PATTERSON SWORN IN As Governor of Tennessee For Second Term. ADDRESS CAUSED SENSATION He Bitterly Resented Efforts to Connect Him With the Murder of Ex-Senator Carmack. Nashville,Tenn.—Malcolm R. Patterson was inaugurated for his second term as governor of this state at the capitol. In his inaugural address Governor Patterson referred as follows to the killing of Senator E. W. Carmack: "Our state is passing through the shadows; her people are divided; we save fallen into the habit of distrust, suspicion and accusation. "There is nothing proper I would not do to relieve this situation; there is nothing I have done to bring it about, unless it has been my success and the honest, open service I have tried to render in return for the confidence of the people. "But I am conscious that throughout the state men have repeated slanders, that some newspapers have circulated cruel and false charges and have even gone so far as to connect me with a tragedy which I deplored far more than many who have sought to make out of it a political asset and to use it as a motive and incentive for unwise, undemocratic and destructive legislation. "So far as the injustice of all this relates to me as an individual, or the pain it ruthlessly and mercilessly inflicts, it is of no concern to the public, but, as governor, the people of Tennessee have a right to have the office respected and my service in official capacity not impaired by false and repeated accusations. "But beyond all else they are entitled to know the truth." "If, as an official, I have been guilty of conscious delinquency, I am unworthy of public trust and the people have given me an office which I should not hold and of which I should be deprived. If, in any way, directly or remotely, I have sought to encompass the death of a fellow-man, I am deserving of every stigma that gentlemen may place upon me, of any indignity and punishment which law and society can inflict, for I am the governor of the state, clothed with the power of pardon, and the charge, therefore, involves the basest and blackest turpitude. "If charges are not preferred, or if they are, and fail, I believe I am entitled to ask, for the peace and honor of the state and in the name of decency, that this reckloss defamation shall cease.

The surplus of the quarter was $5,142,451, a decrease of $9,572 as compared with the quarter ending September 30, 1908, and a decrease of $4,216,332 as compared with the last quarter of 1907. The net earnings for the quarter were $21,011,663, a decrease of $298,754. Senate Refuses to Pass Bill to Make State "Dry." Austin, Texas.-The senate committee killed by a vote of 6 to 1 the senate bill providing for the establishment of statutory prohibition in Texas. This effectually terminates that feature of the prohibition fight in the Texas legislature, but still leaves the state-wide prohibition submission bill pending, which is now being vigorously debated in the senate, and the bill providing that no liquor shall be sold within ten miles of any school house, which is pending in the house. Cleveland's 1909 Output Expected to Be Worth Twenty-one Millions. Cleveland, Ohio.—In marked contrast with the business depression which prevailed a year ago, the automobile factories in this city are now being operated to their full capacity. In some instances plants are being worked overtime. At the present rate of output it is estimated that fully 21,500,000 worth of automobiles will be turned out by Cleveland manufacturers during the present year. More than 50,000 men are now employed in the automobile factories here. Washington, D. C.—A fat 'possum evidently just from the persimmon groves of Georgia, was captured in the avenue near the white house by two police officers. VOL. XXIV. U. S. STEEL EARNINGS. NO PROHIBITION FOR TEXAS. - AUTOMOBILE FACTORIES BUSY. 'POSSUM AT WHITE HOUSE Washington Police Capture Animal On President's Teenis Court. The 'possum was seen in the street and the officers gave chase. When caught, Mr. 'Possum was trying to crawl under President Roosevelt's tennis court. The officers took the 'possum home and say they will keep him until the arrival of Judge Taft when it will be presented to the president-elect. The way in which the 'possum came to be in the street is a mystery. The WANT GEORGIA TRADE Jacksonville, Fla., People Are Urging the Naval Stores Bill. Washington, D. C.—The bill to provide for federal inspection of naval stores was urged for adoption by a delegation from Jacksonville, which appeared before a subcommittee of the interstate commerce commission of the house. The Floridians have been in Washington for some time working zealously for the passage of this measure. The Savannah delegation, which was here to appear at the hearing before the senate committee have gone, but the supporters of the bill remained on the scene, and have continued the fight vigorously. A bill similar to the bill introduced by Senator Tallafero in the senate was introduced in the house by Mr. Sparkman. Its passage is being urged at both ends of the capitol. While on the surface it provides for federal inspection, its real purpose is to divert from Savannah to Jacksonville the tremendous naval stores products now handled through the Georgia port. The greatest interest is being shown in this bill throughout the pine belt. The naval stores industry amounts to nearly $30,000,000 a year. LET JAPANESE ALONE Says Governor of California in Special Message to Legislature. Sacramento, Cal.—With a warning against any anti-Japanese legislation, under the recommendation that the labor commissioner be given money to take a census of the Japanese in the state, Governor James N. Gillette sent a special message to the legislature. After stating that the bills under consideration are causing a serious agitation, both here and in Japan, and have been the subject of an address to the national authorities by the Japanese government, the governor reviews the negotiations between the two powers to stop immigration. The governor says that the question of immigration is one for the federal government alone to settle. NO RIGHT TO ASK BOOSEVEL T. For Information He Got From the Steel Trust. Washington, D. C.-That the senate has no right to call upon President Roosevelt for information which he may have obtained from the United States Steel Corporation, when he countenanced that concern's absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, is the opinion of the special committee on judicially appointed to investigate the merger. The situation is proving decidedly embarrassing to the judicially committee, but, regardless of this fact, it has been decided to proceed with the inquiry and report to the senate whether the president had authority to permit the merger. LEPER GETS INJUNCTION. Augusta Woman Will Remain in Her Own House. Augusta, Ga.—Chaing at the delay in building a house of detention for Mrs. Kirke, the Alken leper, fearful citizens were about to spring a plan to demand her instant removal from the homo which she has occupied for a number of years, that is in the heart of the town. Friends of the unfortunate woman heard of the movement, however, and secured an injunction against whatever proceeding might have been contemplated, and she will be allowed to remain unmolested where she is until other accommodations are provided. Button Found In Man's Heart. Denver, Col.—An autopsy on the body of Fred Pompletz, who was found dead under circumstances indicating foul play last week, revealed a scientific curiosity. An ordinary black button was found lodged in the right auricle of his heart. The button was bent and warped and the doctors say that it had been in the man's heart a long time. How it got there is a mystery that is puzzling the doctors of Denver. Man's Len In Whidle's Stomach. Messina, Italy—An enormous whale has been captured on the coast of tania, and in its stomach was found the leg of a man with a shoe on the foot. The shoe indicated, that it had been worn by an Italian sailor, who probably was a victim of the great tidal wave following the earthquake of December 28. New South Carolina Senator. Columbia, S. C.-E. D. Smith, who received the nomination for United States senator in the democratic primary last summer, to succeed Senator Frank D. Gary, whose term expires March 4 next, was unanimously elected senator by the general assembly in joint session. Senator Smith's term is for six years. Labor Leaders Must Pay Costs. Washington, D. C.-Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison have been served with a peremptory order by Justice Wright to pay the costs incurred in the proceedings which resulted in the sentence for contempt. The costs aggregate $1,500. May Be Japanese Spies. Guayaquil, Ecuador.—Three Japanese were brought in here guarded by a file of soldiers, and lodged in jail.

THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1909. APPALACHIAN RESERVE Victory is Won By the Advocates of Measure. FAVORABLE REPORT IS MADE On Weeks Bill Ordered By the House Committee—The Passage of the Bill is Assured. Washington, D. C.—Advocates of forest reserves in the White mountains of New England, and the Appalachian mountains of the southern states, consider that they won a significant victory, when the house committee on agriculture, by the close vote of 9 to 8, agreed to make a favorable report to the house on the Weeks bill, having the creation of these reserves in view. While the Weeks bill is entitled "For the appointment of a commission for the acquisition of lands for the purpose of conserving the navigability of navigable rivers," and "For the protection of water sheds," without mentioning specifically either the White mountains or the Appalachians, it was designed for the immediate relief of conditions said to exist in sections included in the proposed reserves. The bill was drafted by Representatives Weeks of Massachusetts; Currier of New Hampshire and Lever of South Carolina, and is agreeable to nearly all the advocates of the reserves. The "bill authorizes the secretary of agriculture for the protection of water sheds of navigable streams to administer and protect, for a number of years, private forest lands upon any watershed, "whereon lands may be permanently reserved, held or administered as national forest lands." It is provided that no timber shall be cut or removed from these lands except under regulations approved by the secretary. Another provision is that all monies received from public lands by the United States shall be set aside for the acquirement of lands located on watersheds, and that a commission, to be known as the national forest reservation commission, shall be appolated to consider and pass upon lands recommended by the secretary of agriculture for purchase "for the regulation of flow of navigable streams." This commission would consist of the secretary of the interior, secretary of war and secretary of agriculture, one senator and one member of the house. Still another provision is that 25 per cent of the money received from each of the national forests created under this act shall be paid to the state in which the forest is located, for the benefit of the public schools and public roads. NEW MAINE AT HAVANA. Just' Eleven Years Ago Old Maine Reached That City. Havana, Cuba.—On the eleventh anniversary of the arrival of the old battleship Maine on her ill-fated mission to Cuban waters, the new Maine, with the still more modern Mississippi following in her wake, sailed into Havana harbor to be present at the inauguration of General Jose Miguel Gomez and the new Cuban government. This is the first visit of the namesake of the wrecked warship, and the two American battleships are moored to anchorage buoys within a few hundred yards of the tangled mass of steel and the old fighting top, the visible remnants of the vessel destroyed February 15, 1898. The new Maine arrived at 11 a. m., precisely the hour at which the old Maine steamed into the harbor on January 25, 1898. The old Maine saluted the Spanish flag over Moiro Castle. Today the new Maine saluted the Cuban pennant flying from the historic fortress. PRESERVATLON OF THE HOME Conference on Care of Dependent Children at White House. Washington, D. C.—The importance of the preservation of the home intact was the central theme around which the discussion revolved at the conferences on the care of dependent children, which formally was opened by President Roosevelt at the white house. The subject under consideration was "Should the breaking the home be permitted, for reasons of poverty, or only for reasons of inefficiency or immorality?" It was the unanimous opinion of an array of notable charity workers and others who took part in the discussion that the child can best be reared under the influence of the home, and that it should be removed from the family circle only when proper supervision at home has become impossible. It was also the consensus of opinion that where poverty exists in the home, state aid should be given. TWENTY-FOUR TREATIES. Record of Mr. Root During Term as Secretary of State, Washington, D. C. With the signing of an arbitration treaty with Brazil, Secretary Root has concluded such conventions with twenty-four countries of the world. The list embraces all the principal nations except Germany and Russia, who are not favorably disposed to the form followed in the treaties with the other countries. The treaties signed are the result of the recommendations of the first Hague conference. The questions to be arbitrated in each case are first to be submitted to the senate for ratification. FEDERAL BUREAU FOR CHILDREN. To Be Urged on Congress By President Roosevelt in Special Message Washington, D. C.—I" shall send a special message to congress," said President Roosevelt, at subscription, dinner in connection with the conference for dependent children, "recommending the establishment of a federal children's bureau, and a law for the District of Columbia, and the federal territories, which shall apply to the principles and methods you advocate in practical fashion." "I will send the message to congress," he repeated, "and then you do your part to get it made into a law. I will do all that in me lies, to see that your great work, as regards the federal capital and federal government, bears fruit." The president asserted that in institutions of all sorts there should be "the utmost possible care to have no employee who is not of the best possible character, in any position which will bring that employee in contact, in any way, with the children of the institution. It is an evil thing," he added, "to have a bad public servant in any capacity." NEWSY PARAGRAPHS. Peter Wambold shot himself dead in a telephone booth in a Brooklyn drug store after calling up his wife and instructing her to listen for the shot. "I am going to kill myself, as I can't stand things any longer," he said over the telephone. The carth shocks at Monteleone, Italy, average a dozen daily and apparently they are increasing in number and intensity. The refugees are in a constant state of alarm and the vast majority of them have decided to emigrate to America as soon as they can secure transportation. Luis T. Navarro, a student in the national college of mines in the City of Mexico, Mexico, has applied to the Mexican government for a patent on an instrument which he claims will foretell earthquake shocks with the same certainty that a barometer gives warning of a coming storm. The young inventor refuses to go into details regarding his invention, but declares that it will tell with unerring accuracy, at least six hours previously, of a pending shock in a given region. Chief O'Brien of the Chicago city detective bureau, has devised a new scheme for curing automobilists of the scorching habit. He proposes to establish a regues gallery for reckless chaufeurs. "Reckless driving in Chicago is going to stop," says the captain. "I intend to start a gallery of these fellows who persistently violate the law. I shall keep a list of their names together with an account of the accidents for which they have been responsible. I'll use it not only to get heavier sentences for them when they are brought into court, but to keep them out of jobs. I figure that no decent citizen wants to hire a chauffeur who has killed or maimed several persons." Negotiations for sale of a majority interest in the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway company, to Edwin Hawley and associates, have been concluded in New York city, Kuhn, Loeb & Co. sold to the new interests to two hundred and forty shares of common stock, which they had purchased from the Pennsylvania Railroad company over two years ago, and it is understood that other large amounts of stocks are included in the deal. The Chesapeake and Ohio owns and operates through lease about 1,850 miles of road. Its chief points of contact are from Newport News, Va., and Washington, D. C., to Cincinnati and Louisville, with numerous branch lines. A young man who for four months preached from the pulpit of the Congregational church in Greenwood, a suburb of St. Louis, Mo., was an imposter, using the name of a Chicago clergyman. The "clergyman" called himself "Rev. Ivan M. Gray" and just before leaving Greenwood, he paid several accounts with bank checks, drawn for greater amounts than the bills called for. In this way he received about $100 in change. The checks were returned as worthless by a suburban bank. Sidney C. Love of New York and Chicago, having unassured during a brief but brilliant career a fortune said to be closer to two million than one, and having married a Chicago society girl, pronounced by Sir Philip Burne-Jones, the artist, to be the most beautiful in the world, has quietly retired from business. Mr. Love had contemplated the move for some months, but so quietly were the details worked out that it was done in four hours by the strenuous use of direct telegraph wires, that the announcement that Sidney C. Love & Co. had abandoned a business formerly rated at $25,000,000 a year, startled the Chicago and New York financial districts. Governor Ansel of South Carolina will not veto a state-wide prohibition bill, which appears certain to pass in the present legislature, although the prohibitionists are not strong enough to pass it over his veto. He was elected on a local option platform, but he would not say positively what he would do. It is understood the prohibitionists have been led to feel sure he will not oppose them. In an opinion handed down at Jackson, Mississippi, the supreme court of that state sustained the validity of the anti-trust statutes, which had been a subject of attack in the Hinds county chancery court, and holds that the alleged cotton oil mill trust has been guilty of violating these statutes. DEFINITE MILITIA POLICY Oliver Acts on Suggestion By National Board. TO INCREASE ITS EFFICIENCY Recommendations Made By the National Militia Board Are Designed to Help Soldiers. Washington, D. C.—As the representative of the war department, Assistant Secretary Oliver has acted upon a number of recommendations made by the national militia board, designed to increase the efficiency of the organized militia. The recommendation for detail of the non-comissioned officers of the army for duty with the organized militia was approved, conditioned upon the settlement of the question of the right to pay the expense for quarters, heat, light, medical attendance and traveling, expenses out of the federal appropriations for the militia. Approval was give into the recommendations for a second series of inspections, with the view to reporting on the organization, armament and discipline (instruction) of the organized militia; for a system of correspondence schools for the militia; and the issue of horses for militia field artillery, to be charged against federal appropriations. Mr. Oliver disapproved recommendations for the allowance of pay and traveling expenses of officers of the militia engaged in giving instruction in rifle practice, or on continuous duty at rifle ranges, on the ground that such payments are not authorized by law. Adoption of cap and collar insignia to identify the wearer as a member of the first line of the national forces, etc., was approved, with the proviso, however that the time is not yet ripe for the adoption of such insignia. The recommendation for an allowance for ammunition cases, bandoleers and clips is still under consideration. In its report the national militia board said it regarded as of very great importance the question of the adoption of a definite military policy for the United States, with particular reference to a complete co-ordination of effort between the regular army and the organized militia, and a combined organization of the two branches of the first line of defense. General Oliver said that this matter is already under consideration by the general staff. The militia board expressed its approval of the bill pending in congress, providing for an addition of 612 officers to the regular army, and said that the organized militia will make every effort to secure its passage. 12.667.231 BALES GINNED. Census Bureau Report on the Cotton Crop issued, Washington, D. C.—There were 12,667,231 running bales of cotton ginned from the growth of 1908 to January 16 last, against 10,339,551 bales a year ago, according to the census bureau report.

Distribution of sea island cotton for 1908 by states is: Florida, 34,007; Georgia, 43,244; South Carolina, 12,205. The corrected statistics of the quantity of cotton rinned this season to January 1. are 12,465,298 bales. ANERICAN ROUGHLY TREATED. Naval Officers in Conflict with the French Police Officers. Marseilles, France.—A party of American officers came into conflict with the police officers and one of the Americans was taken to the police station, where, it is alleged, after a violent scene, the officer was subjected to violent treatment. Rear Admiral Walnwright has protested to the authorities against the action of the police, and the case will be investigated. AN UNUSUAL WEDDING. Girl Becomes a Bride by the Corpse of Her Father. New York City.—Married in the same room where lay her father's body in a coffin, Miss Daisy Helme, of Mount Vernon, N. Y., is now the bride of Francis M. Oliver of London, England. The bride's father, John C. rielem, an accountant, was asphyxiated at his home accidentally, according to the coroner's verdict, but arrangement for the wedding were not halted. The same minister was in charge of both the funeral service and the wedding ceremony, and relatives who gathered for the funeral were present at the sorrowful wedding. LATE NEWS NOTES. The Canadian Pacific railway has determined to electrify its system through the mountains of the west. Engineers have reported that a scheme to utilize the water power along the line to create electric energy for this purpose is perfectly feasible and steps will immediately be begun to put the plan into operation. Honorable Newton C. Blanchard, formerly governor of Louisiana, was married in Neepawa, Manitoba, the bride being Charlotte G. Tracy, well known in society circles at Baton Rouge, La. Frank H. Hitchcock, postmaster general in President-elect Taft's cabinet, had a hard fight with a wounded buck deer while hunting in South Carolina, but finally killed his quarry, and is consequently proud of his trophy. Mr. Hitchcock rushed into a thicket after the wounded animal and got into such close quarters that his clothing was almost all torn off. Fire in the lumber plant at Rowesville, Orangeburg county, South Carolina, destroyed nearly four million feet of lumber. The plant was owned by A. M. & I. H. Blake and was one of the largest lumber mills in this section of the state. The loss is estimated at one hundred thousand dollars. The mill is supposed to have been set on fire. Washington. Gold medals with suitable emblems are to be awarded to Orville and Wilbur Wright by congress in recognition and appreciation of their great services in the advancement of aerial navigation and for their ability, courage and success in navigation in the air. Secretary Root has informed the house committee on foreign affairs that the report of an insult to the American flag in Prague, Bohemia, was without foundation. It appears that an American and a British flag were hanging over a photographer's shop, and that, during a riotous procession, the British flag, not the American flag, was torn down. Although no final decisions have been made as yet with regard to impending diplomatic changes, it is now believed certain that Baron Rosen, the Russian ambassador to the United States, will be transferred to Rome in the general shake up, and that M. George Bakhmetiief, former minister to Japan, will be appointed to the ambassadorship at Washington. Christian Rudowitz, whose extradition on charges of murder, arson and other crimes was demanded by the Russian government, and involving counter contentions that the offenses were in furtherance of a political movement, will not be extradited; This decision was announced by Secretary of State Root. Protests are coming to Washington from all parts of the country against the placing of the national memorial to Lincoln in front of the new union station, as provided in the McCall bill, instead of at the west end of the mall, at the east end of which is the capitol, while the Washington monument is in the center. This was the plan approved by the jfirk commission. When the present term of Secretary of the Interior James Rudolph Garfield expires he is slated for the Italian ambassadorship, according to the latest report. Ambassador Griscom has tendered his resignation to the president and it is reported that Mr. Roosevelt will make no nomination of a successor, but will leave the place for Mr. Taft to fill when the latter comes into office on March 4. Several service medals in a glass case in the war department were stolen by some one who gained entrance to the building. The medals are invaluable, because they can not be reproduced. They were given to war heroes and have been on exhibition for many years. In the agricultural appropriation bill, reported to the house, there is an increase of $1,208,520 over the amount given the department for its work during the present year, although the amount reported, $12,800,926 is less by $1,739,700 than was asked for by secretary of agriculture. That the duke of the Abruzzi is the only man who has succeeded inenching the top of Mount St. Ellas, Alaska, was brought out in the consideration by the house committee on foreign affairs of the appropriation asked for marking the Alaska boundary. This mountain is one of the peaks which is crossed by the boundary line, and is an evidence of the difficulties attending the work of marking the boundary between Alaska and Canada. Twenty-five thousand dollars additional has been asked by the state department for this work in addition to the regular appropriation of $75,000. The New Foundland fisheries dispute, involving questions affecting the rights of American fishermen in the waters of British North America, was the subject of an important conference between Secretary Root, Ambassador Bryce, Minister of Justice Kent of New Foundland, and Minister of Justice Ayleworth of the Canadian government. The questions at issue are to be submitted to The Hague for arbitration as soon as the conferences reach an agreement. Russia has set aside more than $1,000,000 for aeronautic work, according to information received at the war department, which shows that European countries are losing no time in developing the dirigible balloon as a war auxiliary. 3 HOME OFFICE. : . > & iB Weer BROAD STREET, eI SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. fen Phone 1192.

Alfalfa What grows in loam and clay and sand, What hits the mortgage off the land, What crop is, cut six times a year, And no foul weeds in it appear- There were three of us—two South American Indians and myself—sitting over our camp-fire one night, in the mountains of Eastern Venezuela, overlooking the Gulf of Paria. The Indians were hunting for orchids, and I for snakes, but each of us, in his pursuit, had had encounters with various beasts, birds and reptiles. Jaguars, monkeys, electric eels; alligators, boa constrictors and anacondas we talked of. "I've had many marvelous escapes from snakes," said Saturnino—"poisonous ones, I mean. Boa constrictors and anacondas I don't much mind, unless they are over fifteen feet long; but the snake I dread the most, and by some ill luck encounter often is, 'the sleeper.'" "The sleeper," said I. "Is he about six feet long, a yellow fellow with a big head, a great biter, aloft in the branches colled up and sleeping all day?" It was the snake known to scientists as Xiphosoma hurlanum that I had in mind. He is a true boa with the anal hooks—concerning which I had made some important scientific observations during my residence in Trinidad in 1890. These snakes are tree-snakes; they are rarely found on the ground. They go about hunting by night, and feed largely on tree-rats and birds. They are great biters, much dreaded by the people, but really quite innocent of venom. "Yes, yes," said he, "that's the very one. Many a fine root of orchids I've had to lose on account of those same sleepers. I dread them more than I do the rattlesnake, or even the bushmaster himself." "O Saturnino," said I, "you needn't fear the sleeper! He's not venomous. The bite of a rat or a mouse would be much more dangerous." "Not venomous!" cried both he and Cipriano together; and they looked at each other and then at me, smiling broadly at my ignorance. Then both of them joined in an earnest endeavor to set me right. "Don't be unreasonable, senor! Indians, white men and negroes all say that the sleeper is deadly. Why, there was Sebastiano, our uncle—he was bitten, and would have died if Mr. Solis hadn't had a big jar of Caru-pano rum in the house. "They made our uncle drink rum until he 'couldn't hold any more; and it was four days before he recovered. It cured him completely, and he never swelled a bit, either." "Well, then, my dear friends," said I, "they came very near to killing your poor uncle—poisoning him with rum. The very fact that the bitten part didn't swell was enough to show that the snake was not venomous at all; because if he were venomous, all the rum in the world would not have prevented the swelling. Nor would it ever cure any man of the bite of any 'dangerous snake, if he had once got a fatal injection of the venom." "But, senor, you don't mean to stand against the opinion of the whole world?" "Why, certainly I do," said I. "I stand out against the whole world, when I know for sure the whole world is wrong. Now," I added, "you two boys have over a hundred dollars' worth of orchids already collected and stored away in that cave up the mountain. You can spare the whole day to morrow to go with me. "We'll go down by the river. We'll find a 'sleeper,' and I'll let him bite me; and afterward I'll catch hold of him and make him bite the dog; and if neither I nor, the dog suffer anything whatsoever from the bite—without applying any remedy at all—will you believe me that the sleeper is harmless?" "Yes," said they together, "we will. But we don't wish you to take such a risk." "Risk!" said I, laughing. "There's no risk at all." They shrugged their shoulders and sat gazing into the fire in silence. They both looked sad and worried—blumhung, themselves. I thought, for having unintentionally pushed me on to make a foolhardy venture. The next morning at an early hour we set out for the river. The way those two Indians pleaded with me not to let the sleeper bite me was most pathetic, and this great fear of theirs for my sake only made me the more determined to be bitten for their sakes. I confess I don't hanker after a bit from any creature, but I owed a debt of gratitude to these two brothers, who had carefully tended me when I was ill with ague in the mountains; and it was too bad that they should oftentimes lose valuable orchids because one of those harmless snakes lay coiled in the near-by branches. We soon came to the river, and as we had no canoe, we had to make our way along the bank, which was no easy matter, as there was such a thick growth of vines in some places that for many yards we never touched ground at all. We walked and crept over the matted tangle. Any moment we might have stum- What makes the swine so healthy feel, And never raise a hungry squeak.

All these reptiles.frequent the river bank. The two Indians knew the danger along the river bank as well as I did, so we all kept silence and went on slowly, with eyes and ears alert for every sound or motion. We must have gone on thus for fully two hours without seeing any snakes. Then we came to a long stretch of open ground. About a hundred yards down-stream there were tall bamboos waving their feathery tops on the hither as well as on the farther bank. Tired with scrambling through the thicket, we sat down in the shade of those bamboos to rest. The river tumbled noisily by us. it was in flood; and on its yellow water driftwood and floating rubbish went bounding swiftly seaward. And while we sat watching the tossing waters, a great alligator came floating round the bend. We sat quite still while he passed; and he probably never saw us, for he lay there, lazily on the billowy surface, and allowed himself to be carried along as if he were enjoying a toboggan ride. If he had seen us he would doubtless have gone under. "This ought to be a good place to come upon a sleeper," said Clpriano, as he paused and looked about him. "Yes," I replied. "I've often seen them in bamboos—and just look! There's one coiled in the top of that leafy cane stretching out over midstream right opposite us, and neither of you ever saw it." "Yes, I saw it," said Saturnino, "but I wouldn't tell you, because I want you to have nothing to do with it." "Well," said I; fearing that they might refuse me their assistance in catching the snake, because of their anxiety for my safety, "I want to get that snake, anyway, because he looks different from those I have caught before." "Why, hombre," said Cliprano, "how are you going to get him? Don't you see that his bamboo reaches but from the farther side, so that he hangs just over midstream? "Tis a long pole-that would reach out to where he is. You can't get at him. And unless you can make the snake come over to you, I don't see how you are going to get him." "Aha!" said I. "You've just reminded me how to do it. I'll make that snake come right over here to me. But both of you will have to help me." "Senor, I'll help you on one condition, and that is if you promise to catch him without letting him bite you." "All right!" said I. "I promise! Now the river was fully sixty feet across, and as the bamboo, in the tip-end branches of which the snake was coiled, hung out over the water to about midstream, that would make the distance between us and the snake about thirty feet. The plan which I was now about to try I had used before on the Caroni River, in the Island of Trinidad, and I felt sure of success if I could depend on the steadiness of nerve and the strict obedience of my two red-skinned companions. "Look here!" said I. "I will do what I've said if you will obey me exactly in what I'll tell you to do. There will be no danger whatever to either of you, or to me, either. I'll not allow the snake to get at any time nearer to you than fifteen feet." "Yes, yes!" said I. "We'll do carefully and exactly all you tell us." "First of all," said I. "we'll cut two bamboo poles, long, but light and easy to handle." So, in the bamboo clump behind us, I picked out the poles I needed. Ciprano cut one and I the other. When trimmed of leaves and branches each pole was somewhat over thirty feet long and fairly easy to handle, although, being green, they were not by any means as light as fishing rods. Sharpening the butt of one of these, I stuck it firmly in the bank near the edge of the water, and then leaned it over till its very tip was just above the snake and among the tops of the leaves and branches in which he lay. From the snake to the water was about ten feet. Calling the Indians over to me, I got them both to lay hold of the leaning bamboo, and told them to hold it exactly in the same position. Taking up my own pule, I carefully advanced its tapering top toward the snake. Very gently indeed I advanced it; and I held it more steady and advanced it more gently as I slowly pushed it in among the branches. With the slightest movement of my wrist I made its top give the snake just the faintest little poke. He woke up at once and shot out his head to see what was the matter. I held my bamboo perfectly, still where it was—almost touching him. When, after a few seconds, I let it touch him again, he shot out his head What makes the poultry good as gold, When eggs are at a big price sold, What makes the happy colts all play, While mothers graze throughout the day! Alfalfa. What is the crop that always pays, And will mature in forty days, Resisting drought, the frost, the heat, Whose roots reach down one hundred feet? Alfalfa. —R. E. Smith, in Farm and Ranch. somewhat farther, as much as to say, "Yes, something did certainly touch me" A few seconds more elapsed, and I gave him another little poke; whereupon he seemed to say to himself, "Dear me, now this is really too much. This place isn't comfortable any more. I'll move." So he stretched up his head and neck to climb higher. He found only leaves and twigs, too thin and yielding to climb on; but among them he found the strong top of the Indian's pole. "Akai! This is convenient," thought he, and he reached his chin over it. Just then I touched the colled part of him again, and he drew himself farther up on the pole, for he had nothing else to climb up on. A little touch on his tail made him draw himself yet farther up on it; and soon he lay with his entire body stretched along it. Again I-touched his tail, and he began to advance along it, evidently desirous of getting away from whatever was troubling him. He moved very, very slowly. He was coming down the pole toward the motionless Indians, whose deathlike immobility prevented him from recognizing them for living beings. From time to time he would seem to hesitate, but a very, very light touch on the tail kept him coming. Soon he was half-way. "Keep just as you are now," said I to the Indians. "I am going to take the pole from you." So I gently laid down my own pole, and took hold of theirs. "Now," said I, "both of you move off very slowly up-stream for a few steps. And you, Ciprano, take up my pole and gently touch his tail with it whenever I tell you." Now the snake, as soon as ever he noticed our movements on the bank, had halted in his approach, and lay perfectly still. He saw the two Indians moving slowly away up the river bank, and he watched them. They drew his attention away from me. "Touch him on the tail, Cipriano." So Cipriano touched him on the tail, and he came on steadily, while I slowly got the pole between my legs, and with my left hand and knees hold it steady, while in the same manner I advanced my right hand up the pole and laid it, resting on it, back down and palm up, with the fingers extending to one side and the thumb to the other, as if they were broken-off branch stumps. To the snake they must have appeared so, for he came on without suspicion. Just as he was a few inches from my hand, I said, "Touch his tail, Cipriano," and the slow-moving sleeper at once ran his head forward between the outstretched fingers and thumb. My hand closed on his throat like the jaws of a trap. He was my snake. But he meant to fight for his liberty. In an instant he was colled round my arm, drawing his colls tighter and tighter. "Magic! Magic!"cried the Indians. "That's a magic bamboo." "Oh, yes," answered they. "He's a real sleeper." "Look here, Saturnino!" said I. "I've kept my promise. I've caught, the snake without letting him bite me. But now I am free, and I'll let him bite me for your sake, as I said I would to prove to you that what I told you is true." So I let the sleeper nip me twice on the left arm. Little blood-drops appeared on the skin, and the Indians were horrified. They watched me narrowly for some time after, thinking that they would begin to see me suffering some evil effects. But that night, after supper and much talk, Saturnino said: "Senor, I am going to prove your words on myself." So he went to the bag, got out the snake by the throat, and made it bite his left arm exactly as I had done. For a few moments he looked quite grave. Putting the snake back in its bag, he came over and sat down again by the fire. "I thank you from my heart, senor," said he. "You have given me knowledge that has taken away my fear. The sleeper is never terrible to me any more. For the future I will take the orchids if a hundred sleepers guard them."—Youth's Companion.

Past Masters In the Science of Navigaiton Required For the Labor of Hescus and Recovery. When a vessel goes ashore within a few hours' reach of some large port a wrecking company dispatches powerful tugs fitted with all necessary appliances, and manned by well-trained crews, to save the ship; but when the wreck takes place upon some far off shore the task of salvage is intrusted to the hands of an expert wrecker. These wreckers are chosen from among past masters in the science of navigation. They must not only know how to sail a ship, but everything that can be learned about her construction. In return for very high salaries they hold themselves in readiness to start at a moment's notice for any storm-battered corner of the earth, where they have a free hand to take such measures as their judgment may dictate. Upon the receipt of a cable at New York or London that a mail steamer has gone ashore, say on the coast of Ecuador, one of these experts is dispatched from the nearest available point. Having cabled to the nearest port, which in the instance given would be Panama, to secure a tug and divers, the wrecker follows the quickest route with a bag containing a few changes of clothes and charts of the locality as his sole impediment. Having arrived at the port which he has selected as his depot he procures such machinery as he requires, and choosing from the men along shore a few likely assistants, he proceeds, sometimes in a small tug along rocky shores, or overland across hazardous mountain trails, to the stranded vessel's assistance. But it is when he reaches the scene of his main work that his real difficulties begin. The crew of the ship, discouraged, perhaps despairing, have to be cheered up. The wrecker is likely to find that the appliances he has brought with hfm are inadequate to the work in hand, and while straining every effort to improvise cofferdams, derricks, pumps, and so forth, he must work against time, as the ship lies in an exposed condition and seasonable gales are due from hour to hour. At a critical moment the engines may break down, the people of the country may be hostile; his operations may be interfered with by local officials doubtful of the stranger's authority. Scarcity of food, too, may become a serious matter, and divers often prove untrustworthy. When a vessel sinks below the surface it often happens that large air spaces remain between decks. A diver who is inclined to shirk his work will sometimes seek one of these air spaces, remove the faceplate from his helmet and proceed to enjoy a period of relaxation which may terminate in a comfortable nap. As he is paid according to the time he is below water, he is not inclined to hurry. It is unnecessary to guard against this practice among American divers, but it is a likely happening when easy-going natives of the tropics are employed. It occasionally happens that the wrecker turns divers himself. As an illustration of the peril of such adventures the following is an authentic anecdote: A wrecker had descended into the hold of a submerged vessel off the coast of Oregon and crawled into a tunnel to reach a rock-puncture plate. He knew that the diameter of the tunnel was wide enough to admit him, but he miscalculated the fact that his diving costume would swell his bulk to twice its normal size. So he soon found himself jammed hard and fast in the tunnel. He could neither advance nor retreat, and it was hopeless to signal for assistance, as there hapened to be only one diving outfit with the party. For nine hours he wattled, unable to stir an inch, and in fear unless his supply of air-be cut off. Suddenly he felt a tremendous jolt, and he was shaken out into the submerged engine room. Climbing up to the tug as speedily as his cramped limbs would permit, he found a gale blowing instead of the calm which had prevailed when he went below. His release from the tunnel had been due to a heavy sea striking the ship. An Irish diver relates the following experience in a mall steamer sunk near one of the West Indies. The first salvage to be rescued was the mail sacks, and he was sent down for that purpose. He found the mall room, and without bermuda difficulty dragged several of the sacks to the main hatch. These he sent up by a hoist rope. He was getting along quickly when a huge dark object appeared above the main hatch and began to interfere with the hoisting operations. - The dark object initially carried off one of the mall sacks. This roused Pat's fury to action. I differented to the fact that the dark object was a much dreaded gray nurse shark, Pat climbed the ladder for the mouth of the hatch and looked around. The shark was coming back again, apparently for another mall sack. Instead of beating a hasty retreat Pat waited, and 'as he swept past delivered a kick with his heavily weighted foot, which struck the shark about the line usually taken by the fifth rib in other creatures. "And, by the-power," said Pat, as he related the incident, "that old fish didn't eat tiny more of my mall sacks."—New York World.

WHEN NERVES ARE ASKEW The Rev. Dr. Worcester Talks of American Grind—But the Emmanuel Movement Founder is Confident That the Afflicted Can Get Relief Through Mental Suggestion—He Recalls Cases of Alcoholism Benefited by Treatments. About 500 women and ten men heard the Rev. Dr. Elwood Worcester, rector of the Emmanuel Church, Boston, founder of the "Emmanuel Movement," deliver his lecture on "The Moral Cure of Nervous Disorders" in St. George's Church, says the New York Evening Post. morbid conditions, if not too deep, rooted, may easily be removed by surgical. "Hysteria is a disease in which states of mind project themselves in to the body. One thinks he is going blind; eventually the physical symptoms of blindness may appear. Such Dr. Worcester said that before he began his discussion of functional nervous disorders, he wished to talk for a few minutes on the growth of nervousness in the United States. He continued: "When Beard wrote his memorable book upon American, nervousness about thirty-five years ago, he remarked the extraordinary progress which the disease had made in the country within a comparatively short time. 'Forty years before the publication of this book,' he said, 'nervousness was not known here.' There is no doubt that the increase to be noted at the present time has progressed by stages even more rapid than in the past. "Nervousness is a disease growing out of sedentary occupation, climate, social conditions—the causes are manifold. It is one of the marked conditions of society of to-day. There is no doubt that this disorder can be and is transmitted from parent to child, and from generation to generation. When we remember how fluid and changeable and adaptable nervousness is, we should not marvel at its wonderful powers of transmission. When we see a family afflicted with epilepsy, melanchoia, or alcoholism, we can be assured that the general cause is a bad family history. Everything that weakens our system can be transmitted." Modern Life's Strenuousness. "The nervous system of the human body is wonderfully organized. It responds to enormous demands and stimuli—yet it has its limits. Strenuous demands have an unfavorable effect upon the nerves, especially in this city. The danger and difficulty in crossing streets, the general uproar, the confusion causes an expenditure of energy, we have no idea how much, and that modern complexities are going to decrease as time goes on is inconceivable. "To return to the simple things of the past is impossible to most of us, for the better part of the year, at least, and it all comes to a question of meeting the situation inwardly. You cannot control your outer life; you can control the inner. If it is peaceful, placid, single, not double in its self-dealings, then the inroads of the outer life can be resisted. "The main object is the learning to draw upon inward powers of peacefulness and calm, and conserving this store by as frequent trips to nature as our time and means will allow. A great part of Dr. Peterson's success with epilipsy consisted of getting people back to the ground, making them till the soil, sit on the earth, walk on it. The recuperative effects of the open spaces, the woods, are inestimable; we return from them carrying with us an inward peace that nothing can take away. "It is difficult to say where nervousness as a disease begins. We are all nervous at some time or other. I suppose that when this feeling is not relieved by ordinary rest, we may be said to be diseased. Irritable weakness may be said to be characteristic of all forms of nervousness. In neurasthenia, which really means nervous weakness, we are easily fatigued, inclined to be depressed, Irritable; we tire easily, and suffer pains in the head and back. There is no question that most neurasthenic persons need rest. Dr. S. Weir Mitchell has proved by his success in nervous disorders the remarkable curative value of rest. Some Are "Born Tired." "But there are some persons who cannot be rested. They were 'born tired.' The trouble with them is that they all their lives have been confined, to a narrow circle of thought, and in this restricted mental circle they go round and round, like horses in a readmill. Their minds are sick of their thoughts—that is all. 'The thing to be done is to give them a new point of view. In most functional disturbances the mind, not the body, is sick. The cure constitutes a moral problem. "Most of us spend more nervous energy than necessary. Some men are at high tension all the time. You can see them clutching the sides of their chairs as they talk, arguing with themselves, running when they might as well be walking, and so on." "Now this is just as foolish as for a man of moderate means to start suddenly out in wild extravagance. If they could but learn the lesson of relaxation, of letting themselves down for a while, of looking at themselves in the glass and observing their drooping features, their frowning brows, their strained eyes, and so pleasing the mind as to produce a pleasing the mind, expression, what a wonderful decrease in nervous disorders we should see! "Then there are forms of weakness in, which morbid ideas and emotions of fear dominate. No one knows to what extent fears dominate the individual. Stanley Hall, in his 'Theerapieutes of Human Hall,' says that he discovered seven thousand kinds of fear in six thousand persons. Such morbid conditions, if not too deeply rooted, may easily be removed by suggestion. "Hysterla is a disease in which states of mind project themselves into the body. One thinks he is going blind; eventually the physical symptoms of blindness may appear. Such ideas can be relieved as they pass through the mind, because, as a rule, the sufferer is amenable to good suggestions. If auto-suggestion can cause so much evil in hysterical persons, we can see how seriously even those who are more normal may suffer. Mind's Influence. "Few realize the effect of our state of mind upon health, usefulness and endurance." If a board a foot wide were placed on the aisle of this church, every person here could walk along it. If the floor were painted. Place the board twenty feet above the aisle, and fear would make us dizzy, self-conscious, and would probably hurl us to the floor. "Depression is a curious form of nervousness. With no particular cause, the time comes when the inward complexion of thoughts change, when everything seems hard and painful. "This state of mind eventually will pass away, and it is curious how suddenly and inexplicably it goes. The ablest physicians do not profess to understand the mysteries of nervous depression, but it is generally regarded as having an organic cause. The world is waiting to know the origin and cure of depression. Great physicians have said it is no use for a man nervously depressed to consult them; they can do nothing in the way of relief. But I think the cases of such persons are not as hopeless as that. I have been able to mitigate their malady by suggestion." Dr. Worcester, in discussing alcoholism, said he treated ninety cases last year, and all but three of his patients were still standing firm. He would not say they were cured, but he was sure they had attained that happy state wherein the cravings for drink had passed away. In mental treatment, he said, alcoholic craving was quick to disappear and did not return. PATHOS OF VANISHING INDIAN. Betrnyed, Diseased and Glorified in Marble by White Man. We are accustomed to shed a few eminently proper crocodile tears over the fate of the Indian; but the Indian has never pitted himself. No record holds his plea for mercy to his race. The Negro continually expects quarter. The Indian has not asked quarter. He has taken his medicine like a man. No concert of Powers ever guarded his territorial rights. We called Leopold to account in the Congo. We district Africa into spheres of influence, one jealous nation watching-another; but here in America we have the work of extermination all in our own hands. The gladiators of Rome did not ask for mercy, neither has that stark fighting man who, if he has not given us a holiday, has at least given us an occasional bad quarter of an hour, says Emerson Hough, in a striking contribution to Hampton's Magazine. The fighting chance is the only one which the red man has valued. He has newer set up any red republic in imitation of the white man's way of government. Sacred and classic literature tells us of beaten generals who fell upon their swords. There have been scores of warriors of the plains, brave as Winklerried, but hopeless, who have gone against the machine guns, knowing what their end must be. Beaten at last by the upsetting of their environment, they have gone to the reservations, still aloof and still distinct. Here will be their last stand. We fight tuberculosis for the white-race with one hand, while with the other we spread it apparently deliberately among the red race. The reservation cabin is a death tractor for the Indian. The old tepees had an air space all around the bottom, an air space high as the head between the lodge lining and the lodge skin. Good air came in from below and went out with the smoke at the lodge top. Of late we are taking an tent life for consumptive patients; but very often in this our doctors do not know as much, as the Indians, and have not learned that the wall tent is the worst ventilated dwelling in the world, although the Indian dodge was the best. There is an ideal for some physician who really will stop to think in his science. I have passed some happy winter days and nights in a jacket in the Blackfoot country; but out there the cabin is supplanting the lodge; and at intervals I see some of my red friends in that country, more and more I see the finger nails of this or that one, beginning to thicken, the sign of the white plague with them. The red race cannot adjust, cannot assimilate, it is doing, none the less, all that is asked or expected of it. It's dying, when raised men who could ride, walk, shoot, hunt, eat drink, speak well as most of us. The red man could not adjust, he could only said The city of Haifa is located Baghdad, has a foreign trade of nearly $25,000,000 a year. THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year.....$1.25 Six Months.....-75 Three Months.....-50 Remittance must be made by Express or Post Office Money Order, or Registered Letter. Advertising rates given on application. Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Ga. as Second-Class mail matter. ADVERTISEMENT pays, and every successful business man voices that sentiment. The cause of the failure of many colored business enterprises can be traced to the lack of practical advertising. If the enterprises in this city would use printer's ink more, the result would be very beneficial. JUDGE TAFT has left Georgia. The Democrats tried to capture him before he left. Because the judge was affable and treated them as behooves a gentleman, the daily papers are hoping that as soon as inauguration day is over, all of the southern offices will be filled with their kind. Judge Taf' is too good a Republican to be bought by a mess of possum, and when the time comes for him to act, it will be in the interest of the organization of the party. Watch this prediction. THE TRIBUNE accepts gratefully the donation extended by the Ministers Evangelical Union. We loose sight of the amount in thinking of the spirit in which it was extended, which shows that the ministers of this organization appreciate the work that THE TRIBUNE is doing in their interest. THE TRIBUNE has opened its columns for all of the churches regardless of denomination, and each week there can be found, notes from churches representing all of the denominations nearly in the city. We appreciate what the ministers have done, and it will only the more inspire us for more unselfish service. Presidential Inauguration. Several persons have asked THE TRIBUNE about the trip to Washington to witness the Presidential inauguration. If twenty-five persons can be secured, we will be able to arrange for them special accommodation and reduced rates. Those desirous of going can inform THE TRIBUNE immediately in order that the number can be secured. We can also arrange for parties out of the city. New Trial Refused in Lihel Suit Judge Davis Freeman this morning refused the motion for a new trial'in the libel suit of R R. Wright, colored, against Sol. C. Johnson and John H Deveaux, also colored, for the alleged libelous publication of an article in the SAVANNAH TRIBUNE last year. Messrs. Twiggs an Gazan were attorneys for the libellant and Messrs. Osborne and Lawrence for the defendants. At the first trial the verdict was in favor of the defendants. This occurred on Oct. 16, 1908. The case at the time created much interest. —Press, January 23, 1009. Let Us Have The State Press Association. Press Association. We reproduce from the SAVANNAN TRIBUNE, an editorial in which it strongly endorses the proposal to have a State Press Association and we are glad indeed to see. We have been anxiously looking for a word from the TRIBUNE on this subject; any association that is not composed of our oldest well established papers must fail. So many of our newspapers belong to the mushroom class that they can not be depended upon. All should be gladly taken in but the administration should be in experienced hands. Editor Johnson of the TRIBUNE would be just the man for president of the association. The Georgia Baptist was first as far as we know, to suggest the organization of a State Press Association, but claims no honor that score. We believe it would be helpful to a struggling fraternity and being of that fraternity, we favor the organization of the Association. We have suggested that Macon, Ga., be the place of meeting because it is more central than our own city, though we would delight to have the meeting at Augusta and will promise the craft in advance a royal time if they will fix on Augusta as the meeting place.—Georgia Baptist. THE TRIBUNE appreciates the kind mention of Dr. White, and will under no circumstances accept such an honor when it should be given to the nestor of Negro journalism in Georgia. Crandall. Fla. Dots.

It was in-piring indeed to see the spiritual leaders regardless to denominations and themselves together for non-other purpose than the moral, and economic upfit of those whom under God they are called to lead. What is considered an advanced step was the appointment of a committee on vigilance whose business it is to keep a constant lookout for those things calculated to do harm among us with a view to either stamping them out or of warni against them.

Catholic Mutual Aid Society in St. Benedict's Church. On Monday evening an interesting little ceremony took place in the school room of St. Benedict's church, it was the installation of the new officers of the Catholic Mutual Aid Society attached to the church. As the constitution and by-laws indicate it, the object of this Society is the relief of its members in sickness and death; and development in all that pretains to the best in morals, social and literary acquirements. The members of the society must be communicants of the Catholic church. Besides the ordinary officers, the society has a sick committee of three members Whose duty it is to visit the sick members and to render them whatever aid the society allows; to watch their bed of suffering during the night and to give them consolation and comfort. The society was organized about 8 years ago, and since then it has done graet work. Its financial part is on a solid basis, and the society may confidently look into a prosperous future. The newly elected officers are President, John Scurdy; Vice President, James Dowes: Secretary and Treasure, Joseph King; Sergeant at Arms, John Simmons; Chairman of sick committee, John Boeifuillet. On Monday evening these officers were installed into office by the pastor, who in a few delicate words reminded each of them of their respective duties and responsibilities. After the installation a delightful social party took place, during which serious conversation was mingled with wit and humor. Very Rev. Ignatius Lissner, the superior of the colored mission in Georgia, honored the party with his presence and addressed a few words of encouragement to the men. It was also a pleasure to listen to the eloquent and humeric speeches made by several gentlemen. The interest of the C. M. A. Society and of St. Benedict's Church were considered in a practical stand point. Good work, both spiritually and financially, has been done in St. Benedict's in the last year. What we want is not so much the quantity as the quality. The consoling progress made in the last year is due not only to the zealous priests attached to the church, but also to the generous efforts of devoted ladies and faithful gentlemen. The secret of the successie St. Benedict's Church is the strong unity of the membres themselves and their sinceres devotedness to their priests. A congregation which can depend on a body of men like the members of the O. M. A. society can be proud and be assured of success and prosperity. Besides the above mentioned officers, there were also present, Theodore Mitchell, Charles Madden, William Smith, John Simmons, Amos Cannon, Charles Dezera and Frank Williams. The society lost one member in the last year in the person of Mr. Charles Daniels, who died on Christmas day. Mr. Daniels had been a faithful member since the beginning and his memry was piously remembered at this special meeting. Died Unexpectedly Mr. Oscar Elmore died suddenly on Friday night of last week. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon from the First A. B. Church. It was attended by a large number of persons. Rev. W. L. Jones conducted the services, assisted by other divines. The funeral was attended by Mt. Moriah Lodge No. 15, of Masons and by the True Reformers. Mr. Elmore was born in Augusta, Ga. and joined the Central-Baptist Church when he was eleven years of age. In 1882 he came to this city and joined Mt. Zion Church, but soon afterward removed his membership to the F. A. B. Church which he served faithfully until his death. He was one of the oldest deacons, and as a worker was unsurpassed in raising money for the church. Mr. Elmore was beloved by everybody. He leaves two daughters, Miss Caroline Elmore, Mrs. Janie Price a grandson, Oscar Elmore, two nieces, Misses Ruth Woodson and Mary L. Coleman of Augusta, and other relatives. Following resolutions from the J. W. Carr Association, were read at the services: Where as, It has pleased Almighty God to take out of our midst the soul of our deceased brother, let us bow in humble submission for He worketh all things for good and for the glory of heaven. Bro. Elmore was a true and faithful worker of this Association. We will truly miss him; his work will never be forgotten. But as the poet hath said: RESOLVED, that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon our minutes, a copy be sent to the bereaved family and a copy be published in the SAVANNAH TRIBUNE.

Ore plat on which wheat has been grown continuously for eleven years Is quite badly infested with wild oats. ‘Another plat two feet away from the first one, on which a” five-year rota- tion (wheat, grass, oats and corn) fs followed, ts free of yvild oats. If any farmer who fs troubled with any of our common annual weeds will Jay his farm off in convenient shaped and sized fieids, and follow a system ‘of rotation, using a well cultivated crop of corn once in five to seven years, and one to three grass crops during the same time, he will have buf little trouble with weeds, and will increase the products of hfs farm.— ‘Weekly Witness, - °° } Effect of Fatigue on Milk Supply. * In experiments made by the Ver- mont Experiment Station to deter- mine the effect of fatigue on the milk flow, the cows were driven ten to twelve miles and shipped fifty to sev- enty miles by rail. In the first trial with twenty-five cows, half gave rleh- er milk tho night of: thelr arrival, and ali richer milk the next morning than they did two weeks later, the fat being the most variable constitu- ent. ‘The Quantity was unfavorably affected. ‘In the second trial it was found that fatigue lessened the fow temporarily, affected. its quality. serl- ously for the first one or two milk- ings, and raised the quality after a little while. On the third trial six cows, eighteen hours en route and ot milked during this time, showed ‘temporary enrichment of the milk for a day or two. Apparently there gras no serfous milk shrinkige, It seems safe to conchide as a result of the threg trials that fatigue tends to Jessen the tow témporarily and vari- ously to affect the quality for one or two milkings. The folly of testing milk before a cow has become accus- tomed to her new surroundings 1s clear.—Farmers’ Home Journal. 1 —— oe -Symsatiacee Reine *. « I give a great deal of my time to blueberry growing as a business.

Conant, of _Massachysetts.= td . the Country Gentleman, in which he says: “I write briefly of-a matter of no small interest to dairy farmers. Two years ago, at Bopaymehdo Farnt, Maine, I siiggested. putting the second crop of, clovet tn the silo, at the bot- tom, undérneath the cofn. ‘It Indde an almost.pertect feed for the, follow ing early summer, before grass had started ructitn pastares. Now, Mr. Pope has,made @ further advance, a: I naveifust béen-informed by recent letter.

Hurrah for clover ensil- age! dere sare, “Blamed Fool Education.” That is what some knowledge of agriculture and dairying 1s called By a man who says he never t6ok or read agricultural or-dairy papers in his Ufe. He assumes that he knew tt all when he was*bori. ‘Here is an in- ventory of that fellow set out: by Hoard’s Dairymay, In referring to one of fts cow census correspondents who was looking over the dairy fleld of Wisconsin, it-gays of this man: “He found a farmer with a herd of sixfeens cows, the milk of which he was tating to a creamery. Actually he did fot get money erough from his cows to pay for their keeping, and-he Jost about $8 ahead. Within a quar- ter of a mile of this man was another fatmer, a patron of the same cream- ery, whose herd of nineteen cows paid a profit above the cost of keeping of $17 apiece. The difference between those two men was, one man’s ‘loss added to the other's profit, or a dif- ference of $25 per cow for the poor herd, . - ‘The census taker tried to arouse the duli man to a sense of the situa- tion he was fn, and showed him the figures relating to the more success- tif farmer. This seemed to anger Bim, and he said it was “all a le,” and he knew it! So low and sunken ‘was this man’s mind that- he had never had a dairy or agricultural pa- per in his house. ‘That showed clear- iy the amount of brains he was bring. ing to bear on his work. He boasted to the census taker that he had got all he had withoutanyof this “blamed foo) education.”* eee Recovering Waste Places. » How many farmers have ever taken the trouble to make a careful esti- mate of the amount of unutilized land on thelr farms? There may bo several acres bvergrown with brash and each year becoming moré difficult to clear of and put in productive condition, or there fs a considerable area-from which the timber has been removed, but which has not been sultably cleared of the brush and re- sulting rubbish. It Is Ieft to produce berry bushes, and great variety of weeds until the soll is so abundantly supplied with the onemles to profita~ ble culture that {t will require years of patient toll te eradicate or subdue them. ‘There are on many farms acres of valuable land rendered utter- ly worthless by permitting the water from springs to run over the leach through it. A small outlay in drain- ing would put the land in a pro- ductive condition and in many cases the spring water might Be conveyed to distant pasture fields, or the house or barn, where its presence would be worth more than the cost of the im- provement. In close times Ilke the present it behooves farmers to have a careful regard for the principles, ot economy. If an outlay of five dollars wiN make a return of twice that amount in a singlé.season, then sure- ly hard times furnish no excuse for neglecting the improvemént, but rather are an argument and incentive for prompt action. But the con- spleuous waste places are only a part of the land which year after year is permitted to He dle, ar Worse, fo produce only weeds. . The unutilized land along the fences about our grain fields amount to a cotisiderable in the aggregate,-and close-economical ‘management will redi.o this loss to the minimum.

In the illustration it is made of crepe de chine trimmed with taffeta, but it is adapted to many materials, and would be very charming for linen and other washable materials quite as well as for silk and wool. It can be made to match the skirt or match the trimming on the skirt as liked, or it can be made as an entirely separate garment, and it consequently suits a great many purposes. The wide girdle is very becoming, while it makes one of the latest features and the trimming is unusual and exceedingly smart. Very little material is required and so little labor is involved in the making that the model makes an exceptionally desirable one from every point of view. The over blouse is made in two pieces, there being no seams whatever. It is attached to a foundation girdle and over this the draped one is arranged. It can be closed at either the front or the back, and the inner edges are faced to form the trimming, while the outer ones are finished with shaped bands applied over them. Conrser Silks. The coarser the ribs the more fashionable the silk. Liko Big Powder Puffs. Up to the very latest minute is the swansdown hat. A model in one of the smart milliner shops was in a mushroom effect, covered with the fluffy swansdown. Around the crown went a twist of gold ribbon and just at one side was a huge pale pink rose. The effect was very babyish and charming, and despite the substantial price asked by the Fifth avenue milliner, a hat should be contrived at home for a very moderate sum. The New Boot. As petticoats will not be worn the new boot is designed to keep women's ankles covered when they are crossing the street and holding up their gowns. It is already widely in favor. Misses' Three-Piece Skirt. The three-piece skirt is one of the prettiest variations of the circular model. It includes the narrow front gore, which gives the fashionable straight lines and it falls in graceful and becoming folds. This one is designed for young girls and is appropriate for any skirting material, whether the skirt makes part of a sult or an indoor gown. It can be trimmed with buttons as illustrated, with braid or with banding, or be finished in any way that individual fancy may dictate. The buttons and simulated buttonholes are, however, exceedingly smart, and in the illustration they are made of satin, while the skirt itself is made of broadcloth. The skirt consists of three pieces. The front gore is turned under at its edges and arranged over the circular portions to give the box pleat effect, and the fulness over the hips is taken up in darts, while there are inverted pleats at the back. The quantity of material required for the sixteen-year size is five and THE LADY'S DRESS five-eighth yards twenty-four, five and three-eighth yards twenty-seven or three and five-eighth yards forty-four or fifty-two inches wide. 1 Rimmed Buttons. Because women complained loudly of braid and cloth buttons wearing out so soon, the new ones have a metal rim, which entirely protects the edges. The mold inside may be covered with any material desired and the metal cap fitted on. Horn is also used as well as bone, and it is possible that both the latter look better on a rough serge or cheviot suit than buttons with rims of metal.

COUNTIES DONOT WANT THEM Auanta, Ga. — When the convict Tease system goes cut of business in Georgia, as it will on April 1, that slass of white convicts which has ‘Deen able~to do mental and profes: sional work, and for whose talents the lessees found use, may have to pick up a hoe or take hold of a plow ‘and go to work in the field. There has always been a number et white convicts skilled in business ar certain trades—such as bookkeep- ers, engineers and the like, for whom the lessees have found office work in such lines or employment at those callings in which they were expert. Almost every one of the lessees’ got hold of a bookeeper, accountant, of- fice man, engineer ‘or some other among the convicts allotted to bim, and they were kept employed in these lines. The state will have no use for these now. The counties will not want them, as they do not propose to take any White conviets, It 1s the purpose ot the state to place all of the white con- ‘victs on a central farm, soon to bo purchased. On this farm the state may buve occasion to use or or two ‘office men, but scarcely more, and it Jcoks as if the balance will have to take to the field and do farm work. ‘Tho prison commission has had this feature under consideration, but has not been able to arrive at any defl- nite solution, other than the employ- ment of practically all of the white convicts at farm work. j Another opportunity which the con- viets will lose {s that of accumulating money by extra work, as they havo Deen able to do in many instances "un der the lease system. Usually in the lessee camps each convict had so much work to do, and all he did In excess of the amount required he was paid for 2t a certain fixed rate. In this way many of them have been able ‘to leave the penitentiary with com fortable sums to their credit. One snegro recently left the penitentiary, ‘after fourteen years’ service, with $800 cash in his pocket, "The state, of course, will not es- lablish any cuch custom as this. ‘Tho law does not contemplate that a con~ viet shall earn anything, nor could the opportunity be given in doing road work under state direction. The only thing the prison commission could do, should {t deal in any way with this phase of the problem, would be to Shorten to a certain extent the terms ‘of those who give thelr best service to the state. : Present indications are that after each county which has called for con- ‘viets has been supplied with {ts legal pro rata share, there will remain only about 200 “overs” for distribution among the counties that want con- wiets In excess of their legal num- “ber. : ‘This number would supply scarcely more than one-tenth of the demand. “There are applications now on file for something like 1,600 -overs or more. ach county calling for overs would, therefore, get from one to five, or something like that. Znasmuch as the large counties will zet a sufficient number of convicts from thelr regular pro rata to consti- tute a good-sized working ‘gang, Sec- retary Goodloe Yancey of the prison commission, has suggested that the smaller cotintles be permitted to dl- vide the “overs” among themselves so_that they may secure gangs of sufficient size to accomplish some Stmar . FRUIT NOT HURT. Blooms Appear Only In Sheltered or Diseased Trees. : | Atlanta, Ga—Despite rumors of @amage to peach orchards from the uunseasonably warm weather of the cweek, and the appearance here and ‘there of blooms, President H, C.

Among the Masons, In a sermon to Masons last month, the Rey. Addison of Jersey City, N. J., described the source of fraternal orders as the natural development of the social and economical intercourse of man. He discussed Masonry as re- Jated to the church and as a factor fn the creed of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, He declared that. its work had always becn interlinked with that of the church, and gave it credit for, cathe- drals erected if many parts of the world.” The term “high Mason” is often heard; but never “low Mason.” They are all high Masons who follow the precepts of Masonic teachings, and while “low Mason™ is not mentioned, he is a “low Mason” who does not pay his just debts if able, back bites his brother Mason, turns a deaf ear to the cry of the needy if able to re lieve them, in short who pays uo at tention to the lessons taught him within the tiled door, no matter what degrees he may have attained In the order. MASONRY A PURIFIER. Masonry is a chief purifier. It especially Inculcates, in all its cere- aionles and instructions, that it Is not the outward man that is to be re- garded, but the inner, honest, noble nature. Our institution stands as bulwark against all sentiments tut encourage and fortify social vices. It ‘teaches, in plainest lessons, the full fraternfty of all men, and distinctions ‘to be based chiefly upon moral worth. It protests vigorously against adora- ion of mere success, against hero wership, grown {nto brute worship. It sternly criticizes the means through which success has been tebieved, and accords honor to the highest and less selfish mcdes of ac- tivity, It teaches that our rich biethren should not spend their Itves in personal gratification, but devote them to the general welfare. Let men of weallh among us be houored only as they deserve it—by the use they make of this, their talent—National ¥Fieemason, . ORIGINAL AND PECULIAR. Grand Master Bell in his re- marks to lodges is calling attention o one matter which all Masons should be brought to understand and that is that Masonry fs the original fraternal society and 1s organized and operated along lines peculiar to itself. it patterns after né° human society aril is the peer of them all, The ten- dency of the times is to borrow from other orders and to ape thelr manner of procedure. Because the Odd Fel- lows or Knights of Pythias do certain things is no reason why Masonry should immediately adopt the same practices. Qne great trouble with Masonry today is that men educated to the practice of other societies find their way into office in a Masonic lodge and immediately commence to follow out what they have previously learned Without ever tyying to ac- quaint themselves with the teachings of Masonry, or the manger of Ma- sonic procedure. MAKING MASONS. We do not -share the opinion that the chfef danger of the present situa- tion Mes in the acceptance of unwor- thy materia, although in the hurry and excitement, bad men are Mable to creep In. The supreme difficulty fs that a lodge cannot-properly assimi- late more than a reasonable number of new members. We can not make Masons in unlimited quantities and ake them right. It is true that the number of degrees that .cait be con- ferred can be. limited only by the endurance of the workmen. But there’is much more In Masonry than the ritual, and the conferring of the degrees 4s only a stepping stone to the making of a Mason. It is the be- ginning of his edueation, but in too many cases it is the ending. A good man will not make @ good Mason un- less he {s properly instructed. If he is “railroaded” into the fraternity and then left to bis own devices, as too many are, he gains no true con; ception of the Institution and be- comes a very Indifferent Mason— Masonic Tidings CORDIAL RELATIONS. The Order of the Eastern Star is not only making rapid progress as an order, and doing much for humanity, but also has become an important tae tor in Masonry, The brethren are reallzing the benefits of the actlye co-! operation of the wives, widows, moth- ers, sisters and daughters of Masons, so that the preparatory work for many new chapters has been done at the lodge meetings. The result has been the lodge workers are the ac- tive ones in these new chapters, which Insures their immediate suc- cess——E. W. Poindexter, P. G. P, iaunes, = SPORTING BREVITIES. |.

There was a deman¢ from Berlin for so gifted a specimen of the anthropold ape and he has now been added to the collections in the zoological gardgn of that elty. Perhap: Mt is not very remarkable that an in- telligent ape, with innate love for feats of balancing and gymnasgic stunts on the branches of trees, should learn to ride a bleycie, His trainer reports that his patfence and time wero not overtaxed in teach- ing him to ride. The ape was a little slow In grasping the {dea that by work. ing the pedals he could propel the ma- chine, but when light dawned upon him his education as a wheelman was al- most complete. He is not yet suftic fently observant, of obstacles in the road but he is improving. Just now the Germatr public ts most interested in the studies that Dr. Alexander Sokolovek! has been mak- ing of three anthropold apes at Stell ingen, near Berlin. His sclentific spec- ialty is zoological psychology and he has been observing the life of two orang-outangs, male and female, called Jacob and Rosa, and an unnaried chim- panzee. He has convinced himself that these animals have not only instinct but also elementary reasoning pow- ers, Tho three animals are excellent friends, but there are marked temper- amental differences between the chim- panzee and the orangoutangs. The former Is full of life and fs doing some- thing every waking moment, The lat- ter are more quiet, sit reposefully tor long periods on the oor, atid when they attempt the swinging bar they are slower and more cautious than the chimpanzee who {s reckless. He likes rough and tumble play with Jacob, but Rosa ts bis favorite. There seems to be 2 perfect understanding between them and she {s his dutiful servant in many of his original performances. To facilitate Dr, Sokolovsk!'s studles the keepers gave a good deal of lati- tude to the three animals. The chim- panzee especially has had his own way to an unusual extent. Ho acts more naturally when he does not know that he fs under human observ- ation, and for hours every day he has been apparently by himself though watched every moment. Some of the most {nteresting results of Dr. Sokolovskl’s studles grew out of the chimpanzee’s desire to escape con- fnement. He does not like it, though his two friends seem content. They occupied a part of a very largo wire cage, more than half of which was used as the summer sleeping place of the giraffes. The board partition dlv- ding the cage into two compartments was high, though it did not extend to the roof. Nobody dreamed that the chimpanzee could surmount this wall, bat he did, and {t was of his three suc- cessful! attempts to get out of his cage. In a corner of the cage against the wooden partition was a large box in which the apes slept and so heavy that they could not move it. One day the chimpanzee jumped up on this bor and seemed to be critically examining the partition. He jumped into the air again and again with his arms etretéh- ed above his head, but he. ¢ould not bring bis fingers within three feet of the top of the wall, His attention suddenly became riveted upon a large tin globe which had been given to the animals to play with. It was made of thick plate and was so big and heavy’ that It was not easy to handle. It was made for rolling along the ground. | Now was the time for Rosa to help, and she Was summoned. Together they boosted the globe upon the box and rolied it into the corner, Here it was kept by the faithful and {ntelll- gent Rosa while her friend clamber- ed upsover her back to the top of the globe. Rosa stlll kept the globe tn place while the venturesome chimpan- zee jumped again and again for the top of that partition. But he, could not reach it by several inches” Then he had a conference with Rosa. Just how he communicated his idea to her 1s not known, but she understood him somehow or other. The chimpanzee took her arm and helped her to clamber up on the globe. She stretched herself face downward on the rounding surface. The chim- panzee mounted on her body and made another mighty spring Into the air, It wes a great success, for he cluteh- ed the top of the partitfon and drop- ped down among the giraffes on the other side. Ho was not a bit concern- ed about leaving his friénds, but the unselfish Rosa had helped him to de- sert without reaping any advantage Herself. - ‘The keepers escorted the ape back to nis own compartinent and deprived the-| orior IOLIO“N observed with much apparent Interest | that whem the keeper entered the cage he handled a bunch of keys,-Ong of rch he inserted inf a padlock, ‘The Keoper sometimes gave him the keys because he was so gravely curious to examine them one by one, and often he would strain up against the wiro to look at the padlock outside, for the idea seemed to dawn upon -him that it had something to do with getting into or out of the cage. One day Jacob managed to break tho wooden plece on the swing and this put an Implement {nto the hands of the chimpanzee. -The bit of tough hard- wood was about three feet long and it had broken zo that one end was al- most a point. Dr. Sokolovskl could scarcely believe bis eyes when he saw the ape thrust the stick outside of the wire, push the thin end up through the staple that held the padlock and then pry with all bis might to force it out. ‘The Keeper was not{fied, the erform- ances terminated, and the chimpanzee was deprived of his new tool. As he felt his restraint so deeply tt was decided to give him a lttle oc- caslonal exercise in the open, and £0 ‘one day the keeper took him out Into the garden for a stroll, leading him by a small chain. It was a great lark for the ape and he plainly manifested his enjoyment and all the more when they- reached a fruit stall at the gate, where he was regaled with bananas. He had the time of his llfe and the very next day he decided that he want- ed,another stroll and more bananas. He set to work on the wire of the cage, which wes merely meant for summer use, but was supposed to be strong enough to hold any animal that was, Put {nto the cage. The chimpanzee tonfined his attention to the smaller wireS-that were bent around the net- work of larger wires to keep them fn place, He bit and tugged at one wire with his strong teeth’till It broke, and then he uncolled it with his fingers end threw it on the ground. Ho treat- ed a number of these wire bands in the same way and then with bis enor- mously strong hands and arms he pull- ed and bent the larger wires till he had cleared a, hole big enough to crawl through. » It was high time to sound the alarm, but before dhything could be done the chimpanzee was out In the garden and Jacob and Rosa were at-his heels. The leader was making straight for tho frult stand when the force of keep- ers coralled the party and forced them back into the cage. This is only one serles of observa- tions among many which led Dr, Sok- clovski to tho conviction that ‘these animals, while less thai human, are much more than brutes. He learned many things also from the orang- outang, but they were not so bright and Inicresting as the chimpanzee. One of the peculfarities of this fel~ low was hfs antipathy for everything human excepting bis keepers. Jacob and Rosa would blandly extend thelr hands for 2 cordial shake with-the pub- Uc while the chimpanzee lurked be- hind for a gocd chance to snatch off the headgear of ‘the visitors. Sped- tacles arolised his-greatest ire and he had a way of sweeping them off the nose with a sort of byckhand claw that hurt and almost stunned the victim. Dr. Sokolovski advises that a num- ber of young men trained In zoological or comparative, psychology be statfon- ed in the native homes of these an{- mals to make a thorough study of them. He does not’ think that the- anthropold ape was the direct ances- tor of the humen race, but he believes man originated through some striking diferentiation-from them. At any rate in physfcal structure and in mentai processes they are the near- est approach which the brute creation has made to man. They are worthy of the most minute study, and with the present methods of Investigation Dr. Sokolovsk! believes 1t will be possible (0 reveal their whole life and history and to learn just what they are—New.
