DISAPPOINTMENT GREAT Seven Jurors Were for Conviction and Five for Acquittal—Salacious Rot Must Be Rehearsed A New York special says: Hopelessly divided—seven for a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree and five for acquittal on the ground of insanity—the jury which since January 23 has been trying Harry K. Thaw reported Friday afternoon after forty-seven hours and eight minutes of deliberation that it could not possibly agree. The twelve men were promptly discharged by Justice Fitzgerald, who declared that he, too-believed their task hopeless. Thaw was remanded to the Tombs without bail to await a second trial on the charge of having murdered Stanford White. When this new trial will take place no one connected with the case could express an opinion. District Attorney Jerome declared that there were many other persons accused of homicide awaiting trial and that Thaw would have to take his turn. As to a possible change of venue both the district attorney and counsel for Thaw declared they would make no such move. Thaw's attorneys will have a conference with the prisoner to decide upon their next step. They may make an early application for bail. Mr. Jerome said that he will strenuously oppose it. He added that as seven of the jurors had voted for "guilty," his opposition probably would be successful. In that event, Thaw has another long summer before him in the city prison, for his case on the already crowded criminal calendar cannot possibly be reached until fall. The scenes attending the announcement by the jury of its inability to agree were robbed of theatricalism by the general belief that after their long deliberation and the reports of a wide division of sentiment, the jurors could make no other report. —Mrs. George Carnegie and Edward and Josiah Thaw, the brothers, received the news in absolute silence. Thaw's wife gripped her husband's hands tightly as the jury foreman spoke, and then when he sank down by her side, she tried to cheer nim as best she could by saying that she believed he would now be admitted to bail, and that a second jury would surely set him free. The mother, the sisters and the brothers, pale and well-nigh exhausted by their tedious, nerve-racking wait for a verdict, smiled weakly at Thaw as he was led away again to the Tombs. They were permitted to speak with him for a few moments to bid him be of good cheer before he crossed the "bridge of sighs" to the cell, which until a few minutes before he had hoped he was about to quit forever. Outside the big square criminal courts building only a few hundred persons were gathered. Thousands had been there earlier in the day, but the police had instructions to keep every one moving, and this soon tired the idly curious. Thaw, when he had returned to the Tombs, gave out the following statement: "I believed that every man in the jury possessing average intelligence, excepting possibly Mr. Bolton, comprehended the weight of evidence and balanced it for acquittal. All of my family, bid me goodby with courage. I trust (D. V.) we may all keep well." TO DISFRANCHISE NEGROES Is 'Aim of Resolution to Amend Florida Constitution. The Florida senate Tuesday adopted a resolution to amend section 3, article 6, of the constitution of the state of Florida, by which the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments were adopted. The resolution, by a vote of 23 to 5, was passed. The resolution is aimed to get the constitutionality of the ratification of these amendments before the United States court and looks toward the disfranchisement of the negroes. John F. Stevens, who recently resigned as chief engineer of the Panama canal, arrived at New York Saturday on the steamer Panama from Colon. Mr. Stevens declined to talk about the work on the isthmus. It is his present plan to take a long rest, including a trip to Europe before again engaging in active business. Mr. Stevens said he was greatly flattered by the send-off given him by 3,000 canal employees when he left Colon. "I retired on the best of terms with my fellow employees," he said. When Mr. Stevens was informed that a story had been published to the effect that his resignation was due to a realization that the canal never would be completed, he replied: "That's nonsense. The canal will be completed just as sure as you are alive." Asked as to whether he thought the canal eventually would be of the sea level type, he replied: "Undoubtedly, in time." Mr. Stevens said he resigned for purely personal reasons. The report that the canal will never be built because there was no rock foundation for it, Mr. Stevens said: "It is all rot," adding: "The foundations on the isthmus are as good as in New York city." "Will you see the president in Washington?" he was asked. "If he wants to see me, he will know where to find me," said the chief engineer. "I have done my share of the work on the canal and I am willing that some one else should take a hand. "The people of the United States should get the idea out of their heads that the canal work is not progressing. It is going on splendidly." COMBINE FACES HEAVY FINE. Standard Oil Company Found Guilty on 1,463 Counts for Rebating. The Standard Oil Company of Indiana, which has been on trial for the past six weeks before Judge Landis, in the United States district court, at Chicago, on a charge of having received rebates from the Chicago and Alton railroad on shipments of oil from Whiting, Ind., to East St. Louis, Ill., was found guilty Saturday night on 1,463 counts out of the original 1,903 in the indictments. The remaining 440 counts were dropped from the indictment on account of errors. The oil company is liable to a fine of $29,260,000, as the Elkins law, which the indictment charges the company with having violated, provides a fine of $1,000 to $20,000 for each offense. Pending the decision on a motion for a new trial the court will not pass sentence on the company. ONLY SIXTEEN PASSED Out of 1,389 Applicants for Position of Pure Food Inspector.

Five of the number who are indicted are estimated to be worth together $100,000,000. A conference was held in the office of United States District Attorney Armbrecht Friday night, lasting until 1 o'clock Saturday morning after which a number of the secret service men left for various parts of the country to keep their eyes on those who are to be arrested. Three hours after the indictments were issued by the grand jury the parties were under arrest and were allowed to give bond. Francis K. Fitzpatrick, of Boston, pleaded guilty, and sentence will be passed the fourth Monday in May. Mr. Baldwin and Mr. Hyans, who were in New Orleans, immediately upon hearing of the indictments surrendered to an officer and appeared before United States Commissioner Chisorella. Both pleaded not guilty, waived examination and were released on $1,000 bonds to appear before the court at Mobile.. Mr. Baldwin, speaking of the lottery company, said for himself and Mr. Hyans: "We do, not own a share of stock in it and we do not know anything about this matter." David and Alfred Morrjs are at present residing in New York. FIGHT FOR BAIL IS NEXT. Thaw's Attorneys Will Seek to Have Him Released. A New York dispatch says: Setting at rest all rumors as to their present intentions, J. R. Peabody, associated with Delmas, chief counsel for Thaw, sald, after a forty-five minutes' conference with the prisoner, that an application for Thaw's release on ball would be made. On the other hand, District Attorney Jerome announced that he would make a strong fight against granting of ball and added that he intended to prosecute Thaw for murder in the first degree.

After being hissed in Tuesday's meeting of the Continental Congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution at Washington, Mrs. Donald McLean, the president-general of the society, at the night session, failed to secure the endorsement of her home state of New York for re-election. Despife expectations, a battle royal over a proposal to endorse her candidacy, the question was not brought before the meeting. Mrs. Charles H. Terry of Brooklyn was elected vice president general for New York state. Mrs. Terry is a supporter of Mrs. McLean. During a controversy in the morning session between Mrs. McLean and Mrs. M. E.-S. Davis, the treasurer general, when the latter asked for more time in which to submit her report, many of the delegates hissed Mrs. McLean when she remarked that the treasurer-general's report "seemed to be up in the air." The name of Mrs. Ellen Washington, it was announced by "insurgent leaders," probably will be presented as a candidate for president-general. The reports regarding financial investments of the society were brought out in the report of the treasurer general, Mrs. M. E. S. Davis, which was submitted Tuesday afternoon. The question as to the investment of a portion of the society's funds in railroad bonds has been a bone of contention among some of the delegates, it being openly charged by Mrs. Davis that the investments had been made in "insecure speculation." The report showed that the society has a total of $24,477 in Baltimore and Ohio and Union Pacific railroad bonds. Mrs. Davis stated that she was not consulted about the purchase of these bonds, and that she paid out checks for the investment on the recommendation of the finance committee. The report points out that if the bonds were sold now, this would be a loss of $502 as a result of the depreciation of the market value of bonds or a net loss to April 11 of $271. Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey of Washington stated that the bonds had been purchased by the finance committee only after it had sought the advice of the most reliable financial experts in New York city. The report was referred to the proper committee for consideration. ON THE TWENTY-FIFTH OF MAY Heroic Brenze Statue of Gordon Will Be Unvelled at Atlanta.

The robbery occurred just north of Zortman, as the stage was entering the Little Rockies, with a consignment of money to pay the wages of the miners at the Zortman mines. BY FRAUD LABELS Food and Drug Makers are Cheating the People. IS ASSERTION OF WILSON Secretary of Agriculture Declares Deception is Being Widely Practiced, and He Proposes to Expose the Guilty Parties. "If these outrageous misrepresentations do not cease, the department will publish a list bearing the names of manufacturers, who are indulging in this campaign of deception." This remark was uttered by Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture, in an authorized statement at Washington, and was brought forth by the fact that there had come to his knowledge information that a number of manufacturers of foods and drugs were freely advertising that the United States government was guaranteeing their products. The secretary said that the serial number and guarantee required, by the pure food and drug act, to be placed on food and drug products were being used by these manufacturers for this purpose. "The serial number," said Secretary Wilson, "is assigned to fix the responsibility, where it belongs—upon the manufacturers—and to protect innocent dealers, who have a right, under the law, to rely upon his guaranty. It is the guarantee of the manufacturer, not the guarantee of the government." The secretary declared that every effort would be made by the department to put a stop to these statements. "I will do a little advertising myself, "he said, "in behalf of the people. I am growing tired of seeing these untruthful statements on the advertising pages of the magazines, the walls of the New York subway, and the advertising space of street cars of the principal cities. Manufacturers who will deceive the public about the guaranty will lie about the quality of their product." He added that the law, was to be administered fairly, and that no honest manufacturer need fear that the department will take "snap judgment" on him, or harrass him in any way. CALLED DOWN BY CARNEGIE. Sharp Debate Entlens Session of the Peace Conference. At the peace meeting at Carnegie hall in New York Monday night Professor Hugo Munsterberge, who holds the chair of philosophy at Harvard university, called down upon his head the criticism of Andrew Carnegie by stating that conscription was not looked upon as a hardship in Germany. The professor made the statement to emphasize his point that universal peace should be looked upon not as a material but as a moral matter. Mr. Carnegie, in replying, called attention to the thousands of people who are said to have come to America to escape military service, and added that no one could make him believe that it was not this burden of conscription that caused by far the greatest part of German immigration. Mr. Carnegie said: "That statement was one of the greatest surprises that I have ever had. I wish he would go to our mills at Pittsburg and ask the thousands if men there why they come here. It is too late in the day for any professor to tell me that conscription is not a burden." Pennypacker Libel Law Ousted. The bill repealing the Grady-Salus libel act, which was advocated by Governor Pennypacker, and opposed by the entire press of the state, passed the Pennsylvania senate Tuesday without a dissenting vote. TEXAS SOLONS, REASSEMBLE. State Legislature Must Grind for Thirty Days Longer.

Latest Cold Snap Virtually Knocked Out the Crop in Georgia—Cotton and Corn Hard Hit. All the reports received by State Entomologist R. I. Smith indicate that the peach crop in Georgia is a total loss. He received reports Monday from James Cureton and T. M. Cato, of Austell, who state that all the fruit in that section is killed. Mr. Smith received a telephone message from Adalrsville, one of the largest peach-shipping points in North Georgia, to the effect that 80 per cent of the crop there was killed Sunday. It was stated that the fruit was practically all right until that time, but the severe frost and freeze which came then finished it. Mr. Smith is sending out letters to all the peach-growing sections of the state making inquirily as to the extent of damage done the crop, and expects to have definite information about the matter the latter part of the week. A. M. Kitchen, a well known peach-grower of Baldwin, Habersham county, stated that his county would scarcely turn out a single crate of peaches this year. * "There is not a crate' of peaches left on my place," he said, "and I am satisfied there is not in Habersham county. I am satisfied the loss in Habersham county alone this year will be $250,000. "Of course I know only what I have heard as to other sections of the state, but the indications all point to a general destruction of the peach crop by the recent severe and continued cold weather." J. A. Hall, of Calhoun, superintendent of public buildings and grounds of Georgia, who has peach interests in his section, says he is satisfied there is not a crate of peaches left in Gordon county. They have had practically winter weather for the past ten days or two weeks, he said, and it has seen impossible for them to survive it. The temperature recorded broke April records for more than twenty years. Cotton has been the heaviest sufferer. In consequence of the phenomenon early season, many fields in South Georgia had been planted for a sufficient length of time for the plants to be well above the ground, and these have been killed outright. Farmers are putting forth prodigious efforts to secure cotton seed for replanting, and are meeting with but partial success. They are paying 40 cents per bushel for seed, which they sold only a few months ago for just half that price. THAW TRIAL WAS COSTLY. Conservative Estimates Place Expense at $300,000. The total cost of the Thaw trial at New York has broken all records. The most conservative estimates place the expense of the trial at $300,000. Of this amount $200,000 will fall upon the Thaw family. The trial has also cost the people a large amount, and it is believed that the estimates of $300,000 will be exceeded. MANCHURIA IS EVACUATED.

BIG MOB IS DEFIED By Strike-Breakers in Montgomery Who Refused to Obey Orders et Strikers to Leave Town. With the announced Intention of driving E. C. Curry, the famous Chicago strike-breaker, out of Montgomery, Ala., three hundred striking street car men and their sympathizers made a demonstration in the down-town districts Monday night which requir ed several platoons of police to disperse. Curry and Joseph Peeples, a minor official of the company, were eating supper in a restaurant early in the evening when the place was surrounded by strikers who called to Curry that he had to leave Montgomery by 9 o'clock. When Curry and Peeples left the place the hostile crowd closed in on them crying "Scabs," "scabs," and using other epithets. Curry and Peeples with drawn pistols backed into a corner and defied the crowd, Curry saying that when he left Montgomery against his will it would "be in a pine box." Squads of police were rushed to the scene and sticks were freely used to disperse the mob. S.K. Fleming, deputy organizer of the street car union, reached the scene, and urging the men to follow, took them to the room of the police court where he addressed the assembly, counselling moderation in speech and action. Officers of the traction company declare that if names of the men who started the demonstration can be secured they will be prosecuted. Street cars are running on full schedules. FLOATING IN THE HARBOR. Body of Aged Georgian is Found at Baltimore. The body of Andrew J. Milstead of Atlanta, Ga., was found floating in the harbor at Baltimore Tuesday. Mr. Milstead, who was formerly a cotton manufacturer of Atlanta, disappeared from his hotel Monday. He had been in Baltimore about a month. He was over seventy-five years old and in feeble health. The police are investigating the case. DEATH GRIPS ECKLES Called By Reaper While Asleep. James H.

Tribune Building, NEW YORK CITY. Every farmer wants to know to a cent the value of what he buys and sells, and should not leave this to be figured by the party with whom he is dealing. As labor saving machinery has been invented to save time and physical strength, so there are devices to enable the mind to reach quickly and accurately results usually arrived at with much thought and tedious calculation. Time is worth much, but accuracy is still more important. much, but accuracy is still more important. Many books have been prepared to make the task of calculating easy, its results sure, but never one fitted to all men, in all kinds of business, at all times, so completely as "ROPP'S NEW COMMERCIAL CALCULATOR." This reliable assistant to the farmer and others has been in the market for many years, and nearly a million and a half copies have been sold. The last edition (160 pages) is from beginning to end filled with tables, short cuts, and up-to-date methods of calculating, making it the most complete, useful and comprehensive work of the kind ever published. It will make every one independent, sure and self-reliant in all practical calculations connected with farming and other lines of business. It will prevent mistakes, relieve the mind, save time, labor and loss. It is a pocket edition with pocket for papers and a loose silicate slate from which lead pencil marks are easily erased, and is an invaluable assistant for every farmer or business man. FOR THE FARMER AND STOCKMAN A set of blacksmith's tools 'saves may dollars on a farm, especially in busy seasons. A good forge may be made as follows: Four legs are 2x2 inches and 2½ feet long. Four boards (see No. 2 in cut) 12 inches wide and 2½ feet long are nailed firmly around the top of legs. A bottom is nailed to the under sides. Fig. 3 are two pieces 2x2 inch stuff 5 feet long and fastened to the under side of box 10 inches apart. Two pieces (4) are 1x3 inches and 3 feet long, the lower end bolted to 3, upper to 4. A pulley (6) is made of two thicknesses of boards, the edge being V-shaped for a rope to run the fan. The shaft to 6 is an old wringer shaft, 8 being the greg. A fan is shown at 7, 18 inches in diameter and 5 inches in width. The fan shaft is a round piece of hard wood 3 inches in diameter 10 inches long with 3½-inch round iron bearing in the ends. The 6 8 5 2 9 7 4 3 blocks for these to run in are screwed to 2. Cut 7 inches of the fan shaft to a square to fasten the fans to; the 3 inch that is left is to cut a V in for a small rope that goes in the V of 6. After the rope is put on and splice, it can be tightened by raising the top of 4 where 5 is attached. A piece of iron pipe 1 1/2 inches in diameter is shown at 9, which is 2 1/2 feet long, with two 3/4-inch holes drilled in the middle of the upper side. The end toward the fan is made a little bell-shaped. It is placed in the box through two holes the same size as the pipe. The box is filled solid with damp clay, leaving a basin shaped place in the centre, over the holes in the pipe, for the fire. Put a wood plug in the outer end of pipe. If any goals get in the pipe, take out the plug and blow out with the fan. In using, start the fan before putting the iron in the fire. Inside of fan should be smooth. Tin is nailed around the circle of the fan case. With this forge and an anvil many other tools can be made at home at a small cost.—Frank Guttenberg, Jr., in The Epitomist. The Great American Hen. Rightfully does the fowl deserve the name "The Great American Hen," for according to statistics the American hen yields more money annually than any other one farm product, eliminating the grains and cotton. With eggs as low as a cent apiece—a very cheap and nutritious food—a well bred hen laying 200 eggs a year as developed at the Maine station, will have a value of $5. An estimate is made that $1 a year will keep her in comfortable if not luxurious quarters. The trouble is that millions of barnyard scrubs do not yield 100 eggs a year. The farmer's hen is becoming a worthy companion to his cow. The annual production of eggs is now a score of billions, and, after supplying the needs of factories, tanneries, bakeries and other trades, they are becoming a substitute for high priced meat, besides entering more generally into the everyday food of the people. Some one has estimated that the industrious little gallus domesticus produces enough eggs to require a train of refrigerator cars 900 miles long filled with 43,000,000 crates each of which holds 360 eggs. If one wants to obtain eggs from his hens, it is necessary to have healthy, vigorous stock, properly fed. To do their best hens should be fed grain, animal and green food. They should be fed enough to keep them in good condition, but not overfat, and should be induced to take plenty of exercise. A good system to follow for winter feeding is mash once a day and grain scattered in the litter twice a day. The mash may be fed dry or slightly moistened. When the former, it is usually put into a trough or hopper hung, against the wall, and the fowls allowed to have access to it at all times. A mash fed at the Maine experiment station is as follows, in the proportion indicated: 200 ounces of wheat bran. 100 pounds cornmeal. 100 pounds wheat middlings. 100 pounds linseed meal. 100 pounds gluten meal. * 100 pounds beak scrap. Another mash may be mixed as follows, in the proportions indicated: 100 pounds corrugated. 100 pounds cornmeal. 100 pounds ground oats. 100 pounds wheat bran. Color of Eggs. The Department of Agriculture is often questioned as to the relative relation existing between the nutrition of eggs and the color of the shell. It seems that some cities show a pre- erence to white shelled eggs, while others insist only upon having those with brown shells. English dealers who import their egg stock from France go so far as to dip all white shelled eggs in a weak coffee solution in order to satisfy the demand in London and other English cities for brown shelled eggs. A recent bulletin issued by the Department of Agriculture states: "There is no constant relation between the color of the shell and the composition of the egg, although there is a popular belief in some localities that the dark shelled eggs are 'richer.' That there are no differences in the physical properties and chemical composition between brown shelled and white shelled eggs was shown by investigations carried on at the California and Michigan experiment stations, this work having been summarized in earlier publications of the department. "The color of the shell has, however, an effect upon the market value, the brown shelled eggs bringing the higher price, for instance, in the Boston market, and the white shelled eggs in the New York market. In New England the preference is decidedly in favor of the tinted eggs. "One great advantage which all breeders producing tinted eggs possess is that they are generally better winter layers than the varieties producing white shelled eggs, this being perhaps due to the fact that they are usually very good sitters and mothers, and so obtain agrest during the spring and summer months." Keeping a few Bees. When keeping a few hives I have found, during late years, the following methods most successful: . . . There is no better place to keep one or more swarms of bees than in the attic of a house or loft of a barn or other outbuilding. I am keeping a few swarms in the loft of a barn in the centre of our city. I would recommend this method on a farm of in town. Other things being equal, a location in a house or loft of other building, where heat from below will keep it dry and warm during coldest weather is best. My own bees are benefited by the fire kept during the coldest weather in the stable below. In such a location bees are less liable to be disturbed, and in their flight to and from their hives they are well above ground, where they might cause annoyance. I find also that when operating the hives to take surplus honey, and for all methods of manipulation such a location has many advantages. The bees also winter much better than when kept in more exposed locations. While I am an enthusiast it is all that pertains to the mystery of the hives and honey bees, and find in them one of my chief forms of recreation, I feel that a correct system for the production of strictly wholesome milk is a matter of most supreme importance. Let the land flow with milk and honey—L. C. Root, Fairfield County., Conn., in The Cultivator. Farm $ ^{0} $ Notes. A little sulphur in the salt will tend to drive the ticks from the stock. A farm home is best of all homes; but farm life without home life is dismal indeed. The lambs that are found to be ticky must be dipped if you would keep them in health. Do not let sheep eat the pastures too closely, but when drouth comes assist with fodder, corn, etc. All the money is made from the good cows; are you keeping the poor ones for their company? Some men not stingy with money grudge time spent on themselves or their family. Yet time is money. Pay for everything in dollars and cents. The jingle of the departing hard-earned cash makes one pause and consider, but a store account is often taken up in a careless manner. A feeder asks if one shot for each steer is enough. I should prefer two or three when steers are on full feed. When you have plenty of hogs there is nothing wasted, and you can clean out the bunks once a day. Don't throw the manure out of the side of the stable and allow it to lay there until spring, every snow and rain washing out the most valuable part of it. Bed all stock freely, and get every forkful of manure out on the fields as soon as possible. The man who breeds his farm animals without any definite object in view will never do much in improving his stock. Every year should bring a marked improvement, and every young animal raised on the farm should bear the breeder's stamp. Hustle is a good quality. But it is not enough in itself. Some men, who seem always up to something new, and who do everything upon the run, never seem to accomplish much. If one must choose, judgment is better than enterprise and persistence is better than haste.—American Cultivator At a meeting of the Twentieth Century Club in Boston recently, according to the Boston Transcript, Nathaniel C. Fowler, Jr., spoke on billboard advertising in a large part as follows: I am uncompromisingly opposed to billboard advertising for the following established reasons: First, billboard and other forms of outdoor advertising constitute a second or third grade of profitable publicity. By many prominent and successful advertisers they are classed as illegitimate methods of advertising. Comparatively few advertisers, consider them of more than secondary value; ninety per cent. of the better class of advertisers refuse to use them at all. The fundamental basis of all good advertising, whether it be of national or local character, is vested in the newspaper and periodical of the regular issue. All other methods are worth comparatively little, unless used in conjunction with newspaper or periodical advertising. The economy of business, as well as that of every other estate, separates things into the proper and the improper. Successful advertisers, as a rule—those who have studied advertising values—divide advertising into, the primary classes: First, the legitimate, which includes advertising space in the newspaper or other periodical; and secondly, other forms of advertising, which include the billboard and other more or less questionable advertising schemes. Something for nothing isn't business, and is worth what is paid for it. The advertisement which the reader pays for the privilege of seeing is worth a dozen times more than the advertisement thrust upon him. From the readers' standpoint the hillboard advertisement is something for nothing and commands the respect of nobody. The public acknowledges the newspaper's right to carry advertising. It knows that without advertising neither the newspaper nor the magazine could remain self-supporting. It does not object to newspaper or periodical advertising; in fact, it favors it, because this class of advertising has an educational and other intrinsic value. Frequently the advertising pages of the great newspaper and magazine contains more real and valuable information, and show more intelligent expenditure of brain-power, than can be found in the average literary page. Secondly, billboard and other forms of outdoor advertising descrive nature, injure the scenery and outrage the rights of the public. Without leave or license these flaming advertisements are forced upon us at the sacrifice of decency and of ordinary fair play. The question naturally arises, why do advertisers use the billboard and other illegitimate forms of advertising unless they have a business-bringing value? There are two answers to the question. First, all forms of advertising have some value, and the billboard may be profitable, although it is not and cannot be, as good as first-class newspaper and periodical advertising. Then the lower class of advertisers are forced to use questionable methods of publicity. The low class and fraudulent advertiser is obliged to confine his advertising to billboards, to religious newspapers, and to other mediums which do not discriminate. It has been said that sixty per cent. of advertising is wasted. Whether or not this be true, seventy-five per cent. of our advertisers are not impervious to flattery. They like to see themselves in print, and especially in billboard and outdoor sign solicitors are strenuous trade-getters. They besiege the advertiser by day and by night. They employ artists of the boldest school, and they present the advertiser with a sketch which will please him, whether or not it is acceptable to the public and has real business value. The advertiser, and especially the distributor of low-grade goods, is impressed with bold designs, with heroic pictures of himself. This billboard sketch impresses him immensely because it is immens. It looks its size, and the advertiser, in his ignorance, does not realize that a space of a few inches in great mediums like the Youth's-Companion and representative newspapers, is worth a thousand times more than the biggest billboard. For personal reasons, for reasons built upon self-concept, the advertiser becomes the easy prey of the billboard solicitor. He uses billboards, partly because it pays him to do so, and because billboard advertising is down to his level and fatters him. Now, what are we going to do about it? The billboard is a nuisance, and will continue to be, until the greatest power on earth—public opinion—does something about it, whether or not it talks about it. The kind of reform some of us have, and I am not excepting present company, is cold storage reform, the kind that isn't warm enough to run. Talking against billboards will not remove them. The lazy method of passing resolutions will avail nothing. The cold-blooded advertiser, and he is, as a rule, the billboard advertiser, laughs at reformers and takes no stock in the Twentieth Century Club or in any other club which makes a specialty of more or less intellectuality. The intelligent man is in the minority; the masses constitute the majority; the masses read the advertisements and buy the goods. The advertiser, like most business men, has no other god above business. You cannot touch his heart unless you can locate it. However, you can discover the whereabouts of his pocketbook. Touch that and he squirms. The only way to get rid of objectionable advertising is to create public sentiment and considerable individual action on the part of the public; not by passing resolutions, not by signing petitions, but by going out into the open and refusing to purchase goods made by the advertiser who outrages nature and decency, and who does as he pleases because we let him do so. It is not up to the advertiser, it is up to us. RABITY OF HYDROPHOBIA. Stories of Dog Bites and Their Effects Oftimes Untrue. At a discussion on the subject at a meeting of the clinical society of the New York Post-Graduate Medical School, Dr. F. B. St. John Rossa presided, and said that the medical profession should take action upon the vered question of hydrophobia. He had large experience with dogs, and had seen them with symptoms which were pronounced by the books as hydrophobia, and the dogs had recovered, and people who were bliten by them showed no signs of hydrophobia. Dr. W. A. Hammond said all stories about persons being bitten by mad dogs and having the disease years after are untrue. He had seen several cases of hydrophobia from fear. The dog should be kept until the symptoms of rabies appeared, and not killed at once, as is usually done—it will die in nine days if it has the disease. Bites through clothing are harmless. Dr. Hammond had no confidence in Pasteur's methods. He did not believe that hydrophobia could be caused by inoculation any more than lockjaw. In the four cases from Newark, N. J., which Pasteur treated, there is no proof that the dog was mad that bit them. The same dog also bit four other dogs and two children, and they are all free from the symptoms of the disease. Dr. A. H. Smith said that he had seen three cases said to be hydrophobia, but he did not believe they were genuine. He claimed that persons bitten by dogs could bring on a disease which could kill simply by the effect of the imagination, without any virus being in the body. All scares that come up periodically from the supposed appearance of hydrophobia are without foundation. A hydrophobia caused by fear was what Dr. T. E. Satterthwaite believed in. Out of the 9000 cases of sickness at the Pennsylvania Hospital there was only one case of hydrophobia, and the post mortem in this case did not show the evidence of the disease. The spinal cord of this patient is now shown in lectures as a healthy cord. One doctor said that the man died of alcoholic poisoning. Dr. Rossa said that all unite in saying that hydrophobia is rare. Hydrophobia is yet to be made up from the beginning. He hunted down one case of hydrophobia and found it to be caries of the spine. He didn't believe in muzzling dogs, and ridiculed the idea of preventing the disease in this manner.—Our Day, Chicago. Botanizing C The fondness of cats for catnip is well known, but it seems, from a recent experience in the Arnold Arboretum, in Boston, that cats have other favorite plants, and more than that, are pretty good botanical investigators for their own purposes. A few plants of a new vine from China were set out in the greenhouse. Presently it was found that some animal was eating their tender shoots. The depredator turned out to be the house cat. This was, perhaps, regarded as only a temporary aberration of that particular cat's appetite, for in the spring 100 small vines of the same plant were set out in a cold frame. But the cats of the neighborhood flocked there and destroyed the entire bed, eating the plants clean to the ground. It has become necessary to protect the vines by wire netting against the inroads of cats. An interesting question is, How did these American cats find out that this Chinese plant was good to eat? And how was the news of the presence of this new delicacy so rapidly spread through pussydom?—Youth's Companion. President McKinley's Motto. In a lecture, by Frederick Warde, an actor, he said that five years ago he was in Washington, filling an engagement, and went to pay his respects to the President, who asked him almost immediately if he was playing "Henry VIII." Warde replied that he was not. "I'm sorry," said the President. "It is my favorite. I have taken my motto from that play. It is those words addressed by Cardinal Wolscy to Cromwell: 'Let all the ends thou almost at be thy country's, thy God's and truth's.'" Warde said he completed the quotation: " 'Then, if thou tallest, thou tallest a blessed martyr.'" "Precisely," returned the President. "That was the last time. Warde said, that he saw the President. "And has not Wolsey's prediction been fulfilled in McKinley's case?" asked the lecturer. Keynote of London. I think London, is all beautiful. Its greatest charm to me is that it is a city of a myrlad homes. I revel in its unending streets of houses. They all spell humanity, and that is the great keynote of London.—Miss Eva Mylott, in Australian Star. American Regard For Women. Toward women the American man's attitude is fine. She is neither his diety nor his doll. He simply treats her with deference. His chivalry has as little to do with saccharine utterances, scraping feet and bonded knees as has his patriotism with hysterical shriekings and the waving of ensanguined flags.—Lippincott's. tomers of both sexes. I had held my breath on certain occasions to hear these parties all imperturbably stand and bark at each other (since that affected me, inveterately, as the nearest image for their intercourse); and would have given worlds to be able to make out, in the spirit of the historian, which, in the bright morning of our national life, could possibly have begun it. One of them must Women's Many Jobs. Women in Great Britain are well represented, in the professions and trades, and about 4,500,000 earn their own living. There are 124,000 who teach; 10,000 are bookbinders; over 3000 are printers, and nearly 500 act as editors and compilers; 1200 are engaged in photography; civil service clerks number nearly 2300; 3800 are engaged in medical work and nursing, and 350 women are blacksmiths.—Pittsburg Dispatch. Motoring Nursemaid. A motorist's wife recently advertised for a nursemaid, which brought forth a young person who, having the necessary recommendations, was engaged, says a London newspaper. After informing her of the various duties the mistress said: "You will be required to take the children out in the car now and then." "Very well, ma'am," was the reply; "I have my own motor costume." "And do you know?" said the lady, "on one of the first drives she volunteered to relieve my driver at the wheel." English Brides Demand Karats. A man who was buying a wedding ring unconciously imparted the information that the bride was an English woman. "Then this ring will never suit her," said the clerk. "It is a good ring, but it is eighteen karat. Nothing less than a twenty-two karat wedding ring will satisfy an English woman. "The eighteen karat ring is the usual wedding ring in this country, but in England and France, and indeed in most European countries, the bride would refuse at the very altar a man who offered to marry her with any other than a twenty-two karat ring."—New York Sun. The New Hats Are "Queer." "There is only one way in which the new hats may be described," says that final authority on fashions, Harper's Bazar, "and that is 'queer!' Everyone is complaining of them, and every one is trying her best to find one, even though she does not like it, which will be pussyly becoming! The attraction of the queer is, however, always sure to win a certain number. You see, the hair is worn so heavily massed about the head this season! There are so many puffs and curls in addition to the ordinary head that the new hats, to be really becoming, must be fitted to the head of each individual, and even be shaped for each one! Almost all the milliners this season have to be prepared to make the hat itself for each client." The Little Woman's Clothes. Just back from Paris, the tiny mite of a woman was airing her views on clothes. "The American dressmaker takes too little account of height, but lays all the stress on weight," she said. "Her clients are apt to be divided into two classes—stout and slender. The slender little woman of five feet gets about the same treatment at her hands as the slender young Amazon of five feet seven or eight. "A maline bow at the back of the neck is a wonderful improver to little persons—it adds height marvelously. "Then there is the shoulder. Feel of my shoulder scam. It corresponds exactly with my shoulder line, but let it be a fraction of an inch too long and I am no longer petite, but a dwarf." "Heavy, coarse materials are only for the tall. Fine, smooth surfaces are for us. And there is this about the skirt. Fulness should begin at the hip, not below it—otherwise, the skirt becomes a mere flounce instead of a thing of lines. Between the waistline and the hips the skirt should be perfectly fitted. "The hat for the small-person is more becoming if it matches the uppermost part of the costume. If the bodice is a flat the hat should be of the same complexion. In the case of a very small woman, waist and skirt of different tone or colors are not to be thought of. Even the gloves do their part in making or marring the picture. White ones with dark gowns dwarf the height, and so, too, do capes and other fussy shoulder arrangements. Trimmed skirts and braided effects are also ruled out."—New York Globe. The Manners of American Women. in Harper's Bazar Mr. Henry James begins his much-advertised series of paper, "The Manners of American Women." The following extract shows that Mr. James is approaching his delicate topic with a startling courage and candor: "I have often wondered, say, if the address of so many of the shops had originally come after or come before the address of so many of their cus- tomers of both sexes. I had held my breath on certain occasions to hear these parties all imperturbably stand and bark at each other (since that affected me, inveterately, as the nearest image for their intercourse); and would have given worlds to be able to make out, in the spirit of the historian, which, in the bright morning of our national life, could possibly have begun it. One of them must, the hearer could but helplessly suppose; a consensus, a coincidence more precipitate and instinctive was too difficult to imagine. No, one of them had to be responsible for the other, since what social order with any self-respect would consent to be responsible for both? There were times when I inclined on certain showings, to lay the burden on the shop people, but then again, as sun-dry accents from the other side of the counter smote my car, who would be so bold?" Pretty Faces. Nowadays the actress who possesses a pretty face can boast of an asset of considerable monetary value to her, quite apart from the good fortune it may bring in the shape of a wealthy or titled husband. Years ago it was considered a handsome proposal on the part of the photographer if he offered to take photos of an actress free of charge, present her with as many copies as she desired, and took his chance whether he made any profit on the transaction by selling a few of the pictures to newspapers and periodicals for reproduction at a certain copyright fee. But the popular actress would laugh at the photographer who would make such a proposal to her to-day. She is quite willing to be photographed free of charge, but is certainly not content with gratis copies of the picture. She insists on a royalty on every one reproduced in a paper or sold to the public in the form of a picture post card. And when one considers that hundreds of thousands of post cards bearing the portraits of popular actresses are sold every year, and that every time one of their photos appears in a magazine or newspaper a fee for right of reproduction, averaging about half a guinea, it will at once be seen that the demands of actresses in regard to this matter are by no means unreasonable. Instead of paying a royalty on each picture, however, the majority of photographers enter into a contract to pay popular actresses a fixed sum each year for the sole right to take and sell their photos. These contracts often cover a period of several years, and to some actresses their photographs are worth £200 a year. A certain young actress, who is not at all well known at present, receives sixty gulneas a year from a firm of photographers, and it is not at all unusual for a pretty actress to double her income by this means. Apart from the income thus derived, however, an actress who enters into such a contract with a photographer is securing a splendid advertisement. "The man behind the camera" naturally "pushes" her photograph in every direction in order to make profit, and the result is that her picture is continually before the public—either being displayed in the picture post card shop or being reproduced in various papers. —Tit-Bits. FRILLS OR FASHION Night caps are becoming fashionable in London. The vogue of the shoulder strap goes on without curtailment. The black and white gauzes can often be matched with black and white striped silks for little coats. Striped gauzes come in materials of so many prices that all pocket-books can be suited in them. The woman who can use her crochet hook can turn but very effective trimmings for blouses and gowns. Velvet suits must walk on the shady side of the street, for the sunshine does such treacherous things. Lace coats bound and strapped with broad linen bands appear in large numbers in the wardrobe of the 1907 girl. One of the nattiest innovations is the little colored taffeta, bridge coat with a skirt of white and black striped gauze. Not a few attractive evening gowns with decollet necks are seen afternoons with guipimes of lace, not or embroidered lawn. So long as there is a fancy little coat in the fashionable wardrobe, new and novel coat combinations are going to continue to manifest themselves. If the trimming braid around the bottom of the skirt is omitted where the pleats fold in, the pleats will press into shape better and the effect is just as decorative. The reason given for the popularity of the batiste embroideries for trimming the washable silk and cotton trocks is its laundering possibilities, which are so rare in lace. < The Savannah Tribune PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO 116 W.

Lyons of Georgia, the National Committeeman of that State. Mr. Lyons is not saying much but he is doing a great deal of thinking and the colored people throughout this country are waiting to hear from him. He always makes the proper political prediction and it is quite evident that his opinion will be asked by his people at the proper time, Mr. Lyons in the McKinley campaign, was the head and front of the Negro politicians in this country and today his opinion is asked for more than any other colored Republican in the United States. He is the only colored National Committeeman the colored Republicans have and it is believed that he will give the proper advice at the proper time.—Washington Bee. Don't Betray Your Friends Ingratitude is no doubt the very worst thing that a person can commit. It is almost a crime, and the greatest punishment for such an offence is your conscience. That is, you become conscience stricken. Yet we see friends betrayed daily. We see the benefactors of persons cast aside and new friends come to the front. We have never known it to fail. Retribution makes its appearance and then the victim sees his mistake and blunder. We should never forget those who once helped us. A wrong can never prosper, no matter how successful for a time you may be. If you have a friend stick to him. The grateful man or woman will always come to you in the hour of need. Always keep in mind what has been done for you and how you have succeeded in life by the aid of those who could help you! If you do you will never betray your friends.—Bee. College Dots. The event of last week was the monthly rhetorical under the direction of Prof. Lemon. Freedom and Progress, a short original drama was presented by the Freshmen class.

In fact all the parts were well presented. The College quartette entertained the audience between the acts. The pieces were well selected and rendered to the delight of the spectators. The Collegians welcome home Miss Lillian Wright who has spent the winter in Macon Miss Lillian will remain home until commencement exercises are concluded; then she will return to Macon where she will resume her work in, connection with the State Fair.

Among the Masons With Masons the ballot is as sacred as well as secret. In carrying out its functions personal and any other kind of feeling should be forgotten and only the candidate's fitness for membership should be acted upon. Worldly honors and wealth are not regarded by Masons unless backed up by the internal qualification that makes the man. Therefore there should be no outward display in masonry. Shawy pins and regallas count for naught unless the principles of the order are implanted in the heart, The Grand Secretary has already received the returns and fees from several of the Lodges, and is compelled to commend the several Secretaries for the neatness of them and correctness thereof. If the others are likewise, it would prove quite a boon. Three Lodges have for- warded returns without the fees. In each case the reports were returned to be accompanied by the fees. The Grand Secretary will not under any circumstances accept any return unless the fees are also forwarded. Lodges must not fail to send in returns and fees to the Grand Secretary by May 1st. Grand Master Butler will be able to report the formation of many new lodges in prosperous localities at the coming grand communication. Let the good work continue. Past Master R. D. Parker of Vidalia, spent two days in the city this week. Bro. Parker is an old Mason and believes in the original principles of the Order. He is a constant attendant at the Grand Lodge, and keeps up with the affairs of Masonry in general. Past Master S. S. Mincey of Ailey, was in the city last Sunday. Bro. Mincey is a power for good in his community. Receitably he has been engaged in K. of P. work, and in setting up two ladies'. Courts his popularity was proven by the very substantial presents that he received. Worshipful Master J. L Mitchell of the Lodge at Belfast died in the city Sunday last. His remains were prepared by the Royalty Undertaking Company and shipped to his late home on Monday. The many friends of Bro. Mitchell's family extend sympathy. Masonry teaches that we are all equal, not in talent, not in toil, not in care, but in love and position and in responsibility and reward according to our several abilities—equals as children of the same family are equal. To one is given five talents to another two talents, to another one talent. If we have five talents, we must gain another five also; and if we have but one talent we are required to gain only one other talent. To each shall come a full reward if we are faithful. Brother, are you improving your talent? Charity and integrity are a Mason's brightest jewel. Let us elevate the standard of Masonry. To-morrow will be the annual Thanksgiving Day of the O. E. S. Each Chapter in the State will have public exercises, either in their halls or at some Church. On this occasion the great good that the Rite has done especially in this State will be exploited. It is the duty of each member of the several Chapters throughout the State to be present at the exercises. Second Baptist Church. The revival services are still going on here. Tomorrow will be a great day. Several conversions and several additions up to this time. The meeting is growing in interest each night. Pastor May baptized several candidates Sunday at morning service. There will be baptism again at the close of the meeting. Since Rev. Cole, who was assisting Dr. May, is necessarily called away, Pastor May will be assisted by Rev. P. J. Jackson, D. D., of Kansas City, Mo. Rev. Jackson is a revivalist with few equals. He has been assisting Rev. W. G. Johnson at Macon, Ga., several weeks but will close there and reach Savannah the first of the week to assist the pastor through the entire meeting. The sick list is much smaller with one funeral attended by the pastor this week. The rally cards are being distributed rapidly and it is hoped that every card will be reported full the first Sunday in June, the appointed rally day. Any member or members who haven't as yet received a card for soliciting purposes can get one by applying to the pastor or church clerk. Pastor May will preach at both hours tomorrow, morning subject, "Christ the model preacher"; evening subject, "The Faith that saves." Every body is invited to attend these services, also the services of the following week Sunday evening services through the rest of the spring and summer will begin at 8:30 instead of S. There will be a grand roll call of the members the first Sunday in June at 4:30 p. m. It is hoped that every member will answer in person or by another member, if unable to be present. This is to accommodate the pastor who is in hopes to give the first annual report of his work in Savannah, in pamphlet form. Let every member answer to this call please. St. Phillip's Dots. Rev. R.

But ah, my friends the time will come When it will be too late, For death will snatch your soul away To meet its awful fate. And yet men will go heedlessly on And will not stop to think; That they are standing as it is were Upon damnation's brink.

NEW YORK, SAVANNAH, ATLANTA, AND ORLEANS Household Matters I would like to suggest through your paper to the thousands who are obliged to remain in town during the hot weather—especially to those caring for the sick—my plan for cooling the sick room. I place a pad made of a folded piece of old blanket, on the stone ledge of the window (which the sun keeps very hot), and keep it wet all day. The rapid evaporation keeps the stone perfectly cold, and the air passing over it is perceptibly cooled, and gives'much relief to the invalid.—A Nurse. Facts About Eggs. A good egg will sink in water. Stale eggs are glassy and smooth of shell. A fresh egg has a lime-like surface to its shell. The boiled eggs which adhere to the shell are freshly laid. Eggs packed in bran for a long time smell and taste nasty. Thin shells are caused by a lack of gravel, etc., among the hens laying eggs. After an egg has been laid a day or more the shell comes off easily when boiled. If an egg is clean and golden in appearance when held to the light it is good; if too dark or spotted, it is bad. "Western New York Washing Fluid." A friend, giving no name, sends the following in answer to E. F. M.'s query in regard to washing greasy overalls: "Take one pound of common washing soda (sal soda) and one-half pound of fresh, unslacked lime (slacked lime will not do): pour over it five gallons of water. Set on the stove and stir until thoroughly dissolved; set off and let settle, and bottle the clear solution; or use fars or jugs, labeling and corking, and set out of the reach of children or careless persons. This is a splendid lye, and will remove dirt or grease. Use one scant teacupful to a boiler of water; bring to a boil with half a cake of laundry soap cut up in it. The greasy clothes must first be wrung out of water in which they have been put to soak for a short time, then washed in this boilerful of water. This solution is a great labor saver, and will make washing almost a pleasure." If this could be used with a washing machine, much time and strength might be saved—The Commoner. To Remedy Damp Walls. The following simple process is laid to effectually do away with all dampness of walls. Applications are made alternately of dissolved castle soap and dissolved alum. Three-fourths of a pound of soap is melted in one gallon of boiling water. The liquid thus obtained is thoroughly beaten to cause a stiff froth. This and the water are then completely incorporated by stirring and made boiling hot. The time for preparing the wall should be after a long dry spell, and as the wall must be as free from moisture as possible this condition can be assisted by the judicious use of fires. Then brush the surface to be covered until as clean as possible. With a wide flat brush coat the surface with the boiling soap preparation, working it back and forth until the wall is covered with small bubbles. Let it remain twenty-four hours to dry out, then apply an alum solution made by dissolving half a pound of alum in four gallons of water. The alum coating may be nearly at blood heat. This should stand a day or two to dry and harden; then another application of soap, the same as the first, must be put on. How many coats are needed depends on the condition of the wall; sometimes half a dozen would be necessary, says Woman's Life. The soap and alum form a coating insoluble in water, and this unites with the material in the wall, filling all of the crevices and making a thoroughly waterproof surface.—New York Telegram. FOR THE EPICURE Oatmeal Muffins-One cup cooked oatmeal, one-half teaspoonful salt; one and one-half cups flour, one-half cup milk, three teaspoonfuls baking powder, one egg, two tablespoonfuls sugar and one tablespoonful melted butter. Grandmothers' Seed Cakes—Usse half a cupful of butter, two of sugar, four tablespoonfuls of milk, two tablespoonfuls of caraway seeds, and about two cupfuls of flour or enough to roll out, adding to every cupful of flour a scant teaspoonful of baking powder.

Mix all together, bind with half a cup, or less, of thick white sauce made with milk, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Make into croquettes, egg and crumb them, and fry in hot, deep fat. A woman was trying to lift a big blot of ink from a letter with a piece of blotting paper, with the usual result of making the blot bigger and uglier than it was at first. "Let me show you how to do that," said her friend. "I learned the trick in a stationer's shop in London last year. You just moisten the corner of the blotter first, to get it started, and then apply it to the ink spot. There! isn't it wonderful how clean it takes it all up!" -New York Sun. GAS FAVORITE SUICIDE ROUTE. The Pistol Is a Close Second—According to the Annual Report. Asphyxiation by gas is still the favorite method of suicide in Manhattan. Thero were, according to the report of the coroners of New York County, 398 suicides in 1906, and of these 121 by gas. However, the pistol route followed the gas method in a close second. There were 110 who died by shooting. Here is the remainder of the list, as the coroners present it, showing how the people of Manhattan end their lives when they decide to "schuffle off this mortal cell": Cutting throat and stabbing; 21; poison; 51; hanging; 27; jumping from window or roof; 27; jumping in front of moving trains, 4, and drowning. 34. The total number of deaths which are classified by the coroners as homicide was 59. That does not, however, mean that there have been that many murders in the Borough of Manhattan within that time, for the number held by the coroners to appear before the grand jury was 90. Two-thirds of these were for shooting, stabbing and other forms of violence. There were also in this list no less than sixteen cases where the victims had been run over by wagons, trolley cars or trains. There were, however, more than sixteen persons killed by being run over last year. There were, in fact, no less than 253 persons charged with causing the death of others by running over them. More deaths were caused in this way than My any other during the past year. For there were only sixty-four cases of homicide by shooting, thirty-three by stabbing and forty-two by other forms of violence. Elevators alone killed forty, while only one man was kicked to death by a horse in the whole of the Borough of Manhattan. The total number of deaths due to natural causes that were reported to the office because they were known as sudden deaths was 2,700 and of the causes, diseases of the respiratory organs, including consumption and pneumonia, led. The total number of all kinds of deaths reported to the office within the year was 5,390. The Belmont and the Pennsylvania tunnels have been prolific harvests of deaths, according to the report. In the former, there were twenty, while in the latter there were forty-five. Calisson disease—"the bends"—carried off nineteen of the total—New York THE BALANCE OF POWER.

Philipotts has made us familiar with romantic Devonshire, in his fascinating novels, "The River," "Children of the Mist," etc. The characters are very human; the people there drink coffee with the same results as elsewhere. A writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill, Dideford, North Devon, states: "For 20 years I drank coffee for breakfast and dinner but some 5 years ago I found that it was producing indigestion and heart-burn, and was making me restless at night. These symptoms were followed by brain fag and a sluggish mental condition. "When I realized this, I made up my mind that to quit drinking coffee and, having read of Postum, I concluded to try it. I had it carefully made, according to directions, and found to my agreeable surprise at the end of a week, that I no longer suffered from either indigestion, heartburn, or brain fag, and that I could drink it at night and secure restful and refreshing sleep. "Since that time we have entirely discontinued the use of the old kind of coffee, growing fonder and fonder of Postum as time goes on. My digestive organs certainly do their work much better now than before, a result due to Postum Food Coffee, I am satisfied. "As a table beverage we find (for all the members of my family use it) that when properly made it is most refreshing and agreeable, of delicious flavour and aroma. Vigilance is, however, necessary to secure this, for unless the servants are watched they are likely to neglect the thorough boiling which it must have in order to extract the goodness from the cereal."

SCIENCE Darwin asserted that there is insanity among animals just as there is among people. An artificial cataract to be nearly forty feet higher than Niagara Falls is to be constructed near Geneva, Switzerland, at a cost of $12,000,000, to supply Paris with electric power and light. Chemical fertilizers are valuable alds at times and for special crops, but should never be depended on for maintaining the fertility of the soil. Green manure and animal ordure are the alds prescribed by nature. One of the most mysterious things in nature is the tormost bud of a vine or a tree. It draws sap from the earth in defiance of the law of gravitation, and then pushes both sap and a new receptable for it up into the sunny air. A German oculist says that constant use of the magnifying glass is an excellent protection against myopia. He bases this statement on the fact that out of seventy-five watchmakers examined by him scarcely five percent of the number were short sighted. Artificial eggs are now produced in France. A French chemist has produced a plausible imitation which is liable to deceive anybody but an expert. The shell is made with a blowpipe by a combination of lime and bismuth. The white is made with sulphur, carbon and beef fat and the yolk with beef blood and magnesia colored with chrome yellow. A new application of the motor cycle to military service has been invented in Austria. It concerns the quick laying of telephone and telegraph wires. In front of the cycle is installed a cylindrical roll or reel upon which the wire is wound, and a man sitting in the moving car lays the wire, by means of a long pole, either in the tops of the trees, or, if there are none, in ditches or gutters. With the new apparatus three miles of wire may be laid in twelve minutes. The new "calcium steel" which has been attracting attention for various ceramic industries, is a mixture of feldspar, sand and lime. It is compact and very hard, resists oxidation and acids and is a poor conductor of heat and electricity. It can be filed, hored, chiseled and polished like metal, and enameled, painted on or otherwise decorated like glass and porcelain. The mixture can be pressed into moulds and then strongly, heated, or it can be melted and poured into moulds like metal. The material is white, but it can be colored as desired, and it is specially adapted for water and gas pipes. TUCSON THE OLDEST CITY. Documentary Evidence That It Was Founded Before St. Augustine. After considerable research Dr. Alexander Craig, a Methodist preacher of Newton, N. J., who has passed most of his active life as pastor and presiding elder within the bounds of the Newark Conference, has definitely ascertained that Tucson, Ariz., enjoys the distinction of being the oldest city in the United States. This is not according to the text books on geography, which generally credit St. Augustine, Fla., with being the oldest; but Dr. Craig, who spends his winters in Tucson says: "When the Spanish, Melendez, discovered the coast of Florida, planted the standard of his country and founded the city of St. Augustine, in 1565. Tucson was a growing pueblo, and had been for thirteen years. I obtained much of my information regarding the origin and growth of both towns from the Roman Catholic bishop in Tucson. "In the Cohurch of San Kavia, in in Tucson, there has been found a stained and time-worn document of vellum, signed by their Catholic Majesties Ferdinand and Isabella and counter signed by the Viceroy of Mexico and General Coronado, who in the early part of 1552 raised the flag of Spain over the little Indian village of Tucson and laid the corner stone of the first mission there with his own hands. This important document the Bishop has forwarded to the Library of Washington. D. D., for safe keeping."—New York Press. Huge Block of Granite Drawn by sixteen horses, which were barely more than enough to keep its great weight in motion, the granite base of the Morton monument, which is being erected at the east entrance of the State House, was moved from the freight yards to the site of the monument this afternoon. The granite block was one of the heaviest weights that has ever been hauled over Indianapolis streets. The work of unloading the base required all the morning. The block was adjusted on a low truck at the side of the freight car and the horses were hitched to it. Whips cracked and sparks flew from the paving blocks as the horses strained every muscle to start the truck with its enormous burden. The granite came from New Hampshire and weights thirty-two tons.—Indianapolis News. "Shall I give you gas, sir?" said the English dentist to his patient from the country. "No, no," was the answer.

The federal agricultural department is preparing to issue a bulletin which illustrates, in startling fashion, the actual money value of good roads to the farmer and the people generally, as well as the financial losses they are now indirectly sustaining from poorly maintained thoroughfares. The bulletin gets to the very meet of the proposition by showing, as the result of careful investigation, the average cost of transporting agricultural products from the farms to shipping points—an expense that inevitably falls upon the farmer and lessens his profits. It is estimated that the average load of cotton is 1702 pounds, the distance of the haul 11.5 miles and the cost of hauling sixteen cents per hundred pounds. The bulletin then sums up the cost of transporting the leading American farm products in actual money and the no less tangible investment of time, as follows: "The total tonnage of farm products hauled on country roads in the United States is not known, but of twelve leading products it is estimated that nearly 50,000,000 tons were hauled from farms during the crop year 1905-6, at a cost of about $85,000,000, or more than five per cent, of their value at local markets. Of this traffic, 40,000,000 tons represent the weight of corn, wheat and cotton, and the cost of hauling these three products was $20,000,000. "The number of working days taken to haul twelve loading crops from farms to shipping points during the crop year 1905-6 is estimated at 21,417,500, and the number of loads taken as 30,319,000." The department makes very sensible suggestions in the following terms: "The distance limit of profitable farming for a given crop may often be extended by improving methods and means of hauling. Better wagons and horses may be used, roads may be improved and better facilities may be had for receiving the products at local markets and shipping points. Improvements of this kind tend to lessen the expense of hauling a load, and thus make it profitable for farmers to haul from greater distances." While these estimates are based on general averages, it is fair to assume that they furnish reasonably accurate material for calculations looking to the introduction of more economical methods. There can, therefore, be little doubt that if the roads of the South and other portions of the country were improved to a degree of even ten per cent, the cost of hauling products to shipping points would be perceptibly reduced. Less time, moreover, would be required to make the designated haul—another factor which can by no means be ignored in the final summing up. Fewer men and fewer horses or mules would be called into requisition, or taken away from other tasks. The farmer would find his profits sensibly increased, and the opportunities for the extension of his work greatly multiplied. These are only a few of the arguments in favor of a systematic campaign. There are the equally undeniable ones of the enhancement in property values, and the furtherance of the social and educational facilities of the respective communities. Evidences are not lacking that the sentiment in every Southern State is rousing to an appreciation of the fact that money spent in this direction is productive of sure and substantial dividends. — Dirmingham Age-Herald. Treasury Surplus For Roads. A unique good roads bill has been introduced in Congress by Representative John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi. Its object is to distribute the surplus in the Treasury of the United States to the several States and Territories for the sole purpose of improving the roads therein. The bill provides in effect that it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury at the end of each fiscal year to take an account of all the funds in the Treasury and after deducting from said sums the amounts required by law to be kept in the Treasury, the remainder, if any, shall be declared a surplus. The Secretary of the Treasury must then immediately provide for the distribution of this surplus, not exceeding $25,000,000 annually during the continuance of the proposed law, on a per capita basis to the States and Territories, to be computed from the last general census, and shall prorate the same accordingly, for the sore purpose of improving the postal roads in said States and Territories, under such rules and regulations as the States and Territories may provide.—The Automobile.

SIMMONS, 1119 E. 8th MST., Kansas City, Mo., member of the National Annuity Association, writes: My health was excellent, until about a year ago, when I had a painful cut from overdoing socially, and getting the proper rest, and too many late supps. My stomach was in a dreadful condition, and my nerves all unstrung. "I was advised by a friend to try Peruna, and eventually I bought a bottle. I took it and then another, and kept using it for the rest of my life." "At the end of that time my health was restored, my nerves no longer troubled me, and I felt myself once more and able to assume my social position. I certainly, feel that Peruna is deserving of praise." There are many reasons why society breaks up, my life and the nervous systems fail, why they have systemic or polycatarrh. Indeed, they are especially liable to these ailments. No wonder they require the protection of Peruna. It is their shield and safeguard. Some men never attain wisdom until too old to draw any benefits there from.

Frank Doremus, veteran, of Roosevelt Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., says: "I had' been showing symptoms of kidney trouble from the time I was mustered out of the army, but in all my life I never suffered as in 1897. Headaches, dizziness and sleeplessness, first, and then dropsy. I was weak and helpless, A. B. having run down from 180 to 125 pounds, I was having terrible pain in the kidneys, and the secretions passed almost involuntarily. My left leg swelled until it was 34 inches around, and the doctor tapped it night and morning until I could no longer stand it, and then he advised amputation. I refused, and began using Doan's Kidney Pills. The swelling subsided gradually, the urine became natural and all my pains and aches disappeared.

To Be Given in Atlanta Will Be Notable Event in Its Line. All preparations have been made for one of the most notable events musically ever given in the south—the May-June music festival, which will be given in Atlanta May 29, 30, 31 and June 1. Dr. J. Lewis Browne, the director, has signed all the artists and he has already begun rehearsals of his chorus of 200. In addition to this chorus, there will be a chorus of 400 school children. Three of the singers engaged are from the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. They are Madame Schumann-Helnkel, the mezzo-soprano; Campanari, the barytone, and Bessie Abbott. Miss Abbott has never before appeared in Atlanta. She was one of Conreld's leading sopranos during the past season. She is a southern girl, being a granddaughter of Andrew Pickens, former governor of South Carolina, and ambassador to Russia. There will be eleven artists in all, including a tenor, a barytone, one or two contraaltos and sopranos and a violin and 'cello soloist. Dr. Browne will have twenty-six musicians from the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, in addition to as many more local musicians. The festival will be given at popular prices. Seats for the four performances to hear grand opera stars will sell at $3, $4 and $5, or 750, $1 and $1.25 a performance.

P CO. ess, because different line goes to the liver, ns. So that is why dui Our hearty thanks ought to be given to certain scientists and other great men for revealing the fact that most foods which we like are really dangerous to human life. The simple fact of eating harmless things from day to day becomes so monotonous for awhile that half the charm is gone. When we are told, however, that all oysters contain more or less typhoid germs, that milk is infected with tubercle-bacilli; that all meat and fish are afflicted with ptomaines and that florce, migratory or nomadic germs are wandering from vegetable to vegetable, then the process of absorbing food becomes a genuine sport, enlivened at every turn by the prospect of being cut open for appendicitis, or having our stomachs removed and renovated by, willing experts while we wait. All of us being gamblers by nature, it becomes truly a pitiable condition when there is no longer any harm in anything. One-half the pleasure of indulging in what we know to be dangerous is the thought of what it may lead to. Is there anything better, for example, than hot mince plait containing, as it does, practically everything that is not fit to eat, so many complications for the future are bound up in it that our pleasure is sure to be enhanced in proportion to the varieties of danger it represents. There is pleasure in the act of eating it alone, quite enough, to make it worth while. When we add to this the thought of the suffering that may come, the joy of the act rises at once to moral grandeur. It is just such sacrifices as this that show the differences between man, the thinking being, and the brute beast. A dog foolishly and instinctively avoids the things that are not good for him. A professor of Greek cats clam chowder, lobster Newburg and ice cream because his intellect demands it, and his stomach craves big game. Time was when we fought big game in the jungle. Now we do it in lunch counters.—From Life. Wholesome Fruit. It would seem like a paradox to say that fruit both warms and cools the body, but such is actually the case. In summer its acids temper and equalize the heat, and in winter its sugars warm. Sugar and acid, in fact, are so equally balanced in this food formed in the great laboratory of nature that neither preponderates unduly or to the detriment of the other. We may take the testimony of the birds as to the healthfulness of fruit. The Arabs form a good example of a nation that, to a very large extent, lives on fruit. Who can be more brave than the Arab, or who possesses more dash and elan? "Give an Englishman his beef and cheese," says a writer. By all means, we say, but let him and the Americans, too, combine with them good, wholesome fruit. As we have frequently pointed out in these columns, the employment of fruit as an article of diet is invaluable, and, we are happy to say, that its consumption in the United States is constantly increasing, and our California fruit is the finest in the world. The statue of William III, which, it is stated, the Kaiser contemplates presenting to London, is not likely to have so cheekered a career as the equestrian enigy of the Prince of Orange which has literally withstood the storm of centuries on College Green, Dublin. The Dublin statue has had many an escape from destruction. On one occasion a fervent patriot was found astride the steed calmly cutting off the head with a saw. Later still, in the last century, the statue was blown up with gunpowder. On that occasion the late Mr. Ralph Bernal Osborne (so the story goes) sent an urgent message to Sir Philip Crampton, a leading Dublin surgeon, to attend "a titled gentleman" who had been thrown from his horse in College Green and badly hurt. During a strike of police in Dublin the effigy was crowned with a battered tin can, which remained on the head for some days.—Pall Mall Gazette. A Big Force.

Was Concerted Prayer of the Host of Delegates—Carnegie Given Cross of Legion of Honor by Republic of France. The first convention of the National Arbitration and Peace Congress came to an end at New York Wednesday night, after a three days' session, with two large banquets, one at the Hotel Astor and the other at the Waldorf-Astoria. The event of greatest interest was the decoration of Andrew Carnegie with the cross of the Legion of Honor by the French government, represented by Baron D'Estournelles De Constant, in appreciation of his work for peace, and his gift of the palace at The Hague. The baron announced in his address at the Waldorf-Astoria banquet that the cross of commodore of the Legion of Honor had been conferred by the French government on Andrew Carnegie, and then proceeded to the banquet at Hotel Astor, where the decoration was formally presented to Mr. Carnegie. Peace among all peoples, a peace that would be lasting, if not, indeed eternal—that was the ideal raised aloft, to be followed by all nations, by the speakers at the dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria, arranged to close the deliberations of the peace congress. The American flag hung from the wall at the head of the dining apartment, and around it were suspended the flags of the other nations with here and there banners bearing the coats of arms of the countries that will take part in The Hague conference, and that have taken an active part through their citizenship in the present congress. The floral decorations on the tables were roses and carnations. After a reception in the Astor hotel gallery, the six hundred guests, who included both men and women, passed into the banquet room. As the company entered the hall, Kremer's "old Netherlands hymn of thanks" was sung by the choral members of the Ruhenstein Club. The singers, all young women, stood in the upper balcony and while singing they waved the flags of all nations. Then while the guests were seating, the choirs rendered "the peace festival hymn." Spectators occupied the boxes in the balconies, and by the time the speaking began, every convenience for listening to the addresses had been taken. Former Mayor Seth Low of New York, the presiding officer at the dinner, was attended by those who had been requested to speak. A feature of the dinner was the demarcation of the various tables by countries and states to represent the aspiration of all nations sitting in harmony. The national costumes of some of the foreign delegates were strongly contrasted with the usual coloring found in the American dress, suggesting the international meaning of the occasion. The brilliant gold brocaded coats of two educational delegates from India, as well as their gold-striped trousers, contrasted with the dress of the delegates from China, and seemed to emphasize the rich coloring of the banquet room. ALABAMA DOCTORS MEET. Dr. Senn Paid Glorious Tribute to the Triumph of Medicine.

Charged with manslaughter for their alleged carelessness in allowing the negro Charles Strauss to be lynched, Deputy Sheriffs J. E. Keegun and J. J. Salmon were arrested Wednesday at Marksville, La., and placed under $700 bond each. Strauss was hanged in the woods near Eola, La., where a crowd of masked men met the deputies as the latter were escorting the negro to jail. PEN GUARD KILLS CONVICT. Three Men Attempted to Escape and One is Laid Low. In an attempt to escape from the state penitentiary at Raleigh, N. C., Wednesday by three young convicts, one of them C. L. Scruggs, was killed by the guard. Jack Williams and Dodd Wilson were recaptured. The men were from Guilford county, and were serving sentences of five years each for larceny and forgery. PARSON BIFFS ROCKY. New Pastor of Oil Magnate's Church in Gotham, Just from Liverpool, Eng., to Show No Partiality. The Rev. C. F. Aked, who comes from Liverpool, England, to accept a call from the Fifth Avenue Baptist church in New York city, arrived Wednesday on the steamer Carmania. Mr. Aked said the only comment he cared to make on his mission to this county was that he felt he had delayed his coming to America ten years too long. The Fifth Avenue is Rockefeller's church. When a newspaper clipping in which he was alluded to as "Rockefeller's new pastor" was shown to Mr. Aked by a reporter, he said: "I know nothing of Mr. Rockefeller. It is not fair. I can't talk about him. I think it is very hard to keep calling that church 'Rockefeller's church.' Why, he is not a member. It is a powerful and influential church without Mr. Rockefeller. He is a seat holder and belongs to a Church in Cleveland." Mr. Aked was informed that Mr. Rockefeller, Jr., was connected with the Fifth Avenue church. He replied: "Yes, I know young Mr. Rockefeller is a member of the church, a trustee and a leader of the Bible class." Mr. 'Aked said that his Liverpool congregation was probably the most cosmopolitan in the world, but he added no distinction would be made at the Fifth Avenue church, "The poor stranger will be welcome just as heartily as the richest man or woman in the congregation." "My message is 'A Ministry of Reconciliation.'" He was asked whether he intended doing active work in the suppression of gambling houses in New Yerk as he had in Liverpool. He said: "It will take me a little time to learn the existing condition in this city. I shall feel my way at first. I think my fighting days are over. The things I have been fighting against in Liverpool are not here." THOUSAND DOLLARS REWARD Will Be Paid for Missing Boy and No Questions Asked. Letters are being sent out by William Spencer, of 2148 Germantown avenue, Philadelphia, Pa., enclosing a postal card containing a photograph of Horace N. Marvin, Jr., the four-year-old boy who disappeared from his father's home near Dover, Del., on March 4th last. The card gives a description of the boy and states that a reward of $1,000 will be paid by Mr. Spencer for the delivery of the little one to him. It is stated in the card: "I sacredly promise any one delivering this boy to me that my lips shall be sealed and silent forever and I will never give the slightest clue that might lead to their arrest. I will pay the cash without asking any questions whatever." The card gives with the photograph of the boy a careful description of him, and states that Mr. Spencer will send any number of the postals to any one who is destrous of assisting in finding the child. FOR MURDER OF SISTER Boy and Two Girls Must Answer. Mother Also Implicated. Affidavits were filed in court at Dayton, Ohio, Wednesday, charging Mrs. Leah C. Gilman, mother; Collins, brother, and Fayne and Bessie, sisters, with murdering Dona Gilman, whose body was found on a commons near her home November 20 last. The grand jury recently ignored the case against the Gilmans. CRAZY FATHER KILLS BABE. Dodson Also Made Desperate Effort to Kill His Wife. At Gadsden, Ala., Wednesday afternoon, O. P. Dodson, a telegraph operator, shot and mortally wounded his three-year-old son, while in a demented condition, and at the same time tried to kill his wife, shooting at her twice, but missing her. SOLD CROP FOR TEN DOLLARS. Georgia Peach Grower Shows What He Thinks of Prospects. James Tate of Elbert county, Georgia, who owns an orchard of 10,000 peach trees in that county, has sold the entire crop of this year to a banker of Elberton for $10 cash. This is indicative of what Mr. Tate thinks has been done to the fruit by the cold weather. He does not think a crate of good peaches will be secured from his entire orchard. The money has passed, it is stated, and the transaction is a bona fide one. CASE RESTS WITH ROOSEVELT. Matter of Proceeding Against Harriman Up to President. President Roosevelt proposes to take into his own hands the determination as to whether an attempt shall be made to break up the Harriman railroad combination or not, and has come to the conclusion that it is his duty to study the case from beginning to end.

Quartermaster General West Retired. At his own request, Gen. Andrew J. West of Atlanta has been placed on the retired list as quartermaster general of Georgia. This retirement gives him the right to participate on all public occasions in full uniform if he should desire. The record of this officer has been brilliant, faithful and of long duration. He has been in the service of the state thirty-six years, and has held the position of quartermaster general under six different governors, and has never received a dollar for his services. Sumter County Convicts. Sumter County convicts. The prison commission will await the action of the county commissioners of Sumter county in the matter of the local convict camp before giving the situation any official consideration. The questions which the Sumter county authorities are said to be investigating are alleged cruel treatment of misdemeanor convicts, and the frequent escapes which have been reported. The state prison commission has authority to summon the entire board of county commissioners (t) answer to the charges, but will not do so, it is stated, if the investigation and action taken by that board proves satisfactory. The Georgia roster commission is up against rather a difficult proposition in the matter of the muster rolls of some fifty or sixty Georgia commands which took part in the civil war. The war department, or the records bureau of that department, having defeated Georgia's efforts to get congressional consent for the making of copies of these rolls, now wants, the state to deposit with it $11,000 to pay for the work which is then to be done by its employees. It is unnecessary to say that such a demand is preposterous and out of the question. --- Many Were Disappointed. Forty-nine applicants for license to practice pharmacy in this state failed to pass the state pharmacy board in session at Atlanta the past week. Eighty men and two women faced the board, and of this number only thirty-three passed, the remaining forty-nine tasting the bitterness of disappointment. There were nineteen given apothecaries' and fourteen druggists' licenses. The two lady applicants passed with flying colors, Miss Nellie Dill as an apothecarian, and Miss Mary Burton as a druggist. Bundrick Anxious to Hang. George W Bundrick, the escaped murderer sentenced to hang for the killing of John Schroeder, in Dooly county, in 1902, and who gave himself up to the authorities in California a few days ago, will be returned to the scene of his crime. According to advices from Los Angeles, where Bundrick is in jail, he broods constantly The Ladies' Concert Band—Miss L. A. Campbell, Conductor. The Apollo Orchestra (String)—Mr. John A.

Sheriff Sheppard will not go for the prisoner, but has wired the California officers to bring Bundrick to Cordele and get the reward of $300. Roswell Remains in Cobb County. Under a state supreme court decision rendered a few days ago, the town of Roswell will remain in Cobb county, although the citizens of that town, under the act of August 7, 1906, voted to go into Milton county. The supreme court, in sustaining an injunction which was granted by Judge Gober, bases its action principally upon the act of 1854 creating Milton county, in which act it is clearly set forth that Roswell is in Cobb county and a part of the boundary line between the two counties. It is held, in effect, that no part of the town is in Milton county, and that therefore the election held under the act of 1906 is null and void. ```markdown ``` Negro Must Pay Penalty. Will Johnson, colored, must hang for his assault on Mrs. Richard Hembree at Battle Hill, near Atlanta, on August 15, 1906. The supreme court has affirmed Judge Roan in denying Johnson a new trial. The higher court held that "the alleged newly discovered evidence was not of such a character as required the grant of a new trial." After Johnson's trial, conviction and passing of the death sentence, an attempt was made to prove an albi. However, conflicting evidence developed in this respect—in fact so much that the albi theory was largely discredited. Evidently the supreme court did not find the new evidence of sufficient merit to warrant a new trial. Inspector's Report Adopted. In so far as the railroad commission is concerned, the Georgia railroad case is closed on the Bowdre Phlinizy petition. The commission unanimously adopted the report of Inspector Jackson. "I can add nothing to my report," said Mr. Jackson. "The inspection was made carefully and conscientiously, and is absolutely my opinion. The road is in as good condition as I indicate, and the management is apparently doing all it can to improve the defects." Commissioner O. B. Stevens, who accompanied Mr. Jackson on the inspection trip, holds practically the same views as contained in the expert's report. Colonel Stevens thinks the Georgia road is the third best in the state in its general condition. He places the Western and Atlantic first, the West Point second and the Georgia third. 0 Bartow Not "Dry" County. Indictments and convictions in Bartow county against Randolph Rose, W. F. Baker and R. M. Rose Company, of Atlanta, for selling whiskey in Cartersville, were knocked out a few days ago by a decision of the appellate court at Atlanta. The whiskey men were indicted by the Bartow grand jury for violations of the prohibited laws in shipping Miss C. Alexander. Professor M. Peterson. Mr. A. D. Thurman. Mrs. A. D. Thurman Mrs. E.

When the cases reached the appellate court the reversal came on the ground that Bartow county has no "prohibition" law, but simply a law that permits the sale under a license granted by the proper authorities. In other words the only law operative in Bartow is high license, which is a form of regulation and not a complete prohibition. The appellate court holds that the indictments were invalid and the convictions contrary to law Growing Crops Hard Hit. Growing crops in middle and south Georgia, market gardens all over the state and the fruit crop in some sections, have been badly injured by the cold and frost of the past few days, according to Agricultural Commissioner Hudson. Colonel Hudson estimates the damage to cotton in south Georgia at nearly 50 per cent. Of the cotton that is up he believes not less than 25 per cent is killed and that 25 per cent not yet up will not mature, or if it does that the plant will die soon after coming out of the ground. "A larger per cent of cotton is planted in south Georgia than I ever saw this early," said Colonel Hudson. "The warm weather of March induced the early planting, and now treat harm has been done. About 50 per cent of the crop down there has been planted. "Market and kitchen gardens have been killed out; corn nipped and put back, but that will not seriously harm it, as the plant will put out again; oats and other grain is hurt; cantaloupes and watermelons have all been killed, and replanting will be necessary. "It is difficult to state how seriously the fruit crop has been damaged. The high winds have beaten the limbs about until a great deal of the fruit will fall off. I am afraid the peach crop will be very short in Georgia this year." LET TEDDY NAME BRYAN Is Rejoinder of Hendricks Club to Proposition of Graves. The Hendricks Club, the largest Democratic organization in Indiana, adopted the following resolution and telegraphed same to John Temple Graves, of Atlanta: "The Hendricks Club, of Evansville, Ind., believes that, in the interest of 'a square deal,' Roosevelt should nominate Bryan for president in 1905, as there is now no doubt that Bryan was beaten in 1896 by the contribution of money from insurance companies, railroad companies and tariff protected monopolies." American Silk Manufacturing Company Purchases Plants. A silk mill merger with a capital of $22,500,000, was announced at York, Pa., Friday. The merger thus far includes the York and Monarch mills, in York, and mills at Carlisle, Fleetwood, Kutztown and Reynoldsville, Pa.

Government is Barring Immigrants Unjustly from the State. Unjustly from the State. Signor Ferruccio Zerbiniati, an Italian who has been promoting the immigration of his countrymen to the Mississippi delta, states that he has sustained a loss of over $3,000 within the past few months on account of the unjust action of his government in trying to prevent immigration to the state. Zerbiniati declares that the authorities in Italy insist on slandering Mississippi in spite of evidence he has furnished showing that Italian immigrants are happy, contented and prosperous.
