LEFT MESSAGE WITH EDITOR No Violence Was Done, But Many Warnings Were Left for Gamblers and Blind Tiger Proprietors. Dalton, Ga.—Wearing long black robes and masks, a band of Ku-Klux, or night riders, 25 or 30 strong, rode into Dalton to take the first step toward ridding the town of evil-doers, so it later transpired. The body scattered when they reached town, and several of the members rode up to the residence of B. L. Heartsill, editor of The Argus, and woke him up. "Are you editor of the paper?" the spokesman of the party asked, Mr. Heartsill. He replied that he owned The Argus. "Well, we have a message here to some people in Dalton we want to print, and then give to the other paper." The warning was as follows: "Owl Hollow, 8th Month, Ax. "When in the course of events it becomes necessary for us to visit a certain section for the protection of women and children and good of society we are ever ready to answer the call, and whatsoever we purpose that we do. Woe unto the guilty wretch who disobeys our orders. "There are certain evils existing in this city that have got to stop. Blind tigers and gamblers, lewd women, streets loafers and vagrants must go. Ed Whitaker, Lum Gartrell, Jesse House and several others of their color; also several white men who are engaged in the same business of selling whiskey, take warning. The appeal of women and children who have been made to suffer on account of the internal poison you sell has been heard and by the Eternal they shall not be imposed upon any more. The gamblers we know also, and this is the first and last warning you will receive. Some of them are married men and have families who have our sympathy and need the money that you are gambling away while you are ruining the youn gbows of the town. This thing has got to stop. If it does not the young boys of the town. This house, remember you have been warned. Don't attempt violence or make any threats. If you do remember the cross beam on the foot bridge is still sound and strang. The gang of young men who loaf the streets both day and night must either go to work or leave the country. Lewd women both white and black must go. Certain young men who wear good clothes and loaf on the streets each night until midnight must either go to work or leave. Some of the gang are thieves and we have got them on our list. They must either go to work or go further away. This order to all is first and final; you must quit your cussiness or go to another country. Your day is over here. "Done in conference at Owl Hollow and final orders given by "TIBO TIB." "Grand Cyclops of the K. K. K." The document wat typewritten, some sentences having been done over in red ink. E. H. HARRIMAN HOME Pale and Enfeebled, the Railway Mag nate. Reaches New York New York City—Edward H. Herriman, genius of finance, leader of men and master organizer of railroad systems, came back to the United States while the financial world stood on tiptoes and anxiety and expectancy. He came back to this country as he left — a sick, tired man — seeking health. Surrounded by his family and physicians at his magnificent home at Arden on the-Hudson, he has begun the "after-score" which he needs after the enervating baths and dietetic treatment he underwent at the Austrian resort. How long it will be before he resumes the active direction of his vast railroad interests depends solely upon his health. He arrived feeble, face gaunt and voice weak. "And I have come home," he said, "for a cure and not for work." - Many great Americans have returned to their country's shores under extraordinary circumstances, but never has there been a more remarkable home-coming of a private citizen than E. H. Harriman's. Great stock market operators paused as his ship drew near, the stock market itself marked time and the industrial world turned its eyes seaward, as it were, eager for a glimpse of the face of the man whose illness abroad has furnished much material for stock market rumors. HOLY SEPIILCHRE - RELIC. Ancient Wooden Lock in the Hands of James Creelman. Ney York City—The ancient wooden lock of the gate of the holy sepulchre in the city of Jerusalem is now in this city in the home of James Creelman, a magazine writer, to whom it was presented by Faydi Effendi, mayor of Jerusalem. The lock is believed to have been placed on the gate during one of the later crusades. Six years ago, the Turkish government wanted to replace the crumbling old interlocking pieces of wood with a modern lock, but the French consul instantly protested. A compromise was made and duplicate of the old lock put in its place. CENSUS OF CHURCHES. Washington, D. C.—Advance sheets of the bulletin now in course of preparation by officials of the United States, census bureau containing the information gathered by the bureau in the fifth census of religious bodies in the United States reveals that is 1906 there was invested in churches in this country more than $1,250,000,000. The churches have a total membership of nearly 33,000,000, of which considerably more than one-half are women. It is also estimated from the statistics that more churches are completed each day. Out of the grand total of church membership 61.6 per cent are Protestants and 46.7 per cent are Roman Catholic, but, in spite of this predominance of Protestants, in sixteen states a majority of the total church membership is Roman Catholic. It is stated that United States census statistics of church membership by sex were collected for the first time in 1906. Of the total number of members reported by the various religious bodies and classified by sex 43.1 per cent were males and 56.9 per cent females. Among the Protestants the difference was greater, only 39.3 per cent being males. In the Roman Catholic churches there were relatively more males, the number forming 49.3 per cent of the total membership. Fewer males than females were found among the Latter Day Salutes, the Lutherans, Disciples, Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians and Protestant Episcopalians, the percentage of male members decreasing in the order shown, and there being but 55.5 per cent male among the Episcopalians. Among the Christian Scientists only 27.6 per cent were males. Of the estimated population of continental United States in 1906, the church members formed 39.1 per cent as against 32.7 per cent for 1889. Of this 6.4 per cent increase, the Roman Catholic Church is credited with 4.4 per cent and the Protestants with 1.8 per cent. It is stated in the bulletin that the total number of members reported by the various religious bodies for 1906 was 22,936,445, of which number the Protestants were credited with 20,257,742 and the Roman Catholics with 12,079,142. Of the Protestant bodies the Methodists numbered 5,749,838; the Baptists, 5,662,894; the Lutherans, 2,112,494; the Presbyterians, 1,830,555; and the Disciples of Christians, 1,142,359. Of the total of 22,226,445 church members, 61.6 per cent were Protestants, 36.7 per cent Roman Catholics and 1.7 per cent members of other religious organization. The rate of increase shown for the Roman Catholic Church is 93:5 per cent, which is more than twice that for all the Protestant bodies combined. The Methodists reported 17.5 per cent of all Protestant Church members; the Baptists 17.2 per cent. GAVE UP HIS BRIDE To Secure a Legacy-of $15,000, Pennsylvania Man Broke Engagement. Philadelphia, Pa.—In order to comply with the terms of his brother's will, which required him to remain a bachelor, William Taggart of this city announced that he would give up his intended marriage, and will thereby receive a legacy of $15,000. The estate originally belonged to an uncle, who left the property to a brother of Taggart, on condition that he remain unmarried. The brother died, and he passed the estate to William with the matrimonial restriction. Injunction Stopped Eurial. Goshen, Ind.—When the funeral cortege of Charles Crary reached the cemetery it was met by C. B. Silver, an undertaker, and his attorney and several policemen, who prevented the coffin being lowered into the grave on the contention that Crary, six years ago, entered into a contract with Silver to have his body cremated in Chicago. Newsy Paragraphs. New York's wealth, on which taxes are paid, is $7,259,300,559, according to a report submitted to the mayor recently by the tax commission. Of this total the real estate is worth $6,807,179,704 and the personal property is worth $433,200,855. These valuations which are embodied for three months, ending June 30, 1999, show a net increase in the assessed value of real estate of $84,763,915. "It doesn't take as much sense to be a president as it does to be a senator or congressman these days," said Congressman Champ Clark as he passed through Omaha, Neb., on a chattauqua tour. "There are ten thousand men in the United States who would make good presidents—if they could be elected. What we need most is senators and congressmen who will look out for the poor common people." A few days ago a bent and headless pin was taken from the arm of Miss Adelina Wyckoff, eighteen years old of Patterson, N. J., and since then sixteen similar pins have been extracted from the arm. Miss Wyckoff has no idea how the pins came to be in her body, and her parents believe that when she was a little child she probably swallowed them, unknown to other members of the family, and that they are just now working themselves out. Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, *o* who, with his son, Robin, was found guilty of killing former Senator *Carmack* K. Tennessee, inherits $1,165 from the estate of his brother, William F.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1909. URGE POSTAL BANKS Taft Will Ask Congress to Carry Out Republican Promises. IT WOULD. YIELD MILLIONS By Establishment of Banks Government Would Get Huge Sum With Which to Retire 2 Per Cent Bouds. Beverly, Mass.—President Taft indicated in talks with callers that in his message to congress next December, he will strongly urge the early establishment of a postal savings bank system. The president realizes that there is strong opposition to such legislation at this time and while he does not propose to rush congress on too many matters at once; he will ask that the platform declaration of the republican party in favor of postal banks be fulfilled as speedily as possible. Influential members of both the generate and house are urging that the matter be left over until the monetary commission has made its report and ensuing financial legislation has been disposed of. It has even been said that the relation between the subjects to be dealt with by the monetary commission and the postal banks is so close that the two should be handled together. President Taft believes that several hundreds of millions would be placed at the disposal of the government through postal savings banks. It is suggested that this money might well be employed in taking up the $600,000,000 or $700,000,000 of government 2 per cent bonds which are outstanding and which have given much concern to the treasury department officials. Already the 2 per cent bonds are selling below par and there is fear of further depreciation in view of the 3 per cent issues which have been authorized and, which soon may be placed on the market. The money which postal banks would draw, the president believes, is that which is sent abroad each year by foreigners who insist that the government's guarantee shall be back, of any bank in which they place their hard-earned savings and which is secreted in stockings and mattresses and not sent to any bank at all. The president believes that the postal banks would appeal only to those timid persons who are afraid to trust the ordinary banks and who would rather get the 2 per cent or less interest which the government would give than to place the money in the regular savings banks, where it would draw from 3 to 4 per cent interest each year. By placing the interest to be allowed by the postal banks at less than 2 per cent, Mr. Taft is convinced that no hard work be done to the ordinary banks of commerce, for discriminating persons who now place their money in these banks and are appreciative of what these banks are doing for the community would not withdraw money drawing a high rate and place it under government care at half the interest offered by the ordinary savings banks. The money obtained through postal banks, the president and several of his closest banks, the president and several of his closest advisers believe, would offer a happy solution of the 2 per cent bond problem. Idle funds would be placed at the disposal of the government at an exceedingly low rate of interest. The government's guarantee, it is believed, would dam the steady flow of gold across the Atlantic to foreign banks under government control. President Taft expressed himself again, as he did so often during the campaign of a year ago, as unalterably opposed to a guarantee of bank deposits. Mr. Taft said he did not believe in making one set of bankers stand responsible for another set, and he does not think the national government or the states should undertake to extend a guarantee to institutions which are not under government control and direction. As to the charge of paternalism reflected in the postal bank idea, President Taft, in stating his position, declared he thought it far-reached. 15 MINERS KILLED. Cable Parts and the Cage Falls Fifteen Hundred Feet. Mexico, City.—A special dispatch from Mategaaulaha says that fifteen miners were killed and 20 imprisoned by the dropping of a cage into the La Paz mine there. The cable parted and the men dropped 1,500 feet. The accident was caused by a failure of the engine brakes to work. The cage was sent to the rafters of the shaft house, and the strain snapped the cable. PLANS FOR PRESIDENTS MEETING Mexico City, Mexico—Secretary of State Marcalgale gave out the program for the meeting of Presidents Taft and Diaz. President Taft will arrive at Juarez, across the border from El Paso at 10:40 a. m. October 16. At the same time the train of President Taft will roll into El Paso. At 11 o'clock President Diaz will cross the Rio Grande in his train and meet Mr. Taft. There will be no speeches, no reaching across a chalk-marked boundary line and no fireworks. Instead, the presidents will go to a banquet table, at which felicitations will be exchanged. ALABAMA LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS. Many Drastic Prohibition Bills Passed By Lawmakers Montgomery, Ala.—The special session of the Alabama legislature, which adjourned after twenty-two working days, accomplished the chief purpose for which it was called by passing the most drastic prohibition laws ever passed by any state, and capping the laws by submitting to the people an amendment to the constitution prohibiting the sale or manufacture of intoxicants in Alabama. The election will be held the last week in November. Governor Comer, in his call' for the extra session, urged a compulsory education law, and the submission of a constitutional amendment for biennial sessions of the legislature, and the creation of new counties. These three ideas failed, the educational' bill and the counties' amendment being defeated, and the biennial sessions proposition not being introduced. At least ten prohibition measures were passed. Under the new laws a person may not have liquor anywhere but his home. Keeping it at other places is made prima facie evidence that it is for sale. Prosecutions are to be made before chancellors, and not juries, and state attorneys and sheriffs may be impeached for failure to execute the laws. Foreign corporations may not do business of any kind in Alabama if it is shown that they sell or manufacture liquors in other states. New pure food and drug laws were passed; the state is given a completely new jury system, designed to aid prohibition prosecutions, and many changes were made in the civil code. Few railroad measures were passed. Many of those passed by other legislatures were repealed or amended to meet the opinions of federal courts. 200 PEOPLE DROWNED. Steamers Collide in Harbor of Montevideo, Uruguay. Montevideo, Uruguay—In a driving rain storm, the Argentine excursion steamer Colombia and the North German-Lloyd steamer Schlesien collided at the entrance of Montevideo harbor. The Schlesien was outward bound for Bremen. The Colombia's bow was crushed in and she sank almost immediately. Between 150 and 200 persons were killed or drowned. Most of the dead are women and children. A majority of the survivors are men. The Colombia was carrying excursionists from Buenos Ayres to festival at Montevideo and the disaster has caused the keenest emotion. The Uruguayan government, in consequence, has postponed the fetes arranged for the celebration of the inauguration of the port. NEGRO RUNS AMUCK Armed With Shotgun, Negro Roves Over Monroe, La., Firing at People. Monroe, La.-Angered, it is believed, because two of his friends had recently been shot by police officers in this city, William S. Wade, a negro, ran amuck on the principal business street of Monroe with a double-barreled shotgun, shooting first at every white man he saw and then firing indiscriminately at every object before him. The fire was returned, and the negro finally fell dead with a bullet through his heart, but not before 29 men, three of them members of his own race, had been more or less seriously-wounded. Martial Law in Mississippi Town Meadville, Miss. — With martial law in effect, state troops encamped about the court house, and, apparently, masters of the situation, Meadville is quiet, but withal there is a feeling of uncertainty as to what hours may bring forth. This situation follows an attempt to kill Ernest Newman, chancery clerk, and son of the leader of one faction in the Newman-Pritchard feud fight of several months ago, which brought about the death of four persons. Celebrate Birth of Admiral Semmes. New Orleans, L.A.-by command of General Clement A. Evans, commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, Adjutant General and Chief of Staff William E. Mickle issued from the headquarters in this city a general order calling for the observance of September 27, next, as the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Rear Admiral Raphael Semmes of the Confederate States navy. Gift of $25,000 to Emory. Oxford, Ga.-President James E. Dickey of Emory College announced that he had received a subscription of $25,000 for the endowment fund now being raised for the college from prominent naval stores and railroad men who has recently come to Atlanta to make his home. Indlaws Burned Woman. El Paso, Texas,—Believing a witch brought on the smallpox epidemic that caused the death of many of their children, the Indians of Huejotzingo, near Puebla, Mexico, owed to death an aged woman, Juanna Remiroz. They barricaded all the exits to her hut, set fire to it and watched her perish in the flames. Fear of Rats Caused Woman's Death. New York City.—Mrs. Sarah Nayler's fear of rats and mice led to her death, when she sought refuge on a chair from an imaginary mouse, and, losing her balance, tumbled out the third story window. She was crushed to death on the stone pavement. RURAL MAIL DELIVERY 13th Anniversary of Its Inauguration Approaching. 40,919 ROUTES IN OPERATION Some of the Good Influences That the Rural Free Delivery Routes Washington, D. C.-On October, 1, 1903, the thirteenth anniversary of the installation of rural delivery in the United States will be reached. In commemoration of the event some suitable recognition is suggested, as no branch of the postal service has had so recent a beginning with equally remarkable results. The honor of the first attempt to test the practicability of such a radical broadening of the operations of individual delivery rests with five routes from three postoffices in West Virginia. The innovation was so great that it took some time for the people to be benefited to realize the advantage in store for them. By the end of the third fiscal year after this service began but 301 routes were established, at an annual expenditure of $150,012. The convenience, as well as ethical, economical, commercial and educational benefits incident to this particular public utility were now so forcibly demonstrated that expansion went on rapidly, the cost aggregating up to the present time no less than $170,000,000. The 40,804 carriers in covering their 40,919 routes every secular day of the year, excepting New Year's, Washington's Birthday, Memorial or Decoration, Independence and Labor and Thanksgiving days, or the Monday following should those days fall on the Sabbath. In making their daily round, more than 20,000,000 rural residents are served. In looking back over what has been accomplished during the brief period of its existence, it is apparent that the rural delivery service is a great public convenience. Results are the best commendation and these are sustained by unanimous expressions of approval of patrons. From an ethical point of view the utility of the service is evident in many ways. It brings the rural population into neighborly relationship and promotes intercourse with nearby communities, and through them with cities, great and small. As a commercial proposition facilities are afforded to keep tab on the markets as to prices of products and commodities for sale or purchase. In this respect farmers especially find themselves greatly benefited by constant knowledge the conditions of trade. In an economical sense the public has derived advantage from the improvement and maintenance of roads over which rural delivery routes are laid, this being a condition precedent to the establishment of mail facilities. In addition good roads insure greater frequency and regularity of delivery by diesel or resupply cars, since the inauguration of this service, it is estimated that more than $75,000,000 has been expended in rebuilding, repairs and maintenance. As a means-of education, the widening of the utilization of the mails by rural free delivery has largely extended the circulation of local and metropolitan newspapers, magazines and general literature, besides having proved a stimulus to more extended personal correspondence. The popularity of rural delivery among farmers and others living away from communities having city mail facilities is shown in a summary of this service that Postmaster General Hitchcock ordered prepared in the office of the fourth assistant postmaster general un to August, 1909. This exhibit sives 40,919 routes in operation served by 40,804 carriers. Of the total number of routes 622 are trivially. In bringing the service up to its present high state of organization and efficiency, 60,180 petitions were received and investigated. Of this number 17,163 were reported upon adversely. At the close of this report 1,432 petitions were pending, of which 202 have been assigned for establishment between August 16 and October 1, 1909, leaving 1,230 unacted upon. The seeming discrepancy between the number of rural routes and carriers is accounted for by instances where there exists trivially service on more than one rural route out of two routes alternating each day. The state having the largest number of rural delivery routes at this date is Illinois, 2,284. There are seven states with more than New York (1,841- first in population, and four with more than Pennsylvania (2,163) second in number of inhabitants. DEFIES POWER OF THE STATE. Mayor of Atlantic City in Rebellion Against New Jersey. Atlantic City, N. J.-Interest in the reform movement in this city was intensified when Mayor Stoq officially refused to receive a notice from Attorney General Wilson, ordering him to close Atlantic City saloons on Sunday. The mayor said he knew the contents of the notice, which gave the names and addresses of thirty-eight saloons and hotel proprietors who are alleged to have sold liquor on Sunday, and he refused to accept service even after the paper and the signature of the attorney general had been read to him. LATE NEWS NOTES. GeneraL A freak corn tassel was taken from the farm of Fred Catt, near Arlington, Ind. The tassel is a bunch of green feliago fourteen inches in length and eight inches thick. The top of the bunch was similar in shape and color to that of the common tassel. Several smaller tassels were in the bunch. There were small, green shoots, in which grains of corn were forming. Each grain had a separate husk and stalk and silks were forming about the grain. Saying that she did not want to see President Taft "hobnob" with President Dlaz, "Mother" Jones, of labor union fame, announced that she intended to go to El Paso, Texas, to prevent the meeting of the two presidents. She did not say in what manner she would try and prevent the John D. Rockefeller spent several hours one day recently in putting Dr. W. C. Bitting, his former New York pastor, now of St. Louis, to what the oil king calls "the fire test of the links." The pastor outpointed him in a golf match over the Forest Hill course in which the two as partners were defeated seven strokes. Modern housewives are veritable Lucretta Borglans, declared Dr. Hairyey W. Wylie, head of the United States chemistry bureau, who is attending the National Convention of Pure Food and Dairy commissioners in Denver, Col. "The modern Lucretta," he said, "is here in flocks, using the telephone, handing out poison from the ice box, from the broiler and the skillet and the little this of dinner she buys when breathlessly rushing home, after her exciting bridge games at the club. It is the duty of every woman, whether she is a housewife cr not, to inform herself on the laws of hygiene. The average ice box is a channel house, which not, only holds death, but spreads it. And, too, many housekeepers allow disorder and uncleanliness to prevalent in their kitchen and larders through ignorance or indifference. They'd rather pick out a Beethoven sonata, read an Ibsen play, or memorize a bridge rule, than trace a ptomaine to its lair and eradicate it in the interest of family safety." Washington. The geological survey issued a report on coal produced in the United States for 1908. The figures for Alabama are 11,004,553 tons, as compared with 11,250,454 tons in 1907, a decrease of 2,645,861 tons, in round numbers the estimated decrease in the value of the coal as compared with the year before was $3,750,000. During the last twelve years, the period covering the administration of Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson, the agricultural balance of trade in the United States increased from a yearly average of $234,000,000 to $111,000,000, or 75.7 per cent, according to the department's year book just made public. Reports to the navy department say that the new United States torpedo boat Flusser, one of the new boats now building for the navy, had her preliminary builders' trial on the course of Rockland, Me. She made a speed of 31.03 knots, which makes her the swiftest vessel in the American navy. Rear Admiral C. S. Sperry,who took the Atlantic battleship fleet on its cruise from San Francisco to the Philippines and through the Suez canal to Hampton Roads, will be placed on the retired list. He has reached the age of sixty-two years. Heavy demands for the Hudson-Fulton commemorative stamps are now anticipated by the postoffice department and postmasters throughout the country have been notified that the department may find it impossible to expedite requisitions for these stamps. This special stamp will be issued in sheets of sixty instead of one hundred. the regulation number. Alarmed regarding the permanency of their state papers and other valuable documents, the leading governments of the world, headed by the United States, are seeking paper of as nearly an indestructible a character as it can be made. This announcement was made in a statement by the department of agriculture, which was prepared by F. P. Veitch, chief of the leather and paper laboratory, bureau of chemistry on "The Need for Good Paper." Confirmation of the story that Governor Blackburn, of the Panama canal zone, is about to resign to return to Kentucky, was given out by JJames Blackburn, his brother. It is announced that the former senator will bring a fine Arabian stallion back with him and establish a breeding farm, in Kentucky. The naval yacht Elfrida has been turned over to the state of North Carolina for the use of its naval brigade. The Elfrida has been for some time in use by the naval brigade of Connecticut and is used almost exclusively for this purpose. M. C. Cohen of Waynesboro, Ga., has been appointed special agent by the director of the census bureau of Washington, to take the ginners' record for the season of 1999-1910. Mr. Cohen is well known and popular and hts.friends are congratulating him on being honored by the department. The secretary of the treasury received a letter postmarked Passadena, Cal., from an unknown writer containing a $500 contribution to the conscience fund. One of the features of the encampment of Sons of Union veterans, was the discussion of the erection of a peace monument in Washington by the Sons of Veterans, U. S.

IRA W. HENDERSON, oe a~Wha is Making a Tour of the Holy Landes Te . (Special Correspondence.) Jerusalem.— The Turkish empire of to-day 1s, especially in its official operations, a different empire from what it was three months ago. In some respects it is a different empire so far as the lives of the people are concerned. The marvelous revolution of a month ago, which secured the elevation of the fifth Mohammed to the Qttoman throne, is already pro- ducing noticeable results. The year-old Constitution was re- sponsible for a marked broadening of the official vision of Turkish author!- ties, but the most remarkable changes have come to pass since the depost- tion of Abdul Hamid. . _ It is rio such trying task to-day to enter the country as it has been .con- sidered to be since the memory of man runneth. The day of discourtesy ,and discomfort and unnecessary scru- ‘tiny at the ports of call has evidently passed. The writer has embarked ‘and disembarked no fewer than five times within the past three weeks at the principal ports of Palestine, Jaffa, Halfa and Beirut without experienc- ing any more trouble with customs of- ficers than is usual fn any European port. A friend who has been conduct- ing parties from the States to Pales- tine for fifteen years asserts that it has pever been so easy to go and come as now. Steamship agents tell the same story. It is the testimony of the average man one questions as one wanders through the land. Fitty times at least different men have sald, “It fs not Ike it used to be.” To be sure, if one does not care to have his baggage opened he may, even now, secure immunity by the payment of “backsheesh.” But it does ot mat- ter much whether or hot one offers a “gift.” At Jaffa the writer kept his “gift” to himself. The customs agent very politely asked that the baggage be opened, and after a very courteous examination passed it. The trouble was “nil.” It was not necessary even to produce 2 passport. ‘The freedom of the press is some- thing ‘heretofore unknown. The na- tive papers are saying very nearly, if not quite, Just what they think on the political problems which perplex the empire and which mean so much to millions of the subjects of the Sultan. Only the other ddy an editorial in a Beirut paper, published in French, criticised the lassitude and incapacity of the local municipal authorities as stringently as New York -dailles dic- tate to the Mayor. They even dared to suggest among other things that the city fathers should keep horses from feeding on the already inade~ quate ‘sidewalks of Beirut, and that the multitude of wild-running, noisy dogs should be exorcised. THese sug- gestions in answer to the statement of the city government that a city can not be transformed without money. Only those who are aware of the ina- Menable rights of Palestinian dogs and horses and donkeys can appre- clate the audacity of these proposals, Humorously illustrative this is of an- other point of view that has hereto- fore had short shrift. Seriously, re- form is In the alr. If it is easier to enter and leave the country than it was, it is also easier to move through Palestine, particu- larly, than heretofore. To go across Jordan or to such a place as Petra it was formerly necessary to ask,for a permit, which as often as not was re- fused. To go without leave meant 2 fine. Those who wanted to go fre- quently went first and accounted for the violation of the law afterward. Then they paid a fine and the incfdent ‘wes closdd. To-day such permits are unnecessary. Heretofore a traveler at Hasta, Naz- areth, Tiberias, Damascus and Baal- bek has been under the strictest sur- velllance. It has been necessary to report to the local police authorities with one's papers at once. Fees were collected for registration, and gratul- ties were always cheerfully received. Fajlure to report meant that a more NEW RIVALS OF THE POTATO. Southern States Growing Some Hitherto ‘Un - known Vegetables. 5 Efforts have been made to intro- duce in the Southern States, certain useful vegetables hitherto unknown to this country, which are known in tropical regions as the yautia, the dasheen and the taro. The last named fs already familiar as an or- namental plant, under the namo of caladium or “elephant’s ear.” All three are nearly related and their statchy, edible roots are highly pried in warm latitudes. These roots, indeed,-resemble the common potato In composition and in flavor. That of the yautla, for exam- ple, when properly ceoked, 1s not eas- ily distinguished trom the “Irish” tu- ber.» It fs sometimes white, some- times red and sometimes yellow, ac- cording to variety. So rich is it in starch that It ylelds nearly one-third of its weight In flour, and its leaves are prepared for ‘the table after the manner of spinach. ‘One reason why it {s deemed desir- able to introduce these plants is that they flourish in land that fs too wat dor ordinary crops. It has been as- certained that they will grow well {a : this country as far north as the Caro- or less indignant official would czll upon the careless traveler at his (the officer's) earliest convenience. All that {s changed; no longer are “Mes- sleurs les yoyageurs,” as the French call the tourists, followed up Ike crooks. At Baalbek, for example, a courteous, cheery official put a smil- Ing face through the open window of the compartment and asked the trav- eler for a sight of his passport and a simple statement of whence he came and whither traveling. There are more unveiled women in Palestine than heretofore. Even now women are not conspicuous by their presence and number upon the Orfen- tal streets of upper Egypt and Pales- tine, except in distinctively Christian communities, but the number of un- velled Mohammedan women seen upon the narrow thoroughfares, though relatively small and confined largely to the less wealthy classes, 1s large enough to compel exclamations of sur- prise from seasoned travelers to whom Palestine is anoft read volume. ‘The native! who expresses any sym- pathy for Abdul Hamid the writer has yet to meet. To be sure, there are those who have lost office with the downfall of the old regime who would be glad ta see the return of the clden days of treacheryand blood- shed, but the mass of the people is satisfled, !f comnion testimony is ot any certain account. The general judgment seems to be that there is no reason to mourn the fact that Abdul Hamid fs a prisoner at Salonika. “Ho killed thousands” {s the oft repeated statement. Pictures of the new Sul- tan, more gaudy than complimentary to the subject, are in frequent evi- dence. The foundations for a regenerated empire are not all laid, and there may be trouble here and there between Iz- norant Mussulmans+ and ignorant Christians in Asia Minor. Liberty means license to not a few and many have the lesson to learn that true liberty Is the fruitoge of a calm self-restraint. The pupils of some Protestant institutions are a bit unreasonable in their demands. Some of the Greek Catholics at Jerusalem are anxious to rectify the errors of administration of that communion over night. Others seem not yet to have learned that the new govern- ment is at present popular and in earnest. Still others, perhaps, will not be cultured by the executfons”of the ringleaders of the massacre at ‘Adana. But the careful observer must admit that the day fs better. ‘The power of the Mberal party, the ‘backbone of which consists of Young Turks, is enlarging. The grip of that cool, commendable organization composed of the best minds, both Moslem and Christian, in the empire, upon the political fe of Western, Asia is as potential as it is prodig- ious. The Turkish empire stands just within the threshold of a glorious era —an era that means much for Pales- tine. The hands of the clock ‘of pro- Bress are now pointing toward civic and. religious Wberty; the Turk has his face to the future — a, future fraught with possibilities, the realiza- tion of which will yet mako him proud of his once despised country.—From ‘the Brooklyn Dally Eagle.

It was cultivated by the aborigines in those parts centuries before soa bus discovered America, Even to the Present day its roots, which look somewhat like sweet potatoes, are raised on the islands of that archi- pelago in great quantities, the, pro- duction often reaching ten tons to the acre.

So great-a man was he that he remained aloof from the rest of the passengers and had most of his meals in his room. When occasionally he took a turn on deck the few who had 2 bowing acquaint- ance with him very gratefully at- knowledged his grudging salutes The very atmosphere bristled with thoughts and sounds of dollars as ho passed. One day a young man, Europ bound, was taking a constitutional whose route led past the window of,js room wherein the financier sdf; ‘There was the great man, just a by; ‘iow visible, big clgar in bis mow} and hat cocked on one side ot A head, his eyes directed down, appt ently in the deepest thought. ="! ‘The young man, greatly impressef! said to himself: “Ab, there he sits probably planning some great coupl Probably at this moment he {sdb bating a joining of railroad interpgtg or a move that will make or unmake thousands.

This business of being a great man in the market has its drawbacks, too." Two or three times more the young man walked by, Finally he ‘thought he would walk over closer ‘to the window.

Gamekeeper's Gallows. Im the olden days the samekeeper set up his vermin gallows in each of his big woods, It was to his credit to show that he had killed a large ‘amount of vermin; on his gallows he wrote his own testimonial. Nearly all the vermin he killed was duly dis- played. Now the day of the gallows is passing. Keepers have little time to give ta the display; nor do employers always encourage it. No doubt there Is a growing feeling against the destruc- tion of wild life imvolved by the pres- ervation of game; the gallows foster this and lead to bitter, If often mis- judged, attacks. Keepers are con- tenting themselves with a modified form of gallows, as the trunk of a tree, to which the heads, tails, or claws of the malefactors are nailed. Of course small gallows do not speak of the keeper's successful war wag- ing in the old marner of the old fash- foned, full measure pattern, but there igs much in their favor.

Some years ago learned men in Paris gravely studied the phe- nomena, even had a Iot of films taken of a cat falling from a great height. These showed that as soon as puss began to fall a curlous turning move- ment of the hindquarters began, and just before she touched ground she was right side up. A German professor went his fel- low-scientists one better and proved a cat in falling changed its centre of gravity by rotary twists of the tail. The professor further observed that these twists were the reverse of those of the rest of the body.

Recently the Iatter served notice on the widow that the lot be- longed solely to him and that she could not be buried there. Mrs, Davis thereupon began prep- arations for the removal of the body, but Davis mounted guard with a shot- gun. He also prepared to encase the casket in concrete so that St could not be moved.

"Tis truly said that "he who laughs first, laughs well; but he who laughs last, laughs best." OPPRESSION in every instance, should bring unity. The laws aiming at us as a race should cause us to stick more closely together and work in unity for each other welfare. Let oppressive laws the more cause us to support the enterprices of the race and the establishment of new ones. HECTOR APOLLINAIRE is the name of a Negro who was admitted to the bar in Paris a few weeks ago. He is a native of Guadeloupe about 30 years old, tall and muscular and very black. He enjoys the distinction of being the only one of his race among the recognized lawyers of Paris.—Catholic Exchange. MR. LEE, the census supervisor for the tenth district has made himself a stalwart by asserting that he will divide the work in his district equally between the races. It is the studied effort on the part of some to disregard the claim of colored Republicans. Should Mr. Lee carry out his assertion he will certainly occupy a large space in the good thoughts of our people and will be honored accordingly. SAVANNAN is agitating the holding of a mammoth exposition in 1915 to commemorate the opening of the Panama canal. With a "pull altogether" this should be made a success and our colored citizens should do their part in adding to its success. THE TRIMUNE feels that whatever benefits our white citizens, benefits us also, therefore we should aid in all movements for the city's good. LITTLE more than a month hence the tax and registration books will be opened. At this time will come the test as to who will be able to register under the disfranchisement law. It behooves our voters all over the state to prepare for this events and by all means be ready and able to be placed on the list. Under no circumstances should our present registered number be diminished. THE TRIBUNE and its readers noted with pleasure a few weeks ago the report by Supt. Ashmore recommending an additional school building for our children. We feel very kindly to Mr. Ashmore for this very gracious recommendation, and the hope is expressed that he will do all that he can consistently to further this recommendation and give us this much needed building. The members of our board are among our best and foremost citizens and we feel assured that they will act favorably upon the recommendation of Supt. Ashmore along this line. "A bill has been introduced in the Georgian legislature to separate the school funds—allowing the taxes paid by the blacks to go to their schools. This seems to meet the approval of TIRS SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, as the taxes paid by the blacks would be a neat sum for school purposes. Here is another surrender to class legislation which is prohibited by law. But law is not law in Georgia unless the lawless want it so. THE TRIBUNE and other fair laws should oppose the measure on the higher grounds on constitutional law, for the final triumph of which we are all praying." The above is clipped from the Brooklyn Eye. Our contemporary is mistaken when it says that the measure meets our approval. We simply intended to infer that should the measure become a law and the fund be justly divided, that the colored children would receive more money than they are now receiving. We agree with the Eye that such measures, even though beneficial, should be fought "on the higher grounds of constitutional law." THE TRIBUNE is among that class of race journals that endeavor to hew to the line of principle. The loafing class not alone in this, but in other cities makes it hard for us as a race. The idle boy or man who would shirk work, should be forced to labor on the poor farm. In the vicinity of our office there are three pool rooms within "a stone's throw" of each other. From morning till mid- night these places are infested with a loafing class of boys and young men. How they live is a mystery. These loafers "hang out" at times on the street corners using vulgar language and insulting passers-by. At times they begin fighting among themselves and cause the air to be vivid with words. Generally the places are not to be seen. Chief Aus in and his excellent force should clean out these dives and keep the loafers from infesting the street corners. The returns of our people in this county as consolidated by Tax Reciever Baker, show that during the year they returned $621,500.00 for city real estate, land and improvements $225,670.00, and for other lands, merchandise, household goods, etc., $25,552.00, making a total of $872,722.00. This is a good showing for a people who about forty years ago were pennyless and ignorant. This much should inspire us to greater effort and next year the amount should be greatly increased especially if our young men and those of family would purchase property and homes. We can hardly believe that we are living in a civilized country after reading the accounts of the numerous cases of lynchings throughout the country, and too, for such trivial cases. For instance in a Southern state a colored man was lynched because he had the audacity of suing a white man who killed his cow. This is the limit. Another recent case was the shooting of a colored man and the burning of his body in a town, surrounded by hundreds of people. How revolting! What's the use sending missionaries to Africa. There is sufficient work at home for them. In it all we advise our people to continue to be law-abiding and do not chafe under wrongs being inflicted upon them and laws that are oppressive. Convict Captain and Guard Dismissed In our last issue mention was made of the death of a convict on the chaining of this county and the suspension of the convict captain and guard who were charged with having cruelly beaten the inoffensive prisoner. The prompt action of the county commissioners in acting on the case was commended. An investigation of the facts in the case was held at the court house on Tuesday. It developed that the poor prisoner was sick, having been previously struck in the head which caused a serious wound, and that being in this condition was unable to work and was beaten and otherwise ill-treated by the captain and guard. The county commissioners decharged them. It is rumored that the case will be presented to the grand jury for indictment. Our able county commissioners need the commendation of the good citizens in this case and in their endeavor to keep up the good reputation of our county in the matter of good treatment to its councils. Practical and Interesting Paper. At the recent session of the Georgia State Medical Association held in Augusta, Dr. J. Walter Williams, one of our prominent physicians, read a practical and interesting paper entitled "Report of Some Abdominal Surgical Cases of Pathologic Traumatic and Freakish Origin." This excellent paper was published in full in the Journal of the National Medical Association of Tuskegee. It contains description of several cases attended by the doctor, and it is very interesting even to the laymen. Cutton-Lewis Our old friend Editor Walter I. Lewis of the Metropolis, elicits our congratulation on becoming a beneficent. This happy event took place on Wednesday evening last at the Ebenezer Church at Jacksonville, and the charming bride is Miss Caroline C. Cutton, one of the prominent teachers of that city.

National Negro Business League All things considered, the tenth annual session of the National Negro Business League, held here this week was the largest, finest and most profitable of the series which began in Boston in 1900 The citizens of Louisville had been heralded far and wide as a people noted for open-handed hospitality and general public spirit. On this occasion they not only sustained this time honored reputation, but outdid themselves in providing happy homes, a commodious auditorium for the meetings, and a program of entertainments that kept the stranger within their gates constantly on the go from the call to order at Chestnut Street C M E Church on Wednesday morning until the curtain fell upon the magnificent banquet given by the local committee on Friday night at spacious Liedorkranz hall. The Ohio Falls Metropolis more than kept every promise made The delegates in attendance numbered upwards of five hundred, far exceeding the registration of any registration of any previous ineting. In quality as well as in quantity they measured up to the high standard set by the organization. Every conceivable phase of Negro activity in the arena of business industries and the professions were aby represented and the addresses gave evidence of careful preparation, abounded in 'practical suggestions, and made a lasting impression upon all who heard them. The Louisville convention marks a distinct step forward, for the National Negro Business League in a commercial, moral and inspirational sense, and perpetuity of the organization has been more firmly established than ever before. Through the time that the deepest interest was manifested on the part of both races and all classes of citizens and to the final day's proceedings, indicated as high, a degree of enthusiasm as that which characterized the first. At every point the magnetic influence of the personality of Dr. Booker T Washington was in evidence and at no time was there a departure from the ideals upon which the League was founded. McBae Dots. Miss Lila McRae and Mrs. Bertha Kershaw attended the grand session of the O. E. S., at Quitman, Ga. and reported a nice time. Mrs. Mary Foster of Waycross, is visiting her mother, Mrs. Vina Williams.

Brown, pastor. Celebrating the Fifthth Anniversary of Freedom Some time ago about May 31, Principal E. L. Blackshear, of the Prarie View State Normal School for Negroes, addressed an open letter to Booker T. Washington through The New York Age calling upon the Negro people to celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the freedom of the Negro people. At the same time he invited Dr. Washington to give the weight of his influence toward making such a project a success. Dr. Washington, in reply to Mr. Blackshear's suggestion, has sent him the following letter: My Dear Mr. Blackshear: Replying further to your communication of some weeks ago, in which you ask me to take the lead in a movement for the holding of an exposition in 1913 to celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the freedom of the Negro race I would state that I am giving this, matter very careful consideration and in due time I shall hope to reach a definite decision. In the meantime I should like to get all the information and all the opinions on the subject from as many sources as I can. The National Negro Business League, which meets in Louisville on the 18th, 19th, and 20th of August, as I understand it, is going to take up the subject for consideration. I understand that you are to be present on that occasion. Yours very truly, BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Aug. 12, 1909. St. Paul Dots. Attendance was very large at each service Sunday. Rev W T Moreau probed an excellent sermon at ra o'clock, and those present were much impressed The Woman Missionary society was well attended at a o'clock. Rev Reed addressed the society. His address was timely, uplifting and very encouraging. Too much cannot, be said in praise of the good and noble work the Woman Missionary Society is doing and those who attend these Sunday afternoon meetings are benefited, Rev. W, T. Moore preached again at the evening service in his usual spiritual way. He drove to the heart of his hearers the soul stirring message of God On tomorrow services as usual and friends in general are invited to attend. F. B. B. Chureh. The baptism on last Sunday morning was preceded by a sermon on baptism by Licentiate Charlie Wright. It was much appreciated by all who heard him. The communion service was very largely attended. There were many visiting teachers, deacons and members. Rev. Wright told them to feel free and make themselves at home. Rev. Wright read for the lesson Luke 22:47-61. The text was from Luke 22:55; the subject was "Peter denied Christ" The sermon was an excellent lesson to Christians, showing that by associating with bad company we will be made to deny our Lord, you will be like a stock of corn growing among weeds, you never will amount to anything, the corn may have one ear on it with a few grains on the ear, just so your fruit will be very scant. When the bad company has reduced you to nothing they will leave you to perish and die. The choir sang "Let Him in." Rev Wright led the hymn "See in the vineyard of the Lord" He made very beautiful remarks and gave many fine illustrations while inviting sinners to the mercy seat. Prayer was offered. We are very anxious to have you attend our services and do not forget our Tuesday night prayer meeting. F. A. B. Church. F. A. B. Church The palpit was filled on last Sunday by the Rev G H Howell formerly of Union Bethel Baptist Church, Jefferson County Ga, but recently connected with this church. The pastor Rev W L Jones is now on vacation and visiting it of interest in North Carolina, will be back to assume charge on the first Sunday in Sepember. The sermons preached by Rev Howell were richly enjoyed by the members and friends present. The rally which was planned by the pastor some few weeks ago resulted in a crowning success and marked much to his credit as a financier as well as pastor. Despite the dull season of the year for raising money in churches by means of rallies $662.82 represents the work of 100 per cent appointed as captain, less eleven who haven't reported up to last Sunday. When the remaining eleven will have reported no doubt the rally will reach $800 00. The most successful captains are as follows: Captain No 2 Deacon B H Maxwell raised $38.95, Captain No 32 Brother C H Johnson $37.78, Captain No 9 Trustee J H John $22.50, Captain No 26 Brother J H Saiders, $20.95, Captain No 1, the pastor figured prominently among the successful captains, but was not entered into the contest. Brother C H Johnson No 32 won the laurel for having reported the most money at the time first appointed to terminate the rally, but Deacon B H Howell was out in the extension of the work when the captain reserved credit for having raised the above figures, but space will not permit their names and amount. The wide spread enthusiasm of this rally will no doubt bring in many envelopes with dollars and coins for several months to come, as quite a number have been distributed among the membership by each captain. Tomorrow will be Missionary day. The Sunday School will have special exercises commensurate with the day at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Supt J A Bryder and his efficient corps of teachers have been drilling the children for several weeks and quite a spicy programme will be carried out. You are invited to each service.

At cach side of the creek bank set a good heavy post deep enough into the ground that it will not wash away. At the bottom of-each of these posts fasten just at the surface of “the creek bed the windlass-headded log, by using two clips made of heavy tire-iron.

This latter piece -serves as a weight, in case of high- water when the rubbish,etc,, will pass over the gate with the force of the water and as the water subsides the weight brings the gate back Into po- sition again. This gate if made properly, is conventent, long lasting, cannot be washed away and is posi- .tive proof against all kinds of stock, as well as hogs.—Geo. W. Brown, in the Epltomist. Sw bs . i ; i a ae - In poultry, as well as in butter and milk, the farmer's wife can establish a reputation for having the best. Let her sce to it that eggs over a week old are never marketed, and when she Kills and markets birds let them be in prime condition—well-fattened and carefully dressed and cleaned. ‘There are people in every city and fa nearly every village who want such products a little better than the common run of only half-decent qual- ity, and these people are always will- ing to pay 2 good price for good art!- cles. They want eggs to be absolute- ly fresh and cleansed from filth and {mpurities which do not make the egg appear appetizing, and they want thelr fowls to be fat and carefully prepared for the table. Particular patrons are always willing to pay for the extra care and labor required to ring about these conditions, and it is a profitable fleld of work which should recelve more attention than ft does.—R. B. Sando, in the Epltomist. Food Stuffs by Weights. Doctor Wiley, the chemist of the Department of Agriculture, Is push- ing the campaign to Induce the sale of food stuffs to the consumer by weight instead of volume, The doc- tor severely arraigns the manufac- turers who have steadily opposed Representative Mann's amendment to the Pure Food’ Law to compel the sale of foods by welghts. Egg-sellins by the dozen instead of by weight, for instance, fs a relic of ploneer days when people had nefther scale or measure. If there fs any food prod- ‘uct which should be sold by weight it isi eggs. Scrub-hen eggs will run eleven, twelye, or, thirteen to the pound, Leghorns will run nine or ten, Minoreas seven and a half to elght,and Brahmas sometimes as heavy as.seven to the pound. These figures vary considerably with differ: -qu2 flocks. And yet as a rule all sel ‘tor the same price. Large, selected eggs will bring an advance price to the fancy trade, but still much less thai their real value. For instance, If twelve-fo-the-pound eggs fetch twenty-five cents a dozen, seven-to- the-poynd eggs should bring forty- three cents a dozen, The seontes of the weisht method of egg selling would probably .do more than any- thing else to obliterate the scrub hen. Matinz Breeders. ~ The subject of mating the breed- ing pen would doubtless attract more ready attention in a “fanciers? jour- nal” than in a farm paper, but never- theless it {s a matter that 1s,deserv, ing of more attentiontthan ft getS trom the farming class. We do not mean by this thateen farmer should go out into his poultry yard with an “American Standard of Perfection” in his hand and carefully pick out only those birdg of the bigh- est “fancy” quailty, although this ts a good thing. But by all means the farmer should breed from his fé¥ best birds rather than indiscrimin- ately from the whole bunch of good, bad and indifferent fowls running around In his barnyard. The fancler who gets to the top 1s the one who carefully and cldsely picks out each year only big very choicest specimens and breeds trom these exclusively. As a natural re- sult, his flocks become better and bet? ter each year? Following out this same practi¢al idea, the farmer who is breeding for heavy egg-production stonld pick out his very best layers to be used as breeders, aid in the course of a few generations the habit of prolificacy will become firmly es- tablished in this famity. In the same way the man who fs breeding: for srea* size and good market points in bis fowls should an- nually pick out his largest and best developed specimens and breed only from these. It Will not be long until this man will have a reputation for marketing the ‘biggest and best chickens in all the neighborhood and he will get better prices than his un; progressive nelghbor. Not only this, but when one markets, say, one -hune dred chickens at ten cents per pound. ft Is at once clear that the lot that averages elght pounds each will bring $80, while the lot that averages five pounds each will bring only $50. ‘The difference in welght 1s not un- common between the carefully se- lected flock and the unculled one, and the difference of $30 represents an amount obviously worth looking aftef.—R.

In an Irish garrison town a theat- rieal company was giving perforni- ances, and some roldiers from. the local barracks were engaged to act as supers. Their duties included the waging of a fierce fight In which, af- ter a stirring struggle, one army was defeated on a given signal. from the prompter. For a few nights all went Well, but on the Friday evening a special performance of the piece was to be given understhe patronage of the Colonel and other officers of the garrison. The two armies met as usunl at the end of the second act, when they foughtandfought and kept on fighting, regardless of the agon- ized glare in the eye of their (actor) general, who hoarsely ordered the proper army to “Retreat, copfound you!" But the fight still went on, and soon the horrified manager saw the wrong army being driven slowly off the stage, still fighting desperate- ly. Down came the curtain amid roars of laughter, and the taming manager hastened to ask the delin- quents why they bad failed to retreat on hearing the stgnal. “Retraite,” roared a burly fustiier, whoso visage had been badly bat- tered, ‘and Is it retraite ye'd have us: wid. the colonel and all the officers ip the boxes?"—Tit=Bits.

For this reason hard surface roads In Florida are a luxury In most counties except Dade, and here there are more miles of rock road than in any other county In the State of Flor- 1da. To those unfamiliar with the subject this {s probably a surprising statement, but to all good roads en- thusfasts ft will appear familar. At the present time there are some 200 miles of hard, rock roads in Dade County, other than the paved streets of cities and towns, and the present Board of County Commissioners have other roads in course of construction and are anticipating the building of fifty miles more of new roads outside of the 200 miles already bullt, and ‘the new roads in course of construc- ‘tion and contemplated. | The city of Mlamt and the city of West Palm Beath, are thoroughly “paved and are an example of city road ‘building, having.practically the best ‘Paved streats In the Sonth. These roads are constructed of the lime rock that is quarried at the lower part of Dade County, principally in ‘the neighborhood of the town of Ojus. This rqck has begn given the name of Miami rock, and it is seldom re- ferred to as Dade County or Florida rock. It 1s white, limelike in sub- stance and hardens with exposure. At Atlantic Beach, Mr. H. E. Bemis, “manager of the Hotel Continental, also of the Royal Poinciaza at Palm Beach, and tho Colonial at Nassau, made a valuable experiment in road building by first puttingdown a heavy layer of cinders, covering’this with a coating of five to elght inches of Mlaml rockyfbe result being that the rains percolated through the cinders and the exposure to the air cemented the whole mass into a solid macadam. ‘This method of road building {s now being carried out on the Okee- chobee road extending from West Palm Beach across the marsh lands to the farming and fruit growing gpuntry that is now being developed. About ninety miles of the county roads wxtend in a north and south di- rection, 2 part of-the main trunk line of the so-called Appian Way that ts expected eventually will connect through ‘from the Homestead coun- try, south of Miaml, to Jacksonville; this ninety miles extends from one- halt mile south of West Palm Beach. The distance between West Palm Beach and Milam! is about seventy- six miles, and south of Mlamt to one- halt mile below Perrine the distance ts about eighteen miles, which makes up the entire main lne, except the connecting link between Homestead and Redlands, of about four miles. Running to this main line there are in the neighborhood of 110 miles of rock road, these laterals being largely in the Miami district, while a portfon are in the district lying to the north and south of Miami. Owing to the rocky nature of the land around Miami, a great many roads have been built by private sub- scriptions, as the parties in clearing thelr land were able to put the rock where tho roads were required, and with the private subscriptions the county roller and other machinery se- cured to complete the road. Among the best of these lateral roads running out from Miamt {s the stretch to the Orange Glade section, five and one-half ‘miles {n length. To General Samuel C. Lawrence's grape frult grove three and one-half miles of the best rock road in the State is Duilt, and is a favorite thoroughfare tor farmers, visitors and home people. ‘At West Palm Beach there is un- der construction the femous Okee- chobeo road, a little over four miles In length at the present time. a road that opens to settlement some of the finest truck and vegetable lands in Dade County. These are practically, all the laterals in the northern por- tion of the county, except a few small stretches of road at Stuart, Delray, Boynton and other towns. , ‘While some of the best lands in the county are in its northern part, owing to adverse circumstances the northern part has not been favored by the county commisstoners in road build- ing, and it was ‘also practically im- possible for privkte individuals to build roads because of the lack of rock with which to build without pay- ing heavy transportation charges from the quarries near Miami, as the Jands that are being opened west of ‘West Palm Beach, and, in fact, all the land in dhe northern end of the county from Stuart to Deerfield are free from surface rock. While this makes it inespenstve for the settler in clearing and preparing his land it makes it a Uttle harder for road building. In the southern portion of the During Change of Life, says Mrs. Chas.

While in most of them it is of an acid, irritant nature, in others it may contain a powerful cardiac seda- tive and deptessart, and ta still oth- ers organisms pure or mized cultures may be introduced with the sting or dite. Apart from the natural poison used by insects, It should not be for- gotten that files and other Insects that live on carrion may easily carry con tagion and {noculate. the persons whom they bite or sting, says Health. In the case of ordinary bites and stings the chemical antidote is a strong solution of bicarbonate of soda or potash, which counteracts the acid of tho sting. Suction at the wound jn all these varieties of stings and bites will draw out some of the poison, and unti) some antitoxin treatment can be found which will prove an’ antidote to the bacterlal poison intro- duced little can be done beyond the stimulating and supporting treatment, mith sftention to symptoms—New York World. : We ee oe Guest—Mercy!

The little tot ate tho Grape-Nuts and cream greedily, and the mother continued the. good work, and it was not long before a truly wondertal change manifested itselt, in the child's taco and body.

SOSCOGOCOOOOOOSCOSSCOCSOSS “Stranger hereabouts, I reckon?” said the driver, inquiringly, as he pulled up his horsés on the plateau to get their wind, before beginning the descent into the gulch, through which the perilous mountain road ran in a narrow track of white dust, fringed by wild sagebrush and chapparral, “Reckoned everybody knowed the story of Yates’ Ranch?” I reminded the driver that for four years I had been In Europe, and that this‘was my first trip overland to Cal- fornia. It was In '49, long before a Pullman car had been -dreamed of, and while the great railway, which now stretches from sea to sea, was a magnificent scheme yet unborn In the dusy brains of its projectors, who at that time were carcless schoolboys, doubtless, intent on tops and balls, and kites with stupendous tails. Every traveler of that time knows the dismal track which had to be crossed in the overland journey— mostly on the backs of mules, but sometimes for a little distance on the top of lumbering cogches, every lurch of which seemed to wrench body and soul apart, to say nothing of the im- minent risk of broken backs and necks by-being hurled over some yawning precipice. * . Yates’ Ranch was one of the very few human habitations we had passed during the last three days, but no smoke ascended from its chimney, and the wild mountain bushes grew on the rude doorstep. It was evident- ly uninhabited. For want of some- thing better to say I had suggested as much to old Saunders, the driver. I knew by the expression on Wis face that there was a story. I passed my pipe along to him. Nothing ltke the influence of tobacco to loosen a man’s tongue. “Come, old fellow,” sald I, “let's hear the whole of it.” | * Saunders drew a meditative whiff or two, and started his horses. “Stiddy there, Digby,” said he. “Whoa, Satan. Drat the critter, he allers shies at that heap of stones, and no wonder, for that’s the grave of a murderer, stranger.” Here Saunders blew outa mouthful of smoke in my face, whipped in his Jeaders and regarded the distant snow-clad peaks of the Sferras with a contemplative eye. 7 “Reckon we'll have snow afore many days, stranger. The’ air shaves like a razor.” “But about the murderer's grave, old fellow?” “On! ah! wall, it's a niceish sort of a place for a feller of that kind to put hisself under. Good lookout, if he should fancy to rise up and takeoa squint around. Snug, too, with bushes all around, and doosed handy to where she’s buried, tdo, if that’s any object.” Saunders took a slight pull at a flask which he carried in his pocket, and after tendering the vile smelling stuff to me, and smiling with evident satisfaction at my refusal, he began his story. “Five years ago last June Tom ‘Yates cum here from New. York. His wife was along with him. None of your second class trash about them. Both of ’em was upper crust clean through. The woman, she was as handsome as a picter, with a red on her cheeks that made a feller think of the clouds about sundown, and a flash in her eyes that no diamonds 1 ever seed could’ begin to hold e candle io. She was a regeler high stepper— like that off leader there—jest the kind of woman for women folks to hate like pisen, and for men to go crazy pver. She had piles of dresses and jewels, and I’ve seen her, dressed lke a queen,: cooking Yates’ supper of hominy and venison, and never los- ing her dignity 2 particle. “Yates he was one of them quiet, still tongued chaps that a body can’t find out much about, but he loved his wife to distraction, and couldn't skeercely bear her out of his sight. His eyes follered her all the time, and he'd fly to help her about anything he "could do, jest as if he was her lover instid of her husband, And he was a mighty handy man about a house. “He had a claim back there on that yer hill that we've passed—a sort of a rich ’un, too; and as it was more’n he could work he staked some of it off and sold {t out in lots to other parties. So that at one time there Was quite a smartish’ little village Xates’ Ranch. ADE & lew Gays at rates, tor he was a charitable fellow, and I had neither ‘ith nor kin, I couldn't move hand } nor foot for the cussed pain, ‘but I ‘could seo and hear sharp enuff. The two strangers came in and throwed ‘off their wet coats. Mrs. Yates was a stooping over the fire baking the ban- ‘nocks for supper, when they came in. | She riz up slowlyand ‘looked at them! Never shall I forget the way that sun- set red went out of her face. She growed as-pale as a corpse, throwed her arms up in a wild, crazy way and started to rush out of the room. One ot the men—the one she had been looking at—grabbed her by the arm savagely, and his yolce sounded like the hiss of a rattlesnake. “‘T have found you!” said he. ‘And now, Elizabeth Osgood, I will have my revenge! also wife! heartless mother! you shall die!” “He drew a pistol and pointed it at her head. “Yates sprang upon him fiercely, but the woman laid her white hand on his arm.and held him quiet while she spoke to the stranger. “John Osgood,’ said she, in a cold, hard tone, that made my aching bones [shake with terror, ‘I am no wife of ‘yours! You won me by a lie! You told me that Tom was talse—was married to another—and I, fool that I was, believed the words of a tongue which had never spoken anything but Mes. And out of pique I married you! You knew I hated you, for did I not tell you so? Afterward Tom came! I loved him! In heaven's sight I was his wife—what did I care how the world thought? I fied with hin to this wild solitude, and I will never leave him! You may kill bim if you ke—my corpse you can carry with you—but my living body—never!’ “How her eyes sparkled, and her cheeks flamed with crimson! She looked like a giantess, but she was a Uttle woman, and as she stood there In her rage, her shining brown head would not have reached above my shoulder. For a moment Osgood fell back, and I thought he was going to back out, but the next Instant he sprang forward. Yates closed with him, There wasa dreadful struggle. Both used knives, and the blood was red all over the floor. “I groaned and cussed because 1 was obliged to lay there’and not lift a finger, and the other man was hold- ing the woman. Yates was getting the better of Osgood. for he was a strong wiry man, and he had a tem- per like a tiger. Osgood realized it, so did the other stranger. “‘Curse him! shoot him, Osgood, and have'done with it!’ eried he. “There was a sharp click of a pis- tol, and the sound of the shot almost together, and Yates fell over in a heap on the floor. I knowed he was done for, and I shrieked like a fiend my rage at being so helpless, “Tam finished, Lizzle,’ said the poor feller. ‘Good-bye, darling— good-bye!” : “She broke away from the man who held her, and flung herseif on the dying Yates, I heard her words distinctly. ““Kill me, Tom!’ she cried. ‘Quick, before he seizes me again! Your pistol—where Is it? Here fs my heart! Oh, Tom! Tom! thank heaven, we shalt dic together!" “Then the sharp report of a pistol shattered the air. I saw the ‘smoke cloud for a moment Yates and his love, then his arms were wound round her and hers round him, and they were dead. Stranger, rhumatiz was powerless to keep me there any long- er. I leaped to my feet and out into the night I went, rousing-the miners from their beds and stirring them up to vengeance. “Already Osgood and his friend were mounting their horses, but they never stirred ten steps from that ranch up yonder. “In them days we didn’t wait for no judges nor juries. Before two hours had gone by we had Osgood snugly buried under the pile of rocks T showed ye, and t’other chap had been sot adrift as naked as he cum into the world, and as good a cost of tar on him as could be spread. The feathers we had to leave out, because we had none, “T reckon come folks'll say that Os- good had a right to claim his wife, but we fellers didn’t think so, under the sarcumstances, and besides, our blood was up, and there's no knowing what a miner'll do when that’s the case, . “Yes, stranger, the ranch fs haunted, and I couldn't drive them leaders of mine past there after dark if I was to whip ’em thi! they dropped.

Wireless Weather. One of the principal problems con- sidered by the International Meteoro- logical Conference in London last week was the question. of wireless marine weather reports. Professor Willis L. Moore, representing the United States, urged the necessity of adopting regulations that will compel a ship beyond a certain tonnage to carry wireless Instruments and opera- tors and to take at noon, Greenwich time, a.daily observation of the weath- er. Observations received by a ship would be transmitted to other ves- sels, so that by means ‘of suoh relays the weather conditions over the en- tire ocean would in a few minutes reach the central meteorological of- fices In the United States, England, France, Germany and other interest- ed nations, Forecasts could then be made and distributed to the vessels dy Wireless telegraphy. It is believed that a universal system such as this vould be a great factor in saving life and property both on lahd and at sea. The conference, has adopted an international weather sigtial code. Heretofore American vessels have used flags by day and lights by night to convey storm warnings, while other nations have used balls and cones.

OPPRESSED LIBERIA. ° An Unlucky Little Nation That Has Stuck It Ont. crisis, and as usual the little negro re- public finds itself between the upper and the nether millstones of aboriginal _African savagery, which it kzs never been able to control, and selfishly in- terested European civilization impose upon Africa in the form of coloniat establishments. When “sLiberia was founded now nearly a century ago by the optimistic advocates. of coloniza- tion as the solution of our own Afrigan problem, Sierra Leone, a little Satish colony of fugitive slaves from various places, was the-only region near at hand under Evropean control. Few Persons tken forsaw the partition of Africa by the whites and the coming international struggle for spheres of influence. The earliest immigrants were sent out by the Colonization So- clety, organized with so much hope in 1817 with Bushrod Washington 2s ‘president, and afterward patronized in all sincerity by James Monroe. They tried at first to find homes in Slerr1 Leone, but driven forth by the suspie- fons of the British and their black colonists, they went further down the coast to a singularly unhealthy dis- trict. .Msany died, some returned to the United States and just. when the col- ony was ready to give up its plan Eh- jah Johnson, ‘a colored man of courage @ vigor, announced that he had vainly sougkt a home for two years and that having found one he now intended to keep %t Johnson thus saved the col- ony from immediate and ignominious Zallure. < This was in 1822 when the handful of colonists was at length settled up- ‘on part of the coast region that-Liberia now occupies. Other colonists were sent out and friends of the negro in Maryland established hard by an in- ‘dependent colony of their own which vas named for the state. After fric- ‘tion and some war “Maryland” was in- corporated with Liberia and it now constitutes one of the feur countles of the republic. At first and for twen- ty-five years the Colonization society managed the affairs of the colony from this side of tho world, and then in 1847 It was organized as an Independ- ent republic with a ‘constitution large- Jy modelled upon our own. Only Col- ored jandowners ‘could vete, art there waska property qualification for most Smportant offices. The government of he United States was extremely cau- slows about taking any oficial ye sponsibility for Liberia, and these nfost important offices. The government “of the United States was extremely +cautious about takig any official re- :sponsibility for Liberia, and thes mest Umportant European countries’ recog- nized the little republic fifteen yéars before we accorded it that grace.

A nav kinds and an interesting flora. - It was the old story over again; here was the hustling and curious European restlessl¥ in search of adventure and conquest, and Liberia lay between the French and the English on the coast with that tempting area bigger “than many European states, and that stra- tegie coast line. . Naturally “delimit- aticn” began, England took the first slice in the naine of a scientific fron- tier, and five or six years ago France found excuse for a new rectification of boundaries which gives her 2000 square miles of what was Liberian ter- ritory. Travelers had already begun to tell impleasant tales of Liberia.-Burton of Arabiah Nights fame naturally scorned it. His young acquaintance, Winwood Reade, who died at 24, gave a more cheerful account of the matter. Others wrote on one side or the other, but thirty years ago there was in Europo and America 2 pessimistic _ feeling about Liberla. As evidence that the the attempt of the blacks at self-gov- ernment was a failure the ill condition of Liberian finances was adduced. Her paper currency was in a pitiful con- dition, and European traders reguiar- ly insisted after-they had taken it at a discount upon paying it for customs duties of {ts face value. Europeans had obligingly lent Tiberia a few hundred | heusana dollars at the pleasant rate of 7 percent, and Liberia neglected to jPay interest until the debt was “re- adjusted,” as Virginians used to say, and the rate of interest cut in two. At last accounts arrears of interest had again piled up even at the reduced Tate and to the foreign devt must be added a domestic debt of about $135,000 and a floating debt of $200,000, so that In [all the republic's obligations are about $800,000. - J Perhaps this dees not seem a great debt for a gountry of 2,000,000 inhabi- tants and 43,000 square miles, but’ it is enough to welgh in the scale along with other things and the present in- ternal dissensions against the right of Liberia to Hye as an independent state. The truth is that all but about 40,000 of the inhabitants dwelling in- rand are savages utterly unable to de- velop the natural riches of the country and unwilling that Liberla’s elvillzed remnant should develop them. As to the ctvilized remnant, it consists of 12,000 persons of Afro-American orig- in, and say 30,000 Christianized natives of indigenous origin. Confessedly thus far the Afro-Americans have not been able to cope with the problem of thelr savage brethren plus that of the eager colonizing European and, occasional domestic political quarrels. Liberla’s army of 700 organized militia, with one brigadier-general at $43 a month and “found,” and eight or ten colonels at $38 a month and “found,” cannot ex- plore that wild hinterland or police the frontier. France or England could. do in two or three years what Liberia bas not done in fifty, ard hence the threat to Liberian autonomy. All things considered, however, Lib- eria has not been a failure from the point of view of civilization. The col- onists and their descendants have not reverted to savagery and dark super- |stition, As a matter of fact they are [fairly educated, with 100 government | public schools, a government college {and many other schools, elementary jand higher, maintained by — several |ehurch organizations. They have far outdone Hayti and Santo Domingo, and [under worse difficulties. A sympa- {thetic English writer who has lived much in Africa says that Liberian |towns are as well built as those of .|most European colonies In West Af- '|rica, He finds the Liberlans rather painfully religious, strict Sabbatarians. |New England Purltans of the elgh- |teenth century in their ‘general bellef ||and practice, sficklers for the proprie- || ties of European costume and prudish- [iy modest in outward manners.

For some years a very quiet, and yet, a very distinctive and forceful work in the educational field has been developing in the St, Francis de Sales Institute for Colored Girls, Rock Cas: ue; Va, % ee The school was erected in 1899 by Mother Katherine Drexel, and placed under the persbnal supervision of her own sisterhood, the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. No effort was spared to make the building and equipment as nearly perfect as possi. ‘ble, and the writers who has visited ‘many of the colored and white educa, tional institutions of the" southland, can state without hesitation or flat tery, that he found it equalled by very few and surpassed by none. Traveling on the Cincinnati and Ohic railroad west from Richmond, rollow: ing the graceful curves and windings of the historic James for forty miles, cne sees on an eminence, about a quarter of a mile south-of. the river, a large brick building .with, granite trimmings, the modified type of Eliza bethan architecture. The main build ing looks down upon the Janes while the two ‘annex wings face Deer Creek on one side and Lick Creek ox the other. The situation is idea? fo carnest' study. Beautiful nature 1: pre-eminent,’ while distractions and noises of a busy city are’ remote. It may be of interest to know that the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament under whoge direction the school { mainttainéd,' were instituted some twenty years ago, for the educatior and advancement of the colored and Indian races, These earnest, self-sac rifcing women make a specialty o! their work and are always seeking to have the best and to give the best to the two races to whom they excla Bively devote themselves, The Sis ters believe that faith in God, and reverence and love ‘for His teaching should form the basic element of all training; that Teligion and sclence should go hand in hand; that the one should always uphold and strengther the other. : While St. Francis de Sales is con ducted by a sisterhood of the Catho Uc Church, a cordial welcome is ex tended to all colored”people, regard less of creed, to send thelr daughter to erfjoy the privileges held out bs this institute, and no attempt is made to force the faith upon, nor interfere with, the religious: convictions of the students. : ase -. It is the aint of the sisters to edu cate thelr puplls physically, mentally and morally;’ to form them Into tral; noble, whole-souled women, and thus makezof each Indivfdual.a potent fac ‘tor fn the*bettering of the whole race ‘A golden era of oppeitunity “1: dawning-for the colored people of the south in this seldct school, which of fers unrivalled facilities, which the better class’ will not be slow to recog nize amd appreciate in thelr endeav. ors to procure the highest advantages of culture and education for thelr daughters, The purpose of the school is found In its broad, well-rounded curriculum It bhs been shown that a large amount of manual work may be car- ried on without, in the least, jeopar- dizing the results in the fundamental and academic branches, The school is unique in this, that there is no primary department. Pu- plils must come prepared to enter the sixth grade; that fs, must have suc- cessfully passed fifth grade examina. tions. ‘ There are two courses in the it erary department—an intermediate course and academe course. Each course ‘tovers a period of four years. ‘The {intermediate completes the full grainmar course and gives to the pu- pils a-thorough education in all the essenUal branches -of everyday life. \Far pupils, who wish to fit them. selves as teachers, or take up moré advanced studies, the acadamie course is admirably Adapted, compris- ing a fine course in English litera- ture, the sciences, botany, physics, chemistry, higher mathematics, Latin, elements of pedagogy and psychology. A thorough course is given in do- mestic art, beginning with a prepar- atory class In dressmaking, finishing same by cutting, drafting according to a standard chart, designing and modeling costumes, In onder to acquire a certificate in either intermediate or academic de- partments, it is essential that the stu- dents tahe this one year’s course in domestic art, as the school feels a woman's education is not complete without this necessary and most de- sirable accomplishment, Lessons in fine needlework, lace- making, drayn work, art embrolaery form one “of the most attractive fea- tures of the school. The gold medal for the best display of needlework was awarded the school by the James- town exposition. Lessons in fipe art and needlework are elective. * Domestic science fs another special feature, and includes a graded course in general cooking, followed by a course In invalid cookery and a walt- ress course, A course of lectures and demonsirations in home nursing fs also given in connection with the domestic science course, Music, both yocal and instrumental, is given con- Riderable attention, A visit 10 Rock Castle would be well worth while, if any of our readers are in the neighborhood of Richmond. Visitors to the,school aré usually charmed by the kindness and courte- sy of the sisters, and the beauty cf the building and its environments. The chapel, with its beautiful altars of Sienna marble trimmed with Mex- jean onyx, its fine statues, and, most of all, the holy calm and peace which pervade it bringing a sense of quiet, help and strength from an Unseen Power, proves irresistibly attractive fo all, nTe classrooms, music rooms, Ubrary, cook, school, dress making de. partment, dormitories and infirmartes have their own distinctive features of interest, while the dining room and kitchen are a chief center of interest at given times each day. Notwithstanding the unrivalled fa. cilities which St. Francis de Sales of. fers to ambitiqus and earnest students its charges are merely normal—being five dollars monthly for board and ten or fifteen yearly for incidental expenses—tuition In all departments being furnished gratis. ‘Im the absence of a personal visit, we would recommend our readers ap plying to St. Francis de Sales Instl tute, Rock Castle, Va., for this year’s prospectus, which is admirably gotten up, and in which more ample and-de railed information will be found.
