Congressman Edwards Given Scathing Rebuke REFUSED TO MEET DELEGATION OF LETTER CARRIERS. White Citizens are in Arms and His Resignation is Wanted. VOL. XXII. Congressman H Scathing REFUSED TO MEN OF LETTER White Citizens a His Resignati Congressman Charles G. Edwards, of the First District, begins his congressional career under very unfavorable auspices, in that he has called upon himself the just rebuke of many of the most prominent democrats of the state, and especially of his home, caused by his refusal to meet a delegation of colored mail carriers. The letter of the carriers to the congressman, his reply, and the communications, newspaper comments, etc., are given below and which speak for themselves: Savannah, Ga., May 17, 1907.—Hon. Chas. G. Edwards, Congressman, First Congressional District of Georgia, Savannah, Ga., Dear Sir—A committee from Letter Carrier Branch 578, N. A. L. C., desires to have an audience with you at as early a date as possible, and would be pleased to have you name the date and hour. If you will pardon me, I would suggest that about 5:15 p. m. is the hour best suited for us. Yours respectfully. Would Receive Whites. Congressman Edwards' letter declining to meet the committee follows: Savannah, Ga., May 18, 1907.—L. M. Pollard, Chairman of Committee, Branch No. 578, N. A. L. C., City. Sir I am in receipt of your favor of 17th instant, stating that "a committee from Letter Carrier Branch 578, N. A. L. C., desires to have an audience" with me at an early a date as possi- your committee is composed entirely of colored members. I must decline to give audience to your committee. I will be glad to give an audience to a white committee of your association at any time. The following morning, Mrs. Baldwin, one of the leading white ladies of the city, had the following inserted in the News: Editor Morning News: If Mr. Edwards is correctly quoted in his letter in the Morning News of Sunday morning, his action in refusing an audience to a committee from the body of colored postmen of Savannah is unwarranted and unjust. Does he not represent these men in Congress? Have they not a light to ask an interview? The colored postmen of the city are a most praiseworthy and intelligent class of colored citizens. They are sober, educated, industrious men, respectable and respected, who attend to their duties to the entire satisfaction of the community. The attitude of the congressman towards them should be one of commendation and interest. We want the friendship of our good colored citizens, we want them to feel our interest and real desire to encourage and help them. Such a course as Mr. Edwards has taken is calculated to breed ill-feeling and resentment; persisted in, it leads straight to racial antagonism and rlots. It should be his pleasure, as well as his duty, to meet these men with cordial sympathy and do his best to show that Savannah knows how to appreciate their faithful and intelligent services. MRS. GEORGE J. BALDWIN. This was followed by interviews along the same line by Mr. W. W. Mackall, Major W. B.; Stephens and the following from Judge Adams: Savannah, Ga., May 20, 1907. To the Editor of the Savannah Press Sir: Permit me to express my earnest approval of the communication in today's News from Mrs. Baldwin condemnatory of the attitude of the congressman from this district towards a committee representing the mall carriers, who desired an audience with him. I deeply regret the writing and the publication of the letter from the congressman. I must state, with all possible emphasis, that it does not properly represent the element in our community which insists upon the fair and courteous treatment of all men, regardless of their color. The matter involved is important and is above and beyond all merely personal considerations. The congressman occupies an official and, pre- The Savannah Tribune. sumably, representative position, and his attitude may be regarder as representative. The relations between the races are sufficiently strained in all conscience. No man can correctly claim that the people of the white race are exempt from a full share of blame for these unfortunate relations. The committee, which addressed a polite communication to the congressman, represented a body of intelligent, useful and respectable citizens. They did not expect to make a social visit, or to do anything that involved in any way the ethnological or social question. They were employees of the government. The congressman is a national representative. They desired to present for his consideration some claim that they thought they had upon the government as to wages, or some other matter which concerned them as government employees. They had a clear right to a hearing. Their rebuft does not tend to allay race, prejudice and its manifest evils. It does not advance our reputation among fair-minded and just people of other sections. Some of the great monarchs of the world have often graciously granted audiences, upon their petitions, to their humblest subjects. And they did not compromise their dignity or besmirch their reputations. I submit that even a Georgia congressman, high and mighty though his office, might condescend to do likewise without loss of dignity or standing, or real injury to political prospects. The sooner the white race realizes that there is no higher evidence of racial, or individual, elevation than the doing of simple justice and exhibiting to all men, under all circumstances, kindness and courtesy, the more quickly will race and other troubles be settled wisely and permanently. We can never demonstrate racial superiority by any other course. I am sir, SAMUEL B. ADAMS. The Evening Press editorially says: Audience Should Be Granted. The Press publishes this afternoon a communication from Judge Samuel D. Adams dissenting from the attitude of the congressman from this district toward the committee representing the mail carriers who desired an audience with him. The people of the district would insist upon fair and courteous treatment of all men, regardless of color. The committee represented government employees who have been universally active and accommodating in the discharge of their duty as mail carriers. Our understanding is that they only asked a hearing and should have been given that. The granting of such a favor would have been simple justice and anact of kindness and courtesy which would have been entirely worthy of a congressman and a member of the superior race. A congressman is a national representative of the people and we believe that the people would have suggested the granting of the audience asked for. The people of the south are anxious to establish better relations between the races. Through no fault of their own these relations have been strained. Those belonging to the white race, especially the representative men of that race, will see to it that every advantage is given to the Negro to improve his condition and to present his grievances. We are inclined to think that Congressman Edwards is misnuedstood in his attitude in this matter, or that he had not seriously considered the question which confronted him. A committee, from any number or from any class-of his constituents would be entitled to be received and to present their petitions or to air their grievances. They selected the congressman from their district as the proper for reaching the department, and this method should be encouraged. There was nothing unusual or unwarranted in their position, and it was entirely right and just. Then comes Col, Mercer Tuesday morning and hurled a broadside on him in the following interview in the News, characterizing it as a 'slight upon the government:' Col. George A. Mercer, president of the Board of Education, regards the action, of Congressman Edwards in refusing to receive the committee of colored letter carriers as a slight through a government employee to the federal government. He said that it had placed the congressman in a position where he could not hope to ask for any favors for his constituency. KIND TO BELGIANS New Immigrants are Well Treated in the South. INVESTIGATION 1S MADE GOULD Deserted Hubby der At New ard Gould the million separation, ishing ale "This point I desire to bring out strongly," said Colonel Mercer. "Congressman Edwards occupies a public position and represents a large number of voters. His time is not like that of a private citizen, but demands can be made upon if that could never be made upon a man not in public life. "He is the congressman. These letter carriers, if they had a grievance, or if they wished to bring anything to the attention of the federal government through whom could they do so unless through the member of congress from their district. He should have at least received them. But he refused and did not perform a congressman's duty there." "He, of course, slighted the Negro letter carriers, but that is not the significant thing. Through them he placed a slight on, federal government; if he desires to secure any favors for this district he has placed himself in an unusual position from which to ask them. I consider the letter of Mrs. George J. Baldwin a very sensible one. She states the case well. However, I want to call attention to the fact that the United States government has been slighted by this action of our congressman." Mayor Tiedeman concurs heartily in the expressions of those who condemn Congressman Edwards' action. "In his capacity as a representative of all the people in the First District," said the mayor, "I think it was Mr. Edwards' duty to have received and heard the committee, without regard to their color." The Morning News editorially said: Congressman Edwards' position in the matter of the petition of the mail carriers for a conference with him is untenable, as he will probably come to that conclusion on further consideration. The mail carriers are good cifizens, taxpayers, wage earners and men worthy of respectful consideration. They are residents of this district and therefore Mr. Edwards' constituents. In so far as their right to a hearing is concerned, it makes no difference what the color of their skins may be, whether white, black, blue or green. Their petition for a hearing was properly and respectfully addressed and meted a return in kind. If Mr. Edwards hopes to be of any benefit in congress to his district he will have to learn that it is absolutely necessary for him to deal fairly and justly with all men, irrespective of race, and to understand that as a representative in congress he is a servant of the people whose best interests he must ever keep in mind. Incidents of the kind under consideration certainly do not promote the best interests of the people. It is such acts as that of Congressman Edwards that help to keep the race feeling intense. The fact must be recognized that the Negro is in this country to stay and that it is desirable that there should be peace and good will between the two races. The easiest and surest way to insure good will and peace is for the superior race to treat the inferior one with absolute justice. The Negro—at least the good Negro—responds promptly to just treatment, and he will eventually see to it that the worthless Negro also responds. The white civic league met on Tuesday night and also paid respects to this inexperienced and autocratic congressman. Touched Upon in Report of Presbyterian Church Committee. The report of the, colored evangelization committee of the Southern Presbyterian church, made to the forty-seventh annual assembly of that body in session at Birmingham, Ala., is of significance as placing that great denomination in line with those leaders of southern thought who have arrived at the conclusion that religion offers a feasible solution of the race problem in the south. The report of the committee, as summarized, is as follows: "In the clamor of many opinions there is fast crystallizing a well-defined belief that religion is the prime factor in all efforts to deal effectively with the race problem. Its restraints should influence the dominant race to patient dealing with the follies of the inferior, while the missionary spirit of Christianity should urge the wise to become the teachers of the ignorant." KIND TO BELGIANS INVESTIGATION. 1S MADE Baron Moncheur, Belgian Representative at Washington, Makes a Special Tour and Gives Out Good Report. Baron Moncheur, the Belgian minister, who has just returned to Washington from a visit to South Carolina, where he went to investigate the condition of the Belgians who came over on the Wittekind, finds the south a good place for his people. He finds, after ten days of investigation, that the reports of dissatisfaction have been exaggerated, and that the Belgian immigrants are very well satisfied and have no complaint to make. The baron commented on the lower wage scale in the south as being the only possible ground for dissatisfaction. His investigations did not cover the cheap cost of living in the south, and he was not prepared to say that lower prices of commodities balanced lower wages. In the party brought over by Commissioner E. J. Watson, of South Carolina, last winter there were about 300 Belgians, whib are now employed in the cotton mills, and in various trades in South Carolina. Since then South Carolina and other southern states have sought to induce new immigrants, and particularly Belgians, to come in. Speaking of these Belgians in South Carolina, Baron Moncheur said: "I saw all of them except a few who are scattered, and they had very little complaint to make of the treatment which they are receiving. Of course, there are a few who are not satisfied, but they are very few. I visited them at their work in the cotton mills, and they told me that they were pleased with their labors and the treatment given them. "I have no criticism to make of the work they are doing in the mills. It is not, hard work at all, and they make very fair wages. It is the kind of work which would suit a large number of our people, especially those having families. A boy or a girl 12 to 14 years of age and upward can easily make 50 cents a day and more in the mills. "Of course, the masons and carpenters earn better wages. Those who come over and follow these trades are experienced men, and good, steady workmen. They find plenty of work to do, and are paid well as I have found." "It would be a great deal better if there were a good sized colony in the state, such as there is near Rochester, N. Y. Our people there are getting along nicely, and are satisfied, and it is particularly because a number of them are together." Concerning those who left South Carolina dissatisfied, Baron Moncheur said that the number was not very large. "Those who left would probably not have been satisfied under any circumstances," he said. "The proportion that has left South Carolina dissatisfied is not any greater than that which has left other states. We have had some complaints from the immigrants who went there, but not many. On the whole, they have gone to work there and are contented." Several reports have been circulated since the Baron returned to Washington to the effect that he was advising, or had advised his people against going to the south on account of the negro. Baron Moncheur said that this was entirely erroneous. "I see no reason why the negro should deter anybody. My observation is the white people and the negro in the south do not associate, either socially or at work. They do not work together in the cotton mills or in any other industry. The one way in which the negro is at all to be considered in this connection is that the negroes in the cotton fields and elsewhere on the farm can work for cheaper wages than our people, and hence our people could scarcely expect to compete with these laborers on the farm. Otherwise, the negro has nothing to do with the case, and if you hear that I have advised any of our people not to go south, you may say for me that it is simply not so I have never advised anything of the kind anywhere." Census of District of Columbia. A police census just completed at Washington gives the population of the District of Columbia as 320,591, of whom 96,185 are negroes. GOULDS ARE AT OUTS. Deserted Wife of Howard Drags Her Hubby Into Divorce Court Under Salacious Allegations. At New York Monday, Mrs. Howard Gould filed against her husband, the millionaire yachtsman, a suit for separation, one of her most astonishing allegations being that because of his personal habits he is an improper person to live with. The complaint is highly sensational, charging Gould with consorting with numerous women. Almost as astounding as, the actual beginning of the already famous divorce case are developments in the investigation into the use of police headquarters detectives by Howard Gould against Mrs. Gould. District Attorney Jerome will consult with Police Commissionor Bingham, going over all of the evidence thus far adduced in the case with the possible result that he may begin a grand jury proceeding to see just what there is to the conspiracy charged by Mrs. Gould. Mrs. Gould's complaint gainst her husband covers every one of the four grounds on which it is possible to secure a separation. Under the first charge, that he is not a proper person to live with, it is said that, some exceedingly distressing facts will be presented in the bill of particulars or at the time of the trial. The second charge is that he abandoned her. Since last July Mrs. Gould has been living at the St. Regis, recognized for some time as the city home of the Goulds, and her husband has not once visited her. Non-support is the third allegation. In September last Gould is said to have discontinued providing Mrs. Gould with funds, and until very recently she is said not to have received a single penny from him. Under the fourth charge, that of cruel and inhuman treatment, mally specifications are made, one of which is that Gould, at the time of their separation, sent notices to all of the trades people with whom he has been dealing instructing them not to give her any credit if they had any idea of collecting their accounts from him. This was at a time when he was trying to force her to accept his terms in the financial feature of their separation, and she charges that in this way he endeavored to compel her to submit to his wishes. Another of the specifications is that he has humiliated her, constantly surrounding her with detectives, causing her mall to be opened and subjecting her to many similar annoyances. A friend of Mrs. Gould says that when details are presented to the court, Mrs. Gould will state that one of the worst of the many indignities heaped upon her was the fact that while she was living at the St. Regis hotel her husband was openly paying attentions to another woman living at the same hotel. "Mrs. Gould knows that her husband is worth at least $20,000,000," said a friend of the lady, "and that he has an assured income of $1,000,000 a year, and she asks for allmony at the rate of $100,000 a year during the time the case is in court. At the time of the trial she will make a demand for permanent allmony of $130,000 a year." Counsel for Mrs. Howard Gould said that the suit will be tried in open court, adding: "Mrs. Gould desires that full publicity be given to it, and she refuses to spare any one engaged in the plot against her." EXPLOIT OF NEGRO CONVICT. Captures Ten of His Fellow Prisoners Who Had Escaped. Fourteen additional, misdemeanor convicts have escaped from the Sumter county, Georgia, chalangang, making a round total of about thirty escaping recently, and costing the county thousands of dollars. The fourteen escaping disarmed two of the three guards, while the third guard is reported to have fled the scene, the convicts deriding him, as he sprinted after the fourteen escapes, who had been gone some hours. Another convict, Brady Reddick, found the gun of the decamping guard, and thus armed pursued the fugitives. He captured ten of his fellow prisoners, and returned them to camp at the point of his gun, afterwards chaining them. This brilliant feat of a negro convict is applauded by the citizens of Americus. The four convicts who finally got away had all escaped previously, and were recaptured within the past month at a cost of $500 to the county in rewards, and expenses. --- OKLAHOMA HELD UP Republicans Determined Not to Admit New State. For Political Reasons Hold-Up May Be Successfully Carried Out. Plan is to Turn Down Newly Adopted Constitution. A Washington special says: The plous unction with which the republican leaders are proceeding in the attempt to withhold statehood from Oklahoma and the high moral grounds on which they rest their objections are really impressive. In the enabling act, passed by congress and approved by President Roosevelt on June 16, 1906, it was set forth that there should be five congressional districts in the territory of Oklahoma and Indian Territory, when they were admitted to the union as one state. This would give Oklahoma five representatives in congress and two senators, thus entitling her to cast seven votes in the electoral college. Of course the advocates of admission were reasonably sure that these were going to be good republican votes. The first election, however, completely disabused the minds of all. Such an overwhelming evidence of the democratic tendencies of the people was abundant proof to republicans that Oklahoma was "undesirable." They were trying to convince President Roosevelt also that it would not be wise to permit these seven democratic electoral votes to unfavorably complicate the situation when a republican president is to be elected next year. The men who were grooming themselves to be republican senators and representatives are sure it would not be wise; it might be disastrous. The constitution of the new state, framed by democrats who were duly and regularly elected by the people to draft their fundamental law, is being carefully and painfully scrutinized in the search for flaws. If a technicality can be discovered which will furnish grounds for exclusion there will be no need to resort to the legislative club, which is held by the republican majority in both houses. Then, too, the high moral grounds can be maintained. In the act of congress making provision for the admission of the new state it was provided that the following features should be incorporated in the new constitution: "Perfect toleration of religious sentiment." "Prohibition of traffic in alcoholic liquors for a period of twenty-one years in the parts of the state now known as Indian Territory, the Osage Indian reservation and in other parts of the state which existed as Indian reservations on January 1, 1906. "Prohibition of polygamous and plural marriages." "Release of the public lands within the state to the United States. "Payment of the debts of the territory of Qklahoma by the state^of Oklahoma. "Establishment of public schools, allowing separate schools for white and negro children. "The right of franchise unrestricted on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." There is also a further injunction that a republican form of government must be secured. The 110 delegates to the convention adopted a document which they believed encompassed all the instructions given them by congress and later by the president on the subject of Jim crow cars and the control of corporations. -This done, the democrats made such disposition of the legislative, districts that the republicans claim it will be impossible for them ever to elect a. United States senator. Frisco, Mayor Relinquishes Reins of Government to Special Committee.

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 "ROP'S NEW COMMERCIAL CALCULATOR." This reliable assistant to the farmer and others has been in the market for many years, and nearly a million and a half copies have been sold. The last edition (160 pages) is from beginning to end filled with tables, short cuts, and up-to-date methods of calculating, making it the most complete, useful and comprehensive work of the kind ever published. It will make every one independent, sure and self-reliant in all practical calculations connected with farming and other lines of business. It will prevent mistakes, relieve the mind, save time, labor and loss. It is a pocket edition with pocket for papers and a loose silicate slate from which lead pencil marks are easily erased, and is an invaluable assistant for every farmer or business man. THE TREIBLING HEART. I lift my head and walk my ways Before the world without a tear, And bravely unto those I meet I smile a message of good cheer; I go up to the song, and somehow get me through each day; But oh, the tremble in my heart Since she has gone away! Her feet had known the stinging thorns, Her eyes the blotting tears; Bent were her shoulder with the weight And sorrow of the years; The lines were deep upon her brow, Her hair was thin and gray; And oh, the tremble in my heart Since she has gone away! I am not sorry, I am glad! I would not have her here again; God gave her strength life's bitter cup Unto the bitterest dreg to drain; I would have less strength than she, I proudly trot to my home; But oh, the tremble in my heart Since she has gone away! Home Again. The lately acquired suit case actually belonging to Parkin Jones was lying on its glossy, bright, yellow side, just as it had been dropped, with the more familiar scuffed family valise, between the dining table and the wall, in defiance of all rules of order. Parkin Jones' new derby hat reposed on the table cloth. Parkin Jones himself was plined in the faded Morris chair with the comfortably broken springs by young Parkin and Lauretta, who were crumpling all shape out of his smart new suit. Baby Jones was gnawing at the extended tip of his patent-leather shoe, unregarded by his fond mother, who, flushed with the glow of the recklessly flaring gas log, sat at Jones' feet with one plump hand on an unoccupied part of his knee. "You looked so grand coming along we hardly knew you," said Mrs. Jones, with a loving little pat on the burdened knee. Jones smiled complacently. "Pretty swell gail, ain't I?" he said. "Ouch! How many new teeth has that infant accumulated since I've been gone? Quit it, you sneeze zicks! What makes him so fond of shoes, I wonder." "It's the blacking," explained young Jones. "It's got sweet in it. I tasted it." "I knowed you, papa," said Lauretta, burrowing into his shoulder with her curly head. "I knowed you dess vew moment I saw you." "Did you, sweetness?" asked Jones hugging her. "Well, tell me what's been happening, mother." "There's three new puppies over at——" began the boy. "Hush!" said his mother, raising a warning finger. "Let your papa talk. My! nobody can get a word in edgeways. You've got to tell first, father. Tell us all about everything." "Tell us!" begged the chorus. Let us: begged the chorus. "Can't you wait?" asked Jones. "Aren't you going to give me time to get my breath?" "No!" was the shouted reply. "Very well, then," said Jones. "I started last Monday week, went away, away off to Pittsburgh and got safely back home five minutes ago. Now tell me about the puppies, son." "There's three of them——" "Des as cute!" added Lauretta. "Children!" said Mrs. Jones. "Wait now. We'll hear all about the puppies later on. I want to hear what your magnificent father has been doing with himself. I have my suspicions." Jones pinched her cheek. "Tell me, dear, did everything go all right?" "Smooth as velvet," replied Jones. "There wasn't any work to it—hardly. It was just a pleasure jawt—regular junket the whole time. Private car going down." "What!!" ejaculated Mrs. Jones. "That's what I'm telling you. Why, what do you think? Do you suppose that the great and only Burmerly was going to travel like ordinary mortals in just a common ordinary Pullman? Well, I guess not. I hardly think he would have requested Parkin Jones, esquire, to give him the pleasure of his company if he hadn't been prepared to do the thing in the style to which the Honorable Parkin Jones has been accustomed." Jones chuckled at this joke and Mrs. Jones joined heartily. The children went into shouts of laughter, wherecat Jones and Mrs. Jones langued the more. "Private car," resumed Jones; "private cook, private porter and Burmerly's own private valley." "Was he nice to you?" asked Mrs. Jones, rather anxiously. "The valley? Well, yes, considering his position. He unbended quite a little." "Goose! I mean Mr. Burmerly." "Treated me like a prince. I hadn't any idea he could be so nice. He's all right, for all that hang-you-dont-care-to-presume way he's got. Once or twice he was almost jolly. Yes, it was 'anything you want, touch the button,' and the meals we got on that trip! Whew! Game, fish, steaks three inches thick, and—say! I never knew there were such steaks. And I ate right with his imperial nibs." "I should think you did!" said Mrs. Jones, with a flash in her pretty dark eyes. "The idea!" "I didn't know but he'd give me a handout on the rear platform," said Jones, jocularly. "And I met all manner of magnates." "I'm so glad you, got that suit," murmured Mrs. Jones. "It did happen pretty well, didn't it? Made me feel good, too. Two hours to get ready wasn't much notice, eh?" "I should think not. Then you think he liked——" "I know he did. As I say, there wasn't much work to do, take it all round; but once or twice I had to hustle. The old gentleman's a fiend for setting a pace, but when we.gef through he gave quite a successful imitation of a smile. 'We cleaned that up in pretty good shape,' he says. 'Jones, how long have you been with us?' And when I told him he says, 'Hah!' and looked thoughtful. Another time he said: 'I don't seem to miss Ridgely at all.'" "Honest. And when we met Gibbuns at Hookerburg, he introduced me as if I had been an old friend of his and began to talk business right away. Gibbuns raised his eyebrows and sort of looked at me and Burmerly said, 'You can talk before Mr. Jones.' You see I'm Burmerly's confidential man." "You ought to have said, 'Yes, I'm paid well to be trusted—$25 a week.'" "I know that's what I should have said," said Jones, smiling. "But I have a foolish streak once in a while; I just kept my head closed. But I have what is known as a hunch." "Papa," said Jones, junior, "those puppies——" "Parkin!" said his mother. "We stopped at the Gibbuns mansion palace in Clydale—automobiled out there, and if you had seen my room! Such a magnificence! Rugs so thick and soft it was like walking on I don't know what. Furniture! Gorgeous, bathroom with silver faucets and pier glasses. Servants and flunkies and table cloths with lace edges and china that scared me to death. Man came up to know if he could help me dress. Oh, maybe I wasn't treated well! I saw Ridgely's wife. Style!" "What did she wear?" asked Mrs. Jones, looking down at her own bargain silk waist. "Don't ask me," replied Jones. "Suppose some day we had all those things,' mused Mrs. Jones. "If Mr. Burmerly has taken such a fancy to you he'll give you something better now, and then——What a beautiful time you must have had!" "The darnedest, most uncomfortable time I ever had in my life," said Jones. "Here, I want my old coat and slippers—my old slippers. Get off me, you scaramauches. Mother, what have you got the cloth laid for? You don't mean to say you are going to feed me! What's for supper?" "I suppose after all the lovely things you've been——" "What's for supper?" reiterated Jones, embracing her. "It's—it's Irish stew," faltered Mrs. Jones. Jones took his hat from the table, threw it in the air and dexteriously caught it. "Hooray!" he cried, "I thought of it, but I hardly dared hope for it. Now, I'll have a square meal at last." Children, leave my legs alone. Let's all go out to the kitchen and help mother. There's no place like home. Irish stew."—Chicago News. THE HAWK AND THE SQUIRREL. A Contest in the Wilds of California Related. Driving down the gentle slopes of Sonoma Mountain—the mountain is 2340 fqt high—we observed a very large hawk—the largest of the hawks, a large brown-spotted fellow, perhaps rightly an eagle—perched on the fence by the roadside. As we approached, he flew quartering toward us, dove down at the foot of a rocky hill and arose in the air carrying a full-grown gray ground squirrel in his talons. This squirrel is nearly the size of the timber gray squirrel of the east, and looks very much like it, except that it usually has several light-colored bars on its sides, and old specimens are of a lighter earth gray. It lives in holes in the ground, usually in dry, rocky places. The hawk flew about fifty yards, when the squirrel reached up and bit him on the leg. This squirrel has a very tough hide, sharp, strong teeth, and is a fighter from away back. The hawk at once released his talons, but the squirrel hung on with his teeth quite a little time, and then dropped to the ground and started for his rocky home. The hawk flew down 100 yards further and alighted on the fence. The squirrel was injured somewhat, but made very good time back. The hawk waited until he was within a few yards of home when he Carted for him again and arose with him. This last flight of the hawk showed with what wonderful velocity the great bird could pass through the air. The hawk had flown only two or three rods when the squirrel bit him again, and he dropped it. The poor squirrel was now badly used up, but he did his best to get under cover. The hawk again perched on the fence. The squirrel had reached within a few feet of its burrow when the hawk started for him again. This time he seized the now well nigh helpless squirrel securely with both feet and sat down on his tail—the hawk's tail—stretched out his legs to their fullest extent and stretched his head and neck away back out of danger, and so held his victim until his struggles were over, and then he flew up on an old tree to enjoy his dinner; and the show was over.

The Story of Malaria, as told by Major Ronald Ross, F. R. S., first to an audience of the Royal Colonial Institute of Great Britain, and later in the pages of the. National Review, is full of most interesting facts that are apt to pass the memory, unless recalled from time to time. Our present knowledge, as he reminds us, is the result of more than two thousand years of patient study, and it forms what might be called a gigantic epic of science. It tells of a long and hard-fought battle between man and nature, and it is only to-day that we even begin to see the promise of victory. If we go back to the writings of Hippocrates and his successors, some 400 years B. C., we learn that the Greeks and Romans were then studying the character of malaria, and had distinguished its class by two important points; the first was that malarial fevers are not continuous in type, but occur in periodical attacks, and these attacks they classified as quotidian, tertian, and quartan; that is, occurring every day, every alternate day and every third day. Although we now understand that attacks may, by overlapping, present the appearance of a continuous fever, this does not contradict the ancient classification. The second point found out by them, and attested by succeeding experience, is that there is direct connection between marshes and swamp pools or soil and the prevalence of this kind of disease. They even went so far as to point to a probability of the disease being disseminated by a species of germ or microbe to man, thus approaching remarkably near to our nineteenth century "discoveries." Indeed, we seem not to have disproved any of the theories of the ancients, but rather to have enlarged upon them, added to their number, and established their certainty. After the ancients—a very long time after—the next step forward was taken in South America. To a villager of Malacatos, in Decador, we owe the discovery of the efficiency of Peruvian bark as a cure for malarial fever—or as we should more correctly term it, an antidote. This became known in Europe about 1640, and acquired fame after it had been used to alleviate the agues of Louis XIV. In 1820 two French chemists separated from Peruvian bark its essential alkaloid, quinine. Still, after the lapse of two and a half centuries, the bark or its alkaloid are the accepted specifics against malarial fevers. By experimenting with the use of these drugs, it was found possible to separate with greater precision the different types of fever and determine the periods of attick. To the story of malaria another chapter was soon after this contributed by the British military and naval surgeons, at a time when British ships were exploiting all waters. These found malarial fever to be common in all tropical and sub-tropical countries—that it was an enemy likely to be encountered almost anywhere. They added their affirmation to the theory that soil as well as water held the fever poison. About the middle of last century, however, when biology became a favorite study and the microscope a more perfected instrument, the granules of what is now called malarial pigment were found in the blood, and these pigment granules were found to be the refuse matter of infumerable little parasites, which, living within the blood, caused disease. Almost at the same time that this discovery was made, Pasteur, Koch, Lister and others were discovering that bacteria were the cause of anthrax, tuberculosis, cholera, typhoid and leprosy. The two great discoveries mark together an epoch in history. The essential difference between them, briefly stated, is that malarial germs are protozoa, or the lowest form of animal life, while the bacteria represent the lowest form of vegetable life. By close study of the processes followed by the parasites of malaria, it was found that their capacity to reproduce themselves was almost unending, but that it kept to the order of successive generations; and just as all the stalks of corn in a field which was sown at one time reach maturity together, so did the members of the same generation of malaria parasites. The shell of the blood corpuscle which has held the growing parasite bursts when it reaches maturity, and allows its spores to fall into the fluid of the blood, and these again fasten themselves on other corpuscles and begin to germinate in their turn. Millions of parasites will liberate their spores at the same time, and it will be precisely at this time that the patient will be attacked with the ague fit, followed by fever. As some of the spores take seventy-two hours to reach full development, the next attack of fever will not take place until the third day; as another type develops within forty-eight hours, the attacks occur every other day; and those which sporulate every twenty-four hours produce the quotidian fever. It is possible, though perhaps not usual, for one patient to harbor all three varieties at one and the same time. At the time that the molarial parasites scatter their spores in the blood, the patient is seized with chill, nausea, shivering and fever; very soon, however, the wonderful antitoxic mechanism of the body begins to assert itself, the poison is acted upon, neutralized, and in a large measure eliminated by the sweating which ensues, and the patient is relieved. But another 'generation' is developing meanwhile, and when it reaches maturity another attack is caused, and not until their power of reproduction is weakened, and finally overcome, will recovery be permanent. Even then, undue fatigue, chill or great heat may cause a relapse by favoring the parasites and their development. The battle must be incessantly waged between the conflicting parties, poison on the one hand, anti-toxin on the other. A startling discovery, made in quite recent times, is that native children in tropical countries, although apparently healthy, often carry these parasites almost constantly in their blood. As the children reach maturity, if they have not succumbed to the poison before then, this early inoculation seems to procure them immunity as adults, for very few adult natives are subject to malarial fevers in the way that Europeans are. While they are young, however, the disease decimates them in large numbers. The next chapter in the story of malaria had to reveal where these protozoan parasites live in external nature, and how and by what agency they effect their entrance into the human body. The older theories assumed that stagnant water made a home for them, and that they were inhaled in the mists and vapors which rose from the marsh, and possibly by the drinking of foul water. But experiments made trying to develop the parasites from stagnant water failed to give the supposed results. Then the mosquito theory, existent and in vogue for some centuries, was revived, and trials which were made, independently of each other, added strength to the belief that infection came from the bites of the insect. In 1894 Major Ross was told by Dr. Manson (now Sir Patrick Manson) of his own theory concerning the ability of parasites to transfer themselves from one species of animal to another, and he commenced to make critical examination for himself. When, after two and a half years of experimenting, he was on the point of giving up in despair, he was startled on examining a new species of mosquito to discover in its tissues the very bodies he was in search of. Before he could obtain formal proof his researches were interfered with by his being ordered to a place where there were little or no malaria. The following year the Government of India placed him on special duty for the continuance of his study, and then in a few months he was able to establish his conclusions, which were to the effect that when mosquitoes of a particular species suck the blood of infected men, animals or birds, they draw in with it the parasites of malaria, and these, living and growing in them, produce spores which find their way down the proboscis into the blood of their next victim, infecting him. Thus the mosquito takes the parasite from one infected person, and after a week or more converts it into the blood of another, probably quite healthy, individual. After this discovery had been made public, schools of tropical medicine and societies took it up, books and pamphlets innumerable were written upon the subject, and healthy persons volunteered themselves to be acted upon by the experimentalists, so the new study was prosecuted with all vigor. One of the things it is most curious to note is that the results of all this combined working merely developed and added to the conjectures and the theories of the ancients. For example, the mosquitoes which carry human malaria belong to a species called the Anophellines, which breed mostly in terrestrial waters, that is, in marshes, which explains the connection between marshes and malarial fever. But it is not the parasite causing the fever which lives and breeds in the marsh, but the gnat or mosquito which is the carrier of the parasitic poison. Where appropriate marshes exist, these insects abound and infect everyone within their reach by inoculating them with the poison they, carry from one to the other. It is argued that mosquitoes also exist and abound where there is no malaria, and this is true, the difference being that they are not Anopheline mosquitoes. Happily for us, the Anopheline is a comparatively rare kind. The remedy which Major Ross adopts most strongly is the tracking and drainage of waters and swamps which favor the breeding of the malaria type; to carry out sanitation in this way is not merely to get rid of the mosquito itself, but of pests of flies and other insects. His plans are now being included in all the schemes of tropical sanitation, and with the improvement in land, air and water, cleanliness and better housing come as a natural result, so that the local authority follows hard upon the heels of the imperial officer, and the efforts of both are fast making habitable for man the long untenanted regions of the globe, giving him, in fine, through the destruction of unwholesome conditions, the gift of a new world.—Scientific American.

New York City has added 33,400 families to its population in the last three years. Know It by Heart. FOR THE FARMER AND STOCKMAN The figures of really representative herds must mean something to the thoughtful farmer. The herd of low production and the individual cows that do not return the owner a net profit of $12 or $15 per year scarcely justify this investment of money, time and labor in keeping them. A study of these herds shows that the economical thing to do is to sell the poor cows to the butcher as fast as they can be replaced with better producers. The latter can be accomplished either by more judicious buying or by raising the heifer calves of high-producing mothers mated to a pure-bred sire having a line of such mothers in his ancestry. This is not so difficult to do when once the dairyman sets his standard of a cow, determines definitely what kind of a cow he will buy or produce, and goes after that cow instead of taking something else that may be cheaper or easier to get. The greatest practical difficulty is in discovering what cows are poor and how poor they are. This is quite easily done—in just one way—by weighing and testing the milk of each cow often enough throughout the milking period to get a fair estimate of her worth. Scales and a Babroc test cost but a few dollars and their use may easily lead to an improvement of the herd that will add hundreds to the profit annually. Should not every dairyman ask (and answer) the question, "On which side of the profit line—and how far from it—is my herd and every individual in it?"—Indianapolis News. Home-Made Cow Stanchion: F. G. Semple, a Canadian farmer, furnishes Farm and Fireside with his plan of making cow stanchions. He says he has used both chains and the old stationary stanchion, but has come to consider his plan superior to either of them. The figure at the right in the illustration shows the stanchion closed. The one at the left represents the stanchion as it appears when open. A Plan of Making Cow Stanchion. The two sides are made of hardwood four feet long, one and a quarter inches thick and two and a half inches wide. The end pieces are of hardwood, and are one foot long and three and a quarter inches square. They are mortised to receive the side pieces, as shown in the sketch at bottom of illustration. The sides are fixed to the ends with bolts, which being loose enough so it is movable. When the side falls, as shown on the figure on the righthand side, the clevis raises and when the side comes back into position again the clevis falls as shown in the lefthand figure and holds it securely. Mr. Semple says this stanchion, including material, labor, etc., should cost from sixty to seventy-five cents each. Thinking of an Orchard? Numerous apple orchards are planted from which no adequate returns are made for the amount of work performed. Oftentimes the trees are purchased from some perpathetic and irresponsible tree peddler. The trees are planted according to the best methods, but a failure to protect them against rabbits or other vermin causes the destruction of probably a fourth of the number the first winter after they are planted. The following summer the land may be planted in some crop requiring clean cultivation, as potatoes, tobacco, cabbage or tomatoes, and in the plowing of these crops it often happens that more pains are taken to protect a cabbage or tobacco plant than a fruit tree. The result is that many are skinned by the singletree or trace chains and irretrievably damaged. If such a tree should survive, it will never prove healthy or prolific in the yield of apples. After the trees are large enough to be in full bearing, no efforts are made to protect them by spraying against the numerous insect enemies. The bark of the tree cracks, and these cracks soon enclose the tree and the tree dies. An orchard, to be profitable, requires the greatest of care. The land must be fertilized from time to time. Weeds, brushes and brilars must be kept down. The trees must be watched carefully, and any appearance of disease must be arrested by proper remedies. Unless the orchard receives careful attention, it will prove a waste of time and a numberer of the land.—Richmond Times-Dispatch. The Yankee Milk Pall. While cities are demanding a better quality of milk and health officers are doing their best to make the farmer sit up and take notice, my method of obtaining the simon pure article may be of interest. Dust proof ceilings and walls, whitewashed interiors, clipped cows, white duck suits, etc., are all well enough, but farmers are few who will pay any attention to such rules. The combination of the Hoard stall (plans for which appeared in the Tribune Farmer not long ago) and the covered milk pall produce the desired result for me. The first essential is a clean cow. The Hoard stall will take care of the cow—she couldn't get dirty if she would. Our STRAINING CLOTH The Yankee Milk Pail. cows come out of the barn in the spring as clean as they are when on pasture. Make no mistake about the stall; this stall is the ideal method for tying up cows. Next in importance is the covered pail. Mine is made after- my own ideas, and looks something like an ordinary milk pail turned upside down—small end up. The top is seven inches in diameter. A shallow pan two inches deep fits tight in the top and is fastened there. A few holes one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter in the bottom of the pan near the centre let the milk run through into the pail. The spout of the pail has a tight fitting cover. One or two thicknesses of strainer cloth are slipped under the pan before it is fastened in place, and the result is a dust and dirt proof pail. There is no patent on this pail. To work this combination I proceed about as follows: I take my pail and stool and sit down by the cow, tie her tall, milk out the foremilk, wipe her sides and udder with a cloth, and proceed to milk into the shallow pan. The milk strikes the bottom of the pan, runs through the holes in the pan, through the strainer cloth and into the pail, where it is practically sealed from outside conditions. It comes in contact with the air of the barn only while it is passing from the teat to the pan—a distance of perhaps six inches. I have received many helps from the Tribune Farmer, and hope this will point the way for cleaner milk for others.—L. R. Hall, in the New York Tribune Farmer. Farm Notes. Whatever may be said for or against the practice of dehorning, breeding, the horns off is the better way. The farmer should take active interest in the condition of the roads of his town. Their excellence increases the value of the farm. The entomologists of the Department of Agriculture have found that the common red ant and the larvae of a wasp fly are the best parasites for the boll weevil. Probably not half the farmers give lime in any form to their fowls. Those who do not can hardly expect the fowls to be particularly generous to them in the supply of eggs, or in thickness of shell on those they do furnish. Wherever sheep feed new sweet grasses flourish and weeds are destroyed. For this reason farmers should raise more of them, if for no other. But there are several other and equally good reasons why exery farm should have its flock of these useful animals. When feeding meat to hens do not use the fatty parts. The object in feeding meat to hens is to supply them with nitrogen and albumen and not fat, as the grain contains all the fat and starch they require and in a cheap form. If the fat is fed it does not assist in any way to provide material for eggs, but rather retards that assists laying. --- SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1907. THE sentiment for establishing of more and varied colored enterprises and unstinted support of them all, should be created and spread among our people of every calling in all parts of this community. The sentiments expressed at the organization of the white civic league were excellent ones that meet a responsive chord in every person of color. There was but one thing to jar our people and that was the uncalled for remarks of Maj. Stephens. The major should know that the colored citizens understand well the purpose of the civic league, and. abhor social equality as much as he or any other man. It is very obnoxious to us to be told of this bugbear so often. A LARGE number of our leading white citizens met on Tuesday night and formed a civic league. The main purpose of this league is to maintain friendly relations between the two races, etc. We commend our white friends for their advance step and assure them that their action is appreciated and will tend to stronger cement the already good feeling that exist in this community between the races. The colored citizens, especially those of thought and standing will do everything possible in their power to retain this amicable relation and to discourage any form of lawlessness within their rank: At the capital, the President appointed a commissioner to report on the housing conditions of the people in the back streets and alleys. The report of the commissioner is not such as would commend the capital of the nation as a place of abode for poor renters. This reminds us that our city authorities should take up this very question and condemn the many small shacks that have been erected in the lanes where our people are huddled together. Many of them are living in outhouses, over stables and other stifling places, where disease germs of all kinds are created and spread. The unsanitary places should be condemned and more modern houses be erected for this large class of tenants. If this be done the health of the city would be greatly improved. Tattnal County's Disgrace Tattnal County's Disgrace The awful tragedy that occurred in Tattnal County on Tuesday is deplored by every good citizen. It would have never occurred if the white citizens had displayed common judgment and had not themselves violated the law by joining an illegal body and go to the home of the colored man Padgett to make a search for an accused. This crime charged to the man is a henious one, and if he is guilty the law should inflict its severst penalty upon him. As vigorously as we condemn the reported assault and the alleged accused, in as severe a term do we condemn the band of white men who without authority went to Padgett's house and there murdered innocent ones and wounded others. Of course one of their number was killed, but even that could have been averted by discrete action. The Morning News aptly states our position in the matter when it editorially says: "Wouldn't the wiser plan have been to have secured a warrant and placed it in the hands of the sheriff? If that course had been pursued it is probably that nobody would have been killed or injured, but the guilty person would have been apprehended and have been dealt with speedily by the courts." The white press and the men of that race are harping on the lack of respect that the colored man has for the laws, but should they not teach the lawless ones among them to become more law-abiding? He is Sorry that he Wrote. Congressman-elect Edwards of this district is placed in a pitiable plight because he thoughtlessly refused to meet a delegation of colored mail carriers who wanted to consult with him as congressman for this district. His refusal brought upon his head the protest of every class of citizens, especially those who are high in the councils of his party. He is justly rebuked, and the lesson given him should be so deeply inculcated that it will eradicate his hatred of colored men and cause him to be more considerate of them and less prejudiced and thoughtless should he have occasion to again write any of them. Because Col. Deveaux Appointed a Colored Inspector; Edwards Kleked. In our last issue we announced that Col. Deveaux, Collector of Customs had appointed Mr. Robert E. Scott as Inspector of Customs. Despite the fact that of the eligibles for this place, Mr. Scott made about one point less than the highest mark, the daily papers attempted to make it appear that he was the lowest on the list and this appointment has caused a renewed fight, on that of Col. Deveaux for his place. This is led by Congress man-elect Edwards who has written President Roosevelt, protesting against a reappointment. This inexperienced congressman ruined his cause by questioning the integrity of the President concerning the appointment and too this is backed up by his very unwise attitude in refusing to meet a committee of colored mail carriers. The President will pay but the slightest attention to the vaporings of this young man, who has lost prestige with the members of his own party and whose congressional career is blighted in its incipiency. Col. Deveaux has been heartily commended by his friends here and elsewhere for his appointment of Mr. Scott, and the same has strengthened him in no uncertain way with the leaders and rank and file of his party. Tuesday's Washington, D. C, Herald gave our young congressman the following excellent lesson: "A very young and very new member of the House of Representatives from Georgia, by name Charles G. Edwards, lets it be known that he is determined to bring about the removal of all negroes holding Federal offices. After making due allowance for the self-esteem generally pertaining to youth, and especially to youthful Congressmen, we are still constrained to the opinion that Mr. Edwards is either possessed of poor judgment or is willing to enjoy a little notoriety along with the fame which is naturally his now that he is a part of the national legislative machinery. Without reference to the questions of ethics and equity involved, Negroes will occupy Federal offices as long as the Republican party remains in power. They have done their share to maintain the supremacy of that political organization, they demand their reward, and they will continue to receive it, in the form of occasional patronage, while the appoinitive power is lodged in a Republican President and he has a Republican Senate to confirm his nominations. Since the number of Negroes who are Democrats is infinitesimal, and the Democratic party owes the race nothing, it is obvious that only a national victory for that party will accomplish the purpose of our drought young friend from Georgia. Perhaps, of course, it is his intention to direct his energies in accordance with this fact, in addition to demanding that President Roosevelt dismiss certain Negroes already in offices. "Everything considered, Mr. Edwards would invite more credit for wisdom and logic were he to accept the 'presence of colored men in Federal positions as fixed and inevitable, under the circumstances just referred to, and deyote his attention to the geographical phases of the subject. That is to say, assuming that the Negro should be given Federal office, it follows that he should not be confined to any particular section. At present, with a few minor exceptions, there are no Negroes with Federal billets in the Northern and Western states, which are Republican, while, on the other hand, there are many in the Southern States, all of which are Democratic. This is a discrimination against our friends of the North and West which is obviously unjust and which constitutes a condition of affairs peculiarly enticing to reformers like Mr. Edwards. "The young man from Georgia makes a further mistake, if the dispatches are to be believed, of declaring that "this is a white man's country." As a matter of fact, it is a country of all the man who are its citizens. The constitution guarantees equal rights and privileges not only to the Negro, but to any other colored man who is an American citizen. More wordy assertion will not alter this fact. Until there is a radical change in conditions, amounting to a revolution, this will not be "a white man's country" in reality, such as, for example, the commonwealth of Australia. There the enforcement of the laws not only prevents the entry of Negroes and all manner of colored persons, but is now resulting in the deportation to their tribal islands, of the South Sea Kanakas who have for years produced the rich sugar crops of tropical Queensland, where the" employment of white labor is practically impossible. "All in all, we fear that Mr. Edwards will continue to blush unseen if he depends for future glory on the consumption of the plan attributed to him." Fifth Jamestown Picture: The Great Historical Exposition at Norfolk Virginia, is now in full swing. The New York World again announces a beautiful picture in colors of this Exposition. Everybody should have this set of pictures Free with the Sunday World. His Seat Will be Contested. pecial Washington dispatch states that "Indisputable evidence is at hand, that at the assembling of Congress, the right of Congressman-elect Edwards to represent his district will be challenged." Decoration Day. Next Thursday will be Federal Memorial Day. This is a national holiday. It will not be observed to any extent in this city. There will be three boats to leave on Wednesday night for Beaufort to allow excursionists to participate in the exercises there on Thursday. The Grand Army members will go on steamer Clifton. St. Phillips Dots. Big crowds at each sermon on Sunday, Rev. Jas. F. Gillins, P. E., and ex-pastor of Gaines Chapel and also the first pastor and one of St Philips sons, steward and first leader of class No. 31, now of Greensboro, Ala., preached at 11 a.m. Rev. Gillins, text was from Gen. 5.22, subject, "And Enoch walked with God." Rev. Gillins' discourse was full of thought throughout and animating to the christian. At 8 p.m., Rev. Lindsay delivered one of those heartfelt sermons which was beneficial to all who heard it. There was a class of ten persons confirmed and given the right hand of fellowship at 11 a.m. Our revival closed on Sunday night after having been quite successful.

Lindsay returned from New York city on last Saturday, where he had been in attendance at the meeting of Missionary Board of the A. M. E. Church, which composes North and South America and the Isles of the sea in which he holds the position of secretary. Rev. Lindsay reported having quite a nice trip. St. Phil congregation is still growing spiritually, financially and numerically which speaks well for the present administration. Rev. Gillins was cordially received on every side while in our city and old comrades and friends congratulated him on the success and attainment he has made in the ministry. We hope Rev. Gillins will call and see us more often; there is no place like home. Our Sunday School will give an excursion to Daufuski on Monday June 3rd. Supt.

D. of Kansas City Mo., J. B. Davis, D. D. of Thomasville, Ga., and M. A. L. Merchant of the Foreign Mission Board were present and made brief remarks. Rev. D. W.

Prof H. J. T. Hudson, who is in charge of the public school on the Louisville road, is doing a commendable thing in attempting to purchase a plot of ground and erect therson a suitable building for the benefit of our children in that locality. The board of education is not inclined to erect such buildings for our children, therefore as a matter of self defense we must do so. Prof. Hudson has received proper endorse- ments for his work and should be encouraged by liberal subscriptions from individuals, churches and institutions. At the recent session of the Baptist Ministers of this city, his plans were heartily endorsed. The purchasing of this plot of ground and the erection of the school house are small things for our people to do if each one would only contribute even the smallest amount. Contribution for this improvement can be sent to Prof. Hudson at No. 693 West 36th St. Men's Sunday Club. Tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock, the Rey.

MRS.NELLIE MAKHAM A nervous irritable woman, often on the verge of hysteresis, is a source of misery to everyone who comes under her influence, and unhappy and miserable herself. Such women not only drive husbands from home but are wholly unfit to govern children. The lills of women act like a fire brand upon the nerves, consequently seven-tenths of the nervous prostration, nervous despondency, the "blues", sleeplessness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some organic derangement. Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness alternating with extreme irritability? Do you suffer from pains in the abdominal region, backache, and nausea, despair, despondency, sleeplessness, and almost continually cross and snappy? If so, your nerves are in a shattered condition and you are threatened with nervous prostration. Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous troubles of women than Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, Thousands and thousands of women can testify to this fact. Mrs. Nellio Makham, of 151 Morgan St., Buffalo, N. Y., writes:— When You Want Pure White Lead, Get It Probably there is no other article of commerce subjected to so much duplication and misrepresentation as White Lead. Out of 18 brands of "White Lead" recently analyzed by the Government Agricultural Experiment Station of North Dakota, 5 contained absolutely no White Lead, 5 less than 15% of White Lead, and only 3 over 90% of White Lead. There is, however, a way to be certain of the purity and genuineness of the White Lead you buy, and that is to see that the keg you buy bears the Dutch Boy trade mark. This trade mark is a positive guarantee of absolutely pure White Lead made from the Old Dutch Process.

CALLS HIS CURE A MIRACLE Tortured by Terrible, Dry Eruptions —Too Disfigured to Leave House —Cuticura Cured Him. "Ever since the time I grew into manhood I have been suffering from a dry eruption which at times appeared very extensively, and at other times, but to a limited degree, on my body. I consulted a number of medical men without result, and last January I was affected with a terrible eruption on my hands, scalp, and face, which was so bad that I could not even leave the house, so I finally curtied to the Cuticura Remedies. So far they represent an outlay of only a few dollars and I am completely restored to health, while formerly I had spent dollars upon dollars on doctors, remedies and ointments without getting cured. The Cuticura Remedies represent a perfect miracle. Henry E. Kamping, 633 Eagle Ave., New York, N. Y., Feb. 16 and Mar. 15, 1906." HOSTILE RELATIONS.

Man wants to be comfortable as a cat on a warm rug; to feel no prick of conscience; to see nothing unpleasant, such as tears or a wan face. It exasperates him to madness when he is obliged to see his wife sad, but it never occurs to him to try to prevent her sadness.—Spinster in M. A. P. . Miss. Mrs. and Mistress. "Miss" is an abbreviation of "mistress," which, as an English law dictionary explains, is the proper style of the wife of an esquire or a gentleman. By Dr. Johnson's time it had become "the term of honor to a young girl." In the earliest part of the eighteenth century, however, it was used respectfully of girls below the age of ten alone. After that age "miss" was rude, implying gldiffness of behavior. In Smollett's writings an unmarried woman of mature years and her maid are both "Mrs." It is certain that "miss" has grown older, so to speak, while "master" has become confined to boys.—New York News. How to Dress the Hair. "While it is true that the 'glory of a woman is her hair,' it is none the less a fact that a great deal depends on the way the hair is arranged. Such was the dictum of a portrait painter, who continued: "My, experience is that very few women realize the extent to which their looks may be improved by the way in which their tresses are arranged. "As a general rule, indeed, the ears should be hidden, for, curious as it may seem, the large proportion of feminine ears are not at all pretty. "By studying the peculiarities of her face, and with perhaps a little expert advice, a woman may add greatly to such attractions as she possesses by wearing her hair accordingly."—Pittsburgh Press. Dorothea Bate: Explorer. To the list of women who have achieved success as explorers should be added that of Miss Dorothea Bate, whose explorations of the caves on the island of Cypress have resulted in adding much to the world's knowledge of the prehistoric animals of that island. Miss Bate has of late been devoting her attention to exploration in Crete, where her work has been rewarded in the discovery of a fossil dwarf elephant allied to those already known from Cypress and Malta, and a dwarf hippopotamus which is thought to belong to a new species. In some deposits of still greater antiquity the persevering explorer found fragments of a large elephant, which it is thought may be the form from which the dwarf elephants were evolved after the island was separated from the mainland, of which it had formed a part. Tied Herself to Him in a Car. Probably it was bashfulness more than tact that kept a young man silent on a Broadway car while a girl tied one of his sheostrings to one of hers. Ill at ease, knowing the burning interest the incident was exciting in the passengers on the opposite side he tried to pull his foot away gently, hoping the bow was not secure. But the young woman, who was a long way from being of the pocket Venus type, thought he was touching her foot in an attempt to attract her attention; so she turned upon him with a glare. The other passengers tittered and the young man, blushing furiously, felt he could stand it no longer. He sprang up and started for the door. Greatly to her surprise, the young woman's foot shot out into the aisle. She caught at the man's coat tail, for he could not be spared. At length, scarlet with confusion, they managed to divorce themselves.—New York Press. Do Women Gossip More Than Men? Honestly, one hardly thinks so. We women are always accused of being terrible gossips, and perhaps we do like to chat over our neighbor's affairs. This is no proof, however, that we are worse than our men folk in this regard. As a matter of fact they would appear to be quite as human as ourselves. Does not the husband know quite a lot about the private affairs of the other men in the office? Can we not find a sympathetic listener in father or brother when we would fain discourse about a mutual friend? Of course we can, for the simple reason that to take an interest in the ways and doings of others is human. How else could we learn the best method of ordering our own lives, for our years would hardly be sufficient to enable us to buy all our wisdom by experience. We must watch a little and learn. Yet one would fancy there is a little difference between the gossip of the stronger sex and our own, and here we may learn to improve our ways. For the comments of a man are usually dictated by a somewhat broader mind than we have cultivated, so show a little more forbearance, and are a little more kind. After all there is no real objection to gossip, and so long as we approach the subject with even an open mind, and stick to truth, we can do little harm. When we add a little, however, and allow ourselves to become spiteful that ill follows; wherefor we do well to remember that to talk is human, but to allow an unkind tongue to run away with us is anything but good or wise.—Florida Agriculturist. The Cost of It How shall a woman mend her ways that she may live and work and spend not all she earns? Go to the wise, thou boarder, and learn of her. Space costs money, so be content with a tiny room. Boarding houses are musty and fusty, so rent a tiny apartment all alone. Food, too, is expensive, so cater for yourself, at least for some meals of each day. And so shalt thou save money and invest in stocks and be rich in your old age. But now you will not be having a good time. When health goes and friends die and anxieties press hard on the weary brain, then you'll need the unavoidable, normal comradeship of sane friends and acquaintances, whose calm presence will "tease you out of thought." And unless you are a rare character, living alone will react in unwholesome ways upon your disposition. A woman who lives with her kind seldom grows peculiar and self-centred. It is the danger of solitude that one must think too much of one's own interests and tribulations. Hermit life is not very good for any one. But living costs, and how is the woman to earn money enough to pay the cost of it? Surely not in teaching, unless she be one of the exceptional women. To see the tiny hall bedroom on the fourth floor, from which a dainty woman emerges each morning in spotless garments of her own making—and perhaps even washed and ironed by her own active hands—to teach or struggle with business problems all day, is to gain a new respect for the self-supporting girl. What is the sweetness of independence that makes this young woman, for whom there waits a welcome in her father's home, and for whom there is no prospect for years, and perhaps ever, of such mere physical comforts in the way of warmth and food as all enjoy in that home, willing to be a wage earner? She pays the cost of it in fatigue and discouragement, in illness and premature gray hairs, but still she perseveres and refuses to go home. It is pitiful, yet fine, and yet it would not be finer if some power made it possible for the girl—the woman—to obtain a fairer return for her services? The woman who works condemns herself, in nine cases out of ten, to a life of celibacy. That is a part of the price she pays for working. For, deny it if you will, the wage earner acquires a self-reliance that is not attractive to men. And even if she craves companionship she cannot often afford it, even to fill the empty places in her heart and life. The girl's brother may marry at twenty if he will, and may surround himself with happy young things who call him "father," but the old maid sister must be content to go on earning no more than she started on. And so she pays the cost ten times over in lonely holidays and unsatisfied affection, and dreary life in her little top floor hall bedroom. And some day she dies, alone. F.D. in the New York Tribune. FRILLS OF FASHION Rabots are good, particularly those embroidered, although the lace ones are used. The girl with fresh, clear complexion is more than ever to be envied this season. This season the new fabrics and colorings are more prominent than the new lines. Lined parasols are to be used extensively, particularly with the more elaborate frocks. Many women prefer black parasols, and there are many new designs among the models in black. On some waists the undersleeves show to the wrist. Many wide folded girdles are seen on the new gowns. The well known Medicl collar is with us again, appearing now and then on a fashionable evening wrap. Hand-embroidered linen parasols are to reign supreme for ordinary wear. These are wonderfully fine and exquisitely worked. One sees many embroidered line, pique and also lace coat sets. As long as the collarless coat continues in vogue they will be used. White linen or batiste with coffee-colored embroideries compete for popularity with natural color linens having white embroideries. Classic lines prevail among evening coat models, and the sweeping lines and swaying feathers of the hats are in accordance with the wraps. Tulle ruches are in-vogue and they are universally becoming. These come in all colors, but all white seem to be the favorite. Brown, black and smoke come next, with some dark blue, light blue and pink. There are 350,000 people employed in the German mines. POPULAR SCIENCE Gold beaten out into a leaf 1-200,-000 of an inch in thickness becomes translucent, and the light rays penetrating it give it a greenish hue. The Prince of Monaco is again afloat on science bant. This time he has sailed for Spitzerbergen to prosecute his investigations as to the currents of the upper air. Glass bathtubs are being made in Germany and are said to have advantages over the metal and enamel, the principal one being that they are much cheaper. They are made in solid piece, and one can be turned out complete in about five minutes. Carbon dioxide is a colorless gas. It can be dissolved in cold water. It possesses a pungent smell and an acid taste. If you inhale it you die in a very short time from asphyxiation. Yet your lungs exhale it continually as long as life lasts. It is a product of respiration. Physicians use it carefully to cure whooping cough, asthma and hiccoughs.' Surgeons use it as a local anaesthetic. In solution—as in soda water—it is an excellent refrigerant and stomachic. It cools and tones the system. Cut glass makers explain why it is that there are frequent reports of cut glass suddenly breaking or crumbling on a table, shelf or sideboard in homes and elsewhere although the glass was not in use. They assert that whenever the tone of any cut glass article comes into contact with its responsive chord the life of the glass will go with the tone by which it is affected, and the glass collapses or crumbles. It is on record a famous opera singer could break out glassware by reaching high C in her singing. Although the production of crude petroleum in America is making enormous strides every year, the bulk of this comes from new territories which yield heavy oils containing little or no spirit. In fact, the fields which have in the past supplied the world with petroleum spirit and the high-class illuminating oils are, it is said, falling, so much so that the centre of production is no longer in the Eastern States, but lies equally between the Gulf States and California. Recent work in the mid-continental fields shows, however, that there is a prospect of the supply of high-grade oils being increased—Engineering. POSSIBILITIES OF THE TROLLEY. Strategy Proposed For the Conquest of the Suburban Traffic. Transportation by trolley has gone through three stages, and will in due time enter upon a fourth. The first of these was the intra-urban traffic, in which passengers were carried from place to place within the same city. The second stage was that of suburban traffic, which became necessary with the growth of outlying districts adjacent to the cities in which the lines had been laid. The third stage was the inter-urban traffic, begun originally to connect nearby cities, such as Minneapolis and St. Paul, and gradually extending further and further until cities of the first rank, such as New York and Boston, were connected by continuous lines. Projects are now under way to unite many more of the larger cities north of the Potomac and Ohio in a network of trolley connections. More progress has been made in the Central West in this phase of development than anywhere else in the country, with the possible exception of New England. The fourth stage might be described as that of the trunk line. Within the last few days an announcement has been made of a proposed air line electric route between New York and Chicago, reduced to a distance of 742 miles, the run to be made in ten hours. The Pennsylvania Railroad line between Chicago and New York is 912 miles. The electric air line route would thus cut off 170 miles, or 18.6 per cent. of the steam road distance. Assuming that an electric trunk line between Chicago and New York is financially and otherwise practicable, and this is open to question, the strategic value of such a project is such as possibly to have a far reaching effect on the whole trunk line situation. If electric lines could eventually parallel the trunk lines to the Atlantic and Gulf seaports their influence on the railroad situation might not stop with passenger traffic. They would begin to tell sooner or later on freight conditions. They would not simply figure as feeders of the railroads, as they now generally doing, but possibly reduce the ton mile rate of freight to a new low basis of cost. The average revenue per ton mile for the year ending June 30, 1903, was 0.762 cent, and for 1904, 0.780 cent. This is the lowest average cost of any railroad system in the world, but cannot be accepted as finality. The probable effect of electric line construction on railway rates would not only be found to influence through freights, but might be still more marked in its effect upon local freight rates. This is doubtless a far look ahead, but the development of electric power has been so rapid and marvelous that its possible future growth becomes a subject of fascinating interest.—The Wall Street Journal. The Manatee. A few years ago the manatee was thought to be near extinction, now it is often seen and is increasing. I am personally acquainted with about fifty specimens, a fair proportion of which are calves. Their shyness protects them from the rife of the tourist. A heavy penalty for the wanton destruction of the manatee deters some, and just a germ of public sentiment on the coast restraints others from seeking to kill them—Century. SULPHUR BRINGS HEALTH.

A Cleveland grocery has a long list of customers that have been helped in health by leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee. He says, regarding his own experience: "Two years ago I had been drinking coffee and must say that I was almost wrecked in my nerves. "Particularly in the morning I was so irritable and upset that I could hardly wait until the coffee was served, and then I had no appetite for breakfast and did not feel like attending to my store duties. "One day my wife suggested that inasmuch as I was selling so much Postum there must be some merit in it and suggested that we try it. I took home a package and she prepared it according to directions. The result was a very happy one. My nervousness gradually disappeared and to-day I am all right. I would advise, everyone affected in any way with nervousness or stomach troubles, to leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee." "There's a Reason." Read, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. The Pulpit A SERMON BY THE REV- TRA V. HENDERSON Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church, Hamburg avenue and Weirfield street, on the theme, "The Church's New Note," the Rev. I. W. Henderson, pastor, took as his text Mark 12:30: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength." He said: The adaptability of the Gospel is wonderful. In every epoch and in every age wherever the truth of God as it has been revealed in Jesus Christ has been preached, it has been found to be a fit guide for the leading of the minds and hearts and souls of men, a true solvent for the evils of the epoch and the age in which it has been declared. Always it has possessed a message that has been peculiarly adaptable to the individual and social iniquities and to the individual and social spiritual yearnings and necessities of the society to which it has been proclaimed. When in apostolic times the preciousness of budding human life was discounted and largely unrecognized the vitalizing Gospel of Jesus Christ revealed the beauty and the value of life itself. When in the ante-Reformation days the truth was endangered by the regrettable unwisdom of the ecclesiastical authorities of that day and time the compelling Gospel of Jesus opened wide the treasury of written truth that had been preserved in all its fragrance through the centuries and a new era for mankind began. As in those times so throughout Christendom it has been. Whatever may have been the sins, the spiritual yearnings, the mode of thought, the manner of expression, of any generation, the Gospel has always adapted itself and been found humanly adaptable to the sins, the yearnings, the thoughts, the terminology of the time in which it has been preached. Historians tell us that when in the days of Jonathan Edwards—days in which Christianity was largely legalistic in thought and speech—the fiery prophet of the living God wished to bring men into an open realization and confession of their sinfulness and their accountability to God he preached them sermons on the essential fact and necessity of Divine sovereignty; and with burning zeal declared to humanity, as God gave him opportunity to sow the seed of Hls truth, the wisdom of yielding self into the control of the Divine Ruler of the universe. Wesley preached the truth of the freedom of the will to a nation to whom freedom was life. "Whoseover will may come" was not all the Gospel then, nor is it all the Gospel now; but it is the lever of truth by which men in the days of that great revivalist were most quickly turned to love and serve God. We are face to face with another great world-wide revival. We are in the midst of it. It may not be recognized in some quarters and it may be blinked in others. Many men refuse to recognize it or they may fall in with insight to perceive it, but it is here more insightful than itself within the church it is expressing itself more largely perhaps outside of the church than within it. Men are Gospel-hardened to the messages of yesterday. Not that they disdain Christ, but because the proclamations of the past have lost, through perfunctory familiarity with them, the power to cut deep into their souls. The edge of the truth has become dulled for them. It needs to be brought to the tempering fire of a flaming truth that shall startle and attract mep. It must be laid hard on the wheel of a compelling Divine verity that shall put an edge on all that has become dulled. The preaching of Edwards will not do it, the oratory of Wesley will not do it, the burning messages of Finney will not do it, the declaration of God's love in the mouth of Moody will not do it. These are our places of departure. The truth that these men have declared, the men-we-are-after know. We must vitalize that dormant truth by firing a new message into their souls. We must warm the chilled embers of their own religious experiences with the blaze of a modern message that, having its inspirations in the historic Christ, shall be indwelt of His presence and energized of His spirit for a special ministry to-day. Men know that God is sovereign; they know that the human will is free, for are they not exercising it against God every day? They know that personal responsibility for personal sin or decency is inescapable; they know that God is love. We do not need to prove these things to them most insistently. What we need to do is to proclaim before them a new note from the old Anthem of God's revelation of His truth and Himself in Jesus Christ that shall find a correlative note in their own souls and lead them back into harmony with the age-long chorus of the redeemed of God. It is the business of the church of Jesus Christ to strike this note and to assume leadership. Granted that these remarks be true, what then shall be our new note? What note shall we strike? What word of God shall be our watchword? What text in the Scriptures shall epitomize our thought? About what idea shall our preaching revolve? In my humble judgment the text which shall epitomize the message of the new revival is that which is to be found as indicated in the book of Ephesus for Gospel according to St. Mark, the 12th ter and the 30th verse: "Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength." And the idea that shall crystallize our thinking shall be the conception of human love for God. As the basis of Moody's evangel was the love of God for mep, so, I verily believe, ere we shall do the work for Jesus that we desire to perform, we must declare, with insistency and with cumulative force, the dignity, the wisdom, the fairness, the efficacy of human love for God. 'The trouble with us to-day is not that we do not know that God loves us. The trouble is that men do not love God. The evil which afflicts us can only be cured by the exercise of a controlling and vitalizing love for God, such a love as shall mellow and beautify the souls of men. The iniquity which scourges us now and torments us would not be if, in the past, men had loved God. A thoroughgoing love for God will make evil conditions in this world as impossible as they will be in the new Jerusalem hereafter. The golden rule has failed to accomplish its mission, not because it is not a truth, but because it is only half a truth, as it is popularly used to-day. The second commandment is a safe guide for our rule and practice through life only when it is correlated with that primary commandment which our Lord enunciated at the logical centre of the moral and spiritual realities. The golden rule is not enough of a guide for us as we travel toward the undiscovered country. We must be more than moral if we desire happiness here and hope to enter into joy eternal hereafter. The golden rule must be vitalized by the living first principle of the kingdom of God. The trouble that have been altogether too well satisfied to do and be done by, as God never intended they should. See for a moment how this half work works in practice. You and I are on the Stock Exchange. You are satisfied that if by trickery or falsification or by the danger of dangerous reports, true or untrue, I can do ruin you, I may do so, provided I afford you equal opportunity to do the same to me. You and I are trading horses. It is all right for you to fleece me with my eyes open so long as I am permitted to fleece you in the same manner. You and I are in business. It is proper for me to steal your trade, provided you have an equal opportunity to steal mine. Of course this meets a modern interpretation of the golden rule, which says, 'Whatsoever ye are willing that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them.' But how grievously violates the spirit of Christ's law. The principle of the business world too largely is this, that it is all right for one dog to eat the other, because they have agreed that it shall be fair to play the industrial and commercial game that way. "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," we are told. But when this law is separated from the correlated truth that Christ declared, and transplanted alone into the lives of multitudes of men to-day, we understand what an awful half-truth it has become. In all seriousness, I do not desire that some men shall love me in the way they love themselves, outside of Christ. I do not care to practice the golden rule as to-day it is promulgated in our social life, outside of Jesus Christ, or to have it so practiced upon me. For some men have no comprehension of their own value and the demands of their own integrity upon their lives; and how, therefore, can they appreciate the value of the lives, the minds, the hearts, the souls, the peace and purity and happiness of their fellow men? Some men have such a small estimate, seemingly, of themselves, judged by the way they treat themselves, that we should be untrue to ourselves did we not resent like treatment by them of us. Some men have such a debased idea concerning what is right for men to do unto them that they cannot be expected to know, unless the grace of God inform them, what they should do to their fellows. The message for our own time, the appeal of to-day, must be based on the text I have read. Its theme must be the love of man for God. Loving God, we shall conserve the interests of our own personalities and gain a sense of our own God and to the Lord. Loving God, we shall know the value of our brethren. Do you suppose for an instant that men would have the audacity to publish declarations that they were only worth a paltry couple of hundred millions if they really loved God as God means they should? Do you suppose for an instant that they would boast that they can buy legislatures and judges and the government, if they loved God as Jesus loved Him? If we loved God as Jesus means we should, do you suppose that we would stand for child labor, with all its horrors and cruelties; for the calon as it is, with all its fruitage of vice and crime and misery and poverty and despair? If we loved God as Jesus means we should, have you the slightest suspicion that we would permit women by the thousands to be sent into the brothel in economic self-defense? If men loved God, would it be thinkable that they would murder and rape, and steep themselves in drunkenness, in hostility and crime? Do you think that if we could get men to love God, they would not have again a lively consciousness of His sovereignty as Edwards declared it, and of their free will to do the right as Wesley declared it, and of their personal responsibility as Finney declared it, and of their indebtedness to divine love as Moody declared it? I think not. The new note of the church will be the love of men for God. For it is the second logical step in the scheme of redemption in Christ. God in Christ hath already loved men, and now loves them. It is for them to reciprocate His love. The new message must be the central truth of the kingdom of God on its manward side. We must lead men to love God. Then shall we reach them. Getting men to love God, we shall transform the individual character; we shall regenerate society; we shall make wars to cease and all nations throughout all the earth to dwell in righteous and godly fraternal relationships. The task is great. But it is not impossible. The means and the method we shall discuss at another time. But when we shall have gotten men to love the living God, then shall we hear a voice out of Heaven saying unto us, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, their God."

It is astonishing how great a change a few years of married life often make in the appearance and disposition of many women. The freshness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a peach which is rudely handled. The matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo of the charmming malden. There are two reasons for this change, ignorance and neglect. Few young women appreciate the shock to the system through the change which comes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal with the unpleasant pelvic drains and weaknesses which too often come with marriage and motherhood, not understanding that this secret drain is robbing the check of its freshness and the form of its fairness. As surely as the general health suffers when there is dearmement of the health of the delicate womaning organs, so surely when these organs are established in health the face and form at once witness to the fact of real comfortness.

San Diego, Cal.—With nearly 1000 enraged Chinese and 200 maddened Russians rushing in mobs at each other, thirsting for blood and a fight to the death while a helpless crew of half a hundred friendly Chinese and three lonely English officers stood between the murderous assaults in an effort to stop the fearful carnage only to be set upon by both forces, while a crowded ship rolled wildly in a fierce storm—such was the awful experience on board the British ship Maori King, which sought San Diego Harbor, forced to run for refuge here in order to prevent what appeared to be certain wholesale slaughter. As a result of the race war six Russians and two Chinese lie dead and more than 200 are dangerously wounded from knife thrusts. According to Captain J. W. Duncan, in command of the stricken ship, the Maorik King left Vladivostok with 921 Chinese, 417 Russians, a crew of fifty-six Chinese, who had long been in the service of the boat and their officers; Captain Duncan, First Officer T. S. Wernon and Second Officer T. H. Oxley. It appears that a Chinese contractor, Lee Sun Sal, lured the Chinese on board the ship from the vicinity of Harbin on a promise to land them in San Francisco. When two days out he told them a mistake had been made, and the boat would land them in Namibia. On learning of this deception the Chinese broke out in mutiny, chased the officers of the ship into their calins, attacked those of the Chinese crew who remained faithful and then started a race war on the Russians. The officers finally fought their way out, and, after shooting a score of the Chinese, regained control of the ship. All of the horrors of multiy rampant with a horde of rabid coolies of the lowest and bestest type engaging in deadly combat all hours of the day and night for nearly a month, were intensified by the fifth of the passengers and the rotten decks, unwashed and putrefying with a thick coating of offal, blood and foul garbage. Disease broke out among the Chinese, making the situation worse. As they refused to allow the surgeon near them over a hundred dived like rats and were thrown overboard. "It was a real hell ship," according to First Officer T.S. Vernon, "and I have seen some pretty tough lots in my time. "Just a week ago we were caught in a frightful storm. Even with a free crew we would have had great difficulty in riding her out. But with a row going on between the Russians and the Chinese it was awful. The propeller shaft smashed through its steel case and it took us two days to repair it. All of this time we were beaten to and fro in a raging storm, the waves washing clear over the decks. But the Chinese and Russians were bent on murdering each other, and the battle still went on. Then the Chinese called for the life of Lee Sun Sal, the contractor. "During the blackest night, the Chinese, most of them stripped bare to the brown bodies silk and shining, the brown bodies silk, surged back and forth, nearly the sand of them, brandishing long knives and screaming hoarsely in their hideous gibberish like so many friends on Walpurgis night. "They rushed at the Russians again and again, cutting and slashing and stabbing. The officers were simply helpless." British Vice-Consul Allen Hutchinson has appealed to the military authorities, and orders have been received from Washington that as many soldiers as necessary to quell the mutineers be detailed from Fort Rosecrans, Captain Duncan and the company in a guard to company the Maori King to Guayamas, as the Chinese cannot be landed on this side.

WRECK OF SHIP IN WHICH EARL SOUGHT BURIED COCOS TREASURE Noble Patron of Gold Hunters and His Wife Narrowly Escape With the Crew of the Attiquin—Golden Goddess With Mandle of Gems Still Unrescued. New Orleans, La.—The Anselm, just arrived in port, brought the crew of the steamer Attiquin, a private vessel belonging to the Earl Fitzwilliam. The Attiquin was a large vessel, built after the style of an auxiliary cruiser. She cleared from Bristol, England, stopped at Tampa and Belize, British Honduras, which point she left for a voyage around Cape Horn, her destination being Cocos Island, off the west coast of Central America, where it was the intention of the Earl, her owner, to search for treasure. The vessel was beached and wrecked off the coast of Honduras and is a complete loss. The owner and crew escaped narrowly with their lives. The Earl and Countess Fitzwilliam went to Belize, where they were cared for by the British colonial authorities, while the crew were sent to New Orleans. They will be forwarded from here to New York. This is the second expedition sent out by Earl Fitzwilliam, within the past three years to uncover the fabled treasure on Cocos island that has come to grief. In the latter part of 1904 the steamer Veronique, which was chartered for the purpose by Earl Fitzwilliam, carried the Earl, Admiral Palliser, retired, of the British navy; Colonel Carter, of the British army, and several other friends of Earl Fitzwilliam to the famous treasure island off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. The Earl stopped at Jamaica and took on two expert miners and sixteen negro laborers, with a mass of equipment and supplies. The steamer finally got to Cocos after a rough trip around the Horn. When the party got to the island an old German, who was about the only resident of the place, told the Englishmen that if they looked in the right place they could find 6,000,000 pounds of treasure and a golden statue of a goddess robed in a costume of royal gems. The German said that he guessed the statue was buried under a cliff that overlooked the sea. The miners prepared to blow up the cliff and get at the statue in that way, but a premature blast blew the top of the cliff down on top of them. Those who escaped went to work to dig out their comrades, assisted by the Earl. There was a landslide, which buried the Earl and his men in the sand, and gave him a fractured skull. A dozen of the men were sent to the American Hospital at Ancon, Panama. As soon as the Earl was able to travel he and his friends went back home. Earl Fitzwilliam was born in Canada and was the oldest son of Viscount Milton, M. P., and Laura; daughter of Lord Charles Beauclerk. He married a daughter of the Marquis of Zetland. He succeeded his grandfather, the sixth Earl Fitzwilliam, in 1902. He carried dispatches for the army headquarters staff during the Boer war, for which he received the Order of Distinguished Merit. He is Master of the Wentworth Hounds and the Wicklow Harriers. He has vast estates in Yorkshire and in County Wicklow, Ireland, which are said to aggregate 115,000 acres, from which he derives an income of more than $600,000 a year. He is one of the wealthiest peers of the empire. The Cocos treasure is supposed to have got there in 1820, when there was a big revolt in Peru and the wealthy citizens at Callao took their valuables out and buried them on the island. While they were going back to Peru a sloop of war sunk all on board but two men. The story runs that these two men finally got back and picked up $7500 worth of treasure, but on the way back one of them was taken sharks. The other fitted up ship at Panama for treasure hunting purposes, but was arrested and narrowly escaped being executed. Then he died a natural death. Following the funeral services the contents of James Henry Smith's will were made known in New York City. His estate is estimated at $25,000,000, of which the widow receives $3,000,000. Two nephews are the principal beneficiaries. The panic in stocks in March cost the florists of New York City half a million,dollars in lessened salts during the week before Easter. FERTILIZER TRUST Will Once More Be Target for Your Uncle Sam. TO. RENEW THE ATTACK New Indictments Are Ordered and This Time Individuals Will Be Tried in States in Which They Reside. "A Washington special says: The government has decided to renew the cases against the so-called fertilizer trust before the United States district court at Richmond, Va. About a year ago the government secured the indictment and arrest of a large number of persons residing in different parts of the country on a charge of evading the Sherman anti-trust law and sought to secure the removal to Nashville, where suit was being begun, of such defendants as resided outside of the state of Tennessee. The Virginia defendants, however, contended that, before they could be removed from the state, they should be given preliminary hearings to determine the sufficiency of the evidence on which their removal was asked. The court sustained the government on this point, but on an appeal taken before the United States supreme court about two months ago found against the government, but without prejudice to its case, and ordered that the defendants be discharged. The department of justice has now decided to try the individual defendants in the states in which they reside, and will almost immediately proceed to secure the indictment and rearrest of the Virginia parties to the alleged combination. Other cases and arrests will, it is said, be made in Tennessee and other states. It is said there are thirty-one fertilizer companies in the alleged combination, and that originally twenty-four individuals were indicted and arrested. FURNITURE COMBINE HIT. Eleven Companies . Assessed Heavy Fines for Violation of Law. In court at Chicago Monday, Judge Landis fined F. A. Holbrook, of the American Seating company and the A. H. Andrews company $5,000 each, and nine other furniture companies amounts ranging from $500 to $2,000, for violation of the anti-trust laws in forming a conspiracy in restraint of trade. The defendants pleaded guilty. Judge Landis preceded the delivery of sentence by scathing denunciation of the methods adopted by the church and school furniture trust, declaring that the punishment fixed by law is inadequate to fit the crime. "When I reflect upon the methods resorted to," said Judge Landis, "I wonder wwy men engage in such business to get money. Almost any man, I should think, would prefer to work in a ditch at $1.50 a day. That is unquestionably a more dignified method." Judge Landis said that Holbrook acted as a sort of clearing house for the combine, which called itself the Prudential Club. Holbrook apportioned the contracts and by means of "dummy" bids, members of the combine avoided competition. Judge Landis said the comparative poverty of the smaller firms of the combine made it his duty not to inflict the maximum punishment, as they might be forced into bank-runtime. "To keep them in independent operation," said Judge Landis, "is the only hope consumers have against the big concerns. If we were to put them out of business the Andrews and American Seating companies would have no difficulty in taking full control." PASSENGER TRAIN .WRECKED.

WANT IMMEDIATE ACTION Only Twenty Per Cent of Members In Favor of "Standing Pat." Batch of Strong Resolutions Passed at Closing. The National Association of Manufacturers of the United States went on record at their closing session in New York Wednesday as in favor of a revision of the tariff at the earliest opportunity, and the negotiation of more reciprocal treaties. A lively debate preceded the vote, which was upon the acceptance of the report of the committee on tariff and reciprocity. The committee based its recommendations on a poll of the 3,000 members of the association. Of the total number replying 55 per cent declared for immediate revision, while 20 per cent expressed a "hands off" sentiment. An effort to table the report was defeated, and it was adopted as reported. The mass of resolutions adopted by the association at the wind-up included endorsement of the open shop, industrial education, the improvement of the consular service, commendation of the national river and harbor congress, urging the president to withdraw approval of the new, German treaty until testimony can be obtained regarding the effects upon domestic labor and industry likely to follow the customs administrative changes, and opposition to all illegal combinations, either of capital or labor. This last resolution was given, added force by the convention's declared intention to raise $1,500,000 to carry out a campaign of education, concerning dictatorial combinations. Of this campaign of education, President VanCleave, following the closing session, said: "We shall endeavor to assist in educating the public in industrial righteousness. We shall be just as ready to oppose unlawful acts by combinations of labor. We believe ininations of law. We believe in industrial liberty and we are opposed to all forms of individual oppression. And, if anybody undertakes to compel any one to submit to such oppression, we shall endeavor to assist the party so assailed." The association re-elected James W. VanCleave of St. Louis, president, and F. H. Stillman of New York treasurer. The convention closed Wednesday night with a banquet. WORK OF TRAIN WRECKERS. Rails Were Drawn and Flyer Tumbled from High Trestle. Train No. 20, one of the Southern Pacific coast line train, was wrecked at West Glendale, ten miles north of Los Angeles, at 12:30 Wednesday morning. The wreck was the deliberate work of train wreckers. One man was killed and twenty-two injured, three probably fatal. In accomplishing the wreck of the train, a devilish ingenuity had been exercised. At a point on a trestle over the Arroyo Seco, the fish plates and bolts of two connecting rails had been removed, and in the apertures, where the bolts were taken, strands of heavy wire were fastened at the end of each rail. It was evident that some person had hidden on a hillside close to the trestle, had pulled the wire as the train approached and spread the rails outward toward the edge of the trestle.

If there are some causes preventing the compliance to the law notice should have been at once sent to the Grand Secretary, and to this office. Every brother in the jurisdiction is hereby deputized to urge every Worshipful Master in his neighborhood to send in the returns of his lodge at once. Give this matter prompt attention even if special communications have to be called. Don't wait to bring your returns to the Grand Lodge with you—that is not the law. Send them in. Let there be such lodge pride that every brother will see to it that his lodge makes the best report along all lies. Let the returns now fall like rain in the office of Our Grand Secretary.

Langulishing and sobbing in her cell in the BlbB county jail in Macon and wondering whether the great state of Georgia will condemn her to death at the end of a hangman's rope, Mrs. Sallie Freeney sits day by day waiting for her trial to take place in Dodge county. And while she waits and wonders, her attorneys are preparing to make one of the most strenuous battles for a woman's life ever waged in the courts of Georgia. On March 9, last, the crime for which Mrs. Freeney must stand trial before a Dodge superior court, jury was committed. At least, the state of Georgia says it was a crime. Mrs. Freeney, through her sobs and tears, graphically tells how she dealt out death to protect her honor. On the date in question, W. P. Harrell, one of the most prominent and wealthiest citizens of Dodge county, visited Mrs. Freeney's house. The next known was that Harrell was dead, and Mrs. Freeney, crying and hysterical, admitted that she fired the fatal shot, and was arrested and lodged in jail. The dead man had many friends. Mrs. Freeney was poor and her friends were numbered among those of her own circumstances. The killing created a great sensation, and the many friends of Harrell were incensed. Mrs. Freeney was placed in jail, indicted, and later transferred to the Bibb county jail. The trial promises to be bitterly fought and sensational. The story that this accused woman tells is one which, if true, shows that she killed Harrell for that reason, for which Harry Thaw says he killed Stanford White. Mrs. Freeney delares that she shot to protect herself from Harrell. At the time of her arrest, Mrs. Freeney, who is 32 years old, was attractive, but the three months behind prison bars, with the worry and the thought that she may go to the gallows has told upon her. There are rings under her eyes and her cheeks are marked by a sickly pallor. His Widow Under Arrest on Suspicion of Poisoning Him. At Raleigh, N. C., Tuesday, the body of C. R.
