Police Called to Eject Ladies From the Galleries-Filibustering by Opponents Blocked Vote-Wright and Hall Engage in Fist Fight-Pandemonium Reigned Supreme for a Time. VOL. XXII: DISGRACEFUL Marked Prohibition House of Rep Police Called to Eject Ladies tering by Opponents Blo Hall Engage in Fist L Reigned Suprem After thirteen hours and fifty-three minutes of fruilless argument and succeeding roll calls, the Georgia house of representatives adjourned in an uproar at 10:53 o'clock Wednesday night without ever having touched senate bill No. 1, the Hardman prohibition measure, to defeat consideration of which the forty odd an. is successfully filibustered from the opening of the all-day session at nine p'clock. With one hundred and forty members of the house admittedly in favor of the Hardman bill, the forty opponents maneuvered so skillfully as to prevent any action. Every method of filbustering known to parliamentarians was brought into action; the game was well played. Though the antis had it their way all day long, with the shades of evening the prohibitionists came in for their inning. It was the motion of Dr. Whitley to suspend all the rules, introduced about 8:30 in the evening, that gave the prohis their chance to continue the discussion. Up to this time there had been the best of feeling. At 10:30 p. m., pandemonium broke loose in the galleries and on the floor, which necessitated the police reserves being called out to clear the gallery, following an impassioned address of Mr. Wright, of Floyd, to the prohibitionists not to be a party to further filibustering tacies. It was this speech which Mr. Hall of Bibb later charged was the cause of the riot in the gallery, that brought the lie from Mr. Wright, and precipitated a fight on the floor of the house. Never in the history of the general assembly of Georgia has there been witnessed such scenes as were precipitated following the speech of Mr. Wright. Women hissed, men yelled and cursed, the galeries called to the speaker to come into the gallery and he would be thrown over the banisters. A fist fight between Mr. Hall of Bibb and Mr. Wright of Floyd occurred on the floor at 10:45 o'clock, following the statement of Mr. Wright that the "gentleman from Bibb is a liar," turned the house into bedlam, which the city police reserves were called out to quell. Immediately upon restoration of order the house, by unanimous consent, adjourned at 11 o'clock, after a fourteen-hour session to meet again Thursday morning at 9 o'clock. The scenes which were enacted on the floor of the house during the last hour of the session have been declared by the oldest legislators to have been the most disgraceful ever witnessed in the state capitol. For twenty minutes the capitol resounded with the howls and cries of the crowd, which thronged the corridors and overran the capitol square, following the clearance of the house galeries. Mr. Hall had refrained from participating in the filibustering all day and had vroted with the prohibitionists. It is believed that serious trouble would also have resulted between the friends of Messrs. Hall and Wright had not the police put in their appearance when they die The scene which preceded the remarkable demonstration in the galleries was one which will never be forgotten in the annals of Georgia legislative history. The filibusterers injected a bit of humor into the house by inserting funny stories and speeches into their three-minute talks explaining their votes. It was at the close of a roll call during which a great deal of levity had been indulged in by the filibusterers that Mr. Wright made his first explanatory speech. He said: I felt deeply the humiliation this day, as must every member of this house. Is it possible that the speaker is as helpless as a child? Is it possible that we must sit here with our hands tied so that we cannot do a thing, even though we are in the majority? I for one say here tonight that it is with a feeling of intense and shameless humiliation that I must submit to such proceedings. This is all that I care to say." As he concluded, the pent-up feelings of the gallery broke loose and a mighty and concerted shout went up from that body. It was caught up by the members of the house on the floor of that body and sent back to the ceiling. The speaker rapped sharply for order and declared: "The doo-keepers will clear the gallery." The galery was sullen and did not want to move. The men and women sat still and kisses began to pour forth. The speaker rapped again for order and shouted, "the sergeant at arms will go into the gallery and arrest all who refuse to leave the hall, and bring them to the bar of the house for punishment. Still the gallery cheered and it was at this time that Mr. Hines of Baldwin charged Mr. Wright of Floyd with being the cause of the riotous scenes enacted. Strong members of the house volunteered to aid the doorkeepers in clearing the galery if the speaker would delegate them such power. He declined to do so. Mr. Wright of Floyd went up to the speaker's desk and said "I'll speak to them," meaning the gallery. "I do not need your help," replied the speaker, never missing a rap with his gavel. The crowd still lingered, hissed and shouted, though the stream of humanity was beginning to pour out. It did not move with the speed possible and the police station was called and reserves asked to be rushed to the capitol to aid the doorkeepers in clearing the gallery. The galleries were finally clear, the doors locked and not until complete order was restored and quiet was had in the house would the speaker recognize any one. As soon as quiet was restored, Mr. Hall of Bibb addressed the chair and said: "Mr. Speaker, I rise to that highest privilege extended by the house—that of personal privilege. We are tonight in the midst of anarchy. What surprises me beyond measure is that those people who through courtesy came here to occupy the galleries in the name of temperance, religion and the home should have enacted such a scene here tonight as has never before been seen in the hall of the house of representatives. Listen at their conduct now. From without could be heard the hisses, shouts and cries of the excluded occupants of the gallery.) Isn't their conduct enough to cause us to pause and consider this question thoughtfully? "If this is the temper of the prohibitionists, what have we to expect if we give them this prohibition legislation." At this point, Mr. Wright of Floyd, who was sitting nearby, arose and shouted at Mr. Hall: "Mr. Speaker, we resent the words and insinuations of the gentleman from Bibb." Mr. Hall continued: "After the scene the gentleman from Floyd has caused here I am surprised that he has again raised his voice on this subject in this assembly tonight." "In the name of God Almighty I do raise it here and now, and," said Mr. Wright—the rest was lost in applause from the prohibitionists in the house. "Well," the gentleman from Floyd is no longer worthy to occupy his seat in the house," continued Mr. Hall. "You are a llar, sin," heoured Mr. Wright, with his eyes blazing, his fast clinched and starting towards Mr. Hall. No sooner were the words out of his mouth than Mr. Hall was half way across the dividing space, and in a twinkling blows had been exchanged. The combatants were quickly separated, and each led to his seat. Following the storm there came a deathlike calm after order had been finally restored. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. JULY 27. 1907. JUDGE VOIDS NEW LAW. Pritchard Knocks Out Penalty Clauses In North Carolina Rate Statute Warns Officials. The penalty, clause of the new North Carolina state rate bill was declared unconstitutional and void by United States Judge Pritchard at Asheville, N. C., Monday. James H. Wood, district passenger agent of the Southern, and C. Wilson, the ticket agent of the same road, who were recently sentenced to thirty days on the chaiang for violation of the new law, were discharged on habeas corpus proceedings. In his decision Judge Pritchard said that the penalties inflicted by the statute would close the doors to a judicial hearing and would amount to $2,500,000 a day if the penalty was enforced on the sale of each ticket, which is eight times more than the amount involved in the original suit. Also that it would do violence to the comity which exists between the state and federal courts. While not imputing any improper motives to officials or state courts, Judge Pritchard remarked that if such a course of conduct was permitted to be pursued it would have the effect of defeating the jurisdiction of the United States court. Continuing, Judge Pritchard said: "It will be a sad day for the people of North Carolina when its citizens are prohibited by acts of the legislature from securing any rights guaranteed to them by the constitution of the United States. Suits of this character have been brought in different states of the union and in every instance federal courts have proceeded to determine questions involved without interference, hindrance or delay by legislative or judicial authorities of such states. "The equal protection of the law is guaranteed to every citizen of the United States, and I shall employ all means within the power of the court to seconde to all persons who may invoke jurisdiction of this court such rights to the fairest extent of the law. If the law is construed in a spirit of fairness and impartiality there can be no conflict of jurisdiction between the state courts and the courts of the United States. "In this instance the federal court has not been the aggressor, but has simply adopted the regular practice and procedure which has been approved by the supreme court of the United States in a case of like nature, and while the court is not inclined to do anything that will produce an unseamly conflict, nevertheless it is incumbent upon it to protect the rights of the parties to this controversy and the dignity and authority of this court. This cannot be accomplished without preserving to the fullest extent the jurisdiction of the court in determining the question which has been submitted to it for consideration. "The court is confronted with open and arowed opposition by the powers of the state. The penalties prescribed by the state statute for charging more than the statutory rates are so erroneous that if permitted to be enforced they would practically bankrupt the railroads in an exceedingly brief time, and before a final hearing could be had in the case, and thus place the complainant in a position where it would be powerless to assert the rights guaranteed to it by the constitution of the United States." Many think the state authorities will take some action in the direction of more penalty suits. President Finley, General Counsel Tham and other officials of the Sotuhern-railway are awaiting the next move. After Judge Pritchard had signed the judgment, Judge J. H. Merrimon, special counsel for the state, gave notice of appeal and waived bonds, but under the law the court fixed a bond of $200 each for Wood and Wilson. Both sides co-operated to make the appeal as simple as possible in order to present the point at issue to the supreme court. William Jennings Bryan does not favor government ownership as a paramount issue in the next campaign. He believes first in rigid regulation and urges the states to stand fast for their rights in curbing of the corporations and to leave regulation solely in the hands of the federal government. This, he says, is the current issue of his paper, The Commoner. AN OCEAN HORROR Steamship Goes Down in Crash With a Schooner. Of 249 Souls on Board Only 144 Are So. Far Known to Have Escaped. A San Francisco special says: In a collision between the passenger steamtr Columbia and the steam schooner San Pedro off the Mendocino coast, one hundred passengers lost their lives early Sunday morning. The Columbia was sunk and lies completely submerged in the deep waters of Shelter cove. The collision occurred at midnight, when all on board save the lookout and officer on the bridge were asleep in their berths. The Columbia was steaming north at an easy rate, having left San Francisco at noon. Suddenly out of the fog loomed the dark hulk of the steam schooner San Pedro, southbound, which was evidently out of her course. Whistles were blown and frantic efforts made by the helmsman of each vessel to avoid the collision, but without avail. The San Pedro struck the Columbia in the port bow, tearing an immense hole in her side through which the water rushed in great volume. Alarms were sounded on the passenger ship and the terrified passengers scrambled from their staterooms in an effort to escape from the doomed vessel. But the time was too short to aid the lifesavers. The vessel sank within five minutes of the time of the collision. A life raft was launched with a number of passengers on board, but only a few of the entire number aboard were saved. Of the 249 persons on the steamer Columbia, one hundred and forty-four were landed at Eureka, Cal., Monday by the steamer Elder. Of these 107 were passengers and 37 members of the crew of the Columbia. In addition to these four life boats are reported to have been picked up, one containing thirteen people, one 18, and one 15. The number on the fourth boat is not given. Nearly all of the Columbia's passengers and many of her crew were asleep in their cabins and bunks when the crash came. As the San Pedro backed away the sea poured in through the ragged hole in the Columbia's bow above the water line, and in five minutes the Columbia sank to the bottom, the deep waters of Shelter Cove covering even the tops of the Columbia's masts. The story of that five minutes is yet to be told, and as it is to be told by some survivors, only the facts of the tragedy can be guessed at. According to J. S. Flynn, a passenger on the Roanoke, Captain Doran of the Columbia succeeded in launching four life boats and two rafts before the Columbia sank. Flynn, in an interview, is quoted as saying that 88 passengers, all men, got away in that manner, and were saved; that Captain Doran acted with great coolness in the face of death, and went down with his ship. Flynn is further quoted as saying that none of the hundred odd women were saved. Shortly after the collision the steamers Roanoke and George W. Elder and the steam schooner Daisy Mitchell, all southbound, came to the scene and stood by. The Elder took the San Pedro in tow and the last report announces their arrival in Eureka. The stem of the San Pedro was smashed to splinters, one of her masts was snapped at the deck, and she was settling and had a heavy list when taken in tow. ALL WERE MISTAKEN. Whole Crew of Death-Dealing Freight Train Misread Their Orders. General Superintendent Trump of the Pere Marquette railroad, has made public the following result of his examination of Conductor Hamilton of the local freight train, which collided with the Ionia excursion train, causing the loss of thirty-two lives and injuring over a hundred. The conductor stated that he, the engineer, fireman and rear brakeman, all misread their orders. POSED AS WHITE GIRL. A Chicago dispatch says: It has been the fortune of Cecilia Johnson,sister of "Mush-Mouth" Johnson, the negro gambling king, whose illicit traffic has been the despair of the city's reform element, to furnish the greatest sensation ever uncovered in the University of Chicago. As a leader of society in the Rockefeller school and a member of one of the most exclusive societies, she posed, for more than three years as a white girl and won her way to the top of the "varsity social leader." Cecilia Johnson has ben a student in the university for five years, and her social triumphs extended over the greater part of that period. Her card was always the first to be filled in the numerous dances of the university students, and her company was sought after by all the young bloods of the institution. The discovery that she is the sister of "Mush-Mou:h" JJohnson was made scarcely a month ago, and since that time she has ben dead to the exclusive society. The discovery came as a blow to the co-eds and men students allike who had never suspected such a contingency. The young negress lives with her mother and brother at No. 4830 Wabash avenue, a large two-story brick house, loaded with luxurious furnishings. The co-eds tell stories of wonderful mirrors, gold chairs and valuable paintings by old masters which adorn the reception rooms and the front hall. The lower front windows are barred and the back windows and doors are guarded by immense iron shutters and padlocks to prevent thieves from carrying off the costly decorations and plate. The university co-eds claim in self-defense for their aparent haste in taking the girl to their hearts that she never would have been recognized as any other than an American of good family, owing to her light complexion. Her second year in the university she was elected president of Englewood House, one of the exclusive girl clubs. One of the Phi Delta Phi society girls declared that Cecilia Johnson had no claim to membership in the order, even though she had been a charter member of the society. "We all liked her very much until we found out that she had deceived us," said this young woman. "Now she will have to take the consequence." HARGIS FREE AT LAST. Final Case Against Noted Feudist Ends In Acquittal. At Sandy Hook, Ky., Saturday morning, Judge Moody instructed the jury in the case of James Hargis, on trial for complicity in the assassination of Dr. B. D. Cox, to acquit the prisoner. This is the last case against Hargis for complicity in the assassination of Dr. B. D. Cox, to acquit the prisoner. This is the last case against Hargis for alleged complicity in the Breathitt county crimes and Hargis walked from the court a free man. PRINTERS' UNION LIABLE. Court Awards $3,500 Damages to an Expelled Member. The United States court at Seattle, Wash., has ordered the Seattle printers' union to pay $3,500 to an expelled member. The court decrees that a labor union, even though not incorporated, is liable in damages for its acts as a partnership. The avowed purpose of non-incorporating by the labor unions, the court holds, is to avoid the liability of an incomparted organization. COBB RESIGNS JUDGESHIP. Member of Georgia Supreme Court Tires of His Job. Associate Justice Andrew J. Cobb of the Georgia supreme court, Monday morning presented to Governor Hoke Smith, his resignation to take effect on October 12, 1907. Justice Cobb determined several weeks ago to retire from the supreme bench, to re-engage in the practice of law at Attens. Justice Cob, when he retires in October, will have served on the supreme bench for nearly eleven years. FARMERS CONVENE Georgia Division of Union Holds Forth in Atlanta. President Duckworth Calls Body to Order—Great Progress is Shown. Address by Governor Smith and Dean Soule. More than two hundred delegates to the Georgia branch of the Farmers' Union were present in Atlanta Tuesday morning when State President Duckworth called that organization to order in the Peachtree Inn assembly room. All during the morning delegates continued to arrive and when the Georgia branch convened in the afternoon in the hall of the house of representatives President Duckworth faced many representative farmers of the state. Among other members of the organization in attendance were Hon. Chas. S. Barrett, national president of the Farmers' Union; J. L. Bairon, secretary to President Duckworth; J. J. Lee, state organizer; J. G. Eubanks, business agent, and G. M. Davis, state lecturer. In calling the Georgia branch to order President Duckworth expressed his pleasure at seeing so many representative members of the organization present. He spoke briefly of the great growth the state and the national organizations had shown during the year, and, deferring his annual address to a later session, declared the house ready to proceed with business. A committee upon credentials was named, and upon that committee J. R. Campbell of Barow, Z. R. Taylor of Dodge and U. S. Foster of Glimer were placed, and, while the committee was at work, G. M. Davis of Floyd, business lecturer, was named as a press committee, with full power to equip members of the press with such matters as it was thought best to give out for publication. Addresses were made by W. C. Bryan of Coffee and S. E. Leigh of Coweta. A resolution was passed inviting Governor Hoke Smith and Dean Soule to address the members of the union at the state house during the evening, the speaking to begin at 8 o'clock. During the afternoon Dean Soule of the state university, talked on education and agriculture, and advocated the establishment of colleges and schools in which agriculture should be the cardinal point. The various officers submitted reports, and cach of these showed that the union was growing. The hall of the house of representatives was well filled at the meeting at night, when Delegate Leigh of Cowcta arose to introduce Governor Hoke Smith to the members of the union. The governor opened by declaring his pleasure at seeing so many good citizens before him. He referred to the recent campaign, declaring that he was earnest in his desires to carry out every promise he had made as he had been when he addressed the people over the state. He reviewed many of those promises and asserted that their redemption had practically been begun. He expressed great confidence in the legislature now in session and paid a high compliment to that body. He felt sure that the free pass evil was practically a thing of the past, and asserted that the railroads would have to return their property at a correct valuation. He congratulated the farmer upon his condition of prosperity and made a plea for better schools, declaring that it was the one greatest need of the present. He touched upon the school teachers' salary and spoke of the deficit in their money. "ANTIQUATED AND LUXURIOUS." Annual Chicago Labor Day Parades Are Relegated to Oblivion. Chicago has had the last of its labor day parades, at least for several years to come. The annual long march through the streets by thousands of unionists wearing the picturesque uniforms of their trades, was abandoned by the Federation of Labor and the Associated Building Trades at a meeting Sunday as being an "antiquated and luxurious method of displaying labor's strength before the public.

"Nor do men light a candle and put it under a bushel"—Matt. 5:15. Your candle is so small, so small, It makes scarce any light; The feeble word you may let fall, Has neither strength nor might? And there be many great ones Who outshine you by far, As do the sky-illumining suns Outgrow the farthest star? He who holds up his little flame Knows not what straining eyes May find it guiding them from shame into a paradise: 'All may not climb the lofty steep, All may not lead the throng, But each may shelter and may keep aglow some word or song. We know not how our candle gleams, It may be scioned in gold, Or it may send its cheering gleams From some cup worn and old. 'Ah that which fate has held apart From always and grand, May glow through light which finds a heart Attuned to understand. The little word, the little smile, The little song you know— These make the candle all the while That we must keep aglow. 'Ah that which trembling light Unnoticed by all eyes, But there is greater dark of night When that lone candle dies. —W. D. Nesbit, in St. Louis Republic. LANOOK AND THE BEAR By HERBERT COOLIDGE. To the east of Mount Shasta lies the country that was once Lanook's. There in the days of his youth he chased deer and antelope and led his people against the marauding Moods. The valleys are all fenced and farmed now, and Lanook in many respects is "all same white man." But he loves the old wild Indian days, loves to roam again in the land of youth and strength and achievement. The old man was a daily visitor when I lived in the country that once was his, and time and time again he would bare his forearm and knee, show me the deep, livid scars of a grizzly's teeth, and tell me the following story. Long before the whites came he and Nishka, now many years dead, were returning from Pitt River with a big catch of salmon strung on a pole carried on their shoulders. Nishka walked ahead. Before them ran Lanook's little dog, clearing the path of chipmunks and squirrels. As they descended a slope which overlooks Fall Valley, they heard the little dog yelp as if in great fear, and saw him burst from a manzanita thicket. He was pursued by a giant grizzly bear. Nishka fled. Lanook scrambled up the nearest tree, a scrubby juniper. The bear followed the dog straight for the master's perch, until, catching sight of Nishka's buckskin garments fitting through the brush, he turned and gave him chase. Lanook, with breath held and eyes bulging, watched his friend's flight. He was racing like the wind, but it was as if a toddling baby should attempt to outrun his father. The great slouching brute gained as if the fleet Indian had been hobbled; in almost no time he was close upon him. The poor fellow, in despair, dodged, barely escaped the beast's claws, and made a dive into a laurel thicket. The bear crashed after—then all was silent. The silence awoke Lanook. He leaped from his tree, gathered up the bow he had thrown aside before climbing, and ran to Nishka's rescue. The bear must have heard the rush of moccasins on the trall, for as Lanook drew within close arrow-range, the grizzly emerged from the thicket and reared on his haunches, baring teeth that were dripping blood. Lanook greeted him with two arrows, then fled for his tree. The bear, wounded and furious, chased him as he had chased his friend, with the fearful speed no man could equal. Nevertheless, the Indian reached his Juniper and ran up it like a chipmunk, this time retaining his hold on his bow. In a pouch hung from his neck Lanook carried poison made, from black spiders, the fang-sacs of a rattlesnake and juice of wild parsnips; and while the grizzly pursued the howling cur round the tree, he tipped three arrows with this death-dealing ointment. The juniper which Lanook hok climbed was the first tree at hard—not at all the one he would have chosen to escape a grizzly. Stout branches projected from the very ground; besides, the tree tapered abruptly, and was not very tall. Round and round it raced the dog. Finally he made a quick dash, darted into a big patch of deer brush, and there succeeded in eluding his pursuer. Soon the grizzly came back to the tree, squatted on his haunches, and sat fiercely watching the Indian. Then, his breath recovered, he stood upright on his hind legs, and stretched a terrible, claw-horned paw upward. And how he did stretch! Lanook said it was as if the animal's limbs pulled out a hand's length at each joint. He climbed till he feared the tapering treeop would break. The bear soon gave up the reaching idea and began to climb. In this he was as awkward as he had been agile in the chase; but with the lower branches affording support for hind and forepaws, it seemed likely that he could work his way upward. The great weight of the brute made the little tree bend alarmingly, and when he, wrigled and hitched, both of which he did very violently, Lanook felt like an ant on a spear of grass whipped by the wind. Hope left the Indian; in its place came desperate resolution. He descended as far as he dared, fitted one of the poisoned arrow to his bow, and watted. The bear ceased his struggles a moment, and threw back his head to look upward. Quick as the snake strikes, Lanook buried one arrow, then another, in his shaggy breast. The tree lurched so then from the bear's furious climbing that the third arrow flew wide of the mark, and splintered itself on the stony ground. Lanook dropped his bow, gave a flying leap, and ran, still without hope, for his life. He surprised himself with his running, and the bear surprised him with his awkwardness in getting disentangled from the tree. Lanook was a long way down the slope and buoyant with hope before the chase began. Filled with new strength, he sped onward like a bird. The ravine he had chosen for a runway was smooth-bottomed and clear of brush; the descent was gentle---just right for a long, sweeping stride. And yet the grizzly gained, at first by leaps and bounds, as a rolling rock bears down on one embedded; then he came on with lessened speed, but still gaining. When he was close behind, Lanook's second wind came, and he began to pull away from the bear rapidly. He knew then that the poison from his arrow-tips was working in the blood of his enemy, and hope grew strong within him. Had his runway remained clear, Lanook could have escaped easily, but fortune favored the bear. For the ravine suddenly became blocked with brush, and the Indian narrowly escaped being caught in a corner. As it was, the bear was crowding him close before he could get out of the gully. Here the brush was thinner, but he had to take a winding course to avoid bushes and thickets, while his pursuer crashed straight through or over everything. The bear was at his beels in no-time, and Lanook, to protect his head and chest from the beast's claws, threw himself on his back and kicked out with both feet. The grizzly seemed stupid and sluggish, but nevertheless made a savage dive at the Indian, and buried his teeth in his leg just above the knee. Lanook began throwing dirt into the enemy's face, whereupon the grizzly released his leg and caught him by the forearm. Still undaunted, the Indian sent a handful of dust and fine gravel fairly into the brute's eyes. Half-blinded, the bear backed away, pawing his eyes furiously, Lanook filled his fist with dirt, and lay motionless, waiting. But the bear never returned to him. He continued backing about and rubbing his eyes, and finally retreated into the thick brush, scratched a shallow hole there, and lay down. There he was found the next day by Lanook's tribesmen, stone-dead. Lanook managed to drag himself back to the trail, where he was shortly discovered by another party of fishermen, and carried home. Nishka was found and cared for also. He had felged death throughout the bear's attack, and although crippled, lived to tell his children's children of Lanook, his friend and rescuer, and of his battle with the giant grizzly bear.—From Youth's Companion. HE'S THE WHOLE CREW. Skipper Hall the Cook and the Mate and the Bo's n Bold of the Angler. Captain Parker J. Hall, of Nautucket, skipper of the two masted schooner Angler, is his own mate, steward and crew. His stated reasons for it are not that he is moody or fond of his own company, or that it is more economical, but simply that, because of an impediment in his speech, he feels that he can think out and execute his own orders more rapidly than any crew could understand him if he tried to talk. Captain Hull is a native of Duxbury, Mass., but his home is his schooner, and on board her his young wife goes about her housekeeping duties just the same as she would it an ivy grown cottage. The Angler herself is no chicken, says the Boston Herald. She was built in 1854 and her owner found her an abandoned hulk, half buried in the sand. He bought her for next to nothing, fitted her, with second hand spars and began to make a living and a name for himself in the coastwise trade. His brother, mariners find fault with him for recklessness, on the ground that his holding irons are not big enough. Skipper Hall is forced to put up with anchors much lighter than those of the average craft of the Angler's build carries, because it would be impossible for any one man to raise the heavy kind unadled. He recently made a record run across the Sound under full sail and came up into anchorage in fine shape, before the admiring gaze of half the town. To enter the harbor Skipper Hall had to make a run through the heavy ice between the jetties at the bar. The drift of open water was very narrow, and the revenue cutter Gresham ran down to see if she could be of any possible assistance. The crew of the Gresham are talking yet of the surprise their captain got when he saw one man bringing a two masted schooner through the narrow drift. WILL HE GET BY? JAPAN JIMEOHN PACIFIC COAST K.L. Russell —Cartoon by K.L. Russell, in the Washington Post. Navy Department Decides to Send Only Our Newest Warships to the Pacific Fifty Fighting Vessels, Large and Small, Will Be in Sight of San Francisco by January First. THE CRIME OF JINGOISM. Washington, D.C.-Two important decisions have been reached by the Navy Department concerning the announced program for the dispatch of the Atlantic fleet to the Pacific-first, only the newest and most modern ships will be sent, and, secondly, the average of captains of the ships will be reduced from three to five years. In addition it is planned to send along a flotilla of torpedo boat destroyers. It is figured here that, without the ships now on the Asiatic station, there will be thirty-two warships in sight of San Francisco by January 1. This number will include the torpedo boat destroyers. It also is proposed to bring over the Asiatic forces. Those which are considered real fighting craft are the four armored cruisers, West, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Colorado, and the monitors Monterey and Monadnock. These, added, will give a total of thirty-eight. It also is probable that when the plans for the greatest of all navy reviews are perfected even the smaller cruisers and the gunboats will come over from Asia, and the total force will amount to fifty fighting vessels, great and small. Announcement was made at the Navy Department that the proposed voyage of the battleship fleet to the Pacific would in no way interfere with the plan already arranged for the summer maneuvers of the Atlantic fleet. The decision has been made that Rear-Admiral Evans, commanding the fleet, shall assemble his vessels for midsummer operations at some point on the New England coast on August 25. The place has not yet been determined, as there is no great haste in the matter. In the meantime the ships which may need repairs will be docked and put in conditions. Repairs are being rushed to the Connecticut, which is Admiral Evans' flagship, but this is being done so that other ships may be sent to the Brooklyn yard for special work upon them as may be necessary and for the further reason that the ship has not completed her formal trials. The plan of docking the vessels for repairs was mapped out months ago and is now being carried out without regard to the intended movement of the fleet to the Pacific. These repairs would have been made had there been no decision reached for the movement to the Pacific. The New England maneuvers will be completed some time in October. New York City.—The population of Japan is less than 48,000,000. The population of the United States is nearly 85,000,000. The debt of Japan—taking the Statesman's Year-Book figures throughout to $^2$insure uniformity of comparison—is about $935,000,000. The net debt of the United States is $964,355,657. Japan is paying from four to six per cent. interest on its foreign loans and from five to seven per cent, on its internal loans. One-fourth of the debt of the United States is at four per cent, and the rest at two and three per cent. Japan's revenue is less than $250- 000,000, while the revenue of the United States is $762,000,000. Japan's total imports and exports for the year 1905-1906 were only $420- 000,000 while those, of the United States were nearly $3,000,000,000.

The proposition to send the fleet to the Pacific at an early date, that is, this summer, has not been considered and will not be considered unless there is danger of an immediate outbreak of hostilities on the part of Japan, which officers do not believe is at all likely. Much greater difficulty would be experienced in getting the big ships around to the Pacific now than five or six months later. The South Atlantic is now in midwinter, the weather is unfavorable and much danger might be encountered. Besides that, it is argued, there is no pressing need for their presence there at this time. Whatever good effect may be had by sending the ships there, it is contended, will be produced by the announcement of the decision that they are to go later. Of course, if there should be an outbreak on the part of Japan the plan to delay the sending of the ships until next winter would be changed immediately. The impression, however, which officers sock to convey is that the fleet is not to be sent to the Pacific as a menace to Japan or because there is any danger of war, which is scouted, but rather to demonstrate our ability to make a dash around the Horn in the event of an emergency. Whether or not the ships will be brought back to the Atlantic is a matter for determination after further developments. Next December will be midsummer in the South Atlantic and conditions will then be favorable for the long cruise. In some naval quarters the opinion is held still that the battleship fleet will never go to the Pacific, and the impression is given that the proposition is largely bluff for the purpose of showing Japan what we would do in case it became necessary to have a large fleet in Pacific waters. These same officers believe that it would be a dangerous thing to leave the Atlantic coast unprotected, as it would be in the event of the withdrawal of the entire battleship fleet. At the same time they point out that the transfer of the fleet to the Pacific and the abandonment of the Atlantic coast would be an argument for a large increase in the navy and the building of a corresponding battleship fleet for the Atlantic, in order that the country might be adequately protected in both oceans. ern American battleships Japan has only ten. Against our eight first-class and five second-class armored cruisers Japan has nine. Against our nineteen protected cruisers Japan has seventeen. In effective fighting force the American superiority is vastly preponderant. This fact is known to every Japanese statesman and to every intelligent Japanese citizen. Yet American jingoes are asking us to believe that Japan, in some fashion or another, is secretly menacing the peace of the United States. The plain and obvious truth is that Japan is exhausted financially, that her population is struggling under burdens imposed by the war with Russia, and that her resources are so far inferior to those of the United States that no responsible Japanese statesman would think of war except as a last resort.

Place it where the dog can get it and he will seldom want another. Use. of Lime. Can you explain the use of lime? Does it burn out humus in the soil or does it only free potash and phosphoric acid, in which case it would not be injurious, as the elements freed would be appropriated by plant life? J. E. B. R., Renovo, Pa. Answer: —Lime performs a valuable service to plant growth by rendering the potash of the soil more available. It prevents the soluble phosphoric acid in fertilizers from forming a base with iron or alumina, which is undesirable because phosphates of iron and alumina are insoluble. Lime also promotes the decomposition of organic substances—humus, sod, etc. It hastens the change of ammonia into nitric acid, and sweetens the soil. —The Country Gentleman. Age Limits of Dairy Cows. A bulletin from the Wisconsin Station states that a cow is at her best during her fifth and sixth years, up to which time the production of milk and butter fat by cows in normal condition increases each year. The length of time the cow will maintain her maximum production depends on her constitution, strength and the care with which she is fed and managed. A good dairy cow should not show any marked falling off until after ten years of age. Many excellent records have been made by cows older than this. The quality of the milk produced by helpers is somewhat better than that of older cows, for a decrease has been noted of one to two-tenths of one per cent. In the average fat content for each year until the cows have reached the full age. This is caused by the increase in the weight of the cows with advancing age. At any rate, there seems to be a parallelism between the two sets of figures for the same cows. Young animals use a portion of their food for the formation of body tissue, and it is to be expected, therefore, that helpers will require a larger portion of nutrients for the production of milk or butter fat than do other cows. After a certain age has been reached, on the average seven years of age, the food required for the production of a unit of milk or butter fat again increases, both as regards dry matter and the digestible components of the food. A good milch cow of exceptional strength, kept under favorable conditions, whose digestive system has not been impaired by overfeeding or crowding for high results, should continue to be a profitable producer till her twelfth year, although the economy of her production is apt to be somewhat reduced before this age is reached. Only Farmers Trust in Providence. Only Farmers Trust in Providence. Farmers are the only people who put all their trust in Providence. The farmer not only trusts Providence for the rain and the sunshine, but also for the price he is to get. If there is no rain in Russia and a drought in the Argentine Republic while there is plenty of it in North America, the farmer of this country harvests a big crop and gets a good harvest. If there is drought in North America and not much rain in Russia the farmer here gets a fair price for what little he has, but if Providence favors him with plenty of rain all over the earth he hardly makes enough-to pay for the seed he plants, because the bulls and the bears of commerce eat up all of his profits. They bet millions of dollars that the price will be only fifty cents when natural causes would let it go to a dollar, because it is worth that to raise it and to ship it to the places of distribution in the United States. Yes, the farmers trust to Providence; but not so with the millers nor with the shippers. They know, that the Lord helps him who helps himself, and they know how to do that to the queen's taste. In fact, everybody helps himself but the farmer. He tries to follow out the Bible doctrine: If a man steals your coat give him your pants, also. Some farmers do that, but others are learning better. The farmers who are organized in the American Society of Equity mean to give the speculators a race for their money. They propose to set the price on whatever they produce and to get that price, if they have to hold the surplus until there is a demand. They, are going to act the part of Joseph and save up during the fat years and during the fat months and the fat days for the years, and the months and the days of leanness.—Farmers' Home Journal. Fertilizer For Corn. It is the opinion of many farmers that commercial fertilizer does not pay when applied to the corn crop. It is true that it does not when applied as many apply it. In order that commercial fertilizer may be made to yield a profit on the corn crop the soil should be well prepared and well supplied with vegetable humus. The commercial fertilizer should be used to balance the plant food in the soil, and since stable --- manure is most deficient in phosphoric acid, it is often a good plan to apply a moderate application of superphosphate to land 'where the stable manure is applied, or where a sod is turned for corn. The fertilizer should be distributed all through the soil rather than applied to the hill in order to encourage the roots to branch out all through the soil in search of food. A few years ago I saw an old field which had laid out for years and had grown nothing but broom sedge. It was regarded as worn out. The broom sedge was turned and 200 pounds per acre of a good grade superphosphate drilled in with a common drill. The field was put to corn and grew a very good crop of corn. In this part of the country almost any old sod field when well prepared will bring a pretty good crop of corn with an application of a phosphate only. If the fertilizer is depended on to grow the crop from year to year it will soon cease to respond to such fertilization, but the proper plan to pursue it is to get such lands to grass or clover as soon as possible and get something to supply vegetable matter to the soil. By using the phosphate in connection with the stable manure the manure can be made to go farther and both being used together they will give better returns than when they are used separately.—A. J. Legg, in The Epitonist. Feeding and Milk. The fact that proper feed and good care do make a difference in the amount of milk which a cow will give is shown by the following, from the Modern Farmer: Here is an illustration of the influence of proper feeding and good care, and perhaps, proper milking. The editor of the Modern Farmer bought out of a dairy herd a young Jersey that had been giving milk nearly a year, first calf. She was giving less than two quarts of milk at a milking when she came to us and had been sold because it did not pay to milk her. She was very thin and dirty, but very gentle and kindly disposed. We put her on good alfalfa hay and what we thought to be the proper feed, used the currycomb freely, treated her kindly, milked her regularly and properly. She is now giving two and one-half gallons of milk per day, and from all indications she has not yet reached the limit. Of course, all dairy cows would not respond in this way in so short a time, about one month, but many of them would, and those which would not are not profitable cows to keep. This heifer was probably costing the party who had her as much to keep her as it is costing the editor of the Modern Farmer, but she was not being fed on the right kind of feed, ear corn and timothy hay, to produce milk. Perhaps the treatment and method of milking had, also, something to do with it, but we do not know anything about this. We substituted alfalfa for the timothy, and ground corn for ear corn, mixed with a little bran, and pushed her as fast as we thought safe, with the result mentioned above. We will leave our readers to draw their own conclusions from our statement of facts. Keeping Youngs Folks on Farm. For some time past the drift of youths to the cities and towns from our rural districts has been greatly detrimental to the welfare of those engaged in farming pursuits, hence the question. How can we keep the young people on the farm? In my opinion this question may be answered by saying: Give more attention to their environment. Make home more attractive and amusing. The reason I believe so many leave their country homes is in search of pleasure. Now, why should we not provide some luxuries for our homes, and thus save our young people from the many snares encountered in civic life? In order that we use discretion in our selection of home amusements we must first study the individual tastes, of our youth. It may be the purchase of an organ or plano may fill the bill from mother's side of the house, while the father may fulfil his duty; by the gift of some good literature, or perhaps a colt may cultivate a liking for home life. There are many things that will suggest themselves as we look this question in the face. An advanced education along agricultural lines gives us to realize the realness of our profession. The visit of a good agricultural weekly may tend to stimulate an interest for rural life. The formation of literary and other societies gives an opportunity for the development of social and literary life. The introduction of agriculture, as a study in the curriculum of our public schools would be of vital importance in the widening of views and, the development of agriculture in general. The agricultural colleges are within the reach of most of our boys and girls. Why should not the rural standard be looked up to in place of disregarded?—Florida Agriculturalist.

One of the more general measures introduced was that by Mr. Hule of Clayton, which seeks to redistrict the state, senatorially, increasing the number of senators and districts from 44, at present, to 59. Another bill of a general character is that of Mr. White of Screven, which seeks to make it a misdemeanor to give, furnish or sell to any nator in the state tobacco in any shape or form. There was no session of the senate Saturday. On Friday the solons caught up with all their work, having cleared the calendar. --- Soon after the senate was called to order Monday morning, Senator Felder sent to the clerk's desk, a petition from the Fulton County Medical Society relating to the prohibition bill before the house. The clerk began to read it before any one discovered just what it was. The president asked to see it, and when he informed the senate the nature of the document, Senator Knight arose quickly and objected to the reading of the petition. On a motion by Senator Felder that the communication be read the vote stood 12 to 12, when President Akin again asked to look at the document, for now he was called upon to decide the question. Senator Knight arose quickly, and, drawing from under his desk a large bundle about the size of a good size tub, said: "I have here more than 40,000 petitions signed by more than 40,000 people, asking for a straight prohibition law, which I shall insist on being read in case you permit that petition to be read." The president took a hasty glance at the large bundle on Mr. Knight's desk and smilingly said, "Because of the length of time which would be consumed in reading so large a number of petitions, I vote no." hence the motion of Senator Felder was lost, and the petition was not heard by the senate. Solicitors General of the several superior courts of the state will receive an annual salary of $2,650, instead of fees, which run from $5,000 to $20,000, according to the wealth of the circuit, if the report of the special judiciary committee of the house made Monday afternoon is enacted into a law. This was brought about by the favorable report given the three companion bills which were introduced by Mr. McMichael of Marion, whereby this change is to be wrought. Eighteen members of the railroad committee of the house on Monday morning filed a minority report to the report of that committee recommending that the Hal lanti-pass bill do pass, as amended. The minority report points out that the Hall measure falls to reach the evils of the free pass system, and but inadequately undertakes to deal with the prohibiting of the use of free passes by public officials. It declares that the substitute prepared by a minority of the committee and voted down in the committee rooms deals with the evils of the free pass system from a political and economical standpoint, and is in conformity with the overwhelming sentiment of the people of the state of Georgia. On the eve of passing the Hardman-Covington-Neel state prohibition bill, the majority of the house of representatives on Tuesday afternoon consumed seven kegs of beer at the annual barbecue given by Speaker John M. Slaton at the Cold Springs 'Cue Club grounds. The majority of that body is on record for putting everything with a tinge of alcohol named among its ingredients down, and the majority lived up to the reputation. For those who did not care for beer there was served a most delightful beverage in split bottles. It resembled coca-cola, looked like ginger ale, smelt like root beer, tasted like "more" and made the partaker feel like repealing the constitution of the state of Georgia. It was said to have received the endorsement of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, but those who tried it declared that the series of letters in that sentence evidently stood for "Water Can't Touch Us." That the house is anxious to revise and strengthen the laws of the state relative to all sorts of insurance was evidenced by the action of that body on Tuesday when the Barksdale resolution was passed by an overwhelming vote after several minutes of stormy debate. Under the terms of this measure which has met with the hearty sanction of the insurance men of the state, there is to be appointed a joint committee of two from the senate and three from the house, im- powered to sit during the vacation between sessions, for the purpose of investigation, taking testimony and the like, looking toward making suitable recommendations for insurance laws to be enacted a. the next session of the general assembly. Though the Felder disfranchisement bill, a companion measure to that introduced in the house by Representative Williams of Laurens, and known as the "administration bill," was the special order in the senate Tuesday, no action was taken on the subject, the senate unanimously granting the request of the author that consideration of the bill be delayed until Thursday. ON SERIOUS CHARGE Member of Governor Vardaman's Staff Is Arrested—Alleged Attempted As- Considerable excitement was stirred up in Jackson, Miss., Tuesday over reports from Kosclusko, stating that Major George L. Teat of Kosclusko, a member of Governor Vardaman's staff, and one of the best known military men in the state, had been placed under arrest in his home town, on the charge of attempting to criminally assault Miss Pressley, a beautiful young lady of that place. According to reports, Major Teat has been placed under bond in the sum of $1,060 for appearance at preliminary trial. He is a member of one of the best known families in that section of the state, a lawyer by profession and has been prominent in military and political affairs for several years. Miss Pressley is a girl of striking beauty, about twenty years of age, and a niece of one of the foremost physicians of that section. The alleged attempt took place in Major Teat's office and it is stated that the screams of the girl caused several persons in the vicinity to rush to her assistance just in time to prevent the accomplishment of the deed. Major Teat was placed under arrest a few moments later, and turned over to the custody of Sheriff J. D. Black. Indignation was high in the community for several hours, and there was some talk of spiriting the young man out of town. The local authorities had the situation well in hand, however, and prevailed on the relatives of the young lady not to do anything rash. Major Teatals well known in Jackson and has many friends at the capital, both in military circles and among members of the bar, who are reluctant to believe that he would attempt such an outrageous crime, and they can explain it only on the ground that he must have been under the influence of liquor. Ousted County Clerk is Placed Under Arrest in Lousville, Ky. William J. Semonin, retiring county clerk, was arrested in Louisville, Ky., Tuesday afternoon on a charge of embezzlement, it being stated that he is short in his accounts as clerk of Jefferson county, in a sum approximating from $45,000 to $50,000. The arrest, which was made at the instance of Mayor Bingam, caused a tremendous sensation. Mr. Semonin furnished bond in the sum of $25,000 within a short time after his arrest. Semonin was one of the officials whose office was declared vacant by the court of appeals in deciding the election contest case. He was elected as a democrat. When his successor, Phil B. Thompson, was appointed a few days ago the accounts of the office were checked up, with the result that the head bookkeeper declared that there was a shortage of over $45,000. There had been rumors of a shortage for two years, but the books of State Auditor Hager, when examined, show Semonin's accounts with the state to be correct up until June 1, 1907. When Semonin's successor was appoluted the former had just mailed a check for $15,000 to the state auditor's office for the month of June. Payment was refused by the bank on which it was drawn, and Mr. Semonin declared publicly that he had stopped payment when he found he was not to be retained in office, his idea being to have all accounts checked up and to settle in full with the state on his retirement: TO PARDON MRS. BIRDSONG. Governor Vardaman Reaches Decision After Considering Petitions. After Considering Petitions Governor Vardaman of Mississippi has given a hearing to the petitions for and against Mrs. Annie Birdsong, both sides being represented by atorneys. After the hearing was concluded the governor announced that he would pardon Mrs. Birdsong. She was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary for killing Dr. Butler, who attempted to assault her. The petition for her pardon was largely signed. Georgia Cullings Georgia Cullings Curtailed Items of Interest Gathered at Random. The matter is now in the hands of Sollicitor Lester of the Fayetteville city court and accusations have been sworn out by Mr. Haskell against those working the mules at Shepard's camp, the camp of Perkins & Powell against W. F. Neal, G. A. Barbee and Val Driscoll. --- New Railroad Chartered. The Gulf Line Railway company has been granted a charter by Secretary of State, Philip Cook. This is really a renewal and extension of the charter of the Flint River and Gulf railroad, now in operation from Hawkinsville through several of the counties named in the petition. It is proposed to operate t he Gulf Line railway through the counties of Pulaski, Wilcox, Turner, Worth, Mitchell, Grady and Decatur to a point on the Florida line in Decatur, thence through Florida to the Gulf coast. The length of the line in Georgia will be about 130 miles, and the capital stock of the company will be $400,000. * * * After Railroad Contractors. Vigorous prosecution in the courts of Fayette county against five contractors doing grading owrk on the new line of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad will be the result of a trip just made to several of these construction camps by Local Agent E. V. D. Haskell of the Atlan. a Humane Society. In some of these camps, Agent Haskell found mules being worked that were better fitted, he says, to receive bullets in their brains to end their suffering. The matter is now in the hands of Soheitor Lester of the Fayetteville city court and accusations have been sworn out by Mr. Haskell against those working the mules at Sheparu's camp, the camp of Perkins & Powell, and against W. F. Neal, G. A. Barbee and Val Discoll. * * * Matheson Approves Refinery. Dr. K. G. Matheson, president of the Georgia School of Technology, has been in conference with Mr. Boyd of Spalding in regard to the latter's bill now pending before the house appropriation committee seeking to secure from the state $10,000, to be added to a similar sum to be raised through private subscription with which to instal la cotton seed oil refinery at the Tech. He has assured Mr. Boyd of his cordial support in the measure and declared that he would do all in his power to aid him in the matter. "We have a place for the refinery at the Tech already," stated Dr. Matheson in discussing the measure. "It is the basement of our new chemical laboratory just recently erected. This place could be fitted up very, easily, and would be most accessible to our very elaborate and complete chemical laboratory. "This is one branch of the cotton business which the Tech has not touched upon. The matter of refining cotton seed oil and for that matter extracting the oil is just in its infancy and we expect great results to follow." --- Prisoner Took Care of Deputy. One of Ben Hill's deputy, sheriffs went to Macon a, few days ago to bring back a negro held in the Macon jail. The prisoner reached Fitzgerald safely on the train, bringing the deputy so drunk he did not know where to get off the train. The negro states that the Macon official turned him over to the deputy, who proceeded to take in the town, and narrowly escaped being arrested, for disorderly conduct. They succeeded in making the train for Fitzgerald, and when they reached the city the negro had the deputy, his grip, revolver, handcuffs and a quart of whiskey all in his charge. The deputy was so drunk he refused to get off the train, and had to be taken off by force by the police and was taken to jail. No one know that the negro was a prisoner until the police were putting the deputy in jail, when he touched one of the officers on the arm and sald: "Hold on, boss, I goes in there, too," and they let him go in. --- May Raise State Tax Rate. The increasing expenses of the state and the small receipts with which to meet necessary expenditures are viewed with grave consideration by the committee on appropriations in the legislature. While the appropriations for last year amounted to approximately $4,700,000, it is expected that these figures will probably reach $6,000,000 for this year—and maybe more. The state will not have any additional revenues, unless the tax rate can be raised from 4.8 mills, the present rate, to 5 mills. It is understood that this increase will be recommended by the appro- priations committee. This rate is the maximum as prescribed by law, and on account of the growing expenditures the committee will, so it is said, base their appropriations upon this increase. It is understood that this increase was recommended last year, but former Governor Terrell did not deem it expedient to advance the rate. The appropriations for pensions this year will carry with it one of the largest increases in the apportionment list, amounting to $950,000, against $90,000 last year. There was a deficit of $43,000 last year in the appropriation. Under the statute appropriations will have to be made to cover every pension that is recognized. Discrepancies in Valuations. Here are two pertinent facts bearing upon Governor Hoke Smith's mes sage to the general assembly concerning the taxation of railroads: Major A. C. Adams of the Southern swears that the tangible value of the property of his company, in Georgia, for the purpose of taxation, is $12,052,926. Freight Traffic Manager and Vice President J. M. Culp of the Southern swears in the United States court that the tangible value of the Southern in Georgia is $48,150,000. First Vice President A. R. Lawton of the Central swears that the tangible value of the Central's property in Georgia for the purpose of taxation is $13,522,677. Second Vice President W. A. Winburn swore in the United States court that the tangible value of the Central's property in Georgia is $33,666,999. In the case of the Southern, there is a discrepancy of $36,057,074 between the oaths of Major Andrews and Mr. Culp. In the case of the Central, there is a discrepancy of $20,144,322 between the oaths of First President Lawton and Second Vice President Winburn. Governor Smith has called upon the legislature to help him adjust these glaring differences. SPENT MILLION AND A HALF. Typographical, Union Turned Loose an Immense Sum During Past Year. The annual reports of the national officers of the International Typographical Union to the fifty-third session of the International, which will be held at Hot Springs, Ark., August 12-17, have been printed, and are being malled to the convention delegates. The report of the president, James M. Lynch, touches on the struggle for an eight-hour work day, and says the strike roll has been reduced comparatively to inconsequential proportions in all except a few cities. Considerable space is devoted to the efforts toward sanitary conditions and the effort to stamp out tuberculosis. Various other matters of general interest to the members of the International, including the relations between the five international unions in the printing trades, the Union Printers' Home, the apprentice problem, etc., are set forth. The report of the secretary-treasurer, J. W. Bramwood, shows that there was received during the year ended May 31, 1907, $1,804,950, and that there was expended during the same period $1,642,441. The assets of the organization as represented by the money in the various funds May 31, 1907, is given at $283,952, an increase during the year in the regular fund of $162,489. $ The report shows that the average paying membership of the last year was 42,357, a decrease of 2,623 members. It is stated, however, that "in this connection it is well to remember that for twenty months the organization has been battling for a universal eight-hour work day in all branches of the printing trade." The report shows that there were 576 local unions May 31, 1907, a decrease of 66. THREE FIGHTS; SIX KILLED. Surfeit of Blood Spilling for One Day in Tennessee, County. Six men were killed in Lake county, Tennessee, Sunday, and Blue Landing, on the Mississippi river, was the storm center of the trouble. Pat Words was shot and killed at Blue Landing in a fight with Luther Rankin. Later, at the same place, two negroes, names unknown, engaged in a pistol duel, and both were killed. At Blue Landing late in the afternoon a man named Red Dublin shot and killed a negro in a quarrel over a debt. At Ridgeley in Lake county, a man named Smith became engaged in a quarrel with a negro and knocked him down. The negro arose and knocked Smith down, when several white men came to Smith's assistance and Smith cut the negro. The negro had his wounds dressed, and left with his brother. Their dead bodies were found on the railroad track Monday morning. It is supposed they had been lynched. And Seventy Hurt in Crash of Passenger and Freight. Thirty people are dead and more than seventy injured, several of them seriously, as the result of a head-on collision Saturday between Salem, Mich., and Plymouth, when a Pere Marquette excursion train, bound from Iona to Detroit, crashed into a westbound freight in a cut located at a sharp curve on the Pere Marquette railroad, about a mile east of Salem. The passenger train of eleven cars, carrying the Pere Marquette shop employees of Iona and their families to the Michigan metropolis for their annual excursion was running at high speedy, probably fifty miles an hour down a steep grade. It struck the lighter locomotive of the freight train with such terrific force as to turn the freight engine completely around. The wrecked locomotives lay side by side, both headed eastward. Only a few of the freight cars were smashed, and it was only a few hours' work to remove all traces of them from the scene. But behind the two wrecked locomotives, six cars of the passenger train lay piled in a hopeless wreck. Four of the passenger coaches remained on the track undamaged and were used to convey the dead and injured to Iona; one coach was entirely undamaged, with only its forward trucks off the rails. These were the rear five cars. The two coaches next ahead of these were telescoped. The next car forward stood almost on its end after the wreck, its forward end resting on the roadbed and the rear end high in the air, upon the two telescoped coaches that had been following it. Two coaches were thrown crosswise of the track and lay suspended from bank to bank of the cut, five or six feet above the rails. Of the baggage car not enough remained to show where it had been tossed. Portions of baggage car and of the locomotive tenders and freight cars were piled in a tangled mass of debris. James Boyles, a farmer, was working in the field near the scene when the two trains approached from opposite directions. The freight came slowly up the heavy grade and had just reached the curve when the passenger train appeared running at high speed. Boyles saw the passenger engineer shut off his steam and apply the brakes and saw the crews of both engines jump before the crash. He ran to the tracks, where he found the uninjured passengers from the rear coaches running forward and joined with them in pulling out the injured who could be seen on every hand. There was a panic among the passengers for a few minutes. Then, as the uninjured people realized that they had not been hurt, they rushed from the cars to the rescue of their friends and relatives who were pinioned among the wreckage. Families were scattered. Mothers ran screaming up and down, searching for their children, while many of the young people were as frantically calling for their parents. The dead were placed in a row alongside the track and the injured were made as comfortable as possible until the arrival of wrecking trains from Saginaw, Detroit and Grand Rapids made it possible to send them to Iona and Detroit. Responsibility is put squarely upon the crew of the freight train by officials of the road, who arrived at the scene of the wreck soon after the accident, and who secured from the crew of the freight train the orders under which it was running, and which clearly showed the position of the passenger excursion train and that the freight train had encroached upon the other train's running time. The freight crew explained simply that they had forgotten. The collision occurred at 9:13 o'clock, and the freight train should have reached Salem at 9:10, to be within their orders. The crash of the colliding trains was heard for a great distance up and down the tracks Crazed Farmer Cut Deadly Swath Before Being Killed. Henry Scutchean, a farmer about fifty years of age, living near Nunlca, Mich, ran amuck Sunday with an ax, killing his invalid son, his wife and her father. Scutchean was later shot by Henry McClellan, a neighbor, whom the crazed muzzlerer had also attacked. Most Worshipful Grand-Master H. R. Butler will leave about August 1 for San Francisco on a much needed vacation. He will return in time to attend the Masonic Congress of Virginia. Each brother in the jurisdiction wishes for him a pleasant trip and a safe return. A number of the brethren have commented favorably on our efforts to induce the worshipful masters of lodges to have short meetings, especially during the warm weather. The shorter the meetings the more inclined will the brethren be to attend in larger number, and the more interested they will become in the affairs of the lodges. Dispensations should be discountenanced. If a man does not care to pay the full price to become a Mason, it is far better for him to stay out of the order. Spasmodic lecturing of the craft is not effective. Catch phrases, etc., should not be countenanced. Certain sections of a degree should be taken up on each lecture night, and the same impressed upon the brethren. Among the Masons peace and harmony is proverbal. Thus it is in this jurisdiction. That accounts for our continuous growth. God created us social beings to assist and encourage each other, as well as for mutual pleasure. If each one of us stood alone and apart from all others and sought only our individual happiness, how cheerless and forlorn would be our existence. Without developing and cultivating our social natures, how little can we know of the real joys of life, which we might possess by yielding to the dictates of our social instincts. We are all proud of our great achievements in the past. Let us, then, press forward along this line of our work to yet grander and more glorious victories. Every day brings a blessing and a joy, and duty requires gratitude and thankfulness to God for it. Not the amount, bu. the spirit of giving brings blessing. The poor widow's two mites outbalanced the rich men's castings into the treasury of the Lord. They, of their abundance contributed unto the offerings of God, but, she of her penury cast in all the living that she had. By thus doing she received the greatest divine approval and enduring fame.—Ex. I fear that sometimes we are not careful enough as to the quality of the material we receive in some of our lodges. It is not a question of quantity, it is, with Masonry, always a question of quality. A large number of inferior brick and stone will never make a strong, beautiful or enduring structure. When exercising the ballot you do not voe for or against a candidate; you vote for the good of Masonry; this is the only test as to how you should vote. It is not a question as to whether you like a man, or dislike him in a general sense; it is a question whether, in your judgment, he will make a good stone to place into the Masonic structure. Is he fit, is he honest, sober, industrious and temperate? Will he be of benefit and strength of Masonry, and has he qualities of such a nature as to enable him to appreciate its goodness and exemplify its beauties in his daily walk? These are questions to be answered by the member in casting his ballot. Had it not been for the free use of the ballot Masonry would have never survived through the centuries. It is its very selectness and exclusiveness that causes candidates all over the world to knock at its door for admission without any special invitation to do so. Other lodges advertise and canvass for members. Masonry advertises itself, by its unostentatious charity, its good fellowship and spirit of brotherly love so plainly manifest among its votaries.—Ex. Let each chapter cultivate harmony, even at expense of membership or pride. With harmony and love we will triumph in all things, and realize the sweet benefits that should be the teachings of the order of the Eastern Star. Should I be asked what is the greatest need in our chapters, reply would be a better appreciation and application of the principles of our order. Chapters must have a definite purpose. A careful study should be made of the ritual. A proper rendering is essential; but we must see to it that we get something more than words. There must be something more than the conferring of degrees and the inevitable banquet. While the claims of the order of the Eastern Star to the performance of Masonic work are limited, yet we hope it has caught up some of the beautiful strains of Masonic teachings—teachings themselves flowing from the very word of God—and attuned them to the tender, the delicate and the more-exalted nature of womanhood, lending to us a fuller understanding and heightening our appreciation of Masonry and crystallizing our kindly sympathies and good will into noble effort.
