MILLIONS TAKEN FROM BANKS. Former Danish Minister of Justice Jailed for Theft. Copenhagen, Denmark.—M. Aluberti, the former minister of justice, surrendered to the police and confessed to a series of frauds against the Bondestandens Sparkasse, a savings bank, of which he was president. The exact amount involved through Aluberti's fraudulent operations and embezlement has not been ascertained, but will be several millions of dollars, the Danish Farmers' Butter Export Association alone suffering a loss of $1,500,000, while widespread ruin has been caused among thousands of peasants from whom the former minister of justice derived his power. The minister of finance even now is considering the advisability of the state assisting the ruined depositors. According to Aluberti's own story, he began falsifying the accounts of the bank in 1894, seven years before he was appointed minister of justice. The bulk of the money and his own fortune were lost, he says, through speculation in various American gold mines. Aluberti and his friends said he was being sacrificed by higher circles because of his love for the peasantry. The confession of wrong-doing made by the minister himself was well calculated, therefore, to cause a great shock to those who had believed so implicitly in him. WOULD INCREASE THE ARMY. President Will Recommend Force of 100,000 Men—His Reasons. Washington, D. C.—President Roosevelt, in his final message to congress, probably will recommend an increase in the numerical strength of the army to at least 100,000 men. At present the army is on a footing of 60,000 men. To the general staff it has become evident in the last two years that 60,000 men aer too few properly to garrison the posts at which it is necessary to maintain an armed force. These posts include the garrisons in the insular possessions of America. It is also pointed out that a considerable force will be required to garrison the fortifications at Pearl harbor, in the Hawaiian islands. An immense amount of money is to be expended in the erection of these fortifications, and it is the opinion or army officers that a garrison of at least 2,000 men will have to be maintained, there. FAMILY PLINTY LARGE Holland Man Lands With Wife and Thirteen Children. New York City.—President Roosevelt would have been delighted had he been on the Holland American liner pier when the steamship Rotterdam docked and welcomed William M. Branderhost, his laughing wife and thirteen happy robust children. Branderhost, who is a prosperous farmer, left his native town of Noordbrant, Holland, he said, to come to America, where he would have room to raise a really big family and where there would be opportunity for his children to grow up and expand. The thirteen, he asserted, are only a beginning. OF POLITICAL INTEREST. Before a large audience in Brown auditorium of the Ohio Northern University at Ada, Ohio, Professor Aaron S. Watkins was officially notified of his nomination as the candidate for vice president by the national prohibition party. In his speech of acceptance Professor Watkins declared that the saloon is doomed in the United States. Collar makers employed by a manufacturer at Galesburg, Ill., sent William Jennings Bryan a collar for Mr. Bryan's mascot mule. Every man in the shop took part in making the collar. The Bryan democrats of Baltimore are organizing a company to start a morning paper. The bolt of the Sun leaves Mr. Bryan out of the morning newspapers in Baltimore and the Baltimore papers cover Maryland. A socialist speaker in New York got so eloquent recently in telling about the awful condition of the working man that one of them who was listening to him tried to commit suicide on the spot. General Jacob S. Coxey, who led the army of unemployed men from his home in Ohio to Washington fourteen years ago, has announced that he intends to work for the populist party and for the election of Thomas E. Watson during the presidential campaign. Jay W. Forrest of New York, chairman of the national committee of the people's party, has established southwestern headquarters for the populist organization at St. Louis. According to Chairman-Forrest the populists will poll one million votes in November. E. W. Chafin, prohibition candidate for the presidency, in aspeech delivered at Spokane, Wash., said that one of the first things he would do after inauguration, should he be elected, would be to clean up the District of Columbia. He said Washington was one of the vilest cities in the world. The political situation in New York state has been jolted by the announcement that Governor Hughes was kissed "by a striking blonde," after his speech at a county fair. Just where the brunette influence will be thrown is an open question. Exhausted by ten speeches, Eugene V. Debs, candidate for president on the socialist ticket, arrived at Kansas City on his red special from DesMoines. Mr. Debs was greeted by a crowd of a hundred or more socialists. Outside of a few reporters Mr. Debs refused to see anyone. To the newspapermen, Mr. Debs said that he was contemplating taking his red special from Mabra, Neb., to Birmingham, Ala., to campaign for the striking coal miners there. It was decided and announced that Judge Taft with his family would accept the hospitality of his brother, Charles P. Taft, when he goes to Chincinnati at least for the first few weeks of the campaign. Scores of republican spellbinders received a shock when Frank H. Hitchcock, the national chairman, announced that in the present campaign no salaries will be paid to speakers. Expenses will be allowed, but the fat salaries which were paid in the campaigns of 1900 and 1904 will be kept in the treasury for other and more urgent needs. Mr. Bryan visited St. Paul, Minn., and delivered several speeches in which he expressed himself as being satisfied that Governor John A. Johns is in charge, will for the nomination before the Denver convention, will loyally support him in the coming campaign. After long debate, the Central Federated Union, which is the central organization of the, labor unions of New York City, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, adopted a resolution pledging support to the democratic ticket. The independence league appeared for the first time at the recent election in Vermont, and polled about 1,000 votes, while the prohibition and socialist vote remained about the same. In an open letter to friends in Texas William Jennings Bryan makes an appeal to the Catholic vote. He prefaces his statement by references to reports alleged to have been circulated in the present campaign to the effect that he was not and never had been disposed in a manner toward Catholics. This Mr. Bryan denies, and while declaring he is a member of the Presbyterian church he says he includes many Catholics among his dearest friends. "My gracious! It used to be that when I said a thing was to be done, that settled it. But it does not seem to be that way now. In these words, addressed to a recent visitor to Sagamore Hill, President Roosevelt showed that he chaefed under the defiant attitude of the leaders of the republican state organization on the question of renominating Governor Hughes for governor of New York. Henry Waterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, has given out a letter from Bishon Walters calling on negroes to vote the democratic ticket to secure fair treatment. W. J. Bryan will write each week until election a letter to be sent to every precinct democratic club in the country, giving advice and suggestion as to the campaign. The democratic national committee on college clubs organization includes the following southern members; F. H. Weston, South Carolina; H. H. Wallace, Athens, Ga.; M. T. Ormand, Alabama; A. A. Murphree, Florida; Luke Lea, Tennessee; C. Irving Carey, Virginia; R. E. L. Sanet, Texas; Joshua W. Herring, Maryland, and J. W. Swartz, Oklahoma. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1908. TO EXHIBIT RESOURCES WILL MEET IN WASHINGTON Columbus, Ga.—The important announcement has been made by J. A. Betfeman of Albany, Ga., secretary of the committee recently appointed at a meeting of trade bodies of eleven southern states at Chattanooga, Tenn., that a southern industrial congress will be held at Washington, D. C., on December 6, 7 and 8. It is hoped to make this congress the most elaborate and accurate exposition of southern resources and southern conditions ever held, and a program will be prepared with great care. In this program the south's best thought and most representative men will take part, the idea being to give the outside world a clear and intelligent idea of southern conditions as they actually exist. The committee, which is composed of G. G. Dawe, Montgomery, Ala. chairman; E. Z. Shannon, of Nashville, Tenn.; Walter G. Cooper, of Atlanta, and Mr. Betjeman, secretary, will meet in Atlanta to begin work on the pogram. Already twelve of the leading southern cities have formally given their endorsement of the proposed congress, and Secretary Betjeman is daily receiving further letters on the subject from various cities. Each constituent body is expected to appoint a committee of three to prepare printed matter and secure stereopticon views of its scenes and institutions and charts of its educational work, manufacturing, civic institutions, etc. The state geologist of each state, the commissioner of agriculture, the entomologist and the superintendent of education are requested to act as an advisory committee, and to associate with them the most prominent editors and the presidents of the leading commercial bodies in arranging for suitable representation of the state resources. The congress will be held immediately before the national congress on rivers and harbors is held in Washington, and this fact will swell the attention of a number of similar southern industrial congresses which will probably be held in the northern, eastern and western states. DENIED-RIGHT TO VOTE. Delaware Man Disfranchised for Twenty-Nine Years. Dover, Del—Dehled the privilege of voting twenty-nine years ago because he committed a trivial offense, Samuel Bush, a well-known resident of this city, has been given back his full powers of citizenship by the Delaware board of pardons. It was in 1879 that Bush was disfranchised. He had committed, petty larceny. It was a boyish prank, but he was convicted and sentenced to a year's imprisonment. Bush suffered more as a result of the disfranchisement than the year in prison. He ended he sought employment as a fisherman. Soon he owned a fleet of fishing boats. Today he occupies a fine home in New Castle County. All those years his inability to cast a ballot caused him wormtion. Finally the attention of the board of pardons was called to his case. Bush, his friends say, will be the proudest man in all Delaware at the next election. Inspectors for Schools. Chicago. Ill.—The pupils in the Chicago schools are now subject to a daily medical examination. *The health department bulletin* explains the method of inspection as follows: Ask the teacher to left a room, stand with his back to a window and have all the pupils of each room file past him for inspection. "The pupil in passing exposes to view palms of hands and wrists, with the fingers of one hand pulls down the eye lid, exposing the conjective, opens the mouth and puts out the mouth, the hurried inprocure of pupils should be made without touching the pupils, Skin diseases, eye diseases, and evidences of scarlet fever in convalescent stage can in this manner be detected." Aged Woman Cremated. Gadsen, Ala.—Mrs. Elizabeth McNeal, aged 75 years, and her invalid daughter-in-law, Mrs. Joe McNeal, aged 50 years, Mrs. buried to death in the house which destroyed their homes on Lookout Mountain, eight miles north of this city. Big Railroad Strike Feared. Nottingham, England.-The opening of the trades union congress, representing 1,750,000 workmen has, forecasted the greatest railroad strike in the history of England. A change in working conditions, which will be stoutly resisted by railroad companies, is to be demanded in the near future, and the congress will arrange for an exhausting contest. Killed In Melbourne. Washington-D. C.-Admiral Sperry, commander of the Atlantic battleship fleet, has cabled to the navy department that Arthur J. Dicker, a fireman attached to the battleship New Jersey, was killed in Melbourne, Australia. in a street car accident. SECRET PRICE IS FIXED By Farmers' Union for the Cotton Crop 1909-08-President Barrett Talks. Fort Worth, Texas--The issue between the cotton producers of America, as represented to the Farmers' Union, and those to whom he sells his staple, was formally joined when the national convention reached its determination with regard to selling price and methods of marketing. When President Barrett of the Farmers' Union was asked for a statement concerning the prospects for the coming autumn, as affected by action taken, he said: "We have formulated plans, which, if followed closely, will insure the cotton growers of the south the most prosperous year in their history. We have learned from the experience of the past few years, and you can assure the commercial interests of the south that the Farmers' Union is prepared to do its part in guaranteeing the material welfare of the section for the forthcoming twelve months. "Our rank and file now know their strength and their weakness. They are going to make the most of the one, and be watchful of the other. If every member of this union does not obtain a price for his cotton this year commensurate with its value and his labors, it will not be because plans have not been laid carefully, scrupulously and palmastingly to that end." The adjustable scale of prices fixed for the crop of 1908-09, the concentration of the power of disposition in a few hands, and the close alliance with spinners, together with arrangements for withholding cotton from the market in such quantities and at such times as the situation dictates, 'all conspire to place the plans of the union on a businesslike basis. It is the opinion of the highest officials of the union that the steps taken at the convention this year will inaugurate a new era in the matter of securing a full money return for the backbone crop of the southern states. As President Barrett expressed it, "each one of the many million people in the south dependent upon the production of cotton in its innumerable phases will have reason to look with gratitude on the wisdom of the delegates to this convention before the union shall have again been called into annual session." Much controversy, it is understood, arose over the price to be fixed, one faction favoring 12 cents and another 14 cents. The discussion at times became so heated and bitter that it was feared the delegates would come to blows, but President Barrett and other cool heads succeeded in the latter threatened trouble. In the latter finally came to vote that a 12-cent minimum proportion was defeated, but a 12-cent vote was adopted providing that the price fixed which could not be ascertained, shall be in force only for thirty days, the national handling committee being empowered to raise or lower it as the size of the crop-then seems to justify. The following officers were re-elected: Charles S. Barrett, Georgia, president; J. E. Montgomery, Tennessee, vice president; R. H. McCulloch, Arkansas, secretary and treasurer; directors; W. A. Morris, Alabama; T. M. Jeffersd, Oklahoma; I. N. McCollister, Louisiana. SAVED FROM INSTANT DEATH. A. L. Banks Lassoed as He Was Going Over. Precision San Bernardino, Cal—Archie L. Banks, a prominent resident of Philadelphia, was saved from instant death by William Rogers of New York, in a most remarkable manner in the mountains near here. A party of four—James Archer of London, William Rogers and Robert Shea of New York and Mr. Banks—were riding on one of the slopes on the San Bernardino. Banks' horse slipped and he rolled down an embankment toward a precipice. At the very brink he grapped a small bush, which was about to give way under the strain, when there was the swish of a lasso and the imperiled man found himself encroiled by a rope, thrown with unerring aim by Rogers. With the exception of a few bruises and a severe nervous shock Banks was uninjured. SPECTAGULAR LEAP TO DEATH. Florida Man Leaps from Third Story Window of Hotel. Hot Springs, Ark.—A. S. Waters, a visitors from Tampa, Fla., made a spectacular leap to his death from a third story window of the new Presston Hotel to the pavement below, a distance of fifty feet. Before, out of the window he tore up a handful of currency and threw it in the -wash basin of his room. He died half an hour after his fall. Tampa, Fla.—A. S. Water, who committed suicide in Hot Springs, was an employee of the Tampa Box Factory, in the capacity of sawyer. He left here saying he was going to Hot Springs to regain his health. No reason can be assigned for the suicide except bad health. PRESIDENT WAS NOT SHOT. Shots Heard Near President's Home Were Fired by Hunters. Oyster Bay, N. Y.—Sensational reports that an attempt had been made to shoot President Roosevelt apparently have their origin in the fact that the hunting season has opened on Long Island, and there is considerable shooting daily in the outlying districts. Close investigation falls to show that there has been any overt act directed against the president. There is evidence to claim every day, covering various routes in the country and it is not unusual for him to encounter parties of hunters. Also there is a shooting club which engages in target practice not far from Sagamore Hill. LABOR DAY OBSERVED John Mitchell Spoke at Marion, Illinois. Birmingham, Savannah and Atlanta Had Big Celebration. Birmingham, Ala.—Labor day in Birmingham was unusually strenuous this year. In addition to the great picnic at Germania Park the crowds in the city were increased enormously by the reception tendered the first train over the new Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad; the opening of the national convention of the postoffice clerks, which is attended by over 500 delegates, and the congressional district teachers' institute, which opened with teachers attending from four counties. While the crowds were the largest seen since the confederate reunion no disorders of moment were reported. Marion, Ill.-John Mitchell, former president of the United Mine Workers of America, addressed two thousand people at the Labor day celebration here. Mr. Mitchell spoke of the rapid advance of laboring classes and denounced the idea that the rich are growing richer and the poor poorer. He said that recently he had had political ambition, but had abandoned all aspirations in that direction. He spoke highly of the judiciary, but criticised its course, in some injunction cases. Atlanta, Ga.-This city was wholly in the hands and in keeping of working men of this section of the state on Monday. From every county in the congressional district working men came to take part in the day's ceremonies, taking with the men names the farmer, the agriculturist being as much enthused over the prospects of the day as his fellow producer, who has long been looking with pleasant anticipation from one Labor day to another. Never before has Atlanta seen a larger or more thoroughly organized body move through the streets. It would require a well-trained military body to surpass the work of the unions. There is not a working force in Atlanta that was not represented in that line of march. Chicago, Ill.—Organized labor Monday paid tribute to William J. Bryan. Although it was labor day, it soon became manifest that the workers had surrendered their privilege and made it Bryan day. Within an hour after his arrival in the city the democratic candidate for president; standing on the balcony of the Auditorium-hotel, received the plaudits of thousands of toilers as they marched by in the monster labor parade. The air was rent with cheers, and the enthusiasm was unbounded. Savannah, Ga.—Thirty floats, two scores of labor unions, detachments of police and fire department, with many carriages made up the most elaborate parade as part of a Labor-day celebration. Savannah has seen in many years, filing for many miles through the city streets. The city enjoyed its general holiday, the parade being followed by a series of athletic events at Tybere, where some creditable records were made by local athletes. The games all had a long list of entries. FEDERAL EMPLOYEES WARNED. In Regard to Participation in Political Campaigns. Washington, D. C.—A note of warning against federal employees resigning to participate in political campaigns with the expectation of possibly re-entering the service is sounded in a statement given out by the civil service commission defining its attitude. Inasmuch as the issuance of a certificate is discretionary with the commission," says the letter, which is signed by President John R. Black, "no certificate will be issued in any case where the party seeking reinstatement resigned with a view to running for office or indulging in a degree of political activity which would be prohibited if he had remained in the service, afterwards having failed in his candidacy, or having indulged in the contemplated political activity, seeks reinstatement." Roosevelt Will End Vacation. Oyster Bay, N, Y.-Unless there is a sudden change of plans, President Roosevelt, will end his vacation at Sagamore Hill on September 22 and will return to Washington on that day. This will be the shortest vacation of his career in several years, and it is said that he is returning to Washington early in order to be in closer touch with the campaign. Forest Fires Subdued. Duluth, Minn.—With Louis, Tasca and Carleton counties in Minnesota and Douglas county, Wisconsin, laid in waste, the forest fires which raged thirty-six hours are under control. The prompt action following Governor Johnson's proclamation relieved the sufferings of 14,000 people made helpless. A city of tents has sprung up in Iowa giving thousands a refuelling shelter. Martial law in declared in the burned districts. The loss is estimated at $4,000,000. It was at first feared many were killed, and late reports, place the death list at a dozen. Volunteer firemen and residents of small towns were killed fighting the flames. LATE NEWS NOTES General. One man was burned to death, two women were seriously injured and several others more or less badly burned in a fire which destroyed the men's and women's buildings of the Philadelphia Cricket club at Chestnut Hill a suburb of Philadelphia. Rev. Dr. C. Campbell Morgan, the noted English preacher, who has arrived at New York from Europe, declared in an interview that he is in favor of women suffrage. He said also that the two big political parites in Great Britain are in favor of it, and that both houses of parliament likewise approve, but that for political reasons no big leader in either house can well come out to champion the cause. He believes that very shortly women will be voting in England. Details of the fighting between the French troops at Bodenib, on the Algerian frontier, and Berber tribesmen, have been received at Paris, France, and indicate a victory for the French so sweeping it is believed the uprising is now ended. Hundreds of Moors surrounding the French garrison, were slain by the machine guns. Members of the congressional currency commission passing through New York on their return from Europe, where they have been making investigations, say that little can be done during the coming session of congress in the way of financial legislation. However, there is a strong sentiment that much more important projects in currency reforms will grow out of the commissioners' work. Half crazed by worry over the constant threats of revolt at Lisbon and of attempts on the lives of the members of the royal family, Dowager Queen Maria of Portugal is preparing to leave that country for Italy, where she will make her future home. It just became known that a package containing over $52,000 in jewelry, notes and other valuable papers disappeared in Portland, Ore., on the night of August 21. The package, which was sent over the Wells-Fargo Express company, reached Portland, August 21, at 2 p.m., but no trace of the small package after that hour could be found. Out of approximately six thousand people stricken with cholera in Russia this season, more than three thousand died, according to a tabulation which has been made public. The disease is still raging. The epidemic has been traced to hawkers of beverages in the cities along the Neva river. Berkman, the anarchist, was arrested in New York when he tried to break up a meeting of labor men by injecting his anarchistic speeches, red flags and bands playing the Marsallista. One man, waiting a red flag, was kicked by the police the entire length of the hall into the street. Emma Goldman was present, but left before the disturbance took place. Captain Lee Cannon, a Cornell graduate and leader of the Honduras revolution, is to be put to death, according to reports brought to San Francisco by passengers arriving on the steamer City of Sydney from Panama and Central American points. According to the reports, Cannon killed fifteen men single-handed in his last stand, but was finally captured. The National League for the protection and promotion of airships, which recently was organized by Rene Quinton at Paris, has announced that its prize will be awarded to the French aeronaut who shall first double longest flight made hitherto by Wilburn Wright. All the prizes must be contested for in France. H. C. Killmer of Baltimore, Md., was elected president and commander-in-chief of the Boys' Brigade of America, which held its annual convention in that city, H. M. Stratton of New York was elected vice president. A new constitution was adopted in order to better cover the needs of large organization. Four are dead and the bodies of many others are believed to be in the ruins of a fire which destroyed a seven-story building in New York City. All were garment workers. The fire is believed to have been incendery. Twenty-six men were rescued by the bravery of the firemen and police. Many of these had narrow escapes from death. No women were rescued There are over fifty groups of Esperantists in the cities and larger towns of Spain studying the new language. Washington. American minister to Salvador, H. Percival Dodge, who went to Tegucigalpa, Honduras, to discuss the issue of the revocation of the exhumation of Consul Linard and Vice Consul Reynolds at Celiba, has telegraphed the state department that the mutilation has been satisfactorily and amicably adjusted. The complaints lodged in Washington with the interstate commission commission against the railroads in the southwestern territories, advancing freight rates, commodities, will be heard by the commission in the former case at Atlanta, Ga., September 21, and in the latter case at St. Louis, Mo., September 28. A government wireless telegraph station at the top of Washington monument, five hundred and fifty-five feet from the ground is the latest suggestion of Lieutenant C. H. Land Davis of the navy, the probability and feasibility of the plan has proved by the experts of the government.

THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S FIGHT FOR EQUALITY The Russian patriot and author recently made public a most passionate and severe indictment directed against the present system of "government by execution" in Russia. Novel Dustpan A novel device recently patented by a West Virginia woman is the unique dustpan shown in the illustration. It was designed with one object in view—to overcome the objection of the ordinary dustpan. In the latter no provision is made for preventing the dust and dirt from blowing off the pan after it has been gathered. In ```markdown ``` this improved dustpan it is impossible for the dust and dirt to drop on the floor. This dustpan, when closed, is in the form of a box, one of the sides of the box forming the front edge of the dustpan when the latter is opened. In the top of the box are slots, through which extend the rods of the handle. These rods are pivoted to the front edge of the box. After the dust and dirt have been brushed into the dustpan the box is lifted by the handle. As the latter is drawn up the front of the dustpan is drawn up, throwing all the dust into the box, the lid effectively sealing the front and preventing the accidental escape of the contents in any way.—Washington Star. Having a Good Time. A wholesale scorn of physical illis is a good thing, according to the philosophy of a boy in the State School for Dependent Children, who wrote his father thus: "Dear Papa—We children are having a good time here now. Mr. Sager broke his leg and can't work. We went on a picnic and it rained and we all got wet. Many children here are sick with mumps. Mr. Higgins fell off the wagon and broke his rib, but he can work a little. The man that is digging the deep well whipped us boys with a buggy whip because we threw sand in his machine, and made black and blue marks on us. Ernest cut his finger badly. We are all very happy."—The Delineator. If your daughter is growing up too quiet and never seems to have anything to say, exert yourself to draw her out. Lead her into general conversation at every opportunity and let her feel that her thoughts and opinions are of some weight, and importance. Do not let her sink into that state of mind, which is content to let other people take the burden of conversation, while she sits by in apparent stupid silence. It is a habit which will grow upon her and prevent her being gracious and attractive, and will become more deeply fixed if referred to in any way. Some day her chances of happiness may be ruined by it. — New York Times. Speaking of the remaking of old dresses, one of the best dressmakers in Paris is authority for the statement that it does not pay. "Do not rip up your old gown; do not touch a scissors to it," says she, "but content yourself with retrimming it." In these days a pointed guipme of flet and duchess lace can be set into an old blouse. This will give the new jumper effect: If the sleeves are short and too puffy at the shoulders, they can be made to look different by placing a flat piece of trimming upon the shoulder seam. This makes the shoulder look longer without altering the set of the sleeve. A long, light lace undersleeve, coming to the knuckles, makes the sleeve still more modish. I will say something to the ladies. The young men are not the only beings in America who need to walk for exercise. Our girls and women need this recreation. American women do not walk nearly as much as they ought to. While in England I found the women over there much stronger and Lady Baltimore Cake Carolina Delicacy.—"Here cake, deservedly a favorite before Mr. Owen Wister it," says the Woman's Ho- t.

Put the mixture finish the top layer—whi sprinkled powdered sugar wise. The measuring cup filled just level. This is followed." Healthier than those in our country. I think this is due entirely to the fact that they spend so much-time in walking. It is nothing for an English girl or woman to walk a distance of seven or eight miles. Let the young ladies of New York try this some afternoon, and they will not suffer from a lack of appetite for dinner. If the girls and women of New York should form a walking club I would be delighted to walk with them some afternoon and give what advice I could. I think the fad for high heel shoes in New York and Paris is responsible for so little walking among our women. They cannot walk far in high heel shoes. Their ankles become twisted, and there is such a pressure upon the instep that the pain will prevent them from going any-long distance. — Weston, in the Evening World. "I see you are planning for the introduction of playgrounds for poor children in New York on a rather elaborate plan," said Mrs. Clara E. Lemar, of Berlin, to a New York Telegram reporter. "I hope you will not follow the model of 'European playgrounds which I have seen. It would be difficult to find a more demoralizing place for a child than the average playground as now run in England and on the Continent. "The first requisite for a boy to get along in a public playground abroad is to be a 'buffer' and a 'bully.' "The boy who cannot fight a gang and come out on top four or five times a day stands little show in one of our ideal public playgrounds. "The moment he appears his toys are taken away from him and he is sent home, to get money for the gang." His standing at the playground after that depends either upon his ability to steal from his parents for the benefit of his playmates or else his ability as a fighter. "The most modest and retiring little girl will be completely transformed by a week at one of these public playgrounds into a rough, boys- Sometimes there is a drop of regret in the cup of joy served by fate to the husband of a brilliant talker. "I should think it would be a privilege to sit at the table with your wife three times a day," said one of Mrs. Grandon's ardent feminine admirers. "Only twice a day," said Mr. Grandon, with a bow. "I do not go home at noon." "Too bad!" said the admirer. "We could not get on without her at the club, I'm sure. Why, I believe she could talk intelligently on a thousand topics! "She can — and does," said Mr. Grandon, and with another bow he slipped out just as his wife appeared. —Youth's Companion. Form That Fits All. Through the ingenuity of a New York man, shopkeepers and dressmakers will be able to get along hereafter with one kind of dress form. Long waists and short waists all look alike on this body portion, which can be adjusted to fit anything the human form can wear. The form is made similar to those now in use, except that the model can be moved up and down on the upright rod that runs through the centre and affixed at any height over the line that may be desired. In the old-style form a short waisted waist did not fit on a long waisted model, and vice versa, and both for window display and dressmaking a number of different forms were required each for a different type of figure. Either for fitting or display this invention is expected Can Be Changed at Will. to be of value, both in the saving of money and time, for not only will one take the place of several of the old designs, but it will not be necessary to scour about for the suitable form for each occasion.—Philadelphia Record. Woman's Realm Lady Baltimore Cake: Recipe For the Famons South Carolina Dellecay—"Here is a South Carolina recipe for this cake, deservedly a favorite in all Southern dining rooms long before Mr. Owen Wister heaped drawing room honors upon it," says the Woman's Home Companion. "Two-thirds of a cupful of butter, five eggs, two cupfuls of sugar, four cupfuls of flour, one-half cupful of rich milk, two level teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar and one level teaspoonful of soda. Cream half the sugar with the butter, beat the remaining sugar into the yolks of the eggs, and sift the cream of tartar and the soda twice through the flour; beat the eggs and sugar together with the butter and sugar, add the milk slowly, and finally beat in the flour and stillly beaten whites of the eggs. Flavor half this mixture with rose, and into the other half beat one teaspoonful of powdered cinnamon, one teaspoonful of powdered cloves and one grated nutmeg, and flavor with vanilla, lemon or almond; bake in four layer cake pans—two white layers and two spiced layers. "For the Filling: Cut fine one cupful of sedeed raisins, shred thin half a citron melon, grate one small coacanut and blanch three-fourths a pound of almonds; make an ordinary boiled icing, and into it beat all these ingredients save the almonds. Put the mixture thickly between the layers, and finish the top layer—which should be a white one—with sprinkled powdered sugar and the almonds stuck in porcupine wise. The measuring cups are ordinary coffee cups and are filled just level. This is a successful recipe and one easily followed." Training-Shy Girls. Remodeling Dresses. Women Should Walk. Too.

"All of these places soon become so terribly crowded the children are compelled to yell at the tops of their voices, and they soon carry this custom home with them. It has also been found by many parents abroad that these large-playgrounds are the means of spreading children's diseases over whole neighborhoods." Fashion's Dictates. "Since semi-precious stones have become, so extremely fashionable," writes Grace Margaret Gould, the fashion editor, in the Woman's Home Companion, "women depend a great deal on jewelry as the finishing touch to their costume. Of course, we all know that an abundance of cheap jewelry is in the worst possible taste, and no woman of refinement would be bedecked herself. But to wear a necklet of a fine gold or platinum chain, artistic and unusual, finished with a flower-shaped pendant made of baroque pearls and white or green metal, set with tiny diamonds, is in perfect taste if it is fit harmony with the type of gown with which it is worn. "Bracelets can also give a very artistic finishing touch to a costume. Old-fashioned designs for bracelets are much sought, and a new cameo mounted on a gold band is one of the favored new ideas. An exquisite design for a bracelet shows a large pink-and-white cameo having the effect of being held in place by buches of pearl grapes. "Flower pins studded with colored stones are much used at present, for this spring the artificial flower is worn with street costumes, and the pin to hold it has become quite a necessity."

There are hopes that the inartistic white glove may be doomed, at least for England. A dainty lingerie hat is embroidered in wallachian work, the flowers done separately. The exaggerated hat brim is in rather poor taste and not worn by those invariably well dressed.

"Kimono," to be pronounced correctly as the Japanese say it, should be accented not on the second, as we do, but on the first syllable. Nothing is more out of keeping in the realm of dress than a short walking skirt and an elaborate big hat. The two should hardly meet in the street, to say, nothing of appearing in the same costume. Even the woman with luxurious locks patronizes the dealer in fine hair goods. She is going to wear the little curls and puffs which are so fashionable and she isn't going to ruin her own hair with the hot iron.

The moisture from the breath congeals so quickly that a mustache becomes imbedded in a solid cake of ice, and the face is frozen in a short time. FIND CHRISTIAN CHURCHES IN EGYPT. Existed Two-or Three Centuries After Death of Christ is Opinion of Archaeologists. News received from Dr. David Ranall Macfiron's archaeological expedition to Egypt has thrown scientific circles at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, into a flutter of excitement, for the director of the expedition, in the report just received, announces discoveries hardly less important than those which he made at Anlbeh early in January. While in the north of Egypt, early in February, Dr. Macliver discovered several Christian churches of a date within two or three centuries after the death of Christ. These ancient sanctuaries of the earliest adherents of the then despised Christian sect were carefully cleared of the heaps of desert sand which have covered them during the lapse of centuries. The members of the expedition then made careful maps and photographs of the shrines. It is thought at the university that when these maps and pictures are published much will be added to the little amount of knowledge antiquarians possess regarding the churches and the modes of worship of the earliest Christians outside of the city of Rome. As a rival to the famous Cleopatra vase discovered at Anlbeh, which is now carefully boxed up in Cairo, awaiting shipment to the university museum, Dr. Macliver discovered, in a little known locality near the second cataract of the Nile, a number of marvellously carved capitals of columns and a cornice sculptured with the heads of the Royal Draeus. This snake was the emblem of the ancient Egyptian monarchy. The columns and the cornice are similar to the sculptures of Philae, and are of the same period, but are said to be in perfect condition. Dr. Macliver believes that these newly discovered pieces of architecture represent the finest works of their class in existence, and for beauty of design and execution he says they rival some of the work on some of the most famous of the Grecian temples. Dr. Macliver left Anlbeh, the scene of his earlier discoveries, on January 15, leaving half of his party there to continue the excavations in charge of his assistant, Dr. Woolley. After making a careful study of the Middle Empire forts and towns of Mirgeshich and Behn, near Wady Halfa, the party began working northward. Owing to the great success of the expedition, Dr. Macliver may stay in Egypt longer than was at first expected. In his latest report he expressed doubt as to whether he will bring his expedition home before the early part of next year. ASLEEP UNDER WATER. One of the Funny Incidents Possible in a Diver's Life. As showing how much at home a man may be to-day under water, I may relate an amusing story. Some months ago, while the great battleship Dreadnought was at Malta, one of the seamen divers went down to clear her propeller from some foul-sam that had become entagled, and he failed to come up. It chanced that the rest of the battleship's divers were ashore, and grave concern was felt on the ironclad for the missing worker. Signals by telephone and lifeline were sent below, without avail. In the launch above the throb, throb of the air pump's cylinders went on, but the attendants looked at one another in dismay, fearing some strange tragedy deep down in those heaving green seas. The worst was feared when some big brushes and other tools came floating to the surface, and thereupon the navigating lieutenant sent ashore an urgent message for one of the other divers. The man came on board, dressed immediately, and went below, only to come up full of indignation. "Why, that fellow's been asleep all this time!" he said, wrathfully. It was true. The man had just had his lunch, and finding the work much less serious than he had thought, he finished it in a few minutes and then sat comfortably on one of the giant blades of the Dreadnought's propeller and went to sleep, with inquisitive fishes swarming around him, attracted by the dazzling searchlight on his breast! The officers were so amused at the occurrence that no punishment was inflicted on the lazy one.—From "The Divers of a Navy and Their Adventures," in St. Nicholas. Proverbs For Printers. A busy tongue makes a dirty proof. Neither the blacksmith nor his second cousin should be on the printer's pay-roll. "Let your light so shine that others," seeing your good work, may also take pattern therefrom: The slovenly workman is always in evidence. He can be traced by the careless manner in which his jobs are put together, by the litter of odds and ends—quads, leads, string, cardboard—which always distinguish his stand or the last place he worked. Killing time may be a fine art—but it does not require a great quantity of brains. "Brid," in Practical Printer. The mole of the Western Pacific Railroad, at Oakland, Cal., is nearly completed.

The Farmers' Union Is Co-Operating and Will Show Georgia's Best Farm Products. Atlanta, Ga—Pawnee Bill, who is coming to the state fair, Atlanta, in October, with a band of Indians and a company of cowboys, is one of the few picturesque old Indian fighters left. He is chief of the Pawnee Indians, president of a bank and the head of a large wild west circus. He has a bullet in his neck, fired by a horse thief and a deep scar left on his head by an Indian's tomahawk. Years ago, Pawnee Bill was the terror of the bad men in his part of the west. He had nerve, a clear eye, Major Gordon W. Lillie, "Pawnee Bill." a quick finger and a good pistol. When he got in action, there was something doing. Chasing horse thieves and bank robbers and fighting Indians were sport for him. Since he settled down to business, he has been very successful. It is said that he cleared $100,000 last year with his circus. Atlanta has engaged his show and will have it give a free performance every afternoon during the fall in front of the grand stand. Among the features of this year's fair, which will be under the auspices of the Farmers' Union, will be cotton with upwards of 1,000 bbls to the stalk, hay that made five tons to the acre, oats six feet high, $1,750 hog, fine cattle, poultry and a great exhibit of farm machinery, trained dogs and lions, a cotton seed oil mill operation and a model dairy. There will be a big military day, and General Luke Wright of Tennessee, secretary of war, will be invited to review the troops. Hon. E. W. Chapin, candidate for president, will speak at the fair on prohibition day, Saturday, October 10. The temperance people say they will hold the largest rally that day ever seen in Georgia. That same day there will be the greatest baby show ever held in the state. Bables from all over Georgia are expected. A fox hunt is planned for another day inside the fair grounds, and on still another day there will be an imitation robbery, night of the burglars and pursuit by bloodhounds. PROTECTED HOME FOR BIRDS. Plans of Audubon Societies to Prevent Slaughter. New York City--Three hundred square miles of the favorite hunting grounds for the water fouls in this country will soon be converted by the National Association of Audubon Societies into a protected home for the various breeds gradually undergoing extermination for commercial purposes, according to information given out at head varters here. The two tracts present, 1 by the government for this purpose are in Oregon and California, about 1.6 Klamath, Malheur and Harney lal 28 Whole races of the wild fowl, persecuted by seekers after plumes and food for the market, will be restored, say the officers of the Audubon society, if the people of the country will do their shard in the great work of preserving these natural scavangers, whose taste for food is one of the chief preventatives of plagues and pestilence in the section they inhabit. An exhaustive study of conditions has been made by men who, for three years, have been exploring the wild places where the birds live, braving the danger of semi-savage bands of poachers as well as the difficulties of the country to secure the information wanted. - FARMING IN ALASKA Watermelons Grown in Open—Corn Seven Feet High. Seattle, Wash.—Professor C. C. Georgeson, head of the agricultural experimental station in Alaska, who arrived on the Victoria from Nome, says that he ate watermelon grown in the open at Manley Hot Springs in the Tanana valley on August 18; was served with tomatoes grown in the open; had his picture taken in a corn field where the stalks stood seven feet high, and traveled through farms on the Tanana and Yukon where where wheat, barley, oats and rye were maturing. $334,000 INCREASE SHOWN. Dougherty County's Tax Returns Show Big Increase. Albany, Ga.—When the tax returns of Dougherty county were finally consolidated it was found that the increase over 1907 amounted to a total of over $34,000, which is believed to be the largest percentage of increase shown by any county of the state. The total for the county is a little less than $6,000,000. The colored tax payers of the county show a falling off in property returned of $17,000. 2 doers t. - Prt, -The Savannah Tribun Pustisnen Every SATURDAY BY THE-TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO. # 462 West Broad Street, t97-Bell Phone 2171 : —————————————— Susscrierion Rates? . de Year sssssorssseranseresoreseseeens 1.25, Bix Months — wcecgrencneneee | 75 ‘Three Months. -.ccsolesrecesesseee -50 Remittance must be made by Express or Post Office Money Order, or Register- ed Letter.

While we ‘donot commend the President tor doing so, yet we cannot af- ford to go back onthe party of freedom on account of one act of injustice, Let us compare the other hundred acts benetici- al to the race for which the Re- publican, party is responsible, to this on» act of injustice, and see ifitis wiseto vote against the party, especially fora party that hes fought our freedom, our civil rights and is ever 1n1mi- cal to the best interest ofthe race The. democratic party is the party of lynching, jim crow jaws and race restrictions.

In company with President L. E. Williams ofthe Wage Earners Bank, we spent a yery enjoyable week that will be_pleasantly re- membered. We went for recrea- tion and we succeeded. We would not allow our friends to shower upon us the hospitality that they are famous for, in part, they ‘e- luctantly acquiesced. One of the first ones to greet us after~our arrival was our old friend, J. S. Blocker, who is one lot the most popular residents of the town, and for whom eyery- body has a pleasant word. He was the last to tell us godd-bye. Prof. Blocker was untiring in his efforts to show us around and did much to make our stay very pleas- ant,and to put us ‘‘wise.” He conducts one of the largest: tonsor- ial parlors in the town and has the leading citizens as his patrons.

There aro many, so-called white leads on tho markét, which contain chalk, zine, barytes, and other cheap adulterants. Uniess the property owner takes ad- vantage of the simple means of pro- tection afforded him by relfable white lead manufacturers, he runs great risk of getting an inferfor and adul- terated white lead. It Is to protect the paint-buyer against fraud and adulteration that National Lead Company, the largest makers of genuitie Pure Walte Lead, place thelr famous “Dutch Boy Paint- er” trademark on every keg of thelr product, an absolute guarentee of its purity and quality. Anyone who wants to make a practical test of white Jead, and who wants a valuable freo book about painting, should address Na- tional Lead Company, Woodbridge Bldgw New York, and ask for test equipment.

The great Prince Hall celebration at Boston was in full bloom this week. Prominent Masons from all over the country were present and added zest to the celebration. The Grand Lodge of Georgia was represented by Grand Master Butler, Past Grand Deputy Master. Charles A. Clark and Deputy Grand Master G. R. Hutto. Eureka Lodge No.1 sent its worshipful master, Brother G. L. Binyard. This lodge was warranted by the Prince Hall Grand Lodge. Grand Master Butler, who took an extensive foreign trip, planned to reoch this country in time to attend the Prince Hall celebration. The officers of the several lodges are now hewing to the line and compelling the brethren to act well their part. There remains but a little over three months before the Masonic year ends. Officers must labor incessantly in order to make this a record-breaking year in every resppect. The relief department is still booming. Its success has surpassed the expectation of every one. One way in which to raise the standard of Masonry in your community is to receive into membership only the very best men, and those who are already members should act according to Masonic principles. MASONIC IMPOSTERS. It is a noticeable fact that the tribe of Masonic imposters is decreasing in numbers. This is brought about by the dissemination of more thorough information through Masonic publications, relief associations, and the system of notifying the lodge of the visitation of any of its members to another lodge, thereby discovering frauds when perpetrated. Texas Free Mason. WHAT DO WE LIVE FOR? What do we live for? Is it for gold which passes away with the using? Is it for fame, which is a bubble which bursts while we look at it? Is it for the gratification of our senses, which becomes nauseating and falls upon us as the lengthening shadows of life fall across our pathway? Is it for friendship, that lasts only while the sun of prosperity shines upon us? Is it for love, that grows cold as age creeps on? Free Masonry is not only the oldest, but the best fraternal organization ever known to exist, and the requisite qualifications necessary for candidates to possess, are a firm belief in the existence of one true and living God, a good reputation, an honest method of living, sound morals and a competent understanding.

Our dealing is prompt, and orders for picnics, lodges, churches, excursions and societies given special attention. Masonic honors easily won are lightly valued, and the brother who is advanced to the East by the rapid transit line is likely to be of very little use to the lodge after his year of service has expired.—Exchange. The Brotherhood of man under the Fatherhood of God will yet be realized, and Masonry will aid in bringing about this glorious result. THE NATIONAL GAME. George Paige, the Charleston pitcher, reported to the New York Club. Manager Ganzell will this fall try his recruits one by one, and not by wholesale. The Chicago Club has loaned pitcher Neuer to the Johnstown TriState Club. Fred Clarke picked up two strong veterans for his outfield in Thomas and Shannon. President Charles Murphy, of the Cubs, is hot on the trail for pitchers. He is not the only one. Bill Sweeney, of the Bostons, is of opinion that third base is the hardest infield position to play. Boston has bought outfielder Beals Becker from Little Rock, Ark., with the consent of Pittsburg. Pitcher Reulbach is acquiring Pat Flaherty's expertness in rapid-fire delivery when the batsman is off his guard. Wagner leads the National League in extra bases, with 19 doubles, 13 triples and 8 home runs, an aggregate of 109. Catcher George Gibson, of Pittsburg, has shown great improvement in his work this season over any preceding season. Kid Elberfeld has not given the umpires the least bit of trouble since he became a manager. He has behaved admirably. Del Howard is hitting the ball good and hard this season, and his timely hitting has earned more than one victory for the Cubs. Mathewson has the best strike-out record to date for both major leagues. In the National League Rucker is second to Mathewson. President George Dovey, of Boston, is on the still hunt for rising young players. Good old ones will get the money when doing their best. Donald Knew. Margaret, aged ten, was a beginner in history. "Mamma," she asked, "what does 'behead' mean?" "To cut off a man's head, dear." There was a moment of silent study; then another question: Little Donald, aged four, was interested. "I know, mamma," was his logical conclusion. "'Defeat' means to cut a man's feet off."—The Delineator. Acorn bread diet is not so whole some as a born bread diet. Sayannah, Ga.
