VOL. XXII. PEACE IS BOOSTED By President in Address at Jamestown Exposition. OUR HISTORY IS TRACED Mighty Task of America's Early Settlers Is Graphically Set Forth. Virginia's Fight for Life President Roosevelt opened his address at the Jamestown exposition by extending cordial greetings to the representatives of foreign countries present, showing America's intimate connection with practically every nation and race on the globe, and also making a plea for universal peace. Along this line he said: "We have met today to celebrate the opening of the exposition, which itself commemorates the first permanent settlement of men of our stock in Virginia, the first beginning of what has since become this mighty republic. "Three hundred years ago a handful of English adventurers, who had crossed the ocean in what we should now call cockleboats, as clumsy as they were frail, landed in the great wooded wilderness, the Indian-haunted waste, which then stretched down to the water's edge along the entire Atlantic coast. "They were not the first men of European race to settle in what is now the United States, for there were already Spanish settlements in Florida and on the headwaters of the Rio Grande; and the French, who at almost the same time were struggling up the St. Lawrence, were likewise destined to form permanent settlements on the great lakes and in the valley of the mighty Mississippi before the people of English stock went westward of the Alleghenies. "Moreover, both the Dutch and the Swedes were shortly to found colonies—those that grew up around the Potomac, and those that grew up on what is now the New England coast. Nevertheless, this landing at Jamestown possesses for us of the United States an altogether peculiar significance and this without regard to our several origins. "The men who landed at Jamestown and those who, thirteen years later, landed at Plymouth, all of English stock, and their fellow-settlers who during the next few decades streamed in after them, were those who took the lead in shaping the life history of this people in the colonial and revolutionary days. It was they who bent into definite shape our nation while it was still young enough most easily, most readily, to take on the characteristics which were to become part of its permanent life habit. "Yet let us remember that while this early English colonial stock has left deeper than all others upon our national life the mark of its strong twin individualities, the mark of the Cavaller and of the Puritan—nevertheless this stock, not only from its environment, but also from the presence with it of other stocks, almost from the beginning, began to be differentiated strongly from an European people. As I have already said, about the time the first English settlers landed here, the Frenchman and the Spaniard, the Swede and the the Ducthman, also came hither as permanent dwellers, who left their seed to inherit our national life. The German, the Irishman, and the Scotchman came later, but still in colonial times. "All through the colonial days new waves of immigration from time to time swept hither across the ocean, now from one country, now from another. The same thing has gone on ever since our birth as a nation; and for the last sixty years the tide of immigration has been at the full. The newcomers are soon absorbed into our eager national life, and are radically and profoundly changed thereby, the rapidity of their assimilation being marvelous. But each group of newcomers, as it adds its blood to the life, also changes it somewhat, and this change and growth and development have gone on steadily, generation by generation, throughout three centuries." He dwelt at length on the enormous nature of the task which the first settlers of America faced when they set foot on our shores. Especially, said he, was this the case with the ploner settlers at Jamestown, who were from the start menaced by famine, pestilence and war. He went on to show that other portions of America were not settled until after the Jamestown ploneers had begun to prosper. The Savannah Tribute. WITHIN EIGHT YEARS Panama Canal Will Be Doing Business, Prophecies Taft, In Ad- "If the Panama canal is not completed within eight years from now, I shall be greatly disappointed. If it is completed in less time than that, I shall not be greatly surprised." This statement made Monday night by Secretary of War Taft before the Business Men's Club of Cincinnati brought forth uproarious cheers, the 600 members of the club who were gathered inside the banquet hall rising to their feet and cheering the statement and the speaker with tremendous enthusiasm. Referring to the rejection of bids by contractors the secretary said: "We advertised for bids on the canal work, and then declined them for the reason that we found that it would be necessary for the contractors to have the help of capitalists and we would be compelled to allow to the contractors seven per cent interest on the money they would be compelled to borrow from the capitalists. As we could borrow money at 2 per cent, this 7 per cent proposition did not appeal greatly to us. "I wish to pay a high compliment to Chief Engineer Stevens for his work in connection with the canal and also for his efforts to transfer to the government the entire organization on the Isthmus, which he had perfected at such great labor. "To us in responsibility, it is a great comfort to be able to introduce the army engineers upon the work. We have three of them there and if one of them falls out, the continuity of the work will be undisturbed. It is only fair to say of the army engineers that there will be no graft that they can suppress and there will be no bad work accepted that they can supervise. No doubt engineers from civil life would act in a similar manner, but if any of you gentlemen have ever managed a work of magnitude where everybody had the right to poke in his nose and insist upon this and that, you would know how great is the relief to have that done away with. The record of the army for the last fifty years is a guarantee that the work will be capable and honestly performed." PRINTER FILLED WITH LEAD. Brother Applies "Unwritten Law" in Defense of Sister. Charging that he had betrayed his sister, an eighteen-year-old girl, L. D. Strong, manager for Kessler's dry goods store, shot and killed H. D. Smith, a printer in Macon, Ga., Monday. The shooting occurred at Smith's printing office. Four bullets from Strong's pistol taking effect. Smith was hurried to the hospital, but died shortly after reaching there. He made a statement before his death, but falted before he could sign it. He said in that statement that Strong had shot him about his sister, but that he was innocent of the charge. Strong surrendered and was carried to the police station. Strong contends that Smith, who is a married man, and who is survived by his wife and several children, had betrayed his sister. A warrant had been sworn out for Smith and the trial was to have taken place Monday morning in a justice court. But owing to the absence of Joe Hill Hall, attorney for Smith, the case was continued. Both Strong and Smith left the court room a few minutes later, so the report goes, and Strong passed Smith's office. Smith, it is claimed, made some taunting remark, and Strong thereupon pulled a pistol and fired four times, every shot taking effect. At the city hospital Monday afternoon, Coroner T. E. Young completed his investigation of the killing. The jury returned a verdict declaring that it was a case of justifiable homicide, and there was no time lost in acquitting Strong. RESPECT PRESIDENT'S OFFICE. Sensible Action Taken by Labor Union at St. Louis. The Central Trades and Labor Union of St. Louis Sunday refused to endorse a resolution by the pattern makers' organization attacking President Roosevelt for his denunciation of Moyer and Haywood, officers of the Western Federation of Miners, charged with complicity in the murder of ex-Governor Steuenenberg. Members of the Central Labor body declared "No matter what we think of Roosevelt, we must, as good citizens, respect the office of chief magistrate of our republic." SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MAY 4. 1907. IMMIGRANT LINE From European Ports to Savannah Now Assured. ARRANGED BY GEORGIANS Visit of Messrs. Smith, Jordan and Williamson to Orient Bears Fruit. Prejudice Against the South is Removed.. A London special says: After a tour of the continent, during which visits were made to Hamburg, Bremen, Vienna and other places with the object of Inducing emigration to Georgia, Governor Hoke Smith and party are making a brief sojourn here. Governor Smith told the Associated Press today that his trip had been successful, and that he had succeeded in removing, much prejudice against emigration to the southern states. He said he had been promised that a number of ships would sail direct from European ports to Savannah and that others would make Savannah a port of call. Some good work had been done in Scotland, whence the stream of emigration to Georgia already had started. Governor Smith said it was his intention to appoint agents at Hamburg, Bremen, Vienna, Glasgow and other ports to encourage desirable emigrants. The governor and his party will sail for New York tomorrow. The entertainments planned by the American colony were not carried out, owing to the brevity of the visit here, but he met many Aniericans, and was a guest in the distinguished strangers' gallery of the house of commons today, and also visited, the house of lords. STATUS OF LABOR UNIONS In Relation to Railroads to Be Decided by U. S. Supreme Court. The constitutionality of the act of congress of June 1, 1893, prohibiting railroads engaged in interstate commerce from discriminating against members of labor organizations in the matter of employment, is called into question by the case of William Adair vs. the United States, which was docketed Tuesday in the supreme court of the United States. The case was appealed on a writ of error from the United States district court for the eastern district of Kentucky. Adair is the master mechanic of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, and he was proceeded against on the charge of threatening to discharge from the employ of the company a locomotive engineer named Coppage because the latter was a member of the Order of Locomotive Firemen. The law, which resulted from the Chicago strikes of several years ago, was invoked for Coppage's protection, and the district court fined Adair $100. A DEGREE OF BREAKING RECORD Month of April Coldest in the Last Twenty Six Years. According to the weather bureau records at Washington, the month just closed was the coldest April in the last twenty-six years, and within a degree of the coldest April ever experienced. The month was characterized by a succession of cold spells over the entire country east of the Rocky mountains. SLEW HUSBAND, SON AND SELF. Demented Woman in Providence, R. I., Runs Amuck. At Providence, R. L. Tuesday night, Mrs. Louis Holden, aged 40, shot and almost instantly killed her husband, Lee Holden, then turned the revolver on her son, Louis, 15 years old, shooting him in the head, inflicting a fatal wound. She then shot herself in the head, dying at the hospital. Case Is Before United States Supreme Court for Adjudication. The question whether retail drugists have a right to sell patent medicines below a price established by the manufacturers is involved in the case of Hartman and Company, patent medicine manufacturers of Onio, against John D. Park and Sons Company, of Kentucky, in which a petition was presented to the supreme court of the United States Monday asking that court to bring the case up for review. PICKPOCKETS WERE BUSY Slick-Fingered Gentry Reaped a Rich Harvest at Jamestown—Georgia Commissioner a Victim. Returns from the operations of pickpockets during the opening day of the Jamestown exposition are being received by the Norfolk police. There are many cases of course which will never be brought to the attention of the authorities. The Powhatan Guards picked up many drunks, and quite a bunch of suspicious characters. W. N. Mitchell, a Virginian by birth, president of the Georgia commission to the exposition and a close personal friend of President Roosevelt, was relieved of his wallet containing $66, while on a trolley car en route to the exposition grounds. So deflyt, was the work done that the wallet was not missed until the owner had occasion to go into it for some bills while taking in the sights. R. C. Parks of North Carolina is making loud, bitter and vindictive complaints over having purchased from a stranger. For $2,000, the Citizen's Bank building, on Main street; the skyscraper of which Norfolk is so proud. The story of Parks is that he was standing on the street admiring the building when a well-dressed and most pleasant spoken man approached him with the remark that he owned the building, which he desired badly to sell because of his urgent need for ready money. He said that he would take $2,000 for the property. Parks was much interested, and after being shown through the corridors offered to give $1,500. The stranger, however, who gave the name of H. L. Holmes, declined to accept this sum. It was arranged that Parks should pay $800 down and be accorded a long length of time in which to meet the deferred payments. Parks, having nearly $1,000 with him, peeled the $800 off his roll, and handed it to the affable stranger, who made a precipitate retreat. It was not until several hours later that the North Carolina learned that he had been swindled. MISTRIAL IN LYLE CASE. Two Jurymen Stubborn and Refused to Listen to Arguments Just after noon Friday amstrial was declared in Ware county court at Waycross, Ga., in the case of H. E. Lyle, charged with the murder of his wife and baby, last January. The foreman of the jury declared to the judge that ten members of the jury stood for one verdict, and two for another, and that the two members declined to listen to arguments in the matter. The foreman charged the jurors with having made up their minds before entering the jury box, and claimed that they were prejudiced in favor of the defense. * Judge Parker dismissed the jury, and declared that court would hold over until next week, and that Lyle would then be tried again. Ten jurymen were for, hanging Lyle and two were for life imprisonment.* CREDITED TO THE "BIG STICK." Honor of Peace Treaty Accorded to Teddy by Nicaragua. President Zelaya of Nicaragua has given to President Roosevelt personally the credit of having brought about peace in Central America in the following telegram: "Managua, Nicaragua, April 25. President Roosevelt: Peace signed day before yesterday (Tuesday) at Amalapala. I thank your excellence for your great work toward achieving that happy end. LABBOR, MEN AROUSED. Raising Gain With Roosevelt Anent Haywood-Moyer Case. The indignation of labor men throughout the country at the reiterated expressions of President Roosevelt. condemning Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone was greater Friday than even immediately after the publication of the president's views. A strong statement was male by the executive committee of the New York Moyer-Haywood protest conference. MAMMOTH SUIT IS SETTLED. Half a Million Dollars Paid to Paine, Webster & Co. The $3,000,000 suit in equity brought by Paine, Webster & Co., against Albert C. Burrage, Thomas W. Lawson and others, to recover on a contract involving 70,000 shares of stock in the Copper Range Consolidated Mining company has been brought to a settlement out of court at Boston. The case was settled by A. C. Burrage paying substantially the TriMountain debt. The amount of this debt was $540,000. JORDAN ATTACKED By Chattanooga Tradesman in Caloric Article Well Known Journal Alleges That President of Southern Cotton Association is in Hands of Ma- Commenting upon the removal of the headquarters of the Southern Cotton Association from Atlanta to Birmingham, the Tradesman, (Chattanooga), the best known industrial publication south of Baltimore, says that "Mr. Harvie Jordan has been playing Birmingham against Atlanta, and this is so transparent that it is astonishing the fact seems to be overlooked at the Birmingham end. Some of the methods which this modern mogul of finance' uses to exploit his schemes are so patent on their face they would be extremely ridiculous if they were not so dangerous." Commenting upon the warehouse receipt system recently promulgated at the Birmingham meeting, in which movement the Farmers' Union refused to join, the Tradesman, among other things, says: "It does not seem possible, however, for Mr. Jordan to keep out of the toils of schemers, or to hold in check those promptings of his inner consciousness that are so constantly leading him into the most glaring inconsistencies and paths of danger, and disaster to his blinded followers. "Just consider for a moment those policies which he aided in fastening on the cotton farmers that permitted the marketing of a large portion of the crop of 1905 at medium prices and then playing into the hands of speculators for higher prices when the farmers had parted with their product. Why, it was one of the most notorious of these speculators, and the very chief of 'hot-air artists' in America, who boldly and publicly proclaimed his admiration of Harvie Jordan, so much so that he said he had 'given him $20,000 for his plan to buy up cotton for higher prices.' This was at the meeting of the Southern Cotton Association held in Birmingham in January last. Does any cotton farmer know the result of that 'deal?' Did any of the profits go into the treasury of the Southern Cotton Association for which Mr. Jordan was presumed to be acting? Oh, no—for that association was so near bankrupt that Mr. Jordan would not consent to accept renomination unless it was better financed. "At this writing he is in Birmingham for the purpose of establishing there a great 'system' of warehouses that would have one parent 'stock' there with 'branches' all over the south. The cotton of the farmers is to be stored in these warehouses, and for which they are to be given 'warrants,' or certificates. "This scheme has been made so attractive to some of the most prominent of his followers that they are trying to form a great southern cotton exchange to deal in these warrants. "The Tradesman endorsed in 1905 the only warehouse plan that seems feasible or desirable, and that was known as the 'Waco' plan, and this is now in successful operation all over Texas. Under that plan the farmer needs no one to help him except his local banker. He puts his cotton in his own warehouse, under his own control, and that is the best collateral he can give for any loans he may require—better than any kind of a 'warrant'—and then he can sell as suits him and to the manufacturer direct if he wishes. That plan is well established. It is very simple and very efficient. The Jordan plan cannot improve or supersede it, because it is not in the real interest of the farmer, but it is another form for promoting gambling, the very thing:Mr. Jordan is fighting. THIS CORPORATION BOOMS. Georgia Railway and Electric Company Files Annual Tax Returns. The annual returns of the Georgia Railway and Electric company of Atlanta filed Tuesday with the comptroller general show a total valuation of that company's property of $3,712,368.63, of which $1,523,355 is for franchise. The company's return shows an increase of $207,881.98 over the returns made for 1906, the returns for last year having aggregated $3,504,436.65. NO.32 GRAFTERS CORRALLED. Probe Into Pennsylvania State House Scandal Brings to Light Wholesale Bribery to Conceal Misdeeds. Testimony of a sensational character involving the names of prominent Pennsylvania politicians, was adduced Tuesday afternoon, during the examination by the capitol investigating commission at Harrisburg of ex-Representative S. Marshall Williams of Pittsburg, who is alleged to have accepted $10,000 to keep quiet after he had been refused by John H. Sanderson of Philadelphia, general contractor for the capitol furnishings, a snare of the $2,000,000 award for electrical fixtures for the building. Senator Dewalt asked Williams if he had not instructed the Pennsylvania state board of trade, of which he is secretary, to pay Congressman Cassell $425, the amount of money that had been previously referred to as secured by witness from the unknown party. Williams admitted that it was true as to the $425. "Is Congressman Cassell the man who advanced you the $10,000?" asked the senator. "I refuse to, answer," replied the witness. "But it was a national official who did so, was it not?" "Yes." "Will you deny that it was Congressman Cassell who did so?" In no way could the commission get Williams to admit that Cassell was the party in question. H. Burd Cassell is a member of congress from the Lancaster district and is president of the Pennsylvania Construction company of Marletta, which furnished the $2,000,000 worth of metallic furniture for the capitol. Under further examination about the $10,000 transaction, Williams declared the money was secured for use in the campaign by the board of trade and the "homeless twenty-six," of which he is also secretary, organizations that were interested in the fight for the two-cent fare and trolley freight legislation. AGED COUPLE MURDERED. Negro Fiend Does Bloody Work Near Fernandina, Fla. Thomas Johnson and his wife were murdered at Italia, Fla., a small settlement near Fernandina, Tuesday afternoon about 2 o'clock, by a negro. When the aged couple were shot down at their home there were two small negro children nearby, and they hastened to give the information to the home nearest by. They state that Mr. and Mrs. Johnson were in the house when they were shot down by the negro, and that both of them cried for help. Observing the two children, the negro reloaded his shotgun and gave pursuit. The children state that they outran him, and got away. TEMPTING BAIT THROWN OUT. Brownsville Citizens to Offer $1,000 for a Confession. A movement has been started in Brownsville, Texas, towards raising, by popular subscription, $1,000 to be paid as a reward to any soldier or officer of the twenty-fifth infantry who will confess to having participated in the raid on Brownsville in August last, or will give the name and produce the necessary evidence to convict those who are guilty. ENTIRE BLOCK WIPED OUT. Fire in Little Louisiana Town Cut Wide Swath of Destruction. Fire broke out early Tuesday morning in Regal hotel at Leesville, La. and spread rapidly, destroying 18 buildings, in which were located 25 business firms, including the First National bank and Leesville National bank buildings.

A large reduction in the force of the government printing office at Washington was made Tuesday, when Public Printer Stillings announced the dismissal of 204 employees. The public printer states that he was forced to take this action because of the amendments to the laws governing the printing and binding of government reports and congressional documents enacted at the last session of congress causing a falling off of work.

The Only Thing That's No Good When Worn Out is Paper Money—Transmogrifications of Old Shoes—Post-Mortem Glories of the Rabbits and Hares. The housekeepers of Paris throw away $10,000 worth of usable stuff daily or nearly $6,000,000 worth a year; but not a dollar of it is lost. No city of its size in the world has so thorough a salvage system. tons are cut from shoulderblades, also sticks for fanse. Marrow bones make pretty napkin rings, and pincushion frames without much work in the lathe. Outlet bones are used for toothbrush handles. A few years ago, when the municipality first adopted an ordinance requiring the use of metal garbage receptacles, the unofficial salvage corps rose in revolt. Then the discovery was made than 40,000 citizens depended for their livelihood upon the refuse of the city. Their rights were recognized. It was arranged that the chieftensirs, as they call the people who dig through the receptacles, should do so indoors in the early mornings before the', city wagons came around to collect the garbage. They forthwith divided the field among themselves. Each one took possession of a territory. There is no law covering the matter, but the territories came to be regarded as vested rights. They are sold nowadays as a doctor sells his practice, and they fetch from $10 to perhaps $60, depending on the wealth of the quarter. Of course they are not-freeholds. Rent or commission is paid in one way or another. In poor neighborhoods the chiffonier puts the garbage cans out on the sidewalk, thus saving the concerge from having to get out of bed in the chilly dawn to do so. In houses where the pickings are good a few franks a week may have to be paid here and there to hold the circuit. The chiffonier of today has a cart and sometimes a bony neg to draw it. Sometimes he and his wife draw it or maybe the wife alone. He has besides a hovel and a yard somewhere out in the grimiest suburbs. This is where he assorts his gatherings in the forenoon, for sale later in the day to the wholesalers. First of all he sets aside scraps of food for his own use. To a magazine writer who showed disqust uta this one of them struck back. "Don't curl your lips," said he, "you don't know what you eat sometimes yourself. See these crusts? They were a heap of bread crusts in all stages of diplapidation. These are crusts that my horse won't eat. I sell them to the pork dealers at half a cent a pound. They are roasted in a coffee roaster, grindulated in a mill and then used to sprinkle on the top of hams, where they are baked into a nice brown crust. "The pork man sells the black dust that falls from the mill to the charcoal tooth powder makers and the coffee grinders, or you may get it as prime chicory." There was also a great vessel full of coffee grounds. "I have a customer," said the chiffonier, who dries them and reglinds them with 5 percent of fresh coffee, some browned rye and a litured sugar. They they're ready for packing in cartons for retail sale. They make excellent coffee. In another bag there was a collection of heads of game birds, pheasants, partridges, pigeons, reed, birds. "I sell them at three cents each to second class restaurants," was the explanation. "When you get a salmf of duck' or a game pie goodness knows what odds and ends it is made of, but it will be served with one or two of my figureheads decorating the dish as an evidence of good faith." One of the most profitable species of refuse is old shoes; nothing in them goes to waste. There are wholesalers who specialize in them. They are carefully dissected. Wooden heels are sold for kindling. Soles are carefully detached from uppers and trimmed into new soles. A man's can be cut down to a woman's size, a woman's to a child's. Some manufacturers make a specialty of these restorations. A new slab of leather makes them look all right outside, a thin lining is pasted over them inside. The manufactures pay the wholesalers a cent each for such soles. There are sixty wholesalers engaged in this trade; they employ from ten to a dozen men each at $1 a day. They produce, it is estimated, 500,000 soles a year. The shoes are entirely taken apart. The nails, heels taps and eyelets, if any, are allowed to fall on the floor. When they are swept up the iron is separated simply by applying strong matches to the mass. It is sent to one smelter as scrap and the brass goes to another. The useless leather scraps are sold to chemical work at livery, where they are converted into fertilizers. So sweeping is the salvage work of this industry that the parings of horses' hooves from the blacksmiths' shops are 'collected to the extent of 600,000 pounds a year'. The volume of leather scrap is estimated at 3,600,000 pounds. From 40,000 to 50,000 pounds of bones daily are collected in yards in the suburbs, where they undergo a rigid examination. Men shovel them on a long endless belt of leather a couple of feet wide, which is kept running at a moderate speed over rollers. Five or six women are lined up beside it, and the bones pass them they pounce with trained judgment upon those which have special value. The rest are automatically loaded on carts. The bones which they select figure all over the world later as ivory. But tons are cut from shoulderplades, also sticks for fance. Marrow bones make pretty napkin rings, and pincushion frames without much work in the lathe. Cutlet bones are used for toothbrush handles. The rejected bones are treated with benzine for the extraction of the fats. This becomes, soap and candles. The bones themselves may be boiled up into gelatine and glue or calcined into boneblack. Rabbit and hare are favorite delicacies in France. Every day, it is estimated, about 15,000 of their skins get into the hands of the furriers. All are scrupulously cleaned and sterilized. These are shaved by machinery down to the very skin and the hair is made up into fine felt hats. the rabbit or hare skin that is to figure as fur is treated with distinguished consideration. It is cured and softened. The pure white are picked out for ermine. All the others are dyed into chinchilla, otter or silver fox. As the fur of these animals almost has a characteristic depth, the skins are passed through shaving machines which trim down the hair to the standard length, to a hundredth of an inch. It appears that the hare of no country equals that of France in its fitness for this sort of counterfeit. The best skins when made up can be detected only by experts. Every year on the first four days of Holy Week the "Flea Fair" is held in Paris. At this 2000 brokers who buy from the chifioniers install themselves for nearly two miles along the sidewalks or the Boulevard Richard-Lenoll and the Canal St. Martin. There is nothing in the way of worn out metal work, broken furniture and old fabrics that cannot be found there on sale. They sell out their entire stock, too. Of course, waste paper is sent to the paper mills from Paris as elsewhere—21,000 pounds of it daily at 20 cents a hundred pounds. Linen and cotton rags go the same way. Sardine boxes and other fins are sold by chiffoniers at 60 cents a hundred pounds and treated chemically for the sake of the tin. The plates are hammered flat and used by the toy makers and makers of button moulds. Gilt china and glass fragments sell at 60 cents a hundred pounds. The gold is salvaged by chemical process. Only one thing in Paris is totally useless when it reaches the refuse stage. That thing is paper money. It is true that the worn out money of the bank of France is ground into pulp like any other waste paper, but It is so greasy from handling that it would not pay to cleanse it for remanufacture.—New York Sun. MONEY IN PHEASANTS. Breeders of the Beautiful Birds Make Handsome Profits. "One proof of the fact that there is no country under the sun with so many people of wealth as ours," said the game fancier, "is found in the large number of English pheasants imported to this country. "In 1904 the number was one hundred and fifty thousand, and these were all for table use. Last year an increase of about 10 percent in this number was reported. The pheasant is a table luxury, and in England, France, Germany and Belgium they are reared by the thousands. "In America breeding is but in its infancy. In ten years, however, we may be producing enough to supply the local demand, and prices will be cheaper than now. The cheapest one can be purchased for now is about $2. and from that figure up to $10 to $15 is demanded." "The English and the Mongolian phaeasants are game birds, and an increasing demand for them for preserves of clubs and wealthy owners of country seats is noted. We have one breeder in the East who supplies from two to three thousand a season, and he has to import many in order to fill all his orders. "The phaeasant is a beautiful bird and by no means difficult to rear or breed. "The plumage is in good demand for millinery purposes. Taxidermists pay as high as $5 and $10 for the skins of the best marked birds. "There are varieties of phaeasants that are purely ornamental. They appeal neither to the cook nor to the hunter. "Pheasantas cost most in the winter months. About September 1 the breeder adds 10 percent to his price. This holds good until April, when they quit laying. The pheasant is as hardy and is easily reared as the turkey, but they are not domesticated birds. With the pheasant one is dealing, with a bird that is still subject to the laws of the jungle, and exhibits many of the instincts of the wild life from which they are really but a few generations removed. They are but cousins to the prouse or quail. The longer the breed has been in activity the more docil and the better layers they are."—Washington Post. An ostrich yields about three pounds of feathers a year. Woman kind The Feminine Sphinx. It is the creed of the up-to-date woman never to give herself away. A cup of coffee may be spilled over her delicate silk' gown—she simply folds the breadths together and goes on with her flow of feminine talk. "Enfant terrible" makes agonizing remarks, a rival gives some cruel stab—all is met with the same absolute immobility of countenance.—The Lady. Don't Think You Are Old. A certain amount of social life is absolutely essential to the old as well as to the young. A woman never grows so old that she ceases to enjoy the company of others, and generally the older she grows the more she enjoys it. It is always a pity to see a man fall into a state which he explains by saying, "Oh, we're getting old, and don't care for so much variety in our lives," says Woman's Life. In the pure selfsiness of his soul he always speaks of "us" and "we," as if it naturally follows that because he is getting antiquated his wife must keep pace with him in his decline. Let him keep in touch with the world, and both he and his wife will be the better and the younger for it. The Girl We All Love. Take Time in Dressing. Never let it be your boast that you can dress in five minutes. No woman who has any respect for her appearance or her clothes will attempt to dress in even double that time. It is as true in dressing as in anything else that where there is the more haste there is the less speed. It is particularly trying for a woman to dress in a hurry. She gets furried, and in her attempt to fasten her brooch the pin sticks into her finger, says Woman's Life. She gets cross over this, and then everything goes wrong. Buttons come off shoes, or laces break, gloves and veil are not to be found until boxes and drawers have been turned upside down, and the nth missing articles have been found on the dressing table. When she does at last get ready she is conscious of appearing at her worst, being hot and angry with herself and everybody else. Women's War on Women. Wives of Newton county farmers who supply this town with butter, eggs, poultry and malk have formed a "trust" and "boosted" prices. Instead of holding a meeting the women perfected arrangements by telephone and the agreement is being kept as rigidly as if the members of the "trust" were under heavy bonds. As a consequence Kentland housewives are in revolt and are planning to crush the "trust." Lawyers convinced the housewives that an appeal to the federal court would be useless, because the supplying of Kentland with provisions is not interstate trade. However, the housewives have found a weapon to fight the "trust," and it is now "Greek against Greek." The women of Kentland are placing orders with creameries, and say they will not patronize the farmers' wives until the "trust" is "husted." The war between the women is almost the sole topic in clubs and wherever women meet, and there is a possibility that the men may be drawn into it before hostilities cease—Kentland correspondence Indianapolis News. They Would Ban Long Trains. Women of Washington have begun a campaign against the long train. Mrs. Roosevelt is at the head of the movement. It is no fear of microbes or consideration for the views of health faddists that is responsible for the movement, but simply a due regard for what is suitable and becoming. It does not need a fashion oracle to make it plain that only tall and slender women look their best in long trains. Those who are short and of ample proportions should avoid trailing lengths of silks and tulle as they would the color scheme of a Hottentot or Iadian. But the fact remains that although most of the women of the "official family" in Washington are below the average in stature, all seem to take a special delight in arraying themselves in the longest trains their dressmakers can be induced to build. Mrs. Roosevelt is of medium height and has the advantage of many in respect of inches. She has intimated her desire that only demi-trains be worn at the White House levees. She addresses to the rule strictly and has won a few followers but they still rank with the minority. Mrs. Metcalf of California is tall, and long trains would suit her admirably, but she soldom wears them. Mrs. Root is barely five feet tall in her French shoes, but she loves to drag behind her a train that is nearly as long as herself. Mrs. Cortelyou, who also is short and inclined to stoutness, is another with a fondness for such robes—New York Press. Grandmother Goes to the Matinees. Even grandma is a matifee girl now. A careful estimate indicates that more than 200,000 "girls" ranging in age from under 17 to 70 attend the afternoon performances in the metropolis every week. There are 225 matinées given in New York each week in the season. That is counting only those houses that are patronized by women. This means that nearly a quarter of a million damsels and dames are at the theatre each week. What is perhaps more remarkable is that the majority of this army are "regulars." They go every week, and some of them more than once a week. A poetic glamour was thrown about the matinee girl of yester-year. She had her ideals and her idols. She was a sweet young thing who put some actor upon a pedestal and wasted her pin money on his photographs. Now the matinee idol is a drug on the market and the matinee girl is a practical person. She may still be a sweet young thing or a merry matron, or a dear old grandma, but she is practical. No squandering of money upon actors' photographs for her! Her coin goes into the box office to see another favorite, or to purchase a box of chocolates. The "regulars" among these matinee goers are remarkably well primed with gossip of the stage and its people. Between the acts they chatter blithely of the players' personal affairs, blending fiction and fact with a facility that ought to make the press agent ashamed to take his salary. They are especially numerous at the best class of vaudeville houses. They are critical, too. Not the least joyful are the white haired women, looking so unworldly and so grandmotherly that they don't seem to harmonize with their environment. Still, the harmony is there just the same. The dear old ladies are having the time of their lives. In deed they are very much at home. All seem to realize that they missed a heap of fun while bringing up their children, and are intent upon catching up. What is more, there is nothing too up-to-date for them. A fireman in a theatre had a few remarks to make upon the venerable matinee girls. "Take it from me," said he, "the old ladies nowadays are hot sports. No more of the Alice-Sit-by-the-Fire for them. Not much. They're live ones. —New York World. Fashion Notes. Don't wear a tailor-made dress with a picture hat. The pony coat of the season is very much trimmed. The newest evening scarfs are of lace rather than chiffon. The Directoire bag is the greatest novelty so far shown in wearing apparel. Pearls are the perfect jewels that accompany a handsome gray evening gown. Broad braids are the thing in hair dressing, whether one has abundant natural hair or not. Why do the French women wear so much, black? Because they know how generally becoming it is. The comfortable turndown collar fastened to the blouse is seen again on morning house gowns. Even the plainest of lingerie waists may have an open neck filled in with a dainty ruffled chemisette. Three little straps of mat kid like the quarters fasten across the instep on a smart slipper of patent kid. Suits that are fashioned now can be worn with comfort though the entire summer except on the very hottest days. A linen skirt finished around the bottom with three very wide tucks, the lowest four inches wide and-the others slightly narrower, is among the flunning new models. Just Smile.

So the first thing Elsie learned about money was that she could exchange it for something she wanted. One day Elsie's uncle came to visit, and he gave her more money than she had ever had at one time in her life—a bright new silver quarter. It was so pretty that Elsie thought she would keep it always. She carried it everywhere she went, and thought about it most of the time. Then she began to be afraid she would lose it and it worried her very much. Don't think of the troubles to be. To every door there is surely a key. Let joy be the thing and free. Just smile.

"Among the valuable presents which King Edward has received is one in connection with which the following story is told," says "Chums." "His Majesty, when Prince of Wales, on alighting from his carriage at the door of a house he was about to visit, observed a blind man and his dog trying to cross the crowded thoroughfare. Without a moment's hesitation our present King went to the rescue, and successfully piloted the pair through a throng of carriages. "A short time after he received a massive silver inkstand, with the following inscription: "To the Prince of Wales, from one who saw him conduct a blind beggar across the street. In memory of a kind and Christian action." "The name of the donor has never been discovered, but the anonymous gift is certainly not the least prized of his majesty's possessions." Goose Pet of London Market. The tame goose Patsy, who for the last three years, has been the pet of the Farringdon street fish market, has died, and a new goose has been chosen to take her place. The old Patsy was a happy go lucky Irish goose. She had her little kennel inside a shop and during the daytime wandered freely about the fish-marker. She was friendly with everybody, from the women selling lemons at three a penny at the door to the big burly pouterer, her own particular master. But the new Patsy is a totally different bird, an English goose weighing nearly 17 pounds, and altogether a much finer bird than the old one. She is typically English in character. She is slow to make friends and easily takes offence. "She is certainly a very fine goose," said one of the salesmen, "but she isn't like the old Patsy. We miss the twinkle in her eye—the Irish humor, as it were."—London Express. Washington and the Corporal. It is told of 'George Washington, that upon one occasion, he rode by a group of soldiers, who evidently did not know him. The men were engaged upon a difficult piece of work; that of trying to raise a heavy beam to the top, of some military fortifications. The corporal was shouting at the top of his voice, but otherwise doing nothing. "Why aren't you helping them?" Washington asked quietly. "Every man counts." "Sir," was the pompous answer, "You do not seem to recognize that I am the corporal." "I beg your pardon, Mr. Corporal." Washington replied, "but I find it difficult to recognize that fact." Then, dismounting, he fell to helping the men and the beam was soon raised. "If you should need such assistance again," he said to the corporal before leaving, "just call upon Washington, your commander-in-chief, and I shall be ready." Tame Geese Brought Back Wild Ones. * The Shakers in Alfred kept a large flock of geese in the pond at the foot of the hill, and on the shore they built a house with an opening in the water, so that the geese could swim inside, with a door arranged to drop down so that they could not get out. Every night the geese would come into the house, and in the morning they would be liberated, and allowed to swim around the pond in search for food. One day in the fall a large flock of wild geese alighted in the pond and mingled with the flock of tame geese. Toward night both flocks arose and flew away, and that was the last the shakers saw of their flock of geese that fall. Now for the strange part of the story. The next spring a flock of geese alighted in this pond and at once started for the house on the shore and all swam inside, when some one of the Shakers saw them, ran ran down and closed the door, and to and behold! he had not only every one of their geese that flew away the fall before, but a large flock of wild ones besides—Bliddeford Record. About Money. Elsie's first experience with many occurred when she was so short that she had to climb up on a stool in order to see the clerk behind the candy counter. Then she used to take a penny out of her little white mitten, reach it out to the clerk and say: "A little tandy mouse, please." So the first thing Elsie learned about money was that she could exchange it for something she wanted. One day Elsie's uncle came to visit, and he gave her more money than she had ever had at one time in her life—a bright new silver quarter. It was so pretty that Elsie thought she would keep it always. She carried it everywhere she went, and thought about it most of the time. Then she began to be afraid she would lose it, and it worried her very much until she thought of a place where she could hide it. When no one was looking she picked out a tiny spruce tree in the field where she often played, and under this tree she planted her shiny quarter. Then she ran away to play, happy in the thought that her precious money was safe. Next morning she want to look at it. She dug and dug all around the free, but did not find it. She looked under all the other little spruce trees, for strange to say, they all looked so much alike that she could not exactly remember which one was the tree where she buried, her treasure. She never found the money, but she learned two things—first, money is a great care in itself, and of no use unless it's in use; second, buried money is as good as no money. The next money Elsie had was a whole dollar bill. She could hardly believe that the little rectangle of green paper was four times as good as the shiny money she had lost. They had to explain to her that four shiny silver quarters had been locked up for her in Uncle.Sam's big treasure house, and the green bill was just to say that she could buy a dollar's worth of something and he would pay the silver or gold for it. The bill she hid on a shelf behind the clock, and on rainy days she would climb up and look at it and plan what she would buy with it at Christmas time. When Christmas really came she went with auntie to the town to spend the dollar. She bought a jackknife for brother Hal, a handkerchief for papa and a pretty cup and saucer for mamma. They were all so pleased and surprised with their presents that Elsie made up her mind that all money was good for was to spend in making other people happy.—New Haven Register. Didn't Want Face Washed. This is a story about a little girl who didn't want her face washed. "What did I hear you crying about, just now, Winnie?" asked Aunt Jane, looking up from her book. Winnie put her finger in her mouth and looked ready to cry. Winnie obeyed, and whispered: "I didn't want my face washed." "Oh, but you know," said auntie, "that's very naughty, because little girls must be kept neat and tidy. Do you know that many, many animals and insects keep themselves beauti- fully neat and clean?" Winnie opened her eyes very wide at this. "Do they?" she asked. "Indeed, yes, just watch Pussy as she sits in front of the fire; see how carefully she combs her fur with her sharp claws, and brushes it down into place with her rough tongue. If her coat gets rumped or dirty—ever so little—she will spend a long time making it neat and smart again. "Next time you visit some Zoo and go to the monkey house look at the cages all around the walls and in them you will very likely see curious little creatures called lemurs. If you notice them carefully you will see that their middle fingernails are very long. They use these as combs, and with them keep their coats spick and span. They there is an animal called the flying lemur, which has perhaps the best comb of all, and that is its lower front tooth. It is quite a large tooth, and the edge of it is just like the comb that you see." "Ob, how funny!" exclaimed Wunle. "And just look how birds smooth their feathers down with their beaks. My, if they were to let them grow just anyhow, they would look frightfully ragged and untidy. "Notice the flies, too, how carefully they brush their heads with their forelegs, and their wings with their hindlegs, while bees have a kind of comb on each front leg with which they clean the delicate feelers on their heads. "You know what an ant is like, of course. Well, some ants not only have combs on their legs, like the bees, but brushes as well. You see, animals carry their brushes and combs about with them, and so they never get lost." "I lose track of mine sometimes," said Winnie. "And do you know that when animals are quite young, too little to look after themselves, their mothers wash them and make them tidy, just as little boys' and girls' mothers do?" "Then I'll never again be naughty about being washed and combed, and dressed," promised Winnie, "for I'm not going to let the little files and things' stand ahead of me."—McCalla, PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO 116 W.

THERE are several financial institutions in the city that are deserving of the unstinted patronage of our people. Secure shares in these companies and deposit your earnings in their savings departments. READ carefully our advertising columns, and therein you will note the several colored enterprises that are deserving of the patronage of every colored person. Do not fail to spend your money with them in preference to any one else. It remains for a Southern gentleman to arise and object to the appointment of a Negro to the Rhode's scholarship. The objector is a member of the board of administration of the Tulane, La., University. He sent his objection to the British ambassador at Washington. The objection is caused by the appointment of a colored student of Philadelphia who surpassed his white competitors for the place. We are afraid that the protest of the gentleman will availeth naught, because the British government is above such petty nonsense. Again it would be well for the gentleman to have his boys to surpass the colored boys, otherwise he will be treated to repeated doses. THE too prevalent custom of our young men using profane words on the streets and other public places is a thing to be regretted. Using such language is said to be the cause of a colored man being badly beaten by a badgeless policeman Thursday afternoon. As strongly as we condemn the colored man or any one else for using unbecoming language on the streets, in an equal term do we condemn the action of the policeman who was not on duty, but at his home in his shirt sleeve when he made the arrest. No one supposed him to be a police man, naturally any man would object to any one attempting to lay hands on him who is not seen on with a badge of office. For that reason the colored man can not be blamed for what he did. On the other hand the authorities should hold this policeman responsible for the disorder. If the colored man violated an ordinance, there was a different way to have him arrested other than that used by this badge less officer. DURING the week, Solicitor General Bennett of Waycross came in the open and spoke in no uncertain terms about the number of homicides in this state, and in a mild way criticised the manner in which the accused are dealt with. It is known that in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred where colored accused are concerned they are convicted and generally get the full penalty of the law. The same rule is not applied to white accused. Every possible pretext is made to shield them from conviction, and if convicted generally the lightest sentence is given them. Some of the worst murders in the State have been committed by white men but few of them have paid the death penalty. In Chatham County jail there is now confined a white man who without a just cause shot down his wife. He is under the death penalty. If he is hung, he will be the first white man to pay this penalty in this county, despite of the fact that many of them have killed their men. In this section especially there seems to be a bond of fraternity among white men to protect each other whenever accused of such crimes The non-conviction of white men accused of these crimes does not appeal favorably to the people in other sections of the country, and it has a tendency to keep away home seekers and capital. COMPLAINTS are being generally made about disorder, in certain of our churches. The complaints are just and we are loth to admit that any of our people, young or old, are so sacrilegious as to act other than in a becoming manner in the place dedicated to the worship of God. Some time ago we attended one of our churches and in the midst of the service some boys in the gallery burst out laughing and acted otherwise in a rude manner. At another time the officers of a church were compelled to have some rude boys arrested for their bad actions. These things reflect on us as a people and are burdens that will prevent us from progressing as rapidly as we otherwise would But the lenders and officers in these churches where such disorders occur are to be blamed largely for them because they do not in a true sense have observed the sacredness of the church edifices. Each one of these edifices are supposed to be dedicated to the services of God and Him only, but are they not largely made the place of "money changers?" The officers permit concerts, and other questionable attractions in the house dedicated to the service of God. Such things cause the young people to grow up with an irreverent feeling for the church, hence this action. Let the pastors and officers of the several churches have their edifices used solely for the services of God, and it would soon be found that every attendant would worship with more reverence. Again, it is very tiresome to attend the services of certain churches and be compelled to listen to a long string of advertising announcements. It is enough for the notices of the individual churches to be made known to the congregation but when the announcements of the several entertainments and meetings throughout the city are made, they ruin the purpose of the service. Pastors of the various churches should not allow any notice but those concerning the affairs of their individual church to be read at their services. This Institution is the Pride of Our People Pride of Our People. This paper has often and insistently advocated in its columns the virtue and good that would accrue to our people in combining their means and patronizing race enterprises, and now we have an object lesson in this community that proves that our advice along these lines was proper, timely and beneficial. We refer to the results attained by an institution in this city, The Wage Earners Loan and Investment Co. This company was organized something more than six years ago by a few of our citizens and paid in at its organization the small sum of $102. But by a careful and conservative management its combined assets amounts at this time to near $50,000. We are informed by its officials that they have 1280 depositors and several hundred stockholders. But the information that appeals to us as being the most interesting and encouraging is the great amount of good and assistance this company has done in the interest of the people this in community. We are informed that since they have been in business they have built, bought or otherwise assisted over 100 colored citizens of this community in securing or owning homes besides helping scores of our young men in carrying on business enterprises. Now this is a remarkable record, and it brings this thought to our mind; before this company was organized, this large amount of money that they now have at their disposal was deposited with various white banks where it was used almost exclusively for the uplift and benefit of the white race, but now this money is being used exclusively for the uplift and benefit of our own people. We wish that his thought would appeal to the hundreds of our own people that are still putting their savings into the white banks and cause them to change their deposits where it could be used to build up our own people. It will be of interest to the public to know that this company now have in process of construction seven houses and among this number is an apartment house of four flats that is being built on Burroughs St, near Thirty-third. They have also bought a large tract of land in the Southeastern section of this city and sub-divided the tract into building lots and selling them to our people on easy installment plans. The officers and directors deserve much credit for the manner in which they conduct the affairs of this company and should demand a large patronage from all of our people that have money to investor deposit especially since they pay 5 percent interest on deposits while the white banks only pay 3 1.2. President Allen Reelected The Jefferson City, Tribune and other dailies of the city contained the following on Tuesday, April 23. "The board of reepts of Lincoln Institute held a meeting on Monday and reelected President B. F. Allen for another term of two years. This is a splendid endorsement of the work of Prot. Allen, as the head of this leading Negro educational institution in the United States." This re-election comes to President Allen as a special honor, for it is the first time in the history we have been able to learn, that a president has been elected to succeed himself several months before the close of the scholastic years. The many friends and admirers of President Allen in Missouri and throughout the country rejoice with him and congratulations are being showered upon him by members of both races, by members of his faculty and students. The centric race should be proud of the man who has brought Lincoln I situate to the front in numbers, equipment, and all that goes to make up a great educational institution. The above is taken from the Rising Son, Kansas City, Mo., and is read with delight by the host of friends of President Allen in this city, and who extend him congratulations. Some Encouraging Figures. $ ^{*} $ The presence of the Negro in America is a problem says the S. S. Times. So is the presence of the white man. And there are some white men who constitute a greater problem than some Negroes. And the problem of the Negro is no more hopeless than the problem of the white man. This is a good principle to begin with. God made the black man as well as the white man, and he doubtless had as good a reason in one case as in the other. Neither race gave itself its skin, and neither race need feel either pride or lowliness over the color of that skin. The blood inside is the same color, and the same Saviour died for all. The Negro race has been making steady progress. The illiteracy of the Negro males of voting age has been reduced in the Southern States from 88 per cent. in 1890 to 52 per cent in 1900. Referring to the statistics of the United States census for 1900, Booker Washington observes, "Here is the unique fact that from a penile population just out of slavery, 372,414 owners of houses have emerged, and of these 255,156 are known to own their houses absolutely free of encumbrance." In 1900 there were 732,364 farms operated by Negroes in the South, 150,000 Southern Negroes now own their own farms and 28,000 more are recorded as part owners." Bays Mr. Murphy in "Problem of the Present South!" "The value of the property. In all the farms operated by Negroes at the South was $169,506,555. In more than half the counties of Virginia, over 70 per cent. of the Negro farmers are owners or managers and in 33 counties of the state the proportion is over 80 per cent." This is not a retrograding record. College Dots. The following are the annual speakers for the commencement : Baccalaureate address, Rev. E. T. Ware, chaplain of Atlanta University. Atlanta, Ga.; Y.

W H. Fleming of Augusta, will probably make an address on commencement day also Last Friday Prof. Pearson lectured on "Negro Insurrection for Freedom." He showed from facts of history that the Negro made many insurrections for freedom some recorded and some merely referred to in a general way, that only by keeping the Negro in complete ignorance were insurrections prevented, that as soon as the Negro understood the situation civilly, morally and physically he was ready to make a dash for liberty at the risk of his own life. Gen. Gabriel, Nat Turner and Drumark Vesey were fully discussed He stated that the proposed insurrection of Gen. Yabrill and Drumark Vesey were planned with considerable skill resourcefulness and wisdom. Commencement next! St. Phillips Dots. The attendance at each service on last Sunday was the largest since our late rally. The inclement weather for the past four Sundays kept some of our members from attending. Rev. Lindsay preached at the morning and evening services. His sermons are always full of thought and are helpful to Christians as well as the sinners. Our revival commenced on Monday night last. In a city like Savannah, the harvest is great but the laborers are few, but by God's help we intend to try and help sinners to fall out with their way and fall in with the overtures of Christ and be saved by the terms of the gospel (and where we meet touching and agreeing on one thing God will be in our midst and success shall be ours.

Professor Eckles of Missouri Agricultural College says if a cow in the early part of the milky period will not give a good flow of milk on either of these rations—24 hours supply—she is not adapted for a dairy cow: 1. Clover hay, 20 pounds; bran, 5 pounds; corn 6 to 8 pounds. 2. Clover hay 20 pounds; oats 4 to 5 pounds; corn 6 to 8 pounds. 3. Clover hay 20 pounds; corn and cob meal 8 to 10 pounds; gluten or cottonseed meal 2 pounds. 4. Alfalfa or cow-pea hay 15 to 20 pounds; corn 9 to 12 pounds. 5. Alfalfa or cow-pea hay 10 pounds; corn stover 10 pounds; corn 8 to 10 pounds; bran 2 pounds. Improved Methods There is no better evidence of the value of thought and practice in live stock breeding and feeding than is shown in these paragraphs from "American Farmer": Merino breeders in Vermont took a sheep that sheared nine pounds, and they developed a sheep that sheared 41 pounds. They took a carcass that weighed 100 pounds and they made one that weighed 200 pounds. They sold rams for $3 per head, and they sold rams for $3,000 per head. They seet Merinos to every part of the world where better sheep were wanted. There has been a great improvement in beef cattle during the last half century. Fifty years ago the average cattle raised for beef was only 800 pounds, live weight. Now the average is about 1,400 pounds. This increase in weight has been accomplished by the introduction of the British beef breeds. Sheep Raising Neglected. "Up-to-Date Farming" mentions a f "Up-to-Date Farming" mentions a few things that should be kept in mind by those engaged in sheep-growing as well as those intending to embark in this neglected branch of farming:— Mutton tastes better than it used to; because why? It is better. Our earliest history tells of sheen. There are evidences that sheep and men have been associated as long as both have been on earth. There may be a small profit in a flock of scrub sheep, but there is a greater profit in the same number of pure-breds properly cared for. $ \varrho $ It pays to feed the lambs before they are weaned, all the grain they will eat when on good blue grass or clover pasture with their dams. This conclusion is endorsed by a previous trial When the ewes have been properly fed during winter, so as to be in good condition at lambing time, it does not pay to feed them grain when on good pasture with the object of securing more rapid and profitable gains in the lambs. Planning a Strenuous Life. Secretary Wilson of the Agricultural Department is preparing to educate the hen, the simple-minded, industrious fowl which adds so much to national wealth, remarks "American Farmer." The hen has been doing pretty well in the past, producing eggs and hatching chickens and making no fuss about it. Last year there were twelve billion eggs laid in this country. It is considered a pretty good job for a hen to lay 140 eggs a year. At a cent apiece this is producing large returns from the Investment. But the government is not satisfied. It thinks it can produce a hen that will lay 365 eggs a year, allowing no rest on Sundays or legal holidays. The idea is to keep the hen from reverting to her maternal instincts. This is hard on the hen, seems unconstitutional in fact, but it is a fine exhibition of the strenuousness of modern life, the best exemplification of the law of the survival of the fittest. Hens must work all the time and only incubators without motherly feeling must rear the brood. It is rough on the hen, but we welcome the change in the interest of the enlarged breakfast table. Beautifying the Home Plot. Beautifying the Home Plot. In speaking of "Some Simple Ways of Beautifying the Home Plot." Mrs. Edith Loring Fullerton of Huntington, Long Island emphasized the need of beautifying the home. Although the grower does not rely upon it for his maintenance, yet his existence must be spent in the very center of it. She emphasized the need for shade trees and of caring for them. The use of vines on buildings adds beauty to a building or wall which otherwise might be bare and homely. Vines over porches, up chimneys, hiding glaring or bare spots, may help immeasurably to make beauty spots. The use of flowers, wild and cultivated, is an easy addition to the beauty of the home plot. A novel and charming medium of dropping vines is the use of common fishnet, which lends itself to a wide variation of treatment. The use of climbing roses enhances greatly the natural beauty of grape arbors, and the side of an arbor is a n excellent place for a flower garden. Vines and trailing flowers of every kind may be used to break the ugliness and monotony of straight lines. Nature always selects the curve, the line of beauty. Drinking Vessels for Poultry. In all poultry houses, built in cold climates and not made exceedingly warm, there are many periods of trouble with the drinking vessels. Not only will the water freeze, but, in many cases, the wattles of the fowls, and even their combs, sometimes will be chilled through when wet from drinking. Not all birds suffer equally in this respect. Those breeds which have small—and especially small rose combs, with incessant wattles, are practically exempt from such troubles. A good, modern fountain, with saucer, meets all needles in their case. But many an amateur has wondered how the combs and wattles of his high-combed, long-wattled birds have become so unsightly, ragged or lopping. The cause often lies in the kind of drinking vessel used. And in case of zero weather, any receptacle which allows the wattles to touch the water is bound to spoil, these appen-dages, and cause the birds much pain. There is a little device that can be applied to the open water-pan which helps a great deal in this difficulty. It consists merely of a board fitted rather losely to the top of the pan or basin, resting only on the water. In this board are bored a number of holes, perhaps an inch and a half in diameter. But, even in so simple a thing, it is possible to get it all wrong. The holes must be of a size to accommodate the birds which use the vessels, without leaving much extra room. The board must not fit so tightly that it cannot follow the water as it lowers. It must be well stayed with cleats so that it can not warp, too, since it is better to be not very thick. Attention to all these small points will insure that it will be satisfactory to the handler and comforting to the birds, as well as saving their beauty. Whatever form the drinking fountains take, it is customary to set them up a little from the floor, in order that dirt may not be scratched into them. When using such an arrangement as the one here noted, the fountains can not be placed quite so high as when they are entirely open, as the fowl's head must be farther over the pan. Notes on Farming. The legislature of Maine has been asked, to provide $10,000 with which to purchase a farm on which to conduct scientific investigations in orcharding. Plan to raise more roots—beets, mangels, turnips and carrots. All kinds of stock rellish them and winter much better where roots are fed judiciously. It is a business proposition to keep accurate account of creatures kept on the farm to the end that non-payers, whether cattle or poultry, may be gotten rid of. Alfalfa makes an excellent feed for poultry when properly cut, so those who have used it say. It holds its green summer look better than any of the other grasses. Shelter in inclement weather affords comfort, while it saves food. If one tried to overcome exposure and cold by generous feeding he undertakes an expensive proposition. Geese are among the most profitable of the feathery tribe to raise on the farm where pasturage is plenty. They require comparatively little care, are hardy and usually free from disease. Opinions are divided as to the practicability of keeping troughs filled with water constantly before stock, but there is only one mind as to giving them plenty and at times when least liable to chill them. A Michigan poultry breeder says that if immediately after killing the fowl is dipped into a tub of cold water until it ceases struggling and then taken out and picked at once, the feathers will come off as quickly as it scalded. The "American Cultivator" devotes a couple of pages to Fairlee farm down near New Haven, including several pictures. The farm embraces some 400 acres, carrying 120 pure bred Jerseys, the product of which finds ready sale at 12 cents a quart for milk and 80 for cream. The Oldest Goose. Among the interesting assets which Moran has to his credit is a goose which has reached the mature age of 71 years. This oldest inhabitant of the fowl tribe in Allen County is owned by James Strong. Mr. Strong has owned it for many years and is greatly attached to it, and does everything, to make its latter days pleasant. There are of course, reasons other than those of sentiment why this goose is safe from being served as a table delicacy. In 1871, when William Jones left Iowa for Kansas, a friend gave him a goose which was 35 years old at the time. It was regarded as a fairly venerable bird then, but it stood the hardship of pioneer life in Allen County with no complaint. When Newt Strong married a niece of Mr. Jones he gave them the goose. Later they moved to Iowa and left the goose with James Strong, who still has it—Kansas City Journal. CAT KILLS "RATTLER." Kitten Strays Into Railroad Camp and Fights Reptile to a Finish Life in a railroad construction camp at its best is a hard humdrum existence, but men, no matter where they are or what may be the conditions under which they earn and eat their daily bread, will find some way to pass the tedious hours while they rest their weary frames, says the Minnesota Tribune. Such a camp was the scene of one of the strangest battles between two widely different species of living beings one warm Sunday afternoon three years ago. The place was on the Great Western Railway, among the rugged hills of Iowa, just over the Minnesota line. It was there that a gang of about 100 men watched a fight to the death between man's worst enemy, a big rattlesnake, and the pet of the camp, a half-grown kitten. Somehow, from somewhere, this kitten had come and cast its lot among the rough laborers, attracted perhaps by the promise of food from the company's boarding car. It quickly made friends with the lonely men, but was wild and hard to approach, although it tried to be friendly, and, in spite of the life she had led, was a pretty animal of the striped or "tiger" variety. On this particular Sunday afternoon the men were passing the time as best they could, gathered around the bunk cars, when one of them noticed the camp cat circling round a certain spot on the right-of-way. The cat was lashing itself with her tall and seemed wild with fright and fury. The workers gathered quickly, forming a ring, and the reason for the cat's strange action was found to be a large rattler, collar into the sand, with its head raised to strike and its rattles playing a lively hum of warning. The cat paid no attention to the gathering of the men, and the crowd remained quiet, watching proceedings, curious to see what would be the outcome. Round and round went Tabby, each time making the circle smaller. With eyes shining like living coals of fire, her fur stood on end, and the white froth streamed from her champing jaws. Crouching low, carefully and guardedly she crept nearer and nearer to the deadly foe. When the feline had reached a point within a few feet of the coiled and watchful reptile, it came to a dead stop and prepared to spring, settling her paws firmly into the gravel. Slowly the wicked head and beady eyes of the snake rose from the coli, while the black forked tongue played from between the deadly fangs. Like a streak of lightning the rattler struck at the cat, but she was far too quick, and swiffer than the eye could travel had sprung to one side and buried her teeth in the snake's writhing body before it could recover, coli, and strike again. Giving the reptile a flop, to prevent it reaching her, and before her actions could be fully comprehended by the watching throng, the cat was out of harm's way, again going round and round, still frothing at the mouth, and still lashing her tail. Again and again was this performance repeated, until it could be seen that the descendant of the tiger family had conquered mankind's most hated enemy. Finally, the snake struck more feebly and recolled more slowly. Then Tabby succeeded in slinking her teeth in the snake's neck. This time she did not let go her hold, but crunched and crunched until she had finished her job and killed the enemy. That night there was but little said when the lanterns were lighted and hung in the bunk cars, but from that day until winter broke up the camp and closed the season's work one construction camp had its little heroine, who was always treated with kindness and respect. London Cabbies' Longevity. What is the secret of the longevity of London cabmen? One of them surprised the Westminster magistrate by declaring that he had been picking up fares for the past half-century in the metropolitan streets. A dip into an official return showed that there are 1,204 London cabmen between the ages of 60 and 70, 249 between the ages of 70 and 80, while seven return their age between 80 and 90. One almost suspects these seven old patriarchs of living carried sedan chairs in the pre-growler days. At all events they are a living advertisement of London as a health resort, with beafsteak, overcoat, and muffler. —London Chronicle. High Finance at Jola. Talent that ought to be shaping deals in high finance is employed in the hack business at Iola. The city Council passed an ordinance giving each firm stand No. 1 at the railroad station, in rotation. One firm which owned five hacks protested that the ordinance didn't give a fair proportionate show to the man with a number of hacks, as compared with the one-hack institution. The Council insisted upon the ordinance. Thereupon the company with five hacks organized five different companies, and showed up for five different stands at stand No. 1—Kansas City Journal$^2$ Only Two Hands.

The Farmer's Wife Is very careful about her churn. She scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives it a sun bath to sweeten it. She knows that if her churn is sour it will taint the butter that is made in it. The stomach is a churn. In the stomach and digestive and creatts are performed, processes which are more likely to cause the butter of churn. Is it not apparent* then that if this stomach-churn is foul it makes foul all which is put into it? The evil of a foul stomach is not alone the bad taste in the mouth and the foul breath caused by it, but the corruption of the pure current of blood and the dissemination of disease throughout the body. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes the sour and foul stomach sweet. It does for the stomach what the washing and sun bath do for the churn—absolutely removes every tainting or corrupting element. In this way it cures blotches, pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings, sores, or open eating ulcers and all humors or diseases arising from bad blood. If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath, are weak and easily tired, feel depressed and despondent, have frequent headaches, dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stomach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour or bitter risings after eating and poor appetite, these symptoms, or any considerable number of them, indicate that you are suffering from billiousness, torpid or lazy liver with the usual accompanying indigestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant derangements. The best agents known to medical services of the above symptoms and conditions, as assessed by the writings of leading teachers and practitioners of all the several schools of medical practice, have been skillfully and harmoniously combined in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

Hunter and Hawk Want Rabbit. Hunter and Hawk Want Rabbit. The other day as George E. Crooker was rabbit hunting with his dog in North Baths woods and was about to shoot a rabbit that his dog was chasing, a big hawk, which had been soaring overhead in search of dinner, swobped down and struck its talons in the hare, and was flying with it when Crooker fired at the hawk, bringing down both rabbit and bird. The hawk was a goshawk, a rage bird in these parts—Kennsage Journal. FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Oxalic Acid in Washing. Good laudresses when washing white stockings, whether of silk or thread, add a few drops of exalic acid to the water. The reason of this is that the acid has the effect of removing the stains caused by the boots and shoes, which are only "set" when washed with ordinary soap and water. It He Swallows a Pin. If a child swallows a pin give it a bowl of bread and milk into which several small balls of absorbent cotton have been put. The cotton will not digest and the pin, says the New York Evening Telegram, will be apt to lodge in one of the balls and thereby keep the ends from scratching the intestines. The curative effects of salt have never been shown as they should be. Sore and inflamed eyes are relieved by bathing with salt water. Sore throat yields to a gargle of the same. Constipation can be cured by a persistent use of half a teaspoonful of salt in a glass of water taken just before going to bed. A Place for Rubbish. Now that gas cooking stoves are so much used, many housewives are troubled as to how they shall get rid of the rubbish that they would formerly have burned in the kitchen fire. Any one who has a garden can easily have a home-made crematory. A hole two feet deep and two feet in diameter should be dug and the top edged with bricks. When not in use it may be covered with a piece of roofing tin. The ashes which remain after the burning of the rubbish are useful in the garden as manure. To Hide Mantels. An ingenious way of hiding an ugly mantel, where an open fire was not needed in a room, has been devised by a woman. Shelves have been built around it, from the bottom upward to the height of the mantel shelf and running around on both sides where the fireplace projects from the wall. The bottom*shelf has been utilized for heavy bric-a-brac like bronzes and qualit Jaranese and Indian pottery. On the second and third shelves have been placed lighter and more decorative pieces, including a bust or two, a has relief, and choice books are piled on one another. Good brushes are expensive, but provided they are properly cared for they are worth being bought. After tooth and nail brushes have been used they should always be placed in such a position that all water will drain from them, and tooth brushes should be preserved from soil by a little cover bought to protect them. Household brushes also last a long time if properly cared for and never allowed to rest on the bristles. Long bandled and short ones alike should be hung up or propped on a shelf, says Woman's Life. The best cleansing preparation for brushes is a solution made by dissolving one pound of washing soda in a quart of water. This should be stirred over the fire until dissolved, and used in the proportion of one tablespoonful to a quart of water. A little soap should be employed for soft hair brushes and cold water for rinsing them. Wash them by dabbing them upon the surface of the water, and dry them in the open air. Recipes. Melasses Gingerbread.—One-half cup of molasses, scant 1-2 cup of butter, 1-2 cup of sour milk, small teaspoon soda; 1 egg, teaspoon ginger, 2 even cups of flour. Cocoanut Pie.—One cup of grated coconut, 2 eggs, 3 tablespoonfuls of sugar; bake as an ordinary custard pie. Frost with the white of an egg and teaspoonful of sugar if desired. Snowdrift.—Half box gelatine soaked in cold water thirty minutes. Add one pint boiling water, two cups of sugar and juice of two lemons. Let all this come to a boil. Put it on the ice and when thick heat into the whites of two eggs. Then put in mould and place on ice. Serve with a custard made of two yolks. Inexpensive Raisin Cake—One cup of sour milk, 1 cup of sugar, 1.2 cup shortening (butter or lard), 2 cups of flour, 1 egg well beaten, level teaspoonful soda, cup of chopped raisins (currants if preferred), teaspoonful of cinnamon, cloves, allspice and 1.2 spoonful of nutmeg, 1 teaspoonful lemon and pinch of salt. For Custards.—In frosting any kind of a custard or pudding to be served cold beat the whites of four eggs until stiff, add sugar and drop into a pan of boiling water, place in the oven and brown. For floating island drop in tablespoonfuls a little distance apart, or if you wish it, in one piece, put in the size of your pudding dish. It can be made flat and smooth or heaped as high as you wish. This saves lots of time, as the pudding can be cooling while the frosting is being made. YOUR GRANDMOTHER USED IT.

(1) CP VETERILLX 10wA (At18'07) SCIENCE An Austrian engineer named Pola has invented an apparatus which, by means of sudden suction and pressure, he claims will dispel fog in front of ships. That the principles of wireless telegraphy may be applied in transmitting through the air, as a medium, electricity sufficient to light an electric lamp or series of lamps has been practically demonstrated by R. B. Garland of No. 22 Mott street, Ansonia, Conn., former superintendent of the fire alarm system. Professor Brashear of the Allegheny, Pa., observatory, is said to have discovered one of the largest sun spots ever called to the attention of astronomers, it being 113,000 miles long and 20,000 miles wide. As this immense spot and other smaller ones do not lessen the light or heat of the sun, they furnish some idea of its magnitude, which is placed by astronomers at 330,000 times that of the earth. Dr. Norman Lockyer explained that the only reason earthquakes seem more numerous than ever before is that all disturbances are now recorded on instruments, while formerly they were not. They are caused for the most part by the cooling of the interior of the earth, which contracts the crust and fractures it at the weakest spots. Further tremors are felt as the crust adjusts itself once more to the new conditions. A machine which records votes automatically has been invented by a young Italian named Signor Bogglano. In shape the "psephograph," as it is called, is like an automatic machine with various slots, into one of which the voter ships his disk. The disk, which is cast in copper, passes through the machine, marks the number on the register of votes and is ejected at the foot of the machine, ready to be handed to the next voter within the space of one second. TEA FROM THE FLOWERS. Naturally Sweet Tea of Western China-Value of Tea Dust. Tea, not from the leaves, but from the flowers alone of the plant, is rarely encountered in commerce. The petals, stamens, etc., are sun dried, and the resulting tea is of a rich, deep brown, hue of peculiarly-delicate odor, and gives a pale amber colored infusion rather more astringent in taste than that from the average fair grade leaf. The taste for it is an acquired one, and even if this tea could be made commercially possible it is doubtful if it would ever become popular. The American sea trade could advantageously take a suggestion from the brick tea of the Far East. In our country, the tea dust, some of which is of good quality, is not properly utilized. In Europe it is a regular article of trade, and it is advertised and sold as tea dust. In America it is sold to thousands of cheap restaurants, who make from it the mixture of tannic acid, sugar and boiled milk which they sell as "tea." If, us in the Orient, this dust were compressed into bricks, good tea could be made from it, and the product would find a ready market through the multitude of uses for which it is adapted. A beginning in this direction has been made by the Pinehurst tea estate in South Carolina, and in Europe similar advances have been inaugurated. The virgin tea (blepjekchi-chi), so called from its use at Chinese weddings, is the sun dried leaf intact, tied up with three strands of colored silk. After infusion, these fagotlike little bundles are pickled in vinegar and used as salad. This tea is sold in especially handsome silk covered and glass topped boxes. The rarest of all teas, and one that has never been known to reach this country, is a naturally sweet tea, produced in western China on a very limited scale. Its culture is centuries old, and the secret has been jealously guarded from generation to generation. The saccharinity is probably due to grafting end years of patient study and care, such as only the small Chinese tea farmer is capable of bestowing.—Scientific American. 'Merry-Go-Round in China. "Andy" Crane, a fifteen-year-old boy of this city, is in Tientsin, China, operating an American "merry-go-round." He is a stepson of "Gus" Baugham, the gambler, who has been in Tientsin for several years and is conducting a large gambling establishment there. Two years ago Baughman sent for his stepson to come, and he went. He looked around awhile and decided that a "merry-go-round" would appeal to the childish natures of the Chinamen. His stepfather gave him-money enough to buy one and he ordered it from America. It was the first one. The boy writes to his folks here that ever seen in that part of China, the Chinamen "go wild" over the whirling machine and the music of its mechanical organ. "They almost break their necks to get on top of the gilded lions and horses," he wrote. He is making from $20 to $50 a day with the machine.—Kansas City-Star Runge (at the bar with a friend)— I have just remembered that I haven't a cent on me. Schulz—That doesn't matter. You're well known here, aren't you? Runge—Unfortunately, yes. Georgia Cullings Georgia Cullings Curtailed Items of Interest Gathered at Random. Negroes Leave for the West. The emigration of negroes from Americus and neighboring territory to southern California may determine the race problem locally to a limited extent. Recently half a hundred Americus colored people have departed for Los Angeles, and encouraging letters of conditions prevailing there are inducing others to go. Baffled by Poison Case. After four days spent in investigating attempts on the life of the Futch family by fire, poison and bomb, the Thomas county grand jury reported that they could not fathom the matter; and recommended that the county employ detectives. Captain Slade Nominated. In the Democratic primary in Muscogee county, to nominate a representative in the general assembly to succeed the late Peter Preer, Captain J. J. Slade was nominated, receiving a majority of about 300 votes over his opponent, H. C. McCutchen. Captain Slade is ex-mayor of the city of Columbus, and a member of a distinguished Georgia family. Central Double Tracking. The Central railway is now engaged in laying thirty miles of track on the line between Macon and Griffin with a view of ultimately using it in the double tracking. The construction is being carried on by officials of the Macon division. The new trackage goes in at the stopping points where trains may be handled with greater facility. Hancock's Representative Returns have been received at the office of the secretary of state showing the election on April 24 of William H. Burwell as representative from Hancock county to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the late Hon. Seaborn Reese. T. L. Reese was Mr. Burwell's opponent in the race, and the result was: Burwell, 371; Reese, 254. Ringleader of Escape Caught. According to information received at the office of the prison commission, Sam Johnson, a former negro preacher and life convict, who led the escape of twelve convicts a few days ago from the Durham coal mines camp in Walker county, has been re-captured. It was erroneously stated that one of the negro convicts was killed in effecting the capture, but it is stated one of them will die as the result of wounds received. Courthouse Cornerstone Laid. The cornerstone of Crisp county's magnificent new court house was laid at Cordele with Masonic honors in the presence of an immense concourse of people. In the absence of Grand Master Meyerhagitt, of Rome, Deputy Grand Master Jeffries of Atlanta conducted the Masonic ceremonies. His address was a masterpiece of oratory and highly appropriate. Judge U. V. Whipple and Rev. Frank W. Cramer also made eloquent addresses. The Daughters of the Confederacy took a prominent part in the exercises. Rate Decision Delayed. The railroad commission will probably not reach a final decision in the passenger rate reduction case before June 1. Two of the members of the commission are authority for this statement. Proper consideration of the matter involves much detail work upon statistical and other information, stacks of which the commission has before it, and it is the announced purpose of the board to go thoroughly into every feature of the case before announcing its conclusion. Educators Well Pleased. After the conclusion of a splendid program the annual officers of the Georgia Educational Association were named at the Macon meeting, and the body adjourned with the satisfaction to the members of having held one of the most profitable sessions in the history of the body. Lawton B. Evans of Augusta is president for another year. Superintendent C. B. Chapman of Macon is first vice president and Miss Mamie L. Plits of Atlanta is second vice president. R. B. Daniel of Valdosta was re-elected secretary and J. C. Wardlaw of Milledgeville was also given his place as treasurer. Warehouse System Planned. Wilkes county is to have a $100,000 corporation, the object of which is to build a system of warehouses in the county for the holding of the local production of cotton. The movement was launched at the meeting of the cotton growers, held in Washington a few days ago. The plan has been endorsed by practically every progressive planter of the county. A committee was appolated to confer with the cotton growers of the neighboring county of Lincoln, and if their cooperation and support can be obtained in the enterprise the system of warehouses will include both Lincoln and Wilkes counties and each will share the benefits. Negro Distillers in Trouble. A M. Hill, colored, and three negro associates in the operation of a large registered distillery in Augusta, were placed under bond before United States Commissioner W. E. Martin in trial at Macon for alleged conspiracy to defraud the government in the payment on the output of his distillery. There were several witnesses up and the revenue officers told a story of how they had worked through more than nine months to make out their case. Hill's distillery has an output of more than 200 gallons per month and it is claimed that he has worked a way of disposing of an extra amount produced. A negro collector, Wimberly, assisted Special Officer Thomas in bringing the negroes to trial. More Peaches Than Anticipated. Returning to Atlanta a few days ago after a visit to Fort Valley and Marshallville, Commissioner of Agriculture Hudson said he was gratified to be able to announce that a much larger crop of peaches will be had from those sections than was anticipated immediately after the freeze. "I was informed by several of the peach growers," Mr. Hudson said, "that there would be approximately a 50 per cent crop at both of those points. A well known Marshallville grower stated at least 150 cars would be shipped from that point, and with the smaller tax on the trees, the fruit will, in all probability be of a finer flavor. Commissioner Hudson further stated that during his visit to southwest Georgia he found that in many places cotton seed were selling at -60 to 75 cents per bushel, and hard to get at that, while the usual price in the plentiful season is 25 and 30 cents. The present demand for seed is occasioned by the large amount of replanting made necessary by the April freeze. STATUS OF CUBAN AFFAIRS Reported Fairly Satisfactory by Taft, Who Has Just Returned. Secretary Taft and party arrived at the Washington navy yard on board the Mayflower Monday night after an absence of exactly a month on a trip that included Panama, Cuba and Porto Rico. The secretary and Mrs. Taft were immediately driven to their residence. Former Governor of Porto Rico Beekman, Winthrop and Mrs. Winthrop were guests of the secretary on the return trip. The others in the party included Representative Burton, of Ohio; Kiltredge, of South Dakota, and Miss Margaret Ide. The party arrived shortly after 11 o'clock. Later Secretary Taft gave out a statement in which he says he found matters in Cuba "in what, under the circumstances, must be considered a very satisfactory condition;" that there is every ground for hope that the plan adopted for a census, preliminary election and then again an election six months later, will result in the selection of a president and congress who will be able to maintain themselves and give a stable rule to the island; and that the delay in taking a census is known by Cubans as an earnest of the American government to secure a stable government before it leaves, "so there will be no excuse for a second intervention." He stated that in Panama the engineers reported to him that the foundations for the locks were entirely satisfactory.

MR. BLUESTONE DISAPPOINTED. Wanted Quaker Solons to Ask Teddy to Run Again. In the Pennsylvania house, Monday, Mr. Bluestone, of Allegheny county, offered a resolution asking President Roosevelt to be a candidate for a second elective term as president. The resolution was defeated by a viva voce, vote without debate. TORNADO SWEEPS TEXAS. One Town Destroyed and Eight Lives Known to Be Lost.

The supreme court of the United States Monday affirmed the decision of the supreme court of Missouri in the appeal of William Spaugh, Jr., under sentence of death in Reynolds county, Missouri, on the charge of murdering Sheriff Polk, of Iron county, that state, while resisting arrest. It was alleged in Spaugh's interest that the sheriff of Reynolds county had sought to influence the jury that tried Spaugh by promising them front seats at Spaugh's execution in case of conviction, but both the Missouri and the federal courts refused to consider the charges as material and both upheld the verdict of the trial court, which found Spaugh guilty of murder in the first degree. EIGHT WORKMEN LOSE LIVES In Collapse of Pier at Locust' Point on Baltimore Harbor. With a roar that terrified thousands, and a rush that drove a wave 6 feet high to distant parts of the harbor of Baltimore, nearly half of the new pier under construction at Locust Point Saturday broke away from the shore and plunged into the water. Out of the wreckage three dead boutes were soon taken, five men are missing, and their bodies are almost certainly beneath the ruins. Eighteen men are suffering from injuries. VAST HORDE OF IMMIGRANTS. Month of April Will Show Total Arrivals of 140,000. How stupendous is the rush of immigration to the New York port this spring is shown in a tabulation which makes its appearance this month that the arrivals will total more than 140,000. There are waiting in the harbor 10,498 men, women, and children, chiefly Italians. When the twenty-five ships due within the next few days arrive there will be waiting in the harbor and at the piers about forty thousand immigrants. WATERWAYS COMMISSION Organizes at Washington and Will Soon Start on Trip. The inland waterways commission recently appointed by the president to determine the commercial possibilities of all streams in the United States as bearers of commerce, will leave Washington on May 13th to visit the Mississippi valley. The commission met and organized Monday in the rooms of the house committee on rivers and harbors. GIRL GETS BIG HUBBY. Heavy-Weight Brinson, Tipping Beam at 585, Weds Again. W. T.

Quarterman to be read at the concert at St. John's Church on Monday night: What is progress? Progress is the law of life. It is to push on and keep moving. Its meaning is whatsoever you find to do lay not idle, but do with all your might, for as prayer is the keynote of heaven. So is industry the keynote to progress. WOMAN. The word, woman, though odd it sounds, is the highest term that can be applied to the feminine sex. Its meaning is great, therefore we should feel insulted when we are hailed by our predecessor as woman. The women of today don't seem to realize their standing in life. We are here for many good reasons, and are of great value. For at the beginning of this beautiful world when God, with His Son, decided to make man after beautifying it with all its luxury and grandeur of life, there was something, else yet left to complete this Eden, which was woman. I imagine that the woman in ancient times was prized more highly by their fellow-men than our women are of today. Our men don't seem to think of the importance and uses of the wo- .I must say not because I am one, but because it's a fact: is one of the principles in life, for without us this world would not be completed. Let us look back as far as the crucifixion. From the beginning of the trial to the ending women stood the test. On that Sabbath morning after the men were placed around the tomb, who interested themselves to seek more about Jesus? Women of course. All that, the world needs today is a few more on that ancient order, such as Susanne, Salome and Mary Magdalene and the world will float. Our men are the greatest lawmakers in the world. They make all laws, but do they act? No, unless the hands of the fair sex bend toward your plans, everything will remain silence, but just as soon as our voices begin to intermingle with that of yours, everything begins to move on as the lark of our early morning air. So therefore, men look up to our women, honor them upon that name, for it is worthy of being praised. BEAUTY. There are women of all classes, sizes, and features that compass beauty. But what is beauty? One would say that it is the mere enclosure of the skin to the outside world, but I will describe it by saying that principle and character, manners and good breeding are beauty. So, women, do not humble yourself if you haven't what others have got. Feel not discouraged—take your cares to Jesus; stand up upon your name, that we may demand respect of our fellow-men, for as I said, the name or word woman is great. AN OPENING FOR MR. CARNEGIE.

Each lodge in the jurisdiction must prepare to observe St. John's Day on June 24. The memory of the patron saint of Masonry must be kept green. The grand secretary has received a large number of returns during the week. Don't fall to forward fees with returns. The Orphans' Home assessments must not be forgotten. Masonry is on a boom. Many good men are receiving its mysteries. The Grand Patron organized an Eastern Star Chapter at Pembroke last week. In a few more weeks he will organize one at Augusta, one at Chauncey and one at Athens. To one who studies into the hidden philosophy of Freemasonry there must come the conviction that the institution is yet many years ahead of the times. For ages, it has taught the eight hour system as deduced from a division of twenty-four inch gauge and yet it is only in recent years that the world at large has made a practical application of this most important economic rule. There is not a single difference existing between man and man today which could not readily be adjusted by a simple application of the principles of Freemasonry. The signboard of Masonry—what is it? It is the Mason who plasters himself over with Masonic emblems, cheap gewgaws purchasable at any jewelry store. As a general thing he doesn't know anything about the catechisms of the several degrees and could not work his way into a lodge if he tried. He enjoys the distinction of having jumped from the northeast corner of the lodge to the minaret of a shrine in the short space of three months, where from his lofty perch he looks down upon the multitude of white-aproned bird fly specks with an air of supreme haughtiness. He has never practiced any one of the five points of fellowship because he doesn't know what they are. His pocket book has never been opened to the widow and the orphan, nor has he displayed the beauties of reciprocal love and friendship. He is not known by his works, but rather by the ornaments he wears. However, he is of some practical use. He is a sign board pointing men toward that noble institution, Freemasonry, where the unselfish man may have an opportunity to labor for humanity and his fellowman.—Ex. The royal grand matron, Mrs. Viola will be in Atlanta May 16 to meet all the chapters of the Eastern Star. Every member of the order ought to be present on that day to greet the grand matron and be benefited by her splendid lecture. Mrs. Hart is a splendid worker full of enthusiasm and good work.—Woman's Advocate. The Grand Patron went to Pembroke last week and organized Zodiac Chapter on Friday with a number of prominent ladies of that section. Following are the officers: Mrs. M. A. McDaniels, R. M. Mr. J. R.
