VOL. XXIV.
Coffee, Hides and Iron Ore on the Free List—Duties on Boots and Steel and Iron Products Were Lowered.
Washington, D. C.—The long awaited tariff bill was presented in the house of representatives by Representative Sereno E. Payne of New York, chairman of the ways and means committee. An increase of $40,000,000 to $50,000,000 in the annual revenue of the country will, it is estimated, result from the changes proposed, making a total of about $300,000,000.
The bill contemplates downward revision with maximum and minimum provision, which impose an average maximum duty of 20 per cent in excess of the present tariff. The recommendations made by President Taft—that an inheritance tax be provided, and that a limited amount of tobacco and sugar be admitted free from the Philippines—are included in the bill.
The measure also provides for the issuance of Panama canal bonds to the amount of $40,000,000, to reimburse the treasury for the original purchase of the canal, and re-enact the provision for the issue of treasury certificates, the amount being increased from $100,000,000 to $250,000,000.
The inheritance, tax provision exempts from taxation any property nequated to any religious, educational, charitable, missionary, benevolent, hospital or infirmary corporation. Personal property other than money or securities bequeathed to a corporation or association organized exclusively for the moral and mental improvement of men, or women, or for scientific, patriotic or similar purposes is made exempt from the tax. The inheritance tax provision is similar to the New York state law. It provides a tax of 5 per cent on all inheritances of $500 or more that are collateral in inheritances or in which taxpayers are the legateses. In cases of direct inheritance the taxes prescribed are; On $10,000 to $100,000 1 per cent; on $100,000 to $500,000 2 per cent, and on those over $500,000 3 per cent. It is estimated that $20,000,000 annually will be derived from this tax.
In order to prevent the confusion which attended the enforcement of the Dingley bill on the day on which it became a law, the Payne bill is not to take effect until the day after it is enacted.
While there is no duty imposed upon coffee, tea is taxed 8 cents when imported from the country where it is produced, and 9 cents when from other than the producing country. The internal revenue tax on cigarettes is materially increased, while the tax on beer and whiskey is undisturbed.
Coffee, hides and iron ore are on the free list; boots and shoes, leather goods, steel and iron products, lumber, wool, shoddy, and assemble, and the cheaper grades of third class wool are materially reduced. Tea is taxed 8 cents a pound. An internal revenue tax on beer and whiskey is not disturb. The bill, it is estimated, will produce $300,000,000 revenue from customs.
The duty on refined sugar is reduced 5.100 of a cent a pound, and on dextrin half a cent a pound. A reduction of one-half cent a pound is also made in the duty on starch, with the exception of potato starch. Zine in ore 'is assessed 1 cent' per pound for the zinc 'contained'. The tariff on pig iron is reduced from $4 to $2.50 per ton.
The principal increases are made in the duties on lemons, cocoa and substitutes for coffee, coal tar, dyes, gloves and coated papers and lithographic prints.
TEDDY BEAR AND BILLY 'POSSUM
Are in Conflict in Wisconsin Over the Change in Town Name.
Madison, Wis.-Teddy Bear and Billy Possum are at war in Taylor county and at present Billy has Teddy on his back and squealing for mercy. The trouble is all because about two-thirds of the town of Roosevelt have withdrawn their allegiance from the. ex-president and want to divide the town and call part of it Taft.
Taylor county began its custom of naming towns for presidents in 1890. At that time it named Groyer and another the Democrats. Four years later, when the Democrats were ousted from the white house, Taylor county created a new town and named it McKinley; four years ago it created another new town and named it Roosevelt. It is this last town that the Taft settlers insist on having divided.
SAY COURTS ARE BIASED.
Labor Unions Hold Demonstration
Against Gompers' Impoisonment.
Against Gompers' imprisonment: Boston, Mass.—As a demonstration against the sentence of imprisonment imposed by Samuel Gompers, John Melland and Morrison by Judge Wright, in the superior court of the District of Columbia, more than 5,000 members of labor unions paraded through the streets of this city. The audience heard Judge Wright attacked, and a resolution was drawn up, in which it was stated that the courts were biased and the laws directed at one class only. Copies of the resolution were sent President Taft, Vice President Sherman and Speaker Cannon.
The
CANNON ELECTED SPEAKER.
After Stormy Session House of Representatives Rules Were Changed.
Washington, D. C.—After one of the stormiest sessions in its history, the house of representatives, regardless of party alignment, adopted, 211 to 172, a resolution by Mr. Fitzgerald, democrat, of New York, whereby the rules.were amended in several important particulars. The resolution was a substitute for one offered by Mr. Clark of Missouri. Its adoption was accomplished only after the "insurgents," with the aid of democrats, with one or two exceptions, had won a decided preliminary victory by voting down a resolution by Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania, making the unamended rules of the sixtieth congress applicable to those of the present congress.
As analyzed by parliamentarians, the amendment makes three important changes. First, it establishes a "calendar for unanimous consents," the effect of which is to enable a member to have a proposition brought before the house without having to go to the speaker for recognition.
Second, when consideration of a bill is concluded, and the previous question is ordered, the rules herefore have provided for a motion to commit with or without instructions. It has been the practice to recognize a member of the majority to make this motion, and thus prevent the minority from offering such instructions as it may desire. The new rule gives the minority the preference in making such a motion, and thus enables them to get a record vote on propositions which would otherwise be settled in committee of the whole house, where no record vote is possible. Third, it protects the calendar by requiring. A two-thirds instead of a majority vote to set it aside. Fourth, it is also claimed that the amendment will have the effect of preventing favoritism by the action of the committee on rules in special cases.
The election of house officers preceded the action of the rules.
With plenty of votes to spare, Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois was reelected speaker, receiving 203 votes, as against 166 for Champ Clark of Missouri, 8 for Cooper of Wisconsin, 2 for Norris of Nebraska and 1 each for Esch of Wisconsin and W. P. Hopburn of Iowa, an ex-member. All the democratic members voted for Clark, so that the scattering vote represented the republican defection from Cannon.
WAIST.LINE OF NEW GOWN
Only 6 Inches Above the Knee, Decree of Fashion Makers.
New York City.—There were only two really new things shown at the first session of the Dressmakers' Protective Association. One was the "style clerical," a summer costume made to look as much like the French priests' robe as possible, with 500 buttons on it. The other novelty was the "Moyen age" gown, which was first heard from at a western dressmakers' convention a short time ago. Several specimens of this, which is to be the "really proper thing this summer," were shown. The exhibitors explained that the waist line in this model is six inches above the knee, equaling the hip. But longer in the last year. Features of the "Moyen age" which is said to follow the costume lines worn by fashionable women of the twelfth "French centuries," are a separate hanging "pocket for pennies," suspended at one side and a gigantic buckle of red and gold worn at the breast.
The association's president told her auditors that the favorite color for street wear next season is called "tea green." That there is a new mustard shade known as "khaki" color in the pastel shades; the favorites will be "peach blossom," "cloud blue" and "cloud gray." Raw silks and a new diagonal silk crepe will be the preferred materials.
ALCGHOL DISCUSSED.
Scientists Contend It Has No Therapeutic Use.
Washington, D. C.-Alcohol practically has no theapeutic uses, judging from the discussions at the semi-annual meeting here of the American Society for the Study of Alcohol and other drug narcotics. Some of the medical scientists contended that alcohol has no theapeutic uses, others that on the whole it has few such uses, while another declared that alcohol gradually is being eliminated as a drug.
To Save Roosevelt from Earthquakes.
Rome, Italy.—The Italian police are in a state of trepidation over Mr. Roosevelt's arrival in Naples early in April, and they hear with dismay that the ex-president's wife and three children intend to sojourn in southern Italy until June. Every effort will be made to dissuade Mr. Roosevelt from setting foot in Sicily and the earthquake region.
10 Per Cent Wage Cut..
Johnstown, Pa.-The Cambria Steel Co., which, when in full activity, employs 18,000 men, has announced a 10 per cent reduction in wages to take effect April 1. A notice was posted in all departments of the plant. The reduction will affect all employees from the highest to the lowest.
Census In China.
Washington, D. C.—China is about to take a census of the uncounted millions within her borders. The state department has just received a copy of an imperial edict issued in accordance with the program for constitutional reform, directing an enumeration of individuals in the empire.
THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAYANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1909.
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
QUICK REVISION IS URGED
Wants Party Platform Pledge Redeemed. Message Remarkable For Its Brevity.
Washington, D. C.—The following message on the tariff, which is remarkable for its brevity and much shorter than had been anticipated, was sent to congress by President Taft:
"To the senate and house of representatives: I have convened the congress in this extra session in order to enable it to give immediate consideration to the revision of the Dingley tariff act. Conditions affecting production, manufacture, and business generally, have so changed in the last twelve years as to require a adjustment and revision of the import duties imposed by that act. More than this the present tariff act, with the other sources of government revenue, does not furnish income enough to pay the authorized expenditures. By July 1, next, the excess of expenses over receipts for the current fiscal year will equal $100,000,000.
"The successful party in the late election is pledged to a revision of the tariff. The country and the business community especially expect it.
"The prospect of changes in the rates of import duties always causes a suspension or halt in business, because of the uncertainty as to the change to be made and their effect. It is, therefore, of the highest importance that the new bill should be agreed upon and passed with as much speed as possible consistent with its due and thorough consideration. For these reasons I have deemed the present to be an extraordinary occasion within the meaning of the constitution, justifying and requiring the call of an extra session. In my inaugural address I stated, in a summary way, the principles upon which, in my judgment, the revision of the tariff should proceed and indicated at least one new source of revenue that might be properly resorted to in order to avoid a future deficit. It is not necessary for me to repeat what I then said.
"I venture to suggest that the vital business interests of the country require that the attention of the congress in this session be chiefly devoted to the consideration of the new law and that the less time given to other subjects of legislation in this session, the better for the country.
WILL RETURN BATTLE FLAG.
Fourth Ohio Will Present Confederat
Flag to Alabama Quorum
at Flag to Alabama Owners.
Columbus, Ohio.—Two members of the fourth Ohio cavalry will bear back to the southland a confederate flag captured by. that organization from Alabama soldiers at Selma.
Governor Harmon, in a letter to Mrs. Charles G. Brown, president of the Alabama division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, of Birmingham, concluded that a personal delivery of the flag would be fitting and that he would select members of the command that brought it back to the forrier owners.
It is Governor. Harmon's intention have the flag turned over to the soldiers who once carried it aloft, at a reunion to be held at Huntsville, Alabama, May 1.
BOY LEFT MILLIONS.
Is Nephew of Wesley Hunt Tilford of New York.
Augusta, Ga.—A. G. Dickinson, who is stopping at the Bonair Hotel here, was informed in a lengthy telegram that his son, Hunt Tilford Dickinson, was left as a fortune of $4,000,000 by his uncle, the late Wesley Tilford, one time president of the Standard Oil Company. The boy has been kept in ignorance of his good fortune. The father says he is afraid it will spoil him, although he has been used to every luxury that money can buy on account of his father's wealth.
REBELLION IN GUBA.
Mutiny of Troops Result of Wide spread Conspiracy.
Havana, Cuba.—The first armed uprising against the new Cuban' republic occurred within a little more than six weeks, after the inauguration of General Gomez as president. How series the movement is, it is impossible to determine, all that is known being that a sergeant of the rural guards with seven other members of the rural guards took' to the woods and that the troops are in pursuit. While the movement apparently is unimportant numerically, all indications point to the fact that it is part of a widespread conspiracy.
CONFIDENCE MEN CAPTURED.
Man Arrested in Savannah Had a Clever Trick.
Savannah, Ga.—Working a game in Savannah with an educational twist, two men, who gave their names as Malone and Davis, are under arrest here. The trick they work hinges on the word "transpire." They usually rope in their victims with the bet that the word means the same as "perspire." Nine persons out of ten they tried here were perfectly willing to bet the word had no such meaning. One of the men sided with the prospective victim, and the bet once made was followed by reference to a dictionary. Then the victim found he had been picked.
Mombasa, British East Africa.—Mombasa is preparing already to welcome Theodore Roosevelt when he lands here the latter part of next month on his much-heralded African trip, and the coming of the former president of the United States has given a decided impetus to the interest in the present hunting season. The governor of the protectorate, Lieut. Col. Str James Sadler, is getting up a program of wit and entertainment for the distinguished vistor, but, in spite of these arrangements, the greeting to Mr. Roosevelt will be more to the great sportman whose fame is well known to local hunters than to the former president.
The prospects for good hunting this season are considered excellent. Many of the settlers in the outlying districts, realizing the increasing interest in the prospects for good spot because of the coming of Mr. Roosevelt, are voluntarily sending in information about the movements of game. According to a dispatch received here a record group of lions, numbering thirty-two, has been seen on the Nandl plateau at a point about fifty miles of Port Florence. (The Nandl plateau is on the west side of the great Rift valley.) Among them were three huge males. Four families of giraffes have been seen at Makindu, 200 miles inland from here on the Uganda Railroad, and elephants have been seen at Elburg, 475 miles inland on the railroad and along the Sabkl river
East African sportsmen were highly gratified to learn that Mr. Roosevelt had refused the offer of the authorities to grant him a special hunting license that would have permitted him to kill game to an unlimited extent, instead of confining himself to the two elephants, two rhinoceros, two hippopotamil, etc., of the regular license, Lions and leopards are classed as permin and correctly no longer in hippopotamil required. The white population of Mombasa has heard much of Mr. Roosevelt's personality and in a joking way frequent references to the "big stick" are being made.
Everything points to a successful stay in British East Africa and Uganda for Mr. Roosevelt; the natives are peaceful; game is plentiful and the people of Mombasa are waiting eagerly to extend him a welcome.
TAFT KISSED SIGNIFICANT PASSAGE
Peculiar Coincidence in Connection With Ceremony of Kissing Bible.
Washington, D. C.—Through James H. McKenney, the veteran clerk of the supreme court of the United States, has just came to light the fact that President Taft's lips fell upon a very significant passage in the Bible when, after taking the oath of office, he kissed the sacred volume. Mr. McKenney held for the chief justice the book used in connection with the administering of the oath. He presented it to Mr. Taft and after the Jatter had sworn to bear truth, faith and allegiance, he reverently leaned over and touched his lips to the open face of the book. They fell upon the third chapter of I Kings, at the point beginning, "Give, therefore, Thy servant an understanding heart to judge Thy people, that I may discern between good and bad; for who is able to judge this Thy great people?" This was the prayer of Solomon at the beginning of his reign, and the passage closes with the statement that the prayer was answered because of its unselfish character.
RUNAWAY EXPRESS TRAIN.
On Canadian Pacific Railroad Killed
4 Persons and Injured 30
4 Persons and injured 30.
Montreal, Canada—Four persons are dead and thirty others were more or less badly injured as the result of the blowing out of a canoe the locomotive hauling an express train on the Canadian Pacific Railway, Scalding steam filled the cab, and the engineer and fireman were forced to jump. The train, without a guiding hand at the throttle, dashed into the Montreal station, through the granite wall, into the women's waiting room, and then into the rotunda, where the locomotive, after demolishing one massive granite pillar, was brought to a standstill by another.
LABOR TROUBLE IN FRANCE
Postal Department is Paralyzed by the Strike.
Paris, France.—The letter carriers have joined the striking telegraphers, telephone operators and mail clerks employed by the postoffice department. Eight hundred postmen employed in the delivery of newspapers and parcels are out.
Paris is also practically isolated from the rest of France, and France from the outside world. Eight thousand strikers met and passed a resolution to maintain the struggle to the end.
Women Win in Denmark.
Copenhagen, Denmark.-Out of forty-two members of the municipal council of Copenhagen elected recently, seven are women.
Six Airshifts For Wrights.
London, England. — The Wright brothers have placed an order with a London firm for the immediate construction of six aeroplanes.
Attended Lincoln's Church.
Washington, D. C.-Forsaking his own church for the day, President Taft attended services at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, where President Lincoln and other famous statesmen once worshiped:
FOR A GREATER SOUTH
Slogan Adopted By the Southern Commercial Congress.
HÁS MADE GREAT PROGRESS
Distinguished Men and Optimistic Ad-
Washington, D. C.—Distinguished men from every part of the country, jurists, senators, representatives and leaders of the 'business world, attended a dinner in honor of Colonel John M. Parker of New Orleans, LA., the president of the Southern Commercial Congress. The occasion reflected in a marked degree the rapid strides which the congress has made since it was launched in this city three months ago, as a potent and vigorous agency or nation throughout the greater south." This slogan was the keynote of notable speeches 'prophetic' of the achievements to follow the vigorous campaign of the congress in its mission of revealing to the whole country the south's wonderful resources.
Addresses were delivered by W. W. Finley, president of the Southern Railway; Senator Joseph F. Johnson of Alabama, former Senator Henry Gassaway Davis' of West Virginia, Representative Robert J. Henry of Texas and others. Thomas G. Boggs of Baltimore, Md., secretary of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association, was toastmaster.
"Our southern section is a land rich in natural resources and abounding in opportunity," declared Mr. Finley. "The splendid record of accomplishment made by its people in building an agricultural, industrial and commercial empire upon the ruins left by war is an assurance of greater progress yet to come.
What has already been accomplished may be regarded as little more than a demonstration of the extent of the southern soil, mines, and forests and of the possibilities of diversified country. While doing their full part for the development of their section, the southern people welcome the efficient and industrious from other sections and from other lands. The man with money to invest, and the man seeking profitable employment will each find abundance of southern opportunities. In fact, I do not believe that in any other section of the country can a man who is not afraid to work find conditions more favorable to his advancement than in the southern states.
"It is the mission of the Southern Commercial Congress to voice the call of the south for men of capital and enterprise to aid in the most advantageous utilization of its manifold resources. In my opinion, the success of the organization will depend in very large measure upon the plan adopted for its work. It will, of course, aim to supply the most complete and detailed information that can be obtained as to the advantages and resources of each locality, in addition to this, it can properly aid in the development of a sound and constructive public opinion, on purely economic problems. I believe that the most important economic problem that concerns our section at this time is that of adequacy of transportation facilities. It is in the fields of disseminating information as to the south and its resources, and of forming public opinion, as to those economic policies which are essential to the highest degree of prosperity that the Southern Commercial Congress may work most efficiently.
YANKEE STORE IN LONDON.
The British Shopkeepers Make 'Fran-
tic Efforts to Meet Competition.
London, England.—The opening in
London of the first American"department store in this city was, a memorable event in the history. The
English retail business and the
"Yaukee" enterprise, as it is generally called here, has electrified the old firms to frantic efforts to outdo the new competitor. They are resorting to costly methods to attract the people from the opening of the American store, such as concerts, anniversary celebrations and other entertainments on a large scale, even employing grand opera singers, military bands and music hall performers to attract the crowd. All the newspapers"have printed long accounts of the new enterprise and the personality of, the chief movers.
The doors of the new store, were opened, and shortly after the establishment was crowded with thousands of people, mostly women. The building was elaborately decorated inside and out. The entire staff worked with a ceaseless energy for forty-eight hours in arranging the goods and bringing what was largely a scene of confusion into a fine order, as though the store had been running for years.
TO UNCOVER CITY GRAFT.
Carnegie, Rockefeller and Other Millionaires to Try to Purify Politics
* New York City—A. Le Weil, president of the Voters' League of Pittsburg, who is in New York conferring with members of the bureau of members of municipal research, confirms the report that a movement is under way looking to the organization of civic societies throughout the United States, whose purpose shall be to uncover graft and purify city politics. Twenty or more of the large cities in the country will be in the organization, John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Jacob H. Schiff and other well known men will finance the undertaking.
LATE NEWS NOTES
When Enrico Caruso, the great-Italian tenor who is to sing in the music festival next May, reaches Atlanta, Ga., he will be given a reception at which the musical people of the south will have an opportunity of meeting him. This is an unusual thing for Caruso to consent to do, for besides being a very rich man, he is also very shy of crowds. But he comes himself from a southern country, and is anxious to meet some of the southerners of the western continent.
The German kaiser has forbidden officers of the army and navy to smoke cigars or cigarettes in the presence of women in evening dress anywhere. Society women have long complained of the fumes of tobacco.
Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan, will open a restaurant in the Brooklyn navy yard about May 1. Miss Morgan has just received her authority from the government to carry out this plan, which aims to provide for the men the work in the navy, yard better food at less money than they can now obtain. Advices from Peking by steamship Suveric tell of efforts to restore the Chinese navy at a cost of $100,000.000. Admiral Sa had been summoned to Peking to consult with the prince regent regarding a scheme to provide funds. Naval ports and docks are to be established, foreign experts engaged as advisers and instructors and naval colleges established.
Dr. T. G. Spencer Hough of the United States marine hospital service at Hong Kong, who has just returned on the steamer Siberia reports that strenuous efforts are being put forth by the Chinese government to stop the opium traffic, though the English colony at Hong Kong wishes to have the traffic undisturbed on account of the tremendous revenue derived. When a Chinaman is caught smoking opium in many of the cities of the Flowery Kingdom, nowadays, he is punished by having 600 blows from a bamboo rained on his back and limbs. So says Dr. F. J. Tooker, of San Francisco, Cal., a medical missionary of the Congregational Church, who has just returned after a long sojourn in China.
In order to pay an election bet with his brother-in-law, Oscar E. Nulf, of East Palestine, Ohio, near Toledo, left Pittsburgh a few days ago for Washington, D. C., and return on foot by the same route, covering a distance of 826 miles in 100 days, or forfeit $100. He started penniless and will attempt to clear expenses by selling postal cards of himself and advertising space on his cart. He bet on Bryan.
A letter, written by Theodore Roosevelt, in 1904, to the late Colonel William L. Stone, sold in New York City recently for $8.75, although it contained only twenty-nine words in all, including the signature, and was thus hardly more than autograph. In the same sale a letter to John Quincy Adams brought $8, while three letters of Rutherford B. Hayes sold for $3, $1.25 and $1.50, respectively. Two letters of James A. Garfield brought only $1.50 apiece.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has announced that hereafter it will furnish to all passengers on Pullman cars seat or coffee or both free. This will apply only to trains to which a diner is attached. The Pullman people have been notified that hereafter the porters will be required to go to the dining car at the request of any passenger at any time except when the car is closed for the night and bring coffee or tea to the passenger without charge. Pittsburg officers of the road say it has been found that tea and coffee are preventives for headaches due to railroad traveling. The railroad company shops to get more than its money back by not having to take care of so many sick passengers.
Washington.
The reports given out by the United States census as to the wealth that comes out of the mines every year, almost staggers-belief. They show that less than one man' out of every one hundred working-men in the United States, is engaged in mining, yet the mines produce more than $800,000,000 annually. If the other working people produced as much wealth proportionately as the miners they would be producing every year in the country twenty-two times as much as all the gold and silver money in circulation in the entire world. The battleship Kearsarge arrived at the Philadelphia navy yard to be thoroughly overhauld. Although the Kearsarge had more mascots than any other vessel in the battleship fleet, she return with fewer. The kangaroo, goats and scores of smaller animals fell victims to the stormy weather the Kearsarge encountered, while the bear had to be sold because of his fondness for the officers' clothing.
The friendly smile and broken accent of Major Charles Loefler have gone from the president's door. Ever since Grant's time, for more than 30 years, the old soldier has been the official guard at the executive's office portal and a host of presidents who were glad to call themselves his friends - will hear of his retirement with genuine regret. Several years ago Major Loefler, then a captain in the regular army, reached the age of retirement, but President Roosevelt, who had become much attached to him and disliked the idea of losing his familiar face, interested himself in the matter and secured the passage of a bill through congress which permitted Loefler to remain in active service.

QUEEN OF ALMOND SOUP. Make a broth of chicken. When cooked very tender, take the breast and the yolks of two hard-bolled eggs. Add to them a quarter pound almonds beaten to a paste, a small piece of bread soaked in milk, with much black pepper and a little nutmeg. Pick the chicken into shreds and beats well together. Beat an egg and add to the mixture, then beat again. Make small balls of the paste and drop into the broth. Add a tablespoonful butter and serve at once. This is a favorite Christmas soup with the Mexicans.—Washington Star.

successful has been so conclusively demonstrated that even its opponents are compelled to believe that its cures are entirely "imaginary," its power as a responsive force can no longer be denied. In such cases, however, the friends and the enemies of the new movement are both right and both wrong, for while there is truth in all these systems that invariably works for the treatment of those who follow such principles, there is also a measure of doubt that it can to det as a positive criterion to derive the new mode of life, therefore, it is only necessary that we should find the "golden mean" to obtain a hard way station, where that is the truth and no excuse to hide ourselves.
In the first phase, therefore, doubt as to the usefulness of that the physical body is largely controlled by the mind. In the second phase, there are two important factors that one positive, and the other negative in the effects. The positive mode of thought leads to health, to strength, and to power. The negative mode of thinking is productive of very few of weakness. To be healthy in body and strong in mind, the greatest degree of body's vital life, and to make the most of every opportunity that presumably is necessary, should be maintained in the positive attitude of thought, and the moment that we permit the negative thought to elicit a take possession of our mind, and to shut off the power behind so necessary to success.
For example, courage, hope, and self-confidence are some of the positive thought elements, and common sense is important in determining necessary to be on the path as they are to the spiritual mind. To succeed, they will we undertake. It is important that we should have perfect confidence in our ability to reach at work we have aimed. As long as we maintain that attitude more often, hope for us to succeed. Let us trust itself, let the element of disconfidence be removed and our first step toward disaster has been taken.
Physicians understand the operation of this mental law, and then end with ease to hope and confidence in the mind of the patient. Some of our son believes he must help his mind helps to facilitate his recovery inoperable diseases, yet he must die of and health and death instead of and health and death can save him. It is the same law that operates in all cases of disease through the powers the systems deserve to force known as "situation." The operation is given, either by the person himself, or by some other person who he the other person failed to the power of the thought-force to combat disease, the regenerative influence excels the desired effect.
As you may possibly see these essays within the book, their secondary other to the standard of common sense or to the recognized tenets of the amphidox Christianity, simply usus, weave and work it may seem, is actually working for our own good, and those of us who doubtly to look over the record of our own experiences, will undoubtedly believe, admit that there is a firm foundation of truth behind this so-called law of life. It is because this title provides us it is because we know that the complexion of our experiences changes when we view retrospectively, and can see their hopes that the "new thought" has taken so firm a grip upon the intelligence of thoughtful men and women.
A book entitled *The Contained by the New philosophy* is the important work of the great picture, and this is bounded upon common-sense. According to this theory, every act on achievement must have an actual experience with the material it can be treated in any material sense. By this "new thought" teachers mean that the teacher must accomplish as much effort to know precisely what would be necessary to make the commence to do it, just as the artist views his picture initially before he attempts to make it, so every act of life should be clearly pictured in the mind before it is made to accomplish it.
must not ignore to see that this must be a good sensible theory to follow, expert in the necessity of seeing our environment get at it. What would we think, a marshman who, individually, would walk on his street, should close his eyes tightly and shoot at animals? Yet this is clearly what persons need on every day of their lives and this is the practice that the new contemporary and voracious prevent. By completing the mental picture before attempting to reproduce it in reality, we can protect ourselves against many misfortunes, for the immutability of failure, thus critically affirming that this may be a very tough, but it is also ordinary common sense.
This principle advanced by the providers of these systems of tuberculosis value the concentration, that idea nobody can possibly object to. To be确立, defining purposeful life, it is admitted necessary that we should comply with two conditions—(1) what we desire to do, and (2) we must be able to concentrate our attention upon the effort to do it.
There is a very simple illustration that grimmin the face in a room in try not to expense. The only thing necessary is abstraction to give a lifting machine used in gymnasiums, that record the amount of weight the individual lifts, however, you must try two experiments to take hold of the machine and see how much you can lift with the slightest attempt. You must stop the slightest attempt the changes and lift and, while you are still lifting and wander still the machine better yet, keep up a steady run of conversation with someone who instantiates your machine that we have been recorded, try the experiment again, but this time, pay attention to what you are doing. Set your mind
upon the effort you are making—
jink of anything else—and you will
be astonished by his progress
Agile lesson, that this experiment, it leads, applies, just as forcibly, to every event that performs (Orford) these new systems attempts to make this "joint" clear by advancing the theory that the power to make plans, and carry them into execution, is due to the generation of an electrical force, which is constantly being generated, at the human body. While the body
undertake we must have courage, and confidence, and hope, but they alone are not sufficient. We must know just what we want to do; and we must, he able to give our attention in the performance of, that, purpose, but, in addition to all this, we must be willing to work for what we want. In fact without this willingness to contribute our part, the goal will never be reached, for "mental pictures," and "concentration," without the added element of physical endeavor, never have brought health, success or happiness to a single individual. To recognize the part that we have undertaken in the said indication of wisdom, but to accept added discernment at the expense of personal effort is to shut the very door to regeneration, that these truths would otherwise open to us—John AR.

The Christian Recorder at Philadelphia is beginning to look like itself again.' The recent Bishop's Council has given Editor Johnson a leave of absence on account of his health and Rev. R. R. Wright, Jr., has been placed at its head as editor. This accounts for the excellent appearance of the Recorder, and which is in keeping with the progress of this great church.
NOTHING is being said about the coming registration of voters under the disfranchisement act. We are particularly anxious for our present number of voters to be doubled. This can be done with systematic work and encouragement of the leaders in every locality in the State. At any rate we must not have our present voting strength diminished. Each prospective voter must prepare to meet the test through which the registrars will take them.
Reasons for Searcity of Negroes in Trades.
The cause of the scarcity of Negroes in the trades is often said to be chiefly race prejudice; but there are other causes which are much more easily described. In the first place: there are the very meagre opportunities for Negroes to learn trades. In the North there are but few schools where the Negro boy or girl can learn a mechanical trade. The North therefore has to depend most largely for its Negro mechanics upon Southern sources; and it remains a fact that the large proportion of the Negro mechanics in the North are of Southern birth and training. Another reason why there are few Negroes in the North in mechanical trades is the competition that exists in the North. Negro workmen are not infrequently deficient in one or both of the things most necessary in competition—speed and accuracy. As a rule, the Negro who has learned his trade in slavery, and his son who learned under him in the South, cannot do work with the same accuracy and finish as the white workman in the North; or if they can do the work in the same degree of accuracy, they generally take a much longer time to do it. Still another reason is that in the North conditions of work contain less of the personal element, and every man is expected to work regularly, to report promptly and to let nothing interfere with his work. Many Negroes who have had opportunities in the North have lost them because they have not learned the lesson of regularity and punctuality. A fourth very important reason has to do with labor organizations. As a rule Negroes are ignorant of the value of labor organizations, or, if they know the value they are quite unable to organize themselves. They complain generally because they are excluded from, or rather not heartily invited into, labor unions; and their efforts have generally ended with their complaints. Yet they have not usually proved that they are desirable union members, either by organizing themselves or by an active, intelligent interest in labor union affairs in cases where they are admitted to white unions.—R. R. Wright, Jr., in the Southern Workman.

Bev. Dahlent; in The Tribune.
We notice in the last issue of THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, a letter from the pen of the Rev. Joseph A. Dahlent of the St. Benedict's Church of your city. This distinguished divine is manifesting more than ordinary interest in the condition of the Negro in our community and his efforts should not go without notice. His discussion of the existing conditions of the Negro as regards the ignorance of the race as compared with that of the white race, is well worth the consideration of those of us who attempt to study these condition.
With the major portion of his articles we most heartily agree, and that part of it to which we take exceptions, the argument we present might be aptly denominated, a distinction without a difference. The facts he proclaimed stand out in bold relief and to deny the truthfulness of them, absolutely, would be suicidal to our premises and to the conclusion that we would reach based thereon. Hence we agree with the Reverend but bag his tolerance in the submission of the following facts:
The report of the state school commissioner for the state of Georgia, in his annual report, in round numbers says there are 32,000 Negroes in the state aforesaid, who cannot read or write. It states, also that there are 9,000 whites in the state who can neither read or write. The Georgia legislature, and the people of the state, not long since, became alarmed at the wonderful strides the Negro was making in the reduction of illiteracy among the colored people, and not to reduce the progress of Negro, but to increase the possibilities of the white youth of the state they increased the facilities of the latter for getting educational training without regards to the Negro whatever. They instituted rural schools for the whites, and in every nook and cranny of the state, there may now be seen nicely prepared schools provided for by state appropriation. Now, these schools increase the possibilities of the white children of the state threefold, and I dare say, will as essentially decrease the percentum of ignorance among them. Now, how does this effect the Negro? The next census will probably show a pronounced decrease in the illiteracy of the white children of the state, while that of the Negro will show, little, if any, diminution over the figures of the last report, giving advantage to the agitator who would argue the incapacity of the Negro as compared to the capacity of the white man in the acquisition of knowledge to be gained from books. This is one great disadvantage and it millitates seriously against our people.
In writing these facts, we do not wish to absolve people from faults; we do not mean, even to impune that they do their full duty in the premises. But we do mean to say that the entire fault cannot be reasonably placed at their doors. There are many children who could be in school who are not in school. There are many children who would be in school who cannot be in school on account of the fact that there are no accommodations. Those who are now in school, in many instances, are crowded to the utmost, so much so that the advantages which would naturally come to them, are curtailed in the rush and hurry that are necessary to accomplish the work outlined. We agree that parents should be compelled to send their children to school; but accommodation must precede compulsion or the effort along the former line would be futile and the same conditions would of a necessity obtain. Let those authority provide the accommodations and we will institute such a crusade against those who willfully neglect this important duty that they would either come up to the scratch or run to cover, there to remain ashamed to raise their heads to the level of the surface.
We heartily commend Rev. Dahlent for his splendid argument in the interest of our people. We would call attention of our people to these products of his trenchant pen. His valuable labor links him insolubly, with the interests of our community, and the people should be glad of his presence here. A minister, in the ordinary pernacular, is the shepherd of the church over which he presides. And generally, he confines himself to this specific service but thanks to Him who delivered the injunction. "Go
ye into the highways and hedges and compel, men to come," this faithful servant of God and the people, is here among us, to chasten to advise, to rebuke and to console. Roy REGINALD.
F. B. B. Church Dots.
F. B. Sunday afternoon the West side presented a beautiful picture of liveliness. The occasion was the 62nd, Thanksgiving of the Good Samaritans. They crowded the auditorium leaving the gallery for the visitors and friends. The pulpit was beautifully decorated with white roses and vines. The inscription, "Welcome Good Samaritans" in gold letters, were very appropriate. The regular program of the order was used. Those who participated in the exercises acted will their parts. Rev. Wright in his usual dignified manner welcomed the I. O. of G. S, and D. of S. His text was from Luke 10:83 The good Samaritan. The sermon was a masterpiece. It was quite evident that it sank deep into the heart of many, especially members of the order. The choir sang several very sweet selections, they certainly made a record of church, pastor, choir and section. R. W. G. C., L. W. Beauley introduced those presenting the Monuments, and they certainly were at their best. Not withstanding the element weather, quite a number were up to hear Rev. Wright on Sunday night. He read for the lesson Matt T: The text was from Ezek. 13. The sermon was a very forlible one charging Christians to hunt the sinners and bring them to Christ. The choir sang "Joy to the world." Rev Wright led the hymn "Jesus I come to Thee." He asked all who felt the need of prayer to come to the mercy seat they cheerfully obeyed. Deacon Black prayed. After the regular church collection was taken Rev Wright made a statement that there was in our midst a very sick member whom the doctors have pronounced incurable, "Church, he asks you to send him home and if he must, let him die with his wife and children in Milledgeville." It took but a short while to raise the required amount as the leader of the Good Samaritans was present and personally assisted in raising the collection, he gave very liberally. It was very sad when the sick brother in his weak condition arose and thanked us and bidding us good-by forever?

The subject of the attraction of the great crowd. In simple but eloquent words, Father Dahlent provided firstly the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Blessed Eucharist; the bible in hands he read the beautiful words of Promise, John 6th chapter and the solemn chapter of the Institution, Math 20th chapter; and these words of christ could not be explained in an other sense than the one given by the Catholic Church. In the second part of this interesting piece, Father Dahlent gave the beautiful meaning of the three things which you find in every Catholic Church, namely: (a) "The Tabernacle," before the lamp is burning, and in the tabernacle lamp is burning, and in the tabernacle lamp is residing, (b) "The Altar" on morning after morning, the Holy Sacrifice of the mass, unbloody reproduction of the bloody sacrifice of Calvary is offered, (c) "The Altar-rails" at which the faithful souls receive her God and Saviour in Holy Communion. This lecture made a deep impression not only on the Catholics, but also on the non-Catholics who were present. Next Wednesday Rev J A Dahlent will give the fifth lecture; the subject will be "Veneration of the Saints; Catholics do not adhere status."

St. Philip Monumental's Happenings.
As usual at 9:30 o'clock Sunday School opened with its ever excellent out look. All present seemed to be fully interested in learning more and more about the lesson and thereby being better fitted to understand the Lord's will and to do it. The pastor Dr L A Townsley having just returned from the District Conference, reported a very successful session together with his usual instruction to the school. All present were deeply instructed. At the eleven o'clock services quite a number were present and appeared to be greatly benefited by the instruction given, Dr. Townsley was in his usual mood except being a little jacel from his trip. At 3:30 p.m the pastor and congregation went over to help the good people of our sister Church, Bethel A M E and Quite, Reverend A M E. Quite amount was realized. For a time Sunday afternoon it seemed as if the condition of the weather would prevent the services if the evening and the thurgh it quite a telling effect on the attendance it had the determined ones were out aboard a very excellent sermon preached by the pastor. Notice just a few days and the revival will begin. Come out and help to win more souls for the the Lord and His kingdom.
St. James Dots.
The services of last Sunday at St James A.M.E Church were of great interest. The pastor preached at 11 and 8 o'clock, both sermons were interesting. The choir is steadily improving. The Sunday school is rapidly improving in every instance. The attendance was larger on Sunday than for sometime, a donkey party was given at the residence of Mrs Edna Simpkins Walthour Monday evening which was quite a success. All present enjoyed themselves very much especially when they were led in the parlor from the dining room blindfolded to pin the donkey's tail in the proper place, there were twenty four tails distributed and Ree Famille Pierce won the prize.

The party was given by Mrs Minnie Williams and Mrs Walthour for the benefit of Sunday School Mrs L A Alexander is still very sick also Mrs Dolly Pierce. We hope for them a speedy recovery.

FOR THE FARMER AND STOCKMAN
The way some people house their tools in winter is good to keep harrows and rakes in toothache. Farms need more tools than in former years but not one farm in a dozen has buildings to match. American Cultivator.
Dairy Cows.
Teo close confinement of dairy cows is greatly detrimental to their health. All animals require exercise to develop properly and have normal health, and good health and vitality are necessary to the production of good milk. Indianapolis News.
Concerning Wire Fences.
Wire fences lend themselves readily to beautifying schemes, for they furnish good support for vines of every description. If you crave annual change, climbing up thorns, morning glories, sweet peas, wild cucumbers, gourds, Madeira vine or cobae. If a permanent fence desired, plant elevated or curved roses, hone suckle, trumpet greener or wooded, and dull the year while they are getting a firm foothold, you can use any of the annuals for temporary plant results. Washington Star.
Small Fruit.
There are three essentials in the selection of a location for small fruits: First, that the soil and land be suitable for good ground, well-drained or oaky, but not in an old orchard or near to other large trees that will absorb the moisture and nutrient from the soil. Second, the plat for small fruit must be concientious to the house, and this is an important consideration with all garden products. Third, the small fruit garden must be so arranged in fairly long rows as to be cultivated with horse power and support for black raspberries.
A SUPPORT FOR HEAVY RASPBERRIES.
Otherwise cared for with a minimum amount of effort. The small plant should be planted on the farm's front, on individual circuits and the likes and dislikes of the family to be provided for, but always the one will want currant, gooseberry, blackberry, red and black raspberries, and of course, gooseberries, as well as grapes, which, while not classed as small fruits, still come in as part of the fruit garden.
The rows of cannard bush fruits should be made oirt feet apart, where the number of rows occasional provision should be made for a wider space for the passage of a wagon in spraying getting out brush, etc. To get it wide enough for this purpose, in large plantations every fourth space should be a wedge one. Currants and gooseberries should be planted four feet apart the rowberries and blackberries three feet and grapes eight feet. The quantity of each to be planted must be decided entirely by the size of the fruit and preferences.
If the planting is in a row is 244 feet, accommodate twelve gooseberries and twenty-four currants. Of raspberries and blackberries, forty-eight can be placed in a row. Raspberries and blackberries, blackberries, blackberries and grapes, which can be supplied to ordinary families, would use the product of twice this quantity.
Breeding plants said just now in farming presuppose primes and not which they can be obtained. On this account now is the time to round and add cannard bush fruits mainly because of so high. Another reason is that because of high prices, selling off faster than for some years and this is is a short time to sure high prices.
One can found or add to the swine hord excellent swine bogs nearly pork prices, and such a time is the one which to make ready for a good hog crop next season, especially when it is true that so much of the breeding stock is going to the pork market to sell the corn. The reader will call similar conitions as now exist when during one year from harvest, and the next year from hundred pounds, and the next season's crop sold at $50 to $10.

A pn" t'aNiT SUNDAY SERMON BY,
(+ THE REV, W. H. MIMASTER.
Theme: The Gospel.
~ Brooklyn, N. ¥.—The Rev, W. A.
MeMaster, pastor of Embury’ Memo-
rial M. E. Church, bas been holdig
special evangelistic services for some
time, which have been most success-
ful. In connection with these services
he preached, Sunday morning, on
“The Gospel’ as the Philosophy of
History.” The text was from Acts
12:26: “To you fs the word of this
salvation sent.” Mr: MeMaster sad:
This direct announcement is from
the first recorded missiopary address
of St. Paul. He and Barnabas bad
only recently started from Antioch in
Syria, upon their first missionary
tour. Barnabas. perhaps a convert
of Peatecost, had been sent to take
charge of tho great revival In Anti-
ock, which ‘had broken out simulta-
neously with Peter's opening the door
of Christianity at Caesarea, and ad-
mitting, by baptism, Cornellus and
his family, the first Gentile converts
to Christianity. This action of Peter
was a great and significant fnnova-
tlon. He certainly was using the
keys which our Lord had given him.
‘This revival at Antioch was a revival
among the Gentiles, and the work
was growing to such an extent that
Barnabas must have help, and he
thought of Paul, a man he had met
in Jerusalem some eight yeare ve-
fore, and though the Jews made it
so hot for Paul that Barnabas had
Known him but two weeks, he be-
Meved that Paul was the man of the
hour, He went to Tarsus, where Paul
had" been obscurely working and
waiting for eight years—how long
God makes some of His servants wait
but now the man was ready and
the times were ripe, and when the
Church of Antloch, hero for the first
time called “Christian,” decided in
true mfsslonary spirit ‘to send_mes-
sengers of the great salvation to the
Gentiles, Paul stands at last face to
face with the world he {s to conquer.
To show you the elements which
make up this world which Paul faces,
I take you to the Isle of Cyprus, thelr
first halting-place, and which, strange
to say, presents in miniature the
gteat world with which | —istlanity
must cope. Paphos, the “ef town,
swas the seat of ‘the worship of
Venus, the goddess of love, who was
"said to have been born of the foam
of the sea at this very spot, and her
worship was carried on with the wild-
est Heentiousness. It was a pleture
4n miniature of Greece sunk in moral
decay.” Beauty divorced from mor-
ality Was the outcome of Greek art
and: culture. "Paphos was also the
seat of the Roman Goverament, ard
in the proconsular chalr sat a man,
Serelus Pqulus, whose noble charac-
ter dut utter lack of falth formed a
companion picture of tke inability
of Rome at that epoch to meet the
Ceepest necessities cf her best sons”
Jn this came court was a Jewish sor-
cere> and quacx, named Elrmas,
whose playing by his arts upon the
inquirer’s credulity was a picture of
the depths to which the Jewish char-
acter could sink.
Paul, representing the Gospel of
Christ,” entered this situation. He
govered the Jewish magician with
disgrace, converted the Roman gov-
ernor, and founded fn the town a
Christian church in opposition to the
Greek shrine. Leaving Cyprus, let
us now hasten to Antioch in Pisidia,
their first halting place in the fn-
terler of Asia Minor, where a typical
scene occurs which, because it is typ
Seal, we shall describe. In the light
of history the coming of Paut and
Barnebas to a town was the most sis-
nificant event and worthy to be
marked by processions and a gors-
eous reception; but how different the
reality. These two walk into Anti-
och as any two strangers would come
into Brooklyn. First they find a
Jodging, and then they look for work.
Imagine Paul going from door to door
of tentmakers inquiring for work.
On the Sabbath Day they go to the
sypagogite and join in the psalms
and prayers and listen to the law
(perhaps the first chapter of Deuter-
onomy), and to the prophets (ner-
Traps the first of Isaiah). Then the
ruler of the synagogue turns to the
strangers and asks them if they have
any word of exhortation to the peo-
ple. This is Paul's opportunity. He
arises, and, beckoning attention with
his hand, launctes upon the sea of
Hebrew ‘history, suggested by the
Jaw, and explains the fulfillment of
Isalah in Jesus Christ, and declares
“To you Is the word of this salvation,
sent.”” The péople gather about him
after the assembly is dismissed and
beg him to come back next Sundas.
“He explains the gospel to Ingufrers
as he works through the week, and
on the next Sabbath almost te whole
elty assembles to hear him; but when
he declares that this salvation ts for
the Gentiles, the Jews grow jealous
and soon stir up persecution and
compel them to leave the town, Thus,
while his great mission was to preach
the gospel, his great barrier was
‘Jewish exclusiveness and his calet
‘Wes ever more hold {n its assertion of
God in history. To the speaker, his-
tory wes not chaotic, with no purposo
or goal; not an eddying current, but
a great Gulf Stream, flowing on ‘with
gathering momentum and speed to-
ward a “far off and divine event.”
The histoty was progressive, evolu-
tlofary, and. the goal of evolution ts
freedom in tho Kingdom of God.
“The law"—what was that but t!
necessary objectlye stamlard In the
old times of compulsion and force,
Dut now In the freedom of love ab-
sorbed In Christ, who is the end of
the Jaw to every one that believeth,
and to bring us to Christ, the law as
a schoolmaster was ordained.
| The prophets! What were they
‘but the awakening of visions as the
nsuticteney, of law became manifest
and the declaring and promising on
@ivine authority a great incarnation
of suffering, aténing love, who sould
be the fulfilling of all the law and
the prophets? All the promises and
prophecies of Israel's history aro de-
clared fulfilled in the coming of Jesus
Christ.
And now I arrive at tho second
great proposition: 2. Jesus Christ
is the centre of human history, ful-
{filling its law and prophecy, and-fur-
nishing the type-man and’ liberator
‘of all humanity. Let me quote Dr.
Martinsen: “The perfect revelation
of the wonder-working Providence
‘of God ts presented in tho incarnate
‘Logos, in the world-redeeming, soul-
saving manifestation of God In Christ,
Human history finds its centre, its
true meaning, in tho revelation of
Jesus Christ. ’It is only in the light
whieh comes from Him, that humun-
‘ty can look back upon’a past which
fs full of meaning, ean Iook forward
to a future full of promise, and ean
contemplate {ts development as an
organic whole Human history,
‘which moves on apart from Christ,
‘without desire for, or belief in Him,
‘knows nelther beginning nor end—{t
fs objectless, it has no centre.”
| Now, wo ‘have been looking over
Jarge areas and asserting vast gen-
‘eralizations. We have discovered a
philosophy of history, that it has ‘a
purpose which fs redémptional, that
ft has a goal which 1s freedom, that
it has a centre and head which ts
Christ, that is has a glorious consum-
mation in the future which is tho
Kingdom of Christ and God. 1 want
now to remind you that’God governs
the mass by governing the atom; that
He swings the currents of history as
He fs able to control the individuals.
What, we have read writ large in hu-
man history, cai? we not read In our
own individual lives? Is there not a
philosophy of your personal history?
May not some key of spiritual sis-
nificance be applied to the puzzling
ezperlences of your life and unlock
the hidden meaning? As the Gospel
4s the reveiation of God’s redemption-
al purpose in history and as Christ 1s
its centre, so the whole of your life
will fail Of meaning and interpreta
tation until you view it in this light.
Were you born amid Bibles and Sun-
day sehcols, and pastors and teach-
era? What for in God's providence
but to learn of His will concerning
you? Were your first coiscious
Views centered in the starry eyes of

over as a starry firmament? What
was {t but to elicit your smile and to
tezeh you love? Have you struggled
with imystery and battled with pas-
ston? What for but to develop your’
strength? Have ybu been afflicted?
‘What for but to scourge, you back to
God? Have you been defeated, and
has the burden of sin rested like a
load on your conscience? What for
but to driye you to the cross of Christ,
where kneeling fn penitence, His

Have rou been believed and have you
refused to be comforted? What does
it mean but that you should take that
Yonely aching heart to Him who alone
can heal it and fill its depths which
He has reserved for Himself alone?
“To you is the word of this salva-
tion sent.” This is my third point.
‘This salvation ts for you. It inter-
prets your past, it opens up your fut-
ure, It makes’ the past full of Gad’s
patient seeking and beckoning love
for your heert, Won't you embrace
Christ as your All in Ail this morn-
ing, and find in Him remission of aii
your sins, and treedom.from its pow-
er? “Whom the Son makes, free is
free indeed.” This battle against sin
is the greatest battle of all for free-
dom, and Christ {s its Champion and
the Great Emancipator. It is through
Him and His loyal servants in his-
tory that you have freedom of the
Gospel, freedom of conscience, of
Knowtedge, of speech and of press, of
ody, of nation, Will you not accept
the great¥alvation with its inner per-
sonal freedom from the pawer of sin
and Satan? He is the Good Shepherd
and He fs seeking you. “He will seek
until He finds.” Yes, and He desires
not only Zo find you, but to carry you
with allf your bruises and burdens,
and establish you in the fold of His
church, giving you relations to it and
fitting you into His eternal kingdom,
which is the final consummation of
all things.

“WHAT WIFE SAYS “GOES,”
But It Sometimes is Bad For the
Painting, =“
When o propertyqwner knows
nothing about paint lt fs pad for the
property-owner, and bad for the
painter. It would not be so if the
property-owner would always hire a
skilled painter and then really leave
everything to him. But the house-
owner 50 often fools himself on one
or the other of these things.
‘The skilled painter in every com-
munity has some 6f the most {ncom-
petent competitors that ever vexed a
conscientious workman or contractor,
and the incompetents get jobs gener-
ally by working cheap. In the next
place, when the skilled painter is
hired, they do not leave everything
to’ him, as so many property-owners
boast they do.
They interfere most fgnorantly and
most fatally. They Insist sometimes
on using paint materlals without in-
vestigating whether they’are good or
not. Or perhaps they insist.on the
painter's hurryjug the work.
“I'm not going to have this painter's
mess “round my house a moath,” the
wife says, and what wife says soes—

Daughters of Confederacy to Erect it at Andersonville.
CAUSE OF GREAT DISSENSION
In the Ranks of the Daughters in Georgia—Vote Stood Andersonville 125, Macon 65, Americus 5.
Atlanta, Ga.—By a vote of 125 to 70, the Georgia division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy decided on Andersonville as the location for the monument to Captain Wirt, having reshaded its former action in voting the monument to Richmond, Va.
The final decision to erect the shaft on the site of the prison where Capt. Wirt, C. S. A., was commandant during the civil war, was reached after stormy session. The vote stood as follows: Andersonville, 125; Macon, 65; Americus, 5.
Thus ends a matter which has caused great dissension in the ranks of the Daughters in this state. The special session of the Georgia division held here was called in response to numerous protests from chapters in all parts of the state against the action at the Savannah convention in voting the monument to a city without the state.
A special appeal, signed by the mayor and prominent citizens of Andersonville, was read to the convention urging that the monument be located there.
GREAT SOUTHERN MUSICAL FESTIVAL
Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra One of the Many Features.
Atlanta, Ga.—The Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra from Dresden, Germany, has recently arrived in this country, and will be heard at the Great Southern Music Festival in Atlanta next May 4th, 5th and 6th. It is composed of seventy men, some of whom have been playing together for thirty-five years. It contains fifteen first violins, ten second violins and a corresponding number of wood and wind instruments, with horns, drums and cymbals. The Dresden Orchestra was the one that first played Wagner's great compositions.
Tickets for these performances will cost from $1 to $2 each, according to the location of the seat. A season ticket for the arena will be $7.50 for the five performances, and the same price i n the dress circle. Balcony seats will be $5 per season ticket for the five performances. Boxes containing four seats will cost $40 and those containing six seats $60 for the entire series of concerts.
MILITARY FUND HAS REVERTED.
Atlanta, Ga.—An unexpended balance of the state military fund appropriated by the legislature, amounting to $33,597.72, has reverted back to the state treasury.
The fund in question includes $47,211.06 appropriated by the legislature in 1907 for the purchase of certain equipment for the state troops to prepare them for service under the terms of the Dick bill. Governor Smith has never permitted the use of this money for the purpose stated, presumably because he considered that sufficient equipment had been supplied by the general government. The remainder of the amount reverted is an unexpended balance of the military fund for the year 1907, which was not used prior to July 1, 1908.
The troops, however, are not left without funds. They had on January 1, 1909, an unexpended balance of $13,934.07 of the 1908 fund, which is available until July 1 next, and also until August 1, and of the current year, making a total of nearly $39,000 for the current year's expenses.
NEED OF INDUSTRIAL TRAINING.
The Davis Bill to Aid Industrial Education.
A strong effort is being made to pass the Davil bill through congress during the extra session.
The bill gives each state annually, beginning in 1909, 1 cent per capita for the proper training of teachers to give technical instruction. This would give Georgia about $25,000 annually. Beginning 1911 nations grants of 10 cents per capita for aid in establishing city and rural technical high schools, to include instruction in practical agriculture, industrial sciences and oils and domestic subjects. This latter appropriation will give to Georgia /about $250,000 annually for secondary- industrial schools. Let every Georgian write to his congressman and senator to support this bill. It will make possible the full development of our district agricultural opment of our district agricultural schools, as well as industrial features in our county high schools and city high schools. This bill is sure to pass in time. It is but a continuation of the agricultural college grants to secondary schools. The development of our district agricultural schools lead 'to the introduction of this bill.
The educational leaders in every county and town should begin to prepare for this industrial training. They should have the buildings ready and the local support guaranteed. The constitution does not forbid districts, towns or counties from taxing themselves for high schools. The state may not aid them, however.—J. S. Stewart, Athens, Ga.
-BIG COTTON MILL FOR MANCHESTER.
Contract Awarded for $600,000 Mill.
20,000 Spindles.
Manchester, Ga. — A new $600,000 cotton mill, turning 20,000 spindles and employing 500 persons, will go up in Manchester within a short time. The contract for the 'mill buildings and 420 cottages for employees has been let, 'and work will begin' at once. The new mill will bring an added population of fully 1,500 persons to the growing town of Manchester.
STATE GLEANINGS.
That Georgians are a music loving people is shown by the fact that people from one of the state to the other have reserved seats to the Great Southern Musical Festival to be held in Atlanta next May 4th, 5th and 6th. The Auditorium in which the festival will take place is capable of seating nearly 8,000. A good portion of these seats have already been taken. This rush is due partly to the remarkably low price of the season tickets, but largely to the worldwide fame of the various singers and performers who will take part in each of the five concerts.
Trustees of the Georgia-Fruit Exchange estimate that the total yield of peaches in the Georgia territory this season will be 4,000 cars at the maximum or from 3,560 to 4,000 cars as a conservative estimate. This would be about 75 per cent of last year's yield. There has been some damage all through the state to the extremely early varieties as a result of heavy rains last week. A. O. Murphy, a large grower of Barnesville, says that the crop in his vicinity was damaged about 10 per cent by cold weather in February. The trustees, however, say that the recent cold snap did no damage, and while the rains hurt the early varieties in some cases, they did not affect the Elberta and other staple shipping varieties. The frost line did not extend below Barnesville, and the growers reported that the blooms in the northern section were not far enough advanced to be injured. The outlook, barring abnormal conditions, is for a normal crop and the growers are greatly encouraged.
Governor Hoke Smith and Mrs. Smith left for New York. The governor goes to attend the annual banquet of the democrats of western New York, at which he is scheduled to make the principal address. Before the banquet at Buffalo, the governor will appear before the board of trustees of the Peabody fund in New York to perfect all arrangements for the donation of $50,000 which it is confidently expected the board will make for the erection of a teachers' building at the University of Georgia. Atlanta's postal receipts, we now running ahead, of those of New Orleans with gratifying regularity. For the month of February the receipts of New Orleans fell off $3,500 as compared to the same month of last year. Those of Atlanta increased a like amount. The receipts of Atlanta for last month, were $73,476.97. Those of New Orleans were $72,928.91. For the month of February the receipts of Louisville surpassed those of Atlanta by about $3,000.
The large dam at the Folds Mill, near Newbern, was swept away by the recent heavy floods. This was doubledress the oldest dam in the state, as it has been traced back for more than 150 years. The wood frame was built before nails were known, the frame being put together with wooden pins. A wall of rock fifteen feet wide was built just below this, which kept the wood entirely under water and was finally covered with sand.
Threatened with the prospect of having to take charge on April 1 of convicts without a stitch of clothing on their backs, the authorities of several counties in the state have appealed to the prison commission to require the present convict lessees to provide the convicts with clothes when they are turned over to the counties at the expiration of the lease system. The request of the county authorities has met with favor at the hands of the commission and that body has ruled that the convict lessees must not turn over the convicts to the counties as nature made them, but that they must provide each of them with a new suit of stripes without spot or blemish. The lessees, when they received their convicts originally, found most of them in rags. They threw away the rags and bought them new clothes, consisting of a suit of the regulation convict stripes. "New," reason the lessees, "we found them without clothing, and it is not meet that we should be required to furnish them with good ralment upon their departure when we lose their services for all time." But the prison commission has decreed to the contrary and when the counties receive their convicts on the morning of April 1 they will be found clothed with good, substantial clothing.
State Treasurer R. E. Park has received from Chairman J. S. Turner of the prison commission of Georgia a letter in which he' states that the $57,371 remaining from the hire of convicts can be distributed among those counties not now using convicts. It is believed, however, the next quarterly payment due about April 1, will be retained 'to pay the operating expenses of the new prison system, which begins on that date. Governor Smith has returned to the prison commission its report recommending the purchase of the Wimberly farm in Twiggs county, with the request that the commission make further inquiry as to certain other places on which the prices originally quoted have been reduced since announcement of the commission's recommendation. The governor's action is not a disapproval of the commission's choice, but it appears to be his idea to get, if possible, a still better bargain for the state.
Announcement comes from quarters which, while not official, are considered, wholly reliable, that the Albany, Southwestern and Gulf Railway will positively be built, and that work of construction will be under way by the time summer is fairly started. The Albany, Southwestern and Gulf will be built from Albany southward to St. Andrews Bay. That the trial judge must sign his own bill of exceptions, though he may have surrendered his office and his successor may be on the bench, is decided by the state court of appeals in Scott vs the State. Every teacher in the state of Georgia is to receive a profile map of the state, as secured through the railroad commission of Georgia sufficient numbers for each teacher in the county were sent to the county school commissioner of that county with a blue print, to be retained by the county school commissioner himself.

Mrs. Taft to Make White House a Home
Plans Divorcement of the President's Official Business From His Private Residence--Uniformed Police Gone--Housekeeper Replaces Steward and Negro Footmen Are Doorkeepers.
Washington, D. C.—Mrs. William Howard Taft, "first lady of the land," has assumed duties without public ceremony or oath of office which, in weight of responsibilities, magnitude of importance, delicacy, of execution and lack of compensation, have no comparison.
President Taft is charged under his oath with "executing the office of President." Mrs. Taft is charged, without oath, of administering the oath and domestic affairs of the White House. Mrs. Taft will be required these requirements primarily by means of her long experience in public life. She is in full possession of the detailed requirements of her position, has reached her own conclusions, and is already making the minor changes in the administration of the executive mansion necessary to meet her own ideas.
that had again gathered at the doors and on the sidewalk to see him emerge, and with his brother sauntered quietly up Fourthreet street. For some distance a hundred or so of his admirers followed, but they eventually dropped off one by one.
President Roosevelt always caught the crowds on his way to and from church. His rapid gait, and the difficulty the Secret Service men had to keep pace with him always served to Taft the attention of passers-by. Mrs. Taft ceased to talk replacely, observed all the conventionalities and altogether was a disappointment.
It was noticed that the two Secret Service agents who kept close to the President wore the conventional frock coat and silk hat which is the distinctive garb of the service operatives. President Roosevelt never insisted upon this, and as a result the men
The addition of the executive office building permits of an entire divorcement of the official business of the President from the White House proper, and this is to be availed of to the full extent. That the main entrance of the White House may present as near as possible the appearance of a private residence, the uniformed police officers and frock-coated doorkeepers have been eliminated, and in their place are negro footmen in livery. For safety an officer is retained on duty in the miniature office room inside the main entrance, and another on the second floor of the mansion. The rights of the public are recognized by the malutence of the hour frocked from until 1 o'clock, when admission is granted through the east entrance to the historic East Room and the parlors of the mansion. Mrs. Tatt has abolished the position of steward, and will conduct her domestic arrangements through a woman housekeeper.
While the season of prescribed official dinners is over, it may be predicted that the new tenant of the White House will conduct a series of informal social functions during the special/session of Congress which will bring renewed animation and social life to the sedate and sombre structure during the first few months of the Taft regime.
President Taft surprised churchgoers by walking democratically to services at All Souls' Church. He was accompanied by his brother, Charles P. Taft. The crowd of curious that he gathered the officiant of the new President were expecting him to arrive in an automobile, and the President and party were at the doors of the church before the expectant throng realized that the Chief Executive had walked through the crowd without being recognized.
There was no demonstration along the street or at the church. When the services were over the President elbowed his way through the crowd
Chicago.—"Feminine deceit is all right. Love privacy is all right. Keep your husband loving you by any hook or crook. But for heaven's sake don't go to bed with a quarter of an inch of cold cream on your face to tip him off on how you keep beautiful."
These pregnant thoughts were vouchsafed 300 of Chicago's wives and mothers at the Music Hall, Fine Arts Building, by Mme Hame, matrimonial philosopheres to the Windy City's Smart Set.
"I don't care what method a woman uses to make her husband think she's prettier than she let her be. she succeeds in that and holds her. she succeeds in cosmetics are the real agent of morality."

vard a surplus of $26,091.10 in receipts over expenditures in all lines of Harvard athletics is shown by the report for the college year 1907-08. The total receipts were $127,318.44 and the total expenditures $101,227.34. The total net surplus exceeds by $14,450 the surplus of the previous year, the gain being due in part to increased receipts from football and baseball and in part also to a saving on football coaching and the training table.

President Roosevelt always caught the crowds on his way to and from church. His rapid gait, and the difficulty the Secret Service men had to keep pace with him always served to attract the attention of passers-by. Mr. Taft declined to walk too rapidly, observed all the conventionalities and altogether was a disappointment.
It was noticed that the two Secret Service agents who kept close to the President wore the conventional frock coat and silk hat which the distinctions of the Secret Service officers, President Roosevelt never insisted upon this, and as a result the men who, watched over him arrayed themselves as they saw fit. The change is taken to mean that President Taft proposes to maintain a more dignified establishment than his free-and-easy predecessor.
After Sunday luncheon the President bestrode Sterret, his newly acquired horse, purchased :t Hot Springs, Va., and with General Clarence R. Edwards, his military aid; Captain Archibald Butt and ex-President Roosevelt's orderly, McDermott, went for a twelve-mile ride over the newly constructed Potomac speedway. Automobiles will be almost the exclusive method of locomotion of President Taft and his family. The White House automobile will have the right of way throughout the District of Columbia and will know no speed limit.
Two fine new automobiles already have been purchased with the $12,000 appropriated by Congress for this purpose, and Mr. Taft has given them a thorough trial. One is a good weather machine, a big touring car with detachable top, and painted in dark green of three shades. This will be the one most used by the President. The other car has a limousine body painted black, and was purchased for the use of Mrs. Taft. Both bear on each door the official coat of arms of the United States. The other charge of men sort from the factories, who will turn the machines over to the White House head chauffeur, who will receive $100 a month. He will have one assistant. The White House garage will be in the present stables. Besides the two automobiles they will quarter seven horses, which will be at the disposal of Secretary Carpenter and his assistants, or may be used by the Tafts.
The only horses which will be used by President Taft and his family will be the new saddle horse recently purchased in Virginia for the use of the President and any saddle horses required by the other members of his family.

"Women ought to keep their husbands guessing all the time—just as the coy girl of romance plays hide and seek with the grande passion, until she has her sweetheart groveling and trembling lest the 'Yes' she has secretly meant to say from the start won't be said at all.
"Here's the secret of keeping a husband. Stay beautiful and don't let the male half know the reason. Also, don't eat too much. Given the ald of modern corsets and lacings, the American wife is indefensible if her husband deserts her because she has grown fat."
Finally Gets $1,000,000.
San Bernardino, Cal.-Harry Parsons, a desert miner, aged seventy-five years, left San Bernardino for Philadelphia to visit relatives whom he has not seen for fifty years. He goes back with a fortune estimated at $1,000,000, which he will share with his relatives. One of these is a sister, who, when he failed to find gold in California in 1849, gave him all she had, a little more than $500, to continue his prospecting. He amassed his fortune within the last four years.
Among the Masons.
As stated before, we have sent out the calls and blanks to every lodge of record in the state. We have requested any lodge that has failed to have received one to notify the Grand, Secretary, who will take pleasure in forwarding same. The suspension list will be published the first of April. It is important that each lodge take notice of this fact. Let every lodge prepare to make a big report next month, and be sure to send the reports in on time. The Grand Master has been able to secure rates this year for the Grand Lodge session. Let each delegate secure a certificate when the ticket is purchased. This will be the saving of many a dollar to us. Every department of the Grand Lodge is doing full service. Now, let each lodge do likewise. There must be no drones; let everybody do his duty.
Beware of the strangers who are always visiting the lodges. Investigate well before you admit them in your meetings.
Going to the relief of others who may be in need or distress forms a large part of religion. It is the outgrowth of love to God and obedience to His will, and develops that love and is the means of generating the same. Every really charitable word, thought, and deed puts one in a better frame of mind and heart. —George W. Baird, District of Columbia.
Frederick Speed of Mississippi is of the opinion that it is quality which makes a lodge good or bad. He says, "You don't want a man in your lodge that you can't take home with you, that you can't take home with you." It might be well for all of us to consider this when recommending a man for the degrees.—Illinois Freemason.
MUST WORK MASONICALLY.
The initiate, upon his entrance, soon discovers, if, indeed, he is a man of sound body and mind, that Masonry deals with matters of vastly more importance to him than petty self-interest or aggrandizement. He is taught that a real purpose of admitting him was that he might be encouraged in first recognizing God in all. Secondly, Humanity as God's family, and finally, himself as a servant to both of them. He discovers another fact; that Masonry, far from being a playground, is a preparatory field for the real and lasting labors of life, and that if he would remain loyal to her precepts, he, too, must work—William Henry Talmage.
THE CULTIVATED·MASON.
We are told in our Masonic charges that a man with a well stored mind is never alone. How beautiful is the thought that wherever we may be, among our friends or among strangers, that we can have a store of knowledge from which we derive instimable pleasures and blessings. Ignorance has no lofty motives. Ignorance engenders no noble aspirations. Ignorance seeks no company that will exalt our lives or brighten our pathway. Ignorance has no hope and in no instance proves a blessing to mankind. A well cultivated mind will bring you rich and rare pleasures and sweet reflections when the years have slipped away and you shall have become sobersided and confined in your habits of life.—W. H. Bumpas.
The principles of Freemasonry in every age and nation remain the same, unchanged by the vicissitudes of humility. This fraternity of ours remains unchanged in any of its substantial forms; and from the time of the establishment of the old York Lodge, the declarations and prohibitions of that body have remained firm and stable to this day. That the landmarks shall not be changed as vehemently demanded now as in any period of our history.—George R. Orlady, Grand Master, Pennsylvania.
Concerning Divine Limitations;
In 1880 we moved west. The land was the same everywhere—not a rock in sight. I expect my little boy was wishing he could have someone to play with; at any rate, he left his trench-digging and came into the house with a very sober little face. "Mamma, can God do everything?"
"Yes."
"Everything He has a mind to?"
"Yes, everything."
"Is there anything He can't 'dq?"
"No; everything is possible with God."
"Could He make a rock so big He couldn't lift it, mamma?"
What could I say?—The Dellineator.
Her Diagnosis Correct.
Louise was just four years old when one day she came to her mother and sald, "Mother dear, 'Use so' nervous!"
Her mother, 'believing the child was repeating words she had heard some, older person say, told her to run on and play—that she was too young to be nervous. But Louise insisted, and her mother finally asked her how, it felt to be nervous. She answered, drawing her little shoulders up and clinching her fists tightly, "I des feel in a hurry all over me."'—The Delineator.
He Needed Help.
Little Harry startled his nurse the other night as he finished his evening prayers by saying: "God bless papa and mamma and Margaret and us boys; and—and—God, please make me strong like the big bear in the park, 'cause I got to lick' Charlie White' in the mornin'—The Delineator.
Plans Given Cut Also Include Connecting Roads With Every County Seat.
The first full particulars of the proposed Applan Way along the coast line of New Jersey and through the interior were given out by the committee of prominent citizens which is working on the project in conjunction with Governor Fort.
The intention is for the State to take over a line of highways running through the various counties, to be called the "Ocean Boulevard," and also to establish by the State a highly finished connecting system of highways, such as the old Romans had in Europe, stretching from one county seat to another.
From Atlantic Highlands, the extreme northern section of the route, to Cape May, the extreme southern section, is about 127 miles. Most of this route is already improved. Comparatively little remains to be done; in fact less than twenty-five miles. All the county townscan be connected, by 745 miles of roads—of which distance only 169 miles are-at this time unimproved.
Sweeping the base of the gravel hills at Atlantic Highlands, the Ocean Boulevard will pass through, the Rumson Neck district and meet the coast at- Seabright. From Long Branch the road will run within a stone's throw of the Ocean through Elberon, Deal Beach and Allenhurst into Asbury Park. A circuit is made at Ocean Grove, the road again meeting the coast at Bradley Beach. It then continues south through Avon, across Shark River into Belmar and from there to Sea Girt, where another circuit is made in order to avoid the State military shooting ranges, extending through Como and Spring Lake.
The road extends from Sea Girt through Manasquan and across the Manasquan River to Point Pleasant. From there it is proposed to continue directly along the coast to Bay Head, Mantoloking and Sea Side Park, crossing the Toms River inlet at that point to the mainland at Bayville. From that point the road continues to Waretown, Manahawkin, Tuckorton, New Gretna, Pleasantville, with in sight of Atlantic City, and from there in an almost straight line to Cape May Court House and Cape May City.
Leaving the Old Home.
The pathos that surrounds the emigrant is not always fully realized. Down in Morehel, Ariz, there lives a bright-eyed Italian boy who came to America three years ago. In his broken English, he wrote for his teacher the following description of his leave-taking of the fatherland:
Two year ago I left my country and frent in Italy for come here in this desert, but when I ready to departure I cannot say one little leetle word.
One old woman call Mary, it was in a mornin that we leave it, she says in a night before we was goin to bed, she say to my mother, "Goot-pye! Goot-pye! I tell goot-pye now because I don't want see your departure. Now then I say goot-pye a hunder times. I will meet you in sky."
She cannot fennish to say goot-pye. So in mornin my mother sent me and her door lock with a key and I hear her cry too much. Each one then kiss all. My Uncle Pete was cryin and I says to him, "Goot-pye! If I don't see you in this world any more I sure will see you in other," and I repled these words to all my frents.
My Uncle when we was in Genoa 'the place where the shep begin to go, he do all the same of baby, cryin and cryin, but it was too late to make we stay in our country. I say to him, "Courage! some day I be pich, then I come back to Italy and we necessary not work but sit, all day and have very much money." Then the shep begin to go and I get my hat, and handkerchief to fly, and all the people too much cry.
Couldn't Scare Him.
A Denver man who rents his motorcar by the trip or hour-was seated in the machine with a friend, waiting for business, on a downtown corner, yesterday afternoon, when a young couple from the country came up. It was plain to be seen they were bride and groom. The young man from the country said they had just arrived from Central Kansas and wanted to see Denver. He arranged, for the motor car man to take them for an hour's trip and paid the charges in advance. The country couple took the back seat. The driver's friend sat in the front seat with him.
"I am going to have some fun," said the driver in a low tone to his friend. "I'm going to run fast and scare those hayseeds."
He ran to the east edge of town and then let the machine out to the limit. It rocked and jumped till the driver's friend became alarmed.
"Say," he said, "you'd better ease up on it or you'll kill us all."
"Look around and see if the bride and groom are scared," was the reply.
Before the other man could turn and look the Kansas farmer touched the driver on the shoulder.
"Hey, feller," he said, here's another dollar. Make her run fast, will you?"—Denver Post.
"A foot" measure varies in China from eleven inches to fifteen inches. Each district has its own foot rule, its pounds and its pecks. An effort is now being made to introduce a uniform system.
