Central Park School Plans Submitted
EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETS
Nearly Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars on Hand—Ground-Breaking Takes Place May 7—School to Accommodate Overflow at Morris Brown—School Opens in October.
Of particular interest to the members of the African Methodist Episcopal church in and around Savannah was the meeting of the Executive Committee of Central Park Normal and Industrial Institute, which was held at the new St. Philip church, Thursday, morning of this week.
At this meeting, which was largely attended, much work of importance was attended to. The meeting was presided over by Rev. P. W. Greatheart, president of the Board. Mr. J. A. Lankford, the church architect, was in attendance upon the meeting and submitted plans for the erection of the central building of the school. After carefully going over the plans, they were accepted, and Mr. Lankford was elected as superintendent of construction. The Board intends losing no time in getting matters in readiness for starting work on the new school, and it is stated that bids for the construction of the first building will be advertised for immediately.
The report of the treasurer of the Board, Rev. L. A. Townsley, was very gratifying, and it was shown by him that the available funds of the school on hand were $2,410, and that by the latter part of next month this would have been increased to at least $5,000. Those who have made pledges to the school fund have been carrying out their promises in a manner which has pleased the Board, and the people of the church in general have evinced no small degree of interest in the project.
It is hoped that the affairs of the Board will have carried so successful that on the 7th of May ground will be broken for the first building. This will be attended by very impressive ceremonies, the arrangements of which are in the hands of Rev. R. H. Singleton and Rev. L. A. Townsley, who are getting up special circulars telling of the exercises of the day.
The fact that Central Park, where the school is to be erected, is about three miles from the city, on the White Bluff road, and that there are no means of getting to it except by wagon or automobile, a committee on transportation, headed by Mr. G. H. Bowen, has been appointed to arrange conveyances for those who go out on ground-breaking day, and the fare for the round trip will be made as reasonable as possible. During the month of August. it is hoped that the building will have been sufficiently completed to allow the holding of an educational chatauqua, which will be attended by visitors from all over this and adjoining states.
The school, ofcourse, will open its doors in October for the reception of students. The curriculum of the school will be similar to that at Morris Brown College, of which it is a branch. There will be a boarding department, and as there is a plenty of good fertile land around the school, a course in agriculture will probably be one of the main features.
Eureka Ladles' Branch Installation.
The installation of officers of the Eureka Ladies' Branch took place at their club room on Gwinnett street, west, last Wednesday evening, after which light refreshments were served. The following officers were installed for a term: President, Mrs. M. L. Biggins; Vice-president, Mr. W. W. Mumpris; Financial Secretary. Miss F: A. Burke; Recording Secretary, Miss Meta Galloway; Treasurer, Miss Rosa Lowry; Advocate, Miss Cora Clarke; Chairlady of Finance, Mrs. Marie Lockley; Chairlady of Health. Mrs. Julia Brown; Chaplain, Miss Hattie Blige; Clerk of Order, Mrs. L. Gadsden.
THE HOME OF THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN
Beach Institute, where on Friday night, March 25, the choir of the First Congregational church will present Mr. Wm Speights, a graduate of the vocal department of the New England Conservatory of Music. Mr. Speights possesses a tenor voice of splendid range and quality, and his appearance here will no doubt be greeted by a large crowd. Local talent will also appear on the program.
Directorate of Mechanics Savings Bank Increased
On last Saturday morning at a meeting of the stock holders of the Mechanics Savings Bank, which was held at the bank, the directorate of the institution was increased from seven members to ten. The new members of the board are Prof. Jno- McIntosh, Mr. J. M. Northington and Mr. Daniel Simmons. The old officers of the institution were all re-elected.
Will Teach school in Philadelphia.
"Jimmie Bugg, the eldest daughter of J. H. Bugg, the well-known colored physician, of this city, having passed the Philadelphia Board, has been appointed to teach in the public schools of that city." The above clipping from the Daily Advance, Lynchburg, Va., will be read with much interest and pleasure by Savannahians. Miss Jimmie Bugg spent much of her early childhood days here, where her father, Dr. J. H. Bugg, was city physician for several years prior to moving to Lynchburg.
Died in Wilmington
Mr. James E. Quarterman, the only brother of Mrs. L. A. Woodard of this city, died on Friday of last week in Wilmington, N. C. He has been sick since the first of the year, and was visited by Mrs. Woodard who spent some time with him in January. The funeral took place Sunday, the service taking place from St. Luke Methodist Church. This large edifice was crowded with friends to pay their last tribute of respect. Mr. Quarterman is survived by a wife, two sisters. Mrs. Woodard of this city, and Mrs. R. L. Hurst of Jesup. Mrs. Woodard who attended the funeral, has returned home.
After an illness of more than two months, Mrs. Charlotte Dixon died about 5 o'clock on last Saturday morning at her late residence, 523 East Anderson street. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon from the Second Baptist Church, of which she was one among the oldest members. A just tribute was paid to her, memory by the pastor, Rev. D. Augustine Reid, D. D., and Rev. J. H. Rogers. The service was largely attended.
Every one who knew Mrs. Dixon loved her. She was ever pleasing in her manner and only had kind words for everybody. She truly lived a consistent christian life.
She is survived by a sister. Miss. Diana Fabian; a granddaughter, Miss Lottie Roundfield; a son-in-law, Mr. W. S. Roundfield, other relatives and many friends who cherish her memory.
Civic League to Meet.

CORDELE COLORED CITIZENS' REQUEST
City Council Petitioned by Forty Eight Leading Colored Citizens—Loafing Around Depot Also Condemned -Also Asked to Keep Loafers out Colored Section
A communication was received by The Tribune this week in which the colored citizens of Cordele, Ga. are requesting the city council of that place to pass an ordinance which will prevent colored women and girls from being on the streets at night after 8 o'clock without a satisfactory excuse.
The reason given for presenting this petition to the city council is that many young girls have gone astray by coining in contact with all kinds of immoral characters on the streets at night. It is the belief of those who are behind the movement that many of these young girls are now falling in with questionable companions on the streets will be saved from lives of disgrace if the city council passes and enforces the ordinance such as is requested by the petition.
In the petition to the city council, complaint is also made of those loitering in and around the Union depot of that city. The petitioners ask that those who are guilty of this be made to refrain from loitering around this place, and that the law be strictly enforced. The petition in part, which was signed by forty eight colored citizens and twenty white, is as follows:
Gentlemen:—
Whereas: Our women and girls are out on the streets of Cordele at all hours of the night, we beg that you put a stop to same by allowing none of them on the streets after 8 o'clock without excuses perfectly satisfactory to your Police Force.
We ask this in face of the sad fact that so many of our young girls are going astray: also from the fact that we find so many immoral characters on the streets of the colored sections of the city, that our respectable class are brought to shame by passing them.
We also respectfully ask that the law regarding colored people loafing around the union depot without cause be strictly enforced.
Hampton Teacher Entertained
On Monday afternoon of this week, Miss Addie Jayne, one of Hampton's oldest teachers, in years of service given to its Negro and Indian students, while on a tour through the South, during which she intends visiting all Negro schools of importance, while awaiting a train, was pleasantly entertained by Messrs E. G. Bryant and R. F. Gibson, both former pupils of hers. Miss Jayne was very pleasantly impressed with Savannah and with the "farther South" in general, and she felt that our people could rightly wear a smile, while still as busily as ever sawing wood.
Crowds Attend Colored Millinery Store
MONDAY WAS SPRING OPENING
All the Latest Styles in Headgear Shown—Many New Creations in Hats Seen—Exhibition Finest in History of Establishment—Many Sales—Music on Hand
On last Monday from about ten o'clock in the morning until nearly eleven o'clock at night, the Colored Millinery Store, 464 West Broad street, was the objective point for such a large number of ladies that it was by all means one of the busiest places in the city.
The reason for this unusual rush for a visit to this particular establishment on that day, was that it was the spring opening, and, of course, as the season displays of this establishment always present goods of the latest pattern and ideas, naturally almost all the ladies of the city who like to be decked in the season's latest creations in the headgear, lost no time in getting out to the exhibition.
The display of hats, ribbons and novelties which were shown on Monday was particularly pleasing to those who like the smart and chit styles, although to those whose tastes do not run in this direction was found an assortment of styles which greatly appealed to them.
There was one particularly attractive hat just to the right of the door as you entered the establishment that caught the eye of nearly every visitor as she entered the store. This hat was the cause of much admiration, and many there were whose choice of selection fell upon it, but to the sorrow of all who came after the first hour of the opening, they found, after asking the price and were just about to say, "I'll take it" that it had a little tag attached to it which read "sold."
On the whole, the display of goods was the finest which this establishment has ever shown. That those who availed themselves of attending the exhibition thought very highly of what they saw, may be gathered from the fact that the sales of the day surpassed those of any opening which this store has held.
Ofcourse, there was music for the occasion. This was greatly appreciated by the few who could turn aside their attention long enough from the hats to listen to it, yet the majority of ladies who were present were so impressed with what they saw that they had but very little time to listen to music.
There were one or two men who were courageous enough to go on the inside, the majority of them being perfectly satisfied to remain on "the outside looking in," for obvious reasons.
Chicago Schools May Copy Tuskegee Methods
Chicago may well follow the example of Tuskegee in its handling of educational problems, according to Ella Flag Young, who has just returned to Chicago from a visit to Tuskegee Institute.
Mrs. Young, superintendent of public schools, will make recommendations to the school management committee this afternoon that will advocate just such a move. She implied in her conversation that her suggestion may not be met kindly by members of the educational board and that it is possible that a small imbroglio may result.
SURPRISED BY VISIT "I went down there," said Mrs. Young, "to look upon, as I thought, the teachings of an inferior race. I found the problem of education has been settled in a manner more nearly ideal than in any other city that I know of. We may well follow their example in this city. I am going to make certain recommendations to the school management committee tomorrow afternoon. But I fear the result."—Chicago Record Herald.

From the St. Louis Republic.
Wrapped in meditation, a patriarchal black man may often be seen sitting on the south steps of the St. Louis court house. When asked the reason of his preoccupation, he will reply: "On these steps I was sold as a slave for fifty dollars, sixty-seven years ago."
By one of the fairy tales of emancipation, this $50 helot arose to be a Minister of the United with the rank of brigadier general in the army and of commodore in the navy. He became the friend of King Edward VII, of Bismark and of Emperor William of Germany and one of the imperial carriages was placed at his disposal in Berlin. Through his remarkable ability he and his legal partners today stands to win a million-dollar fee in Indian land cases. His rise, as his beginnings were lowly, may be compared with that of Benjamin Franklin, as related in his autobiography. It is a romance of "Up from Slavery."

The Week Among the Theatres
The Pekin Theatre this week has broken all records up to date in point of attendance. The main attraction for the week has been Russell and Owens' Stock Company. Evidently the theatre goers have not forgotten the hit this company made her several years ago, for they are packing the house every night. The company is living up to its reputation, and is giving the people a very enjoyable show. It is booked for an indefinite period.
The Air Dome has had several feature pictures this week and on Tuesday and Wednesday nights of this week the crowds were so large that hundreds were turned away. For the coming week the house will present some of the finest pictures to be had, and large houses are expected.
The Star, of course, is still the object of much admiration among the theater goers. The bill presented this week has attracted a large crowd each night, and the matinees which are held every afternoon are visited by many who are unable to come out at night. The bill for next week promises to be a particularly enjoyable one,

May 2nd, Day of Children's Races
May 2nd, Day of Children's Races
INTEREST VERY HIGH
Captains of Teams to be Selected Next Week—Many New Features to be Seen—Negro Business and Professional Men Very Enthusiastic—Committees Appointed
At a meeting in The Tribune building on Wednesday evening of the Negro Business and Professional Men's association, the organization which is promoting the school children's races, it was decided to hold the coming races on the 2nd of May, which is the first Friday in the month.
Friday afternoon was selected because of the fact that it was considered the most acceptable to the pupils and teachers of the various schools, as their week's work would be completed and they could enter into the spirit of the afternoon free from all worry.
The main reason of the association's selection of the first Friday in May for holding the races was that any later date would be too near to the closing time of several of the schools, thereby interfering in a way with their examinations. To hold the races at an earlier date than that selected, would not allow sufficient time for advertising the meet, and, as it is hoped to have the coming races far surpass those of last year, it will be necessary to give the affair wide and thorough publicity. Now that the date of the races has been decided upon, it will be necessary for the various schools that intend competing in the races to select their respective team captains next week.
It is expected that a lively contest is going to be precipitated at several of the schools when the time comes for selecting a man for this position. Already there are several candidates for the place at almost all the schools, and much quiet work is being done by those who are after these places of distinction.
One of the main faults of the meet last year, which the association hopes to eliminate this year, was the crowding out of so many of the events in which the smaller boys were entered. This was caused by the lateness in beginning the meet and it is hoped to avoid that this year by starting the program at the latest by 2 o'clock. This, of course, can only be done by getting a half holiday for the children, or having them turned out of school about an hour earlier than usual. This the association has hopes of securing.
Not only is a wide interest being taken in the meet by the school boys but much enthusiasm is being manifested by the various clubs of the city. Several of them have already signified their intention of having entries in the open events. The unattached entries in the open events will far out number those of last year. In all, there will be near three hundred boys and young men to take part in the event. At the meeting of the association Wednesday night, the following committees were appointed:
Arrangement—R. B. Heggs, J. C. Lindsay, F. M. Cohen, H. T. Singleton, Geo. W. Jacobs, W. W. Hill, Edw. Rankin, Prof. R. M. Cooper, Dr. P. E. Love, Dr. A. R. Ferebee, F. B. Pettie, J. H. Hopkins, G. H. Bowen, J. H. Gathers, S. S. McFall.

by Rev. D. M, Stearns.
We have our choice this week of a
| Fesurrection lesson from: Mark avi or
j the rezular losson, but as we saw
‘Isaze risen from the dead in our last
essa and this one shows us a bride
for Isaac and his marriage. suggesting
| the resurrection of the bride of Christ.
the church. and the marriage of the
Lamb, we will take the regular lesson.
After the figurative death and resur-
, rection of Isauc (quite a reality to both
| Abraham and Isaac) Abraham return-
ed to Beersheba and dwelt there. It is
our privilege to dwell always by the
well of Him that liveth and secth us
;and by the well of God's faithfulness
jand with joy draw water from the
wells of salvation (Gen. xvi. 13, 14,
margin; xxi, 31, marzin; Isa. sii, 3).
Gen, xxiii tells of the death and
| burial of Sarah at the age of 127 years
anu of the purchase of the cave of
| Machpelah at Hebrew as a_borial
place. Gen. xsiv {s the record of Abra-
-ham's gervant obtaining a wife for
Isaac and is wondrously suggestive of
the present work of the Holy Spirit ob-
taining a bride for the crucified ané
risen Christ. We know from Eph. v,
31, 32, that Adam and Eve are typical
of Christ and the church. and there is
much to be learned from all the brides
of Scripture, notably Rebekah, Rachel.
Asenath and others. The Bride, the
Lamb's wife, is described in Rev. xxi,
and in Jer. iit, 14. Jehovah says that
Ue is married to Israel.
We hive seen Abrubam promised a
seed ag the dust of the earth or the,
sand of the sea and again as the saurs
of heaven, and we hase seen the two
combined (Gen. xiii, 16; xv. 5; xxii, 19).
Later we shall see the star promise
given tv Esnac and the dust promise to
Jacob (xvi. 4: =Kviil, 14), and some
day when we set thg eleet chuteh and
the elect Iarael ecumpietely fathered.
the heavenly and the earthly seed of
Abraham, the stars and the sind, we
ukty Wonder that we did pot see it be
fore. :
In our lJessan chapter we see 2
wealthy father and his only son, who
had been given beek to bim from the
dead in a fisare art te whom he had
given all that he bal (verses $5, 361.
We sce also a servant who bid control
of all his tmmster’s goods going forth
to obtain a wife for this son and car:
tying with [fin samples of his inaster’s
wealth (verses 10, 22. 55). ‘The story
of the servaat’s prayer. bis childlike
trust in God the direct answer to bis
prayer and his refusal to eat till he
had told his errand are aS} most fasci-
nating and Iustructive amd a crand
commentary on the Golden Text.
As we rezai of the only son to whont
the fatber gave all that he had we cun~
not but recall these words: “All things
are delivered unto Me of My Father.”
“The Fatber loveth the Son and hati
given all things into His hand” (Matt.
xi, 27; John fii, 25). Then as to the
Holy ‘Spirit, whose special work im
this age ts to obtain a bride for Christ
and who is suggested by Abraham's
servant and bis comunission, we cannot
but think of these words concerning
Ifim: “He shall testify of me." “He
shall receive of mine and shall shew
it unto you” Gobn xv, 26; xvi, 14). ‘The
Holy Spirit tells in His word of the
wealth and the love of the Son of God.
ang the only question for the sinner
fs,.“Wilt thou go with this man?”
(Werse 58.)
‘When the réply is, as Rebekab’s was,
“1 Will go,” then the matter of our re-
demption is settled. and we start on
our way to meet our Isaac, having re-
ceived from the Spirit evidences of His
love and His riches of grace, such as
are set forth in Uph. f, 3, 6 7. 13. 14;
Rom. ili, 24; v. 1: vill, 1; 1 Jobn iii, 1,
2, ete. We must start at once, as the
servant did with Rebekah, and not tar-
ry in the old, surroundings, for we are
now His putchased property, and we
are to serve the living and true God
and to wait for His Son from hearen,
whom Ue raised from the dad, even
Jesus, who delivered us from the
wrath to come (I Thess. i, 9, 10).
'There is no record of the journey be-
yond the fact that Rebekah and ber
damsels rode upon the camels and fol-
lowed the man as he took them and
‘went his war.
It must have been a long journey,
commonplace and weary, and they
knew not the way, but the man knew
the way, and they had only to follow
him. ‘The only true life of the be
liever is to yield to the Holy Spirit's
control add guidance and let Him hare

RENUNCIATION OF FRIEND-
SHIP.
“T have given up thy friendship, ’twas
a hard and bitter thing,
But mine’s a nature far too proud to
bear neglect’s cold sting;
Had the tie by death been broken, I
could have bowed my head
And wept such tears as consecrate
the memory of the dead.
I could have looked beyond the grave
and, kneeling, kissed the rod, -
That, while it smote me, bore thee up
unto the throne of God;
And yet I do not blame thee, the fault
was ‘wholly mine,
I had formed a halo round thy brow
which was not wholly thine,
I had placed thee on a pedestal too
high for worldly worth,
It hath crumbled now and left thee
where I found thee, on the earth;
But go, I would not wake again my
memory in thy heart;
It hath slumbered down the stream of
time—oh, let it now depart! ¢
It were not worth the trouble, it hath
lost its charm for me,
Its faded light could never sked onc
gleam of joy on me.”
—St, Stephen’s Parish Visito1
THREE VARIETIES OF RESUR-
RECTION PLANTS.
Enterprising florists are now at-
tractiny, the attention of the public
by displaying new and surprising
specimens of the resurrection plant,
says the Philadelphia “Récord.”
- What is generally known as the
Rose of Jericho is perhaps the most
widely known of these curiosities in
plant life, and other varieties have re-
cently been added to thelist of res-
urrection oddities. The Rose of Jer-
icho is said to be imported from the
valley of the River Jordan, and is the
resurrection plant mentioned in_ the
Bible. The-plant, when received from
its native home, is seemingly lifeless
sticks or branches clustered together
tightly. When placed in a glass of
water, however, the branches expand,
seed buds unfold, and soon the green
foliage starts out and the plant re-
zlly grows. .
| The Mexican resurrection plant is
the fluffy, fern-like variety often no-
‘ticed in saucers of water in-the flo-
rist’s window. This delights the chil-
dren, as the plant is so quickly resur-
rected from a dry, hard ball to a
gieen, living plant. When it is dor-
mant it is a dry, shrunken, rounded
ball of tightly folded leafllets, dry and
dead. It is dropped in i bowl of tep-
id water, and soon one tcond-like tip
curls slowly outward; then another
and another, and in as ¢rt time there
\is floating in the dish : 2eautiful me-
| tallic-zreen plant, a g2at, Ioose-ex-
| panded rosette of fine, £ rn-like Jeaves
| —odd and beautiful, y
The experiment can be repeated
many times, the plant curling togeth-
er tightly when dry, and expanding
pinto new life when soaked in water.
The Astericus pygmaus is the only,
resurrection plant that develops blos-
soms. In reality, it is the blossom
that is resurrected from a dry, hard,
shell-like substance to a full-grown
tflower. The dry sticks holding ‘these
;buds are leafless, and the whole af-
|fair seems insignificant, dead and
| worthless, but when placed in water
, the stems take on new life, the dead
‘soon the petals expand and display
{flower buds show signs of green, and
‘their fluffy centres.
| These three varieties of resurrec-
tion plants may be hept indefinitely,
and their strength does not seem in
the least exhausted by repeated res-
urrections. They quickly go back to
their dead or dormant state when tak-
en from the water, and no mater how
long they are kept in this condition
they are ready to respond with+new
life when again placed in water.

proud of its wonderful record,

The democratic senators are scrapping over committee assignments Charges and countercharges of deals and double dealing have been made. The Georgia senators are in the mix-up, and of course the pitchfork senator from South Carolina is holding a star place. This old senator who is generally vitriolic in his speech, uttered a great truth last Monday when he said that in comparison with the Republicans, "we are an untrained mob." This will be more fully verified as the days grow old. With full rein of government in their hands, the house, the senate and the presidency, the bit will be taken between the teeth and many wild and uproarous stunts will be witnessed.
The recent pronouncement by the chief of police to the members of the force to rid the streets and corners of all loafers and hangers on regardless as to color, meets the approbation of each and every one of us. That the street corners of Savannah harbor an unusual quota of loafers, is a fact well known to all of us. Besides blocking the streets, they, by their vulgar and blatant language coupled with an audacious and familiar stare, too often make walking along some of our streets a hardship rather than a pleasure. The chief of police made it clear to his men that the pronouncement included not only Negroes but whites as well. This is indeed pleasing to note, for while we do not in the least champion the cause of the Negro loafers and think that they should not summarily be dealt with af the same time we rejoice to note that with their departure from our streets and corners will be also that of the white loafers. Street loafing brings about quarrels and street fights. At least seventy five percent of the street brawls are thus caused. Let the police rid our streets of this nuisance and the keeping of the peace will be a part of a larger number of us. By all means, let us rid our city of the street and corner loafers. They are a destructive rather than a constructive force. They retard rather than advance the interests of our community. They prove poor advertisement to our city. In short, they are a menace. By all means let the street loafer go.
Again the grim reaper, death, has been among us and accomplished some of his work. As a result, Harriet Tubman, affectionately known as Aunt Harriet and one of the noblest women of America, is no more. Today, at least ten million souls bow their heads in sorrow over her demise. And why not one hundred million? For, Harriet Tubman not only served the race with which she was identified but her country as well. She was indeed one of America's noblest women. To students of history, the life of Harriet Tubman is well known. She was born a slave on a Maryland plantation. From early childhood, she looked upon slavery and all of its attending evils as a curse. At the early age of thirteen we find her battling, almost single handed, for her freedom as well as the freedom of her people. Possessed of unusual physical strength for a woman, Harriet was able on many occasions to take good care of herself when an attempt would be made by her overseer or master to inflict bodily punishment upon her. And not only for her own protection did she use her physical strength, but for others of her down trodden race as well. After escaping from her master, Harriet reachesthe North where she soon began the organization and operation of the underground railroad. Her great service to escaping slaves is too well known for comment here. During the civil war, Harriet served as a spy for the Union army. As a conductor of the un
derground railroad, as a spy and nurse during the civil war and as a life long champion of the cause of her people, the life and achievements of Harriet Tubman stood out in bold relief. She was a friend and inspiration to the great and illustrious Frederick Douglass. Hers indeed was a life well spent. Born a slave, reared at the breast of want, unable to share the comforts and pleasures of life, she stepped out into the broad arena of life and fought her battles for justice and freedom for herself and her people. Her battles were well fought. She is no more. She has gone to her reward. What a life of inspiration has she left to us! Harriet Tubman lived for her people. She lived well. Let us perpetuate her memory by taking up the unfinished work where she left it and, dedicating ourselves to a life of service to ourselves and fellowmen, strive to do our full duty to ourselves and mankind in general.

Social Happenings.
Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Carter entertained on Friday March 7th, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Denegall, of New York City. A very elaborate supper was enjoyed by all who attended. The Metionome orchestra furnished music for dancing and added much to the pleasure and enjoyment of the evening. Mr. and Mrs. R. Smith and Misses Blanche and Georgia Johnson favored the guests with some beautiful singing. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Denegall of New York City: Mr. Peter Denegall, father of Mr. Denegall: Miss M. Graves. Mrs. I. Lumpkin, Mr. and Mrs. R. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Brabham, Mr. and Mrs. M. Bryan, Mrs. A. M.

Mr. E. P Small Surprised. A surprise birthday stag party was tendered Mr. E. P. Small on last Friday night by his wife, Mrs. Ethel Small, in celebration of his forty-ninth birthday. The affair took place at their residence 527 Montgomery street. Quite a number of Mr. Small's friends were present and an enjoyable time was had. He was taken much by surprise, for on returning to his home about ten thirty o'clock, he found his house full of a jolly set of fellows who were awaiting his return. The purpose of the gathering was then made known to him by one of the guests, which was followed by several short talks.

TUBERCULOSIS
Dear Brethren, for the past 11
years I have been calling your at-
tention to this dreaded disease and
its ravages among all mankind re-
gardless of race, standing or envi-
ronment. Iam pleased to say to
you it is now on the decline be-
cause of the vigorous efforts made
by us all to check it out. Let me
beg bf you not tolet up in your
efforts as men in the lodge and in
the home to still further crush out
consumption. Remember" to ven-
tilate your halls; do not allow the
members to spit on the floors, or
other persons when the hall is used
by others. Have your homes ven-
tilated; as far as possible sleep
with your windows and_ doors
opened at night. Eat good, fresh
and ‘wholesome food. Don’t buy
food from any one just because it
is cheap.

‘The Masonic lodges here are all
growing. Weekly, good material
is being added to the order through
the seventeen lodges here. ‘he
members are all progressive and
are striving to keep the order up
to the full standard and admit none
but those'that are truly worthy.
Not every one that knocks is re-
received,
There was a joint communication
of the lodges a few nights ago
looking toward the purchasing of
an additional lot ‘adjoining their
present lot on which they desire to
erecta building suitable for ac-
commodation of all the lodges in
thecity. Atthat meeting over two
thousand and five hundred dollars
were subscribed, and since that
time most of that amount has been
paid in. That looks as though the
masons of Atlanta haye made up
in their minds to stop paying rent
some time in the near future. Of
course there are some lodges that
}ean do more than they haye done
and some hare done more than they

the necessity of having a temple
of their own. This much is worth
noting; the young lodges are more
activein the movement than the
old ones.
In this movement the Grand
Master is striving; to lead the
brethren to success and he will, if
they will only do as he says and
follow loyally. ‘The lodges are re-
sponding to the call of the Grand
Secretary in the matter of sending
in their Grand lodge taxes as per
the rules of the Grand lodge.
The lodges have come together
and are preparing a beautiful jewel
for the Grand Master in token for
his faithful and honorable services
tothe order. It covers every de-
gree of Masonry from the first
through the thirty third, he being
a thirty third degree Mason, a

present this valuable token of re-
spect and have the ladies present, |

see how they loye the Grand Mas-;
ter and appreciate his services. |

Grand lodge is so far the only col-
ored fraternal organization to be
given license by the insurance
‘commissioner to do a fraternal in-
surance businessin the state. Our
license is No. 3, and up to thatonly
one colored and two white organi-
zations have passed. We think it
best for the fraternal societies to
at once comply With the law now
than to wait and be made to do so
Jater when it will be harder for
them to adjust themselyes to the
state’s requirements.

oldest members of Crystal lodge

A Successful Avent.
The agents of the Guaranty Mu-
tual Life and Heaith Insurance
Company look forward with pleas-
ure to their Saturday morning
meetings, at which time important
matters pertaining to insurance are
freely discussed, and talks by dif-
ferent agents are given. At the
meeting‘of March 15, the follow-
ing paper was read by Mr. Joseph
J. Brown:
“Successful insurance agents
are like leaders, born not made.
It is true many who have the push
and go ip them may become fairly
successful, but to become a real,
live, energetic and successful
agent, one that his company is al-
ways proud to refer to, he must
have the instinct born in him,
thereby under the management of
an experienced superintendent or
inspector, that instinct will be de-
veloped to a yery high degree of
efliciency.
“A successful agent’s greatest
asset is ‘Loyalty.? He should be
loyal first to the company which
he represents; secondly, to the
members from whom he collects,
and to the agents with whom he is
associated. He should endeavor
to be truthful at dlltimes, and
should ‘refrain from practicing
questionable methods. A retenta-
tive memory isa thing that any
person should well be proud of,
but an agent should not trust too
much to his memory, as forgetful-
ness sometimes not only places
him in an embarrassing position,
but causes him to lose his business
and injure his popularity in that
particular neighborhood, and un-
less he is fortunate enough to
overcome such mistakes, his use-
fulness as an agent will soon be at
ah end. ‘herefore, in order 10)
avoid mistakes that very often do!

Jab Work,
Tho Amber Industry, .
The business of obtaining amber
from the ocean has been for long a
‘state monopoly in Prussia. The chief
center of the industry is in the prov-
ince of eastern Prussia. The gathering
of the amber goes on throughout the
Sear, but it is most profitable at the
time of the equinoctial storms.’ when
the winds and the wuves throw it
ashore. Affer a storm the fishermen
drag the beach. They deposit the
haul upon the strand, where the wem-
en and childreu pick out the pieces of,
amber from among the seaweeds. The
pieces are assorted avcording to size,
color and form, ‘The value of 1 piece
of amber fs enbanced when it bears
the impressions of plant or animal
substances. The prices of the pieces
vary from about 13 cents to 75:cents,
but may reach to $100 or more. The
price per pound runs from about $1.25
to $7.50. A very large piece sometimes
attains the weight of sixteen or seven-
teen ounces. ‘The color is most com-
monty the familiar yellow, but it may
be reddish brown or emerald green or
creamy color and some pieces are quite
white. The total yield Is valued at
$1,500,000 2 year.—Harper’s Weekly. .
Long Arm of Coincidence.
An amusing story from the suburbs
concerns a householder who recently
bought two theater tickets, for his wife
and himself, but inadvertently invited
another married couple to spend the
same evening at his bouse. When the
mistake was discovered it was decided
to hand the tickets to another friend
rather than ask the expected guests to
come on a subsequent evening. But
the man to whom the tickets were
given was called out of town, and he
in turn hurriedly handed them over to
a near neighbor, suggesting the latter
should take his wife to the play. Now.
this is where the long arm of coinci-
dence comes in. The near neighbor
and his wife were the invited guests
of the purchaser of the tickets. They
thought it would be a pity to lose the
chance of such a fine dramatic treut.
and, not knowing the real origin of the
tickets. they wrote a note explaining
the situation and used the two seats
which their hosts had meant for them-
selves.—Glasgow News..
Chances His Face Quartaoriy.
He came to the club lunch—the

recognized, for he was clean shaven.
We had known him with a mustache.
with navy cut beard, with an imperial
and with several other changes on the
cheeks, chin and Mp. But the clean
shaven man was 2 wonder for a few
moments—until some one said, “Yes,
itis!" And the young man with the
naked face confessed bis identity. And
he explained the reason for the change.
“I don’t mind shaving.” said the
young man, “and I don’t mind having

At that time the coin of the realm

fore he could buy anything in the “tuck
shop” a new boy had to get one of the
beadles, who were the school money
changers, to change his shillings and
pence into “house money,” as it was
called. This was made of copper, the
coins ‘being octagonal in.shape, with
their values stamped on them. These
curious coins are now very rare, and

A woman buying groceries was an-
noyed by the whistling of the clerk
who waited on her. She complained to
the proprietor about it. and after she

soul shaking frown on the boy and in-
quired why be bad been so rude.

Courteous Attention to AIL,
AN EASTER SERMON.
Preached by the Rev. Richard Bright
in St. Stepken’s Church, Savan-
nah, Ga., Easter, 1892.
+ “But now is Christ risen from the
dead and become the first fruits of
them that slept.”—I. Cor. 15: 20.”
The Kesurrection of Christ a Histor-
ical Fact.
‘At cach recurring anniversary of
the resurrection of Christ, the one
thought which ought to be uppermost
in our minds is this—viz.: ‘Lhat it is
an objective reality.
The Resurrection of Jesus the Most
Stupendous Miracle in the Mis-
tory of the World.
Though the disciples had heard the
aesurrection spoken of time and
again, they had never truly grasped
the idea. It wus something wholly
alien to their minds—i. ¢., a literal
resurrection. Even Greek mythology
offered them no help in solving the
mystery.
We can’t help but commend the ear-
ly believers in the resurrection, be-
cause the aye in which it occurred
\was not one given to belief in super-
natural religion.
The Jewish mind was highly skep-
tical, as we shall see from the atti-
tude of Nathanael and Philip and
Thomas. When the first-named was
informed that the Messiah had been
found in Nazareth, he replied with
scorn, “Can any good thing come out
of Nazareth. Philip, in spite of his
intimacy with Christ, was in doubt
concerning the Father. After the
resurrection, when Thomas was told
by his associates that they had seen
the risen Lord, declared that unless
he saw thé print of the nails and the
mark which the soldier’s spear made
in his side, he would not believe. It
is evident that the resurrection of Je-
sus Christ is a fact. The disciples
could not have invented such a story.
Their simple education made it im-
nogsible. But when it became known
that Christ had risen from the dead,
for the most part, they believed it
readily.
Unbelievers Assert That Christ's
Death Was Imaginary.
.. Unbclievers have brought forward
the arzument that Christ's death was
imaginary, that it was not real. But
ghyone acquainted with the methods
of crucitixion knows how absurd this
charge is, It was a Roman mode of
‘punishment, and was attended by tor-
ture of the highest kind.
Generally, death by ciucifixion did
not-supervene till three days, and was
at least the result of gradual numb-
ing and starvation. During this time
the Romans permitted the sufferers
to linger on instead of shortening
their agonies.”) ‘These. in themselve-,
were -enough to cause death. | But,
#ranting that they did not, don’t you
suppose that the terrible wound made
in His side by the soldier's spear,
which measured a hand-breadth, was
enough to produce death?
It is certain that Christ died; the
centurion and the soldiers who were
present at the crucifixion testified to
His death. It would have been a
great reflection on the Roman sol-
diers to charge them with not know-
ingg a dead man when they saw one.
The soldiers of the Roman Empire
were constantly engaged in war.
They were accustomed to see their
comrades and others expire on the
field of battle. It is preposterous,
then, to suppose that those who were
detailed to crucify Christ did not
know whether he was dead. Not only
ae He die, but He was the first to
ie. .
Soldiers Slept While the Disciples
Stole the Body.
But no sooner than we dispose of
‘one objection than another is pre-
sented: “The soldiers slept while his
disciples stole His body.” Baser
charges could not have been made
against the soldiers and the disciples.
“Slept while on duty!” Why, a Ro-
man soldier of the old empire would
have reyarded such a charge as a
gross insult.
If the soldiers who guarded the
tomb were asleep, the Roman army
must have become suddenly demoral-
ized, for the guard at’ the tomb com-
prised sixty men, and it doesn’t seem
plausible that all of them would have
been asleep at once.
They were guilty of falschood when
they said that they slept while the
disciples stole the body. They knew
too well what punishment, would fol-
low such a breach of discipline.
The fidelity of the Roman soldier
to duty has been beautifully illustrat-
ed by the discovery of the skeleton of
a Roman soldier standing upright at
his post, spear in hand. Excavations
made by scientists of the cities, of
Pompeii and Herculaneum destroyed
by Vesuvius, A. D. 79, revealed the
silent testimony to this ancient war-
rior.
That the Disciples Stole His Body is
Equally Without Foundation. :
When the Saviour was with the dis-
When the Saviour was with the dis-
ciples, they were not specially coura-
geous, and it is not possible that after
they had no one on whom to Ican that
they would have attempted to inter-
fere with the body. Though we are
dealing with a serious subject, a bit
of the ridiculous comes in when we
think of @ few fceble-hearted Gali-
lean fishermen stealing a dead body
from siaty Roman “Soldiers, even
though they were asleep, as has been
assented.
‘At this time, the Jewish people
svere thoroughly subdued by the Ro-
mans; they were “cowed” as we
would express it today—hence it was
the last thing they would have at-
tempted.
If the I¥sciples Stole the Body of
Christ, What Did They Do with It?
“It is a most difficult mat! ge
rid of a dead body.” meas
That it is most difficult to dispose
of a dead body illegally, is beyond
question. Countless instances could
ve named, but a few will suffice:
‘A few’ years ago a casi shipped
from Denmark arrived in New York
City. After remaining in the custom
house awaiting an owner, the customs
officials were startled at noticing a
peculiar odor coming from the eask,
‘which on close examination, was
found to contain the body of a dead
man. The murderer was traced and
executed.
. In the carly part of the last cen-
‘tury there was attached to the staff
lof Harvard University faculty a
chemist by the name of Webster. It
happened that Prof. Webster owed
one Parker quite a sum of money.
Parker had been in thehabit of go-
ing to Webster to dun him.” One day,
however, they must have engaged in
hot words over the settlement of the
bill, when Webster killed Parker. Bo-
ing’ a chemist, he used all his skill in
trying: to dispose of the body, but af-
‘ter all his labor, some portions of it
were found, which helped to fasten
the crime upon him. As a result, he
was tried and convicted; and, ’ al-
though every effort was made to save
hint, he was hanged.
‘The Full Moon at the Resurreetion Il-
luminated the Whole City of
| Jerusalem. ~
' At the time of the crucifixion, Je-
rusalem was brilliantly _ illuminated
by the Paschal moon, the splendor
of whose brilliancy can be attested to
by multitudes of people who haye
seen the full moon at Easter. The
Holy City was thronged with Jews
from all parts of the world, who came
to attend the Feast of the Passover.
The city was overcrowded. Some of
the people had to encamp in the open
air, and with such a concourse of peo-
ple, some must have been astir dur-
ing the night and would have seen
the disciples, had they attemtped to
carry off the body.,
Christ's Body Deposited in a Tomb.
Through the, generosity of Joseph
-of Arimathea, to all intents a secret
disciple, the body of Jesus was buried
in his tomb, a new one in which no
one had ever been interred. It is-also
certain that his body disappeared
from that tomb. Now, the question
arises, “Where did it go?” The best
reply is in the lanyuage of the “an-
gels: “fe is not here: hd is risen.”
_ The Risen Christ Seen by Mary.
The men ond women who saw the
risen Lord are many in number. He
appeared to Mary Magdalene, to sev-
en disciples, to the eleven apostles, to
the two disciples on their way to Em.,
maus, then to about five | hundred
brethren at once. He ate and drank
with them. What greater testimony
need we?
Character of the Disciples.
We have every reason to accept the
testimony of the disciples, for they
were reliable, men and could be trust-
ed so far as the truth was concerned.
‘They belonged to that class of intelli-
gent men among the lowly who would
spurn theidea of falsehood.
Wholly satisfied that their Lord
had risen triumphant from the grave,
the apostles, as they preached, laid
the greatest ‘stress upon the resurrec-
tion. They made it the bulwark of
‘their faith. St. Paul, who was con-
verted to Christianity five years after
the resurrection, declared that HE
was determined ‘to preach naught
save Jesus and the resurrection; and
it was his lucid exposition of the sub-
ject which caused the tremendous up-
roar at Ephesus.
Great must have been the faith of
the apostles in the risen Saviour,
from the manner in which they went
forth and suffered and died in order
to establish the truth of the resur-
rection.
What man is he, calling himself
Christian, but fails to appreciate the
teachings of this festal day? All over
the world the chimes of cathedrals
and the bells of village churches are
pealing forth the news that “’Tis the
day of Resurrection!” :
Today we rejoice in the living
Christ. Christianity could never have
been complete with a dead Christ. It
needs a living Head who, tho’ unseen,
liveth to make intercession for us.
“If Christ be not risen from the
dead, then were our faith vain, but
now is Christ risen from the dead and
become the first fruits of them that |
slept.”
“Now, let the heavens be joyful, |
Let carth her song begin;
Let the round world keep triumph,
And all that is therein,
For Christ the Lord is risen—
Our joy that hath no end.”
—St. Stephen’s Parish Visitor |
EASTER IN JERUSALEM.
Some of the Sights in the Holy Cit?
‘ — During the Easter Carnival.
Ten days of festival, during which
one sees many diverse’types mingled,
and a multitude of languages con-
founded, mark the arrival of Easter
in Jerusalem. The city then presents
attractions to the traveler that are to
be found there no other season. The
festival begins on Saturday, the eve
of Palm Sunday, and the first cere-
mony is thé entry of the Greck Pa-
triarch into Jerusalem, in memory of
the arrival of Jesus in the Holy city.
On Sunday takes place the blessing
of the palm branches, which are
brought to the Church of the Holy
Sepulchre. At the hour for service,
the temple is overflowing with the
faithful. The procession in this rich-
ly decorated temple is of a marvelous
splendor. The bishops and. priests
and all personages of distinction have
laid their palm branches in the Sep-
ulchre itself. The Patriarch enters
it, and there, before the tomb, hewn
out of the living rock, where for three
days the body of our Saviour reposcd,
he blesses the palm branches.
Seating himself afterward on a
throne at the entrance of the Sepul-
chre, he sees the entire crowd of spec-
tators pass before him. Nothing of
any note takes place on Monday.
On Tuesday, the church is closed.
The ceremonies continue without: dis-
play and with pothing Particular to
mark them, Wednesday is the first
day on which are chanted those
mournful strains known as_ “Tene-
bre.” ‘The processions begin again
on Thursday and end at the’Holy Sep-
ulchre. All is still under charge of
the Greek Patriarch, although Euro-
peans, Asiatics and Armenians, Rus-
sians, Greeks and Syrians, equally
Participates
On the afternoon of Thursday is ex-
hibited what is declared by tradition
to be the Column of Scourging, which
is preserved in the Church of -the
Holy Sepulchre. It is brought out of
a small tabernacle which protects it
on ordinary days; and, under the su-
peryision of monks—both Greck and
Latin—crowds press forward to kiss
it. Greeks, Russians, Armenians—
Christians ‘of every denomination—
usually join in this demonstration.
According to the rabbins, punish.
ment b ythe scourge was an infliction
from which no Ispaclite who had of-
fended the law was exempt. This tra-
ditional memorial of the Saviour’s
caithly sufferings and humiliation
seems to possess a Wonderful fasci-
nation for the multitude of worship-
pers, whose eagerness to clasp and
kiss it exceeds all bounds. Looking
lat such a crowd, one can sonrewhat
‘better understand the intense enthu-
siasm of these Oriental peoples on,
all religious matters and their ready
acceptance of all the myths and leg-
Sadasy stale the monks have invent-
ed,
__ Such are some of the incidents of
Easter week, in a land where the
truth of the Gospel of Jesus and the
story of his life and death are still
‘burdened and partially obscured by
‘monkish traditions and superstitious
usages. ‘To the simple, believing
Christian, there is much in these
scenes that is harsh, unspiritual, and
far from reverential. Yet, as they
‘gre, now, so they fave been for cen.
turies; ahd they furnish some of
those ‘strange spectacles, peculiar to
jthe East, and characteristic of its
; people. : i

EGGS AND EASTER.
The use of eggs on Easter Day
(sometimes called Pasche or paste
eggs), is a very ancient custom. By
the Egyptians exes were held as a
sacred emblem of the renovation of
mankind after the deluge. ‘The Jews
adopted them to suit the circum-
stances of their histery as a, type of
their departure from “the land of
Egypt. They were also uscd in the
feast of the Passover. Hyde, in his
description of Oriental sports, tells
of one with eggs among the Chris-
tians of Mesopotamia on Easter Day,
and forty days afterward: “The sport
consists .in” striking their exes one
ayuinst the other, and the egg that
firsts breaks is taken by the owner
of the one that struck it. Immedi-
winning egg, (p.-5an ETAO TAOL
ately another exg is pitted against
the winning egg, and so on till the
last egg wins all the others, which
their respective owners shall before
have won.” A similar sport is ob-
served in some European countries
where Easter eggs ate “rolled upon
the green” against each other till
broken.

“AND SEEETH ‘THE STONE TAK-
EN AWAY.”
By W. B. Chisholm.
Brightly glows the Paschal candle,
» for the holiest feast is set;
Lilies spray the gilded lectérn, and
the rose and mignonette,
And the hyacinth is trailing round the
alcoves of the shrine,
And the tapers in ‘their vigils through
the night expectant shine.

Early in the morn awaking to the
Light of Light, shall we
At His tomb with tearful Mary, with
the sad disciples be;
Say not that the grave is victor—
that the sleeper still shall sleep
And the world in orphaned sorrow
still, as now, despairing weep!
For in tremor and amazement see the
stern centurion start,
Sce the rocky portals waver and the
seal that binds them part,
And the sun for gladness dancing in
the reddening Eastern sky,
And, the choirs of angels nearing, as
‘on His Nativity.
Resurrexit! o’er the sadness of the
vanished Lenten way
Throbs the organ with its gladness—
thrills the harp of Easter Day;
And the Cross with garlands wreath-
en o’er the feast in glory gleams,
O’er the Sun of'Life that’s rising with
blest healing in His beams.

BROOD.SOW MANAGEMENT.
Feeding Methods That Result In Strong
and Healthy Litters. f
‘To produce stroug. healthy litters it
is not only necessary that the sows be
fed correctly upon feeds that furnisk
sufficient muscle, bone and energy mak-
ing materials. but that they be handled
wisely during the period of gestation.
‘The mother sow needs food for three
important purpases—first, for her own
maintenance; second, for growth on
her own body and, third, for the nour-
ishment of the fetal plgs. Corn lacks
muscle and bone formers and in addi-
tion {s too concentrated—not bulky
enough for breeding swine. Tankage,
meat meal, linseed oil meal, skimmilk,
buttermilk. bran. oats, middlings.
shorts, soy beans, clover and alfalfa
are the logical supplements to corn in
the middle west. At the Iowa station
we have found that most excellent ra-
tions for gilts carrying litters nre:
First—Corn, 83 to 90 per cent; meat
meal or tankaze containing 60 per cent
protein, 10 or 12 per cent. :
Second.—Corn, 75 per cent; finely cut
closer or alfalfa, 25 per cent.
Third.—Corn, 80 per cent; oats, chop-
ped clover or alfalfa, 10 per cent; meat
meal or tankage, 10 per cent.
For old sows the proportion of meat
meal or tankaze can be cut down prac-
tically one-third to two-fifths and still
get excellent results.

nant animals do well only when abun-
dant opportunity for exercise is allow-
ed. The general tone and vigor of the
mother is reflected in, the offspring.
‘The better the general health and con-
dition of the dam the stronger and
more vigorous the young. Mange on
pasture is perhaps the best of all. Al-
low the sows fo follow cattle for
awhile, but be sure to remove them
when they tend to become clumsy and
heavy. Scatter the feed over the
ground, such as sheaf oats, soy bean
hay,.ete, and Iet the sows gather it.
Feed on the side of the field opposite
‘the slecping bunks. Allow hay itt
racks, the eating at which 1s cop-
ducive to liht exercise. Shut the sows
from the bouses in the middle of the
day rather than allow them to huddle
up and snooze peaceably. Schemes to
induce exercise cost little. yet the re-
turns are considerable.
Warmth, dryness. veulilation and
sunlight are the essentials of an ideal
hog house. Such conducive conditions
can” be secured with a little fore-
thought. Good dry bedding is necded
and to De kept dry must be changed
regularly.
Laxativeness of the bowels is bigh-
ly desirable, as costiveness fs a men-
ace. Plenty of exercise combined with
lasative feeds such as tankage, oil-
meal, bran, alfalfa, lias, ete, will
largely solve the problem. Lowever.
