CONFESSED MANY MURDERS Orchard 'Was Witness Used in the Effort to Convict Members of Miners' Federation for Klurder. Boise, Idaho.—The state board of pardons commuted the sentence of Harry Orchard, who was under sentence to hang July 3 for the murder of former Governor Frank Steenunberg, to imprisonment for life. Orchard was arrested two days after the assassination of former Governor Steenunberg at Caldwell, Idaho, December 30, 1905, and a few weeks later, while confined in the Idaho penitentiary, confessed his guilt to James McPartlan, a well-known detective, at the same time asserting that he was employed to commit the crime by officers of the Western Federation of Miners As a result of his contession, Charles H. Moyer, president; William D. Haywood, secretary-treasurer; of the Western Federation of Miners, and Charles D. Pettibone were arrested in Denver and brought to Idaho to answer to the charge of murder. John Simpkins, another member of the federation, was also indicted and is still a fugitive, Haywood and Pettibone were acquitted after memorable trials in which Orchard told a story of wholesale assassination which shocked the world. Following the trial of Pettibone, the case against Moyer was dismissed, Orchard pleaded guilty to murder in the first degree. In pronouncing the sentence of death a week later, Judge Wood recommended that the board of pardons commute the sentence, saying he was firmly convinced that Orchard had told, the whole and exact truth at the trials of Haywood and Pettibone, and that he was therefore, for the service he had rendered the state, entitled to clemency. The pardon board, consisting of Governor Gooding, Secretary of State Lansdon and Attorney-General Guhen, in taking this action acted on the recommendation of Judge Wood, made at the time of sentencing Orchard. Orehard to the last was opposed to having the sentence interfered with. He said to the attorney that he hoped to save him from the gallows would, fall. USED AS WASH RAG. American Fought to Regain Flag and 'Was Pursued by Army. Washington, D. C.—The Americans in Panama have had cause for heated protests, recently, not on account of the Panama elections, but because of an 'incident which called in action a portion' of the Panama army. A foreign commercial house in Colon insulted the American flag, using it to wash the windows of the establishment. Wayne O_f Adams, of the canal zone, as the story goes, witnessed the desecration of the stars and stripes and engaged in a hard-fought battle for the possession of one of the flags which were being used to clean windows. He was pursued, according to reports, by a section of the army of Panama, consisting of two policemen and a member of the militia in full regalia. As a result of the disrespect shown the flag by the commercial house in question the canal zone from one end to the other is hung with boycott signs and the offenders have found less expensive wash rags. RECEIVER, FOR BAILROAD. Norfolk and Southern Railway Company Embrassed. Norfolk, Va.—On the petition of the Trust Company of America joined in by the railroad, the Norfolk and Southern Railway company was placed in the hands of receivers by order of Judge Edmund Waddell in the federal court.

Extensive improvements were also inaugurated. The Norfolk and Southern owns and operates 600 miles of trackage, with principal points at Beaufort, N. C., Edenton, N. C., Raleigh, N. C., and Norfolk, Va. They also own the electric line, double route of about twenty miles each from Norfolk to Cape Henry and Virginia Beach. TO MAKE GARDEN OF PANAMA. It is Hoped to Accomplish This By Convict Labor. Washington, D. C.-After a trial of eleven weeks the employment of convicts and local prisoners at highway building in the canal zone is said to have passed the experimental stage. Three distinct ends were in view in the program submitted by the special committee on the employment of prisoners which was approved last February. The first of these was the improvement of the prisoners' condition; second, the opening up to development of the fertile valleys of the canal zone, and third, reimbursing the government for the expense of maintaining its penal system. BURIAL OF EX-PRESIDENT Held at Princeton Home With Friends and Acquaintances. Princeton, N. J.-All that was mortal of Groyer Cleveland, former president of the United States, was buried in the Cleveland family plot in Old Princeton's cemetery Friday afternoon, just as the last rays of the sun fell across the grave. A distinguished party of statesmen as well as confreres of the former official stood by in silence and witnessed the last honors to the dead expresident. Then the cortege left the cemetery. Agreeable to the wishes of Mrs. Cleveland, the services both at the house and at the cemetery were of the simplest character. Although the funeral was of a strictly private nature, those in attendance numbered many distinguished citizens, including President Roosevelt, Governors Fort of New Jersey, Hughes of New York, Hoke Smith of Georgia, former members of President Cewlain's cabinet, officials of the Equitable Life Assurance society, members of the Princeton university faculty and friends and neighbors. Mr. Cleveland was buried with all the simplicity and privacy that he himself wished as a private citizen rather than as the former chief executive of the nation. The services began with an invocation by Rev. Sylvester W. Beach of the First Presbyterian church of Princeton, which was followed by Scriptural reading by Rev. Maitland V. Partlett of the West Farms Presbyterian church of New York, a former pastor of Mr. Cleveland, who read from the 14th chapter of the book of John, and also read a number of passages from the 4th and 22d chapters of the Thessalonians. Dr. Henry Van Dyke then said: "According to the request of one whose slightest wish at this moment we all respect, there will be no address or sermon, but there was a poem written more than a hundred years ago by William Wordsworth which is expressive of his character." He then read the poem, "Character of the Happy Warrior." This was followed by readings from the Presbyterian book of Common Worship, the services at the house house concluding with this prayer: The services were concluded at 5:30 and five minutes later the casket had been tenderly carried to the hearse and the procession started on its way to the cemetery. Along the streets from the house to cemetery, national guardsmen, mounted and on foot, policed the way. A GROWING INDUSTRY. Two Hundred Thousand Barrels of Oysters Planted. Jackson, Miss.—According to advises received from the gulf coast, the Mississippi oyster commission is making good headway with the work of planting reefs in the Mississippi sound. Over 200,000 barrels of shells will be planted during the summer months and, if former experience is repeated, these beds will be furnishing fair-sized oysters within the next three or four years. The former experiments have been remarkably successful, and the commission is getting the work of propagation in first-class shape. According to members of the commission, the reefs are now in better shape than for some time. Shells that were planted only three weeks ago are developing clusters, and the ratio of growth is much larger in the waters of the gulf than along the Atlantic coast. RABBI BITTEN BY DOG Doctors Say He Must Dis—Calmly Awaits the End. Cleveland, Ohio—Waiting calmly for the fate that his physicians say threatens him, Rabbi L. Friedman is at his home the victim of a rabid dog. If God desires to call me at this time I am ready to go," the rabbi said. "I don't feel any pain yet and I trust the treatment will be successful. But the doctor seems to be discouraged." Physicians refuse to make a forecast. Rabbi Friedman is sixty-four years old, and has retired as an active pastor. Several days ago he was attacked and bitten upon the left hand by a dog. NEWSY PARAGRAPHS. A movement has been started in Essex county, New Jersey, in which the late President Grover Cleveland was-born to raise a national monument to his memory. It is expected a committee to take the fund in New Jersey will be appointed. A tornado which swept over Clinton, Minn., killed seven people, and injured 25, some seriously. Twenty houses, a printing office and two churches were blown down. The Clyde Line steamship Chippewa, which struck a rock near Montauk, is hard aground and will probably prove a total loss. Thousands of watermelons have been thrown into the sea and hundreds of persons, many from the Connecticut shore, have visited the scene in power and small boats to gather the rich harvest. When ever a melon is washed ashore there is a wild scramble among the beach combers to reach it. The opportunity for such a feast of ripe melons is not often seen on the Long Island shore and the inhabitants are eager in grasping it. The Southern Steel company, which before it went into bankruptcy, employed 5,000 men, has been re-organized with a capital of $30,000,000 and operations will be resumed. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1908. HEARST LOSES CONTEST Mayor McClellan is Victorious in 1905 Campaign. BALLOT BOXES NOT STUFFED Hearst Was Unable to Prove His Charge to Satisfaction of Judge, Who Directed Verdict For McCllan. New York—Mayor George B. McCllan's title to the office of mayor of New York city was made clear by the decision of Justice Jambert in the supreme court when he ordered a jury to render a verdict that McCllan was duly elected mayor in 1905. W. R. Hearst has been contesting the mayor's right to the office practically ever since the election, and as a result of his charges of fraud in the original count of ballot the legislature passed a law enabling a recount. Attorney General W. S. Jackson then instituted quo warranto proceedings on behalf of the people, in which both Mr. Hearst and Mayor McCllan were named as defendants. The recount left Mayor McClellan with a plurality of 2,965, whereupon Clarence J. Shearn, representing Mr. Jackson, alleged that the ballot boxes had been stuffed and requested the court to throw the entire vote of 112 election districts in which he charged that the ballots found in the boxes exceeded the number of registered voters. This, however, was based on an incorrect list of voters, and, when the correct list was produced Tuesday, Mr. Shearn said that the registration was greater than the poll in every disputed district. Justice Lambert declined to throw out the contested districts, Mr. Shearn then charged that the inspectors had registered an excess number of names, but said he could not prove repeating. The justice then declared that the original count was quite as complete as the one made in court, and that the evidence showed no fraud as far as the election inspectors were concerned. He said that if legal voters could be disfranchised so readily as had been attempted in this case, this form of government would not endure long. If the jury were to return a verdict against Mayor McClellan, Justice Lambert said he would not allow it to stand, and he ordered a verdict in favor of the mayor, which was rendered. The jurors were allowed $510 each, having sat 51 days. Mayor McClellan spent over $40,000 to defend his title and says that he had no regrets as to the course he pursued, and that he feels that the controversy will discourage the bringing, of election contests of this sort in the future. He said that had he suspected that his election was the result of fraud, he would have acted differently. MEN RETURN TO WORK Coal Mines, Coke Ovens and Steel Mills Again Busy. Pittsburg, Pa.—There is happiness in Bayardstown for two of the three mills of the Schoenberger plant have resumed work after a shut-down of three months.

He says, however, it was a stray bullet and that-Americans who have not interfered with the affairs of the revolutionists, have not been bothered. "That is not a fake revolution," said Mr. Harrison, "it is a dead earnest affair. I am inclined to think that the soldiery of the president are ailing and abetting the revolutionists. I personally know that the president is greatly,worried. It is my opinion that the Mexican army is honeycombed with the revolutionists." Asked his opinion of the ability of President Díaz to cope with the situation, Mr. Harrison replied that he believed the president would manage the affair.

The previous question was called, and an aye and nay vote showed that the bill had been reconsidered by a vote of 19 to 15. As president of the senate, Mr. Flynt has yielded all of his committee appointments. Senator Hawes of Elbert succeeds Mr. Flynt as chairman of the Western and Atlantic committee. Senator Paul Akin succeeds Mr. Flynt as vice chairman of the committee on general judiciary. Mr. Akin has been appointed also to the committees on penitentiary, railroads and constitutional amendments. The senate unanimously voted to accept the invitation of the Western and Atlantic committee of the house to visit and inspect the state road's terminals in Chattanooga on Friday, July 3d. The senate, by a vote of 20 to 15, decided to adjourn until Monday. June 29. A motion by Mr. Telder of the Twenty-second district to consider the action of the senate in voting to go to Chattanooga July 3d, occupied the time of the senate the entire session. Senators Camp and Hayes spoke favoring reconsidering the acceptance 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.

The vote was 17 to 16 against taking the trip to Chattanooga. According to the senate rules, there can be but one reconsideration of a resolution. As this was a joint resolution, the house can not go to Chattanooga unless the senate concurs. The senate adjourned at 11 o'clock. June 30. Senator Williford of the Twenty-eighth gets the credit of the first general bill to be passed by the senate. His measure provides for uniformity of school terms.

ENTURY FOURTH BY ORA MAROLD THE TWENTIETH CENTURY FOURTH BY ORA ARNOLD HY NOT let this independence Day be one on which the hostess, too, declares her independence, on which she resolves to no broken line of rich red Japanese lanterns hung on red, white and blue ribbon, forming a pretty frieze and shedding light and air of gayety over the al fresco banquet. The ten guests comprising the house party will sit at a pretty round table, which is made by placing over PARADING ON A an ordinary kitchen pine table one of the round wooden tops every hostess provides in several different sizes for the dinner entertaining. The exquisite linen damask tablecloth will hide all suspicion of the table's plebeian origin, and the pretty board will gleam with silver and glass. One course will be served on blue Revolutionary china worth its weight in gold to a collector. The table decorations will be small silk flags, and broad tricolored ribbons will run out from the centre of the table and hang down to the floor. A large Liberty bell of red, white and blue flowers will be suspended over the table. A mound of geraniums shorn of their leaves makes the floral centrepiece. At each girl's place will be arranged dainty little rustic baskets filled with bluish purple sweet peas, and tiny Continental military hats made of dark blue crinkled paper ornamented with a gold cockade are designed for the men's dinner favors. The menus are to be imposing scrolls, with seals—small. Declarations of Independence tiled up with tri-colored ribbon. Instead of the names of vlands that appear on the usual menu, on this scroll menu there will appear a perplexing lot of questions written out by the clever hostess. When the guests are taking their seats, she will make the rather startling announcement "that whether you get people anything to eat or not will depend upon your own wits." You can well imagine the consternation of the company. And she will further explain that "if you give the right answers to the questions asked on the scroll by your plate the servants will help you; otherwise you go without. So be careful what you write." The first brain splitting puzzler is, "What will you be in if you answer wrong?" And if you're not pretty quick at this sort of nonsense you I am the American Eagle, and my wings flap together. Likewise, I roost high, And I eat, bannanas raw. Rome may sit on her Seven hills and howl, If the eagle can not Sit on Me! Will she please put that In her organ and grind it? I am mostly a bird of peace And I was born without teeth. BIRD I will I I I I That reach from the storm- Beaten coasts of the Atlantic To the golden silores of the Placid Pacific, And I use the Rocky Mountains As sthetones to sharpen them on, never cuddle fill I Lay an egg. And I point with prido To the eggs I’ve laid W HY NOT let this independence Day be one on which the hostess, too, declares her independence, on which she resolves to no longer be bound in servitude by the old forms of entertainment which have grown threadbare from use since the days of the Revolutionary War? Let her get up something original, whether she has to think it out herself or copy some clever idea. People are growing weary of the monotonous repetitions of July 4 entertainments and anything new, even though it may lack in merit, will meet with greater appreciation than compelling your guests to go through any one of the old performances that remind them of an annual duty they are forced to perform instead of an occasion of merriment and enjoyment. Don't let time novel sentiment enter into your program. If you have anything suggestive of patriotism avoid the commonplace hurrah that pleases the hool pololl. Your guests should not be treated as the rabble, and you should not resort to the politician's means of arousing interest by grandstand methods. Avoid the kind of amusement that appeals to the gallery. The shooting off of firecrackers, protec- tive displays in the evening and the singing of national airs now please only the juvenile American— juvenile in years or mentality. The twentieth century hostess must provide something for the amusement of her guests out of the beaten track—the more outre, bizarre and unusual the more desirable. A scheme which smacks of originality has been thought out by a clever Boston girl, who will entertain at her country home a house party over Independence Day. Golf, motoring, tennis and the old, old game of hearts, with Cupid as score keeper, will be played throughout the day, but on the evening of the glorious Fourth will come the crowning fun of the occasion—a most original and amusing dinner. For this function the young hostess will transform her living room porch into a 'dining room. Patriotic and artistic effects will be achieved' by draping American and French flags around the sides of the enclosure, with tall palms in attractive groups to lead a touch of cooling green to the mise on scene. At the top of the plaza will run a P will not write on the card, "The soup." The next question is, "Where did you go at the St. Louis Exposition to have some fun?" "Pike."10 This rare and delicious fish having been successfully captured and enjoyed, the attention is drawn to the third proposition. "What is the only country Russia has ever whipped?" If history is your favorite diversion you will know that it is Turkey, and the butler will have the pleasure of presenting a piece of that delicious fowl. "What famous singer spent most of the winter in America after an absence of some years?" Pattl. Further along the list comes the bunker, "If your opponent on the golf links did you one more hole what would you consider yourself?" Possibly, if the victory is not too recent, you might own to be "beat." After the vegetable has been missticated the thrilling question to be answered is, "What would you do if a pistol were pointed at your head?" Quall, no doubt, if you happen to be of the fair sex. "What would bread be with——?" Butter. "What, was the name of Noah's second son?" Ham. "If you girls wanted to go to Japan what would you say to your father?" Lettuce. The next apropos query would be for most persons rather an easy one. "With what do the children celebrate the Fourth of July?" Crackers. When the sweet course appears these two questions will have to be answered before one is served: "If a woman, what do you do when you see a mouse?" Ice cream. "Where does a man put an engagement ring?" Lady finger. "Where do you go after the play for supper?" Cafe. These are merely a few questions given by way of suggestion, but, of course, each hostess must be guided in her selection by the menu. The mistakes in answering the questions will be delightfully funny, and fancy the sport to be had in jollying the guests who get the most impossible mixtures and the poor unfortunates IN THE FOURTH. who are ravenous with nothing more substantial than a pickle and a cracker to satisfy their appetites. Three minutes is the time allowed for answering each question. The hostess will keep score and at the end of the feast will present to the girl who has dined both wisely and well a dainty muslin sunbonnet "to keep her head always cool," and successful guesser of the masculine success with an "umbrella to ward off brain storms." Quite a novel function not as elaborate as a dinner is a Fourth of July tea. The picturesque feature of this affair is to have the girls pour tea and serve lemonade dressed in colonial frocks, qualit bonnets, mitts and sandals. This tea will be held on the lawn, and over the tea and lemonade tables will be large Japanese umbrellas, which are more attractive than hot and uncomfortable tents. The ice, sandwiches and bouillon are served from the house and passed by the servants. — From What-To-Eat, the Pure Food Magazine. IN Readiness For the Day. L. Cracker—"I.

I told you a little while ago how the old cat saved her kittens from drowning; but that was not the only time. It was perhaps a year later when she hit upon the brilliant plan of putting her new family under the billard room platform. This was like a square veranda without any roof, in the southwest angle between the dining room and the billard room, both of which opened on it. Three steps ran all along its sides, and there were ventilators of openwork iron between the steps through which you could look into the hollow space under the platform. But no human being could crawl in, though there was just room for a cat to do so, and not quite enough for a dog, who could only whine and bark and make a great fuss when a cat ran in there; but pussy was quite safe, and well she knew it. So you see the old cat did a fine thing when she put her family there. The children found it out because she used to run in and out there so many times a day, and pretty soon they could hear faint miasos from the baby kittens. How exciting it was. The children would lie flat on the ground and peep into the great dark places or peer through the iron work of the ventilators, but though they sometimes saw little round balls of fur moving a little, they could not tell how many or what color the kittens were. As the little ones grow bigger they would creep out toward the sunshine, but the old mother puss was very watchful, and more than once when a hand was reaching in to try to catch an unwary baby kitten she would growl and give a smart blow with her paw to the intruder; and sometimes let her feel the claws. But one bright morning the birds were slinging like mad, and the garden was aflame with blossoms, and the sun was shining hard on the stone sidewalk and warming it through, the kittens could no longer be restrained, and one by one they crept out into the warmth and light. Oh, how pretty they were, and how proud their mother was as she stuck her tail straight up in the air like a flagpole and rubbed herself against the children's legs, purring as loud as the kitchen clock ticked, and almost saying in so many words: "Did you ever in your life see such a fine family, and am I not a clever mother to have kept my treasures safe so long?" The three who were the largest and handsomest were named after the three Moorish princesses in Washington Irving's delightful story in "The Alambra," which the children never tired of reading. They are funny, long names, and I wonder whether you can pronounce them. Zayda, Zorayda and Zorahnyda. Zayda was a beauty, the prettiest of all, for she was what is called a tortoise-shell cat, white, with stripes of black and yellow. She lived in the family to a good old age, lots of kittens and a very bad temper, but, like many handsome people, her beauty made people overdid her badness. Zorayda was a soft gray all over, more of a Maltese cat, and Zorahayda was a dark beauty, more like a Moorish damsel than the rest. Zorayda ran away and was never heard of, and poor Zorahayda was given to the children of the rector of the town. They were fond of her and tried to keep, her safe in the old rectory among the trees and quiet, while her one day, she ran down to the street to see what was going on there, and a wicked dog came along and seized the poor little country cat, and that was the end of the pretty Moorish princess. The other two wend merely order nary gray and white pussies, and they were called, respectively, Miss Muffet and Baby Bunting. This last, was the youngest and littlest, and had the funniest little call you ever saw. It was short and very jovial, and used to stand up stiffly, turning a lit- tle way backward as she ran around after her older sisters. Oh! the good times, the kittens and the children had together, through those long sunny summer days. It is so much nicer to have five kittens than only one to play with. Don't you think so? The children have all grown old, now, and they don't live in the old house any more, but if wonder whether, if they went out there some bright moonlight night, in June they would not see the ghosts of the little princess and Miss, Muffet and Baby, buiting playing about, under the great trees and in the old garden paths—Washington Star. THE LEGEND OF THE COWSLIP. There, was a time, long ago, when the cowslip had no golden blossoms. To be sure, she wished to have them, but as she did not know how to bloom, she contented herself for one summer, with her rich dark leaves, and in autumn fell asleep with her feet curled close and warm underground and her head tucked beneath the cover which her mother had provided. But one night she woke, with a little shiver and said, "Mother, I'm cold;" and her mother hastened to cover her with a gaily colored blanket of leaves, after which she slept many days and nights, until a frosty, starry hour, when she stirred a little and whispered, "Mother, I'm cold." Then her mother covered her with a white blanket, soft as down upon the mother bird's breast, and our cowslip slept softly, but soundly, many weeks. One May morning she heard a lightful, rustling all around her, whereupon she nestled in her bed, not knowing that the rustle was caused by the whispering of her companions underground, who, like her, were just awakening from their happy dreams, pushing out their white feet, and stretching, up their tiny hands, as you have seen waking babies. Then she heard a robin sing, but as the earth still covered, her the song was but half understood, and to hear better, she lifted her head high enough for a yellow sunbeam, who had been looking everywhere for her, to see her. She remembered both the sunbeam and the robin, and so glad, was she to see them both, that she laughed a low, sweet, "Ha, ha, ha, ha," and there she stood in full bloom, every ha-ha having become a smiling sunny-hearted blossom. Of course, she was amazed, and hung her head in a sweetly modest fashion, as do cowsling to this day, for since that happy springtime, not one of the family has forgotten to laugh itself into golden bloom, when it hears the robin and sees the yellow sunbeam of merry May.—From the Bee Hive. A LAZY BOY'S INVENTION The long handled shovel has made over $200,000 for its inventor, and the inventor was a lazy, stiffless boy of seventeen, named Reuben Davis whose father lived in Vermont at the time. He set Reuben to digging, dirt and loading it on a wagon, and the short handled shovel made the boy back ache. One afternoon when his father was away, he took out the short handle and substituted it long one; and found the work much easier. When the father reached home Reuben got a licking, but after that old man had used the shovel himself he saw that it was a good thing and got it patented. They are now manufactured almost by the billion American Boy.

FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: JAMES S. SHERMAN, OF NEW YORK. A NUMBER of citizens met on the 28th for the purpose of conferring about registering voters for the fall election against the disfranchisement act. It was one of the most representative gathering ever held. All present entered into the meeting with great zeal and no doubt the results will prove beneficial. If each registered voter would be responsible for at least two registered voters we will be able to present a list of three thousand voters in October. It can be done. We are only sleeping, let us awake ourselves and act like men with a plenty of race pride. A Timely Organization Formed. Last Sunday at Odd Fellows Hall, Harris Street, a representative body of men met per call issued by Col. Deveaux, Capt. Simmons and THE TRIRUNE man for the purpose of considering the October election when the disfranchisement bill shall be voted on by the citizens of Georgia. The purpose of the meeting was stated and several tookpart in the general discussion. It was finally decided to form an organization to be known as the Chatham County Suffrage League, the purpose of which shall be to register the Negroes of Chatham County and vote against the proposed disfranchisement bill. It would be a difficult task to select a more representative body of men than those who met last Sunday. Every station of life was represented as well as every secret organization and many societies and clubs. A committee appointed to select a committee whose duty it shall be to plan the work of the organization. The committee will report at the next meeting of the Suffrage League at Harris street hall, July 12th, at 3:30 unless otherwise ordered. There was nothing but perfect harmony throughout the meeting. Every sentiment was in keeping with the purpose of the meeting. Mr J. C. Simmons was elected chairman. What is more important, the man who is at the head of the movement or the accomplishment of the purpose? There was a time when all efforts of Savannah Negroes en masse failed, but we now have one victory to which we can point for strength, namely: the boycott of the street cars. The principle in the street car matter is the same now as it was when we held meetings, gave our promise to each other and to the race that having been humiliated we would not ride. What could give more gratification to one who has denied himself of the use of the cars, than to know, his remaining off the cars has decreased the receipts, and as result the car company is unable to furnish new equipment, keep up the present rolling stock or service in general. After we have remained off the cars for another year instead of having a car every 10 minutes, they will run every 20 minutes. We shall hold firm to the principle: This is only an incentive to those who look disparagingly upon the present undertaking. R.M.U.E Conference Editor Sunny Tauro Editor SAVANNAL ARIBUE: *Please allow me space in your columns to say a few words of the District Conference of the Second Dylion of the Charac- ter, M. U. M. church. We met on Thursday, the 18th M. Olive R. M. U. E. church. This being a new edifice, lately erected by the Rev. J. S. Jenkins and his flock, was quite a surprise to the brethren of the conference. Rev. E. R. Middleton, being present as a visitor was invited to the chair, of which he accepted and presided very creditable. The Rev. C. D. Johnson was elected Recording Secretary, Rev. J. S. Jenkins financial secretary, Reys. Josie Frazer and J. W. Alaston, marshals of the conference. Amid showers of rain a goodly number of the members were seen to fill their place in the conference and act accordingly, when reflected great credit to the members of the second district conference was full of good spirit inspired by the good and grand Bishops, who gave good advice from start to finish and added a spiritual enthusiasm to the session. Three Devotional services each day and many souls came forward and joined the church of God. Amid the hard times and financial embarrassment we have raised $25,000 during the session. Sunday was the crowning day. In the morning the good Bishop took part in the Sunday school. He taught many good and useful things to the school. After a warm and inspiring teaching the venerable bishop ascended the pulpit in the spirit and choose as a text1 Cor. 4-20 verses. He entered as in his usual way, and fired from his gos pelt cannon balls full of fire and the holy ghost, while penicostal showers were felt in the building; after which the dope of the church was open, ten came forward and joined the church. At the night services the Bishop appointed the Rev. C. D. Johnson to preach. This divine ascended the pulpit in the spirit of God. He chose his text from 1937th Psalm 949 verse. He preached a most eloquent sermon, which ended with many souls to Christ. A collection was raised. The Bishop then made a few remarks and close! F. A. B. Church. Rev. P. James Bryant, D. D. of Atlanta, preached at both services on last Sunday at the F. A. B. Church Franklin Square. Both sermons were forceful, of a rich production and delivered with much eloquence. The many visitors and members who came out especially to hear Rev. B. B. that, expressed themselves as having enjoyed two sermons of much benefit. The deacons of the church who have been conducting' the affairs for the past ten months without a pastor is still juvenile over the deal of encouragement derived from his sermons, and have taken on fresh courage to shoulder the responsibility devolved on them until He who deprived them of a leader will send either. The entire services during the week, especially the covenant meeting Thursday evening have marked an outlook for a morious day tomorrow, our communion day. Rev. Wm. McKinney added much to the services during the week, together with several other ministerial brethren who dropped in to see us. Rev. B. B. Borders, D. D. of Macon, Ga. will preach for us tomorrow, also administer communion assisted by Rev J. H. May, D. D. pastor Second Baptist Church, et. al. We extend you a cordial invitation to enquire. Bro. Borders is one of Georgia foremost preachers and can impress you greatly. Heart film.

Morning sub ject "Walking With God" Evening, subject "The Jacksonville Baptist Congress" Everybody cordially invited to both services- Installation Service. Daufuskie, S. C., June 17, 1905. The day opened bright, fair and beautiful. At 10 a. m., the Sunday school, which is in a very prosperous condition, both as to members and finances, assembled and after an informal review of the tquarter's work, as well as including various test questions as to their general knowledge of the bible, in all of which they made an exceedingly equitable showing. Rev. R. H. Thomas who had charge of the meeting, made a very timely and instructive talk; giving them much wholesome and practical advice as to Sunday school work in its various aspects based upon observations noted during his many years of active experience as president of the Sunday School Convention. The installation sermon by Rev. N. H. Whitmire, subject, "The duty of a God called shepherd and his reward." The effort was worthy of the day and occasion, and characteristic of the man and was readily classed as one of his best by all who heard him. It was received with much interest and seemed to have struck a responsive gird in those who had become lukewarm, doubling and weak, giving them fresh courage and new hope; and increased the strength of those who were yet strong. While its delivery was not grandiloquent, it was telling and earnest, and will doubtless be provocation of much good. The effort placed one more star in his crown of success. After the sermon, the congregation was impressed with a touching and well rendered, duet by Mrs. Hebecca Smith and Miss Iona Coston, the agreeable and pleasant neices of Rev. R. H. Thomas. Rev. J. M. Simms, then charged the church in a very solemn and impressive manner, and telling them as he has so often and for so long told of his people, both in and out of the church, of their duty to the pastor and to each other, not only as christians but as men and women. Stressing upon them to remember that the need and hope of the church as well as the race are men, and women with christianized mentalities, whose chief aim is self-abnegation, self-sacrificed, which means the advancement of humanity in general, and the consequent uplifting of the race and the winning of the world for Christ Jesus and the glorification of the Father Rev Simms remarks were augmented by a well wounded and acceptably read paper, "Relation between church and pastor," by Mrs. M. J. Holmes, of Mt. Tabor Depot Church, Following within that moral poetic conception, the Holy City was conceived sung by Mrs. J. Holmes, by causing the singing to be coerced to reflect and at least for a time, impelling them to think of Him in whose honor it was composed and the incidents leading up to the time when He entered the Holy City amid the saving of palms and the first singing of the great, glad, joyful 'Hosanna in the Highest.' Pastor Thomas was then conducted to the pulpit by Revse Simms and Bryant, making a few remarks relative to the instructions which had been given him and his acceptance of the responsibility, pledging himself to rule and govern as God has given him knowledge to understand the right. The Lord's supper was celebrated at 3 p.m., conducted by Rev. N. H. Whitmore, assisted by Rev. Bryant. A few special words by Rev. J. M. Simms suited to the occasion. At 3 p.m., thirty minutes of praise service and informal expressions of christian experiences, including thanks for God's many providences and graces. Sermon by Rev. N. H. Whitmore subject, "How to seek the Lord and how to find Him." The effort of the evening was in Keeping with that of the mofhing both as to impression made interest in the success of delivery and general effectiveness in offering effective having bowed for prayers. Collections throughout the d6y were liberal realizing our most ardent expectations. The touching and soulful rendition of the selections of music, being perfect, as executed by Miss Izona Coston deserves special mention. The thanks and praise of all are hers. REPORTEh.

Come and hear our preacher and come all get right with God Tabar Celebration. Labor Celebration. Whatever of doubt may have ingreed in the minds of the people with reference to the International Order of Twelye, Knights and Daughters of Tabor, was dispelled on last Sunday night, June 29, upon the occasion of the celebration on the occasion. The occasion fully celebrated the date on the date the sermon being preached by Rev D D Mills, of Bryan Baptist Church. The occasion was a gala day for the great order in these parts and each of the numerous participants acquitted themselves with credit and with honor to the great fraternity of which we are proud to be members. Rev Mills sermon was a gem, eyecining a perfect knowledge of the history of the order and of the beneficent results which accrue to those who are members thereof. The program was an elaborate one and demonstrated to the vast audience that not only is it a fact that the beauty and chivalry of this locality compose the order but that there is much of the brain, manhood and womanhood of the people in it also. RN Rutledge, D G M made the introductory remarks and it is needless to say that he acquitted himself well. We all know Mr. Rutledge to be a profound logician, a fluent and eloquent speaker, and a forceful rhetorician. Hence whenever it is his appear in public, it expects a rare treat and seldom if ever is deceived "Tabor Praise," sung by the entire order and led by Sir J. B. Mountine, was well received by the great throng and elicited much favorable comment. The paper by Mrs. F D Armstrong, 'D G P., upon the history of the tabernacles of the order, was highly dissipative of what the order was, is and hopes to be. She paid a beautiful tribute to the head of the order, showing promptness with the office, showing claims, and his untiring energy, for the good of the order. Too much praise cannot be given to the worthy woman for the deep and abiding interest she manifests towards the growth and perpetuity of the order. The paper upon the history of the order by Sir W K Callen, was timely and called for its deserving G Grant, Sir Callen the permanent member and officer of Mr. T Temple and is actively engaged in the work of upholding the order in this community. Sir F M Cohen was present at the meeting with the cash to cover the checks. Coin and Cohen seem to be synonymous in fraternal societies and he is generally there with the goods. The payment of the endowment of Sir Cyrus Allen and Sir U. S. Grant, both deceased, were handed over to their beneficiaries upon the occasion by Sir Rutledge, D G M, representing the Grand Lodge. The same was presented by the Presiding Prince W D Armstrong. All of the parts were well performed and those who do not receive special mention from the point of performance deserves it, for all of them performed well their parts. Long will the memory of this occasion linger with those who were fortunate enough to hear it, and great was the benefit that came to the order as the result of this convocation at which the expression of the people was heard and the verdied rendered upon the real good this great order is doing throughout this state and throughout this great union of states.

FOR THE FARMER AND STOCKMAN The experimental plot in field or garden may not be directly remunerative in a financial way, but its value cannot be measured when we count the pleasure it gives and the interest it awakens. These items that make the differences between the farmers who find pleasure in their work and those who consider farming a drudgery.- Epitomist. Preserved Eggs Tested. The Agricultural Department of Washington recently tested eggs which had been preserved four weeks in water glass (sodium silicate). They were found to have an unpleasant taste, and the white coagulated in cooking. There was a slight taste of soda and the white had become plink in color and very liquid. Eggs kept in water glass for six months tasted and smelled like well kept eggs a few days old. Clover is mostly for Steers. In very carefully and sensibly conducted experiments with yearling cattle at the Missouri station it was found that by substituting clover for timothy the efficiency of the cotton was practically doubled. That is a bushel of corn when fed in combination with clover hay produced essentially double the number of pounds of gain that were produced in similar steers with the same amount of corn and good timothy hay. What was found to be true of clover apples almost identically to cowpea hay.—Weekly Witness. Work of Large and Small Cows. Small cows consume relatively more feed and produce more dairy products than large ones. The jerseys, per one thousand pounds live weight, consumed daily during the St. Louis dairy demonstration on an average seventeen per cent. more nutriment than the Holsteins, twenty per cent. more than the Swiss and over fifty per cent. more than the Shorthorns; but they returned forty-three per cent. more butter fat than the Holsteins, seventy per cent. more than the Swiss and 100 per cent. more than the Shorthorns. American Cultivator. The Spreader. Corn ground is one of the best places for the manure. A top dressing of only one or two tufts to the acre will show good results. A thin coat over a large hench will bring greater rejuvenation, heavier coat over a small area. The fact that the spreader can spread a load over a much larger space and much more evenly than it could by hand is a strong argument for its use. No other tool on the farm gives us more satisfaction. We intend to give thin places in the meadow a light coat of manure if it is bridging. We keep all the manure on the farm under cover if it is not used and this spring will be used this fall to top dress the meadows, where ground. — Epitomist Getting Alfalfa Started. 'An Illinois farmer will tell,' it have not been very successful in getting a stand of alfalfa. I am fortunate to get a small field planted and would like to have some, suggestions how to go at it. If a stand of alfalfa is the thing you are after, and do not take much for a grain crop from the dhini this year, you should give this land a thin dressing of barnyard manure, then plow it under, and harrow it frequently, to make the middle of May. Then roll and harrow it. Then sow twenty pounds of first alfalfa seed with two or three becks of barley per acre. If you are near a field where alfalfa is growing, starter a few loads of this soil over your own field. Then cut out your barley for hay and remote it from the field as soon as possible. Don't give it up. —L. C. B., in the Indiana Farmer. Work the Ground: There is economy in putting in all the work possible on the ground before planting the seed. Well-plowed, well-hardened and palverized field is exactly the right condition to start planting. Good seed is hard to kill, but the more congenial germinating condition it the quicker will it start. A successful corn-grower says, "I would rather have one good day's work put upon a corn-field before the seed is planted than ten days after the seed starts growth." Clearly, the ground of all trash and stalks possibly follows the plow with the harrow and keep the seed-bed mollown. Ground-branded in this warmer than quicker than poorly tilled land, and consequently, the seed so and so rot in the ground Indiana Farmer. SQUARE 169 Don't let the truth keep you from your observation, that your sensibility is before production. Therefore, guard jealously the implements secure the harrowing. The mind is inking in Indiana, "by your own market," infinitely seeking to the 10. stock and drive the stock to market. There is no better way to maintain soil fertility, for it secures the envied gain while accomplishing the desired result. Crop rotation if practiced, systematically and inflectly gently, guarantee the same result, but it is not believed to be as productive. There are farmers whose land is not adapted for stock raising; these will not be necessary to follow other means to maintain the fertility of their soil, than by feeding all farm producers to stock in whatever way they can be most economically incomprehised is the best way for the individual farmer, but the necessity of obtaining it in some way is daily becoming more evident.—Epitomist. Sore Neck and Shoulders. In a little care right now in properly handling the horses when they are soft will save a whole lot of trouble after awhile, and it will save the poor beasts a great deal of needless suffering. The spring seeding season is the hardest time on the horses' shoulders and neck, because the flesh is soft and easily bruised, and the dust seems to irritate now more than any other time during the year. But carefully hardening the team to their work, their shoulders will soon become firm, and pads will not be necessary. In fact, collar pads are a nuisance. They are hot and soon become gummed up with dirt and sweat, and will cause irritation easily. Use a close-fitting, well-made leather collar, one that fits the horse's shoulder. Break in a new collar on a horse as you would break in a new pair of shoes, and then after that particular collar has become set to the animal's shoulder, never use it on any other horse. The changing about of collars and harness is not a good thing. Fit bridle, collar and tugs to suit each horse, and you will find that the team will work much more willingly, and without any worry. Even the best fitting collars need daily attention. Keep the collar clean. Scraping the collar with a penknife is not a good thing, because it destroys the smooth surface and is apt to leave ridges. One other thing. We use riding cultivators and other machines or implements with tongues. These are all hard on the neck of the team, unless the collar fits so snug that it cannot slip up and down with every movement of the tongue. Then be sure to set the harness so that the draft comes direct against the shoulder, and not too low or too high.—Epitomist. Good Cow Ration. 13 A correspondent of the Jersey Bulletin gives the following as the ration he is feeding his tows, with excellent results he says: We are milking twenty-five Jereeys and weighing the milk of each cow and testing for fat every month. They are doing finely this winter; in fact, never did better—are giving an average test of better than 5.7 per cent. fat. We have been feeding a grain ration composed of the following: 1200 pounds dried distillers' grains, 250 pounds corn meal. LIMX, and feed a 900-pound cow, giving from eighteen to twenty pounds of milk per day, about six pounds of the mixture, together with twenty pounds of roughage, composed of mixed hay, oat hay and clover clover. We increase or diminish the grain ration according to the amount of milk the cow is giving and her individual requirements. By taking advantage of the market in the fall, we were able to put this grain ration together for about $1.49 per hundredweight, which is very low for a ration containing over twenty-saven per cent digestible protein, together with the standard requirements of carbohydrates and fat. I have been feeding this ration for nearly a year, and a half and I have never fed anything that seemed to give better results, both the nail-and in the general health and condition of the animals. Cottonseed meal, is a valuable feed for milk and butter production. At the South Carolina station, it was found that cottonseed meal when fed in conjunction with good corn silage may be fed to the extent of from five to six pounds per cow daily without affecting the health of the animals — in fact, keeping them in an unusually good state of health. Cows fed exclusively on this diet for a period of five months exhibited no craving for dry roughage, but always preferred silage for good dairy. More milk and butter fat were produced during that period, during any corresponding period. If the conclusion of the station that cottonseed meal and corn silage form its finest dairy feeds available for the dairy men of South Carolina. The Virginia station concludes that as cottonseed meal when pure contains silidurger percentage of digestible protein than gluten meal, and is much richer in fertilizing constituents and can be fed with equal satisfaction for the introduction of butter and milk it should be utilized in the place of the latterage. By JOHN S. LOPEZ. "Most performers," said the Pink Lemonade Man, "soak away their spare change in sparklers and so can have something to do if they go broke. I flash mine mostly for business reasons, though I ain't denying I've converted it at times. Diamonds add dignity, specially in small towns when they can only recognize a gentleman because he wears a high hat patent-leather shoes, and swell clothes. Besides, it makes 'em feel easier to let 'em see you trusting a fine sparkler like that in the liquids you're selling-"em." Here is a shower of sawdust fell about two. Two people were fighting in front of the staircase, roiling on the ground and petting each other with sawdust. "Well, I'll be—" began the Pink Lemonade Man, as a quantity of it landed in one of the tubs. Then he smiled philosophically. "I'll draw him dead, and maybe I'll land some blimps here. Here, Jimmy," he called loudly to his assistant, "take this tub over to the dressing tent and empty it." He turned to us. "What he'll do," he conded, "is strain his throat of cheesecloth we keep on purpose. He'll bring it back in a minute, that is, unless Madé-moiselle Fleurette is hanging round." The Serious Student beamed. "Are there many little romances around the circus she asked, eagerly." "I presume she is his sweetheart?" The Pink Lemonade Man threw back his head and gave up to such explosive and sprinkling mirth that I shuddered for the lemonade. "If Jimmy heard you," he finally managed to splutter, "he'd probably try to beat your face in. Mademoiselle Fleugette in a young man. Him an' Jimmy luster belpais, but now most every time they meet there's a scrap. Fleugette's got a swelled head an' puts on airs. Jimmy gets back at him by insinuations concerning him passin' for a perfect lady."—Harper's Weekly. "What's Mine is Thine." The simple statement of a Newfoundland report that the St. Pierre fishing fleet lost 123 men during the season recently closed makes little impression on the casual reader. Behind the words however is deep tragedy. There is much pathos in the lives of those northern fishermen as well as in their deaths. They are a hard working class, used to all sorts of dangers, and experiencing little of the common comforts of existence. Mr. Willson in "The Tenth Island" gives an instance of generosity which might, well shame the boasted hospitality of wealthy civilization. The Newfoundland fisherman is the personification of hospitality. He is a great, warm hearted fellow, whose bed and board and good offices are at your disposal. In hut, cabin or cottage everything you see belongs to you for the time being, but be careful not to express a wish for it. A. Yankee comedian once came to Newfoundland during the shooting season. He was much struck by the extraordinarily and picturesquely patched trousers that his host wore. "I shall have a pair like them," he said, jocosely, and jotted down notes as to their appearance. When the actor and his friend took their leave, their hostess, in her lord's absence, pressed a parcel on them, which they accepted, thinking it was fish. "We couldn't very well decline it," remarked the actor. "It's the custom here. I believe. I vote we give it to the first man we meet. By the way, I suppose it's fish." The parcel was opened and found to contain the russers of the host. The two strangers ran back, and surprised the fisherman mending nets in his wife's skirts. It was a chilly day and he had worn those precious trousers for seventeen years, yet he was much hurt because they were not accepted. Found: His Place at Last Found-His Place at Last. "Take a phrenological examination and learn what profession or calling in life you are best suited for," was the injunction painted on the showcase at the bottom of the stairway, and the young man who had been looking at it and studying the "exhibits" in the showcase went up the stairs to the second floor, where he found the phrenologist's office. "Is this where you examining people's heads?" he asked. "Yes, sir." "Well, I wish you'd run your fingers over, and tell me what I'm good for," said the caller. "I haven't found out yet." The phrenologist made a thorough examination of his head, but seemed in doubt. "To be perfectly, frank with you, my-friend," he said, "I can discover no marked characteristics on which to base any definite plan of life for you. There is no predominant development in any one direction." Here he paused a moment. "Have you ever tried any kind of occupation?" he asked. Years later, I tried life insurance, serving machines, real estate, bill-collecting and book canvassing, and made a failure of all of 'em. "What is your name, may I ask?" My name is Sweet. "Ah! exclaimed the biurologist. Young man, start grudgingly factory. My word for it, your name, and that business will make a winning combination." The young man paid the fee and went out with a sarcastic smile on his face. But the curious part of the story is that he, took the advice—and achieved success. Anthracite Gone Soil Washed, Electricity the Savior—By the Time City 3½ Mature Sun's Rays Will Be Conserved, Watercourses Will Be Chains of Reservoirs and Air Will Fertilize Earth—So Says Dr. Steinmatz. Dr. Charles Proteus Steinmetz, professor of electrical engineering at Union College, Schenectady and consulting engineer of the General Electric Company, predicts that all young men now living will see the exhaustion of our simply of anthracite. The natural course then will be, to rely upon our deposits of soft coal for protection against freezing, but the Government will Dr. Steinmetz's opinion, will be obliged to prohibit this or the air we breathe will become permeated with polsonous gases. "The hope of the futures for life, as Dr. Steinmetz sees it, lies in electricity. will have to be devised for college the joint power of all these couses and rivers. That is what we will do when we face the possibillity freezing. "There are hard times coming future generations. We can see in what direction things will be doing these things, but the times come when they will have to be have now. They will have to be the sunshine. They will appraise that it takes a lot of electrical power to produce a little heat." The United States that is to come will be a country entirely devoid of its present river scenery. The rivers of the future will be merely a succession of sluggish lakes, with electrical power stations in between. All the little streams will have been utilized and their combined strength, converged into the great bodies of water that are to supply the heat, light and power of the future. But even the husbanding of all our water power won't be sufficient. There must be economy along other lines. The energy of the sun itself must be trapped and saved. Our building methods will have to undergo a change. Provision will have to be made for the utilization of the sun's rays in the heating of our (or somebody else's) homes. Dr. Steinmetz also sees in the mind's eye the city of the future—a collection of office buildings, factories and bachelor apartments. All the married men with their families will have moved to the water-courseless country. The development of the uses of electricity is already bringing this change about. Dr. Steinmetz took this look into the future in a lecture at the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 33 West Thirty-ninth street. The lecture was given for the New York Electrical Trade School, and most of the audience were students from that institution. Dr. Steinmetz's subject was "The Future of Electricity." Dr. Steinmetz said that the handle-cap against electricity now is its high cost of production. That high cost is occasioned largely by the irregular nature of the distribution. Electricity supplied for twenty-four hours to a mill can be obtained on one cent per kilowatt hour, whereas the electricity used for lighting purposes would cost ten times as much. The hope of the future for economy, in Dr. Steinmetz's opinion, lay in the organizing of electrical power supply so that it would go out erenly over the twenty-four hours, and not in a haphazard and unsystematic way as at present. "The cost of production," said Dr. Steinmetz, "depends on the distribution of the 'loads', and when they can be evened out over the twenty-four hours in a systematic way the end will have come for kerosene and gas as illuminants." The same conditions will usher in the age of cooking by electricity, if the coal supply hasn't given out before then. "The time will come," said the professor, "when we will have no more coal, and it is not far in the future; Anthracite will not last long; many of us who are here will be alive when the last is gone. Many of us will see the time when there is only soft coal. Some of you may see the time when soft coal is exhausted, but probably not, for there is a supply of this even in Greenland's icy mountains. But nevertheless, we can see the end, and when we approach it what are we going to do to keep from freezing? That seems to be the problem that the next generation will have, to meet, and maybe we ourselves. "But the Nation, also will have to wake up to the problem of the poles that escapes in the burning of soft coal. Look out around Pittsburgh where we see the pine trees dying. They have been poisoned. The evergreen tree, like ourselves, has only one set of lungs. Other trees get a new set every year. If you go through all those valleys where the great steel plants are, you will never drop a pine. It may be even before the soft coal is gone that we may have to drop its use, that we will wake up to the viciousness of the practice of burning it. "And what does this mean? It means that we must use electrical power. When we reach the end of the soft coal the only remaining sources that will keep us from freezing are the water powers. We are developing the country's water power now, but we are only making a beginning. G in the single State of Massachusetts there is more water power going to waste than is found in Niagara herself. "Electricity in the future will have to solve the problem of collecting the water, power. Now we convert it where we find, it into electricity, we haven't started collecting it as yet. We have been dreaming of transporting Niagara's power to New York. They will never do that, that the different powers joined, together may feed the same system. What we get to-day, however, of our real water power is a mere nothing. No attempt is made to get the enormous power that goes to waste in the spring, floods. Look at the enormous unused power in the little creeks, and rhyblets. New, methods will have to be devised for collecting the joint power of all these creeks and rivers. That is what we will have to do when we face the possibility of freezing. "There are hard times coming for future generations. We can, see now in what direction things will tend. We think now it is not worth while doing these things, but the time will come when they will have to be done. They won't live, inf houses such as we have now. They will have to collect the sunshine. They will appreciate that it takes a lot of electrical power to produce a little heat." But in Dr. Steinmetz's opinion there is a vaster problem facing the nations of the world—a problem which only electricity can solve. Thathas to do with the exhaustion of the soil. It's a cardinal principle that you've got to put back into the soil, what you've taken out if you are going to keep the soil's capital intact. That hasn't been done in this or other countries. New England, for instance, is no longer a farming country. The capital there, according to Dr. Steinmetz, has all been taken from the soil. The time will come, too, when the West will be exhausted, and we can go no further. "We will face the Pacific, and beyond that," said the speaker, "the millions of China." The attempt to fertilize the ground put back, De Stefnetz held, only a small proportion of what was taken out, and it would be only about ten years when the supply of saltpeter, used in fertilizer, will have been exhausted. "When the capital of our farms," said the speaker, "is exhausted, we will have to produce fertilizer. A large part of what we take out of the soil we'dump into the rivers as sewage. Billions of dollars of capital is carried down by them into the ocean. But we cannot hope to utilize all of this: "Electrical power is the only means that will combine the elements of the air necessary for a fertilizer. That process we are just reaching—the production of fertilizer from the air. It is not practical yet; the cost of electrical power is too great. This fertilizer is produced only in Sweden, where electrical power is extremely cheap. Every year we can see the necessity of restoring the capital to the farm," That situation will have to be met within our lifetimes." Referring again to the possibilities in our water supply, Dr. Steinmetz said: "We may get an enormous amount of power by collecting the water. There will be no more creeks and rivers. The rivers will be lakes joined by power stations. It will not be a question of saving the beauties of nature but of saving human life. All will have to be 'utilized, even the spring floods, in restoring what has been 'taken from the soil. We might be able to get along without physicians—the human race would probably continue—but we would not be able to get along without the electricians." Dr. Stéinmetz, speaking of the development of the uses of electricity on railways, said that its effect on the social life of the Nation had been and would be incalculable. "To realize it," said he, "go out into the country. An enormous change is gradually taking place. In the old days the country districts were becoming depopulated; the people were moving to the cities. Now conditions are changing. The city is rapidly sending its people back to the country. The overpopulation of the cities is being, relieved by the country becoming practically part of the cities. The city is fast becoming the place of business, with factories office buildings and boarding houses for bachelors. The families will live in the country. This will progress further and further until the Nation will again live in the country but work in the cities and towns." Dr. Steinmetz believes also that the application of electricity to railroads and to street car lines will ultimately afford the solution of the labor problem on the farm. "At present," said he, "the farmer complains that he hasn't enough help; that the farm has been depopulated. He wants a man for only a few weeks in a year, and then he is through with him. By operating, between the town and the farm the electric roads will make it possible for the town man to meet those periods of demand and to work in the factories the rest of the time.

Y.—In the Lewis Avenue, Congregational Church, Sunday morning, the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Robert J. Kent, preached on "All Fullness, Christ." The text was from Cobham 1:19. "For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell." Dr. Kent said: Jesus Christ is being better understood and better appreciated all the time. Paul had a truer, and more glorious conception of Him thirty-five years after the crucifixion than the disciples who had lived in intimate fellowship with Him during His ministry. Under the tuition of the Spirit the beauty and grandeur of His character, the magnitude and inestimable value of His service to God and humanity grew upon men. The language of eulogy is taxed to its uttermost in describing the glory of His person and position. In the four verses immediately preceding the the text three statements of sublime significance are made. He is the image of the invisible God! The universe was created by Him and for Him! He is the head of the church! Therefore in all things He has pre-eminence. That pre-eminence has not been changed as the centuries have passed. While doctrines and theologies have held and lost the attention of men, their interest has been increasingly centred on the person of Jesus. Christian experience is verifying the statement of the text that all fullness dwells in Jesus Christ. The word "fullness" by itself is an empty word; the "fullness of God" is glorious, but misty. It is when we take up one by one the qualities with which Christ was so richly endowed by the Father that we begin to appreciate the meaning of the text. In Him is the fullness of power. It was the power of Christ that at first gained the eager attention of men. We may not fully understand the mighty deeds He performed; in the confusion of thought at the present time regarding the miracle of the Gospels we may feel utterly perplexed. But that a deep and abiding impression of power was made by the Master on the people of His day there cannot be the slightest doubt. That impression was voiced by the two sad-hearted disciples who journeyed to Emmaus and when the unrecognized Jesus asked them what things had come to pass that so deeply moved them replied: "Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people." The story that Mark has written aims to present Christ as the mighty worker; and John tells us that his purpose in writing was to picture Christ as the Son of God. The early Christian church was conscious of the possession of power, of power which it derived from its invisible but ever-present Lord. It saw it working in the regeneration of men's hearts, in the reformation of their lives, in the transformation of communities. Christianity was not merely a new philosophy, a new form of worship; it was the power of God unto salvation to every one who accepted it. That power has not waned during the centuries. Christ has seen omen of the rich and poor, the prince and peasant, the learned and illiterate, the laint and sinner, have been drawn to Him. They have consecrated heart and life to Him. In spite of the most determined and malignant opposition, the gospel of His kingdom has oen preached throughout the world. Nothing could stop it. He has erected His judgment seat among men, and more and more the words, thoughts, deeds, the lives and characters of men and nations are being brought to judgment before Christ. There was a time when men supposed that by violence they could tie it and failed; the Jewish rulers tried it when they crucified Jesus, and failed; Saul of Tarsus tried it and failed. Who would dream that it could be done to-day? Surely the years have demonstrated that the fullness of power resides in Jesus. There is in Christ the fullness of wisdom. We do not class Christ among the learned men of the world. He was not a writer of many books. He wrote nothing. We do not include Him among the great philosophers of the ages. There is a philosophy of Christianity, but Christianity is not a philosophy. We do not find a wonderful versatility of knowledge in the discourses of Jesus. He did not talk of many things, yet the men of the early days, and the thoughtful men of subsequent, generations, have been profoundly impressed with His wisdom. He knew the things of greatest concern to men; He knew them with a clear, searching intuition. He knew God, His character, His purpose, His plans. The Father had revealed Himself to His Son. He knew man, his joys and sorrows, his aspirations and temptations, his sinfulness and his glorious possibilities. He knew the secrets of peace, of joy. He knew the things that give deepest and most enduring satisfaction; the bread of life, and the water of life. Jesus is the world's teacher. One of His most precious titles is Master. Not only in the truth He taught, but in the way He taught it, He was perplex. By precept and parable and example He had taught the principles that lie at the foundation of humanity's progress. Men-who want to know what is best for themselves and for the world still sit reverently at Jesus' feet. In the discussion of the vital problems of the present age, men ask, What did Jesus say? For He dealt with the things that most concern the heart and life, and, therefore, He dealt with the questions of perennial interests... The fullness of love is in Jesus. Love divine is a tree that has many branches. One is compassion, another pity, another patience, another pardon, another sacrifice. The infinite pity and compassion of God looked out through the eyes of Jesus upon deformed and unfortunate men. His heart went out to those who had lost the spring and joy of life, or who had never known them. He saw the darkened home, the saddened heart, and His tears of tender sympathy flowed. A wise and wise-hearted man who is constantly dealing with youthful culprits has said that his own aim is to call forth what is best in the boys; to awaken a sense of honor, manliness, a noble ambition in them. This is what Jesus did. Love divine in Him reached down to sinful, broken men in order to lift them up and heal them. He awakened hope and resolute endeavor. He made men feel that they could be pardoned and begin a new life. He took them by the hand, as He did the girl who the neighbors said was dead, but Jesus danced on the sleep, and said, Arise. And thisalmight found its crowning proof and glory in the cross; so that, when you speak of great love, you naturally point to Calvary. Now all these and many other qualities were united in Christ. Other men have been great because of some one rare quality of personality; Jesus possessed them all. Therefore, He has never ceased to interest the world. From the day He returned after the soul-struggle in the wilderness to the banks of Jordan until He died on Calvary, He lived without seeking it in the public eye. After His death, instead of forgetting Him, men became more interested in Him. The eyes of the world have never ceased to look upon Him. Theologies have come and gone; the church has had its ups and downs; but Jesus is always the centre of interest. There stand on my library shelf two large volumes fresh from the press. They are a dictionary of Jesus, what He said and did. And they happen to stand alongside of a volume on "Jesus Christ and the Social Question." It suggests the unfalling interest of thoughtful men in Jesus. They are often satisfied with what has been said and written regarding Him. There will be other dictionaryes, other lives of Christ, in the coming years. And when great social problems are discussed, the question of the home, of the wages, of capital and labor, of human brotherhood, men will study to do they now to the Gospel to study afresh what Jesus said. Let there be discovered the merest fragment of some ancient manuscript containing in mutated form some saying of Jesus and the Gospel, of which the graphed around the world, and the fragment becomes priceless. How are we to explain this undying interest in Jesus? Not in any of the outward circumstances or conditions of His life. How limited and meager it was! A life of poverty; a brief life; beginning in a manager, ending on a cross. A life outside the circles of libraries and great thinkers, outside the circles of wealth and social position. The secret of its unique command upon the interest of men is given in the text: "It pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell." The hope of the world is in Him. To Him we bring our burdens and perplexities. To Him we come for comfort and strength. To be in vital relation to Him is our highest privilege. Having Him as our personal Lord and Master we have life's highest prize. He is God's richest gift to the world. He is the clearest interpretation to humanity of the infinite love of love and wisdom and power of God. The divine art brings the bosom of Jesus; the divine voice speaks through.His lips; the divine help is given through His service; the divine life is imparted through fellowship with Him. The leadership of the world belongs to Jesus. The fullness of God dwells in Him to accomplish the eternal purpose of God; the establishment of the kingdom of love in human hearts, He has been equipped for the service of leadership. To Him has been given fullness of vision that He may see the way; fullness of power that He may overcome every obstacle; fullness of love that He may win men and make them follow Him. He who died on the cross will occupy the throne; the despised and rejected of men will receive universal praise and love. To hasten the day when all shall know Him, when the eternal purpose of redeeming love shall be fulfilled, he should be one of our supreme duty. To that work we should consecrate our lives. It should kindle our enthusiasm. Jesus should be supreme in our thought and speech, our affection and devotion. May He be our leader! May we gladly, enthusiastically follow Him! "The Men Did the Work Faithfully." You cannot set the world right, or the times, but you can do something for the truth, and all you can do will certainly tell if the work you do is for the Master, who gives you your share. And so the burden of responsibility is lifted. This assurance makes peace, satisfaction and repose possible, even in the partial work done upon earth. Go to the man who, is carving a stone for a building. Ask him where that stone is going, to what part of the temple, and how he is going to get it into place, and what does he do? He points you to, the builder's plans. This is only one stone of many. So, you have to know how your little achievement is going into God's plan, point them to your Master, who keeps the plans, and then go on doing your little service as faithfully as if the whole temple were yours to build.—Phillips Brooks. God Watches Us Lovingly. The thought of God's eye upon us is usually looked upon as a thought to strain and bridle us in the hour of temptation and carelessness; and so it is. But with our selfish love of forbidden things we miss what is meant not merely to restrain us, but to be the greatest and most unfailing of our comforts. The thought that God sees us always is His great encouragement and help to His children in doing right. His eye is not the eye of a judge and ruler only, but of a shepherd and father, the lover of the souls of men, these poor souls of ours and of our brethren, not sparing even His own Son for them. We are being watched by an eye of tenderness and sympathy deeper and truer than eye that of any man on earth for his suffering friend.—Church The Good Life.

They don't break like glass ones when the big guns go off, and it is said they "give more penetrating beam both at night and in foggy weather." About 2500 different kinds of animals are known on earth—that is, warm-blooded, milk-giving creatures, like our common domestic animals. To avoid confusion with other creatures, one ought to call them mammals, meaning milk-giving animals. Bats were the only family of native mammals found on the thousands of small islands in the Pacific. These islands are so far away from the great continents that no mammals but the flying bats could reach them. The variety of bats known on earth is about 400. Water pipes of terra_gotta were used in Crete forty centuries ago.

It is subsequently submitted to great pressure. It is afterward molded into form by means of heated dies, under pressure. It is very hard and elastic and takes a high finish. Dr. Fraenkel, of Berlin, in a paper recently read before the Society of Medicine of that city, gave striking figures concerning the war waged by medicine against consumption. In 1881 the death rate from this disease was $2.5 in every 10,000, and the latest returns shows that it has been reduced to 17.25. This satisfactory state of things Dr. Fraenkel attributes party to the discoveries of Koch, and he divides the honors equally between prophylactic methods and the system of isolation now widely practiced in Germany. STRAW FOR HATS. How the Wheat is Planted and Garnered—Blenching the Stalks. Few people know where the straw for making summer hats comes from. A great part of it is grown in Italy. To make suitable straw the wheat is sown as thickly as possible, in order that the growth of the plant may be impoverished, as well as to produce a thin stalk having toward the end from the last knot the lightest and longest straw. The wheat blooms at the beginning of June, and is pulled up by the roots by hand when the grain is half developed. If allowed to remain in the ground a longer time the straw would become brittle. About five dozen uprooted branches, the size of the compass of two hands, are firmly tied together into little sheaves and stowed away in barns. Then the straw is again spread out to catch the heavy summer dews and to bleach in the sun. After additional bleaching the straw is put into small bundles and classified. Finally it is cut close above the first joint from the top and again tied up in small bundles containing about sixty stalks each.—Golden Halfpenny. Prehistoric Drawings: Dr. Rene Jennel, of Toulouse, has made an interesting discovery of a cave with prehistoric drawings between Fox and Le Mas d'Azil, in the Department of Ariege.

The date of the drawings, which are in red and black, can be roughly determined by the fact that they include reindeer.—From The Athenaeum. MR.

POLICE DEPARTMENT NEW YORK BREAKING A NEW POLICE HORSE TO THE USE OF SADDLE AND HEAD-GEAR. BURMESE GIRLS WORSHIPING BUDDHA IN THE CAVES OF BIRGYI. BURMESE BUDDHISTS. Worship of the image of Buddha as practiced in Burma is vividly delineated in the photograph on this page. It is the boast of the Burmese that nowhere, unless possibly in Ceylon are the teachings of the great Gautama preserved and followed with the purity that they are in Burma. Yet taking the teachings as they have come down to us, no one can conceive of the teacher accepting or in any sense approving the rites practiced by his followers of this generation; they are so utterly alien to his doctrine as we conceive it. The Buddhists priests have their own way of reconciling the formality, the rites and ceremonies of the worship in their temples with the Buddhism that Gautama taught, but to us it seems that it is removed from it as far as a pontifical mass in St. Peter's is from the simplicity of a Quaker meeting. The extraordinary fact is that Gautama, born as is supposed in 540 B. BURMESE GIRLS WORSHIPING BU C.—about the time that Ezra and Nehemiah were gathering their people to return to the Holy Land by permission of Cyrus—began to declare his faith in opposition to the Brahmanism which had dominated the thought of India for more than a thousand years, should have been able to establish it single-handed, and that in our time, twenty-five centuries later, it survives, and is the creed of five hundred million human beings. As far as we can gather from the traditions that have come down to us, Gautama revolted from Brahmanism, and like Ecclesiastes, sought spiritual peace by various means. He first tried philosophy, and then bodilyusterites by which he nearly lost his life. At last he made his great discovery, as he states in his sacred writings, that "To cease from sin, to get virtue, to cleanse one's own heart, is the only way to peace. This," he said, "is the doctrine of Buddha." To do it desire, to make absolute self-surrender to God; to be utterly indifferent to the world, sustained by the inward life, "to be nothing," until finally individuality was swallowed up in the Nirvana, that was Buddha's idea as it appears to the modern student. It is difficult to understand how such a doctrine could have become corrupted into the Buddhism that kissed the toe of an image, if we had not seen men prostrating themselves before a crucifix and praying before a relic.—Christian Herald. A Tree 1200 Years Old. Whatever the age of the trees in this country, the Prince of Wales can assert that he has seen one in Japan twelve hundred years old.

Twelve hundred years is a long period in which to trace the history of a tree, but it is only half the age of the present dynasty, and they were able to tell the prince as plain a tale of the pine tree's growth as of the descent of their present emperor.—London Globe.

During almost his entire journey he was lost to communication with the outside world. At 12.30 p. m. on Wednesday, March 29, a cable despatch was sent through the Western Union Telegraph Company from New York to Nairobi, in British East Africa, a station thirty days' march from Livingstone's headquarters; and a reply was received through the Postal Telegraph Cable Company shortly after noon on the following Friday, an interval of less than fifty hours. The cable despatch was transmitted first to the Azore Islands, and thence to Lisbon, Glbaltar, Malta, Alexandria, Port Said, Suez, Aden, Zanzibar and Mombasa, on the East DDHA IN THE CAVES OF BIRGYI. African coast. Thence it was sent inland to Nairobi by telegraph, and from that point was conveyed thirty miles to the house of the recipient, the total approximate distance being slightly more than 10,000 miles. Owing to the difference in time between New York and Nairobi, the message lost eight hours in transmission, and consequently was not received till Thursday—otherwise the two days occupied by its journey and the return of the answer might have been shortened considerably. Unique Bath Apparatus. A novel bathing apparatus, the invention of an Oregon man, is shown in the illustration below. This portable apparatus was designed to be utilized for encasing all of the human body, applying a vacuum about it and supplying oxygen to the body from the lungs only. By this method poison can be driven out of the system. It is also designed for use as a thermal or sweat bath and for im- A man standing inside a glass chamber, with various mechanical devices attached to his body.

The receptacle is in the form of a huge glass bowl, sufficiently large to entirely encase the human body when sitting and all of the body except the head when standing. It is made in two airtight sections. Washington S'ar. Women Workers. It is desirable that women of all classes of society should work; and as in the poor households the wages of the husband do not suffice to all the common needs, we must resign ourselves to see the women add to their absorbing household cares industrial occupations in order to eke out the all too small earnings of the head of the household.—Jules Simon in L'Ouvrière. The times are propitious of evil towards a divided people. Of the Negro especially is this true, because among the very people among whom he lives, moves and exercises his being he is considered a bane; and if from his effort and hands beneficent results are hurried on the way, the tongue of the maligner is not silenced, nor are the pens of the critics blunted. Proscriptive laws, circumscribing and eliminating our rights are the orders of the day, and a vast majority of the people of this republic smile in silent acquiescence. If we look to the east we see a great throng of silent, sympathizing citizens, whose sins are the sins of omission, wo condemn in though the action of the few, but dread to signalize their opposition in open speech; who, like the fabled "Youngster at school, more sedate than the rest, Who had his integrity put to the test; His comrades had plotted an orchard to rob, And asked him to come and assist in the tob They blame and protest but join in the plan. They share in the plunder but pity the man." And if occasionally a defender of popular rights—such as are guaranteed every citizen by the organic law of the land—should arise he loses his influence amid the boisterous countercondemnations of the many, and alas! his propaganda dies a-burning. In spite of all this, and more, we cannot afford to shroud ourselves in sackcloth and ashes, for the voices of ten millions of souls say "no." The sacred dust of our sires, whose labors wrought into a thriving republic, forest-clad America, the fruit of the ingenuity of Columbus, say "no." The spirit of Douglas, Lincoln and Garrison, whose influence and agitation broke the peace of a united nation and brought freedom and peace out of confusion, say "no." The dead, the fallen heroes of Gettysburg, Shilloh and The Meadows, their sympathizers and descendants, whose tears dampened the gory blue, say "no." The struggling and oppressed of all ages who, as a result of their contention against graft and greed, pillage and plunder, but, who now tip the cup with dead hand, to freedom, say "no." Our wives and loved noes, our hopes and ambitions, our strife to build up a stalwart people, virtuous and thrifty, lovers of equal rights before the law, say "no." What then should be our course? Of what should our activity be characteristic? Let the lights of past ages answer the query. Washington was truthful, Lincoln was brave, truthful and daring. Spurgeon was zealous and religious. Truth, bravery and religion, then, form the insignia for the banner under which we must sail in order to withstand the iniquitous results of the zeal of the forces of evil. To do this we shall have to knit a coil of unity and bind it about our necks and train together in the course outlined by this trilo of virtues. ROY REGINALD. Music isn't necessarily fragmentary because it comes in pieces. ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ Pleasant echoes of the recent grand lodge communication continue to be heard. No thoughtful delegate could have carried away other than pleasant recollections of the good work accomplished and excellent reports rendered. This should the more inspire every brother to honest and noble endeavors so as to make this the banner year of them all. Short meetings are what each lodge should have. One hour and a half is long enough to keep a brother in the lodge room, especially after he has done a hard day's work. The worshipful master who makes it a point to have his meetings short and interesting will prove a successful one, and the brethren will sing high praises to him for so doing. Several of the lodges have reported interesting exercises on St. John's Day. It fell to the lot of the mother lodge of Georgia to pay the first claim from the Relief Association. These claims were for the Widow Bailey, and Waldo. They were received last week from Brother Thomas and immediately paid the beneficiaries. These amounts were received with thanksgiving and praises long and loud were given the noble order for the good that is being done. Several claims were filed against the Relief Association during the week. As soon as same is proven, prompt payment will be made. Grand Chapter Call.

JOHNSON, Royal Grand Patron. MRS. MARY L. AYERS, Royal Grand Secretary. Following was the program of King Solomón Lodge No. 14, A. F. and A. M. Albany, in honor of St. John's Day, Sunday night, June 2S, at A. M. E. Church: Reading of Charter, Introducing Colored Masonry, W. M. Remarks. Significance of St. John's, Day, Brother C. H. Macarthy. * Principles of Masonry, Brother Jacob Jackson. An annual celebration of St. John's Day was held at Jefferson Sun Lodge No. 242 on June 21st. Five lodges were represented—Buckhead Star No. 213, Eatonton No. 170, New Enon No. 269, Springfield and the above named lodge. This was one of the grandest meetings of the Masonic Order ever held in the county of Putnam. Brother J. J. Harris of Eatonton Lodge introduced the services and offered prayer. He then spoke a few words on the Masonic principles and our obligations to each other as brethren. The services were continued by Rev. D. C. Bracy of Buckhead Star Lodge, who preached one of the ablest sermons that ever fell from his lips. The sermon was rich and highly enjoyed by all. Brother Bracey is one of the noblest clergymen of our race. In his discourse he urged the brethren to stand strong in their obligations. Collection $6.00. We then formed a march back to the lodge room. Several speeches were made by the craftsmen. After dinner the brethren returned to the lodge room, shaking glad hands and bidding goodbye to all. H. A. SLAUGHTER, Secretary. BUSY ON THE FARM. There is small excuse for being idle on the farm. No matter how bad the weather, the man who manages well will always find something for his hands and himself to do in the barn or the shed or the shop—and every farm should have a shop. There will be harness to oil or ladders to make or mend, or axes to grind or saws to sharpen, or a dozen and one things to do to have tools and utensils ready for bright days—plenty to do besides whittling and whistling.—Farmer's Home Journal. STUFFED ONIONS These make a delicious and substantial dish for luncheon. Select large onions. Peel and slightly parbell, then remove the heart of each onion and fill the vacancy with equal parts of moistened bread crumbs and chopped beef or chicken; season well and fill as full as possible. Arrange in a well-buttered baking dish, and pour stock over them. Cover the dish and bake in a moderate oven one hour. If you lack stack place a piece of butter on top of each onion and baste frequently with hot water.—Boston Post.
