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. Attempted to Lost Train But Were Frightened Off. Five masked men at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning held up the North Coast Limited on the Northern Pacific at Welsh Spur, 15 miles east of Butte, Mont. 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.

One Hundred and Sixty Pages. Every farmer wants to know to a cent the value of what he buys and sells, and should not leave this to be figured by the party with whom he is dealing.

Time is worth much, but accuracy is still more important. Many books have been prepared to make the task of calculating easy, its results sure, but never one fitted to all men, in all kinds of business, at all times, so completely as "ROPP'S NEW COMMERCIAL CALCULATOR." This reliable assistant to the farmer and others has been in the market for many years, and nearly a million and a half copies have been sold. The last edition (160 pages) is from beginning to end filled with tables, short cuts, and up-to-date methods of calculating, making it the most complete, useful and comprehensive work of the kind ever published. It will make every one independent, sure, and self-reliant in all practical calculations connected with farming and other lines of business. It will prevent mistakes, relieve the mind, save time, labor and loss. It is a pocket edition with pocket for papers and a loose silicate slate from which lead pencil marks are easily erased, and is an invaluable assistant for every farmer or business man. . The Farm Loss of Ammonia. Ashes and hen manure if mixed together before being applied to the soil result in a loss of ammonia from the droppings that greatly lessen their value. Use the ashes after the manure has been mixed with the soil; the ammonia will be absorbed by it and remain in the soil for the use of the crop. Wood ashes make a valuable application for any soil deficient in potash and hasten the decomposition of coarse manures.—The Epitomist. Á New Alfalfa. It is reported that Professor Hansen, of the South Dakota station, during his summer's tour in Russia, in search of hardy fruit and other plants that may be adapted to our Northwest, found a hardy type of alfalfa, which he, is reported to believe is very promising for this region. Of course, it will take him some time to demonstrate whether his belief is well founded or not. In the meantime the people must possess themselves in patience and in the assurance that Professor Hansen will work out the problem as quickly and faithfully as any man can. Breeding Heifers Too Young. An eminent Jersey breeder says that one mistake many farmers make is in breeding Jersey helfers too young. A better way is to let them get their growth, at least three years. Keep them in a separate lot if necessary after they are eighteen months old. If permitted to bring calves before they have their growth they make small cows and yield less milk. The calves also are smaller as a rule. It is not always best to be in too big a hurry to get ahead in the world. A space of six or nine months is not so long to wait, and it is infinitely better for the cow. It may be said, however, that even great minds differ on this point. Curing 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 skin, and lay the two powdered sides together, leaving the wool outside. Then 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 down and open and scrape the flesh side with a blunt knife until it is clean and supply. This completes the process, and makes an excellent 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 running water, and let get partly dry, then rubbed together until it is soft and dry.—The Commander. The Hardy Galloway. A breed quite popular in the older part of the country is the Galloway. Its long, thick, curly hair affords unusual protection against the weather conditions, and also adds to the value of the hide. Galloway rugs, robes and overcats resemble those of the buffalo and sell at high prices. The breed does not rank high as a milk producer, being distinctively 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 English market and the cattle are good and uniform feeders. Some American stockman have claimed, however, that the Galloways gain less for the amount of feed than some other breeds, and of late years their attention has been given to selection with a view to securing a wider backed, blockier type, which should fatten more easily without loss of hardiness and ability to resist cold, so characteristic of the breed.—American Cultivator. Teeth of Horses. In a discussion on this subject a horseman of much experience says: Decaying teeth are not uncommon in horses. This condition is usually indicated by a fetid discharge from the nostril or a fetid breath. In some cases difficulty is experienced in locating the diseased tooth, but when the disease has advanced to that stage in which it can be located, it must be extracted. Wolf teeth (those small, supernumerary teeth, which appear in front of the first molars in the upper rows) are generally supposed to have an injurious effect upon the eyes. This is a mistaken idea. They seldom do harm unless they are white and in such a position that they interfere with mastication; but being supernumerary and having no function they should be extracted. They somewhat common habit of knocking the crowns off should not be followed. They should be dawn 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 job does more harm than good. Farm Cheese Making. The Department of Agriculture gives the following plain directions 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 commenced to sour. Heat to about eighty-six degrees, ad commercial ren- net at the rate of three ounces to eighty-five cubic centimeters to 1000 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 finger; heat slowly to about 100 degrees, stirring almost constantly in the meantime and allow to stand at 100 degrees until the curd becomes very firm. 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 fifteen or twenty minutes, allowing to cool slowly. Salt at the rate of two and one-half pounds salt to 1000 pounds of milk, put in a mold, square or round, as desired, and apply considerable pressure. The amount of pressure required is rather indefinite, but should not be less than 100 pounds to each cheese. The utensils required are a thermometer, tin vessel for heating and a measure for measuring the rennet extract. These can be purchased from any supply house. After cheese comes out of the press it should be cured in a cool place in the usual way many times described. Begin Anew. Begin with the cows. Get better ones. It is going to 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 may 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 is 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 thins. 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 calf somewhere among the neighbors. I have known cases where it was possible to trade a good scrub calf for a fullblood 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 matter of only a few dollars to buy one, if it cannot be had by trading. That is a good start. Then graft the new stock on the old and ree how marvelous will be the result in a few years. It almost always turns out that when a man has been to the trouble of getting this start, he will have so much ambition to make a success of it that he will take the best care he can of the new calf or the cows he has bought. That means that a 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 believe that word would be care. Everything depends on 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 man who is not willing to bestow care on his stock need not look for any great degree of success. He will not have it, if 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 depends on the food the cows eat. 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 newly hatched chicks do not need anything to eat until forty-eight hours old. Rapid churning will not get as much butter out of cream as slow churning will. It is 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. It is safe to grease the head of every chicken even if the mother and chicks are free from lice. That is a good way to keep them so. The main difference between timothy 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 is beginning to bloom. After the beginning of the flowering period, the hay rapidly deteriorates in nutritive value. For some reason ducks are not very popular as a fowl to raise, although they are free from disease, are easily bred and easily raised, if they receive good attention. Of course even timothy should be housed or stacked in a bright condition if it is to be marketed, but rain and sunburn do not damage it nearly so seriously as they do clover. Do not pick out for, a breeder a lazy, sleepy looking sow that keeps fat easily, but select a hustler with a strong constitution and, good-grazing qualities and that is on time, at every meal.

Frenchman Says Observation From the Decks of Ships Has Created an Illusion. M. Bertin, a Frenchman, has been making new observations of the size of ocean billows. He says they are greatly over-estimated when the term "mountainous" is applied to them. The longest waves he measured were 2,590 feet from crest to crest, he says, and their average duration was 23 seconds. They were not very high, only about 50 feet or one-fifth of their span. Indeed, he is of opinion that the greatest height ever reached by waves in open water is fifty feet, and he accounts for higher estimates by saying that they have heretofore been observed for the most part from the decks of ships, and the perspective effect resulting from looking up along the slopes has misled the eye and judgment. 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 blown still higher. Very few waves 2,500 feet long and 50 feet high are ever encountered, he adds. In average bad weather the waves run from 160 to 320 feet from crest to crest and their height seldom exceeds 33 feet. Their duration is not over 6 to 8 seconds. Hammer Oldest Implement: The hammer, besides being a tool of universal use, is probably the oldest representative of a mechanic's tool kit. The hammer was originally a stone fastened to a handle with thongs, and, it was as useful as a weapon as a tool. Hammers are represented on the monuments of Egypt twenty centuries before our era. They greatly resemble the hammer now in use, save that there were no claws on the back for the extraction of nails. Claw hammers were invented some time during the Middle Ages. Illuminated manuscripts of the eleventh century represent carpenters with claw hammers. Hammers are of all sizes, from the dalty instruments used by the jeweller, which weigh less than half an ounce, to the gigantic fifty ton hammer 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.

"Embroidering underwear to save money is a delusion," said the girl who knew as she noticed an eager crowd of women hanging over a counter in a store where there was an array of stamped corret covers, nightgowns, etc., all ready for working. "I was invigiled into that sort of thing last summer, and between a corset cover and a lingerie hat I nearly had nervous prostration. I didn't finish them until the frost came, and they nearly finished me." —New York Press. Women Work Too Much. One reason why the average woman wears out and grows old and plain is that, through a mistaken idea of duty, she lays out for herself at the beginning of married life a scheme of duty of which every hour is filled with work, says 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 full of loving admiration? Constant association with others of her own age, with her children and their friends, and an occasional period of recreation is what the average woman requires to make her attractive.—Indianapolis News. Fashionable Color Fight On. "Women with a wealth of fair hair and blue eyes have found that green, as a color, not only brings out the azure of the orbs, but also suits their hair," said a dark-haired girl, "and a fight with fashion between two colors 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 the 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 weather and then the green and the brown will disappear."—New York Press. The Helpless Poor. The helplessness of some women of the 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 liver and bacon and beefsteak, 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 experiences that would have been amusing if they had not so grim a significance. "I was called one day," he said, "to see a 'ck baby, and found the mother feeding it with little pieces of corned beef. 'My good woman,' I said, 'you must not feed the baby with that sort of stuff.' 'Well, sir,' s.l.e. replied, 'what am I to feed him with? He doesn't like pork!'" There is a point on the coast of France where not only the men, but the women und donkeys, too, wear trousers. At Ile de, Re the peasant women work in the salt and oyster beds, catch shrimps and take their turn in the fields. They don't draggle around in petticoats, however, but wear baggy knee breeches, loose waists and light colored sunbonnets. The sabots of the winter have been put aside and the feet are left bare, although the legs of old stockings are often drawn up as far as the knee as a protection from the heat and insects. It is, indeed, a country of trousers. Nor does it stop with humanity, for many of the donkeys as well wear long striped red and white or blue and white coverings on their legs, which look very much like the remnants of Uncle Sam's wardrobe. These are put on the stubborn little animals to keep off the flies and mosquitoes, so that they will be less liable to kick.—New York Sun. Expressionless Faces in Fashion. Every age has its own type of ace; the character of the age determines it. Old pictures help us to see this, in spite of the failure of portraiture truly to give expression, and it is observable even when looking over the pages of old numbers of Punch. The Early Victorian face was quite unlike the Georgian, and that again is as different as possible from the Elizabethan type. Curious indeed it is that this age of progress and feminine intelligence should produce faces that are expressionless. But it is generally agreed that present day circumstances and way of living are producing a calm, not to say stoniness, which is becoming general. There is more than one reason to account for this. To begin with, it is the creed of the up-to-date woman never to give herself away. To accomplish this effectually she neyer allows her features to betray any emotion whatever. Inwardly she may be full of fury, racked with jealousy, or bored to dissolution; but throughout these varied feelings she preserves the same impassive look, and shows not a smiling face; but one that is quite-destitute of any expression, says Woman's Life. Nor must anything appear to surprise or annoy the modern woman. 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. The "enfant terrible" makes agonizing remarks, a rival gives some cruel stab; all is met with the same absolute immobility of countenance. Such stoic self-command in its way is admirable, but it is certainly dull. · The Land of Old Age. For several months past Harper's Bazar has been publishing a unique series of papers in which a writer who signs herself simply "An Elderly Woman" has been revealing many secrets of an old woman's heart. In the last Bazar she says, among other things: "Each generation permits a different type of young girl, but the older woman must not change, her outline is fitted and immovable. She must be like Eleanor's grandmother, "always there"—waiting with a smiling face through the long, quiet, empty hours, for her grandchildren to come home. I do not think I am exaggerating when I say that there is no class of society so bound down by convention, and for no good reason, as are the oldest of all. A young and pretty woman must, of course, walk carefully along life's paths; she must take care to avoid even the appearance of evil. As she grows older a suitable amount of convention in the mother of a family is a wholesome balance. But when a woman grows old, when she has climbed the ladder of years beyond the point where scandal could touch her, one would think that she might lay aside minor conventions of life, that at last she might do what she pleased, only limited by her own failing strength. There are so few things, after all, left for us to do, so 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." NEWEST FASHIONS Any number of the new tailor suits show the long tunic effect. A great many of the short-sleeved coats have the cutaway fronts. The "Salome" and "Belle of Mayfair" hats are two new shapes. A silk lining is necessary with all volles, whether cotton, wool or silk. Never were the French piques and French percales as beautiful as they, are this year. The pompon of ostrich is placed so as to conceal where the long plume of the same color is caught to the hat. Stripes are very much the vogue whether the material is expensive or not, and whether it is for wear indoors or out. Chantilly lace is very much in favor again for the handsome lace coats which are going to be worn by both young and old. The large daisies are among the flowers which are in greatest demand of the best milliners. The larger the better, say the leaders. Many of the early season's handsome cloth wraps are being copied in pongee for wear later, the white with rich trimmings of lace being very handsome. the mushroom shapes call especially for a loosely arranged head of hair, not droppy or frizzly, but an arrangement that has the appearance of a wealth of thick locks. The Scotch plaid gown which London is wearing are promised a considerable vogue on this side this season for country wear, though we do not hear much about them yet. There are some costumes that demand a simple hat, but it is apparent that simplicity of lines in the suit sometimes adds to the value of the picturesqueness of the hat, especially if it is a black one with a colored costume. Student of Woman Nature. A certain photographer never says, to a lady customer, "Now, look pleasant, madam, if you please." He knows a formula infinitely better than that. In the most natural manner in the world he remarks, "It is unnecessary to ask madam to look pleasant; she could not look otherwise." Then elick goes the camera and the result is never in doubt—Chicago Journal. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO. 116 W. St. Julian Street. Bell 'Phone 8171. SUBSCRIPTION RATES.

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.

"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.

Ira Wemmell Henderson, pastor too; as his text 14 Matt. 33. "Of a man Thou art the Son of God." He said. In this expression of the faith of the bontemin in the Christ as the Son of God we have the consensus of a host of men and women who, for nineteen centuries, have followed the gentle Galilean. The disciples proclaimed their faith in the reality of the Sonship of Jesus after a visible, external, objective exhibition of His power. In ages past, however, many a song-sung martyr and many an unknown saint has held firm to the same faith, seeing only with the spiritual eye. And to-day every sincere follower, our Lord acknowledges, joy that passes all human understanding, "of a truth that art the Son of God." From the Thought of a rich and enriching spiritual perience do we, here and now, reiterate our belief in the supreme divine Sonship of our Savior and our Lord. Jesus of Nazareth—the place from which nothing 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 is 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 is 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 Nazareth, the carpenter's son, the God, and to the face of the Son of God. Has He any claim that we are bound to respect? Is there any reason why we are called upon to serve Him, shall we believe upon Him, or shall we reject Him. What, in the last analysis, is the proof that is 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 ancient Jewish people, you will find that, running through them all, the coming of a Messiah—that is to say, a Savior—is prophesied. To His iii people God has promised a King who shall give to them eternal power and an endless peace. Step by step, incident by incident, is unfolded in the old prophetic books the coming of a Christ; that is what the Man who is to 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-given prophecies of the centuries. So much for the historic demands upon the claims of the Messiah. No less imperative, however, is the need that the Man who is to be the Son of God and the Savior of the race shall be such a revelation of God as our hearts demand. You and I cannot trust in the Son of God save as He meets the requirements of our reasoning faculties and highest sense. The Christ must not only be a God-declared Messiah, but also a self-proven incarnation of Almighty God. He must not only bear divine letters of recommendation to us, but also convince 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 centuries. Jesus so measures. Throughout the whole of the New Testament the revelation of Christ as the fulfillment of prophecy is set forth. He is the Messiah. He is the King whom God has promised to His people Israel. He is the Son of David for whom the holy man of many generations yearned. Christ satisfies all the demands of the Old Testament prophecies. From that standpoint He is the Son of God and Savior. But whether or not he has been given prophecies aforetime, there are graver and more glorious reasons for faith in Christ as the Son of God. 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 is 'the fullness of grace and truth. Yes, my friends, in His miracles and His messages, in His acts of love and His conscience-touching 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. he wrought. he wrought. he wrought. such deep such soul-satisfying promises and commands. Nowhere in history of all the world has there been another such a man. Mohamet, Confucius, Buddha—the ethical and philosophical teachers of all peoples and of every age—are incomparable with that personal, sanctifying Savior of the Christian soul, whose name is Light and Love. But Jesus not only meets demands as a revelator, He is also assured of our confidence through the fact that His words and His life are in harmony. Jesus not only revealed by word the sort of God for whom inwardly we yearn, but He also exemplified in Life his the fulness of truth which He preached. Telling of the fate of the world, the nature of God He was lovely. Preaching the essential spiritual nature of the Father He was Himself spiritually controlled. Telling men that the truth of God and Jehovah Himself were to be spiritually apprehended and discerned Jesus walked and talked with God. Preaching the Kingdom of Heaven as love, peace, joy, purity of life, the Savior went about loving men, seeking and pursuing peace, bringing joy into saddened souls, leading hardened hearts into purity of life. Believing that the cultivation of godliness is the business of mankind Jesus was holy, upright, 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 revelation of the character of God by words so declares Him; His consistent practical revelation of divinity in His daily life marks Him as God's Son. And yet it is not until we have taken His truth into our hearts, and proven the richness and practicability of His Theories in our own lives that we can yield to Him the adoration that is due Him. The application by a normal man to his own life in true fashion of the truths of Jesus Christ will prove them to be mighty unto upliftment and enlightenment and practical principles that shall make for good when practically used in life. The truth of Christ will be found so full of divine inspiration and revelation, and the will of the man who revealed it will then be found to be so good that the human heart will save the great revealer Son of Jesus Christ cannot be understood save by those who have entered into that manner of spiritual life that shall open their eyes unto the divine wonders of His Life. No man can enter into the fullness of the truth revealed in the messages of the Master save as he stands ready to be born again and move ahead in the spiritual Life. The disciples did not glory in the divine Sonship of Jesus until they had had their eyes opened in part to the spiritual mysteries 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 truth. And yet with them as with us the secret of their 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-promised Messiah from God who should deliver Israel; they gave Jesus a hearing as a self-styled and heaven-proclaimed Christ; they heard the music of heavenly truth in all He said, and above all they manified the fact that He not only tailed divinely well, but lived God would. As they followed Him. But they were not able to have confidence in Him that should enable them to bear witness of His divine power until they had tried for themselves the sort of life He lived and applied for themselves to their own lives the eternal principles that He propounded and found them practical. Men say to me, "I do not believe Jesus was the Son of God," "I cannot accept Him as the incarnation of the Father." And my first question is whether or no they are fully competent to judge. Are they in possession of such spiritual experience as will enable them to pass good judgment upon the case in hand? Many a man who has no experience in the Christ life will without fault brush all the truth to bear to Christian heart. If I as a minister preach to pass expert judgment upon astronomical truth, having never even seen or marked the coursings of the stars or gained experimental knowledge of the wonders of the heaven above us, you would hoot me from this church. Yet many a man with no Christian experience at all will pass final and irrevocable judgment upon Jesus Christ without so much as a shred of personal testimony 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 experience of the fact. Jesus is the Savior of our souls from sin and the only means to a convincing knowledge of this truth is through the entrance of the saving truth of Jesus Christ into your life. Jesus revealing the truth, you testing, trying, proving its reliability and reasonableness in your own personal life. What is Worth Coyeting. It requires a 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 nothing to do, and must only be willing to wait; and it is easier far to be doing 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 willing 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 Christian life than the transparently simple 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 believe vividly that God will listen to your voice through Christ and verily do the thing He pleashest thereupon—that is the last, the greatest achievement of the Christian's warfare on earth. Teach us to pray, O Lord!—Samuel Taylor Cotteridge. Character Alone Endures. Nothing is eternal but that which is done for God and for others. That which is done for self-dies. Perhaps it is not wrong, but it perishes. You say it is pleasure—well, enjoy it. But joyous recollection is no longer joy. That which ends in self is mortal. That alone which goes out of self into God lasts forever.—Frederick W. Robertson. Be Appreciative. Seek to cultivate a buoyant, joyous sense of the crowded kindnesses of God in your daily life.—Alexander MacLaren. A Poor Reward. A Christian citizen who sacrifices his convictions for a small and dirty victory advertises a pusillanimous Christ. How Honest Men Become Criminals "It is quite possible for a normally honest man to become a criminal by suggestion," was the curious statement made by a well-known New York detective who was in Washington recently on business. "I am referring now to men who permit themselves to develop an abnormal interest in the ways of professional criminals. "I wouldn't call it a safe thing for any man to attempt, to figure out in his mind what he would have done to escape arrest had he been in the boots of some captured criminal whom he had read about. But that's a thing that thousands of men who think they're honest are doing all the time. When there's a big man hunt on they follow it with acute interest, put themselves in the place of the hunted man, and dope out schemes of escape for him. A certain percentage of such calculators are bound to experience the hankering, sooner or later, to put their schemes for evading the officers of the law into practical operation, if only for the foolish purpose of finding out how their plans will work. "Working in New York now on a salary of a few dollars a week is a broken, middle-aged man who used to be treasurer of a bonding and indemnity company at a salary of $10,000 a year. This man developed a queer bug for mentally tracing the movements of fugitives from justice, especially embezzlers. "I was acquainted with this man, and he endeavored to pump me for all I knew about such cases. He liked to talk about the fleeing ones. He laid out routes for them in his mind. He knew the extradition laws by heart and had at his fingers' ends every country in the world to which a pursued man could run without fear of extradition. Once I gave this man a talking to about this hobby of his. "You'd better can that stuff," I told him, "or it'll begin to fester in the back of your head and get you going. I've known such things to happen, and no man is more than one-eighth as strong as he thinks he is. If I didn't know you pretty well I'd have my suspicions of you as it is." "Well, he only laughed and told me that he was interested in the subject just as other fellows were interested in old fiddles or rare postage stamps or the trjm of their whiskers. "Anjhow,' he laughingly added, 'If I did jump, and you were sent after me, you'd never be subjected to the embarrassment of taking me, because you'd never get me. If I couldn't beat all these pin-headed fugitives in making a safe and sure getaway, so that none of you would ever nail me. I'd want to have my head bagred." "Not more than six months after that he made his jump and I got him as easy as hot-footing a banana peddler. I went straight to the little villa he had taken outside Genoa, Italy. When I nailed him he was the most stuned man you ever saw, for he'd made his hop at the beginning of his month's vacation, and had laid all his plans with what he thought was masterly adroitness, according to his chart, with thirty days' margin of time to accomplish the scheme in. In consideration of his returning most of the swag he only got eight years. "That man put himself in the way of becoming a criminal by suggestion. His studies of the movements of fleeing absconders developed an irresponsibility in him and an ache to put to the test the getaway plans that he spent so much of his time in doping out while yet he was an honest man. "There is no calculating how many shoilifters, especially young women, are led to try that sort of thing through hearing and reading about professional lifters. Not long ago, in a New York department store, a girl was nailed while trying to lift a pair of inexpensive gloves. The girl had an account at the store for any amount that she chose to spend up to the thousands. She wasn't arrested, of course, but she was led to the rear office and chided by the head of the firm in a gentle sort of way. "Perhaps you should put yourself 'in the hands of a specialist for treatment,' he said to the girl, who wept softly. 'With you, beyond a doubt, it is klementonia—it must be.' "No, it isn't," replied the girl with the utmost candor. "It's 'not kleptomania at all. I don't believe in such silliness. I just wanted to see if I could do it without being caught, that's all. A lot of the girls were talking about shoplifters — they seemed so fascinating—and the girls dared me to try. I meant to exhibit the gloves to them as a trophy and then send them back to you by mail, anonymously. You won't ever breathe a word of it, will you?" and the head of the firm, knowing pretty well which side his bread is buttered on, of course only tells the story without using the girl's name, but the incident illustrates an occurrence which is common. Plenty of women lift things from-counters just to see if they can do it without being caught, and when they succeed in getting away with it once they try it again and again, and allow the habit to become fixed upon them until the inevitable day of discovery arrives. "The people who become criminals by suggestion are nearly always the veriest plugs at any line of work they take up, for first-rate criminals are born, not made, by suggestion or in any other way. When Jimmy Hope, the cracksman, was working he was just as much of a genius in his particular line as Paderewskil is said to be at piano thumping or Saint-Gaudens with the sculptor's clay."—Washington Star. FLORICULTURE FOR CRIMINALS. 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 being carried on at the Territorial penitentiary of New Mexico in Santa Fe. In a well equipped, thoroughly modern conservatory, which has been constructed in the prison, some of the most desperate criminals in America are for a profusion of flowers of many kinds. General interest is taken in the conservatory among the 250 convicts in the penitentiary, and it is no uncommon thing, says the Santa Fe correspondent of the Los Angeles Times, to see a "ilfer" caring for a lily or a rose. Since the convicts in the New Mexico penitentiary took up this new work the morale of the institution has greatly improved. There is hardly a convict in the 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 library. Superintendent H. O. 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 floriculture in 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 influence 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 tractable. 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 fountain. Time flies rapidly instead of dragging, and the poor chap actually enjoys life. He takes the remembrance of all this to his cell with him perhaps in the form of a bouquet. He sings or whistles cheerily and his good spirits prove infectious. Thus, unconsciously, he assists in raising the general morale of the prison. "If convicts were given more such work to do in their idle hours—more gardeneng and raising flowers instead of moodily pacing the prison yard in quest of exercise, or being kept pegging at contract labor all day, there would be fewer tragedies in penentiaries—fewer attempts to break out and fewer offaleks sacrificed in doing their duty. Anything that can take a convict's mind off himself is a great advance in prison methods. Our little greenhouse has 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 takes one man to clean one of the windows. That is not very long, is it? The fact is, the pressure on the rolling stock of all railroads is so great now that when a train comes in enough men are put to work cleaning it to enable it to take its place, in an outgoing train in a few minutes. As you can see for yourself, there is a man on the ladder of every window of this car—and every man is working as rapidly as he can to clean his particular 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 minutes, does the job."—Philadelphia Record. Reason For the Heavenly Ladder: A young lady who taught a Sunday-school, class of young boys was often nonplussed by the ingenious questions sometimes propounded by her young hopefuls. One Sunday the lesson touched on the story of Jacob's dream, in which he had a vision of angels descending and ascending a ladder extending from Heaven to earth. One inquiring youngster wanted to know why the angels used a ladder, since they all had wings. At a loss for a reply, the teacher sough, to escape the difficulty by leaving the question to the class. "Can any of you tell us why the angels used a ladder?" she asked. One little fellow raised his hand. "Please, ma'am," he said, "p'r'aps they was noulting!" — Harper's Weekly. Indian Philosophy. The other day Elsie, the oldest living, Tonkawa Indian, was making some purchases in one of our hardware stores, and the enterprising salesman called her attention to a washing machine which he said would make "Blue Monday" a day of pleasure. Old Elsie admired the gaily painted machine, but when she was made to understand for what purpose it was intended she sniffed the air in contempt. "Me no wash, Pale face wash, wash—all time wash, Wash Monday, Monday, Monday, heap, wash. Indian no wash; all time dirty. Pale face wash; all time dirty, too."—Tonkawa (Okla.) News. The phrase "sthuosity of explanation" is Mr. Cleveland's own collage GOOD ROADS. Indiana Road Improvement. Indiana seems to be entitled to first place in the rank of the States which have helped to improve their highways, so far as the percentage of roads improved can give rank. The Office of Public Roads, U. S. Department of Agriculture, reports that in the year 1904 Indiana had surpassed 20,582 miles with gravel and 2295 miles with stone, making 23,877 miles out of a total of 68,306 miles of roads in that State. That is, thirty-five per cent. of the roads has been improved. The report states* that for each square mile of territory Indiana has 1-9 mile of public road, which equals a mile of such road for each thirty-six inhabitants, and a mile of improved road for every 105 of its population. In other words, for each of its people the State has 8.88 rods of public road, and 3.05 rods of improved roads per capita of its population. A road tax of not to exceed thirty cents on each $100 worth of taxable property outside of incorporated cities and towns is always levied annually by the township trustee of each township. An additional tax of ten cents on the $100 valuation may be levied for the construction and repair of bridges, culverts and other road purposes, if agreed to by the board 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 per 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, is required to perform not less than two or more than four days' labor on the public roads each year, or to furnish a substitute; or in lieu of this labor he may pay to the road overseer $1.50 for each day he is assessed. Bonds may be issued by the boards of commissioners of any county for graveling and macadamizing or otherwise improving roads. The limit of indebtedness for this purpose at any one time is fixed by law at four per cent. of the total assessed valuation of the property of the township, or townships, in which the roads are located. The law provides two methods of paying the principal and interest on these bonds. The first is by assessment against property according to benefits received. The second is by a special tax levied against the property in the township, or townships, including cities and towns of not to exceed 30,000 inhabitants. A tax of not to exceed ten cents upon each $100 of taxable property for every ten miles of gravel or stone road may be assessed by the county auditor upon all the taxable property of the county for the repair of the same. The amount derived from the property tax in the various counties and townships and expended in cash or labor on roads was $2,095,970.30 in 1904; the estimated cash value of the labor tax was $895,438.25, and the amount expended from bond issues during the same year amounted to $1,307,768.95, making a total expenditure 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 multiplying the number of men drafted-for road service by the number of days required of each per annum, and this product by $1.25, the amount per day required by law in lieu of labor. It will be interesting to note that during the past ten years $11,068,903.58 has been expended on the public roads of Indiana from bond issues alone. By comparing the 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 expended for road purposes, including the estimated cash value of the labor tax, amounted to $62.94 per mile of public road, or $1.70 per inhabitant.—Good Roads Magazine. Keep the Roads in Good Shape. The best time to get out the split-log drag and do some good work is during the spring thaws. As the frost leaves the ground and as the surface dries off the split log will do wonders in leveling up the bed. It has been urged upon farmers to look after that much of the public highway as is adjacent to each respective farm. While many do this willingly and keep that much of the road in fine condition, others are not so public spirted, and refuse to do any road work except under the direction of the roadmaster. Good roads will not be made nor kept up under the old system of working out road taxes. Each individual farmer should take enough pride in good roads to do a little extra work. The split log will keep a well drained road bed in nice condition, and two or three times over, after each rain, does the job. Get out the drag. Your example will be an incentive for others to do likewise.—Indiana Farmer. Increases Property Value. The Pueblo (Col.) Chieftain adds its evidence to the cause of good roads when it says: "The benefits of public improvements, especially paving, are shown in the rapidly increasing value of property within the paving districts of Pueblo. This increase will more than pay the cost of the paving. It should stimulate a demand for paving among property owners in sections of the city where this improvement has not been made."

President McCrea of the Pennsylvania Railroad has acted wisely and commendably in raising the age limit at which men may enter the employ of his company from 35 to 40 years. There was never a more senseless notion than that which would limit the age of efficient service to 60 or even 65. Many of the strongest men in public and business life are over 60, and some of them are beyond 70. Farragut was 60 at the beginning of the Civil War, and Oyama was over 63 at the outbreak of the war between Japan and Russia. Hayrn wrote his oratorio, "The Creation," after he was 67. Goethe finished his "Faust" at 82 and Humboldt his "Cosmos" at 76. Among grand old men in the annals of American statesmanship it is sufficient to mention the names of George F. Hoar, John Quincy Adams and Thaddeus Stevens. Henry Ward Beecher never preached better than in the last year of his life. J. Hierpont Morgan and H. H.

There are some monstrous stones in the temple of Baalbeec, Syria; and the Peruvians had a method of transporting immense stones, which nowadays would, if known, mean a fortune to engineers. Among the feats performed by the Egyptians was that of erecting ocells weighing 400 tons or over. The Romans were also eminent engineers. Near the temple of Baalbeec there lies a stone ready quarried, which is seventy feet long and fourteen feet square. It weighs 1135 tons. There is now a canal connection between Milan and Pavia, about twenty-five miles long, through an ancient channel, which has been in use for more than 600 years.

Then the man arrives and the ceremony takes place. It is generally by license, as otherwise both would have to stay in England for four weeks. Cosmopolitan Virtues and Gifts of Versatility Meng Its Course. The newspapers of Boston are not the same as those of New York; there is a greater difference between those of Chicago and New Orleans; and what is a "first-page story" in Philadelphia would be moved farther back in San Francisco to make room for another sort of sensation suited to the peculiar taste of its readers. But the subtle distinctions do not perplex the resourceful newspaper reporter. He comes from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast and in a week "his "stuff" is true in tone to the paper that has engaged him. He goes to the East from what is called the "unconventional" West, and in a month his work is in no wise to be distinguished from that of men who have begun and continued in the service of New York dailies. For proof, any important newspaper may be considered. In five years it probably has had scores of reporters, may have had two or three different city editors, and perhaps as many managing editors, yet the tone of the paper from first page to last is unchanged. In fact, that distinct, individual flavor often persists in spite of efforts to change it. It would be easy to name a score of papers in the country that are identical in dominating characteristics and tone with their issues of earlier years, in spite of the fact that their owners and the entire staff upon them have changed more than once. The true cosmopolitan is the newspaper reporter. It is easy enough to appear content in any quarter of the globe, and in Rome to live as the Romans do, but the reporter does more. He is Norwegian and Italian, proletarian and palace-wise. Republican and Democrat, several times each day, and the narrow provincialism of the metropolis is as much his as the freedom and the long perspective of the mining camp. It is versatility, more of temperament than of talent, that distinguishes him. The citizen of the world, with a nose for news, a supernatural ingenuity in obtaining it, a pretty knack of description, and the ability to be always in the mood for work, might make an average reporter. The good reporters who become editors have additional faculties, not accumulated, but indigenous.—San Francisco Argonaut. The Stunts of the Agile Log-Man.

A man in Marinette, whose name I have forgotten, could turn a somersault on a log; innumerable others like to lie down at length while floating with the current; Jack Boyd could "up-end" a railroad tie without falling into the water; and it is very cold water indeed that can scare off an occasional birling match.—From "Jack Boyd: Master Riverman," by Stewart Edward White, in the Outing Magazine Brought HJs Knife Along. Whenever the penurious manager of the large store wanted to sharpen his pencil he would enter the shipping department and borrow a knife from one of the boys. Sometimes the boys did not have their knives with them, but there was one lad, Tommy Breen, who always could be depended upon. "How is it, Tommy?" asked the manager one day as he whittled his pencil, "that you always have your knife, with you, and the other boys haven't?" Tommy hesitated for a moment, then gathering courage, said: "The wages I get aren't enough for me to afford more than one pair of pants."—Harper's Weekly.

"Cuticura Soap and Ointment are the greatest remedies for skin diseases on earth. I have suffered six months from a disease which I cannot describe, but I will tell you the symptoms. My skin was full of red spots and my face was full of red pimples. It made life miserable for me and I was discouraged with everything. I went to several doctors, but it was useless.

The hammer, besides being a tool of universal use, is probably the oldest representative of a mechanic's tool kit. The hammer was originally a stone fastened to a handle with thongs, and, it was as useful as a weapon as a tool. Hammers are represented on the monuments of Egypt twenty captures before our era. They greatly resemble the hammer now in use, save that there were no claws on the back for the extraction of nails. Claw hammers were invented some time during the Middle Ages. Illuminated manuscripts of the eleventh century represent carpenters with claw hammers. Hammers are of all sizes, from the dainty instruments used by the jeweller, which weigh less than half an ounce, to the gigantic fifty ton hammer 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. GOT THE CROWD "Rev. Sixthly is always thinking up some way to fill the church with women," says the friend.

Trouble Among the Dipsomaniacs In Bellevue the Result. Michael Newman, an electrician of 2,431 First avenue, who is incidentally a skilled ventriolquist, was admitted to the alcoholic ward in Bellevue Hospital last night. Soon after he arrived a blood-curdling cry of "Help! Help!" was heard through the ward. It seemed to come from nowhere in particular. Dr. Drury, the physician in charge, and the nurses made an anxious search, but found nothing. "It was certainly a cry of distress," said the doctor. The nurses thought so, too. Newman apparently was asleep. Presently chronic patients straightened up and looked with hopeful eyes as a hoarse whisper sounded through the ward: "Say, fellows, have a drink on me." Two of the male nurses jumped to their feet ready to pounce on the man who would make such an offer in the ward. They walked through the line of cots, but could not trace the source of the invitation. The ward settled down to quiet again. Presently a low trembling roar not unlike that of a cub lion was heard. "I've got 'em," moaned one patient, covering his head with the sheet. Again a search was made to learn the cause of the noise, but without result. Soon the faint yet certain crow of a rooster was heard, followed by the wall of a cat. Nurses and orderlies searched under the cots and in the closets, but found neither cat nor rooster. "I'm bleeding to death," screamed a shrill voice after a while. It brought the nurses and orderlies to their feet in a hurry, thoroughly angry this time. While they were searching one of the nurses looked into Newman's face and saw that he was quivering with suppressed laughter. Under examination Newman confessed that he was a ventilator and the author of the noises his offense was overlooked.—New York Times. GAS. Its Lighting Property Was Discovered by a Scrittman Soon after Argand invented his lamp, William Murdock, a Scottish inventor, showed the world a new way of lighting a house. It had long been known that fat or coal, when heated, gives off a vapor or gas which burns with a bright light. Indeed, it is always a gas that burns and not a hard substance. In the candle or in the lamp the flame heats the oil which comes up to it through the wick and thus causes the oil to give off a gas. It is this gas that burns and gives the light. Now, Murdock, in 1798, put this principle to a good use. He heated coal in a large vessel, and allowed the gas which was driven off to pass through mains and tubes to different parts of his house. Whenever he wanted a light he let the gas escape at the end of the tube in a small jet and lighted it. Here was a lamp without a wick. Murdock soon extended his gas pipes-to his factories and lighted them with gas. As soon as it was learned how to make gas cheaply, and conduct it safely from house to house, while cities were rescued from darkness by the new illuminant—St. Nicholas. ZERO.

On the isthmus of Tehuantepec, in the country through which runs the new railroad from Salina Cruz on the Pacific to Coatzacoalcos on the Gulf of Mexico, the rapid growth of vegetation is said to be one of the most serious problems in the maintenance At least until the Panama Canal is completed, many expect that the greater burden of traffic between the Atlantic and the Pacific will be handled by the Tehuantepec National, on account of geographical advantages, as it affords the shorter MEXICO COATZACOACO BALINA CZUZ TENUANTEBCO NEW ORLEANS OULF OF MEXICO MEXICO COATZACOLON BALINACZUZ OULF OF TENUANTEZCO CENTRAL AMERICA PANAMA CANA MAP OF THE ISTHMUS of the road. The engineers found, in fact, that the tropical vegetation grew faster than the force of men at their disposal could cut it down. After a number of experiments it was found that boiling water was most effective in eradicating this too-willing vegetation, and now, just as the roadbeds of northern roads are sprinkled with oil to lay the dust, the line of the Tehuantepe road is liberally scalded at frequent intervals to keep cocoanut groves and sugar plantations from springing up over night between the ties and blockading the road.

The isthmus of Tehuantepec is situated in the southern portion of Mexico, in the States of Oaxaca and Vera Cruz. From ocean to ocean the distance is 125 miles.

The consumption of sugar in the United States is increasing rapidly, more rapidly than is the production. During the year just ended we used the enormous amount of 6,500,000-000 pounds of sugar, worth $330,000,000. If each citizen got his fair share, during the twelve months he consumed seventy-six pounds. Of this sugar only one-fifth was produced in the United States; one-fifth came from the island possessions, and three-fifths was imported from foreign countries. Of the American produced sugar, a little over half was from the sugar beet, the remainder from cane. This is 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.

NEW YORK PEACE CONFERENCE NORFOLK JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION —Drawn by Cartoonist DeMar, for the Philadelphia Record. SPECTACULAR MARINE PAGEANT OF ALL NATIONS AT NORFOLK In Spotless Array Uncle Sam's Great Armada Awaits in Hampton Roads the Foreign Guests of the Jamestown Ter-Centennial Exposition. Nortfolk, Va. — Americans have turned from thoughts of the International Peace Conference to the most splendid international war spectacle this country and probably the world has ever seen. The Jamestown Ter-Centennial Exposition, the newest world's fair, will be "a military, naval, marine and historic exhibition," according to the official statements. History will be given its due at the Exposition as we as the arts peace, but the aside feature will be the sight of Hampton Roads—already a famous naval arena—alive with the fighting craft of many nations, the shores glittering with soldiers in friendly rendezvous. The British fleet will consist of four armed cruisers—the Good Hope, Argyll, Hampshire and Roxbourg, under the command of a Rear-Admiral. The German fleet will consist of the armored cruiser Roon and the protected cruiser Bremen, under the command of a Commodore. The Austrian ships will consist of the armored cruiser Sankt Georg and the protected cruiser Aspern, under the command of a Commodore, who will be promoted to a Rear-Admiral. The Brazilian fleet, under a Rear-Admiral, consists of the battleship Riachuelo, the cruiser Barroso and the gun vessel Tamoro. The Brazili- The remarkable naval display is made possible by the fact that the Jamestown Exposition is the first great American fair held on a deepwater harbor. Practically all the civilized nations have accepted the President's invitation to send sections of their navies. As the summer advances the varying types of fighting craft, from saucy torpedo boats to the largest war vessel afloat, will pass through the harbor in endless procession. The United States Government will have an extensive display, showing the evolution of guns and fighting ships from the early days of the Nation to the present. There will also be a large encampment of militia, regular army and foreign troops. There are twenty-five battleships and submarines, and the Connecticut just off the Government pler at Fortress Monroe, which trails away up the broad channel leading to Norfolk. The vessels are anchored several thousand yards off the Exposition 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 Connecticut and Louisiana down to the all but abandoned Texas, the oldest American battleship and sister of the Maine, which was wrecked in Havana harbor. The Texas was built at the Norfolk navy yard mary 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 6315 tons of weight the Texas, when ranged alongside the mammoth Connecticut, which mounts twenty-four guns and displaces 19,000 tons of water, offers a striking example of the progress of the American navy since the days of 1886, when the Texas 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 life of the Exposition. The cruisers of the fleet are all modern craft, though the variance in size between the largest and the smallest is as great as that which marks the heavier vessels of the battle 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 cruiser class the most interesting vessel is perhaps the Brooklyn, the flagship of Reard-Admiral Schley in the battle with Cervera's squadron of Santiago, Cuba. The fleet 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 ships and armored and protected cruisers, form a marine panorama as a shade of the Exposition grounds such as has seldom, if ever, before been presented to the American public. The Navy Department has prepared a list of the foreign vessels to be in Hampton Roads. Toulon Atsenal Fire. Five large buildings were destroyed by the fire, alleged to be incendiary, at the Toulon (France) arsenal. Thirty men were injured and the submarine and torpedo stations were damaged. Weather Unfavorable: Cold weather has prevailed over an unusually large urea, retarding agril- wear well as trades in light weight wearing apparel and other spring goods. The British fleet will consist of four armed cruisers—the Good Hope, Argyll, Hampshire and Roxbourg, under the command of a Rear-Admiral. The German fleet will consist of the armored cruiser Roon and the protected cruiser Bremen, under the command of a Commodore. The Austrian ships will consist of the armored cruiser Sankt Georg and the protected cruiser Asperna, under the command of a Commodore, who will be promoted to be a Rear-Admiral. The Brazilian fleet, under a Rear-Admiral, consists of the battleship Riachuelo, the cruiser Barroso and the gun vessel Tamoyo. The Brazilian fleet will be the only foreign one containing a battleship. The Argentine Republic will send the training ship Presidente Sarmiento under the command of a commander. The Japanese fleet, in command of a Vice-Admiral, will consist of the armored cruiser Trukuba and the protected cruiser 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 Government will not be represented by a single ship, nor is it known that any officer of her army will come here. The other foreign countries to be represented will be France, Italy, Chile and Portugal. Italy will send two vessels in command of a captain, the armored cruiser Varese and the protected cruiser Etruria. Chile will send the protected cruiser Ministro Zentene under the command of a captain, while Portugal will send a protected cruiser, probably the Don Carlos. Spain has not signified her intentions of sending any war vessels. The entertainment committee of 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 determined. Several ships have already decided on the floats they will send. Three will send three of their cutters to represent the three old-time craft which brought the Pilgrims to Jamestown. Another float will represent the Great Harry, a renowned ship of war that period, and on the request the ship will be 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 trident and much else besides. During the carnival the ships will be illuminated, and there will be a hundred-searchlights playing over the brilliant scene. Aside from such diversions the strong armada will have little to do in the waiting days. The ships long ago completed their toilets and are so spic and span they hurt the eye. Nowhere is there an atoning blemish. It is all spotless buff and white, touched off here and there with the glint of polished steel and the shimmer of shining brass. From the flagship definite announcement came that the fleet will disperse on May 15. Two divisions will then go to sea for manoeuvring purposes, one division will go to navy yards for such minor repairs as may be needed, the other division will be reined until relieved by one of the divisions coming in from manoeuvres. The four divisions, sixteen battleships in all, are to reassemble here on June 10, set apart as Georgia Day, when there will be a celebration in honor of the birthday of the mother of President Roosevelt. As the foreign ships arrive they are officially welcomed by a boom of cannon from the Connecticut, the flagship of Rear-Admiral Robley, D. Evans, commanding the Atlantic fleet. All the American vessels now at anchor belong to this fleet. The unique feature of the Exposition will be the harbor for small craft, with an area of 1,280,000-square feet, inclosed by piers, costing the United States Government $400,000.

Redding, formerly director of the Georgia state experiment station at Griffin, has gone to Jamestown to assume his duties as the superintendent of the Georgia exhibit at the expedition. He was for seventeen years director of the experiment station, and with his long and varied experience in public affairs, will make one of the best informed superintendents at the exposition. . . . Communication a Curiosity. The comptroller general has received a letter, from "The Gate City Fire Insurance Company," the Atlanta concern against which complaints have been made to him. He regards the communication as a curiosity. It does not bear the signature of the officers; but was signed on a typewriter, "Gate City Fire Insurance Company, per clerk." The letter, according to the comptroller, is contradictory, in that it acknowledges receipt of several letters that have been written by the state's officers and later indicates that it has never seen two of the letters. Famers Can Ship Hams. According to a Washington dispatch the farmers of Brooks county, who are engaged in the profitable industry of raising pork for the market, will be delighted with the modified ruling of the bureau of animal industry in regard to meat inspection. The new ruling exempts from the operation of the law meat slaughtered by a farmer on his own farm, so Brooks county hams and bacon can now be shipped in interstate commerce by the farmers themselves or by merchants and dealers who can certify that the meat is wholesome and was slaughtered on the farm. Bundrick Glad to Get Back. Deputies Parker and Musselwhite, who went to Los Angeles, Cal., to identify and bring back to Crisp county George W. Bundrick, reached Cordelle Sunday afternoon with their prisoner. It will be remembered that Bundrick was tried and sentenced to be hanged for murder, but during a respite was taken to Americus jail where he escaped last December and has been a fugitive ever since, until he gave himself up to a farmer near Los Angeles. He expressed himself as glad to get home, and says he got tired wandering over the country trying to evade officers. He says he crossed the Mississippi river on a log. Swears He Will Not Hang. "I'll be d—— if they hang me. When I get out of this trouble I will horsewhip those fellows in there." These are some of the statements made in court at Augusta by Arthur Glover, after being sentenced for the second time to be hanged on May 24th for the murder of Maud Dean, his paraparmour. Glover, who was a detective, shot the woman without a moment's warning. He has been in many criminal episodes. The judge's arraignment of him in passing sentence was the most severe ever heard in Richmond county. The attorneys, for the defense announce an appeal, intimating that if necessary they will carry the case to the United States supreme court. No white man was ever hanged in Richmond county, and they say Glover shall not break the record. Cotton Seed Meal Barred Acting on the report of State Chemist J. M. McCandless, Commissioner Thomas G. Hudson, of the department of agriculture, has issued an order prohibiting the further sale in Georgia of the cotton seed meal product of 18 cotton oil mills. He also ordered that all contracts held by these mills for the fulfillment of orders with this particular brand of meal be cancelled, and, in addition, calls upon the manufacturers to forfeit all claims for purchase money from dealers, or to reimburse the purchaser. It is alleged that the product of the 18 mills does not meet the requirement of the state law regulating the manufacture and sale, of cotton seed meal. The following mills are affected by the order of the commissioner: South A dellihighly perfumed Hair Pomade prepared especially for Colored People. Neisen's Hair Dressing makes Harsh.

The brands of the mills above mentioned fall of requirement with the state law because they contain too little nitrogen, one of the three principal elements of plant food, the commission says. The brands have been placed on the market as first class, but the analysis of the state chemist of samples submitted to the department of agriculture shows them to fall short of the requirements of the law. Depends on County Line Depuis on County Eire There seems now to be no doubt of the fact that Secretary of State Phil Cook will be called upon to decide just where is the line between Laurens and Johnson counties. The line is being run by L. W. Roberts, of Atlanta, who was appointed by Governor Terrell to do the work. He has run a line that puts more than seven hundred acres of Laurens county into Johnson and by his survey has located the scene of the Tarbutton, Fluker and Tyre tragedy in Johnson. Laurens' representatives in the survey claim that Mr. Roberts has not followed the line as described in the act. He has consented to run a line according to their contention. If he accepts this line, which has been accepted as being correct for more than ninety years, the matter will end. If he insists that the line he has run is not correct, a fight will be made before Secretary of State. Phill Cook. About seven hundred acres of land are involved, but this is as nothing to the contention of the two counties as to the scene of the tragedy when J. Letcher Tyre was killed by G. A. Tarbutton, Joe Fluker and Herschel Tarbutton and the latter was killed by Tyre. The defendants want the strip put into Johnson so that they can be tried there and the people of Laurens want the trial to take place in their county.
