The Savannah Tribune. VOL. XXII. LABOR UNIONS HIT In This Swing of the "Big Stick" By Roosevelt. DETRACTORS ANSWERED He Reiterates That Moyer and Haywood Are "Undesirable Citizens," Even if They Are Innocent of Steunenberg Murder. In, a letter addressed to Honore Jackson of Chicago, chairman of the Cook, County Moyer-Haywood conference, made public Tuesday President Roosevelt replied to the criticism of his recent letter, in which he referred to Moyer and Haywood, officials of the Western Federation of Miners, charged with implication in the murder of former Governor Steunenberg of Idaho as "undesirable citizens." The president says he regrets any body of men should so far forget their duty to their country as to, by formation of societies and in other ways, endeavor to influence justice, or coerce court or jury; that they, not he, are trying to influence justice and he condemns what he calls their flagrant impropriety in the matter. He says that he indicated no opinion as to their guilt of the Steunenberg murder, but that it was a simple absurdity to suppose that because a man is on trial he is free from criticism as to his manner of life. He said he might as well be accused of trying to influence the suits against Harriman, some of whose friends had also criticized him. He said that both Moyer and Haywood stand as representatives of those who habitually appear as guilty of incitement to or apology for bloodshed and violence. He added that he was profoundly indifferent to the condemnation of him for his criticisms of the undesirable types of citizens, regardless of the power of either labor or capital. The letter in part is as follows: "April 22, 1907.—Dear Sir: I have received your letter of the 19th inst., in which you enclose the draft of the formal letter which is to follow. I have been notified that several delegations bearing similar requests are on the way hither. In the letter you, on behalf of the Cook County Moyer-Haywood Conference, protest against certain language I used in a recent letter which you assert to be designed to influence the course of justice in the case of the trial for murder of Messrs. Moyer and Haywood. I entirely agree with you that it is improper to endeavor to influence the course of justice, whether by threats or in any similar manner. For this reason I have regretted most deeply the action of such organizations as your own in undertaking to accomplish this very result in the very case of which you speak. For instance, your letter is headed "Cook County Moyer-Haywood-Pettibone Conference" with the headlines 'Death cannot, will not and shall not claim our brothers.' This shows that you and your associates are not demanding a fair trial, or working for a fair trial, but are announcing in advance that the verdict shall only be one way, and that you will not tolerate any other verdict. Such action is flagrant in its impropriety, and I join heartily in condemning it. "But it is a simple absurdity to suppose that because any man is on trial for a given offense he is, therefore, to be freed from all criticisms upon his general conduct and manner of life, in my letter, to which you object, I referred to a certain prominent financier, Harriman, on the one hand, and to Messrs. Moyer, Haywood and Debs on the other, as being equally undesirable citizens. It is as foolish to assert that this was designed to influence the trial of Moyer and Haywood as to assert that it was designed to influence the suits that have been brought against Harriman. I neither expressed, nor indicated, any opinion as to whether Messrs. Moyer and Haywood were guilty of the murder of Governor Steunenberg. If they are guilty, they ought to be punished. If they are not guilty, they certainly ought not be punished." Both Bristols Now Dry. The local option election in the Virginia portion of Bristol last Tuesday, was hotly contested by the saloonists and anti-saloonists, the largest vote in the history of the town being cost. The anti-saloonists won by a majority of 201 out of a total vote of 571. The Tennessee section of the city voted to abolish saloons on the 5th of March. STRIKERS ARE ENJOINED Van Winkle Machine Company at Atlanta Appeals to Court for Protection and Prayer Granted. A large number of the machinists employed at the E. Van Winkle Gin and Machinery Works, at Atlanta, are now out on a strike inaugurated nearly three weeks ago, by order of Atlanta lodge, No.1, of the International Association of Machinists. This strike was the occasion of the filing of an equitable petition Monday in the superior court by the Van Winkle company, praying that the said lodge, its members and the striking machinists named as defendants in the petition be enjoined and restrained from interferring in any manner with the labor now employed at the machinery works, and from posting pickets about the works, the ends of the car lines and the depot for the purpose of inducing workmen to quit their positions or to refrain from working for the company. Judge Pendleton granted a temporary restraining order as prayed for in the petition, and set the hearing of the petition for Saturday, April 27. The petition shows by the exhibits attached thereto that the grievances complained of by the lodge and the machinists are that the company discriminated against the members of organized labor; did not observe the rules laid down by organized labor in regard to the employment of handy men on machinists' work, and declined to adopt and post rules governing these conditions. The petition recites that the works manufactures steam and hydraulic engines, cotton machinery and other like machinery, $500,000 being invested in the plant, which employs 300 men, many of whom are machinists, the weekly pay-roll amounting to $3,500, that Edward Van Winkle, the president of the works, Is, and has always been, kind and considerate of the welfare and comfort of his employees, to whom good wages were pald, and they seemed happy and contented up to a recent period. Pettitler complains that in March, 1907, F. W. McCabe, business agent of the lodge, called at the shops and had an interview with President Van Winkle, complaining that no rules were posted in the shop, to which the president replied that the men had neglected to keep them up, and they had become lost or destroyed; that thereupon McCabe furnished a set of rules, which petitlerer did not think suitable or proper for the conduct of its business, and rules framed by the president were posted in lieu of those submitted by the lodge. This caused a kick and McCabe wrote a letter notifying the president of the works that if the matter was not adjusted satisfactorily by March 31, there would be trouble. Thereafter the defendants ordered the strike, and a large number of the machinists walked out, after which, petitioner charges, the lodge and its members posted pickets at the very gates of their premises, at the ends of the car lines, and at the passenger depots to dissuade other machinists and those who remained at work from working for the Van Winkle Company. The company charges that this was an unlawful combination between the lodge and the machinists, its real purpose being to unionize the shops, to prevent the employment of machinists not members of the order, to fix wages irrespective of the rights of employers, and to force non-union men out of the shops, and that the subsequent posting of pickets was the result of a conspiracy between the lodge and the machinists against the company for the purpose of closing down their business, and forcing them to yield to unreasonable demands. TO HONOR JUDGE BLECKLEY. Citizens of Clayton, Ga., Will Erect Monument to Great Jurist. Citizens of Clayton, Ga., have begun a movement to erect a monument to Judge Logan E. Bleckley, a native of the town and one of Georgia's most illustrious dead. It is proposed that the new school building which is to be erected in the town near the judge's birthplace be named the Logan E. Bleckley Memorial Institute. The town has already raised a considerable sum by subscription for this building. Rabun county and the whole state will be asked to contribute. The main building is to cost something like $10,000. On the school grounds or in the school building a statue of the exchief justice is to be placed. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY, APRIL 27. 1907. NONE BUT BRYAN For Leader of Democrats, Says Editor Watterson. NO OTHER, ALTERNATIVE Organized Democracy Must Rely on Nebraskan for Any Hope of Success, is Opinion of Kentucky Statesman. Col. Henry Watterson, the editor, and Mrs. Watterson, arrived at New York Monday from Europe. Another passenger was Frigate Captain Sembiar Foschwitz, flag adjutant of the German navy, who is going to the Jamestown exposition. Colonel Watterson sald, in an interview, that William J. Bryan seemed to be the only man in the running for the Democratic nomination for the presidency. "Mr. Bryan is an individual man with a certain following," he said. "He is not a law-giver, he may be a law unto himself. It remains to be seen if the fragments of the Democratic party, lying around loose, can be united on a new program. "I think that organized Democracy at the present time can see no other alternative except Bryan. Nobody is being seriously considered running. I sometimes doubt whether he himself cares a fig for the presidency. For I should think if he believed Democracy, had a reasonable chance of carrying the country and that he might be nominated he would be more circumspect and would show a greater sense of responsibility than he seems to be showing." Asked what he considered the most vital issue to be raised by the Democratic party, Colonel Watterson said: "The one thing to constitute a militant Democracy is that we must think together. So long as we don't, there is no use proposing any issue. The relations of franchise corporations to the public and of capital and labor are the great economic problems to be worked out in the coming year. We are on the threshold of their rapid development. "I do not believe President Roosevelt wants a third term for himself. I know he recently stated that if the convention nominated him and adjourned, it would have to reconvene as he would never accept another nomination. I am willing to take him at his word." Colonel Watterson declared that Governor Hughes was a force to be reckoned with in Republican politics. "I predicted last June," he said, "that Hughes would succeed Roosevelt in the white house." "BLACK HAND" IN COURT. More Than a Score of Cut-Throat Forsigners Placed on Trial. More than a score of foreigners charged with being members of the "Black Hand," responsible for a large number of crimes, were placed on trial at Wilkesbarre, Pa., Monday. Thirteen, cases of shooting with attempt to kill, thirteen of conspiracy, six of dynamiting and two of robbery by threats and menaces are charged against the men, who are alleged to be the leaders of the "Black Hand." MADE COLONEL WRATHY. Received a "Skiddoo" Postal and Appeals to the Authorities. peaks to the Authorities. The "Skiddoo" postal cards, especially those bearing the membership formula of the "Down and Out Club," are in trouble with Uncle Sam's mail service. A southern colonel, now in Washington, received one, and he immediately sent it to Postmaster General Meyer, with the request for an opinion as to whether or not the card was issuing, and if so, was it eligible for passage through the mail. The matter was taken under advisement. IMMIGRATION INVESTIGATION Plan of Work Has Been Adopted by Special Commission. The immigration commission was in session for three hours at Washington Tuesday considering the details of the proposed investigation. It was practically decided that all of the nine members of the commission except Commissioner Gill and Professor Jelks should proceed to Europe for the purpose of prosecuting the inquiry there, and Messrs. Gill and Jenks should carry on the work in this country. MILLIONS FOR NEGROES. Philadelphia Quakeress Gives Income from That Amount for Colored Rudimentary Schools in South. A gift of $1,000,000 for the establishment of a fund for rudimentary schools for southern negroes was announced at Philadelphia Tuesday night. The donor is Miss Anna T. Jeanes, a Quakeress of Philadelphia, Booker T. Washington, head of Tuskegee Institute and Hollis Burke Frizzell, president of the Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute, are named as trustees of the fund, but neither of the institutions they represent will share in the gift. The income of the million dollars is to be used for the sole purpose of assisting in the "southern United States community, country and rural schools for the great class of negroes to whom the small rural and community schools are alone available." Miss Jeanes, the donor, is about 80 years old, and comes from an old and wealthy family. She has long been interested in the welfare of the negro, and has been a contributor to institutions for their education. She has known Booker Washington for a decade. In transferring the million dollars to the trustees, Miss Jeanes states that "trusting and believing in the practical and far-reaching good that may result from the moral and elevating influence of rural schools for negroes in the southern states, taught by reputable teachers, I do hereby appoint Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee, Ala., and Hollis Burke Frizzell of Hampton, Va., and their successors in the trust appointed and created as hereinafter directed, the trustees of an endowment fund in perpetuity of one million dollars, which is hereby created, to be known as 'the fund for rudimentary schools for southern negroes,' the income thereof shall be devoted to the sole purpose of assisting in the southern United States, community, country and rural schools for the great class of negroes to whom the small rural and community schools are alone available. "Should the said Booker T. Washington or the said Hollis Burke Frizzell decline to serve before they shall have established the board of trustees of said endowment fund, or if for any reason the same shall not be constituted, by them within a period of six months from this date, then I request and empower the trustees of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute and the trustees of the Tuskegee Industrial Institute to select and create from members of their own boards a special board of trustees to act as trustees of the said endowment fund in perpetuity hereby created; and I direct that such board apply the income upon the said fund in like manner solely toward the maintenance and assistance of the rural, community and country schools for the southern negroes, and to encourage moral influence and social refinement which shall promote peace in the land and good will among men." BARGE LONG MISSING. Michigan With Fourteen Men. The wooden lumber barge Arcadia, which left Manistee, Mich., April 12, for Two Rivers, with a cargo of hardwood, has undoubtedly been lost in Lake Michigan with her captain and owner, Harry May, and about thirteen others. Marine men have given her up as lost. A CRANKY- COMBINATION. Carnegie, Low and Butler Join Forces With Old Lady Eddy. With Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy as its American founder, and Andrew Carnegie, Seth Low, Nicholas Murray Butler and other American publicists identified with the movement, an American branch of the Association for International Conciliation, was organized at New York Tuesday. BELIEVED IN UNWRITTEN LAW. On That Score 53 Men Were Excused from Jury Duty. Fifty-three men, out of a venire of 100, summoned for the trial of the policeman; Michael McNamara, charged with killing his wife and John J. Broppy, her paramour, on August 23, 1906, were excused in court at St. Louis Monday, after they had sworn they believed in the "unwritten law." Each of the 53 said he would refuse to vote for conviction if the "unwritten law" was pleaded in McNamara's defense. BRYAN'S PLATFORM Tariff Reform Will Be the Slogan for 1908. NO OWNERSHIP PLANK National Committeeman Dahlman, Who is in Close Touch With Nebraskan, Makes Official Announcement. The democratic platform of 1908, if W. J. Bryan controls the convention, will not demand absolute government ownership of railroads. This was authoritatively announced at Omaha, Saturday, by James C. Dahlman, national committeeman from Nebraska. The statement is in the nature of an official announcement for the reason that Mr. Dahlman is in close touch with Mr. Bryan. From the same source it is stated that tariff reform will again become a dominant feature of the platform. While Mr. Dahlman was not able to go into minute details, he says the prominent planks in Mr. Bryan's platform will concern trusts, the tariff, state regulation and money, the railroad ownership plank, being conspicuous by its absence. Constitutional guarantees will have a strong indorsement and the acceptance of campaign contributions from trusts and large corporations will receive severe condemnation. The platform will define the necessity for and proper use of money contributed for running campaigns. Usurpation of power by the president also will be asked to declare that President Roosevelt in this respect as well as in the matter of accepting or approving campaign contributions, has overstepped the true democratic principles. Government economics will receive the usual attention, and a halt will be demanded in naval circles. It will be declared that the vast sums spent on armament may be much better employed in irrigating, the plains of the west. Development of river navigation is to be indorsed. Election, of United States senators by direct vote of the people, reformation of civil service rules and a strong foreign policy will be strongly proclaimed and pledged. No overtures of any sort is to be made to the populists, beyond a general invitation directed to all classes to join forces with the democratic party in an effort to enforce the principles proclaimed and demanded in the democratic faith. BETWEEN SIX AND-SEVEN YEARS Panama Canal Will Be Completed, Says Stevens. John F. Stevens, formerly chief engineer and chairman of the isthmian canal commission, was a caller at the white house Saturday. His visit was a personal one, he said, as he had not seen the president since his return to this country. He talked with the president about the condition of affairs on the isthmus. "How long will it take to complete the canal?" was asked of Mr. Stevens. "Between six and seven years," he replied. SIX BOYS HELD FOR MURDER. Alleged That They Killed Negro Women Without Provocation. Tom Walker, John Talbert, Temple Young, oje Baugh, Derby Weatherford and Oscar Geatherly, six white boys, ranging in age from 14 to 20 years, were arrested and placed in jail at Danville, Va., Saturday, charged with the murder of Ellen Elliott, a negro woman who was stabbed and stamped to death. It is said that the attack upon the negro was absolutely unprovoked, and the killing without cause. STOLEN FUNDS ARE TRACED. Walker Disposed of Loot to Two New York Banks. Securities to the value of $200,000 which were stolen from the Savings Bank of New Britain, Conn., by William F. Walker, the absconding treasurer of that institution, have been truced to two New York banking houses, according to a statement made Friday by Detective Vallely of the New York police department. He said the two banking houses stand in the position of innocent purchasers. NO.30. WESTERN - FRUIT KILLED. Sweep of Wintry Blizzard In Many States Will Entail Loss of Several A sharp drop in temperature followed the snow storm Saturday night, 14 degrees above zero being recorded by the weather bureau in Denver and Pueblo, and fruit of all kinds in eastern Colorado, according to specials, was nipped in the bud. At Grand Junction, the center of the more important fruit region west of the continental divide, the temperature fell 30 degrees Sunday, and the weather observer there reported that the condition of fruit was grave. While damage to the fruit in Colorado, according to some estimates, may amount to several million dollars, nearly all other crops will be merely benefited by the moisture. A remarkable feature of the snow storm was that it was more severe in the lowlands than in the mountains. While the precipitation covered a large area, including all Colorado, Wyoming and part of South Dakota, Nebraska, Texas and New Mexico, the snow was mostly confined to the eastern slope of the Rocky mountains, and extended from Lander, Wyo., and Rapid City, S. D., on the north to Santa Fe, N. M., and Roswell, N. M., on the south. Only a slight snow occurred west of the continental divide. The storm originated in the north and worked its way slowly to the south, passing out of the state late Sunday afternoon. Frederick H. Brandenburg, district forecaster, who estimated the snowfall in Denver at 17 1-2 inches, said that though the snow storm was remarkable in that city for April, it was by no means unprecedented. On April 21, 22 and 23, 1838, the records show a snowfall of 32 inches, 27 inches falling on the last day of the storm. On the whole, it is asserted that while the storm was heavier than any of the entire winter, and some damage is reported, the resulting good will offset the loss many fold. Advices from Omaha, Neb., state that as a result of the unprecedentedly warm weather which prevailed during the greater part of the month of March, and the freezing weather and heavy snowfall of the last few days, early fruits, such as peaches, plums and cherries, in that region have been injured, but the general opinion is that the damage is not as great as has been reported. Indeed; many are of the opinion that while early fruits have been injured, and in some instances killed, benefits resulting to the grain crop from the snow storm more than offset the damage. Snow fell in El Paso, Texas, Sunday morning at a lively rate for more than an hour. This is the latest snowfall ever known there, and the temperature, which was 36 degrees, did much damage to the small fruit and truck gardens in the valley variously estimated at from $50,000 to $100,000. THREE TRAINS IN CRASH. Peculiar Wreck on Southern Kills Two and Injurves Many. As the result of a double wreck on the Southern railway a short distance east of Woodlawn, a suburb of Birmingham, Ala., early Sunday morning, two men are dead and a number injured. The unusual character of the wreck makes it surprising that the casualties were not more. A freight train with a dead, engine on the rear, was moving towards Birmingham. The operator allowed No. 37, the fast passenger into the block, and it crashed into the dead engine, smashing them both and demolishing several cars. Three cars of the freight train were thrown across the eastbound track almost at the instant that the Southern wrecker, en route to Heflin, Ala., passed. The wrecker struck them and practically the whole train piled into the ditch. Two men were caught un- CANNOT SELL TO CONSUMER. Coal Dealers Will Boycott Mines If They Are "Caught." At the closing session in Atlanta of the Retail Coal Dealers' Convention, the fact was developed that a mine owner will be immediately boycotted by the members of the Southeastern Retail Coal Dealers' Association, if he sells directly to consumers. One of the chief objects and aims of this association is to prevent consumers buying their coal direct from the mine owner. Largest Sick and Death Benefits; Smallest Premiums.

It From a great poet's hidden ecstasy; A two-edged sword, a star, a song—ah Sometimes a heavy-tolling funeral bell. This was the flame that shook with Dan- The solemn organ whereon Milton played. And clear glass where Shakespe- re's shadow falls. A sea this is—howeve who ventureth! For like a flord the narrow floor is laid. Murmur deep to the sheer mountain walls Mrs. Potter looked up from her sewing with an expression of mingled anxiety and triumph on her face as Mr. Potter came into the room one June afternoon. "Your cousin Maria has gone," she said, slowly. "She took the early train, right after luncheon." "You didn't—nothing has been said or done to offend her, I know," said Mr. Potter, loyally, "but what on earth started her? Didn't we gather that she—er—proposed to be with us for some time longer?" Mrs. Potter nodded and smiled. Mrs. Potter hooded and smiled: "She meant to stay until after Edith Catter's wedding, two weeks from today," she said, "but her plans changed suddenly. Of course I haven't said one word to let her know we really needed our guest-room, though it's been hard not to do it." "You've been mighty kind to her, poor old Maria," said Mr. Potter appreciatively. "But it was the telephone that sent her on," continued his wife. "Now don't stand around looking worried, James. Sit down comfortably in your own chair and I'll tell you all about it. "Of course you know, James, that I agree with you there never was a better woman than your cousin Maria, and you agree with me that if she weren't quite so helpful and competent we should enjoy her visits a great deal more than we do now." "There's never been any use in telling you how provoked it makes Ethel to have your cousin Maria take tucks in her skirts when she decides I've let the dressmaker have her own way too much and make them too long. There's nothing to be gained by telling you what fearful times I've had with Wed when your cousin Maria has said in his hearing that twenty-five cents a week was more than enough for a little boy of his age to spend; and I'm sure I'd scorn to mention the annoyance I've felt over her rearranging the furniture and the plants and everything. "But I know I have sometimes spoken of the邻居's feelings when she's told them how to economize and do their hair, and make home happy. They've been cautions, because they know she's as good as gold and it's just her way, but they have been irritated, James, and I've heard of it." "Well, I think her greatest comfort, really, has been Edith Carter. She has said a hundred times that she only hoped our Ethel might 'develop' such a lovely character as Edith's, which isn't at all likely, for Ethel is so outspoken and Edith slides along without ever letting you know whether she likes things or not; she has that sweet, apparently yielding disposition. I say apparently, Janes, because over since Edith became engaged to that ranchman, that none of the family really care for. I've felt that underneath she has a will of iron." Mrs. Potter paused for breath, but as her husband opened his mouth to speak, she ended on: "Of course your cousin Maria was determined to stay here to see that young man, find out whether she approved of him, and give him some sound advice as to the care of Edith, whom she considers very delicate. She says how Edith's parents can be so blind as to think she's strong is beyond her; though when you realize how she can shop all the morning, play tennis all the afternoon and dance all the evening, it isn't strange to me. "Your cousin Maria told Edith what she should do, and of course Edith just smiled in that pretty way of hers, and said, 'Dear Miss Maria' half under her breath. Anybody would have thought she was delighted. I've told Maria all I could about the young man—told her he was big and breezy and had a contagious smile and an infectious laugh, and a determined chin, but nothing I could say satisfied her. "You remember he was expected next Monday? This is Thursday, your cousin Maria was over at the Carter's yesterday afternoon, and she told me that if today proved fair the whole family were going down to Saltville to spend the day with Aunt Patience; she is too feeble to come up for the wedding, and she's devoted to Edith. They were to let Hannah have the day to go to her sisters, for she will have to work so hard next week. "So this morning, proving fair, your cousin Maria said to me, 'Of course they've gone,' and settled down quite contentedly with me in the sitting-room. "I think I've mentioned to you once or perhaps twice, James, that she's been pretty trying about the telephone—telling people I'm too busy to talk to them, and answering the rings for number four because she 'thought they must mean three,' and so on. Well, we hadn't been sitting there ten minutes when the telephone rang two, loud and clear, and Marla sprang to her feet. "We aren't two, you know; we are three," I said feebly, but of course I saw at once, what she meant to do. She took down the receiver and said, in her crispest voice, 'The family whose number is two are away. Please do not annoy us by continuing to ring,' and hung up the receiver. She waited a minute, and then there came a sharper call for two, and with a flash in her eyes she took down the receiver again. "I've been meaning to discipline that telephone girl,' she said over her shoulder to me, and then she said, 'Give me the desk.' I was sliding so near I could hear the telephone girl's voice say, 'What number are you?' 'Number three,' said Maria, 'and I wish the desk.' 'Nnumber two was called,' said the telephone girl. 'Please hang up your receiver at once.' 'Your cousin Maria didn't hang up the receiver—you know her well enough. James to be sure she wouldn't. She laid it on the table and stood there beside it. Then all at once I heard a soft voice. I was sure it was Edith Carter's, and then—the room seemed to be filled with a great roar. Your cousin Marta jumped, and so did I. " 'Edith' the voice roared. 'Edith! You must have got, my telegram. Some meddling, interfering busybody has been trying to prevent—' My lap was full of the ruffles for Ethel's skirt, but I managed to run with them to the telephone and hang up the receiver. Your cousin Maria's face was a study, and she looked pretty limp as she sank into a chair. In about fifteen minutes she sat up stiffly. I don't think she'd heard anything I said in the meantime, and announced she was going home on the one-forty-five, and then she hurried up-stairs to pack. "I tried to help her, and I asked her if she would come back for the wedding, but she only gave a sort of shudder and said, 'No! That man! No!' "Edilr ran in on her way to the train, and told how she'd had a telegram from her ranchman early in the morning, and had waited to meet him and go down to Aunt Patience's on the noon train. She looked just as tranquil and sweet as ever, but she said there had been some little misunderstanding' about the telephone that morning. She 'thought perhaps the people who have number four, who are new on the line, had not quite—' Her voice was trailing away when Maria spoke from over the top of the stairs with her arms full of dress shirts. "It wasn't the number four people, and you know it, Edith," she called. "It was me—she never thought of grammar. 'You can tell your ranchman for me that the meedling, Interfering busybody has learned from him what nobody else has ever dared to tell tell—and she's going home to think it over. And you needn't think I'm offended. I'm not, as this will prove to you, child—only I don't care to meet your young man yet awhile.'" "And she tossed down an envelope to Edith with a fifty-dollar check in it, 'for something pretty, with her love.'" "Edith hadn't a minute, but she ran up and kissed Marla, twice over. "I tried to persuade Marla to stay after that, but I couldn't/ She went, in spite of all I said." "Poor old Marla!" said Mr. Potter, slowly. "A blow like that stays by one. Do you suppose she'll ever come again?" Mrs. Potter looked at him with a smile. "She said she'd come on in the fall to see that I got Ethel properly fitted out for school," she said, quietly. "I don't believe even the telephone will entirely change her, all at once, James." "Youth's Companion." EEL MYSTERY SOLVED. Science Finds That They Spawn at Sea and Travel Inland. The public just learns that it did not know where eels bred, but it seems that the problem has long puzzled biologists. Danish marine investigators have now-completed investigations proving that so far as the European eel population is concerned the creatures spawn at a depth of 500 fathoms in the Atlantic Ocean contiguous to the British Isles and southwest Europe. From innumerable eggs there appear tiny larvae called leptocephali, which are transparent, jellylike and flat, having something of the contour of a talless herring. It is not known how long the eggs take to develop the leptocephali, but the latter occupy six months in transition to the familiar elvers, which are about two inches long. The elvers then migrate in countless swarms to the shores of western Europe, travelling in columns sometimes several yards wide and miles long. Nothing stops their progress. If they encounter a ship they separate to the right and left and rejoin in the vessel's wake. They invaded every river and waterway on the coasts, ascending steadily landward. They even ascend small waterfalls, penetrate streams and wriggle over swampy grounds into ponds and ditches.—New York Sun. Tobacco was legal tender in the American states when they were still colonies of Great Britain. BOSTON TALKS BACK. Warns Folks Not to Sneer at It Lest, Like Poe, They Die in a Hospital. Quite naturally, Boston people were rather plued when H. C. Wells, on his recent visit to this country, declared—though in other words—that Boston seemed to be as calm and slumbrous-as the Sleeping Beauty. The answers to Mr. Wells are now being pronounced. Edwin D. Mead made some remarks to the Bostonian Society the other day, in which he quoted the Autocrat of the Breakfast Table to the effect that no man could come to Good who attempted to sneer at Boston. "After a man begins to attack the State House, when he gets bitter about the Frog Pond, you may be sure there is not much left of him," said Mr. Mead. "Poor Edgar Poe died in the hospital soon after he got into this way of talking; and so sure as you find an fortunate fellow reduced to this pass, you had better begin praying for him, and stop lending him money, for he is on his last legs. "Remember poor Edgar! He is dead and gone; but the State House has its cupola fresh gilded and the Frog Pond has got a fountain that squirts a hundred feet. "Boston respects bustle; and we have the largest railroad terminal in the world, and fourscore more trains arriving and departing daily from all our stations, than even Chicago, which claims to be the greatest railroad centre in the world. "Boston respects money, and Boston, sir, carries the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe in its trousers pocket. "Boston respects iron and steel as contemporary documents; and the reason why our Institute of Technology arranged for entrance examinations in London was that Englishmen who wanted to send their sons here said London had none so good. "One of the last visiting Englishmen wrote home to praise our park system and our public library as incompatible. I think he was right. The Boston Public Library is without a peer among public libraries and upon its front is graved the proudest fact: 'Built by the People.'" "Had the visitor pushed an hour westward he would have found just finished the greatest reservoir ever created by a metropolis for the water supply of its people, and had he called at evening on the chief commissioners he would probably have found him reading history. "The great body of advanced schools of which Harvard is the centre—Boston University, the Institute of Technology, Tufts College, and the rest—make Boston the greatest seat of higher education in America. Our musical pre-eminence is. I believe, conceded, and the superior popularity of Sousa to Muck in Boston indicates plainly enough our vitality. "It was the great English jurist, Dicey, who pronounced the Harvard Law School stronger than any in England—the most wonderful thing I saw in America—and the eminent English physician, Sir Thomas Barlow, present at the recent dedication of the new buildings of the Harvard Medical School, who declared that he and his colleagues had never dreamed of such a vision of beauty and of adaptation to the needs for which such buildings are erected. "We should blush to say such things ourselves—but we are greaterful."—New York Sun. Kansas Adds to the Language. Kansas has again made a valuable contribution—this time to the wealth of the language, or, more properly speaking, to the language's wealth of slang. It passing be it observed that rich, ripe, expressive slang, untainted by any tinge of vulgarity, has a sure place in spoken English. A Kansas legislator, speaking on a lobby favored measure which he opposed, warned his fellow lawmakers that there was "a bug under the chip." "A bug under the chip"—does it not seem destined to a distinguished place in language? Short, terse, expressive, new—its meaning cannot be doubted. Why, one almost see the sly, slick, scheming, insidious bug working out his devious designs, protected, yea even fostered, by the broad, white, apparently useful and much to be desired chip. Legislators, be cautious. Public, be watchful and inquiring. Look for the "bug under the chip."—St. Louis Republic. Not So Bad as She Thought. A very tall young man and his companion were standing at the curb on Van Ness avenue. "Nothin' doin', Duncan, on those labelled 'Turk and Market.' I don't want to figure on any more corners until we get home to Berkeley." "All right, Doc; we'll lay for a through car." Presently two belated Turk street cars came in sight over the curve some distance up the street, and at the same moment one of a pair of young women who had approached near the men slipped slightly on the muddy pavement. "Ah, ha! Two Ferries!" I choose the one that isn't loaded, "trumphantly exclaimed the-tall man. "Sir! You forget yourself!" hissed the woman who had slipped, and her glance would have converted Strawberry Creek into an ice-skating rink for the rest of the winter.—San Francisco Chronicle. At the University of Michigan last year 2467 young men and women of Michigan were given educational training by the state. HELPFUL HINTS FOR THE HOME Testing Eggs for Freshness. Dissolve two ounces of salt in a pint of water and then place the egg to be tested in this liquid. A new laid egg will at once sink to the bottom—an egg three days old will remain suspended about midway and an egg that is five days old or more, will float on the top of the solution. The vacuum in the shell is the explanation of the varying actions of the egg. The larger it becomes owing to the evaporation of the contents through the shell, the more easily the egg floats.—Joseph C. H. Girst, In The Epitomist. Carrots Instead of Eggs. It is not generally known that boiled carrots, when properly prepared form an excellent substitute for eggs in puddings. They must, for this purpose, be boiled and mashed, and passed through a coarse cloth or fine sieve strainer. The pulp is then introduced among the other ingredients of the pudding to the total omission of eggs. A pudding made up in this way is much lighter than where eggs are used, and is much more palatable. On the principle of economy, this is worthy of the prudent housewife's attention.-G. E. E., in the Indiana Farmer. Useful Screens Why are the useful and ornamental qualities of a screen so often forgotten by the woman who attempts to make a cosey looking room? Given a prettily designed art screen there is no reason why an ugly corner should not be hidden at once by using the screen as a tall background for a pedestal or palm, or even a standing lamp. Let the colors in the screen harmonize sufficiently with the room not to make a discordant note, but let it have a sufficiently distinctive note to make a decided addition to the department. As for the bedroom, the advantages of a screen are endless. To keep a draft from the bed at night, to shield the drowsy by day and 40 add to the furnishings of the room itself—surely it is more than worth the money it costs. If the purchaser cannot find one with covering to correspond to what she wants, she can cover it herself at a minimum expenditure for cretonne or muslin. The burlap screens or the mission order are always effective, particularly for the boy or girl's den, when they have college panels inserted at the top. Recipes Cold Slaw.—Take nice, solid, sweet cabbage, and chop to the desired size. Salt it. Take two cups of good, rich, sour cream to one cup of good vinegar; mix well together and sweeten to taste. Pour this over the cabbage and have enough to cover it well. Hot Slaw.—One quart of nice, white cabbage, chopped fine. Pepper and salt it and place in a dish. Then make the following dressing: Place three tablespoons of butter in a stewpan; add one egg well beaten, and one cup of vinegar. When this boils up once pour over the cabbage. Peach Pie.—This pie is good served either hot or cold. Peel the peaches, slice them and put them into a pan. Crack the stones and put in the kernels, carefully peeled, using for every pound of peaches four ounces of granulated sugar and a cupful of water Let this soak slowly. Mash the peaches in a.colander, line some buttergirl pie tins with pie paste and put in the mixture and bake. Cream of Tomato Soup.—Cook some strained tomato until thick and reduced to less than a cupful, seasoning palatably with salt, pepper and parsley. Scald a quart of milk and thicken it as directed for potato soup and season to taste. When ready to serve take both milk and tomato from the fire. Add to the latter a pinch of baking soda and stir it slowly into the milk. Serve at once. If reheated it will curdle. Delicious Cakes.—To serve at 5 o'clock teas are made from one-quarter pound grated sweet chocolate, one-quarter pound sugar, three-eighths pound figur, three eggs, and one-quarter pound almonds. Have the almonds blanched and cut lengthwise. Mix together, adding the beaten egg last, and knead well, dusting with a little flour to prevent sticking, roll out not too thin. Cut with fancy cutters, bake on sheets rubbed over with the best of salad oil, in a moderate oven. Macaroni and Cheese.—In a saucepan have fully three quarts of boiling salted water. Into this drop a half package of macaroni broken in two-inch pieces; cover until at a fast boil, then partly uncover and keep boiling hard until tender. Drain in a colander. On a hot platter put alternate layers of the macaroni and grated cheese, sprinkling each layer with melted butter. Turn through with two forks and serve at once. This may be changed by substituting a nice meat sauce or a strained tomato sauce for the butter. PEARLS OF-THOUGHT. Whiskey is a good thing in its place, but its place is Hell. I hate theology and botany; I love religion and flowers. The only title I want is D. D.—if it means "Devil Driver." Many a fellow is praying for rain with his tub the wrong side up. God shows what He thinks of riches by the kind of people He gives them to. Repentance is the first conscious movement of the soul from sin toward God. Anything that makes my neighbor's wife's heart bleed, I am going to fight. A man is not a sinner because he is an infidel; he is an infidel because he is a sinner. He has either a mighty long head or a mighty short creed who believes only what he understands. The Christian who will do things in New York that he would not do at home is a very poor Christian. You don't believe what you don't understand? Do you understand why some cows have horns, and some are muley? Until twenty-five years of age, I was the biggest fool you ever looked at; only when you looked in the mirror yourself. Thank God, this world has never seen the time when it did not take its hat off and make a decent bow to a good woman. They will put you in jail for stealing a man's money, but you can be an average church member and steal a man's character. The capacity of a woman for making everybody about her uncomfortable cannot be calculated by any known process of arithmetic. The roar of commerce, the click of the telegraph and the whistle of the engine have well-nigh drowned out the voice of God. I have known women too poor to own a pair of shoes, but I never knew doubt I tell him he is about to go on one too poor to own a looking-glass. If you tell me what you love and what you hate, I will tell you your character.—Compiled from Sam Jones' Sermons by the Christian Advocate. I've seen a man and a dog go into a saloon and in an hour the man would get beastly drunk and stagger out like a hog, while the dog-would come out and walk away like a gentleman. YEARS AT LAW FOR A TOY. Laws of Pennsylvania Changed So Claimant Could Replace Property. Eight years of legal warfare for possession of a carved toy bureau was finally brought to a conclusion in Common Pleas Court recently, writes the Philadelphia correspondent of the New York Sun. Not the least of the many unusual features connected with this contest is the fact that to regain possession of the bureau one of the parties to the suit had the laws of the State changed. The successful litigant is Mrs. Emma B. Gullien of Pasadena, Cal., a daughter of F. Carroll Brewster, the famous jurist of this State. It was a gift from her mother. The other litigant was Mrs. Charles S. Campbell of this city, into whose possession the bureau came in 1898 at an auction sale. She wanted to keep the bureau on account of the love her children have for it. When Mrs. Guilleu learned that the bureau had been sold by mistake she approached Mrs. Campbell, who said she would be willing to part with the toy but that her children were not. After several conferences, all of which failed, Mrs. Guilleu brought suit. Then her lawyer discovered that in the event of Mrs. Guilleu winning it would be possible for Mrs. Campbell to retain the bureau by paying, the value of the disputed article as fixed by the jury. To overcome this the lawyer drafted a measure and had it passed by the Legislature, modifying the replevin laws so that the property itself could be recovered. A writ of replevin was issued, the sheriff seized the bureau and held it until a few days ago, when as a result of the jury's action he turned it over to Mrs. Guilleu. Old Home of Peter the Great. Another link with London of the past is shortly to disappear. The house which stands at the bottom of Buckingham street, Strand, and close to the old water gate in the Embankment Gardens, has quite recently been sold, and will. In the near future, be demolished in order to provide a site for new offices. The house, in which may still be seen two ceilings hand painted and of exquisite beauty is said to be the one in which Peter the Great lived when he was engaged in his work at Deptford Dockyard. At that time, of course, the house stood on the river bank, and was easy of approach from the water—London News. Ceylon Pearl Profits. The Ceylon pearl fisheries was leased a year ago to a limited company for twenty years, at an annual rental of $103,333, the company covenanting to expend from $16,000 to $50,000 a year on improvements under government supervision and to pay the cost of governmental protection. Inso me recen tyear, presumably 1905, but the date has been edited out of the consular report, as usual, the fishery is said to have yielded a net profit of $801,882—a record breaker.—Hartford Courant. SCIENCE The largest insect known to entomol ogists is a Central American moth, called the erebus strix, which expands its wings from eleven inches to eighteen inches. The finger-print system has reached Southern Nigeria. In October it was started for the identification of criminals, and 152 impressions and photographs were taken. A Swedish inventor thinks that the price of alcohol made from peat will be less than one-half of the present price of alcohol, and lower than the lowest price of refined petroleum. The tests of the German government have shown great variations in the durability of typewritten documents, but with the best ribbons the work seems as lasting as that written by hand with the best-writing ink. While some German ribbons proved goods those of American manufacture showed a higher general average in quality. Artificial silk is made from wood pulp in Sweden. The imitation is excellent, but it is found that many dresses made from it have been discarded because the creases made when the wearers sit down do not come out. It is scarcely possible to distinguish the real from the artificial, but this defect has proved fatal for use as dress pieces. An English physician points out that doctors are blamed for the death of patients under chloroform, when the catastrophe is due entirely to the parents or friends, who ignore the strict orders not to give any food before the operation, and by administering milk, eggs, an orange or chocolates, "to fortify him for the operation," bring on fatal complications. Illness or sudden death from entering long closed holds of ships has been attributed to the presence of carbon monoxide or an excess of carbonic acid. Late experiments have convinced G. Giemsa that lack of oxygen is more often the cause, as many stored substances absorb this gas rapidly, while air containing less than 15 percent must soon prove fatal. He concludes further that such processes as the drying of floor varnish may absorb oxygen to an unsafe extent in closed rooms. ALUMINUM'S HISTORY. First Practical Use in This Country Was on Washington Monument. The history of aluminum, now in general use in the form of kitchen utensils and other everyday appliances, is known to few people. William E. Curtis, writing in "The Chicago Record-Herdal," says that the first practical use ever made of the metal was in fitting a can on the peak of the Washington monument in 1881. Although aluminum was discovered in 1827 by Professor Wohler of Göttingen University, Germany, at that time it was practically an unknown metal, the cost and difficulty of it production having prevented its development until the general use of electricity made it easy and economical. The cap on the top of the monument is a square pyramid in shape, weighing one hundred ounces, and is 8.9 inches in height, and 5.6 inches in width at the base. General George W. Davis, now on the retired list and residing in Washington, was in immediate charge of the completion of the monument under General Casey, and has the distinction of being the first man to handle aluminum in a practical way. Until that time it had been used only for toys, for "freak" purposes, and small samples had been utilized in making models for the patent office. In 1905, however, the production of aluminum was 11,347,000 pounds, valued at $2,246,300; in 1901 the production was $8,600,000 pounds, valued at $2,447,000. The total for 1906 will be much larger. The development of the industry is rapid. The Pittsburgh Production company, which now holds a monopoly of the manufacture of aluminum, has recently changed its name to the Aluminum Company of America, and is controlled by the Mellus of Pittsburg, who operate pipe lines for oil to New York and Philadelphia. A Yard End Proposal. A romantic story is told concerning Lord Kelvin's marriage. When the famous scientist was on his schooner yacht Lalla Rookh in West Indian waters, he got up a system of simplifying the method of signals at sea. He asked Miss Crum, whom he greatly admired, and who was the daughter of his host, if she understood his code. She said she did. "If I sent you a signal," he asked, "from my yacht, do you think you could read it and could answer?" "Well, I would try," she responded. The signal was sent, and she did succeed in making it out and transmitting the reply. The question was, "Will you marry me?" and the answer was "Yes."—"Fit-Bits." Telephone in War The telephone is destined to take a great part in the wars of the future, and a new system of rapid laying is doubling its utility.

THE elevation of just one of our men in business or otherwise, has a tendency of helping all of the others. Let us then be less selfish and more inclined to help others. UNSTABLENESS is one of the main weaknesses of certain of our people.

TILLMAN is now trying to make Booken Washington a white man. He says that Mr Washington is the only colored man out of ten millions of them that has amounted to anything and that is because he is half white. It is amusing, then at times disgusting to note the idiocritical way which some of our white friends treat the color question in this section. It is known that the race feeling in Atlanta is at high tension, yet when the question arose at the Grady Hospital for the securing of colored nurses for colored patients the white nurses protested ONE million for the education of the Colored children of the South is the amount a Philadelphia lady has donated. Principal Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee and President II. B. Frissell of Hampton are the directors of the fund which will be used mainly in the rural districts. These schools for our people are but poorly supported by the various States. THE past several weeks have demonstrated especially the great interest that the white citizens are taking in purchasing of property. The purchases are mainly among the wage earning class. This is a lesson for our people and they should profit by it, by also purchasing lots in desirable localities while they can be purchased at a reasonable price. This is intended especially for our young men, and too, those with a family. SOMETHING unusual is liable to happen because Judge Norwood has been lenient with two colored men accused of crime. Both of them were sentenced, but same was suspended during good behavior. One of them was charged with stealing and the other with stabbing. If the judge would be as lenient with the small boys who go before him charged with petty crimes, there would be less of them on the chaingang, and there would be fewer hardened criminals in the county. Row in White Churches. Philadelphia furnished two record breaking sensations the Sunday succeeding Easter, and rough and tumble mix-ups in high church circles was the sum and substance of it all. To the outside world the occasion was a startling surprise, because it took place in the city of Brotherly Love, and among high-class white folks, and not ordinary Negroes. It was a monstrous sin and a shame, because it occurred on the Holy Sabbath and in sanctuaries during the progress of worship. The Union Presbyterian Church, 66th Street and Woodland Avenue, was the scene of one static encounter following a double collection by rival church factions. Emanuel Protestant Episcopal Church, Marlborough Street, above Girafard Avenue, was the scene of the other. In the latter scrimmage women and children screamed, and church officers and vesty boys pommel each other. Strange to say both of these disgraceful altercations had the collections as their storm center. There is but one general moral to be deduced from the satanic episode referred to. That deduction is the total depravity of human nature without regard to race, color or condition. Had the principals been colored, doubtless the affair would have been painted more so by the press and reporters generally. Our only comment is that the devil is the same in human nature without regard to color and that white people are no worse nor no better than colored under similar circumstances. —Christian Recorder. White Church The latest noted ebulition of race prejudice comes from Dr. Van DeWalter, of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in New York, says the Colored American Magazine. This very consecrated gentleman wishes that a colored Episcopal Church will soon be established in his vicinity, that it may receive into its folds the present colored parishioners of his own church, whom, he alleged, he 'doesn't want.' He states that on one occasion, one or more of these colored parishioners of his got into pews rented by white members, and when told to take other seats forthwith left the building in an indignant manner. This action on the part of the colored parishioners cannot be sanctioned as strictly according to the best rules of politeness and decorum, but as one swallow does not make a summer, so no one action of this kind should condemn all the other parishioners against whom, there is no charge; and it looks: to a man up a tree, that this is only the occasion for the good rector's wrath, while the cause really lies deeper and is based on race prejudice, which certainly is a sin which if felt in ternally should never be expressed externally by one who claims to follow the Lowly One of Nazareth. What sort of brotherly love has a man (not to say a rector) of this kind got any way? What is his idea of Christ's teaching that we are to go into all the world and preach His gospel to all men? Does he think Christ meant only white men when He said this, or did he consider Christ was running, his missionary propaganda with a 'Jim Crow' attachment? The colored parishioners will do well to "get from under" the religious teaching of such a man as Dr. Van de Water forthwith. He shows that his fundamentals are sadly out of gear. During slavery, so long as the Negro was a species of the white man's property, he was good enough not only to worship with him, but even to commune with him; why now is this change since freedom—does it show that Dr. Van DeWater's kind can only see the good Negro in the slave Negro? Such religion is all rot and deserves no place or recognition by true followers of Christ. Distinguished Negroes Junius C.

The modern patent medicine-business is the natural outgrowth of the old-time household remedies. In the early history of this country, EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME-MADE MEDICINES. Herb-teas, bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be found in almost every house, compounded by the housewife, sometimes assisted by the apothecary or the family doctor. Such remedies as piec, which was aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A score or more of popular, home-made remedies were thus compounded, the formulae for which were passed along from house to house, sometimes written, sometimes verbally communicated. The patent medicine business is a natural outgrowth from this, wholesome, old-time custom. In the beginning some enterprising doctor, impressed by the usefulness of one of these home-made remedies, would take it up, improve it in many ways, manufacture it on a large scale, advertise it mainly through almanacs for the home, and thus it would become used over a large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSEHOLDREMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC FORM. Peruna was originally one of these old-time remedies. It was used by the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it was offered to the public for sale. Dr. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Mennonite origin. First, he prescribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale of it increased, and at last he established a manufactory and furnished it to the general drug trade. Peruna is useful in a great many climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis and catarrhal diseases, generally. THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA and its value in the treatment of these ailments. They have learned to trust and believe in Dr. Hartman's judgment, and to rely on his remedy, Peruna. Mica Axle Grease lengthens the life of the wagon—saves horse- power, time and tem- per.

Bull fighting in Mexico has had its first death; that is, the first death of a human being. The superstitious will nod sagely when they learn that the fatal fight occurred on the 13th of January. According to Modern Mexico it was a great day. Antonio Montes, a favorite matador, had had trouble getting one bull, a native Mexican product, into a good position for the final thrust. When he did so, after much manoeuvring, he himself was backed up against the wooden fence which surrounds the ring. He killed the bull "beautifully," but in the animal's dying rage the bull caught and threw the matador three times, inflicting the fatal injuries. After preparing the body for shipment back to Spain, where all good bull fighters come from and where they are always buried, it was placed in the chapel of the Spanish cemetery in this city where, through the carelessness or the guard, the candle was allowed to fall over and set fire to the draperies, burning down the chapel and cremating the body. Aside from the natural interest in such an event and the dramatic features of the fight, death and cremation, it was one of the most interesting sights to see the crowd of Mexicans of all classes, from the highest to the lowest, which hung about the house where the dying favorite lay. This crowd was never less than 200 and often greater than 2,000, a most interesting commentary on the statement, often heard, that bull fighting as a sport is on the wane in popularity here. However, some little agitation, hacked by well known people, has been begun looking toward a permanent closing of the bull rings. What the result of this talk and the petitions will be cannot be foreseen, but the fact that this was tried once before and has a signal failure, and also that a new steel ring has just been built and will be ready for occupancy next year, point to a probable failure of the agitation.

"Upon the limbs and between the toes my skin was rough and sore, and also sore under the arms. I had to stay at home several times because of this affection. Up to a week or so ago I had tried many other remedies and several doctors, and spent about three hundred dollars, without any success, but this is to-day the seventh day that I have been using the Cuticura Remedies (costing a dollar and a half), which have cured me completely, so that I can again attend to my business. I want to work again to-night. I had been suffering for eight years and have now been cured by the Cuticura Remedies within a week. Fritz Hirschlaff, 24 Columbia Ave., New York, N.

Johnson, of 603 West Hickman St., Columbia, Mo., says: "Following an operation two years ago, dropsy set in, and my left side was so swollen the doctor said he would have to tap out the water. There was constant pain and a gurgling sensation around my heart, and I could not raise my arm above my head. The kidney action was disor- ago, drops set in, and my left side was so swollen the doctor said he would have to tap out the water.

The milk is first treated with peroxide of hydrogen, which kills the germs, but imparts a peculiar taste to the milk. Then to each quart of milk is added a few drops of the ferment obtained from beef liver from which the beef has been expressed. This substance, it is claimed, destroys the unpleasant taste given to the milk by the peroxide of hydrogen. At first thought this new plan does not seem to be adopted on a large scale, and the discoverers admit that it increases the cost of the milk four or five cents per quart, so that it would not be practical to use except where fresh milk could not be obtained regularly. It is claimed that the milk so treated was successfully kept for seven weeks.—Boston Cultivator. Concrete in Farm Construction Among the uses for concrete enumerated are foundations for houses, barns and windmills, sidewalks, fence posts, water troughs, clisters, tanks, and cespools, floors for house and stable, stairs, well curbs, stalls, hog pens, chicken houses, corncribs, ice houses, incubator cellars, mushroom cellars, hotbed frames, bridge abutments, chimneys, ventilators and hitching posts. In estimating on cost of concrete sufficient broken stone should be provided to fill the whole volume under estimate, since the cement and sand merely fill the voids in the broken stone. By a calculation of the cost of concrete posts it is found that posts can be made for fourteen cents each. This low cost would be possible only when large numbers of posts are made.—The Cultivator. Buying Fertilizers. Forehanded farmers and market gardeners have already bought their year's supply of fertilizers. Any who have not done so should buy at once. As soon as the plans for the year's work are fairly in hand, so that one can estimate the amount of fertilizer required, the order should be placed. There are a good many advantages in buying early. These advantages are especially marked when one buys raw chemicals and mixes his own fertilizers. By the way, this plan of buying and mixing at home is now well established in the best farm and garden practice of the country. Any man who pretends to keep his eyes open and to know how to manage agricultural affairs in the modern way is certainly able to do his own mixing; and the advantages of home mixing of raw materials are very great. The man who has not yet adopted this practice had better look it up at once.—Country Gentleman. Nursery Stock. Many careful farmers and fruit growers have adopted the plan of ordering all nursery stock early in the fall. Many of them insist on a fall delivery of stock, even when the trees are not to be planted out until spring. The majority of small planters undoubtedly still prefer to set trees in the spring. This seems to be a more natural time of the year. While there are some disadvantages in spring planting, it is in many ways convenient, and on the whole it is safe. Nearly all small planters therefore are now looking forward and planning for trees which are to be set this coming April. If those trees have not already been ordered, it is a part of wisdom to make the order at once. This gives the opportunity to say once more that nursery trees should always be bought of nurserymen, never of fruit-tree agents. Reliable nurserymen who grow trees are willing to sell them at a reasonable price, and what is more, they are always willing to be held responsible for their business transactions. On the part of the farmer and gardener, it is wise to buy nursery stock liberally, always getting it from growers. It is wise also to select nursery stock of the better grades, and to order early.—Country Gentleman. Wasting Fertility. In a recent lecture on the wastes of farm fertility, Professor Holden, in a very terse and striking way, showed the importance of feeding as much of the farm products as possible to live stock. He has made a careful study of the matter by analysis, and here is what he said: Every time a farmer sells a ton of wheat, he sells $11.62 in fertility; in a ton of clover hay he sells $8.62 in fertility; in a ton of alfalfa hay he sells $8.63 in fertility; in a ton of oats he sells $7.81 in fertility, and in a ton of corn he sells $6.47 in fertility. If those products be fed on the farm under proper conditions, and the resulting manure be returned to the soil, there is a very slight loss of fertility, for the following finished products may be sold instead: In selling a ton of finished beef on the hoof, the farmer sells but $5.37 in fertility; in a ton of live hogs he sells but $3.75 in fertility; in a ton of milk he sells but $1.48 in fertility; in a ton of the cheese he sells but sixy-nine cents in fertility, and in a ton of butter he sells twenty-seven cents in fertility. The best policy for the family to adopt is that system of corn and crop rotation which will embrace not only the growing of grain, but the breeding and feeding of stock, either for sale in the form of beef or pork, or for the production whether for milk, cheese or butter. Indiana Farmer. The Demand For Good Horses. The increasing demand for good draft horses has awakened fresh interest among breeders who have good dams. The Drovers' Journal in referring to the increasing demands in the Chicago markets says a survey of the horse conditions present an inviting field for intelligent breeders. Demand for all classes of horses for industrial and commercial use was never so broad or prices so remunerative. The fact that farmers have been slow to grasp the situation finds the supply hardly adequate to meet the increasing demand. The outlook justifies continued high prices until the surplus assumes proportions to resume exportation of horses in large volume again. The supply can only be increased by enlarging breeding operations, which, under the most favorable regime, will require half a decade to produce a reasonably large surplus. The fact that the supply of horses is short should not lead to haphaard breeding. Profits in the horse industry will depend on the quality of the horses produced. The best mares should be selected for the harem and the choiceest stallions of all breeds of horses patronized. The stream cannot rise above the jountain and the progeny of sire and dam will inherit the characteristics of their ancestors. The opportunity for large profits in the horse industry was never more promising to the careful breeder that will produce good commercial offerings of all classes. How to Select Poultry. In selecting poultry, the age of the bird is the most important question. In selecting a turkey, remember that a young bird has smooth, shiny black legs, while those of an old bird are rough and reddish. If the bird has been freshly killed, the eyes are full and bright and the feet moist. The combs and legs of a chicken are smooth. In a young fowl and rough in an old one. When selecting geese, see that the bills and feet are yellow and have few hairs on them. If freshly killed the feet should be pliable, for after they have been killed some time they are dry and smooth. Ducks are chosen by their feet, which should be supple. Wild ducks have reddish feet, while those of the tame ducks are yellow. A fresh duck should have a plump, hard breast. Tame pigeons are larger than wild ones and the feet show the age of the bird. They are supple if the bird is young, and stiff if it is old. Pigeons are only good to eat when they are fresh. When they have been kept too long they become fabby and discolored about the under part. Florida Agriculturalist. Treat a cow well and she will do well by you. Milking with wet hands should be avoided; it is not a clean practice. To make at least $10 clear out of your cow, you must have at least $45 profit. Milk that is cooled as soon as drawn from the cow will keep much longer. Fresh cream should not be added to older cream until after it is cooled to fifty degrees. Give a little fine bone meal in the soft food of chicks that are subject to weakness in the leg. It is not a good plan to feed grown up fowls too much soft food; it tends to make them dyspeptic. With hens it is much better to keep the appetite sharp, compelling them to be active and search for food A dust bath almost every day is necessary to the health and happiness of a hen, and she should have it. A chick that is continually chilled seldom amounts to much, because vitality is used up to resist and overcome abuse. The greater the variety of food given to poultry the better, but it should be clean, wholesome, and such as they relish. With the early setting hens at least food should be placed within their easy reach so that they need not be long in quest of it. There are two ways of feeding a variety. One is to feed several kinds of food at one time; the other is to feed one kind a while, then another and another. These two methods combined we believe to be the best plan. TO MAKE WAR MORE HORRIBLE. This government expends a small sum each year for testing new devices of a possible military value. The Board of Ordnance and Fortification is supposed to have the duty of encouraging inventors and assisting in the development of their inventions. Last year only $5000 was expended by the board, which, with its accumulated allotments of previous years, has now on hand more than $100,000. Comparatively few experiments are made, says Harper's Weekly and the vast number of suggestions are apparently shelved without much more attention than polite acknowledgment to the authors. Nearly all the devices submitted are intended to increase the terrors of war by adding to the efficacy of the means of fighting. Perhaps an exception should be made in favor of an ear protector, the invention of a New York man, adapted for use by those who are on duty in the turrets of battleships and those who are stationed at the coast fortifications. Ordinarily the blast of a big gun has an effect upon the drum of the ear; it is at best unpleasant, and sometimes it proves disastrous, as in the instances of men who have lost their hearing. The ear protector is a little celluloid bulb so pierced that it may be placed in the ear and protect it from the noise and shock while not interfering with the hearing, an advantage, of course, over the crude method of stuffing the ears with cotton so that nothing can be heard and when orders can only be appreciated by pantomime. Some of the other inventions which have been favorably received, may be regarded as having a tendency to encourage peace since they would introduce into warfare factors of devastation which would, by their diabolical results promote international disarmament. Of this class must be considered those bomb dropping devices, which, if successful, would destroy whole armies; the inflammable projectile capable of burning up a camp; the nitroglycerine missile; a scheme for pouring burning sulphur into trenches, and kindred methods of wholesale obliteration. There is, too, the usual proportion of armored cars, including the highly protected motor which shall penetrate the enemy's lines and afford its steel shielded occupants a chance to pick off the opposing marksmans and incidentally strengh explosives along a death dealing route. One of these hurting cars makes the famed Juggernaut look like a nursery toy. One of the conditions which seems to be fully met by incipient invention is the use of smoke for various purposes, including that of a shield which will permit approach upon an enemy without his discovery of the advance. The country does not lack yet, with all the cry for universal peace, the means of increasing the ravages of war. Odd Job for a Messenger Boy. "Have you a boy here with good judgment?" asked a woman of the superintendent of a district messenger office. "All our boys have good judgment," said the superintendent. "Then let me have the brightest," said the woman. "I want him to answer a number of advertisements for me. I am going to move. I have cut out the advertisements of a lot of people who keep boarders, but I don't feel like inspecting all those places. I would like the boy to go first and report on price, cleanliness and general appearance. Then I can sift out the few really desirable places and visit them without walking myself to death." "Well!" exclaimed the superintendent. "I thought messengers had been used for every purpose under the sun, but this thing of turning one into a boarding house inspector is a new wrinkle. However, notwithstanding his lack of experience, I have faith in the boy. He'll find a place."—New York Sun. Thrifty Soldiers. The American soldier is not highly paid, yet he is a thrifty chap. Last year 54,260 enlisted men saved and deposited with the paymaster's department $1,495,225. This is a very respectable sum, and represents about 12 per cent of the total pay of all the enlisted men for that perdd. Had every enlisted man made a deposit the average saving for the year would have been $27.50, but that is the least interesting feature of the system. The figures show that the soldier can deposit under the law of 1872, only sums of five dollars and over. As the pay is small, the total deposits for the year show that the saving habit is continuous with many enlisted men—Seattle Times. Chance for Elephant Tamers. In view of the fact that a young African elephant had recently been trained on the Indian model and of the utility of the tamed elephant in India, especially in Burma where they are used in the teak industry to a very large extent, the chairman and vice-chairman of the African trade section of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce have announced their intention of offering a prize of £25 for each of the first ten West African elephants successfully tamed and trained to act as carriers and animals of burden, similar to the elephants in Burma.—Rhodesia Herald.

"Hotel guests, as a rule, are early risers," said Bob Johnson, clerk at the Griswold, the other evening, "and to prove it I can show you the call sheet. You will notice that there are more 7 and 7:30 calls than any other. Beginning at 4 o'clock, which is seldom used, the call sheet is ruled down to 10. About 5:30 the sheet shows a few room numbers, and from that time until 7 o'clock the increase is rapid. After 7 the number decreases until in the last column or two there is hardly even a mark.

Appendicitis is often caused by too much starch in the bowels. Starch is hard to digest and clogs up the digestive machinery—also tends to form cakes in the cecum. (That's the blind pouch at entrance to the appendix). A N. H. girl had appendicitis, but lived on milk for awhile—then Grape-Nuts and got well without an operation. She says: "Five years ago while at school, I suffered terribly with constipation and indigestion." (Too much starch, white bread, potatoes, etc., which she did not digest.) "Soon after I left school I had an attack of appendicitis and for thirteen weeks lived on milk and water. When I recovered enough to eat solid food there was nothing that would agree with me, until a friend recommended Grape-Nuts. "When I began to eat Grape-Nuts I weighed 98 lbs., but I soon grew to 115 lbs. The distress after eating left me entirely and now I am like a new person." (A little Grape-Nuts dissolved in hot water or milk would have been much better for this case than milk alone, for the starchy part of the wheat and barley is changed into a form of digestible sugar in making Grape-Nuts.)

Of these soldiers, 10,000 were picked women, drilled and garrisoned in the city. — Indian Patriot. America's Titian Blondes. Can it be that the decline of the blonde has led to the discovery by Count Herman von Hatzfeldt-Wildenberg that the autumn-haired race of American women leads the world in the natural beauty of that particular type? The Count declares that he saw more beautiful autumn-haired women in Washington than even in Paris, where the Titian tinge is the latest fiat. Rich Children-Poor, Minus Illusions. Children of the rich, who were overwhelmed with avalanches of toys, are becoming such sated little masters that there is no pleasure in giving presents to them, says a woman. "An extraordinary critical mood has developed in the modern child in regard to toyland," she says. "He simply will not make believe and manufacturers of toys have to employ experts to make toy automobiles and French dressmakers to fashion dolly's frocks. Little boys and girls have become sticklers for the "correct thing." There is no glamour over anything for the spoiled child at today. She has found that her $25 doll is stuffed with sawdust. For she has undressed it and seen the sham under its costly plumage."—New York Press. English Dress Models. The girl who is lurky enough to be the possessor of a really fine figure can, if all other trades fail, easily earn a livelihood by becoming a costume model in one of the large and fashionable dressmaking establishments which abound in the metropolis. The usual rate of payment in a really first class house is five shillings a day, or thirty shillings a week, rising in time to two pounds a week. In order to obtain work of this description, experience is, of course, more or less necessary; it is not enough that the aspirant to such a post should be attractive looking, and well set up, says Home Char. Costume models need training, and many hours have to be spent before a large mirror in order that a good carriage—which is essential if a beautiful gown is to be shown off to the greatest advantage—may be contained. A graceful walk is another thing that the girl who wishes to take up this kind of work would do well to cultivate. George Eliot's Charm. As I look at a picture of George Eliot, showing full the familiar unmitigated inginess of her. I recall what a French woman, met abroad, and who had often seen the great George during a stay in England, said to her. She was, it seems, while totally without beauty, irresistibly fascinating to men. When she appeared, legatures were deserted. She dressed with absolute independence, regardless of grace or mode, was almost invariably shrouded in a plain gray robe straight up and down, corsetless. Yet her charm over men was of extraordinary strength. A count always surrounded her, and all efforts at rivalry were futile. She herself cared only for men's conversation, frankly scorned her sex as too little for her, showed her contemptuous avoidance of women openly. She had charm. Hers was the sway which from immemorial time, has shown that when the ugly woman of charm appears, the beauty need but haul down her flag at mournful half-mast. For the greatest of these is charm.—Lowell Coulter-Citizen. Kissing. Who is not tempted to kiss a sweet little baby? And yet indiscriminate kissing should not be permitted by the child's mother. If more people realized the danger there is to the child when coming in contact with an impure breath, and that diseases such as tuberculosis, diphtheria, tonsilitis and others are easily transmissible through kissing, they would be more careful and not kiss a baby on the mouth. It does seem a great deprivation not to be able to kiss the baby, but all fair-minded people will realize that it is far better and safer to kiss the baby on the forehead or hand than to run any risk, and they will carry out this practice. The little soft spot on top of the baby's head is called the fontanel. This is an opening caused by the bones of the cranium, which have not yet closed, and which will not be perfectly closed until the end of the first year, and perhaps not before the eighteenth month. This opening pulsates as the heart beats, and as it is a most vital spot the greatest care much be exercised not to touch it roughly or knock it. If at the end of two years the fontanel has not closed, medical attention should be called to the fact, for in all likelihood something is wrong. The Circle. importance of Early Influences A prominent lecturer, speaking the other day before a large club composed primarily of mothers and teachers, summarized his subject by saying: "The infancy of every human being under favrable conditions is full of inspiration, which acts in the consciousness long before it has sound words to express its exalted and nourished emotions." And she concluded by quoting that comprehensive statement by Froebel, the great child educator, "The whole later life of man even so the moment when he shall leave it again, has its pure or impure, gentle or violent, quick or impulse, industrious or indolent, rich or poor in deeds, passed in dull stupor or in keen creativeness, in stupid wonder or intelligent insight, producing or destroying the bringer of harmony or discord, of war or peace. His future relations to father and mother, to the members of the family, to society and mankind, to mature and to God depend chiefly upon his mode of life at this period; for the child's life, in and with himself his family, nature and God, is at yet a unit. A woman may lose her looks, her health, her hold upon the present; she may be for the time utterly harrowed down by the demands and cares of maternity and children," added the lecturer, herself a married woman and mother, "yet in her training of human destinies and divine souls she is living a tar fuller, life than the woman who is unmarried and free, who is developing her individuality and adding to her attainment." - New York Tribune. Compensations of Spinsterhood. Harper's Bazar, that champion of women, has taken up the cudgels in behalf of the spinner. In a late number of the Bizar, Miss Anne O'Malagan points out as follows some of the modern spinner's advantages: "There is another way in which the sidetrack of spinnerhood makes those who follow it a slight recompense for what they have missed on the highroad. One of George Meredith's nifty old maids stated: Asked why she had not married, she replied, not with a sentimentalism of lovers, lost by death or doubting, but with an epigram. She found more use, she said, for twenty shillings than for a sovereign. "Now whether or not an unmarried woman really prefers twenty chillings to a sovereign, it is generally possible for her, in this day and generation, to give them. She does not have one man to love and cherish her; but she may have the friendship, the cordial esteem and interest of half a dozen. She does not have one to pay her dressmaker, her hatter, her shoeman, and the rest; but she may have half a store for less serviceable uses—half a score who send her books, flowers, tickets, who walk, play golf, drive, skate, talk, with her. One man does not come to her for the deep understanding of his needs; many may come with their quite serious interests. Her sincere, enjoyable, stimulating, friendly relations with men, as with women, are limited only by her own power of intellectual sympathy—at any rate, in those circles which admit any basis of companionship between men and women beyond the emotional." --- The Queen of England Cannot "Shop." That royalty is subject to many drawbacks unexperienced by the general mass of people is the theme of the Marquise de Fonteynon in a recent contribution to the New York Tribune. As one example of this she points out that the Queen of England is unable to experience the delicate, terminine thrills which a shopping tour causes the ordinary woman. She says that Queen Victoria lived and died without ever having looked in at a shop window, from the time when she succeeded to the throne as a young girl. Caly a woman can appreciate what this means, for none but members of her sex can gauge the charms of shopping, which are so utterly incomprehensible to the masculine portion of mankind. As a little girl she was occasionally allowed to do some shopping at the small stores at Kensington, in the vicinity of Kensington Palace, where her earlier years were spent. But when King William came to the throne and attempted to continue his unconventional ways in going about alone in the streets, he was on several occasions so severely mobbed that he not only resolved to show himself no more in any public thoroughfare on foot, but likewise insisted that the other members of the royal family should adopt a similar reserve. It was then that the custom was initiated of having shopkeepers submit their wares to royalty at the latter's palaces, and while from that time on Queen Victoria would have periodical exhibitions of jewelry, hues, cte, at, Windsor, at Osborne, and at Buckingham Palace, to enable her to make a choice, she was necessarily restricted to the taste of the tradesman, and was deprived of the satisfaction of making, her own selection from the whole of his stock as displayed in his shop, and of going something to strike her fancy. Queen Alexandra is handicapped in the same way in England, and it is only when she is abroad in France or in Italy, and comparatively unknown, that she is able to indulge in shipping to her heart's content, without let or hindrance.

Or, do you want to know, something of the composition and character of that which you take into your stomach whether as food or medicine?

So he publishes headlines and on each bottle wrapper, what his medicines are made of and verifies them easily. This he feels he can well afford to do because the more the ingredients of which his medicines are made are studied and understood the more will their superior curative virtues be appreciated.

MRS HENRY LEE Owing to modern methods of living not one woman in a thousand approaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very annoying and sometimes painful symptoms. This is the most critical period of her whole existence and every woman who neglects the care of her health at this time invites disease and pain. when her system is in a deranged condition or she is predisposed to apoplexy or compaction of any organ, the tendency is at this level likely to become active and with a boost of nervous irritations make life a burden. At this time also cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, backaches, melancholia, dread of impending evil, palpitation of the heart, irregularities, constipation and dizziness are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period of life when this great change may be expected. 2 Mrs. Fred Certia, 1014 So.

NOW UP TO COMMISSION After Two Days of Strenuous Argument Hearing at Atlanta is Closed and Whole Matter is Taken Under Advisement. After consuming two entire days in argument before the state railroad commission of Georgia, the petition of the Farmers' Union, asking for a reduction of passenger rates, was taken under advisement by the commission at 7 o'clock Wednesday night, at which hour the argument for the petitioners was concluded by Hooper Alexander. Possibly the distinctive feature of the hearing was the lengthy report of S. H. Hardwick, general traffic manager of the Southern, who declared that if reduced rates were imposed the Southern would be compelled to abandon double tracking between Atlanta and Birmingham improvements which were now imperative. Mr. Hardwick submitted a statement, showing that the Southern's average rate in Georgia, as the result of reduced rates for special occasions, was only 2 3-10 cents per mile. Mr. Hardwick's address abounded in figures and was by far the most important showing by the railroads. Charles I. Stone of the Louisville and Nashville, also submitted a long report of the conditions of his road in Georgia. His figures showed a deficit along the line for the years it has operated in the state and laid particular stress on the fact that it was not fair to impose a low rate in a state so sparsely settled as Georgia; that it amounted to confiscation. During Mr. Stone's speech some merriment was caused by the fact that Hon. Hooper Alexander, attorney for the petitioners, fell asleep and did not awake until its conclusion. Colonel A. L. Lawton of Savannah appeared for the Central of Georgia; Robert Alston appeared for the Atlantic Coast Line, and John D. Little appeared for the Seaboard Air Line. Hon. Hooper Alexander's speech lacked anything sensational. He did not attack the railroads and confined himself to a plain statement of his side of the case. He contended that the public should share in the railroads' prosperity; that the roads were, not the great promoters of commerce they pretended to be and in many cases retarded industry. He also criticized the manner in which Atlanta was discriminated against in the matter of freight rates. He disclaimed any political intent and said he was acting purely in a business capacity. R. F. Duckworth, for the Farmers' Union, concluded with a brief denial that the union was inspired by motives of politics. FIREBUGS. RUN TO EARTH. Three Negroes Caught in Crime Are Chased by Bloodhounds: Caught in the act of setting fire to the stables of Mr. S. M. Garrison, who lives near Charlotte, N.

FAKE REPORT IS NAILED. Barrett Will Not Sail for Europe in Company With Jordan. National President C. S. Barrett of the Farmers' Union will not sail for Europe in company with President Harvie Jordan of the Southern Cotton Association, as reported, nor have there been any steps taken looking to any sort of a combination of interests between the Farmers' Union and the Southern Cotton Association. RAILROAD IN U. S. COURT. Two Receivers Appointed, for the Chattanooga Southern. Upon the presentation of a petition by the Pacific Construction company, a corporation under the laws of the state of California, Judge Pardee of the United States court has placed the Chattanooga Southern railroad in the hands of two receivers. The Chattancoga Southern is a line of eight-five miles extending from Chattanooga, in the state of Tennessee, to Gadsden, in Alabama. PARTY RATE FOR PUBLIC. Interstate Commerce Commission Renders Far-Reaching Decision. A far-reaching decision was rendered by the interstate commerce commission at Washington Tuesday respecting "party rate tickets." Various railroads of the country have been going on the theory that such tickets applied only to theatrical or amusement companies. The commission, however, rules that the tickets must be opened to the use of the general public. POLICE GUARD TILLMAN. Senator Delivers Characteristic Lecture in Pittsburg, Pa.—Some Excitement, But No Trouble. As a precautionary measure twenty-two detectives and a squad of uniformed policemen were stationed in the Carnegie Music Hall at Pittsburg, Pa., Wednesday night, during the address of Senator Benjamin R. Tillman of South Carolina who discussed the race problem before the Park Avenue (Allegheny) Athletic Club. Several incidents occurred, but no trouble resulted. There were but ten negroes in the audience, which filled the music hall to overflowing. At the close of the address, in which he declared the races in the south were gradually becoming more opposed to one another, Senator Tillman called for a vote of the audience as to whether the negro was the equal of the white man. The entire audience, except the ten negroes, voted in the negative. One man took exceptions to Tillman's remarks, and made several interruptions. Tillman made him admit he came from Europe, and he bitterly denounced Europeans who undertake to judge questions concerning this country. In discussing whether the negro can be educated, Senator Tillman declared that Booker T. Washington was the harbor of refuge and safety to which people flee when other places fall, and that Booker T. Washington was but one negro in ten million and was half white at that. REPUBLICANS IN SOUTH Are Solid for Roosevelt According to Report of Hitchcock. First Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock returned to Washington Wednesday from the south, where he has been for the past week, primarily on an inspection tour of the southern post offices. Mr. Hitchcock-said he had only just learned that his trip had been given a political significance in newspapers in the north, in which the statement appeared that he was on a mission for the president to ascertain first hand regarding any new direction in the republican sentiment in the south. Mr. Hitchcock denied with emphasis that President Roosevelt directed his movements. "It is true," he continued, "that while my trip was practically one of inspection and one which I had planned months ago, I discussed politics to some extent. This was only natural, as I was called on by many southern republicans officially connected with the government and otherwise interested. "I saw no evidence to justify published reports of disaffection in the ranks of some of the republicans in the south, such as organization of opposing movements and that sort, a thing we have been hearing about for some time. "In the states I visited, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, the republicans are in hearty accord with the administration. They are Roosevelt men through and through." RECEIVERSHIP IN TENNESSEE For Chattanooga Southern Confirmed by Local Courts. The receivership for the Chattanooga Southern railway created in Atlanta Tuesday by order of Judge Jon A. Pardee of the United States circuit court for Georgia and Alabama, was affirmed in the federal court in Chattanooga Wednesday as to Tennessee, auxiliary proceedings having been instituted in that city to confirm the appointment made there.

Lyle was one of the coolest persons in the court room when he made his statement. JILTED WOMAN USED GUN. Killed Recreant Swetheart and Then Committed Suicide. Thaddeus S.

Middleton's Cornet Band—Mr. Ja. Middleton, Conductor. Among the Masons. The grand lodge meets on Tuesday, June 11, at 9 o'clock, at Americus, Ga. The usual reduced rate has been granted for the Grand Lodge Communication. Each Lodge in the Jurisdiction is expected to be represented. In rendering reports, each secretary must write plainly and be sure to have the figures balanced and the correct amount of fees forwarded. Reports that are not correct will be returned. All grand lodge reports and fees must be forwarded by the grand secretary not later than May 1st. Assessment for the Home must be sent to Brother Spencer and not to the grand secretary. "We have work at every communication," boast some masters. Oh, indeed. How much time do you devote to the poor, the sick, the distressed? What are you doing to purge your lodge of unworthy material? What is your lodge doing in the way of charity? What are you doing, my brother, outside of getting new members? Is your lodge elevating the standard of Masonry? These are the really important questions. Friendship is an attachment that proceeds from such acquaintance as results in a favorable opinion of the uprightness, integrity and moral honesty of its object and if these qualities are lacking, friendship vanishes for want of proper object in which to confide, for there can be no friendship without confidence, no confidence without integrity, and no integrity without morality; and when friendship withdraws its kindly offices for just cause, brotherly love must go with it, and the tie that binds is broken. Then, brethren, let us study more closely the important lessons taught by that significant and suggestive symbol, the compass.—Masonic Advocate. Ruth was a gleaner. She was not permitted to reap, gather and bind the grain in bundles and bring it home in sheaves. She could only have handfuls, but she received them dutifully, gracefully and thankfully, and proved herself a true heroine. She knew it not, but her fame was to be as lasting as time. The Order of the Eastern Star is dedicated to charity, truth and loving kindness, and all its members are to exemplify those excellencies. Thus they are to demonstrate the wisdom and beauty of the order, and further its well doing and prosperity. All over the state the several chapters O. E. S. on Sunday last held public services.
