VOL. XXIV. Infuriated Mob Loots Caracas Destroying Valuable Property. PICTURES OF CASTRO BURNED El Constitucional; the Presidents's Official Organ has Suspended Publication. Castro Don't Believe it. Caracas, Venezuela.—The people of Caracas arose against President Castro. An infuriated mob, unhindered by the police, swept through the city, wrecking the property of his henchmen and his closest friends. The people rounded up all the statues and pictures of President Castro from the clubs and other semi-public buildings and burned them with rejoicing on the Plaza Bolivar. Castro's rule in Venezuela probably is ended. In spite of Holland's warlike activity on the coast there have been no demonstrations against the Netherlands; they all have been directed against President Castro and Acting President Gomez. The first building to be attacked and looted was that of the lottery monopoly. The officers of the state enterprise that has enriched itself at the expense of the people were ransacked and pillaged. Furniture was broken and thrown into the streets and thousands of lottery tickets were destroyed. The crowd then moved to the printing office of El Constituacional, the regal of President Castro, of which Gumersindo Rivas is editor, and pillaged it completely. A steam laundry belonging to Senor Rivas also was wrecked. The crowd then turned its attention to several drug stores belonging to Senor Thielen, a son-in-law of General Tello Mendoza, and turned them inside out. The statues and pictures of President Castro were made into a huge bonfire on the Plaza Bollvar. The crowd cheered as the flames completed, the destruction of these effigies of the dictator. Numerous inscriptions setting forth the virtues of Castro and extolling his powers next attracted the retaliation of the mob, and every inscription bearing Castro's name was hacked and erased. Some of these legends were carved on the public buildings of the city. El. Constitutional has suspended publication and Caracas is practically without a newspaper. Berlin, Germany; — President Castro of Venezuela, maintains his composure in the face of alarming reports which have been published here regarding the disturbances in Venezuela. When dispatches were shown to him that the people of Caracas had arisen against him, burned the pictures and statues of the president in the public square, and had made an attack on a number of buildings, including the stores of several of his warmest adherents, and that several persons had been killed, Castro said: "I don't believe it. I have had dispatches from Caracas, but they said nothing of the kind." FOR INSIDE WATER ROUTE. Colonel Kingman Reports on Savannas-Fernandina, Channel Washington, D. C.-Secretary Wright has transmitted a report by Colonel Kingman, corps of engineers, on the survey of the inside water route between Savannah and Fernandina, made with a view to determining the best route of the proposed waterway. Improvement of this route, as a whole, has been carried on by the general government since 1892, and has for its object the securing of a sheltered or land-locked route along the coast line between the ports named, with a minimum-depth of seven-feet. Colonel Kingman recommends the continuation of the improvement of the same general depth, but with increased width of channel, with a change of route at two points, and the addition of alternative' or auxiliary channels at four other localities. The estimated cost is $237,700, of which $75,000 is for a dredging vessel. LABELS MUST TELL THE TRURH. Misleading Phrases Barred Under Decision of Pure Food Law. Washington, D. C. — Unscrupulous and otherwise misleading phrases in guarantee labels used by manufacturers are barred under a decision promulgated by the pure food and drug board with the approval of Secretaries Cortelyou, Wilson and Straus. The decision conforms to the recent refusal of Commissioner of Patents Moore to register trademarks, which include the phrase "guaranteed under the food and drugs act, June 30, 1906" on the ground that it was misleading. BETTER HOMES FOR DIPLOMATS. thinking, D. C.-Determined that dignity of the United States shall longer be jeopardized by the failure of his government to provide suitable lodings for its diplomatic and consular deputies, abroad, advocates of immediate appropriation to begin the construction or purchase of suitable buildings have decided to press the matter at this session of congress. The members of the committee on foreign affairs have agreed to stand behind the Longwool bill, introduced at the last session, and agree the appropriation of $1,000,000 annually.

POPULAR VOTE FOR PRESIDENT. Complete Figures on National Election Have Been Compiled New York City. The total popular vote of the various presidential candidates at the last national election was made known in an official form by the filing of the last of the official vote, that of Michigan. The total shows the following votes cast: Taft, republican . . . 7,627,676 Bryan, democrat . . . 6,398,182 Debs, socialist . . . 448,453 Chafin, prohibitionist 241,252 Hisgen, independence 83,186 Watson, populist . . . 33,871 Gilhaus, social labor. . . 15,421 Total. . . . 14,852,239 This grand total exceeds by 1,341,531 the total number of votes cast in the presidential election of 1904, when the grand total was 13,510,708. Compared with that election the candidates of the republican, democratic and socialist parties increased their vote this year. The reverse is true of the candidates of the prohibition, populist and socialist labor parties The biggest difference in a party is shown in an increase for Bryan of I, 315,211 over the total vote cast in 1904 for Alton B. Parker, the democratic candidate. Taft received 14,190 votes more than were polled for president Roosevelt in 1904, and Debs ran 45,368 ahead of his predecessor on the socialist ticket. The heaviest loss is shown by the populists, who, with the same candidate, registered 83,312 votes less this year than in 1504, when their total was 117,183. The prohibitionist candidate, Chafin, ran 17,284 votes behind the 1904 mark of his party, and Gilhaus, the socialist labor candidate, received only about 50 per cent of the vote given to Corrigan, which was 31,249 in the previous presidential race. Rockefeller Will Give Millions. Chicago, Ill.—According to a professor of the University of Chicago, John D. Rockefeller will devote $50,000,000 to the promotion of education in Oriental countries. "Mr. Rockefeller is only awaiting the reports of Professor Ernest Burton and Professor Thomas G. Chamberlain," said the professor. Professor Burton is now in India and Professor Chamberlain will start for China next month; "Adam God" Pleads Not Kansas City, Mo.—Trembling with fear, their spirit broken with the fear, their reputation with the faith, James Sharpe, "Adam God," and three his followers, almost without a word in their own behalf, entered pleas of not guilty when arraigned before Justice Hemley on charges of first degree murder, growing out of the killing of the five people in the street riot in which the police and the Holy Rollers took part. Bonaparte. Not in Cabinet. Baltimore, Md.—That Attorney General Charles I. Bonaparte will not be a member of President Taft's cabinet was the definite statement made here by Mr. Bonaparte. In view of President Roosevelt's deliberate misstatement of fact in his scandalous personal attack upon Mr. Delavan Smith editor of the Indianapolis News, the World calls upon the congress of the United States to make immediately a full and impartial investigation of the entire Panama canal scandal. Why did the United States pay $40,000,000 for a bankrupt property whose control could not doubtedly have been bought in the open market for less than $4,000,000. ▲ Who were the new Panama? Canal: company Among whom was divided the ▲ ▲ $15,000,000 paid to the new Pan- ama Canal, company? ▲ Washington, D. C. — In language more emphatically denunciatory than ever before used in a similar docu- ment, President Roosevelt excoriated Joseph Pulitzer, editor of The New York World, for attacks on the ad- ministration in connection with the Panama canal purchase. Mr. Pulitzer's charges are characterized as scurrilous and libelous, and the president brands him as a villier of the American people. He asserts that the government will proceed against Mr. Pulitzer for libel. The message is considered one of the most merguless denunciations ever administered by a president of the United States. Repeated peals of laughter greeted the reading of the opening paragraph of the president's messages to congress on the Panama canal charges. The message elicited the greatest interest in the house. The members gave close attention during the reading of the document, and there was a ripple of laughter over the president's characterization of Joseph Pulitzer, publisher of the New York World. The message, with its accompanying papers, was referred to committee. Accompanying the president's message was a large bundle of documents bearing upon the transfer of the canal property to the United States. Many of these documents were in French, without English translation. There was nothing which showed directly the persons who received the $40,000,000 paid by the United States, but there was included a list of about 7,000 stockholders in the old and new Panama canal companies, all of them citizens of France and of, the Colombian republic. There was not the name of a citizen of the United States in the entire list. New York City.—The World, in the course of its answer to President Roosevelt's references to that paper in his special message to congress, says: "Mr. Roosevelt is mistaken. He cannot muzzle the World. "So far as the World is concerned, its proprietor may go to jail, if Mr. Roosevelt succeeds, as he threatens; but even in jail the World will not cease to be a fearless champion of free speech, a free press and a free people." "Joseph Pulitzer, proprietor of the World, sald." "So far as I am personally concerned I was at-sea during the whole of October and, in fact; practically for two years I have been yachting on account of my health. I never read a word or syllable of this Panama story, was not in communication with the paper and had nothing to do with it. Mr. Roosevelt knows all this perfectly. He knows I am a chronicle invalid and mostly abroad yachting on account of my health. I think his anger is simply due to the sharp attacks made by the World-on him politically. For that, perhaps; I am responsible; that is, for the political criticism of Roosevelt on public and political grounds, solely. I am really sorry he should be so very angry, but the World will continue to criticise him without a shadow of fear, if he should succeed in compelling me to edit the paper in jail." PROGRESS OF AGRIGULTURE Secretary Wilson Reviews. Advance Made in Past Twelve Years. Washington, D. G.-Secretary Jas. Wilson of the department of agriculture, after twelve years of service in his twelfth annual report to the president, renders a comprehensive account of his stewardship and presents a review of the progress of agriculture in the United States during this period. Concerning the farm production of 1908, he says that the farmer has created wealth by the billions. Production has been above the average of recent years with few exceptions; and, while, some prices have fallen, others have risen. PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS Matters of Importance Before the National Lawmakers. The senate Wednesday decided to enter upon an investigation, relative to the portion of the president's annual message, which criticizes the action of congress in prohibiting the detail of secret service men to duty in other departments. It was decided that Senator Aldrich should stand as sponsor for the measure, and the Rhode Island senator presented a resolution authorizing the inquary. The house Wednesday defeated by 59 to 103 the Garrett amendment to the penal code bill Penalties the transmission by mail of any advertisement or information having reference to dealings in futures where the delivery of the article bought cannot be made. Although two meeting of the special committee of the house to recommend action on the president's reference to the motives of congress in laying a limitation on the use of the secret service force were held, the committee was unable to reach a unanimous agreement, and adjourned. By a vote of 146 to 134 the house insurgents, with the aid of the democrats, Tuesday, voted to discharge the committee on foreign affairs, which had tabled a resolution introduced by Mr. Gardner to call upon the secretary of state, to ascertain what steps had been taken by the British house of commons in the matter of rules. The house heard the president's special message concerning the charges of dishonesty, in the handling of the Panama canal appropriation without comment. A concurrent resolution providing for a holiday adjournment of congress on December 19 until January 4, which had already passed the house, was adopted by the senate on Tuesday. The president's special message was read in the senate and created much merriment. It was referred to a committee. While considering bills dealing with affairs in the District of Columbia, the house Monday passed a measure providing for 85-cent gas in Washington. The bill now goes to the senate, as well as another bill abolishing the bucket-shops in the district. A bill providing for free lectures in the public schools was voted down. An attempt by Representative Henry of Texas to obtain a change in the reference of a bill prohibiting the making of future contracts on agricultural products, brought forth the promise from Chairman Scott of the agricultural committee, that his committee would soon grant hearings to farmers' unions and others on this subject. The house voted to adjourn Saturday, December 19, to Monday, January 4, and adjourned for the day. The president's message on the Brownsville investigation was read in the senate Monday. Senator Foraker proposed that a commission, headed by General Chafee, be appointed to investigate Brownsville affair. The senate adjourned without taking action. The house of representatives Saturday was in its old time form. Parliamentary tactics were freely resorted to, with the result that five times the roll was called. The first wrangle occurred on a resolution, fixing the boundary line between the states of Colorado, Oklahoma and New Mexico, which was adopted by a good majority, but not without two roll calls. The house, then by a decisive vote, refused to further consider the bill providing for arbitrary settlement of disputes between employers and employees next turning attention to the bill providing for the protection of allens in the United States; the subject was threshed out at length. The measure had rough sailing, and it was passed by a slim majority, after the roll had been called twice. The senate was not in session Saturday. A resolution was presented in the house Friday calling for investigation relative to charges in president's message on secret service. The house began reading and debate on the legislative, judicial and executive appropriation bill. The committee on commerce made tentative plans for investigating a trip, to the Isthmus of Panama. The senate was not in session Friday. NEWSY PARAiRAPHS. It was announced in New York city that the publication of the memoirs of United States Senator Thomas C. Platt would be begun in a well known magazine in March. Politicians heard the announcement with interest bordering in some cases on solicitude. The senator's recollections, it is said, have been written with great freedom and, frankness, and deal with political matters, great and small, and politicians of varying degrees of fame over a period of half a century. "The First National bank of Eufaula, Okla., was dynamited by robbers who escaped with $15,000. Dr. Birdhouss pleaded guilty in court at Jackson, Miss., to murdering Dr. Pitts and was sentenced to life imprisonment. The plea was the result of an agreement between counsel. Between one thousand eight hundred and two thousand union miners on Pain't Cresk, Kanawha county, West Virginia, quit work in obedience to the strike order by President Ben Payls of District 17, United Mine workers. Governor-lect Lilly of Connecticut has named Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. of Thompsonville, Conn., as a major on his staff of military aides-d-camp. In making the appointment, Mr. Lilly says, he was influenced by his acquaintance with young Roosevelt and admiration for his many sterling qualities. Washington, D. C. Five negroes now living in Georgia are charged in evidence submitted by President Roosevelt, to the senate with having been conspicuously involved in the shooting up of Brownsville, Texas, on August 13 and 14, 1906. Boyd Conyers of Monroe, Ga., and John Holloman, now living quietly in Macon, Ga., are accused by special investigators of the war department with having been ringleaders in the riot. Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, of Ohio, a member of the senate committee on military affairs, which investigated the attack and who defended the negroes in committee, and on the floor of the senate, is charged, with having encouraged, discharged negro soldiers to adhere to false testimony given before the committee. President Rosevelt in his message to the senate, declares that all the members in companies B, C and D were more or less guilty. He declares all the members of B troop must have been actively concerned in the shooting array, and that the members of the two other companies were guilty of complicity and of concealing the facts. He recommends that the secretary of war, within a year, be authorized to reinstate such members of the discharged battalion as will tell the truth and assist in fixing the blame upon those actually guilty of firing the shots. The president seeks to divide the "less guilty" from those whose guilt heinous. That country no longer throughout the country now know those guilty of participation in the Brownsville affray, and are shielding members of their own race is the charge made by Harbert J. Brown, and Captain W. G. Baldwin, who conducted the investigation. CREATORS OF FASHION Have Promulgated Styles, for "Woman's Wearing Apparel." Toledo, Ohio—The convention of the Cloak, Suit and Shirt Manufacturers' association, which has been in session here, has promulgated the styles of wearing apparel next spring. The feature of the new styles for women will be the vertical effect given the wearers.

Union City, Tenn.—With both the prosecution and the defense announcing ready for trial, the latter, however, under protest, the concluding chapter in the prosecution on a charge of murder of the eight men held most responsible for the *ralds* of the night rider*band* of the Reefoot lake region was begun. Until the trials are concluded, but slight intermissions for the Christmas holidays will be had, in what promises to be the most vigorously contested legal battle ever fought in the courts of West Tennessee; on the outcome of which will, to a large extent, depend what will follow in the efforts of the state to stamp out the night rider clan of the lake.

General Ascending in an airship in order to be able to scatter money among the people with more quality is the experience of E. E. Oscar Hart, a mining man of Skiddoo, Caff. At an amusement park in Los Angeles, Cal. Hart ascended for twenty minutes in an airship while he threw handful of money to a crowd of two thousand people below. He is said to have disposed of a considerable sum. With two hundred and sixty sealskins taken nearer the south pole than any sealer have been before, the sealing schooner Agnes G. Donahue has arrived at Dunbane, South Africa. The Agnes G. Donahue left Hallbax, N. S., September 1 on what is to be the longest sealing cruise ever taken. Arrangements have been made looking to the establishment in Pekin, China, of an American branch of the International Banking corporation. This is the first American bank in the east to join the group of British, French, German and Japanese institutions which has been in existence here since 1902. The purpose of the Pekin branch is to test the opportunities for American capital, especially in connection with the development of Manchuria. "Insanity grows three times as fast in proportion as the increase in population in the United States." Dr. David Paulson, president of the anticigareet league, made this statement in Chicago recently. "China," he continued, "used twenty-six grains of opium last year for every man, woman and child. The United States used fifty-six grains. There are at least one million opium users in this country." The people of Chicago are suffering from melancholia because they have too few amusements and too much severity in life. They ought to get all the wholesome fun possible out of life. This was the view expressed by the Rev. Johnston Myers, in an address to Baptist ministers of that city. The speaker made a plea for the theater, the dance and a more tolerant application of religion. The city council of Bessemer, Ala., has included an item in the annual license schedule of that city imposing, a tax of $50 a year on bachelors over the age of thirty. Washington Under authority of the recent Rivers and Harbors Congress convention, Representative Randsell of Louisiana, has announced the appointment of a committee to prepare measures to be introduced in congress providing for an issue of $500,000,000 bonds for financing the national waterway projects and to create a commission to investigate the waterways here and abroad. It is not feasible and desirable at the present time for the government to purchase, to install or to operate pneumatic tubes. This is one of the most important conclusions reached by a commission appointed by the postmaster general to inquire into the question of the feasibility and desirability of the government purchasing and operating pneumatic tubes in the cities where the service is now installed, which was transmitted to congress by Postmaster General Meyer, the conclusions of which he approves. Secretary Strauss has referred to a special committee in the department of commerce and labor the advisability of calling together important labor leaders, publicists and directors of big industries to consider several questions of importance throughout the country. He suggested that the meeting be held at the department of commerce and labor about January 2. An order has been signed by Postmaster General Meyer advancing two hundred fourth-class post offices to the presidential class, effective January 1. Postmasters of the presidential class are allowed salary of from $1,000 to $1,500 in place of the fourth-class stamp commission. The president has sent to the senate the following nominations: Member of the Isthmian canal commission, Lieutenant-Colonel Harry F. Hodges, corps of engineers.

Portraying Augustus Saint Gaudens as a great sculptor, whose works will stand in the very forefront among the masterpieces of the greatest periods and the greatest people. President Roosevelt at an exhibition of St. Gaudens' works at the Corocoran Gallerter of Art, under the auspices of the American Institute of Architects, paid eulogium to that artist's mastery of his craft. In announcing that the new 10-cent special delivery stamp would be placed on sale in Washington, the postoffice department called attention to its opposition to discontinuing its use of that stamp. This is despite the authorized practice of amusing the words special delivery written or printed on the envelope in addition to the ordinary postage. One such storms Christmas night, as Dudley pleaded in the mournard after sheltering his stock, he was a prey to the most munchish relations. He thought of his husband, his poverty, and felt that the future held within the stories for him, he neared his faint end and he feared the chimes of the nearest knight ringing out, through the frosty night. His dark humor did not escape this notice of his 'wife' when he entered his lowly hut. 'She self' the children to amuse him, and soon saw him smile as he listened to their prattle. At the evening wore on the storm passed he seated before the fire blazing in the dimly fenced Sugars for his discontent, happy at being sheltered from the raging tempest. When the family were about to sit down to calling his family a good knock, and a voice outside cried: 'The door, my good man, for me to wake up, my dear brother, we celebrate this night.' 'I am an old man who has traveled many a weary mile in this terrible war, and to my strength and can go no further. Open the door, if thou hast any kindness in thy Now, Eudes had a great deal of kindness in his heart, so he opened the door at once. On the threshold stood a stately old man, beautiful to behold, with luxurious white beard and hair, "lifed eyes!" There was nothing sorrow in his dress. He carried a heavy cane, upon which he leaned with dignity and grace. "Welcome, old man," said the shepherd, cordially. "I thank thee my son. My blessings be upon thy house." The visitor spoke slowly, and his voice was like soothing music. "May I ask you to share our frugal money?" asked Eudes. "You may beg me, my sister, to listen to the words of welcome my heart is already cheered." Going up to the cradle where the children were sleeping, he paused, and contemplated them. "The cherub! How peacefully they sleep, and how gives their dreams must be! On this Christmas night visions of the Child Jesus doubtless smile upon them." Eudes and his wife felt themselves moved in a mysterious way as they listened to the sweet voice: "The life of Hillemer was born in a strange and unknown place the air is *Happy* *y* *y* humble man who, like the *the* *Eudes*, walks peacefully along the pathways of *the* *Phi* *Phi* underder tar over this world, *did* have seen many *strike* *things*.

O'Connor, senior member of the firm of O'Connor, O'Byrne and Hartridge. He was beloved by his friends, and had a number of colored admirers. We would count it among our blessings, if during the coming year the board of education out of the fullness of heart, decide to give the colored children a new school building. It is badly needed, and we earnestly appeal to them for consideration along this line. We do not begrudge our white friends for the various institutions that they have for the care of their boys and girls and aged oases, but are very anxious for the establishment of similar institutions in order that the number of our poor boys and girls and the old folks could be cared for in a manner that will add inspiration for good in their lives.

Mr. Meldrim is a gentleman well liked by all and conscientious in the discharge of his duties. This court will be of untold good in this community headed by such a juni-t as our able Judge Charlton who is a gentleman of the old school, and one whom we all take delight in honoring. The large number of admirers of Alderman A. S. Guckenheimer regret very much that he has announced that he will not be a candidate for the mayoralty. Mr. Guckenheimer is among our most substantial business men, loyal to the interests of the city and would make a mayor that every class of citizen would admire. It is hoped that affairs may be so shaped as to cause him to announce his candidacy, and which will undoubtedly mean his electoin: It was reported, that the industrial feature of Morris Brown College would be abolished. Much credence was given it, especially by those daily papers that are anxious to jump on the least-item in order to reflect on the race. The word of trustees at a meeting held last week effectively repudiated this report. It is reported that an element in the church is bent on stirring up strife. It is assured that Bishop Smith is fully capable of handling the outbreak and will do so in a way that will not reflect on his administration. Mr. Taft's speech before the North Carolina Society has caused much comment. From the address an insight to his southern policy was ascertained. There are those who have taken divergent views of the speech and have placed thereon their own construction. There was nothing in Mr Taft's utterance to cause any alarm whatever among our people. His frankness in giving vent to his opinion on questions that effect us is to be commended. Because Mr. Taft said that he was in favor of disfranchisement he has nettled many, who had no doubt misunderstood his full intent We are as much in favor of the disfranchisement law as does Mr. Taft, but it should be enforced regardless of race. The ignorant of each race should be disfranchised. The Georgia law would meet fully our approbation if it was net discriminative. We can find no fault with Mr. Taft's policy as presented on this occasion Every now and then there comes forward some fellow with a scheme to make glorious the condition of our people, and as often these schemes have terminated as financial benefit to the promoters. Our people especially our white friends should be careful how they foster all kinds of high sounding schemes that look as-if they tend toward the amelioration of the condition of the race. We can only caution our friends to beware. MENIFY Christmas will be with us next Friday, a time when every heart should be made glad on account of the advent of One who is the Saviour of mankind. While those of us who are able to are making merry, let us not be unmindful of the more unfortunate ones in our midst. Assist in making their hearts happy THERE is no use for the usual hilarity that welcomes Christmas in this community. The good cheer of the season does not mean for us to get over joyful from the use of ardent spirits thereby creating disturbances, etc. Emanclipation Association The Emancipation Association held its annual meeting on Wednesday and elected the following officers: Rev. H. L. Haywood, president; Rev. J. A. Lindsay, vice president; Rev. W. A. Daughtry, treasurer; Rev. B. S. Hannah, secretary.

Benedict's Church Cemetery and East Pond Drive Gaston and East Broad streets Next Sunday will be the 4th Sunday in Advent. First mass at 7 a.m with a short instruction. High mass and sermon at 10:30 a.m. Sunday school at 4 p.m. Evening devotions, consisting in rosary, sermon and benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament at 8 p.m. The morning sermon will be preached by Rev. J A Dahlent, subject. "Wonderful preparations made by Providence in the world for the coming of the Saviour. Our own preparation for Christmas." In the evening Rev. G Obrecht will continue his instructions on the commandments. The work of the painting of St. Benedict's Church is progressing; Mr. W. C. Kayear will not be very long with his two workmen during the next few days, as he expects to have the work completed for Christmas. The outside is already finished. St. Benedict's Church looks pretty with its new coat of paint; its appearance is entirely changed; the two light plush colors are bleaching splendidly with each other and present a lovely aspect in the rays of our beautiful southern sun. The members of St. Benedict's are tightly proud of their little church and its very aspect amply compensates them for the little sacrifices which they have made to accomplish these grand improvements. Great preparations are being made for the splendid celebrations of the great festival of Christmas. An account of the celebration will be given in the TRIBUNE later on, for the Catholics' Christmas is the greatest feast day of the year. The most striking feature of this grand and beautiful day is the early celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the mass. It is an old custom in the Catholic Church to celebrate mass at mid night; on the very hour of the birth of the Saviour. On account of divers circumstances, the celebration in Savannah is held in the early morning. In St. Benedict's Church there will be a solemn high mass at 9:30 a.m. on Christmas morning. Great crowds are generally present at that early service. Therefore, those who wish to attend that beautiful celebration, are requested to come in time, if they want to secure a seat. The church will be open at 5 o'clock in the morning. F. B. B. Church Dots. F. B. B. Church Dots. The capacity of the church and altterium was packed and the gallery was much used on Sunday night so many were the persons who attended church in honor of our distinguished guest, Parity Lodge No. 133, I O O G S and D of S of N A. Rev. Wright read for the lesson Ehp 51:25. The text was from John 4:25-29, subject "The Woman of Samarla." Those who heard Rev. Wright seemed to be much impressed at the eloquence and earnestness that filled his sermon. The choir sweetly sang "O Jerusalem" at the close of the sermon. Rev. Wright had the church to sing "See in the vineyard of the Lord a barren fig tree stands." Strong men and women bowed to have their cases taken to a throne of grace by Rev. Wright. The lodge contributed liberally to the church, pastor and sexton, Deacon John Marsh has been quite ill for several weeks. Rev. Wright and our amiable deacons are doing a great work in caring for the sick. The pastor has appointed several sisters to see about the sick members. He says they must not suffer not even for medical attention. The lecture room has been beautifully renovated. We attended prayer meeting in it on Tuesday night and it was a glorious meeting that shall long be remembered. You will be pleased to attend our church and we will be glad to see all visitors. F. A. B. Church. West Broad and Bolton streets. The meeting on last Sunday was largey attended. We received a logistical sermon from Rev. McTier at 11 a.m. At night our pastor Rev. L W Boynton occupied the pulpit and preached to a large congregation. The subject was well headed, He is a profound thinker, come and hear him. He will preach on the Mt. Tabor text "It is good to be here." The pastor and church regret very much the illness of Deacon J H Hooker Hoping the Lord will restore him soon. Second Baptist Church Second Baptist Church. The "muscale" given here last week was quite successful. It was under the general management of Mr. C. F. Waters and Mr. Waters is an untriling, loyal and faithful worker of this church and has been since his religious career here Mrs. E. A. Dempsey directed an excellent supper for the Apollo Orchestra; the young ladies who were in immediate charge of the supper table Misses Romena Gilliard, Josephine Drayton, Cornelia Osborne and Selika Anderson. These are some of the most prominent young ladies in the church and their service upon this occasion was invaluable till all present noticed and congratulated them. The Orchestra was at its best and high compliments were given them by all. Success to them is our wishes. Deacon L. A. Mack was secretary; Mrs. M. E. May was program conductress. The songs from the deacon board, chair, choral union, Mrs Smith, Miss Jones also Mr. Julius Jenkins were excellent indeed. A large sick list and a number of deaths are recorded this week.

Among our congregation on Sunday were many visitors. The services on Sunday are growing to be very popular. Rev. Lindsay preached at 11 o'clock and again at 8 p.m. At 11 a.m the choir and congregation sang "Another six days is gone." Rev. Lindsay's text was from Matt. 21:42, subject "The stone which the butlers rejected has become the corner stone." He dwelt at length on the subject and illustrating the temporal buildings of the world with our spiritual buildings. This 'discourse was listened to with marked attention. It was certainly a spiritual treat. At night Rev. Lindsay again delivered an eloquent discourse. The sign of the time point to a busy year with the pastor, officers and members of St. Philip. A hint to the wise is sufficient. Prof. Baldwin, our popular Sunday school superintendent and his corps of faithful teachers are making preparations for the coming of the Teddy Bears one week hence. Rev. Lindsay is one of the trustees of Morris Brown College, Atlanta. Ga. He made a business trip at a meeting of the board and reports anything in a flourishing condition and the school second to none. On Thursday night Mr. George Glimore and Miss Emily Smith were joined in holy wedlock at the parsonage by Rev. Lindsay. Mr. and Mrs. Glimore are popular members of St. Philip. Mr. P. H.

He located his office in a section where much good could be done, and he did it in a way that endeared him to the people especial ly of that locality.

Queen Maud of Norway has innumerable hobbies and recreations, many of them being of a very useful and practical nature. She devotes many hours to sewing, wood carving, and bookbinding, and in regard to the latter work it turned out some really beautiful specimens of the craft. Like Queen Alexandra, her mother Queen Maud is very skilful with the beading while such as her skill in outdoor sports that she is her husband's constant companion when his majesty indulges in glating, skiing, motorizing, and cycling excursions.

This may be because: it is necessary to send bodies such a great distance to be cremated.

Everything comes to him who waits, and the Parisians—mascine—who dreamed so long because the annoyance of the theatre hat are now to care their rights. Either no indulgence, thus or a few exciting rows—but more probably both hats and rows—may be expected in Paris theatre when the season opens again. The even through anil thoughtful Prefect de la ville as the Telleguerne correspondent tells us, has just issued a new draft of regulations for places of entertainment. In the minds of own regulations onstandards it says that no person may obstruct the view of any spectator during a performance, and if so offending may be compelled to remove the obstruction, or his or her self. Henceforth the arm of the law may be called in to remove the obstructing hat. Relieved of the column of hedge to the ladder, one can lay in the home frame. However, the taking off of a hat from a lady's head by the brawny arm of a uniformed municipal guard will not be a spectacle without incident, crises, and denouement. Of course, no one expects the master's hat to forestall the hat by wearing small hats. On the contrary, milliners, according to our authority, are exercising an almost diabolical ingenuity in their long-lived schemes for next winter. For many years past it has been impossible to see over a Parisienne's hail but one could sometimes see under it, and catch ripples of the right and left wing of the stale midwife's intercepted by the nape of a neck billowing with poles and cuffs. The milliners have now decided that one shall not even see under the new hat. It will be as high as its predecessors, but the improvement, will be that it will come down lower on both sides. To witness municipal guards, with swashbuckling ferocity, grazing off this new hat will be a terrible sight. -London Daily News Fashion Notes... ity of error is eliminated in a new implement which allows easily patented and which is handled the accompany ink.

THE PULPIT. AN ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. C. B. ETSLER. Theme: Future of the Church. Brooklyn, N. Y.—The Rev. Clarence Bartlett Etsler began his pastorate Sunday morning in the Church of the Good Tidings (Fourth Universalist). He preached on "The Future of the Church of the Good Tidings." He is a strong, vigorous young man and a fine speaker. He was listened to by a large audience. He said: I would ask you to consider with me this morning something of the future which we are to work out for our church. In the first place, I believe that in our church we must be essentially one big family, that we must realize that relationship, and that as members of the family we are responsible for the welfare of our church home. We know that the home is the cornerstone of the nation, that the home is the foundation whereon are reared the superstructures of society and of the State. And we would repeat, that for this our church organization we should have as our example and pattern—the old-fashioned home. We want this our church home to be the dwelling place of our church family. We want every man, woman and child of us to look upon themselves as members of this family and inmates of this home. Then, and only then, can we have the spirit of good fellowship and brotherly kindness, without which Christian growth and progress is impossible. But before we consider the future of our family here, let us first make it known to all men that as our creed we have inscribed above our altar the Saviour's condensed statement of the substance of both law and gospel: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God-with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself." If a man can subscribe to this statement then he is a man together with whom we can plan and work, and he is a fit member for this our family. In considering the future for our church, it may perhaps be well if we but glance back upon the work of past and present. The religion of yesterday was a religion based on a conception of God as a being fearful and terrible. He was regarded as a great judge or ruler who administered law in justice, but who must be feared, and whose anger must be appeased. Universalism has given us an idea of God as the universal Father, the Father of us, the Father who so loves us and who so desires our best welfare that He chastens and disciplines us, not for His own satisfaction, but rather that the chastening may yield for us the peaceable fruit of righteousness. The old idea, too, of a physical hell as the eternal abode of unrepentant sinners has given place to the teaching of Universalism that all life, both here and hereafter is one—that it is a great school—that opportunity for repentance and salvation never ends, but that God will discipline each soul with His tireless love, until all souls know and obey Him. All these changes have been toward that broader religion known as Universalism—"that Universalism which means harmony—man at harmony with himself, man at harmony with his God, man at harmony with his God." "The Universalism which teaches also that Jesus is the great Harmonizer, that He came to reconcile man to his duty, to dealing unselfishly with his brother, to honor and obey his God." What other religious conception can point to so many changes in the old-established ideas of God and religion, and can say these are the changes; these evolutionary changes toward the light and truths that have been brought by our maintenance of the principles of our church? But people tell us: "Oh, you Universalists cannot progress, because the other denominations have ceased to preach hell fire and endless torment; they have stolen your thunder; Although their creeds recognize the old ideas, yet they now preach a theology which is practically Universalism, but under another name." What does the argument amount to? Universalism has brought about the change from the old theology of hell to the new theology of God's love, and other churches have the light and illumified their proclaiming. But we maintain that this is no reason why Universalists should cease to preach God's endless love. If others preach it, how much more should we, the original supporters of the faith, seek by our works to maintain and spread abroad the good tidings of joy and love. But for a fully successful development we must have within us, within each individual member of our family, a strong spiritual life. We must meditate upon and consider well that conception of God as our Father, our universal Father, who watches over us to lead and guide, even as did our earthly parents in our weak and helpless infancy. Then shall we be able to think of God as He truly is—reaching down His hand of love, for us in turn to reach and grasp and thus be drawn from out a life of sin into the path of right. The gospel of Universalism shows God as wholly upon the side of mankind. His interest and love for every soul is.endless. He not only strives and searches for the prodigal child here and now, but also in the hereafter. "Universalism holds that God the Father of all souls will not limit His efforts to His children by the boundary of death; once our Father, He is our Father, bound by every state of our paternal love to still abate our good." Moreover, our faith teaches that there is nothing in death itself that can irreversibly fix the character forever for bad or for ill. "There has reason apparent to human judgment, why it should be impossible for soul to repent and be saved before death and not immediately after." It has been nobly written, "God is forever moving the whole moral power of the universe toward the redemption and salvation of the entire human race." But just here let me consider for a moment one of the common misrepresentations in regard to our belief. Well, that doesn't seem to me like much of a religion where people can do just as they please and still get to Heaven without any punishment." We should be always alert to controvert and correct this mistaken idea that is often held by those unfamiliar with our church. We do believe in the absolute certainty of punishment, punishment having for its object the final recovery of all men. We believe in the certainty of guilty men not to be Himself avenged, but rather to convince men of the desirability of abandoning a life of sinfulness and of living according to the precepts of God's word and law. Our Universalist conception of religion has been likened to the religious side of democracy. The old theory taught that religion and the church was a monarchy, a despotism, even as in Russia to-day, that God was Czar, the absolute monarch, the tyrant of the skies and that for poor humanity, the subjects of the kingdom, there were the eternal dungeons into which unrepentant man should be thrust at death. But with our conception of God and men and things comes that understanding of man upon which all popular governments are based—namely, that man is not totally depraved and hence only a fit subject for a despotism, but rather that he has within him the inherent seed of good and that this essential foundation of right in humanity is the foundation of democracy of state aid for the democracy of religion. We live within the jurisdiction of a democratic form of government in the state, what then more fitting than that we should live within the jurisdiction of a democratic form of religion in the church? Our interpretation of the universe of life lies in the belief that good shall finally triumph over all evil in every soul and in all the realms of creation. We seek to show the value of works and we must prove by the works of good deeds that our conception of the Father is true and that God in us is love. Then can we ask with reason: If good deeds are not a passport to a better land—what is? Let us prove that God loves the world-by ourselves abounding in good will for our neighbor. We must make our church the place of our worship, we must make it a real sorrow and sorrowing and cheerless humanity. We must realize that through the church is the most effective work accomplished for the betterment of society and that we can become partners in the good work by contributing to the support of our church—contributing not only of our substance—but contributing strength of character and right living. There is no man but has some good within him. Then contribute this, whatever of truth and righteousness is within you. Come, bring it to the church and thus increase the strength and power of God's family and ours. Let us show by our living that we are of the family of Universalists, that we do believe in the power of God and righteousness. Christ went about teaching a gospel of love to God and fellowman and withal a practical righteousness among men. The very core and centre of His teaching was in the blessedness of the Fatherly love of God and living as His obedient and trustful children. The kingdom of Heaven is to be a spiritual kingdom even within the hearts and lives of men if they will be persuaded and will accept a life of truth and righteousness, following in the footsteps of the Christ. Christianity, then, according to our conception, lies in that of which the Quaker poet wrote: Our friend, our brother, and our Lord, What may They service be! Nor name, nor form, nor ritual word, But simply following Thee. Thus would we as members of this family claim our divine heritage as sons and daughters of the living God and thus and only thus shall our third family come to maturity and yield the increase so much desired of God. God's Help. Nothing is small or great in God's sight; whatever He wills becomes great to us, however seemingly trifling, and if once the voice of conscience tells us that He requires anything of us, we have no right to measure its importance. On the other hand, whatever He would not have us do, however important we may think it, as is naught to us. How do you know what you may lose by neglecting this duty, which you think so trifling, or the blessing which its faithful performance may bring? Be sure that you do your very best in that which is laid upon you daily, you will not be left without sufficient help when some weightier occasion arises. Give yourself to Him, fix your eye upon Him, listen to His voice and then go on bravely and cheerfully.—Jean Nicolas Grou. Christianity and Labor It is my belief that the solvent for all our social ills is found in the words of Jesus and in the spirit He brought to this world. Christianity will help more than any other agency to solve the problem of capital and labor. It is my firm belief that in time the laborer will own the tools with which he labors and will hire from the capitalist what money he needs. The workingman, instead of working for the capitalist, will have the capitalist's money working for him. Smart Sets. Smart sets must sooner or later be in the grave, rotting in oblivion, and in the eye of the world and in the world's heart are enshrined only the few with brain and character, and by force of that brain and character do something of real importance to their day and generation. Godliness in Finance. If godliness had been enthroned in many an institution of large and high finance that has gone to the wall during the year, that institution would still be standing, commanding the confidence and patronage of the community.

Mankato, Minn., has solved the problem of finding a durable pavement at small expense and one that can be used on steep grades as readily as on a level surface. First, the driveway was narrowed to thirty feet, curbed, guttered and boulevarded. Then it was excavated to the depth of six inches and surfaced. Five inches of dry crushed limestone one and a half to two inches in diameter was put on and rolled down with a ten-ton roller. Bolling tar from the local gas works was applied until the entire surface was covered. Then a layer of broken stone an inch to an inch and a quarter in diameter, mixed with coarse gravel, was applied on the surface in the proportion of three parts of stone to one of gravel. This was first mixed dry on a platform and then thoroughly mixed with hot tar and applied on the surface two inches thick and tamped into place to conform with the surface of the street. Dry domestic cement was then applied to the surface and the street was again rolled. Then a coating of sand was applied, and the roller again used. The pavement was allowed to stand for two weeks before the street was thrown open to travel. The cost was eighty cents a lineal foot to the property owners on each side of the street, or rather would have been had the entire cost been assessed against them. The street has a practically waterproof pavement six inches thick, and it is impossible for the elements to attack the surface. The pavement has now stood two winters and shows not the slightest wear. It gives off no dust in summer, although it is not sprinkled.—Cement Age. A Twofold Object. We hope the day has come when with the intelligent use of convict labor in the only channel of usefulness that is free from the charge of being in competition with free labor, is about to give the State a good system of roads. The working on the public highways of the lazy jailbirds who have been for years accustomed to eat their heads off in the county prisons will, unless we are greatly mistaken, lessen the number of petty crimes and lower the criminal expenses of the State, while the labor of those convicts who are sent to the roads will do wonders toward the improvement of the public roads. This twofold object should be attained very shortly now that the system of road working is fairly under way. Convicts have been sent from this city and from Norfolk County to the roads elsewhere in the State, and we hope the work will be extended to this section in the near future. The Newport News Times-Herald is on the right track, when, in discussing the question of good roads, it says: "In most of the Virginia counties enough money has been expended since the war to have given Virginia a slandlid system of dirt roads. But under the slipshod system of 'working the roads' the money has been wasted, and there is little in the way of road improvement to show for it: The only sensible plan is to have the work done under a competent engineer and to build permanently as far as the money will go."—Portsmouth Star. Progress of Crusade. New Jersey is far in advance of any State in the actual work of road construction. The law there places one-tenth of the cost on the State, one-tenth on the abutting land owners, and the remainder on the county, which is an equitable distribution of the burdens of construction and maintenance. The substitution of solidly built roads for dirt roads soon effects a transformation in the region through which it passes, and even the old topography seems to vanish. Improved accessibility tells upon every farm and adds to its value. Time and money, which are always equivalent, are saved to the farmer and to all whose business it is to communicate with him. Economy is consulted as well as convenience. So far as improved laws have taken shape in this country the French idea is recognized that the State should bear, a considerable share of the cost of constructing main thoroughfares, and French rural prosperity can be traced in no small degree to the country's excellent public roads. Now that the rural inhabitant of this country is expected to bear but a comparatively small portion of the expense of good roads, his disposition toward the movement is, quite naturally, changing in its favor. With a dozen or more States already engaged in the reform, the rapid extension of well made, permanent public highways is assured.—The Epitomist. Rémarkable Finish. The deer shooting season in the Adriondaacks has closed with the unique record of not a man being mistaken and shot for one of the animals. Frequent warnings combined with some repressive legislation on this subject appear to have accomplished the desired end.—Boston Herald. The Broken Bottle Symbol. The breaking of a bottle over the bow of a vessel at launching seems to be taken by many people as having a convivial, a sort of here-hooking-at-your significance, but nothing of the kind is meant, neither has it any association with Christian baptism, for the name of a man of war is given months before the launching. The real thing typified is sacrifice. Building a town or setting a ship afloat was a solemn matter away back in the dim past and such an act was not to be undertaken without devoting a life to propitiate the gods. Our refined and humane civilization no longer dares to offer up a prisoner or a slave on such occasions and therefore a bottle is broken to symbolize the taking of a man's life. —United Service Gazette.

One of the most important of the industries developed in recent years is the production of sugar from sugar beets. More or less desulfitory work was done on sugar beets as far back as 1867, in 1892 only six factories were in operation in this country, the combined output of which was a little over 27,000,000 pounds of sugar. According to the National Magazine, there are now no less than sixty-four factories in operation, with a combined output of approximately 500,000 short tons of sugar manufactured from beets, with a factory value of $45,000,000. One most important factor has been the production of a high grade sugar beet seed. For many years American growers have been dependent almost exclusively on foreign countries for our sugar beet seed, but for threep or four years past the Department of Agriculture has been encouraging the successful growth of sugar beet seed in this country. It has shown that the seed can be greatly improved by breeding, tests of beets from American grown seed running as high as 17, 18 and sometimes 20 per cent. sugar. The Department is also continuing investigations to determine the best localities for sugar beet production. When we remember that less than one-fifth of the sugar consumed in this country is produced in the States it is plain that there is abundant opportunity for development; and it is certain that wherever a sugar factory is located labor is immediately in demand at higher wages and the value of farmlands increased from 25 to 50 per cent.

After Infirmarytory Rheumatism, Hair Came Out, Skin Peeled, and Bed Sores Developed — Only Cuticura Proved Successful. "About-four years ago I had a very severe attack of infirmarytory Rheumatism. My skin peeled, and the high fever played havoc with my hair, which came out in bunches. I also had three large bed sores on my back. I did not gain very rapidly, and my appetite was very poor. I tried many 'sure cures' but they were of little help, and until I tried Cuticura Resolvent I had had no real relief. Then my complexion cleared and soon I felt better. The bed sores went very soon after a few applications of Cuticura Ointment, and when I used Cuticura Soap and Ointment for my hair, it began to regain its former glossy appearance. Mrs. Lavina J.
