VOL. XXIV. INSCRIPTIONS ADOPTED Grand Army of the Republic Entered a Protest Against the Inscription Previously Adopted. Savannah, Ga.—Inscriptions for the monument to be unveiled by the Daughters of the Confederacy to Captain Henry Wlrz, C. S. A., were adopted by the convention meeting here, after a spirited discussion. The location for the monument that has been the cause of so much discussion will be decided upon tomorrow. The inscriptions are as follows, as they will appear when the monument is unveiled. On the Front: "In memory of Captain Henry Wirtz, C. S. A. Born Zurich, Switzerland, 1822. Sentenced to death and executed at Washington, D. C., November 15, 1865. To rescue his name from the stigma attached to it by embittered prejudice, this shatt is erected by the Georgia Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy." On Second Side: "Discharging his duty with such humanity as the harsa circumstances of the times and the policy of the foe permitted, Captain Wirtz became at last the victim of a misdirected popular clamor. He was arrested in time of peace, while under the protection of a parole, tried by a military commission of a service to which he did not belong, and condemned to ignominious death on charges of excessive cruelty to federal prisoners. He indignantly spurned a pardon proffered on odection that he would incriminate President Davis and thus exonerate himself from the charges of which both were innocent." Third Side: "It is hard on our men held in southern prisons not to exchange them; but it is humanity of those left in the ranks to fight our battles. At this particular time, to release all rebel prisoners north would insure Sherman's defcat and would compromise our safety here. (Signed) "ULYSSES S. GRANT, *August 18, 1864.* Fourth Side: "When time shall have softened passion and prejudice, when reason shall have stripped the mask from misrepresentation, then justice, holding evenly her scales, will require much of past censure and praise to change places. (Signed) "JEFFERSON DAVIS." December, 1885. A letter from Mrs. J. S. Perrin, Captain Witz's daughter, was read, expressing the wish that the monument be located at Andersonville. The inscription is already on the monument. While discussing the Witz monument, an effort was made to have newspaper men excluded, but, when Mrs. A.B. Hull of Savannah declared the Daughters of the Confederacy had nothing to fear because of the inscription, they were allowed to remain. Bitterness and friction were caused between the Daughters of the Confederacy and the Grand Army of the Republic by the inscriptions which previously had been adopted for this monument. The incident caused much discussion on account of the feelings shown by the Grand Army of the Republic. RULINGS AS TO PASSES. Important Decision by Interstate Commerce Commission. Washington, D. C.-Free* passes may be issued to bona fide employees of a railroad who are traveling to reenter the railroad service. Passes cannot be extended to the families of employees who died a natural death while in the service of common carriers, though that privilege is accorded to the families of employees killed in the service. These are among the rulings announced by the interstate commerce commission. The commission holds that a railroad may provide in its tariffs that whenever, because of washouts or other accidents, passengers are delayed beyond their ticket limit or so as to curtail their stopover privileges, the conductor or other agent may be indorsement of the ticket extend the time to cover such detention. This is to be honored by succeeding conductors on the company's lines, but no carrier can provide such extension over lines other than its own, except when provided in a proper joint tariff. The commission has also authorized changing (by not over thirty days) the terms of short time excursion fare tariffs under certain conditions. TWICE HONORED. IN A WEEK. Sergeant Seth T. Weld Gets Medal and Lieutenancy. Camp Atascadro, Cal.—For gallant conduct in an engagement in the Philippines Sergeant Seth T. Weld of the eighth Infantry, U. S. A., has twice been signally honored within a week. A few days ago he was presented with a congressional medal of honor for bravery and now he has received word from Washington that the president has appointed him a second lieutenant of the Philippine scouts. Lieutenant-Weld, while seriously wounded in both arms, rescued two wounded comrades from a band, of Pulajanes on the island of Leyte several years ago. LATE NEWS NOTES. Mrs. Lillian M. N. Stevens of Portland, Maine, was unanimously re-elected, president of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union at the annual convention of that organization held in Denver, Col.

President Roosevelt celebrated his fifteenth birthday on October 27, in the midst of a political campaign which he is directing with all the force of his strenuous nature. He was born at 28 East Twentieth street, New York City, on October 27, 1858. The old house still stands, and is usually the scene of some kind of celebration on his anniversary. The president crosses the half century mark as vigorously as a man of thirty. In an endeavor to establish his contention that all persons connected with the night riders' association are responsible for ravages made by any member of the organization, Henry Bennett of Louisville, Ky., has filed a suit for $100,000 damages in the United States circuit court. The plaintiff, on February 4, was set upon and terribly beaten with clubs and thorned switches by a band of night riders. At the same time his stemmery and tobacco factory—and other large and valuable buildings were destroyed by the night riders. Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of Emperor William, made an ascension in the reconstructed airship of Count Zeppelin. A great crowd witnessed the start of the flight. Deprived of his honeymoon clothing and rigged out in the uniform of a musician of the United States navy, in which he first met and fell in love with Miss Ada Gorman, daughter of the late Senator Arthur Pue Gorman, Charles J. Magness, dubbed by his companions as "Millionaire Musician," is chafing in the brig of the receiving ship Lancaster at the Philadelphia nacy_yard charged with desertion. While plowing, Jasper Welch, a farmer of Sergent, Ky., unearthed $500 in silver coins, some of which are rare specimens. The place was once occupied by a miser. Nearly a hundred cottages of Sallisbury, Mass., a seaside resort were destroyed by fire. The loss is $100,000. Union county, South Carolina, again voted for prohibition by a three hundred majority out of one thousand five hundred votes' cash. During the pats three years of prohibition the arrests for drunkenness have decreased fifty per cent and property valuation in the county is said to have increased $2,000,000. The result of the recent election in Canada shows that the Laurier (Liberal) government has been sustained with a majority of fifty, with seven elections yet to be held. All the ministers were re-elected, while seven of the opposition's chief lieutenants beaten. Charged with conducting the most extensive matrimonial agency swindle ever unearthed in Pittsburg, James L. Lecalair and Miss Lena Miller are prisoners at Pittsburg, Pa. More than two thousand letters from men and women were confiscated, and the police say close to five thousand, from every state in the unloth, paid a dollar after being promised to be introduced and wedded to an affinity. The Statue of Liberty, which illuminates New York harbor and welcomes the immigrants who seek the lands of the free, was twenty years old October 28. The gigantic young woman—for Liberty its always young—is as youthful and beau uffitsagkq—is as youthful and beautiful as she has been always. The work-of Barthold, the celebrated French sculptor, Miss Liberty was unveiled October 28, 1887. President Cleveland and his cabinet, the governors of many states, Americans noted in every walk of life, and many distinguished Frenchmen and other foreigners attended the bronze young woman's debut. Washington. The Spanish debt of $599,850 awarded to certain citizens of this country under a treaty of February 17, 1834, with Spain, has been finally liquidated, according to the annual report of the registrar of the treasury, Spain has been paying annual interest on the amount since the treaty, and this year the Spanish government transmitted $570,000 in liquidation of the debt. The principal has been paid over three times in interest. The civil service commission has decided that there was no foundation for the charges that custom inspectors of New York are compelled to see a Mr. Plummer in the office of Treasurer, Sheldon, of the republican national committee, at No. 2 Wall street and there contribute $25 each. It was charged, that the four hundred and fifty inspectors were assessed that amount to help the republican campaign, that many had already contributed." Commissioner Greene went to New York to investigate, examined forty or fifty employees and, reported that he had no traces of coercion or assessment, or even of a very general systematic voluntary payment of contributions to the campaign fund. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1908. NIGHTRIDERCONFESSED "Ted" Burton Names.Men Who Lynched Captain Rankin. IMPLICATED MEN ARRESTED Burton Tells How the Lycheing of Rankin Was Planned and Executed. Denies Complicity in Killing: Tiptonville, Teenn—"Ted" Burton, self-confessed night rider, told a remarkable story of night rider depredations in the vicinity of Reelfoot Lake, confessing to the part he played in the outrages which reached a culmination in the putting to death Captain Quentin Rankin, a prominent attorney of Trenton, Teenn, on the banks of the lake a week ago, and implicating men prominent in this section. Of the number he declares that had a part in the killing of Captain Rankin more than half are in custody at the military base near Samburg. While Burton denies that he was present when Captain Rankin was put to death, he admits that it was through information, by him that the band congregated and secured the attorney while he slept at the hotel at Walnut Log. According to Burton's confession, Tom and Garret Johnston, under arrest, and William Watson, under bond in connection with another raid, were the leaders of the Lake band. Burto declares that the first part he played as a member of the night rider band was when he aided in the burning of a fish dock at Samburg, and several weeks later was one of a party who crossed the county line from the Reefock Lake district into the adjoining county of Lake and whipped Justice of the Peace Winn, an aged man. Coming to the killing of Captain Rankin Burton declared that he saw Captain Rankin and Judge Taylor at the hotel in Walnut Log and that he communicated with the night rider leaders and told them of the visit. Burton says he then left Walnut Log and went out into the lake-to fish. He states that he was fishing when he heard shots which ended the life of Captain Rankin. In the course of his confession, Burton was accused of names of no less than forty members of the night-riders. The majority of those implicated by Burton are under arrest, but as to their identity Sheriff Halns would not say further, fearing that to do so would cause additional excitement and provoke an outbreak on the part of the friends of the prisoners.

Moore of the patent office denies that there has been an intention on the part of the secretary of the interior or anyone else to destroy the models of patents accumulated b the models of patents accumulated by the government up to 1880, when mechanical drawings were submitted for models in the filing of claims by inventors. Widespread publicity has been given to statements that this collection of 157,000 models, would be destroyed or scattered and many protests against such action have been received here. PLAN3 ARE OUTLINED For President Roosevelt's Hunting Trip to Africa, Nations to Be Employed. to Africa—Natives, to Be Employed. Washington, D. C.—While President Roosevelt's plans for his African hunting trip have not been entirely completed, some general idea of his expedition was given from Bishop Joseph C. Hartselt, for twelve days of the Methodist church in Africa, who spent some time with the president and talked over the hunting trip, in addition to, discussing the work of the missionaries, in that country. The general route to be taken by the president when he reaches Africa is from Alexandria by steam through the Suez canal, across the Red sea and down the east coast of Africa to the port of Mombasa, the capital of British East Africa. At Mombasa, the outfit of the expedition, which has been purchased in London, will be assembled and shipped by rail to Lake Victoria Nyanza. The president and his party will make to the trip to Lake Victoria Nyanza by rail; stopping off at various points along the route to make hunting excursions into the interio, away from the railway. The country traversed by the railway is of the wildest sort, and all kinds of big game can be found along the line. The real work of the expedition will not begin however, until the party reaches the plateau of Nganda, after crossing Lake Victoria Nyanza, where abounds game-to be found nowhere else in the world. It is not known exactly how long the president will remain in this region. The president's patty is to consist of his son, Kermit, who is to be the official photographer of the expedition, and two naturalists from the national museum. No other persons will be taken from this country. When he reaches Africa he will employ the services of natives and guides. A caravan will be organized for the trip from the railway terminus in Uganda to the Nile. The naturalists will prepare such specimens, as it is thought the national museum will want. Whether Mrs. Roosevelt will meet the party at Khartoum will not be definitely decided until the trip is begun. During the entire trip the president will be on English territory, and the English officials along the route will do everything in their power to assist the party. TRIP OF FARMERS' COMMISSION. Tour of the Southern States Will Be Begun November 6th. Ithaca, N. Y.—The itinerary of the first trip of President Roosevelt's farmers' uplift commission has been announced by Chairman Liberty Hyde Bailey, who has been planning for the investigation of farmers' life in this country. The commission will hold its first hearing at the Agricultural College of Maryland on November 6. The party will then go south, and the next ten days will be spent on hearings in the states south of Washington and east of the Mississippi river. During this perled the commission will separate in order to cover the territory more fully. The hearings will be of one day's duration, and reports are to be made up from the proceedings after the commission has left the different places and sent to the commission. Some 60,000 circular letters have already been sent out from Washington to various parts of the country, and about 2,000 replies are being received daily, enabling the commission to get into close touch with all enabling the commission to get into close touch with all enterprises for rural betterment. LEFT RECORD OF AGONY. Prospector Mests a Horrible Fate in a California Desert. Los Angeles, Cal.-Dying of thirst in the desert west of Death Valley, B. F. Pratt, a prospector of the Grape Vine district, whose body was found in the Argus mountains by another miner, left the record of his sufferings on the pages of a diary found by his side. Pratt, after being warned that the trip was a dangerous ope, started for Moive, and several days, succeeded in leading water. He finally entered a region entirely destitute of moisture, and lost his way. Here the pages of his diary contain entries that read as follows: "Things ahead look bad. "Can't find my trail. No water now for two days. Am about all in. Will be able to hold out through tomorrow. "I can't stand the pace. Have left my grub and blankets. Am going blind with this sun and headache. Lips and tongue are cracked and bleedings. Must get water today, or I'll cash in." This is the last legible entry, although Platt had previously foreseen his fact, and left a request that notwithstanding of his death be sent to his brothers. $200,000 BRIBE REJECTED Ex-Governor Miller Spurred Money of Louisiana Lottery Co. Duluth, Minn.—The death of ex-Governor John Miller of North Dakota, here, recalls the famous fight against the Louisiana lottery in North Dakota.

"That is yous if you will permit the lottery to enter. North Dakota," said he. "My price is higher than that," said Mr. Miller, and threw him out of the office. CASTRO DEFIES DUTCH Venezuela-Declines to Grant the Demands of Holland. WAR PREPARATIONS MADE In Anticipation of a Demonstration By Holland Preparations Are Being Made to Defend Caracas. Caracas, Venezuela, via Willemstad, Curacao.—President Castro, in his answer to the second Netherlands note, has declined to revoke his decree of May 14, prohibiting the trans-shipment of goods for Venezuelan ports at Curacao which has been obnoxious to the people of that island. The president expresses surprise that the Netherlands government should ask for the revocation of this decree after acknowledging Venezuela's right to issue it. Continuing, he asks the Netherlands to send a confidential agent to Caracas to arrange the terms of an amicable settlement of the difficulties between the governments. The chief of artillery branch of the Venezuelaan army has completed the preparations for the defense of La Guaira. In anticipation of a naval demonstration by Holland before that port on November 1, shells have been distributed to all the modern guns installed in the forts in Mountainside above La Guaira. THE EMPEROR OF JAPAN Thanks President Roosevelt for Sending Fleet to Japan. Washington, D. C.—"I suppose heaven helped us to join our hands firmly," said Japanese Ambassador Kogoro Takahira, with emotion, as he discussed the visit of the American fleet to Japan, which has just come to an end. The following is the text of the message from the emperor, which Ambassador Takahira conveyed to President Roosevelt: "To the President of the United States of America; I thank you most sincerely for your very kind message which the American ambassador delivered to me upon the departure of the American fleet from our shores. I was highly gratified to learn that the reception accorded to the fleet was so satisfactory and agreeable to you and to the people of the United States. I desire to express my appreciation of your kindness in accepting the invitation of my government for the fleet to visit Japan, since, by that visit, I was afforded an opportunity to testify anew to you the assurance of my high regard and perfect esteem, and my subjects enabled to show fresh proof of their sincere attachment for your countrymen, and I am very happy to believe that the memorable event will surely tend to cement the bonds of friendship and good neighborhood between our two countries. "I remain, your good friend, MUTSUNIHO ADVERISEMENT CAUSED HYSTERIA. She Thought It Was From a Feminine Admirer of Her Husband. Washington, D. C.—There is a young husband living in the west who believes that certain forms of advertising now used should be condemned by the government and forbidden the malls. Last week he received a letter addressed in a feminine hand. Laying it upon the table, it was picked up by his wife, who read: "Dearest: After-you left me yesterday I remembered that I had forgotten to tell you to—" The wife got no further, being overcome with hysterics, and has not yet fully recovered. As a matter of fact, the latter was perfectly harmless, being merely an advertisement in imitation of a woman's handwriting, and told of the merits of a certain remedy. It is not likely that the government will take any action. CHURCH IN BETTING RING. Brighton Beach Race Track to Be Turned Into Town. New York City.—When a suburban town arises on the site of the famous Brighton Beach race track, a church will occupy the corner which for many years was the location of mutual pools. The company which purchased the track and is cutting it into building lots announces that they will build a church and give it away. BIOT IN GREEK COLONY. Over Twenty-Five Persons Injured, Some Seriously. St. Louis, Mo.—Twenty-five men and women and two policemen were injured, some seriously, in a riot that followed the arrest of William Sarkis for fighting. The struggle took place in the Greek colony. A dozen Greeks were arrested. Explosion at Gaisden, Ala. Gadsen, Ala.—One man dead, one missing, one dying and four injured, are some of the results of a dynamite explosion at the Hammond mines, seven blocks from the business section of the city. So terrific was the explosion that almost every plate glass front in Gadsdens was broken and fragments of costly windows-strew the pavements. Twenty-four miners' houses in the vicinity of the explosion are leveled to the ground, and many others are damaged. A number of women and child-standing in the vicinity of the fire were more or less injured. THROUGHOUT THE STATE Officers were elected by the grand lodge of Masons in session at Macon as follows: Thomas Jeffries, Atlanta, re-elected grand master; Henry-Banks, LaGrange, deputy grand master; J. M. Russhin, Boston, Ga., grand treasurer; W. I., Wolihin, Macon, grand secretary, and R. L. Childing, Savannah, grand senior warden. Engineer Charles F. Pease of Atlanta and his negro fireman, Watts Pardue, were killed when a northbound freight train on the Southern railroad crashed into an open switch in the outskirts of Rome. The switch had been thrown during the night. The lock had been broken and is missing. The wreck appears to have been the work of train wreckers, and officers are now on the case, though no clew has been found to the identity of the perpetrators. In view of the effort being made by several southern cities to secure some of the troops which are soon to be returned from mCuba, a letter-received by Congressman W. G. Brantley & Brunswick, from Adjutant General F. G. Alnsworth, states that the troops upon return from Cuba will be sent directly to their stations in the United States. The letter to Congressman Brantley says: "I have the honor to acknowledge receipt today of your letter of October 22, 1908, in which, with reference to newspaper statements that the troops now in Cuba are shortly to be returned to the United States and that they will probably be stationed at some southern point or points, you ask whether some of them could be stationed at Brunswick, Ga., and in response thereto to inform you, by the direction of secretary of war, that, upon the relief of the troops from duty in Cuba, they will be sent directly to their station in the United States." The Gress zoo at Grant park, Atlanta, will have added to it a water buffalo and a female elk. The park board recently agreed to let the Van Amberg show and the George Rollins show winter-at Pledmont Park. The former will contribute the buffalo, and the latter the elk. There are said to be only three water buffalos in this country, and Atlanta is to have one of them. Thomas Darley, eldest son of Rev. T. W. Darley of Wrightsville, was fatally hurt by the accidental discharge of a gun with which he was playing. The bullet took effect, in the right temple, going through the head and breaking a mirror on the opposite side of the room. Condemning text books now in use in the public schools in Georgia, Miss Anna C, Benning of Columbus in her report before the state convention of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, that convened at Savannah, declared that the history of Georgia throughout the public school curriculum is "conspicuous by its absence." She declared that "Georgia's children should be taught that Georgia has everything that goes to make a state great, and there is no use for her sons and daughters' to leave the state to find it. They ought to spend their lives in their home state." W. W. Hunter, a well known civil engineer, is in Augusta running flood and water levels, having been employed by the city council flood commission appointed to devise ways and means of protecting the city in future from a recurrence of the recent disaster. The first meeting of the Northeast Georgia Cotton and Corn exhibitors was held in Galensville at the Hall county court house. Every county in the Ninth congressional district half exhibits of corn and cotton, for which liberal prizes were paid to the winners. The exhibition was arranged to stimulate interest in corn and cotton breeding and seed selection in this district, and much good was derived from the exhibition. A hundred horses swapped in as many minutes, was the remarkable record accomplished at the first horse swappers' convention, held in Americus. From a dozen counties the incongruous collection of horses and mules were brought here, and the court house park resembled a Gypsy camp during trading hours. The convention was successful beyond expectation, and will be repeated. The state court of appeals holds that, municipal ordinances that conflict with the state law which licenses "locker clubs" are illegal. This decision was handed down at Atlanta in the case of a Macon social club against the state, attacking the ordinance of that city prohibiting the locker club. The state prohibition law, which went into effect last January, contains a clause placing a license tax of $500 on "locker clubs." Later the city of Macon passed an ordinance making it unlawful for any club, corporation or association/ to keep on its premises any intoxicating liquors. The board of health of Augusta has found that persons residing in the upper part of the city may use city water without first-bolling it. People all over the city are doing that very thing, but the board of health refuses to give its official O. K. on the drink fluid until it show no citrates of other poisons or bacillus. The water supply is now excellent and plentiful and the people remember the flood only as a bitter experience, that has entirely passed. While on his way home from Statesboro Abe Bird, a prominent citizen and farmer of Bullock county, was waylaid and shot at with a shotgun loaded with bird shot.

A New York syndicate is forming to take $10,000,000 of a $75,000,000 loan sought by Brazil to meet the cost of a vain effort to corner the coffee market. It was brought out at the Morse-Curtis trial in New York City that the National Bank of North America lent hundreds of thousands of dollars to two clerks. HOW MY BOY WENT DOWN. It was not on the field of battle, It was not with a ship at sea; But a fate far worse than either That stole him away from me. 'Twas the death in the ruby wine-cup. That the reason and senses drown; He drank the alluring poison, And thus my boy went down. Down from the heights of manhood, To the depths of disgrace and sin; Down to a worthless being, From the hope of what might have been. For the brand of a beast besotted He hartered his manhood's crown: Through the gate of a sinful pleasure My poor, weak boy went down. HOME OFFICE WEST BROAD STREET, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. Phone 1198. Gz.

WEST BROAD OWNED AND CONTROLLED BY SAVANNAH NEGROES THE RECOMPENSE. In Tunis, once I rambled down A winding Arab street, When suddenly broke upon the wind A strain of music sweet. If Pan had tuned his fabled pipes, And blown them in my ear, They had not made a song so sweet, And fine and true and clear. "What hand has touched so rare a chord? What slip has charmed the air To music so divine," I said, "So wistful and so fair?" "They must have looked into the flowers, And twined each fragrant face Into the melodies they play, To give them such a grace! "And every bud that has a birth, And every rose that dies, Has breathed her first- and last sweet breath Into their soulful eyes! "They must have stood at Dido's tomb, Above the lonely plain Where Carthage lies in tears of dust, Thrice risen—and thrice slain! "How must they con the songs of old, Of Sappho, Schiller, Poe, To sing so well the canticles Of freedom, love and wol! I found them playing on the curb— A humble Arab band— With want on every magic viol, And age in every hand! I dropt a coin upon the plate; For thanks of heart and mind, Eight grateful eyes were turned to me, And all of them were blind! —Aloysia Coll, in Youth's Companion. THE LAST NIGHT IN CAMP. By FRED. L. PURDY. Nestled among the tall trees of a river valley in New York State's wilderness is a little cabin. Before the open fireplace in the one large living room two men sit, dreamily gazing at the leaping flames. About them are scattered hunting paraphernalia of all kinds, from boots to guns. On the table well-thumbed volumes show signs of sudden neglect. Pipes, dripping ashes, strew the wooden mantel. The boiling kettle drones lazily. It is the last evening of the last day in camp. To-morrow—back to the world. Charlie, the merchant, rises, stretches, sighs and moves to the west window. His eyes wander afar to the mountains beyond the river, lit by the lights of heaven. In the gathering gloom he marks, the place where the trail to the pond bends between the hills. Beyond he measures the reach of the dry swamp, where the big deer hide. Around the lessening horizon he follows the outlet's flow until it joins the river with a rush—and then he sighs again. "I wish we could stay longer!" There is a plaintive note of regret in his voice. Leslie, the editor, hears, but does not answer. He is seeing things in the fantastic movements of the flames. Charlie picks up his gun, looks over the sights and then slowly pushes an oil rag through the barrel. Then he sits down and gazes again into the fire. Leslie stirs and sighs. He, too, rises, and, from the north window, peers afar to Hardwood Island and Pine Ridge. With his eyes he follows $^2$ the cranberry swamp to the old lumber camp and on beyond to Silver Brook and the raspberry patch. "It's tough to go back to the desk," he says. His voice is no more joyous than that of the merchant, and his words bring no response. Leslie lifts his mud-stained hunting boots, cleans and greases them and hangs them on a hook—for a year. Then he drops again into the chair before the fire. The kettle sings its song louder and louder. An hour silips by—an hour in which the long tramps, the wading of streams and climbing of hills, the shots that meant meat, and the weary but happy faring toward the open grate in the evening—were all silently reviewed and weighed and measured, and measured and weighed and reviewed, by the dreamers before the fire. Leslie turned to the man-made satchel and took from it a man-made linen collar. He looked at it more than casually. He encircled his bronzed neck with it and shuddered. "Did you ever think that there must be a hades?" heasked, reflectively. "Else there would be no hereafter for the man that invented the stiff linen collar." The merchant showed symptoms of taking notice. "The collar fiend does not deserve the measure of torment that has been completely won by the inventor of the boiled shirt," he replied. Then they gazed into the fire and lost themselves in thought. "Well, we must pack up, I suppose," said the merchant atlas. "Yes, we must pack up," dreamily echoed the editor. And they continued to stare at the fire. The moments flew by and outside the gloom increased. The mountains across the river were no longer discernible and the shadows in the woods were deep and dark. By the flicker of the fire the merchant sought his razor, while he ran his tanned fingers through his facial undergrowth. Finding the desired instrument of human torture, he—sat down and again gazed into the flames. The editor yawned and reaching for the drinking cup, interrupted the song of the kettle by filling the cup with hot water. He, too, was thinking of the mowing that civilization demands of man's face. Then he—fixed his eyes on the fire. "It's no use," said the merchant. finally and desperately. "Here goes." He arose, with determination and began the work of preparation for the departure. Lamps were lit, sweaters were doffed and the razors were applied. Then came the packing. It was a busy hour or more unbroken by words. Buckles, clicked, straps creaked and the kettle sang. Inwardly the merchant and the editor groaned. Morning came only to emphasize the regret. Stiff collars chafed pecks, stiff hats pinched heads, stiff shoes crowded feet and stiff shirts held unwilling bodies as in a vise. The sun was shining in the sky, but there were clouds over the hearts of the two men. That world there in the wilderness was beautiful, but the other world—that was different. The wilderness world was made by God—the city world was made by man. Who would not feel, a pang on being compelled to leave the grandeur and freedom of the one to mingle with the pinched soul of the other? It was almost time for the wagon that was to carry them over the mountain road to the man-made railroad. They listened for the chug of the wheels and hoped that noise would not offend their ears. They hoped the wagon-man had forgotten his orders. They grabbed their grips and great coats out of the cabin and listened again. Chug-chug! There it is. The wagon is lurching through the woods. Side by side, the merchant and the editor turned and looked far off on the mountains across the river, n-gitter in the early morning sun. They must soak their souls full of the scene, for they would not see it again for a year—perhaps they would never see it again. "You sports better git spry, if we want to catch that train!" The driver's words fell upon the merchant and the editor as a bludgeon. They tumbled into the wagon and the rough journey from paradise' back to the world was begun—Forest and Stream. OLDEST LONDON POLICE CELL Supposed to Be More Than 200 Years Old—Underground Passage. Beneath a building known as the Old Court House, Wellcose square, Stepney, stand what are said to be the oldest police cells in London, and under these is the entrance to a subway believed to have once led to the Tower, nearly a mile distant. This subterranean passage is now blocked up, and at the entrance there stands a skeleton. The building was formerly known as the High Court of Liberty and is supposed to be over 300 years old. The court, house is now the home of the German Oak Club, and the fine apartment in which trials took place is used for dancing, while the adjoining rooms provide accommodation for billiards. A winding stone staircase leads to the two cells at the rear of the court house. At the top of the stairs is a massive and strongly barred door, with a peephole in it. This leads to the first of the apartments. The only light which penetrates these dirty dens comes through gratings high up against the ceiling, and each is fitted with a shutter, by means of which the cells can be plunged into darkness. Nearly half the floor space in each room is filled by a wooden bed, and attached to the walls are the rusty chains with which the prisoners were manacled. Another object to be seen is a straitfelt made of stiff canvas, with iron rings which can be fastened to the chains. Many names, inscriptions and pictures are carved on the wooden walls. One can still read the name of Edward Burk, who is said to have been hanged for murder. Close by is carved "Edward Ray, December 27, 1758;" and another inscription runs "Francis Brittain, June 27, 1758. Pray remember the poor debtors." On the floor of the first cell can be distinguished the squares of a chessboard, cut in the solid oak. Over the door between the two cells can be traced the words, "The rule of the house is a gallon of beer," and just below, in neater character, are the words, "John Burn came in April 11, 1751." One prisoner broke into verse thus; Another prisoner signed himself "James Carr, smuggler, 1787." The pictorial efforts include churches, a crude representation of the Tower of London, an armchair and the triple emblem of the rose, shamrock and thistle. Running under the roadway of Wellclose square is a dungeon lined with brickwork a foot thick.—London Evening Standard. A New Ice-Making Machine. A new ice-making machine has lately been placed on the market. It works on the principle that water will freeze when evaporated rapidly by means of a vacuum pump and a powerful absorbent, such as sulphuric acid. It is said that the machine can be worked by hand and will turn out carafes of iceed water at the rate of one in three minutes, and blocks of ice weighing about one pound in twenty minutes. The apparatus, consisting of the absorber and the carafe, or the ice mold, are rocked by means of a handwheel and crank, which serves also to create the vacuum. This apparatus is made at Reading, England.—Harper's Weekly. The coming of the Dreadnoughts, as all the world knows, has meant a complete revolution in naval construction. In the opinion of most naval officers the future-is to the Power which possesses most of these ships and can use them well, writes H. W. Wilson, in the London Daily Mail. It will be interest, then, in view of the pause which has been made during the present year in shipbuilding, to examine how the British Navy stands in this latest type of ship and what are the designs likely to be adopted in the near future. The Admiralty is committed to the large battleship and it will scarcely go back. Nor would it be wise to do so in view of the fact that almost all foreign Powers are faithfully copying British designs. For the present year two-monster ships—a battleship and a cruiser—have been voted. The battleship, contrary to the reports circulated will be similar in all important respects, to the St. Vincent's. That is to say she will displace 19,200 tons or thereabouts, will carry ten or twelve 12-inch guns, and will be propelled by turbine engines actuated by steam. Thus she will make up the group of four St. Vincent's, and when she is completed for sea the British Navy will possess two groups, each four strong of all big gun battleships. The other vessel will resemble the Invincibles, with improvements, and will complete the group of four 25-knot cruiser battleships. So much for the present. It will be seen that there is nothing sensational in the design of the ships for this year which are meant to fill the gaps in the existing organization. But next year it is possible that there may be new and startling departures. From hints which Ministers and others have dropped, the Admiralty will be compelled, to ask for not fewer than five monster battleships. More may be needed, but this must necessarily depend on the progress which foreign ships make in the next few months. Germany it must be remembered has now building or sanctioned seven battleships of Dreadnought type (against the British eight) and two, or possibly three, cruisers of the Invincible type (against the British four). And under her fixed program she will lay dbnw three more monster battleships and one more monster cruiser nert year, the battleships, it is believed, displacing 21,000 tons or even more. A British program of five battleships and one monster armored cruiser would bring the British total of Dreadnoughts up to only eleighteen, as against the German total of thirteen or fourteen. 'The British margin of four or five ships, which it would give, would be far less than what the strict two Power standard demands. If, then, we assume that the British program consists of five battleships and one improved Invincible—and nothing less will satisfy the claims of national security—it is probable that the Admiralty will lay down one group of four improved St. Vincent's—four battleships, that is to say, each carrying twelve 12-inch guns. But the fifth battleship may quite possibly be an experimental NO MORE PHOSSY JAW. White Phosphorus in Match Manufacture to Be Prohibited. After many years of agitation the use of the deadly white phosphorus in the manufacture of matches is soon to be prohibited. A bill, backed by Herbert Gladstone and Herbert Samuel, with this object in view was introduced in the House of Commons last week, and fuller details of the measure, which was issued from the printers Saturday, will give satisfaction to the thousands of people employed in this dangerous trade. The government's action is 'the indirect result of the Berne labor conference of September, 1906, when representatives of France, Germany, Italy, Holland, Denmark and Switzerland consulting to the prohibition, Great Britain then withholding her agreement. As the outcome of a consultation with the manufacturers the promoters of the bill now before Parliament have made it possible for less dangerous substitutes for white phosphorus, which are protected by patents, to be obtained on reasonable terms by all manufacturers. The use of the poisonous white phosphorus is not necessary in the business of match-making. Its employment, moreover, is highly dangerous to the work-people, for it gives rise to the painful disease of necrosis of the jaw, commonly known as "phossy jaw." This disease has much the same effect on those attacked by it as that of leprosy, and it works the same horrible ravages on the face and hands. The bill, if it passes into law, will not only forbid the use of white phosphorus in the manufacture of matches, but will also make it illegal for any one to sell or import matches in the making of which white phosphorus has been used.—London Chronicle. While the Chippeau do not care for alcoholic drinks, but are addicted to opium, the Koreans like strong drink and do not care for opium. ship, a new type, built rapidly and tested with the object of gaining experience for a new class, which will figure in the programs of 1910 and 1911. Here much will obviously depend on the action of foreign Powers and whether the reports prove correct which credit the German Admiralty with the intention of building vessels far larger and more powerfully armed than any yet designed. If such an experimental ship is to be built with great speed to obtain experience the orders for her guns, barbettes and machinery will be given well in advance, before she is even voted, and they may be placed in the summer or autumn of the present year. The same course was followed in the case of the Dreadnought. The new ship will not improbably carry a new monster gun, the 13.5-inch, eight or ten of which may be mounted, and will thus carry out the policy of "out-Dreadnoughting the Dreadnought." One or two of these guns, according to report, have been building-for some months, and the employment of them in the St. Vincent class is known to have been considered and only reluctantly abandoned. All the details are confidential, but the German naval handbooks will supply the public with what is certainly an intelligent guess and possibly accurate information. According to them the new 13.5-inch gun will weight eight-six tons, or nearly thirty tons more than the existing 12-inch weapon; will be about fifty-two feet long, and will fire a shell weighing about 1300 pounds or 1400 pounds, as against the 12-inch shell's 850 pounds. Such huge projectiles would pierce five feet of iron and tear their way through the best modern armor at battle range. To mount guns of the size and length so that they will be able to fire on either-broadside is a matter of extreme difficulty so long as funnels remain. But there is some hope of getting rid of them and thus giving a clear field of fire. The Belleville Company is said to be designing a boiler which needs no funnel above water to discharge the waste products of combustion and there is the bare possibility that producer gas engines might be adopted. The firm of Vickers-Maxim has prepared designs for battleships driven by producer gas, and it is understood that it is ready to turn out a Dreadnought using gas forthwith if it finds, any Power adventurous enough to try such an experiment. The Admiralty, however, is not at all likely to install the gas engine in battleships until it has been thoroughly tried in merchantmen and smaller cruisers. But that it will finally come may be taken as certain. The British battleship of 1910 may thus be a vessel of 25,000 tons, mounting eight or ten 88-tons guns, which will be so arranged as to fire on either broadside. She will resemble the new Brazilian ships in carrying twenty 4.7-inch or 6-inch guns for defense against torpedo attack, and will thus be exempt from the most serious falling of the original Dreadnought—the entire absence of a medium battery—New York Sun. MOTORS IN MASSACHUSETTS. Cars Registered at Rate of Fifty a Day—Duplicate Papers. Massachusetts is deriving from the registration of motor vehicles a bigger income than ever has been yielded from that source. Cars have been registered recently at the rate of about fifty each day, and the total number so far since January 1 has been 15,767. Returns for the first half year which have reached the State Treasurer show that the fees collected in connection with the automobile activities by the Massachusetts Highway Commission since December 1 last amounted to $100,782. According to the Motor World about ten per cent, of the cars registered recently have been those of owners having residence in other States, but who have been coming into Massachusetts with their cars for tours or for a stay on a summer outing. About 800 registrations were reissues. This year since December 1 last the total of private operators has reached 4057 and of professional chauffeurs 4480. It is worth noting that out of slightly under 200 new applicants for examination for professional chauffeurs' licenses the commission's examiners rejected about thirty per cent. Preserving Fish in Paper. Some interesting experiments in connection with the carriage of fish were recently made by M. Alfred Goldes, president of the fishery section of the Brussels Chamber of Commerce. Soles caught by Ostend boats off the Portuguese coast were packed in a special vegetable paper, and after sixteen days appeared in much better condition, as regards both freshness and flavor, than those packed in ice. This paper was recommended at the Ostend Fishery Congress of 1907 by Herr Solling, inspector of Danish fisheries. It costs little and takes up but small space. - Harper's Weekly.

ENEMIES OF ARIZONA CHICKENS. Bullsnakes and Big Frogs Get Into the Poultry Houses. About four days ago T. L. Clifford, who owns a fine lot of poultry, was out in the yard engaged in doing the chores when he heard an unusual commotion in his hen house. On opening the door and lighting up the building he was astonished to see a large bullsnake lying in the middle of the floor with its body colled around two chickens, which were yet alive. Mr. Clifford struck at the reptile, landing a blow on its head, when it immediately tightened its coils and crushed the chickens. The snake measured between three and one-half and four feet in length. On Saturday evening the owner was again disturbed by a noise among his fowls, and this time the cause for alarm in the hen house was made by a large frog who had just finished making an evening meal of one of the broilers. Mr. Clifford killed the frog.—Arizona Republican. Fine Ruling. The finest rulings thus far produced by any of the machines are at the rate of something like 250,000 lines to the inch.

Seaweed may be planted in the Schuylkill-River in Pennsylvania, as an experiment to attempt to filter the water which is used for drinking purposes in Philadelphia. Consul General Robert P. Skelner, Marseilles, furnishes, the following information concerning the running of passenger and freight trains on the highways of France: "There recently passed this consult a a Train Renard, composed of a locomotor, two passenger cars and one baggage car, which had just arrived from Paris under its own power and over the ordinary roads, thus supplying to the public a demonstration of its own efficiency. The trains mentioned are composed of elements each receiving the energy of a vehicle called a locomotor, which being placed at the head of the train distributes the necessary power to the following elements by means of a transmission shaft extending from one end of the train to the other, thus enabling each car to utilize its own adhesion to the road surface as a means of advancement. "The locomotor—that is to say, the creator of the energy—is therefore lighter than any of the cars. Trains of this type completely loaded are able to maintain a speed of twenty-one kilometers (13.05 miles) per hour in case of passenger trains on levels and from fifteen to sixteen kilometers (9.32 to 9.94 miles) per hour in the case of freight trains. It is said that the freight trains of this type are able to maintain an average of from ten to twelve kilometers (6.21 to 7.45 miles), fully loaded, in any kind of country. "It would be useless to enter into further details regarding these highroad trains," as far as the United States is concerned, inasmuch as we are without a road system sufficiently advanced to make their application possible. On the other hand the adoption of passenger and freight trains over railless roads in France has become not only a possibility but a fact. Already hundreds of inaccessible hamlets, hitherto served by slow going diligences, are kept in constant contact with the outside world by means of large auto-omnibuses, moving at an average rate of fifteen miles an hour, transporting both passengers and express parcels; and now, following this development, comes the explosive engine motor, drawing full trains of cars, which it is claimed can be operated on level or mountainous roads at an exceedingly moderate expense. In other words, if all that is claimed for these trains is realized, it will be possible to give 25,000 communes in France, which do not at present enjoy railroad facilities, approximately the same advantages with respect to transportation as the most populous and highly favored centres. "This illustrates how much the creation of a better highway system would benefit the rural populations of the United States, who are at a great disadvantage in regard to transportation as compared with foreign communities, and deprived of the various kinds of satisfaction resulting from the existence of modern highways." A Great State Road. In his address before the Pennsylvania Bar Association Governor Stuart led up to eulogy of the plan to construct a great highway across this State from end to end. This project has been frequently discussed during recent years, but never with a better grasp of the principle involved than by Governor Stuart. First, there should be the great trunk line from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia, offering its accommodation alike to the farmer on his way to market and to the tourist seeking pleasure amid the picturesque scenes of the Keystone State. Next, there should be lateral branches, making this great highway accessible from all sections of the Commonwealth. This is a project on which the State of Pennsylvania may well expend sums for the benefit of its people. It is a rich State and great—in all things save its public roads. For reasons clearly set forth by Governor Stuart Pennsylvania has not such highways as it should have. But it is never too late to mend. The great road is by no means to be considered an end. It is only a means—a practical example to encourage counties and townships to build and maintain good public highways. It will serve the purpose of showing the smaller civil divisions how to do the work, and it will exemplify the advantages of having good roads in every district. It is in this aspect that it is given the sanction of the Governor and his encouragement. The time has arrived in this State when good roads are essential to its highest development. Though its industries have thriven amazingly and its farms have prospered, with indifferent roads, its further development demands that which has heretofore been neglected. Its great industrial population must be put in closer touch with its rural population which is destined to grow in numbers and usefulness. Good roads are a necessity.—Pittsburgh Dispatch.

SAVANNAH, OCTOBER 16, 1908. TO THE VOTERS OF THE DISTRICT: This district has done its duty in voting a majority against the outrageous and infamous amendment of disfranchisement to the Georgia constitution—which reflects great credit on the intelligence and sense of justice of the voters of the First District. The next election for President and Vice President of the United States is close at hand, being on Tuesday, November 3, and every man who voted at the last state election or who is registered, is entitled to vote at the coming election, as the result of the vote on disfranchisement does not effect your right to vote for President next month. The Republican party has nominated Judge W. H. Taft for president and Hon. James S. Sherman for vice president, and they present not only all the principles of our party from Abraham Lincoln to the present day, but they also stand for the prosperity of the nation, and against the wrongs being perpetrated by the Democratic party in attempting to rob the colored man of his ballot in Georgia. The committee appointed by the last Republican district convention has decided that they would not nominate a candidate for Congress in this election, but recommend that the voters do their full duty and get a big majority for Taft and Sherman. So there will be no candidate for Congress, at this election for whom you can vote. The chairman of each county will get his committee together at once and so organize as to have his men at each precinct with tickets on election day. The tickets will be sent out in due time. The great wave of Republican victory is rolling on through the mighty west and cast, and success is assured. Let our voters in this district be at the polls on November 3rd and help to swell an overwhelming majority by voting for our candidates Judge W, H. Taft and Hon. James S. Sherman. J. H. DEVEAUX; Chairman. Sol. C. Johnson, Secretary. he held it up for a while, until he thought he couldnot withhold it any longer with due deference to his position as a member of the Cabinet and as an officer who had to obey the orders of his chief. "It is too much to say he ought to have retired rather than enforce that order. His resignation would have availed nothing, for another Secretary of War would have been put in his place, and the battalion would have gone just as it did. I think the evidence conclusively shows that Judge Taft thought the action with reference to the soldiers summary and harsh, and it manifestly unfair to blame him for it, besides, the President has taken the entire responsibility upon his own shoulders. I think this explanation clears away one objection advanced by the opponent of the distinguished Ohioan; after due investigation, the opposition does not seem to be warranted by the facts. The next objection seems to be his speeches on the War Admendments. I did not like those speeches my self. They appeared to be unnecessary; but, happily, the Judge has squared himself on the question of the race's civil and political rights in his letter of acceptance, and he is as flat-footed and as fairly committed to the franchise for the colored man as anybody could very well be. On this point, Judge Laft, among other strong utterance, says: "The republican platform, adopted at Chicago, explicitly demands justice for all men without regard to race or color, and just as explicitly declares for the enforcement and without reservation, in letter and spirit, of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the Constitution. It in needless to state that I stand with my party squarely on that plank in the platform and believe that equal justice to all men, and the fair and impartial enforcement of these amendments is in keeping with the real American spirit of fairplay." This supplemented by his addresses to the Baptist ministers at Cincinnati, who come in a body from their convention at Lexington, Ky., and his recent deliverances to colored audience at Omaha, Kansas City, and Cadiz, Ohio, show that he is absolutely sound on the questions affecting the well-being of the Negro people. The situation is clarified by these timely utterances and the criticisms of the opposition are thrown to the ground by them. Now, then there are the only two objections, as far as I know, that the colored republicans of the country are alarmed about. It appears to me that they are absolutely wiped out, in view of the foregoing, and there is no doubt in my mind that the republican nominee will receive the full vote of the colored people everywhere they have the privilege of casting a ballot. "There are plenty of reasons why the colored men who have always been solidly republican on national questions should fall in line for Taft and keep the old party still in power," continued Mr. Lyons. "From an economic standpoint, no one can gainsay the fact that it is the party of prosperity. It is true there is a little depression at present, but no such financial and business desolation as marked the 'ast,' four years of democratic management, from 1893 to 1897, and the colored citizens of this country felt that more severely than any other class, for they were without employment—and when they had employment, it was at a compensation inadequate to keep them in ordinary comfort." J. H. DEVEAUX; Chairman. "In the South, where I live, 'cotton is king.' This product sold at from one and a half to two cents less than it cost to make it during that awful panic. It doesn't require a very vivid imagination to picture the distress that followed this condition of the cotton market. Nothing of the kind has occurred since McKinley's inauguration in 1897. All lines of business—with few rare exceptions—have been carried on with satisfactory profit. The colored citizens, allied everywhere with the people in business in one way or another, have had their share in this magnificent revival of prosperity, as it was promised they should. "The democratic party of the country is ruled by the democratic party of the South. Its will is paramount; its dictum cannot be disobeyed, without destroying the party in the nation. Bryant must be subservient to its sentiments, or he is lost as a leader. No one knows this better than he. While there are some very excellent southern men, the party is against the black man. This is shown by the disfranchising amendments which has been adopted in all the southern states, depriving the Negro of all standing in the political equation. Should Mr. Bryan be elected he will be compelled to how to will of the party, no matter how liberal he may in a personal sense. We know what the party is by what it has done—that's all. No matter how amiable and friendly a southern democrat may be, the lish of the party caucus will drive any of them as troopers to the support of the caucus decree. To do otherwise, where the Negro's rights are involved, is to invite and receive ostracism of the most cruel and decisive character. And this is what few, if any, southern men can stand. "The 15th Amendment stands as a Rock of Gibraltar, in defense of our liberties. It has been lashed by agryn waves many a time, but every man who knows anything about law, understands that some day when the conscience of the American people is used to the point of acting, the Supreme Court will have to interdict the amendments for the protection of the freedom of every man in the republic, whether he be white or black. The enemies of liberty are fully aware that their un-American scheme of decitizenizing the colored people is unsafe as long as the 15th Amendment stands in the organic law. There are nine justices on the Supreme Bench. In the course of retirement by law and the ravage of time, at least four of these justices will pass away from their high offices. Within the next three or four years, should Mr. Bryan be elected, he will have to fill those vacancies. With the justices who are below the retiring, age, and who are democrats, the four new men will make a devisive majority on the Bench of that persuasion. The Democrats will have control of the court and decisions will be rendered along the lines of their interpretation of the organic law. Who can tell but what a cause might be made up at that time and carried to the Supreme Court, involving the validity of one or more of the war Amendments? We would get a sweeping decision sustaining all of the disfranchising constitutions, that have been fastened upon the states of the South, and thereby leaving us as helpless as were the free people before the war—simply the right to be free; but with the necessity placed upon us to have a guardian to prevent us from being molested and maltreated by every miscreant that felt disposed to commit' violence upon our person or property—such as we might happen to have. No, sir, I'll say I think our folks are making a serious mistake if they propose to desert the old party. It is the party of LINCOLN, and GRANT and McKINLEY. It is the only party with which we have been associated through all the years of freedom. With it we have weathered many a storm. It has been our "rock in a weary land and our shelter in a mighty storm." Our liberties, our rights and our well-being as citizens are bound up in its success. In self-defense, if for no loftier motive, we must continue to make its battles our battles. "Brownsville?" "On that point, let me say this: The Brownsville matter will be adjusted in time by those who have it in charge. Those who are disposed to crucify Judge Taft on account of Brownsville seem to be oblivious of the fact that every democratic Senator who had anything to do with the investigation last spring voted against the restoration of the colored soldiers, and wont further, declaring it to be their policy that every Negro tegiment should be mustered out of the United States Army. How, then, can we go against the Republican party because of a matter which they have tried to settle in our favor, when the democrats, to a man, have voted against us. There is no Brownsville in this campaign. "At any rate," concluded Mr. Lyons, "I believe everything is all right now. Misunderstanding have been cleared away. Our speakers and writers have presented the truth, and the passion-inspired fulminations of the disgruntled ones of our race have been discounted and neutralized. We are in absolute command of the situation. Mr. Lincoln once said: "Never swap horses while crossing a stream." I believe the present a most unpropitious time for the colored people to transfer their allegiance to the democracy. It offers nothing; promises nothing that led us to hope that it is any better today than it was in the days of the original Jeff Davis. We cannot trust it any more than the ancients could trust the Greeks though they came bearing gifts. I do not believe any considerable number of our people will be misled by the disappointed element who are suggesting an alliance with the democracy. As for me and mine, we shall support Judge Taft, and 99 percent. of the race throughout the country will do the same. Judge Taft is a man of noble impulses; he comes of the best American stock; he and his ancestors have an unblemished record on the question of human liberty and civic rights; his conduct as an administrator of the government in Cuba; the Philippines and his dealings with us here in many responsible capacities, indicate that he is without prejudice against races whose skins are darker than his. "Judge Taft will make an ideal President. Every self-respecting Negro in the land will vote for him next Tuesday." Save the Boys If any one desires to leave the race an heritage of "priceless ray serene," let him institute a method of winning the boys from frivolity and wantonness. Let him create a creator of interest that allure the minds of youth from "stolid paths of case," into a strenuous activity that will make for them a place and name as agencies for good. THE TRIBUNE in its last issue cited a rare example of young and active manhood. It wisely pointed to the endeavors and accomplishments of Joseph G. Garey. Institute a modus operandi of which the woods may be filled with Joe Gareys. And no better start can be made than the holding up to public gaze the successful efforts of this young man. Snatch from him his cloak of temerity so that the young men of the city may gaze upon the naked facts. Point out to the public the monuments of his thrift and sagacity so that the old and young may read as they run. And then, there are other things to do. Many and varied are the opportunities for encouraging, and saving the boys. Weave a, drag net and pull them into the churches and Sunday schools. Put the harness on them in the Men's Sunday Club and have them try their strength. There is an abundance of talent in them that is being smothered by frivolity. A bronco bucks when you first harness him, but, finally, he stirs gently even under the lash. Lets save the boys. Lets devote a part of our time in planning out a method, and after the planning lets set to work and interest them. Visit the colleges, normal schools and seminaries. See how few young men enter and remain. Note the number of girls who complete courses. Whom are they to marry? Enumerate the failures of marriage of cultured women to illiterate and improvident men. What is the cause—the remedy? One cannot live above his environment. He must or rather we must work upon the environment. We must make husbands for the cultured daughters, wives for the cultured and provident young men. Rigid pursuasion and training are necessary, and time spent in accomplishing it is not lost. We must build a race strong of racial traits through the development of intelligent, strong and provident individuals, and we benefit as we benefit the race. The recent disfranchisement of the race, places new demands upon us. A school for the instruction of the American idea of government should be established. Young men should be trained to correctly interpret the organic law of the land and the constitution of the State. They should be trained in the art of good citizenship as well as along economic and industrial lines. This latter idea could be better accomplished through special training. Is there a Moses among us? Then let him lead the youth of the city from "ways that are dark and tricks that are vain" into the "promised land" of lofty ideas, thrift and economy. Let him endeavor to awaken sentiment of the Joe Garcy kind, and even in this age of the most strenuous life, he will leave to his race a record well worth emulation. 19th Anniversary. 19th Anniversary Last Sunday closed the celebration of the 19th anniversary of Elm Grove Baptist Church at Meridian, Ga., Ray. R. H. Thomas, pastor. It was one of the most helpful and inspiring meetings ever held in the history of the church. The church is in a healthy condition spiritually-Many attended from near and far, representing in attendance churches within a radius of 18 or 20 miles Sunday School exercises were held at night when a fine program was rendered and the edifice was packed to overflowing.

First Mass at 7 a.m. for institutions. Second Mass at 10 a.m. High Mass and Sermon. Sunday School at 4 p. m. Rosary at Sermon and Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament at 8 p. m. Monday Nov. 2. Commemoration of all the faithful Departed. First Mass at 6:30 a.m. High Mass of Repuiem at 8 a.m. Next Sunday St Benedict's church will celebrate the great Solemity of all Saints one of the great Feast days in the Catholic Church. On that day we are reminded of the joy and glory of all Saints in Heaven. Every day of the year is consecrated to some special Saint. But there countless Saints in Paradise to day, who have never been canonized, there are members of our families, dear old friends perhaps, who after a good Christian life, have been received into the eternal glory of Heaven, and on the 1st of November the Catholic Church all over the world celebrates all those Saints known and unknown. That day shows more intimately the grandor and sublimity "Communion of Saints" and the dogma which teaches us to pray the Saints in Heaven the suffering souls in Pugatory and the earth are sweetly united and there is the same spiritual interest. The morning sermon will be preached by Rev. O Gobrecht and will be the Solemity o the day. The evening sermon will be preached by text, J A Dahlant, subject "Purgatory," text, J It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be lost from sin! II Mach. XII—4. It is a beautiful custom of the Catholic Church to remember the day after the Solemity of all Saints all the Faithful Departed the poor souls in Pugatory. It is a sacred and sweet dogma for the Catholic to believe that there is a place called Purgatory in which the souls which departed this world with the least stain of venial sin, are detained and purified before they can enter enter into the glory of Heaven. We know that "nothing defiled can enter Heaven," and at the other side God in his justice and cannot condemn to be a guilty which the hour of death is guilty only of a small number. There must therefore be an intermediate place, a place of purification which the Catholic call "Purgatory" such has been the constant and universal belief in the church, as we find it in the most ancient writings of the Fathers and the poor suffering souls we can help by our prayers and our good works, and thus we can shorten the time of their sufferings. What a consoling doctrine this is at the hour of bitter bereavement and deep sorrow. On the 2nd of Nov. the poor suffering souls are remembered in the Catholic Church and for that reason there will be a High Mass of Bequiem in St. Benedict's Church. First Tabernacle Dots.

On Thursday of last week on their way to the Georgia Conference, two of the General Officers of the A. M. E. Church in the persons of Rev. W. W. Beckett, D. D. Secretary of Missions and Rev John Hurst, D. D., Financial Secretary, stopped over at St. Phillip parsonage and were the guests of the church for a few hours. As was predicted, Rev. Lindsay has been returned for another year. Rev Lindsay made one of the best reports that was ever made from St. Phillip, breaking all past records. Five hundred dollars of dollar money reported two hundred dollars and any churc in the Georgia Conference and leading the thee. Rev. Lindsay deserves much credit in the way and manner he has conceived the business of the church both spiritually and financially.

Lecturer, during his administration in the great colored church of St. Benedict the Moore, in New York, came in daily contact with the whole colored population in the great metropolis, and in his lecture he will give his daily experiences with the people amonst whom he worked. Father Dahlent, as a New York paper said, "had endeared himself to the colored people of New York city, and there was deep regret on their part at his departure." His lecture will certainly be a sympathetic and interesting account of the religious, social and material conditions of the colored people in the North.

C., Says Life Is Pleasant and Living Economical at Colon-Indians Trade in Gold Nuggets--Gambling Not Popular--All American Games Pursued as Outdoor Sports. New York City--After spending fourteen months on an investigation along the canal zone regarding the allegations that have been brought against certain officials in the employ of the Canal Commission, J. H. Collins returned from Colon, en route for Washington, D. C., to make his report. He declined to discuss it before submitting it to the authorities. thrilling adventures I have over heard. His companions, two American boys, were killed by the Indians last January. "The Baron described the San Blas country as being very rich and the natives warlike. He was certain there is plenty of gold back in the mountains, as the Indians traded for merchandise in gold nuggets, which Mr. Collins said last month was a record one for the amount of money sent to the United States by men employed along the canal. He found them all in good spirits and fond of baseball, bowling, tennis, rowing, and all kinds of healthy outdoor sports. Gambling is not popular nor drinking to. any attent, Mr. Collins found, and this had been so marked during the last year that many of the saloon and gambling house properties closed down. All those who closed up and gone to pastures now. The health of the employees as a whole was good, he said, and the labor conditions at the present time satisfactory. Excellent food at cost price is sent down by the Canal Commission twice a week for the employees and their families. "Just before leaving Panama," said Mr. Collins, "I met Baron von Tuber. He was sent out by the Smithsonian Institution to study the history of Panama, who live in the interior of the Republic of Panama, about seventy miles up the coast on the Pacific side. He told some of the most ! JAPAN'S CORDIAL WELCOME. The Reception of the American Fleet Was Elaborate and Perfectly Carried Out. Tokio, Japan.—The reception accorded the American Atlantic fleet by the Government and people of Japan is conceded by the American naval officers to be the heartiest and most perfectly carried out of the many receptions received by the fleet since it sailed from Hampton Rocds. Rear-Admiral Sperry said that he was utterly unable to say how it had been accomplished but that the welcome given the fleet and its officers and men here had been so carefully planned and carried out to the most minute details that lasting impression has been stamped upon the mind of every American who has witnessed it. feet has merely afforded the Japanese an opportunity for that expression. Admiral Sperry was received at the imperial palace. On the next day the admirals and captains of the fleet were the guests of the Empagor at the palace. Admiral Sperry conveyed to the Emperor a message from President Roosevelt. This message breathes a spirit of friendship and smiles and expresses keen expression of the national friendship between the two nations and an earnest wish for the strengthening and continuance of the friendly relations of the past. Three thousand sailors from the It is impossible to doubt the sincerity of the Japanese. The American officers and sailors are already beginning to understand the fact that the evident desire on the part of the Japanese for the friendship of America, then, on the opportunity, but finds its source in the fact that to show that such friendship, at least on the part of the Japanese, has existed always, and that this visit of the Complete Tyrannosaurus Rex Now For American Natural History Museum. New York City.—Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn, president of the American Museum of Natural History, received word from Great Falls, Mon., that a recently discovered skeleton of the Tyrannosaurus rex, a prehistoric animal, in the Bad Lands several miles south of Glasgow, Mon. The fossil, which is forty feet long and twenty-two feet high, has a perfect skull, an entire set of ribs, backbone and hip girdle and practically supplements the specimen discovered in the same section in 1902. Ever since the first fossil of the "king of the reptiles," as the Tyran- mosaurus rex is called, was found, research parties from the American Museum have been searching through the Bad Lands for a specimen that would complete the missing parts. The first fossil had good hind limbs but incomplete back bones. Dr. Osborn said that he believed the two specimens are about the same size and that the museum will now be enabled to mount the animal complete. During the five years of search fragments of Tyrannosaurus rex have been found from time to time. Dr. Osborn said zoologists would be highly elated over this second discovery. Lincoln, Neb.—The State University senate adopted a rule for bidding young women students to wear hats in classrooms. The order was made necessary by feminine headgear which had grown so large that it not only tested the capacity of the classrooms but interfered with recitations. Another rule adopted prohibits students from shirt-tail parades or kidnapping class orders to break up social gatherings, on penalty of immediate expulsion. thrilling adventures I have ever heard. His companions, two American boys, were killed by the Indians last January. "The Baron described the San Blas country as being very rich and the natives warlike. He was certain there is plenty of gold back in the mountains, as the Indians traded for merchandise in gold nuggets, which had evidently been washed down some mountain stream. He said that the difficulties to be encountered in the San Blas country were very great, as there were no roads at all, the only means of travel being by canoes and navigating tortuous waterways, where an exploring party could be easily ambushed. In addition to the Indians there was the malignant black-water fever to be contended with. "The Baron is making monthly expeditions into the San Blas country on behalf of the Panama Government to teach the natives how to get rid of the swarms of locusts that destroy their crops. He stays in as long as his provisional host. He is accustomed to his brother, H. Hielberg student. The baron said it would be perilous for any white man to attempt to reach the mountains in search of the gold, as the natives have never allowed any strangers to penetrate into the interior. He was only there on suffurance, and had to be always on the alert. Their country is rich in coal and all kinds of fleet has merely afforded the Japanese an opportunity for that expression. Admiral Sperry was received at the imperial palace. On the next day the admirals and captains of the fleet were the guests of the Emperor at the palace. Admiral Sperry conveyed to the Emperor a message from President Roosevelt. This message breathes a spirit of friendship and sympathy and expresses keen expressions of the traditional friendship between the two nations and an earnest wish for the strengthening and continuance of the friendly relations of the three thousand sailors from the American fleet were granted shore liberty daily, and it is remarkable that notwithstanding their largeinement aboard ship not a single difficulty has been reported, bearing out the statement of Admiral Sperry, made in one of his speeches here, that the American sailor of to-day is the result of that development and education which Japan is seeking in every department of her national life. nosaurus rex is called, was found, research parties from the American Museum have been searching through the Bad Lands for a specimen that would complete the missing parts.

In the fishing village of Auchmiltie you may frequently witness seagulls flying into the houses of the fishermen and partaking of food from their hands. One of these sea birds was in the habit of staying in a fisherman's house all the year round except at the breeding season, when it left. About a fortnight ago, while the gull was away, the fisherman removed his home some three and a half miles from the former place. The fisherman never expected to see his old friend the gull again. It was therefore, much to his astonishment that he beheld on a recent Sunday the sea bird come walking into his new residence with stately steps to resume his old familiarities and household wavs.—London Spectator.

Afteringly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Corn and Elfixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objectionable substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists. The Philadelphia Record thinks that there is a sympathetic relation between the matrimonial market and the meat market. When meat is cheap marriages increase; when beef goes up the bonds of matrimony are at a discount. The reason is obvious. But the closeness of the relation between meat quotations and the number of marriages has not been noticed.

VETERANS IN ATLANTA Made Welcome by Thousands of Loyal Georgians. 10,000 MARCHED IN PARADE General Clement Evans Received Ovation Along the Line of March-Governor Smith Reviews Parade. Atlanta, Ga.—Between banks of bared heads which lined the sidewalks and streets of this city, the sweetest sentiment of the south, crystallized in the Confederate Veterans of Georgia, at their eleventh annual reunion in what has been declared to be the biggest and most successful parade ever held by this organization. It is estimated that there were in line of march between 7,500 and 10,000 men, women and children, and that this splendid pageant was witnessed and applauded by 50,000 people, who stood in line and watched the parade, which took an hour and a half to pass a given point. Of this number 3,000 were grizzled veterans of the war between the Confederate States of America and the United States of America, the observed of all observers and the cynosure of all eyes. The lame, the halt and the blind were there. Marching two by two, oftentimes holding hands for guidance and support, they walked with a firm tread, with uplifted faces, lighted THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN General Clement A. Evars, Comman- car-in-Chief of the United Confederate Veterans. countenances and a buoyancy that lifted them above those who watched from the side lines. There was a halo and glamor thrown about these heroes of the old south that brought tears to the eyes of many and checked back the cheers of those who wished to give answer to the ringing rebel yell of, the men who fought for the cause they knew was right. Under a brilliant sun, with the warm October air sending the blood coursing through the veins of all, the parade—and it was a parade of which Atlanta will always be proud—was formed and promptly on time began to move under command of Grand Marshal J. F. Burk, who was mounted upon a spirited charger. Between the banks of cheering thousands he led the way followed by the young lady riders, and other aides, across the vladuct and in front of the governor's mansion, where they halted to review the veterans on parade. With bared heads, riding prancing steeds with the case and grace which made them famous during the dark days of '61-63, came General Clement A. Evans, the idol of the Confederates and the commander of the United Confederate Veterans; General W. A. Wright, who rode a charger, though he lost a leg in the war, with as much ease as any cavalry officer; Captain R. E. Park, and others. Their approach was signalized far down the line by a rumble of cheers, like thunder, which grew into a roar as General Evans arrived, with head bared, gray hair wind-tossed and a smile as sweet as that of a woman for all. His great gray cloak thrown back exposing himself to the wintry winds that swept the streets as fearlessly as, when younger, he faced the bullets for the south he loved so well. And when he passed 'twas like the ceasing of some exquisite song. Cheer after cheer greeted him on all sides, and he was made the central figure of the parade. All military stood at "Present" when he rode by. The governor saluted with uncovered head, and received a courtly salute in return. Preceded by old, and battle-torn flags, the ones that were riddled, with shot and shell, whipped into shreds by the wind and all but gone, the veterans came, 3,000 strong. To the spectators the sight was a sad one. To veterans the parade was a gala manifestation of a reunited body. Some walking on crutches, others walking on wooden legs, still others hobbling on sticks, others carrying empty sleeves and still others bent with age and blind, they walked with heads held high and faces shining. Eyer and anon there would come from one the old rebel yell. It would be taken up by another until it went thundering down the line and was drowned in the applause of those it thrilled. Others marched to the tune of their campfire songs, and "Tenting Tonight," "Dixie," "Suwannee River" and "Nellie Gray" were heard on the streets for the first time in years. They sing it different from the way it is sung now. The various camps, and there were ninety-two, every one in the state, were represented in the parade. Some of the camps were represented by a single delegate and others, like the Atlanta camps, were represented by the entire membership. 126 West Bay Street, Five women who went through the war as nurses, either in the field or at the hospitals at home, marched proudly in the parade with their husbands. It was noticeable and never failed to draw attention. Two old-time negroes, slaves who served in the war as body servants, too, marched in the line of parade just a little in the rear of "old marster." One tooted his knapsack and the other carried a foraged guinea and a shining skillet. A number of the veterans wore their confederate gray uniforms and several had the uniforms which they wore at the surrender. At the business session Athens was chosen as the place for the next convention, and the following officers were elected: Major General Louis G. Young of Savannah, commander of the Georgia division, United Confederate Veterans. Brigadier General John O. Waddell of Cedartown, commander of the Northern Brigade of Georgia. Brigadier General Benjamin Millkin of Jesup, commander of the Southern Brigade of Georgia. Brigadier General J. W. Wilcox of Macon, commander of the Eastern Brigade of Georgia. Brigadier General H. F. Davenport of Americus, commander of the Western Brigade of Georgia. Judge Robert L. Rodgers of Atlanta, historian of the Georgia Division. BOLL WEEVIL IN GEORGIA. Pest Will Soon Arrive in This State If Not Checked. Atlanta, Ga.—"The boll weevil is traveling from the west toward Georgia at the rate of from seventy-five to one hundred miles a year," said State Entomologist E. L. Worsham at the state capitol, "and I believe if it is not checked it will reach the cotton field of Georgia within four or five years." This statement was prompted by the fact that a monster meeting of the agricultural association, entomologists, etc., who are interested in the boll weevil plague, will be held in Natchez, Miss., November 24th to the 27th, for the purpse of devising some means, if possible, for combatting this menace to the cotton crop. Entomologist Worsham has been invited to attend, this meeting and has accepted, United States Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson will be present, as will the various commissioners of agriculture throughout the south. A number of weevils thought to be the boll weevil have been sent to Entomologist Worsham this fall, but upon investigation it has proved that none of them are the dreaded boll weevil, and Georgia is free from this pest up to this date. This department is watching carefully all shipments of cotton seed and cotton seed hulls from the infested districts, and to see that the quarantine law is not evaded. Because of the boll weevil in the west, these tainted seed and hulls are sold more cheaply than the Geor- THIRD. We put up first class goods, at a reasonable price, and guaranteed pure. FOURTH. Our dealing is prompt, and orders for picnics, lodges, churches, excursions and societies given special attention. The New European Question By Sydney Brooks only Powers with definite political and commercial interests in the Baltic Denmark, for example, is emphatically a Baltic Power. A glance at the map shows that the entrance to the Baltic is hers to open or close at will. Great Britain, again, has always made it a cardinal point of her policy to maintain the freedom of the Baltic. Less than three years ago the Channel Fleet was sent to Swinemunde as a warning to all whom it might concern that any attempt to declare the Baltic a closed sea would be regarded as an act hostile to British policy. France, too, is equally concerned in preserving the Baltic as a mare liberum. Moreover, in any comprehensive discussion of the Baltic question as a whole, the problem of the Aland Islands is bound to arise. They lie, it will be seen, off the southern coast of Finland and command the approaches to Stockholm. By the Treaty of Paris, to which Great Britain and France were signatories, Russia, to whom the Aland Islands belong, agreed neither to fortify them nor to use them as a naval or military base. Different opinions may be held as to whether, in the conditions of to-day, it would be better to reaffirm that agreement or to abrogate it or to modify it. But obviously the matter is one in which Great Britain and France have a claim to be heard that cannot be ignored or denied.—Harper's Weekly. ARE YOU A SUBSCRIBER? Communicating With the Dead Ey Sir Oliver Lodge sations with what purported to be the surviving intelligence or certain friends and investigators, we were by no means convinced of their identity even though the talk was of a friendly and intimate character—such as in normal cases would be considered amply and overwhelmingly sufficient for the identification of friends speaking, let us say, through a telephone or a typewriter. We required definite and crucial proof—a proof difficult even to imagine, as well as difficult to supply. The ostensible communicators realize the need of such proof just as furly as we do, and are doing their best to satisfy the rational demand. Some of us think they have already succeeded; others are still doubtful. On the whole, I am of those who, though they would like to see further and still stronger and more continued proofs, are of opinion that a good case has been made out, and that as the best working hypothesis at the present it is legitimate to grant that lucid moments of intercourse with a sex of persons may in the best cases supervene, amid a maze of supernatural material, quite natural under the circumstances, but mostly criminal and less evident kind—Harner's Magazine. gia product, which is attracting some of the merchants. Entomologist Worsham urges that cotton seed and cotton seed hulls be purchased in Georgia from Georgians to avoid running any risk. In view of the fact that cotton seed hulls and meal have come to be accepted as the best cattle feed in the south, being cheaper and more beneficial than any other cattle feed, a great deal of interest is attached to the sale of the cotton seed and its by-products. The cotton seed of Georgia are up to the required standard. T BULLOCH TO TAKE CONVICTS. County Will Have Road Force of Over Fifty Convicts. Statesboro, Ga. At the meeting of the county commissioners here, it was recommended that Bulloch county take all the convicts she can get under the new apportionment that will be made upon the expiration of the present lease on March 30th, next. Under the old apportionment this county was entitled to nineteen convicts. Already about thirty-three misdemeanor convicts are at work on the public roads and together with about twenty-five that the county will receive as her share of the felony convicts a road force of more than fifty convicts will be available. BUILD GOVERNMENT ROAD: Roads May Be Constructed to Milli- tary, Rest, Nean, Atlanta Rome, Ga.-In the opinion of Hon. Gordon Lee, a government road from Chickamauga Park to the military post near Atlanta will be constructed, passing through Rome. Mr. Lee thinks the county commissioners of Walker county will be favorable to the working-of convicts and that it will take its quota for that purpose. The county will likely approve a bond issue of $100,000 for road construction. There is already about 50 miles of government road in Walker county and-a bond issue will give an additional 100 miles. C SEEK SOLDIERS FROM CUBA Savannah Discusses Their Location in That City. Savannah, Ga. - Savannah retail merchants are anxious to secure the Cuban army of occupation for this city, when the 20,000 men that comprise that army are ordered back to the United States. A sharp fight has been in progress, some Savannahians being outspoken in their opposition to the plan of bringing the troops here, though others are equally desirons that a permanent camp be established Sayannah, Ga. HE object, then, of the present negotiations between the governments of Stockholm, Berlin, and St. Petersburg is to assure to Sweden a standing and a security equal to that which the treaty of last November bestowed upon Norway; and the means by which that object is to be attained is a declaration on the part of these three Powers that they intend to respect the status quo in the Baltic. So far as it goes, all this is quite satisfactory, but it does not go very far. Germany, Russia, and Sweden are by no means the ROSS-CORRESPONDENCE—that is, the reception of part of a message through one medium and part through another is good evidence of one intelligence dominating both automatists. And if the message is characteristic of some one particular deceased person, and is received through people to whom he was not intimately known, then it is a fair proof of the continued intellectual activity of that personality. ae a
