VOL. XXVI. FORTY-FIVE MEET SUDDEN DEATH Mysterious Taking Off of Brazilian Mutineers. GANGRENEI SUNSTROKE AND SUFFOCATION The Rigid Censorship Of News Dispatches Prevents Correspondents Sending News Of the Real Situation, Which Has Probably Been Critical Since the Rebellion On the Warships At Rio Janeiro—Nichteroy, Capital of State of Rio Janeiro, Under Martial Law. Rio Janelro (Special).—According to Friday's Journal de Commercio, Jean Candido, leader of the recent revolt in the navy, and 44 other mutineers have met sudden deaths. Candido succumbed to gangrene while a prisoner, 26 of his associates died from sunstroke while engaged in repairing the fortress on Cobras Island, and 18 others were suffocated in their cells in the prison on Villegain Island. A rigid censorship maintained by the government since the revolt in the navy was put down makes it impossible to confirm officially the rumors of recent rioting at Para and elsewhere in the republic. The censorship includes the newspapers here and extends to press dispatches called to other countries. Heathery, the capital of the State of Rio Janeiro, and situated across the harbor from the Federal capital, is under martial law. The presidents and two legislatures claim office at Heathery and troops occupy all the public buildings. Rioting At Para. When the latter of the two recent naval revolts in Brazil was put down, three weeks ago, it was announced that the mutinous sailors had been sent to states remote from Rio Janeiro, where they would be employed in the construction of highways and railroads. The mutineers had surrendered, and it was officially announced that the disorders were at an end. Since that time comparatively little news has been gotten out of the Brazilian capital, but there have been persistent rumors of disturbance in the State of Para, on the north coast, due to political dissatisfaction. Rioting is said to have occurred at Para, but confirmation or a denial from the government are lacking. Recently there have been two revolts in Brazil—one in the navy and the other by the naval battalion in barracks on Cobras Island, a short distance from Rio Janeiro. ONE KILLED, EIGHT INJURED. * Miners In An Accident At the Hammond Colliery Pottsville, Pa. (Special). — One anthracite mineworker was killed and eight others were seriously injured at the Hammond colliery of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company, Girardville. The men were being hoisted in a car and were pulled over the knuckle at the top of a timber slope, when the hoisting engineer left his post to attend to an air compressor. The car was pulled 100 feet through the side of the engine-house with the men inside it. Anthony O'Donnell, of Lost Creek, had his head squeezed off and the other eight men received fractured arms or legs. RISKED LIFE FOR KITTEN. Fireman Falls From House Climbing After Animal. New York (Special). — Anton Jiranck, a fireman, was fatally injured while trying to capture a black kitten at the petition of many tenement dwellers, whose rest had been disturbed by the animal's mournful yowls. In climbing after it Jiranck, who had been summoned from the nearest firehouse, fell to the cement walk. His skull was fractured and he received internal injuries, from which the doctors say he cannot recover. REWARDED FOR SACRIFICE. Man Gets $72 a Month Annuity For Yellow Fever Experiment. Washington, D. C. (Special). John R. Kissenger, the Indiana volunteer soldier, who allowed himself to be bitten by yellow fever mosquitos during the first American occupation of Cuba to demonstrate the theory of mosquito infection, was granted an annuity of $72 a month by the House of Representatives. The measure carrying relief for Kissenger, as it passed the Senate, granted him $125 a month. The Savannah Tribune. New and Old Governors Declare for Reforms Eugene N.

TRAIN HELD UP BY BANDITS Ogden, Utah (Special).—Southern Pacific passenger train No. 1, the Overland limited, westbound, was held up by two masked bandits at an early hour Tuesday morning at Reese, nine miles west of Ogden. William Davis, negro porter, was shot and instantly killed; A. W. Taylor, another porter, was mortally wounded and a passenger was slightly wounded. Twenty-seven passengers on the train were robbed of their valuables. The robbers did not attempt to enter the express car, but devoted their entire attention to the Pullman, where they made a rich haul among the California - bound passengers, holding the train for more than an hour. The train proceeded westward. No passengers escaped the robbers, and the trainmen also lost their money and jewelry. At 12.30 A. M., Conductor Cunningham advised the superintendent's office at this place of the hold-up. The sheriff and police department were immediately notified and posses left the city for the scene of the holdup in automobiles and on a special train. Posses from the nearby towns are working toward Reese. Two masked men stopped the train at the little watering station by throwing the red light on the signal stand toward the approaching locomotive. As it came to a standstill the bandits covered the engineer and firemen with their revolvers and held them until the conductor ran up to investigate the delay. He too, was placed under guard. One of the robbers left the trai- men in charge of his companion and started through the train from the forward end. He encountered two porters on his way and when they disregarded his commands he shot one down and wounded another. A curious passenger was also wounded. The shots aroused the occupants of the cars and when the holdup ap- peared with an open sack and a menacing pistol, the passengers,were perfectly willing to contribute to his collection. He went through the whole train, stopping at every berth and making a deliberate search. After completing the work the robbers drove away in a vehicle. About four miles from Reese they met two girls, who were returning home from a dance. One of the robbers very politely requested them to hand over their purses and to "beat it." Although frightened, the girls succeeded in getting a good description of the bandits, which tallied with that furnished by the passengers and train crew. After robbing the two girls, the daughters of Bishop Wayment, of the Mormon Church, at Warren, the highwaymen drove toward the city. DISCREDITS JAP SPY STORIES. President Says Japan Is As Anxious For Peace As America. Washington, D. C. (Special). President Taft has made it known that he gives no credence to reports that Japanese spies are active in the Philippines and has privately declared that despite jingo utterances in various quarters there is not the slightest prospect of trouble between America and Japan. In fact, the President has stated that in his opinion the outlook for peace in every quarter has never been more reassuring for the United States than at present, and that the actual relations with Japan are in the highest degree amicable. The best advicees that have come to him are to the effect that the Japanese government is just as anxious as America that friendly relations shall continue. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1911. GALLAGHER GETS 12 YEARS The Man Who Shot Mayor Gaynor is Convicted. New York (Special).—James J. Gallagher, who shot Mayor Gaynor last August, was sentenced Wednesday to 12 years' imprisonment. He was convicted in Jersey City on an indictment charging him not with shooting Mayor Gaynor, but with assaulting with intent to kill William H. Edwards, commissioner of street cleaning of New York. The jury was out 40 minutes, and the trial lasted but a portion of one day. In addition to the 12 years Gallagher will have to stay in prison until the cost of his prosecution has been paid by prison service. He showed no emotion when the verdict was read or sentence pronounced. Two of the men who found Gallagher guilty also served on the jury which declared him sane. Commissioner Edwards was the chief witness for the state. He recounted the scene on the deck of a transatlantic liner on the morning when Mayor Gaynor planned to sail for Europe. He told how he had seized Gallagher an instant after the shot which wounded the Mayor had been fired. Edwards grasped the prisoner about the waist to show just how he had been wounded by a second shot from Gallagher's revolver. Gallagher offered no objection to the illustration. Each side took 15 minutes to sum up. Gallagher's counsel declared that no evidence to show that his client had intentionally wounded the commissioner had been brought out. He said the shot was fired inadvertently during the struggle. The jury filed back into the room for further instructions after a few minutes' deliberation. The court was asked if the jury would be justified in finding a verdict of guilty if they did not believe that the shot which wounded Edwards was fired with intent to kill. They were informed that if they believed it was fired intentionally they would be justified in concluding that it was intended to kill. Judge Swayze announced that 10 days would be allowed the prisoner before commitment in which to file motions for appeal. BOY KILLS, GRANDMOTHER. Confesses Shooting Was Accidental After Father Is Arrested. Danville, Ky. (Special). After his father had been arrested in connection with the shooting to death of his grandmother, a five-year-old boy here confessed that he had shot her accidentally while pointing an old shotgun at her in fun. He hid in an outbuilding all night. The victim of what was at first believed to have been a murder was Mrs. Nancy Carter, 60 years old. Predicts Dire Times. Chicago (Special)—Drouths, killing frosts, earthquakes, crop failures and holocausts of all varieties—these are a few of the disasters which will come during 1911, according to Samuel George Priddle, of Waukegan, former Zion City leader, who claimed to have a revelation foretelling of dire catastrophes. Priddle, two years ago, prophesied the killing by frost of fruit, which resulted in a loss of $50,000,000. At present he has a plan to unite all Christians in a common 'church.

INDICTMENTS IN DYNAMITING CASE Twenty-Two Returned in Los Angeles Times Explosion. REWARDS AGGREGATE ALMOST $100,000 Names Of Accused Not To Be Made Public Until Arrests Are Made—Explosion That Wrecked Newspaper Plant Outcome Of Plot Resulting In Wholesale Murder Followed General Otis' Contest With Union Labor—Bomb Found At Home Of Proprietor. Los Angeles (Special).—The grand jury in the Los Angeles Times explosion case returned 22 indictments Thursday. All of the indictments charge murder in connection with that crime. It is not likely that the names of any of the indicted will be made public until after the arrests have been made. It is believed a large number of San Franciscoans have been indicted. Wholesale murder, the outcome of a dynamite plot, is understood to be the charges set forth in all the indictments, but it is believed that not more than three or four men are named in the true bills. The return of the indictments was a sequel of a disaster that excited the people of Los Angeles to a degree that for a few days bordered upon panic, and resulted in the offering of rewards aggregating almost $100,-000. Union labor, which the Times and its proprietors had opposed, was injected into the situation, and when the special grand jury was impaneled on October 25 it was immediately confronted with two conflicting theories. One of these, supported by the findings of an investigating committee appointed by Mayor Alexander, that the Times' plant had been blown up by dynamite through a conspiracy. The other, presented by a committee named by the State Building Trade Convention, then in session here, was that a gas explosion had caused the wreck. More than 40 witnesses, the majority of them identified with the union labor movement, were summoned from San Francisco and other cities. Many labor union officials were heard. In all, the grand jury examined more than 200 persons who, in the opinion of detectives working here and in San Francisco, might throw some light on the alleged murder plot. Among the labor leaders summoned from San Francisco were Olaf E. Tveltmeed and Anton Johanssen, who were supposed to have been acquainted with J. B. Bryce, W. A. Schmidt and David Kaplan, three suspects in the case, who were in this city for a few hours after the explosion, but subsequently disappeared. According to the detectives, Bryce, Schmidt and Kaplan were the three who purchased from a San Francisco dealer in powder dynamite later used to destroy the Times. More powder dynamite was found later in a bomb planted under the residence of Felix J. Zeehandlaar, secretary of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association. This organization had opposed the extension of labor unions in this city. Two days ago an additional reward of $25,000 was formally offered by the county board of supervisors for the capture of the trio. RICH PLANTER KILLS WIFE. William Morgan, of Florida, Believed To Be Insane. + Pensacola, Fla. (Special).—Bellevud to be insane, William Morgan, a wealthy planter, is being held in jail here, having killed his wife at their home, near here. Morgan is 70 years old. His wife was only a few years younger. Becoming aware of her husband's insanity, Mrs. Morgan attempted to flee from the house, but was caught by Morgan, who cut her throat with a pocket knife before their servants could interfere. Explosion Leaves City Helpless. Minneapolis, Minn. (Special). Two men are in the City Hospital seriously injured, the $500,000 plant of the Minneapolis General Electric Company is a total loss, as the result of an explosion and resulting fire early Friday. Men who escaped from the plant say the explosion resulted from an accumulation of gas under the switchboard. Three minutes after the firemen arrived the roof of the plant fell in. Sixteen engino companies by hard work prevented the fire from spreading to the Pillsbury "A" flour mill, the largest in the world. FIXING THE BLAME. THERE'S NO GUILTY CAUSE OF HIGH Prices WHO APOLED ME? THE FEDERAL MONARCH'S FIRE HOWARD'S $90,000 SCIENCE HALL DEDICATED Doctor Washington Says "Science Knows no Color Line in Dealing With the Human Family"—Sec- retary Ballinger Makes Address. COLORED BUSINESS MEN AND FAILURE. Washington, D. C.—(Special)—In the presence of one of the most distinguished audiences that has gathered on the American continent, the new and commodious science hall of Howard university was dedicated with impressive ceremonies. Besides the secretary of the interior, Hon R. A. Ballinger, and many persons high in the world of letters and science, on the platform, were representatives of the British and Haitian governments, two justices of the Supreme Court, and many prominent churchmen and citizens of note. Letters of regret were received from President Taft, Andrew Carnegie and officials from hearty every large university in the East. The exercises were held in Andrew Rankin Memorial chapel and the editorium was crowded. The principal speaker of the day was Dr. Booker T. Washington, and he was given an ovation that signalized a happy degree of harmony between the two systems of education necessary to the well-rounded development of a people. The world renowned advocate of industrialism proclaimed the opening of the new hall to be the beginning of a new era for the Negro, and pointed out that it was the first building devoted to science that the government had provided for the colored people. He emphasized the value of skill in the arts and an expert knowledge of the sciences that have to do with the fundamental phases of the world's work. "Science is absolutely impartial in its dealings with the human family," said Doctor Washington. "It knows no color line. Here amid the forces of nature every man is on a plane of equality. Chemistry and physics, light heat, electricity, steam and plant life never ask any questions-as to the color of the hand that makes them productive and useful." Discipline, right living, reliability, thrift, industry and the necessity for having a definite purpose in view, were shown to be the prime requisites in building up a successful career. The record that the students and graduates of Howard The Nashville (Tenn.) Globe pointed out very clearly the main cause for most of the failures in business by young colored men. The Globe well states the case when it says: "But granting that a Negro does open a business and fails to get the patronage of the people of his own race, the question he should first ask himself is: 'Am I conducting my business in a way to invite trade?' We venture the assertion that the most of the failures that overtake Negroes in business are due to negligence on the part of the man himself. We have never known a Negro to fall in business who was palstaking and energetic, but we have known scores of them to fall because of slothfulness. "Any man who embarks on the ship of commerce may expect to run into a storm before many knots have been sailed. Comparisons are odious, but we will admit them for argument. A Negro opens a business and heralds to the is making was declared to be proof positive of the effectiveness of the training that is being given in this great institution. Richard A. Ballinger, secretary of the interior, under whose department Howard university comes, told the students that education was the most important factor in politics, and that Howard-university was the most important university of its kind in the country—the race's greatest agency of light and reading extend. He also said that although the country is now in the midst of an agitation for economy, he hopes that Howard would be able to secure all it needed in the matter of appropriations. Other addresses were delivered by Dr. Henry S. Pritchett, president of the Carnegie, foundation for the advancement of Learning, and Dr. Wm. H. Welch of John Hopkins university, Baltimore. Dr. W. P. Talkfiert, president of Howard university, who conducted the exercises, referred with pardonable pride to the phenomenal progress the university has made in the past few years. He called attention to the growth of the new college spirit—the search for the highest and best—and noted optimistically the present tendency of the Negro to work along broad and classical lines. He said he found unspeakable encouragement in the fact that for many years two rooms on the top floor of one of the college buildings, had been sufficient to care for the scientific students, while now, with 600 students taking scientific courses, an entire building is required. The excellent music rendered by the vested choir of 50 volces under the direction of Miss Lula Vere Childers, and selections by the university band and orchestra, added 'muca for the impressiveness of the occasion. As "America" was being sung, Justice Job Barnerd, president of the board of trustees, accepted the keys of the handsome structure and then brought the dedicatory exercises to an end. world that he is going to conduct his place on a high plane; it will be first class in every particular. The people flock to the new enterprise and for a short season the propietor keeps his word, and then he begins to substitute cheaper goods, and employs inferior help. His customers complain, and he promises them that all defects will be remedied, but the promise is not kept. While this controversy between Negro merchant and his customers is going on, a Jew or Greek, or a man of some other nationality than Negro is doing his best to please his customers, and his customers include everybody who will pay a bill. Goods are kept up to the standard, the store is neat and clean, fly specks are washed off the windows, every employee is ordered to keep their clothes clean and well arranged, and he invites the public to come in and see how politely he can have them served.

Paris, France. — (Special.) — The French government announces its formal acceptance of the American proposition to refund the debt of the African republic of Liberia. This, however, is made conditional upon Liberia's ratification of the frontier delimitation, and an agreement that Liberia shall grant liberty of commerce to France and that France shall have the right to maintain certain military posts, which will be evacuated as soon as acceptable. Liberian forces are to be substituted. It was further announced that the United States had given assurance that these conditions would be met. The American secretary of state, Mr. Knox, proposed last July, to save Liberia from bankruptcy by the United States taking over control of the customs for security. M. Pichon, the French minister of foreign affairs, opposed such a settlement as infringing on France's rights under her Liberian treaties of 1892 and 1907. Negotiations followed in which England, as the owner of a neighboring colony, and Germany, which is concerned in anything connected with a division of Africa, took part. The special position of the United States toward Liberia is recognized in the agreement which has just been reached. It is provided, first, that Liberia without losing her rights of sovereignty, agrees that the United States shall represent her abroad in the diplomatic and consular service. The second provision is that the four powers named above agree to unify and liquidate the debt of Liberia and to organize joint financial control of the customs. In accordance with the treaty which President Barclay signed in Paris three years ago, France agreed to suspend her advance towards the south of French Guinea, and conceded a Hinterland of about 100 miles in extent upon condition that the Liberian government should be responsible for the maintenance of order in the frontier region. In March, 1908, President Barclay, with the co-operation of British officers, formed the so-called frontier force for this purpose. According to the Depeche Coloniale, the natives imagined that this was a prelude to a foreign occupation of the country, and appealed to the United States for help against Great Britain and France. So pressed upon one side by France and beset by Great Britain upon the other, Liberia, the Negro republic, was between two milestones which threatened to grind it off the map, unless the nation had the support of some power commensurate in strength with Great Britain and France. That was one of the principal conclusions expressed in the report of the American Commission to Liberia, which was transmitted to the United States congress, March 25, of this year by President Taft with a special message. After reviewing the internal dangers which threaten Liberia as well as those which crowd upon her from the outside, the commission has made the following recommendations: 1—That the United States extend its aid to Liberia in the prompt settlement of her boundary disputes. 2—That the United States enable Liberia to refund its debt by assuming as a guarantee for the payment The intrepid general was rallying her wavering female troops. "Women," she cried, "will you give way to mannish fears?" A muffled murmur of indecision ran through the ranks. "Shall it be said we are clothed in small armor?" shrieked the general.

For what it has been able to accomplish, the government of the little republic and those responsible for it were commended highly by the commission. The Liberians have advanced in their civilization, and the native element has not had a retrograde influence. On the other hand, the civilization of the nation has done much toward advancing the tribes, the commission said. Attention was called to the fact that the Liberians never have resorted to revolution, and the nation is not, as has been said, bankrupt. Liberia while attempting to solve her internal problems had become involved in external ones which were very threatening to its integrity. The reform program adopted upon the advice of Great Britain was condemned by the commission, and the causes were described in the report as the "bungling British officials in 1909," which resulted in a frontier police officered largely by British. Thaf feature, the commission declared, was not for the good of Liberia. In summarizing the conditions there the commission said that help from the United States was demanded as Great Britain and France were not in a position to give disinterested assistance. Following this the United States government has intimated to the Liberian government its willingness to assist Liberians in placing the republic on a stable basis by taking entire charge of the finances, military organizations, agriculture and boundary questions of the country. The American government throughout has been in communication with London, Paris and Berlin, and the scheme formulated in Washington is understood to have the general approval of those governments. The Monrovin executive has also expressed satisfaction with the American plan, but waven the various details have been worked out it will be necessary for the legislature of Liberia to meet and formally to approve of the measure. Meanwhile, on the suggestion of the United States, Liberia appointed Mr. R. P. Falkner, head of the late American commission to Liberia, special financial agent in the United States and Europe for Liberia. President Taft asked Messrs. Kuhn, Loeb & Co., the New York bankers, to arrange for a loan, and a member of this firm went to Europe to discuss the details. The loan will probably be about $2,000,000 and will be shared by American, German and French banks. It will be employed first of all in paying off the two existing British loans, as well as the internal loans and floating debt, and the customs will be hypothetcated for its service. It is proposed that the financial board at Monrovia shall include members of the various countries interested, under the presidency of an American.

The reason for the assessment or the use to which the money is to be put has not as yet been made known. The Swedish Accident Insurance company will hereafter refuse to insure-brewery workers. This action is taken because of the almost universal weakness of heart among this class. It is frequently declared by the brewery people that intoxicates never intoxicate in Germany and that a German never gets drunk. The latest news from Berlin says "the saloons in the German capital are closed at 11 o'clock at night in order to minimize drunkenness and rioting." The Knights Templars of the state of Illinois will no longer permit intoxicants to be dispensed at any of the commandery gatherings. The presbytery of Philadelphia has approved local option and recommended it to the churches under its control. Kansas has 105 counties. Fortyeight counties, with a population of 430,274, did not have a single prisoner to send to the penitentiary last year. NEGROES BUYING PROPERTY. Some of the Best Properties in the Capital City Are Being Acquired By Them. Washington, D.C.—(SpecialL.)—The thrifty colored people are taking possession of the heart of Washington's most desirable residential section. The Northwest quarter of the city, from M street to far above Florida avenue, and from North Capitol street to Seventeenth is being bought up or rented by colored people of the better class. Houses that could not have been occupied by any Negro ten years ago are now being gladly offered to colored tenants, and streets inaccessible to the race are now almost completely occupied by Negroes. The whites abandon a street or locality as soon as a few Negroes move in, and they are now gradually retreating toward the newer homes in the suburbs, leaving some of the most comfortable mansions to colored people, in the regions most convenient to the stores traction lines and offices. The Cameron apartment house is now for colored people, and since U street is practically given over to Negro business enterprises, it is only a question of time when the Oswego, the Exeter, the Ilkley and the Bryn Mawr apartment houses, now occupied by whites, will be turned over to colored tenants. The color line is drawn as rigidly here as in any colored community, but the quick-witted Negroes, instead of whining, are embarking in business for themselves and turning race prejudice into profit by reaching out and gathering in dollars that the white merchants disdain to accept on equal terms with others. Couldn't Blame the Hammock It was when President Taft was merely Mr. Secretary and was visiting Japan on his famous trip through the Far East. Mr. Taft was caught fast asleep in a hammock by a moving picture man, and this interesting film was being shown at a county fair in Illinois. The motion picture was being reeled off to the great amusement of the rural spectators, when a huge flaw-line suddenly darted across the film, and the screen went dark. "Land o' mercy, Hiram," gasped an old lady in the rear of the hall. "What was that?" "Hush up, Mirandy," croaked the husband. "Don't yew ask so many questions. I reckon that's where the hammock busted."—Westerner. A Lawn Barber. A major in a certain regiment has a great contempt for incapacity of any kind and is somewhat impatient. A sergeant complained to him that he could get no man to undertake the duty of barber to the company. "Is there no gardener in the company," asked the major testily. "See if you can find one and send him to me." The man was duly sent, but, on receiving orders to act as barber, ventured to expostulate. "Great guns!" cried the major, "if you can cut grass you can cut hair. Go and do it"—Oakland Tribune. The newest "mean man" story: In a western county of Kansas the dead body of an unknown man was recently discovered. In his pockets they found $100 in bank notes and a big revolver. "What about it?" asked the innocent one. "You would expect that they'd have used that in finding his relatives, or, falling in that, have given him a decent burial, now, wouldn't you?" "Sure." "Well, they didn't" is the answer. "They arragel his dead body before a justice of the peace for carrying concealed weapons and fined him $100 and buried him in Potter's field." POT SHOTS. If you tell the truth nowadays you don't shame the devil as much as you do some prominent citizen. Presumably a large percentage of future aeroplane accidents will come from skidding on hailstones. Forgiveness is a vice of the virtuous which encourages more cussedness among the villains. "Idle Curiosity" is what a man exhibits when he reads the proceedings of congress. It is none of his business what is congress is doing anyhow. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Talk may be cheap but gossip soon gains currency. Some men make more money by failing than others by being successful. It is said that all his mean acts are quickly brought up before a drowning man—and the same might be said of a candidate for office. The man in the honeymoon isn't a myth. But few people are able to recognize bear meat after it is dressed. It is better to remain ignorant than to acquire certain brands of knowledge. WAITING FOR TROUBLE. 1 How long would they have to wait for a kiss if you were there, dear boy? STUBBORN ECZEMA ON HANDS Some nine years ago I noticed small pimples breaking out on the back of my hands. They became very irritating, and gradually became worse, so that I could not sleep at night. I consulted a physician who treated me a long time, but it got worse, and I could not put my hands in water. I was treated at the hospital, and it was just the same. I was told that it was a very bad case of eczema. Well, I just kept on using everything that I could for nearly eight years until I was advised to try Cuticura Ointment. I did so, and I found after a few applications and by bandaging my hands well up that the burning sensations were disappearing, I could sleep well, and did not have any itching during the night. I began after a while to use Cuticura Soap for a wash for them, and I think by using the Soap and Ointment I was much benefited. I stuck to the Cuticura treatment, and thought if I could use other remedies for over seven years with no result, and after only having a few applications and finding ease from Cuticura Ointment, I thought it deserved a fair trial with a severe and stubborn case. I used the Ointment and Soap for nearly six months, and I am glad to say that I have hands as clear as anyone. "It is my wish that you publish this letter to all the world, and if anyone doubts it, let them write me and I will give them the name of my physician, also the hospital I was treated at." (Signed) Miss Mary A. Bentley, 93 University St., Montreal, Que., Sept. 14, 1910. Due Precautions: In a town in Georgia there was an old preacher whose knowledge of the world was not wide nor deep, but who conceived it to be a place where, one should trust his fellow men, he should at the same time keep an eye on his own interests. One hot day he pulled off his coat and preached a vigorous sermon, under the pines, in his shirt sleeves. At the close of the open-air service one of his admirers approached him and said, regretfully: "I don't suppose that you knew that the editor of one of the big New York Sunday papers was here when you pulled off your coat." "I reckon I knew it well for I'd been told of it," said the preacher, calmly. "I don't believe he's as bad as he might be, and anyway, leput my coat on the chair close by and had it right under my eye all the time."—Youth's Companion. In Different Parts of the House.

It is not too early for efforts to be made to for the registration of colored voters in the State. Next year the presidential election takes place and our men should be in a position to cast a vote. Leaders in every county in the State should take this matter up and begin plannig for the same. It has been suggested that a conference be held of the leaders of the State at an early date in order that some impetus be given the movement. This conference is approved, and it behooves that all of us "get a hustle" in order that the right kind of result may be obtained. The general results of the municipal election of last Tuesday are eminently satisfactory to the colored people of this city. It is a fact beyond contradiction that we, during the Tiedeman administration have received better treatment by far than has been accorded us for many a year and for that reason we are much elated over the results of the balloting of a few days ago. Of course we do not pretend to say that upon every occasion we have received justice, or that conditions have been ideal, but we do say with all frankness to the gentlemen who have had the responsibility of the city upon their shoulders for the past four years that we have been given a squarer deal and more consideration than was ours to enjoy for many years past. We, therefore, are hopeful and very optimistic of future developments and believe that with a continuation of the present forces in power there is a better day for our people and that those things which have been left undone will in due time be taken up and put through in order that we, with the other half of the citizens of Savannah, may proclaim our city the garden spot not only of Georgia but of the entire country. It has been recently said by a noted evangelist in Savannah that next to the saloon dancing is the greatest curse in the world. As to this statement no city can better pass judgement upon its correctness than Savannah for there are no people who place a higher premium upon this form of pleasure than we. It takes precedent over all other kinds of enjoyment and there is no other form of entertainment which we will not sacrifice for the sake of a few moments pleasure upon the ballroom floor or for a short dance in the parlor of some private residence. Dancing, as all other modes of enjoyment, has its limitations and may be indulged in without any harm if kept within certain prescribed lines but when we go beyond these bounds and throw aside all restraint and propriety we, turn into a sinful weapon that which was intended to make wholesome pleasure. Dancing when moderately indulged in by people of equal age, class and standing in life can be made a most delightful and harmless past-time but when we set aside the recognized rules of society and dance promiscuously with one another then no semblance of good can be forthcoming and only harm will eventually be theresult. Take for instance the average ball where the participants are of ages varying from girlhood to that age graced by gray hairs and it is not an uncommon sight to see girls of tender years carelessly leaning upon the arms of men who have long since passed into fatherhood and young boys hilariously dancing to the melodious strains of some popular piece of music with married women who are old enough to be their mothers. This is a state of affairs that is by no means conducive to the best interests of our young people and should be condemned by parents. Indiscriminate dancing is like indiscriminate pleasures of any other sort, it soon brings forth a condition of affairs which will be lamented. The matter of married men mixing promiscuously with young girls at a dance or anywhere else for that matter, has a tendency to create a degree of familiarity which is not at all desired by parents and it positively produces a loss of modesty on the part of the young women and causes a lack of respect upon the part of the men. The only way to stop this damaging practice is for mothers to so impress their daughters with the necessity for holding to their identity with the single men and boys that they will consider it an unpardonable breach of etiquette for them to be seen dancing with men other than those that are single. THREE SCORE YEARS IN FEDERAL SERVICE Death of Charles Middleton Veteran Clerk in Navy Department. Charles Middleton, who had served in the ordinance bureau, Navy Department, since 1850, died this morning at the Casualty Hospital. Saturday he fell on the stairway in a building at the northwest corner of 5th and G streets and injured his head. About six weeks ago he fell and injured his shoulders. His death, it is believed, resulted from uremia. The deceased was a regularly ordained Baptist minister. His wife and many of his relatives reside in Brooklyn, N. Y. It is said that his wife is an invalid. He resided at 709 2nd street northwest. Coroner Nevitt viewed the body at the hospital. He learned from the hospital physicians that Middleton fractured one rib at the time he fell and his injury hastened his death. Mr. Middleton had an eventful career and was associated in a subordinate capacity with many distinguished officials during the civil war, including President Lincoln, Admiral Farragut, Admiral Porter and other naval heroes. He was born in Savannah, Ga., in 1825 and was eighty-five years of age when he died. When a boy thirteen years of age he was employed by the quartermaster's department of the army in conveying supplies to troops engaged in the Seminole war. In 1842 he enlisted in the navy and served for one year on the United States ships Mississippi and Vincennes. In 1848 he went to Mexico with commissioner A. H. Sevier and was present at the signing of the treaty of peace with Mexico. Mr. Sevier being taken ill, ftrusted Middleton with the custody of the American copy of the treaty for delivery to a special messenger sent from Washington. From 1855 until the day of his death he was attached to the Navy Department in various capacities, first as a messenger and later as a clerk. Since 1864 he had been continuously employed in the naval bureau of ordnance and was highly regarded by the officials of that bureau. President Lincoln took quite a fancy to him and secured his appointment to a regular position in the Navy Department. Mr. Middleton often referred with pride to the times when President Lincoln took him with him to the White Lot to engage in target practice. Mr. Middleton had charge of the rifle which the President, borrowed from the Navy Department for this practice.—Evening Star, Washington, D. C., Dec. 5th, 1910. The above named gentleman was the uncle of Mr. L. G. Middleton of this city. Ordained in New York. Ordained in New York. On Dec. 19, 1910, Rev. Jno. E. Robinson, formerly of the First Bryan Baptist Church this city, met the Permanent Council of New York and was examined for ordination. This council is composed of the leading white and colored ministers of the city. He passed a most creditable examination and was recommended to his church for ordination. On the night of December 27 the ordination ceremony took place in the Abyssinian Baptist Church of which he is a member. The ordination sermon was preached by Rev. M. W. Gilbert, D. D., L. L. D. The "Charge" was given by Rev. G. Hunt, D. D.; ordination prayer by Rev. H. A. Booker, the bible was presented by Rev. A. Clayton Powell, D. D., the pastor of the church, who also extended him the right hand of fellowship. The church was well filled and ceremony was very impressive. On last Sunday Rev. Robinson communed the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church in the absence of its pastor, Rev. Gilbert. This was his initial communion. Rev. Robinson is the son of the late Rev. T. M. Robinson of Macon, Ga. He has been called to the pastorate of a church in a near by town. Died in Americus. Mr. James Dawson died on Saturday last at his home in Americus, Ga., and was buried on Sunday. His funeral was largely attended by many friends. Mr. Dawson was a gentleman of exemplary character, a senior deacon of hi church, and one of the best known Odd-Fellows of the state. He was beloved by all who knew him. Among his relatives he leaves a loving wife and son. Mr. L.-E. Williams of this city who is his brother-in-law, attended the funeral. Hon, H. F. Wilson. It is with much regret that the defeat of Hon. H. E. Wilson at the polls on Tuesday last, is noted. He was one of the strongest and ablest of the administration's candidates. Every colored citizen, among whom Mr. Wilson is very popular, has expressed a keen disappointment in the defeat. He is held in high esteem and is greatly respected by the colored citizens whom he has won by his fearless manner and his attitude of fairness to all men. Mr. Wilson was the first recorder Savannah ever had. While on the bench and elsewhere he has proven that he is void of any taint of race prejudice, and has dealt justly with black men and white men alike. In fact in his actions he decides on the matter in question and not the color of the skin. Police Chief Austin. During the recent campaign severe criticisms were made against Chief Austin by the Insurgents, and it is rumored that he will not be re-elected. Capt. Austin has made the best Chief of Police that Savannah has had since the days of Gen'l Anderson. Despite the criticisms made, he should be re-elected, and let him continue to keep the police force on a par with the best in the country. Evangelical Ministers Union. The Evangelical Ministers Union met Tuesday with Dr. L. A. Townsley, D. D., presiding. Devotional service was conducted by Rev. Farmer, D. D. The 3rd chapter of Proverbs was then read. Rev. J. D. Stone, (white) was then introduced and a very excellent address by him was made to the union. Next Tuesday Dr. E. B. Brown will read a paper subject, "Is the Negro cursed." Next Wednesday evening at 8 p. m., there will be a public installation of the officers elected by the, Evangelical Union, at St. Paul C. M. E. Church. The public is invited. Sermonic report was given by Dr. Townsley, D. D. Come out next Tuesday, some important matters to be discussed. Baptist Ministers The Baptist ministers held their first meeting Monday last at African Baptist Church, Rev. W. First Gray, presiding. Rev. J. W. Hill conducted the devotion. Visitors were introduced and members received. Rev. L. A. Townsley, pastor of St. Philip Monumental Church was introduced. Rev. S. W. Batchlor, D. D., pastor of Bolton St. Baptist Church, Rev. E. D. Davis, pastor of Friendship Baptist Church, and Bro. E. D. Nichols were given the hand of fellowship by the president. The officers elected as follows: Rev. Wm. Gray, Pres.; Rev. W. A. Daughtry, vice; Rev. A. L. Hamillon, secretary; Rev. McD. Spencer, assistant secretary; Rev. B. Mole, treasurer; Rev. D. W. Cannon, critic. IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE. Interesting Services in The Churches of the City. F. A. B. Church. F. A. B. Church. The pastor, Rev. W. L. Jones, preached two able sermons on last Sunday. His text at the 11:30 o'clock services was taken from St. Mark 14:51, subject "Your troubles for Jesus sake." At 8:30 o'clock p. m. the text was from St. Mark 13:36, subject "The unknown coming of the son of man." The beautiful hymns sung by the choir were in rich accord with each sermon. The funeral of Mrs. Gracie Robinson from the church on last Wednesday afternoon was well attended by the various societies of which she was a member and also by members of the church. The pastor officiated. By the death of sister Robinson the church has lost a faithful member of long standing, whose beautiful Christian life was exemplary. There is still a number of members on the sick list. An encouraging feature in the financial plan, advanced by the pastor and officers, to pay the entire indebtedness of the church within a set time, was noticed at the Thursday evening services when a number of loyal members pledged to give neat sums for the purpose. The pastor headed the list with the largest amount and the officers followed with similar amounts. Enthusiasm among the members is intense, and if no dampening current is flowing this way, the aim will be reached within less time than is expected and with less ease. The 123d Anniversary celebration of the church will begin Tuesday night Jan. 17, and continue until Sunday night Jan. 22nd. The first night has been set apart as the Ga., State Industrial College night, Prof. R. R. Wright, president, will deliver an address and other renditions from the college will make up the programme. Each night's programme promises to be interesting. The decorations for the interior of the church are imposing. Rev. R. Kemp, of Charleston, S. C. will preach Thursday evening, Friday evening, the 20th, the Anniversary sermon and on Sunday morning and night special sermons. Rev. McD. Spencer, pastor Mt. Zion Baptist Church will preach on Wednesday night the 18th. Prof. S. A. Grant of the Georgia State College and Prof. R. W. Gadsden, principal of the East Broad St. Public School will deliver addresses during the celebration. See our programme and be in attendance each night of the celebration. Our ushers will see that you are comfortably seated. The banquet will be in Monday night the 23rd in the basement of the church. We extend a cordial invitation to the pastors of the city and their officers to sit at the banquet table with us, also the participants on the program. St. Phillips Dots. The first quarterly conference of St. Philips for 1911, convened at St. Philips last night. Every member of St. Philips should attend these conferences. Rev. Singleton left for Forsyth, Ga., and several other cities in Georgia on last Tuesday. The A. C. E. League meetings on Thursday night of each week are very interesting, come out, good program. The sick members of St. Philips are improving. Brother F. J. Hilton and W. D. Armstrong are still very sick. Brother W. J. Williams is out again after three weeks illness. A large crowd was out at class meeting on Tuesday night. Increase the attendance every Tuesday night and you will be doing your duty. With the new year begin right. The following services will be held on tomorrow: prayer meeting at 5:30 a. m., preaching at 11 a. m., Sunday school at 3 p. m., preaching at 3:15 p. m. Strangers are cordially invited. Mt. Zion Church. On last Sunday at 11 o'clock service, Rev. J. W. Moultrie preached a very instructive sermon to which the pastor, Rev. McD. Spencer, responded. The choir rendering very appropriate music for the occasion added much to the interesting service from which we feel that all present were very much benefitted. At night the services were still more interesting. There was a much larger attendance and the congregation listened attentively to the sermon preached by the pastor. The donations of the day were good. On Tuesday night just after prayer meeting our call conference convened and all business was attended to in a very becoming manner. Tomorrow being third Sunday, is our communion day. We ask the presence of all friends, and the public. We want to make it a day that will exceed all others, and give thanks to the Heavenly Master that He has allowed us the privilege of meeting at the sacramental table on the first third Sunday in the New Year. We are still bending all efforts toward our building. New ideas have been formed which space will not allow us to explain but if you will attend the services same will be thoroughly explained to you from the pulpit. Come, all who are interested in the works of the Lord. Our doors are open unto you. F. B. B. Church. On Sunday night the church was crowded and although there had been three funerals at the church during the day no one appeared tired. Rev. Wright read for the lesson.Ps. '89:1-18 inclusive. His text was from I Cor. 7:29. The subject was "The time is short." The sermon was very touching and impressive. He pointed out vividly things that are happening every day, to which we are witnesses. He held the congregation spellbound from beginning to end. The choir sang very appropriately "When Jesus comes to reward his servants." Rev. Wright led the hymn "Amazing sight the Saviour stands." Pleadingly he invited sinners to seek repentance. A large number bowed at the mercy seat. Our services are enjoyed by all true Christians. Come down any time. Monumental Notes. Monumental Notes. The members of the old Mother Church will be glad to see you out at church tomorrow, you will be greatly benefited. All of the officers of the various boards were elected this week and last. Come out tomorrow and get one of the church papers, "The Guide" and you will see who the officers are. They are too numerous to mention in this writing, Mr. Jos. S. Daniels Jr., is still the general church reporter. The trustees that were elected declares that they will remodel the old church. The chorister, Mr. J. W. Love declares that he will have new songs to render at each service. The Stewards, Stewardesses, Auxiliary Missionary, Pulpit Aid, Parsonage Aid, Sunday School and Allen Endeavor League boards all have promised to do great work. The pastor, Dr. Townsley is well pleased with the newly elected officers. The Ushers Association is still working hard to keep the people comfortably seated, they will be installed publicly on the 9th, of February. Read the Guide tomorrow it will give the desired results: St. Benedict's Church. East Broad-and Gaston Streets. Sunday Jan. 15. Second Sunday after the Epiphany and Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus. First mass at 7:30 a.m., second mass at 8 a.m., high mass and sermon at 10:30 a.m., Sunday school at 4 p.m. Rosary, sermon and denediction at 14 p.m. Rev. Jos. A. Dahlent will preach in the morning, subject, "Love and respect are due to the Holy Name." Father Obrecht will preach the evening sermon. After the night service the monthly meeting of St. Mary's Aid Society will take place; it will be an important meeting and all the members are requested to attend. On Wednesday evening the members of St. Benedict's choir enjoyed a pleasant social gathering in St. Benedict's rectory, where the pastor entered the school most cordially. On Thursday evening the installation of the officers of St. Mary's Aid Society took place in the school rooms. Father Dahlent, before installing them, addressed a few appropriate words to each officer, and also asked the members to cooperate with their officers in union and harmony, and to make the year 1911 a record year for the society, which has done such great work since its foundation. During the coming week, Very Rev. Ignatius Lissner will break ground for the erection of the new school building on 36th street. This school, when it is completed, will be one of the finest school buildings in Savannah; it will be a large brick structure, with four rooms and a large hall. It will be ready by Oct. 1, 1911. St. Mary's school will certainly be a blessing for the children at Brownsville and the surrounding districts. The writer wishes to congratulate the editor of The Tribue upon his striking article in the last issue concerning the neglect and carelessness of the colored ministers in fulfilling the sacred civil right of voting at the municipal elections. Every line in this masterly article contains a strong lesson, which should be remembered by those to whom it refers. Talk is cheap; the leaders of the people should above all preach by their example.

Herein, an opportunity is offered to those whose occupation or other considerations prevent them attending the day school, to get the rudiments and more of that which all men ought to have, an education that they might become what they ought to be. There will be also a Missionary training course during the evening period. This is to train young men and women how to do effective mission settlement work at home thereby developing the missionary spirit and desire even unto the foreign fields. The work of this course is based upon a close sympathetic study of the lives of Christ, Paul and other great missionary spirits, with the "world for Christ" as our motto.

The New Year exercises of the Eureka Aid and Athletic Club held Sunday Jan. 1st, at their club room 517 Gwinnett street west were of a high order. Those failing to attend missed a real treat. The club is to be congratulated for getting up such an excellent program. Each lady present was presented with a new Lincoln penny as a souvenir. After the exercises were over the guests and members were seated in the Athletic room and refreshments were served. Just before the program was concluded, Mr. W. W. Mumphris who has been secretary of the club for a number of years was presented with a gold band fountain pen. The following program was very successfully rendered: Invocation by the chaplain, Mr. Peter B. Biggins; opening hymn by the Eureka Clubs, "Stand up for Jesus;" welcome address by Mr. J. Brown; trombone solo, Mr. Edward Davis; vocal duet by Misses Meta [Galloway and Addie Grier] bell solo by Mr. Robert Lane; address on the Eureka Club by Mr. H. J.

Williams of Waynesboro while Mr. Manzo is one of the popular young men from Augusta. After the wedding ceremonies there was a delightful reception given at the home of the brides' mother at which a host of friends and acquaintances were present. The many useful and beautiful presents given the happy couple were fitting evidence of their popularity. Deaths. Mrs. Cornelia Willis Goff departed this life at Hilton Head, S. C., Thursday of last week. She was a faithful member of St. Paul C. M. E. Church of this city. She leaves to mourn her death, a husband, two daughters, Mrs. Flora Law and Mrs. Frances Smith, and a son Mr. Ned Willis. The grim monster death visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Martin and took from their midst Little Willie after a short illness. The funeral took place from the residence 106 42nd street, east, Wednesday afternoon. Rev. R. H. Singleton, pastor St. Philip A. M. E. Church officiated. A number of sympathizing friends attended the funeral. One of the most heartfelt losses the colored people of Savannah have experienced for many years was that occasioned by the tragic death of Mr. Alexander McHardy on last Monday as the result of being run over by an automobile. Mr. McHardy was one of the oldest colored citizens in Savannah and was one for whom all citizens, both white and colored alike, had the greatest amount of respect. He was a man not only respected for the ripe old age that he attained but was honored because he was all that a good and worthy citizen should be. Mr. McHardy was one of the best known churchmen of the city being the senior deacon of the Second Baptist Church. The deceased is survived by two daughters and many grand children. The funeral will take place on tomorrow afternoon from the Second Baptist Church. Mr. Gabriel B. Young, at the age of 54 years, departed this life on Wednesday of last week and was buried on last Sunday. Mr. Young was born in Beaufort, S. C., where he lived until his 13th year when he came to Savannah. In 1878 he married Miss Janie C. Bryant and eight years later joined the First Bryan Baptist Church. There were eleven children born to this union and in 1900 Mr. Young was left a widower by the death of his wife. His second marriage was to Mrs. Marina E. Bell in 1908. He was a loving husband, a devoted father and a thorough Christian gentleman. He is survived by a wife, Mrs. M. B. Young and five children. Messrs. R. H. Young and S. B. Young, Miss Janie C. Young, Mrs. Bessie E. Williams and Master David W. Young. Special Call.

Tutt's Pills if taken in time not only cure, but will prevent SICK HEADACHE, CHILD'S GIFT REAL CHARM Rescued Father From Despondency and Proved the Foundation of Fortune. A certain business man has a curious little, charm for his watch chain. He wouldn't sell it for $1,000; no, nor two, nor three. His little child gave it to him one day when, as he says, he was "down." "I had lost every cent I had in the world, and there at my desk, my head on my arms, I was thinking of a possible way to end it, when my little child came up to me and asked: 'What does "ruined" mean, papa?' And then I knew I had ben grooming loud enough to be heard and understood. 'You said "ruined" paper. What does it mean?' "It means I haven't any money, baby. Papa's a poor man." The little feet patterned away, then back again, and here on my watch charm is what she gave me. Not a great fortune—no, but the foundation of one. Whatever I've got since came from it, for it gave me courage."—The Christian Herald. Their Last Hope Gone. When the minister praised the raspberry jam at Mrs. Green's bountiful Saturday night supper, he could not imagine why Angie and Horatio, the twins, gazed at him so reproachfully. "Don't you like raspberry jam, my little man?" he asked Horatio. "Yes, sir. I do, and Angie does," said Horatio, in distinctly resentful stones, "and mother told us that she was afraid the last she made wasn't quite up to the mark, and if you didn't praise it, Angie and I could it for luncheon on our bread, for Mrs. Willis and Mrs. Shedd never said a word when they ate it, and you've made the third; but now she'll use it for the church sociables," and Horatio looked gloomily at his twin, who returned the look in kind. "Youth's Companion. Bo'sun and Sir John Fisher. Admiral Potter told a now one on Sir John Fisher. When Sir John was at the head of the British admiralty he was most inaccessible. One day an old boatswain appeared. He would not take "no" for an answer. Finally a secretary went into Sir John's office, leaving the door ajar. He told the admiral that a sailor demanded an interview. "Tell him to go to hell," roared Sir John. "Aye, aye, sir," piped the boatswain, who stood in the doorway at a respectful salute; "I know I'll meet you there, sir, but I want to talk to you now, too." Suggested Too Much. Old Rocksey—Why did you quarrel with your count, my dear? Miss Rocksey—He called me his treasure and it sounded altogether too suggestive—Smart Set. If I were an inventor I would expend all my energies in trying to patent a collar button that would come when it was called. OLD COMMON SENSE. Change Food When You Feel Out of Sorts. "A great deal depends upon yourself and the kind of food you eat," the wise old doctor said to a man who came to him sick with stomach trouble and sick headache once or twice a week, and who had been taking pills and different medicines for three or four years. He was induced to stop eating any sort of fried food or meat for breakfast, and was put on Grape-Nuts and cream, leaving off all medicines. In a few days he began to get better, and now he has entirely recovered and writes that he is in better health than he has been before in twenty years. This man is 58 years old and says he feels "like a new man all the time." Read "The Road to Welville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." Ever read the above letter? A new experience from time, to time.

PRESIDENT TAFT PRESIDED Washington. — (Special.) — The board of trustees of the Anna T. Jeanes fund met at the white house with President Taft presiding. This fund amounts to one million dollars, and is six of the five Miss. Anna T. Jeanes of Philadelphia, for the relief of the Negro rural schools of the country. While the trustees of the Jessees fund there also met the trustees of the John F. Slater, fund, the mission of which is to extend the benefits of Negro education throughout the country. The meeting of the two boards brought to the capital a score of educators and philanthropists of both races and the work accomplished will prove highly effective in promoting the intellectual and moral well being of the people everywhere. Additional teachers were allowed in many localities that sorely needed them and the disbursements authorized were larger than had been agreed upon at any previous session. The trustees of the Jeanes fund met at the District building, and was followed by a full meeting of the board at the white house. Dr. James H Dillard, president of the board, opened the session, and called President Taft to the chair. Major R. R. Moton served as secretary. The trustees of the John F. Slater fund met at the residence of Mr. William F. Slater. At a joint meeting of the executive committees of the two boards, a plan was consummated by which the work of the bodies will be united. The expense of administration can thus be materially reduced, friction is made impossible and there is a great saving in time and strength. The union of the two boards gives the trustees control of the income of $3,000,000. The joint boards agree to select Dr. James H. Dillard as general agent of the two funds. Doctor Dickerman of Connecticut, Prof. W. T. B. Williams of Virginia, and Mr. Caldwell of Louisiana were chosen as assistants. The board of trustees of the Jeanes fund consists of Andrew Carnegie, Robert G. Ogden, George McAneny, Walter H. Page, George Foster Peabody of New York city; James H. Dillard of New Orleans, President Taft, H. B. Frissell and Maj. R. R. Moton of Hampton institute; Belton Gibbreath of Birmingham, Ala.; Bishop Abraham Grant of Kansas City; Samuel C. Mitchell of Columbia; S. G.; J. C. Napier, Nashville; David C. Barrow, Athens, Ga.; R. L. Smith of Paris Texas, and Booker T. Washington, who is chairman of the executive committee. B. T. Washington Investigatng Crime. Montgomery, Ala.—(Special.) — Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee institute for Negroes, has sent out a letter to the sheriffs of Alabama stating that he is greatly interested in the question of the reduction of crime among the Negro race in Alabama. He asks: "What, in your opinion, are the chief causes of Negro crime? What effect does strong drink have in making the Negro a criminal? Since the prohibition law has gone into effect has there been any decrease in the number of crimes committed by the Negroes in your county, especially criminal assault, murder and other serious offenses?" JACK JOHNSON IN FETTLE. The Big Heavyweight in Tryout With His Sparring Partner Shows Him To Be in First Class Form. Chicago, Ill.—(Special.)—If anybody thinks that Jack Johnson is all in because of the many newspaper reports of his nervous condition, it would not be well for them to get in the way of that good right arm of Jeffries' conquerer. In, tryout with his sparring partner, Walter Monahan, a few days ago; Jack for three rounds put up such a stiff proposition to Monahan, that he was almost compelled to take the count. Jack showed that he had everything with him that he had when he put Jeffries to the mat at Reno. Sports who saw him at work declare he has not lost an ounce of his speed and cleverness, Jack also announced that he was going to Europe for a pleasure trip, and not to take on the winner of the Lankford-Jeannette fight in Paris.

SERMON. --- Text: "There is but one God, the Father."—I Corinthians 8:6. The world is literally grounded in the belief of an all-wise, all-prevailing, all-glorious God, who is Creator and Conservator of all talings. But the world is not, as a whole, quickened into the belief of his Fatherhood and a consequent personal reliance upon Him for salvation from the ills and sins of life. The great object of all preaching is to bring about this glorious end. Men need a clearer conception of the divine character and their relation to him. Our interest in God needs intensifying until he becomes Love, Fidelity and Saving Mercy. The natural man is suspicious of God because he misapprehends him. The first great lesson Jesus commanded to impress upon the twelve apostles is the command to the Saints to be revered and the only one to be found in the life and teachings of Jesus. The character of God, in the former dispensation, was determined by the names he bore. The key title in the Old Testament was Jehovah. The meaning of this is the only self-existing being, a being of personality so potent that it determines all things as personal or impersonal as they relate to him. The word Jehovah carried with it the idea of Judge, Creator, Lawgiver, King, Lord and Heavenly Ruler. The idea overshadowing all was the Holy One of Israel. The inevitable result of this conception by the early Hebrews was a reverential fear more than that of a filial love. The ten commandments, it, is true, taught love, but it was much in the nature of a command. Duty was the only source of their inspiration. Under this order of things a very few learned the joyous privilege of loving God as Father. Many of us are still under the old servitude. In the sermon on the mount Jesus did not refer once to God as Jehovah, and throughout his ministry he taught that God is Father of all men in modifying senses. To the disobedient he is Father in the sense of Creator and Preserver. To the believer he is also Creator, Benefactor, Regenerator, Guide, Counselor and Friend. Jesus revealed God as the embodiment of all that is tender, lovable, winning and parental. He presents God as a personality distinct, self-conscious, intelligent, morally pure, spiritually holy, benevolent and infinitely good. As such God has put himself upon record as hungering for the love of men. There is everywhere, in the New Testament a revelation of watchfulness of, and a spirit of jealousy, with regard to the soul of man. God so loved the world that he gave his W. J. ("Fingy") Conners, the New York politician, who is not precisely a Chesterfield, secured his first great freight-handling contract when he was a roustabout on the Buffalo docks. When the job was abut to begin, he called a thousand burly "Dock-wallopers" to order, as narrated by one of his business friends: "Now," roared Conners, "yez are to worruk for me, and I want Ierry man here to understand what's what. I kin lick anny man in the gang." Nine hundred and ninety-nine swallowed the insult, but one huge, double-fisted warrior moved easily, and stepping from the line he said, "You can't lick me, Jim Conners." "I can't, can't I?" bellowed "Fingy." "No, you can't," was the determined response. "Oh, well, thin, go to the office and get your money," said "Fingy." "I'll have no man in me gang that I can't lick"—Westerner. William H. Crane, the actor, says he first learned what true love is by accidentally overhearing a brief conversation between a young man and a very pretty girl. "And you're sure you love me?" said she. "Love you?" echoed the young fellow. "Why, darling, while I was blding you goodby on the porch last night your dog bit a piece out of the calf of my leg, and I never noticed it till I got home."—Westerner. A teacher in the lower grade was instructing her pupils in the use of the hyphen. Among the examples given by the children was the word "bird-cage." "That's right," encouragingly remarked the teacher. "Now, Paul, tell me why we put a hyphen in "bird-cage." "It's for the bird to sit on," was the startling rejoinder of the young-giver—Westerner. Killing the Golden Goose. The old family physician being away on a much needed vacation, his practice was entrusted to his son, a recent medical graduate. When the old man returned, the youngster told him, among other things, that he had cured Miss Ferguson, an aged and wealthy spinner, of her chronic indigestion. "My boy," said the doctor, "I'm proud of you; but Miss Ferguson's indigestion is what put you through college."—Westerner. Time to Quit. True Love. Good Place to Sit. only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God so craved, so longed for, the love and life of man, his filial devotion, that he sacrificed his Son in the purchase of man for time and eternity. In this God as Father has not been altogether denied, for the apostle cried, saying: "We love him because he first loved us." The fact is, whatever reveals an object as having, as a ruling passion, the attribute of love makes that object a loving being. The goodness and beauty of the divine character therefore appeal to men every hour for their love and worship. God, instead of hiding himself and having to be sought through devious ways and by difficult means, as a human lord would do, shows himself accustomed to great High Priest, Jesus Christ, and who makes himself a messy man like any altarace at a dream of grace. This leads us to consider the good faith of God with his children in the perfect keeping of his promise to them. He is the Rewarder of them that diligently seek him. The Bible is full of golden promises to the seeker, and not one of them has ever been broken. What a glorious record the Father of the world has made with his children! Not one penentit in all the world's history has ever been turned away empty, from his throne. It is the Father's good, pleasure to give his children the kingdom. Therefore let every seeker after truth be emboldened to rely upon the fidelity of his heavenly Father. God as Father does not keep himself to Himself. He actively seeks the sin-sick man. God takes the initiative in the matter of reconciliation. Every other religion sets forth men groping in the world seeking after God. Christianity represents God upon the track of every man seeking Him. He is not only willing to save and accept men who come to him, but he is out in the world helping them to come. Every man who has gone forth seeking God has found God seeking him, and it has been beautifully said that "If the sinner is diligently and sincerely seeking God, and if God is seeking the sinner, then they cannot be long in finding each other." There are those great parables of the Prodigal Son and of the lost sheep which teach us the lessons of God's love. Are you roaming, longer roaming, in the cold, dark night of doubt and sin? Let the heart-hungry man, as these thoughts of the great Shepherd Father come to him, arise and say: No, I am coming, quickly coming; Open door, make haste to let me in! Small, limp piece of black cloth is, according to an ancient custom, put on the top of the judge's wig in England before he passes sentence of death and is properly called the "Sentence Cap" or "Black Cap." Covering the head was a sign of mourning mourning among the Israelites, Greeks, Romans and Anglo-Saxon, and is referred to in Samuel II, 15:30. Putting on the black cap is not a grim sign of revenge of the law, but is rather a token of sorrow, expressing the regret the judge feels as to having to condemn the prisoner to death.

Mothers repeatedly argue when re- monstrated. with 4or allowing girls in their teens to spend their time in idleness, “I can do the work my- self,:and when the time comes for it, theyll do the same.” They do not recognize how much easier life would be for their children if they did not allow habits of laziness and selfish- ness to take deep root. *, In the days when sewing formed 8 larger part of every womdn’s edu- cation and occupation than it does at present, a mother was reproached for allowing, her daughter to spend to much time over embroidery. In defending herself, she said: “I have had her taught sewing, and whether -bhe makes shirts or tea-cozies mat- ters very little. What matters is the habit of industry. Provided she has that, she will always turn to any form of work that may be neces- sary.” It seems almost impossible for un- educated mothers to grasp the fact that althougli their children’s assist- ance in the housework may be of lit- tle value, they must nevertheless ex- act it, and that the important point is the habit of industry, not the in- rtrinsie worth of childish efforts. Even in the humblest forms of work it may truly be said: “Ease is the lovely result of forgotten toil.” SLIPPERS OF FUR, NOT GLASS Cinderella's Footgear Transformed by the Mistake of Perrault Who Wrote Out the Fairy Tale. When Perrault in the seventeenth century was writing his fairy tales to amuse the courtiers of France, he had recourse to thé old French chronicles. Then he read that Cin- derella, or whatever her name was in those days, went to the ball in slippers of “vair,” the royal fur of that time—miniver, a3 itis now known: Perrault, misreading the text, decked out his heroine in slip- pers of verre (glass), a very different thing. The real Cinderella probably went to the dance in those pointed, curving, fur-bordered shoes of medi- eval days. But, thanks to Perrault, she will trip down the corridors of time in her little clattering glass slippers. aan = = oT ae / ¥ is Miss Prymme—Er, Gertrude, was ft you I saw last night with @ man’s arm around your waist, or did my eyes deceive me? - Pert Mins—Well, really, I don’t see that I am called upon to be an- ‘werable for anything on the evi- dence of your eyesight! ‘ORANGES FOR AUSTRALIA. ‘The first full shipload of oranges to Australia was recently made on the British steamer Aorangi. This ship carried in her holds 4,000 boxes “bf California oranges, which is be- lieved to have been the largest single shipment of citrus fruit ever made from this state. - The oranges were sent to tide water in a solid train and placed on board the steamer at this port. It is expected that this shipment will open q new market for California ‘fruit in Australia—San Franciseo Chronicle. STATE SCHOOL IS GOOD. ‘The Normal school at Cape Gir- ardgau, Mo., is said to be one of the dbest-equipped schools of its kind in the country, and the course to be one of the best.

Stimulates Public and Private Em- ployers, Says Dr. Eliot. | Doctor Eliot fakes a broad philo~' sophical view of the change from the spoils system fo merit in public life. Tho familiar arguments against wholesale appointments and whole- sale dismissals efter elections he does not repeat; no sensible man needs such repetition, But Doctor Eliot ‘dwelt in his Chicago lecture on ,the need of a constant incentive or life ae, and he showed how in pri- vate as well as in public employment appointment, promotion and recog- ‘nition of good work supply the nec- ‘essary “motive.” . | Efficiency is a,modern catchword, ‘but do we really endeavor full to live up to it? We cannot have efficiency where men are not stimulated by proper ambition, where they are dis- couraged by pull, favoritism, intrigue and graft. The demgnd for efficiency , has given us the merit system within a limited sphere, but the sphere must be extended. Commission rule and the tendency to seek expert advice in ‘local and general government—even in tariff making—are gratifying signs of the progress of the merit principle. What we need is deeper understanding of the ramifications and implications of the merit sys- tem, with an active and energized sentiment insisting on larger and higher applications of it—Chicago Record-Herald.

Fact is, nothing pleased him. First, he coniplained about sleeping in a bed with the hired man, and when we give him a bed to himself in a room with four of the children he was still dissatisfied. “Then she didn’t like to use the towel we all used, and he wanted a wash basin in his room. Nothing suited him at all. I. don’t know whether you would be so hard to please or not.” ~ . “Well,” the city man said, “per- haps I'd better not chance it.”;- Youth’s Companion. “BLIND GIRL DOES WELL.

New York.—(Special.) — Preachers who cotiuuct themselves unbecoming: ly, and who are none too particular about thelr morals, came in for severe criticism at the last session of the In- terdenominational Preachers’ meeting. Resglutions were passed denounc- ing the immoral preacher, and the conference went on record as being opposed to those ministers waose characters are impeachable. The resolutions adopted follow: “The members of the Interdenomi- national Preachers’ meeting of New York and vicinity learn with sorrow ot divers form of immorality among the clergy, regardless of secticn, po- sition and denomination, and desire to place themselves on record con- cerning the’ immoral preacher as fol- lows; “First. We denounce bis conduct as vehemently as we possibly can, but do not sympathize with the wholesale and extravagant statement that classifies the many good With the few bad preachers; the bad are the exception and not the rule in the holy calling, “Second. We believe the remedy for this syminatrical enemy, of a weak, struggling race .of people 1s jargely in the bands (1) of the bet: ter class of preachers who saould withdraw from him ministerial cour- tesy, (2) of the appointing powers, and (3) of influential laymen. s “Thisr. We reaffirm our deep abid- ing conviction that the personal mor- al character of the Christian minister should be absolutely unimpeachable.” Rey. William R. A. Palmer is pres- ident of the Interdenominational Preachers’ meeting and Rey, Freder- ick H. Butler is secretary. NO NEED FOR “ORGAN.” Prof. Booker “T. Washington Tells Why He Never-Owned a Newspaper. It has Been suggested to me at dit- ferent times that I should purchase a@ Negio newspaper- in order that 1 might aaye an “organ” to make known my views on matters concern- ing the policies and interests of, the race. Certain persons have suggest- ed also that I pay money to certain of these papers in order to make sure that they support my views. I am convinced, however, that eith- er of these two courses would have proved fatal. The minute it should become known — and it would be known—that I owned an “organ” the other papers would cease to support me as they now do, If I should at- tempt to use money with some papers, I skould soon have to use it with all. Although I might gain for myself some apparent and temporary advan- tage In this way. 1 sould destroy thé value and influence of the very papers that support me. I say this because if 1 should attempt to hire men to write what they do not them- selves believe or only half believe, the articles, or editorials, they write would cease to have the true ring; and when they cease to have tae true ring, they will exert little or no in- “fluence.—Booker ‘I.
