DUTY ON COTTON GOODS $39,000,000 Tariff Paid Annually By Cotton Manufacturers. MAKING OF A TARIFF BILL Difficult and Tedious Task to Frame Schedule of Duties---Figures for the Year 1907. Washington, D. C.—Under the present tariff law cotton manufacturers bring into the treasury one-seventh of the total amount collected through the custom house. Twelve articles, or rather classes of articles, pay three-fourths of the tariff duty collected by the United States. The average amount collected is $300,000,000, and of this cotton manufacturers pay $29,000,000. In the year 1907, which is the year Senator Aldrich figures on in making his calculations as to the probable proceeds of the tariff bill, the high- water mark in customs collections was reached. In that year $29,000, 000 in duties were collected. The following twelve articles led all the others in contributing this sum: Cotton manufactures . . . $39,000,000 Sugar . . . 60,000,000 Manufacturers of fiber. . . 22,000,000 Manufacturers of silk . . . 20,000,000 Manufacturers of wool. . . 20,000,000 Rag wool. . . 16,500,000 Spirits, wines and malt li- quors . . . 16,000,000 Manufacturers of iron and steel . . . 12,000,000 Earthen and china ware. . . 8,000,000 Chemicals, drugs and dyes. . 7,500,000 Fruits and nuts. . . 7,000,000 Total $250,000,000 These figures are taken from an elaborate statement covering, in outline, the tariff history of the past 88 years, which has just been published by the bureau of statistics of the de department of commerce and labor. The difficulties to be met and overcome in shaping a revenue tariff bill are such as almost appall the imagination. Duties are not assessed against articles of one kind or articles in one class at a uniform rate, but the rate of duty differs with the varying qualities of goods. For instance, in the cotton schedule the number of threads to the square inch in the cloth is made the basis for assessing the tariff duty. Details of fixing the rates of duty, and of determining the amount of duty which should be paid and of calculating the amount actually collected, are, after all, most difficult and tedious, and explain in some degree the difficulties of the task of making a new tariff. FILIPINO GIFT FOR PRESIDENT TAFT. Large Suit Case Made of 128 Different Kinds of Wood. Washington, D. C.—The president has received a unique present from the Philippines in the form of a large suit case, which was used by John S. Hord, collector of internal revenue; in bringing to Washington commercial and individual statistics for use in considering Philippine tariff legislation. The frame is of mahogany blocks of native wood—about one and the front is made of small inlaid hundred and twenty different specimens, highly polished and bearing the initials, "W. H. T." in native gold and the initials, "P. L." in native mother of pearl. The back and sides are composed of caribou hides, and the handle is a piece of Manila hemp with the inscription "Taft-Payne Philippine tariff" in gold letters. The gold was mined in Benguet, and the Pearl in Jolo. The materials were contributed by Mr. Taft's various friends in the Philippines. The presentation was made at the white house by General Edwards, chief of the insular bureau of the war department. FORCED TO FORGE NOTES. Man Made to Keep Forging to Pay Up What He, Had, Stolen. Chicago, Ill.-Peter Van Vlissingen, the former real estate man, brought back from prison to testify in the bankruptcy court and who caused a sensation by stating that his forgeries were known to two of his victims four years before his public confession last winter, gave additional details of his story in court. The men to 'whom he alleges he privately imparted a confession of his guilt are Maurice Rosenfeld and Bernard Rosenberg, both men of reputed wealth and social position, and who are alleged to have forced Van Vlissingen to attempt to make good $400,000 worth of forged mortgages which had come forth into their hands. To do this, Van Vlissingen declares he committed still further forgeries. HE SIGNED WIFE'S NAME. Husband Sought to Get Money From a Wealthy Man. Kansas-City, Mo., Chester M. Hamaheer, in the federal court here, pleaded guilty to a charge of signing his wifes name to love letters which he wrote to Neil Johnson, a wealthy man of Atchison, Kans., and he was sentenced to a year in jail. "Please send me $10 by return mail. Here are a million kisses for you," was the objectionable part of the letters to the federal officials. Johnson was mulcted of nearly $500 before he knew of the deception. Hamsheers wife knew nothing of the affair until her husband was exposed. COOPERS DENIED NEW TRIAL Famous Murder Case Has Been Appealed to the Supreme Court. Nashville, Tenn.-Judge William M. Hart overruled the motion for a new trial of the case of Colonel Duncan B., and Robin J. Cooper, recently convicted of the murder of former United States Senator E. W. Carmack. The defense at once gave notice of an appeal to the supreme court, and waived the formal sentence of twenty years in the penitentiary. The defendants were in court early. Mrs. Lucius, Burch came in with her father and brother. The colonel was attired in a new black suit, and appeared in excellent spirits. Robin was pale and ill at ease. Judge Hart's opinion was brief and clear. He said: "The motion in the case of the state against D. B. and Robin Cooper is now before the court. After giving due and careful consideration to all the reasons assigned in the motion, the court is of the opinion that there is no ground for setting aside the verdict of the jury, and therefore the motion is overruled. "We will pray for an appeal to the supreme court," said Judge Anderson, "and waive formal sentence," "It is granted," retorted Judge Hart. "We ask for time to perfect our appeal, and that the bond be fixed," said Anderson. "The bond will remain the same," announced the court. The same bondsmen again qualified, After court adjourned Judge Hart commented to some friends upon the fact that the killing of Ike Morse by a young woman who claims he had abandoned her, was the tenth murder in this county since the Cooper trial began on January 20th, and makes twenty-nine murder cases now on the county docket. MADE ANARCHIST APOLOGIZE Miners' Leader Insulted Flag—Coxo Forced Apology. Sacramento, Cal.—William D. Haywood, president of the Western Federation of Mine Workers, and his press agent, A. Meyer, were made to apologize by Captain E. J. Coxe, an officer in the United States Army during the Spanish-American war, for an insult to the American flag. The incident occurred in the lobby of the State House Hotel, after Haywood had lectured here. Meyer wore a red flag in his buttonhole and remarked that he hoped to see that emblem wave above the stars and stripes. Coxe demanded an apology, threatening to punch Meyer. Haywood appeared and told Coxe of his identity, but Coxe replied: "So you are Bill Haywood, eh? Well, you and your friend will eat your words or I will break your faces." Haywood apologized and left the hotel with Meyer. TREMENDOUS INVESTMENTS. Over $350,000,000 in Cotton Mills of the Country. Boston, Mass.—Investments of more than $350,000,000 were reported at the annual meeting of the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers, which was held in this city. Textile manufacturers from all sections of the United States were present. The mills represented by the 10,000 members of the association operate 20,000,000 spindles, 1,500,000 sets of wool and worsted cards, 6,000 knitting machines and 75 printing machines. This year, for the first time, an exhibition of cotton machinery, mill supplies and general textile products was a supplementary feature of the convention. Friends of Goebel Threaten Taylor. Frankfort, Ky.—Governor Wilson was hanged in effigy at Ghent, in Carroll county, and the body, made of straw, swung in the public square many hours. There was a card on the effigy which read as follows: "Gus Wilson, friend of the American Tobacco company, governor who pardoned guilty and bloody assassins. Bill Goebel is dead, but his friends aint. Let Taylor come back and wo will fix him." Croker Goes Away. New York City.—Richard Croker sailed for Europe. He announced his attention of returning to America next year and of spending some time in the fishing bungalow which he is to have on the Florida coast near Palm Beach. Beach Harals Found Gullty. Ivine, Ky.—The jury in the case of Beach Hargis, who was tried on a charge of killing his father, Judge James Hargis, returned a verdict of guilty, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment. Man Falls 350 Feet New York City.-Falling three hundred and fifty feet from the thirty-fourth story of a skyscraper on Madison Square, Thomas Mortimore, 42 years of age, was instantly killed. Hundreds of people were watching him at work, and saw him fall. To Tax Each Immigrant $12 Washington, D. C.-Senator Overman of North Carolina offered an amendment to the tariff bill, by which he proposes to place on each immigrant coming into the United States a head tax of $12. Mr. Overman estimated the tax he proposed would bring to the government $6,000,000 to $10,000,000 revenue. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, MAY 1, 1909. BREAK SOLID SOUTH President Taft Says That is One of His Ambitions. GOOD OPPOSITION NECESSARY Philadelphia, Pa.—President Taft was the principal speaker at the Grant birthday dinner of the Union League in this city and paid a striking tribute to the soldier-president. $M_r$. Taft was sharply criticized a year ago because of certain of his references to General Grant, and he took advantage of this opportunity to express anew his admiration for General Grant. President Taft, following his almost invariable custom, spoke extemporaneously, at times in a half quizzical manner, and there was frequent laughter, as well as applause, at his reference to political conditions in the south. "What I wish particularly to dwell upon was the spirit of the peace at Appomattox, represented on the one hand by the magnanimity and far-sightedness of Grant and by the self-restrain and courage and far-sighted patriotism (for it was that) on the part of Lee, in bringing the struggle to a close. That spirit at Appomattox is today, I trust, triumphant. "But, what I mean to point out is, that spirit we now rejoice in, as we find between the two sections, no remaining bitterness, is a spirit that as between the two great commanders existed the day that they shook hands and signed the terms of surrender. "It is a matter that I have very much at heart. I believe it is possible to make the two sections even closer together. The south is a more homogeneous people than we, Emigration into this country spread over the north and west, not in the south, and the south preserved its traditions longer than did we in the north. Added to that trait and quality of the fact that for a long time the tracer of war and the sufferings from war were present to them, and always they have present the colored race, to bring back recollection of the strife: Prosperity has come to the south. "Some changes, I fear, are necessary in fixed economic principles to promote the business of the south. We are all in the same boat in a more emphatic sense than we ever were before in the history of the country—I mean business boat—and they of the south, especially their business men, are trembling in the balance of doubt as to just where they are politically. "I am not making a republican speech, and I am not speaking from a republican standpoint; at least, I hope I can separate myself from that disposition natural to one who went through the last campaign. Speaking from the standpoint, I hope, of real patriotic interest in my country, I look forward into the next decade—not with the hope that the south shall become republican and make the country all republican, for staucen as I am in my support of the republican party, I think a good opposition, good strong opposition, is necessary to make the republican party, if it is to control the government, useful to the people, and a defeat at times would not hurt it. "What I am looking forward to is a division in the parties in the south, so that there shall be tolerance of political opinion there, so that in their state government and in their national affairs there shall be more than one political creed to be subscribed to and supported. I believe that generally through the south the men who are not actively engaged in politics would recognize that end as one devoutly to be wished. "in expressing these desires, I am quite conscious that my motives are likely to be misconstrued, or, at least, that I shall have attributed to me rather more political policy than patriotic desire, but, nevertheless, I persist in expressing it, and while some of my friends from the south, who represent that section in congress and in the senate, are constantly throwing cold water on my attempts to encourage a little independence of political thinking in the south and saying that it is hopeless for me to attempt to bring about a change in that regard, they will excuse me if I attribute to them a little of that political prejudice that they think is actuating me (laughter), and it is possible they would not welcome the division of political opinion in the south with all the fervor of some other patriots in that section who do not hold now the position of representative and senator in Washington. $1,000,000,000 MERGER. E. H. Harriman Plans to Combine 12,000 Miles of Road. New York City—According to a report circulated* in this city, E. H. Harriman has instructed counsel in this and other cities to devise a means of merging the New York Central lines into one $1,000,000,000 corporation, with a central management and one treasury. This, if effected, would operate more than 12,000 miles of railroad, including the New York Central, West Shore, Lake Shore, Lake Shore and Michigan, Southern, Cleveland, Cinchnati, Chicago and St. Louis, Pittsburg and Lake Erie, Lake Erie and Western and the Canadian Southern. NEW SULTAN REIGNS. Realizing Hopelessness of the Situation Former Ruler Yields. Constantinople, Turkey.—The reign of Abdul Hamid II ended with his deposition and the accession of his brother, Mehmed Reschad Enfendl, as Mehmed V., a variation of Mahomet, it being considered inappropriate to assume the precise name of the prophet. Mehmed V is the thirty-fifth sovereign of Turkey, in the male descent of the house of Osman, the founder of the empire. Constantinople, Turkey.—The Kildz garrison surrendered to the constitutionalist forces. The commanders of these battalions began sending in their submission to Mahmoud Soheket Pasha, and the whole of the troops protecting the palace gave their formal and unconditional surrender. Náci Bey, who is called the hero of the July revolution, is now in command of the garrison. Sultan-Abdul Hamid has been permitted to remain within the walls of the Yildiz Klosk, where, in company with his ministers, he waited for the outcome of the struggle between his loyal troops and the army of investment, each hour bringing him word of a fresh disaster. It has been stated, since victory rested with the constitutionalists, that the sultan himself gave orders to his men not to resist. Whether or not this is true, it can be safely said of the troops within the capital that they put up a stubborn resistance at all points, and the losses on both sides are exceedingly heavy for the length of time the engagement was in progress. A report of the commander-in-chief of the constitutionalist forces is authority for saying that the sultan will be dealt with by the parliament, and that there will be an anedquate inquiry into the sovereign's alleged complicity in the recent mutiny. Behrut, Turkey.—The situation in Aslatic Turkey is one of extreme gravity. How many thousands have been massacred cannot even be estimated, because the disturbances have been so widespread that it is impossible to obtain details of the happenings during the past ten days. The latest estimates of the number killed in the village of Adana reaches approximately 25,000 and thousands have been killed in the towns of other districts. The state of sege, which several of the places are undergoing, has brought the inhabitants to the verge of starvation, and each day brings its tales of further atrocities and the depths of misery and despair to which the savagery of the fanatics has brought the people. Washington, D. C.-While conditions In the near east continue to be alarming and unsettled, the state department has been given assurance by Great Britain through the American embassy at London that her ships on the scene are adequate to protect Americans as well as English subjects. NEWSY PARAGRAPHS. The Rev. James J. Wilson of Shelby county, Mo., has recently retired from the pastorate of the church where he preached regularly for fifty years without a salary. He was born near Manchester, Ohio, eighty years ago, and became a Presbyterian minister. He and his wife came to Missouri before the civil war and located in Knox county. Although he says he has made more than a million dollars in the prize ring, "Jem" Mace, the old-time English builgilist champion, has applied for a pension under the new British old-age annuity act. Mace who is now 77 years old, has a record of 500 appearances in the ring, and only two defeats. Prominent Chicago Jews have endorsed the stand taken by Senator Guggenheim of Colorado who demands that the immigration commission cease to classify the Jews as a race. Senator Guggenheim made his objections at a meeting of the senate census committee, following the quest of W. W. Husband, secretary of the immigration commission, that the census be so conducted that in addition to ascertaining the nationality of residents of the United States, the enumerators should also classify them as to race. "Alas!! I'm like the wandering Jew. I intend to return to Venezuela and resume my power. The Americans are the cause of all my troubles." This was the declaration of Cipriano Castro, former president of Venezuela and quite recently deported from the island of Martinique. The wandering dictator is ill in Paris and claims to be penniless, but he is maltaining a kingly suite in one of the most expensive hotels in that city. Forty bins containing nearly 200,000 bushels of grain, in the elevator of the Husted Milling and Elevator company at Buffalo, N. Y., were destroyed by fire entailing a loss of $200,000. Dr. William De Hart of Loganport, Ind., sent to John C. Davis of New York city a wallet containing $2,000 in notes and cash, which he found on the street two weeks ago. Davis was motoring through Indiana and did not discover his loss until, he was on board a train bound for home. A friend saw newspaper accounts of Dr. De Hartes finding the wallet. Davis asked the finder to keep the cash, $163. The schooner Addie and Beatrice, Captain Walters and her crew of twenty-one, which sailed from Bermuda on March 27 for Mobile, Ala., has been given up. She sailed for Bermuda from Pensacola on March 10, with a cargo of oils, and was returning to Mobile with a general cargo. MESSAGE TO THE U. D. G. President General Stone Sends Out Address. Attention of All Daughters of the Con- federacy is Called to the Pro- An address to the Daughters of the Confederacy has just been issued by the president general, and this will be read with interest by the Daughters wherever they may be. The address is as follows: To the United Daughters of the Confederacy: Again your, president sends greeting to you with all good wishes, that the spring time has brought you health and happiness and harmony of action and endeavor; with the hopeful resurrection lesson that nature teaches, that, if fruition shall come to us later, this is the season of labor. Therefore, it becomes my duty to urge you to summon your forces for the work that is before us, if the objects of our organization shall be fulfilled. The committees of the general association, U. D. C., have formulated plans for this purpose and ask your co-operation. The chairman of committee on education, Miss Mary B. Popenhelm, Charleston, has ably outlined this work, in most comprehensive form, and it is requested that state presidents and chapter presidents in states where no division exists will appoint a state committee on education to carry out her plan. State division presidents will give support and aid to the work of Mrs. J. Enders Robinson, historian general, U. D. C., for without such support she cannot execute the excellent plan proposed for the advancement of this department. State and chapter registrars are asked to respond promptly to the request of Mrs. James Britton Gantt, registrar general, U. D. C., for data and records of their office. It is well to call your attention to the near approach of the annual reunion of 'our dear veterans of the Confederacy, which will be held in Memphis, Tenn., June 8, 9 and 10. Let us rally to their banners, which will be proudly unfurled, and show them by word and deed, that we cherish their service and sacrifice, that we may still be to them, as in the past, an inspiration and strength. We honor ourselves in paying tribute to these-heroes of imperishable fame. Since my last open letter to you, Dr. J. William Jones, chaplain to General Robert E. Lee, and historian of the Confederate States, noted scholar and divine, has joined the ranks of the immortal host, who now "rest under the trees" of Life Eternal—the men who followed the command of Lee. Our loving sympathy goes out to the widow and sons, who are called to mourn this irreparable loss, for their sorrow is ours. The chief commemorative work of the general association, U. D. C., is the placing of two monuments, one on the battlefield of Shilloh—where gallantly fought and fell many of the south's bravest defenders, led by the great chieftain, Albert Odney Johnston, who fell there, a sacrifice to his southland—and the erection of a monument in the Arlington National Cemetery, where sleep some of our Confederate dead. This has a triple claim upon you, for resting as it will, on the soil of the home of Robert E. Lee, it will be a memorial to that peerless commander; again it will typify the spirit of the Confederate States, which was the defense of constitutional government; and it will further mark the spot where, through the magnanimity of a, provision of congress, honorable place was given to some of our Confederate dead, and where daily care is shown to their graves. Shall we be less thoughtful of these, our dead? The executive committee of the Arlington Confederate Monument Association, Colonel Hilary A. Herbert, chairman, is asking every chapter throughout this organization to set aside one day in the near future for concerted action in collecting funds for this purpose. The veterans are asking your assistance in the purchase of the home and birthplace of President Jefferson Davis at Fairview, Ky. Send contributions to Major John H. Leathers, Louisville, Ky. Let each chapter give something to this worty historic object. Let each of us be mindful of the valuable work being done by the "Confederate Veteran," and show appreciation by subscribing — for it keeps us in touch with much that we should know. Join with your president in making our great association of patriotic and historic value; by so doing, we honor and glorify a past, so full of heroic memories, the history of a chivalrous, valiant people. CORNELIA BRANCH STONE, President General, U. D. C. SMOKE PLAGUE CONQUERED. Federal Experts Have Been Studying Problem for Years. Washington, D. C.-The smoke plague of American cities has been conquered by science, according to the statement of federal experts, who have been studying the problem for a number of years. They not only make the assertion that smoke prevention is possible, but stand ready to prove it by demonstration to any one interested, and are proving it every day at the United States geological survey experiment station at Pittsburg, Pa. The plant is being operated absolutely without smoke, and the experts are, burning a coal considered refuse by the trade. LATE NEWS NOTES. General. Mrs. James H. Boyle, alleged as complice in the kidnapping of Willie Whitla, who is in jail at Mercer Pa. has an offer to go into vaudeville. It comes from an eastern theatrical syndicate, which wants her to appear in the afternoon and evening performances, for which she would receive $500 a week. A band of cut-throats, who have been committing brutal murders, were arrested in the village of Murchina, Russia. The principal culprits are a mother and her two daughters, who kept a tavern, assisted by two other women in the village. They murdered travelers who stopped at the inn for the night, disfigured the bodies beyond recognition and then threw them into a stream that passed near the inn. Many of these corpses have been found. In Brooklyn recently, Judge Dike sentenced a man, who pleaded guilty to attempted burglary and was indicted as a second offender, to forty-two years imprisonment in Sing Sing. The man had been out of prison only a few months, and the police say that he has been concerned in many robberies. Great excitement was caused at the navy yard in Brooklyn, N. Y., when a fire was discovered under the bow of the $11,000,000 battleship Florida, in course of construction. It was at first thought that an enemy to this government might have started the blaze, but investigation revealed that the fire probably was caused by a hot rivet which had been dropped by a workman. A chemical fire extinguisher put out the blaze. By a coincidence the Confederate memorial day, which has always been held in Louisville on the last Saturday in May, this year falls upon Decoration day. Their observance bids fair to be made a joint one, as the graves in Cave Hill cemetery lie not far apart and there has always been good feeling here between survivors of the two armies. The United States Steel corporation, in its report for the quarter ended March 31, just issued, gives its net earnings at $2,921,268 as against $2,625,485 for the quarter ended December 31, and $1,829,005 for the corresponding quarter last year. After suffering a broken arm, a broken leg, a mastoid operation and a severe scalp wound, Michael Killickle of New York City is preparing to recover and exist without a liver. Washington. Secretary of the Interior Ballinger has issued an order to the director of the geological survey to ascertain what power sites are in the public domain and not inside the national forests, with a view of obtaining legislation from congress to control and regulate their disposition. The Turkish ambassador, Hussein Kiazim Bey, presented to the state department formal notice of the accession to the throne of Mehemed V. It is believed that the ambassador will retain his post under the new government. Colonel Robert E. Lee, Jr., grandson of the noted general, former member of the Virginia legislature and a young lawyer of Fairfax county, Virginia, who has been prominently mentioned for governor of Virginia in the past few years, has announced that he is not a candidate for the democratic gubernatorial honors. The supreme court of the United States will adjourn on May 31. Sittings will be held May 2, 17 and 21 to announce decisions and to hear motions. The body of Major Pierre Charles L'Enfant, the French engineer officer who served in the continental army, designed the city hall in New York, where the continental congress met, and who planned the national capitol, was disinterred in Prince George county, Maryland, where it was buried in 1825, and was placed in the Arlington National cemetery. Brief exercises were held over the remains at the capitol, with addresses by Vice President Sherman and Ambassador Jusserand. The remains were hurled with military honors. Mrs. William H. Taft has received an offer from the mayor of Tokyo, Japan, of one thousand Japanese cherry trees, to be planted along the Riverside drive in Washington, which is to be made one of the holiday places of Washington. The offer was accepted. One hundred of the trees are available for planting at once. The original manuscript of the "Star Spangled Banner" has been located by the Francis Scott Key Memorial association, which is endeavoring to secure possession of it. While it is improbable that the owner of this precious relic, a Baltimore woman, will consent to permanently part with it, the association hopes to be able to borrow the manuscript to place on exhibition at the old Kay mansion in Georgetown, D. C. The plan of New Jersey coasters to present the nation with a summer capital has been given, fresh impetus by J. B. Greenhut giving $50,000. Long Branch and other cities are collecting a fund for the purchase of "Shadow Lawn," the $1,000,000 mansion built by the late John A. McCall, for the purpose of deeding the property to the government, to be used as a summer white house for the president. New Jersey representatives in congress have promised to see that the government accuse the president of having signified his intention to make an official trip to the Alaska-Ukon-Pacific exposition this summer, Representative Tawney introduced a bill in the house to appropriate $25,000 for the president's annual traveling expenses. ..

Everybody is 10000000000 either looking up or looking down, and they are taught how BOSSPOOSOS® ty do it. I remember attending the annual meeting of the Society for the Relief of Indigent Children. The indigent children were first fed and then insulted by a plethoric gentleman, who ad- | dressed to them a long discourse on-indigence and the various dutles that it. entailed. And no one of the children was allowed to throw things at the speaker.

The trouble is that gccd people are all the time doing | their best to make the inequalities permanent.

It is so hot that it has scalded both my thumbs."—Merkendorf Blattert The problem of the transportation of the tent has always been a difficult one for the huntman to solve. Besides being heavy, the tent is cumbersome to handle. A San Francisco inventor has devised an exceedingly unique and simple arrangement of the tent which makes transportation enter easy. As shown in the accompanying illustration, thirtieth can be disassembled into sections and converted into one or more articles of apparel. It can thus be conveniently and easily transported by the members of the camping party, making it of inestimable value to troops, hunters and campers generally. The tent shown here is composed of a number of detachable triangular sections, each section being adapted to be folded upon itself and secured at the edges, to form a poncho. For connecting the sections of the tent together buttons and buttonholes are employed. When using the tent section as a poncho the arms are passed through the connected edges between the buttons, and any device, such as a string, is tied about the waist. The device thus applauded gives the wearer free use of his arms and provides a garment fitting, with closeness, for comfort and protection for the wearer. By joining two sections a shelter tent can be made. The pole is constructed of a number of convenient-sized sections, which can be distributed among any number of hunters, etc., together with the ponchos, and the entire tent in this manner carried from one place to another without entailing any inconvenience, but, on the contrary, providing the hunter with a weather-proof garment, Washington Star. Referring to the may, the President of the Board of Trade informs us that so far as Liberals are concerned they will never concur in the inclusion of the United States as one of the two hypothetical powers against whom we ought to build.

A correspondent welcomes the new words "aviator" and "aviation," but asks whether, if "navis" gives "navigator" and "navigation," "avis" should not give "avigator" and "avigation." However, he adds tolerantly, we must not have too great a regard for such niceties after having allowed such words as "chlorodyne" (literally "green pain") to become current. Another new word, which I noticed on the boardings of a neighboring town, is "picturedrome," which; being strictly interpreted, would be a picture racecourse—not a bad name for a cinematograph show. And this naturally leads me to the skating rink advertisements, which announce that there are "three sessions daily," which, since it presumably does not refer to skating accidents, gives us quite a new meaning for an old word, remarkably different from its original one.—Manchester-Guardian. For Catching Animals. Any person who has tried to catch a pig or other small animal in even a comparatively restricted space will appreciate the value of the animal catcher invented by an Oklahomaan. By means of this device the capture of elusive little beasts is made comparatively easy, and it will no doubt be much in demand among farmers and butchers. The contrivance consists of a pair of grappling tongs with pivoted curved jaws and fold- A man using a tool to climb a tree. Jaw Selzes the Leg. table arms. One of these arms fits over a pole and a rope is slipped through a ring at one end and passed through a ring at the end of the other arm, at the same time being slipped through a short chain at the intersection. In using the catcher, the operator selzes the animal's leg with the jaws of the instrument and pulls the rope, which closes the jaws tight. Conservation. The resources of the earth are the basis of our national wealth. By means of them alone, in material things, comes leadership among the nations. The conservation movement now fully under way embraces the forest movement as one of its sources and great divisions. Thus the cause of forest conservation throughout the country has won a powerful ally and a more effective support for the work that lies just before us. -Gifford Pinchot, in New England Magazine. THE PULPIT AN ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY DR. C. F. WRISTLE Theme: Spiritual Bindness. --- Drooklyn, N.Y.—Dr. G. F. J. Wrigley, rector of Grace, church on the Heighu, preached Sunday, morning on "Sphirital Blindness." The text was from Luke 4:18; "He hath sent me to recovering, of sight to the blind." Dr. Wrigley said. The text is part of a quotation from the prophecy of Isaiah, 11z. "The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor. He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, and recovering of sight, to the blind. To set at liberty them that are brushed." When one spindles that passage, says a modern writer, it recalls the famous text of the Arab chief, when folded it could be carried in the hand; when opened it sheltered his tribe. The passage contains the keynote of the teaching of Jesus, and it shows how inerringly He selected the very heart of the Jewish system upon which to found His own. It shows us the profound truth of His statement, that He came not to destroy, but to fulfil the Law. Many years ago a modern infidel philosopher of a shallow mind pointed out the fact that Moses had made some mistakes in figures, and also that he had not been very well instructed in science, or he would have constructed a different cosmogony from the one found in Genesis. This same philosopher failed to point out the pregnant fact that the Law of Moses was built upon the great elemental principle of mercy; that it stood for liberty and order; that it had taken (as Munger says) a nation of slaves, ignorant, barbaric, beseted in mind and degenerate in body, and by a shrewdly adapted system of law and had deadly and persistently entertaining conditions and always toward freedom. He forgot to mention that from first to last, and from centre to circumference, it was a system of deliverance from bondage, disease, ignorance, anarchy, superstition and despotism. Jesus Christ, with This keen spiritual vision, goes what the other fails to see. When He rises in the little synagogue at Nazareth, He quotes the elemental truth of the Mosaic system, and says this is your charter of liberty, and I propose to make it the charter of the world's freedom; freedom from ignorance, superstition, sensuality, sorrow and pain. It is remarkable again that the passage quoted from Isaiah has a double meaning, in every paragraph. The noose may be those poor in pocket slaves so evil that the slaves of a worldly master or slaves of their own passions. The blind may be blind of body or blind of spirit. Which does Christ mean? Undoubtedly He means both, for the Saviour never emphasized suffering without calling attention to the fact that suffering came from sin. He cared for bodily wounds, but His great sympathies went out to the sin-soul soul. Now, blindness, like leprosy, was a type of sin. The blind were not only disbarred from the priesthood, but were not allowed to take part in the Temple service. Blindness, like leprosy, was supposed to be incurable, except by the direct act of God, because she could not take part in sin, because she could only be incurred by the direct act of God. Sin was spiritual blindness, because sinners had always been marked by dull spiritual apprehension. Abraham in his day had been able to see Christ, and to see the city having foundations. The spiritually enlightened under the Mosaic dispensation had been able to see Christ in the ancient ordinances, and the prophets had cried out against their countrymen, who were more stupid than the ox and the ass, because these creatures knew their masters and the owner's crib, but the children of God did not know their Father, and the owner's crib found their Father's bliss. St. Paul said, "If possible to make his people receive Jesus as the Messiah, declared them to be spiritually blind, and then made some remarks about spiritual blindness that apply very well to the men and women of our own day. Now, it is to this large class of spiritually blind people that Jesus appeals, in all His miraculous works upon the blind. He heals the blind in body to show that He can heal the blind in spirit. He heals the type, that man may believe that He can heal the really-blind viz. the blind in soul. Moreover, it is extremely interesting to note that in every separate instance where He uses "His supernatural power to heal the blind. He teaches us some important lesson concerning the relation that exists between God and His children, and how all men, if they will, may be healed of spiritual blindness. Notice" the first instance: Two blind men meet Him at Capernaum. They knew their need, and cried aloud for help, and the Saviour did not appear, to notice them, and when He did not notice, they followed Him persistently, followed Him into the house and help. It is a case like that of Jacob Paley. The artifact that of Jacob Paley does not bless, and therefore, he would not let him go. It was a certain faith, a faith that grew "stronger than the faith of God became more dreadful. It was in case of the kingdom of heaven being taken by the violence. These men give us a picture of those who have known what it is to see, and who can appreciate what it means. If anybody can give them the power to seepgain. They have known the meaning of goodness, and of spiritual vision, and they have known the unhappiness, of evil and spiritual darkness, and they want to be lifted out of darkness into light again. If there is anyone, able to accomplish that miracle. They feel themselves, helpless, and so this faith, as they hear of the power of Jesus grows, and when He apparently neglects them, it becomes a compelling faith, which gains whatever they wish. This miracle is nothing less than an eternal provision to the soul that is separated from God, and knows that it is so separated. It is the divine promise that such a man may have whatsoever he will. "As yet, he has asked nothing in My name; ask and we shall receive, that your joy may be full. The next instance is that of the man born blind. It is an entirely different case and yet a typical one. The man is shopless. He has never been able to see. He has restless heard of a place where a man born blind has been made to see; and so he does not consider the question. He settles back into a grim acceptance of his surgery. He does not ask to be healed, and because he does not ask, Christ offers just because of the man's hopelessness and ignorance. Christ-Jesus offers in mercy. Here is the charter for our missionary work among the ignorant and hopeless. Many of them do not know their need, all their hopeless, but that is no reason why the Christian church should withhold its merciful ministrations. It is of fortitudes the man who laughs at religion and disbelieves in its religion that needs it most, and a religion based upon the quality of mercy cannot, refuse to give even that which is not wanted, or asked for. The Saviour just clutch on this man's eyes-fade him go wash in the pool of Silnam. The man was more humble than Naisman. He made use of the man's sagging eyes and cried his sight. He is the type of the hopeless, man who does not believe that his spiritual blindness. (If it is blindness, because he has never be able to see and does not realize what spiritual blindness really means, can ever he relieved by the simple things which Jesus sacrificed, prayer, worship and sacrament, and yet in his willingness to try them makes his act of faith, and is ushered out into a new world of glory and beauty of which, heretofore, he has never been able even to dream. He becomes dartaker of blessings for which he provided freely by one whom he has not known. On the other hand, the blind man of Bethesda is not only hopeless, but faithless. He is brought to Christ by others, and because Jesus does not want to reject him, and cannot cure him; He takes him by the hand and leads him out of the town. He takes him away from his familiar surroundings and daily associations. He lifts him out of the rut from which he had been unable to extricate himself. He takes him into the solitude, just as He takes him now into the solitude and loneliness of sickness or trouble or poverty or unjust suplenion, or pain, and in fact he does not want to be healed. This is the only miracle of healing which Jesus performed where the recovery of health came by degrees, and this was caused by the man's slow development of the faculty of faith. Jesus touched his eyes, but sight did not comet his saw men as trees walking. It was an earnest, however, of what Jesus could do, and it gave the man confidence and his faith became more perfect, and Jesus touched his eyes again and he saw things distinctly. It is the story of the tenderness and gentleness with which Jesus deals with the spiritually blind, who are faithless as well as hopeless. And lastly, is the story of the Blind Bartimaeus which carries with it such a weight and wealth of suggestion for ourselves. It is the story of a man who wanted to come and be healed, and was hindered by others. How often that is true of those who really want to be healed of spiritual blindness. A man's foes are those of his own household. Jesus was wounded in the house of His friends. It is often only by persistent perseverance and by disregarding those who should help him that, a man is beiled by the Saviour of his spiritual blindness, as Bartimaeus was healed of his physical infirmity. I wonder how many Christians realize the tremendous responsibility they assume when in any way they stand in the light of the man who is looking for Jesus Christ. The man or woman belonging to a Christian church who deliberately sets aside the methods of that organization for deepening the spiritual life is hindering others from becoming Christians. What a wonderful opportunity for good we are throwing away when, on the ground of courtesy to others, we practically abandon our principles and cause our brother to offend. Blind Bartlmaus, was healed in spite of hindrances of others, and men become Christians in spite of our inconsistencies, but what an opportunity we are casting aside, and what responsibility we incur, when we deliberately make truth appear, unreal or undesirable. To preach recovering of sight to the blind; to preach the Gospel to the poor and deliverance to the captive, read the Saviour in the Nazareth synagogue, and as He read men were astonished. But why astonished? It was only a quotation. Yes, but He spied with power. That is, His words were concluding? The same words had been heard many times before. They were the words of truth, you say. Surely, but truth has been preached through the ages. What then was it that astonished men? We answer, the fact that Jesus saw, truth, in such a way that 'better men' coming in contact with Him could not fall it also, and 'see it' in its completeness. We see truth, says Mozeley, in a fragmentary way, and fragments of truth are not convincing. Jesus saw it in its completeness, and when a man sees truth in its completeness he must follow it. There is no other way for him to do and remain sane, and so it was just because Jesus could so present truth that men must see it and believe that His great mission was to greach recovery of sight to the blind.

She could not remember, there ever having been a Halloween before. That was because she was too young the year before to pay any attention to Halloween, though her brothers, Ned and Fred, had had, a merry time timed them. And 'Gertie knew-what one ought, to do on Halloween, or at leas, she said she knew, "One wants to dis-turb tings, don't they, mammut" she asked of her mother a few morphings Before the arrival of Halloween! Mamma laughed. "Why, what do you mean by that; darling?" "Oh' to do like Ned an' Fred do," replied' Gertie. "They put fings where. they oughtn't to help you know! That's Halloween fun; isn't in, mamma?" "I guess so," smiled mamma, kissing her dear little daughter's dimpled cheek. Then she left Gertie' to her play and, went about, her household duffles. And Gertie laid her plans for the forthcoming occasion. "I'll have Halloween all by myself," she declared, "I'm a little girl, so, of cours, I can't go out wif' Ned, an' Fred, mutting fings: where they, oughtn't to be." When, at last Halloween arrived, Gertie crept off to, bed, earlier, than was her wont, and, after her mamma had kissed her and tucked 'her in', and said good-night, she lay very still till she knew she was entirely alone. Then she sprang from bed and ran into Ned's and Fred's room and gathered up their books—all that she could carry—and lugged them off, to the storeroom, big, and dark. But Gertie was not afraid, not a bit of it, and the dark storeroom field no terror for her. After she hid behind the books under, some old rubish she returned and found Ned's school shoes (he was wearing an old pair for the festive evening), and Fred's mittens and ball. These were hidden in the closet of her, on room. Then to mamma's and pinn's room she went, getting papa's smoking jacket and his box of collars and cuffs. Next she gathered, up pinn's morning wrapper and slippers. These she carried to the guest's chamber, where they were safely placed under the big bed. "Now, I guess I've had some fun, said Gerlie to herself. And of her, to bed, she, went, as happy, as any real little Halloween cubbies could be." But-Gertie's real fun came the first morning; when Ned and Fred's up in a party about their books, a shout mitten* and* ball. "Gee, we're our things gone?", cried Fred, and unhappily bed looking everywhere, for his books, "And somebody's stolen my shoes," walled Ned, flying about. the room like a hen on a hot griddle. "Well, that's strange," said mithma. "I have also had a time hunting my wrapper and siliphee." And your papa can't find his smiling jacket anywhere. The old halloween switch must have been busy, in the house last night. Everything is toppy, turvy." "Maybe if you look in the store-room, and under the head-ill and guest's chamber, and maybe in the closet in my room, you may find some of the rings you've lost, said mithma. WHAT JAMES ARLAM CAT DID. Spunk was a tramp pat that haunted the garbage bays and basements of a neighborhood in New York City. She was not all alone and not a little handsome; she was tame and good-hatted and the neighborhood children had a lot of fun with her. One afternoon, little boy named Harriet, seven years old, nuckled up Spunk in the street, dirty as she was, and carried him arms, arms into his mother's kitchen to have a play with his sister, sixteen time healed her, then forty-four time healed her, Spunk did not forget, herself, though, had no intention to spend the night in the street, for it was cold weather at that time, so Spunk sneaked silly behind the kitchen range out for sight and went to sleep. Harry goes sleepy. his due time find went lightly. so did he do all the other suffer people. people in family knew their elderly time came, and not long, too soon, knew about the tramp ent behind the kitchen, range. It was a gas range, and one of the gas jets belonging to it had been left burning. the light shed had been turned so that when they early, morning game, and the gas pressure was refocused the light was quite extinguished, although the gas still continued to blow. Billing the kitchen with its poisonous fumes. By degrees the gas mounted the stairs up, up and through the rooftop of the house. All the family—father, mother and children—were fast, asleep, dreaming of anything but the deadly danger they were in. But Spunk, cat, fashion, was an early riser. She wandered through the kitchen, looking for something to eat. Then, she smelled gas. It seduced, as if she, knew all, about it, and mayzed she did. Who can tell? Spunk, bounded lightly up the stairs and through the rooms till she came to Harry's bed. She spring upon it with a d'air bounded and stroked Harry's face with her paws till he waked suddenly. . . . He jumped up, with a yell, for he had them suddenly waked from a sound, sleep. The yell, waked all the rest of the family. In an instant they smelled the gas, and the grown folk knew what it meant. Harry's father jumped to the windows and opened them, and that jet, up, the air and saved their lives. Then he bounded downstairs and shut off the gas jet. As to Spunk, she just sat still upon Harry's bed and looked mightily pleased. Detroit News-Tribune. ONLY, A. GENT. Uncle Harris is a carpenter, and had a shop in the country.

STEPS are being taken to impeach the sheriff at Mobile for not protecting the prisoner that was lynched there some time ago. If similar action be taken with other sheriffs lynchings will be fewer. RECENTLY there have been more lynching in Florida than any other State. The Floridians seem to be attaining all of the blood thirstiness of the other States, and care naught about the laws of God or man. THE Liberian Commissioners sailed from New York last Saturday, and the members went on one ship notwithstanding the newspaper comments, and the race point raised. THE TRIBUNE will welcome any movement for the securing of more schools for our children and will also contribute to any fund seeking the end. We must do ourselves for no one else will do for us. The Boston Herald is leading the movement for the Pilgrim Tercentennial Exposition to be held in Boston in 1920. This exposition is to commemorate the three hundred anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims and the founding of New England. It will be a World's Exposition. This should be the greatest event of the kind ever witnessed in the world, and every citizen of the United States should join in making it so. Odd Fellows Insulted Savannah, Ga., April 28th, 1909. Editor SAVANNAHTRIBUNE. Sir: I have just read a circular purporting to have been issued and mailed to a number of lodges, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in this State, by the District Executive Committee. For down right gall, stupidity and asininity I have never seen anything to equal this circular. It is hard to divine how any Executive Committee, even upon the approval of the "District Grand Attorney," whatever that may mean, could so far forget or disregard its duty and its dignity as to openly and officially hand out such an wonton insult to the Odd Fellows of Georgial If as they claim members of the Order have been guilty of outraging lodges in this State why have not the Grand Lodge officers, even though they have made the discovery() just on the eve of the meeting of the District Grand Lodge at which officers are to be elected, caused proceedings to be instituted against the guilty brothers as provided in our General Laws! By these laws all Odd Fellows even the Executive Board should and I believe will be governed, the advice and approval of the "District Grand Attorney" to the contrary not withstanding. We have witnessed many years of mud throwing and abuse and villification and falsehoods hurled at members of the order through a newspaper holding out itself as our organ, and yet many of us had concluded to endure it until such time as the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of this State could, through its chosen representatives see to it that there should be no more such abuse and misrepresentation; but never did we expect to see our District Executive Committee descend to such a level. As far as the writer knows, or has reason to believe, he is on friendly relation with every Odd Fellow in Georgia or elsewhere. He has no rival candidates, no axe to grind, but he respectfully resents, as he believes all members in like situation will resent, the insult offered us through the unfortunate circular referred to. And thou too, Ingram!!! Let us indulge the hope that our Executive Committee as such may promptly disavow this uncalled for insult to the manhood of the Order in this State. Else! Hearty Odd Fellow.

St. Benedict's Church Gatesy and East Broad street Gaston and East Broad streets. Last Sunday was a beautiful day in St. Benedict's Church, a day which will-long be remembered by those who attended the services. In the morning the children received the first Holy Communion; joy and happiness were beaming on the faces of these happy children, when they received for the first time their Saviour into their pure young hearts. After mass the happy communicants were served to a joyful breakfast by the good Franciscan Sisters. At 10:30 a.m the little church was packed with people inspite of the threatening weather; it was the moment of the chief service of the day, high mass and confirmation. The procession from the school rooms to the church was a grand and imposing sight. In front walked three altar boys, with white caskets, bearing the cross and lighted candles. Then followed the boys, dressed if black with silk ribbon around the right arm; pretty and sweet looked the girls, and wreathed on their heads; finally came the altar boys in beautiful red caskets and white surplices; the priests with golden vestments, and at the end of the procession walked the Right Rev. Bishop dressed in purple robes with the long trail carried by two little boys. It was certainly a grand sigh*. Very Rev. Ignatius Lissner, assisted by Rev. G. Obrecht and Rev. J A Dahlent sang Solen High Mass, during which Bishop Kiely preached a beautiful sermon on the gospel of the day. After mass the Bishop administered the Sacrament of Confirmation to 25 children and adults. In the evening the children met again in the little church; Father Dahlent made to them a touching address, after which the baptismal vows were solemnly renewed before a statue of the Sacred Heart amidst mylads of burning candles. For many that Sunday was certainly the happiest day of their life. The church was beautifully decorated; in the morning the children of St. Frances Home sang sweet English hymns and at the other services our church distinguished itself as usually.

The sermon preached on last Sunday morning at the eleven o'clock service by the pastor, Rev. W. L. Jones from first Timothy 5:24 subject. "Open sins in judgment," might be considered one of the deepest thought and a careful production. As the sermon dwell upon the sin of men, the thoughts produced from the text, were suggestive of their sins being open before hand and going before to the judgment, rather than follow after them. At night he also preached a very masterly sermon to the Brown's Aid and Social Club of South Carolina which was keenly felt by all his hearens, especially the unconverted ones, for when the call for sinners was made through the sweet songs of Zlon, "Whoseover will let him come to Jesus and live" a throng gathered around the mercy seat for prayer. Rev. T. W Grover of Bullock County very credibly assisted the pastor during the closing of the meetings this week and the closing each night a clear cut gospel sermon, instructive and soul stirring from beginning to end. Many of the converts will be baptized on tomorrow, Sunday morlogal, at 11 o'clock service. The pastor will preach at this service a genuine baptismal sermon. The baptism promises to be real impressive. Along with the pastor and officers are a good band of sisters headed by Sister Mary J. Townsend, who are so elated over the haryast of souls that they have purchased a new baptismal robe for the pastor, over which the promises to wear a girdle, which he purchased for five franks while in Nazareth.

The communion and night services were so crowded that the ushers were compelled to send quite a crowd to the gallery. The revival is still going on and many are being converted. Every afternoon the sisters conduct a mourners prayer-meeting in the lecture room. This has done much good and they are rewarded for each day's work with one or more converts. At night Rev. Wright read for the lesson II Cor. 5:1-17. The text was from Amos 4:12. The subject was "Prepare to meet God" or "A Solemn Warning." The sermon was just what is needed at this point in the revival. He did not leave any doubt in the minds of his hearers as to the necessity to make preparation for the "Judgement Day." All were benefitted. If you hear Rev. Wright preach one sermon I assure you that you will come again. The choir sang very sweetly the medley "Jesus lover of my soul." Rey. Wright led the hymn, "Amazing sight the Savior stands and knocks at every door." An immense crowd came to be remembered in prayer. The collection for the day was fine. Friends and strangers are welcome at any time. A collection of $7.05 was taken up for a poor sick brother.

The common name of this grass is smooth broome grass. It is a native of Europe and Asia. From the fact that it is said to have been introduced into this country from Austria-Hungary, it is often called Austrian or Hungarian broome grass. It is easily distinguished from all other common broome grasses, by its smooth usually beardless glumes or chaff. The seed should be grown in liberal quantities on well prepared ground. The forage made by this grass is coarse, but it is of excellent quality. The grass seems able to endure drought and also withstands considerable degrees of cold. Air-dried samples analyze about ten per cent. protein, which makes it exceedingly valuable for feeding. (The soil has opened advantages to dairymen in other countries where corn does not mature. In England, where the conditions are unfavorable for production of mature crops, corn, the farmers sow corn for fodder, store in the soil and then grow a crop for turnips on the land from which they took the fodder. The name system can be practiced in this country, but our farmers are too often content with one crop, and thus do not derive much from the land as is possible, too obtained. The land in England is high and farmers pay high rents, but they do not heal, take to apply manures and fertilizers liberally, because in that way only can they get large crops in return. Farmers Home Journal. Thorough Tillage For Apples. H. H. At Orford Farm, at Ghend, N. Y. lying at the foothills of the Berkshire, and in the valley of the Hudson, we are cultivating about 100 acres of apple orchards, and we have tried and tested two systems, both of which have their advocates—one of annual cultivation or tillage of the soil, and the other of goose and mulch method. While there are occasional farms where conditions are favorable for growing apples on the soil, mulch plan, they are exceptions, and as a method it is not to be, generally recommended or followed. After seventy years of tillage with three different plots of trees, under soil and mulch, in which we failed to treat either of satisfactory growth in all our apples, thing like, a good yield of fruits we have thrown out. the plan and follow only that of high culture. From the time the trees are set we keep the sod under regular annual tillage from the early spring to July 1st to fifth. This keeps the soil in the best possible condition for the most perfect development of both tree and fruit. The soil that is best suited to the growing of apples of the highest quality is a limestone, with a combination of clay and loam. In a soil of this character there is a large quantity of potential plant food, and thorough tillage will liberate this in the right proportion to meet the needs of trees and give them not only traction but also the most possible development.

The explorers were sitting, one on each side of the president, when Dr. Stein produced from this waistcoat pocket a small spring tape measure in a thy aluminum drum. "it is a very curious thing," said Dr. Stein, "but in 1906 when I was in eastern Tibet I picked up this measure at the foot of an old ruin. I have carried it ever since and use it constantly." Dr. Syen Hedin took the measure in his hand. "This is mine, he gave at once I fistled in Tibet in 1901, and he named the spot where he he lved" he had dropped it with the number of miles it was distant from a certain great lake. This proved to be the spot where it was found. PAP Mall, Gazette. One Way He Could Help An eastern college graduate applied for work in a Michigan lumber camp. He was told to get busy on one end of a cross-saw, the other end being an charge of an old and experienced lumberman.

New York, supplent and usurp WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? —Cartoon by Davenport, in the New York Evening Mail STANDARD OIL -CASH IS PUT IN FOOD AND -DRUGS New York City.-Standard Oil men, with Standard Oil dividends, are reaching out for the larger retail trade. They are applying to the field of investment the Standard Oil methods which have proven so potent in every line of competitive business to which they have previously been applied. The retail lines which have recently attracted the attention of the men who have been trained by the master hand of John D. Rockefeller embrace: Drugs. Drugs, Milk. Starch. Glucose products. Restaurants. For more than a year the work of absorbing or, at any rate, gaining a controlling interest in enterprises, which' in many instances seem to have no connection with the products that has has, but actively, and the complete roster probably would make interesting reading. Acquiring Many Businesses. Some of these concerns in which individual stockholders of the Standard Oil Company are heavily interested are the Hegeman Drug Company, Childs' chain of restaurants, the Corn Products Refining Company, the New York Glucose Company and the National Starch Company. But there are more to come. Reports, which hear every evidence of verity are current that a great candy establishment with many branches in New York and other cities has recently passed into the control of Standard Oil interests. Peanuts and milk probably will be next on the list, for the same reports, based on excellent, authority, are that these oil futures have already obtained control of what is known as the peanut trust, and will soon, if they have not already, acquire one of the most extensive milk producing businesses in the country. All these transactions are the outcome of what is known as the "investment department" of the Standard Oil Company. This is entirely for the benefit of the large stockholding and the market is conducted in an unobtrusive manner. Money Must Not Be Idle. So thoroughly does the Standard Oil Company now cover the ground and the earth that it has all the capital that it needs and is practically impossible to put more money back into the industry, which yields annually millions in profit. Standard Oil dividends, therefore, are constantly seeking reinvestment, for it is one of the axioms of John D. Rockefeller himself that money must not be idle. The head of the investment department or bureau was until recently a man who is now a banker and broker in Wall street. There has been a reorganization later, but the search for good opportunities is under the general direction of an accomplished financial scout who has a corps of trained assistants. There are numerous firms or companies which have an established reputation and feel that if they had additional capital they might greatly extend their business. While they are making inquiries they may re- receive a visit from an agent, who says that he has heard something of their endeavors and intimates that if the enterprise meets the approval of his principals it would be possible to come to an agreement. Millionaire E. J. Barney. 72. Makes Widow of 50 of the Saints Dayton, Ohio.—In the face of the bitter opposition of his daughters, E. J. Barney, who is seventy-three years old and the wealthiest man in Dayton, was married to Mrs. Elinor Chapman, widow of State Senator W. W. Chapman, who is in her thirtieth year. Mrs. Chapman was governess in the Barney family for several months after the death of the Senator, and it is believed that the wedding will cause a complete rupture between Barney and his two daughters. "Can you make a statement," is his usual question, "which will show that increased capital will develop the business and return a good profit?" These statements are analyzed by experts and a report is made showing the nature of the territory in which it is proposed to locate new branches of a business and the probabilities of the various regions developing. The agent takes an active interest in the industry or the business if the contract is made, and the capital is likely to come from a bank which is in touch with the Standard Oil group. From Restaurants to Oil. Operations such as these have been conducted for the last three years, and as a result the country has seen chains of drug stores and an ever increasing procession of popular priced restaurants. It was admitted at the office of the Hegeman Company that several of the Standard Oil men had as individuals invested in the corporation. Its president is John H. Flagler. According to Samuel Childs, vice-president of the Childs Restaurant Company, dividends from his enterprise find their way to No. 26 Broadway. A. Tydeman, of the Bureau of Purchases and Supplies of the Standard Oil, is among the investors in the Childs,emporla. E. T. Bedford, a large stockholder in the Standard Oil and until recently a director of that corporation, is the president of the Corn Products Refining Company, of the New York Glucose Company, which has the tall chimney at Shady Side, N. J. Four of the corn products companies have offices at No. 26 Broadway, and there also is the headquarters of the National Starch Company. Reports that the Standard group had in any way become interested in the manufacture of candy are denied by leading confectionery companies, and one of them has within the last week sent out a circular to the trade explicitly stating that there has been no change whatever in the management. C. T. White, assistant treasurer, who has an office on the fourteenth floor, was asked If there were any truth in the report that the Standard Oll Company was becoming extensively interested in outside ventures. That is not the fact," was his emphatic reply. Mr. White referred to the various glucose companies as being under the control of men also affiliated with Standard Oll and to the National Starch Company as a subsidiary corporation of the Corn Products Company. As to the "Investment Department" which the officials and stockholders of the Standard find so useful, he said that if there was such a thing it was news to him. Among the larger operations of financiers of the Standard Oil group as individuals may also be mentioned the Amalgamated Copper and the United Metals Selling Company, in which H. H. Rogers is interested, and the railroad and hotel interests of Henry M. Flagler in Flor- Paragraphed Picklings. The Pittsburgh Club has sold shortstop Charlie Starr to the Boston Club. Work is being done in the matter of unionizing the brewers in El Paso, Texas. Reports of the various' New York City railway lines for the last quarter showed assets of $354,000,000.

The association is considering the establishing of a children's tubercular camp for scientific treatment.

The unpretentious tin can is put to good use in several Arizona mining camps and no longer is left on the hillsides to be nibbled by the pensive goat. Particularly at Bisbee, Clifton and Jerome the cans and all other scrap iron available are gathered up and heaped into long troughs and into vats for the precipitation of water that is pumped from the copper mines carrying copper in solution with sulphur. The iron is gradually eaten away and replaced by copper, forming what is known as "slime," which runs from 30 to 50 per cent in the red metal. The expense of gathering is almost nothing. The water from the Jerome mines is particularly strong, and it is told that chovels and ploks cannot be left in some of the damp drifts for fear of losing the temper of the metal, which eventually will be entirely replaced by copper. Ore running 15 per cent copper has been found on the 6000 level of the Shattuck mine in Bisbee in a fine sulphide body, whose dimensions have not yet been determined.—os Angeles Times. WHAT COLORS SHALL I USE? This Question is Important in Painting a House or Other Building. A proper color scheme is extremely important in painting a house. It makes all the difference between a really attractive home and one at which you wouldn't take a second glance. And it makes a big difference in the price the property will bring on the market. As to the exterior a good deal depends upon the size and architecture of the house and upon its surroundings. For a good interior effect you must consider the size of the rooms, the light, etc. You can avoid disappointment by studying the books of color schemes for both exterior and interior painting, which can be had free by writing National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Building, New York, and asking for Houseowners' Painting Outfit No. 49. The outfit also includes specifications and a simple instrument for testing the purity of paint materials. Pure White Lead which will stand the test in this outfit will stand the weather test.

Five thousand dollars of state funds as waiting for soldiers who served in Georgia volunteer regiments during the Spanish-American war. The fund represents the amounts due the enlisted men from the time of their enrollment until they were mustered into the service of the United States. The amounts due range from forty-two cents to $4 for each individual. The fund includes pay only for enlisted men as the officers have all been paid. The money has not been distributed for the simple reason that no claims have been made and the enlisted men, who are due their disbursements, cannot be found. The five thousand dollars is held by State Adjutant General A. J. Scott, subject to the approval of all claims by Judge C. D. James of Cedartown, disbursing officer. Judge John R. Wilkinson of Atlanta ordinary of Fulton county, past master of Gate City Lodge No. 2, F, and A. M. thirty-third degree Scottsia Rite Mason, and honored in many branches of Masonry, was elected grand master of the grand council, Royal and Select Masters, Georgia Masons. The grand council met at Macon in its sixty-sixth session and was attended by leading Masons from all parts of the state. The full representation comprised thirty-two Georgia councils. The retiring grand master is I. C. Postell of Savannah. J. B. Roberts, also of Atlanta, was elected grand conductor of the work of the grand council. The other officers elected by the grand council were as follows: J. C. Harman, deputy grand master, Tennille; W. A. Wollin, grand treasurer and grand recorder; J. M. Rushin, grand chapel, Boston; R. D. Ethridge, grand captain of the guards, Conyers; A. E. Sansburn, grand marshal, Newman; W. B. Kent, grand conductor of the council, Mount Vernon; Joe P. Bowdoin, grand steward, Adairsville; R. B. Tall, grand sentinel, Jacon. The state convention of nurses adjourned in Augusta after electing officers and selecting Atlanta as the next place of meeting. The officers elected were: President, Mrs. Agnes C. Hartridge, of Augusta; first vice president, Miss Emily R. Dendy, of Augusta; second vice president, Miss Finlay, of Atlanta; recording secretary, Miss Mary Moran, of Augusta; corresponding secretary, Miss Angela Sullivan, of Augusta; treasurer, Miss Margaret Stevenson, of Augusta. According to an opinion furnished Secretary of State Philip Cook by Attorney General John C. Hart, there are many other corporations with the authority of the Georgia law which requires all corporations doing business in this state, both foreign and domestic, to register with the secretary of state and to pay therefor a registration fee—one dollar the first time and fifty cents a year thereafter. The Western of Georgia Railway Company was granted a charter by Secretary of State Philip Cook, the company having been formed with a capital stock of $500,000 to construct a railroad 60 miles long from a point on the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic in Fayette county, to the Alabama state line, in Heard county. It is proposed that the new road shall connect with the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic at Aberdeen, in Fayette county, run to Newnan in Heard county, to Franklin in Heard county, thence to the Alabama line, Heard county is at present without a single mile of railroad. The principal office of the new company will be at Newnan. For the twenty-first time in the history of Carroll county and in the experience of J. T. Norman, justice of peace, a marriage ceremony was performed by long-distance telephone, the contracting parties being Joe Credit and Miss Essie Fowler. The justice was seated at the telephone at Carrollton, with authority in hand and the young couple, standing at the phone of J. W. Barrow at Bowdon, twelve miles distant, were pronounced man and wife. The Grand Lodge of Georgia Masons, through a special committee pointed for that purpose, will receive the sum of $55,000 in exchange for the Masonic temple, located in Macon. This temple has been used by the Masons of Georgia for many years, but has been cutgrown and is no longer adequate. For this reason it was offered for sale. A committee, with John K. Dickey of Atlanta, chairman, was empowered to sell it for the above named price. The purchaser is John S. Schofield, a well-known Macon man. Although the railroad commission has for one of its main objects the prompting of competition, a singular petition has been received by that body asking the assistance of the commission in cutting out destructive competition between two electric light companies of Savannah. From the complaint of J. C. Tyson, president of the Savannah Electric Repair company, it appears that so keen is competition between the two electric lighting companies in that city that each company is wiring houses and stores free of charge in order to get lighting contracts, and that as a result the men who make a living wiring for electric lights are in a bad deal. The commission has answered Mr. Tyson, pointing out that the business of the commission is to encourage competition, but he says that unless instances of discrimination between customers of the lighting companies were shown the commission could not act. Chairman S. G. McLendon of the railroad commission, asserts that he has not fallen out with Governor Hoke Smith; it's all talk he says. Governor Smith has declined the request of State Treasurer Park for warrants to cover the expenses of the state bank bureau for postage stamps amounting between $300 and $1,000. The chief executive of his letter that he cannot pay the account out of the contingent fund. Governor Smith says that the law establishing the bank bureau names the state treasurer as state bank examiner, and provides that his salary as state bank examiner shall be $2,500 a year, and that the salary and expenses are to be prorated and collected from the banks according to the capital of each. Atlanta, Ga.—If a plan for muzzling dogs for the period of one year, suggested by Dr. Edgar Paullin, in charge of the Pawnee department in the state board of health, in a paper read before the Georgia Medical Association at Macon, is carried out by legislative enactment during the coming session of the general assembly, it is believed that rabbits and hydrophobia can be practically stamped out in the state of Georgia in a short time. Dr. Paullin's address was received with great enthusiasm by the members of the association, and a resolution of Dr. Eugene Smith of Atlanta to authorize the committee of the association on public policy and legislation to support and strongly urge the passage of a law at the next session of the legislature for the muzzling of all dogs was passed by unanimous vote. The alarming increase of rabies in the state during the past year makes necessary some such legislative enactment as that suggested by Dr. Paulin, more than 500 cases of rabies communicated to persons by the bites of rabid dogs were treated by him in the Pastour department of the state board of health during 1908. This number does not include those (for it is sad to relate, that there are such), who ignorantly rely on the supposed power of mad-stones and die in the vain search for relief from such methods. As thoroughly did the paper read by Dr. Paulin voice the sentiment of the association that a note of thanks was passed by the organization, with the request that the address be published in such form that it may be disseminated broadcast to every nook and corner of the state. That rabies is rapidly on the increase throughout the state of Georgia and throughout the entire nation cannot be doubted. This appears to be conclusively-proved by a recent report of the United States Public Health and Marine Hospital Service on the subject of hydrophobia. During the past year, Dr. Paulin has examined the heads of between 500 and 600 dogs, fully 60 per cent of which showed unmistakable signs of rabies. The muzzling of all the dogs in the state for one year, it is claimed, will practically wipe out rabies in the state. In this particular it is suggested that each city sell a muzzle to the owner of every dog instead of charging a dog tax and in this way as much revenue can be raised as by the tax system and much more good can be accomplished. During one year all the cases of rabies in the state would be developed and exterminated by this method, it is claimed, if a rigorously enforced law is back of the movement and every dog is muzzled. As Georgia has South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama and Florida as neighboring and adjacent states, rebels would undoubtedly be introduced into the state by border passage. This be prevented by legislation for muzzling in every state or by quarantine. Georgia Railroad Seeks to Increase Passenger Rates. Atlanta, Ga.—General Manager T. K. Scott, General Passenger Agent A. G. Jackson and Major Joseph B. Cumming, attorney for the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company, appeared before the railroad commission, and presented argument in behalf of the company's petition asking permission to increase its rate of passenger fare from 2' 1-4 to 2' 1-2 cents per mile. Among other things, the officials showed that last year the lessees failed by $290,000 to earn sufficient revenue, pay the annual rental of $600,000, pay the commission heard the arguments made, postponed further hearing of the case will Thursday, May 12. In the meantime the secretary of the commission was instructed to send out notices to all the cities and towns on the line of the Georgia Railroad in order that any who may desire to do so may be heard in opposition to the railroad company's request. Governor Smith Not a Candidate for Any-Office. Atlanta, Ga., Governor-Smith will resume the practice of law after he retires from office as chief executive of the state. That much is now known positively, from statements which the governor is said to have made to intimate friends. I am not a candidate for any office, and do not contemplate entering any contest," the governor is reported to have said to a friend a few days ago, while telling of his plans for the future. But it is known that the governor will continue to take a lively interest in the affairs of the state and will let himself be heard from time to time on such matters as he considers related to the welfare of Georgia. Extermination of Cattle Tick Planned by State Department. Atlanta, Ga.—Following the conference of the cattle raisers, dairymen, planters and cotton seed crushers, held at Athens, where strong resolutions were adopted, calling upon the citizens of the state to co-operate more strongly with the State College of Agriculture and the State Department of Agriculture to induce more cattle raising in Georgia, it will be of great interest to learn that the federal government will lend its hand in this undertaking, too. Hereforeforefore, of the great plans to industry has been the rayages made in certain sections of the state on cattle by the pestiferous cattle tick. It is in wage war on this insect that Dr. A. M. Soule, the president of the Stat. College, has been urging, and is joining hands with Commissioner T. C. Hudson and Assistant Commissioner R. F. Wright. It is stated that this insect has caused the state to lose a million a year in its cattle The State Department of Agriculture has recently appointed four inspectors to work in the more affected counties in North Georgia, and the federal government has appointed the same number. GOOD ROADS American Good Roads. America is only at the beginning of good roads building. There are 2,500,000 miles of public roads in the country, of which 30,000 are of stone or macadam and 108,000 of gravel. In many places there are passing good roads constructed of the soil at hand, which is naturally adapted to road making. England expends $30,000,000 a year on roads, or at the rate of $600 a mile, for all the roads in the country. The United States expends $80,000,000 annually, or at the rate of $38 a mile. England, France and some other European countries have the enormous advantage over this country that there have been good roads for a thousand or more years, and, in many instances, the admirable highways have been as firm as a rock from the day the Romans built them. In this country the distances are so enormous, the territory so vast, the country so new that everything is done "from the very beginning," and in spite of the most tremendous efforts, decades must pass before the United States may have a complete system of good roads. But the roads will be built and the work will go on from this time forth with characteristic American rapidity. The argument for good roads is overwhelming. The cost of hauling per ton mile on American roads is from twenty-three to twenty-five cents; in France, Germany and England the cost is in the neighborhood of ten cents per ton mile. In States enjoying the advantages of improved roads the average attendance of school children in the country districts is seventy-seven per cent., and in the States with poor roads the average is only fifty-three per cent.—Philadelphia Ledger. The Toll of Bad Roads. Governor F. Stubbs, of Kansas, in his message to the Sunflower Legislature called attention to the alleged fact that, according to the Department of Agriculture's figures, the cost of hauling American products to market is many million dollars in excess of the cost of hauling the same products over the fine highways of Europe. This is the annual tax of bad roads. According to the department's reports, the average cost of hauling over American roads has been found to be twenty-five cents a ton a mile. The cost on the fine highways of Europe is only twelve cents a ton a mile. The average length of haul of farm products in the United States is 9.4 miles. Were American roads as good as the French, the farmers' gain would be 9.4 times twelve cents, or $1.23 on each ton of stuff hauled. The Interstate Commerce Commission has estimated that 250,000,000 tons are hauled annually. By the European standard of roads, the extra expense entailed in hauling this amount reaches $295,000,000 a year. Of course, this burden is distributed throughout the whole population. It costs the farmer 1.8 cents a bushel more to haul his wheat from the farm nine miles to the railroad station than it costs to carry the same bushel 3100 miles from New York to Liverpool. So part of this excessive cost goes into the loaf of bread. The price of other necessities of lbf is increased in the same way. The increased cost of living owing to the bad roads is merely one of the facts relating to the public interest that has been pointed out by the great co-operative institution working for the common welfare, the United States Department of Agriculture. Isn't there merit—a great deal of it—in the urgent plea for a systematic plan of permanent road building, and a plan of huge proportions, at that?—Gedar, Rapids (Iowa) Gazette One Dollar Per Acre. It has been estimated that the cost of good roads for Kansas, under the provisions of the Hodges bill, would average about $1 per acre for good farm land. Now, a single piece of good road, remotely detached from other good roads, might not be worth even this small investment. But a system of good roads, giving farm after farm transportation facilities at all seasons of the year, when the prices of products are highest as well as when they are lowest, would be worth many times the average outlay. A farm having good road facilities, connected with the nearest market by highways that would be serviceable at all times, would be enhanced in value far beyond the cost of road construction. This would be merely a land value increase—an immediate and direct return for the investment. But the far greater value would be in the continuous intercourse afforded, the cheapness with which products could be marketed and the ability to utilize the markets when they are most advantageous.—Kansas City Star. Light From Flash of Powder. Judge D. W. Bond, of the Middlesex Superior Criminal Court, in charging a jury recently, in speaking of the question as to whether the witness had sufficient light to identify the defendant by, referred to an odd case in England at a time when old fashioned black gunpowder that made considerable light when discharged was used. 3 A woman who happened to be passing saw the shot in question, fired and identified the man who fired it by the light of the flash. The prisoner afterward verified her testimony by his confession. As to Moral.Suasion Fra Shawlington, in his preachment III, contributed to last week's issue of "The Tribune, established the fact that he is a student of conditions. From the gist of his argument, I would judge that he has been a boy and that his sympathies bend back in indulgence to the "days of June" of boyhood, forcing him to condemn and condone, in one breath, the escapades of that exuberant period. His "preachment" was wholesome literary food, and is well worth serious perusal. But I hold that "moral suasion," or the fundamental success thereof, is sequential to and almost entirely dependent upon corporal punishment. The latter being the means, in cases of open rebellion upon the part of the young, of inaugurating the condition of mind that will make possible the effectiveness of the former. The fear, even, of punishment will often make possible the effectiveness of moral suasion. But punishment precedes and creates the fear. Now, there are those who fear the wrong more deeply than they do the punishment, and do right or practically so, of their own volition. These are the exceptions rather than the rule and the exceptions prove the rule. That "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" no one will dispute. It is that fear that brings or aids in the bringing forth of service. So is it in the home and in the school. Not, however, the kind of fear that the child would feel should he meet a wild beast. But rather a kind of reverential fear, of both wrong-doing and the consequences thereof. Now, if the disposition to reverence those under whose tutelage you are placed is repugnant to you, and the spirit of rebellion is displayed in your every act, then "moral suasion" should be rationally supplemented by corporal punishment. "Moral suasion," handed out to the average boy of today, is as futile of good results as a dose of vermifuge would be as a remedy for a rattlesnake bite. "Drastic diseases require drastic remedies," otherwise the patient is the victim. The world is full of patients suffering from drastic remedies" otherwise the patient is the victim. The world is full of patients suffering from drastic diseases and vermifuge—moral suasion—is being daily dosed to them. The consequences are revolting. The children are masters of the situation, the teachers and the parents are the victims of the virulent caprices of rebellious children. Their freedom from the "rod reign" is dwarfing them both physically, morally and mentally, and each succeeding crop of youth offers less hope of the ultimate development of that manhood and womanhood that count in the municipal state and national life. Mr. Fra Shawington's reference to parents and home training was both wise and timely, and I hasten to endorse both as material to the profitable existence of the Negro among the peoples possessing the highest civilization ever known to man. "Home is the chief school of human virtues." This definition taken from the emancipation day address of the Rev. W. Decker Johnson of Thomasville, is, indeed, a significant one if not a complete one. For where can virtue be taught more effectively than in the home, where heart and hope are with the subject taught. A fit tople for discussion upon any occasion, is home, for what ever of fame, fortune or failure that comes to man, it is directly or indirectly traceable to the home whence he received or was due to receive instructions. But this statement may demand an explanation or an elaboration upon what constitutes a home, and a differentiation between a real home and a shelter or hovel. It is needless, however, to state that a home need not necessarily be a gilded mansion; for a veritable hovel may be a home, but a hovel cannot be a mansion. A home is a shelter under which love and peace, with all their contingent blessings abide—the birthplace of reciprocity—the progeny of responsive and mutual felicity, interchanged and interchangeable, without force or entreaty. It is not a place, even if it be a castle, where blickering, infelicity and discontent abide. This is not the signification of the word home nor can an abode subject to the visitation of such happenings be properly so termed, because under such conditions it could not be the "chief school of human virtues," nor could it be an abode where mutual felicity and reciprocity abound. There is 'a congenitality unspeakable and inexplicable pervading a real home that kindred relation nor an infrangible friendship, without, can shake. it is as impervious to exterior influences as adamant and is as firmly fixed as Gibraltar. It is to external influences an irresistible force and an immovable body, against which it is an useless to charge as would be an attempt to resist the tide or to abate the storm's fury. But unfortunately for humanity, the but and the mansion designated as home is not always so fortified. Human frailty and gullibility rob our abodes of the blissfulness of home and transform them into a hotbed of secret strife that undermines the fount of conjugal felicity and causes it to run dry of all the benefience that nurtures the plants of domestic place pleasure. The ponderous power of the dastardly plotter, his seductive advocacy of a broader sociality, his treacherous, but well-knitted argument as to the signification of real life, too often warp the mind and MONEY DEPOSITED WITH The Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company 16 DOUBLY SECURED BY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INVESTED IN SAVANNAH REAL ESTATE. 5 PER CENT PAID ON DEPOSITS.

Every true home is a miniature municipality with rules and regulations adapted to its special use. The relationship of the governor and the governed is so intricately interwoven that there arises no thought of discrimination and as a consequence all live within the purview of the law and develop into peaceful inmates. And herein is the intent and significance of the law best seen in operation. The "rule of civil conduct commanding what is right and prohibiting what is wrong" finds a perfect compliance therein in a perfect home. There is no need of an evasion based upon precedent or technicality and no appeals for want of jurisdiction. For the laws are just and the decision of him who executes them is uninfluenced by exterior force, and is final because of the "consent of the governed." These conditions obtain in real homes and the efficacy thereof if felt in all the locality round about. And herein arises the necessity of a real home and the righteous but rigorous management thereof. Out of the multitude of domestic, municipalities, the municipality, the city, the state, the country's citizen body is formed, and to that degree that obedience to home law is taught a resignation of the laws of the state will be obeyed. Hence the home is not alone the "school of human virtues," but is the foundry in which substantial citizenship is molded. Such citizenship as will breed obedience to the law, lessen crime and nurture healthful development both morally and materially. ROY REGINALD. Among the Masons. Today is the first of May, at which time each lodge is ordered to have in the Grand Secretary's office its annual report and fee. It is hoped that each lodge has been mindful of this fact and has forwarded the report. A loyal obedience to the edicts of the Grand Lodge should be the desire of each brother and this is shown in a manner by the actions of the officers in rendering reports. As Masons we do not fine our members for failing to do a duty. Our order is above methods. While this is a fact our members should act strictly according to the regulations of the order. Be a progressive Mason by learning each week more about the order. A brother can never be too wise to learn a little more each day, which will enable him to be the better for so doing. Are the W. M. of your lodge? Do you want the brethren to sing your praises? Then make your meetings short and interesting. Do not prolong it. As soon as the business is completed have a short lecture and call off. Do not keep the brethren in session more than an hour and a half. And that's too long unless there is work to be done. As Masons, let us felicitate ourselves on the harmony that exists within our jurisdiction. We console with our sister organization, the K. of P. and the Odd Fellows on account of the activity of officeseekers and the publicity that many of the members have given the orders in the newspapers. Past Master J. W. Williams of Ashburn informs us of the sudden death of Past Master and Past Grand High Priest Glenn O. Smith. Brother Smith is well known in the state and the brethren all join in extending condolence to the bereaved widow. Brother Smith was buried with Masonic honors. Most Worshipful Grand Master J. H. Dickerson of the Jurisdiction of Florida, graced our sanctum with a visit last week. Brother Dickerson was tendered a big banquet at his home on Monday night. The Almighty Jehovah, who doeth all things well, knows best when to afflict and how to afflict. The most beautiful things are born of suffering; the rainbow is produced by the throes of overhanging clouds; the most lovely characters are developed amid the severest trials, and come forth from the heaviest afflictions. What is it that develops the best Mason? It is not the pleasant things, it is not the calm experience of life, but it is life's rugged experience—its tempests, its trials.—Missouri Freemason. Whoever joins the Masonic fraternity must neither expect nor aim at external benefits; his sole endeavor should be only for the moral improvement of his character in order to gain the most valuable gift of life—truth, charity and beauty, forming the standard of self-protection. Truth, charity and beauty in themselves are but an ideal. In reality they are subject to changes, and do change with the general state of civilization. The best an individual can do is to please his fellowmen, and in order to reach this aim he must control himself, ever mindful of his moral conduct.—Grand Master Berhhardi, Berlin. The symbolism of Masonry, which is its peculiar mode of instruction, inculcates all the duties which we owe to God as being His children, and to men as being our brethren.—Mackey. Take the Masonic brethren as a whole, we defy "the world, the flesh and the devil" to produce a nobler body of men; better citizens; better husbands, fathers, brothers or friends. —Missouri Freemason. SPORTING BREVITIES. President Taft has become an honorary member of the Eastern Yacht Club, of Boston. Stanford has in W. M. Wyman, a sophomore, a quarter miler who is good for fifty seconds. Robert H. Bryson, of Indianapolis, was elected president of the American Bowling Congress in session at Pittsburg. "Jack" Johnson and Stanley Ketchel signed articles to fight twenty rounds at the Colma A. C., in San Francisco. Only fourteen men reported for the first day of track work outdoors at Syracuse, and Tommy Keane said it was disgusting. "We hope that Coach Copland will have as good success training the track team as he had with St. Ives," says the Daily Princetonplan. Commodore Arthur Curtiss James, N. Y. C., has ordered a bark rigged auxiliary yacht of 201 feet over all. She will be built at Quincy, Mass. Yost says he won't have any spring football practice this year, because he doesn't think it does any good. The other coaches seem to favor it, however. Gunners of the New York A. C. defeated the representatives of the Crescent A. C. in a twenty-five man team shoot at the Travers Island traps. The gross receipts at the Gotch-Mahmout wrestling match at Chicago were $38,823, of which Gotch received thirty-four cent., or $14,088.00; Mahmout $7075.75, or twenty-five per cent. The record plk of Great Britain was caught with rod and line on the Hampshire Stour recently. The fish was forty-five inches long, twenty-four inches in girth and weighed forty pounds when taken out of the water. Willie Made a Discovery. Wille, aged six, came to me, his face so wreathed in smiles that his pug nose seemed to be turned back among his freckles. "What do you think?" he said, "papa was drandma's little boy." My incredulity added fuel to his already intense amusement. Between his chuckles he assured me, "Yes he was."—Dellneator. Something New in Bugs. Little Joe's knowledge of natural history had been acquired mostly indoors, and when in one of his earliest excursions to the outdoors he discovered a small box-tortoise he exultingly made a capture. "Mamma! mamma!" he cried, "look here; I found a wooden bug!"—Delineator. The man at the desk may not be smart, but he has more up and go than the fellow who stares at the wine shops and wonders if it's time to go in. The smart fellows standing on the corners waiting for some one should get a hump and—and him wherever he hangs out. ee ee mee, Oe Se Scat eee ee =
