VOL. XXIII. In Powers Case Through Inability of Jury to Agree. Ten Jurors Voted for Acquittal While Two Held Out Firmly for Conviction—Fifth Trial Comes Up July Sixth. After being out more than 48 hours the jury in the case of Calc Powers at Georgetown, Ky., tried on a charge of complicity in the murder of William Goebel, Saturday, finally reported that they were unable to agree upon a verdict, and were discharged by Judge Morris. This was the fourth trial of Powers. In two of the former trials Powers was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment, and in the third trial he was also convicted and given the death sentence. Few criminal trials have attracted more attention than has the case of Caleb Powers, who, eight years ago, was just entering on his term as secretary of state, when William Goebel, democratic contestant in the gubernatorial contest then pending before the legislature, was shot and killed at Frankfort, the shot having apparently been fired from a window of the secretary's office. Powers was arrested and for nearly eight years has been in various falls in Kentucky, part of the time as a state and part as a federal prisoner. Powers was charged with being accessory before the fact, and the open window in his office has played a large part in the various prosecutions. His fourth trial, just concluded, continued for seven weeks. Through the inability of a jury to agree in this last arraignment, Powers will on the sixth day of July next be compelled to stand a fifth trial for his life. The attorneys for Powers made a motion for ball, which was overruled by Judge Morris. In their appeal to the court to grant ball, Powers' lawyers pleaded that the defendant was not in good health and that in view of the fact that the jury could not agree as to his guilt he should be allowed to give ball. Another motion of the defense that the date of the next trial be fixed in ten days was overruled and the date was set by Judge Morris for July 6. Ten of the twelve men on the jury voted for acquittal, two holding, out for conviction. Foreman J. T. Price of Grant county, aged 65, and J. W. Ranaker of Harrison county, aged 62, the two eldest men on the jury, were the two who refused to accede to the ten. There came near being an acquittal. Mr. Renaker made a proposition to Mr. Price to vote for acquittal. Price held out, although a slick man. Renaker thereupon said he would vote with Price. C. J. Marshall first voted for conviction, but soon changed. The jurors were greatly wrought up and there was much ill feeling among them. After the verdict was read in court two of the jurors shook Powers by the hand and actually cried. Powers states that he intends to fight the case to the bitter end. JORDAN CALLS MEETING Of Executive Committee of Cotton Association to Be Held in Dallas, Tex. President Harvie Jordan of the Southern Cotton Association has issued a call for the meeting of the national executive committee to be held at Dallas, Texas, on February 19, next. The annual convention of the association will also be held at Dallas, Texas, February 19 and 20. The regular annual meeting of the various state divisions of the association will be called to meet at their respective state capitols throughout the cotton belt on Wednesday, February 5. DOGS TRAILED ROBBER. Negro Robbed Merchant and Locked Him Up in the Store. After one of the most spectacular chases ever known in the state of Alabama, Carol McDougall, a negro, was caught in the swamps of Escambia county. The pursuit illustrated, too, the great value of good dogs, a pack alding in his capture. The negro held up and robbed a storekeeper of $2, holding a pistol on the keeper and locking the door from the outside. Those inside did not get out until he was some distance away. ANOTHER TOBACCO RAID. Night Riders Visit Russellville, Ky. Apply Torch and Use Guns. Soldiers Not Needed. A special from Louisville, Ky., says: Although all is now apparently quiet in the struggle between the tobacco growers of Kentucky and Tennessee and the American Tobacco company, the developments of the day have given great uneasiness. The town of Russellville, which was raided by night riders early Friday morning, was quiet Friday night, but the sheriff and his deputies, the police and the citizens were on the alert to prevent any repetition of the outrages. It was decided by the peace officers and the leading citizens, in view of the improbability of another raid, that the governor would not be asked for troops. State Fire Marshal Mott Ayres, however, will begin an immediate investigation of Thursday night's raid, which resulted in the shooting of three men by the raiders, the burning of two tobacco warehouses and a planing mill, and the partial destruction of three smaller buildings. The county judge and court officials have notified Governor Wilson that a special term of court will be called to consider the evidence brought out by the investigation, and that extraordinary efforts will be made to apprehend and punish the guilty parties. The most disturbing news of the day, following as it did on the heels of the Russellville raid, was the failure of the Burley Tobacó Society and the chief buyers for the Americán Tobacco company to agree regarding the marketing of the 1907 crop held by the society. The parties met at Winchester, in accordance with the terms of a compromise agreement recently brought about by Governor Wilson. The Burley men wanted the company to buy 60,000 hogsheads of tobacco from them, while the buyers would agree to take but 10,000 hogsheads. The Burley men consented to sell the smaller amount. The tobacco had already been inspected and graded. The Burley men fixed a minimum price of 15 cents a pound. The company buyers refused to give more than 12 cents. The Burley society issued a statement after the failure of the conference declaring that, after making the concession in regard to the amount to be bought and falling to agree on a price for the smaller amount proposed by the company, the growers asked the buyers if they would consider further compromise propositions. The buyers, according to the statement, declared that further propositions were useless. The statement concludes: "The attitude taken by the buyers demonstrates conclusively that the American Tobacco company is the only buyer left for our tobacco, and that it is determined to fix its own price." A further conference between the buyers and Burley association has been called for Frankfort in a final effort to reach a settlement, but it is feared the failure of negotiations at the Winchester meeting may increase the friction in the tobacco districts. ANOTHER ILL-FATED ALLIANCE. Countess of Yarmouth, Sister of Harry Thaw, Applies for Divorce. A London dispatch says: The failure of another alliance of the English nobility with an American woman of wealth became public Friday, afternoon when the countess of Yarmouth, who was Alice Thaw of Pittsburg, and a sister of Harry K. Thaw, applied to the divorce court for an annulment of her marriage to the earl of Yarmouth. FLAT RATE IS COMING. Georgia Railroad Commission Soon to Issue Important Order. An order establishing a flat rate of two and a half cents per mile for passenger travel on the railroads in Georgia, this arrangement to become effective April 1, will be issued in a short time by the state railroad commission. STORK BUSY IN GOTHAM. Made 125,126 Visits to New York Families During Year 1907. The stork made 125,126 visits in New York city during 1907, according to statistics just prepared by the commissioner of health. This is an increase of 13,354 over the previous year. The new figures give New York a higher birthrate than London and a lead of more than 40 per cent over Paris. During the year there were 79,205 deaths, giving a death rate of 18.48 per thousand. SAVANNAH. GA. SATURDAY. JANUARY 11. 1908. SPECIAL WRECKED Tourist Train on Way to Florida Goes Through Trestle. THREE DEAD; EIGHTY HURT Palatial Coaches, Filled With People from Ohio and Pennsylvania, Dumped Into Swamp of Mud Near Hiram, Ga. Three men scalded to death, two passengers known to be fatally hurt, and eighty-odd more or less injured, is the result of the most complete wreck ever known on the Southern road, which took place Tuesday afternoon, two and a half miles north of Hiram, Ga., when the second section of the "Chicago - Florida" limited broke through a trestle and went tumbling down an embankment. That the train did not catch on fire and burn the imprisoned passengers to a crisp is a miracle. What was the finest Pullman train which ever passed out of Cleveland, Ohio, was half buried in mud and slush of a Georgia swamp, the brightly burnished engine a mass of scrap iron, the solid vestibule train broken and battered. The dead: Engineer James' Edwards, 123 Jones avenue, Atlanta, scaled, died at Hiram few hours after wreck; Road Foreman of Engines D. H. Snapp, 34 Cooper street, Atlanta, scaled, died at Atlanta sanitarium; Moses Baldwin, negro fireman, of Atlanta, scaled, died at Grady hospital, Atlanta. Fatally injured: Mrs. Emma Hoover, of Cleveland, Ohio; Miss Florence A. Studebaker, of Cleveland, Ohio, internal- injuries. This train, which was due to arrive in Atlanta shortly after noon Tuesday, left Chattanooga in charge of Conductor Y. R. Norris of Atlanta and Engineer Jim Edwards of Atlanta. On the curve between Dallas and Hilram, a distance of about five miles, and just, below the point where the Seaboard, on a high trestle, crosses the Southern tracks on the Chattanooga division, the wreck occurred. The entire train was made up of Ohio people bound for a winter vacation in Florida and Cuba. They were scattered throughout the vestibulated train, but the majority were in the dining car when the wreck occurred. Just after the track crosses the Seaboard intersection it runs upon an embankment in the middle of which there is a trestle which spans the Copper Mine creek at a distance of ten feet in the air, with the embankment sloping away on either side for forty feet to a lowland of slime and mud. Just about 2:40 o'clock this train, late and running fast, hit the curve which is broken by the span over the creek. Reports vary as to how the accident occurred, but it is generally conceded that the rails 'spread after the engine reached the trestle. This giant mogul immediately left the track; the jar caused the trestle to break; the engine was turned over and fell up against an embankment, while the entire train of seven coaches either fell through the trestle or rolled over and over again down the embankment until the bottom was reached. Luckily, in roiling down the embankment, the fire in the dining car, fell with the range to the ground. Not a single car was left on the tracks, and all had to crawl out of the top of the cars, through the side windows or be cut out of the train by the wrecking crew. As the engine went over, Engineer Edwards, with Chief Engineer Snapp and Fireman Moses Baldwin, were caught in the cab and scalded with hissing steam. As quickly as possible word was sent to Hiram for help, and the wires were calling for aid from the countryside. Every physician for twenty miles was called to the wreck and special trains run to the wreck from Rome, Dalton and two from Atlanta. The Seaboard Air Line train, which ran by in sight of the wreck, stopped and transferred many of the passengers to Atlanta. Only a half hundred were able to walk the distance of a quarter of a mile to the "relief train." The others were too badly hurt to make the trip. Then began the work of rescue. As quickly as possible the fatally injured from the passenger coaches were rushed on the first wrecker to Hiram, where their wounds were dressed and every effort was made to save them. NEW FINANCIAL BILL Introduced In the Senate by Aldrich and Referred—Bacon Injects Prohibition Question. Senator Aldrich introduced his currency bill in the senate Tuesday. He had the bill read and announced that the committee would be glad to consider in connection with it all bills that senators might desire to introduce. Senator Clay of Georgia announced that he proposed to have a vote in the senate to test the sentiment of that body on his resolution favoring a federal law to uphold states in their efforts to make effective prohibition within their borders. His resolution also instructed the judiciary committee to report whether or not congress has the constitutional right to pass a bill prohibiting the transportation of liquors from state, counties or municipalities where such liquors are legally sold into states, counties or municipalities where local option or prohibition prevails. Upon objection by Senator Nelson the resolution was permitted to go over. The Aldrich financial bill providing for an emergency currency, was referred to the committee on finance. It is certain to meet with very vigorous opposition. The bill provides for an emergency issue limited to $250,000,000, and subject to a tax of 6 per cent while outstanding. Applications by banks for this emergency currency must be approved by the comptroller of the currency. The treasurer of the United States and the secretary of the treasury shall approve the kind and amount of security offered. This security may be either state, county, municipal or first mortgage railroad bonds. Particular objection is made to the inclusion of railroad bonds in the list of approved securities, even at 75 per cent of their value. It was learned later in the day that so much opposition had immediately developed on this point that railroad bonds would probably be stricken from the bill when reported from the committee. It was pointed out that this provision placed the credit of national banks and unimpeached business houses below that of railroads, which may be in the hands of stock jugglers. Banks cannot put up cotton warehouse certificates at three-fourths or even one-half of their value; they cannot rediscount their customers' paper, gilt-edge though it may be; and thus convert bank credits into a legal medium of exchange; they cannot make such arrangements with the treasury in times of great emergency that they now make with the banks in which their reserves are placed in normal times. Under this bill the national banks can buy up railroad stock and secure 75 per cent of their value from the government. The railroads' and the treasury are thus brought close together. There are thus offered tremendous possibilities for the railroad stock gamblers to use the funds in the national treasury to promote schemes of stock manipulation. WOMAN KILLED; BABE CREMATED Diabolical Crime in Gwinnett County, Ga.—Two Negroes Jailed. One of the most diabolical crimes ever committed in Gwinnett county, Georgia, was perpetrated in Cater district, and as a result John Hudson and Henry Campbell, two negroes are in jail at Lawrenceville, charged with murder and arson. The house of John Hudson was found to be on fire, and when neighbors came in they discovered the bodies of Hudson's wife and three-monthsold baby in the flames. The bodies were removed from the burning building, and it was seen at once that the woman had been murdered by a blow on the head. She was also stabbed through the heart, and then almost dismembered. The child was not killed, but was left to die in the flames. Coroner H. J. Moon was notified, and after investigating the case ordered the arrest of John Hudson and Henry Campbell as the murderers. WARNING TO MAIL CARRIERS. Cannot Deliver Booze on Their Routes, Says Postmaster General. Postmaster General Meyer has issued an order which has a direct bearing upon the prohibition movement. The order is as follows: "It is hereby ordered that it shall be a condition of any contract hereafter centred into for carrying the mails upon star, screen wagon, mail messenger or special service route, that the contractor or carrier shall not transport intoxicating liquor from one point to another upon such route while in the performance of mail service." GOOD TO RAILROADS Consequently South Carolina Reaps an Advantage. IS GIVEN LOWER RATES Conservatism of State Is Repaid Voluntarily by Southern Which Proposes to Inaugurate Flat Rate South Carolina's conservatism toward the railroads has worked to the state's advantage. The Southern railway will voluntarily inaugurate April 1 next a flat ticket rate in the state of 2 1-2 cents per mile, with special rates of 2 1-4 cents and 2 cents, of which a large proportion of the traveling public will be able to take advantage. The above announcement was made by President W. W. Finley at a conference held with Governor Ansel in Columbia Friday morning. Other members of the conference were B. L. Caughman, John H. Earle and J. M. Sullivan, constituting the state railroad commission; Frazer Lyon, the attorney general; W. W. Finley of Washington, president of the Southern railway; J. M. Culp of Washington, one of the vice presidents of the Southern; A. W. Thom, of Washington, the general counsel of the Southern, and B. L. Abney of Columbia, the Southern's division counsel. Mr. Finley said that the Southern would inaugurate under the new regime the following classes of transportation: Regular rate-ticket, 2 1-2 cents a mile; family mileage books, 500 miles, limited to the use of the heads of families and dependent members of their families, all of whose names will appear on the cover, 2 1-4 cents a mile; mercantile mileage books, 2,000 miles, which may be used at different times by different members or employees of a firm or corporation, not exceeding five in number, 2 cents a mile; individual mileage books, 1,000 miles, limited to use by the purchaser, 2 cents a mile. The arrangement will be given a twelve months' trial, commencing April 1. In return for its voluntary action in reducing the fares and thus placing South Carolina on the same footing in regard to passenger rates as other states which have recently passed rate bills, the Southern railway will hope for some minor changes in present laws by the legislature, which meets on the 14th instant. The Southern wishes permission to charge a fee of 15 cents in excess of the fare when passengers board trains without tickets. This the present law forbids them to charge. It was pointed out at the conference that only by thus penalizing travelers for not buying tickets can the Southern hope to keep out of the way of its conductors the temptation that lies for them in the handling of cash fares collected on the trains. Then the Southern wishes the minimum rate for short hauls made 10 cents. It is now 5 cents. It is also desired that the legislature authorize the company's agents, in collecting for tickets to make the amount multiples of 5 cents. This is primarily for the sake of convenience in making change, a problem that sometimes gets very troublesome at small stations. The Southern's proposition is that 2 1-2 cents shall be the turning point, that is, that if the fare is, say $1.32, the agent may charge only $1.30, but if the fare is $1.34 the agent may charge $1.35. VERDE NATION FOREST In Arizona Created by Proclamation of the President. A Washington special says: The president has signed a proclamation creating the Verde national forest in Arizona Territory, with an area of 721,780 acres located in Maricopa and Yavapal counties. SHERIFF LEVIES ON DEPOT. Big L. & N. Freight House in Atlanta Held for Taxes. To satisfy f. fas. against the Louisville and Nashville railway for taxes amounting to $6,240, the sheriff of Fulton county Friday levied on the property of the railway, deeded to the Louisville and Nashville by the city of Atlanta. The railway company holds itself exempt from taxation, inasmuch as the property is built on land belonging to the Georgia railroad, which, being the first established in the state, is not liable for taxation. CONGRESS RECONVENES. Bill to Change Banking Regulations Introduced by Williams—President Sends Message—Other Matters. Congress reconvened Monday, after the holiday recess, but both houses adjourned until Tuesday, after brief sessions, out of respect to the memory of the late Senator Mallory of Florida. The senate was in session only four minutes, and the house for half an hour. In a message to the house, President Roosevelt urged that in preparing for the work of taking the next census the four thousand or more additional employees needed be appointed immediately after competitive examination under the rules of civil service commission, and strongly denounced the "patronage system" of making the appointments, saying that the civil service commission was fully capable of securing most efficient forces. Representative John Sharp Williams of Mississippi introduced a bill in the house Monday repealing the law directing that three-fifths of the 15 per the reserve of national banks may consist of balances due a bank available for the redemption of its circulating notes from banks approved by the comptroller of the currency; and repealing all laws permitting national banks to keep three-fifths of their reserves in national banks in reserve cities; and all laws permitting national banks in reserve cities to keep 50 per cent of the reserves in central reserve cities. If this bill becomes a law, not less than one-half of national bank reserves now required to be kept in lawful money in central reserve cities hereafter must be held in gold or gold certificates. The bill is to become effective July 1, 1908. A bill reducing the regular army, after the first of December, 1908, to 35,000 men, 10,000 of whom shall constitute an artillery force for coast defense, was also introduced by Mr. Williams. The standing army as now posed embraces 40,000 odd officers and men. Mr. Williams also offered a bill repealing all the laws by which national bank examiners are compensated by fees, and placing them on a regular salary of $3,000 per annum. Two bills introduced by Mr. Sims of Tennessee, are designed to prevent star route mail carriers from knowingly carrying packages of intoxicating liquor to or for any one on the route. If a star route carrier does so his action shall be deemed unlawful, and the offender shall be dealt with according to such rules and regulations as the postmaster general shall prescribe. Among the other bills introduced in the house during its half-hour session were the following: By Mr. Gregg of Texas, providing for the selection of a site for a navy yard and dry dock at Galveston. By Mr. Clark of Florida, providing for a congressional investigation of charges of peonage in the southern states, and an investigation of prosecutions thereof by the department of justice. By Mr. Wallace of Arkansas, repealing the duty on wood pulp and printing paper. By Mr. Clark of Florida, prohibiting the transportation in the mails, or the depositing in any mail receptacle, of any newspaper, magazine or other publication containing the alleged facts of any divorce suit, murder case or other proceeding "of an indecent or immoral character or which would tend to corrunt the young." By Mr. Ferris of Oklahoma, enabling the distribution annually of treasury surpluses among the states for the improvement of public highways and postroads. Providing an eight-hour day on all government works. To prevent gambling, in cotton and grain futures. ALLEGES NO REAL MARRIAGE. Sensational Assertion of Countess of Yarmouth Regarding Husband; A New York dispatch says: The countess of Yarmouth, who was Miss Alice Thaw of Pittsburg, sister of Harry Kendall Thaw, has entered suit in the divorce diation for the nullification of her marriage with the earl of Yarmouth. Her allegations are of such a character that the suit will be heard in camera. Her assertion is that there never has been a real marriage. A jury of menrons will be specially empowered to determine the truth or falsity of it. In addition, eminent gynecological experts will be called in support of the countess suit. Immigrant Americanization Why the Scandinavians Prefer to Speak English. By Brander Matthews. MONG the immigrants themselves the process of Americanization is sometimes extraordinarily swift. It did not take long for Gallatin and Agassiz and Schurz to make themselves at home here, and the less gifted and the less well educated foreigner has an ever stronger incentive to get out of his old-world shell. When the late Prof. Boyesen went to Minnesota he was surprised to find that his fellow-Scandinavians preferred to speak English even to him; and it was explained to him that the use of their native tongue would re- A veal their peace tisman who had use of English The process, also to our faith nomenon in all than this America with no violence of sturdy English nomic freedom, ing men in sea Men of moral d industrial and o men established these standards hundred years, transformed, an scent, has most endure, and asp influences.—Fro Com Forme veal their peasant origin, and thus testify to their social inferiority to a gentleman who had been graduated from the University of Upsala, whereas the use of English lifted them all to the lofty table land of American citizenship. The process of assimilation, at work now, under our own eyes, was visible also to our fathers and to our forefathers. Indeed, there is no stronger phenomenon in all the marvelous history of civilization than this very process—than this Americanization of countless aliens, generation after generation, with no violent modification of American ideals. Three centuries ago, "men of sturdy English fibre began to come in search of mental, religious and economic freedom," as an acute student of social conditions has phrased it. "Daring men in search of new experiences came as adventurers and discoverers. Men of moral daring came in search of religious and civic freedom. Men of industrial and commercial daring came in search of larger opportunity. These men established ideals and set standards and created tendencies for a nation." These standards, these ideals, these tendencies still survive after almost three hundred years, modified a little, no doubt, but developed only, not radically transformed, and never renounced. The American of today, whatever his descent, has most of the characteristics of the American of yesterday. Ideals endure, and aspirations have not blunted by time or turned aside by alien influences.—From the Center. The Commercialization of the Law By Judge D. P. Baldwin, Formerly of the Indiana Circuit Federal Court. HE law has become commercialized. It has wofully deteriorated in many respects. Commercialism has perverted many of the legal ideas and purposes of the old school. Instead of looking upon the law as a profession, incidentally furnishing a livelihood for the lawyer, our young men today are going into law because they think they can make more money there than elsewhere. T This is a perversion of the whole legal principle. If there is any class I detest it is the "ambulance chaser." It is the motto of every decent member of the legal profession that the client must hunt the lawyer, not the lawyer the client. is the motto of must hunt the tree. But while worse than other literary giants? If you can, a tr Websters or Ch You will find Larger congrega religion. What we ne professional an mercialized. L and general dev ical prestige.

Where will you find a great novelist in this country? Name if you can, a truly great poet? Where are our great orators? Are there any Websters or Choates in our profession any longer? You will find the same beneficial effects of commercialism in the church. Larger congregations and more beautiful buildings don't take the place of real religion. What we need is an ethical revival. We need higher standards in all our professional and personal activities. The law, in particular, must be uncommercialized. Lawyers need to pay more attention to logic, oratory, culture, and general development, and less to the mere acquisition of money or political prestige. Instead of giving our time to politics we ought to give it to acquiring a wider range and more thorough knowledge and all-round ability. The Animal Story By Edwin L. Sabin RITICISED though they are—these animal stories so popular of late in fiction—as being mawkish, supersentimental, unnatural, and misinforming, is it not better to invest the beast and bird creation with o'er-much humanization rather than with o'er-little? C Man kills so easily, even so mechanically, with never a thought for the agonies of the victims. Man is the only animal which kills, normally, just for the love of it. Other animals of prey to kill to cat or in defence. But it is man who kinned thousands of buffalo bulls, when they were valueless, simply to see them stagger and fall; who slaughtered the passenger pigeons and fed them to the hogs; who catches far more trout than he can consume, and shoots more ducks than he can give away. knee thousands them stagger at the hogs; who ducks than he Step softly squirrel, and he presence, the h creasing, when a,murderer, fro worse than Therefore, man to look wif sins, and can it speed it Step softly as an average man may into a wood merry with bird and squirrel, and he surely must note the sudden voices of alarm which herald his presence, the hush which attends his passage, the outburst again, timidly increasing, when he has gone. For through the wood his reputation is that of a murderer, from whom ro living thing is sate. He is Man; a "varmint" worse than bear and wolf and tiger, snake and hawk. Therefore, if the animal story, exaggerated as it undeniably is, can bring man to look with more, friendly and compassionate eye upon his humbler cousins, and can interest, especially, the uprising generation, it deserves a God-speed despite its faults.—From Lippincott's Magazine. Beauty's Debt to Vaccine By Fleet Surgeon Homo. EAUTIFUL women a century ago evoked the wild enthusiasm of which you write because they were then so few. Small-pox had ruined all, complications, and the few women who had escaped it, who would now only be called ordinarily nice-looking, were then as rare as goddesses, and so worshipped. Forty years ago aged relatives used to tell me stories that puzzled me of ladies in Edinburgh about 1820—of ladies so beautiful that crowds always lined their paths from their marriages to the shops. I used to regret I had missed seeing beauties so delicate, little knowing I was really, seeing them daily. The milkmaid, accidentally vaccinated in her trade, escaped small-pox, and so gained the reputation of fresh completion that some of us who are older can remember. Vaccination has enabled all women now to equal her in beauty, and her fame has gone through her looks remains as before. To let one's fancy range; To play the bed is so, The window so, as it used to be In that home of long ago; To play the door is here; The street is crisscross there; And then to wait, as I used to wait, For the step upon the stair. To count as the footsteps pass, Now near, now faint and far— How personal they sound at night, What company they are! Some brisk and some sedate, I wonder where they go; And I drawen a little till suddenly The dear, dear step I know. The start of joy, the flush, The tender, happy thrill, And then, oh, God! I am homeless and old, And his grave is on the hill! —Gertrude Huntington McGiffert, in The Century. Breaking the News to Him It was a difficult situation. To be sure, Marcella had not actually flirted with Ackley Henderson—she refused to include the verb in her well-bred vocabulary—but then— Men are so queer—so apt to think that one means things when really one is actuated only by ordinary courtesy and the gayety of the moment and cheerfulness toward the world in general. When a man calls very regularly is that any reason why a girl should consider him in love with her? It would be abominable conceit, Marcella assured herself indignantly, as she twisted in her hair. Why, dozens of men had called on her in the last five years, and only three or four had asked her to marry them. Each of these men seemed surprised when she refused. Therefore, why should she worry for fear Ackley Henderson would take it badly and think himself ill-treated when he learned she was engaged to an Eastern man? The wedding was set for June, and Marcella felt that she must break the news. She told herself that she would do it that very evening, and was surprised to find herself turning to ice at the thought. She stared at her own face sternly in the glass. It was not that she had a lingering fear lest she cared for Ackley—not a bit of it! The man down East had all her heart, but she did like Ackley immensely in a friendly fashion, and dreaded his displeasure. Just why should she think he cared for her? She demanded a reply as she fiercely scanned for another shell hairpin. He had never said anything; but then, words were not always necessary. Only a week ago, when she had been playing at the piano, on turning suddenly she had caught his gaze fixed on her with such open tenderness that the blood had rushed to her face. He had carried it off well by asking in the next breath some irrelevant question, but it had started her to thinking. Really it was too bad of Ackley. He was such a reserved, odd person that one never could tell what he was going to do next. He never confided in his friends, though apparently he was free and open. She searched her memory sharply. Had she ever given him the slightest right to fancy she was especially attracted by him? Of course, she had been interested in his yachts and his theories on the proper way how to drive a horse, and his favorite books, but that was only what ordinary politeness called for. If one did not talk to a man about the things in which he, was interested what on earth would become of conversation? Marcella jabbed in the last pin and straightened her side combs and just then the bell rang. Heaving a long sigh, she went down to greet Ackley Henderson. He was so particularly happy and cheerful to-night that it made her task doubly hard. How should she begin? She could not plunge into the subject abruptly—she wanted to glide into it gracefully and by degrees—but somehow she could not manage the conversation. And all the while Ackley sat beaming joyously at her. Marcella shivered. She wished she could remember a few times when she had been rude to him—the memory would brace her up—but there was nothing but unremitting and gracious kindness on her part in the hateful past. She wondered if he would tell her what he thought of her when she told him of her engagement, or whether he would take it quietly and brood over it. She didn't know which would be worse. She chattered fluently on everything under the sun, but at last talk ran slow. Silence fell. Marcela felt it was now or neyer. She leaned forward and fingered the paper cutter lying at her hand and spoke in a low voice. She did not look at him. "I'm going to tell you something, Ackley," she said. She could feel that he was all attention instantly. "I—perhaps I should have told you—told people some time ago, but I—well, I didn't. —I you've met Bob Van Puyster of New York? I'm going to marry him in June." She ended with a rush. After an instant she raised her eyes bravely to meet his stricken face. Then she stared in blank amazement, for Ackley Henderson was smiling surprisingly, delightedly: "Why, I am greatly pleased," he cried heartily. "De Puyster is a fine chap. I'm glad to hear it. And I might as, well tell you there's a girl down in St. Louis that is going to be Mrs. Henderson next fall—and your profile and hers are identical. Every time I look at you I'm reminded of her, though, of course, you're not alike." Marcella was speechless. For one mortal hour she had to sit, and listen to the praises of another girl sung into her astonished and reluctant ears and smile as though she liked it. Her own engagement he apparently dismissed from his mind. He was about, the farthest from an heart-broken man one would care to see.

Unknown New Guinea. By CYRUS C. ADAMS. $ ^{6} $ Dr. Rudolf Poch, of Vienna, has shown that many valuable results of exploration are acquired by the long and patient efforts of solitary travelers. For two years (1904-1906) he wandered with four or five native carriers, three-fourths of the way around New Guinea, the second largest island in the world. He was engaged in anthropological and geographical study, chiefly back of the coasts, in regions where little as yet is known of the country and its inhabitants. All his time was spent in five districts of German, British and Dutch New Guinea; and it seems surprising that only twenty to forty miles inland, especially in the German territory, he reached virgin fields that no white man had visited. In his long report, published in the Zeitschrift of the Berlin Geographical Society, he gives reasons why so much of inner New Guinea is still little known. Dr. Poch walked only two days inland from Potsdamhafen to reach villages and mountain valleys that had never seen white men, though the Germans had lived years at this port. Many similar instances occur in New Guinea, and Dr. Poch's explanation is found in the great difficulty of travel and the unfriendness of the natives. In a short march inland from Potsdamhafen, for example, the native paths climb steep slopes, fall into deep and narrow valleys, or run along the sharp edge of ridges; and all the while the pedestrian feels swathed in straw, the grass that chokes the foot-wide path rising above his head, no movement of air among those giant growths, and above him, the blazing sun with its unmitigated outpouring of discomfort. This, he says, is the outline of many a pioneer journey in the great island as relates to physical misery; and none but a man of unusual tact and patience can fare safely among the natives. The explorer found new illustrations of the fact that natives in one district may differ greatly in physical characteristics, in methods of house building and other rude arts and especially in speech from other tribes living only ten to fifteen miles away. He found two tribes that, while engaged in their traditional dances, sing the same songs, the text of which conveys no meaning to them. One tribe say they got these songs from the other tribe, who assert in turn that the songs were handed down by their fathers. These words of old tradition, in Dr. Poch's opinion, are words of a dead speech.—Outing. American Pork Triumphs Abroad. Our annual hog killing is an apotheosis, as it were, of American cookery. Already we are, having our triumphs abroad. The last two seasons have found on bills of fare in London hotels and restaurants the item of "pork sausage a la Americain." Venl, vidi, vici! We whiff, in anticipation, the odors of frying sage yet to float out of the doors of Belgravia. It is now some years since fried chicken smothered in cream gravy appeared on the Paris menu under a long Gallic name intended to conceal the surrender of the Paris chefs to our Colonial mothers who invented that most toothsome delicacy. The disguise was penetrated by Colonel Kennedy, of Springfield, Mo., on the Rue Rolliv. Even now there is appearing in parts of Germany itself a growing predilection for substituting, in the dressing of a lettuce salad, for all of the mayonnaise but the vinegar, a dressing of bacon grease spiced with herb condiments. The Kaiser was introduced to this by Prince Henry, who got acquainted with it in St. Louis at a private entertainment. The Kaiser, when the flavor touched his palate, is said to have cried out in a loud voice that it must be claimed as a German invention. Fortunately, the records are available to show that it is the invention of a serving woman near Culpeper Court House, Va., whose descendants are now among the proudest members of our Colonial and Revolutionary societies. — St. Louis Globe Democrat.

One of the local amusements at Sydney appears to be "The Nature Man," who lives on fruit, clothes himself in a small piece of cloth and guides his way of life by the two following commandments of his own construction: "Get away from the smoky, dusty, krouded kondishun of the city; from temashut and wearing xitment fre thyself."

By Motor Car to the South Pole. ```markdown ``` On July 30 Leutenant Shackleton set sail for the Antarctic. It has been decided to fix the base of operations on King Edward's Land, the most easterly point reached by the expedition of 1901-04. This point is equally well placed as regards the pole, and has the advantage of being new ground. Into this area Mr. Shackleton will penetrate by three distinct sledge expeditions, in which he will be aided by the use of a motor car specially built for the task at the Arrol-Johnston works, Palsley. The car is constructed to withstand extreme cold, and will be operated by a spirit which will work satisfactorily in low temperatures; it is provided with three different sets of wheels for use on surfaces of varying softness. Great hopes are entertained of its value for traction purposes, but it is recognized that its employment is an experiment, and the chances of the expedition's success are far from being centred in any such novel means of locomotion. The use of Siberian ponies in the Antarctic is also in the nature of an experiment, but the hardiness and strength they have developed on the bitterly cold plains of Eastern Siberia, where they are accustomed to live in the open all through the winter, justify the hope that the experiment will be a success.—The Sphere.

Artists and wielders of the bursh will instantly recognize the advantages of the double color brush shown in the illustration below, the invention of a New Jersey man. THE HORSEHORSE Having two brushes on the one handle to work with, more work can naturally be accomplished by the operator. In applying plain washes over a large surface the two brushes can be manipulated with as much case as one, the large volume of color carried by the brushes insuring the wash being more even in color, as the entire surface can be covered before one part dries. When the latter is the case it is almost impossible to get the color to lie evenly. Two colors can also be carried on the brushes—one on each—which would materially assist the artist where two colors are being applied at the same time. A half-century ago William H. Parkin discovered the coloring properties of coal-tar. Through the Telephone. "Are you there?" "Yes." "Who are you, please?" "Watt." "What is your name, please?" "Watt's my name."

R. E. Parsi. The crime for which Mrs. Freeney was sentenced to life imprisonment was committed at her home in Eastman, Dodge county. Harrell, the bill collector, made improper proposals to Mrs. Freeney, following which she secured a revolver and shot him to death. A saloon man in that county, on the first of December, mortgaged his stock of liquors and bar fixtures. He did not pay off the mortgage, and there was a foreclosure. The sheriff was instructed to sell the liquors and fixtures to satisfy the claim. The sheriff was troubled and he has written Attorney General Hart for an opinion. Judge Hart has submitted an unofficial opinion that the sheriff cannot sell the intoxicants because the new act specifically forbids an officer of the state to sell, make or give away intoxicants. "Agricultural College on Wheels." Dr. A. M. Soule, dean of the $100,000 agricultural college at Athens, and Chancellor D. C. Barorw of the University of Georgia, have secured from the railroad commissioners of Georgia, permission for the "agricultural college on wheels" to begin its tour of the state. The exact date for its departure from Athens has not as yet been decided upon, but will probably be between the 10th and 15th of February. Dr. Soule has mapped out the itinerary and it will traverse every railroad in the state of Georgia with the exception of the Western and Atlantic, and will consume a period of thirty-five days. During this time rural towns with an aggregate population of 350,000 people will have been visited. The special train, which is to be furnished free by the railroads, is to be composed of one baggage car for ex- Georgia Briefs Items of State Interest Culled From Random Sources.

A letter from Assistant Secretary of War Oliver at Washington, stating that he will order a portion of the national guard of Georgia into camp at Fort Screven, on Tybee Island, from May 16 to 25, has been received and turned over to Adjutant General Scott, who will notify the commands which will go into camp at the time designated. * * * To Open Up Tobacco Plantations. Great preparations are being made to open up tobacco plantations near Bower station, on the Georgia, Florida and Alabama railroad, 12 miles below Balmbridge. Hon. B. B. Bower, Jr., and J. D. Bower, his brother, will have ten acres of shaded tobacco each, which will yield $1,000 per acre. In addition to these there are many others cultivating the weed in that vicinity. Bank in Abbeville Closed. After a conference in Atlanta between State Bank Examiner Park, Attorney General Hart and Governor Smith, at which President Hal Lawson was present, the Citizens' bank of Abbeville was placed in the hands of the state bank examiner. President Lawson made a frank statement of the bank's affairs. He said it had assets of $70,000 and liabilities of about half that amount. A large amount of outstanding paper with the farmers and merchants, upon which the bank could not realize now, forced it to close its doors. The bank has a capital stock of $35,000, and is the oldest bank in Abbeville. Georgia State Bonds Retired. State Treasurer R. E. Park, through the New York correspondent of the state treasury, has retired $100,000 in Georgia bonds, and paid out interest to the sum of $156,000 on the $7,131,000 of Georgia bonds now being held throughout the country. It will probably be the latter part of the month before the "clipped coupons"—which denote the payment of the in- terest—are received. This is the annual expense of the state, and a special appropriation to cover it is made each year by the general assembly. The state is in splendid financial condition right now, and is amply able to meet this debt. Woman Gets Stay of Sentence. A stay of sentence has been granted by Governor Smith to Mrs. Sallie Freeney, the young woman now in the Bibb county Jail at Macon, convicted of the murder of W. P.

Pound, who assumed the duties of that important office on the first of the year, has made up the apportionment sheet for 1908, dividing the $2,000,000 appropriated for the common schools of Georgia among the 147 county school system, and the several city school systems of Georgia. To arrive at this basis of computation it was necessary to take a school census, which shows that there are, today, 703,876 school children in Georgia, and this appropriation sets aside $2.82 per capita for each of these. This is considerable increase over that of last year, when the per capita appropriation was only $2.58. Of this sum, Fulton county and the city of Atlanta will receive a large proportion. There are in Fulton county, outside of Atlanta, 7,433 school children, which will give to this system an appropriation of $20,998, while Atlanta, with her 22,302 school children, will receive $64,432.60. The county of Richmond, including the schools in Augusta, will receive $50,821.75. This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has compiled with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens.

The alderman says that he has been informed that members of the park board have used Grant Park for the furtherance of their own private interests. He claims that ex-Councilman Charles A. Chosewood carried flowers from the park to his private park, the "White City," and that one wagon load was removed after the dark. He says that he knows personally that flowers are now being kept in the park greenhouse which belong to members of the board. "I understand that there has been a misappropriation of labor and material from the park, Pittman says. "Furthermore, I am told that Superintendent Gillespie has been raising chickens at Grant park for Mr. Chosewood. "I asked a member of the park board about these matters, and was informed that Mr. Chosewood, W. C. Puckett and A. J. Ryan had been running Grant park."

SATURDAY, JAN. 11, 1908. HARMONY among our business men is essential to success. This is a cue for our business men in this city. They should be more cordial toward each other. The increase of business along different lines among our people during the past year, was gratifying. It is hoped that the results will be greater at the terminating of this year. Gov. SMITH was in the city on Wednesday. It was a cold day and he met no outburst of warm greeting. But few persons attended the public reception at the city hall. COMPLIANT is frequently made that our people will not patronize each other. This is true when in our business we have nothing to induce their patronage, or that our business methods are such as to preclude their patronage. Have in stock what other stores have, treat the people more honestly and more courteously than other business men do and it will be found that trade will increase. It was announced in the morning paper that an English prison evangelist was in the city and held a final service in the jail at which he preached to the white prisoners. It is known that there are more colored prisoners in the jail than whites, and we are at a loss to know how the white prisoners could be so segregated to be preached to, out of the hearing of the colored prisoners. The moral air in the city seems more purified since the dry days begun. Our men have already saved thousands of dollars that have been spent for whiskey. A part of this money should find its way in some of our saving institutions, invested in homes and the securing of more clothing and groceries for the home. Keep the tigers from clawing, and prohibition will be an everlasting blessing. In dealing with our people, our business men can not be too careful, and especially to take no advantage of them. It many instances our people are easily handled, and in some men they have implicit confidence, because of this, those of us, who are better informed should do nothing to violate this confidence, but in every transaction give them the benefit of the least doubt. Dealing fairly and squarely with them and in fact with all persons, will help a man especially one who is in business. Success may be slow, but with close application it will be sure and in the end success will be attained and more keenly will be the enjoyment of it. We appeal to our business and all men who are better informed, to treat our people justly in every transaction. THE TRIBUNE feels itself the "daddy" of Negro enterprises in this city. For many years it has led in the employment of our young men and women and have been the means of supporting several families. That work is being continued and if we could get only ten per cent of our people in this county to support us, instead of having on the pay roll ten persons, we would be able to give employment to twice that number. For years we have been untiring in advocating the establishment of business along various lines in order to give our young men and women employment. Ten years ago we had comparatively no enterprise, but since then we have a number that we can point to with pride, and are giving work to our young folks, thus training them up to the idea of doing business. For each of these institutions, THE TRIBUNE appeal to our people to support unstintingly. Deposit your money in our banks, secure policies in our insurance companies, patronize our dry goods store, our shoe store, our grocery stores, our drug stores, our tailoring establishments, our repair shops of all kinds, our doctors, our dentists, our undertakers, and in fact patronize more liberally 1910 Rev. B. L. PERRY. every one of us in business. In twenty-five per cent of the colored people in the city would patronize fully our business men as needs demand, in a year's time we would have hundreds more of our young people in more lucrative employment, and the number of enterprises wonderfully increased. Every colored man, woman and youth should resolve now and henceforth that they will consistently do more for the upbuilding of the enterprises of the race than ever before. matter. Before his death he had every body's money labeled with the proper amount on each package, and being treasurer of several societies, he had checks on blanks signed for each, even for his own account so that no one will have any trouble in securing funds from the banks. Truly a good man has been called hence. Besides Messrs. P. Edward and B. L. Perry, he leaves a wife and other relatives to mourn his death. The bereaved family has the sympathy of friends.

The holidays were spent quietly but pleasantly. The teachers were invited to spend New Year's-eve at the residence of Pres. Wright. The evening was spent very pleasantly. A few minutes before twelve all joined in singing Lux Benigna and while three short prayers were being offered the old year passed out and the new came in to abide for a brief measure of time. After singing "Abide With Me" and extending greeting for the New Year the guests returned to their several homes. Miss Nettie Houston of city was the guest of Mrs. L. B.

Prof. John H. Baldwin superintendent of our Sunday School is always on the alert, he knows just what his teachers and scholars need. On last Sunday each teacher was presented with a useful and almost quite instructive present composed of a case with a lead penell with J. H. Baldwin's name inscribed on the back and a rule about six inches long representing the Golden Rule with biblical verses thereon. Prof. Baldwin instructed every teacher to measure their lives every day with this rule and they would live better lives. Prof Baldwin says he will look for results. The first quarterly conference of St. Philip for 1907 and 1908 was held on last night. Preaching Elder R.M. S, Taylor presiding.

Social Notes. On Friday evening of last week Miss Isabel D. Johnson entertained a few friends at her home 527 Jefferson street, with a leap year social. The novelty of the social consisting of a lady and gentleman exchanging little booklets typifying flowers of many colors and expressions of sentiment written on each; and the guessing of how many seeds in an orange ten inches in circumference, made the evening to be very pleasantly and humorously, spent. Mr. Simeon Bryant the witty toast master and bachelor of honor called on every bachelor present to give reason why he was a bachelor. So logically well did the maids hold their side up that the toast master about lost his wit on the first question asked one. After the guests were served with a very dainty repast, they exchanged expressions of incidents peculiar in leap years and made their departure for their several homes, well pleased with an evening in music, melody and mirth. Those present were Mrs. Paul Gaston, Misses Lucy Campbell, Stella Baguill, Madaline Victory, Drucilla and Belle Blyster, Bertha D. Williams, Isabel D. Johnson, Messrs W. Du Henry Browne, Jos. C.

Bolton St. The home was artistically arranged and the members and invited guests were well accommodated. The invited guests were THE TRIBUNE representative and Mr. Duncan J. Scott. The table around which all were seated was filled with all the delicacies that one could wish, beautiful potted plants and souvenirs of national colors. Mr. F. P. Edwards, the superb toast master, requested President M. B. Branham to speak first, which he did in a very timely and appropriate manner and received much applause from all present who wished him the success of the office. Mr. L. M. Pollard speaker of the evening addressed the members on "Success." His discourse was one of eloquence; and suggestive of every good, sound and logical way to succeed, and the members received it with many applause and a rising vote of thanks. Mr. W. G. Williams very befittingly and humorously responded with a paper called "Mimics of the office force." Mr. Duncan J. Scott spoke in glow ing terms of the Branch and painted a beautiful picture of the relation of the Branch to the National Association of Letter Carriers. Mr. Howard Stiles the newly elected collector for the Mutual Benefit Association connected with the N. A. L. C., placed much stress in his discourse on the benefit of M.B. A. to its members. Mr. C. C. DeVeaux, one of the most stalwart promoters of the Branch made a very spicy talk, which gave much encouragement to the members. All the members made befitting remarks after refreshments were served and a rising vote of thanks extended the committee viz., Mr. M. R. Miller, Mr. S. A. King and Mr. A. A. Lovett, who with the assistance of Mrs. M. R. Miller, Mrs. S. A. King, made it possible for them to enjoy the evening immensely. The officers installed for the en- ueasing year were M. B.

Woman's Realm --- Precisely as in the case of an "at home" day, what is known as the "rest-day" of the week of some French women of fashion is intimated to all their friends. On that day the lady enjoys complete repose, sleeping as much as possible, and taking a diet of fruit and vegetables only. This is said to be the finest "beauty recipe" and nerve tonic that is known. —Pittsburgh Dispatch. Mother of Mesa Verde. Mrs. W. S. Peabody, of Colorado, is called the mother of Mesa Verde National Park, because of the interest she has taken in the preservation of the 'relics of the mysterious cliff dwellers of Colorado. For the 'same reason Professor Edgar L. Hewett, director of American Archeology of the Archeological Institute of America, has named the most recently discovered of the cliff dwellers in her honor, the Peabody House.—Pittsburgh Dispatch. The Difference in Feet. The French foot is narrow and long. The Spanish foot is small and elegantly curved. The Arab's foot is proverbial for its high arch. The Koran says that a stream of water can run under the true Arab's foot without touching it. The foot of the Scotch is high and thick; that of the Irish is flat and square; the English short and fleshy. When Athens was in her zenith the Grecian foot was the most perfectly formed and exactly proportioned of that of any of the human race, says Woman's Life. Swedes, Norwegians and Germans have the largest feet; Americans the smallest. Russian toes are "webbed" to the first joint. Tartarian toes are all the same length. Always Something New. There will always be something new to say about women as long as one is left among us. Man would always walk straight ahead if he did not meet a woman at each step. She is a charming traveling companion, but one who does not know her way, and she prevents us from seeing ours. To ascertain the age of a woman it is necessary to ask her and to ask her best friend. She will say thirty, the friend will say forty, and then you take the average. Women who excite in our minds merely an exclamation of admiration are like Racine's tragedies—too perfect. One prefers those who excite interrogation points, says Life. The heart of a woman is at once her friend and her enemy. Some of the French ladies do not understand at all the prohibition in London on what they consider dinner dress. There is one little French actress now playing in London who, as one of her first experiences in the British capital, was taken out to supper, and to do honor to the occasion, put on her largest and most gorgeous hat. Her escort looked at it doubtfully, but hoped for the best. She was stopped at the sacred portals of a restaurant, and was asked to remove her hat. What this means to a lady only those can tell who have been to matinees and have seen the display of temper when a whole row of ladies in the stalls have been told that the people behind cannot see the stage. The little actress made a gallant attempt to be allowed to retain her headgear. She announced to the polite gentleman at the door that she was a Mohammedan, and offered to take off her shoes if only she were allowed to retain her hat. The mighty hat, however, had to be removed.—Bellman. Getting Ready to Marry. Somebody frankly confided to me not long ago that she has found her marriage a dreary failure, and can you imagine why? "My husband," she said, "is honest and hard-working and never denies me anything that his means can supply, but he does not pay me compliments and bring me roses. He seems to take my love for granted and expects me to be satisfied, because he, once for all, told me that he loved me. I find life very flavorless." My observation leads me to conclude, writes Margaret E. Sangster in the Philadelphia Press, that when a young woman gets ready to marry she should determine to avoid this particular shoal in the current. A bright, captivating sweetheart should make a bright and fascinating wife, not jealous or exacting, but able to retain her husband's adoration. She should not too readily or too soon forego homage, or too lightly drop into a mere commonplace in a good man's common day. Wedding Cards. Whenever the engraved invitations hear the letters R. S. V. P. an answer must be made at once. This is sometimes done on, cards of invitation to a reception, that the host may have some idea of how many persons to provide for. Such a response should be made formally, in the third person, for instance: "Mr. and Mrs. Jones accept with pleasure Mr. and Mrs. Smith's kind invitation to the wedding reception of their daughter on December the first." When there is a church wedding and no reception it is expected that the bride will be called upon, when one knows where she is, unless "At Home" cards have been sent out and one has been omitted from the list. This is equivalent to declaring that the bride does not care for one's acquaintance. Becore accepting this cut, however, one cannot take too much pains to be sure that the omission was accidental and not designed, and in any case the parents should be called upon. Cards announcing the wedding of a friend must always be acknowledged by posting visiting cards at once to those issuing the invitation, not to the bride. One calls upon the bride when she is "at home." True courtesy and politeness do not delay in making simple and proper acknowledgments within the time specified, and failure to do so dubs one either ignorant or careless. —New York Globe. The Rebuke Courteous. "Some people are so sensitive! So and so is put out at me because I corrected her for a fault, and I did it in the most perfect kindness." "In perfect kindness." Did she? Let us see. Did she first make sure of her facts, sure that she was not either mistaken or overcritical in estimating the fault-itself. Did she next make sure that every bit of selfishness of heart was absent from her own mood? Then, as to time and place—did she choose them rightly? They are such difficult things to select, those two. There are so many wrong times, when another person is tired, unhappy, discouraged, and the rebuke becomes merely the "last straw" of all. And so to the place, surely one cannot correct another in that other person's own house. For it is hardly a courtesy toward one's hostess, or a fit return for hospitality, and there is an unwritten law that forbids the hostess from wounding the feelings of the guest who is her mercy, or under her protection. You see it is a difficult thing. Between people of the same age it is almost too difficult to be attempted, for perfect kindness would say: "Patience, and charity, and trust a little longer yet! Example is better than precept!" And praise has inspiration in it. "I have remembered all my life," said a very gracious and graceful woman, "how my grandmother said to me once—thoughtless little harum-scarum that I was—I enjoy so much hearing you say, "Thank you," dear," for when you say it you seem such a thoughtful little girl!" That was pre-eminently the rebuke "in perfect kindness."—Forward. NEWEST FASHIONS Black, tan and green quills trim an old-blue felt hat of French origin. Tunic effects are as popular as the distinct and separate over-drapery. The special feature marked in the new fabrics is the prevalence of stripes. Hats loosely draped with chiffon or painted gauze scarfs are very prominent. A toilet was arranged to represent autumn in shades of copper, flame and dead orange. Importers and modises appear to be very confident that velvet is to have a great vogue. Gowns are not made of yellow or purple, but of "bloom of apricots" or daffodil materials.

THE SOUTH HAS JUST FINISHED ONE OF THE GREATEST CHANNEL-MAKING UNDERTAKINGS IN HISTORY New Jetties Ready For Big Ships----Lower Mississippi Gets One of World's Deepest Harbors. THIS ADVANCED WESTERN SCHOOL HAS A CLASS IN WOOING Courtship Formally Adopted as a Course in Illinois Town and Has 23 Pupils--Some of the Subjects That Will Be Taught. New Orleans, La.—One of the greatest channel making undertakings in the history of American river improvement will be brought nearly to completion when the jetties at the mouth of the Southwest Pass of the Mississippi River are finished. These jetties, after some dredging between them is completed, will give the South one of the deepest harbors in the world by openings to the access of the largest steamships afloat the 100 and 200 foot depths of the lower Mississippi River. The harbor thus made accessible has ample water connection with at least two dredging bodies the Mississippi and its tributaries the Ohio, the Missouri, the Arkansas and the Red rivers. About $6,000,000 is being spent on this improvement by the United States Government, which has the work in charge. The new jettles were begun four years ago. They are on a larger scale and more substantial than the famous jetties at the Mississippi's South Pass, an outlet which for more than thirty years has beet the river's commercial entrance. They are nearly parallel walls, one about three and the other about four miles long, lying more than half a mile apart and built in the shoal water at the juncture of the Pass with the Gulf of Mexico. Their purpose is to confine and thus accelerate the river's current across a mud bar about three miles broad, so as to produce a channel at least 1000 feet wide, with a minimum depth of thirty-five feet. The swift current which they have produced, alided by dredging, even before their completion, has caused a tremendous scour and has already made fifty to eighty-five feet of water in some places, where at the beginning of the work the depth was only a little over a man's head. To make the uniform contract depth there is still in several spots about, ten feet of mud to be removed. It is expected that the high water due within a few weeks will sweep the remaining mud deposits out to sea by the beginning of next summer. Probably few walls ever have been constructed under greater difficulties than were these jetties. They are made of willow, scantling, stone and concrete. Although in some places the water is deep and although their greatest depth is barely fifteen feet, they have cost $2,700,000. Every material entering into their construction has been brought from distances of one hundred to five hundred miles. The jetties have no foundation, but rely for stability upon their extremely broad bases, being from 100 to 150 feet wide at the bottom. In contrast to this great width of base, the concrete capping which forms Greenville, Ill.—Professor H. G. Russell, superintendent of the High School, has introduced instruction in lovemaking into the school curriculum. Parents of some of the pupils declare they do not want their children's thoughts turned so early to love, but Professor Russell and his wife, who is his assistant, say they will see the experiment through. Russell thinks in time courtship will be taken out of the realm of empiricism and lifted into the realm of exact science as chemistry followed alchemy. Twenty-three pupils, ten of whom are girls, constitute the first class in the world to receive formal instruction in courtship. Professor Russell has given them three lectures and they have written essays. The instruction will be chiefly through study of the literature of love, includ- British Government Orders Hallfax, N.

The government has instructed agents to stop all efforts to induce immigration to Canada, add an extensive advertising campaign setting forth the advantages of the country has been the top of the jetties, and which is the work receiving its finishing touches this week, is only a few feet wide. The capping is a sea wall four and one-half feet high and is the only portion of the jetties not interrupted. The wall weighs between two and three tons to each linear foot. The submerged structure supporting this mass of concrete is made almost entirely of willow poles and brush. With the aid of frame works of scantling the willows were formed into so-called mattresses—broad, flat structures resembling bed mattresses in form—each about two feet thick, 200 feet long and varying in width from thirty-five to 150 feet. The mattresses were sunk one above the other, with the widest at the bottom and those above uniformly diminishing in width as they approached the surface. The topmost mattresses are uniformly so narrow as the floor, and on a level with the surface of the water. Heavy broken stone was spread evenly over the mattresses to sink them, so that a layer of stone rests between each of these willow structures. The greatest number of supersimposed mattresses is five. The Mississippi has done some interesting work in addition to scouring out a channel, for it has made the mattresses practically indestructible to any normal agency of nature in this region by burying them under hundreds of tons of mud. These deposits follow closely the contour of the jetties, in conjunction with which they form new banks of the river. The only change likely to occur in the jetties is their gradual sinking, until in time the concrete capping entirely disappears. This sinking already has occurred to the jetties at South Pass. In the course of many years a new bar may form by slit deposits in the Gulf in the new deep water beyond the mouth of the jetties, and then the remedy will be the extension of the jetties a short distance further. The rate of bar extension during nearly seventy-five years preceding the starting of the jetties was between 150 and 250 feet annually, and the deposits responsible for this advance were made when conditions, now greatly changed, favored such accretions. Part of the $6,000,000 allotted to making the channel is being spent in safeguards several miles above the jetties to prevent any increase in the flow of other large outlets from the main river to the Gulf. This is being accomplished by placing stone covered mattress sills on the river bottom across the entrances to those outlets.

For ourselves, we can imagine no worse punishment for persons who value privacy and intimacy and homeiness, and the peculiar arrangement, or even disarrangement, of their own belongings, than to be condemned to pass the term of their natural lives in a great hotel. The marble halls, which once seemed grand, would become a nightmare of grandiosity. The loneliness of a man among the unceasing multitude of strangers would become intolerable. The graces of the cookery—as they once seemed—would become familiar tricks and a hollow imposture. Life would become a circus without tinsel, a stage without limelight, gingerbread without gilt. We have known an old man who had lived for many years in the same hotel, and he had all the fads and crotchets and selfishness of the worst old fogy in a club. Indeed, he had many more, and worse, for a clubman is restrained by the opinion, if not by the protests, of his fellows; but an old resident in a hotel can hardly be moved, from insisting on more than his rights by the combined criticism of all the strangers whose opinion is nothing to him.—London Spectator. A Sacred Ram's Sad Lot. That the lot of those animals which were treated as gods in ancient Egypt was not altogether blissful was amply proved by an autopsy performed in Paris on the mummy of a sacred ram recently discovered in the Island of Elephantine. It was found that the backbone of the poor beast was almost completely solidified. This and other indications, such as the condition of its hoofs, tends to show that the ram was deprived of all movement throughout many years. The discovery throws instructive light on the conditions to which Egyptian platy condemned the living objects of popular veneration. The business of being a god was evidently anything but gay. Promoted to this high dignity and in consequence closely imprisoned for life in the twilight of a sanctuary, the ram probably discovered, even in those dark ages, that glory was not worth while. —New York Times.

"I told him I felt sure his sickness was due to coffee, and after some discussion he decided to give it up. "It was a struggle, because of the powerful habit. One day we heard about Postum and concluded to try it, and then it was easy to leave off coffee. "His fearful headaches grew less frequent, his complexion began to clear, kidneys grew better until at last he was a new man altogether, as a result of leaving off coffee and taking up Postum. Then I began to drink it. too. "Although I was never as bad off as my husband, I was always very nervous and never at any time very strong, only weighing 95 lbs, before I began to use Postum.

I have successfully, fooled a great many persons, who have drunk it at my table. They, would remark, 'You must buy a high grade of coffee.'

POTTER. Brooklyn, N. Y.—The Rt. Rev. Henry C. Potter, Bishop of New York, preached in St. Ann's Church on the Heights: Sunday. His subject was "The Church and the Labor Question," and for his text he took the two passages: St. Luke 2:10 to 14 (R. V.): "And the multitude asked Him what then must we do? He answered and said unto them, 'He that hath two coats let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food let him do likewise.' And there came also publicans to be baptized and they said unto Him; 'Master, what must we do?' And He said unto them, 'Exact no more than that which is appointed you.' And the soldiers also asked Him, saying, 'What must we do?' and He said unto them, 'Extort from no man by violence; neither accuse any one wrongfully; and be content with yourselves.' And St. Matthew 11:2 to 7: "New when John heard in prison the works of Christ he sent to his disciples and said unto Him: Art Thou He who should come or look we for another?" And Jesus answered and said unto them, 'Go your way and tell John the things which ye see; the blind receive their sight and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up and the poor have the good tidings preached to them; and blessed is he who shall find no occasion of stumbling in Me." Bishop Potter said: I wonder if it has ever occurred to you to ask yourselves the question, how far the absolute incidents of the gospels are a witness to their truth? There are incidents like that which must present itself to you in connection with John the Baptist, and that other which occurs at the close of St. Matthew's and St. Luke's gospels in connection with Peter which make us feel that if any one were writing a book in which he desired to present to us simply a favorable impression of this or that man there are certain things in the gospels which would have been left out. Nothing is finer, for example, in its way, than the language of John the Baptist in connection with the coming to him in the desert of the people, and of the solitary and humble man who rest. It is a singularly direct and explicit way in which he lays down to each group what should be the law of their life. And it is entirely another man, if we stop and think a moment, whom we encounter in the gospel for the third Sunday in Advent: "Art Thou He that should come? Really, I do not know whether you are or not." That is the implication of the words, and I can imagine an unbeliever using these words as a very effective argument against the belief of John the Baptist in the divine claims of Jesus. Here is a man who has been sent as the forerunner of Jesus, who had baptized Jesus, who was profoundly persuaded of the mission and truth and divine character of Jesus, and yet there comes a moment in his life when he says: "Well, really, I am not clear about you. You claim to be the Messiah. You have appeared to this nation and to this era in the history of the world with a revelation of the Supreme Force in the world. Art Thou He who should come?" But the fine thing about these two texts is the fact that each one of them is a distinct and explicit witness to that thing of which you and I are perfectly conscious in ourselves. That is, that every man and every woman is made up of two men and two women; that there are types of character which are so contradictory and so unlike each other that abstractly we should say they are absolutely irreconcilable and yet they belong to the same person, influenced by different circumstances and challenged by different perplexities. There can be no doubt as to the impressions which had been made by the teaching and life of Jesus upon John the Baptist in the words I have read. John, in other words, grasped and selzed with singular clearness and force the fact that here in the advent of Jesus there had entered the world an absolutely new law in the conception of life and of the individual's relations to other lives about him. Go back to the beginning of civilization and trace step by step to this hour and you will be amazed to find how largely they built on the compilations and philosophies of caste. My brother (Dr. Alsop) might make an interesting sermon upon the tragic and dramatic forces of caste in India, whose religions it would be well to remember are older than ours. In other words, the moment that barbarism begins to lift itself by organization, by the creation of the governing society, it differentiateates barbarism from civilization. It begins also to emphasize the distinction of caste. Do you know that to-day a Pariah, one of the classes in India, cannot walk on the sidewalk of the street after $3\mathrm{o}$clock in the afternoon because it is possible that this Pariah, whose touch is defilement, might brush against a Brahmin?. In other words, the Brahmin has pushed the theory of the isolation of the caste to that point where he cannot allow one not of the same caste to walk on the same side of the street with him. When I was in India I asked a Hindu on a boat on the Hoogly River to sit down and eat with me, and he turned as if I had struck him and said: "My caste forbids; I cannot eat with you because you are a Christian." Now, Jesus came and John the Baptist sees first of all that He had struck at the foundation, at the system of the theory of caste. The theory of caste carried with it the right of certain privileged people to maintain a certain autocratic and imperious sovereignty over the lives and property of others. "No," said John, having been long enough in the presence of his Master to grasp that greatness of his power, and to say, "no, you and I, the soldier and the tax gatherer and the men who pay taxes, and, all the rest, are one family in the family, of God, and in your relations to due another you must govern yourselves by the law of equity and not by the power which comes into your hands because of any mere caste inheritance whatever your office or place may be in caste inheritance of power over another.” The believers in the religion of Jesus Christ were slow to grasp that truth. John the Baptist himself began to doubt whether Christ had come to create a new system under which men should sustain new relations to each other. “Art Thou He who should come? If so, why don't you strike at the foundation of this concrete, ecclesiastical-political-social order of which you and I are a part?” Now, we come to the great truth which Jesus strives to get to the minds of His disciples: “Go tell John the things you have seen.” What was the definition of the Master's method? That He put into human society an absolutely new conception of the relation of man to man and left it as a seed. He did not deal with the miseries of society, as you and I are often tempted to deal with them. He did not dismiss the blind and the lame and the rest out of His sight and teaching. He dealt with them four-square, and relieved them. He translated the mind and the heart of God to the consciousness of man and he made them realize at last that His religion was in the world to be a recreative force. First of all, beginning at the individual heart and life and then bringing about the reconstruction of society because of the different way in which men regarded each other. That brings me to the subject on which I have been specially asked to speak to-night. You and I, whether we are disposed to like the situation or not, and most of us resent it as an insufferable imprintiness, are confronted in this republic, and in this twentieth century, with incomparably the most tremendous problem, in its relation to the right construction of human society, with which the republic has yet had to deal, and that problem is the problem of the unification of the ideas and sympathies and purposes and aims of men, and you cannot go home to-night and lay your head upon your pillow without being conscious, whether you choose to acknowledge it or not, that there is in the depths of poverty and want and shame all about you a profound social discontent, and that there are earnest and able men (let us be just, although we don't love them), who are deeply persuaded that there can be no peace in human society unless that peace is wrought by the absolute convolution of principles which are precious and beautiful and dignified in human society. They say the whole social fabric must be pulled down and thrown to the ground and the man who stands in the way of that must be got out of the way. Now, the question which confronts you and me is: How are we to deal with this state of mind and what are we to do to remedy it? We know that if such a social revolution were to come to pass to-morrow it would be attended by cruel and brutal indignities and that the guardianship of the family and the safety of the State itself would be imperiled. Our social problem here in America, and especially those problems which involve our relations to the men who work with their hands, are not to be solved by revolution, but by quite another revolution. First of all we are to recognize the situation, the tremendous convolution, the transformation I may venture to call it, which has come to pass in the workingman's life by the invention of machinery, by the building up of great central forces for the employment of men under conditions which separate him absolutely from the master whom he serves. The workman is as absolutely unknown to the man or the corporation—and it is often a corporation—who employs him as if he lived in Dahomey. It is along these lines, whether you choose to recognize it or not, that danger lies; and the church's relation to that problem is one, after all, which is in the hands of every one to whom I am speaking. How much do you know of the life of the workingman? How much time have you given to understanding it or to soften it or to inspire it? It is not the giving of money, or the creation of charitable institutions that builds up the feeling of brotherhood among men. The poor man resents our condescension. He does not want that or your gold; he wants recognition of his manhood. The shop girl wants you to honor her womanhood; to respect her in the task in which she is tolling and suffering. You can do much to make that task easier and create an atmosphere in which she and you can move alike agemembers of the same divine society and fellow soldiers under the same Master. That brings into view the relation of the church to these great social problems. You and I somehow or other must bring the man who works with his hands to recognize his place, his right, his office, his calling in the church of God. The first business of the church is to place her houses of worship at the service of the people who work with their hands and then in the life of the church to encourage that spirit which will help us to understand and to serve it. There is but one way to do it. Indeed, it is to my "ism" of the hour or theory of social reconstruction, or any new philosophy which undertakes to re-create society upon theories which are essentially barbaric in their nature, you and I must go back and look into the face of the Master and find in Him the secret of our service and our triumph. A Prayer. Soul of our souls, Thou to whom we turn for life and health, inspire and quicken us, and by our worship prepare us for our work. Give us a steadfast spirit, a heart enslaved by no appetite or passion, a will guided by wisdom and firm for the right. Give power to work and power to wait. mercifully look upon our infirmities and those evils, which by our frailty, our sin, or our ignorance we have invited, turn from us. Transform evil into good. Out of mortal weakness bring forth immortal strength. May the fire purify, and not consume; and, when we pass through the rivers, may they not overwhelm us. Stay with us from dawn till eventide. Should the way be rough and gloomy, may we put our hand in Thine, and, if we are led out into the dark, still let us hold fast by Thee, and cast away fear. In the crush and clang of life, may a blessed calm often visit us; telling that a Holy Ghost has entered in, and will not leave us till we bid Him go. Amen—P. E. Vizard. Morris Sellers Largey, the young Montana millionaire who is devoting himself to the theatrical business, said at a dinner apropos of his new theatre in New York: "I think that theatricals offer a fine field for shrewd investors. They are very steady. They are not as the slave trade was during the Civil War. "Perhaps you have board of the slave who wanted to buy his freedom. This was before the war, and since he was a very good slave, his master would not sell him to himself at any price. "But as the war approached its end the master not naturally changed his mind. He sent for the slave one morning, and asked him if he was still of the same mind about purchasing himself. "The slave scratched his head, looked at the ground and faltered: "Well, Master Henry, Ah did wanter buy, myself, but Ah been a-studyin' erbout it right smart lately, sah, an' Ah done to be' de clusion dat in dese times niggah propty am too onsartin' sah, to put any money in."—Washington Star. "There are two traits about the American Indian that civilization and contact with his white brothers cannot overcome," said Frank L.-Campbell, who has spent several years as a school teacher among the Sioux and has learned to know them well. "Those peculiarities are his aversion to paper money and his appetite for dog. An Indian will never take paper money if he can avoid it. He wants, in the language of the Sioux, 'muzza ska," which translated means white iron. The red man cannot bring himself to believe that a small piece of printed paper can be worth as much or more than the metal itself. Strange to say, an Indian would also rather have ten silver dollars than one ten dollar gold piece.

DOCTOR SAID "USE CUTICURA" For Bad Case of Eczema on Child—Disease Had Reached a Fearful State—Order Resulted in Cure. "When I was small I was troubled with eczema for about three months. It was all over my face and covered nearly all of my head. It reached such a state that it was just a large scab all over, the pain and itching were terrible. I doctored with an able physician for some time and was then advised by him to use the Cuticura Remedies, which I did and I was entirely cured. I have not been bothered with it since. I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, but do not know exactly how much was used to complete the cure. Miss Anabel Wilson, North Branch, Mich., Oct. 20, 07."

Medical treatment failed to cure suffering some months ago with frequent attacks of hard pain in the back, kidneys and bladder and the kidney secretions were irregularly scanty, or profuse. Medical treatment failed to cure him. "At last," says Mr. Wood, "I began using Doan's kidney Pills, and before one box was gone, I went through four days of intense pain, finally passing a stone, one-half by five-sixteeths of an inch in diameter. I haven't had a sign of kidney trouble since." Sold by all dealers, 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Are you good enough to criticise those who are bad?

MISS ANNIE CATRON, 297 Main St., Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: "As I have found Perma's blessing for a severe case of catarrh of the head and throat which I suffered from for a number of years, I am only too pleased to give it my personal endorsement. Catarrh, such as I suffered from, made life more difficult, my breath was offensive, stomach bad, and my head stopped up so that I was usually troubled with a headache, and although I tried many so-called remedies, nothing gave me permanent relief. I was rather discouraged with all medicines when Perma was suggested to me. However, did buy a bottle, and before it finished there was a marked change in my condition. Much encouraged I kept on until I was completely cured in, a month's time, and I find that my general health is also excellent." People who prefer solid medicines should try Peruna tablets. Each tablet represents one average dose of Peruna. Man-a-lin the Ideal Laxative. Ask Your Druggist for Free Peruna Almana for 1908. Much that passes for patience is simply seed. Why Sloan's Liniment and Veterinary Remedies Are the Best to Use. Let me tell you why Sloan's Liniment and Veterinary Remedies are the safest and most practical on the market today. In the first place, Dr. Earl S. Sloan is the son of a veterinary surgeon, and from his earliest infancy he was associated with horses. He bought and sold horses while yet very young. He practised as a veterinary for twenty years, and has battled successfully with every disease to which that animal is subject. All his remedies are the result of experiments made to save life or relieve suffering while he was practising his profession. Any reader, by writing to Dr. Earl S. Sloan, 615 Albany street, Boston, Mass., will receive "Sloan's Treatise on the Horse," free. This book tells how to treat horses, cattle, hogs and poultry.

Let us sing this sweet chorus all over Georgia: The Central City College and land CAUSE OF TOBACCO WAR. Real Anlmus of Raids by "Night Riders" in Kentucky is to thwart the Tobacco Trust. A Louisville, Ky., special says: The raid on Russellville, Ky., early Fri- New York City.—Mandarin sleeves of the modified sortare always charmingly graceful and are to be extensively, worn, throughout the season. Illustrated is an exceptionally attract- THE ive blouse that shows them used to advantage and which includes many of the newest fancies of fashion. The gulme* portion is made with a voke of lace and the over blouse provides long and becoming lines, while the sleeves are shaped to be very generally becoming and graceful. As illustrated crepe de Chine is combined with gulme portions of chiffon in matching color and heavy lace and is trimmed with velvet ribbon and heavy lace upholster. Almost every material that is adapted to indoor gowns is appropriate, however, and volle, marquisette and the many beautiful Liberty fabrics are all especially to be commended. The contrasting yoke allows of various combinations and would be handsome made of silk braided with southache if something a bit more substantial than lace is wanted. The blouse is made with a lining and this lining is faced to form the yoke, while over it it is arranged the full portions of the guimpe. The over waist is made in two pieces, backs and fronts being, cut in one with the sleeves, and is laid in pleats over the shoulders. The full or guimpe, sleeves are joined to the lining and are finished with straight bands. There is a basque portion attached to the lower edge that serves to keep the blouse in place and which does away, with all bulk below the waist line. All Black Hats Worn. From the number of black hats worn, it is evident that chic all black hats will be much seen this autumn, worn with light-colored cloth or velvet gowns, and nothing is more effectively becoming to the, generosity of women. With the Panamas. Linen collars or stocks, pleated but not frilled lawn fronts, drilled chamois, leather or simply striped, silk waistcoats accompany panama shaped felt hats in rich shades of moss or myrtle green, navy tricornes or Type-lean shapes trimmed with galloon or a knot of soft silk: Separate Tailored Waist. The fashionable separate waist is to be tailored. Blouse or Shirt Waist. Every fresh variation of the shirt waist can be relied upon to meet with a hearty welcome. The garment is such an essential one that no woman thinks of being without a generous number and novelty in cut and style is sure to please. This one is entirely distinctive and fresh and is well adapted to waisting flannels as well as to taffeta and washable material. Also the fashionable stripes make a good effect when so made. As illustrated the material is one of the new Scotch flannels simply stitched with belding silk, but cashmere and henrietta as well as taffeta are much to be commended, while no better model could be found for the madras and linen waists, which many women wear throughout the entire year. The little revers at the front are exceedingly smart in effect, yet involve no difficulty, either in the making or the laundering, and the yoke at the back can be used or omitted as is found most becoming. The sleeves tucked to form deep cuffs are both novel and pretty, but are not obligatory, as plain ones, gathered, can be substituted. The waist is made with the plain back and tucked fronts and the yoke and panel which are cut in one. The panel is faced and turned back to form the revers and the closing is made at the left of the front. The neck band 'finishes the neck and over it can be worn a linen collar, as illus- J trated, or a stock of matching material. The sleeves are in one piece each, either tucked or gathered at their lower edges, and are joined to the straight cuffs. The quantity of material required 10 for the medium size is four and one-quarter yards twenty-one, three and three-eighth yards twenty-seven or two yards forty-four inches wide. Hat For Morning Wear. A very pretty hat for morning wear has a flat brim of dark reddish brown taffeta; the crown is made of large choux of fringed taffeta, green and brown. The fringe forms a fantailale, which lightens up the hat. Coat of Purple. A stunning coat of purple cloth is completed with an enormously high collar of, gray velvet with a band of embroidered lace. ```markdown ``` AMONG THE MASONS. This week much of our space is taken up with names of officers. As soon as this rush is over we propose to have a symposium of thought from the leading Masonic lights of the country. The manner in which the brethren are taking hold of the relief department is inspiring. It is destined to be a great thing for the order, and of much benefit to the brethren of their beneficaries. The first brother to whom a certificate was issued, to die, is Brother Frank Chester, of Eureka Lodge. While working in the Central railroad yard he was caught between two cars, one of them becoming derailed, and was crushed. He died soon afterwards. His remains were taken to Tehnille, Ga., and given the last sad rites of the order. Worshiful Master George L Binyard accompanied the remains to Tehnille, and is loud in his praise of the officers and members of Tehnille Lodge at that place for the manner in which they acted in arranging all details for the funeral and for turning out'm such large numbers and especially meeting the train at an unusual hour in a down pour of rain and cold. This is a true exemplification of Masonry and what the brethren-of Telybia did, should be emulated by the brethren on every occasion. The officers of Mount Olive Chapter No. 55, O. E. S., were duly installed December 27th by J. P. Smith, Royal Patron of Seven Star Chapter: Sister S. J. Williams, R. M.; Sister Elliza, Wesley, Asso. M.; Brother Henry Newsome, R. P.; Sister Mary L. Moore, Conductress; Sister S. Baker, Asso. Conductress; Sister Lauess May, Treasurer; C. M. Mangram, Secretary. Rev. James P. Tisdal, our Prelate, spoke on what the duty of each in stalled officer is to the Grand Officers; also, P. M., L. C. Brasswell, of Seven Star Lodge, No. 122, was with us and made a very interesting speech on "Quality and Quantity," which was well received. Sister L. C. Brasswell, of Seven Star Chapter, assisted us greatly by being present. We hope they will come again. C. M. MANGRAM, Secretary. The brothers of Euclide LLodge No. 169 enjoyed the most lovely time in the history of our Lodge. We have not even heard of any serious trouble in our county during the Christmas holidays.. The following officers were installed: J. H. Knight, W. M; H. Hines, S. W.; H. Gowens, J. W.; D. Moody, Treasurer; F. L. Jones, Secretary; D. Semonds Tyler. The Order of the Eastern Star installed their officers as follows: Mrs. M. Moody, R. M.; Mrs. M. Balley, A. M.; Brother J. H. Knight, R. P. After the installation refreshments were served. Everybody was made to feel glad. The widows who could not $^{b}$ be out that day were provided for. Enclice Lodge has sent in the majority of her members for policies and intends to send in the balance in a few days. Pearson, Ga., December 28, 1907. Sharon Lodge No. 94, A. F. and A. M., met on the 27th for the purpose of holding its election of officers as follows: A. W. Williamson, W. M.; F. K. Williams, S. W.; James Joseph, J. W.; P. M. G. D. Bryant, Secretary; James Gupton, Treasurer; George Washington, Chaplain; P. M. T. Edwards, S. D.; Mack Jenkins, S. D.; C. J. Graham, Stewart. The officers, were Installed by P. Ms. G. D. Bryant, T. Edwards and R. B. Dayls. G. B. BRYANT. Seven Star Lodge No. 122, of Bladen, Ga., met and installed the following officers: L. C. Brasswell, W. M.; Daniel Saumders, S. W.; A. J. Greenlee, J. W.; W. T. Wilson, Secretary; T. M. Murphy, Treasurer, J. M. Scriven, Tyler, P. M. B. J. Reed, assisted by Past Masters L. C. Brasswell, D. Saunders, J. W. Radford and P. Baker, installed the officers. Seven Star Chapter called on us just before we installed and read its annual report, which made a fine showing and was applauded by all, The R. M., Mrs. Laura Smith, lectured a little on the objects and alms of the Chapter. It was elevating and grand, just the thing for our women. May, God help Sister Smith and all who are trying to foster such a noble cause. Rev. D. Saunders gave us one of his fine and able speeches on the principles of the Chapter. It was very inspiring, after which they called off and we proceeded to install as stated above. We were lectured to by Past Master L. C. Brasswell, B. A. Reld and J. W. Radford, All were good and well received. Fraternally, Mt. Lebanon Lodge No. 85 Installed its officers December 27th. We had a fine time. The Masons in our vicinity are taking on new life, while there are some who wanted, to fight Endowment. But they had to submit to the majority who stood firm for its success. Mount Lebanon Lodge made no mistake when it elected Brother L. W. Rountree for its W. M. Brother Rountree is easily the greatest personality among the Ma sons in the country, and the point of his genius has already been felt in our affairs. We will send in our membership fee to the Relief Association in a few days. Say, Brother Johnson, send the Tribune to the undersigned, the Lodge will pay for it. Hickory Lodge No. 260 held its election and installation on December 27th. Following are the officers: B. J. Greer, W. M.; C. J. Jenkins, S. W.; W. M. Brown, J. W.; L. H Hunter, Treasurer; D. D. Daniel, Secretary. Brother Greer has proven himself to be a true Mason and is beloved by his members. He has done much for the progress of the Lodge. All of the brethren expressed themselves at the installation that they will do more for the Order this year than ever before. The brethren were especially elated over the Relief Association and pledged themselves to make their Lodge lead so far as loyalty is concerned. East Gate Lodge No. 206 elected the following officers: Peter Coley, W. M.; Eugene Davis, S. W.; J. E. Robinson, J. W.; W. H. Murray, Secretary; Harry King, Treasurer; George Mason, S. D²; Sam Mason, J. D.; L. L. Butler, S. S.; Dennis Stafford, J. S.; E. D. Henry, Chaplain, Henry King, Tyler. Each brother at the meeting paid his dollar for the Endowment and are determined to keep it-up. Brother S. M. B. Usry, of Crawfordville, writes that "We had a grand time on the 27th. My Lodge is doing well as any of its age. We set up with ten men and have added to the number twenty-two." This speaks well for one of our baby lodges. Charity Chapter No. 48, O. E. S., at Bagley, installed its officers on December 27th. Past Patron F. D. James did the work as follows: Mrs. L. W. Overstreet, R. M.; Rev. L. H. Lawton, R. P.; Mrs. nnie V. Brown, A. M.; Mrs. Alice James, Treasurer; Mrs. Lavinia Mobley, Secretary; Miss Betsey Boston, Conductress; Mrs. Malinda Lawton, A. C.; Mrs. C. Haywood, Warden; Mrs. Miley Brown, Sentinel. A table well laden with refreshments awaited the members' and they enjoyed the same. The Chapter is in excellent condition and has one of the best Royal Matrons in the state. Slister Overstreet is beloved by all of her members. PEMBROKE NOTES. Masons of Zarah Lodge held their installation at Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, also Zodiac Chapter No. 79. We had a large crowd. J.

Church, East Savannah, Rev. E. C. Johnson, pastor, under the auspices of the Mt. Olive District Sunday School Convention: Mr. President.and Members of the District Convention: My subject is "Our Duty to Central City College and all Institutions of Our Country." Our duty to the schools of our country is first: First, we should attend them. Second. We should support them with our monies. Third. We should do all that's in our power to encourage every member of our race to support these schools. Our duty to Central City College is very close and important. ing of our fathers who now sleep in their grays. I say to the children of this great Baptist family support Central City College because it is your duty to take care of your father's property. Let us sing this sweet chorus all over Georgia: The Central City College and land Was planted by a noble man, And we, his children, that's well known Will vote and carry the college on. Come every friend to light and knowledge, And vote for Central City College, For on the fifth Lord's day in March, The rally flag will be hoist. Come boys and girls and run the race, The prize is just before your face; That school that leads both country and town, I am sure that they will wear the crown. From Macedonia Baptist Sunday School, Rev. M. Battle, pastor, in memory of our sleeping father who now sleeps in death, Rev. E. K. Love. D. D. MERRY CHRISTMAS AT FOLKSTON. The industrious people of Folkston, Ga., had a grand Christmas tree on Christmas eve night at the Mount Carmel Baptist Church. The opening address were made by Miss Ella Malone, followed by a train of speakers which were about the number of fifty or sixty. Girls and boys began to sing and speak from those days of Bethlehem where Christ was born.

Upon the request of a large number of creditors of the company, Judge J. J. Klimsey, of the northeastern circuit at Cornelia, Ga., Monday morning, appointed W. S. Erwin, former general manager of the company, and L. R. Adams, present chief clerk to the superintendent, temporary receivers of the Tallulah Falls railroad, the hearing to come up January 25th. It is stated in the bill that the road is hopeless insolvent. The Tallulah Falls railroad extends north from Cornellia, Ga., to Orlando, N. C., a distance of about 75 miles. It passes through Habersham and Rabun counties, Georgia, and enters North Carolina through Rabun Gap. Its bonded indebtedness is between one and two millions; floating debt between forty and fifty thousand. Receivers are ordered to operate the road as usual.

A Louisville, Ky., special says: The raid on Russellville, Ky., early Friday morning by Night Riders, which resulted in the destruction of nearly $100,000 worth of property and the wounding of three persons; the refusal Saturday of the tobacco growers at a meeting in Winchester to accept the proposition for the purchase of tobacco and the announced intention of the growers to proceed against the American Tobacco company in the courts, following Governor Wilson's statement that the lawless element will be severely dealt with, have brought to an acute stage a condition which has existed in Kentucky and Tennessee for years. Recent conferences at Frankfort, between a representative of the American Tobacco company and the tobacco growers have resulted only in transferring the matter to the head of the company in New York for consideration. The situation is the result of a flight of the growers of tobacco against the American Tobacco company and other purchasers, and the complications are best explained by the following recounted sequence of events in chronological order: First: The apparent passing of the leaf tobacco market in Kentucky and Tennessee into the control of the American Tobacco company, with the subsequent elimination of nearly all the middlemen or independent tobacco buyers and rehandlers. Second: The awakening of the farmers to the situation, and the formation by them of the American Society of Equity and the two subsidiary organizations, the Burley (light-colored leaf) Tobacco association and the Dark Tobacco association, with the purpose of pooling and holding their crops until they could obtain what they claimed would be a fair price from the American Tobacco company and affiliated concerns. Third: The failure of the attempt by the farmers' societies to win over a sufficient majority of the growers of tobacco in their pooling plan to enable them to immediately compel the company to pay the price demanded. Fourth: Ostracism and petty persecution directed against so-called "independents"—the farmers who were unwilling or unable to pool and hold their crops of tobacco, and who sold to the "trust." Fifth: Whipping, of tobacco buyers and farmers who sold their crops; destruction of beds of young tobacco plants; burning of tobacco barns containing the harvested crops of independents; shooting into homes, and the wounding of innocent persons, among them being women; the warning of refractory independents to leave the country. Sixth: The culmination of the mob spirit in bold attacks, on Princeton, Hopkinstaville and Russellville, towns of from 4,000 to 10,000 inhabitants, which raids resulted in the dynamiting and burning of tobacco warehouses controlled by the American Tobacco company; the killing of several of the raiders, the wounding of a number of citizens and the destruction of property owned by innocent neutrals because, the raiders refused to allow the fire departments to work. As to the claim that the trust forces the grower to accept an unfair price, neither side has produced any figures as to cost of production and farm values in the tobacco districts which would bear out the statements pro or con. The "trust" has suffered the loss of a number of warehouses and their contents, the estimates on the direct gross loss running from $125,000 to $250,000. Fourteen of their warehouses have been closed. This loss, however, undoubtedly falls below the aggregate damage sustained by the men who have refused to join the farmers' associations or pool their crops. Some of them were too independent to be coerced. GOVERNMENT LOSES BIG SUM. Georgia Prohibition Wjll Cut Down Uncle Sam's Revenue $500,000.
