V01. XXV. John D. Rockefeller Will Use His Wealth to Benefit Mankind. ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION Great Rivalry Between Rockefeller and Carnegie in Giving—Rockefeller Has Given $131,000,000 and Carnegie $162,000,000. Washington, D. C.—Steps were taken to incorporate the Rockefeller foundation in the District of Columbia. The bill for this purpose was introduced by Senator Gallingher, and was referred to the committee on judiciary. The purpose of the foundation is to provide for a general organization to conduct philanthropic work along all lines. It is understood that the foundation will be endowed largely by John D. Rockefeller and that he takes this means to dispose of a large part of his enormous wealth. The incorporators named in the bill are John D. Rockefeller, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Fred T. Gates, Starr J. Murphy and Charles O. Heydt. These incorporators are authorized to select associates, not to exceed a total of twenty-five. It was stated by Senator Gallinger that Mr. Rockefeller already had given $52,000,000, and that he was seeking a method of disposing of his fortune that would benefit mankind. The Rockefeller foundation will be authorized to receive and dispense gifts of money other than those obtained from the original endowments, the amount of which has not been fixed. The scope of the foundation is very broad, although embraced in a very short fraction of the bill. This section reads: "That the object of the said corporation shall be to promote the wellbeing and to advance the civilization of the people of the United States and its territories and possessions and of foreign lands in the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge; in the prevention and relief of suffering and in the promotion of any and all of the elements of human progress." While drawn generally along the lines of the act incorporating the Carnegie foundation it goes much further, since the Carnegie foundation is designed chiefly to provide for a scientific retirement and pensioning of superannuated teachers. New York City—Estimates of Mr. Rockefeller's past benefactions and present fortune vary largely. It is conceded that in charity he has but one leader—Andrew Carnegie—and the best opinion is that Mr. Rockefeller has given away something approaching $131,000,000, as against $162,000,000 for Mr. Carnegie. leading Rockefeller gifts have been: General education board, $3,000,000; University Chicago, $25,000,000; Rush Medical College, $6,000,000; Institute for Medical Research, $4,300,000; churches (known), $3,100,000. The rivalry between Rockefeller and Carnegie in getting rid of their riches has been of the friendliest nature. How-much Mr. Rockefeller has left is even harder to guess than how much he has given away. In 18 Frederick T. Gates, one of Rockefeller's agents in charity, said: "Mr. Rockefeller himself has authorized the statement that his fortune cannot exceed $200,000,000, and that in his most prosperous year his income was not above $20,000,000. His holdings of Standard Oil stock are not above 20 per cent of the total issue outstanding." On the other hand the late H. H. Rogers is quoted as having said in 1906: "I know for a fact that Mr. Rockefeller's income will not exceed $60,000,000 next year." The late Senator Hoar of Massachusetts estimated that Rockefeller's fortune totaled one billion dollars. Washington, D. C.—Following an animated debate on a bill giving legislative authority for future appropriations to purchase sites for the construction of buildings as residences of diplomatic officials abroad, the house placed its seal of disapproval upon all such projects. $10,000,000 for Building Sites. Washington, D. C. — The senate passed a bill authorizing the expenditure of $10,000,000 for the purchase of land south of Pennsylvania avenue, in Washington as sites, for public buildings. There was no opposition. Empress of Russia III. St. Petersburg, Russia—The Empress has suffered a severe nervous attack, and her condition is considered very unsatisfactory. Montgomery, Ala.—Fertilizer movements show a falling off in the state for the five months ending February 28, as compared to the same period a year ago. Tag sales summed up at the capitol show a decrease in receipts of $3,806.50, the figures being $59,050.50 for this year and $55,244 last year. Officials take this to mean a reduction in cotton acreage. A 30-cent tag must go on each ton of fertilizer sold. New, Governor of New Mexico. Santa Fe, N. M.—Former Chief Justice William J. Mills took the oath of office as governor of New Mexico. Chief Justice William H. Pope was also sworn in. JOINT REUNION SUGGESTED. Atlanta, Ga—As a result of a suggestion made at the reception held in Atlanta to ex-Governor VanSant, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, it is very probable that a joint reunion of the United Confederate Veterans and the members of the Grand Army of the Republic will be held on the battlefield of Gettysburg in 1911. The place for the joint reunion was suggested by Colonel W. W. Drapar, a prominent member of Atlanta Camp 159, United, Confederate Veterans, and the suggestion met with the hearty approval of those present. General VanSant approved the meeting place and named 1911 as the proper time for the reunion. WILSON AGAINST PINCHOT. Secretary of Agriculture Never Saw Letter to Senator_Dolliver. Washington, D. C.—The expected clash between Gifford Pinchot and Secretary of Agriculture Wilson over the disputed question as to whether or not the secretary had given the former forester permission to write to Senator Dolliver the letter which resulted in Mr. Pinchot's dismissal, case before the Ballinger-Pinchot investigating committee. Mr. Pinchot declared he had discussed the matter at length with Secretary Wilson and that he understood his superior officer had given him express permission to write the letter to Senator Dolliver. Secretary Wilson immediately took the stand and asserted that while he had given Mr. Pinchot permission to write the letter to Senator Dolliver concerning "departmental affairs," he never did and never would have given permission to write a letter criticising the president of the United States. REPIDIATE COOK'S HONORS. To Name Harlem Street for Roosevelt Instead of Cook. New York City. — Resolutions to make a street in Harlem "T. Roosevelt, and to repudiate the aldermanic favors bestowed some time back on Dr. Frederick A. Cook, were up for consideration before the board of aldermen. The Roosevelt proposal was referred to the committee on streets and highways; the Cook matter was tabled. Alderman Drescher thinks the way the board has treated Commander Peary is a shame. His was the resolution tabled. It recited that "the city, through its accredited representatives, stands on record as recognizing the discredited and ignoring the real discoverer of the North Pole," and urged that the board place itself on record as recognizing "Peary as the only man who ever carried the flag to the North Pole." HOUSE WORK FOR PREACYERS Chicago Clergymmen to Do Wives' Work for One Day. Chicago, Ill.—Chicago clergymmen of many denominations will sweep, dust, make beds, cook and clear up after lunch that their wives may devote their time to the fight against the saloons. The women will form an organization that from now until election day will be active in the campaign for local option. The women formed a committee which attended the ministers of all the Protestant denominations and asked the clergymmen to enlist the aid of their wives against the liquor traffic. ROW IN D. A. R. Miss Agnes Gerald Reports for Work After Belng Dismissed. Washington, D. C.-Ignoring a letter of dismissal sent to her by Mrs. Matthew T. Scott, president general of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Miss Agnes Gerald reported for work as usual at the headquarters of the society here. Insubordination was the reason given by Mrs. Scott in her letter to Miss Gerald for the attempted ousting, Miss Gerald's mother is said to have campaled for Mrs. Story, who was defeated at the last election for the president generaly by Mrs. Scott. STRICT SALOON RULES. Cars to Be Announced to Patrons of Saloons. Boston, Mass. — Every saloon in Chelsea must employ a car announcer to remind 'its patrons of the running time of cars which pass the door, when liquor licenses become operative in that city on May 1. The new regulations issued by the Chelsea licensing commission are believed to be the strictest in New England. Besides the announcer feature, they provide that only one line of men is to be allowed to stand at a bar and no drinks are to be passed to any back of the line. RECOVERING NAIL CARGO. Electro Magnet Lifts Nail Keys from Mississippi River. New Orleans, La—An ingenuous method has been adopted for the recovery of a cargo of nails which went down on a sinking steamboat, then a few weeks ago. A huge electro magnet, attached to hoisting gear, is lowered in the water. The electric current is turned on and the nails of nails are hoisted out one by one clinging to the magnet. Fifteen thousand keys of nails went down in the river. Sixteen hundred keys have been recovered by the magnetic process. Two months more, it is stated, will be required to complete the work. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1910. FLOODS WHELM TOWNS Score Killed When Trains Were Hit by Avalanche. THOUSANDS ARE HOMELESS In the West Four Transcontinental Railroads Were Forced to Suspend Operations. Disastrous Floods in Ohio. Seattle, Wash. — Sweeping down the steep mountain side on the west slope of the Cascades, an avalanche of snow overwhelmed two Great Northern trains, three locomotives, four huge electric motor engines and brought death to more than a score of persons, according to meagre reports that have drifted in from Wellington, a station near the scene of the disaster. The other train was the, transcontinental fast mail, which carried no passengers. Twenty bodies have been recovered, fifteen or more persons are injured and twenty-five persons are missing. OGden, Utah—Flood conditions almost unprecedented have almost cut off the northwest and tied up traffic on half a dozen transcontinental railroads. Thaws in the mountains have caused avalanches that have swept away mountain towns and sections of railroad tracks in various places from Nevada to British Columbia. The exact number of deaths caused by avalanches in the Rockies in Idaho and in Western Montana probably will not be known until the summer sun melts the great masses of snow and ice in the canons into which several mining towns were swept. In the Cascade Mountains in Washington a Great Northern train with 30 to 50 passengers is reported buried under a snow slide. Four transcontinental lines into Washington and Oregon are blockaded. Representatives from the flooded districts in Nevada say the water is higher than in forty years. Spokane, Wash.—In this mining district 19 lives are known to have been crushed out beneath ice and snow that swept down the mountain slides upon the villages of Mace and Burke. So far 30 men, women and children have been saved from the Mace snow slide, and the rescuers are working desperately to succor those who may be found alive. At Burke five are known to be dead and two injured, but the list is not thought to be complete. At Carbonate Hill, where the third slide occurred, two are dead and half a dozen injured. A slide at Dorsey, Idaho, is reported to have killed two men, and at Adair one man is reported killed by a slide. Another slide went-down the Couer d'Alene Hills, carrying away the compressor and buildings at the Aeolian mine near Mullen. No one was injured. The damage is estimated at $5,000. Coltax, the principal town of the Palosse country, is cut off by floods. Railroad and electric lines are blocked. Bridges have been washed out and water is from two to five feet deep in the business streets. No lives have been lost. Cleveland, Ohio—Fully 2,000 people are homeless in Ohio as a result of the flood which is still sweeping over the state. At Zanesville, 1,000 persons are reported as having been driven from their houses. The public buildings are crowded with refugees. All business and traffic have ceased at Warren, and over 300 people were rescued from their houses in boats. While the Licking river at Zanesville has commenced to recede the Musklingum, which is much the larger stream, is still rising. An immense, gorge has formed in the river at Leavittsburg, and it is feared that if it breaks it will rush down upon Warren with the most serious consequences. Augusta, Ga.—The Savannah river is rising rapidly. Very heavy rains are reported in the watershed and further rises are expected, and the local forecaster of the weather bureau says the maximum will be thirty to thirty-two feet. The latter figure is the flood stage, though it would mean inundation for only a small portion of the outskirts of the city. It is still raining up country. SEKONA man KILN woman and Self Moe. Mo. Mrs. Mrs. Grace Gayon aged 19, wife of Mrs. in a store by Louis Hillson, who then killed himself after he had assaulted and severely beaten Jack Doyle, a rival for Mrs. Gayon's affections. $10 Hon In Chicago Chicago, Ill.-Hogs sold at $10 on the Chicago market, a record price. One load, averaging 264 pounds, was the first sale at the new price. Count Von Seckendorff Dead. Berlin, German—Count Goetz von Seckendorff—former court marshal, died, aged 68 years. He officiated as grand master of the court to the late Dowager Empress Frederick, and for many years occupied a prominent position in society. State-Wide Bill Rejected. Annapolis, Md.-The state-wide local option bill prepared by the Anti-Saloon League, was rejected by the Maryland house of delegates by six votes. TAFT WANTS YOUNG MEN. Washington, D. C.-Young blood in the command of the navy was the keynote of a special message which President Taft sent to congress, urging legislation for improving the personnel of the fighting force and to remedy what the president termed "an abnormal condition, the result of past legislation." Under conditions now existing the president declared the promotion of officers of the lower grades was stagnated to the great detriment of the service and the country, and because nearly every officer who retained his health was allowed to pass through the various grades and be retired as rear admiral, the greater number of commanding officers had inadequate experience. Some of the most important changes which the president recommended were. To create higher ranking flag officers. The size of the fleet now demands two grades above rear admiral. In the Atlantic fleet there should be an admiral in command, a vice admiral, for the second squadron and rear admirals for each of the other two divisions. The personnel of officers and men should be based on the tonnage of effective ships and increases or decreases of ships would increase or decrease the personnel in a fixed proportion. Provisions should be made against sudden fluctuations in the personnel, however. With one million two hundred thousand tons of ships as now authorized, the ultimate personnel would reach three thousand line officers and midshipmen and sixty thousand enlisted men. The officers as now would be drawn from the naval academy with additions from the ranks. A reorganization of the retirement scheme would fix the rate of pay of retired officers on their time of service. The president believes that too many officers reach the rank of senior rear admirals and retire without adequate returns to the government. A sliding scale of retirement pay according to the years of service would be arranged. In urging the need of the proposed legislation that the younger officers may be eligible for promotion and become qualified to command the fleet and squadron, the president pointed to the fact that under the present arrangement one hundred and sixty officers would enter the junior lieutenant's grade each year, and that only forty a year would be promoted out of it. "I am strongly of the opinion that the future of our navy will be seriously compromised unless the ages of our senior officers are materially reduced and opportunity given for experience and training for battleship and fleet commands," the president said TO FIGHT PEACH DISEASES. Government Experts to Be Stationed at Barnesville, Ga. Barnesville, Ga.-Large peach growers of this city have induced the bureau of plant industry and entomology at Washington to establish here an experimental and demonstration station for the purpose of showing the fruit growers how to control the two deadly enemies of the peach industry, namely, curculio and brown rot. For some time they have corresponded with the authorities at Washington and succeeded in getting the department to send representatives here to look into the situation. During the coming season each of these departments will have a representative in the peach belt of this vicinity. A building rented by the government and the necessary apparatus will be installed at once. Mr. W. M. Scott of the bureau of plant industry and Mr. A. L. Quaintance of the bureau of entomology will be in charge of the station. No Arbitration to Stop Strike Philadelphia, Pa—In spite of the constantly increasing demands by religious bodies and others that arbitration be resorted to, to settle the strike against the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company, officials of that company declared that no proposition looking toward arbitration in any form is being considered by the board of directors. Newsv Paragraphs. One thousand letters a month from business men of the country come to the "foreign opportunities" department of the bureau of manufacturing, which, according to its chief, has helped to sell millions of dollars' worth of goods. "We have just received a letter from manufacturers in Ohio," the chief of the bureau told the house appropriations committee the other day, "thanking us for enabling them to sell sixteen carloads of their products in Russia." Andrew Carnegie has cultivated the giving habit and has now got to give, even if he should not care to, is the opinion of Professor A. M. Honline, educational superintendent of the Sunday school association. "There is nothing like habit," he said, "Carnegie has got the habit of giving libraries and he couldn't do otherwise if he desired." Bathers in New England during the summer season of 1909 paid an exceptionally heavy toll to the waters. According to figures compiled by the United States volunteer lifesaving corps, six hundred and four persons were drowned in the New England states last summer from Mayto September inclusive: Of this number two hundred and seventy-two were children. HIGH TRIBUTE TO JEWS President Taft Talks to a Delegation of Publishers. NO LIMITED INVESTIGATION President Promises to Sign No Bill Without Giving Hearing to Publishers of Foreign Language Newspapers. Washington, D. C.—In reply to a delegation from the American Association of Foreign Language Newspapers, who called at the white house to protest gainst certain immigration bills pending in congress, President Taft paid a high tribute to the Jews, who had come to America from various parts of the world and had become inbued with a true spirit of patriotism. "The question of limiting immigration," said the president, "in such a way as to shut out the undesirable part of the population of Europe, which comes here rather by the artificial stimulation of those whose interest it is to have as many come as possible, is a question which has addressed itself to congress in the past. They rejected—for I was present in congress when it was done—the educational limitation on the ground that the limitation was one which did not shut out those whom we most desired to shut out, and that the anarchist—a man who comes here with no loyalty to the new government—is the man who could easily pass a mental examination. "Now all I can say about this, because I cannot commit myself to any particular form of legislation, is that in so far as I am concerned, I shall sign no bill without giving you gentlemen a full opportunity to be heard. It is possible that we shall differ, but I think that where a hearing is given a safer conclusion is likely to be reached. "In going about this country thirteen thousand miles, as I did last year, the thing which impressed me more than anything else was the fact that the process through which we had gone, of welcoming immigrants from everywhere and mixing them and amalgamating them with our population, had produced a distinct type of American, as distinguished from any of the people of which that type was made up, and therefore, were we to impose unjust burdens and stop immigration, we should go back on that which up to this time has enabled us to be a great people." "I only want to say one more word. I visited the east side in New York about two years ago, and I was exceedingly impressed with the fact that the Jewish population there had recognized the opportunity this country offered to them, that the young men and women who had attended the public schools and who had settled in that part of New York had appreciated to the fullest the benefits that this country had conferred, and that there was no part of the country in which the real, true spirit of patriotism prevailed more deeply than there. That threw a somewhat new light on my general view of the situation with respect to the laws of immigration and how they ought to be enforced." BATTLESHIP COMMISSIONED. The South Carolina Has Been Accepted by the Government Philadelphia, Pa.—With the booming of guns, the battleship South Carolina was placed in commission at the Philadelphia navy yard. After Captain Augustus F. Fechteler had read the orders of the navy department putting him in command, the stars and stripes were run to the masthead, as officers and crew stood attention. Salutes were then exchanged between the shore battery at the navy yard and the battleship. The South Carolina and her sister ship, the Michigan, are the most powerful vessels in the navy. The new ship sailed for Hampton Roads, and later will proceed to Charleston, S. C. At the latter place the battleship will be given a handsome silver service by the Daughters of the American Revolution. HAT PINS TOO LONG. Chicago Expects to Force Women to Wear Shorter Hat Pins. Chicago, Ill.—Chicago's city council formally took up and deliberated upon the following questions: "Are women's long hat pins, which menace the noses, eyes and faces of other people, a public nuisance." Ought women, despite the danger of hat pins, to be allowed to wear them for self-protection? Alderman Herman J. Bauer introduced an order, requiring the corporation counsel to draw up an ordinance restricting the length of hat pins worn in public places. GOVERNMENT PLANS FOUND Missing Blue Prints in Montgomery, Alabama. Montgomery, Ala.—Plans and specifications for-gulf coast fortifications at Fort Morgan and Fort Barrancas and other points, missing from the office of the engineering corps in Montgomery, were found in a table drawer at a boarding house. The blue prints were sent by registered mail from Washington to Captain H. F. Ferguson, engineer in charge of the district. Mrs. John Ham, who conducts the boarding house, is positive the prints were placed in the drawer-recently. When found they were recognized by a clerk for Captain Ferguson. LATE NEWS NOTES. General A combination of twelve of the largest baking companies of New York is announced, with a capital of $6,000,000 and a capacity of twelve thousand barrels of flour a day. Wright & Company of Dayton, Ohio, have formally stated that the Wright brothers have decided to go to Montgomery, Ala., at once to take advantage of the offers made by that city for the entertainment and accommodation of the famous aeroplanists. They will give exhibition flights about every two weeks. Missouri teachers, through their reading circle will this year study farming instead owed pedagogy. Agriculture has been made one of the requirements of teachers' certificates and more stress will be placed upon the subject in public school and in higher educational institutions of the state. Plants may be made to order, acwho for two years has been experlccording to Professor C. Stuart Gager, menting with radium at the University of Missouri. An entirely new species of primrose has been originated by the use of the radium, and it has held true to the new form through three generations of the plant. The color of the flower was changed, and the leaves changed from broad to narrow. The cost of living problem does not seem to worry people in the mountains of Tennessee. A report from there declares that "robbins are selling at 10 cents a dozen." Thousands of the robbins "gather in the cedars to roost, and hunting parties go in the night and capture and kill them in large numbers. One party caught two thousand six hundred birds in one night. One hunter caught three hundred and seventy-seven birds in one tree. It is estimated that one hundred and fifty thousand have been killed within the last three weeks. That is the way in which wild bird life is being protected in some parts of this great country." Washington The bureau of statistics of the United States department of agriculture has been gathering information from the potato growers and dealers in the principal potato growing sections of the United States with regard to the supply on hand January 1, 1910. The result of these investigations indicate that about 41.2 per cent of the crop raised for market in 1909 remained in the hands of the growers, and 9.6 per cent in the hands of interior dealers. A similar investigation last year showed that 32.5 per cent of the crop raised for market in 1908 was in the hands of growers, and 11.3 per cent in the hands of interior dealers on January 1, 1909. "I shall believe that Dr. Cook, the explorer, is an honest man until there is definite proof to the contrary," declared Maurice F. , Egan, minister to Denmark, in an address in Washington to members of the University club, Dr. Eagan said the University of Copenhagen board had simply declared that the records furnished them by Dr. Cook on his trip to the extreme north were not sufficient to enable them to determine that he had been to the north pole. The army has just adopted a new type of machine gun that has some remarkable points of advantage over the existing guns. The new weapon is so small that it can be carried by a man or two, and with full equipment of stands and ammunition can be packed upon a mule. Moreover, it has the important advantage that it can be fired from the shoulder, and consequently is much less subject to attack and capture by the enemy. The ammunition is carried on steel strips, and the new gun is said to be free from danger of clacking while the barrels are carried in duplicate and can be almost instantly changed when they become heated from rapid firing. Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, who is slowly recovering from the attack of paralysis which recently threatened his life, is to be removed to his home or to Atlanta, Ga., as soon as his condition will permit, probably within three weeks. His wife and two daughters will accompany him. As soon thereafter as possible Senator Tillman will go to some health resort in Europe and seek complete recovery. A great democratic celebration in honor of Jefferson's birthday is being planned by the National Democracy, the democratic organization of the District of Columbia, and the democratic congressional campaign committee, to be held in Washington on April 2, and invitations to a select number of big men in the party have been sent out. Among those invited to attend are Governors Harmon of Ohio; Brown, of Georgia; Marshall, of Indiana, and Shallenberger, of Nebraska. Denial is made by the interstate commerce commission that the freight rates, both in class and commodity, to and from Montgomery, are unjustly discriminatory and unduly preferential to Pensacola, Fla., and Mobile and Birmingham. The case in which the decision was rendered was instituted by the Montgomery freight bureau against the Louisville and Nashville railroad and other railroads. The complaint alleges that the classes and commodities rates to Montgomery, from various points and from Ohio and Mississippi river crossings were unjust and unreasonable in their relation to the rates from the same points to Mobile and Birmingham, Ala., and Pensacola, Fla., and to the disadvantage of Montgomery. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society Treasury of State of Georgia long in total Ten Thousand Dollars , and which are held by the State of Georgia , by authority and under the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly , approved October 22d, 1887 , and amended December 8th, 1897 . Macon Telegraph Shows How It Would be Advantageous To Plant Less Cotton and Macon, Ga.—The stock of money in this country today is approximately $3,130,000,000. Ten years ago it was $2,340,000,000. This is a gain of $790,000,000, or approximately 30 per cent. Authoritative statistics show that the 1909 wheat crop was 8.3 busheles per capita, against 8.63 bushels per capita ten years ago; the corn crop dropped from 34.9 to 30.9 bushels per capita; the oats crop from 12.4 to 11.1 bushels per capita; the hay crop from 1 ton to 3.4 of a ton per capita; and the number of food animals, swine, cattle and sheep, fell from 2.5 to 1.9 per capita. In the matter of meats the government returns issued on the 25th of January show, under the head of swine (hogs) that the total supplies in 1900, of 54,000,000 fell to 47,000,000 in 1910, a decrease of nearly 15 per cent. Other cattle, in 1909, 49,000,000, fell to 47,000,000 in 1910. The number of cattle killed under the inspection law in the United States in 1907 was 7,621,717, in 1909 it had fallen to 7,325,337; during the same period there was an increase in the number of calves killed from 1,763,574 to 2,046,713. The receipts of hogs at the markets fell 13.8 per cent from 1908 to 1909. In the matter of the production of fruits, the leader and standard (because it keeps longer) apples, in the United States, have fallen from 63,000,000 barrels in 1866 to 21,000,000 barrels in 1909! Here is money, per dollar, decreasing in its purchasing power because of a 30 per cent increase in volume. Here is an increasing deficit in the field food crops per capita. Here is a marked decrease in hogs and cattle supply. Here is a decrease in the leader among all the fruits (apples) of approximately 70 per cent. On the top of all this is an average tariff of 60 per cent on all foreign foodstuffs. As result of all these things—the increased supply of money, the decreased supply of all food stuffs, and the tariff—the prices of beef, pork and its by-products, mutton, chickens, eggs, butter and milk, and all other food products—taken on an average—have never been as high as now, barring of course the war prices of the '60's. Is not this the southern farmer's golden opportunity? The Telegraph has shown in previous articles that in 1860, when the population in Georgia was 1,057,286, there were in this state 2,036,116 hogs. In 1907, with a population of 2,700,000, there were only 1,590,000 Treasurer of the State of Georgia. hogs. With the population more than doubled, the number of hogs has been reduced nearly one-half! The Telegraph has shown that, in 1860, there were 299,688 milch cows. In 1907—308,000—an increase only of 8,312. That in 1860, there were oxen and other cattle, 706,194. In 1907, 680,000—decrease of 26,194* That in 1860, there were 512,618 sheep. In 1907, 269,000—a decrease of 243,618! These figures are surprising, and yet they are based on actual statistical returns. The Telegraph has shown that in 1890, when Georgia's population was 1,837,353, Georgia's farmers owned 1,627,008 swine. In 1907, when the population had increased to 2,700,000 the swine owned by Georgia farmers decreased to 1,599,000—a loss of 24,008. That in 1890, the sheep owned by Georgia farmers numbered 411,871. In 1907 they had decreased to 269,000—a loss approximately of one-half: That in 1890, Georgia owned 354,611 mileh cows. In 1907 the number fell to 308,000—a loss of 46,618. All of these figures are amazing—but they are collected from the most reliable sources. They call to the farmer with irresistible eloquence air force. They cry aloud to them to plant less cotton and more grain; to raise more cattle and hogs—not as a patriotic thing, but as a profit-making business. It is the farmer's opportunity. His day has come if he is wise enough to read the signs of the times and take advantage of it. Food is the first and the last of the natural man. All men must eat Everything else is secondary. We can go naked and live in the woods as the heathens do, but we must eat. It takes a pound of cotton to buy a pound of meat. A pound of meat can be raised more cheaply than a pound of cotton. A farmer can eat his meat but he cannot eat his cotton. The money supply has grown faster than the food supply. The farm production for the last four years have been low in comparison with the increase in other forms of value. Manufacturing enterprises, manufactured materials, stock and bond corporations have more than tripled in the last ten years. The farmers have not kept pace.-Macon Telegraph. Georgia News in Paragraghs. The number of mules sold in the southern part of the state this winter exceeds by several hundred the number sold in any former season, and the prices paid are the highest on record. "A tempest in a teapot," was the way Dr. Kingman B. Page of the New York Medical Society characterized the alarm over the decision of the superior court at Macon, Ga., whereby a surgeon who performs an operation must benefit the patient in order to collect his fee. The Georgia decision grew out of a case whereby a child died following an operation. The parents refused to remunerate the surgeon and he sued to recover his fee. The superior court at Macon ruled that the doctor had no legal ground for the collection. Hon. J. Pope Brown, state treasurer, will not be a candidate to succeed himself, according to a statement issued to the public. When asked as to the rumor that he would resign before the expiration of his term, Mr. Brown said: "I have entertained no thought of resigning; it is my purpose to serve out my present term, but I will not be a candidate to succeed myself." Mr. Brown also states that the reason he does not care to continue as state treasurer is because the position is out of his line of work, and does not suit him. Mr. Brown will take up his residence in Atlanta in the near future GEORGIA NEWS NOTES. To encourage the boys and girls of Lowndes county to do some specific work this year, and to stimulate interest in the farm, County School Commissioner C. L. Smith is arranging to award some very handsome prizes to the pupils of the rural schools. Prizes will be offered to the boys under eighteen years of age to be awarded to the most successful growers of certain crops, and to the girl pupils of the schools who show the greatest proficiency in cooking needle work, flower culture and poultry raising. By the middle of March the state will know, in facts and figures, just how much progress was made in good roads construction in Georgia during the nine months of 1909 (from April 1 to December 31) that the convicts were on the roads. S. McCallie, state geologist, is compiling the record. and this information, showing how many miles of road each county has built, how much it cost, etc., will be published in the form of a bulletin by the state geological department. A cotton gin company of Columbus received an order from southern Russia for three carloads of ginning machinery. Shipments of Columbus-made cotton gins are made to Africa regularly. Congressman S. A. Roddenbery, from the Second congressional district-of Georgia, it is now. Governor Brown forwarded to Mr. Roddenbery his commission and issued a proclamation to the effect, that he had been elected to fill the vacancy in that assembly caused by the death of the late Honorable J. M. Griggs. By unanimous vote, Shellman expressed her confidence in the bright future of the city in a water and school bond eletcion for $13,000. This is Shellman's third successful election for improvement bonds. The city had a complete system of electric light and water works when the population was only five hundred and twenty. In the last five years Shellman has doubled in population. When the improvements are made no city in Southwest Georgia will have a better system of water works or prove more inviting to homeseekers.

This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has complied with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens. Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business. Agents Wanted Everywhere right-of-way. A surveying party has been put in the field in charge of Calef Engineer H. M. Smith, and this party will lay out a line as rapidly as possible from the present terminus of the work to Tunnel Hill. This is a small town on the Western and Atlantic railroad, about twenty miles above Dalton, and is the natural pass through the mountains. The territory from Gore to Tunnel Hill is one of the richest agricultural and timber sections in the state, and thousands of dollars of trade will come to Rome over the tracks of the new railroad that cannot get there now under or diary circumstances. At a meeting of the democratic executive committee field at Moultrie, Jasper county's primary was set for April 15. Politics are warming up, and a large number of candidates are in the field. The board of trade of Commerce has already raised more than $500, consisting of cash and premiums, to be awarded in a corn contest to be held here this fall. Several hundred dollars will yet be raised, and the contest promises to be one of the most helpful, in encouraging the culture of corn, of anything of the kind that has ever been held in this section of the state. Although the year 1909 is recorded as having been the most prosperous year in the history of Statesboro, the deposits in the three banks showing considerably over a half million dollars, and the building improvements showing a vast increase over any previous year, this year promises to exceed by far that of 1909 in buildings, the biggest boom that has ever struck Statesboro now being in its infancy, and as a result more business houses are planned for immediate erection than were built during the whole of last year. Another federal official treated with contempt the orders of Judge Fite of the Dade county superior court. United States Deputy Collector Crockett of Rome went to Rising Fawn, broke the lock and the cistern room of the Cureton Distillery, recently placed there by order of Judge Fite and entered the building. Despite the most severe winter known in Statesboro in many years and up to a few days ago freezing weather having been experienced, fruit trees, especially peaches, are budding. Edward W. Johnson of Galnesville is the champion nineteen-year-old farmer of northeast Georgia. On fifty-five acres in cultivation in wheat and oats he made more than one thousand two hundred bushels of corn, sixteen bales of cotton, one hundred and fifty-one and one-half bushels of wheat, one hundred bushels of oats, thirty bushels of goobers, one hundred and fifty bushels of sweet potatoes, twenty-five tons of good pea vine, popcorn and sorghum hay; five gallons of sorghum; fattened six hogs and made a vast quantity of vegetables and popcorn. In addition to the hay crop which he saved, he saved six thousand five hundred bundles of good four-hand fodder. His best acre of corn made more than eighty bushels, while his entire crop MONEY DEPOSITED WITH The Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company 18 DOUBLY SECURED BY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INVESTED IN SAVANNAH REAL ESTATE. 8 PER CENT PAID ON DEPOSITS. of corn made more than sixty bushels per acre. At a meeting of the executive committee of the Georgia Bar association in Atlanta, it was decided to hold the next annual convention of the association at Athens, Ga., on June 9 and 10.

Pope Brown has disposed of all of his interests in South Georgia and is preparing to make his home in Atlanta permanently in the future, it was reported on reliable authority. There is a merry war going on in Atlanta over the question whether or not women shall be forced to remove their hats in the moving picture shows. What is believed to be the largest land deal that has ever taken place in the state of Georgia was consummated when twenty-two corporations and firms in the states of Georgia and Florida signed deeds for the transfer of 35,000 acres of land in Decatur county, Georgia and Gadsden county, Florida, to the American Sumatra Tobacco Company of Georgia. The American Sumatra Tobacco Company was incorporated in Atlanta several weeks ago with a capital of $7,000,000. Area of the Fishball. "Speaking of fishbals," remarked an arden New England admirer of that form of food. "I will tell you the sade, sad truth about them. "If you order them in Boston they are practically all fish. Yes, sir, solid, bona fide fish. Move west a bit to Albany, say. What happens? The amount of fish in each fishball has dwindled. Proceed to Buffalo. A certain self-assertiveness begins to be apparent in the potato that is combined in fishballs with the fish. On to Cleveland! Fishballs there are half potato, half fish, with the accron potato. On to Chicago! There the potato has the upper hand!" "How is the far west?" He leaned forward. "Ive never dared travel farther west than Chicago!" he whispered hoarsely—Buffalo Courier.

Choose a piece from the middle of the fish. Place it in a fish kettle of boiling water, to which a tablespoonful of salt has been allowed to each quart of water. Placing the fish in the water lowers the temperature to below the boiling point, and at this lower temperature the water should be kept while the fish is being cooked. Allow eight minutes for each pound of fish, and an extra eight minutes besides. If the piece is very large and thick, a quarter of an hour should be allowed in addition to the regulation eight minutes per pound. Remove the scum before lifting out the fish from the water. Place the salmon on a large dish garnished with a few slices of cucumber, and squeeze over the fish the juice of half a lemon. Serve with the following sauce: Blend 2 tablespoonfuls of butter, and 2 tablespoonfuls of flour in a saucepan over the fire, add 1 cupful of cold water, seasoning of white pepper and salt. Stir till boiling, then add 2 heaping tablespoonfuls of capers and a teaspoonful of vinegar.

The seas were broad, the seas were deep, And night and storm fell drear; She did not waver—did not weep, But stood beside me there. "Oh, hide thee from the tempest's breath, So wild—so swift to kill!" Sweetly she said: "Through life—through death I am beside thee still!" In hovels hard for hunger, sweet I heard her breathe my name. And saw the night with morning meet Over deep pits of shame. And ever in the weary ways. ATLANTA Constitution. ON THE EDGE OF THE FOREST. INTERESTING NEWS. By F. P. KOPTA. On afternoon Apolena came home later than usual and astonished us all with the news she had heard from the old ladies who kept the "delle-cles store." The sweet Seraphene was to marry her Lazar, who had won a fortune at the "little lottery," it was said. "Sit down, Apolena, and tell us all about it," said her father, "and do not flirt about like a mosquito." Thus admonished, Apolena sat down on one of the rickety chairs and drawing a long sigh, began her tale, to which we all listened in breathless silence. Seraphlena and Lazar, as all the town knew, loved one another to distraction. But there were objections, as there always are. Lazar was a chimney sweep, and penniless. Seraphlena had a hundred florins, a cow, and a yearling plg. She could look for a better match than poor Lazar, in spite of his curly hair and good looks, sald her father, and he kicked the young fellow out of his inn whenever he met him. Naturally this did not help matters much. Seraphlena and Lazar met behind trees, wept together in friendly shops, and kissed one another unknown to their parents behind the paternal doors. Still things looked hopeless for the devoted pair till heaven smiled upon them. Lazar had a beautiful dream! Here Apolena stopped to take breath. "It was a lovely dream that Lazar had, and he thought to himself, 'Why should I dream such a beautiful scene and near morning? Such a dream was not sent to me for nothing.' So being a sensible lad, he went to see old pani Mama Barbora, who was skilled in such matters, and related his vision." "I wonder he did not go to the ladies who keep the delicacies store. They are great hands for hunting out numbers in the Snar (dream book)." "They are not friends of his. They tried to persuade Ceraphena to marry a glass blower, a sort of cousin to one of their brothers' wife. Any way he went to Barbora. "'Ah, my gold boy,' said the old woman. 'Your guardian angel stood by you when you had that lovely dream. Make a vow to burn a candle, while I go in the next room for my dream book.' "Of course Lazar took her advice, and promised the saint a candle of two pounds' weight if he should win. "Mother, if I should win, I will buy you a red skirt, such as you never saw in your life," said Lazar, and they went at it to hunt up the numbers." "He may be dirty, but he is devout and kindhearted," said the grandfather, looking sideways at Matey. "A candle for a saint, a red skirt for granny. That is what I call well mannered. I know of lads who, if they won four florins at the little lottery, would not buy their loving relations an ounce of snuff." "You are right, grandfather," said Matey, with a grimace meant for a smile. "And I have even known people to win the four florins, and to get dead drunk, and to have to be carried home on a wheelbarrow by their loving relations. Oh, yes, I have known such cases!" "Drat you both! Must I sit forever on this chair? Let me go on with my story, will you? The old woman came back with the Snar, and between them both they fixed the numbers." "What was the dream about, Apolena?" asked her father. "It was about a holy bishop, and that you know, has many numbers, and is a very lucky dream. To see a bishop saying mass is twenty-six and forty-five. To speak with him is a good ending to whatever you have in hand, and counts thirty-two, sixty-one, sixty-nine. But there are a great many other numbers mixed 'up with it, that only one skilled in the matter, like old Barbora, can explain. To make the story short, they found out the right numbers. And behold! It was as old Barbora had said. His patron salent was with him, when he dreamed that dream. His numbers came out. Every number came out!" "What did he win, Apolena?" asked her father. "Win! Six hundred florins! He can buy a cottage now." his elbow will be abduct these num- bers" vum sdf sdf sdf or sdf "Was Lazar an apostle of saint," asked Matey. "I remember, hearing something about him in the Evangelium." "He was a martyr, a blessed martyr, you idiot!" answered his grandfather. "Do hold your tongues," said Apolena, "and let me go on. Is it for the like of you to discuss religious matters. I should like to know? 'You should have seen him,' said Miss Albina to me; 'when he saw all his five numbers hung outside the store. He trembled and nearly fell down, and then he rushed to the church, dirty as he was, and threw himself flat on his face before the altar. Some of his comrades dragged him away at last, and brought him home, and got him to wash himself, but he went about like one dazed, they say." "Perhaps now that he is so rich, he will not marry Seraphlena," said the grandfather. "He can make a better match." "Like enough the host of the Golden Calf thought so, for he was one of the first to catch him in the street, they told me." "Come with me, Lazar, my boy," he said. "You and I were always fond of a joke together. Come to the inn; we will drink to your health," and he led him rway." "What a world this is!" said Matey, suddenly. "It is a very good world," snapped his grandfather, "if only there were less fools in it, say I." "They say," went on Apolena, "that when Seraphena heard the news, instead of laughing with joy, she just blubbered, and that when Lazar saw her at it, he also went to weeping, and then those two precious idols wept away on a bench side by side, instead of being glad." "Well, perhaps it was their way of being glad," said Matey. "Was there ever such a dunce as that boy?"-aid his mother. "Who ever weeps when they are glad I should like to know?" "He only says that out of perversion! He is like a plg—pull him by the ear one way, if you wish him to go the other." Here Matey took the hint, and began grunting like a plg. "Well, perhaps, after all," said Apolena, speaking lound, "Lazar may marry her." "Of course the host of the Golden Calf will stick to him if possible, now he is rich," said her father, kicking Matey to make him stop grunting. "Well, for my part," said Apolena, "I wish Seraphina luck. She is a good girl, if lanky and marked with the smallipor, and she had scoldings and slappings enough before Lazar had that lucky dream. I hope that they may get married." "And still there are people who ridicule dreams, and abuse the little lottery," said her father, meditatively. "What will you," said Apolena. "There are still people who believe that the world is round like an apple, and that the people on the other side walk about with their heads, and have their legs in the air! And others, like that professor who came here hunting vermin, who told us we came probably from fishes. There are lots of tools in this world, and one has to hear a lot of nonsense every day. The best plan is to let it go in one ear, and out of the other." And Apolena got up, and began scraping potatoes for the evening soup. Baltimore's Oldest People. By MRS. R. C. MILLER, in Leslie's. Ballimore has two remarkable centenarians among her residents—a man and a woman. The man is a tall, heavy-set Russian, who is not only the oldest man in the Monumental City, but very likely the oldest in the United States; for Louis Abraham Kallinsky is nearing his one hundred and sixteenth birthday. The other is Mrs. Susan Askey, a woman who was born in Maryland and who has spent her entire life of one hundred and four years as a resident of that State. An interview with these old people brought forth many interesting reminiscences, for both of them still retain all their faculties and recall with amazing vividness the incidents of three-quarters of a century or more ago. Mrs. Askey spoke of the many changes in her native city and the growth of her chosen religion, for she is a devout Methodist Episcopalian and has been a member of that sect for eighty-two years. Up to her ninety-eighth year she was a regular attendant at church worship and took an active part in church work. Today she can give you the names of her pastors for the last seventy-five years. Last year she was taken to church on her birthday in an automobile. She declared that she liked motoring and looked forward to a ride on her birthday this year. Mrs. Askey remembers nothing of the War of 1812, save that at its outbreak she was sent to Frederick, Md., where she remained with an uncle until it was over. She then returned to Baltimore and was educated at St. Patrick's Catholic School. Doesn't Count the Cost. "She spares no expense when she entertains." "I should say not. We were up there, the other, evening, and she actually served fresh eggs."—Detroit Free Press. Tea made from red clover blossoms is a good blood purifier. THE COAT 'New York City'—Shirt waist made in tailor-style, but finished with a frill at the left of the front, are new and smart. This one is so made that the frill is removable and can be used 'or S omitted as liked and can be renewed without renewing the entire waist. The tucks over the shoulders are arranged close to the armhole seams in conformity with the latest style and on exceedingly becoming lines. There are two tucks at each side of the box pleat at the front, and when the frill is used it is attached to an additional band, which is buttoned into place. Linen with the frill of handkerchief lawn makes the waist illustrated, but there are a great many fashionable waisting materials this season. Shirt waists of thin materials made in tailored style are greatly liked, the familiar madras and fabrics of the sort are more beautiful than ever, and such a waist as this one is equally appropriate for silk and flannel. The waist is made with fplants and back. The tucks are laid on indicated lines, and a neck-band finishes the neck. The collar is of the high turned-over sort, attached by means of buttonholes and studs. The sleeves are of regulation fulness, but are finished with bands and rolled over The Monotone Effects. The monotone effects either in black and color are seldom carried to extremes this year. The frock color mounting quite to the face proved so abecoming when tried last year that women rebelled and dressmakers relented, and this season we have the booming cream or white next the face once more. All the blue gems are in very high favor. pins that are held in place by means of links. The frill is of graduated width and can be pleated or gathered. The quantity of material required for the medium size is three and one-fourth yards, twenty-one or twenty-four, two and three-fourth yards, thirty-two or two yards, forty-four inches wide, with three-eighth yard, twenty-one or twenty-four, one-fourth yard, thirty-two, one-eighth yard, forty-four inches wide or one and three-eighth yards of ribbon four inches wide for frill. Circular Knickerbockers. Knickerbockers are always in demand during the cold weather. They mean perfect protection against searching winds and are thoroughly comfortable and satisfactory to wear. They are well liked for the exercise suits that have become general and are, in fact, generally desirable. They can be made to take the place of petrelcoats for skating, tramping and any out-door sports. These are circular, which means that they are smooth over the hips, while they are comfortably full about the knees. They are closed at the sides and are easily adjusted. Serge is much liked for their making, flannel is used by a great many women, and those who do not care for so much warmth like ponge, sateen or silk, and often they are made with removable linings of lawn, the linings being made exactly like the outside, but finished separately. The bloomers are circular, the leg portions being joined at front and back, and they are fitted by means of short hip darts. The front and back portions are joined to separate bands and the openings are finished with over-laps. The quantity of material required for the medium size is four yards twenty-four, three yards thirty-two or two yards forty-four inches wide. 1 Large Muffs Favored. Muffs will be larger, than ever, according to the best authorities. Immense pillow and rug muffs, will be on sale and the sizes will run as high as twenty-eight and thirty inches. There seems to be a sort of rivalry between the milliners and the furriers, and the latter are trying to produce a muff that will compete with the gigantic hats that have for some time been the fashion. It looks as if they would succeed. WOMAN'S REALM Sweetbread Timbales.—Chop or pound fine and smooth enough uncooked sweetbreads to fill a cup. Before chopping the sweetbreads, remove all skin, pipes and tubes; add the whites of four eggs, one at a time, beating in each egg thoroughly and smoothly before the next is added; then add a teaspoonful of salt, a dash of white pepper and beat in very gradually one pint of rich cream. Turn the mixture into well-buttered timbale moulds. Set the moulds on many folds of paper in a dish; pour in boiling water to reach half the height of the moulds. Cook in the oven until the timbales are firm in the centre. The water should not boil during the cooking. Serve, turned from the moulds, with any nice sauce. Mushrooma are a good addition to the sauce.—Boston Cooking School Magazine. Countess Cassini Sings. Countess Cassini, niece and adopted daughter of the former Russian Ambassador at Washington, D. C., who has been studying in Paris for the past two years, made her debut in a concert, at the Theatre Femina there. A fashionable audience was present, including Count Cassini and many members of the Diplomatic Corps. The Countess sang in Italian, German and French. Lace She Must Have. Lace, old or new, real or imitation, is so high in favor that we have no opportunity of even questioning its ascendancy. Whatever other fashion we may adopt tentatively, we are bound to accept lace during the coming season, and the lace robe, wrap, mantilla or coat, not to speak, of course, of the lace blouse, will be necessary concomitants to every wardrobe. Lovely patterns like carved ivory are to be seen this season, and among the most popular laces may be mentioned Irish and Venetian, tambour, Cluny and Valenciennes—a variety of others being likewise included in the scheme of things modistic. White Spanish lace will be seen in the form of mantillas and shawls, while dyed laces are a veritable 'obsession just now, and, with the aid of embroidered lace, some of the statelest and most exquisite of ball, reception and dinner dresses are being evolved.—Philadelphia Record.

Dull-finished gold or silver seems to form an approved setting for semi-precious stones, and these "antiques" made to order are reasonable enough to admit of a fair-sized collection. The well-dressed woman changes her bracelets with her gowns. Egyptian, Russian, Italian and Indian jewelry form the models for these lovely ornaments. They give an appropriate finish to gowns that trace their lines back to the other centuries. They are certainly more artistic than the shiny, plain bands of gold. Their colorful lines are effective additions to day and evening gowns.—Indianapolis News. Beauty While You Wait. "Please smile the Julia Mariowe smile." The speaker was a beauty specialist. As she spoke she stepped back and viewed her pupil, says the New York Sun "The Julia Marlow smile is becoming to you. Smile again," said she. Then, eyeing her client critically, she said: "Now please rise and walk about the room and smile as you walk." The pupil rose as directed and walked across the room. "Now come toward me and smile," said the teacher. And the pupil obeyed. "You would be surprised," said she, motioning her pupil to a seat, "could you but know how large a part the smile plays in real life. In these days it is the woman who smiles! "Once upon a time it was the woman, who frowned; and there were periods, in the Jane Eyre days, when to wear an imperious expression was the real thing. But that was long ago. In these days it is the girl with a laugh. "Even queens laugh. In the latest picture of Queen Amelia of Portugal that royal lady wears a smile so deep that it will not come off, while Queen Alexandra has been caught, by the camera smiling. "I tell my clients to bleach the teeth with peroxide of hydrogen, using the kind that comes for medicinal purposes. This will make the teeth as white as nature intended them to be. "There is a distinct art in smiling. The eyes must smile and the whole face must light up; "I went one day to groom a lady who is as old as your grandmother. Yet she holds her place as a leader of society. She is always, spoken of as a handsome, woman. "Please tell me your secret," I begged of her. 'How do you keep your face so young, and particularly your mouth?' 'Your teeth and your ips are perfect, and your mouth has a natural Cigid's bow. It is all practice, my dear, said the old beauty. My mouth was once of the melancholy, variety. The porers bagged and one side sagged lower than the other. It was a very dejected-looking mouth. I learned to train it." PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR Scarfs are being draped even more elaborately than last season. Belts for street costumes are very wide and have large buckles. Opals are very stylish, especially when set in a necklace or brooch. There is a predominance for the fur-trimmed velvets for cold weather wear. Opera hoods are less in evidence than was expected by fashion prophets. Tiny faces of foxes head some of the hatpins to go with fur-trimmed headgear. The loveliest evening scarfs are made of chiffon finished with deep satin bands. The use of dull silver and gold ornaments on dresses and hats is seen everywhere. Hairpins of twisted shell, which are square across the top, are among the newest shown. Bands of gold lace are often worn around the head when the evening gown is decollete. Chop or pound fine and smooth breads to fill a cup.

Long tunics of fine net silk, more or less elaborately embroidered, are among the distinguishing features of the new evening dresses from the other side of the water. One of the most conspicuous features of afternoon gowns is their fur trimmings, and the little heads, paws and tails of the animals are being employed as well as the usual bands. The semi-decollette frock, about which fashion was undecided, is now firmly established as the correct compromise between street and full evening dress. It goes with the picture hat. The latest necklaces brought from the Far East resemble flexible snakes. They are of antique or green gold, finished metal, and have eyes and tongue of imitation rubles, sapphires and emeralds. Black satin gowns are smart this season, but they are veiled with tunics of embroidered net or chiffon, covered with a jerseylike bodice of heavy embroidery—net and jet combined cowl with jet. ```markdown ``` Russian influence is strongly felt in some of the newest fashion, both for street and evening wear.

Advertising rates given on application. Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Sa, as Second-Class mail matter. SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1910 GEORGIA has added another number to its acts of outlawry by the lynching of the colored man this week near Lyons. In the near future the white outlaws will begin lynching each other. They should remember too, that "The laws of changeless justice binds, Oppressor with oppressed. And close as sin and suffering joined. They march to fate abreast." It is stated that in Yamacraw a dance hall or "free and easy" is in full blast in connection or near a near-beer saloon. A few years ago through the efforts of a few colored citizens, these destestable places were closed by the city council. If it is true that such a place is in existence in the city, the police should have it closed. We can not afford to allow the continuance of these places that debauch our young boys and girls. Can This Be True? It is reported that about two weeks ago a white man is alleged to have committed an assault on an inoffensive colored woman at Waycross. It is said that a lady became interested in the case and induced the prosecution to be made. The man charged with the crime was arrested, but is reported to have been released on a very small bond. The newspapers have very guardedly kept from saying anything about the matter. It is reported that the colored citizens of Waycross are incensed over the affair and a strong firm of lawyers have been employed to push the case. If this report is true, the white citizenus of Waycross can not afford to condone it, but do everything to see that the law is vindicated. Crime committed by a white man is as heinous as crime committed by a colored man, and in it the law should be blind. THE TRIBUNE and its readers know that if the participants were reversed as to races, the man would have been strung up long ago. Waycross should clear its skirts of this grave case by seeing that simple justice is done. Another Georgian Honor- ed. President Taft has nominated Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson of Atlanta as recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. This position is now being held by Hon. John C. Dancy. The friends of Col. Johnson congratulate him on his appointment. He is one of the most brilliant lawyers of the race. He is the second Georgian that has been signally honored within a few years by honorable positions in Washington. The early confirmation of Col. Johnson is anticipated. Morris Brown College The agitation in some quarters to industrialize Morris Brown College is very unfortunate. This is an institution connected with a great church. Its purpose is to educate students for service as teachers, preachers, missionaries, etc. As we have been informed this institution was never intended for an industrial school and it is only recently that this idea has been presented and in an unauthorized way. The leaders in this great church should put down the differences and make Morris Brown what it is destined to be. "The above is an ediforial from the Savannah, (Ga.) Tribune, of which Mr. Sol. C: Johnson is the able editor, and is very timely. A little over a year ago, Rev. Stinson, the so called financial agent for the above institution, came to this city with a number of letters of recommendations from Mr. Clarke Howell of the Atlanta Constitution, Editor Gray of the Journal and other influential Georgians, endorsing him as the agent for the above school. The first thing that came to our mind was that Morris Brown college must be losing prestige, in having failed, to keep up the standard that was set by her founders and was going backward. "Editor Johnson.says in his editorial that it is unfortunate that the institution has to be so reduced No; it is not unfortunate; it only shows that the school is not able to keep up with the pace that Atlanta, and Clark Universities, as well as the Atlanta Baptist College are setting for her. To take on the industrial feature only indicates that the A. M. E. Church in Georgia cannot conduct an intellectual institution, It is fortunate for the race and is an indication that the Booker Washington idea is fast taking hold of the South, and that if it keeps on, the curriculum will be changed in a large number of the high schools and the industrial features added. This will only be to where it should really be, "At any rate, there are too many institutions having the name of colleges and only doing normal work. Colleges and universities grow. They do not develop in a in a night. Morris Brown College should carry out the principles for which she was founded. The industrial idea is attached to all the larger institutions of learning. Howard, Fisk, Wilberforce, Shaw, Clarke, the Now Orleans university and a number of the leading institutions of learning maintain this feature, and carry out the higher educational feature as well. Most of those people who are going around the country "aping" Dr. Booker T. Washington in his method only make themselves ridiculous, in trying to do as he does. This is the case of a large number who do this kind of soliciting after the manner of the founder of Tuskegee, and in the end they get nothing. "What the South really needs is institutions of learning to make men and women: institutions that will teach the dignity of labor; institutions that will teach men that all kinds of education are essential to the progress and success of the race, and that the great light is not over education but ignorance. "Fisk university nor Howard would think of lowering their course of study and turning their laboratories and buildings into trade shops, in order to get a few thousand dollars from Mr. Robert C. Ogden or Mr. J. D. Rockefeller. They would rather tell them what their graduates are doing after having gone out from their schools, and show them the good that higher education is doing. Morris Brown college cannot take the place of Hampton and Tuskegee, any more than can Howard and Shaw be substituted for Tuskegee and Hampton. If institutions of learning after having been in existence for years and fail to come up to the standard set by their founders for them, it argues that we have set a standard higher than our people can reach. "No one has yet made a success of the industrial plan on a big scale but Booker Washington, and as he has struck the popular chord, there have been a number of imitators. Let us establish our own schools and operate them after our own plans, and leave others alone. The A. M. E. Church needs an intellectual college to train her ministers in Georgia, and there is no need trying to run in its place an industrial school. They will find it harder to operate than any other school. If she needs anything in Georgia, she needs a school for the moral, spiritual and intellectual training of her ministers. "The only way to have a good high school or industrial school is to have well prepared teachers. How are we going to get them? Where are they to be educated? In primary and intermediate schools? Where does Tuskegee get her teachers? From Tuskegee or from the Harry Hungerford school in that state, or from the Lawrenceville Academy, at Lawrenceville, Virginia? No; they come from Harvard, Yule, Cornell, Fisk, Howard, the state universities of the west and other higher institutions. "The thing for Morris Brown College to do is to let the industrial idea go to Tuskegee, as they (Tuskegee) can handle it there, and prepare men for the ministry, and for teachers' profession, as they started out to do." The above is taken from the Colored Department of the Jacksonville Times Union. In part we agree with the brilliant writer, but demur when in alluding to the industrial idea and said "Editor Johnson says in his editorial that it is unfortunate that the institution has to be reduced." Our good friend is mistaken in this, we did not say it; we simply stated the agitation to industrialize the institution is very unfortunate. Bishop Smith and the President, flanked by the able board of trustees will see to it that Morris College will be among the leaders, and too, they will not adhere to the industrial idea. St. Phillip Dots. The attendance at every service continue to grow. On Sunday night the Christian Star Light Society attended in a body. Their annual sermon was preached by Rev Singleton.

MINISTERS ONLINE The Interdenominational Ministers meeting last month was much interest and the public alike of the city were out in large numbers. Prof R R Wright of the G S I College addressed the meeting on the importance of the Semi Centennial Exposition in 1913. Committees were appointed looking forward for a mass meeting. On next Tuesday March 8th, the following subject will be discussed: "The best method of redeeming our people from the vices of this city." Revs W L Cash and P W Greentheart will lead in the discussion. These meetings are held at the First Congregational church, Rev W L Cash pastor. Ministers of every denomination are invited, strangers and visitors are welcome. Let the ministers come prepared to give an expression on band funerals on Sundays. F B B Church Our services on last Sunday were well attended. At our communion, there were quite a number of visiting preachers, deacons and members. On Sunday night the church was crowded. The distinguished guest was the Hyacinth Aid and Social Club. Rev Wright read for the lesson Matt 17:1:17. A very interesting history of the club was read by the secretary and Rev Wright very heartily welcomed the club. Among other things he said that the officers of this club were the first that he installed when he started out in his career as a christian. Rev Wright's text was from Matt 17. The subject was "The Transfiguration" and his first theme was "The prayer meeting on the mountain." He gave a very vivid description of the meeting held by our Lord with Peter, James and John and while on the mountain, Moses and Elias appeared and talked with them. It was very evident that the sermon was enjoyed by all. The choir sang very sweetly. "Somewhere," and Rev Wright led the hymn "That awful day will surely come." In his usual way, Rev Wright invited those who felt the need of prayer to the mercy seat, and a large number bowed and Rev Wright very earnestly took their cases to the throne of grace. Bro Joseph Washington, president of the club, led the beautiful hymn "Coming home." His expression of gratitude to the pastor for the beautiful sermon to which he had just listened was very pointed. He introduced the speaker who presented the very generous donation to the pastor, church, choir, sexton and even remembered Rev Sims. Do not forget the B Y P U on Monday night at 518 Duffy St west. Attend our church at anytime. Second Baptist Church.

Poy FAMOUS SOPRANO SING- : EX. Madam E. Azaila Hackley Sings Friday Night. The Savannah miusical lovers will have.an opportunity of hear- ing the sweetest and most cultur- ed soprano singer of the race on Friday evening of next week at the Beach Institute. Mrs, Hackley comes under aus- pices of the First Congregational Church. She is a Indy of rare talent, a vocalist as well as pianist, haying graduated with honor from ‘the Denver University College of Music. She has had three years of foreign study. She sings in four languages. After this season Mrs. Hackley will retire and devote her time to teaching and helping young art- ists. She has already encouraged many, assisting a young colored man to study in London. This year she will send Mr. Carl Ros- sini Diton to Germany to further his study as a pianist. This young man appeared here a few weeks ago. ‘The New York World says that “she is not only a well-known singer, but she is also known asa woman who' has consecrated her life as 2 musical missionary.’ “The London-Kensington News says: *‘Madam Hackley is the possessor of a genuine soprano voice of the rarest quality.” La Francaise, published at Paris complimented her by saying: “‘‘Finally we had ‘again the good fortune to hear Mrs. E, A. Hackley, so justly popular in the United States, and with *La Francaise.” She sang deliciously an old Scotch song, and ‘‘Spring,” brought her verita- ble success. Her voice, fresh and thrilling, is a great purity, and she interprets with exquisite art. She plays with difficulties and en- thuses and charms her auditors.” From the large number of tickets already sold, the indica- tions are that the Beach will be crowded as it has never been. .

When, a few days ago, young William James, Sidis, of Harvard, aged eleven, lectured to a select circle of mathematicians on the fourth dimension everybody gasped open-mouthed. "Did you ever hear of anything like that?" and privately looked up what the fourth dimension was. Taking this ejaculation not as a mere expression of a state of stupéfaction, but literally as a request for information the answer is that such a feat has very seldom, if ever, been equaled. 'There is no doubt that the boy Sidis stands very near the top of the list of prodigies. For he is not a mere mathematical prodigy, specimens of which occur in every century. His mind is marvelously developed on every side, and that is what does not often happen. The majority of children who are gifted with extraordinary precocity run to mathematics. And it is noticeable that even if they are not confined to mathematics, they shine in that subject. Macauley is perhaps the only case of a precocious child who had no gift for figures, and he went so far as to fail in his examinations on that account. Curiously enough, Sidis, although he is at present more remarkable in mathematics than in any other subjects, was backward in it for a number of years, although "backward," in connection with this wonderful boy, is meant only that he must have been all of seven or eight before he had got up to the point most men attain just before leaving college. So he stands not with the class of child prodigies like Zerah Colburn, who early mastered mathematics and never ranked higher than an interesting freak of nature, but with that limited group of wonder children to whom by some strange law scholarly greed flowers in babyhood — men like Pascal, Sir William Rowan, Hamilton, Ampere, Gauss, and Macauley. The list does not take long to tell. Nature is not often in a mood as generous as that, which must fill her when she sends those creatures from another world to let us have a glimpse of how things may be if we are good and are allowed to go to a higher planet before we die. Alse Pascal is, of course, the bright and shining example of a marvellous boy. Like Sidis, an only son, educated by his talented father, he was purposely kept from developing the evident bent of his mind toward mathematics and turned as far as possible to languages and literature. He made remarkable progress, but figures continued to interest him more than dedications. He asked for a definition of geometry, and was told that it consisted of drawing lines and defining their relation to one another. He got a bit off chalk and descended to the cellar, where he worked in secret for a long time. One day, when the boy was twelve years old, his father went to the cellar and found him deep in chalk circles and triangles, and what not. He showed, when questioned, that he had evolved for himself the whole theory of geometry and had worked out its principles as far as the thirty-third proposition of Euclid. He was at that moment seeking to prove that the sum of the angles of a triangle equated two right angles. "All this, with absolutely no help of any kind, and so little knowledge of the vocabulary of mathematics that he called circles "rounds" and lines "shars." Not even Slids' lecture on the fourth dimension can equal this working out by a child of twelve of the theory of mathematics as the world's greatest minds had painstakingly put it together with centuries of effort. At the age of twelve, too, the young Pascal wrote a 'treatise on anastics, suggested by the fact that when a pewter dish was struck with a knife the resulting sound could be stopped by pressing the finger against the dish. A little later he made elaborate calculating machines. At sixteen he wrote a treatise on cone sections which Descartes declared the work of a master. Ampere, who left his name to the science of electricity, was another child genius. At the age of three he had taught himself to count with the aid of pebbles and had found out for himself a good many theories of arithmetic. At this age he became very ill and was for three days denied food. At the end of the fast he was given biscuit, but instead of eating it he broke it up into pieces to count with, an operation he considered more interesting. He read everything with avidity. His mind did not run in one channel and he welcomed every volume that came in his way. When he was ten or twelve years old he went to a library to ask for the works of a certain author. The librarian told him, in amazement, that the books were in Latin. The boy went home chagrined; for he did not know Latin, being a sickly child, and held back from books as far as possible, but after six weeks he appeared again and told the librarian he had learned to read the books now. Ampare is one of the few child prodigies who seems to have been sickly. He had fits from time to time, while most child wonders appear to have been physically normal in every respect. Sir William Bowar Hamilton read Hebrew at seven, and at twelve knew Latin and Greek, spoke French, German, Italian, Spanish, and had a fairly thorough knowledge of Persian, Syriac, Arabic, Hindustani, Sanskrit and Malay. This rather singular choice of tongues arose from the fact that he was destined by his family for the East Indian service. At twelve, too, he had mastered most of the higher mathematics, having taught himself. At seventeen the boy found an error in reasoning in Laplace's "Mecanique Celeste," which brought his work to the attention of astronomers. At nineteen he had written a paper which, according to an authority of the day, "made a new science of optics." These three men represent the high water mark of child genius, unless young Sldis is to rank with them. They were gifted not in any one subject to the exclusion of others, but in every domain of thought they chose to enter. And their genius did not die with maturity. They went on from good to better and made each his indelible mark on the world's history. In the same class, though less famous, was the late Professor of Astronomy at Williams College, Truman Henry Stafford, who died in 1001. He had an extraordinary gift for mental calculation, which first showed itself at the age of three years. At seven he was studying algebra and geometry, and at eight higher mathematics and astronomy. Wanting logarithms he found them for himself at this age by a theory of his own. At ten he computed almanacs and a year after brought out an almanac of his own, which had a large sale, and in which the calculations in regard to the moon were made by a new and labor-saving device. At ten he squared in his head the neat sum of 365, 365, 365, 365, 365 in not more than one minute. But he was not only mathematical. He was interested in history, the natural sciences and philosophy. He took his Harvard degree at the age of eighteen and specialized on astronomy, which he taught for many years. Carl Frederich Gauss, the famous German mathematician, when he was three years old, overheard his father making a calculation in regard to the wages of some workmen. Young Carl suddenly looked up and called his father's attention to the fact that he had made an error in his figures in one place. This boy entered the gymnasium at the age of eleven and mastered all studies with the greatest rapidity, so that at fourteen he was thoroughly well informed in literature, science and philosophy. His mathematical faculty increased rather than diminished with years, and much of modern mathematical science is due to his labor. George Parker Biddle, another celebrated boy mathematician, was taught, when six years old, to count up to 100. This was all the teaching in mathematics he ever received, but four years later he had evolved a system to take the place of logarithms. He did not show any remarkable aptitude for other studies, but ranked well and became an excellent engineer, with his mathematical faculty unimpaired throughout life. Zerah Colburn, the Vermont farmer boy who startled the world a hundred years ago, lost his strange faculty in later life, and, though he had a fair education and did well enough he never distinguished himself in any way after reaching maturity. He made extraordinary calculations at six, and at seven he had, in his head, the number eight to the sixteenth power. For the benefit of those who do not care to figure for half an hour the answer to this little sum is 281, 474, 975, 710, 656. He was considered a backward child before his unusual gift was discovered, but he was not, apparently, deficient in other ways. The trouble had been only that he had been secretly devoting himself to reasoning out mathematical problems, and had not given thought to other matters. He stands high among mathematical prodigies pure and simple, even though he falls below the standard of several others. These wonders at figures are not infrequently of the type of Jedediah Buxton, a worthy Englishman born some 200 years ago with a remarkable mathematical sense. He devoted himself from the age of twelve to keeping in his head an itemized account of all the free beer ever given him, and found this cifyling occupation so absorbing that he never had mind to attend to minor matters of a scientific nature. Thomas Babington Macaulay should perhaps have been ranked with the universal geniuses, but it is true that his precocious gift was largely in the direction of literature. He read incessantly from the age of three. At seven he had composed a very-fair compendium of universal history from the creation to the year 1800. At eight he had written a treatise destined to convert the natives of Malabar to Christianity. As a recreation from this weighty work he wrote in the same year a romance in the style of Scott in three cantos entitled "The Battle of Cheviot." A little later came a long poem on the history of Olaf Magnus and a vast pile of blank verse, entitled "Fingal, Poem in Twelve Books." But he dis liked mathematics, and did not pass his examination in that subject—this standing out among all child prodigies. His memory was such that he literally never could forget anything, and after twenty years could repeat bits of poetry-read-only once. Horace Greeley would undoubtedly have been numbered among those prodigies if he had been born in a different environment. Before he was three years old, and before he could speak plainly, he had learned to read, and would have acquired a Macaulaylike fund of information at an early age if the information had been there to acquire. But unfortunately one cannot be a prodigy of learning without something to learn, and Greeley chose his birthplace in discreetly so far as making a reputation along those lines is concerned. A universal genius can come only from a cultured family. A mathematical wonder may spring up anywhere, but mathematics was not the strongest point of the budding journalist Greeley. Mozart, is classed high among wonders, though he was prococious only in regard to music. He began to take lessons; at three. At four he composed and wrote a part of a concerto so difficult, his father said, that no one could play it. At five he played in public; at six he toured Europe, petted at every court. At seven he played the harpsichord, the organ, the violin, and had published two sets of sonatas. At ten he had written an oratorio and had played at Haarlem on the then largest organ in the world. At fourteen he heard the Miserere in the Sistine Chapel at Rome, and going home transcribed every note of it. This feat created a great sensation, for it was forbidden by severe penalties to take down a note of the music as it was being sung in the chapel, and any mortal less a wonder than Mozart would have been accused of breaking the law. Handel, too, was by way of being a child prodigy. He taught himself music on an old harpsichord in the attic, for his father wanted him to be a doctor and would not encourage the child's evident inclination for another profession. He was discovered playing a great organ one day when his father and he were at the court of Saxo Weissenfeils, and the Duke forced the unmusical old gentleman to promise not to thwart his son's genius. But of all stories! the most touching is that told by Sir John Evelyn in his diary when he records in his quaint, dignified style the death of his wonderful little boy. "Died my deare son Richard, to our inexpressible grieve and affliction, 5 years and three days onely, but at that tender age a prodigy for witt and learning. * To give only a little taste of them, and thereby glory to God, sense of God. * at two and a half old he could perfectly read any of ye English Latine or French or Gothic letters, pronouncing the first three languages exactly. He had before the 5th year or in that yeare * got by heart almost the entire vocabularie of Latin and French primitives and words, could make congruous syntax, turne English into Latine, and vice versa, construe and prove what he read, and did the government and, use of relatives, verbes, substantives, ellipses, and many figures and tropes and made considerable progress in Comenius' Janua; began for himself to write legibly and had a strong passion for Greek. * As to his pleaty astonishing were his applications of Scripture to the occasion. * He declaim'd against ye vanities of the world before he had seen any. * So early knowledge, so much piety and perfection! Such a child I never saw and for such a child I blessed God in whose bosom he is." — New York Times. Quaint and Curious London has a trackless troller.

In Paris, owing to the increasing length of women's hatskins and the list of accidents, such as eyes put putcars, noses and cheeks torn, the police officials propose to place some restriction on wearing hatskins in omnibus, railway cars, theaters and other public places. EARLY MATURITY. Egg production is a question more of maturity than of feeding, but it must be understood that the feeding may be so far wrong as to greatly interfere with the natural tendencies of the bird. One may feed liberally and yet not feed well, especially when egg production is sought. Uually, maturing poulets, fed liberally with an egg-producing ration are much the best layers—Farmers Home Journal.

Winter Use of Fans. There is an old story of a monk who would have nothing to do with a stranger who stopped at his cell, because the fellow blew on his hands to warm them and into his teacup to cool the beverage. "Away with thee!" exclaimed the monk. "I will have no man about me who blows both hot and cold from his mouth." But that monk didn't live. in the twentieth century. Had he done so and thrown away his electric fan because it did as the stranger did, he would have lost an invaluable ald. There are many uses to which the electric fan can be put in the winter, as, for example, the man who has a heating plant in his house can use it for creating a forced draft, thus adding much in getting the house warm on a cold morning. The fan can also be made to blow through a radiator and distribute the warm air more evenly. Merchants are now using fans for circulating warm air in the show windows to prevent the accumulation of frost. Of course they assist materially in ventilation in both summer and winter.—The Pathfinder. Good For Evil. "I trust, you try to 'return good for evil.' said the high-minded man.

GOOD, CHANGE The wrong food and drink causes a lot of trouble in this world. To change the food is the first duty of every person, that is ill, particularly from stomach and, nervous trouble. As an illustration: A lady in Mo. has, with her husband, been brought around to health again by leaving off coffee and some articles of food that did not agree with them. They began using Postum and Grape-Nuts food. She says: "For a number of years I suffered with stomach and bowel trouble, which kept getting worse, until I was very ill most of the time. About four years ago I left off coffee and began taking Postum. My stomach and bowels improved right along, but I was so reduced in flesh and, so nervous that the least thing would overcome me. "Then I changed my food and began usig. Grasp Nuts in addition to Postum. I lived on these two principally for about four months. Day by day I gained lifesh and strength until now the nervous trouble has entirely disappeared and I feel that I owe my life and health to Postum and Grape-Nfft. "Husband is 73 years old and he was troubled, for a long time, with occasional cramps and slept badly. Finally I prevailed upon him to leave on coffee and take Postum. He had stood out for a long time, but after he tried Postum for a few days he found that his guide sleep, and that his cramps disappeared. He was satisfi- and had his long neck to coffee, "I have a brother in California who has been using Postum for several years, his whole family use it also because they have had such good results from it."

Mr, Ruckstubl sald st was proposed to erect this huge monument in the shape of a magaificent column, to serve not only asa monument to al- ready recorded accomplishments in ‘the cause of”peace, but also to estab- sh further the propaganda and “to help along the world’s desire for unt- ‘versal peace.” “The project,” said Mr, Ruckstuhl, “is to choose a plateau on the Hudson ‘between here and Ossining and build @ platform about 250 feet square. From this platform, which at fts cor- ners will be ornamented with four groups of sculpture, will rise a cube about 125 feet high of two stories. "The first story will be the foyer or assembling hall, which will be orna- mented with busts of the great men who have contributed toward the pro- paganda of peace, a statue of Jesus in the character of the: Prince of Peace, and illustrations In oil and stained glass of the history of the evolution of peace. = “On the second floor will be a con- cert hall, with a great organ, to be used for musicals, peace conferences, and even small art erhibitions. The outside corners of this cube will be ornamented with elght high relfefs of sculpture symbolizing the arts and fruits of peace. “On the outside of the second story of this‘cube will be four colonnades, between the columns of which will be statues of about forty of the greatest Denefactors of mankind. Among them the only man represented who had any relations to the military Iife will be Washington, who was ‘first in peace.” “Rising from this cube will be a column about 800 feet high, at the bas of which will be a group symbol- {zing Amierica, holding in her hand the Gentus of Peace, while by her side hangs the sword of war, sheathed and enfwined with ollve branches, “In the’capital of this column will be observation ‘galleries, from which visitors miay enjoy the surrounding Panorama, On the capital will be a sort of cap, having a room about forty feet square, which will serve as a weather station for the United States Government or as a wireless telegraph office. On top of this a elreular globe of glass {n the daytime will tell the time and at night, with the afd of a powerful revolving light, will serve as a lighthouse. ¥ “The interior of this column will be divided Into twenty different sto- ries, one for each of the last twenty. centuries, and each devoted to an his- torical review of the evolution of peace from a state of social chaos and war. Elevators will take visitors from the basement to the fop, and a circular stair will enable them to as- cend or descend, “The materials of the monument will be steel and a cream colored terra cotta, but all the sculpture will be in bronze. Thé motive power will be electricity. Around the tower will be a garden, a cafe and klosks for shelter. For obviousreasons it would be impolitic at the present time to give any hint as to.the exact location of the site proposed. “The total height of the monument will be about 1200 feet, the highest in the world. Erected in the Interest of the propaganda of peace, it fs be- leved that it will be a most effective sermon, . . “To erect any such monument through popular subscriptions would be impossible. I therefore propose, and am encouraged in my proposal by well known and Influential New York- ‘ers, to organize a syndicate of bust- ae men who will build this monu- ment as.a business investment. . | “Revenue will be derived from the renting of the restaurant, cafe, con- cert hall, vaudeville show and other ‘concessions on the ground beneath the big platform. “The Elffel Tower, itis well known, has paid for itself since its erection, about twenty years ago, and has had as revenue producers only the eleva- tor service, a restaurant and a small theatre. As the moneyspending pow- er of the 5,000,000 people who live within a radius of five miles from the centre of the city of New York is greater than that of any other such Population, the projectors of this mouument believe that it will pay for | itself sooner than did the Eiffel Tow- er, which cost about $3,500,000, 1 have already had sufficient financlal encouragement to make it worth while 'to undertake this enterprise, and it Is believed in well informed | real estate circles that all the money | needed for It will be raised within a. reasonable time.”"—N. ¥.

KNELL 70 HOPES OF A GREAT HOST OF pe _ NELSONS CLAIMING THE ESTATE AS RELATIVES AMERICA A THIRSTY NATION. ‘Wore Than a Billion Pounds of Coffee Consumed in 1909 = Se s © @ © @¢ © 64 *weslc « Bmx “ea Springfield, Mass. — Disclosures maile concerning the past life, of Springfield's “Man of Mystery,” George D. Nelson, who died on Febru- ary 8, gives a death blow to the raims of scores of alleged helrs to sthe $1,000,000 estate he left. The «result of 2 careful Investigation ap- ‘pears to show beyond doubt that the So-called Nelson was really George Nelson Dunn; that he was born in -Chenango Forks, N. Y., lived there to manhood, and that he changed his mame ant became lost to even his near relatives because of a business -venture in which he sunk all of his cmgney and became involved in debt. gFiiiherto all knowledge of Nelson’s ‘past was that he came here thirty years ago, driving from the West two blooded horses purchased by a rail- xoad president; that Bliss Vinton, a ‘young society man, gave him p“posi- tion on the Vinton estate, of which he became manager; that upon the death of Vinton, Mrs. Emma Goodrich Vin- ton, the widow, who lost both of her hands in a fire, valued his services so highly that she persuaded him not to make a marriage he contemplated; cand that upon her death in 1908 he inherited her entire fortune of $600,- 000. Mrs. Vinton’s relatives made a strenuous effort to break the will, but falled. Recently Nelson sent for his nephew, George G. Dunn, of Camden, Onclda County, N. ¥.,"a traveling salesman for a Rochester company, and informed him of their relation- ship. He left his entire estate to George G. Dunn, ignoring his only surviving brother, Andrew W. Dunn, a grocer, of Chenango Forks, father of George G. Dunn; the latter's brother, William, of Fulton, N. Y., -and George's sister, who lives in Os- ego. ‘The man so long-known as George D. Nelson was tho son of Nelson Dunn, and was born in 1845, on a farm in the town of Greene, Chen- “ango County. He was graduated from -@ Syracuse business college, and be- camesa shipper of butter and eggs to the New York City market. He was doing a fine business when he was ruined by a glut in the butter market 4n 1869, at a time when he had just Jaid down in New York an especially large shipment of butter.

He had left in Chen- ango Forks his father and mother, a sister, Mabelle, and two uncles, Au- drew W. and Bagley T. Dunn. Of these only Andrew Duan survives. For two or three years after his dis- appearance he sent a few brief com- munications to hls old home, but he gave no opportunity by walch he might be found, and his friends and neighbors finally believed that he was dead. When Dunn arrived here he called himself George D. Nelson. As he grew in favor with Vinton and Mrs. Vinton, and finally {nherited the Vin- ton estate, there was much specula- tion as, to his antecedents, and the humble manner in which he had mado his advent {n Springfield was recalled. He told nothing of himself, and be- money and became heavily’ involved in debt. Mrs. Vinton built a hotel and a theatre, which Nelson managed, and to which, when they became his prop- erty, he gave his own name. He was a shrewd business man and nearly doubled the Vinton inheritance. In the light of these developments it is now clear why Nelson never reg- istered kere as a voter. He could not have answered the necessary queries as to his name, birthplace, etc.; with- out disclosing either his real identity or committing porjury. It was announced after Nelson's death that his sole heir, George G. Dunn, was the son of a sister. Tho belief exists_here that the nephew and‘his advisors have permitted the facts in Nelson’s life to become pub- llc in order to set at rest the claims of those persons named Nelson ‘who as- sert that they are relatives of the testator. They write from nearly every part of the country, and one, at least, came here to enforce his alleged relationship. Frank E. Carpenter, Nelson's attorney, declined to affirm or deny the story of hfs former client's lite. He sald that granting the story to be true, the validity of the will was not involved. “That document,” said he, “can be broken on only two grounds—un- sound mind or undue influence.

I assure the yeaders of The ‘Tribune, that it is a very pleasing task, and at the same time it fs our aim in this to carry inspiration to many who are anxious to read it. First, I want to tender my thanks to Dr. Butler and The Tribune for the many geod_things they have said ‘about us. We hardly feel that it is due us. Now the subject we wish to bring under the lime light is the “National Compact or York Rite Masons,” so called. I shall in this article lay them on the block and use my meat ax on them, and if tey still persist I will get some salt out of the dark sands of the sea, a cable's length from the shore, and giye them a gen- uine salting. . "The York Masons, so called in this country, are nothing but a set of public pirates, sailing under false col- ‘ors. They have filled the* pockets of ‘the less informed among our people ‘and they have’ succeeded in catching a number of them. ‘Mr, Willian Matthews, the great exponaat of the bogug stuff, took the vantage ground, and theteby safely burrowed himself, He selected his pals from men of his ‘cloth, Now, here is the substance of his-text: He said that they were the National ‘Compacts, and’ that they were mon- ‘archs of all they surveyed, and that ‘they-had 4 Supreme National Grana Master, etc, and that we the (Free ‘and Accepted Masons) were state ‘rights, and that we had ne recognl- ‘tion or Masonic standing outside of ‘the state. Now, if tie Devil had made @ careful search thyough his Satanic vocabulary he could not have found a bigger falsehoods Now, that was and is still, the vantage ground that the Compact Masons, so called, hope to hold their own. Now, such argumenf to thé less informed will naturally have its effect. See? Now, let me get my axe, ¢all Mr. Matthews from his grove; get Rev. ‘Mr. Kennedy, and all of the promo- ters of the bogus stuff, and let them answer these questions: ‘They say we ave State Grand Masters, and lodges, and put that in evidence that we have ‘no recogni- tion outside of the state.

AN ELOQUENT SURDAY SERMON 5Y- DR. ALH.C. MORSE *\grii€ines he Liiecwoxes: || &. Morse, pastor of the Strong Place Baptist Ghurch, Sunday preached sermon on the subject of “The Little Foxes,"* The text was from the Song of Songs, 2:15: Take the foxes, the Ulttle foxes that spoll the yineyards.” Dr. Morse said: © No one knows just what the Song of Songs teaches, but the picture tn these words Je plain. Here 1s a flou rishing vineyard which ié thick with blossoms, and the prospect is that fn a few weeks the-heavy clusters will ripen and rejoice the heart of the owner. But there is a peril which threatens this vineyard, for the nelghboring wood is filled with foxes; and they steal Into the vineyard and nibble the vines and devour the blos. soms and spoil the whole worth of the fleld, = ‘The heart is a vineyard; and the enemies are-many. And I shall speak this evening of the little foxes that ‘devour the vines, and the little sins that ruin the life’ For Iittle sins will burrow Into the soul and make It a den of evil things; and like the foses, they will multiply till the whole life is overrun with ruin. I am not so much afrald of great sitis; but I would have all men filled with a wholesome dread of the little wrongs that deaden the conscience and entangle the soul and multiply 50 fast that they overrun the life and bring tt to Srreparabip ula. Good men have alwgsé been afratd of little sins, and the army of mar- tyrs have been willing rather to en- dure torment than to turn aside so much as a trifle from the shining road of holiness. Joseph? He would rather languish fn a dungeon than do an easy wrong. Daniel? He would rather die in a lon's den than cease his habit of prayer. And the three holy children—they were simply asked to bend the knee and join in worship of the image the king had set up. It was an easy thing to do, but these three lads had rather be cast‘Into a furnace heated seven times ove than do, what they know was wYong;- they had rather burn for right than to do a little sin. T am afrafd of the Ittle foxes, be- cause they grow to full grown foxes. And I am afraid of little sius because they grow so great. No one can tell whereunto sin will lead. The begin- nings of sin are Ilke the leakings of water from a mighty reservoir; first an innocent ooze, then a drip, then a tiny stream, then a larger vein, then a flood, and the rampart ‘gives way and the town is swept to ruin. The habits of.sin are like the habits of burglars, who sometimes take a little fellow and put him through = window too small for a man to enter, and the child must open the door for the burglar gang to pass. So with little sins: they creep in and open the door for larger sins to enter. A ttle sin Is the thin wedge.and when once inserted it can be driven home till‘it splits and ruins the life. I am afraid of the Little foxes be- cause they multiply so fast; and I am afrald of Uttle sins because they are 60 easily repeated, and they become mighty for thelr multitude., All the little foxes in thfs man's vineyard would do as much harm as ane great, plundering elephant; and a thousand ttle sins in my life would-do it as inuch ruin as the one great sin In the life of the man just senttp the Fed- eral prison. I remember, when a lad, the so-called army worms first swept across the fields. They went straight shead, and moved like a mighty host mith “captains, They were ttle hings, but when they were gone the fields looked as though they had been swept by a fire. So a thousand little wrongs in the Iife carl rob it of beau- ty as really as one great, blazing, pub- lic transgression. ‘When ‘Austraila first was discov- ered there was no thistle in all its wide domain, But when it began to be colonized some foolish Scotchman took a package of the seed of his na- Non’s emblem, and now the thistle-ts e farmer's plague. It was only a ttle thing, but it grew. And I would ave all beware of little sins, for they srow; and when they creep into, the oul ‘they spread and multiply till they ruin the very garden of God: I am afrald of little sins because they involve a great principle. Let me illustrate what I mean: You go Into, 2 bank with a check for $1000, hnd in his hurry the clerk ‘passes out $1100, and you walk out.of the bank with that sum. You agree with me, suppose, that you do a dishonest hing—that you have stolen $100. Would it not be the same if your sheck called for $5, and he gave you $6 by mistake? You ride on a train fo Boston, and by some oversight your ticket is not collected, and you ride back on that very, samne ticket. You agree vith me that the thing 1s Frong. Is It not the same when you Hide on a trolley car and elnde the ronductor, or slip past the gateman ind enter the train? In elther case he man is a thief, and the little thief is warse, for he has been willing to sell himself for a nickel. That man has cheated the devil. ~ But you say ““Corporations do not have any souls.” Listen.

To ruin.tho, m{rror; it is only necessary"to ga bebind it and scratch the quicksilver with af pia again and again—a little of it to-day and some more to-morrow, ‘thi!’ it refuses to reflect. So of the thou- sand little wrongs we do, ‘They take the worth from the kingly conscience, and rob it of use and value. It is not necessary even to scratch a mitror to render It worthless; just’ let it stand fn an undusted room till the dust Hes deep, and nothing will be, seen In its face. So men can Jet the maxims of the world’ sift. through the, fe and settle into the thoughts, and’ they will be uniable to discern. be= tween good and bad, Or one can. breathe upon a mirror till {ts worth: is dulled, and a man can breathe up- on his life with selfish thought tilt he will fail to see the right. I telt- you that God has set in every Iife a Sacred monitor, and when that {s de- faced and‘broken, or even dulled, then there fs ruin, So much for the lives of all. But’ it the little foxes are ruinous to féldg - at large, they are especially so to some. And if the little sins are nox« fous to the public, they are especially so to those who are Christians, Thank God that even a great sin-cannot dev stroy a Christian person, because.he is of God! As Maclaren: says, “Sin is not incompatible with a Christian man, but even a little sin is incon-, sistent.” And a lttle sin can maka him miserable and spoil bis joy: in, Jesus. And there are many Chris. tlan people who do not see thelr; Sav- four’s face from one month's end to another. ‘The Christian’s life should be rfch, and his joy should be full. His word should be frank and his manner sin- cere. In everything he docs theto should be 2 heavenly worth; and’ yet there are Christians who haye'nd.oy, and thelr ways are not always sincere: They do excellent things, but not. al- ways with an excellent spirit; and their good 1s in evil repute. They. are kind to thelr friends, but are not even the publicans so? | They ought, also to be kind to those who despite , fully use them, They speak’ well of those who speak well of them, but when they speak of others they mix vitroil with their words. “They are hard and unforgiving and censoriays, and they think ft is superior right- eousness; whereas it is religious van- ity. ‘The truly Christian soul ts a fountain of kindness, Olled with gen- tle ways, .and {t will go out of its-way, to show its heart of love. ‘The Christian fe 1s an extraordin- ery Ife, and the Christian part of Iiv-, ing fs ‘the part which 1s over and above all that could be expected, And virtue’ begins with excess of duty. “ There fs no virtue In, compiilsory obedience, If a thing is done-because it cannot be helped, there Is 1o-ree+ ward. And there ‘is no credit in obedience which has no cholee. Here are Christian people: If they ‘only’ ‘ worship when it Is the easlést thing to do; If they only go to the church they like best; if they only speak tq those whom they Ike; if they only: say encouraging words when they are forced to do so—then thefr lives will, become as barren as though they, pulled thelr virtues up, by the roots. To suppress the soul to narrow Imita and to cramp the spirit ig.a spiritual - sin, and this in a Christian soul fs ag evil ag falsehood and blasphemy and drunkenness fn other people. ‘What, then, can be done with the lives of all? ‘How can the vineyard be kept? ‘There fs only one :answer,_ There is no power to expel evil but, inthe mage name of Christ, .And I tell you that He breaks the power, of canceled-sins and sets the prisoner free, He coverts the heart that has been torn by beasts, for He will cast out the evil and repair the ruin. Is any man’s life like a vineyard de- stroyed?
