following which date the law went dnto
effect, were $33,651,556.62, an increase over

tho corporations pay a very large share
of them, the New York stock exchange
alone contributing about $13,000 per day.

mortal hero, which has been standing at
the north end of the Libby prison grounds
since the World’s -Fair, will be sold to the

ALABAMA NEGROES
At St. Louis Spent Sunday in Religous Ex
ercises.
By Associated Press.
St. Louis, Oct. 17. —The fifty-seven ne
groes from Alabama that were sent 'to £t.
Louis from Springfield, 111., after the
union miners at Virden had refused to al
low them to remain at Virden, are quarter
ed ‘in the jail here.
They spent Sunday in preaching and
religious exhortation and are more than
anxious to get back to Alabama.
It is said that -while Mayor Ziegenheim
might wish to send the blacks to Alabama
such action would make the city of St.
Louis liable for damages to the Chicago-
Virden Coal Co., who brought them north
at heavy expense. It seems now that they
will be sent back to Illinois, where Gov.
Tanner can make what disposition he
pleases with them.
To send them to Alabama is not within
the province of the St. Louis authorities,
who had no connection with the trouble at
Virden.

In service, which Is a customary exhibit
In the secretary’s annual report to con
gress, sent a message to Admiral Dewey
for an accurate list of the prizes he was
now utilizing in his fleet. The question
shows what latitude the department allows
the admiral and the answer tells how un
hesitatingly he has acted for the good of
the service and to strengthen his own
forces without waiting for help from home.
He replies: “The following former Span’sh
vessels are in my possession:
"Manila, (cruiser) commissioned July

President McKinley will review- the pa
rade from the stand at the auditorium.
Two of the jubilee arches, the Dewey at
State and Monroe streets and the first regi
ment at Michigan avenue and Vanburen
streets were blown down today by the high
wind prevailing. No one was injured by
- either collapse.
The Michigan avenue structure was bad
ly broken and will have to be rebuilt. The
painted canvass depicting the adventures
of Colonel Turner’s men was torn in a
dozen places. The Dewey arch was nearly
completed.
Only the surmounting ornaments were
to be put in place. When the arch went
dow-n the laborers were at work on the
Rough Riders’ arch at State and Madison
streets and thus escaped being carried
down with the frame work.

In a Well Played Game Saturday—The
Georgia Team Shows Signs of Im
provement in Offensive
Play.
Special to The News.
Athens, Oct. 17.—The game of football
played here Saturday afternoon between
Georgia and the Atlanta Athletic Club
resulted in a victory for the former by a
score of 14 to 0. The game was stubbornly
contested by each. team and was char
acterized by many star plays.
The University team showed much im
provement since the last game with Clem
son, both in offensive and defensive work.
The interference was especially good.
The A. A. C. is composed of a great
many university men, all of whom are
and experienced players. They
are a strong team and put up a splendid
game.
Georgia won the toss and kicks off.
Jones kicked to goal line. The ball was
advanced to the centre of the field by
Bucks, when Georgia gained it on a kick.
Cox then made a phenomenal run around
right end for a touch down. After having
fumbled the ball Cox kicked goal. Score.
Ga., 5; A. A. C., 0. The rest of the first
half was close and exciting, neither team
being able to score.
In the second half Georgia clearly out
classed her opponent. By a series of bucks
and runs Georgia succeeded in making
another touchdown. Cox failed to kick
goal. Score, Ga., 9; A. A. C., 0.
Georgia then rushed the ball down the
field by some brilliant playing for the
third touchdown. Huff kicked goal. Score,
Ga., 14; A. A. C., 0.
The most phenomenal plays for Georgia
were the endruns of Cox and Mclntosh, the
bucking of McCutcheon and the blocking
of Huff. For the A. A. C. Woods played
a star game, as did Barnes.
If the rate of improvement continues
Georgia will have the best team she has
had in years. The men seem o take a de
cided interest in the game and are work
ing hard and faithfully for its success,
which Is undoubtedly assured under the
skillful training of McCarthy.
Georgia has before her three hard bat
tles. She plays Auburn and Vanderbilt in
Atlanta and North Carolina in Ma-on, and
expects to do herself proud. These games
will decide the championship of the South.

BOOM IN BUILDING
j Ships Results from the War and tke Deci
sion of the Department to Keep a
Number of Vessels in the
Service.
By Associated Press.
New York. Oct. 17.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington Bays:
It is expected that the decision of the
secretary of the navy to retain all the ves
sels purchased during the war will have
the effect of causing a boom in American
ship building. It comes just at a time
when there is an unusual demand for ships
flying the American flag on account of the
expanding commerce of the United States
in general and particularly on account of
the decision of the administration to con
fine trade between American ports and
Porto Rico to American vessels.
The navy in preparing for war drew very
largely upon the tonnage of the roastwise
and foreign lines sailing under the Ameri
can flag and the businesss of these lines
cannot be restored to its former propor
tions until vessels have .been built to sup
ply the places of those taken by the gov
ernment. To restore to these lines the
number of vessels they had before the war
will require the construction so 17 ves
sels.
Os these seventeen ships withdrawn
from trade, one, the Merrimac, is sunk.
The sixteen remaining in the possession of
the navy are:
The Niagara, formerly of the New York
and Cuban Mail steamship company.
.The Bangor, formerly the Yumuri of the
New York and Cuban Mall steamship com
pany.
The Supply, formerly the Illinois of the
International Navigation company.
The Iris, formerly the Memensha of the
Miami steamship company.
The Solace, formerly the Creole of the
Colwell line.
The Yankee, the Dixie, the Yosemite and
the Prairie, formerly El Norte. El Rio, El
Sud and El Sol of the Southern Pacific
romp any.
The Resolute, formerly the Yorktown of
the Old Dominion line.
The Relief, formerly the John English
of the Maine steamship company.
The Sterling of the Black Diamond
Transportation company.
The Saturn of the Western TorWboat co.
The Lebanon of the Philadelphia and
Reading company.
The iPanher, formerly the Venezuela of
the Red D line and the Vulcan, formerly
the Chatham of the Merchants and Miners !
line.
There will also be a demand for new I
tugs and yachts to replace those taken
from the merchant service and retained
by the navy.

The Ship Carrying Santa Claus Will

By Associated Press.
New York, Oct. 17.. A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The quartermaster’s department of the
army is arranging to extend its good offi
ces in the direction of transporting a rea
sonable amount of Christmas gifts to the
American soldiers in the garrison at 'Ma
nila.
It will be necessary to start a steamer
from San Francisco early in November In
order to reach the Philippines by Christ
mas and friends of the soldier boys who
wish to forward boxes of good things are
already in correspondence with Quarter
master General Luenington on the sub
ject.
The rigid rule has been laid down that
Christmas boxes for the soldiers at Ma
nila must not contain quantities of sweet
things calculated to disturb the digestion
of men living in the -tropics. Mincemeat,
fruit cake and candy will be permitted
only in small parcels, and it is advisable
that packages be limited in weght as the
department will not be able to forward over
a thousand tons at the utmost.
The packages will have to be delivered
-at San Francisco without expense to the
government, which has no fund for trans
porting such supplies, and it is essential
that the quartermaster general shall give
permission 'in each case for the package to
go aboard a government transport.

meet at the public library this afternoon.
They will consider all bills presented and

Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E.
Hart, of Groton, S. D., “Was taken with a
bad cold which settled on mylungs; cough
set in and finally terminated in consump

could live but a short time. I gave myself
up to -my savior, determined If T could
not stay with my friends on earth I would
meet my absent ones above. My husband
was advised to get Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds.
I gave it a trial; took in all eight bottles.
It has cured me and thank God I am
saved and am now a well and healthy
woman.” Trial bottles free at H. J. La
