Chas, G. Edwards, Congressman, First +Congressional District of Georgia, Sa- --yannah, 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, znd would be pleased to have you name the date and hour. If you will _ pardon me, I would suggest that about 5:45 p. m. is the hour best suited for aus, Yours respectfully, . L. M. POLLARD, Chairman Committee. Would Receive Whites. Congressman Edwards’ letter declin- ag to meet the committee follows: Savannah, Ga, May 18; 1907.—L. M. Pollard, Chairman of Committee, Asranch No. 378, N. A. L. C., City. Sirr 1 am in receipt of’your favor of 17th instant, stating that “a committee trom Letter Carrier Branch 378, N. A. LC, desires to have an audience” with me at an early a date as possi- ‘your committee {s composed entirely of colored members. I mst decline to give audience to your committee. 1 will be glad to sive an audience to a white commit- tee of your association at any time., The following morning, Mrs. Bald- ‘win, one of the leading white ladies of the city, -had the following in. 'serted in {he News: Editor Morning News: If Mr. Ed? wards is correctly quoted in his let- ter in the Morning News of Sunday -morning, his action in refusing au “audience to a committee from the body of colored postmen of Savan- nah is unwarranted and unjust. Does he not represent these men in Con- ‘gress? Have they not a fight to ask an Interview? The: cojored postmen of the city ~are a most praiseworthy and intelll- gent class of colored eitizens. They ‘ure sober, educated, industrious meu, respectable and -respected, who at- tend to their duties to the entire sat- isfacifon’ of the community. The attitude of the congressman to- wirds them should be one of com: ‘mendation and interest, We want the Apiendship of our good colored citi- zens;, We, want them to feel our in- terest and real desire to encourage: -and help them. Such a course as Mr. -Eawards has taken is calculated to breed ilfeeling and resentment; per- sisted im, it leads straight to racial antagonism and riots. It should be his pleasure, as well as his duty, to meet these men with cordial sympathy “umd do his best to show that Savannah knows how to appreciate thelr faith- ful and intelligent services. _ MRS, GEORGE J. BALDWIN. _ This was followed by interviews alyng the same line by Mr, W. W- Mackall, Major W. B.;Stephegs and the following from Judge Adams: Savannah, Ga., May 20, 1907. _To the Editor of the Savannah Press “—Sir: Permit me to express’ my Gearnest approval of the ‘communtca- "Aion in today’s News from Mrs, Bald- win coudemnatory of the attitude of The congressman from this district -zowards a commiltee representing the mail carrers, who desired an audience swith him. *{ deeply regret the writing and the ‘-publication of the letter from the coa- gressman. I must state, with all pos- gible emphasis, that "It does not prop- verly represent the element in our . community which Insists upoa the fair «ind courteous treatment “of all men, regardless of thelr color. | “ ‘The matter involved is important and is above and beyord all merely 7 personal considerations.. The con- ggressman occuples an official-and, pre- <emaanpnde Qh cies WE: eae eee ne resentative. 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.ot blame for these unfortunate relations. The committee, which addressed a polite communication to the congress- man, represented a body of _intelll- gent, useful and respectable citizens. They did not expect to make a social visit, or to do anything that Involv- ed in any way the ethnological or social question, They were employes of the government The congressman is 2 national representative. They desired to present for his considera- tion some claim that they thought they had"upon the government as to wages, or some other matter which concerned them as government em- ployes. They had a clear right to a hearing. Their rebuff does not tend to allay .race. prejudice and its miani; fest evils, It does not “advance our reputation among fair-minded and just people of other sections. Some of the great monarchs of the world havé often graciously granted av- diences, upon their petitions, to their hrriblest 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 conde- scend 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 individ- ual, elevation than the doing of simple justice and exhibiting to all men, under all circumstances, kindness and courtesy, the more quickly will race ar* other troubles be scttled wisely and permanently. We. can never demonstrate racial superiority by any other course. I am sir, SAMUEL B, ADAMS. ‘The Evening Pregs editorially says: Audience Should Be Granted. The Press publishes this afternoon 4 communication from Judge Samuel B. Adams dissenting from the att! tude of the congressman from this district toward the committee rep- resenting the mail carriers who de- sired 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 employes who have been universally active and accommodating in the dis- charge of their duty as mail carriers. Our understanding fs that they only asked a hearing and should have been given that. The granting of such a favor would have been simple jus- tice and anact of kindness and court- esy which would have been entirely worthy of a congressman and a mem- ber of the superior race. A congress- man is a, national representative of the people and we believe that the people would have suggested the granting of the audfence 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 strain- ed. Those belonging to the white race, especially the representative men of that race, will see to it that every advantage Is given to the Ne gro to improve his condition and to present his grievances. We pre in- elined to think that Cohgressman Ed- wards is misnyedstood in his attitude in this matter, or that he had not.se- rlously considered the question which coufronted him, A‘ committee ,from any number or from any class.of his constituents would” be entitled to be received and to present their peti- tion$ or to alr their grievances. They selected the congressman from thelr district as the proper for reaching the department, and this method should be “encouraged. There wag, 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 follawine intervtec* in Sita oc a SL ee a ‘slight upon the government: * Cuj. Gearge A. Mercer, president o! 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 employe: to the federal government. He said that it had placed the congressmav in a-bosition where he could not hope to ask for any favors for’ his constit- ueney. , “Tyis point I desire to bring out strongly,” sald Colonel Mercer. “Congressman Edwards occupies a public position and represents a large number ,of voters, His time’ 4s not like that of a private citizen, but de- mands can be made upon it that could never be made upon a man not in public life. “He is the congressman. These letter carriers, if they had a griev- ance, or if they wished to bring any- thing to the attention of the federal government through whom could they do su unless through the mefyber of cougress from their district. He ‘should have at Teast received them. But he refused and dtd 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 ony federal govern- ment; ifhe desires to secure any favors for this district-he has placed him- self In an unusual.position from which to ask them. I consider the letter of Mrs. George J, Baldwin a very sensi- ble one. She states the case well. However, I want to call attention to the fact that the United States gov- ernment has been slighted by this action of our congressman.” Mayor Tiedéman 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 wds Mr. Ed- -wards’ duty to have recived and heard the committee, without regard ‘to their color.” | The Morning News editorially said: Congressman Edwards’ position in the matter of the petitian of the mall carriers for a conference with him is untenable, as he will probably come to thateconelusion on further consider- ation, The mail carriers are good cifYzens, taxpayers, wage earners and aren worthy of respectful considera- ‘tion, They are residents of this dis- thict and therefore Mr. Edwards’ con- stituents. In so far as their right, to a hearing, is concerned, it makes no difference what the color of their 'skius may be, whether white, black, ‘bine or green, Their petition for a hearing was properly and -respectfully addressed and metited a (return in kind. If Mr, Edwards hopes to be of any benefit in congress to his district le will have to learn that it 1s abso- lutely- necessary for him to deal fair- ly and justly with all men, irrespect- tive of race, and to understand that as a representative in congress he is a servant of the people whose best in- terests he must ever keep in mind. Incidents of the kind under consider- ation certainly do not promote the best interests of the people. It is sheh acts as that of Congress- man Edwards that help to keep the race feeling intense. The fact must We recognized that the Negro Js in this country to stay and that It Is de? sirable that there should be peace and good will between the two races. The easiest and surest.way to - insure good witl and peace is for the superior race to treat the inferlor one with absolute justicg, The Negro—at last the good Negré—responds promptly to Just treatment, and he will eventually sce to it that the worthless Negro also responds. 3 The white civic league met on Tues- day night and aiso paid respects to this Inexperienced and autocratic ‘eon- sressman. 7 RELIGION. AND RAGE PROBLEM Touched Upon In Report of Presby- : terlan Church Committee, ‘The report of the, colored evapgeli- zation committee of the Southern Presbyterian cfiurch, made to the forty-seventh annual assembly of that body in session at Birmingham, Ala, 1s of significance as placing“that great denomination in line with those lead- ers of southern thought who have ar rived at the conclusion that religion offers a feasible solution of the race problem In tie soyth. ‘The report of the committee, as summarized, is as follows: “In the clamor of many opinions there is fast crystallizing a wellde- fined belief that religion is the prime Tactor'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 New Immigrants are Well Treated in the South, - INVESTIGATION, 1S MADE "Baron Mencheur, Belgian Represen- tative at Washington, Makes a Special Tour and Gives . Out Good Report. | -Baron Moncheur, the Belgian min- ister, who has just returned to Wash- ington from a visit to South Caro- lina, where he went tq investigate the condition of the Belgians who came over on the Wittekind, finds the south a good place for his peo- ple. - Ho finds, after ten days of investt- gation, that the* reports of dissatis- faction have been exaggerated, and that the Belgian immigrants are very well satisfiéd 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 thit lower prices of com- moditles balanced lower wages. In°the party brought over by Com- misstoner E. J, Watson, of South Carolina, last Winter there were about 300 Belgians, whib are now employed 4n the cotton mills, and in~various trades in Sputh Carolina. Since then South ‘Carolina and other southern states have sought to induce new im- migrants, and particularly Belglans, 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 bad very lit- tle complaint to make of the treat- ment which they are receiving. Of course, there area few who are not satisfled, but they are very few. I visited them-at their vork in the cot- ton mills, and they told me that they were pleased with their labors and the treatment given them. "I haye no criticism to make of the work they are doing in the mills. It fs 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 car- penters earn better’ wages. Those wko come over and follow these trades are experlenced men, and good, steady workmen. They find plenty of work to do, and are paid well, as I have found, 4 “It would be a great deal better If there were a good-sized colony in tho state, such as there is near Roch- ester, N. ¥. Our people there are getting along nicely, and are satis- fied, and it {s ‘particularly because a number of them are together.” Concerning those who left South Carolina dissatisfted, Baron Moncheur sald that the number was not very large. “Those who left would proba-| bly not have been satisfied under any circumstances,” he said. “The propor- tion that has left South Carolina dis- satisfied is not any greater than that which has-left other states. We have had some complaints from the immi- grants who went there, but not many. On the whole, they have gone to work there and are contented.” Several reports have been circulat- ed since the Baron returned to Wash- ington to the effect that he was ad- vising, or had advised his pedple against going to the south on account of the negroy Baron Moncheur said that this was entirely erroneous. “L see no reason why the negro should deter anybody. My observation is tle white people and the negro in the south do not associate, elther so- elally 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 ne groes In the cotton ficlds and else- where on the fam can worl for | cheaper wages than Gur people, and) heneo our people could scarcely ex pect to comipete 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 pedple not to gd south, you may say for me that it ts’ simply not sa I have never advised arything of the kind any-guere.” Census of District of Columbia. | A police-census just completed at Washington gives the population ‘of the District of Columbia as 329,591; of whom 96,185 are negroes, 2 NE feu ou FT te. toa rk. oe GOULDS ARE AT OUTS. Deserted Wife of Howard Drags Her Hubby Into Divorce Court Un. * der Salacious Allegations. + At New York Monday, Mrs, How- ard Gould filed against her husband, the milllonaire yachtsman, a suit for separation, one of her most aston- ishing alegatlons being that because of his personal habits he Is an hm- Proper pérson to live with, The com- plaint is highly sensational, charging Gould with consortuny with numer: ous women. Almost 2s astounding as, the actual beginning of the already famous di- yorce case are developments fn the investigation into the use of police headquarters detectives by Howard Goitld against Mrs. Gould. , District Attorney Jerome will consult with Police Commissioner Bingham, going over all of the evidence thus far ad- duced 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 irs. Gould. Mrs. Gould's, complaint gainst her husband covers every one of the four grounds on which it is possible to se- cure a separtion. Under the first charge, that he Is not a proper per- son to lve 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 aban- doned het. Since last July Mrs. Gould has beén llving at the St. Regis, rec- ognized for some time as the city home of the Goulds, and her husband has not once visited her, | * |- Non-support is the third allegtaion. In September last Gould is sald to have discontinued providing Mrs. Gould with funds, and until very re cently she is said not to have re ceived a single penny from him. Under the fourth charge, that of cruel and inhuman, treatment, may specifications ure made, one of which, is that Gould, at the time of tmeir separation, sent notices to all of the trades people with whom he has been dealing’ iustructing them not to give her any credit if they had any idea of collecting their accounts from him. This was at a tme when he was trying to foree her to accept his terms in the financial feature of thelr sep- aration, and she charges that in this way he endeavored to compel her to submit to his wishes. La Another of the specifications is titat he has humiliated her, constanuly surrounding her with detectives, caus- ing her mail to be opened and sub- fecting her to many similar annoy- ances. 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 :nany indignities heaped upon her was the fact that while she was living at the St. Re gisthotel her husband was openly pay- ing attentions to another woman liv- ing at the same hotel. “Mrs. Gould knows that her hus pand is worth at least $20,000,000," sald a friend of the lady, “afd that pe has an assured income of $1,000, 900 a year, and she asks for alimony at the rate of $100,000 a year during he time the case is In court. At the ime of the trial she will make a jemand for permanent allmony of $180,000 a year.” Counsel for Mrs. Howard Gould sald that the ‘sult will be tried in pen court, adding: oo “Dirs, Gould desires that full pub- icity be given to it, and she refuses © spare any one engaged in the plot ainst her.” : Captures Ten of His Fellow Prison- ers Who Had Escaped, Fourteen additional , misdemeanor convicts have escaped from the Sum ter county, Georgia, chaingang, mak ing a round total of about thirty es: caping recently, and costing the coun: ty thousands of dellars. The fourteen escaping disarmed two, of the three guards, while the third guard ts xe ported to have fled the scene, the con- victs 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 fel Jow prisoners, and returued them to camp at the point of his’ gun, after- wards chaining them. This brilliant feat of a negro con vict is applauded by, the citizens of Americus. The four convicts who finally got away had all escaped previousiy, and were recaptured within the past month at a.cost of $500 to the county in rewardsand expenses. - OKLAHOMA HELD UP Republicans Datermined Not to Admit New State. WOULD BE INADVISABLE For Political Reasons Hold-Up May Be Successfully Carried Out. Plan is to Turn Down Newly . Adopted Constitution, MSCPSSS VONSETUEON, | A Washington special says: The pious unction with which the republi- can leaders are proceeding in the at- tempt to withhold statehood from Oklahoma and the high moral grounds on which they rest their ob- Sections are really impressive. In the enabling act, passed by con- gress and approved by President Roosevelt on June 16, 1906, it was set forth that there should be five congressional districts in the terri tory of Oklahoma and Indian Terri- tory, when they were admitted to the unloh as one state. This ‘would give Oklahoma five representatives in. congress and two seuafers, thus eu- titling her to cast seven votes in the electoral college. Of course the advocates of admis- sion were reusonably 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 peo- ple was abundant proof to republicans that Oklahoma was “undesirable.” They were trying to convince Presi- dent Roosevelt also that it would not be wise to permit these seven dem- ocratie electoral votes to unfavorably complicate the situation when a re- publican president is to be elected next year. The men who were groom- ing themselves to be republican sen- ators and representatives are sure it would not be wise; it might be dis» astrous. The constitution, of the new state,. framed by democrats who were duly ‘and regularly elected by the people to draft their fundamental law, is be- ing carefully and painfully scrutinized in the search for flaws. If a teennt- cality can bey discovered which will furnish grounds for exclusion there will be no need to resort to the leg- fslative club, which ts held by the republican majority in both houses. Then, too, the high moral grounds can be maintained. 7 In the act of congress making ‘pro- vision for the admission of the new state it was provided that the fol- lowing {éatures should be incorporated in the new constitution: “Perfect toleration of religious sen- timent. , “Prohibition of traffic in alecholic lquors for 2 perlod 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, 1908. “Prohibition of polygamous and plural marriages. ' “Release of the public lands within the state to the United States, “payment of the debts of the~ter- ritory of Qklahoma by the state“of Oklahoma, “Establishment of public schools, al- jowing zeparate schools ‘for white and negro children. “The right of franchise unrestricted pn account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." There is also -a further injunction hat a republican form of government must be secured. The 110 delegates to the conven- ion adopted a document which they relieved encompassed all the instruc- fons given thgm by congress and la- er by the president on the subject of jlm crow cars and the control of corporations. -This done, the aemo- rats made auch disposition of the egislative districts that the republl- ans claim ir will be impossible for hem ever to elect a, United States eee SCHMITZ DOWN AND OUT. ‘Felco, Mayor Relifquishes 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.

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. The Savannah Trilune SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1907.

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.

Suche women not only drive hus- bands from home but are wholly unit to govern children. Thejlls of women act like a fire brand@ipon the nerves. consequently seven-tenths of tho nervous prostra- tlon, nervous despondency, the “blues”, sleeplessness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some organie derangement. Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness alternating with ex- trome irritability ? Do you suffer rom pains in the abdominal region, backache, bearing-down painsnerrous dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost continually cross and snappy? If 50, our nerves are in a shattered con- Gition and youcre threatened with nervous prostration. Proof is mouumental that nothing 4m the world is better for nervous troubles of women than Tydia E.

How to Dress the Hair. eae ae eet ne siere ot a woman fs her halr, 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, rho continued: “My, gxperience is that very few women’ realize the extent to which their looks may.be improved by the way in which thelr tresses are ar- ranged. ; “As a generalrule, indeed, the ears should be hidden, for, curious as it may seém, the large proportion of fentinine ears are not ‘at all pretty. “By studying the pecullaritics of her face, aud with perhaps a little et- pert advice, a woman may add great- ly to such attractions as she possesses by wearing her halr accordingly." Pittsbars Press. Sovatien Tne: Seton ‘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 knowl- edge of the prehistoric animals of that {sland. Miss Bate has of late been devoting her attention to explor- ation in Grete, where her work bes been rewarded in the discoyery 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 stifl greater antiquity the persevering ex- plorer found fragments of a large ele- phant, which ft is thought may be the form from which the dwarf elephants were evolved after the istand was sep- arated from the mainland, of which it had formed a part. ‘Tied Herself to Him in a Car.

But the young woman, who was a long way ffom being of the pocket Venus type, thought he was touching her foot in an attempt to attract her at- tention; so she turned upon him with a glare. The other passengers tit- tered and the young man, blushing furiously, felt he could stand it no longer. He sprang up and started for the door. Greatly to her sur- prise, the young woman's foot shot out into the aisle. She caught at tho man’s coat tail, for he could not be spared. At length, scarlet ‘with con- fusion, they managed to divorce themselves.—New York Press, De Women Gossip More Than Men? Honestly, one hardly thinks so. We women are always being accused of being terrible gossips, and perhaps we do like to chat over our neigh- bor’s affairs, This is no proof, how- ever, that we are worse than our mea folk in this regard. As a mat- ter of fact they would appear to be quite as human as ourselves. Docs not the husband know quite a lot about the private affairs of the other men in the office? Can we not find a sympatheti¢ stener in father or brother when we would fain dis- course 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 Httle and learn. Yet one would fancy there is a little difference between the.gos- sip of the stronger scx and our dwn, and here we may learn to Improve our ways. For the comments of a mon are usually dictated by a some- what broader mind than we have cul- tivated, so show a little more for- dearance, and are a little more kind. After all there fs 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. It is when we add a little, howevel, and allow ourselves to be- come spiteful that ilf follows; where- for we do well to remember that to taik is human, but to allow’ an un- kind tongue to ran away with ds is anything but good or wis¢.—Plorida Asriculturist, The Cost of It How shall a woman mend her ways that she may Jive and work and spend not all she éarns? 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 apart- ment all alone. ' Fodi, too, is expen- sive, £o cater for yourseif, ai 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 wifl not be having a good time. When health goes and friends dle and antietles press hard on the weary brain, then you'll need the unavoldable, 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 re- act in unwholesome ways upon your disposition. A woman who lives with her kind seldom grows peculiar and self-centred. It is the danger of soli- tude that one must think too much of one’s own interests and tribula- tions. 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 sec 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. Whaf is the sweetness of Indepen- dence that makes this young woman, for whom there walts a welcome in her father’s home, and for whom there fs 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, will- ing to be a, wage earner? She pays the cost of {t in fatigue and discour- agement, in flIness and premature gray halrs, but still ske perseveres and refuses to go home. It fs pitiful, yet fine, and yet would It 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 com- panjonship sbe 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 mad sister must be con- tent to go on earning no more than she started om And so she pays the cost ten times over in lonely holidays and unsatisfied affection, and dreary life in her little top floor hall bed- room. And some day she dies, alone. —F. D., in the New York Tribuns. )_ —AS, Sev ie FRUES NK EL A\ rasiions ee Rabots are good, particularly those embroidered, although the lace ones are used.

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-arban trafic, in which passengers were carried from place to place within the same clty.- "The second stage was that of suburban traffic, which became neces- sary with the growth of outlying dis- tricts adjacent to the cities in which the Ines had been laid. ‘The third stage was the Inter-urban trafic, be- gun originally to connect nearby cit- Jes, such as Minneapolis and St. Paul, and gradually extending further aud further until citles of the first rank, such as New York and Boston, were connected by continuous lines. Pro- jects are now under way to unite many more of the larger cities north of the Potomac and Ohio in a net- work of trolley connections. More progress has been made in the Cen- tral West in this phase of develop- ment than anywhere else In the coun- try, with the possible exception of New England. The fourth stage might be de- scribed as that of the trunk line. ‘Within the last few days: an an- nouncement has been mzde of 2 pro- posed 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 Pennsyl- vania Raiffoad line between Chicago and New York is 912 miles. The electric air line route woyld thus ext 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 othewise practica- bie, and this is open to question, tho strategic value of such a project is such as possibly to have a far reach~ ing effect on the whole trunk line situation. If <gjectric Mnes could eventually parallel the trunk lines to the Atlantic and Guif seaports ‘their influence on the raflroad situa- tion might not stop with passenger trafic. They would begin. to tell sooner or later on freight conditions. They would not simply figure as feed- ers of the railroads, as they aro now generally doing, but possibly reduce the ton mile rate of freight to a new low basis of cst. The average rev- ‘enue per ton shile for the year end- ing June 30, 1903, was 0.762 cent, and for 1904, 0.780 cent. This is the lowest average cost of any rail- road 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 freigkts, but might be still more marked fn its effect upon local freight rates.

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.

Daring Maori King’s Last fp Trans-Pacific Voyage. we Sa ee #” San Diego, Ca!.—With nearly 1000 enraged Chinese and 200 maddened ;Russlans rushing in mobs at each ‘other, thirsting for blood and a fight to the death while a helpless crew of shalt a hundred friendly Chinese and |three lonely English officers stood jbetween the murderous assaults in {80 effort to stop the fearful carnage ‘only to be set upon by both forces, {while a crowded ship rolled wildly in ja flerce storm—such was the awful jexperience 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 therace war six Rus- sians and two Chinese lie dead and more than 200 are dangerously swounded from knife thrusts. Accord- iJng to Captain J. W. Duncan, in com- ‘mand of the stricken ship, the Maori ‘King left Vladivostok with 921 Chi- ‘ese, 417 Russians, a crew of fifty- six Chinese, who had long been in the iservice of the boat and their officers: Captain Duncan, First Offleer T. S. Memon and Second Officer T. H. Ox ey. * <Ic appears that a Chinese ‘contrac- tor, Lee Sun Sal, lured the Chinese ‘on ‘board the sbip 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 at GuaSamas, Mexico. On learning of jthis deception the Chinese broke out ‘in mutiny, chased the officers of the Ship into their cablas, attacked those ‘of the Ghinese 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 ithe ship. All of the horrors of mu- itiky rampant with a horde of rabid coolies af fhe lowest and basest type jengaging in deadly combat all hours ‘of the day and night for nearly a ‘month, were intensified by the filth 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 Chi- ‘nese, making “the situation worse. 4As they refused to allow the surgeon near them over 4 hundred died Ike rats and were thrown overboard. + “It was a real hell ship,” accord- ‘ng to First Officer T.S. Vernon, “and ‘T have seen some pretty tough jots in my time. * “Just a week ago we were caught in a frightful storm. Even with a free crew we would have had great ‘ificulty in riding ber out. But with ‘a row golug on between the Russians jand the Chinese ft 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 ibeing beaten to and fro In a raging storm, the waves washing clear over sthe decks, But the Chinese and (Russians ‘were bent on murdering feach other, and the battle still went Yon. Then ‘the Chinese called for the life of Lee Sun Sai, the contractor. * “During the biackest night, ‘the -Chinese, most of them stripped’ bare -to the Waist, their brown bodies slick and shining’ in the lightning flashes, surged back and forth, nearly a thou- -sand of them, brandishing long yknives and screaming hoarsely in ‘their hideous gibberish like so many Slends on Walpursis night. . “THey rushed at the Russians again ‘and again, cutting and slashing and stabbing. ' The officers were simply helpless.”” ; British Vice-Consul Allen Hutch- inson has appealed to the military authorities, and orders have been re- ‘ceived from Washington that as many soldiers as necessary to quell the mu- tineers be detailed from Fort Rose- -crans. Captain Duncan asks that tho “United States allow a guard to ac- ‘company the Maorl King to Guaya- mas, as the Chinese cannot be landed on this side, 'fF Baltimore Goes Democratic.

She eleared from Bristoi, England, stopped at Tampa and Be- lize, British Honduras, whith 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 @ complete 105s. ‘The owner and c¥ew escaped ‘nar- rowly 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 fs the second expedition sent out by Earl Fitzwilliam, within the past three years touncover 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 Brit” ish navy; Colonel Carter, of the Brit- ish army, and seyeral other friends of Earl Fitzwilliam to the famous treasure island off the Paclfic coast of Costa Rica. The Earl stopped at Jamaica and took on two expert miners and siz- teen negro laborers, with a mass of equipment and supplics. The steam- er 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 gf the place, told the Englishmen that they looked in the right place they could find 6,000,000 pounds of treas- ure and a golden statue of a goddess robed in a costume of royal gems. ‘The German sald that he guessed the statue was buried under a elif’ that overlooked the sea. The miners prepared to blow up the cliff znd 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 thelr comrades, assisted by the Earl. There was a landslide, which burfed the Earl and his men 4m the sand, and gave him a fractured skull. A dozen of the men were sent to the Ametican 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 Can- ada and was the oldest ‘son of Vis- count Milton, M. P., and Laura; daughter of Lord Charles Beauclerk. He married a daughter of the Mar- quis of Zetland. He succeeded his grandfather, the sixth Earl Fitzwill- fam, in £903. He carried dispatches for the army headquarters staff dur- ing the Boer war, for which he re- celved the Order of Distinguished Merit. He is Master of the Went- worth Hounds and the Wicklow Har- riers. Ho has vast estates In York- shire and in County Wicklow, Ire- land, which are sald to aggregate 115,000 acres, from which he derives an income of more than $500,000 a year. He is ono of the wealthiest Peers of the empire. . ‘The Cocos treasure fs supposed to have got there in 1820, when, there was a big revolt in Pera and the wealthy citizens at Callao took their valuables out and buried them on the island. While they were going back to Pern a sloop of war sunk all on Doard but two men. The story runs that these two men finally got back to the {sland and picked upe $7500 worth of treasure, but on the way back one of them was eaten by ‘sharks. The other fitted up a ship at Panama for treasure hunting pur- poses, but was arrested and narrowly escaped being executed, Then he died a natural death. “_> “Silent” Smith's Will. 7 Following the funeral services the contents of James Henry Smith's will were made known in New, York City.

Tho government has decided to renew the cases against the so-called fertilizer trast before the United States dis- trict court at Richmond, Va, About a year ago the government secured the indictment and arrest of a large number of persons residing tn differ- ent parts of thé country on a charge of evading the Sherman anti-trust law and sought to sécure the removal to Nashville, where sult was being be- gun, of such defendants as resided outside of the state of ‘Tennessee. The Virginfa defendants, however, contended that, before they could be removed from ‘the stite, they should be given preliminary bearings to de termine the sufficlency of the evi dence on which their removal was asked.

Jt was evident that some person had hidden on a hillside close to the tres tle, had pulled the wire as the train approached and spread the rails out- ward toward the edge of the trestle. ‘Yellow Jack Appears in Cuba.
