UNIFORM IS BARRED Navy Blue Cut Out at James-town Dancing Hall. STRONG KICK REGISTERED Protest Made to Secretary Metcalf, Who Takes Up the Matter With Governor Swanson of Virginia. Discrimination against the blue jacket uniform of the navy, at the dancing pavilion of the Pine Beach and Amusement park, a resort adjacent to the Jamestown exposition, has led Secretary Metcalf to vigorous action. Complaint was made to the navy department by Llieutenant J. V. Babcock, commanding the United States steamship Truxton on May 16. The substance of this report and position taken by Secretary Metcalf in the matter is given by him in the following letter to Governor Swanson of Virginia, mailed May 22: "This department is in receipt of an unofficial report from the commanding officer of the United States, steamship Truxton, dated Pine Beach, Va., May 16, 1907, with regard to a case of disrespect to the service uniform, which has occurred during the sojourn of the fliotilla Pine Beach. "The commanding officer of the Truxton states that the dancing pavilion of Pine Beach refuses admittance to soldiers in uniform. On receipt of complaint from well-behaved and self-respecting men of the vessel; a first class petty officer was instructed to apply for admittance, and if refused to see the manager and ask reason for such action. "Such direction being carried out, S; E. Lane, gunners' mate, of the first class, on the 15th instant, was refused admission to the dancing pavilion, the manager stating that 'under no circumstances would men in bluejacket uniforms be admitted'; that the men were not objected to, but the uniform was, and that if they wished to go in and dance, other clothes would be furnished them.' VOL. XXII. "As the nav yis doing everything in its power to make the exposition a success, your attention is invited to the instance of apparent discrimination against the service uniform, and it is believed that some action should be taken thereon by withholding license or otherwise. If such practices be permitted, the result will, this department feels assured, prove highly prejudicial to the naval service by causing the uniform of the navy to be lobed upon with disfavor. "Commending the matter to your earnest attention, I shall be glad to be advised of such action as you may deem it appropriate to take in the premises, it being understood, of course, that whatever is done in this connection, to be of value, must be done without delay." "Very respectfully, "B. H. METCALF, Secretary." A copy of this letter was sent to President Tucker of the Jamestown Exposition Company by Secretary Metcalf, to which he added: "Your interest and co-operation in the taking of such prompt steps as may be practicable for the correction of the discrimination against men in the naval uniforms by any concerns over which the authorities of the exposition have jurisdiction are earnestly requested." Both Governor Swanson and President Tucker replied to Secretary Metcalf under date of May 24. Governor Swanson said he would at once do everything he could personally and under the law to have the discrimination stopped. President Tucker explained that the Pine Beach park was entirely outside of the grounds of the exposition and that the exposition company had no authority or control over its management. Mr. Tucker expressed hearty sympathy with the secretary's position ROAD'S FAIL TO AGREE. Trackage Deal Between Southern and Scaboard Called Off. It is reported authoritatively that the negotiations which have been on between the Seaboard Air Line and the Southern railway, in reference to the granting of trackage rights over the Southern's line from Macon to Atlanta to the Seaboard have been terminated, without an agreement. It is understood that the inability of the Seaboard to accept the terms offered by the Southern was the cause. The MRS. M'KINLEY NO MORE. Grim Reaper Claims Wife of Martyr President at Canton Home—Apoplexy Cause of Death. At Canton, Ohio, Sunday afternoon, Mrs. McKinley, wife of the martyred president, passed from earth, as the result of a stroke of apoplexy. The transition from life to death was so peaceful and gradual that it was with difficulty that the vigilant physicians and attendants noted, when dissolution came. There was no struggle, no pain. Mrs. McKinley never knew of the efforts made for days to prolong her life, nor of the solicitous hope against hope of her sister and other relatives and friends for her recovery. Mrs. McKinley's last words were for death. An attendant said: "Mrs. McKinley would say, 'Why should I linger?' 'Please God, if it is Thy will, why defer it?' She would say also, 'He is gone now, and life is dark to me.' Other kindred expressions would also fall from her lips." At the McKinley home when death came, there were present Secretary Cortelyou, Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Barber, Mrs. Sarah Duncan, Mrs. Luther Day, Justice and Mrs. William R. Day, Drs. Portmann and Rixey and the nurses. "Mrs. McKinley lasted hours longer than we expected," said the secretary. "Her vitality was wonderful," said Dr. Portmann. It was by Secretary Cortelyou that the announcement of the demise was given to the public. While little hope was entertained in Washington for her recovery, the news of the death of Mrs. McKinley caused profound sorrow in the national capital, where she so long made her home while her husband was a member of congress, and later president. President Roosevelt learned of her death shortly after 2 o'clock, when he received a telegram from Secretary Cortelyou, who has been in Caulton since Mrs. McKinley was first stricken. He immediately announced that he would attend the funeral. There were expressions of regret from many officials whose duties brought them in contact with the white house, and from all attaches of the executive mansion, many of whom served there during the McKinley administration. All paid the highest tribute to the memory to the late president's widow. The body of Mrs. McKinley will be placed in the cault in West Lawn cemetery which holds the remains of her husband until the completion of the new mausoleum on Monument Hill, when both caskets will be transferred to receptacles in that tomb. Mrs. McKinley's life of almost sixty years has been more familiar to the nation by the fact that more than half of it was a period of invalidism. Through all this, however, she showed a firm and unwavering belief in the career of her husband and by her cheering words, in spite of personal afflictions, encouraged him when there was darkness at hand. She believed that his star of destiny would never set until he had become president, and for more than a quarter of a century cherished that belief until her hopes were realized. After President McKinley's death, she expressed a desire to join him and prayed daily that she might join him. Lately, however, she frequently told friends she desired to live until the completion of the McKinley mausoleum, which is the gift of the nation, and which is to be dedicated on Monument Hill, September 30, next. MILLIONAIRES GIVE BOND. 8ix Money Kings Indicted on Bribery Charges at San Francisco.

Judge Coffey fixed ball at $1,000 on each of 126 counts contained in the twenty-eight. Indictments. All the accused furnished ball. The grand jury adjourned until June 10, when investigation of alleged bribery by officials of the Home Telephone company and by other persons will be resumed. BED SLATS,VIGOROUSLY APPLIED Would Do More Good Than Sunday Closing, Says Chicago Mayor. "Bed slats applied to unruly boys will do more than Sunday closing reform in Chicago," says Mayor Busse of Chicago, "and most of the people do not want Sunday closing." This was the mayor's answer to the delegation of the Sunday Closing League. The mayor said he would order the saloons closed on Sunday if he was commanded by the supreme court to do so, but not otherwise. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. JUNE 1.,1907. MEXICOWILLSCRAP If Guatemala Executes Nineteen Diaz Subjects. TROOPS ARE MOBILIZED Eight Thousand Are Massed on Guatemalan Frontier Awaiting Threatened Drastic Action of President Cabrera. Mexico has eight thousand men, fully equipped and on a war footing, now on the Guatemalan frontier. Distributed at strategic points to the south of Mexico City are eight thousand additional troops, which bodies of soldiers can be transported to the border on twenty-four hours' notice. While there is a disposition in official circles to modify the height of the tension existing between President Cabrera and the Mexican government, it is admitted on all sides that should Cabrera carry out his intention of executing the nineteen men accused of complicity in the alleged attempts, to assassinate him. Mexico would be forced to intervene. A Washington special says: The state department officials are watching with interest the developments in Guatemala, where great confusion exists as the result of the recent attack upon the life, of President Cabrera. A wild panic appears to have seized upon the government of that country and arrests have been made by the wholesale by persons suspected of complicity in the attempted-assassination. Senator Canto, who was for some time Chilean consul general at Guatemala City, and who has just been transferred to a similar position in London, saw Secretary Root Monday, and described at length the deplorable condition of affairs in Guatemala. Phillip Brown, the American charge and secretary of the legation at the Guatemalan capital, has reported to the state department by cable upon the events connected with President Cabrera's efforts to punish the instigators of the attack and also to crush the incipient rebellion, which threatens the country. Mr. Brown joined the other members of the diplomatic body in Guatemala City in a protest directed to Cabrera against the proposed execution of no less than nineteen persons, who had been arrested by the police in connection with the attempted assassination; and when he reported this fact to the state department he was advised against interference in view of his statement that while a number of foreigners were included in the list of condemned, none of them were Americans. However, Mr. Brown has again cabled the department, asking if he might use his personal influence in behalf of the prisoners, and Secretary Root Monday cabled him the necessary permission. The department probably will be pleased if Brown can avert the execution of the sentences, for it is probable that the execution of any of these foreigners upon the evidence against them will lead to forcible foreign intervention, which might result in unpleasant complications. SNOW AND JACK FROST Trying to Nose Out Summer in the North and Northwest. Snow was reported from all over Michigan Monday with a veritable winter blizzard prevailing over the Saginaw valley. Cadillac reports that five inches of snow fell Sunday night, and six inches have fallen at Petoskey. Flakes of snow fell in the Schuylkill valley in Pennsylvania and residents of Berks county report that a regular squall visited that section. Frost was general over Kansas Sunday night with the temperature in many places in the state reaching 30 degrees. Northwest Missouri was also visited by a damaging frost. AWAITING REPORT OF CHEMIST Dr. Rowland and New Wife Are Held in North Carolina.

C., eagerly awaits the results of the analysis of the stomach of his son and Strange. With him at the jail at Henderson is his young wife, erstwhile widow of Strange, whom he-married one week after the mysterious death of her husband. Tribune. WOULD SETTLE PROBLEM Georgia Member of Commerce Commission Suggests Penitentiary Terms for R. R. Magnates. A Washington dispatch says: The Interstate commerce commission has decided on a more radical policy in the treatment of corporations which persist in violating the law. Possessed of authority to investigate every phase of railroad business and having the power to bring about the punishment of individuals as well as corporations, the commission is pushing its work with determination. Commissioner Judson C. Clements, of Georgia, who has had fifteen years' service, in an interview, Monday, sald: "One of the most wholesome things that could happen would be the putting in jail of some men of prominence in the railroad world. It would do more than anything else to bring about better feeling. It would not be necessary to put in jail, all the men who ought to be there. Just let one or two who hold high positions in the social and business world be put behind the bars. This would act as a powerful deterrent for men who would nestite to jeopardize their positions and safety." Questions of criminal procedure by the commission have been delegated to Franklin K. Lane of California, one of the most-energetic and conservative members. When Mr. Lane was asked: "Are you going to send somebody in the railroad world to jail?" he replied: "I hope that will not be necessary if the railroads will comply with the law, we will get on most harmoniously, but if the law is broken they will have trouble." "Do you intend to have Edward H. Harriman prosecuted?" "The whole subject is under consideration by the commission. If Mr. Harriman has been guilty of any infraction of the act to regulate commerce he will, as a matter of course, be prosecuted—not at all because he is Harriman, but because he is an offender against the law. "We shall use every power granted us—the power to investigate under oath, the power of examination of accounts and the power of calling upon the district attorneys for indictments. And in the enforcement of the law we shall lask and expect the co-operation of the railroad men of the country who declare they are prepared to conform to the law, whether they believe in it or not. "We do not intend to combine our energies to railroad men, but will extend them to shippers whom the law reaches, for underbilling and false weighing and by other devices and means securing less than the regular rates. Very recently two mills in North Carolina were convicted of turning in false weights and were compelled to pay fines aggregating $15,000." STRIKERS MAY USE TORCH. Situation in Santiago, Cuba, is on Verge of Anarchy. The, strike situation in Santiago, Cuba, became very much aggravated Monday. There was considerable shooting throughout the day, and at one time a serious outbreak was threatened. Open threats to burn property are being made, and with this approach to anarchy, many citizens are arming themselves. They declare the situation to be unbearable. APPEAL·TQ ALL SOUTHERNERS To Stop All Business at Moment of Unvelling of Davis Statue.

FOR AIDING LYNCHERS Widow of Victim Brings Suit, Against Railroad for $100,000. The widow and minor children of Robert T. Rogers, a white man, who was lynched last May at Tallulah, La., filed suit Monday against the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific railroad for $100,000. The declaration charges that the defendant, conspiring with a mob furnished a special train which carried from Monroe, La., to Tallulah a body of men who took Rogers out of jail and hung him. JAPS RILED BY MOB Restaurant and Bath House Wrecked in 'Frisco. TOKIO PUBLIC INDIGNANT Protest is Made by Japanese Ambassador and Secretary Root Moves to Give Protection Under Terms of Treaty. Information that Japanese have been subjected to ill-treatment and indignaties in San Francisco reached the state department Sunday from two sources, and Secretary Root has taken measures for their protection through two channels. Ambassador Wright at Tokio cabled the information, through Japanese channels, that a Japanese restaurant and a Japanese bath house, in San Francisco, had been demolished by a mob, and Viscount Aoki, the Japanese ambassador at Washington, lald before Secretary Root dispatches from the Japanese consul general at San Francisco detailing the same occurrences. Secretary Root at once made a request on Attorney General Bonaparte of the department of justice that the United States district attorney in San Francisco be directed to make an immediate investigation of the complaints. Mr. Bonaparte thereupon telegraphed both the United States district attorney and the United States marshal at San Francisco to make a thorough investigation and to forward their report by telegraph to the department of justice. Besides setting to work the machinery of the federal government, Secretary Root telegraphed the information to Governor Gillette of California. In this telegram he called upon the state of California to perform the duties imposed upon her by the terms of the treaty between the United States and Japan, which stipulates that Japanese shall have the right to reside in the United States, and shall have full protection to their persons, property and business. The double move affording protection to the Japanese was taken by the secretary because of what is regarded as doubtful authority vested in the officers of the federal government to prosecute violations of the criminal law. The secretary does not go so far as to say that the federal government is without authority in this respect in the absence of procedure by a state, but he is frank to admit that federal jurisdiction may be somewhat weak. As to the merits of the case, Secretary Root is inclined to ascribe the occurrences, both reports of which have come through Japanese sources, to the disturbed conditions existing in San Francisco as the result of labor conditions. Japanese Indignant. A special from Tokio, Japan, says: A report from the consul for Japan in San Francisco confirms the news of attacks made recently upon Japanese restaurant keepers in that city. The public here is indignant, but the press refrains from any hasty comment, trusting the Washington government to prevent the repetition of similar occurrences. The disturbance occurred in a restaurant conducted by Japanese on Folsom street and was followed by an attack upon a Japanese bath house on the opposite side of the street. The trouble arose over the expulsion of two white men from a Japanese restaurant on Eighth street. They were followed by a mob when they went around to the place on Folsom street, which wrecked both places, the men themselves escaping through a rear entrance. The police say the reason that there was no interference was because all of the patrolmen on the street had been withdrawn for duty in other sections of the city, where disturbances prevailed, owing to the strike of the car men. HOST TO LOSE JOBS. Railroads Will Economize by Cutting Down Their Payrolls. Between 50,000 and 100,000 men will be thrown out of employment by the railroads of the country before the end of the first week in June, according to reports in Chicago. In addition to the employees in the regular. service, many thousands of laborers will be discharged by the railroads which have abandoned new work, and new extensions, owing to the difficulty of raising money. WARNINGS OF FROST Issued at Washington for Middle Atlantic States and Freezing Temperature for Wyoming. Remarkably unseasonable weather with a cold wave extending throughout the country east of the Rocky mountains, the thermometers in some sections registering the lowest temperatures for the season in many years, is reported by the weather bureau at Washington. Frost warnings have been issued for the middle Atlantic states and the eastern lower lake region, and freezing temperature for western Wyoming. Added to this, flood warnings have been issued for the lower Rio Grande river valley and supplementary warnings for the Red river valley in southwest Arkansas. Weather bureau officials say there is no immediate prospect of any summer weather anywhere. Heavy frosts are reported to the bureau from Michigan and other states of the lake region. The cold wave is particularly severe in the southwest and is due, according to the weather experts, to the heavy rains in that part of the country. Forecaster Frankenfield gives out the following explanation: "The reason for the cold weather we have had during the past two or three months is that the high areas of pressure have moved toward the east from the northern portion of the country almost continuously, and these have caused cold north winds. That is the only reason I can give for the cold weather. As to what makes these areas keep up this season is more than I can tell." Not since 1882 has the abnormal weather been approached in this country. SOUVENIR OF GEORGIA DAY For President Roosevelt in Shape of Handsomely Engraved Gold Plate.

These he arranged and copyrighted in a vest-pocket note- ‘book, each page of which represented a factory. Across the top of the pare were column headings representing the sizes of wire, and down one edge were the prices of copper. By select- ing the proper size and the proper price and following column and lne to their intersection, the price of that foot of wire in the required factory at the moment was found, which with a single multiplication gave the cost of the contract, less freight.

Another little thing of the kind ‘that Interests every American boy is ‘now working on a pier at Burrwood, Louisiana, a little town on stilts at ‘the end of Southwest Pass, where the new jetties for the Mississipp! River are under construction. In the jetty work great mats are made of willow brush, bound together with timbers pinned with wooden pins. Many thousand feet of timber are used every day, cach piece bored with eight one-inch holes at exact inter- vals, and cut to a given length. Formerly each hole was bored by. hand by a carpenter after the ends had been squared and the intervals carefully measured. The superin- tendent in charge, seeking both ac- curacy and economy in the interest of his employers—and moved by that love for improvement which is the mark of the successful workman, —designed a set of eight bits and iwo circular saws mounted in a frame and driven by a steam engine. Lum- ber fed upon rollers is brought into ‘the machine and locked in place; by the turn of a lever the ends of each plece are squared and the eight holes bored simultaneously in 2 fraction of a minute, each exactly in the re- quired spot. _There is no chance for error. Asa résult the work fs done faster and cheaper, and it is certain that when the timber comes to the weaving frame each hole is exactly where the pin should go. A fitting complement to this, and "part of The same machine, Is apfharp- ener exactly like the five-cent?pencil- sharpeners used by schoolboys, but large enough to take In an Inch stick.

Screws For AirShips. No matter whether it is a gas bag or ‘an aeroplane, any self-propelled airship must have an engine and screws working on the same pritciple as a steamer’s. A German inventor, Major Hoerner, is satisfied, neverthe- less, that the fqrm of the mechanism ought to be different: Air is elastic and compressible, while water is not, and to get’the best results with the former it may be wise not to give the blades for use in one element the same shape as is adopted for the other. Another change which Major Hoerner recommends ts that the en- gines of an airship should not run continuously, but in a sucdession oi impulses. According to the Colognu Gazette, he effects this by means of a systém of screws, which not only re- volve round their, own axles, but also rotate round a common axis, planet fashion.” There is thus a kind of dif- ferential motion, and the screw is driven alternately faster and slower.

Jn spite of this Zreat outlay only 5.6 pér cent. of the roads are surfaced with stone, gravel, or other hard material. It is evident, therefore, that enormous sums of money are annually wasted in the administration, construction and maintenance of roads, whereas the present outlay should, it properly applied, go far toward providing ade- quate transportation facilities in the form of improved roads, which are so Mecessary to our comfort and pros- perity. The United States is far behind Enrope in this character of internal improvement, while excelling In most. others. The causes may be generally stated as follows: Imperfect State laws; ‘inefficient and improper admin- /Istration and- management of roads; ignorance on the part of Jocal road builders of the principles and meth- ods of road construction; ignorance of the qualities essential in road- building materials apd lack of facil{- ties for ascertaining such qualities; lack of sufficient research and experi- metital work to devise changes or im- provements in road materials or ex- isting methods of construction sufll- cient to meet peculiar conditions, re- duce cost, or increase efiiciency. 2 The remedies which should Jogic- ally come from the National Govern- ment may be briefly stated 4s foi-' lows: z 1. General investigation, compari-: son and explanation of existing road laws in order to provide legislators with all possible data upon which to consider improvements in existing legislation : 2. Investigation-of systems of road administration and management and dissemination of the knowledge thus acquired with a view to the elimina- tion of the worst features and the adoption of the best features in alt parts ofthe country. 3. The introduction of proper methods of construction by famillar- izing local road builders with the | prineiples and practice essential to proper road construction and main- tenance. he 4. Investigation of quantity, loca- tion, accessibility and relative value of road-making materials throughout the country and comparative tests to determine whether or not such ma- terials. possess the essential qualities. 5. Experimental research work on a sufficiently large scale to cope with existing conditions and keep pace with the needs of the country in this direction. “All the remedies above suggested are of such character as would be capable of being realized tp the full- est extent only through the National Government. For the States to carry on such work would involve a per- sonnel, equipment and operating ex- penses by each State almost ag great as would be required of the National Government, with a great amount of duplication in methods and results, and much confusion owing to con- Alcting conclusions and recommenda- tions. Furthermore, there is ample precedent for investigation and ex- perimental work by the Government and much contemporary example of such governmental cctivity. . ‘That the work already done by the National Government along the lines indicated in the above-suggested rem- edies has npt produced_greater results is due to the fact that the appropria- tions-have been small and the facili- tles necessarily limited.

SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1907. THE St. Stephen's way of providing transportation for the patrons of its afternoon excursion is novel and to be commended LAST Tuesday a number of colored citizens met and temporarily organized a Civic League. This is a step in the right direction. Cordial relation between the races should exist and endeavors should be made to reach the lower element of our people and entice them to become more law loving. The superior race should lead in being itself law-abiding, thus teaching the inferior race an excellent example. By going to the home of innocent citizens at the small hours of the morning without a legal process, is not the way to show lawful sentiment; yet this is what happened in Tattnall county last week. THE Hon. Champ Clark. radical fire eating Democrat and Negro hater of Missouri, has been giving vent to his feeling on the Negro question during the week for the edification of those who think as he does. The gentleman said that the Negro will die out like the American Indians, but we are willing to wager our all that the progeny of this man will never live to see the population of the Negro in this country diminished even in the least. THE readers of THE TRIBUNE were surprised in reading the account of the Baptist Ministers Union published last week and noted that a unanimous vote was made to favor special cars for our people to attend the college commencement. The Baptist ministers are among the leaders of the people and should act consistently on this question. It is a fact that some of the ministers are seen on jim crow cars, but it is too bad that such a resolution should have been adopted. There are other ways to attend the commencement than on the cars. We have since been informed that the matter came up but no vote was taken. Edwards Useless to this District. The Washington (D. C.) Herald of Monday last, very pungently and truthfully says: "That young Georgia Congressman-elect who 'stands pat' upon the silly decision not to give 'official audience' to negro constituents will learn a few things about 'standing pat' when he reaches Washington—also some thing about the utter uselessness to their States and districts of such legislators, as he is evidently destined to be" A Farce Trial. The trial of W. T. Wiggins, white, a Magistrate on St. Helena Island, for the murder of William Bennett, a colored fireman, on the 19th of last January, came off to-day. The plea set up by his lawyers was self-defense, and yet Bennett, who was at work when he was murdered, never knew who killed him, believing that one Stradley the only man he saw and who he called the "white, paper man" had done the deed. The trial lasted all day, and the large court-room was filled with Negroes who had come to hear the trial and who behaved themselves unusually well but when the jury after an absence of fifty minutes brought in a verdict "not guilty" every one was shocked and the murmur of indignation that filled the court-room rolled like distant thunder. The spirit of levity that prevailed among the whites was noticeable and was made more so by quiet, earnest behavior of the Negroes. When Bennett's poor broken-hearted mother was told that Wiggins had got clear she cried out, "O William, my dear boy!" refusing all consolation in her distress. The disappointment of the Negroes is very bitter as they feel that the whole proceeding was but a mockery and intended as a slap in the face, because they are Negroes.—Béaufort County News. Steps To Organize Colored Clyde League. A number of the conservative colored citizens met yesterday afternoon to consider the adaptability of organizing a colored branch of the Civic League. Each attendant gave expression favorable to the organization, which was perfected temporarily by selecting Dr S. P. Lloyd as chairman, and Sol. C. Johnson, secretary. A committee of five comprising Dr. J. H. Bugg, A L. Tucker, George S. Williams, W. R. Fields and Sol. C. Johnson was selected to report on organization. Another meeting will be held next week at which time a permanent organization will be perfected The membership of the league will be limited to one hundred of some of the most conservative colored tax payers, and will work in hearty accord with the best white citizens to further maintain the all ready amicable relation that exist here between the races, and to dis countenance any form of lawlessness among the colored people. Those present at the temporary organization were S. P. Lloyd, M. D., J. H. Bugg, M. D. F. B. Pettie, H. S. Dunbar, A. L. Tucker, J. R. Davis, W. R. Fields, L. E. Williams, H. A. Macbeth, E. D. Bulkley, E. Seabrook, J. C. Williams, A. M. Monroe, F. S. Beloher, M. D., George S. Williams and Sol. C Johnson. A Regrettable Incident. The remarkable action of the representative in Congress from the First Georgia district in refusing to accord a hearing to a committee from the colored mail carriers has caused a good deal of comment, and will, very likely, be heard from further. The circumstances were substantially as follows: The colored committee in a very respectful manner requested an interview with the Congressman, who, in the currest possible manner, declined to accede to the request. He gave as his only reason for declining, the fact the request came from the colored committee. He said he would be willing to meet a committee of white mail carriers, but, refused to meet one composed of negroes. Subsequently, in an effort to explain or justify his action, he brought in a lot of entirely extraneous matter which could have no bearing upon the question except to possibly influence his course after hearing what the committee had to say. Obviously, if any other considerations influenced his course, they should have been mentioned in his letter of refusal, instead of basing his refusal, as he did, solely on the ground that it was a committee of colored men. The Congressman professes to believe that his course has the entire approval of a large majority of the best element of the white people of his district. In this he is most egregiously mistaken. His action has received only unlimited disapproval and unmitigated censure from all of the best element in Savan-pah, commercial, professional, social, political and religious. With political question, as such, we have nothing to do here; but this matter has a broader connection, affecting as it does the material interests of this city and port. Such is our excuse for touching upon this matter. While not all of the requests made of the national government by the people of this port have been granted, yet in certain respects we have been treated with a fair and reasonable liberty. The government has appropriated large sums for the improvement of our harbor, and on this and other similar occasions we have little ground to complain. We succeed in obtaining what our harbor has done, and what we felt justly entitle to, require, communicate tack and persistent effort on the part of our representatives in Congress. We have still further requests to make of this national government; for we have not yet reached the goal of our harbor ambitions. What earthly chance have we to attract favorable attention through the intercession of a Representative who commences his career by a proceeding which must incur only the animosity and antagonism of the party in power? Since the people of Savannah regard the action of the their Representative with such sentiments of indignation, what must be the the sentiments of those in power, who do not take nearly so lenient a view of the case? The Representative has seen fit to declare that rather than meet such colored committees he will "resign by wire" in view of the complete misconception on his part of the obligations devolving upon him by virtue of his office it seems that the most useful service that the longer remains in his power to render his district, is to carry his threat into execution.-The Cotton Record. The Paramount Issue. The question, "what has he done," when some one ventured to refer to another in a commendable manner, is far fetched, and often bespeaks a redundant brain and a lethargic intellect. To say the least it oftimes discovers to the thinking populace the utter ignorance and lack of capacity even to absorb the spirit of the age of progressiveness in which one lives. Doing, in my opinion is sequential to being placed in a position to do. The old slogan, "find a way or make one" finds not that favor that is paramount to success where blind partisanship holds way. One may develop a mound hill into a mountain or make this mundane sphere react, and yet fail of recognition where the hoodwink of greed and graft and the foil of inordinate partisanship obtain To live honorably and to labor incessantly for the uplift of mankind and society, to exercise in the rank and file in that manner that reflects credit upon one's self—and any organization to which he may belong, does not silence the tongue of the "ninny head" nor break the wall of the "intellectual tomit" to whom aspiration is a crime and the aspirant a criminal. eyer, their living noteless do not make up the citizen body but like the wild coyote, burrough in specially selected ballwicks and cricket, when intelligent citizens think: I cannot see some men do, that it is the unpardonable sin to aspire. I cannot see the summation should not be given to those whose services warrant it, and whose manipulations have produced beneficent results. I cannot see, however, where it is criminal that other worthy men should desire to exercise in the same role for the purpose of benefiting their fellowman and making a name and fame. I can see no need of invectives, there is no place nor space in fraternity for such. Upon the plane of equality and equity men may meet men in fierce but friendly combat, and losing or winning still remain friends. The fraternities which make our intercesses one are restraining forces and should ever be operative upon the life and conduct of the members of the fraternity. Sad to say, this is not always the case, for the approach of every G. L seems to give birth to bickering There is a cause and the cause is fundamental and organic. This cause will be, must be moved Until the G. L fixes the terms of its officers, these annual bickering will occur. Until the G. L limits the terms of its officers of prescriptive and unwholesome legislation will be continually enacted until said officers will be mere figure-heads. $t$ Creswell has made an excellent official and this declaration is not aimed at him; Cohen has made an excellent officer and this declaration is not aimed at him; Warren has made an excellent officer and this declaration is not aimed at him, all of the G. L. officers are honorable men who have labored as they saw it, for the advancement of Pythianism. But the terms of office must be limited. It will allay wirepulling at least covering the limitation and thereby allow time for thoughtful and beneficent legislation. The Good Samaritans. Savannah, Ga., May 30th 1907, Editor of THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE: Please allow me space in your columns to make an explanation. The State Grand Lodge No. 17 Independent Order of Good Samaritans and Daughters of Samarita of Georgia was granted her charter from the National Grand Lodge in 1885 and was granted her state charter in Georgia in 1891 by the legislature. Now a few words in regards to Grand Lodges. Only one Grand Lodge exists in the State of Georgia. This order was first organized in America in 1847 and on September 14th 1848 was granted a charter, and incorporated by the State of New York to the National Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Good Samaritans and Daughters of Samarita. Each state under a district or a state Grand Lodge but the National Grand Lodge of 1847, controls the whole of America and also the West Indies Islands. Now, in reference to the different branches of the order since the organization of the National Grand Lodge in 1847, there are three different branches and each one call themselves the original branch of the order but when you trace the order from its commencement to the present day, you find that the National Grand Lodge of 1847 is the only original and first that was ever organized in America, is the same to day and this State Grand Lodge No. 17 of Georgia, is under this National Grand Lodge of 1847, and for that reason we are the only original. In 1872 a party went out from the National Grand Lodge of 1847, calling themselves the National Grand Council. It is this fact that are now in Savannah calling themselves the Independent Order of G. S. and.D. of S. of the U. S. of A. I am yours for the State Grand Lodge No. 17 of Georgia. Edward C. Wilson, State Deputy. L. W. Julesley, G. Chief. A Prosperous Church. EDITOR: SAVANNAN TRIBUENCE: Please allow space in your paper to speak of a rally at the Mt Morihain Baptist Church, Pembroke, Ga., M. 26, 1907 our pastor, Rev. S. M. Walker told us that he wanted us to raise $50 as our church was in debt a little and also, that he had to go' to the State Baptist Convention which meets in Macon next week and wanted us to take part in the rally to raise six thousand dollars for the G. C. College. We raised $54.99 and I want to say that Rev. S. W. Walker is a hustler and a money raiser and a church builder. We have built a fine church since last June at a cost of two thousand dollars and don't owe one cent. We have done more under the leadership of Rev. S. W. Walker than any other pastor. So you see we are going ahead. Our ladies are at work to send their delegate to the convention in Macon. We have a great set of ladies in our church. Sister M. A. McDaniels is the leader and Sister Mary Pall is helping her. They raised the most of the money on Sunday. Bro. J. D. McMoore is the leading Deacon. The Fameus Sunbonnet Pictures. This series of color pictures for passepartout will, be given free with the New York Sunday World. Every one who sees these pictures wants them.

Evening subject, "Return of the Prodigal Son." Everybody is cordially invited to attend; you will be made welcome. Address at Tuskegee. Rev J W. Carr, D. D., pastor of the F A. B.

How many women do you know who are perfectly well and strong? The cause may be easily traced to some feminine derangement which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything, backache, dragging sensations, flatulency, nervousness, and sleeplessness. These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and unless heeded, a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result.

But metal spoons were used in Biblical days, for in Exodus the Lord tells Moses to make spoons of gold for use in the Tabernacle, and to-day there are to be seen in the British Museum spoons which certainly were used in the early days of Christianity, besides others found in the ruins of Pompeli and Herculaneum. Anointing spoons are as old as the time when Nathan, the prophet, ```markdown ``` anolited Solomon as the ruler of Israel, and they have been used to anoint kings from that time to the present day. The spoon with which Edward VII. was anolited by the Archbishop of Canterbury is at least 600 years old, and has been used for the purpose of anoliting the kings of England ever since it was remade for the coronation ceremonies of Charles II. Another spoon of great antiquity is the "Pudsey spoon," given by Henry VI. to his friend and protector, Sir Ralph Pudsey, in 1445, at the time in which he was concealed in Sir Ralph's house after the Battle of Hexam. This spoon has the pear-shaped bowl of the usual form of all ancient spoons previous to the Restoration; the handle is octagonal, and at the end is flattened out to form a seal, on which is carved the King's badge, a single rose. Inside the bowl, near the shaft, is the hallmark of the thirteenth century sterling silver—a leopard's head—and on the back of the bowl is the mark of the maker—a heart in outline. This spoon is the most ancient known piece of silver in existence that bears the indisputably authentic hallmark of the English "Goldsmiths' Company." All the earliest spoons have pear-shaped bowls. It was not until the latter part of the seventeenth century that they began to elongate to ward the egg-shaped spoon of the present time. Probably none of the old spoons equals in interest the Apostle spoons, which came into fashion in the sixteenth century. It was an English custom at that time for the sponsors to give these spoons to the children for whom they made themselves responsible as baptismal gifts. The value of these old sets of Apostle spoons will be understood when some of the prices paid for them are known. One set sold in 1903 for $24,500, while another, of less ancient date, brought $3300. A single Apostle spoon, bearing on its handle a figure of St. Nicholas, and on the stem the inscription, "St. Nicholas, pray for us," sold in London five years ago for the unheard-of sum of $3450, the most exaggerated price ever paid for a single spoon so far as can be ascertained. The Apostle spoon shown in the cut is an Elizabethan spoon of St. Matthew, the nimbus chased with St. Esprit. The date of the hallmark is 1500, and the spoon realized $250.—Philadelphia Record. Progress of Publishers. Census bureau figures for five years ending with 1905 show an enormous expansion of the printing and publishing industries. The cost of material used in the making of newspapers and periodicals increased $20,000,000 in five years, the value of the paper alone jumping from $37,323,516 to $58,966,258. The total number of publications increased from 18,226 to 21,400. The number of dailies jumped from 2226 to 2445, with a circulation of 19,624,257 for week days and a Sunday circulation of 11,359,521 copies. The number of weeklies increased from 12,979, with a circulation of 29,852,052 to 15,404, with a drop in circulation to 36,733,597. The monthlies jumped from 1817 in 1900, with a circulation of over 29,000,000, to 2500, with a circulation of 62,776,155. HON. HERBERT KNOX SMITH.

IBISH HOPEFULNESS. Sure, Things Are Never So Bad but They Might Be Worse. The Irishman sees everything through rose colored glasses, says a writer in the Guildon. He is supported, too, by a simple, sturdy faith, a spirit of resignation and unworldliness worthy of the saints of old. The dread blight had fallen on the fields in most of the district where we were visiting in Ireland, and the potato vines hung limp and brown. No word of complaint was spoken, and when the likelihood of famine was mentioned the answer came: "Danger, ma'am? Yes, there is, indeed, but God is good. He'll find a way." So, too, about the hay. The summer had been terribly wet, and for days the new mown hay had laid on the ground. It was an anxious time. "What will you do?" I said to Mike, "If this weather keeps up? Your hay will surely be ruined." "Oh, please God, it won't keep up," he answered. "He'll send us a bright day soon, just to see how well we'll use it." "What a glorious night, Mikey," I said to the boy, as he and I and the donkey drove home under the August moon. "A fine night, indeed, ma'am. Thanks be to God for giving it to us!" They showed us, on the road to town, a gentleman's place where, in a stretch of what not long since had evidently been thickly wooded land, stood stump after stump of giant trees. Four or five years ago, when the winter was exceptionally long and cold, the peasants suffered from scarcity of peat. They begged this landed proprietor to sell them wood, offering not only to pay his price but to fell the trees and carry them off. He refused. Again and again they begged, for the suffering grew intense, but he would not let his hand be marred. One night, there came a wind so frightful that it seemed for a time as if the "big wind" were blowing again. In the morning the highway along this proprietor's domain was Impassable. Huge trees, blown to the ground, lay across the road for a distance of two miles, and the forest beauty was a thing of the past. The town authorities ordered the obstruction cleared away, and the peasants got for nothing more than they had been refused for pay. "Twas the hand of God was in that, ma'am," I was told, "for, with all the wind, not a poor man's cot was harmed, nor another tree on the countryside only those. God always looks after His poor." A BAD RECOMMENDATION. Lady (in draper's shop)—And is this color also genuine? Assistant—As genuine as the roses on your cheeks, miss. Lady—H'm! Show me another one. Tit-Bits. "What shall I cat?" is the daily inquiry the physician is met with. I do not hesitate to say that, in my judgment, a large percentage of disease is caused by poorly selected and improperly prepared food. My personal experience with the fully-cooked food, known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to speak freely of its merits. "From overwork, I suffered several years with malnutrition, palpitation of the heart, and loss of sleep. Last summer I was led to experiment personally with the new food, which I used in conjunction with good rich cow's milk. In a short time after, I commenced its use, the disagreeable symptoms disappeared, my heart's action became steady and normal; the functions of the stomach were properly carried out and, I again slept as soundly and as well as in my youth. "I look upon Grape-Nuts as a perfect food, and no one can gainsay but that it has a most prominent place in a rational, scientific system of feeding. Any one who uses this food will soon be convinced of the soundness of the principle upon which it is manufactured and may thereby know the facts as to its true worth." Read, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." The Common House Fly. Whence He Comes and Whither He Goes. By HAROLD SOMERS, M. A. The common house fly (Musca Domestica) is a creature of such secretion habits that allow from the very earliest times he has been with us, and the most ancient writers have mentioned and described him, still very little, was known of his origin and history. It remained for the eminent Boston biologist, Dr. A. S. Packard, in 1873, to make known his origin, habits and transformations from the egg through the larva state with its two changes to the pupa state, then to the perfect fly. Near the first of August the female lays about 120 eggs of a dull gray color, selecting fresh horse manure in which to deposit her eggs, and so secretes them that they are rarely seen; it takes only twenty-four hours for them to hatch into the first form of larva, a white worm one-quarter of an inch in length and one-tenth in diameter. They feed on the decaying matter of their environment, and two changes or casting of skins occur before they turn into the pupa state; this change comes very suddenly. The entire period from the egg to the pupa state is from three to four days. If moist food is wanting when in this condition they will eat each other and thus decrease their number. Heat and humidity greatly assist their development, as upon careful computation each pound of manure around stables and outhouses develops under favorable conditions over 1000 flies. It is no wonder that where these conditions exist we have such a veritable harvest of the fly nest. In the pupa state when the fly is about to emerge the end of the pupa case splits off, making a hole through which the fly pushes a portion of its head, but here it seems to encounter a difficulty; the pupa case is too stiff and hard to pass through. but nature comes to its assistance, and a sort of bladder like substance forms behind the head, which swells out apparently filled with air; it acts as a means of pushing away the pupa case and releases the fly. When the fly first emerges it runs around with its wings soft, small and baggy; it is pale and the colors are not set; its head rapidly expands and the bladder formation passes away—within a few hours the wings grow and harden; it is now a perfect fly. The whole time from the depositing of the egg to the perfect fly is not over ten days in duration. Many persons who observe small flies in midsummer suppose they are the young, but such is not the case; they are flies that are imperfectly nourished in the larvae and pupae states, and do not attain full size; in fact, they are the dwarfs of their race. The male fly differs from the female in the front of the head between the eyes, being at least one-third narrower, though in size the female is rather smaller. Adult flies like most other creatures have parasites of minute size that prey upon them; these can often be seen as presenting small red anecks over the body of the fly. Another enemy in the form of a fungus often attacks the fly in the early autumn. This makes its appearance as a white swelling and the white spores of the disease can be seen penetrating the body of the fly, which it finally distends and ruptures. The fly hibernates in winter, but with his usual secretive habit it is very difficult to find him in his winter quarters. With the first chill of autumn the files, feeling the cold, seek temporary warmth in houses, and clustering together form bunches in the corners of walls and other places. They are then sluggish and not so active as in the warm weather. However, they do not make a permanent stay 'indoors', but on the first mild, sunny day seek the windows-to get out and find their permanent winter hiding place. Many prefer to make their homes in the roots of grass on lawns, where they hide themselves so effectually that the ice and snow of winter does not destroy them in their bibernating state. If in the first warm days of spring when the snow is gone and the grass on the lawns becomes dry and warm, long before the yellow dandelion shows its head, a close observer may see numbers of files crawling up on the grass to get the welcome sunshine, their wings standing out stiff and useless, but they soon acquire the power of flight in the warm rays of the sun. A great many days, however, elapse before they appear in the homes of men. In recent years the medical profession have demonstrated that while the fly itself does not propagate disease, it is one of the most industrious carriers of disease germs, which by contact adhere to his feet, hairy legs and body, distributing them to innocent victims. If every housekeeper could know all these interesting facts, which have never before been brought to their attention, they would realize the importance of securing the very best fly exterminator.

Y., in the course of an address at the poultry institute at Guelph, Can., said one of the results of withholding lime from pullets was that they ate all their eggs. When lime was supplied they quit the habit. This may account for not a little of the egg-eating about which so many farmers are now complaining. Convenient Fountain. Once in a while we see among the mass of inventions and contrivance presented by our farm and fruit a poultry papers one that needs no end to look to tell that it is an ideal fature for the intended purpose. glance shows that it will do its work and do it better than any other arrangement can. And now I come with my little contribution. It is a poultry water Egg-Eating Birds Cured. There are several ways of handling egg-eating birds. They usually behave all right as soon as they get out where they have more room and fresh air, and the shells grow harder, so that all works together to effect a cure. Pending this, darkened nests, raised so that the birds cannot stand and look into them all the time, are helpful. A cloth bottom is sometimes placed above the real bottom of the nest, having a slit for one egg to pass through. In extreme cases an egg has been smeared or mixed with bitter aloes as a lesson of let-alone, which is said to be effective. We have this difficulty occasionally toward spring, but seldom do more than to provide abundant exercise, good food and nests. If the sinners' can be spotted it is well to coop them by themselves for a time, as such a vice spreads rapidly, especially in an idle flock. Nests may be effectively darkened by tacking a burlap curtain at the top edge, to hang four-fifths of the way down, just so the hens can push them aside easily. —C. S. Valentine, in the Tribune Farmer. Humus in the Soil. Professor Whitney, of the Bureau of Soils, says humus acts as a sponge in the soil and absorbs toxic poisons which are given off by the plant roots. However this may be, the farmer must add humus to his soils to make them produce good crops. There are several ways in which humus is increased in the soil. To make the matter clear to those who do not understand what humus is it might be well to state that humus is the dark-colored mold left after organic matter or vegetable matter has decayed. Then in the light of this explanation farmers will understand that any organic matter turned under and allowed to decay will form humus. Barnyard manure, straw, stalks, etc., the plowing under of green growing crops, such as clover, cowpeas, rye or any other crop used generally for green manuring will add humus to the soil. The lack of organic matter is usually noticed by the soils becoming out of condition. They run together and cake after heavy rains. When such a condition occurs the farmer should spare no pains to add this highly essential part.—Weekly Witness. Surgery For Trees. The successful treatment of trees by surgery is the subject of a report made recently by a botanist named Eberhardt to the Academy of Sciences, in Paris. M. Eberhardt has practiced it, he says, with entire success in Indo-China. He has often performed operations on tea plants, mulberry trees, orange trees and other tropical plants. Experiments-in cold climates have not met with much success so far, but it is believed the system can be used with advantage in the southern regions of Europe. The operations are not amputations, neither are they mere subcutaneous injections, such as have been made successfully in Europe for the cure of some parasitic disease of plants; they are surgical in the strictly modern sense. The method is adopted when the trees are attacked by insects which penetrate the bark and deposit their eggs in the wood. The long-horned beetle is a serious plague in Indo-China. The larvae hollow out galleries in the tissue of the trunk and branches; these interrupt the circulation of the sap, and the tree speedily withers and dies. Eberhardt's method consists of opening up the galery with a scalpel, removing the larvae with a forceps or curretting instrument and then flushing out the cavity with an antiseptic fluid, consisting of forty parts of glycerine, 110 of formaline and 850 of water. Three or four washings are given at intervals extending over about fifteen days, and at the end of that time cushions of vegetable tissue begin to appear along the edge of the scar, which heals completely in from six to eight months. It is essential during the first two or three months to protect the wound from light, which seems to stop the formation of new tissue. When the trunk is so seriously attacked as to render so radical an operation undesirable, M. Eberhardt pricks the cavity in the tree with a trocar, to which he affixes a syringe and injects a solution of 180 parts of formaline, sixty of glycerine and 760 of water. This he forces in until the cavity is filled to overflowing. Either the larvae come to the surface, when they are extracted with the forceps, or else they are poisoned. Two injections are usually made at eight days' interval. The formaline hardly seems to penetrate the woody fiber beyond the surface broken down by the parasites. The wound heals in time, and the tree seems to suffer no damage from the treatment, while its inevitable destruction by the parasite is prevented.—New York Sun. Convenient Fountain. Once in a while we see among the mass of inventions and contravances presented by our farm and fruit and poultry papers one that needs no second look to tell that it is an ideal fixture for the intended purpose. A glance shows that it will do its work and do it better than any other arrangement can. And now I come with my little contribution. It is a poultry water fountain, and my excuse for describing it to your readers is that it, too, fills the bill better than anything else of the-kind. Fill it in the morning, and your chickens, little or big, have a convenient supply of clean water for the day. Get your tinner to make a straight-sided gallon bucket, of tin or galvanized iron, with a cover soldered on airtight. Cut one side loose from the bottom for a length of four or five inches and hammer the loosened side back toward the centre of the bottom. As it goes back the edge rises, and when you have an inch to an inch and a half of the bottom exposed the edge will be about three-eighths of an inch above it. To make the water seal, a strip of galvanized iron or tin, three-fourths (1) Before Strip is Soldered On. (2) Finished. of an inch wide and as long as the cut in the side, is soldered around the edge of the bottom and at the ends. The cone-shaped dent or depression in the side of the bucket should extend two-thirds of its height. There are many poultry fountains made on the same principle, but none that I have seen or heard of that so completely protects the water from filth. As there is no extension from the original circumference of the bucket nothing can drop in the water from above. The drinking place seems small, and it would be small for a cow, but is not for a chicken. Often I have seen five and six grown hens drinking from it at once. To fill it, hold the opening under a faucet or use an old kettle with a spout, or submerge it in a larger bucket. To empty, lay on the ground, opening down. For little chicks, set it on the floor or ground; for those of larger growth, in a winter pen or scratching shed, set it on a block eight or ten inches high and turn the opening away from the most active scratching operations. Try it. It will save you lots of work and your chickens many a thirsty hour when you are absent, or when they have your pans or open fountains scratched full of chaff and dirt. It is not patented, and any tinner can make one for a little more than the cost of a gallon bucket.—E. J. Baird in New York Tribune Farmer. Farm Notes. In a clover country a farmer who owns a reed huller can make from $5 to $10 with it, net, by hulling for his neighbors. A good tool to cut turf around trees and along borders of walks can be made from an old hoe. Bend the shank out straight and sharpen from both sides. In calculating the size of the silo which you will need, the Cornell University bulletin says that it is advisable to estimate than an average 1000-pound cow will consume about forty pounds of silage per day. If you do not know how handy they are, attach chains to your mangers, the hitching post, and wherever you want to fasten a horse. Have a good snap in the end of the chain which can be quickly attached to the bolt rein. When ventilating poultry houses or hog houses, let the ventilator take in air about twelve inches from the bottom and carry it up to within twelve inches of the top before the next opening is made. The ventilator should run diagonally through the house. A good hog fence can be made by setting posts three feet high sixteen feet apart. Run a barbed wire three inches from the ground and another on the top. Then nail on good strong wire netting thirty inches wide. Draw all tight, and this fence will last a long time. An Iowa farmer suggests that a good way to prevent the dirt from getting to the oil bowls of the old-style disc harrows is to attach pieces of one-quarter inch gas pipe so they extend up from the oil pipes, through the box, keeping them closed with wooden plugs. A blacksmith will do this work at small cost. One quart of mash to twelve grown hens once a day is the proper allowance—if you insist upon feeding a mash. If you will conform to modern methods, however, and feed your mixed meals and clover in a dry state, you need not fret over how much to feed. Put in the hopper and let each hen choke down all she will. It's the natural way. You Look Prematurely Old A Lazy Liver May be only a tired liver, or a starved liver. It would be a stupid as well as savage thing to beat a weary or starved man because he lagged in his-work. So in treating the lagging, torpil liver it is a great mistake to lash it with strong drastic drugs. A torpil liver is but an indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled body whose organs are weary with over work. Start with the stomach and allied organs of digestion and nutrition. Put them in working order and see how quickly your liver will become active. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has made many marvelous cures of "liver trouble" by its wonderful control of the organs of digestion and nutrition. It restores the normal activity of the stomach, increases the secretions of the blood-making glands, cleanses the system from poisonous accumulations, and so relieves the liver of the burdens impassed upon it by the defection of other organs. If you have bitter or bad taste in the morning, poor or variable appetite, coated tongue, soul breath, constipated or irregular bowels, feel weak, easily tired, dependent, frequent headaches, or pain or distress in "small of back," grawning or distressed feeling in stomach, perhaps nausea, tachycardia or "rising" in throat after eating, and kindled symptoms of weak stomach and torpid liver in medicine will relieve you more promptly or cure you more permanently than Doctor Derecki's advice. The most probable of the above symptoms will be present at one time and yet point to torpid liver or billowness and weak stomach. Avoid all hot bread and biscuits, griddle cakes and other indigestible food and take the "Golden Medical Discovery" regularly and stick to its use until you are vigorous and strong. The "Discovery" is non-secret, non-alcoholic, is a glyceric extract of native medicinal roots with a full list of its ingredients printed on each bottle-wrapper and attested to.

Worst Case Doctors Ever Saw—Suffered Untold Misery—Perfect Cure. by Cuticura Remedies. "My son, who is now twenty-two years of age, when four months old begin to have eczema on his face, spreading quite rapidly until he was nearly covered. The eczema is something terrible, and the doctors said it was the worst case they ever saw. At times his whole body and face were covered, all but his feet. I used many kinds of patent medicines to no avail. At last I decided to try Cuticuca, when my boy was three years and four months old, having had eczema all that time and suffering misery. I began to use all three of the Cuticuca Remedies. He was better intwo months; in six months he was well. Mrs. R. L. Risley, Piermont, N. H., Oct. 24, 1905."

BORAX IS NATURE'S MINE OF PURITY FOR DAIRY UTENSILS Borax is first, a cleanser that removes dirt and grease with surprising ease; second, it is a sweetener that makes fragrant any surface that has grown musty or stale from neglect; third, it is an antiseptic or destroyer of germs. It prevents the development of bacteria or mouldy growths. With all this it is perfectly free from harm in its resulting effects. The farm churn is kept free from that stale odor if it is washed with borax in the following proportions—one tablespoonful of borax to a quart of water. The dairy room has nothing about it but the pleasant aroma of fresh milk and cream and sweet butter if it is kept clean with borax. There will be no soapy smell and no lurking hint of something gone wrong. The cream crocks take on an extra freshness when washed with borax and water in the following proportions—one tablespoonful of borax to a quart of water. This preserves the fresh flavor of the cream. The farm cream separator can be kept thoroughly sweet and clean by a wash of borax and water in the following proportions—one tablespoonful of borax to a quart of water.

"One Dose Will Convince" Needed His Horse Chestnut. J. G. Simpson, who had been arrested yesterday as an alleged bookmaker, tearfully begged Lieut. Wheeler, after he had been released for want of evidence against him, to return a horse chestnut which the lieutenant had taken from him. "Please let me have it," he pleaded. "I might just, as well try to play the races without money as without that horse chestnut. I can't lose if I carry it." When it was restored to him he seemed more glad to get it back than he was to obtain his discharge from custody. Simpson and W. G. Martin, a sailor on the cruiser Washington, at League Island, were arrested at Twelfth and Commerce streets. Simpson had a racing book in his hand, in which he had made a record of a $5 bet on a horse running at the Bennings track. As the police had seen no exchange of money between the men, Magistrate Gallagher allowed Simpson to go with a warning.—Philadelphia Ledger. Worth the Price.

Nothing I Ate Agreed With Me. MRS. LEMORI BODENHAMER. Mrs. Lenora Bodenhamer, R. F.

I took medicine from the doctor, but it did me no good. "I found in one of your Peruna books a description of 'my symptoms. I then wrote to Dr. Hartman for advice. He said I had catarrh of the stomach. I took Peruna and Manalin and followed his directions and can now say that I feel as well as I hope that all who are afflicted with the same symptoms will take Peruna, as it has certainly curved me."1 The above is only one of hundreds who have written similar letters to Dr. Hartman. Just one such case as this entitles Peruna to the candid consideration of every one similarly afflicted.

WOMAN'S ACTIVITY IN THE DAY'S NEWS Says Charges Are Result of "Spite Work" by Jealous Women. Cleveland, Ohio.—Charged with adjusting her garters in the presence of the pupils, Miss Pearl Gray, principal and teaching staff combined of the public school in Chardon, was triumphant in a trial before the Board of Education of the pretty little suburb. The trial was marked by much display of blitterness on the part of a score of women. They expressed their disapproval of the verdict in direct and forceful terms, and one indignant matron was applauded when she exclaimed: "It just goes to show what a woman who's said to be pretty can do with a trial board composed entirely of men. I'd like to have been on that board." Miss Gray took her victory quietly. She said it was, only what she had expected, and intimated that the charges were the result of "spite work," and she further expressed the opinion that there "are a lot of jealous women cats in Chardon." Asked for an explanation, Miss Gray said she had talks she didn't answer but the fact she did didn't nificance of her statement, however, may lie in the fact that Miss Gray is conceded by one-half of the population of Chardon, at least, to be the prettiest young woman in the town. There were six charges in all against the young teacher. First, of course, came the allegation that she frequently raised her skirts a few inches in adjusting her garters. Then, in turn, were read the separate counts, that she often immodely arranged her skirts in the presence of the pupils; that she was in the habit of sitting with her feet on her desk while she read novels; that she used improper language; that as jantor of the school, in addition to principal and teacher, she afflicted the taint by burning too much coal. Five children, ranging from seven to thirteen years of age, were called, as witnesses, but they proved of no avail, because they recited their testimony as if they were reciting a familiar lesson to Miss Gray. Miss Gray was easy and smiling on the stand. She moved the witness chair until her back was turned to the hostile female contingent, and then she beamed her prettiest upon her judges. These venerable guardians of Chardón's moral status continued to face the fair witness in dignified sternness, but it was asserted by more than one of the aggressive judges the judged even lumped sympathetic smiles and even nods of approval to the teacher. It took the board just fifteen minutes to absolve Miss Gray from all auspicion. She bowed her thanks to each member of the board, and then, in all the radiance of her early summer attire, she swept past the wrathful women, without deliging to give them a look.

The wedding was just about to be solemnized, when the local registrar went to the house of the bride-to-be and declared that inasmuch as she was down on his books as a boy, she could not be married to a man.

State Finds Them Successful in Protecting Children and Animals From Cruelty. Nashua, N.H.-The unique experiment of the State of New Hampshire to induce better enforcement of the laws regarding cruelty to children and animals by appointing two women as deputy sheriffs seems to have fully demonstrated its success by the reports made by Mrs. Jennie P. Powers, of Keene, and Mrs. M. Jennie Kendall, of Nashua, and will lead it, is believed, to several other such appointments. The work of both women is confined almost wholly to the enforcement of laws protecting children and animals from cruelty. Mrs. Powers Chesshead County under her jurisdiction, while Mrs. Kendall is responsible for Hillsboro County. The former devotes her time exclusively to the work of prosecuting wrong-doers, while Mrs. Kendall's time is only partially taken up by the work her home demanding the rest of her time. Armed with a camera and a revolver of heavy calibre, and thoroughly versed in the law covering her powers and duties, Mrs. Powers has gone fearlessly about her work, and in the last year has made sixteen arrests, killed forty-one horses and caused numerous prosecutions. Using her camera to obtain indisputable evidence, she notifies wrongdoers of the law and their duty. Failure to kill a maimed animal or a continuance of cruel treatment is followed at once by arrest and prosecution. Mrs. Powers personally assuming the responsibility of putting the animal out of the way or obtaining relief. Mrs. Kendall has confined most of her activities to Nashu and the immediate vicinity, where she has caused many arrests for cruelty to children and animals, followed by prosecution in the courts, and has had many animals killed. "I often find it necessary to make arrests," said Mrs. Powers, "and have locked up many offenders, including a number of men. I have a team and a driver and thus far have not met with any resistance when arresting a person. I usually inform a man or woman that I have been authorized to make the arrest, at the same time emphasizing the fact that any resistance will involve a greater penalty. As a rule this has been sufficient." Both deputies are constantly seeking new means of bettering conditions for which they are responsible. They visited Lowell last week to inspect a new gas system for the painless killing of animals, a method they purpose to introduce into New Hampshire, and at the same time consulted a Massachusetts veterinary with a view of having him visit New Hampshire and give lectures. Woman Justice Cuts. "Obey" and subsidiaries. Agrees. Chicago—Mrs. Catherine W. McCullain the only woman justice of the peace in the city has decided to leave out the word "obey" in performing marriage ceremonies. "That is a word that has outlived its usefulness," said she. "No man or woman expects the person he or she is going to marry to keep such a promise. I believe that instead of the word 'obey' I will use the word 'agree.' That's the one thing that brides and bridegroom should decide to do. If they always strive to agree there will be no need of 'obeying.'" Drowned in Vat of Whisky. William Kenney, an employee of the Walker Distillery, Walkerville, Ont., just across the Detroit River from Detroit, was drowned in a vat of whisky mash. Kenney fell into the fermenting vat and his body was discovered there.

Georgia Cullings Curtalled Items of Interest Gathered at Random. New Navigation Company. At a meeting of the business men in the offices of the Macon Chamber of Commerce the Macon and Brunswick Navigation company was formally organized and arrangements were made for the construction of two river steamers to be used in the traffic between Macon and Brunswick. Their carrying capacity will be 130 tons each, and blids, for their construction will be asked at once. They will be built in Macon. Goodyear Boosting Canal. Colonel C. P. Goodyear of Brunswick is energetically prosecuting his efforts to arouse public sentiment in the four states of Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and Kentucky upon the proposed construction of the canal from Macon to the Tennessee river, via Atlanta, to connect the river system of the west with the Ocmulgee and Attamaha and the Atlantic ocean. Colonel Goodyear thinks this canal will help solve the transportation problem, of the state, and will be of wonderful value to this part of the south. Colonel Goodyear believes this the most important suggestion for Georgia and the south in many years. Lowndes to Vote on Liquor: Lowndes to vote on Liquor. The prohibitionists of Lowndes county have succeeded in securing the required number of names to a petition for an election on the whisky question and the ordinary has named Monday, June 24th, as the day for the election. The campaign from now until that time promises to be hot on both sides. The prohis have been organizing and working through the churches for the past six months. Their first effort was to carry the town dry by act of the mayor and council. Tails movement met defeat, and they then turned to the voters of the county. It is understood that the anti-prohibitionists are preparing to make a vigorous campaign. The magnificent silver service, to be presented by the state to the battleship Georgia arrived in Atlanta Saturday, and was placed on exhibition in the windows of a local jewelry store. The public had been prepared in some measure for a dazzling display of plate, through pictures of the service, but it was not prepared for anything quite so sumptuous as the actual silver itself. The state of Georgia and the various towns contributing to the set have done themselves proud, and the battleship Georgia will be able to point with pride to one of the handsomest services of any vessel in the navy. Electrical Equipment for Americus. Representatives of the company awarded franchises for building a power plant and electric street railway in Americus have announced that the required bond of $25,000 guaranteeing compliance to terms of contract would be posted well within the time specified with the city council. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars will thus be invested in Americus immediately in electric equipment and a street railway of four miles circuit, this mileage to be increased as business justifies. The company has franchises for twenty years to light the streets and pump by electrical power the city's water supply. Want Garnishment Law Changed. At a meeting in Atlanta the past week of about six members of the Georgia Retail Merchants' Association, it was determined to introduce, when the legislature meets', a bill advocating that from 10 to 15 per cent of every person's salary, whether he does manual or brain work, be made subject to garnishment. "As matters now stand," said one of the members of the association, at the conclusion of the meeting, "the whole of a conductor's salary can be garnished, but none of a motorman's. Also an engineer's salary is subject to garnishment, but not his fireman. What we aim at. is to have passed a law that will treat everyone alike, whether he works with his hands or his brain." Fifty-two towns in Georgia were represented at the meeting, and it proved to be of more than usual importance. Unique Pardon Cases. Without having served a day of their sentences, though convicted in January, 1906, pardons have just been granted by the state prison commission to John Wesley, Landa and Newton Goodin of Spalding county. During December of 1905, a general row occurred at a dance in Spalding county, and O. M. Byars was killed. The Goodins were tried on the charge of killing Byars, and the first two named received sentences of eight years each, and Newton Goodin was given one year. They were released, pending an appeal, and since respites have been granted from time to time to allow the case to get before the prison commission. The evidence on which the men were convicted is said to have been slight, and hundreds of people signed the appeal for pardon. Fruit and Cotton Short. The fruit crop of Georgia this season will be one of the shortest in years, according to the statement of a prominent railroad freight official and railroads expect a big falling off in shipments outside of the state. In fact, so it is said, the crop will not be sufficient to supply the demand at home as the early spring has worked havoc with the orchards. The cool weather as well as the changeable seasons of the past month, when warm weather was needed for the early stage of the crops, has also resulted in serious injury and there seems to be little hope for even a medium crop. Cotton is also reported to be seriously affected by the weather conditions, and it is believed by some railroad officials that shipments will be decreased. Reports from orchard owners in north Georgia say that the crop this season will not be more than 10 per cent of last year's output. CRUSHERS' ASSOCIATION Of Georgia to Meet at Atlantic Beach, Fla., in Annual Convention Hon. J. A. Aycock, president of the Georgia Crushers' Association, will, from his home in Carrollton, Ga., in a few days, issue a call for this association to meet in annual convention at Atlantic Beach, Fla., on June 24 and 25. It has been the custom of this association to meet each year at Lithia Springs, Ga., but this year the delegates listened to the call of the waves and voted for the Atlantic ocean resort. During the year which is drawing to a close, great progress has been made in the association, and this will be shown in the annual reports of the officers at this meeting. An especially strong feature which is proposed for the meeting will be an address by Dr. George Brown of Atlanta, president of the Anti-Tuberculosis League of America, in which he will go into details concerning his recent investigations whereby he has proved the efficacy of cotton seed oil over cod liver oil as an emulsion to be used in the treatment of consumption. Another will be an article by Hon. J. L. Benton of Monticello, Ga., formerly secretary of this association, but who is now in Europe as a United States government expert on cotton seed oil and its by-products, who will write an interesting article on his investigations in that country for this southern product. It is expected that he will deal especially with the fact that the French chamber of deputies has decided to suspend the bill, which puts a prohibitive tariff on this commodity, because it competes with olive oil, a French product. This year the association will have, as its guest, the president of the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers' Association, who is L. A. Ransom of Atlanta, who was elected to this honor at the annual meeting of theassociation at Jamestown. The convention will be in session for two days, during which the Georgia rules will be made to conform to those being adopted by the Interstate Association. Large delegations of cotton seed oil manufacturers from Atlanta, Columbus, Macon, Augusta, Savannah, Athens, Albany, Rome, Waycross and LaGrange will be in attendance upon this meeting. There are 105 oil mills in Georgia and each of these is to be represented at this meeting. MRS. FREENEY FOUND GUILTY. Surprise Verdict in Case of Woman Who Killed Would-Be Libertine. At Eastman, Ga., the jury in the case of Mrs. Sallie Freeney, charged with the murder of W. P. Harrell, returned a verdict of guilty and recommended that she be imprisoned for life. Attorney Cooper and his associates immediately filed a motion for a new trial. Harrell, it was alleged, called upon Mrs. Freeney at her home to collect rent. In the course of the conversation, Mrs. Freeney declares Harrell made improper proposals. She repulsed him, but he persisted, and was advancing toward when she shot LIGHTNING HIT CLOTHES LINE.

To the Worshipful Masters, Wardens and Brothers: Greeting:—I have been informed by our Rt. W, Grand Secretary, Brother Sol C. Johnson, that the lodges of our jurisdiction are not complying to the law in forwarding their return to his office. These returns were ordered by the grand lodge to be in the office of the Grand Secretary not later than May 1st. He informs me that not half of our lodges have sent in returns. Dear brothers, this will inform you that the Grand Master is very much grieved to note this slothfulness on the part of some lodges. 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 lines. Let the returns now fall like rain in the office, of our Grand Secretary. Let every brother read and so be governed. Fraternally yours for a great and successful year, H. R. BUTLER, Grand Master. It is only about two weeks more before the Grand Lodge convenes. It is expected that each lodge in the jurisdiction will be represented, and all claims for Grand Lodge dues and home assessment be settled. St. John's Day, June 24th, must be duly celebrated. Grand Master Butler continues to add new lodges to the roster. The Eastern Star is booming in the state. If you haven't a chapter at your lodge write for information for the organization of one. Tuesday, June 11th, the Grand Lodge convenes at Americus at 9 a.m. Each lodge must be represented. In securing tickets ask your agents for a certificate, which entitles you to return at reduced rate. If your agent refuses to give you a certificate request him to give you a receipt for the money you pay for a ticket; an any rate insist on getting a receipt if not the certificate. A number of the lodges are still lagging behind in rendering reports. A good Mason never lags or violates a regulation. Has your lodge arranged for St. John's day? If not go to work at once and have it done. Macon will soon have a new lodge. Good for Macon. THE FIRST DEGREE. The word "apprentice," in its primary meaning, is "one bound by legal process for a certain time to learn a trade." Entered Apprentice is the first degree in all the rites of Freemasonry—English, German, France, Italian and Spanish. The meaning in all is the same, a learned. "Apprentice" also appears in nearly all other rites, Rite of Swedenborg, Philosophic Rite, African Architects, Egyptian Rite of Cagliostra, etc., being applied in much the same manner as in the rites of Freemasonry. The Entered Apprentice is therefore a beginner. It is in this degree that he is prepared for the positions of Fellow Craft and Master Mason. There is nothing of a historical character in the first degree, but its lessons are instructive and its lectures full of information respecting the fraternity. Its ceremonies are highly impressive, and being the introduction of the neophyte into the lodge are the foundation upon which the symbolic structure of Masonry is erected. The candidate is a representative of a spiritual cornerstone upon which it is to be erected nester and Masonic edifice. In this degree he receives the first impressions of the institution, and it is of the utmost importance that the beauties of the lessons be properly presented. A badly taught, Entered Apprentice, one who does not appreciate the step he has taken, will hardly make a good Fellow Craft or good Master Mason. There is, therefore, no place in all the work of the lodge where more careful work should be done than in the first degree. It often happens that masters do not seem to appreciate the grandeur of the lessons embodied in the ceremonies and lectures of the degree. Too often the work is carelessly done, glossed over and hurried through, and the candidate imperfectly instructed, in order that he may pass as hurriedly through the second degree and be hastened to the third. For the Master Mason's degree elaborate preparations are often made. Distinguished craftsmen are called on to assist in the work, and special efforts are made to secure a big crowd. This is often done to the neglect of the preceding degrees. An Idea, seems to prevail among some brethren that the sole object of Masonry is to confer the third degree. Once a man is a Master Mason the majority of Masons conceive that no further duty respecting him devolves upon them. He is not instructed as to the greater obligation devolving upon him in his new relationship to the fraternity, and if he ever gains a knowledge of the true meaning of the ceremonies and legends, he must do so by hard knocks on his own part. If there was as much care taken in conferring the Entered Apprentices Degree, as much study given to understanding and elucidating the sub lime lessons taught at every turn and in every step of the work as there apparently is in the third degree, there would be greater interest mank- fested in it by the brethren, better in- formed Masons, more zealous and useful members of the lodge. To our mind, instead of being the weaker part of Masonry, it is the most important. A weak foundation is not the kind up- on which to erect a building—Mason- lc. Standard. DAYTONA, FLA., DOTS.

Commissioners Consult With Robes- velt Aent Stake State Constitution. President Roosevelt Friday gave an audience to Messrs. Ledbetter, Moore and Hayes, democratic members of the Oklahoma constitutional convention, who were appointed by the president of that body to go to Washington to consult with the officials of the administration regarding its attitude toward the constitution recently adopted. The committee declined to state what the president said to them, but admitted that he had referred them to the attorney general for another conference. They pointed out that they were anxious that the president should indicate the objectionable features of the present constitution because then the convention could be reassembled and those features corrected. They did not want to have the constitution submitted to the people for ratification, to be followed by the president's disapproval of the instrument, which would delay the admission of the state until a later date. The committee said the people were anxious to have the constitution conform to the provisions of the enabling act. Man and His Father-In-Law Must. Face Court and Jury. G.L.
