The Savannah Tribune. VOL. XXII. World Famous Missionary Passes Away in China. Had Labored in Foreign Field Since Year 1858 — Highly Honored by Chinese Government—A Native of Georgia. A cablegram received in Atlanta Tuesday by Bishop Candler of the Methodist Church from China announced the death of Rev. Young J. Allen, one of the world's most noted missionaries. For more than forty years he led the missionary endeavor of the Orient and rushed forward with more determination and success than any man who ever lived to labor in missionary endeavors. He was a native Georgian and was born in Burke county. At the time of his death he was about 72 years of age. He is survived by a large family—a wife and six children. Having been left an orphan early in boyhood he was educateu by an uncle and graduated at Emory College, in Oxford, in the class of 1858. The following December he joined the Methodist conference at Columbus, was commissioned as a missionary to China, and sailed the following spring for Shanghai. In that city Dr. Allen's work was principally educational in feature. Though not minimizing the evangelical side of missionary work, his immediate labors were with the upper class of the Chinese. It was he who originally projected the famous Anglo-Chinese college at Shanghai and who was largely instrumental in founding the Scolety for the Diffusion of Christian and General Knowledge, at the same place. Besides his missionary enterprise, Dr. Allen was a prolific and forceful writer. He was the author of over one hundred books. He married Miss Mary Houston of south Georgia, having become engaged to her while she was a student at Wesleyan college, Macon, and he a student at Oxford. Edgar Allen, one of the sons, is a judge in Tien-Tsln, China, where he has a connection with the legal department of the government. Arthur H. Allen is in the United States government service at Shanghai. The daughters are Mrs. Mary Turner of New York, Misses Alice and Ethel Allen, who live in Shanghai, and Mrs. Mellie Loher, wife of a missionary, who also lives in Shanghai. Dr. Allen was last in America in 1906, when he attended the general conference of the Southern Methodists at Birmingham, Ala. He also left the empire as a delegate to the last ecumenical conference at London. Dr. Allen's influence in China was parallel to that of native born nobles. He was in fact created a mandarin by the emperor, an honor to a foreigner which is perhaps solitary in its uniqueness and which reflects the confidence in which the government and the people held him. It was the upper classes that Dr. Allen influenced through his personal charm and his masterly translations of native and English classics. No single missionary factor has been of greater consequence in bringing about the present transformed conditions in the far east than the Society for the Diffusion of Christian and General Knowledge. A number of these books he translated for the Chinese government. Of an intellect and sympathy exceedingly broad, the great missionary educator found no subject of government, economics, indus.rialism or sociology beyond his grasp. He was one of history's deftest interpreters between the peoples of the east and those of the west. Not only was he valued as a scholar, but as a diplomat and statesman as well. SNOW FALLS IN NEW YORK. Flurries Add Mildwinter Aspect to Advent of Summer Month. Snow fell in New York Sunday. The flakes did not fall to the pavements, but coming from a colder strata they swirled about the tops of the skyscrapers and before dissolving added a midwinter touch to the most remarkable June that New Yorkers have known. In the Catskills, where many New Yorkers have already taken up summer quarters, there were two heavy snow squalls during the day. NO TAR AND FEATHERS. Await Foraker Should He Elect to Visit Brownsville—Assurance Given and His Fear Allayed. A Washington special says: Senator Foraker was given assurance on Wednesday that it would be safe for him to visit Brownsville regardless of his efforts to prove that negro soldiers were not guilty of shooting up the town. At the conclusion of the testimony of Louis Cowan, of Brownsville, who was a witness before the senate committee on military affairs, Cowan said he had been quoted in special dispatches from St. Louis as saying that if Senator Foraker went to Brownsville he would be tarred and feathered. Cowan denied that he had made any such remark. "Then you think it would be perfectly safe for me to go there?" asked Senator Foraker. "Oh, yes, sir," said Cowan. "I greatly appreciate this assurance," said Foraker. The senator then referred to another special dispatch, saying that Cowan, on his way to Washington, compelled a negro porter to make up a berth in a Pullman car by threatening to shoot him. Cowan also denied the truthfulness of this story. Senator Foraker told Cowan that he had seen the stories, but thought so little about them that he had forgotten them. At the afternoon session of the committee Cowan was examined, closely concerning ammunition he purchased the day of the shooting, but this purchase was not connected in any way with the affray. He testified that he saw the flashes of shots from company 9 barracks as he stood in front of a saloon on Elizabeth street, but he did not see any negro soldiers. Bernard Kowalski testified that he attended a party at Cowan's house on the night of the shooting and as he sat in a window facing the alley some negro soldiers passed. The witness said that one of the negroes remarked that the people in the house were having a good time, but would not be in half an hour. R. B. Creager, United States commissioner at Brownsville, was examined concerning the Investigation by citizens of the shooting. CANNON'S SPEECH SUPPRESSED. "Uncle Joe's" Remarks at Banquet Were in Defense of the South. Stating that it got its information from a prominent Lexington man, who was present, the Lexington, N. C., Dispatch prints a story about Speaker Cannon's recent speech at the banquet at Guildford college, which, it says, has not been published by any paper, and in which it says Speaker Cannon made a sensational talk, so ultra-southern that his private secretary secured promises from newspaper men who were present not to print the speech at all. It is said that Mr. Cannon openly declared that the south was handling the negro question like it ought to be handled. He said that only the southern people know the ins and outs of the problem and his sympathies were with them. Without calling the constitutional amendment by name, he praised such a measure, throwing restrictions, as it does, around the ballot box. It is further said that he spoke strongly for state's rights. His hearers were amazed and his friends alarmed, for there was no telling how much damage he might do up north among the negroes, should such a tale leak out. Accordingly it was suppressed and the Lexington man expressed deep surprise that the story was not handled while hot and fresh. COLD LEAD FOR TWELVE. Would-Be Assassins of Guatemalan President Sentenced to Death. According to a telegram received in Mexico City twelve of the nineteen men condemned to death by court-martial proceedings because of an alleged attempt on the life of President Cabrera of Guatemala, will be executed. Eleven of these men are Guatemalans. One of the Mexicans accused, Jose Mendoza, was exonerated. The other Mexican implicated, Nazaro Mendoza, was sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment. Two of the italians charged with complicity were each sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment. One of the other foreigners, a Spanlard, will be executed. The dispatch characterizes the condemned men as honorable and innocent victims. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. JUNE 8. 1907. JEFF DAVIS SHAFT AN IMPOSING CEREMONY Great Demonstration Eyes as Canvas is Drawn and Tearful Eyes Greet Magnificent Figure of South's Cherished Idol. An everlasting memorial of Jefferson Davls, the patriot and statesman, who was the chosen leader of "The Lost Cause," and the first and only president of the Confederate States of America, was unveiled in Richmond, Va., Monday, as the crowning feature of the annual reunion of the Confederate veterans. Under a perfect sky, with bands playing crashing music, in which "Dixie" and "Maryland" were prominent; the remnants of the armies of the gray passed through the streets of the Virginia capital, and out on splendid Monument avenue, where the shaft stands. Every member of the body of old men who were able to walk at all took part. The day and the event will live forever in the memory of those present. Second only to the tribute given to the memory of Dixie Land's great chifetain were those offered on every hand to the women of the south, whose gift the monument is. The ceremony was one of the south. No other section had any part in it. The veterans who fought for the "Lost Cause," were gathered together to pay their tribute to the man whose memory is revered above all others. The speeches counseled the teaching of loyalty to the cause for which the southern states struggled, but there was nothing in the teachings but what elicited the sympathy and approval of visitors from other sections. That the great multitude had gathered for one purpose alone was evidenced by the attitude of the people toward William Jennings Bryan, who was the guest of the reunion. He was given a remarkable ovation as he drove through the streets in the line of march, and cheered to the echo as he mounted the stand just before the program was begun. At the conclusion of the unveiling ceremony there were a number of calls for him to address the people, but these were immediately drowned in a chorus of "No, no, no!" many times repeated. The objections came from everywhere, and were led by the women of the Jefferson Davis Monument Association. General Stephen D. Lee, grand commander, who presided at the stand, announced in ringing tones: "There will be no politics here." As soon as his name was called, Mr. Bryan made a movement as though to withdraw from the stand. He realized that if he appeared before the people a political motive would be attributed to him by many, and for that reason he had opposed going on the stand at all. The prompt suppression of the calls saved an embarrassing situation. One of the most touching incidents of the day was the presentation of the descendants of Mr. Davis to the great throng. This occurred at the conclusion of the program, Mrs. J. Davis Hayes of Colorado Springs, Colo., was led forward first and introduced as the daughter of President Davis and then followed Mrs. Alice Hayes and Jefferson Hayes Davis, whose name was transposed by an act of the legislature to perpetuate the name of the Confederate chieftain; William Davis Hayes and Mrs. Webb, all children of Mr. and Mrs. Hayes. Last of all, Davis Hayes Webb, the great-grandson of Mr. Davis, was introduced. The great crowd cheered each one enthusiastically and kept Mrs. Hayes to the front of the stand many minutes bowing acknowledgments to their puids. The event was a fitting close to what is universally recognized as probably the last "great gathering of the Confederate veterans." THREE PERISH IN FLAMES. Man, Wife and Child Are Cremated In a Fire at Newark, N. J. Three lives were lost and thousands of dollars' damage was done in a fire which started shortly before 2 o'clock Monday morning in Newark Turn Veren hall, at Newark, N. J. Eight families occupied the floors above the hall, and the policemen were kept busy rescuing' women and children. FRED BUSH ACQUITTED. Atlanta Man on Trial for Sending- Infernal Machine to Young Wpman Exonerated. At Atlanta_Friday afternoon; after being, out one hour and ten minutes, the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty in the case of Fred Bush, charged with sending an infernal bomb to the McCarthy home on the night of May 8. The case went to the jury at exactly 2:30 o'clock, and at 3:40 the verdict had been made. The state introduced comparatively little new evidence, and none of it of a direct nature. The defense, on the other hand, produced no witnesses whatever, although it had summoned several. Its efforts were directed, for the most part, in an attack against the prosecution's testimony. It was largely a battle of lawyers, both sides making able and, at time, heated arguments. The state introduced three witnesses. They were Patrolman McGill, John Ballinger, a negro messenger boy; and Ed McGill, a white messenger boy. Patrolman McGill testified to having seen Bush twice on the night of the explosion, and at a time an hour or more after Bush had said he was in his room asleep. The negro boy said that Bush looked like the man who gave him a package in front of 1 North Forsyth street, on the night of the explosion. He could not identify him positively, however, and his testimony was ruled out. The McGill boy simply testified as to having taken the package from Ballinger and delivered it at the McCarthy residence. Bush's statement was in the nature of a general denial of what the state charged against him. He protested that his wish to interfere with the proposed marriage between Doolittle and Miss Katie McCarthy, for whom the machine was intended, was a business one, as Doolittle spent too much time at the phone talking to her. Bush was unperturbed throughout the trial. Not even when Mr. Hill pointed him out to the spectators and the jury as the guilty man did he wince. He talked on the stand without neryousness, and deliberately. He detailed all his movements on the night of the explosion. Mr. Hill had characterized the relations between Bush and Doolittle as strange ones, and said that the affection shown by Bush to Doolittle surpassed that of a man for a woman. He made an able speech. Mr. Goodwin, associate counsel for Bush, declared that the newspapers had blackened the characters of both Bush and Doolittle, but he was interrupted by the court and told to confine his argument strictly to the evidence in the case. Mr. Rosser, chief counsel for Bush, also took a fling at the "argus-eyed" reporter. On the announcement of the jury's verdict applause broke out in the court room. The judge cautioned the spectators about making any display. The deputy sheriff rapped loudly for order, and the judge demanded to know who had applauded, but nobody could tell him. "I do not mean to say that I approve or disapprove of the verdict," said Judge Roan. "There has been a fair and full trial, and twelve good men have made a verdict. I simply wish you to understand that the court room is not a place for any such display, no matter what the verdict may be." IMPALED ON PICKET FENÇE. Telephone Employee Meets Tragic Death at Cartersville. While talking with some friends, B. C. Peters, an employee of the Southern Bell Telephone company, fell over the baluster of the second-story porch at the Bell hotel at Cartersville; Ga., and as he dropped toward the ground his body was impaled on a picket fence. Two of the pickets passed through his body, causing death an hour later. AWAITING REPORT OF CHEMIST Dr. Rowland and New Wife Are Held in North Carolina. Safely secured behind prison bars, charged with the crime of poisoning his 11-year-old son, and accused of causing the sudden death of Engineer Strange, Dr. David Rowland, a prominent physician of Raleigh, N. 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. A TRAIL OF BLOOD Was Left By Orchard, Star Witness Against Haywood. ASTOUNDING STORY TOLD Self-Confessed Multi-Murderer Makes Revelationps on Stand That Appall Great Crowd In Boise Alfred Horseley, alias Harry Orchard, the actual assassin of Frank Steunenberg, went on the stand in the district court at Bolse, Idaho, Wednesday a witness against William D. Haywood, and made public confession of a long chain of brutal, revolting crimes, done, he said, at the inspiration and for the pay of the leaders of the Western Federation of Miners. The promise by the special prosecutors for the state that they would by later proof and connection legitimize his testimony opened the way like a floodgate to the whole diabolical story, and throughout the entire day Orchard went on from crime recital to crime recital, each succeeding one seemingly more revolting than those that had come before. Orchard confessed that, as a member of the mob, that wrecked the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill, in the Coeur d'Alene, he lighted one of the fuses that carried fire to the giant explosives; confessed that he set the death trap in the Vindicator mine, at Cripple Creek, that blew out the lives of Superintendent McCormick and Foreman Beck; confessed that because he had not been paid for his first attempt at violence in the Vindicator mine, he had been treacherous to his associates by warning the managers of the Florence and Cripple Creek railway that there was a plot to blow up their trains; confessed that he cruelly fired three charges of buckshot into the body of Detective Lyte Gregory of Denver, killing him instantly; confessed that for days he stalked Governor Peabody about Denver waiting a chance to kill him; confessed that he and Steve Adams, discharged the mine under the depot at Independence that instantly killed fourteen men and confessed that falling in an attempt to poison Fred Bradley of San Francisco he blew him and his house up with a bomb. And he has yet more brutal crimes to tell that will bring his bloody career down to its end at Caldwell, where, with a great bomb, he killed Governor Steunenberg. Orchard retained control of himself almost from the moment he took the s.and, and if he suffered he did not show it. He seemed at first to lose a little of his physical control; for he walked unsteadily as he neared the stand and reached in an indefinite way for the arm of the chair. He had trouble in finding his voice for a few minutes, but only a few moments. He quickly steadied himself and was soon talking in the soft, easy tones that characterize his speech. Orchard was on the stand when adjournment for the day was taken. Five witnesses, who at various times prior to the Steunenberg murder traced Horsley and Jack Simpkins, and further fixed their movements by identifying hotel registers, where they had signed their names, consumed the first hour of the morning session. FIFTY-SEVEN WERE INJURED Plunge of Southern Passenger Off a 15- Foot Embankment. Going at a speed of between twenty and thirty miles and hour, Southern passenger train No. 2, leaving Nashville, Tenn., at 10:30 a.m., plunged off a 15-foot embankment at Black Branch, near Lebanon, thirty-three miles east of Nashville, shortly after 11 o'clock Wednesday morning, injuring some fifty-seven people out of a list of sixty on board. CONSPIRACY CHARGED JUDGES. Sensational Affidavit Lands Secretary of Oil Company in Jail. Judge Hook of the United States circuit court at Leavenworth, Kansas, Wednesday sentenced H. H. Tucker, Jr., the indicted secretary of the Uncle Sam Oil company, to serve three months in jail for contempt of court, the contempt being a sensational affidavit filed by Tucker, alleging a conspiracy between federal Judges Pollock, McPherson and Phillips and the Standard Oil company to drive the Uncle Sam company out of business.ness. SPINNERS AND GROWERS Stand Together In Opposition to Speculation In Fleecy Staple—Vienna Congress Closes. The International Cotton Congress, held in Vienna Austria, came to an end May 29. The attitude of the congress was, on the whole, favorable, the most important thing the congress did was to reach an understanding as to how cotton could be ginned, baled and delivered. An interesting feature was the fact that both growers and spinners were united in opposition to speculation in cotton futures and in this connection a resolution was passed in favor of the compression of the cotton at the ginneries or at the point of production. In the matter of the question of tare the congress adopted a resolution establishing a maximum allowance of tare at 22 pounds per bale, instead of the 6 per cent of the gross weight of the cotton as is now the custom. This arrangement works in favor of the American growers. The spinners expressed a desire for closer and more direct relations with the growers of cotton, and this attitude on their part may be taken as a recognition of the views on this subject presented by the American delegates to the congress, who, in their addresses, labored to disabuse the minds of the spinners of the idea that the American growers had any intention of unduly advancing the price of cotton. Another resolution passed by the congress expressed the satisfaction of that body with the statement made by the American representatives that the Americans intend to adopt every possible measure to improve the existing methods of transporting cotton from the plantations to the spinners. The question of insurance was referred to the next congress In the matter of the extension of cotton culture the congress expressed the opinion that all countries where efforts are being made to extend the area of cultivation are deserving of liberal support. The congress was prompted to pass this resolution by the recognition of the fact that the world's supply of cotton should not depend upon the climatic conditions of any one country. Speaking on this subject, the American delegates declared that according to their experience those European countries who are trying to introduce the culture of cotton into their various colonies are laboring with slight prospects of success. Harvie Jordan reminded his hearers that during the civil war in the United States efforts then adopted to this end were more persistent than today and that they were in vain. Daniel G. Roper concluded his address with an appeal to the delegates to the congress to participate indirectly in the growing of cotton on American soil. He declared it, would be a good thing if the European growers of cotton would send their surplus of able agriculturalists to the United States in order to help extend the cultivated area in that country, saying this method would dispose definitely with the question, where the world in the future would get its necessary supply of cotton. The English delegates spoke in favor of the greatest possible decentralization of cotton growing, declaring that today Europe was as much dependent as ever on one part of the world the bulk of its cotton supply. This view was seconded by the German delegates and as an outcome of this difference of opinion the congress passed the resolution to the effect that all cotton growing countries should receive general support. Mob Takes Negro from Jail and Launches Him 'Into Eternity. Henry Johnson, a middle-aged negro, was lynched at Echo, La., Saturday night by about 150 men, who took him from jail. He was charged with attempted criminal assault upon the wife of his employer. Johnson had worked about a year for Ephraim Pearce, a prominent planter. Mr. Pearce was absent from home and during this time the negro made his attack. CHANGE OF VENUE GRANTED. Former Judge Loving Will Be Tried at Houston, Va., June 24.

But Evelyn knew bet- ter—it was Jack—her darling little brother Jack, and he had come to stay’ -aeith her always. She told mamma all about it the next morning In her quaint, solemn fashion, and was quite charmed when mamma gave her permission to play with Jack whenever she Mked, so every night Jack's erlb grew up be- side her own in the narsery and every morning while’she was being dressed she dressed Jack very carefully, and all day Jong she talked and played with him, untit Jack—the fanciful creation of a queer child—began to ‘occupy a real place in the household. ‘Evelyn never forgot him under any circumstances; wherever she went. whatever sho dld, Jack was there, auc. whenever sho walked in the street she always held out her hand as if she were holding Jack's and talked to him as-earnestly as If he were really trotting beside her. What did it matter it other littie sirls and boys had sisters and broth- ers. She had a brother—the dearest, sweetest thing, and there were thril- ng adventures now to fill up each day, ‘An only child has to be dressed about three times as often as three children, or even a half dozen cntt- dren, and when an only child happens to have long golden curls and a very particular nurse those are times of ‘suffering indeed; but Jack's coming made a difference, because, as mam- ma said, she had to be very good and patient for fear of being a bad ex ample for Jack. 4 ‘As she grew older and the curls, were gathered together in a bright, thick plait, she sorrowfully decided wat Jack’s hafr must be cut. ‘This yras an awful day. She took him {nto ‘the nursery and talked to him very kindly ahouteit, but poor Jack erled and cried and she cried, too, while she snipped them off with her own hands. But by lunch time it was over, and when Evelyn told of the dreadful “scene in the nursery she was glad to hear mamma say that short hair was very becoming to Jack and made him Took so much more Ike a real boy. ‘There came a day at last when It was decided to send Evelyn to school; she was nearly eight years ‘old, and could read and write quite nicely; she had even taugbt Jack, so ‘that he was not far behind her, and they could both do difficult sums in addition and subtraction. “I wonder if Miss Murray takes boys," she sald, when she and her mother were discussing the pew gebool. “I'd ike Jack to «o.” ve Mrs, Gregory with a smile, “but I think you can risk ft; I'm sure he will be very good,” and then they both laughed, for Jack's bringing up was quite a joke between them. Evelyn wag very shy at first; she and Jack cowered together in the same seat and. gripped hands very tightly under her desk, but her new compan- ions were very ufce children and did their best to put her at her ease, so at the end of a week she bezan to feel quite at home. It fs wonderful how fast this only child fell Into the ways of the others, but, sad to relate, poor Jack was very much neglected. When one has a dozen real Iittle girls to play with, ic. follows quite naturally that 2 “makebelieve” brother is not so necessary as a companion. After the first few days at school Evelyn decided that it was better to leave him at home, so every morning "she settled him tomfoftably in the nursery, surrounded by all her pic- ture books and toys, gave him a hearty hug and kiss and hurried off without him; but she was very ‘particular about his iessons when she came home, going over and over them with him, until he and she knew them by heart, and when the night came, and they were supposed to be sound asleep she would tell him all the day’s doings, chattering away as she had always done. ‘The straugest part of it all was that she never told ner new friends about Sack. : “They woulkln’t understand,” she ‘said to herself, as she gave Jack an extra remorseful hiss and took him out for a walk, But things grew worse and,’worse for poor Jack. The nursery was In- yaded by these strange Ittle dirls, and Evelyn had to shake her head and make signs to him to keep very still, so they would not know he was ‘in the room. She was actually ashamed of Jack, and she sometimes forgot to take him ont for days together. One Sundey morning—a very *par- tlewlar Sunday, for Evelyn was going to church with?mamma—she was ut- usually grave and quiet, not even the knowledge that under her long coat was a dainty new dress and that she would have her favorite ice cream for dinner could bring a smile to her sol- emn little face. s “Wait a moment, mamma,” she said, just as they were ready to start, “I must Ue Jack's cravat. “Oh, we're to have Jack, too?” ashed mamma. “¥es—this time—come on, Jack.” And Evelyn held out her hand as she always did when Jack went along. All through the services she sat with Jack’s hand fast in_hers,. and once or twice she bent down and whispered to him, though mamma shook her head—for Evelyn never could whisper. ‘Then wheh they were walking home in the Brilliant sunshine mamma no- ticed that Evelyn no longer held Jack’s hand; instead, she ,held her own snugly, in her dittle ermine muft. “Why, where's Jack?’ she asked, struck by the child's unusual silence. The blue eyes met hers and filled with ters. “I—I left him in the church,” she sald-with a sob, “and I’m afraid he'll never be able to find hls way home again.” . “I'm so sorry,” said mamma, and slie took one of the little hands out of the muff and held it firmly. ‘Per- haps be may come by himself.” Bitt Evelyn shook her head, and though she missed him sadly enough at first, and often dreamed about him, und sometimes even ericd for hini, and wondered what she would ever do without him, Jack never did come Spat Out Bullet and Three Teeth.

According to the London Dairy, about a year ago Professor McConnell stated his belief that stripplag was ab- sglutely necessary; he now begs to take it all back—as, since then he bas tried his cows the other way with the most satisfactory results. They aro now milked out at one sitting, and if a.small quantity be left in the tag, the Professor argues, it does the cow no harm, but helps to swell the total yield at next milking time. If there is any possible gain, then, in stripping he con- tends that it'fs discounted by the. barra done to the cow by the stripper in Starting her nervous force once more. Helps in Hog Fattening. An authority on swige, tells us that the fattealng hogs will do better if al- lowed a place to dig Into the dry earth as the earth §s a natural antidote for acidity of the stomach. Fatteniug hogs should always have acceés to salt. Coal ashes and screenings are excellent for them, and this sort of refuse should find a place in the hog yard or in the pens. ‘The hogs will eat every bit. It is an excellent corrective for them, and helps to give them an appetite. Charcoal is a superior’ corrective, but it is com- paratively costly, whereas coal ashes cost nothing. The fine ashes absorb the juice of the manure, and are ren- dered valuable Jn this way for a fer- tilizer—Weekly Witness. ‘There is Founder in the Wind. A fine young horse was driven eight miles by a city mam and tied in an open barn where the wind drove in on to its heated body. The result was, although the day wes warm, the horse was made “as-stiff as a stick” in all Its limbs.* It should have had a blan- ket put on to it, or been taken from the carrlage and walked about until cooled. The best way was not to have ariven so hard when there was no haste and so not have abused the horse and spolled it. Some people must, or do, drive cruelly, when a few min- utes longer time on the way would save the horge and carriage twenty- five, or, perhaps, fifty percent in wear and tear.—Weekly Witness, ‘dhmdione Taneaieea: Since 1899 Prof. Halsted of New Jer- sey has been giving some attention to seedless tomatoes. At the very start the fruit was large and was called the Giant. The variety seems to be well fixed and the flavor ts excellent. The frolts, however are becoming smaller. In the case of another hybrid some of the fruits In each cluster do not at- tain a size larger than peas, but. they go through the regular stages of ripeu- {ng and remain seedless. Prof. Hal- sted has also obtained seedless _ fruits from several other crosses, showing that this 1s quite a common phenome nou In the breeding of tomatoes. In some cases the flavor bas been pro- ‘nounced moré Ike that of a straw- berry. x * Recently Prof. Sandsten of Wiscon- sin has demonstrated that the use of excessive quantities. of fertilizers ex- ercises a truly remarkable effect upon tomato plants. It appears that the plants react differently io overfeeding. Some are dwarfed, some greatly elong- ated, some lie flat upon the ground and in many the flowers and fruits are very abnormal. On two différent types of plants thus produced seedless tomiatoes were grown. One type produced a large, solid tomato, while the other bore fruit not larger than a walnut. Both types come true when propagated from cut tings. “Several other plants were obtained which produced fruits of an interme- -diate character, with fewer seeds than in normal tomatoes and irregularly dls- tributed. Prof. Sandsten does nok con- sider either type of seedless tomato commercially valuable at present,” but they may become so.—Country Life in America. Growing Draft Horses. A draft horse breeder and grower from colt-hood gives some of his own experience in draft™horse management, and especially developing them from colts. In his recent address at a Kan- sas “breders’ association he sald: ‘With careful heed and attentica the first winter the smaller breeds of horses like the trotters, will usually attain to @ proper dezree of development, with- out a sreat deal of extra attention thereafter. But I have found that it paid well to push the development of my draft colts ‘during the second year. It hag been my practice to feed the horse colts, and sometimes the fillies, a light ration of grain or pasture dur- Ing the second sunimer, One who has never tried it will be amazed at the remarkable development a Wraft cohdt remarkable development a draft colt will show in one summer swith a very small grain ration on good’ pasture. 1 suppose oats would be recommended for this purpose by-the authorities om feeding, but I have had very satisfact- ory results with corn alone. Grass seems to provide all the elements necessary to balance the small corm ration. The expense of such a grain ration Is small. I have found that a quart each of shelled corn and oats, or a quart and one-half of shelled corn gave very satisfactory results. This 43 about 60 cents per month expense for grain. I am sure I have never re- celved as large returns from an equal amount of expense, as this grain ra- tion fed on pasture will give in the growth and development of a draft colt during Its second summer. After that a moderate grain ration, nd reasonable care, during the sec- ond winter, practically completes the development ‘ofa draft colt. The foundation has been lafd for that per fect development of form, that makes an attractive horse. He will be more easily kept on good roughness with 2 very lgbt ration of grain thereafter than any other stock on the farm. Af ter they are two past, my horses cost me less to winter them than my cat- tle, and do better on ordinary pasture in summer. ‘The second year’s feed and care is perhaps not so important with the lighter breeds of horses, aS it is with the draft breeds, where bone and weight are prime requisites on the market. The {mportant things to se- cure the nice development of bone and conformation during the earlier and more rapidly growing period of the colt’s life. . The colt or yearling may become ua- thrifty with the best of feed and care unless they are Kept free from lice. A’ tablespoonful per colt—of sulphur mixed with thelr fecd—and fed alter- nately once every other day will quickly rid the colts of lice—Indiana Farmer. Farm Notes. Unclean seed has more to do with the distributton of weeds than all other causes combined. No chicken ration of ground feed is complete without the addition of a small proportion of linseed meal. Peat fodder for cattle is made in Germany of the top layer of peat, mix- ed with'70-75 percent of molasses. From one birch tree in Woodford, Vt., Albert Scultz recently cut two fourteen foot, two twelve foot and two ten-foot logs, the latter eight Inches in diameter. Answering an inquiry as to the age when a cow is’at her best a writer says the best one he ever owned was bought when she was eighteen years old—but that was an exception. It is claimed that on an average the food of a cow should yield 2 1-2 percent in dry food matter of her own weight, wut this depends upon many condi> tions. A small cow will sometimes eat @ Jatger quantity and produce more than a larger one. Professor Taylor of New Hampshire says that if a man had started In to save one dollar per minute ‘from the birth of Christ until the present time he would not yet have saved money enough to buy Iast year’s corn crop. in the United States. An act has been introduced {hto the House of Commons, Canada, designed to fix the wejghts at which eggs shall be sold in the Dominion. It provides that unless otherwise, especially agreed upon between the buyer and the seller, eggs shall be sold by weight, and the weight equivalent to a dozen shall be one pound and a half. Spruce Gum Is Now Valuable. Like returning smfners from rich diggings, the “‘gummers” are coming ‘down from the great spruce forests of Northern Maine heavily laden with bulging sacks of what is now the most precious tree product of the woods— spruce gum. * ‘Spruce gum has hardly reached the “weight in gold” figure, but the lover of the balsamic “chaw” for which there is no real substitute must pay at the rate of $2.10 a pound for what could a short time ago be, had fer next to nothing. 7 ‘An experienced gummer dt the pres- ent ptices can easily clear $500 for bis winter's work; some clear much more. —Bangor Dispatch to New York World. nn Deact: eee Wirth = Fortune. ‘M.

Bow would you like to be Congressman Edwards? By his own he is being disowned. The action of the City Couucil in only receiving his letter against Collector Deveaux as informa- tion, isa crusher. The people don’t want him, why dont he resign? Srrenvous efforts must be madetocurb the disrespectful and weak habits of certain of our small boys and girls. Un- leas this is done immediately, when they become grown, they will be a curge to the race. The pulpit, teachers and homes must joinin this crusade. Tne thirty-eighth commence- ment of Atlanta University, was held last week, also the twelfth Atlanta Conference for the study of the Negro pro- blems. The commencement ex- ercises and the conference proved very interesting. The University isone of the leading educational insjitutions in the South, regardless of race. PRESIDENT FuipPeR is mak- ing Morris Brown one of the best colleges inthe South. The commencment exercises were in- deed grand and witnessed by hundreds of friends of the insti- tution. Dr. Flipper is an able man, towering over many and deserving the honors of his church. He is a well developed timber for the bishopric to which place he is assured of election. ONE of the curses of the race is a certain class of traitorous men in the gab of preachers. The action of certain ones of them in the street car matter de- serves the severest condemna- tion of the people. For a few paltry dollars they will sell their manhood rights and endeavor to ruin those who are weak enough to follow them. Tue daily papers attempted to make the public believe that Mr, Padgett and his wife and children who were murdered in Tattnall County two weeks ago were undesirable citizens. Mr. Padgett was among the peace- able and law-abiding citizens of the county. He was prosperous and if he had lived would have cleared over $4,000 from his own farm and turpentine hold- ings. He was the owner of three farms. Do these things prove that he and his family were bad, people? Possibly in the sight) of those who are inimical to race progress, Nextweekin the city of Americus the Grand Lodge of Masons will hold its thirty- seventh annual communication. This is the oldest institution among our people in the state and is doing much good for the moral up-lift of those represent- ed. The order is composed of the leading race men ot the State. Its sessions are largely attended, and business is trans- acted with Precision and a knowledge of Knowing and im- mediate doing. Heated debates are,among the rarities of these sessions. Harmory of action is the key-note. The Masona are doing a work thatno other secret institution in the state 1s doing except the white Masons, in maintaining a home for the widows and orphans of deceased ‘Masons. This is practical chari- ty and the members of ‘the vari- ous lodges of the order who contribute so unselfishly each year toward its support are only Practicing true masonic charity. rand Master Butler and his officers need to feel commended for the good work that their jJarisdiction is doing, especially ‘ig the moral unlift of the people in the State. SiMr. Edwards, . Recenstder.** The Labor Advocate, the official paper in Augusta, Ga., in its issue of May~25, speaks very plainly to our young and indis- creet, Congreeman from this district. ‘his young man is ‘trying to make a bold front and ‘toride into popularity by rais- ing the color question, but he will iail ignominiously. The Advocate-gives him the b Nowino'estallane alvin © “Congressman Charles G, Edwards, of Savannah. representing the First Coa: gressional district, has sent a letter te the mail carriers of Savanna, In which he says he, will not give them an audience because they are negroes. “The people of the grand old First have the sympathy of right thinking per- song, because the attitude of Mr. Edawrds is incompatible with the duties of a pub- fle servant to his constituents. 7 “They have our sympathy because ‘Mr. Edwards’ views are those of a very small mind; because they have no place, either In equity or popular form of government. Ute beyond our comprehension to sug- ext a possible motive for such a foolish and narrow #iew. It is really unfortunate. _ “Mr Edwards is the legal adviser of the ‘Savannah Trades and Labor Assembly, a confederation of Savannah's union men. He knows, or should know, that organiz: ed labor does not discriminate against one on account of color, creed or national- Ity. Itcamnotde so under the laws of the American Federation of Labor, and the Savannah Trades and Labor Assembly can s0 tell him. “Let us use a few hypothetical cases: Suppose an organization of young Irish- men asked an audience with him, but were refused because of their nationality? “Bupposea body of Methodists or Bap- tists sought an audience, but failed be- cause of their religious belief ? “Mr, Edwards bas made a mistake. He should rectify his false step by reconsider- ing the negroes, request fur a bearing. There can be no doubt but that Congress. man Edwards usefulness hasbeen dealt a severe blow, “We doubt not but that the people of Savannah are broadminded and liberal in their views and in the clreumstances de- sire no repetition of acts such as the one perpetrated by their Congressman. Ie is with pléamure that we note that the Hon. Samuel B. Adams_and other un- selfish, broad and brainy men have orga- rized w society to cultivate and promote a more harmonious feeling between the two races. For them our wish is sue- cess,” And Still Another Enter- prises . A colored fire insurance company is being organized by a number of our businessmen, It is a field that is but little exploited hy our people, and there iano reason why it can- not be made a paying business, Ap- plication for charter is now being made and will be granted within the next fifteen daye. The headquarters of the company will be in this city. Lawyer F. B. Pettie has charge of the legal side of the company and expects to have it thoroughly or- ganized. A Valuable Purchase. The Union Savings and Loan Co., the firss Negro savings bank in the state to buy. its own banking house as this company succeeded in doings few weeks ago, when they purehased the three atory brick building at No 14 State street, west. This building isin the heart of the business district of Savannah, and commands a beautiful view of the post office -and Bull street. It is the intention of the directors to have the building arranged as an office building for the present, but in the future they mean to ereot a first-class Negro banking house and office bnilding.

This will occur at the end of July, and will attract tiousands of persons from every part of the country to the city and the section of the country where their ancestors lived and where their affections are centered. ‘The citizens of Boston have made liberal preparations for a grand cele- ‘ratlén of the history and achieve; ments of Boston and the Common- wealth of Massachusetts, Thete will be a week of midsummer reunions af families and of public festivities.

And thence arises a pioneer’s problem as yet unhandy to solve: How shall the wo- men propate? , No auswer stands ready, for we have no colcalal past. Where in England a mother, a sister, an aunt, or at the remotest, a next neighbor could give from actual experience the best of practical advice, here there is none to gultle. Consequently, we proceed at | hazard, make serious or awkward mis- takes, and pay high and Jong for a oe of knowledge by whlclr posterity, perbaps may profit. | It may be fixed as a first ptinciple ‘that every branch of —_housewifely Knowledge is an asset ardently to be sought. Cooking, nursing, sewing, dress making, laundering, gardeving— the lst might string on indefinitely, yet contain nothing that could confe amiss. You who are about to emigrate may find competent native service in that far spot to which you go. You ‘may be able to sit care-free while the ‘domestic wheels revolve in flawless ‘peace. But the overwhelming prob- ability is that in your new dwelling— whether it beya camp in the Canat Zcne, a pink Villa on a Porto Rican “hill, or a nipa shack in some undomes- tieated Philippine island—there await your employ certain slow, smiling, def- erential, but utterly casual and unad- vised beings, whose education you must take ably in hand if you wish to éara your salt a$ a maker of a real home. * The fuctor of money diminishes here to Its lowest value. It is no longer the woman who can pay, but the wom- an who can Qo, that shines. And if she rivet the meat platter when {t breaks—unnumbered leagues from a Crockery shop—speak Spanish | or French with the valued but unintelli- gible «stranger, give a civilized turn to collars and cis, raise good let- tuce, or sing a song to brighten a dull night, so much the more to her honor. Her price is above rubies, and her fame shall be as a%gadfly, stinging the soul of many a weaker‘ sister 1or.jeurs to come. Let us suppose, however, that sail- Ing orders have taken you by surprise. You know nothing of many desirable things, of cooking, tor example, and have no tine to learn, Theu, ‘what- ever else you forget, put a good cook- book in your trunk. Choose it with care, avolding that malign brood which presupposes on the part of the victim a larder stocked with dainties and a Amowledge already advanced ‘What you need to know is, not how 1o make faisun a la geke, and frozen fruit pudding, but how to etolve a series of varied and tempting dishes from tasteless tropical beef, and to pro- duces good and’ attractive ‘desserts without the ald of anything in particu- Tar. Whatever fooilstuffs you take, how- ever, take in tins or in jars, and her- metically sealed. Paper packages are promptly ruined by insects and by mould; nor will paper strips seal any receptacle against the former pest. Be sure, too, that all tins are of the small- iat sizes better to open two small cans than to ¥e obliged to waste half the contents of a large one. Buy only the Dest qualities from the best dealer. You will grow tired ezough of “tins” before you are dong, and their highest degree of excellence will be strained to tempt your, taste. California frutits, both canned and dried, are a god In- yestment; for the fruits of the tropics too often prove neither as plentiful nor as luscious as fiction paints. ‘Tinned tomatoes aré a staff of life, not only because of thejy abiding freshness and of the number of good dishes that can be made from them, but because of thelr stalwart serviceableness as a strengthening essence in soups, stews, and the like. Aud, in general, you should remenber, In making out your list, that your great need will be for things with a good “home taste,” to add life and variety to a fiat, limited, and monotonous fare. ~ Uf you are going where no ice plant is, you will do well to take with you some serviceable syphon contrivance for meking well charged soda water. One holding about fourteen glasses, in which the gas is generated by a mix- ture of soda and cream of tartar, and which requires only about two hours’ wait between charging and use, may be had for sémething less than four, dollars.

A table- spoonful of Persian power, smoulder- ing on a tin box lid, will render habi- table a balcony-cdrner, or create a sanctuafy around ycur sewing-table or your feading lamp where otherwise mosquitoes plpe and sting in clouds. As to reading-lamps, if you think wood alcohol procurable in your new home, be sure to carry with you one or more good spirit lamps, with = supply of the -most durable mantle burners. Reading In the tropics by kerosene light is most uncomfortable, aad harm- ful, overheating the brain, and pro- ducing headaches and strained eyes. To light hitchen, hallways, and bedrooms, Kerosene will do. But in/living rooms it 1s to be tolerated only as a ne- cessity. - ‘Tahe a hand sewing machine, and a liveral store of “notions” of all sorts; and see that al! your needles are in tin~ foll-lined packets, else rust will quick- ly destroy them.’ Take a set of paper Patterns of the varfous garments of your toilette; for even if you find 2 modiste squatting under,your own ban- ana trees, after one trial of her cut you will probably prefer your own handiwork, however inexperiediced you may be. In choosing your wardiobe, remem; ver these things: Your chief desire Will be to fook cool and fresh and dainty in a climate of intense heat and moisture, where men and thelr collars jone together. To accomplish this, you will need many more changes than in a Jsummer at home. Double, triple your usual stock of undergarments, and have them thin. Let all your gowns be easily washable, and not too elaborace- ly or delicately trimmed; for you must reckon with a species of launder- ing calculated to fade all colors aad to test the strength of every stitch and thread. White ig altogether th most satisfactory wear; although, especial- ly during the rains, one needs a feath- er-weight woollen skirt @r two, and some shirts of brown Holland or simi- la stuff, for use in out-of-door exer~ se. For mornings in the house have eight or ten pretty, collarless, elbow- sleeved blouses of thin white lawn. You will find -your morning's duties very heating, and that nothing so contri- butes to your comfort as does freedom about the neck and arms. Count on seldom being able to wear any Uiouse twice between tub, and tub. Cotton crepes possess a,peculiar mer- It, particularly tor travelers’ wear, in that they can be washed and dried hur- riedly and worn without ironing, in- stead of following the week-long course of the usual tropical procedure. You will do well to‘avold all silk goods except the necessary ribbons. Occasion- ally, and quite without distinguish- ing visible evidence, some piece of sik will prove able to withstand a tropfeal climate. But as a general rule all silks deteriorate very rapidly in such conditions; within three or four months arriving at the strength and consistency of tissue paper, Even your umbrellas should be of material other than pure silk. Otherwise you will shortly possess no embrellas; but only tufts of rags. Rubber, also, soon loses its virtue, Overshoes you must have; but if your take a rain coat, let it be of waterproof cloth, not of mackintosh. Kid gloves of all sorts stiffen almost at once, discolor, and become useless. Take lisle in their place, if you think fany are nécessary; and for great oc- casions a pair of silk’net mitts. Sill gloves may Wear, but probability Is against it. ++ . ‘The common English practice in hot climates is to wear light-weight pure wool next the skin, in addition to pure |}woo! cholera belts;- and undoubtedly ‘this is of great Importance in wardlug away the chills that are at once so dangerous, so productive of a host of- ils, and so difficult to avoid. Conspic- uously, or unconspicuously, one is al- ways perspiring, more or Jess, and a slight draught taken amiss too ‘often does great harm. In most tropical places’ the temper- ature falls a bit at evening, at at least the heat becomes less oppressive in the evening hours, and this fact, as well as the manner of one’s . occupation makes practical a type of dress more fermal than is encouraged by the con- ditions of the day. - You fay permit yourself some good evening dresses; yet even these, for the most part, should Ue eapable of a trip through the wash.

This has been printed tn al- most every paper and magazine In the worki which uses halftones, and the sales from It have elready amoanted to more than $40,000, making it the most profitable photograph ever taken. > | : Nearly 3,000 copies have been sign- ¢d by the President to be used as special gifts, and the demand for it wherever {t has been placed on sale has been steady during the three and a half years since it was made. It was made with a shutter that opened and closed in one fiftecn- hundredta part of a second. Tho President, accompanied by an order- ly, left the Cabinet meeting one morn- ing and joinod the photographer at Chevy Chase in the suburbs of Wash- ngton. It was necessary for the President to force his horse over the fence a dozen times before a success- ful pleture was taken. President Roosevekt 1s protably the wmost photographed man in the world, with the possible exception of Em- peror William, and photographers as- sert unreservedly that he is most dif- iicult to pose.

BECAME PET, NOT VICTIM. Frog Intended for Vivisection En- deared Itself to Scientist. = The ocalist was working on a book en tho ove that yas to add new tustre to his name add he wanted a frog whose eye he might photograph and thus SHustrate one of the arguments in his treatise. He took a day off from his consulting room and his li- brary and went out into the country in search of a frog. It was not long before he'had one tucked safely away in the little box he had brought with. him, and he returned to the city, where a pressure of work made it tm- possible for him to do any work for a couple of days either on his book, or the dissecting of the” frog. Meanwhile he had placed the ba- frachian in an aquarium, where ft. seemed to be quite content. On the “second day after the frog arrived In. the household the cculist’s wife de- clared that if it wasn’t to be killed and dissected at once ft would be a good thing to get some files for it In the way of food. Whereupon the ocu- ist set about catching files for his frogship and began feeding the little reptile. Much to his surprise, when he re- turned to the aquarium with a fly for the third time the frogsseemed to know what was coming and ‘had- leaped up on the piece of board that” } was floating on the surface of the wa- ter. ‘The scientists besan’to be more | interested In the frog as a pet than_ as a subject for vivisection. and he | put of its death for another day.

Bowers, for the Indianapolis News. FOR THE MINISTRY Discouraging Report by the Board of Education to the Presbyterian General Assembly. Columbus, Ohio.—In its report to the Presbyterian General Assembly the Board of Education said: "The board has been made aware that its solicitude over the present period of decline in the number and quality of candidates presenting themselves for the gospel ministry is shared by the boards of education of other denominations. "Word has come from the Episcopal, Methodist and Lutheran bodies that the falling off, so noticeable a few years ago, is beginning to have its direct effect on the church. "Dissatisfaction is felt in many quarters over the inability of the churches to secure the highest type of consecrated manhood for the ministry. "Pulpit vacancies for distressingly long periods are more and more noticeable, and complaints are heard from committees on pulpit supply as to their inability to fill satisfactorily the places of those who are dropping from the ranks of the ministry. "It is with grave concern that the church at large should know the facts that in thirty evangelical theological seminaries in our country the church is about 400 men short of the number studying ten years ago, despite the country's increase of 8,000,000 in population. "There are one-third less men studying for the ministry of the Presbyterian church than ten years ago, and yet the membership of our branch of the Presbyterian church has increased during that period from 1,024,000 to 1,304,000. "Ten years ago there was one candidate for every 640 church members, to-day there is one candidate for every 1240 members. "Is it not therefore incumbent upon the church to engage in importunate prayer in behalf of the sons of the church, that more of them may be led to turn a deaf ear to the solicitations of a commercially prosperous age, and to consecrate their talent to the work of the ministry." Era of Great Strikes Passing Washington, D. C.—According to Carroll D. Wright, who was commissioner of labor for a number of years, and is now president of Worcester University, the era of great strikes is passing away. In the place of industrial strikes the conciliation plan is being adopted. In an interview here Mr. Wright says the tendency is against the great strikes which were numerous from the early seventies onward. He believes the tendency is against them more strongly than it has ever been in recent years, but that they served an effective purpose—that of teaching capital what labor wanted and teaching labor more about capital. The effect of such strikes was loss both to employers and employed. Mr. Wright contends that while little is heard of it, all over the country employers and laborers are getting together in a spirit of conciliation. Greater efficiency on the part of the man who has an industrial duty to perform is another tendency of the times noted by Mr. Wright. Pink Burial Gowns Latest Mode F. II. W. Graber, who is attending the twenty-seventh annual convention of the Indiana Funeral Directors' Association, says many things have contributed to make burials in the year 1907 much greater than in 1906. In the shroud display of the company, Mr. Graber represents, are two or three pink dresses for young women—a radical departure from the white, black, gray and occasional lavender gowns of other times. He says that during recent months his firm has had calls for short sleeved waists in keeping with the fashion of the day. Traips Under Hudson in October. President McAdoo, of the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Company, announced that traus will be in operation through the tunnels between New York and Hoboken by October 1. Butter in Demand. The demand for fine butter has been so uniformly good, owing to low retail prices, that all attempts to lower quotations have been frustrated. MORALS OF NATION BETTER, SAYS ROOT Secretary of State tells Yale Why the Citizens of United States Should Be Optimists. New Haven, Conn. - Elihu Root, Secretary of State, delivered the last in the series in the William E. Dodge course of lectures in Yale upon "The Responsibility of American Citizenship." Hopefulness, Mr. Root said, was one of the plainest duties of citizenship. Pessimism he called a criminal weakness. Then he proceeded to show by references to the history of the United States why there was no cause for any except an optimistic view of public and civic conditions. He found arguments to support his theory in the attitude of the public toward trusts, and toward the practice of railroads of giving rebates and manipulating securities and in the change in the method of voting. He also gave it as his opinion that the great mass of the labor classes of the country were in favor of present conditions as against socialism. "It is impossible," said Mr. Root, "to read an account of the life of the people of any civilized country without finding an amazing degree of cruelty, of oppression, of immorality, corruption and of class privilege regardless of common belief which has now been substantially done away with. "All railroads gave special rates to shipers thirty years ago. That was the existing form of competition, and competition not only was permitted, but it was enjoined by law, and any attempt to restrain it was, as it now is, unlawful. In recent years, however, the public has come to an appreciation of the idea that these great public agencies, which have had conferred upon them the right of eminent domain and perpetual franchises to enable them to do public service, cannot give special assistance to men without doing injustice to other men. That all this is the prosecutions and convictions for violation of the Anti-Rebate law—things which were never heard of thirty years ago—are not evidence that we are growing worse, but evidence that we are growing better; that our government is applying a higher standard of justice in the control of public utilities. "This same thing is true of the management of corporations and the manipulation of securities, to which attention has recently been called sharply by the testimony before the Interstate Commerce Commission regarding the reorganization of the Chicago and Alton Railroad. Thirty or forty years ago, when the management of the Erie Railroad and the Atlantic and Great Western and the Union Pacific Railroad attracted public attention, the things done by corporate managers were so much worse that the Chicago and Alton affair would not have received any notice. The railroad wrecker was a common type of railroad manager, and the rules did not go much beyond the exclusion of ordinary forgery, larceny and fraud at common law. Now, under a higher standard, much is properly condemned which before passed without notice. "It is perfectly safe to assert that the standard of probity and fidelity among the corporation managers of the country is higher now than it ever has been, and yet there is more complaint now than there ever was because our citizens demand that a more rigid rule of morality shall be applied by statute and by the courts and in administrative supervision than they formerly considered necessary." Then he spoke of the formation of trusts, with consequent crushing of competitors, restriction of output and increase of prices and of the laws to regulate them. "In their own hand," he added, "labor organizations, designed for the just purpose of securing fair treatment as to employment, wages and hours and conditions of work, are on their part endeavoring to put up prices, restrict production and drive out competition." Bean Farmers Blue. Because of the low price which has prevailed for field beans all winter, bean growers in New York State are somewhat discouraged and many report intentions of reducing their acreage. Freight Movement Prompt. Freight movement is almost prompt, the supply of rolling stock more nearly equalling requirements, and there are fewer complaints of delays. THE MASONIC GRAND LODGE. Thirty-Seventh Annual Communication to Be Held Next Tuesday in Americus. The thirty-seventh annual communication of the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge of the state of Georgia will be held next Tuesday at 9 o'clock at Americus, Ga. The communication will be held in the spacious auditorium of the Widows' and Orphans' Home. This has been a year of unusual activity for the officers of the Grand Lodge, especially the Grand Master and Grand Secretary, and the result will be glowing reports on the condition of officers in the furtsallection. Most Worshipful Grand Master H. R. Butler, M. D., has done herculean work since he has been in the Grand East. He took hold of the craft when there was not a penny on hand with a debt of several thousand dollars. He went to work with the assistance of his officers and in a short time this great indebtedness was cleared and today the Grand Lodge has to its credit land and buildings valued at more than $30,000 with no incumbrances, a fine set of regallas, implements, etc., and nearly a thousand dollars in its grand treasury. This is a show that no Grand Master has ever made. Not alone has he succeeded along the financial lines, but also in an administrative manner. By his foresightedness and excellent judgment, only peace and harmony prevail in the jurisdiction. Grand Master Butler takes a bold stand for temperance, and everything that makes a master better, and these ideals are being inculcated in the brethren, hence the excellent condition of the grand old jurisdiction of Georgia. The brethren are unstinted in their praise of the Most Worshipful Grand Master and they will show their appreciation in no uncertain way. At the grand communication there will be present several of the veteran members of the jurisdiction. Past Grand Master J. H. Deveaux, Past Grand Master Harris of Savannah, Past Master R. L. Newsome of Augusta and several others. They will be flanked by a large array of Georgia Masons who are learning the "work" in time to take a full hold when the time comes. It is expected that each lodge will be represented, and that each delegate will be in his seat when the gavel strikes on Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. It is also useless to admonish because it is fully known that the sessions will be harmonious; it is not Masonic to be otherwise; but each brother must be on hand to vote on every subject and enact only such legislation that will tend to the uplift of the order in the state and benefit its thousands of members. The delegates are admonished that in securing tickets they must get a certificate which will enable them to reduced rate returning. In event that any agent returning to give such a certificate be sure to get a receipt for the amount paid for the ticket and present same to the Grand Secretary at the Grand Lodge. Instead of having a tiresome and long street parade, a-rangements have been made to have a social evening for the delegates. This will take place on Tuesday night at which time Mrs. Selena S. Butler, the talented wife of Grand Master Butler, will give a recital, interwoven with music, etc., by local talent. After the recital and musical there will be a reception for the delegates. This part of the Grand Lodge communication is looked forward to with pleasant anticipation, and it is known that each delegate will have an enjoyable time. It will be interesting to the brethreil to know that of the original officers who acted at the formation of the first grand lodge thirty-seven years ago, only five are living. They are Past Grand Masters J. M. Simms, J. H. Deveaux, Alex. Harris and Past Master Caesar Brinson of Savannah, and Past Master R. L. Newsome of Augusta. In age Past Grand Master Harris is $9, and never misses a grand communication, while Past Master Brinson is home seriously ill. Following are officers of the Grand Lodge: H. R. Butler, M. W. G. M. G. R. Hutto, R. W. D. G. M. A. L. Felton, R. W. G. S. W. J. H. Walker, R. W. G. J. W. G. L. Bowen, R. W. G. T. Sol C. Johnson, R. W. G. S. Alex Harris, M. W. G. C. J. A. Grant, W. G. L. A. S. Staley, W. G. S. D. J. J. Jenkins, W. G. J. D. J. H. Babcock, W. G. S. S. A. R. Stallings, W. G. J. S. *S. S. Mincey, W. G. M. J. R. Thornton, W. G. P. J. H. Hodges, W. G. S. B. L. D. Hill, W. G. T. A number of lodges have failed to comply with the edicts of the Grand Lodge by not forwarding reports and fees to the Grand Secretary by May 1st. The W. M. and officers of this lodge shows by their action that they are not loyal to the edicts of the Grand Lodge. It is hoped that during the coming year there will be no complaints whatever on this score. Mt. Temah Lodge at Lyons has completed its new hold and occupied same. The members have been praising God from whom all blessings flow, and the brethren throughout the state will joint with them. ON TO RICHMOND. Mecca Temple No. 3 of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine of Macon, Ga., met in regular convocation on Friday night 24th instant. The following officers were present: Noble J. H. Walker, Illustriate Potentate. Noble E.' L. Wheaton, Chief Rabbun. Noble J. W. Maund, Assittant Rabbun. Noble H. D. Canady, High Priest and Prophet. Noble N. C. Appling, Recorder. Noble James Walker, Grand Captain of the Guards. Noble T. A. Bumpkin, Treasurer. After transacting the regular business of the Temple, a letter from the Imperial Grand Potentate was read, announcing the convocation of the Imperial, Grand Council of the order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine of North and South America at Richmond, Va., September 11, 1907. Nobles E. L. Wheaton, J. W. Maund and J. H. Walker were elected dedegates to represent the Temple at the Imperial Grand Council; and Nobles T. A. Lumpkin and James Walker were elected proxies. We hope that the Temples of Georgia will see to it that Georgia is well represented in this great council. What say you who have trod the burning sands of the desert to binging the Imperial Grand Council to Georgia another year? The shriners here are making extensive preparations for their pilgrimage, and negotiations are under way for securing a special car for them and their friends. "On to Richmond." Lyons, Ga., May 12, 1907. Mr. Sol C. Johnson, Savannah, Ga.: Dear Editor Savannah Tribune: Please allow space in your columns for me to say a few words in behalf of our little city (Lyons) and its loyal people, lodges and distinguished visitors. Lyons is noted for its good name and hospitality. Its lodges are in a prosperous condition with noble leaders at their head. On last Monday the 27th instant Silver Chapter O. E, S. No. 23 was honored with her first annual visit from the Royal Grand Matron for the state of Georgia, Mrs. Violet Hart of Americus, Ga. At 1 o'clock Sister Dora Cooper, R. M., sounded the gavel, called the lodge to order. After devotional exercises the Royal Matron, Mrs. Cooper, arose and introduced Mrs. Hart, R. G. M., with grand honors. Mrs. Hart began by stating her mission in one little hymn. And with earnest appeals and burning words she touched the hearts of all. Never woman talked like this woman, while our hearts burned within us. Long may she live to carry on this gospel message of peace. After which she conferred degrees on the Royal Matron, Patron and Past Matrons. On Monday night a banquet was given by Silver Chapter at the accomplished home of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Cooper in honor to Mrs. Hart, R. G. M. Rev. C. J., Petigrew was the principal speaker. Several songs, duets and solos, was given by the young men and women of Lyons. It broke all records. Never in the history of Lyons was such banquet given. The memory will always live with us. Sister Mincy, wife of Hon. S. S. Mincy of Ailey, Ga., enjoyed it. All Lyons is honored. Also with Rev. Dr. H. Jones, M. D. (colored) here. Your's fraternally, DORA COOPER. DAYTONA, FLA., NOTES. Mr. Bryant, son and daughter, are on the sick list. The collection in Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church last Sunday was $105.10. Rev. A. Jackson has things well in hand and everything is getting along all right. The sermon that was preached by Rev. A. L. James, pastor of Mt. Bethel Baptist Church, last Sunday for the benefit of the Daytona graded school, was a masterpiece. He took for his text Hosea 4th chapter and 6th verse. S object, "Get Knowledge." The closing exercises of the school cane on on the 27th and 28th at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church and was just as fine as we ever seen in this city. Prof. MeRca and his corps of teachers deserve much praise for the manner in which they carried things out. So the teachers have gone to their different homes where they will take their much needed rest. Mrs. Ida Adams has gone to Asheville, N. C., her old home to spend the summer with her father. Miss Julia L. Bagley was called home this week by telegram to see her sister who is lying very low at her home in Jacksonville. Mrs. Judy James is spending a while in Galmesville. Mr. Milerd Adams of Fort Pierce Mr. I. S. Morgan, who has been in Sanford for some time, has come home to spend some time with his family. Prof. L. Whiteman closed his school at Port Orange on the 24th with a good old time picnic. Miss Anner Giger and Miss Cerles Jackson, who have attended the State Normal School at Tallahassee, are at home for the summer. Both of these young ladies are liked by every one who knows them. COTTON CROP IN BAD WAY In Assertion of President of Georgia 'Sea Crushers' Association. Seed Crushers Association. "Reports from all sections of the south, as given by the members of the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers' Association at Jamestown last week," said L. A. Ransom, newly elected president of that organization, who has returned to Atlanta, "indicate that the cotton crop of the south is today worse off than it has been at this time of the season in years. In fact, we got such distressing reports as to the necessity for replanting that the association passed resolutions pledging the various cotton seed oil mills in the association to furnish cotton seed at a moderate cost for replanting from our supply on hand for crushing. "We realize what a poor condition the crop is in and how hard it is going to be to get a stand, and are very anxious to help the planters in every way possible. These reports were not formal, but came from every one of the 600 delegates at this convention from every cotton-growing state in the union. Mr. Ransom is enthusiastic over the convention and declares it the most successful ever held. He states that Dr. H. W. Wiley, the head of the United States pure food commission, made the association a talk, in which he declared the south could not conceive the possibilities in cotton seed oil and its by-products, which commodity is now in its infancy. Hon. J. M. Carson, chief of the bureau of manufacturers in the department of commerce and labor, was also a guest and speaker. He read a specially prepared pamphlet, which gave reports from all of the United States consuls on the subject of this great southern product, which had been compiled for this association through the offices of the state department. It was through him that Hon. J. L. Benton of Georgia was appointed United States expert abroad and his first report on the market for cotton seed oil and its by-products was read at this meeting. Mig Ranson' states that one of the chief changes in the rules, as adopted by the convention, was where by the food value of cotton seed meal giving the protein and fat percentage in addition to the ammonia value for export trade. This does not affect home commodity, but is simply additional information for the export. The Georgia delegation with its special train has returned to the state and this was followed by special trains from Texas, Tennessee and South Carolina. The place for the next meeting will be decided by the executive committee at a later date. It will be announced from Atlanta, the headquarters of the association. LOTTERY SCHEMERS SQUELCHED Thirty-Two Pleaded Guilty, Are Fined and Promise to Sin. No More. In the United States district court at Mobile, Ala., Monday, pleas of guilty were entered to an indictment charging conspiracy to cause the inter-state carriage of Lottery advertisements by thirty-two prominent persons. Judge Tolmin imposed fines amounting to $284,000. In addition to the pleas of guilty the defendants agreed to surrender to the government for destruction all lottery books, plates and other paraphernalia and in addition to immediately dispose of the printing establishment belonging to the Honduras National Lottery company located at Wilmington, Del., where the lottery tickets have been printed for many years. The pleas of guilty and the surrender of all lottery material of the Honduras Lottery company, which is the successor of the old Louisiana state lottery company, passed out of existence, thus ending the long struggle of the federal authorities with this lottery company, the largest and most important doing business in the United States. NEW LAW, DECLARED NULL. Ruling of Judge on Tennessee Anti Race, Gambling Statute Race Gambling Statute. Judge Palmer of Memphis has declared the Tennessee anti-race gambling law unconstitutional on the ground that the caption covered more than the body of the bill. Printed slips of the law had been sent out, which read an act entitled "An Act to prohibit gambling and horse racing." This was a typographical error. It should have read "An Act to prohibit gambling on horse races." The bound volume of laws will contain the law as passed by the legislature. FOR MORE FARMERS President Makes Urgent Plea at College Celebration. COMMENDS ALL TOILERS Agricultural Colleges of the Country Are Boosted and Boys Are Urged Speaking upon the topic, "The Man Who Works with His Hands," President Roosevelt said, in part: "The fifteenth anniversary of the founding of this college is an event of national significance, for Michigan was the first state in the union to found this, the first agricultural college in America. The nation is to be congratulated on the fact that the congress at Washington has repeatedly enacted laws designed to aid the several states in establishing and maintaining agricultural and mechanical colleges. "For at least a generation we have been waking to the knowledge that there must be additional education beyond that provided in" the public school as it is managed today. Our school system has hitherto been well-nigh wholly lacking on the side of industrial training, of the training which fits a man for the shop and the farm. We of the United States must develop a system under which each individual citizen shall be trained so as to be effective individually as an economic unit, and fit to be organized with his fellows so that he and they can work in efficient fashion together. "But it is a curious thing that in industrial training we have tended to devote our energies to produce high-grade men at the top rather than in the ranks. Our engineering schools, for instance, compare favorably with the best in Europe, whereas we have done almost nothing to equip the private soldiers of the industrial army—the mechanic, the metal worker, the carpenter. Indeed, too often our schools train away from the shop and the forge; and this fact, together with the abandonment of the old apprentice" system, has resulted in such an absence of facilities for providing trained journeymen that in many of our trades almost all the recruits among the workmen are foreigners. Surely this means that there must be some systematic method provided for training young men in the trades, and that this must be co-ordinated with the public school system. "There is but one person whose welfare is as vital to the welfare of the whole country as is that of the wageworker who does manual labor, and that is the tiller of the soil—the farmer. If there is one lesson taught by history it is that of the permanent greatness of any state must ultimately depend more upon the character of its country population than upon anything else. "Ambitious native-born young men and women who now tend away from the farm must be brought back to it, and therefore they must have social as well as economic opportunities. Everything should be done to encourage the growth in the open farming country of such institutional and social movements as will meet the demand of the best type of farmers. There should be libraries, assembly halls, social organizations of all kinds. The school building and the teacher in the school building should, throughout the country districts, be of the very highest type, able to fit the boys and girls not merely to live in, but thoroughly to enjoy and to make the most of the country. The country church must be revived. All kinds of agencies, from rural free delivery to the bicycle and the telephone, should be utilized to the utmost; good roads should be favored; everything should be done to mane it easier for the farmer to lead the most active and effective intellectual, political and economic life. "The farmer must prepare for using the knowledge that can be obtained through agricultural colleges by insisting upon a constantly more practical curriculum in the schools in which his children are taught. He must not lose his independence, his initiative, his rugged self-sufficiency; and yet he must learn to work in the heartiest co-operation with his fellows. President Roosevelt delivered an address Friday afternoon on the campus of the Michigan Agricultural College at Lansing, which was the climax of the semi-centennial celebration of the founding of that famous institution. CHARLOTTESVILLE OUSTS BOOZE Prohibitionists Win by Small Majority in Strentuous Election. The city of Charlottesville, Va., has gone "dry" by forty majority, after one of the warmest fights, political or social, ever fought in that burg. Ministers stood in the rain at the polls throughout the day and the church bells were rung every hour. sa
