VOL. XXVI. BRAVE MEN MEET DEATH Thirty Firemen Caught Under Falling Walls. CRUSH OUT LIFE OF TWENTY. Sudden Collapse Of a Wall Of Burning Leather Factory Overwhelms Firemen On Adjoining Roof Under a Mass Of Bricks and Twisted Iron Girders — The Escape Of Those Who Were Not Killed Outright Was Almost Miraculous— Rescuers Worked Under Shadow Of Further Catastrophe. Philadelphia (Special).—Falling walls at the leather factory of the Freelander's Leather Remnants Company burled more than 30 firemen at a fire Wednesday night. Fire Chief James C. Baxter had a narrow escape and at least 10 of his men were instantly killed as the walls crashed down upon them. The five-story walls collapsed with a terrible crash and the next instant the voices of the men could be heard calling for assistance as the flames, which were temporarily extinguished, again burst forth among the ruins. Chief Baxter had entered the burning building to call his men out as he feared that the walls would fall. Just as he stepped within the fire-gutted structure with the order of "All men come, out!" the whole building crumpled and fell. The men who are thought to have met instant death were mounted on an extension ladder and 10 of them were seen by hundreds of horrified spectators as they were hurled into the crater. While the flames had not a moment before lit up the sky, the scene was left in darkness, and the electric light wires were cut by the flying debris. For several minutes hundreds stood motionless, overcome by the spectacle, and then, as the flames again leaped up, the cries of the imprisoned men being slowly cremated could be heard. Hospital ambulances and patrol wagons from all sections of the city were called into play, and the work of rescue begun and scores who were on the outskirts of the building were taken to hospitals. It was at first thought that Chief Baxter had met instant death, but soon afterward the Chief, bleeding from a dozen wounds, was seen heroically fighting his way out of the burning debris. CHIEF JUSTICE WHITE. Takes the Oath As Head Of Supreme Court. Washington, D. C. (Special).—In the presence of a distinguished gathering in the little courtroom, Edward Douglass White was elevated from associate justice in the Supreme Court of the United States to the chief justiceship. The climax of the ceremonies occurred when Associate Justice Harlan, as senior member of the court, administered to the new chief justice the judicial oath. It was subscribed to on the bench itself instead of at the clerk's desk, as is ordinarily the case. Chief Justice White, while taking the oath, held in his hand a Bible which has been used by nearly every chief justice and associate justice on similar occasions during the last century, but unlike most of them, he kissed the book at the conclusion of the oath. For the first time in history an associate justice had been elevated to the chief justiceship and for the first time a president and Senate of one political party had honored a member of a rival party by placing him at the head of the highest court in the land. Cholera and Revolt. Lisbon (Special).A third warship, the cruiser Almiranto Reis, was dispatched to Madelira with a strong force of marines to quell the revolt that followed the cholera outbreak on the island. Two warships previously sent, with marines have proved unable to cope with the situation which is reported to be daily growing more critical. Flee In Night Clothes. Owensboro, Ky. (Special).-One hundred guests of the Rudd House had a narrow escape from death when fire broke out in that hostelry early Tuesday. All had to flee in their night clothes and several were injured in the panic. The loss is $25,000. 18 Years For Keliher. Boston (Special)—Big Bill Kellher, implicated with George W. Coleman in mlsapplying the funds of the National City Bank, of Cambridge, was sentenced to 18 years in the Charlestown State Prison. The Savannah Tribune. TWELVE DEAD; MANY HURT Explosoin of Gaas in the Grand Central Station. New York (Special).—The terrible explosion of illuminating gas in the auxiliary power house at the Grand Central Station, which tore at the heart of and sent a tremor along the entire rock backbone of Manhattan Monday morning, caused the death of 11 persons, two of them women, the injury of 125 others and property damage estimated at from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000. Four persons still missing are believed to be dead. Of the 125 injured 106 were removed to hospitals, and 8 of these may die. Fire broke out in the shattered ruins of the power house again at night, but with a great corps of police, searchers and firemen on the scene the blaze made little headway before it was checked. It was a weird scene in and about the station as the night wore on. No additional bodies were found, but in a hospital Guthier Johnston, an electrician, succumbed to terrible injuries received in the explosion, bringing the death list up to 11. An investigation by the police, the District Attorney's office and the coroner's office is under way. Traffic on the New York Central railroad ceased entirely for some hours and was disorganized for the remainder of the day, but the new station itself, now in process of construction, was not damaged. For some hours it was believed that dynamite alone could have wrought such instantaneous and pulverizing havoc, but late in the afternoon Fire Chief Croker said he was convinced that the whole explosion was due to a mixture of air and illuminating gas, used in lighting railroad cars touched off by an electric spark. The gas had accumulated in the auxiliary powerhouse from a broken pipe snapped off by a runaway passenger car. Rocked Island's Backbone. The force of the explosion ran north and south for two miles along the rocky ridge that is the backbone of the island, and east and west laterally for a mile. Foundations were jarred, walls were shaken out of plumb, windows were blown in by the thousand, ceilings came crashing down on the heads of those beneath and the pavements were littered with a fall of pulverized glass that topped the shoe soles. The loss to the New York Central Railroad Company includes the physical damage done to the powerhouse, which was utterly wrecked, the delay to construction work and the damage done to cars standing near the powerhouse. The loss to shopkeepers and property owners in the vicinity will spread over a wide range. Christmas displays were blown backward into the shops, sucked into the street or cut to ribbons by flying glass. Cause Of the Explosion. As nearly as can be determined this is how the accident occurred; A train load of empty passenger cars, hauled by an electric motor in charge of Albert Seagroatt got beyond control of the brakes, crashed into a steel and concrete buffer post, snapped the post off and rammed a pile of lumber behind the post into a two-and-a-half-inch gas main, connecting with the taps from which the tanks of the passenger cars are charged at 250 pounds to the square inch. 300,000 BABIES A YEAR. Death Toll Exceeds That. Of Tuberculosis, Says Doctor. Washington, D. C. (Special). "More than 300,000 babies die in this country annually before they have reached the age of one year," declared Dr. J. H. Mason Knox, of Baltimore, president of the First National Conference on Infant Mortality, in an address at the Young Men's Christian Association here. "Give the baby a chance to grow up," said Dr. Knox. Dr. Knox also gave other information to show that a remedy is needed for the enormous mortality among infants. He said that the number of deaths among infants was twice that of tuberculosis among adults, although the latter was called the "White Plague." Fire Visits Cincinnati. Cincinnati (Special). Two men dead, 17 injured and a loss estimated at $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 are the results of a fire that swept through a number of business structures here, raging for more than five hours. The fire started in the great shoe manufacturing plant of the Krippendorf-O'Neill Company and before it could be checked had spread into the adjoining buildings. A bitting cold wind which benumbed the hands of the firemen helped the fire spread. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1910. THREE HUNDRED MINERS PERISH A Terrific Explosion in An English Colliery. HEROIC EFFORTS MADE BY RESCUERS. Despairing Families Of the Entombed Men Disperse After the Burial Rites—No Explanation As To the Cause Of the Disaster—Inspector General After Investigation Declares There Is No Hope Of Saving Any Of the Men—Heroic Efforts. Bolton, England (Special).—More than 300 collers lost their lives Wednesday in an explosion in the little Hulton collery of the Hulton Colliery Company, which is located a little distance outside this city. The explosion occurred early in the morning, soon after the miners had entered the pit to begin work. Its force was terrific, and later investigation showed that the lower passages had been blocked. Herolic efforts were made by rescue parties all day long, but a fierce fire which followed the explosion prevented the rescuers from penetrating beyond 400 yards into the workings. At 9.30 o'clock all the rescuers were called out of the mine and a conference was held, at which Government Inspector Gerard, the engineers and the mine manager were present. Inspector Gerard issued a report after making a descent into the pit, in which he stated that it was impossible that any of the miners are still alive. He added that nothing could be done except to bring up 20 bodies found lying near the shaft. This report was communicated to the anxious crowds around the pit mouth, after which the bishop of Manchester conducted a touching service in the open air, and the people slowly dispersed. No explanation is given as to the cause of the explosion which completely wrecked the mine. For a time the lives of 700 men were in jeopardy as a mine communicating with the one in which the explosion occurred was also damaged by the shock, and it was sometime before its 400 occupants could be reached and brought to the surface. The report of the explosion was heard at points several miles distant. This is the second great mine disaster in England this year, an explosion having occurred in the Wellington colliery at White Haven, Cumberland, on May 12, in which 136 miners were killed. MODESTY COST GIRL LIFE. Refused To Allow Tourniquet To Be Placed On Limb. New York (Special): Because she was too modest to allow the fastening of a tourniquet about, her leg, Helen Gorschen, aged 18, dled at St. Vincent's Hospital here. Miss Gorschen accidentally stabbed herself in her left leg with a pair of scissors while at work in a clothing factory. Her fellow employees rushed to her assistance, but she refused to permit any one to blind the wound. She soon fainted from loss of blood and was hurried to the hospital. It was too late, however, to save her life, although the house surgeon said she would have recovered had a tourniquet been applied immediately. 1,340,397 More Bales. Washington, D. C. (Special).—A cotton ginning report issued by the Census Bureau shows 10,698,482 bales, counting round as half bales, ginned from the growth of 1910 to December 13, as compared with 9,358,085 for 1909. Round bales included this year are 106,827, as compared with 140,024 for 1909. Sea Island shows 75,170 bales for 1910, as compared with 85,177 in 1909. Mother Kills Her Baby. New Orleans (Special). After swallowing a large dose of carbolic acid at her home here, Mrs. Mary Kadelich lay down on the bed with her lips pressed to those of her five-days-old infant, which she firmly clasped in her arms. When found, the baby was dead as the result of absorbing the fresh acid from her mother's lips, and Mrs. Kadelich was in a dying condition. Man Baked In Oven. Philadelphia (Special).—Baked almost beyond recognition, the body of William Folks, aged 28 years, was discovered Wednesday in an oven in the Tansey Brickyard, Frankford, where he was employed. He had been missing since Monday. It is supposed that he crawled into the oven to sleep and when the fire was ignited was roasted to death. ARSON TO HIDE TRIPLE CRIME Farmer, Daughter and Grandchild Slain By Negro. Oxford, N. C. (Special).—Nathan Montague, the negro arrested for the triple murder and atrocious assault on a white girl and arson following the killing, was rushed to Raleigh in an automobile by Sheriff Samuel Wheeler, so strong was the feeling aroused in the community by the crime, which is the worst that has occurred in the State for the last 20 years. He is a trembling wreck behind the penitentiary walls, fearful of the mob which threatened his life at Durham tail. The negro murdered J. L. Saunders, an aged white man living in the country near Oxford, his daughter Mary, aged 20, and the man's granddaughter (4 years old), and committed capital assault on the young woman before killing her, placing the bodies in the family's home and settling fire to the house. The bodies, burned to clinders, were found after the fire had died down. Saunders Killed With Knife. Mr. and Mrs. Saunders visited Oxford Monday, Mr. Saunders returning home and his wife spending the night with relatives here. That night a negro entered the yard, met Mr. Saunders outside the house and killed him with a knife. He next succeeded in outraging the young woman, after which he cut her throat, and then murdered the child when she drew his notice by her pleadings. The burning of the bodies was consummated to hide the crime. Neighbors discovered the fire shortly after its start and hastened to the scene. None of the family was seen, and it was feared they were burned alive. Pools of blood and a big butcher's knife in the yard caused suspicion to fall on Montague, whose knife it was proved to be, and his arrest followed while he was hiding in the garret of his house. He came tremblingly forth in bloody clothing. The murdered girl helped neighbors butcher hogs Monday, the negro also assisting, using the identical knife which caused suspicion to fall upon him. FRAUDS IN SYRUP REFUNDS. Government Preparing To Prosecute Sugar Men Again. Washington, D. C. (Special).—Customs experts and special gents are investigating abuse of the "drawback" privileges in sugar, and one official declares the revelations promise to put the government in position to recover nearly as much as it did in the underweight cases, when more than $3,000,000 was paid to the Treasury. When sugar is imported it pays a duty, and when it is manufactured into a product, and in that form exported, the duty is refunded in the form of a "drawback" except 1 per cent. About $7,000,000 is paid in that way each year and half that amount is drawn back on exports of sugar and tin. It is charged that refunds on syrups have been paid on high grades of sugar commanding high duties while, in fact, a very low grade of sugar,was being used,land the government has lost large sums in this way. HORRORS OF THE PLAGUE. Its Ravages In Mongolia Continue Unchecked. St. Petersburg (Special). — The correspondent of the Rech at Vladivostok telegraphs that the ravages of bubonic plague in Mongolia are unchecked. Corpses frequently mark the sites of abandoned camps of nomads. The situation in Manchuria is grave. The German consul at Harbin has addressed a pressing note to the Chinese Taotal demanding that radical measures be taken to stay the epidemic and stating that otherwise Germany will interfere. The municipality of Harbin has invited Japanese physicians to attend the diseased in the barracks, as the Russians refuse to expose themselves. NEW AVIATION RECORD. Legagneux's Fine Flight For the Michelin Cup. Pau, France (Special).—M. Lagagneux, the French aviator, established a new record in the Michelin cup competition Wednesday, remaining in the air from 8.34 o'clock A. M. until 2.35 o'clock P. M., and covering a distance of 516 kilometers, or 320.43 miles. The Michelin cup is awarded annually to the aviator making the longest sustained flight in a 'closed circle within the year and exceeding the record of the previous year. The winner receives a premium of $4,000. BURIED UNDER FALLING WALLS Two Entire Companies of Chicago Fire Department Dead. CHIEF MARSHAL HORAN ON THE LIST. Horan Predicted Just Such a Catastrophe Only Twelve Hours Before He Perished—Morris & Co.'s New Beef House Destroyed By Blaze—Explosion Causes Structure To Crumble. Chicago (Special).—Fire Marshal James Horan and 30 of his comrades gave up their lives in a disaster here Thursday that the veteran fire fighter had feared for years—a stockyards holocaust. Just 12 hours after the fire chief had warned the Council Committee on Buildings that more fire-fighting appliances were at once needed at the stockyards he had been trapped and two entire companies of firemen had been wiped out in just such a fire as he had predicted. Fifteen firemen were seriously injured, including two captains, who may die. The flames completely destroyed the new beef house of the Morris & Co. plant at the yards, spread to several smaller structures and for hours threatened to sweep the entire yards. Property was destroyed aggregating nearly $500,000. Crippled by the loss of their leader and the greatest loss of life in the fire department since the cold-storage tower disaster of World's Fair times, the firemen fought on the entire day and info the night, finally checking the spread of the flames. Killed Without Warning. The firemen with Chief Horan in their midst were killed without a moment's warning while endeavoring to reach the seat of the fire in the blazing structure. There was an explosion, but it was not of an ammonia tank, as at first supposed. The explosion was declared to have been due to the expansion of the cold atmosphere in the air-tight cold-storage house. The list of dead includes the chief, the assistant chief, 2 captains, 5 lieutenants, 13 city firemen, 2 private firemen and a railroad employe. Like Iroquols 'Disaster. Not since the days following the Iroquois Theatre tragedy, which, like the disaster of today, was a holiday time horror, have such pathetic scenes attended a fire in Chicago. The bodies of victims were taken to undertaking rooms on West Forty-third street, near the fire. Widows and children of the dead men, white-faced and frantic, crowded into the place. The bodies were so badly mutilated in most cases that the police would not permit relatives to view them. In several instances women struggled with policemen in attempts to see their dead. Mayor Busse, greatly affected by the death of Chief Horan, called a special meeting of the City Council, which convened late in the afternoon. A committee of 15 Aldermen was selected to take charge of relief work for the families of the dead and to make funeral arrangements. At the same time a meeting of business men was held, at the Chicago Club, at which it was agreed that $150,000 should be raised for the widows and orphans. Pledges of $50,000 were received in a few minutes. Theatre managers also prepared to hold benefit performances. The building in which the fire started was a four-story brick structure and covered an area bounded on the east by Loomis street, on the west by Bishop street and on the north and south, by Forty-third and Forty-fourth streets. FARMER FOUND SHOT DEAD. Bloody Hatchet In Another Building and Robbery Suspected. West Chester, Pa. (Special).—Richard Mercer, a bachelor farmer, 65 years old and a veteran of the Civil War, was found dead on a lounge in his home, four miles from this borough, by several neighbors who, suspecting something wrong, entered the house. There was a pistol shot wound in the head, and the police are in doubt whether he died by his own hand or was murdered. A bloody hatchet was found in an adjoining building. It is supposed that the farmer had some funds in the house, which shows evidence of having been ransacked, and that the fact of the money being kept there was known to some one in the neighborhood. A CAPABLE MAN ON THE JOB. Henry Neal Has Long Record aa Attendant to the Speaker of. the House. Washington, D. C.—(Special)—One of the best known colored men in Washington to members of congress who have served for any length of time is Henry Neal, an attache of the speaker's room, who has occupied the position of general attendant to the speaker of the national house of representatives for a period of years covering and since the time of Speaker John G. Carlisle of Kentucky. When Thomas B. Reed was first elected speaker he retained the services of Neal in his office. When Charles F. Crisp came into power as the presiding officer of the congress he also reappointed Neal. Upon the advent of Tom Reed (as his friends were wont to call him) to the speaker's chair for the second time, serving a double term, he found his faithful friend, Neal, still on duty and was plaessed to retain him in his service. Speaker Henderson and Uncle Joe Cannon each found in Neal a man of rare faculty and untiring devotion to his duties, and he still occupies the position. The fact that a change in the speakership will come with the convexing of the Sixty-second congress is said to be causing much speculation as to whether the next speaker will retain Neal, as did his predecessor for all these years. Henry Neal is a native of Kentucky, but with the advent of each new speaker he humorously lays claims to the state from which the new speaker comes. Race Progress As Reported by National Business League. Over two thousand colored enumerators were employed in taking the thirteenth census. These applicants were subjected to tests the same as the white applicants. The results of the tests showed a high degree of ability on the part of most of the applicants. In the city of Nashville the highest grade obtained was a colored applicant. There is of course considerable interest felt in the accuracy of the work done by the colored enumerators. The reports of the supervisors made to the census bureau have all been favorable. The testimony of the persons who are handling the schedules returned to the census bureau is that the schedules are accurately done. In a large number of cases it appears that the colored enumerators have taken more care and more pains concerning the colored people than the white enumerators have, to do the same thing. This, illustrated by a study of the census entries on occupation which show that the colored enumerators have been more conscientious in giving the variety of occupations followed by colored people than the white enumerators. The latter has frequently not been specific, often using the general term "laborer" where it was evident that the colored enumerators would have given some particular occupation. All in all the experiment of em ploying a large number of colored enumerators has been entirely successful and reflects great credit upon the race. Gilbert Hollins of Wilmington, N. C., is one of the largest rice farmers in the countrry. His business each year amounts to thousands of dollars. At Birmingham, Ala., a very unique plan has been lauigurated for the betterment of Negro labor conditions. This plan has already produced very beneficial results. Dr. W. R. Pettiford, president of the Penny Savings bank, originated the movement. There is a regular meeting place where instruction is given largely through simple talks on practical topics which are most closel y identified with the welfare and interest of Negro laborers. These topics are on the sanitation of homes, care of the health, economy, and careful expenditure of earnings, industrious habits and faithfulness in work. The institution is free and open to all colored workmen. The instructors include the leading ministers, physicians, teachers and business men in the community. Besides the lectures given at th eregular meetings the instructors visit the industrial district and there deliver practical talks. Arrangements are under way for the erection of a $20,000 home for the work. The adventures of a fool generally lead him into silly straits. Often the diamond in the rough has the finest resources. eS : =ABPETBAGGER SCHEME”>»~©> | eae ae ee | ee ET. ‘BAGGER aaa IN GEORGIA |= CTS ETDS IF TEACH NEGRO GIRLS ESSENTIALS. | The Negro Who Convinced a : . + President That He Was Right Augusta.

But at last the latter spoke: . “Senator Bruce,” he said, “if that id your feeling, you can not afford to ac? cept my offer. And though I had not looted at the matter ia that light, you have convinced he that your reason is a good one—that your decision it the only proper one.

This is one of the old, chestnutty sayings that has been with us so per- sistently that we have come to believe it, notwithstanding the fact that it is not true, says Pacitic Dairy Review. The fact is that when we speak of aerds the sire is the whole herd. As the sire is, so must the future herd be. There is no halt way business about it. ‘The man who breeds to poor sires will have a poor-bred herd, just as sure as the man who ‘breeds to good Mres is sure to bave a good herd.

DON'T OVER GROWD. One primary cause of colds and roup in the fall Is placing too many thicks in the same coop, or allowing foo many to crowd together fater they tre weaned. To avoid tals, the brood- er housé, should be built long enough to have it separated into several pens, allowing not more than two broods (30 chicks) to each pen, and have tow poles for the hen to teach them to go upon when she wants to wean them, This precaution now will save much worry and loss later when sev- eral broods of weaned chicks-all want to huddle in one corner, smothering some and overheating others, which is worse in the end than if they had been killed at once, since it results in & diseased condition (colds and roup) Which will spread to others —Progres- sive Farmer and Gazette, : THE FARM ICE HOUSE. It is none ,too carly to thing about building an icehouse. Ice Is a great hixury in summer, and as much or even more so than in the cities or towns. An Icehouse should be so constructed as to have a double wall or air space surrounding that portion above ground, and the cost of such will be but little compared with the protection afforded. There should also be double doors. It is not difficult to keep ice in a buflding above ground if the double walls are uséd and the ice securely packed. : PEACH TREE BORERS., There is no means known by which the borers cap be entirely prevented in peach trees. Painting a foot of tie base or the trunk with white lead and oil will prevent some getting in. But the only way to Keep all out is to go over the trees in June and September and wherever the gum is seen scrape it away and cut the borer out. POULTY POINTERS. _ With poultry, as with other ani- mals, the faster they are made to grow while they are young the more profit there is in the business, Rush the cockerels for the market and pul- lets for laying.

Live stock coming into the six large markets—Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St. Louts, St, Joseph and Sioux City—this year, up to April 1, totaled about 7,600,000 agatast 9,400,000 up to the same date in 1909. This shows a total decrease of about 1,800,000 head. The greater portion of the deficiency 1s fn hogs, where: about 1,700,000 less arrived than last year. Receipts of sheep were about 200,000 less and cat- tle receipts practically correspond to 1910. Live stock markets have been uregular. High prices have taken a fall several times, only to recover and tumble again. Packers have left no stone unturned to lower prices. The outlook for the breeder and feeder could not well be brighter—Agricul tural Epltomist, 3 i. THE FARM WELL. I met a neigibor on the road the other day who had been to town to buy lag screws to fasten down his wind mill pump. He said the plat- form planks would become too rotten to hold down the pump in a little time. Lumber is not what it ought to be, considering the cost. I told him that I bad no such trouble. My platform is made of concrete with bolts set in it when made, the pump base set over tae bolts and the nuts drawn tight, and they stay tight: The pump can not budge. But he has a dug well for the first 20 feet, and so a wooden platform 1s more conveniently made. My well fs drilled from the top, cased with pipe to solid rock, and hence is water tight, alr tight and insect tight. ‘The conercte platform set tight to the pipe, the pump base rests on top and the water 1s pure—Denver Field and Farm. RAISING PEACHES. A good soil is needed for peach trees, but a soll that is deficient In the food\élements needed cannot grow the tree. The ground must be {n prop- gr condition. The peach tree needs no fertilizing until it has set a crop; then fertilizing should be applied free- ly, so that the vigor of the tree may be preserved and that It may grow the most perfect frult. Wood ashes, five to ten pounds per tree, is very good. Stable manure applied in the fall or early winter (but never in the spring, unless the land fs very poor and the trees are weak), Is excellent. Cow- peas grown in a peach orchard will be found to be a beneficial crop. They should be sown very late in the sea- son (about now), and are not to be removed from the land. Farm Topics It has become an accepted fact gen- erally that ft is better to tend a small piece of ground well than to plant large fields and give them only half cultivation. Intensive farming means simply, making the utmost of What: ever you work wita. The poultry products of the United States are just on a par with wheat and hay. The combined value of the three last year was around two Dil- lion dollars, an average of over 671 millions each.

There 1s In a certain in- stitution a young woman who ‘knows how to knit lace and spends much of ‘aer time In making pieces of lace. She is a very poor girl and was de- prived of early schooling. She may not be able to remain in school over two ce Uaree years, She is belng helped by ‘philanthropic friend. The girl does not know how to make an apron. ‘This friend gave her several beautiful dresses and shirtwalsts that nevd remodeling. She is not able to pay to have the work done, nor Is sue able to de it herseif, and yet this young woman entered school to pur- sue a Merary course. What she needs is a thorough course in sewing. This young woman’ is slovenly in habit and does not know how to keep a house or even a room, for that mat- ter. She needs a full course in house- kéeping and home-making. She does not know iow fo cook; she needs a thorough course in domestic scfence. The money now being spent on her is really being wasted, and yet the girl is so sensitive and the pallan- thropist 1s so impractical, that we can- not offer advice to either for fear of being entirely misunderstood. When this girl comes out of school she will have-to go to work. And the only place in which sae will even have a chance to work will be in a home as a servant, and she is not prepared to Jo that kind of work. She will drite from place to place and her benefac- tor will perhaps blame the schvol for not having prepared her to earn her living. She may marry, but she-can never make a home because she does not know iow. Perhaps you have discovered how sensitive we are on this question of the “kind of education” we need for ‘our girls. We do not consider natural bent nor opportunity for employment AWhether we like it or not—whether we confess it or not, the Negro girl will face a different situation from the white girl when she turns to earning her bread. In the first place, the Ne- gro girl has only one chance of secur- ‘ng employment to the white girl's twenty-five chances; therefore, thelr industrial opportunities immediately assume the ratio of “twenty-five to one.” ‘The white girl will be better paid for her work, and In nine cases out of ten wiil be better treated in. the most menial position. These are facts that we might a3 well prepare our girls to face. The Negro girl's wages will be small and her advancement slow. ‘The white girl who is a maid today, if she Is properly endowed mentally may be a private secretary to a bank president In a very few months; anc she may go out of this into a more Inerative position. In other words. she has an unlimited field. ‘fhe Negro girl has only three or four avenues of employment along * Little Chings Worth Knowing Frau Cosima Wagner was the only woman to receive an honorary dvc- tor's degree at the recent celebra- tion of the centenary of Berlln Uni- versity.

In her trainitig there are some things to be regarded as essential that may be, or. may not-be essential in the training of the average white girl. all women, white and colored, who ard fortunate enough to have a practical education will find it a valuable ad: junct to their education; but soma women can llye without knowing how ot sew, how {6 cook and how to wast’ and iron, but nine-tenths of the Ne gro girls need training, while in the school, in these arts because they niust work at them or loaf. It fs high time that mothers and friends use a Uttle more common sense in the training of the girls of the race, There are hundreds of stu- dents pursuing courses for which they have no natural bent. You will find in any of our {nstitutions. ten young women taking music to one taking domestic science; but when they go out in the world the oppor- tunity for employment will be just the reverse. ‘The race Is actually suffering for the want of women to give satistac- tlon in the doing of the most ordinary things fn the avenues of employment open to colored women. In our homes we are in need of cooks and house* keepers and those who are able to pay for first class service cannot find those who can do their work satisfac- torily. - x i As we stated before, most of/ tae avenues are closed to the Negro girls, and whether we lke st or mot, ive might as well enter those that \are open to us and do the work well,\for, after all, our own welldoing in any position—high or low—is going to |x our place and secure our promotion in the Industrial walks of life.

Several hours later, perhaps right after dinner, stew them in the same water. Then drain them, and when they are cold take the stones out, just as you would treat dates. Boll together one and one-half cups of sugar, one-half square chocolate and three-quarters of a cup of milk until a thick syrup is formed; then add one-half cup chopped English walnut or pecan nuts. Remove from the fire; add a half-teaspoon vanilla and beat until creamy. Fill the prunes with the mixture and press the edges together. Dissolve an ounce of gum arabic in a pint of water, and dip each prune in it, then in granulated sugar. Set in a warm place until dry, and you won't recognize your humble old friend, the prune, in its new guise. BABY AND HIS BATH. Both hands must be used in lifting the baby from the lap to the bath. One hand supports his back, while the little head rests upon the nurse's lower arm or wrist. The legs and lower part of the child's body are lifted in her other hand. It will take only a trifling amount of practice to gain familiarity with the trick of raising the baby in this fashion without giving him the least discomfort. Before he goes into the bath the child's face and head should have been washed, so that there is no danger of soapy water getting into his eyes or mouth. SHADOW BLOUSE CRAZE. These shadow effects are immensely popular, and to achieve them various thin materials are mounted over lace-trimmed underblouses or over the Persian patterned silks or chiffons. An attractive waist which will appeal to the woman who likes trim tailored effects is the marquise model of striped silk. Old blue and a soft blue-gray are combined in the stripes of this waist, the trimming being of plain blue satin with small satin-covered buttons. The yoke and cuffs are of white Irish lace. TO CLEANSE TATTING. Tatting cannot be properly washed to look as good as new, for it is almost impossible to restore the picots their natural shape. Soak the pieces in gasoline and while湿 dust them with corn starch. Wrap them in a clean towel and leave them for several hours. Beat the towel lightly, lift out the lact and shake it free of starch. Press the picots into shape and iron lightly on the wrong side. SHORT SHRIFT WITH BACHELORS The finance committee of the Duma has adopted a legislative proposition of a group of deputies, having for its object a special tax upon bachelors "who have attained the age of marriage and have failed to take to themselves a wife. It is proposed to increase the tax on the income of such persons by 50 per cent over the impost lent on fathers of families. TRIMMINGS. Among the trimmings for fall and winter garments, especially for suits and handsome separate coats of brocheth, plush, fur fabrics, velvet, cheviot, reversible, and similar -fabrics, braids are again prominent. Household Matters Old newspapers may be used to pad the ironing board just as well as an old blanket, which can not always be spared, or the lining felt which comes for such purposes and is rather expensive. To clean a rope line, place it in a large pan of cold water, add a little washing soda, a little soap and bring slowly to the boil; boil 30 minutes, rinse it thoroughly in clean cold water and stretch between hooks to dry. To clean swan's down, lift it up and down in warm suds made with white soap. Wash a second time in bluing water, rinse and shake dry before an open fire in the sunshine. It must not be permitted to dry without shaking it all the time, for this makes it light and fluffy. Offtimes it can be cleaned with gasoline. An economical and really excellent pad for cleaning and testing hot irons is made of several layers of heavy brown paper. This may be renewed each ironing day and is quite satisfactory. For a fine polish a little wax or paraffin should be used. One of the innumerable uses to which glycerine may be put is cleansing material on which coffee has been spilled. The dark stain, and even the grease spot from the cream are easily removed. The material should be carefully rinsed in lukewarm water and pressed on the wrong side. ```markdown ``` PRUNES. FOR BABY'S COMFORT. "The mother or nurse who teaches the baby to love its cradle has solved many difficulties," says an authority: "and nothing is simpler to do. Warmth is what the baby wants. Let the hot water bottle take the place of the heat of the mother's body and all will be well. Before the baby's bath two hot water bottles should be placed in the cradle well covered over. Ablutions finished, and wrapped in a soft shawl or blanket, the child is slipped into the warmed cradle, the bottles being left at foot and side with at least two layers of blanket between them and the little inmate. A blanket tucked over all keeps everything snug." TO REMOVE OIL AND GREASE. Many oil and grease stains may be removed from linen with the following preparation: Put a quarter of a pound of sal soda in half a pint of boiling water, and stir until dissolved, then with a saff brush—a toothbrush will do—rub the stain with this, having pinned the goods over a towel so that the satin may be kept wet for ten minutes, fresh soda water being applied as the first evaporates. Then wash the stained part, in hot soap suds, pour boiling water on to rinse it, and dry. If any trace of the satin remains, repeat the application being sure to rinse with the boiling water each time. LET CHILDREN BE HAPPY. Do not try to make men of your boys or women of your girls, says Orison Swett Marden in Success Magazine. Make home just as happy a place as possible and give them rein, freedom. There is nothing sadder in life than the child who has been robbed of its childhood. WOMAN'S DESIRE. The desire to love comes to every woman sooner or later, and often she makes shipwreck of her fate. The woman who can do without man, who has never loved and never wished to love, is a myth—Lady Violet Greville. STUFFED HAM. Purchase a small fresh ham, have the butcher trim off the skin, most of the fat and take out the bonc. Make a good dressing, and place in where bone was extracted. Roast as one would turkey. A SURE THING. A man can never guess how big the hats, or sleeves, or skirts of women will be next season, but he stands ready to bet that no fashion center can make big shoes for women popular.—Atchison Globe. —Velvet reception dresses are "it." —Paris trims wash dresses with velvet. TO KEEP CUT FLOWERS FRESH, To keep cut flowers fresh, add to the water in which they are to be kept a tablespoonful or two of common baking soda. This preserves them for a long time. AN OLD TRAY MADE NEW. When a japanned tray becomes old and chipped give it two coats of white paint and one enamel, the bottom as well as the top. Stand it on the edge to dry after each coat. It will be found as good as new, as well as very pretty. The enamel is easily renewed. PRESSING CENTERPIECES. When laundering centerpieces the ugly puckering that prevents them lying flat on the table is prevented by ironing the center before the edges. Handkerchiefs are also best ironed in this way, although usually the hems are ironed first. FANCY STRAW BASKETS. Fancy straw baskets which so many of us accumulate can be put to a gracious use by filling with fresh fruit and sending it to an invalid or to a friend starting upon a journey. The artistic effect is enhanced by adding some of the foliage. FASHION NOTES. A gown of foulard which had a cream-colored ground with golden brown figures has a skirt which seems to be one big puff and is caught, at the hem into a whole piece of solid brown satin. The corsage appears all belt, for the belt is so high that it extends under the arms. Most of the krench frocks are short enough to show the instep. - Solid greens are promised a decided popularity. ```markdown ``` VELVET "The landlady says that new boarder is a foreign nobleman."

The per capita wealth of the Indian is approximately $2,130, that for other Americans is only a little more than $1,300. The lands owned by the Indians are rich in oil, timber and other natural resources of all kinds. Some of the best timber land in the United States is owned by Indians. The value of their agricultural lands runs up in the millions. The ranges which they possess support about 500,000 sheep and cattle, owned by leseses, bringing in a revenue of more than $272,000 to the various tribes besides providing feed for more than 1,500,000 head of horses, cattle, sheep and goats belonging to the Indians themselves.

It was founded upon the initiative of Fraunleil Cecelle Meyer, who was inspired by an existing organization in Rome. In deference to the parent organization the Berlin league has chosen the Italian motto, "Pro gentilezza." This will be emblazoned upon an attractive little medal worn where Germans are accustomed to wear the insignia of orders. The idea is that a glance at the "tallisman" will annihilate any inclination to indulge in bad temper or discourteous language. "Any polite person" is eligible for membership.

What Al This Ques What About Brain Food? This Question Came Up in the Recent Trial for Libel. A "Weekly" printed some criticisms of the claims made for our foods. It evidently did not fancy our reply printed in various newspapers, and brought suit for libel. At the trial some interesting facts came out. Some of the chemical and medical experts differed widely. The following facts, however, were quite clearly established: Analysis of brain by an unquestionable authority, Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts, Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined (Phosphate of Potash), 2.91 per cent of the total, 5.33 of all Mineral Salts. This is over one-half. Beaunis, another authority, shows "Phosphoric Acid combined" and Potash 73.44 per cent from a total of 101.07. Considerable more than one-half of Phosphate of Potash. Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium and Phosphorus, (which join and make Phosphate of Potash), is considerable more than one-half of all the mineral salts in the food. Dr. Geo. W. Carey, an authority on the constituent elements of the body, says: "The gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely by the inorganic cell-salt, Potassium Phosphate (Phosphate of Potash). This salt unites with albumen and by the addition of oxygen creates nerve fluid or the gray matter of the brain. Of course, there is a trace of other salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid, but Potassium Phosphate is the chief factor, and has the power within itself to attract, by its own One From the Cashier The harmless customer leaned across the cigar counter and smiled engagingly at the new cashier. As he handed across the amount his dinner check called for he ventured a bit of aimless converse, for he was of that sort. "Funny," said he, "how easy it is to spend money." "Well," snapped the cashier as she fed his fare to the register, "if money was intended for you to hold on to the mint would be turning out coins with handles on 'em." Had Money In Lumps. Charles H. Rosenberg of Bavaria had lumps on his shoulders, elbows, and hips when he arrived, here from Hamburg on the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria. In fact, there was a series of smaller lumps along his spine, much like a mountain range, as it is presented on a bas-relief map. The lumps were about the size of good Oregon apples, and as Rosenberg passed before the immigration doctor for observation, the doctor said softly to himself, "See that lump." Then he asked Mr. Rosenberg to step aside. "You seem like a healthy man," said the doctor, "but I cannot pass you until I know the origin of those lumps on your body." "Ah, it is not a sickness," laughed the man from Bavaria. "Those swellings is money." Taking off his coat he broke open a sample lump and showed that it contained $500 in American bank notes. He informed the doctor that he had $11,000 in all, with which he was going to purchase an apple orchard in Oregon. He was admitted to the country.—New York Tribune. Why He Laughed. Miss Mattie belonged to the old south, and she was entertaining a guest of distinction. On the morning following his arrival she told Tillie, the little colored maid, to take a pitcher of fresh water to Mr. Firman's room, and to say that Miss Mattie sent him her compliments, and that if he wanted a bath, the bathroom was at his service. When Tillie returned she said: "I tol' him, Miss Mattie, en' he laughed fit to bus' hisself." "Tillie, tell me exactly what you said." "I banged de doah, and I said, 'Mr. Firman, Miss Mattie sends you her lub, and she says, 'Now you can get up and wash yo'self'"—Lippincott's Magazine Where He Was Queer.

Despite misfortune's darts, What constant springs of happiness Lie hld in human hearts; What sunny gleams and golden dreams The passing years unfold.

Further on he says: "The beginning and end of the matter is to supply the lacking principle, and in molecular form, exactly as nature furnishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To supply deficiencies—this is the only law of cure." The natural conclusion is that if Phosphate of Potash is the needed mineral element in brain and you use food which does not contain it, you have brain fag because its nally loss is not supplied. On the contrary, if you eat food known to be rich in this element, you place before the life forces that which nature demands for brain-building. In the trial a sneer was uttered because Mr. Post announced that he had made years of research in this country and some clinics of Europe, regarding the effect of the mind on digestion of food. But we must be patient with those who sneer at facts they know nothing about. Mind does not work well on a brain that is broken down by lack of nourishment. A peaceful and evenly polished mind is necessary to good digestion. Worry, anxiety, fear, hate, &c., &c., directly interfere with or stop the flow of Ptyalin, the digestive juice of the mouth, and also interfere with the flow of the digestive juices of stomach and pancreas. Therefore, the mental state of the individual has much to do (more than suspected) with digestion. How She Learned. The mother of a family of three small children was discussing their comparative precococity with a friend. "John was very slow at everything," she said, referring to her oldest. "Tom was a little better, and Edith, the baby, is the smartest of all. She picks up everything quick as can be." Master John, who had been listening, now contributed his share of the conversation. "Humph!" he exclaimed. "I know why her learns so quick. It's 'cause her has us and we didn't have us." The late, former Governor Allen D. Candler of Georgia was famous in the south for his qualit humor. "Governor Candler," said a Galenville man, "once abandoned cigars for a pipe at the beginning of the year. He stuck to his resolve till the year's end. Then he was heard to say: "By actual calculation, I have saved by smoking a pipe instead of cigars this year $208. But where is it?" Moslem Traditions. Ramadan is the month exalted by Moslems above all others. In that month the Koran—according to Moslem tradition—was brought down by Gabriel from heaven and delivered to men in small sections. In that month, Mohammed was accustomed to retire from Mecca to the cave of Hira, for prayer and meditation. In that month Abraham, Moses and other prophets received their divine revelations. In that month the "doors of heaven are always open, the passages to hell are shut, and the devils are chained." So run the traditions.—The Christian Herald. A Medical Compromise. "You had two doctors in consultation last night, didn't you?" "Yee." "What did they say?" "Well, one recommended one thing and the other recommended something else." "A deadlock, eh?" "No, they finally told me to mix 'em!" Hard on the Mars. Twice, as the bus slowly wended its way up the steep Cumberland Gap, the door at the rear opened and slammed. 'At first those inside pald little heed; but the third time demanded to know why they should be disturbed in this fashion. "Whist," cautioned the driver, don't spake so loud; she'll overhear us." "Who?" "The mare. Spake low! Shure, Ol'm desavin th' crayture. Every tome she 'ears th' door close, she thinks won o' yez is gettin' down ter walk up th' bill, an' that sort o' raises her sperrits."—Success Magazine. Exaggeration. On her arrival in New York Mme, Sara Bernhardt, replying to a compliment on her youthful appearance, said: "The secret of my youth? It is the good God—and then, you know, I work all the time. But I am a great-grandmother," she continued, thoughtfully, "so how can these many compliments be true? I am afraid my friends are exaggerating." Mme. Bernhardt's laugh, spontaneous as a girl's, prompted a chorus of "No, no!" "Yes," said the actress, "unconscious exaggeration, like the French nurse on the boulevard. Our boulevards are much more crowded than your streets, you know. and, although we have numerous accidents, things aren't quite as bad as the nurse suggested. "Her little charge, a boy of six, begged her to stop a while in a crowd, surrounding an automobile accident. 'Please wait,' the little boy said, 'Want to see the man who was run over.' 'No; hurry,' his nurse answered. 'There will be plenty more to see further on.'" In Food? the Recent This trial has demonstrated: That Brain is made of Phosphate of Potash as the principal Mineral Salt, added to albu- men and water. That Grape-Nuts contains that element as more than one-half of all its mineral salts. A healthy brain is important, if one would "do things" in this world. A man who sneers at "Mind" sneers at the best and least understood part of himself. That part which some folks believe links us to the Infinite. Mind asks for a healthy brain upon which to act, and Nature has defined a way to make a healthy brain and renew it day by day as it is used up from work of the previous day. Nature's way to rebuild is by the use of food which supplies the things required. Postum Cereal Co., Ltd. Battle Creek, Mich. Economy. "You shouldn't have called that man a plg," said the conciliatory man. "That's right," replied the vingictive person? "There is no sense in implying that he's worth 40 cents a pound to anybody." Blissful Ignorance. "Were you nervous when you proposed to your wife?" asked the sentimental person. "No," replied Mr. Meekton; "but if I could have foreseen the next ten years I would have been." Economy In Art. "Of course," said Mr. Sirius Barker, "I want my daughter to have some sort of an artistic education. I think I'll have her study singing." "Why not art or literature?" "Art spolls canvas and paint and literature wastes reams of paper. Singing merely produces a temporary disturbance of the atmosphere. Home Thought. "It must have been frightful," said Mrs. Bossim to her husband, who was in the earthquake. "Tell me what was your first thought when you awakened in your room at the hotel and heard the alarm." "My first thought was of you," answered Mr. Bossim. "How noble!" "Yes. First thing I knew, a vase off the mantel caught me on the ear; then a chair whirled in my direction, and when I jumped to the middle of the room four or five books and a framed picture struck me all at once." Even after saying that, he affected to wonder what made her so angry for the remainder of the evening.—Mack's National Monthly. New Process of Staining Glass. New Process of Staining Glass. The art of coloring glass has been lost and refound, jealously guarded and maliciously stolen so many times in the history of civilization that it seems almost impossible to say anything new on glass staining. Yet a process has been discovered for making the stained glass used in windows which is a departure from anything known at the present time. What the Venetians and the Phoenicians knew of it we cannot tell. The glass first receives its design in mineral colors and the whole is then fired in a heat so intense that the coloring matter and the glass are indisolubly fused. The most attractive feature of this method is that the surface acquires a peculiar pebbled character in the heat, so that when the glass is in place the lights are delightfully soft and mellow. In making a large window in many shades each panel is separately moulded and bent and the sections are assembled in a metal frame. Our Volces I think our conversational soprano, as sometimes overheard in the cars, arising from a group of young persons who have taken the train at one of our great industrial centers, for instance, young persons of the female sex, we will say, who have busted in full dressed, engaged in loud, strident speech, and who, after free discussion, have fixed on two or more double seats, which having secured, they proceed to eat apples and hand round daguerreotypes—I say, I think the conversational soprano, heard under these circumstances, would not be among the allurements the old enemy would put in requisition were he getting up a new temptation of St. Anthony. There are sweet volces among us, we all know, and volces not musical, it may be, to those who hear them for the first time, yet sweeter to us than any we shall hear until we listen to some warbling angel in the overture to that eternity of blissful harmonies we hope to enjoy. But why should I tell lies? If my friends love me, it is because I try to tell the truth. I never heard but two voices in my life that frightened me by their sweetness.—Holmes. "There's a Reason" We extend to all of our patron a real happy and prosperous New Year. How about your New Year's resolution! Have you formed one! If it is for good, will you keep it! This is the season of the year when all of us should take a sober thought of life and resolve to make improvements along every line of endeavor for good. All of our men who are in business seem to be prosperous and making a good show, during the year they should plan for greater improvements. Our white business men are planning the inauguration of a movement that will greatly benefit Savannah. Our colored business men should keep in touch with these movements and give every conceivable moral aid in the upbuilding of Savannah. As yet The Tribune, unlike some of its contemporaries, cannot afford to take a holiday at this season. Our readers are too anxious to receive their weekly copies which they are justly entitled to, for us to miss an issue. The campaign for the election of city officials is in full sway. By the united effort and support of the colored vote much can be accomplished for the securing of a new school in order to accommodate a few of the four or five thousand children who are now unable to secure places in the present crowded and unsanitary schools. During the past few weeks not less than five hundred of substantial colored people of Burke, Jenkins and adjoining counties sold out their holdings and left for the west. There is a serious cause for this. Georgia can not afford to lose this class of its citizens matters not how humble they may be. But this exodus of citizens will continue until they are assured better treatment in the rural districts and are accorded full justice in the courts. The order by Judge Charlton in discharging recently from Chatham Co. jail, Arthur Miller, the Negro boy who was being held on account of a debt which he had contracted with his employer in Meldrum, Ga., and which for some reason he was unable to meet, will long stand as a much deserved decision passed against a wrong which has been practiced for many years against our people in rural districts, in small towns and occasionally in large municipalities. This order which Judge Charlton has just passed will not, as no doubt many people will assert, cause Negro employees to be less conscientious in the execution of their work but it, will make their employers, who have exercised little or no scruples against exacting out of their scanty wages exhorbitant prices for the necessities of life, more careful in forming those illegal contracts between employer and employee that have been a disgrace to the state and a shame against humanity. This is but one of a thousand such wrongs that is being perpetrated against our race and the effect of the passage of this order making it illegal to arrest or detain a person on account of indebtedness will be far reaching. The nearness of the coming municipal election is causing no end of excitement in political circles and is forcing the two competing parties to work with might and main in order to marshal their forces in time for the fight which comes off on Tuesday week. The contest promises to be one of the fiercest in the history of local politics, and on account of its apparent closeness each party is striving to, whip into line every available voter that can be found, and in their desire to gain an advantage over each other, neither side has lost sight of the fact that the Negro vote will probably be the deciding factor and for that reason it is much sought. Both parties, no doubt, will make rather flattering inducements to the colored voters for their support and we want to take this opportunity to remind our colored friends that their decision to cast a vote for one side, or the other in the coming election must not be made upon the face value of any personal favors or promises or for the sake of any temporary gain that may be forthcoming, but to the man, we must go to the polls and support the party which will assure us the most substantial inducements as a people. We must lay aside all selfishness and cast our votes as a matter principle, allowing nothing to deter us from doing our duty to ourselves by voting the ticket which will best benefit us as a race. We must base our choice of candidates upon sound judgment and sober thought, remembering that it is encumbent upon us to exercise our right of franchise wisely and carefully. The Tribune wants a greater Savannah, a greater number of colored men in business, a greater number of young men securing homes and saving their earnings, and a greater movement for the uplift of the more unfortunate ones among us. Let the colored citizens unite in order to make the coming year a record breaking one for the inaugurating of more business enterprises and the supporting of the existing ones. The opportunity is now at hand and should be grasped. The coming year should see the establishment of a first class shoe store, a gents furnishing establishment, a furniture store, etc. The time is ripe for it; the mass of our people are in for it and will give support. Our men of means and ability should get busy. The stampede of the crowd of theatre goers in front of the Pekin last Monday night which was caused by the charges made into it by the mounted policemen who appeared on the scene at the close of the first show and which, but for the timely intervention of the element of luck, might have resulted seriously for one or more members of the crowd, should be thoroughly and vigorously investigated and it should be guaranteed the colored citizens of this town by the city authorities that a reocurrence of this and similar affairs will not take place. The incident was the outcome of an endeavor on the part of those inside the theatre who had seen the first show to effect an exit through the overwhelming crowd which had gathered for the second performance of the evening. It was a good natured holiday crowd impregnated with all the hilarity of the Xmas season, and the contest between those two masses of people, one within and one without, would have been interesting and would, no doubt, have spent its force before any harm was done or much ting lost, thereby allowing both sides to gain their cherished goals, except for the arrival of two policemen who upon seeing the crowded sidewalk and packed entrances to the theatre rode straightforward into the crowd, pushing them from one side to the other, urging their horses upon the heels of those who could not get out of the way and all but striking them with their clubs. In their desire to evade the hoofs of the rearing and prancing steeds of the policemen, women sought refuge in the enclosures of the adjoining stoops only to be driven out by the officers and to be ordered in language most unbecoming gentlemen and officers of the law to move on. This attack was most uncalled for and those officers who undertook to regulate this surging mass of humanity did more by their rough tactics to create a panic than to assist in restoring order. We do not criticise them for interfering and trying to aid the theatrical management on this occasion but we do most candidly and vehemently condemn them for paying such little regard for the safety of the women and children in the crowd and for the use of such obscene language as came forth from the lips of one of them. We do not believe, in fact we know from previous instances of the kind having been summarily dealt with, that the head of the police department and those immediately associated with him will permit such matters to escape their attention and that they will, in due course of time, see that we as respectable and law abiding citizens, receive fair and impartial treatment at the hands of all members of the police department. This is but a reasonable request we make of the gentlemen whose duty it is to inforce law and order and to safeguard the lives of all citizens. Georgia Social Link. tion and installation of officers for the ensuing year were carried out. Officers elected were as follows: Mr. Samuel Washington, president; Mrs. Sarah J. Edwards, vice president; Mrs. Rachel Carr Davis, financial secretary; Mrs. Mary Brogsdale Fitchett, recording secretary; Mrs. Josephine Shepherd, treasurer; Mrs. L. S. Stevens, chaplain. The officers were installed by Dr. L. M. Holmes. A vote of thanks was extended to the past officers for the good work done by them in the past year. There being no further business meeting was adjourned, the parties then retiring to the dining room where a bountiful collation was served, prepared by the chairman Mrs. N. B. Waters. It consisted of rolls, coffee, chicken salad, punch, ice cream, cake and frozen pudding. IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE. F. B. B. Church. F. B. B. Church. On Friday afternoon Dec. 23rd, quite a large committee of the Reformatory Club met at the residence of Rev. Wright to prepare baskets of groceries to be taken to the poor and needy of the church. A large number of baskets was sent around. This club is two months old and already has done much to relieve suffering humanity. There was a very large crowd at our communion on Sunday. All seemed to realize that it was the last for the year. At night Rev. Wright read for the lesson Ps. 27:1-15. His text was from Gen. 15:1. The subject was "God is the shield of the righteous." The sermon was filled with many beautiful thoughts. His advice to the young and thoughtless was very timely just at this season of year. The choir sang "Fear not" Rev. Wright led the hymn "Amazing grace." He very touchingly invited those who felt the need of prayer to the mercy seat. A large number bowed and Lic. Stewart made a soul stirring prayer. Attend our services at any time you will be benefitted. F. A. B. Church. The pastor Rev. W. L. Jones, preached a beautiful sermon on last Sunday morning at the F. A. B. Church from St. Mark 11th chapter, 24th verse; subject "The kind of prayer to make to be answered." His sermon was indeed instructive and edifying and seemingly accomplished much. Seldom has the pipe organ in the church ever softly pealed forth a sadder funeral dirge than it did on last Sunday afternoon when the remains of Messrs. Mack Cum mings and Alex. N. Thomas were brought into the church. The funeral rites were performed by the pastor in a most solemn manner. Both deceased were members of the same church and orders and had an attendance at their funeral commendable to their rank in church and orders. The Sunday School held its exercises at evening. The program was carried out with credit. On Monday an elaborate spread was had for the poor. Many baskets of groceries and other provisions were distributed and a first class dinner served. Enough eatables were left for many more despite the charitableness of the members of the church that made the event possible. The covenant meeting on Thursday, evening was quite reviving and evidence of a glorious communion on tomorrow, at 3:30 o'clock p. m. An invitation is extended to each pastor, officer and member of all sister churches to participate. In the death of Mrs. Flora Young the church has lost a valuable member, who could be relied upon whenever duty was called. Her funeral was largely attended on last Tuesday evening at the church by friends and members of the church and various organizations of which she was a member. The pastor officiated. The grim reaper death has visited the flock of the church - frequently within the past month or more and has taken some of the most faithful members; yet the church bows in humble submission to the will of God. The church extends its deepest sympathy to the Bethlehem Baptist Church in the demise of their pastor Rev. L. L. Blair, during the week. Each member is asked to enjoin himself with the financial plan instituted by the pastor and officers, for an express purpose; beginning with the New Year. Be on hand at each service of the church to hear them. An invitation is extended the public to attend each service of the church. Mt. Zion Church; We hope to have good attendance to morrow as we intend making the services interesting. The church roll will be called just after 11 o'clock service, as is our usual custom, and we ask that all members come prepared for the same. On Monday night after the first Sunday, our regular conference will take place. There is some very important business to be attended to. The pastor would like to have all members present to help formulate plans for our future building. Visiting friends and the public are always welcome. First Congregational Church. The First Congregational Church, Rev. W. L. Cash, pastor. At 11 a.m. a New Year's sermon will be preached by the pastor. Special music will be rendered by the choir. Evening worship at 8 o'clock at which service the Holy Communion will be administered. A free-will offering for the benefit of the poor will be taken. The week of prayer will be observed by the church, beginning Monday night Jan. 2nd, and continuing through Friday night. The following are the topics for the week, viz: Prayer for a vision of God's will and to overcome life's ills and foes. Prayer for the Holy Spirit in the church for conversion. Prayer for the children and youth of the church that they may become the children of God. Answered prayers, the fact and the conditions of successful prayer. A missionary offering will be taken on Thursday night. The services will begin promptly at 8 o'clock and continue one hour. A cordial invitation is extended to every one to attend these meetings. There will be watch services at the church Saturday night, beginning at 11 o'clock and continuing for one hour. You are cordially invited to attend this service. WILLIAM A. ROBISON, Teacher of Violin, Violinist at Pekin Theatre 707 MONTGOMERY STREET Mr. D.C. Parkhurst, the dairyman, died on Sunday. He left a large number of relatives. Mr. Tony Steele, a well known citizen, died while visiting his daughter in Beaufort last week. His remains were brought to the city and were buried from the Second Baptist Church Wednesday afternoon. Rev. L. L. Blair of Bethlehem Baptist Church after a very short illness succumbed to death on last Sunday morning and was buried Thursday afternoon. Rev. Blair was one of the most progressive and wide awake ministers in the city. He was a thorough Christian gentleman and a man whose influence for good will be greatly missed. Rev. Blair was much beloved by his congregation and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. The deceased leaves a wife, four children and many friends to mourn his death. Mrs. Matilda Davis, departed this life Dec. 19th. She was buried from her late residence on Dec. 21st.- The funeral was conducted by her pastor, Rev W. L. Jones. She was one of the oldest members of the First A. B. Church and only a few remain of her type. She was a loyal and dutiful member to her church, always willing to do her duty as a christian. She lived a christian life up to her death. Well might we join in with the poet, and say, "Fight on my soul till death shall bring thee to thy God." She leaves one son, Mr. J. H. Davis, and a host of friends to mourn her departure. On the 5th, of December Mr. David R. Adams after an illness five days passed away. Mr. Adams was the son of the late Toby and Opolenia W. Adams brother to Mrs. Anna B. G. (Adams) Carr, nephew of the late Henry Giles and the late Mrs. John Cox. The funeral service were conducted by Rev. Weston from St. Augustine Mission, West Broad and Bolton, of which he was a member and officer and were very impressive. Mr. Adams for many years was engaged as coachman for the family of Mr. Solomon and and also that of Mr. S. P. Hamilton, after which he was employed by city till his death. He was a loyal citizen, a loving brother, a faithful father and a devoted husband. He left to mourn his loss a wife of the second marriage, Elizabeth Adams; a son, John L. Adams, a stepson Andrew Cockran, a sister Mrs. A. B. G. Carr and a nephew Edward H. Carr. Pekin Theatre. The bill at the Pekin this week is up to the high pace set by this popular playhouse, and as usual, the house is filled every night by audiences which show their approval of the good things seen. Mr. James Day in a clever devised skit invoked laughter and lots of fun. Miss Margie Crosby, a winsome miss, sings and dances. well, her songs are catchy and her articulation is very pleasing. Mr. Thomas Young a monologue artist, is applauded liberally. Miss Julia Jones in the song, Casey Jones, is highly appreciated. May and May known as "Stringbeans and Stringbeans," playing a return date here, bring a house of applause. The talk between the team is witty, and fills the house with laughter. An added attraction to the bill is the stock act closing the bill featuring Mme. Rae Nicholas the little Prima Donna singing the sweet ballad. entitled "Dreaming of Love." - Madame Nicholas is assisted in her chorus by Miss Margie Crosby, Miss Bessie Oliver, Mrs. Alma May, Miss Julia Jones, Messrs. Thomas Scott, James Day, Thomas Young, and Butler May. Next week there'll be new faces. Mrs. Pauline Crampton, of Chicago, will play a return date. Mrs. Crampton made a host of friends while here who will be glad to see her back. Miss 'Goldie Reed of Cleveland is very clever.' Hello New Year! What's up now?

Vane of the most interesang Ce ae the holiday season, was the marriage of Miss Laura McDowell to Mr, Walter San- ford Scott, at Sth Stephen’s Episcopal Church on last uesday night. In-all details of the decorations of the church the holiday season was charmingly sug- gested by the color scheme, re and green. Toe ceTenionys performed, by Archdeacon Richard Bright, took place amid a veritable bower of smilax and palms which, together with the graceful pose of the bridal party, presented a seene strikingly beautiful. . The bride was attended by a maid of honor, her sister, Miss Cornelia Me- Dowell, three bridesmaids, Miss Victoria Bishop’ of New York City, Miss Alice Castor, of Natchez, Miss., Miss Fannie Deveaux of this city and a flower girl, little Miss Annulette McDowell, “all be- comingly gowned in white dresses and red sashes. The four groomsmen, Mr. Shelton Bishop of New York City, Messrs. Joseph Garey, Robert Scott and “Duniya Scott, were attired in the con- ventional evening dress. 7 The ¢harming and beautiful bride wore a most elaborate creation of the latest design of crepe meteor. The entire dress and French train were trimmed with lace from her mother’s wedding dress. The waist was surplus draped and trimmed with crystal and earl hands. ‘The tucked panel in the Beautifully draped shirt was ornament. ed with pearl and crystal bands and rosettéz of the material. The bridal xg which hung to the end of the ‘Bes was gracefully caught with orange blossoms. The bride carried a magnificent bouquet of carnations and ferns. A more entrancingly beautiful bride could scarcely be imagined.

Professor Fish- r is a graduate of Tuskegee institute, fiatans, and- ‘has taken -higa rank SBmong thé foremost writers of the country, especially on “Economics. His subject was, “Has the Negro Kept Faith?” He said, in part: ‘It is in order to ask what are the fSegroes’ hopes? To what is he look- ing as the years come and go? I re- ply that” first of all we owe it to mil- lious of my race to tell what they are not striving to obtain. Unfortun- ately for the Negro, an impression amounting to a positive conviction has laid hold upon vast numbers of winte Americans to the effect that the most ardent hope of the race to which 1 belong is that some day it may lose its tdentity and be merged with the Caucasian people into a dis- tinet race type yet to appear upon the North Ameri¢an continent. With all the earnestness of my soul, ‘and with the conviction that this im- “pression has doné untold injury to the Negro in tie United States, 1 want to declare that such fusion and amalgamation to do not compose the “fabric of the Negroes’ dreams. 1 owe it to all candor and to him whose vatal-day we celebrate to speak thus frankly of the position on this ques- tion of many thoughtful Negro citi- zens who are seeking to justify the faith of Theodore Parker in the try- ing days gone by. How easily we could adjust alt questions which grow ‘out of the presence of the Negro in the United States if it were not for this potential submergence of the two races. But since we can not argue away the problem, it is our duty to allay fears by emphasizing the fact that this race fusion to the point of jthe submergence of either the Negro ‘or the Caucasian {s extremely improb- able. } “Not only is the Negro not earn- lestly seeking for physical union with fother races, but I am glad to be able {to report that he, too, is studying the peience of eugenics, and is beginning ito discover that his own race has ‘certain great qualities, which ought ‘not to perish through the blentling ‘ot diverse races. And the Negro in the future will most respectfully de- cline to be cast into Zangwill’s great auelting pot; and, more than tals, we ‘are developing men and women who have the broader vision of life, and “ho have the courage constantly to remind the race that the color of the skin and the curl of the hair are of in the final analysis, a race will be .eternal qualittes of the heart; that in teh final analysis, a race will be Judged, not by the color of its skin, but by the equity of its deeds. We -are beginning to understand that in ‘the converse With truth, all men speak “the same language, and that in the higher and more fundamental things fof this world a man may have a black skin and yet find room enough there- funder for all of his powers, and he ‘ought to hold every achievement fvhich he makes sacredly in trust for fhe honor and glory of his own race fand for the good of the world. But % submit to our white friends North “and South, who are disturbed over WAYSIDE WISDOM. , The qualities of a new friend al- sways"seem to have more of a glamour than those of an old one: cee If it were tot for some marriages, ne would inesitate to believe that Yove is blind. - . se @ Many a narrow-minded man is éwell-headed, : one , Ab, that any heart should hold so fittie hope as just to be epee 4 The disagreeable things about pperentare is that you never survive he only one that is really worth boasting about. . s of @ i$ It is strange how unimportant the fhe morning after looks on the day Gefore. . : : ese * prosperity is the mother of osten- gation, . - eee | Some of our heaviest chains are forged out ol the desire to be free, -|ee Why is it that so many self-made men look like the Creator's rejected xperiments? ” .

This they cannot do at pres- ent, and they ofteh find themselyes laughed out of court because of tais fact, when they attempt to make the seme ifight for racial aloofness that you are making. Nevetheless, there is growing up a healthful race pride everywhere and a commendable racial solidarity.” Professor Fisher said further that sith reference to the matter of crime among Negroes, it would be well to remember that the emigrants coming to the United States from Mexico, Italy, Austria, France, Canada and Russia, have a larger number of com- mitments to prison per thousand of population than has the Negro. Also he Indicated the loyalty of the Negro lo this government and concluded this topic with these words: “When- ever his country needed him and the call to arms has sounded ne itas ral Hed around the flag from the hillsides and the plains, and to the American people at large, to all who spoke and suffered and fought that he might be heard. I bring the message from my people that if any man Or set of men attempt to lay untioly hands upon the “stars and stripes” or to aumble the proud ensign of our land, if you will only call the roll of patriots, we'll be there to offer our Ives ag the highest measure and loyalty to our land and country.” In summing up the hopes and de sires of the Negro, the speaker said: This, ladies and gentlemei, is the faith that the Negro has kept with the friends of freedom; and he stands an humble supplicant before the bar of public opinion asking, now, if the ‘American people will keep faith with him—whether the rulers‘ of the land will give him all the rewards of citi- zenship if he discharge all the duties pertaining thereto. “AN that the Negro asks for in America is that the ‘golden rule’ be applied to him just as it is applied to any other race. He asks for no special favors not given to other cit- yens; he does not desire Anarchy; he would not knowingly rend in twain the fabric of our government; he would not wittingly set brother against brother; he merely wishes the opportunity of most complete devel- opment and expression. He wants to weep when the nation weeps, to re- joice in ner days of gladness, to help carry her burdens, and to share her prosperity. “Tired of the strife for better things? No; the Negré rested two hundréd and fifty years; discouraged? again, no. He is just beginning to hoper “Satisfied with what be has done and what he is? By no means, The fires of ambition kindled within him by contact with American civilization aave just begun to burn, and be wul qeser” be content until, in the full stature of most useful manbood, he writes his name in bold relief upon the nobie record of these times as a worker for the common good.” A Miscalcutation. ‘Mrs. Knicker—“Do you give aim a good dinner before you ask him for a new -dress?” * Mrs, Bocker—"No. When he feels happy and satisfied he goes out and buys’ himself @ brand new and dread- fully expensive outfit, and forgets about me."—Harper’s Bazar.

GOVERNOR ADDRESSED” BAPTIST CONVENTION GOV. GEORGE W. DONAGHEY oF ARKANSAS TALKED TO BAP- TISTS AT LITTLE ROCK. RECEIVED A GREAT OVATION ‘The Governor Gave the Convention Some Good Sound Advice and Truths. Little Rock, Ark-—(Special.)—Led by Prof. Joseph A, Booker, the presi- dent of the Arkansas Baptist college, 3,000 members of the Arkansas Bap- tist. State convention, sang: “Steal Away to Jesus,” a3 Gov. George W. Donaghey entered the First Baptist church, where the convention was in session, and where ae had been invit- ed to make an address. The convention was very anxious to see the governor of Arkansas, and in & way show their appreciation for his fair dealing with the race. After the song, Dr..E. C. Morris, president ot “the convention, introduced the speak. er. He said: “I have the honor as well as the please of introducing to you the ‘greatest governor of the greatest state in tae union. It affords me the greatest ‘pleasure to have the highest official of our commonwealth come before the representatives of 3,000 church members and the representa- tives of one-fourth of the population of Arkansas. Our good governor shows that the people whom he addresses sare owners of 9,000 farms and pay over $250,000 annually to support the local and state, governments.” An ovation ‘greeted tae governor which lasted for fully five minutes. ‘The governor said: 7 | “Mr, Chairman, members of the Ar- kansas Baptist State convention, my ‘colored friends and visitors. It 1s not for any political purpose I come to talk to you. It is not for the purpose of getting your votes, this you know as well as I do, because your people do not vote much. This perhaps is best for yau. The greatest man in your race has said that you should ‘keep out of politics, and in this I agree with him. I taink it best that you should keep out of politics and look after the condition of your peo- ple, and in this you have as much as you can do. “The possibility fo do anything de- pends upon the opportunity. , Now some of you may say that you have not had the opportunity, but you have. It makes no difference who you are, you have an opportunity to do. Taere are three things that will not come back to us, past lives, spoken words and opportunities lost. “You should take advantage of your financial opportunties. The achievement of success in this world is not by accident, but by labor. It is not an accident that helps one in this world} it fs mature thought and good judgment. . = You must first settle on what you are going to do and then apply your- self to it, There is a peculiar thing about your people, when they get hola’ of land they hold on to it. A plece of land in Arkansas is like a mule, no matter what you pay for It you make money on it, Buy land, pay for it and if you do,this I need not tell you to keep it, for you are going to do that. Get thd land, cult!- vate it, and keep out of politics, and you will build up your race.” Rey. Dr. J. P. Robinson moved a vote of thanks for the governor and Doctor Morris in putting the motion motion said that while the Negro did ‘not vote, he would pray that the gov- ‘ernor would take his place by the ‘side of the senlor senator of Arkansas ia the United States.

Frankfort, Ky.—(Speciat.)—Eleven Negroes, convicted of the murder of one white man and the wounding of another, were pardoned out of the penitentiary at one stroke of the pen by Governor Wilson. The Négroes were convicted of the killing of a traveling man named Berry, from Lou- isyille, following an attempt to lynch 8 Negro in Webster county There jwas a clash between some white men pnd‘a crowd of Negroes, and in the shooting the white man was killed and another wounded. The case attracted much attention in western Kentucky. The pardoning of eleven men at one time is the largest number of pardons ever issued at one time in the his- tory of Kentucky, except on the oc- |easion -that Governor Blackburn par- ‘doned a large number of convirts be- cause the penitentiary was over- frowaea. { Governor Willson issued a state- ment when he granted the pardons, deploring the fact that such conditions ‘of unfairness should exist in Ken- tucky. Governor Willson said: “It is @ sorrow to every man who honors and loves Kentucky that such a story as this could be true in any county in Kentucky, ‘and it ig a matter of especial regret that such a story could be true in a good county ke Web- ster county.” WHITE MAN HELPS NEGRO.

Washington Yesterday I enjoyed the rare privilege of hearing for the first time that interesting and remarkable man, Dr Booker T. Washington. In a very long experience of public speaking, I cannot recall many things more genuinely moving than the speech which I heard Doctor Washington deliver. It was quite unstudied—or rather, it gave the impression of being so. There were no "set pieces" or rhetoric. But, on the other hand, there were no pauses or repetitions—no fumbling for words and phrases. The form and matter could not have been better after laborious preparation, and yet the delivery had all the charm of unpremeditated ease. For nearly three-quarters of an hour Doctor Washington, without effort and without a single note, held the rapt attention of his audience, making even facts and figures appear not indigestible to the post-prandial appetite, enunciating principles and aspirations with persuasive force, and illuminating argument with apt and pointed anecdote in the manner which Americans have incomparably made their own. He possesses an extremely pleasing and flexible voice, and his accent is exactly that of the educated American. Shutting one's eyes, it would be impossible to know that a Negro was speaking. Everyone, of course, has heard of Booker Washington as the second great liberator of the Negro race in America. To Abraham Lincoln belongs the honor of having released the Negro from slavery; but that was only the first step in the service of freedom. What remained to be done was to make the liberated race "economically valuable," as Doctor Washington expressed it—to reconcile them to labor and to equip them for it; and to secure for them an indispensable place in the social system of the great republic. That was a huge task, for the consequences and traditions of servitude remained long after the servitude itself had been ended. America has been faced with one of the most anxious and difficult problems that could confront statesmanship—a fast-growing population of ten millions to whom the rights of citizenship SNAP SHOTS. Hunger creates disease as well as consumption causes death. If cleanliness is next to Godliness, what about the ragged boys and filthy people on the streets, will they go to hell? If obedience is better than sacrifice and if God will hear prayer, why not all men draw near to Him and lessen crime, then the hearts of poor mothers will cease to ache and taere will be no cause for them to shed tears. How can you report for the wise and intelligent who have spent years in trying to extinguish ignorance, yet they do the same things the ignorant do, they have the same hatred toward each other; but the public sees their actions and their own conduct condemns them.—Charleston Messenger. Pointed Paragraphs. Advice to a girl who would be a housekeeper: First catch a husband possessing a house. The treacherous nature repels friendship as easily as it attracts mere acquaintance. A good start promises a fair continuance, but promises never have buttered one's bread. A coquette wants flattery and more of it, provided she can't tell where the germ of truth dissolved.

At all times it is kindness which wins the greatest victory. could not be denied, but who were sharply divided by race and color from the rest of the community, and admittedly inferior in character and capacity. There were some students of the problem who thought and hoped that the Negro would die out. He has multiplied exceedingly. There were others who held that his power of development was narrowly and unalterably limited. That idea Dr. Booker Washington set himself to destroy by organizing the machinery for the systematic training of his race. The results of his labors, over a generation, have been materially to alter the aspect of the problem and to provide by far the most hopeful chance of its successful solution. He himself, of course, is an exceptional man. His ability would have brought him to the front had he been pure white. But he is a standing and living proof of what the potentiality of the Negro race is. The people who can produce such a man are obviously not incapable of rising to a very high degree of civilization. If all the ten millions of Negroes in America were Dr. Booker Washington, there would be not race problem in America; and it has been his noble mission in life to help to make his fellows what he is himself. What struck one in listening to him was the unconstrained frankness with which he referred to the color bar, and the tact with which he handled certain delicate aspects of the problem. "We may as well take off the bark, and speak frankly," was his way of putting it, and he illustrated the situation very happily with an anecdote.—By "Trumpen," in Liverpool Courier. Historical. "Come, come," said Captain Kidd, approaching the center of disturbance abaft the binnacle, "we can't be all day about the thing. What's the trouble? Can't you persuade the prisoner to walk the plank?" The grizzled old bo'sun shook his head despairingly. "No, captain," he said, "he absolutely refuses to be, a part of the spectacle unless we guarantee him a percentage of the moving picture rights." —London Globe.

Harold is the youngster's name, and next door lives another boy by the name of Dewey. They are each seven years old, and like most children of their age are disposed to get into mischief as often as possible. Several days ago they found a man's coat lying on the front pavement while the owner was fixing a gas main. From the pockets of the coat the two boys abstracted several tickets, and when Harold's mother found it out she made him return the tickets and explained the sin which he had committed, warning him to pray that he be forgiven that night. He obeyed, and while on his knees added a prayer for Dewey as well. The next night Harold's mother was in the next room when he said his prayers, and she heard him ask God to forgive' Dewey for stealing a piece of cake. On the following evening he again was moved to ask forgiveness for his friend, this time for stealing three pieces of candy. Apparently his patience was exhausted, for the next evening his mother was in the adjoining room when he offered his evening prayer, and this is what she heard: "Gosh darn it, God, I have done the best I could for Dewey. I guess you will have to watch him yourself."—Philadelphia Record. HIRAM CARPENTER'S WONDERFUL CURE OF PSORIASIS. "I have been afflicted for twenty years with an obstinate skin disease, called by some M. D.'s psoriasis, and others leprosy, commencing on my scalp; and in spite of all I could do, with the help of the most skilful doctors, it slowly but surely extended until a year ago this winter it covered my entire person in the form of dry scales. For the last three years I have been unable to do any labor, and suffering intensely all the time. Every morning there would be nearly a dust-panful of scales taken from the sheet on my bed, some of them half as large as the envelope containing this letter. In the latter part of winter my skin commenced cracking open. I tried everything, almost, that could be thought of, without any relief. The 12th of June I started West, in hopes I could reach the Hot Springs. I reached Detroit and was so low I thought I should have to go to the hospital, but finally got as far as Lansing, Mich., where I had a sister living. One Dr. — treated me about two weeks, but did me no good. All thought I had but a short time to live. I earnestly prayed to die. Cracked through the skin all over my back, across my ribs, arms, hands, limbs; feet badly swollen; toe-nails came off; finger-nails dead and hard as a bone; half dead, dry and lifeless as old straw. O my God! how I did suffer. "My sister wouldn't give up; sald, 'We will try Cuticura.' Some was applied to one hand and arm. Eurekal there was relief; stopped the terrible burning sensation from the word go. They immediately got Cuticura Resolvent, Ointment and Soap. I commenced by taking Cuticura Resolvent three time a day after meals; had a bath once a day, water about blood heat; used Cuticura Soap freely; applied Cuticura Ointment morning and evening. Result: returned to- my home in just six weeks from the time I left, and my skin as smooth as this sheet of paper. Hiram E. Carpenter, Henderson, N. Y." The above remarkable testimonial was written January 19, 1850, and is republished because of the permanency of the cure. Under date of April 22, 1910, Mr. Carpenter wrote from his present home, 610 Walnut St. Sc. Lansing, Mich.: "I have never suffered a return of the psoriasis and although many years have passed I have not forgotten the terrible suffering I endured before using the Cuticura Remedies." What Impressed Him: W. H. Child, president of the Yellowstone Park association, went to Europe two or three years ago and had for a companion a man interested in the hotel business. They traveled over Europe, investigating hotel and commissary problems to some extent, and finally arrived in Rome. They went into St. Peter's and stood beneath the dome. "Well," said Child, "here it is. Here's the dome." The hotel man took one look forward. Then he turned to Child and asked: "How much did that man in London say he wanted for them hams?" Not What He Asked For. A small boy hurried into the corner butcher shop and, told the proprietor his mother wanted a nice, tender turkey for Thanksgiving, and she wanted it dressed. The butcher selected just such a bird from the lot in the window, and said, with satisfaction: "Here's a dandy, my boy—just what your mother wants!" "No, it ain't!" returned the youth. "That turkey hasn't any clothes on." Judge. The man who talks about himself is exceedingly interesting—to the talker. Mild Mannered Little Man Has Very Embarrassing Experience on Street. He was a mild-mannered little man, short, with gray hair and spectacles. It was noon on Washington street, and as usual the crowds were shoving and pushing to get somewhere. The little man was trying to worm his way through the crowds. A well-dressed woman, accompanied by a small boy, was mixed up in the crowd. She wanted to cross the street. The boy stopped to look in a window. The lady reached down and grasped a hand, saying: "Take my hand, dear." "Not right here . on the public street," she was startled to hear some one reply. Looking down she saw that she was clasping the hand of the very inoffensive little man, who seemed to be much confused and embarrassed. "Sir!" said she, haughtily, "I don't want you; I want my son."—Boston Traveler. He Won. Ex-Gov. Bob Taylor of Tennessee was once entertaining a northern guest, who was rather skeptical about the prevailing dialect in stories of southern negroes. He thought it overdrawn. To disprove the contention Mr. Taylor laughingly made a wager with his guest that the northerner would be unable to interpret the language of the first negro they met. Accordingly, they set out and presently came upon a black man basking indolently in the sun. Telling his friend to pay close heed, Mr. Taylor stepped up to the negro, and demanded, suddenly: "Weh he?" The negro blinked his eyes stolidly, and then answered in a guttural voice: Wah who?"—Everybody's. Wants a Long Engagement. "Do you believe in long engagements?" he asked after she had consented to be his. "Yes, dearest," she replied. "I have always thought it was such a mistake for two people to rush into matrimony before they learned to really know each other." "Well, about how long would you wish the engagement to be?" "Let me see. Would you think it was too long if we did not get married until a week from next Thursday?" Precaution.

Doctor Lyons, who spent two weeks in London, returns to the United States optimistic as to the future of Liberia and speaks highly of the citizens of the little republic and the great fight they are making for independence. While in London he was entertained by Doctor Faulkner, who is abroad in the interest of ratifying the agreement between France, England and the United States for the refunding of the Liberian national debt. When Dr. Lyon left London every indication pointed to the complete success of the negotiations. Governmental affairs are practically at a standstill in Liberia because every one is awaiting the outcome of the conferences being held by representatives of the three powers relative to jointly assuming the republic's debt," declared Doctor Lyon. "Nothing of importance is being done pending the consummation of the loan. "I do not hesitate to state that unless the American Government goes further than refunding the Liberian debt the country will not be much better off. It will also be necessary for the investment of American capital in developing the resources of the country. If this is not done the country will not profit a great deal for the reason that it will cost Liberia more money than at present to run the government after the debt has been refunded. "If the loan is made it will necessitate the establishment of four new government positions which will be a large expense. First, there will have to be a general receiver, who will evidently be a representative of the United States. His salary will probably be several thousand dollars a year; then there will be three assistant receivers who will represent the other powers. An agricultural expert will have to be appointed also. The salaries drawn by these officials will be quite a drain on the treasury of Liberia. "Then there is another aspect—the reorganization of the frontier force. It is the plan of the government-to keep on duty a trained force of from three hundred to five hundred soldiers which will be as efficient as those who were used by the British and French colonies. There is no doubt in my mind that under the direction of Lieut. Dav- With the Paragraphers The Dayton Newt says: "Regardless of who is to be speaker of the next house of representatives, our old friend the ship subsidy promises to be found sitting on the doorstep when the session opens." This will be its last chance. Next year it will be in the garbage can. The Washington Star says: "No ill-advised friend has succeeded in persuading Mr. Lorimer of Illinois to step forward and claim that the recent elections constitute a national vindication of himself." He doubtless gets a lot satisfaction, however, out of the condemnation of the man who refused to sit with him at a banquet. The Troy Press says: 'Democrats merely have to hold their own to elect a Democratic president in 1933 by a large plurality. Heretofore big gains were necessary to success; now it is the Republican party that's in this predicament." Right you are. If the Democrats will only hold their own until midnight March 4, 1913, they will hold the whole business afterward. Uncle Henry Gassaway Davis wants to go to the United States senate from West Virginia. Some one should put Unk Hank wise to the fact that it wasn't that sort of a Democratic victory.—Allentown Democrat. Still, If Uncle Henry wishes to gass away to his heart's content, the senate is the only body we know that would not check the flow. The Atlanta Constitution says: They are still wrangling about the forests, but there is nothing at all the matter with the Democratic timber. So little of it has been used during recent years that it ought to be plentiful if there is anything in conservation. Congressman William B. Suizer of New York has announced that he is a candidate for Democratic speaker of the house. He is a pretty good man, but the probability is that the Hon. Champ Clark has decided not to have any opposition for speaker—Wilmington Star. At any rate, Mr. Sulzer's candidacy will wind up in a lizz. The Albany Journal says: "The lone Socialist in the house of representatives will not have a sociable time." That depends. If he considers himself as an individual Socialist he will have no company, but if he rates himself as a party he will have two big companions. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. A copy of the old block is kindling for a fire to burn the money the other is worth. is the soldiers will be a credit to Liberia. "The failure of the United States Senate to endorse the plan of Secretary of State Knox for the United States to assume the entire debt of Liberia without the help of the other powers has given the enemies of Liberia an opportunity to try and show that the United States did not want to aid Liberia. However, these arguments have not been given much serious consideration. "There has been a great deal of talk about America establishing a protectorate over Liberia, but the European powers do not believe in such rumors, it being well known, that these reports are circulated for political purposes on the part of some of the powers interested." "Should Liberia become a successful republic it would mean the exodus of a large number of intelligent black people from these colonies. The tendency of the age is toward a Republican from of government, as the masses are becoming distructful of the principles of monarchy. "There is very little freedom on the western coast of Africa outside of Liberia in the sense that we Americans understand the term. The American Negro is regarded as an objectionable and dangerous element because the whites governing these places know that the American Negro will demand his rights. "Of course the chances offered in Liberia are great, but in many of the colonies on the west coast of Africa a dozen or two Europeans boss the whole business. I repeat, there is no place in West Africa for the Negro but Liberia. "In Liberia there are at present also many drawbacks, but there are but few countries where there are not. What Liberia needs today is new blood of a select kind—that class of men with initiative and pluck. To this class of men the country offers many advantages, and any man of that calibre who aspires to add himself to the civilized population of Liberia can successfully do so. "There is one piece of advice I want to give to those who are ambitious to go to Liberia, and that is, do not become a citizen of that country for the express purpose of entering politics. Find employment in another direction and it will pay you better in the end." If cow weighing 1000 pounds can consume 30 pounds of alfalfa hay daily she should produce in the neighborhood of 25 pounds of 4 per cent milk. There are very few cows, however, that will take care of as much roughage as this. Much depends on the price of dairy products whether it will pay to add meal to supplement the alfalfa hay and 8 pounds barley meals should produce 30 pounds of 4 per cent milk. In the latter ration, making the ration with the barley meal afford to spend 7 cents more per day for the extra amount of milk received.—Hoard's Dairyman. NAME THE FARM. In Scotland it has long been the custom to name farms and the farmer is spoken of and addressed by the name of his farm. Here in this country few farmers dignify their habitations by a name. A suitable name for a farm suggests refinement, education and permanency. A farm name is important as a matter of mere sentiment. The dignity of a name for the permanent home a farmer has built for his loved ones should commend itself to him. Besides the farmer should identify himself to the public the same as any other business man. Curious Condensations The free public library for Winnetka, Ill., which was begun by the late Mrs. Jessie Bross Lloyd as a memorial to her husband, Henry D. Lloyd, has been completed by their sons, John and Henry D. Lloyd, and presented to that village as a memorial of both parents. It is reported that a considerable part of the biography of Frederick the Great, which the kaiser is understood to be writing, is already completed. The kaiser is credited with treating his subject with strict impartiality notwithstanding his entouplastic admiration for his ancestor.

A - FIT SUBJECT FOR 'SERMONS. Charleston News and Courier Prints Strong Editorial on Negro Problem. Charlestonu, S. C.—(Special.)—We wish that more pastors of Southern churches would take occasion to talk to their congregations from their pupils with regard to the Negro problem in the frank and sanely suggestive spirit which marked the sermon delivered at the First Presbyterian church in this city by the Rev. Dr. Alexander Sprunt. Doctor Sprunt mentioned a conversation with a dignitary of another church, who remarked that his congregation resented their duty to the black man. We cannot believe that such a spirit would be generally manifested; but if so there is the more reason why ministers should give this matter their earnest consideration and should present their views to the people whom they serve. So long as other sections of the country were determined to assume charge of the destinies of the black race and to settle the terms upon which the white people of the South must deal with the Negro it was altogether natural for the Southern whites, speaking generally, to center their thought and endeavor upon protecting themselves against the presumptions to which an ignorant race was being encouraged. Now that it is conceded by the body of Northerners and Westerners that it is unwise and positively dangerous for the rest of the nation to interfere with the South's handling of this great responsibility, we of this section must give more and more attention not merely to the protection of ourselves against the Negro, but to the protection of the Negro against himself. Doctor Sprunt's discourse last Sunday was along this line, a plea directed especially to the Christian, it is true, but a plea which urged not only the desirability and the duty of exercising an oversight as to the Negro's spiritual welfare, but which emphasized as well the importance of providing him with increased facilities for wise educational training and of joining hands in the effort to improve the conditions which surround him in his home life. There must be a general recognition among the white people of the South that their own welfare demands that they interest themselves actively in doing all that they can not only to increase the efficiency of the Negro as a workman, but to inculcate in him sound morals. The matter is one which we dare not neglect. It is one which with entire appropriateness may be presented from the pulpit. It is one which ought to be so presented.—Charleston News and Courier. Y. M. C. A. in Poughkeepsie. Paughkeepsie, N. Y.—(Special.)—That the colored women of this city desire to raise themselves to a higher plane and to receive the advantages of an instructive education is evidenced by an appeal which they have sent to the board of directors of the Young Women's Christian association, asking that a branch association might be organized for them somewhere in the city. Their evident need of this and the urgency of the appeal caused the association to act at once in the matter, and as a result a branch Y. M. C. A. has been opened in two rooms in Catherine street. This will be conducted under the general supervision of the Cannon Street Y. W. C. A. and the directors will look after the arrangement of affairs. Classes will be organized, where sewing, cooking and instruction in English and Bible study will be given by skilled instructors. An employment bureau will also be conducted in connection with the branch. Former Slave's Valuable Gift. Colorado, Springs, Col.—(Special), —James K. Polk Taylor, a wealthy colored man of the city, has given 480 acres of land near Calhan, forty miles east of this place, to the Charles Sumner Tuberculosis association, as a site for a national tuberculosis sanatarium for colored people. It is understood that $300,000 will be spent on the sanatarium. Mr. Taylor was formerly a slave, is now seventy-one years old, and is considered to be one of the wealthiest colored men in this section of the country. His gift will be greatly appreciated, and will be the means of doing much good. Engineers Interest in New Device. Stanford, Ky.—(Special.)—Railroad engineers are to be very much interested in the new coupling appraisus for trains patented by Dr. W. D. Tardiff of Stanford, Ky. The new device enables an engineer to unhook his engine without leaving his cab. It is both a convenience and a time saver. Doctor Tardiff has something which the railroads need and which many are anxious to purchase. Smith Looking for Men of His Class. Chicago.—(Special.)—Much interest has been aroused in lightweight pugilistic circles by the announcement that Bob (Kld) Smith, the clever lightweight pugilist, is scheduled to visit the United States soon. He is said to be very clever, and will seek to take on those of his class at an early date. He will probably make his first stop in Chicago. Ingratitude leaves a scar which no surgery can heal.

THANKS—CALL AGAIN Intelligence In Horses. "I was over at the Hippodrome not long ago to see and hear those talking birds and their display of intelligence made me think of the horses that we used to haul our street cars in the days before electricity was adopted as our motive power," said Mr. George Mulhern the other day. "I wouldn't want to swear to it, but I am almost willing to affirm that I have heard some of those horses say: 'Why don't you put on the brakes?' when the driver was asleep at an important stopping point. One ring of the bell was enough to tell them to stop at the next crossing, and no amount of persuasion would induce them to start until they heard the two clangs of the gong. "There was a sort of standing order in force then. If a driver brought in a horse with the mark of a whip on its hide he knew enough to turn in his badge and not attempt to make any explanations." Secret Societies Abolished. Secret societies have been abolished at Mount Holyoke college by a combined vote of the society members and the faculty. These secret societies had been in existence in Mount Holyoke for more than twenty-five years. The Dramatic club of the college has bought the American rights of the pastoral play "Fair Rosamond," with a set of costumes and properties for production. This play was first given by Lady Archibald Campbell's Pastoral players at the Cannilzar Woods, Wimbleton Common, England. The American rights weer later bought by Mrs. John V. Pruyn of Albany, who allowed the play to be given only when the proceeds were for some hospital work. After Mrs. Pruyn's death it was decided to sell the American rights and stage properties to some college organization rather than to a professional company. This play will probably be presented at the May day celebration. Morgan, Sentimentalist. The sentimentalist of the world of finance is J. Pierpont Morgan. He gives money widely and recklessly to help men who think they have some wonderful invention or other thing that will be a sensational benefit to the human race. A few years ago an electrical experimenter got some friends to obtain a hearing for him with Morgan. He had plans for the greatest of all inventions. He had no money himself; he had no backing. He went away with a fat check, but returned for more again and again. In the course of time he received $150,000 to perfect his wonder, but it was not perfected even then. He made a final appeal for $50,000 more. Morgan wanted to send it to him, but some of the other members of the firm induced the banker to shut down on the supplies until there should be more signs of making good. Finds No Hymns for Man. The Rev. Dr. William E. Barton of the First Congregational church, Oak Park, has discovered that there are no hymns for men in the hymn books. "In looking over the hymnals for hymns that would be suitable to go with a sermon on Christian Mangood." Le said. "I found material about 'Mother's Bible,' 'Mother's prayer,' Noters in Heaven," but so far as men are concerned either the altar, the church had no religion or the writers of hymns have not covered it."—Los Angeles Examiner.
