VOL. XXII. LIGHT ON BUTCHERY Mystery of Wholesale Murder in Florida Cleared. TWO MEN UNDER ARREST Prisoners Are Charged With Murder of Ackerman Family of Nine People in Florida About a Year Ago. Although a year has elapsed since the Ackerman family, composed of husband and wife and seven children, was murdered and then burned in Santa Rosa county, Fla., near Pensacola, detectives have just procured information which on last Monday caused the arrest of two white men, Joe Stanley and William C. Smith, who are charged with having committed the crime. Stanley was arrested in Geneva, Ala., while Smith was found at Gonzales, Fla., and carried to Milton, the county site of Santa Rosa county. When it was discovered that the mouse in which the Ackerman family resided had been burned, an investigation ensued, and, while it was at first thought that the entire family had become suffocated and, thus unable to leave the building, it was later discovered that several of the older members, particularly the father, wife and older son, had been struck on the head, the skulls being crushed. It was also found that the father had arisen from the bed and had evidently seized his shotgun to night for the lives of his family, as the gun was found lying near his enarred body, with one hand resting upon it. The jury could not fix the crime upon any one, and shortly afterwards both Stanley and Smith left that county. Rewards amounting to nearly twenty-five hundred dollars were offered, and detectives were induced to work up the case, land, while it required a year to do so, they now claim that they have strong information against the two men. Dr. John Watson (Ian MacLaren) Victim of Blood Poisoning. Dr. John Watson (Ian MacLaren) died Monday morning at Mount Pleasant, Ia. The cause was blood poisoning, the result of tonsillitis. He was taken ill at Mount Pleasant April 25. The Rev. John Watson (Ian MacLaren) was born at Morning Tree, Essex, England, November 3, 1850. He received his education at Edinburgh University and in Germany; was ordained a minister in 1875. He was appointed Lyman Beecher lecturer at Yale University in 1896, and was made minister of Sefton Park Presbyterian church, Liverpool, in 1880, retaining that position until 1905. Among the publications of Ian MacLaren, were, besides the "Bonnie Brilar, Brush," "The Days or Auld Lang Syne," "A Doctor of the Old School," etc., and among the work signed John Watson are "The Mind of the Master," "The Cure of Souls," "The Potter's Wheel," "Companions of the Sorrowful Way," "The Life of the Master," "Doctrines of Grace," "The Homely Virtues," and "The Inspiration of Faith." LIST OF THIRTY-FIVE NAMES Included in Lottery Indictments by United States Grand Jury. The federal grand jury, which has been sitting in Mobile, Ala., since April 1, has just made its final report. The lottery conspiracy indictments include a list of thirty-five names, of which twenty-three have already been printed. Five of the names are still withheld, the persons not having been arrested. All except twelve of the persons indicted have been arrested and four of them have entered pleas of guilty and have secured suspensions of sentence until May 27. ROBBERS KILL ENGINEER.

When the train stopped two robbers sprung from aditch, shooting the engineer dead and wounding the fireman. The robbers lost their nerve and fled after killing the engineer. They made no efforts to enter the express or mail cars. The Savannah Tribune. TWENTY MEN CRUSHED Wall of Big Dam Gives Way and Mexican Workmen Are Whelmed Under Avalanche of Debris. A special of Friday from Chihuahua, Mexico, says: Without an instant's warning the great walls of the Chluvuscar dam gave way Thursday, engulfing nearly forty men under the enormous weight of masonry and water, between fifteen and twenty of whom are dead, and thirteen injured and others unaccounted for. Some of the injured will die. All of the victims are Mexicans. Meager details of the affair reached San Antonio, Texas, early Friday morning, when the judicial authorities and several surgeons departed immediately for the scene. The disaster is only the last of a large number which have recently claimed nearly 200 victims in that section, and mostly in the neighborhood of Chihuahua. The authorities are making a thorough investigation into the present catastrophe and will severely punish those upon whom they place the blame. According to one version of the affair the men were working on a foundation close to the foot of the main rampart of the dam, which had already been constructed. The main wall was weak and gave out under the water pressure. The dam was being put in for irrigation and stock watering purposes, and was a large enterprise. The loss will be heavy. AFTER THIRTY YEARS FREE Aged Man Is Arrested Under Indictment for Murder. William G. Graham, an old man of 70 years, who was indicted in Madison county, Georgia, at the March, 1877, term of the superior court for the murder of William King, but who made his escape from the scene of the crime immediately after its commission, was last Friday morning placed under arest, ten miles northwest of Gainesville, Ga., at Bolding's mill, in the upper part of Hall county, by Sheriff Orr, of Dawson county, to whom the warrant was sent by the Madison county sheriff a few days ago. The facts of the killing are, of course, meagre, but few of the present day remembering them. However, it is said by a former citizen of Madison county, who is now living in Gainesville, that a difficulty arose between Graham and King, as they came out of a stream, or pond, where they had been in swimming. It is said that King came at Graham with an open knife, when the latter brained King with a stick, inflicting such serious injuries that King died shortly thereafter. It is also understood that Graham left Madison county on the night that the sheriff went to his house to arrest him on a warrant charging him with murder. Graham went to Hall county, and located near where he was arrested. He has conducted himself properly since he has resided there, and is held in estem by the people of that community. Graham has a wife, who is older than himself, and she is nearly blind. The old man took his arrest calmly. His neighbors never suspected he was wanted for murder, and his arrest caused much discussion. The crime has been well nigh forgotten in Madison county, owing to time elapsed since its commission. ATLLANTA SIGNS FOR FAIR. Contract With Georgia State Agricultural Society is Approved. The final plans for holding the Georgia State Fair in Atlanta next October were perfected Friday when a contract was signed by the Georgia State Agricultural Society and the Atlanta Fair Association on the completion of the guarantee fund of $15,000 required. Under the contract the date of the fair will be from October 10 to 26, which will give two weeks for the fair. BIG BUILDING IS GUTTED. Fire in Kansas City Causes Loss of Life and Heavy Property Damage. Fire in Kansas City Wednesday afternoon destroyed the five-story University building, causing a property loss estimated at a quarter of a million dollars. One life was lost, six persons are missing, and may be buried in the ruins, and fifteen persons were more or less seriously injured. The building was occupied by Montgomery Ward & Co., as offices, and by numerous artists and musicians, who lost everything. SAVANNAH. $ ^{\circ} $ GA.. SATURDAY. MAY 11. 1907. STRINGS ATTACHED To Pennsylvania Railroads By Your Uncle Sam. In Great Majority of Cases Fines Do Not Mean Sums Paid—Some Samples of the Varlous Excuses Offered. A Washington special says: Declaring it to be his purpose to have no concealment in connection with the fines levied against transportation companies carrying the malls, Second Assistant Postmaster General McCleary Friday gave out some figures in connection with the Southern railway and the Central of Georgia railway, which are interesting. These figures show that fines for delays are being regularly levied. It is declared moreover, that they will be collected. Still the railroads are given an opportunity to show cause why they should not be penalized for late arrivals of trains, which cause delays in the delivery of mall. Failure to perform satisfactory mall service according to contract has recently subjected the Southern to a single fine of $1,000, it is announced. For the quarter ending December 31, 1906, during which so many serious and protracted delays occurred on trains entering Atlanta, the Southern road was due to earn for the transportation of mail matter and rent of postal cars, a total of $244,225.70. Against this it is announced that nines were levied aggregating $18,328.26. On the main line of the Southern between Washington and Danville, the fines for 'delinquencies'" as the department designates delays, and failure to perform satisfactory its service as mail carrier, fines levied amounted to 10 per cent of the total pay due the road. On the Central of Georgia railroad between Atlanta and Savannah, and on the Atlanta, Albany, Montgomery, Ala., and Columbia, Ala., line the amount due to be earned was $32,168.80, and the total of fines levied on these lines-for the quarter was $703.59. The work of the division of inspection of the postoffice department which has charge of tabulating the fines against transportation companies and keeping the accounts, is always three months behind in its work. For instance the roads are required to make an affidavit of the failures in mail train service at the end of each quarter. The department works over these figures during the next quarter and at the beginning of second quarter following casts up its second quarter following casts up its accounts and the roads are permitted to submit applications for remission of fines. Even broken-down and worn-out equipment, which very frequently causes delays, will not subject the leads to punishment, if, when such delays occur, it is shown that the equipment was properly inspected and found to be in satisfactory condition when the train pulled out for the run. When a settlement is finally reached it is fully possible. In view of the excuses accepted by the department, that fully 50 per cent of the fines may be remitted. The following excuses for late arrivals are held to be satisfactory. 1. Waiting for mail connection A railroad cannot escape fines for delays caused by waiting for a connection unless such connection is a mail train from which mails are to be received. 2. Breakage of machinery, hot boxes and trains breaking in two after proper inspection; provided the equipment was in good condition at the time of such inspection. 3. Repairs or damage to bridges. 4. Wrecks, slow track, soft track and slippery rails, when satisfactorily explained. Contractor Was Pald $90,748 and Only Expended $2,060. According to the advance report of the auditors of the capital investigating committee at Harrisburg, Pa., Jno. H. Sanderson & Co., Philadelphia, were paid $117,258 for the furnishings of the house caucus room of the new capitol and $88,242 for the furnishings of the senate caucus room. The most expensive furnishings in these rooms were the rostrums, for which Sanderson was paid $90,748, and for which he paid $2,060 to the sub-contractor who supplied them. JILTED LOVER'S REVENGE Sent Infernal Machine to Sweetheart But Was Opened by Mother With Disastrous Results. An infernal machine, thought to have been sent by a jealous lover to Miss Kate McCarthy; of 447 East Georgia avenue, Atlanta, exploded when Mrs. Julia McCarthy, her mother, tried to open it Wednesday night, about 9 o'clock, and the explosion was so terrific that the house was nearly demolished and Mrs. McCarthy painfully and perhaps seriously injured. Whole sections of the floor were torn up, doors were thrown down, furniture overturned, glasses smashed, and the house wrecked, as if a cyclone had struck it. Plastering fell from all the walls, a wardrobe was thrown ten feet and fell across a bed, books were hurled from one room to another, crockery was shattered and a cook stone overturned. A section of the floor which had been directly beneath the place where the explosion took place was found on a lower floor. When the explosion occurred Mrs. McCarthy, was hurled across a hall, and fell staggering backwards into a rear room. There she partially recovered, and was enabled to make her way out of the house. The noise from the explosion was heard for blocks around, and many houses were shaken. Near neighbors thought there was an earthquake, and ran frightened upon their front porches to ascertain what it, all meant. Near midnight detectives arrested Fred Bush, connected with a produce firm of the city, on suspicion. Bush was in bed when the detectives arrived. In his room, corner Whitehall and Mitchell streets, were found two big pistols. Asked at police station about the explosion at the McCarthy home, he said: "I do not know a God's thing about it except what" Sergeant Lanford told me." Miss Kate McCarthy, to whom the package was addressed, had gone to the theater in company with a man named Doolittle, the business partner of Bush. POLICE BALK STRIKERS. Cars in 'Frisco Make Runs Without Much Difficulty. A conference was held in San Francisco Wednesday a. m. between Mayor Schmitz, Patrick Calhoun, president of the United Railways, and Richard Cornellius, president of the Car Men's Union. The mayor proposed that the case be submitted to a committee of fifty citizens to be appointed by him. President Calhoun did not accept the suggestion, but stated that he would see his colleagues in reference to the matter. President Cornellius said that while he had no objection to the appointment of such a committee, he could not agree to its acting as a board of arbitration. The mayor then declared his intention of appointing the committee regardless of the opinion of either Calhoun or Cornellius. At 2:50 o'clock Wednesday afternoon two cars, manned by strikebreakers, left the car barns and made one round trip without much difficulty. At one point a man in a buggy drew a pistol, but a dozen policemen were after him before he had time to shoot. The nfan dropped the revolver and ran, but was soon captured. At another place a carpenter working on a building threw a hatchet at one of the cars. He was a prisoner in less than a minute. The temper of the police was radically different from that of Tuesday. They showed a disposition to watch the cars and to prevent union men from throwing missiles. INCREASE IN RURAL ROUTES. Report on the Operation of Service Up to First of May. The report on the operations of the rural delivery service up to May 1, last, made public at Washington Monday by the fourth assistant postmaster general, shows that the total number of petitions for the service received up to that date were 54,837, upon which 15,537 adverse reports have been made. There are now in operation' 37,597 rural routes. MORE CASH NEEDED To Complete the Buildings at Jamestown Exposition. BOND ISSUE IS PLANNED Company Finds Itself in Sore Straits and Appeals to Government Without Success—Bonds Amount' to $400,000. A. Norfolk dispatch says: To complete in detail the construction of the Jamestown exposition and liquidate all the floating indebtedness of the exposition company, the board of directors of the Jamestown Exposition Company, at a meeting late Saturday evening, authorized the issuance of $400,000 in bonds, the 500 acres of improved property, including magnificent permanent buildings, being offered as security. The matter of negotiating the bonds was/left with the board of governors and Treasurer Beaman. Washington Not Surprised. A Washington special says: An announcement that the Jamestown Exposition Company finds itself impoverished before the exposition buildings and grounds are completed was received with no surprise by government, officials. From the time the company came to congress and to the executive departments of the government with requests for appropriations there has been a tendency among the government people to refuse as far as possible all concern in the Jamestown exposition. It was only the last days of the last session of congress that the attempt to secure a substantial appropriation was successful. That the company was in sore straits for money was evident ten days before the exposition was formally opened. A meeting of the board of directors of the company was called, and it was decided to postpone the opening owing to the lamentably unfinished condition of the buildings and grounds. This would subject the company to law suits for damages to concessionalries, an expense it was in no condition to stand, even if the exposition had to be opened in an unprepared state. Before the announcement by the company that it needs $350,000 to complete the buildings and grounds an attempt was made to get help from the United States government, but the government was not be won over to the plan, and the company then evolved the plan of getting out a bond issue, secured by the land on which the exposition stands. PROMISES EXACT JUSTICE. Roosevelt Puts Haywood-Moyer Affair Up to Lahor People In a letter read Sunday before the Central Federation Union, in New York, President Roosevelt states that if evidence is submitted to him showing that there has been a miscarriage of justice for or against Moyer and Haywood, awaiting trial at Boise, Idaho, charged with the murder of Former Governor Steunenberg, he will bring such evidence to the attention of the attorney general for such action, if any, as it may be in the power of the federal authorities to take. SOUTHERN WILL FIGHT. Reductions in South to Be Resisted in Courts. News reaches Washington that the Southern railway will resist in the courts the attempt to put into effect any reduction of rates as provided for by various state legislatures in the south. Alabama has passed a law providing for a 2 1-2 cent rate, North Carolina has placed the rate at 2 1-4 cents on all roads over 60 miles long and Virginia has adopted a measure for a flat rate of 2 cents. FOUND GUILTY OF PEONAGE. Prominent Florida Man Convicted in Federal Court at Tampa. F. I. Howden, general manager of the Prairie Pebble Phosphate Company, at Mulberry, Fla., was convicted Monday afternoon of peonage by a jury in the United States court, at Tampa, after two days' trial, Judge Locke reserved sentence. The court immediately proceeded with the trial of W. C. Sprott, marshal of Mulberry, on a similar charge. The complainants in the case were Brodsky and Boreskl, Russians. Among the Masons Do not delay in sending in your grand lodge returns to the grand secretary. Each lodge is urged to make arrangements for the proper observance of St. John's day, June 24. Where there are two or more lodges in one locality there must be appointed a joint committee to arrange for the celebration. Let the day be grandly observed and have it to cement the feeling of brotherly love. Union is that kind of friendship that should appear conspicuous in the conduct of every Mason. The Grand Lodge meets in Americus on Tuesday, June 11th. Each lodge must be represented there. We are fully satisfied that any allegation of improper or unmasonic conduct of a Mason, affiliated or not, may be entertained by a lodge; and, after investigation as to the charges, either by the master or a committee appointed by him, these may be properly formulated and presented to the lodge for trial according to the regulations of that jurisdiction. The investigation preliminary to a trial should not be public, but so conducted that no scandal can ensue, if the case be not prosecuted to an issue. William R. Singleton, D. C. The expression "On the square" is not uncommon with a certain glass of Masons. We have heard it more or less for many years, ever since we were presented with a square as one of the working tools of our profession as a Mason, and received instructions as to its Masonic use. We were then taught that it was an instrument made use of by operative Masons to square their work, but to us as a speculative Mason it was an emblem of morality even to remind us of squaring all our actions by the square of virtue. The impression made upon our mind was that in the new character we were then assuming we were placed under an additional obligation to deal honestly and uprightly in all our intercourse with mankind and especially so with a brother Mason. Every one, who has been initiated into Freemasonry has been instructed in like manner, and so universally has this symbolism, been accepted that many outside of the order have learned to use it to express the same idea.—Mystic Light. The grand lecturer of Michigan (white) has begun a campaign to get the reference to gloves eliminated from Masonic history. He presented a report upon the matter to grand lodge at its last session, but that body declined to take any action at that time. His position was that gloves are intended to protect the hands from cold and would not be needed in Palestine and that gloves were not in existence at the time of the building of the temple, over two thousand years before the birth of Christ, they having been invented in the middle ages^In connection with feudalism.—Light. When the word is yet unspoken you are master of it; when once it is spoken it is the master of you.—Ex. DAYTONA, FLA., NOTES. Mr. C. A. Zanders, who has been in Miami all the winter, came up last week and spent some time with his family and then left for Jamestown to spend the summer. Little Johnnie and Lorney Carry are spending some time with their grandfather and mother at Welborn, Fla. Mrs. Julia F. Singleton is on the sick list this week. Mrs. Lilly Struffin spent several days in DeLand. Mr. B. DeLyons has left for Charleston. We regret very much to see Mr. DeLyons and family leave our city. We hope for them a success in their new field of labor. We regret to hear that Mrs. E. J. Bryant, one of our teachers, had to leave for her home in Tamna. Mrs. Bryant has taught six successful terms in our city. We are still in need of rain in this part of the state. Quite a number of our boys have gone up to Hastings to work in the potato business. Mrs. Anna Edwards, who has been in our city all the winter, has left for her home in Tampa. An excursion was given by Mr. R. S. Gadlen and Mr. T. Smith to Tonaka, May 1, and carried about 200 persons. Just as the excursionists were getting ready to return one boat left the wharf and anchored out, and as the other boat started to the dock it caught on fire and destroyed it. No one was injured. Some walked and the others came on the train and the other boat. Miss Druzilla Morgan is spending a white in Orange City. Largest Sick and Death Benefits; Smallest Premiums.

After long deliberation the jury in the case of Alexander R. Chisholm, at Birmingham, former paying teller, charged with having embezzled $190,000 from the First National Bank of Birmingham, which sum, it is alleged, he lost in cotton speculation, brought in a verdict of guilty shortly after 10 o'clock Tuesday morning and fixed punishment at six years in the federal prison at Atlanta. When asked if he had anything to say as to why sentence should not be pronounced, Chisholm arose and said that he regarded the verdict as a just one; that he was not crazy and never had been insane, but he regretted the affair very much. Sentence was then pronounced. It is stated that Col. Robert Chisholm, father of the prisoner, privately requested Judge Hundley to have the sentence imposed and become effective at once. This request the court is said to have granted. In passing sentence Judge Hundley said that in view of the youth of the prisoner he did not feel justified in giving him the maximum sentence—ten years—but in view of the enormity of the crime and the vigor of the defense he would not be justified in giving him the minimum penalty—five years. He, therefore, made the sentence six years. MARVIN BOY FOUND DEAD. Little Body Mysteriously Placed Near Father's Home. A special from Dover, Delaware, says: Lying in a marshy piece of land, the body of little Horace Marvin, son of Dr. H. N. Marvin, whose mysterious disappearance had baffled solution since March 4, was found about half a mile from the Marvin farm Saturday by Ollie Pleasanton, a farmer. Pleasanton, who lives on a farm adjoining Marvin's, came upon the child's body while out gunning. The child lay face downward in a patch of meadow grass. There was no mark on the body indicating foul play, and it was in a good state of preservation. The theory that the child had been recently placed where he was found is supported by the fact that Dr. Marvin, as well as detectives, had stood on the very spot, when they burned the grass from it. Further than this, the marsh has been trampled over time and time again by neighbors; and no sign of the child was seen. HOME OFFICE WEST BROAD STREET, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. Phone 1198. Ga.

Of course, it will take him some time to demonstrate whether his belief is well founded or not. In the mean- time the people must possess them- selves in patience and in the assur- ance that Professor Hansen will work out the problem as quickly and faith- fully as any man can. - Breeding Heifers Too Young. An eminent Jersey breeder says that one mistake many farmers make is in breeding Jersey heifers too young. A better way Is to let them get their growth, at least three years. Keep them in a separate lot if neces- sary after they are eighteen months old. If permitted to bring calves be- fore they have ‘their growth they make small cows and yield less mill. ‘The calves also are smaller as a rule. It is not always ‘best to be in too big @ hurry to get ahead in the world. A space of six or nine months is not so long to wait, and it 1s infinitely bet- ter for the cow. It may be said, how- ever, that even great minds differ on this point. Curine Sheep Skins. This is sent in “By one who knows:" Take a spoonful of alum and two of saltpetre; pulverize and mix well together, then.sprinkle the powder on the flesh side of the skia, and lay the two powdered sides to- gether, leaving the wool outside. ‘Theh fold the skin up as tight as you can, and put it in a dry place. In two or three days, or as soon as it is dry, take it downand open and scrape the flesh side with a blunt knife un- til it fs clean and supple. This com- pletes the process, and makes an cr- cellent. saddle cover. Other skins which it is desired to cure with the hair on may be treated in the same manner. If It is desired to use the skin for a rug, it should be well washed in soap suds, rinsed‘in run- ning water, and let get partly dry, then, rubbed together until it is ‘soft and dry.—Tne Commoner. The Mardy Galloway. * A breed quite popular in the older part of the country is the Galloway. Its long, thick, curly hair affords un- usual protection against the weather conditions, and ulzo adds to the value of the hide. Galloway rigs, robes and overcoats resemble those of the buffalo and sell at high prices. The reed does not rank high as a milk pfoducer, being distinetively a beef maker, although now and then a cow is found which gives twenty’ quarts or so of milk per day, but only in exceptional cases. The quality of tHe beef is famous in the EngUsh market and the cattle are good and uniform teeders, Some American stockmen have claimed, however, that the Galloways gain less for the amount of feed than some other breeds, and of late years their atten- tidn has been given to selection with a view to securing a wider backed, Dlockier type, which should. fatten more easily without loss of, hardiness and ability to resist cold, so charac- teristic of the breed.—American Cul- tivator. Ss Teeth of Horses. In a discussion on this subject a horseman of much experience says: Decaying teeth are not uncommon in horses. This condition fs usually indicated by a fetid discharge from the nostril or a fetid breath. In some cases difficulty 1s experienced In Jo- cating the diseased tooth, but when the disease has advanced to that stage In which it can be located, it must be extracted. Woit teath (those small, supernu- merary teeth, which appear in front of the first molars in the upper rows) are dencrally supposed to have an in- furious effect upon the eyes. This is 4 mistaken idea. They seldom do harm unless they are white and in such a pooitioa that they interfere with masta wn; but being super- numerary and having no function they should be extracted. T ~ some- what coumnion habit of knocking the crowns off should no. he followed. They should be * awn with a pair of forceps. We repeat that sufficient attention Is not given ,to horses’ teeth, and that a dollar spent for having them dressed in usually a good investment, while a bungling fob does mere harm titan good. Farm Cheese Making. The Department of Agriculture gives the following plain diréctions for making cheese on the farm: Use milk three or four hours old, that has been held at about seventy degrees and which has not yet com- menced to sour. Ieat to about eigh- ty-six degrees, add commercial ren- iy fy Regia Rien alata eian inal detain edi pounds of milk. Allow to coagulate for about thirty or forty minutes, break the curd with a spoon or three- cornered stick until the particles are the size of the end of the small fin- ger; heat slowly to about 100 de- grees, stirring almost constantly In the meantime and alloy to stand at 100 degrees until the curd becomes very firm. 5 . A few experiments along this line ‘will show how firm the ‘curd needs to be, but roughly it may be stated that it will require about two and one-half hours from the time the curd is broken. Drain off the whey, stir the curd for fiftecn or twenty minutes, allow- ing to cool slowly. Salt at the rate of two and one-half pounds sait to, 1009 pounds of milk, put in a mold, squa¥e or round, as desired, and ap- ply considerable~ pressure. ? The amount of pressure required Is rather Indefinite, but should not be less than 100 pounds to each cheese. The uten- sils required are a thermometer, tin vessel for heating and a measure for measuring the rennet ettract. These can be purchased from any supply house. After cheese comes out of the press {t should be cured in a cool place in the usual way many times described. Begia Anew. Begin with the,cows. Get better ones. It is goingsto take some time and money to do that, but there will be a whole lot of satisfaction in it and we will profit by it from the very start. One man muy be situated so that he can buy a few good cows and a thoroughbred bull to head his dairy. That man will start out with a little advantage over the one who {s handicapped by lack of funds. It will not be long before he will begin to see results that will amaze him. It only takes a little while to put so much new life into a herd of cows that. the entire farm economy feels the inspiration and sets out on the road for better thhigs. But if a man has not the ready money to put Into choice cows the thing to do is to begin with what he has. It will not cost much to get a good bull éalf somewhere among the neighbors. I Waveknown cases where it-was possible to‘trade,a good scrub calf for a fullblopd with a neighbor who had no use /for the calf except to make veal of him. That is a good way to begin. Or it may be we can get a heifer calf or two that way. If not, it is a mgtter of only a few dollars to buy oné, if it cannot be had by trading. Thgt 1s a govd start. Then graft the nw stock on the old and ree how zajeeeioie will be" the result in a few fears. 7 It almost always turns out ‘that when a man has been to the trouble ofegetting this start, he will have so mtich ambition to make a success ot it tha@he will take the best care he ean of the new calf or the cows he has bought. That means thats great deal in the success of the venture. If I were asked to tell In one word what was the real secret of success among the dairymen I know, I be- Meve that word would be care. Everything depends pn that. ‘You may take the best calf you can buy or the choicest cow and give them poor care and the outcome will be nothing worth white. The rian who is not willing to. bestow care on his stock need not look for any great de- gree of success. He will not have it, it he does, for he will ‘not be worthy of it. No success ever comes to the man who will not work and work hard for it—E. L. Vincent, in the Indiana Farmer. Farm Notes. . : The flavor of. butter largely de- pends on the food the cows cat. | Regularity in feeding and milking makes cows give more milk. The butter will not come as quickly when the churn is almoSt full of cream. > The néwly Hatched chicks do not need anything to eat until forty-eight hours old. > Rapid churning will aot get as miuch butter out of cream as slow churning will. <It Js a useless waste of time and Money to have more poultry than can be taken care of well. . . Young chickens on pasture need feed three time a day until a month, old, then twice a day. a It is safe to grease the head of every chicken even if tlie mother and chicks are free from llce. That is a ‘good way to keep them so.“ ‘The main difference between tim- othy and clover haying lies in the fact that there is less chance for the loss of leaves with-the timothy. ‘The time to cut alfalfa is just as it 4s beginning to loom. After the be gifining of the flowering ‘period, the hay rapidly eterforates In nutritive value. For some reason ducks are not very popular as a fowl to ralse, al- though they are free from disease, are easily bred and easily raised, if they receive good attention. Of course even timothy should bo haus¢d or stacked in a bright condi- tion if it fs to be marketed, but rain and-sunburn do not damage it nearly so seriously as they do clover.

Frenchman Says Observation From tho Decks of Ships Has Created an Illusion, 4M. Bertin, a Frenchman, has been making new observations of the size of ocean billows. He says they are greatly overestimated when the term “mountainous” is applied to them. ‘The longest waves he measufed wore 2,590 feet ¢rom crest to crest, he says, and thelr average duration swas 23 seconds. They were not very high, only about 50 feet or one-fiftieth of their span. Indeed, he Is of opinion that the greatest height ever reached by waves in open water Is Mifty feet, and he accounts for.higher estimates by say- ing that they have heretofore been observed for the most part from the decks of ships, and the perspective ‘effect resulting trom looking up along the slopes has misled the eye and Judgment. 2 When waves become breakers, striking against some obstacle, there is no doubt that great masses of water are hurled to a height of 100 feet and volumes of spray are flung: and dlown still higher. Very few waves 2,500 feet long and 60 feet high are ever encountered, he adds, In average bad weather the waves run from 160 to 320 fest from crest to crest and ¢heir height seldom exceeds 33 feet, Their duration {2 not over 6 to 8 seconds. Hammer Oldest Implement, The hammer, besides being a tool of universal use, is probably the old- est representative of a mechanic's tool kit, The hammer was originally a stone ¢astened to @ handle with thongs, and, Jt was as useful as a weapon as a tool. Hammers are represented on the monuments of Egypt twenty centuries before our era. They greatly resem- ble the hammer now In use, save that there were no claws on the back for the extraction of nails. Claw Ham- mers were Invented some time during the Middle Ages. IMuminated manu- scripts of the eleventh century repre sent carpenters with claw hammers. Hammers are of all sizes, from the dainty Instruments used by the jewel. ler, which weigh less than halt an ounce, to the gigantic fifty ton ham- mer of shipbuilding establishments, some of which have a falling force of from ninety to 100 tons. Every trade has its own hammer and its own way of using It.—Baltimore Sun, MORE BOXES OF GOLD And Many Greenbacks. 325 boxes of Gold and Greenbacks will be sent to persons who write the most interesting and truthful letters of experience cathe following topics: 1.

One reason why the average wom- an wears out and grows old and plain is that, through a mistaken {dea of duty, she lays out for herself at the beginaing of married life a scieme of duty of which every hour is filled with work, seys a correspondent. This she follows religiously for years, feeling that she has done her duty. She, however, soon becomes merely a machine, Can any woman keep brightness, originality of thought, or even good looks, with such a life? And, without those things, how can she keep her husband and children fuil of loving admiration?

Tashionable Color Ficht On. “Women with a wealth of fair halr and blue eyes have found that green, as a color, not only briigs out the azure of the orbs, but also suits thelr hair,” said a dark-haired girl, “and a fight with fashion between two col- ors will undoubtedly be the result. Dark or brown haired women have shown their preference for a delicate tint of brown and dresses of this color are seen often in Fifth avenue. But blue eyes have gone to the green and tle result may be a toss-up and a combination of the two colors. In this case, however, the girl with the blue eyes who longs for an emerald green dress will be disappointed with the blending of brown, as the latter color will predominate. However, all the fight will be over when the white of summer comes with the hot weath- er and then the gfeen and the brown will disappear."—New York Press. ‘Tre Helpless Poor. - The helplessness of some women of tie poorer classes in the matter of feeding babies was, brought out at a coroner's court at Leigh, says the Dundee Advertiser. A child of. two years had been killed by a meal of lver and bacon and becfsteak, and the mother could not realize that there was anything extraordinary in the diet. Medical men who practice in Ancoats wage a continuous battle against this sort of thing, and one of them, at a meeting of the Ancoats Healthy Homes Society, told some ex- Periences that would have been amus- ing if they had not so grim a signifi- cance. “I was called one day,” he said, “to see a ~tck baby, and found the mother feeding it with little pleces of corned beef. ‘My good woman,’ I said, ‘you must not feed the baby with that sort of stuf.’ ‘Well, sir,’ she replied, ‘what am I to feed him with?

For several months past Harper's Bazar has been publishing a unique series of papers in which a writer. who signs herself simply “An Elder- ly Woman" has been revealing many secrets of an old woman's heart. In the last Bazar she says, among oth- er things: - “Each generation permits a differ- ent type of young zirl, but the older, woman must not change, her outline 4s fixed and imfaovable. She must ve like Eleanor’s grandmother, “‘al- ways there"—walting with a smiling face through the long, quiet, empty hours, for her grandchildren to come home. I do not think I am exagger- ating when I say that there Is no class of society so bound down by convention, and for no sood reason, as are the oldest of all. A young. and pretty woman must, of course, walk carefully alongslife's paths; sho must take care to avold even the ap- nearatice of evil. As she grows ollier a suitable amount of convention in the mother of a family ts a whole- some balance. But when a woman grows old, when she has climbed the ladder of-years beyond the point where scandal could touch her, ono would think that she might Jay aside minor conventions of life, that at last she might do what she pleased, only limited by her own falling strength. There are so few things, after all, left for us to do, 50 few that we have the heart left for, or the wish for now, that it would seem only right that we should follow our caprice in the small matters that still belong to us.”” “as aaa Sicoucwest ft FASHIONS, Sahel KER KF ae Any number of the new tailor suits show the long tunic effect, A great many of the short-sleeved. coats have the cutaway fronts.

We have received a neatly gotten up catalogue of Howard University, Washington, D. C. Since the selection of Dr. W. P. Thirkield as its head, the university has taken on new life. The courses of study have been reversed with the addition of several new studies. WHEN it comes to the Negro question as in other things, our white friends are inconsistent. There are some who argue that the Negro should be deported and there are others who are to the reverse. Georgia has a law prohibiting the enticing of laborers from the State and it is rigidly enforced, and yet the Negroes are worthless and should be deported. ABOUT two weeks ago the upper house of the Florida legislature passed a bill aiming at the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution of the United States in that the desire was to disfranchise the colored voters of the State. The bill came up in the lower house for consideration on Wednesday and it was defeated by a large vote. GEORGIA added to its lawlessness by the lynching of a colored man near the home of Tom Watson, this week. His offence was the shooting of a white man. If a full and unprejudiced statement could be gotten of the cause leading, up to the trouble, we would declare that advantage was taken of the lynched man. We do not say so because of his color, but because of the misstatements that are sent abroad about such affairs. ONE of the heritages of our people in this country is the old time songs. It has been noted that there are certain ones among us who are against these melodies, because as they say, they bring to memory the days of slavery and their harrowing scenes. But we should not feel ashamed of those days. We were not voluntary slaves, but were kept thus by force and by those who were unmindful of the justness of God. These old time melodies were the outcrop of those days, they are original and were sung by our patriotic foreparents, who prayed and sang so long before the shackles were taken from us. These songs should be perpetuated and our children should be taught to revere them, and not decry them as was done by a few when they were sung at a public gathering last week, and which is justly commented on by one of our white friends. SOME years ago the Blair educational bill held a prominent place for passage in congress, but it was opposed bitterly by the Southern members of that body. The passage of that bill would have greatly benefitted the South. It is now being developed that some of the Southerners headed by sentiment in Atlanta are wishing for Federal aid to education We are heartily in favor of it and hope that congress would deal liberally in the matter, but in the event of the passage of such a bill it is hoped that the colored citizens would be dealt with more considerately than they are now being dealt with in the division of the land script fund in this state. Of this money Georgia gets about $32,000 and out of it $8,000 are supposed to be given the colored industrial college in this county Of this same money Georgia has about $24,000 tied up in its vaults and has refused to use it for the good of the colored children. This reminds us that since the establishment of the colored state college, Georgia has given less than $10,000 for its support, and this institution has been established over fifteen years ago. This shows the partly manner in which the colored children in the State are being treated. Another Form From the Ladies Home Journal. An Intelligent Southern Woman, judging from her handwriting and the appearance of her letter, writes: "Our local paper says you have accepted a musical composition by——, of this city. He is a Negro, and I protest against having Southern music portrayed by a Negro, No Negro can correctly reflect the music of our people. Negroes do not know the finer musical feelings of the Southern people. Portray our music, yes; we will welcome it. But it must be done by white people; do it as you did in the compositions of Southern Negro life of Cole and Johnson. They came very close to being classics of their kind; we accept them gladly and unreservedly as good musically and as correctly reflective. But no Negro can do this!" And yet Messrs. Cole and Johnson, whose work this woman so highly praises are Negroes. The South's "Unused Relligious Sentiment. "The South is rich in sentiment, especially in religious sentiment. It constitutes our chief asset. A wise man recently remarked, "The largest force latent in the South is unused religious sentiment." Electricity had been diffused throughout the atmosphere from primordial times; but Franklin's tiny thread, by bringing this elusive agency to practical uses, has transformed the world. So with our religions sentiment. In the South to-day there are exhaustless stores of electric energy in every great denomination, which if rightly drawn upon, may work wonders in transforming social, moral and racial conditions. With such reservoirs of religious sentiment as we have, it becomes our primary duty to open up practical channels of activity in which it can flow, out beneficently to all mankind. The cause of the child in groping for the door of opportunity through the school; the improvement of economic conditions as regards the farm, the factory and the home; the abolition of the saloon, which paralyzes thrift and increase sorrow; the duty to uplift the Negroes among us and to find some rational ground for the two races dwelling upon our soil; to strengthen our educational institutions with a view to the advancement of truth and the service of mankind; to visit with hope the neglected masses who are without an open vision, and to kindle in their breasts a consciousness of the fact that they may become partakers of the divine nature; to make known to heathen people Jesus' way of thinking and living and working; to project civic ideals and to energize the public conscience in their attainment; to meet the immigrant at the port and to welcome him to a new world's work; to cement the affections of all sections of our common country and to make their loyalty instinct with nationality—these are some of the practical activities to which the religious sentiment of the South is being more and more largely put. Dr. B. C. Mitchell in Southern Workman. The Education of a Senatorial Blackguard Discussed From the New York Sun. In the Standard of Daphne, Ala., of April 12 Senator Tillman is reported as saying in an address at Citronville : "Education does not make the Negro a better or more law-abiding citizen." Would it not be better if the Senator before deciding on the influence of education should try it—try it on himself? For it is difficult to recognize an educated man in this further utterance of the Senator's address "When Jefferson wrote that 'all men are born free and equal' he had meant to say, 'All men are born free and alive.'" If Senator Tillman had employed some graduate of Tuskegee to revise his manuscripts and proofs he might have saved some of us old Southerners the shame of seeing in the place of Calhoun—learned and exact—a Senator who cannot quote the Declaration of Independence with even approximate correctness, much less understand it. The main reason for the Declaration was that all men are not born free and equal, but that all were "created" equal, and have the right to recover the equality and liberty which their Creator intended, but of which kings had robbed their subject masses. MONCURE D. CONWAY. New York, April 24. A Just Complaint EDITOR TRIBUNE: I attended last the two evening sessions of the Musical Congress last week. I was deeply Interested and pleased by its creditable showing of talent The management successfully overcame very great difficulties, and made their part a great success. The participants observed conventionalities, and stage requirements remarkably well for so complex a company, from so many localities. The audience was orderly and appreciative on both Thursday and Friday evening, except during the rendering of the spiritual songs. These songs seemed to be understood by only a few colored people present. To every white person present, they represented the religious devotion of a dark time in Negro history, and so are a sacred heritage of the race. They show hope and heart-break and tender longings of the here and the hereafter, which kept the Negro from lapsing into a race of murderers, as the N. A. Indian race has always done, under all attempts of the white man to enslave him. They show the characteristic of the old time Negro, which made him faithful unto death to his white masters and friends, no matter how unfairly they might treat him at times. The-white people present and the cultured Negroes, saw this by reason of their greater culture, and listened, not to compliment the music, but out of respect to the song and its deep spiritual pathos. They were greatly disturbed by the uncultured guilla of many, who in their ignorance, saw only their oddities of the presentation. It seemed to me as much of a discretion, as to laugh boisterously if a loosened stone should fall loudly on the lid of a just lowered coffin of a loved one. I make no plea for continuance of such songs, any longer than congregations find them useful, but I do object to being prevented from enjoying their unique picture of by-gone days, by a senseless disorderly ridicule of ignorant listeners, a ridicule which seems to me actually profane in its nature. I hope this congress will gather these songs from year, to year and that Negro culture may rise in the masses until they can appreciate the worth of this precious heritage. Second Baptist Church. The watch word now is "On to the card rally the first Sunday in June." Every member and friend of the church are requested to be present that day. Every member who hasn't received a card is requested to get one to-morrow. The sick list is extremely large with one death, sister Cornelia Harris. Several couples were united in marriage by the pastor this week. Rev. Douglas of Pittsburgh, Pa., preached Thursday night. Pastor May began his series of sermons upon the Prodigial Son last Sunday night, the congregation was unusually large to hear the first sermon thereon and a cordial invitation is hereby given to the public to be present each Sunday night and hear these sermons through. All were well pleased with the opening sermon. The subject to-morrow night, "The Prodigial's Decision and Determination after having wandered away from Home." Rev. K. N. Countie, D. D. L. L. D. ex-identent National Baptist Convention and ex-delegate to Egypt, will preach at eleven o'clock. There will be baptizing right after the morning sermon. Mrs. Merchant, one of the National Baptist Convention's foreign missionaries spoke at the morning hour last Sunday, and was given, nearly $5.00 for the foreign fields, she will spend several days here and visit other churches Pastor May delivered the welcome address on behalf of the Baptists of the city, to the Baptist Convention which assembled at the First African Baptist Church, Wednesday night of this week. He also answered a request by preaching a sermon to the College students in the State Industrial College Chapel recently.

Union Baptist Church Dots The revival meeting of the Union Baptist Church which was conducted by Rev. Jas. Moss of Graniteville, 8 C. one was of great success. His sermons were logical and practical and preached with great power and demonstration notwithstanding the heavy rains. There was a good congregation to hear him every evening at 4 o'clock and at night. Many happy souls confessed the Lord Jesus Christ. The meeting closed on Sunday night, after baptism in the morning, at 11 a.m., the pastor preached from the subject, "Are we the children of God." The Lord's Supper was administered at 4 p.m. At 1:30 p.m., the pastor preached from the subject, "Fiery Serpents." The services were largely attended during the day. On Thursday night at 8 o'clock Mr. Joseph Slocum and o'Mrs. Maggie Gibbons were united in holy wedlock. Pastor H. L. Haywood officiating. Sunday night May 12th, the pastor will preach the 15th anniversary sermon of the Gospel Travelers. On Monday he will leave the city for one week's vacation which we hope will be happily spent.

The Baptist Ministers Union met on Monday, Dr. J. W. Carr presided. After the regular order of business was disposed of, Mrs. A. B. Merchant of Louisville, Ky, was introduced. It was not long before she had touch our hearts. She is a great missionary sent out by our Foreign Mission Board. The union donated to her $4.25. The union recommend her to all the friends of missions, Rev. R. N. Contee of Kansas, City Mo., was also introduced and while he spoke to us our heart was made to burn, while this giant though little in stature talked to us. Rev D. W. Cannon very eloquently responded, and assured the distinguished visitors that they were welcome to our city homes. Farewell to the Broom. "The problems of the housekeeper are receiving from the architects of houses something of the attention they have long claimed in vain," writes John L. Anderson in the May WOMAN'S HOME COMPANION. "The solution of the sweeping problem is a case in point. In one of the newest apartment houses there is not a broom to be found from cellar to garret, or rather from the third subcellar to the air-cleaning chamber on the roof. Every suite throughout the building is equipped with a vacuum cleaning apparatus. There is a pipe connected with the vacuum chamber in the basement in every suite, while a Sexible hose long enough to reach to the furthest corner of every room is supplied, which may be readily attached to a nozzle In this piping just as you would connect a garden hose. The vacuum is controlled by a spigot. It is only necessary to pass the nozzle of this vacuum over the carpet, rug or drapery, and every particle of dust is instantly drawn up into the hose. The dirt collected in this way passes quickly through the hose into the pipe, and thence, perhaps a matter of a dozen stories, to a chamber in the subceller, where an attendant shovels it up and carries it away. "The nozzle which picks up this dust allows no particle to escape, so that in all this sweeping there is literally no dust. Incidentally it removes more dust than the most persistent and vigorous broom. The entire operation of sweeping might be carried on with the sweeper in evening dress, so far, at least, as cleanliness is concerned. The work of hours is reduced to minutes." Hall for Rent.

N. ¥.—Preaching at the Irving Sauare, Presbyterian Church oa.the theme “The Soa of God,” the Re, Ira Wemmell Henderson, pastor took 23 his text 14 Matt. 23, “Of a truth Thou art the Son of God.” He said. . in this expression of the faith of the boatmes ia the Christ as the Son of God we have the consensus 6f a host of men and women who, for nin*teen centuries, have followed the gentle Galilean. "The, disciples pro- ciaimed their faith in’ the reality of the Sonship of Jcsus after a visible, external, objective exhibition of His power. ‘In ages fast, however, many a song-sung martyr and many an unknown saint bas held firm to the same faith, seeing only with the spir- itual eye. "And to-day every sincere follower of our Lord acknowledges, with a joy that passes all human un- derstanding, “‘ot a truth Thou art the Son of God.” From the fullness of a rich and enriching spiritual ex- perience do we, here and now, re- iterate our belief in the supreme di- yine Sonship of our Savior and our Lord. Jesus of Nazareth—the place fram which tiothing good was held to come —the Messiah of the chosen people of God, proclaimed by angels, adored by the wisdom of the East; youthful confounder of priests and prelates. He. it 1s of whom the apostle writes. Jesus—the man of parables and of miracles; Jesus, the expounder of those wonderfully well-put doctrines contained in the Sermon on the Mount; Jesus the Christ, the King of Israel, the Savior of the World. He js the divine human of whom the disciples said: “Of a truth Thou art the Son of God,” + Let us look for a moment into the claims of this Man, this despised Naz- arene, this carpenter's son, to the title and to the office of the Son of God. “Has He any claim that we are bound to respect? Is there any, rea- son why we are called unon to Serve Him, shall we belleve upon Him, or shall we reject Him. What, in ‘the Jast analysis, fs the pfoof that fs final that Jesus is divine. .__If you will glance through those pages of the Old Testament which give the history of the life and of the hopes of the anclent Jewish people, you will find that, ruaning through them all, the coming of a Messiah— that is to sey, a Savior—is prophes- Jed. _ To Ilis people God has promised a King who skall give to’ them eter- mal power and an endless peace. Step by step, incident by incident, Is unfolded in the old prophetic books the coming of a Christ. , Thus we seg that the Man who is tg be the Son of God, the Messiah of the Jews, the King of Israel must be a man who measures to the standards of the God-givea prophecies of the centuries. So much for the historic demands upon the claims of the Messiah. No Jess imperative, however, is the need that the Man who is to be the Son ef God and the Savior of the race shall be such a revelation of God as our bearts demand, You and I can- not trust ia the Son of God save as He meets the requirements of our Feasoaing faculties and highest sense. ‘The Christ must not only be a God- declared Messiah, but also a self- proven {nearnation of Almighty "God. He must not only bear diyine letters of recommendation to us, but also convinces, us by a living divinity that He is what He claims to be. And above all the truths of His messages must be proven practical forces in our own lives ere we can believe. Jesus Is the Son of God, the Savior of the world, the Messiah of the Jews, the King of Israel. As we have Seen the man who is these must measure true to the standards of the God-given prophecies of the centur- Jes. Jesus so measures. Throughout the whole of the New Testament the Fevelation of Christ as the fulfillment of propitecy Is set forth. He is the Messiah. He fs the King whom God has promised to His people Israel. He is the Son of David for whom the holy men of many generations yearned. Christ satisfies all the de- mands of the Old Testament pro- phetic writers. From that stand- point He fs the Son of God and Sav- jor. But whether or no there had been given prophecies aforetime, there are grander and more glorious reasons for faith in Christ’ as the Son of Gods Christ is such a revelation of God as our hearts demand. For as We read the story of His life we see manifold instances of His divine power, purity and perfectness. Time and again we see His godhood and divinity in His workings and His words. He isthe fullness of grace and truth. Yes, my friends, in His miracles and His messages, in His acts of love 2nd His conscience-touch- dng truths, this man of sorrows and . of griefs reveals His Sonship divine. " The power of God shows through His physical miracles, the love of the Father shines through the spiritual transformations that He wrought. From what other lips do we hear such deep, such soul-satistying prom- ses and commands. Nowhere in the ‘history of all the world has othere been another such a man. Mohamet, Confucius, Buddha—the ethical and philosophical teachers of all peoples BSesoPares SORCR ars GF a peoples Heaven as love, peace, joy, purity at lite, the Savior went about loving men, Seeking’ and pursuing -peace, bringiag joy Ymto saddened souls, leading hardened hearts into purity of life, Eelieving that the cultiva- tion of godliness ts the business of mankind Jesus was holy, uprisht, godly Himself. And it is because He not only preached truth unto life eternal but lived also the life that shall gain and keep the crown of rejoicing that we hail Him Lord. History makes Jesus the Son of God. His clear-cut. reasonable rev- clation 6f the character of God by words so declares Him; His consist ent practical revelation of divinity {1 His daily life marks Him as God's ‘Son. And yet it Is not until we have taken His tréth into our hearts, and proven the richness and practieabil- ity of Hisctheories in our own lives that we can yield to Him the adora- tion that is due Mm. The applica- tion “by a normal man to bis own life tn true fashion of the truths of Jesus Christ will prove them to be mighty unto uplittment and enlisht- enment and practical principles that shall make for good when practically used In Ife. The truth of Christ will be found so full of divine inspiration and revelation, and the Ife of the man who revealed {t will then be found to be so godly that the human ‘heart will hall the great revealer Son ‘of God, Jesus Christ cannot be un- ‘derstood save by those who have en- ‘tered into that manner of spiritual life that shall open their eyes unto the divine wonders of His life. No man can enter into the fatlaess of the truths revealed in the messaces of the Master save as he stands ready to be born again and move ahead In ‘the spiritual life. The diselples did ‘not glory in the divine Sonship of Jesus until they had had ‘their eyes opened in part to the spiritual mys- terles which underlay the objective miracles that Jesus wrought. We know how slow they were to see the depth and the application of His principles as He preached to them the trutk, And yet with them as with iis the secret of thelr faith in the Master lay in the fact that there was no discord between the truth that He preached and the life that He lived, They waited the long-prom- ised Messiah from God who should deliver Israel; they gave Jesus. a hearing as a self-styled and heavén- proclaimed Christ; they heard the music of heavenly truth in all He said, and above all they marked the fact'that He not only talked divinely well, but lived even as God would live. And so they followed Him. But they were not able to have con- fidence in Him that should enable them to bear witness of His divine power until they had tried for them- selves thapsort of life He ltved and applied for themselves to their own lives the eternal principles that He propoundes aud found them practi- cal. ‘Men say to me, “I do not pelieve Jesus was the Son of God,” ““I can- not accept Him as the incarnation of the Father.” And my first question iz whether or no they are fully com- |petent to. judge. Are ther in posses- sion of such spiritual experience as will enable them to pass good judg- ment upon the case in hand? Many man who has no experience In the Christ life will without a lush re- ject all the truths so dear to Chris- tian heaits. If I as a minister pre- sumed to pass expert judgment upon jastronomical truth, “having never even seen or marked the coursings of the stars or ‘ained experimental knowledge of the wonders of thé heaven abore us, You would hoot me from this church. Yet many a man with no Christian experience at all will pass final and irrevocable Judg- ment upon Jesus Christ without so |much as a shred of personal testt- ‘mony that could be worthy of notice. Jesus is the Son of God. And the only way you can come to know that is through the spiritual, personal ex- perience. of the fact. ‘Jesus is the Savior of our Souls from sin and ‘the oniy means to a convincing knowl- cdge of this truth is through the en- trance of the saving truth of Jesus Christ into your life Jesus revealing the truth, you testing, trying, proving its reliability and reasonableness 12 your own personal life. : What is Worth Coveting. It requires 2 well kept life to do the will of God, and even a better kept life to will’ to do His will. To be willing is a rarer grace than to be doing the will of God. For he who is willing may sometimes have noth- ing to do, and must only be willing to walt; and it is easier far to be do- ing God’s will than to be willing to have nothing to do—it is easier far to be working for Christ than it is to be willlng to cease. No, there is nothing rarer in the world to-day than the truly willing soul, and there is nothing more worth coveting than the will to will God's will." There is no grander possession for any Chris- tian life than the transparently -sim- ple mechanism of a sincerely obeying heart.—Professor Drummond. True Prayer is a Great Achievement. Believe me, to pray with all your heart and strength, with the, reason and the will, to belleve vividly that God will listen to your voice through Christ and verily do the thing He pleaseth thereusion—that Is the last, the greatest achievement of the Christian’s warfare on earth. ‘Teach us to pray, O Lord!—Samuel Taylor Coleridge. ‘ Character Alone Endures.

An Experiment in the Penitentiary of New Mexico. Floriculture as a means of refining the nature of the hardened criminal is the remarkable experiment that ‘is Veing carried on ‘at the Territorial penitentiary of New Mexico in Santa Fe, In a well equipped, thoroughly modern conservatory, which has been eonstructed in the prison, some of the most despefate criminals in | America «are for a profusion of flow- /ers of many kinds. General interest is taken In the conservatory among ike 260 convicts in the penitentiary, and it s no uncommen thing, says the Santa Fe correspondent of the Los Angeles Times, to see a “lifer” caring for a lily or a rose. Since the*convicts in the New Mex- ico penitentiary took up this new work the morale of the institution has greatly improved. There is hard- ly a convict In tie institution who does not welcome a chance to work among the flowers, Bouquets are clipped and taken to lonely cells and dried flowers are carefully pressed between the leaves of books from the penitentiary Mbrary. Superintendent H. 0, Bursum has been quick to recognize the good that the conservatory is doing, and every convict who desires to work among the flowers has opportunity to while away time in the greenhouse. Assistant Superintendent Garrett is enthusiastic on the-subject of flori- culture tn penal institutions. There are few natures, no matter how bad they may appear to the | world in general, that do not respond to the refining induence of flowers,” said this official recently. “An hour /in the greenhouse beats any number ‘of hours in solitary confinement when ‘it comes to making a convict tract- ‘able, He forgets for a moment that ‘he is in prison. He fusses around ‘among the flowers and his brain is soothed by the sound of the foun- ‘tain. ‘Time files rdpidly instead of ‘dragging, and the poor chap actually ‘enjoys life. He takes the remem- ‘brance of all this to his cell with him ‘perhaps in the form of a bouquet. He sings or whistles cheerlly and his ood spirits prove Infectious. Thus, ‘unconsciously, he assists in ratsing the general morale of the prison. “IC convicts were given more such work to do in their Idle hours—more gardenipe and raising flowers instead of moodily pacing the prison yard in quest of exercise, ar being kept peg- ging at contract labor all day, there would be fewer tragedies In peniten- tlaries—tewer attempts to break out and fewer officials sacrificed in doing thelr duty. Anything that cani take a conviet’s mind off himself is a great advance in prison methods. Our little greenhouse hgs done more good than all the dark cells and other means of ‘punishment ever devised.” Rapid Transit Car Cleaning. “How long does it take to clean the windows of one of our cars?” said a railroad man at the Reading Terminal. “Well, just as long as it tekes one man to clean one of the windows. That’ is not very long. is il? ‘The fact is, the pressure on the rolling stock of all railrgads {s so great now that when a train comes in cnough men ‘are put to work cleaning §t to enable it to take its place, in an outgoing train in a few minutes, As you can see for your- self, there is a man on the ladder of every window of this car—and every ian ts working as rapidly as he can to clean his perticular window. When he’s done they are all done and, the windows are cleaned. The same crew then tackles another car, going over it in the same way. A few minntes.does the job."—Phila- delphia Record.

At a loss for a reply, the teacher sough- to escape the dlt- ficulty by leaving the question to the class. “Can any of you tell us why the angels used a ladder?” she asked.

Depart- ment of Agriculture, reports*that in the year 1904 Indiana had surtaced 20,582 miles with gravel and 5295 jmailes with stone, making 23,877 miles out of a total of 68,306 miles of roads in that State. That fs, thir- tyfive per cent.of the roads has beon improved. | ‘The report states*that for each square mile of territoryJIndiana has | 1-9 mile of public road, which’equals a milé of such road for each thirty- ‘six inhabitants, and a mile of {a- proved road for every 105 of fts pop ulation. In other words,-for each of | its people the State has 8.8 rods of public road, and 3.05 rods of im- proved roads per capita of its popu- lation. | A road tax of not to exeded thirty cents on each $100 worth of taxable i property outside of incorporated cit- .fes and towns Is always levied an- ,nually by the township trustee of each township. An additional tax of ten cents on the $100 valuation may be levied for the construction and re- pair of bridges, culverts and other ' road purposes, if agreed to by the ‘hoard of county commissioners. This , tax may be worked out at the rate of | $1.25 per day (changed to $1.50 per | day in 1905) or $2.50 rer day for double team without driver. | Every able-bodied male person. | over twenty-one and under fifty years of age, residing in a road district of a township, {s required to perform not léss than two or more. than four | days’ labor of the public roads each | year, or to furnish & substitute; or in | feu ‘of this labor he may pay to the road overseer $1.50 for each day he is assessed. | ‘Bonds may be fssued by the boards of commissioners of any“county for _graveling and macadamizing ox, oth- erwise improving roads. The Yimit of indebtedness for this purpose at any. one-time is Gxed by law at four ‘ per cent. of the total assezsed valua- , tion of the property of the township, ‘or townships, in which the roads are located. The law provides two meth- ‘ ods of paying the principal and inter ‘est on these bonds. The first is by | assessment against property accord _ing to benefits received. The second is by a special tax levied against the property. in the township,-or town- “ships, including cities and towns of not to exceed 30,000 inhabitants. - fA tax of not to exceed ten cents ‘upon each $100 af tasable property \ for every ten miles of,eravel or stone !rozd may be assessed by the county “auditor upon all the taxable property _of the county for the repair of the samie. . { The amount derived from the prop- ierty tax In the various counties and j townships and expended in cash or ilJabor on roads was $2,695,970.30 in | 1904; the estimated cash value of the ‘labor tax was $895,458.23, and the amount expended from bond issues during the same year amounted to $1,207,768.95, making a total ex- (penditure of $1,299,197.50. It will | be seen from the figures that the cash | value of the labor tax in each county ‘is the product obtained by multiply- ing the number of men drafted sfor road service by the number of days _Feqtired of cach per anntim, and ‘this product by $1.25, the amount ' per day required by law in Hew of 1a- bor. It will be interesting to note | that during the past ten years $11,- | 068,908.58 has been expended on the ' public roads of Indiana from bond fs- ‘sues alone. By comparing tho total expenditure for the year 1904 with " the total mileage of public roads and | with the population of the State, it is ,found that the funds collected and j expensed for road purposes, includ- ing the estimated cash value of the ‘labor tax, amounted to $62.94 per i rile of public road, or $1.70 per in+ ‘ habitant.—Good Roads Magazine.

During the year just ended we used the enormous amount of 6,509,000,- 000 pounds of sugar, worth '$200,- 900,000, If each citizen got his fair share, Syring the twelve months he consimed séventy-six pounds. Of this sugar only one-fifth was pro- duced in the United States; one-fifth came from the island possessions, and three-fifths was imported from for- eign countries, Of the American pro- duced sugar, a little over half was from the sugar beet, the remainder from cane. This fs the first time the beet sugar has exceeded in quantity that manufactured from sugar cane. During the last ten years the increase in the consumption of sugar has been three times as great as the Increased domestic production. Country Doctors Dying Out.

The Jamestown Ter- Centennial Exposition, the newest world’s fair, will be “a military, na; yal, marine’and historic exhibition,” according to the official, statements. History will be given {ts due at the Exposition as well as the arts of peace, but the distinctive feature will ‘be the sight of Hampton Roads—al- ready a famous naval arena—alive with the fighting craft of many na- tions, the shores glittering with sol- diers'in friendly rendezvous. ‘The remarkable naval display Is made possible by’ the fact that the Jamestown Exposition 13 the first great American fair held on a deep- water harbor. Practically all the elv- Ilifed dations have accepted the Pres- ident's invitation to send sections of their navies. As the summer ad- vantes the varying types of fizhting craft, from saucy torpedo boats to the largest war vessel afloat, will pass through the harbor in endiess proces- sion. The United States Government will have an extensive display, show- ing the evolution of guns and fighting ships from the early days of the Na- tion to the present. There will also be a large encampment of militia, regular army and foreign troops. There are twenty-five battleships and cruisers in the line headed bx the Connecticut just off the Government pier at Fortress Monroe, which trails away up the broad channel leading to Norfolk. ‘The vessels are anchored several thousand yards off the Expo- sition shore, and, arranged In a huge semicircle, are visible from every part of the grounds. Every type of fighting craft in the “American navy is represented in the present rendezvous. The battleships range from the 16,000 ton Connecti. cut and Louisiana down to the all but abandoned Texas, the oldest Ameri- can battleship and sister of the Maine, which was wrecked In Havana harbor. The Texas was built at the Norfolk navy yard madly years ago, and, being a local product, is to remain at the Exposition as a permanent feature of the naval exhibit. With her sight guns and paltry 6316 tons of weight the Texas, when ranged alongside tho mammoth Conneetfeut, which mounts twenty-four guns and displates -19,- 000 tons of water, offera a striking example of the progress of the Ameri- can navy dince thedays of 1886, when the Teras and the first Maine were authorized by Congress. ‘The Brooklyn, bearing on her after turret the memorial plate simply and eloquently inscribed “July 3, 1898.” will also remain a permanent naval exhibit during the seven months of the fife of the Exposition. ‘The cruisers of the fleet are all modern craft, though the variance in size between’ the largest and the smallest {s as great as that which marks the heavier vessels of the bat- tle class. The armored cruisers Tennessee and Washington, each of 14,500 tons and mounting twenty guns apiece, are the heaviest of the cruisers. The smallest cruisers are the Denver and the Cleveland—3100 tons each—the third class of the protected vessels of the navy. In the crulser class the most Interesting vessel {s perhaps the Brooklyn, the flagship of Rear-Ad-_ miral Schtey In the battle with Cer- vera’s squadron off Santiago, Cuba, ‘The fieet has been arranged so as to give the visitors to the Exposition the best possible opportunity for viewing the fighting strength of the American navy. The glistening white hulls, spotless in their new coats of paint, and the buff superstructures of the two and three piped line-of-battle | abips and armored and protected cruisers, form a marino panorama as. viewed from the water front esplan- ade of the Exposition “grounds such as has seldotn, if ever, before been | presented to the American public. | .

The Austrian ships Will consist of the armored cruiser Sankt Georg and the protected crufser Aspern, under the command of a Commodore, who will be promoted to be a Rear-Ad- miral. “The Brazilian fleet, under a Rear- Admiral, consists of’ the battleship Riachuelo, the cruiser Barroso and the gun vessel Tamoyo.’ The Brazil- jan fleet will be the oniy forelgn one containing a battleship. ‘The Argentine Republic will send the training ship Presidente Sarmien- to under the command of a comman- ler. ‘The Japanese fleet, in command of a Vice-Admiral, will consist of the ar- ‘mored crutser Trukuba and the pro- tected crulser Chitoso. It is noticeable that while Japan sends some of her finest warships to represent her navy, and-one of her foremost generals, the Russian Gov- ernment will not be represented by a single ship, nor is {t known that any officer of her army will come here. The other forelgn countries to be represented will be France, Italy, Chile and Portugal. Italy will send two vessels in com- mand of a captain, the armored cruts- ez Varese and the protected erutser Etruria. Chile will send the protect- ed crulser Ministro Zentene under the command of a captain, while Portu- gal will send a ‘protected crutser, probably the Don Carlos. Spain has not signified her intentions of send- ing any war vessels. ‘The entertainment committee ot the’fleet is now arranging a water carnival. Each vessel of the great fleet has been asked to provide a float for the occasion. The pageant ‘will be on Some evening yet to be de- termined. Severgl ships have al- ready decided on the floats they will send. Three will send three of thelr cutters to representthe three old-time craft which brought the PligMms to Jamestown. : Another float will represent -the Great Harry, a renowned ship of war of that period, and on the request of the Admiral the Navy Department is now searching the archives to know Just what the vessel was like. “Then there will be pirate ships, gondolas, a float showing Neptune and his tri- dent and much else besides. During the carnival the ships will be illum- inated, and there will bo a hundred- searchiights playing over the brilliant scene. Aside from such diversions the strong armada will have Ittle to do, in tho waiting days. The ships long ago completed their toilets and ara so spie and span they hurt the eye.
