BISHGP GALLOWAY DEAD Writings Best Known of Any Person in the Methodist Church South. Sketch of His Life. Jackson, Miss.—Bishop Charles G. Galloway of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, Mississippi's most distinguished divine and best known publicist, who for the past twenty years, has held rank among the greatest pulitator orators of America, died at his residence in this city, after an illness of several days with a mild form of pneumonia complicated with heart trouble. On several occasions during the past three years, Bishop Galoway suffered severe attacks, due to enfeebled heart action, and hardening of the arteries. Although only in his sixtieth year, the prodigious volume of work he performed as the "Mission Bishop of Methodism" had greatly weakened his once powerful ph BISHOP CHAS. G. GALLOWAY. sique and he was in no condition to withstand the lung congestion that caused his death. Charles Betts Galloway was born at Kosciusko, Miss., Sept. 1, 1849, and was in his sixtieth year. He graduated in 1868 from the University of Mississippi, from which institution he received the degree of doctor of divinity in 1832. The degree of doctor of laws was later conferred upon him by the Northwestern University, and by the Tulane University. He entered the ministry in 1868 as a member of the Mississippi Conference, Methodist Episcopal Church, South, serving numerous churches in the New Orleans Christian Adivate from 1882 until 1886, when he was ordained as bishop, serving the church continuously in that capacity until the day of his death. Bishop Galloway's writings covered a wider range, perhaps, than those of any other person connected with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. and he traveled extensively. For a number of years past he took an active interest in the campaigns waged in Mississippi and other southern states for prohibition. A "Handbook of Prohibition" and "Open Letters on Prohibition," which latter embraced a controversy with Jefferson Davis, were among his writings along this line. He was president of the board of education of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, president of the board of trustees of Millsaps College and Vanderbilt University, and was a member of the board of trustees of the John F. Slater fund. The year following his graduation, September 1, 1869, he married Miss H. E. Wills of Vicksburg, Miss. BAPTISTS BAR CARNEGIE, CASH. Claim Ironmaster Wants Too Much for His Money. Louisville, Ky.-Almost unanimous sentiment to reject the offer of the Carnegie foundation fund, providing money to sectarian schools that will drop their sectarianism, the spirit at a banquet of the Southern Baptist Education Society, in connection with the Southern Baptist Convention which is in session here. The most prominent educators of the sooth were present at the banquet. In an address before the Baptist Young People's Union the Rev. O. C. S. Wallace of Baltimore attacked what he termed "fastidious Baptists," whose sensibilities do not permit them to approve the immersion practices. SHE FEARED SLAVERY. Miss Heinmann Scared by Stories of White Slave Traffic. New York City. — Stories of the "white slave" traffic in New York had such a deep impression on Miss Wanda Vera Heinmann that when the steamship Duca Degli Abruzzi, from Naples, arrived here, she refused to come ashore until she was assured she was-perfectly safe. Miss Heinmann, 22 years old and remarkably pretty, has lived most of her life in Italy. She has come to America to visit relatives in Louisville. She said she was told to look out for herself, as young women were seized in the streets of New York and sold as slaves. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. WOULD ADVANCE CLOCK. National Movement to Adopt English System to Give More Daylight System to Give More Daylight. Cincinnati, Ohio—Prominent Cincinnatians are interesting themselves in a national movement to change business hours during the summer months after the fashion which is in vogue in Ireland, which makes the begin two hours earlier during the summer than it does during the other months of the year. Circulars explaining the system in detail and the benefits claimed for it are being distributed. The plan as suggested in the circular provides that each year, on May 1, the standard time of the United States be advanced two hours and continue thus until October. In this way it is intended that persons who start to work at 7 o'clock in the morning, during the other months shall begin their day at 5 o'clock in the summer months and end it two hours earlier, the plan giving them two hours of daylight for their recreation, which they are not able to enjoy now. This plan would leave the same number of hours for sleep and for business. The circular says In part: The circular says in part, "This is one of the few changes that could be made to benefit all citizens of each and every state in exactly the same proportion, and not call for the expenditure of money. "To be beneficial and not confusing, it is necessary that the custom be come general throughout the United States. TO EXTERMINATE PESTS. Great Campaign Planned Against the House Files Chicago, ill.—It is time to begin the fight on files. Health Commissioner Evans has sounded the warning in his weekly bulletin on Chicago's health. In the war on files, the report prescribes the best death for the insects. It gives the formula for a poison that will kill the files and not endanger human life. A dram of bichromate of potash, dissolved in two ounces of water and sweetened, is the cheap and effective method of encouraging the files to kill themselves. There are other sanitary regulations, though, that the health report says ought to be exercised. Here are some of the ways suggested: Screen your windows and doors before fly time. Screen all food, especially milk. Keep files away from the sick, especially those ill with contagious diseases. Eliminate the breeding places of files; this is important. The following should be done: Sprinkle chloride of lime or kerosene over contents of garbage boxes and other refuse. Keep garbage receptacles tightly covered. Clean the cans daily. Clean the boxes every week. Sprinkle them with kerosene or chloride of florine. Pour kerosene into the drains; keep sewerage system in good order. Clean cuspidors every day; keep a 5 per cent solution of carbolic acid in Don't allow dirt to accumulate in corners, behind doors, back of radiators or under stoves. WIRZ MONUMENT UNVEILED. Georgia Daughters of Confederacy Had Charge of Ceremony. Andersonville, Ga.—Under the stars and stripes and the Confederate stars and bars there was dedicated here the monument to Captain Henry Wirz, commander of Andersonville prison, and executed at Washington at the end of the war on order of a military commission which tried him for murder and flagrant cruelty—martyred, not executed, said the Georgia Daughters of the Confederacy, "who unvelled the monument, in the hope that it will, stand to see Wirz" memory some time considered everywhere in a friendly light. Famine in Russia. Odessa, Russia.—There is a serious famine in Kleff province and peasants are starving in scores. It is impossible to get food, and the suffering is intense. In one village three-fourths of the residents are dying of starvation. Crazy Snake Willing to Surrender. Papulpa, Okla.—Alexander Harjo, nephew of Chittil Harjo (Crazy Snake) after his arrest for horse stealing, told Sheriff King that his uncle, ring leader of the Indian troubles, was hiding east of Henriletta, suffering from wounds and willing to surrender. $5,000 For Florida School. Binghampton, N. Y.—By the terms of his will, offered for probate in surrogate's court here, S. Mills Ely, who died last week, bequeaths $5,000 to the Hungerford Normal school of Cottonville, Fla. Man Loses His Identity. McNell, Ark. — Claiming complete lapse of memory, a stranger arrived here with the only means of identification being the letters "H. A. W." on his linen. He says he remembers he was in Texas and that he was a professor at a university, but his recollection further than this is blank. Prohibition Bill Lost in Missouri. Jefferson City, Mo.—The Missouri state senate refused to recede from the tax rider amendment to the prohibition joint resolution and asked the house for a conference committee. This action is taken generally as spelling the end of legislative action on the subject. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1909. TWENTY MEN. DROWNED LAUNCH WAS OVERCROWDED When Boat Reached Middle of Stream It Suddenly Went Down Beneath the Weight It Was Carrying, Pittsburg, Pa.—Twenty persons are missing and all of them are believed to have been drowned when a gasoline launch sank in the middle of the Ohio river near Schoenville, four miles below Pittsburg. Of the thirty occupants on the boat, only ten are known to have escaped. All the men were employees of the Pressed Steel Car Company, at the McKees Rock plant. The men had been working overtime, and left the works to cross the river in the launch about fifteen minutes later. The boat is said to have been intended for not only gasoline and it, said it was dangerous to attempt to carry as many as twenty-five in it. But all the men wanted to get across the river on the first trip of the boat and thirty of them crowded in. As the men started out in the boat one of them is said to have remarked that it seemed to him to be overcrowded and he feared it was, not safe to attempt the trip in it. Albert Graham, the pilot, and one of those who is missing, is said to have replied that it was safe enough all right, as he had had twenty-seven persons in it. No more was said about the load, but when the boat reached the middle of the stream, where the water is permeous 20 feet deep, it suddenly sank? There was no explosion, no leaks was sprung, but the boat simply sank beneath the weight it had been bearing and went to the bottom. As it sank it caused a suction which took many down. 88,000,000 PEOPLE IN U. S. Original States Have Third of the Population. Washington, D. C.-Of the 88,000 people in the United States, Alaska included, about one-third live in the original thirteen states, according to a statistical abstract of the United States to be issued in a few days by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor. Another third live in the states created from the territory ceded to the common union by the original states, and the remaining third in the area added by purchase or annexation. In 1908 there were 754,838,000 acres of unappropriated and unreserved land, of which one-thalf was in Alaska and one-third in New Mexico and 42,759,000 in Arizona. Of swamps and overflow lands there are about 75,000,000 acres in the country, of which 18,500,000 acres are in Florida, Louisiana coming next with about half that amount. TO DOUBLE LIQUOR DEALERS TAX Also to Eliminate Tax Entirely Where Sale of Liquor is Prohibited. Washington, D. C.—A bill doubling the tax imposed upon brewers and wholesale and retail liquor dealers was introduced by Representative Kendall of Iowa. It also provides that no tax shall be imposed or collected in these localities where the manufacture or retailing of alcohol is prohibited by state laws. An effort to have the national liquor dealers tax increased was made at the time the ways and means committee was preparing the tariff bill. CAPTAIN HAINS GUILTY. Jury Returned a Verdict of Manslaughter—No "Unwritten Law." Flushing, N. Y.—Captain Peter C. Hains, Jr., United States Army, faces a prison term-of from one to twenty years. Despite all the testimony submitted by the defense as tending to show insanity, he was convicted of malpractice in the first case for killing William E. Annis at the Bayside Yacht Club last August. The jury refused to bring in a verdict under the "unwritten law." NIGHT RIDERS FOUND GUILTY. Given Ten Days in Jail and Five Hundred Dollar Fine. Waverly, Tenn.—A verdict of guilty was returned in the case of the fourteen men charged with being members of the night riders' organization and whipping Esquire J. M. Reece on October 15, last. In XP assault was awarded two days in jail and fine of $500 for each. They were remanded to jail under a strong military guard. A motion for a new trial will be made. EX-SULTAN'S WEALTH CONFISCATED. New Regime to Seize Abdul Hamid's Millions. p Constantinople, Turkey—$7,500,000 has been found in the treasury boxes of the imperial palace at Yildiz, occupied before his deposition by Abdul Hamid. Two and a half million dollars of this is in cash, while $5,000,000 is in marketable securities, equivalent to cash. Furthermore, papers were found indicating that Abdul Hamid had on deposit in Germany, England, France and the United States upwards of $15,000,000. It is understood that the cabinet considers that all these foreign deposits, as well as the treasure at Yildiz, are the property of the state. KIDNAPERS FOUND GUILTY. Mr. and Mrs. Boyle Convicted of Abducting Willie Whitle. Mercer, Pa.-James Boyle, convicted, with his wife, of the kidnapping of little Willie Whitle, of Sharon, Pa. was sentenced to life imprisonment. Mrs. Helen Boyle was sentenced to 25 years in the penitentiary immediately following her husband. The court imposed the maximum penalty upon both Boyle and his wife. By reason of the fact that Mrs. Boyle had been found guilty only as an accessory, the penalty imposed upon her was lighter than that given her husband. Pittsburg, Pa.-James Boyle and his wife, Helen Boyle, were lodged in the Western penitentiary here, the former under a sentence of life imprisonment, the latter sentenced to serve The severity of the sentence imposed upon the pair appalled the town of Mercer, where it was pronounced. Both prisoners collapsed in court upon being sentenced, and had to, be carried from the room. Hardly had they reached their cells when word was given out that the woman had taken poison during the night, and had narrowly escaped death at her own hands, and that a razor had been found concealed in Boyle's clothing. Before this thrill had lost its force, it gave the victim a chance to escape Harry Forker, brother of Mrs. Whilla, in the kidnapping case. In Mercer and Sharon the story does not seem to be generally credited, and, as the district attorney has no faith in it, there is little likelihood of any formal action in the matter. MOSES CALLED FIRST STRIKE. WRIGHT BROTHERS WELCOME. Aviators Have Enough European Contracts to Keep Them Busy. Now York City—Wilbur and Orville Wright, the American aeroplanists, returned from the scenes of their European triumphs abroad by the North German-Lloyd Ilner Kron Prinzec Cecile. They were accompanied by their sister. Miss Katherine Wright, who made three flights at Paul recently, and said that she was not scared a bit by her achievement. A big reception and welcome home which had been planned by the Aero Club of America and other societies was called off at the request of the Wrights. DUKE ATTEMPTS SUICIDE. Abruzzi Seems to Be Utterly Weary of Life. Home, Italy.—Court circles are agitated over sensational reports which have reached the government about the Duke of Abruzzi. It is related that in one of the fits of depression to which the duke has become subject of late, he attempted to kill himself with a revolver on the way out to India, but was saved by a member of his suite, who had kept a vigilant watch on him. Letters from members of the expedition represent that the duke is utterly reckless. It is believed that the duke's mood is due to his failure to win Miss Katherine Elkins for a bride. Ex-Sultan's Son Plans Revolt. Belgrade, Servia. — It is reported that Burhan Eddin, the son of Abdul Hamid, the deposed sultan of Turkey, is planning an Albanian uprising. According to the proposed plan, he will march to Salonica and rescue his father and try to elevate him to power once more. No More Recruits Wanted. Washington, D. C.-Orders have been issued at the war department for the immediate discontinuance of the recruiting depots at Birmingham, Ala.; Dallas, San Antonio, Houston and El Paso, Texas. Newsy Paragraphs. P. H. Beans, a drayman at Sheldon, Iowa, has been notified that he is heir to an estate of $40,000,000 in New York city. Beans is poor and has a family. It is reported at Santander that former President Castro, of Venezuela, has decided to take up his permanent residence on the island of Tenerife. Angered because his companion, Max Steiner, refused to quit whistling when he wanted to sleep. Joe Hebquist shot and killed Steiner and is in the county jail at Eureka, Cal., charged with murder. Peter M. Miller, father of fourteen children, committed suicide at Des Moines, Iowa, by swallowing carbolic acid. Shortly before taking the drug he told his wife that he could no longer take care of so large a family. The widow is destitute. General F. D. 'Grant' in a lecture before the Chicago Y. M. C. A. on "Total Abstinence," said: "The reason that I urge total abstinence in all young men is because that when a man gets drunk only once in a while, he always chooses the 'wrong time.'" PLENTY OF WHEAT PLENTY OF WHEAT There Is No Reason Why the Price Should Be So High. SECRETARY WILSON TALKS Reports That Wheat Crop of Country is Poor Were Falsified—Price of Bread Should Not Go Up. Chicago, ill.—The so-called common people, those who earn their bread by the sweat of their brow, are being robbed by the Chicago wheat king," declared Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson in an interview, "It is the most deliberately planned robbery that ever occurred in the history of the United States. It is a case of the speculator preying upon the poor—upon the men who work for a living; whose wives and children depend on their wages for bread. They must have bread. "This thing has been planned for months if not more than a year," continued the secretary. "It was no accidental case. The men back of it are shrewd, speculators. I give them credit for being the shrewdest that ever attempted to corner the wheat market. "Agents were sent out all over the United States to gather statistics on wheat. They were instructed to get a bad report. They got it. It was published. Speculators have said right along that the wheat crop of the country is poor. It is a lie pure and simple. The reports have been falsified. "I tell you there is plenty of wheat in the United States. There is enough for every one, and there is no reason why the price should be so high. Bread prices, should not go up. I understand that Jasper A. Fatten laughed at government reports, but him laugh. It is the privilege of every American citizen to laugh. But I don't want to see the price of-wheat go so far beyond the price it should bring because manipulators are juggling with the market. It should be no higher than it was last year." MESSAGE ABOUT PORTO RICO. President Directs Attention of Congress to Island Affairs. Washington, D. C.—President Taft sent "to congress a special message recommending legislation at the present extra session, amending the Foraker act under which Porto Rico is governed. The president directs the attention of congress to affairs in the island, laying particular stress on what he terms "a situation of unusual gravity" developed through the failure of the legislative assembly of Porto Rico to pass the usual appropriation bills, leaving the island without support after June 30. next. Porto Ricans have forgotten the generosity of the United States, the president says, in the desire of certain of the island's political leaders for power, and he adds that the present situation indicates that the United States has gone too fast in the sensual power to the Porto Ricans. He concludes that the absolute power of appropriation should be taken away from "those who have shown themselves too irresponsible to enjoy it." NAVAL STORES MEN GUILTY. Nash, Shotter, Boardman, Myers and Moller Convicted at Savannah. Savannah, Ga. "Gullity" was the verdict brought in by the jury in the case of the so-called "turpentine trust," though, peculiarly, the names of the two indicted corporations are omitted, and the verdict applies only to the five individual defendants, E. S. Nash, president of the American Naval Stores Company; Spencer P. Shotter, chairman of its board of directors; George Meade Boardman of New York, its treasurer, and J. F. C. Myers, vice president of the company, and Carl Moller of Jacksonville, Fla., manager of that company, and also Jacksonville manager of the National Transportation and Terminal Company. The sixth defendant, Charles J. DeLoach, was found not guilty at the direction of the court. The jury does not mention either of the indicted corporations, the American Naval Storer Company and the National Transportation and Terminal Company. MOTHER FEARED KIDNAPERS. Woman Appeared on Streets Hand, cuffed to Little Daughter. Tacoma, Wash.—Mrs. Eliana Reed, divorced wife of B. T. Reed, a wealthy real estate man of Denver, appeared on the street with her 9-year-old daughter, Inez, handcuffed to her. Mrs. Reed explained that two attempts had been made to kidnap the child, and she believed the silver-chained handcuffs will guarantee her daughter's safety. ALCOHOL IN BREAD. Temperance People Will Have to Quit Eating It. Chicago, Ill.-On the theory of many persons that the partaker of any food containing even a slight quantity of alcohol is likely to acquire the Iquor habit, those Chicagoans wishing to guard against this result, must quit eating bread. Experiments conducted in London establishing the presence of 7.2 grains of alcohol in every bun weighing 21.2 ounces, have been repeated in Chicago with more impressive results. Chicago bread, of the 5-cent loaf variety, has been found to contain from three to four-tenths of 1 per cent of alcohol. LATE NEWS NOTES. General. The British naval estimates call for an expenditure of $175,713,500 during the next fiscal year. This is almost $10,000,000 more than the United States will spend, and very nearly twice the sum that Germany will devote to her establishment. Charles Whitney, an uncle of President Taft and a wealthy merchant of Green Bay, Mich., eloped with Miss Eva Gerardian, an unusually pretty and attractive dressmaker of Green Bay. The bridegroom is sixty, the bride twenty. Adul Hamid has saved his life, but that is about all that remains to him. Terrorized by the threats of the young Turks leaders, he has transferred the $10,000,000 that he had on deposit in foreign banks over to the Young Turks. Bellering that it is better late than never, John P. Brady, contractor and builder, has had erected at his country home near Baltimore, Md., a monument to the memory of Adam, the first man. A "moonshining" outfit brought from the mountains of Eastern Kentucky, will be exhibited at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition at Seattle this summer. Dr. Emil G. Hirsch, of Chicago, in an address recently, urged the teaching of morality In the public schools, but said that the use of a text-book in this teaching would be ridiculous. He said, that the accumulation of knowledge which does not improve the character is not education in the true sense. The Chinese regent, Prince Chun, who since the dismissal of Yuan Shi Kal, has been collecting lists of officials who were dismissed previous to his taking office, has issued an edict rehabilitating the reputations and rewarding the families of five officials of the late Dowgwer Empress, who were beheaded for opposing the Boxers. A bottle of beer was placed in the corner stone of the new town hall at Gary, Ind., just before the ceremonies started. An enthusiastic prohibitionist placed the bottle filled with the amber fluid in the niche of the cornerstone. The inscription on the bottle read, as follows: "At one time the contents of this bottle was used as a beverage by the people, but the beverage was destined to become extinct." Sput out of the house of commons by the police, the English suffragettes chartered the launch Dreadnaught, and putting a band on board, steamed up the river opposite the house of parliament. Here the boat stopped and the women sang the Marsellasse. Then suddenly there was fired from the launch a broadside of rockets. These burst above the terraces and a regular snow storm of handbills fluttered down over the watching members. Washington. In a conflict between Panama police and employees of the canal zone, near the dividing line, C. M. Abbott, an electrician in the power house at Cristobal, an American, and a negro, also an American, were killed. The police went to arrest an escaped prisoner, when they were attacked by the West Indians. The Morse code letters C. Q. D, will no longer be the distress signal from vessels in trouble. Owing to the difficulty of making and deciphering this signal, it has been decided to abandon it and substitute "S. O. S." The new signal has been adopted by the Berlin treaty and is now official all over the world. The next Jack Binns who signals from the wireless telegraph room of a vessel in distress will flash out "S. O. S." in place of the now famous "C. Q. D." According to, advises just received from Colonel George W. Goethals, the Panama canal at the present rate of progress will be completed, so far as the excavation is concerned, by August 1, 1911. The total amount of excavation since May 4, 1904, when the United States undertook the work, has been 73,124,849 cubic yards. Of this amount more than one-half, or 38,059,180 cubic yards, has been taken out in the last twelve months. It is estimated that there remains to be excavated 101,40,746 cubic yards. The president has nominated as United States district judge for eastern district of North Carolina, Henry Groves Connor, of North Carolina. The president gave more consideration to this North Carolina judgeship than to all of the other vacancies on the federal bench, with which he has had to deal, since his inauguration. He has been in constant consultation with the North Carolina senators and representatives and has placed before him the; names of at least a dozen candidates. Judge Connor, a democrat, was for about ten years on the bench of the supreme court of North Carolina. Four Sac and Fox Indians from Ohio were among the large throng of visitors at the white house who shook hands with President Taft one day recently. The chief of the delegation was Push-E-TaNequa. An Indian named Tesson acted as interpreter and introduced his fellow callers. Tesson is a member of the G. A. R., and wore his brass-buttoned uniform. The Memphis freight bureau filed complaint with the interstate commerce commission against the Southern railroad and San Francisco, and Mobile and Kansas City railways, alleging that these roads have practically isolated the region north of Pontotoc, Miss., from Memphis markets for cotton and cotton seed because of prohibitive freight rates.

Matthew Arnold, wisest of Victorian critics, pointed out years ago the perils with which the advance of democracy is fraught, unless it be achieved through a common enlightenment and a pervading soclalpas- sion. Socialism is democracy pushed to am extreme. It would involve im- mensely elaborated machinery. Unless the spirit of the living creature be in the wheels, one foresees them grinding destruction. Should socialism be other than the expression of a general will very different from that of today, it would be an unbearable tyranny. The only comfort is that it could not endure.

THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO. 462 West Broad Street, SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Ga. as Second-Class mail matter. The agitation for a new school should not abate. It is needed and we should harken to the cry. A bill making it compulsory for children to attend school will be introduced at the coming session of the legislature; and it should be passed. Every child should be made to attend school without loss of time, except for illness. It is Mark Twain who has wisely said: "There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it hardly behooves any of us to talk about the rest of us." This should be considered by those who are inclined to speak harsh and evil things of others. LAST week a detective arrested one of our letter carriers simply because he was passing the box where several boys were held under arrest, and asked one of the boys some questions in order that the parent could be notified of the arrest. He was placed in the patrol wagon with the boys who were compelled, it is alleged, to lay on the bottom of the wagon out of sight, in order that the carrier may be humiliated by the arrest. The carrier was on duty, and the matter was immediately taken up by the district attorney's office. The police force is alive with officers who are always anxious to humiliate our people for the least act. Our neighbor The Savannah Tribune is awfully insulted because the executive committee of District Grand Lodge No. 18, GUO of O F took the precaution to advise the craft against dead beats and professionals—Atlanta Independent. Our neighbor, The Atlanta Independent, does not quote the facts when it says that we are insulted about the matter in question. The article is from a contributor. We do not express our sentiments through signed articles. Brunswick McKae. Under guard of the Hussars, Brunswick McRae was tried last week in Bryan county. The jury found him guilty and the judge sentenced him to be hung. McRae killed a white man who entered his home to arrest him without legal authority. In the sight of the law McRae was justified. He simply defended himself in his home. This is not the end of the case for God has put it in the judge to select a fearless and conscientious gentleman to defend him in the person of the senior member of the firm of Oliver & Oliver of this city. In his argument Mr. Oliver said: "I am not ashamed of defending this Negro. It was a duty imposed upon me by the court, and I want to be a man before God in doing it. If I failed in it I would be ashamed to look my wife in the face; if you men fail in your duty not one of you can look your wife in the face without shame." and to a reporter of one of the daily papers be said: "The Negro, is not guilty of murder, and under the law he is not guilty of any crime. If he were a white man the jury would have acquitted him in less than ten minutes. But, as it is, there is no more chance of Brunswick McKae's going to hell by way of the rope than there is of his going to heaven in a literal chariot of fire. "If my motion for a new trial is not sustained the supreme court will overrule the verdict." Mr. Oliver deserves commendation for his work in McRae's behalf. If it were not for him, the accused would have at the appointed time meet his Maker. This conscientious lawyer must not be forgotten by our people. Physician's Meeting. Last week the physicians of the State met at Augusta. Savannah occupied a prominent part on the program. The meeting was a success in every respect. The session will be held here next year. THE TRIBUNE pledge hearty support in assisting in giving the visitors the time of their life. St. Mary's Dots: Mr. R. L. Davis of Brunswick, Ga. is here visiting his daughter, Miss Gertie L. Davis, who is a student of St. Mary's high school. The closing exercises of St. Mary's high school was quite a success of which Prof. J. M. Washington is principal. Mrs. L. A. Washington of Savannah accompanied by her son Prof. Washington left for their home on Wednesday. We hope The people of St. Marys regret very much that Prof. Washington is leaving since he has proven himself as being a great educator and christian worker in the cause, but as the term is out and he has so many calls elsewhere we bid him God's speed and rest assure that the good Lord will take care of him wherever he goes, and trust he will not refuse to come back at our next opening in September. The educational sermon was preached Sunday for the school at the M. E. Church by the pastor, Rev. E. J. Kimball, D. D., which was enjoyed by all. The church was packed to its utmost capacity. St. Marys is still on the boom. A large picnic and ball game given Tuesday in honor of Prof. Washington and his school. Every one enjoyed it. Anent The Men's Sunday Club The Men's Sunday Club has inaugurated an era of increased usefulness. The report of a committee on "Ways and Means" has been adopted and every thing points toward the future activity of all its members. Those who were once enthusiastic but for one cause or another ceased to perform active service are returning, pledging their future support to the club and to the work of uplift that is its aim and intent. Significant in the history of the club is the fact that it has passed the point of experiment and is now a fixity in the community-life. On the 26th day of April four years ago the club was organized, and through all these years it has claimed the attention of the people of the community. True, some have criticised and condemned it, but a vast majority of the citizens have commended it and emphasized their commendation by their support. Seeing the tenacity of the popular voice the critics have dwindled to a feeble few, whose words fall upon the popular ear like fibre on adamantine clay. And the club moves on, supported by reverential age and gallant youth, irrespective of sex or creed. A word with reference to that superb organization of stalwart young manhood, known and styled "The Newport Set" may not be considered amiss in this narrative. These young men rally to the support of the club in ways which bespeak much not alone for the organization of theirs but for the Sunday Club and every organization of our city that has for its object the betterment of the condition of the lives of the youth of the city. "When troubles like a gloomy cloud, Had gathered thick and thundered loud." our vice officer, Mr. Harry Gordon, hastened his foot steps to this gallant body of young men, and told his "tale but in coin and in Mr. Gordyops face which had formerly worn the frown of worry was lit up by the "smile that wont come off." The Newport set is a valuable asset of the club and the members of the club feel proud of them because they are aware of the fact that there is within them both brain and brawn and because they present a splendid exhibition of stalwart manhood. The club has a grave duty to perform "in self defense" a duty that is necessary and one that is in the economy of common sense. The club has not followed out this idea continuously and the result is visible to its ardent supporters. Whatever may be said or done to the contrary, the club as an individual, must contribute to it patrons such as amount of real wholesome instruction as is commensurate to the time and means contributed to the club by its patrons. This fact is based upon the law of exchange and cannot be rationally refuted. "Time is money" and the club should give for it an article of entertainment of equal value. There was a time in the history of the club that when its patrons asked, and even before the asked for bread, we gave them full meal and dessert, we gave them mental meals in the exploits of "Dick Wright" our boy sociologist and scholar, Dr. Proctor, Jordan, Bascom Anthony, Work, Wright, Thompson, McIntosh, Grant, Taylor, Overstreet. But that time is now history. But the lethargy is off and in the future we see the flare of the light of hope revealing the body of resurrected activity. Upon the placard in its hand we see the notice of winter lectures, real live programs for each Sunday. Upon this placard we see dead and digested enunciations "scratched" and redun dant methods cancelled. What is really needed, is not so much the thing that some one in "Utopia" says he is doing as what this club is doing right under the eyes of the people of the community. The club has a purpose. The purpose has been so indefinitely displayed as to subject it to the criticism to casual observers. They claim that we meet for no purpose. And if for a purpose, it is not made visible to the visitors. True these attacks have been offset to some extent by the splendid accomplishments of the club in the past, but this does not quiet the cavil of the present. Let the club awake to a sense of the responsibility it has itself manufactured and shouldered. It must be heavy; but you can drop it. It is yours. You must carry it. Develop a force then, that will strengthen the loins if it does not lighten the load. Edward Winfred Sherman. F. B. B. Church Dots. The weather on Sunday was ideal and the G U O of O F, Households and Juveniles made a grand show. Those who saw the brothers marching to the church witnessed a grand sight. The program was begun on time and carried out to the letter: Master of Ceremonies K V P J N o. McIntosh was at his best. His little jokey speeches, as he introduced each speaker, kept us so busy smiling that even the very small juvenile children forgot to get tired. P G M , C M Brinson sold lots of good things in his five minutes talk. The Juveniles were well represented by Miss Charlotte Genoss, when Mrs Ethel Ethan finished read aloud a book, we felt that just the right one for the whole story. The master of ceremonies introduced P N F, Rev. Wright in glowing terms. He asked the congregation to give him their prayerful attention as he was sure the sermon would be just what it ought to be. Rev Wright in his usual signified manner welcomed the order. He said that he feud it was quite an honor to be stowed upon it he is only about nine months in the ministry. His text was from John 16:13, the subject, "True Friendship." The sermon was just what we expected. He pictured very minutely the friend-hip of Jonathan and David. That was true friendship because Jonathan was the king's son and had all luxuries that money could buy David was a poor she herd boy Jonathan dressed Davidin his own clothes and presented him to the king. When David was about to be killed by Saul because of jealousy, Jonathan befriended him at the risk of his own life. That was true friendship. He said that some times one brother of the order does a kind deed for another brother and it cost so much that the brother can never pay the debt. Sometimes it breaks up his happy home. Is that "friendship, love and truth?" Rev Wright knew just he is a N P and did not have to guess about it. We shall remain to mention more movies. The arrangement of the finance committee was the finest that we have seen. The donation from each lodge and household was from report from each lodge and household to sexton, church, pastor and choir were exceeding l liberal. A pathetic scene was witnessed when the master of ceremonies presented five afflicted brothers of the order $5.00 a piece. One brother is so afflicted that he cannot speak. How tenderly the brothers put the money in the slack pockets and when the services ended took them to hacks at the door as endlessly as if they were babies. What a pity that men and women will not open their eyes and see what a great good the order is doing. They believe in putting floral emblems on your grave while you are alive and can say "Thank you." The choir rendered excellent music At night Rev. Wright read for the lesson II Cor. 51:19. The text was from II Cor. 12:15. The subject was "The unspeakable sift" though Wright had preached the sift he did not appear tired. The sermon was well received. The sermon sorry when he ended it. The choir sang "Let Him In." The song "There is a land of pure delight" was sung and the crowd came forward and knelt at the altar to have one pray for them. A soul touching prayer was offered in their behalf. Sister Josephine Straughn of the Foreign Mission Board, headquarters, Louisville, Ky., was presented and gave quite a lengthy talk about their work. An after collection of $11.30 was taken to assist the Foreign Missiones. The revival is still going on. Don't fail to hear Rev. Wright's Thanksgiving sermon to the Good Samarin cf the eastsde on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. St. Philip Dots Large gatherings were out at each service on Sunday to hear Rev Lindsay. At eleven o'clock the services were very impressive. The congregation and choir sang hymn "Bread of heaven." Rev Lindsay's theme was "Religion in our every day walk of life, or upon the highway." In part Rev Lindsay says that the christians do not have to wait until they come to the church or to make a loud noise to let the world know that they are christians, but they must live as christians at their daily occupation, in dealing with men in business transaction and various ways, because God knows the intention of every heart and if we do not live such lives it will not do at the judgement bar of God. At eight o'clock, Rev Lindsay's theme of discussion was very interesting and beneficial along all lines of life. Two prominent Bishops are expected to be the guests of St Philip's for a few days in the near future. It is very gratifying to note that St Philip Sunday school for the past year is progressing along all lines. We see by the Sunday school looking at there has been no changes in the standing of several classes; a hint to the wise is sufficient. We also note quite a rise in the Sunday school thermometer in attendance and collections. We guess that the rise in the temperature of the weather is the cause, or that picnic at Daufuski on June 3rd. In St Philip dots of last week we said that St Philip Sunday school will picnic at Bluffton, it will not be Bluffton but Daufuski. Please note corrections and govern yourselves accordingly. The ladies of the Home and Foreign Missionary Society of St Philip will give a series of entertainments in the Ladies Exchange (church annex) beginning Tuesday night next. The usual service will be held on tomorrow. Second Baptist Church Second Baptist Church "To Beaufort June' the 8th" is the motto here now. All churches, lodges, societies and individuals have a cordial invitation to go with us. The pastor preached last Sunday on the meeting of 'Jacob and Esau'; he baptized also after preaching. Our newly ordained preacher the Rev Jas H Rogers assisted Dr May in the Communion Sunday afternoon; he also preached Thursday night. Rev Rogers has a loyal Christian spirit. Aside from the general collection Sunday special collections were raised for President Whitmeir of the Baptist High School; Sister-Charlotte Maxwell and the South American Missionary Mrs Sroghn, over the absence of Supt E B Edward and Supt. Deacon Robt M Davis conducted an cellenl session of the Sunday School at 2:30 p.m. One funeral; those on the sick list Sisters Charlotte Maxwell, Nora Brown, Nancy King, Williams, Roberts, and Howard, also Brother Frazier and Sister Johnson at Sandy Station, one member at Woodville and one at East Savannah. Deacon McHardy gave some encouraging remarks Sunday morning. The pastor will preach at both hours tomorrow. A special meeting is called tomorrow after eleven o'clock service; every member requested to be present. Mrs Sroghn's address Sunday was fine indeed. F. A. B. Church The pastor Rev W L Jones filled his pulpit at each service on last Sunday. The morning and evening services were greeted with a large attendance and the pastor, though somewhat in ill health, preached two very acceptable sermons. Especially was his sermon at the eight o'clock service, at which time he addressed the Union Sons and Daughters of the Gospel Traveler's Society, received with much enthusiasm. His text was found in Geneses 42:11, subject "Omeness of Brotherhood." The brotherhood of man was fully discussed and apparently his society and others present got their portion from his able discourse out of Holy Writ. The society was made welcome, and as a token of their appreciation they presented the pastor and church with a unique sum after some vers time y words were spoken by the President and Secretary. Each member is taxed one dollar for the Baptist State Missionary Convention, and is asked to take an envelope and return same by Sunday May 80th. Monday May 17 h will be our regular monthly conference. All members are a ked to be present as much business will claim the attention of the conference, and you cannot afford to be absent the sick list of members have decreased consider blr, much to the delight of the pastor and officers. St. Phillip Monumental. Sunday was a glorious one. At 9:30 a m more than a hundred pupils filled the pews and lessons were discussed briefly and at eleven o'clock every one was ready for services. The choir was at his best and sang beautifully The pastor Rev K A Townsley preached two elegant sermons; at eleven o'clock, his text was "The darkness is past and the light now shineth" At 8 o'clock p.m, text "What is man that, thou art mindful of him." At 3 p.m Rev N Bembry of Gaines Chapel A M E Church preached an ab'e sermon for Brother Henry Simmons, class in behalf of the May rally. Three new teachers have been added to the Sunday school, and things are going on nicely Our pastor made a flying trip to the gate city this week, spending a few days with his wife Mrs L A Townsley. Remember the picnic June 14th, at Daufuskie, Island. Go with St. Phillip A M E Sunday School, West Broad and Charles Streets, June 3, to Daufuskie. Ministers' Unions The Baptist Ministers Union held its regular session at the F A B Church, Rev Wm. Gray president. Rev J. W Hill conducted the devotions. The order of the day was taken up and discussed. 'How do I prepare my sermons?' was discussed by Rev. D. W Cannon and it was so interesting and so helpful that none of the brethren was satisfied to drop it unil it was thoroughly understood. Rev. A W Bryant of Valdosta, passed through the city on his way to New York. He is having his vacation. Rev J. A Wimberly of Waynesboro, Ga., is in the city, he is conducting a revival meeting for Rev M A James. Sister Straghn the field missionary of the National Baptist Convention is yet in the city. We nope her success. The Interdenominational Ministers Union, held its regular meeting at the Congregational Church, Dr. J H May, president. The following ministers were in attendance: Drs.

Revs V Birmby and W A Daughtry were entered as members. Dr. J A Lindsay, discuss the subject. "Does God qualify these whom He calls." Dr. Lindsay gave a splendid outline on this subject, which was enjoyed by all. Drs. J Lindsay, W Cannon, E D Giddens and P W Gwrestheart, made splendid talks on the subject. The discussion was indeed very helpful. Dr L A Townsley was made the regular reporter to the secular press. The constitutional amendments and strike outs will be called in the next meeting. The articles to be amended will appear 1 ter. The ministers of the city are requested to attend the meeting and bring their friends. The doors stand ajar to all. Program will appear before the next meeting. The Evangelical Ministers Union met in St. Philip A M E Church. Devotional services were conducted by Rev H C Hagins. "Bless the tie that binds" was sung and having prayer the first Psalm was read for the lesson. The Union joined in chanting "Stand up, stand up for Jesus." As Dr Giddens was absent, there was no paper. Sermonic reports was taken up. Revs R J Jefferson and W L Cash gave the Union some splendid outlines which the Union enjoyed. Dr J A Hadley, one of the old members of the Union was present and gave us a timely address. Dr Daniels was introduced and also gave us a timely and helpful address. The Union certainly enjoyed Dr R H Singleton's response. Look out next Tuesday for the subject, "Has the Negro properly improved his opportunity, if not so in what respect has he failed" by Rev J S Jenkins. The public is invited and always welcome.

The Moral Effects of Pain Bodily Discomfort Part of Nature's Benevolence, Says the Lancet, and the Powers of the Will and the Imagination Make Complications. From the earliest age, from the first time that men began to think, says the Lancet, the origin of pain has troubled the human mind. Inasmuch as pain is inflicted by one man on another mainly as a punishment for actions which that other has done, the first idea that arose was that pain arising from unperceived causes must be the punishment of some deity or some power of nature which had been wronged or offended by human action, and the earliest prayers and offerings were in all likelihood intended to mitigate or to remove the wrath of the outraged deity and not merely to obtain some blessing. cur in which the pain is out of all proportion to the benefit to be derived and pain occurs from which no benefit can in any way accrue. In these circumstances the doubts of many as to the origin of pain are not unreasonable, but a full consideration of the whole subject will show clearly that, the gain far outweighs the loss. On the sensitiveness of animals to pain depends their very existence. If we accept without reserve this view of the original beginning of pain we must acknowledge that in many cases we meet with phenomena which appear to be inconsistent with it. By no means rarely it happens that the The more our knowledge extends as to the beliefs of primitive races the more certain we become that the starting-point of prayer is fear, of pain. The storm and the earthquake, the flood and the 'drought, cold and famine each showed to primitive man, as is shown to many of his successors, his powerlessness amid the convulsions of nature or the inclementies of the seasons; so man was led to attempt to propitiate the unknown powers that can cause and can make to cease the manifestations which he dreads. In conditions that may be called civilized men have been found willing at the command of their priests to sacrifice their nearest and dearest to the offended gods, to cast into the flames their own children, and to give up their wealth if only they may attain peace from a devastating foe or food in famine; for the disasters, they felt, must be the outcome of some wrong-doing, intentionally or unwittingly performed, a punishment, which cannot be escaped except by the propitiation of the offended gods We find through the ages that misfortunes of all kinds, and pain among the number, are looked upon as punishment for sin. Job's three friends acknowledge that he has always appeared upright and honest in his dealings; but they fear that that is only because he has kept his sin hidden, the mere fact that he has suffered so many and great misfortunes is in itself clear evidence that he must have sinned and sinned greatly. Even at the present time there are many, well-meaning and religious people though they are, who decline to look upon misfortune occurring to others as anything less than the just punishment of some secret sin. Of all the misfortunes which man may suffer the most striking and the most obstructive is certainly pain. Loss of wealth may be for a time at least forgotten, and there are many compensations; loss of strength may matter but little, but pain cannot be put aside; it may banish sleep, that sovereign cure for the ills of mankind; it cannot be forgotten and it becomes' an obsession, for' it denies the claim of the mind to consider aught else Since, then, pain so thrusts itself on our attention, it is well worth while to consider the real meaning of pain. Why does pain exist? In its origin pain is protective; it was evolved for the benefit of the organism, which feels it. The well-known experiments in which a headless frog withdraws his foot from irritating liquids or removes an irritation from his leg show that the displacement of a source of irritation has been arranged in the reflex mechanism of the body. In these and similar experiments we see definite reflex arrangements for the removal of irritants without any association with sensation and therefore without any pain. The appearance of sensation, whether pleasurable or painful, complicates the effect of a stimulus, for it superimposes intention to the pre-existing reflex mechanism. It has been suggested that both pleasure and pain are merely epiphenomena and not casually related to the efforts, but this is clearly wrong. The object of pain is certainly to increase the efficacy of the movements which result from the application of an irritant. While the movements are purely reflex, they are on the whole well calculated, in simple cases at least, to remove the source of irritation. But cases may readily occur in which the ordinary reflex movement will prove harmful and not beneficial. For such occasions, the aid of the intellect is needed, and this assistance is invoked by pain. Pain, then, in its inception, was wholly benevolent, and did it not require the organism itself would rapidly come to extinction. Even in the fully developed being loss of sensation of any part with loss of capability of feeling pain leads to the persistence of injuries to which painful sensations would have put an end at the very commencement. It is to be noticed that we cannot imagine the evolution of pain before the existence of motors mechanism by which the organism can remove the source of pain. It may be asked at how low a point in the animal scale the idea of pain was evolved. The answer is that pain commenced probably as a mere discomfort and that its intensity increased with the development of the organism. Therefore, under pain in its widest sense we must include all unpleasant sensations from the faintest discomfort to the most intense suffering. Originally, then, all forms of pain were intended to serve the useful purpose of preserving the organism from harm, but numberless instances oc- THE NATURE OF SOIL FERTILITY Recent Discoveries Have Suggested the Employment of Novel Fertilizers. cur in which the pain is out of all proportion to the benefit to be derived and palms occur from which no benefit can in any way accrue. In these circumstances the doubts of many as to the origin of pain are not unreasonable, but a full consideration of the whole subject will show clearly that the gain far outweighs the loss. On the sensitiveness of animals to pain depends their very existence. If we accept without reserve this view of the originar beginning of pain we must acknowledge that in many cases we meet with phenomena which appear to be inconsistent with it. By no means rarely it happens that the uneasiness produced by a small pain is much greater than that resulting from a severe pain. There are many who will endure with fortitude a pain which is truly great, and yet they may be rendered incapable of doing any work by some small but persistent source of discomfort. By a powerful exercise of the will it is possible in many cases to overcome the influence of intense pain, so that the sufferer may be able to carry on mental work for which the closest application is necessary; it needs a great mental effort, but it can in many cases be done. The pain can for a time at least be put into the background. This is not always possible with pains of less intensity, especially if there be an element of irritation in the pain. True irritation is distinct from typical pain, and yet it is merely a special kind of pain. Irritation will not let itself be ignored; it thrusts itself to the front. A very small amount of irritation may be able to prevent entirely any continuous mental application; the strongest effort of the will may be made, but in pain; the irritation makes itself self. In circumstances such as these an acute pain is preferable to the irritation, for it is more endurable, and so we find that sufferers from irritation will scarify themselves, inflicting acute pain, but removing for a time at least the irritation which they dread. It often happens that laws, just and useful in their general application, are useless and even harmful in special case, and so it is with pain. It is seen to be of the greatest value when we look at nature as a whole, but numberless instances are met with in which pain is useless and only harmful. In those who practice medicine the alleviation of suffering is of prime importance, but they of all men must bear in mind that the removal of the cause is the only true method of the removal of pain. To drown a pain, to obtund the parts so that no pain is felt, is to throw away the warning which the pain has given. Only when the removal of the cause is beyond human skill may we content ourselves with mere relief of the pain.—New York World. Nonplusscd Mr. Gladstone. Miss Dorthy Drew, who was presented at court a few days ago, was the favorite granddaughter of the late Mr. W. E. Gladstone, and among the stolies told of her childhood days is the following: One morning she refused to get up, and, all other means falling, Mr. Gladstone was called to her. "Why won't you get up, my child?" he asked: "Why, grandpapa; djdn't you tell me to do what the Bible says?" replied Dorthy. "Yes, certainly." "Well, it disapproves of early rising — say it's a waste of time," rejoined the child. Mr. Gladstone was unable to agree, but Dorthy sure of her ground. "You listen, then," she said, in reply to his exclamation of astonishment, and, taking up her Bible she read verse 2. of Psalm 127, laying great emphasis on the words, "It is vain for you to rise up early." "Tit-Bits." Recent discoveries in regard to the nature of soil fertility have suggested the employment of various novel, fertilizers. Manganese has been applied with success, and now M. Rigaux has published an account of a series of experiments, made in Belgium, in the employment of magnesia as a fertilizer for cereals, potatoes, beets and leguminous crops. The magnesia was applied in the form of kalmit, or Stassturf potash salt, which contains fourteen per cent. of magnesium sulphate. Rigaux had previously proved that the quantity of magnesia in arable land is smaller than is generally supposed, and that the surface soil always contains less magnesia than the subsol. Magnesia is found in plants in considerable quantities, constituting, for example, thirteen per cent. of the ash of wheat and eight per cent. of the ash of oats. Hence, if no magnesian fertilizer is applied, repeated cropping must exhaust the magnesia of the soil, to the detriment of succeeding crops. It appeared probable, therefore, that the application of magnesia would produce a beneficial effect. This theoretical conclusion was fully confirmed by the experiments. The yield of sugar beets was increased by 4500 pounds per acre, and the percentage of sugar was not AMAZING FACTS ABOUT WHITE SLAVE, TRAFFIC. The following amazing facts were brought to light recently by an investigation of the white slave traffic in Chicago: The chief procurers arrested were named Du Fors. They were man and wife. Their ball was fixed at $25,000. Furnishing their own bond, they gave the Government as security their own house and lot valued at $35,000. The next day they left Chicago for Paris—thus forfeiting to the Government their handsome residence. Reaching France, they immediately resumed their shameless operations. But their traffic this time was in American girls. Recently they were caught, brought to justice, and sentenced to a French prison—the man for a term of five years, the woman for two years. The district attorney came into possession of the book accounts of the Du Fors. The records of business transacted establish the following facts: That the white slave traffic is an organized syndicate, with headquarters in Chicago, and branch offices established in all our large cities. These branch houses become "clearing houses" and "distributing centres" for this unthinkable syndicate! It buys a girl for $15, and sells her for $150, sometimes $500! The Du Fors house alone did a business of $110,000 the first nine months of 1908, and $200,000 for the year of 1907! Regularly and systematically it sends hunters to France, Hungary, Italy and Canada for victims. It stations its highlings at every port of entry in Canada and America. They scan immigrants, and seek to trap unprotected girls by speaking to them in their own tongue, or by an offer of employment. Then follow in quick succession capture, ruin, slavery—hell! WISE WORDS. A soft answer never has a sting in it. Self-esteem does not develop self-reliance. Courage is simply the conquest of our fears. Knowledge is power only so far as it is practiced. Kicking ceases to help when it becomes a habit. Self-depreciation soon ceases if it be not contradicted. You can complete a good work, but you can never end it. Conscience is simply our sense of moral social responsibility. No man bears his burden better by adding your blame to it. Life is pretty sure to be tragedy to those who take it only as a play. The far-off vision comes half way to those who follow it faithfully. Many think they are going forward bravely because they fear to go back. It's a poor kind of plenty that seeks all the pleasures and dodges the pains. The significance of sins against ourselves is that they are sins against society.—From "Sentence Sermons," in the Chicago Tribune. Has No Diaphragm. A novel telephone receiver without a diaphragm has recently been devised, for which many advantages are claimed. It consists of a permanent magnet, the poles of which are connected by a soft core, making a continuous magnetic circuit. A coll wound round this core is connected to the transmitter and a suitable battery. When the transmitter is spoken into, says the Scientific American, the undulatory current affects the entire magnetic circuit of the receiver, reproducing the voice very distinctly. It is said that with this receiver there are no overtones or disturbing sounds due to the vibrating of a diaphragm. In one modification of this telephone the sounds were produced with such clearness as to fill a large hall. diminished. With grains, the increase varied from one-seventh to one-fifth of the total crop. On barley magnesia had the peculiar effect of diminishing the proportion of nitrogenous constituents. This property is of advantage to brewers, who find great difficulty in making beer of good-keeping qualities from barley rich in nitrogen. The crop of potatoes was increased from 21,000 to 27,000 pounds per acre and was rendered immune to the 'attacks' of the Peronospora (mildew fungus), which infested the part of the field on which no kalnit was used. Finally, the yield of hay from natural meadow land was increased from 3000 to 4,150 pounds per acre.—Scientific American. Surely the Limit.

One of the longest delayed proposals on record is related in a French story of a shy young subaltern who was ordered away to the wars. Not daring to speak, he sent a rosegay of yellow roses to the girl he loved, with a little note inside begging her, if she returned his love, to wear one of the flowers in her breast that night at the ball. She appeared without it, and he went away broken hearted. Years afterward, when he was a same old General, he again met his old love, now a white haired widow. One day his old sweetheart gently asked him why he had never married. "Madam," he answered, somewhat sternly, "you ought to know best. If you had not refused to answer that note in the bouquet of yellow roses might have been a happier man." "The note in the bouquet?" she repeated, growing pale. She opened an old cabinet and took out from a drawer a shrivelled bouquet of what had been yellow, roses, among whose leafless stalks lurked a scrap of paper yellow with age. "See! I never had your note," she said, holding the bouquet up. "If I did, I would not have answered it as you fancied." "Then answer it now," said the gallant old soldier. And the long delayed proposal was accepted, at last—London Telegraph. After using laxative and cathartic medicines from childhood a case of chronic and apparently incurable constipation yielded to the scientific food, Grape-Nuts, in a few days. "From early childhood I suffered with such terrible constipation that I had to use laxatives continuously, going from one drug to another and suffering more or less all the time. "A prominent physician whom I consulted told me the muscles of the digestive organs were partially paralyzed and could not perform their work without help of some kind, so I have tried at different times about every laxative and cathartic known, but found no help that was at all permanent. I had finally become 'discouraged and had given my case up as hopeless when I began to use the pre-digested food. Grane-Nuts. "Although I had not expected this food to help my trouble, to my great surprise Grape-Nuts digested immediately from the first, and in a few days I was convinced that this was just what my system needed. "The bowels performed their functions regularly and I am now completely and permanently cured of this awful trouble. "Truly the power of scientific food must be unlimited." "There's a Reason."

If the weighing machines that stand around in public places with mouth over open for cents could talk odd tales could they tell of the many and varied people that step upon their platforms—of the stout lady who steps down with a smile glad that she has lost one pound out of 300, of the stout gentleman who fumes because he has galned one, of the slim, gentleman who steps up with a forty, pound gilt case in his hand and is astounded to find himself gaining weight so rapidly, of the merry parties of young men and young women who, some plump, some lean, step up one after another; of the proud parent, who sits, little Willie there and then little Ethel, of the keen, small boy, who fries get his grandfather to let him step up before the old gentleman steps down so that they can both get weighed for a cent, and all that sort of thing. In short the, weighing, machine meets all, sorts and varieties of people, and it comes to know them all; or nearly all; and it knows as a rule just what probing them to weigh themselves, whether it is interested, curiosity, fear or just fun. But probably it would puzzle even a weighing machine, though it knows so many, people, to tell just why a woman walking along a street on a rainy night and carrying an umbrella should halt at a machiide standing, out on the sidewalk and step up in the rain, to weigh herself—New York Sun. Boys With a Business. The same rule that makes a successful business man makes a successful business boy: that is to find something which people need, and then let them know that you can supply it. Of course, there are certain standard kinds of business of which every boy thinks—selling newspapers, or running errands, for example. But the really alert boy wants to invent a business of his own. Here is what a couple of boys of my acquaintance have done in a business way. The best business boy I know is James Conroy, of Plainville. Like most boys, Jimmy had increased his spending money by shovelling-snow, but in Plainville most of the sidewalks had taken care of themselves. This last winter Jimmy decided to extend his business and hire other boys to do the shovelling. So, late in November, he went from house to house, politely explaining that he proposed to make regular-season contracts for shovelling snow, just as the man who cleans the New York streets does, at so much; a cubic foot. He showed that it would be much more satisfactory to know, every thirtieth if snowed, that the shovelling would be done, and just how much it would cost, without waiting to make a bargain with any one who might come along. By this time people were interested, and when Jimmy measured their walks and showed them how much a three-inch snowfall, would cost, most of them signed his contract. Meanwhile Jimmy organized at school a shovel brigade of boys who agreed to report to him at the first snowfall, to work at a fair, fixed price, and to keep on working until his last sidewalk - was finished. Jimmy assigned each boy to a house and waited for the snow. Fortunately, it came on Friday, night, and Jimmy could use his brigade all day Saturday. Of course, some boys shirked, though that did not hurt Jimmy, for he paid only for work done; but it was a busy day for him, seeing that the walks were promptly cleared, and collecting his payment. The next storm was so heavy that it nearly swamped Jimmy; but he rose to the emergency, hired several men who preferred sure work to simply hunting for a job, and he made a good profit, for, of course, the more snow there was, the better for Jimmy. In the spring he saw, that the same system could be applied, to mowing lawns; with better results, too, for he could give steady work to two men. 'So he made contracts for the season, basing his pride on the number of square feet in the lawn. The last time I saw him he told me that he intended to try to get the work of cutting, all the lawns and shoveling the sidewalks which belonged to their small city! Then there is Jibé Sargent, of Monroe. "Monroe" is a "summer place" near a big city. Every night the business men come out from the city, and many of them, though they do not care to keep horses, prefer to drive from the station to their homes along the shore. Formerly, if they were fortunate, they found a dishgrabable diverson of one of his untidy slobbies waiting for the train. Sometimes there, were no carriages at all and sometimes, worse yet, when a carriage was ordered for a particular train, no carriage came and the business man lost his train—and his temper, too. Of course, people grumbled, but what could they do? They had to hire of Jones and take their chances, or else walk. Last summer I found on the station platform an alert boy, about thirteen years old, whose "Carriage, sir?" sounded earnest and inviting. When I smiled, in some astonishment, the boy seized my suitcase, placed it carefully, in an old carryall and darted, for another passenger. I looked at the team. Everythin, horse, harness, and carryall, was old, but everything was clean and well-polished. Decidedly, the new stable was worth trying, and I wondered, who had started it. Soon the boy returned with, and perhaps the passenger in tow, climbed, aboard, and clapped "Get up!" "Whom do you drive for?" I asked, "For myself, sir," was the answer. "You see, it's vacation, and I thought perhaps people would ridu' with me, if I started 'in business. So I took our old horse and hired this carry-all. I hope I may have your trade, sir, this summer. I won't miss any trains, if I can help it." He had my promise on the spots. Many of the cottagers tried him, and finding that he could be relied upon, became regular customers. Joe soon had more 'work than' he could, well do with his one team. Then some business men clubbed together and lent him money to buy a second team. This was not charity; for it was worth while to be sure of catching the train, and, Joe never failed. By the end of the summer he had bought the carryall, and, more than paid for the second team. This year he plans to start with three teams, and soon he will control his livery business of Munroe:—Walter Dunham, in St. Njholas. Empress Josephine's Jewelry. A barbaric generosity in jewelry marked the attire of the, Empress Josephine, who was responsible for so many of the styles that in a modified form are seen on the street, at the theatre, opera and public and private functions. Pears were favorite with her, and pearls are on, consewquence to the fore again. Gold Mine Swindles. --- PIPES THAT GROW ON A VINE This Wonderful Plant is Known as the Calabash Gourd of South Africa. To the mining engineer nothing is more wonderful that the readiness with which the general public speculates in the shares of gold mining companies. Men who would not gamble at Monte Carlo because they have an uneasy feeling that the odds are in favor of the bank think nothing of gambling in shares over whose fluctuations they have not the slightest control; which can be boomed or depressed entirely at will of the inner circle—the directors, the consulting engineers and the mine manager. The price of a gold mining share, at any rate in the case of a new mine, depends upon the reports which are cabled from the property itself; or rather, on such of those reports as the board cares to make public. A strike of rich ore, the failure of the water supply, a variation in the monthly output of gold, will send the quotations up or down, and those who make the facts public will have laid their plans beforehand. There was the case of a once famous mine in Rhodesia, whose first month's output of gold was looked forward to with the most eager interest, as the reef was regarded as the test property of a huge district. We were ready to begin crushing on the first day of the month, but, on one pretext or another, we were delayed till the 11th; then we started the machinery full power. Ordinarily a gold stamp mill is run for a whole month without a stop; then it is shut down for a day to "clean up," and immediately afterward the total tonnage of ore crushed and the total gold recovered from that ore are announced by cable. On this occasion, however, we did not stop, but had orders to run on continuously to the end of the second month—that is, for six weeks in all. Then we cleaned up, the gold was smelted and weighed, and the figures were cabled home. Nothing was said about the first fortnight's work, only they took the gold of the first six weeks and the tonnage of ore for a month, and, naturally, got an unexpectedly good result—sixteen pennyweights of gold to the ton. Of course, the shares jumped up with a bound; the public bought, and those who were in the innner circle sold. Next month the output dropped to eleven pennyweights to the ton and the shares went down with a run, never to recover. I happened once to go to see about some machinery on another new mine, which had also been much advertised, and while looking around I noticed the water reservoir, which had been made by building a dam across the bed of a small watercourse, which, though dry then, would become a regular torrent in the wet season. One glance showed me that the dam would never hold water,for any length of time, being little more than a heap of loose earth. I figured the thing out carefully. Since the Department of Agriculture, through its bureau of foreign plant investigations, brought to the notice of the smokers of this country the fact that pipes could be grown that would wear well and smoke sweet and cool, great interest has been manifested in the enterprise. This wonderful plant, known as the calabash gourd, is a native of South Africa, and produces, in the form of fruit, calabasbes which are being made into the highest quality of pipe bowls. Annually many thousands of pipe gourds are exported, both in the rough and in the finished pipe. The plants grow very fast, one plant producing from one hundred to two hundred bowls. It is about five months from the time the seed is planted until the fruit can be gathered. Constant attention must be given to the plants when under cultivation, so as to insure a crop of suitable shapes for pipes. Many farmers in South Africa make a special study of growing the correst shapes. The gourds require a hot, dry soil, with rain at the proper season, to bring them to perfection. The curved stem of the calabash forms a light and appropriate shape. This is the gourd of commerce. Curiously enough, these gourds bear a resemblance to the capacious bowled meerschum so popular in Germany. The calabash pipe not only yields a very sweet and cool smoke, but they-color beautifully. Its life is about as long as that of a brier pipe. It takes a very high polish. They are usually lined with commercial meerschum, although the cheaper grades are lined with tin. In South Africa these pipes sell for $1 to $50, according to the finish and style. The present market price of these pipes is rather high, owing to the fact that no two of them are of the same size, and shape, necessitating the making of the mountings by hand. The industry in South Africa is such that there are shipped annually from one hundred and fifty thousand to two hundred thousand pipes. The ease with which these gourds can be grown is such that it thought American smokers will not be slow to appreciate this latest and and I came to the conclusion, which proved to be correct, that it was intended to have one good month's crushing, then to stop suddenly for the three or four months necessary for the building of a new dam, and so cause a panic among the shareholders. I laid my own plans accordingly, and was, to a small extent, a participant in the profits. The drop in the market price of the shares represented a loss of about £100,000 to the holders, the value having been artificially inflated beforehand. On another mine, where we used wood fuel for our boilers, the manager deliberately held up the crushing by the simple expedient of letting his stock of dry firewood run out; then, when we started to use green wood, we could not keep up steam, and had to await the arrival of extra boilers from England. In this case the real reason for the stoppage was that the main portion of the reef had become poor, and they wanted time to pick out the few rich pockets that were left. When this had been done crushing started again with excellent results. Shares rushed up higher than ever, and those who had been quietly buying them during the stoppage sold out. Two months later the mine was shut down finally and the public lost nearly half a million. About the time of the Boer War I was acting as a labor agent for a certain mine, recruiting Kaffirs in the Portuguese territory. The supply was ample and I was congratulating myself on what I should make out of my £2 per head commission, when suddenly, to my intense disgust, a runner came down with orders to stop recruiting at once. Imagine my surprise a month later when I reached civilization again and read that this mine had been closed temporarily "owing to the shortage of native labor." Once more the inner circle was deliberately running down the shares One of the most ingenious frauds I ever knew was that of the "stolen gold." The month's output was on its way into the township on the coach when the latter was held up by highwaymen and the packages of bullion carried off. There was no insurance, and consequently no very awkward inquiries; moreover, the thieves were never traced. As a matter of fact, however, the "bullion" was only lead; consequently the manager found himself with some 1200 ounces of gold in hand. He scorned to steal this—in fact, it would have been no easy matter to get away—so he added it to the next three months' returns, and so ran up the price of the shares in which he had been speculating heavily. The profits he made out of the confiding public at home were far greater than the value of those 1200 ounces. One would like very much to know what the highwaymen said when they opened their boxes of loot.—Cassell's Journal. best thing in pipes, which seems destined to oust the meerschaum.—Dallas (Tex.)

Any one in London having a telephone can now have a "telewriter" attached, so that on ringing up another person similarly equipped he can transmit a written message or draw a sketch or write figures while speaking, his writing being instantaneously reproduced by an electric pen at the other end. The first telewriter exchange was opened recently in London Wall buildings, E. C., and already about 200 subscribers have applied. If the subscriber who is rung up happens to be out or is unable to answer the call, a message can be written automatically on his telewriter pad by writing it with the special pen on the pad of the instrument by which the call is made; telephone attendants will thus be unnecessary.—London Dally Mall. Mr. Puttoff Shirks a Duty. "My dear," said Mr. Puttof, as he looked up from his paper, "it is estimated that if a man were relatively as strong as a beetle he could lift 198,000 pounds." "Is that so?" rejoined Mrs. Puttof, as she glanced at the cat and allowed her left eyelid to drop slowly. "I'll look for a beetle the first thing in the morning." "Why, dear?" queried the alleged head of the domicile. "Perhaps if I find one," replied Mrs. P., "I may be able to get the range carried into the' summer kitchen. I've asked you at least a dozen times to do it, but it still occupies its winter quarters."—Chicago News. Lawson Pinks Running Out.

There is a very simple and interesting chemical test by which to detect impurity in paint materials. Thousands and thousands of people all over the country are making this test. It is a sure way to safeguard against the many adulterated white leads which are on the market. Any one can make the test—all that is needed is a simple little instrument 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 a book of color schemes for exterior or interior painting, or both if you wish, and a set of specifications. No houseowner should make any arrangements for painting till he gets this outfit. One can't expect a satisfactory painting job without pure white lead. There is a way to make sure you're getting a pure white lead—without testing it. See that the keg bears National Lead Company's famous Dutch Boy, Painter trademark, which is a positive guarantee of purity. Your dealer probably has this white lead. If not let National Lead Company know. Many a man who has no show thinks he is the whole menagerie. Ask Your Deserter For Allen's Foot-Ease. A powder. It rests the feet.

It occurred when Mr. Chamberlain was at the colonial office. "One night, or rather very early in the morning, the messenger was sent to Prince's Gardens with an important "cabinet circulation." Mr. Chamberlain was working late and had sent all his servants to bed, and the messenger had to wait a long time before getting an answer to his knock. At last he gave a thundering rat-tat, and presently had the satisfaction of seeing some one whom he supposed to be the butler appear in answer to his call, wearing a plain smoking jacket and smoking a clay pipe. "Oh," said the messenger, "you have come at last, have you? There's no hurry. It's only a message from the prime minister!"

Last February I went into the Economical Drug Store, on State Street, and I bought the best thing to give me the best thing he had for my trouble. He sold me a box of Tetterline, but it smarted so when I put it on till I was ready to go home. I got back to my home and finally run out of all the other salves but Tetterline, so I started using it again, but more lightly; and I did not use it but half the box before I was entirely cured.

Masogry is the holy spring where faded beauty’ rejuvenates her image darkened wisdom her light and weak ened power\her strength. Masonry is the refuge of threaten. ed fidelity, the mediator of offended {nnocence andythe recompense of un- rewarded Jove. It regulates the ming. led rights of life, the prejudiced judg: ment of passion, the action of the heart to scrutinize. What the clumsy hand of ignorance has thrown together, Masonry will separate and revive with her genlus. What the fre oP passion has embraced tpo hotly, it cobls with its mildness, and harsh judgment by the ignorant 1s covered by its shield. Masonry throws own the barriers erected between man and man and which the prejudicé of mankind has tears,away the golden garment that covers the soulless body. Masonry arraigns heart against heart, spirit against spirit, strength against strength, and gives to the de- serving the prize.

They foun- dered: in the storms of discord, and went down in the ‘ocean of contention, but the bark upon which the fortunes of our order were shipped has outrid: den hurricanes, sailed the borders of whirlpools, and today, without a de- fect in her keel, a rotten 1b or plank, a split sail or a broken cord, she ‘nides the waters like a thing of Hife;" floats her flag over myralds of ma- riners, who stand to her helm and cordage, and we belleve she is destin- ed to buffet the wind and the waves for all, time and tempests to come, Jand be afloat in all her trim, holiday splendor, .when the Angel of Doom vlows the judgment trump, and the Jast thunder shakes the world below.

Business Started Seventy Years * Ago. “ ‘Of the many unusual occupations folowed by women; probably the most curious, and by No means the least Interesting, Is that of the official time- keeper of London, to whom practical- ly every big watch and clock maker In the Metropolis pays a fee once a Week to learn the correct time, says “Tit-Bits.” “What is more,” sald Miss Bells ville, the woman in question, recently, “my father and mother before mo earned a very good Income by pro- viding London with the correct time. As a matter of fact, my curious Ilttle busiuess originated some sevens years ago. In those days It was ex- tremely difficult to obtain the exact ‘time in London. The principal watch. and clock makers had nothing to guide them. If they sent to the Greenwich Observatory there was no outside clock, and the department, of course. did not exist for the purpese of sup-_ plying watchmakers with the time. “Ultimately Mr. Pond, the astron- omer royal of the period, was ap- preached and asked if anything coull be done. My father, John Heary Belleville, was at that time chief as- sistant of the astronomer royal,"and also a ward of his, and Mr. Pond sus: gested to hint that on certain days my father should take around the right time to Londen firms by means of a corrected chronometer. “This my Yather did, the firms pay- ing him a stipulated amount per an- num, and the innovation proved s9 successful that, at the time pf his. death, he was drawing an income, from this source of between £460 and £500. year. After his death m= mother was granted the privilege of having her chronometer corrected at Greenwich whenever she pleased, tx order that ste might carry on the business of timekeeper, and when she gave it up in 1892 I tock her place. and have-carried on the business evor since, with the permission of Sir Wil Nam Christie. the present astronomer royal.” Every Monday morning Miss Belte- ville goes from Maidenhead, whera she resides. to the Observatory at Greeawich, and is there given an of- ficial document saying that her chronometer differs from ,mean time by so many seconds and tenths of sec- onds. Such a favor is granted to no ether person, and, armed” with thi< exclusive credential, Miss Belleviile sallies forth to correct the timepieces of London. She has about forty customers Iw the city, and to each she repairs in turn anJ permits them to correct their {ime In accordance with that of her own chronometer and the officlal doc- ument. Aud from. the forty custom- ers whom Miss Belleville visits for this purpose the rest of London gets its time, for the customers include suca firms as Dent’s—tbe makers of Big Ben—Benson's, ete. . To the “Tit-Rits” man Miss Bella- ville showed the chronometer which | enables her to carry on her unique business. It [s a watch of the “tur- nip” type, and of very venerable ap- pearance. Its history ts decidedly in- teresting. “It was made,” said its’ owner, “in- 1835 by Arnold, one of the most fa- mous watchmakers that ever lived, for the Duke of Sussex, a son of George lif. After possessing it a short time the noble owner discarded it because It was too clumsy, and *my father bought it at a fancy price. At that time the chronometer had a gold case, but my father had It replaced by’ a sil- ver one, as he had to visit many Lon- don slums, and thought it would be safer If it looked less imposing. “Is my business still a success, you ask? Oh, yes, otherwise I should not carry Tt on, You seé, although thera are some firms which have had their clocks electrically synchronized, theye are others who do not care for the idea, and are still glad to have the assistance of my chronometer, and if® I neglect to call they soon send for me.” Z #: ee ea sar a ae se Sis =.
