IN W. C. T. U. MEETING. Smith Brown Contest Causes Wrangle Among Cartersville Women. Among Cartersville Women. A meeting of the local Woman's Christian Temperance Union, of Cartersville, Ga., which was called for the purpose of passing resolutions endorsing Governor Hoke Smith's candidacy, and denouncing Hon. Joe Brown, caused a number of sensational incidents, and finally adjourned with no action taken. Mrs. Sam P. Jones, president of the Cartersville union, vacated the chair, and offered her resignation, to take effect when the resolution, indorsing Governor Smith, was adopted. Mrs. Jones made an impassioned speech, in which she declared that she could not endorse Hoke Smith, in view of his statement regarding wine and beer, as reported by the Associated Press. "I am as good a prohibitionist as any of you, but I cannot wear this little white ribbon, which means total prohibition, and go on record as indorsing Hoke Smith. I offer my resignation." The resolution was adopted by the union by a vote of 6 to 5, but after Mrs. Jones' resignation, this action was rescinded, and the motion tabled, and Mrs. Jones was prevailed upon to again take the chair. ITALIANS WANTED BY SOUTH. Powderly Says Farmers in Dixie Are Calling for Them. That Italians, especially northern Italians, are very much in demand on the farms of the southern states, despite statements to the contrary by several prominent men in this section, the claim made by T. V. Powderly, chief of the division of information of the bureau of immigration and naturalization at Washington. "What the south needs," said Mr. Powderly, "is immigration.

RIOT IN PENSACOLA. Advent of Strike-Breakers to Take the Places of Union Street Car Men Causes Trouble. The bringing of a car load of strike breakers to Pensacola, Fla., from St. Louis Friday afternoon by the Pensacola Electric Company was the signal for rioting and disorder such as has not been experienced in that city in twenty years. No sooner had the strike breakers arrived, and started from the union depot for the car sheds than a fight occurred between them and the sympathizers of the union men, and from the corner of Palafox and Wright streets, where the first battle occurred, there was a continual riot, in which bricks, bottles and shells were hurled at the strike breakers, and in turn the latter fired shots, used heavy sticks and bricks. For over an hour the riot continued, the strike breakers gradually getting nearer to the car barns; but before they reached there about a dozen had been wounded and were picked up on the streets where they were left by sympathizers of the strikers. When near the car barns, so fierce was the onslaught on the body of imported men that they separated and fled, thirty running into a negro house, while the remainder reached the car barn and barricaded the doors. There they remained during the night with friends of strikers surrounding them. The thirty men who gained the negro house barricaded the doors, and it took the police over an hour to disperse the mob and remove the men to places of safety. The riot occurred so suddenly that the detail of police, headed by Chief Saunders, was powerless for some time to quell the disturbance. At 10 p. m. the mayor issued a proclamation ordering all saloons closed. The board of public safety ordered the marshal to swear in a sufficient number of deputies to quell any further disturbance. RETURN OF COTTON TAX Urged by Representative Alken Through Passage of His Bill. In an elaborate speech in the house of representatives Friday, Mr. Alken of South Carolina urged the passage of his bill to provide for refunding to lawful claimants the proceeds of the cotton tax collected by the government illegally, as he claims, in 1863-68. The total amount of this tax, he said, was more than sixty-eight million dollars, of which the eleven cotton states paid nearly sixty-five million dollars. MASSACHUSETTS UNPLEDGED.

WON'T TREAT WITH UNION. Pensacola Street Car Company Answers Chamber of Commerce.

SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. APRIL 18. 1908. CHELSEA IN ASHES Boston Suburb Almost Obliterated by Conflagration. LOSS IS TEN MILLIONS Four People Lose Life and Half a Hundred Injured, Some of Them Fataly—Ten Thousand People Are Left Homeless. The greatest fire that has scourged any part of the metropolitan district of Boston, Mass., in ten years, devastated the manufacturing, tenement and retail sections of Chelsea, a suburb, on Sunday and Sunday night, burning over one square mile of territory and leveling many of the city's best structures. The fire started at 1:40 a.m., and was not under control until 9 o'clock Sunday night, notwithstanding that half of the Boston fire department's strength and steamers from a dozen other cities and towns went to the aid of the Chelsea brigade. The loss is estimated at fully $10,000,000. About 10,000 people are homeless. Late Sunday night four bodies had been recovered from the ruins: Half a hundred persons were injured, some fatally. The fire originated in the rear of the Boston Blacking company's works on West Third street. A terrific gale, which at times had a velocity of 60 miles an hour, put the fire beyond control. Among the structures destroyed were thirteen churches, two hospitals, the public library, city hall, five school houses, twenty business blocks, nearly a score of factories and upwards of three hundred tenement and dwelling houses. Orange Packers Meet Death at Hands of Unknown Parties. Three men—Charles Whitehurst, George Griffin and Charles Smith, white, orange packers—were killed by unknown parties at Lake Harney, 23 miles from Sanford, Fla., by unknown parties. While the victims and ten other white men employed in a packing house, were sleeping, a party of armed men set fire to the house, and as the inmates ran from the burning building, the attacking party opened fire on them with rifles and shot guns. Ten escaped and aroused the neighborhood, but no clew could be found to the assassins. The men killed were recently from Georgia. The crime is said to have been the work of men who had been refused employment in the packing house, who resented bringing packers from other places. HOBSON STILL PREDICTS WAR. Says Clash-Between White and Yellow Races is Inevitable. Debate on the naval appropriation bill in the house of representatives on Saturday resolved itself in the main into a discussion of the possibilities of a war between the United States and Japan. In line with his well known views on the subject, Mr. Hobson of Alabama pleaded for four battleships instead of two. A war between the yellow and the white races he regarded as inevitable, and he asserted that Japan's present military activity was with a view to the supremacy of the Pacific and as a natural consequence there would be a clash at arms with the United States. Little Delaware for Judge Gray. The result of the primaries of Saturday indicate that Delaware will send practically a unanimous delegation to Denver in favor of Judge George Gray for the presidential nomination. ELECTRIC COMPANY IN TROUBLE New Orleans Concern Goes into the Hands of Receiver. The Consumers' Electric company of New Orleans, with capital stock, bonds and other obligations aggregating in the neighborhood of $2,500,000, was placed in receivership Friday. The petition declared that the company had defaulted in payment of interest due on the bonds. The Consumers' Electric company is one of two companies supplying electric light and power in New Orleans. MILLIONS THROWN AWAY In Establishing and Maintaining Navy Yards of the Country, is Charge of Representative Lilley. Representative Lilley of Connecticut, whose charges against the Electric Boat company and the subsequent investigation have brought him into the limplight, spoke on the naval appropriation bill in the house Saturday. He devoted himself almost exclusively to navy yards and brought out startling facts and figures. He took occasion to introduce a resolution calling for the appointment of a commission to report on the advisability of abandoning the navy yards and naval stations at Kittery, Maine; Port Royal, S. C.; Charleston, S. C.; Key West, Fla.; New Orleans, La., and Mare Island, Cal. Of the Key West yard he said: "At this yard, in the fiscal year ending in 1907, $94,318.77 was expended for labor and the value of their total product was but $7,126.18, or there might just as well have been tossed on the coral reefs $87,192.59 as far as any return to the government was concerned, and yet last session of congress voted to throw $44,500 more of good money after the bad." "At Kittery there is a dry dock which costs $1,100,000. The dock is in readiness for the docking of first class battleships, but the approaches are in such a condition as to make it advisable to take first class battleships to that yard. "But the point that the business man would fail to comprehend is that $10,000 was appropriated at both sessions of the last congress for new construction at New Orleans, and for what advantage to the United States navy God only knows." Charleston, S. C., furnished Mr. Lilley with his most remarkable navy yard figures: "During the past five years $213.13.75 has been disbursed among laborers," he said. "and there has never been done for the navy one cent's worth of work at this yard. Yet, at the last session of congress $278,000 more was appropriated for this yard at Charleston. "Annapolis, for which congress has sen fit to appropriate sums that reach a total of over $10,000,000, is sunk in the mud. Battleships cannot reach the academy, and the United States coast and geodetic survey reports show that the upper Chesapeake is fast filling-up." Can Henceforth Engage Only in Interstate Commerce Business. By the judgment of the supreme court of Tennessee, in an exhaustive opinion delivered by Justice Neil, the Standard Oil company is ousted from the state of Tennessee, for the acts of this company at Gallatin, in restraining trade. By the judgment of the court the Standard Oil company can only engage in Interstate commerce, as far as Tennessee is concerned. PROBLEM OF THE UNEMPLOYED Put Up to President Roosevelt in Report of Edwin Meserole. The "problem of the unemployed" was laid before President Roosevelt Saturday by Edwin J.

ORDER IS UNEARTHED Betjeman la Beneficiary of Unpublished Order Issued on March 27, to Aid in His Work for Something of a sensation was caused at the Georgia state capitol Monday by the unearthing of an unpublished order of the railroad commission, which permits Chairman John A. Betjeman of the Georgia Immigration Association, which is interested in bringing foreign immigration to Georgia, to accept and use free transportation over the railroad lines in the state. The order is dated March 27, last, and was not given out to the press of the state, as has been customary with the commission. Heretofore all of its orders have been given out freely for publication, and just why this one should have been withheld, is not stated. The fact is it was not given out until its existence was discovered by A. H. Ulm, correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle and the Macon Telegraph, who asked for a copy of it that it might be furnished his papers. Mr. Ulm states that the commission compiled with his request with apparent reluctance. So far as is known Mr. Betjeman is the only exception the commission has made to its order of October 29, 1907, forbidding the issuance of free passes to any persons except those specifically allowed to receive interstate transportation under the terms of the Hepburn law passed by congress. Mr. Betjeman has been for the last two years practically the head of the immigration movement in Georgia, conducting the corerspondence, arranging for the coming of foreign immigrants and locating them after their arrival. President Condemns Giving Away Water Power Privileges. In a special message vetoting a dam bill, President Roosevelt warned congress, Monday, that there are pending in this session bills which propose to give away without price stream rights capable of developing 1,300,000 horsepower, whose production would cost annually 25,000,000 tons of coal; argued in vigorous terms the establishment of a policy such as the filibustering minority in the houses demands, which would safeguard the granting of bridge and dam privileges and require the grantees to pay for them; and definitely announced a future policy on his part with regard to prompt utilization of construction privileges by refusing his signature to a bill giving an additional three years to the Rainy River Improvement company, within which to build a dam in the Rainy river.

Refutes Charge of Governor Smith That His Candidacy Was Inspired Han. Joseph M. Brown, candidate for governor of Georgia, makes reply to the recently published statement of Governor Smith, charging that he was the candidate of the liquor interests. In part Mr. Brown says: Governor Smith, in the evening papers, April 10, published a card which begins with the following words: "The letter of Mr. Joseph M. Brown confirms the charge that a combination of liquor interests has been made to capture the state." This "charge" to which Governor Smith alludes was made in his own organ, The Atlanta Journal, April 7; hence evidently was inspired by him. In other words, tracing it to its source, the "charge" was doubtless Governor Smith's own. The "charge" thus made by Governor Smith was that I "was the candidate selected to represent the saloon interests." This charge is so void of truth that it would receive no attention from me but for the fact that he is governor and seeking reelection. Now, of course, my candidacy represented in its incipiency those whose requests that I run, and pledges of earnest support brought me out. Who were they? The Wage Earners' Protective Association of Macon, 1,800 strong, hundreds of farmers and marble workers of Cherckee county, besides other petitions and letters signed by confederate veterans, travelling salesmen, manufacturers, farmers, merchants, labor organizations and others in various walks of life, from the marshes of Charlton to the peaks of the Blue Ridge. These were absolutely the only people who wrote or spoke to me or who communicated with me in any manner or by any means whatever in regard to my running for governor of Georgia. These were the people who declared that Governor Smith's incumbency in the office he holds had already disastrously damaged and would ultimately wreck the prosperity of the state. Hance, as these, and these alone, were responsible for my raising the standard against Governor Smith's misrule, his extravagance and his blunders, these, and these alone, are the parties whom he terms "a combination of liquor interests and corporate interests" which, by my candidacy, would "debauch our state." BRYAN LOSES IN NEW YORK. Democratic Convention Averse to an Instructed Delegation. The first day of the New York democratic state convention in New York city closed with a defeat of those delegates committed to the candidacy of William Jennings Bryan.

When the state convention organized the Bryan men offered a resolution instructing the delegates to be chosen for Mr. Bryan. It was referred to the committee on resolutions, which met in the evening, and in turn referred the Bryan resolutions to a subcommittee of seven. The subcommittee's report was received and adopted by committee on resolutions by a vote of 28 to 4. A minority report of the subcommittee calling for an instructed delegation was received and adopted by the committee on resolutions by a vote of 28 to 4. A minority report of the subcommittee calling for an instructed delegation was defeated by a similar vote. The Bryan men declared later that they would carry the fight to the floor of the convention.

These copies will be mailed to members of the legislature and commercial bodies throughout the state together, with a request for co-operation with the Atlanta chamber of commerce toward a betterment of the present statutes. The garnishment and attachment laws are responsible for the Southern railway's recent withdrawal of its deposits from the banks of Georgia. Perkins Doing Excellent Work. According to Hon. Oscar S. Straus, secretary of commerce and labor and a member of President Roosevelt's cabinet, who visited Georgia the past week, Albert G. Perkins, cotton seed expert abroad for this department, is at present in Brussels, where he is doing most excellent work for this industry. Secretary Straus, in speaking of this matter, said: "I am of the south, and it is my pleasure to do all that I can in the furtherance of southern industries. I hope to see the solid south transformed into the 'sound south,' Secretary Straus is seeing to it that Secretary Straus is seeing to it that and I believe this day is coming." the reports of Expert Perkins on cotton seed by-products in Europe are printed in the consular reports, which are proving a means of opening up a new field for this important southern industry throughout all Europe. It is possible that Secretary Straus will address the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers' Association, which meets in Louisville, Ky., on May 19, 20 and 21. Premiums for Best Seeds at Fair.

Important Prohibition Decision. A sharp distinction is drawn by the state court of appeals in a decision handed down a few days ago in the case of Dr. E. M. Roberts of Atlanta against the state between a "public place of business" and a "private place of business," as meant by the prohibition law. The court holds, in substance, that a room used solely for the purpose of storage, which is kept locked, to which the public are not invited, and from which the public are excluded, and in which no business is transacted, is not a "place of business" in the sense of the prohibition statute. In the decision written by Presiding Judge Hill and, concurred in by his associates, Judge Calhoun of the city court of Atlanta is reversed in holding for a conviction in the case of Dr. Roberts, who kept stored in his private warehouse in Courtland street many kegs of beer, used in the manufacture of a prohibition drink. A steak today is better than a name tomorrow—so says a poet. WALTER S. SCOTT, Secretary and Tr-ces. PROHIS LOSE IN ELECTION. Aiken County, South Carolina, in Favor of Dispensary. Aiken county, South Carolina, voted against prohibition Wednesday. The total vote of 1,726 polled is but about half of the strength of the county, the interest being not so great as had been expected. With three boxes to be heard from, the result is: For dispensary, 833; against dispensary, 843. At Tallatha and Langley the prohibitionists will contest the election on the ground that registration certificates were not required. It is stated that the victory means the dispensary people will petition for a charter for the town of Hamburg and open a dispensary there. The majority of the town belongs to the state of South Carolina by default years ago on taxes. They advertised the property for sale, but it was never sold, for want of bidders.

When turkey hens desire to sit they Brewers' Grains. Dried brewers' grains rank close to bran in feeding value, containing a little more protein and fat, but not quite so much carbohydrates. It is claimed that in 100 pounds of this feed there are 15.7 pounds of protein, 36.3 pounds of carbohydrates and 5.1 pounds of fat. Malt sprouts and dried brewers' grains are valuable cow feeds, especially the latter. Sprouts are richest in protein, but not much relished by cows and should be fed only in limited quantities. Wet brewers' grains are apt to injure the quality of the milk.—Philadelphia Record. Better Than Whitewash A serviceable paint for farm buildings can be made by thickening sour milk or buttermilk with Portland cement and metallic Venetian red, or bright red paint powder to the ordinary paint consistency. I painted the outside of my barn (rough lumber) with this mixture and also painted a few boards with ordinary oil paint as a check, and six years after the milk paint had preserved the wood better than the oil paint. It has kept its color and shows no sign of age. This paint will not rub or wash off like whitewash. The grease in the milk seems to have the fixing quality, as I treld using water with the cement and paint and found it rubbed off readily. For this reason it is judged that sour milk is better than butter milk as it contains more grease. This sort of paint costs but little and can be mixed up instantly. It is very valuable for doing little odd painting jobs around the farm which might not otherwise get done. It is necessary to keep agitating the paint as the cement settles quickly.—G. E. M., in the Indiana Farmer. Stick to One Breed. At the meeting of the Illinois Dairymen's Association, Mr. W. E. Jones said, among other things, that whether your stock is Jersey, Guernsey, Holstein, Brown Swiss, or any other class of cattle, stick to your text, and once having made up your mind what you want, keep on in that line with a pure bred bull, and you will have a uniform herd of some kind, and as a general proposition a better grade of milkers than to jump from one breed to another each succeeding season. You get a reputation in a short time of having a herd of Jerseys, Holstein, Swiss, or some other breed of cattle, even if you never had a pure bred female on the place, providing you have a sire of the same breed for two or three succeeding generations. Even with the greatest care that can be used in selecting calves there will be disappointments. Occasionally a calf that you expected the greatest things from proves a disappointment. The best sires are often sacrificed before their real worth is known. On several occasions we would have given many times what a comparatively good bull could be bought for if we could get back some animal that had been sent to the butcher before his real worth as a breeder was known. Of course, this is an unfortunate condition that only time and close observation on the part of the breeder can obviate. Weekly Witness. Feeding Growing Pigs. There can hardly be a one rule method of feeding pigs, as conditions vary so much. It may be from the weather or something peculiar to the animals themselves that some litters can be fed heavily and others only very carefully for fear of crippling the animals. By care and practice a person can find out a proper method and should aim to carry it out systematically. It is not a wistful to feed any thing that happens to be handy and that will satisfy the pigs appetite, for it will result in making the pigs unthrifty, with consequent loss. Choose the ration that is best adapted to the conditions at hand and then stick to it. Do not keep too many pigs in one pen unless the space is large and has plenty of troughs. Troughs should be of the proper height, with partitions to prevent the pigs crowding each other from the trough, and this also keeps the food clean. Feed regularly and carefully, increasing in strength and quantity as judgment sees fit. The object should not be to fatten exclusively, as is too often the case, but to moderately fatten while keeping growing till the pigs reach a weight of 160 to 200 pounds. It is extremely important that the animals should be kept clean and dry. Remove the soiled and damp bedding often and replace with a little dry straw. Wheat straw is preferable, as it does not keep dampness or plack and heat as quickly as the others. While there is a great variety of material, feed to pigs, it should be remembered that it is the properly matured animal that gains the place of honor, though unfortunately it often happens that the man who produces the right material too often fails to treat the reward and benefit to which he is entitled.—Farmers' and Drovers' Journal. Young Turkeys. The main point with young, turkeys is to prevent them from being attacked by the large gray body lice, and the best way to do so is to begin with the parent. birds before the young ones are hatched, as lice usually go from adult birds to the chicks. When turkey hens desire to sit they should be anointed on the head once a week with some kind of oil, such as olive oil, linseed oil, or lard oil. This will kill the large lice and prevent the chicks from being destroyed the first few days of their existence. Grease is repugnant to poultry of all kinds, hence but little oil should be used. Apply it lightly on the heads, the combs, faces and necks, rubbing it well into the skin. It will render the hen more comfortable, prevent her from leaving the nest frequently for relief from torture, and will also save the chicks from being attacked. A few drops of oil on each chick once a week should be used, and more young turkeys will be reared. The secret in rearing them is freedom from lice and dampness. Feed them on bread crumbs moistened with milk, hard boiled eggs, chopped parsley, onion or lettuce and cracked corn and wheat the first two weeks, feeding four times a day, and removing all food uneaten. After they are two weeks old the food may be varied to suit the circumstances. Keep the ben confined in a coop, allowing the chicks to go in and out during dry weather.—Farm and Fireside. Know the Cows' Yield. For three years one cow gave annually an average of 11,300 pounds of milk, yielding 405 pounds of butter fat; the second cow 3,800 pounds of milk from which 128 pounds of butter fat were obtained. The first ate one-half more feed than the second but produced three times more. There was less than three-dollars difference in the cost of keeping and one averaged a profit of $37, while the other lacked $2 of paying for her board and keep. This is not an extreme case, but it is a frequent occurrence. The dairyman must know which cow pays and which one eats its head off, and profit as well. There is only one way I know of to determine this—by the scale and Babcock test, and the scale is as important as the test. By combining, every man in the neighborhood can have his cows tested at slight expense. Dairying in a business, and to be successful should be understood thoroughly. A merchant knows what he is going to sell, its cost and what he will make as profit. How many, after they get a cow in the stable, know whether she is paying or not? Perhaps the second cow could, by increasing her food a little, have been made to increase her yield of milk, but there would be lots of work and little profit in handling a herd of such cows. I believe business principles must be applied to any calling to make it successful.-Prof. J. E. McClintock, Agricultural College, Orton, Me. Producing Lean Pork. The production of fat or lean pork is a question of both breed and food. Some breeds run to fat and others to leanness, both of which natural tendencies may be greatly modified, if not entirely overcome, by feeding for desired results, but it takes more feed to fatten a naturally lean hog than for a naturally fat hog. If the brood sow belongs to a family naturally fat her pigs will tend in the same direction; but if they are fed lightly after weaning and compelled to forage in the fields for most of their feed, the active life will prevent them accumulating much fat and turn a large share of their food into lean meat, the natural product of constant exercise. If this is kept up for a few generations, the characteristics of the breed, so far as these special animals are concerned, will be completely changed. Nature will come to their assistance and gradually fit them for their environment. The scrub hog and the razor-back produce lean meat naturally, but they can be changed into lard hogs by confinement and heavy feeding in a few generations. The less active the animal, the softer the bone and the greater tendency to fatten. In all lines of breeding the question of feeding has much to do with the results attained. The smooth, broad backed, short legged hog will soon degenerate into a scrub in the hands of a poor feeder. In breeding for lean hogs, therefore, all these points should be considered and while the breed should be selected which has a tendency in this direction, the management and food should be of signature to develop this tendency still further. In doing this it will not be necessary to go to the razor-back, or some big, coarse animal, with an abnormal appetite, and big bone. The improved breeds can be made to answer the purpose with careful feeding and will produce lean meat at much less cost than the common breeds.—Enjomist. Explains Cause of Dreams. Dr. Mark Baldwin, of the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, explains dreams by saying they are caused by images which have been impressed upon detached portions of the brain and which are brought into action by a rush of blood to the head or through the absence of the usual amount of blood. של כל שני שמות המשפט Appliance For Keeping Cue Steady. In playing billiards and pool it is the custom of the player to crook the index finger of one hand to use as a holder and guide for the cue, while the butt is grasped by the other hand to make the shot. There is one decided disadvantage in this use of the cue when the hand is damp or moist from perspiration. The moisture checks or retards the forward motion of the cue. Experts use lotions to prevent this perspiration, and other expeditients have been adopted for the purpose. The flesh of the index finger also prevents the Gambling Part of a missionary lay b of birch logs in the smoking a black cigar his guide grill trout.

These objections are overcome in the device shown here, which is merely a sleeve or tube through which the cue passes, and is encircled by the index finger. The inner end of the sleeve fits the hollow between the thumb and finger, while the forward end rests against the second finger. The hand which holds the cue does not come in contact with the cue, so that any perspiration cannot in any way retard the movement of the cue. The exact amount of pressure necessary to insure correct movement can thus be gauged with accuracy and nicety. — Philadelphia Record. Would Help Music. At a brilliant "At Home" given by a society woman a pianist of worldwide reputation was asked to perform. When he had finished, the lady's young daughter was made to sit down and play her new piece.

Trees and Lightning The trees most apt to be struck by lightning are those that conform most naturally to the law of electrical motion—that electricity moves along the path of least resistance. Flammarion, the great French scientist, published in 1905 a list of different kinds of trees, showing the number of times each species had been struck by lightning during a given period. The figures are: Fifty-four oaks, twenty-four poplars, fourteen elms, eleven walnuts, ten firs, seven willows, six beeches, four chestnuts, but not a single birch.—The Reader. 7 Gambling Part of Religion. A missionary lay beside a campfire of birch logs in the Maline woods, smoking a black cigar, and watching his guide grill trout. "Speaking of gambling," the missionary, said, "I know of a sect that regards it as a religious duty, like fasting or prayer. "This sect is the Hindus. They one day in each year gamble like mad from sunrise till sunset. The day is the festival of the lamps, a day sacred to Lakshun, the goddess of wealth. A tremendous lot of money changes hands in Lakshun's honor. "All this gambling is done to test the financial success that will attend on each person throughout the year. If a gambler loses he knows a year of hard luck is ahead of him. If he wins he knows he may expect a twelfemonth of prosperity. "Strange to say, a good deal of cheating accompanies this religious gambling." — St. Louis Globe-Democrat. He Didn't Have a Dollar He didn't have a dollar, he didn't have a dime; his clothes and shoes looked as though they had served their time. He didn't try to kill himself to dodge misfortune's whacks.

He kept on advertising and just now, suffice to say, he's out in California at his cottage on the bay.—Mecca Herald. [Name] "Do.you believe in an actual devil who rules over a burning lake?" "Sure."

Britain Had Her Share of Tragedies in Olden Days—One Empress and One Queen in the List—Some Attempts to Kill That Failed—Russia's Reign of Terror The assassination of the King and Crown Prince of Portugal recalls the long list of monarchs who have been killed by rebellious subjects with real or fancied grievances against the State of by conspirators against the throne or by maniacs. Since the very earliest days of history the heads that wore the crowns have had good cause to rest uneasy. Often the next heirs or close relatives of the monarchs have been the instigators of their murder. In the case of Edward II., King of England in 1377, it was his wife, Queen Isabella, daughter of Philip IV. of France, who suggested that he should be done to death and she looked on calmly while the murderers killed the King by thrusting a red hot poker into his abdomen. The assassination of James I. of Scotland in 1437 was like that of Dom Carlos in that his wife, Queen Joan, tried to shield him with her body as did Queen Amalia, but in the case of James also the heroic effort of his wife was unavailing, as he fell pierced by the swords of the murderers. In this age of reason there are many doubts cast upon the reputed murder of Edward V., who, with his brother, the Duke of York, is supposed to have been smothered in the Tower. Bayley in his history of the Tower of London quite discredits the story, and it may be that Richard III., the wicked uncle of tale and picture, did not really have this deed upon his already overloaded conscience after all. James III. of Scotland, who was stabbed at Kylesite in 1488, appears to have rather deserved the fate some of his long enduring people meted out to him, for he caused great suffering among them and was absolutely regardless of right or justice. But the assassination of William of Orange at Delft in 1584 was quite without adequate reason. The murderer was not Dutch but Burgundian, and was in the bodyguard of the Prince. His only excuse for the deed was that he was convinced that "so long as the Prince lived he seemed likely to remain a rebel against the Catholic King and to make every effort to disturb the rights of the Roman Catholic Apostolic religion," so he fired three shots at his royal master, who fell exclaiming "Oh. God, have mercy on my soul! Oh, God, have mercy on my people!" The murderer was submitted to horrible tortures and finally put to death. Henry III. of France, the last of the Valois line, was killed by a Dominican monk in 1589. As he was undoubtedly a cruel King and the instigator of three murders among his unfortunate relatives, the nobles, who were certainly relieved by his sudden exit, ought to have rewarded the monk for his service, but instead they most ungratefully put him to death at once. Henry IV, of France was killed by Ravalliac in 1610. This King seems to have been as kindly as he was wise, and Ravalliac's only reason for the crime was that he killed the King because he feared that he was going to war against the Pope. Gustave III, of Sweden, who was stabbed to death in 1792, was the victim of a conspiracy. The nobles were discontented with their monarch and resolved to put him out of Elkins on Rich Senators. Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, the other day had one of the current lists of millionaires in the upper branch of Congress. It carried him as the third richest man in Congress, one whose credit would be $25,000,-000. There were thirty other supposed millionaires on this Senate list. "Discount those figures by ninety per cent," said Senator Elkins, in all seriousness, as he surveyed the names of his very rich colleagues, "and they will be more nearly correct. It is the honest truth that many of the men listed in the Senate by these writers as worth all the way from $1,000,000 to $60,000,000 each would be willing to take ten per cent. of these estimates in cash to day. "Run over the names of the wealthy men of the Senate," continued Mr. Elkins. "There are admittedly some wealthy men among its members. They are nothing like as rich as they are represented to be, but with only one or two exceptions you will find they are self-made men, who started in very modest circumstances. "In some ways, this kind of exaggerated talk about millionaires predominating in the Senate is not just. I have personal knowledge from my long business associations that the figures are greatly exaggerated. Observers, familiar with affairs, here, know that very rich men do not control in matters of legislation. They bear their part of the work, according to their ability and service, just as do all, other Senators."—Washington Post. Devll's Darning Needle. The "devil's darning needle" is the popular name of several species of the dragon fly. They are so called from their cylindrical bodies, resembling needles. They are not poisonous. the way. According to time honored anarchistic methods the murderer was selected from their number by drawing, lofs. The man who chose the fatal paper which made him a regicide decided to kill the King at a fancy dress ball which he was to attend at Stockholm, so as Gustave entered the ballroom he received his death blow. The assassin was executed, but all the instigators escaped punishment. Emperor Paul of Russia spent his entire life trying to escape assassination and at last was choked to death by a. band of conspirators. His excesses were so horrible and he was so insane in his cruelties that it is small wonder his life was always threatened. His murderer was not put to death, but merely sentenced to expulsion from St. Petersburg. On June 4, 1876, four days after his abdication, Abdul Aziz, Sultan of Turkey, was found dead. He was probably assassinated. In 1881 Alexander II. of Russia was killed by a bomb thrown at him as he was driving to the palace after he had taken the oath. There was no great surprise at the murder of Nasr ed Din, Shah of Persia, for the lives of Eastern rulers are notoriously insecure, but his Majesty had been twice to England and by his personal charm and tact had made himself very popular. The special feature of this crime was the cruelty with which the assassins were punished. They were placed in pits as deep as they were tall and these were filled in with plaster of paris. Then water was poured on, with the result that as the substance set the poor wretches were slowly crushed out of existence. The murder of the gentle and sorely stricken Empress of Austria is still fresh in people's minds. Lucchoni, her assassin, said when captured: "If all anarchists do their duty as I have done mine bourgeois society will soon disappear." The Empress was killed at Geneva. King Humbert of Italy was assassinated in 1900 by an anarchist, Angelo Bresci, halling from Paterson, N. J. In 1903 King Alexander and Queen Draga of Servia were killed in their palace by some of their own people. Their history was not a pleasant one and they seemed to have rushed from one mad act to another without considering what the end would be as their unpopularity increased among their subjects. Besides all the royal victims who have suffered death there have been numerous others who have escaped assassination, but who have spent all their lives in fear of it and often on the very verge of it. Frequent attempts were made on the lives of Napoleon III. and the Emperor of Austria. Queen Victoria, popular as she was, was not free from danger and only just escaped the attacks of Oxford and a half witted youth name O'Connor. King Edward, when he was Prince of Wales, was fired at in Brussels. William I. of Germany was seriously wounded in an attempt on his life. The narrow escape of the King and Queen of Spain on their wedding day is worldwide knowledge, and of course the life of the Czar of Russia is one constant precaution against the machinations of his enemies.—New York Sun. A Religious Despot and His Rise. The amazing story of "Elijah" Sandford and his sect of "Holy Ghosters" is told at length in Harper's Weekly. It is an almost incredible story—the story of a religious fanatic who has built a fleet of ships and acquired a fortune for the propagation of his faith, and who numbers his followers by the thousand. What is the secret of his remarkable rise? It is, answers the author, F. I. Anderson, immense personal force. "He is," says Mr. Anderson, "insistent, persistent, despotic. He will brook no opposition to his will, which is absolute law at Shiloh—which has been absolute law since the day, fifteen years ago, when he turned the first spadeful of sand on the hill-top. His whole life has been one of intense individualism. In his baseball days he was the absolute boss of the team; in his college days his companions had to stand with him or fall with him. When an idea obtained ascendancy in his mind, he worked it out to its conclusion as he saw the conclusion. He did not seek, nor did he accept, adv... Coupled with this intense egolism was the development of the belief that he, like Moses, Mohammed and Jean d'Arc, was divinely inspired and had direct communication from the Delty. The psychology of the contagion of faith that met him is not difficult of analysis. It is a state of mind common in country communities, similar, though more advanced, to the hysteria of a Georgia negro camp meeting. The Frenca describe it as 'Folle a Dleix', a kern for which, we have no equivalent.'

Flare of a Sailor's Trouser. Why the trousers of the sailor man flare so at the bottom is doubtless a problem that has puzzled many a student of the idiosyncrasies of dress, and it has generally been put down as the survival of a fashion too remote to unearth. It was all explained by a naval man, however, at a recent social session in a downtown cafe. He said it was simply to allow Jack to roll up his trousers to the knee when he sets about swabbing decks. "This is a daily duty on board ship," said the elucidator, and anyone who has tried to roll up an ordinary pair of trousers will understand what a convenience the kind worn by the sailor would be. The flaring leg is a real utility, and not a mere continuance of a useless fashion, as is shown by the fact that the trousers of officers do not have it."—Philadelphia Record.

"An emulsion broke out on my daughter's chest. I took her to a doctor, and her pronounced it to be a deform of a very bad form. He treated her pain, but the disease addressed to her back, and then the whole of her head was affected, and all her hair had to be cut off. The pain she suffered was excruciating, and with that and the heat and tingling her life was almost unbearable. Occasionally she was delirious and she did not have a proper hour's sleep for many nights. The second doctor we tried afforded her just as little relief as the first. Then I purchased Cuticula Soap, Ointment, and Pills, and before the Ointment was three-quarterly finished every trace of the disease was gone. It really seemed like magic. Mrs. T. W.

The heavy demand for silver in India, and in the Orlando generally, is having, with other influences, a marked effect on its price. There has been an advance in the price of silver of 20 cents in three years. This advance is expected to continue, and it will have a good effect on the trade in Eastern markets by increasing the purchasing power of the money now used in the Orient. In the first four months of the current year Great Britain exported to India $30,000,000 worth of silver. The use of silver in the art is rapidly increasing, it being estimated that fully 50,000,000 ounces are consumed in that way annually. The United States and Mexico combined yield more than 82 per cent. of the world's output, of silver.—Jewelers' Circular-Weekly. Unique British Lighthouse. The most extraordinary of all British lighthouses is to be found on Arnish Rock, Stornoway Bay, a rock which is separated from the island of Lewis by a channel over 5,000 feet wide. On this rock a conical beacon is erected, and on its summit a lantern is fixed, from which, night after night, shines a light visible by the fishermen far and wide. The way in which this lighthouse is illuminated is this. On the island of Lewis is a lighthouse, and from a window in the tower a stream of light is projected on to a mirror in the lantern on the summit of Arnish Rock.

Under her control are the five colonies of Palm Springs, Moringo, Mission Creek, Twenty-nine Palms and San Manuel, 300 in all, who live among the wild canons of the San Jacinto Mountains. Miss True came to town today to confer with the Federal authorities regarding the shooting by a special agent of one of her charges who was selling liquor on the reservation. She purchased an extra pair of handcuffs and a heavy revolver to take back with her, to be prepared for possible trouble. She declares her Indians are all good except when they get whiskey. She wants a bloodless administration, but is determined not to trust the enforcement of Uncle Sam's law among the Indians altogether to her police.

Money spent for "tonics" and "bracers" to relieve indigestion, while the poor old stomach is loaded with pastry and pork, is worse than losing a pocketbook containing the money. If the money only is lost it's bad enough, but with lost health from wrong eating, it is hard to make the money back. A Michigan young lady lost money on drugs but is thankful she found a way to get back her health by proper food. She writes: "I had been a victim of nervous dyspepsia for six years and spent three hundred dollars for treatment in the attempt to get well. None of it did me any good. "Finally I tried Grape-Nuts food, and the results were such that, if it cost a dollar a package, I would not be without it. My trouble had been caused by eating rich food such as pastry and pork. "The most wonderful thing that ever happened to me, I am sure, was the change in my condition after I began to eat Grape-Nuts. I began to improve at once and the first week gained four pounds. "I feel that I cannot express myself in terms that are worthy of the benefit Grape-Nuts has brought to me, and you are perfectly free to publish this letter if it will send some poor sufferer relief, such as has come to me."

Draughon, of Nashville, Tenn., who doubtless owns one of the best packs of fox hounds in this country, while talking with several fox hunter friends recently, told some practical jokes on himself. What makes the stories more interesting is that Professor Draughon is a man of considerable means, being president of thirty business colleges, the biggest chain of business colleges in the world. One of the stories related by Professor Draughon is as follows: "One-of my greatest pleasures—perhaps my greatest—is to take some of my friends in my automobile with the trailer attached—the former carrying five passengers, the latter carrying fifteen or twenty dogs—and go to the country for recreation. "Some time ago I had an engagement with a party of gentlemen—Captain T. M. Steger, his son Will, J. J. Anderson and Judge McMorrough—to go on a chase. They were very enthusiastic in the matter, expecting to emerge from the chase full-fledged, experienced hunters. Wishing to get as early a start as possible, and being naturally of a hospitable disposition, I invited them to dine with me. They declined my invitation, pleading impossibility to leave their business as one excuse, and a fear that I would not give them enough to eat as another; and as I would have to go through town to reach the hunting ground selected, they proposed to join me in town. I agreed to this, as also to the hour and meeting place they suggested. The place of meeting was on Broad street, near the depot, at 6 p. m. I rushed home, made the necessary preparation, and drove hurriedly back to town, stopping at the appointed place, but as I arrived a little before the time agreed upon, the colored boy who looks after my dogs asked, permission to 'bum around town' for awhile, which was granted. "About that time the traveler spied a brush lying in the car. Of course, the brush immediately got all his attention. 'You have a brush here; I see,' said he; 'and it is from a red fox, too.' 'Yes, I replied, 'we always carry one along for good luck.' 'I would certainly like to have that brush,' he said. I preserved a signified silence in response to his implied request for the brush; in fact, I was rather opposed to parting with it. He continued to admire it, however, saying: 'It is the most beautiful brush I ever saw, and there is nothing. I would like better or appreciate more than a brush from a Southern fox.' I could stand his importances no longer, so I said: 'Take the brush home with you. It is a fine one, but Professor Draughon has more at home.' His gratitude was overwhelming. 'With all my heart I thank you,' he said. 'I shall preserve this brush as long as I live.' Then, taking a quarter from his pocket, he handed it to me, with these words: 'Here my map, take this, and buy you some cigars to take with you to the chase.' It is needless to say that I was visibly touched with such liberality. He then took from his pocket a card, and, writing in the left hand corner, the name of the kennel club of which he was a member, he handed the card to me. 'Now, here is my name, with my address,' said he, 'and I want you to remember it. If you ever get oft of a job just write to me or to the club whose name is on the card. This is a recommendation from me, and will be accepted as such by any member of the club. My train is how about due to leave, and I must go. Good-bye.' He was gone before it could thank him, but on the chase that night, I smoked to his memory." ON. SIGNAL WATCH. It is eminent for a man-of-war to fire a, national salute; (twenty-one guns) whenever she enters a foreign port. The port acknowledges the sai- life, gun for gun. This time in enter- ing Yeddo Bay we were requested to waive the salute, probably because we come so often it is like one of the family coming home to dinner. The Emperor's birthday was so very similar to 365 other festivals annually celebrated in Tokyo that, it is not worth choreiling. I saw their royal highnesses, the Emperor and the Empress—but so have millions, of others, and the pageant impressed me less than a little affair of my own that subsequently occurred. I was on signal watch on the after bridge, an ordinance officer four feet away, stood looking shoreward through his binoculars as the admiral's barge rowed straight for the ship. At the proper moment he commanded: "Bugler, call the guard." Then all the red tape required to get an admiral aboard was unwound. This accomplished, Lifetehant Dorn came at me fairly foaming at the mouth, "What are you doing on that bridge?" he roared. "I am on signal watch, sir." "Then why did you not report the admiral's launch?" "Because you saw it, sir." "Because I saw it! What right have, you to say I saw it?" "I saw you looking at it through your glasses, sir." "You don't know that I was looking at the admiral's barge; you have no right even to think what I am looking at. 'Your duty was to have reported to me what you saw coming toward the ship. Falling 'to do, you shall answer on Saturday morning. I put you down for carelessness, disobedience, neglect of duty and insolence." I swallowed my heart and my rage, as I have done many a time and oft since I have worn this uniform; and, in fancy, saw myself go down into the brig for thirty days. The brig means handcuffs or ankle irons, a diet of two hardtasks and a tumbler of water three times a day, with full rations every fifth day. I have seen men come out of the brig looking like the end of a forty days' fast in a monastery. I have seen men in for three days wearing double irons. They looked like pirates. Their crime was smoking out of hours. Toreturn to my own case. On Friday night Leitenant Dorn sent for me and gave me a kindly talk, winding up with the promise that he would make a sailor out of me. I wes on the shore list for the next moraing, but for reasons of my own tarried on the ship. This same officer, noticing me, asked why I was there. I answered: "Broke, slr." He told me to go to his room and where to find $10, which I was to take, get, ashore as quickly as possible, and not to forget to return it on the next payday. — From "Three Years Behind the Guns," in St. Nicholas. CAUGHT IN PRAIRIE: BLIZZARD CAUGHT IN PRAIRIE BLIZZARD. "Last Sunday was the twentieth anniversary of the great blizzard of 1888 in Nebraska and Northwestern Iowa," said G. D. Riggs the other day. "I was living in O'Neill, Neb., at the time and had just left the office to go home to dinner when the blizzard struck. "I started to cross the street to a drug store, but when I reached the other side I found myself half way down the block from my destination. "The fine wind driven snow fakes filled the air so that I couldn't see my hand before me. I finally worked my way back to the drug store, where a number of other men had taken refuge from the storm. "School had just been dismissed for the noon recess, and we knew that nearly 300 children were out in the storm. Securing long ropes the crowd started out to rescue them. We found them huddled in doorways and by the sides of buildings. The children caught hold of the ropes and were led to shelter by their rescuers, whose sense of direction gradually returned to them. Every one of the 300 school children in the town was got home in safety. "But seven school teachers were frozen to death in the country during the bHzzard, and thousands of cattle died. The thermometer fell from about the freezing point at noon to twenty degrees below zero that night. It was the worst blizzard I ever saw, and I never want to experience another like it."—Des Molnes Register and Leader. STORY OF A KEY AND DISASTER You may be interested to hear of a thing which happened to me in Brittany last summer. I had to sign some railway transfers' before the nearest British Consul, who was at Brest. I locked up the papers' and Railway, stocks in a Breton cuppard in high as the ceiling and very solid. I kept the key in my pocket. When my cousin and I were ready to start I took out the key and it would not open its own cupboard. The servants came in turn and tried in vain—We had to miss our train to Quimper, which was our first stage to Brest. Now our village, blacksmith was very rough and ready, so this next morning I said I would try the key myself, once more, before he perhaps ruined my lock. The key fitted perfectly, and we went. But, imagine, we found at the station great blackboards posted up, telling of the awful wreck of the Brest train the day before, and it was the train in which we should have been but, for, the obstacle, of the key. We saw the carriages all fallen into the river, and the dead, and dying were in the hospital at Qulmper. We feel this, to be a preservation, wrought from the next world, that is so near. —Mrs. Hodgson Pratt, in Light. a mouse; Theyaly had been shopping and spent their last red, And nervous prostration had sent them to bed.

Occasionally one hears the "hand-mixed" paint of the painter slightly-spoken of as "unscientific" and "not thoroughly mixed." The facts are all on the side of the painter and his hand—prepared paint. It is the most "scientific" paint there is, because it is made on the spot to suit the particular purpose for which it is to be used. It is as scientific as a good doctor's prescription. If the painter did not mix it thus it would be as unscientific as a patent medicine. Moreover the paint which a good painter turns out is made of genuine white lead and pure linseed oil. It does not mix it himself he is not sure what is in it and consequently his client cannot be sure. As for not being thoroughly mixed by machinery, that is simply a misstatement. White-Lead as made by National Lead Company is thoroughly incorporated with 7 or 8 per cent of pure Linseed oil in the factory, making a paste. This paste need only be thinned with additional linseed oil to make it ready for the brush. The thorough Incorporation of pigment and oil has already been accomplished before the painter gets it. To know how to tell pure-white lead is a great advantage to both painter and house-owner. National Lead Company will send a tester free to anyone interested.

Y.—At Bethany Presbyterian Church the pastor, the Rev. L. O. Rotenbach, preached the third sermon in the series on "Miracles; the Wonders of Jesus and Their Lessons For To-day." His theme was, "Blind Eyes Opened." The texts were in Mark 7:23: "He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of town," and Matthew in 9:29 and 20:34: "According to your faith be it unto you; Jesus had compassion." Mr. Rotenbach said: The texts bring before us three scenes in the healing mercy of Jesus. The first is yonder where lies the city of Bethsaida, near the Sea of Galllee, close by the Jordan. Jesus is in that city; you can see Him together with His disciples. Now, notice that company of people yonder. See; they are leading a blind man. They bring him to Jesus and beseech Him to touch him. Here is faith on the part of that company and neutrality apparently on the part of the man. What he needs is faith. Jesus undertakes to arouse that. He takes the blind man by the hand, leads him out of the city, one side by themselves, the man and Jesus. Now, notice the process, for such it is. The Master moistens his eyes with spital, places His hands over them and asks: "Seest thou aught at all?" The man looks up. Here is faith's beginning: "Yes. yes, I see men, but I see them like unto trees walking." Again those hands are placed over his eyes, and now Jesus makes him look up also. He sees clearly! Here, now, is the second picture—two blind men of their own volition are following Jesus. Let us get the setting. The Master is teaching with Jahrus; a ruler, comes beseeching Him. "My daughter is dead; come, lay Thine hand upon her and she shall live." He goes to grant the request, when through the throng a woman makes her way, reaches out her hand timidly and touches the hem of His garment and is made well. At the end of Jahrus professional mourners have taken possession Jesus puts them out. "The child is dead but sleepeth." They laugh at Him. He goes in, takes her by the hand, and lo! she rises, and the fame of it went everywhere. That is the setting, and now as He departs from thence, these two blind men keep following Him. We can see them go. How pathetic the sight! We can hear them creeping out after Him. Listen, "Son of David have mercy, have mercy, have mercy." But He heeds them not. Now, at length they approach the house where He is to remain. He goes within. Crowd remains outside. But these two blind men, what will they now do? They are keeping right on eagerly through the crown. They are at the 'door now. What! they have gone into the house and right up to Jesus. He asks, as He looks upon their sightless eyes: "Belleye that you am able to do this?" Do they believe? Why, He has healed that woman in the way a little while before when she had but touched Him. He has raised from the dead the daughter of Jalrus by simply taking her by the hand, and they had kept following after Him all along the dusty road, though utterly ignored by crowd and by Him. Do they believe now when at last they stand by His side? "Yea, Lord," and as the answer bursts from their eager lips. He touches them, saying: "According to your faith be it unto you," and their eyes are opened. Faith is triumphant. Now, over there we have the third picture. Again we need the setting to bring out the force and the beauty of it. Jesus is going up to Jerusalem. It is the week before Passover—a week before the cross. As He goes He takes His disciples one side and says: "Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be betrayed; and they shall condemn Him to death and deliver Him to the Gentiles to be mocked, scourged and crucified, and the third day He shall rise again." Then comes to Him the mother of Zebedee's children. Her request is that her sons might sit one on the right, the other on the left of Jesus in His kingdom. The ten, you remember, are incensed, but Jesus calls them unto Him, saying: "Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles lord it over them, but it shall not be so among you. Whosoever will be great among you let him become your servant; even as the Son of Man came not to be served, to to serve and to give His life a ransom for many." After these two events Jesus, His disciples and a great multitude depart from Jericho. He is in the midst of one of those great pilgrim bands on their way to Passover feast. They have come from Gallilee, augmented in numbers as they have drawn nearer to the city of David. Their people believed on Him—as a prophet, and in a vague way as Messiah and the coming king, who even now, when they arrive at the city, may be crowned, as once before they sought the promised Him. On sweeps the procession—a crowd before Him, another Behind, Himself and disciples with others in the middle. He perchance engaged in teaching. Suddenly a sharp cry breaks in upon them. At the roadside ahead sits blind Bartimaeus and a companion begging. They hear the advance of the multitude. "What means this?" "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by." At once all he had felt, hoped and believed of Jesus burst in out one great cry: "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on us." The multitude, impatient at disturbance, rebukes them and bids them be still. No, no, louder yet rises their cry: "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on us." The multitude Jesus. He stops, commands that they be brought to Him, Bartimaeus leaps forward, throws aside his cloak, a lane opens through the crowd and now they are before Jesus. "What will ye that I shall do unto you?" "Lord that our eyes may be opened." See the wondering multitude, those eager blindnes and Jesus. Is it a wonder that He is moved with compassion? He touches their eyes. They receive sight immediately, follow Him, glorifying God, whilst the multitude sings praises unto God. These three scenes are given us not so much to please or interest us, as to touch our hearts and to instruct our faith. There is a manifest progress also. In the first the blind man is lead of others to Jesus. In the second they follow after Him of their own eager volition, and in the third Jesus has them brought to Him. In each is an advance of faith, and faith is the medium alone through which we may receive divine things. We have in the first scene the great truth of the gulding presence of Jesus. We recite "He took the blind by hand and led him." Tender and beautiful is this ministry. Jesus Himself leading the blind, Can you catch the significance? Can you see the leveling force of the Gospel? "All ye are brethren." Yes, and Jesus proves it by taking the hand of the blind. Can you also realize the positive directness of Christian service? "Bear ye one another's burdens," is the injunction, and we have Jesus taking the blind man and leading him. He for the time is eyes for him. Your Christianity is hating, my brother, if you have not in your life that first hand ministry, which feels the infirmities of another and touches him where his need is. There is here also the perfecting service of Jesus. His dealing with this man is a process. He leads him by the hand. He moistens his eyes. He places His hands over them, asks then "Seest aught?" "Yes, but faintly." Places hands over eyes again, their sight comes clearly. So He deals with you and me. Our first experience of Him *whist* joyous and hopeful, still is inadequate. But how patient and forbearing is He with our weakness and hesitancy. Renewed and closer contact of fellowship clears the spiritual vision. Let Him keep in touch with you, whilst you yield your will, life and love to Him. He will finally perfect your vision and you will see Jesus even as He sees you. In that second picture we have a startling manifestation of the all sufficient power of Jesus. His question is: "Believe ye that I am able to do this?" A great faith grasps this and holds it tenaciously. Those two blind men followed Him along that weary way. They kept on until they were to Him the house. Can you see them? Their eyes. How do they look into His eyes? Can you hear their answer: "Yea, Lord, yea, Lord, we believe that Thou art able." "According to your faith" is His answer and they see Him—Jesus. Do you desire the triumph of a great faith, a faith that sees Jesus? Then you, too, must believe that "He is able." You do believe it? Yes, to be sure you do—in a way. But do you believe it with all your soul by a faith that grips your life? Do you believe it with a faith that impels you, as it did those sightless ones along the roadway, weary roadway of your life, through the thronging crowds whose carelessness and indifference besets you on every hand, right on into the very presence of Jesus Himself? You have been trying to do things for yourself. Hadn't you better let Him do them, for He is able? Some things He alone can do for you, trust Him. Commit your way unto Him—for remember "According to your faith will it be done unto you." In this third "scene we have preeminently the compassionate personality of Jesus. We read: "Jesus had compassion." In fact all through this scene it is Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, and therefore faith, faith, faith. First, we have Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. Remember He is always passing by, in the great throngs to-day, as then. Do you feel your great need of Him? Cry out to Him. Bartimaeus did that and his companion. Are you being oppressed, hindered, discouraged by the very ones from whom you have reason to expect? Cry out yet much the more—those two by the wayside did that. They received sight and then followed after Jesus. Do that, just that, the way will open. Secondly, we read Jesus stood still. He always will, provided the right note is in your cry. Remember He was in the midst of a multitude going to Jerusalem — perhaps they will crown Him King. Yes, palm branches will they strew in His way and cry: "Hosanna in the highest, blessed is the King that cometh in the name of the Lord," and yet—He hears that cry. Remember He is on His way to Jerusalem to accomplish the decease. As that conference upon the body of Transfiguration revealed the weird shadow of the cross already is creeping over Him—and yet He hears that cry! What is in that cry? Need? Yes. Suffering? Yes. But He finds that everywhere. There is something more in it. "Jesus have mercy," is it? No. "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy." This one had faith in Jesus, not merely as a great rabbit, but he had faith in Him supremely as the promised deliverer of Israel, the Messiah. It meant Jesus—Thou Christ—have mercy. No wonder He heard and stopped and called them to Him. Thirdly, Jesus has compassion. He always has. Let there be the cry of conscious need, which, believes, implicitly in Him as; redeeming; Saviour—then always has He great compassion. It is always "the old, old story of Jesus and His love." My brother man let Him be such a Saviour to you as we have seen Him in these three pictures of tender ministry. Let Him lead you by the hand—a living presence. Let Him draw out your faith till you can say with joy: "He is able." Let Him hear your heart's cry of a great faith that wins His compassion. Think No Evil. Remember that charity thinketh no evil, much less repeats it. These are two good rules which ought to be written on every heart—never believe anything bad about anybody unless you positively know it is true; never tell even that unless you feel that it is absolutely necessary, and that God is listening while you tell it—Henry Van Dyke.

The courts of several States have dealt with an odd question, none of them agreeing upon a similar answer. When is it legally noon? Fire insurance policies expire at noon, and the word is admitted to mean exactly 12 o'clock, midday. But standard time has not been adopted in all communities. Many small towns cling to sun time, which may be from a few minutes to nearly an hour earlier than standard. In one State a fire occurred at two minutes past noon, sun time, and the insurance company held that the policy had expired before the fire. Sun time is used in that town, but the insured sued the company, holding that local customs did not rule the policy, and that he was entitled to his insurance. The State courts gustained him. In another State a similar contention was taken to the courts and just the opposite decision given. Several conflicting precedents have been established in State courts, and it is said the question can only be decided for good and all when a case has been carried into the United States courts and passed upon by the Supreme Court—New York Press.

ISTORY tells us that in the one place in all the world where noise and strife should be forever hushed, and only sounds of worship be heard, men met in bloody battle recently. Crucifixes and censors were the weapons. Franciscan and Armenian monks were the combatants, and the scene of the struggle was the tomb of Christ. For a time the battlefield of the crusades echoed again to the sound of clashing arms, the groans of the wounded, the cheers of the victors. But this was not a battle of believer against unbeliever, heathen versus Christian. The contestants were monks sworn to teach the doctrines of the Prince of Peace. This happened only a short time before the anniversary of the first Easter day, when the Saviour of the race rose from the dead. In the centuries that have elapsed the last resting place, of the founder of the faith has never known a cessation of strife. Those monks who battle to-day are only carrying on the strife that the crusaders, caused to rage around the holy edifice. The bone of contention is a desire to control the salted sepulchre. It was this ambition that brought the crusaders • swarming from all Europe, and now a form of the same desire has the monks of the Franciscan order and the Armenian branch forever at each other's throats. They quarrel over the right to sweep off the steps, and the Greeks, though they had little part in bringing the tomb of Christ under Christian control, have profited so skillfully by the quarrels of France with Turkey that they have ingratiated themselves with the pasha till he is regarded as their silent ally. In this last battle one sacristan had his skull smashed in with a ne heavy censor, and a number of combatants went to hospitals for treatment. So frequent have the quarrels been in the last decade that often Turkish soldiers have been forced to intervene. French, Greek and Italian consuls have at times been dragged into the controversies that resulted from these outbreaks. Apparently no permanent peace is ```markdown ``` HISTORY the one p world wi strife sh ever hus sounds heard, bloody battle recently. ever to come to the tomb of Him, who, as His cardinal doctrine, taught the law of peace. For the events that made the tomb of Christ a permanent battle ground, the devout Helena and the Emperor Constantine are indirectly responsible, though the motives that led them to Jerusalem were the holest. First Helena embraced Christianity, and then converted her son, the Emperor Constantine. Once in the faith he made it his resolve that Jerusalem, city of the holest deed in the world's history, should not be neglected. With reverent care, Constantine and Helena sought out all the spots that were identified with the Holy Passion, and erected on them TOWER AND FACADE OF THE CH TOWER AND FACADE OF THE CHURCH OF THE HOLY SEPULCHRE. churches and suitable memorials. Battles on the way and never Over the spot where the cross was discovered a chapel was erected, and the sacred wood itself was retained in Jerusalem by Helena and placed under the great basilica or church erected by Constantine over the place of Christ's burial. The erection of these buildings, particularly the church, made Jerusalem a place of pilgrimage, such as it has remained to this day. For 300 peaceful years the cross remained at the basilica, and nothing but the worshiping songs and prayers of the faithful resounded over the sacred stones. In 614 warfare and slaughter came upon the holy spot. Jerusalem was stormed by the Persian king, Chosroes II. The Christians made ```markdown ``` --- ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` CAVE IN WHICH CHRIST IS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN BORN— CHURCH OF THE NATIVITY. Their brayest defense at the door of the church, but were defeated, and the tomb of the Saviour was the prey of heathen. Fourteen years later the Emperor Heraclius regained possession of the tomb for the Christian faith. Only for nine years was peace to reign over the place of contention, the favorite battlefield for heathen and Christian, and in 627 the Caliph of Omar conquered it. Then came another 300 years of comparative silence. The tomb was under heathen domination, but at least no battles raged around it. From this period the sacred, buildings emerged to become the centre of Titanic upheavals that convulsed the entire world. These battles arrayed the West against the East, and caused the spilling of oceans of blood. They represent the longest continued and most costly conflicts in war's bloody pages—the crusades. In 1077 the tomb had passed under the domination of the Turks. The cruelties practiced by the heathens CAVE IN WHICH CHRIST IS BELIEVED CHURCH OF T on pilgrims who went to pay homage to the place of sepulchre, finally aroused Christian Europe to the wrong of letting the Turk maintain his sway: After Urban II became pope a mighty movement began to take form. Much of the agitation resulted from the fiery zeal of Peter the Hermit, who traversed Europe and produced the most extraordinary enthusiasm. As soon as the feelings of Europe had been sufficiently heated two councils were held; the result was the first crusade. Soon 6,000,000 soldiers were in motion toward Jerusalem, commanded by Godfrey de Bouillon, Duke of Lorraine, Hugh the Great, the Duke of Normandy, Count Robert of Flanders and Vohémond, under whom was Tanered. HURCH OF THE HOLY SEPULCHRE. Battles on the way and neverceasing ravages of disease reduced the ranks of the crusaders till only a fraction of the first force remaled. On the 28th of June, 1908, the Christians defeated an army of 200,000 Mohammedans and on July 15, 1909, the final battle fought in Jerusalem and raging all around the sacred tomb, saw the object of the crusade successful, and Christ's last resting place once more restored to Christian control. Not for long was it to remain thus. For fifty years the newly formed Christian government in charge of Godfrey de Boullon suffered under repeated attacks of Egypt and Syria, until finally it was forced to appeal for help to Europe, which resulted in the second crusade. --- AN EASTER LAY.

LIEVED TO HAVE BEEN BORN— THE NATIVITY. Victory after victory perched on the banner of the Saracens who, under the great Saladin, defeated the Christians in a battle of frightful carnage. On that day, the 5th of July, 1187, the cross was lost to the Christians, and though in subsequent struggles the tomb was retaken the cross has never been recovered. Frederick Barbarossa, Philip II of France and Richard the Lion Hearted of England headed another effort, but it failed. Later Emperor Henry IV made a fresh effort to take back the tomb, and it succeeded, but on his death in 1197 the Turks again came into control. Innocent III proclaimed the crusade that again brought strife to the sacred tomb. Fifty thousand children from France and Germany, fired with religious zeal, made an attempt in 1212, but all were lost by shipwreck or sold into slavery. Frederick II galned possession of Jerusalem in 1228, and through a truce kept it in peace for ten years. Several other attempts to hold the city were unsuccessful, and finally in 1291 the sultan took possession of Acre and the Christians were finally driven out of Syria. Even the end of the wars between the infidels and the Christians did not bring peace, for the Saracen control was disputed by other heathen nations. The Mamelukes took the city in 1382. The Turks recovered it in 1517 by the valor of Sultan Selim. The son of this leader, Soliman, built the wall that now surrounds the city. At last, being unable to occupy the home of the scenes of the Holy Passion, the Christian nations made an agreement with the sultan by which they ceded his right to control, but got in return permission to worship there and to have the sacred basilica in charge of Christian priests. But even this has not brought peace to the tomb, and Easter, 1908, still finds strife and hatred where only love and worship should be. Let me arise.

Twenty-second—Let every representative see to it that his lodge is in good standing in the Mascine Relief Association, and all the other departments." Send no money by other delegates if your lodge is not able to send a delegate; but send the money direct to the officers to whose department it belongs, or to the grand master not later than June 5th, at Atlanta, after that date to him at Americus, Ga., not later than June 9th. Twenty-third—All delegates must inquire at their respective starting-points from the ticket agents as to the kind of tickets to purchase, the fare, etc. We make this request because it will be April 20th, before we will have a hearing from the roads and cannot hold our call back longer. Worshipful Masters, Wardens and Brothers, will take due notice and govern themselves accordingly. H R. BUTLER, M. D. Most Worshipful Grand Master. SOL C. JOHNSON, Right Worshipful Grand Sec'ty. The first Lodge to forward its annual report and Grand Lodge fee is Greenville Beauty Lodge at Greenville Ga. This shows that the brethren of this Lodge are loyal and determined to be mindful of the edicts of the Grand Lodge. This is one of our young Lodges, but it has blazed the way for promptness for the older ones. The Grand Secretary is anxious for each Lodge in the Jurisdiction to report in full by May first in order that he may be enabled to submit a propristatistical report to the Grond Lodge. Each officer of the various Lodges are urged to assist in seeing that the report is rendered in time. Preston Lodge is sending out an appeal for a brother who had his home consumed by fire. If this appeal is approved by the Grand Master, it should be liberally responded to by the brethren. The Call as published above should be carefully read by each brother. By doing so they will be better able to note what is required of him. Tomorrow, Sunday, is the regular day set apart by the Grand Chapter, Order of Eastern Star, for the several subordinate Chapters to assemble and attend public services.

On this occasion the members of every Chapter in the State should assemble and give praises for the success of the past year and for future success.
