VOL. XXII. TEDDY STANDS PAT Reiterates His Views Anent Railroad Situation. ATTITUDE IS UNCHANGED In Declining Invitation to Make Public Speech on the Question, He Refers to Previous Acts and President Roosevelt has decided not to accept the invitation of the Illinois Manufacturers' Association to deliver a speech at Springfield, Ill., on the railroad situation. He addressed a letter Monday to C. H. Smith, president of the association, stating that it would be impossible for him to accept their invitation because he did not feel that he had anything to say at this time in a special address on this special subject. The president has received a great number of requests for a statement from him or a manuscript by him concerning the railroad situation. He has given these requests the utmost weight and most careful consideration. After fully looking into the matter, the president informed his advisers that he had come to the conclusion that there was nothing now which he had to say at the comment concerning the railroad situation; that he did not deem it either wise or proper to say anything with a view to any immediate situation in Wall street, and that as he should only give expression to the definite and settled policy to be carried out wholly without regard to the exigencies of the moment and as his views on the policy in question were already a matter of record, it did not seem necessary at this time to repeat them. To the different men, friendly and unfriendly, who have visited him or written him, he has answered verbally or in writing that his words and acts spoke for themselves and needed no explanation whatever and that he should not in his future course deviate one hair's breadth from the course he has pursued in the past and is now pursuing. It was pointed out in administrative circles that the president has made no reference in speeches or messages to the question of the physical valuation of the railroads. His position on this question, it was said, is that the roads themselves will work out this problem as an item of bookkeeping and reference was made to the fact that two railroads, the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern already have submitted figures as to their physical valuation. It can be stated on authority that the president will ask congress at its next session for power to deal with the question of overcapitalization of railroads. A similar request was made at the last session, but favorable action was not taken upon it. In his letter to Mr. Smith, the president incleded copies of the "speech" he made at Raleigh, N. C., October 19, 1905, and the one he delivered before a delegation of railway employees in Washington on November 14, 1905, together with his last messages to congress at the beginning of the first and second sessions of the last congress. The president concludes his letter to Smith as follows: "You will see in the two speeches and the two messages that I have said about all that I would say if I spoke now. As I said to your body the other day, I have already expressed again and again my carefully thought out beliefs. I am more firmly than ever convinced that these beliefs are wise, and that the policy I recommended in my messages at the opening of each of the last regular sessions of congress must be carried out. Just at the moment I do not see that I have much to add to what I have already said, and I think that what has occurred since I wrote the two messages in question merely illustrates in striking fashion the desirability of the course I therein outlined." TO COUNT BANK NOTES. Work Will Consume Two Weeks and Services of Twenty-Four Men. In view of the fact that not for over five years has there been an accounting of the unsigned bank notes in the vaults of the treasury department, Comptroller Ridgely has secured the authority of Secretary Cortelou to have such a count made. The work will consume at least two weeks' time and require the services of six clarks and eighteen counters. clerks and engineers "The vaults at present contain about $173,000,090 of these netos.— The Savannah Tribune. ALABAMA IS ENJOINED From Enforcing New Rate Laws—Injunction Only Temporary and Matter Will Be Fought Out. At Montgomery, Saturday, Judge Thomas G. Jones of the United States circuit court, gave the first setback to the railroad rate and regulation laws just passed by the Alabama legislature by issuing an order restraining the application, of any or all of them which will tend to decrease the compensation of the carriers or prevent them from operating without restraint. The order is for thirty days, during which time the question of a permanent injunction will be considered. The laws restrained are one making the rates of freight on June 1, the maximum rates for all time, the 2 1-2 cent passenger fare regulation, and the bill classifying railroads and commodities and fixing rates on 110 articles of shipment. It was agreed that the reductions in these rates would make it impossible for the rail lines of the state to do business without loss. Judge A. B. Humphrey of Louisville, said the Southern would fall behind $75,000 to $150,00 a year, and the statement was made that the roads are not now earning 3 per cent on the valuation placed for taxes. Judge Jones explained that, the order was simply one to hold the state cfr until it could be determined what was just and right, and did not pass upon the merits of the situation at all. REAPER CALLS GALUSHA GROW. Venerable Ex-Congressman, of Nota- ble Career, Passes to Beyond. Former Congressman G. A. Grow died at his home in Glenwood, Pa., Sunday morning as a result of a general breakdown, attributed to old age. Mr. Grow was elected to congress from the Wilmot district of Pennsylvania as the youngest member of that body in 1851, and after retirement from public life for nearly forty years, he re-entered the house of representatives at large from Pennsylvania fourteen years ago. When he retired four years ago, his public service in the house extended over the longest period, although not continuous service, of any man who ever sat in that body. During the antebellum days he was one of the best known men in the United States, and in 1864 he came within one vote of being nominated for vice president in place of Andrew Johnson, who became president on the death of Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Grow was elected speaker of the house of representatives in 1861, and occupied that position during the first two years of the war, until his retirement from congress in 1863. Mr. Grow's greatest public service was as the "father" of the homestead act, through which measure many million acres of western farm lands were opened up to settlement by homesteaders, an act which has been credited with doing more than any other thing for the development of the great west. Will Be Furnished by Daughters of Confederacy on Application. Confederacy on Applicant Duplicate crosses of honor will be supplied by the United Daughters of the Confederacy to those veterans who have been unfortunate enough to lose their originals. This announcement was made Saturday in the form of a general order by General Stephen D. Lee, general commanding the United Confederate Veterans. PEACHES RIPE IN LOUISIANA. Mildest Winter in Thirty Years Cause of Phenomenon. Ripe peaches gathered months ahead of time were picked a few days ago in Plaquemine parish, Louisiana. The mildest winter in thirty years was the cause of the peaches ripening in March, and samples of the fruit will be saved for exhibition at the Jamestown exhibition. PARSON ACTED NAUGHTY. Baptist Minister Fired for Kissing the Wife of Another Man. For kissing or attempting to kiss Mrs. C. A. London, the wife of his Sunday school superintendent, Rev. G. L. Barnwell, the pastor of the Edgowood Baptist church at Atlanta, has been discharged from the pastorate of the church by the board of decons. Mr. Barnwell declared that he would immediately, surrender his ministerial credentials and do penace for his misconduct. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY., APRIL 6. 1907. FARMERS WARNED Continuance of Rural Routes Up to Them. Where Rules of Delivery Service Are Disregarded It Will Be Reduced, or Discontinued Altogether by Authorities. A Washington special says: The decision of the Fourth Assistant Postmaster General DeGraw concerning the discontinuance of rural mail routes, where they are not supported by those living along those routes, is a matter of the utmost importance to every R. F. D. route, especially in the southern states. Investigation shows that these routes are not being patronized in the south anything like as liberally as north of the Ohio river. In order to ascertain the cause of the trouble and to see just to what extent R. F. D. routes generally are being patronized, the postoffice department during the past few months instituted a careful inquiry throughout the country. Special inspectors have been instructed to make investigation, and these reports recently submitted account for the department orders discontinuing quite a number of rural routes—more in the south than anywhere else. Fourth Assistant Postmaster General DeGraw has rendered a decision insisting upon adherence to the regulations requiring that boxes on rural mail routes should be erected by the roadside so that carriers can get easy access to them without, dismounting from their vehicles. Not only are boxes to be erected by those who expect to patronize these routes, but wheeer it is ascertained that residents living along a route are not patronizing the mail service to an extent that will justify a continuance of the route, orders will be issued abolishing the route, leaving the people to get their malt the best they can by sending to the nearest posoffice. The policy of the department will be that where the country people want a daily mail service, they will be given it, but it will not be forced upon communities that do not want it. Where a daily mail service is patronized it will be continued, but if the people do not manifest an interest is such a service, it will be changed to a tri-weekly or even to a weekly service, and if not patronized, the delivery service will be dropped altogether, forcing recourse to the nearest postoffice to which patrons will have to send for their mail. It is inconceivable how so many country people in the south should manifest such little interest in a daily R. F. D. service, which, by universal consent among farmers of the cast and west, is considered to be the most advanced step ever taken for the betterment of country life In the south it is found that while invariably the most up-to-date, progressive farmers are deeply interested in their R. F. D. service, a large percentage of the patrous living along the different routes pay but little attention to it, and seem to care very little whether or not the service is discontinued. It is such indifference as this that may result in the discontinuance of a great many southern routes; the liberal and progressive element paying the penalty for the lethargy of the indifferent and unprogressive residents living along the route. In some cases it has been found that where a route has been established upon the showing that there were as many as 125 homes to be serve1, not more than fifty of these homes would patronize the service after it was established—the other seventy-five not even manifesting enough interest to put up mail boxes. Mobile and Ohio Turns Down Appeal of Engineers. The general wage adjustment committee of the engineers employed on the Mobile and St. Louis were refused an increase in wages of 10 and 15 per cent as asked for by them in a conference of four days at Mobile. An appeal was made to the vice president of the company, but he turned it down. The officials were asked to meet the general officers of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers at a meeting to be held later in Atlanta, Ga. SOMEBODY HAS LIED The President and Harriman Clash as to Veracity. SOMÉ SECRETS DIVULGED Big Railroad Manipulator Says He Raised Campaign Fund at President's Request—Roosevelt Denies Flatly the Assertion. A Washington dispatch says; President Roosevelt Tuesday afternoon gave the lie to the assertion made in an alleged Harriman-Webster letter by making public copies of letters which the president wrote to Congressman Sherman of New York last October. In one the president said: "I understand you to say that he (Harfman) alleged that I had made this promise (referring to Depew as French ambassador), at the time when he had come to see me in Washington when 'I requested him to raise $250,000 for the republican presidential campaign.' Any such statement is a deliberate and wilful unruth. By right it should be characterized by even a shorter and more ugly word. I never requested Harriman to raise a dollar for the presidential campaign in 1904." Roosevelt's denial was contained in a brief statement and copies of letters written to Representative Sherman of New York. The letters are dated October 8 and October 12, 1906, respectively. A New York special says: E. H. Harriman gave out a statement late Tuesday night in response to the statement made public by President Roosevelt. In part it was as follows: "For many years I have maintained an intimate confidential correspondence with my friend, Sidney Webster. What I wrote him, and what he wrote me was, of course, intended for our eyes alone. In the course of a letter which he wrote me in December, 1905, he warned me against being drawn into politics, and questioned whether I had any political or party instinct united to what he was pleased to call my business instinct. This drew from me the reply to Webster's inquiry, which is a substantially correct form, and has been stolen and published. This letter was written on January 2, 1906, at a time when no one could doubt the cordiality of my relations with the president. "About ten days ago I was told that a discharged stenographer was trying to sell to some newspapers a reproduction from his notes of one of my private letters. I could hardly believe that any matter so obtained would be accepted or published, yet I made every effort to prevent it. When I learned late yesterday afternoon that a New York paper had a transcript of these notes, I notified the publisher at once of the facts, and urged upon his attention the gross outrage that the publication of it under such circumstances would involve me. While deploring, of course, that the sacredness of a private correspondence should thus be violated, I cannot withdraw anything in the letter. "I have read the president's statement. I am most anxious to treat him and his other utterances with consideration due to the high office which he holds. Nevertheless, I feel bound to call attention to certain things in regard to which he does me an injustice." ST. LOUIS GOES DEMOCRATIC. Republicans Are Badly Beaten in Municipal Election. $ ^{a} $ As a result of the city election in St. Louis, Mo., Tuesday, the republicans concede to the democrats the entire city council ticket, all members of the school board and fifteen of the twenty-eight members of the house of delegates. The democrats claim five additional TEMPTING REWARD OFFERED. For Apprehension of Frank M. Jones, Absconding Cashier. A circular has been sent out from Charlotte, N. C., offering a reward of $1,000 for the apprehension of Frank M. Jones, the absconded teller of the Charlotte National bank, who disappeared on March 16. An examina- tion of his books showed that he was $68,000 short, and it is believed he has the greater part of this amount on his person. Ten per cent of all the alleged embezzled funds recovered will be paid to the person making such recovery, in addition to the reward of $1,000. CHURCH DOGMAS CURIOS Cincinnati Methodist Preachers' Union Stirred by Sensational Words of One of Its Members. The Methodist ministers in Cincinnati had a sizzling session at the Methodist Book Concern Monday in the regular meeting of the local Methodist Preachers' Union, at which meeting Rev. Dr. Davis W. Clark retired after his term of two years as president of the union. All was serene until Dr. Clark decided that theological dogmas are "curios and could well be kept on the top shelf." Immediately there was a storm, mostly of protest. However, a few of the ministers sided with Dr. Clark. The subject was so enthralling that nearly everybody present desired to voice his protest or his defense of Dr. Clark's words. Dr. Clark was led to make his statement about dogmas being "curios" in his reference to Professor H. G. Mitchell, of Boston University, who has been on trial before the board of bishops on charges of preaching heresy. Dr. Clark said: "I protest against the manner in which the ecclesiastical authorities have been trying his case. "The board of bishops receive him practically condemned already, and with his case unjustly weakened. Hero is a great scholar of whom the Methodists may well be proud, virtually exiled." A murmur of disapproval swept over the audience at the word "curios" and as soon as Dr. Clark sat down half a dozen preachers tried to get the floor to voice their disapproval. Dr. Clark sald: "Now I am opposed to making any more theological definitions—God save us from them; the kingdom of God is within you. You cannot write it in books. It is love and service and faith. Our dogmas may well be kept as curios and placed on the top shelf. We may keep them as we do our 'rule of conduct for preachers,' which we have not destroyed, but which we simply preserve as a curio, although we know it cannot be observed and enforced in this day and represents the ideas of the past." The Reverend H. O. Enwall said: "The church will isuffer an inestimable loss in casting out so lovely a soul as is Dr. Mitchell." Dr. M. Pearson said: "I desire to voice a strong protest against the attitude that our creed is a curio, fit for the top shelf." "The Rev. Albert Thomas followed with this dramatic statement: "The action of the bishops was vicious and a discredit to the church. Dr. Mitchell is an inspiration. If he is a heretic I would like to be one like him." "I do not care what becomes of me, ecclesiastically," said Dr. Clark, in closing. The death of Bishop Granberry makes four bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, who have passed away during the past two years, the others being Bishops Tigert, Hargrove and Smith. LOTTERY SCHEME UNEARTHED. Federal Authorities After Prominent Citizens in Mississippi. Sensational disclosures regarding the operation of a lottery scheme on the Mississippi coast was placed in the hands of the federal authorities at Jackson Monday. Judge Niles has called a special term of the federal court to meet at Biloxi April 22, to indict the persons involved, some of whom, are alleged to be among the most prominent citicitizens of that section of the state. It is said that a regular drawing of prizes has taken place aboard vessels in the waters of the gulf Aged Methodist Prelate Passes Away While Sitting in Chair. Bishop John C. Granberry of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, died suddenly at his home in Ashland, Ya., Monday, while sitting in a chair. He was 76 years of age, and had been bishop since 1832. BAD WRECK IN TEXAS. Six Trainmen Lose Life in-Head-On Crash of Freights. Six trainmen were killed in a head-on collision between two freight trains on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad six miles south of Fort Valley early Monday. Fire broke out immediately and the two brakemen were burned. Over 300 head of cattle were also cremated and eight cars of merchandise were destroyed. The engineers and firemen of both trains met death. The other two trains were brakemen. A GRAFT ON MAILS Has Proved Veritable Bonanza for Railways. STARTLING DISCLOSURES Roads of Country Charge Uncle Sam More Than Thrice the Rate Al- A Washington dispatch says: Between the investigation that the census bureau is making with a view to determining the relative pay the railroads receive for the transportation of mail and express matter, and the investigation which the postal commission is preparing to make with a view to determining further whether rates of mail pay should be reduced or not, there will be much light thrown on the subject. Professor Adams, now statistician for the interstate commerce commission, investigated the subject for the Wolcott postal commission. One of the mail routes he investigated was that between New York and Buffalo. He found that the government paid $21.73 per ton for the transportation of mail between these two points. He then investigated the express business between the samo points. He found that the average rate which the express companies make to the public was $25 per ton, and that the contract they had with the railroads was that the latter should haul their express at forty per cent of the gross charges, which would amount to $10 per ton. Thus, he found, in actual practice on this road, the government paid 3.173 times as much for the transportation of mail as was charged by the railroads for the transportation of express. But in order to err on the side of goodness, if at all, Professor Adams made his calculation on the basis of the railroad's getting fifty per cent of the gross express charges, and found that even on this basis the railroad charged the express companies $12.50 per ton for performing a not dissimilar service than that for which the government paid it $21.73 per ton. It is believed by many of those who have investigated the matter that the first duty of the government is to see to it that the railroads take additional precautions for the safety of the mail. The long list of wrecks which have occurred within the past year have resulted in the destruction of many thousands of dollars of mail which had it been carried in electrically lighted steel cars, they declare, might have been saved, as actual experience has shown the mail to be immune from danger in case of wrecks, when carried in such cars. It is contended that the rates of pay are ample to justify the government in requiring all future mail cars to be thus constructed. BEER OUTPUT CURTAILED As Result of Strike of Brewery Workers at St. Louis. The strike inaugurated by the United Brewery Workers, by reason of which 1,300 employees quit work in the twenty-one East St. Louis breweries to enforce demands for increased wages, has already had the effect of curtailing the output of beer. The breweries will continue to supply local trade, but it is announced that out-of-town business has been abandoned for the time being. FAST TRAIN MANGLES FOUR. Carriage Struck on Crossing and Occupants Instantly Killed. Four persons in a carriage—two men and two women—were instantly killed late Sunday afternoon at a crossing of the Chicago and Alton railroad, two miles cast of Kansas City, by the Alton's western flyer. The bodies were horribly mutilated and it was some time before they were identified as Mr. and Mrs. George Henry and Mr. Monner and wife. WQMAN NOT INDICTED For Alleged Complicity in Assassination of Her Husband. The grand jury for Polk county, Tennessee, has refused to indict Mrs. Abble McCays Guinn of McCays, for the alleged assassination of her husband, Colonel William A. Guinn, on December 6th of last year. A true bill was returned against J. Allen for the killing, and he will tried at once. Largest Sick and Death Benefits; Smallest Premiums. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society lang in total Ten Thousand Dollars, and which are held by the State of Georgia, by authority and under the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly, approved October 22d, 1887, and amended December 20th, 1897. Georgia Cullings Curtailed Items of Interest Gathered at Random. Pelham has voted for bonds to construct water works, lights, sewers and an ice plant. Not a vote was cast against the bonds in the election held the past week. Pelham is the first town in Georgia to take steps to own and operate a municipal ice plant. The case of the state vs. Fred Bag well, a boy who is 11 years old, and charged with murder for shooting Ras Freunan, a boy at Lavonia, last January, was placed on trial at Carnesville a few days ago before Judge Brand and a jury quickly secured. The jury was out a short while and rendered a verdict of not guilty. --- Preacher Involved in Trouble. Rev. Solon H. Bryan, pastor of the Methodist church at Millen, has became involved in trouble in which a young woman's name figures. The young woman was studying under Mr. Bryan for the purpose of becoming a foreign missionary. A church trial was held and Mr. Bryan was suspended from preaching until the next conference. * * * Tallapoosa to Have Cotton Mill. At last the city of Tallapoosa is to have a $200,000 cotton mill.

The priceless Bulloch-Roosevelt relics of Georgia, consisting of two silver cups and a miniature of Governor Archibald Bulloch, ancestor of President Roosevelt, and one of the early governors of Georgia, have been received by Governor Ellison of the Jamestown exposition, and placed in a safety vault until the completion of the fire-proof history building, in which they will be exhibited. Troops for Andersonville. Governor Terrell has directed the adjutant general to issue an order sending the Americus Light Infantry to Andersonville on May 30, National Decoration Day. It has been the custom for several years past to send a company of troops to Andersonville on this occasion on account of the SOL. C. JOHNSON, Supt. of Ageno Treasurer of the State of Georgia. excursions which carry there large numbers of negroes. Almost every year there was a killing at Andersonville until the state began to send troops there to preserve order, but in recent years the community has been kept comparatively peaceful on this occasion. The government census bureau at Washington has just announced its figures on the population of cities of the country on June 1, 1906. According to these estimates Atlanta now has a total of 104,984 people as opposed to 89,872, the official census of the government taken in the year 1900. This showing gives Atlanta a gain of 15,000 people for a period of five years, or a nearly increase in the neighborhood of 3,000. The increase in population of other of the larger cities in Georgia, according to the census figures for 1900 and 1906 are: Savannah from 54,244 to 68,596; Augusta from 39,441 to 43,125; and Macon from 23,272 to 32,692. The census bureau does not claim, however, that these figures are absolutely accurate, as they are more in the nature of estimates. Money for Agricultural Schools. Governor Terrell has just ordered sent to the treasurers of the new agricultural districts $2,000 each from the fund arising from the inspection of fertilizers. This completes the first distribution to all of the district agricultural schools. Later in the year a second distribution will be made, which will give them a little over $4,000 each from this fund for 1906. If the legislature makes provision for giving them the entire fund next year, each of the schools will receive about $6,000. Georgia is preparing to fight a scheme on foot in Chattanooga which, if carried through successfully, would destroy the valuable terminals in that city of the Western and Atlantic—the state railroad. A measure has been introduced in the Tennessee general assembly empowering the city of Chattanooga to extend a certain street in such a way that it would cut squarely in half the twenty-three tracks in the yards owned by the state of Georgia in the Tennessee city. This street extension would cut the twenty-three tracks in two, and destroy the property. But Georgia is on guard and will fight the movement It means the preservation of state terminals of immense value, which is destroyed by the street extension proposed, would mean the loss of thousands of dollars worth of extremely valuable property—and almost hem- * * * Latest Population Census. * * * * * State Would Lose Heavily. ming off the state road from entrance to Chattanooga. Pupils Hauled by Wagon. Several decided improvements in school management are being inaugurated in Tift county under the local taxation system. One of the best is at Tyty, where a wagon is used for hauling the pupils a distance of several miles to the Tyty school. By this means the board of education saves the expense of one teacher and finds that it can very well afford to pay the expense of hauling the children to school and then have several dollars to spare when the expense of maintaining a separate school is considered. The system has been found so profitable, as well as beneficial, to the children in the country, that the putting on of several wagons is contemplated. * * * . Steamer Line in Sight. President John Betjeman, of the Georgia Immigration Association was in Savannah the past week conferring relative to the direct line that is to be established with European ports for the purpose of bringing immigrants to this state. Mr. Betjeman says he is certain that within sixty days the first sailing for Savannah will take place. He seems confident that the work to be done under state supervision will not meet with interference at the hands of the national government. "There is a great demand in the state for immigrants," said Mr. Betjeman. "I have now on file in my office at Albany 7,000 applications for immigrants." General Evans to Head Staff. General Clement A. Evans, the ranking Confederate veteran in Georgia, Heutenant general of the United Confederate Veterans' Association and next in command in that organization to General Stephen D. Lee, has been tendered by Governor-Elect Hoke Smith and has accepted the position of chief of staff to the new governor. In this capacity General Evans will head the list of colonel or lieutenant colonels, composing the staff of Governor Smith. There will be only twenty-eight members of the next governor's staff under the new military law passed several years ago, and it is required that all of these shall have had some military experience. Governor Terrell has about 150 lieutenant colonels on his staff, and under a special law was permitted to retain them until the end of his second administration.

Dr. Anita Newcomb McGee, the only woman who enjoys the distinction of being a member of the United Spanish war veterans and who held the commissioned rank of lieutenant in charge of the army nurses in the war with Spain, has received from the Japanese government a handsome medal in recognition of the services of herself and her corps of American nurses in the late war between Japan and Russia. The token is of unique design and inscribed in Japanese characters. that she is not in place unless wears an emerald set with diamond attachments. The fashion was set by the Duchess of Edinburgh, follow by the Hon. Mrs. Arthur Lyttleton, emphasized by Princess Henry Battenberg. When Mrs. O. H. P. H. mont and then Mrs. Perry Belm came to be King Edward's guest they accepted the emerald as a badge of fashion. Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt lowed, and now no jewel case is complete without the famous jewel. The natural result, aside from a big juju Running Upstairs! English women have taken up as a pastime running up and down stairs—the object being principally to see who can get up the most rapidly and make the most noise! In view of the fact that running up stairs has hitherto been considered as bad for the heart, it is rather a revolution to society, although, no doubt, the violent exercise is good for the liver. The question is, What next? Will sliding down the banisters be advocated as a new method of utilizing the parallel bars? Few Plain Women. However, there are no really plain women these days. They cannot all be beautiful, which is a great blessing in a way, for there would not be conceit to go around, but the girl of today has learned how to make the most of those graces of mind and body, which a kindly Providence has bestowed on her. Though we are living in a strenuous age, there never was a time when women could have and hold their good looks and cultivate their minds with greater ease than the present. Fur Cuffs. Solution of the problem of how to wear the elbow sleeve outdoors in cold weather and look pretty, yet not suffer the freezing of one's arms, has been found by a clever girl from Bolivia who is in Washington. Senorita Calderon has a champagne cloth gown, with wide lace flowing from the elbows. Fitted close to the skin is a wide cuff of ermine, and this is supplemented by pale yellow suede gamlet gloves. With a big white hat covered with plumes and a muff and collarette of the ermine the South American looks charming. Leave Your Child Alone. If you'll get deep enough into a child's confidence you'll find that its one burning desire—the one dream of what it intends to do when it gets grown—is to get away from mamma and papa and do some perfectly simple thing that it is not allowed to do at home. --- There is not one child in a thousand among well-to-do people who is able to give what they consider sufficient care to their children who is ever permitted the slightest independence of action or thought, says Woman's Life. That is what makes poverty a blessing to children, and the reason that so many of our most famous men and women and our most daring and original thinkers have sprung from the humblest ranks in life. The Hotel Children. An English magazine, commenting on "that curious product of civilization, the hotel child," as being so much in evidence at present, says that in many respects it is older than its mother. "Most often the creature is of American extraction," it goes on, "but lately some of our English bairns may be called at least an excellent copy." And it tells of a party of precocious mites who were playing bridge, when a testy old man observed, "When I was a youngster I preferred a good romp at hide and seek to the best card game ever invented." Nobody took the least notice of him till he was out of earshot. Then a little girl whispered to her brother, "Did you hear him?" "Yes," replied the boy, loftily, "but it only shows how much more childish he was at our age than we are." Why the Women Didn't Vote. The members of a woman's club in Malden recently decided to take as much interest in politics as the law allows them, namely, to vote for school committee. In order that none of their number might be misguided a meeting of the society was called for the afternoon of election day for the purpose of thoroughly discussing the merits of the respective candidates. The meeting was held and in due season a decision as to who should be supported was reached, then the party set out for the polls to cast their ballots, but, alas! they had taken so long for their discussion that the polls had been closed a full half hour before the women arrived. A telephonic petition to Mayor Warren requesting that he reopen the polls was, of course, without effect, and, well—the women didn't vote. Husbands are forced to wait for women, but the polls will not.—Boston Herald. Emeralds as They Come. It is said by jewelers that the craze for emeralds here can be traced to the fact that wealthy American women insist upon following the fashions set by royalty in London. A woman in the British capital, at a duke's reception attended by the king, feels that she is not in place unless she wears an emerald set with diamond attachments. The fashion was set by the Duchess of Edinburgh, followed by the Hon. Mrs. Arthur Lyttleton and emphasized by Princess Henry of Battenberg. When Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont and then Mrs. Perry Belmont came to be King Edward's guests they accepted the emerald as a badge of fashion. Mrs. Stuveyeant Fish and Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt followed, and now no jewel case is complete without the famous jewel. The natural result, inside from a big jump in the prices, is that bogus stones are flooding the market. It is said of the wife of a 70-year-old railroad president that she has paid $300 a carat for split emeralds.—New York Press. A Woman Who Heads Expeditions. In her account, In Harper's, of her mountain-climbing in the Andes Miss Annie Peck narrates some dramatic incidents and narrow escapes in climbing Mount Huascaran: "Our progress was slow, as the way was steeper and more difficult. Suddenly, in crossing a gully, our leader slipped and slid rapidly down as far as the rope allowed, dropping his ice-axe by the way instead of using it to stop himself; so it depended solely on me. Luckily I now had on climbing-irons and was holding the rope_fight. When the pull came, much to my delight it was not so strong as I expected, and I had no difficulty in retaining my position and stopping his downward career. E readily regained his feet and his ice-axe, and we continued on our way. Again X. refused to proceed with the rope or to carry the camera. I called him a coward, and all I could in Spanish, to no avail. 'He did not propose to be killed, if we were; he would hold the rope in his hand.' Yes, and drop it if we both slipped. No, indeed, said L. It was all or none. I took the camera, colled up the extra rope, and went-on with E, alone. Presently I perceived X. following. He overtook us, half apologized for his conduct, said he would take the camera and put on the rope, but what would I give him? I considered the 20 soles promised far more than he deserved, but at length agreed to give 30 if we reached the big rock. It seemed nea, but the with necessary windings and our delays, at half past one it might take another hour to arrive. Fearing that the Indians would depart, leaving the tents, etc., on the snow, if we did not return by three, I reluctantly gave the word to halt." High Heels Best. "This talk about high heels' breaking the arch of the foot is all nonsense," said a chiropodist, who made a specialty of the "broken arch" difficulty. "It is the spring heel and very low heel that cause the trouble. Mothers should never be guilty of putting spring heel shoes on their children, for it means a flat and ugly foot in later years. Just as soon as a child can toddle around it should be provided with a soft, pliable shoe which has the tiniest bit of a heel. This tends to throw the weight of the body forward on the ball of the foot where it is most easily supported and relieves the strain on the arch. "You have often seen small children who have just learned to walk run over the heels of their shoes, haven't you? It is not because they are unsteady on their feet which is the popular opinion, but because their weight is resting on the arch, or where the bone of the lower leg meets the bone of the foot. The flat foot may begin at this very time, so great care should be taken as to just what shoes the little toddlers wear. In some of the European countries little ones wear one-quarter inch heels on their shoes, but American mothers seems to think that spring heels are smarter and more healthful. "For adults the moderately high Cuban heel is the most comfortable and sensible for ordinary wear. The flat heels and the commonsense heel should both be tablooed. Even the French heel is not particularly injurious if it is only worn occasionally and when the woman will not walk much, but of corse, it is ridiculous for a walking boot. But, whatever you do, avoid the low heel."—New York Press. Fashion Notes That Wattean effects are to succeed the Empire. Dotted Swisses are promised great popularity for summer dresses. The new figure is small-waisted and high-busbed, but the hips must be slender. A small bow in the lining to indicate the front of the hat, is a very convenient. There is nothing nicer for trimming the bath or slumber robe than silk in plain color. Chemisette and undersleeves of row after row of creamy lace are most effective on a colored costume. Gold clasps set with diamonds or other precious stones fasten beautiful ropes of pearls for evening wear. Long white feather boas edged with black are a bit striking, but they are worn with smart effect by some of the younger women. The present fancy for dashes of color on the street costume provides for the introduction of a becoming bit of color, which is often repeated in the single flower on the hat. INDIANS INCREASING. UNCLE SAM'S WARDS PROSPERING IN MANY WAYS. Nearly 300,000 Now in the United States and More Than Half Dress Like Ordinary Americans—Senate and House Both Have Indian Representatives. A favorite theme for orators is the pathetic passing of the Indian. It will not doubt be a disappointment to well meaning speakers to learn that instead of declining numerically the Indian is now actually increasing in numbers. That is what the statisticians say. It has never been definitely determined just what was the greatest number of Indians in America when they were unmolested. Some authorities say that the number could not have exceeded a million, others assert that it could not have been more than 800,000, and still others contend that there were never more than 500,000. At the present time there are about 284,000 members of the red race in the United States. There are Indians in eighteen States and three Territories, exclusive of the Indian Territory. Nearly all the tribes are west of the Mississippi; in fact, most of them are beyond the Missouri. There are 156 reservations in all. In the northwestern part of New York there are about 5,000 descendants of the great warrior tribes living on eight reservations. Today there are 159,000 Indians who wear citizens' dress in whole or in part, and 70,000 who can read and speak English. There are 28,000 Indian families now living in comfortable modern dwellings. When the Government first began supplying the Indians with houses it often proved a difficult matter to keep the old warriors in them. They would take possession in the best of faith, but the call of the wild would soon prove so insistent that they would stable their horses in Uncle Sam's nice little houses and go back to their teepees. But when an Indian once gets installed in a house he doesn't like to have any changes made in it. No matter how large his family may grow, or how much money generous Uncle Sam may give him, he insists upon remaining in his original one story shanty. The Cherokees, who tracked De Soto's footsteps for many weary days while he was marching through the Southern forests and swamps, and who later welcomed Oglethorpe to Georgia, are the most advanced in civilization and the most eager for education, spending $200,000 a year on their schools and colleges. The Chickasaws have five colleges with 400 students, maintained at a yearly cost of $47,000. They also have thirteen district schools, costing $16,000. The Choctaws have 150 schools, in some of which the higher branches are taught. The Seminoles, one of the smallest tribes, have two schools. The Creeks have ten colleges and sixty-five common schools, with a total attendance of 2500. The Indians make a strong religious showing. They have 390 church buildings and a total membership of about 40,000. Two Indian chiefs who became converted to the Methodist faith, and who were later licensed to preach, were Ma-Nuncle and Between-the-Logs. Father Negahqnquet is said to be the only living fullblood Indian who is a Roman Catholic priest. He studied in Rome, and upon his return to this country said mass in the big Catholic church at Oklahoma. This was the first mass ever said by a fullblood Indian priest on American soil. He is now working among the people of his race in Oklahoma and Indian Territory. Charles Curtis will enter the United States Senate as a Senator from Kansas, and will be the first representative of the American Indian in that body. Mr. Curtis is not of pure Indian lineage, but his mother belonged to the Kaw tribe. He and his five children have received allotments of Shawnee county land in settlement of what Uncle Sam thinks he owes to the race. Mr. Curtis has already served fourteen years in the House. Adam Monroe Byrd, a representative from Mississippi, is also of Indian blood. He traces yhis' ancestry through a long line of distinguished Cherokee chieftals. He has the high cheekbones, copper skin and straight hair which indicate the blood of the original American, and he has often been taken for a "dressed up" representative of some Western tribe to the "Great Father in Washington." The Toremost Indian in public life today is Quonah Parker, chief of the Comanches, and a political power in the new State of Oklahoma. Chief Parker is a Democrat, and there are many who say he will come to the Senate from the newly-admitted Commonwealth. He was opposed to the union of Indian Territory with Oklahoma, and was the leading spirit in the convention which met to frame a constitution for the proposed State of Sequoyah. Chief Parker's mother was a white woman, Cindy Parker, who was captured by the Indians when a girl, and later became the wife of Quonah, a Comaniche warrior. In the list of prominent Indians of today might be included Dr. Charles Eastman, a Sloux; Dr. Carlos Montezuma, an Apache; Francis LaFlesche, an Omaha Indian, now a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a Government employee; Honore Jackson, a successful lawyer in Chicago; Miss Angel de Cora, a Winnebago, and artist who has met with much success in illustrating Indian life, and Miss Zilkala, a Yankton Sioux, a magazine writer. The main effect of Indian education today is to make him competent to earn a white man's wages. The agent on the Pine Ridge Agency in South Dakota advertises to supply Indian laborers for work on railroads and irrigation ditches. Employers of labor who are using them for ditching or grading say they are reliable and steady. Many Indians are 'making their mark as business men. Col. Sol McLisk, a rich Chickasaw, and a number of his wealthy tribesmen, have established a banking and real estate firm in Oklahoma near the Chickasaw boundary. In order to handle the affairs of their people. The Indian has already attracted considerable attention in athletics. The Carlisle football team ranks with the best. The various Indian baseball teams that tour the country during the summer months always give a good account of themselves when matched against high-class amateur and semi-professional teams. In Canada there is an Indian boy named Thomas Longboat, who is hailed as the greatest long distance runner living today. He is only 19 years old, and has not had much experience, but Sherring, who is the world's champion since the Olympic games, says the Indian lad will eventually beat the world. Red Cloud, a full blood Cherokee Indian, is a promising puglist.—New York Sun. THEFTS OF THE SEAGULLS. The gull is in paradise in Cornish fishing villages, and takes possession of the boats and quays and roofs of houses, and pays great attention to all that is going on with a keen eye to the main chance of appropriating something tasty when no one is looking, only turn your head a moment and your fish is gone, the bird flying with it in its powerful bill across the harbor. A greater thief does not live and escape punishment—it has conscientious objections to the eight commandment, and whoever trusts its honor will be deceived. There is a soft place in our deep sea fishers' hearts for the bird which follows them in and out all the year 'round, and shows them in season the most likely places to cast their nets. The fisherman keeps his eye lifting as he sails, and notes where the gulls fly or swoop down and strike at something in the water invisible to human sight at a distance. Often this is the only guide they have for shooting their nets; so they are friendly with the birds and love them in a fashion, and do not begrudge them a share of the spoil. Then, when the nets are all aboard, the seagull files homeward before the boats, announcing with shrill cries the return of the men to the women, who awake and make ready. Fisherman say that gulls sometimes attach themselves to certain boats and bring them "luck," following them at sea and resting always on the same spars when in harbor. The men feed them casually with broken fish and offal as they strut between their legs ashore, and they are so tame that those who know them may catch them by the wings. During the centuries, in fair weather and in foul, good seasons and bad, our fishers and birds have linked fortunes, until there has grown up a feeling of comradeship and a superstitious regard for the silver gray bird with the half human cry. But on land this beautiful bird, with round black, lustrous eyes, is another self—a marauder, a fighter, a poacher, a committee of sin which no tears of repentance can wash away. Following the plough for worms, what more innocent and beautiful against the dark furrows? But, alas! contact with the soil rapidly develops the latent vices and set the birds quarrelling with the rooks and crows and robbing hen roosts, carrying off young chickens and unfledged birds and killing rabbits just for the luxury of feeding on their eyes. One can hardly believe that the brave seagull, riding on the billows and battling undaunted in tempests, could ever be guilty of the immoralities ladd to its charge on land—even to petty meanness of fighting with London sparrows in St. James's Park. But alas! the bill is a true one—a case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in the feathered world—London Dally Mall. Logical English I paused to talk with a fishmonger. "Fishmonger," said I, pleantntly, "why do you fishmong?" He answered with a cordial smile: "I fishmong because my father fishmang before me." "And have you been fishmonging long?" I asked further. "Yes," was the reply. "I have fishmong for seven years come Michgelmas." "You are a worthy fishmonger." I responded, "and I am sure you always mong the best of fish."—Carolyn Wells in Life. Effects.

Maine Woodprckers Innocent Inglis Stuart writes to the New York Sun that in his opinion the Maine woodpeckers are innocent of tearing up the Maine hornet nests in winter to get at the cold-storage food inside. "According to my observation, extending over many years," he writes, "these nests are sought by the small snow birds as a shelter winter nights. These birds can readily squeeze through the entrance hole, and once inside bestow themselves snugly between the combs. The passing in and out of creatures far more ponderous than the agile hornets tends after a comparatively short period to rip the home apart." Pony That Eats Tobacco Williamsport, Ind.—A pretty Shetland pony that carries a lame girl to the Methodist church three times each Sunday at Indianapolis is a tobacco-chewing fiend. While the girl is in the church the pony is tied to the hitching rack. It stands quietly if it has tobacco to eat, but attempts to break away if passersby do not give it the weed. When the pastor of the church approaches, the pony puts its nose in the minister's pocket and "whinnies what may mean in horse talk: "Give me a chew," but the pony soon shakes its head in a dissatisfied manner because the pastor does not use tobacco. The little girl is unable to cure the pony of its had habit. Striking of Clocks The clock of our grandfathers time came from England, and struck every quarter of an hour.; Another ancient one plays old songs and hymns instead of striking. A heavy striking clock is made for a library, not for a bedroom. Fit the clocks to the general appearance of the room. Often they are the only sitfit things in it. Those tall gilt clocks, with the intermittent alarm, which rings at intervals of a half minute each for 20 minutes, are just the thing for Miss Lie-a-bed. In France some of the new clocks strike up to twenty-four, instead of twice twelve—a very sensible plan. After all, one grows to love the striking of one's own particular clock, and sometimes the striking of a once-familiar clock awakens long-dead memories—New Haven Register. "Mrs." Kangaroo "Mrs." Kangaroo has a big pocket in which she carries her young ones. It is the coziest kind of a place for a little kangaroo, and sometimes you will find a whole family of brothers and sisters in the pouch at once. However, this is not the only way "Mrs." Kangaroo has of carrying her children. When hunters pursue her she puts all her babies into her pocket and runs for dear life, but if she feels that the enemy is gaining on her and that she is in danger of being captured she seizes one little one after another with her forepaws and hurls it out of the pocket to one side of her pathway as far as she can throw it. She takes care to do this only at times when the enemy is not in sight. In this way she is relieved of the weight of the youngsters and she can run faster. At the same time her motive is not a selfish one. She throws her babies out in so skillful a manner that it does not hurt them. They are soft little creatures, and when they land in a brush heap they are none the worse for it. The hunter loses all scent of the little kangaroos by this movement on the part of the mother, and at the most the pursuing pary can capture only self-sacrificing "Mrs." Kangaroo. —Chicago News. The Magic Shoes. Of course when Jack found the wooden shoes down by the river he did not know that they were magic shoes. If he had known, perhaps he would not have touched them. Magicians ought really to be careful not to leave their shoes about. Jack put them on just to see what wooden shoes felt like. Then he sat down by the river and said: "I wish I had a boat. I should so like to ride on the water." When you have magic shoes on, everything you ask for comes to you, and Jack had no sooner wished than a big fairy boat sailed up and cried: "Get on my back if you want a ride." Jack jumped on, and they started away with a wild duck towling them along. Jack shouted for joy, for it was so jolly to feel himself sailing along on the water. But it was a pity he shouted so loudly, for the old magician, who was pleking herbs on the river bank, heard him and when she saw Jack being pulled along by the swan he know Jack must have put on the wooden shoes. "Bring me my shoes at once," he cried, "or I'll wave my wand and send a flight of butterflies after you." Jack only laughed and shouted, "I love butterflies," and the butterflies flew all around and looked pretty in the sunlight, but they didn't hurt Jack. "Bring me my shoes or I'll send a swarm of bees after you," called the magician louder than before. "Bees make honey, and I love bees," answered Jack. And the bees flew all around and then began to kiss the lovely flowers. Bring me my shoes or I'll send a swarm of wasps after you!" thundered the magician. And Jack was so frightened at the very name of the wasps that he took off the shoes and threw them on to the river bank. The next minute he was sitting where he often played and the swan and the magician had both disappeared. Jack sometimes looked for the wooden shoes afterward, but the magician is careful not to leave them about again.-Cincinnati Enquirer. Queena of England. Marguerite of France, second queen consort of Edward L. of England, was early orphaned by the death of her royal father Phillip le Hardl, King of France. She was a sweet-tempered, high-minded damsel, and retained these fine traits of character throughout her life. She was a thoroughly educated young princess, being as virtuous as she was refined and cultured. While Marguerite was still very young her elder sister, Princess Blanche, became the reigning beauty and favorite of Europe. Edward L. of England, having heard her praises sung from afar, sought her hand in marriage. At this time he was a grief-striken widower, still mourning the loss of his beloved Queen Eleanora. But he hoped to banish his heavy sorrow in the smiles of a second beautiful queen. Thus negotiations for the hand of the beautiful Blanche were begun by the King of England, and the historians of those times declare that the Princess Marguerite was substituted in the marriage treaty in the place of her more favored sister Blanche "by a diplomatic maneuver unequaled for craft since the days of Leah and Rachel." However this may be, the name of Marguerite appears in the marriage treaty where that of Blanche was supposed to be. At the time of her betrothal to Edward the Princess Marguerite was just entering her 12th year, but the final arrangement by which she became Edward's consort was not consummated till many years later, as both Edward and his brother, the Duke of Lancaster, bitterly resented the substituting of the plain child, Marguerite, for her gloriously beauteous sister, Blanche, who was in the full bloom of her young womanhood. This piece of "diplomacy" was the work of Philip le Bel, brother to Marguerite and Blanche and King of France, who had other and higher plans for the disposal of his sister Blanche. The misunderstanding between the two kings seems to have been righted, for on the 8th of September, 1299, Marguerite of France was married to Edward I. of England. To quote from a record of that time: "On Tuesday, the day of Our Lady's nativity, in the 27th year of the king, arrived dame Meregrett, the daughter of King Phillip, at Dover, and proceeded the following day to Canterbury; and the present Thursday after came Edward, King of England, into the Church of the Trinity of Canterbury, and espoused the aforesaid Meregrett, Queen of England, of the age xx years." It is a fact worth mentioning that Marguerite of France is the first queen since the Conquest not to enjoy the honor of a coronation; but the royal exchequer was in such distress from continuous warfare that the cost of such a ceremony was not to be indulged in, however much Edward might have wished it. "Marguerite, queen-conserv of Edward I. of England, is the first queen since the Conquest who was not solemnly crowned and anointed."—By Mary Graham. A Town of Many Languages.

This bible institnte should be well patronized Onk teature of the immuigra- tion business in this State was demonstrated last week in At- lanta. The recent ship that landed in Charleston brought a large number of immigrants. ‘These immigrants were sent to several points, in South Caro- lina, Georgia and Alabama _ In Atlanta about twenty of these immigrants were stranded and are now being cared for by the public, being unable to secure employment. And thus it will be with countless others who are coming to thissection. Col ored laborers have nothing to fear from this movement Consistenoy is surely a jewel, and itisone that miny of our business men and leaders of thought” should learn. In our city we hayea few business men who are catering for the patron age of our people, yet do not themselves give their patronage tothe colored printers, employ colored doctors or lawyers. ‘These same men kick vigorously because they do not get a full share of their people’s trade ‘Toe, we have leaders of thought and those who are training the young minds, who are not loyal to race enterprises. They pre- fer spending ‘their money with those of an opposite race so as to be patted on the back and called ‘‘a good nigger’? These classes of our people are inimi cal to race progress. Thé col ored men and women who have children growing up and whom they wish some day to enter some profession or to launch out in business of some kind, should be the loyal supporters of race enterprises. Last week.a small colored boy while passing on’ Liberty, near Tattnal street, was without any provocation, shot by several white boys. The boys were ar- rested. Onaccount of the con- dition of the injured boy he could not appear in court for several days to facethe would- be-murderers. When he did appear the-recorder decided that the white boys were too young to be sentenced but called for vol unteers among the police to give them a flogging. Of course the policemen were not in favor of whipping a white boy especial ly for the grave offense of shoot inga colored boy, and refused, therefore the boys were dis- charged and given this admoni- tion by the recorder that the “must do better next time.” t is not quite clear to us what the recorder meant by admonishing the boys to ‘do better next time.” From the fact that it was in his power to inflict some ponishment on those wayward joys, Or even ordered them given a good flogging instead of calling fos.volunteers to do so, and -he failed, huve caused us to believe that he meant for the boys to in- flict greater ‘injary’on the colored boy “‘next time.” We are not in favor of young boys being sentenced for érimes, but some- thing should have been done to those boys to let them know that itis against the Jaw for them toactassome of them do towards colored boys Tle action of the resorder in this case only gives an incentive to those same boys to commit’ similar offences, and not only them but cause the crowd of small white boys who congregate in certain parts of the city to become even more aggressive towards the colored people in their im- mediate localities, and espectal- ly to passersby. The most serious troubles in many parts of the South have been caused by the wantonness of white boys to- wards the colored people and the some thing would occur here very often ifit were not for the discreet action of our people.

The funeral services were held at the home Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock and was largely attended.

While the body was being lowered into its last resting place, the quartet sweetly sang "Safe in the arms of Jesus." The little mound was covered with handsome floral designs.

The Dress Bag. To protect good dresses make a soft muslin slip the length of the dress and 18 to 20 inches wide; at the top cut a hole, through which the hook of the hanger may pass, and bind it with tape. After the dress has been arranged on the hanger slip the muslin over it. Sea Baths in Winter. People who are fond of sea bathing in summer should know that in winter a most effective and yet simple substitute for sea water is a cup of rock salt dissolved in warm water and added to the bath. A warm salt bath of this kind is the most refreshing tonic for an exhausted body. But don't go out of doors after taking it. Just before going to bed is the right time. The Dressing Table. Simple little covers for the dressing table are made of the mercerized chambray that comes in such pretty shades of pink and blue, and they make an agreeable change from the white ones in such constant use. The cover is made just the size required, with the addition of four inches all round, which is turned up on the right side and hemmed down by the means of feather stitched done in heavy white mercerized cotton. The corners are mitered carefully, so as to be quite flat and are blindstitched down. When You Clean the Stove. The kitchen stove can be cleaned with newspapers; but when cleaning do it thoroughly. Many tops of stoves receive a daily polish and yet the sides are covered with dust and grease. Let the oven be thoroughly cleaned with a brush kept for that purpose, then nicely washed, and your bread and oak will have a purer flavor. Never leave dust or grease remains of former bakings on your oven floors. A newspaper will remove all of these; a wet cloth will complete the cleaning. In cleaning the cook stove, do not forget to keep the pipe clean within and without—an important point to bear in mind—New York Press. Vests and Stockings. 1. Old vests are useful for making children's petticoat-bodices, but they will require to be buttoned holed round the edge. 2. The small pieces can be made into bags to put in the medicine chest, to be filled with hot salt, camomile flowers, etc., in cases of illness; or for any of the purposes for which channel would be useful. 3. The best of the stocking legs can be tacked into the dress sleeves for the winter. 4. All the scraps of vests, blankets and the feet of stockings can be cut up small and they make the most beautifully soft cushions, superior even to feathers, says Woman's Life. Should the owner not require these articles, they would always form acceptable gifts at winter time to those poorer than ourselves. Recipes.

Itching, Bleeding Sores, Covered Body —Nothing Helped Her—Cuticuja Cures Her in Fire Days. "After my granddaughter of about seven years had been cured of the measles, she was attacked about a fortnight later by a furious itching and painful eruption all over her body, especially the upper part of it, forming watery and bleeding sores, especially under the arms, of considerable size. She suffered a great deal and for three weeks we nursed her every night, using all the remedies we could think of. Nothing would help. We tried the Cuticuja Remedies and after twenty-four hours we noted considerable improvement, and, after using only one complete set of the Cuticuja Remedies, in five consecutive days the little one, much to our joy, had been entirely cured, and has been well for a long time.

ATLANTA, GA r shape, fit better, SCIENCE Otto Schlick, the noted marine engineer of Hamburg, now proposes that a heavy wheel be mounted on a vertical axis, so as to prevent the rolling of the ship—acting on the principal of the gyroscope. A new alloy which serves electricians, as a substitute for platinum, consists of 16 1-2 ounces of silver, 4 1-2 pounds of nickel, one-half ounce of bisbuth, and fifty-three pennyweights of gold. The cost is about one thirtieth of that of platinum. The strength of a grindstone appears from recent tests to vary widely with the degree of its wetness or dryness, stones, that are dry showing tensile strengths of from 145 to 156 pounds per square inch, but after soaking over night breaking under stresses of 80 to 116 pounds per square inch. The protection of buildings from lighting, seems to call for a special branch of engineering. Mr. Alfred Hands, a British engineer, points out that safety cannot be had from any set rules, as each case must be studied separately, and its systems adapted to the complications of metal about the structure. The efficiency of the conductor depends almost entirely on the way it is applied. The composition matters little, and choice between copper and iron is chiefly a question of cost and durability. Mysterious poisonings that occur occasionally in farm stock have been traced to the development of prussic acid in folder plants. Dr. J. W. Leather, in India, has found that green jowari (Andropogum Sorghum), mast the Rangoun and certain other beans, and the tapioca plant contain glucosides that produce prussic acid when acted upon by a particular enzyme, and that this ferment becomes active only under rare conditions, when the ordinarily wholesome plants become suddenly poisonous. Young jowari that had proven fatal to cattle showed 1.25 grains of prussic acid to the pound of green folder. THE NUMBER OF THE STARS. One Estimate Puts It at Sixty-Four Millions. Some of the best authorities in astronomy—Simon Newcomb among them—declare that the number of the stars cannot be less than a hundred millions. These figures are almost beyond human comprehension, and yet the stars are believed to be sans, like ours, some larger than others, but all of them enormous globes of fire. According to an English astronomical magazine, "The Observatory," a well known writer on such subjects, Mr. Gore, has been making a fresh estimate, and is disposed to reduce the figures about one-third. To obtain his results, Mr. Gore made a number of counts on the photographic prints given in the late Dr. Roberts's volume of stellar photographs, and found that the average number of stars the square degree was 4137 in the Milky Way, 1782 near the Milky Way, and 408 in the zonal galactic regions. Combining these results with the estimated areas of galactic and non-galactic regions published by Professor E. C. Pickering (an American), he obtained as the grand total of visible stars the number 64,184,757. This is probably smaller than the actual total, as some of the fainter star images would probably be lost in the reproduction of Dr. Roberts's photographs. In its comments on Mr. Gore's computation, "The Observatory" says that clusters and nebulae were avoided in making the counts, so that Mr. Gore's total will have to be increased on this account. In another count the average richness of the irregular clusters came out as 5752 stars the square degree, but this is far below the average richness of the globular clusters, one of which, Omega Centauri, shows 25,000 stars the square degree. Ten-inch Snow Makes One of Water. The first man to whom it ever occurred to find out how much rain was represented by a given fall of snow was Alexander Brice, of Kirknewton, who in March, 1765, made a simple experiment, with the contents of a stone jug driven face downward into over six inches of snow. What he learned was that a greater or less degree of cold, or of wind, when the snow falls, and its "lying a longer or shorter time on the ground," will occasion a difference in the weight and in the quantity of water produced; "but if," he added. "I may trust to the above trials, which I endeavored to perform with care, snow, newly fallen, with a moderate gale of wind, freezing cold, will produce a quantity of water equal to one-tenth part of its bulk." So that a fall of snow of ten inches represents a rainfall of one inch—London Chronicle. When the Wire Tires. "Messages," said a telegraph operator, "always slide over the wires, better on Monday than on any other day. The wires, you see, have profited by their Sunday rest. "It is a fact that inanimate as well as animate things get tired and need a vacation occasionally. You know how true this is of razors, of automobiles or locomotives—and it is just as true of telegraph wires. "A wire," after its Sunday rest, gives a quicker, fuller and a more delicate transmission. It is like a plano that has just been, tuned."—Minneapolis Journal. - Resultant of Economic and Commercial Forces. DECLARATION OF FINLEY Light Thrown on Absorbing Question by President of the Southern in Banquet Speech at Greensboro, N. C. At the annual banquet of the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Club at Greensboro, N. C., Wednesday night, W. W. Finley, president of the Southern railway, responded to the toast, "North Carolina and Its Relations to the Railroad Problem." He said in part: "The interests of a railway, and of the people dependent on it for transportation, are so completely identical that I have no hesitation in saying that every legislative proposition that is inimical to the railroads will be found, on careful examination, to be equally inimical, in its ultimate effects, to the interests of the people of the territories served by them lines." Mr. Finley gave examples of the competition of producing localities, of markets, of carriers, and, of commodities, to show that railway charges are the outgrowth of economic laws and commercial conditions. "No rate," he said. "can ever, with proper consideration for the business of the country or of the carriers, be made independently of these economic interests—by legislation arbitrarily fixing the rate. In a broad sense, therefore, the management of a railroad is powerties to fix its rates. It must accept the rates that are the resultant of economic and commercial forces, which are as absolutely beyond the control of its managers as are the tides of the ocean. "That this is true, is further shown by the fact that many railroads have never been able to pay dividends on all of their capital stock, while others are unable to pay any dividends at all, and still others are not able to pay interest on their bonded in debtedness. If a railway could adjust its rates to its capitalization there would be no reason why any road should not earn dividends on its capitalization, and this forever abolishes receiverships and bankruptcy. Referring to the argument that rates are kept up in order to pay dividends on watered stock, and if these payments are not made earnings could go to improvements. Mr. Puley said that this was an entire misconception of the financial situation, and no greatly teared that an exaggerated idea of the earnings and wealth of the carriers was at the bottom of much of the exasperated public sentiment and hostile legislation. "The Southern railway, since its organization, twelve years ago," he said, "spent, or contracted to seep, and is in the act of spending more than $26,000,000 for additions to its facilities and for capitalized improvements. This means that on its present mileage it has spent, or thus has contracted to spend, within a fraction of fourteen thousand dollars per mile; whereas if every cent of its net earnings after the payment of interest and without paying one penny to surplus, had been expended for these purposes, it would have amounted to only about thirty-six hundred dollars per mile upon its present mileage. The fact is, that proper dividends should be paid in order to create the credit on which a carrier can provide itself, in the money market with the means to add to its facilities in those particulars which are essential not only to its own interest as a carrier, but to the interest of the public at large." ARMED WITH A RIFLE Louisiana Woman Held Sheriff and Four Deputies at Bay. Armed with a rifle and standing guard, over her dead husband's body, Mrs. L. C. Drew held a sheriff and four deputies at bay for over twenty hours at Water Valley, La. It is charged that Mrs. Drew shot her husband. When the sheriff's posse arrived to arrest the woman she opened fire and ran them off. She did not hit her besiegers, but they did not capture her until darkness had fallen and her ammunition was all used up. MOTHER AND CHILDREN BURN. Five Perish in Tenement House Fire at Passaic, N. J. A mother and four of her children perished in a tenement house fire at Passaic, N. J., Wednesday. Many women and children were taken down ladders by the fitemen, but the five victims, who occupied rooms on the third floor, are supposed to have been suffocated by smoke before they could escape from their rooms. TEDDY STILL TALKING. Has More to Say of Railroad Magnate Harriman—Likewise He Shies a A Washington special says: President Roosevelt discussed with a number of his callers Wednesday various features of the controversy between Mr. Harriman and himself growing out of the publication of the letters between them. He desired not to be quoted in the matter, however. To his friends the president made it plain that his version of Mr. Harriman's visit preceding the election of 1904, was that Mr. Harriman wanted assistance from the national republican committee to help Chairman Odell in the New York campaign towards whose expenses he (Harriman) had raised $100,000. The president promised to communicate with Cortelyou and Bliss, to see what could be done. He did in this case, he declared, just what he had done in other instances, where he had been appealed to help in state campaigns. To some of his visitors, the president referred to the statement made public Tuesday night by Alton B. Parker in Albany, in which he said that it has never been denied that $150,000 was turned over by the Equitable, Mutual and New York Life insurance Companies to Mr. Cortelyou's committee, and that congress has refused to make an investigation into the corporate contributions of 1904 or to pass a law prohibiting such contributions in the future. On this subject the president referred to a statement which he made on November 4, 1904, in which he said in part. "That contributions have been made to the republican committee as contributions have been made to the democrats, is not the question at issue. Mr. Parker's assertion is in effect that such contributions have been made for improper motives, either in consequence of threats or in consequence of improper promises, direct or indirect on the part of the recipients . . . but there is not one particle of truth in the statement," etc. Neither Mr. Parker nor his supporters, the president declared, have been able to traverse or question the statements made in that answer. The president said that to his own knowledge about a dozen contributions offered by corporations had been declined by Chairman Cortelyou, but that others had been accepted. A contribution by the American Tobacco Company, he said, had been returned. A prominent man had made a contribution of $20,000 to the republican campaign fund. Subsequently this man had made known his desire for an appointment in the diplomatic service in the event that the president was elected. As soon as his motives were understood the national committee returned his contribution. The president asserted to his callers that none of the corporations that contributed to the campaign fund in 1964 had come to him for lavers, either directly or indirectly. It was authoritatively declared at the White House Wednesday that the real reason for Mr. E. H. Harriman's interest in the election of the state ticket in New York in 1904 was that he wanted the position of senator now filled by Depew and that this was the reason why he was anxious to have him appointed ambassador to Paris. The inference from Mr. Harriman's attitude was that if Senator Depew could be induced to go to Paris that Governor Higgins was prepared to appoint Harriman to the vacancy. Secretary Loeb stated that there would not be any further announcement from the president bearing on the issue between him and Mr. Harriman. STRIKE OF BREWERS ENDS. Three-Year Contracts Are Signed and All is Serene Again. Contracts for three years were signed by the representatives of the various breweries at St. Louis, and the striking employees, and the strike was officially declared terminated The brewery proprietors insisted on the insertion of an arbitration clause in all contracts.

PROF. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON SPEAKS IN HIGHEST COMMENDATION. BOTH HE AND FORMER GOVERNOR W. J. NORTH WORTH QUOTING Plenty of motorists will be found to indorse the observation of the Washington Star that "Many pedestrians are exceedingly careless in the use of the streets and highways." A woman lawyer of Chicago says that if a man doesn't pay his bills for necessaries provided, his wife should do so. And yet, lamentes the New York World, people have called marriage a failure. This significant sentence appears in the New Haven Register: "The teachers call attention to the fact that New Haven is constantly losing its teachers, who are going elsewhere to take positions with increases in salaries." A Paris automobile man says he is working on a machine that will make sixty miles an hour with the greatest ease. But as long as they can kill us off at thirty, what's the use to extend the agony, asks the Atlantic Constitution. Finding that stone-breaking and oakum-picking were not profitable enough, the authorities of Borsham, England, decided to put able-bodied paupers to work at grinding corn in a mill. Next day not a pauper was left in the almshouse. The Detroit Free Press says the divorce courts deal chiefly with those who marry in, vice, drunkenness, crime and idleness. If this sort of talk doesn't stop, divorce will lose the better part of its dignity. The spreading of disease and the murder of children are the crimes that can be charged against dealers who sell germ-laden milk or who obtain money under false pretences by palming off milk as pasteurized that is not so in fact, observes the New York American. No measures too vigorous can be taken to end this sort of killing for profit. The New York Evening Mail notes that: "Railroad managers have been deploring the unfriendly attitude of the public since the rebating and stock jobbing exposures of recent years. Should they continue in their state of aggrieved surprise they may find their questions answered in the statistics which show that their management last year killed 9,703 and injured $6,008. The St. Louis Republic contends that inventive activity in the field of aerial navigation implies that St. Louis was wiser than she schemed when the international balloon races were captured for this city. Almost daily happenings in the new science indicate that it is advancing with strides little appreciated by the busy world on terra firma." Squire James H. Edleman of Henry county, Indiana, a justice of the peace these many years, has never allowed a case to come to trial before him. His specialties are peacemaking and matrimony. "He has performed the ceremony for couples at all hours," says a local admirer, "marrying them in their buggies or automobiles. Sometimes he has gone out in his bare feet, as he only requires their consent and then pronounces them husband and wife." Like the Sillyline books, the half of the White Mountain forests are already destroyed, remarks the New York Times. By their conservation of water power they hold the manufacturing destines of New England. Shall the Fifty-ninth Congress in its closing session refuse the purchase price of these reserves, and of the Southern Appalachian reservation, and lose for all time their stored-up wealth of energy? "During the last two years," says Dr. Wiley of the agricultural department's bureau of chemistry, "we have found that the olive oil imported was practically all pure. The fact that other oils are sold as olive oil under foreign labels in this country has caused considerable misapprehension on that subject. We have found that labels are imported from France and Italy and attached to packages of oil partly or entirely manufactured in the United States. We believe, however, that all of the oil imported into the United States as olive oil is pure." Secret of Picking a Safe Lock. "Milner James was the most artistic safe breaker in the business," said Lecoq the detective. "He is dead now. He opened in his time more than seven hundred safes without tools or gunpowder—solely by working out the combination with his fingers. "It took me a year," he once said, "to learn the trick of picking combinations. I studied all the locks there were, and I had three safes of different makes to practice on. The ear is the most important factor in my method, and it must be held tight against the safe door on a line with the tumblers. When the knob of the lock is turned slowly and one of the tumblers reaches the corresponding notch to the first number of the combination the tumbler will fall with a little click. Care must be taken not to displace this tumber. You keep on trying the knob back and forth gently till each of the tumblers drops. Then the door opens. Hardly one man in a thousand has an ear delicate enough for this work, and to be a success at it you've got to give up to tobacco and alcohol." —Louisville Cour- Thinking One's Self to Death. Thousands of persons actually think themselves to death every year by allowing their minds to dwell on morbid subjects. The idea that one has some incipient disease in one's system, the thought of financial ruin, that one is getting on in life without improving prospects—any of these or a thousand similar thoughts may carry a healthy man to a premature grave. A melancholy thought that fixes itself upon one's mind needs as much doctoring as physical disease. It needs to be eradicated from the mind or it will have just the same result as a neglected disease would have. Every melancholy thought, every morbid action and every nagging worry should be resisted to the utmost, and the patient should be protected by cheerful thoughts, of which there is a bountiful store in every one's possession. Bright companions are cheaper than drugs and plasters. The morbid condition of mind produces a morbid condition of body, and if the disease does happen to be in the system it receives every encouragement to develop. We need more mental therapy—Suggestions. Asthma. Those who have seen the struggles of a victim of asthma realize how bad the trouble is, yet it is very largely an affection of the nerves. In many cases the patient wants to exhale, and cannot finish before there is a spasmodic attempt to inhale. The effort to breathe out and breathe in meet in the middle, as it were, with the result that the patient can do neither, and simply struggles and gasps. A doctor conceived the idea of putting his hands, one on the back and the other on the front of the chest, and squeezing the air out to help the inspiration. When the lungs were deflated, inhalation was easy. After several manoeuvers of this sort the patient expressed relief from the straining and struggling—American Cultivator.

On Feb. 11, 1902, the Allan Jiner Huronian left Glasgow for St. John. New Bumswick, and had not since been heard of. A bottle has just been found on the shore at Castlerock, county Derby, containing the following message: "Huronian sinking fast; top heavy; one side under water Goodby, mother and sister, Charles McFall, greaser." The bottle had been very securely corked—so well, in fact, that the interior was not even damp, and the handwriting was distinctly legible. Although this method has been commonly adopted by practical jokers in the perpetration of hoaxes, there is every reason to believe that the message is perfectly genuine and that it forms the first glimmering of intelligence regarding the actual fate of the lost Inner, long since posted as "missing." *The Huronian was owned by the Allan Line Steamship Company, of Bothwell street, Glasgow. A fireman or greater of the name of M'Fall was on board.* At the beginning of February, 1902, terrific storms raged at sea, and the Huronian had to struggle in the teeth of a terrible gale in the Atlantic. The stress of the elements proved too much for the liner, stoutly and well built as she was. The Huronian vanished mysteriously and not a single trace of her was to be found after she had been reported overdue. Every effort was put forth to elicit tidings of the vessel, but nothing was ever learned as to her fate.—London Globe. Arranging a Mystery. A curious story of the late Marquis de Mores is going the rounds of the Paris press. In his youthful days the Marquis was a cavalry Lieutenant on an eastern frontier garrison, and one day while out at exercise with a party of mounted men they found themselves on German territory. Their attention was called to the fact by an inn on the roadside bearing the sign: "The King of Prussia." "A hundred frances to the man who brings me that sign," he said loud enough to be heard, and the party regained the French side of the frontier at a gallop. Next morning Lieut. de Mores found the sign reared up against the wall of his quarters, and taking a 100 franc note in one hand he walked slowly through the stables with the hand behind his back. Presently he felt a hand take the note, and a voice said quietly: "Thanks, Lieutenant." De Mores was careful not to look around or in any direction that could assist identification. Thus had any outey been raised the "rape of the sign" would have been a mystery.—London Globe. Cowboy Was a Woman. The sensational discovery has just been made that one of the most skillful young cow punchers in the Northwest is a woman. She wore male attire, close cropped hair, and her skin was tanned by the sun and wind till it looked like saddle leather. She had punched cows all the way from Texas to Montana without her sex being discovered. She went under the name of Jim Footner, but when her sex was accidentally discovered a few days ago while working in the Bellefourche region, she acknowledged that her real name is Hattle Wallace and that her parents formerly lived in the copper regions of northern Michigan. After the disclosure made here the girl left, saying that she would go where she was unknown and continue her life as a cowboy, which she dearly loved.—Bellefourche correspondence St. Paul Pioneer Press.
