The Savannah VOL. XXVI. Experts to Reorganize Its Finances. W. M. SHUSTER IS TREASURER GENERAL W. Morgan Shuster, of Washington, Will Be Appointed Treasurer General of the Empire, and Four Other Americans Will Assist Him in the Work Which Will Take at Least Three Years. Washington, D. C.—To assist the Persian government in reorganizing its finances W. Morgan Shuster, of this city, will be appointed treasurer general of the empire. Mr. Shuster, who reorganized the Philippine customs service and revised the Philippine tariff law, is one of five Americans who will be employed by Persia in its financial rehabilitation. The Persian Parliament recently passed a law authorizing the government to seek five American experts to reorganize the finances. The Persian charge in Washington thereupon took up the matter with the State Department, which suggested the names of five Americans competent to undertake the task. In addition to the treasurer general, the positions to be filled by Americans are those of inspector and an expert accountant, who will serve as assistants to the treasurer general, and a director of taxation, with one assistant. The American appointees will be under the direction of the Persian Minister of Finance and their contracts will be for a minimum, of three years. Arrangements practically have been completed for the appointment of these other experts, and their names will be announced shortly. The advent of the Americans in Persia will be in line with the policy of the new regime of the empire to introduce foreign talent in various capacities for the purpose of modernizing the administration of the country. Mr. Shuster has had many years of experience abroad in the service of the United States government. From 1898 to 1901 he was in Cuba, chiefly in the customs service, and in 1901 he was appointed collector of customs for the Philippine Islands, having charge of reorganizing the Philippine customs service and revising the Philippine tariff laws. Upon the recommendation of President Taft, who was then secretary of war, Mr. Shuster was appointed by President Roosevelt in 1906 secretary of public instruction in the Philippine Islands and a member of the Philippine Commission. He is a member of the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States and of the federal Court of Customs Appeals, as well as of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia. $10,000 FOR A CALF. Record Price for Youngster Only Seven Weeks Old. Brockton, Mass.—Daniel W. Field, of this city, has announced the sale of his seven weeks' old Royal purple bull calf, Aggie Cornucopia Sir Colantha, to W. H. Miner, of Chicago, the purchase price being $10,000, the highest amount, it is believed, ever paid for a young bull. The bull was, figuratively, born with a silver spoon in its mouth, its dam and sire being world's champions. The dam was Aggie Cornucopia Pauline, owned by Mr. Field. Pauline is the world's champion senior four-year-old. The sire is Colantha Johanna Lad, also owned by Mr. Field. He paid $8,000 for the bull. Both sire and dam are products of previous world's champions. Mr. Miner operates a farm of 7,000 acres at Chase, N. Y. He is stocking his farm with the best horses and cattle that he can secure. A few days ago he sent an expert agent to this city and the purchase price was agreed upon. VISIT OF FRENCH SQUADRON. Will Stop at New Orleans and the Naval Academy. Washington, D. C. — Lieutenant Commander Benoist d'Azy, the French naval altache, called upon Acting Secretary Winthrop at the Navy Department to notify him that the French squadron in the West Indies will visit New Orleans between February 23 and 25. As the Mardi Gras festivities begin on February 28, it is believed the French sailors will probably remain until that time. There are three vessels in the squadron—the Corde, the Glofre and the Admiral Aulac. The same vessels also will pay a visit to the Naval Academy at Annapolis between March 12 and 17. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1911. TOMBOFMILLIONAIREOBBED Ghonls Carry Off Woman's Body From Cemetery. Erie, Pa. — Body-snatching that may equal the daring grave ghouls who stirred the country more than a quarter of a century ago when the body of A. T. Stewart, New York's pioneer merchant, was stolen, has stirred this section of Pennsylvania in indignation at its daring as nothing has since the sensational kidnapping which occurred in this vicinity a few years ago. The mausoleum of one of the most prominent families of this section of the state was desecrated. A body is missing from the vault of the family of the late Congressman William L. Scott. The police of neighboring cities and communities within 400 miles have been notified of the crime. The discovery was made by two women walking through the Erie Cemetery. The family was immediately notified and a watch was placed in the cemetery at midnight after all assurances were made that the missing body was not in the vicinity. Is Mrs. McCollum's Body. While the police have been informed of the grave-robbing, no name is attached to the missing body by them. The first information to the public came from the family, but again no name is given. It is known, however, that the body taken by the ghouls is that of Mrs. McCollum, sister-in-law of the late Mr. Scott. The police believe the body is being held for ransom and that the vandals also intended to carry away the bodies of the millionaire and his wife. Investigation showed that the casket containing the body of Mrs. McCollum had been carried away. The caskets are sealed in a wall, and a chisel had been used in breaking the seals before the metallic box could be carried away. That the casket and body were carried away in a wagon is indicated by tracks in the snow about the mausoleum. The footprints of four, and, in some instances, six men are discernible about a point where the end of a wagon might be placed. Cemetery Offers Reward. The Erie Cemetery Association offered a reward of $1,000 for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the ghouls who desecrated the mausoleum. Later developments indicate that the body of Mrs. Anna M. McCollum had been taken from the casket before its removal from the mausoleum. Parts of the casket were found scattered over the floor of the vault. Although a large force of detectives are making a thorough search of the city not a trace of the robbers or the missing body has been found. LOCAL OPTION FOR ALABAMA. House Passes Bill And the Senate Is For It. Montgomery, Ala.—By a vote of 58 to 44 the House of Representatives passed the Parks Local Option bill. As the Senate is known to be overwhelmingly in favor of a local option bill, it is believed that the Parks bill will be rushed through that body and become a law before the end of next week. The bill provides that 45 per cent. of the number that vote for Governor can petition for an election on the question of "wet" or "dry." It also provides for distilleries and breweries. TO BE 41 STORIES HIGH. Seattle's New Skyscraper To Be the Highest Outside of New York. $ ^{4} $ Seattle, Wash.—The last obstacle in the way of the erection of a 41-story building in this city by the estate of the late C. M. Smith, of Syracuse, N. Y., was removed, when the council committee that has been going over the plans voted to grant the permit. The local agent for the Smith estate informed the committee that he skyscraper, which will be the highest office building in the world outside of New York city, will be begun within the next six weeks. Twenty Years For Lyncher. Newark, Ohio. — Judge Weygandt overruled the motion for a new trial Carl Etherington, a "dry" detective, who was found guilty of manslaughter for complicity in the lynching of Carl Etherington, a "dry" detective, in this city last July and sentenced McKinley to twenty years in the Ohio penitentiary. Bear-Admiral Terry Dead. Washington, D. C.—Rear-Admiral Silas Wright Terry, retired, who was prominently-identified-with the naval operations of the Civil War, died at his Washington home of pneumonia. He was a native of Wallanla, Ky., where he was born 68 years ago. HOUSE INCREASES ITS MEMBERSHIP Crumpacker Bill Fixes Size of House For Ten Years. BASED ON THE 1910 CENSUS REPORT. Democrats, Aided by Few Republicans, Win Fight for Increased Representation—Reapportionment Under the Census of 1910—New York Gains Six and Pennsylvania Four Additional Representatives. Washington, D. C.—After March 4, 1913, the Senate concurring, the House of Representatives will consist of 433 members. This is the result of an all-day struggle in the House over the question of reapportionment, which finally resulted in the passage of the Crumpacker bill fixing the size of the House for ten years, commencing with the Sixth-third Congress, at the number stated. If Arizona and New Mexico should be admitted to statehood, they will be given one representative each, bringing the total up to 435. Under the new reapportionment plan no state loses a member. The following states gain the number indicated: Alabama, 1; California, 3; Colorado, 1; Florida, 1; Georgia, 1; Idaho, 1; Illinois, 2; Louisiana, 1; Massachusetts, 2; Michigan, 1; Minnesota, 1; Montana, 1; New Jersey, 2; New York, 6; North Dakota, 1; Ohio, 1; Oklahoma, 3; Oregon, 1; Pennsylvania, 4; Rhode Island, 1; South Dakota, 1; Texas, 2; Utah, 1; Washington, 2; West Virginia, 1. The House spent more than five hours in discussing and voting upon the bill and various proposed amendments. An amendment offered by Representative Bennet, of New York, and designed to cut down Southern representation, was voted down by 154 to 96. Champ Clark, of Missouri, in favoring an increase in membership declared that the real work of the House would continue to be performed in committees and that the number of representatives on the floor would make little or no difference. MONUMENT TO LINCOLN. Senate Passes Senator Cullom's Bill With House Amendments. Washington, D. C. — The Senate Wednesday concurred in the House amendments to Senator Cullom's bill providing for the erection in Washington of an appropriate monument to the memory of, Abraham Lincoln. The House so amended the bill as to place Senator Cullom and Speaker Cannon on the permanent commission. Senator Root moved concurrence by the Senate and the motion was unanimously adopted. The proposed monument is to cost $2,000,000. This Is Result of Vote-Selling Probe In Joeccannontown. Chicago—Eighty indictments have been voted by the grand jury of Vermillion county in the vote-selling investigation. One city official and one county official are included among those named in true bills. More than a hundred additional indictments are under consideration. This action by the jury is taken to mean a fight to the finish against the influences that have been exerted against a continuance of the inquiry. 3 YEARS FOR BANK WRECKERS. Crawford Brothers Sentenced For Breaking American Trust Co. Philadelphia.—Pleading guilty to charges of wrecking the American Trust Company, of this city, Dr. J. Kanler Crawford and Joseph S. Crawford, brothers, and vice-president and secretary-treasurer, respectively, of the institution, were each sentenced to three years in the county prison and fined $500 in Quarter Sessions Court here. Woman 136 Years Old Dying. Fort Worth, Texas.—At the great age of 136 years and undoubtedly the oldest white woman in the world, Mrs. Lucy Owens is dying at the home of her daughter, a centenarian, a few miles west of Long View. Mrs. Owens was born in North Carolina when the Revolutionary War broke out, and three years later she saw George Washington. She is the only living person who has seen Washington. U. S. Minister Bars Cook. Copenhagen—U. S. Minister Egan, in accordance with the university opinion, has written Cook dissuading him from a visit here, fearing unpleasant demonstrations. WHOLE FAMILY WIPED OUT Husband and Wife Die in a Suicide Pact. New York.—Joseph Barrett, on his way up the stairs of the apartment house at 750 Fulton street, Brooklyn, stumbled against a man. Barrett struck out with his right hand. "What are you doing here?" he asked. "It's you, Bernard, is it? What are you doing here?" "Oh, it's you, Barrett, is it?" said the man on the stairs. "I don't know what to do. I've go 50 cents between my family and starvation. What would you do?" "I think," said Joe Barrett, "I would go to bed and look for a job in the morning. Go on. That's a good fellow." With a nod, the man turned into a third-floor flat as Barrett climbed another flight of stairs to the fourth floor. Barrett told his wife that he had met Frank Bernard in the hallway and that Barrett seemed depressed. Some hours later, at getting-up time, Barrett smelled gas. For a time the odor was hard to locate. He went up a flight of stairs and made sure it came from the Bernard flat. He tried the doors. All were locked. He went to his own apartment and used the fire escape to the apartment above. In the bedroom of the Bernard apartment Mr. Barrett found Frank Bernard, his wife and two small children dead on the bed. Gas was rushing from opened cocks in the ceiling chandelier. Mr. Barrett notified the police, and Borough Inspector James Dillon and Capt. B. J. Hayes, of the Bergen street station, made a formal investigation. It seemed that Mr. and Mrs. Bernard had agreed to die together and take their children with them. There was no indication of a struggle. The father and mother lay clasped in each other's arms, with their children, George, four years old, and Daniel, two years old, in their arms. After questioning the people in the house Inspector Dillon concluded that Bernard had become so despondent because of failure to obtain work that he had persuaded his wife to join him in committing suicide. Frank Bernard was a well-known athletic trainer. He was a member of the old Union Athletic Club, Pineapple and Fulton streets, and was known all over the country as an amateur athlete. He ran in short events from 100 yards up to a quarter of a mile, and was also a good jumper and hurdler. He became a professional some years ago and conquested in the Caledonian and Irish-American games, and in contests in all parts of the country. He was successful and well liked. SAFE BLOWER SECURES $1,800. Citizens Held At Bay Outside Bank By Two Confederates. Linwood, Kansas.—Three robbers blew up the safe of the Linwood State Bank and escaped with $1,800 in silver and currency. Citizens were held at bay outside the building by two of the men while their companion inside emptied the safe. With drawn revolvers the three men retreated to the outskirts of town and disappeared. Schenk Files Suit. Wheeling, West Virginia. — John O: Schenk, millionaire packer, filed the petition in his suit for divorce against Mrs. Laura Farnsworth Schenk, recent defendant in the famous poisoning trial. He names Daniel Z. Phillips, a plano salesman of Wheeling, as co-respondent. Pending hearing of the divorce suit Schenk agrees to pay his wife $25 a week alimony. Model of Columbus' Ship. Paris. — The Marine Museum of the Louvre has been enriched by what is described as an excellent model on miniature of Columbus' ship the Santa Marla. Rear Admiral Besson presided at the dedicatory exercises, the feature of which was the story of the voyage and discovery of America, retold by M. Rompol, professor of naval archeology. Two Hurt on U. S. Dolphin. Washington, D. C.—An explosion of one saluting charge of a gun on the American gunboat Dolphin, now at Port-au-Prince, Haiti, caused "extensive, superficial burns" to two of her crew, according to a telegram received by the Secretary of the Navy from Captain Laws, of the vessel. Kidnapper Gets Twenty-five Years. Kidnapper Gets Twenty-five Years. New York, — Giovanni Gangl, a peddler, who was convicted last week of kidnapping five-year-old Rosina Glorino, the daughter of a baker, last March, was sentenced by Judge Crain In the Court of General Sessions to 25 years in the state prison. COMMENT ON CURRENT LITERATURE CONCERNING NEGRO. The year just passed has been a memorable one in many ways. Triumphs in science, art, politics, medicine, etc., have startled mankind so frequently that we no longer lose our equanimity or poise. When we hear of the brilliant achievements of some daring mind we simply take it all as a matter of course and proceed again to "chase our favorite phantom." To us who, as Doctor DuBois says, are "behind the vell," the progress of the nation has a two-fold significance. With whatever has to do with uplift or advancement we are interested; first, as American civilians, next we always ask ourselves what has this or that phase of activity to do with us as Negroes? This last named fact makes the Negro's position a peculiar one, as well as imperative the use of profound thought in any attempt to solve the problem of his adjustment to the changing conditions of American life. In the last year we have witnessed the perfecting of many kinds of machinery calculated to do all the world's work better and more quickly than it has ever been done before. Men trained in certain lines of endeavor have been forced to seek new ways of earning their daily bread as a consequence, and in the readjustment that always follows reform in the methods of doing things there must be much temporary or permanent suffering—temporary if those affected possess the thrift and industry necessary to the mastery of new difficulties; permanent if they are lacking in the virile qualities of courage, perseverance and determinaton. The year's progress in mechanical science has one lesson for us: We must acquire skill, we must learn as a working people and God grant that we may always be that the power of getting the maximum return from the minimum of effort and expenditure. In political science we have witnessed the triumph of the Socialist party in one state, the establishment of the referendum and commission government in some places, the earnest advocacy of election of United States senators by popular vote, the growth of the tendency to ignore party lines in the appointment of men to positions of power and trust, and the tendency to apply to the business of government more and more the principles which are cardinal in the conduct of private enterprises. In order that these reforms may be brought to successful consummation it is very necessary that the ballot be used intelligently, since nearly all of them tend to give the people a larger share in saying what shall or shall not be. Any increase in the responsibility of citizenship makes it obligatory upon us, as well as the whites, to rise equal to the occasion in the cultivation of those powers that will help us to realize the new ideals, rather than retard that realization. As a people we are the poorest and most ignorant port of the body politic, and therefore, indirectly the chief beneficiaries of all the triumphs on the field of sanitary endeavor and hygiene. The scientific battle against tuberculosis, is a battle for us, and in it every Negro man and child ought to have a part, both with money and with brain. In a word, then, the world is moving forward at a rapid pace and the American people are in the vanguard. No other year has been more productive of results tending to make this "old globe" filter to live on, and at no previous time in the world's history have men been happier or had more good reasons so to be. We have no cause to be ashamed of our contribution to the onward movement. Naturally our efforts are largely concentrated on our own development, yet this in a sense is the most effective way in which we can possibly serve the general good and incidentally lessen the difficulties in the world problems. Incidentally it may be said that the most impres- FASHION NOTES. Persian silks, in combination with other materials, are very noticeable in all the newer models. It was quite late in the season before the Persian patterns were generally adopted, but now that they have won their way we may expect to see them in everyting from the daintiest chiffons to the ordinary grades of silk and satin. Silk-covered cord is a speca ttrimming that makes a gown look individual, and is thicker than what is known as rattall. Bordered materials are just as much liked as during the summer season. Chiffon, in particular, is shown in beautiful patterns. It is not uncommon to see a dress made of two sections of bordered goods, the second piece appearing like a band half way down the skirt. It is a delight to see the extent to which black velveteens and black velvet are worn. In the early part of the season it seemed that no color except black would be seen in these materials, but all the leading colors have since made their appearance and are universally seen. NO. 22. sive fact about the Negro is his sublime hopefulness—his buoyant spirit is irrepressible—he is working under difficulties always, struggling manfully both against the outer world and himself. His prayer is the warrior's prayer: "We do not ask that thou shouldst lead the way, Or drive the warring foeman from the height: We only ask, O Lord, by night, by day. The magazines are full of articles describing the recent hostile attitude of many Mexicans toward American citizens because of the lynching of one of their race in Texas. What a pity them are not at equal pains to give the same publicity to lynching bees when the victim of the festivities is a black man. In the last twenty-five years 2,425 colored men have been lynched in the United States without trial. In 1892 there were 155; in 1909, 73; in 1910, 50. Just think of it, reader, over 2,000 souls snatched away in defiance of law. How could it be otherwise than that the moral foundations of society in those sections where this form of lawlessness prevails should be weakened and undermined. Justice in the courts is a joke, not only for Negroes, but for white men as well. Frank Bass, professor of anthropology in Columbia university, has an admirable paper on "The Real Race Problem" in the Crisis. He shows very clearly that the widespread claim of superiority in weight of brain of whites over Negroes means far less than has been claimed. Professor Bass also takes issue with those who claim that the mulatto is a degenerate, having vices of both races and none of the virtues. He very pertinently asks: "Why do those who claim this to be true are always so hasty to ascribe; whatever progress a mulatto may make to his white blood?" "In order to induce the city of Savannah to relieve the wretchedly crowded Negro schools by a new building," says a contemporary, the colored people are raising money to buy a site if the city will put up the building. We-wonder when the time will come that white people will realize that no other investment pays like the public school? A large mass of ignorance is a menace to the security and dignity of any community and it is safer, as well as more economical by far to prevent the growth of crime than to pay the bill for its commission. The South can never hope to take its place in the councils of the nation until the character of citizenship there is improved and elevated. The pages of history tell us of no more effective agent in such uplifting than the public school—it is the "civic Holy of Holles."—James R. Harris in Illinois Chronicle. Ten Tons of Diamonds Prodigious diamonds are not so common as is generally supposed, says Sir William Crookes in the North American Review. Diamonds weighing over an ounce (151.5 carats) are not infrequent at Kimberly. I have seen in one parcel of stones eight perfect ounce crystals and one inestable stone weighing two ounces. The largest known diamond, "the Cullinan," was found in the new Premier mine. It weighs no less than 3.02 carats. To Stamp Out Trachoma. The authorities of several states of Brazil are reported by the consul general of Rio de Janerio as making determined efforts to stamp out trachoma, the eye disease that has been rapidly spreading in that country. SPORTING NOTES. The fifth annual convention, bowling tournament and carnival of the National Bowling association will be held in Buffalo, N. Y. February 25 to March 18, 1911. In England football players are num bered. Many gridiron experts In America are in favor of this method, and next season the innovation may be adopted. Sweetland, the new rowing coach at Wisconsin, was at Syracuse, Colgate; Hamilton, Ohio State and Kentucky State as coach in various sports before he went to Madison. In the recent Missouri-lowa foot ball game the seventeen punts of New well of Missouri averaged forty-one yards. LABOR LIFTS FOUND IN PAPER Crushed newspapers are splendid to clean lamp chimneys. To wrap furs and woolens in for the summer they are good. --- SOUTHERN VIEW OF RACE ISSUE Roanoke Newspaper Publishes an Able Editorial "Negroes and Negroes." Roanoke, Va.—(Spectal.)—An editorial was published by the Roanoke Times, a prominent white daily, on "Negroes and Negroes," which has attracted no little attention in the South, in which a contrast is made of a class of Negroes in the South and another class in the North. It is charged that while in the South the Negroes of that section display good humor, there is a certain class in the North who seek to engender race antipathy. Reference is made to the recent appeal to Europe of disgruntled Negroes for outside interference. "At the North is a class of Negroes who seem to be always in a passion always sour and quarrelsome and anxious to make discord. They are in sharp contrast to the vast majority of our Southern Negroes who almost always are in good humor, ready to laugh at the least opportunity and always among the first and foremost to enjoy whatever may be going on. The curious part is that while the happy Negro at the South as a rule is poor, and sometimes, poor fellow, very poor, the fussy and ill-contrived and snarling Negro at the North frequently is rich, as we count wealth in this part of the county; and the richer he gets the more discontented he seems to be. Our explanation of it is that those at the North have social aspirations. They are not satisfied to associate with their own race, but try to mix with the rich and well-to-do white people. Being turned down, they turn bitter and proceed to try to make everybody also so, to throw a spider into every dumpling, to disturb every movement and pleasure. They shriek continually over the wrongs of the Southern Negro, concern themselves much more about him than he is concerned about himself. Like incendiaries trying to throw lighted matches into a powder magazine, tay stand off and send into the South lines of inflammatory literature and speeches, urging the Southern Negro to all kinds of desperate deeds, trying to incite him to make trouble for himself and his white neighbors alike, while they carefully keep at a safe distance and watch that their own skins are kept whole. They attempt to play John Brown, lacking Brown's courage and readiness to take for himself the chances to which he carried others. Fortunately the Southern Negro has too much sense to be guided by any such people, gives them no attention and goes on quietly about his business. Provincialisms are little irritants which take the longest to sothe away. To avoid the bargain counter is some women's way of avoiding the occasion of sin. A man's fortune may improve his financial standing, but it doesn't make him proof against higher arbiters. A man thinks he is not conceived when he stops to discuss himself unceasingly; but he can't well conceal the fact that he is unceasingly thinking about himself. Life is brief, then why make such an awful rumpus for a tiny disappointment? Mundane glory and fame are like red toy-balloons, terfere with your neighbor's ambitions. To scorn anything is not showing the world that we are superior; rather that we do not understand. The mathematical mind can cope with everything but the things which require only understanding. First aids to beauty go out of fashion at regular intervals and are superseded by others, yet it is hard for women to believe that men are not ensnared by the proper amount of puffs and switches. When loves meet, the journey's end fully justifies the means. The cheerful liar makes everybody smile with incredulity. A man who searches too long for excuses generally uses them too late. Moral weaknesses spoil the individual's fiber when no correction is administered. It isn't how much powder a woman puts on that counts; it's how much actually sticks. No woman can forgive cavalier treatment, however ready she may be to overlook indifference. Some homes are used as inns, only they lack the up-to-date conveniences of expensive hotels. To envy is human, to rejoice with others, divine. Matrimony is for the wise, yet too many fools rush in and call it failure. Baby hands have a way of guiding the most perverse heart back to the straight paths. Sorrow has a way of staying where she thinks she's welcome. Silence is more than gold; it's radium. To wish for the paths of peace and righteousness, though no one is looking on, should be a normal desire and not demand praise. It seems as if some men lie, when there is no need of it, just to keep in practice. Most men enter upon discussious armed for verbal revenge. Friendship is something the average woman finds little use for, yet she has the name forever on her lips. "Booker Washington is a citizen we have under observation. He seems almost too good to be true, and we never have got quite ready to endorse him fully. Yet so long as he seems to be trying to do good and help his race, we are glad to do all we can to encourage and help him. A man like that, when we know nothing against him but feel just doubtful enough not to be able to boost with full enthusiasm, we do not knock. It is much better to give a man a life on suspicion that he is all right, than a kick on suspicion that he may be otherwise. Washington recently gave some encouraging reports of the condition and progress of the Negroes in the South and of the improved relations between them and the white people. These were published abroad. "Thereupon the Northern Negroes issued and sent through Europe a denunciation of Washington and his work and assertions. Every line of their proclamation, or whatever it may be, is steeped in vemon and bristling with vindictiveness. They denounce most viciously all the white people of this country. They say the Negro race has been betrayed and deserted, is oppressed, down-trodden, in every way mistreated; and they invite the aid of the civilization of the world to rescue him—means not indicated. We observe among the signatures that of 'ex-Alderman Morgan, of Cambridge, Mass. Apparently these people care nothing for how much they may cripple Washington and his work for their race, how much harm they may do their race in the South, how much strife and trouble they may cause. Their whole purpose appears to be to vent their hate against the white man everywhere. Why, feeling as they do, they refuse to leave and go back to Africa and join themselves to those Negroes there who are supposed to be free and happy under their own associates and management, we do not know. "The Northern Negro of that kind used to be a danger. A good many specimens came South to aid in reconstruction work. They were the most degraded villainous and corrupt of all the carpet-baggers. Driven from here, and preaching incendiary doctrines at the North, they continued to be dangers. Presently they relapsed into nuisances. Now they do not attain even to the dignity of an annoyance. But they continue to try to do harm. The Southern Negro usually is so free from malice and these people are so full of it that the difference is striking. It is said that Homer sometimes nodded, but then why shouldn't he have done so? We have nodded ourselves over certain passage in the Odyssey, nay, more, we have ever fallen asleep over them. It is said that Noah rejoiced when he landed on Mount Ararat, but there is nothing extraordinary about that. He was not met at the landing-stage by a regiment of custom-house inspectors authorized by the government to yank the porous plaster off his back in search of pearl necklaces, hobble skirts and other dutiful articles It is said that Isaac Newton discovered the principle of gravitation because an apple falling from a tree hit him on the end of his nose, but we are not at all surprised. It was also a pippin that, striking Adam, in the stomach, demonstrated to him the principle of levitation. He was bounced so high he never came back. It is said that Shakespeare produced his plays without scenery, but what if he did? Are we not today continually producing musical comedies without comedy? It is said that Columbus dropped a letter to Queen Isabella, announcing his discovery, into the sea, and never heard from it again, but, after all, that is an every-day sort of an occurrence. We have written to Bildad on the first of every month for the past eight years reminding him of a loan of nine dollars made to him in 1897, and we haven't heard from it again, either—Harper's Weekly.

"Make New Year resolutions." — Washington Star. "Your wife is gone to the dressmaker's to try on a new dress." "I am glad of that. I feared she had gone to pay for the last one."—Flilezende Blaetter. HE IS WORTH NEARLY HALF A MILLION DOLLARS INTERESTING CAREER OF ALLEN L. CALHOUN WHO LIVES AT KEYSTONE, WEST VIRGINIA. POWER IN HIS COMMUNITY Never Went to School and Cannot Write, But Has the Reputation of Being a Shrewd Business Man. Keystone, W. Va.,—(Special.)—McDowell County, West Virginia, boasts of a remarkable Negro in the person of Allen L. Calhoun, of Keystone. Calhoun has long been a central figure in the political and commercial life of the community, and is today worth nearly half a million dollars. He does not himself know the exact value of his property, as he owns several thousand acres of coal land said to contain veins of coal of a fine quality, though never thoroughly tested. The city of Keystone has a population of more than two thousand, over two-thirds of whom are colored. Situated near the center of the Pocahontas coal field, it contains many upodate business places conducted by Negroes, and draws for its trade upon the 100,000 or more miners who work in the many collieries in that section. Calhoun owns nearly one-third of Keystone, and his holdings include many houses, a grocery store, two restaurants, and works from early morning until late at night. He seldom takes a vacation, and seems to have the happy faculty of imparting his zeal and earnestness to the various clerks whom he employs. Born a slave in Virginia just before the close of the war, Calhoun at an early age began to dig coal in the mines. Being very saving, he soon acquired enough to begin lending money to miners at a good rate of interest. Later he became of foreman in the mines, and had charge of a large force of miners. He began to purchase property, quit mining, and went into business. That was probably twenty-five years ago. Since then all his business ventures have been crowned with success. He owns land in every section of McDowell County, has two large brick business blocks in Bluefield, W. Virginia, and a large farm in Virginia. He has a fashion of having his initials painted upon all his houses, and the initials "A. L. C." are everywhere in evidence in the Pocahontas field. Calhoun never went to school, cannot write, and reads with the greatest difficulty, having to spell out each word. He employs several shrewd young men, who attend to the clerical part of his business. He is a widower with six children, and is a good father. His boys display an aptitude for business that is remarkable. One little chap eight years old sells lemonade on the streets in the summer and newspapers in the winter. A fondness for fine clothes and horses seems to be Calhoun's only weakness, as he does not smoke nor drink. He manages to get a good deal of wear out of the clothes, however, and has to ride a great deal in collecting his many rents in municipal affairs he plays the leading part. He has been one of the two colored councilmen of Keystone The Negroes of Keystone have never wanted a colored mayor, and that office, and the offices of city recorder and chief of police are always filled by white men. The jailor and two of the four police officers are colored. No one can be elected or appointed to any of these offices, however, without Calhoun's O. K. Consequently there is seldom any opposition to anything he wishes to have done. There are five Negroes justices of the peace and as many Negro constables in McDowell, and it is very difficult to obtain a judgment against Calhoun. He is shrewd enough, however, not to demand anything unreasonable, and this, with his great interest in civic affairs, makes him very much respected by both races. The Negroes and whites live side by side in harmony in Keystone, and Calhoun is largely responsible for this condition of affairs. He will take the part of a white man against a Negro or that of a Negro against a white man, if he thinks he is in the right. Announcement has just been made that James K. Polk Taylor, an exslave who now lives at Colorado Springs, Colo., has just given four hundred acres of land at Calhan, 40 miles east of Colorado Springs to the Charles Sumner Tuberculosis association for a site for a national tuberculosis sanitarium for colored people. Three hundred thousand dollars, it is understood, will be spent on the sanitarium. It's better to have signed Lie pledge than never to have drunk at all. Disinfecting Churches. The Alcado of Madrid, who, at least in sanitary matters, is decidedly progressive, has issued an order for the disinfection of churches. This order, which is based on a report from the director of the municipal laboratory, prescribes that all the churches of the Spanish capital are to be swept out daily: with sawdust moistened with a solution of copper sulphate. All the fittings and furniture of the churches, chairs, benches, confessional, holy water fonts, etc., are to be disinfected every day. ADVICE GIVEN TO NEGRO FARMERS ADVICE GIVEN TO NEGRO FARMERS "Get Off the Credit System You Can Not Fight the Boll Weevil on Credit." Elberton, Ga., — (Special.)—Cooperation between the ministers and farmers of the Negro race were emphasized here when the presiding elder of the Elberton district, the Rev Dr. C. L. Bonner, and the ministers of the district met in a farmers' conference with Negro farmers of Elbert Hart, Franklin, Stephens and adjacent counties here recently. The call was issued by the Rev. C. L. Bonner, a prominent minister in the Colored Methodist Episcopal church, who stated in his address that he recognized the importance of the Negro ministry getting in closer touch with the practical lives of the people. "The Negro minister must become more and more a producer," said Doctor Bonner. "It is not alone meet that we should live on the people—be consumers—and not contribute to the production and wealth of the people in a material sense. In this campaign for rural education which we mean to carry on through our Hartwell school, we have the Co-operation of Prof. H. C. Clark, of Clark university, and I trust sincerely that every preacher among us will encourage this movement in the highest degree." The demonstration work was carried on under the able direction of Professor Parks. The history and habits of the boll weevil was discussed by the Hon Lee Wassam, state entomologist. Prof. Parks discussed the steps necessary to prepare the Negro farmer for the boll weevil, advising the farmers that the first step was the growing of food supplies for the individual family use and for stock. Under this nee discussed a thorough and systematic cultivation of the soil, a careful selection of commercial fertilizers and advised that more attention be paid to barn-yard manures. The work the government was doing to fight the boll weevil and to lay plans before farmers for success in this endeavor was stressed by the speaker, who urged that greater co-operation with this government in this regard would be productive of better results. In the course of his remarks, Prof. Parks said: "The Negro farmer must get off the credit system. You can't fight the boll weevil on credit. At a recent meeting held in Atlanta for the purpose of discussing this matter the Negro farmer was considered the dark side of the problem, principally because, he was so hard to reach and did business on credit. Now, we have it on our power to change this condition to a very large extent." He complimented Reverened Bonner in urging co-operation between the preacher and farmer, and sald: "The colored minister does right when he attempts to get light on all subjects bearing upon the life and work of the peole he is to serve. No man can profitably teach a people in a fundamental way unless he knows the habits of that people and the life they live. It seems to me now that a cap-paign of education among the Negro farmers in Georgia led by the Negro minister will revolutionize the sentiment of the southern white people, and bring about a better spirit of cooperation one with the otauer in our agricultural work." Bishop L. H. Holsey, of Ttlanta, attended the meeting and lent much encouragement help to the deliberations. EDITORIAL FLASHES. He that is untrue to himself will prove false to his friends. There should exist an earnest desire to be honest and just in all things. Deception does not contribute to human happiness. + Our boys and girls should be taught that rough hands and tanned faces caused from honest toil demand higher respect among civilized people than soft hands and concealed razors, pistols and other necessary instruments for a crap game or vaudeville show. We may think ourselves good and strive hard to appear good, but what does our own heart think of ourselves and know of ourselves when others do not see, and where others can not see? Haru work is not half so mean a master as laziness. Nearly every foreigner that comes to America is a fugitive from justice, either dodging military training or taxation. Like the Russian Jew who comes to the United States of America seeking relief from ravial natred or religious persecution. The Italian anarchist with his "dynamite bomb" defying American laws in every instance and seeking the life of our executive heads are far more dangerous than the defend rather than offend the laws of this Commonwealth. Good manners among young men and young women are as becoming today as years ago, not withstanding the "fastness" of this age. The best that is in us must lead us to God; if we consecrate that best to the devil; when will we reach the higher road that leads to God? The Negro will not find any competition on the farm. With all the agriculture colleges the white man will only be a book farmer. The Philosopher Education is so little a matter of text-books and so much a matter of example and ambition, that, we don't wonder at college professors entering politics. The woman who creates the illusion of good looks is doing a greater service than the good looking one who takes little account of her possibilities. Most women think they can win by arguments, when they ought to have found out by this time that silence conquers lots of male mulishness. The girl with the ready smile gets more attention that she's looking for; the one with the grouch wonders why she doesn't attract anybody. Some women think of paradise as a continuous bargain day with enough money to stop at every counter. The pedestrian of today knows he has only one right, the right way to sneak out of the motorist's path Some folks admire the unconventional, but they are more afraid of it than of sudden death. To burn the midnight oil often a man is only studious how to send the bill to his father. Psychology may be the newest science, but it is certainly one of the oldest frauds. There comes a time when some men forget what a great boon solitude used to be. Courtesy is only worth while when it springs from love toward our kind. Take as much advice as you are willing to give and let it go at that. Pin faith in your brothers, but don't tempt them with the family silver. Life without friendship is profitless, like a book with only blank pages. The man who pays the piper never realizes how much he has danced. Discrimination saves many a sinner from grievous errors of taste. A precipice is something most girls would call a sudden "step-off." One doesn't have to be a philologist to say the right thing always. A wife's silence can be made the most cruel of arraignments. Let your neighbor's faults alone and they will gradually diminish. Some people's consciences are well-trained not to bother them. The most wonderful women known are those who love silence. A man's friends are so outside his wife's Venetian blinds. A husband is judged by the clothes his wife can wear. Opportunity is only another name for foresight. A cheery manner opens all doors to friendship. Travel broadens one as far as one's powers of absorption and adaptability will allow. The philosophic mind finds peace by making its own happiness out of more nothings. The spiritual egotist is as great a sinner against his kind as the material egoist. The fellow who gives freely at Christmas time should let it go at that. It isn't the man who is always jotting down figures who's the most moneyed. Matrimonial ventures are taken in a spirit of adventure too often not to turn into misadventures. The debutante sticks close to her mamma only while the debut party orchestra plays. Moonlight is only one out of a thousand excuses susceptible man has for love-making. The pessimist is one man who should be muted the rest of his abnormal existence. Some people would never be contented not to have some source of discontent. Human nature at its best is as favorable a crop as this world can produce. Exaggerated ego is the only thing that keeps many useless individuals from self-destructor. A woman's idea of comfort is putting all aidurupids on hubby's knee. Many men enjoy a dry smoke. Why not a dry drink? Too often sermons have too much length and too little depth—Judge.

They figured this hay to be worth $15 per ton in the barn, though hay was selling from $20 to $23 per ton. At this low rat. Ing they recelved a profit of $1,940 on the twenty-eight acres, the hay cost- Ing them only $3.47 per ton, Reports from the delta show that about fifty farmers are now growing alfalfa with success, all having seedad their. fields in the last three or four years. J. W. Fisher of Newport In the East Tennessee section, writes that he is greatly pleased with resylts, having averaged five tous per acre, and finding a ready sale at $22 per ton, but he has found the hay so good that he prefers feeding It to his own stock to selling it He has grown alfalfa on tie upland red calearefous clay, general throughout East Ten- nessee, Success in growing alfalfa is also reported by growers in South- ern Virginia, North Carolina and Ala- rama and the acreage devoted to al- falta in all the Southeastern states is growing steadily.

Those interested in the segregation of the races declare that a more valid ordinance will be formed and adopted by the city. The movement for the registration of voters should receive renewed impetus in every part of the state. The young men just becoming of age should be reached and caused to register. THE TRIBUNE agrees heartily with the Atlanta Independent in its able editorial on the ignoring of the Republican party organization in the state. The one or two men power in party affairs is not endorsed, and as stated, at the proper time, the ones responsible for it will find out in a no uncertain manner. What's the use of having county and district organizations if the officers are not to be consulted about party affairs. From reports received, more colored men are purchasing farm lands than ever before. This is an excellent sign and should reach the individuals in the cities, especially those with families in order that they may secure homes, matters not how humble they may be. Property and homes are in reach of the humblest wage earner and same can be secured at about the same rate as the payment of rent, especially after the initial payment. The support of the general public could be called to no more worthy cause than the charity ball of the Charity Hospital which is to be given at the Masonic Temple Thursday night, Feb. 23rd. The colored citizens of Savannah all know the indispensable good of Charity Hospital to our people and it is very essential that we support generously this entertainment thereby adding to the revenues of this reputable institution. There is a lively fight among the colored brethren of South Carolina for the presidency of the State College at Orangeburg of which Dr. Miller is now the head. By request of the sensational governor, Dr. Miller was asked to resign, same to be effective at the close of the present term. The state college has had wonderful growth since its inauguration and has grown continuously in public favor. The patrons of the college regret the resignation of President Miller, and especially are they displeased about the cause of it. About six months ago a Negro decided to go into business and having had a little experience in restaurant business naturally his choice fell in this direction. So he opened up a quick lunch stand on one of our principal streets. It was a rather inviting looking place from within and promised to be a success, the only draw back being that it was not very attractive from without but every one expected that this fault would be remedied in due season. Weeks passed and evidently no steps were being taken to make the place more drawing, and one would pass by seven times a week and not cast an eye in its direction. So friends of the proprietor having become a little apprehensive of his failure took upon themselves the liberty of discussing with him the reasons, why his business was not being largely patronized and tried to impress upon him the necessity of making the outside of his place of business as attractive as the inside and also mentioned the fact that a little advertising would help immeasurably in bringing in trade. But the proprietor could not see it this way and replied that he felt more trade could be brought in by individual efforts and that advertising on an extensive scale was a waste of money. As a consequence his business began to fall off day by day and at the end of a run of about three months he decided there was no money to be gotten out of the eating house business. He therefore closed down and hardly had the doors of his store been locked when a Greek applied for the place and in the course of three days was doing business of the very same nature at the very same stand. The pro- gress of the new proprietor was watched with much interest and after about two weeks he had one of the most attractive stands on the street and for blocks off his signs were visible and even in adjoining districts his advertising cards could be seen here and there. He continued his business with wonderful success, always seeking to add some new sort of advertisement to his business and as a consequence his future in the restaurant business is a certainty. Here is the example of a man who fails to see the good results accruing from advertisement, while on other hand we have in the latter case the almost certain results, without exception, of a man who knows the good of always keeping his place of business before the public and offering them something all the time. This is but one of a thousand such cases as occur yearly among our people who start into business expecting by individual effort alone to succeed. It is the general public upon which we depend in business and no individual effort, without the proper channel of advertisement, will ever bring us the desired success. Of course there is such a thing as wasteful advertisement and we should steer clear of this, but when carefully thought out and planned a profitable medium of advertisement can be secured which in all business is indispensable and until we learn the good of keeping our places of business before the public the attendant results of failure will invariably obtain. IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE. Interesting Services in The Churches of the City. F. A. B. Church. F. A. B. Church. Those who attended the 11:00 o'clock a.m. service on last Sunday at the First African Baptist Church listened to a very touching sermon by the pastor, Rev. W. L. Jones. He took his text from Genesis 22:4. "Abraham and Mt. Moriah" was the theme of his discourse. A beautiful sketch of Abraham's life from his tent, his test on Mt. Moriah was pictured, also the wonderful Providence of God. At the 8:30 o'clock p.m. service he addressed a body of young men, known as the "Boys of Pleasure Club." The 16th Psalms and 6th verse was used as his text, after having heard the history of the club read by Secretary Joseph Marks, which he assigned very pointed reasons for having selected. In his discourse he emphasized the kind of pleasure that in a physical way was conducive to the health of men. He then encouraged the young men and exhorted them to look well to the day, when their membership will cease in societies for mutual protection on earth. The men were well pleased with the wholesome advice given them, and in expressing their appreciation, made neat donations to pastor, church, and sexton. The Evening Call Aid and Social Club will attend in a body on tomorrow, Sunday, night. The members are taking on to the plan to pay the whole indebtedness of the church within a specified time admirably. Are you a member? Have you subscribed yet; if not why? Sister Catharine E. Stewart of 70S West Broad St., did an act worthy of praise, when she had the fence around the sacred grave of the lamented Rev. Wm. J. Campbell, a former pastor of this church, painted and made to look not forgotten, though dead a number of years. The church hails and sends pleasant greetings. Dr. Forbes of Macon, Ga., spoke very interestingly of Central City College in his discourse on last Tuesday evening, and many were inspired to do more for the advancement of education. The church's monthly conference will be held on Monday night, Feb. 20. Much business will claim the members. Be on hand and on time. Monumental Notes. Monumental Notes. Forty one members have joined the church since conference making a total of four hundred and twenty five that have joined since Dr. L. A. Townsley had charge, this speaks well of him as a pastor. The public installation of the Ushers Association was grand, every thing was carried out timely. The Association from St. Philips, Charles and West Broad, Bryan Baptist and St. John Baptist turned out in a body to witness the exercises. The welcome address delivered by Mr. J. S. Daniels, Jr., was grand also the paper read by Mr. W.O.P. Shermna, Jr., touching upon the history of the Association. Mr. Henry Clark also read a fine paper. After the program the guests were escorted to the basement where a nice supper was spread by the Missionary ladies, they had everything that can be mentioned in the delicatessen line. Dr. R. H. Singleton preached. The services Sunday were conducted by the pastor who preached an excellent installation sermon at eleven o'clock, to the chairs both senior and junior, the former in black satin trimmed in gold brade, the latter in white linen with purple collars. At 8 o'clock p. m. Rev. J. D. Stone, preached an able sermon. Quite a number was out to Sunday School in the morning despite the inclement weather. Did you see the pulpit on the first Sunday, white altar and the chairs were draped in white linen? it will be used every first Sunday, for the communion services. The Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society held a glorious meeting Monday afternoon. The Presiding Elder, Dr. B. S. Hannah, held his first quarterly meeting last night; every secretary had an all round report. The Presiding Elder will preach all day tomorrow. You are invited to attend these services. Owing to the inclement and disagreeable weather on last Sunday, the attendance at the morning service was not very large. At the conclusion of the rhythmic service the choir and congregation sang hymn 648 "Holy, Holy Lord God" Rev, Singleton's text was Act 26-26 subject, "Openness of Christianity." Rev. R.R. Wright, Jr., D.P. Manager of Christian Recorder preached at 8:15 p. m. It is always a pleasure to hear him whenever he visits St. Philips. His text was Gal. 6-15 On last Sunday 100 or more members of St. Phillips male and female were appointed by the pastor as census taker for St. Phillips. They were each one given a badge of authority to be used while thus engaged in their duty. They are to visit every home in the district assigned to them and take the name of all persons that are members of St. Phillips and the names of those that are not members of any church and the names of all children from two years old and up. The following ladies were elected officers of the Stewardess Board on Monday afternoon: Mrs. D. Delberg, president; Mrs. C. Thomas, vice-president; Mrs. R. Waring, secretary; Mrs. M. A. Cole, assistant secretary; Mrs. L. Frazier, treasurer. Mr. Nolan, husband of Mrs. Laura Nolan was buried from St. Phillips on last Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Mr. Nolan confessed a hope in Christ last week and was baptized and taken into the church. Little Irene Gilford after a short illness was buried from her home on Maple street last week. She was a bright scholar in St. Phillips. Through the solicitation of Mrs. Elvina Evans of St. Phillips Church, the church donated three dollars for the Charity Hospital on last Sunday. We are sorry to note that Bro. A. W. White in addition to his illness had a stroke of paralysis on last Sunday. Mrs. C. Wallace also had a second stroke of paralysis on last Monday. Dr. J. H. King hurriedly dropped in class meeting on Tuesday night. Our members were glad to see him. The following services will be held on tomorrow (Sunday) prayer meeting at 5:30 a. m.; preaching 11 a. m.; Sunday School 3 p. m.; preaching 8:54 p. m. Strangers are cordially invited. Thursday evenings League meeting at 8:30. Excellent programs come out and take part in the topics. Mt. Zion B. church, in her progressive mode, is now calling the attention of the public to the very interesting prayer services which began about two weeks ago. The attendance to these services has been unusually good and all seem to be much interested in the same. The services will be continued to an indefinite length of time. Next week Rev. T. A. Lomax, of Valdosta, will be with us, and your presence is quite necessary. Tomorrow our communion will take place at 4 p.m. The pastor has prepared a very interesting season for you at 11 o'clock and also at night. Let us, now, become closer united in love, live closer to the cross of Christ, do more for the cause of Christ and we shall be wonderfully blest. Don't forget the first Sunday in March, our great sale takes place. The church property will be 'desposed of at $1.00 or more per lot and each member is supposed to purchase one or more lots. The money raised at this disposal will go towards the building purposes. You are welcome to all of our services. F. B. B. Church. On Sunday morning there was quite a crowd at church to witness the trial sermon of Bro. J. Johnson. His subject was "Behold there went out a sower to sow the seed." We were very much pleased and benefitted because the sermon was certainly fine. In the afternoon the church was invited to Bethlehem Baptist Church where Rev. Wright preached an excellent sermon. He read for the lesson Ps. 105, his text was from 1 Sam 12:24, subject was "Only fear the Lord." At night Rev. Wright read for the lesson Ps. 8:1-9. The distinguished guests were The Hyacinth Aid and Social Club. The history of the club was read by Mr. J. Washington. Rev.Wright welcomed them most heartily. His text was from Ps. 8:4, subject, "What is man." He gave a fine description of man. The sermon was wonderful and was enjoyed by all who heard it. The choir sang "He remembereth me." Rev.Wright led the lymn "That awful day will surely come." A very large crowd accepted his pleading invitation and bowed at the mercy seat. Prayer was offered. The club donated very liberally to the church, pastor, ushers, sexton and choir. Come at any time. St. Stephen's Episcopal Church Sunday school 9:45 p. m. Sundays, 11 a. m. and 8:15 p. m.

Jefferson, the 81st hymn was sung. Then the 42nd Psalms was read followed by a chant. Presiding Elder Rev. B. S. Hannah read a paper subject "The ministers in politics." The paper was very thoughtful and backed up by bibliological views. Some of the most able speeches were made touching this subject. Rev. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder was introduced to the Union and gave a timely address. Dr. E. B. Brown begged to announce his rally at Gaines Chapel the 4th Sunday in Feb. at 3 p. m. Come out next Tuesday, visitors always welcome. The Savannah Tribute: Dear Mr. Editor: Please allow me space to speak of the service held at the St. Luke Baptist Church Inverness, Ga., in memory of Deacons Campbell and Robertson both of whom departed this life suddenly and within three weeks of each other. In spite of the inclement weather Saturday night and Sunday morning, at the appointed time the church house was filled to its seating capacity. We had invited Rev. R. H. Thomas, (once pastor of that church) to be with us, and upon our arrival we found that Rev. Flagg, the recent expastor was present also. Mr. E. S. Holmes and Mr. John Hutchinson of the Elm Grove Baptist Church had arranged to have a boat load of their people, including their splendid choir. Deacon M. G. Miller and Mr. John Strain of Grace Baptist Church, Darien, (where we recently pastored) brought quite a few from Darien. The Elm Grove, Grace and First A. B. of Sapelo Church choirs furnished music. Mrs. M. J. Holmes of Elm Grove presided at the organ while Mrs. M. G. Grant of Grace was chorister. With such capable persons in charge we need only say that the music was good. The pastor Rev. I. J. Yancy used for a text Rev. 13:14 and discussed "The righteous dead," while Revs. Thomas and Flagg followed, making the application to the lives of our departed brothers. Mrs. Florence Mills and others favored us with a double trio. While Mr. E. S. Holmes and Mesdames M. G. Grant and Nancy Edmond favored us with solos, all of which were much enjoyed. Mrs. Edmond sustained her reputation of being a charmer while singing. The service was very impressive. A neat sum of $58.00 was raised. May the blessing of the Lord rest upon the bereaved families. Your truly, I. J. Yancy, Pastor. Memoriam. In sad but loving remembrance of my darling husband, [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit]. who departed this life Feb. 16, 1910. A noble hearted hero has stacked his sword in the sands of time for his life work is well done, that voice I loved to hear is silent and his foot-steps can be heard no more. But let not my mourns of yesterday disturb your peaceful slumbers for my love surrounds you still, and I too, will some day convene in heaven with you and my dear brothers I miss you from the busy toils of life. No more advice will you give in your lodge room, no more commands will you give to march, no more will you shake your brothers' hands in friendship, love and truth. Deacon A. McHardy. Savannah, Ga., Jan. 15, 1911. To the pastor and members of Second Baptist Church Dear Brothers and Sisters: In presenting a memorial from the board of our brother and deacon, Alexander McHardy, our hearts are filled with deep sorrow, because we shall see his face no more on earth. Our brother was for more than fifty years a faith deacon of the Second Baptist Church with whom we have worked and associated for more than a quarter of a century, a long and useful record for any servant of God to make as an officer of his church. In all of these years he has been faithful in the discharge of his duties. He has been with us in the times of our joy and in the times of our sorrow. At the communion altar and in the work of the church he has always shown his love for his Saviour and for the Saviour's cause. Though his death seems to us unseemly and untimely being cut off from life so unexpectedly, yet we know that he was prepared to meet his Saviour in peace and we fully believe that his soul has entered into that rest that remaineth for the people of God, for he lived as one that was waiting for the call of the Master. Whereas, God has seen fit in His mysterious and perfect dealings to take away from among us our beloved Brother Alexander McHardy, and whereas, we are aware of the fact that nothing happens by chance or accident, but that everything takes place according to the will of God and under the control of His providence and whereas by this divine interference, we are deprived of one whose vacancy we feel ourselves but inadequately able to fill and whereas we can but bow in humble sub mission before our omnipotence, knowing that all His workings are just. We hereby express to his sorrowing family our sincere sympathy and pray that our Heavenly Father will comfort them with the -presence of the Holy Spirit even as Christ promised to send the Comforter. Therefore be it resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be published in The Savannah Tribune, and that a copy be sent to the stricken family. R. M. Davis, Sec'y. J. F.

Ill.—(Special.)—The most remarkable moral awakening among the colored people that has ever been witnessed in Chicago is now on. and in full force. Under the masterly direction of J. E. Moreland, one of the international secretaries of the Yung Men's Christian association, Chicago has been aroused in an effort to build and establish a branch of the Young Men's Christian association, to cost not less than $150,000. The central body has made the proposition that if the Negroes will raise $50,000 it will furnish $100,000. The entire amount will complete the building and furnish and equip it for occupancy. The building proposed will be a model in all of its appoint-ments. The colored people have responded to the call and offer with extraordinary enthusiasm. Meetings, preparatory to the campaign, have been held every night during the past six weeks. Men in all stations of life have rallied to the call. Hundreds who were never supposed to have any race interest in such things have enrolled themselves in the army of workers. It is a magnificent exhibition of what is possible by an appeal to the better selves of the ordinary men of the streets. The pool rooms, the card tables, the dance halls, etc., have not been wholly able to draw the young men away from the widespread enthusiasm of the Y. M. C. A. Whites Showed Marked Interest. The most interesting thing about the movement is the generous interest that the white people of the city are taking. At Odd Fellows' hall, in the presence of a large throng of men of both races, interest reached a climax that attirred the big town. At this meeting two of the leading financial business men rose to make an offer to help on the cause. One of them, Julius Rosenwald, one of the wealthiest Jewish citizens in the city, made an impassionate speech in behalf of the movement and closed his speech by submitting $25,000 to the building fund. Not only so, but he went so far in his generosity as to make the offer to give the same amount to any city of the Southern States which will raise an additional sum to the amount of $100,000 to erect in such city an up-to-date Young Men's Christian association building. Mr. Rosenwald's address created a profound impression. Another benefactor arose, in the person of Norman W. Harris, one of the leading bankers of the city, who subscribed $25,000 to the building fund for Chicago. The addresses of both, together with their generous donations, aroused a tremendous enthusiasm. Commenting on these two handsome donations, the Tribune says: "The importance of Mr. Rosenwald's proposal of an unlimited national benefaction to the colored race it is impossible to estimate. It is looked upon as an inauguration of a new era in the history of the race, an era of practical cooperation and assistance, from the white race and of spiritual, mental and physical adve- "Mr. Harris, the other benefactor, said: 'I do not hesitate to say that Mr. Rosenwald's gift will prove to be the most important benefaction the colored race has received since emancipation.'" Daily Papers Comment on Donatona Nearly all the papers of the city commented on the meeting as a new awakening on the part of the white people in their obligations to the Negro. Among other thirteen Mr. Rosenwald said that he was inspired by a deep A NOBLE WORK. A Farming Proposition Established By a Colored Woman. The Alexander Farm school and School of Domestic Science for Negro boys and girls has for its motto: Learning to do things." Tals school is being established by a young colored woman who has the interest of her race at heart—not in saying but in doing—and is devoting, her life to the uplift and betterment of the young people of her race in the mountain section of Western North Carolina. From this school of domestic science site hopes are long to send out informed young women thoroughly trained in the art and science of cooking and home economics. This school is being located four miles from, White Sulphur Springs, near Hiddenite, N. C., a nearby market for the produce from the school garden, poultry and eggs. A pygery. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. We'd all rather be right than President till we get the chance. The worst about trying luxuries is that, once you do, they become necessary. Some men work harder trying to get out of doing a thing than it would take them to do it. Lots of people earn money; some get it. People want more money so as to get on a higher basis of spending and need still more. sympathy for a race which, like his own, for many centuries lived in a flourishing civilization deprived of a "square deal" and an equal chance. He said he felt it a fit memorial to the past persecutions of his race and to its present triumphs that he should aid in the relief and uplifting of another race similarly situated. The campaign for subscriptions, through the efforts of the Negro citizens, is now on and a well equipped army of trained solicitors are invading every nook and corner where there is a dollar in sight. These young men are going forth with a splendid show of confidence and behind them there is tremendous encouragement in every direction. The social atmosphere is surcharged with success. The moral forces are all in battle array and in all this planning for the campaign Mr. Moreland has proved a perfect general in handling and harmonizing the forces at work. His splendid opti- ties the forces at work. His splendid optimism is contagious. Among the great army of workers may be mentioned Dr. D. P. Roberts, Dr. Daniel H. Williams, S.

Watch your work not, the clock. A long day's work makes a long day short, and a day's short work makes my face long. Rule 3. Give me more than I expect, and I'll pay you more than you expect. I can afford to increase your pay if your increase my profits. Rule 4. You owe so much to yourself that you can't afford to owe anybody else. Keep out of debt or keep out of my shops. Rule 5. Dishonesty is never an accident. Good men, like good women, can't see temptation when they meet it. Rule 6. Mind your own business, and in time you'll have a business of your own to mind. Rule 7. Don't do anything here which hurts your self-respect. The employee who is willing to steal for me is capable of stealing from me. Rule 8. It's none of my business what you do at night. But if dissipation affects what you do next day and you do half as much as I demand, you'll last half as long as you hoped. Rule 9. Don't tell me what I'd like to hear, but what I ought to hear. I don't want a valet to my vanity, but I need lots of them, for my dollars. Rule 10. Don't kick if I kick— if you're worth while correcting you're worth while keeping. I don't waste time cutting out specks out of rotten apples. tierbert Kaufman, in Printer's ink will also be operated in connection with the school from which means of support for the school may be realized. The school is at present dependent upon charity, but will be made as far as possible self sustaining. The garden, piggy and poultry plant will be managed by a young man of that section, who is now a student at the A. and M. college of this city.

After France and the United States got into accord upon a plan of saving Liberia from bankruptcy, this government urged Liberia to sign, the agreement which recognizes the rights of France and defines the boundaries The plan for refunding the Liberian national debt contemplates the participation of financial interests of France, Germany, Great Britian and the United States, subject to proper guarantees, for the repayment of the loan out of the Liberian customs receipts.

Leading Negroes of Tar Heel State Organize Institution and Will Ask Legislature for Aid. Greensboro, N. C.,—(Special.)—The leading colored men of the State of North Carolina have taken another step to advance the cause of the race. The legislature now in session at Raleigh will be called upon to make an appropriation for the support of a reform school for the colored boys and girls of North Carolina. Two years ago a charter was granted the Fouls Reformatory with headquarters at Greensboro which provides for action by the legislature towards supporting the reformatory proposed. So far the Fouls Reformatory has not been established and 1,000 donated by Miss Nannie Fouk, a colored servant employed by Mr. Fuller of the American Tobacco Company, remains in trust. Several months ago, led by George C. Clement, the colored men of Charlotte, organized the North Carolina Reform School Association with Charlotte as headquarters. The board has purchased 360 acres of fine land, known as the "J. B. Alexander Farm" in the northern part of Mecklenburg county and will open a reform school at an early date. Notice of the application for charter has already been published and the legislature will be asked to make an appropriation to maintain the institution. Consolidation with the Foulk's Reformatory will insure one well established institution for rescue of the Negro youth of the State. Leading citizens of both races have pledged the contribute to the movement and already substantial subscriptions and some money have been secured. The following officers and directors were selected some time ago: George C. Clement, president; Rev. F. J. Andrews, secretary; Oscar Jackson, assistant secretary; Dr. A. A. Wyche, treasurer; C. H. Watson, manager and financial agent; J. T. Sanders, counsellor. Directors: Bishop George W. Clinton, Bishop A. J. Warner. Dr. H. L. McCrorey, Dr. J. W. Jones Dr. J. B. Dudley, W. G. Pearson, Dr. N.

Church Baton Rouge, La., (Special)—The Louisiana conference of the African Meiodist Episcopal church convened here. Several hundred delegates were present. After organization H. M. Turner, of Atlanta, presiding, delivered his address. He said: "I have lived to see great prosperity in the church and among our people. I do not approve the indications of scism, strife and money-geatting in our church. If the general conference does not call a hatt, the church is in the throes of death. You can elevate men to the bishopric, but that neither puts the grace of God in their hearts not gives the wisdom a bishop should have. Some of them are as little fit for their places as a horse. The church was never intended for quarreling, slashing, seeking riches, popularity and caean honors. The church is a spiritual institution and the greatest asset in one's life." POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

DOCTOR WHITE TAKES STAND Eminent Authority on Mental Disease Declares the White Students Are Insane on the Color Question. Washington, D. C.—(Special.)—Considerable excitement has been aroused among the medical students attending George Washington and Georgetown Universities by the presence of about thirty Howard University medical students at one of their regular lectures. Doctor Walter, of the Washington Asylum for the Insane, who is the authority on mental diseases for this part of the country, invited the Howard students to attend his afternoon lectures. These lectures are a part of the regular medical course of these white universities. When the students from Georgetown and George Washington appeared to hear their regular lecture, they were surprised to find a large number of colored men from Howard in the room awaiting Doctor White. They held a short consultation and refused to enter. The matter was reported to the deans of the respective colleges by the students and by the doctor in charge. Dean Kober, of Georgetown, manifested sympathy with his students in their refusal to attend lectures where colored students were admitted, and upon the requests of various of the white men in the regular classes, sought a private interview with Doctor White and endeavored to get him to give his lecture twice a week; once for the men from Howard and once for the students from the other universities. He was given to understand by Doctor White that the students who failed to enter his lecture were mentally unsound on the question of color, and that before they could re-enter his classes they would have to give satisfactory explanation for having cut his lecture. The doctor also stated that he would find it absolutely impossible to attempt a duplicate lecture each week; that he would talk regularly as before, but without withdrawing his invitation from the Howard medical students. Looking for Another Lecturer. Dean Kober and the dean of George Washington University are now casting about for a new lecturer on the subject of mental diseases, but up to date their search has not been rewarded. The students of Howard University have had nothing to say about the matter and do not seem to be greatly concerned as to the outcome, save that they have taken occasion to express to Doctor White their appreciation of the manly stand he took in the matter and regretting that their presence was the cause of such wide notoriety as the white press has given the incident.

Washington, — (Special.)—Thirty-seven per cent of the population of Richmond, Va. is composed of Negroes, according to the announcement of the census bureau. There are 47, 222 Negroes in the Virginia capital. The white population is 89,391 and the total is 127,628 as previously announced. NO "JIM CROW" SENIIMENT. Commissioners Report the Residents of Washington, D. C., Do Not Favor Separate Conveyances. Washington, D. C., — (Special.)—That Washington has no sentiment with laws for a "Jim C Crow" law applicable to street cars, railroad cars and boats is the answer of the Commissioners to the bill introduced by Representative Clack of Florida providing for separate accommodations on public carriers for the white and Negro races. The Commissioners sent their views on this bill to the Capitol and they are embodied in a single sentence, which informs the House that the Commissioners know of no sentiment for such a law. The bill is designed to force railroad companies, street car companies, steamboat company operating vehicles within the District, to provide separate and distinct accommodations for the conveyance of white and Negro passengers. It is provided that the accommodations for one race shall be as comfortable as those provided for the other. Marriage Maxims. Marriage for love is risky, but it's right.

About four decades ago four millions of penniless, homeless, illiterate people, wanting in character, brave, were led out of an Egypt into a Canaan to thrive among a people who dare and a people who do. There was no past to guide our feet. We were thrown in contention against a race that knows no retreat; a race that would rather be "bleeding conqueror, than a peaceful slave." We know there is a similarly between the emancipation of the Jew of some, four hundred years ago, and of the Negro some four decades ago. The Jew was freed by Pharoh through Hoses, while the Negro was freed by Lincoln through a bloody civil war. This is the similarly and the only one. Why were the Jews in Egypt? You know the story of Jacob and his twelve sons. They were not slaves, but subjects. The doors of art and learning stood open to them. They were gradually led into slavery. Then came the emancipation. They could not thrive in Egypt as a race. They could not equal their masters in the same country; thus they were compelled to leave. They left Egypt and were colonized elsewhere, while we are not going elsewhere; here we are destined to stay. We were brought here. We are going to remain here. The sixties brought a new problem into the world. No slaves have ever attempted to equal their masters in the same country, on the same soil, on the very same plantation on which they were slaves, save the American Negro. The one amazing thing of the twentth century is The Striving of the Black Man. About forty-five years ago Lincoln emancipated four million slaves. The emancipation released the master from the responsibility of caring for themselves. Thus the slave emerged into an unprotected freedman. The Negro was penniless and homeless. Money to him was a midday dream; and the word home had no meaning. Today we own over five billion dollars' worth of taxable property. Is not that a wonderful result of striving? Look at our effort in science. One hundred years ago the black man of America did not plan and construct the simplest frame work. Today he puts the finishing touch upon such a building as True Reformers' mail, corner Twelfth and U streets, Washington, D. C., and the Mechanics' Bank building, corner Third and Clay streets of this city. Nearly century ago he did not know the meaning of the word idea. Today he has given the world four hundred inventions. You have your white inventor and you call him Edison; we have our colored inventor and we call him "Black Edison;" but better the real genius. Think of our striving in learning. About half a century ago the Negro was not allowed to see a book, today we have Daniel Webster Davis, the poet; Dubois, the sociologist; Proctor, the minister; Kelley Miller, the mathematician; Josiah C. Robertson, J. Thomas Newsome, William H. Lewis, the lawyers; H. Scarborough, the scholar; Tanner, the artist, and Booker Washington, the great educator; John Mitchell, Jr., M. L. Walker, the bankers. These are evidences of the striving of the black Man. Teach the black man to strive more in education, because it is a mental progress and covers in its meaning the approach to vice as well as virtue. If the Negro be vicious or indolent, or indifferent, or vulgar, how may he be reformed and turned about and directed toward the better way? But if he be virtuous or industrious or thoughtful or pure minded, how may he be made strong also and aggressive in determining the right for his fellows? THINGS WORTH KNOWING. The production of cheese in Holland is a large industry. The latest figures show its annual production to amount to 176,000,000 pounds, of which two-thirds are exported. In addition to the purity mark the cheese will be marked to show where and when made and stamped or labeled. At the International Textile Industry exhibition at Roubaix, France, in May, 1911, the Australian pavilion will contain a large panoramic picture gallery showing Australian products. Mrs. Clarence Burns was the principal speaker at the last meeting of the League of Political study, which was held a few days ago at the Hotel Astor, Mrs. Burns told of the changes which had taken place since she had joined the league seventeen years ago. At that time there were no high schools, no manual training schools and no kindergartens, and children could be sent to work at any age. Among the 593 railway workshops in Germany there are seventy which employ more than three hundred persons. Friends of the late Joseph O'Connor of the Rochester Post Express; will be interested in the announcement that a limited edition of his writings on topics of general interest may soon be issued. Jacob A. Hockstra of the Post Express will bring out two volumes if sufficient subscriptions to warrant are received. More than 57,00,000 index record cards, showing the individual service record of soldiers who fought in the various wars in which this country has engaged, are now on file in the office of the adjutant general of the army. In this day of shop-school and physical training, we are in no little danger of forgetting that education is not only of the hand or the body. We do not undervalue any form of physical culture when we say that neither strength of body, nor grace of carriage, nor attractive presence, nor health, nor agility, nor endurance, can for a moment be considered as an end of training. Here, as elsewhere, the essential fact is the amount and quality of mental life that goes into teh process, and the reaction of the process upon the mental life. Not what the Negro makes through using the saw and the plane, but into what makes him is the problem of Hampton, Tuskegee, and all trade schools through the South. If this be true, the importance of manual training is not lessened, but magnified, if it has any real contribution to make to the personal life. A typical question would be, what is forging able to do for the colored youth? Military tactics? Or a course in Greek? Or laboratory study? Or bench work? The skill—the fingers skilled incident to a course in short hand, or music, or sewing, or cooking or painting, may be a means of livelihood, and yield one profit and entertainment, and put one in demand entertainment, and put one in demand among his fellows, and make him efficient and so be gladly commendable. But the educational value of such acquisition may be next to nothing because of the absence of this mental reaction. If training involves the sowing of the seed, hoping for a manifold increase through the fructifying influence of the mind, and process is educative. Is not this after all the best service of the Negro's trainers? The selection of the best thoughts, germinative experiences, thoughts, that breed and multiply and initiated new trains of thinking and motive, that in some become active forces in the Negro's life? It is this quality rather than any great profundity that constitutes the worth of such writers as Whitties and Chestnutt, Doctor Washington, George Williams, Curtis and DuBois. Abbott and Kelley Miller. It is their manifold suggestiveness, their ability to originate independent lives of interest and aspiration in their readers, thus setting the gates of thought ajar and revealing new vistas of life and hope. Let us strive now for the future Do not think the goal is won because we have done something. As Doctor Washington says: "The best is yet to come." We have done well, but we must do better. We must strive for our civil and traffic rights. We did not ask for the Jim Crow car law, but we want to ride with no man who does not want to ride with us. We only ask that the railroad companies give us respectable cars. The black man's car is the conductor's counting room; the brakeman's lighting room; the newsboy's paper room; the candy boy's confectionary store; the passage way of the second class whites, and the accommodation car of the workingmen. Yet the glory (ladies) of our race have to ride among such a heterogeneous combination. This brings us out of the thought that we must strive in industry.

You Look Prematurely Old IMMEDIATE EFFECT OF GREAT KIDNEY REMEDY IS SOON REALIZED IMMEDIATE EFFECT OF GREAT KIDNEY REMEDY IS SOON REALIZED According to my experience I do not consider there is anything to equal Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root for kidney affection. Twice it relieved me when I was completely helpless. The last time I was traveling in Texas, when my kidneys became affected, and for ten days I suffered excruciating pain, accompanied with severe chills. Several years previous, having been relieved of a similar attack, I naturally sought relief as before, from Swamp-Root. After using four of the large size bottles, I was completely restored and went on my way rejoicing and praising Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. This was three years ago, and I have had no indication of the return of the affliction. State of Tennessee County of Madison Subscribed and sworn to before me this 12th day of July, 1909.

CURED HER BABY OF ECZEMA "I can't tell in words, how happy the word 'Cuticura' sounds to me, for it cured my baby of itching, torturing eczema. It first came when she was between three and four weeks old, appearing on her head. I used everything imaginable and had one doctor's bill after another, but nothing cured it. Then the eczema broke out so badly behind her ear that I really thought her ear would come off. For months I doctored it but to no avail. Then it began at her nose and her eyes were nothing but sores. I had to keep her in a dark room for two weeks. The doctor did no good, so I stopped him coming. "For about two weeks I had used Cuticura Soap for her every day, then I got a box of Cuticura Ointment and began to use that. In a week there was a marked improvement. In all I used two cakes of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment and my baby was cured of the sores. This was last November; now her hair is growing out nicely and she has not a scar on her. I can not praise Cuticura enough, I can take my child anywhere and people are amazed to see her without a sore. From the time she was four weeks old until she was three years she was never without the terrible eruption, but now, thanks to Cuticura, I have a well child." (Signed) Mrs. H. E.

Not liking the climate, Pat tried to evolve a trick by which he could get home. Accordingly he went to the doctor and told him his eyesight was bad. The doctor looked at him for a while and then said: "How can you prove to me that your eyesight is bad?" Pat looked about the room and at last said: "Well, doctor, do ye see that nail on the wall?" "Yes," replied the doctor. "Well," then replied Pat, "I can't." —Chicago Tribune. Runs on the Bank of England Runs on the Bank of England. Even the Bank of England has not been entirely free from runs nor from the necessity of saving itself by strategy. In 1745, for instance, it was forced to employ agents to present notes, which were paid as slowly as possible in sixpences, the cash being immediately brought in by another door and paid in again, while anxious holders of notes vainly tried to secure attention. In 1825, too, only the accidental discovery of 700,000 £1 notes saved the bank from stopping payment—London Chronicle.

Caratzer Feyez The Farm The following creed was proposed by the fruit school of the extension department of the West Virginia university. It is a splendid one: He who plants a fruit tree professes his faith. It is as if he should say, I believe. I believe! I believe in God, and in the orderliness of his universe. I believe in the regular procession of the seasons—spring and summer and autumn and winter. I believe in the unfalling order of blossom time and fruit time. I believe in the permanence of human needs. I believe in the perpetuity of human institutions. I believe in the steadfastness of Mother Earth, whose promise of food for her faithful children is a pledge that will not fall. I believe in work as a divine gift. I believe in myself. I believe! And in this abiding faith I work. In this faith I plant this tree. In this faith I will dig about its roots and nourish it. In this faith I will protect it from vermin and disease. In this faith I will wait for the early and in the latter rain. In this faith I will guard the blossoms and the green fruit. In this faith I will watch for the first blush of the ripening peach and the early tints of the maturing apple. In this faith I will gather the first fruits with a thankful heart. THE WATER SUPPLY. A farmer will make the common mistake of neglecting to give the farm water system proper attention. Before the ground freezes, all pipe connections should be made; while any underground trouble should be ascertained, and immediately over- come. Windmills, pumps, tanks and hydrants should be carefully inspected, and fully repaired. Some of these will need banking up, to protect them from the severe, freezing weather. Every water pipe and cut off must be well covered to prevent freezing. It's unhandy and disagreeable working at these jobs during raw, wintry days, and you simply cannot afford to neglect a single item of preparation, at a season when it can be quickly and efficiently attended to.—M. A. Coverdell, in the Indiana Farmer. SKIM-MILK FOR PIGS. Skim-milk is useful in pig feeding. When the milk is run through a centrifugal separator all of the butter fat except the slightest trace, is removed and consequently the pigs receive no fattening nutriment from the skimmed milk. It does contain some ash material, which builds up the bony framework of the pig, and also some protein matter which builds up the muscles of the pig. Altogether, however, skimmed milk is not a rich food by any means, and should not be relied on to the exclusion of other more concentrated foods--Inland Farmer. BOX FOR GRIT. Do not throw oyster shells, charcoal or beef scraps upon the ground or litter, but have a box for such purposes. A self-feeding box with three partitions admirably serves the purpose. HELPS FOR THE HOG RAISER. Breeding animals that have weak constitutions and organic weaknesses will transmit these defects/ to their progeny, and they will become easy prey to about all the ailments that the hog is heir to Never get the idea in your head that drugs and health are inseparable, for in most cases it will be found that what we keep out of the pig's stomach has more to do with their health than what we put in. Sunlight, crude oil, lime, crude carbolic acid, pure air, clean houses and yards are cheaper than drugs and dope. SHRINKING OF GRAIN. The shinking of corn varies according to the condition of the grain when put into the crib. Cases have been known in which corn lost 20 per cent. from shrinkage, the corn belg damp. From 8 to 12 per cent. is the average the shrinkage depending upon so many circumstances as to make an exact estimate very difficult, but the rule is to allow 10 per cent.—Epitomist. POULTRY POINTERS Both mites and body lice accumulate very quickly in hot weather, and cause no end of trouble. Farm folks are seeing from their more up-to-the-minute neighbors that good housing and feeding pay big returns in the work of investment. The quicker the drones in the flock are made into pot pies the better. RECOGNIZED HIS COW. A judgment worthy of Solomon was pronounced recently by a justice of the peace in Bucharest, Roumania. A certain peasant living in the village of Predeal lost his cow. About two monts ago he happened to be standing at the railroad station, watching a train load of cattle about to be sent across the frontier. Suddenly he gave a shout. "That is my cow," he cried running toward one of the cars. The trainmen only laughed at him, but he went before the justice. This good man listened to the peasant's story patiently. Then he pronounced this judgment: "The cow shall be taken to the public square of Predeal and milked. Then, if it goes of its own accord to the plaintiff's stable it shall belong to him." The order of the court was carried out. And the cow, in spite of its ten months' absence, took, without hesitation, the lane which brought it, a few minutes later, into the peasant's stable. IMPORTANCE OF DRAINAGE. One of the prominent subjects of discussion at several farmers' institutes held recently was that of the drainage and information upon this subject is eagerly sought by farmers. They realize that wet land has a high price and costs high taxes and yet produces nothing. They also realize that tilling will not only render this land available for cropping in wet seasons, but will improve it in dry. One farmer stated that the entire cost of the draining his farm had been paid by the increased yield of two years, while he now has his farm in shape to make bigger money each year in the future. He is now clearing 10 per cent. on a valuation of $300 per acre.—Kansas Farmer. THE SEAT TO FEAR. A French surgeon has located the sensation of fear in a nerve which stretches upward from the medulla oblongata at the back of the neck into the cerebellum, that part of the brain at the base of the head. The larger and more developed this nerve, the more timorous and melancholy is the possessor, for it acts as a telephone wire over which the alarms are sent. With this wire cut the craven becomes a hero, for no alarms can reach him. The doctor was led to this conclusion, says Science Siftings, by the case of a man who lost the sensation of fear after an injury about the head, and afterward he confirmed his theory by experiments on animals—New York Tribune. CARE OF HOGS. Grade the hogs and pigs most carefully as to size, etc. Watch them, and if there is a rank boss in the bunch, put it by itself. The small ones must not be robbed or they will make no gains, and that will mean loss. This sort of care marks the difference between a successful swine breeder and feeder and one who is a failure.—"getting poorer every day."—Farmers' Home Journal. GOOD DUST BATH MIXTURE. In the autumn I gather road dust and store it in a dry place. Then on cold winter days I put some of it, mixed with wood ashes and sulphur, into a shallow box or an old kettle and set it where the hens can get to it. They enjoy it, and it keeps them from lice and mites.—Agricultural Epitomist. FARM NOTES. Every day count the sheep and know that they are all in the flock. If any are missing, hunt them up. During cold weather it will be well to give the cow tempered water to drink. It will have its effect upon the milk supply. There are more persons dying for the lack of a kind word, a pat on the back and a little encouragement than there are from discase. Do not track mud into the house Provide a scraper and mat outside the door, and do not forget to use them before going into the house Scrubbing floors and sweeping car pets are not easy tasks, and the thoughtful man will not add to his wife's burdens. Selling a good brood sow because she brought big money on the market is about the poorest variety of hog sense that could be jumped up. Doctoring sheep that are sick is risky business. Keep them dry and warm and give them their own way about eating. This will usually bring them out all right unless they have some disease. No other kind of feed is better for ewes than clover. Every day let the sheep have a good walk. One way to do it is to feed them at a barn some distance from the place they regularly stay in. Or it may be to get water. Somehow let them stretch their legs. It is the price of health. There is lots of milk in sweet corn and you can raise lots of feed to the acre with that crop. Don't feed much corn during the hot weather. It is fattening and gives too much heat. The same for buckwheat. W. A. PIGMAN, Proprietor. Opposite Union Station.

How much good may we do each other by a few^friendly words, and the opportunities for them are so much more frequent than for friendly deeds! Lifting the fallen brother up. Sweetening the draught in the bitter cup ter cup, Heeding the orphan's plaintive cry, Wlping the tears from sorrow's eye. These are the jewels that shine brightest in the crown of Freemasonry; these are the true tests of the Mason whose Masonry is a matter of principle and duty and not simply a convenience or an accomplishment—Trestle Board. Masonry should never become common. Its perpetuity and its value rests upon the intelligence and moral personnel of its membership and a daily exemplification in their lives of its cardinal virtues. Let us heed well the points of fellowship and not only put forth the hand to save a falling brother, but also to assist him to rise to higher planes of life and usefulness. Let not the rivalries of trade or the jealousies of ambition mar the environments of the temple; and may we take to our hearts the great truth that there is no service so acceptable to the infinite God as the unselfish, sacrificing service of our fellow-men.—E. L. Smith, in the Masonic News, Otegon. What Are Miracles? Governor Hoch of Kansas says: "If a man can squeeze out of the air liquid, that is one of the most powerful things in the world; if a man can make an instrument so that he can put something to his ear and something to his mouth and talk to a friend a thousand miles away; if a man can make an instrument with which he can examine the internal organs, look into the human body and see the bones on the other side; if a man can make a little cylinder and wrap the human voice around it, and years after the author of that voice is dead can repeat that voice to the listening friends and loved one—if a man can work these modern miracles of science, it is easy for me to believe that God could work the miracles of the Bible. "There is said to be a point in the upper air where all the discord of earth, the agony of the crying, the moan of the beggar, the shriek of distress, the thunder of battle, meet and mingle in one splendid note of harmony like unto the music of the spheres. A Masonic lodge hall should resemble this harmonious point of the upper air. What more fitting than that in a Masonic lodge room all discords of life, all of fret and strife and passion, all of bitterness and conflicting interests, should be consumed around our altars in the purifying fires of love. Then would brotherhood and good fellowship supremely reign; then would the blessings of Masonry be vouchsafed in overflowing abundance; then would our mighty organization become a far mightier instrumentality for good than its founders in their rosiest imagining ever dreamed it would or could be."—Selected. They have a practical way of extending charity down in Alabama. We read in the proceedings of the Grand Lodge of that jurisdiction that the Grand Secretary read a letter from the widow of a Master Mason in distress, appealing for aid. The Grand Tiler was requested to take up a collection from the brethren as they passed out, and the sum of $54 was thus raised for her relief. On the following day a member read a communication from a worthy brother, stating his distress and giving certificates from physicians showing that the facts were as stated, and moved that the brethren be allowed an opportunity to contribute to his relief. Two brethren were appointed to receive contributions, and $119.19 was raised for the distressed brother, whose name was not mentioned. This method is not quite so simple as voting money out of the treasury, but it has the advantage of blessing the giver as well as the beneficiary.—Masonic Standard. One of the most attractive features of Masonry is its antiquity. It comes down to us hoary with age, and filled with the spirit of the ages that are gone. Its ritual is filled with qualit expressions, and its ceremonies show evidences of a far distant past. The attempt by some to modernize Masonry is to be regretted. There is absolutely nothing to be gained by changing the ritual to a more modern form, and much to be lost. Many of our brethren are chronic "joiners." They are members of many recently organized fraternities, and some of them endeavor from time to time to graft upon the body of Masonry forms and expressions that they have learned in these modern orders. This is all wrong and hurtful to Masonry. Even as oil and water will not mix, so Masonry cannot be blended with any other institution. Masonry stands unique among all fraternities. And so may it continue to stand for ages to come. HOTEL'S GREAT PIPE ORGAN Largest Musical Instrument of the Kind in America. is in the Astor, New York. The Hotel Astor, in New York, boasts the largest pipe organ in the United States and one of the largest in the world. A pipe organ is an innovation in hotel extures, and as such is of more than usual interest. The great organ represents all orchestral instruments, and its many speaking stops, nearly 100, make the tonal resources of the instrument almost inexhaustible. It is divided into four distinct divisions, the main organ occupying two chambers on the east and west sides of the ball room. The other two divisions are arranged on either side of "L'Orangerie" room. Completely hidden from view by the decorations of the walls and cellings, the music comes as a surprise. The pipes, varying from 32 feet in length to only a fraction of an inch, are hundreds of feet away from the playing cabinet containing the keys and stops, and each one is operated by its individual train of electro-pneumatic action. The pressure of a key gives current to a wire that finds its way through various cables and switches to a magnet, which operates pneumatic mechanism that opens a valve and gives pressure to the pipe. HAYTIAN CUTLERY SALUTE Steward of Naval Vessel Put Knives and Forks in Gun and Hotel Was Punctured. Discipline aboard men-of-war belonging to tropical countries is not as strict as that obtaining on the vessels of colder countries. Indeed, in some instances, it is very lax. The Defense, a Haytian naval vessel, was lying in the harbor of Portau-Prince. One day a mess cook, for some reason, cleaned about a peck of knives and forks on the gun deck, and, being suddenly called away, and not wishing to spend time to go to the galley, he selzed the messpot full of knives and forks and stuck it in the muzzle of the ten-inch gun, putting the tamplon in after it. About an hour afterward the admiral came aboard, and, as the gun was londed with blank cartridge, they used it to fire a salute It happened that the gun was almed toward the town, and almost point blank at the Grand Hotel. The guests assembled on the porch to witness the ceremonies, when they were saluted with a rain of knives and forks, which stuck against the wooden walls like quilts on a porcupine. Fortunately no one was hurt, although there were many narrow escapes. Need for Two_Collars. Having bought a dog that he admired a Washington Heights man undertook to buy a dog collar. The dog had a neck nearly as big as his head and the dealer advised the man to buy two collars. "What for?" said the man. "He's got only one neck, so I guess he can get along with only one collar, can't he?" "Maybe so," said the dealer, so the man went away leading the dog by his new collar and chain. In less than a week he brought the dog back. "I'm afraid I can't keep him," he said. "He is too obstreperous. I can't keep him tied up. His neck, is the biggest part of him and he is as strong as an ox, therefore it is a sinch for him to slip his collar off." "That is why I wanted you to take two collars," said the dealer. "Put both on and fasten the chain to the back collar and he can tug away all night without getting loose. He may commit suicide, but he won't get loose." The Gordian Knot. The famous Gordian knot was made of leather taken from some part of the harness belonging to the charlot of Gordius, king of Phrygia. It seems that this knot was so tied that the ends of the leather thong was not visible hence the difficulty in loosling it. Many must have tried to untie it, for its fame as a "stickler" at last reached the great Oracle, which declared that the lucky experimenter should be rewarded by the kingship of Persia. Alexander, trying his hand and meeting with no better success than the others, drew his sword and cut into the knot until he found the ends of it. Sound, Solid, Firm and Safe The I. B. O.
