VOL. XXIV. RAISE PRICE OF COTTON TO HOLD TWO DAY'S SESSION Outiders Invited to Meet With Union Men to Help Put Up Price of Snowy Staple. Union City, Ga.—The Farmers' union intends to boost the price of cotton, and to this end, which will mean so much for the south, President C. S. Barrett has issued an official call to the national board of directors, all state presidents and representatives from all county, parish and local unions in the cotton bell, to meet in session at New Orleans, November 11. The union will hold an executive session on that day, and on the following day, all southern people interested, and willing to aid in raising the price of cotton, have been requested to be present and lend their support. The Farmers' Union, having a membership, as it does, of every prominent planter in the cotton belt, generally does something when its meets, and this time, when the gavel raps for order and all heads get down to business, the price of the snowy staple is bound to grow by several cents. NEW STAMP DESIGNS. Patterned to Obtain Greater Simplicity Commensurate With Merit, Washington, D. C.—The bureau of engraving and printing has completed designs suggested by Postmaster General Meyer for a new issue of United States postage stamps. The new stamps will be of the following denominations: one-cent, two-cent, three-cent, four-cent, five-cent, six-cent, eight-cent, ten-cent, fifteen-cent, fifty-cent and one dollar. The two dollar and five dollar denominations now in use will not be reprinted. It will be some weeks before all the denominations will be put on the market. However, the two-cent stamp will be the first distributed, and it is expected that shipments to postmasters will commense some time in November. The new issue has been designed with the object of obtaining the greatest simplicity commensurate with artistic result. The profiles have been taken in each instance instead of full view, giving a bas-relief effect. All the stamps are of similar design, containing a head in an allipse, the only decoration being laurel leaves on either side of the ellipse. The lettering is in straight lines, at the top being "U. S. Postage," and at the bottom the words, "Two Cents." The one cent stamp contains the head of Franklin, while all the others will bear that of Washington, taken from busts by Houdon. Thus one of the most notable differences in the new issue will be the minimum of lettering. ·GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD. Park Commission Trying to Preserve It, in Its Original Shapé. Washington, D. C.-C to preserve in its original shape the features of the battlefield of Gettysburg, the Gettysbury National Park Commission in its annual report states that, in pursuance of the fixed policy of that body, large tracts of woodland have been purchased, old road lines have been so altered that they now parallel the lines of battle. The commission in carrying forward this work has kept in view the purpose of preserving the features of the battlefield as they were during the battle, and also rendering all parts of it accessible, particularly to military officials and others making a study of the positions and movements of the troops. UNIFORM BILL OF LADING. Railroads Will Notify Shippers of New Regulations. Chicago, *Ill.*—Announcement has been made that all of the 416 roads in official classification territory have arranged to address notices to shippers to the effect that on and after November 1, shippers using the new uniform bill of lading prescribed by the interstate commerce commission will be charged the regular rates provided in the "official classification." If a shipper shall elect not to accept the conditions of the new bill of lading and shipping order, the property will be transported at carrier's liability, limited only as provided by the common laws and by the laws of the United States and of the several states in so far as they apply, and the charge will be 10 per cent higher than the regular rate. BRAIN OF DR. WILDER. It Was Bequeathed to Professor in Cornell University. Newark, N. J.—The brain of Dr. Alexander Wilder, the journalist and author of many works on evolution, philosophy, psychology and medicine, was bequeathed to Professor Burt Green Wilder of Cornell University by the will of Dr. Wilder, which has been filled for, probate. Dr. Wilder was president of the school of philosophy of New York. He declared in his will IATE NEWS NOTES. General. I. H. Whaley of Knoxville, Tenn., was struck and killed by J. W. Green, a blacksmith. Green struck Whaley under the jaw with his fist and Whaley's head struck a railroad rail as he fell. Whaley died an hour and a half later. The national convention of the League of American Sportsmen, in tenth annual meeting at, Lawton, Okla., was addressed by Geronton, the famous Apache chief, through an interpreter. He deplored the slaughter of American game by white men. The jury in the trial of Uhland Culpepper at Opelika, Ala., charged with the murder of Mary Elvin Haden, who was shot and killed near Phoenix City, Ala., several weeks ago, by a bullet believed to have been intended for her father, returned a verdict of guilty. Culpepper was sentenced to life imprisonment. Six buildings were totally destroyed and a number of others damaged by a fire of incendiary origin at Olive Hill, Carter county, Kentucky. The loss is about $10,000. D. O. Seaman, a farmer, of Goldsberry, Mo., went to the district school called out his two sons, aged 10 and 12 years, respectively, shot one of them dead, mortally wounded the other and then shot and killed himself. The cause, of the tragedy is not known. George Harold, of the El Paso. Texas, city detective department, who worked up the cases there and in Chiuhua against the Mexican revolutionists, found a rudely constructed bomb at the front door of his residence with a charred fuse attached. Harold has received several unsigned notes informing him that he is marked for death. Several girls were slightly injured and one hundred more had a narrow escape from death when the ferry steamer Ariel, running between Walkerville, Ont., and Detroit, Mich., collided in a fog with the small freighter Energy. There were about one hundred girls, employees of local factories aboard the ferry, and a pane reigned among them for a few minutes. The store of the Merchants' Grocery company at Mobile, Ala., was gutted when fire broke out in the second story among paper bags. The building was damaged about $10,000, covered by insurance, and the stock is a total loss amply covered by insurance. Two firemen were injured. The Jenkins lumber mills plant at Blaine, Wash., was almost completely destroyed by fire. The loss is estimated at $500,000. A freight engine on the Southern railway exploded at Alayo, Va., killing the engineer and injuring the fireman and several of the crew. One-half of the business portion of Bonner, Springs, Kans., a watering resort, twenty miles west of Kansas City, was destroyed by fire, causing a loss of $100,000. After sixteen years of divorced separation, during which each had remarried and had each been bereft through death, an aged German couple in New York City, who were married in their fatherland forty years ago, procured a marriage license in order to at once re-enter for their declining years, the ties they had legally set aside so long ago. Conrad Knubert's second wife died in New York not long ago, and when he heard that his former's wife's husband had also died in Germany, he wrote the partner of his young years, asking her to come to New York and marry him again. She cabled her reply—that she was coming, and on the next steamer, and when she reached there the ceremony was performed at once. The women of Mexico have organized a mother's congress, which will hold its first meeting in December. The president is Signora Luz Gonzalez Casilo de Lopez and the object is to aid all mothers who need protection, advice or assistance. Thirty-one counties with a population of more than a million people, have voted to go dry in Ohio in the first forty-one days of the operation of the Rose county local option law passed by the last legislature, and within the next thirty days eight, hundred and thirteen saloons and wholesale liquor houses will have closed as the result. There are now thirty-five counties entirely dry in the state. The battle of Guilford Court House was reproduced at Greensboro, N. C., by United States cavalry, infantry, state militia and a Gatling gun. The result of the battle, like that fought in 1781, was in doubt, both sides claiming victory. Colonel S. W. Miner commanded the British, while Colonel J. W. Craig commanded the American forces. About 25,000 people witnessed the battle. Foster George was arrested in St. Louis, Mo. on a charge of stealing diamonds and watches worth $35,000 from S. F. Powell, a wholesale jeweler at 170 Broadway, New York. Twenty-five thousand dollars' worth of the jewels were recovered from George. The man was betrayed into the hands of the police by Mabel McCoy, a companion with whom he quarreled after refusing some of her requests for money. When the police raided George's room diamonds were found in overly possible hiding place, "he ra THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1908. PARLIAMENT IS MOBBED MANY PERSONS ARE INJURED One Women Gained Admission to the House of Commons But Was Bodily Thrown Out. London, England—The climax of the suffragette campaign was reached when an enormous mob hemmed in parliament, and stopped traffic in all streets leading to Westminster. For more than three hours the crowds scuffled good-naturely with the police, interfered, with theater-goers, broke windows and disorganized things generally in the center of London. The heroine of the day was Mrs. Travers Symons, formerly secretary to James Keir Hardie, the socialist and independent member of parliament, who reached the door of the house of commons by strategy. The house was solemnly debating a bill to prevent children from cigarette smoking, when the woman dashed past the door-keeper to a position in front of the speaker's chair, and shouted shrilly, "Leaye off discussing children and talk about women." Three officials seized Mrs. Symons and carried her-out bodily. As a result of the coup, an order was issued that hereafter women should not be admitted to the building on any pretext whatever. The appeal issued by the suffragettes a few days ago for 50,000 persons to help them "rush" parliament was the most successful stroke yet. Not less than twice that number responded to the call, and nine-tenths of these were young people. Parliament was in a state of siege. A close triple line of police was drawn around the three sides of the square in front of the building. The yard within the gates swarmed with police, and two hundred guarded the terrace in the rear against assault by water, which the women twice attempted. A small fleet of police boats also patrolled the Thames approaches. A delegation of thirteen suffragettes which approached the police cordon and was formally refused admission to parliament, attempted a football rush, but the police chivalrously repulsed the 'women' with the least possible roughness. Many persons fainted in the crush: some were trampled upon and taken to the hospitals. The suffragettes and unemployed kept practically the whole police force on duty continuously forty-eight hours. AMERICAN BALLOON FALLS IN SEA. Aeronauts Arnold and Hewitt of Uni- ter States Undergo Terrors. Berlin, Germany.—The second of the three American balloons that start- ed in the race for the international trophy, has met disaster in the North sea. The "Saint Louis." manned by N. H. Arnold of North Adams, Mass., and Harry J. Hewitt, was carried overland by treacherous air currents, and later in the haze the aeronauts saw lights of an unknown coast. This means that they must descend, or risk the danger of being driven far out of the track of vessels. They chose the former course, and for an hour they were buffeted by the waves, almost giving up in despair. Eventually they were rescued by a lifeboat, and the first intimation that air accident had occurred to the "Saint Louis" was conveyed in a wireless message from Arnold, saying "Lost everything in the North Sea last night." Following so closely on the dramatic experience of A. Holland Forbes and Augustus Post, the navigators of the "Conqueror," which burst at an altitude of four thousand feet, both men having a thrilling escape from death, the disaster to the "Saint Louis" was the subject of excited interest in Berlin. EXAMINATION OF BANKS Number Will Be Increased by Comp troller of Currency. Washington, D. C.—Comptroller of the Currency Murray has decided to increased the number of national bank examinations, in many cases from twice to three or four times a year. It is not his purpose, he says, to examine all national banks four or even three times a year, but the new rule will be made to apply to all national banks that have in the past shown a disposition to violate or evade any of the provisions of the national banking laws or the Regulations prescribed by the comptroller of the currency. Serum for White Plaque. Paris, France—Professor Lanlonge, of the University of Paris has discovered an anti-tuberculase serum which is said to be the most efficacious remedy of the kind ever used. Of eleven phthisical patients inoculated with the new serum, ten have either been cured or have shown improvement. Girl Said By Her Father. New, wunwick, N. J. - That she was sold for $100 and forced by her father to marry a man that she did statement made by WAR CLOUDS VANISHING. No Crisis Likely to Result From the Balkan Situation. London, England. — Belgrade, the storm center in the present Balkan situation, has quieted down. After a long secret session, the national assembly has taken no definite action with regard to making war upon Austria-Hungary. The city itself has quieted down, the people apparently realizing that war would mean the destruction of Servian nationality. A dispatch from Gibraltar says that the British Atlantic fleet, of six battleships is making ready to sail for the east and the destination probably is Malta, from which place the British Mediterranean fleet sailed a few days ago for the Aegean sea. Belgrade, Servia. — After a secret session lasting for more than twenty-four hours, the national assembly adjourned without having arrived at any decision in regard to its action against Austria-Hungary. The meeting was a very stormy one, and was interrupted by various recesses. War was demanded with Austria-Hungary, but the leaders of the war faction cooled down after Foreign Minister Milovaxonovics had made a statement in which he said that war was impossible. Thus, for the moment, the doing point in the Balkan crisis is passed, and Servia is expected to content herself temporarily by instituting a boycott against Austria-Hungary commerce in the way of revenge. Demonstration in the streets are becoming less numerous and less serious, and apparently the people are beginning to realize that war would mean the annihilation of Servia. Constantinople, Turkey. The porte has received replies from Great Britain, France, Italy and Russia, all favorable to the assembling of a European conference, and it is expected that Germany also will acquiesce in this. Kimil Pasha, the grand vizier, in a conversation with the Servian minister, strongly advised prudence and moderation: on the part of Servia. Demonstrations in protest against the Austro-Hungarian movement continue to be held in the large towns throughout Turkey, 20,000 people gathering at Adrianean for this purpose. SLID INTO THE MISSISSIPPL $75,000 Worth of Railroad Property Lost at New Orleans. New Orleans, La. — Seventy-five thousand dollars' worth of railroad property slid into the Mississippi river—when a section of earth 200 feet long and about 200 feet wide caved in, carrying along seven freight cars and four lines of railroad tracks, undermining the bank by high water being the cause. No lives were lost. The losses are divided between the Illinois Central railroad and the city, which owns the Belt railroad, and most of the real estate which sank into the river. The real estate loss is total, inasmuch as no filling-in will be done, the caved ground being given over to the river. Several docks were among the property loss. Later additional caving around the sides of the hole threatened to carry more land into the water. The freight cars were loaded, mostly with staves, much of which may be salvaged, owing to the shallowness of the water. NOTED SPEAKERS ACCEPT. Will Address Southern Commercial Congress in Washington. Montgomery, Ala.-G. G. Dawe, chairman of the committee on arrangements. for the Southern Commercial congress to be held in Washington, December 7 and 8, has announced that Dr. E. A. Alderman, president of the University of Virginia, has accepted the invitation to speak on education. John F. Wallace, formerly chief engineer of the Panama canal, will speak on the needs of southern railroads, and M. J. Sanders of New Orleans will discuss the harbors of the south. A. W. Noble, mayor of Laurel, Miss., has advised Mr. Dawe that Mississippi will be represented at the congress. FOREIGN MINE EXPERTS. Party Touring the United States Reaches Birmingham, Birmingham, Ala.—The party of foreign-mine experts now touring the United States to investigate conditions with a view to lessening the number of explosions in mines, has arrived in Birmingham, and will spend several days visiting the mines of this district. The party is in charge of J. A. Holmes of the fuel testing department of the United States government survey. It consists of Herr Carl Melsnes, chief of the German service; Victor Watteyne, chief of the Belgian mining service, and Captain Arthur Desbrough, chief expert of the British explosives commission. SEGRETARY GARFIELD DENOUNCED. Inventors Say Department of Interior Caused Loss of $200,000. Washington, D. C.-The International Congress of Inventors, claiming to represent 250,000 American patentes, is out with an open letter to Secretary Garfield, denouncing his administration of the patent office, his determination to destroy the old models there, and the contemplated sale of three hundred an one model cases, at what they term a "loss to the inventors and government of $200,000." The letter declares Garfield has made the interior department of the exterior CHILD HEIRESS STOLEN TAKEN TO NORTH CAROLINA It is Thought Girl is Being Carried to Sparta, N. C., Where Her Mother Lives. Chicago, Ill. — Margaret Frances Mitchell, eight years old, said to be an heliress to a fortune, was kidnaped while on the street with her grandmother. The little girl was snatched by one of three men in an automobile and taken away after the grandmother, Mrs. Caroline P. Mitchell, had been knocked down. The police are working on a clue that the child was taken out of the city, probably to Sparta, N. C. The kidnapping is said to be the climax of a prolonged struggle for possession of the girl. She has been living with her father, Robert Mitchell, at 1829 St. Lawrence avenue, while the mother, Mrs. Margaret B. Mitchell, has lived separately. The fortune was left to the girl by her mother's father. According to the story told to the police by the grandmother, threats of kidnapping previously had been made, and because of this she always accompanied the girl to and from school. She urged the police to search at Sparta, where, it is thought, the mother recently lived. COLONEL STEWART RETIRED. Roosevelt Locs No Time in Disposing Exiled Army Officer, Washington, D. C.—Colonel-William F. Stewart has been retired from active service in the army, as the result of President Roosevelt approving the report of the retiring board of army officers which found Colonel Stewart incapacitated for active service because of disability. The following announcement of the president's action was posted at the war department: "Colonel Stewart has been retired from active service by the president, upon finding of the retiring board that he is incapacitated for active service on account of disability incident to the service, under the provisions of section 1251, revised statutes." The president's action is that: "I know why I have been retired from the army, and I know who is responsible for it, but I am still an army officer and cannot discuss that." declared Colonel Stewart, when he received formal notification by special delivery letter from the war department of President's Roosevelt's action in ordering his retirement? BATTLE ATOP HIGH TOWER. Crazy Man Prevented from Jumping Off Williamsburg Bridge. New York City—At the top of the great iron tower at the Brooklyn end of the Williamsburg bridge, a thrilling struggle took place while hundreds of persons looked on from below. An insane man, who had eluded the tower watchman, climbed an iron stairway at the top of the tower, 533 feet above the East river, and was preparing for a leap into the river, when two policemen climbed up after him. The appearance of the policemen distracted the man from his purpose and he turned upon the bluecoats with a razor. The insane man rushed to attack them, and then on the narrow footing of the dizzy height a ten-minute battle took place, which held all who witnessed it speechless with horror. Finally he was handcuffed and taken, still struggling, down the tower ladders, trying at every step to throw himself and his captors into space. At the eastern district hospital, where the prisoner was taken, he gave his name as Joseph Kratz of Brooklyn. Will Reform Contracts. New Orleans, La.—With instructions to make reforms in the cotton futures contract of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, a committee has been appointed by members of the exchange. The committee was ordered to confer with farmers, brokers and cotton spinners throughout the south and with the men in the north who are interested in cotton to determine how to get, "the maximum trade utility" out of cotton futures contracts. Expulsion of American Lisbon, Portugal—Upon the representations of Charles Page Bryan, the American minister of Portugal, the minister of war has telegraphed to the governor of Angola, Portuguese, West Africa, demanding an explanation for the recent expulsion of an American missionary. Drowned in Vat of Wine. Santa Rosa; Cal.-Mrs. George Collier, wife of a rancher, was drowned in a vat of wine. The woman was visiting, the winery on, the Collier ranch and had climbed to the edge of a large vat partly filled with wine. In some manner Mrs. Collier lost her balance and fell into the vat. To Flight Probibition. Houston, Texas.-At a non-partisan convention held here addressed by delegates from every part of the state; including leaders, of both the democratic and republican parties, an organization was perfected to combat the prohibition movement in Texas. THE WEEK IN POLITICS. William H. Taft and William J. Bryan met at the Chicago chamber of commerce banquet for the first time. Mr. Bryan extended his hand as Mr. Taft approached and there was a brief conversation while the banquet hall was in a tumult. Later Mr. Bryan leaned over to Mr. Taft, and smilingly asked if he had enjoyed the day. Both made ort non-political speeches. The chairman of both the republican and democratic parties, after conferring with their presidential nominees, decided to concentrate the campaign on New York, Indiana and Iowa, with the heavy artillery trained on New York state the last week. President James J. Hill of the Great Northern declared that party lines are so closely drawn that it is impossible to predict the outcome of the coming election. Mr. Bryan heard and accepted as true, though refusing to comment on it, a report that President Roosevelt intended to make set speeches in New York, Indianapolis, DesMolines, Omaha, Denver and San Francisco, and probably speaking elsewhere from his train, Secretary Loeb said Mr. Bryan was misinformed; that the president would not take the stump. Congressman Longworth, who was reported to have been taken off the stump, on orders from President Roosevelt, because he stated in a speech that Roosevelt would be a candidate for president eight years hence denies the report. Governor Hughes has arrived in Chicago suffering from acute laryngitis. He was unable to keep his engagement to speak and his Wisconsin dates were cancelled. Governor Haskell in a letter explained the work he did in connection with the $18,000 fee he received from the Hocking Valley railroad. He said that he paid other claims out of the money and kept only a small part himself. W. C. Kronemeyer, organizer of the tin plate trust, and friend of President McKinley, whom he assisted, in framing the McKinley tariff bill, said the trusts are getting away from both big parties, and that nothing is being done to hold them down and declared for Debs. Governor Hughes, campaigning in Bryan's home city and surrounding towns, causally assailed the democratic nominee's policies as chimerical and dangerous. Sidney G. Tapp of Atlanta was nominated for president of the United States by the liberal party at its first national convention held in Chattanooga, Tenn. It is stated that there were eight delegates in attendance. The session was held in a bedroom of one of the hotels behind locked doors. Mr. Tapp called the convention to order as temporary chairman and made a speech. John Maddox of Minnesota was nominated for vice president. Mr. Maddox was also chosen as chairman of the national executive committee. Mr. Bryan spoke before the deep waterways convention in Chicago and then resumed stumping. His longest sneech, before Northwestern University students, included a bitter attack on executive interference in presidential elections. Mr. Taft registered in Cincinnati, consulted with Manager Vorys and went early "to a bed that stands still." After three days' rest he resumed his tour. Mr. Sherman, at Wesleyan University, a coeducational institution at Delaware, Ohio, said he favored coeducation. The prohibition national party is to receive $500,000 to carry, on its work against the liquor traffic, according to an announcement made at the Chicago headquarters. The fund probably will, not be available for this campaign. The bequest was made by Charles E. Latimer of New York who died at Palm Beach, Fla., September 26. According to the will the amount is left to his wife during her life and at her death is to revert to the prohibition party, under whose banner he was a veteran. Samuel Gompers criticised President Roosevelt for his defense of Judge Taff's labor record, and insisted that the candidate had abused the power of injunction. Eugene V. Debs spoke to Yale students at New Haven. In a parade which preceded the address 2,000 persons took part, among whom were many women. Thomas L. Hisgen and William Randolph Hearst spoke to an enthusiastic crowd of miners at Reno in the heart of the Nevada gold fields. The Independence Party's "flying wedge" is scheduled for speeches throughout the central states. Suffragettes made vain efforts to register as voters in New York. "Hurrah for Bryant!" was the greeting that Ma. Sherman was met with at Butler, Ind., coming from the lips of a pretty, young girl, whose eyes danced defiantly as she sent forth the challenge to the republican candidate for vice president, "My dear-young lady, you're not going to get left this morning, but you will in November," replied Mr. Sherman. Mr. Bryan denied a report that he has opposed pension legislation and has started on a stumping tour that will last until election day. In mid-October he will make seventy speeches in Nebraska. Standard-Oll lawyers have given out a statement denying in detail the statement of Frank S. Monnett, that while attorney general of Ohio the off company had tried to bribe him.

The editorial management of Charities has succeeded in infusing an element of humor into the publication, which will certainly help to attract lay-readers to the journal. The last issue contains a pot pourri of excellent jests, the best of which is the following, credited to Life: "Papa, what is charity?" "Charity, my son, is giving away what you don't want." "What is scientific charity?" "Scientific charity is giving away what you don't want to someone else who does not want it." "What is organized charity?"

The bodies of the men rho were led into a trap now rest on the brow of Custer Hill, which hes been converted into a aational cemetery. ‘The Governmént has erected an im- pressive monument of bowlders where Fetterman and his men fell, and there is a bronze shfeld thereon, telling of the tragedy in a few sim- ple words. + The Fetterman monument is on top of what is known as Massacre Hill, between Sheridan and Buffato, Wyo., a few miles north of the site _9f old Fort Kearny, which was the “first outpost of civilization in thet part of the West, and where General Carrington was practically besieged for two years by the gzeat chief, Red Cloud, who is now near death from -old age on a Dakota reseqvation. Fort Phit Kearny was established on the old Bozeman trail, over which many, ploneers were pushing their way ‘westward In the 60's. Travel aover this trail was very dangerous, and hardly a wagon train passed through the hunting grounds of the Sioux without being attacked. When the fort was established Red Cloud and his warlike braves were furibus and renewed their attacks upon the White men with reduubled vigor. General Carrington himself superin- tended the building of the fort. He; made a strong stockade, which sur- rounded the buildings and parade ground and constituted an impreg- nable defense. Red Cloud was too ‘erafty to try ‘to assault the fort, but he laid constant stege to it, and no- body dared venture beyond the stock- ade without a heavy guard of sol- diers. In the first six months after the establishment of the fort the In- dians killed 154, persons, including “cltizens and soldiers. There were fifty-one demonstrations neaT™ the fort, and every train that passed on the trail was attacked. Captain Fetterman's Boast. —~ Thé Indjans particularly delight- ed in making Mfe a burden to the ‘wood cutters. Near the fort was a ill called Sullivant Hill, on which a sentry stood all day lons, watching for signals from the wood cutters. 3f an unusually large force of Indians attacked them, the wood cutters would signal for more help and an additional detachment would be sent from the fort. On December 21, 1866, the lookout signalled that the wood train had bees corralled and was attacked 1m force about a mile and a half from the fort. A relief party of forty-nine men from the ‘Bighteenth Infantry and twenty-sey- en troopers from the Second Gavalry ‘was ordered out. Captain W. J. Fet- terme, who had little experience in Indian fighting, but who was a brave if somewhat impetuous officer, asked to be put in charge of the rélief par- ty. General Carrington acceded to his request and gave him positive in- structions to relieve the wood train and ‘drive back the Indians, but on no account to pursue the Indians he- yond Lodge Trall Ridge, a long, high ridge neat the fort, extending from Sullivant Hill. With Captain Fet- terman’s ‘party were tivo civilians, Wheatley and Fisher, both armed with new breech-loading, rapid-fir- ing rifles, which they were cager to try in Indian warfare. Fetterman had made the bosst that with eighty men he could ride through the whole Sloux nation. He now hau'eighty-three mea, and the sequel proved how little he knew of the Sloux as fighters when he made Lis Voast. The Indians who were at- tacking the wood cutters were soon aware of Fettermen’s approach and immediately withdrew, allowing the swood train to break coral and go on its way unmolested. The Indians seemed to realize that the man in command of the soldiers was not an experienced fighter. They' kept just out of range and taunted the soldiers and made insulting motions, and, in short, tried by every meaus to keep the command following them. In this they succesded. Fetterman was so eager to punish the redskins that he Surgot his orders and pursued the Sloux across Lodge Trail Ridge. Once| o¥er this ridge he was in the power of the Sioux. Red Cloud had posted hundreds of Indlens in ambusb. a. On. MT ee armed all the quartermaster’s em- ployes and citizens and then mus- tered only 119 men, not enough to defend the walls in case of atfack. ‘The wives and children of the men in the first detachment were nearly crazy with anziety, ard this deepened when an orderly galloped In from the relieving party and stated that the valley on the other slde of the ridge. was filled with Indians and that no sign of Fetterman was to be seen. General Carrington ordered the two relfeving partles to consolidate, and told them to unite. with Fetterman. He ordered in the wood train, which gave him fifty-four men to spare for the relieving expedition. Later in the afternoon Captain Ton Eyck’s men refurned with details of the ap- palling disaster. In the wagon were forty-nine of Fettétman’s men, leay- ing thirty-four unaccouated for. Ten Eyck had remained on the defensive on the brow of the bill, though the Indians had tried by every means to make him follow them into the val- ley. He found the'bodles cf the sol- diers where they had fallen, and there was evidence of a terrible con- Mict on the hill. The soldiers had taken refuge behivia some huge rocks and the forty-nine men he had brought back were found in a space about six feet square. They hed been shot full of arrows, scalped and mutilated. Captain Fetterman and Captain William Brown, the post quartermaster, were found side by side, each with a bullet wound én his temple. Evidently they had stood face to face and each had shot the other dead rather than be taken alive by the Indians. ~ Feared Attack on Fort. ‘The weather was bitter cold and it was late in December, and there was no telling when the Indians, encour- aged by thelr success, would make a determined assault on the fort. But ‘the next day General Carrington went 4n person to the ‘scene of that battle with a force of. eighty men, after leaving strict instructions as to sig- nals $o be fired from the fort in case of an attack. The women and chil- dren hd been placed in the maga- zine, and an officer was left in charge of them pledged not to let the women be taken alive if the general did not return and the Indians captured the fort, | General Carrington found bodies strung aloig the road to the western end of the trai! furthorest from the fort. The two civilians who had ac- companied Fotterman were found behind a couple of rocks. By the sido of one were found fifty. shells, and nearly as many at the side of the other, showing that they had made a desperate fight. Wheatley had no less than 105 arrows in him. Lieutenant Grummond was found some distance from the others be- hind a plle of rock, with every evi- dence of a terrible struggle having taken place on the scene, The bodies of the remaining soldiers, which were stripped of clothing, were taken back to the fort. ‘The weather was almost insuffer- Able, and men and women were forced to clothe themselves in furs made from skins of wolves. As soon as possible relfef was sent to the fort. . General Carrington was relieved of command pending investigation, but eventually he was absolved from blame, as it was proved that he had given Fetterman distinct orders not to venture into tho trap which Red Cloud had sprumg so successfully. General Carrington was deeply in- terested in going over the scene of dis early experiences. It was planned to have him meet his ‘old foeman, Hed Gloud, probably the. greatest chief the Sidux ever knew, but the old warrior was too feeble to be there. Just before the abandonment ct Fort Phil Kearny Red Cloud received ample punishment for the Fetterman slaughter. Captain James Powell, who had been detailed to guard the timber cutters at the fort, repulsed Bed Cloud and his warriors in what was known ‘as the “Wagon Bor fight,"" a short dfstance from the fort. Red Cloud had assembled about 3,- 000 warriors, and: determined to make a direct assault on the fort. As a preliminary move ho intended to annihfiate Powell and his wood guards. No less than 500 Indians made an attack on the wood trai, but Powell promptly corralled the wagons, and behind this fortification. = § OSS, Say &- Lae SERS Bo ee 3. 3 DC « C- al iN - A Forcing Effect. sound until Christmas and even fc Fresh manure has a foreing effect | Several months longer by-elther ¢ and tends to produce stems and|tte following methods: a leaves at; thé expense of frult and} | First—Select round ard perfe grain.

First, by offending his {doa of the beautiful. This injury is an important factor in the yalue of the land, and, furthermore, it is one that {fs felt by the whole community. A farm with weeds dg not only less? valuable itself, but it makes every: other farm in the community lesst valyable.

"Weeds harbor injurious insects and diseases. The overgrown fence rows ‘and ditehes furnish most {deal places for many of these troublesome ene- ‘ales to live through the winter.

For ‘VicE-PRESIDENT,: * JAMES 8. SHERMAN, or New Yorr. Onxy about three more weeks before the National election, at that time the majority of the voters of the United States will elect that stalwart Rebublican, ‘W. H.

In Arkansas the Republicans cast 52 per cent of the entire voteand have about 1 per cent of the members of the legisla- ture. ‘this result is brought about by having all the election officers appointed by three State Officers. This is what Mr. Bryan’s party thinks of ‘Let the people rule.’’ 6 Judge Taft favors industrial and higher edncitivi for the Afro-American, the enforcement of the war amendwents snd equal protection tor every ¢ ti- zen. Mr. Bryan favors—vell, we give itup. During the next four, years many cases involving the rights ot the race will come before thy Snpreme Court of the United States. With the possibility that some of the present justices may be retired and their places filled—in the case of Bryan’s election—by men of the Tillman- Vardaman-John Sharpe Will- liams type, itis easy to infer what the decision would be. Every section of the country seemsable to present an assort ment of good reasons why “we don’t want Bryan.” The Afro; Auierican alone can furnish a lot of reasons why we don’t want Bryan, cus of which he seeks to be non c. mmitta! upon the sub- ject of ihe eryil rights of the race Ano her is that we don't wanta Bryan Supreme Cour’, * “fue State said years ago, the first and most’ important step toward 2 solution of the Beare problem should be the withdrawal of the right of suf- frage to the Negroes by abroga- ting the Fifteenth Amendment to Be #ederal Constitution,”’— New Orieans State (Dem.) “The black man’s right to aspire to the highest dignity has -ever been scornfully questioned.

Very Few Will Veer. - Soma little time ago, it was ‘quite a popular assertion thab the Negro should divide his votes among the political parties, andit was argu: ed with more or less abjlity.,-that he would be a great gainer by do- ing so. Such reasoners were gener- ally Caucasian Democrats, but at the present time a few Negroes hime adopted the same line of ar- gument and sre trying to persuade Nekro electors te vote for Mr. Bryan. “This has attracted the at- tention of the Athens,(Ga.)Banner. and that journal frankly and cans didly tells the Negro voter what he will gain by taking such advice as follows: "The Democrey wants the votes of all thé “citizens of the Republic who believe in good government, but it does not want the votes of the Negroes under any idea that they are to be treated in any other manner than the well established custom in this country, that of maiptaing the supremacy. of the white man, If their are Negfoes ‘who are veering to Democracy on the idea that they are fo be pam- pered and petted and given privi- leges over the white man ‘they might as well be undeceived. From Mr. Bryan down the De- mocraey stands for'the rule of the white man in this Republic and there isno use in disguising that fact, The Negroes might as well realize it and be done with it.” , There is little consolation in the above for the “Negroes who an veering to Democracy,” and th Athens Banner may rest assured that not matiy of the race will ‘veer.2—Age. Gems From Taft’s Sh nae hb & Prejudice against-the race fades away most rapidly when there are pecuniary: reasons for its disap- pearance. ' As the colored . people grow more intelligent, as they have a better defined society, as their loaders increase in number, _intel- ligence and influence, it is inevit- able that the race bitterness be- comes harder for them to bear ‘and their sense of its injustices in- creases. ' Lam fully alive to the heart pangs that a colored man endures when suffering from the contempt- uous insults of white men not at all his equal, either in point of in- telligence or devotion to duty. I Know the sense of injustice that has oftentimes burned itself into his breast when he realizes that his rights have been trampled up- on and his claims to fair treatment rejected solely because of his skin. I cannot too strongly condemn the attitude of those public men who, in their discussions of the race question use language calcu- lated to arouse in the ignorant a deep contempt for the colored race and altogether unfriendly attitude toward it. They must he held re- sponsible for much of the feeling that manifests itself in the con- tumely heaped upon the negro at times and the actual cruelty ex- hibited toward him. % , But, while I advocate with all the energy and confidence possible the spread of primary and indus- trial education, I am far °from minimizing the importance or op- portunity for higher education for the Negro. The race needs lead- ers, and the leaders need as com- plete education as possible. The proper educatjonal system for the Negro must be likened to a pyra- mid in which the broad foundation is that of the primary education and the next layer industrial, and the next secondary, and the next academic, and finally the capstone —professional. . Speclaiteo The Tribune. ee eee ee ee eee ‘and permanent business rests, is the pressing need of the business in the community in which it may exist and upon the intelligence and sagacity of those who are at its head. Both of these expediences are nocessary to the longevity of ‘the concern and to the protection of those whose duty it will become to patronize it. It is to be regretted that too often has it been the cause that a community has been flooded with concerns similar to those which would succeed because success seem apparent. We denounce this method of initiatum among jour people as decidedly as we do the lack of any effort at all, be- cause the one brings about stagna- tion, apathy and distrust, while the other embraces the trio of causes plus. Diversifications of the trades and enterprises are strictly in keeping with the age and we could not afford to place the dam- per upon efforts in that direction, but the rather would sneourags any and all of them if they should organize, within the sphere of reason. Now, in.this or any other city we needa bank before we need banks. A bank in which we may safely deposit our money and draw interest, reasonable but sure, Upon this one proposition we think it reasonable to draw the limit because of the newness of tHe venture among colored men, especially in this Section of the country and more especially in this neck of the woods. This line up may not hold good with refer- ence to alllines of business nor shall I attempt to argue that it will, but the fimited amount.af f- nance—limited in comparison*with that handled by’ thewhifé'race, in- compasses us in”a restricted spheré or at léast, it should do so‘ with réference to our finance. The prosperity of any concern depends upon the:patronage of the ‘people ahd the patronage of the peoplé is small or large in pro- ortion to the strength and relia Bility of that concern. Hence the ‘prosperity of the concern depends upon its reliability. ‘Then _ it ‘seems to us that it would “be far better to build up one concern having all of the qualities necessa- ry totke establishment of .confi- ‘dence than a hundred that would not bearthe test of the mildest ‘kind of panic. Itwould be much ‘wiser to. generate strength by com- bination than to venture into the yotex of commercial competition in a barque that is wise nor worthy. > Let men awake and act. Let concentration be the -watchword and race pridenerve evéry mem- ber of our race to that key of acti- .vity that will tend to redeem us from the curse of cast and an unrelenting prejudice that seems developed along with the progress of the race.

Democratic Promises Sn - The Southern States were re-ad- mitted to the Union in 1868, #fter the Civil War and it was express- ly provided that no state sliould ever abridge the right of any voter. ‘The Act passed July 28, 1886. was as follows: “That each of the stafes of North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida shall be entitled and ad- mitted to, feoresen eter in Con- gress as a’state of the Union when the legislature of such states shall have duly ratified the amendments to the Constitution of the United States proposed by the 39th Con- gress, known as Article 14, upon the following fundamental condi- tions: That the Constitution of nei- ther of said” States ‘shall - be so amended or changed as to deprive any citizen or class of citizens of the United States of the right to yote in said State, who are entitled to vote by the Constitution thereof herin recognized, except for the punishment of such crimes as are now felonies at common law, {where of they shall have been convicted under laws equally applicable to the inhabitants of all the States.” Four of the States named have passed laws restricting the right of suffrage and in all of the Southern States the Jaws are -enforced in such a way as to debar thousands of men from exercising their rights as citizens, because their skins are black. The Southern States were re-ad mitted to the{Union on theZfunda- mental condition that, they¥ would never amend or change their Con- stitution so as to deprive any citi- zens or class of citizens of the United States of the rightto vote. It was a sacred obligation. Have they kept it? Can the Dem- ocrats who have deliberately bro- ken their promises be trusted? A Year of Prosperity The board of directors of the Wage Earners Loan and Inveatmenit Com- pany recently held a meeting at which reports of the fiecal year were rendered, and which showed the company to be ina prosperous con- dition and an increase in business of several thousand dollars during the past year, notwithstanding, the money panic, and tne failure of similar institutions in the city.

At 11 a.m. the pastor tried to interest his audience from Isaiah 45 chapter 9 verse. They seemed to have enjoyed the services. Our Sunday school at 3:30 p.m. was not attended as it should have been, too many young folks take pattern after the old and go visiting and gossiping rather than to Sunday school. At 8 o'clock a splendid congregation turned out to lissen to the gospel message. The pastor's talk was on the subject of "The chastity of the home." He stressed the point that home is the oldest institution and should be as sacred as the church. He said the church cannot be more sacred, then the home, because the church is made up of homes, and cannot be greater than the creator. The good members are paying in their conference claims. Tomorrow will be our last Sunday before conference. The pastor will preach his closing sermon Sunday night. Let us see to it that our church take a seat in the front rank and retain pass record. All true members will register their names on the dollar money roll. Expert Repairer. Mr. Elijah J.

CITY MARKET Fashions S New York City.—Jaunty, hip length coats are always becoming to young girls and are among the prettiest ones that are shown for the coming season. This model has novel pockets that make a feature and is adapted both to the suiting materials and to the cloths that are used for separate jackets. Also it will be 1 found very satisfactory for immediate wear, as well as for the between seams time and the early autumn. It can be made either with long or quarter sleeves and will be found charming for the light weight cloths, that make such satisfactory wraps for cool summer evenings, 1 as well as for the heavier suitings and cloaking materials. In the illustration, however, it is made of golden-brown broadcloth, with collar and cuffs of velvet. The coat is made with fronts, side-fronts, backs and side-backs, the many seams meaning becoming lines as well as easy fit. The pockets are arranged over the side-fronts and all the edges are finished with machine stitching. The collar is oddly shaped and can be made either of contrasting material or to match the coat, as liked. Rolled over cuffs finish the long sleeves, stitched bands those of the three-quarter length. The quantity of material required for a girl of sixteen years is four yards twenty-seven, two and five-eighth yards forty-four, or two yards fifty-two inches wide, with three-eighth yard of velvet. Empire Waist Line. Is it possible that the high Empire waist line has lived its day? Paris has just put out two or three wonderful new models for women of fashion which have the waist line exactly normal back and front. Fashionable Fabric. Crepe de chine, than which no fabric is more popular, and justly so, will be largely used in both the satin and silk finished weaves. The Parisian modistes are making it up in all sorts of dressy gowns. Skirts Are Longer. The fashion for extra long skirts on most of the smart gowns has caused the designers to put out a walking skirt that covers the first step. Pointed Back Coats. The coat with pointed back and front has a successor in the coat with pointed sides. Elastics in Corsets. Since style demands the flat hip and allows the larger waist, the ordinary corset is not a comfortable affair. There is a new one made which has two bands of silk elastic let in straight up the front to allow relaxation and deep breathing. Circular Tunic Skirt. Unquestionably the tunic skirt is a graceful one, and that it already has taken a firm hold upon fashionable fancy is evident. This one is absolutely simple yet draped in a most effective and graceful manner, and is adapted to all the soft and clinging materials that are characteristic of present styles. In the illustration a dotted foulard is trimmed with banding and the cost is an extremely trifling one, but the skirt would be pretty made from such wool materials as volle or marquisset, from crepe de Chine, messaline, Liberty satin or any material of the sort, and also of such simpler things as cashmere and albatross for home wear. The skirt is circular, the right side being extended well over onto the left and shaped to form the drapery. There are darts that mean snug fit over the hips and the drapped portion is laid in pleats that provide long and graceful lines. The fulness at the back can be laid in inverted pleats or the skirt can be cut off and finished in habit style. It can be made either in the pretty round length or cut to escape the floor, when it becomes adapted to the street. The quantity of material required e for the medium size is eight and onehalf yards twenty-four, six, and one fourth yards thirty-two, or five and ```markdown ``` one-half yards forty-four inches wide, with five and three-fourth yards of banding. Gold Cords and Lace. With gold flowers, gold cords, gold lace, the latest thing to put about the neck of a lingerie waist is a piece of gold braid about an inch and a half in width, depending in front, finished with tassels or loops. Use of Gold. Gold is very much seen in soft gowns of black—not the cheap, bright gold, but the duff, almost rusty color. NEW YORK PRIZE POLICE STEED LIEUTENANT CORBETT MOUNTED ON THE FINEST POLICE HORSE IN THE CITY. Making a Lawn Swing. Where there are no trees suitable for attaching a swing rope, an artificial arrangement must be made use of, if the children are to enjoy the delights of a swing. Not only are strong points for the attachment of the rope necessary, but shade for the swing is also needed, since its use will be in the hot weather of the summer. In absence of suitable trees, then we can erect some such framework as that shown in Fig. 1, the four posts of which are firmly set in the ground, explains Farm and Home. These posts should be four by four inches, with cross pieces and braces three by four. The height may be ten feet, or even twelve, above ground. The width and length can, of course, be what anyone may choose. In any case both length and width should be well proportioned to the height to make the whole look well. To make a roof covering for this frame, bend three thin strips of ash The Swing Completed. or other plant wood and secure them in the places shown by the dotted lines, running a cross piece of the same along the ridge, as suggested, to hold the whole firmly in place. It remains now only to cover the top with an awning, as shown in Fig. 2, to make the whole complete. Thus will be provided not only a shady swinging place, but when the rope is thrown up out of the way, there will be a shady spot to which easy chairs may be brought from the house for the use of the "grown-ups," while the children will find it a comfortable place for play of other kinds when enough of swinging has been had. Lugi Plina, a prisoner at Bow street Police Cout, London, surprised the presiding magistrate by saying that his original intention was to plead "not guilty," "but," he said, "when I heard the prosecutor swear on the Bible that the purge contained £16, I felt bound to tell the truth and say there was only £9."

It is impossible to support them on the books on the hat rack, and generally they are allowed to lie on the table, to the detriment of the fur. To show that they can be very easily cared for a Boston man has designed the simple muffholder shown here. This holder has a frame of wire, the lower wire being movable. The muff is placed in the holder by detaching the end of the lower rod and slipping it A through the opening of the muff. The hook is then slipped into position and the holder suspended in a convenient place by means of the hook at the top.—Washington Star. Marvelous Electric Railroad Marvelous Electric Railroad. Genoa and Milan are to be connected by a marvelous electric railroad, eighty-five miles in length, which is to cost $47,000,000. The excessive cost of it is owing to the nature of the country through which the line will pass. It will require nineteen tunnels, one of, which will be twelve miles long. There will be 372 bridges and the road will be six years in the course of construction. The cost of the line construction alone will be $500,000 per mile. The line will be double tracked and there will be no grade crossings. Trains will consist of three cars, each accommodating fifty persons. It is proposed to run twenty trains a day, and it is estimated that the daily traffic will be 6000 passengers. A very complete schedule has been arranged to take care of the express and local traffic as well as the freight of that section of the country. The power will be derived from a 24,000 horsepower hydraulic generating plant. Largest block of marble ever quarried in the United States.

A revolution in the sending and receiving of telegraph messages is gradually taking place throughout the United States, owing to the telegraph printing machines which are being installed in the metropolitan offices of the telegraph companies. In sending, the messages are "punched" or spelled out in the Morse characters on an endless tape. The tape is then fed into a sending machine, where a wheel moves it along and in the right direction. The holes in the tape allow contacts to be made which control the receiving mechanism. The receiving machine is somewhat like an electrically controlled typewriter. Electrical contracts made through the holes in the tape cause the proper type bars to be struck. So fast is this automatic working that the girl operators can receive and send from 200 to 400 messages in nine hours with one machine. The machines work duplex, two messages being sent at the same time.—Popular Mechanics. The Joys of Youth. A boy in the State School for Dependent Children 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 whistle 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."—Argnout. Goesi English. A French lady living in America engaged a carpenter to do some work for her at a stipulated price.

In the past generation, or since the time of Grant, the Methodists and the Presbyterians have been far more represented than all other denominations put together in the White House and among presidential candidates. Grant, Hayes and McKinley were credited to the Methodists, and Tilden, Blaine, Cleveland, Harrison and Bryan to the Presbyterians. Greeley was a Universalist, although various kinds of eccentric, ethical and religious ideas were attributed to him; Gardeld was of the Campbellites and once had been a preacher among them; Arthur had Episcopallian affiliations and Roosevelt is of the Dutch Reformed stock.—Philladelphia Bulletin.

An obscure paragraph in a recent government report throws an interesting light on Uncle Sam's peculiar aptness as a real estate agent investing his own funds. The old gentleman has made some of the biggest real estate deals in history, and though none of these quite equals the entirely abnormal, if not apochryphal, purchase of Manhattan island for $24, yet he has driven some very thrifty bargains. The paragraph referred to says that $7,000,000 worth of precious metals is taken every year out of Seward Peninsula, Alaska. Seward Peninsula is only one of the many profitable mining districts of the northern territory, and the special significance of the figures lies in the fact that they represent the entire original cost of the Alaskan Territory. That is to say, one district, alone returns every year the cost price of the whole fabulously rich country, whose resources have hardly been scratched as yet. Incidentally, it is a pretty coincidence that Seward Peninsula should make this showing, since Secretary Seward, who negotiated the purchase of Alaska from Russia forty years ago, was both criticised and ridiculed for paying the "enormous sum" of $7,200,000 for all of Alaska—Kansas City Journal. WANTED TO KNOW It doesn't matter so much what you hear about a thing, it's what you know that counts. And correct knowledge is most likely to come from personal experience. "About a year ago," writes a N. Y. man, "I was bothered by indigestion, especially during the forenoon. I tried several remedies without any permanent improvement. "My breakfast usually consisted of oatmeal, steak or chops, bread, coffee and some fruit. "Hearing so much about Grape-Nuts, I concluded to give it a trial and find out if all I had heard of it was true. "So I began with Grape-Nuts, and cream, two soft, boiled eggs, toast, a cup of Postum and some fruit. Before the end of the first week I was rid of the acidity of the stomach and felt much relieved. "By the end of the second week all traces of indigestion had disappeared and I was in first rate health once more. Before beginning this course of diet I never had any appetite for lunch, but now I can enjoy a hearty meal at noon time." "There's a Reason:" Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY __ DR. CHARLES EDWARD LOCKE. “ Theme: Faith's Victorics. Brooklyn, N. ¥.—The Rev. Dr. Charles Edward Locke Sunday closed his pastorate at the Hanson Place Methodist Episcopal Church. He leaves to assume charge of the great First Methodist Eptscopat Church of Los Angeles, Cal. Large audfences filled the church at both services. In the morning Dr. Locke's subject was “Faith's Victories.” The text was 1 John 6:4: “This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” Dr. Locke sald: Early in the morning after refresh- ing sleep amid the fragrant bowers of Bethany, on the second day of our Lord’s sad’ and trjumphant Passion Week, Jesus with "His disciples was on His-way around the graceful slopes of Olivet to the great city. All being hungry, and seeing a fig tree, they ap- proached it, confidently expecting to enjoy the luscious fruit, forthe season of the ripening fruit had come, but the tinie for the gathering of the har- yest was not yet. When they reached the tree they found nothing but leaves. Christ thereupon pronounced a curse upon the unfrultful and use- Jess tree, and immediately it withered away. When the wondering disciples saw the fig tree withered away they marveled, but Jesus sald: “It ye have faith and doubt not, ye shall not ‘only do this which is done to the fig tree, but, also, if ye shall say unto this mountain,’ be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea, it shall be done; and all, things whatsoever ye shall’ask in prayer believing ye shall receive.” John was the best loved of all the @isciples of Jesus, Our introduction to him fs when he is a young man, when he and Andrew at the sugges: tion of John the Baptist, “Behold the Lamb of God!” follow Jesus and in- quire, “Where dwellest Thou?” and He replies, “Come and see.” Sixty years have passed; he fs now an old man standing on the mountain top of ‘expectancy with the light of immor- tality aglow upon his face. Looking forward into the future he cries, “It doth not yet appear what we shall be!” and looking backward upon the way he has traveled, and upon the great world strugsling for mastery, he shouts triumphantly, “This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” “Faith is the substance (essurance) of things hoped for, the evidence (proving) of things not seen.” It has been truthfully said that faith is a higher faculty than reason. Reason builds laboriously 2nd often fruitless- ly Sts towers of Babel, but faith quick ly soars into the very bosom of the InSnite. Faith is a grateful arch -which spans the chasm between man the finite and God the Infinite. Faith is a gift, “By grace ye are saved through faith—cit is the gift of God.” Faith is the Subtle force by which man adjusts himself to God. Faith is pardon, peace—regencra- tron. “Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through’ our Lord Jesus Christ.” We are saved from sin, not by evolution, or by revo- lution, or by works alone, but by faith—“believe. on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved!” Faith is llfe—Tae just shall Iive by faith” was Luther's discovery on the staircase in the Iateran. “The life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God.” Christ is Ilfe—He came to interpret and enlarge life for each of us. Faith, also, s character, Faith in Christ ig the foundation of character, the inspiration of achievement. Char- acter is what a man fs doing all the time. When the disciples asked Jesus what they should do to work the works of God, He replied, “Believe on Him whom He hath sent.” What we believe will determine what we do. Great men are great ideas incarnated. It was said of Abraham, “He believed God, and it wes accounted unto him for. ‘righteousness.” “Faith is the substance of things hoped for.” Faith realtzes while oth- er men dream and doubt and debate. Columbus first had a vision of a new world, and then found it. Morse was a mah of faith and prayer, until In 1844 the first telegraph wire between Washington and Baltimore carried the “message, “What God hath wrought?” So of Eads with his jet- tles, Stephenson with his steam en- gine, and Field with his cable. What these herole men worked out was “substance” to them before their dis- coverles ané inventions were actual- ities. The same is true of the work and faith of our Pilgrim Fathers and Mothers, the founders of the Wes- Jeyan movement, Francis Xavier, Willlam Taylor, William Butler and Judson, Pioneers of faith have dis- mally discovered that it is more aif- cult to overcome the unbelief of men than to master the principles upon which their deductions and inventtons depended. . After all, the stronger argument for our Christian faith is not what we say, but what we do. It has been thoughtfully remarked that although .the unbellever may not read the Bl- ble, he does read the life of Chris- tians to see how they live. A truth incarnated in a cons{stent Christian Ife is the church’s invincible argu- Sain’ EE giRARCRiie Aan: When, canara ae Sa: hour at 5 o'clock in the-morning. He found Mr. Lincoln reading the Bible, and he learned that {t was the great emancipator’s custom, to spend the early morning hour each day in Bible reading and prayer. “My dear friends, if any substantial ‘victories have been.won in this dear church during my ‘pastorate, which ends with this sacred Sabbath, they have been faith victories. Nothing we have endeavored to do together during these five happy years has been worth while unless it was what God wanted done. Iam thankful for the kindly providence which brought me to this noble chureh with {ts mul- titide of devoted and loyal people. I am deeply grateful to you all for your love and patience, for your fAdelity and your prayers. I wish I could have served you better. In the ardu- ous, though happy,-labors of this great parish I have been assured of your earnest and sympathetic sup- port. Without your constant co-opér- ation I should’ pave utterly failed. I thank you tenderly for your generous sympathy, for during these five years my greatest sorrows have come to mor ‘There was a happy tri-unionate of us; my sainted father, my only brother, and myself. My father was a com- rade and congenial companion to his boys. All unexpectedly, in the morn- ing of his brilliant career, my brother was stricken, and In a few hours the eminent young lawyer stood before the Great Judge. It was a deadening blow. My father, advancing In years, bent un- der the chastening. Though {t whit- ened his locks, it divinely brightened his faith. It was your distinguished honor to know my father and hear, him preach. His last sermon was' preached in this pulpit, his last public prayer was offered at’ these holy al- tars. He used to sit beside me here, and love me Into better service. Oc- caslonally, when I urged hima to do so, he would visit the other churches and Usten to my brillfant confreres, who are widely known for their eminence and eloquence; and, then, with a par- ent's fond indulgence and extrava- gance, he would say, “My son, none of these men preaches better than you.” I smlled at the fiction, but nevertheless my father's opinion was ‘more to me than any other's, and his Joving presence furnished tonic and Anspiration ta my work; and when, in that parsonage in the very shadow-ot the sanctuary, his soul ascended to meet his Lord, the noblest aiid most exquisite Christan gentleman whom God ever made, ended his earthly pll- grimages In my great sorrow you Sustained me with your tender pray~ ers and sympathy. But the old world has been pretty lonesome to me since the going away of these two dear men. T leave you reluctantly, but I turn my face again to the sunset shore with happy expectations. Many friends await our éoming. Nine ‘years ago this very week I lala the cornerstone of that beautiful church; and a piece of my heart went into tlie copper box. I want your prayers that my ministry theremay be faithful and fruitful, A slicere and hearty welcome to my successor, Dr. Henderson and his family, will be a token of true love and loyalty to me. He {s most wor- thy ofwour highest confidence and es- teem. He has won many trophies} is a man who has heen tried and not found wanting. He is a stalwart: tugged in body, vigorous in. mind and large of heart, He {s capable, resourceful, victorious. God bless him and you, and make his coming the most notable pastorate in the eventful history of this church. And, now, onee more, I thank you one and all—the trustees, the stew- ards, the class leaders, the Sunday- school, the presiding elders, the dea- conesses, the sexton, the “Epworth League, the Men's 2-3-2 Club, the missionary societies, the organists and choirs, the ushers, the children who’have loved me, the young people who have listened to me, the older people who have prayed for me; all ‘who have fn any way helped {n these five meniorable years of my life, I thank you with ail my heart and pray for you. To the members of other churches, and those who have attend- fed upon my ministry who were not members of this church, I would say, you have gladdened and encouraged my heart by your presence and kindly words; and i thank you, one and all, again ‘and again.

The decline in numbers among the free churches of Great Britain is a subject for lament. The English pa- pers are filled with anxfous d{scus- sions of the fact. It appears that the passion for souls is lacking and evan- Belism ig discredited. The churches are doing little more than the ethical societies are doing. Seventy-five per cent. of the population are reported as being elther indifferent or hostile to the churches. The churches are Sunday elubs, reform societies or benevolent, agen- cles, They are not homes for the soul. Prayer is not vital but for- mal. Conviction is not present. They have the ethic of religion without the evangel. This condition is a warning to all the world. The primary note in all our preaching and work should be evangelistic.

BAUXITE IN MIDDLE GEORGIA To Be Mined---Contracts Let for Many New Buildings in Different Sections of the State. Columbus, Ga.—The Georgia and Alabama Industrial Index says in its regular weekly issue: At Aragon, Ga., up in Polk county, petition for charter for a $400,000 cement company was filed. A company with $100,000 capital was formed at Brunswick, to mine bauxite in middle Georgia, and the manufacture of aluminum will be an important phase of this industry. At Valdosta a $50,000 company was formed to engage in tobacco culture. Announcement was made that a northern company which controls 297,000 acres of land in the great Okefenokee swamp in southeast Georgia is quietly preparing to build mills and erect tram roads, for the purpose of getting the valuable timber out of that vast tract of territory, now so desolate but destined to become one of the richest farming sections in the country after it has been reclaimed. Plans are being prepared for a $30,000 church at Oxford, and proposals for remodeling the First Baptist church at Thomasville, are invited. Contract for erecting a substantial building for a new buggy plant at Griffin was awarded, and Elbert county awarded contract for erecting a steel bridge. Land sales are being arranged for Columbus and Buford, and Atlanta reported a $100,000 transaction among its realty deals of the week. A company which is to build a street railway system at Americus, filed bond that it would begin actual construction work by October 20. DeKalb county will soon vote on the issuance of $300,000 of road improvement bonds. A $50,000 leather company is reported for Atlanta and a $50,000 patent medicine company was formed at Eastman. INCREASED FREIGHT RATES. On Cotton Seed Oil Will Be Discussed by Cotton Seed Crushers. $ ^{9}$ Atlanta, Ga. Whether the cotton seed oil mills of the south will make a protest, to the proper authorities, against the recent increased freight rate of 2 cents per hundred pounds of shipments of cotton seed oil, will be determined in the immediate future. At a call meeting of the executive committee of the Cotton Seed Crushers' association of Georgia held in Atlanta, upon the suggestion of M. S. Harper, President W. H. McKenzie of Montezuma appointed a committee to meet with similar committees from other state associations and the InterState association to determine what action should be taken. President McKenzie appointed the following: M. S. Harper of Atlanta, W. E. McCaw of Macon, Thomas Egleston of Atlanta, L. G. Neal of Atlanta. It is expected that this committee will meet in Atlanta on Monday week, October 19th, at which time "Cotton Seed Crushers' Day" will be celebrated at the state fair, now going on at Piedmont Park. The cotton seed exhibit is located in the agricultural building at the fair grounds and is one of the most attractive on the grounds. In the center of it there is shown everything that is made from the cotton seed, both crude and refined. On either side are demonstration booths where the refiners of cotton seed oil are showing the superiority of cotton seed oil as a shortening over lard. R. F. Duckworth, Head of Farmers' Union, Succeeded by J. L. Lee. Union City, Ga.—R. F. Duckworth, president of the Farmers' union of Georgia, has resigned and will devote his entire time to the office of chairman of the legislative committee of the national organization, to which he was elected at the national convention held at Fort Worth. J. L. Lee, of Stone Mountain, has been elected president of the state organization to succeed Mr. Duckworth. Mr. Duckworth has been prominent in the councils of the union since it was organized. Since his election to the chairmanship of the national legislative committee, he found that he had more work than he could do, hence he thought it best to devote his time to the general work. Mr. Lee, who succeeds Mr. Duckworth, is well known in the work of the Farmers' union and he is considered the best man in the organization for the presidency of the state organization. GOVERNOR NAMES BOARD. Announces Appointments Requested by Atlantic Deeper Waterways. Atlanta, Ga.—Governor Smith has appointed a board of commissioners for Georgia as honorary members of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways association. The personnel of the commission follows: U. H.

Hagan, Ga.-J. M. Elders, postmaster at this place and republican candidate for congress for the First district of Georgia, was arrested charged with embezzling funds from the money order department of this postoffice. His case was sent to the federal grand jury. Postoffice Inspector Hill recently made an examination of Elder's records and his arrest, which followed, created a profound sensation.

For the better advertising of Augusta's great resources before the world the chamber of commerce of that city will issue a booklet descriptive of the many advantages that are to be found in the Queen City of the Savannah river valley. Pensions for the fourth quarter are not expected by Bibb county veterans until about the first of December. Those who have called upon Ordinary Wiley for information concerning the payment of the fourth installment have been told that the money would be sent as soon as it could be secured by the commission. Ordinary John R. Wilkinson of Fulton county issued a marriage license to two well known old colored people of Atlanta, namely, Isaac Bell, aged 76, and Sallie Craig, aged 86. It was stated by both parties to the approaching contract that they had been sweethearts since childhood, but that unfortunate circumstances had prevented their union before this time. Collections by the receivers of the Exchange bank of Macon were slow during the month of September, as the monthly report which was filed in the superior court gives less than $4,000 as the amount taken in during the month. This means that another dividend is not yet in sight unless collections grow more rapidly and a smaller dividend is declared. So far the bank has paid 65 per cent of its indebtedness and hopes to bring the amount up to at least 75 before the end of the year. After a consultation with attorney General Hart Secretary of State Phil Cook has announced that the election managers in the national election are required by law to make two separate returns, one to the governor and another to the secretarw of state. According to the law as interpreted by the two officials, the managers will be required to make returns for electors and congressmen to the governor, while returns for the vote on constitutional amendments must be made to the secretary of state. The prison commission has been notified of the escape of Jim Council, a convict, from the Durham coal mines, in North Georgia. Council was sentenced from Bibb county, for a term of fifteen years for burglary. With Oliver Brown he made his escape by climbing through the air shaft of the mine during the working hours. Brown was captured before getting beyond the range of the guards. Macon will be better off next year with the additional convicts that will be secured from the state as a result of the passage of the anti-lease bill. Heretofore Bibb county has been getting about forty-five convicts from the state each year, but the new regulations will give the county fifty or more. Should the smaller counties not want the full pro rata share of convicts Bibb will put in an application for more of them. They will be needed badly in road building and in making other improvements.

When a man sees a prospect that looks good just across the line, the chances are he will jump over and try to get a contract. The other day a man who used to sell typewriters came to me and said he couldn't make good on the proposition mainly because his rights of territory were so often violated. While this seemed a pretty thin excuse for his not being able to sell the machines, I was nevertheless impressed by his complaint and am somewhat inclined to believe that sales-managers generally do not give the matter sufficient attention. He said that one morning as he was working a remote corner of his territory—it was somewhere in Connecticut—he went into an office and found that one of their typewriters had been recently put in on trial. The boss was out at the time he called, but he got into the good graces of the young lady stenographer—as all typewriter salesmen try more or less successfully to do—and learned the whole story. It would have been an easy matter for him to have reported the incident to his sales-manager, but he knew that the man who encroached on his territory would offer the old excuse of saying that the prospect was a personal friend of his. So he decided to punish the intruder in a more original manner and accordingly he took out the machine, and had the man searching for it for over two weeks—New York Commercial. dustrial and commercial congress, which meets in Washington, D. C., in December, is in Columbus in the interest of the project. He has already taken up the matter of Columbus' representation with leading members of the board of trade, and it is hoped that interest in the congress will be aroused. Ben L. Jones of Macon who received word that he is the heir of a fortune amounting to $200,000 from his uncle, Nat Jones, in Arkansas, has left for the west to look after his interests in the estate. A letter was received at Macon stating that Nat Jones, who was a brother of Ben L Jones,' father, had died leaving the vast fortune and that Mr. Jones of Macon was the only heir. 1 The Munson Steamship Line has brought suit against the South Atlantic Car and Manufacturing company of Waycross for $36,000, claiming this amount for alleged loss in their preparation to handle a shipment of three hundred cars from Savannah to Panama. The car company had a contract about two years ago with the United States government for three hundred flat cars for use on the Panama railroad, but owing to the destruction of the Savannah plant by fire had to cancel the contract. The steamship company claims in its suit that they had arranged to handle the cars from Savannah to Colon, and want judgment for not only $36,000, but interest thereon for nearly two years. The case will come up for trial before Judge Emory Speer, Valdosta, at the next term of United States court. Macon hopes to secure the Wirz monument to add to her present collection and if she is successful it will be placed at the corner of Cotton avenue and the triangular block, near the Commercial bank building. The selection of the city in which the monument is to be placed is in the hands of the Daughters of the Confederacy, and at the annual reunion of the organization in Savannah, some city will be picked out. Macon stands a splendid chance of getting the monument because of the splendid site that can be used. An election for municipal officers for the town of Martin for the ensuing year was held resulting as follows: L. V. Matherson, mayor; J. M. Walters, T. J. Young, W. B. Mitchell, G. L. Nelms, H. A. Rankin, councilmen. There was quite an interesting race for mayor between L. V. Matherson and R. F. Garner, the only candidates for that office, resulting in a majority of four for Matheson. A beautiful Georgia marble monument, dedicated to the memory of the Confederate dead, will be erected on the streets of Lawrenceville by the chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy of that city. The monument will stand twenty-two feet high and will be capped with a life-size statue of a Confederate soldier done in imported Italian marble. It will be erected on the court house square and will be completed in time for the unveiling which will probably take place on next decoration day. Sayannah, Ga.
