New York City.—Henry H. Rogers- vice president of the Standard Oll Company, moving spirit in the organiza- tion of the Amalgamated Copper Company, builder of railroads, and philanthropist, died at his home here from a stroke of apoplex. Death abandoned in hour after Mr. Rogers had vison for the day, mentioning to his wife that he was feeling ill. Mr. Rogers was 69 years old. Mrs. Rogers, three married daughters, a son—H. H. Rogers, Jr.—and Dr. W. J. Pulley, a physician, who was hastily summoned, wore at the bedside when the end came. News of the financier's death did not become generally known until about two hours after it occurred. There was hardly an appreciable effect on the market when Wall street opened. After a decline at first in the stocks in which he was popularly supposed to be interested, conditions rapidly adjusted themselves, confirming in a way that Mr. Rogers had in the last few months anticipated death and withdrawn from the market. Conspicuous among the early callers at the Rogers home was Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain), for many years one of the most intimate friends of the late financier, Mr. Clemens was too moved to full express his feelings, "It is terrible–terrible!" he said briefly, "I am inexpressibly shocked," and, with tears in his eyes, he quickly moved away and hurried to the Broughton residence, where he joined a number of Mr. Rogers' associates who had gathered there. Henry H. Rogers was one of the most successful men of the so-called Standard Oil group. He began life as a poor boy at Fairhaven, Mass., where he was born and retained his legal residence there until the day of his death. He is variously reported as having commenced life as a newsboy and as a driver of a grocery cart. Mr. Rogers was a man of many friends and an enthusiastic yachtman. Until recently he held the reins of the Standard Oil Company following the retirement of John D. Rockefeller. His fortune is variously estimated at from $50,000,000 to $75,000,000, which will make his son H. H. Rogers, Jr., one of the richest men in the country. Mr. Rogers' first wife died fourteen years ago, and he is survived in addition to his second wife, by four children, the son mention and the following daughters: Mrs. W. E. Benjamin, Mrs. Urben H. Broughton and Mrs. William R. Coe. TRIBUTE TO DEAD HEROES. President Taft Delivers Address at Petersburg, Virginia. Petersburg, Va.—Paying a tribute alike to the soldiers of the north and the south, President Taft witnessed the unveiling of an heroic statue in bronze erected at Fort Mahone, on the Petersburg battlefields, in memory of General Hartranft and the Pennsylvania volunteers who fell in the stubborn fight about this outpost of the confederate capital. The president, coupled with every tribute to the union soldiers, a eulogy of the valor of the confederates. "We could not dedicate this beautiful and enduring memorial," he declared, "to the volunteer soldiers of Pennsylvania, who were a sense of injustice and appropriateness had they not been confronted by an enemy capable of resisting their assaults with equal vigor and fortitude. Pennsylvania's pride must be in the victory achieved by her men against so brave, resolute and resourceful an enemy." The president declared that the battle between the states had to be fought and that enduring good had come of it. 10,000 DEAD AT ADANA. First Estimates of People Killed Exaggerated. Adana, Turkey.—The estimates of from 20,000 to 25,000 Christians killed by Mohammedans in the province of Adana, made a fortnight ago, must be revised. It is now ascertained that the number can hardly reach more than 10,000, possibly less. Thousands who were supposed to have been killed in the country districts have since come into some of the large towns for relief. Fugitives from the villages or settlements who first reached the large towns after the masacres began, exaggerated, through their fears, the extent of the slaughter. MISSING MAN FOUND. "Wild Man" of Mississippi Swamp Captured by Sheriff. Prentiss, Miss.—Sheriff Leird captured in the swamps near here a man who has shunned all civilization for the past five years, and whose presence in isolated communities with his unkempt and weird appearance earned for him the title of the "wild man." He was covered with only a scanty portion of ragged garments, his nails were five inches long and his hair and beard reached almost to his waist. He refused to eat cooked food when it was offered to him. He was identified as Marvin Whitehead, whose relatives have long searched for him. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. ENGLAND LEADS THE WORLD. Washington, D. C.—The international commerce of the world established a new record in 1907, with an aggregated value of $3,000,000,000, according to figures compiled by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor. The trade of every country, colony, protectorate and island in the world which makes any report of its commerce is included in the statement. Practically two-thirds of the vast total is credited to Europe, whbose exports are estimated at $8,000,000,000 and imports at $11,000,000,000. North America, including Central America and the West Indies, exported nearly $2,500,000,000 and imported a little less than $2,000,000,000. Asia supplied about $1,500,000 of the exports and received about the same value in imports. South America sent forth about $750,000 worth of goods and imported slightly less. The United States exported $2,133,000,000 of goods, or a little more than 14 per cent of the world's grand total, while the imports aggregated $1,156,000,000, or about 9.2 per cent of the total. The ten countries which contributed more than two-thirds to the world's total commerce, for the year, in their order, were the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Austria-Hungary, India and Russia. GREAT FIRE LOSSES. Six Million Dolals' Worth of Property Destroyed in April. Washington, D. C.—Federal experts who are making a study of building materials that will best withstand fire and who are, therefore taking a keen interest in the fire losses as they are reported for the entire country, declare that in spite of all efforts toward better building conditions, the death and destruction due to fires and conflagrations in 1909, will eclipse all previous records, with the exception of the years in which the Baltimore and San Francisco fires occurred. They point to the fact that in sixteen days of April, five big fires in different parts of the United States resulted in a loss of six million dollars, the death of twenty persons, the death of a man, and the remaining homeless of more than 3,000. The greatest of these fires was at Fort Worth Texas, resulting in a property loss of between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000, and the second in importance was at Rochester, N. Y., with 'a loss of half a million dollars. TELEGRAPHERS' ELECT OFFICERS. 1909 Convention in Atlanta Comes to a Conclusion. Allanta, Ga.—The 1909 convention of the Order of Railway Telegraphers came to a conclusion after one of the most pleasant, harmonious and successful gatherings within the history of the organization, the final work of the convention being the election of officers for the next two years and the selection of a place of meeting in 1911. The officers elected were: Grand president, H. B. Perham of St. Louis; grand secretary and treasurer, L. W. Quick of St. Louis; next vice president, J. A. Nawal of Centralla, Ill.; second vice president, T. M. Plerson of Indianapolis, Ind.; third vice president, D. Campbell of Toronto, Ont.; fourth vice president, J. J. Dermody of Mounds, Ill.

Eling, ill—James Dougherty, for the last twenty years an attendant and employee at the Northern Illinois Insane Asylum, has been taken to the institution as an inmate. Perfectly sane, according to physicians at the hospital, Dougherty left the institution two months ago on leave of absence. A fortnight ago he returned and in a few days he had become violently insane. Dr. Podstata, superintendent of the hospital, declares that constant association with insane patients was not the cause of the man's afflictions, but local physicians are inclined to believe that it was. A MODERN ELIJAH. Man Waited for Ravens to Feed Him, But No, Raven, Came. Chicago Ill—E. M. Brock, the aged Zion City man who lay four days under a tree during the severe storms, waiting for the ravens to feed him, is slowly recovering from the exposure. He had read about Elijah being fed by ravens and he decided to try it. He had enough faith to last four days, during which he prayed incessantly, but the fierce April tempest came up and the ravens were not on the job. Horrible Method of Sulctde. Cedar Rapids, Iowa.—A victim of ill health for many years, Miss Mary Sadler, near Toledo, chose a sensational method of suicide. Making an excuse that she was going to the home of her brother, Miss Sadler left home and went to a small lavine, where she raked together a pile of leaves, saturated them and herself with kerosene and applied a match. When found the woman's body was burned to a crisp. $500,000 Fire Loss in Akron, Ohio. $500,000 FIRE LOSS in AKRON, OHIO.

HOLD-UP ON SOUTHERN ROBBERS GOT ABOUT $200 Robbery Occurred Near Augusta Where Bandits Left the Train—Large Amount of Money Usually Carried on Train. Augusta, Ga.—Two robbers boarded Southern passenger train No. 17 at Warrenville, S. C., ten miles out, got the drop on Express Messenger Thos. L. Hutto, knocked him- senseless with a piece of rubber hose, pinned his arms behind him, took his keys, threw him into an empty express chest, locked him therein andransacked the car at will. The train makes up at Branchville and carries through express and mail from Charleston and Columbia to Augusta. E. C. Burrell, agent of the Southern Express Company at Augusta, states that the records show that the robbers secured about $200. This is the first time on record that the express has been of such small amount. The average currency express thereon is $2,500 to $10,000. The robbers rode into Augusta and left the train on Broad street, in the center of the city. No one on the train knew of the incident and the robbery was not discovered until the messenger was liberated at the union station, the negro porters who were engaged in unloading the express having located the imprisoned man by his vigorous kicking within the box. SENATOR: GORE URGES PROBE Wants Wholesale and Retail Prices of Commodities, Invested. Washington, D. C.—Senator Gore's resolution directing the committee on finance to conduct an investigation into wholesale and retail prices of commodities was discussed before the senate at some length. Seeking to have the resolution adopted, Mr. Gore said he wished to have statements concerning the extortionate prices of retail dealers fully probed so that the country might know just where the responsibility for high prices rests. That the cotton manufacturers sell their products with an agreement as the price at which they are to be sold at retail was the 'substance of a charge made by Mr. Owen. Demanding proof of this assertion, Senator Gallinger said that what the country is demanding is prompt action on the tariff bill. He added that it had been asserted that the business interests of the country were losing $10,000,000 a day, by the holding up of the tariff bill. Before that was done, in response to an appeal from Mr. Bailey the senate agreed to vote on Mr. Gore's resolution amendment as suggested by Mr. Bailey, so as to require the appointment of a select committee of four republicans and three democratic senators to conduct the investigation asked for, and to a vote of 55 to 29 was requested to the mittee on finance, Senators Bristow, Crawford and La Follette voting no with the democrats. RUSSIAN GENERAL RELEASED. Stoessel, Commander of Port Arthur, Pardoned by Czar. St. Petersburg, Russia—Lieutenant General Anatole M. Stoessel and Rear Admiral Nebogatov have been released from confinement in the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul by order of Emperor Nicholas. The health of both men has been affected by their confinement. General Stoessel was found guilty by court martial of surrendering the fortress of Port Arthur to the Japanese and was serving a sentence of ten years. Nebogatov was sentenced for the same length of time for surrendering to the enemy at the battle of the Sea of Japan. Stoessel began his sentence March 20, 1908, while Nebogatov took up his quarters in the fortress April 15, 1907. The officers had been sentenced to death for having surrendered their commands, but, in view of the extinguishing circumstances their sentences were commuted to ten years imprisonment, which they began serving in 1907. ROOSEVELT HAS FINE TROPHIES Rhinoceros, Six Lions, Two Giraffes and Score of Smaller Animals. Nalrobi, British East Africa—Edmund Heller, one of the zoologists of the Roosevelt expedition, came into Nalrobi with fifty specimens of animal and bird life that are to be collected. The zoo includes one rhinoceros, six lions, two giraffes, twenty smaller kinds of game and a variety of birds. HOT MESSAGE FROM CLARK. Denies He Broke Laws as to Use of Free Transportation Tallahassee, Fla.-Speaker Farris had read to the house of representatives a telegram from Hon. Frank Clark, congressman from Florida, in which he said: "I denounce as unqualifiedly and basely, false any intimidation by legislative committee or other persons that I have violated any law in use of railroad transportation in Florida or elsewhere. I defy these people to institute proceedings here, there or anywhere. If they are honest and have proof, let them proceed. If they have not the proof they are not honest and dare not proceed." BANDITS WRECK TRAIN. Great Northern Passenger Is Held Up Near Spokane, Wash. Spokane, Wash—in a hold-up of the Great Northern passenger train, No. 3, between Colbert and Mead, 12 persons were injured, when the engi- ne and mall car started running down the track by the bandits, after they had riffed the malls, collided with the remaining cars of the train. The bandits detached the engine and mall car from the train, ran down the track a considerable distance and then, after the register- ed mall had been opened, they sent the engine back to collide with the cars standing on the track. The conductor saw the wild cars coming down the track at the rate of 25 miles an hour, when they were a short distance away, and he and one of the trainmen placed a tie on the track in an effort to stop their wild flight. The engine and car were partly stopped by this means, but plunged into the coaches. There was a loud crash, and passengers were thrown from their seats, most of the injured being hurt by glass from the broken windows. When the train reached Colbert, some switching had to be done. While the engine crew was busy at this work, two men suddenly appeared on the engine cab, and thrusting a revolver against the body of Engineer William Miller, ordered him to do as commanded. Two of the robbers then went to the door of the mail car and ordered it opened. Their command was obeyed by Benjamin F. Stumpf, the mail clerk. It is reported that the bandits obtained a large sum of money from the registered mall, the amount being placed at $20,000. Great Northern has offered a reward of $10,000 for each robber captured. PREDICTS HIGH WHEAT PRICES. Wheat King Patton Says Wheat Lands Ace, Raiza Groomed to Death Are Being Cropped to Death. Chicago, Ill.-James A. Patten, the board of trade and member of the Bartlett, Patton & Co., whose operations have received national notice during the last few weeks, reviewed the wheat situation and gave his opinion on the market in an address before the Flour Men's Club of Chicago. "I predict," said he, "that high prices will prevail all over the world for a year to come in wheat and that red winter wheat (soft wheat) will sell as high in America a year from now as it is selling now. "I cannot dwell too strongly on the law of supply and demand and the theory that the production of wheat in the United States has not kept pace with the increase in population, and I want to suggest that the trade each year will have to realize this condition in its future dealings and study from this standpoint. "The wheat lands are being cropped to death. Changes must come or we will suffer the result." STUDYING BATTLEFIELDS. Students of War View Historic Place Around Richmond. Richmond, Va.-The fields of Seven Pines, Fair Oak and Malvern Hill, which were fought over in the seven days' battle in which General McClellan's army was driven back from this city, then the capital of the confederate states, were traversed by the thirti-two student officers from the war college at Washington, who are encamped in Sherwood Park, just outside of Richmond, they will visit Cold Harbor, Mechanicsville, Frayser's Farm, Garnet Mill and other sites whose language is English, whose detachment of thirty-two officers and forty-two cavalry in their light marching order will travel to Lulsa Court House, Trevillans Station and Orange Court House to the theater of Stonewall, Jackson's famous Shenandoah valley campain. Newsy Paragraphs. The state bank of Calro, Nebraska, was dynamited, the vault and building being completely wrecked by three explosions. Every cent of cash was secured and the robbers made their escape on a hand car stolen from a section house. Seven Mexicans in a tent several miles south of Uvalde, Texas, were killed by a terrific hall storm. The storm, which swept a large part of southern Texas, was of unusual fury. The hall stones were the largest ever seen in that section. One man was fatally injured and four others were more or less seriously hurt in New Orleans when the new Bascule trunion bridge at the intersection of Esplanade avenue and Bayou street, snapped while being given a trial preparatory to being turned over to the city. The structure, which cost $50,000, is a practical wreck. Recent dispatches from the Duke of Abruzzi are entirely at variance with published reports of his depressed mental state, and of fears entertained by the rest of the expedition that his despondency will lead to a general disaster. The duke, according to the latest advises, is in the best of health and spirits, and his expedition has moved toward the interior of India without accident of consequence. Charles William Elliot; at the age of 75 has laid aside the robo of office which he has worn with so much honor for forty years as president of the Harvard university, and with characteristic simplicity, stepped back into private life, Abbott Lawrence Lowell assumes the office. PRESIDENT'S WIFE ILL Mrs. Taft Suffers From Nervous Breakdown. COMPLETE REST NEEDED President's Wife Was Taken Ill on Yacht Sylph and Was Hurried Back to the White House. Washington, D. C.—Mrs. Taft, suffering from a slight breakdown, was taken ill while on hqr way from this city to Mount Vernon on the yacht Sylph with a party of friends, and was hurried back to the white house. It was said at the white house that there no cause for harm, and that Mrs. Taft probably will be all right again in a few days. She was unable to be present at an official dinner at the white house. President Taft himself prepared the following statement in regard to Mrs. Taft's condition: "Mrs. Taft is suffering from a slight nervous attack. She attended the Eye and Ear and Throat University, where Charlie Taft underwent a slight operation on his throat. She was with him for several hours. She then started with the president and a small party of friends on the Sylph for Mount Vergon. The excitement, heat and exertion were too much for Mrs. Taft's nerves, and the party was obliged to turn back before reaching Alexandra. Mrs. Taft was quickly to the white house. The doctors say that after a few days of complete rest, Mrs. Taft may be able to resume her social duties. Dr. Delaney is in attendance. Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Taft's sister, acted as-hostess at the official dinner at the white house. HOLLINSWORTH NUZZLED. Foe of Jefferson Davis Riddled by Southern Newspapers. Washington, D. C.-Speaker Cannon muzzled Representative Hollinsworth, the Ohio congressman who has been trying to make a kick because the silver service to be presented to the battleship Mississippi is to bear the likeness of Jefferson Davis. Everybody is now laughing at the Ohioan because he only succeeded in getting into the official record of the proceedings all of the editorial attacks to which he has been subjected as a result of his agitation. Hollinsworth arose to a question of private agent a batch of paper-clipings to the clerk's desk. Most of them were from Mississippi and Louisiana papers, and all of them bitterly assailed Hollinsworth. Each was read, and the house laughed very heartily at all the ugly names applied to the Ohioan. Some of the things Hollinsworth was called in these editorials were "contemptible little whelp;" "political nonenity," "a gas bag," "windy misfit," "an ass of the first magnitude," "a pusillanimous pygmy," "cowardly little cuss, not worth a burrah in hell." After all this had been placed in the record, Speaker Cannon muzzled Hollinsworth. He ruled that he could not speak to a question of privilege, as his official character was not attacked in any of the editorials. Hollinsworth then asked unanimous consent to proceed. Francis Burton Harrison of New York, whose father was Jefferson Davis' secretary, objected, and Hollinsworth was seated. PROSPERITY RETURNING 35,000 Iron Employees to Get 10 Pcr Cent Raise. Pittsburg, Pa.—The announcement is made here that 35,000 employees of iron and steel companies, having headquarters here and in this vicinity, will receive an advance in wages averaging 10 per cent the first of June or the 1st of July. Some of the manufacturers have already posted notices of the increase, and others, it is said, will do so in a few days. The United States Steel Corporation announced that of and increases in wages, but it is said the Jones & Laughlin Steel Company, the Republic Iron and Steel Company, and other independent companies will restore the wages paid prior to the 1st of last April, when a general cut was made. 5.000 BALES OF COTTON DESTROYED. Flames at Fort Smith, Ark., Burn a Large Quantity of Cotton. Fort Smith, Ark.—Fire here destroyed the Fort Smith compress and its contents of 5,000 bales of cotton. The fire is supplied by $300,000 and is covered by insurance. The fire is supposed to have been started by an incoordiary. SOUTH NEEDS TARIFE. Senator Depew Indorizes Statement That Tariff is a Local Issue Washington, D. C. — Republican though he is, Senator Depew of New York, in a speech in the senate, indorsed General Hancock's declaration that the tariff was a local issue. Mr. Depew advocated a duty on petroleum, saying that the majority of the product in this country is produced by independent operators. He declared that if the protection on cotton were removed the manufacturers of the Carolinas and Georgia would be wiped out, and that as regards iron, the same would be true of Alabama, Tennessee and West Virginia. LATE NEWS NOTES. The Standard Oil company announces another five cent reduction in the prices of crude oil, bringing it down to $1.68 per barrel. The orange crop of Cuba this year will be the largest in the history of the island and will reach 500,000 boxes. The business of orange culture in the island is almost entirely in the hands of Americans. Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery of Philadelphia has given out a statement to the effect that there will be presented to the next congress at its opening in December a petition bearing one million names, writing a sixteenth amendment to the constitution, giving women the right to vote. Without any flourish of trumpets Japan has made considerable strides in the matter of alrship building, and while the ufmost secrecy is maintained, there is reason to believe that an inventor of some repute has recently patented improvements that are calculated to startle aerosists all over the world. Arkansas claims to have the largest peach orchard in the world and 1,000 men and three hundred teams are harvesting the crop. The orchard is in Sevier county and has two hundred thousand trees. It covers two thousand eight hundred acres and trees on two thousand acres are bearing. Five hundred freight cars will be used to haul the crop to market. Guglelmox Fererro, the Italian historian, writing in Fligaro, a French newspaper, on the analysis of the American millionaire, calls Carnegie the ideal American Croesus, on account of his generosity. He says that the hostility to Rockefeller grew out of the mystery in which the oll king hid himself. Colonel Roosevelt's relatives have received news that the colonel, besides shooting lions—antelopes, a rhinoceros and a hippopotamus, has captured alive a remarkable animal hitherto unknown. It is described as being something between a zebra and a giraffe. A beef famine is threatened in England on account of the alarming shortage of imports of American and Canadian cattle. The meat dealers are appealing to the government to take the embargo on Argentine cattle Washington. Japan is acting in good faith with the United States in restricting immigration, according to John H. Snodgrass, consul at Kobe, who conferred with the president on conditions in the Orient. He declared that immigration from Japan to the United States has ceased, and that Japan is refusing passports to subjects who wished to come to this country, except those who have business here that requires their presence. Brigadier General Albert L. Mills, who has just arrived at San Francisco from a tour of service in the Philippines, will be assigned to the command of the department of the gulf, with headquarters at Atlanta. This command has been vacant since the departure of Brigadier General Ramsay D. Potts. Mrs. Frank B. Vroman, daughter of General John C. Black, of the civil service commission, has paid $3,000 for the pew next to that occupied by Mrs. William H. Taft in St. John's Episcopal church, Washington. The church officers say this is the highest price ever paid for a pew in that edifice. Major Clarence W. Smith of the New York national guard, is in Washington sounding high government officials on the project of Rodman Wanamaker of New York to have erected a gigantic statue of an American Indian at the entrance to New York banbor as a lasting memorial to "the vanishing race." Colonel James Parker, commander at Fort Oglethorpe, Chickamauga Park, after inspecting the rifle range at Catoosa Springs, Ga., has submitted a report to the war department asking that an additional appropriation be made for the purpose of building an additional backstop behind the line of targets. Secretary Ballinger and the Washington state congressional delegation presented to President Taft a telegraph key mounted on Alaska marble and studded with gold nuggets, with which he will send the signal from Washington opening the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition at Seattle, June 1st. A committee amendment restoring the Dingley duty on umbrellas and increasing the duty on umbrella material has been adopted in the senate. The senate amendment increasing the duty on watches and watch movements, and requiring the name of the foreign manufacturers to appear on watch movements, has also been adopted. The supreme court has reversed the decision against Cello Bellasio & Co., made by the court of claims, who sued for the cost of transportation of wives and children of the Spanish officers who surrendered at Santiago and Manila. They carried the wives and children of the officers as first-class passengers, but the United States claimed that under the contract strictly construed they should have been carried in the steerage. The steamship company will receive a large sum through this decision. "Bill" Jones, who attracted wide interest during the trial of Charles Gulteau, the assassin of President Garfield, by attempting to shoot Gulteau, is on trial charged with the murder of John McPherson, a farm hand on his place near Washington.

It is their fraternal duty to aid their brethren to evade the passport law. If there are six or more members of a ship's company earnestly desirous of concealing a stowaway, the thing can always be done. There are recorded instances where a stowaway has been hunted for three hours by twenty men, after all the officers and crew have been sent ashore, and has re- Masonic Books & Regalias. When the steamship has tied up at her berth in an American port, the fugitive puts on the uniform or overalls of one of his confederates and easily makes his way off the pier. And thus, a seasoned and hardened criminal his blood-stained hands against all the world as the world's hands are against him, is turned loose in the land of the free and the nome of the brave. Every steamship man concerned in the Mediterranean trade knows something of the system; one of them has admitted these facts. It is the theory of the professional policeman of America that the Italian criminal comes to us through France and Canada. That is nonsense; he has neither the intelligence nor the means.

He makes his way to this address as quickly as he may. He is without work and in a strange country. It may be that happy chance will find honest work for him at once. But usually it is not so. He becomes, more likely, a willing and useful tool of the Black Hand, a dependent on the generosity of more thoroughly acclimated criminals. The stealthy delivery of blackmailing letters, the stabbings, the bomb plantings, and even the murders of the Black Hand type are done by men who are so ignorant and so helpless that they face starvation if they do not carry out the orders of the Black Hand thugs who house and feed them after their surreptitious entry into the United States.—Everybody's.

This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has complied with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens. Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business.

From early morning until late at night these loafers are to be seen. This class makes up the criminal record of the city. A few southern Congressmen made a great howl about the dining of Register Vernon and a few of his friends in the Congressional restaurant. The howl amounted to naught. In that dining-room no discrimination is permitted. COMMENDATION is extended Florida for the wisdom displayed by its legislature in refusing to add that state to Georgia and other states that have enacted the iniquitous disfranchisement bill. Our white friends in Florida have no fear of "Negro domination." DURING the past two weeks we have had appeals from a number of worthy young girls to assist them in securing employment of some kind. This speaks volumes. We have always contended that if we had more business enterprises, or if our people would give unstinted support to the ones we now have, there would naturally be openings for many of these young ladies. Ir required two white men to assault a frail colored woman in the south side the other night, one of the men even used a stick on the unfortunate woman. If our readers could only picture in their minds the reversal of this as to color, the headlines of the daily papers would have been emblasoned, and no doubt a lynch party would have been formed. THE white firemen on the Georgia railroad are on a strike on account of the employing of colored firemen. The strikers are appealing to the business men for sympathy as against the colored men. On this question the business men should keep quiet for no class is more loyal to the business interests than the colored laborer. The railroad has as much right to give them employment as the members of any other race. Commencement season. Commencement Season. Yesterday marked the beginning of the commencement period at Atlanta University. To-morrow the baccalaureate sermon will be preached and on Thursday the commencement exercises takes place.

Special arrangements have been made for the accommodation of all visitors, and probably a great many people will take advantage of this opportunity to visit the Institution. Open, round trip, reduced railroad rates can be secured to reach Tuskegee during Commencement. Deserves Commendation. Mr. Oliver deserves" commendation for his work in the McRae case—The Tribune. The expression above quoted is indeed timely, and that, coupled with the expressions of our fellow townsmans and distinguished citizen, Lawyer Oliver, themselves, should be considered very encouraging. In the light of the actual situation to our manhood right, it is very significant that souls of influence and power are touched and their tongues speak out for justice. There are men who would face belching cannons. There are those who would "beard the lion in his den." In fact the majority of men would face eminent danger, were they armed with the authority of law. But few men there are, by way of comparison, who would face public opinion, when public opinion is wrought up by acts revolting, if right. Hence, he who does it, fearless of the force of foe, and uninfluenced by the fervor if friend, he, it is, "in whom the elements of nature are so combined" that all men will hasten to call him great. We, as a race, should not forget those who serve us well, by their contentions for justice and equity before the law. Though their efforts may not bring to us individual aid, and though such contentions have no bearing whatever, towards us as a race, if said contentions be for "justice towards all men and special privileges to none," we should applaud them, because each of such efforts is a stepping stone, leading to an unbiased fulfillment of the law. It is said that everything that is right is not expedient. This may be true and in many cases its truth is unimpeachable. But in cases where the law of the land establishes the fact, expedition would be cowardice, into the mire of which stalwart manhood would dread to fall. It is never expedient to yield to unfounded whims when yielding would be an admission of the strength of mere sentiment as against law. Although men who do their duties well, do not crave praise for their performance, nevertheless, we should hasten to contribute our mite of praise and congratulation even against their will. Commendation for valiant service done assures the door that men are not like "dumb driven cattle;" but are awake and alive to the achievements of the great ones among them. The laws of our land are just and those whose duty it is to execute them, we assume, are just in the performance of their duties as they see them. But we do not always see rightly for the "beam" of prejudice innate or cultivated, obsures the vision and our acts are based upon the facts as we see them by means of-this imperfect vision. Before it; right oftimes looms up, but is mistakeeu for wrong. The reverse is also true. But withal, the effort put forth by Lawyer Oliver in the McRac trial, and the fearless and impartial decorations he uttered, stand out alone in this period of pressure. If the "woodman is famous as he lifts his ax among the trees" then this one act attaches fame to this lawyer. Not because the words spoken had bearing upon a Negro pre-doomed to the gallows, but rather because his efforts, words and worth were for the equitable administration of the law to white man and black man alike. His contentions were based upon law and the righteousness thereof brought forward the acquiescence of the court. Let us pay homage to those to whom it is due. Let us not withhold our breath and fail to show thankfulness in cases where effort is spent to have the law enforced, according to its righteous signification. ROY REGINAL. A Timely Advice to Parents. Now as the end of the school year is coming nearer, some careless parents are inclined to *keep* their *children* from school and to *let them* "run and play" this is certainly a great mistake; it not only disturbs the good order of the school but it also is the cause of serious, annoyage for our teachers and of a great disadvantage for our children. During the last weeks of school term, real practical work is being done in a good school as the different subjects seen during the rest of the year are gone through again; and the child will grasp much better many questions when were halt myterious for it when it saw them for the first time. In many schools, the final examinations take place at the end of the school year, if the children miss those examinations, how can the teachers judge whether their pupils are able to go to higher grades next year? The vacation time is amply sufficient for the complete recuperation of the children's heart and strength. It is wrong to obey a child even of a part of the great blessing of a good teacher. Every day, nay, every our counts in the imparting of knowledge to the little ones. May I ask you dear Editor, to insist in your valuable paper on this important point both for parents and children. Parents keep your children in school until it closes. Do it as a mark of appreciation to the teachers; do it, for the benefit of your children, whom, you love and whose welfare you have at heart. Joseph A. Dahlent As Pastor of St. Benedict's Church. St. Mary's Dots. The Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth had their annual sermon preached at the A. M. E. Church Sunday May 9th.

Washington returned home on Wednesday last after spending two weeks very pleasantly in St. Marys. Prof. J. M.

On Sunday afternoon May 2nd, the students assembled at the M. E. Church to hear the annual sermon delivered by Rev. E. J. Kimball. The preacher was at his best and gave us the word in its simplest form. The church was beautifully decorated and long before the time, was crowded with patrons and friends. Despite the bad weather on Monday night a large crowd was present at the A. M. E. Church. They were royally entertained by the students. A very interesting program had been arranged which reflected great credit to both teachers and pupils. Mr. R. L. Davia of Brunswick, Ga., made a short address in which he complimented the teachers and pupils for the excellent program rendered. Much credit is due Mrs. Lilla Holzendorf, the music teacher for the efficient service rendered, also the ladies who assisted her in decorating the churches. We also thank Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Bell for the aid they have given our school this year. On Tuesday the boys of St. M. H.

J B Miller pastor of First Macedonia Baptist Church filled the pulpit. At the 11 o'clock service his text was from the 59th and 60th verses of the 119th Division Psalm of David, and at the evening service from Hebrew 11:1. Both sermons were received by the many that were present with much enthusiasm and reflected much credit on Rev. Miller, one of our own sons, and yet young in the ministry. The pastor, Rev. W L Jones, made a flying trip to Charleston, S. C., on last Saturday to be present with Rev. R Kemp on Sunday and to preach at his new church's dedication. He reports very favorably the good work that, Rev. Kemp, formally of this city, is doing in Charleston. Much business was cleared away at the monthly conference on Monday night with cool and harmonious deliberations. Brother Ben Arnwright preached his trial sermon on Tuesday night from Revelation 5:4. When the time is right for the church to pass on, his ability for the ministry the success of his first sermon will count much. The converts club is pressing forward to a goal.

The ladies were well spoken of in Mrs Crawford's paper, Vice Grand Chief, Fergerson, with a fine impromptu speech introduced Grand Sir Williams, the V G led the ode of the order which was sung with much earnestness. The Grand Sir spoke on the "Genius of Success." His words will be remembered long after he has left us.

Master of ceremonies, F Cain, introduced Rev Wemin in a few words as he said the Rev needed no introduction. Rev Wright thanked them for the honor bestowed upon him. In a few well chosen words, he bade them welcome. His text was from Luke 10:36-37. Subject "Go and do likewise."

The choir with Mr. G W Heyward choreist and Mrs. E Dennis, organist, rendes fine music at every service.

Do not forget our large baptism Sunday at 12 o'clock. Communion at 4 p.m. St. Philip Dots.

He is today the greatest churchman living. The choir and congregation sang hymn "From every stormy wind that blows." Bishop Turner's text was "the weakness of the law sacrifice." The Blis hop dwelt upon the great subject at length and showed his hearers that good things are in store but only the hand of man has not reached out to find them. At 3 p.m. bishop Turner spoke to the Sunday school. At 8 p.m. Rev Lindsay delivered a special sermon to the Ladies and Gentlemen Society of the World numbering some two hundred.

On last Saturday evening the Williams' building, West Broad street, corner Minis, was besittingly dedicated by the agents of the Georgia Mutual Industrial Life and Health Insurance Co., of Augusta, Ga. The program was as follows: Opening remarks by Mr. Joe S. Daniels, Jr. Paper, "Back balance in Insurance," Mr. Wm. Stevens; "General collection," Mr. M. Dickerson; Vocal solo, Mr. W. Howard; "General appearance," Mr. G. Cohen; Paper, "New business in Insurance," Mr. H. D. Brown; "The Negro's Progress" by General Superintendent, H. T. Singleton. Refreshments. During the erection of this three story brick building, which will be used solely for business purposes, it has been the subject of much favorable comment by the public. During various discussions much compliment was paid to Mr. G. S. Williams, the owner of the building. Flattering comments were also paid by Mr. W. H. Brown, the architect and contractor. The program was very interesting and the papers full of thoughts, especially the one read by the general superintendent, on "The Negro's Progress." We went through the entire building last week and noted its modern construction. The rooms on the second and third floors are well arranged, lighted and ventilated. Prospective tenants will not be able to find any fault whatever along this line. Mr. Williams is to commended for this enterprise. Contractor Brown has also added to his reputation as an architect and builder. Fire Destroyed a Colored Mission. The sad news reached St Benedict's Rectory that one of the country Missions belonging to the African Mission Society has been destroyed by fire. About Christmas Rev Martin Pfleger left Sayannah in order to start a little Mission at Hatcher's Station in the south western district of Georgia. A generous white lady had offered to him a nice piece of land on her immense plantation. The good priest had worked hard during six months to erect a nice school, with which he had connected a sanctuary, so that the whole building might be used for church services on Sundays. The building was nearly dismished and ready for dedication, when a fire destroyed it a few days ago. It is not known how this fire originated. Happily the building was partly insured; but the loss of the furniture, the benches and the altar was pretty considerable. Father Pfleger will begin his work again and he hopes to have his school ready for next October. Men Sunday Club The meeting at the M. S. C. on last Sunday was very interesting. Dr. Lloyd introduced the subject of "Negro Education in Chatham County." and it was proved according to statistics gathered by the state school commissioner of North Carolina and from other sources, that the Negro of Georgia do not get school facilities to the amount of taxes they pay It was the sentiment of the meeting that another school could be secured foa the colored people if the proper steps were taken. The club also voted to give something tangible for the purchase of a lot for school purposes A committee also was appointed to confer with the committee of citizens to appear before the Board of Education; those appointed were Dr. J. W. Williams, Prof. J. W. On tomorrow there will be a musical program and the subject for discussion will be the "Negro in politics—should he be a Republican or Democrat and why?"

The best time to market any kind of stock, for the most profit — Fruit producer is at the age when it cost the least per pound to produce Plants Potatoes in Fall. A rather interesting plan of potato culture is practiced by an English specialist named Vincent. His most surprising departure is planting the seed in the fall. This simulator this method that the crop is earlier and brings a much higher return per acre. Approfit of $300 per acre has been claimed for early potatoes planted in autumn and otherwise cultivated in the regular way—American Cultivator. When eggs are sufficiently preserved for two or three months they keep very well packed in dry salt or bran. The meat of the egg may shink and rattle within the shell when shaken, but its edibility is not impaired. Coating the egg with vaseline or butter will also keep it for a short time, or any application which effectively seals the pores of the shell and excludes air will prolong the freshness of eggs. If the egg is even momentarily submerged in boiling water, the albumen thereby becomes sufficiently coagulated to prevent the entrance of air. In some of the rural districts in England and Scotland eggs for home consumption are smutted over with a mixture of sulphur and lampblack, a cheap and effective preservative. But the lime water mixture is best for general purposes. American Cultivator. The modern silo. The silo is doubtless the greatest of modern institutions in connection with dugging. It is simply a modification and elaboration of the old potato or cabbage pit, and in fact the first silos were pits. What has probably deterred the modern silo from coming into universal use is, the rather prevalent idea among farmers, that it requires a great amount of skill and experience to ensure success, and that the silo of to-day is much further removed from the old pit than the reality. Experience, however, points to the fact that so long as the crop is cut at the right stage and put together with ordinary care, be it in stack, pit, or over ground silo—chaffed or unchaffed—success must result: the amount of waste being universally proportionate to the amount of care exercised. It is quite natural that being a new thing to many, and having heard reports of failures farmers have in the past not be in doubt that some by attempting to enslave them, but now with silos scattered all over the country, in every district, it is easy for them to see for themselves. As to the merits of any particular method or any particular structure of silo, opinions are varied. Each, doubtless, has something to recommend it, and only a man's particular conditions and requirements can determine for him the most suitable plan. The literature on silo construction of the Department of Agriculture which will be sent an application will furnish some useful suggestions.—American Cultivator. Why Trees Fail to Grow Most noticeably fact that a very large percentage of the trees planted each year in different parts of the country fail to grow. That this loss is larger than necessary is certain and the causes fruit are well worth looking into. Generally, the blame is placed on the nurseryman and the quality of the trees. In some cases the blanks just rightly placed, but in most instances it lies elsewhere. We may look for the cause in a number of different directions. Trees are subjected to more or less hardship between the time they are standing in the nursery rows and the time they are again set in the ground. Tracting the history of the free through the several steps in its digging and trampling, we find that it may have been injured or broken in digging. After removal from the ground it may have received more dirt and hot sun than was good for it. That trees may have been packed too wet or too dry, or the materials, used may have decomposed and given off heat to the injury of the trees. The transportation company headless of the nature of their cargo, may have blided it against hot pipes, near a smokey stack, or too near a stove. It may have been delayed in transport, when there is danger of this, the nurseryman should see to it that the trees are packed to stand delayed if they are lined with connedered. On arrival the purchaser may neglect them, the too may leave the trees exposed to the elements, in planting may have unduly exposed the roots to drying sun and wind. But by far the greatest cause of loss lies in the work of planting. When the nurseryman dig the tree he lifts about three quarters of its roots in the soil. The tops must, therefore, be not bark hard. The tree should be set in the same depth as in the nursery row. The tree should not set in soil that is too wet or too dry. If dry water should be set in planting, a brunched or more per tree when the hole is three quarters of the way filled up. Last and most important of all, the earth should be packed tight around the roots by hand. Tight packing is the key to successful planting.—Fruit and Nut Journal Marketing Cattle. The best time to market any kind of stock for the most profit to the producer is at the age when it will cost the least per pound to produce it. The steer to be sold at the greatest profit would probably be at about fourteen months old. But in order to make this profitable there should be no time lost in set-backs by letting up in the feed. The calf should come about with the grass, grazing and always have access to the grass and about all the milk from its dam it will take until at least four months old. In addition it should have a grain ration of some kind, not too much but enough so that it will always be ready for its feed. You can teach a calf to eat shelled corn about the easiest of anything else, but ground oats or wheat can be better bone-maker. Be careful to never overfeed. Good grass is nature's great producer of cattle. When time for winter feed use clover hay and ground oats through the winter until grass begins to be fit for use; then finish with pure corn meal, ground very fine. About the first of June they should weigh about eight or nine hundred pounds and bring about five cents per pound—that is from forty to fifty dollars per head, without any extra expense of keeping up large growth carcass for one whole year for a little more gain in weight. The keeping alone this second year will require more feed than you have used in making the finished product of the first fourteen months. Besides the price up to the first of June when grass cattle begin to go to market is always good. Now suppose you have been able to make this steer bring you forty-five dollars (which is reasonable), that would be, about ninety bushels of corn that he would buy, which of course looks like a good trade, while to finish one of the two or three year old steers will take about sixty bushels of corn alone, not counting his keep up to the litle of beginning, which is about nine months full feed with grass, or hay. J. G. H., in the American Cultivator. A Mixed Flock. In the mixed flock of the mongrel type, especially, and in a greater or less degree in all flocks, is there a difference in size or sustaining qualities among the fowls. Frequently where all are fed together some few will, be crowded back and, get little of the feed. Chickens are even more hoggish than hogs in feeding, and the individual of under-size stands little chance. As it gets less food, it is every time losing instead of gaining ground over its rivals, and shortly falls prey to seeming disease when it is simply crowded out. Where more than one rooster is wintered, we may think that all is going right, because we see no signs of fighting, when the fact is that one is kept away in some inaccessible spot and only steals a little food on penalty of its life. Watch if two or more are kept together, as is usually the case on the farm, that each gets its share. If they cannot live in peace, separate them in some way, even if one must go to the block. It often happens that the runt pig thrivers when removed, tq quarters where its previous disability is removed, and there are in flocks of varying ages similar cases. This is a most emphatic reason why the flock should be carefully culled and only a uniform retention of the fittest be allowed. Fowls speedily discover any weakness or defect in a companion, and are equally quick in taking advantage of it. The injuries resulting from this may not be especially noticeable, when the fowls, are running at large, but with the confinement necessary at this season it cannot but be damaging to the weaker individuals. If it is not practicable to make the further separation one would wish, at least stay by during the eating process; take pains to scatter a part of the food in some corner where the weaker birds will be protected; they will soon learn the favored point and ayall themselves of the advantage. If there is not room for all at the drinking fountain, enlarge it or provide a second. The feed box should be likewise enlarged. Here the dry mash has the advantage. If the wet mash is fed, in the usual way the fastest caters get more than their share; but with the dry feed, and the hopper system there is still room for the latter comers. Feather pulling is another abomination which is often forced upon the innocent fowls, more frequently starting through the idleness or rather enforced, inactivity of companions than as a positive vice. If there is an abundance of scratching material provided, there will be less inducement for any to sit around, like pupils unemployed, studying mischief. Then there are those which were late mounting their discarded plumage but a nuisance to both owner and the fowls that have properly mounted, their rough feathers a temptation to feather pulling. These should have blood chilled, and it is better late than never. Keep the best for your own use, and for the good, of the flock, aim for uniformity not only in breed, but in constitution, and vigor. - Besse L. Putnam, the American Cultivator. Horso Meat. In Paris last year 40,293 horses were killed for food, which was 5,000 more than the previous year. These animals yielded $600,000 pounds of meat for human consumption. K Theology and Science.

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to chloroform an injured cat or dog, whose place is it to pay for the anaesthetic? That is a question that arises very often in this town. Every day cats and dogs whose natural agility was not sufficient to keep them out of the way of automobiles and delivery wagons are mercifully dispatched by humane citizens. Sometimes the policeman who is called in carries the injured animal to a vacant lot and shoots it, but usually out of consideration for public safety, the chloroform route is chosen. In that case the question is, "Who shall buy the chloroform?" Simple-minded bystanders expect the policeman to buy it, but he rarely lives up to their expectations. "That animal isn't hurt, shy, is what he usually says. 'It don't need no chloroform. It'll be triskin' around like anything in a few minutes. Anyhow, it's best to notify the S. P. C. A." The sympathetic crowd, however, thinks the poor creature ought to be put out of its suffering at once, and sometimes a particularly affluent person contributes the required amount to buy the drug. In case the affluent humanitarian is conspicuous by his absence, the money is obtained by taking up a collection. Then there always is criticolum, the smallest subscriber usually wanting to know what the S. P. C. A. is for anyway, and what it does, with all the money it gets.—New York Times. LIGHT BOOZE Do You Drink It? A minister's wife had quite a tussle with coffee, and her experience is interesting. She says: "During the two years of my training as a nurse, while on right duty, I became addicted to coffee drinking. Between midnight and four in the morning, when the patients were asleep, there was little to do except make the rounds, and it was quite natural that I should, want a good, hot cup of coffee about that time. It stimulated me, and I could keep awake, better." "After three or four years of coffee drinking I became a nervous wreck, and thought that I simply could not live without my coffee. All this time I was subject to frequent biting attacks, sometimes so severe as to keep me in bed for several days." "After Being married, Humband begged me to leave off coffee, for he feared, that it had already hurt me almost beyond repair, so I resolved to make an effort to release myself from the hurtful habit. "I began taking Postum, and for a few days, felt the languid, tinged feeling from the lack of the stimulant, but I liked the title of Postum, and that answered for the breakfast beverage all right. "Finally I began to feel, clearer headed and had steadier nerves. After a year's use of Postum, I now feel like a new woman—have not had any billions attacks since I left off coffee." There's a Reason. Read "The, Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Ever read the above letter? I new one, appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. God alone has absolute, power to create. He might have retained this power forever. He chose rather to confer infinite honor and infinite responsibility to man by defending, to him the power to recreate. This power to perpetuate the race, as a subcreator, and to be a direct factor in determining his character and destiny, is divine. Its exercise in fatherhood is among the most sacred functions of existence. In this life alone its results for good or evil are beyond computation. Considered by the standard of an endless life, they are overwhelming. Were there not unknown possibilities for good results, in each experience, of parenthood, no man, an understanding what it might could venture to assume fatherhood. Much the larger share of human suffering comes through impaired physical health. Weakness and disease make men a burden on society, lead to poverty, drunkenness, social impurity, farcey and kindred evil. No man is free from guilt who transmits a single element of physical weakness or disease which he can avoid. The habitual use of stimulants and narcotics destroys nerve force and mental balance. Their effects are often more prominent in the second and the third generations than in those who first indulge. Purity in thought and act is an imperative demand which the sacredness of actual or possible fatherhood places on all men. In assuming fatherhood you are acting for God; exercising the holiest function ever given you. If a man goes out as the agent of a business firm, or the representative of a great nation, he must be loyal to the power which commissions him, and in whose name he acts. How much more when a man assumes fatherhood, in behalf of the infinite and eternal Father; when God gives him the power to transmit the tendency to love Him. Such a man must rather transmit the tendency to hate and disobey God; for which he, not his child, is responsible. This stupendous fact lies at the core of all true religion. The husband has to bear little of the passive service and continuous burdens which: attend, parenthood. The wife has an absolute right-to-all the help which pure love, egalitarian patience and tenderest sympathy can afford. This is due to the child also, who must suffer loss in proportion as these are withheld from the mother. If any husband denies these, or worse still, gives, in place of them, indifference, neglect, harshness or abuse, he becomes a shame to the name of fatherhood, a disgrace to his sex, an enemy to his own child, and a sinner before God. Healing of the Mind. I know a man who, though busily and extensively engaged in Christian service, was for long defeated in his thought life. The evil word and act were checked, but he could not prevent his thoughts from ranging over the land. He was brought into inyard bondage and despair. One night, at the close of a service, as the congregation sang the well known words: O 'Lamb of God, I come—" the thought broke upon him, and he saw that what he needed most of all was such "healing of the mind" as that unto which Christ pledges Himself. Falling upon his knees he cried as he had never done before: "O 'Lamb of God, I come!" And his testimony is 'that Christ brought him that night into an attitude of new surrender and enabled him to exercise new faith, calming this promise which has constantly been fulfilled to him: "The peace of God shall guard your heart and your thoughts!"—J. Stuart Holden. Herald Blasts. Never-borrow money—the chances are you can't. Never-run your neighbor down—he may hent you at the games. If you are living in the Lord your neighbors will rejoice in your life. Some men never pay any complements. They are too stingy even for that. A gentleman is never more polite to another woman than to his own wife. The way of nature is the survival of the strong; the way of grace is the salvation of the weak. There is little to choose between those who, blow themselves in and those who blow themselves out. The man who practices, what he preaches, before he preaches it, shall experience no difficulty in getting others to practice what he preaches. Birds, fling, flowers bloom, zephyrs blow—all mature smiles—for the sole purpose of keeping, in good humor, and still some old rascals refuse to be happy—Home Herald. Glorious Gift of Life Life, despite of all that oxynes or sentimentalists, ssa, is a great and glorious gift. There is good for the good; there is virtue for the faithful; there is victory, for the yallant. There is spirituality for the spiritual, and there is, even in this humble life, an infinity for the boundless, in desire. There are blessings upon its birth; there is hope in its death, and there is—to consummate all—there is eternity, in its prospect.—Orville Dewey. Bind Yourself to God. I thank Thee, O God, that I may strive to do Thy work in the world even when my heart is dry. I thank Thee that I may bind myself to Thee, even while I am crushed by my sins and shortcomings; that even when I doubt whether the love of God is in me, I may yet press nearer to Thee where only the heart can find rest. Rest in the Lord. Thou, O God, hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is恳挚, until it rests in Thee.—St. Augustina.

Typical New Yorkish An old woman, rusty of corn, and white of hair, got on a crowded Fifth Avenue elevated rihroad train in Brooklyn. As far as the eye could reach, male persons were hidden outspread newspapers. Halfway down the car a young woman arose and came downmathside. There was no mistaking what she was. She belonged to that class of women, which, as styled, the unfortunate class by the charitably disposed and got a sharer dame, from those who still stand for the use of the Scarlet Letter, she ledged her man through the empire, with a backward look, which prevented an easy person from claiming her empty seat. "Won't you take my seat?" she said, with a charming smile and the poor old woman in the rusty, grown looked up at her, and thanked her with a smile that thanked the meager old face, and hobbled to this seat. The newspaper-hidden male person covered closer, than, even, behind them hiding places. A young man, on the other side of the car got up, with an alight flush and somewhat of a shame, faced look. "I've got tired of giving up my seat to women who don't thank you, because I don't think they're ladies," he said, tipping his hat, and I don't do it any more, but I think you deserve it.

Who shall be first out of bed in the morning to shut up the kitchen fire? This knotty problem has caused innumerable family squabbles between wife and husband. Each insists that A the other shall do it, while both desire to take another wink before arising, especially if the thermometer hovers around the zero mark. Both can now be relieved of this disagreeable but nevertheless essential task by equipping the range with an automatic apparatus invented and patented by a Texas man. The construction and operation of this apparatus is shown in the accompanying illustration. It is connected to a small clock, the latter being set to the hour when it is desired to bring up the fire. At the prearranged moment a spring releases a balance weight, pulling a chain attached to the lever controlling the draft. The latter is thus opened, causing the fire to come up and be ready for cooking when the housewife reaches the kitchen. The apparatus is also arranged to kindle a new fire should such be wanted. A number of matches are secured to a plate in front of the open grate. When the lever is released the matches are caused to ignite, the flame reaching the paper in position in the range. A well known London physician was invited out to the country for some shooting, but, although he tried several times he could not hit a single rabbit. "I'm very unlucky," he exclaimed.

With his wife he had been to the home of a neighbor, and on returning home about 9 o'clock a bird flew in his face, striking his eye. The bird's bill passed entirely through the eyeball, totally destroying the sight. It is thought that it was attracted by the lantern carried by Strawn, and when in close contact with the man was blinded. He did not capture the bird, but thinks it was a whippoorwill.—Loogootee Correspondence Indianapolis News. Convenient For Rural Postman. $ ^{1} $ A man in Alabama has earned the gratitude of the postmen of the rural free delivery system by inventing a letter-box support which obviates the necessity of their leaving their wagons at every house. This not only saves the postman an hour or two a day and a great deal of trouble, but enables him to cover a larger territory. The contrivance is simply a letter-box mounted on a pair of lazytong levers, the other end of which is to be fastened to a post along the 15 roadside. When the farmer gets his mail he extends the tongs to their full length so that the box is within reach of the postman's wagon. The latter drops the mail into it, and gives it a push which sends it back to the post again.

With the exception of cotton, Georgia crops are in fine condition, according to Commissioner Thomas G. Hudson of the state department of agriculture, who has returned from an extended visit through the middle and southern sections of the state. Commissioner Hudson states that the condition of the oat crop is exceptionally good. Corn is also growing well. The cotton crop, however, will be short and late, according to the commissioner.

Tinsley, appeared before the county commissioners and asked for an appropriation of $80,000 for the running expenses of another scholastic year.

The increase in attendance has made it necessary to add a number of teachers and a number of new school buildings have been erected. R. H. Burton, who is serving a sentence of twelve years in the penitentiary for killing his nineteen-year-old son, Jesse Burton, in Columbus in 1903, was pardoned by Governor Smith. Burton was convicted of manslaughter and has served five years of his sentence. The prison commission declined to recommend a pardon, but the governor took a different view of the case. The state court of appeals decided that a municipality may prescribe stringent regulations for the sale of near-beer, but cannot prescribe such regulations as shall be prohibitory. Two decisions were handed down, against the city of Waycross and against the city of Thomasville. It was decided that the Waycross ordinance governing the sale of near-beer is invalid because the regulations prescribed are so stringent that no one could possibly comply with them, amounting to the prohibition of the sale of near-beer. By organizing the Georgia State Game Protective association and by agreeing on a game bill to be presented to the next session of the legislature, the sportsmen of Georgia, assembled some forty or fifty strong in Atlanta made the first concerted move toward game protection in Georgia. Charles L. Davis, of Warm Springs, was elected the president of the association and it was left to him to appoint the secretary and the members of the executive committee, of which there are to be two from the state at large and one from each of the eleven congressional districts. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Davis and Henry A. Tarry of Dougherty county, and was selected temporary chairman and Marshall Andrews of Muscogee county as temporary secretary. Mr. Davis then addressed the meeting, explaining what had been done and what was yet to be done to secure game protection in Georgia. He outlined the provisions of the proposed law, chief of which are the prohibition of the sale of game, prohibition of the hunting on the land of others without written permission and a system of licenses for shooting which shall provide enough money to make the game commissioner's office self-supporting. After the election of officers and the transaction of other business, the meeting took up the proposed game law and discussed it fully. The passage of this law will be urged upon the next legislature by the new Game Protective association. In reply to letters sent the members of the Atlanta chamber of commerce asking for suggestions, Attorney Charles J. Haden offers the suggestion that the chamber not only advertise Atlanta to the world, but take steps to set forth the advantages of the rest of the state. Mr. Haden takes the position that since Atlanta must draw from the rest of the state, she must aid in bringing money to it. He suggests some method of publicity which would bring the resources of the state to the attention of outsiders. He tells how this has been done in Texas and the southwest, where irrigation is necessary to bring the land into productiveness. In south and southwest Georgia, he says, lands are lying idle or are not producing to their capacity because outside capital does not know about them. Those lands have plenty of rainfall, and produce everything that those out west do. Governor Smith received a letter detailing an unusual instance of heroism. During the recent tornado which swept portions of the South, Ada' Price, 15 years old, living near Bowden, Ga., found her mother dead under the ruins of her home and her father alive but pinned beneath wreckage. With an axe the girl worked till her strength seemed spent, only to uncover a large rock too heavy for her to lift and which held her father's arm immovable. The father ordered the girl to chop his arm as the only hope of saving his life. She refused and with torn hands continued to pry and tug at the rock until his father was liberated. The letter to Governor Smith asks for directions as to how to apply for a Carnegie hero medal for the girl. Work on the railroad from Modoc, S C., to Ring Jaw shoals, is progressing very rapidly.

The suit was brought for one of the wild animal shows visiting here this winter and the case has drawn three or four lawyers of reputation on each side into the fight. Appointment of Oscar S. Straus Pleases Cotton Seed Crushers. Atlanta, Ga.—The Cotton Seed crushers of the south are enthusiastic over the appointment of former Secretary of Commerce and Labor Oscar S. Straus, as ambassador to Turkey. Mr. Straus, it is recalled, is a native Georgian, and knows the needs and possibilities of this section better than any man who has held a cabinet post or ambassadorial for the past few years. It was while he was secretary of commerce and labor that the post of special agent to investigate the European markets for cotton seed products was established, and a Georgian, J. Lovic Benton, of Monticello, Ga., was first given this assignment. This place is now held by Julian Brode, of Memphis, Tenn., who was appointed in March upon the recommendation of the executive committee of the Cotton Seed Crushers' association, and has gone to Constantinople to take up his duties there. The Ottoman Empire, on account of its Mohammedan religion, it is believed, will become a great consumer of cotton seed oil compound to be used as a shortening, as their religious belief prevents them from using hog lard. The national council of commerce, which was organized under the direction of Mr. Straus, through its executive committee, is planning a dinner to Mr. Straus before his departure abroad. Invitations to this dinner have been received in Atlanta, Macon, Savannah, Augusta, Athens and other cities in the state where commercial bodies are affiliated with this organization and each is expected to be represented. Many Compositions on Cotton Seed Products Have Been Sent in. Atlanta, Ga.-From every county in the state county school commissioners are sending to State School Commissioner Jere M. Pound their selection of the best composition written in that county on "Cotton Seed Products As a Human, Animal and Plant Food," which is the subject selected this year by the Cotton Seed Crushers association of Georgia for their annual composition contest. To give stimuli to the contest, which will then open to the school children of the state since February this association, through Secretary Fielding Wallace, the chairman of the publicity committee, has offered $100 in gold to be divided into four prizes of $50, $25, $15 and $10 for the four best compositions. Each county is allowed to enter only one composition from all these written in that county and passed upon by the county school commissioner, and no composition is to be over seven hundred and fifty words in length. These compositions are to be in the hands of Commissioner Pound not later than May 10. None will be received after that day. He Will select his choice of four and will then turn the entries over to State Chemist R. E. Stallings, who is to make his selection of four. They are then to be sent to Dr. A. M. Soule, president of the State Agricultural College at Athens, who is to make his selection. The judges are then to get together and pick out the four prize winners from the twelve best. These prize winners will be announced at the annual meeting of the Georgia association, which is to be held this year, as usual, at Atlantic Beach, Fla., and the checks for the prizes in gold will be sent out then. Commissioner Pound has written to each of the county commissioners, urging their co-operation In this contest, and it is estimated several thousand compositions on this contest have already been written and passed upon in the state.

WRIGHTS, "KINGS OF THE AIR," RECEIVED A ROYAL WELCOME HOME New York City.—Wilbur and Orville Wright, titled by the French "Kings of the Air," received a truly royal greeting on their return to their native country after their history making achievements abroad as aeroplanists. Their sister, Katherine, bubbling over with enthusiasm, came back with equal honors with her brothers, for she made several flights as a pioneer of her sex in aviation. The brothers and sister, while the most notable group in the ship's company of the Kronprinzessin Cecilia, were at the same time the most unassuming—the brothers almost timid in the noisy demonstration in their honor, and looking as though they craved the aid of the "magic carpet" which they have called into being out of the realms of fancy to fly away. Flying, and not talking; is the forte of the Wright brothers, and what they had to say was persuaded out of them by the insistence of their questioners. But that was more than they have ever said before, and gives a clear idea of their hopes, their plans and the field of the aeroplane as they know it at present. It is adapted to special uses, and not to regular passenger or freight service. It is a vehicle for short trips in quick time. It is a pleasure car for those who like the thrill. About six of the machines have been used by wealthy private citizens, mostly in Europe. The cost is $7500. The largest flying machine yet built by the Wrights carries two persons and has stayed in the air two hours and twenty-seven minutes, flying 127 kilometers (seventy-five miles). Powerful Engine of Modern War. Mr. Wright says that machines will be built soon that will carry fourteen or fifteen persons. He does not anticlimate any machine will cross the ocean in the lifetime of any one now living. The governments of Europe are deeply interested in the Wright aeroplane, and several of them will adopt it. The European powers are not bothering with pleasure vehicles, and therefore they must see in the aeroplane some other use to which it can be adapted. Military experts of Europe claim that if the aeroplane can attain a height of 1000 feet it will be safe from rifle fire, the one mode of attack or defense to be feared. Wilbur Wright said that he expected to demonstrate that his aeroplane could safely be driven at a much greater height than 1000 feet. Therein the secret of the tremendous interest shown by foreign governments through their military experts is found. The net result of the trip abroad of the Wright brothers and the successful flights of Wilbur is that the most powerful aircraft ever known is now out of the experimental stage and ready to obliterate frontier lines the world over. Wilbur Wright, who has solved the problem of aerial navigation by means of a heavier-than-air machine, is the type of man who accomplishes things. Tall as the average man, rather loosely put together, but in the easy, frictionless manner that denotes the tireless human machine, he carries no superfluous weight in his body. His face, slightly tanned to the tint of perfect health, is firm, oval, but rather sharply drawn. The eyes are deep set and clear seeing. No lines have yet appeared in the face, except two ever-changing half circles on either side of his firm mouth, which give expression when he is talking, for his lips hardly appear to move. His voice is low pitched and modulated to a tone that makes it barely audible two feet away. "Aeroplane Will Make a Field For Itself." Orville is younger in appearance and has the complexion of youth. His build is much like that of the brother, but his eyes are more prominent and his face without the sharper lines. He speaks so much like his brother that only friends could tell which one was talking. Miss Wright is pretty,ylvilac and charming,her smile always ready and bright, a whole-souled, outdoor American girl. Balloon Detachment Forced to Leave Fort Myer for Fort Omaha Washington, D. C.—Owing to the failure of Congress to provide funds for the construction of a gas plant and balloon house at Fort Myer, James Allen, chief officer of the signal corps, has been forced to change his plans for the aeronautical trials and tests at Fort Myer this summer. The motor balloon will be shipped immediately to Fort Omaha, where a modern hydrogen gas plant and a hanger or balloon house has been erected. The first expression from Wilbur Wright on the future of the aeroplane as he sees it came after he had been questioned about his own machine. "New inventions find or make new fields for themselves," he said. "I believe that this is true of the aeroplane. It will not take the place of the automobile, the steamboat or the railroad train. In a word, it will make a field for itself without usurping a field already occupied. "The aeroplane will not compete with the railroad or steamship as a conveyor of passengers over great distances and in large numbers, and as a carrier of freight it would prove a troublesome and unprofitable undertaking. Machines to Carry Sixteen May Be Built in Future. "At present I intend to build aeroplanes for two and three passengers. The number of passengers an aeroplane may carry is not limited to two or three, and in the future they may be built to carry a dozen to sixteen passengers. "The aeroplane will find its present usefulness after the manner of the automobile in its adaptability for quick trips over known routes, but will not take the place of the automobile." "Will the aeroplane ever be able to make long trips—to cross the ocean?" Wilbur Wright was asked. The lines about his mouth played curiously. "I am not building a machine to cross the ocean," he answered. "Do you think the dirigible balloon will be able to cross the ocean, or make regular trips between inland cities?" "I am not a balloonist and should not go into that field. It hardly seems practicable." Mr. Wright then told of his contract to return to Germany and demonstrate his aeroplane, prior to its adoption by that government, and added, significantly, that in the last two months Germany had turned from dirigible balloons to heavier-than-air machines. Found Nothing'Abroad To Adopt or Adapt. "Will your aeroplane be improved by the adoption of any ideas or inventions you found in Europe?" "We found nothing, and will adapt or adopt nothing. In fact, all the leading experimenters in the same field have ordered our machines. Sixty are now under construction in France and Scotland. They are of the same model as the one I took over. All of these have been ordered in advance. Their price will be about $7500 each." Women in Flights Showed Splendid Nerve. "They showed splendid nerve. None of them seemed in the least afraid or excited, and made splendid passengers. Taking their behavior, they certainly showed equal nerve with the men, and all of the men had good nerve," said Mr. Wright. Miss Wright said that she would not be able to return to Europe with her brothers in the early fall, her father has not met her place her mother had hoped. She said that they had hoped that the entire family might go to Europe, but that this plan had been abandoned. Orville Wright told of the plans of the brothers in this country. They remained in New York only over a day, and then went to Dayton, Ohio, for a few days' rest. Then they will go to Washington, D. C., where the experiments, which ended disastrously in the death of Lieutenant Selfridge and serious injury to Orville Wright, who has been prevented from making any flights since, will be resumed. Orville hopes that his injured thigh will mend enough to permit him to take part in the war. The test is to be concluded before June 28, in accordance with their contract with the United States Government. Then they will remain for a while to give army officers lessons in the management of the machine. In August they expect to sail for Germany, and will remain abroad for some months. On June 11 they will be received by President Taft at Washington. Boston-New York Airship Boston.—Charles J. Gildden, the Boston aeronaut, who is planning a Boston-to-New York aerial navigation company this spring, states that the line will be in operation this summer, with an airship larger than at first intended. Mr. Gildden says he is now busy securing options on land for stations. His plans include the establishment of a mail service by aeroplane and the erection of a factory to build air vehicles. MONEY DEPOSITED WITH The Wage Earners Loan and In- vestment Company 18 DOUBLY SECURED BY THQUSANDS OF DOLLARS INVESTED IN SAVANNAH REAL ESTATE. 5 PER CENT-PAID ON DEPOSITS. THE PIONGER NEGRO SAVINGS BANK OF GEORGIA. BELL PHONE 1198. 468 WEST BROAD CT. OWNED AND CONTROLLED BY SAVANNAH NEGROES. Among the Masons. Ask your officers if they have sent in their annual report. Chide them if they are laggards and tell them that you do not want to be a member of a lodge that is not prompt in rendering reports or obeying the edicts of the Grand Lodge. Masonry does not allow any political intrigues within its ranks. Those who are thus proned are made to understand that their place is not in this grand old order. Our coming session will be replete with harmony. All of the delegates know what they want and will legislate and act in a manner that behoves all good Masons. Grand Master Butler holds the esteem and confidence of the brethren who will show this in a no uncertain way at the coming session. IMPRESSIONS BY THE WAY. Notwithstanding the fact that the rules and precedents of Masonry prohibit publicity, the daily press is full of accounts of Masonic meetings in which names of candidates, workers and other data are published in full. There is a good deal of vanity in human nature and most men like to see their names in print and perhaps much Masonic publicity arises from this source. The fathers in Masonry guarded the institution with jealous watchfulness. Not only was the public unaware of the times of meeting but also it was a difficult matter to find out who the members were. If Masonic emblems were worn it was in a secretive manner about the clothing. But much of the present day Masonry is of the housepet variety. It is elevated to the public gaze. It is to be hoped that this tendency may be cheeked as the greatest and most powerful forces at work in the world are those which work in secrecy. One of the most perplexing problems which confronts every master is how to interest the laggards. It is a matter of figures that but ten per cent of the lodge membership is actively engaged in the work of Masonry. The balance are dues paying, function attending members. Just how to awaken the interest of this ninety per cent is a problem which will require the services of some bright mind to solve. A few Masters have been found who by tireless personal solicitation have interested a large per cent of the membership but when this activity ceased the interest-lagged. The fault is not with Masonry, but with the individuals who make up its personnel. The only thing any master can do is to make his lodge meetings interesting, then if his brethren fail to show a proper interest they are the losers. It is an old saying that you can lead a horse to the trough but can't make him drink. NARROWNESS. Strange, that some persons seem to want everybody to be alike! The world would be rather monotonous if it were so. It must mean a broader grasp of life to enter into the feelings of as many others, and look at life from as many viewpoints, as we can. We have seen again and again the person who raises the eyebrows with an expression of hopelessness at the discovery that some other is from a different section, has a different work in life from his, or gives the more important place in life to things he deems important. It would seem a happier way to look closely at and enjoy the unusual beauty of any life, however different from ours, so that it has a pure purpose—to rejoice to see every man fit into his peculiar niche in life and fill it well. The machinery of life needs big, heavy, substantial wheels and more delicately wrought, more ornamental ones. Why should we be narrow and ungenerous enough to want everybody to measure to one 'set' idea? Certainly the world is still large enough, still has room enough, for each of us to possess and carry about with us an individuality—Orphan's Friend. "We are overfond of change and amendment," said Grover Cleveland. That is a characteristic of the American people, and is only too pronounced in American Masonry. We have too much legislation, and too many "modern improvements," calculated to make two Masons grow where one grew before.—New York Masonic Standard. AGNEW-ROGERS. The most talked about wedding among the colored residents, that has taken place in White Plains in many years, was that of Miss Louise Anita Rogers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Rogers, of Fisher avenue, who was married last night by Rev. R. B. Page, in the Bethel Baptist Church to William Arthur Agnew, of Boston, Mass. The wedding guests filled the church and about a third of the guests were white people who were friends of the bride and groom. The bride came in on the arm of her father and she was met at the door by her bridesmales who escorted her to the altar where the groom and his best man met the party. The nuptial knot was soon tied and the party and many friends went to the home of the bride where a wedding supper was served. Mr. and Mrs. Agnew left town on the 10:06 train for their new home, in Boston. The bride's gown was white satin made in Empire Princess style. She wore a tulle veil caught up with orange blossoms and carried a bouquet of white roses and carnations. The matron of honor was Mrs. Adelaide F. Howard, of this village, and she was attired in a gown of cream colored satin. The bridesmaids were Miss Louise Magill, of New York, Emma Kinsley, Mae Lowery and Ethel Lowery, of this village. The flower girls were Ruth Krygar, of East Orange, N. J. and Abbie Booker, of this place. The best man was W. Stanley Oliver, of Boston. The ushers were J.R. Scales, David Brennan, William Holland and David Holland of White Plains. The wedding march was played by Miss L. Holland, of this village.—White Plains Record, White Plains, N. Y. BASEBALL NOTES. Johnstown has sold third baseman Sundheim to Jersey City. The Newark Club has purchased catcher Joe Crisp from the Kansas City Club. George Merritt, the Jersey City twirler, has played every position on the diamond. The Baltimore Club has turned pitcher Maroney over to "Big Bill" Clarke's Albany Club. Providence has purchased "Long John" Anderson from the Chicago American League Club. Abstin, who seems to be filling the bill at first for the Pirates, is the sixth first sacker that team has had in as many years. Catcher Marshall is making the circuit. He started with the Phillies, went to New York, then to Chicago, and is now with Brooklyn. The New York Club has turned infielder George Simmons, the hard-hitting Brooklyn boy, over to the Rochester Club of the Eastern League. Pitcher Mattern, of Boston, is a southpaw with a spit ball. Rarely do left-handers adopt the wet delivery, for they are generally wild enough without it. Pitcher McGinnity says the great strain of Christy Mathewson's arm last year will tell this season, and the great pitcher will have to be worked very carefully. One put-out is unusual for a first baseman in a nine-inning game. This is the record of first baseman Rohn, of Atlanta, in a game against Birmingham the other day. Manager Al Orth has demonstrated his ability to play the outfield by putting up a strong game in the right garden. He also bids fair to lead the Virgina League in batting. PROMINENT PEOPLE. The Duke of the Abruzzol attempted suicide on his way to India. Senator Doliver said that scandal attended the framing of every tariff bill. The Aeronautical Society in London presented its gold medal to Wilbur and Orville Wright. The Rev Nathaniel Seymour Thomas, rector of Holy Apostles Church, has been consecrated Bishop of Wyoming. Owen Moran, the English featherweight, has just sailed for his home in Birmingham to take a much needed vacation. Ex-President Castro says he is going-to sue the French Government for $2,000,000 damages for expelling him from Martinique. Count de la Vaulx and a friend were thrown out of a balloon while attempting to land at Arles. The count's leg was broken. The Rev. Dr. Sheldon Jackson, United States general agent of education in Alaska, died in Asheville, N. C. He was seventy-five years old. A petition for C. W. Morse's release from the New York City Tombs on ball was presented to the Court of Appeals by leading financiers. George Rice Carpenter, professor of rhetoric and English composition since May, 1893, in Columbia University, at New York City, died aged forty-six. Politicians generally agreed that ex-President Roosevelt could be elected Mayor of New York, but that he would not accept a nomination to that office. SESE esse 7 25 eee Steere = Steere == = zh SSS =:
