COTTON GINNERS MEET
Hope to Profit by the Ousting of Gulf Compress Company.
FARMERS - UNION COMMITTEE
Plan to Ship Direct to Foreign Mills is Endorsed—Will Save $4,250,000 in Mississippi Alone.
Jackson, Miss.—A meeting of the compress ginners of the southern states was held here for the purpose of perfecting an organization and making plans to substitute the compress gin for the large compress plants now in operation in the cotton belt.
The several manufacturing concerns supplying round and square bale compress gins are fully represented at the gathering, which is of more than usual significance in view of the fact that a special meeting of the federal court was held here at which Judge Miles heard the petition of Attorney General Fletcher, asking that the receivership of the Gulf Compress company not be allowed to interfere with the decree of the state court declaring that the Gulf Compress Company is an unlawful combine and ordering it ousted from the state.
The compress ginners frankly acknowledge that they hope to profit by the ousting of the Gulf Compress company, and that they will make an effort to secure control of the ginning and compressing in this state. One strong argument they advance is that the gin compress saves the farmer $3.50 per bale on his cotton, which in Mississippi alone means an aggregate saving of $4,250,000 per annum. The Lowry round bale interests, the Farmers' Gin and Compress company, the Southern Compress company and the Munger Gin company are the largest concerns represented.
Memphis, Tenn.—Measures which bid fair to almost revolutionize the present methods of exporting the cotton crop to the foreign mills and spinners were recommended and heartily endorsed by the 'Farmers' Union national convention committee, composed of one man from each cotton state, which met here. To every member of the union was sent an agreement for him to sign and forward to the local secretary of the union pledging his individual support in a direct marketing of the present cotton crop.
The committee strongly advocated shipping direct to the foreign mills and spinners, which they claimed could easily be accomplished by furnishing the same business advantages as the heavy exporter now gives to the mills. The growers have been asked to pledge their cotton to them, and the sales will be apportioned among the states according to the amount pledged. This co-operation, which has practically been pledged by every member of the union, means that the market will not be overfed and the market prices will no longer be controlled by the speculators, and competition among sellers will be done away with.
- BATTLESHIPS REACH AUCKLAND.
American Fleet Drops Anchor in New Zealand Port.
Auckland, New Zealand.—Sixteen white ships, comprising the battleship division of the United States Atlantic fleet, under command of Rear Admiral Charles S. Sperry, arrived here at 8:40 o'clock Sunday morning and anchored in two columns in the roadstead abreast the city, after a voyage of thirty-three days from San Francisco.
When the warships entered the harbor the usual salutes were exchanged between them and the shore batteries and the Australian flagship Powerful and the cruisers Encounter and Pioneer.
The city is elaborately decorated in honor of the visit of the Americans, and thousands of persons have already come into the city in order to assist in paying homage to the officers, and men.
WORK FOR MANY MEN.
More Than $2,000,000 Worth of Work Awaiting the Idle.
Pittsburg, Pa—Calling for 24,000 tons of steel plate, an order has been placed with Pittsburg steel mills, forcing idle machinery into action and summoning more men back to work. With Pittsburg steel plate manufacturers figuring on contracts for upward of 7,000 tons of plates for steel cars for railroad requirements, there comes another contract that is to be awarded in a brief period.
New York City has awarded the or in round figures a value amounting contract for the construction of the Amityville pipe line, a new water supply main of steel
Crowd Watch Race With Death.
Indianapolis, Ind.-More than a score of men and women stood on the banks of White river seven miles from Indianapolis and watched Hubert Staley, 17 years of age, and John Weston, 19, run a frantic race with death for 200 feet across the Monon railroad bridge. The race was a losing one, for the young men, before they had reached the end of the structure, were hurled to death by a passenger train.
Population of Chicago.
Chicago, Ill.—Chicago has a population of 2,425,000, according to the 1990 city directory, which has just been issued. This is a gain over last year of $3,000.
FIRED ON TROOP TRAIN.
Three Men Killed and Eleven Wounded
By Strikers at Blocton, Ala.
Birmingham, Ala.—Three men were
instantly killed and eleven injured,
two of whom will probably die, when
striking, miners fired into a passenger
train on the Birmingham Mineral rail-
road at Blocton, Ala.
The dead are: Conductor Joe T. Colline; O. Z. Dent, deputy sheriff; Willard Howell, non-union miner. The injured are: Major F. H. Dodge, superintendent of safety, Tennessee Coal company, wounded in hand and leg; E. E. Cox, superintendent of mines, Tennessee Coal company, slightly wounded in knee; A. E. Cross, chief clerk, superintendent's office, wounded in arm and knee; J. C. Johnson, deputy sheriff, slightly wounded in side; A. C. Bryant, deputy sheriff, slightly wounded in side; J. B. Cornett, deputy sheriff, wounded in the back; W. H. McAulay, soldier, slight injuries; M. A. Pearson, soldier, wounded in left shoulder; J. C. Martin, wounded in head, back and arm; A. J. Myer, laborer, wounded in leg; Robert Sigmon, wounded in arm and breast.
The train was a special bearing non-union men to the Blocton mines under guard of soldiers and deputies. On the outskirts of the town, the engineer suddenly saw a log across the track and at once a fusillade was fired into the train. The engineer did not stop, but let the cowcatcher throw the log, from the track and put on full speed. The place where the attack was made was in a cut, the ground being on a level with the lower part of the windows. The assailants behind the rocks above poured down a murderous fire directly into the windows and at the engineer. Practically every window in the train was broken, and shots struck all parts of the engine and cab. The trail proceeded to Blocton and the dead and injured were returned to Birmingham. Dogs were hurried to the scene, and took trails through the woods directly to the union quarters. Eight men were arrested and other arrests are expected.
Governor Comer held a hurried conference with Lieutenant Colonel Hubbard, commanding the militia, and another company was hurried to Blocton.
The trouble caused widespread indignation, and a general demand is being made that more strenuous action be taken looking to the preservation of order.
CALL IS ISSUED TO CRIMINALS.
Convention of Lawbreakers is 'Planned for New York.
New York City.-POLICE headquarters has heard that Dr. Ben Reilman of Chicago, who calls himself "King of Tramps," and who has spent the last twenty years doing rescue work among the inhabitants of the under world, has issued a call for a "convention of criminals" to meet in this city. To that part of Dr. Reilman's program which is directed toward the obtaining of safe conduct and immunity from arrest of the delegates while they are in the city, Inspector McCaffery in charge of the detective bureau made strong objection. "I'll order the arrest of every criminal who arrives for the convention," said Inspector McCaffery, and "I am not yet sure that I won't arrest those persons who are getting up the affair. We want no assembly of criminals in this city." Dr. Reilman says: "It was suggested that all of the criminals will agree to no criminal act while they are in the city."
According to the prospectus of the convention criminals from all parts of the country are to meet here to discuss their relations to society, to the police and to one another.
8 MEN KILLED AND 20 INJURED.
By the Explosion of a Boiler in a Rolling Mill.
York, Pa.—Elgut men were killed, nearly a score more or less seriously injured and thousand of dollars' worth of property damaged by the explosion of a boiler in the York rolling mill. The dead are:
John Clency, York; Benjamin Bremer, Harry Seachrist, Paol Pucil, Alfred Struck, John Slossman and Harry Feger, all of Columbia, Pa.; Edward Flger, Marietta, Pa.
The boiler, which was located in the center of the mill, exploded without a moment's warning.
The mill had been closed down for about a week and two score of men were engaged in making repairs to an engine. The men were working close to the boiler and when the explosion occurred not one of them was able to make his escape.
The shock was so terrific that it demolished a large portion of the mill and sent heavy pieces of twisted iron and metal in all directions.
OUR FLAG SHOT DOWN.
Loyalists Fire on Stars and Stripes Over Tabriz Consulate.
Washington, D. C.—The Tag of the United States consulate at Tabriz, Persia, has been shot down by loyalists, according to a dispatch received at the state department from American Consul Doty at that place. The consul also reports that a man standing near the door of the consular office was wounded.
The shooting is supposed to have been an incident of the disturbances which have been going on at Tabriz for some time and in both cases to have been accidental.
THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1908.
NOTIFICATION OF BRYAN
In Presence of Vast Assemblage He Accepts Nomination.
KERN ALSO MAKES SPEECH
Bryan Declares He Owes Nomination to the Rank and File and Pledges Himself to Guard Their Interests.
Lincoln, Neb.—In the presence of a vast assemblage which cheered him to the echo, William J. Bryan received from Henry D. Clayton of Alabama formal notification of, his nomination for the presidency of the United States.
Thrice honored by the democratic party as its standard bearer, Mr. Bryan, an plainly exhibited the pleasure it gave him once again to proclaim the principles for which he stood. His nomination for a third time, he declared in his speech of acceptance, could only be explained by a substantial and undisputed growth in the principles and policies for which he, with a multitude of others, had contended.
"As these principles and policies," he said, "have given me whatever political strength I possess, the action of the convention not only renews my faith in them, but strengthens my attachment to them."
The ovation accrived Mr. Bryan as he rode through the streets of Lincoln on his way to the state house, where the exercises were held, were non-partisan. It was the homage of the citizens of the western city of the plains to a distinguished neighbor. Almost the entire republican administration was represented, Governor Sheldon and many state officials lending their presence both in the parade and on the platform.
Before the notification and acceptance speeches were delivered, Norman M. Eack, chairman of the democratic national committee, who acted as presiding officer, called on John W. Kern, the vice presidential nominee, to make a speech. Mr. Kern responded in a few felicitous remarks, in which he gave unstinted praise to the non-partisan character of the exercises.
The speech of Mr. Bryan occupied the attention of the vast throng exactly one hour and at the conclusion of the address he and Mr. Kern retired to the state capitol, where they held a public reception.
ESPERANTO IS RECOGNIZED.
United States Appoints Representative to the Congress.
Washington, D. C.—Esperanto has been recognized officially by the United States government in the recent appointment of Mayrör Paul F. Straub, of the army medical corps, to represent this country in the fourth international esperanto congress to be held at Dresden, Germany, August 16-22, 1908. Belgium.was the first nation to give its official recognition to this remarkable language.
The war department library was the first institution in Washington to recognize the value of esperanto as an auxiliary language, and it began the accumulation of esperanto literature in January, 1906.
The total number of esperanto schools and societies throughout the world is practically 1,000.
EMPLOYEES' LIABILITY ACT.
75,000 Persons in Government Service Come Under Provisions. Washington, D. C.—Regulations carving into effect the law passed at the law session of congress commonly known as the government employees' liability act which went into effect on August 1, have been promulgated by Secretary Straus, of the department of commerce and labor. The new regulations were prepared for the guidance of officials and employees in the government service. A rough estimate places the number of employees who come within the provisions of the law at about 75,000.
DEATH TO BOLL WEEVIL.
Powdered Arsenate of Lead Will Kill the Pest.
Baton Rouge, La.-That powdered arsenate of lead may prove the solution of the boll weevil problem, is the suggestion made in a bulletin issued, by the state crop pest committee. The bulletin gives the results of some experiments made this year with the arsenate of lead, and mentions that in one instance it killed 70 percent of the boll weevils in the locality where it was tried. State Entomologist Newell says that two applications of the preparation will clear a field entirely of the weevils.
This is the first poison that the Louisiana state crop pest commission has endorsed for killing boll weevils.
WOMAN AERONAUT HURT
Parachute Fails to Open—Falls in Lake and Has Narrow Escape. Dallas, Texas.—Dropping from a height of nearly two hundred feet in thirty feet of water, her body buckled to the parachute which had failed to open promptly, Mile Pearl Lavon had a narrow escape from drowning in the lake at a local pleasure resort. Mile Lavon had entered into a balloon race with another aeronaut. Her balloon had not been properly inflated and she cut loose the parachute when over the center of the lake. She was rescued after having been under water three and one-half minutes. She was revived within half hour, but is suffering from the shock.
OF POLITICAL INTEREST.
Both Mr. Bryan and Mr. Taft are much pleased at the results obtained from the use of the phonograph for the dissemination of their political speeches.
Missouri has come to the front with a rush in the Taft baby naming contest. W. F. Heavner of Lebanon, Mo., announces himself the proud father of twins. As a good republican he has undertaken to perpetuate the whole tional ticket and the state ticket by naming one boy Howard Taft Heavner in honor of Judge Taft and the other Hadley Sherman Heavner, to honor the second place on the ticket, as well as Hadley, Missouri's republican candidate for governor.
W. J. Bryan is considering the suggestion of Harvey Garber, national chairman of Virginia, to place a personal letter in the hands of every voter in every doubtful state. Edgar B. Schmidt of Dayton, Ohio, went to Lincoln nto especially place the idea before the candidate.
"Just call me Mr.Taft and if you drop into colloquialism, call me Bill." This was Judge Taft's laughing reply when granting an audience to a number of newspaper men, who had severally addressed him as "Mr. Secretary," "Governor" and "Mr. Taft."
Richard V. Odlahan, for many years a leading writer with the New York Sun, will have general charge of the literary work for the republican national committee.
Senator Taylor of Tennessee has charge of the plan by which a straw vote will be taken in every state in the union.
Mr. Bryan has consented to speak at the Minnesota state fair, provided no admission to the grounds is to be charged.
The campaign for the election of state officers of South Carolina has stirred up a hot fight between the ministers and politicians of that state.
The ministers have taken the stump an dare bitterly opposing what they term "ring rule."
Mr. Tatt's fatal gift of beauty has led an Indiana burglar to steal ten thousand of his campaign buttons.
Mr. Bryan has issued an appeal to the "common people," asking for campaign contributions.
John Temple Graves, candidate of the independence party for vice president, underwent a slight operation in a private hospital in New York City.
The democrats of New England intend to make a fight to keep their section out of the republican column.
Heury Watterson has written several thousand letters to democratic editors waking them up to the importance of getting in behind Bryan.
Mr. Tatt has received from a Philadelphia admirer the left hind foot of a rabbit, gold mounted. The gift was accompanied by a note expressing the hope that the rabbit foot would offset the luck given to Mr. Bryan when he was presented with a horseshoe.
It is announced that William Randolph Hearst will start a daily paper in Atlanta, Ga., in the interests of the independence party.
Alton B. Parker, democratic candidate for presideit in 1904, delivered his first speech of the present campaign in behalf of Mr. Bryan and Mr. Kern before an audience of 2,000 persons at Temple Auditorium in Los Angeles, Cal.
Lincoln, Nebraska, Typographical Union voted to make William Jennings Bryan an honorary member. The action of the union was nearly unanimous, such opposition as there was being on the ground that the action might be construed as bringing politics into the union. To offset this Governor Sheldon, who is a republican, also was made an honorary member.
The headquarters of the democratic national committee have been formally opened in the Auditorium Annex, at Chicago.
Thomas E. Watson, the populist candidate for president, is busy making speeches in his home state, Georgia. Mr. Watson is fighting for the electoral vote of Georgia.
In order to relieve Taft of criticism on account of the Brownville soldiers, General Corbin has given out a hitherto unpublished dispatch from Roosevelt, showing that the order came directly from the president.
Mr. Bryan has an engagement to meet all the leading labor leaders of the country for a conference at Chicabo August 22.
Mr. Bryan is availing himself of the cool weather by utilizing every spare moment of his time in preparing the several sections of the speeches he will make. The one on tariff is expected to be an exhaustive treatment of the subject and will be one of the most important of his utterances during the campaign. The speech will be delivered at Indianapolis.
Norman E.-Mack, democratic campaign manager, is in almost daily conference with Mr. Bryan over the long distance telephone.
The action of the Western Tariff Association in refusing to make special rates to Lincoln, Neb., upon the occasion of the notification of Mr. Bryan has caused much disappointment among democrats who were preparing to take a monster crowd from the east.
A horseshoe bearing the inscription "traveling across the continent to bring good luck to Billy B." and the democratic party," has arrived at New Orleans tied to the rear-end of a passenger train. It was transferred to another road and started on-its journey to San Francisco.
SHIP WITHOUT COUNTRY
FLYING UNITED STATES FLAG
By Courtesy of Federal Government.
$200,000 Worth of Stolen: Goods
Were Recovered.
Mobile, Ala.—Captain William Swatridge of the steamer Goldsboro, that arrived in port from Puerto Cortez, in an interview with the Associated Press representative here, said: "I was sent out from New York city by E. D. Bolse, receiver for the estate of the Export Shipping company of New Jersey, to bring back the pirate ship Goldsboro.
"I received all possible assistance from the United States and British consuls at Puerto Cortez and, from the natives in general, but had some little trouble with the Honduran government in obtaining clearance papers. I notified the state department at Washington and Acting Secretary Adee notified the American consul at Puerto Cortez to give me clearance papers as well as a permit to hoist the American flag."
The steamer is a Clyde liner of 461 tons, and is about twenty years old. The federal government has agreed to permit the Goldsboro's return on the most favorable terms, waiving all port charges, etc., on the assumption that the stolen goods making up her cargo have never left their rightful owners. Even so, the costs of recovering-the merchandise are heavy, and of the $150,000 or $200,000 involved it, is said to be hard, likely that the owners will be able to get back more than a quarter.
Aside from the merchandise which they had purchased, the Balleys had with them about $50,000 in coin and bank notes, including 3,000 English sovereigns. The price paid for the Goldsboro was $17,500. Balley secured at Puerto Cortez registry for her and papers for himself as a Honduran citizen. He further obtained permission for the landing of the steamer's cargo on the ground that the goods were the property of Honduran citizens, and he had already purchased a banana plantation of 12,000 acres of which 5,000 acres were under cultivation, paying $20,000 in gold for the land. Then he sailed for Celba and Tela, where a little later the Goldsboro was overhaulled by the Tatumbla. She had begun to discharge her cargo, but it is said that the whole cargo, with the exception of 400 cases, about 30 tons, had been recovered, and that those cases were under guard, and would be brought north later.
The ship without country and flying the flag of the United States by permission, is in a bedraggled condition. The vessel needs general overhauling, all the paint being off and the decks in bad condition.
ENGLAND'S GOOD WISHES.
Papers Comment on Visit of Fleet to New Zealand.
London, England.—The arrival of the American Atlantic fleet at Auckland divides the attention of the editorial writers on the newspapers with King Edward's visit to Germany. The most cordial wishes are expressed for the success of the visit of the Americans and its political significance is fully discussed. The Daily Telegraph says:
"Nothing but good can come of an historic incident like this. So closely are the interests of Great Britain and America intertwined that it is obvious the moral to draw from the cruise is that it seasibly promotes the principles of The Hague peace conference and makes people breathe more easily in the confident hope for international tranquility. The historian of the future will lay his finger upon this epoch-making event as pregnant with mighty consequences.
The cruise of the American battleships marks in a most decisive fashion on the emergence of the United States as no longer a western but as cosmic power.
Train Falls Into Chasm.
Rhyllote, Nevada.—As the result of a washout on the Tonopah and Tidewater division, near Shoshone, Cal., a passenger train plunged into a chasm and three men were killed. The dead are Engineer Hamilton, Fireman Broadwell, W. N. Moore, a passenger, whose home is in Georgia.
The train was the Goldfield-Los Angeles express. Shoshone is in a desert county, where rains are rarely known, but cloudbursts occur at intervals. It is six miles north of Rhyolite and twenty-five south of Death Valley junction.
Six Persons Cremated.
New York City $ \mathrm{Slx} $ persons were burned to death in a tenement house at 332 East One Tundred and Twelfth street, four children between the ages of 8 and 12, an infant of two months, and an aged man. Other occupants of the tenement were injured jumping from windows, three severely

The Mystery of Human Lif By Elizabeth Stuart Phelps,

Either give it up, whole thing, as a tragedy too black for respect, and give with it all the beautiful beliefs which have come into it, some source of unutterable patience, or heroic faith, give frankly, God and goodness, Heaven and happiness, faith and ity and peace—give up all that makes life tolerable, death ab
I seems to me that there are, when all is said, but two ways, regarding the mystery of human life. Either give it up, whole thing, as if tragedy too black for respect, and give with it all the beautiful beliefs which have come into it if some source of unutterable patience, or heroic faith, give frankly, God and goodness, Heaven and happiness, faith and ity and peace—give up all that makes life tolerable, deathful, pain reasonable, and hope possible—or else accept the system of the at its worst, candidly admit its monstrous perplexities, and boldly swing whole array of them over, into the gaze of a sweet reasonableness which in the blackest of them the shadow of the eternal sun. If we make angel our spectres, we need not be afraid. In a word, if we can see in the facts of this life an argument for their justification or even their explana in another, we have gained a point of view of which the most brilliant see in this soothing world cannot deprive us.

bridal vell was ever so silly as a comet's tail. Hundred cubic miles of that wonderful appendage are out-welighed farful of air. By means of the spectroscope we have magically transported this fairy plume to our laboratories, and have covered that it is akin to the blue flame of our gas-stoves; the gas by which we cook and the delicate tresses of a carbon both consist of combinations of hydrogen and carbon, aptimately called by chemists "hydrocarbons." When it first appears in heavens, far removed from the sun, a comet is a talless blotch of light. a comet swims on toward the sun, the hydrocarbons of the tail split up the increasing heat into hydrogen gas and hydrocarbons of a higher boil point. With a still closer approach to the sun, these more resistant carbons eventually yield to the increasing heat and are decomposed in form of spot. Interplanetary space is airless. Hence the soot cannot be it must pursue the comet in the form of a dust train. The particles constituting that train are small enough to be toyed with by the pressurizing sun. No matter where the comet may be in its orbit, whether it has just entwined the solar system or is speeding away, that plume is inevitably tossed from the sun, just as if a mighty wind were blowing it from the celuminary. The appendage of shining dust is the symbol of the triumphant light over solar gravitation—Harper's Magazine.
Mankind's Emancipation From Evil Was Presented By Julia Ward Howe.
NE night recently I experienced a sudden awakening. I have vision of a new era which is to dawn for mankind and in women and women are battling equally, unitedly, for the uing and emancipation of the race from evil.
O
I saw men and women of every clime working like to unwrap the evils of society and to discover the whole of vice and misery, and to apply the remedies, and also to the influence that should best counteract evil and its attending suffering.
There seemed to be a new, a wondrous, ever permeating light, the g of which I cannot attempt to put in human words—the light of the new hope and sympathy blazing. The source of this light was born of hu endeavor, immortal purpose of countless thousands of men and women were equally doing their part in the world-wide battle with evil and w energy was bended to tear the mask from error, crime, superstition, g and to discover and apply the remedy.
I saw the men and the women standing side by side, shoulder to shoulder, a common, lofty, and indomitable purpose lighting every face with a g not of this earth. All were advancing with one end in view, one foot trample, one everlasting good to gain.
And then I saw the victory. All of evil was gone from the earth. Misery was blotted out. Mankind was emancipated and ready to march forward in a new era of human understanding, all encompassing sympathy and everpresent help. The era of perfect love, of peace passing understanding.

HE American clipper-ship era began in 1843, as a result of the growing demand for a more rapid delivery of tea from China, continuing under the stimulating influence of the discovery of gold in California, and ending with the outbreak of the Civil War. These memorable years form one of the most important and interesting periods of maritime history. They stand between the long, weary centuries during which man navigated the sea with oar and sail—a slave to unknown winds and currents, allike helpless in calm and storm—separating and at the same time connecting those ages of comparative darkness with the successful introduction of steam navigation, by which man has obtained mastery upon the ocean.
After countless generations of evolution, this ear witnessed the highest development of the wooden sailing-ship in construction, speed and beauty. Many of the clipper-ships—indeed, nearly all of them—made speed records which were not equalled by the steamships of their day, and more than a quarter of a century elapsed, devoted to discovery and invention in perfecting the marine engine and boiler, before the best speed records of the clipper-ships were broken. And even today there are not more than thirty ocean small steamers affloat whose speed excels the best twenty-four hours' run of the American clippers of fifty years ago, while their records under canvas, over courses encircling the globe, for the superb stake of commercial supremacy and championship of the seas, stand uhbake and unsurpassed.—Harper's Magazine.
Where the English City Is Supreme
By Frederick C. Howe
IE English city, too, is free from the spoils system. Jobs are filled for efficiency and not for pull, and the employee is retained during good behavior. This is a real democracy of merit. An alderman would think of demanding a city contract for himself as soon as he would the creation of an unnecessary job for a friend or relative. Public opinion, too, would tolerate the one about as quickly as it would the other. Not that the English
THE English city, too, is free from the spoils system. Jobs are filled for efficiency and not for pull, and the employee is retained during good behavior. This is a real democracy of merit. An olderman would think of demanding a city contract for himself as soon as he would the creation of an unnecessary job for a friend or relative. Public opinion, too, would tolerate the one about as quickly as it would the other. Not that the English city has any civil service laws. It doesn't need them. Public opinion regulates the service just as it dogs official conduct in other regards. This is the only kind of a merit system that protects the public from a bureaucratic administration.
It is along these lines that the English city is supreme. It has a fine sense of itself. It has an intolerant conscience. It commands the service of a high grade of citizenship. It has never known the ward-heeler, and is exacting in its demands on its councillmen. And the people delight in the city's success. They are proud of a fine tramway balance sheet. They applaud an efficient manager. They are glad when the city makes a profit. Not for the sake of the profit alone, but because of the success of it all. The people care for the city and talk city in a way that we do not and cannot compre-
This is one of the things we lack, this sense of a city. We have not yet aroused an organized public opinion that is jealous of the city's well-being. We expect inefficiency as a matter of course, and shrug our shoulders when an official goes wrong. And we do not expect the police and health departments, the civil service laws or the purely personal side of our political life to be above reproach. It is in its thrifty, commercial side that the English city excels. This is largely due to the fact that only tax or ratepayers vote. The council represents property, not persons. This gives a rather sordid, ungenerous tone to all discussion. For the taxes are assessed against the rental value rather than upon the capitalized value of the property itself. And the taxes are paid by the tenant and not by the owner. In consequence, the English councilman is always in terror of the taxpayer. And the people get the taxpayer's administration and an administration that is very timorous of anything which increases the rates.—From "The American and British City" in Scribner.

Thus an "Apache or ingu of Paris made a sketch of his life as he understood it. He began by making a picture of the woman he had loved. Then he remembered that before he met her he had lived in Africa. Africa made him think of palm trees and pyramids; and pyramids made him think of Napoleon. His picture was an extraordinary 'mixture of palm trees, negroes, pyramids and Napoleon invoking the centuries, to encourage men to kill one another.
One of the patients, an insane ex-physician, manufactures bludgeons and hatchets resembling the weapons used in prehistoric times. As he is too violent to be trusted with any sharp instrument, he makes his tools by breaking one piece of flint against another or by rubbing two pieces together to wear them down to the required shape. Having shaped them to his intention, "he fixes them in handles made of pieces of jasmine vine, or between strips made from the soles of old shoes. Some of the ingenuity exhibited by the violent insane gives cause for grave anxiety. It is impossible to watch an ingenious lunatic so well that he will not pick up something at some time to shape into a dangerous weapon. Some of the "harmless" cases demand surveillance by night and day.
Some of the inventions of the insane are of scientific value. A patient at Villejuif invented a "panification machine" by combining a bottle, a plank and small metallic tubes, to which he had fitted faucets. Having set up his machine he produced leaves of bread the size of a man's head. The bread was good—so good that it was decided to make the machine known. One day when it was in action the doctor suggested taking a photograph of it. The inventor watched him as if petrified for a moment; then he fell upon the machine, wrenched it apart and trampled it under foot. The invention—an exceedingly useful one—was lost, because no one had seen him make it and no one dares speak of it to him. To allude to it is to bring on a furious attack. Most lunatics, no matter how contented they may be, generally cherish a furive longing to escape. They collect wax from the polished floors, take the impressions of locks and make keys from, empty sardine boxes, epoxon handles or anything 'to be found. Dr. Marle's museum includes a collection of knives of strange and unheard of shapes. Some of them
have blades made from pieces or or slate and set in handles of steelets. Objects harmless in selves become dangerous wear through the ingenuity of madme Insane sculptors are as comme insane painters. The insane se hues out coarse statuettes, fan animals, ferocious, little horned grimacing devils. An ex-med carves all his soup bones. The old trade is still in his memo shown by the little screws-that makes out of the smaller plect bone. He works all day at his
less and ridiculous task. Another lunatic, who believes he is the incarnation of the soul of Beezelebub, passes his dime carving toy men out of wood. Each pair of his creations are joined together, now at the necks, now at the shoulders. Lunatics have been treated with great brutality in the past; but happily those days are over. There is no stronger proof of human progress than the modern treatment of the insane. In the comfortable asylums where doctors and nurses use their best efforts on behalf of their charges the madman is allowed to cherish his chimera. What an advance since the days of the great Pinel!—Harper's Weekly.
The Bath in France.
An Englishman will do well, especially if he goes to stay in an old fashioned house, to bring his guttapercha tub with him. I was staying many years ago in a French country house, and had neglected to do so. I asked for one in the morning. The footman said he would look, and came back in triumph with one. "What do they do here?" I asked. "Madame la Marquise takes the big bath regularly once a month." "And Monsieur le Marquis?" I asked. "He never uses it." It would, however, be a mistake to imagine from this that Frenchmen are not so clean as we are. This horror of the tub is not necessarily an objection to cleanliness. The Frenchman washes himself in compartments under the impression that the water which cleanses one part of his body has fulfilled its duty and must not be used for another. It is a long and tedious process; indeed, a Frenchman once told me he could not finish his toilet under an hour and a half; but in the long run he is as clean, if not cleaner than we are. It is, however, a terrible waste of time. In most French houses the tub has now, to the horror of all the more conservative French, become an institution; but there are many left where it is as well to be provided against emergencies. I was, some time ago, staying in Lower Brittany and asked the usual question. I was told I might go to the "Salle des Bains," 400 yards off. I was in a hurry and could not manage this, so had to put up with a large footpan. I was subsequently laughed at for my naive: "What, you expected a bath in Lower Brittany? But such things do not exist."—Saturday Review.
Bblnoceros Takes Drugs.
Fifteen New York veterinaries made the discovery recently that the dose of anaesthetic required to put a rhinoceros to sleep is a pound and three-quarters of chloroform and half a pound of ether.
This accession to veterinarian science was made during an operation to remove cataracts on the eyes of Mogul, the Indian rhinoceros in the Bronx Zoo. Mogul, after succumbing to more than half a gallon of anaesthetic, remained under its influence for an hour, and at the end of that time began to crouch hay as though nothing had happened.
Through a blow on the head in his native jungle Mogul nearly lost the sight of both eyes, and the operation was agreed upon after careful examination.
The big problem was to tell how much aneashtic it was safe to give. The hide of the pachyderm was so thick that no pulse was obtainable, and the stethoscope was useless. By means of a derrick and harness Mogul was thrown. A roll of cotton batting, stuffed in a cone of brown paper, was used to administer the anesthetic. Before the rhinoceros was put to sleep the fumes nearly overcame the doctors and keepers. The operation consumed half an hour.—New York Herald.
The Engineer Who Makes
The Engineer Who Makes Time.
"They do not run trains so fast in England, because the engineers know too much about their engines," said an engineer who has run an engine in that country. "In England a man has to be a competent machinist before he is allowed to run. They say that the man who knows all about how an engine is put together knows how delicate some of its parts are, knows how many dozen and one things there are liable to break at any minute, hasn't the nerve to run one of them eighty or ninety miles an hour. The best engineers are the ones who don't know too much about their engine—just know enough to locate the pounding in a cylinder box or how-to unhook her on one side if she breaks a driving rod or something that way. That's a theory at any rate, and I believe it is pretty nearly right."—Columbus Dispatch.

THE PULPIT.
AN ELCQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY
THE REV. J. E. ADAMS.
Brooklyn, N. Y.-In the Ross Street Presbyterian Church corner of Wilson street, the pastor, the Rev. John Erskine Adams, preached Sunday morning on "Man's Part in God's Plan." The text was from Romans 8:28: "And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good." Mr. Adams said:
The Apostle Paul has been called a fatalist. Perhaps, in late years, he has been the object of more discussion and criticism than any other New Testament writer. Preacher and pew allike have striven to undermine his system of theology. They have sought to avoid many of the fundamentals of his faith. They have told us that it is high time we should come into a larger conception of the ethics of Christ's life, and a lessening sense of the importance of His death. They say that much of His writings was for the Jew and couched in such figurative language that the Jew alone could understand and appreciate, and accordingly, He dwelt lengthen upon the typical and sacrificial rather than upon the practical and ethical. And in the chapter from which our text is taken we seem to have presented how he showed his predestination, a doctrine which by his accepted as synonymous with a fatalistic creed which eliminates man's free agency and subjects all things to an incontrovertible and changeless law of necessity. I wish to show you, if possible, to-day, how different was Paul's conception of our relation to God and God's relation to us.
Let us not doubt that Paul had absolute convictions that in all things God's will would be accomplished. But let-us not doubt, also, that he had absolute convictions that men must be co-workers with God in the out-workings of the divine plan. There was one occasion when he fully illustrates these truths. It is when, as a prisoner, he is being brought to Rome to stand before Caesar. This is the message of revelation to him. In this he sees the will of God. With this purpose he has nothing to do. He may not modify it nor change it. He resigns himself to it. He opposes and opposes him. It is God's will that he combs to Rome. He shipwreck threatens. The ship on which he is captive is overtaken with disaster. Fog, storm, darkness, danger, all seem to indicate the defeat of the divine plan. It seems as if all on board must be destroyed. And again, the divine will is manifest. Paul is assured of safety for himself and all on board that ship. But what does he do? Does he, in view of this assurance, make no effort to avoid the dangers and overcome the difficulties? Does he meekly resign himself and his shipmates to the inevitable? By no means. He becomes a co-operator with God in the fulfillment of His purpose. He heartens his on board ship. He heartsens his on board. He ensures them of safety; but of safety only as they use every precaution, as they overcome treachery; as they strive with all courage and persistence to save themselves and their ship. He says to the Centurion and the soldiers who had him in convey, when the fear-stricken seamen would have sought escape in a small boat: "Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved." In other words, he couples human endeavor, courage and skill with divine promise and protection. And so, deliverance is wrought. All things were to work together for good; but in that result one of the essential factors must be human courage and felicity. He must for all the world. That is certain. Nought we can do may prevent its shining. But it only shines for me as I open my eyes to receive its light. It is in my power to keep my eyes shut. It if will.
Paul declares in this chapter that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ; neither tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, sword, principalities, powers, things present, things to come; none of these things shall interfere with the keeping, saving power of God's love, in Christ. And yet, we hear him on another occasion fearing, lest, having preached to others as a minister of God's grace, he himself might be saved, he says; yet not he, but Christ in him; and still he is using all the powers of determination and will to keep his body under, to restrain it; to make it perfectly responsive to the control and ordering of God. To Paul, this life is a constant struggle; a warfare against principalities and powers, with wickedness enthroned; it is a race in which, if he would win, he must strain every nerve and stretch every muscle and lay aside every weight, and the sin will aside every bees; he must run with patience, with persistence, looking to Jesus. That gives us the idea exactly. Use all your own power, looking to Jesus, as your example, inspiration, stimulus and strength, the heart he Hebrews, and whether he did or another of the saints is immaterial, the principle is the same; he made out a list there of men and of women who were in God's keeping, and yet wrought, achieved, suffered, triumphed, through the exercise of dauntless courage and of splendid faith. And so we are led to say that Paul's conception of life was that of alliance with God. He was destined of divinity for high achievement. This is not pride, it is not egotism, save of the right sort. All great men have lived and achieved conception and in this thought. The men who have done things have known themselves as vult of God for achievement. They are in the divine plan; they are also agents in its carrying on and out. Under this impulse, David went forth from the sheep-fold to the sceptre. With the anointing oil of the prophet upon him he waged his battles against the Philistines and conquered. Under
this impulse, Savonarola achieved. Under this impulse John Knox wrought, defying throngs and devils. Lincoln and Washington were the men they were, and did the things they did because they were allied with God, and through their personality expressed the divine purpose and power. It was because of their certainty that God was above them and in them, and that right would triumph that they went steadily forward to accomplish the high mission of their lives. We are told by Plutarch that Julius Caesar, on a night of storm, crossing a channel in a light, open boat, quoted the alarm of the oarsmen who were with him by telling them: "Pluck up your courage; you carry Caesar." This great Roman believed in his destiny. A secret presentiment bade him believe that he was born for a notable career. He had power, he had resource, but above all, a profound belief in his star. The man who has not such a faith is to be pitted.
We all need such a vision. Without it we perish. Aspiration is inspiration. Let us not be deterred from building our castles, though they are in the air. Perchance God will help us lay the foundations under them and make them real and strong and permanent. The man who lives in my room, the man I can, is the man who has confidence in himself to do something that no one else can do, and that otherwise will remain undone.
How wonderfully God holds terrific energies in leash and under control subject to the gradual outworking of His perfect idea for the children of men. In the realm of nature all things work together for good. The sun, which has in it heat, sufficient to consume our little world in a fragment of time, nurses to a fuller life by its gentle care the tender lily and the modest violin. It touches them and evokes their delicate aroma; it puts the roses into the cheek of the child and the long into the throat of the nightingale as it soars and sings to the clouds. It is true that so well do we understand the constructive forces of nature, that it furnishes but a tite subject for our consideration. But underneath all physical manifestations and phenomena, let us believe there is moral purpose. Nature is God's great temple in which His voice is heard. It was through natural's sublimity that David realigned man's dignity. Above all nature, next to God, stands. And for him all physical forces are in harmony and work together for his good. And as with nature, so in history. As in the roaring of the seas and the clash of the elements the atmosphere we breathe is cleansed and we enter into more vigorous life. So the wars, which seemingly spell ruin; the crumbling of nations, which spells corruption; through all storm and revolution, through shock and tempest. God is leading the sons of men out into larger life, and bringing on the brighter and better day.
And, finally, human experience testifies to the same truth. We are told that on one occasion Napoleon was shut up in an island of the Danube, hemmed in by the Archduke Charles. He was able to maintain himself there, but he sent word to Italy and Spain and France, and he ordered his marshal with such minuteness that every day's march was perfect. All over the north of France, and from the extreme south of Spain and Portugal the corps were, all the time, advancing, and by day by day coming nearer and nearer. Not one of them, on the march, had any idea what was the final purpose, and why they were being ordered to the central point. But on the day the master appointed the head of the columns appeared in every direction. Then it was that he was able to break forth from his bondage and roll back the tide of war. How like our life, as it moves on, to the command of the Master. Its forces seem confused to us, with and cohesion, oftimes antagonism, Joy and sorrow, heartache, prosperity and heartache—all march in their appointed paths and to their appointed friends. But at last we shall be behind them all the one will and the one power, and we shall be able to say on the day of final emancipation and victory, as said Joseph of old. God meant it unto good, to bring it to pass.
So, let us go forth, renewing our courage as we renew our confidence that to them that love God all things work together for good.
Advanced Thought.
He cannot justly be charged with illiberality who "adheres to that which is good" until a better is provided. A starving man who casts away a loaf of bread because he imagines a ten-course dinner ahead even an agnostic would account a fool. Why give up our Christian faith, which has proved so good, so long as only the vague and ghostly chimera of "advanced thought" is proposed to take its place? Some of us know that faith in Christ is a very real and precious and joyous possession, a comfort in sorrow, a help in trouble, a spur to higher living, a source of assured hope for the life beyond; what has science, or human philosophy, or any of the thousand and one vagaries of "free thought" to offer in its stead? A joyless life, a rayless future, a quenched soul—Nirrana!—The Examiner.
How Character Is Made.
How Character is made.
One of the chief dangers of life is trusting occasions. We think that conspicuous events, striking experiences, exalted moments have most to do with our character and capacity. We are wrong. Common days, monotonous hours, wearisome paths, plain old tools and everyday clothes tell the real story. Good habits are not made on birthdays, nor Christian character at the new year. The vision may dawn, the dream may waken, the heart may leap with a new inspiration on some mountain top but the test, the triumph, is at the foot of the mountain on the level plain.

This district will put forth a strong Republican candidate for Congress. Every Republican must become qualified in order to make the vote a big one.
THOSE of our voters who are turning to the Democrats will be like the calf who followed the bull, instead of its mother. The difference will be found out when night comes.
THE legislature has touched the money sharks in a tender spot. Hereafter they will not be able to charge more than five per cent. per month. This will help our people to a great extent. They are great borrowers, and in doing so, undue advantage is generally taken of them. Do away with the money sharks and our people will ve that much better off.
Negro Office Holders
Once in a while from a few we hear considerable objections to Negro office-holders. The race as a whole is rightly proud of its representatives iff the National Government. Those who make the noise in the most part are simply jealous of our men who are succeeding in high official positions, and these noise-makers should be ashamed of themselves. The Catholics have a representative in the President's cabinet. the Jews have a representative in the President's cabinet; Germans are holding high official positions in many parts of the Government. There is a man with much Indian blood in his veins in the United States Senate, but we do not hear of the Catholics, the Jews, the Germans or the Indians abusing these men simply because they hold office. The same class of people who grow blue in the face because Negroes hold office, would condemn the President more severely than they do if he did not appoint Negroes to office. They cannot find cause to criti-
They cannot flud cause to criticise President Roosevelt because he has failed to appoint Negroes; their only point is to criticise him because he does appoint them. Any race or group of people ought to feel proud to have one of its representatives holding such a position as Register of the Treasury, Auditor of the Navy, or a judgeship, to say nothing of the many other equally responsible and important positions.—New York Age.

Ministers Union
The Evangelical Ministers Union met in St Philip A M E Church at 11 a m with Dr J A Lindsay in chair. Divine service was conducted by Rev J S Jenkins. The 218 hymn was sung, after having prayer the 116 Psalm were read for the lesson. The Union chanted "Just as I am without one plea." Sermonic reports were given by Rev B S Hannah which was very helpful. Commendations were offered by Dr W O P Sherman-Revs, P W Greatheart, A P Gillard, W T Moore, G H Lennon, J S Jenkins, R H Robinson, R Plerce and the president. The Union was blessed to have present a distinguisht visitor in the person of the Rt. Rey, M B Salter, Bishop of the A M E Church of Florida. Dr Lindsay arose and with choice language introduced the Bishop who gave the Union a theological moral and intellectual address. The Bishop spoke of 59 years in the church of God, 44 years in the christian ministry and 17 years Bishopry. He closed with saying, that young ministers must be good, strong, educated and christian gentle men. By motion a vote of thanks were tendered the good Bishop. Visiting min-
isters present were Revs: Thomas Jefferson and B D Jackson. Rev. D W Cannon, pastor of Beth-Eden Baptist Church of this city was introduced. He said the Bishop lifte him up and gave him new aspiration t go forward. Rev. Jenkins were appointed to prepare a paper on Calin and Able offering for next Tuesday. All ministers of this city is invited. Visitors always welcome.

J. H.

He was a graduate of Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn. At the age of fourteen years he embraced religion and became a member of M. Z on Baptist Church of which his father was then pastor. His first pastoral work was in Clarksville Tenn., after which he was called to Leabonville, Ohio, and spent two years there. Previous to this time he married Miss Henrietta Ramey of Wilmington, Ohio. Later he accepted a call in Washington, Ohio, where he spent a number of years. He pastored his Independence, Mo., after which he was called to San Antonio, Texas, where he filled popular places. He was connected there with Seguen College. From there he went to Indianapolis, Indiana, to pastor the Second Baptist Church where he spent sixteen years of hard labor, increasing the church's membership from sixty five to three thousand and building from an old skating rink one of the most beautiful churches in the state. In May 1901 he was then called to the pastorate of the F. A. B. Church of Savannah, Ga., one of the largest and most historical churches in America with its membership of over five thousand. He successfully pastored this church up to the time of his death August 26th 1907. During his pastorate hundreds of souls were added to the church and edifice made beautiful at a cost of nearly four thousand dollars. A beautiful parsonage was also purchased at a cost of four thousand dollars. He was a life member of the National Baptist Convention, and chairman of the Executive Board of the Mt Olive Baptist Association, also chairman of the Board of Trustees Central City College, Macon, Ga.

He also were reelected as moderator os the association, Deacon Powells, J H Moultrie, Mrs. C D Sims, and Mrs. M L Sharpe were the dieges sent to represent St Johns Baptist Church. Mrs Sharpe made her report on last Thursday night from the association. The report was very good and appreciated. Mrs. C D Sims were made vice president of the Ladies Auxiliary Board. On last Sunday morning quite an attractive audience was out to hear the sermon of Rev. W M Gray. At 4 p m Sunday school convened and quite a large attendance weae out. At 8 p m Rey. Gray preached from the 11 chapter of Matthews and 28th verse. The sermon was quite interesting and every one seemed to have enjoy it. The deacons gave an entertainment on Monday night in the basement of the church. Quite an enjoyable literary program was carried out. Mrs A E Robinson and Mr. J E Johnson sang a duet which was quite affective. On Thursday night the memorial services of Sister Eva Blue was carried out.

Happenings at Bethel.
The pastor Rev. B. S, Hannah returned from Woodbine, Brunswick and Hinesville on Saturday. Sunday was a high day. The good members came to the house of God to hear more of the tidings of Jesus. The age rally for the trustee came off and quite a number of the members and some friends gave one cent for each year they had lived but my so few people get old. We are glad to say the rally was fairly well. The people labored at 11 a.m., to show the people that we are debtors to God for his innumerable blessings. The Sunday school and the A C. E. League was well attended. At 8:30 p.m., the pastor labored to show the danger of allowing envy to enterour hearts. On Monday night stewardess board No. 2 gave a water melon cutting.

Each member is to pay $5.00 and upward. We invite our sister churches and Deacons Union to come out and help us. Dr. Moss will preach.
Bishop Salter at St. Philip
A. M. E. Church.
Bishop M. B. Salter, D. D., preached at 11 o'clock on Sunday morning to one of the most representative gatherings regardless of denominations that have been in St Philip for some time. After the decalogue services the choir sung hymn 331 "Must Jesus bear the cross alone." His text were the 84th Psalm 11 verse subject, "God's Protection." All that were fortunate to hear this great man of God could not refrain from saying, did not our hearts burn within us while he preached on the wayside this beautiful passage of scripture on the life of David and how God used him was portrayed in this great sermon. As a whole this was a plain and practicle sermon and everybody was elated over what they had heard. Bishop Salter attended Sunday school and gave quite an interesting talk to the children and words of encouragement were given to the teachers and officers. Mrs. balter the beloved wife of the Bishop gave an interesting talk to the ladies at 6 p.m. Rev. Lindsay is always ready to give to his hearers something to feed their souls on. He preached at 8:30 p. m. The members of St. Philip were highly honored by having Bishop Salter as their guest. The good Bishop enjoyed his stay very much. After services on Sunday morning spoke very highly and in glowing terms of the progress made by the colored people of Sayannah since his last visit here, especially of the Wage Earners Bank and the Savannah Shoe Company. The ladies of the Missionary Society gave an entertainment in the ladies exchange on Tuesday and Thursday nights which was very successful. Dr. Lee, President of Morris Brown College is expected to he at St. Phillip on tomorrow.

Second Baptist Church.
Death has saddened the ranks here again. Rev. May attended five funerals this week; two were prominent members of this church. The funeral of deacon Wm. A. Houston (24 years a deacon here) was attended Sunday afternoon directly after communion services. The largest crowd for years witnessed this old saint's funeral Revs. H. Maxwell and J. H. Regers assisted the pastor. Monday at 5 o'clock p. m. the funeral of Miss Essie D. Anderson was attended here Rev. Reddof the Presbyterian Church, this city and Rev. W. L.

Memorial Services at F. A. B. Church, Franklin Square.
What promises to be a day of pathos, remembrance and fidelity, will be demons rated on Sunday August 30th, 1908, at the First African Baptist Church, Franklin Square, by its host of members and friends in paying a glowing tribute to the memory of their late pastor Rev J. W. Carr, D. D. who was called to the pastorate of this time honored and historic church May 18th 1901 and after a well fought battle, holding fast to the rein of pastorate, handed down to him from his predecessors, with no less valor; conquering, as it were, the opposing powers of sin through his wonderful personality as an evangelist and gospel minister and leading the church on to success, he stuck his sword in the golden sand of time and laid his arm down Monday August 26th, 1907 at noonday to answer the call of the Supreme Commander, who commissioned him. The mourning has been draped in deep mourning since his death to the present day. Besides the death of Dr. Carr, several of the chairs along side of the pulpit, where valliant and stalwart dacons sat, such as Deacons R. H. Hooks and D. J. Boston, a seat here and there in the aisles where faithful Christian members sat, a chair in the pulpit where the venerable and sainted Rev, W. G. Clarke sat giving his time and service by assisting two successive pastors are made vacant by the visitation of the monster death during the past few years. Truly our afflictions have been great, yet while we mourn our loss, we bow our heads in submission and say as did Job, "The Lord giveth and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord," Following this memorial event, the church will immediately remove its mourning drapery but will ever keep the memory of their fallen heroes green, and will no doubt in the near future proceed to call another shepherd. "A cordial invitation is extended the ministers of Georgia and other states to witness this memorial also our friends of sister churches, etc. The following program will be rendered:
-

Amazing Progress In the Higher Branches of the Ci2i-inal Art Is Shown
by the Elaborate Cleverness of the Ruse Used to Separate a
Pennsylvania Hotelkeeper From His Hard-earned Wealth.
: £
Some progress in the higher branches of ¢riminal art fs argucd
by the following narrative of how a Pennsylvania hotel keeper was led
to part with $15,000 of his hard earncd wealt): under the delusion that
he was betting it on a prize fight gotten up for the amusement of a
party of Chicago and Philadelphia millionaires. Of course the fight
was arranged solely for the benefit of the hotel keeper. The “million-
aires” are represented in the Rogues’ Gallery.
‘The elaborate cleverness of this swindle also argues that the coun-
try is getting educated. A novelist and thousands of newspaper re-
porters have explained again and again the trick of the “wiretappers,”
which has trapped many a man that would not havo bet a dollar on'a
straight Lorse race. Gold bricks are seldom sold nonadays, and the
green goods game appears to be so generally known by this time that
a confidence man is driven to bis wits’ end for devicesto part the come-
on from his hoard. One tannot help thinking that the same amount of
ingenuity expended on nominally legitimate schemes for getting some-
thing for nothing or directed inty absolutely honest effort would have
paid the inventors of the fake prize fizht much more handsomely than
their originality in crime did rerrard them.
New York City.—Swindling opera-
tions which have netted more than
$1,000,000 a year. for the last three
years xwill be revealed, the police be-
iteve, through the capture of Freder-
ick Gondorf.
Gondor “wes arrested on tho
charge of having swindled Frederick
Holznagel, a Scranton hotel proprie-
tor, out of $15,000 on a fake prize
fight, and it fs sald the evidence will
implicate him in the robbing of WIII-
jam F. Walker, who looted the New
Britain Savings Bank of more than
$500,000,
At’ the examination In the Tombs
Court every effort will be made to
have Gondorff held on the complaint
of Holznagel, in order to give the de-
tectives an opportunity to locate the
band of swindlers, Although using
Holenagel’s charge to hold Gondorf,
the detectives of the Central Office
are after much bigger game, in the
shape of boridy, valued at $120,000,
which were part of the loot stolen by
Walker from the New Britain bank.
‘These bonds, consisting of $49,000
of Chicago and Eastern Iilfnols Rail-
Toad securities, $35,000 of Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul bonds, $15.-
000° Rochester and Pittsburg bonds
and a number of other smaller par-
cels, have never been disposed of.
and’ it {4 declared that they are stili
in the possession of the members of
the swindling band to which Gondorft
4s suspected of belonging.
Band Ha:l Immense Resources.
The immense resources of this band
4s Mustrated by the story of Holzna-
56], who declares that, while they
Were duping him, they made a flash
of $230,000. He says that this was
4m genuine ‘currency and not stage
money, as he personally handled the
cash, and declares that It would have
been imposslble to deceive him.
According to Holznagel the swind-
Jers pursued the same tactics with
him as they did with Walker, with
the exception that-they used the prize
fight game, instead of the wire tap-
ping scheme. One of the band, who
went by the name of Webber, stopped
at Holznagel’s hotel in Scranton and
falned the bonitace's confidence by a
fexitimate business proposition.
‘Webber represented himself as a
Vond salesman. Holznagel {s inter-
ested In some coal Innds in Tennes-
see which he fs anxious to sell. On
learning this, Webber told Holznagel
tht he knew some millfonalres who
were also interested In coal lands,
and that he might be able to dispose
of Holznagel’s holdings.
The specific millionaires mentioned
were the Cudahys, of Chicazo. Web-
ver, after some correspondence. ar-
ranged a meeting with “Mr. Cuda-
hy’s secretary,” by the name of
“Blair.” It Was while the business
of disposing of the voal property was
being discussed that the swindling
game was broached. Blair sald that
ils employers were “sporty,” and

Chicago.—Is Evanston the unt-
versity suburb, destined to become
gn Adamless Eden? ‘The question
‘was presented with great force to the
authorities of the. suburb when the
census takers completed the aaual
scheol census of the city.
‘The new census stows a surplus of
almost 2000 wamen in 2 population
of less than 25,000. ‘There are 13,-
837 women and 10,896 men in the
city, a total of 24,673, and a major-
ity of 2971 for ibe women.
that they had a prize fighter by the
name of Sullivan whom they were
willing to back for any amount. Blair
sald they were in Bridgeport, Conn.,
and that Sullivan was with them. He
then unfolded a scheme by which
he and Holznagel were to win $20.-
000 from. the “Cudabys.” "He
sald that hé knew a prize Sghter in
Boston, Collins by name, who could
defeat ‘Sullivan. Holznagel_ agreed
that it was an easy way to get money
and the prize fight was arranged.
Holanagel put up $6000 as bis por-
tion of the bet. Blalr furnished the
other $15,000. ‘The “Cudahys””
backed Sullivan for $20,000. The
fight was pulled off in the Bridgeport
Fal Grounds. Of course Collins
font, but Blair declared {t was on a
fluke, apd begged Holznagel to back
him for another fight, 3
Got $10,000 More.
| The “Cudahys” offered to bet three
to one on the second fight, and Holz-
nagel hurried to Scranton to secure
more money. He returned with $10,-
000, which he put up on Collins, and
again ho lost. It was at this ‘fight
that $230,000 was bet, Blair ostensf>
bly making wagers ‘amounting to
$75,000.
After the fight the ‘“Cndabys”
turned the money over to Blair, thelr
secretary, telling him to deposit it
and send checks to the winner. Blair
then made a proposition to Holznagel
that they run away with the money.
He told Holznagel to go to Albany,
to the Ten Eyck, where he would
meet him and divide. Holznagel
went, but Blair falled to meet him,
and ‘Holznagel came to New York
and consulted Lawyer John M. Cole-
man, of No. 115 Broadway, whé laid
‘the matter before District’ Attorney
Jerome. Holznagel was taken to the
Rogue’s Gallery, where he identified
the pictures of Frederick Gondorit
and James Morga», allas Deaty Mor-
riz, as the two men who rosed as the
Cudahys. ‘The arrest of Gondorft
followed, and he was {dentified by
Holznagel as one of the band:
The arrest. of Gondorft immediate-
dy led the police to connect the men
of the band with the Walker swind-
lers. Hs brother, Charles Gondorff,
was arrested shortly after Walker's
flighf, and was charged with having
Veen "a party to the swindle, which
looted thé New Britain Bank. Charles
Gondorff was held for trial and after-
ward was reieased on §25,000 bail,
furalshed by “Bob” Nelson. He is
now running a gambling house in At-
lantie City.
Walker, however, refused to fmpli-
cate any one In his stealing, He said
that he did not remember the names
of the men who swindled him, His
taciturnity destroyed the Jast hope
the Pinkert6ns had of recovering the
money. Frederick Gondorft’s arrest,
however, hiss changed the prospect,
and it is now belfeved that the $120,-
000 in bonds may be recovered.

Dustless Mocds Coming. ”
Dastless thoroughfares would, of
course, promote the comfort of arban,
Suburban and raral life, Up to the
présent day of the motorcar, roads
made of broken stone have solved
best the dust problem. Rock ‘dust
crushed under fron-tired- wheels {s
packed firmly into the broken rock,
‘binding {t smoothly and compactly.
John Louden Macadam, of Ayr, Scot-
land, perfected the method and gave
‘his name to a process. But motor-
cars, with the propelling force of
thelr broad, soft-tired wheels, are
now at work all over the world ‘tear-
ing Macadam's paverients to pieces.
They crush no rock, they hurl the
surface dust “binder” {nto nelghbor-
ing fields, and they revel and loosen
‘the roads. Clearly, if civilization
is to maintain {ts advances it must
find a new way of laying the dust,
cr of making its road surfacings co-
hesive.
Highway Commissloner MacDon-
ald, of Connecticut, chose dry, clear
days in the hot season last year to
build rock roads about the State
Capitol in Hartford, flooding them
with a combination of pitch and coal
tar, and rolling into this composition
a top dressing of trap rock splinters.
The French engineers who had al-
ready concluded-that coal tar fs the
best means of making roads with-
stand the wear of automoblle traffic,
have asked Mr. MacDonald to tell the
International Road Congress Ip Paris
next fall why his roads in Hartford
are to-day apparently {n as good con-
dition as wheff Iafd. Boston will try
the new method, and Highway Com-
missioners in other States are about
to put it im practice. 7
Dust Ss controlled {n the fruit belts
of Callfornta by spraying with olls
possessing asphaltic bases. Drench-
ings with calelum chloride have also
been found temporarily effective.
‘The Office of Public Roads at Wash-
ington fs investigating the problem;
and has ordered many erperiments.
Prizes are offered by the Paris: Con-
gress for sclentifle road surfacings,
and inventors in many countries are
striving for these prizes. When an
adequate surfacing 1s found, one
that makes no dust and needs no
dust to preserve fts Integrity, It will
have achleved more than {ts primary
purpose. It will ward off disease
from millions of clvilized nostrils and
beautify and make more valuable
property worth countless millions of
dollars, that abuts the world’s high-
ways.—New York Times.
Keeps to the Front.
And still the subject of good roads
keeps on coming to the'front, first In
one district and then in another, yet
Alabama appears to be leading in the
general demands that are appearing
for good roads in the South. ‘The
Gadsden Eyening Journal has this
editorial on the subject:
Let us not forget that the matter
‘of good roads {s one of supreme im-
portance. We went to make the far-
mers prosperous becauso it will add
to the prosperity of the city, And to
have the Etowah County farmer’ get
what fs coming to him he needs good
roads and a ready market for his
produce, Anything raised on the
farm should find a ready sale in any
quantity and for the cash. This can
only be done by providing a market
through shipment to consuming cen-
tres, A packing and shipping plant
that will take all farm products as
cotton is taken now and pay cash to
the farmer upon delivery of the stuff
would prove a remarkable factor in
securing better times among those
who toll on the farms. It would put
money {nto circulation at all times
and allow the farmer to transact hfs
business on a cash basis. And tals
would be real prosperity. So let us
strive for good roads and a cash
market,

offered a fervent prayer, invoking the
divine blessing upon them. .As they
seemed to be worthy folk and not
overburdened with this world’s goods
he prayed, smong other things, for
materia prosperity, and besought tho
Lord to greatly increase the man’s
business, laying much stress on this
point.
In filling out the blanks {t became
necessary to ask the man his business,

According to the official clock of the house, which had been stopped, it was only 8:23 p. m., while that in the senate pointed to 9:50. This was made necessary by the law, which makes the legislature adjourn by midnight of the fiftieth day. During the closing hours of the session of the general assembly the officials of both houses were handsome remembered with testimonials from the members of the legislature.
IN THE HOUSE.
August 12.
The house adopted resolutions lamenting the death of former members Wednesday morning. The governor's message, stating that an extra session of the general assembly would be called was read. After a lengthy and heated debate the house passed the bill which makes the registration laws of the state more stringent.
Two important senate measures were passed by the house at the afternoon session and with the signature of the governor will become laws in Georgia.
The first extends the present school book contract, which expires January 1, 1908, to January 1, 1911.
The other is a primary measure which fixes the date of state primaries at some date not sooner than 60 days before the general election in October.
The first means that there will be no school book war in the fall, with its consequent fluctuations in bids and change. In textbooks.
The second means that there will be no more primaries on June 4.
Another important action taken was that of tabling the resolution which sought, to set as a special order the senate measure which gives the right of eminent domain to water powers.
In addition the following bills were passed at the afternoon session: By Senator Bush of the Eighth, to amend the charter of the town of Colquitt; by Senator Dobbs of the Twenty-fifth, to repeal act incorporating the town of Edgewood in DeKalb vounty, to extend the limits of the city of Atlanta, to repeal act incorporating the town of Battle Hill in Fulton county; by Senator Hawes of the Thirtieth, to incorporate the city of Union City in Campbell-county.
The first bill passed by the house at the night session had already been passed by the senate, and will soon become a law.
It punishes as a misdemeanor any person who puts a carcass in a road, running stream or property of another without burying it-deep enough to destroy all stench.
This measures, which provides that one-third of the wages of 75 cents a day or over of journeymen mechanics and, day laborers, not now subject to garnishment, may be, after the passage of this act, was tabled after a heated debate.
Following this the famous fight over establishing a secondary national guard for Georgia, to be known as the Georgia Volunteers, which organization is to do home guard duty in the event of the regular national guard being called out of the state by the president of the United States, took place and was passed.
The bill by Senator Dean of the fifth district, to allow street car companies to make, manufacture and sell gas, was defeated. The house passed, then, the bills by Senator Felder of the twenty-second, to quit the titles to real estate in Georgia under foreign wills, and that by Senator Overstreet, to provide for county advertising in Tattnall county. Cuthbert continues to suffer from not having residences sufficient for those, who desire to move there. The demand for residences is much in excess of the supply, notwithstanding the fact that quite a number have been built and several are in course of construction. The state board of arbitration has placed the valuation of the Atlanta and West Point railway at $3,163,712. The West-Point returned its property at approximately $2,300,000, and the controller, declining the return, made an assessment of $3,800,000.
The following bills were passed by the house at the night session: By Senator Felder of the Twenty-second District, to quit the title to real estate in Georgia held under foreign wills; by Senator Overstreet of the Seventeen District, to fix the advertising of official notices in Tatnall county; by Mr. Cander of DeKalb, to supplement and increase the appropriations for the railroad commission; by Mr. McMahan of Clarke, to pay Mrs. G. Houser, the per diem for this session of the legislature that would have been earned by G. Houser, former doorkeeper of the house; by Messrs. Taylor and Martin, to more thoroughly carry out the provisions of the pure food act; by Messrs. Blackburn and Bell of Fulton, to appropriate $5,000 to the confederate soldiers' home of Georgia; by Mr. Barrett of Stephens, to provide how and in which pensions due confederate veterans shall be paid; by Mr. Barrett of Stephens, to amend an act to make appropriations for the ordinary expenses of the executive, legislature and judicial departments of the government; by Senator Gordy of the Twenty-fourth, to fix the age for road duty in Muscogee county; by Senator Camp of the Thirty-first, to authorize the governor to take options on terminal sites in Chattanooga.
IN THE SENATE.
August 12.
Most of the session of the senate Wednesday morning was devoted to a discussion of a bill to appropriate $25,000 for the fiscal year 1908 and $50,000 for the fiscal year 1909, to the University of Georgia for the support and maintenance of the State Agricultural college at Athens. After much discussion the senate voted these appropriations in addition to the sum of $30,000 for expenses of that institution up to June 1 of this present year. Under amendments, $5,000 was also appropriated for the erection of certain buildings at the experiment station at Experiment, Ga., the necessity of which was earnestly urged by Senator Flynt. Five thousand dollars for the year 1908 and $5,000 for 1909 was voted for the carrying out of experiments in connection with the preserving of sugar cane syrups at the state branch experimental station at Waycross.
The governor's message was read and the senate agreed to let the convict bill await the extra session. The afternoon session of the senate was given over to the passage of appropriation bills. These bills having already been passed by the house need only the governor's signature to become laws.
The following bills were passed at the afternoon session; By Mr. Foster of Cobb, to appropriate $5,000 to improve the confederate cemetery at Marietta; by Mr. Davison of Greene, to pay Mrs. L. H. Ledsinger for copying rolls in the pension office; by Mr. Davison of Harris, to pay pension to Mrs. Nancy M. Collier for the year 1908; by Mr. McMahan of Clarke, to appropriate $7,000 to the trustees of the University of Georgia for the support of the State Normal School at Athens; by Mr. Hines of Baldwin, to appropriate the sum of $7,671.76 for the Georgia Normal and Industrial College at Milledgeville to supply a deficiency in the appropriation of said college for the year 1908; by Mr. Hines of Baldwin, to appropriate the sum of $15,000 for the year 1908 and $30,000 for the year 1909 for the support and maintenance of the Georgia State Sanitarium for the insane; by Mr. Jones of Mitchell, to authorize the payment of pension due Mrs. Queen Shiver for the year 1908; by Mr. Williams of Dodge, to incorporate the town of Leon; by Mr. Ward of Coffee, to repeal an act incorporating the town of Buchanan; by Messrs. Chamlee, Dean and Wright of $^{6}$ Floyd, to amend an act creating the city court of Floyd county; by Mr. Pope of Brooks, to incorporate the town of Dixle; by Mr. White of Madison, to establish the city court of Danielsville; by Mr. White of Madison, to abolish the city court of Madison county; by Messrs. Alexander and Candler of DeKalh, to amend the charter of Kirkwood; by Mr. Cook of
More than 250 Masons from Heard, Douglas, Haralson, Paulding and Carroll were present to participate in the exercises of the Carroll County Masonic convention at Carrollton. Officers were elected as follows: J. D. Hamrick, worshipful master; J. A. F. Broom, senior warden; James Beal, junior warden; R. F. Hyatt, secretary and treasurer.
Moving has been finished and the postoffice at Macon is now in the new federal building. The Macon office now boasts of one of the prettiest homes in the state.

Matthews and Clarke of Lowndes, to amend an act to create a board of commissioners of roads and revenues in the county of Lowndes; by Mr. Adams of Chatham, to authorize the municipal authorities of certain cities to provide for municipal prisons; by Mr. White of Madison, to incorporate the city of Danielsville.
At the night session of the senate the Foster pension bill, which, it is estimated, will add $1,000,000 annually to the budget of the state, was passed. This bill involves a constitutional amendment and must be submitted to the people, for ratification, before it becomes effective.
The bill by Representatives Slater and Dykes, providing that telegraph companies must put the date and time of receiving messages on the messages, and fixing a penalty of $25 for failure to deliver within a reasonable length of time, was passed.
A number of local and pension bills were also passed. Authority was given for policemen and firemen to ride free on street railroads.
While the senate was waiting for the report of the confreres on the agricultural bill, the members improved the time by singing, more or less musically, such plous selections as "Jesus Lover of My Soul," "Nearer, My God, to Thee," and finally, "The Old Time Religion."
The sale of near beer may be continued in Georgia unhindered by any tax by the state.
By the narrow margin of two votes the senate failed to provide a tax of from $200 to $300 on dealers, manufacturers and warehousemen engaged in producing and dispensing that nonintoxicating beverage commonly called almost beer.
The following bills were passed at the night session; by Mr. Hines of Baldwin, to pay Mrs. O. M.

THROUGHOUT THE STATE
Hon. J. A. Bagwell, former county school commissioner of Gwinnett county and editor of The Gwinnett Journal, has sold his newspaper plant to J. C. Flanigan of Lawrenceville. F. E. Purse, a representative of a Rome publishing house, attempted suicide at Jacksonville, Florida by cutting the arteries in his wrists. He will recover. Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, has been appointed a member of the newspaper advertising committee of the democratic national campaign committee. The Jasper County Masonic Association gave their annual barbecue in the Jordan grove, near the city limits. The orator or the occasion was Grand Master Jeffries, and the auditorium of the court house was filled to its utmost capacity.
The ten year old son of Jackson Newsome of Mitchell fell from a tree in which he had climbed and impaled on a snag on which his body struck near the center. Medical attention was given and it is thought the bay will recover.
Mayor A. L. Miller of Macon came very near bringing down a shower of ill-feeling upon his head from Italians who reside in Macon because he happened to use the term "dago" while presiding in recorder's court. In rebuke a prisoner, the mayor inadvertently made use of the expresslof with malice toward none.
A lodge of Woodmen of the World was organized in Eatonton with the following officers: James C. Griffith, C. C.; E. J. Wilson, adv. lieutenant; W. S. Tomlinson, banker; Caril Grimm, escort; I. F. Griffith, watch; H. E. Wilson, sentry; W. B. Moore, examiner; J. W. Robertson, clerk.
The shippers of Georgia have filed a complaint with the interstate commerce commission against the proposed increase of freight rates in the southeastern territory.
Lightning struck the barn of A. M. Griffin at Buchanan, killing two horses, Mr. Griffin's two little boys were in the barn at the time and both were severely burned. It is feared the younger boy will lose his eyesight as a result of the shock.
Captain J. A. Stafford, the original peach man of Barnesville, is now preparing for the gathering and shipping of his crop of Kefler pears, which will amount to about ten cars. It is another illustration of the varied opportunities offered for profitable employment in Georgia.
The HOUSE and HOME
Baked Rimbarb Pudding.
Make a suet crust with three-quarters of a pound of flour, six ounces of suet, half a teaspoonful of salt and a little cold water. Roll it out thin. Wash and cut up in small pieces two large bundles of rhubarb. Line a buttered mold with the crust, fill it up with the rhubarb, sprinkling sugar through it or sweeten nicely and cover with a layer of the crust. Pinch the edges well together, perforate the top in a neat pattern with a fork, and bake in a hot oven for one hour. Turn out and serve hot with cream and sugar.—The Housekeeper.
Almond Wafers.
Beat to a cream a quarter cup of butter, then rub in one-half cupful powdered sugar. Add, drop by drop, a quarter cupful of milk, then, gradually, seven-eighths cup of sifted flour. Flavor with a half teaspoonful of vanilla or pistache, and spread very thinly over the bottom of an inverted dripping pan and cut in three-inch squares. Sprinkle with chopped blanched almonds and brown delicately in a very slow oven. Take from the oven, turn the squares over one by one with a knife and roll loosely. Take up and spread on a waxed paper to cool and dry. If the squares harden before you get them 'all rolled place over the fire a moment to soften. Serve with cocoa, afternoon tea, ice cream or preserves—New York Tribune.
Baked Potatoes.
Select oval potatoes having a smooth, unmarked skin, and of uniform size. Scrub until perfectly clean, then rinse and drain. Put in an old baking tin, kept for this purpose, or on the clean oven grate and bake in a hot oven. Forty minutes is about the time required for the baking. Serve as soon as done. Sweet potatoes should be boiled until almost tender, before baking, then put in the oven to finish. To test whether potatoes are done, press with a cloth. Cold baked potatoes may be warmed up so as to be almost as fresh ones, if they are dipped in hot water, then put into the oven and allowed to remain just long enough to get perfectly hot but not long-enough to harden. Contrary to general opinion, cold baked potatoes may be creamed or fried quite as satisfactorily as the boiled ones:—New York Telegram.
Creole Dapubè
A recipe prized by the Creole cooks of New Orleans and seldom divulged by them is for a dish called danube. The materials required are four pounds best cut of round of beef, one-half can of tomatoes or three small ones, cut fine; one onion, minced; one small red pepper, three cloves, three peppercorns, one tablespoonful hard. Score the meat top and bottom and dredge with flour. Melt the lard in pot in which meat is to be cooked and brown the meat to it. Cover the top of meat with tomatoes and onions. Add the spices, cover closely and cook slowly on back of range four hours, turning meat at end of two hours. Strain the liquor, thicken with browned flour and serve the danube with gravy poured over it. This makes a delicious dish of a cheap cut of meat.—New York World.
HINTS FOR THE HOUSEKEEPER
A rug that twists can be flattened by damping the edge and pressing it on the floor with a hot iron.
Men's worn linen collars, cut into narrow strips, furnish convenient substitutes for the wax tapers used in gas lighters.
A bit of raw onion will remove fly specks from gliding. White spots on a varnished surface will disappear if a hot flatiron is held over the place for a minute.
The globe on gas fixtures and lamps should not be screwed on too tightly, as the heat, when the light is burning, will expand the glass, for which sufficient allowance should be made.
To save continual stooping to turn down rug corners sew a piece of stiff canvas, buckram or haircloth to the under side. These pieces may go just across the corners or can be sewed entirely across the end.
It is well to have hanging close beside the refrigerator a long, slender rod, on which is fastened a sponge or rag. This can be run down the drain pipe every two or three days, and is of great assistance in keeping it clean.
According to a dealer most of the fashionable country houses have the majority of sleeping rooms done in cretonnes, and the leaning this season is toward gay colors, the walls corresponding in this respect with the furniture.
To clean brass pans, rub them with powdered bath brick moistened with vinegar. Afterward wash them, and when dry polish with a little whiting on a leather or soft cloth.
Parsley can be kept for winter use in soups and sauces by plunging fresh bunches of it into slightly salted boiling water and boiling for three minutes. At the end of that time it should be removed and dried quickly by the fire.
