Gallant Soldier Again Chosen Commander-in-Chief of U.V.C. GETS CONVENTION In a Speech Tezas Woman Said, "We Are Still Rebels; We Will Die as Rebels." Memphis, Tenn.—After re-electing General Clement A. Evans commander-in-chief over his vigorous but futile protest, and selecting Mobile, he was the next place of reunion, the United Confederate Veterans adjoined their business meetings on the beds of a very stormy session. The only candidate for commander-in-chief placed in nomination was General William M. Gabell, commander of the trans-Mississippi division. Just before nominations were in order, General Evans read an announcement to the convention, in which he declined re-election. He said he had served in every capacity, from the lowest to the [Picture of a man with dark hair and a white shirt]. Gen. Clement A. Evans. highest, and that he felt that the highest honor in the veterans' gift should be passed from one ex-Confederate to another in turn. But the delegates disagreed with him, and by a vote of 1,540 to 744 for Cabell, re-elected him to command. With tears streaming down his cheeks and shaking with emotion, the stately and aged soldier bowed to the commands of his comrades. His election followed one of the stormiest sessions of the Confederacy, which old time delegates can recall. After Mobile, Houston, Nashville, Chattanooga and Oklahoma City had been put in nomination for the next reunion, some one began to introduce outside speakers, Sweltering in a temperature of over 100 degrees, the veteran delegates objected strongly and yelled vigorously for a vote. But the disorder was desultory. Finally, John W. Apperson, commander-in-chief of the United Sons of Confederate Veterans, secured the floor and introduced Congressman T. U. Sisson of Mississippi, as the spokesman of the Sons. Nearly every one thought Sisson was to spring a "dark horse" candidate for the next meeting place. But, as it became evident that the young congressman merely desired to make a speech, the delegates became noisy and calls of "sit down" and "vote" were insistent. Sisson was game, however, and won out on a test of endurance. Meantime, Mrs. Moore Murdock of Dallas, Texas, was endeavoring to be heard. She possesses a very masculine voice and manner of delivery, and she soon quieted the assembly. The veterans listened in patience until she declared: "We have lied as rebels, we are still rebels and we will die as rebels." Then pandemonium broke loose. It was difficult to tell whether the majority favored her sentiments or opposed them. Cheers mingled with cat calls and hisses, and above all reverberated the ear-splitting rebel yell. Mr. Sisson's speech was received with mingled cheers and hisses, and many Confederates left the hall in disgust. Others crowded around him and swamped him with congratulations. Several other speakers were introduced, but no one heard their names or what they said until Governor Haskell of Oklahoma was introduced. Even he had a stormy greeting, which might be construed one way or another. Finally however, he offered the crown and made a diplomatic speech, inviting the convention to choose the Oklahoma City for the 1910 reunion. NO VETO BY TAFT. President Says No. One Has Authority to Say He Will Veto Measure. President says No One Has Authority to Say He Will Veto Measure. Washington, D. C. — Senate and house leaders who are directing the course of the warft bill, and who are members of the conference the bill after it has passed the senate, took measures to ascertain whether there was any foundation for reports that President Taft would veto the bill They have reached the conclusion that there is no basis whatever for such reports. The president told one of the republicans that no one had authority to suggest that he had in mind the veto of the tariff measure. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. NATIONAL BANKS GROWING. Individual Deposits for the Year Total $4,286,060,284. Washington, D. C.—During the current fiscal year the national banks of the country have received in individual deposits $4,826,060,384, which is more than a billion and a half dollars in excess of the entire outstanding money supply of the United States. The year which will close with the present month has been one of exceptional prosperity for national banks. Since May 14, 1908, there has been a net increase of 153 in the number of national banks. Of the number that, went into liquidation, 71 were in Oklahoma, and withdrew from the national system to reorganize under the state law in order to take advantage of the state guaranty law. Notwithstanding the unusual number of banks withdrawing from the national system, the aggregate capital, surplus and profits of the banks reporting on April 28, 1909, amounted to $1,729,057,010, or an increase of $58,586,428 during the year. The loans and discounts increased $434,766,993, deposits $513,403,684 and total resources $774,261,145. Cash in banks on April 28 amounted to $926,796,902, an increase of $25,354,752 over the call of May 14, 1908, although between the dates mentioned the government-withdraw from the national banks $111,255,542,11. leaving still on deposits $70,401,822,99. JARRING NOTE WITH JAPANESE. Demand Removal of Flag From Seattle Exposition Building. Seattle, Wash.—Diplomatic relations between Japan and the United States have been threatened because an officer acting, for Admiral Ijlichi, in command of the Japanese fleet at Seattle, requested that the Japanese flag be removed from one of the buildings at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition. The request was made to Robert Boyce, assistant to the president of the exposition. Since the exposition opened the Japanese flag has been exhibited under the American flag at one of the state buildings. A midshipman from from the Japanese fleet called upon Boyce and insisted that the Japanese flag either be placed above the American flag or removed entirely. There was much discussion among the officers of the exposition and it was finally decided to withdraw the Japanese flag. A special meeting of the exposition officials has been called to determine whether or not the Japanese flag is to be exhibited during the rest of the exposition. On account of the recent disturbance between Japan and America on the immigration question the Japanese fleet now in the Seattle harbor has caused great unrest in this section. COLONEL M'GLURE DEAD Veteran Editor Was Notable Friend to the South. Philadelphia, Pa.—Colonel Alexander K. McClure, protonotary of the supreme and superior courts of Pennsylvania, and for many years a prominent figure in politics and journalism, died at his home in Wallingford, Delaware county, aged 82 years. Though a northern man, Colonel McClure was a notable friend to the south after the war and during the reconstruction period, and his sage counsel was of great service to this section. He devoted much of his time in writing about the opportunities in the industrial development of the south, and for years was an unceasing advocate of this subject. Newsy Paragraphs. When he united in marriage with one ceremony recently five eloping couples from southwest Virginia; Rev. A. H. Burroughs. of Bristol, Tenn., came within one of equaling his own host record for couples united in this manner. This brought the total marriage performed by Rev. Burroughs up to nearly three thousand. The suit of the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining company for $30,000,000 damages from the American Sugar Refining company was formerly dismissed by Judge Holt in the United States circuit court, when counsel for the plaintiff informed the court that a settlement had been effected. Two million dollars, the return of seven millions par value of securities held as collateral and the cancellation of a loan of $12,000 was the price paid by the American Sugar Refining company to end the suit. What is said to be the largest amount ever paid to a railroad in the south for transportation was turned over to an agent in New Orleans recently. The purchase of two tickets for a trip around the world required an outlay of practically $10,000 from A. Kline, a merchant of New Orleans. Man Found In Swamn. Pensacola, Fla. — After wandering about the swamps in the vicinity of Bayou Chico for ten days, George Holmes, 33 years of age, was found by parties who had been searching for a number of days for the old man who is partially insane. He is in a critical condition-from exposure and bites of insects. France to Spend Millions on Navy. Paris, France—The naval program approved by the cabinet involves an expenditure of $600,000,000, covering a period of ten years. Six battleships of the Danton type, six of the Republic type and four armored cruisers are included in the estimates. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JUNE 12, 1909. FOUND FINE TRUCKING LANDS FOUND FINE TRUCKING LANDS Soil Expert Recently Made Trip Through the South. PREPARING SPECIAL REPORT Dr. Bonsteel Found Land in Vicinity of Savannah, as Adaptable fo' Truck Growing as Other Sections. Washington, D. C.-Dr. J. A. Bonsteel of the bureau of soil, United States department of agriculture, has just returned to Washington from an extended tour of the south, which was for the purpose of investigating the adaptability of different types of soil for certain kinds of crops, especially winter and early spring vegetables. Dr. Bonsteel is enthusiastic over the results of his trip and is preparing a special report. When seen Dr. Bonsteel said: "The first trip war to the city of Savannah, in order to investigate the possibility of developing the land on Chatham county in and around the City of Savannah for an extensive trucking industry. I found there the same types of soil which have made Norfolk, a, Newborn and Wilmington, N. C., and Charleston, S. C., famous centers for the production of a great quantity of winter and early spring truck crops: Of great importance in this connection, also, is the fact that all of the lower lying land of the vicinity of Savannah is so situated that Artesian water in large quantities is easily obtainable, and could be used on soils of the Portsmouth series for the irrigation of celery. This one fact will enable truck growers in the vicinity of Savannah to compete favorably with the Florida celery growers in the production of this important and valuable truck crop. Celery, when properly irrigated and otherwise handled, produces from $1,000 to $1,800 worth of the plant to the acre, and is one of the most valuable trucking crops which can be produced anywhere. In addition the Norfolk fine sand, which exists in profusion in the immediate vicinity of Savannah, is one of the best soils along the Atlantic coast for the production of early Irish potatoes, tomatoes, sugar corn, green peas, extra early strawberries and a considerable variety of minor trucking crops. In my opinion, so far as soil and climate are concerned, there would be absolutely nothing to stand in the way of the development of thousands of acres of truck gardens in the vicinity of Savannah. "From Savannah I went to Barnsville and Pike county, Georgia, where a soil survey party of the bureau of soils is investigating the soils conditions of that county. I found a considerable variety of soils, particularly those of the Cecil series, which occupy practically all of the Pledmont section of Georgia; investigated the peach industry, which is developing around Barnsville, and also saw the peacan groves and nurseries, which have been started in the vicinity of Barnsville by some of the enterprising citizens of that section. Contrary to the usual belief, that peacan culture is practically confined to the coast section of the United States, I found that excellent results, and early maturity of trees were obtained on the Cecil sandy loam in the immediate vicinity of Barnsville, and at a few other points in Pike county. This is practically a new industry for the Pledmont section of the United States and the profitable development of these groves will undoubtedly be watched with a great deal of interest on the part of all horticulturists and nut growers. The prospects so far are excellent for the development of the peacan industry as a high grade of agriculture in Central and West Georgia. "I also visited some of the soil survey parties working in Alabama, and held a conference with Commissioner of Agriculture J. A. Wilkinson in regard to future operations in the state. The state of Alabama is expending $10,000 annually in co-operations with the bureau of soils, which is expending a like amount in the completion of soil survey work in the state of Alabama. This co-operation has been in effect less than two years, but by January 1, 1910, a larger area of soil survey work will have been completed in Alabama than in any other state in the United States. Four soil survey parties are at present engaged in the work in Alabama, and surveys are in progress in Tallapoosa, Coffee, Baldwin and Hale, counties. The work in at least three of these counties will be completed during July or early in August, and additional work will then be taken up in the north central portion of the state. The soil sur- Immediately after the - governor's speech, the vote for the next reunion city began. Every one picked Houston, Texas, as the winner, but Mobile, Ala., seemed to have conducted a gum-shoe campaign, and it soon became evident that the Alabama city had won. She polled 1,384 votes with Houston second, with 695, Oklahoma City, Nashville and Chattanooga receiving scattering votes. General Evans' re-election likewise was made unanimous, and the convention, forgetting its disagreements of an hour before, adjourned to the tune of "Dixie," the delegates cheering, laughing, crying and even hugging one another. keys thus far completed in the state of Alabama have shown a wonderful diversity in the soils, and the surveys are laying the foundation for an agricultural development in the state, which in due time will be no less marked than the industrial development of the coal and iron fields in north central Alabama. "I also visited the soil survey party which is working in Jackson county, Miss., in the vicinity of Scranton and Ocean Springs, Miss. The native pine timber has not yet been cut from the greater part of Jackson county, and agricultural development is in its infancy. Only a few thousand acres of land are actually under cultivation in the area surveyed, but the soils and climatic conditions are such that there are exceptional opportunities for the development of the trucking industry, of pecan culture, of the production of the Satsuma orange, and eventually for the production of cotton, both the sea island and long staple upland varieties, within the area. "From Ocean Springs, Miss., I went to Marianna, Fla., where a soil survey of the western portion of Jackson county, Fla., is nearly completed. In addition to the soils usual in the coastward section of the -United States, there are also in this county soils of considerable extent, which are derived from the underlying limestone, and constitute some of the most fertile cotton and corn soils of the South Atlantic section. "I returned by the way of Jacksonville, Fla., more enthusiastic than ever over the possibilities for developing the unused agricultural lands of the south, not merely for the production of staple crops, with good average returns per acre, but also with regard to the development of special industries, where from the production of fruits, nuts, garden vegetables and tobacco the soils may be made to aggregate from $500 to $2,000 per acre, under intensive forms of cultivation." CONFEDERATE GRAVES TO BE MARKED. Government to Erect Monument at Salem, New Jersey, Washington, D. C.-A monument of marble or granite to cost about $8,500 is to be erected by the United States government in the Confederate section of Filinn's Point national cemetery, of Salem, N. J., to mark the rosting place of 2,460 officers and men of the Confederate army and navy who died as prisoners of war at Fort Delaware between 1862 and 1865. Bids for the monument will be opened on January 21 by Colonel William Coats, commissioner for marking the graves of Confederate soldiers. The adoption of a monument for the purpose is due to the fact that it has been found impossible, because of imperfect records, to place distinctive headstones at each individual grave as contemplated by the act of congress. MYSTIC SHRINE ELECTS OFFICERS. New Orleans Gets the Next Convention of the Shriner. Louisville, Ky.-Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, in the thirty-fifth annual convention, choose New Orleans for the 1910 convention, set the date of meeting back from June to April 12; choose Potentate Ellas D. Jacoby of Indianapolis as the imperial outer guard, and put the other officers forward one step, thus making George L. Street of Richmond, Va., imperial potentate. Charters were granted for Shrines in Norfolk, Va., and El Paso, Texas. A charter was refused Macon, Ga. Jacob T. Barron, of Columbia, S. C., was elected imperial, oriental guide Monument to Southern Women. Washington, D. C.-L. Amatels, the French sculptor who was commissioned by a joint committee of the United Confederate eterans and Sons of Confederate Veterans to design a bronze monument to the women of the southern Confederacy, has completed his work. The statue will be entitled "The Inspiring Genius of the Confederacy." It is designed to commemorate the heroesism, self-sacrifice, patriotism and devotion to the Confederacy of the women of the south. Walter Saved $200,000. New York City.—Charles Miller, who has worked for $30 a month for thirty-four years as a waiter behind the lunch counter in a hotel here, resigned his job and announced his intention of taking a trip to Europe. At the hotel it was said that Miller had accumulated a fortune of $200,000 from working as a waiter. He is familiarly known by many prominent men in the lower part of Manhattan and about his counter every day could be found men on whom he had been waiting for a quarter of a century. Ex-sheriff Edward Callahan, famous throughout Kentucky for the part he played in the numerous Breaththitt county feuds, was shot from ambush near Jackson, Ky., and lies fatally wounded at his home in Crockettville. Holding to be void, under the laws of New York, certain trusts by which the testator sought to tie up his estate, D. Cady Herrick, Referee in the suit brought by the three daughters of the late Antonio Yznaga del Valle, decided in favor of the plaintiffs. Under the terms of the decision, Consuele, dowager duchess of Manchester; Lady Natica Llater-Kay and Emily Yznaga are entitled to an equal division of $556,830. the principal of the trust fund created for them. LATE NEWS NOTES. General. At Gordon, Vt., tramps are given a leaf of brand and a can of salmon or piece of cheese and directed to the lock-up, where they find the door open to receive them. They build a flag, make themselves at home and go whenever and wherever they like. Mrs. Harry E. Mitchell, wife of Captain Mitchell, United States army, military instructor at the Washington State college at Pullman, Wash., has completed for the cadets there what is believed to be the largest American flag in existence. It is one hundred and ten feet in width and thirty-nine feet deep. Each of the thirteen alternate red and white stripes is three feet wide, while the field of blue with huge*white stars is twenty-one feet square. The flag, stretched across the front of a three-story brick building, furnishes a background for a full corps of cadets and officers and bandsmen lined up in military order. The body of Chouchard, the French multi-millionaire department store owner, who died last week, has been placed in the coffin ready for burial. The buttons of the walstocat of the shroud were pearls, which cost $100,000, and were his favorite gems. For this reason the executors decided they should be buried with him. The coffin is a wonderful work of art. It is made of bronze and copper and the carvings on it cost nearly $10,000. It is so heavy that fourteen men are required to carry it. The will of the late M. Chauchard was made public. The state receives his collection of pictures, which cost him $5,400,000, and are now worth much more. Mrs. Rebecca Burns, who is said to have been one hundred and fifteen years old when she died at her home near Bellefontaine, Ohio, recently, found the secret of longevity in her custom of eating onions twice a day. Chicago's oldest woman pins her faith to doughnuts. Washington. President Taft made public the opinion of Sollicitor General Bowers, as to what is whiskey. The president withheld action. The solicitor general finds that "no drug refined by the United States pharmacopia or formulary shall be deemed to be adulterated, if the standard of strength, quality or purity be plainly stated upon the bottle, box or other containant. Under these provisions of the pure food act, whatever is described in the pharmacopia as whiskey, must be entitled to that name." Conditions in the southern states formed an interesting topic of conversation between President Taft and Booker T. Washington. President Taft asked Washington for some of his ideas regarding southern agricultural and industrial problems involving the negro. He replied that in his opinion the training of the negro in industrial pursuits was having the effect of obtaining for them the respect of the better element of the whites. The president spoke of his desire to do all possible to eradicate sectional feeling that had developed between the south and the north. Employees actually at work in building the "Panama canal now number 26, 335, as shown by the report of the chief quartermaster. Of this number 4,355 are "gold" employees and the remainder are on the "silver" or labor roll. The Panama railroad force numbers 6,078, and the railroad commissary force 786. Thus the total number at work both on the canal and railroad is shown to be 33,699. The report states that 750 laborers from Barbados were imported, 500 of them being assigned to the railroad on the re-located line, and 250 on the three construction divisions of the canal work. J. S. Abbott, state dairy and food commissioner of Texas, having read the opinion rendered by Solicitor General Bowers to President Taft on the question, "What Is Whiskey?" has telegraphed the president from Denton, Texas, as follows: "Texas will follow" Roosevelt-Bonapate-Wiley whiskey rulings. No diluted, colored spirits for Texas." At the white house is is said on high authority that President Taft has not offered the ambassadorship to France to former Secretary of State Bacon nor has he at the present time any intention of doing so, reports to the contrary notwithstanding. President Taft has been forced, through the illness of Mrs. Taft, to postpone his proposed western summer trip until fall. Although he has made no definite announcement herefore, it had been the president's intention to depart in August on a tenweeks' tour of the west and Alaska. It has developed that the possibility of Mrs. Taft being able to accompany the president with safety is slight, although she is making satisfactory progress toward recovery from her recent illness. Jewelry to the amount of several millions of dollars, according to reports, was discovered at Yildiz kiosk, the home of the late sultan of Turkey, in addition to the $10,000,000, either in cash or negotiable securities, found there. This statement is contained in a long; communication to the state department from the ambassador at Constantinople, who says, conditions in Turkey continue to improve." Warren H. Ives, secretary and treasurer of the Niagara County, N. J. Veterans' association, is dead. He was President Lincoln's confidential messenger between the white house and the firing line during the civil war, and was a noted scout in the Shenandoah valley. U. S. AFTER BLACK HAND Headquarters of Gang Discovered at Marion, Ohio. OFFICIALS MAKE ARRESTS Postoffice Inspectors Secure Evidence Which They Say Will Break Up the Society in This Country. Cincinnati, Ohio.—Revelations in the extortion, plotting and murder by the Black Hand as uncovered by the postoffice inspectors from the Cincinnati office show conclusively that the gang in Columbus, Marion, Denison and Bellfortaine and other Ohio towns were organized along the same lines as the old Mafa, but, if anything, with a much better system for concealing their movements. It is now known that the Ohio Black Hand, or the "Society of the Banana," as its members style themselves, had a branch in Pittsburg and one in Chicago and a line that extended to South Dakota. Regular meetings were held, and the money obtained by extortion was distributed to various divisions in this country and sent to relatives in Italy for safekeeping. "We have found what I believe to be certain proofs that the Black Hand outrages, at least in the middle west, including Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Chicago, Columbus and other western cities were committed by a well-organized society with grips and passwords, and that they are not simply sporadic cases of individual extortion," said Chief Postoffice Inspector Holmes. "We have letters of the same handwriting and on the same watered paper, with the Black Hand emblems made with the same chirographic style that were sent to victims in Cincinnati and Columbus from the Black Hand members in Pittsburg, Chicago and Cleveland. For instance, if a victim were selected in Cincinnati, as was the case in several instances, he would perhaps receive the first threatening letter, demanding money on pain of death by dynamite bomb, from Marion, Ohio. "The second letter would be written by the same person, but forwarded to the Black Hand in Pittsburgh, who would, in turn, then mail it to the victim. If there were no response in the way of money, then a third letter would come to the victim from the Chicago Black Hand. In this way the organization concealed its movements. "The thousands of dollars sent by Black Hand members to Italy was simply their division of the spoils made at regular meetings, sent abroad to their innocent relatives for safe-keeping." Nine arrests have been made so far in Columbus, Marton, Dennison and Bellefontaine, all in Ohio. CANADIAN LOGS WRECKED. $4,000,000 Canal Almost Ruined By Weight of Water. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.—With all the weight of Lake Superior behind it, an ungoverned torrent of water rushed through the $4,000,000 Canadian canal, built to carry vessels around the impassable rapids of the St. Marys river. The entire fall of approximately 20 feet is concentrated in the lock which was wrecked when the steamer Berry G. Walker of the Gilchrist fleet, rammed her bow through the lower gate. The canal presents a tremendous spectacle, including two waterfalls and giant whirlpool. The upper gates were open when the Walker crushed open the lower gates and the tremendous power of the rapids—was given instant play. The steamer Assiniboia, a big Canadian Pacific passenger liner, moored within the lock chamber, was torn away. Riding on the crest of the flood, she jammed the Walker from her path, the Assinibol's port anchor running a hole in the Walker's side. The ore-laden steamer Crescent City, of the Pittsburgh Steamship Company, which was just entering the locks from Lake Superior when the accident occurred, was swept down stream. She overtook the Assinibota and struck the latter two glancing blows after having a great hole torn in her side as she passed the broken lower gates. Tugs, caught her and towed her to the American side, where she settled to the bottom. Both the upper gates of the lock and one gate were wrenched from their mooring. The other-lower gate still bangs to its fastening, twisted and broken. Captain Mosher of the steamer Walker, declares that the accident was caused by his engineer making a mistake and throwing his lever full speed ahead on the captain's signal to back up. FATAL ELEVATOR RIDE Tragedy Occurs in the Flatiron Building in New York. New York City.—Her first ride in an elevator ended fatally for Miss Lena Schoormaker, aged 19 years, of Saugerties, N. Y., who came to this city with a party of a dozen girls on an excursion under the chaperonage of Mrs. Charles M. Hall of Kingston, N. Y., a daughter of Judge Alton B. Parker. The accident occurred in the Flatiron building. Miss Schoormaker falted and fell as the elevator in which she was descending with Mrs. Hall and four companions stopped suddenly, and her head was crushed against the wall of the shaft as the car unexpectedly shot up again. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society being a Stat. Ten Thousand Dollars, and which are held by the State of Georgia, by authority and under the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly, approved October 22d, 1887, and amended December 20th, 1892. R. E. Parsi. AM not thoroughly convinced that the women of the East are yet ready for the ballot. The West is more aggressive than the East, and its women with their ballot is the greatest proof of that statement. In every other sense of the term "equal rights" I am a firm believer in it. Women should have, as they do have, equal opportunity in professional, business and intellectual life with men. They are advancing along all these lines and are abreast of men. In art and in ethics I believe women are In the vanguard, but I cannot see that at the present time New York women are ready for the ballot. Their day will come, but it must not come too rapidly. Political education and economics are matters that have taken years for men to grasp in their highest meanings, and the woman vote to become a power must be an intelligent, carefully considered asset to the common good. At the present time I believe a matter far more important to women as a class than the getting of the ballot is her active and sympathetic work with the wage-earning woman and the women whose limited means makes it necessary for them to battle for subsistence in the lowliest walks of life. The woman of leisure who wants to make her life count should reach her hand out, and not down, to these women. She should interest herself in bettering the conditions and environments of those women. She should assist them to get better beds, freer air and more material comfort for themselves and the children depending upon them. Greater than the ballot will the influence of such women be in this great Empire State. The ballot will come, but women must first be prepared to meet the great responsibilities incumbent upon the voter. By William Hard OMAN is putting on her good clothes and coming Downtown. Which is one of the epoch-making events in her industrial history. For, while women are not gaining on men noticeably in factories, they are gaining on them every day noticeably, strikingly, overwhelmingly, in salesrooms, correspondence rooms, auditing rooms, and all the other places congeniently summarized as "stores and offices." Nevertheless, while it is true in the factory trades, as a whole that men and women seem to have reached, temporarily at least, an equilibrium of relative numbers, it is also true that HERE AND THERE, OCCASIONALLY, IN THE CONSTANT GIVE AND TAKE BETWEEN THE SEXES, MEN ARE BEING DISPLACED BY WOMEN. When this happens, it is worth watching, because the industrial character of woman is then revealed in action.—"The Woman's Invasion," in Everybody's.

"What for has she run away from Cairnie, Sammy?" inquired the old school-mistress with an anxious air. Her letters were important, but her attention was diverted from them to the piece of disqueting news Sammy had delivered at every house he had stopped at on the way down. He scratched his head, and shot out his underlip, white his one good eye gleamed under his shaggy brows. "I should say, Miss Gentles, that she ran away because she had enough old. In a general way that's what gars folk rin away free onything in this world." But Miss Gentles was not reassured; nor indeed much enlightened, "Jenny's no 'a body's money, ye ken, Miss Gentles, but when she's wil the right folk she's a dell to work, and she has a wey wil' her; oh, yes, she has a wey. But she needs guildin." Now these words smote Miss Gentles in a vulnerable spot. It was borne in upon her that she might have done more in the way of guilding the orphan girl who had once been her most brilliant pupil. Had she but persisted in her desire to offer her a place in her own quiet household as companion under the supervision of her trusted maid, Susan Bell, Jenny might have gone forth to the battle of life better equipped. But the two elderly women had shrunk with a very natural shrinking from introducing such a disturbing element into their quiet lives, and Miss Gentles had contented herself, with procuring various places for Jenny, none of which had proved to be the right niche. "When did it happen, Samuel, and do they know where she has gone?" "It happened yesterday, and they dinnna ken whaur she has gone, and as far as I could see they dinnna care. But the cook drappin a hint. She said that it was on account of the Captain's nephew that has been stoppin at Hill o' Cairnle since Christmas." "Thank you, Sammy," said Miss Gentles. She re-entered the house, read her letters, which were satisfactory, then after a brief colloquy with Susan Bell she dressed herself in readiness for a walk. It was a bright winter morning, with a slight powdering of snow lying on the frozen ground, a blue sky overhead, and a brilliant sun which made the exercise of walking ideal. Miss Gentles had two and a half miles in front of her, but footed it briskly, and reached her destination between eleven and twelve, just when the sun was at its brightest and-the day-in full glory. Miss Gentles was conscious of a sharp sense of discomfort and apprehension as she approached the long bare house on the windy hill of Cairnie, and it was only a strong conception of duty which gave her courage to go on. Her inquiry for Mrs. Hill Stoner was met by a dubious shake of the head on the part of the man-servant. "She's not downstairs yet, madam, but if the Captain will do"— "The Captain will do, thank you. Please to tell him that Miss Gentles, from Broomferry, would like to speak to him for a few minutes." The man ushered her into a small study, where Miss Gentles was left to recover herself. The walk had heightened her color, and her sweet cameo-like face was wonderfully attractive, with its becoming frame of soft, white hair, and its kind illuminating eyes. Miss Gentles, however, was not at all concerned with her appearance, and when the Captain, a somewhat bluff, fierce-looking individual, entered the room, she rose with a little nervous flutter. "I must apologize, Captain Stonor," she said quickly. "It is a matter which perhaps concerns Mrs. Stonor more nearly, but I am informed that she has not yet come downstairs, and as I have led a long walk I ventured to ask you." "Quite right, Miss Gentles. My wife is up, but not ready for visitors yet. Fact is she's had an upset in her household, and one of them's run away." "Yet, it is that I have come about, Captain Stonor, the little girl Jenny Ransome, who came to Mrs. Stonor a few months ago as useful help." · The Captain smiled grimly. "Whoever recommended her, Miss Gentles, didn't use a good turn"— "Why, it was I who recommended her, Captain. Jenny was the very brightest pupil I ever had through A Health Hint A farmer, plowing with three horses hitched abreast, noticed that the middle horse became tired and exhausted long before either of its mates. As the animal was the equal in every way of the other two, he was puzzled as to the cause of its not being able to stand the same amount of work. He finally observed, however, that as they drew the plow along, the three horses held their noses close together, and with the result that the middle horse was compelled to breathe the expired air from its fellows. The farmer then procured a long "jockey" stick, which he fastened with straps to the bits of the outside horses. The device worked perfectly; for, given its rightful share of good, fresh air, the middle horse was able to do the same amount of work and with no greater fatigue than its fellows. Many persons are like the middle horse; they do not get their rightful share of fresh, pure air. And this is why they are not able to perform as much work nor of as good a quality as they would otherwise be able to do. my hands, and she only wanted a little guilding." The Captain nodded. "Precisely, but Hill o' Cairnle was hardly the place for a lassie that needed guilding. I'm afraid we need it ourselves. But we needn't beat about the bush. My nephew, or rather my wife's nephew, has been here since Christmas, and he fell in love with the girl. All the trouble has been about that." "Jenny couldn't help that, Captain," said Miss Gentles spiritedly. "And it was surely the young gentleman's part to keep away from a young girl who had the protection of his aunt's house." "Admirable sentiment, dear lady, but vulgarly speaking, it won't wash," observed the Captain grimly. "I'm not saying anything against the girl. I may tell you honestly I liked her, she was a sunbeam in the house; I've never known a more willing creature, and I don't blame the lad. But, of course, his aunt was furious, and spoke very sharp words to the girl, so that she ran away—left all her things here, too. I suppose she has gone home." "She hasn't any home, Captain Stonor. She came direct from her last place at Brilars Manse to you, and I want to know where she is A Heal (From the Chit THE MIDDLE A farmer, plowing with noticed that the middle horse long before either of its mates in every way of the other t cause of its not being able to work.

"I'm sorry I can't give you the information, because I don't possess it." "Your nephew is here still. Could you ask him? If he has been so deeply interested in her he probably knows where she has gone." "You may take my word for it that he doesn't know. He's very much upset about it, and there have been several scenes between him and his aunt. I keep outside of it all, but I liked the little girl, and I'm sorry this has happened. Who is she anyhow. Miss. Gentles?" "Her father was the doctor at Portna ferry, and died when she was very young, leaving her without a mother, and almost penniless. She drifted to Broomferry somehow, and several have had a hand in her upbringing. She was at my school for four years; just before she went to Briars Manse?" "And she hasn't been seen about Broomferry since yesterday, you say?" "No, I'm very anxious about her." "I shouldn't like any harm to come to the lassie, Miss Gentles, but what are, we to do?" "I'll go back and speak to the Sergeant; Jenny had a very passionate, hasty temper, but I hope she would not do any harm to herself." "Oh, bless me, no; that would be an awful thing. Don't suggest it, Miss Gentles. If you'll sit down for ten minutes or so I'll get a horse put in and drive down with you." Every inquiry was made in Broomferry and surrounding district, but nothing more was heard of Jenny Ransome for many a day. Perhaps the one who had the most uneasy mind over it was Miss Gentles. She fell ill after a time, with an illness so serious that a trained nurse had to be fetched from Glasgow to look after her, which was naturally a sore dispensation on Susan Bell. But when she opened the door to admit the nurse, she gave a little cry, and a light shone over all her rugged face. "Jenny. Ransome, as I'm a living woman!" "Yes, Susan. I hoped you wouldn't recognize me, and I only came because I wanted so much to see dear Miss Gentles again. Promise me you won't tell a living soul in Broomferry I'm here." Busan bromised, blithely enough, and a delightful month ensued in the old house in the Broad Wynd where Miss Gentles was slowly nursed back to health and strength, by the most winsome nurse that had ever made sunshine in a slackroom. One day in the last week of the month, during which the secret of Jenny Ransome's return to Broomferry had been secretly guarded, a carriage drove up in hot haste to Miss Gentle's house and a footman delivered a peremptory message to Susan Bell. There had been an accident he told her, and he was blidden to bring Miss Gentles' nurse without fall to Hill o' Calrine, and to take no denial. He produced a note from his mistress to that effect, which Susan Bell carried to the dining room, where her mistress and the nurse were at that moment having tea together. A hurried discussion took place, Jenny demurring. But something stronger than her wish and will seemed to settle the question, and in less than ten minutes' time Jenny's bag was on the box and herself inside the carriage, and the fleet horses covering the distance to Hill o' Cairnle. And Jenny Ransome came no more to the Broad Wynd of Broomferry, save as an occasional and well-beloved visitor from the bleak house on the windy Hill o' Cairnle. Next day when Doctor Cuthill came to pay his usual visit to Miss Gentles there was an air of quiet satisfaction about him, a little twinkle in his eyes which spoke volumes. "Tell me about Jenny, Doctor," said Miss Gentles, without a moment's preliminary. "Was it you that got her taken to Cairnle?" "Yes, and the best day's work ever I did. The Captain had an accident with his gun yesterday, and for a man of his age it might be serious. There was no time to lose, and I wanted somebody to help me." "What did Mrs. Stonor say when she saw Jenny?" "She didn't recognize her, my woman. Her sight is not so very good, and she's fallen desperately in love with her. We that's looking on will see all the fun." "But is it quite honest, Doctor? Inquired Miss Gentles gravely." "Mrs. Stonor might have cause to be very angry if she knew." "I'll risk it, and the nephew has Health Hint (Chicago Tribune) WOLE HORSE three horses hitched abreast, whose became tired and exhausted.

"It's wonderful, but she's a dear lassie, Doctor, and fit for any Stonor among them." "Just what I thought, Miss Gentles. I'll come in every day on my way back from Hill o' Cairnnie, and charge nothing for reporting Jenny day by day." Miss Gentles laughed, and they parted good friends, as they had been all their lives. He was as good as his word, and one day a week later he brought Jenny herself to the Broad Wynd on the front seat of the door-cart. "Here's the lassie to account for herself. Oh, there's been bonnie on gauns at Cairnle, I promise ye, Miss Gentles. It's time ye had her in hand again." He only waited to let her alight, and she ran in, and with laughter and tears lung herself on the kind breast of her old friend. "Oh, everybody's so kind, and I'm so happy; and I don't deserve it all," she cried breathlessly. "Deserve what, my lassle?" "Oh, everything; the Captain has been making his will this morning all over again, and it includes me, and—and I'm not coming back any more to Broomferry, dear Miss Caroline.

Campaign to Prevent It Estab lishing a Loather Menopoly. Evidence That Chicago Packers Under Present Conditions Will Ultimately Control Shoe Business. Washington, D. C.—The lobby and the lawyers in charge of the manifold interests of the Beef Trust are in high glee because of recent successes in steering their unpopular client past all legislative and legal obstacles without a single bump. A complete score of the Trust's victories, blessings and mercies would be very long, but here are a few of them: The proposed new prosecution by the Government has been abandoned. Recent offerings of the bonds of the Trust have been eagerly accepted in Wall Street at high prices. Prices of meats have been advanced again and again and there is no serious complaint. William Lorimer, the heroic defender of the Trust in Congress, has been elected to the Senate of the United States by his fellow-citizens of Illinois, and last, but not least, the movement for free hides in Congress has been defeated. That is, the Beef Trust thinks the question is settled, but a game and effective fight for free hides and leather is still being waged, and there are hopes that Congress may yet be influenced to take another point of view. The most effective campaign is that conducted by ex-Governor Douglas, of Massachusetts, who is bombarding Congress with literature and arguments which are causing a great stir in the corporation camp. The last brick he has thrown at the meat monopoly is sensational in the extreme. Copies of his statement have been sent to every United States Senator and every Representative in Congress and to all shoe manufacturers, wholesale jobbers, retail shoe dealers and leather users in the United States. Mr. Douglas declares that the shoe manufacturers of this country are facing a crisis even greater than many of them realize. Under present conditions it does not take a prophet to foretell in a general way what, will happen, Mr. Douglas says. The logic of events has already proceeded far enough, to indicate clearly the goal toward which we are rapidly traveling. This is no less than a gigantic trust controlling the beef packing, leather tanning and shoe manufacturing industries of this country. This trust will, of course, be built around the present Beef Trust. The advantage given to the Beef Trust, as the original owner of hides, is so great that competition with it will be hopeless, as soon as it can establish itself in the leather tanning and shoe manufacturing industries. By ownership and control, through community of interest, and by tanning contracts, the Beef Packers' Trust has already become so dominant in the sole leather tanning business that it is difficult to locate independent tanners. More than thirty tanners are now said to be under Armour, Swift, Morris control. Recently reports have been heard that the Beef Packers were becoming interested in the shoe manufacturing business. It seems clear that the almost inevitable result of continuing the present policy is to throw the entire leather tanning and shoe manufacturing business into the hands of the Beef Trust, which has, through its shaughtering interests, control of the country's hide supply, and can dictate prices. Nesapagh publishers are taking a deep interest in this matter because the shoe men are among their largest advertisers, and they realize that if the Beef-Trust got control of the business it would no more advertise shoes then that it does sirtlon steaks now. GIRL'S HURRY COSTS HER-LIFE. Runs in Front of Auto Which Had Started Again at Crossing. Lockport, N. Y.—Marlon Goerss, nine years old, was killed by an automobile driven by Harry Haskins, son of Supervisor Haskins, of the Fifth Ward, here. Chief of Police Smith placed Haskins under arrest. Haskins was employed as a demonstrator, for a local automobile firm. He says the runabout was slowed up when the girl and four other persons started to cross the street in front of it. The party on foot also came to a standstill, and Haskins sent the automobile ahead. Just as he did so the girl darted away from the others and ran into the side of the runabout. LINCOLN'S SON OVERCOME. At Unveiling of Father's Statue Has to Be Helped From Platform. " Louisville, Ky.—Robert Todd Lincoln, sixty-six years old, president of the Pullman Sleeping Car Company, was so overcome by the heat at the close of the ceremonies attendant upon the unveiling of the statue of his father at Hodgenville, that it was necessary to help him to a carriage. He had traveled from Chicago to be present at the services, and had planned to make his first visit to the Lincoln Farm, Abraham Lincoln's birthplace.

Theme: The Lost Sense of Sin. Professor G. R. Smith, of Chicago University, in the reported discussions of the Baptist Congress, finds almost no place for the term sin in the theological thinking. His words are: "What does sin mean to the modern man? It certainly does not mean what our systematic theologians define it to mean. Sin is not thought of so much as an offense against God as it is an offense against men who deserve something better than to know oppression and greed. It is the social sins which make our blood hot today." Professor Smith would put sociology in place of theology. If the time comes when sanitation shall be perfect, poverty disappear, child labor be anything of the past, social comforts abound, then the term sin will be an obsolete word in our language. There is an utter remove between the teachings of the New Testament and those of the divinity department of Chicago University. Jesus dwelt on moral reconstruction, not on social changes. Two men out of three in the Roman empire were slaves; the sanitary arrangements in Jerusalem then and now were wretched; social injustice prevailed. Jesus had open eyes and a wise mind and a tender heart, but He emphasized the meaning of His ministry as that of saving lost men. Sin was a very real and serious thing to Him; He came to save men from it. A woman came from the slums, in Luke 7:17 Jesus forgefive her sins. Nicodemus came from the Sanhedrin, with fine social surroundings, Jesus insisted on the necessity of a cleansing and a changing. The prayer of the publican and the prayer of the prodigal alike—both of them the words of Jesus placed on him in the Garden of Gethsemane —sin. It was the penitence, the confession of sin that got hold of God's heart of mercy and brought forgiveness. A weakening of the sense, of sin as a wrong against God will of necessity weaken the desire for salvation, destroy the power of the cross, make the Christian life itself a superficial thing. If there be no sin, how can Jesus be a Saviour? why will men need a salvation? A man may wrong his neighbor; he can sin only against God. The true conception of sin appears in Psalm 51:4: Daydid had worsened his life; Daydid had worsened Wrath; had wronged Bathsheba; had wronged soley and the godly commonwealth; but his chief wrong was done to God. "Against Thee, Thee only, have I stained." A lost sense of sin will lead to a lost Christ. Principal Forgettie, in his "Positive Element in Preaching," declares that the weakness of modern preaching, its lack of effectiveness, is due to a diminishing sense of sin. Dr. Henry G. Norton said in print a few years ago that one of the things for which he was profundly thankful was that God had granted him a sense of his personal sinfulness. Large salutinsh always grows side by side with a large sense of sinfulness. The fundamental actor in the theology of right action is sin. If there be a superficial definition of sin, there will be alongside of this a superficial definition of the person and work of Jesus Christ; He will be not a Saviour; a Redeemer, but only a reformer of social wrongs. The urgent need in modern life is a clear view and profound conviction of sin as lawlessness against God. Until men are brought to see character and conduct and belief, in the light of their relations and responsibility to the Divine law, all social betterment will be but superficial and temporary. If there be a clear sense of sin against God there will be the accompanying sense of guilt, of condemnation, the felt need of an atonement of forgiveness. Wanted—A ministry, a preaching, in theology, that will restore a fading sense of sin! ANIMALS OF THE UNIVERSE Suppose that a row of telegraph posts, twenty-five thousand miles long, were erected around the earth at the equator—suppose that a wire were stretched upon these posts for this circuit of twenty-five thousand miles, and that then another complete circuit were taken with the same wire around the same posts, and then another, and yet another—in fact, let the wire be wound no fewer than seven times completely about this great globe—we should then find that an electric signal sent into the wire at one end would accomplish the seven circuits in one second of time. Telegraphing to the stars would, however, be a much more tedious matter. Take, first, the case of the very nearest of those twinkling points of light, namely, Alpha Centauri. The transmission of a telegraphic message to the distant sun would, indeed, tax the patience of all concerned. The key is pressed down, the circuit is complete, the message bounds off on its journey; it winds its way along the wire with that 'velocity sufficient to carry it one hundred and eighty, thousand miles in a single second of time. Even the nearest of the stars is, however, sunk into space to a distance so overwhelming that the message would be four years on the wire, before reaching its destination, and there are stars so remote that if the news of Christ's birth had been telegraphed from Bethlehem in A. D. J., it would now have been speeding on for nineteen hundred years without arriving. Yet it would take but eight minutes for a telegram to reach the sun. The Christian Work and Evangelist.

POPULAR SCIENCE The Chinese soya bean has been found to contain from fifteen to sixteen per cent. of oil suitable for soap making. Trudeau's classic experiment points us in the right direction. After inoculating a number of rabbits with tuberculosis he confined a number of them indoors and turned the others outdoor. The latter all recovered while the former all died. The August meteors, according to a leading astronomer, form a stream so broad that the earth, though it travels faster than eighteen miles a second, takes seven weeks to cross it. The electric furnace is capable of attaining a heat of 7200 degrees. This is a temperature that will melt almost every solid known. In comparison with this heat a red-hot bar of iron would be called cold. From extended experiments that have recently been made at Macon, Ga.; it has been found that a fine grade of paper can be made from pulp prepared from the okra, stem, and a plant for making paper from this source is likely to be erected in that city at an early date. Okra is easily grown in the Southern, States, and could be produced in large quantities, as a paper-making plant. The plant is an herb belonging to the mallow family, genus Hibiscus. Its botanical name is Hibiscus esculentus. About seventeen years ago Thomas A. Edison startled the world by carrying on telegraphic communication between a moving train and stations along the railroad without any wire connection therewith. The system employed was to mount a board covered with tinfolk edgewise on the car roof. The tinfolk formed part of a local telegraph circuit, which inductively affected the telegraph wires that paralleled the track, and in this way the messages were made to "leap" from the train to the telegraph lines. The recent experiments on a well known railroad where messages were exchanged between an operator on a fast-moving train and operators in Toledo, Elkhart and Chicago, were of a different character. The Hertzian waves were used, which transmitted the messages directly to the receiving stations, and not to the telegraph wires along the track. FALSE DAYLIGHT TRICKS HENS. Ingenious Iowa Scheme to Force Them to Lay an Extra Egg. Iowa farmers trick their hens into laying two eggs a day, according to testimony taken before Judge Hesley in the Circuit Court in Newark yesterday in a case in which Paul Mandeville, of Chicago, sued H. Koch & Co. to recover $232, the value of a carload of Missouri eggs, which was shipped instead of Iowa eggs, as alleged to have been ordered. J. Honeyman, an egg expert, stated Iowa eggs were smaller than those of Missouri, and Judge Helsley, who is a poultry fancier, asked the reason. "In that part of Iowa," said Mr. Honeyman, "the farmers have a scheme where hens are made to lay two eggs a day. They fool the hens—that is, they turn on electric lights in the chicken coops about 2 o'clock in the morning. The hens think the sun is up, and get busy. After they lay the lights are turned out, and the hens think the day is over. Then when daylight does arrive they lay another. The normal hen is very conscientious. On account of this double work the eggs are necessarily smaller." "The wonders of science will never cease," observed Judge Heisler. "Now I have some hens at home. Do you mean to tell me that if I bring one of my New Jersey hens to Missouri the hen will lay an egg that will differ from the one it lays here!" "Exactly," said the witness. "Missouri eggs, for instance, are brown, and the Iowa variety a peculiar white, and of an irregular shape, easily observed by the expert."—New York Times. The Black Rice. It is difficult to estimate how many of the Chinese have acquired the use of opium. Various estimates, according to E. W. Thwing, secretary of the International Reform Bureau, claim that a moderate figure would be between ten and twenty per cent. of the male population, or two and a half to five per cent. of the total population, It is said that in some places eighty per cent. of the adult males use opium, and at least one-tenth of the women. Before the present antioptum campaign began, there were over a thousand registered opium dens in the city of Foo-Chow alone. The Chinese often call opium the "black rice."—Dundee Advertiser. : Out of Form. Indeed. "President Taft likes golf," and he plays a fairly good game," said a Chevy Chase caddy. "A fairly good game, at least when he's in form. "He was out of form one day when he played here. He was just back from Cuba, and I guess the voyage had upset him. After some pretty bad work on the first two holes, he said apologetically to his caddy, a stranger from the East: "I'm certainly out of form to-day. I've been on a sea voyage, you see. It must have upset me." "Played before, have ye? said the caddy."—Washington Star SATURDAY, JUNE 12, 1909 Miss Nellie Green will leave Saturday for Newport, R.I.

If asked the question, the majority of housewives would say that the common clothespin was perfectly satisfactory in its present form. Nevertheless, a glance at the illustration below shows what a decided improvement can be made in these laundry accessories. The improved pin shown ```markdown ``` here resembles somewhat the clamps used by photographers to support wet prints while drying. They are made so that any number can be placed on a clothesline, being movable in either direction. The clothes are supported by small jaws, the grip being decidedly firmer than in the ordinary clothespin. In addition, the clothes do not come in direct contact with the clothesline and cannot become soiled, as is often the case with the ordinary line. They are also easier to handle, and after the clothes are removed are allowed to remain on the line. Columbia Rich in Platinum The platinum output of Colombia is second only to that of Russia.

Men and Mustaches. "In Europe," the barber said, "it is the fashion for men to wear their mustaches long and trained carefully at the ends, in which shape they must be looked after at the cost of much time and trouble. Here it is the fashion for men to wear their mustaches short, which may not be quite so pretty but is vastly more convenient and comfortable, and is characteristic of the country. It is doing away with surplusage and keeping the decks cleared for action. "No man who has had his mustache trimmed short once," the barber said, "would ever let it grow long again."—New York Sun. * Lorical Inference. Lord Lucas, who is so ably supporting Mr. Haldene in the Territorial scheme, tells a good story of a teacher in a Midland town noted for his patriotic fervor.

You Look Prematurely Old Beggars of Bombay. The nuisance caused by beggars in Bombay has assumed unbearable proportions. The orientals practice charity as a religious obligation and relieve poverty where they find it. Recitals from Kebit and Marabal never fall to touch the innermost chords of the natives with their innate reverence for spiritualism, and the fakir backs up his appeal for alms with profuse quotations from the poets. Then there are lay beggars and religious beggars, the ash besmeared ascetics who practice mendicancy as a hereditary profession. Last and not least are the unfortunate sufferers whom the loss of limbs or eyes or some fell disease disables for work and drives them to beggary as the last resource. These latter have a genuine claim on our charity, but as there are so few asylums in India for the halt, thealm and the blind the streets and byways of towns are flooded with beggars, pitiful types of suffering humanity—Rash Gaffar.

British Self-Possession Not long ago a young couple entered a railway carriage at Sheffield and were immediately put down as a bridal pair. But they were remarkably self-possessed, and behaved with such sang-froid that the other passengers began to doubt if their first surmise was correct after all. As the train moved out, however, the young man rose to remove his overcoat, and a shower of rice fell out, while the passengers smiled broadly. But even, that did not affect the youth, who also smiled, and, turning to his partner, remarked audibly: "By jove, May! I've stolen the bridegroom's overcoat!"—Tatler.

After he suffered with the trouble several weeks I took him to the doctor, but it got worse. The rash ran together and made large blisters. The little fellow didn't want to do anything but scratch and we had to wrap his hands up to keep him from tearing the flesh open till the blood would run. The itching was intense. The skin'on his back became hard and rough like the bark on a tree. He suffered intensely for about three months. But I found a remedy in Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.

CHURCH IN A-WINDMILL Cleared of Rats It Does Very Well at a Rent of 25 Cents a Year. Twelve years ago, when the villagers living off the borders of Relgate Heath, Surrey, England,' had no place of worship nearer than the parish church, a service was held in a schoolroom close by and was so well attended that the authorities looked around for a suitable permanent building. The erection of a church was out of the question, but there stood on the heath the remains, of an old mill, a picturesque feature in a beautiful bit of landscape. Inspection showed that once the rats were got rid of of a comparatively small outlay would furnish and render the mill fit for public worship, and soon it was opened as the Chapel of the Holy Cross. The interior of the chapel arouses interest, says the Wide World Magazine. Four buttresses, four feet thick by six feet in height, serve as rests for two massive beams which cross each other in the centre and support an upright shaft cracked with age and strongly bound with iron bands. The buttresses make four natural alcoves. The entrance door stands in one, and immediately opposite is the altar; the harmonium is placed in a third, and the bellringer sits close beside it and rings his bell; the fourth is occupied by the congregation. The rent of this novel church is only 25 cents a year. Chicago Branc Polish C The Only Polish Ip factured by a Every package is put up by colored people.

SITED WITH rs Loan and In- Company Elect Sherman, Grand Vice Chancellor. E. W. SHERMAN. Woman's Half Victory in Pittsburg The Old and the New Process in Stogy Making Show Woman's Place in Industry Ey William Hard ODAY, in the stogy factories of Pittsburg, there are 2,211 women and only 462 men. AND IN THREE PARTICULARLY LARGE "TRUST" FACTORIES, IN WHICH THE LAST WORD IN CHEAP, QUICK PRODUCTION HAS BEEN SPOKEN, THESE ARE 1,025 WOMEN AND EXACTLY TEN MEN. On the one hand there is the male hand-stogy-maker. He just takes tobacco leaves and, with his own hands, without the help of machines or even of tools (except a knife and a clip), constructs, all by himself, a complete smoke. It took him a long time to learn how to do that. On the other hand, the most nearly perfected type of the team-and-machine process, which is taking his place, and which makes of his single, complete operation a triple one. The girl who begins the process is not a stogy-maker at all. She is only a "bunch-breaker." With the help of her machine she gives the inside filler-leaves of the stogy their first outside covering, the "binder." The second outside covering, the "wrapper" is still to be put on. Then the half-dressed stogies, instead of being "shaped" deftly and delicately by the finger-tips of a craftsman, are rushed and squeezed into form by "molds" and "presses." The finishing touches are put on by a most ingenious machine called a "suction-table. It is full of little holes through which currents of air, sucked downward, straighten out the tobacco leaf, and hold it taut and flat while a die, descending, cuts it into exactly the right size. The "suction-table" (Mr. Ruskin would have called it a vampire) sucks the last few drops of blood from the art and craft of stogy-making. The girl at the "suction-table" takes the piece of tobacco designed for her by the machine and "rolls" it around the half-finished stogy, giving it its "wrapper" and thus completing it. TWO GIRLS AND THREE MACHINES HAVE NOW DONE WHAT ONE MAN DID BEFORE. THEY HAVEN'T DONE IT SO WELL, BUT THEY HAVE DONE IT FASTER AND CHEAPER. And there you have a little social revolution happening before your eyes. Women have driven men into a corner in the stogy trade in Pittsburg and they have done it through their natural affinity with the most modern, the most mechanical and automatic, the most simplified and cheapened factory processes. Of the 468 men in the stogy factories of Pittsburg, 168 are still complete hand-stogy-makers. Of the 2,211 women in the stogy factories of Pittsburg, only twelve have become hand-stogy-makers and they make Italian stogies, which are held together along the side with paste and have no finish at either end. The victory in Pittsburg, therefore, has been only a partial victory. Woman has got into industry, but not by excelling, or equalling, man's technique.—Everybody's. (Special.) Editor Tribune: Some days ago I read through your columns the announced candidacy of Sir Knight E.W. Sherman for the office of Grand Vice Chancellor. Later developments have proven that never, perhaps, was the announcement of a candidate for Pythian honors given a deeper feeling of obligation and gratitude to Pythians generally. Sherman's Pythian stewardship beautifully and faithfully portrayed by word and by act is to a marked degree the record of the advancement of the order to her rightful recognition among the other fraternal organizations of this state. That this step forward was taken in the path of varied obstacles, and as the result of indefatigable labors on the part of those high in council may be readily understood. You should also know that the high standard attained is not a little due to the generalship, devotion, eloquence and wisdom of Sir Kmght Sherman. And it is not alone as representative from Savannah—a rock bed of Pythianism enthusiasm and hustle, that Ed merits distinction among members of the Grand Lodge, but also as one of its ablest parliamentarians, endowed with special abilities for the most exacting and technical services of that august body. His sterling qualities, his unquestioned fitness as well as his pleasing personality and diplomatic tact command the recognition of the most eccentric and the confidence of the most skeptical.

As part evidence of his energetic and fruitful labors, several lodges have been instituted here and elsewhere with memberships aggregating many hundreds. As a scholar in the field of literature and original research and as a Pythian student, his thoroughness and ability won him a seat with the foremost luminaries of our magnificent order. Sherman possesses those commendable traits of character which have achieved success in many walks of life: an indomitable will power, a keen intuition by which to weigh men, a ceaseless energy, and enterprise and withal a love of work for work's sake. To this is divinely added a self-control and love of mankind that give him a peculiarly beautiful winsomeness. Against a foe he is a Boanerges; towards a friend, a Pythian to the manner born. That the faithful and sympathetic services of such an one should stimulate Pythian effort, as well as fascinate and entertain, is not surprising. Sir Kinghis, let us respond gracefully at the coming session of the Grand Lodge in Thomasville by electing as the next Grand Vice Chancellor Sir Kinght Edward W. Sherman, who is worthy of the greatest honors and richest rewards, and by this act shall we rid ourselves of the tormenting stings of a wounded conscience. You's in F.; C. & B., I. M. JACKSON.
