The MEN IN SUIGIDE CLUB Dr. Rustin of Omaha Belonged to Such an Organization. ALL SWEAR TO KILL SELVES As the Only Solution of Their Moral and Financial Distress—Insurance Companies Pay Claims. Omaha, Neb.-An attorney employed by certain interests connected with the Rustin case, says he has evidence to be disclosed later tending to show that Dr. Rustin belonged to a suicide club, composed of men as desperate as himself, who mutually agreed on death as the only solution of their financial and moral distress. These men, the attorney argued, had met in the resorts where Dr. Rustin first encountered Mrs. Abbie Rice, who revealed in her testimony at the corer's inquest the astounding story of, the death pact into which she and the doctor had entered. J. M. McIntosh, a brother-in-law of Dr. Rustin, who was in Europe when the tragedy occurred, has returned to this country, and will be in Omaha in a day or two to assume general direction for the family of procedure to obtain the insurance' the doctor left, which is said to have amounted to $75,000. One company has already announced its readiness to turn over $22,500, the full amount he carried. County Attorney English, who, with the aid of the police department, is investigating the mystery of the death of Dr. Frederick T. Rustin, reports that he has unearthed six important witnesses whose testimony has not yet become public. He says their testimony will materially help in the solution of the puzzle. Effort to Enforce Recognition of Union in Blue Gem Section. Jellico, Tenn.—Trouble is reported in coal mines in the Blue Gem section of the Jellico coal district. It is also understood here that a labor disturbance has been created at Woolridge and that a number of men are out on a strike at the Woolridge mines. The trouble in the Blue Gem mines is said to be over the efforts of the United Mine Workers of Amelia to organize non-union miners employed therein. It is stated that in the Blue Gem Coal company's mine, which works about 100 men, a number are on strike seeking to enforce a recognition of the union. Also that the Burk Hollow Coal company's mine has lost about 100 men by strike for union recognition. The Jellico Blue Gem Coal company's mine may also be affected by the agitation in favor of unionizing all the Blue Gem mines. Other mines operating in the Blue Gem mine are the East Tennessee Coal company and the smaller mines of J. G. Rogers, C. W. Woodward and John Carroll. It is said that 500 men are employed in all the mines in this vein. No violence has been attempted so far, and none is anticipated, as the men have been orderly. Effort to Have Cotton Goods on Par With Wool, Fur and Silk. Washington, D. C.—The Association of Union-Made Garment Manufacturers of America, which is composed of firms in all sections of the United States, has filed a complaint with the interstate commerce commission, seeking to compel railroads to haul manufactured cotton goods at rates no higher than those charged for garments made of wool, fur and silk. The association also claims that the rate on cotton garments should be no greater per 100 pounds than that charged on the material from which the garments are made. Narrow, Clinging Coats Will Be "The Thing" for Men. Chicago, Ill.—Sheath effects have invaded the male wardrobe. Narrow, clinging coats, guaranteed to adhere closely to the form of man and impart the same swell appearance affected by the other sex, will be "the thing" this fall. The fact was shown at the opening of the American style and fashion show at 185 Dearboarn street. One of the noticeable "sheaths" was an exhibit from Pittsburg. It was a business coat. Cut narrow about the hips and fastened by two cute cloth buttons, it slopes upward in a delicate curve, atting snugly at the shoulder and cut low in front. The "invisible braid," running along the edge of the lappels and cuffs was declared "very proper." One Sald to Cover 2,250,000 Square Miles of Surface. Pittsburg, Pa.—Attracted by probably the most remarkable aurora borealis ever witnessed in this section of the country, Dr. John A. Brashear, the well-known astrologer, made a measurement of an immense sun spot he had photographed. This spot covers 2,250,000 square miles of the surface of the sun and has temperature estimated at sixty thousand degrees above zero. Dr. Brashear believes there is a close connection between the aurora borealis and sun spots and said, "I expect we shall hear of magnetic disturbances due to these sun spots." VOL. XXIII. TENNESSEE MINERS OUT. SEEK REDUCTION OF RATES. "SHEATH" CLOTHES FOR MEN. MANIMOTH SPOT ON SUN. LATE NEWS NOTES. Reports that the great Mexican oil well fire near Tampico has been extinguished were brought to New Orleans by passengers on the steamer City of Mexico from Tampico. The blaze, which has been compared to a lake-of-fire, was put under control, the passengers said, by the use of an enormous piece of sheet iron, which so reduced the volume of flame that it could be smothered with water. A high embankment is said to have since been built around the well to contain the flow of oil until storage tanks can be erected. Two hundred men were trapped in the Windsor end of the Michigan Central tunnel at Detroit with the timbers of the tunnel ablaze between them and their only exit, fought in a mad stampede for life and air, dashing through thick smoke, toward greedy tongues of flames to life. Two men, safely out once, went back down into the inferno of roaring flame and swirling smoke, hoping to rescue some of their fellows who might have been suffocated or trampled down in the rush for aid. Those men died an awful death as a result of their vain; but splendid effort to save their fellows. The rest of the men escaped. A pacificatory note was sounded at the opening session of the states general at The Hague when in reading the message from the throne on behalf of Quenn Wilhelmina, who is too ill to leave the palace, declared Holland was doing everything possible to bring about an amicable settlement of the Venezuelan trouble. A large part of the message dealt with the financial condition of the country. The message was received enthusiastically. Governor Comer of Alabama has ordered the state troops to be in readiness to go to Clay county, where operations of night riders are said to be becoming widespread among Alabama cotton growers, following the example set by Arkansas growers, and trying to intimidate cotton farmers into cutting down the acreage and holding the year's crop for the minimum price fixed by the growers in convention at Fort Worth. The stockholders of the Denver and Rio Grande and its subsidiary lines have voted the issuance of $150,000 in bonds. The money will be used in paying for construction work between Salt Lake City and San Francisco. The remarkable success achieved by Orville Wright in his record-breaking airship flights at Fort Myer, are looked upon by French writers on aviation as the forerunner or beginning of the practical navigation of the air. Columns are devoted in the newspapers to the records of the American inventor, and it is unanimously predicted that within a comparatively short time the prize of $30,000 offered by the London Dally Mall for, a flight from London to Manchester will be captured by the Wrights. Alabama pig iron manufacturers announce the sale of iron for delivery during the first quarter of 1909 at $14 per ton, No. 2 foundry, which is from fifty cents to one dollar per ton above the prices which are now prevailing for immediate delivery. All furnace companies are quoting this year iron at $13 per ton and car lots, delivery within the week, bring $13:50 per ton. No. 2, foundry. The aggregate of sales for delivery during the last quarter of this year is so large, it is given out, that there is necessity for blowing in all of the furnaces which are about in condition. An electric truck, its movements absolutely controlled by wireless electric waves, has been installed in the yards of the Union Pacific railroad at Omaha, where its operations startle the uninitiated. Many people are startled to see the motor truck, attached to several other trucks, heavily loaded, start along the tracks or suddenly stop without any apparent cause, making its way through the big yards unattended. By the terms of the will of H. L. Hewitt, filed at Alpton, N. Y., the bulk of the estate, valued at $22,000; was left to foreign and home missions, under the control of the American Baptist Home Mission society and the American Baptist Mission union. In a boiler explosion in the Laura mines at Alx La Chapelle, France, five men were killed and a score injured. Washington. Surgeon General O'Riley of the army has announced the appointment of George Dawson Heath, Jr., of Lancaster, S. C., as a first lieutenant in the medical reserve corps. Mr. Heath recently took the examination for a lieutenant's place and was successful. Orders have been issued by the navy department transferring Assistant Naval Constructor R. P. Schlach from duty at Norfolk to Charleston. He will not report at Charleston, however, until October. An appeal to the supreme court of the United States has been ordered by Attorney General Bonaparte to be taken from the recent decision of the circuit court of appeals decisions declaring the commodity clause of the Hepburn act unconstitutional. The brief will be prepared by Special Counsel L. A. Wilmer and will be presented to the supreme court at the October term. Inspector Harrison, in charge of the Washington division of postoffice inspectors, has received a telegram from Inspector J. B. Robertson, at Newport News, Va., stating that he had caused the arrest of James T. Reed, assistant postmaster at that place, on the charge of embezzling $6.440 of the postal funds General. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1908. SOUTH CAROLINA LOSES TEMPERANCE IS -NOT -AIDED By Dispenary—Holda 11th Amendment Never Contemplated That a State Could Engage in Liquor Traffic. Richmond, Va—Covering every phase of the South Carolina dispensary case, in an exhaustive opinion, which deals with the broad question of state's rights, the United States circuit court of appeals handed down an opinion fully sustaining Circuit Judge Pritchard in the appointment of receivers to wind-up the affairs of the liquor monopoly long maintained by the Palmetto commonwealth. The decision is a matter of paramount importance in South Carolina, where the dispensary has long been the object of attack. Its failure to serve as a temperance measure, along with charges of graff, caused a revulsion of feeling, which resulted in the passage of a law to abolish it as a state institution, at the same time permitting towns and counties to decide by popular vote vote whether or not they desire to retain it under local or county management. The decision is a voluminous one, and holds that the proceeding is not a suit against the state, and that the complainant is not forbidden to maintain his action by the eleventh amendment of the federal constitution. It holds that the framers of that amendment to the constitution never conceived that a sovereign state could engage in the liquor business and become a trader by buying and selling an article of common traffic in competition with the citizens of the country. The court questioned, therefore, whether the state was exercising a governmental prerogative or performing a function necessarily or properly incident to its autonomy as a state. It declared that the funds in controversy, which the complainant clams it should be paid from, being in the hands of the commission charged with the duty of abolishing the dispensary, the state has no interest in so much thereof as lies necessary to pay the just debts. The members of the commission, according to the court, hold the funds in trust for payment of all just debts of the state dispensary and the creditors of the dispensary 'have a property interest in the funds in the hands of the commission to the extent that the debts are shown to be just and a judicial determination of the true amount of such debts can in no way effect the rights and interests of the state." The suit, said the decision, is not against the state, nor is the state an indispensable party. Referring to the opinion of the supreme court of South Carolina that a suit against the dispensary commission was a suit against the state, the decision refuses to adopt that construction. CAR OF-POWDER EXPLODED. Seven Persons Instantly Killed and Thirty Others Injured. Windsor, Mo.—Seven persons are dead and thirty injured, four of whom are not expected to live, as the result of an explosion of a car of black powder at the Missouri, Kansas and Texas station. When it became known about town that a car of powder was on the tracks at the station, a number of curiosity seekers, a majority of whom were negroes, assembled. A. F. Hershberger a Missouri, Kansas and Texas freight conductor, became annoyed at their presence. In moving a keg of powder some of the explosive fell over. Seeing it on the ground, Hershberger remarked, "I'll show you how to scare negrões," and he lit a match and threw it into the powder. Instantly there was an explosion that shook the town, knocked one end off the depot and shattered windows and stopped clocks for miles around. The car containing the powder was hurled in every direction. NIGHT RIDERS BUSY IN ARKANSAS. Reported Farmers Organize for Purpose of Reducing Cotton Acreage Jonesboro, Ark—Night riders' are organizing in northeastern Arkansas, It is reliably reported, for the purpose of reducing the cotton acreage for next year and compelling the holding of this year's crop for the minimum price set by the International Farmers' union convention, which met at Fort Worth, recently. Three farmers in Craighead county and one in Poinsett county have been threatened by a band of riders, and considerable anxiety is felt by the cotton buyers and ginners. To Raise Price of Cotton. New Orleans, La.-The Southern Cotton, Association will begin active work to increase the price of cotton unless present low prices improve quickly, according to a statement of President Harvie Jordan, of the Southern Cotton association. Mr. Jordan said that the present prices of from 1-2 to 8-34 cents per pound were low the cost of production and lower than last fall, when panic conditions prevailed. With returning, prosperity he said, and deterred by the crop of the crop, rise, and, he added, that unless they did so, the association of which he is the head will begin an active campaign for such improvement. THREE NEW BAILROADS. Moultrie Will Have Large Increase in Its Railroad Facilities. Moultrie, Ga. — Moultrie is again threatened with the invasion of a number of small railroads, and the outcome of these projects is being watched with interest. A charter has recently been granted the Sparks and Moultrie railroad, which will use the bed of a road that was built a number of years ago, but never/chartered, and later taken up and put down between Moultrie and Tifton. There is a road coming this way from Adel, and is already built more than half way. It is the property of a large sawmill interest, and it is coming along at will, and with the avowed intention of coming in Moultrie before it stops. Another road is being built this way from Fort Gaines via Arlington, Newton and Camilla. All these roads are independent of Moultrie's capital or Moultrie interests. In fact, none of them have asked for subscriptions or encouragement whatever from Moultrie, though such encouragement will be extended at the proper time. While there is much uncertainty in railroad building, and especially at this time, when business is somewhat depressed, it is likely that Moultrie will have one or more additional railroad outlets in the course of another year or two. THROUGHOUT THE STATE. Lewis Cooksey, the little boy indicted for murder and train-wrecking, having, it is alleged, wrecked the train on the Southern railway near Buford when Engineer Ben Dewberry and his fireman lost their lives, was tried by a jury before Judge Charles H. Brand at Lawrenceville and acquitted on both charges. Americus near-beer dispensers have steadfastly refused thus far to pay the state tax demand. Not one has yet registered and settled. Some of the dealers express hope that the brewers may yet undertake legal proceedings by injunction or otherwise, thus at least delaying the collection of taxes. The waterwarks and electric light systems at Canton soon will be completed and water and lights furnished the citizens under a fine system at very reasonable rates. The sowerage system will be installed later. In view of these improvements and conveniences the town is taking on renewed life and dwellings are in great demand in that city. Richard E. Ramset, one of the prominent farmers of the Augusta section fell from the third story window of the Genesta hotel in that city, breaking his neck. There seems to be doubt that the tragedy was the result of an accident, the lights being out at the time, Mr. Ramset was 63 years of age and served in the Confederacy in the army of northern Virginia for three years. He was one of the most extensive farmers in Columbia county and his home was at Phinizy, GA. The Savannah lodge of Elks opened their new club house on Golgetrhorne avenue west. The club was formerly the residence of Colonel Bienre Gordon and it will make a palatial home for the order. It has almost been entirely furnished by donations from the membership. Lemuel B. Norton and B. P. Phillips, well known members of the legal profession in DeKalb county, and A. H. Flake, manager of the light plant in Decatur, were indicted on three counts by true bills handed down by the DeKalb grand jury at Decatur in connection with an investigation of the protest sled by supporters of S. A. Morris, recently defeated by Hooper Alexander in the race for representative from that county. From a reliable source it is reported that the car manufacturing plant of the South Atlantic Car and Manufacturing company at Waycross will resume operations with a large force on October 1. One order is already in hand of the company, with a larger one in sight. Working full force, the plant will employ between four and five hundred men. Postmasters for Georgia appointed: Ambrose, Coffee county, Ivy W.Poorman, vice J. R. Cox, resigned; Slocumb, Jones county, John W. Brown, vice J. M. Childs, resigned. Members of the vaudeville troupe that appeared at the Lyric theater in Macon attached the scenery, props and everything about the theater on account of back salaries owed them by the management. It is claimed that over $500 in salaries is owed to the actors and actresses. An increase, of about 20 per cent marked the total registration of the LaGrange public schools over the registration on opening day of last year. Patents issued at Washington to residents of Georgia: Plant for handling baled cotton, J. R. Fordyce, Atlanta; guard for car windows, J. S. McKenzie, Atlanta; envelop, T. S. Corbitt, Kirkland; adjustable stand, J. W. Rice, Atlanta; ratary engine, L. M. Singleton and C. E. Maddon, Alpharetta. The baseball fans will be glad to know that there is a probability of seeing the two great Georgia-American players in the great international sport during the state fair at Atlanta. The proposition is that Cobb and Rucker bring two opposing teams to play the national game at the fair grounds, they to pick out the best players from the American, and National leagues that can be secured. The matter has been taken up with Cobb and Rucker, and it is more than probable that the arrangement will be effected, and that Cobb will postpone his Japanese trip till after the fair. THREE FATAL WRECKS 8 KILLED AND 86 INJURED Passenger Train in Mississippi Derailed. Excursion Train in Illinois Telescoped. Alabama Log Train Jumps Trestle. Clarksdale, Miss.—Four persons are known to have been killed and twenty-six were injured in a wreck on the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railroad two miles south of here when two coaches of a passenger train rolled down an embankment. The known dead are; Mrs. Virgle Graham, Glendora, Miss.; Miss Amber Russell, 17 years old, Anding, Miss.; Mrs. Robert M. Gay, Glendora, Miss.; Unknown White Woman, whose body remains under the debris. The train, upon approaching Clarksdale, was behind, and, while running at a very rapid rate or speed, the chair car and a day coach left the track. The wreck, it is said, was caused by the expansion of the steel rails after the engine and advance cars had passed over them. Samson, Ala.—The log train of the Henderson-Boyd Lumber Company was wrecked about five miles north of Samson, killing three persons outright and injuring twenty more. The dead are: J. O. Stephenson, white a convict guard; Joe Wise, white, laborer; Albert England, negro convict. The engine was pushing a train of empty cars, and the wreck occurred on a trestle with a steep grade on either side. The engineer was scalded, but the fireman escaped unhurt. The engine and entire train left the track. None worked more faithfully than the convicts, and the three dead bodies, with all of the injured, were removed by them from the wreck, and carried to Richford on a relief train. Chicago, Ill.—A Chicago woman is dead and a number are dying and over forty persons were injured as the result of a rear-end collision at Chesterton, Ind., between a theater train, running out of Chicago, and the rear coaches of an excursion train, running from Chicago to Indianapolis. At the time of the collision, a great cloud of smoke from the forest fires hung over the tracks, making the rear lights in the excursion train dim and shutting off a view of the tracks even a hundred feet ahead of the suburban train at the time the trains came together. The suburban train was running at greatly reduced speed, owing to the haze, or the injured list would, have been greatly increased. MORE CEMENT FOR CANAL Work on the Locks Will Be Delayed Until July, 1909. Washington, D. C.—A contract for furnishing the isthmian canal commission with 80,000 barrels of cement in addition to the 4,500,000 barrels already contracted for with that company, has been awarded to the Atlas Portland Cement Company of Northampton, Pa. It has been hoped that the work on the locks at Gatun Mirroires and at Paco Miguel would be commenced about January 1, as the original invitations for furnishing the commission with cement contemplated that the deliveries in large quantities should begin them, but as the work of excavations for the foundations of these locks has progressed, it has been found desirable to make them deeper than was at first thought necessary, in consequence of which actual construction work will be delayed until July next. FUNDS FOR VICKSBURG PARK. States Have Made Appropriations for Monument to Soldiers. Washington, D. G.—According to the annual report of the Vicksburg National Military Park commission, a total of $797,000 has been appropriated up to this time by the various state legislatures for memorials, monuments and markers, to certain persons and organizations. Of the state appropriations, Illinois leads with $260,000, Iowa has $150,000, Wisconsin $130,000 and other states various amounts down to $5,000. Union and Confederate memorials both adorn the park. A warm tribute is paid to the memory of Commissioner Lieutenant General Stephen L. Lee, who died May 28, last, and by whose death "the country lost a good and great citizen, the commission an efficient worker, and each of its remaining members a dear personal friend." It has been proposed to erect a memorial in the park commemorative of the services of the union navy in the operations of the Vicksburg campaign and for the construction of such a memorial an estimate for an appropriation of $200,000 is submitted. Army Under Charges. Havana, Cuba.—The Union Espanola in an editorial, alleged that the United States army was smuggling into Cuba great quantities of meat, thus escaping payment of duties. Governor Magoon has ordered an investigation. He will institute proceedings against the paper if it fails to sustain the charges. Child Sent to Prison. Maysville, Ky.—Chester Savage, aged 13 years, was sentenced to six years in the penitentiary for the assassination of his uncle, two years ago. The boy hid by the roadside and shot his uncle. He is the youngest murderer, ever known in Kentucky. OF POLITICAL INTEREST: William H. Taft and William J. Bryan, rival candidates for the presidency of the United States, will meet at Chicago October 7, at a banquet given by the Chicago Association of Commerce. Eugene W. Chafin, prohibition candidate for president, spoke to a large audience at Portland, Ore., during the course of his address, of which prohibition formed only a part, Mr. Chafin declared that never in the history of the country were there so many great questions to be settled, and declared that neither the republican nor the democratic party were able to grasp the situation. The republican campaign textbook for 1908 has been issued by the republican national committee. It is a volume of five hundred and thirty-six pages and contains in detail an explanation of the questions that are under discussion in the present presidential campaign and the attitude of the republican candidate thereto, contrasted in some cases with the present or past attitude of their democratic opponents. Aiming to become at once a factor in Minnesota politics, the independence party has selected a state ticket to be placed before Minnesota voters. William W. - Allen of St. Paul has been named for governor and Roscoe B. Higbee of St. Paul for lieutenant governor. Invading the Foraker stronghold, Judge Taft addressed two meetings at Sandusky, Ohio. The first was at the Soldiers' home, and the second at the opera house, where a large audience assembled. Taft's visit is expected to heal the break of the two factions in Ohio politics. Both speeches were extemporaneous. It now appears that Admiral Cervera thought he was talking about the late General Shafter when he announced his hearty support of Taft for the presidency. William Jennings Bryan when asked if he had read the, Labor day speech of William R. Hearst replied that he had not but he understood that Mr. Hearst had made some criticism of him, "I am fighting Mr. Taft," said Mr. Bryan, "Either Mr. Taft or I will be elected, If Mr. Hearst will declare that he is endeavoring to help elect Mr. Taft and Mr. Taft will endorse Mr. Hearst as a representative of republican ideas and Mr. Hearst's 'methods of campaigning' I will answer Mr. Hearst, otherwise I do not feel called to do so." With the rival political forces engaged all along the line on land, naval warfare began at Chicago when the cruiser Theodore Roosevelt, which in times of peace is a huge excursion steamer, left the Chicago river manned by republican speakers and some four hundred members of the Marquette club, a republican organization of that city. Four states will be touched by the boat during the cruise. Mr. Bryan, has informed the national committee that he desires, that traveling men's bureaus be established at state headquarters in all debatable states. Congressman Lilley of Connecticut who brought about the congressional inquiry into the Electric Boat company's method of getting government contracts, has been nominated for governor of Connecticut. The purpose of the republican campaign book, it is stated, is to furnish in concise form for reference such information as is likely to be required by speakers, writers and others participating in the campaign. Subjects likely to receive special attention in the campaign, such as control of corporations, the money panic and the relief afforded by the treasury department, wages and prices, tariff, the Philippines and the work of the army and navy are presented as fully as practicable. Judge Alton B. Parker, democratic candidate for president in 1904, has declined to accept the nomination for governor of New York, Judge Parker in declining stated that it was his desire never again to hold public office. Chairman Hitchcock of the republican national committee has been notified of the withdrawal of Judge Wright, the nominee for governor of one of the republican factions in Tennessee. This leaves a clear field for Tillman, the nominee of the other republican faction. It was said at national headquarters that the withdrawal of Judge Wright would unite the republicans of Tennessee, and that a determined effort to carry the state would be made. Giving a detailed statement of the amount of property owned by him, which he placed at $150,000 at the outside, William J. Bryan, democratic candidate for president, in a speech at Oney. III. declared as false the accusation of Speaker Joseph G. Cannon that he was worth a million dollars, and called upon the speaker to be as frank in making known to the world the amount of his own earthly possessions. Professor Aaron S. Watkins of Ohio prohibition nominee for the vice presidency, like E. W. Chafin, the party nominee for the presidency, is making a whirlwind tour of the United States. Seldom have there been two standards bearers for any party who have displayed a dash and go equal to that shown by these two on their campaign. Both seem to be equally untriring. Tentative proposals for a joint debate between William H. Taft and William Jennings Bryan in Cincinnati September 23 have been received at both camps. The present plans are for a Bryan meeting on that date. In Cincinnati. Taft has no date and the chances are for bringing the campaign to a climax. According to reports, Bryan will accept the deed.

Royal College of, Organists, England, and built by the Hope- Jones Organ Company. It is the re- sult of twenty years’ careful thought and experiment. ‘ The Auditortum in Ocean Grove ‘willseat 12,000 people: In buildingan organ for a hall of this size. it has hitherto been the custom to divide it into five portions, knows respectively as the great, swell, choir, solo and pedal organ, each with its quota of open and stopped dlapasons, gambag, flutes, reeds, etc,. For the sake of gaining increased power, these were again duplicated, there belng usually four open diapasons.in the- great or- gan alone. All’ this in the Ocean Grove organ {s ‘swept away, and the pipes are grouped According to their tone quality as diapasons, flutes, strings and reeds, each division in a separate swell box, made of brick and cement and closed at the top by lam- inated lead shutters, - A stop entirely new to this country called the dia- phone—invented by Mr, HopeJones —occupies a fifth box, open at the top without shutters. The largest pipe is thirty-two feet long, of invert- ed pyramid shape and, four feet in diameter at the top end. The tone fs produced by what 1s called a resona- tor and vibrating valve, which yields a majestic volume of firm, horny, di- apason tone, providing a glorious pedal base. It is also used on the manuals for solo purposes. And the front of the organ fs a brick wall! This, however, is relleved and or- namented by three towers of dummy pipes. The keyboards are situated about ten feet in front of the organ, the player sitting facing the audience with? his back to the instrument. ‘There are four manuals, of sitty-one notes each, and a pedal.board of the unusual compass of thirty-two notes. Instead of the usual draw-stops the tone 1s controlled by means of stop- ikeys (originally invented by Br. Hope-Jones and copied extensively by other builders) which are arranged in anu inclined semi-circle around the manuals. There are no bellows, the wind being supplied by electrically- driven fans and,compressors, which deliver the wind at pressures of ten, The Night Watches at Sea By Carr. A. T. Seana: U.S. N. How much ‘a watch offered to an eye thht ‘loved nature! I have been Dored so often by descriptions of scenery, that I ‘am warned to put here a sharp check on my memory, lest it run away with me, and my readers seek escape by falling off. I will forbear, therefore, any attempt at portraiture, and merely mention the superb aurora borealis which 1l- luminated several nights of the au- tumn of 1859, perceptibly affecting the brightness of the atmosphere, while we lay becalmed a little north ot the tropics. But other things 1 shall have some exeuse for telling; Decause what my eyes used to see then few mortal eyes will see again. ‘Travel will not reach here; for though here and there a rare sailing sbip is kept in the navy, for occa- slonal instruction, otherwise they have passed away forever; and the exceptions are but curiosities—real- ity has disappeared. They no longer have life, and are now but the spect- mens of the museum. Tne beauties of a brilliant night at ‘sea, whether starlit or moonlit, the solemn, awe- inspiring gloom and silence of a clouded, threatening ‘sky, as the steamer with dull thud moves at mid- might over the waste of waters, these ¥ need not describe; many there are that see them in these rambling days. These eternities of the heav- ens and the deep ablde as before, are common to the stgamer as to the sailing ship; but what weary strain of words can restore {o imagination the, beautiful Hving creature which leaped under our feet and spread her wings above us? For a sailing ship was more inspiring from within than from without, especially a ship of war, which, as usually ordered, per- mitted no slovenliness, abounded in the perpetual seemliness that en- hances beauty yet takes naught from grace. Viewed from without, unde nlably a ship under sail possesses ‘attraction; but it Is from within that you feel the ‘very pulse of the ma- chine." No canvas looks so lofty, speaks so eloquently, as that seen from ,its own deck, and this chiefly has ‘invested the sailing vessel with its poetry. This the steather, with its vulgar appeal to physical com- fort, cannot give.—Harper’s Weekly. . Old Laws of Indin, ; Some of the old laws oz Nepal, In- dia, were curious. Killing cows ranked with murder as a capital of- tense, “for tnstance: Every- girl at Dirth' was married -with great vere- mony to a betel fruit, which was then cast into a sacyed stream. As the fate of the fruit was uncertain the girl was supposéd never to become a widow. To obtain divorce, from a husband a wife had only to place a betel nut under his pillow and de- part. In Nepal’ the day {s considered to begin when {t is light enough to count the tiles on the roof or distin- guisb the hairs on a maa's bond against the aky, te twenty, twenty-five and fifty inches. Tho hishest pressure hitherto used in any organ has. been twentytx inches, and the pressure on the ayer- age church organ Is only three Inches. By means of‘ the swell dhutters it is Possible to control the immense vol- ume of tone produced by theso press~ ures, so that the tuba mirabilis of fitty-inch ‘pressure, which at full pow- er is almost ear-splitting, can be used to accompeny the human volce. The designer modestly announces that this organ contain§ only elghteen stops. Some of these, however, are mighty ones, consisting of ninety- seven pipes ranging ‘from thirty-two feet to a few inches in length. By means ‘of the electro-pneumatic ac- tlon it ta possible to play them on any of the four manuals at thirty- two, sixteen, elght, four or two-foot pitch. The touch fs as light as that of a grand pianoforte. By pressing extra hard on any key it sinks anoth- er quarter-inch and the stops drawn on another manual come Into play. This device may be used for bringing out a melody or for sforzando chords. There are 103 sounding stop-keys controlied by seventy-elght mechant- cat devices. : George L. Miller, F.R.C.O., Eng- Jand, a well known New York organ- Ist, who is intimately acquainted with the organs fn St. George's Hall, Liv- erpool, England, and the Town Hall, |S¥anex, Australia, hitherto accounted the largest In the, world, unhesita- tingly affirms that‘the Ocean Grove organ equals them in beauty-and va- riety of tone, and surpasses them in power. Yet it contains only 1312 pipes, as against over 8000 in each of the others! This, through avolding unnecessary duplication. ‘A father was once chiding “ils son for taking two girls out for the day on a certain hollday occasion. Said he: “You should have taken out only one girl and Kissed her twice. It would have cast you Jess money!” So with this organ. The builder has taken one diapason and given It twice, thrice, yea, even five times the ordinary pressure of wind, and so ob- tained the effect of five rows of pipes. And it has cost less money. The Liverpool organ “cost $50,000; the Sydney organ $60,000; the Ocear Grove organ only $27,000, and the results are better, all the solo stop: being expressive. ‘The organ was inaugurated on the evening of July 3, by a brilliant rect tal by Mark Andrews, F.A.G.0., A.R.

The enlightened and public- spirited president of the company, however, the late A. J. Cassatt, de- clared himself heartily in agreement with the project. He looked at the question from the point of view of an American citizen, appreciating that 4f Congress intended to make of the mall what the founders of Washing- ton intended it to be, no rallway should be allowed to cross it. His consent to a new location was also Justified from a strictly rallway point of view. With the carrying out of these plans, Washington will be made the most beautiful capital city in the world, and will correspondingly at- tract increased travel thither, greatly to the profit of the rallways. In architecture and in site the new sta- tion is one of the finest everserected, even surpassing the splendid ter- minals that characterize the large cities in Germany.

Howells, in the New York Sun. ‘Thig:{s the turtle that furnishes tho tortoise-shell, also called caret. These shells are worth from $5 to $20 a pound, according to thickness and markings. A turtle boat is ordinarily-a little ‘schocner about thirty feet long and fourteen féet beam, but of course ‘they vary in size. They are seawor- ‘thy ‘and simple in rig. The mer- chants of Nassau fit out hundreds of these vessels, each of which carries a number of small boats, with two men to.each boat, a cook, who has charge of the vessel when the men are off after turtles, and an extra man on the larger vessels. The usual equipment {s about as follows: For fifteen tons or smaller vessels, fivé boats and eleven men: twenty tons, elght boats and eighteen men; thirty tons, ten boats and twen- ty-two men, The,small boats are about eleven fpet long, flat-bottomed and quite seaworthy. When not in ‘use they are nested amfdships on each side of the mast. ' Each small boat fs equipped with an oar for sculling, a water glass, 2 wooden box twelve inches long and ten Inches square, in one end of which Is fitted, water-tight, an ordin- ary window pane; fifty or sixty fath- oms of light rope attached to a coni- cal net sir feet deep with six-by-elght- inch mesh, at the bottom of which fs a half-inch tron hoop four and one- half feet in diameter, and weighted with lead. ‘When the vessel reaches the hunt- ing grounds, the boats are put over and scatter about for a mile or more. Each boat has an expert turtler, who les at the bow with his face close to the water glass, which is immersed three or four inches under the surface of the water. Through this he searches the‘bottom from six to twen- ty or thirty fathoms below, which In those clear waters {s plainly visible. ‘The man in the stern sculls the boat, the fisherman signaling with with his bare feetthe course he wants taken. When he sees a turtle he carefully lowers the net and drops it over his game, which immediately tries to escape, but becomes entan- gled in the meshes and is soon land- ed In the boat. As the hapkbitl ts hunted for the shell on its back, when taken aboard the vessel it is killed and the shell fs removed.

THE TRIBUNE will print an honor roll of the colored men of this county who registered in order to vote against disfranchisement. The climbers to the peanut gallery are in evidence again. Where is the pride of our women when they dress in their best and sit in the peanut gallery. The registration book closed on Thursday. Was you name written there? If not, your are less than a man. Your children and other people's children will grow up and curse you for such a lack of race pride. ORGANIZATION and unity are elements our people should greatly enjoy. The lack of them is the reason for our slow progress in life's battles. As a unit we should organize to secure a school building We need one badly. We need it worse than the talked-of new building for the Massle School or one for the East-siders. The ministers of the city are to be commended for coming together in an interdenominational organization. It has only been since eight years ago that there was a division among the ministers. Their coming together is commended. Let them now act for the good of the entire people. It would not hurt for them at their next meeting to tell their experience and find out how many of them have kept the promise they publicly made not to jim crow. Now comes time for every race lover to labor in order to get out the voters on Wednesday October 7, in order to vote against disfranchisement. We should not only get out all of our voters, but endeavor to also induce our white friends to see the injustice of the disfranchisement act and vote against it. The feeling in this state between the races is as cordial as anywhere else in the country and there is no reason for the opposite race to pass such a restriction upon us. We appeal to every friendly white voter to consider our cause and vote against disfranchisement. ABOUT two years ago several meetings were held in this city, protesting against the enactment of the jim crow street car law. Present at these meetings were many preachers and prominent citizens. It was inspiring to hear them give vent to their feelings and declaring that they would never submit to the jim crow law. They were applauded, and many were the hearty amens! But alas! we are sorry to admit that some of these same preachers who were loudest in their declarations along with some laymen, were the first to become "buzzards" and are still clinging to the carrion by jim crowing. "Tis too bad that a few of our leading ministers and men are not consistent and cannot stick to a principle. What can we expect from the masses when they act that way? Those of us with pride are still walking. If we had remained off of the cars as we begun, by this time there would have been some compromise. Shame on the weaklings. Mr. BRYNN complains that Mr. Taft is stealing from the Democratic platform and writing things into the Republican platform which are not their. Why not pay, him back in his own coin? Thus the Republican platform has something to say about the Negro, while the democratic platform is studiously silent. Let Mr. Bryan, then, put something about the negro into his personal platform.—Springfield Republican. Mrs. R. L. Barnes, G. W. C. Order of Calanthe K. of P. of Georgia issues a strong appeal from her office in Savannah, Ga., asking aid for Augusta sufferers and requests that donations be sent to Dr. G. N. Stoney Augusta, Ga. The Georgia Baptist thanks Mrs. Barnes for her kindly interest in behalf of the suffering thousands of our city.—Georgia Baptist. The Niagara Movement. The Negroes of the Niagara Movement, who met the other day in Oberlin to the number of "about fifty delegates representing eleven States," have presented a very brief address to the Negroes of the country. The first recommendation is this: "We say to voters: Register and vote whenever and wherever you have a right. Vote, not in the past, but in the praasent. Remember that the conduct of the Republican party toward Negroes has been a disrespectful failure to keep just promises. The dominant Roosevelt faction has sinned in this respect beyond forgiveness. We therefore trust every black voter will uphold men like Joseph Benson Foraker, aid will have no stone unturned to defeat William H. Taft. Remember Brownsville, and establish next November the principle of Negro independence in voting, not only for punishing enemies, but for rebuking false friends." Doubtless it seems to these strenuous men, wise to rush into the arms of their worst foes for the sake of rebuking their lukewarm friends. Some folks will bite off their nose to spite their face, will cut off the leg to cure a corn; but Senator Foraker can advise them better.—The Independent, New York. St. Benedict's School. St. Benedict's School. St. Benedict's school, Gaston and East Broad streets, will reopen Sept. 28, 1908. The school needs no recommendation. The efficient work accomplished in the past, especially in the last year has won the praise and the admiration of all those who have sent their children. St. Benedict's school not only gives a thorough elementary education, which by no means is inferior to that of any public school, but it also imparts to the children a solid moral training. It forms that character of "our little ones" and prepares them for the great battle in life. The very presence of the "brown robed" Franciscan Nuns has a salutary influence on the children. The good sisters who spend day after day in the humble classrooms of their schools, do not work for any worldly interest and glory, but theirs is a work of devotedness and of love to the children under their care. The work for the Divine Friend of the children, for Him who said: "Suffer little children to come to me, if theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven." Their noble task is, whilst imparting a solid secular knowledge, to make our children champions of all that is high and noble and to make them Christian men and Christian women of the people. Let therefore, the colored people of our city, who care for the priceless gift of a good education, and who appreciate its value and importance, send their children to St. Benedict's school. Let them entrust their little ones to the tender and motherly care of the Franciscan Nuns. Free from care and anxiety, their parents may then attend to their daily work, with the sweet conviction that their children are sheltered from all danger under the fostering solicitude of the good sisters. Concerning the regulations of the school apply to St. Benedict's Rectory, 518 East Gordon street or to the Franciscan Convent, Gaston and East Broad streets. Mt. Olive Baptist Church At a grand rally at Mt. Olive Baptist Church on the fifth Sunday in August, the meeting was called to order by the Pastor, Rev.

He is very popular among all classes of our people more particular among our young people. Rev. Lindsay's text was Gall 4-6 subject "The spirit of adoption or if we are of Christ it is because we have been adopted in Christ." This was a grand discourse and Rev. Lindsay compared our adoption in earthly families with the adoption in the family of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. This subject was interesting to the Christians as well as beneficial and information to the sinner. At 8:30 p. m., there was also a large crowd out.

Nagah used as subject "The danger of looking back" on Sunday at 11 o'clock. At night his subject was "Thankfulness and unthankfulness."

Wright was ordained as pastor of the First Bryan Baptist Church. He was recently called to succeed the late Rev. G. W. Griffin, D. D. Mr. Wright is an old member of the church, in fact was raised up there and years ago showed a strong inclination spiritually. His election to the pastorate of this old historic church was made nearly unanimously, and it was inspiring to note the enthusiasm with which his admirers supported him. The ordination service was conducted under the auspices of the executive board of the Berean Baptist Association of which Rev. W. Gray is moderator. The ordination sermon was preached by Rev. H. Maxwall; the charge given by Rev. H. L. Haywood; ordination prayer by Rev. C. Priester and presentation of the bible by Rev. Wm. Gray. This service was largely attended and enjoyed by members and friends of the church. At night Rev. Wright preached an interesting sermon for which he was commended by his hearers.

Spencer, south of the city. The weight is four and three pounds respectively. All who saw them praised Mr. Spencer for his agricultural ability even if he is an amateur. If these potatoes were allowed to remain in the ground until later, several pounds would have been added to their weight. This shows what can be done by a proper tiling of the soil.

I am very much inclined to believe that the average hen does not produce eighty eggs in twelve months. I believe the average hen at the average experiment station does not produce 110 eggs per year. Or would expect that at the various experiment stations and colleges which The groundhop, or woodchuck, can be easily trapped at the mouth of his burrow, or he can be easily killed by using bisulfide of carbon, the liquid being poured on a handful of any absorbent material and pushed down the burrow, closing all, openings. They usually have two or more openings to the burrows. The vapor that comes from the bisulfide of carbon is heavier than air and will settle to the bottom, killing all that are present.—Mrs. A. C. Palmer, in the Indiana Farmer. Vermin Remedy. The following recipe for carbolated kerosene emulsion, it is said, is not only a vermin killer, but also imparts an odor to the hen house that is effective in the cure of cases of bad cold and discharges of mucous substance from the nostrils: Half pound ordinary/ laundry soap, one gallon water; one quart kerosene oil, four ounces crude carbolic acid; cut the soap in small pieces and drop into the water and boll. When it comes to a boll remove from the fire and add the kerosene. Shake or stir the mixture until nearly cool. Put away in a well covered vessel until wanted, at which time add about twelve to fourteen quarts of hot water and the carbolic acid and mix well. Use a spray once a week.—Correspondence Farm Magazine. Buttermilk From Skim Milk. The best and most palatable kind of buttermilk can be made from skim milk in the following way, writes Prof. O. F. Hunziker, of Purdue University, Ind.: Allow the skim milk to sour and curdle, either by adding good starter or by letting it sour naturally, at a temperature of about seventy degrees F. When the curdling has reached the stage where the milk begins to whey off, put it into a churn (auy kind of churn will do for this) and add about one-fourth to one-third of jelly-bulk of buttermilk to it. Even smaller amounts of buttermilk will answer the purpose. Now churn the mixture until the curd in the skim milk is completely broken up. The churning should be continued until all the lumps have entirely disappeared, and the mixture has become homogenous. This is usually accomplished in from ten to fifteen minutes. The contents of the churn are now ready for consumption. This preparation is by far superior to buttermilk made in the ordinary way. It has more body, is smooth and velvety, and has a mild, rich and agreeable buttermilk flavor, which is highly relished by the consumer. Union standing, the curd does not separate off and whey off as readily as is the case with the ordinary buttermilk. Fall Pigs For Spring Market. Fall pigs for Spring Market. The subject of feeding fall pigs though the winter is an important one. Of course, to begin with, one wants a good, dry, warm place well ventilated for the pigs to be in, and then see that they are well fed. I fed two last winter. I butchered them the last day of February, and as dressed hogs were $7.25 per hundred-weight, they brought me $24.36, weighing 172 and 176 pounds dressed. The butcher I sold them to said they would have weighed about 220 pounds on foot, but I think about 200 pounds would have been about right. They were six months and four days old when butchered, and I consider 200 pounds for summer pigs at six months old pretty good. Of course, there are lots of winters more severe and harder on stock than last winter was, but I believe it was as cold as sixteen-degrees below zero. When I begin feeding pigs I like to give them all they will eat of different kinds of feed from the time they are taken from the sow. To feed pigs on corn alone they will not thrive as well. I like to have ground cornmeal mixed with wheat bran cooked in a mash, occasionally, for them. Ground wheat would be better for them. I think, and I also have found ground oats a splendid feed for pigs, as it is a bone and muscle producer. I also like to give them bran slops quite often with the feeds mostly warm, as they will relish it much better. I also like to feed them shelled corn in their trough, as it is much better, way to feed it than to throw ear corn on the ground or even on a board floor made for that purpose as they will wallow it around in the dirt and waste, some of it, and of course what dirt they eat does, not help them along any faster. I always aim to feed my pigs and also give them drink three times a day. I am feeding four for the spring market, for which I am expecting a good little profit unless the price goes below the averaged to what it has been in the spring for the past few years.—Thos. A. Davies in The Epitomist. Number of Eggs in Year. Prot. Graham, of the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph, says: I find it a very difficult matter to meet an accurate idea of the number of eggs that the average hen in the province of Ontario produces in a year. I am very much inclined to believe that the average hen does not produce-eighty eggs in twelve months. I believe the average hen at the average experiment station does not produce 110 eggs per year. One would expect that at the various experiment stations and colleges which are scattered over the United States and Canada they would get probably as good an average production, as on the poultry farm. They have many conditions present which are not present on the average farm, and they have other conditions that are probably more favorable. Considering all things, we should get somewhere near the average production at the experiment station. "I have come to the conclusion that the average production is somewhere about 100 eggs. At the Malne station they had a' production of 120 eggs per hen on an average. They have been working on the trap nest system for a number of years, and as far as I know, their record last year was 134 eggs per hen which means that they had a gain of about fourteen eggs per hen over earlier records. I think that you produce a wonderful improvement by selection in the first one or two years, and after that progress becomes slow. You must have a great many conditions favorable to make advancement. From what Prof. Gowell has told me, they had not used any males in their breeding pens that have not been produced from hens that produce 200 eggs per hen per year. All the hens, in their breeding pens have been bred from hens that laid 160 eggs per year, so they might be termed strong producers. No hen is used for breeding purposes until after her egg record has been known for twelve months." Market Demand For Hogs. Before the annual meeting of the National Association of Expert Swine Judges J. J. Ferguson, of Chicago, gave an illustrated lecture on the market demands for swine. In part he said: "Of necessity packers can have no choice as to breed or color, since there is a place and use for every grade of hog coming to the Stock Yards. The market almost any day will show a range from the heavy sow or stag weighing 700 to 800 pounds down to the light shipper pig of forly to fifty pounds weight. The demand for hogs of various weights and the prices paid depend upon the market for lard and provisions. When the supply of lard is short the price of lard advances and consequently heavy lard hogs are in demand, with prices correspondingly advanced. If at any time the market for lard is slow and the supply ample the light-weight hog suitable for producing high-class hams and bacon will bring top prices. "Under average conditions the hog worth the most money in the open market will weigh from 200 to 250 pounds. He should be smooth and evenly covered, without any excess of fat over the shoulders, along the back or on the hams. Good length and depth of side is desirable since the side mat is cured into bacon, which sells for more money than any other part of the hog carcass. "Those qualities most desirable in pure-bred hogs for breeding purposes are also in demand by the packer, viz., smooth, even quality, with even fleshing, and an absence of coarseness of any part or surplus development of bone. "The tendency of the time is steadily toward lighter and leaner cuts of meat. Farmers will find it much more profitable to produce the early maturing middle-weight packer hog above mentioned. "In this connection it is interesting to note the leading experimental stations have clearly demonstrated that the gains made by hogs up to this weight—200 or 250 pounds—are made much more economically than those put on after the hogs have passed this weight." To Increase the Yield. Here are some suggestions from Board's Dairyman to the farmer hinting at the course that he must follow if he is to improve his dairy herd and derive greater profit. The farmer must make up his mind to read more and know more than he has known about the true meaning of his business. He must breed better, stop buying poor, cheap bulls and the production of poor cows. The fountain head of better quality in the cow is the character of the sire. Create better conditions in the stable. Give the cow better air to breathe, better food to eat, good water to drink and cleaner conditions to live in. Weed out the cows vigorously. Don't slow about it. Dry them off and sell them to the butcher. Buy the best heifers of the best cows you can find and start the making of a good cow on your farm. Don't think fifty or sixty dollars is too much to pay for a first-class cow, provided you are sure she is healthy. The men who come around to buy your good cows pay these prices, and ten to one if they don't get them away from you. A cow that will earn in gross fifty dollars a year pays big interest on her cost above the cost of keep. It amounts to thirty-three per cent. If you pay sixty dollars, assuming she costs thirty dollars to keep her, and it can be done for that easily if you have a silo and will grow alfalfa. Brave Scientist Makes Friends With Condors. There are still a few California condors that have escaped the rapacity of hunters for plumage and eggs, writes the San Francisco correspondent of the New York World. These birds, are an extremely rare species, entirely different both in size and plumage from the vulture of the Andes. The condor's total disappearance seems now to be only a question of years. In fact, it is believed that this species now numbers only thirty individuals. Before long the condor of California must join such extinct species as the epyornis of Madagascar and the drone of Isle Maurice. Its eggs, eagerly sought after by collectors, are worth from $250 to $300 apiece, a price that sufficiently explains why egg-hunters are willing to brave the dangers of almost inaccessible heights in order to reach their nests. William L. Finley is the young and active president of the Oregon Audubon Society, a league formed for the protection of wild animals still extant on American soil, whose future is threatened by hunters and trappers. Convinced that a full study of these rare birds would prove an invaluable document in view of their expected disappearance, Mr. Finley determined to make a personal investigation as to their habits and has put his project into execution. Accompanied by a guide and equipped with a complete photographic outfit he left Marietta ranch, in Southern California, on March 10. His objective point was the San Bernadino Mountaing. Next morning he reached the entrance of the canyon of Carnello, where he had been informed by Indians that two condors had been sighted. Condor is Discovered. After a two hours' climb up ragged cliffs he found himself on top of the mountain. The search commenced amid a mass of denuded rocks and a labyrinth of ravines and precipices. The two men were on the point of giving up the quest when the idea occurred to Mr. Finley of firing three pistol shots. A few minutes after the triple explosion had awakened the mountain echoes the Mexican "uttered a cry of joy. Some thousand yards in front a bird of huge size, risen from the canyon, poised itself on the top of a rock. Then, resuming its heavy flight, it described a number of circles and disappeared further away in the depths of the abyss. But not before Mr. Finley had identified it, through his glasses, as a condor. According to the experienced Mexican the nest must be somewhere in the immediate neighborhood. Regaining confidence the two men struggled on to reach the ravine in which the bird had disappeared. Clinging to the edges of the rocks along the almost perpendicular mountain side they at last reached it. Again Mr. Finley fired three shots. Ready to Pounce on Them. Suddenly, a few yards above them, they heard a great fluttering of wings. Looking up they saw the bird, with bristling plumage, perched in front of the opening of a crevice, as if making ready to pounce upon them. As they had come only to observe they took care not to further anger the cohdor, which) on its side, did not stir. The first part of their program had been realized by this happy encounter. As the bird did not fly at sight of the hunters the crevice undoubtedly sheltered its nest. Within that nest there must be an egg, perhaps ready to hatch. Mr. Finley was able to convince himself of this fact by scaling the rock on which the condor was still keeping guard. On a bed of dry leaves and feathers—that is all a condor's nest consists of—he was able to discern a large bluish egg. Buoyed with hope he retraced his steps down the perilous descent with the intention of returning again. On his subsequent trip, which was delayed three weeks by bad weather, clinging to the roots of shrubs and the corners of rocks—having first taken the precaution to attach his companion to him by a long rope—Mr. Finley reached the slab which formed a sort of terrace before the crevice. This time he surprised the condor on the nest. He noticed a bare, pink head and its ferocious looking eyes. And he could hardly repress a cry of joy when the mother, rising to her feet, uncovered a little ball of white down, still sticky with albumen amid the debris of egg shells. But the light was too feeble in this cavity to permit him to use his camera successfully. How could he persuade the newly born to come and pose in the open? Not yet was it strong enough to lift itself on its rosy talons. And the mother, her eyes afame, seemed preparing to defend her progeny with beak and claws. Handles the Fledgling. Mr. Finley did not abandon his task. Advancing inch by inch he crawled toward the end of the crevice. He arrived so close to the mother that he could have touched her by extending his hand. Emboldened, he delicately took hold of the little one, and slowly pushed himself backward toward the terrace. He deposited the price in the sunlight, and after taking five snapshots, brought it back to the enraged mother. Close Photographs. Little was required to turn this first victory into disastrous defeat. The male companion came rushing to the spot in full flight. Would he be as complacent as the mother? For one moment Mr. Finley expected that the bird would pounce upon him. He hovered a few feet above the naturalist's head, guttering raucous cries. But an energetic waving of the photograph's tripod disconcerted him. He took refuge some distance away on the highest branch of a tree, while Mr. Finley and his companion beat a hasty retreat. On his return from this expedition Mr. Finley telegraphed to one of his friends, H. Bohman, a professional photographer, who hastened across a thousand miles to join him. On April 11 the two friends set out together. They had reached the approaches-to the nest when a large stone, loosened by Mr. Finley's foot, fell with a crash to the bottom of the canyon. The noise drew the mother bird out of the crevice and she perched upon the branches of a dead tree. As she showed no disposition to return, after a quarter of an hour of waiting the friends climbed along the cliff to the foot of the tree and put their apparatus in order. At that moment the male came flying at full speed and perched near his companion. Then followed a curious scene. The female, crawling along the branch, put her head under the neck of the male with a caressing gesture. He responded coldly to this conjugal advance, turning away his bald head with an air of boredom and drawing back as she approached until he had reached the end of the branch. He was forced to unfold his wings in order to leap above her and regain his foothold on the other side of the branch. This little incident put an end to his ill humor. The two condors perched side by side for a long and tender exchange of caresses before winging their way together into the shadows. A visit to the youngster was now in order. Mr. Finley found that it had grown considerably. As big as its egg seventeen days before, it now just fitted the naturalist's hat. Its down, which had previously been of a dazzling, white, had now taken a greyish tinge. The pink of its head and neck had turned a vivid yellow. The sight of Mr. Finley wrung from it strange cries, followed by stifled whistling. It even sought to defend itself with its beak against the hands which bore it to the outer ledge. While the photographer was fixing his apparatus Mr. Finley stood on guard, his eyes toward the sky. Thrice had the instrument clicked when a barely perceptible speck in the heavens grew bigger with astonishing rapidity. The male condor was rushing, to the rescue, followed speedily by his consort. Again the pair contented themselves with a hostile demonstration, and the men withdrew in safety with their precious films. Baby Bird Still Antagonistic. A new expedition on April 25 surprised the mother bird asleep beside her progeny. This unexpected delay enabled them to set their apparatus in order. Then they awoke the condor with a whistle and she sailed slowly away to her accustomed perch on the dead tree. The next visit was paid on May 15. The nestling, now fifty-four days old, had grown as big as a chicken. Its body was covered with a thick gray down, whence feathers were sprouting. Anger swelled its neck, the breath, which it exhaled in furious whistles, filled the crevice with stifling odors, and its beak would have torn Mr. Finley's hands had they not been protected by gloves. On June 11 naturalist and photographer were again in the crevice. Though the young condor, now eighty-two days old, defended itself more vigorously than ever, its parents had become accustomed to their presence. They no longer protested as the strange visitors approached the nest. They even allowed themselves to be photographed from a distance of five feet. At the last visit, July 4, the mother carried familiarity so far as to take Mr. Bohman's sleeve gently in her beak. She had become as mild as a pet cat. The two friends had been amply rewarded for their pains. After four months of watching over the nestling and its parents they had been enabled to study from life the habits of a species doomed to speedy extinction and to bear away with them the photographs. Competition For Engaged Couples. Nearly a hundred engaged couples took part in a novel shooting, competition which has just concluded at Argovie. The competition was limited to tolvers who were engaged and willing to be married as soon as possible. The distances were 200, 500 and 1000 meters, and the scores of each pair were added together. The prizes were a complete marriage trousselle for the woman and 240 for the man. The winners were a young man named Glauser, and his fiancee Louise Mathys, aged nineteen.

In a recent publication by the Department of Commerce and Labor, dealing with the cost of hauling farm produce from the farm to the nearest shipping point, it was shown that on account of bad roadways the cost was often greater than would have been the freight by railroad across the continent. The great railroad systems of the country in normal times spend millions annually and in the aggregate hundreds of millions in improving their roadbeds and equipment, in straightening out tracks, lessening grades and otherwise reducing the cost of hauling. The amount thus spent in improvements is largely in excess in some instances of the total net earnings for a decade. The necessity for the improvements are recognized, however, and they are made. The more progressive States of the Union follow the same course in regard to the public highways. They are the highways of the people. Every dollar of improvement and every day of work put upon them increases the value of all the property along such highways. Good roads add to the comfort and well-being of all the people, whether they live in town or country. A systematic and extensive program of road improvement is the sure index of a progressive and prosperous community. It is estimated that ninety per cent of, the farm crops of the United States are hauled by wagon. The average haul of all farm crops is twenty-five miles and the average cost twenty-five cents a ton mile. It is estimated that good roads throughout the country would reduce the cost to ten cents per ton mile. In other words, the saving in the wear and tear on vehicles and farm stock, saving in time of the farmer and the increased weight of each load, would reduce the expense of transportation by wagon sixty per cent. On cotton alone the saving would be, 15,000,000, on wheat $10,250,000. In view of the tremendous cost of highway improvement, it is natural that the individual States have inclined to look to the Federal Government for aid. There are 2,000,000 miles of roadway in the United States, of which less than two per cent are improved. One means by which the aid of the Government is sought to be secured is by having Uncle Sam improve the roads over which the mail is carried. There are 925,000 miles of dirt roads now traversed by the rural routes. In some instances routes have been entirely abandoned on account of the impassability of the roads. The power of Congress to "establish postoffices and postroads" has been held to include dirt roads, and thus the way is open for the Federal Government to engage in highway construction. During the last session of Congress thirty bills were introduced seeking Government money for road improvements. Mr. Bell, of Georgia, favored the establishment of a good roads bureau in the Agricultural Department and the appropriation of $10,000,000 annually for highway improvement. Mr. Bourke Cockran, of New York, presented a bill providing for the construction of a national boulevard from ocean to ocean along the line of the thirty-fourth parallel of latitude. Other members had other plans, but none of them received a favorable report. They were pigeon-holed in committee. The United States is waking up to the loss caused by bad roads. The farmers are taking hold of the matter, and that means an era of roadway development and improvement is at hand.—Atlanta Constitution. Broadless America. From the maledictions scattered broadcast in the mire of roadless America by despairing bicyclists fifteen years ago hopes of better things have taken root. No gift of prophecy is now required to foresee a time when these hopes will have so far materialized that a team, if it is a good one, will be able to haul an empty wagon over the gumbo roads of the Mississippi Valley in spring, and the public highways of the South will be so well buoyed that light draught automobiles may navigate them in comparative safety. From every part of the country comes the same encouraging news. Sixteen States now have highway commissions that are trying in various ways to supply the greatest need of the nation, which is good roads. At one extreme is New York, which, in 1905, voted to expend $50,000,000 in building roads. Under the plan adopted the State will build and maintain 3332 miles connecting the principal cities, and pay one-half the cost of 4700 miles of local roads to be built by the counties. At the other extreme is Iowa, the third State in the Union in extent of road mileage, where the use of the public highways is so vast that if teams enough could be assembled to do in one day all the traveling done in the State in a year the line would reach once and a half around the earth, which does out an annual appropriation of $5000 to defray the expenses of the State college faculty while acting in the capacity of highway commission. — Technical World Magazine. Night Sweats & E. W. Walton, Conder, S. P. By., 717 Van Ness St., San Antonio, Tex. writes: "During the summer and fall of 1892 my annoyance from catarp reached that stage where it was actual misery and developed alarming symptoms, such as a very deep-seated cough, night sweats, and pains in the head and chest. I experimented with several so-called remedies before I finally decided to take a thorough course of Peruna." "Two of my friends had gone so far as to inform me that the thing for me to do was to resign my position, and sock a higher, more congenial climate. Everyone thought I had consumption and I was not expected to live very long." "Having procured some Peruna I decided to give it a thorough test and applied myself assiduously to the task of taking it, as per instructions, in the meantime." "The effects were soon apparent, all alarming symptoms disappeared and my general health became fully as good as it had over been in my life. . . "I have resorted to the use of Peruna on two or three occasions since that time to cure myself of bad colds."

I think of a boy with the literal directness of a small Briton, the despair of his humorous father. A systematic course was begun; in the hope that the child's life might be broadened and brightened. Each week one or two evenings were devoted to a careful explanation of the jokes as they appeared in three of the humorous weeklies of the better class. Puns were avoided, as they were more easily detected and often enjoyed, while the father had no desire for a punster son. At first the evenings were strenuous, disliked by both; to the humorous side, so potent in the onlooker, father and son alike were oblivious. But at twenty-five while he is not an original joker, none can excel this young man in the ease and quickness, with which he detects a hidden meaning. The initiative seems not to be granted him, but a fund of enjoyment is his which undoubtedly would have been lost but for his consistent training.—From Good Housekeeping. SAME OLD GAME. "That young man stays until an unearthly hour every night, Doris," said an_irate fathpr to his youngcst daughter... "What does, your mother say about it?" "Well, dad," replied Doris as she turned to go upstairs, "she says men haven't altered a bit."—Life THE PALE GIRL Did Not Know. Coffee Was the Cause. In cold weather some people think a cup of hot coffee good to help keep warm. So it is—for a short time but the drug—caffeine—acts on the heart to weaken the circulation and the reaction is to cause more chilliness. There is a hot wholesome drink which a Dak girl found after a time, makes the blood warm and the heart strong. She says: "Having lied for five years in N. Dak, I have used considerable coffee owing to the cold climate. As a result I had a dull headache regularly, suffered from indigestion, and had no 'life' in me." "I was known as the 'pale girl' and people thought I was just weakly. After a time I had heart trouble and became very nervous, never knew what it was to be real well. Took medicine but it never seemed to do any good. "Since being married my husband and I both have thought coffee was harming us and we would quit, only to begin again, although we felt it was the same as polson to us. "Then we got some Postum. Well, the effect was really wonderful. My complexion is clear now, headache gone, and I have a great deal of energy I had never known while drinking coffee. "I haven't been troubled with indigestion since using Postum, am not nervous, and need no medicine. We have a little girl and boy who both love Postum and thrive in it and Grape-Nuts."

In perplexity the disct- ples asked of Jesus. “Why could not We cast him out?” and Jesus replied, “Because of your unbellef; tor verily I say unto vou {f ye have faith as A zraia of mustard seed —nothing shall be Impossible unto vou.” In casting out the world’s deviis and in alleviat- ing the woes of humanite, nothing shall be impossible—and this is the program of Jesus. “Doing what ean- not he done” fs the program ot Jesus. “Faith as a grain of mustard seed.” “All things are possible to him that delteveth.” Faith laughs at imnoscibilities, ‘And cries it shall be done. “Jesus never - despises a little faith.” On that, Iate afternoon on ‘the banks of Galliee, when the multi- tude was hungry and the town was far ‘away. Jesus, to test Philip, in- quired: “Whence shall wo buv bread that fhese may eat?” and mathemat- Seal Philip thought that two hundred pennywelght would not be suffictent. *Then Andrew forabrief instant bad a vision of faith as he suggested that thore was a lad there who had five barley loaves and two fishes: but An- drew, too, quickly adopted the arith- metical process and dlsconsolately added: “But what are thev among so many?” Jesus, however, did not dis- ‘count or overlook Andrew's mo- mentary vision and faith; and on the basis of Andrew's “little faith” the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand was verformed. It was faith as a grain of raustard seed only, but it accomplished the impossible. ‘Tertullian once sald of an event: “It fs certain because ft 1s tmpossi- ble,” and Richard Cobden, when told that a certain thing was Impossible, replied: “If that is all, let us set about it at once.” General Arm- strong, of Hampton, said: Doing what cannot be done is the glory of living,” and his great schools for In- dian and negro youth became poss!- ble. Carisle impatiently wrote: “Im- possible! It is not a lucky word! Who fs it says there is a lion in the way? Sluggard, thou must slay the Non; the way ‘must be traveled!” Mirabeau shouted: “Impossible, that Diockhead of a word!” And the great Napoleon characteristically declared: “Impossible! It is not a French werd. Genlus is the art of overcoming tae tmpossible!” Christianity is the art of overcom- ing the impossible. Impossible is not ia the vocabulary of the Christian. ‘This fs the program of Jesus. Christianity has already achieved the impossible in the overthrow of tke vast Roman Empire. To destroy the power and glory of Rome as they appeared two thousand years ago in- trerched In impregnable fortresses and defended by ever victorious Roman legions, seemed an impossible result. Christianity has achieved the tm- possible in the final eradication of/ human slavery, a diabolical inatitu- tion culmfnated in the customs, for- tunes, constitutions, conscience and traditions of men. ‘So, indeed, shall the day surely come ‘when uations shall not learn war any more. And, when taat prophecy of Isaiah shall have been fulfilled, whieh commands, “Loose the bonds of wickeduess and undo the heavy burdens,” then the accursed Hquor trafic will be over- thrown, and the deadliest thraldom which kas ever blighted manhood will be ended. ‘This damnable trafic in strong drink fills the prisons with criminals, the hospitals with the in- sane, and the poorhouses with pau- pers. “Recently a great brewery com. | pany of this country has published in ita paid advertisements a libelous | statement that the founder of Moth- -odism favored the manufacture and sale of lquors as a beverage.

Drummond says one peculiarity of Masonry is that it teaches by sym- bals. This idea is so fully carried out that every ceremony, every badge of office, every article of Masonic cloth- ing and furniture, in fact, everything upon which the eyes rest, and gvery sound which reaches the ear in the working of the lodge, are intended to teach or impress upon the mind of the initiate, a precept or principle of Ma- -sonry, though to the profane they may be ‘meaningless. A young man, who had beeii ballot- ed on and accepted, and expected to be initiated soon into a Masonic lodge in a country town, was standing in a store under the lodge room one even- ing when a member, a man weighing ‘about three hundred pounds, acciden- tally caught his foot in the carpet and fell with great force on the floor, shaking the building so that one of the hanging lamps in the store fell down. The young man, thought that the Masons were initiating a candi- date, and sald¢ “When those fellows upstairs go to playing Korse with me, {21 stand just so much, and then Won't take another thing of any of them!” MORE LIGHT NEEDED. “I cannot too strongly impress ‘upon masters of lodges a .proper ob- servance Of the duty of instructing the the brethren in a knowledge pf our mystic art. The master and the‘lodge who confine their efforts to the mak- ing of Masons have no higher con- “ception of thelr responsibilities and duties than those of ‘anyother class of beings who have no regard for any other consideration than the perpetu- ation of their kind, If the sole mis. sion of Masons were to make other Masons, then, indeed, might the utill- ty of our mysteries be doubted, We are called upon to live up to the prin- ciples we profess, and to make daily adyance In Masonic knowledge. There is no lack of suitable Masonte litera- ture, as, for Instance, in our annual reports and in the writings of our owa and of other chairmen, of forelgn correspondence committees, and we have, ‘fortunately, in all other Mason- ic--‘districts, well-skilled craftsmen, whose assistance in the work of con- yoying sultable instruction to the brethren; in the shape of papers and addresses upon Masonic subjects ould, I am quite convinced, if sought for;,be ever at the disposal of wor- shipful masters and the brethren over whom they preside."—Edson Fitch, .Grond Master, Quebec, i « MASONIC IGNORANCE, xe ‘Maconicignorance is inexcusable.

On a recent oc: casion a person claiming to be a Mason presénted himself for admis- sion to a lodge. He had a receipt for dues for the current. perlod, yet when confronted by the examination com- mittee was lterally ignorant of all ultualistic work, No one knew him or had sat in lodge with him,,, The receipt, however, may or may not have beendissued to him; but, if gen- uine, he could not be admitted to vistt ‘on that alone, he must prove himseit. ‘There are many such. A remedy for ‘this ignorance would be to hold fre- /quent “School or Instruction” jn the Yodge and require that every member attend and participate.

THE .IDEA FARFETCHED AND FOREIGN TOTALLY INCOMPAT- IBLE WITH PQPULAR THOUGHT AMONG NE- « GROES.° , That a Negro of the South should advocate a slump of the Negro °vote to the democratic party without even a pledge on the part of the leaders thereof, is totally incompatible with popular thought among leading Ne- groes. - = Regardless of aggravations, and con: tumacies heaped upon the Negro, at sundry times and in divers ways U7 ‘all parties and some individuals, the time has not yet arrived when a change of party can be rationally in- dulged by the Negro South. For what- ever of beneficent, national legisla- tion comes to us as a race, we must, now, and for some time to come, ex: pect it from and by maans of the re- publican majority in the congress of the nation. “And even for the matin: tenance of legislative rights now ac corded us, whether these rights are or are not guarded, we must expect that the republican party prohibit their nullification until such a time of the Ife of the nation that these laws will efforce themsélyes by com- mon consent, . Should the ,idea come Into the heads of the Negroes to cast their Tot among’ their democratic friends, the objectionable primary and the ever. recurring agitation in advocacy of distranchisement, would preclude tho possibility of a reasonable discussion regarding the matfer, In ‘spite of many facts which, might*force favor- able considerations. rélatiye-to the matter-such as.-the unqueationable friendliness -of “fhe southern whites towards us, the congeniality of ife, to Jan extent, among them and’ the per- fect knowledge of both races regard- ing the nature each of the other, there are other and vital reasons which vit- fate even the inception of such an idea, > ‘The South has continuously argued the incapacity of the Negro to even discern the differential ne between the worth and worthlessness of an as- pirant for office or political prefer- ment, In doing“this they do not ex- clude the intelligent among us; nor do they judge the race by them; but upon the ‘contrary, they measure ‘the whole race by the ignorant and vic- fous, Weowlsh it was different. Now the North, to an extent, méasures the Negro by his worth in morals and in- |telligence, recognizing these acquist- tidns ‘in each individual casé‘and ac- cords preferment accordingly. And fhetein Hes the cause for adherence to the republican party by the Negro of the Sotth. Natlonal issues, to the Negro, pale into insjgnifcance when méasured by‘these vital facts, espec- fally, when,.in a manner, the issues of the two great parties are upon a plain in politics’ whereon there is a “distinction without a difference.” We abjure political affronts and dis- criminatfons as much as anybody can, ‘and feet the terrible sting of the lash of the bastinad6 of the administration, whenever and wherever it has been wielded. But we cannot reason 6ur- selves from the fact that ip swapping horses it is wise to reckon of the ad- vantage to be gained in the exchange and how the advantage can be profit- ably used. % One reason advanced as,to why we should bolt from ‘republicanism is that republican use for us is quadren- nial and that the utility of the Negro ceases with the count of the last bal- lot of a campaign. This allegation may be partially true; but is not and hever was absolutély.true, Crum, De- veaux, Rucker, Vernon, Anderson and many others whom’ we shall not stop to mention offer in refutation of the claim, And then there are those who contend in the congress of the nation for certain rights for the Negro, which popular thought. in various other sec- tions of the union condeinns, regard- lesa of the fact that safd rights are ‘ednstitutional rightg: “The agitators, in$such, instances; ‘are sdherents of republicanism and hence the Negro ‘seé3iwisdom in cleaying to the repub- fican’ party. And this reason seems reagonable to me and to all Negroes who, in’ the Nght of! conditions; will stop and think. =~ In making decisions to do an act that may radically ugsettle or change conditjons hitherto existing,.it-[s' well to consider carefully the. power of the dispenser of what wé,hope’for. It would be wise to,askhow the. advan- tage will come .and..to-what7extent; ‘Now the democfatic ‘nomineé, lke thousands of’ democrats ii the'South, Noiseless Guns. Br Hiram Percy Mazim. . and it might be well to consider for a2 moment sonie of>the advantages. The matter 1s of the broadest possible interest-and therefore should be considered broadly. The defence and offence of man for countless centuries have 3 been the striking of a blow at a distance. The early savages struck a single man power blow at-a distance of a few yards by means of an arrow shot from a bow. Mediaeval man struck a ten man power- blow at 2 moderate distance by means of a large stone hurled from acatapult. Re cent man struck @ blow of several tons at a considerable distance by the ald, of gunpowder and a metal bullet. Modern man strikes a terrific blow across ‘miles of space- with th accuracy and precision of a hand pointer, with mod- ern high explosives and a rifled gun barrel. With a Heht shoulder arm, not yery much larger or heavier that 9 robust wallting stick, a man today may deal out death a mile and a half away. 5 Having produced guns which wili shoot as far as a man cari see effective- ly, further Improvement In nieans of defence and offence must Ue along new lines. The first step.in the new line was the production ‘of smokeless powder. ‘With this in place of the old black powder no, puff of smoke was formed at discharge. and location of positién became possible of determfnation only by tne\poud of discharge. Tho next logical step in the Ine of improvement was the isifencing of this sound, and this has now been accomplished. Location of position has thus become for the first time in history impossible of de- termination. i { ‘The wars of the future wil! be ‘wars of concealment. Engineering kill will be more than even called upon. An invader, even though he may be the stronger In numbers, may only advaice before 4 weak defender, under, concealment. Advance will be Infinitely more difilcult than it over has, been, In short, with the silent rifle, victory will be immensely more difficult for the assailant to win, wiiile repulse will be immensely more easy for the defender to administer, * ° ‘This is very far reaching in its possibilities. Existing territorial occupa- tion will be more difficult to disturb, The weaker will have less to fair from the stronger, Had men had silent firearms and smokeless powder in the past, England’ might. not have conquered the Boers and occupled the Transvaal, the Japanese might not have Invadea Manchuria and driven out the Russlans, if indeed the ;Russians had been able to secure their original foothold, nor the Germans have crossed the Rhine aad entered France. Certainly, {t seems safe to say that any means whereby the weaker-are made more nearly independent of,the stronger tends toward the settlement of disputed questions by peaceful’means rather than by force, The ‘silent rifle and smokeless powder of course constitute force; but we must have force} if peace ts to be forced.

And the real issues of the campaign from, a viewpoint not of a Negro, but of an American citizen, having, at heart the welfare of all the people, what point of excellence in the way of declarations has the democratic platform over that of the republicans? The-old principles of republicanism are, again, enuncfated—the principles under which the country has made tremendous progress in the past.
