AFTER OCEAN TRUST Interstate Commerce Commission to Insert Probe. AGIGANTIC UNDÉRTAKING Alleged That Certain Steamship Lines Are in League With the Railroads to Maintain a Monopoly-All Shippers Are Interested. A Washington special says: The interstate commerce commission Wednesday decided to institute proceedings of Inquiry and Investigation into the affairs of the Hamburg-American Packet company, which is charged by Peter Wright & Sons, general agents, at Philadelphia, of the Cosmopolitan Shipping company and the Cosmopolitan Lines, with pooling and maintaining monopolies in restraint of trade. The inquiry is expected to be one of the most stupendous ever undertaken and of a character different from any that ever before has engaged the attention of the commission. The inquiry will have to deal with an alleged combination between railroads in the United States and the German shipping concern and therefore interests every American producer, manufacturer or shipper aspiring to inrtdouce his goods into foreign countries. According to the complaint on which action was taken by the commission, the Hamburg-American Packet company has built up a complete monopoly of the eastbound traffic originating in Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, Minneapolis, Duluth, Cleveland and other manufacturing centers of the United States, intended for interior ports or places on the continent of Europe. The complaint reviews what it claims to be unfair methods in stifling competition. The Cosmopolitan Shipping company, of Philadelphia, which figures as the complainant, operates lines to Rotterdam, Leith and Constantinople. The charges allege an ironclad trust in transatlantic freight carrying exists between the Hamburg-American Packet company, the North German Lloyd, Scandinavian-American -Line and the Wilson (Hull) Line, and that this pool apportions the volume of traffic each of its members shall carry, and from what port or ports each line shall make its sailings, thus involving the apportionment of traffic originating in western cities, both as to character and amount, between the cities of the north Atlantic seaboard. In charging that, the Hamburg-American Packet Company, in its almost absolute control of eastbound and westbound traffic beween interior points of the United States and Hamburg, is a monopoly in restraint of trade, the complaining company raises an international question. The allegation is made that the foreign corporation is backed by the German government, dictates terms, routes and rates to shippers all over the United States; who forward goods to Baltic ports, diverts freight to and from American ports at its own will, without regard to the natural flow of trade, and uses coercive and unlawful methods to crush competition. The statement filed by Peter Wright & Song says the Cosmopolitan Shipping company, has no desire to suppress legitimate competition and adds: "We, therefore, do not seek to have amellorated any of the conditions which fair competition may impose. We do believe, however, that pooling combinations and intimidations, the latter in certain instances approaching blackmail, even under the semblances of competition, are not legitimate forms of competition. Pooling commissions and intimidations in their worst forms have been encountered recently by the Cosmopolitan services. These are the unlawful conditions, masquerading under the guise of competition, which it is our purpose to endeavor to place before your honorable commission in a concise and chronological form." PLAYED AT SMUGGLING GAME. Army Transport Captain Heavily Fined for Attempted Graft. Captain Morrow of the United States army transport Kilpatrick, has been fined $720 by the treasury department for violating the law in bringing to Newport News, a case of silks, laces and other fine dress goods marked "used household goods."

The state of Idaho Wednesday made a dramatic production and proof of the Goddard bomb, and besides offering further contributions of the testimony of Harry Orchard against William D., Haywood secured a ruling under which a number of the denunciatory articles published in the Miners' Magazine, official organ of the Western Federation of Miners, will be admitted in evidence. To Justice Luther M. Goddard himself fell the task of telling the story of the finding and preservation for use as evidence of the bomb with which Orchard tried to kill him. His appearance on the stand added another to the many dramatic scenes that have characterized the trial. The veteran Colorado jurist testified that the first information that he received about the bomb came to him from Orchard's confession, which was shown to him at Denver on February 13, 1906, by Detective McParland. He at once returned to his home and the bomb was dug up. It was at once taken to the office of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, and carefully sealed in wrappers and envelopes that were signed by half a dozen witnesses, including Justice Goddard, and, after that, they were placed in a vault, to the door of which seals, including that of a notary public, were attached. There they rested until the following May 22, when, believing the Haywood case was to come to trial, they were removed in the presence of the same witnesses and all save three of the forty sticks of the giant powder, contained in the bomb, were exploded. The explosions occurred in the presence of the witness at a point in the suburbs of Denver and the bomb itself, twelve caps and two wrappers, torn from sticks of giant powder, were saved as evidence. Attorneys Richardson and Darrow, for the defense, objected to all the evidence and all the exhibits and moved to strike out everything, but the court ruled against them all along the line. Justice Goddard was cross-examined by Mr. Darrow of the defense. He said he was first elected to the bench by the democrats and populists in 1892, serving eight years. He went back under appointment of Governor Peabody in January, 1901, taking office April 5, 1905, and still holds office under that appointment. Mr. Darrow inquired at some length as to the contests between Peabody and Adams as to the governorship and as between two sets of city and county officers in Denver. Justice Goddard said he was appointed the night of the conference, at which it was decided that Adams should take the governorship the next day. Mr. Darrow devoted his inquiry to bringing out the fact that there was considerable feeling in Denver and through Colorado over decisions by the supreme court In the election cases.

"If the president told any speaker to 'cut it out' at Jamestown on Georgia day, I did not hear him do so," says W. N. Mitchell of Atlanta, president of the exposition commission of Georgia. "I am certain that such words were not used by the president at the reviewing stand. I presented the president, taking just two minutes and forty seconds to do so. The president then followed with his address." SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. JUNE 22. 1907. MADE BUM BUTTER Uncle Sam Pounces Upon a Violator of Federal Law. Atlanta Man Posed as a Ruralite, with Rustic Turnout, and Palmed Off Spurious Product on Unsuspecting Public. A campaign of sweeping scope and energy against. Impure butter as it is made and sold in Atlanta, whether by housekeepers or business firms, has been inaugurated by the United States' district attorney's office. The indictment Monday afternoon of Leonard Sharpton, who lives near East Atlanta, and is charged with running a cowless dairy, the products of which are said to be 75 per cent water, is the first step of the prosecution. If, however, evidence now in the hands of revenue officers and the city health department holds good, scores of other cases are to be made and developments as startling as those of the Sharpton probe will be forthcoming. It appears, in fact, that for a year or more, Atlanta has been swallowing tons of rancid stuff, which, under the name of butter, contains all manner of adulterations—alkalis, water, chemicals and, in some instances, substances almost poisonous. According to Assistant District Attorney John Henley, the violation of the "adulterated butter act" is not confined to persons who are knowingly fraudulent. Many housekeepers with no ill Intentions are really breaking the law by making or selling products which are old butter worked over with milk and hot water, and, while such cases may not come under the head of the more flagrant violations, they are violations nevertheless, and are subject to heavy fines. How Sharpton plied his trade and was finally discovered by the health officers is a singular and at the same time a typical story of the Atlanta butter frauds, if the allegation against him is true. For some time, say the officers, he had been driving a rural looking cart over the city and marketing what he represented to be fresh country butter. And, to be sure, the neatly packed cakes he handed out to housekeepers were tempting in color and smell. Whenever the Sharpton nag came trotting around a corner, her hoofs spattered with the proper amount of country mud and a stray cockle burr caught artistically here and there in her tall, the city people would have visions of fresh meadows and imagine they caught odors of dairy and farm. But imagination was about all there was to it, say the inspectors, for when they paid a visit to the Sharpton dairy one afternoon there wasn't a cow, not even a calf or a ragged goat in sight, they declare. Sharpton's place, on the contrary, was just an ordinary suburban house in East Atlanta. The investigation was made on complaint of a housekeeper. The lady said that Sharpton's butter was a wonder; that it worked on principles precisely 'opposite' from those that obtained in the widow's meal spoken of in the Bible. When Sharpton was first arrested 100 pounds of his so-called butter had been selzed and carried to police headquarters. The police said it was so full of water that as it began to melt it flooded the station house and contained about 4 ounces of butter to 12 of water. Of this selzure a sample was sent to the department of agriculture at Washington, where it was estimated to contain 45 9-10 per cent water. When these facts were laid before the federal grand jury a true bill was promptly returned against Leonard Sharpton. SUNKEN LAUNCH FOUND. Grapplers Located Boat on Which the Middies Went to Watery Grave. Official notice of the finding of the battleship Minnesota's ill-fated launch, which went to the bottom of Hampton Roads, with its eleven occupants, was received by the navy department in a message from the commander or the Atlantic fleet Friday. The dispatch says the launch was grappled by the dragging party and that the launch was expected to be raised. BROKERS FILLED POCKETS Those in Conspiracy With Holmes Got Easy Money — Figures Once Changed, for Theodore Price. When the trial of Edwin S. Holmes, Jr., for divulging information as to crop reports before being made public, was resumed in Judge Stafford's court at Washington Tuesday, L. C. Van Riper, the New York broker, continued his testimony, taking up his story with relation to payments to Peckham, Haas and Holmes, repeating much of what he had said Monday, but adding one item of $25,000 paid to Peckham. Questioned concerning the division of the profits realized on the cotton ginners' report for December, 1904, Van Rlper said there was $43,071 to be distributed and that this sum was divided into four parts. This division had taken place December 29, 1904, at a hotel in New York, where he and Peckham had gone to meet Haas and Holmes. Haas' share of the amount was $10,767, but he had been given $10,800 because they could not make change. In response to questions by Mr. Beach, the witness said Holmes had talked with him concerning his mines in Idaho. He had first spoken of them in St. Louis as claims, but later Haas had come into his office, saying to him that he had a contract for him to sign that he might show as an explanation as to where he had gotten so much money. "Did you pay him any money for the mines?" "I did not." "Did Mr. Holmes ever talk with you as to what would happen to him if it was known that he was giving out this information?" "He did. In December he said nothing could happen to him; that he had had legal advice and knew that there was no law covering the case." Van Riper also said that Holmes had told him that on a former occasion in 1903 when there had been leaks in the report he had gone to the white house to assure the president that the system was perfect and had received the president's congratulations on its excellence. "Did Holmes tell you at that time whether there was any justification of the suspicion that there was a leak?" "He said there was; he told me that he had furnished the figures to Price and related how Haas had gone, back and forth several times between him and Price in an effort to have the approaching report manipulated so as to suit Price's conditions. The outlook was for a report showing a production of 10,250,000 bales. "Prices was short and said those figures would not help him and pleaded to have the amount reduced below ten million, if the amount could not be made higher so that he could take the other side. Holmes had said it could not possibly be made lower than 10,020,000 bales, but Price insisted and the figures were made to conform to Price's requirements." He said that afterwards an effort was made at Holmes' suggestion to get an outside place for Statistician Hyde in order that Holmes could be promoted to the chief position in the office. BARR AT THE HELM. Well Known Railroad Man in Charge of Jamestown Exposition.

In view of Governor Heyward's acceptance it has been decided to broaden the scope of the movement. It is proposed to ask from the public a subscription of $1,000,000. HOLMES' SCHEME Of Grafting on Crop Report Told by Broker Van Riper. On One "Leak" Deal the Conspirators Got $167,000 and Holmes' Share Was One-Third of All the Profits Accruing. A Washington special says: In Louis H. Van Riper, a New York broker, the government Monday introduced the first witness in the trial of Edwin H. Holmes, Jr., who has directly connected Holmes with the premature divulgence of the information in which the cotton crops of the agricultural department are based, Mr. Van Riper was on the stand all day and the direct examination had not been concluded when the court adjourned. He said that he had met Holmes in 1904, through F. A. Peckham, and that he had agreed to give them two-thirds of any profits that might be derived from stock deals made on points supplied by Holmes. He then told how Holmes had kept his part of the agreement by giving out information a day in advance of the appearance of the official report; quoted figures to show the degree of accuracy of the information supplied and related instances in which Holmes had been paid money through Moses Haas. He said $167,000 had been cleaned up on the information secured in advance of the report for November, 1904. He also testified that Holmes had agreed to keep him informed of the plans of other cotton brokers and told how in the end a regular partnership had been formed, in which Holmes was one of five members. Mr. Van Riper said that after first meeting Haas and Peckham in Washington he had seen them in Chicago in company with Holmes and afterwards in St. Louis. They had considerable conversations at both places concerning operations in cotton, with the result that they began selling cotton in November and continued the process until the December report was issued. He had generally operated on the strength of the representations of Haas, who was supposed to be in frequent conference with Holmes, and had indicated a very bearish condition. He had dealt, through a number of brokers in the November transactions, and had been successful to the extent of $167,000. Of this amount $57,000 was divided with Haas and Peckham, Haas taking half and Peckham a fourth of the amount. Part of Haas' shares was paid in cash. "What did Haas do with the cash?" "He paid it to Holmes." "When, and where?" "In the office at that time." Mr. Beach, for the prosecution, brought out from the witness the facts concerning the organization of the brokerage/firm of L. H. Mercer & Co. He said that while the names of only Mercer and Peckham appeared in the articles of agreement, Holmes, Haas and himself were partners with the other two. As the working capital of this firm, $25,000 secured in the November deal was used. Part of the money made in that deal was reinvested in December on the strength of Haas' forecast of the cotton glinners' report, and $43,000 had been realized as' profits. One-fourth of this amount was paid to Haas in currency, and by him turned over to Holmes. In December, 1904, the firm was dissolved, and Van Riper testified that $38,282 had been paid to Haas in cheques and the same amount to Holmes in currency. Mr. Van Riper was still under examination when court adjourned for the day. "LEAGUE" GOES GLIMMERING. Many Third Term Advocates Caught by a Wily Schemer. Scattered all over the United States are 30,000 people who are wondering what has become of "The Roosevelt Third Term National League," with headquarters in Chicago. Somewhere is Edward Horner, who induced the thirty or more thousand citizens to want Theodore Roosevelt for a third term of dollars' worth, expecting that their names would be engraved on parchment and presented to the chief executive of the United States. MORGAN LAID TO REST. Body of Senator Entombed at Old Home in Selma with Simple Ceremonies—Big Crowd Present. The funeral of the late Senator John T. Morgan took place in Selma at noon Saturday from the Church Street Methodist Church, where the dead senator for many years worshiped, and his body was laid to rest in Live Oak cemetery in a lot adjoining the tomb of William R. King, who died more than half a century, ago; while he was vice president of the United States. Thousands were present at the funeral, including delegations from every city in the state. Many distinguished men were also on hand. Besides the congressional party who accompanied the body from Washington, there were present Vice President C. W. Fairbanks, Governor Comer and the various state officials, together with every member of the Alabama congressional delegation. The funeral train arrived promptly at 9 o'clock a. m. and was met at the union depot by a large escort, consisting of military, Confederate veterans, distinguished Alabamians and the population generally. When the train halted, Senator E. W. Pettus, the venerable colleague of the dead senator, was first to alight. After he had assisted the Misses Morgan, daughters of the dead senator, from the train, they were escorted to carriages in waiting. The casket was then removed, and it was placed in the waiting hearse. A delegation of women literally covered it with flowers picked from Alabama's native soil. The flowers were tossed upon the casket until the doors of the hearse were closed and the solemn march to the church began. Arriving at the church, the casket was placed in front of the altar. Then came the masses, who for two long hours took a last look at the distinguished Alabamlan. During those two hours ten thousand persons wend their way through the church and the casket. Many beautiful designs sont by people in all parts of the world were strewn around the casket. There was a huge wreath of roses and lilies of the valley from President and Mrs. Roosevelt. Another beautiful wreath was ordered from Honolulu by "Hatch." Another was ordered by cable from friends in London. In addition, there were hundreds of floral offerings from Confederate Veterans Daughters of the Confederacy, commercial organizations and private citizens generally from all over the south. The funeral services, which were held at noon, were conducted by Dr. W. P. Dickinson, pastor of Church Street Methodist church, and consisted of scriptural readigs, songs and prayer. The church has a seating capacity of 1,100 and every seat was taken with many standing. A still greater number were unable to gain admission. Sentinels were placed on duty at every door to keep the crowd out. Relatives and national and state representatives occupied two hundred reserved seats directly in front of the altar. The church exercises were soon concluded, and while the casket was being returned to the hearse the band outside the church played "Lead, Kindly Light." Many wept as the strains of the favorite hymn of the late President McKinley, a warm friend of Senator Morgan, floated upon the noonday air. The procession to Live Oak cemetery was even larger than that from the railroad station to the church, various delegations and distinguished visitors, among them being Vice President Fairbanks and Senator Foraker, having arrived meanwhile. All the business houses were closed and emblems of mourning-bedecked every building on the route. Everywhere the wheels of industry had stopped for the time. The services were simple, consisting of the reading of the Methodist ritual and a prayer. APPOINTMENTS BY ROOSEVELT. List of Names is Given Out by President at Oyster Bay.

PAST GRAND MASTER ALEX. HARRIS, GRAND CHAPLAIN. IN HARMONY THEY DWELL THIRTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION A SUCCESS. THE MASONIC GRAND LODGE THE MOST DIGNIFIED BODY IN THE STATE, WITH ABLE MEN-AS LEADERS. "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is toor brethren to dwell together in unity." The above biblical quotation was truly adhere to last week at the 37th annual communication of the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge of Masons at Americus. This is verified by each delegate in attendance. Promptly at 9 o'clock, the hour appointed, Most Worshipful Grand Master H. R. Duier, M. D., sounded the gavel, and there was immediate attention at the ample opening of the Grand Lodge. The interesting ceremony was entered into with delight by the brethren, and the singing, led by Past Master G. M. Holmes, was rendered with much tervor, also the prayer offered by the acting Grand Chaplain. The first business was the appointment of the committee on credentials, after which a recess was taken to allow this committee to make up its report. The committee reported a large number of lodges as being represented, along with many permanent members of the Grand Lodge. The minutes were read and approved and other special committee were appointed. Grand Master Butler then read his address.

This report was turned over to the committee on Grand Master's address, who reported entirely in its favor. Grand Secretary Johnson rendered his report and terminating showed that the year was indeed a prosperous one by the increased collections made. This was subsantiated by the report of Grand Treasurer Böwen, who showed a greater balance on hand during the past year than ever before in the history of the Grand Lodge. Both of these reports met the unanimous approval of the Grand Lodge. The, next order of business being the election, it required no. over ten minutes to elect all of the officers, each of whom, received a unanimous vote. M. W., H. R. Butler, M. D., Grand Master. R.

To receive this benefit each member in the jurisdiction must pay one dollar to join and twenty-five cents per month, commencing with next January. The dollar for membership is to be collected immediately and each member of the order is compelled to secure a policy and keep up the payments.

Thomas was elected secretary and treasurer of this department, which will be directed by Grand Master H. R. Butler, Grand Secretary Sol. C. Johnson, Past Masters Charles A. Clark and W. D. Johnson, Jr., D. D., along with the secretary and treasurer. The board is determined to make this department of the Grand Lodge a success, and to make it popular with each lodge in the jurisdiction. Excellent management is assured, and if the members of the subordinate lodges would do their full duty towards it, it will prove an everlasting monument for good for the jurisdiction. Each Worshipful Master and officers of the several lodges should take hold of it and thus assure success. In this matter it is well to state that the several lodges in Savennah are heartily in favor of it and want all the other-lodges to fall in line and which will prove progress and fidelity to the order. The three oldest members of the Grand Lodge present were Past Grand Master Alex Harris, Past Master R. L. Newsome and Past Deputy Grand Master George H. Dwelle, D. D. The Grand Lodge expressed deep regrets upon hearing of the illness of Past Grand Master J. H. Deveaux. A telegram expressing greetings was ordered sent him. Greetings were received from M. W., E. W. Lampton, Grand Master of Mississippi. The Grand Secretary was ordered to return a like message, and also sympathy to Dr. C. McCarthy of Macon, who is ill. The Grand Lodge voted for the improving of the building of the Home, The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

The affairs of this department are being carefully looked after by Brother A. L. Felton, who is the efficient treasurer of the board of trustees, and Rev. A. L. Staley, who is secretary. 1. is very pleasing to note that the proceedings of the Grand Lodge were transacted with the true spirit of brotherly love. Harmony existed throughout, and on nearly every proposition presented there was a unanimous vote. The personnel of the Grand Lodge had much to do with its harmony. The brethren represented the best of their several communities, and were indeed a prosperous looking set. Grand Master Butler has gathered around him as members of the various committee, a set of brethren, who only have the welfare of the craft at J. H. G. L. BOWEN, R. W. GRAND TREASURER. heart and who labors accordingly. These committeemen understand how to facilities the business placed in their hands. The assessment for the Home remains the same, fifty cents for each brother, payable as heretofore. AME Las week citizens of Am ering of the N the town. One of the pleasant feautures of the Grand Lodge was the musicale and recital given in the auditorium on Tuesday night. This was presented by local talent and the recitals by Mrs. H. R. Butler. Each attendant enjoyed himself. Mrs. Btuler received hearty applause for her excellent rendition, which proved her to be an elucutionist of great ability. The several singers did well their parts. Following is the program: Prayer, Rev. A. S. Staley. Music, "Wake the Song;" Mrs. P. Walker, Mrs. J. C. Styles, Mrs. H. B. Smith, Mrs. H. Phillips, Mr. H. B. Smith, Professor J. C. Styles. Selection, "Music on the Rappahannock;" Mrs. S. S. Butler. Solo, "Calvary;" Mrs. H. B. Smith. Selection, "She Would Be a Mason;" Mrs. S. S. Butler. Duet, "Fair Moonlight;" Mrs. Boso Fields, Mrs. M. L. Dudley. Solo, "When the Roses Bloom Again;" Mrs. John Phillips. Selection, "Money Muzk;" Mrs. S. Butler. Solo, "When the Swallows Homeward Fly;" Mrs. P. Walker. Musician, Miss Eva Walker. The Grand Lodge had only a two-days' session, but it did in those two days as much as the other ga herings would do in twice the time. At 6:10 o'clock Grand Master Butler struck the gavel, thus closing in ample form the Grand Lodge, using the usual ceremony of the order. Another pleasant feature for many of he brethren was the home-like and royal welcome tendered the brethren to the cozy home of Royal Grand Matron Mrs. Viola E. Hart, who did all she could to allow the brethren to have a little touch of the social side of Americus. Mrs. Hart is well liked by the brethren. Her remarks at the musical, the preceding evening, were practical and applauded by the brethren. She is at the head of the O. E. S. and is doing much for this part of the Masonic work. The brethren are proud of the Home, its surroundings and the fine cotton, corn, vegetables, etc., that are being grown. This session will be one long to be remembered. J. Prayer, Rev. A. S. Staley. Las week was a busy one for the citizens of Americus. The annual gathering of the Masons adds new life to the town. The city is improving. Many new buildings are being erected. Our people are holding their own in property and business. Mr. Matt Hart is holding his own as one of the leading grocers of that section. Mr. James Russell is still at his old stand opposite the postoffice, with the usual smile and cordial grasp of the hand. No one is more genial than the big-hearted J. J. Simmons, who is doing a thriving business on Cotton avenue. Everybody knows "Josh," and everybody likes him. "Boss" Warren is holding down the carrier's bag for Uncle Sam. He is the same genial "Boss." He made it pleasant, for his friends. The big mall carrier, Forrest Simmons, always mingles with the visitors and gives them a cordial grasp. Messrs. Westheimer, Appel and Boney conduct the leading tonsorial shop in the city. They are affable gentlemen and know how to make their friends feel completely at home. Mr. Phillips is conducting, as usual, his prosperous grocery business. Mr. D. E. Barnam has an exp-date undertaking establishment. He is doing good business. Dr. Hughely and Dr. Brinson are holding their own. Mr. L. E. Williams of Savaunah, president of the Pioneer Negro Saving Bank, the Wage-Earners', visited his old home. His mother was the proudest person in Americus during the week. She adores her son, and she is justified in doing so, because he is one to be proud of. Mr. Charles A. Clark of Brunswick, with his bundle of good cheer, was in the city. He was first seen with a bag of turtle eggs. Proposed Strike Against Western Union and Postal Approved. Uless its demands upon the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies receive consideration, a strike will be ordered within a week or ten days, so it was announced in New York Wednesday by the Commercial Telegraphers' Union. No specific date for the expiration of the ultimatum was set. AMERICUS NOTES. THE Georgia legislature will soon be in session. Look out for freak bills. Not only Georgia, but the entire South is affected with a class of peanut politicians who are anxious to ride into prominence or gain prestige, by bringing out some point on the Negro question. Politicians of ability do not stoop to such petty things to gain prestige among their constituents, but present statesmen like acts that would be of great benefit to the people at large. ONE more week before Hoke Smith and his reform administration takes charge of the government of the State. It is sincerely hoped that the administration will do nothing that they will regret in future years THE TRIBUNE and every well thinking colored man are in favor of a well informed voter, and are not averse to property qualification. But while we are in favor of this, it must be enforced regardless of race or color. A disfranchising law with a grandfather's clause is class legislation, and we will ever be against it. THERE are those of us who are not prohibitionists, but when the fact is noted that many of both sex of our people, young and old, are being ruined by the unrestricted sale of spirits, then we are inclined to assist in a more stringent law to restrict its sale or prohibit it. This may sound strange to many as coming from us, but in many things we must rise above self and act for the betterment of the whole people. We are in favor of a more restrictive law, and will not be averse to prohibition. ANOTHER treakish legislative enactment is being spoken of by a member of the legislature, by name, E. H. McMichael, of Marion county. This county is a secluded one in the western part of the state, and naturally its representative wants to gain prominence by introducing a bill in the coming legislature to tax all of the colored secret societies $10,000 annually. Mr. McMichael and all of his way of thinking will be modern Methuselahs before such an enactment become effective. THE TRIBUNE is the first paper in the State to call attention to the proposed disfrachissement enactment, and to advise our men the State over to become qualified to vote it down should it become a law. It is pleasing to note that our contemporaries throughout the State are taking it up and presenting sound facts thereon. Now we want the leaders of Chatham county and the First Congressional district especially to get to work and have the people become interested in the matter and qualify. If the law passes, it being a constitutional enactment, it will have to be ratified by the people. When the time comes for the ratification there should be such a large registration of our voters along with our white friends that will bury such a prejudice and class legislation. Our men must go to the court house, make their returns and register. Do it now. THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE continues to lash the hired agents of the street car company with the bastinado of truth. We agree that it is deplorable when the leaders (?) of the race for self-recommend racial humiliation. If it be a fact that these agents are colored ministers, their entire membership should desert them. It is no sin to remain off the street cars. It is a sin, though, for colored men to squeeze the financial life out of their congregation and then stab them with the dagger. Mark these fellows as public nuisances unworthy of the name of fellow citizens.—Advocate. It is reported to us that whiskey and beer are sold on Sundays at Lincoln Park. This report has not been verified but steps will be taken to find out the truth of it and if it is a fact, whoever is responsible for it will be presented to the grand jury. It is also claimed that liquors, etc., are sold to boys and girls at this place. This report also will be verified and if found true the guilty ones will be presented to the proper authorities. Those of us who are in a position to, should not allow our children to be thus polluted by those who deal in the demon whiskey that is doing so much to ruin the weak ones of our race. This resort, Lincoln Park, as conducted should be obliterated from the map of Chatham county. A FEW weeks ago we chronicled the fact that one of our young men of Philadelphia, was the successful competitor for the Rhodes scholarship. An examination will be in this state next January. We have a number of brainy young men who should enter the examination. There is to be no race barrier. Let our boys study for it and enter. Following explains a little about it : "The next qualifying examination for a Rhodes scholarship for Georgia will be held at the University of Georgia about the middle of January 1908. The scholarship will be selected before the end of March, and will begin his residence at Oxford in October. Scholarship will also be open in 1909 and 1919; 1913 and 1914; and so on, omitting every third year. Candidates must be unmarried and must be citizens of the United States. They must have passed their nineteenth birthday, but must not have passed their twenty fifth birthday on Oct. 1, of the year in which they are elected. All scholars must have reached, before going into residence at Oxford, at least the end of their Sophomore year's work at some recognized degrees-granting college or university. The qualifying examination, which is an equivalent of the Oxford "Responsions," includes Latin, Greek and Mathematical—nothing else. In accordance with the wish of Rhodes, the trustees desire that In the selection of a student for a scholarship, regard shall be had to his literary and scholastic attainments, his fondness for and success in many outdoor spots, his qualities of manhood, truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection of the weak, kindness, unselfishness and fellowship, and his exhibition during school days of moral force of character and of instincts to lead and to take an interest in his schoolmates. Information about Oxford, its various colleges and their courses of study, is to be found in the "Student's Handbook to Oxford" and in "Oxford and the Rhodes Scholarship," both published by the Oxford University Press. It has been stated, and too, with some degree of truth, that it is nearly as hard to hang a white man in Georgia for a crime convicted, as it is for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. This has been verified in many cases. Recently the white man Rogers who killed his wife, was found guilty and sentenced to be hung. Several attempts were made to have his sentence commuted, but without success. The last move is to present a plea of insanity. The success of this move is questioned, but at any rate, the condemned man was not hung yesterday as sentenced, and it is a question if he will ever be hung. The jury in this case has done its duty, and the Judge is anxious for the law to be satisfied but how about the other white men? Our white friends have been claiming that we are against the apprehending of our criminals, and can we not make a counter charge against them for cases like the above and similar ones? In Brunswick a few weeks ago, a white man went into the barber shop of a colored man. He was shaved and afterward walked out without paying for the shave. When asked for the money, without warning he shot down the colored barber. A jury of white men said that he was not guilty. The judge became so exasperated over the case that he was compelled at the close of court to give vent to the following: "As sure as you live and as sure as there is a just God," said Judge Parker, "unless we move up a little in the observance of the law and in meeting out justice impartially we are going to pay for it. If I thought such conditions came from any action or lack of action on the part of this court I would step down from this bench and never preside over another case in this court. We must stand shoulder to shoulder, regardless of whom affects, and where, wrong had been done, and where, right, aplied the right and condemn the wrong. We need to think of this. We must have such conditions that our people shall learn from youth to obey the law, respect the law and to love the law, from which they receive so many benefits." Ministers Union. The Evangelical Ministers Union met Tuesday morning at St. Philip A. M. E. Church on time, with Rev. J. A. Lindsay president in the chair. After religious services conducted by Rev. G. P. Gillard, the Union took up the regular business. Rev. J. S. Jenkins, Rev. J. C. Colcough, and Rev. J. A. Brockett delivered outlines. There was such a field for thought and expression presented by the preachers in the outlines until nearly all the theologs got stirred up before we got through. Revs. B. S. Hannah, R. V. Branch, L. W. McMillan, R. H. Robinson, J. T. Thomas and that "other disciple" too, all took part in the helpful discussion growing out of the sermonic outlines. Until now growing in popularity among the ministers. Those who do not attend are their own losers. Rev. G. H. Lenon, the new pastor at Asbury Church met us for the first time and joined our number. It is good for the brethren to come and dwell together in unity. No use to stay away, the people will find it out anyway, so you just as well come on and let the union help you. Second Baptist Church. The delegates to the convention, Dr. May, Deacon W. S. Roundfield, and Mrs. F. H. Starr, have returned, Rev. J. H. Hill preached an excellent sermon Sunday at 11 o'clock.

The death of Mr. Caesar Brinson, which occurred Monday June 10, removes from our midst one of the old land marks. He was born in Newberne, N. C., Dec. 12, 1830. In 1852 he was confirmed in the Episcopal Church by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Ives of the diocese of North Carolina. In the same year he came to Savannah and was received in the Episcopal church by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Elliott of Christ Church of the diocese of Georgia. In August 1860, he was married to Miss Sylvia Ann Givens. Of this marriage two daughters survive him, Mrs. Sarah Jane Levi and Mrs. Isabella Chaney. Several years after his first wife's death, he was married to Mrs Henrietta Brown, who preceded him in death about four years ago. One daughter Mrs. Rosa Jones, survives this marriage. He was one of the oldest Masons in Georgia. He was initiated in 1866 when Eureka Lodge No.1 was formed under Worshipful Master A. L. Standford. He afterward joined Mt Moriah Lodge No.15, of which he was a member at the time of his death. He is also one of the organizers of Electa Chapter No.1, O.E.S, and was its second royal patron. Mr. Brinson was also a Royal Arch Mason.] He loved masonry and he loved the Order of the Eastern Star. His greatest delight was when he was among the members of these orders. All of the lodges were his, he was interested in them alike. When he first felt the ill effects of the ailing that was fatal to him, he was in the lodge room attending a meeting Mr. Brinson was a man of a lovable disposition. He always had a kind word for everybody and was ever ready to lend a helping hand to those in trouble. He was always jovial. His sunny disposition won for him many friends who always found pleasure in being with him. He remained active to his death. His memory will be ever kept green by those whose life he has cheered by his sunny disposition. Mrs. Williams Death. Mrs. Williams Death. Mrs. Luoy B. Williams, wife of Mr. W. W.

NORTH EAST CORNER WEST BROAD & HUNTINGTON STREETS, SAVANNAH, GA: First Automobile That Was Run in New York. A The automobile is not a modern product, as most people think. One was running in the streets of New York a half century ago. It was invented by Robert Dudgeon, who built the "Steam Road Wagon," as it was called, to carry him to and from business and to convey his family to church. It was a noisy apparatus and consumed two bushels of coal and nearly a hogshead of water on each trip. Mr. Dudgeon rode in it for ten years, when the city authorities forbade his further use of it. The machine is still in existence at the inventor's Long Island home. A similar automobile, built by Mr. Dudgeon, was exhibited at the Crystal Palace, London. 10 Future Father-in-Law (who refers to the dowry)—"You will have a splendid cow, Seppl, when you marry Dorotea."—Meggendorfer Blactter. 100,000,000 BARS RECEIVED FOR LANDS From the Post-Intelligencer (Seattle.) Useful Kitchen Implement. In the illustration below is shown an implement for general use in kitchens, embodying means for opening cans, squeezing lemons, mashing potatoes and similar operations. The base of this utensil has a flat lower surface to be used as a potato-mashing head and a slotted squeezing cone extending upward from the base. The cone enters a cavity in a conical-shaped portion above carried by the shank of the implement. Extending A entirely around the cone are a number of openings, the juice squeezed from the lemons being thus discharged. Pivotally connected to the shank is a hand lever, by means of which the implement is manipulated for mashing potatoes and squeezing lemons. At the side of the implement is an attachment for opening cans, consisting of a centre pin and an adjustable cutter. The pin is inserted in the centre of the can to be opened and the cutter adjusted to extend close to the edge of the can. When in position the implement as a whole is turned upon the can, the can being thus cut adjacent to the edge.—Washington Star. New Woman of Japan. New Woman of Japan. MISS AKURI INOKUCHI.

Whose Use Turned Out to Be Quite Different From What Had Been Expected. A man who had often seen on the side of a building that he passes in his rounds down town a sign reading "Cement Coated Nails," and who had wondered what cement coated nails could be used for and made up his mind that they must be for use in wharf building or something like that, under water, where the cement on them would protect them against rust, learned upon inquiry that the cement on the nails did indeed have a protective, purpose; but this purpose turned out to be one quite different from that which he had imagined. For the coating on cement coated nails is designed not to protect the nails themselves, but the goods in the boxes in which the nails may be driven; and this in a manner that to the man of inquiring mind seemed quite novel and remarkable. The cement coated nail is a wire nail. In these days there are more wire nails used than cut nails, because wire nails are cheaper; they cost about the same by weight, but there are more wire nails to the pound, and so wire nails' have come into widespread common use for many purposes, one of them being found in the nailing together of many sorts of boxes. A wire nail can be drawn more easily than a cut nail and so with less likelihood of injury to the box, and this might seem only another recommendation of the wire nail in such use, as it reasonably might be if one of the chief considerations were the preservation of the box; but the primary consideration is, of course, the protection of the box's contents, and here is where the cement coated nail comes in, and in the manner that seemed novel and remarkable. With time and the opportunity the cover of a light box wire nalled could be lifted and replaced and the nails redriven without showing any marks on the box, and thus there was the possibility of the abstraction of goods from such boxes in transit. For instance, a pair of shoes might be taken out of a shoe case, and the cover put back without showing any signs of tampering. And with this requirement for it along comes the inventor of the cement coated nail, which is simply a wire nail covered with a very thin coating of material that makes the nail, once driven, stick so tightly that not only does it hold more securely but it can't be drawn without marring or breaking the box—New York Sun.

A lady in Salisbury, Md., says that she was compelled to abandon the use of coffee a good many years ago, because it threatened to ruin her health and that she went over, to tea drinking, but finally she had dyspepsia so bad that she had lost twenty-five pounds and no food seemed to agree with her. She further says: "At this time I was induced to take up the famous food drink, Postum, and was so much pleased with the results that I have never been without it since. I commenced to improve at once, again my twenty-five pounds of flesh and went some beyond my usual weight. "I know Postum to be good, pure and healthful, and there never was an article," and never will be. I believe, that does so surely take the place of, coffee as-Postum Food Coffee. The beauty of it all is that it is satisfying and wonderfully nourishing. I feel as if I could not sing its praises too loud." Read "The Road to Welfville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." The Pulpit A SERMON BY THE REV JRAV HENDERSON Subject: Covetousness. Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church, Hamburg avenue and, Welfried street, on the theme "Covetousness," the Rev. I. W. Henderson, pastor, took as his text Ex. 20:17, "Thou shalt not covet." He said: Timothy tells us that the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. Covetousness is part of the soil in which the tree of evil is nourished and out of which it grows. The child of darkness and of the brood of greed, covetousness is a canker to the soul. Born of blackness, it makes dark the life that is under its control. Where greed is and covetousness abides are no more peace, purity, contentment, quieted life, life of Befouls, its presence happiness is destroyed. Under its godless influence joy and peace are impossible. It will fill a quiet life with turmoll and discontent will rule. Covotousness is greed let loose. It is selfishness compounded and the grabber's life energy in the grabber's life. Its life is sin and its consequences are appalling. Covetousness must not be confounded with honest desire to emulate good example. Covetousness and righteous discontent are not one. Covetousness and manly ambition are not similar. The man who looks with greenish glinting eyes at his neighbor's well deserved reward is no brother to the soul who longs to follow in the path of those who have achieved success. However wrong envy may be adjudged to be the man who wants to do and to become and to carn a higher place in life, is worthy of a praise. To look upon the wealth of the poor and the luminence of others with the well-being because it is no less reprehensible than that unmanly, self-stultifying lack of pure ambition and of noble aim which is characteristic of so many. Discontent with our lot in life may be a blessing or a bane. Dissatisfaction with self and with success attained is a motive to larger and continued effort. Satisfaction and stagnation are not far removed. Righteous discontent incites to progress. Unrighteous discontent makes the soul sick. The history of the world is the record of the discontent—good or godless—of individuals and nations. The unrighteousness discontent of a Bismarck—that is to say, the covetousness—gave to the world the courage of the Franco-Prussian war as a model of the Prussian finance and of unified Germany. Russia wishes Asia for a province all her own and our news is full of war. Napoleon is covetous of empire and Europe is bloody as a shambles. The wretched thief is envious of money and your gold is gone. The wall dressed speculator on the street maddened with the lust for wealth plunders a host as hungry for shekels as himself. But opposite Napoleon stands discontented Washington fighting for his country's weal. Kosciusko, Garibaldi, Wykcliff, Huss and Luther, all rise up as discontented men. The exalted dissatisfaction of our forefathers finds expression in the country that we love so well. The covetousness is contrary to good of God, the proudness of Christ. Righteous discontent is a boon to humanity for without it men would never move ahead. But let us not digress too much. Covetousness is the subject of the tenth command for good and sufficient reasons. It is senseless; it brings distress; it is a curse. Covetousness is senseless, it is unwise. No man by taking thought can annex, his neighbor's property to himself. The highroad to unhappiness is founded, as much as it is built upon anything, upon envy of the other fellow's fortune. Envy is silly for it makes us sick with jealousy and disappointment, the while it offers no relief. The fact that your neighbor is undeserving of his fortune or has no real appreciation of his benefits' neither alters your position nor remoulds his state of mind. That other toiler's place will not be redeemed, and you will be no. The other woman's clothes might not become your style at all, although they do look well on her. But grit and go may put you in a higher place, and make you peer with him whom now you wish you were; and taste with sense and little casu may keep you in becoming clothes. Covetousness of the other person's clothes or place or wealth is senseless and it certainly is sln. Then, too, to covet is to undergo distress. Think of the heart aches and the head aches of those who forget their present blessings in fearful contemplation of the other people's joys. The pleasure of the hour lies unused. The opportunities for immediate happiness lie unnoticed. The joys of the fields and the skies and the hills and the vales all are forgetten. Life with its many unpriced happinesses is a thing uncared for and unknown. The soul, the heart, the mind, the every faculty of being, all are distressed and diseased with inordinate desire for the other man's possessions. Woe be the man or the woman into whose heart the devil of envy enters. For to covet is to be afame with sin. Covetousness is a curse. The courts are calendared with cases of unholly lust for land. Love lies plain in many a home because of marriage ties undone. The jails are full of men who coveted the property of the other-man a little bit too much. The business world well knows the necessity of "thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's man servant." Too often the surest way to down a rival has been to lure away some trusted employee who could draw away his old wife. In the offices of many a business home this is sagacity and not sin. The shop girl is greedy for the ribbons and the trinkets of the moneyed maid above her and she sells her body, while she damns her soul to gratify her whim. Covetousness is a curse. But while there is admonition and a lesson for those who are guilty of this stated sin there is also another lesson for our day which springs out of this command. The careless, ostentatious, ill-balanced display of wealth by those who possess it is a sin. The ownership of property beyond the average enjoins wise administration on the owner. The man at the top has a mighty regulative influence upon the world of men beneath him. If men are covetous of other people's wealth, they are so, many times, because plenty has flaunted itself so recklessly in the face of their great need. The girl whose life is wrecked may not be all to blame. The useless, vulgar display of finery by women whom she never met may be the central reason for her downfall. The millionaire squanders his millions and the example is followed by the poorest of the poor. America is the land of those who live in poverty because our moneyed man has extravagantly wasteful. Sham, pretention, desire to appear to be or to be worth something more than we are may readily be traced to the influence of the unwise rich. If a man is entitled to all that he can use rightfully then some men ought to be deprived of nearly all they have. Those who have much should consider it a bounden duty not to give cause to those who are less fortunate than they to become covetous. The wasteful millionaire heads a list of thousands who are living far beyond their own list. The list throughout our land is filled with names of men who, urged by unholy discontent, have risked and lost their all. But more than this covetousness is unnecessary. I for one believe that all men are entitled to fair hours, a fair wage, a decent home and a few of the luxuries of life. My heart goes out to the toller who is ground and crushed in the wrinning wheeze of a man who may have a chance to live a manly life. I take off my hat to his discontent, for God knows there is reason for it. But to yearn for better things and a decent chance in life is not to be covetous. Covetousness is unnecessary no matter how poor a man may be. The blue sky arches over rich and poor alike. The air cares not whose lungs it fills. The sun smiles down impartially upon the earth, and is free. Wealth cannot buy the charm of studying humanity. Money cannot purchase love. Even a poor man may be upright, kind and true and pure. The humblest soul may do the noble act or speak the cheering word. STATESBORO DOTS. Rev. J. S. Stripling filled his appointment at Weaver's Chapel on last Sunday and had a large crowd.

The hardest rain this year was on the 14th instant; washed nearly all of some of the crrops away. MESHACK HODGES, Reporter. DAYTONA, FLA., NOTES. We are having some fine weather now. The children's day exercises at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church on Sunday, the 9th, weer a success. All of the children had their pieces perfect. The duet that was sung by Miss Nancy Morgan and Daisy Andrews was a masterpiece. The paper on The Life of Bishop Allen by Miss Bertha F. Stewart was a timely one, full of instruction. Superintendent S. W. Thomas and his corps of teachers are rejoicing over their success. We are sorry to note that Miss Mabel Andrews is on the stick list this week. We hope for a speedy recovery. The excursion from Jacksonville on the 10th brought down between five and six hundred head of people and all had a good time. Mrs. A. Stewart and daughter, Bessie, who have been spending some time at their old home in Madison, have returned to the city. We regret to note that Mr. W. M. Dorgen has moved to Jacksonville. He will be badly missed in our city. Kev. A. L. James, pastor at Mt. Bethel Church, spent several days in Jacksonville this week. Mrs. Charlotte Edwards and Mrs. Sallie Griffin have gone to Tallahassee, where they will spend the summer. Little Ethel Whiteman is spending a while in Ormonde with her aunt. Mr. R. F.

It is 550 miles long, and is capable of passing 400-, 000,000 gallons of oil yearly. Another important oil pipe line has been built for transporting Texas and California petroleum across the Isthmus of Panama. It is eight inches in diameter and fifty-one miles long. The growing popularity of interlocking rubber tilling is shown by its invasion of new fields, being extensively used in kitchens, vestibules and bathrooms of the better sort; in fine ocean liners, lake steamers, ferry boats and yachts, where its non-slippery character and the fact that it remains unaffected by constant wrenching strains render it very valuable, and now it may be seen in one of the finest cathedrals in the country and in one of the largest of our public art galleries. The best efficiencies of centrifugal pumps are supposed to have been obtained at discharge velocities equaling about twelve feet per second through the discharge aperture of the pump. Recent experiments have shown that from pumps as large as thirty-two inches eighty per cent. efficiency was obtained at 38.68 feet lft, under a discharge velocity of 21,2 feet per second, while some recent tests on very small pumps show gradually increasing efficiencies under heads up to eighty-nine feet and discharge velocities of forty feet per second. Hydrofluoric acid as a cleaning agent for castings' has been in general use but a short time, being treated a few years ago as a secret process. Formulae for the acid containing superfluous and innocuous ingredients to mistify the purchaser' have been sold for considerable sums. Anything used in connection with this "pickle," aside from the hydrofluoric acid and water, is wholly unnecessary, the usual formula being one part of acid to ten of water. In adding water, however, care should be, taken to know the strength of the acid. The idea is to get a dip that will remove the sand perfectly and quickly, the operation requiring ten to fifteen minutes. HAS CIGAR BUTT MANIA. Vienna Lawyer Disciplined For Acts Due to New Nervous Disorder. An eminent Viennese barister was recently struck off the rolls for a practice which was pronounced unseemly and derogatory to the dignity of his profession; namely, the habit of picking up and collecting the fag ends of cigars in public streets. It was pleaded for the barrister that he was suffering from a peculiar nervous disorder. Considerable discussion followed in medical circles in Austria and Germany and inquiries made by the Tageblatt of the chief specialists in neurotic complaints confirm the existence of this peculiar class of nervous derangement, which occurs mostly in persons of superior education and high attainments. Cases are cited of persons otherwise sane, of good social position, who are unable to withstand the impulse to pick up bits of paper, twigs, corks and such things which are lying on the pavements. One is reminded by this story of Dr. Johnson's alleged uncontrollable impulse to touch every street post as he walked through Fleet street. London, returning if he happened to miss one. Why Certain Men Marry? An editor sent out circular letters to a large number of married men, and asked them why they married. Here are some of the answers: Because I did not have the experience I have now. That's what I've been trying for eleven years to find out. I married to get even with her mother, but never have. I have yearned for company. Now we have it all the time. I thought it would be cheaper than a breach of promise suit. Because Sarah told me five other men had proposed to her. That's the same fool question my friends ask me. I wanted a companion of the opposite sex. She is still opposite. The old man was going to give me his foot, so I took his daughter's hand. Because I asked her to have me and she said she would; I think she got me. Because I thought she was one among a thousand; now I think she is a thousand among one. I was lonely and melancholy and wanted some one to make me lively. She makes it very lively. Peaked Colorado.

One Man's Food Coats Some $9,000 In Seventy Years. · A mixed diet makes things a great deal better all around. One pound of bread, one-third pound of lean meat, and one-sixth of a pound of butter daily would supply almost the exact ideal proportions. In seventy years, $3,000 pounds of meat, and 4,000 pounds of butter—62,000 pounds in all, costing, say, $9,000, says St. Nicholas. If a man lived wholly on fish, he would require eleven pounds a day, or 275,000 pounds in a lifetime—say, a fish 70 feet long by 30 deep by 10 thick. If he lived on rice alone, he would have to eat three pounds a day, or 75,000 pounds in a lifetime—an amount which would furnish him with about 50 per cent. more heat than he had any use for. By combining fish and rice; however, as the Chinese do, in the proportion of one pound of the former and two of the latter, he could live very well. The relative cost in this country would be about $30,000 for fish alone, $6,000 for rice alone, and $7,000 for the two combined. His hardest time, however, would be when he tried to live on green vegetables or fruits, alone, avoiding bread and beans, both of which play such a part in vegetarian bills of fare. Of ordinary vegetables, such as beats, cabages, tomatoes, and the like, he would have to eat twenty pounds daily. Of fruits he would have to eat thirty pounds daily, and even of potatoes fifteen pounds daily. On the other hand, two pounds of rye bread, two pounds of potatoes, and a taste of fat, either animal or vegetable, makes a very cheap, well-balanced ration, costing only about $1,500 in a lifetime. Thousands of Russian peasants live on just such a diet. Jill: "Is he? Why, that fellow slept standing on his head all one night and never knew it until he woke In the morning." Bill: "You're joking?"

"About four years ago I was afflicted with black splottles all over my face and a few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irritation, and which caused me a great deal of suffering, to such an extent that I was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of ——. After a thorough examination of the dreaded complaint they announced it to be skin eczema in its early stages, but it did not amo good. Finally I became depressed and cided to discontinue their services. Then my husband purchased a single set of the Cuticura Remedies, which entirely stopped the breaking out. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotle was entirely gone. I have not felt a symptom of the eczema since, which was three years ago. Mrs. Lizzie E.

"IMITATED IN STYLE BUT NOT IN GHEW" That our American forests abound in plants which possess the most valuable medicinal virtues is abundantly attested by scores of the most eminent medical writers and teachers. Even the nurtured Indians had discovered the usefulness of many native plants before the advent of the white race. This information, imparted freely to the whites, led the latter to continue investigations until to-day we have a rich assortment of most valuable American medicinal roots. Dr. Pierce believes that our American forests abound in most valuable medicinal roots for the cure of most obstinate and fatal diseases and properly investigate them; and in particular they provide potion with bride to the almost marvellous curses effected by his "Golden Medical Discovery," which has proven itself to be the most effective and most important heart, liver and circulator and blood cleaner known to medical science.

Wine of Cardui goes to the seat of your trouble and is sure to do you good. J°F.

MRS.SADIE ABBOTT Women for the most part spend their lives at home, and it is these women who are willing and ambitious that their homes shall be kept neat and pretty, their children well dressed and tidy, who do their own cooking, sweeping, dusting and often washing, ironing and sewing for the entire family, who call for our sympathy. Truly the work of such a woman is "never done" and is it any wonder that she breaks down at the end of a few years, the back begins to ache, there is a displacement, inflammation or ulceration of the abdominal organs, a female weakness is brought on, and the struggle of that wife and mother to continue her duties is painful. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and aeros, is the exact medicine a woman needs whose strength is overtaxed. It keeps the feminine organs in a strong and healthy condition. In preparing for childbirth and recuperating therefrom it is most efficient. It carries a woman safely through the change of life and in making her strong and well assists her to be a good wife and mother: Mrs. Sadie Abbott, of Jeanneette, Pa., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham— so carefully with pain every month and also a pain in my left side. My doctor prescribed for me but did me no good; a friend advised Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and I wrote you in regard to my condition. I followed your advice to take a well-worn pain pill.

As a gentleman and an educator, he stands without an equal. Professor F. A. Glenn, Secretary and Treasurer of the Byrne Business College, is now personally in charge of the Athens Business College: This fact alone is enough to give the people confidence in the success of the school. Mr. Glenn is well and favorably known throughout Georgia, and is one of the most prominent educators of the south. He is truly the young people's friend. He will spare neither time nor money to make the school he represents meet the demands of the best railroad and business offices. Parents who wish to give their sons and daughters a business training that will fit them for the practical duties of life cannot do better than to place them in the hands of this prominent educator and his excellent corps of teachers. He is a man who will look after the students' welfare morally as well as mentally.

ODDITIES IN THE DAY'S NEWS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD Washington, D. C.—Letter carriers, if they desire to wear shirt waists, must wear also dark ties and neat belts. This has been determined officially by the Postoffice Department. A few days ago Postmaster-General Meyer received a letter from a mail carrier suggesting that the postal regulations state that carriers, when wearing shirt waists, must wear dark ties. He then continued: "I desire very much to know whether the wearing of ties is compulsory for a member of a religious sect that does not allow its members to wear ties at all. Does not the Constitution of the United States insure religious freedom to every legal citizen?" Postmaster-General Meyer, replying to the communication, said: Paris.—The wife of a farmer of Mount de Marsan, in the Province of Laudes, was buried while in a state of catalepay. The woman had suffered from a lingering illness, and death apparently took place a week ago. The body was interred on Friday, and for some unexplained reason the grave was not filled at once. The following Monday a man who was passing the grave heard stiffened proceeding from it, and ran to the house of the Mayor to give information. The Mayor summoned a doctor and hurried off with him to the cemetery. When the coffin was opened the woman inside made a convulsive effort to rise: The doctor put his arms around her and raised her to a sitting position. Her heart was still beating, but she died shortly afterward. The woman had torn her shroud to pieces in her desperate efforts to escape from her living tomb. Philadelphia. — When the Rev. Charles R. McClellan, D. D., pastor of the Fair Hill Baptist Church, of this city, suggested to his congregation that the church should be surmounted by a roof garden, where a vaudieville show could be held in warm weather; to attract men, women and children to Gospel services, those present manifested their approval by subscribing $12,000 for the project. The Fair Hill congregation is composed largely of mill workers. Dr. McClellan said, "Too many of us find the church unattractive. We must offer something to draw them from the playhouse, the poolroom and the saloon. If necessary we must supply a free lunch, which attracts so many men to the saloon." Cleveland, Ohio—James Benham, a grocer, has cured his wife of nervousness and insomnia by a stage device. He saw in a medical journal that the patter of raindrops on the roof would cure sleeplessness. Getting a theatre employee to help him, he rigged up a thunder and lightning maker on the tin roof of his house near his bedroom. When darkness came he sent his son out with the garden hose and urged his wife to go to bed, saying it looked like rain. Soon the rumble of thunder and flashes of lightning were followed by the patter of raindrops on the roof, and in a few minutes Mrs. Benham was asleep. Benham says the trick has worked a complete cure. Just after he had said: "This is the last time I can help you." Asa Van Keuren, a sawyer, was killed at Pine Bush Hill, N. Y., by being caught under a log which he was helping a friend to take from a wagon. Tuberculosis in Milk.

South Carolina Woman Badly Treated by Man Who Accompanied Her to Texas to Buy Farm Lands. Charged with robbing Mrs. . Sallie Gibbons of Columbia, S. C., of $61,000, Rufus Williams, now in jail at San Antonio, Texas, has confessed to the crime. He was caught Friday on an east-bound Southern Pacific train on his way to New Orleans. Mrs. Gibbons and Williams arrived in San Antonio Thursday morning from the east, the former for the purpose of buying Texas lands. She had on her person $61,000 in bills and the balance in gold coin. At noon Williams obtained a local livery and suggested a drive in the woods. Mrs. Gibbons was struck on the head and an attempt was made to drown her. Williams stated he took her money. Mrs. Gibbons is a well known woman in Columbia. She inherited a large fortune from her uncle, the late Squire Levi Metz, who, at one time, was worth several hundred thousand dollars. About twenty years ago, in the failure of a Columbia bank through the embezzlement of the cashier, Metz lost heavily and became involved in a number of lawsuits. As a result he was ever after afraid to trust any kind of bank, and it was currently believed that he kept large sums of money in his little house in North Columbia. Mrs. Gibson lived with him for years prior to his death and came into all of his property when he died two years ago. Last fall Mrs. Gibson was called to the door about 2 o'clock one morning and struck on the head by an unknown person. It was supposed that her assistant purposed to rob her, but her screams aroused her neighbors, and he did not accomplish his purpose. Within the last few weeks, Mrs. Gibson sold for $10,000 the old Metz property on North Main street; she sold for $12,000 a tract of timber land in Lexington county. In order to make a title to these properties she had lately settled up numerous claims against the Metz estate, but it has been supposed all the time that she had large sums or cash in her possession and carried money with her. She recently compromised a case against the Southern railway for damages received while traveling to Oklahoma to visit her sister last year. Mrs. Gibson is regarded as eccentric. She frequently had spells in which she would alternately pray and curse in a loud voice for hours on her plaza in the dead of night. She has a number of relatives in Columbia, some of whom are prominent citizens, but none of them had any influence with her.

Facing Doom on Gallows "Professional Rapist" Confesses to Many Crimes That Long Baffled Law Authorities. Will Johnson was the negro who caused the riot in Atlanta last September. On the gallows in Fulton county jail Friday, with the spring of the trap between him and eternity, the lashing of his conscience was too much for this "devil incarnate," as Sheriff Nelms and Solicitor Hill fitly described him, and at the last moment he confessed all. Not only did Johnson own on the death trap to having assaulted Mrs. Hembree, the charge for which he had sentenced to hang, but he also confessed to other brutal crimes. The negro began by confessing to the Hemenee assault. He spoke deliberately. The prisoner's demeanor suggested that still other secrets were fighting to come out. Someone questioned him with this in view. Then the torrents of crime came pouring forth, each gush of confession more startling than the last. It seemed as if the questioner had unwittingly struck the fountain hell of all those horrors which broke forth in Fulton county month by month, and in home after home last year. As the negro continued the men about him fell back. He himself stood undisturbed almost to the final moment. Then, as the black cap was about to be pulled over his eyes he flung out one last confession, and sank choking to the floor. Until that instant it is doubtful if the total enormity of his life had ever dawned upon him. When it did dawn in giant streaks of gore and black, even his own bestiality fell down before it, stunned and blinded. Johnson maintained his innocence until a few minutes before he was take to the scaffold, when he made a partial confession to the two negro preachers who had been in constant attendance upon him for the past few days. Standing on the trap door of the scaffold he repeated what he had told the preachers and added other confessions to it. The condemned man, in a firm tone of voice, admitted having attempted an assault upon Mrs. Hembree, confessed to having assassinated J. A. Moody, an Adamasville farmer; told of shooting J. W. Bryant, an East Point farmer, and his sister, Miss Maud Bryant, which shooting was done in the early night, and through an open window, declared it was he who a few months ago made the brutal attack upon the Lawrence girls and took the responsibility for the murder, some years ago, of a man in South Carolina. Sheriff Nelms sprang the trap at exactly 11:45 and it was 12:20 before the physicians pronounced him dead, although the negro's neck was broken by the fall. During the 35 minutes that his body was suspended Johnson never moved a muscle. Not a contortion, not a movement of the fingers and not a single sign of life was visible. The negro's heart action remained quite strong until just five minutes before the physicians declared life extinct. Although the hour set by the sheriff for the hanging was 11 o'clock, a large crowds gathered in front of the jail fully half an hour before that time, and the officers were kept busy turning away the curious. Among those admitted to the jail were Mr. and Mrs. Hembree and their two young boys, and J. W. Bryant of East Point. It was for the assault upon Mrs. Hembred that Johnson was executed. It was Mr. Bryant whom Johnson confessed to having shot through an open window. Notwithstanding Mrs. Hembree had traveled to the jail for the purpose of witnessing the hanging, her nerve failed her at the last moment, and she decided to remain in the jail office with her little sons while Mr. Hembree joined the small gathering in the gallows room. Some 25 persons constituted the audience that heard Johnson's confession and saw him sent into eternity. These, for the most part, were jailers, officers and newspaper men.
