--- Defense in Haywood Trial Will Now Have Inning. ORCHARD CORROBORATED Prosecution's Closing Day Brought Out Some Strong Points Against Haywood—Negro Was One of the When the state closed its case at Boise, Idaho, Friday, against Haywood, charged with the murder of Frank Steunenberg, the defense made an unsuccessful attempt to secure from the court an order directing the jury to acquit the prisoner. Judge Woods' ruling, which requires the defense to meet with evidence the case that the state has presented, was made at 5:15 o'clock, and it was then arranged that Haywood's counsel should make their opening statement and present their first testimony on Monday. When the trial opened Friday morning, it was stipulated that the record should show that the date of the draft sent by Haywood to Jack Simpkins late in 1905 was December 21, and after that the prosecution proceed to show by a handwriting expert that George Pettibone, using the names of "J. Wolff" and "P. Bone," made two remittances of money to Harry Orchard at San Francisco, through the Pacific Postal Telegraph company, in the fall of 1904. The state next called Jim Seahorn, a colored horse-trader, who swore that he sold a horse and buggy to Orchard in Denver in 1905, and identified Haywood as one of the men who rode with Orchard. So far, many statements made by Orchard on the stand have been corroborated. He told of the houses he visited and the rooms he occupied in San Francisco; he told of experiments with the peculiar bomb which, he says, was invented by Pettibone; he told of receiving money from "Pat Bone," who, he said, was Pettibone; he told of the poisoned milk; he described his plans to blow Bradley and possibly his whole family to their death with a bomb loaded with dynamite; he gave his hotel address and each statement has been corroborated by witnesses whose testimony has not been successfully assailed in their cross-examination. The state has contented itself with bringing before the jury the story of the blowing up of the concentrator at Wardner, where Orchard lighted one of the fuses that caused the death of two men. The state commenced its strong corroboration of his story from the time of his connection with the Miners' Union in Colorado and the outbreak of the great strike at Cripple Creek. The Vindicator mine netted the murderer two men. He told how the powder was stored and where, and how it was fired by a pistol exploded by the lifting of a guard rail to which a wire was attached. The explosion of the Independence depot, confessed to by Orchard as having been planned and executed by him, resulted in the death of fourteen nonunion miners. Orchard said he hunted Governor Peabody by bomb and gun and both the former governor of Colorado and his daughter have testified to incidents described by Orchard. The attacks on Peabody were failures, but the man who made one of the bombs described by Orchard has been found and the bomb itself has been traced to the place where Orchard said it would be found. Orchard told of planting a bomb at the gate of Judge Goddard in Denver. This associate justice of the supreme court of Colorado has testified himself to the finding of the bomb after Orchard made his confession exactly where Orchard said he placed it. Orchard said he planted a bomb to kill Judge Gabbert, another justice of the supreme court of Colorado. Judge Gabbert escaped, but the bomb exploded and killed a passer-by whom Orchard described as "an innocent man." Orchard has been traced through Colorado, Montana, Washington and Idaho up to the gate of Governor Steunenberg's residence, where, on December 30, 1905, his last fearful crime was committe and Frank Steunenberg wag killed.

Lawton of the Central of Georgia Railway company, was in Atlanta Tuesday, having come to confer with Comptroller General Wright regarding the tax returns of that company. Colonel Lawton was asked by a representative of the Atlanta Constitution about the reported sale or effort to sell the capital stock of the Central of Georgia. With a smile, which seemed to indicate that there was something doing in this direction, he replied: "I would prefer not to talk." When asked specifically about the report that this stock had been sold to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company and the reported sale of the Ocean Steamship company to C. W. Morse, he replied: "Nelther of those reports is true." "Then there has been no change in the status of the Central's stock?" he was asked. "No," he replied, and then added: "None that I know of." "None that I know of." Colonel Lawton left the impression that there are or have been negotiations looking to the sale of the Central's stock, but he declined to discuss them. In his conference with the comptroller general he declined to make any increase in the tax returns of the Central of Georgia. He considered they were high enough. Comptroller General Wright had not completed his assessment, but the valuation he will put upon the property will be somewhere in the neighborhood of $29,600,000. The matter will, of course, go to arbitration. A Baltimore dispatch says: The report sent out from Atlanta, Ga., to the effect that the Baltimore and Ohio was believed to have acquired the Central of Georgia railroad, is denied by the Baltimore and Ohio officials. They say that there is no foundation for the rumor and cannot imagine how it originated. · KNOX KNOCKS ROOSEVÈLT. Senator Bids for Support of All Elements Opposed to President. Senator Knox's speech Monday before the Yale law school is accepted in Washington as confirmation of the suspicion which has long been in the minds of administration officials that the Pennsylvania intends to gather about himself all the elements in the republican party that are opposed to the centralization of power in the Washington government. To this extent Knox is to pose as the anti-Roosevelt candidate for the presidency. The declarations of Knox are especially significant when an interesting bit of unwritten history in connection with the launching of his boom is recalled. When the draft of the resolutions to be adopted at the Pennsylvania convention was presented to Mr. Knox for his approval, he made several corrections in it. He drew his blue pencil through the declaration that Senator Knox was a republican of the "Roosevelt type of public man." He made no change in the declaration that he stood for the Roosevelt policies, but did not want to appear in the light of a "Roosevelt type." This bit of information was communicated to the white house, where it was stored up for future consideration. In his speech at Yale Senator Knox indicated wherein he differs from the president, and explained why he did not care to be classed as a Roosevelt type. He believes in restricting the efforts of the government in the corporation regulation line to the powers conferred by the constitution and is willing to let the states exercise the same rights conferred upon them by the same authority. In the opinion of Washington politicians Knox has made a shrewd test. He is not so far out of line, however, with the president's views to be known as an enemy of the Roosevelt policies. WRONG NEGRO ARRESTED. Is Brother of Slayer of Young Brewster—Real Murderer at Large. The negro arrested, charged with the shooting and killing of Hal Brewster on an excursion train between College Park and LaGrange, Ga., has turped out to be the wrong man, and the one wanted for the crime is still at large. The negro arrested is a brother of the guilty man, and the resemblance between the two is so great that the natural mistake was made, both of them being on the train. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. JUNE 29. 1907. PITIFUL STORY TOLD By Daughter of Judge Loving on Witness Stand. CHOKED WITH WEEPING Declares She Was Drugged Helpless and Dichonored by Young Estes. The Recital Was a Most Pathetic One. Between stifling sobs, with tears streaming from her bright blue eyes, and valyly struggling to control her emotions, Miss Elizabe.h Loving, who has occupied the center of the stage in the trial of her father, Judge William G. Loving, for the murder of Theodore Estes, told on the witness stand at Houston, Va., Thursday the story of her alleged ruin at the hands of the young man her parent shot down. The recital was probably the most dramatic ever heard in a Virginia court of justice, and rivaled, if not surpassed, in point of atrociousness the story told by Evelyn Nesbit Thaw of her experience with Stanford Whi. It was the same story, she said, she told to her father on the day of the tragedy. The dead man, she declared, gave her a drink of whiskey from a flask* in his pocket while they were buggy riding the day prior to the killing. After taking the drink she immediately began to feel dizzy and her head whirled as if she had been given some powerful drug. In this condition and despite her protests, she declared that her escort drove her through a road not frequently used and despite her screams outraged her. Exhausted by the struggle and her mental faculties upset by the stimulant the witness declared that she recalled nothing more until she regained her senses, in bed, late that night, at the home of County Clerk E. L. Kidd, where she had been visiting. On the following morning, when her father asked her to explain how she came to be brought to the home of Kidd in an unconscious, and drugged condition, she related to him on bended knees the same story she told the court. It was this recital, declared the defense, which so wrought up Judge Loving that he was impelled to hunt up young Estes and take his life. Whether the story told by the 19-year-old girl can be weakened by the prosecution remains to be seen, and on the disproving of this story hangs the fate of the defendant. The state claims that it can be shown that the crime imputed to the man whose lips are sealed forever was impossible. The rebuttal by the prosecution probably will be the most important, though not most sensational feature of the case. Aside from the testimony of the young girl, the examination of two persons concerning the possible insanity of Judge Loving at the time of the killing and the testimony of the defendant himself and Harry Snead, were features of the day's proceedings. Dr. William Tuncall, who saw Judge Loving before and after the killing, testified that he thought Loving committed the crime while insane. Tunstall is a practicing physician of Nelson county, and upon cross-examination acknowledge that he was not an expert on insanity. His theory that Judge Loving was insane was based on the fact that he failed to speak to him in passing before the killing, and after the deed. "His head hung low and he was pale," said the witness, and this personal knowledge of Judge Loving, who, he said, frequently "got on drunken debauches," ending in delirium tremens, led him to think the judge crazy. Dr. Melvin, who has for years practiced in Hallifax county, testified about the effect on the mind and faculties of excessive drinking. FRENCH TROOPS MUTINY. Desert Government Out of Sympathy for Wine Growers. A battalion of the seventeenth infantry regiment, stationed at Agde, in the department of Harault, France, has deserted with its arms and ammunition and joined the insurgent wine growers at Beziers, the headquarters of the regiment. The mutineers, who mostly were recruited among the wine growers, number about four hundred men. They marched into Besees, which has about 50,000 inhabitants, with drums beating and cools flying. STIRS RACE PREJUDICE. Address of Senator Foraker at Commencement Exercises of Negro University Is Deeply Resented. A Washington special says: From a republican standpoint, a bold political prediction has been made upon Senator Foraker's recent commencement address at Wilberforce university, Ohio's leading colored educational institution, in which he severely arraigned the president and Secretary Taft for their course in the Brownsville, Texas, incident, and urged the negroes all over the country to stand up squarely for their rights and array themselves determinedly against the grandfather clause incorporated in several southern states' constitutions. It has been stated by a man who spoke authoritatively that a member of the cabinet, after reading Foraker's speech, ventured this prediction: "If Foraker makes many more such speeches there will be only one political party in the north and the name of it will be the white man's party." From another source, it was learned that Secretary Taft is greatly chagrined at Senator Foraker for the manner and the tone in which he discussed the action of the president in discharging three negro companies of the twenty-fifth infantry, and it is only by the strongest persuasion of close personal friends that he is restrained from answering the fiery Foraker without delay. In fact, Secretary Taft may yet decide to reply to Foraker while the latter's Wilberforce speech is still fresh in the public mind and before his own overwrought feelings are calmed by lapse of time. Not only does Secretary Taft feel that he is called upon to make a personal defense, but as a member of the administration which has been unprovokedly attacked he owes at least an earnest effort at resistance. "LET THE HEATHEN RAGE." Move of Steamship Companies to Taboo South Not Feared. The statement that the principal European steamship lines engaged in carrying immigrants had decided to taboo the south was shown to John A. Betjeman, chairman of the executive committee of the Georgia Immigration Association, and he was asked for his opinion on their action. In response Mr. Betjeman stated that the action of these two lines was not likely to cause any serious concern to either New Orleans, Galveston or Savannah, as it was definitely understood that a line as strong and aggressive was arranging to take care of both the freight and immigrant business into these ports. WHO WANTS A RAILROAD? Efforts Being Made to Dispose of the Central of Georgia Holdings. The undoubted purpose of the state of Georgia to regulate and control the great railroad corporations, through legislative enactments and executive administration, accounts for negotiations now under way in New York for the sale of the Central of Georgia railroad, and its auxiliary ocean steamship lines. There has developed an undisputed willingness on the part of certain interests to dispose of at least a part of their Central of Georgia holdings. Tons Made at Augusta, Ga. Acting under the pure food and drugs act, the revenue authorities are making an investigation of goods offered for sale in the barrooms of Augusta, Ga., and have developed the fact that a large percentage of the stuff is heavily adulterated, some of it being graded as almost poisonous. Seizures have been made and the goods turned over to the United States authorities BEST MAN KILLS GROOM. Young Men Went for Marriage License and Had Fatal Quarrel While leaving Dalton, Ga., late Saturday afternoon with his marriage license in his possession, John Carroll, a young farmer, living a short distance east of the city, was shot and killed by Harrison Holland, a friend, who had accompanied him to procure the license. Carroll was to have been married Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. On the way home the men began drinking, and a quarrel was started, which resulted in the tragedy. BOYWASMURDERED FIVE ARE LANDED IN JAIL Failing to Secure Ransom for Stolen Youth, They Became Frightened and Strangled Him to Death. Excitement Runs High. A New Orleans special says: Two miles in the Interior of a big swamp near the city the headless body of Walter Lamana, an Itallian child between seven and eight years old, who was kidnapped and held for $6,000 ransom two weeks ago, was found by police and vigilants just before daybreak Sunday. He had been strangled to death, according to the confession of one of several Itallians held by the police. The boy's neck is supposed to have been broken when he was strangled, causing the head to become separated from the body when decomposition set in. The head was found a short distance from the body. Five Italians, two of them women, are under arrest, charged as accomplices to the murder, and extra details of police and deputies are maintaining order in the excited Italian quarter of the city. All day long small crowds were dispersed promptly by the police, despite whose precautions a report has gotten out summoning. a mass meeting at Elk place. Seventy armed deputies have been placed on guard at the Orleans parish prison, the strongest in the state, where three of the prisoners are held, and some apprehension has been felt over the safety of two other prisoners who have been taken to an adjoining parish. Seldom since the mafia lynchings, sixteen years ago, has New Orleans been so stirred with threats of violence as now, and some of these threats are made by those who participated in disorders at that time. The law and order element is much stronger than it has been hereotore. The murdered boy was found near St. Rose, about twenty miles from New Orleans, in a territory which has been well searched with blood-hounds in the past few days. When the dogs failed to locate the boy a "third degree' sweating process wrugs a confession from one of the suspects, who was taken from his home in St. Rose about midnight Saturday night, and carried into the woods by a combined force of the officials and vigilants, who have had the search in charge. This man, Ignazlo Campiglcano, was kept in the woods an hour, when he confessed, charging four Itallians with the murder. He said that about the time of a mass meeting in New Orleans more than a week ago, held for the purpose of prosecuting a search for the boy, these men, who were in a vacant house in St. Rose, became frightened and consulted about what to do with the child. The boy was crying, begging to be taken home to his parents, said Campiglcano, and one of the quartet of kidnappers grabbed the child and strangled him to death to stop his noise. Later, two of the kidnappers came to him carrying the boy in a blanket, and after threatening him with death, if he told, took the body into the swamp. Campigiano, after relating this story, led the police by moonlight through two miles of swamp, where the searchers sometimes waded in water nearly waist deep, and at others crawled under tangles of oriars. In a shallow pool at the end of this search, the body was found in a blanket in a clump of wild cane. ROAD REPORTED SOLD. Rumor That the B. & O. Has Taken Over Central of Georgia. There was a well defined report in Atlanta Monday that the stock of the Central of Georgia Railway company, up to this time controlled through a holding committee, representing the Southern railway, has been acquired by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the reason for the transfer being the desire to keep from violating the Georgia law on the subject, the transfer giving the stock to a non-competing line. NO.40 Recall of Jap Ambassador at Washington Seems to Have Been Only a Political Bluff. A Washington dispatch says: The formal announcement by Viscount Hayashi, the Japanese minister for foreign affairs, in a Tokio dispatch, published Friday, that Ambassador Aoki is to be retained at Washington is regarded as clearly establishing the fact that the present Japanese ministry, headed by Salonji, has assured itself of the support of both the unionist and conservative parties in its present attitude toward America. For a time there was some doubt in Washington, even in the minds of the officials of the Japanese embassy, as to the power behind the demand of Count Okuma for the substitution for Aoki at Washington of a "strong" man, by which term it was understood he meant a Japanese committed in advance to the policy of demanding from America full rights of citize. $ ^{9} $ of residents and Aoki had real early the impossibility of securing all of these rights at this time, because of the inability of the national government to dominate state administration. He reports to his own government to that effect with the plain intimation that it was advisable to seek, instead of the unlimited rights, only those that might reasonably be expected to be conceded at this time—an opportunist policy—at first caused a disagreeable impression in Japan. The successful outcome of the recent war with the natural inflation of Japanese pride, tended to make the ambassador's policy of doubtful popularity. It is quite certain that the Salonji ministry was for a time somewhat taken aback at the ebullition of popular indignation evidenced in the publication in opposition in the newspapers in Japan, and it even is surmised that there was a slight weakening and a disposition to make some concessions. But soon after the agitation had reached its height, the Japanese business interests began to feel a very strong pressure from abroad, conveying a clear warning that a quarrel with America would leave Japan friendless and certainly would discourage the investment of foreign capital in Japan enterprises. With this favorable influence, the Salonji ministry found little difficulty in securing the adhesion of the two great parties in Japan to its policy, and the announcement made from Tokio, through the Associated Press representative to Ambassador Aoki's tenure is regarded as convincing evidence that Count Okuma's onslaught has failed and that the settled policy of Japan from now on will be to discountenance "jingo" agitation as directed against America, and to endeavor to strengthen the friendly relations between the two countries. A MEANINGLESS MANIFESTO. Issued by National Socialists and Circulated in St. Petersburg. A separate manifesto was issued at St. Petersburg Friday night by the National Socialists and circulated in the city. It is a colorless document of a thousand words, describing the duma's relations with the government. Its most effective phrase characterizes the session of the duma as "a hundred days of captivity." This document closes with the adage that every nation deserves the kind of government it tolerates, but does not make any definite imperative recommendation. DANGLING FROM A LIMB. Body of Macon Collector Is Found. Either Suicide or Murder. Author Dukes, a collector for the Wood Furniture company of Macon, Ga., was found dead in the woods near Ocmulgee park Friday evening at 6 o'clock. The body was dangling from a small hamb, where he had either hanged himself or parties bent on foul play. had committed the deed. IMMIGRATION IS ENDORSED At Annual Convention of Georgia Industrial Association.

But it's over 'n gone, thank goodness, an' nobody dead, without it's me." Aunt Roxy Knapp's lean old face wrinkled into a smile. "My dear," she added, "I can count the little creatures that I didn't nuss on the fingers o' one hand." Aunt Roxy had come up river for her annual visit to little Rosemary Lamont. Rosemary claimed Aunt Roxy because, she reasoned, she might have married Uncle Rufus Lamont "as easy as not," in which case she would have been an aunt, wouldn't she? "I suppose you ain't heard how it happened? No, of course not—well, soon's I get my breath I'll tell you the hull story. It's a kind of funny story the way it's turned out, but, dear land, it might've been solemn enough. The Bridge folks isn't liable to forgive Mis' Tripp for one spell." "Miss Tripp?" Rosemary queried, "Oh. Mrs. Tripp, with so many little Tripps!" "五—boys and girls equally divided. She's the one I mean, my dear." "Aunt Roxy!" Rosemary whirled about from the kitchen stove, "how do you equally divide five children?" "Two boys, two girls, an' the twins—one a boy an' one a girl, and neither of 'em but a half. Two an' two's four an' a half n' a half is another. There's your five children, equally divided, my dear!" Aunt Roxy's laugh wrinkled again pleasantly. She put out a slender old hand for Rosemary's cup of steaming tea. Under its benign influence the epidemic story unfolded. "Doreas Tripp was born scared, an' it grew on her, till when she come to be married and have children I declare to goodness If she wasn't most too scairt to bring 'em up! Epicomics was her worst dread of all. She was always certain the children were going to catch something. It frightened her nigh to death to hear they was'a case o' measels in town, or mumps, an' when somebody dropped in an' up 'n' told her Cornelia Higgin's boarder's little girl had the scarlet fever, you ought to've seen Doreas Tripp's face! Before that caller dropped out all the little Tripps had the scarlet fever and the twins was dead an' buried. "Well," Aunt Roxy took a reminiscent sip or two. "I heard how scairt she was an' I wear right over. 'Aunt Roxy,' says she, as pale as a ghost, 'I wish you'd button the children up, I've got to finish packing.' "Packing." I says, took all in a heap. Then I saw she was cramming things into valises like one possessed. She never looked up but hep' right on talking. "I'm going to Cousin Flavilla's," she says. "The children's got their best dresses on for traveling—if you'll button 'em up. An' I wish you'd hurry, Aunt Roxy, says she, hurrying like everything herself, I'm not going to stay in this plague-ridden town a minute longer than I can help. Do you suppose I want to bury my innocent little children! The twins are delicate—none o' the children could ever stan the scarlet fever. What I say is—kind of screaming it out—that people no business taking summer boarders an' perilling the lives of their innocent neighbors! Cornella Higgin ought to be asheamed of herself! First she knows she'll have blood on her soul!" Aunt Roxy rocked creakily. Yes, she didn't know but she'd have another cup o' tea. Rosemary got it with alacrity, its fragrant steam filling the little kitchen pleasadly. "Well, my dear (a mite more sugar, if you please), Dorcas went. In less'n four hours after she heard the news she was on her way to her Cousin Flavilla's. You know where Flavilla Cross lives, don't you? A dreadful manufacturing place, swarming with furrins. It used to be real aristocratic up where Flavilla's house in, but it's all built up with them fatties. Dorcas stayed. there till somebody wrote from the Bridge that Cornelia Higgin's boarder's little girl's scarlet fever had turned out to be the teething rash. Then Dorcas packed up an' come flying home with all the little Tripps a-tripping. My dear" (Aunt Roxy stopped rocking, stopped slipping tea; the teaspoon marked off her words solemnly), "my dear, in—just—seven—days—all—those—children—were—down!" "Down?" ejaculated gentle Rosemary, excited. It seemed the crucial moment of the story. Aunt Roxy's stories had crucial moments. "Yes, on the flats o' their poor little backs with the scarlet fever. They'd caught it playing with some o' those little furfaers." The dramatic pause that followed proved Aunt Roxy a true story teller. Rosemary waited with kindly solicitude to hear the fate of the little Tripps. "No," Aunt Roxy said, as if answering her thought, "they didn't nary one of 'em die. I nursed 'em all," with unconscious ogism, "an' they all come out of it without being deft or blind or anyways afflicted. But they set the fever agong all over the Bridge, that's what they did. We up an' had a regular epidemic o' scarlet fever. Only the Lord's mercy kep'a lot of us from dying." "And your nursing, Aunt Roxy," cried Rosemary, lovingly. "Didn't that make Mrs. Tripp feel ashamed of herself, 'perilling the lives of innocent neighbors?" "Dorcas feel ashamed? Well, she was 'amost too scairt for that. She didn't have a chance to feel anything but scairt for one spell. But I was over there last night, an' I must say there was something sort of chastened 'about Dorcas'—sort of chastened. No, my dear—no, no I don't never take more'n two cups at a time."—The Country Gentleman. UNUNIFORM MEDICINES. Wide Geographical Distribution and Age Make Drugs Unreliable. So, because any man, however ignorant, with any motive, however ignoble, may manufacture and sell any of the 50,000 compounds known to organic chemistry and may allege for them what curative powers he will; and because, too, of this unlimited opportunity for fraud among the older drugs, it becomes a matter of no surprise to learn that at the present time among the great number of firms manufacturing remedial agencies there is the greatest conceivable diversity of science, sincerity and wisdom. These drugs come from the uttermost parts of the earth—from the dank forests of Prazii, from the frozen Siberian steppes, from the banks of the "gray green, greasy Limpopo River, all set about with fever trees," or from "siliken Samarkand," but almost everywhere they are gathered by barbarian peoples, the lowest of earth's denizens. It is small wonder, then, that with any one plant there should be a variation among its individual specimens in the proportion of the active medicinal agent it contains. But when we add to this the fact that, in general terms, the per cent. of the active ingredient depends on the amount of sunshine it enjoys, on the time of the year it is gathered, even on the time of the day, on the amount of moisture, the elevation, the character of the soil and a dozen other factors, it becomes almost a necessity of thought that the amount of "medicine" in that plant must vary from a maximum to nothing at all. A man's wife goes bravely down to the gates of death to pass through, or, if it may hap, to come slowly back, bearing radiantly with her the flaming torch of another life. Ergot is required. Now, ergot is a fungus growing upon rye, where it destroys and displaces the ovary of the plant. It comes from Russia, Austria, Spain, Sweden, and where not; its chemical analysis does not seem to yield reliable information, for its active constituents are not definitely understood. Finally, the physiological activity of the drug may be good, or little, or zero, just as it may chance, while after the lapse of a year it becomes unfit for use. Yet it is to this substance, so utterly variable, that the physician must trust the life of the woman and the child.—Harper's. Fruits of Reclamation Service. Figures are now available covering the work of reclamation carried on from the organization of that service pursuant to the act of Congress in 1902 to the first of this year. As a result of the operations, which are conducted under authority of the Geological Survey, eight new towns have been established, 100 miles of branch railroads have been constructed and 10,000 people have taken up their residence in the desert. To pave the way for these home-seekers the Government has dug 1267 miles of canals—nearly the distance from Washington to Omaha. Some of these canals carry whole rivers, like the Truckee River in Nevada and the North Platte River in Wyoming. Forty-seven tunnels with an aggregate length of nine and one-half miles have been excaved. Automobiles and Coaching. James Martin, at whose North Side stables the "Blue Dog" coach which was used to make trips to Highland Park was kept, says that the arrival of the automobile has practically killed the sport of coaching in Chicago. There is now no demand for drags and brakes, although they used to be most popular.—Chicago Evening Post CONFIDENCES OF A CONFIDENCE MAN. --- When I sit down with pencil and paper and jot down the amounts I've made during the past year in my profession as a confidence man, the total stregges me. What have I done with it? I have squandered money like a prince and borrowed it a week later like a beggar. I have missed my breakfast in order to "skim" a greenhorn of $700 and lost it all before I got my lunch. I have helped a stranger unload $10,000 in a "framed-up" poker game and then gone around the corner and lost the whole roll bucking another poker game. There is one thing I'm sure of—I'm smart enough to get another man's money, but I'm not smart enough to keep it. I saw in a paper the other day a list of the salaries they pay to Congressmen, members of the Cabinet, Supreme Court Justices, Governors and a lot of those big guns. I make more than any of them, and I haven't a cent when the notice comes up from the office to pay the room rent or move. It's always so with bunko men. While he is framing up a game that will "skin" other "suckers," somebody else has a game waiting that will "skin" him Why, back in Chicago, where we used to work the crooked faro dodge on every stranger we caught loitering around a hotel, there was an Oregon gambler who ran a faro game on Wabash avenue exclusively for bunker men. That's a fact. He had a big play, too, and went to Europe on his profits. Every$night you'd see the "con" men line up around his faro table and go against the same game in which they had trimmed the yokeis earlier in the evening. It was a private game and none but "con" men and crooks had the entree. Nobody seemed to think it strange, and we lost our money about as regularly as we made it. Of course, we didn't always lose the first night, but it was only a matter of time. There are no faro games in San Francisco, but craps, poker and the races do just as well, and keep the gang hunting fresh marks without any let-up. Not very long ago I made half of $700 and lost it before I had the price of a lunch out of it. It happened this way: My partner and I picked up a fellow in a place on O'Purrell street who was anxious to beat the races. We were ready to help him. My pal told him he knew a horseman who had something good coming off in a few days, and introduced me as the man. I was offish and didn't want to have anything to do with outsiders but finally, after the stranger had bought a dinner for all of us, I warmed a little to him and agreed that I would let him in on the deal. "We'll make no mistakes," said I, when it had been agreed that our host was to be a party to the cleanup. "My horse worked the three quarters in thirteen flat this morning, and there isn't a thing in the race that ever did better than fourteen and a half. But I'm taking no chances." Here I leaned over toward them, looking around cautiously, as if afraid of being-overheard and lowered my voice. "I've got an electric boot." I whispered, "and I'll win that race if I have to turn my nag into a dynamo to do it." Our intended was properly impressed, and we made a date for the following morning, when I was to have the electric boot in evidence. I had to borrow $25 from the owner of the poker game where I usually lost my money to buy the boot the first thing in the morning. I was up bright and early and bought the boot and spurs. Inside was as pretty a little battery as you ever saw. It seemed a shame that the boot was not to be used. My man showed up, prompt to the minute, and I proceeded to show him how the contrivance worked. He was delighted. Then I told him that he would have to give me his money to bet, as I didn't intend to trust anybody with the secret of the horse's name until post time, and he was about to demur. "Look here," said I. "I'll write the name of the horse on a sheet of paper, put it in an envelope addressed to you and leave it at a messenger office with instructions for them to deliver it to you at post time. You are to give me your money now to take over with me. If that doesn't suit everything is off as far as you are concerned." He hesitated a minute, but we had assured him that my horse would be as good as fifteen to one, and the thought of the amount he could win overcame his scruples. He handed over $700 in gold to me to bet. I was to keep a third of the amount won to give to the "jockey." In this sort of business the money, of course is not bet at all. I wrote down the name of a horse that didn't have a chance and put it in an envelope and pocketed the $700 as a clear profit. The "snucker" came to me for an explanation that night, and I showed him a fake ticket showing him that I had bet the money. Of course he had no redress. But to return to the fate of the $700 after it dropped into my pocket. I had been in such a hurry to get the electric boat in time that I missed my breakfast. When I separated from the "greeny" it was after 12—just time to take the boat for the race track. I went from my room directly to our rendezvous, where I met my pal and divided the money with him. Then I jumped on a car for the ferry and was off to the races. In my pocket I had $350 of the "sucker" $ money and a lonely quar- ter of my own. Five cents of the quarter went for carfare and with the remainder I bought a round-trip ticket across the bay. In consequence when I boarded the boat I had nothing but gold in my pockets. I had intended to get my lunch on the boat, as I was hungry by that time, but on the after deck I met an assistant trainer in one of the big stables at the track. "What's good to-day?" I asked him after we had chatted a while. "Got any money?" was his answer to my question. I jingled my pocket full of gold. "There is something coming off in the first race," he hastened to say when he heard the clinking twenties. "You'll do the right thing if I put you wise?" "You know me," I said. Then he went on to tell me about a "frame-up" in the first race by which a horse called Yellowstone was to win. "It is all cut and dried," he assured me, "and you will get ten or twelve to one for your money." Before the boat reached the other side I had agreed to bet $200 on Yellowstone in the first race. Also I was still without my lunch, but I promised myself that I would get it at the track immediately after the race. When the odds went up for the opening event I went round the ring betting $20 at a crack on Yellowstone. Others were doing the same, and before post, time every book in the ring was loaded with Yellowstone money. It was a mile race, and the minute the barrier went up I knew my money was burned up. Yellowstone got off lengths behind the field—might just as well have been left at the post. He ran a cracking good race and finished fourth, but that did not save my $200. I still had $150 in my pocket and was standing in the ring gnawing my mustache, and snapping my fingernails in my disappointment when a man-about town whom I knew came up and told me that Michigan Smith, the plunger, had sent $1000 into the ring to be bet on the favorite, which was then two to one. "It looks like a clown," my friend "It looks like a cinch," my friend said as he drifted away. I didn't hesitate a moment, but elbowed my way to the nearest book and handed over my remaining $150. The horse was beaten a nose after a furious drive. Everybody said the boy tossed the race away by overconfidence. It didn't make any difference to me anyway. The books had that $350, which was all I cared about. As I turned back toward the betting ring cursing myself for a fool, I saw a fellow being served with a nice, thick porterhouse in the restaurant. Then I remembered my lunch. Gee, I was hungry, and I didn't have the price of a cup of coffee about me. On the first two races I had lost all my money, even including the $25 I had borrowed to buy the boot. I hadn't bought even a shave or a shine or a lunch out of the money. As I "mosied" glomily ground the ring the rest of the day and saw the horses I would have bet on win right down the line I tried to figure what was the difference between myself and the "sucker" who had given up the $700. The only difference I could see was that I had the privilege betting my money before losing it, while he had not. I had to walk up from the ferry that night for the lack of carfare, but I was comforted somewhat by the thought that Mickey, my pal, would lend $50 or even $100, and I would be on my feet again. The minute I saw him I knew it was all off—that his money was gone, too. His face was longer than anybody's in town. Before a word was said each knew the other was "broke." "What did you lose yours on?" he asked. "Good things in the first two races. Where did you drop yours?" "Poker game," he answered. "I wean up to where there was a big game going. They had been at it all night. I lamped around for a while and saw that they were playing them high and loose. One fellow in particular was bluffing on every other hand and standing 'pat' if anybody stayed. Then he shove in his whole pile and make 'em lay down. I stood behind him and he did that a couple of time without a pair in his hand, as I could see. So I thought that I'd sit in and wait for him to try it again. I bought checks for a hundred and left the rest of the $350 in front of me. The first hand I picked up three aces. Somebody opened the pot. I just stayed to draw them on and the bluffer raised us $50. We both saw the raise and drew two cards apiece. He stood pat. Knowing how the fellow had been bluffing on the same kind of a play my three aces looked like a cinch. We both passed and he shoved in all he had in front of him. The other fellow laid down and I called him, putting in all the money I had. "Three aces here," I said, and was reaching for the pot. I was so sure of it, but he showed down a small full house and took the money. I left the game minus my $350 after playing just one hand. We were silent for a while. "Let's go out and rustle up dinner money," I said at last, and we went. Let's go out and rustle up mime money," I said at last, and we went. At the commencement of the present racing meeting at Oakland my pal and I opened a "tipping" bureau. Our idea was that he would run the "tipping" game and I would pose merely as a customer. In this way I could hang around the office and "freezs" on to any likely looking "suckers" who appeared. His dealings were to be strictly on the square — that is, he would sell a couple of tips a day and refund the buyer's money, as per agreement, if they did not win. If I landed any of the clients for a bunch of money I did it on the outside and my pal sympathized with them, but told them he only knew me as an occasional customer. The business prospered beyond our best hopes. Micky had all kinds of luck in picking the winners and by advertising we soon had an income of nearly $200 a day. In addition I steered one of our clients into a poker game where he lost $3500, and the next day I caught a boy from San Jose for $5000, which he had just received from his guardian on his twenty-first birthday. These "killings" set us up in the world, and we lived like millionaires. I also had luck at the track, and in the middle of December I had $18,000 in a safe deposit vault. That was the heyday of our prosperity. It was a common thing for us to have nothing but a tip for the waiter left out of a $100 bill after we had dinner. But we didn't care nor even think about it. It's easy to be prodigal when you have $18,000 in a box waiting to be spent and more coming in every day. But it wasn't long before the tide turned. In the first place we struck a losing streak with our tips and the $200 a day dropped off until we scarcely paid office rent. Meanwhile I was dropping big wads of coin at the track. I couldn't seem to pick their right. One day I lost $4500. On another $2800. My roll couldn't stand that long, and on New Year's Day I took our last thousand over to the track. I intended to bet on two horses—Firestone, which I knew was likely to prove; the best two-year-old on the Coast, and Proper, in the New Year's Handicap. A horseman persuaded me to stay off Firestone, which he said was not ready to race, and at the last moment I switched from Proper to Logistilla. The latter was left at the post and Proper won. On the way back that night I felt natural. I was broke. I've been broke ever since, and the way things look now I am likely to stay that way, for the easy marks are staying out of my path, if there are any in town. Now, I am an old idiot at all kinds of gambling. I make my living by knowing more about that sort of thing than the man whose money I want, and yet I squander all I make in going against games in which my money isn't worth ten cents on the dollar the moment I sit in. Years ago I was talking with John Condon, the blind racetrack magnet of Chicago. We were discussing gambling and the chances a man has to win. "Weil," said Condon, "there's only one way to beat a gambling game. Make the other fellow go against your game. With me any time a man didn't want to go against my game there was no play." Shrewd old John Condon hit the nail on the head. As long as the "suckers" play my game I get the money. The moment I begin to gamble in any other game where another man has the percentage I lose my money the same as any other "sucker." I know this and yet I go right on losing my money. Why? There's a conundrum. If I had $10,000 I'd give it all to know the answer.—San Francisco Chronicle.

SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1907. The first bill introduced in the senate after organization will be the prohibition bill. The re- demption of a certain class of the youths of our race lies in strict enforcement of a prohibition law. DURING the week on an excursion train, near LaGrange, one of the finest white men of the state met his death in attempting to separate some combatants among the colored excursionists. This is to be regretted, because such incidents only tend to widen the breach between the two races. Whiskey was the cause of it, and so was the ever handy concealed weapon. It is said that whiskey is sold on Sundays at Lincoln Park. And not only that, it is sold during the week also and as the great majority of the attendants out there are young boys and girls, those in charge would be guilty of a double offense in selling on Sundays and selling to minors. The attention of the authorities is called to this violation, and it is hoped that it will be abated. Vicious resorts of this kind are breeding places of crime. Break them up. At a meeting of the trustees of Atlanta University held in Boston, Wednesday of last week, Dr. Horace Bumstead resigned his position as president Dr. Bumstead succeeded the late President Ware, founder of the University. His administration was marked by the withdrawal of the State appropriation $8,000 annually because he refused to accept the policy dictated by the State. Rev. Edward Twichell Ware was elected as his successor and will assume charge next September. The resignation of Dr. Bumstead is regretted but the University is to be commended for securing such an able successor. A LARGE per cent of those on the chaiangang of this county are young boys, many of whom have never had the opportunity of common school learning. This can not be remedied as long as the authorities allow over four thousand colored children to be out of school for the want of accommodation. It is a wonder that the per cent on the chaiangang is not greater. We are willing to declare that of those who are there none of them can be found who have attended our public schools. This is a broad assertion but the proof is easily ascertained. Does this not argue in favor of more school facilities for the colored children and the cutting down of court, jail and chaiangang expenses, thereby decreasing the burdens of the tax payers? The following is clipped from the Memphis Citizen and speaks for itself: Today one of the most damnable conspiracies known to annales of crime was brought to light when Dr. Wm. Knight, manager of the Visitors Drug store, colored, was acquitted on a charge of criminal assault upon a white girl. The girl testified before the grand jury that she had gone in the store to make a purchase and while there she was assaulted by Dr. Knight. He was at once arrested after he to give $200 bond. Dr. Knight is of light complexion, and would be taken for a white man. When Dr. Knight appeared in court the girl did not know him and broke down completely. A white paper reports the following: "The case of the State vs Knight, the colored druggist, charged with criminally assaulting a white girl, was not proscribed by Prosecuting Attorney Means in the Gleitnourt Court this afternoon. The reason for dismissing the case was the fact that Eva Burnett, the prosecuting witness admitted to the prosecuting fattorney that she testified falsely before the grand jury and that not only Knight, but no other colored man assaulted her. She stated that she was induced by other parties to accuse him of the crime—Hot Springs Daily News LAST week at Meldrim, Effingham county, a white man killed a colored man because the colored man earlier in the day assaulted the white man's father. The white man was acquitted. For any wrong that the colored man did, we do not and will not condone, but we do condemn the white man for his action. It is right for him to defend his father but it is not right for him to have murdered the colored man under the circumstances which it happened. The officials of the county should have taken the matter in hand and punished the colored man for whatever crime he had committed. If this was done the white man today would not have the brand of Cain upon him. Our good white friends should see that violations of every kind be met by stern justice regardless of who the guilty party may be. AFTER this week hundreds of boys and girls will commence their summer vacation. Parents, give them something to do so as to keep them off the streets. Keep them employed even if you have to pay some one to do so. THERE is certain element of our people that can not attend entertainments or go on picnics unless they have some weapon concealed and an appetite for whiskey. This is a combination for trouble. Cut these two articles out and everything will be serene. The better element among us must preach reform along this and other moral lines. Keep mum and things will be come more demoralized. THE legislature convened on Wednesday last. For fifty days it will be in session. It is called the reform legislature, and no doubt, it will handle the Negro question without gloves. The hope is expressed that the conservative element of both branches, but especially the senate, will see that nothing is done tending toward class legislation. If anybody doubts the Republicanism of Col. Sol C Johnson, the brilliant editor of the SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, can clear his mind of the doubt by examining his editorial page and seeing what prominence he is still giving the campaign appeal of Chairman J. S. Sherman of the Republican campaign committee in 1906. Mr. Sherman was elected a Republican Congressman more than nine month ago, but Col. Johnson is still carrying Mr. Sherman's campaign literature. Solomon is a noble Roman.—Atlanta Independent. We plead guilty to the insertion of the campaign block of '06, in our issue of June 15, inst., as presented by our versatile and able contemporary, Benjamin. We were out of the city during that week, therefore the "devil" took charge and edited the paper largely with blocks. Register; Every- BODY REGISTER A mass meeting will be held at the Harris street hall on Friday night July 12 to interest our people to register. The entire State is alive on this question and Savannah and Chatham County must not lag behind. For pride sake every colored man should pay up his tax and become qualified. Those who have not done so, should go at once and make returns and register at the same time. The return books close on July first. Be men for once. Become qualified. Attend the mass meeting on July 12 and urge upon your friends to attend. The ladies should become interested and urge the men to do their duty. Protection Lodge 3200 G. U. O of O'. F.

Hamburg avenue and Weirfield strect, on the theme “Profanity,” the Rev. Ira W. Wemmel Henderson, Pastor, took as his text Exodus 20:7, ‘Thou salt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.” He said: Af there fs anything that is disgust- dng it ts unbridled profanity. And the prevalence of useless, pointless, WRiustified swearing merits the atten- Yon not alone of the Church but al- 80 of the civil authorities whose duty St is to keep the moral atmosphere of this and every other community free of verbal pollution. The com- mand ought to be obeyed and the civil law oa the point ought to be enforced. The silly fool who spreads the germs of diphtheria or typhold or smallpox broadcast throughout the comraunity will soon feel the iron hand of the law laid heavy on his «shoulders and he ought very properly be put under Jock and key until san- ity has returned, but any man with- ‘out a sense of moral respectability or even elementary decency may satu- rate the moral atmosphere, in which we have to live and to rear our youth, with all manuer of verbal disease and the average policeman will Dut smile or perhaps add to the sum total of uneleanness. ‘The man who has such poverty of language and such an ab- solute incl: of common’ sense that profanity is to him the one way to dignify and emphasize the expres sion of ideas, should be jailed with that other man who endangers our phystcal health. The third command- ment has, we know from experience, a very practical and forcible applica: tion to this day, Nowhere may we escape the mah ct unwholesome speech. Men with gray locks and boys just out of kills, men who should know better and boys who must Jearn the disgrace of proftigate language if they are ever to amount to much in life, both and all are guilty af: the most shamefal depravities of apeech. As thinks stand to-day, uo man can Tear a child wit 2 pure mind. We walk our streets and curses every- where fill the air and fail npon our ears. Does a herse Ualk the Almighty is Invoked to move,him. Is the dray- man deiayed.a moment he curses the fellow just ahead. It is impossible to sit by an open window on any prom- iment thorougafere without being morally poisoned. Dées the boss in the shop wish to hurry up the men the vilest of language is the means he uses to set speed to hand and mind, Not once but hundreds of times I have scen fowl mouthed in-, spectors, overseers and sang bosses Snvoke the maledictidns of heaven and hell upon poor dumb driven brutes made in the imace of the Maker, lest forsooth they ‘straighten Weary toil bent backs to siexe 2 mo- ment’s rest. | ° Of course thee very men will tell you that they have no desire to dis- honor God nor to offend our moral sensibilities Ther lay it to habit. thoughtlessness and a hunéred other causes. J am convinced myself that much of the swearing of the day is due to thoughtleseness rather than to wilfal sin. Azd yet I Have seen the same men take mere liberties with the narie of Almighty God than J would allow them to take or they ‘ould dare to take with my name— elther thonghtlessly or wilfully. ‘Thonghtlessness is no excuse. God gave us brains and tongues, and it $3 our duty to exercise oar wills and to°use our tongues for the expres- sion of worthy thought alone. Of course men don’t think, that is to say, the most of then fo not, for if they did swearing wosld go by the board to a short and sure death. To plead thoughtlessness in extenwation of sin 4s to play the baby-aet. Men should think and cut the enraing ont. ‘The third commandinent has solid sense behind it, as have all of God's commands. The misuse of the name of God, or of the name of our Lord, Frofanity, swearing. ‘cursing, all should bs abhorred for several good and sufficient reazons. . Profanity is unnecessary, unmaniy, indecent, immoral, ungodiy. ‘Thera are five good reasuas why it should be put aside. Profanity is unnecessary. A curse never prove a point. It rather dem- onstrated the paucity of thought of the swearer. " Oaths never convince A person of the validity ar strength of an argument, but they do show up, the poverty of language of the man’ who uses them. Curses never made any workman do better work; they have, however, been the excuse for many a murder. Sense and no swear words will unravel many a perplex- tng problem, ‘The uame of God is to be hallowed not looted oa the streete. The name of Jesus is wor~ thy of reverence and adoration; its misuse damns not the man who is maligned but the curser. There is Ro problem in life that can not be solved without curses. Sense, indus- try, wise reasoning and good juds- ment will settle any difficulty. Pro- fanity is useless, unnecessary and wholly unprofitabie. ‘Then, too, profanity ts unmanly. Many boys Seem to have the idea that the one sure sign of manliness 4s to be able to swear with vigor, pro- ficiency and volume. ‘There never was a steater mistake in theworld, Instead of being a sign of manliness fr teat eps tan Ab peda tat Betacam reed befits a normal, rational human be- ing. | Creatures’ of reason as we are, we find that the curse files in the face of sober thought. Used as we are to logical processos we find the curse deyold of logic. "Profanity reeks with sulphur and sends Satan to our hearts. Tt E utterly unbe- Atting and unbécomins: To say that it, is dishonorable Ss Sust to begin the damning count against profanity. ‘The curse {s with- ‘out honor for it Is used only to spread dishohor. It looks never toward God but rathersuses His name to invoke the aid of the powers of hell. It is dishonorable from start to finish and indecency marks it as her own. But one of the two worst things about profanity {s that it fs tmmo- ral, root, branch, tree and fruit, Ca- tering as it does to all that {s low in man, Hand and bond servant as it fs to ail the hosts of sin, profanity dis- integrates the unity ' ofe individual personality, No man can be profane without dishonoring God and dam- aging himeelf. We cannot give vent in word to the evil that is im us without spreading contamination not only through our own lives but also through the lives of men and women al about us. Profanity is unclean, it strikes at the foundations of mor- ality. It undermines the sense of honor and destroys the faculty of cool, deliberate judgment; under no circumstances {3 It susceptible of justification and its immorality {s un- questfonably a fact. : But the last and the worst charge ‘that may be upheld against profanity js that it fs ungodly, “Thou sbail love the Lord Thy God with all thy heart and mind and soul,” says our Father. The curse is heartless ‘and it destroys our finer faculties do we give it time. Under its blighting in- fluence the power of mental appre- ciation of the glories of God will be lost. It is soulless to the last ex- treme. How can a man be godly while cursing the children of Goi in the name of the Father who has given them Iife? How can a man Be godly when the springs of sin are rushing from his mouth? Ab, no! Profanity, is ungodly. It shames God and disgraces man. It seviles the Father and degrades His sons. God is good but profanity is evil. Géd Is Kind.but the curse is verbal murder. God jis truth but the curse cares not for truth. 5 Unnecessary, unmanly, indecent, immoral and ‘ungodly profanity is the most frequent as the most insidi- ous of the sins of the tongue. And yet bad as it is when used by men, it is most abhorrent when coming from the lips of a woman. Not that it Is morally any worse, but that it sounds Worse. If you ‘really want to become positively assured of the horridness of profamity you need but hear a woman curse. We need to-day’a strict insistence upon cleanliness of language. No man can be a friend of Jesus who is ungodly In his talk, Christ proved divinely the possibility of forceful speaking without the use of profan- ity. And to-day men are most force- ful, most manly, most convincing when they do not swear. Pull Your Boat Up Stream. To drift with the current oF to pull against it—this is the problem which is born anew with each new day. Some of our daily dutles are easy to perform. We turn to them ‘as easily and naturally as water secks a level. There 4s no conscious ex- ‘penditure of will-power. There is no resistance in our nature that must ‘be overcome. But these are the du- ties of the day In whose performance there is found the least merit. Fortunately tor us we cannot,~or at least dare not, always drift, nck day has its tasks which test the will and try the heart. Their perform- ance requires stern determination. They afford the best discipline and @evelop the latent powers of the soul. Inclination Is not always—tn fact, not often—a true test of the thing we ought to do first. Sometimes it has been a source of wonder to find a preacher very:zeady in the use of language, and yet mak- ing no headway in his chosen profes- sion. Jn more than one case the ex- planation has been found in a dislike of study and reading on his part, To talk has been with him as casy as to drift. To stady—well, Le has beea unwilling to pull against tiie current, and ke bas fatled. ‘To pull azainst the current devel- ops muscle, Jung and nerve: It in- creases the power of resistance and endurance. To do the thing we dis- like beeause we ought to do it, 15 to zive the will the place it deserves to Occupy. It is to make conscience a master, and make us conscious of our own powe-. ‘The hills of God are up stream, not down.. The mount of victory !s never reached by drifting. ‘The * ay of success lies in the “pull;” not the vulgar “pull” of the fineneier and ‘politician, but the pull against the eurrent.—Pittsburg Christian Ad- vont. FS Helped by Our Company. There are some men and some women in whose company we are al- ways at our best. While with them we cannot think mean thoughts or speak ungenerous words. Their mere presence is elevation, purification, sanctity. All the best stops in our nature are drawn out by thelr :0- tercourse, and we find a rousic in our soul'that was never there te- fore. If to live with men dilvted to the milllonth degree with tho virtre of the Highest can exalt and purify the nature, what bounds can be set to the influence of Christ?—Profes- sor Drummond.

Your heart and my heart, Beat quicker at the sight— Sun-kissed and wind-tossed, Red and blue and white.

Jack Gridley's Celebration ACK GRIDLEY crawled through a hole in the fence back of his home and cautiously tiptoed toward the house. The sun was higher than Jack had intended it should be when he returned; when he ACK GRIDLEY crawled through a hole in the fence back of his home and cautiously tiptoed toward the house. The sun was higher than Jack had intended it should be when he returned; when he had slipped out of the back door, just before midnight, with two big cannon crackers and his pockets full of smaller ones, and had joined Bill Ainsley, to set the church bell wildly ringing, on the stroke of 12. in joyous-time honored salutation to the glorious Fourth, he had planned to be back in his room and in bed before the sun rose. He was none too soon, for even as he slipped his jacket off preparatory to jumping into bed, Miss Ann's thin, cracked voice rang up the narrow stairway: "Jack, you can get up now!" "Yes'm," was the meek reply. Jack filled his pockets with the remainder of his crackers and presented himself in the kitchen. Jack Gridley was motherless, and his father, a commercial traveler, had found a home for the boy with Miss Ann Hobart. "Now, suppose," continued Miss Ann, "that you give the two large crackers to me for safe keeping; I am afraid the temptation to fire them will be too great otherwise." Jack grew red in the face, and hastily gulped down a glass of milk. "Can't, they're busted," he said. "You mean they are broken. But you haven't told me how you broke them," continued Miss Ann, sweetly. "I—I I fired 'em!" Jack blurted the truth out manfully. "John Gridley! what do you mean?" All the sweetness was gone from Miss Ann now. "You haven't fired a cracker since you rose this morning. Now when did you fire those big ones? Tell me the truth instantly!" "Last night," said Jack, feebly. "At what time last night?" "I don't know Jes' what time," was the weak reply. "John Gridley, look me in the face and tell me what time you left this house." The jig was up and Jack knew it. "Well, if you must know, it was a few minutes of 12," he said. "Hand me those crackers, every one you've got. Now, John Gridley, don't you stir foot outside of the yard this day. Now go out to the woodpile, and saw until I tell you to stop." Poor Jack! He wouldn't give Miss Ann the satisfaction of knowing how bad he felt, but when his stint of wood was finished, he fled to the barn and up in a dark corner of the haymow he had his cry out with only the sympathetic whinny of old Nell in the stall below for comfort. All the morning he had heard the pop, pop of crackers, and later the circus band, as the procession paraded the streets; he had even caught just a glimpse of the parade as it entered the tent, for the circus had pitched not far from Miss Ann's house. This was the first circus in Easthampton for years, and Jack had set his heart on going. Miss Ann strongly disapproved of circuses, but Jack had written to his father and obtained consent, providing he was a good boy, and now—Jack wept afresh. Most of all he wanted to see the elephant (it "Signing of the Declaration of Independence." THE CONFERENCE OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES John Hancock is seated at the table on which rests the Declaration. Near him, standing, are Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Sherman and Lyingston. was a small circus and had but one of the huge pachyderms). About 3 o'clock Miss Ann relented to the extent of allowing him to have his crackers, and in the noise of these he tried to drown out the noise of the circus band that floated out from the big dingy canvas so near and yet so far. Suddenly it flashed into his head that he might send up crackers on his kite. Why not? "Signing John Hancock is seated at the table Jack took the biggest cracker that he had, one he had been saving for a grand climax, made an extra long fuse, attached it. In the usual way and then gave the kite all the string he had. Up, up, up she sailed until she floated fairly over the circus tents. Jack heard it explode, followed instantly by a scream that made Jack's hair rise. Out from behind the tent shot a huge black beast, tearing across the fields with awkward, lumbering strides, but wonderfully fast. It was the elephant! With trunk thrown up and back of its head and trumpeting shrilly, it made straight toward Jack, smashing down the rail, fences in its path as if they were straws, his keeper in full pursuit, hopelessly distanced. From the big tent began to pour out a strange motley crowd of townpeople, painted clowns and scantily dressed bare riders to see what had happened. For a moment Jack, too frightened to move, watched the huge beast bearing down upon him, then he fled to the hayloft in the barn, and through a crack watched the mad race. Then the runaway caught sight of the big, wide open barn doors (Miss Ann had told Jack to close them that afternoon) and probably seeing safety in the dark recesses, of the barn,ushed in, where he stood trumpeting and trembling with fright. Gradually the elephant grew quieter and Jack's courage began to come back. Presently he noticed the long trunk feeling along the edge of the mow and examining the new quarters, so he beat a retreat once more. The new hay was not yet in, and the small amount of old hay left was at the back of the mow. A rustling at the edge of it caught his attention and he made out the elephant's trunk stretching for the hay, which it could not reach. Cautiously he held out a wisp. It was taken and the trunk disappeared. A minute later it was back again. So Jack continued to feed the elephant, and growing bolder, crawled to the edge again, having MISTRESS COLUMBIA SEWS A NEW STAR ON "OLD GLORY" FOR THE NEW STATE OF OKLAHOMA a bundle of hay in his hands. This time the elephant saw him and before he could retreat the big trunk had caught him and deftly, but gently, lifted him down. The hay he still held, and timidly offering it, it was promptly accepted. A few minutes later the keeper opened the doors, to find to his astonishment his big charge and a small boy on the best of terms, and when the elephant was ordered out, he refused to move without Jack. "Pick him up, Mike," ordered the keeper, so, gently, the elephant placed Jack on his back and the procession started for the circus tent once more, Jack the envy of all the boys in the village, and Miss Ann realizing her helplessness in the situation. The show settled for the broken fences, but Miss Ann still retains her prejudice against circuses. As for Jack, to this day no one knows who dropped the cracker in front of Mike. Jack looks back to that Fourth, when the circus came to him because he could not go to it, as the greatest celebration he ever had. Independence Day. Letter from John Adams to his wife, written on the 5th of July, 1776: "Yesterday the greatest question was decided that was ever debated in America, and a greater perhaps never was, nor will be, decided among men. A resolution was passed without one dissenting colony, that these United States are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States. The day is passed. The 4th of July, 1776, will be a memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to Almighty God. It ought to be, solemnized with pomp, shows, games, sport, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of the continent to the other, from this time forward forever. You will think me transported with enthusiasm, but I am not. I am well aware of the toll and blood and treasure which it will cost to maintain this declaration and support and defend these States; yet through all the gloom I can see the rays of the light and the glory." of the Declaration of Independence on which rests the Declaration.

MISTRESS COLUMBIA SEWS A NEW STAR ON Is Harry Orchard, Says Attorney for Haywood. OTHER SIDE OF THE CASE Defense Begins Task of Breaking Down Evidence of Prosecution in Court at Boise—Darrow is Sarcastic. In an address that occupied two sessions of the district court at Bolse, Idaho, Monday, Clarence Darrow of Chicago outlined to the jury the defense of William D. Haywood to the charges that he murdered Former Governor Steunenberg. In broad description it is to be a denial of every material count in the testimony of Orchard with a showing that Orchard killed Steunenberg because of a private grudge borne of the loss of a rich share in the great Hercules mine, and explanations of the independent circumstances that tend to connect three co-defendants with Orchard's life and operations. Haywood will take the stand to make personal denial of Orchard's accusations. Moyer may be called to testify solely to events and circumstances affecting the Western Federation of Miners, but Pettibone will not be a witness in this case. Mr. Darrow explained that Moyer and Pettibone must stand trial for this same crime, and declared that every lawyer knew the danger, whatever the circumstances, of exposing men awaiting trial under like circumstances. Mr. Darrow denied the existence of the great conspiracy to murder alleged by the state with Orchard's testimony as a basis; denied that the federation was anything except an earnest fighting labor organization. "Harry Orchard," said Mr. Darrow, "was a cheap soldier of fortune, a shoe-string gambler who had not ever done a day's work in his life. "We don't think that Orchard was at the Bunker Hill and Sullians mills. We will show that he was not-there and we will show that he was engaged in his favorite work of gambling with the eastest mark he could find. We will show that he did not participate in most of the crimes of which he has here boasted. I don't like to take any of the bloom off a peach like that, but while we will show he is not the murderer he boasts himself, we will compensate him by proving him to be the most monumental liar that ever existed. "Before our first witness leaves the stand, gentlemen, we will convince you; we will convince Mr. Hawley himself that this man Orchard has lied out most of the essential points of his story. We will have from twenty-five to thirty witnesses who will take the stand and contradict this man absolutely. Some of these will be miners, but others will be eminently respectable people who have never done a day's work in their lives." Here, as at other points in his speech, Mr. Darrow's sarcasm caused wave after wave of laughter. Sometimes the bafflers had to rap for order. Mr. Darrow briefly sketched the wanderings of Orchard as related by the witness. Orchard remained in the Couer D'Alenes, he said, trying to regain possession of his one-sixteenth interest in the Hercules mine until he was driven out by fear of arrest and confinement in the "bull pen." "Then he wandered from place to place, seldom working," said Mr. Darrow. "He was a sort of gentlemanly miner who mined the miners. In 1892 he turned up in Cripple Creek. But from 1899 to 1903 this important personage in American history, is all except lost to view. Pretty certain, however, that during that time he could have been found in the back room of some saloon, gambling. "If Orchard today held his one-sixth interist in the Hercules mine, he would be worth half a million dollars; but I think he'd rather have what he's got because it is more valuable to the newspapers. "That story about the Bradley house was another of Orchard's pipe dreams thrown in to make him the greatest criminal of the age. We have a deposition from Mr. Bradley in which he says the house was wrecked by gas; that he smelled the gas and that when he lighted his cigar the explosion occurred. Orchard never blew up the Bradley house, and I tell you this without having any special intention of defending Harry Orchard." CONTRACT FOR BIG WARSHIPS Let by Navy Department for Total Outlay of $8,364,000. The Newport News Shipbuilding company with one bid at $3,987,000, and the Fore River Shipbuilding company of Quincy, Mass., with a bid at $4,377,000, were the successful bidders for building the big 20,000-ton battle-ships. The coming twelve months will be strenuous ones for each officer and member of subordinate lodges. Let them prepare for effective service. Last Monday was observed as St. John's Day. Eureka Lodge No. I, under the lead of Worshipful Master George L. Blinejard, observed the day by carrying a large excursion to Beaufort, where the lodge united with the Sons of Beaufort Lodge and other visiting brethren in celebrating the day. The lodges made a short, parade from the hall to the church, where an inspiring address was delivered by Rev. Brother Jefferson. The Sons of Beaufort Lodge had refreshments in abundance prepared for the visiting brethren, and, in fact, did everything possible to make their stay very pleasant. The sail was a delightful one and each person expressed himself as being well pleased with the trip and the courtesies extended. Eureka Lodge never does things by halves. The endowment plan of the Grand Lodge is meeting with hearty approval, and from the present outlook it is destined to be the best governed institution of its kind in the state, one that the brethren will have complete confidence in. The board of management consists of Grand Master H. R. Butler, M. D., Grand Secretary Sol. C. Johnson, Brother Charles A. Clark, Brother W. D. Johnson, Jr., and Brother W. C. Thomas, as secretary and treasurer. We pride ourselves in saying that we could have made no better selection of a secretary and treasurer. Brother Thomas is an efficient bookkeeper and has a sufficient amount of faithfulness to push this departments to success. Let every member rally loyalty for the next year, especially in meeting their obligations to the endowment department. As Masons, let us be loyal. The building of the Widows' and Orphans' Home, is badly'in need of painting. The brethren saw the great need of this at the last Grand Lodge communication, thereby a unanimous vote of the Grand Lodge each lodge was requested to forward to the Grand Secretary immediately two dollars for this purpose. The Grand Secretary has already received this amount from Oak City Lodge at Burbridge and Eureka Lodge, Savannah. Now let the other lodges follow the lead of these lodges as soon as possible so that we can improve our building. The Grand Secretary is hard at work preparing his minutes for the printer. If there is no disappointment by the latter he hopes to have them distributed by August. Lodges that have failed to forward returns are urged to do so at once if they are desirous of having same appear in the minutes. Worshipful Masters must learn one thing, especially, and that is to begin meetings on time, and adjourn early. By doing so, especially in this hot season, it will be the means of a larger attendance and the brethren will take more pleasure in attending. The. indiscriminate conferring of degrees should not be done. In the rural districts -where the lodges have but one meeting a month, this may be permissible, but not where a lodge has two meetings during the month. The old custom which must be adhered to is to have the first meeting for business only and the second meeting for lecture or "work." No "work" should be allowed at the first meeting, and at the second meeting no business transacted other than the collection of dues, lecture or "work." Worshipful Masters, stick to the old custom, and by all means shorten your meetings. The Grand Chapter O. E. S, meets in Americus on Tuesday, August 20th. This is expected to be a grand session. Each chapter in the state will be represented and the Grand Officers hope to report the formation of many new chapters. Mrs. Viola E. Hart, Royal Grand Matron, is a hard worker among the chapters, and she is beloved by all of the members. The Masons are the toast of the state on account of the great amount of harmony that exists at their Grand Lodge communication. There is no wonder about this because, we have a high-toned Christian gentleman and able Mason as our leader, supported by officers who have instilled that true Masonic principle. Let us keep it up. Past Grand - Master DeVeaux continues ill at his home. All of the brethren love him. The way to judge eof a man's ideals is to study what he imitates.
