VOL. XXIV. ANTI-JAP BILL KILLED Measure Barring Aliens Voted Down By California Assembly. OBJECTION TO THE MEASURE Was That It Menaced Capital—There Were Many Dramatic Scenes During the Debate on the Bill. Sacramento, Cal.—After a debate of 12 hours' duration, the assembly, by a vote of 48 to 28, rejected the Drew bill, barring aliens from owning land in California. The result of this contest is considered a fair test of the relative strength of the two factions in the assembly and as foreshadowing the detest of all measures that would tend to embarrass the national government in its relations with Japan. The bill had been amended at the request of President Roosevelt and Secretary Root, so that the clause applying it to Japanese only, was eliminated, making the bill apply to all aliens. In substance, the objection to it was that it would drive at least a billion dollars of foreign capital out of the state, and might jeopardize the present friendly commercial relations with Japan. Two sensational speeches were made, one for and one against the measure. Assemblyman Grover L. Johnson made an impassioned appeal for the enactment of the bill. At the altimax of his speech he walked backward with his speech to the lobby rail and, golzing in his arms a golden-haired little girl of three, held her loft, and declared that "he was in favor of this, as opposed to the Japanese menor" to our institutions. A BARE AND HIGH HONOR. Judge Taft Will Be Made a Mason at Sight. Cincinnati, Ohio—The grand master of Ohio Masons, Charles S. Huskinson of Zanesville has tendered to William Howard Taft the rare and high honor of being made a Mason at eight. Judge Taft has accepted and will return to Cincinnati on Thursday, February 18, when the grand master will convene a distinguished company of Masons in the Scottish Rite cathedral and exercise the high prerogative which belongs only to a grand master of Masons. This honor is so rarely conferred that there is but a single instance on record in the one hundred years' history of Masonry in Ohio. On October 18, 1892, the Honorable Asa S. Bushnell of Springfield was made a Mason at sight by Grand Master Levi C. Goodale, of this city. MEMENTOES OF LINCOLN. Shawl and Other Relics Will Be On Exhibit Chicago, Ill.—Personal mementoes of Abraham Lincoln will be exhibited during "Lincoln week" through the consent of Frank G. Logan. The famous old farm colored shawl is one of Mr. Logan's fondest possessions. This wrap, fringed and softly striped, has touched no shoulders since Lincoln wore it. Another valuable belonging which Mr. Logan now owns is a simple black frock coat, which Lincoln wore the night he was shot. Among the other relics are the last line which Lincoln penned, a signature to a photograph just before he entered the carriage, which drove him to his death, and a cane carved from a piece of the ribbing of the Merrimac. PURE FOOD LEGISLATION. Roundly Denounced by Canners of All Sections. Louisville, Ky.-Over two thousand members of the National Canning Trades listened to addresses by officers of the various associations denouncing recent pure food legislative enactments President Charles S. Carry of Hoopeston, Ill., devoted the time of his report to a declaration that the national pure food law was sane and technical, but that state legislatures were passing laws subject to subject and in manner which they did not understand. He protested against charges that a great percentage of canned goods were polonous, declaring that the exhibit in connection with the present convention was the best refutation. GATUN DAM SATISFACTORY. Engineers of Taft Party to Report Favorably on Canal Plans. Panama.—The engineers who accompanied President-elect Taft to the Ithmus, after close investigation, declared they had no fault to find with the natural foundations for the Gatun dam, and they regarded the plans for the safeguarding of the dam as being complete in every respect. VILLIAGE DEEP IN GROUND. One in Calabria Buried 250 Feet Deep by Earthquake. Rome, Italy—Such distressing reports have been received here concerning the suffering in the mountain villages of Calabria, which have been inadequately reached by the work of the large relief committees, that Ambassador Griscom has decided to send a relief party there. Prince Scalena, who has just returned from Calabria, brings reports of some telluric phenomena, which seem almost incredible. One of the villages, he says, was carried two hundred and fifty feet underground by the opening up of the earth and the subsequent landslide. Savannah Tribune. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. GOVERNOR HASKELL INDICTED. Executive of Oklahoma Must Answer to Charge of Land Fraud. Muskogee, Okla.—As a result of the investigation by the grand jury of the alleged frauds in connection with the scheduling of town lots in this city, seven indictments were returned. The charge against the defendants is conspiracy to defraud the government. The names of those indicted are: Governor Charles N. Haskell, F. B. Severs, A. Z. English, C. W. Turner, W. T. Hutchings, James W. Hill and Walter R. Ephron. Attorney Thomas H. Owen of Muskogee, representing Governor Haskell, has made arrangements for the governor to enter his appearance and give bond in the sum of $5,000 for appearance for trial. SPAIN FEELS SLIGHTED. Resent Failure of American Ships to Touch Spanish Ports. Madrid, Spain.—Failure of any of the American battleships to stop at any Spanish port during the fleet's stay in Mediterranean waters, has caused an under current of resentment in government circles. For diplomatic reasons the government is not voicing its displeasure. Ports in France, Turkey, Algiers and other countries were touched, but Spanish coast towns have been ignored. Spain would have welcomed the opportunity of doing honor to the fleet, seeing in such event a complete effacement of the last trace of bitterness growing 'out of the Spanish-American war. The situation is so delicate, diplomats explain, that Spain could not urge her claims though it was hoped until the last that the American government would arrange the Mediterranean itinerary to include at least one Spanish port. CUBAN OFFICIALS CLASH. President and Vice President Lock Hornz. Havana, Cuba—The first serious clash between President Gomez and Vice President Zayas, which occurred when the proposal was made to appoint Ricardo Arnauto chief of the secret police in place of Jose Jerez, who resigned upon the demand of Secretary of Government Alberdi, has resulted in a victory for Senor Zayas, who, it is believed, presented an ultimatum that he would immediately resign if the obnoxious appointment was made. Yielding to the urgent remonstrances and threats of the vice president, and a storm of protest from all quarters, President Gomez announced he would appoint Jose Ugarte chief. Much relief is expressed that the threatened trouble between General Gomez and Senor Zayas has been averted. CLEVELAND ON GOLD. Portrait of Ex-President on the New Certificates. Washington, D. C.—Secretary of the Treasury Cortlyou has approved new designs for the $10 and $50 gold certificates, and the notes will soon be issued from the bureau of engraving and printing. The $10 certificates will bear the portrait of Grover Cleveland, his long-serving alum that, after doctor president's likeness has been used on any note or stamp of the United States. The new $50 notes will bear the portrait of former President-Grant. Boy Forgets His Name. Memphis, Tennessee.—After exchanging telegrams and letters with many cities, the police believe they have identified the youth who applied to the police several weeks ago, and asked that he be fold who he was. From a description sent them by the boy's father, J. W. Porter of Oltawa, Kans., they believe that he is Roy C. Porter, who disappeared from Lathrop, Mo., in 17th. Physicians who have examined him declare his mental condition to be normal, and that he is suffering from a lapse of memory. Mobile Evolive Captured. Mobile, Ala.—Charles C. Dickens, who mysteriously disappeared from Mobile several weeks ago and is alleged to have taken with him bonds and funds of the assets of the English Manufacturing company aggregating more than $100,000, creating a sensation both in financial and social circles, has been arrested at Houston, Va. Walking Arongd World.

Rhodes of Birmingham spoke of the devotion of the country to the American navy. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1909. SEVENTEEN MEN KILLED As Result of Accident in Coal Mine in Alabama. MIS-SHOT CAUSED EXPLOSION Thorough Investigation Will Be Made as to Cause of the Accident in Short Creek Coal Mine. Birmingham, Ala.—Seventeen men are dead as the result of an explosion in the No. 2 Short Creek mines of the Birmingham Coal and Iron Company. Five of the dead are white and twelve are negroes. The explosion is thought to have been caused by a windy-shot. The mines are about ten miles west of Ensley on the Birmingham Southern railroad, and are difficult of access. The seventeen bodies were taken from the mines and the rooms and passages were cleared without difficulty. The mine itself is practically blunted. Alex. Bonneyman, general manager of the company, was among the first to leave Birmingham for the scene of the disaster, although Mine Inspector Hillhouse and Inspector Flynn hurried to the scene to render what aid they could and to make their inspection. Officials of the company did not know the exact number of men in the mine at the time of the accident, but they state that seventeen fatalities will be the total. CAPTAIN UNDER ARREST. Drunkenness Charged to Commander of Battleship Georgia. Gibraltar. — Captain Edward F. Qualtrough, of the battleship Georgia, is under arrest on board his own vessel, and will be tried by court-martial on a charge preferred by Bear Admiral Wainwright, commanding the second division of the fleet, that he was under the influence of intoxicants at a reception given on shore a few days ago. Captain Qualtrough, whose vessel is the division flagship, was relieved from duty by the admiral immediately after the reception, and the executive officer was placed in command. The ship was brought into Gibraltar by the executive. Captain Qualtrough denies the charge. His defense will be that he was under a heavy strain during the last run of his vessel on account of rough weather; -that on the day of the reception he had been on the bridge since 4 o'clock in the morning; that he did not drink anything during the day, and that he received at the dinner which preceded the reception. Fatigue was responsible for his appearance. DAMAGES IN SUM OF $14,500: Oil Company Held for Death of Woman and Children, Washington, D. C.-The supreme court of the United States has held the Waters-Pierce Oil company ?of Missouri responsible for damages for the death of the wife and two children of Albert B. Deselms of Orlando, Fla., thus affirming the decision of the supreme court of that state, which affirmed an award of $14,500 damages. Mrs. Deselms and the two children were burned to death February 4, 1902, in a fire which consumed Deselms' house, and which, it was claimed, originated in the use of what was supposed to be pure coal oil, but it is now contended there was such a large percentage of gasoline as to render it unusually inflammable. GIRL USED GUN. Killed One Man and Seriously Injured Four Others. Gatesville, Texas.—Using an automatic revolver, Miss Verna Ware, the daughter of a prominent farmer of this county, fired into a crowded court room here continuing until her weapon was emptied, and as a result John Hanes, a merchant of Jonesboro, for whom the bullets were intended, is dead; two bystanders, James Smith and David Ross, are believed to be mortally wounded, and A. P. Wiley, Jr., also a disinterested party, is seriously wounded. It was during the conclusion of a seduction case on trial in the district court that the shooting occurred. Miss Ware appeared as complainant and Hanes as defendant. WHITE STUDENTS ATTACK JAPANESE Unfortunate Affray Takes Place at University of California. Berkley, Cal.-Kenji Kaneko, a Japanese student of the University of California and a graduate of the Imperial University at Tokio, was set upon on the college campus by a crowd of white students. The matter will be taken before the Japanese consul general in San Francisco. It is asserted that the assault was unprovoked; that Kenji Kaneko was attacked while walking quietly by a group of students. BRANDENBORGH IS PENNILESS Will Return and Face Trial When He Gets Money. New York City—A statement justifying his failure to respond to the calling of his name in court to answer to the charge of grand larceny, was given out by Broughton Brandenburg, the writer, through his wife. Brandenburg, who is wanted in connection with the selling to the New York Times of an article which he represented as having been written by the late Grover Cleveland, gives as his reasons for forfeiting his ball that he cannot retain experts to refute the expert testimony to be offered by the prosecution. He declares he will face trial when he gets money. REPORT ON "PALLAGRA." Makdy-Is a Very Grave Menace to Southern Health. Washington, D. C.—Looming up as a grave menace to health conditions in the south is the recent appearance of a deadly disease known to medical scientists as "pellagra." This strange malady is a veritable scourge in the Old World, and the possibility of its becoming endemic in the southern states is by no means remote. For several centuries "pellagra" is known to have existed in the Old World, but its presence in the south has been but recently discovered. It probably has existed for several years in that section of the country, but medical men have failed to recognize its presence. Now, however, this peculiar disease has been diagnosed as true pellagra, and the credit for its discovery in the south belongs to Fast Assistant Surgeon C. H. Lavender of the public health and hospital service. He has made a thorough investigation of the disease and has but recently made an exhaustive report on his observations to Surgeon General Weyman. Pellagra is a malady caused by the eating of spoiled maize, and, produces in persons afflicted with it a sort of intoxication. The disease generally occurs among the poorer classes of the rural population, who subsist very largely or exclusively on corn most usually prepared by boiling corn meal in salt water called "potenilis in plain. Dr. Lavinder states that in pelagulous countries the corn is often poor quality, gathered before maturity and not properly cured and stored, so that parasites more easily dexelon upon it. In the preface of his report, Dr. Lavinder declares that there is reason to believe that perhaps pellagra may be quite prevalent in the southern states, but is unrecognized. With in the past two or three years, for some reason or reasons unknown, this disease has rapidly increased in numbers and extent of territory affected. Pellagra bears a close resemblance to the accepted description of pellagra as it occurs in the Old World, although differently in some particulars, and the acute cases greatly preponderate and the mortality is high. "Since it is of a serious character, and epidemic in nature," declares Dr. Lavinder, "knowledge concerning it is becoming of much importance to the American physician, and especially to the practitioner in the southern states." Both Die In Street. St. Louis, Mo.-While summoning aid for his wife, who had dropped dead in the street from heart disease, Sebastian Stoil, 67 years old, died beside the body of his helpmate of 50 years. Mrs. Sebastian Stoil, 95 years old, was on her way home from church, where she and when she expired. He believing she had fainted went to a nearby house, obtained assistance and then fell lifeless beside the corpse of his wife. A double funeral was held. Straight Elve Cent Fare. Cleveland, Ohio. — In accordance with instructions recently issued by Judge Taylor of the federal court to receivers of the entire street railway system of this city, the rate of rare was increased on all lines except upon those where the franchises specifically provide a rate of not more than 3 cents. Approximately two-thirds of the street car patrons are now paying a straight 5-cent fare. Lincoln Cahin Moved. Louisville, Ky.-In the preparation for the observance of the Lincoln centenary on the birthplace of the emancipator near Hodgenville, Ky., the cabin, which was on exhibition here, was removed to the memorial farm. This cabin, which was on exhibition here during Kentucky's home coming week in 1968, has been stored since in a local warehouse. Duke Is Determined. Turin. — Notwithstanding official denials, it is still lasserted that the Duke of the Abruzzi has resigned as an officer of the Italian navy. It is also stated that he has exerted himself in the expedition to the Himalayas, to marry Misa.Katherine Elkins, either as a royal prince, or a private individual. One Hour In Peplenitary Grand Cane, La.—One hour in the penitentiary is the sentence that has been imposed upon Elmo Williams, who was tried and found guilty on the charge of involuntary manslaughter here. Two Hundred Killed. Canton, China.—At least 200 lives were lost in a fire which occurred in a fleet of flower boats. The charred bodies of 170 victims have already been recovered, but many persons are still missing. $500,000-Deal In Naval Stores. Pensacola, Fla.—The largest deal in naval stores property to be consummated in the south in many years was consummated here, when the Williams Naval stores Company of Pensacola, Savannah, purchased the property of the J. R. Saunders Company in this city, the consideration being $500,000. Central Bank Favored. Washington, D.C.-A central bank issue for the United States will be the recommendation of the first national monetary commission The postal savings bank bill has little, if any, chance of enactment at this session. A NEW SOCIAL ORDER For the Farmers Backed By the U. S. Government. TO BE ON IRRIGATED LANDS Chicago, Ill.—A new social order for farmers is pictured by George E. Barstow of Barstow, Texas, president of the International Irrigation Congress, who is in Chicago on business connected with the big gathering to be held in Seattle next summer. Great tracts of land where the farmers will not live on the land, but in towns, from which they will hasten by the aid of fast horses or in automobiles, or interurban cars, to cultivate the soil, was the "new thing" which the irrigation expert declared would soon become a fact. Mr. Barstow is known as the "father of irrigation in southwest" He was a time mover in inducing the federal government to build the systems which will make fertile over 3,000,000 acres of land once a desert. It is on these government tracts that the old isolated farm house is to become a thing of the past. "The government is laying out towns every five miles," he said. "Thus no farm will be much more than two and one-half miles from a town. The farms will be small, 10 to 40 acres, and the farming intensive. Under these circumstances the farmers will live in towns of 1,500 to 2,000 people, enjoying all the benefits of urban life—schools, churches and social life. At the same time they will be within as easy reach of their farms as is the average Chicagoan of his business. "A tide from the city to the country has already set in. Many college graduates have chosen farming on irrigated tracts for their life work." YANKEE FLEET AT GIBRALTER. First Division of Battleships at Fam- our Rock. Gibraltar.—The first division of the United States Atlantic fleet, composed of the Connecticut, Vermont, Kansas and Minnesota, under command of Rear Admiral Sperry, arrived here. From the moment the glistening white hills of the American ships were more specks upon the blue water of the Mediterranean, every colon of vantage on the rock of Gibraltar was occupied, and by the time they were ready to round majestically into the harbor, the entire population seemed to be massed on the water front. $ ^{2} $ Two British battleships and the four ships of the second cruiser squadron, just returned from South American waters, two Russian battleships and two protected cruisers, a French gunboat and a Dutch gunboat, lying inside the breakwater with sides manned, flags dipping and bands playing, greeted the Americans as each in turn entered and berthed. The American ships responded, with flags and music, the band on board the Connecticut playing the national anthem of each country represented. $10,000 A WEEK. Offered President Roosevelt to Appear With Circus. Washington, D. C.—An offer of $10,000 per week for an engagement of thirty weeks with an organization to be known as "Roosevelt's Congress of Rough Riders," has been formally made to President Roosevelt by a former circus manager, acting for a Bridgeport, Conn., syndicate. In his letter the circus man asked for an appointment. He considers $10,000 a week going some. The syndicate is ready to furnish a private car or two. All the president is asked to do is to make one appearance in the show. His part will be to lead a charge of San Juan Hill, followed by a, Buffalo Bill outfit. Washington, D. C.—Secretary Loeb said that the offer of a circus man at Bridgeport, Conn., of $300,000 to President Roosevelt to appear in a Rough Rider exhibition in connection with the circus was "too absurd to merit notice." DEBTS OWED TRUSTS Are Void According to Decision of U. S. Supreme Court. Washington, D. C.—The case of the Continental Wall Paper Company vs. Lewis Volgt & Sons of Cincinnati was decided by the supreme court of the United States in Volgt's favor. The suit was brought by the company on a debt of $77,000, the payment of which was $25,000 and the ground of the company issue. In effect the decision holds that an admitted trust organized contrary to the Sherman anti-trust law cannot use the court to collect debts. TO START CHINESE SCHOOL California People to Look After the Children of Allens. San Francisco, Cal.-A Chinese school will be established in this city by the imperial government for the education of the Chinese children of California. Leong Hing Kwal, who will have charge of the new school, was appointed a commissioner of education by the emperor of China to look after the necessities of the children of Chinese parents in this country, and it was on his report that it was decided to establish the school. The methods used in the Chinese schools conducted by the local school department will be used in the institution. LATE NEWS NOTES Forest fires are raging in southeast Texas. Heavy losses are being inflicted on the lumber companies. A. fireman on the battleship Kentucky, while jumping from a small boat to the ship's ladder, fell overboard and was drowned. He was buried at Gibraltar and the coffin was escorted by detachments of French and American marines. Alfred Picard, who was named minister of marine in succession to M. Thomson last year for the purpose of reorganizing and carrying out reforms in the French navy, has presented to the cabinet of that country an extensive plan of development which, not counting new ships, involves an expenditure of $45,000,000. The despised cockleburr bids fair to become a product of cultivation. An experiment of making oil from the weed in a mill erected for the purpose at Vidalla, La., is said to have proved very successful, and the farmers in that section have gone in for its gathering on a large scale. The promoters of the plant say the future may develop a cockleburr plantation, in place of cotton. The stranges affliction of Anna Kane, a, Watertown, Conn., mill girl, is puzzling physicians. Last week, while working in the box department of Hemingway & Bertlett, silk manufacturers, she suddenly lost her memory. Before she reached home she had forgotten her own name and where she was. She now lies in a state of coma, having brief rational spells, when she recognizes friends, some of whom she will call by name. She takes little nourishment. Heinl Lemione, the Frenchman whose claims that he could manufacture diamonds, were aired in courts of Paris last summer, has been sentenced to ten years' imprisonment in default. Lemione fled just before the final hearing in the case against him, secured money from an English company and denied false pratenses by declaring that he was able to manufacture diamonds. Nearly $15,000 was realized from the musicale and fiesta held in one of New York's leading hotels for the benefit of the victims of the Italian earthquake. The affair was marked by the presence of a great many musical and theatrical stars, some of He was being tried on charges of hawpoured tea at a dollar a cup, or drew caricatures at ten dollars each. The honors of the day were divided between Paderowski and Enrico Caruso, the enor who was able to bury foliage and awarding caricatures subsequently off by Geraldine Farrar, Maxime Ellott, Emma Eames, Eleanor Robson and other artists from anywhere between ten and a hundred dollars. The Pacific mail steamer Newport, used for the first time the new Pacific entrance to the Panama canal, which has been deepened to a depth of 35 feet. Only a few persons witnessed the departure of the boat, which left the dock and steamed to the right of Naos island, ploughing the waters of the canal. As the Naos breakwater is not completed, Newport had teemed with a strong course, but she kept a straight course and, gaily decorated with hunting, she passed down the narrow way which in years to come is destined to become such a great highway of commerce. Washington. That a serious situation confronts the American legation at Peking, China, in that its supply of water may be exhausted at any time, is made known in a communication to the house from secretary of the treasury in submitting a request from the state department for an appropriation of $14,000 for the construction of a well, pump and water tower. Two shallow wells, having from three to four-feet of water, are all that the legation has to depend on, and emphasis is laid upon the danger of fire without sufficient water to extinguish it. Married women will not be eligible to examination for postal positions this spring, because of a ruling that has been made by the government. A number of postoffice employees, clerks at the stamp windows, timekeepers, etc., and postmasters themselves at the smaller offices, are women; therefore a number have been married women, but hereafter no married woman can secure postoffice positions. The position of the government is that unmarried women stand in more need of these positions than those of the postmaster of the department, the spring will be held a number of postal examinations by the civil service department, and many will be eligible to women. Hitherto they were open to all women, but hereafter they can only be taken by women lacking the support of a husband. The new ruling does not affect present employees of the postoffice, but applies only to applicants. Representative Bell has introduced in the house a bill to return to the state of Georgia the money illegally collected from cotton taxes during and just after the civil war. Georgia's part of this amount, which the supreme court has held was illegally collected, amounts to about $11,000-000. The monthly comparative statement of the government receipts and expenditures shows the total receipts for January, 1909, to have been $47,480,428 and the expenditures $63,024,260, which leaves the deficit for the month $15,543,842 and for the seven months of the present fiscal year $78,814,434. The "public debt statement shows an increase for the month, less cash in the treasury, $18,778,482." Largest Sick and Death Benefits; Smallest Premiums. L.E. WILLIAMS, President. P.

CAPTAIN TELLS OF THE WRECK Ship Sank, Under Him and He Was Rescued From the Sea—Williams, the Second Officer, With Him to the End—Fished From the Water First, He Directed the Search. For the Captain—Praise For All the Ship's Men. New York City.—Captain William Sealy, of the wrecked White Star Liner Republic, told the story of the disaster. One thing he did not tell was why he had elected to stay with his ship until it sank. Being an officer of the Royal Naval Reserve and a commander for the White Star, Captain Sealy presupposed that this act needed no explanation. searchlights on the Gresham and Seneca Sealy, of the wrecked White Star Liner Republic, told the story of the disaster. One thing he did not tell was why he had elected to stay with his ship until it sank. Being an officer of the Royal Naval Reserve and a commander for the White Star, Captain Sealy presupposed that this act needed no explanation. "Before 6 o'clock on Sunday night we knew that the 'Republic would never live to reach Martha's Vineyard,' was the way Captain Sealby began his tale: "By 7 o'clock she was way down in the stern, and wallowing with long, painful rolls, that meant there was very little more life left in her. Williams (R. J. Williams, the second officer) and I stood on the bridge and kept our eyes ahead on the lights of the Gresham and Seneca, which were towing. The ship was so low in the stern that the waves were breaking over her at that point, and the water was swashing clear up to the ladder of the saloon deck ear. "I think, it must have, been just about S' oclock when we both saw that she was going to drop under us within a very few minutes. First thing we did was to prepare a Holmes distress light, which burns when it touches water. This we left on the bridge with us so that when we went down the men on the revenue cutters could be directed to the spot where the Republic went down. While we were working over the light Williams, who has a bit of sporting blood in him, joked about our situation. "What do you make of it, Williams? I had asked him. "I don't think it will be a long race to the bottom," he laughed. "When you are ready let her go and we'll make a sprint of it." "Before we had finished with the Holmes light we began to hear a roaring and cracking of the deck seams back of us. It was the air driving the water of it of cold water. That is the last call of a sinking ship, I directed Williams to burn two blue lights, the signal to the revenue cutters that we were going down and for them to cast off. Then I let loosse five shots with my revolver. "We were going down steadily then and pretty fast. I yelled at Williams to make for the fore rigging. We both dropped down the ladder to the saloon deck, each carrying a blue light in one hand. By the time our feet touched the saloon deck it was at an angle of nearly thirty degrees, wet and slippery. We could not keep our feet, so we grabbed the rail and crawled. The water was rushing up on us from behind and the explosions and rending of the limbs from 'midships told us that already the stern was under water. "We had reached the forecastle head when Williams slipped the deck and grabbed post of the rail which he below. That was the last I saw of him until after it was over. I managed to get forward to the foremast and to climb the rigging as far as the forward running light, about 100 feet up. Below me about half of the ship was visible and she was tipped up like a rocking chair about to go over backward. "My blue light would not burn because it had become wet. I fired one more shot from my revolver, the last. Then everything dropped and I was in the water with the foremost slipping down beside me like an elevator plunger. "There was a boiling, yeasly mass of water about me and a great roaring. I went under, but came up again for the zealate had gathered under my greatcoat and buoyed me up. I guess I went around spinning for a time; then I hit a spark. From the spar I managed to get to a hatch cover. Things were flying around in the water; I came, near being badly burned up before I managed to pull my body up on the hatch cover and lie there all spread out with nothing but my head and shoulders above the waves. Emilezzzers and Defaulters. Washington, D. C. —The last haven of refuge on earth for American bank wreckers, embezzlers, defaulters and other criminals of that class was removed when the Senate ratified an extradition treaty With Honduras. It is believed that under this treaty Honduras may be persuaded to surrender many old offenders who have taken up residence there, although that country has found them desirable because they always had ready cash. searchlights on the Gresham and Seneca trying to pick me up, but they went around and around and missed me. I managed to load my revolver again and it went off, although it had had a ducking. Soon after that a boat manned by four of the Republic's crew and four sailors from the Gresham commanded by Gunner's Mate Johnson sld up near me. I waved a towel I had picked up out of the water. They saw me and came and picked me up. I was weak and cold—quite finished. Williams was in the boat when it picked me up. I was gled to see. He was quite done up, too. We were quite back on our feet again after the men on the Gresham had ministered to us. I cannot speak too highly of the work of the revenue cutterg that were trying to tow us: it was magnificent." Captain Sealby had a word to say about his officers and crew. "I have nothing but praise for the actions of the officers and crew of the Republic both at the time of the collision and subsequently during the very trying task of getting the passengers transferred to the Florida. The success of this maneuver will be a test of discipline and cohesion between officers and crew. The passengers themselves added greatly by their conduct. There was absolutely no panic among them and the women behaved splendidly." The Republic's commander also paid a generous compliment to Blinn, the wireless operator, who had stuck to his key although part of the wireless cabin on the boat deck had been carried away by the Florida's prow. Second Officer Williams told of his experiences after he had become separated from his superior on the slanting deck of the Republic. He said: "When I fell down on the saloon deck on the port side I hung onto the rail with my elbow. In three minutes it was all over. I felt her lift straight up in the air and saw the prow right over my head; then she just slid down. I felt the stern strike bottom, for there was a jar and then I felt something give. I believe she broke in the middle where she had been rammed by the port side. I was picked up the deck before the locker he dropped out of sight. I just caught a glimpse of the keel dropping past me as I hilt the water. I tread water for a second to get my balance, then I struck-out for about a dozen strokes before the boil of the water got me. "A grating hatch hit me and I held on. I couldn't climb onto it because the seas rolled me off every time I scrambled up. I was getting tired of trying when another grating came along. I grabbed it with one hand and held on between them. I guess I was in the water almost half an hour when the boat from the Gresham came along and pulled me out. I directed the men where to look for the captain and we found him in another five minutes." Williams saved a brier pipe and a pocketpiece out of the wreck and that was all. Jack Blins, the wireless operator who reached the news of the Republic's ramming to Slasconet wireless station and who subsequently kept at his place communicating with the ships hastening in relief, seemed to believe that the loss of 500 cigarettes he had with him when the Republic left New York on Friday was one of the most serious features of the wreck. "Part of the wireless, cabin was form away in the crash," said Binns, "but the instruments were not hurt. As soon as the captain heard what the damage was he sent me order to send out the distress signal. I found that the instrument was dead. The electric motors had gone bad with the flooding of the engine room. I know, where the accumulators' storage batteries' you call. That that are carried for emergencies just such as that one were kept, and I groped for them in the dark. When I got them coupled up I tried the key and found that the snail was right." Virginia Railroads Lose Two-Cent Case Against Richmond, Va. - The right of appeal to the State Supreme Court of Appeals in the two-cent rate case was refused to the railroads. The roads now have two courses open to them. They can either go into the United States. Circuit Court of Appeals and have the case heard at length, or they can go to the Corporation Commission and make application for a revision of the rates on the ground that the roads are losing money. Meantime the two-cent rate prevails. From a Parson IF THE ESSENCE of fun is to see the humor. In common things, these stories may, per haps, pass muster. They might pass muster also for another reason, and that is, they are all true, having either occurred in the experience of the writer or else in that of his intimate friends: SHE WAS quite an old lady, and the pastor and his young, wife-were the objects of her solicitude. She knew that the salary was very small, and she was afraid that they did not get enough to eat. So one day she appeared at the thy*parsomag* with a large piece of many-hued pork: in her arms. "Here," she said, "I've brought you a piece of pork. I've had it in pickle five years; I can't eat it, and my son, he won't eat it, and so I thought I'd give it to the minister." THE PASTOR and his wife had gone out to dinner at a large farmhouse, taking with them their little boy of two years of age. The dinner passed off well, till the dessert was served, when a piece of cocoanut_pie was placed before the child. He proceeded to taste it, but evidently it was not to his liking, for, removing the cocoanut shreds, he passed them to his mother with the simple explanation, "Dirt." Happening, however, to look up just then, he caught the eye of the hostess and instantly remarked, "Nice ple, lady, nice ple." It was a fruitful cause of discussion on the way home as to which side of the house such duplicity originated on. HE WAS an Englishman, a lay preacher, and had been preaching with great enthusiasm for some considerable time. Just as he reached the elimax of his appeal, a baby in the audience began to cry with such a loud and insistent wall that it was quite impossible to hear what the preacher was saying. The reverend gentleman stopped for a moment or two, till the baby ceased his crying, and then exclaimed, with a highly resigned air, "The devil 'ad a 'and hin that." IT WAS a country Sunday-school, and the old, gray-haired teacher was doing his best to help his stumbling boys over the difficulties of pronouncing Hebrew names. They were too much, however, for his class, and one of the boys began slowly to spell the intricate wordS-e-n-h-a-c-h-e-r-i-b. "Don't you know what that is?" said his teacher; "that's snatch-crab." In a country where crash-apples were plentiful, this seemed to be a very natural explanation to the boy. On another occasion the word was Melchizedek. Again the lad attempted to spell it, but was impatiently interrupted by his teacher. "That's milk-easy-Dick; I should think you'd know that." FARMER SO-AND-SO had a call for sale, but the prospective purchaser was not very favorably impressed with it. "It's so thin and sickly-looking," he objected, "that I believe it would die on my hands," "Well, it does look poor and sickly," agreed the farmer, "but it's cheerful; it's the most cheerful call I ever knew." For years afterward that farmer went by the nickname of "The Cheerful Call." THE PREACHER had a reputation for eccentricity, which was certainly borne out by one of the petitions of his opening prayer: "We beseech Thee, O Lord, to bless those who suffer from indigestion; and to especially bless those who have nothing to digest." IT WAS a warm summer day, the preacher was old and soothing, and the young man had worked hard in the fields all the week. These conditions formed a combination which might perhaps excuse him for the intermittent naps which he took during the service. But why; under the circumstances, he should have chosen to go up and tell the preacher that he had very much enjoyed his sermon, we cannot say. The old minister, however, was not as old as he looked, and as the young man proceeded with his expressions of appreciation of the discourse, he said, with a quiet twinkle in his eye. "Yes, I saw you nodding approval of it." WILBUR JACKSON was a. very profane man, and upon the slightest provocation would let loose a torrent of blasphemy. He was also an excellent fisherman, would rather than eat, any day. And it was because the new preacher was an intrustial fisherman that the two struck up an oddly-assorted friendship. Upon a certain day they agreed, to go fishing together; but when, Jackson's wife heard of it, knowing his propensity, she was filled with consternation, and gave him many urgent cautions. "Now mind," said she, "you watch yourself, and don't sweat before the preacher, and you'll need to be awful careful, too, for you know you swear so easy." He faithfully promised that he would be careful, and started for the meeting place. Not long after their boat was anchored in a good position in the river, and the preacher and Wilbur were engaged in their favorite sport. All at once Jackson realized by the strength of the pull on his line that he had made a good catch. Never was a fish played more scientifically than that fish, but just as he pulled him near enough to the boat to see that he had fine fish on his hook, his line broke and the fish escaped. Jackson opened his mouth to gush of profanity, that would have turned, the air blue, but less than his eye lit on the preacher, and the repeated light on his mind. He stopped, suddenly, gave a great gasp, bestowed a baleful glare upon the preacher and exclaimed, "Well! something ought to be said." HE, WAS a converted bricklayer, and felt that he had a call to preach. So insistent was he that the church authorities finally assigned him an evening service in a small hamlet. His text was the familiar one. Come thou, and all thy family, into the ark. His treatment of the howevener was not familiar; it was strikingly original. In describing the entrance of the animals, etc., into the ark, he said, "God sent, two, of every kind of insect into the ark, the great hip-notamus and the ante." His description of the attempt of the people to get into the ark after the doors were shut was highly asthetic. "Last o'clock," he declared, "came the foreman, and pleaded with Noah to open the door." You ought, to let me in," Noah;" he said; "I was here every morning at 6 o'clock, and I saw to it that the men did a good job for you." But, said the preacher, dropping his voice to an awe-strenken whisper. "Noah wouldn't even let the foreman in." THERE WERE three young ministers in the little village, and they all considered, it one of the parish duties, to see that the young, lady teacher should be escorted to all of the socialities, Ladies-Aids, etc. They even took themselves to task for never having visited the school during the reign of the village spinster, Miss Slimkins, to try and drop a few good seeds, into the fertile, soil of the young minds in her charge. But this woeful neglect was all remedied after the advent of Miss Pretty, and the schoolhouse Was now always included in the patrical visits. Upon one memorable afternoon the teacher called the class in the Third Reader to the front to read the selection upon charity, taken from the revised version of the New Testament. All went well until they came to the passage, "Though I know all mysteries and have not love, it profiteth me nothing," when, to the horror of the teacher, a girl with a stolid countenance arose and drawled out: "Though I know all ministers and have not love, it profiteth me nothing." In the shout and confusion which followed, the minister beat a hasty retreat. PAT WAS told that his friend and neighbor, Cassidy, was not to be married, and this, just two weeks after the burial of his second wife. Pat received the news with a scornful laugh. "Yes, an' it's a fine friend o' mine is he," came his reply. "Why, already he's cost me two weddthr presents and two wreaths, and here he is at the game again." ALGY, THE FAITHFUL, had been shown into the parlor, and sat, resplendent with new cavat and gorgeously checked, socks, near the door awaiting the coming of his divinity. Presently Clarence, her small brother, appeared in the doorway. "Hello!" he greeted Algy. Then: "Say, father's going to propose you at his club." "Oh, he is? That's Jolly good of him, you know," returned Algy, tattered. "Yes," continued the small boy serenely; "he said it will be a nice place for you to spend your evenings." A CERTAIN GENTLEMAN had a habit of forgetting, to return borrowed books, and had frequently to be reminded to do so by his wife. One day his little girl noticed a Bible on the sitting room table, but, not knowing it was a Bible, said to her mother: "Mamma, whose book is that?" The mother, wishing to impress her child with a feeling of reverence for the Book, said: "It is God's book, dear." "Welt, isn't it time it was sent homo?" was the unexpected answer. LITTLE FLOSSIE, had been, much impressed by the goodness of the minister who lived next door, but much troubled over the sheabbling, clothing he, wore, but one day after, spending, much time in seclusion, thought she announced, triumphantly. "Well, I know one thing for sure, Brother Brown is so awful, good he'll have plenty of trouser laid, up in Heaven." — Ladies World. Highest Family in Europe. It is not generally known that the imperial family of Russia is the richest royal family in Europe, and derives its vast wealth from three sources—the State treasury, the imperial domain (formerly church lands) and the "old called" "cabinet properies." X. Writer in Harper's Weekly, gives some interesting facts. The State treasury pays, out $7,000,000-per annum, for the needs of the imperial house, principally for the maintenance of the palaces and the officials' and servants' attached to them. The reigning Empress; tot example, has an allowance of $100,000 per year, and the Dowager Empress the same. Every child born to the Czar receives from birth to the age of twenty-one nearly, $20,000 a year, while the heir to the throne receives, annually, in addition to the maintenance of palaces, $70,000. Daughters receive a dowry of 1,000,000 rubles when they marry. Henpex—"Say; Mara, is there a foot-tale anywhere about the house?

Sublime Porte. The term "sublime Porte," which has stood, so long for the centre of the ruling power, in Turkey, is merely the French translation of "Babi Aall," or "superior door," and is the name of the building containing the offices where the council of the inhabitants holds its meetings under the presidency of the grand wizzer. Every government building in Turkey, is known as a "door," because it is supposed to be always open to those speaking justice.—London Chronicle. Rather, Tactless. It's a perfectly stunning picture. To Stop Hiecoughs, am 3d Dr. Louis 'koulpinski' reports: the artist of persistent hic cough by deform pressing the tongue.

(1) Medicinal Henting Lamp, white electricity now plays its imprint, part in the practice of medicine, one of its most useful applications, being the concentration, of powerful heat and light, rays upon the affected part. A new heating device, of this nature has been patented by an Iowa man, views of which are shown in the accompanying illustration. The heater consists of a nemispy rical reflector containing an electric incandescent lamp, the edges of the reflector, being covered by a soft pad which protects the body from the hot metal shelf the lamp being protected by a wired mesh. In the application of the heater the reflector should be pressed over the part where local application of heat is desired. As no heat can escape, the interior of the reflector soon becomes as hot as can comfortably be borne. The apparatus is always ready for instant application, being much superior to a hot water bottle, as it never leaks Washington Star. Swiss Republic.

It is indeed wonderful how the solid democratic South is dictating to a Republican administration as to who should be appointed to the several offices. These dictators should enter the fold in order to be effective in their contention. In Pittsburg, Pa., the police are making raids on the loafing set of our race on account of the alleged assaults on white women. We have no sympathy whatever for this loafing class. An effort should be made in every community to put them to work. They are the mischief makers of the race and no law abiding colored man will stand sponsor for them. NEXT Friday will be the centenary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, the liberator of Negro slaves in this country. It will be celebrated in a becoming way in every community all over this country. There will be several gatherings in this city, in honor of the occasion. All of our people in some way should honor the day in behalf of our great liberator. ALL of the loyal communicants and friends of the A. M. E. Church deplore the newspaper tirade about the officers of that church in this State. The charges of Editor Harmon of the Citizen against Bishop Smith will fall upon deaf cars, and will only give food to the enemies of the race. If Editor Harmon has a grievance he should fight it out within the councils of the church and not in the columns of the newspapers. The friends of Bishop Smith are more loyal to him now than ever. They are still fighting the confirmation of Dr. Crum who was recently reappointed by the President as, Collector of Customs of Charleston. The fight will prove futile because the doctor will be confirmed. A Democrat of that State asserts that the confirmation will cause race friction and others says that it will increase the social equality idea among our people. Our white friends should be above such demagogic assertions. Dr. Crum has held this position for a number of years, and racial feeling in that community and State is more amicable than ever, and it can be truthfully asserted that our people has none of the social equality fever. Sayannah in the inaugural Parade. The afternoon paper on Wednesday states that the color line may be drawn in the selection of aides in the inaugural parade in Washington on March 4th.

The third annual session of the State Council of Colored Churchmen was held commencing on Wednesday, at St. Augustine Mission.

The Dispatch regret to chronicle the news of the death of a good and highly respected citizen. highly respected citizen. Mr. William Mitchell, widely known in society and church life, died early Monday night. Mr. Mitchell was one of the best beloved and highly respected citizens in this city. He numbered his friends by the thousands. To know him was to love him. He had been hungering for some time, and up until a few days ago it was hoped that he would recover, but a few days ago he took a turn for the worse, and continued to loss ground until his death. His funeral took place Wednesday afternoon at the Stewart A. M. E Church of which he was a member. Dr. W. A. Fountain officiated. He preached a most touching sermon from the text: "A great man has fallen in Israel." He stressed the fact that Mr. Mitchell was a good society man, which was evidenced by the fact that such a large number of Odd Fellows and Households of Ruth turned out. That he was a good father, that he had quite a number of children and had succeeded in giving all the grown ones most excellent educational advantages, and those who were not grown were well educated. He was also a good husband, as evidenced by his deyotion to his wife; that he was a good citizen. Everybody was interested and anxious for his recovery; that he was a good Christian faithful to his God and faithful to his church, that he paid his yows unto the Lord. He was good as well as great, and that when he was asked by his son-in-law, Dr. W. O. Emery, as to his spiritual condition, he said: "That's all right; I have attended to that long ago." In conclusion Dr. Fountain said: "Like Paul of old, I have sought a good fight, and have kept the faith." The funeral was one of the largest that has ever taken place in that church. The church was filled to overflowing both on the first floor and the gallery; there were hardly standing room. There was a long line of carriages such as is very seldom seen which followed his remains to Lyunwood cemetery, where he was entered. The Dispatch extend to the breaved family its profoundest sympathy in their hour of great grief.—Macon Dispatch. Lincoln Centenary First Congregational Church.

After the blessing the Bishop saag Pontifical High Mass, availed by the Priests of the Cathedral and St. Benedict's church. The chapel and the altar were tastefully decorated and look most beautiful with every kind of electric light. The children of St. Francis Home sang Heckle's beautiful mass and rendered the imposing Liturgical chant with charming sweetness and inspiring devotion. All those present admired the singing, and the Bishop most cordially congratulated them after the ceremonies. It is certainly a credit for those colored children to sieg this difficult church music with such perfection. There were present at the function many friends and benefactors of the Convent and of the Home and also a delegation of St. Benedict's Congregation. It was certainly a beautiful and candlelight day for the Sisters and for the children. The great and inspiring caremones made especially a deep impression on the children, and they will remember them a long time. The Bishop kindly received the larger girls and gave them his pastoral ring to kiss—a privilege most appreciated by these colored children. felt that the Catholic Bishop is their gift and also so, and that the Catholic Church knew to "color line." In the afternoon at 4 o'clock Bishop Kiley came back to the Convent to give solemn benediction of the blessed sacrament. The children once more rendered the singing with a delightful success. After the public function the good Sisters returned to their humble life of solitude and charity; and quietly and unastonentially they will continue their work of devotedness to the Homes of the poor.

The Martins father and son, were in partnership with Mr. Martin, a visionary person with no practical experience, mismanaged the Shingleton end of the business where noisy sawmills cut mighty northern Michigan logs into lumber. Robert ran the office in Bayport, the nearest shipping point. Owing to a curious lack of judgment, both men approved round pegs in square holes. When the once considerable Martin property had dwindled to two little mills, hopelessly remote from available timber, and a few acres of stumpage that nobody wanted for farming purposes, Mr. Martin died. Before this the older Martins had lived in Shingleton. Robert and his young wife had dwelt in Bayport, twenty miles distant. Now Robert sold all that was portable of the Shingleton property, and, with many misgivings, decided to move his mother to Bayport. "You'll never agree in the wide world," said Robert, divulging his plan to his wife. "Both you and mother are first-class of your kind; but you're not the same kind." "I'm not perfect," said Petrinia, modestly. "And you know, Bob, I've always prided myself on my adaptability. If you'll just keep me hoistered with timely bits of information, I'll have things just the way your mother liked them. I'm going to pose as a model daughter-in-law." "Wouldn't be safer and a whole lot easier to be just yourself? I'm sorry that the business—" "Cheer up, deary; things might be worse, and so far your mother and I have agreed beautifully." "At a distance," demurred Robert. "You've never lived together. But until I've discovered exactly how poor we are, one roof is all we can afford." "I'll make it big enough," assured Petrina, comfortingly. Mrs. Martini, senior, was squarely and solidly built. She made a one think of a substantial business block constructed for utility only. She swept on Friday, baked beans on Thursday, washed on Monday, wound her clock at six every Saturday-night, and bought six new pillow-cases every January. Mrs. Martin, junior, sent her washing out, swept only when the house demanded sweeping, and its irregular intervals bought beans ready baked from a woman's exchange. Ask Petrina made Robert comfortable, her household expenses "were not excessive, and, moreover, she trimmed her own hats and made her own shirt-waists. Petrina, knew that Mrs. Martin had baked bread every Wednesday and Saturday for thirty years—and had grown gray, worrying over, what to do with the surplus. Petrina had purchased a loaf at a time, as she needed it, from a breadmaking neighbor. Instead of confessing, however, that her bread was acquired in this easy manner, young Mrs. Martin, feeling certain that the knowledge would shock Robert's mother, follished attempted to conceal it. She colored guiltily when the older woman praised the loaf; yet, having fallen at the proper moment to disclose the truth, Petrina told obliged thereafter to smuggle bread in at the back door. As the week wore on, the "culprit realized that it would never do to serve a perfectly fresh loaf every second day, since that would certainly rouse suspicion; so she purchased stale loaves and ate them unhappily. When they were good only for toast, she was moved to further effort. "Robert," she confided one morning. "I'm afraid I'll have to live up to my reputation for breadmaking. But I couldn't attempt to set bread with your mother looking on. Couldn't you take her sightseeing for a few hours? If the coast were clear until I'clock, the worst of the agony would be over. I'll use compressed yeast—they say that rises quickly. But I never could handle sticky things gracefully, she'd detest my inexperience at once." "Why not get mother to show you how?" "And let her discover that I married her son without knowing how to make bread? I wish to keep her admiration and respect. Take her to the Indian Museum by the Elmwood trolley in the high west. Please help me out, Bob." So Robert yielded. Tha'cestplear, Petrina set her bread. Now bread dough, as everybody knows, is the most unrustworthy stuff in the culinary kingdom. Occasionally an experienced cook encounters a batch of dough that seems unassessed to go wrong. At other times dough that seems its early stages unpromising develops unexpectedly into good bread. Petrina's dough misbehared from the very outset to the bitter end. The flour refused to "associate" with the water, the little gray-green puddles of yeast declined also to mix, the shortening floated loftily in exclusive islands. "It's either too wet or too dry," sald Petrina, doubting doubtfully into the pan. "Yet three quarts of water ought surely to be enough. I think I'll try the egg-beater. Ugh! What butter putter?" Although I trims likewise tret the toasting-fork, the potato-masher and various other stirring implements, the mixture still refused to mix. Perhaps, it'll run together, as it "breasted" tritina, washing the discarded utensils. "But I wish to goodness I hadn't pretended to be a breadmaker wach I'm not. Think of doing all this twice a week. An hour later the doubtful cook added flour and a pair of reluctant hands to the stills, exceedingly sticky batter. "I'm a web-footed duck!" groaned Petarina, eyeing her fettered fingers with resignance. "I need somebody to keep me scraped out." Merry! I'll be a year before this mess is ready to knead. And the cook-book's gone snout. And how can I get more flour with these hands?" In time, however, the sticky mess grew smoother and firmer, until at last the huge cold ball looked and felt like real dough. Petrina wrapped the dried batter from her coated fingers and looked at the clock. It was later than she had supposed. "But," said she, complacently, "the worst is over. I'll get all this flour cleaned up, and nobody ever guess what a siege I've been through. I'll have that bread in the oven by 1 o'clock." But Petrina reckoned without her dough. The yeast, chilled by the long mixing, had perhaps become discouraged. At the end of an hour the leaden mass showed no sign of rising. At half past 12 the telephone rang: "Hello!" sounded Robert's warning voice. "If you've any evidences of guilt to conceal you'd better be about it. Mother's had enough of sightseeing, and is on her way home." Anything to conceal! That hideous mound of-leaden dough-surely no mother-in-law could be permitted to behold a failure like that! But where, in that tiny, one-storied cottage, could one conceal a crime of such magnitude? "Perhaps, though Petrina, "that dough might be squeezed into something smaller." "She seized the shining water path, and poked and punched the enormous cold lump into it. Buy where should she hide the path? Apparently the house afforded no concealment for large tn pails of dough. She was about to move the heavy davenport in the living room, in order to make space behind it for the pail, when Mrs. Martin became visible from the window. Darting impetuously into the guest room, Petrina hastily lifted the lid of her mother-in-law's trunk, which she knew to be empty, dropped the pail inside, and thought she closed the lid. Unfortunately, she did not know that the lid had a trick of sticking. QI, dressed with all that abrupt on her conscience, Petrina was not entirely care-free that afternoon; but now, at least, she possessed a definite plan. The ash barrel, unfortunately, discovered overnowing her moments of need, should be emptied the next day. Robert should once more spirit the guest away, and Petrina would remove the dough to the barrel, cover it neatly with ashes, and run to the exchange for a ready-made batch of bread. It seemed a good plan, but it was never carried out. While dressing for 'dinner that evening, Mrs. Martin noticed that the trunk lid was 'ajar', and by the same token knew at once that some one had had it open. She had an immediate and alarming vision of thieves in the house—quickly modified to her intense bewilderment when, seeing something white through the open crack, she realized that whoever had tampered with her trunk had put something into it! In the next second she guessed what had happened. The thieves, interrupted, had thrust their booty hastily into the trunk! Summoning all her courage, Mrs. Martin raised the lid and looked in. Now it happened that the trunk, with the pall resting in the deep, open tray, stood within two inches of an active hot air register; and bread dough, as everybody knows, is contrary, untrustworthy stuff. Having refused to rise at the proper time, now, when nobody wanted it to rise, it was making up for its earlier deficiency. Swollen to four times its original bulk, the clean, vigorous dough filled the tray with rounded, puffy billows. The trunk seemed literally filled with it. "Petrina!" called the "bewildered lady. "Robert! Come here! What on earth is this?" "It's—it's bread!" stammered Petrina, guiltily. "I spoiled it, and hid it." "Spilled, it!" exclaimed Mrs. Martin. "Why, it!" just right to go on the pans. Hurt, my dear child, there must be enough, here for, ten loaves. Do you always make so much? And why, did you put it here? Of course, since there was nothing else to do, I didn't think what story. "Dear, dear!" laughed Mrs Martin. "And I thought Thieves had been here. Don't get me like that again. There is, that women's exchange place, with everything so good and so reasonable. Why in the world do you bother to take when you live almost next door to a trifasure like that? I'd have suggested, it long, ago but for fear, you think I was criticising. Bless you, child, if I were as smart with a needle as you are, I'd buy all my bread too." "This is the last time" declared Petrina, soooing "affirms" that dough into the bread-pan, "that I'll ever pretend to be more of anything than I am."—Youth's Companion. OLD FASHIONED SHOOTING. The Record of Lord Malmesbury and St Mary Field Girls The second Lord Malmesbury he sided being one of the best shots of his day was without question the most palestaking and fairest chronicle or his sport who ever fired a gun. For forty seasons, ending with the year 1840, he kept a record of every cartridge he fired and the result of the shot—a feat which may have been a parallel but is hardly likely to be beaten. He fired in all 54,387 shots and accounted for 38,454 head of game with them, besides some four hundred and eighty which he did not add to his figures; they were the birds he killed when he hit more than one with the same shot. As for walking, there never was such an untiring pursuer of every bird and beast that could be entered in a game book. He calculated that he was out for four hours a day for ninety days in the year, which made 14,480 hours walking in forty years; and since he walked at the rate of two and a half miles an hour he remarks that in all he must have covered 36,200 miles, "very nearly, once and a half the circumference of the globe." He was never killed for a day, and not thirty days confined to the house by accident or illness—though to be sure his violent exercise affected his heart and he died at 64. The lists of his hits and misses are particularly interesting : when you compare his records of shots at bird like snipe and woodcock, which were as difficult to hit in his day as they are in ours, with the kind of figures which would be likely or possible with modern guns. In the season 1319-20, for instance, Lord Malmesbury fired eighty-three shots at woodcock and bagged forty-five, and out of four hundred and eleven shots at snipe he actually got two hundred and sixteen, which is somewhat better than one out of two. Any snipe shot today would be pleased with a record of three out of five, taking the wilder, twister snipe of late autumn and winter, with the hometied snipe killed in August and September. You read these records, and those of men like John Mirtton, who would make a point of invariably killing fifty brace of partridges to his own gun on the first day of the season, and wonder how with their shot firing guns and their bad shot patterns that managed to kill even bird in form. "A gun-hoper shoots twice allike," Colonel Hawker wrote, and he shot with the best guns he could buy. How did they manage it? Somehow, with guns which their great-grandchildren would not burden a keeper with they did contribute to shoot as well as we do, and somehow the pictures made of them while they were shooting give you the idea that they enjoyed the shooting more.

DIDN'T KNOW Coffee Was the Cause. Many daily habits, particularly of eating and drinking, are formed by following our elders. In this way ill health is often fastened upon children. A Ga lady says: "I had been allowed to drink coffee ever since I can remember, but even as a child I had a weak stomach which frequently refused to retain food. "The taste of coffee was in my mouth all the time and wag, as I found out later, the cause of the stomach rebelling against food.

Every and the short letter. A new one appears from time to time. They are fresh, tense and full of human interest. Good Rows Three years ago an "object lesson" road was constructed, near Lansing, Mich. under the supervision of Commissary, Earle, at a cost of about $4000, a mile. It is reported that the road must now be improved at an estimated expense of $1000 per mile, and sons of the people in that locality are complaining about the good roads movement is being too costly. A certain "prominent gentlemans" is reported to have said, rebelliously, "I do not believe that if the first cost is going to be $4000 per mile, and that at the end of three years it will require another, $4000 per mile, for repairs, that the average property owner and farmer will stand for the big addition to their taxes." big addition to their taxes. If State Highway Commissioner Earle built an "object lesson" Road at Lansing, or anywhere else, it is perfectly safe to presume that that road was constructed in the best possible manner for the amount of money expended—that is Mr. Earle's record in office and reputation with the people of his State. The statement quoted above suggests, however, the peculiar view that people in many places take of an improved road. They seem to regard it as "permanent." The, wise farmer "turns under" clover and uses fertilizers on his soil; he paints his house and barns every few years; he keeps his horses properly shod, and occupies his time on rainy days in repairing his machines and wagons. The only thing that he seems to think will never wear, out or need repair is an improved road, when as a fact, there are few structures which demand more constant attention. Good Roads Magazine. For Better Roads Many Americans who live in or near large cities, would be surprised to hear it stated that the United States has the poorest roads of any civilized country in the world. Nevertheless, the statement is declared by all who have had opportunity to learn by experience to be unquestionably true, when the roads on the whole country are considered. Later there has been much criticism of the automobile as being destructive of good roads. The damage is so great that in France the Government has been forced to take up the matter, and is even now studying preventing plans. In the United States, however, it may be that the automobile will be more a powerful influence in national roads. The American Automobile Association has recently held a two days' good roads convention in Munich, at which provision was made for practical demonstrations of the best methods of road building and repairing, and for experiments looking toward the discovery of a binding material for surfacing roads which will not be sucked out by the pneumatic tires. There are signs, too, says Youth's Companion, that the old policy of throwing upon the towns the burden of building the roads and keeping them in repair is to be superseded by the more sensible plan of having the State do it. The towns, will, of course, care for their own streets, but the main highways should be built and cared for by the State, as they are in France, Germany and Switzerland. The National Government has decided to send the director of the Department of Roads to the International good roads convention, which will open in France in October, and at which the problem of the automobile and the roads will receive especial attention. Roadless America in Transformation. From the *muledictions* scattered broadcast in the mire of roadless America by despairing bicyclists fifteen years ago hopes of better things have taken root. So writes G. F. Carter, in the Technical World Magazine. No gift of prophecy is now required to foresee a time when these hopes will have so far materialized that a team, if it is a good one, will be able to haul an empty wagon over the gumbo roads of the Mississippi Valley in the spring, and the public highways of the South, will be so well buoyed that light draft automobiles may navigate them in comparative safety. From every part of the country comes the same enduring news. Sixteen States now have highway commissions that are trying in various ways to supply the greatest need of the Nation, which is good roads. At one extreme is New York, which in 1905 hotels to expend $40,000,000 in building roads. Under the plan adopted the State with built and maintain 3332 miles, connecting the principal cities, and nax one half the cost of 4700 miles of local roads to be built by the counties. At the other extremes Iowa, the third State in the Union incident of road mileage, where the use of the public highways is so vast that if teams enough could be assembled to do in one day all the traveling done in the State in a year the time would reach, and a thalic spring the earth, which does out an annual propitation of $5000 to defray the expenses of the State College, faculty white acting in the capacity of highway commission.

There are no fewer than two million cave dyellers in France," writes a traveller, "Whether you travel north, south, each or west, you will find these curious imitations of the homes of primitive men. They stretch for fully seventy miles along the valley of the Lore, from Blois to Sainmur, and as the trai proceeds you can catch a glimpse from time to time of their picturesque entrances, surrounded by flowers and verdure. As likely as not you will see the inhabitants standing or sitting in front of their mysterious looking caverns, and unless you have learned the contrary, you will be inclined to imagine that they possess some of the characteristics of the troglodytes of old, and then their homes are mere dens. Not so, as you will find on visiting them. They are nearly all well-to-do peasants, owners perhaps of some of the vineyards that deck the slopes on all sides, and their habitations are, as a rule, both healthy and comfortably furnished. These singular houses are remarkably cool in summer, without being in the least damp, while in winter they can be warmed much more easily and better than ordinary apartments. The health of the modern troglodyte is, as a rule, excellent, and it is not uncommon to find centenarians among them. This, however, is by no means surprising when we consider that their homes are not only healthful to live in, but are also comfortably furnished and fitted up. "In the majority of cases these rock houses were not excavated for the special purpose of being inhabited, but with the object of attaining stone for the building of houses. At Rochecarbon there is a rock dwellings carved out of a single block of stone, and the ingenious owner in addition to making a two story villa therefrom has provided himself with a roof garden, from which a fine view of the valley can be obtained.

Why not GH144 THE PULPIT. Theme: A Sermon to Churchmen. Brooklyn, N. Y.—The third annual union service of the Men's Parish Clubs of the P. E. Church in Brooklyn was held Sunday in St. Ann's Church. The Rev. J. Lewis Parks, D. D., of Calvary P. E. Church, Manhattan, preached the sermon. His text was the vision of the prophet Ezekiel and his discourse was an earnest exhortation to the men of the church to stand fast by the faith as it is in Jesus, and to Scripture study. It received close attention from the congregation. Dr. Parks said: In captivity Ezekiel leans the glorious God, the Almighty, in the likeness of man, seated upon His throne, borne upon His charlot. Strange living creatures sustain it at each corner. Four faces there are: The face of a man, the face of a lion, the face of an eagle and the face of an ox. And we are warned that the human element is the one upon which we should fix our attention, for the symbol is of the ideal man, with all his rich variety of gifts: Courage and force, like the king of beasts; patient in toll, like the ox; the eagle's eye, to pierce into the hidden things of nature and scan the mysteries of God. This kind of man, with his reason and his conscience and his heart, this ideal man, is the representative of all humanity in all his generations; and his business is to serve the Lord God. Almighty and to show forth His glory. Enas as the beasts in the Revelation of St. John have their place in heaven these have their on earth, and the wheel with its wheels, wheels in the middle of wheels, so that they go whithersoever they will without turning, and they go and turn as the flame of lightning, and the sword of the living God is in the wheels. And all this represents our humanity as organized. It has a vital organism. It has a vital mechanism—men bound together for the service of God. The Spirit moves the wheels and moves the whole charlot; moves the entire humanity. In very truth the Holy Ghost is imminent in man. In very deed the body of Christ is the temple of the Spirit of God in every age just as the needs of the time demand. He blows, as it were, the breath of man upon the hearts and minds of men, quickening, reviving, energizing; throwing them collectively and unitedly into the work of the day. It is one of the most patent and one of the most consolatory of historical phenomena, and you aro in the midst of one such great revival of the Spirit now. Not that I forget the wickedness of the world. That is the very reason that I perceive the hour of God; the Holy Ghost fighting against anti-Christ; and the spiritual revival shows itself in some very visible, unmistakable signs. First; there is the marvelous revival of the missionary spirit to carry the Gospel to the four quarters of the globe. Then there is the yearning for the unity of Christendom. Then there is the calling of the multitude of workers into the field, not clerical, alas, but axi. Not women only; but the man. God has made man somewhat see that he must serve and work for God, and finally, more strange still to anyone else was pondered human nature, there has taken possession of our time a passionate desire to serve mantind, to better human life, to make happier human conditions, to plead for justice as between man and man, to teach mercy and rejoice against judgment, that the intolerable and individual and unseen suffering of the day might little by little be done away. But, alas, my brethren, strangely error and disruption balk the steps of man. Every light has its shadow; every virtue its corresponding vice; every movement of the Spirit tempts men to pervert and misunderstand His works; and I think most of you will bear me out when I say that the very spiritual movements of the day in each and all of the tendencies which I have pointed out tempt the present age to deny the faith and to belittle the body of Christ. It is easy to see how it should be so. Here are men worried with sectarian theologies, worn out spiritually but alive still. Men forget, in their impatience and desire for unity, that all these creeds, as we call them (and falsely called), are merely ephemeral efforts to express the fundamental truth of Jesus, and, putting aside these true信 expressions, they forget the truth it is in Jesus. And men, consumed as men are to-day to work for their brothers, are ready to say that social service is the gospel, that it is not only the fruit-of the gospel but exclusively the whole of it, declaring that the Spirit of Christ is social service; that no man that hath this spirit is a Christian, let him call himself Jow or Annostic or Mohammedan or Buddhist, it matters not, he is a Christian. Is it easy to see how such a condition of things may presently lead to the perversion of conduct? And men in their zeal for men, and desire to co-operate with all good men for all good things, may come to think of little importance the body of Christ. And yet not possibly could the social aim of the day be more injured and jeopardized than by anything that should forget the faith or weaken the Church of God. I will not say that modern civilization is the product only of Christianity; I will not say there are not other factors that have made for the present state; but I am bold to maintain that modern civilization never could have come to pass without the faith of the Church of Jesus Christ. Look at it. Did not the great doctrine of the incarnation bring into the world personality, fraternity, equality, charity? Is it not the doctrine of democracy? The Lord took human nature, not of any class, not of any race. In Him there is neither Jew nor Greek, barbarian, bond or free; but Christ is all and in all. How naturally slave and master went to the altar side by side! How naturally, since the days of Philemon, the Christian spirit set itself to break down slavery! How naturally woman was elevated and honored for blessed Mary's sake! A wise man of the East says that, according to the status of the women of a nation, so is its civilization; that the reason that Mohammedanism, the most progressive effort of the human race, came to naught, is the harem. Naturally Christianity made the hospital the normal appendage of every civic state. It sought to break down the terrors of privilege before the law until it worked out in civic liberty and democracy. Naturally, too, because of the infinite pity of Jesus Christ men are pitiful and loving today toward their brethren. And mark you, only in Christian lands has this thing come to pass. There have been great civilizations of old, in Nevehe and Babylon and Rome and Greece. Sennacherib was no puny yet, so gentle. Rome governed and administered the land, but the care of man for man, and self-sacrifice for a brother were never taught as the duty of man until Jesus came. I believe these things concern the men of the church. I have ventured, with some boldness no doubt, to invite the attention of an assembly of lay churchmen, to what I believe to be a most serious danger. Never, helene me, will the selfishness of men be moved to altruism, and what, the Gospel calls the love of our brother, if you break down the church that carries the Gospel, the teaching of God's love to man; and your duty in this regard is very simple. But if you will perform it, it is potent for good. You have church clubs. You have been organized for some special service or other, but you are a church organization. Never forget that nothing that you can do in this world that enfeebles the Church of God, or obscures the truth of the Gospel, will count for man for long, nor between you and God for much. Your duty is to maintain the Church of Christ, to reverently to feed upon the Word of Life, and never to forsake the assembling of yourselves together, as the manner of many is. As for your duty toward the State, it is equally simple and briefly to be stated: "If any man will do My will, he shall know," and if any man will seek to know God's will, he will be sufficiently instructed in the truth as it is in Jesus. When the largest of all our lay organizations for men (St. Andrew's Society) was initiated, always the Bible class was thought to be a natural and inseparable adjunct. I know not how it is now, but I am certain that the study of the Word of God is the very best foundation of the faith. I do not care for geographies and archaeologies, but bring your common sense to bear on the Holy Scripture, and what it has to say to you for your own life; how you can follow out the teaching of the blessed work; what is its application to the problems of the day; what comfort it has for your sorrows; what hope for your reward. Belleme me, no man who reads and prays over and tries to live the Word of God is in any danger of forgetting his faith. How to Be Encouraged "David encouraged himself in the Lord"—Sam, 30:6. These words concerning him reveal to us the secret of his joy and success. Like Abraham, he believed in God. Trusting people are a happy people. They are contented and satisfied whatever their lot may be. They encourage themselves in the Lord and therefore have a continual feast. Their joy does not depend upon what people think or say about them, neither do they depend upon friends for comfort and encouragement, but they lean hard upon God and stand upon the promises. Those who encourage themselves in the Lord are a great blessing and stimulant to others in many ways, but they carry sunshine with them wherever they go. Such people will always be needed. They never need to seek a place or position, but places, positions and people, both friends and enemies, will seek them. They have no troubles and sorrows to burden other people with, but they become burden-bearers for others, and like Phil are able to comfort them that are in any trouble by the comfort wherewith they are comforted of God. Friend, if you have not yet learned to encourage yourself in the Lord, begin to-day and the result will be glorious. (Read Phil. 4:4-7.)—G. W. S. Herald. Unhesitating Obedience. Peter was the man of impulse, the man of action, with a swift-beating heart and an every-ready hand. To his forward-stepping mind, decision was easy and immediate; and so, almost before the command was completed, his swift lips had made answers. He will let down the nets." It was the language of a prompt and full obedience. It showed that his nature was responsive and genuine. He had learned to obey, the first lesson of discipleship; and having learned to obey, he was therefore fit to rule, qualified for leadership, and worthy of being intrusted with the keys of the kingdom. And how much is missed in life through feebleness of resolve, a lack of resolve! How many are the invertebrate souls, lacking in will and void of purpose, who, instead of surmounting waves and conquering the mood of adverse tides, like the mousse can only drift, all lilp and languid, in the current of circumstance! Such men cannot make apostles; they are but ciphers, flesh and blood, of no value by themselves and only of any worth as they are attached to the unit of some strong will. Time Enough For Every Date Time Enough For Every Duty. No man has any more duties to do than he has time to do well. God assigns all duties, and all time, and all strength for the doing of duties; God expects good work from all His children; and God never expects more than is reasonable. Therefore when we think that we have not time enough to do all our duties as well as we ought, we are elither wasting our time, or borrowing trouble, or trying to do what we ought to let alone. The honey-bee has a heavy burden of work to do, and only limited time to do it in; but he gets it done, and well done; and he gives no evidence of worrying over it. We ought to do at least as well.—Sunday-School Times. You Look Prematurely Old good health, with its blessings, must understand, quite clearly, that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best, each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to living aright. Then the use of medicines may be dispensed with to advantage, but under ordinary conditions in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the proper time and the California Fig Syrup Co. holds that it is alike important to present the subject truthfully and to supply the one perfect laxative to those desiring it.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound?" If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in this country where women cannot be found who have been restored to health by this famous old remedy, made exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs. During the past 30 years we have published thousands of letters from these grateful women who have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never in all that time have we published a testimonial without the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine. Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts that this is a true and honest statement of a woman's experience with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound write and ask her. Houston, Texas. "When I first began taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. I had been sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia, and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor's medicines, but nothing did me any good. "For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would never get well, when I read an advertisement of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it. "My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did me so much good I continued its use. I am now a well woman and enjoy the best of health. "I advise all women suffering from such troubles to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. They won't regret it, for it will surely cure you."—Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks, 810 Cleveland St., Houston.

No fitter illustration of the fact of a declaration can be found than the subject of this sketch is of the above. Mr. George F. Thomas, farmer, business man and substantial citizen, is a living, moving exemplar of the truth of the declaration, that "wealth makes the man, the want of it the fellow." He has been poor and homeless. He is now a freeholder of no small pretensions, with plenty ever smiling upon him and wealth just "over the fence." By thrift and economy and a remunerative conservatism, he has won for himself a place in the heart of the community in which he lives and power among the people, white and black, of the country round about. His farm is a veritable Eden, dotted with comely cottages, displaying signs of plenty. His home is surrounded with every convenience incident to a well-fitted country home. Cattie, horses, pigs and poultry give the place a truly rustic air, and the good wife and mannerable children add to the scene a grace that is worth more than passing comment. No one can visit the home of this expert in agricultural pursuits, economist and public spirited gentleman, but to leave with reluctance. For a congeniality pervades the very atmosphere and ties one by almost infrangible coils which carry his thoughts about the well tilted farm, the amply supplied smoke house and the spacious dining room laden with substantials and delicacies to suit the taste of the most technical enicureum. Despite the pressing duties incident to the manipulation of a successful farm, Mr. Thomas finds time to mingle with affairs of both church and state. And no meeting of lodge or church norgathering, political or otherwise, assembles within his reach, but that he is present with his counsel and advice. His advice is sought, and like old "Scipio Africanus," he is always there with the goods. As chairman of the Pulaski County Emancipation Committee he is elected year after year and always pulls off an exercise that does honor to the occasion for which it is organized. Like some tall cliff of fume in song or story, And the people applaud him, because his actions are unselfish, but sane and safe. By this I do mean that he is exempt from criticisms. There are those who malign him, who stab him in the back, but dwindle into object insignificance when brought face to face with him, and, like cringing cowards, fawn and smile. But friction reveals the fact as heat tests the steel. So this giant of economy, thrift and progression, harks to the croaks of the croakers with a weather car, and sees them die from the fumes of their own oozings. Such characters as Mr. Thomas should be held up before the youth of our land as fit illustrations of men who contribute to the life and longevity of the state and nation. For it would show beyond cavil that we, as a race and as individuals, must contribute as much in morals and materials to the state and nation, as we expect from the aforesaid agencies in rights and immunities. It will teach them, also, that, we, as a race, should have neither time nor tolerance for those who will create nothing that others may support and support nothing that others create. George F. Thomas is a practical business man, a successful farmer and a Christian gentleman—a creator and a patron. And when a final reckoning is made of the men of worth and weight in the state, if historians be impartial, the name of this son of the "Red old hills of Georgia" will stand aloft, exempt from mutability or decay, to show the glory and grandeur of a race, not unto freedom, born, but of it an undawned defender. "How Can Pastoral Visitation Assist Him in Sermon Preparations?" (Read by Rev. L. A. Townsley, D. D., before the Ministers' Evangelical Union, and published by request.) Sayannah, Ga., January 26, 1909. To the Chairman and Members of the Evangelical Union: Brethren: Since this subject is a vital one, and upon it hangs the weal or woe of immortal souls, then I feel that I must deal with it carefully, thoughtfully and in the fear of God. I say that it is a vital subject, for the reason, if a minister in the preparation of his sermon falls to put into his sermon those things necessary for the ill and solace of those of his hearers then it is apparent that he will cause some one of his congregation to receive an antidote which will not save or heal, but will kill and destroy that soul (or souls) into hell. If by visiting among those of his parish and giving them counsel and advice, determining the extent of the needs, both spiritually and physically, is meant, then it is obvious to all, that the material or matter for his sermon is brought out, just as clear as that of a skilled physician who, before treating his patient or even prescribes, will first of all, take a thorough diagnosis of the case in hand, which will determine the disease, the location and the remedy needed in the case. He will not give just any kind of a drug, but will give a specific drug, prepared and thoroughly compounded by a prepared pharmacist. An analytical formula is first prepared and sent in, prepared EDWARD WINFIELD SHERMAN, by the physician himself; and not then till he has satisfied himself by visiti- ng the patient, determining the diase- sse, its location, etc. Science teachs emphatically that for one body to be effected by another, they must come in contact; and denies action at a distance. That one body may act upon another at a distance, through a vacuum, without the mediation of anything else, is declared by scien- tists to be absolute absurdity. A thing cannot act where it is not: That one body must act upon another by contact is clear, otherwise inconceivable. Again, it is only in the hospital wards that the student attains any adequate knowledge of disease; and it is only whilst dealing with suffering, fallen men and women in immediate contact, that we can realize the actuality and awfulness of human deprivancy and wretchedness. No patient can get a thorough cure by distant correspondence. A true diagnosis and the application of a specific drug for the specific disease is the only means of a permanent cure. Then it is that I think I have made clear the ground for my remarks upon the subject in hand. The minister stands, as does the doctor, an administer for the disconsolate, an embalmer for human ills, grievances, vexations and the diseased souls of men and women. His flock, the patient, the care of souls is the radical idea of his office. "They watch for souls for which the Lord, Did Heavenly bliss forego." "For souls which must forever live, In rapture, or in woe." He, indeed is a shepherd, and no shepherd can know the true condition of his flock without going among them, neither can a pastor know the true condition of his parishers without visiting them. Again, when he has thus visited, examined, i. e.: diagnosed the many cases, then it is, that he is able to prepare a true formula and compound a drug in his study while preparing his sermon, which will produce a thorough, permanent cure of those whom he examined during the week and found to be effected with different diseases of the soul, mind and body, for indeed, the true pastor touches (and must) every phase of human ills found in the compound make-up of man. The minister is charged "To feed the flock of God," and he is divinely enjoined to "Take heed to all the flock over which the Holy Ghost hath made them overseers." Acts 20:28. This cannot be done, neither can he prepare a suitable sermon without taking the oversight of his flock through visitations. When these are completed, then the minister shuts himself in, and begins the compounding (preparing his sermon) his drugs under the divine direction of the Holy Spirit (his study serving as the screen of his apothecary) the formula is analytically arranged, his bottles (books) are lifted from the shelves and from them a little is taken and poured into one great mortar or basin, where a thorough mixturing process is carried on, and the (sermon) drug thoroughly prepared, sent out (on the Sabbath) to the different patients, who, when he or she receives it, takes it sometimes gladly, and sometimes reluctantly, but nevertheless a cure is perfected; the patients rejoice over the cure thus wrought, and the physician, i. e., (preacher) is made to rejoice also. In every community, or parish, can be found sin-sick, distressed, bereaved onces, the out-cast, and low-spirited, the sermon reaches all, and lodges, working great effectual good in the church and the community. The prophet, Ezekiel, sets the pace for this work, for he said: "I sat where they sat." Ezk. 3:15. He mingled with the people unto whom he was to deliver the message, "Thus saith the Lord." He went to the captives and saw all of their idolatrous worship, and their ignorance of the true worship, and his wrath was turned into pity and sympathy; the fire of love was kindled and he went willingly to task of applying the remedy, which was to save them. Only as we mingle with the sinful and fallen, can we be touched with that true sadness which awakens the consciousness of the real duties which devolves upon us as Christians. We can only bless men as we love them, and we cannot love them until from our hearts we commiserate them; and this is only possible when, through actual touch, or contact, we really know their misfortunes, disabilities, temptations and burdens. The example is also set in that of our blessed Lord and Master, who descended from the heavenly sphere and became the Son of Man, so as to enter into the very depths of human woes and sorrows, to work out our redemption. "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same." "Wherefore, in all things it behooved Him to be made like unto His brethren, that He might be a marciful and faithful high-priest." One has well said, "The people cannot be comprehended through an opera glass in the hands of the reformer, neither succored from a balloon. The philanthropist cannot help from a distance, because when he acts from a distance, he acts uninformed, and minus the genuine enthusiasm of humanity." The preacher should come near to those whom he would serve. Bishop Christopher Wordsworth said, "I have learned more in sick rooms, and from poor, simple folk, than from all the books which I have read." The reason why some preaching becomes as a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal, is because it is devoid of human sympathy. A preacher cannot prepare a systematic sermon which will reach the human heart, when he isolates himself from the people. The preacher who visits will have immeasurably more power by the contact, than the one who sits around and falls to mingle with his parishoners. It is the contact of visitations which furnishes the best possible material for his sermon, and this is styled the hunting grounds of tall great masters of emotion. The learned Dr. Cuyler of Brooklyn, when lecturing to a class of young ministers, said, "My brethren, aim from the start to be thorough pastors. During the week go to those whom you expect to visit your church on the Lord's day. In the morning of each day study books, in the afternoon study door plates and human natures; your people will give you the material for your best practical sermons." "After an effective Sunday's work, go around among your flock, as Napoleon rode over the field after a battle to see where the shot struck, and who were among the wounded." Therefore, you see plainly that the visit will furnish material for the next Sunday's sermon, and on and on. These visits, therefore, furnishes an accurate knowledge of the true condition, by being one with them in those touches of nature which make the whole world kin: I conclude that the whole sermon depends upon the diagnosis or pastoral visitations. With some men their star in life is their finish. Among the Masons. One of the foremost duties of a Mason is to obey all edicts of the Grand Lodge. Many of our lodges are gross violators of this principle. The officers of cach.lodge were ordered to forward election returns to the Grand Master and Grand Secretary at the election in December. This is the second month, and yet many lodges have disobeyed the edict. The following lodges have not reported to the Grand Secretary's office: Nos. 7, 9, 27, 29, 35, 36, 37, 43, 47, 52, 54, 58, 60, 66, 68, 69, 73, 82, 89, 90, 91, 94, 96, 100, 106, 108, 109, 111, 117, 119, 129, 130, 132, 136, 139, 145, 147, 149, 150, 153, 155, 157, 159, 164, 166, 168, 171, 174, 176, 177, 178, 186, 188, 190, 92, 195, 197, 198, 201, 210, 212, 216, 219, 220, 221, 223, 230, 233, 235, 239, 241, 247, 250, 254, 256, 259, 261, 263, 265, 272. The attention of the members of the above lodges is called to this derelection of duty, and they are requested to have the names sent in at once. The Grand Master has issued his call for the Grand Lodge communication. This means work for the lodges to prepare their reports in order to submit same before the first day of May. The Grand Secretary will send out the call and blanks for reports next week. Do your full duty and conform to the laws is what the grand officers request of every single officer and member of subordinate lodges. Macon, Ga., January 25, 1909. To the Tribune: The cold hand of death has thrown a dark gloom over the craft in our city. Last Tuesday at 6:30 a. m. Past Master Jesse Robinson was stricken with paralysis and at 11 a. m. Wednesday he was translated to the glory land. We feel that he is at rest. While it is heaven's gain, the craft has lost one of the most conscientious and true Masonic workers that ever bowed at the altar in a lodge room. He was a Past Master of Phoenix Lodge No. 12, got his demit from that lodge, and at his death was Worshipful Master of Ocmlglee No.25, and also Past Grand High Priest of Royal Arch Masons of the state. As an Odd Fellow he was a Past Noble Grand. He was also vice president of a benevolent society of the city known as the Morning Star. As a citizen he was among the Highest esteemed in our city. As a Christian he was a class leader of Steward Chapel A. M. E. Church, and also an exhorter. The funeral was, largely attended, the faculty and students of the Georgia and Alabama Business College, whom he had served as janitor for years, turned out in a body; they also gave a beautiful floral design. He was buried with Odd Fellow and Masonic honors. HALLS OF CONGRESS. One session-of the Senate was devoted to memorial addresses upon the late Senator Proctor. Senator Tillman insinuated that some Federal Judges were on the payrolls of corporations. The House Naval Committee was defeated in its efforts to replace marines on board warships. The urgent deficiency bill was passed and the postal savings bank bill was considered in the Senate. A bill to pension the widow of Rear-Admiral Coghlan at the rate of $100 instead of $50 a month was defeated. District of Columbia business being considered, it was voted to allow the use of the Pension Building for the inaugural. Five hundred pension bills were passed in the House, as was a resolution for an inquiry into the investigation of frauds against the Government. Congress heard that President Roosevelt is preparing a message attacking the lawmaking body, to be delivered March 3, when it is too late for retaliation. The President appointed a national council of arts, consisting of eminent architects, painters and sculptors, under whose direction national works will be planned and erected in the future. After futile efforts to obtain legislation for the restoration of marines aboard ships an amendment was agreed to prohibiting the purchase of powder "manufactured and sold in violation of" the Sherman ant-trust law. A debate on increasing salaries of Federal Circuit and District Judges ended with the result that the compensation of the twenty-nine Circuit Judges was increased from $7000 to $9000, and that from the eighty-four District Judges to $6000 to $8000. Their Wickedness. Gibbs (visiting)—What sort of neighbors have you here? Dibbs—a bad lot. There's a blacksmith who's engaged in forging, a carpenter who's done some counter-fitting and a couple of fellows next door who sell iron and steel for a living. —Boston Transcript. No Market. Cholly—Doctor, I want something Dr. Gruffy — My dear fellow, I wouldn't take it for a gracious gift—Universalist Leader, for my head. Brightest Prospects in View for Some Atlanta, Ga.—The fruit growers all over the state, so President Bagley of the Georgia Fruit Exchange reports, are glad to have the cold wave come at this time, for it proves what was feared to be a disaster to the peach crop in this state. The rather immoderate hot wave which had been existing until recently throughout the state had put the growers in a state of fear, because it was thought that a continuance of such conditions would cause the buds to grow to such a state that when a cold wave did come they would be killed. As the buds had not developed to the dangerous state when this cold wave presented itself, there is now danger of an off year as far as peaches are concerned, but the brightest prospects for some fine fruit. THE BRITISH SYSTEM. Agricultural Training in an English County. The education committee of Chishire county thinks that the schools should aid in the vocational training of the youths of that county. In England the girls look after the therefore, maintains one school for special instruction of women in the dairy and the poultry. The county dairy work and the management of poultry. Each course extends over thirteen weeks and three courses are offered each year. Eleighteen students are provided for in each course. Not great numbers are sought, but solid preparation for those actually expecting to engage in the vocation. Perilatetic courses are given in those subjects in the elementary schools in a more elementary manner. Then there is the county agricultural and horticultural school with accommodations for forty-five students, with a three years' course of instruction in all subjects connected with farming and gardening and care of farm animals. There is a faculty of ten instructors. The laboratories are well equipped for chemistry and biology. The school owns its own electric light and water plant. The farm is worked by the students. A herd of dairy shorthorns, a flock of sheep and white Yorkshire pigs are kept. The "duty list" is prepared each week for the students' work from 6:30 to 8, and again in the evenings under the following heads: Coms, dairy, stable, cattle and calves, pigs, poultry. In this way by actually attending to the various sections the students become practically familiar with the wants of the live stock. We have, a somewhat similar arrangement in our district agricultural schools. In fact, these schools should fill somewhat the same place as the county agricultural school in Chishire. Ourst still lack sufficient scientific equipment and-thorough textbook and laboratory training to supplement the outdoor work. This was planned, but as yet the equipment and teaching force has not been sufficient. I believe that the counties in each district should give scholarships to those district schools, and the state should grant one scholarship from each county to the agricultural college. The school hours are as follows: 6:30 — Farm and garden duty. 8:00 — Prayers and breakfast. 9:00 12:30 — Lectures laboratory work, etc. 1:00 — Dinner. 2:00 4:00 — Lectures and practical work. 5:30 — Tea. 7:00 — Revision of lecture work, etc. 8:00 — Prayer and supper. I. consider the county agricultural school at Holmes Chapel a practical school, well taught, and eminently fitted for the needs of the agricultural classes. A new feature in this county was the payment of a lecturer on sick nursing. Each course consists of six lectures and these are given in different school centers in the order of application to the director of education. The work in nature study is more systematically carried on than I have seen in this country. The instructor in nature study holds classes in various counties for instruction in nature study for teachers in chemistry schools. The ordinary classes meet once a week and consist of lecture and demonstrations followed by botical exercises. The lecturer also attends at elementary schools to give at least three lectures on these subjects. The railway fare of teachers to the lecture centers is paid by the board of education. Similar classes are organized for instruction in physical drill and the instructor supervises the work throughout the schools. The government issues a physical drill manual which is used throughout the nation in the elementary schools. This drill is as much a part of the day's work as arithmetic. It is a modified Swedish system arranged by army officers. We might learn another lesson here. We should insist upon medical examination and regular physical drill in all of our schools. J. S. STEWART. Athens Ga. GOOD ROADS SCHOOL Held at Athens Was a Big and Howling Success. Athens, Ga.-The good roads school which was held here was, in every way, a success. Over thirty counties were represented and the interest displayed was unusual. There were fifty county officials in attendance. Valuable literature on road construction was furnished to those in attendance, and the sessions will undoubtedly prove a forward step toward better roads over the state. THROUGHOUT THE STATE At a banquet in his honor, given by the Augusta chamber of commerce, Mr. E. H. Harriman, the railway king, outlined the policy of his railroads in the state of Georgia, and, in condensed form, they are as follows: If the people of the state will cease to be antagonistic to the railroad interests he will spend ten million dollars on the Central of Georgia railroad, of which road he is the controlling factor, and that if he improves his property, the other roads will have to do likewise. His address was impromptu and he took up statements of the leading speakers of the evening and defined his future attitude in this state. He complimented the people of the state upon the election of Honorable J. Brown to the governor's chair, and said that he believed it would result in prosperity to the entire state. Mr. Harriman came to Augusta for health, and he says that he has gained back his health, "It is up to Georgia to raise the embargo," he said. He only vouchsafed a promise of railroad extension in this state insofar as the attitude of the law and public sentiment will justify. The Farmers' National Bank of Monticello has been authorized to begin business with $30,000 capital, E. H. Jordan, president; J. A. Kelly, vice president; D. N. Harvey, cashier. Rev. B. F. Fraser of Galensville, since November the North Georgia Conference missionary evangelist, was notified by Bishop Hoss of his appointment as presiding elder of Augusta district to succeed the late Dr. J. W. Heldt, whose death occurred a few days ago. Evangelist Burke Culpepper of Valdosta, though not a very strenuous preacher, has succeeded in making it necessary to deny some very sensational reports which it is said that a street preacher has been circulating about him in Florida. The report was that during one of his meetings in the upper part of this state he became involved in an affray with a man in his congregation and that he shot at the man, striking a woman and killing her. Much has been heard of the alleged cruelties of the prison system of Georgia, but the negro who has just been pardoned after fourteen years' service as a convict in a coal mine, and received with his pardon $800 in cash which he had earned in that period by working overtime, evidently has small reason to make complaint. In the clerk's office in Bilbb superior court, a large mortgage given by the Central Georgia Power company to the Windsor Trust company, of New York, for a loan of $3,000,000 is being placed on record. The agreement covers an issue of bonds bearing interest at 5 per cent, the last to expire in 1918. The funds are going into a large power plant now in construction on the Cormulge river near Lloyd's shoals, in Butts county. Fifteen indictments were returned by the Ware county grand jury against alleged night riders, for taking part in the recent shooting, up of the town of Beach, that county. In the trouble, Miss Maggie Taylor, aged 14, was shot and very seriously wounded. The indictments charge a midmeanor, riot and assault with intent to murder. The indictments are against five young men, who, it is said, are not under arrest. They, it is alleged, rode into the little town at night and fired over five hundred bullets from, pistols, firing into houses at random, and into groups of persons on the streets, throwing the entire community into terror. President I.J. Connor of the board of trustees of the $100,000 Agricultural college at Athens and also the president of the State Agricultural society of Georgia, while in Atlanta recently announced, definitely, that the "Agricultural College on Wheels" would not be operated this year, as first contemplated. The reason given for this action is not on account of any lack of co-operation by the roads in Georgia or opposition by the railroad commission of Georgia, or lack of interest in the train-by the planters of the state, for these three elements were heartily in favor of the train, but because of the splendid growth in the interest of the Agricultural college, which would prevent Dr. Soule and his able corps of assistants from devoting the time necessary to the trip at this juncture. President Connor had just returned from Athens, where he has been in attendance at the Farmers' institute and that of the Farmers' wives. He declared it has been so successful that it had been decided to repeat the conference next year. At this conference some of the best known authorities on agricultural topics in the state were heard in lectures. One of the chief industries generally discussed at this conference was that of cattle raising in Georgia. Dr. Soule is bending all of his energies in this direction. He is an ardent advocate of the use of cotton seed meal mixed with hulls as a feed, having made experiments whereby it has been proven that by feeding a ton of this mixture, properly proportioned, five hundred pounds can be added to the weight of the cattle fed. It is accepted as the cheapest as well as the best feed on the market, and has been pointed out in using it the southern planter helps himself who furnishes to the mills the seed from which it is made. Dairy demonstrations, too, proved its splendid qualities for making more and richer cream. The soil tests where cotton seed meal is used in a commercial fertilizer, demonstrating its value there, will be made freely in the spring. General A. J. West of Atlanta has been named as an aide to General J. Franklin Bell, grand marshal of the inaugural parade, for the parade which will mark the induction into office of Mr. Taft. From preparations already made, it is announced that the parade will be the greatest military pageant seen in Washington since the civil war. Application has been made by Warren Edwards of Milledgeville for a place in line for the Taft Marching Club of Georgia, including 500 men and a military band. Pete iS se
