In both cases the right of the states to fix rates for railroad transportation was the Issue, and both involved con- filets between the federal and the state courts. The decison In each case was opposed both to the states aud to their courts. The opinion of the court 4n both cases was announced by Jus- tlee*Peckham, and, with the exception of Justice Harlan, all the other mem- bers of the court stood behind him in the announcement of the court's find- ing. Justice Harlan réad a dissenting opinion in the Young case, in which the took the ylew that the suit was practically a “preceeding against the state, and therefore not pernfissible un- der the eleveath amendment to the constitution, He therefore character- 4ed the opinion as eramaking in the history of the court, saying that it had the effect of closing the courts of a‘state against the state itself, and predicted that the result would be dis- astrous. . The two cases were so similar that both practically were decided in one opinion, The piinelpal pronouncement was made in the Minnesota case. ++ PERMANENT INJUNCTION issued Against Federation of Labor in Buck Stove Company Case. The American Federation of Labor and President Gompers and others of that organiation were permanently en- Joined from “conspiring, agreeing or combining to restrain, obstruct or de- stroy” the business of the Buck Stove and Range company in a decision ren dered by Chief Justice Clabaugh of the supreme court of the District of Columbia, Monday, making permanent the temporary injunction of Justice Gould against the federation in that <ase. The {ederation’s counsel immediate- ly noted an appeal to the district court of appeals, Monday’s decision bars ‘the federation from in any manner calling the attention of the public to the Buck company, or its business or products, and also bars the federation from placing the company on the “un- fair list” or from stating the company’s products should net be purchased eith- er in Missouri or anywhere else. | STAID SENATORS AWED. “Untimely Death of Young Bryan Sub- ject of Solemn Comment. The senate Monday for the fifth time in the present session adjourned be- cause death had robbed the body of ‘ong of Its members. The announce- ment that Senator Willlam James Bry- an of Florida died Sunday wag made by Senator Clay of Georgia, in the absence of Senator Tallaferro, who left ‘Washington early Morday morning as a member of the committee which accompanied the body to Jackson- ville. 4 ‘The untimely death of Senator Bry- an, who was familiarly known as the “paby” of the senate, a title In which he took pride, came home to the sen- ators with more force than any which had preceded it. The seven sorrows that have come upon this branch of congress since adjournment a year ago were a matter of solemn comment. TOBACCO TRUST YIELDS, Report That’ Farmers in Kentucky Have Won Long Fight ‘and “Will _ Get $14,000,000 for Weed. An end to the night ,ridig in the Kentucky White Burley district has been brought about through a formal agreement reached between the Amer- {ean Tobacco Company and the ex- ecutive committee of the Society of Equity in a conference at Winchester, Ky., Tuesday, according to apparently authoritative statements made tn Clo- cinnatl by members of the American Soclety of Equity. , Nearly $14,000,000 and the purchase of the entire crops of 1906 and 1907 on the one side, and no plahting of a crop for the year 1908 om the other side, are points in the agreement. Word Is sald to have been reeejved by the executive committee of the So- clety of Equity on Monday afternoon from headquarters of the American Tobacco Company in New York that the company would buy the 1906 and 1907 crops at 16 and 18 counts per pound, respectively. The committee was sworn to secre- cy, and the report has .been officially dented, but is nevertheless declared to be authentic. The two-year crop ag- gregates about, 80,000,000 pounds of leat now in store in varloas ware- houses and private barns throughout the White Burley district. According to the reported terms of the agree- ment, the company will commence to take over the big purchase immediate- ly. The reason for secrecy by the so- ciety lay in its determination uot to raise any-crop thls year.. Before ad- journing the executive committee adopted resolutions condemning the night riders and disavowing any re sponsibility for them. A prominent member of the society, in confirming the agreement, sald: “Jt fs all settled. The cruel war is over, and we have won. There will be no more night riding or violence, but there will be no 1908 crop of to- bacco. The American Tobacco com- pany has agreed to buy all the pooled leaf of the 1906 and, 1907 crops, and will pay nearly $14,000,000 for it, We have prevailed in the just°fight, and are now confident that the farmer and renter can raise tobacco and market it and have some money at. the end of the season after paying the grocery bills." . 7 CYCLONE WHELMS TOWN. Village. of Lynn, Ga. Wiped from the Earth and Many People Hurt. Just after daybreak Tuesday morn- ‘ing a cyclone atruck the small town of Lynn, Ga., six miles north of Baln- bridge, on the Georgia, Florida and Augusta railway, destroying every building in the place and serfously in- juring a number of people. The cyclone came withoyt a mo fhent’s warning, and before the people had time to leave their beds, The houses were blown down on them. — One house, in which were six people, was so completely demolished that oaly a few ficor timbers could be found. All the occupants were’ more or legs hurt. A litte child was blown from its father’s arms, and carried over two hundred yards into the woods. ‘The store of Rich & Bailey was de ‘troyed and stock badly damaged. The house of Tom Rich was ralzed.cto the ground, without injuring the occupants. “BLACK HAND” CLOSES BANK, Run Made on Dago Institution in Re- ‘ yenge for Murder of Secret Agent.

VICTIM OF TYPHOID FEVER Passed Away In Washington Hospital After Long tliness—Was in Sen- at But Little Over Two x Months, ‘United Gtates Senator William James Bryan of Florida died at Prov- idence hospital Ia Washington at 8:30 o'clock Sunday morning-ot typhoid fe- “ver, “It was only seventy-three days since he took his seat as the suc- cessor of' the late Senator Stephen R. Mallory, who died, December 23, and thirty-three days of that tlme was spent in his fight agairst disease. Several times during Mr. Bryan's ill- ness his friends despaired of his re- covery, but 2s late as Saturday night the report was given out that his .con- dition had taken a turn, for the better. His death, therefore, came as a sur- prise and a distinct shock, . | In physique Mr. Bryan was unfitted to withstand a protracted fever. He was slight of build and of @ nervous temperament, He came to Washing- ton early in January from the warm climate of Florida and from the day of his arrival was far from well. Finally he was compelied to sive up and was taken to Providence hospital. In Mr, Bryan the senate loses the seventh member by death since tho adjournment of the fifty-ntnth con- gress on March 4, a year ago: They ‘sere the two late senators from Ala- -bama, Mr, Morgan and Mr. Pettus; Mr. ‘Mallory of FYorida, Mr. Latimer of South Carolina, Mr. Proctor of Ver- mont, Mr, Whyte of Maryland and Mr. Bryan. Curiously, the last two were the oldest avd the youngest members of, the bodyg Mr. Whyte was 81 years and Mr, Bryan less than 32 years old. Although Mr. Bryan was in the sen- ate too short a time to Impress his individuality on legis‘ation or to take a prominent part In the cousideration of mutters In committee,.{t is conceded that he would have become a forceful part of the minority. ‘Mr, Bryan was born In Orange coun- ty, Florida, October 10, 1876. He at- tended the publle schools of his state and Emory College, Georgia, graduat- ing from the latter {nstitutlon in 1890, Three years later he -was graduated from Washington and Lee University and in 1899 began the practice of law in Jacksonville, Fla, Until a short time before his appcintment to succeed Mr, Malolry in the senate he had served as so'lcitor of the Duval county criminal court.

MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS Presented to Speaker Cannon and Vice President Fairbanks by Delegation Headed by Sam Gompers, veasaer vahevn and vice sresicenr Fairbanks Thursday announced . their belief that the present congress will pass an employers’ liability act. which will meet and overcome the “unconstl- tutlonality cf the present law, polgted out by the supreme court of the United States in a recent decision. ‘ These statements were made to a delegation, led by President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation ot Labor, from elghty-seven national and international trade-and Jabor un- iops and organizatiops of farmers, as- gale in a national conference in Washington. The delegation called on the speaker to Iay before the house of- representatives, through him, a me- morlat entitied “Labor's Protest to Congress.” i The scope of thls memorial was set forth in the following opening para- | graphs: “We, the official representatives of the national and international trade |and labor unlons and organizations of farmers, in national conference assem- bled, in the District of Columbia, for the purpose of considering and taking action deemed necessary, to meet the situation in which the working people of the country are placed by recent decisions of the courts, now appear be- fore congress to volce the earnest and emphatic protest of the workers of the country against the indifference, if not actual hostility, which congress has shown toward the reasonable and right- eous measures proposed by the work- ers for the safeguarding of thelr rights and interests. “In the name of labor, we urge upon congress the necessity for immedtate action for rellef from the ‘most grave and momentous situation which has ever confronted the working people of this country. This crisis hes been brought about by the application by the supreme court of the United States of the Sherman dntitrust law to the “workers, doth organized and in thelr individua! capacity. “There is something omInous In tho fronic manner In which the courts guarantee to workers: : “The ‘right’ to be discharged for be- longing to a labor union; é “The ‘right’ to work as many hours as employers pleasé, and under any conditions which they may impuse. “Labor is justly indignant at the be- stowal or guaranteelog of these worth- less and academic ‘rights’ by the courts, which, in the same breath, deny and forbid to the workers the practical and necessary protection of laws which define and safeguard thelr rights and Uberties and the exercise of them In- dividually or in assoclation.” MURDER CHARGED TO THREE, Trio of Negroes Bound Over for Kill- ing Pawnbroker in Atlanta.

JAPS TO SEE FLEET Cordial invitation of Mikado Has Been Acceptedy CABINET ACTS PROMPTLY Washington isisia ater thes be na Wil! Also Request a Visit, “Thus Making the World Itinerary Complete. . — The American battleship fleet Is to visit Japan. The desire of the em- peror of the Island kingdom to play host, to the “big sixteen” was laid before Secretary Root at Washington Thursday by Bayon Takabira, the Jap- snese ambassador. The inyitation, which was couched In most cordial terms, was made the sub- lect of extended consideration, by Pres- ident Roosevelt and his entire cabinet Friday, Secretary Root was directed to ‘accept the Invitation, and the accept- ance Was laid before the Japanese am- bassador later in the day. It is regarded in officia circles as more than Hkely that China will bo next to bid for a look at the fleet, and that should this be the case the in- vitation would be accetped. Secretary Metcalf and Admiral Plils- bury, chief of navigation, are arranging the details of the new itinerary. Wita ‘the exeeption of Chica, it is believed to have been determined thet all other Invitations, should any be recelved, ‘will be declined, for, at best, the fleet will not be able to reach, the Atlantic until next March. ‘The intinerfry which seems to be most direct includes stops at the Ha- wallan islands, Samoa,, Melbourne, Sydney, Manila, Yokohama—should that port be sélected as’ the stopping place in Japan—posslbly a Chinese port, back to the Philippines, and then home by way of the Suez canal, . Tho fall target practice has been planned to occupy a month at Manila, either before or after the visit to Ja- pan, Although target practice is re- garded ag decidedly important, and the custom ts to have the ships occu- py 8 month each spring and fall in gun practice, the desire to have the fleet retum to its nome station may lead to a curtailment of the month planned for Manila. Japan will have the ships a week, according to tentative plans. While the stops in foreign ports so far made have been of an average of ten days’ duration, a part of that time was oc- cupfed in taking on coal. The acceptance of the Japanese in- vitation is regarded In official circles as of considerable importance in the way of-a demonstration of the cordlal- ity existing between the Wmerican and Japanese governments. Late Friday night the State depart- ment gave out the Japanese note invit- Ing the American battleship fleet to visit Japan and the president's re aponse accepting the invitation. ~ CREEKS WOULD SELL LANDS, Hold Convention and Ask for Removal of Restrictions. & The Oklahoma delegation im con- gress Friday were advised that at a convention of Creek Indians Thursday at Cheoita, Okla, resolutions were adopted favoring the removal of tie restrictions put upon alienation of lands of mixed btoods and asking for the removal by thé secretary of the Interlor of the four Creek delegates ard the attorney In Washington who have been orposing the proposition. _ MISTAKEN FOR SMUGGLERS.

A resolution condemning the present State administration as exemplified by, 'the present governor, and calling for a state convention, subject to the call of the chairman, to put out a state pop- ulist tleket, from the governor down, and the selection of forty-nine tee gates to theiattonal convention in N Louls, was the action of the Godrgia state populist executiye committea meeting in the senate chamber at At- Janta Tuesday. o A heated discussion was precipitated by a resolution, which not only rapped the present administration, but endors~ ed the candidacy of Joseph M.-Brown. Jt was.apparent that this resolution was going to bring dn a discussion that would last indefinitely, so Chairman J. J. Holloway promptly named a com- mifiee of three on’ resolutions to settle - ‘the matter. This committee was out but a short time and returned with the resolution shorn of the endorse- ‘ment of Mr. Brown, and amalgamated with agall for a state convention to ‘mame a populist ticker, ao | ‘The resolution passed with only two dissenting votes. It is as follows: “Resolved, by the representatives of the populist party here assembled, That . we deplore the disastrous policies of the present state admifnistration as ex-. emplified by the present governor, and we think the best interests of the farm- ers, laborers and business men of the state would be well conserved by a change in the administration. “That it 1s our desire to call a popu- llst convention in the capitol, Atlanta, tor the purpose of putting out a full state populist tickét, from governor down.” The section referring to the candl- dacy of Hon. Joseph M. Brown, which was stricken out, was as follows: “Whereas, Hom. Joseph BI. Brown, a patriotle and capable business men, in whom the elements of Intellect and af- fection are admirably commingled, fit- ting him fn a rare degree for the prop- er discharge of ths great responsibll- ittes of this exalted” officg, we, there- fore heartily commend ws candidacy to all the people of Georgia.” Chairman Holloway will later take action on the calling of a state conven- tion for the purpose of nominating a state tieket.

Before the clepsydra.had bound the days Man tethered.Change to his fixed star,and said: *The *Edor* races, that long since are dead, March 14 that light; it swerves not from its base. Though all the worlds about it wax and fade." When Egypt saw it, fast in reeling spheres, Her Pyramids shaft-centred on its ray She reared and said: "Long as this star would shine." In unrivaled ether, shall the years Revere my monuments—" and went her way. The Pyramids abide; but through the shaft That held the polar pivot, eye to eye. Look bright nothingness! As though Change changed. At man's presumption and his pungy craft, The star has slipped its leash and roams the sky. Yet could the immemorial piles be swung A skyey hair's breadth from their rooted base. Back the central anchorage of space, Ah, then again, as when the race was young. Our faith full-centred on it. It was known Thus of the elders who forran us here, Mapped out its circuit in the shifting sphere. And found it, 'mid mutation, fixed alone.' Change laughs again, again the sky is cold, And down that fissure now no star-beam glides. Net they whose sweep of vision grows not Still at the central point of space behold Another pole-star; for the Truth abides. -Edith Wharton, in Scribner's Magazine. THE WOMAN ENTERS. By KATHARINE LYNCH. In the chaparral on the edge of the bluff Dick Matson lay flat on his stomach, his chin propped on one hand, while the other rested lightly on the shining barrel of a rifle. Below, on the further bank of the river, Escolante, the cattle-thief, strutted back and forth before the door of his cabin, his gun in his hands, his strident voice proclaiming to the air his disdain for all gringos in general, and for the white-livered chingado Matson in particular. Matson, unseen, and his presence only dimly apprehended by the strange animal instinct of the half-breed, could hear with sufficient plainness the gusts of wrath and oblargement which floated up from below; and when his own name was mingled with especially acclid vituperations, the rage to which he dared give no more audible vent expressed itself in tense and impotent mutter-fins. "I'll get you you, you old cattie-thief, O Lord, O Lord, to have to lie here and take such blasted impudence from a black-hearted Apache mongrel!" This when Escolante's remarks on the status and heredity of the gringo became particularly personal and historic. "Wish I wasn't a white man and I take a pot-shot at you for luck, just as you stand, you cattle-stealing, lying whelp. Cursed nonsense anyway, waiting for proof, and taking a man to the law, when I know darn well you've a steer of mine stowed away in the bushes somewhere. Wait till I find your cache, or catch you red-handed; and I'll make you sweat for this." So each vocal volley from below, directed against the unseen foe that the half-breed apprehended to be lurking near, was answered by the hidden enemy with one no less heartfelt because of being, for strategic purposes, necessarily unheard. As the time passed Matson's limbs grew increasingly cramped and stiff. Decidedly, he reflected, Escolante had the best of the game. He warily stretched himself into a new position. The hours slipped by; and still the half-breed, warned by his subtle instinct for danger, kept up his grotesque parade; and still the watching man was baffled of his clue. The shadows lengthened on the river. A few crows, loudly caving, shook themselves out of the branches of a tree near the cabin and winged themselves for the homeward flight. Dusk was all but fallen; and the watcher painfully stirred his limbs, preparing for a furtive retreat, when a new element entered the scene below. The girl who stepped to the door of the cabin was slim and lithe as a willow from the stream. Her black hair fell sleek and straight on, either side of her face, hanging in thick braids nearly to her knees. She raised one hand to her forehead, shading her eyes for a long look up the river, and the movement had the supple, untaught grace of a wild thing of the woods. Matson drew his breath in something that came dangerously near to being a whistle. So this was Escolante's daughter—child of a Mexican mother and a half-breed father—who since her mother's death had been with the sisters at Santa Barbara. He vaguely recalled having heard of the girl's return. This could be none other than she; for what woman, young and beautiful, would foregather with that wicked old Escolante. He cautiously reached for his binoculars, with which he had so carefully scanned the landscape earlier in the day. The girl stood as if posed, straining her level gaze toward the sunset. The glass revealed her face, a warm brown oval, the curves as soft and perfect as a child's, yet with the fullness and richness of early womanhood. The heavy brows were arched. The thick lashes, fringing lids now wide-flung, over soft fawn- like eyes, surely must shadow her, cheek when the lids were lowered. The red, curving lips were slightly parted, disclosing white teeth; firm-set and regular. The glass did its work well. The girl might have been standing close by; so close that if one reached out a hand one might touch the brown curve of the cheek, or part the silky masses of her hair. The n.a.n caught his breath sharply till it hissed between his teeth. The pain in his limbs was forgotten. The girl's face held him like a spell. Suddenly the upraised hand fell to her side. Escolante's daughter turned, with a swift grace and entered the rude cabin. The sun's red rim slipped below the horizon. Soon a light shone in the cabin. -The man on the bluff lay watching it till far into the night. But his head was sunk on his arms and his gun was unheeded at his side. When a black figure for an instant darkened the doorway his heart leaped up. Then the old gleam of hate sprang anew in his eyes. It was the half-breed. The man in the chaparral softly raised himself. "I'll settle you yet," he exulted. And in the dark he shook his clenched fist at the cattle-thief. Then he stealthily withdrew. A month had passed and again it was the dark of the moon. The time had dragged heavily for old Escolante, for with the accursed gringos so closely watching, even a practiced hand must move warily, and it was hard to go empty with fat cattle feeding at one's very door. To Dick Matson time had flown on golden wings. Love and hate war well together in a strong man's heart; and the red lips of Dolores were sweet. To the girl the month had passed as a day. It is good to live when the blood is warm; and young love is daring and does not wait for the dark of the moon. On this night Escolante ate his last meal of frijoles and tortillas without the customary sullen scorn. He even ventured a few coarse jests with Dolores, who was dear to him as the apple of his eye. A man may well jest whose knife is whetted for the killing, and who knows that on the morrow he will feed fat, voliding his hate and filling his stomach at one and the same time. Dolores met his badinage with easy response and well-simulated affection. It is easy to scatter careless affection from the lips when the heart is brimming over with love. Without, men gathered quietly in a certain lonely glade. The night was heavy about them. In the silence each man could hear his own heart-beat and his straining breath. The little voices of the night shrilled loudly, and the sound of the cattle cropping the rich grass was like a thousand crunching engines in their ears. The waiting had lengthened to hours before a fat steer coughed and fell under the knife. Then something whirred in the gloom; and then a lantern flared out. Escolante was caught red-handed. His ludicrous dismay when the deft-fluing riata tightened round him drew a burst of rough mirt from the sheerft as he slipped on the half-breed's wrists the symbol of the law and its bondage. But when Dick Matson stepped from the darkness and reclaimed his riata the cattle-thief broke into fierce vituperations, for this was the most hated, and therefore the most preyed-upon of all the gringos. "Save your wind, old man," laughed Dick Matson. "You'll need it for the blessing, for to-morrow I marry your daughter." Escolante grew livid and his jaw dropped. Then he opened a fresh volley of imprecations, hurling the lie in the gringo's teeth. Dick laughed a careless laugh. "Come here, Dolores," he said. Like a shadow the girl slipped out of the blackness and stood beside him. Dick slid an arm about her and bending kissed her full on the mouth. Then the half-breed went mad with rage, and spat and screamed out curses on the pair until it was horrid to hear him. The sheriff and his men had trouble to hold him. Dolores trembled and shrank against her lover. But Dick Matson only laughed his easy laugh and tightened his arm around her. Then he turned and drew her with him into the forest. No more cattle are stolen or killed within the range of the Cross Bar X. The cattlemen sleep well of nights and Dick Matson grows rich off his profits. Several plump brown children play about his door; and of those he is inordinately fond, as is also Dolores, who see in them adorable, replicas of the man she worships. The two are very Lappy, for Dolores is still slim and beautiful; and Matson wants no better life than that of the range and his own fireside. There are moments, however, when the hair stiffens on the back of his neck, and a chill runs along his sping. These are the moments when he reflects on the fact that the utmost that the courts could award to Escolante was a life sentence; and that there is always the chance that a prisoner may escape, or that a toollient governor may exercise the right of pardon.—San Francisco Argonaut.

Now was that sleight of hand? —Washington Herald. By A. B. LEWIS. He stood in front of the laundry with a far-away look in his eyes and appeared to be deciding some momentous question. Finally he entered the place and said to the young man behind the counter: "I see, son, you need laundry hands." "Yep," was the reply. "Want a job pushing a flatiron?" "Fergit it! I'm tryin' to git Sarah a place. She's my wife." "Had any experience?" "Sarah has had experience in all kinds of work," he said proudly. "Why, I've-seen that woman make pancakes, fry eggs, cook beesteak, iron socks, gossip with the neighbors, and lick a couple of the kids, all at the same time. That's a woman for you, my boy! What's the wages?" "She'll get four dollars per if she's any good." "Any good? Say, you ought to be around some Monday mornin' when Sarah is cookin' breakfast, tacklin' the week's wash, an' gittin' six children ready fer school. Can't no one beat her, if I do say it myself. But there's one thing I want to warn you about." "Well?" "Don't cross her." "Don't cross her?" "No. Don't cross her, or any other red-headed woman weighin' 200 pounds, fer that matter." Bout ten in the mornin' Sarah will want to sit down an' smoke her corn-cob fer a spell. That's a dangerous time to cross her—a dangerous time." "Smoke her corn-cob?" repeated the laundry clerk in astonishment. "I guess not. No smoking allowed here." "Sarah will do it. She claims that what's good fer man is good fer woman, an' she knows good tobacco a mile off. What time to-morrow will I send her around?" "We can't use her here. She's probably all you say she is, but we can't have smoking here. Why don't you try that blacksmith shop on the next corner? He needs a helper, I understand, and she could smoke herself do death there." "No; I guess not," he said after thinking over the suggestion. "It's hardly a woman's work, but I'm bettin' Sarah would shoe a hoss inside of a week or know the reason why. An' I be sorry for the hoss what kicked her. Well, so long." "Say!!" called the laundry clerk as the man was leaving, "how did you get that black eye?" "That's what comes of crossin' a good woman like Sarah," he replied, —From Judge. Odd Preserves. Perhaps the oddest of all jams (some of which is imported into this country) is made from a red pulp obtained from the seed vessels of the common wild rose of Europe. It is brick-red in color and, as might be imagined, is in flavor entirely unlike any other known kind of preserve. In parts of the South what is known as "peach leather" is made from peach juice, which is put into bright pans and dried in the sun. In the dry state it looks a good deal like leather, and is eaten without further preparation, keeping for an indefinite time. There is commonly manufactured in Turkey a similar product from grapes, the juice being evaporated to the consistency of molasses. Some flour is mixed with it, and the stuff is spread in thin sheets upon muslin, being then exposed to sunshine for a couple of days. In the same Oriental country walnuts are commonly strung upon twine, and after coating them with a mixture of grape-molasses and sugar are dried. Travelers bound on long journeys frequently carry these strings of nuts, which afford much nourishment in concentrated shape. In California a delicious syrup is made from orange juice, which, of course, is quite rich in sugar. And in Virginia watermelon syrup, which is said to be particularly delicious, is not unknown as a local product. Philadelphia Press. Workmen Eat Much Sugar In lumber camps and in the mines of Canada and the colder sections of the United States workmen consume large quantities of sugar in the form of molasses. Tea and coffee is often sweetened with molasses, and in some places is it added to almost every article of food. The same is true to a greater or less extent in the logging districts of the South, where molasses and rice mixed together have become almost a staple diet. Sugar is contained in large proportions in many natural foods, such as fruits. Sugar of milk is part of the natural food of the infant. From consulting the tables it will be seen that the carbohydrates (sugars and starch), are needed and consumed in much larger proportions than either of the other two chief classes of nutrients. A person requires more than twice as much of carbohydrates as he does of protein and fats combined. Hence the carbohydrates might be called the chief class of food nutrients. They make up a large part of vegetable food and in general are very completely digestible. Sugar, it is declared, is completely digested.—What-To-Eat. Old Age Pension. The Canadian Government has decided to enact legislation of Parliament providing pensions for old age. The chief-purpose is to encourage thrift and saving among the working classes. The title of Reverend was first used in England in 1657. FOR THE FARMER AND STOCKMAN Don't Neglect the Stock. The neglect of sheep and lambs brings the farmer out of pocket, as well as in other stock upon the farm. Let good care and good feed be the infallible rule with all farm stock. One Essential to the Other. There is no use in denying the fact that in these days of intensive farming the farmer has got to have the assistance of the scientific man; but this is by no means all, for that good A Waste to Doctor. In ninety-nine cases' out of every hundred it is a waste of time to doctor sick chickens. It may pay some time when the fowl is an especially fine one, but as a rule you can save worry by using the hatchet. Good care, good food and cleanliness make the best physic, and if these are systematically applied, there will be but few sick fowls. When to Trim Trees. An authority upon the subject of fruit growing says that he prefers winter to spring for pruning his orchard. The tree, perhaps, does not peel off so easily when rubbed by the ladder or the boot heels. Then another thing, which is of quite a little importance, is that it is much easier to get about the tree tops when the trees are free from leaves or blossoms. Fowls in Cold Weather. According to good practical authority when the cold weather begins the capacity of the hens for finding a portion of their food will be lessened, hence they must be supplied by the poultryman. Not only will ground oyster shells and gravel be necessary, but green food and water. Green food is easily obtained by using finely chopped clover, which should be steeped in boiling water and fed early in the morning. Only Results Count. A cow may possess many of the points of excellence which among the judges are considered as indicating good qualities; she may possess the triple wedge, the soft, mellow skin, the slender neck, the clean head, the dished face, the large, fine nostril, the prominent, bright eye, and yet with all these good features she may possess a meaty udder of small capacity, thus rendering her incapable of large and continuous-milk production. Results, actual results, form the final test of excellence after all.—J. V. Vernon, New Mexico Experiment Station. Mated, Not Matched, Horses In his instructive work, "The Brible Bits," Colonel Battersby (who is a veteran officer and expert horseman) observes that horses put together as a team because they are of the same height and color or look alike, and have been driven with different and various bits, yet don't go well together, are numerous and ought to be divorced. This may be because, although they are mates, they are not matches, and while one is worth $500 the mate is not worth $50. If horses are not well matched in every respect, especially in the mouting, they must be driven, with different bits and the length of the inner or outer rein regulated according to the disposition of one or the other of the team to pull with or against each other, and thus fall into "lagging." Borax in the Dairy. A few years ago most anything "neutral" for milk or cream or butter so long as it came from a cow. Now things are changed. The public realizes, the dairyman realizes and the farmer realizes that there is just as much difference between milk from pure utensils and milk from "stale" utensils, as there is between milk and chalk and water. The problem of keeping sweet all the utensils used in connection with milk and cream selling and butter making has been a serious one with the farmer. He has come to realize fully that the slightest taint or hint of staleness left in a can, tin or churn may ruin a whole output; that the taint which is left in in the form of bacteria which grow and multiply in milk or butter, producing, disastrous results. The farmer has learned that hot water won't rinse away the greasy residue in dairy utensils. He has learned that soap leaves a residue of its own which is, if anything, worse than the milk or cream residue, and it is little wonder that there has been a constant clamor for a dairy cleanser and sweetener that will meet modern requirements. A few of the largest creamy establishments called experts into consultation on this problem, and these scientific aids decided unanimously upon a product of nature which exactly fills the bill—borax. Scientists have long known borax as a cleanser, a sweetener and an antiseptic destroyer of bacteria and germ growths, that jestroys all that is harmful and promotes and preserves freshness, sweetness and purity; and relieves the dairyman and dairy housewife of drudgery and of needless work and worry. Its purity, effectiveness, cheapness and value should give it first place in the necessities of every dairy. One Essential to the Other. There is no use in denying the fact that in these days of intensive farming the farmer has got to have the assistance of the scientific man; but this is by no means all, for that good, sound, practical knowledge, which he has been so many years in acquiring, is an all-important factor. When we have the two nicely blended together in a man of sound, good business judgment, we have before us the ideal prosperous farmer. At the Maine dairyman's meeting this winter Professor Jordan, of this State, who is not only a full-fledged scientific man, but a farmer's friend and assistant through and through, in dwelling upon the subject of applying scientific principles to soil fertility, said that "the question of fertility is highly important. The commercial fertilizer may have settled the question in part, but it is not yet solved. We must now meet the sharpest competition, and the farmer who can put the most skill into his products will win. We cannot escape the trend of modern civilization; modern methods are complex. Our products are selling in critical markets. This calls for a special training. The usefulness of experiment stations depends upon how farmers reach out to grasp their teachings. The experiment station cannot take the place of your own personal knowledge." That's the idea exactly. The farmer is not in a position to do the work of the experiment station, nor is the experiment station capable of doing the work of the farmer. They must work hand-in-hand. From a financial standpoint the farmer has all the advantage, and foolish indeed is the man who does not avail himself of the opportunities for learning afforded by the experiment station as they are offered to him. Ducks and Geese. Waterfowl have attracted more than passing attention of late for market. The cultivation of egg-producing strains of ducks has made possible the keeping of ducks at a greater possible profit; where ducks will lay sufficient eggs during a year to hatch a brood or two and to pay for their own feed, they are a very profitable product. They are-easily kept within an enclosure, grow fast, cause but little trouble or anxiety after they are a week or ten days old. The consumption of ducks as dressed poultry is largely on the increase, and for some reason or other they always sell at the higher price at the same season of the year than that obtained for poultry. Geese, while growing in favor, are more difficult to manage; they do not pay so well unless you have rough waste lands, with swimming pools, from the fact that geese are heavy grazers. Some assert that six geese will eat as much grass as a cow. This is not an actual fact, but geese do consume a wonderful amount of herbage of many kinds. For this reason, low, marshy lands that cannot be made use of for other kinds of grazing can be most profitably utilized for the growing of geese. On lands of this kind they can be kept through the entire year, providing there is a high place on dry land that they can come to at night during the stormy weather. Lands that are unfit for other kinds of stock may be most profitably made use of for the growing of geese. In selecting geese, it may well be remembered that feathers are one of the profitable considerations, and that white feathers will sell for one or two cents more a pound-than will colored ones. There are many kinds of geese that may be made use of, each grower selecting the kind best suited to his locality. More pounds of goose meat can be grown in the same number of days with less cost per pound than in almost any other fowl, from the fact that more than one-half their entire sustenance can be grazed from the marshy lands, being fed only for the first two or three weeks of their existence and after cold weather sets in, when they are to be fed and fattened for market. To have the best results from turkeys, ducks and geese, one should select and have in hand on his farm the stock to be made use of as producers the next year prior to the first of the year. Ducks and geese brought on to a place after the first of March are not likely to prove very profitable during that season. A well-set flock of geese do best in their second year, and continue, to do remarkably well as producers for many, many years. It is always best to change the ganders at least once in two or three years. Keep the old geese so long as they will lay eggs and produce a flock of goslings. Ducks do not continue as profitable breeders much beyond the third year. Very old geese cannot be made palatable for dressed poultry. Ducks can be quickly fattened into palatable food at almost any age; if taken when quite thin in flesh and fed on rich, fattening foods they will fill up, with juicy, palatable meat in a few weeks and make fairly good market fowls.—Country Gentleman.

A political surprise evolved from a meeting of wage workers in Macon when strong resolutions were adopted in which Hon. Joseph M. Brown was endorsed for governor of Georgia without a dissenting voice. It was a meeting of the Wage Workers' Protective Association, and a large number of persons were in attendance. Cuts Revenue of Suburban Trains. The Central of Georgia railway company has filed a petition with the railroad commission asking its permission to remove certain suburban trains running between Atlanta and Jonesboro, on the ground that the establishment of the electric trolley line between Atlanta and Hapeville has so interfered with the business of these trains as to make them unprofitable. The Central seeks to take off one hundred times daily trains. The Central seeks to take off one Sunday and two daily trains. Will Not Canvass from Stump. Ion, Joseph M. Brown, who has announced for governor, states that he will not attempt to canvass the state from the stump. It is Mr. Brown's purpose to reach the voters of Georgia rather through correspondence and the daily press than by making campaign speeches. He further sttaes that he proposes to make his campaign wholly upon the is- Treasurer of the State of Georgia. sues and that he will not inject into it anything of personalities. The senate Saturday passed the bill of Senator Bacon providing for an appropriation of $15,000 to establish a fish-hatching and fish-culture station for the propagation of shad in Georgia The station will be located on or near the seacoast, at some point to be designated by the secretary of commerce and labor. In reporting the bill, the chairman of the committee on fisheries attached a letter from Secretary Straus, indorsing the measure. Business Men to Enter Politics. Following the announcement made by John A. Murphy, a director in the Atlanta chamber of commerce, at a meeting of the directors, that it was time the chamber of commerce was taking a hand in city politics and seeing to it that members were elected from each ward that would represent the best interests of the city, forces have been quietly at work to formulate a "business men's ticket," which will be announced in a short while, to be voted upon at the coming city primary. State Treasurer R. E. Park has received from the Central Bank and Trust Corporation, receiver for the defunct Neal Bank, in Atlanta, a check for $65,502.90, being the balance due on the state's deposits with that institution. The state treasurer was paid $125,000 some days ago, and the court ordered that the balance be paid within twenty days. The depositors who fought the state's claims to a prior lien on the assets of the Neal Bank did not give the required bond to prevent the payment of these funds to the state, though they have already appealed from Judge Ellis' decision to the supreme court.

Since the Cotton Seed Crushers' Association of Georgia announced the offer of $100 in gold to the school children of Georgia for the four best compositions on "The Uses of Cotton, Seed and Its Products," the department of agriculture, at the capitol, has been swamped with childish requests, in regard to cotton seed, cotton seed meal, cotton seed hulls and, cotton seed oil. Commissioner.of Agriculture Hudson and Assistant Commissioner Wright have answered each of these requests at once, and furnished all of the information at hand. The children are limiting their compositions to 750 words, which are being turned over to their teachers, each teacher selecting the three best from that school, and these are sent to the county school commissioner to select the best one, from the lot, to be sent to the state judges, soon to be announced. These judges will award $50 for the best composition; $25 for the second; $15 for the third, and $10 for the fourth. The children are taking up the various uses of the cotton seed products, some writing on its as a fertilizer filler, others tell of its use as a cattle feed, others of cotton-seed off as a cooking substitute for lard and still others as a treatment and cure for consumption. 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. New Railroad Chartered. A charter has been granted by the secretary of state to the Georgia, Alabama and Western railroad, a 60-mile line to be built between Camilla, in Mitchell county, to Newton, in Baker county, thence through Baker and Calhoun counties to Fort Gaines, in Clay county. The charter was issued to J. B. Kaufman, of Atlanta, in person, who stated that the road was to be built and the bulk of the capital furnished by C. Sprinkle of Vincennes, Ind. The new road has capital stock of $500,000, and the principal offices will be in Atlanta. The charter runs for 101 years. TWO BIG ELEPHANTS AT LARGE Escaped from Circus at Live Oak, Fla. and Caused a Big Score. The people between Valdosta, Ga. and White Springs are greatly excited over the roaming at large Thursday in that section of two big elephants, which escaped Wednesday night from the Van Amberg snows at Live Oak, Fla. The elephants escaped while being loaded on the cars, and got away from their keepers in the darkness. It is reported that they did considerable damage to the farms and truck patches in their line of march, smashing fences and tearing up the crops. At one time the elephants were surrounded by farmers nine miles from Genoa, Ela, and were fired upon. The animals became frightened and dashed away. SOL. C. JOHNSON Notary Public.

LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM Decided Upon by President Roosevelt Which Will Be Put Squarely Up to Congress. President Roosevelt has determined on a legislative program, the enactment of which will be urged upon congress in a special message. Each of the measures to be proposed involves perplexing difficulties, and each will have far-reaching effect on the business and economic conditions of the country. The program is the product of important conferences through which the president has been put in possession of the clews of all interests concerned. Likewise, the attitude of the leaders in both branches of congress has been made known. Its success depends on the combined effort which he believes can be brought to bear in behalf of the whole plan by those accepted, especially by some of its features. The program includes: A declaration in favor of a revision of the tariff in a special session to be held after March 4, 1909; an amendment to the Sherman anti-trust law so as to make important concessions to combinations of both labor and capital; limiting the powers of certain courts in the use of the injunction in labor disputes; passage of an employers' liability bill; passage of the Aldrich financial bill. The support of the business and financial interests of the middle west was pledged to the president on this program following an extended conference held at the white house Friday night. A most satisfactory conference was held at the president's offices Saturday with leaders of the two houses of congress. ONE DOSE ENOUGH FOR ANNA. Divorced Wife of Profligate Boni Wants No More of Matrimony. Madame Arna Gould, the divorced wife of Count Boni de Castellane, arrived at New York from Paris Thursday on the steamer Adriatic and denied that she is to marry Prince Helle de Sagan. "I have had enough of married life," she said. "I am not engaged to any one." Madame Gould was accompanied from Paris by her three sons, Bonl, Jay and George, the custody of whom the French courts awarded to the mother. The party was met at the pier by Miss Helen Gould, Mrs. George Gould, and Mrs. Tyler Morse. All were later driven to the Fifth avenue home of Miss Helen Gould. THE State committee has met and all signs point to harmony in the Republican ranks in Georgia. TOM BLODGETT came and has gone. He is full of vituperation against those whose places he wants. After May 14, Mr. Blodgett and his ill-advised followers will not be heard from. CHATHAM county and the First Congressional District are the best organized Republican stronghold in the state. Credit for this is given by leaders all over the state, yet a few disgruntled ones are finding fault. THOSE who are harping the loudest against the Republican organization are only doing so from a selfish standpoint. They want to stir the people up and ride in on whatever sentiment they raise. The conservative registered voters are on to their game and at the proper time will show them that demagogic methods will not do and that they are unsafe as proper leaders: On evidence slimly circumstantial, Mr. Henry Perry has been incarcerated for writing an alleged "Black Hand" letter, threatening Judge Speer. The writer is un-American and should be captured and severely punished. Those who know Mr Perry are loud in protesting his innocence, and we assert that our people are above such anarchistic methods. They are too loyal as citizens to become assassins. The white man Langbell has been found not guilty in the United States Court for assaulting Mr. Deveaux. The recorder found him guilty. His accomplice was also found guilty and Judge Speer inflicted a penalty upon him for the offense. Langbell is said to have been the main aggressor. By appealing to race hatred his lawyer convinced the jury that a white man should not be convicted for assaulting a colored man. Yet our southern white men say that they treat the colored man fairly; this is a sample. Saying Girls. In New York city, Philadelphia and in other centers we are glad to take note of the organizations that have for their object the saving of Negro girls who are induced to come from the South to the North. Hundreds of girls come to the large cities of the North who are unprotected, without friends and without any guarantee of securing any employment. To begin with, unscrupulous agents are at work in many parts of the South for the purpose of getting these girls into the large centers of the north for immoral purposes. When that is not true in other cases these girls come North seeking labor and do not find it, and in a few days find themselves without money. Under these circumstances they fall as easy prey to temptation and in many cases soon go to the bad. Wherever possible our people should give strong and immediate encouragement to the organization that has in hand the saving of these Afro-American girls. The above is clipped from the New York Age and partly shows that the pitfalls for girls from this section who go North are many. At this season many of these girls are preparing to migrate North. Parents and friends who are interested in them should not fail in giving them advice along the above lines. Republican Committee Met The Republican State Central Committee met on Wednesday in Atlanta. The gathering was large and the session very harmonious. It proves that the discordant element will not be tolerated and that this state will be found doing that which will be of most benefit to the party at large. The following resolutions presented by Hon. H. A. Rucker meet the approval of all thoughtful Republicans: "Resolved. That the convention of the Republican party of the state of Georgia be and hereby is called to assemble in the city of Macon, on Thursday, May 14, ensuing, for the purpose of nominating a state ticket, Governor and other state officers; electing four delegates-at-large to represent the state at the Republican National Convention in the city of Chiles go, June 16, next; for the reorganization of the party in the state and to transact any other business which may properly come before it. "Resolved, that the Republican State Central Committee cordially indorse the administration of President Rossevelt as vigorous and honorable, high-minded and patriotic. We commend it without reservation to the considerate judgment of the American people. "Resolved, by the Republican State Central Committee of the state of Georgia, in meeting assembled, that we most emphatically condemn the proposed constitutional amendment now being submitted to the voters of Georgia, by which it is proposed to disfranchise a large part of the citizens of the state on account of race and color, and we urge all fair-minded ed voters of the state to do all in their power to defeat said amendment at the polls." Thoughtful Action Means Much for Colored Republicans. EDITOR TRIBUNE: As the time for the convening of the State Convention draws near, the storm signals begin to appear, and the warriors begin to predict what the result of the battle will be and to forecast what the consequences of neglect or refusal to follow certain—always theirs—line of action, will amount to. It is amusing to see the avidity with which the aspirants for leaderships are rushing into print—some of them not all with hair-raising declarations of what "I will do, but it borders closely upon disgust to see the presumptuousness shown by some of the pretenders. If the matter, in all of its phases, were not of so serious import, we might well regard it as a first class vaudeville show. If the adage "the empty barrel makes the most noise" be true, then the loquacious Colonel Tom Blodgett must indeed be dangerously close to the exploiting point, for his fulminations is something to marvel at. The ambition on the part of any man to rise is a most laudable one, but Colonel Tom, in the excess of confidence, seems to think that he is the legitimate answer, beyond the peradventure of a doubt to the question. "Who is IT?" Seriously, though, while we do not think that the leaders of the party have in all cases, shown the proper degree of consideration for it, welfare as a whole nor have they been altogether free from guilt of the charge of placing personal ambition to the fore, it is a very grave question as to whether a change just now would be wise—especially if that change was radical. It would seem infinitely better policy to show the wayward the error of their way, and then, if they do not mend them, bestow the condign punishment advocated by Colonel Blodgett. The Negroes are the only members of the Republican party who will suffer if ill befall it, for the white Republicans have a refuge always, and it incumbent upon us to look well and to be sure that the path to be trod is, if anything, less thorny than the path we have trod. As a Negro, I am proud of any Negro that has ever risen to a high position in or by the party, although I may sometimes feel that he has acted unwisely, and, mayhap, unjustly, in some things; likewise I am just as much disposed to trust those white men who have, for years, stood by, and sometimes with us, even tho in the exercise of their opinions and rights, they have done things with which we did not agree. If all the world thought alike, there would be no political parties. As matters now stand in Georgia, in a general way the conflict is between the old guard of the party headed by State Chairman W. H: Johnson, and the Republican State League, established ostensibly to defeat the disfranchisement law, but soon wrecked on the sea of discord and too much ego, and now the personal vehicle of Colonel Tom Blodgett on one side, and Colonel Job Sistrunk on the other. But Colonel Sistrunk can easily be eliminated as a potential factor, leaving Colonel Blodgett with all the field to himself. Colonel Johnneon has been affiliated with the party actively for years, and we all know him. Encomiums are neither necessary nor proper here, but simple justice demands that he be given credit for what he has done, even though some of the thigs done by him might not have pleased us. As Chairman of the state Central Committee, he has been fair to all concerned, and loyal to the best interest of the party as far as he was able, and as to him seemed best. As a man, he is approach able, and has the confidence of his friends, and as an opponent he has never taken an unfair advantage, as far as is known. The old guard stands by him, and they who have helped to blaze the trail, must have some reason for the faith that is in them, based on the best of mentors, experience, and why should they not have? On the other hand, Colonel Blodgett seems to have grabbed bodily the disfranchisement issue and with the known partiality of the Negroes for Senator Foraker, to be using it as a lever with which to pull, pry and force the Negroes to line up with, and put, him in power. He seems desirous of becoming the grand Chancellor of the party in Georgia, and to accomplish this, has played almost unceasingly upon our emotions. But he has overlooked the fact that there are some Negroes to whom emotionalism does not appeal; they prefer to calmly and dispassionately consider the matter and act upon deliberate conclusions. Colonel Blodgett seems to think that the right to think for us has been deeded to him in fee simple, and has acted accordingly. We do not think, however, that either Bishop Turner or Dr. White gave his State League the benefit of the use of their names for any other than the reason that they wanted to see more life installed in the party. They certainly could not have done so from any feeling of animosity toward the present leaders. But Colonel Blodgett would think otherwise, and right there is where it is unfortunate—for the Colonel—that he is neither an oracle or endowed with the gift of second sight. Indeed, the Colonel reflected on the intelligence of the Negroes when he asks them to believe in his sincerity when he express his purse of laughter in his own brothers Ed. and John, when he became able to do so, for very few of us question as to who would be laughed if that conflict ever came to pass. And, then, slaughtering is hardy—and while the Colonel is hardly a barbarian, it is further true that any Negro would look askance at the white man who promises, in return for their support, to devour any other white man, especially his own flesh and blood. Really we could not swallow, that. It is too good, or rather, barbarian, to be true in this age of civil ization That was a vital error for Colonel Blodgett, and has caused the him chance that he had to vanish if it were thin air. It is always a bad policy to presume that you are "IT"—and it is worse to grow savage about it. Most people though, do not discover this until too late. His abuse of Colonel Johnson, Rucker, Deveaux and Lyons not to mention his castigation, orally, I mean, of his brothers, has hurt him beyond re covery. Abuse never carries conviction and conviction is what wins votes and makes for strength—and victory. In the battle now approaching, the party will succeed or fail as it acts wisely or unwisely, and it is imperative that no false steps be made. The time for action has come, but with it has also come the necessity of thought, consideration and care, and we shall be blind to our own best interest. if we fail to keep always in view the high purpose of "the greatest good to the greatest number," rather than the selfish consideration of personal elevation without regard to fitness. We know what our past leadership has been, and we must exercise care, less in changing, we do so to our own hurt. PARTY MAN. Atlanta, Ga., March 20, 1908. College Dots. Quite recently under the direction Prof. L. B. Thompson, the Collegians enjoyed a rare treat in the character of a sacred concert. Miss Nettie Houston of Savannah took part in the program. Her singing needs no comment. The Collegians are always glad to see her, always delighted to hear her sing. Two sermons have been preached to the teachers and students since the last Dots. One by Rev. W. T. Moore of St. Paul C. M. E. Church and another by Rev. W. L. Cash, of First Congregational Church of Sayannah. Both sermons were simple, practical and powerful. Rev. Moore preached from Deuteronomy and Rev. Cash from Luke The Farmers Conference April 2. and 3. In the day farming topics will be discussed and at night more questions will be discussed by distinguished speakers. Garden and flowers seeds for all delegates. Second Baptist Church. The revival is in progress here and will open up in full blast to-morrow. Several candidates for baptism. The sick are better generally with two exceptions. Three funerals during the week. Owing to Pastor May being called upon to preach the funeral of Mr. Geo. Hanson, Sunday morning at the residence, Bro. Jas, H. Rogera preached the eleven o'clock sermon; all say it was the greatest sermon of his ministry. Rev. Dr. Stone (white) who has recently toured the old country preached an excellent sermon' Sunday night. This church and pastor will commune with the First A. B Churah the first Sunday in April. The rally books are out and can be secured from Deacons Rogers and Osborne. The pastor's rally day last Sunday was greatly hindered by the rain it will be therefore continued through to-morrow and all members are requested to come and pay up. The Sunday School is rapidly progressing under the new features introduced by Superintendent and Secretary. But for the assistance of friends, Pastor May's residence would have been completely destroyed by fire Thursday, the damage however are slight. Special sermon to the unconverted to-morrow at eleven o'clock; all invited. Regular services throughout the day as usual. Bethlehem Bapt. Church. Rev. Blair preached two instructive sermons last Sunday. The attendance at each service was large. Sunday was our rally and the collection was good. Sunday school was conducted by Supt. F. H. Williams.

Williams preached an able sermon, all hearts were made to feel glad. Preaching on Wednesday night by Rev. Washington. All are respectfully invited to come and help us in this battle. Ministers Union The Eyangelical Ministers Union met in St. Phillip A. M. E. Church Divine service was conducted by Rev. W. L. Cash. Sermonic report was given by Rev. W. L. Cash. The sermon was so full of good thought until it caused half an hour discussion. Revs. J. S. Jenkins, B. S Hannah, R. V. Branch, R. H. Robinson, C. D. Johnson, W. T. Moore and G. H. Lennon led in the discussion which was very helpful. The theological questions of Dr. Brockett, Revs. Robinson and W. T. Moore were then taken up. Rev Robinson's question was settled when the Union held that St John the writer of the text said that the scripture might be fulfilled. Rev Moore's question was settled when the Union held that Christ make little of the young lawyer. Dr. Brockett's question was left unsettled because of his absence. It will be taken up when he is present. Rev J. D. Stone, the white evangelist, was introduced and gave a timely address, which was enjoyed. Theological question next Tuesday: Dr. Lindsay want to know if all men will be saved. Christ said "toat if I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me." Dr. Stone wants to know what kind of work we can do greater than Jesus Christ. Come out Tuesday. All ministers of the city are invited to be present at these great discussions. Dr. J. H. KING, Pres Baptist Minister's Union: The Baptist Minister's Union met Monday. After the devotional exercises, minutes read and approved, sermonic reports were made as follows: Revs. B. Molett "A man of courage." J. E. Edwards "The Importance of having a shepherd," D. Miles "Christ the bread of life," G. S. Stone "The gospel." From these subjects the brethren showed that much research had been made. Rev. H. D. Martin the educational missionary of the General State Baptist Convention of Savannah district and also Revs. W. M. McKinnie and G. S. Stone were introduced to the Union. Rev. A. H. Banv's was admitted to membership. Union Baptist Church Union Baptist Church Services last Sunday we grand. Rev. H. E. Dunn, B.

Eddie Elam is on the sick list, Sister Annie O. Newsome, one of our faithful sisters will leave us soon for Wyscross, Ga. we all will miss her. F. A. B. Church Dots. F. A. B. Church Dots. The unfavorable weather had a very telling effect on the attendance at each service Sunday at the First African Baptist Church, Franklin Square. Rev. A. Johnson preached very acceptably at the morning and evening services. Our rally is still in progress, and the members who were in arrears are paying up pretty well. Tomorrow (Sunday) at the 11 o'clock service, Evangelist W. A. McKinney, D. D., of Lancaster, S. C., will deliver a special discourse; subject, "Three ways." Rev. McKenney's success in the evangelical work, assures us of the fact that his discourse will be both interesting and reviving. We invite you to come and hear him. Supt. J. A. Saydar is busily engaged preparing the scholars of the Sabbath school for children's day exercises. This branch of the church work continues to make a fine showing at every call of the church in her financial struggle. The reproduced concert given at the church on last Monday evenlog was a success. The church owe to the members composing the Invincible All Stars Concert Troupe many thanks. Morning Star Dots. of who its services as usual) At 11 a.m. general prayer services which were soul stirring.

The great good that this institution has done for us in this community should cause us to do full duty for the school. Our friends in the north have been untiring in their efforts for our educational institutions, and we should in a more tangible manner prove to them that we appreciate what they have and are doing for us. Unless we begin now to show tangible appreciation we can hardly expect a continuance of their unattended support. This notice of the meeting is not restricted to any special ones, but it is extended to everybody. The hope is expressd that there will be a large gathering. Popular Church Worker Thursday night of last week, Mr. L. M Fisher died. His death was a shock to his friends. He has not been in good health for some time, but continued at his usual vocation, and in fact was up the day of his death. Mr. Fisher was an old member of St. Philip A. M: E. Church from where he was buried on Sunday afternoon. His funeral was largely attended and he was buried with Pythian honors, being a member of Olympia Lodge. He is survived by a widow and son who have the condolence of friends. Last week we chronicled the fact that Capt. J. S. Starr had passed a very creditable examination and had his license renewed as a master of steam vessels and pilot of inland waters of three states. We are proud to note that there are several others, including Capts. C. H. Murry, W. D. Armstroug, Seabrooks and Parker, two of whom are actively engaged in work. Along with Capt. Starr these gent'eemen are deemed competent and have been honored accordingly. The Raines School of Millinery I will begin teaching Monday March 23, 1908.

This new leader in the Celes- tlal Kingdom is Yuan-Sth-Kal, who not long ago was appointed president of the beard of foreign affairs at Pekin, He was formerly viceroy of Lbib-LI, entering on the duties of the office when that province was in dis- order and chaos. He grasped the relgns of government with a firm hand, put down thieves and plunder- ers of all kinds, and made himself feared and hated by all evil-doers In that section of the’country. The good effects of his, strong and righteous rule became speedily apparent, and he was recognized as the ablest and most patriotic official in the whelo empire.

DEALING WITH ANARCHY BEGUN Washington Officials Admit Difficultios—Not Optimistic as to Outcome of the Latest Measures—Effective Measures Too Drastic to Recelve Popular Sup- Canis tnolthanictis that ts ines Gemnbenataen Inclement cath Annan S Washington, D. C.—Itmay not be reassuring Information, butthe Wash- ington officials are none too optims tle about the outcome of the attempt to drive all the anarchists from the United States. Those officials whose duty it is to deat directly with the 2n- archists cannot talk for publication, The officials wh can issue orders to Immigration inédectors telling. them to be alive to their duty have talked for publication, but. the talk, like much of the work done, 1s impotent. Some one here has said that anar- chists are made, not born.. This ts largely true, and anarchists will be made as long as there are anarchist teachers who get within touch of re- ceptive pupils. This means that as long as there are anarchists in the country thelr ranks will grow dally. Since the shooting of the priest at the altar In Denver and the attempted killing of the chief of police, Shippy, in Chicago, the Senators and Repre- sentatives haye been busy talking about immigration measures, but they have confined thelr talking largely to the corridors and cloak rooms.« Most of them ‘are just as afraid to-day to pass a restriction bill that meang re- striction as they were before the shootings gave them sharp excuse for the passing of an absolutely drastic measure. . One member, who fs not more than one generation removed from belng a foreigner himself, told your corre- spondent that It wouldn't do to draw a line part way up the continent of Europe and to say that no one from below the line"should come to this country. “What we ought to do,” he said, “is to draw a line down the'mid- dle of the Atlantic Ocean and another one down the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and to say no one shail cross." Restriction Problem Difficult. ‘When a New York Representative, on the floor of the House, spoke in advocacy of a really restrictive Immi- gration measure, several Representa- tives whose constituents are largely Southern Europeans, at once began missionary work. They told the other members what a wrong it would be to punish the many because of the fail- ings of the few, and they did not neg- lect to-tonch on the matter of power, the balance of power, of course, which the men coming from some ‘of the European countries hold at the polls in Americ? One member, an Inols man, told a colleague who was urging na action, that it would be far better for him and for his people in the future to have all immigration stapped from thelr native countries for a series <t years, until the United States had op- portunity to assimilate those that were here to that point of assimila- tion which means the dropping of hy- phens and writing of themselves as ‘ PANAMA CANAL MUST FAIL, SAYS STEVENS.

Some other means must be found; if the desire be to debar from the country tho men whose “thinking drices them mad.” There fs xecognition in Washington of the fact that In the heat and pas- ston following the recent Denver mur- der, and the attempted assassination In Chicago, there 1s a disposition on tho part of the police officials to con- fuse anarchism with socialism. and- with other forms of thinking and practice which take no cognizance of violence in any shape. The dificulty is that in the heat and passion the gf- ficials are apt to do things which they ought not to do, and which tend. to Increase, rather than to diminish, the plague ‘which. they are secking to eradicate. Another dimeulty is that when the heat and the passion havo passed, there comes forgetfulness and the officials lapse into the old state, of apathy, to stay in {t-until some new violence rouses them. All that has been sald within the last. week was sald Immediately fot- lowing the assassination of President McKinley. Then anarchism was to be ktiled, and anarchism kept on Ny- ing, and, from all appearances, it ts preity much alive to-day. The Wash- ington preaching is ford systematle and continued pursuit of thé anar- chists, but the preaching, if one may fudge’ by the past, will’ not be fol- lowed by the practice, Congress can do much with’a proper form of fmmi- gration bill, but there {s no present prospect that Congress cares to un+ dertake the Work. pies appears Panama Canal .annot hope to become anything more than an expense.

Mr. Stevens is not unique, however, as a prophet of evil for ship canals. Forty-odd years ago many-British and other mercantile economists weré cocksure that the Suez -Canal could never pay expenses. Yet for years the directors of that work have Id periodically to reduce thelr tolls on shipping in order to keep their net yearly profits from exceeding the twenty-five per cent. permitted by the charter, and the+$20,000,000 worth of shares which the British Govern- ment purchased in 1875 are now es- Umated to be worth fully $155,000,- 000. -There is no objection to Mr. Stevens keeping compgny with those who went so wide of the Suez mark, ‘Trustees of Northampton Academy } | of Music Report Gain of $2000. | Northampton, Mass.—The trustees ‘of the Academy of Music havo mado ‘public thelr annual report showing for tho financial year, which corre- sponds with the ‘calendar year, a profit of $2000.
