VOL. XXIII. KING ASSASSINATED Likewise Crown Prince is Slain in Streets of Lisbon. PORTUGUL CHAOS-RIVEN King Carlos and Family Were Out Riding in Carriage-When Assassins Fired Deadly Volley-Three of Murderers Killed on Spot. King Carlos of Portugal and the crown prince, Luiz Philippe, were assassinated in Lisbon Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock. The king's second son, the infant Manual, was slightly wounded, but Queen Amelie, who strove to save the crown prince's life, by throwing herself upon him, was unhurt. A band of men waiting at the corner at the Prado De Commercio and the Rua do Arsenal, suddenly sprang toward the open carriage in which the royal family were driving to the palace, and, leveling carbines which they concealed upon them, fired. The king and crown prince, upon whom the attack was, directed, were each shot three times and they lived only long enough to be carried to the marine arsenal, near by, where they expired. Almost at the first shot the king fell back on the cushions, dying, and at the same moment the crown prince was seen to half rise and sink back on the seat. Queen Amelie jumped up and threw herself toward the crown prince in an apparent effort to save his life at the cost of her own, but the prince already had received his death wound. The royal family were returning from Villa Vicos, where they had been sojourning, and were on their way from the railroad station to the palace. A strong guard was in attendance, because of the recent uprisings in the city, but the band of marauders had selected the most advantageous spot for the commission of their crime, for they were concealed from the eyes of the police until the carriage had wheeled into a large square. Before any of the guards were aware of what was happening, the assassins leaped to the carriage and instantly a fusilade of shots rang out. In a moment all was terrible confusion, the king and crown prince being shot down without the slightest chance to save themselves. Police guards sprang upon the regicides, the number of whom is uncertain, and killed three of them and captured three others. One of these committed suicide after being placed in prison. The news of the assassination swept through the city like fire, half the populace is panic-sticken. An examination of the wounds of the king, who was already dead when he reached the arsenal, showed that three bullets had found their mark. One wound was situated at the nape of the neck, a second in the shoulder and the third, which was the fatal wound, severed the carotid artery. The crown prince; who was still breathing, but who died almost immediately after admission to the arsenal, had suffered three wounds in the head and chest. Two bullets had struck Prince Manuel, one on the lower jaw and the other in the arm. The cold-blooded murder has set a thrill of horror throughout the country, even among those who have been working politically for the establishment of a republic. Though torn by internal dissensions, the past few months, terrorized by acts of crime and bloodshed, uprisings in the streets, outrages with knife and bomb, and always fearful lest these signs of revolution would culminate in some dreadful outburst of passion, Portugal was not prepared for the blow that fell so suddenly. According to later dispatches, a boy king, who henceforth will be known as Manuel II, is now the ruler of the kingdom of Portugal, and the revolution into which the instigators of the bloody events of Saturday had hoped to plunge the country has not yet, at least engulfed the nation. Portugal is rated among the smaller states of Europe, occupying most of the western part of the Pyrenean peninsula, on which Spain is located, having Spain at the north and west beyond natural boundaries of rivers and mountains and having the Atlantic ocean on all other sides. Its area is slightly larger than that of the state of Maine. Its colonial possessions in Africa and Asia are nearly twenty-two times as large as the kingdom. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 8. 1908. STATE ANSWERS ROAD. Georgia Railroad Commission, in Reply to Suit, Alleges That is Central is Grossly Mismanaged. Formal answer to the suit brought against the Georgia state and railroad commission some months ago by the Central of Georgia railroad because of the reduction the passenger fares in Georgia, was filed in the United States court at Atlanta Tuesday afternoon and in addition to denying most of the allegations made by the railroad company and giving figures and statistics upholding the state's contention, charges of mismanagement and extravagance are brought against the road's officials. Like the original bill filed by the Central of Georgia, the state's answer is a long document and each paragraph of the complaint is answered. The railroad commission denies that the reduced rate is infurious to the business of the road and insists that it will be beneficial in that it will stimulate business. The answer denies the road will sustain any loss and denies, too, that the road is entitled to any more than 5 per cent on its investment and insists that there should be no return on franchise values, as these do not represent any capital put into the enterprise. Then the answer goes on to allege that the affairs of the company are not economically managed and declares that the management is extravagant, large and extravagant salaries being paid to the general officers and high employees. It is declared that since June, 1905, the salary of the president has been increased from $15,000 to $20,000; the second vice president from $10,000 to $12,000; the office of general superintendent created with a salary of $6,000; another job of superintendent of motive power created with a salary of $4,800; freight traffic manager created at $6,000; general freight ageint increased from $4,200 to $4,500; general passenger agent from $3,600 to $3,900; assistant general passenger agent from $2,700 to $3,000; cashier from $2,000 to $2,400; in fact, it is declared that since July 1, 1905, the general officers' pay roll has increased $21,000 a year. It is also declared in the answer that the general counsel draws $10,000 a year in that office and $5,000 as division counsel; that A. R. Lawton of the law firm, acting as general counsel, gets $1,500 as a director of the Atlantic Compress company, an entirely separate corporation, and it is alleged that this is a misapplication of the company's funds. A. R. Lawton of the general counsel firm is also down in the answer as drawing $10,000 a year for acting as vice president, although he is mentioned as the senior member of the law firm acting as general counsel. Other alleged extravagances are mentioned, among them the moving of the company's office in Macon to a building owned by S. R. Jacques, one of the directors, at a high rental. All of these salaries and expenses given are declared to be excessive and unreasonably high. It is declared that if the company was economically managed, 5 per cent could be paid on its entire capitalization. LIBERATED BY "TRUSTIES." Sensational Feature of Escape of Prisoners from Atlanta Jail. After a long and searching investigation into the mysterious jail delivery at Atlanta of John Harper and Geo Barton, Sheriff Nelms declared it to be his opinion that the prisoners had effected their escape through the aid of two trusties, Joe Williams and John Groves, who had been allowed comparative freedom inside the jail. He stated further that he would ask the grand jury of Fulton county to indict Williams and Groves on the charge of alding and abetting the escape of criminals. WAVES THE OLIVE BRANCH. Van Cleave Wants Organized Labor and Capital to Cease Fighting. and Capital to Cease Fighting. "Let us cease fighting. Let organized labor and capital go forward in peace, now that the supreme court of the United States has determined the rights of each. It would be too bad if the employers are forced to drastic measures to protect their property from criminal practices." Such is the olive branch waved before labor hosts by James W. Van Cleave, president of the National Association of Manufacturers. SUPRRISE MESSAGE Transmitted to Congress By President Roosevelt. Stands Pat on His Previous Recommendations and Suggests Strenuous Legislation Along Some Special Lines. President Roosevelt sent to congress a special message Friday which is, in reality an uncompromising and categorical review of his administrative policies, an analysis of their meaning and the necessity for their existence and a vigorous attack upon critics who have sought to discredit the administration campaign against commercial corruption, or to hold it responsible for the recent panic. He omits no single phase of the war against "predatory wealth," points out the interest of every citizen in decent government, dwells on the prime necessity of railroad and corporation regulation, touches on federal and state functions in this direction and on the question of jailing or fining malefactors of "great wealth." He calls corporations and individuals by name with unerking fluency. The president calls for the immediate re-enactment of the employers' liability law, which has been declared unconstitutional, in such form as will meet the requirements of the supreme court. He depends upon the respective states to do their part toward fulfilling the duties of which the federal government is deprived. He also urges that an act be passed compensating government employees injured in public service. "It is all wrong," says Mr. Roosevelt, "to use the injunction to prevent the entirely proper and legitimate actions of labor organizations in their struggle for industrial betterment, or under the gulse of protecting.property rights unwarrantably to invade the fundamental rights of the individual." He promises to send a special message to congress on the case of Adair vs. the United States, the effect of which is far-reaching, but which officers of the government have not yet had the opportunity to study in all its bearings. The president would give the interstate commerce commission the right to pass on any rate or practice of the railroads on its own initiative. He would also give the government supervision over the financial affairs of interstate railroads, to the end that overcapitalization might be avoided, speculation eliminated and bond proceeds devoted only to legitimate purposes. He declares that overcapitalization allready of fixed value must be recognized as affecting thousands of innocent shareholders. Many rates, he contends, are already too low, and it is better in the interest of imperative improvements that earnings should be too liberal rather than insufficient. The Sherman anti-trust law, he says, calls for immediate amendment. In its present shape it is entirely unfitted to meet the conditions of today, often tending to produce the very evils it aims to suppress. The president specifies certain combinations which are lawful and expedient for the railroads. The president attacks stock and market gambling in strong terms. The message created a great deal of comment among the nation's lawmakers. The president's friends commend it enthusiastically. Some of the talks in the cloak room and corridors turned upon a third term for Roosevelt and discussed this action as a bid for support from those who believe President Roosevelt is the only man with the determination, grit and perseverance to fight through congress the aggressive policies outlined in the special message. It came as a surprise that the president should send another message to congress calling for further corporate regulations; particularly since he reiterated his old recommendations in his December message. In the senate the message was heard in decorous silence. In the house it was continuously applauded, particularly the reference to punishment of wrongdoers and his defense of federal judges. "A splendid democratic doctrine," said Senator Jeff Davis. "A bid for a third term," said Representative Clayton of Alabama. Senator Davis moved that 10,000 copies of the message be printed and the motion was adopted. GROSVENOR IS. FIGURING. Official "Statistician" of Republican Party Prognosticates How National Election will Terminate. A Washington dispatch says: General Charles H. Grosvenor, ex-congressman, has recently given new proof of his claim to the title "Old Figgera." He is the recognized statistician of the republican party. Though he is now out of congress, he is still furnishing "statistics" to show that the republican party will be successful this year, and that Mr. Bryan is facing hopeless and comfortless defeat. If it proves true Mr. Bryan can expect no sympathy from the general; he will be able to say "I told you so." He has allowed Mr. Bryan 166 electoral votes. As the electoral college will consist of 483 electors it will require 242 to secure the presidency. This means that Mr. Bryan will need to win 76 from the states put down by the general as solidly republican. He says that Bryan cannot possibly do it. The states conceded to Mr. Bryan and their 166 electoral votes are as follows: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. The following states, with 250 electoral votes, are placed by General Groveson in the republican column: California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Malne, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wyoming, Connecticut, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ohio, Rhode Island, Wisconsin.. While not admitting that the following states are in any sense doubtful, General Grosvenor declares that any gains in the democratic electoral vote must be secured from these: Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Island and Wisconsin. These states have 137 electoral votes and out of this number the democrats must secure the required 76 to have a majority in the electoral college. While contending that Mr. Bryan cannot win the necessary 76 votes, this statistician says: "The long career of Mr. Bryan as a successful candidate has seemed to make it impossible to consider the claims of anybody else. He is a vigorous candidate; he is an attractive candidate; he is a tremendously successful candidate in every way except getting electoral votes." General Grosvenor kindly suggests Judge George Gray of Delaware to the consideration of the democratic party as a man who can carry, Minnesota, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Ohio and Wisconsin if any democrat can. In making up election predictions, interesting note may be made of the prediction of Justus L. Johnson, president of the Swedish-American Republican League of Illinois, who was in Washington, Thursday. Mr. Johnson, although a republican, declares it as his belief that Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota can carry enough states to give him forty-nine more electoral votes than Bryan. DISPENSARY PROBE BEGINS. South Carolina Commission Begins Investigation at Columbia. The commission to close out the affairs of the defunct South Carolina dispensary met in Columbia Thursday to inspect books of creditors whose claims aggregate $660,000. The commission, sitting as a court, had announced previously that some claims were believed to be fraudulent, and they would pay no claims until all claimants presented books showing narrative of all transactions with the state. ARTHUR GIOVER HANGED. Paid Penalty at Augusta, Ga., for the Murder of Maude Dean. At Augusta,' Ga., Friday morning, Arthur P. Glover was hanged for the murder of his sweetheart, Maude Denn. He professed to forgive all those who had anything to do with his conviction, but said up to the last that he never knew when he killed the girl. Though the execution was private, by order of the court there were about 100 people in the jail yard, wearing badges of "special deputy." Twenty minutes after the drop fell Glover was LABOR IS HIT AGAIN In Decision Rendered By the U. S. Supreme Court. Incurred Through Boycott Affecting Interstate Commerce - Third Adverse Decision Within Month Relating to Labor Unions. Monday, for the third time within a month, the supreme court of the United States promulgated an opinion construing laws adversely to the contentions of organized labor. The first of the decisions was rendered on January 6, in the case of some railway employees who, sought to secure damages under what is known as the "employers' liability law," making railroads responsible for injuries resulting from the negligence of fellow servants, which law the court held to be unconstitutional. The second important finding in this line was announced on the 23rd of January, when the Erdman arbitration act, forbidding the discharge of employees because they are members of labor unions, was also declared to be invalid. The verdict rendered Monday was in the case of Lawlor vs. Loewe, the former a member of the Hatters' Union, and the latter a hat manufacturer of Danbury, Conn. The case involved the applicability of the seventh section of the Sherman anti-trust law to conspiracies by labor unions to boycott articles entering into interstate trade. Under the terms of that provision the complaining party may collect three times the amount of his loss if the charge is sustained. The union fought the case on the ground that the law was inapplicable to such organization, but the court, whose opinion was announced by Chief Justice Fuller, failed to accept this view, and, in effect, held that the unions could not be permitted to interfere by boycott with the free exchange of commerce between the states. There was no dissenting opinion. The suit was instituted by Loewe & Co. in the United States circuit court for the district of Connecticut. The company alleging damages by boycott against their factory to the extent of $80,000 asked for a judgment of $240,000 in accordance with the terms of the Sherman act. Not only the members of the Hatters' Union, but the American Federation of Labor, were included in the bill. In the complaint it was alleged that the labor organization had undertaken to compel the manufacturers to unionize their facory, and it was asserted when they failed in this effort the union hatters withdrew and induced other employees to do so. This act was followed by the declaration of a boycott, which extended to many states and which, in the language of the bill, constituted a combination to limit and restrain interstate commerce. The case arose over a strike in Loewe's hat factory in Danbury, Conn., in 1901, and the inauguration of a boycott by the United Hatters of North America, in which the American Federation of Labor joined by putting Loewe on the 'unfair list.' Loewe & Co. brought suit under the anti-trust law against 200 members of the Hatters' Union living in Danbury, claiming $80,000 damages to their business through the boycott, which they charged constituted a conspiracy in restraint of trade. The unions advertised their boycott against this firm in labor organs in different parts of the country, and in consequence the firm claimed that its business fell off outside the state. Actions were brought at different places, notably at San Francisco. PRISONERS GAIN LIBERTY. Murderer and a Safe Blower Escape from Atlanta Tower. The first important fall delivery from the tower in Atlanta since it was completed in 1896 occurred early Monday morning, when two white prisoners, John Harper, charged with murdering Sheriff Keith of Murray county and George Barton, who was held for safeblowing in Talliaferro county, in some mysterious manner, escaped from their cells, then from the strongly locked cage, and lastly sawed their way to liberty through an outside window. The men were confined on the third floor, and let themselves to the ground by means of four blankets tied to ACQUINTAL FOR THAW. Must Serve Temporarily In Asylum at Matteawan—Curtain Is Down on. A New York special says: Adjudged not guilty of the murder of Stanford White by reason of insanity at the time the fatal shots were fired, Harry Kendall Thaw Saturday was held by, the court to be a dangerous lunatic and was whirled away to the state hospital for the criminal insane at Mattewan. It was quick transition from the dingy little cell in the Tombs, which had been the young man's home for more than eighteen months, to the white-bedded wards of the big asylum tucked away on the snow-covered sloping banks of the Hudson river, 50 miles above the city. The verdict came after twenty-five hours of waiting and when every one connected with the case had abandoned all hope of an agreement ever being reached in this or any other trial. Four hours after the foreman's lips had framed the words "not uilty" with an accompanying insanity clause, Thaw protesting he was sane, was on his way to Matteawan. A little after nightfall he had been received in the institution under commitment papers, which directed his detention "until discharged by due course of law." Scarcely an hour later the members of the Thaw family were in conference with their lawyers as to the advisability of applying for a writ of habeas corpus. Thaw was greatly enraged over being committed to the asylum and argued strenuously for the application to be made. It was finally decided to defer this action at least a week. After deliberating twenty-five hours, the jury brought in a verdict of "not guilty" at 12:45 Saturday afternoon. The verdict was arrived at on the ground that Thaw was insane at the time the deed was committed. Although practically cleared of the charge of murder, Thaw is not yet a free man. On the recommendation of Justice Dowling he was taken to the insane asylum at Matteawan as a dangerous person and one whose malady is likely to recur at any moment. This noted case may be summed up Chronologically as follows: Harry Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit were married in Pittsburg on April 23, 1905. On June 25, 1906, Thaw killed Stanford White on the Madison Square roof garden, and on June 28 he was indicted. In January following the first trial began, Ten days were required for the jury to return a disagreement. The trial cost the county of New York $100,000. The cost to the Thaw family is estimated to have been $400,000. The testimony of alienists brought the figure to this great total. The entire, second trial occupied but seventeen days, five of which were taken up with the selection of a jury. The prosecution had but few witnesses and made out its case in four and a half hours. The defense brought witnesses from several European centers, from the Pacific coast of America and from a number of other cities. The cost to the county will hardly exceed $25,000, while the cost to the Thaw-family will be equally as much as that of the first trial. The case, may justly be referred to as the "million dollar murder trial." Rooming House in Kansas City. Five persons were burned to death and twelve others injured in a fire in a three story rooming house in Kansas City Saturday morning. The fire started from an explosion of natural gas in the basement. The flames and dense smoke spread quickly throughout the building and before an alarm could be given all means of escape by the ordinary exits had been shut off. The five persons who lost their lives were asleep on the third floor. FORESTRY DELEGATES AT WORK Governor Smith of Georgia, Pleada Before Senate Committee. Governor Hoke Smith of Georgia had charge of the hearing Thursday before the committee on agriculture in regard to the bill now pending before the house of representatives for the Appalachian and White Mountain national forest reserves. Much expert testimony showing the need of this action and some strong addresses containing arguments for the Currier bill were submitted to the committee. long in total Ten Thousand Dollars, and which are held by the State of Georgia, by authority and under the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly, approved October 22d, 1887, and amended December 20th, 1899. Georgia Briefs Items of State Interest Culled From Random Sources. Comptroller Issues Fl. Fas. Comptroller General Wright has issued tax fi. fas. against the Savannah Electric company for $11,596.88; the Brinsen railway for $297.93, and against the Western Union Telegraph company for $420.03. The executions were issued at the request of the tax collector of Chatham county for taxes alleged to be due the county. The railroad commission has given Superintendent W. S. Brand of the Georgia railroad and the people interested to understand that it would not permit the discontinuance by that road of the daily accommodation train between Conyers and Atlanta. This announcement was made following the conclusion of the hearing on this subject. * * * Slayer of Policeman Doomed. Andrew Johnson, the negro who killed Patrolman Manier in Atlanta, some months ago, will have to hang, according to a decision of the state supreme court, handed down last Friday morning. The opinion was rendered by Justice Atkinson (all justices concurring), and affirmed the decision of the lower court in refusing a new trial. County Liable for Debt. In a decision handed down a few days ago by the state supreme court, Butts county's liability to the Jackson Banking company for money loaned the county by the bank is fixed. From February to October, 1906, the Jackson Banking company loaned Butts county about $48,000 on notes. All but some $19,000 was paid, then the county treasurer declined to pay any more of the amount on the ground that the county was not liable. Big Power Company Projected. Big Power Company Projected. A company has been formed in Jesup with a capital of $300,000, for the purpose of developing water power and generating electricity for manufacturing purposes. The company will erect a cotton mill and a cotton seed oil mill and storage warehouses, and will build and operate an electric railway from Jesup to several other surrounding towns.

Orders to this effect moving away from Atlanta this number of men have been issued by L. M. Terrell, superintendent of the United States railway mail service. Under the schedules as changed there was no other alternative for Superintendent Terrell, and he was compelled to have twenty clerks transferred to Washington. Appeals to State Supreme Court. B. C. Sloan, son-in-law of the late Rev. Sam P. Jones, has appealed from the decision of Judge Fite, in which he awarded the little grandson of the great evangelist to his grandmother, Mrs. Sam Jones, at Cartersville, for five years. In an effort to obtain possession of the baby his wife waived her claim to the boy to her mother, Mrs. Sam P. Jones, and Judge Fite, after reviewing the case, ordered the child to the care of Mrs. Jones, its grandmother. It is from this decision that Mr. Sloan appeals to the supreme court of the state.

A petition was gotten up, signed by the required number of tax payers, seeking to change the county site from Irwinville to Ocilla, also in the old county. On the face of the returns Ocilla won. Proceedings were begun by certain citizens to stop the transfer of the county seat to Ocilla, and in the lower court, Ocilla again won. The case was brought up for review, with the result that the lower court was sustained, and Ocilla won out again. --- Uncle Sam Issues Liquor Licenses. From the records of the internal revenue office in Atlanta, information is gathered that since the first of January, 65 federal licenses have been issued for the retailing of spirituous and malt liquors in the state of Georgia. The purpose for which these licenses are secured is of course not apparent.

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. Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business. That we pay our claims promptly can be testified to by the thousands of our satisfied members. Liberal Terms and Commission. of the national government for the holders of those licenses to do the thing which is prohibited by state law, becomes exceedingly interesting. A perusal of the internal revenue record of these licenses shows that most of them were issued to people who give Savannah as their place of business. Only four of the whole number are charged to Atlanta, with an additional license issued to a fishing club located at Brooks Station in Fayette county. Decision in Favor of State Fair There will be a state fair at Pledmont Park in Atlanta this fall. The old machinery hall will be torn down this spring. These two things were agreed upon by the park board after a three-hour session, at which a number of prominent citizens, including indies, were heard from. There were arguments against the holding of the fair at the park so all the old buildings might be removed, and there were arguments for the holding of the fair for commercial reasons. The argument to tear down the old machinery hall came in the way of a compromise, as this will give room for the immediate beautifying of a portion of the park which will not be used for fair purposes. Crime Decreases In Atlanta. Here is the record of Atlanta's first month under prohibition. It speaks for itself. Total number of cases tried in polloe court in January, 1907, 1,663. ADDRESS THE HOME OFFICE, 463 West Broad St., Feature of Debate Engaged In by Three Giants of the House. A Washington special says: Three of the giants of the house of representatives had their innings Monday. Technically, the Indian appropriation bill was under discussion, but legislation was relegated to the background while national politics occupied the stage. The political debate was opened by Mr. Townsend of Michigan, who, in a prepared speech, claimed for the republican party credit for all national legislation in the last fifty years of vital interest to the public. Regalias. LODGE SEALS, FINANCIAL CARDS and BLANKS of every description. In this he was vigorously disputed by Mr. Cockran of New York, who, afterward, launched into a discussion of the president's message of a few days ago, his remarks frequently evoking applause on both sides of the chamber. The president's utterances in that document, he declared, were such that neither party could ignore, for he had named the conditions for which both must contend. He characterized President Roosvelt as the only "crusader" in the republican party, and said that he could not, in view of his statements, with honor, again accept the nomination for the presidency. Mr. Bryan also was a crusader and he believed that with the president's message as a guide, Mr. Bryan would become the foreordained champion of law and order. Mr. Hepburn also defended the president's message, and said that condemnation of it had come only from the great malefactors of the age "and the gentleman from Ohio," meaning Foraker. While the debate was on almost every seat on the floor and in the galleries were occupied. OLD FOOD LAWS REPEALED. Georgia Attorney General Says New Statutes Supervede Them. According to an opinion by Attorney General John C. Hart of Georgia, to Commissioner of Agriculture Hudson, old laws under which county food inspectors were appointed by ordinaries and municipal inspectors under city ordinances, have been superseded by the general pure food law enacted in 1906 and effective August 1, 1697. The effect of this view of the new law is to take the appointment of meat, milk and other food inspectors out of the hands of ordinaries and health boards, and to lodge this jurisdiction entirely in the hands of the commissioner of agriculture. --- SOL.

This one includes the very latest features with the pleats at the shoulders, which conceal the armhole seams and is altogether to be desired for every seasonable waisting. In the THE NEW YORK TIMES illustration it is made of white madras, but it is just as desirable for flannel and for silk as it is for cotton and linen materials. It can be made with the long regulation sleeves illustrated or with three-quarter ones that are finished with bands as liked. The lines given by the pleats at the back are peculiarly desirable, while there is just enough funness at the front to be becoming and to conform with the latest demands of fashion. The waist is made with fronts and back. It is finished with the regulation box pleat and with tucks at each side thereof, and the pleats at the shoulders are laid after the seams are closed. There is a patch pocket that is convenient at the same time that it gives a smart touch, and the sleeves are gathered at their lower edges, whether they are long and finished with the wide cuffs or shorter and finished with narrow bands. The neckband finishes the neck. The quantity of material required for the medium size is three and three-quarter yards twenty-one, three and five-eighth yards twenty-seven or two and one-eighth yards forty-four inches wide. The Tunic Coming. It is more than probable that what will succeed the present type of toilette will in some form or other be the tunic. Wedding Gown Materials. Nine out of ten fashionable wedding gowns this season have been of satin or of a glossy surfaced silk of one kind or another. The rich satin princess, which falls in the loveliest folds, has been preferred. Tight-Fitting Coats. The tight-fitting coats are by far the smartest, and the striped, rather than the plain materials, more popular. Fashionable women are at present giving their spare moments to forming and decorating hatpins. Pillow Muff, Scarf and Tie. There are so many materials from which scarfs and muffs can be made this year that such a suggestion as this one has peculiarly practical value at this time. Not alone is it easy to remodel the furs of last season, there are also a great many fur cloths being used for accessories of the sort, while again they are very charming and attractive made from velvet and lace and chiffon trimmed. These designs are among the simplest as well as the best, and involve no difficulties whatsoever in the making yet are exceedingly smart in effect. The muff is of the big, roomy, pillow sort that is so thoroughly comfortable and that can be drawn up by means of the ribbons or left plain, as liked. The scarf is long and comfortable, while the little tie fits about the throat in an exceedingly chic manner. In this instance the muff and the scarf are made of black lynx fur, while the tie and the second muff are made of broadtail lynx. The scarf and the tie are each made in two pieces, joined at the back, and are designed to be lined with silk and interlined with soft wadding. The muff is made in one 1 big piece with a lining that is a little smaller, so allowing its edges to turn under at the ends. It also is designed to be interlined with wool wadding, and is supplied with strips of ribbon attached to the lining, which act as casings, under which the loops are slipped. The quantity of material required is, for the scarf and muff, two and seven-eighth yards twenty-one, one and one-eighth yards forty-four or fifty inches wide; for the tie and muff one and three-quarter yards twenty-one, three-quarter yards forty-four or fifty inches wide. Velvet For Trimming. The vogue of velvet as an accessory trimming is emphasized not only in the girdles, collars and cuffs, but also in the blas neckties which are worn over the lace chemisettes. Velvet Costumes Elegant. Velvet costumes are perhaps more severe than anything else, and yet with all the trimming and fancy finishes, the dignified, elegant effect is removed.

THE CANAL SAFE IN TIME OF WAR Colonel Goethals, in a Report at Washington, Says It Will Not Be Hard to Defend. Washington, D. C.—J. L. Bristow, of Kansas, who was appointed a special commissioner of the Panama Railroad last August, with instructions to report whether it was advisable to establish a Government steamship line between Panama and Pacific Coast ports of the United States, has made a report to the Secretary W. W. Ford, who was the chief weight of the argument is strongly in favor of establishing this service.[14] Mr. Bristow, who first came into the public eye as Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General at the time of the postal scandals which he investigated for President Roosevelt, had served under a previous appointment as a special commissioner of the Panama Railroad, with directions to investigate freight rates and trade exist between United States, South American, European and Panaman ports. As a result of his inquiry at that time the Panama Railroad was continued as a commercial line uninterrupted by the States Government, the Panama Railway Steamship Line, between New York and Colorado, trained and operated by the Government, and contracts of an exclusive character with the Pacific Mall Steamship Company were annulled. Under his second commission Mr. Bristow was instructed to investigate specifically the service rendered by the Pacific Mall Steamship Company Washington, D. C.—Rear-Admiral Washington Lee Cappus, Chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repair of the Navy Department, made answer to the critics of the navy at a hearing before the House Committee on Naval Affairs. To the minds practically of all the members of the committee, Admiral Cappus' statements were a complete refutation of the claims made against the made against certain features of the construction of American battleships. Admiral Cappus displaced no animosity or ill-feeling toward the chronic and scientific fault-finders, and discussed the subject of naval architecture in a dispassionate way. While he riddled the Reuterdahl article in McClure's Magazine in its general features, still he gave credit to certain criticisms made. In particular he admitted the justice of the claim that the addition hoists on battleships. He advocated a plate change of hoists, and asked for an appropriation of $175,000 to this end. The Admiral discussed at length the question of high free boards and low free boards, on battleships. He said that the general type of naval architecture which is followed by the Board of Construction is the same as has been followed since 1889. This style was adopted by Great Britain after the subject had been considered thoroughly and exhaustively by the leading naval architects and experts of the country, in fact, of the world. It is the style generally followed today by England in the building of her biggest ships. He said that if there was one nation more than any other which by reason of sea-fighting experience should be able to distinguish between the respective value of a high free Washington, D. C.—At the hearings of the Senate Committee on Interoceanic Canals, Colonel Goethals gave assurance that the Panama canal, the most complicated project reasonably safe from military invasion, and said that the chances of Australia's Heat Ware Many Persons Prostrated. Melbourne, Australia. — The heat wave in Victoria is ended, but it has left disastrous effects in its train. Vast-bush fires raged in many parts, destroying hundreds of homesteads and threatening many townships. The sufferings of horses and cattle have been terrible, and the settlers have been heavily in live stock. Over 100 deaths in such areas were reported, and thousands of persons are seriously ill from the effects of the heat. "with a view to advising whether or not the Ishmian Canal Commission should purchase steamers and establish a service between Panama and the Pacific Coast ports of the United States, to be operated in conjunction with the steamers now running between New York and Colon." In his report Mr. Bristow criticises the service of the Pacific Mall Steamship Company to Panama. He thinks a Government line on the Pacific coast would be desirable for the transportation of canal supplies and materials and canal employees, for keeping open and improving the Ishmian route of commerce and for procuring cargo for the Panama Railroad steamships homeward bound from Colon. Mr. Bristow represents General Manager Schwerin, of the Pacific Mall Steamship Company, as complaining against the action of the United States in permitting foreign lines to use the Isthmian Railway upon the same terms as American lines. Mr. Bristow argues that as the canal when completed is open to the use of all nations on equal terms, there should be no discrimination now against foreign steamships. Mr. Bristow says that to perform the service required on the Pacific Coast would necessitate the purchase of from sirt to nline vessels. His estimates the cost of these vessels as from $3,500,000 to $6,000,000.

He pointed out that Japan had followed the plan of low free boards, while Russian ships had the high free boards. The Russian ships are now at the bottom of the sea, while Japanese ships are still floating. Since the Russian-Japanese war, the Japanese have been building their ships to the lower. It had been ascertained that the Russians, apparently realizing the error of their high free boards when going to battle in the Sea of Japan, had pumped water between their decks, and had even loaded coal in the staterooms of the officers in order to get their ships as close to the water as possible, and afford the least possible taget. American ships, he said, had a little more free board than the Japanese, and less than the ships of the Draught thought type the English, in order to get greater speed having been forced to allow a little more free board. The questions raised in the Reuteradian article, he said, had afforded subjects for argument, dispute, controversy and discussion among naval architects since the construction of the modern navy began and doubtless always would do so. There was always a fight between armor men and armament men, between steam engineering departments and other departments, but the result in the end had been the construction of vessels which present the best knowledge of naval architects. Nation had followed the French style of naval construction. That was a distinctive class by itself, but in general there was similarity among the English, American and Japanese styles.

I. — The latest two cases of spinal meningitis that appeared among the apprentice seamen at the naval training station here have been treated with success with the new serum, the discovery of Dr. Flexner, of the Rockefeller Institute. The cases were those of F. F. Crawford, naval officer, and R. B. Holloway, of Lipton, Tenn., who were taken ill shortly after their arrival at the station. LARGEST OF ROPES. - The rope shown in this photograph is the largest ever manufactured. It was made at Bow, East End of London. Six of these.ropes have been ordered by the English Colonial Market and will probably be used for towing a string of lumber through the surf. Each one consists of fine yarn coll and measures twenty-two inches in circumference and 540 feet long; each coll weighs two and one-third tons, is nine feet in length and seven feet through. SWISS TROOPS "GLISSADING" DOWN A SNOW SLOPE. THE BATTLE OF THE BAY OF BAY All the European Powers have been busy with army maneuvers during the last few weeks. The Swiss army has been doing some efficient work among the snow and ice. In gizzading down a slope the rifle is placed on the top of the knapsack behind the head, leaving the man's arms free to manipulate the alpenstock.—The Sphere. Infant's Bottle Holder. Probably the first thing the young infant learns—or inherits—is an instinct to toss his nursing bottle on the floor. This continual breakage ```markdown ``` of bottles is invariably put down as an expense to be expected, and no effort is apparently made to prevent it. Tying a string to the bottle is considered too great a nuisance to warrant the trouble involved. A very excellent and simple arrangement is a little holder invented by a Maryland man. It consists of a tether, at one end of which is a spring loop which fits around the neck of the bottle. The ends of the spring loop are spaced apart and connect with a cord having a slip knot, which tends to draw the ends of the loop together. 'The free end of the cord is attached to the couch or crlb, and when baby pitches out the bottle it is prevented from striking the ground and breaking.'—Washington Star. Etiquette of the Flag. The army regulations of the United States provide that the flag at every post shall be raised at reverence each morning and lowered each evening at sunset, while the soldiers stand at salute and the band plays "The Star-Spangled Banner." The flag is never left out over night for any reason except, perhaps, one. When a fort or military post is actually under fire from the enemy, the flag may wave defiantly until hostilities are over. This was poetically exemplified in Key's immortal song, wherein one line has it, "Through the night our flag was still there!" At all army posts, moreover, there is a special "storm" flag half as large as the regular post flag, which is flown in stormy and windy weather. Another regulation is that on all occasions when the flag is displayed at half mast it shall be lowered to that position from the top of the staff. It is hoisted to the top of the staff before it is finally lowered.—Harper's Weekly. Easy Drawing Lessons. Pastime for an idle half hour. Take pencil and paper. Try your power. One Line Drawing.

AN invitation to the seventeenth Annual Session of the Tuskegee Negro Conference to be held at the institute Wednesday Feb. 19, is acknowledged. The Workers Conference composed mainly of teachers and others interested in the educational, moral and civic uplift of the Negro, will be held Feb. 20. These conferences have gained national reputation. All of our people who are able should attend if they are desirous of seeing the great good that is being done for the uplift of the people. LAST week the registration books were opened. We are proud to state that the showing made by our men was fair. They must keep this up, and before the closing have piled up several thousand names. This could be done if every man who has a child in the public schools would qualify and register along with the other young men. The disfranchisement bill comes up for ratification in October. We must vote it down. We need voters to do so. For once our men should conjure up sufficient pride to rise enmasse, qualify themselves, and vote for freedom for the ballot. SAVANNAH has six colored concerns doing an investment business. We have a sufficient number of people here to support them all, but they will not, and for that reason there are five too many of these institutions. One strong financial institution that all of us could point to with pride would tend to help-us more. The trouble of it with some of our people is that as soon as one of us begin a movement and appears to be doing well, all the others are inclined to follow whether they have experience or capital. This is the reason for the number of financial institutions. Some of our friends will howl about this, but we know that it is a great truth and the people will back us up in it. But, as we have these institutions let us support them. A failure in one of them hurts far more than words can express. In admonishing our people to support them, we equally admonish the officers to be more careful in handling the people's money and only make investments that are gilt edged. Some of our colored concerns are offering our people seven to ten per cent interest for their money on deposit. No institution doing a straightforward business can afford to give such amounts for interest. This may be done for a while, but it can not last and the result will be that the loss will be on someone in the end, and that some one will undoubtedly be the depositors. Shun all concerns that offer such liberal amounts for your money. And before you deposit your money or make any kind of investment find out the standing of the men with whom you will deal and their ability to safely handle your money. Too many times our people go head long into investments without counting the cost and when failure stares them in the face they blame some one else. Again be careful with whom you invest your hard earned dollars: THERE can be no serious objection to the industrial farm idea as recommended by the grand jury after being so charged by Judge Cann. Such a place will be the means of preventing juvenile offenders from becoming hardened. It is a far better place than a stockade would be: The humanitarian idea of our city and county officials is to be commended. It is noted that meetings have already been held in some of the counties and delegates to the State and District Conventions have been elected. Such delegates are not legal ones and will not be recognized. No meeting will be legal until called by orders of the State Central Committee which has not yet met. College Dots.

The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Union Savings and Loan Company was held last week at the Masonic Temple. A large number of stockholders were present, especially among some of the leading farmers of the state. The report submitted by the officers shows that the company is in a flourishing condition and that the business done during the last year was remarkable. The report as submitted was received with acclaim by the stockholders, and who showed their confidence in the officers by reelecting them and adding to the board Messrs. J. C. Ingrim and A. B. Cooper. The Union Savings is one of the recently organized financial institutions that shows from the officers report that it is in a flourishing condition and that its business is being wonderfully increased. The company has recently negotiated for a valuable piece of property in West State street where it is planned by the officers to erect a commodious building. It is managed by home men with a few directors of siding in other parts of the state. The company makes loans and receives money on deposit at a liberal rate of interest. Mr. L. S.

True Reformers Boomlugs Our entertainment of the 20th ult., was a great success. Savannah had the pleasure of entertaining the Deputy General of the Southern Grand Division of U. O. T. R., Mr. A. W. Holmes and Mrs. M. E. Holmes his estimable wife, who is Rosebud lecturer of the Southern Grand Division also Mrs. M. L. Howard of Atlanta, Ga., who is assistant Rosebud lecturer of the Southern Grand Division. The cere monies commenced at 8 o'clock by singing "Leaning on the Everlasting Arm," led by Rev. R.

Horton, subject, "Brown's of the present and Brown's of the future." Solo by Mrs. I. C Screven, which was highly enjoyed. Next was the welcome address by Rev. R. V. Branch which was enjoyed by all who heard it. Owing to the vast crowds it was impossible to carry out the program by installing the officers so the in stallation had to be placed until the next evening. Most of the Founts responded Thursday afternoon the lecturers Mrs. M. E. Holmes and Mrs. M. L. Howard, met the children in a Rosebud nursery union meeting at Our Hall and held a training school with the children and gave them many good wholesome instruction. The Rosebud lecturers were first presented to the Rosebud nurseries by chief J. H. Walker. Next was the welcome address by Miss Sarah R. Hunt of Rosebud nursery No. 770. The response was by Miss Helen R. Theose of Rosebud nursery No. 1056. The meeting was highly enjoyed by all the Rosebud workers as well as the children. Thursday night at 8:30 o'clock, the Division meeting was called to order by the chief, singing "Nearer my God to Thee." After opening in the regular form, the grand officers arrived and the chief was notified and they were presented to the Division in the regular form. The chief giving his seat to the Deputy General and turning the meeting over to him, he proceeded in his usual way in giving instructions. He said he is glad to save Savannah Division well equipped in the work. There were so many words of encouragement said that time wont permit me to repeat them in this issue. The installation was performed by Mrs. M. E. Holmes the Rosebud lecturer which was well performed. After the installation was over the guests were invited to the reception room which was prepared by the council and refreshments served by ladies of the council. We are sorry to say after all our good times the Deputy General was taken sick and had to stay two days over his time. They were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Walker of 511 Nicoll street, east. Mrs. M. L. Howard was the guest of Mrs. F. H Starr of 523 Gas ton street, east. Much credit is due to Dr. Este who worked so skillfully that our deputy was able to leave for his home Saturday evening. I want to thank all of my children for responding to my call especially the committee who worked so faithfully in fact, all my children that came to the hall. God bless you all.

POPULAR SCIENCE We hear of a discovery of monazite sand along the shores of the Parahyba River in the interior of the State of Bahla, Brazil. The deposits now exploited are all on the seacoast. Dr. Paulsen, after experimenting in Copenhagen with his new wireless telephone apparatus, declares that he will be able to telephone from Denmark to America via Ireland in 1908. Under orders recently issued every enlisted man of the Russian Army will be provided with a pocket compass, fitted with a luminous needle. Contracts have already been placed for 300,000 compasses to cost £90,000. The novel railway rail of an engineer in India consists of two L or angle sections bolted together, with a tread section closed over the top of the vertical plates, the wide base thus given the complete rail making sleepers unnecessary. Light metal tie rods are used to hold the rails together. A curious barometer is used by the remnant of the Araucanian race, which inhabits the southernmost province of Chile. It consists of the cast-off shell of a crab. The dead shell is white in fair, dry weather, but the approach of a moist atmosphere is indicated by the appearance of small red spots. If the moisture in the air increases, sufficiently, the shell becomes entirely red. The Alpine range may now be said to be completely subjugated by the science of the aeronaut, Captain Spetterin, who ascended under the auspices of the Swiss Government, started at the Andermatt Fort at 12.25 and came down at Bergamo at 4.40 p. m., having traversed 155 miles at an average altitude of about 12,900 feet. This is the first time the St. Gothard has been crossed by balloon. OUR ELECTRIC ROADS. They Have Won the Commendation of German Engineers. Representative German opinion has recently paid a warm tribute to American electric railway engineering. The Government commission of German electrical engineers which had been appointed to investigate American electric traction methods returned in the middle of November, after a three months' tour in the States and Mexico. The commission was led by Privy Councillor Wittfeld, Director of Works and adviser to the German Government on the electrification of railways, and was accompanied by Professor Walter Reichal, doctor of engineering at the Technische Hochschule at Charlottenburg, and Messrs. Frischmuth, Pforr and Jordan, representatives of the well known firms of Slomens and Schuckert, the A. E. G. and Felten-Lahmeyer respectively. Privy Councillor Wittfeld is reported to have said that since he last studied the question in America the progress there in developing fast electrical railways has been astonishing. He took special interest in the fact that the Americans are now almost exclusively adopting the single-phase system, which is also being used on the Blankenese-Ohlsdorf line near Hamburg, continuous current being less and less employed. The high standard of the work being done merited warm admiration, and it was surprising to see how, even with scanty means, excellent results were accomplished. Herr Wittfeld further stated that the commission had everywhere been most cordially received. Besides the numerous other plants inspected; no less than fifty-seven steam turbine-driven railway power stations had been visited. The tour has resulted in the collection of a copious mass of data which will be consulted when electrifying the Prussian railways. The American experience which has been placed at the disposal of the commission will make it possible to adopt from the beginning the most suitable organization of traffic and to choose the most suitable engines and plant. Privy Councillor Wittfeld will prepare an official report on the labors of the commission, embodying the information obtained in America, which will be laid before the Minister of Railways, and he will subsequently elaborate a memorial on the electrification of the Berlin city and suburban lines for the Ministry of Finance. An Engineering Department is now being organized, by which the final plans for the latter lines are to be fixed.—Engineer. Joining the Great. An Oxford undergraduate was reciting a memorized oration in one of the classes in public speaking. After the first two sentences his memory failed and a look of blank despair came over his face. He began as follows: "Ladies and Gentlemen—Pitt is dead. Fox is dead. Gladstone is dead—" Then, forgetting, he hesitated for a moment, and continued, "and—I—I—I am beginning to feel pretty 'sick' myself."—Lloyd's Weekly. Frank.

After a long and wasting illness a North Country man was about to don his clothes for the first time. "Jock!" called his wife from an adjoining room, "hes thau getten all thy claes?"

Mr. Wrinkleton States His Views on the Subject of Vacations. "It isn't the call of the wild," said Mr. Wrinkleton; "nor the call of the tame; it's just the call of the vacation time. "I find my work now dragging on me; it takes me twice as long to do anything now as it did a month ago, and I don't do it half so well. As a matter of fact I don't feel like doing a blessed thing; that is, in the way of labor. I could loaf or I could play with great strenuosity, but on my labor side I am all run down. What I want and need is a change. I want to go on my vacation. We wind up our labor machinery to run just about so long, about one year; and after that we need a complete rewinding. Sleep will check the unwinding of the spring, and even wind it up again sufficiently to keep us going from day to day for the period the clock is intended to run, but when it comes to the end of the year we are all uncolled, and then there is nothing to do but to wind up completely again, which we do automatically on our vacation. the power we develop in loading or play being stored in the spring. "I have known men who never look a vacation. and who, yet, working along thus steadily without a break, did their work well, but I am convinced that it doesn't pay. And I am satisfied that the men who do keep plugging along and doing their work well, without taking any vacation at all, pay for it in the end. "So I think everybody ought to have a vacation, but I do think that perhaps many of us think too much about it and wind ourselves up for the year with too narrow a margin left over. You see how this sort of thing operates with a good many people in their winding of themselves for a day's work; they stop all of a sudden and go all to pieces the minute the whistle blows. You can't get a lick of work out of them after that. "And it's so, I fear, with many of us about our vacations; we want to go when our time comes and we're no good after that."—New York Sun. Army Language. In the army there are expressions peculiar to itself. Heard from the first time by outsiders, they need interpretation. Among the most common are "hike," for "march;" "striker," for a soldier serving as a body servant or houseman for an officer; "C. O." for "commanding officer," and "O. D." for "officer of the day;" "hop" and "hoproom," for "dance" and "dancing room!" "clitz, clothes," for "civilian dress;" "commissaries" for "groceries;" "coffee cooler," for an officer who is always looking for an easy job in some staff position; "found," when an officer fails to pass his examination; "shavetail," for a youngster just out of West Point. Among the soldiers the expressions have multiplied until quite a vocabulary of strange words has been established. "Bobtall" is a dishonorable discharge. "Orderly bucker" is a soldier who when going on guard duty strives by extra neatness of appearance to be appointed orderly to one of the officers. "Dog robber" is the soldier's contemptuous expression for "atliker." The Oldest Bank. There was a kind of public record office attached to the palace and temple at Nineveh, in which it was customary to deposit important legal and other documents. Among these there were discovered official statements as to the transactions of the eminent banking house of Egidu at Nineveh. Assyrian chronology proves that these refer to a date about 2,300 years before the Christian era, when Abraham dwelt at Ur of the Chaldees, as is stated in Genesis. We may, therefore, claim, for this firm the reputation of being the oldest bank in the world—T. P.'s Weekly. PANTRY CLEANED A Way Some People Have. A doctor said:— "Before marriage my wife observed in summer and country homes, coming in touch with families of varied means, culture, tastes and discriminating tendencies, that the families using Postum seemed to average better than those using coffee. "When we were married two years ago, Postum was among our first order of groceries. We also put in some coffee and tea for guests, but after both had stood around the pantry about a year untouched, they were thrown away, and Postum used only. "Up to the age of 23 I had been accustomed to drink coffee as a routine habit and suffered constantly, from indigestion and all its relative disorders. Since using Postum all the old complaints have completely left me and I sometimes wonder if I ever had them." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mtch. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a reason." The Farm Food For Poultry. An experienced poultryman says three parts of ground sunflower seed and one part cracked corn is a fine mixture for fattening poultry. Where only a small quantity is grown the best results are obtained by throwing the heads to the poultry and let them have the exercise of picking out the seeds.—Farmers' Home Journal. Grow Forage and Feed It. One of the greatest helps, then, to the farmer in cheapening the cost of his crop is the production of forage of high feeding value and the feeding it to cattle, thus adding the cattle to his sources of income, and from their manure spread broadcast on his hand increasing the humus content and furnishing a valuable plant food.—Progressive Farmer. Kick the Barn Door. One writer advises his readers not to kick the cow when they get mad, but to go and kick the barn door. A farmer may be considered insane who would kick the barn door, but there is about as much sense and a great deal more benefit to the cow in doing than to give the cow a sound thrashing for something she cannot reason out. —Florida Agricultural. To Measure an Acre. To measure an acre, tie a ring at each end of a rope, the distance being sixty-six feet between them; tie a piece of colored cloth exactly in the middle of this. One acre of ground will be four times the length and two and a half times the width, or the equal of sixteen rods one way and ten rods the other, making the full acre 160 square rods. Keep the rope dry so it will not stretch. A rod is sixteen and a half lineal feet. An acre is 4840 square yards, or 43,560 square feet.-American Cultivator. The Farm Horse. I find it is cheaper in the long run to keep the farm horses in a healthy, thriving condition. Neglect sooner or later is apt to bring on heavy cost. Poorly ventilated and damp stables are liable to bring on coughs and colds and other diseases. Regularity in feeding is more important than I used to think it was. If horses are disappointed by failure to feed them at the proper time they become uneasy and do not thrive so well, while irregular feeding with different kinds of food is more liable to bring on colic and indigestion. The food should be regulated according to the work done. A great deal of food is wasted through the winter by overfeeding and careless feeding.—J. C. C., in the American Cultivator. Money in Good Management. By having good pasture as many months in the year as possible, one will be able to carry his dairy cows through the twelvemonth at small cost, and they will supply fertilizer to improve the plowed part of the farm. Supposing that one-half or one-third of the farm was used for cultivated crops with such management, it would be possible to make that one-half or one-third yield as much net profit as all the farm under the system of farming that is all too common now, and the direct profit from the pasture or dairy would remain as so much extra profit. That good management would materially aid in the paramount problem of fewer acres and more bales, bushels or tons per acre, with more net profit got more certainly.—Progressive Farmer. Rats. My experience quite agrees with the remedy of H. C. B., which you published recently. For readers who have not complete files this seems worth repeating. It is a radical and absolutely clean cure, as follows: In a dwelling the rat holes will be found in the cellar against the foundation wall, and be sure to find all the holes and pour into and around each one a good supply of pine tar, not coal tar. In forty-eight hours there will not be a single rat in the house, and they can be kept out by replenishing the tar when it becomes hard. A two-quart can of tar will keep the house clear for a twelvemonth. The writer, many years since, drove out and kept out of his house a great body of rats for all the years he lived in that house after he learned how.—A. J. P., in the Country Gentleman. Farm Tools Lost. Many farm tools are lost because the farmer has no definite place to keep them and could not find them when wanted. These lost tools often come to light in course of time unless spoiled by rust and neglect. Many an implement has to be replaced in a year or two which would have lasted a long time if given proper care. Besides the injury to the tools it is probable that most farmers waste more time searching for tools that are wanted for use than would amount to the damage done to tools by neglect. It is not difficult to get into the habit of keeping each tool and implement in a convenient place and returning it to that place after use. It is much easier to walk a considerable distance toone known place than it is to go here and there in the attempt to locate a tool that has no place in particular for storage.—American Cultivator. Puro Food For Animals. George B. McCabe, solicitor of the Department of Agriculture, remarks that the national pure food law is for the benefit of beasts as well as human beings. The following example is cited: Suppose a farmer living in Indiana, near Chicago, should haul his hay into the Illinois metropolis for marketing. Suppose, also, that this farmer claims his hay to be timothy. If he sells it under this claim and the purchaser discovers that the hay contains red top the farmer is liable to prosecution under the pure food law. Quite proper. Likewise, presumably, the faithful horse who at the dinner hour finds shoe pegs served, when the menu calls for oats, will have quite as good a ground of complaint under the law as the unsuspecting-housewife upon whom the unscrupulous pedler foils nutmegs made of basswood. In this war on the sale of fraudulent foods let no guilty man escape.—Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. Pork Raising. To sum up the few essential elements involved in profitable pork production they include good quality in the breeding stock, as the pure-bred sire is the farmer's best friend in all live stock breeding, although some do not realize this fact and think that a common-bred sire will do as well. The pure-bred sire is prepotent and will have a uniform class of offspring, possessing quality, while the other will impress or intensify upon his offspring lack of quality or perfection and the difference in the price of the two will not justify the results. Provide range, an abundance of grass and succulent, feed, a well balanced ration, regularly fed, also.charcoal, ashes and salt and an abundance of pure water. If not blessed with natural shade in the summer provide it. Have dry, clean, comfortable pens, with abundance of sunlight, stock kept free from vermin, good troughs and clean feeding floors, and success invariably will be the reward.—R. E. Roberts, Corliss, Wis. Crimson Clover. Can it be sown in summer in growing corn, to plow under the following spring, without injuring the corn? J. B. A., Logansport, Ind. Answer: Yes. Sow ten pounds of seed per acre immediately preceding the last cultivation. If that is done with an implement with eight or ten moderate sized teeth, similar to a spring-tooth cultivator, it will be better than if the last cultivation is given by an implement having fewer and larger teeth. Ordinarily, clover seeds sink into the ground and grow without being covered, but at the season when it is proposed to sow if the ground may be dry, and heavy rains may not supply sufficient moisture; therefore it is best either to harrow or cultivate in the seed, although success frequently comes by sowing immediately after the cultivator when heavy rains quickly follow the sowing. It will not injure the corn to any appreciable extent. We are inclined to believe that the shade the clover furnishes is a compensation for the moisture and plant food which the roots take from the soil. Frequently this crimson clover is killed during late winter and spring, but this need not discourage you from sowing it, since the quantity of nitrogen and other plant food which it will gather or set free for the use of following plants is very large, although there may be no clover in May to plow under. If it lyes through the winter nicely, so much the better. The seed may be sown from horseback, the horse being muzzled if the corn is tall.—Country Gentleman. Chicks Dring in the Shell It is nearly time for those who have incubators to begin to put them to work. The papers and incubator catalogues are full of reports of wonderful success with incubators, and there must be good results as a rule or people would not buy them, but we seldom hear of the failures. Mrs. Gompers, writing to the Florida Poultry Journal, gives a bit of her experience as follows: My experience with incubation may be of benefit to some one. I would be glad if some one else would try it and make a report through our paper, in order that notes on results might be compared, perhaps profitably for all of us. I can't remember just how many infertile eggs I had—fifteen. I think. They were eggs I ordered, and I was afraid I would get them too hot, go I run the incubator rather low. I have noticed that when I run the incubator a little high—that is, a little past the mark—and had plenty of moisture I got better hatches. Every fertile egg, except three, hatched one time, and every one except five at another time. These were my best and they were hatched when it was warm and I kept the temperature up as high as I dared. I take time in turning, and cooling eggs. I leave them out and then leave the door open, unless it is cold, until I trim and fill the lamp. Then I bring the temperature up slowly, but surely. Now, I do not mean that I run the temperature as much as one-half degree higher than the directions, but full up to a hair's breadth past the mark which is given in the instruction book with your machine. I firmly believe that low heat is one cause of egg weakness. I always turn the eggs twice daily from the day they are laid until the day before they are hatched. Survivals, Not Americanisms. The accepted manner of defining Americans, either male or female, in the London comic papers or in second-rate English novels is to "tard their speech plentifully with "calculate" and "guess" and with "well" at the opening of each sentence. This mode of marking, or any other is in itself totally unimportant, but linguistically it is not without interest, for while it is purely conventional as now used and has no relation to any American habits of the present day, whether good or bad, it is pleasant to note that the hard-worked insular humorists need not have gone so far ahead to find the words necessary for the identification of Americans. They really had but to turn to the "New Letters" of Thomas Carlyle (Vol. 1, p. 173), and there read the following sentence: "He has brought you a Fox's book of Martyrs, which I calculate will go in the parcel today; you will get right good reading out of it, I guess."—From "The Origin of Certain Americanisms," by Senator H. C. Lodge, in the Scriner. Wants the Recipe. Pittsburg club women are in some excitement over the discovery that in that city many women are mortgaging their homes to buy automobiles. This is done to make an appearance of wealth and social position, which to many women seem about all there is of life, even if they are more imitations. Pittsburg is not the only place where this ambition is conspicuous, and everywhere there are people who would rather have an automobile than an unacumbered home. When the club women have reformed this sort of thing out of Pittsburg—for, of course, they are going to do it—we request that they send on their recipe.—Philadelphia Press. AN OLD MISTRESS.

"From the age of three months until fifteen years old, my son Owens' life was made tolerable by 'eczema' in its worst form. In spite of treatments the disease gradually spread until nearly every part of his body was quite raw. He used to tear himself dreadfully in his sleep and the agony he went through is quite beyond words. Theimental doctor pronounced the case hopeless. We had him in pitfalls four times and he was pronounced one of the worst cases ever admitted. From each he was discharged as incurable. We kept trying remedy after remedy, but had gotten almost past hoping for a cure. Six months ago we purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies. The result was truly marvulous and to-day is perfectly cured.

London.—A very practical address was given at the opening of Keswick Convention. The sermon preached by Dr. T. H. White befitted so preparatory a gathering. Attention was directed to Luke 22:11: "The Master saith, Where is the guest chamber, that I may eat the passover with My disciples?" and with this passage was coupled Rev. 3:20: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear My voice and open the door, My Im and sup with hine and he with Me." Our Lord was looking for the guest chamber, and is seeking for it. Will He find it, in each of our hearts? The word translated "guest chamber" also occurs in the story of the nativity, Luke 2:7: "And she brought forth her first born son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger, for there was no room for her in the land. If our heart is only for us, then Christ is to make it a guest chamber, where He will be the Guest. He will only make your heart and mind the guest chamber on one condition—He must be the only Guest, and must have the preparation of the chamber in His own hands. A remarkable word appears in Prov. 4:23: "Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues to which you are mentioned nearly nine hundred times in God's Book, and chiefly in three connections. First we have Gen. 6:5: "God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thought of his heart was only evil continually." In the New Testament the same thought occurs: "Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart." (Luke 2:19.) In both these passages we have one fact emphasized—the heart in connection with the intellect of man. Turn to Deut. 6:5: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart; thy soul with all thy might;" and to 1 Pet. 1:22: "Love one another with a pure heart fervently"—the heart in connection with the affections. Look at Dan. 1:8: "But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's meat;" also Acts 11:23: "That with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord"—the heart in connection with the will. It is plain, therefore, that by "the heart of man" we mean the place where his intellect, affections and will are focused; the centre of the intellectual, loving, purposeful self in every one. If we want a picture of Christ we are humily we have it here: "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked"; and "out of the heart proceed evil thoughts," etc. Yet whatever the condition of every heart, Christ is seeking to make it His guest chamber. Are we willing to allow Him to do this? Have we responded to the invitation: "My son, give Me thine heart—the heart looked at me from three points, all from thice? We have surrendered our thinking, loving and purposing powera to Him? It may be that some one has come to Keswick with the desire to know what is taught here, because you have an idea that it does not fit in with your theological position. God wants your intellect. Are you willing to give Him your speculations, your criticisms of His word and His messengers? Are you willing to make the confession of the Psalmist your own: "Lord, my heart is not lifted up, nor mine eyes lofty; neither do I exercise myself in great matters or in things too high for me." Shall my beginnings convention right with God in holding our hearts that He may cleanse the chamber and make it fit for Him to dwell in? Our intellects, affections and wills given to Him, the lower we get before Him the deeper will be our union and communion with Him. Are we willing to do His will? If not are we willing to be made willing? Running through the life of every child of God are two great forces—Divine will and human will. So long as they are side by side, all is well; but oftimes your will and the will of the Master cross, and then there is a stop, and this is where you find it necessary to die to self. The Christian life means the intellect, reflections and will made over absolutely to the Master, that He may do what seemeth Him good. And what will He do? He will take full possession of the guest chamber, turning the searchlight of His Holy Spirit into every corner. But He does this, not at all at once, but gradually, as an enlightened being, lifting the funfell thing, needing the Blood that it may be removed. Then He takes His own wondrous Word and enlightens it by His Spirit; and we come to know what is His will for us, and that the enlightened Word will fashion our lives. There is no pattern in the Word of God for the child of God but the Son of God. What times we are living in! In our morning papers the first thing one notice seems some indication of the coming of the Lord. And if He is coming soon, what does He want from you and me? You recall His last recorded words: the He shall re-remember the He shall have come upon you, and ye shall be My witnesses." Never since that day has there been more need of witnesses to Him than at the present time. He may have called you to Keswick to teach you how to be a witness to Him. We shall be witnesses unto Him exactly in proportion as our hearts are the Master's guest, chambers, for only as He lives in us can He work through us His wondrous, gracious, loving purpose. What is that purpose? Whom did foreknew us that purpose? Who did predestination to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first born among many brethren." As He dwells in you He will shine forth, and be through you a witness to Himself. So, being cleaned, sanctified, and indwelt by the Master, we shall be what He desires we should be, witnesses unto Him. By the Rev. Adam Reech. It is astonishing how long it takes us to grasp and believe in some of the oft-repeated statements in God's word. We may pride ourselves on the power of our intellect and the thoroughness of our training, and with it all we may, for a score of years, blunder past the most comforting truth. Take, for example, the text, "If ye, then being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?" The truth and blessing of that text came home to me in a most fortable way quite lately. During weeks of trouble and darkness faith had stumbled along, seeing not a ray of light. The awe of Mr. My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" seemed the only words in Scripture that suited my case. It was not the experience of a moment, but of weeks, and long continued, growing out of the severest loss one can be called upon to undergo. The light came in this way: My little boy had become much interested in the prevailing fad, the use of roller skates. He had come to me repeatedly, just for money for a new pair, and then for more to repair and improve, until it seemed that I could give him no more. One afternoon showed me the kite he had built with which the wheels were well worn down. He did not ask me for any money; perhaps he did not expect any, but he said in a soliloquizing way, "I can get a new pair of wheels for fifteen cents." I saw the heart laid bare, the longing, the timidity—my heart said, "Go ahead and get them." I could not possibly keep from finishing out his happiness, and it seemed a privilege to do it. Then it seemed as if a voice of reason came through in me, as if the text of the text were uttered—"If we've been bring evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children." etc. Oh, how it humbled me! I had actually thought God to be less concerned for me and my happiness than I was for that of my own boy. In the light of the warmth in my own heart for my own boy, I saw the faint reflection of that mighty love of God for me, His child, and realize as soon before I would still withhold any that is good, that He will not do aught save what is for our very best. But how long it takes us to see it! May He forgive us for our conceit, our distrusts and our repining.—From Sabbath Reading. Dr. Frank Crane's Eplgrams. The end of true culture is peace with one's self; to have established a modus vivendi; not to be blown about between good and bad, but to have a practicable path through the mystery of things. We begin life as little animals; we should end as great souls. All inward unhappiness can be definitely traced to selfishness; no unselfish person can be thoroughly unhappy. The selfish man is pitted against a selfish world, infinitely stronger than he is, and against which he has no hope of success. When a selfish man succeeds in becoming happy, it is only at the price of the unhappiness of others. Life is too short and the prizes of selfishness too close and too alluring; you cannot hope to attain nobility without belief in heaven and God. There is no happiness so long as we are impatient. There is an element of vulgarity in any jewelry. The savage Indian in his test of skins, and the multi-millionaire in his mess of bric-a-brac, are equally removed from true culture. Nobility lies in the difficult middle way. To read books that require no mental effort is time lost. The careful and thorough reading of newspapers is the surest_way to vulgarize the mind. Any sort of self-assertion by voice, dress, manner or any other way, is vulgar. Nothing is so vulgar as idleness. The idle rich in every age of the world have become cold-hearted and cruel. And to envy or 16 rail at the idle rich shows a vulgar mind. The man who works Sundays does nothing of any consequence other days. Our attitude to money is a sure test of culture; we should neither love it nor hate it, horde it nor waste it, worship it nor despise it; we should appreciate it for what it can do and realize what it cannot do. We speak of elevating the lower classes; my experience is that it is the upper classes that need elevating. There is no culture possible without conversion, because culture is essentially unselfishness, and that is born in none, or few.—From sermon preached by Dr. Frahk-Crane, Union Church, Worcester, Mass. The Unpardonable Sin. Mark 3:28-30. Ghost? A reference to the text will show that the words were elicited by the fact that our Lord's enemies had charged Him with working miracles by means of the Devil—that is, with doing good works by means of an evil power. This, of course, was shutting their eyes to what they knew to be true, and attributing works of holliness to the Devil. It was this willful and persistent moral blindness to known truth that our Lord characterizes as sin against the Holy Ghost, so that it is no one particular sin, but a state of mind which may take various forms, the root of it being a deliberate closing of the eyes to what in our heart of hearts we know to be true.—W. H. Griffith Thomas, D. D., in London Christian. Excuses Easy to Find. A man who seeks an excuse for neglect or delay concerning religion can find such excuse.

Eastman of Amherst is nearing the completion of one of the most remarkable tasks undertaken by a citizen of the United States. This task was the seemingly almost impossible one of giving family names to some 30,000 or more Indians. Dr. Eastman is himself a full-blooded Sloux and is a graduate of Dartmouth College of the class of 1887 and of Boston University Medical school. His Indian name was Abiyasea. The Indian of today is 50 per cent and even more, better, as far as necessity is concerned than 10 years. But he is in sort of a transitory and civilization is being sort of a upon him in such a way that it him too much indoor and but life, which he is never used to which has overthrown to an externe physical strength. He has in him that ability to develop, but his environment makes him feeble. The necessity for this work is largely because of the fact that the allotment of lands makes it particularly desirable that family names be assigned to the Indians, so that deeds can be given and records made. The demands of modern civilization in many other respects make it highly desirable that such names of "Araful-of-a-Bear," "Rain-in-the-Face," etc., should give way to regular family names. Dr. Eastman is a native of the state of Minnesota and is 59 years old, though one would hardly credit him with such years. He bears all the characteristics of an Indian, tall and straight, and is a most striking figure. He received his appointment four years ago. The matter of renaming the Indians has been considered during several administrations, but no systematic work was begun until Roosevelt's administration began. The president became particularly interested in this matter. He gave his personal attention to it, and Dr. Eastman then received the appointment to do the work. The Indians own much land and property, but not having a family surname it became difficult to transfer such property. To some extent a renaming had been carried on by missionaries and Indian agents, but no systematic work was done until Dr. Eastman took the matter in charge. Dr. Eustman is a particularly interesting man to meet. He is quaintly original, jives in a modest cottage house, has a library well-filled with good reading and reference books. He enjoys a fireplace and has the walls of his den decorated with the many souvenirs he has secured in the Indian country. He married Elaine Goodale, the well-known poetess and former teacher and supervisor of Indian schools. Five pretty girls and one boy make up his family. If not for his bronzed features one would take Dr. Eustman for a typical hospitable New Englander. He is interesting to talk with, much interested in his work and outsken and determined in his tastes. A few evenings ago a Sunday Post representative met him before the cheerful fireplace of his Cottage street home. "Yes, I'm happy in my home—happy in my work," he said. "My work is done in the summer during the four or five months of warm weather. Usually I take up a reservation and endeavor to cover it thoroughly in one season unless it is a large one. "I overhaul the land records of the various families and also take a census so that no one will escape me. In many instances I even revise the names of Indians who have been dead 35 or 25 years, because they owned tracts of land that are not transferable for 25 years. "In renaming my principal idea is to eliminate names that are too long, and the system I follow is to select the shortest name of the generation—from the grandfather down. "When I have the surname determined upon I then attach the Christian name of each member of the family. Practically all Indians under 35 have been to school and have Christian names. "As a rule the Indians take kindly to this work. "Many names symbolize by some gesture or act of animal or bird an exploit or a characteristic. 'Bear-Looking-Around' recognizes the alertness of some ancestor symbolized by a bear that was watchful as to what was going on about him. "English equivalents consisting of two words are commonly united in one. Such are Reuben Anotherday, Albert Blacktomahawk, Alfred Greyeagle, James Brownsinew, Ezekiel Brown-thunder. "Many impossible, unwieldy names are got rid of by using the English translation or a modification of it. Abrham Tamillayanka, whose surname means 'always here', becomes Abraham Alwayshere. Albert Tatanakunyanke, a tongue tanger, which means 'the bull that lies down,' lessens friction by becoming Albert Bull-down. Old poetic names are retained so far as possible, sometimes as middle names. James Brownsinew's mother has become Nancy Daybreak Brownsinew." The common conception of the Indian woman as a mere slave is combated by Dr. Eastman. "She was dignified as in the case of her brother by names given to recognize noble living," he says. "She ruled the home. She was held in closest reserve that she might be modest and a true mother. Light talk with any man was forbidden, except perhaps her grandfather or brothers-in-law but not excepting her brothers. "The Indian cruel? Oh, no, you are thinking of Philip, not Massaozot, Philip drank the white man's whiskey for 60 years, and it made him an archist. "The Indian of today is 50 percent, and even more, better, as far as business is concerned than 10 years ago. But he is in sort of a transitory state, and civilization is being sort of forced upon him in such a way that it gives him too much indoor and business life, which he is never used to, and which has overthrown to an extent his physical strength. He has inherited that ability to develop, but his new environment makes him feeble. "To go back to the Indian," the doctor said reflectively; "as I know the two races, the- white and the red, I am certain they do not know that the Indian is an untutored wild man, and that he does not believe in civilization. The Indian looks at the white man as a man of labor and industry, and that is all he sees; he doesn't look at the artistic side—his books, music, etc. One is the opposite of the other and neither race understands the principles of the other. "The Indian believes that every man is equal and should enjoy everything equally, that all have an equal right to exist. The Indian has the greatest admiration for any animal that shows an ability for outwitting man or other animals, and that accounts for many of the strange Indian names. The Indian believes war is an instrument of the Great Mystery. "An Indian cannot be born great in the eyes of his tribesmen. All the glory and honor he can have is that which he wins in contest or in the chase. Though his ancestors may be great, he does not receive their name until he has earned it."—From the Boston Post. SPORT ROYAL. How Pheasants Are, Shot in England and Elsewhere. Kaiser Wilhelm has been doing a little hunting lately during his stay in England, and the report now comes that the other day, during a pheasant drive at Windsor, he bagged no less than 700 birds. Inasmuch as he shoots with only one hand, with guns of especially light weight, manufacured for him, this record is regarded as phenomenal. But over in Germany such doings are better understood and create less interest. It is the usual thing for the Kaiser to bring in the biggest bag of the day. Indeed, no one who is aware of the etiquette of the field dares to approach his record. Once in a while some stranger to the unwritten law of the coverts blunders ahead and kills more birds than the Kaiser, and then he finds that he has become persona non grata. He is never again included in the list of guests at a royal shoot. Inasmuch as the Kaiser shoots on the preserves of his titled subjects, quite as much as on his own, it is incumbent upon his hosts to keep a close watch upon the performances of their other guests. It is good form to miss, bad form to hit too often. There are whispers, too, of keepers doing things to the returns that would make a Tammany election clerk green with envy. Seven hundred pheasants in one day! That is called sport over in England. A crowd of men advance in a long line across a wide estate, which has been carefully preserved from poachers for months and where the birds, have been fed and tended and almost tamed. Beaters go, through the bushes ahead of the gunners and scare up the creatures. Then the slaughter begins. He is a bad shot who cannot bring down several dozen during the morning. An American guest at one of these wholesale blood-lettings inconsiderately asked what was done with the victims, which sometimes in the course of a single day number several thousand. He was puzzled by the strained silence that followed, and later pursued the inquiry with one of the beaters, who informed him that the birds were shipped to the London market, the returns from which formed, a considerable part of the income of the noble family. This, indeed, is generally accepted as a steady source of revenue, but no one is ever so rude as to hint that there is anything inconsistent in the fact of an aristocrat selling game to the London market, and at the same time refusing to countenance the social aspirations of those who are in "trade." Probably King Edward finds some other way to dispose of the birds he and his guests slay. But whatever the economic aspect of the hunting, the thought of so much life-taking is certainly unpleasant. There is a great deal of barbarism still in this world of ours, after all.-Washington Post. Musical Vegetables. Paris was invaded lately by a Belgian band known as the Cookery Academy. This band, which is forty strong, is not composed of cooks, but of philanthropists. It is a group of young men and girls who use their spare time for the collection of funds for charitable purposes. They wear a qualt mediæval costume, and their instruments have the forms of vegetables of all kinds and of immense knives, forks and spoons. The academy has collected £8000 for various charitable objects within the last two months. They paraded Paris two days on behalf of the conscripts whose two years' service is just beginning.—London Express. STILLINGS LAID OFF STILLINGS LAID OFF Head of Public Print Shop Temporarily Suspended. President Roosevelt Wednesday temporarily suspended as public printer Charles A. Stillings and appointed Wm. S. Rossiter temporarily to fill the duties of that office. The action, as explained officially, is to facilitate the investigation now being made of the government printing office by congress. Mr. Rossiter is now chief clerk of the census office. Just as the president's action in suspending Stillings was being announced, a committee of labor men of Washington called at the white house and presented to the president resolutions adopted by the local Central Labor Union, on January 20, last, charging Stillings with violations of the eight-hour law in the government printing office. Mr. Stillings is from Boston, Mass., and was appointed public printer in 1905. He had been general manager of his father's printing arm in New York, and at various times manager of the printers' board of trade of Washington and of New York. Mr. Rossler also came from Massachusetts, and had connections in New York and Washington before assuming office in the census bureau in 1890. Mr. Landis made the following statements, in which Senator Whyte and Mr. Perkins concurred: "There was referred by the joint committee on printing to the subcommittee of the printing investigation commission, authorized to inquire into the general matter of printing and binding, composed of Senator Whyte, Judge Perkins and myself, a proposal submitted to the joint committee by the Suffolk Distributing company, of New York, with the request to report on the question of any relations which might exist between the said company and the Audit System, a corporation employed in the government printing office to install a cost, audit and inventory system. "The committee had been reliably informed that the Audit System and its auxiliary company, the Audit System Supply company, not only exerted what seemed to the committee an undue and improper influence in the government printing office, but were also interested in the purchase of supplies for the government printing office. "The sub-committee, after the examination of these witnesses, felt that the testimony given by them, in connection with other representations made to the members of the committee, justified a request, that, in fairness to Mr. Stillings as well as to the committee and to the government and to all concerned, the public printer be temporarily suspended pending the result of the inquiry now in hand." BANKER MORSE SKIPS OUT. Leaves New York on Eve of Court Proceedings Against Him. Following the institution of an action in the supreme court at New York Wednesday against Charles W. Morse, the banker, by Charles A. Hanna, United States bank examiner, to recover $243,321.25, the balance due on certain promissory notes given by Morse to the National Bank of North America, the receiver was informed that Morse had probably gone to Europe or departed elsewhere from New York to be gone for an indefinite period. WET OR DRY ELECTION To Test Prohibition Question in Jacksonville Subject of Petition. The prohibitionists Wednesday presented to the Duval county commissioners at Jacksonville, Fla., a petition calling for a wet or dry election. The prohibition leaders claim the petition contains the names of 2,500 registered voters, while, under the law, only 2,250 names are required. The list was referred to a committee to check off the names. This committee was given until February 15 to make its report. HIGHER-UP SALARIES REDUCED. Wages of Men Making More Than $250 a Month Cut by L. & N. The Louisville and Nashville railroad Wednesday reduced the salaries of all employees making more than $250 per month. Those receiving $400 and over are cut 10 per cent, while those receiving more than $250 and less than $400, suffer the reduction of 8 per cent.

Illinois Freemason. "No institution ever lived beyond the generation which gave it birth which was not founded upon the eternal principles of Truth. God alone is Truth, and it is the recognition of this one simple thought which makes Masonry universal. Forms and ceremonies are as empty as gourds if they stand not for a truth."—Bestor G. Brown, Kansas. There must be no schism in Masonry. Harmony is the strength of all well regulated institutions, especially this of ours. A perilicious practice, and one which is to be deplored, says the Illinois Freemason, is that of transacting business operations on Masonic word of honor. There is nothing which will drag Masonry into disrepute as quick as this. From the immemorial, Masonry has been the champion of liberty, freedom of thought and speech, the friend of the oppressed, the liberator of the bondman, the promulgator of justice, and the enemy of superstition, bigotry, intolerance and prejudice, the shining light of one great and glorious brotherhood.—Grand Master Henry L. Frank. Montana Brother W. M. Cunningham, Ohio's veteran Masonic correspondent, does not concur in the view that Freemasonry's genuine landmarks are either "dlm" or "fading." He asks: "Has there ever been any period in its existence of which we have knowledge in which belief in God, the immortality of the soul, Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth; Temperance, Fortitude, providence and Justice, and the upright Moral Walk and Conversation, as embodied in the charges of a Freemason were any more generally observed or appreciated than in the present period?" We answer, Masonry never was better than it is now. The. Order of the Eastern Star "has for its beacon light the Star of the East" and possesses ennobling principles, but a worthy member asks: "What matter the'principles if we live them not in our lives? What shall the fidelity of Adah, the unquestioning obedience of Ruth, the heroism of Esther, the trustfulness of Martha, or the loving endurance of Electa, bring to us if we exemplify not in our lives of everyday labor the lessons taught us by the noble heroines of our order?" The answer is: In such case there will be no fruitage of good deeds, no acts of charity, no administering of relief, no comforting of the mourning, no soothing of distress, no work of love. Then the lessons taught will be like seed sown in stony places, that lorthwith spriggs up and soon parishes. The lessons lived will be far different Their fruitage will be great and imperishable. AFTERMATH OF CYCLONE. Storm in Mississippi More Deadly and Destructive Than First Reported. Extending forty miles from west to east, the huge path of destruction made by Friday's cyclones just north of Wesson, Miss., Saturday was found to be a worse disaster than at first reported. In the cyclone zone the dead numbered eight, the fatally injured four and at least 100 others less hurt. The damage is estimated conservatively at $300,000, and may reach half a million. In the wreckage lie four churches, six cotton gins and several country stores. Valentine Novelties For Parties, Luncheons, Etc. FAVORS FOR A VALENTINE'D DANCE OR COTILLION. CANDY-BOX OF WHITE CREPE PAPER DECORATED WITH HEARTS AND ARROWS CANDY-BOX WITH DOW AND ARROWS RED HEART CANDY-BOX WITH MINIATURE CUPID A NOVEL ICE-CREAM OR CHARLOTTE-RUSSE BOX; A HEART CANDLE-SHADE! MAKING VALENTINES. For February festivities that take place on or near the fourteenth of the month, there are this year a host of charming novelties. The old-fashioned valentines are, of course, out of date for everybody but children, yet the sentiment of the day still lingers in the hearts and darts and pastboard Cupids used on the new candy-boxes. What, for instance, could be a prettier remembrance for any young man to give his "best girl" or even a young woman for whom he had no particular regard to whose family he was indebted for invitations to dinner or ten, dances or other functions of the season, than one of these candy-boxes? Two different styles are shown on this page—one covered with bright-red paper and decorated with a big bow of red ribbon, having in the centre Cupid himself, with his bow and arrows; the other simpler, but just as effective, covered with white crepe paper and decorated with a gilt arrow pierced through two hearts. If these boxes are wanted for souvenirs at luncheons or parties they can easily be made at home by a clever girl, for the crepe paper is very simple to manipulate. The heart-shaped pastboard boxes can be bought ready-made at most stationery stores, and the hearts and arrows cut out of red and gold paper respectively, declares McCall's Magazine. Even easier to make is the little round box shown at the top of the eft-hand corner of this group. Any CANDY-BOX OF WHITE CURVE PAPER DECORATED WITH HEARTS AND ARROWS A NOVEL JE-CREAM OR CHARLOTTE-RUSSE BOX A HEART CAN round pasteboard box can be used as a foundation for this. It is covered with white crepe paper and a big red heart pasted in the centre. It adds to the appearance if the edges of the box are touched up with a line of gold paint, as shown in our illustration. For serving refreshments at a valentine party there is nothing more effective than heart and arrow ice cream or charlotte russe boxes, and the best thing about t. em is that they can be so easily and quickly made. Buy some rather thin bright-red pasteboard at a stationery store, and also a sheet of white pasteboard. Then get some of the ordinary plented paper cases that are used for charlotte russe, bisquit glace, etc. An arrow is cut out of the white pasteboard, painted gold or covered with gilt paper and pasted across the large heart that has just been cut from the red pasteboard. A circle is then cut out of the heart, through arrow and all, the ice cream box inserted in the opening and held in place with a little paste. The paper baskets can be even more quickly made, the foundation being the same sort of pleated paper case. In making the red paper basket, this is given a handle formed of wire, with red crepe paper twisted around it and a heart and arrow pasted at the top. The paper itself is simply covered with a frill of red paper, held in place by just a touch MAKING A Modern Custom. Frequently it happens that the modern valentine is sent by men as an expression of courtesy or to show appreciation of social favors received. For this purpose a pot of growing flowers, a dainty bound volume, a basket of glaced or tropical fruit or con-bons in elaborate receptacles of atm, porcelain or crystal, are all welcome tokens to most women, who gracefully accept them in the same spirit in which they were sent. of paste, and a twist of baby ribbon. The white ice cream basket is made in exactly the same way, with the substitution of white paper for red and a little pasteboard Cupid stuck on the handle in place of the heart and arrow. The favors for a valentine dance, children's party or cotillion are simply fancy paper hearts fastened on slender sticks, wound with paper and decorated with ribbon streamers. The candle shade makes a most effective table decoration. It is of white paper, decorated with red hearts and gold arrows, and the top and bottom of the shade are finished with twists of the paper touched up with gold paint. St. Valentine's Day was originally the day dedicated to the incoming of spring. The Romans kept it in honor of Pan and Juno, and the festival, which lasted several days, was called "Lupercalia." The early Christian church, desiring to effect a change in this much-abused feast, very adroitly reconstituted the old practice of the lottery of lovers' names. In place of the names of real youths and maldens, whose appellations, written on slips of paper, were drawn by the young people of the time, the church substituted the names of the saints. The idea had its own beauty, and the notion of dedication was thus preserved in a more spiritual sense than in the old Roman festival. This feast, and not the existence of the real St. Valentine, is the origin of the gallant ANNIES FOR A VALENTINE DANCE OR COTILLION. CANDY-BOX WITH BOW AND ARROW.

Some St. Valentine "Don't's." Remember that you want to enjoy, the St. Valentine party as well as your guests; therefore observe these rules: Don't fret and worry every hour of the preceding day until you are nervous and sensitive to everything that goes wrong. Don't rush your rames too close on each other's heels. Young people like to talk. Don't seem to be making an effort to entertain them at every moment. Suggest the games when the talking grows a little less spirited. That Little Valentine Boy. His other name is Cupid. That is what the old Romans called him. He had still another name given him by the early Greeks, Eros. But whatever he may be called, he is the same jolly little sprite that you paint, draw or paste on your valentines as the love fairy. He looks very harmless with his chubby-baby cheeks and his loving eyes. But look at him closely and you will find in those eyes sparks of mischief glinting through the love, like points of mica in a quartz rock. VALENTINES. In Shakespeare's Day. In Shakespeare's time there was a practice of greeting the person met by saying, "Good morning, 'tis Valentine's Day," and the one who made the salutation first was entitled to a present. At this time the element of choice appears to have joined forces with chance, for it is written that divers young persons contrived to accidentally see each other before they saw anybody else on the morning of St. Valentine's Day.
