VOL. XXV. PLAN TO RAISE MAINE FROM HAVANA HARBOR Eminent Engineer Submits Feasible Proposition to Government. WAR DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATING John F. O'Rourke Plans to Lift the Hull of Wrecked Maine Out of the Water in a Cradle of Cables. Washington, D. G.—Jno, F. O'Rourke—the engineer who bridged the Hudson at Poughkeepsie and drove the Pennsylvania Railroad's tunnel under the North river, laid before Acting Secretary of War Oliver his plan for raising the Manue from the mud of Havana harbor. Briefly, this newest plan is based upon a system of pneumatic caissons, such as have made possible the buildings of extremely deep foundations under water and which contributed largely to the success of the building of tunnels under the Hudson. No divers are used and the pontoon system is put completely aside. The method proposed is to swing the Maine in a cradle of powerful cables and lift her completely out of the water, where a complete inspection of her hull will be possible. While the ship is suspended above water, Mr. O'Rourke declares she can be repaired as readily as if she were in dry dock and after being relaunched from the cable cradle can leave Havana harbor under her own steam. This is said to be the first plan yet proposed which would present the ship to a naval board in precisely the same condition as she sunk on the night of February 15, 1898. First, a wharf of piles would be built on either side of the submerged wreck. Then, between the wharves and the hull twelve pneumatic caissons would be sunk, six on each side. Practical tunnel building operations would be employed thereafter and a hundred little tunnels would be driven through the mud, under the keel of the Maine, between the opposite caissons. Through each tunnel a powerful steel cable would be run up the outside of the caisson to the waarf above, so there would be a steel cable under the hull every four feet, and the aggregate of all would be calculated to be capable, of raising four times the weight of the wreck, which is about 7,000 tons. Each cable end would then be attached to a system of steel screws and the screwback principle would be employed. That the war department would be asked for a thousand men too perate the hans screws and by every man turning a lever at a given signal it is planned to pull the auk up in the cradle o cahies in practically the same way as the pyramids of Egypt are supposed to have been built by man-power. Being swung above the water line, the gap between the wharves would be bridged and the engineers would work under and around the hull. When repaired she could be let down into the water by a reversal of the process by which she was raised. Mr. O'Rourke expressed tae opinion to Mr. Oliver that the job could be done in three months, Mr. Oliver and General Bixby examined the plan in minute detail. Mr. O'Rourke was assured as one condition that, should an army board pass favorably on the project, his patents in the apparatus would be protected. BOYS' HARD TRIP. From New York to California is Not Easy on Skates. Paterson, N. J.-Nathan Lovin and Max Brodie, two Paterson boys, who started from New York for California upon roller skates several weeks ago, have written to their parents from Nebraska, telling of their experiences thus far in their journey. They started without money, and up to the time they wrote had visited 105 cities and received letters from that many mayors. "But we have had hard luck," Nathan writes. "We have slept on hay stacks and on bare floors. We have been hungry. We have had toothaches, headaches, stomachaches and every old kind of ache, but we intend to be game." Town Bars Saloon Always. Fresno, Cal—Dry in perquity is the restriction placed by the Santa Fe Railroad in all deeds to property in the new town of River Bank, which is to be a mid-valley di-*sion point on that line. District Agent Hobart says it is the first town laid out by a railroad to exclude saloons for all time. Madriz Cries For Help. Berlin, eGermany—The circular dispatch which Dr. Madriz, president of the government of Nicaragua, recently sent to Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy and Spain, demanding their intervention against the interference of the United States in Nicaragua, has been made public in full, but without comment. O'Brien Left $1,707,414. New York City—Appraisal of the estate of Marshal O'Brien, president of the Southern Express Company, who died on September 11, 1909, as filed by the state transfer tax appraiser, shows that he left an estate valued at $1,707,414. The Savannah Tribune. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. BARS POLITICS IN SPEECHES. Talt Is Trying To Be President of the Whole People. Portland, Maine—President Taft put himself on record as subscribing absolutely to the principle that a president of the United States should not talk politics. He landed at Rockland to make the last speech of his ten days' cruise. Maine is seething with politics just now. Tae elections are to be held September 12. Rockland is the home of ex-Governor William T. Cobb, who is a candidate for the United States senate to succeed Senator Hale, and is particularly interested in the campaign. Mr. Taft spoke to a large crowd from an automobile. He told of his appreciation of the welcome which had been accorded to his party, and then "drifted" closer to a political utterance than at any other time during his trip. The harbor at Rockland, the big granite breakwater and the ships behind it had brought ship subsidy to the president's mind. "They suggest to me," he said, "the importance of our coastwise shipping. They also suggest the importance of improving our foreign shipping. All of which brings me so near to politics that I merely suggest it and leave it with you." The president pused for a moment and then he apparently decided to take the demonstrative throng of listeners into his confidence. "You know," he said reflectively, "it is a little difficult when you are thinking politics and having a great deal to do with politics, to make fluent remarks without running against politics. "But traveling as I am, as president of the United States, I have no right to be other than president of the whole people or to stand on any platform except that of patriotism, love of country and prosperity for all." The president's sentiment called out a great cheer from the crowd. In view of the speaking trip which the president is scheduled to make in Ohio and other middle western states this fall, his statement of how far a chief magistrate of the nation should go in politics was fraught with particular interest. OHIO REPUBLICAN TICKET "Near" Victory for Inurgents in the Buckeye State. Columbus, Ohio—With a candidate for governor who was nominated by a combination of regulars and progressives and a platform pronounced good by the former element and 99 per cent good by the latter section of the party, the Ohio republican convention broke up and went home in a state of much contentment. Warren G. Harding, tue nominee for governor, was at various times in the preliminary squabbles of the convention described as "everybodys second choice." He is the editor of a newspaper at Marlon, Ohio; he has been lieutenant governor of the state and has been a tentative candidate for governor and United States senator. He is known in the state as an effective stump-speaker. The following ticket was nominated: For Governor—Warren G. Harding of Marion. For Lieutenant Governor—Francis W. Treadway of Cleveland. For Secretary of State—Granville W. Mooney of Austinburg. For Attorney General—U. Grant Denman of Toledo. For Treasurer of State—Rudy A. Archer of Belmont county. Biddeford Pool, Maine—Wireless telegraphy brought to President Taft the news of the nomination of Warren G. Harding as the republican candidate for governor of Ohio. Mr. Taft seemed delighted over the outcome in Ohio. He was still without information as to the convention or the phraseology of the platform, but seemed to take it for granted that everything would be harmonious. ACCUSED OF BRIBE-TAKING. Alleged That Members of Texas Legislature Were Bought. Austin, Texas—Campaign charges of irregularity in connection with the recent primary election, in addition to allegations that improper influences were brought to bear during the last regular session of the Texas legislature, will be alred before a special committee if a resolution adopted by the lower house of the state assembly is approved by the senate. The resolution, which is approximately 3,000 words in length, provides for an inquiry into charges made during the campaign preceding the recent primaries that members of the present legislature had been "corrupted" by liquor interests and that several of the candidates for state offices had secured their nomination by reason of money spent by the same interests. No names are mentioned. BATHING MADE COMPULSORY Aurora, III., Board of Health Tells Citizens to Take Weekly Baths. Aurora, III—Aurora residents, especially foreigners, are ordered in a list of rules just issued by the board of health, to take a bath once a week or be arrested. Copies of the orders are to be placed in all the boarding houses and homes of foreigners in Aurora. The rule fixing the number of baths that a man shall take is only one of fifteen or twenty issued. Women are told to scrub their floors once every week, sweep all carpets, air bedrooms and keep yards clean or be arrested. One rule says that only two shall be allowed to sleep in a bed. SAVANNAH, GA.. SATURDAY, JULY 30, 1910. Estimates Place the Condition at This Time at 75 Per Cent---Uncertain Reports Received From All Sections. New York City. At a meeting here of bankers who have been negotiating with railroad officials on the subject of foreign and domestic bills of lading a definite plan covering the future issue of through order notify bills of lading for cotton was adopted; It was decided to send a committee of five bankers to Europe immediately to lay the agreement before bankers of England and the continent. Foreign bankers decided at a conference in London to refuse to negotiate American cotton bills of lading after November first unless guaranteed by a banking institution. This stand was taken in view of the losses sustained abroad recently on bills of lading. It was hoped by the bankers in the conference the plan adopted will satisfy foreign financial institutions. This plan carries out the scheme outlined at a meeting of representatives of the railroads east of the Mississippi river held at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., on July 19. It provides for the issue by the railroads of a bill of lading signature certificate, which is to be attached to each bill of lading, whereby the railroad certifies the signature of the bill of lading covering the specific number of bales. In the case of through export bills when cotton is in the possession of the railroad company or upon the presentation of loading certificates by authorized agents of compressor ware house companies. The practice of issuing duplicate and triplicate bills of lading will be discontinued. Only one will be issued, but copies will be made subject to the endorsement: "copy, not negotiable." A copy of each bill of lading will be forwarded to the agent of the water carrier at the port of export on direct shipments, or the port of trans-shipment on direct shipments. Shippers will be required to accept the conditions of the bills of lading by attaching their signatures. Atlanta, Ga—The banks, cotton dealers and railroads of the south will not agree to the demands of the London bankers that through bills of lading for cotton be guaranteed by the American banks, declared G. A. Nicholson, president of the Southeastern Cotton Buyers' Association. He stated that they will go no further than to agree that southern banks, with assuming legal responsibilities, shall assume foreign bankers and cotton dealers that the bills of lading issued by the roads are genuine. *Memphis, Tenn*—The Commercial Appeal prints this summary of cotton crop conditions: The week gives mixed and ratter uncertain returns from the cotton fields. Considerable improvement, attendant upon dry weather, is shown in Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas, while northern Louisiana is rounding into a state of fair promise. The Carolinas and Georgia suffered from heavy rains early in the week, so that little cultivation was done on October, little Texas and Ohio, with little rain! are approaching a time when the crop may suffer. In fact, some loss has already been sustained in southern and southwestern Texas. In the central and eastern states the crop is being "laid by" in a rather poor condition, some of the fields still being very grassy. Ten days without rain would permit of a rather considerable improvement, but the crop has received much less work than it would have gotten under normal weather. The plant remains small and seems late. It has put on little fruit, and in many places has not begun to bloom freely. Estimates on condition seldom run higher than 75 per cent and are often below this. There are limited districts in all the valley and Atlantic states, however, that give a good account of the crop. Roof Garden For Cats. New York City—A roof garden for cats is the latest novelty in New York. It is being built as a part of the equipment of the Bide-a-Wee Home, where 150 cats are now being cared for. The al tresco addition will be completed by the end of the present week. Revolution Crushed. New Orleans, La—That the revolution which was detected in an incipient stage on the north coast of Spanish Honduras had been crushed, and that peace now reigns throughout the country, was the gist of a cablegram which President Miguel daVila sent to the Honduran consul at New Orleans. Many Negroes Victimized. Alexandria, Ala—Scores of negroes in this section have been victimized recently by a white man, who obtained the sum of $1 from each of them, "as a fee for having their names enrolled as ex-slaves in order to secure pensions." VETERANS NEED FUNDS. Friends of the South Are Urged By General Gordon to Make Up the Shortage. New Orleans, La—An appeal for the Jefferson Davis Home Association is made in an order by General Geo W. Gordon, commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, issued from the headquarters of the organization by General William E. Mickle, adjutant general and chief of staff. In part the order says: "The general commanding cannot but feel that, if the attention of officers of camps of the order were properly directed to the needs of the Jefferson Davis Home Association, the small indebtedness resting on the association would be paid in a very brief period. "According to the report of the treasurer presented at the Mobile reunion, the entire cost of the Davis home farm was $7,050. It would have been impossible for the association to pay this had not General Ibennett H Young, with his usual patriotism and liberality, advanced the amount. But through contributions sinuously made to the fund, the amount advanced has been reduced to $2,200, which it is most earnestly desired to settle speedily and in full. This should be done, not only should the money be paid to the generous courage who advanced it, but because till then there is a cloud on the purchase, which should make every Confederate who reverences the name of Jefferson Davis have a consciousness of snape that what may be called an indignity rests on his memory. "It should be the pleasure of every member of this glorious federation to be one of the contributors to this noble object, even though the amount given be small, and the general commanding indulges the hope that the simple announcement by him that there is a debt will result in a timely and generous response on the part of all." In another order General Gordon calls attention to the endorsement at the Mobile reunion of a resolution recently passed by the association of medical officers of the army and navy of the Confederacy proposing a monument in the city of Richmond to Surgeon General Samuel Preston Moore. General Gordon says: "The general commanding most earnestly and heartily commends two efforts to erect the monument to Surgeon General Moore. It will prove not only the honor in which we hold him and his medical and surgical corps, but will also prove of educational benefit in direct attention to other long-neglected departments of the Confederate government. It will also direct attention more particularly to the fact that the war between the states was conducted by the Confederate government on the highest plane of chivalry, humaneness and Christianity. GOLD COINS ROBBED. Coins Placed in Bag and Shaken Until Flakes Fall Off. New York City—Secret service agents who have been at work in the Malden Lane jewelry district have found a new sort of coin striping, by which gold is obtained from coins and sold, the coins being put back into circulation, apparently as good as ever. The new process consists in placing the cains in a burlap bag, which is shaken vigorously. Thus tiny flakes of metal are knocked off the coins and cling to the bag, which is then burned, the gold melting into wee ingots. The treasury department at Washington has been getting back of late large quantities of coins which seemed more scratched and battered than ordinarily. Under the microscope it became evident that these coins had been handled with strange violence. Special agents were sent here to investigate and soon uncovered the industry of shaking toe coins in burlap bags. BRYAN DEPOSED AS LEADER. Nebraska Democrates Against Bryan's Attitude on Liquor Question. Grand Rapids, Neb.—Nebraska democrats wrested the leadership of their state organization from William J. Bryan on the issue of county option. By decisive votes they registered their unbelief in his present policies after listening to an impassioned appeal from Mr. Bryan, who declared the liquor interests were in an organized attempt to secure political control of the state. The attitude of many of Mr. Bryan's former lieutenants toward him was evinced in the speeches of several who addressed, the convention after him. His reference to "assassins" in the party was frequently referred to and as each speaker denounced his present position, the cheers of the delegates showed that the appeal of Mr. Bryan had been ineffectual. COMFORTABLE IN CHURCH Men Allowed to Take Off Coats in a Chicago Church. Chicago, III—"As the day is so warm," said Rev. John A. Earl, in opening his sermon at the Belden Baptist Church, "we shall give the men the privilege of removing their coats so that they may make themselves as much at home as possible." One hundred men at once took advantage of the suggestion made by the minister and doffed their coats, for the thermometer at that hour was around 100 degrees in the shade. The minister stated that he will continue the privilege whenever a Sunday is so hot that the men in the pews suffer. IMMIGRANTS TURNING TO THE SOUTHLAND Enormous Movement of People to the Southern States. MANY COLONISTS FROM CANADA A Widespread Campaign of Education in Regard to Cheap and Fertile Lands of South Has Lead to Southward Immigration. Washington, D. C.—A returning tide of America and immigrants from Canada and indications of an enormous movement of people from the northwest, including western Canada, to the southeastern states next fall and winter are attracting the close attention of immigration and industrial authorities. The bureau of immigration officials are now awaiting an early report from Commissioner Clark at Montreal, before discussing the impending influx. Industrial experts say the movement to the southeastern states will begin next October. A record-breaking migration in this direction occurred last year, drawing upon the population of the central states, especially Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska. Many of these people went to southern Georgia and Florida and southern Alabama. Reports of a number of colonizing companies have been investigating available-large tracts in various portions of the gulf states during the past few months. A recent report showed that since last May about 50,000 acres of land in southern Alabama had either been purchased or was about to be obtained for northwestern farms and corporations for locating settlers. Large tracts also have been taken in southern Georgia and northern Florida since the first of the year to be divided into farms for northern settlers. Another achievement is that of a colony of Slovaks from western Pennsylvania to southern Alabama. In northeast Georgia there has been started the nucleus of a colony from northwest Canada. Individual farmers from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are buying improved as well as wild lands in Virginia, the Carolinas, Tennessee and northern Alabama. German and Mennonite settlers are seeking homes in districts in the more northern portions of the southeast section of the country. The initiation of the campaign of eleven to the character and low prices of ready good southern lands, as compared with lands in the lower portions of the country and the big yields of wheat, corn and other crops and corresponding profits reported in many southern districts, have led to the southward migration. The associations of growers in the orchard and truck districts have called attention to the possibilities in fruit and general garden truck culture. WOMEN TYPIST NOT WANTED Government Prefers Men Stenographers, Who Will Obey Orders. Washington, D. C.—Women stenographers apparently are no longer wanted in the government service. This announcement was made at the civil service commission in an effort to put a stop to a flood of letters from women throughout the country who wanted information about a recent examination for stenographers. This examination was for the purpose of recruiting only men stenographers and typists. Practically all the various departments of the government are seeking to replace women stenographers with men, because the latter are more amenable to discipline Telephones at South Pole. London, England—Captain Scott's Antarctic expedition will be able to telephone to their ship whea they are marching towards the south pole. The expedition is taking a telephone equipment specially suited for low temperatures. No insulators will be necessary, as ice and snow are non-conductors, and the wires will simply be laid on the ice a certain distance apart, probably about six feet. The explorers will be able to speak to the party left aboard the "Terra Nova" up to a distance of 26 miles. Library for the Blind. Montgomery, Ala.-Preparation Is being made at the state history department for the establishment of the first traveling library for the blind in the south. One hundred books from the state blind schools at Talladega came in and are being arranged for distribution. These books are carried in the mails free. Frye Not to Retire. Lewiston, Maine.—The family of Senator William P. Frye stated that there was no truth in a published report that the senator 'intended to retire because of ill health. Women to Fly. New York City—American women who long to experience the thrills of an aeroplane flight will soon have an opportunity to gratify their desire. Three of the smallest, prettiest and speediest monoplanes in existence are now on their way to this country with three French women to demonstrate them. The aeroplanes weigh only 180 pounds each and are equipped with 12 horsepower engines. NO. 45. SOUTH RAISING FOOD. Attanta, Ga.—With 26,277,000 acres planted in corn this year, being an increase of 1,535,000 over 1909 and 2,776,000 acres over 1908, the farmers of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi are furnishing very substantial proof of the fact that the south is constantly devoting more attention to raising its own food supplies. These figures are from the last report of the bureau of statistics of the United States department of agriculture. The acreage in corn for the two years in these states is shown in the following table: STATES. 1909. 1910. Virginia. 2,040,000 2,142,000 North Carolina. 2,898,000 3,072,000 South Carolina. 2,218,000 2,418,000 Georgia. 4,400,000 4,532,000 Kentucky. 3,568,000 3,639,000 Tennessee. 3,575,000 3,718,000 Alabama. 3,235,000 3,524,000 Mississippi. 3,810,000 3,232,000 Total . . . 24,742,800 26,277,000 The table shows that each state showed an increase over 1909 in 1910. The condition of this year's crop as reported by the department shows the states of the south leading the country, Mississippi being first, Alabama second and Georgia third. This great increase in the acreage devoted to corn is considered one of the most hopeful signs in the south today. In a letter to the directors of the Southern Railway company, President Finley called particular attention to these figures and said: The increase in the acreage of corn, accompanied, as it is, by a quite general adoption of improved cultural methods, is one of the most encouraging features of southern agricultural progress. It is one of the results of a general movement throughout the south in the direction of diversified agriculture—a movement which we are endeavoring to encourage and assist as tar as we can, properly do so." As the farmers of the south increase their yield of corn, they will save enormous sums which they have been spending in the west for food products and will consequently themselves realize more from cotton and other market crops. Economic authorities agree in declaring the American corn crop the basis of the country's prosperity since in such a large measure the production of other crops as well as the pary supply depends upon it and a greater yield of corn in the south consequently means a greater share of prosperity for this section. SOUTHERN WOMAN ARRESTED Mrs. Anna Wilson Accused of Burglary in "New York City. New York City—Boasting in the moments when her mind is cleared from the effects of drugs that she belongs to a prominent southern family, a handsome and distinguished-looking woman, who gives the name of Mrs. Anna Wilson, is held a prisoner by the police declared to be a veritable "Raffles."" Mrs. Wilson, according to the police, is addicted to the use of morphine and has been in the habit of doing her expert bits of cracksmanship when slightly under the influence of the drug. She is said to be the wife of a Colonel Wilson, a man considerably older than she and apparently a southerner. Tae woman was arrested at her apartments on East Nineteenth street, after the apartment of a neighbor, Miss Elizabeth King, had been broken into. The front door had been "jimmied" open with the utmost expertise and some $500 worth of jewelry and expensive clothing stolen. KING'S OATH CHANGED. Slap at Catholics in English Oath is Eliminated. London, England.—The king's ascension declaration bill in an amended form passed its second reading in the house of commons by a vote of 410 to 84. The bill as it now stances provides that the pronouncement Catholicism shall be eliminated and the clause "and declare that. I am a faithful Protestant" substituted. The nonconformists showed strong opposition to the original substituting clause, which read "and declare that I am a faithful member of the Protestant Church as by law established in England," and the premier finally accepted their amendment. It is believed that all the difficulties have now been removed and that the bill will survive the committee stage and be accepted by the house of lords without further trouble. During the discussion in the commons, several anti-Catholic societies gathered near the parliament and a number of "no popery" placards were displayed. Texas Elects Governor. Dallas, Texas—Oscar B. Colquitt, anti-prohibitionist, and anti-submissionist, will be the next governor of Texas. The proposition to submit to popular vote a constitutional amendment looking to prohibition carried. Mr. Colquitt is placed in the embarrassing position of being an anti-prohibition candidate on a prohibition platform. Brownsville's Population. Washington, D. C.—Census returns issued show that Brownsville, the southernmost city in Texas, increased its population 68.3 per cent in the last ten years. Its population is now 10,517, as compared with 6,305 in 1900. Largest Sick and Death Benefits; Smallest Premiums.

Begin now to arrange for next year's report. The sooner the better. Supreme Opportunity In Canada they call a subordinate lodge a "private" lodge. Many a Mason when prompted to retdeem his promise to "improve himself in Masonry, will assume that "tired feeling."

OGEECHEETON MASONIG FRIENDSHIP. Ours is more than a mere selfish and mercenary friendship—more than the flattering shadow that follows sunshine of wealth and fame; more than the beautiful semblance of a substance which cynics have, derided and misantaropes have spurned.

NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. New York, July 25.—Colonel Theodore Roosevelt has accepted the invitation of President Booker T. Washington to speak at the coming meeting of the National Negro Business 13 BAY STREET, EAST. League to be held in New York City at, the Palm Garden, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Agust 17th, 18th and 19th. Colonel Roosevelt's address should easily prove one of the chief attractions of this coming meeting. In addition to Colonel Roosevelt himself, addresses will be made by some of the most successful Negro business men and women throughout the country. The present program as it is being formulated promises to be as interesting as any of the previous programs of this valued organization. Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post, Mayor William J. Gaynor, Borough President McAnemy, and a number of responsible New York business man, will also be present and speak. The social features being arranged by the New York Negro Business League are unusually attractive. Delegates intending to be present are urged to send early notice of sch intention to Mr. B. F. Thomas, chairman reception committee, 213 West Fifty-third street, New York City, or to Mr. Fred R. Moore, chairman committee of arrangements, 247 West Forty-sixth street, New York City. CATHOLIC PRIEST BUMPS HYPOCRITES. Down in Plaucheville, La., a short time ago a prejudiced "white" Catholic committee called upon their pastor, Rev. C. Biahic, to request that Afro-Americans be given a potion of the church, a separate portion of the communion table and a separate portion of the cemetery. The priest absolutely refused to do any such foolish thing and took offense at the atcion of the committee, preaching a sermon the following Sunday in which those who took part in the movement were termed hypocrites and meddlers. Good! Father Biahic said that the next time such a committee should call upon him he would walk out of the chrch and turn over his house to them. Bishop Van de Ven, in whose diocese Plaucheville is located, who was in the city a few days, the guest of Rev. Father J. F. Prim, was spoken to upon the subject. He said that he knew that a great deal of trouble was due to the fact that the "whites" are anxious to drive Afro-Americans out of the church, and this, of course, no pastor would countenance. "I advised the 'white' Catholics," Bishop Van de Ven said, "some time ago that the colored people must have the rights in the Catholic church to which they are entitled. They must not be driven from the church."—Advocate. Chivalrous men think nothing of sparing women the trouble of voting, even though they are not appreciative of man's unselfishness. NOTICE. Atlanta, Ga., April 1, 1910. Some time last fall one D. L.

BULL AGAINST MR. BEAR ASSIGNED BY THE MISS. WOLF OF NEW YORK, AND LONDON Cartoon by W. A. Rogers, in the New York Herald. Conditions Sound, is United Verdict of Business Men Interviews Gathered Here and Abroad Reflect Assurance That Stock Market Manipulation Cannot Halt Wave of Progress. POSTMASTER-GENERAL POINTS TO GREAT GROWTH OF POSTAL BUSINESS FILL STORAGE HOUSES WITH BUTTER AND EGGS ter Such Quantities Laid by For Future Use at This Time of the Year— Interest and Expenses Pilling Up—Big Charges For Users to Meet Next Winter Promise, the Highest of Prices. New York City.—Emphasizing the basic soundness of the prosperity of the United States, despite the depression of stock prices through artificial courses, the Herald prints interviews with leading bankers and business men of the country. In a special cable from Carlsbad Jules S. Bache expresses the belief that the recent market depression was caused by "disappointed railroad veterans" as a protest against the new railroad law. Henry G. Ickelheimer agrees with Mr. Bache that intrinsic values have been enhanced rather than depressed, and John F. Carroll joins Mr. Bache looking forward, for results that will benefit the country. Postmaster-General Hitchcock sees in the reduction of the deficit of the Postoffice Department to the extent of $10,000,000, involving an immensely increased volume of postal business, an indisputable evidence of the fundamental strength of the nation's finances. He also points optimistically to the hopeful outlook and bountiful crops in the West and Northwest. New York City.—Butter and eggs are now stored in the warehouses of New York and vicinity in greater quantities than ever before at this time of year. Last year's figures on storage and prices made high records up to that time, but they are exceeded by the totals of the present month. Butter is now higher than it has been in July of any other year since the Civil War times. The figures were contained in a report completed from twenty-nine of the thirty-two food warehouses in the metropolitan district. This report shows that 2,234,000 cases, each containing thirty dozens of eggs, are now in storage, while a year ago the total was 1,911,000 cases. Never before has the total in these warehouses exceeded 2,000,000 cases in July. Receipts of eggs have not been greatly in excess of those of last year, so some of the dealers infer that a speculative movement has something to do with the conditions. The receipts for the last two months have been 2,417,000 cases, while in the same two months of last year 2,300,-000 cases were received. The storage of eggs began in April. The best grades of eggs going into storage are quoted at twenty-three cents a dozen in car lots. They are Western eggs, and two years ago similar grades were sold at eighteen cents. Fresh Eastern eggs, which are now quoted at twenty-four to twenty-seven cents a dozen in the wholesale markets, were sold for twenty-five cents a year ago. All the egg prices will be increased, the dealers say, by the warehouse expenses, interest charges and profit when the eggs are taken from the warehouses for consumption next fall and winter. The total amount of butter now in storage in the metropolitan district warehouses is placed at $3,820,000 pounds. A year ago the total was 23,788,000 pounds. The receipts of butter in the last two months have amounted to 570,000 tubs of sixty pounds each; last year's total receipts in the two months was 520,000 tubs. The best grades of butter, called "specials," were quoted at twenty-nine and a quarter cents wholesale, which is two and three-quarter cents a pound more than a year ago. West Paris, Me.—Harold Webster and Archie Snow, of West Paris, aged seventeen and eighteen respectively, have earned $126 picking wild berries. Snow declares he will use his share of the money to help pay for a college course. This has been an unusually favorable season for berries and they are abundant and of large size. The boys sold the fruit to near by summer resorts and became very popular with the large number of vacationists. One of the mostdesperate attempts on record to influence the stock market was perpetrated by the publication in a malicious report, from an apparently authenticated source, that Germany had repudiated the Monroe Doctrine and intended to do as she pleased in South and Central American affairs. Fortunately, the absolute falsity of the report was so speedily and so authoritatively exposed that but little damage was done, but it is quite possible that the Federal authorities will proceed against those responsible for this last rash and stop-at-nothing effort at stock jobbing, with its mischievous possibility of stirring up enmity between two friendly nations. Washington bankers believe that the temporary depression of securities is due to a misinterpretation of the Government's attitude toward the railroads. Western capitalists declare that crop prospects, even with a possible wheat shortage, are most encouraging. Paul Morton's opinion that this is no longer a one crop, country has found wide approval. The phenomenon of increased quantities of butter and eggs in storage with higher prices in the market is causing much talk among the wholesale dealers on the west side. The explanation offered by some of their number is that Western packing companies made contracts earlier in the year to take the butter and eggs from the farmers at high prices, and so they were compelled to maintain prices to protect themselves from losses. If the current receipts of the products were now offered for immediate consumption prices would drop, and so most of the eggs and butter coming here of late has gone into storage. One of the wholesale dealers said that the packing companies may also have as an object in keeping up prices of butter that people may get the habit of using oleomargarine as a substitute. While butter was at its highest retail prices last winter much more oleomargarine was sold than ever before in this country. Dealers said that they do not see any reason for expecting a reduction this year in the cost of living in the items of butter and eggs. STATE FAIRS IN. 1010. Iowa—Des Moines, August 25-September 2.

Mr. Editor: Please allow me space in this week's issue of your paper to thank our neighbors and friends for their kindness and attention to my wife during her long illness.

The sympathy of the press goes out to the bereaved family. A CALL has been issued for a meeting of colored Americans at Atlantic City, August 4th, to consider equal rights question. It is said that representative race leaders will be present. The call is signed by Bishop A. Walters. A good resolution for August is to patronize colored business enterprises as much and as often as you can. If you can not give all of your trade to colored business men, give whatever you can. WHEN the agitation was first begun against the moving picture of the Johnson-Jeffries fight, we surmised that the main objection was that of race. In this we have been justified by the action of the Georgia legislature in simply prohibiting the showing of pictures where the races are concerned. THERE is one fault with a certain calibre of our people and that is they will not stick to any one thing long enough to gain the required result nor will they stick to a question under consideration. In the latter they are bound to bring in thoughts that are entirely foreign in order to cloud the main question. The Ministers' Evangelical Union is composed of some of the most prominent ministers of the city. Each member is a friend of THE TRIBUNE and we appreciate their friendship and support. Occasionally the Union proves its appreciation by sending us a donation. The last one was received and we extend to the followers of the lonely Nazarene our thanks. The Negroes can learn a very good lesson on forging ahead from the example of the Greeks. In many cases these people come to our country in poverty and want but by sticking together, it is only a short time before they are on "easy street." They are not only engaged in the fruit business, but are branching out in almost all forms of business. When there is a spirit of union among the Negroes, no power on earth will be able to stop their onward march. A few years ago, the city authorities broke up the houses of vice located on the West side. It is reported that houses of such character are again in full blast on the West side, and that the worst part about it is that the houses are sandwiched in between the homes of some of our good people. Cases of mistaken identity have been reported. This matter should receive the prompt attention of our city authorities. ON account of the falling off in membership of the Knights of Pythias in this State, some of those who are opposed to the present administration are attempting to make capital of it and blaming those in charge for the same. The thoughtful ones will not make a charge, of that kind. It is known that the real cause of the reduced membership is the law enacted last year, and which aimed directly against the colored K. of P. In many places in the interior the members were afraid to attend meetings on account of the law, thus loosing their membership. Here is where the cause can be found. Do not blame Grand Chancellor Creswill and his efficient co-workers for it. In fact the time is now for every loyal knight to pull together despite of feeling. All of us can not carry our ideas through. If we should fail then fall in magnanimously with the majority. The colored knights will be here many years to come despite the knocks that are given the order by some of those within. ONE of the Charges laid at the door of the Negro in Chatham County is that he does not pay his poll tax. There are ever 7,000 Negro men in this county, but only 526 are registered. However if all should register, we suppose some sure enough disfranchise- ment bill would be passed. We get it going and coming. Berean Association Berean Association The Berean Association met at Montieth, Ga., July 21-24, with the members of White Oak Baptist Church, Rev. J. S. Moody, pastor. Rev. Wm. Gray D.

Dr. Gray handled the association with credit and to the delight of all. Revs. J WEdward, J R Maxwell, D Wright and L L Blair preached to the edification of their hearers. Rev. J T Thomas preached the ordination sermon. Sunday the pulpit was graced with Rev. D D Mills, who preached the Missionary sermon to a large crowd and satisfied the people. Rev. McD Spencer D D was selected to preach for the Woman's Auxiliary on Sunday at 11 a.m. at the school house. It was made evident that he is a great preacher from the way he handled his subject. Mrs. Mills the president of the Woman's Auxiliary made things quite lively, she being a great worker among her members. All of her clubs reported favorable. An assurance of $260 was raised for the support of the Berean Baptist Academy. The member and citizens of Montieth, gave the delegates all that could be hoped for. The table was prepared three times a day for all. Too much praise can't be given to those people for their hospitality. Ministers Union. The Evangelical Ministers Union met with Dr. L A Townsley in the chair. Devotional service was conducted by Dr, P W Greatheart. "Oh for a heart to praise my 'God' was sung.

J S Jenkins was elected to deliver the welcome address in behalf of the Evangelical Minister's Union. Come out next Tuesday, visitors always welcome. Dr. P W Greatheart, Revs. J S Jenkins, R J Jefferson and L. B Shellman were appointed to draw up a resolution touching the death of the Rt. Rev. E W Lampton. D D. Bishop of the A M E Church. Resolution as follows: We the ministers of the Evangelical Union of Savannah, Ga., chronicle with sadness the death of Bishop E W Lampton, D D, the Presiding Bishop of the eighth Episcopal district, including Mississippi and Louisiana, pray God's blessing upon his daughters left behind. We commend them to God who careth for them all. The A M E Church lost a great and useful minister, the daughters a faithful father, the state a progressive citizen. We extend them our deepest sympathy and prayer. We bow in humble submission to the Allwise Providence who is too wise to err and too gracious to afflict the least of His children. We recommend that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the A M E Church organ and to the immediate family. Committee: Rev. R J Jefferson, Dr P W Greatheart, secretary; Rev. J S Jenkins, Rev.

We are compell to build so as to accommodate our congregation. Every Gleaner that is out will be called for at the rally and each member will be expected to come clear of the obligation by paying. This will please the pastor. A Defense Mr. Editor: In October 1908 there appeared in an issue of the Savannah Triune a notice of my suspension from the Grand Court of Galanthe by order of Grand Worthy Counsellor and Grand Register of Deeds. L. B. Maxwell Court suspended me a few weeks prior to that time for not meeting a committee. A member of a committee, illegally and irregularly appointed had taken a message for me to attend a meeting. I was out of the city, the same member saw me later and gave me a message to call a meeting, I did not call it, whereupon, I was suspended. L. B. Maxwell Court was sent several communications. The secretary refused to read any before the society. I afterwards appealed to the Grand Worthy Counsellor twice in person and twice by letter during recess of Grand Court. She refused to answer. I then sent an appeal to Grand Court in session. It was not acted upon, I thereupon appealed to the Supreme Worthy Counsellor. I was ignored. I have received no answer from any source up to date, showing a diabolical plot among them to wrest from me the rights given me by the Constitution of the U. S. and slander me. My efforts to enforce law irrespective of persons and desire to keep the finances of the Court in a proper condition after finding the Secretary guilty of making out orders for money not due collecting and keeping same. The Register of Accounts and Receiver of Deposits guilty of receiving money for and not paying it to the Court and the refusal by all of them to pay what was due being followed by an exposure to the Court of the matters has been the main cause of this enmity. all of which can be testified to by members of the Court. The L B Maxwell Court has no authority to handle me for any reason because I was Worthy Counsellor at the time. My appeal to each Court has been in vain. STOP Paying Rent.

Reid of Norfolk, Va., which took place at the Midway Presbyterian Church, at Arcadia, in Liberty County, Wednesday evening of last week. Rev. S. T. Redd performed the ceremony, assisted by Rev. Pennington of Arcadia. The church was beautifully decorated with vines, natural moss and ferns. The bride met the groom at the altar under a beautiful arch studded with lights. The only attendant was Miss Mamie Castle, cousin of the bride, maid of honor and Mr. W. H. Holmes who was best man. The bride wore a beautiful princess dress entrain of souzine silk, trimmed in point lace and net. The long veil of tulle was held in place with orange blossoms was her only ornament. Miss Castle wore a tunic dress of soft albatross and applique, both bride and maid carried beautiful bouquets. Mr. and Mrs. Reid are at home to their friends at 510 East Huntingdon street. Many handsome and useful presents show the esteem in which the couple is held. The great mortality of the colored people is undoubtedly largely caused by the unsanitary surroundings in which they live. Crowded and hived in lanes and shanties, how can they prosper physically, mentally or morally? The hope of progress for the race lies in getting away from cramped, crowed, miasmatic depressing surroundings and into bright, cheerful, roomy and healthful homes. Give yourself a chance. Come and see me and I will show you how, and help you to do it. I have built many modern homes for colored people. With a little effort on your part, I will build one for you.

Harris, which occurred at 4 o'clock Sunday morning. Mrs. Harris assisted in the arrangements for her husband's funeral and before its culmination, she too was cold beside him in death. The funeral of the former took place from the Second Baptist Church Sunday afternoon. The services were conducted by Rev. J. H. Rogers. The funeral of Mrs. Harris took place from the same church Tuesday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Harris were well known. And beside the relatives, there are many sorrow-friends who regret their death. Mrs. Laura L. Low, widow of the late Robert A. Low and mother of Mrs. L. S. Clark of Athens, Ga., and Dr. P. A. Low, died Sunday morning last. The funeral was held at the St. Stephen's Episcopal Church of which the deceased was one of its founders and a devoted and faithful member, Monday afternoon. The services were impressive and very largely attended by relatives and a host of sorrowing friends. Prof. and Mrs. L. S. Clark and Dr. P. A. Low were among the relatives who were not of this city. In Laural Grove Cemetery beside the body of her beloved husband whom she loved in life and with whom she wished to be united after death, all that was mortal of this beautiful character and loving and devoted mother was laid to rest. Sunday night all that was mortal of Mr. Thomas B. Burke, was called to rest after an illness of about two weeks. Mr. Burke was up to that time, apparently in good health and was a fine specimen of a man. He was generally liked by everybody. For years he was a barber for Mr. Jaugstetter, on Whitaker St. Mr. Burke was a native of Bainbridge, Ga., but has been living here a number of years. The funeral took place Thursday afternoon from his late residence West Gaston street, and was largely attended. "The services were conducted by Rev. W. L. Cash. The deceased is survived by a loving wife, Mrs. Lula Habersham Burke, and many relatives." Two of his brothers attended the funeral. The friends of the family extend them condolence. MB3. MAGGIE CLAYTON. The funeral of Mrs. Clayton took place Monday morning from her late residence, East Anderson street. She died in North Carolina at the home of her daughter and the remains were brought to the city Monday night. The services were conducted by Rev. M. W. Weston. Two daughters and three sons, and other relatives survive her. MRS. JULIA SANSAY. Mrs. Sansay, mother of Mrs. Lelia Jenkins, died Monday night. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon from Beth-Eden Baptist Church of which she was one of the founders. It was well attended by friends of the family, who extend to them their sympathy. Mrs. Sarah Mongin, one of the oldest citizens of Dittmersville, died Monday of last week at 7 p.m. She was a loving mother and bore her sickness with christian fortitude. She was about 75 years old, and a consistent member of the A. M. E. Church. She was the mother of Mrs. Lucy Benjamin, Messrs. Edward and Robert Mongin. She leaves two grand children, Miss Essie L. Spaulding and Mr. William Spaulding and other relatives to mourn her death. She was buried from the A. M. E. Church Wednesday afternoon. A Social Event On Wednesday night last at 8 o'clock, one of Savannah's most popular young ladies, Miss Willie Emma Adelphia Brown, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. D Brown, was joined in holy wedlock to Mr. William H Blair, a young man highly respected and esteemed by those who know him, by Rev. W L Cash at the First Congregational Church. The young lady was given away by her father, Mr. E D Brown; the church was taxed to its capacity by white and colored friends of the couple, while hundreds peered through the windows from the streets to see the most unique marriage that has been in the city for a long time. Mrs. Clautelle B Lewis played the wedding music as only one fully accomplished in that science could do. The bride was most beautifully gowned in a princess made of baby Irish lace trimmed with white satin ribbon; she wore a tulle veil with orange blossoms and carried lilies of the valley and marshallneil roses in a shower bouquet; the bridesmaid Miss Mattie Brown wore a beautiful princess gown made of white plato silk and carried a bouquet of marshallneil roses and maldenhair ferns.

Pink- ram's Vegetable Compound Baltimore, Md. — "For four years my life was a misery to me. I suffered from irregularities, terrible dragging sensations, extreme nervousness, and that all gone feeling in my stomach. I had given up hope of being when I began to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Then I felt as though new life had been from life ties, terrible dragging sensations, extreme nervous ness, and that all gone feeling in my stomach. I had given up hope of ever being well when I began to take Lydia E.Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound.

AMERICAN VICTORY IN GERMANY Prosecutor Finds Oil Company Has Committed No Wrong. Berlin, Germany.—The long and venomous campaign waged by German newspapers and rival industrial interests against one of the German branches of the Standard Oil Company—the Deutsche Vacuum Oil Company—has just been brought to a victorious end for the Americans involved. A well known Hamburg newspaper for months printed such a series of attacks on the "American graft methods" alleged to have been practiced by the vacuum company in the conduct of its German business that the public prosecutor of Hamburg felt constrained to make an official investigation with a view to eventual indictments. The prosecutor has now concluded his investigation, especially of the work of E. L. Quarles, American manager of the German company's sales department, and announces that no necessity exists for pursuing the inquiry further. No evidence of anything warranting prosecution was found against Mr. Quarles, and the costs of the entire inquiry will be borne by the state. The result of the investigation constitutes a notable triumph for American interests in Germany. It is not the first time that Germans finding themselves unable to compete with Americans on ordinary terms have resorted to slander. Begard for' Others' Opinions. Good men who are more interested in getting together on a working basis than in having their own way can find a better way than any one of them would have discovered alone. Much of the wheel-clogging disagreement among workers in any cause is due to emphasis upon one's own opinions, and too little regard for the opinions of others. It is all well enough for us to be positively in favor of our own opinions, but it might be an encouragement to our co-workers and a lubricant to the wheels of progress if we were now and then positively in favor of other folks' opinions. If co-operative work is to be done at all, the sooner men find out what they can do heartily together, and forget what each one would prefer to do if alone in the work, the better it will be for that enterprise. —Sunday-School Times.

Two cups or one pint of sifted flour, three level teaspoonful baking powder, one-half teaspoonful salt, two level tablespoonfuls sugar, four level tablespoonfuls cocoa two level tablespoonfuls butter or lard, two-thirds cup milk or enough to make a firm but not stiff dough. Sift all the dry ingredients together, rub in the butter with the tips of the fingers, stir in the required amount of milk, turn out on slightly floured board, roll or pat out the desired thickness, place close together in pan and bake in very hot oven ten or fifteen minutes. —Boston Post. Dropped Cookies. One egg, one cup sugar, one-half cup shortening, one cup milk (if sour use one teaspoon soda; if sweet is used, use two tablespoons baking powder) and flour to mix stiff, but not as stiff as for doughnuts; one-half cup raisins, one-half cup currants, one-half cup nut meats, one-half cup chopped citron; drop by the tablespoon, not too near together, into a well buttered dripping pan and bake a tender brown—use half the mixture this way, then to the remainder add one teaspoon cinnamon; and one teaspoon of nutmeg and one-half teaspoon cloves. Saves lots of work by not rolling out and looks so nice. If they run together cut into squares before taking from $ ^{9} $ pan.—Frances Jeilnah in the Boston Post. Two Desserts From Apple Jelly. Soak one envelope gelatine in one cupful cold water two minutes. Pare, core, cut into small pieces twelve apples, and cook them in three cupfuls water until soft; then turn into a colander over dish and let stand till you have three cupfuls of apple juice. Pour this onto gelatine-together with juice of two lemons and about one cupful of sugar. Stir well and place in mould. This makes one dessert with whipped cream or a custard. For the Second Dessert—Rub the apples remaining in the colander through; add one-half cupful sugar, cinnamon, two drops lemon juice and one egg well beaten. Place in a buttered pudding dish and bake twenty minutes. Serve warm with milk or cream, and the jelly will keep till next day.—Mrs. E. H. Fish, in the Boston Post. Cream Jelly Cake. Two cups sugar, one cup butter, three cups flour, one-half cup milk, four eggs, one and a half teaspoonfuls baking powder or one teaspoonful cream of tartar, one-half teaspoonful soda. Cream butter and sugar together, sift cream of tartar with soda into flour, add one-half the flour, one-half the milk and two of the unbeaten eggs to sugar and butter and beat well together, then add rest of flour, milk with the other two unbeaten eggs, and stir thoroughly together; bake in three tins to make three layers. Lemon jelly for filling is made as follows: Grate rind of two lamons, add it with the juice to one cup sugar, one cup butter, yolk of three eggs, place in double boiler, stir quickly until it jells, when cold spread between layers of cake. Frost to suit cream—Boston Post. HOUSEHOLD HINTS Curtains of undressed scrim, with a hem and a narrow lace edge, are popular for cottage use. No flower should be kept in a house after it has lost its freshness. A stale bouquet hints too strongly of decay and death. It is said that if common table salt is added to gasoline, spots can be cleaned on silks and other delicate fabrics without leaving a ring. A much more wholesome sweet for children than anything which can be bought is home made toffee—made only of butter, sugar and lemon juice. Beware of matches in the nursery. Little children often suck them, and may easily poison themselves in this way, even if they do not set their clothes alight. All stains from strawberries, blackberries, etc., may be quickly removed by wetting the hands in cold water, and after lighting a match let the fumes pass through the fingers. Very badly tarnished brass or copper that will not brighten with ordinary polish may be easily cleaned as follows: Dip a piece of cloth into ammonia, then rub it over a piece of soap; wipe the article with it; rinse off immediately and then use a fine sand soap, powder or other brass polish. Flatirons if not properly cared for when put away will become rusty, especially if kept where dampness exists. If this should occur you will find that there is no better way to clean them than to wash them first in strong washing soda water and then rub them hard on a board on which some sort of polishing sand has been generously sprinkled. Emery dust is splendid for this. When finished the irons will look and feel like new. You Look Prematurely Old Because of those ugly, grizzly, gray hairs. Use "LA CREOLE" HAIR RESTORER.

A Philadelphia man who finds much amusement in playing ragtime melodies on the piano, received a rude shock one evening recently at the hands of his daughter, a sweet little miss of some fourteen years. It was warm and the house was wide open when the foud parent sat down at the piano and began "pawing the ivories" with unusual ardor. While he was playing, his daughter came into the room with a companion. "Daddy, stop playing," she said. Somewhat surprised, the father wanted to know why he should cease entertaining himself. The little girl was not inclined to explain. Finally she said, "Why, the neighbors have a lot of company." "Is that all?" commented daddy, with fine soorn. "Well, if they don't like my playing they can close their windows," and he attacked the piano with renewed vigor. "Yes, but daddy," pleaded the daughter, as she gilded over to her parent and put her arm around his neck, "they'll think it was I playing." That settled it. He stopped—Buffalo Commercial.

In a railroad office in West Philadelphia there is an old and trusted clerk of Celtic extraction who keeps his associates in a constant state of good humor by an unending series of witticisms, interspersed with bulls so glaring that even he himself has to join in the laugh that invariably follows such a break on his part. There was some trouble on the telephone one day recently and Mike, as he is called among his friends, lost much of his usual good nature in his efforts to get the gist of a message that was being sent from another office. The man on the other end of the wire finally became exasperated and asked Mike if he was losing his hearing. "I can hear you all right until you begin to talk," said Mike, "and then I can't understand a word you say." —Philadelphia Times. Smoking and Big Hats. For instance, take smoking—and, of course, splitting. What could be a more unsanitary, disgusting and filthy habit. Delicate women are constantly called upon to suffer in silence in public places because it is man's pleasure to smoke. Now, then, if it is woman's pleasure to wear large hats for a few short seasons, should man protest? Large hats improve the appearance of most women, and women, as a whole, are careful enough to see that "their long and dangerous hatpins" are in their hats properly. As women are naturally sympathetic and solicitous for the comfort of others, it is only an exceedingly small proportion who would be so careless as to permit their hatpins to protrude enough to inflict injury.—A Woman in New York Times. Epidemio of Itch in Welsh Village "In Dowlais, South Wales, about fifteen years ago, families were stricken wholesale by a disease known as the ifch. Believe me, it is the most terrible disease of its kind that I know of, as it itches all through your body and makes your life an inferno. Sleep is out of the question and you feel as if a million mosquitoes were attacking you at the same time. I knew a dozen families that were so affected. "The doctors did their best, but their remedies were of no avail whatever. Then the families tried a druggist who was noted far and wide for his remarkable cures. People came to him from all parts of the country for treatment, but his medicine made matters still worse; as a last resort they were advised by a friend to use the Cutlouria Remedies. I am glad to tell you that after a few days' treatment-with Cutlouria Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, the effect was wonderful and the result was a perfect cure in all cases. "I may add that my three brothers, three sisters, myself and all our families have been users of the Cutlouria Remedies for fifteen years.

Adding Arabble Lands The area of tillable lands in the United States not yet turned to cultivation is comparatively small, and with the present heavy demands for land, it is only the part of good judgment that the dry farming districts be investigated by those who contemplate getting a home under the free homestead laws. By the successful use of scientific soil culture methods, no less than 300,000,000 acres of arable land can be added to the nation's agricultural wealth. Mrs. Mary A.

Rotting potatoes in Maine. and New Brunswick, with the farmers destroying thousands of barrels because of the low prices to the producer. Here the consumer can pay anywhere from $1.00 to $1.50 a bushel. Rotten potatoes on the farms; something rottener in Denmark. Those who control our markets to gouge high prices out of the consumer won't bring in potatoes when they can get them cheap. Some day our American consumers will generate wits and spunk enough to form co-operative societies, such as there are all over Great Britain, to go out and buy natural products wherever they are in supply, as the potatoes of Maine and New Brunswick now are, transport them to the centers of population and distribute them to the consuming members of the co-operative societies at low prices. Oh, shucks! what's the matter with us Yankees?—New York Press. Sitting in an easy chair, Reading old romances. Where the men are brave to dare For my lady's glances.

"Yes, we are pretty comfortably fixed here," admitted a veteran employee in the reading room of the Congressional Library, when a visitor envied him his soft berth and comfortable surroundings. "But there's one thing we long for, yes, thirst for with a burning thirst. That's noise, a real, nerve-racking, ear-splitting noise. The long hours of soft silence, the dead stillness of everything about grows so oppressive that at times we could shriek out. We get into a sort of sick-room tiptoe and a low tone of voice that finally degenerates into a whisper even at the telephone. Give us an occasional battery of artillery or a roaring lion or a steam calliope. Even a squalling baby would help some.—Washington Star. Real Reading. In anything fit to be called by the name of reading, the process itself should be absorbing and voluptuous; we should gloat over a book, be rapt clean out of ourselves, and rise from the perusal, our mind filled with the busiest, kaleidoscopic dance of images, incapable of sleep, or of continuous thought. The words, if the book be eloquent, should run thence-forward in our ears like the noise of breakers, and the story, if it be a story, repeat itself in a thousand colored pictures to the eye—Robert Louis Stevenson. Styles In Bogota. In Venezuela everybody that is anybody has been in Paris and speaks French, while here (Bogota) one hears very little about Paris, although it is the fashion to allow the creases like Parisian dressmakers. Their dresses, coming by parcels post, are somewhat creased in the mall, but it is the fashion to allow the creases to remain as silent witnesses of the foreign origin of the garments.—London Chronicle. maturel A CREOLE" HAIR RESTORER.
