ANTI-LEAK SECTION Added to the Penal Code Bill Pending in House. Persons Who Would Surreptitiously Give Out Crop News to Be Branded as Criminals—Debate Was Enlivened by a Clash. A Washington special says: At the close of a day of excitement in the house of representatives an amendment was added to the penal code bill Tuesday making it a criminal offense for any officer or employee of the government to give out advance information regarding any crop statistics authorized by law to be prepared. The original amendment was by Mr. Burle son of Texas, who made a strong plea for its passage, but a substitute by Mr. Sherley of Kentucky, with a brief addition by Mr. Olmstead of Pennsylvania was accepted. The necessity for its adoption was conceded by nearly every member who addressed the house and its safe running of the gauntlet was greeted with applause. The amendment was as follows: "Whoever, being an officer or an employee of the United States or a person acting for or on behalf of the United States in any capacity, under or by virtue of the authority of any department or officer thereof, and while holding such office, employment or position, shall, by virtue of the office, employment or position held by him, become possessed of any information which might exert an influence upon or affect the market value of any product of the soil grown within the United States, which information is, by law or by the rules and practices of the department or office, required to be with- held from publication until a fixed time and shall willfully impart, directly or indirectly, such information or any part thereof, to any person not entitled under the law or the rules and practices of the department or office to receive the same, or shall, before such information is made public through regular official channels, directly or indirectly, speculate in any such product respecting which he has thus become possessed of such information by buying or selling the same in any quantity, shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both. Earlier in the day interest attached to a tilt between Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania and Mr. Randell of Texas on the latter's amendment prohibiting senators or members of the house being employed by public service corporations. Believing that Mr. Randell had insinuated that he represented such corporations at this time, Mr. Dalzell grew indignant and declared that he had not been employed in such capacity for twenty years. The climax of the debate came when Mr. Clark of Missouri announced, amidst thunderous democratic applause, that William J. Bryan would be nominated at the Denver convention, while Mr. Boutell of Illinois aroused the members on his side of the house to a high pitch of enthusiasm by stating that Speaker Cannon would be the republican nominee at Chicago in June. VOL. XXIII. After the Dalzell-Randell colloquy, Mr. Payne of New York, the minority leader, denounced the Randell amendments. He said he had full confidence in the character of the men sent to congress. He said they were picked men, of intelligence and integrity. "And," said Mr. Payne, with a degree of sarcasm, "I don't like to see a gentleman who happens to have a seat here get up with an amendment like this that casts a slur upon gentlemen that hold places in this honorable body seeking to prevent them ever engaging even in the average and ordinary avocations in life." UNITED MINE WORKERS MEET. Retiring President Mitchell Makes Hit in Farewell Speech. The United Mine Workers of America held its annual session at Indianapolis Tuesday. Perhaps the most eloquent speech retiring President John Mitchell ever made in his life was at the afternoon session, when he declined to accept a personal gift of $2,700 tendered him by the miners of Montana and Wyoming as a token of their appreciation of his efforts to make their condition better. The Would Have Churches and Saloons Work Hand In Hand for Better Control of Whisky Exil The Model License League, a new organization, opened its first annual session at Loulsaville, Ky., Tuesday, with a good attendance of delegates present from many parts of the United States. The object of the convention is the adoption of a liquor license law and the inauguration of a campaign for its enactment by various legislatures and city governments. The law will have for its purpose the elimination of loy saloons; the removal of the saloon from politics by placing the proprietors out of the reach of the bosses and the restriction of the number of saloons to conform to a certain standard of population. The delegates included legislators, brewers, distillers, state and city officials and publicists. At the afternoon session Rev. William J. Wasson of Riverhead, L. I., was introduced by President Gilmore. The Rev. Wasson began by saying that it is high time for the church people who are not extremists to take a hand and settle the liquor question on a rational basis. He said that he believed this to be a step in, the right direction, and he hoped ministers of the gospel of all denominations would be wise enough and foresighted enough to see the question in the same light. "The church can no longer afford to have its name exploited in the manner in which it is being used by the prohibitionists," said the Rev. Wasson. "The church cannot acquiesce in the prohibitionist sentiment that a man cannot be a good Christian and handle or drink liquor. The church and the prohibitionists are as far apart as the poles." The Rev. Wasson said that the question of drinking in moderation is one of individual conscience. He declared that the prohibitionists are puritanical, and that the puritan is a "manufacturer and wholesale dealer in artificial sin." "The prohibitionist believes in the fetish of the law," said the Rev. Wasson. "If there is anything wrong anywhere, all that is needed, according to his belief, is a law against it. Intemperance can never be removed by the policeman's club, or the sheriff's warrant. I am opposed to the whole prohibition philosophy, because I think it is an outrageous infringement of human rights. "The real question before the American people today is 'What kinds of saloons shall we have?' Shall we have open, legitimate saloons or underground dives and dens?" "I believe that the church and the liquor trade should stand shoulder to shoulder in this great fight. We need each other. There must be co-operation, without interference with the liberties and rights of American citizens." Frank H. Farris, a state senator from Missouri, spoke after the Rev. Wasson. He said that he is not a manufacturer or a dealer, and therefore should properly come in the category as a "consumer." He said that he is opposed constitutionally to prohibition, because it is a prohibition is a sham, and that the onl deprivation of rights. He declared that prohibition is a sham, and that the only way prohibition could ever be put into effect would be by the government of the United States. STATE ELECTION ON BOOZE Is Planned at Caucus of Democrats in North Carolina Lecolature. The democratic caucus of the state legislature at Raleigh, Tuesday night, determined to entertain a bill providing for a state election in North Carolina on state prohibition. Strong efforts were made by prohibition leaders to get the caucus to agree to favor a bill for state prohibition by legislative enactment, but this failed. ACTS UPON RESOLUTIONS.

Savannah Tribune. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY, JANUARY 25. 1908. IMMIGRATION TALK DEBATE WAS STRENUOUS Extreme Views Expressed, Pro and Con, by Various Members—Inevitable Négro Question Was Brought In. A Washington special says: Unrestrained opportunity to express views on the immigration question was afforded members of the house Monday by a decision, soon after convening, to take up and consider a bill appropriating $250,000 for an immigration station in Philadelphia, and many took advantage of it. The code of laws bill was temporarily slidetracked. Members from both sides of the chamber clamored for recognition, which carried with it the right to speak for an hour. The discussion served to develop violent opposition, led by Mr. Hepburn of Iowa and Mr. Byrd of Mississippi, to certain classes of immigrants coming to the United States, while others made earnest pleas to rhem upon the ground that the prosperity of the country had been advanced because of their presence in this country. The entire session was devoted to the consideration of the bill, which was passed, and at 4:30 p. m. the house adjourned. Condemnation was heaped upon the steamship companies by Mr. Hepburn of Iowa, who said they were responsible for the large immigration to the United States, and the government should not encourage them by increasing their facilities. He had, he said, seen advertisements of steamship companies in Europe holding out false inducements to the ignorant class to go to the United States. The races coming to this country, he declared, were wholly undesirable. Mr. Hepburn further made an impassioned plea for tighter restrictions for immigrants in answer to a question from Mr. Bartholdt, Lir. Hepburn said an immigrant was not a producer or valuable consumer when he cannot have satisfactory wages. His contribution must depend upon whether there is a demand for that labor, "and," he said, "I do not want him to be permitted to glut the market of labor to the detriment of our people that are here." Mr. Burnett of Alabama called attention to the fact that at least one third the number of immigrants that come to this country each year return to their fatherland, taking back with them large sums of money which should have gone to American workmen. The negro question was discussed by Mr. Byrd of Mississippi, who said that the salvation of the south depended upon the negro passing out of that section, and allowing the south to be cultivated by the white people. "Where will you get the white people?" inquired Mr. Cockran. "Oh," replied Mr. Byrd, "they will come flocking from the north and all over the country." If it was desired to impoverish and bankrupt the people of the south he declared, "just bring in a cheap class of labor, and put them in competition with daoges, who can live almost on rats and snakes." Mr. Byrd made a bitter attack on Italian immigrants generally. He did not object, he said, to good stock like the Irish and Germans coming to these shores. He provoked laughter when he remarked that when an Irishman arrived in the United States the first thing he did was to take a drink and then inside of a year he was running the government. Mr. Favort of Louisiana took issue with Mr. Byrd on some of his statements as to the Italians, and said that in Louisiana they had proven desirable citizens. The bill was then passed and the house adjourned. Re-Elected Senator in, Rhode Island Legislature on 85th Ballot. Gov't legislature on 85th Ballot. Former United States Senator Geo. Peabody Wetmore was elected to the United States senate on the first ballot cast in both branches of the Rhode Island general assembly at Providence Tuesday. The days' voting was a continuation of the balloting, which occupied most of the time of the general assembly at the last session, and which at the time of adjournment was still in deadlock. The first ballot Tuesday was the 85th in the contest. A CUT IN WAGES Inaugurated by Southern in Official and Clerical Force. Applies Over Entire System to Higher Departments—Wage-Earners of $50 Per Month and Less, Are Not Affected. The Southern railway, according to well authenticated information, has made a cut of 10 per cent in the salaries of its entire clerical force, extending over the whole system, effective February 1. The reduction applies to every office employee of the system, including officials of the road, who is now receiving a salary above $50 a month. The cut, it is stated, affects all clerks, stenographers, passenger and freight agents, clear up through the official heads of these various departments. So far no reduction has been ordered in the pay of any of the employees of the operating department, such as engineers, firemen, switchmen and the like, and whether a similar reduction is contemplated in this department cannot be learned. So far as the office forces are concerned, however, the reduction ordered is sweeping, and affects every one alike except the men making $50 and under. The Southern first let out a large number of its mechanics, followed that with cutting out a large number of passenger trains and now as a further step toward retrenchment is using the knife on salaries. IN INTEREST OF MORALS Court Is Asked to Clear Court Room When Thaw's Wife Testifies. A series of surprises brought the Thaw trial at New York near a crisis Friday: Both Evelyn Thaw, the wife, and Mrs. William Thaw, the mother of the defendant, were on the witness stand, and just as the former was about to relate anew the story of her life, as she told it to Thaw in Paris in 1903, District Attorney Jerome arose and suggested that in the interest of public morals, all persons save those immediately interested in the case should be excluded from the court room during the recital of what he termed a "horrible tale." The motion included the representatives of newspapers as well as the public generally. Attorney Martin W. Littleton of the deefnse joined in it to shield the young woman from hundreds of curious eyes, and said that so far as the constitutional right to an open hearing was concerned, he was ready to waive that point in any ironclad manner the court might suggest. Proceedings were suspended and decision withheld until Monday. AFTER ALLEGED GRAFTERS. Warrants Out for Directors of Old South Carolina Dispensary. Alleging conspiracy to defraud the state of South Carolina, the state dispensary commission at. Columbia had a warrant issued Friday for about fifteen persons, including M. A. Goodman, the representative of a Baltimore liquor house, who was arrested Thursday. Major Black, a former member of the board of control, was arrested Friday afternoon and later released on a bond of $10,000. Warrants for former Director John Bell Lowell and L. W. Boykin were also sent out for service. The names of other parties wanted are withheld because, it is stated, it is feared their publicity might interfere with their arrest. M. A. Goodman, the whiskey house representative, has given bond in the sum of $25,000. These arrests are the results of investigations by the commission and with the aid of Attorney General Lyon. CALL TO EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Of Georgia Democrats to Meet in Atlanta February 6. A call for the state democratic executive committee of Georgia to meet in Atlanta February 6 next, has been issued by Judge A. L. Miller of Macon, chairman of the committee. The committee, it is understood, will have for its principal object the fixing of a date for the state primary to elect delegates to the national democratic convention, which meets at Denver, Col., July 7. GLOOMY FOR LOCKERS. Judge Speer Will Charge Grand Jury That Clubs Keeping Booze Will Violate Federal Law. A Savannah special says: Trouble of deep nature is looming ahead for the locker clubs of Georgia, those oases in the desert into which the prohibitionists have converted the state and into which those who are sore athirst are wont to wen their way. This trouble is not that which is lurking in the approaching session of the legislature, either, but it awaits the clubs in the term of the United States court for the southern district of Geor-which, which is to convene in Savannah on February 20. Monday Judge Emory Speer sounded the docket for the term. He will return to hold court beginning February 20. Asked about the status of the locker clubs in Georgia, Judge Speer caused great surprise when he said that he would charge the United States grand jury that the clubs are conducted in opposition to the statute requiring that each place where liquor is sold or dealt in any way shall pay a license of $25 in the federal government. Each and every member of the clubs, said Judge Speer, is under the law liable for such a license. He is required to take out such a license and to post it in a conspicuous place. Thus far the members have in no case compiled with this law, and the judge says he will charge the jury to investigate this omission. This, of course, would mean the death of the locker clubs. Judge Speer said the impression prevails up the state that no Savannah jury would take cognizance of failure to observe the prohibition law. This he is not inclined to believe, he said, for he had found Savannah citizens ever ready to do their duty as jurors. However, the judge naively continued that if he found it necessary he might call upon the "sturdy yeomanry" of Bulloch, Emanuel, Screven and other neighboring counties to come to his aid in enforcing the law. It was quite evident that Judge Speer was fully informed of the rapid growth of the locker clubs in the city. POLICE CHIEF SUSPENDED. Must Face Courts on Charge of Attempting to Kill Editor. Charges of malfeasance in office have been made in New Orleans against Police Inspector Whitaker for shooting at L. M. Leveque, a newspaper editor. Whitaker, who was suspended, with five of his detectives, who were with him, has issued a lengthy statement defending his action. Whitaker says he believes himself justified in resenting the abuse Leveque had heaped upon him in the editorial columns of The World. The inspector and his five detectives were arraigned in the first city criminal court and given a preliminary hearing. All of them pleaded not guilty. Ball was fixed at $2,000 in the case of Whitaker and at $1,000...in that of each detective. The charge against all of the men was shooting with intent to kill. The maximum sentence for this offence in Louisiana is twenty years in the penitentiary. WANT-CO-REGEIVER APPOINTED. Clearing House Collateral Now Figures In Case of Defunct Bank. A petition has been filed in the superior court at Atlanta by six depositors of the suspended Neal bank, ask, ing that a co-recelyer with the Central Bank and Trust company be appoluted, and alleging that the Central Bank and Trust company, as a member of the Atlanta Clearing House Association, is attempting to make itself a preferred creditor. The petition says that $170,000 collateral notes are held by the trust company of Georgia, as security for balance due the clearing house, and asks that these notes be turned over to the receiver and distributed to the creditors without preference. Colorado Citizens of. North Carolina Town Refuse to Be Buried A long distance telephone message from Selma, N. C., reports the lynching at, Pine Level, Johnston county, of a strange negro at the hands of a negro mob. The strange negro, purporting to be advance agent of a "big show," faked the negro residents into attendance on what turned out to be a one-man performance by the strange darkey himself. His body was found at daylight on the Southern railroad tracks. NO.18 INDUSTRY RESUMED Plants Throughout the Country Take on New Life. New York Financial Statement Shows Increase of $125,185,000 Cash on Hand Over Preceding Week—Outlook Good. A telegraphic request to various towns, especially in the south, for information on industrial conditions has brought remarkably favorable responses. Prosperity and healthy normal industrial and commercial conditions are returned throughout the south and middle west. The railroads, iron and steel mills and coal mines, which are America's barometer of trade and industry, report a general resumption in all parts of the country. Banks have plenty of money to lend, and are fostering the industries. Payrolls are increasing in mills and factories, and business houses are taking back men who were suspended. Prospects are declared brighter than at any time since the financial flurry in New York drove money into hiding. This money is again in circulation. From all parts of the country come reports of the resumption of those industries which were temporarily affected by the furry in Wall street. Men are returning to the mills, the mines and the factories. Railroad work is proceeding healthily and construction work is being projected. The trade in groceries, dry goods, grain, iron and other branches all report good improvements. A tremendous flow of cash from the banks throughout the country to the New York city banks was indicated Saturday by the bank statement which showed an increase of $26,155,800 in the amount of cash held by the New York clearing house institutions. This increase in cash is not thought to be a record one, but it is believed to approach within a few millions of the largest increase ever recorded in a single week in the city. Financier declare that it showed clearly that the interior banks were entirely reassured by the showing of the banks last week, when for the first time since October a surplus of reserve was established in the face of the deficit which had long existed. In consequence the interior banks were sending their surplus and cash to New York where it found employment not only in the stock market, but in financing at least one large bond issue by the New York Central and Hudson river railroad. The return of this amount of cash from the interior was regarded by the bankers in New York as the end of the previous disposition to withhold cash in the interior and as showing that there will hereafter be no shortage of funds for all legitimate purposes. An increase in the surplus reserve this week of $16,551,425 bringing the surplus up to $22,635,475, shows that the position of the banks is greatly strengthened over last week notwithstanding the renewed activity in the stock market and the increased loans incident thereto. CIVIL WAR WAS AVERTED. Declaration of Federal Judge Jones at Hearing of Railroad Cases. Judge Jones of the United States court at Montgomery, Ala., hearing the railroad litigation, stated from the bench during the argument of Judge Weakley for the state, that the state judges by obeying the injunction of the federal court, when they were urged to disobey it by other interested parties, prevented a civil war. He made this statement when Judge Weakly had just completed his argument about the federal court not having jurisdiction in the matter, and that it was a matter of the state judges. Courtmartial of Army Officer Who Liked Booze Too Well. Charged with conduct unbecoming an officer, in that he was addicted to drunkenness and that he had broken a solemn pledge to stop drinking, Maj. William F. Hancock, coast artillery, corps of the United States army, stationed at Fort Barrancas, Fla., was arraigned before a general courtmartial at the department of the gulf headquarters in Atlanta, Monday.

In the storm and the strife, when lightnings or life Had blasted my deepest endeavor, She crept to my side when the last hope had died, And whispered: "I love you forever!" And the bitter unrest of a grief- stricken breast Saw a star through the black shadows living, Knew a joy from above in the strength of that love That is wounded, and yet is forgiving!

The light in the skies!— For she whispers: "I love you forever!" —From Uncle Remus's Magazine. A Load On The Safety Valve. A Load On The Safety Valve. From his dinner-pall bubbling inside the fire-door, Ziba Weston, engineer of the felt-mill, poured a cup of Rio, black and steaming. He slipped it reflectively, rubbing his bald forehead with a smutty forefinger, as he gazed into the shimmer over the coals. "Not one man in a hundred," said he, "knows the tremendous power bottled up in an ordinary boiler. In one way it's more dangerous than powder; for that needs something to set it off, while steam stands always ready to take advantage of any weakness. "In the early fall of 1883 I was engineer at a corn-cannery in a small central Malne town. My fireman was Joe Soccabasin, a half-Indian, who had come to the place to pitch on the local nine, and had been stranded there when the team went to pieces. Joe was green at firing, but strong and quick; he soon learned to handle a coal shovel as well 'as he did a baseball bat. "The fire-room was in one end of the factory, and the boiler-shed ran out behind it at right angles. The stairs to the second story were outside. To reach the top the workers had to pass right over the fire-room "I can see those rusty boilers now, two twenty-foot locomotive shells, old 'nineteen f hundreds," with safety-valves topping the steam-domes. Eighteen years on the railroad and five in the factory had left them in bad shale. "The most popular man about the shop was a red-faced sealer weighing over two hundred pounds. His name was Duchesney, but everybody called him 'Uncle Duke.' I've never seen a smarter man with a soldering iron; and all the time he was working, his tongue went as fast as his hands. It was a dull ten minutes that he didn't raise a laugh at somebody else's expense. Uncle Duke soon discovered that Joe knew more about in-shoots than he did about boilers; also that he had a great dread of explosions. Here was a good chance for a practical joke. One morning he sealed up an empty tin, and threw it into the fire box when the Indian wasn't looking. Soon, the hot air in the can blew out one end. Joe was badly frightened. He dropped his shovel and ran out 'shouting: "The boiler's burst! The boiler's burst!" "It took me some time to get him near the fire again. Uncle Duke did not let him forget it. Now and then, as he passed the door, he'd stick his head in and chuckle: "Boiler hasn't bust this morning, has it?" "Joe's black eyes would snap, but he'd keep on shoveling coal. "The second Monday in September I sprained my ankle, and had to turn the plant over to my fireman for two or three days. I worried some as I lay in my boarding-house, but matters seemed to go on all right." "Thursday morning my ankle was better, so I hobbled down to the shop to see how Joe was getting along. Under the husking-sheds a lively crowd, men, women and children, were stripping the big piles of ears stacked up by the farmers' wagons. Inside the building both floors were running at full blast. It was the busiest day of the season; there were more than a hundred people about the plant. "Joe was hustling back and forth between the bollers and the engine, as if he was running bases. I peeped at the gages; the needles were teetering between ninety and ninety-five. The old bollers were pretty near their limit, for I had the safety-valves set to blow off at a hundred. We had to run well up to that to get power enough for the factory. "I stepped into the engine-room. In the bend of the pipe from the boiler was a 'bleeder' to carry off the condensation. Out of this wavered the blue, dry steam, hissing shrilly. "On I passed into the factory, where six big square steam 'cookers' were sizzling. Every minute I expected to hear the boiler blow off with a roar; for with that fire the pressure must soon reach a hundred. But I listened in vain. At last I went up to the second story, where fifteen or twenty men and boys were soldering cans Uncle Duke's bench was near a window at the farther end. "The room was full of fun. Uncle Duke had appeared that morning in a new pair of trousers striped black and white. Everybody was joking him, and he was giving back a little better than he got. "I looked down from a rear window on the flat gravel roof of the boilershed. In the middle was a sag more than a foot deep. A rafter had evidently given way. Suddenly I felt weak and shaky; that hollow must be pretty nearly over the safety-valves. What if the roof was holding them down so that the boilers could now blow off! "It wouldn't do to start a panic among the workers. My first duty was to see that the steam didn't get above a hundred. "No man with so bad a sprain ever made quicker time down a flight of stairs. I danced into the boller-room; the gage-needles stood at one hundred and five! "Leaning a short ladder against one boller, I climbed the rounds, until I could see over its top. A rafter lay directly across the safety-valves; they wouldn't have blown off at a thousand pounds! "Perhaps my knees didn't wabble as I backed down that ladder, yelling for Joe! In he ran from the engine-room. "Haul your fires, quick! I shouted, pointing to the gages. He gave one look, and his copper face turned a mottled gray. He jumped for the lever which turns the grate over and pulled it toward him. The two-foot bed of hot coals clattered into the ash-pan. "I hurried out through the engine-room. Everybody must get 'away from the factory at once. I shouted at the top of my lungs: "The boller may burst any minute! Out of this for your lives! "You can believe there was a stampede. The workers dropped everything, and scuttled from the shop and sheds, some so bally frightened that they screamed, others so much worse frightened that they couldn't. "I limped back into the boiler-room. Boys and men in the second story were rushing helter-skelter for the stairs. Crack! went a floor board. For a minute I thought the whole crowd was coming through on our heads. Then I heard them shuffling down the steps outside. "Just as I thought that all were out I heard heavy feet running above. Uncle Duke had at first thought of jumping from a window, but had changed his mind on seeing the way to the stairs clear at last." He came 'on the jump, landed on the cracked board, and smashed through. The floor caught him under the armpits, and there he hung, kicking and yelling: "O boys, get me out! Take me down before the boiler busts!" "If it hadn't been for him, Joe and I would have run that minute, for we held our lives in our hands. But we couldn't leave him hanging there helpless, so we began to rake out the fires on the bricks. I had forgotten all about my sprained ankle. "The ceiling was ten feet high, and Uncle Duke dangled right over the hearth, his heels on a level with our heads. We worked like beavers, dodging his kicking legs, and paying no attention to his yells for help. It would have taken several minutes to extricate him, and by that time probably either the boilers would have burst or the danger would be over. "The needles climbed—one hundred and six—seven—eight—would they never stop! A boiler, like a chain, is no stronger than its weakest spot, and at any second some rusted plate might give way. All this time Uncle Duke was yelling the bluest kind of murder, and kicking his striped legs back and forth. "We hoed out the ash-pans until the heenth was piled with glowing coals. The heat and gas came up round Uncle Duke, frightening him half out of his wits. He began to kick and yell worse than ever: "Help! Murder! Hélp! I'm roasting to death! "Keep quiet, Unole Duke, keep quiet! I shouted. 'We'll get you down in a little while.' "But that didn't comfort him. The embers were too hot. 'No, no!' he screamed. 'Don't wait! I'm afire already. I'll be burned to a crisp in five minutes!' "It was no use trying to console him; so I gave it up. By this time we had the ash-pans clear. We grabbed shovels, and began to carry the coals out into the yard. I looked at one of the gages; it had dropped to a hundred and seven! The boilers were beginning to cool off. But the danger was by no means over. "As Joe backed away from the hearth with a heaping shovel, one of Uncle Duke's shoes caught him under the ear just hard enough to stir his temper and spill the coals over the wood floor. We had a lively time getting them off the dry boaris. "Joe's head was twinging from the kick, and the Indian in hirs flared up. He slapped Uncle Duke two or three times with the flat of his shovel. "P'r'aps you like to -put 'nother tin in the fire-box now,' said he. Then he dropped his shovel and started for the door. "Joe! Joe!' I cried; but he would not stop. "I began to work harder than ever. Only a small heap of embers was left, when suddenly the flames burst out through a crack in the floor. One of the red-hot coals had started a fire under the building. "The old shop was dry as tinder, I could never put that fire out alone. Uncle Duke would surely be burned to death, for he was wedged so tightly that the factory would be blazing before I could cut him clear with my pocket knife. What should I do? I felt angry and bitter against Joe for deserting me just when I needed him most. "A figure darkened the door. Joe had come back. In his hand was a chisel. He had not intended to abandon Uncle Duke, but had simply gone after something to cut away the floor to get him down. He was a 'white' Indian. "Together we fought out the fire. Soon the coals were all in the yard, and the gages began to drop rapidly. We went up-stairs, cut through the boards, and freed Uncle Duke. Then the three of us made tracks for the road. "It was half an hour before I came back. By that time the gages stood below fifty, and all danger was over." —From Youth's Companion. State History Traced in Giant Oak. One of the stately old post oaks on the campus of the University of Georgia has been cut down. It is commented on that these post oaks are probably the largest of the kind in the State. Chancellor Barrow and Prof. Akerman, of the department of forestry in the university, counted the rings from the bark to the centre of the tree in order to find the age of the tree. Two hundred and ten years in rings were counted, and still a certain distance remained to the centre that could not be counted. It is believed that the tree was a least 250 years old. At the ring on the tree corresponding to a little more than 100 years ago it was found that a space between the rings existed that was fully three times as wide as the others. The reason for this was at once apparent. It corresponded to the time when the University of Georgia was established and the forest cleared out in the neighborhood of the old tree. This caused an abnormal growth that year, and consequently the ring was much larger than the others. The year in which Oglethorpe landed could be pointed out on the tree. At that time the old oak was a large tree, although that was more than 170 years ago.-Athens correspond once Atlanta Constitution. Putting Men to Death. A correspondent is desirous to know which is the most common form employed in the carrying out of the death sentence. The probability is that most people, if asked, would at once say the gallows, yet this is far from being the case. The favorite mode appears to be the guillotine, which is employed publicly in France, Belgium, Denmark, Hanover and two cantons of Switzerland; and privately in Bavaria, Saxony and also in two cantons of Switzerland. The cheery gallows come next in the running, and is favored publicly in Austria, Portugal and Russia, and privately in Great Britain and the United States of America. Death by the sword obtains in fifteen cantons in Switzerland, in China and Russia publicly, and in Prussia privately. Ecuador, Oldenburg and Russia have adopted the musket, all publicly, while in China they have strangulation by cord, and in Spain the garrote, both public; and in Brunswick death by the ax and by the electric chair in New York. In Italy there is no capital punishment.—London Chronicle. Bank of England Jockey Hardly any living or dead jockey has enjoyed so many nicknames as John Osborne, still haile and hearty, whose stanch rectitude during a forty-six year career on the race track won for him one name—"The Bank of England Jockey." Although getting on toward eighty, he continues to ride to hounds and to take an active part in trials, on Middleham Moor, while never a northern meeting passes without his personal attention. John Osborne's diminutives also include "The Pusher" and "Mr. John." He got his "Pusher" name for his curious manner of race fiding—the push and screw style. Fred Archer, who was always called "The Tinman"—the reason is obvious, for he won so much money for his retainers and followers—once called Osborne "The Old Push and Screw Merchant." Even "The Demon" another of Archer's pet names, once paid the penalty to Osborne in a race of this sort, for the Yorkshireman rushed him right on the post.—Bally's Magazine. Taking Things Easy. The stranger paused as he came upon two tramps of the weary order basking in the sunshine and waiting patiently for something to turn up. "We are hungry, mister," yawned Tired Tim. "Then why don't you go and beg at the nearest farmhouse?" asked the stranger. "We're so very tired, mister, that neither of us will volunteer, so we are goin' to shake dice to see who must perform the painful duty." "Well, what's in the delay?" "Well, boss, we are waiting for an earthquake to come along and shake the dice box"—Tit-Bits. A Paris insurance company refuses risks on men who dye their hair.

A man who when asked what profession or business he followed gave his occupation as a bookworm was sentenced at Chicago, declares the Milwaukee-Evening Wisconsin to six months' imprisonment for stealing volumes from the public library.

"Naw, suh," answered the witness; "nothin' but plues."

Beef prices have come down, we are told, argues the Bridgeport Standard, but with that fall in price has been a drop also in the quality of the beef. Those who are getting their steaks, roasts and other cuts at from two to four cents less per pound, get an inferior-quality of beef, the prices for the better grades having remained unchanged! What's the use in talking about the drop in the prices of beef then! The New Jersey School for the Deaf has a pupil who, though without ears, is able to hear, boasts the Trenton Times. The pupil is John Hetzel, of Jersey City. Superintendent John Walker of the school is of the opinion that the lad's sense of hearing lies in this mouth. Where ears should be on the boy's head there are no holes, and the only resemblance to ears are small lobes. If a story from Millsboro, Del, avers the New York Tribune, the day of the phonograph has just begun. According to this yarn, Ace Goodhill, a hunter, of Millsboro, is having wonderful success gunning for wild geese on the Indian River with the aid of a phonograph. His method is to set the machine, loaded with "honk-honk," in the bow of the boat, and then, when the geese answer the call, to pick them off. The geese fly to the slaughter, he says. He now fears that the next Legislature will pass a law forbidding the use of phonographs. It may be doubted if Congress will take kindly to any proposition to increase the infantry branch of the army, contends the New Orleans PLCayune, but that prospect does not detract from the merits of the demand for greater recognition for the infantry. The people should be educated to understand that if the Army is to be an effective fighting machine at all it should have enough infantry to do the work for which the Army is intended. Thirty regiments of infantry, even if recruited to full strength, are not sufficient, and depleted as the ranks of all the regiments now are, the insufficiency of the force is still more apparent. Florida Phosphate Mines. New phosphate mines have been established by local companies in Florida during the past year, and but for the difficulties of the labor situation the outrun would have been considerably larger. As it was, a slight increase was made for the year from these mines. On account of the shortage of phosphate rock on the part of manufacturers on this side of the water and in Europe, the increase, from Florida mines has been readily taken at prevailing prices, the demand being of such proportions as to warrant the belief in a slight increase in values during the coming year. Many mines are sold for a year ahead and the manufacturers who have not thus provided for their needs will be somewhat handicapped.—American Fertilizer.

Georgia Briefs Items of State Interest Culled From Random Sources. Must First Organize District. In answer to a question from the comptroller general as to the period for which a school district may collect taxes, Attorney General Hart has held that a district in order to collect taxes for the year within which it is created must be organized prior to the date fixed by law for the return of taxes. Slow Demand for Fertilizers. Trade in fertilizers this year indicates a falling off of about 16 to 25 per cent, as compared with last year, according to information received at the state department of agriculture. Last year the sales of fertilizers in Georgia were something more than 700, 000 tons. Present indications point to the fact that this year's sales are likely to fall below 600,000 tons for all purposes. * * * Prisonerse Cremated in Jail. The county jail at Statesville was destroyed by fire, believed to be of incendiary origin, one night the past week, and two negro prisoners burned to death. One of the prisoners was charged with shooting a man named Westberry in a recent riot between negro employees of Perkins Brothers, a sawmill firm, and white citizens and officers, and it is believed that the fire was an aftermath of this affair. There has been much ill feeling between two factions in the county. Medicines Subject to Liquor Tax. John G. Capers of the internal revenue department in Washington has submitted to the revenue agents in Georgia a list of 54 medicinal preparations, any one of which if handled by a Georgia druggist, will require payment of the internal revenue tax or license. The list shows under analysis a sufficient amount of alcohol to require payment of this license tax. Now a new question has arisen with druggists. How many of these preparations would fall under the ban of the state prohibition law? One druggist appeals to Attorney General Hart for instructions. Electric Road Seeks Franchise.

The 103 farmers attending the University Cotton School adopted resolutions in which they stress the importance of education and the good work being done by the University Cotton School. The resolutions conclude as follows: "Inasmuch as the income of the state is approximately $5,000,000 a year, it is certainly not asking too much that one-hundredth part of this revenue be set aside for the maintenance of agricultural education, which is the backbone of the state." Hon. J. J. Connor, president of the Georgia Agricultural Society, chairman of the board of trustees of the agricultural college connected with the university, and also author of the bill which authorized the appropriation of $100,000 for the foundation of that college, states that the great success of the cotton school during its initial session will undoubtedly result in an extension of the time for the next term. The interest in the school is growing by leaps and bounds all over the state. --- This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has complied 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.

STEWART, Passenger Agent, Savannah, Georgia. Secretary C. L. Willoughby of the Georgia Dairy and Live Stock Association has sent out announcements from his home at Experiment Station, stating that the funds of the organization are so low as to cause its abandonment unless more funds are secured whereby to continue this important association. He states that those expected to contribute most largely to its support, the farmers, have failed to do so. One of these circulars went to President Harper of the Cotton Seed Crushers Association of Georgia and another to Secretary Wallace at his home in Augusta. These officers have, at once, taken up the work of rescuing the dairymen's association by having the members of the Cotton Seed Crushers Association in Georgia take out membership and contribute to its support. Should the Georgia Dairy and Live Stock Association have to disorganize for lack of support, it would be nothing short of a calamity, to not only the farmers who are feeding and raising cattle, but to those who manufacture products that are extensively used in connection therewith, for it is well known that cotton seed meals and hulls are the best and cheapest stock food on the market.

TO WRECK BATLESHIPS Anarchists Are Alleged to Have Formulated Plot in Rio Janelro. A special from Rio Janeiro says: The Brazilian police have discovered an anarchistic plot having as its object the destruction of the American fleet, now lying in the harbor. The conspiracy, while centering in Rio Janeiro and Petropolis, has ramifications in Sao Paulo and Minas Geraes. An individual named Jean Fedher, who resided in Petropolis, was the chief conspirator locally, although it is understood that foreign anarchists are deeply involved in the plot. Rear Admiral John E. Pilsbury, chief of the bureau of navigation of the navy department at Washington, was greatly surprised to learn of the discovery of the plot. "I cannot believe it; it seems preposterous," said the admiral. It was, he said, bout on a par with the rumor having its origin in Paris of an attempt to destroy the battleships Connecticut and Missouri. No advices were received at the navy department from Rear Admiral Evans Sunday and Admiral Pillsbury expressed the opinion that he would have notified this government if he had been officially informed of the existence of a plot at Rio.

It will be published from No. 4 Cedar street, New York Editor Fortune needs no introduction to the reading public who will undoubt edly assist in making his magazine a successful one. THE TRIBUNE would like for its readers to send in orders for the initial number at least. THE TRIBUNE in common with the thinking men in the city regrets the action causing the placing into the hands of a receiver, the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company. While we refute and can do so successfully the charge that the opposite race makes against us when any one of our number commits a crime, yet we can not say that the failing of one of our enterprises does not effect the others, especially the financial institutions. There are some of our people who are averse to making investments in colored business and the failure of one of them will only make them more confirmed in their views and cause others to become less loyal. This is a fact that we indeed deplore, and are anxions for our people to think before deciding against our enterprises. It is unfortunate that the Metropolitan could not, or did not meet the demands made upon it. Hundreds of white institutions have done the same thing, but that has not deterred white investors from going into similar enterprises and depositing their money in other banks. Our people should act accordingly. We advise them though in making investments or depositing their moneys, matters not if it is with colored concerns, they should be careful and investigate the standing of the business before acting. In every instance preference should be given to those concerns within the borders of our State, and do not believe everything that is seen on paper. In depositing your savings in a savings institution, find out what kind of investments that institution makes. THE TRIBUNE appeals to our people to be considerate, and do not place the failure of one institution on the other worthy ones that we have. Some months since, Tom Watson sent through the press fulminations and frothings against the colored secret societies of the state, suggested that laws should be enacted that would send inquisitorial agents to every meeting of colored secret societies. His suggestions were embodied in a bill in our late legislature, with this in view, and other converts of Tom Watson to this doctrine in parts of Georgia have blown up with dynamite colored iodge halls, and houses set apart for the worship of Almighty God. Some weeks ago Tom Norwood, of Savannah, upon retiring from an all too long season upon the bench as judge, fumed and foamed against colored people in general, drawing conclusions upon the capabilities and character of all colored people from the few poor wretches from the dives who were haled into his court for punishment—not necessarily, but punishment. In Georgia every person knows the reason why these two characters rave so. The people outside may not know, or may not remember. Both are rejected, would-be statement; both repudiated at the polls in election times in Georgia; both are discredited publicists who, satisfied with their own mighty power, have thought that the country needed their service in affairs of state, but the country never thought so, and there lies the trouble. The white people of the state would not tolerate Tom Watson. The white people either outvoted or outcounted him. However it was the white people "outed him" He has been very, very mad since that Christian gentleman, Major J. C. C. Black was preferred over him and occupied the seat in congress that he coveted. He tried to line up the colored of the state. against the best white people of the state, and because they would not do so, he is mad; is still madder, and as he remembers the fact, gets madder. Tom Norwood is mad because some twenty years ago he ran as an independent in the state against the late beloved and sainted Senator Alfred Colquitt, for governor of Georgia. He appealed to the colored voter for his aid at the polls. The colored brother wouldn't give him his vote, but on the other hand, supported for the high office of governor Senator Colquitt, than whom this country has never given a purer, or a nobler, a more Christian-hearted gentleman. For this offense the colored man is at this late date made to suffer misrepresentation. Yes, 'tis only from "misrepresentation" that the colored people suffer from Norwood's cruel diatribe, but what, oh my, must the poor black fortunates in his court suffered all these years that he has "punished them". We do not say has "tried" them, for they must have already been "tried" in this court before formal presentment on indictment from the malice that the exjudge (oh blessed exl) shows towards the race. It is well to remember why some men say things, lest we become discouraged. Tom Watson is not a type of the true Georgia statesman, and Tom Norwood is not a type of true Georgia judge. All children are not born perfect in limb. Some are bow-legged; others crossed. So are some of the state's.children—statesmen and judges—bow-legged and crosseyed.—Independent. College Dots. Rev. Dr. Lindsay of St. Philips A. M. E. Church preached to the Collegians last Sunday from Hebrew 3.1.

This is to notify the public that the Metropolitan Mutual Benefit Association has discontinued its insurance business in the State of Georgia. The officers and directors hereafter will devote their time to the banking business in Savannah. The five thousand dollars on deposit will be used to further strengthen the banking business and to build homes for the people in Georgia. The directors of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company who put up the five thousand dollars for the insurance have found that they can use that money in the banking business and make more than the three and one half per cent that the bonds pay.

Her faith was implplit and sublime. She knew her God as surely as she knew the tranquil beauty of the stairs or the meridian splendor of the sun. No lingering doubt disturbed her belief in the divinity of Jesus Christ, and a future state of eternal bliss. To her; death was the gate to an eternity of purity, serenity and joy. The work of the church was to her a labor of love. So high and pure were the order and quality of her character that she was an easy conqueror of every temptation. Her home was to her the one spot on earth of supreme felicity, typical of that higher home and more numerous family to which she has been summoned. Her great heart was entirely concentrated to her home life. Her affection for her husband and children was as sweet and pure as a mother's kiss could be. She was the home of peace, confidence and contentment. No vision of glory could dim the luster of her fireside. No ambition dull the calm delights of her heartstone. It was the abiding place of all the domestic virtues. Chief and empress of them all reigned love around whose throne shone the mellow light of christian charity.

It would seize me suddenly and for a few minutes I would be unable to speak audibly, and my breath would be greatly interfered with. I would be obliged to gasp for breath. "I finally concluded that it was some catarrhal affection which probably excited the spasm. It interfered with my vocation as a preacher, attacking me occasionally in the pulp. "I had heard so much about Peruna as a catarrhal remedy that I determined to try. At first, taking two bottles my trouble has disappeared. I feel sure that Peruna has greatly benefited me." Rev. P.

PIQUANTE EGGS. Four eggs, 1 oz. of butter, 1 tablespoonful of Worcester sauce, salt and pepper. Thickly butter a fireproof dish; falling that, use a pledish. Break the eggs, carefully into it, sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and the sauce. Place the dish in a pan with hot water to come half way up it, lay a piece of greased paper, across the top of the dish, and put the lid on the pan, and let the water boil gently until the eggs are lightly set. Then serve them, at once in the dish in which they were cooked.—London Farm and Home. DRESDEN EGGS Four eggs, 2 tomatoes, 3 oz. of ham, 4 rounds of bread, pepper. Stamp out four rounds of bread with a cutter 2 in. across; fry them a golden brown in hot fat. Chop the ham very finely and season it with pepper and, if required, a little salt. Put a layer of ham on each croute of bread; on this put half a tomato. Next put the croute on a baking tin in the oven until the tomato is tender. Fry the eggs carefully, drain off as much fat as possible, then place an egg on each slice of tomato. Serve them as hot as possible—London Farm and Home. TOMATOES AIR GRATIN Two oz. of grated cheese, 2 oz. of bread-crumbs, 1 lb. of tomatoes, 2 tablespoonfuls of cream; a little butter, cayenne, and chopped parsley. Well butter a ple-dish, cover it with fine bread-crumbs and cheese mixed in equal proportions. Wash, wipe, and stalk some ripe tomatoes and cut each in half, put a layer on the bread-crumbs and cheese, then more crumbs and cheese, seasoning all with white pepper and parsley. Fill the dish with these layers, pour the cream over; lastly, have bread-crumbs, scatter blots of butter on the top. Bake in a steady oven for half an hour. Serve in the dish in which it was cooked.—London Farm and Home. DAINTY WAY TO SERVE CABBAGE. Cut out the heart-stem and core of a medium-sized cabbage, and remove the outer leaves. Plunge the head into an abundance of boiling water for four minutes, and take it up very carefully, so as not to break it. Let it cool. Prepare a force-neat, using a pound of sausage with a quarter of a pound of lean-veal ground to a pulp and seasoned to taste. Stuff the inside of the head, and fle it up carefully, so that the stuffing will not come out. Put into a pan with a small carrot, a small onion, and a cupful of stock or milk. Let it simmer in the oven or on top of the stove, well covered. Baste occasionally, and serve with rich brown sauce.—London Farm and Home. · HOUSEHOLD HINTS. To bleach handkerchiefs after washing let them soak over night in water in which a bit of cream of tartar has been dissolved. Grass stains may be removed by dipping them in molasses and then washing out in clear water. If the cage of the canary is covered with a quarter of an inch of gravel, over which a teaspoonful of hemp aged is scattered the bird's feet will be kept in good condition. Needles and pins will never rust in a cushion filled with coffee grounds. Pour the coffee from the grounds and rinse them in cold water. Let them dry thoroughly before using. The bent point of a sewing machine needle may be sharpened on a whet-stone and need not be discarded. Put a small bag of talcum powder in a box with a cover, and keep in the workbox to rub on the fingers when they perspire. When you have occasion to use plaster of paris, wet it with vinegar instead of water; then it will be like putty, and can be smoothed better, as it will not "set" for half an hour, while plaster wet with water hardens at once. To string fine beads, cut one strand of silk thread a little longer than the rest. Wax and twist firmly. This can be threaded through fine beads without using a needle. After the use of a mustard poultice on any part of the body rub that part with camphorated oil to avoid the possibility of taking cold. Ink stains may be removed from silver and plated goods by using a paste of chloride of lime and water which must be well rubbed in. Shoes that are too large sometimes slip and cause the heel to blister. To prevent this fit the heel of the shoe with a piece of velvet. A Sympathetic Victim There is a good story going the rounds in Pittsburg of a young man, formerly a stock broker, who dropped many thousands in speculation during the early spring. One night, shortly after going to bed, the Pittsburger was awakened by strange signs. At his first motion to jump up he was greeted by a hoarse voice. "If you stir you're a dead man!" it said. "I'm looking for money." "In that, case," pleasantly answered the erstwhile speculator, "kindly allow me to arise and strike a light. I shall deem it a favor to be permitted to assist in the search."—Harper's Weekly. BOOK SELLERS VS. BEER CELIARS. "What were the best six sellers when you were in New York?" inquired the Indiana literary expert of his prosaic neighbor. "I'm blamed if I know," was the latter's reply. "As far as I can remember we only visited five of 'em. an' I didn't pay much attention to their location."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. WOMEN'S WAYS "The ideal!" exclaimed Mrs. Kadley, "I wonder why that woman is watching me so?" "Probably," replied her husband, "she's trying to find out why you are staring at her."—Philadelphia Press. Deafness Cannot Be Cured bylocal applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.

Figures collected by the International Society of State and Municipal Building Commissioners and Inspectors show that every week, on an average, fires in the United States burn up three theatres, three public halls, twelve churches, ten schools, two hospitals, two asylums, two "colleges," six apartment-houses, three department stores, two jails, twenty-six hotels—the fires at seashore resorts this summer will raise the hotel average—140 "flat" houses, and 1,600 single dwelling-houses. Such a record of waste is bad, but it is not surprising in a land of wooden buildings. Moreover, many of the buildings destroyed would have been torn down if they had not burned. A countryman who suffered from a slight fire said he had lost two houses and three barns if you counted the doghouses, the chicken-house, and the cowshed. In such lists as the foregoing a house is a house, be it ever so worthless, and a "college" may call itself so even if it occupies but three rooms, and does most of its business by mail—Youth's Companion. A PUSHING LINE A party of traveling men, in a Chicago hotel were one day boasting of the business done by their respective firms, when one of the drummers said: "No house in the country, I am proud to say, has more men and women pushing its line of goods than mine." "What do you sell?" he was asked "Baby carriages!" shouted the drummer, as he fled from the room. BANISHED Coffee Finally Had to Go. The way some persons cling to coffee even after they know it is do! them harm is a puzzler. But it is an easy matter to give it up for good, when Postum Food Coffee is properly made and used instead. A girl writes: "Mother had been suffering with nervous headaches for seven weary years, but kept drinking coffee. "One day I asked her why she did not give up coffee, as a cousin of mine had done who had taken to Postum. But mother was such a slave to coffee she thought it would be terrible to give it up. "Finally, one day, she made the change to Postum, and quickly her headaches disappeared. One morning while she was drinking Postum so freely and with such relish I asked for a taste. "That started me on Postum, and I now drink it more freely than I did coffee, which never comes into our house now. "A girl friend of mine, one day, saw me drinking Postum and asked if it was coffee. I told her it was Postum, and gave her some to take home, but forgot to tell her how to make it. "The next day she said she did not see how I could drink Postum. I found she had made it like ordinary coffee. So I told her how to make it right, and gave her a cupful I made, after boiling it fifteen minutes. She said she never drank any coffee that tasted as good, and now coffee is banished from both our homes."

WHAT WOMEN ARE WEARING A New York City.—Fancywalts make an important feature of the wardrobe, and at this season when so many coat suits are worn, are especially in demand. This one includes a very dalty and attractive chemisette effect, and is adapted both to silk and to all the wool materials that are SINGLE BREASTED BLOUSE liked for the purpose. Again, it suits the entire gown and the separate blouse equally well, so that its usefulness is extensive. As illustrated one of the pretty plaid silks showing lines of brown and tan on a white THE LADY OF THE RING ground and the chemisette and sleeve trimmings are of tucked taffeta. Darker colorings could be used, however, if something more serviceable is liked or the chemisette and cuffs could be made of the muslin that is always dainty and charming and various other changes might easily be made. If the chemisette is made of muslin, or of chiffon and the lining beneath cut away it will give the transparent effect that always is so pretty and so dressy. The waist is made with the fitted lining, and consists of front and backs with the chemisette. The front is laid in tucks, but the backs are plain and the closing is made invisibly. The sleeves are distinctly novel and are arranged over fitted foundations. The quantity of material required for the medium size is three yards twenty-one, two and three-eighth yards twenty-seven or one and five-eighth yards forty-four inches wide, with five-eighth yard of silk for the vest and five-eighth yard eleghteen inches wide for the chemisette and cuffs. Rich Trimmings. Plain, inch-wide bindings, of velvet and of braid, one following the other, make the richest imaginable trimming for a suit of dark cloth. Fashion Names. It is not the high girt gown of the eighteenth century that is figuring in dressmaking triumphs, but a modification as far from its prototype as the aledged kilono sleeve of the fashionable wrap is from the original Oriental arm covering which gives it its name. But there is an upward lift to the girdle or shortening of the waist line in many of the best coats and wraps and a large number of the handsomest gowns. Heavy white kid gloves faced with color are the smart kind for mourning. Ruffles on Shirts. Last season we had a fashion of arranging ruffles on the bottom-of skirts that were raised on the two sides; now we are setting them on high in the front, in a point, some reaching as far as the knee, where they gradually descend to the hem, covering it in the back. Large drop ornaments or handsome bows of ribbon hold down the point in a pretty way. The arrangement is a graceful one, but should only be attempted by a slight and tall, girlish figure. Girl's Bloomers. Bloomers such as these are exceedingly desirable garments, not for the exercise suit alone, but to be worn in place of petticoats during the winter months. They are much warmer, much snugger and altogether more satisfactory, while they do away with a great deal of unnecessary bulk. The ones illustrated are made from dark blue sorge, simply stitched with belding silk, but they could be made from mphair or from light weight cloth or from silk, flannel lined, indeed, from almost anything that is warm and comfortable. A great many girls like them made from soft silk with removable linings of flannel or cashmere, which 10 can be washed and replaced, but such elaboration is by no means necessary, for light weight serge or flannel are the materials most generally used. The bloomers are made with leg portions that are joined and gathered at their upper edges while they are finished with bands and are closed at the sides. They are drawn beneath the knees by means of elastic inserted in the hems. The quantity of material required for the medium size (ten years) is three yards, twenty-seven, one and a half yards forty-four or fifty-two inches wide. Oriental Shapes Adapted. Parisian designers cleverly adapt Oriental shapes and colors to their own purposes, and without detracting from the picturesque aspect of the Chinese garments they have produced coats that are as graceful and practical as they are picturesque. Guinea fowls' wings dyed brown and petunia shade are in great request. ., [HE PUEPIT. se ‘A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. G. G. MILLS. Subject: Spirit of the Lord's Day. Brooklyn, N. ¥.—The Rev. Grover G. Mills, pastor of Pilgrim Chapel, preached Sunday morning én ‘The Spirit of the Lord’s Day,” taking as his texts Romons 12:5: “One man esteemeth one day above another; an- other esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind,” and Mark 2:27: “The Sabbath was made for man and not man for’the Sabbath.” Among other things Mr. Mills said: . Tho glory of the Christian religion is its universality. It fits all sorts and conditious of men, and when un- derstood as Jesus meant ft to be un- derstood, they recelve ,{t gladly, for His appeal was always past tradition to truth. Tho court,of final appeal 1s tho spirit in man backed up by the experience of tie race. Christianity is not the acceptance of a set of opin- fons, nor the observance of ritual, sa- cred places and days, nor the reiter- ating of numerous moral maxims, but it fs getting the loftiest point of view with regard to things in general and one’s relations to one's fellow men in particular. All Jesus’ teaching looked- toward the unifying of thé moral law. AM progress is from unity, up through complexity back to a. unity on a higher plane. In the beginning tho moral law was very simple: ‘Thou shalt not eat the fruit of the tree,” that fs, “Evil is deadly, do not med- dle with it." Here we have the re- Ugion of fear. Later men’s notions of'evll became hazy and we had the books of the law and the ten com- mandments. This might be called the religion of restraint. It meant a se- ries of “thou shalt nots.” Every- thing was to be done by rule. Tho evil was to be separate from the good, one nation separate from an- othercto preserve its holiness, one Meat set apart from the others, one day sanctified. Then came Jesus with & desire to put a spirit into religion which should gire it perennial fresh- ness. Man was no longer to consult an authority to find whether he should or should not do a certain thing. He was to accept the guidance of the foner light. He was not to separate the evil from the good, bat to “overcome evil with good.” He was to make the radiance of the one day suffuse all the days; he was not to think of God afar off watching His universe go; but as “nearer than breathing, closer than hands or feet; he was not so much to be concerned with getting men to heaven as get- ting heaven into the world. This is what may be called the religion of the spirit. Now let us view the ques- tion of Sunday observance in the light of this. First, the old Sabbath of the Jews, and as revived in great part by the Puritans of three centuries ago, does not measure up to the demands of a spiritual religion. Everything was nicely regulated by rule. But the man who takes his etiles predigested {a In danger of moral atrophy. The body needs exercise or it will become diseased; the intellect must be used or {it will become flabby; the con- science must be trained or it will van- ish into nothingness. The commu- nity fs in duty bound to give this fac-. ulty of conscience as free play as con- ditions will permit. On the other hand, the strong peo- ple, those who tend to question au- thority and who demand a reason for their obedience become more and more blindly reactionary. Thus it is dangerous to multiply restrictions be- yond what is essential; because men, feeling themselves cramped, break the artificial barrier, but at the same time there comes to them a feeling of guiltiness, their consciences are hardened and they stand ready to break every law, as opportunity of- ters. The old Sabbath, therefore, was legalistic, it took no account of a man's attitude toward righteousness; it only demanded that he fulfil the letter of the law. We see the result of it in the Pharisees, who were strict observers of the Sabbath, but did not hesitate to practice hypocrisy, to grind the poor in the dust with un- just taxation, and In general to leave fellow feeling entirely out of their re~ ligion. 2. But the question is immediate- ly put, If the old Sabbath be abol- istied, has not Sunday taken its place? Not at all. Observance of Sunday was commenced after the death ‘of Jesus. It was not to take the place of the Jewish holy day, but for a-time the two ran side by side, Christians keeping the Sabbath, with all its re- strictions, on our Saturday, and cele- brating the next day (our Sunday) with great rejoicing In honor of the Lord’s resurrection. At the outset, then, it was a day of cheerfulness. It was a festival, with Joy and glad~ ness, and-so strong was the feeling that this was as it ought to be that wo read in the “Epistle to Turlbius,” one of our oldest documents: “The Manicheans have been convicted in the examination which we have made of passing the Sunday, which is con- gecrated to the resurrection of our at in mortification and fasting.” raty, here {s a case of the tables turned. ‘All reasonable Christians will hold that this 1s what Sunday ought to mean—a day of cheerfulness and rec- reation. There should be nothing and soon, Getting and spending we lay waste ‘our powers. Suppose you lived fn a splendid seven-room house and some friends should come to call on you for a time. You would give them the free- dom of the house, but all would im- mediately realize ‘that all rows aro not the same, at least that the great parlor stands off by itself with a dig- nity all its awn. You go in there dressed in your best clothes and feel- Ing that there is not quite the same ‘treedom there as there would be in the dining room, but you rather Iike ft. You would ‘not think of having our houso without a parior, It is that which exalts the whole. So it is with our Sunday, it Is the “golden clasp.” We may be a Nttle stiffer than on other days, but ft should not be the stiffness of the prisoner hemmed in by restraint. It should resomblo the dignity of the king, not doing all that'we have a right to do. The question of Christian Uberty now arises, and it 1s really about this point that the whole storm has raged of late. There have been extremists ou one side and on the other. Some have malntained this to be a Chris- tlan country and that therefore all who come to our shores must fall in Une ,with the views of our Puritan ancestors. All pleces of amusement are harmful on Sunday and should be closed. On the other side are those who maintain just as yigor- ously" that New York 1s a costhopol- itan city and therefore should be a wide-open town. Each party. sees only one side of the truth. If tho two were to come together we would have a full-orbed view, a reasonable. solution. It ts true, as Burke says, much as we dislike to admit it, that “all government, Indeed every human benefit, every virtue and every pru- dent act, is founded on compromise and barter.” Thoso who stand for a strict observance of the Sabbath forget that to some thls would mean much misery, because alt men. are not built allke. To compel an iiliter- ‘ate man to read his Bible would be robbing him of his day of rest, while to others it would mean real repose. ‘Those who stand for no observance at all forget what we owe to such ob- servance as we have had hitherto. It is because many of our citizens weelt after week have maintained their re- | lations with religious institutions that the backbone of the country has been | kept. When a man or nation loses grip of the higher things, when the whhdows of the soul are closed and | covered with cobwebs, we are pre- pared to look for dissolution and decay. = ‘What, then, are we to do? How are we to arrange matters so that the beneficent results of Sunday ob- servance shall be retafned and yet keep the day from being “blue,” save | to moral wrongdoers? Certainly not | vy keeping on the books the law that | Is now there. According to the de- cision recently rendered, practically all forms of innocent amusement are prohibited, including even stereop- | tfeon lectures at churches. Up till Jast week the law was evaded. It will be evaded again as soon as mat- , ters quiet down a little. This will | promote disrespect for all law, and this would be more demoralizing than a liberal law. Permit me at this point to say that I have no sympathy ° with those who on the one side think | that driving people away from Sun- | day vaulleville will drive them to the | saloons. I know many people in this neighborhood who attended these per- | formances and none has as yet taken , to the bottle. These people are not | after all very different from our-' solves. They are ordinary American , citizens. Nor have I any great belief in the wisdom of those who think | people can be driven to church by ! driving them out of the Sunday thea- | tre, and ff they, only come to church | because there ts no other plgce open. I doubt whether It would be worth | their while to come. The spirit in which one attends is everything. ‘The solution, then, seems to be to have a law in which are specified those forms of amusement that tho great majority of the citizens are agreed are harmless and which shall not disturb the public peace: or ser- Jously interrupt the repose and re- lgious liberty of the community. But this fs only the first step. The law must have public sentiment behind it or become a dead letter at the outset, This public sentiment should be kept aroused by the moral teachers of the community as well as'by the news- Papers and by all good men. We should then have a day which would mean for all a day of rest, for rest does not mean tnactivity, but har- mony. It means doing that which Is most congenial. The man who loves his fellow men and longs for the day when there shall be one brotherhood on the earth and men shall have one aspiration—to do the will of God— may repair to the assembly of wor- ship and renew his allegiance to the old ideals; the brother who, worn out with the toll of the week, felt that he needed all his time to re- creaté himself by) harmless smuse- ment, would not ig hindered, though he might well be pitied. Ail would have more regard for the welghtler pra breil Bhp Mirth and Medicine. I know of nothing equal to a cheerful and even mirthful conversa- tion for restoring the tone of mind and body, when both have been over- done. Some great and good men, on whom very heavy cares and tolls have been laid, manifest a constitu- tional tendency to relax into mirth when their work is over. Narrow minds denounce the in- congrutty; large hearts own God's goodness in the fact, and rejoice in the wise provision made for prolong- ing useful lives. Mirth, after ex- haustive toll, is one of nature's in- stinctive efforts to heal the part which has been racked or bruised. You cannot too sternly reprobate a frivolous life; but if the life be earnest for God or man, with here and there a layer of mirthfulness protruding, a soft bedding to receive heavy cares, which otherwise would erush the spirit, to snarl against the sports of mirth may be the easy and useless occupation of a small man, who carinot take in at one vlew ‘thé whole circumference of a larga one. —~Arnot, a ~“Tabrenle' Will Restore those Gray Hairs BERLIN POSTAL TUBES.

Prior to the close of the meeting tt was announced that the women’s clubs of the United States would take tlils matter up and at once begin an end- less ‘bombardment of personal letters upon the congressmen importuning them: to secure the enactment of this Din.” Governor Hoke Suiith, who presided at the meeting, announced that he would at once call upon every civic organization in the state to apport delegates to go to Washington on Jan: uary 30 to appear in person at the meeting of the house committee on ag- riculture, before whem this measure is pending, and urge a favorable report.

A Washington special says: Tha’ Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyot yill resign from The cabinet at ac early day seems assured beyond 2 red sonable doubt. Postmaster General Meyer will probably succeed him. Vague rumors of a break between the secretary and the president have been floating around ever since the publica ton of the announcement that plans were on foot to secure if possible the tepublican nomination for Cortelyou, The frst lieutenant of Secretary Cor. telyou in this campaign was understood to be Frank H. HitcheUck, first assist- ant postmaster general. - Tt was-labeled a “conspiracy,” and was followed by the report that the president had squelched the inciplent boom. In some quarters it bad been made to sppear that the president was neutral, as between the secretary of war ang the secretary of the treasury, This was vigorously denied by the friends of Secretary Taft and from the white house came unmistakable evi- dence that President Roosevelt strong- ly favored Taft for the nomination— fst, last and all the time. Following this development Secretary Cortelyou was reported as having sald he had been given a “d—n rough deal” at the white house. His resentment ‘against the president since has been even greater than the president's ill will toward him, A number of sharp clashes between the two are sald to have culminated on January 3 in an interview following a cabinet meeting, in which Secretary Cortelyou told the president he thought it best that he should retire from the president's off- clal family, The president agreed with him, - * ‘The delay in the transmittal of the formal resignation in writing !s said to be due to the conscientious belief of Secretary Cortelyou that he should re main at his post until al! vestige of the recent panic had disappeared and untli certain Information relative to the treasury department, requested by res- olutions offered by Senators Culberson and Tillman, had been furnished to the senate, 5 Another explanation of the present situation which, is being credited {s that the president Is attempting to make Secretary Cortelyou the scape- goat for all criticism leveled at the ad- ministration on account of the reliet measures taken during the recent panic, Both the issue of bonds and: other securities, as well as the deposit of some fifty or sixty millions of gov. ernment money in Wall street, haé’been condemned in the senate. It fs believed that Mr. Meyer would leave his present post as head of the postofiice department and accept the treasury portfolio with reluctance. He is much interested in carrying forward certain plans for the improvement of he service, but he is considered by the president as pre-eminently the business man of the administration and will ac- orditigly be advanced to the tress: Ury post.

In this great work Colonel ‘T. B. Felder and General Clit ford L.

One of the worst cases appears to be that of Uullman & Co., whiskey deal: era of Cincinnati, which claimed that ‘the states owes them $35,000. The com- ‘mission declares that the firm owes the state $63,000 overcharges and traudu- lent charges. B.

Attorney General Hart agreed upon the continuance of the case, but stated that the points in question were pure- ly ones of law. The Central Bank and Trust Corpora- tion, in dnswer to the intervention of the state, alleges that $192,302.90 was credited to the state at the time of the closing of the bank; $22,282.43 was re- ceived from T. R. Floyd, tax recelyer of DeKalb county, ruoning the total to over $200,000. The answer further showed that the state was indebted to the bank to the amount of $50,000 in two promissory notes, due January 15 of this year. One of the notes was placed with the Citizens’ National bank of Baltimore to secure a loan of $25. 000 made to the Neal bank. ‘The Neal bank {s dobtor to the At- lanta Clearing House Association for $170,958, balance due on a $200,000 is sue of certificates.

It will be necessary to settle this indebted- ness before March 1 to redeem this collateral. This, of course, is set out in the answer. Furthermore, the Central Bank and Trust Corporation has evidences of in- debtedness against the Alabama Sul- phur Ore and Copper company, total- ing $277,000 and In order to secure these it will be necessary to spend in the neighborhood of $25,000. The matter of’ the state's prior claim is set out as a matter of law. Judge Bilis stated at the start of the hearing that he was legally dis- qualified on the case, as he was a de" positor in the Neal bank, but the at- torneys involved waived the disquall- fication.
