DAN SULLY TALKS OF KING COTTON TIME TO EMANCIPATE FARMER Through the Possession of Cotton South Should Dominate Civilization Within the Next Twenty-Five Years. Atlanta, Ga.—"Twenty-five years from now the south should, in all probability will, absolutely dominate civilization. Cotton, crude and manufactured, will be the all-powerful and all-sufficient factor in that domination." This is the calm, unmotional and measured prophecy of Daniel J. Sully—"Dan" Sully, one of the biggest bulls, certainly the most spectacular "bull," in the wonderful and, variegated history of cotton. Mr. Sully is in Atlanta for a visit. Introducing "Dan" Sully to the average reader would be to perpetrate a superfurious. His was the initiating genius and the engineering skill and concentration that, several years ago, took cotton to 17 cents a pound, the top-notch price since the civil war. Absolute king of the cotton market during that memorable and fevered campaign, he kept a cool and sensitive finger on the pulse of the greatest industry in America. "The southern cotton farmer," said Mr. Sully, "must first wake up his mind to the naked fact that Providence has gifted him with the greatest monopoly in history. "The nations might dispense with every other American product; deprive them of cotton, and you would precipitate world-wide panic and starvation. "It is the soul of industry, life itself, over the entire globe. Once the man who produces it gets this idea firmly fixed in his mind, he must see that he is at present almost wholly at the mercy of the intermediaries in marketing his output and securing an adequate and legitimate return for his labor. He must next realize with sufficient vividness to give motive-power to his energy, that the emancipating force must come from within himself. Organized endeavor and co-operation are imperative, in the last analysis, to the striking of the shackles from the farmer. I am confident both will be forthcoming. "I do not regard foreign competition in the raising of cotton seriously. I venture to predict that within 20 years 50 per cent of the mills of the land will be located in the southern states. "American capital will also be abundantly available. We are piling up new wealth, creating big surpluses, in this country each year in a wealth, many of these surpluses, will wonderful manner. Much of this new come into cotton mills in the southern states. New England has already perceived the situation. Much New England money is now in the southern states. "A conservative estimate would put it that the enormous sum of $500,000,000 is turned in the direction of the south. As soon as its custodians here become assured of the permanence and safety of their new investments, as soon as they can get their bearings, so to speak, this money will begin to flow into your section. The eyes of the investing world are on the south today." "Joker" in Revenue Laws Got That Amount From Tobacco Consumers. Washington, D. C.—What is designated as a "joker" that cost the consumers of tobacco in this country nearly $45,000,000, was found in the existing revenue laws of the United States by Representative Dawson of Iowa, who at once introduced a bill to correct the error. Under the Dingley tariff law, the two-ounce packages of tobacco sell to the consumer at 5 cents each, and the four-ounce packages at 10 cents. In 1898, a war revenue of 6 cents a pound additional was levied on tobacco. At the same time, in order to serve the convenience of the trade, authorization was given for the reduction of the sizes of packages from 2, 3 and 4 ounces to 1 2-3, 2 1-2 and 3 1-3 ounces, thus enabling the smoker to procure a 5-cent and a 10-cent package of tobacco "at the store." In due time the war revenue tax was repealed. Somebody forgot, Mr. Dawson believes, to restore the packages of tobacco to the original sizes, and hence ever since 1902 the consumer of tobacco has been paying the equivalent of the previous tax to the manufacturers of tobacco. The representative Dawson figures out that the purchaser of each small package has been mulled out of a cent, and the purchaser of the larger of 2 cents, and hence the "joker" has, cost the consumer almost $45,000,000. President Nash Replies to Senator Taliaferro of Florida. Savannah, Ga.-E. S. Nash, president of the American Naval Stores Company, has written an open letter to Senator Taliaferro of Florida, in answer to the statesman's speech on the floor of the senate recently attacking Mr. Nash's company. He accuses the senator of having received large dividends from the Atlantic Investment Company, a concern which was declared to be in restraint of trade, and gives pictures of the checks used in paying these dividends. It is charged that the senator remained in the company until he was made to withdraw involuntarily. VOL. XXIV. TOUK $45,000,000 DOUBLE DEALING CHARGED. The FOLK-PREDICTS WAR. Says Continent of North America Will Become One Republic. Asheville, N. C.—That the whole of the North American continent will eventually become one great republic, under the government what the United States was, the prediction made by former Governor Joseph W. Folk of Missouri in an interview in Asheville, Governor Folk declared that a clash between the United States and Canada is inevitable, and that it will come in the not distant future is his belief. The great influx of Americans into the grain field and the region of southwest Canada, each carrying with him his natural allegiance to the United States, is the leaven which, he thinks, eventually must cause the clash between the United States and her sister country on the north. HILITARY PRISON DESTROYED By Fire; Convicts at Fort Leavens, worth Were in Terror Leavenworth, Kan—The military prison at Fort Leavenworth was destroyed by fire. The prisoners were removed from the cell houses under a heavy guard of United States troops and conned in a stockade. The fire broke out in the tailor shop, and soon it was seen that the ma's building was doomed. A great outcry at once broke out in the prison, the convicts fearing that they would be burned to death. They battered on the doors of their cells as the light of the fire streamed through the windows. Many screamed in terror as the authorities for the moment refused to remove them. A strong cordon of troops was thrown about the prison and every precaution was taken to prevent escapes. All the soldiers that could be spared from the ranks of the firengenters were detailed as guards, and then the delivery of the prisoners was begun. When the bolts of the cell house doors were shot back the flames had reached the main building. If everything had not been done in perfect order lives doubtless would have been lost. The prison building was valued at $200,000. TO DESTROY AIR-WAR FLEETS. Lewis Nixon Has Invented Shots Flame, That Strike. New York City.—"The aerial war fleet of which we hear so much, theoretically, is doomed before it has had a real start," said Lewis Nixon, inventor and shipbuilder, speaking of his new sharpnel shell, intended to destroy objects from one thousand and five thousand feet up in the air. The new destroyer is an old skipound, throwing three or five-inch shells, with a new filling. Besides the usual quantity of bullets, it contains semi-liquid matter, the composition of which is Nixon's jeaousy guarded secret. "Airship and aeroplane builders smiled when German and French gunmakers threatened to bring down their craft by bullets shot from guns vertically aimed" continued Mr. Nixon. "Perhaps they had a right to smile at the imperfect destroying machines invented in Europe, but they won't laugh when they hear of my invention. "The shell," he explained, "contains, besides the bullets and motor power, glutinous matter, adhering to the bullets and bursting into flames the moment the bullets strike. When the discharge comes into contact with a balloon a sticky fire is thrown over it and all inflammable parts, particularly the envelope, will instantly ruite." THE WEEVIL INVASION Pest Reported Rapidly Migrating North. Jackson, Miss.—An insect believed to be the Mexican boll weevil has been found in Winston county, according to reports from Louisville, the county seat. Agricultural experts here seriously doubt whether the insects found are the genuine weevil, however, regarding it as very improbable that the pest could have reached that far northward in its migrations. Specimens, it is stated, have been sent to the Mississippi agricultural experiment station and the verdict from Starkville is being anxiously awaited. It is yet too early for the boll weevil to reach maturity in large numbers and weather conditions have been very much against their propagation. The boll weevil experts of the United States department of agriculture, bureau of plant industry, figure that the weevil will not reach Winston county until the summer of 1910, unless its migration is very greatly accelerated during the present year. Elkins to Help South. Washington, D. C.-Declaring that the "interests of the south are being crucified" by the manner in which, the tariff, bill is being framed, Senator Eikins, republican, of West Virginia, surprised the senate by asserting that he is of the south, and intends to stand by senators from that section in protecting its interests. Big Colony for Florida. Jacksonville, Fla.—A party of Chicago capitalists have bought 55,000 acres of farm lands within nine miles of Jacksonville, the investment representing $500,000, upon which they will colonize thrifty western farmers. Savannah Tribune. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 1909. LATE NEWS NOTES. General. Owners and proprietors of moving picture shows in Pittsburgh, Pa., and in Sharon have been ordered not to produce pictures showing the kidnapping of Willie Whitia, under a penalty of forfeiture of films' and licenses. Under the direct supervision of Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt, two expert weavers are instructing the women employed on the Vanderbilt estate at Biltmore, N. C., in the various forms of weaving. The two experts were brought from New York at Mrs. Vanderbilt's expense, and there are fifty women in the class at the present time. So far the chief work of the Biltmore weavers is the manufacture of white and blue counterpanes of old-fashioned design. With one of the most unusual characters in Atlantic coastwise history, the three-masted schooner, *Denna Briggs*, sailed for Philadelphia from Providence, R. I. The schooner for the next six months will carry snuff between Norfolk and Philadelphia, the charter calling for two hundred tons on each trip. Tobaccoists estimate that each pound of snuff is good for two thousand six hundred and sixteen sneezes, and that on every trip the Briggs will have between her decks fore than one billion sneezes. At a meeting of the Pastor's union, of Jackson, Miss., a resolution was adopted declaring that hereafter the pastors belonging to the union, which includes practically all of this city, will not officate at the marriage of any couple where one or both of the parties have been divorced, no matter what grounds for the divorce may be the pastors state that they have been too liberal on the point heretofore, but that in the future they will adhere strictly to the terms of the declaration contained in the resolution. Some interesting facts concerning wireless telegraphy were brought out in the balance sheet of the Marcelli company of America as of January 31, 1909. The secretary says: "Receipts for short distance; that is, shore to ship, within a radius of three hundred miles show an increase of about $5,000 in gross, but on the other hand receipts for long distance transmission have fallen off considerably, partly because some of the steamship lines could not, under the depressing circumstances, afford the luxury of daily news to their passengers and partly because our long distance receipts depend to a great extent on the traveling public." Joseph Petrie, Oscar Caulkin and George Geelman of Columbia, Ky. are truly religious men, and not one of them has ever sulted his lips with a blasphemous oath. So they were old EMI Christian's pallbearers at the church in Columbia. Christian named them for that service before he died. All his long life Christian abhorred profanity and shunned any man who swore. Often he declared profanity a crime, for which there is no excuse or forgiveness. Often he said he wanted to be carried to his grave by those who were clean-souled and clean-lipped. He knew Gelman, Caulkin and Petrie came up to his standard. Washington. President Frost, of Berea college at Lexington, KY, has invited President Taft to be at the Lincoln farm May 30, to take part in the memorial services and plant a memorial tree in honor of Lincoln. President Taft has the matter under consideration. Frost is at the head of a movement to raise $400,000 for a negro school to be established in Kentucky and which now lacks only $16,000. It will be called the Lincoln Memorial institute, in honor of President Lincoln. Representative Edwards of Georgia is tired of drawing $7,500 for his services as member of congress. He is willing to hold the job for $5,000 a year. Accordingly, he introduced a bill to reduce the salary of members from $7,500* to $5,000. "Do you know why President Taft named Philander C. Khox for his secretary of state?" asked the southern colonel, who is a walking dictionary of strange and wonderful information. "Easy enough, because he is one of the greatest lawyers in the country," replied Mr. Congressman. "Not altogether. He liked the name. No, not 'Knox,' but his first name, 'Philander.' Look it up. It means a South American 'possum.' The colonel was right again. It has been estimated that the amount of wood annually consumed in the United States at the present time is 23,000,000,000 cubic feet, while the growth of the forest is only 7,000,000,000 feet. In other words, Americans all over the country are using more than three times as much wood as the forests are producing. The figures are based upon a large number of state and local reports collected by the government and upon actual measurements. Representative McCall of Massachusetts believes the Philippine islands should have their independence and that if they were independent they should be neutral territory so as not to become the theater of wars between foreign powers. Accordingly he has introduced a resolution requesting the president to open negotiations with the various nations of the globe looking to an agreement for the neutralization of these islands and the recognition of their independence whenever it is granted by the United States. The preamble to the resolution sets forth that argument for not giving the islands their independence has been that if the United States abandoned them some other nation would take them. LEADERS ASK FOR AID "Standpattera" Are Up Against It On Tariff Bill. FREE COTTON BAGGING, TIES And Duty on Egyptian Cotton are Offered If Southern Democrat Will Quit Fighting the Measure. Washington, D. C.-The latest and most interesting rumor in connection with the tariff debate is that the republicans may agree to put cotton dragging and ties on the free list and place a duty of 5 cents a pound on imports of Egyptian cotton. If the democrats will not insist upon free lumber and certain other amendments. These changes in the bill, which the republicans now offer as a concession, have been urgently advocated by several of the most thoughtful speakers on the democratic side. They show that the Payne bill places onerous, burdensome and seriously unjust duties on the cotton farmer. He buys what he needs in a protected market; he sells his crop in competition with all the world. He fights at both ends of the line, whereas the manufacturer is protected in making both purchases and sale. It is understood that the above overtures were made to Representative Broussard of Louisiana, who is a protection democrat. They are being discussed by the democratic members. It remains to be seen whether they are willing to accept the proposal. Senator Simmons of North Carolina stated that every senator from the southeast, except one, would vote for the old duty on lumber. There is no question but that the republicans are uneasy and apprehensive. The treasury deficit has reached $89,000,000. If last month's rate is preserved, the end of the fiscal year will see a deficit of over $100,000,000. With this huge and constantly growing deficit staring them in the face and a turbulent and divided membership in their own camp, the leaders of the party in the house are in a quandary. It was said that, President Taft had been directly appealed to by Speaker Cannon and Leaders Payne and Dalzell, when they spent more than an hour and a half with the chief executive at the white house. CHILD LABOR LAWS Greatly In Need—Many Recommendations Made By Conference Made By Conference. New Orleans southern child labor conference; at its sessions here adopted resolutions embracing a number of important recommendations for legislation on the subject of child labor in the south. The following are the recommendations in substance: The employment in factories of no child under the age of fourteen years. The employment in a mine or quarry of no child under the age of sixteen years. The employment of no child under the age of sixteen in any gainful occupation except agricultural and domestic service, unless such child can read and write simple sentences in the English language. That no boy under the age of sixteen nor girl under the age of eighteen years except in agricultural or domestic service, be 'employed between the hour of 7 p. m. and 6 a. m. An eight-hour day law for children under 16 years of age, and for all women. Employment under the certificated plan. The employment by the state of proper officials for the inspection of all mines and factories, with the power to prosecute violations. Thorough sanitary and safety regulations. The provisions for such are set out in great detail. Making the conference a permanent organization. In connection with the recommendation for employment under the certificate system, the provisions of the Kentucky law are indorsed, and it is further recommended that a law requiring the registration of all births be adopted by every southern state to insure a proper issuance of certificates. POST FOR ELLIOTT Taft Will Send Howard Scholar to Court of St. James. Washington, D. C.—President Taft, speaking at a dinner tendered to President Charles W. Ellot of Harvard University, in this city, announced by direct inference that Dr. Ellot had been tendered the appointment of ambassador to Great Britain. Senator Root of New York had previously indicated the selection of Dr. Ellot, and President Taft made the announcement stronger by declaring he endorsed all that Senator Root had said. JEFFERSON DAVIS FARM. Will Be Bought—$2,000 Has Already Been Subscribed. Louisville, Ky.-Thomas D. Osborne, secretary of the Davis-Farm Association, which has undertaken the purchase and 'care of the farm upon which Jefferson Davis was born, at Fairview, Ky., states that each mail carries many requests for subscription certificates from southerners who have subscribed in sums varying from $5 to $100. In all, according to Mr. Osborne, about $2,000 has been subscribed and at the rate at which subscriptions are coming in, the fund of $3,000 necessary to close the option, will be in hand when the option expires. INDIANS ON WABPATH. Creeks and Half-Breeds Cause Trouble in Oklahoma Oklahoma City, Okla.—In a pitched battle at Hickory Ground between a posse of five officers and twenty Creek Indians of the Snake clan, Officers Edward Daum of Checotah and Herman Odom of Checotah were killed, and Frank Swift of Muskogee fatally wounded. The posse of officers went to the home of Chitti Harjo, chief of the Snake clan of the Creek Indians, to serve a warrant on him. The officers, having heard that the Indians and negroes were peaceable, approached the cabin of Harjo, near Hickory Ground, without fear of any trouble. As they were in the act of entering the chief's yard twenty guns were leveled upon them from as many men in the house and around the corners; and the battle was on. Oklahoma City, Okla.—(Later.)—Chief Crazy Snake and 100 followers retreated before five companies of Oklahoma militia, thus deferring an expected battle. Hasty setting fire to his tepes and tents, the Indian leader, with his mixed company of redskins and negroes, fled from his blazing camp as the troops advanced. He took up a strong position between the North Canadian river and Deep Fork creek, about 7 miles east of Henryetta. Crazy Snake and his braves will be offered a chance to surrender The militia officers believe Crazy Snake wants to reach the Tiger mountains with his followers before engaging in a general fight. That the old chief is striving to stir the Creeks to an uprising, and strike for what he conceives to be his duty, was evident from the smoke from three signal fires on adjacent hills just before sundown. Old-time frontiersmen declare this is a sign which always ushers in Indian troubles. BLACKS TURNING WHITE Interesting Lecture Delivered in London on Changing of Colors. London, England.-Professor Karl Pearson, in a lecture at the Royal Institution, made the startling suggestion that it was scientifically possible that existing white 'races' are descended from a dark-skinned people of the negro type. He was lecturing on "Albism in Man," and in one of his demonstrations he showed on a screen a number of "plebale cases." In one instance he showed the painted cast of a pled baby, the head and upper part of which was black, and the rest of the body white. Certain negroes, continued the lecturer, had gradually turned white in places. This was what was known as leucoderma. In such cases there was no pain whatever. The ordinary view of the medical profession was that it was a disease acquired during life; but he doubted that view. Not only, he argued, was the piebald condition inherited, but cases of "going white" were also inherited. In many instances, the father, children and grandchildren turned white. Among the curious representations thrown on the screen was that of a mother, son and daughter, all with a white patch on their heads. A few years ago, continued Professor Pearson, there were three sisters on the music hall stage. They were known as The Three Striped Graces," and each of them had a white patch on the head; they used to perform acrobatic feats. Often, added the professor, as the white came as a variation on the dark skin, he could find no case of a copper or black child being born to white parents. He showed on the screen one white after another born to the negro face. One case was a negress, with a perfectly white child; another was a case of a black mother with a white baby. A third, case was that of a white Zulu. NEWSY PARAGRAPHS. Jesse Powers of Wendell, Mass., while suffering from melancholia jumped from the steeple of a church in that city to the ground below, a distance of about seventy-five feet. He struck on his feet and the heels of his shoes made dents in the ground about two inches deep. His ankles were fractured. More limited liberties for clergymen were urged by Dr. J. A. Adams, editor of the Advance, at a meeting of Chicago ministers. He said: "Public official are required to take an oath of office, hence ministers should be under some rule. Every preacher should not be allowed to preach anything he may see fit." Archdeacon Emery, who for almost a decade has presided over the missionary field of California jurisdiction, has resigned. The notoriety coming at this time through the marriage of his daughter, Helen Gladys Emery, to Gunjiro Aoki has been a source of great worry to the clergyman, and, because of the criticism it has caused, he thought it best to resign; Buried six feet deep in a wagon load of cotton seed, the dead body of an unknown white man, badly decomposed, was found at Clinton, S. C., by a negro, who was driving the team from the ginnery of the Clinton oil mill. A pistol and over $200 were found on his person and a shotgun was by his side. The bill to repeal the Sturgis law for the better enforcement of the prohibitory liquor law was passed without debate in the Maine house of representatives, despite the fact that the bill had been defeated in the senate. The Sturgis law has had much to do with Maine politics the past four years, but will not change that law unless the senate recedes from its position. AIMED AT THE SOUTH Bill Introduced in Congress to Reduce Representation. DISFRANCHISEMENT OF NEGRO Is the Cause of the Agitation—Validity of the Fourteenth Amendment Is Questioned. Washington, D. C.—Representative Bennett of New York has offered a bill for the amendment of the apportionment of the sixteenth congress, reducing the representation of states which deny to negro citizens the right of franchise. Mr. Bennett's bill specifies reductions he would have made, giving Alabama five instead of nine representatives, Arkansas five instead of seven, Florida two instead of three, Georgia six instead of eleven, Louisiana four instead of seven, Mississippi three instead of eight, Texas thirteen instead of sixteen, Virginia seven instead of ten and South Carolina three instead of seven. Senator Money of Mississippi would have the validity of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution tested. This amendment regulates the franchise and has been constructed to authorize the reduction by congress of the constitutional representation of states which deny the voting privilege to some of their citizens. It has been frequently invoked by the authors of bills reducing the representation of southern states. Mr. Money's resolution directing the attorney general to submit to the supreme court all the information available relative to the method of adopting the amendment so that the court may determine whether the amendment is binding. CHARGES NOT SUSTAINED. No Low Grade Cotton Shipped to New York. Washington, D. C.-Declaring that there appears to have been no substantial basis for the allegations made by officials of the Farmers' Union Cotton Company of Memphis, Tenn., regarding the shipment from the south of low grade cotton to New York, to depress the market, Victor H. Olmstead, chief of the bureau of statistics of the department of agriculture, in a report to Secretary Wilson, recommended that the whole matter be dropped. Recently B. G. West of Memphis, general manager of the Farmers' Union Company, wrote Secretary Wilson that he understood a lot of cotton was headed for New York and the響 was noted that it was "dark blue and black, low grades, to be used in depressing the market." Letters of similar import also were received from officials of the Farmers' Union Company at different points in the south. The secretary ordered a thorough investigation of the allegations to be made by six special agents of the bureau of statistics in the south. They reported that they were unable to secure any tangible evidence in support of the charges. ARMIES AND NAVIES BANKRUFT EUROPE So Foreign Secretary Gray tells the English, Commons. London, England. — The house of commons refused to express lack of confidence in the government's naval policy. The motion on which the notable debate hinged was proposed by Arthur Hamilton Lee, conservative member of the house from Hants. It sets forth "that, in the opinion of this house, the declared policy of his majesty's government respecting the immediate provision for battleships of the newest type does not sufficient secure the safety of the empire." The debate was one of the most momentous the house has listened to for years. A. J. Balfour and Mr. Lee accused the cabinet of incompetency, and demanded that eight Dreadnoughts be laid down immediately. Secretary Greys speech was by far the most notable contribution to the debate, because of its remarkable canard. He dwelt on the diplomatic aspect of the British-German relationship, the hopefuls asking any cessation of the race for armaments, and he predicted eventual European bankruptcy if it continued. TRAINED NURSE DEAD. From Poisoned Kiss of Infected Patient. 'Cumberland, Md.—Having become infected from a kiss bestowed by request on a patient dying of blood poisoning, Miss Mertion C. Spler, a trained nurse, died at her home here, Miss Spler attended Mrs. Virginia Callan Carder, a prominent society woman at the Allegheny Hospital, and the latter asked the nurse to kiss her, as she was dying. The request was granted, and in a few days Miss Spler was stricken with the same malady. TALKS' ABOUT TARIFE. President Taft Says He Will Oppose Tax on Poor Man's Breakfast. Washington, D. C.—President Taft is opposed to any attacks on the breakfast table. He favors cheaper commodities for the table and will use his influence against any tax on the poor man's breakfast table. It is said he desires an income tax to increase the revenue. These views were expressed by the president in a conversation with several western senators on the tariff. The president would like to see coffee, woolen goods, lumber and shoes on the free list if possible. He intimated that he was much concerned over the revenues.

CHOSEN Easter Makes Death a Golden Gate by Newell Dwight Hillis I asked a little boy at play, When Winter's chill had passed away, What made the sky so soft and blue— Why things seemed so changed and new? "This day," he said, "is Easter morn, And I then threw this soon; So, where the Easter blossoms grow, Through fragrant fields for them I go." He knew the story, broad and free, From Bethchem and Galilee; And felt his life, in some fair guise, Was linked to their long-hallowed skirts. Text: "For we know not what we shall be. But we know that when he shall appear (when death comes), we shall be like Him." All the critical hours of life are full of pathos and mystery. No strong man can look upon the youth starting out to make his fortune, upon the girl going toward her bridal altar, upon an old man holding a little babe upon his knees, like spring slitting in the lap of winter, without tears and a catch in the throat. But full also of pathos and mystery and hope is that hour when an old man forecasts the end and prepares for the great adventure. "Of what are you thinking?" a friend asked Edmund Burke just before the statesman died. "I was thinking of the first five minutes after death." All eloquence through oration, or psalm or song, means a full heart, means emotion surging through the soul with all the majesty of a summer's storm. In his hour of vision and of hope, therefore, Tennyson's spirit rose to unwonted heights. Then he wrote his poem of immortality, and expressed the deepest thing within him when he said: "I hope to meet my pilot face to face when I have crossed the bar." Man's Greatest Hope. It is the glory of Christ that He wrought man's "most joyful Sunday"—Easter—out of earth's blackest event—dying and death. Jesus found death altogether terrible. For his generation the grave was horror, blackness and the uttermost of anguish. Death flung a black shadow over the sun itself. Death sent an eclipse over every joy. But If He found death a black cloud He left it a golden gateway, behind which rose the battlements of eternal sunshine in the City of God. He found death standing for a drege—He left it a pacan of hope and victory. He found death's one color, black; He left the grave covered with Easter illies that were white and gold. He found men dying toward the worm and the rotting leaf; He left the soul in death sailing away midst a perfumed summer sea, calling back, "I still! live!" to those who stood on the earthy shores and signalled midst their tears that soon they would follow after. What men had hoped, Jesus turned to light and certainty. He taught men that God's latest and best gift was the gift of death and dying. Therefore, these disciples braved the stones, the scourge, the stocks, the martyr's charlot of fire, because dying meant home-going, and death ushered men into the Father's house. The old Roman views of the sepulchre dripping with horrors and emblems named the skull and the crossbones, differ from the beauty of Christ's hope—the many mansions, the eternal youth and beauty and the Father's house—as frozen cloaks differ from the purple clusters of summer, as white snowflakes are unlike red roses in June, as the arctics are separated from the warmth and fertility of the tropics. The immortal hope of Christ alone justifies a thousand times the triumphant progress of Christianity during the last nineteen centuries. The Meaning of Easter to the Nation. No poet, no orator and no philosopher can ever fully get forth the importance of Easter for the people of the Republic. Human life is a solemn and pathetic march. But that golden gateway named birth and the cradle is not less wonderful than this gateway of death, whose rich drap- ```markdown ``` "Him That Cometh Unto Me I Will in No Wise Cast Out" THE MARRIAGE OF THE SUNKEN SUN He crossed the meadows wet with dew; The violet's choosest nooks he knew; But did not miss the spell divine That came to him from Palestine.

How wonderful the procession that has disappeared beyond the horizon during the past few years! Gone our soldiers and statesmen, and heroes of the great war! Gone the New England poets! Gone the orators and jurists! Gone our beloved parents and a great company of our little children who went singing out of sight. One by one the stat-sman with his wisdom, the mothers with DETA their beauty, the friends who have counselled, the boy with his high hopes, the girl with her sweet beauty, disappear behind the heavy curtains. They return no more. The voice is silent, and the step is still. But the sun sinks only to rise again. Sinking it goes down in light and leaves the rich splendor lingering in the cloud. And Christ, dying, flung back the glorious radiance, and left a golden cloud enveloping the grave, and so filled the heart with hope. Henceforth it is given to the Christian hero and patriot, the dying father and mother and friend, to bid all loved ones to turn their eyes away from the grave and cemetery, and to look up, standing with rapt expectancy and listening to the voice that falls over the battlements: "Come up hither! I am not dead, but risen into the realms of eternal youth, eternal beauty, eternal work and happiness." For one hour in the soul's summer-land, where the air is never dark with tumult and storm, will repay us a thousand times for the temptations and struggles and sickness and heartbreak of this earthly life. On Easter the one duty of the hour is to make death beautiful and bright for all young hearts and for all aged ones. Birth is the great mystery. That man should be born at all, and come singing, bounding, laughing, working and loving into the scene, stirs the note of wonder. That man should continue to live is a little thing, but that man should begin to live is a great thing. Nothing is eas- ler or more natural than the faith that this marvelous being shall go on living after death. God has too much treasure 'invested in man' to permit him to die. That Infinite Power and Love and Wisdom and Beauty named God is surely as wise as we are. But we do not build a splendid house simply to lift a torch upon it as soon as the house is completed. And think you that God builds the soul only to destroy it?—New York World. The Glorious Day. Easter is the Emancipation Anniversary of the Christian world—the one day of all the year, next to the Advent, that is the most glorious and worthy of signal gemmbrance. It brings with it a new inspiration of faith in God and of perfect assurance in His love for the children of men. Every swelling bud and sprouting leaf reminds us that the life, which conquers death in nature's realm has its parallel in the Resurrection—that great central fact of Christianity—in which we have the assurance of our own spiritual revitalization. Christ in us becomes the vitalizing force which lifts us from the darkness of sin and death unto light and life everlasting. This old world of ours needs more Easter cheer. It needs to realize that the risen Christ and the empty tomb have for the whole race a grander and higher significance than any other event since time began. It needs to feel that the defeat of King Death and the triumph of King Jesus over the grave, have thrown open the gates of life and happiness to all who will enter therein. It needs to grasp AIL FROM THE ENTOMBM From the Painting by Hans Tichy. DETAIL FROM THE ENTOMBMENT. From the Painting by Hans Tichy. to have his high beauty, hurtles, is slut the blinking eyes the cloud, kick the golden and so Henece in hero and so loved from the look up, joy and is over neither; to the the imperishable truth that, when the Son of God burst the bars of death and the grave, He revealed the way of life eternal to all who accept Him and follow in His footsteps. His resurrection was the divine pledge of our own, and the soul that rests upon Him has already risen from the deadness of sin and begun the life everlasting. For such, the grave is not an abiding place, but the vestibule of the greater and nobler life beyond. Therefore, at this joyous Easter time, when all nature is rejoicing, let our own hearts join in the songs of praise and gladness. Around us, we see the woods adorning themselves with living green, and the air is resonant with the song of birds. Over all the earth, wherever the name of Jesus is known, it is the glad emancipation time. Tis the festival of all creation: Christ hath risen, who gave creation birth. No Death. I dropped a pansy on her brow; "Pansies for thought," I said; And marvelled when they whispered low That she I love was dead. I placed a lily in her hand; "An Easter hope," I said; And turned to the invisible; None there, or here, is dead. I laid a rose upon her breast; "The rose for love," I said. My heart was bounding with pure joy, I knew she was not dead. For she was an embodied love, And thought, and purpose high. These, the unseen, eternal things, How can they ever die! Sarah E.

Shadow and sunlight, ebb and flood, mourning and rejoicing are not more opposite than the subdued and sorrowful mood befitting Lent, and the triumphant gladness of Easter. As Good Friday, in its solemn passing, recalls to us the day when the darkness of the cross made the sun ashamed to shine, so Easter Sunday, MENT. with a supreme radiance, indicates the hour that is the coronation of humanity. Jew and Roman combined in the crucifixion of Him who came to save, but they could have had no power against Him had He not willingly offered Himself to atone for the sins of the world. "I am the good shepherd," He said. "I lay down My life for the sheep. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again." No mere man could have made that divine assertion. Well might the sun in darkness hide And shut his glories in... When God, the mighty Maker, died Christ died, and we must die. There is an hour in the unseen future known to God, but unknown to us, our friends and kindred will say of us, one by one, "He is gone." "She is not here." But Christ rose again from the dead, and so shall we. We shall live again; not in this poor world of change and loss, but in a far more beautiful one, into which death cannot enter. Because Christ lives, we shall live. This is the joy of Easter, and this is why, when Lent is over and winter is past and spring has returned, Christian life reaches its highest watermark on the shores of time in an exultant Alleluia that reverberates around the globe.

Manning, successor to Rev. Dr. Morgan Dr. Dr. Manning was in direct line for this promotion, having been assistant rector of Trinity for the last four years. He was elected to his new post by the unanimous vote of the seventeen members of the vestry, who REV. DR. WILLIAM T. MANNING. attended the special meeting held for the purpose. The meeting at which Dr. Manning was elected for one of the most important church posts in America, lasted only twelve minutes, Dr. Manning having no rival in the field. The unique ceremony of "delivering the keys" to Dr. Manning was identical with that used at the induction of the first rector of Trinity, Dr. Ford Compton, in 1696, and has been adhered to ever since. Vestrymen and members of the congregation marched in procession through the churchyard to the main door of the church. The door was locked and the key left in it. The senior warden, in appropriate speech, presented Dr. Manning with the key. The new rector then turned the key, opened the door and led the way up the alsele through the darkened church to the altar, where a prayer was offered to conclude the ceremony. Dr. Manning was also vicar of St. Agnus' Chapel, in Trinity parish. He was born in England forty years ago. He was graduated from the University of the South, at Sewance, Tenn., and holds degrees from other Southern colleges. Ordained in 1891, he was appointed rector of Trinity Church at Redlands, Cal., in 1892, of St. John's Church at Landsdowne, Tenn., in 1896, and of Christ Church, Nashville, in 1898, which post he held till called to New York to join the Trinity forces.—From the Christian Herald.

The International Kindergarten Union, representing 10,000 kindergarteners, is making a raid on the idiotic comic supplements of the Sunday papers, reports the Bulletin of Education. It will be interesting to see what influence the union can command in this warfare. The comic supplement is so crude and rude that it would not seem to need much of an attack, but true it is that children are often crazy over it. It might be well to eliminate this passion for the comic supplement by creating a relish for something better. The Sunday paper costs $2.60 a year. This would buy several most attractive little books that could be kept the year through. The greatest impeachment of the comic supplement is, that even the child discards, it as soon as he has taken a good look at it. Current Literature adds a word of prophecy on this subject when it says, "It begins to look as if the death knell of a time-honored feature of American journalism—the comic supplements of the Sunday newspapers—had struck." A tide of protest is rising all over the land, and the very existence; of "Foxy Grandpa," the "Katjenian Kids," "Happy Hooligan" and "Buster Brown"—those darlings of the heart of childhood—is menaced. Mothers' meetings have declaimed, and educational conferences have resolved, against them. Burns' Favorite Word. A contributor has had the curiosity to look up Mr. J. B.

It is hoped that under the present law the prisoners will be better treated and in such a way that after serving their time they will lead better lives. ONE of the banes of cheap entertainments at the halls now is the prevalence of the half pint bottles of bad booze. The women in many cases are worse than the men. We may be censured for saving so but it is nevertheless a fact. Cut out the blind tiger stuff and there will be less trouble at the halls. The great need for a well conducted orphanage was demonstrated last week when a small colored girl whose only relative is alleged to be a confirmed criminal was arrested charged with stealing. The judge was not inclined to punish the little one, but wanted her placed in a good family. She was given in charge of a kind hearted colored man. If we had a well managed orphanage then appeal to individuals in cases of this kind would be obviated. The Doctors and the People. I have heretofore sought the indulgence of the editor of THE TRIBUNE for space in which to speak of the splendid exhibition of race patronage upon their part. I did this service unsolicited, because of direct attacks which were being made upon Negro practitioners in other parts of the state. If the articles or the intent of them, failed of effect here, I am glad to be apprised that the effect was felt elsewhere in the state. But to offset whatever good that has been done, here or elsewhere, there are rumors here, (and I guess they are elsewhere, also) which are highly detrimental to both the practitioners and the people. They breed distrust as against the very sources whence they are said to eminate. I was standing near a drug store conducted by a white man, and saw a member of my race taking prescriptions for her sick father there to be filled. Another individual of far more pretensions than I can boast of, was standing by me. He asked, "why you take all of your business to this store?" She replied, "Dr. Richard Roe, our family physician ordered me to do it." He said that all of his work goes to Dr. John Doe's drug store, because he is competent to fill a prescription correctly and properly. Then I remarked, that it is just that kind of talk that brings about the questionableness of Negro business and professional men. And such expressions give birth to the statements which are going the rounds of the city. I cannot understand how a doctor can get around being thought incompetent if he states that the Negro pharmacists are incompetent because, generally, both the doctor and the pharmacist come from the same school and should be equally fitted in their special lines. I can not see how a doctor could make such statements when he knows that it is written, "As you measure to your neighbor, it will measure back to you." I doubt very seriously if any doctor in our city has questioned the competency of any pharmacist directly. If it is a fact however, that such has been done, it argues most pointedly against the competency of that physician who made the declaration. It puts the advantage in the hands of that class of our people that entertain doubts. It starts a kind of under current agitation that will ultimately, sap the foundation built up by our doctors and force them to relinquish practice here to seek other fields. I believe in the competency and qualification of all of our professional men. If I draw a comparison it is of a Negro physician as against a Negro physician and it materially injures neither. But should I say that Negro doctors are incompetent, there would be some who would take the matter up and use it to its bitter end as againt all Negro practitioners Should I say, by mouth or through press, that Negro pharmacists were incompetent, there would be those who would use it to the utmost to drive Negro druggists out of business. It is worst if a professional man says it. We cannot afford to utter one word that will balk our people in their inclination to get together. Every word spoken should be such as to encourage unity among us. The doctors can ill afford not to unite with every fraternal organization, for their prestige and patronage will both increase thereby and their sphere of usefulness will widen. This is a process of unification that is working the greatest wonders of the age, and no man of parts should remain without the doors. No statement that tends towards impeding an effort making towards the unity of the race, should be uttered by any Negro The common people, (and we are the common people,) should endeavor to create confidence in our business and professional men. Our doctors, pharmacists and lawyers study the same books that other races study. They have the same advantages, natural and artificial, that they have. Then why should they not be competent? I believe in the ultimate acknowledgment of the people of the universe as to the equality of all men, when subjected to similar advantages. And since my people have not always been subjected to these equal advantages, and have made good under most trying conditions, I further believe that a preponderence of weight in the scale of intellectuality will be with us. Let us be true to the cause of unity. Let us not place impediments in its way but let us the rather, join that great throng that will succeed in spite of opposition to the contrary. Individuals and races must elevate. It is in accord with the laws of nature. The Negro must, therefore rise and the rise will be accelerated by unity. Then, too, the people should patronize the doctors. They should remember that inclusive in the definition of patronage is pay. The people would be poor patrons if they did not pay. It is an important phase of unity to do both. No individual or class of our people should withhold their entire patronage from our doctors. To do this is argument, silent but eloquent, that there are, at least, doubts as to their qualification. Custom may, upon the part of the people, be responsible for their doubts; but if the doctors doubt the proficiency of the pharmacists, I am unable even to conjecture the cause. Mayhap, the cause, if there be any, and if the declaration has been by doctors here or elsewhere, is in the "Materia Medica." Of this I know nothing But I do know that it would seem a monstrous impossibility to believe that any of our doctors believe pharmacists are incompetent. Our people do not, and if they act to the contrary, they act under stress. Turner Will Succeed Himself As Grand Medical Register for the K. of P. of Georgia Dr. E. J. Turner has done valuable service. He has not only filled the position with dignity, but he has also, offered valuable recommendations which have tended towards the prevention of fraudulent entrances into the order by those with such designs. His reports have been clear, concise and intelligent, and they go down in the literature of the order as classics. Satisfied with his competency and eminent fitness the Grand Lodge re-elected him unanimously. If there is any jewel in his humble diadem that shines out more brilliantly than the rest, it is that of consistency. He goes up or down with a friend, while at the same time, he disdains to ruthlessly crush an enemy. These traits of his rugged character have been discerned and favorably commented upon by a vast majority of the members of the fraternity in the state, whose determination it is to re-elect him at the coming Grand Lodge. This conclusion upon the part of the people has been reached after due consideration of his worth to the order and of his real worth as a good man and honest citizen. When in the midst of that memorable contest in Augusta, Ga., the great forces of the north held an infrangible sway, when invectives and excoreations were rife, I sat by his side and harked to the impartial whisperings from his heart. He was then as now, a firm administration man, but a man. He deplored the necessity, if such it was, of resorting, in a fraternal organization, too drastic methods, either in words or acts. And though he was re-elected with the administration, he did not then, and does not now, fear an expression of the will of the people. Having consistently toed the mark, without "bending the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift might, follow fawning," he takes his place in the "line up" feeling that actual service is his best recommendation. I am glad that at this epoch of the history of the order, its members are awake. It is, indeed, gratifying to know that as dillatory tactics, whether in fraternal organizations, church or state are being placed under the ban of disapproval the country over. The eyes of a watchful, intelligent and thoughtful world are upon the actions of any and every individual that would bring himself in the lime-light. Their conduct, whether wholesome or unwholesome, consistent or inconsistent, must be carried through, and the grindings be placed under the xray of a seeing and thinking public. And the people remember. They recall every act in detail, if for weal or woe. They measure the man by the matter he exudes. Like a specialists, the public examines in minutest detail the individual's conduct, strenuously unearthing every act of charity or depravity during one's public career. The public has the termerity to commend or condemn. As a public official, we present our candidate for the grill. If any there be to speak, let him speak now, for the voices of a mighty host will say at Thomasville, Ga., "we find no fault with him." The fight is open to eligibles and I do not believe it should be thought criminal to enter the arena. And while I admit that the antagonist is a fearless one, I make bold to say that, "If a path be dangerous known, The dangers, self is lure alone." And backed by duty well performed and with a knowledge of the competency and qualification of Dr. Turner, and with confidence in the rank and file of the order, I believe that he will receive the unanimous endorsement of the Pythians of the jurisdiction. I know not if he has a motor car or "hobby-horse." I care not. I know not if he is a "wooly" landlord, or a "silver king." I care not. But this I do know, that he possesses the essence of friendship, charity and benevolence, plus the confidence of the members of the fraternity throughout the jurisdiction. And this is the flat that controls the vote of the order. The Pythian Order is filled with good men—men competent to as properly conduct the affairs of the order as Dr. Turner or any of his co-officers. He and the whole coterie were placed in these offices by the vote of the people and it will take the votes of the people or death to remove them. When an administration has been flagrantly managed it is the people's move. Though an administration may not be thus managed, the people can and often do move. But there is no cavil along this line. Then why seek out Dr. Turner for the slaughter? Is there a cause? Then name it. Can the head of the administration remain silent when irregularities exist in any of his departments? Are there irregularities in Turner's department? No? Then why aim the loaded guns at him and blank shells or no shells at all at the others? He has not been in office long, why single him out? No, the rank and file of the order demand an explanation speedily, and in justice to them, it is no less than right that the answers should be forth coming. The people are reasonable and are therefore convertable as the result of it. But they stand as stolidly as Gibraltar against share sophistry and patent inconsistency. Upon the foregoing I appeal to the Pythians of the entire jurisdiction to yield to nothing less than a conclusion arrived at by a due process of reasoning from a well founded premises. If this advice be taken, and it is honestly and candidly given, "with malice towards none, with charity. for all," Dr. E. J. Turner, your present Grand Medical Register will win out with votes to spare. Lectures to Non-Catholles this was certainly a most beautiful and a most interesting exposition of the Catholic Doctrine, so sweet and so consoling. Next Wednesday evening at 8 p.m. Father Dablent will answer all the questions which will have been placed in the Question Box. These Lenten lectures have attracted many non-Catholices, who have been anxious hear something about the Catholic Church. If there is any question about which you wish to have a clearer explanation write it on a slip of paper and put it in the question box before Monday morning, and on Wednesday evening you wish to hear it in the church. Some questions have been handed in, and it will certainly be most interesting to hear them explained and answered by the priest.

Despite the inclement weather on Sunday afternoon, the church was crowded the occasion being the celebration of the "Fythian Period" The distinguished guest was the Sir Knights and the Court - of Calanthe. Rev. Wright was commended highly for the rapid progress he has made in the ministry in such a short time. All encouraged him to go on to the goal At night the seating capacity was again taxed. The honored guest was the Progressive Aid and Social Club. The history of the club was read by Mrs. Nancy King. "Jesus lover or my soul was sweetly sung by the choir Rev. Wright's subject was "Christian Watchfulness". He held his audience spellbound while he preached a noble sermon that mean so much to christians. The choir sang "Lord be merciful" Rev Wright read the hymn "That awful day will surely come." He asked those who felt the need of prayer to come to the mercy seat. The call was willingly obeyed. Rev Wright with all his heart took their cases to the throne of grace. Several pieces were, sung while the deacons set the table for the Lord's supper. It was a grand sight. The club was exceedingly liberal in donating to the church, pastor, choir, and sexton. Come down and attend our revival. Our services are just what you need. St. Philip Dots. Even though it talked on Sunday our members and friends did not fall to attend the event throughout the day. At 11 Rev Lindsay's discourse or subject of discourse was "The incompleteness of man if he is without Christ. Rev Lindsay discussed this very important subject at length and showed how important it is to be a Christian and strive to so live and when death comes that we may he found completely wrapped up in Christ. At 8 p.m. Rev T N M Smith, D D, Presiding Elder of the Hawkinsville District and exporter of St Philip Church preached. Rev Smith needs no introduction in Savannah. He is one of the best biblical students and pulpit orators of the day. His argument was listened to with the profoundest interest and kept his hearers spell bound for half an hour or longer. One week more and the glorious Easter will have dawn. Special Sunday school exercises and special music for the day will be rendered. Our monthly love feast was held on Friday night, prior to our communion on tomorrow. We are sorry to note the illness of Prof John H Baldwin the faithful a apprentent of our Sunday school, who is now at Elkosia, Ga. Rev Lindsay, Bros Love Lovely and Penn Lindsay turned from Elkosia where they were intermitted from the West Savannah District Conference, each reported an intering session.

A Great Day for the K. of The annual exercises of the K. of P., Courts of Calanthe, Uniform Rank Divisions, Cadets, Ladies Drill Corps and Juveniles were held at the F. B. B. Church Bryan St., w. on Sunday afternoon. In spite of the rain which fell in torrent all the departments of the Order were well represented and the program was carried out better than words can express in the space allowed. The program was as follows: Invocation by Sir Rennair, Prelate; Anthem by the F. B. B. Choir; Scripture lesson by the Pastor of the F. B. B. Church; responsive reading led by Prof. John McIntosh C. C.; Essay by Mrs. E. W. Sherman; Song by the Choir; Annual Sermon by Rev. Daniel Wright pastor: singing by quartette, Mrs. Rosa Stevens, Miss Susie A. Williams, Mrs. A.E. Orner and Messrs P. A. J. McDowell and W. H. Burgess; Remarks by the different departments of the Order as follows: Supreme Lodge Sir J. J. Bolen; Grand Lodge and Endowment Bureau Sir M. W. Bryan; U. R. Dept. Lt. E. M. Wilson; O. O. C. Mrs. J. C. Miller; D. G. W. C.; Ladies Drill Corps, Mrs. Rachel E. Wright, The Cadets by John H. Baldwin, Jr.; and last but not least the Juveniles by Misses Addie Jakes. Space will not allow me to describe the particular manner and way in which the participants acted their part, each of them and all of them, Master of Ceremonies (Prof. L. B. Thompson,) included, played their parts so well that could not be surpassed. One of the most striking features of the occasion was the elaborate preparation made for the exercises by the members of the church. The church was most beautifully dressed with flowers which made the atmosphere redolent with the fragrance of the flowers, that, in itself was animating to every individual who hitherto had come to thank God; the star hanging at the entrance circled with the word welcome must have lent something to the effulgence of the occasion for beholding it as they passed, their footsteps seem to quicken as that great concourse of people marched in and filled that commodious and spacious church to its capacity. Such preparation was the first of its kind in Savannah. But we should not be over-awed at this for here at this church we are there reminded that the saying, that a prophet not honored in his own country does not hold good. Here we find a prophet honored and revered. The pastor of that church is a native Savannahian and by perseverance and fidelity and loyalty has won the confidence of that body of people, insomuch that he was called to be the pastor of that large church. He is an unassuming young man, thus, this lofty and ideal work for the good of humanity was thrust upon him when he least expected it. He proved his ability on the above occasion; taking for his theme "True friendship." He handled the subject in such an able manner that the audience was visibly moved. The friendship of David and Jonathan was so plainly exemplified by Rev. Wright that it touched the hearts of many and encouraged them to extend to each other a stronger feeling of harmony and good will than had existed before they heard him. Everything was short and sweet We have never had a better time of Thanksgiving and the F. B. B. Church shall not be forgotten. Rev. Sir Knight Daniel Wright of Gardner Lodge shall not be for gotten. Long may he live to labor for God and his labor yield abundant harvest. J. C. Hamilton. Local Dots. Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Houston who have been spending the past several weeks at Gainesville, Fla., on account of ill health of the former, returned last Monday night. Their friends were glad to welcome them home. The concert given last Friday night at Beach Institute by the Montieth school under the direction of Miss Melissa Fleming was well attended.

A Useful Life Ended Mrs. Louis Alexander, wife of Mr. Chas. W. Alexander, departed this life March 27th, at 5:30 a.m. Mrs. Alexander was born Aug. 28th, 1875 in Screven county, Ga., but at an early age came to this city with her relatives. She attended the East Broad Street School and graduated with high honors. She also attended Beach Institute afterwhich she engaged in teaching school in the adjoining counties. As a very acceptable and highly efficient teacher she will be remembered at Buck Creek in Screven county, Claxton. Statesboro and other places where she has labored and so successfully. # Mrs. Alexander was converted when quite young and received into St. James Church under the pastorate of the late Rev. R B Bailey. She was an ideal christian, eager and ready to lend a hand in every department of church work. Whatever her hands found to do toward building up the waste places in Zion, she did with all her might and power. She was president of the "Allen Endeavor Society, secretary of the Missionary Society and a constant teacher in the Sunday School. She held membership in the Household of Ruth No. 118, White Rose Court of Calanthe and Mt.Moriah Chapter O E. S., and was an active officer in them all. During her lengthy illness which confined her to bed all of this year, she bravely bore the ordeal and when death the twin sister of sleep, casted her shadow around her bedside, he found her waiting for the call from labor to reward. She was married to Mr. Chas. W. Alexander June 5th, 1901, by Rev. P F Curry, B. D., and was an ideal wife and model mother. Her funeral services were conducted at St James church last Sunday afternoon, Dr. P W Greatheart officiating. The pastor paid a beautiful tribute to memory, so did Deacon Leonard and Brother Savage Household of Ruth No. 118. White Rose Court and Mt Moriah Chapter concluded the last sad rites at the grave. Mrs. Alexander leaves a husband Mr. Chas W. Alexander, a mother, Mrs Hannah Jones, little Albertha her daughter and many friends who mourn their lost. The pallbearers were Messrs. R H Pelote, J I C Montgomery, John Baker, I T Williams, Henry Horne, and A D Rivers. Peace be to her ashes. For Grand Vice Chancellor. Savannah, Ga., March 31, 1909.

FOR THE FARMER AND STOCKMAN We think we have a good device for stacking allfails or other way and fast, too, that might be helpful to some of the readers and farmers and that is to have two four by four pieces of timber thirty feet long that are clear of knots and bolt together at top. Dig a couple of holes in ground a foot deep and fifteen feet apart, opposite each other and place those four by four in those holes and put two ropes up in each side and pull them up and stake good, but give them enough rope to let them have eight to ten feet each way from straight up and down, fasten pulley at crotch, the end of one rope at crotch and put a pulley on it and then run it through pulley at crotch and down to another pulley staked good off at one side of derrick and one horse hitched on end of rope will handle the fork all right. Put hay fork on pulley as shown in diagram. Haul hay or buck it up under guy rope No. 1 and leave derrick lean as it is and load fork and start horse, and when the fork gets to crotch let horse pull it over and jerk trip rope as it goes, and it will throw hay a good distance. One man can stack after this device and build a stack twelve feet wide, thirty to fifty feel long and sixteen to twenty feet high. When you get fork unloaded pull derrick back and load again; one man can load fork and trip it with a long trip rope and pull derrick back without getting off load, and a little boy can handle the horse or fork. Stake guy rope No. 2 off a little from one side, not much, just enough so rope rubs stack good on one side, and stake, the pulley that horse is hitched to rope on the other side so it will pull straight and not upset.—E. A. McMillan, in The Economist. E. D. King, in a recent address before the Kansas Association of Improved Breeders, made this comparison in behalf of sheep and wool profits as compared with cows. He said: "One hundred good grade ewes will cost about the same as ten good grade cows, will eat about the same the year through, and at the same per cent. of increase will return eighty lambs, worth $4 each, and 1000 pounds of wool, worth $175, as against eight calves, worth $10 each, and 2000 pounds of butter, worth $300. Quite a difference in favor of the sheep, and they will run in the pasture caring for themselves, and any of you who have milked ten cows through the year and hand-fed the calves, as you must to get the butter returns, know that there is a great RATTS, know that there is a great deal of labor attached to that work. "If the farmer does not have the alfalfa or clover to go with his corn, the sheep will thrive, admirably upon prairie hay, wheat or flax straw, corn fodder, or sorgum or kaif corn, but as these are all highly carbonaceous, he should feed some bran or oats or oil meal with the corn to balance the ration. In 1901 my flock was confined entirely to corn fodder and a half bushel per 100 head daily of a ration composed of wheat and cotton-seed meal in equal parts, and did fine. "I fattened some old ewes for market upon cottonseed meal and a very light feed of poor shock corn. Some of the professors whom we consulted said: 'Don't feed any cottonseed meal to pregnant ewes.' But some twenty head run with the fattening flock up to lambing and did well and raised good lambs." Feeding For Eggs. Hens will not refuse to lay providing the conditions which surround them are favorable for egg production. Of course a hen cannot keep on laying all the time, nor will some hens lay even for a majority of the time, but the farmer who provides the correct conditions of housing, feeding and general management will find that he will not be entirely without eggs at any time of the year: Of course, it is not the hen's nature to lay at this time of the year, but if she is comfortably housed and well fed, the farmer will find that the hen after all really has little sentiment as to just which season she shall produce her eggs. Getting eggs is not entirely a matter of feeding, yet it we feed correctly the hens will not have that as an actual obstacle to laying. Maturity and vigor are two important things in the hens that are to be heavy winter layers. Keep the hens in a thrifty, vigorous condition, and be sure and feed a variety. These things count for a great deal toward success. Corn, oats and wheat are the three principal grain feeds, but there are others that may well be fed by way of variety, and the meat and green stuff in some form should never be ne- glected. Give any kind of meat scraps or prepared meat foods, as it pays. Try to keep the lion under conditions as near like those in fur instance at spring time as you can, and you will not suffer severely from an egg famine. This is nothing imposs- sible and, briefly, only means com- fortable housing, a variety of feeds, green stuff and meat scraps, and sanitary quarters. - Epitomist Neglected Agriculture. Neglected Agriculture. There are two branches of agriculture which pay larger than any others for the investments in them in the Central Western States, that are the most neglected. We refer to the dairy and poultry industries. It is true that in a way they are both pursued on the farm, but back in the years when butter sold for six and seven cents a pound, chickens $1.00 a dozen; and eggs at five and six cents per dozen, the men on the farm tabbed them, and thought these industries were too trifling, and they have never gotten over it. It is a good illustration of the force of early habits, for it sticks to most farmers yet, though dairy and poultry demands and prices have quadrupled in prices in many respects. The ancient cows which made but two or three pounds of butter, a week, and the dung-hill chickens that were in the same scant class, probably had something to do with forming this habit; but now that wet weet has passed these things by, isn't it-time to take notice more generally and to give the most profitable industries of the farm greater and more method attention. It is also to be said of the dairy industry that it is one of the greatest factors in keeping up soil fertility. Experience has shown that where dairying is followed as a leading feature of the farm, that the average yield of corn and other crops are decidedly increasing. Corn and corn silage are leading features in the industry, as by this method, the greater productions of the farm are returned to the soil to enrich it. Rotating corn and clover, both of which are required in dairying, insures the nitrogen and humus so essential, in the soil. Clover, or alfalfa where it can be grown, along with corn and corn silage make a good ration for cows, and make good rotations. With these farm crops but little bran and cottonseed meal are needed in dairy feeding to make a balanced ration. —Indiana Farmer. Piling Wood to Season. The climate has much to do with the best method. to be employed in piling green wood so that it will season. In the humid sections of the United States, says Farm and Home, it should be piled with plenty of space between the pieces, but in the arid regions it should be piled closer to prevent too quickly drying out and consequent checking of the wood. Fig. 1 shows a very satisfactory method of piling boards, planks and small dimension lumber. Inch strips for edgings are placed near each end, and in the middle of the pile. The top course of boards is put on in the form of a roof to shed the water. Very useful methods of pling ties, posts and other timber are shown in Figs. 2 and 3. In Fig. 2 very little room is taken up, and at the same time individual pieces of timber touch at very few points, thus permitting air circulation on all sides of the wood., When quick drying and seasoning is wanted, Fig. 3 shows a better method and the one commonly employed. The prima nobillis, a shellfish found in the Mediterranean, spins a fine silk. Brooklyn, N.Y. —Sunday evening, at Holy Trinity P. E. Church, the Very Rev. George Hodges, dean of the Cambridge Theological School, delivered a lecture on the early church. The subject was "The Defense of the Faith." Dean Hodges said: The first antagonist of the faith was prejudice crowned in ignorance, growing up into contempt and then into hatred, and resulting in prejudice whereby the Christians were accused of atheism and sedition, and of immorality. Of atheism, because they had no images in their sanctuaries and because they worshiped in a fashion unknown among the religious of their time; of sedition because they refused to acknowledge the divinity of the Roman Empire; and of immorality because they held secret meetings, and not knowing what took place at these meetings, everybody might guess what he chose—and the mind of man is so constituted that under such circumstances some people will guess very unpleasant things. So, by virtue of ignorance, in almost entire absence of faith, they grew up around the Christians that the homoiosis of prejudice. It is astonishing, however, that all afterward happened that Christianity should have existed for one or two centuries almost unnoticed, and then only with derision and antifurism. There was Lucian the satirist, who makes one of his characters, Periglirus Proteus, profess to be a Christian, and when he put in prison is visited by prominent because he is in danger of martyrdom, and then gives of them: "These misguided creatures have so persuaded themselves that they are going to live forever that they have lost all fear of death"; and he says, again, that they have been taught by their master that they are all brothers, and they love one another in an amazing manner. "It is a friendly comment, but mingled with contempt. There was Celsius, the critic, who wrote a long and substantial books against the Christian religion, in which he declared it first on the ground of history. He says it is not historical because it is filled with accounts of miracles and miracles cannot happen, and in beginning birth and the inurrection, and discredits miracles, which he says Christ was able to do by meals of tricks He learned in Egypt, And, second, of philosophy. He says the incarnation is impossible because God is intangible, and unnecessary because God is good. It is insurd, he says, to think that God cares for any little company of people and services on this planet, and he praises the Greeks, who put their trust in reason over against the Christians, who put their trust in faith. There was Marcus Aurelius, emperor, philosopher, moralist, the one man in the pagan world whom we would have said beforehand would have appreciated the Christian religion and would have gone out to meet it. He views them with a far-off contempt and refers with some derision to the alacrity with which Christians go to martyrdom. This religion, which within a few centuries, was to take possession of the Roman world, which was to be the most notable fact in the history of the race, began in obscurity, an obscurity amazing to us. When Christianity came to be a little known there came in its defense against its antagonists the Apologists, chief of whom was Justin Martyr. Born at Sychar, in Palestine, of pagan parentage, at an early age Justin devoted himself to philosophy. In his desire to learn the relation between God and the world, he in turn sought this knowledge from the Stolcs, the peripatetics and the Pythagorians, and finally turned to Christianity and died martyr at Rome. From some writings of his life, we find the叫dollars of his religion, the叫dollars of the Christians had no creed and no recitation of the creed, and no formulation of the truths of their religion. Justin made some inferences from the Bible in the direction of faith. He laid great stress upon the argument from prophecy, and had much to say about devises, with whom he identifies the gods of the Pagan world, and he believed in a literal millennium. There was a lack of order and formality in the church, but they took collections, he says, and describes a service at which there was a reading of the Bible, a long prayer, a hymn and a sacramental feast of bread and wine. The second antagonist of the Christian faith was Heresy. The time came when men of education and learning began to be attracted toward the Christian religion, and there was a natural desire on the part of Christian teachers to prove the Christian religion to those persons, to make it reasonable, to their cultivated minds, and the result was sometimes heresy. Heresy, I suppose, is almost always the result of that kind of purpose. These heretics were the Gnostics, whose almight was to make some kind of a combination between Christian truth and the other kinds of truths floating about in the minds of men. Gnostics found two great difficulties in religions: One, the difficulty of reconciling the New Testament with the Old Testament, partly on the ground of infirmity, with faith from so higher a plane in the New Testament than in the Old Testament, the difficulty emphasized by the teaching of St. Paul: wherein he seemed to set a new system of grace over against the old system of works. How to reconcile these discrepancies between the Old-and New-Testaments perplexed them. And the other perplexity was, how to reconcile the bad world with the good and mighty God. These they met with a series of propositions. Thez said there, are two antagonistic facts. "There is matter which is essentially evil, and there is a spirit which is essentially divine." They also said, "There are two worlds: the lower world, in which we live, clothed in matter, and thereby having our spirit hindered by this environment of evil and a higher world, where God dwells, remotely distant and harlark between Him and us a long, series of spirituakbeing emanating, from Him called aesons, and at the end of this aeson, reaching down is the Demiurge, a pretty poor kind of aeon." The Demiurge was the maker of the world, and he was responsible for all this evil matter, and the Demiurge was the God of the Old Testament. Everything that takes place in the Old Testament is under the control of the Demiurge, not of the Supreme God, and we may deal with it with all the freedom we like. The Supreme Aeon, they said, was the Christ who came to redeem man from the kyrgyz of the Demiurge; and Christ, redeemed man, not by the sacrifice of His death upon the cross, because, matter being only an appearance. There was incarnation, no resurrection or any of the rest of it. He saves man, not by the death of the cross, but by illumination, by the shining, in of His Spirit upon the spirit of man. This day on which we meet is called Sunday because of Mithras. When Constantine gave out his edict in the days when the empire became Christian he decreed that the first day of the week should be kept as a day of rest and they called it by its Mithraic name, the venerable day of the sun. Why is Christmas kept on the twenty-fifth of December? Nobody knows when our Lord was born. Even the season of the year has totally departed from the memory of man. Only early indications of the date of year point to the summer when the shepherds were abiding in the fields. Christmas is kept on the twenty-fifth of December - because it was Mithras's birthday. That was Mithras' birthday kept as a day of rejoicing among the votaries of this religion scattered all over from the desert of Sahara to the glens of Scotland, where shrines of Mithra have been found. When Christianity became victorious over this religion she found it wise to say to the converts, "Keep on with your, domestic rejoicing on December 25, but do all these joyful things in remembrance of Jesus Christ, our Saviour; essential defect, this right; what was that there was no Mithra; he was only a Mith. Nosticism was founded on an idea; not a person. Mithralism was founded on allegory, not a person. But the human soul cries out for some manifestation of God in the form of actual, historic personality. There were the four men who defended the faith pre-eminently in the second and fourth centuries: Justin, the apologist; Irenaeus, the theologian; Clement, the theologian; and the presentator. These were the men who defended the faith against the three, agnostics—prejudice, heresy and competition. A Prayer. Our Heavenly Father and trust Friend, who hast so loved and saved us, the thought of Whom is sweet and always growing sweeter, come and dwell in our hearts; then Thou will keep watch-on our lips, our deeds, and we shall not need to be anxious either for our souls or our bodies. Give us charity, sweetest of all gifts, which knows no enemy. Give us in our hearts pure love, born of Thy love to us, that we may love others as Thou lovest. Loving Father of Jesus Christ, from Whom floweth all love, let our hearts, frozen in sin; cold to Thee and cold to others, be warmed by this divine fire. So help and bless us through Christ, Thy Son.

The time—"the set time"—for doing this has come. Happy are they, who can discern the times, and respond to the call of God, and man. Blessed are they, who sow beside all water—Reverj. F. W. Macdonald. Condemnation of Sin. Sin against the body must be condemned as severely as sin against the soul. JAPANESE SHADES ARE BEST. Even with the perfection attained of late years in other means for artificial lighting, lamps still retain a wide popularity. The sentimental charm that is attached to many antique objects and customs is not the only cause for the estimation in which lamps are held. There is a substantial foundation of usefulness underlying the esthetic enjoyment of the old style. An occasional dependence, if modern mechods suddenly fall, keeps the manufacture of lamps on a permanent basis. With the exception of an open fire, nothing is such an important factor in making a room cheerful and comfortable as properly shaded lights. The shops contain all sorts of bizarre lamp shades, made of every conceivable material, ranging from frivolous spangled fulle to heavy leather etched with scowling Indian faces, but the prices of these often are prohibitive, and there is nothing simple and artistic exhibited for modern tastes. It is with the hope of filling this need that the lantern lamp shade is offered. The shade is adapted from the lanterns made by the Japanese. These wonderful, artisans carry their creed of "beauty and strength united with simplicity" into the manufacture of the most insignificant articles they have. Some of their lanterns are works of art. The rims, made of teakwood, and the bamboo frames covered with fine silks, are decorated exquisitely by these infinitable artists.—Washington Star. A Practical Example There is a certain naval officer of the United States who is very much opposed to the use of profanity by the officers under his command. Indeed, he has been known severely to reprimand, in private, officers on his ships heard to address their men in profane terms. The following story is told concerning this admiral's command of a squadron engaged in target manoeuvres in Magdalena Bay, Lower California. The commanding officer observed one day that the men of his ship, the flagship, seemed to lag behind the crews of the other vessels of the squadron, being the last to finish the execution of a command or to carry out a manoeuvre. He mentioned this fact to his captain. Just as the latter was about to reply there came floating over the water from the vessel standing by the flagship a volley of oaths, the result of which was that there was some pretty hustling on the part of the men addressed. Glancing at his superior officer with a smile, the captain replied: "That's it, sir. You see, sir, my men don't get enough encouragement like that."—Harper's Weekly. Coquelln's Stage Fright. One fine day, just as I was walking on, I got the trac (blue funk), and could not speak my lines. I turned hopelessly and with pleading eyes toward the leading lady, who could not go on with her part until I had spoken; but, for all help, she missed at me from between her teeth; "Parle donc, petit animal!" Of such was the "encouragement" I received on one memorable occasion—Reminiscences in London Telegraph.

Useable for Complete Care by Cultivar "About fifteen or eighteen years ago cozema developed on top of my burns and itched so much that I was compelled to show it to a doctor. He pronounced it ringworm. After trying his different remedies the disease increased and went up my arms and to my legs and finally on my face. The burning was something terrible. I went to another doctor who had the reputation of being the beat in town. He told me it was cozema. His medicine checked the advance of the disease but no further.

Willimantic, Conn.—"For five years I suffered untold agony from female troubles, causing backache, irregularities, dizziness and nervous prostration. It was impossible for me to walk up stairs without stopping on the way. I tried three different doctor and each told me something different.

With the exception of Shakespeare, no writer is more indelibly printed on the English mind and character than John Bunyan. Even to-day there are hundreds of villages throughout the country where the Bible and Bunyan compose the entire library of the inhabitants. His death occurred in the year of grace 1688. Bunyan was born at Elston, a small village near Bedford, in 1628. His father was a tinker, who had his forge at Elston. He was married three times, John being the first child of his second wife. According to Bunyan himself, he never went to school. All he learned—which was very little beyond reading and writing—he picked up as best he could at home. But even such studies were soon denied him, for his father early had need of him in the workshop. At the age of sixteen his mother died; shortly after his father married again, and as the home conditions were thoroughly uncongenial John Bunyan left and enlisted as a soldier. These were the days of the Civil War, when the country was divided between Royalists and Parliamentarians. Bedforshire was most decidedly on the side of the latter. It is more than probable, therefore, that young Bunyan fought against the King. But, however, that may be, little is heard of him again until, the army being disbanded, he returned home and married. At the time he was scarcely twenty, his wife about the same age, neither had a penny to bless themselves with, their united worldly goods amounting to two religious books, the dowry of his wife. But these two volumes were the making of Bunyan; he read and re-read them, until at last "the ungodilest fellow for swearing that was ever heard," for such was the epithet applied to him in his youth, became a changed being; he thought of nothing but religion and the future of his soul, in all of which speculations he was encouraged by his wife. For some years, as he tells us in his "Grace Abounding," the most fierce conflict raged within him; he had heard some old women discussing the "things of God," Hope and fear, joy and despair, torments, illusions, in short, doubts as to the truth of Christianity, nearly drove him mad. In the end he was converted to the faith and joined the Nonconformists, of which sect these women were members. His wife dying about this time, he removed with his two children, one of whom was blind, to Bedford, where he nearly died himself. On his recovery he was selected a deacon by his sect. At the restoration, the old acts against Nonconformity being revived, John Bunyan, who continued his preaching despite the law, was arrested and imprisoned. It is more to his credit that, although he was aware of the warrant issued against him, he refused to save himself by flight. Ultimately he was tried and condemned, and for the next twelve years prison was his earthly home. Shortly after his committal it was discovered that the trial was irregular. On this score he might have been released, for it seems that the justices were really anxious to be rid of him. On Bunyan, however, stating that he was firmly resolved to commence preaching again if his freedom was granted, there was no help for it but to keep him under lock and key. Again, on the occasion of Charles II.'s coronation, Bunyan refused to take advantage of the royal clemency, which was extended to all but felons. Up to this time his many admirers had done all in their power to bring about his release on terms that he would accept. Repeated failure, however, damped their efforts, and so he remained a prisoner until 1672. The bulk of his time he gave up to writing tracts and books, of which he produced a great number, his crowning effort being "The Pilgrim's Progress." Released at last from his prison cell, Bunyan found the religious atmosphere of the outside world completely changed. King Charles had suspended all penal statutes against Nonconformists, and more, Bunyan received a royal license to preach. He was not slow to take advantage of the occasion; his ministerial labors increased a hundredfold. His persecution at an end, little more of consequence was heard of him. He preached anywhere, always attracting huge audiences. It is said that on one occasion 1200 people collected to hear him in London at 7 o'clock on a winter morning. One most important feature of Bunyan's ministrations must not be lost sight of. He never on a single occasion throughout his whole life brought politics into his preaching. In 1688, at the age of sixty, he was attacked by what was then known as "sweating sickness." On his recovery, being called to Reading to effect a family reconciliation, he caught a chill, which cost him his life—London Globe. Pollen Travels Far.

When one sees the surface of a house or other building scaling, or peeling, or spotted or blistered, or showing other symptoms of paint "disease," it is evident that a poor painter has been on the job, or that poor paint was used—or possibly that a good painter has been dominated by a property-owner who knew nothing about paint.

Worn' Out and Prostrated With a Treacherous Trouble. Miss Emma Shirley, Kill Buck, N.

President Taft's White Steamer THE FIRST WHEEL CAR PRESIDENT TAFT AND HIS FAMILY IN THEIR WHITE STEAMER. When the announcement was made several months ago that Mr. Taft would use an automobile, instead of carriages, during his term as President, much rivalry developed among the leading manufacturers for the honor of selling him a car, and the public watched with interest to see what Mr. Taft's choice would be. The knowing ones predicted that the White Steamer would be selected, and they pointed out that President Roosevelt had used White Steamers for two years at his summer home at Oyster Bay, and had recommended this make to Mr. Taft as the most desirable. This prediction proved correct, although Mr. Taft did not rely solely on Mr. Roosevelt's recommendation, but with his usual thoroughness, determined to have an investigation made of all the principal makes. Accordingly, he asked several officers of the War Department to look into the matter for him, and they tested many makes of cars, visited a number of factories, so that they might see what materials were used, and, finally, they investigated the records of the different types of cars in public contests and in private service.

"Everybody says confidence is restored," reflected Uncle Allen Sparks, in the Chicago Tribune, "and I suppose it is; but I notice that the manufacture of cash registers still keeps a whole town busy." the officials reported unanimously to Mr. Taft in favor of the White, and accordingly a car of this make was immediately ordered from the manufacturers, The White Company, of Cleveland. The new car was delivered to Mr. Taft in Washington a few days before his inauguration, and since that time it has been in almost constant use. There has not been a day when the President or some members of his family have not been seen riding around the National Capital in the new car. It is hinted that Mr. Taft likes fast traveling, and that when he rides out into the open country, he does not always insist that the speed of the car be kept within the legal limits. E. W.

Mombasa, British East Africa.—Mombasa is preparing already to welcome Theodore Roosevelt, and his coming has given a decided impetus to the interest in the present hunting season. The Governor of the protectorate, Lieutenant-Colonel Sir James Hayes Sadler, is arranging a program of welcome and entertainment for the distinguished visitor, but in spite of these arrangements the greeting to Mr. Roosevelt will be more to the great sportsman, whose fame is well known to local hunters, than to the former President. East African sportmen 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 a game to extend instead of confining himself to the two elephants, two rhinoceroses, two hippopotamus, etc., of the regular license. Lions and leopards are classed as vernin and consequently no license to kill them is required. R. J.

Everything points stay in British East. 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. The rains are late this year, and a heavy fall is expected (the regular time for the "big rains" is from the end of January to the end of April). The prospects for good hunting this season are considered excellent. Many researchers in the outlying districts, realizing the increasing interest in the prospects for sport 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, was seen on the Nandi plateau recently at a point about fifty miles north of Port Florence (the Nandi plateau is on the west side of the great Rift Valley). Among them are three huge males. Four families, of giraffes have been seen at Makindu, 200 miles inland from here on the line of the Uganda Railroad, and elephants have been seen at Elburg, 475 miles inland on the railroad. MESSINA'S UNI Estimated at 60,000 and 111 All the Bodies of the MESSINA'S UNBURIED DEAD. Estimated at 60,000 and It May Take a Year to Find All the Bodies of the Earthquake Victims. Rome, Italy.—The General in command at Messina, who is in charge of the removal of the dead, estimates the number of bodies still awaiting burial at about 60,000. Most of them lie several feet deep under the rubbish from fallen houses. The work of clearing the debris from the streets is proceeding very slowly. A man is moving the removed and buried on any day when the work is carried on without interruption for twelve hours. The pravailing bad weather is hampering the work greatly and often stops it, as the rain changes the debris into soft mud, which the first sunny day hardens to the consistency of cement. The soldiers and workmen have to break this with pikaxes instead of clearing it away with shovels. Often a week passes without any bodies being extracted, and at the rate at which the work is being done more than a year will be required before all the victims in Messina are buried. For some uncommon reasons, Government officials want to keep this a secret, and an attempt to send the story by wire some days ago failed, owing to the activity of the press censor. It is probable that the Government now realizes its mistake in recalling too soon the greater number of soldiers and sailors engaged in the work of burial. DR. LYMAN ABBOTT'S ON WHAT MAKES Brooklyn.—"To be an ideal woman a sermon in the Central Congregations represented in each individual must "1. Discard all shoes the size of possible. "2. She must not consider her of work. "3. To obtain red cheeks, the size pass by paint and powder. "4. She must not be the servant are her servants. "5. She must not change her age. "6. Her home must be her palace love of beauty and shown she knows her. "7. She must be industrious, motherly and a true friend." DR. LYMAN ABBOTT'S SEVEN RULES ON WHAT MAKES AN IDEAL WOMAN Brooklyn.—"To be an ideal woman," said Dr. Lyman Abbott, in a sermon in the Central Congregational Church, "the feminine type represented in each individual must: 1. Discard all shoes the size of which makes walking well nigh impossible. 2. She must not consider her hands when it comes to a question of work. 3. To obtain red cheeks, the ideal woman must take exercise and pass by paint and powder. 4. She must not be the servant of the dressmaker and milliner. They are her servants. "5. She must not change her styles at the distation of men in Paris, because she has become the one she was designed to love of beauty and shown she knows how to create it." "7. She must be industrious, sympathetic, energetic, enthusiastic, motherly and a true friend." Continuing, Dr. Abbott said: "A woman's idea of modern industry is playing bridge whilst mourning and night. Her idea of modern life is to be supported by some one else. "The ideal woman does not consider work unwomanly. She be lieves that whatever concerns her husband concerns her. 'If the ideal woman's family finds fault with her cooking, she does not blame the cooking. She blames the food, and changes it. "Woman was meant to be man's companion, and if the idea were properly carried out there would be no affinities." "A woman's idea of modern industry is laying bridge whilst morning and night. Her idea of modern life is to be supported by some one else. "The ideal woman does not consider work unwomanly. She believes that whatever concerns her husband concerns her. If the ideal woman's fashion finds it difficult, she does not blame the man. She blames the food, and changes it. "Woman was meant to be man's companion, and if the idea were properly carried out there would be no affinities." Russian Drugged and Left to Per- Rome, Italy.—The body of a Russian, Vladimir Tarason by name, was found in a trunk in a boarding house, locked up in the trunk, it is believed, for twenty-three days. A medical examination indicated that the man, who was about thirty years of age, had been drugged and killed in the trunk, and that he died of suffocation. Two Russians visited him shortly before his disappearance. There is no clew to their identity. --- R. J. Cuningham, a noted English big game hunter and field naturalist, who is to be guide to and general manager of the Roosevelt party, has been here for some time completing the preparations for the trip into the wilderness as well as the shooting and collecting excursions along the line of the railroad. He is selecting and hiring native porters for the expedition. He takes only experienced men who are known to be courageous and to possess great physical strength. The "safari" kit—in other words, the camp equipment for the work in the open—is arriving from London, and all will be in readiness when Mr. Roosevelt arrives. The railroad car used on the line as far as Port Florence by other distinguished visitors to Uganda, such as the Duke of Mecklenburg, the Duke of Connaught, the Duke of the Abruzzi, Joseph Chamberlain and Winston Spencer Churchill, is being refitted for the use of Mr. Roosevelt. 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. TAME HUNTING, SAYS ANOTHER. Captain Smiley Says Many Hunters Have Made Lions Gun-Shy. San Francisco, Cal.—Captain A. J. Smiley, who is said to have served with the Irish Brigade in the Boer war, says that the hunting grounds where ex-President Roosevelt plans to spend his vacation are nothing but a huge game preserve, and that the hunter will have a tame time. The captain claims to have hunted over this ground many times, and he asserts that the lion have been not at so often they have become gun-shy. The Duke of Manchester, according to Captain Smiley, is said to have shot over the country which Roosevelt will traverse without bagging any game. Smiley says he has written to Roosevelt suggesting that he go to a portion of Africa where elephants could be met in droves. BURIED DEAD. It May Take a Year to Find the Earthquake Victims.

Proof That He's Nearsighted Unfits an Oyster Bed Watchman. Trenton, N. J. — The Civil Service Commission received its first request for the removal of an officeholder here. It came from an oyster grower of South Jersey who objected to a watchman; saying: "He isn't a good watchman because he is nearsighted. A nearsighted watchman can't do the work. I know he is nearsighted, because if he wasn't he could see his own father and brother stealing my oysters right along." The watchman says complainant is merely sarcastic. TO GO ON THE PUBLIC ROADS Farm Will Be Purchased as Early as Possible and the White Convicts Will Work it. Atlanta, Ga.—The white convicts of the state will have, to be placed temporarily upon the public roads. There appears to be no escape from this disposition of them following Governor Smith's refusal to approve the purchase of the Wimberly place in Twiggs county as a state prison farm. It is not that the prison commission will refuse to make further effort find a farm which conforms to its ideas to what the law contemplates, but that as the Jumper stated, the commission does not at present know of any other available farm which, in its opinion, would fill the bills. The commission, Chairman Turner stated, will proceed with its investigations with a view to finding and buying a farm at the earliest possible date, but to do this in time to take care of the white convicts on April 1, or at any time within the next month or more, he states, would be manifestly impossible. It is practically settled, therefore, that the 300 white convicts of the state will have to go temporarily on the public roads. The commission will not, however, distribute them pro rata among the counties of the state. It is its purpose to dispose of them as "overs" or as the new law contemplated "overs" should be disposed of, should there be any. The white convicts will be sent chiefly to the larger counties of the state, such as Fulton, Richmond, Bibb and others if they are prepared to take them and work them separate and apart from the negro convicts. It is said that Fulton would take all of them if the commission should so award them, but it is likely they will be divided among three or four of the larger counties. This policy will be pursued because of the fact that the programs will be only temporary and it is the commission's purpose to get a farm and put them on it just as soon as it can do so. LIOUOR LEAGUE PROHIBITION LAW. Model License Organization Suggests a Vote of People Be Taken Atlanta, Ga.—Depunite' proof of the fact that the manufacturers and dealers in whisky and other alcoholic beverages are making a concerted effort to bring about certain changes in the present prohibition law in this state, has recently come to light in the shape of a letter that has just been received by a member of the Georgia legislature from an organization of liquor men known as the National Model License League, with headquarters in Louisville, Ky. It is presumed that every member of the legislature has received a similar communication. The letter requests that the voters of Georgia be given an opportunity of expressing their exact wishes in regard to the sale and use of alcoholic beverages. The 'manner in which this may be done, according to the letter, is by permitting the people of the state to vote for or against the saloon license, the tavern license or the merchants' license. The term saloon license is self-planetary, tavern license is explained as a license to permit liquor to be used with meals at hotels, while a merchants' license is one that allows liquor to be sold in original packages not to be opened on the premises of the merchant. In case no form of license were adopted, prohibition would be the result. The letter states that the league does not favor the sale of alcoholic beverages in territory where the people do not want to use liquor and that the league will not oppose any law against the use of liquor in prohibition territory. GEORGIA PEACH UNHURT. Fruit` Growers Believe Crop is Now Practically Beyond Danger. Adairsville, Ga.—It seems that the Georgia peach crop for 1909 may be safely said to be practically without the pale of danger with reference to the possibility of serious damage from severe frost or free. Such is the opinion of prominent growers here, which is the heart of the Elberta station of northern Georgia. As the orchards about Adairsville are the ones that are farthest north in the state, they are the ones most likely to be affected by the cold. The fact that they are pronounced safe by the usual method of that section is a pretty good indication that the 1909 peach crop throughout the state is in good way to bring a normal crop in point of quantity, and one that will be most satisfactory in the quality of fruit produced. BLEACHED FLOUR BARRED. Cannot Be Sold in Georgia After October First. Next. Atlanta, Ga.—In line with the recently promulgated decision of the national department of agriculture, under the pure food law, forbidding the interstate shipment and traffic in flour bleached with nitrogen peroxide after July 1, 1909, the state department of agriculture issued an official order prohibiting the sale of such bleached flour in Georgia after October 1 next. The mill men will stop using the bleaching process at once, and will have time before the order goes into effect to dispose of the stocks now on hand. It is said that 75 to 80 per cent of the flour now sold in Georgia is bleached by the nitrogen peroxide process, because it results in making a whiter flour and enables the mill to use a larger portion of the wheat than is the case where flour is not bleached. It will readily be seen, therefore, what an extensive effect this order will have on the flour trade in this state. Most of the flour mills in Georgia employ the nitrogen peroxide process in bleaching. They will have to discontinue this and stop the use of expensive plants. STATE GLEANINGS. The prison commission has issued an order prohibiting the use in future of chains or shackles of any kind upon female convicts, either in the state penitentiary or on county chainingangs. The order grew out of a case in Clarke county in which shackles were placed upon a white woman, recently convicted of a misdemeanor. The commission's attention was attracted to the matter through the newspaper reports. The commission's order on the subject follows: "It is ordered by the prison commission that the following rule be, and the same hereafter adopted, subject to the approval of the governor: No. 14. No chains or shackles shall be placed upon any female in the penitentiary or chainingangs. The sufficient guard and other necessary must be provided to prevent escape." Governor Smith promptly signified his approval of the order. Under the new law the prison commission has jurisdiction over county chainingangs, and the new rule will be enforced both as to these and the state penitentiary. It has been decided to make a permanent annual event of the great Southern Musical Festival that is to open in Atlanta next May the 4th, 5th and 6th. The interest which the festival has already aroused throughout the state proves that the people of Georgia and the south are eager to support such an undertaking, and that the opportunity is ripe to make this section one of the big musical centers of the United States. Hereafter it will not be necessary to go to New York to hear famous singers and performers, many of them, Garnzo being included will be heard at the festival next May. Complete rural delivery service has been ordered established in Murray county, Georgia, December 6, 1909. The number of rural offices in the county is ten, seven of which are new and originate from offices within the county, as follows: Carters, one, Chatsworth, one; Cisco, one; Crandall, one; Eton, one; Fairy one; Ramhurst, one; Spring Place, three. A monument to the Georgia soldiers who participated in the seige of Vicksburg is being looked forward to by the Vicksburg Park commission, which is said to be actively interested in furthering the project for the monument. The monument is in contemplation now. The raising of funds will soon be undertaken, and it is possible that the state of Georgia may be asked to share in the expense. The park is a national military reservation and is rapidly filling up with monuments to the memory of the brave men who fought over its territory. The Georgia branch of the Ananias club is being rapidly promoted by Governor Hoke Smith, who replies to Commissioner Wiley Williams on that state farm proposition and says, among other things, that "the statement that the commission was ready to report to me two weeks before March 11 can not be true." The governor doesn't mince words by applying to Mr. Williams's published statement. He says the selection of the old Milledgeville, farm was one blunder and he wishes to save the state from another. He says the prison commission had plenty of time to select a farm and there has been "no excuse for delay." He says the Wimberly farm, the choice of the commission, is partly swamp land, unhealthy and subject to overflow, and he doesn't understand how the commissioners ever picked it out nor why they can not choose from a list of better tracts. In conclusion, he takes up the expressed intention of the commissioners to work the white convicts on the public roads, and intimates strongly that such a plan is calculated to render the abolition of the lease system unpopular. "Surely this can not be the desire of the commission?" he concludes. "It certainly is not my desire." An advance of 10 per cent of the 1909 school fund will be distributed among the teachers of the state immediately, notwithstanding the heavy drains made upon the treasury by the prepayment of pensions and other matters since the first of the year. Governor Smith authorized State School Commissioner Pound to prepare for the distribution of $225,000. This advance on the school fund will relieve conditions that have lately been growing somewhat strained. Pay is unexpectedly coming to teachers who had begun to reconcile themselves to doing without till the end of the year. Theoretically the school fund is not available for distribution till the general taxes are in along toward the last of each year. Assistant State Commissioner of Agriculture R. F. Wright is in Habersham county on a tour of inspection of the dread "cattle tick." Mr. Wright will visit a number of counties, where the cattle disease has appeared. Now that it has been determined that the white convicts of the state must go temporarily on the public roads, because of the failure of agreement between Governor Smith and the prison commission relative to the purchase of a farm, the question is being asked, why should they not stay there and save the state the expense of purchasing a high-priced farm? This view of the matter was in considerable favor in the discussion at the capitol following the governor's action in disapproving the commission's request to "remove" the state of Georgia are tired of this maudlin sentimentality which is trying to force the view that the white convicts are too good to work on the public roads,".sald a prominent south Georgian, and a former judge of the superior court, while on a visit to the capitol. From the talk that comes from many sections of the state there appears to be no doubt that this view is somewhat generally shared. The people, of course, want the convicts treated humely, and properly, and there is no reason, it is said, why that cannot be done just as well on the public roads, and the farm. In of these facts, the question is asked, why should the state spend $80,000 to $80,000 for a farm for the white convicts, when they can just as well, 'and as advantageously, be kept on the public roads. Each lodge must send in its annual report and fees to the Grand Secretary immediately after the first meeting in this month. Do not delay. Render each report on time. This is imperative. Open your lodge on time, and call off likewise. This will cause many old members to be frequent visitors. The curse of the age is the fierce mercenary spirit which is crowding out the higher aspirations of men and causing to bow down before the golden calf, forgetful of the duties they owe to one another. Men are shrivelling up their souls in the mad passion for gold. Deaf to the appeal for help, they excuse themselves with the selfish question, "Am I my brother's keeper?" It is well that in this maelstrom is to be found the moral force of Freemasonry, checking the communistic spirit of the age and directing mankind toward the accomplishment of better things. Try This. There are three things which officers of lodges should feel themselves honor bound to do, viz.: First: They should be in their places promptly, and see that their lodges are opened on time. Secondly: They should learn and do their work to the very best of their ability. Thirdly: They should be watchful and zealous as to the requutation of their lodges, and should not hesitate to enforce discipline against willful offenders. An officer in a Masonic lodge is a post of honor, of responsibility and of labor. That officer who falls to ro the labor or shrinks the responsibility is unworthy of the honor of the position which he occupies. No brother has a moral right to occupy a station, and then, by the neglect of the duties which it imposes, greatly inconvenience the members of his lodge, and thereby injures Freemasonry. It is an exceedingly reprehensible practice for Masters to be indifferent about opening their lodges at the appointed time. If the brethren want to talk and have a social time, let it be done after and not before the lodge meeting. Then those who want to go home can do so, and no injury done. I know from personal experience that it decreases attendance upon lodge meetings for officers to be late or irregular in opening the lodge.

The interior was provided with a tray, which was divided into three divisions, so that the different kinds of towels could be kept separate.—New Haven Register.
