VOL. XXII. LOVE WRONG SIDED Startling Development in Bush Case at Atlanta. BOMB SENDER IS JAILED Instead of Being Jilted Lover, Bush Was Jealous of Woman Who Was Engaged to Marry His Business Partner. Charged with sending a bomb to Miss McCarthy, at 447 East Georgia avenue, to murder the young lady, because she was about to wed Charlie Dolittle, with whom he was infatuated, the bomb nearly killing the girl's mother, Fred Bush was arraigned in the recorder's court at Atlanta Friday afternoon, and held in a $10,000 bond for assault with intent to murder. Charlie Doolittle was also arraigned, but the case against him was dismissed. The case was one of the most sensational that has ever been heard in any court in the city. The man who was held under such a heavy bond stood charged with attempting to annihilate a whole family and especially a young woman, because a young man visited the house for whom he had for many years held a deep, and what was believed to be an unnatural affection. It was brought out at the trial that act of Bush was that of a gilt lover, but the evidence in the case, which was investigated by the recorder brought out the fact that Fred Bush was so deeply attached to Charlie Doolittle that he tried to wreck a home and murder a household, rather than become separated from a youth, who was his partner in business and for whom his affection was almost a mania. In one part of the investigation the city attorney asked Doolittle if Bush ever hugged and kissed him, and Doolittle laughed slightly and replied that he did several years ago. Charlie Doolittle stood near Bush during the trial, and it was noted by more than one in the court room that Bush never took his eyes from the pale-faced youth by his side. Doolittle told nothing criminating against his business partner and warm friend. As the recorder remarked, he did all he could to shield Bush from the arm of the law. Itw as brought out at the trial that Doolittle is now, or was when the murder was attempted, Miss McCarthy's sweetheart. They were engaged to be married. Mrs. Julla McCarthy, the mother of the girl for whom the internal machine was indeed intended, and who was seriously injured, was not able to appear in court. The negro messenger boy, the only person who saw the man who sent the box to the McCarthy home, pointed Bush out in court as the man whom he had met on the night of the explosion. Miss McCarthy was on the stand and told about her love affairs with Doolittle and about how queerly he acted at times. Bush made a statement. His manner was cool, collected and suave. His reasons for everything was "business." It was business that made him object to Charlie Doolittle visiting young ladies; it was business that made him bring Charlie back to Atlanta from Florida; it was business that made him go to see Mrs. McCarthy; it was business that made him take such a deep interest in Charlie's affairs and act as his guardian and master. STRIKERS ADD TO DEMANDS. They Also Want the Abolition of the Fine System. A special from Oriilba, Mexlco, says that the 12,000 textile operatives who are out on strike have added to their demands for the abolition of the fine system. Suffering and destitution are becoming evident among the strikers, but they are defiant and obstinate. . RIDER MEETS HIS MATCH. Assaulted Hot Springs Doctor and is Fatally Stabbed. Dr. Thomas B. Rider, who has gained notoriety by suing former Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock for $100,000 in connection with a prolonged fight against the ethical doctors of Hot Springs, whom he claims were in a conspiracy to ruin him, was probably fatally stabbed late Friday afternoon by Dr. A. U. Williams, one of the wealthiest and most prominent physicians of Hot Springs. The stabbing followed an assault on Williams by Rider. The Savannah Tribune. GEORGIA WINS VICTORY. Big Copper Plants at Ducktown, Tenn. Declared to Be Nuisances in Decision by U. S. Supreme Court. Georgia has won its case against the Tennessee Copper company and the Ducktown Sulphur, Copper and Iron company in the United States supreme court. Dispatches from Washington Monday morning announced a decision in the famous litigation, which has been in the courts since 1903. The opinion was handed down by Justice Peckham, who declared that if Georgia pressed the case against the copper manufacturers an injunction would be issued against the defendant. For over three years Attorney General John C. Hart, assisted by Attorney Ligon Johnson, who has been associated with him in all the intricate litigation, has fought the case for the state of Georgia. The big copper roasting plants are at Isabella and Ducktown, Tenn., just across the line from Georgia. They began smelting in 1901 and by 1902 local evidences of destruction to vegetation from the sulphur fumes appeared. In 1903 the area of damage had spread across the Tennessee line and had appeared in the upper tier of Georgia counties. Complaints began coming to the state authorities, and the legislature of that year was petitioned to afford relief. A legislative committee was appointed to investigate, and if damages were found as set forth the governor was authorized to institute proceedings to abate a nuisance. The report of the committee more than sustained the allegations in the petition, and an appeal was made to the Tennessee governor to estop the nuisance. On refusal, legal proceedings were instituted. At that time the ors was roasted in the open and on the promise to abandon this method, legal action was dismissed. The abatement of the trouble was not permanent, however, and further complaints came from a wider area of destruction. Since then the case has been fought in the courts until now Georgia wins finally, being given power to completely suppress the nuisance. Nearly 100 miles of northern Georgia has been almost completely denuded of vegetation, and many farmers have had to practically abandon farming. This decision is expected to have far-reaching effect as a precedent, as other cases have awaited the outcome of the Georgia litigation. Coming to the proof in the case, Justice Holmes said: "Without any attempt to go into details, immaterial to the suit, it is proper to add that we are satisfied by a preponderance of evidence that the sulphurous fumes caused and threatened damage on so considerable a scale to the forest and vegetable life, if not to human health, within the plaintiff's state as to make a case within the requirement of the case of Missouri vs. Illinois. If the state addresses to its determination, there is no alternative to issuing an injunction after allowing a reasonable time to the defendant to complete the structures that they are now building, and the efforts that they are making to stop the fumes. The plaintiff may submit a form of decree on the convening of this court in October, next." PAT CALHOUN RADICAL. President of Frisco Trolley Roads Draws Line at Union Labor. One hundred cars, manned and guarded by 350 non-union strikebreakers, were operated in San Francisco Monday. President Calhoun of the United Railways made the following statement: "I shall not take back any striking motorman or conductor, unless he first surrenders his union card, and signs a contract to remain a non-union man so long as he remains in the company's employment. If any non-union men are attacked and police protection is not afforded, I shall exercise a constitutional right and arm the I shall not stand by and see my crews beaten up." UNION PACIFIC "WATER" TAKEN. Full Amount of Bond Issue of $75,000,000 is Subscribed. It was announced by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. at New York Monday that the full amount of the issue of $75,000,000 of bonds proposed to be made by the Union Pacific railway company has been subscribed by the members of a syndicate formed for the purpose of underwriting the issue. The syndicate will receive such portion as is not taken by the stockholders. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MAY 18. 1907. BIGGER ATLANTA Planned By Her Citizens at an Enthusiastic Meeting. By a unanimous vote the Atlanta chamber of commerce at a special meeting Tuesday night endorsed the greater Atlanta movement by the adoption of the following resolution: "Resolved, That we, the members of the chamber of commerce, and friends here assembled, heartily endorse the proposed extension of the city limits of Atlanta and pledge our individual support." Speeches endorsing the movement were made by Postmaster Blodgett, L. Z. Rosser, J. K. Orr, Sam W. Small, Frank P. Rice, Judge George Hillyer, Capt. W. G. Raoul, Joel Hurt, J. L. Logan and Mayor W. R. Joyner, in the order named, besides representatives from the Columbus and Des Moines delegations in the city attending the trainmen convention. Mayor Joyner thought it time to get rid of one shoe string district, while President R. P. Rice of the water board, was willing for his vacant land to be embraced in the new limits. Captain Raoul favored taking in the whole of Fulton county, if necessary, and Joel Hurt suggested that the city should take in what is known as the seven branches, and that these should be improved and beautified and converted into parks. Ex-President J. K. Orr, of the chamber of commerce, thought the occasion ripe when the charter revision, considered by the famous committee of "forty-nine" should be revived, and Sec. J. L. Logan of the Associated Charities thought the present charter a "patch-work quilt without design." The visiting speakers were Secretary J. Y. Bassett of the Columbus board of trade, and ex-Congressman Butler, Vice President Allen of the Commercial Club; Secretary of State Dobson and Lucius Edgar Wilson, secretary of the Greater Des Moines Club. Each of these speakers expressed surprise at the magnificent city they found and ex-Congressman Butler advised that they make it a symmetrical city in its limits, and Joel Hurt vouchsafted the information that the limits were originally a circle, and he thought the time propitious when it should be circular again. POLICEMAN GOT TOO GAY. First Man Fired Under Atlanta's New Civil Service Rules. On the charge of paying attention to a young lady, Policeman George Pruitt, who is a man of family, was dismissed from the Atlanta police force in a very sensational manner. Pruitt was present at a meeting of of the police board and when called to the front said he handed in his resignation. "Are you guilty of the charges?" asked Captain English, a member of the board. "Well, yes," replied Pruitt. "I have met the young lady several times." "And you are a man with a wife and children?" asked Captain English. "I am," was the reply. "Mr. Chairman," said Captain English, in a rising tone of voice, "I move that this man be dismissed from the force without any trial." The motion was seconded and Pruitt was fired bodily. He left the room and as he was walking out Captain English remarked: "We don't want any such people connected with this department and I make the further motion that he be damissed in disgrace and that this be so recorded on our minutes." The motion was adopted. HIS MAYBELLE SOOTHED HIM. Angry Corey Threatened to Totally Annihilate Camera Men. In an angry scene at the steamship pler in Hoboken, N. J., Tuesday morning before he salied with his bride, William Ellis. Corey raised his big stick and threatened to attack camera men who essayed to take snapshots of him and his bride, Mabelle Gilman Corey. Mrs. Corey, with soothing words, twice prevented her husband from carrying out his threats of violence. UNCLE SAM WILL·BALK At Proposed Scheme for Joint Protectorate, With Mexico Over Little Central American Republics. The proposition ascribed to President Diaz that the United States and Mexico should establish a joint protectorate over a union of Central American states has caused great commotion among the Latin-American diplomatic representatives at Washington. Senor Calvo, the Costa Rican minister, Doctor Mejia, the Salvadoran minister, and Senor Tolub Herrate, the Guatemalan minister, called in a body at the state department Tuesday to discuss the subject with the officials. They had no news or instructions from their own government as to the attitude they should assume, but they were especially desirous of learning what advices the state department had on the subject. There was nothing of an official character to enlighten them and it did not develop that the American government had so far had any exchanges with the government of Mexico beyond those involved in the common effort to bring about a termination of the hostilities that had existed between Honduras and Salvador and Nicaragua. An incident to the conclusion of the treaty of Amalpa was that the agreement for continuance of peace in Central America states named that a conference should be held later on in Nicaragua to insure the continuance of peace in Central America. Details of the agreement have not yet reached the state department, but it is surmised that there is no obstacle to the adhesion of Guatemala and Costa Rica to the formal agreement which may be reached by the projected conference. Thus, in effect, would be formed what would amount to a confederacy of the Central American states, though each of the elements might preserve its individuality and its own government. It is said an American protectorate over such a loose confederation, singly or in combination with Mexico, is entirely out of the question, the executive branch of the government being without authority to enter upon such an agreement even if it is so desired, but there does not seem to be any reason to suppose the state department is inclined to change its policy in the matter of constantly endeavoring by moral suasion to conserve the peace in Central America. COURT A FULL INVESTIGATION. New York Exchange Plans to Outwit Theodore Price. Some members of the New York cotton exchange Tuesday discussed a plan to call a meeting of the exchange and raise the question that it was to the best interests of the exchange that in the suit of Theodore H. Price against the exchange, and more particularly its classification committee, no technical objections should be interposed which might prevent a full, thorough and searching investigation. SOUTH CAROLINA DIOCESE Meets in One Hundred and Seventy- First Annual Council. The 171st annual council of the South Carolina diocese of the Episcopal church convened in Columbia on Tuesday, Bishop Ellison Capers presiding. The annual sermon was delivered by Rev. John Kershaw of Charleston. One of the most important matters before the council is the election of a bishop coadjutor. FORTUNES MADE IN WHEAT. Many Wise Ones Benefited by Unloading at High Prices. Many men took small fortunes from the Chicago board of trade Tuesday morning by quietly unloading wheat at the high prices made possible by Monday's extraordinary bull movement. December wheat touched a dollar for a single sale at the opening, but promptly receded from this conspicuous position. DIFFERENCES NOW ADJUSTED. Mexico and Guatemala Arrive at Pacific Understanding. The Mexican ambassador, Mr. Creel, at Washington, authorizes the Associated Press to say that the trouble between Mexico and Guatemala has been definitely and satisfactorily adjusted. Mr. Creel received advices from his home government to that effect. As to the basis of the agreement, the ambassador declined to talk. "You may state, however," he said, "that the trouble is now over," and that a satisfactory agreement has been reached." THIRTY-ONE DEAD As Result of Frightful Wreck on Southern Pacific. WAS A SHRINER SPECIAL A special from Barbara, Cal., says: While hurrying northward over the coast line of the Southern Pacific railroad Saturday afternoon, homeward bound, after a week of fraternizing, and fliestas in Los Angeles, 145 Shriners, of Ismalla Temple, of Buffalo, and Rajah Temple, of Reading, Pa., with their families and friends, were hurled into the midst of death, when their special train, running fifty miles an hour, struck a defective switch at Honda, a lonely station on the sand wastes of the Pacific beach, derailing the train, smashing the coaches into flinders, killing thirty-one almost instantly and injuring more than a score of others. the bodies of twenty-five lay in the morgues at Santa Barbara Sunday afternoon, and ten more are at San Luis Obispo. The injured, many of whom are terribly hurt and will probably die, are in two sanitariums at San Luis Obique. The wreck occurred at 2:10 o'clock, one hour and forty-five minutes after the conclave visitors forming a merry party, had spent all the morning sight-seeing in Santa Barbara. The statement that the train was making a terrific speed when it covered the sixty-one miles of curves and crooked track between Santa Barbara and Honda in exactly 100 minutes. There was no warning of the impending calamity. The special plunged down the defective switch, and in an instant the big locomotive, baggage car, dinner and Pullman, coupled with it, were hurled together in a huge heap of wreckage. The engine shot forward on the broken track, tearing up the rails and ties and twisting the huge iron spans into fish hooks. The baggage car half buried itself in the sand on the right side of the locomotive. It was smashed almost to kindling wood. The dining car, in which were thirty-two persons, eating their noonday meal, leaped into the air and was thrown directly on top of the demolished locomotive. Nearly every person in this coach was instantly killed. Scores were scalded by steam escaping from disconnected pipes in the kitchen on the diner. The terror and turmoil of the scene was indescribable. Many of those who escaped death by the first impact were crushed by the rear coaches hurled upon the wreckage. Others, pinioned in the debris, were roasted alive. The wreckage caught fire from the coals of the engine, but was extinguished in a few minutes by the passengers who escaped injury. Engineer frank Champlaine was pitched with his cab 25 feet beyond the engine, and got up and ran three-quarters of a mile, seeking help before he discovered that his arm was broken, and that he was severely scalded. A man standing behind his wife in the baggage car was hurled through a huge rent in the car and alighted in soft and yielding sand almost uninjured. The woman was forced through the floors, and wreckers had to lift tons of baggage to get her body out. But the unfortunate who occupied every seat in the dining car were caught in a veritable death trap. Only two of the nine men of the diner crew are numbered among the dead. The remainder, though cooped up in the narrow kitchen and pantry, sustained bad cuts and bruises. Rajah Temple, of Reading, Pa., occupied the last car on the train, and were the last ones to go forward to the diner. The car was filled almost entirely with Reading people when the wreck occurred. An instant after the smash those who were not rendered insensible or otherwise incapacitated by the terrible impact, jumped from the train to render aid, but the gruesome scene before them unfitted many for the work they had to do long hours before relief arrived. The president has appointed Edward B. Moore of Michigan to be commissioner of patents, to succeed Frederick I. Allen, resigned. Mr. Moore has been assistant commissioner for several years. SPANISH HEIR IS BORN. A Madrid special says: The queen of Spain Friday morning gave birth to a son and heir to the Spanish throne. This is the first time in many generations that the first child of a king and queen of Spain has been born a male. The announcement from the imperial palace that Queen Victoria had presented her subjects with an heir to the kingdom was halted with great enthusiasm by the thousands who gathered about the palace after the formal announcement had been made. As soon as the sex of the child was known, the waiting populace were notified by a salute of 21 guns fired from the palace grounds. Next to the enthronement of a king the birth of a son and beir to the royal parents is the most important ceremony at the Spanish court. Following the custom of centuries, the baby is placed on a huge gold plate immediately after birth and presented to its father. The king himself accompanied by Queen Victoria's Spanish and English physicians on either side, walks down a long line of functionaries, all of whom bow profoundly. The king walks to where the prime minister is standing. After determining the sex of the child he announces: "It is a prince. God bless the prince." This is the signal for prolonged applause. Then the king still carrying the prince, walks through a long line of ambassadors and exhibits the baby to each of them in turn. The next step in the unusual ceremony is the taking of the infant to the notary of the palace. He has a book in which is recorded the sex of the child, the date, hour and place of birth. The book relates the ancestry of the child for the last 500 years. This task accomplished, the king hands his son over to the mistress of the robes. Then the little one is taken to its magnificent layette and presented to its mother. As soon as she is able the queen proceeds to the church of the Atocha, where she gives thanks for the birth of her child. Then follows the baptism, which is accomplished with as much pomp and ceremony, as the birth of the child. More than one hundred Spanish women have been working for months on the baby's wardrobe. The christening and presentation robes of the new heir will be the same as those worn by King Alfonso. The advent of a royal babe at the court of Spain is always regarded as a matter of great import. At a time when practically only one life stands between the continued peace and prosperity of the country and the unleashing of the dogs of war at the blinding of Carlists, socialists or revolutionists, it is fraught with especial significance. BIXBY QUITS GOOD JOB. Resigns as Commissioner of the Five Civilized Indian Tribes. "Tams" Bixby, who has for many years been the commissioner to the five civilized tribes of Indians in Indian-Territory, at a salary of $5,000, has sent his resignation to Secretary Garfield to take effect June 30. An attorney for some of the Indians, several months ago, filed charges against Bixby. These were investigated, and Bixby exonerated. TWELVE MONTHS FOR HUMMEL. New York Lawyer Must Go to Jail for Conspiracy. One year in state prison and to pay a fine of $500 was the sentence imposed at New York Friday on Abraham H. Hummel, the lawyer who was convicted of conspiracy in the famous Dodge-Morse divorce case. Hummel was convicted in the New York state supreme court several months ago, but appealed. The decision was affirmed by the higher court. MIDDIES REBUKE OFFICER And Are, in Return for Insult, Virtually Made Prisoners! The whole membership of the First battalion of the brigade of midshipmen at Annapolis has been restricted for an indefinite period to the confines of the institution, as a result of its members having "given the silence" to Lieutenant Commander McVay, Jr., one of the discipline officers. The members had taken exception to McVay's mode of investigating their actions and determined to administer this form of rebuke to him. Largest Sick and Death Benefits; Smallest Premiums.

It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures without allowing the air to escape. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating that their tires have only been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly tells when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Hasket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction. The regular price of these tires is $5.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider of only $5.00 per pair. All orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.O.D. on approval. You do not pay a cent until you have examined and found them strictly as represented.

Every farmer wants to know to a cent the value of what he buys and sells, and should not leave this to be figured by the party with whom he is dealing. As labor saving machinery has been invented to save time and physical strength, so there are devices to enable the mind to reach quickly and accurately results usually arrived at-with much thought and tedious calculation. Time is worth much, but accuracy is still more important. 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. CHARLES E. STEWART, Asst. General Passenger Agent, Savannah, Georgia. The Pulpit A SERMON BY THE REV. JRAW HENDERSON Subject: The Religious Life. Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching at the Iving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme "The Religious Life," the pastor, the Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, took as his text Deut. 8:3. "Man doth not live by bread only, but by everything that procedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live." He said: The one thing most necessary in the life of the individual and of society is religion. A man may exist in the possession of all the temporal and material aids to comfort, and to the satisfaction of the natural man, but he never begins really to live until he is conscious of the divine personality and recognizes the validity of the divine control. A man may exist without a thoroughgoing sense of the reality and the control of "The Divinity that shapes our ends," but he only is alive when he gains a consciousness of God and of his accountability and infinite indebtedness to Him. In our day too many men are drifting from the religious life, too many are endeavoring to live without a controlling sense of the reality of God, too many are endeavoring to live as though God were non-existent and as though He were entitled to no authority over their lives. Many good men, confusing ecclesiasticism with religion, and uncomprehending of the vast difference that there often is, though to be sure there should not be, between church membership and the Christian life, have turned and are turning, altogether too commonly for the peace of mind of the church of the living God, away from organized religious systems primarily and from any sort of religious observance at all. Gazing upon the hopeless insincerity of many Christians and the stupid indifference of many churches to the needs of society and the demands of the times, as contrasted with the beauty and the universal interest of the God-man and His Gospel, upon whose character and truth the Church is founded, men have misjudged Christianity by its misrepresenting 'fruitage', and, in numbers that annoy us, have turned from religion entirely. Contemplating the sins of individuals in the church, they have permitted their eyes to be withheld from the discernment of the truth that the personality and the pronunciamentes of Jesus Christ as the oracle of God are the leaven that most surely could transform their own lives and effect a transformation in the social order of which they are a part. Many bad men, with the determination not to know or to serve God under any conditions, utterly are neglectful of the claims of the religious life upon their higher natures. They turn from religion because they are willfully desirous to be the followers of the devil rather than the servants of God. Many men have turned from organized religion because of intellectual difficulties. Some of these have gone out of the church to follow the bent of their peculiar and personal religious conceptions and convictions; some have turned to philosophy and have deified man as sufficient unto himself; still others have to their entire satisfaction eliminated God from the scheme of things. In spite of the attitude of a host of men, however, a true religious life is as necessary to the welfare of humanity as are fresh air and pure food and the creature comforts that we desire, need and strive so persistently to secure. No man is well rounded; no man has realized the possibilities of manhood; no man is complete; no man is really alive until he is alive unto God. And no man has sounded the limits of the capacities of his own being until he has enjoyed a knowledge of the highest revelation of the character of God that is in the world to-day. A true religious life ought to appeal to every man first, because it is reasonable; secondly, because it is reasonable; thirdly, because it is ethically influential. The true religious life is reasonable. It does no damage to our good sense, and it commends itself to our judgment. It does not shock our ideas of the fitness of things. It satisfies our intellects. Man, in the wisdom of God, is an intelligent being; he possesses mental qualities that are fundamental in his make-up. Men must be convinced of the reasonableness of things before they can have any lasting hold upon them. That which is intellectually unsatisfying or that will not stand the tests applied by the minds of men, they reject. Man does not demand that he shall be able to exhaust every subject which comes under the province of his intellect, but he does demand that, whether or no he is able to, explain all the things in which, as a rational being, he holds an interest, he shall at least be able to discern in them the evidences of reasonableness. Religion appeals to the mind of man. Not because he is able to sound all the depths of religious philosophy or of religious truth or to explain all the manifold wonders of religious experience, but be there is in religion that which is intelligent and reasonable and satisfying. No religious system that is worthy of attention plus the respect of humanity for long unless it be first of all of no damage to the sense of the fitness of things. The true religious life commends itself to our best judgment and in the recognition of its imperatives we find rest and joy. The true religious life is transcendantly and delightfully real. It is not susceptible, perhaps, to arithmetical or geometrical demonstration. We are not able to prove it in its speculative and abstract phases by the terminology or the experiences of the senses altogether, but it is none the less real. Laying hold as it does upon the divine, is simply inexplicable in all its outreachings through the medium of finite speech. As true it is that tongue cannot tell of the glorious realities of the spiritual life as it is that the tongue has not yet told the fullness of the glories of that richer life that is yet to be. But though the tongue may be unable to explain it all or to reveal in finite language the infinite experiences of the spiritual life it is none the less real. The spiritual religious life is the result of experience. It is experience. It is just as exact and scientific in its way and just as experimental, mystical and abstract though it be, as any other scientific discipline. It cannot, of course, be demonstrated by the experiences of the physicist alone, or by the terminology of the geologist alone, or by the rules of the algebraic formulae. But it has its own laws. Its own characteristics may be scientifically tabulated. Its experiences may be classified. Its reality may be investigated and proven by any open-minded, open-hearted man who will place himself within the realm of its manifestations and permit himself to be moved upon by its influences. It is spiritually real. Then, too, the true religious life such as has been revealed unto us in Jesus Christ is ethically influential. It takes hold of the conduct of the man, and whereas he was before satisfied with lax and easy regulations for the ordering of his personal and social life, it leads him past all that is superficial and insufficient and less than wholly righteous, step by step into such a recognition of the claims of God and of humanity upon his life that he is soon satisfied with nothing but the best in manners and morals, and is continually testing himself by an increasing measure to find whether or no he is worthy of the approval of Almighty God, his King. The real religious life that was practiced by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is a life that is militant in the life of the man seven days a week. It is no week-end religion. It is a force from the first stroke of the midnight chime on Saturday night to the precise moment when another week having gone ringing down the grooves of the past the bells shall boom again another midnight note. It declares to men the reality of the divine authority and the insistence of human accountability to Him. It leads the soul into a larger recognition of the claims of personality and inspires humanity to square itself with the claims of society upon the individual life. The true religious life in Jesus is as vital in national affairs as it is in individual. We do not need in our times more churches or a larger organization. What we need most is that the present organization and the present churches shall make the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ to be felt and realized as a vital force in all departments of our national life. The true religious life is the medium whereby comfort, joy, hope and courage are mediated in divine fashion to the human soul. In no other life is comfort so satisfyingly given. In no other life is the joy that humanity so largely needs so truly ministered. Here is our highest hope. Here we drink deep of courage and are most endued for conflict against principalities and powers and panoplied effectually for the conquering of sin. The greatest mistake in the world is for a man to reject the privileges, the prerogatives, the appeals of the religious life. For the soul without God is not alive. Only in the consciousness of His reality and in willing subjection of self to Him do we live. The live man is the one who lives within God through the grace and love revealed and mediated in our Lord Jesus Christ. Every Road Leads to Jesus. A young man just starting upon his work in the ministry was one day talking to an aged minister in London, who had spent a lifetime in the service. The young man said, "You have a great deal of experience; you know many things that I ought to learn. Can't you give me advice to carry with me in my new duties?" "Yes, I can," was the response. "I will give you a piece of advice. You know that in every town in England, no matter how small, in every hamlet, though it be hidden in the folds of the mountains or wrapped round by the far-off sea, in every clump of farmhouses, you can find a road which, if you will follow it, will take you to London. Just so every text you shall choose to preach, from the Bible will have a road that leads to Jesus. Be sure you find that road and follow it; be careful not to miss it once. This is my advice to you." The Soul Winner's Equipment. Be filled with the Spirit. (Eph. 5:15.) This is the call to every Christian to be filled with the Spirit. That is what is needed to-day. Only those who are filled with the Spirit can be soul winners. To be filled is the privilege of all. Christians are known by their fruits. "Without Me ye can do nothing" (Jno. 15:5). It is as impossible to live the Christian life without the Holy Spirit as to live natural life without air. There must be an emptying of all else before there can be a real filling, Holiness must prevail. The little sins if tolerated will hinder the Spirit from having full sway. This is not only a privilege for every Christian, but a duty; for it is a command: "Be filled with the Spirit."—C. B. Styers. Drawing Men. The holiness of Christ did not awe men away from Him, nor repel them. It inspired them with hope. It was not that vulgar, unapproachable sanctity which makes men awkward in its presence, and stands aloof. Its peculiar characteristic was that it made men enamored of goodness. It "drew all men unto Him." This is the difference between greatness that is first rate and greatness which is second rate — between heavenly and earthly goodness. The second rate and earthly kind draws admiration on itself. You say, "How great an act—how good a man!" The first rate and the heavenly imparts itself—inspires a spirit. Story of God's Love.

France's Prime Minister. 1930 CLEMENCEAU IN FRONT OF HIS HENHOUSE, WHICH WAS SPECIALLY BUILT FOR HIM ON THE AMERICAN PLAN. An Armor For Deep-Sea Divers. A novel form of diver's apparatus, which we are told by the Scientific American promises to be of great value in salvage operations, has been invented by a Parisian hydrographic engineer named De Pluvy. Says the paper just named: "As De Pluvy has had many years' experience in diving operations there ready made with the new diving suit he reached depths varying from 15 to 500 feet. This far exceeds the depth to which an ordinary diver can go." Knife Polisher. Every woman welcomes the addition of little accessories which he can make to her household duties lighten Helmet and One Arm-Piece Removed. is no doubt that the apparatus is of practical value. He uses a metallic diving suit which is made somewhat on the plan of the ancient coat-of-armor, being built of light and strong sheet metal having a thickness varying from 0.2 to 0.3 inch according to the position of the pieces. The joints and coupling points are made of pressed leather and rubber, and a special form of hydraulic joint is employed. On the top of the armor is fixed the helmet, which is the principal feature of the apparatus. The air is not brought to the diver from the outside, as usual, but the air he breathes is sent by a tube into a special regenerating chamber containing certain chemical products which renew the supply of oxygen, and the air is then sent to the interior of the helmet by another tube. The air renewing apparatus is contained in a pair Ready for the Descent. of cylindrical chambers attached to each side of the helmet. Regulating valves keep the air pressure within the helmet at the right amount and always constant, no matter what the depth may be below the surface. Mounting and descending are effected by a drum and cable worked by an electric motor. At the same time the cable servos to carry the current which is needed for the respiratory apparatus. The diver communicates with the surface by a telephone, and a number of wires run from the arm up to a set of colored lamps, showing how the different parts are working. There are many advantages to be secured from the new apparatus, and we expect to give a more complete and illustrated description of this interesting device. Mr. De Pluvy has personally been able to go down to a great depth, and during the 115 descents which he has al- ready made with the new diving suit he reached depths varying from 150 to 300 feet. This far exceeds the depth to which an ordinary diver can go." Knife Polisher. Every woman welcomes the addition of little accessories which help to make her household duties lighter and less irksome. The daily polishing of the knives may be a small matter, but with the assistance of the knife polisher shown here it can be accomplished in one-quarter the time it ordinarily takes. This little kitchen appurtenance is made of sheet metal, bent to form a pair of parallel plates about an inch apart. One plate is longer than the other, and is attached to the edge of the table or in some other convenient position. Secured to the inside of the plates are pieces of flannel or similar cleaning material. After the knives have been washed and dried, to put on the THE PUBLIC LIFE Polishes Both Sides. finishing polish they are inserted between two pieces of flannel and given a slight rub back and forth. Incidentally, both sides of the knife are polished at the same time. The inventor is a Canadian.—Philadelphia Record. Needle Wrong. Ship Strikes. Captain William Hughs and six men, who made up the crew of the British barkentine Annie Lloyd, recently lost on Hogstyre Reef, in the Bahamas, arrived here on the steamship Prinz Eitel Friedrich of the Hamburg-American line's West Indian service. The seamen lost about everything they owned when the barkentine struck, on March 5, As an explanation of the Lloyd's grounding, it is believed that the compass was inaccurate, and that conditions are such in the neighborhood of this reef as to make it a particularly dangerous locality to navigate. Not only is the reef submerged at all tides, but it was pointed out by the judge-advocate of a court inquiry, held at Long Cay, the Bahamas, to investigate the wreck of the Lloyd, that a steamship loaded with steel rails was lost on this shoal, and that the remains of this wreck, lying on the rocks, have magnetic force enough to defect a compass—New York Commercial. Change in China. Kaleidoscopic bewildering change is the outstanding characteristic of the political prospect of China at the present time. "Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall" is, in the China of to-day, a thoroughly worldly wise and eminently practical piece of advice.—Shanghai Mercury. According to the most reliable reports thers are 262,000 Sunday schools in the world, with a total enrollment of 26,000,000 pupils. The pretty teacher was trying to explain the difference between good conduct and bad. "Good actions," she explained, "are the lovely flowers. Bad ones are the weeds. Now, can any little boy or girl tell me the difference between flowers and weeds? What are flowers? What are weeds?" "Weeds," said Walter, who had been struggling with the sorrel in his mother's garden, "are the plants that want to grow, and flowers are the ones that don't."-Youth's Companion. If You Read This It will be to learn that the leading medical writers and teachers of all the several schools of practice recommend, in the strongest terms possible, each and every ingredient entering into the composition of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for the cure of wells stomach, dyspepsia, catarrh of stomach, or complaint*, illiterate, illiterate, business, affections, and all catarrh diseases of whatever region, name or nature. It is also a specific remedy for all such chronic or long standing cases of catarrh affections and their resultants, as bronchial, throat and lung disease (except consumption) accompanied with severe coughs. It is especially efficacious in producing perfect cures. It contains Black Cherrybark, Golden Seal root, Bloodroot, Stone root, Mandrake root and Queen's root—all of which are highly praised as remedies for all the above mentioned affections by such authors as Robert Baldwin, Bartholow, of Jefferson Med. College; Prof. Hare of the Univ. of Pa.; Prof. Finley Blingingo, M. D., of Bennett Med. College; Chicago; Prof. John King, M. I. of Cincinnati; Prof. John M. Seudder, M. D., of Cincinnati; Prof. Edwin Highton, M. D., of Hainamm Med. College; Chicago; scores of others generally eminent in their several schools of practice. The "Golden Medical Discovery" is the only medicine put up for sale through druggists for like purposes that has any such professional endorsement—worth more than any number of ordinary institutional. Open publicity of its formula is the best possible guaranty of its merits. A glance at this published formula will show that no job in medical Discovery contains no position in the lab, in麻醉 drugs and no alcohol—chemically pure, triple-refined glycerine being used instead. Glycerine is entirely unobjectionable and besides is a most useful agent in the cure of all stomach as well as bronchial, throat and lung affections. There is the highest medical authority for its use in all such cases. The "Discovery" is a concentrated glyceric extract of native, medicinal roots and is safe and reliable, and the medical authorities endorse its patients mailed free on request. Address Dr. R. Y. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. BOY GOT NO SYMPATHY. Posed as Victim of a Bold Highway Robbery. A little, grimy urchin with a solitary newspaper under his arm walked along Riverside Drive asserting loudly that he had all the latest editions of the afternoon newspapers. That he was a tyro at hawking was evident from his garbling of the titles of the papers. Nevertheless he attracted the attention of a young matronwho was sitting on a bench trying to figure out where the fresh air bogan and the soft coal smoke of the starch factories of Weehawken left off. She beckoned to the boy, who darted across the path and held out his lone paper, all wrinkled and badly folded, and evidently the product of a forage along the drive. "Is that the only paper you have?" asked the young matron. "You must be lucky to have sold out so early," opening, as she spoke, a purse which was well filled with change. The boy's eyes glistened and his face underwent a transformation. From somewhere about his anatomy he produced a half-choked sob. "No, mum, I wasn't lucky," he said whimperingly. "Jus' as I wuz sellin' me paper a big boy came along an' took 'em from me—an—an—'he took all me money, too. I had fifteen cents in me pocket," making a rapid mental calculation as he surveyed the nest of dimes and nickels which the young matron was turning over, looking for a penny. "That's too bad," said the young matron. "Yessum. An' he said he'd kill me if I didn't give 'em all up. He—he—" "Why didn't you punch him?" asked the young woman, her eyes twinkling at the apparent prevarication. "If I were you I would have knocked his head off. You're not half a boy." And she handed the youngster a penny, to his evident disgust—New York Press Everything in the way of trouble comes to those who mate. CHANGE IN FOOD Works Wonders in Health. It is worth knowing that a change in food can cure dyspepsia. "I deem it my duty to let you know how Grape-Nuts food has cured me of indigestion. "I had been troubled with it for years, until last year my doctor recommended Grape-Nuts food to be used every morning. I followed instructions and now I am entirely well. "The whole family like Grape-Nuts, we use four packages a week. You are welcome to use this testimonial as you see fit." The reason this lady was helped by the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it is predigested by natural processes and therefore does not inx the stomach as the food she had been using; it also contains the elements required for building up the nervous system. If that part of the human body is in perfect working order, there can be no dyspepsia, for nervous energy represents the steam that drives the engine. When the neryous system is run down, the machinery of the body works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be used by small children as well as adults. It is perfectly cooked and ready for instant use.

To test milk dip a well polished knitting needle into a jug of milk and quickly withdraw it in an upright position. If the milk has only a small proportion of water this will prevent even a drop of milk adhering to the needle. 2 Cleaning Glass. A small paint brush with long, strong, supple bristles is the best thing with which to keep cut glass free of dust. It is the only means of reaching the dust which only lodges in the small carvings. To wash cut glass use borax in the water, and the result will be a sparkling, shining receptacle that will glisten as brilliantly as it did when new. If a cruet bottle has become stained with vinegar sediment, or a vase with sediment from flowers, or any other piece of glass which it is hard to reach into to wash, chop up a raw potato (peeled) and put it into the bottle with sufficient water or suds to just cover the potato; leave it for several hours, giving an occasional shaking; empty and rinse well; if necessary, repeat. Results will be pleasing.—Florida Agriculturist. To Clean the Chimney. Much of the trouble with chimneys filling up with soot may be avoided by burning the potato parings. The chemical action, is such that the soot is entirely cleaned out, so there is no danger of its becoming filled up, even when soft coal is used in the stove. Zine cut in small pieces and thrown into the stove or furnace when the fire is burning brightly also will have the same effect, and a handful used once in three or four weeks will keep the chimney clear and the draft good, no matter what fuel is used. Recently my kitchen range did not draw well, and the oven would not heat properly; so I placed a large handful of zinc scraps in the fire, and went outside to watch results. The smoke came out in clouds, and was very black, and in a short time the draft of the stove was perfect, and the oven soon become hot. The Meat-Chopper. The grater has a black eye in house-wifely foyer. In its place the meat-chopper has sprung into popularity. Many of the things for which the former was exclusively used are now done more quickly and with greater ease by the latter. The meat-chopper is a godsend to one woman, who makes chow-chow so appetizing that she is forced to do it by the job lot. Formerly she cut the different ingredients separately, until one day the brilliant idea struck her—why not put everything through the chopper? In went tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and pickles, one at a time, and all the former work of two days was done in a morning. Apples, pears and quinces for butters, are also put through the meat-chopper, with great saving of time and temper. Being cut much smaller, moreover, than they would otherwise be, they boil down more easily: All the juice from fruits prepared in this way must be carefully caught. The chopper itself should be scrupulously clean to remove all taste of meat. Boiling the parts in soda water insures perfect cleanliness. FOR THE EPIGURE Potato Griddle Cakes—Take one cup of flour, add one teaspoonful of baking powder and half a teaspoonful of salt and two large potatoes grated. Make into batter with half a cup of milk and fry on a hot, well greased griddle. Honey Sandwiches—Chop together English walnuts and ralsins in equal proportions. To each cup of this mixture add two tablespoons of honey and one of orange juice. Spread between lightly buttered slices of cream bread and cut into dainty shapes. To Cook Beets—Beets of late have been attacked by insects; therefore they must be examined leaf by leaf, and all which are infested rejected. Do not separate the roots from the leaves. Wash thoroughly in many waters. Put into a stewpan and cover generously with boiling water. Add a teaspoonful of salt for every two quarts of greens. Boll rapidly until tender. This will be about thirty minutes. Drain off the water, chop rather coarse, season with butter and salt. Caramel Custard—Four cups scalded milk, five eggs, one-half teaspoonful salt, one tablespoonful of vanilla. one-half cup sugar. Put sugar in omelet pan. Stir constantly over hot part of range until melted to a syrup of light brown color. Add gradually to milk, being careful that milk does not bubble up and go over, as is liable on account of high temperature of sugar. As soon as sugar is melted in milk, add mixture gradually to eggs slightly beaten; add salt and flavoring, then strain in buttered mould. Bake as custard. Chill, and serve with caramel sauce.—Boston Cultivator. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO 116 W. St. Julian Street. TEN years ago we had but few business houses, but to day it is different. We are proud of the large numbers which should be well patronized. Every voter and property tax payer should go immediately and make returns before the books close. Do this to save a double tax next fall. It is disgusting to see our men in those bar rooms with race division, looking verily like jim crows. The part allotted to them is generally the filthiest too. On some of the street cars one can often see a certain class of men and women with heads hanging down, being ashamed to look the man or woman they should be for pocketing their pride to accept jim crow fare. We have financial institutions, insurance companies, a dry goods and notions store, drug stores, a shoe store and numerous grocery stores tailoring establishments, etc. Now we want a first class gents' furnishing store, commission house, etc. THE TRIBUNE will continue to agitate for these enterprises and hope to have them established in the near future. LINCOLN PARK tinged with licentiousness and wantonness have been thrown open, and attractions to draw the thoughtless and giddy are given. Since the jim crow enforcement on the trolley cars, the respectable societies, etc., and individuals will not give picnics nor go out there. The place is now being patronized mainly by a class of young girls and boys whose parents should spank them well and keep them at home. A crusade should be made against this place, and especially if liquor is sold out there on Sunday or to minors. MANY of our ministers of the gospel might do the race a deal more good if at least one Sunday in the month might be taken to instruct and admonish their hearers in good morals and gentle manners in public places, such as street cars and railway trains. It is not known to many us just how much boorishness and rowdyism there is among us until we begin to ride the local trains that come into and go from our city. The great mass of Negroes are woefully lacking in good morals and gentle manners on the public highways and railway trains.—Atlanta Independent. In a small weekly sheet published by white men in this city, can be found paragraphs like these: "Why don't you give the white man the preference?" "What's the use of immigration when you won't hire your own white people?" "If you hire the white people wouldn't the colored man go back to the farm?" The above paragraphs speak for themselves. It shows that white men will look out for each other and will spread sentiment in that direction. If the white man with all of his riches and prestige find it necessary to make appeals for each other, does it not behoove the colored man to learn the lesson and put it in practice immediately in helping their own with a vim. As we can consistently, we should spend our money with our own people. MANY whose work is subject to the orders and wishes of others are unable to appreciate the importance of permitting their own ideas and theories to be subordinated to those in authority over them. It is the lack of this important trait in thousands of young men and women of the race that renders them and their work less desirable than others, and life to them is uncomfortable hardship. No class has so much to gain by attempting to cultivate the practice of obedience as do they. In every direction there is a visible tendency to discard Negro help, certainly this is an alarming condition, and that there is another and more potent cause than mere sentiment or race prejudice is equally evident to the close observer and student of the situation. The cause may be attributed to many apparently immaterial defects, but principally to an over sensitive nature a strong feeling of resentment of imaginary grievances, to a lack of reliability especially during certain seasons. It has long since been recognized that the lack of gentleness of character and a fine sense of personal responsibilities are largely responsible for many employing white help who would otherwise employ Negroes.

LAST Saturday at Darien junction, a colored man accidently killed a white man. He was arrested and lodged in jail at Darien. An armed mob from Tattnall county invaded the town on Monday, but by the prudence of the sheriff, the prisoner was taken to Brunswick for safe keeping and from there to this city. The sheriff in protecting his prisoner is to be commended for doing more than many others have done, but he and all others concerned failed utterly in the discharge of duty in not arresting the leaders of the mob who went to Darien in a manner to defy the law and commit murder. A similar mob of colored men would be characterized as rioters and treated as such. White law breakers should be treated the same as any other class of law breakers. Negro Made Knight for Bravery in Battle Amsterdam, April 20.—The Netherlands government has conferred a unique distinction on a Colored private named Pongo, of the colonial army, for conspicuous bravery in the field. Pongo was made a knight of the military order of William, which is equivalent to the British Victoria Cross. The motto of this order, which is held by only thirteen members of the Indian army, mostly officers of the high rank, is "For valor, ability and faithfulness." Years ago the Dutch authorities found it advisable to create a special token of reward for Colored soldiers. The red tape view was that a Negro might be valorous and faithful, but he could not officially claim military ability, so the colonial medal for natives bears the word's "For valor and faithfulness." only. Pongo is the first Negro to achieve the distinction of the full order. Daytona Notes. The long looked for rain has come to see us at last.

The grand rally of the First Congregational Church was held on last Sunday and was the largest of its kind ever held in the history of the church. Although the weather was very inclement, yet all the services of the day were well attended. At the special services in the afternoon, strong and inspiring addresses were delivered and excellent music was rendered. These services were very interesting and helpful and enjoyed by all. The Rev. J. J. Pearce, a missionary from South Africa was also present and delivered two very helpful sermons. When the time arrived for the reports to be made from the various circles and sections, everybody seemed to be in an expectant attitude because each leader was anxious to know what amount the others would report. At the close of the day the leaders with their sections and circles submitted the following report: Sec. No. 1, Mr Sol C. Johnson, leader $132.75. Sec. No. 2, Mr. C. G. Jordan, leader $91.25. Sec. No. 3, Mr. T. M. Holly, leader $127.35. Sec. No. 4, Mr. R. T. Spencer, leader $126.05. Sec. No. 5, Mr. E. B. Roberts, leader $113.50. Sec. No. 6, Mr. Geo. S. Williams, leader $130.00. Sec.

The young people of the Sunday School reported: Circle No. 1, Miss Oralene Harrison, leader $35,60. Additional contributions for the young people $27.50. The free will offerings of the day added to the above made the grand total of the rally $1,238.29. There are two of the sections that will still bring their amounts to the one hundred mark, and there will still be some additional donations and collections to be turned in before the rally closes. All the leaders with the able assistance of the members of the various sections and circles, and the friends of the church, did good work and deserve much commendation. The pressing obligations of the church will now be met and the church will be entirely freed of all indebtedness. The next step will be to make preparation for some needed improvements on the church edifice. The pastor Rev. W. L. Cash, desires to thank the members and friends of the church for their liberal support and donations in this effort. Closing Exercises. The Tennille High School, Tennille, Ga., of which Prof. J. A.

Many thousands of women have realized this too late to save their health, barely in time to save their lives. To be a successful wife, to retain the love and admiration of her husband, should be a woman's constant study. If a woman finds that her energies are flagging, that she gets easily tired, dark shadows appear under her eyes, she has backache, headache, bearing-down sensations, nervousness, irregularities or the "blues," she should start at once to build up her system by a tonic with specific powers, such as Lydia E.

There can be no question that men of regular habits are healthier, happier, live longer and do more than those who obey caprice and impulse. The adoption of hygienic habits saves the nervous system an enormous amount of friction and waste. It preserves vitality. Regularity economizes not only physical stamina, but time as well. The man who knows no system in the details of his life, who exhausts nature at the instance of a passing whim, who drinks and smokes to excess, who wastes the talents' bestowed upon him, is the one who must sooner or later fall a victim to disease. Regularity with moderation in all things should be the motto of life, and it should be remembered that regularity does not necessarily preclude the enjoyment of variety. A certain amount of variety prevents man from becoming a mere machine, but variety should not interfere with those regular habits of life which are necessary to the maintenance of health.—Pittsburg Press. Its Orlogin Unknown. What is the origin of the "cock and bull" story? It is the despair of all those who seek to explain this fine old crusted slang of long ago which has managed to persist into present speech, just as we may imagine our present 23 will puzzle a later generation. Brewer, in his "Phrase and Fable," explains it is a corruption of a "concocted and bully story." Evidently recognizing that this is scarcely satisfactory, he prosecuted his researches into bygone religions, dragged up Nergal from the Phoeniclans in the representation of a rooster and from the Egyptian Osiris, typified by a bull. From all of which disquisitions it is as clear as may be that no one really knows anything about the story of a cock and a bull. The French have a precisely similar expression in coga-a-lane, and equally they do not know its origin—New York Sun. SULPHUR BRINGS HEALTH Purifies the Blood and Clears Up the Complexion.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.

The prophet Mahomet was a great man, in his way, but, like nearly all the priests of ancient times, he was not above practicing tricks to gain and hold the confidence of his followers. You have all hear of his dove, which would sit on his shoulder and seem to be talking in his ear. Mahomet claimed that the Holy Ghost took the form of the bird to give him inspiration, but the truth is that the wily prophet had taught the dove to eat wheat out of his ear.—Chicago News.

FUTILITY OF PHILANTHROPY. By Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes. I sometimes think that it would be a good thing if this whole philanthropic system could be swept out of existence, because it blinds people to the real issues. It is not true philanthropy. Philanthropy is love of man, and it is not love of man to take from him what is his, and then, when he is lying robbed and wounded upon the Jericho road, to put him on a beast and take him to a soup kitchen. There is little use in trying to relieve poverty while we are creating it. Just so long as we go on leaving men and women on the Jericho road we will have these problems. It is a curious psychological fact that people should want to relieve distress while they are careless about what they do to create it. Not long ago Mr. Stokes refused to become trustee for a vast estate. He told the two men who tried to persuade him to accept the trust that if he did he would feel bound to see that those who created that wealth received it again. He didn't think that the dividends mattered. Now, these two men are very philanthropic. They believe that they are so, and others believe it of them. But they were very much surprised and hurt at this attitude. They told Mr. Stokes that it was not at all his business how the dividends were produced. His only concern was to see that those who intrusted him with the estate received them, and finally they sald, as if concluding the whole matter: "Our duty is to God and not to the workers." This attitude is very common among the sustainers of great philanthropies and churches. They do not see that taking dividends is taking from the worker. They live in luxury, denying themselves nothing, and what they have to spare they give in philanthropy. They do not see that they are working at the wrong end, that poverty can be cured only by doing justice and seeing that those who create wealth get it and that all help to create it. The care of the public health is the subject in which you are particularly interested, and sickness is one of the greatest of our problems under the present social system. Most of our treatment of it is merely on the surface. Only a few forces are trying to remove the cause. There is a section of our city known as the lung block. Many efforts have been made to have it torn down and replaced by a park, but nothing can be done because the proposition touches vested interests. Even the priest of a nearby church objects because it would remove his flock. To be sure, death removes them anyway, but he doesn't seem to think of that. Many of our workshops are so bad that if people don't get tuberculosis in them they get something else. It is inevitable. Recently, in Philadelphia, I met in a settlement which he himself sustained a wealthy mill owner. He employed 1200 girls, and he was much concerned over the way they dropped off and died. It was terrible to see, but he didn't know how to help it. He said they came to him well and rosy, but in six months or a year they grew pale and thin, and after dropping out and returning to work a few times they died of tuberculosis. I expressed surprise that he couldn't find a way to prevent this, but he explained that he couldn't ventilate the weaving rooms, because the dust from the colored fabrics blew onto the white ones and marred their purity. I thought that human beings were more important than cloth, and if his heart hadn't been hardened by business he would have thought so, too; but it didn't seem to me necessary even to sacrifice the cloth. He might have woven the different colors in different rooms. That would have necessitated more supervision and more expense, and perhaps wouldn't have left him any money for philanthropy. This man really wanted to be philanthropic, but couldn't see that he was responsible for the killing of hundreds of girls. And yet I do not blame him or any individual. I blame the competitive system back of it all. Our Voices Deepen. The primitive inhabitants of Europe were all tenors; their descendants of the present time are baritones, and future generations will have semi-bass voices. The voice has a tendency to deepen with age. The tenor of twenty becomes the baritone of twenty-eight and the bass of thirty-six. The inferior faces have higher pitched voices than the more cultured. The negro has a higher voice than the white man. Among white races the fair complexion man has a higher voice than his darker skinned brother. The former is usually a baritone or a tenor, the latter a contralto or bass. It is asserted that tenors are usually of slender build, whereas basses are stout, but there are too many exceptions to such a rule for it to be reliable. The same remark applies to the statement that thoughtful men have deep-toned voices and vice versa. The tones of a voice are perceptibly higher before than after meal, for which reason tenors are generally careful not to sing too soon after dinner.—Pcarson's Weekly. Overdoing.

Sterling, Ky. writes: "I have suffered with kidney an bladder trouble for ten years past. "Last March I commenced using Peruna and continued for three months. I have not used it since, nor have I felt a pain. "I believe that I am well and I therefore give my highest commendation to the curative qualities of Peruna." Pe-ru-na For Kidney Trouble. Mrs. Geo. H. Sißser, Grant, Ontario, Can., writes: "I had not lain well for about four years. I had kidney trouble, and, in fact, felt badly nearly at the time. This summer I got so very bad I thought I should dry Peruna as I wrote to you and began at once to Peruna and Manalin. "I took only two bottles of Peruna and one of Manjalm, and now I feel better than I have for some time. "I feel that Peruna and Manalin cured me and made a different woman of me altogether. I bless the day I picked up the little book and read of your Peruna." It is the business of the kidneys to remove from the blood all potionous materials. They must be active at the time, else the system suffers. There are times when they need a little assistance. Peruna is exactly this sort of a remedy. It has saved many people from disaster by rendering the kidneys service at a time when they were not able to bear their own burdens. The Cargo of the Lyonesse.

In one place in Egypt there is an immense pyramid in which are buried the sacred bulls of the Egyptians. This ponderous tomb is divided into separate alcoves, in which are solid granite sarcophagi containing the bodies of the bulls. Some years ago this pyramid was entered, and an attempt to move the sarcophagi was made. It took a host of men with modern appliances three weeks to move one of these granite coffins 150 feet. Parrot pie is one of the delicacies over which visitors to Australia rave.

They are said to be more succulent than pigeons and altogether superior to the palate. A man with an inflammable nose recently created excitement on the Boulevard St. Michel, Paris. He was lighting a cigarette when his nose became suddenly ignited, and it and his beard were soon on fire. The man jumped about in great pain, and was carried through a horrified crowd to a druggist's shop, where the blaze was extinguished. It was then found that he had a celluloid nibse. The real nasal organ had gone under in a street fight and he went to a flesh patcher for an artificial nose. He had been supplied with one of celluloid instead of horn, hence his mishap. JUST LIKE A WOMAN. She Was Not Dressed Because She Had Dressed Him. "It's just seven o'clock," said Squibob, "and so you have plenty of time to dress yourself carefully for the theatre.

By the way, where are my things?" "Here they are." "Put the shirt studs in one, will you? And—er—by the way, this dress suit is rather rumpled. I must have tossed it about in the drawer. You are rather handy at those things, Henrietta; can't you press it into some sort of shape?" "All right, dear." "And while you are at it fix the pearls in my shirt front. Goodness! I wish you'd chase up my cuff links." Mrs. Squibob flew around with deft and willing hands, gathered the masculine apparel together, while Squibob calmly dressed himself in the intervals of his rapid-fire directions. "Got my top hat?" he asked. "Good. Now please fix my necktie, and—why—er—er—" Squibob gasped in surprise, looked at the clock hands, which pointed to eight, and then surveyed the flurried little woman.

MONREU DRUG CO., Unionville, Missouri You Look Prematurely Old BORAX IN THE DAIRY A Matter of Profitable Interest to the Farmer and Dairyman. A few years ago most anything "went" for milk or cream or butter so long as it came originally from a cow. Now things are changed. The public realizes, the dairyman realizes and the farmer realizes that there is just as much difference, between milk from sweet utensils and milk from "stale" utensils as there is between milk, and chalk and water. The problem of keeping sweet all the utensils used in connection with milk and cream selling, and butter making, has been a serious one with the farmer. He has come to realize fully that the slightest taint or hint of staleness left in a can, tin or churn may ruin a whole output; that the taint which is left is in the form of bacteria which grow and multiply in milk or butter, producing disastrous results. The farmer has learned that hot water won't rinse away the greasy residue in dairy utensils. He has learned that soap leaves a residue of its own which is, if anything, worse than the milk or cream residue, and it is little wonder that there has been a constant clamor for a dairy cleanser and sweetener that will meet modern requirements. A few of the largest creamery establishments have called experts into consultation on this problem and have with this scientific aid hit upon a product of nature which exactly fills the bill—boreax. Scientists have long known borax as a cleanser, a sweetener and an antiseptic destroyer of bacteria and germ growths. Destroys all that is harmful and promotes and preserves freshness, sweetness and purity, relieving the dairyman and dairy housewife of drudgery and of needless work and worry. Its cheapness and value should give it first place in the necessities of every dairy. The cow's udder is kept in a clean, healthy and smooth condition by washing it with borax and water, a tablespoonful of borax to two quarts of water. This prevents roughness and soreness or cracked leats, which make milking time a dread to the cow and a worry to the milker. The modern cleanser of all dairy utensils consists of—one tablespoonful of borax to every quart of water needed. Remember—a tablespoonful equals four teaspoonfuls. Be sure that you get pure borax. To be sure, you must get "20 Mule Team Borax." If you are unable to get the "Mule Team" brand send us your dealer's name and we will arrange to supply you. Send for booklet.

Since then we have used nothing but Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now the baby is six months old and is quite cured.

Dr. Prager, a Vienna army surgeon, who has made a special study of methods of identification, recommends identification by the shape of the palate. He maintains that it is far more efficacious than finger tip identification. The structural materials testing of the U. S. Geological Survey is supported by an appropriation of $100,000 made by Congress at its recent session after this item had been cut out of the Sundry Civil bill in committee. This appropriation assured the continuance of the work at St. Louis until June 30, 1908. Cremation in Great Britain in 1906 numbered 724 bodies, as compared with 604 in 1905, according to a report by Consul F. W. Mahin, of Nottingham, England. Municipal crematories are in existence at Leicester, Hull, Leeds, Hilford, Bradford and Sheffield, in addition to a number elsewhere privately owned. An interesting demonstration was given at a recent exhibition of physical instruments in London of the fact that an intimate connection exists between the magnitude of the details visible in a microscope and the color of the light used for illuminating the object. When the shorter light-waves, those toward the blue end of the spectrum, are employed, smaller details can be seen than when the light comes from the region of longer waves, toward the yellow and red end of the spectrum. Microscope manufacturers have taken advantage of this fact by producing an apparatus with which the stage can be illuminated at will by light emanating from any chosen portion of the spectrum. SHAPING HAT BRIMS. Skill and Experience Required For the Style of Silk Hats. The nail on his right forefinger was long, yellow, horny and the fingertip had so thickened and hardened that it seemed to be covered with pale leather. He was a silk hat maker, and it was from curling hat brims that his finger had changed so strangely. Describing the processes of a silk hat's manufacture, he said: "The belief that cardboard forms a silk hat's foundation is an error. The hat is first built up of various thicknesses of linen—layers of linen soaked in shellac that, by means of wooden moulds and hot irons weighing twenty pounds apiece are welded one on the other, till a perfect shape, brim and all complete, is obtained. "The silk is next put on. This silk costs from $10 to $15 a yard. It looks like plush in the piece. The hatmaker cuts it on the bias and moulds it round the stiff linen foundation. The strips must be very accurately cut, and great care is needed in their ironing and cementing so as to give a perfect diagonal joint. Look at your silk hat's seam the next time you wear it. The joint's perfection will perhaps amaze you. "The brim, up to this point, is flat. Now its curling commences. This is where my queer forefinger comes in. The shaping of a hat brim is purely a matter of hand and eye and taste. The brim, while being shaped, is highly heated so as to give it pliability. "And, of course, working on this hot material, patting and prodding it, the forefinger thickens and the nail gets horny. "Nevertheless, hat curling is pleasant, artistic work. Hat curlers have reputations the same as artists. Their work is distinctive. An expert can tell it at a glance."—Philadelphia Bulletin. By-Products of Massachusetts Farms. New England farmers have found that they can add somewhat to their incomes by the harvesting of rather unusual crops. In Western Massachusetts each fall the farmers, who clear their land of brush, supply the local mills with hundreds of tons of witch-hazel branches, from which, in the district about Chester, Mass., 990 barrels of extract were produced last year. The price paid the farmers is from $2 to $3 a ton. Black-birch brush is gathered for distilling a valuable substitute for oil of wintergreen. For this brush, which the farmers formerly burned in clearing their land, they are now paled $3.50 a ton. Last season 1558 tons were used, from nearly 6000 pounds of oil were obtained. Only experts, it is said, can distinguish this product from the genuine oil, of wintergreen, and it is in great demand by druggists and confectioners, the local manufacturers obtaining it for $2 a pound wholesale. It is used in rheumatic medicines and as a flavoring extract for birch beer Medicinal oil is distilled from sweet fern, which grows in great abundance on the rocky hillsides of Western Massachusetts. Its properties are said to be similar to those of witch-hazel, while its odor is more pleasant.-Lestile's Weekly. FARMERS OPPOSED To the Immigration Movement in State of Georgia. UNION GOES ON RECORD Strong Resolutions Adopted at Meet ing in Atlanta—Cotton School is Established, and Warehouse The Farmers' Educational and Co- Operative Union of Georgia met in the legislative hall at the state capitol in Atlanta Wednesday. It was a call meeting, but practically every county in the state was represented. It was definitely decided to have a cotton school, the purpose of which will be to teach interested parties how to judge and price cotton. The officers of the association—President R. F. Duckworth, Secretary J. L. Barron, Organizer J. L. Lee, Business Agent J. G. Eubanks and Lecturer G. M. Davls—were appointed as a board of managers to take charge of the school. All of these are from Barnesville, where the school will be in session. A committee on the school, representing the various congressional districts was named. A warehouse committee was also chosen. The purpose of the warehouse committee is to report to the convention the result of the effort to establish a uniform system of warehouses over the state to be owned and controlled by the Farmers' Union. The convention went on record as opposing the immigration movement by passing unanimously the following set of resolutions: "Whereas, steamship companies of most all nationalities, for the sole purpose of making money, have their paid agents soliciting immigration to this country regardless of morals, political consideration or religious faith, and, "Whereas, said immigrants are now landing on Ellis Island, New York, at the rate of nearly half million a year and are only now limited by the capacity of the steamship companies, and, "Whereas, the register shows that immigrants landing in this country since 1880, as a rule, are non-Christian and differ with the American in government, religious belief and morality, and, "Whereas, as we find a disposition on the part of some of our fellow citizens to increase, invite and induce said immigrants to this state, and, "Whereas, history shows that through the ages men have often set in motion events which once started they could not control, therefore be it "Resolved, That we, the Farmers' Educational and Co-Operative Union of Georgia, assembled in convention at Atlanta, Ga., May 15, 1997, do oppose the further introduction of immigrants to this good heritage of ours in any form or, by any means by the state of Georgia, believing it will be detrimental to the general welfare of the people of our state. "Resolved, second, That we most respectfully ask our legislature that is to meet in June not to appropriate one cent of the state's money to encourage immigration to this state without referring same to the people. "Resolved, third, That we most respectfully ask our members of the general assembly of Georgia and our senators and members in congress from this great state of Georgia to do all in their power to restrain the tide of immigration to these United States as a primary step to the perpetuation of a pure government. "Resolved, fourth. That we have an abiding faith in the great intelligent white people of Georgia and the south to so direct our domestic affairs with our present citizenship and our natural increase to manage our agricultural and industrial affairs to meet the legitimate demands of our country without the aid of immigration." . "WILD BILL" IN LIMBO. Noted eGorgia Illicit Distiller Flusbed by Officers. Charles T. Williams, the mah who has trumped the state of Georgia, as an illicit distiller for many years under the assumed name of "Wild Bill" Williams, was run down near Eastman Tuesday night by United States Deputy Marshal R. L. DeLoach. The officer had company when he found "Wild Bill," but there was no resistance. Three indictments await Williams. He was placed in the Macon jail in default of a bond fixed at $1,000. DECISION IN "JIM CROW" CASE. Hart Gets One Cent Damages Against Railroad Company. In the case of W. H. Hart against the Pennsylvania Railroad company, a jhry in the supreme court of the District of Columbia brought in a verdict for 1 cent damages. Hart, who, it was claimed, was a negro, was ejected from a train in Maryland in 1904, and placed in jail at Ellicton on the charge of violating the Jim crow law. RUEF PLEADS GUILTY. San Francisco Political "Boss" Makes Tearful Confession in Court. Wants to Lead Better Life. Abraham Ruef, nervous and pallid, in Judge Dunne's court at San Francisco Wednesday pleaded guilty to the crime of extortion, the felony charge for which he was to be been tried by the jury already selected. In pleading guilty he made an impressive address to the judge, stating that he had commenced his career in politics with high ideals, for himself, and for the city, but that conditions had broken him down and he desired only an opportunity to make reparation and restore his character before the world. As he concluded his address he fell back into his chair almost fainting and the tears flowed down his cheeks. During an interview following the scene in court, Ruef confessed that he is guilty of having connived in the corruption in municipal affairs, but he denied that he is guilty of the crime of extortion charged against him. "I have made no confession. I know much. Some thing I shall tell, some things I shall not tell. "I will not say at the present moment that Mayor Schmitz is guilty of the charges that have been brought against him or that he is innocent. I will say this; I wanted to break away from Schmitz before his re-election, a year ago last November, and said to him: 'I am sick of the whole thing and I want to get out.' "I can't stand for all these labor union bums you have gathered around you and will appoint. They would cut the paint off a house." In answer the mayor begged me to stay with him and put up the argument that these fellows must be allowed their share or we could never hold the machine together. "I stayed with Schmitz and I stayed with the machine that I at great labor and palms had built up. I round then that I had taken a step away from the high and clean ideals, with which I honestly assure you I originally entered the political field. I found, in short, that to hold this machine together, I had to permit and connive at corruption. In the state of affairs existing it was necessary. But I myself never asked a dollar of any man and never took a dishonest dollar from the public; the things that I did were the things that hurt no one." * ROOSEVELT "BUTTED IN" Declaers Attorney for Haywood -First Wrangle of Trial. A special from Boise, Idaho, says: The unexpected uncovering of a vein of prejudice against Harry Orchard and his testimony during the further examination of talesmen in the trial of William D. Haywood, for complicity in the murder of former Governor Frank Steuenberg, Wednesday, led to the first sharp wrangle between counsel and involved the name of President Roosevelt in an acrimonious discussion. The question came up at the afternoon session when Senator Borah asked Talesman William McGuffie, who had been rejected for implied bias on the testimony of R. C. Lovelace, the first witness called, who swore that McGuffie told him that Haywood, Moyer and Pettibone would not have been brought here if "tthey had not been mixed up in the case," whether he (McGuffie) would give credence to Orchard's testimony. Clarence S. Darrow of the defense objected to the question and Senator Dorah replied: "After the immense latitude the defense has taken in regard to Taft and Roosevelt, I do not think they would stick on any technically at this time." "We did not ask as to the effect of Orchard's testimony," said Darrow and Richardson together. "If Roosevelt is to be brought here to testify, we might have something more to say," went on Richardson. "Roosevelt can take care of himself, wherever he is," retorted Borah. "Well, I don't know about that," said Darrow. Judge Woods directed counsel to proceed with the case, but Darrow took formal exception to the remarks of Borah. "I will eliminate Roosevelt, if you will," replied Borah. "He was brought into the case by the defense." "He came in himself," said Richardson. "He was 2,000 miles away and he writes letters." "He was brought in by his own butting in," added Darrow. Much difficulty is being experienced in securing a jury, as no one seems anxious to serve. Counsel for the defense and prosecution admitted Wednesday morning that the chances for retaining more than three or four of the talesmen so far examined and passed for cause was extremely small. ASHEVILLE IS CHOSEN As Place of Meeting of Next General Conference of Methodists. The next general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, will be held at Asheville, N. C., in 1910. Such was the decision reached at Nashville Wednesday by the special committee to decide the matter appointed at the last general conference in Birmingham, Ala. Georgia Cullings Georgia Cullings Curtailed Items of Interest Gathered at Random. Every now and then some person locates a tract of land, especially in south Georgia, that seems to belong to no one, and it is immediately made the subject of a headright grant, under the old land grant laws of the state, which are still in force. Secretary Cook has just issued two headright grants for land in Effingham county, one to Angus L. Nease for 95 acres, and another to John R. Nease for 70 acres. These headright grants now average some fifteen to twenty every year. Lot of Cotton Brings 12 Cents Three hundred and thirty bales of unusually fine cotton were sold in one lot at Americus a few days ago to B. F. Boone, representing Ford & Ca. of Macon, for the round price of 12 cents, the record price this season. The entire lot belonged to W. P. Jowers, a wealthy farmer, and represented two entire cotton crops from his plantation. Another lot of 100 bales belonging to other parties was bought by F. B. Arthur at 10 cents. These sales cleared practically the Americus warehouse. Gordon Statue Arrives. The Borgium equestrian statue of Gen. John B. Gordon reached Atlanta via the Southern railroad a few days ago. The car containing the statue was delivered by the Brooklyn casting concern to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad about ten days ago. At Washington it was delivered to the Southern railroad, both lines using diligence to expedite its handling. Work on the pedestal on the capitol grounds is progressing satisfactorily, and the contractors state that it will be ready in advance of the unveiling ceremony, May 25. --- No Hurry About Jamestown Exhibits. State School Commissioner Merritt has just been notified that, owing to a strike of the plasterers and other setbacks, the educational building at the Jamestown exposition is still far from complete, and it is not now known just when it will be completed. For this reason there is as yet no available space for educational exhibits at the exposition, and those schools in Georgia which contemplate making such exhibits need not be in any undue hurry to get them in. It is presumed that something definite will be known within the next few weeks, at which time, no doubt, due notice will be given. ```markdown ``` Important Notice. To Surviving Members of Doles Cook Brigade: Capt. Wm. M. Myers, commanding Richmond Howitzers, Richmond, Va., has kindly tendered this association space in their armory, at Richmond, for our use as a headquarters while attending the reunion in that city from May 31st to June 3d, 1907. The armory is located in the center of town and four blocks from the principal street car lines. All members of the association are requested to report at the headquarters herein, described immediately on arrival at Richmond. Look for notice on the bulletin board as to date and time of our regular meeting. Yours truly, W. W. HULBERT, Commander. New Railroad Organized. It now begins to look as if the Savannah and Southwestern railroad, for which a charter was recently secured, is to be built. At a meeting in Savannah a few days ago of those interested in the new road the officers of the company were elected and the first payment on the stock was called for. It is proposed to extend this line from Savannah to St. Andrews Bay, on the Gulf of Mexico. It will pass through many towns and counties that are now without railroads and will open up a new section of country. There are good men behind the move. It is expected to begin the survey in a short time and safety that is completed it is expected that the actual work of construction will begin. The line will be four hundred miles in length. Governor-Elect Talks of Immigrants. Gov-elect Hoke Smith makes the statement that, after his investigation of the immigration question in Europe, from, whence he has just returned, he has come to the conclusion, that immigrants should come from Austria and southern Russia. He said: "In Germany I was impressed with the perfect organization and the absence of soridl poverty. During my stay there I never saw a mendicant and was never solicited for alms. "In Austria there is no industrial development, and the country seems dead. I found the place where we want to find our immigrants—Austria and southern Russia—the pure strain of Teuton who wants to move. They are solid, clean, industrious people and will make the most desirable citizens we can have." Bundrick Case Without Parallel. George W. Bundrick, who was con- victed of murder at the spring term of Crisp county superior court, and who escaped from the American jail last December while waiting on a respite, and who gave himself up in California, has just been resentenced by Judge Littlejohn at Cordele to be banged on June 11th. It will be remembered that George and his brother, Andrew Bundrick, were convicted for the murder of John Shrouder four years ago. Andrew is serving a life sentence in the penitentiary, and it is thought that attorneys for George will appeal to the governor to commute his sentence to life imprisonment. Perhaps there is not a case on record where a man condemned to death and who had escaped to far-off California, has peacefully given himself up, wishing to return home and meet his fate. New Officers of Knights Templars. The Grand Commandery of Knights Templars for the state of Georgia at their 46th annual conclave in Atlanta the past week elected officers as follows: John R. Dickey, Atlanta, grand commander. L. P. Stephens, Atlanta, deputy grand commander. A. B. Simmons, Savannah, grand generalssimo. J. C. Greenfield, Atlanta, grand captain general. George C. Case, Milledgeville, grand senior warden. F. F. Petri, Columbus, grand junior warden. Thomas Burry, Gainesville, grand prelate. M. A. Weir, Macon, grand treasurer. W. S. Rockwell, Savannah, grand recorder. A. G. Miller, Americus, grand standard bearer. W. F. W斗lo, Augusta, grand sword bearer. Without exception the Knights declare that the conclave in Atlanta was one of the most enjoyable in the history of the order. The next conclave will be held at Valdosta in May next Masonic Column. I feel constrained to pen a line upon a subject that must be apparent to all of our brethren and this is consistency of friendship as taught by all the lessons in Freemasonry. Too often our prejudices rule our passions for ill, and we forget that one of the lessons that Masonry teaches is to think better of the world in which we live, and especially of our brethren, and so to value the one as to think it worth while to try and make it nobler and better, and the other as to never be willing to have the bonds of friendship broken. One good friend or one true Masonic brother is not to be weighed against the jewels of earth. If there comes a coolness or unkindness between you and a brother do not revile him behind his back, but come face to face and have an explanation. Come together quickly before love grows cold. Clasp hands and let the past be forgotten, for a friend or brother is too precious to be lightly thrown away—Pastmaster R. L. Newsome, in Georgia Baptist. "God is a perfect geometrician.

He applies the plumbline to our lives that they may be regulated by God's standard of right and wrong.—Exchange. The Superiority of Freemasonry. What order can compare with it? Behold the many worthy orders of our time! Examine their claims and professions; inspect their principles and practices; understand their purposes and objects; compass their ends and their means, and then tell us, useful and worthy though they be, if they can approach that ancient and honorable fraternity whose halls are dedicated to Masonry, virtue and benevolence; whose three great tenets are brotherly love, relief and truth; whose four cardinal virtues are fortitude, prudence, temperance and justice; which fosters literature and art; and has ever been the friends of science, even when ecclesiasticism was its relentless foe; which teaches its members to subdue the passions and restrain their desires, to keep a tongue of good report, to respect themselves and reverence their Creator, to cherish faith, indulge hope and practice charity, and whose deeds are vocal in all lands which extol the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. Search history, medieval and ancient; magnify the Star and Garter, the Iron Crown, the Golden Fleece and Roman Eagle, and yet how poor their annals in the great book of humanity when compared with the record of that fraternity, which in all history has been the apostle of liberty, the defender of the oppressed, the advocate of peace, the bulwark of law and order, the friend of progress and reform and the champion of chastity and virtue; which never turned a rack or fired a fagot; which never trained a gladiator of made a martyr! Freemasonry is not religion, and yet inculcates religious thought and sentiment and duty; still less is it theology, though it has a creed. It is not a political organization, though bigoted tyranny has often sought to destroy it, and politicians through its lodges for favor and influence. It is not a reform school for adults, though it is ever striving to make men nobler, better, manlier. It is not a mutual ald society, though ever ministering to the wants and needs of mankind, doing good unto all, especially the widows and orphans and the worthy distressed. It is not a school of philosophy, though it teaches and favors art, science and literature—Ex. The Royal Grand Matrons of the O. of E. S. of Georgia. Mrs. Viola E. Hart visited our chapter April 18, 1907, and was heartily received by the members with the grand honors, and was given all the time she wanted to speak and she gave us one of the best lectures ever heard from a woman. Mrs. Hart is truly a great woman, who is doing much good for the order and for the uplifting of our people. Friday morning, the 19th, in spite of the inclement weather, the writer and the R. G. M. were up early and on our journey to Woodbind Chapter. After riding about ten miles through the country, we arrived at the lodge room and were greeted by a number of ladies, who were there waiting our arrival and were given a grand reception. After conferring the Matron's Administrative Degree upon five Past Patrons and Matrons, then we listened to one of the grandest lectures ever heard from our R. G. M., and then Rev. A. R. Starling was asked to say a few words, which he did, to the delight of all. The good people of Woolbind chapter know-how to make it pleasant for visitors. Respectfully yours for the good of the order. STATESBORO DOTS The quarterly conference that was held at St. Mary's M. E.

The greatest assemblage of music lovers ever seen in a southern city is expected in Atlanta May 29, 30, 31 and June 1, when the May-June Music Festival will open. The very low prices which will be charged for the festival—the season tickets selling for $3, $4 and $5—and the high prices paid the artists—$10,000 will be spent by the festival management—in addition to the reduced fare offered by the railroads, make an opportunity that is being taken advantage of. There will be twelve artists in all, a chorus of 200, and a special children's chorus of 420, the latter the largest ever seen on any stage. The three leading artists are Madame Schumann-Heink, Miss Bessie Abott and Giuseppe Campanari, all of the Metropolitan opera house in New York. Claude Cunningham, a baritone of rare voice quality, will sing at the festival. There will be a 'cello and violin soloist, two tenors and other sopranus and contralto. The festival will be given at the St. Nicholas auditorium at Ponce de Leon. This great building, whose acoustics are second only to the Mormon tabernacle in Salt Lake City, seats 3,400 people exclusive of the boxes, of which there will be 48. The stage will be elevated and arches of electric lights will give brilliance to the scene. The most recent acquisition to the corps of festival artists is Madame Marguerite Wunderle, who plays the harp. She was for several years with Thomas' famous orchestra, and now holds the same position with Pauer's Pittsburg orchestra. She will play with the orchestra of fifty, and at the mallene performance will be heard in solo parts. There is no disputing the frank declaration of some railways that they can make the service bad enough to correspond to any reduction of fares, asserts the Washington Star. CLIMAXTO SCANDAL Steel Magnate Corey Weds "Butterfly" Actress. Faithful Wife of His Youth, Who Helped Him in His Rise to Fortune, Was Discarded Through Handy Divorce Court. A New York special says: In order to escape the unlucky thirteenth of the month, William Ellis Corey president of the United States Steel Corporation, and Mabelle Gilman, the former actress, were not married until after midnight Tuesday morning. The ceremony took place in the royal suite at the Hotel Gotham, Fifth avenue and Fifty-fifth street, in the presence of a small party of friends of the contracting couple. There was no music during the evening, and there were no bridesmales, Miss Gilman being attended only by Miss Frances Erskine Shaw of London. Mr. Corey was unattended. After the nuptials the pair took an automobile and were whirled away to Hoboken, where they boarded the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II, which sailed at 7:30 o'clock Tuesday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Corey will proceed to Paris and will then go to the Chateau Genls, 25 miles from Paris, where the honeymoon will be passed. They expect to remain there until they return to America, about the middle of July. The wedding of W. E. Corey and Mabelle Gilman is the culmination of a scandal that has filled the newspapers for many months. In order to prepare to marry the actress Corey deserted his wife and forced her to get divorce from him. Corey married his first wife when he was a struggling day laborer in the steel mills at Pittsburg. She bore him children and they lived happily during Corey's rise to wealth and power until he saw Mabelle Gilman on the stage. Then Corey discovered that the wife of his youth was not suited to him and began that ardent pursuit of the shapely actress which resulted in the divorce of his wife and his wedding Miss Gilman. Corey's conduct was bitterly denounced by his mother, father, sisters and uncles. Two days ago the uncle for whom Corey is named said that the wedding of Corey and Mabelle Gilman would bring its own punishment. It is estimated that Corey has spent $4,000,000... in acquiring Mabelle Gilman. About $3,000,000 of this sum went to his wife and children. He has recently settled a fine estate on his aged parents in the hope that it would lessen their opposition to his wedding the actress. Although Mabelle Gilman has declared that C. B. Gilman, living in San Francisco, is not her father, he sent the following telegram to her: "Accept a father's blessing for happiness and a long married life. Live up to Christian Science." The message was addressed to W. E. Corey and Mabelle Gilman, Hotel Gotham, New York. YOUNG GIRL IS DEAD As Result of Assault by Negro Ed Johnson of Chattanooga. Miss Navada Taylor, the Chattanooga, girl who was criminally assaulted by Ed Johnson, a negro, on January 28, 1906, and for which crime the negro was lynched by a mob, died Sunday night at her childhood home in Findlay Ohio, of nervous trouble, superinduced by the awful crime. The case has become celebrated since the supreme court of the United States now has Sheriff Shipp, several deputies and alleged members of the mob under the charge of contempt as a result of the lynching. WON'T RECOGNIZE UNION. Obstacle in Way of Settlement of Strike in Frisco. Despite the efforts of the citizens' committee, the settlement of the street railroad strike in San Francisco seems as far off as ever. The United railroad officials decline positively to recognize the Car Men's Union on the ground that it went out of existence when the company discharged its employees for disobeying the order to appear for work at the car barns on the first day of the strike. · GIRL GETS; BIG HUBBY.
