TAX ON CORPORATIONS President Taft Asks Congress to Amend Constitutions. INCOME TAX AMENDMENT Democrats Will Stand for Income Tax In Present Tariff Bill--Hard Fight Coming. Washington, D. C.—Recommending legislation looking to the placing of a 2 per cent tax on the net income of corporations, and also the adoption of an amendment to the constitution providing for the imposition of an income tax without apportionment among the several states, President Taft sent to congress a message embodying his views on the subject. This action followed a protracted special meeting of the cabinet. In his message the president speaks of the apparent inability or congress to agree to an inheritance tax, and, as regards an income tax, he refers to the disposition of the supreme court in the case of Pollock, the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company, in which the court held the tax to be unconstitutional unless apportioned according to population. "It is," says the president, "undoubtedly a power which the government ought to have. It might be indispensable to the nation's life in great crises." The amendment, therefore, he declares, was the only proper course. Such an amendment to the constitution, he contended, was preferable to the one proposed of reviving a law finally declared to be unconstitutional. The amendment which he proposes to be made to the tariff bill provides for the imposition upon all corporations and joint stock companies for profit, except national banks (otherwise tax), savings banks and buildings and loan associations, of an exe tax of 2 per cent upon the net income of such corporations. This tax, it is said by him, will bring an annual revenue of $25,000,000. "This tax he says," he declares, "property," he says, "and is within the federal power without apportionment according to population." The president points out that another merit to the tax on corporations is the federal supervision, which will give to the government, the stockholders and the public knowledge of the real business transactions and the gains and profits of every corporation in the country. The adoption of the amendment, he says, will make a long step "toward the suppressive control of corporations which may prevent a further abuse of power." The message concludes: "I recommend then, first, the adoption of a joint resolution by two-thirds of both houses, proposes to the states granting the federal government the right to levy and collect an income an, amendment to the constitution tax without apportionment among the states according to population; and, second, the enactment, as part of the pending revenue measure, either as a fee, or in addition to, the filiteration tax upon all corporations, measured by 2 per cent of their incomes." The message was referred to the finance committee. Five progressive republican senators, Messrs. Borah, Bristow, Cummins, LaFollette and Clapp, conferred to determine what their attitude is to be in the fact of President Kraft's special message to congress favoring the submission of the question to the states for a constitutional amendment and the enactment of a law taking the net earnings of corporations. They decided that the president's plan is not inconsistent with their demands for the adoption of an amendment taxing incomes, and that both may be adopted in harmony. They assume that the president's plan, indorsed by leading republicans on the finance committee, is designated to "chloroform" the income tax amendment, but, nevertheless, and announce that they will continue the light for its adoption. What the position of the democrats in the senate will be when President Ted's program is submitted for a vote has not been determined. 5,000 RUSSIANS KILLED: Troops Slay Tribesmen in Northern Russia in Uprising. St. Petersburg, Russie.—Dispatches from Tabriz, northern Russia, received here, state that Russian forces have taken a hand in the Shaksavien uprising in the Ardabil district in Azadzhadian, where 5,000 persons have been reported killed. Fifteen troops of Russian mountain cavalry with two Maxim rapid-fire guns, have been dispatched from the Russian frontier against the Shaksavien tribesmen. They were sent in response to appeals made upon the consul by leading citizens of the province. $50,000 VANISHES. Orange Disappearance of Registered Mail Pouch. Los Angeles, Cal.—Postoffice authorities are here hunting a clew to the disappearance of a registered mail polich, containing $50,000, which disappeared between this city and Bizbee, Ariz. The missing bag contained, two registered packages from the First National Bank of Los Angeles to the Bank at Bizbee. These were placed in the office and Bizbee was notified by wire. Later word here that the pouch had failed to reach Bizbee. The investigation showed that there was evidence of the registered bag having put on the train here. The Savannah Tribune. SAVING MONEY FOR UNCLE SAM. A1 Government Departments Trying to Reduce Expenses. Washington, D. C.—Every government, department in Washington is doing its utmost at this time to cut its estimates for the next fiscal year to the very lowest possible notch. The official year of 1909 comes to an end on June 30. On that day all balances must be struck and new accounts opened for the year 1910. The heads of many of the bureaues have been their wits' ends for months past trying to get things in such shape that they might consistently recommend a decrease in the expenditures of their work for the next year, but many of them freely admit that they cannot do so without either working a hardship on the employees or impairing the character of the work turned out. The navy department, through Secretary Meyer, has already informed President Taft that $10,000,000 will be cut from the expenses of that department for the coming year, and Secretary Dickinson will try to do even better and make his saving at least $15,000,000 or $20,000,000. Then there is the department of agriculture, the treasury, the department of commerce and labor, the interior department, and others which will come into line before the present month ends, and show that one way or another they have been able to cut down government expenditures greatly during the next year in the respective departments. The army, the navy and the department of agriculture are the three most expensive of all the government departments, and with the assurance that these have materially cut their expense account for the next year there will no doubt be easier breathing in administration circles. The government deficit, which has been growing larger from day to day, has given no small amount of concern to members of congress and others who are pledged to devise ways and means for running the government. The estimates that will be submitted to congress this winter by the various cabinet officers will be further cut when the various committees take hold of them. It is feared that the cut may have been carried too far. A larger and more effective army and navy may never be had with the cry always on virtuous men, but no one wishes to see the government further hampered by debt, too vigorous a use of the pruning knife may, in the opinion of some, prove disastrous. A deduction of $20,000,000 from the army and navy alone, to say nothing of the cuts in the other departments, will probably result in a slow and unprogressive program of advancement for many years to come. One of the most difficult problems ever known will probably be getting more money from congress than has been recommended for expenditure in the different departments. Wm. J. BRYAN. Jr.. TO WED. Son of Democratic Leader Will Marry June 24th. Milwaukee, Wis.—William Jennings Bryan, Jr., and Miss Helen Berger, daughter of Alexander Berger, well known throughout the northwest as a grain dealer, will be married Thursday, June 24.

As a girl, Mrs. Mayo, and Blackwell were sweethearts. She married another man, and was ten years ago left a widow. Some years later she nursed Blackwell through an illness. Neway Paragraphs. Truck shipments to the north from South Carolina have practically come to an end, after an average season. Tomatoes are now being shipped, but this business will close soon also: A reunion of brother and sister after forty-two years of separation, has made a red letter day for one Chicago family. Charles Fisher left Alaska with a fortune after five years of arduous toll, determined to find long lost relatives. He went first to New York, where his investigation directed him to the home of Mrs. J. P. Clyens in Chicago, his sister. A sensation was created in the English house of commons when a member practically made an appeal for the assassination of the czar of Russia when he visits England. Man Fell Over Half Mile Berkwyn, Neb—An inventor dropped 3,500 feet in a crippled aeroslane here. He was not seriously hurt. The amateur aviator was U. Sorenson, a blacksmith. Sorenson, in view of several hundred fellow townsmen, made the ascent in a balloon, and then attempted a descent in an aeroslane that he had constructed. When the desired height had been reached he cut the aeroslane loose. Sorenson was unable to guide the machine, and it began to descend at a terrible speed, turning over and over as it dropped. The aeroslane was demolished, but Sorenson landed in a sitting posture, and was not seriously injured. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1909. CENTRAL OF GA.RY.SOLD Georgia Line Is Bought By the Illinois Central. STEAMSHIP LINES INCLUDED The Central of Georgia Was Controlled By E. H. Harriman and the Illinois Central Is a Harriman Line. New York City.-The Aile of the Central of Georgia Railway to the Illinois Central Railroad, carrying out plans forecasted more than a year ago was announced. The transactions originated in negotiations culminating in November, when the entire capital stock of the Georgia passed into the hands of William Nelson Cromwell and John W. Castley. The purchaser, it was announced a few months later, was E. H. Harriman, whose intention, it was then stated, was to transfer it to the Illinois Central. The price paid by the Illinois Central was not given out. Announcement of the transfer was made in this city by John F. Hanson of Atlanta, president of the Central of Georgia. The price paid by Mr. Harriman for the stock, to the par value of $5,000,000, it was stated, was $3,000,000, or at the rate of $60 per share. The entire capital stock of the Central of Georgia Railway was originally held by the reorganization company of Richmond and West Point Terminal Railroad and Warehouse Company. In June, 1907, the stock was sold to Oakleigh Thorne of New York, and Marsden J. Perry of Providence, R. I., who agreed to retain voting control for at least two years. It was from these genius men that the swell, casles secured the stock and they sold it to Mr. Harriman. The transfer of the Central of Georgia carries with it the control of two steamship lines, one from Savannah to New York, and the other from Savannah to Boston, operated by the Ocean Steamship Company. The Central of Georgia operates a little over 1,900 miles of road. Its system touches of the Illinois Central at Birmingham, GA. Padded Harman left for Georgia to arrange for physical transfer of the Georgia Central to Illinois Central. Atlanta, Ga.—Major J. F. Hanson, president of the Central of Georgia Railway, is in New York, and at his offices in the Candler building, no additional information could be secured. It is recalled that the Southern, recently, sold its stock in this road to Oakleigh Thorne, who sold it subsequently to Mr. Harriman, who also sold it to the Harriman and Illinois Central Railroad, with which the Central connects in Birmingham, and which gives Mr. Harriman an ocean-to-ocean system. BUMPER CROPS. Secretary Wilson Says Wheat Yield Will Be A Large One. Chicago, Ill.—James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, en route from Tama, Iowa, his home, for Washington, passed through here. He has made an investigation as to the crop outlook in the west and expressed the opinion that there is every outlook for good times for the farmer. "I cannot say anything about a new "Patten deal," if there is another one coming," said Secretary Wilson. "The crop prospects are excellent and the farmers have been rejoicing over what they think will be a record-breaking year. "In summing up the wheat situation it is largely a question of weather. If wet weather continues too long the harvest, will be delayed, and, of course, delay the market. "I have not been south and know only the condition by reports, but I understand that in some parts the harvesting has already commenced, and this I take to be another favorable outlook. The harvest has been a "wife delayed by the rains in the wilderness building" and the only thing that can be said is that it looks favorable all over the country." "AMERICAN SUFFRAGETTE." First Number of New Organ of Militant Woman Suffrage Party. New York City.—With "Vote for Women" printed across the cover, the first number of the "American Suffragette," the new organ of the militant woman suffrage party in this country, was placed on sale. Five cents is the price and issues will be monthly. The cover is yellow, the suffragette color, and carries the announcement: "For the long work day; "For the taxes we pay; "For the laws we obey; "We want something to say." Mrs. Sophia Loebinger is managing editor of the paper. BAPIST WON'T BAR FOSTER They Reiterate Their Belief in Doctrines Attacked by Professor times Attacked by Professor. Chicago, Ill.—The Baptist minister's conference, by a vote of 37 to 14, decided against expelling from membership Professor George Burman Foster University of Chicago. whose published utterances on religious subjectae have been criticised by Baptist ministers as being heretical and not orthodox. The adopted resolution is a reaffirmation by the ministers of their allegiance to the Baptist Church of their belief in the delity of Christ, the Bible and the cardinal doctrines of orthodoxy, regardless of the beliefs of Professor Foster. THE COTTON ACBEAGE The Decrease Will Probably Be About Five Per Cent. New Orleans, La.—The Times-Democrat, in publishing its first report of the cotton crop of 1909, summarized conditions as follows: "There has been a moderate decrease in acreage—probably about 5 per cent. "Taking the belt as a whole, the condition of the plant leaves much to be desired. "The supply of labor is fairly adequate, as a rule, though there is a good deal of complaint in some sections. Among the reports from the cotton belt of unusual features is the following from Austin, Texas: "That central Texas is without a cotton crop, with half of the month of June gone by, may be a state of affairs difficult to imagine, yet such is the case, and to farmers of this section it is a sad reality. "This is generally admitted throughout the rural precincts, and it is believed that the same conditions exist throughout the state and most of the southwest. The state department of agriculture in this city confirms this statement. In fact, there is so little cotton in the ground that a comparison between the acreage, of this year and that of last is next to impossible. About the only cotton well grown at the present time has been raised almost exclusively by the 'hot house' method." Memphis, Tenn.—The Commercial Appeal, reviewing crop conditions, says: Excessive rainfall has caused much grass in cotton fields east of the Mississippi river. "The weather of the last week was fair and hot, however, and much progress was made in cultivation. Another week of bright, warm weather is needed to put the crop in good shape. Worst reports are received from Mississippi, where until last week, the rains were very heavy, bringing the uplands and flooding the lowlands in the state has decreased as a result. West of the Mississippi the crop is in fair condition, reports from Oklahoma and Texas being excellent. The rainfall west of Arkansas and Louisiana, except along the coast of Texas, has not been excessive. Parts of Texas is denilent in moisture, but the plants look well and is growing. The plant generally is smaller than it is in the other areas with grass or submerged, is healthy. Showers in Texas and Oklahoma would be beneficial, while fair weather is needed elsewhere. RESTORE LIQUOR BY REVOLUTION. This is Prediction of Speaker at the Liquor Convention. Atlantic City, N. J.—"Members of the trade may differ in their opinions of what is whisky? yet there is one common ground on which all can stand shoulder to shoulder, namely: fighting the aggression of anatomical prohibition," said G. F. Deletere of Chicago, president of the National Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association, in his report, which was read here at the annual convention of the association. He devoted much of the report to the work of the association in counteracting the prohibition wave. A. J. Sunstein of Pittsburgh, in an address, declared his belief that the people of the country who favor open access to the production of the prohibition power of the prohibition movement until the liquor interests have been entirely slaughtered. He stated his belief that there would be a revolt, which would destroy all the results obtained by the reformers. He insisted, however, that the growing broadness of the public generally along with the power of the combined liquor interests, might save the liquor upon before the final annihilation, and advised general organization for the fight. The speaker also accused the anti-saloon and prohibition forces of "using the methods of ring politicians to secure the state and district victories which they have gained." BIG SMUGGLING PLOT. Inspectors Discovered Nine Nude Chinamen on Steamship. Seattle, Wash. — Immigration officials, after picking up on the wharf a stray Chinese, who admitted that he came over a stowaway on the Great Northern Inner Minnesota, searched the vessel and discovered nine more smuggled coolies and a quantity of silk and cigars. Inspector C. E. Keagey, who is a heavy man, stepped into the sail locker of the steamer and fell twenty feet through a hole in the floor, alighting squarely on top of nine nude Chinese. Further investigation to light several leather goods resembling government mall pouches, filled with raw silk and a number of boxes of expensive Manila cigars. The bags of silk are supposed to have been taken aboard with the mail sacks. Her hair catching in the shaft of a washing machine at her home in Portersville, Pa., Mrs. John L. Marshall was literally scaled. Much of her clothing was torn off and she received severe bruises and cuts. For the first time in the history of the organization, a woman was elected head of the National Conference of Challies and Corrections, that honor being conferred on Miss Jane Addams of Chicago. A. J. McKelway of Atlanta was elected a member of the executive committee. Two men named Woody and English, entombed in a cave-in at the mica mine in Mitchell county, North Carolina, were found forty-eight hours later. Woody was dead and English died in a few hours. JAPS WANT PROTECTION Yellow Peril in Hawaii HasTaken International Turn. APPEAL TO THE MIKADO Editor of Japanese Paper Alleges That His Rights were Violated when His Office Was Raided. Honolulu, Hawaii.-The situation growing out of the indictment by the grand jury of the seventeen leaders in the strike of the Japanese plantation laborers was given an international turn when M. Negoro of the editorial staff of The Jiji, a local Japanese publication, who was taken into custody when the office of that paper was raided by the authorities made formal complaint to the Japanese foreign office at Tokio of the violations of his treaty rights. The alleged violation of his rights, as a Japanese subject, guaranteed under the treaty between the United States and Japan, he sets forth in his complaint, consists in the search of his office and the seizure of his private papers and documents by the territorial authorities without due process of law. Territorial Sheriff William Henry admits that the search and seizure was made by-force of arms, and without search warrants, or process of law, but claims that the papers selzed contained evidence of criminal purpose, and that the courts of the territory are open to Negoro for redress if he has been damaged. Negoro was rearrested, together with Y. Sogo, Y. Tasaka and K. Kawamura, the editorial staff of the Nippon and the Jiji police department, returned by the grand jury charging them with conspiring by indirect, sinister and unlawful methods and means of intimidation, inciting to riot, and threatened violence to prevent and hinder the Honolulu Oahu, Ewa, Walalua and Kahuku plantations from carrying on their business. M. Negoro, together with Y. Sogo, Y. Tasaka and K. Kawamura, the last three named being members of the editorial staff of Nippu, another Japanese paper, which has taken a prominent part in the strike agitation, were each listed for ball in the sum of $1,250, pending the furnishing of bonds or cash bail, and all four are in jail. M. Negoro is preparing to bring court proceedings against the territory for $500,000 damages, claiming that his rights as a Japanese subject were invaded when High Sheriff William Henry raided the offices of The Jilj, of which Negoro is editor, and seized alleged documents. PREDICTS ALL-SUMMER FIGHT. Senator Clay Talks of the Session of Congress. Washington, D. C.—"We will surely be here until the 1st of August, and probably until the 1st of September," said Senator Clay of Georgia, respecting the session of congress. He had just concluded reading the newspaper report of the action of the senate finance committee with reference to the portions of the tariff bill which had remained unacted upon. "I observe," he said, "that the committee has placed a tariff on hides and also on cotton bagging and cotton ties. We of the south are not so much concerned about the duty on hides, but New England need not think that she can tax our people on ties and bagging without hearing from us. Of far, we have remained very quiet in the present debate, but unless I am much mistaken, the democratic senators will be heard from this time on. The duty on bagging alone will cost our people at least five million dollars a year, and we will not submit without a protest." TWO LEADERS MEET. Ty Cobb and President Taft Engage Engage in a "Joshing" Match. Washington, D. C.—The Detroit baseball team, champions of the American League, was received by President Taft in the east room of the white house. Each member of the club was introduced to the president by Representative Denby of Michigan, whose home is in Detroit. When "Ty" Cobb, who led the league in batting last season, was presented to him, the president grasped the hand of the Georgian warmly and said: "I believe you and I are fellow citizens of Augusta, Mr. Cobb." Cobb modestly replied that he was promised a be a citizen of Augusta and a fellow citizen of Augusta. "The only difference between us," responded the president, with a broad grin, "is that down there they think you are about twice as big a man as I am." MARK TWAIN'S ADVICE TO GIRLS "Don't Smoke; Don't Drink; Don't Marry—To Excess." Baltimore, Md.-Mark Twain came to Baltimore to talk to the girl graduates of St. Timothy's school. Following Edward F. Martin of New York, he said that as Mr. Martin had advised them as to what they should do, he could only tell them what they should not do. There are three things, young ladies, I advise you not to do. Don't smoke—that is, don't smoke to excess. I am 73 12 years old and I have smoked only 73 years of that time. "Don't drink—that is, don't drink to excess. "Don't marry—I mean to excess." LATE NEWS NOTES. Theodore Selling, who is proprietor of a small restaurant in Chicago, received a telegram from the officials of the hospital, where his wife was a patient, in which he was informed that his wife was dead. He at once engaged an undertaker and a priest and the body was taken to the cemetery, where the funeral took place. Later, Mr. Selling received a second communication from the hospital authorities advising him that his "wife is feeling better," and asking him to call and see her. Now, the husband and hospital authorities are endeavoring to ascertain the identity of the woman buried as the wife of Selling. Mrs. George Shea, who notified the Seattle, Wash., police that on May 30, $20,000 which she had concealed until stolen while she was working a raid, which was passing her sister's home, has received $15,000 in a letter signed, "Two Thieves." The writers of the letter say they used $5,000 to furnish their home, and having no use for the remainder of the money, returned it to the owner. One of the highest authorities in the automobile trade gives it as his opinion that the value of the output for the current year will reach the studendous figure of $125,000,000. This is the product of one hundred and fifty-three factories, one hundred of which are operated on a large scale and manufacture all but a small portion of the machines. The same authority places the value of the plants which turn out these machines at $300,000,000: In a decision handed down the supreme court of Mississippi declared that no beverage can be sold in the state that contains any percentage whatever of alcohol. This decision will stop the sale of "near-beer" in Mississippi. Lleutenant Ernest H. Shackleton, leader of the south pole expedition, which attracted much attention recently, arrived in London, England, with several members of his party and was welcomed by the president and members of the Royal Geographical society. The Carnegie Foundation has awarded an annual pension of $855 to Professor Charles Edwin Loos, of Transylvania university who retires at the age of 85 years. Professor Loos has been a teacher in American colleges for sixty years and once was president of Transylvania, in which lately he has been professor of Latin and Greek. In an old safe bought at a public sale over thirty years ago Nathaniel Conway of Sussex county, Delaware, has found a fortune. At the time of his retirement密切 attached the gate to his stable and left it unopened. Last week, with hammers and other tools, he broke the lock. Gold coins of various denominations rolled out on the floor. He refused to say how much coin he found. The production of a white strawberry which bears all the year round, instead of at certain seasons only, is claimed by Hugo H. Lilenthad, a Berkeley, California, horticulturalist. He is a German, who has produced various creations of an unusual kind in the way of fruit and flowers. The white strawberry, his most recent creation, is the result of a long series of experiments with crossing varieties under different conditions. Lilenthal claims to have produced two distinct varieties of berries, which will bear through the full year, making a Christmas berry easily obtained. Washington. Although facing the possibility of a scandal that may overshadow the one attending the exposure of conditions in the Chicago packing houses, Secretary Wilson has issued orders to investigate fully and thoroughly the charges made by former Inspector J. F. Harms, who declared the inspection in the East St. Louis packing establishments to be a farce. The state department officialsAdvice from Venezuela cleared up the mystery of the steamer Nanticooko and tug Dispatch, suspected of filibustering, showing they were purchased by Venezuela. The department of justice has ordered its agents to abandon their observations of the vessel and to return to Washington. The navy department has sacked for blds for the construction of two twenty-six thousand-ton battleships—the Arkansas and the Wyoming—which, when completed, will be largest fighting ships in the world. The vessels will include the latest developments in battleships of the dreadnaught type and will carry twelve twelve-inch guns, being two more than any other aftow. They are to be mounted in turrets on the center line, so that they may be fired either dead ahead or broadside. The vessels are to be equipped with turbine engines and are to be faster than any battleship in the navy. Every ship-building company on both coasts is invited to bid. Army engineers state that such an accident as occurred recently in the Soo locks will never happen in the isthmian canal. A careful study has been made of the locks with a view of preventing all accidents that might put the canal out of commission for any period. Passenger elevators on battleships for the use of officers, is the latest innovation in the United States navy. The new battleships Florida, Utah, Delaware and North Dakota each will be equipped with three automatic electric elevators, capable of lifting five hundred pounds. They will be installed between the lower-handling in the fire room to the gun deck and will make the trip in above-seconds. Largest Sick and Death Benefits; Smallest Premiums.

R. E. Paoli UCH has been said and written about the Black Hand and other undesirable emigrants, but no remedy has been suggested whereby this class of undesirable persons can be prevented from entering our country. I think I can suggest a remedy. M Congress should enact a law making it compulsory for a person emigrating from a foreign country to this country to produce a certificate from the place whence he comes, duly attested by one of the highest officials of said place, where he has either resided or been domiciled, that he is a person of good character and has been self-supporting and never been convicted of a crime; and after such certificate has been given to the emigrant and presented here to the immigration commissioners or officials of the United States where he intends to or does land, the same shall be duly reaffirmed by the oath and signature of such person that the facts contained in the certificate are true, then and then only shall he or she be permitted to land. If it is otherwise discover- or ascertained that such declaration is false, then such oath so taken by said person shall be deemed perjury under the laws of the district in which the emigrant lands or makes his residence or domicile, and he shall be prosecuted by the criminal branch of the United States District Court in the district in which he lands or makes his residence or domicile, and he shall be punished in accordance with the laws in such case made and provided. The mere deportation of an undesirable emigrant is insufficient to check the evil results that follow by emigrants that are undesirable being permitted to land. The laws on deportation can still exist and will not be affected by the law as above suggested or a similar law that might be enacted by Congress. Any person, whether a born or naturalized citizen or an alien, cannot find fault with a law of this character, because such a law will elevate the country from which the emigrant comes as well as elevate the emigrant himself in the community where he intends to make his residence or domicile.

It is, as its name shows, a copper kettle, or basin, covered over with skin, which can be tightened or loosened by screws placed around the edge. Drums of this shape were used by the Roman, and even earlier by the Greeks and Etruscans. But they were not known in Western Europe before the Crusades. T Although it may appear so, the kettle drum is not at all an easy instrument to manage. For, in order to get each of the four notes the player has to turn all the screws, and adjust the parchment anew. For this reason kettle drums are often used in pairs, one tuned to the key note, the other to the fourth below. In this way the drummer has always the two chief notes in the scale to work upon, and, if the composer has not exacted much from him, he will have quite an easy time. But when a change of key is approaching, it is quite exciting to watch the drummer screwing and unscrewing the drum and lightly tapping to hear if the pitch is true. And if we recollect that he often has to tune his drum while the whole orchestra is lifting up its voice, we realize that he must be no mean musician; that he must possess an exquisitely-sensitive and well-trained ear, and a steady hand and nerve as well.—From St. Nicholas.

WHERE THE VARIOUS CUTS OF BEEF COME FROM. It is as essential that a housekeeper be instructed in everything pertaining to the various branches of her housework as it is indispensable for a man to be efficiently equipped for the particular business which he follows every day of his life. To her is given the care of the home, and not the least important part of this its finances. One of the most important points in this regard is that the housewife should market economically. This does not mean buying on a cheap scale—anyone can do that—but a judicious purchasing of all requisite a.t.les. The most economical buyer is the one who gets the greatest returns for the least expenditure, and these returns should be in quality even more than in quantity. As meat forms the greater share of any one food, and as its cost generally averages the highest, it behooves the housekeeper to look well to her meat bills. If these are larger than she would wish to have them, nothing but sagacious buying will reduce them. RUMP STEAK MIDDLEBONE PARTER KNOWE ROUND PLANK PLATE LEG NAVEL FOR GROUND WHERE THE VARIOUS CU and this can only be accomplished by a more or less thorough knowledge of the various cuts of meat, the location, and their values as blood and tissue builders for the human system. Beef, lamb and mutton form the staples of meat diet, and as beef is consumed in the greatest quantity, it has been thought advisable to prepare the illustration on this page, marking it off as a chart. So much attention is paid to-day to scientific cooking, and there are so many ways, through the magazines and papers, for the average woman to keep herself informed, that it is inexcusable for any except the most inexperienced housekeeper not to have an intelligent knowledge of the choice and inferior cuts of meat. Few housekeeping articles, however, touch on the very important subject of meat, that is, in its initial stage, or from a point where the butcher cuts it into large sections to be set aside until special cuts are taken from each. The accompanying illustration, therefore, will prove most interesting to the woman who wishes to add to her store of knowledge on this subject.—American Home Monthly. A Missouri Tragedy.

An old Cingiaeese woman, who lived in an ordinary native hut by herself, died and was buried. On the following day a large liguana (a species of lizard which attains great-size) entered the compound of a gentleman living close by and attacked his poultry. Hearing the noise and commotion he came out, and on ascertainting the cause got his gun and shot the liguana. No sooner had he done this than there arose a great uproar from the relatives of the old woman, who declared that he had killed her, because her spirit had passed into the lizard, in proof of which they pointed triumphantly to the fact that it had never before been seen in the vicinity and only appeared after her death. Rupees finally appeased the outraged feelings of the old woman's descendants.—Java Times. Music Leaf Turner. Among recent patented devices is an ingenious apparatus for turning the leaves of music, designed by a Pennsylvania man. Numerous attempts have been made to devise a music leaf turner, but none has as TS OF BEEF COME FROM. yet proved practical. At least we do not see orchestras or bands using any of them. The one shown in the illustration certainly seems practical in every way. At the same time its operation is very simple. It can be used in connection with any of the ordinary music stands generally employed for the purpose. Attached to the frame is a receptacle containing the operating mechanism. Extending from the receptacle are six or more rods, which are bent at right ```markdown ``` angles and end in fingers. The latter when in position rest on each successive page of the music. Depending from the operating mechanism is a rubber tube and bulb, the latter resting on the ground close to the musician's foot. When the musician has reached the end of the page and desires to continue on the next, he presses the bulb with his foot, and the first page of music is turned over. On each successive page he does the same, each finger in turn forcing the next page over—Washington Star. The Farm Bacteria in Milk. Milk may be-heated and the bacteria contents killed in this way, but the pasteurizing temperature does not kill all the bacteria and a higher temperature necessary to sterilize renders it more or less indigestible. Not all forms of bacteria are harmful, in fact, some of them are necessary. The trouble is they are so small it is impossible to get personally acquainted with them, so cannot tell our friends from our enemies.—Epitomist. Dairying Not Overdone. There are so many by-products from the dairy that the business of dairying can never be overdone. Besides milk, butter and cheese, we have powdered milk, which may be shipped at little expense and kept for weeks in good condition, and other constituents of milk which are being exploited in commercial ways for the manufacture of artificial ivory, paints and a good many other commodities that until recently have never been associated with dairy work.—Epitomist. Fast Walking Horses. It is claimed by those who have trained many horses that, taking the colt when training first begins, they can be trained to walk over four miles per hour. The walking gait is the most important one to the farm and road horses. The mistake with many in training young horses is, that they are too soon put to trotting, which is a gait they more readily learn than fast walking. A farmer who has long trained his own colts to fast walking tells us that his horses with the corn cultivator do one-half more work in the corn field than the horses of his neighbor that were never trained to a rapid walk. In these times of scarce help on the farm that is an important consideration. It is only a question of a little patience and persistence in training colts or young horses to walk fast..if they are well bred. Good breeding comes in here as well as in other things, as a well bred horse can be trained in any gait better than others. —Indiana Farmer. Selling Soil Fertility. Everything we sell from the farm represents a certain amount of soil fertility. The one exception, perhaps, is butter. It is difficult to trace butter fat as a direct drain on the soil. It is said that a ton of wheat removes between eight and ten dollars' worth of soil fertility, and that the farmer never gets it back. Of course, there are ways or placing it by the proper rotation and stock raising, but the dairy farmer who sells butter or cream, stops the leak before it happens. The difference is the wheat farmer sells, the raw material, while the dairy farmer sells only the finished product in the shape of butter, and pork, if he feeds hogs, or cattle, if he raises calves with the skim milk. If part of the skim milk is fed to chickens, so that eggs and poultry are sold, the manufacturing process is carried still further and the material sold off the farm carries a very small percentage of fertility with it, in fact, the raising of the poultry supplies more fertility than is sold a good many times over.—Epitomist. Fat and Partially Fat Sheep. It is altogether probable that many stockmen will feed sheep this fall for the first time, and they may not be acquainted with all the conditions leading to the best and most promising situation in feeding lines. The first thing to determine will be what to buy, says the Homestead. Will it be thin sheep, or that those carry more flesh? Thin sheep will gain more than fat ones, the general thrift of the two-classes being equal. Thin ewes will gain from coe-fourth to one-third more than those in good flesh, and this probably explains why the thin, good-mouthed ewes are sought more than those in better condition. It is a well-known fact among sheep feeders that females finish much more quickly than males, although thin two or three-year-old wethers will make rand gains. We have said that thin sheep will take on flesh faster than the sheep that is in good order, and we may say that it will require more time to finish them than those that are partially fat. Young lambs usually require more time to finish than older sheep, because they grow considerably under fattening conditions before they begin to finish. Old Western sheep are harder than lambs, and this will hold true in the field as well as in the feed lot. Old sheep are not nearly so liable to gorge themselves on green feed or so liable to over-eat while in the feed lot. The feeder should make up his mind that when he is feeding thin sheep it will be necessary to feed them a long time. If sheep are to be fed only a short time, they should be partially fat when purchased. Thin ewes can be started by turning them in corn fields, grazing them on good pasture and by feeding fodder. Intelligence of Ants. If Dr. Howard, the chief of the Bureau of Entomology of the Department of Agriculture, were not well known over at least two continents as an eminently practical scientist, whose intelligent and aggressive work has saved from bug ravages millions of dollars' worth of agricultural produce, his story of the intelligence of ants, as observed in the greenhouses of the department, were certainly cohesion to the "nature faking" class. But knowing the doctor's hard-headed successes the possible imputation falls to the ground. As the story goes, one of the greenhouses of the department is frequented in considerable numbers by a medium sized black ant, attracted by the presence of mealy bugs and plant lice on the hot-house plants. As is well known ants are especially fond of the nectar secreted by those insects. Some years ago a colony of Liberian coffee trees were started in the greenhouse. At the hases of the leaves of these coffee trees can be found very small nectar-secreting glands. The ants soon discovered this and slipped the nectar. Then the idea seemed to occur to some clever ant that these nectar glands would be the best place in the world for the mealy bugs to live and grow fat and in consequence secrete a great deal more nectar than they would if left on other parts of the leaves. But the nectar glands on the coffee tree leaves were each too small to accommodate even one mealy bug. So the word was passed around and the ants gnawed the edges of the glands and enlarged them so that each would support a good-sized mealy bug, which the ants then carried to it. The mealy bug throne exceedingly. The gland was enlarged still further and a whole family of mealy bugs was raised in the same hole. Thus a custom grew up and many such greatly enlarged glands were found in a few months, the ants reaping a plentiful supply of their beloved nectar. Here then, said Dr. Howard, was an ant apparently taking advantage of an opportunity which was not only to the experience of the individual but new to the experience of the race, and if we adopt the most reasonable of the definitions of instinct, there seems to have been displayed intelligence of a high order. —Indiana Farmer. The New Strawberry Bed. Considering the ease with which a small bed of strawberries can be grown we wonder why more farmers do not grow them. We read of renewing old strawberry beds, which is all right, if it is the best one can do, but owing to insect enemies and other causes I would not recommend the renewal of an old bed for the ordinary farmer. We change the bed from year to year, here and there over the garden, trying to get as far away from insect pests and fungus diseases as possible. As soon as we plow for garden truck we plow enough for the new bed. We lay off the bed in rows four feet apart with the garden hand cultivator; in this way we back up a loose spot every three feet, as we would for a cabbage plant, only larger. We then go to last year's bed, which by the way is young and has never fruited, and dig up good hardy plants, and when we can find enough of them, we dig those that are not going to bloom, for they will at once produce runners instead of the bloom. We like to have a hunk of dirt to each plant. If conditions are favorable we do not water when setting, if otherwise we water them as set. We use a pan or shallow box to carry the plants from the old to new bed. If for some reason we delay our bed until the fruit is set on plants, we clip off runners and fruit stems. We cultivate frequently with hand hoe and one-horse cultivators; good cultivation means much towards success. We throw the runners around for awhile, then allow them to set, between the rows, and widen as the season advances. When several runners get set, it will necessitate pulling out by hand some of the weeds. We experimented some with varieties, but soon found two varieties which suited us and stayed with them. One of these deserves especial attention; it is a seedling which originated near here, and was named by the originator, "Hoosler." It has very heavy foliage, is hardy, runners freely, very large berries, abundant bearer, the berries are of excellent quality, but are strictly a "home use" berry as they are not firm enough to ship. One season, four square rods yielded fifty-three gallons.—Abraham Bros., in the Indiana Farmer. Farm Notes. Why is it that so many farmers neglect to provide water for their hogs?* Hogs need a drink occasionally when they want it, just the same as anybody else. The scratching shed does not require to be anything elaborate. Any old building may be utilized for this purpose just so there is plechy 'of sunshine, no winds, and a dry floor. Give hens an extra allowance of grain at night, scratching it amongst the Hitter, so that the fowls can be induced to exercise before they get their regular breakfast. Give the mother sheep the most nourishing ration you can. They need it for milk. Wheat bran is good, clover hay is nice. Plenty of water and some roots now and then will help out. The best preventive of garget is clean, careful milking and a vigorous rubbing and kneading of the affected part of the udder at the first sign of trouble. Three or four days of such treatment will usually ward off the disease. THE PULPIT. AN FLOOOUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. DEV WITT L. PELTON. Theme: The Habit and Kindness and Consideration-For Others. Who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed.—Acts, 10:38. The tendency of business life is to make men calculating, selfish, limited in their sympathies. This disposition, stressed each work day and emphasized by competition, becomes a habit of the soul, which takes control of life. The tendency of the life of pleasure is the same. Those whose eyes are single to their own eyes are intent upon every opportunity for amusement, become superficial, cold and limited in sympathy. Selfishness with them likewise becomes a habit. Qualities that we admire, nobility, kindness, sympathy, service, are to be secured like the practical qualities of life by making them habits of the soul. They will not come as the result of spasmodic action or sentimental day dreams. Acts performed daily ripen into habits. Do you want to keep from being the mean and selfish individual the practical life of business would make you? Plan to do some deed of kindness every day, some act which has no relation to your business, your own happiness or success. Do your own work faithfully and well, but see if there is not an opportunity to send a helping hand to another, to serve a helper or to courageing deed. In the midst of the hurly-burly of life, in the daily contact with men, take time for a look now and again for the weaker man, for the man fighting bravely against great odds, for the wounded and bruised in the battle of life. Cultivate the habit of kindness, of consideration for others with whom you come in contact. But not only for those with whom you come in contact, but others you do not see, a countless host in this great city, who daily stare with what courage they can muster, but with dread as well, into the raging eyes of the wolf of Poverty. Our city abounds in distress and suffering and misery which men might see they would steal of the earth with rage, some deed of kindness each day until it sets into a habit of the soul. This is practical Christianity. A good way to create such a habit is to commit one's self to some form of Christian or altruistic service. One of the objections urged by our pleasure loving natures against definite service of any kind is that it ties us down. This is really one of its advantages. When you commit yourself to the service of others, or make engagements with yourself to perform some duty, your good intentions do not dissipate into thin air, but are carried out in practical and the disposition to be of use to your fellow-men becomes yours at last as the result of the habit of definite Christian activity. Moody's Testimony. Two months before his death, Mr. Moody, while at Central Church, at Brooklyn, gave the following testimony: "I know if I should be asked to be a witness in a court my testimony would be taken; and I want you to take my testimony as to what it is to be filled with the Spirit. There are two epochs in my life which stand out clear. One is when I was between sixteen and seventeen. I was born of the Spirit. There can never come a greater blessing to any man on this earth than to be born again—born from above—to have the God nature planted in him. God has been good to me. He has showered blessing after blessing upon me, but the greatest blessing—next to being born of the Spirit—came sixteen years afterwards, when I was filled with the Spirit; and He has never left me to this day. He is for all—women as well as men. When Pentecost was fully come, the whole church was qualified for work in God's cause." —R. A. Torrey. Home Home Apherisms The Christian who feels no interest in fallen men soon falls himself. Hold fast that which is good and then get some more of the same kind. Getting out of bed backward isn't half as unlucky as getting off a moving car that way. The pocket which contains a bad man's pistol is utilized by a gentleman for a notebook. The Bible is so plain that everybody understands it but a fool, and he need not err therein, but somehow he always does. Some men are bachelors because they think marriage is a failure, and some because their attempt to get married was a failure. A mean man so after sticking his head out of the coach window wants to sue the railroad company for getting a cinder in his eye. The rich hustle to get richer—or, to get away from where they are. The poor hustle just as much to keep from getting poorer—or, stay where they are. Adjustment. If the strings of a piano were tuned exactly right you could only play in one key. Only by dropping a little the perfect pitch of every conviction can you get along with folks.—Rev. Frank Crane. The Worldly Man. The man who permits himself to be the victim of his sense is what the Scriptures truly denominate the worldly man.—Rey. E. L. Powell. Framing God. God is too big to be shut up in any set of definitions; for definition necessarily means limitation. The moment you define you confine. No one can frame God.—Rev. Geo. Thomas Dowling. Honest Doubters. Thomas was an honest doubter; therefore the Master was anxious to help him. Honest doubters are treated in like manner to-day.—Rev. Orville A. Petty. GOOD ROADS. The Grange from its beginning has recognized the importance of the question of improved public highways, as a matter directly affecting the welfare of its members. The farmers were our first road makers, and in many sections of the country the work of maintaining the roads is still in the hands of the farmer. By far the greater percentage of the 2,000,000 miles of roads in the United States was constructed by the farmers at their own expense, and if from the point of view of modern scientific road-building most of these roads are of an inferior character, it must be remembered that the financial condition of the communities in which these roads are located will not permit of the expenditure necessary to secure better roads. So much has been written in recent years as to the alleged prosperity of our farmers that you may share, the impression of the editors of some city newspapers, who imagine that all the farmers are highly prosperous, and able, if they chose, to construct macadam roads leading to every farm. It is true that the farmers as a whole are fairly prosperous, a condition due chiefly to the intelligence and industry with which they pursue their calling, but it must be remembered that "prosperity" is after all a relative term, and so my knowledge a large proportion of the farmers in all sections of the country are not in a position to assume the financial burden involved in the substitution of modern improved roads for the common dirt roads. It is for this reason that while the Grange was the original "Good Roads Association," and has for years persistently agitated for better roads, the policy of improved road construction has not been adopted as rapidly as the advocates of good roads have wished. And here I wish, as a farmer and representative of farmers, to reply to the charge often made—that the farmers do not appreciate the value or the importance of good roads. I can testify from my continuous visits to farming communities in every section of the country that there is no question on which the farmers are so unamunous, "as that improved roads would do more to benefit their condition than any other suggested reform." From Address by Hon. N. J. Bachelder, Master of the National Grange. The Auto an Influence. Automobile influence for good roads is going to be exerted to a greater extent than ever-before, and with more practical results, during this year. It has taken some time, particularly in the West, to bring the local authorities to look with favor upon the activities of the motorists for improved highways, but a decided change has been noticed within the past twelve months, and in many localities the automobilists are working in harmony with local officials for better highways, which will be a benefit to all users of the public roads. Bills for more liberal State aid will undoubtedly be introduced into the Legislatures of several States during the coming sessions, and already a number of plans are on foot in which motorists are taking a lively interest. A Sand Strewing Wagon. Consul Frank S. Hannah reports that the street cleaning department of Magdeburg has recently made successful experiments with a new sand strewing wagon constructed by Hermann Fricke of that German city. The wagon spreads rapidly an even layer of sand on the streets, which in the case of asphalt paving is of great benefit in that it minimizes the slipping of the horses when the streets are either extremely wet or frozen. This has Heretofore been done in German cities exclusively by hand. The apparatus is worked by the driver and can be adjusted to strew a layer of sand or gravel from 19.68 to 52.49 feet wide. The machine has been taken over by the city.—From Daily Consular and Trade Reports. Don't Be Timid. Mr. Average Farmer, you are paying more mud tax, on account of poor roads, than the other kind of tax you complain so much about. Talk it over with your neighbors and try to get better roads along the highway you have to travel regularly. Do not be too timid to go with it to those whose business it is to see that the roads are made good and kept good. Stone Roads Most Satisfactory. Stone roads, if properly constructed of good material and kept in perfect condition, are the most satisfactory, the cheapest, and most economical roads that can be constructed. Appréciative. The most polite Weary Willie yet, so far as the records show, was: the sleek fellow who, leaving a back door the other day where he had been well fed with a bow and a scrape of the foot, delivered himself of the following: "Well, goodby, boss. If time fares well with me and I ever pass' this way again, I'll give ye a call."—judge. ae ~ ee “THE SAVANAAH TRIBUNE.

Saturpay, June 19, 1909 Fight for Industrial Freedom. a ee See not have been in vain if it opens the eyes of the South to the grave dangers of industrial discrimina- tion on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. The Negro firemen are in a class by themselves. They are phid less then the whites and they are not eligible to promotion as engineers. In spite of the wage advantages they held, the white firemen have long complained that they could not acquire sufficient experi- ence on road runs to become engin- eers because the more cheaply: prid Negro firemen had gradually, obtained the best runs, When white firemen employed in the ter- minal yards at Atlanta were dis- placed by Negro firemen the strike followed. The white man had fi- nally become the victim of his own economic discrimination against the Negro. Had the service on the railread been open to white and black alike, both paid the same wages and both eligible to promotion for proved capacity, there would have been no grounds for complaint and hence no strike. As it is, the dispute has take on the proportions of an industrial war which is fought out on the lines of race and color, and the most menacing element is not the strikers but the people living along the railroad who think that they must maintain “‘white su- pramacy.” ‘ The real question at issue, of which this strike presents only one aspect, is whether the Negro while enjoying nominal political freedom, isto be condemned to industrial serfdom. If colar is to be the test ofa man’s right to work and wage, the Negro must remain half a slave in spite of the war and notwith- standing the thirteenth amendment. As regards the necessity for the Negro’s earning his bread in the sweat of his face, where is the pro- found difference in principle between compelling him to work and denying him the right to work at tasks which he is fitted to per- form. It is not the Negro alone who is going to pay the cost of such dis- crimination; for white labor will, suffer along with the black, just ‘as the “poor white” was an equal victim of the institution of slavery. With every trade open to the Ne- gro on the basis of merit, he will have to take his chances and de; pend on himself for his adyance- ment. But if he is to be kept in an industrial class by himself, paid a lower wage because his skin is black instead of white’and denied the opportunities for promotion which skill and experience would otherwise entitle him to, a perma- nent class of cheap labor will be established ih the South to drag down the whites while it holds down the blacks. ; The white mechanics are no less interested in this question than the Negroes. They have even more at stake, becausa, witha higher stand- ard of living, they have more to lose.

Let it boil five minutes. While it is cooking put into a frying pan two tablespoonfuls of sugar and one of water. Stir them until they become a dark, rich brown. Add half a cupful of boiling water, and when the caramel has entirely melted, add the syrup after removing from it the bay leaf, lemon rind and cinnamon. Send hot to the table. Making a Lawyer. Miss Amy Wren, of Brooklyn, N. Y., is making good as a lawyer. Judge Chatfield, of the United States Circuit Court, has made her receiver for a business firm. It is said that she is the first woman receiver in this part of the country, and that her fees will amount to at least $3000. Nature's Concert. "If you would hear a beautiful concert," said a country loving woman, who had been exercising after an ice storm, "walk in the high tufs of grass and listen to the exquisite chimes and tunes given out with the falling bits of ice shaken from the blades and stems. Each, as it strikes the glazed snow, gives forth a fairy-like note, and I have walked over two fields out of pure joy in my discovery."—New York Tribune. Don't Let Them Know It. One of the best known women in society, who is remarkable for having no enemies, laughingly said not long ago that she attributed her popularity to never letting those she disliked know of it by any word of hers. "I avoid discussing any unpleasant person," she continued, "and I also never join any social club where a member is included that I do not care to invite to my house. By this means I am free to do as I please, and I also never offend my own friends by having persons that I know they dislike at my house when they are there, as that is questionable hospitality." — New York Tribune. Thin Goods Pleated. Though Empire and Directoire models still prevail, some of the cotton and thinner linen goods are made with pleated skirts, quite high of course, the pleats stitched to fit the line meeting the short body portion, and so neatly and smoothly arranged over the hips that they give the impression of a plain skirt. The bordered goods and the flouncing are 'materials' that lend themselves well to this manipulation, and the style is one especially becoming to growing girls (whose figures are, of course; immature) and to slender women. The waist may be plain, but the effect will be better if a few pleats are set on the shoulders. Old Fashioned Women. The old fashioned woman survives and just as we had fancied the "new woman" was having it all her own way! At least one, man says: "Women have a habit of toying with a biscuit in public and getting really busy, so to speak, only in private. Readers of 'Pendennis' may remember Thackeray's remarks on that point. Then, again, there is another aspect of the matter. Women do not assail chops and steaks with the fury of the male, but they rage like douring locusts among the things on the counter at a confectioner's shop, which the average man will not t.uch. As a character in a contemporary remarks with some sadness: 'Even Ethel, when she's let loose among the marzipans and meringues, simply clears the counter while waiting for "a cup of tea and a plain biscuit, please."' An interesting light on women's methods regarding food is thrown, by a passage in a recently published book. It has frequently been noted that women, when alone, dine on a cup of tea and an egg. This, according to our author, is not due to fairy refinements of soul but to pure slackness. Women grow so tired of ordering food for their families that, when relieved from that duty for a moment, they simply cannot be bothered to order anything for themselves." Is he'right?—Philadelphia Record. Mrs. Vanderbilt's Chinese Blue. Mrs. Vanderbilt's Chinese Blue. Mrs. Reginald C. Vanderbilt is one of the few fashionable women who do not devote half their lives thinking of something new to wear. It is her rule to give herself almost completely into the hands of her dressmaker with regard to her attire. Probably her chief interest is the big-string of show horses of her husband. She is essentially an outdoor woman. Occasionally, however, she applies an original idea to her wardrobe, and her latest expression in this direction is a frock of Chinese blue. She takes honest pride in this gown, and without reason. Chinese blue is the rarest and most beautiful blue known, and it is only for the woman with no limit to her expenditures. Chinese blue comes only from China, unlike many of the alleged Chinese silks, and its rarity is due to the fact that it takes two years to dye it. The gown is of the finest texture and its material upon a fusel one of the costliest, and at the time most attractive, manned in the world. The process secret with the Chinese for many centuries and it is seldom any of the finished product is exported. Mrs. Vanderbilt obtained her blue six months after she had placed an order with a Fifth avenue firm. The frock is. of the princess design, and as Mrs. Vanderbilt says, "It is almost too lovely to wear."—New York Press. The Hearty Grip Again in Vogue. In a recent London paper it was said that the fashion in handshaking was changing; that the weak-armed, weak-minded, "elbow-shake" was going out, its place to be taken by a more hearty and natural gesture, Hurrah for Dame Fashion! For once she, is engaged in a good work. What could be more discouraging than to go up to a person, beaming with pleasantness and good will, and be met by a lackadaisical grasp of the hand and a forearm motion, suggestive of a severe chill. It is enough to dry the springs of brotherly feeling. But it was fashionable, and so, in the words of a famous old lady, "it had to be did." The manner is passing. Let us speed it on its way. When it is quite gone, and it no longer has fashion's approval to back it, then let any body try it, and they will be met with a rebuff that will show clearly enough what people have been thinking all along, and have not dared to say. At most it was a chilly and unsocial mannerism. A man is known by his handshake, perhaps. And yet we hesitate to believe it, because of the really nice people whose manner of shaking hands leaves much to be desired. The "next most annoying" variety is the person who shakes your hand for an fondordinate time, until you become conscious of the fact—wonder if he is ever going to stop, when he is probably wondering the same thing and don't know how, and finally you fairly jerk your hand away, followed by slight embarrassment on both sides you vow inwardly that hereafter you will bow and smile only. There is a third species, less feeble, and less disconcerting, but genuinely painful. That is the man and woman, too, nowadays, who seizes your hand, wrings it, until you imagine you hear the bones grind against each other—and if they are a stranger you hope they did not see you wince, and if they are not strange you hope they did, and then drops the hand with a final jerk. It aches for hours, and again you decide to bow and smile only, but you don't. As a form of friendly greeting it has taken such a hold upon us that we shall probably suffer and be strong, for some time to come.—New Haven Register. FRILLS or FASHION Ribbon watch chains are quite the thing just now. Coats for girls' suits are plain and almost straight. When you cannot afford to buy jewels use beads. New gowns from Paris have corsets made in them. Plumes are only rivalled by flowers as hat garniture. Wreaths and garlands are among the fancies of the day. Jet buttons are so much favored as to appear on white linen rigs. Many of the blouses are tucked all over, bodice and sleeves allike. The fichu is one of the prettiest finishes given to the modern gown. The elbow sleeve with full ruffles is sometimes seen on evening gowns. Do not over-trim a baby's dress. It makes him look fussy and unattractive. The fashionable old-rose shade seems to be becoming alike to those of light complexion and to those who are dark. Nutmeg brown is a color very much like the spley blossom, and will be a favorite, while every shade of taupe will be used. For a young girl a strip of heatherbloom is quite as satisfactory as silk to wear under sheer frocks, and much more girlish. Buttons will become popular on cotton and linen gowns and will remain almost a necessity on silk and heavier fabrics. White pearl buttons in every variety of carving and some with a Frenchy decoration of gilt lines and flowers are seen. To use more of the candle than is usually possible, fit a cork into the candlestick; leaving about a quarter of an inch space around the top. Run a heavy needle through the cork and push the candle down on that. COST OF REPRODUCING PYRAMID Calculation to Show the Mechanical Advance Made by the World. In general, women claim the credit of having the keenest appreciation of odors, both agreeable and the opposite, a point so subject to dispute that nothing further need be said. Considering their large experience in both natural and artificial perfumes from the fact of being almost constantly surrounded by them in daily use of extracts, lotions, essences, besides their lavish indulgence in flowers, they remain mostly unacquainted with the action or after effects of both, and are led entirely by their particular fancy or by favoritism. A full history of the action of perfumes and odors has to do with results culled from all nations, and sought in legendary and historic lore. Ancient peoples made very great use of perfumes for sanitary reasons chiefly, in lieu of a natural dislike to soap and water cleanliness as it is now understood for persons and places. Asian septics some perfumes were in highest repute, and as it well known to-day they would be in favor still, rather than some of the vile malodorous concoctions now supplied. An eminent bacteriologist, has shown that the vapors emitted by essential oils are antiseptics of a powerful sort. It is claimed that the bacillus pyrophilus fever is killed in a dozen minutes by the oil of clammon; in thirty-five minutes by the oil of thyme; in forty-five minutes by Indian vervain; in fifty-five minutes by geranium; in seventy-five minutes by marjoram; in eighty minutes by patchouli. Lavender and eucalyptus are also destroyers of bacteria. The influence of both odors and perfumes if exerted upon the organisms of different persons is of little matter that constantly appeals to us. Some there are who cannot remain in a room where lilies are in full bloom, and others find jasmine in importable, while heliotropes produce a violent headache in many cases. Fruit sellers will tell you that they have patrons who buy their choicest specimens of pears, peaches and grapes in order to enjoy their odor in preference to eating them. Odors have been known to act in the place of food. We may often see poor children hanging around the doors of bakeshops inhaling with delight, the smell of cakes freshly taken from the ovens. There is a legendary statement that Democrats kept himself alive for three days by the odor of warm bread. Louis XI, submitted himself with entire confidence to the action of the perfume-making from roses, sweet marjory, rosemary, violets and eglantine, which filled his room. Nervous patients have been put to sleep by means of inhaling musk, vials and hellotrope, who were not at all affected by any other perfume. It is also well known that tuberose, honey-suckles, wall flowers, if kept in a closed room, will give persons occupying the room torturing headaches and other feelings of physical distress. Sensitive, and nervous persons are more easily affected than others, who are more robust, but under all circumstances it has been authoritatively declared to be highly injurious to keep flowers in bedrooms during hours of sleep. Instances are on record when death has ensued from having fragrant flowers in the room where one was sleeping. A lady was found dead in her bed who had previously been known to enjoy the best of health. On the mantelpiece was a large bouquet of lilies. The room being a small one had a low ceiling. The autopsy revealed that she had succumbed to poisoning from the flowers. It is related of an officer sleeping in an alcove decorated with branches of oleander, that he lost his life from the flower poison he inflicted. Many have confessed to sensations of a disagreeable nature when particular kinds of fruit were in their vicinity, At a recent meeting of an engineering society in Detroit, a paper was read which gave the estimated cost of reproducing the pyramid of Cheops. The sole purpose of the paper was to interest the imagination and to show what the advance of the world in the mechanical has made possible. It was assumed that the material should be equally as good as that of the original, and that all the chambers and passages should be reproduced. The length of the sides of the pyramid are at present 746 feet, the height 454 feet, and the area of the base twelve and three-fourths acres. To build it there would be required: 3,313,000 cubic yards of coarse limestone as backing stone, 140,000 cubic yards of fine limestone as facing stone, 2000 cubic yards of granite as facing stone, and 2000 cubic yards of polished facing granite. The total cost of the above would be at least $36,000,000, and the labor required would be 24,000,000 days' work, which is equivalent to the work of 40,000 hours for a period of 2 years. Assuming that the labor required would cost no more than an average df $1.50 per day for each workman, this item would reach a total for the two years of $36,000,000, which would make the total for material and labor $72,000,000. To this figure, must be added at least ```markdown ``` With some persons it happens to be oranges, with others lemons are objectionable, and so are apples or quinces. Florists, though constantly working among flowers, have been known to approach very near an attack of vertigo or fainting, caused by the heavy odors emanating from the flowers they were handling. A flower that creates great annoyance is the privet of Jasmine, a plant of the olive tree, family, having white blossoms and flowering in July. The odor of the Mirabilis, Jalapa is emitted at sunset in the most powerful manner. One may see a quantity of moths attracted by this perfume fall victims to the flowers in the twilight. At Cannes, Nice and Menton there are gardens where the Datura arborescens, with its large,white flowers, emits so powerful a perfume that those who remain in close proximity become very drowsy, and sometimes fall sound asleep. The causes of these attacks is probably due to a toxic poison produced by the absorption through the respiratory channels of the essential oils. Ehret, the botanist, while sketching the Aenantia saffron, was seized with giddiness. He was obliged to stop his work several times and go outside to breathe fresh air before he could rid himself of the bad effects. Fodere inadvertently placed on a table in his room a beautiful flower, the *Atropos* nandragora, which he had plucked. After having been some time in his room, with doors and windows closed, he became go, weak and languid he could scarcely bear up against the feeling. After opening the window and removing the flower the ill effects entirely disappeared. There is an illness known to be superinduced by the abuse of artificial perfumes called the "olfactory vertigo" and diagnosed by Dr. Joal. Lesser has noted that the odor, cantharides produces vertigo in those long exposed to it. Guerssant speaks of vertigo and nausea induced in certain persons by the odor of the rose. Certain odors like illacs or violets are known to create a temporary hoarseness and a diminution of the purity and strength of the voice. Singers understand this, and avoid the danger. Modern physicians no longer hesitate to forbid flowers in sick rooms. Green plants 'they heartily recommend in the place of flowers, as both healthful and cheery, as well as restful to the eyes.—New York Evening Sun. Monkeys as Coln Testers. Monkeys as coin collectors In Slam monkeys are employed by the leading merchants to detect bad coins, writes a correspondent. A traveler the other day told me that the merchants have monkeys which possess a remarkable faculty for judging good and counterfeit coins by tasting them. The ape sits beside the merchant and receives the coin after it has passed through the man's hands. After putting it in its mouth the animal will drop the coin, if it is a good one, into a cash box near by, but if it is a counterfeit it will make a remarkable clatter and give it back to its master. Slam has a vast amount of spurious coin, I was informed, and the monkeys in this way perform a very useful commercial service.—London Chronicle. An Ounce of Prevention. To justify his repeated use of the same wittism, as noted in three of his plays, J. M. Barrie says: "We Scots abor水责. Did you never hear of the aged Saunders Carlyle, who always drank off his whisky to the last drop the instant it was poured out for him? 'Why do you drink down your liquor in that quick greedy way?' a stranger said to Saunders in a reproachful tone. 'I once had one knocked over,' the old man explained."—Argonaut. $3,000,000 for transportation and smaller items, and, if built in Detroit, or in most places, the cost of a suitable foundation would also have to be considered. The pyramid of Cheops stands on a foundation of solid rock 120 feet deep, and if a foundation this deep were built, an additional 2,600,000 cubic yards of material would have to be used, bringing the total cost of the reproduction up to the $100,000-000 mark. The pyramid of Cheops consumed the labor of 100,000 men for thirty years, which is about 900,000,000 days' work.—San Francisco Call. Railroad Ban On-All Dogs. By an order of the New York Central Railroad that goes into effect, no dogs will be allowed in the passenger cars, no matter how fine the bow wow or how wealthy or influential the owner. Herecaster they must find quarters in the baggage cars, for the officials have decided to list dogs as baggage. Animal worth more than $25 will not be carried unless crated. Incidentally, the owner must sign a release from all liability on the part of the company. Hereforefore it was permissible for passengers to take dogs into the passenger cars with the stipulation, that they be kept in the seat occupied by the animal's owner. New York Telegram PROGRESS ON THE FARM Good Roads, Telephones and Rural Mall-Delivery Bring City to Farm. Atlanta, Ga.—The present agitation of the good roads question throughout the south cannot fail to result in greatest benefit to the residents of rural communities and sections. It is meeting with the encouragement of the city business man, the country merchant and the farmer. The interest of these three, particularly the farmer, is essential in order to produce the desired result. Good roads, rural free delivery, and last, but not least, rural telephones, go hand in hand. The rural telephone has played an important part in the progress and development of the country. Its advent has removed, to a large extent, the isolation of country life, and it is the connecting link between the city and the country, thereby giving the rural residents an advantage equal to that of the city resident. It is a simple matter for the farmer to have telephone service. in his home, and farmers in all sections of the south are providing themselves with this economical, modern necessity. There is no doubt that more farmers would have telephones in their homes if they understood the matter more thoroughly. At very little cost, farmers can secure connection with the toll lines of the Southern Bell company in this county. There is a plan under which this company permits the conduction of farmers' lines with its toll lines, and in this way farmers can have telephone service with each other and with nearby points and distant points. The long distance lines form a net work of wires throughout the south, and there is no reason why the progressive farmers in every county should not have telephone service in their homes, just as farmers in other sections are taking advantage of this opportunity. Those who are interested in the matter can secure-complete information by sending a postal card to the Farmers' Line Department, Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company, Atlanta, Ga. PEAT BOGS VALUABLE Federal Experts Say Millions of Dollars of Fuel Lies Undeveloped. Washington, D. G.—A number of cities and towns in the United States may obtain their light, heat and power directly from cedar beds in the near water. The statement is made by federal experts that millions of dollars worth of fuel lies undeveloped in the swamps and bogs of the country, awaiting only the genius and business ability of the American before it drives the wheels of progress. Its value, on a basis of $2.00 a ton, roughly guessed at by experts of the geological survey, who have been studying the peat deposits for some time, is more than thirty-eight billion dollars—more money than is represented in all the property, stock, implements and buildings owned by the farmers of the United States. With the coal supply being used at a tremendous rate, peat is expected to become a most important auxiliary fuel and one that will prolong the life of the coal itself. An important fact which loads the experts to believe that peat will soon come into quite general use in certain parts of the country is that, it is as a rule found in quantities in regions far removed from the coal fields, so far that the cost of transporting the coal amounts to several times the cost of the fuel itself at the mines. The states containing the greatest amount of peat are the eastern Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, northern Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York, the New England States, New Jersey, portions of Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. A thorough investigation of the peat resources is now being undertaken by the geological survey, not only as to the amount of peat and its location, but also its use. PRESSED HARD Coffee's Weight on Old Age. When prominent men realize the injurious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring, they are glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others. A superintendent of public schools in one of the southern states says: "My mother, since her early childhood, was an inveterate coffee drinker, had been troubled with her heart for a number of years and complained of that 'weak all over' feeling and sick stomach. "Some time ago, I was making an official visit to a distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a somewhat peculiar flavour of the coffee, and asked 'him' concerning it. He replied that it was Postum. "I was so pleased with it, that after the meal was over, I bought a package to carry home with me, and had wife prepare some for the next meal. The whole family were so well pleased with it, that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely. "I had really been at times very anxious concerning my mother's condition, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to its use, and had little trouble with her heart and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This continued, until she was as well and hearty as the rest of us.

Here is an amusing story of a provincial railway station waiting room. The other day the Imperturbable calm which characterizes the occupants of such an apartment was disturbed by the metallic ring upon the floor of dropped coin. Nobody betrayed consciousness of having dropped it, but everybody beganfurtely to look for it. All was silence until a lachrymose individual who had been grepping in a dark corner, and had at last apparently found something, inquired in plaintive tones. "Has any one dropped a half sovereign?" Then there was a chorus, matchless both for simultaneousness and spontaneity, of "Yes, I have!". At least a dozen persons seemed to have lost that half sovereign. "Well," drawled the dolorous individual. "I've just found a halfpenny of it, so we may as well continue the search for the reminder."—Tit-Bits.

Something May Be Done to Scare the Other Fellow. Darragh, a chauffeur, who lately ran down and killed a boy in New York, and ran away, has been captured in Texas. He admitted his crime, and the papers say: "He declared that while passing along the street in his automobile he approached a crowd of boys playing. In the scramble to get away one of the boys was struck by the lamp and mudgear and knocked down." Probably that is true, because it describes what commonly happens. The scene is perfectly familiar—children in the street, and an automobile coming toward them lickety-split. Those of them who get out of the way in dime are not run over. Something can doubtless be done to keep children out of the streets of cities; a great deal can certainly be done to make chauffeurs wary of running over them. There are streets and streets. In some, children abound and vehicles are scarce. In such streets the children's play-rights are paramount and vehicles should respect them. And there are great thoroughfares and minor ones where vehicles abound and children are scarce, and in these the rights of vehicles are paramount. What seems to be needed is to induce relations of mutual terror between children and chauffeurs, so that the chauffeur shall be just as badly scared at the sight of the child in the street as the child is at the sight of the automobile coming—Harper's Weekly.

MORE SMALL GRAIN PLANTED Cotton Acreage in Georgia off Eight Per Cent. Peach Crop also Short. Atlanta, Ga.—The May report of crop conditions and prospects, issued by the department of agriculture, shows that the acreage planted to cotton in Georgia this year is 8 per cent less than that of last year, and the condition and prospect report on cotton shows a decrease of 18 per cent. The explanation for the smaller cotton acreage is said to be the tendency to plant grains in order to realize the high prices now prevailing. A further reason is the grassy condition of farming land throughout the middle and northern part of the state, resulting from the continued rains of April and May. The report shows a large increase in the acreage of corn, wheat and oats. Corn. The average acreage for the state is given as 105 per cent, as compared with last year. Condition 107.

JUDGE ORDERS ROAD SOLD. Contractor 'Oliver to Recover $289,515 From S. A. and N. Railroad. Macon, Ga.—A decree of sale was signed by Judge Speer in the case of W. J. Oliver against the Savannah Augusta and Northern railroad which authorizes the sale of that railroad in Statesboro, Ga., on August 3, 1909. J. N. Talley, who acted as master in the case, was appointed commissioner to conduct the sale. Attorney Hinton Booth, of Statesboro, filed objections to the decree and stated in open court that he would take steps to appeal the case at once. The decree of the court will allow Contractor Oliver the sum of $286,515.84, together with interest and costs. He will receive $9 this sum for constructing the Savannah, Augusta and Northern railroad from Statesboro to Louisville. Should the sale price not amount to what he is given by the court, he will get a deficiency decree. Before any bid is made for the railroad property, the sum of $20,000 must be deposited with the commissioner to show the good faith of the prospective purchaser. C. Henry Cohen and J. R. Lamar of Augusta represented Oliver. The road was ordered to pay Oliver for his work, and its failure to do so brought about the decree. Judge Emory Speer named Bowdroil Oliver as receiver for the Savannah, Augusta and Northern Railway. The application was made by the counsel acting for W. J. Oliver and for the Carnegie Trust Company. Phinizy takes charge at once as temporary receiver. PLAN NEW RAILROAD. Will Be Operated From Rome to Gainesville. Gainesville, Ga. — A "Rome-to-Gainesville railroad" was the slogan of a party of prominent Romans who visited this city. At a public meeting the Romans outlined the railroad proposition they have in mind and in which project they desire the co-operation of the people of Gainesville. Briefly, it is to organize a company, secure a charter for the Rome and Gainesville railway, have surveys made and either build the road themselves or secure the cooperation of some of the big trunk lines or other interests to insure the railroad's being built. The proposed route is through Hall, Forsyth or Lawson, Cherokee, Bartow and Floyd into Rome. STATE SECURES OPTION. W. & A. Ry. Terminal Site at Chattanooga May Be Bought. Atlanta, Ga.—Governor Smith has secured options on a 70-acre tract of land adjoining the right-of-way of the Western and Atlantic railroad near Chattanooga, Tenn. It has been the belief of Governor Smith that the state of Georgia should purchase this land for use as yards and terminals for the state road, as he believes the necessity for such land will constantly increase. · GEORGIA NEWS IN PARAGRAPHS. It is stated on reliable authority that the legislature, responding to the demands of the new administration, will attempt to abolish the state railroad commission, and create in its stead a board of control, to consist of three members, who shall be appointed by the governor, and whose terms of office shall continue until the ensuing general election. The plan, it is added, contemplates divestiture of authority over street railroads, gas and electric companies, and other public utility corporations whose functions are confined solely, or in large part, to municipalities. Work of construction on the Ocilla Southern railroad is rapidly approaching Alapaha. The track-laying gang is four miles out from town. This line will cross the Atlantic Coast line at this point and extend to Nashville, where connection will be had with the Georgia and Florida, or Adel, Ga., for connection with the Georgia Southern and Florida and Southern Georgia railroad. It will open some virgin timber land and traverse the best farming belt of the county of Berren. Wheat and oat harvest is now on in Newton and Rockdale counties. The yield is much better than had been expected. Corn and cotton crops conditions are not so good on account of late planting. With a view to relieving the state of the necessity of caring for convicts who are invalid or disabled and unable to work, Governor Smith, in his message to the legislature, will recommend the inauguration of a system of reports from each county convict camp which will keep the prison commission and the governor constantly informed as to the physical condition of any inmate of the penitentiary. Alleging that he was roughly treated on numerous occasions, and that his finger was broken when he was thrown to the floor by an attendant, R. F. Dunnington, a young man of Augusta, who was an inmate of the state asylum at Milledgeville in 1907, appeared before the board of investigators at the capitol and gave evidence in the investigation of charges of cruelty which have been lodged against the management of the asylum. Dunnington stated that he had been infected with pronounced odor had been sent to the asylum for treatment. He said that all patients received the same treatment for diseases, and that when he was slick they refused to do anything for him, but one of the attendants came in and choked him. The first public occasion in which Governor-elect Joseph M. Brown will participate after his inauguration will be the big military tournament that is to be held by the Fifth regiment in the auditorium at Atlanta on the evening of July 5th. The tournament will begin with a mammoth parade of the Atlanta companies of the regiment, the governor's horse guard, the governor's horse guard and tailor from the Seventeenth infantry of the United States army at Port McPherson, and the troop of calvary from Fort Oglethorpe that has recently returned after stirring adventures from the Phillipines. Governor Brown and his staff will review the parade. Bellevue that the state can establish its claim to eight acres of land in Chattanooga which were deeded to the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad in 1860, Governor Smith, in his message to the legislature, will recommend that suit be instituted at once to recover the property. The property was transferred to the railroad for $8,000, but is now worth more than a million dollars. The chancery court of Tennessee has held that the railroad bill the agency is invalid, and it is thought that suit for the property would be successful. Honorable Roland Ellis, representative-elect from Blub, has withdrawn from the race for speaker of the house. And as a result Honorable John N. Holder of Jackson will have no opposition for that office and will be elected. From present indications there will not be more than one-half of a crop of cotton raised in Ashburn, of Turner county. A large portion of the cotton stalks in some sections have died from black root. The University of Georgia conferred the degree of doctor of laws on United States Senator A. O. Bacon of Georgia. The degree of D. D. was conferred on Rev. S. R. Belk of Atlanta and that of doctor of science on John P. Fort of Athens. The farmers in Houston county have finished harvesting their grain crops. The yield is larger than for many years past. The oat crop has yielded from forty to sixty bushels per acre, wheat from twelve to twenty bushels. The growing crops, both corn and cotton, are thrifty. The melon crop is doing well and some melons will be shipped by July 5. Patents issued to Georgians: W. S. Harbour and G. A. Kellogg, Atlanta, overalls; B. J. Harrell, Eastman, washing machine; J. Minor, Atlanta, top; J. W. Moon, Hiram, display racks; W. J. Plerpont, Jr., float for logs. A sale of whiskey is still a sale, even though made on credit, and is a violation of the Georgia prohibition law, said the court of appeals in a decision handed down. The case was an alleged violation of the law by W. S. Finch of Rome. He pleaded that he had received no money for the liquor he was alleged to have sold. The court overruled this point, but reversed the decision of the lower court on another ground. Finch will get a new trial. The opinion was rendered by Chief Judge Hill. Rural carrier appointed for Georgia: Montrose, route 2, John T. Rogers, carrier; William F. Towson, sub. Savannah, route 1, Percival H. Pedrick, carrier; William H. Bradley, sub. It being practically settled that the Third and Fifth regiments of the national guard of Georgia will go into camp on St. Simon's Island during the month of July, to remain at least ten days, work is to begin at once toward clearing off the campus and putting it in ample water supply for the accommodation of at least five hundred soldiers. IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS "Baseball English." We notice that the "pitcher's box" has been transformed in to the "hurling mound" this year. Otherwise we cannot see but that the grand old game is about the same as it was last season—Chicago "News." There have been other changes. For instance, the home plate has become the "residential dish."—New York Mall. And the base line is the gutter! It's a great game if you get the proper English!—Buffalo "News." And then, too, we note that a sacrifice hit has become a "martyrdom tap." Nothing like having variety in writing up the grand old game—Philadelphia "Telegraph." President Taft declares that he does not like bunting in base ball and prefers clean and hard slugging. Most of the pitchers dislike both—and their wishes go with the magnate and managers of the present day. Ian Hague, England's champion heavyweight, entered the ring two years ago. He won all of his fights with one terrific punch, which landed before his opponent's had a chance to show boxing skill; against Sam Langford, however, Hague's chance never glimmered. For three rounds the husky negro played with the giant, and then as Ian dropped his guard to start the famous punch, Sam hooked a terrific right to the point of the jaw, and the stuff was off. Langford weighed 168, and Hague 196 pounds. Jack Johnson, the world's champion heavyweight fighter, who is now in Boston, gave out the following statement: It is now conceded on every hand that Jeffries has been blushing the public about meeting me. I am ready to box every week in the year if I am given my price for my service. I bar no man who has any right to challenge. I am ready to box Jeffries, Ketchel, Kauffman, Hart or any one else who wants to meet me. The University of Wisconsin base ball team has received an invitation to go to Tokio, Japan, to play teen games with Kelo University during summer. The college school guarantees to pay the expenses of the Badger team both ways, besides giving them a royal reception while in the land the Mikado. The Cincinnati Reds, and the Chicago Nationals have perfect arrangements to spend the winter season in Cuba. Any time the head of this great Nation says anything it counts heavily, with the general public. President Taft says that "base ball is the one clean sport." What a splended testimonial to the typical American game. Florida is now in line with a modest little four-club State League composed of clubs located in Tampa, Concordia, Lakeland, and Barlow. The balloon University City of St. Louis, with John Harry and John McCullough aboard, is the winner of the national balloon contest, which starred from Indianapolis. Official reports from the contestants were before the Aero Club of America and show that the University City covered a distance of 382 miles, landing 6 miles of Fort Payne, Ala. The balloon New York, was second in the distance contest, landing 2 1-2 miles south of Corinth, Miss, covering a distance of 355 1-2 miles. Writing to a Pittsburgh sporting editor writer in reference to Jeffries bout with Berger in Pittsburgh, Jack Johnson says: This bout, I understand, is too give the public a line on his condition. Please state for me that I will have a seat at the ringside and at the conclusion of the bout will demand from Jeffries an answer regarding the date of our coming fight I know very well Jeffries is training for me on the quiet. As for myself—well, tawte it from me, I don't intend to be caught napping on the question of physical condition. "I have an offer of a purse of $50,000 to fight Jeffries in December and I think it could be to our mutual benefit to accept the offer. However, I intend to have some sort of an understanding with the bollermaker before I leave Pittsburgh. Stanley Ketchel, middleweight, champion, defeated Jack O'Brien in the third round, in their fight at Philadelphia, thus accomplishing a feat that Jack Johnson, the heavyweight champion, failed to achieve in six rounds some three weeks ago. The fight was stopping in the second minute of the third round, after O'Brien had been knocked down twice in the second and once in the third, and was almost unable to raise his hand to defend himself. "Chick" Fraser has formally announced that he will not join the New Orleans club and that he will play in the Chicago City league this year. Veteran ball player, George VanHaltren, who was ten years with the New York Nationals, was handed his release by the Oakland Pacific Coast League club. It was a great surprise to VanHaltren, although he was recently deposed as manager. The club management says Van is growing too old for active service. He served for a decade with the Giants, from 1894, and generally headed the batting list, Barney Oldfield beat Lewis Strang by one-eighth of a mile in their first competition at Louisville, Ky. No records were broken. H. A. Harth, Jr., a Knoxville amateur, broke the world's automobile record for a mile on a half-mile track in Knoxville, when he drove the distance in 1:19 1-2, clipping a half second off Strang's record made in Chattanooga. The New York court of appeals handed down a decision which, in effect, holds that the dispensing of advance racing information on the Brighton Beach track last July was not a violation of the anti-race track gambling law. King James, owned by S. C. Hildreth, winner of the Metropolitan handicap, won the Brooklyn handicap, one mile and a quarter, in the good time of 2:04. The time made by King James was a new record for the Brooklyn handicap. King James was enlightened ridden by Eddie Dugan. One manager has inaugurated the scheme of having his outfielders practice throwing to the plate when opportunity present itself during the game. He contends that this is the only way to insure perfect throws; that outfielders do not get enough practice in this respect. The plan certainly is a good one for how often does the fan see a game lost because a bird throw to the plate hurled by the bowler form of a good throwing nelder—Exchange. In Little Rock a judge has refused to bring about a verdict against 25 players needed for playing Sunday ball. This is taken to indicate that the Southern league will soon be playing Sunday ball there. The Mobile Gulls are composed mostly of benedicts, Ludwig, Neelbors, Hill, Sentell and McCay have all reached the stage when they must take life serious. Jule Watson, according to rumor, is trying to get serious, too. Manager Bernhard of Nashville has given up hopes of getting Pitcher Sitter Tonk back from Cleveland. Lajole notified Nashville that Sitton would remain with the Naps and that the balance of the purchase price had been forwarded to the Nashville club. The Southern League players are showing a great improvement in their fielding, now that the weather has gotton warm and every one has become used to their new climates and sourrounding. Thornton of Mobile is the real leader of the outfielders, having made but one error in fifty games and having the swell percentage of 994. Jordan is the premier second baseman, fielding 976. Raftis of Birmingham has covered the ground in the outfield to the 976 while Demont of New Orleans cavorts around short the best of any of them, with a percentage of 994. There are twelve pitcher who have perfect records in fielding, not missing a one of the hard buns and drives sent to the pitcher's box. Paul Cobb after a brief time with Memphis, has been released and is on the way to join the Outlaws at Fresno, Cal. Here are some men this season that have performed above expections, in the Southern league: Casey and Sentz of Little Rock; Case of Nashville; Bayless of Atlanta, and Raftis and Gill of Birmingham. Cursing when the Savannah base ball team is losing is justifiable, according to a decision rendered by Recorder Schwarz, in Savannah, John Brown, colored, was up on a charge of curing in the presence of ladies: When Brown gave his statement he said he meant no offense, but to see Savannah losing the game kinder rattled him, and he let a few bad words slip before he knew. The recorder said Brown nor any other man could be a good American if he could sit quiet and see the home team lose. The negro was cautioned to use a little circumspection in the future and told to go root for the home team some more. President Jones of the South Atlantic league, states that there will be less rowdyism in the future that there has been in the past. He has issued positive instructions to all of the club managers and to the umpires. He is determined that this habit of kicking on every decision made by an umpire shall cease. "The managers should understand" this for once all who allow it to do so says President Jones, "and I am pretty well satisfied that my present staff is a reliable one and deserving of my fullest support." Charleston is going strong, in the Sally League, and with a little help by some defeats for Chattanooga, may be in the leaders' position before many weeks more. Augusta is winning some games on her own account, and will force herself to the top within a few days. Macon has been climbing, too. While to make prediction is always bad form, owing to the uncertainty of baseball, it would not be surprising before long to see Charleston, Chattanooga, Augusta and Macon making up the first division, while, unless they are strengthened, Columbus, Columbia, Savannah and Jacksonville will compose the "lower four." The order of the clubs is not signified by the order in which they are named.—Exchange. The troubles in Charlotte, N. C., have been settled by a reorganization of the Carolina Association. The Hornets will stay in Charlotte. A vigorous war has been declared against ball yard bettors in all the cities of the South Atlantic League, and in the future there will be nothing doing for the grandstand and bleacher better. All baseball bets in the future must be made "on the side," and not in public. President Jones of the league has now taken hunger out and he has issued instructions to the club owners relative to the ball yard betting. It is now a settled fact that the Anderson, S. C., baseball franchise will not be sold this season. The team is going good now and it will be backed by the citizens. Bobby Gilks is still with the Charleston Club in case any pitcher blows. Gilks will be used in the box. Despite his age he has a good delivery and may surprise some of the colt batters yet. Matty says he is a good utility man and intends to hang on to him. "What do you know, Mull?" said one of the Chattanooga players when the Jacksonville manager came over to the Lookout bench before the game. "I don't know anything," snapped back Mullaney, "or I would be in a foundry, or on a farm rather than trying to run a ball team." Changes are coming in thick and fast on the Columbus baseball team, which is heading straight to the bottom of the chutes. Massing has been given his release and some more are to follow as soon as men can be secured to fill their places. Harry Meek of the Chattanooa Club is one of the best bowlers in the south. For several years he has owned a most complete set of alleys in Birmingham. Dominick Mullaney, manager of the Jacksonville Club, is also proprietor of a set of alleys in his town.

And he's absolutely right. It is a significant fact that the free lunch counters run in connection with bars, furnish every imaginable thing except, sweets. Even the restaurants and lunch grills attached to saloons or bars often refuse to serve desserts of any sort. They know their business—the more sugar and sweets a man takes at a meal, the less alcohol he wants. Conversely, nearly every drinking man will tell you that he has lost his taste for sweets. The more candy a nation consumes, the less alcohol. The United States government buys pure candy by the ton and ships it to the Philippines to be sold at cost to the soldiers in the canteens. All men crave it in the tropics, and the more they get of it the less "vino" and whiskey they want. In fine, the prejudice against sugar is born of Puritanism and stinginess, equal parts. Whatever children cry for must be bad for them, according to the pure doctrine of original sin; besides, it costs money. Springfield, Mass.—On the ground that the last annual moonlight excursion of the Technical High School pupils was an occasion characterized chiefly by "spooning and siliness," the faculty of the school has ordered arrangements for a "moonlight" next week cancelled. The faculty announces that instead there will be a "sunlight" from 1 to 6 p. m., with a basket lunch and a ball game: Many pupils decided to cut the "Sunday-school" picnic. The Labor World.

It is stated that the recognition of a white flag in an enemy's position or lines is not obligatory on a commander. It should be disregarded in cases where movements of troops or material are carried out under its protection. About Noted People.
