Charles A. Briggs has issued his latest
book, “The Messiah of the Gospel.”
It lias been ready for publication
since 1887, but he delayed giving it to

greater attention than any I 10 has

RODDEY’S DIG St HEME.
To Be Thoroughly Investigated by
Cotton Growers.
About fifty of the leading cotton
growers of Georgia and other states J
met in Atlanta Wednesday to discuss
the plan of Mr. John T. Roddey, of
New York, who proposes for thc eotV
ton growers of the south to form a cVr
ner on cotton for and by themsi ves.
in order to control the price. I 1
gathering plan individually, recommended withbel/fformal Mr. Ki/ldey’s
but
indorrement as an associations until hia
scheme could be thoroughly inveeti
gated,
A committee of thr-. was appointed
w ^ ose business H ^ rora will > r jf W" county the calling ia every of
cotton growing -tin the Fnion for
the purpose of holding at some fntore
day an interstate > invention. In an
interview withf Mr. Roddey, he had
the followinc g/to say in a brief outline
of “It" his Lig aljr yfihenie: mistake about
a our pro
,in C tj g the cause of low priced
because the crop is manip
speculators. Now, my idea
is Vo make the crop control the price.
IVnis can he done by forming a gigantic
combination or company with a capi
tal of $50,000,000 or $100,000,000.
T< form this company I would suggest
that the producers contribute one bale
of cotton out of every five tiny make.
In this way the stock can be subscribed,
and the producer will not bo out a
dollar.
“This seems absurd, but say that in
a crop of 8,000,000 for every five
bales a farmer grows he take stock to
the extent of one bale. That would
leave a crop of 6,400,000 to be mar¬
keted, the 1,600,000 being set aside as
capital stock for the company and
taken out of the available supply.
Now I verily believe that 6,400,000
bales of cotton will bring in value
fully as much as 8,000,000—the differ¬
ence which has gone to speculators
and manufacturers will be set aside for
the producer in stock the first year.
In case of a crop failure he lias his
stock iu the company to full back on,
and the company can sell part or all of
their cotton, provided the price is
high enough, hut in no case permit the
market to be flooded with cotton.
“To perfect the system of operations
it would he advisable to have the gins
in each county listed and the number
of bales ginned reported to the general
office. If possible it would be a good
idea tocontrol the gins. If cotton then
comes in too freely we could notify the
giuners and have them suspend opera¬
tions until the demand increased.”
WHO IS GOVERNOR?
The Election in Tennessee Not Yet
Officially Settled.
A Nashville dispatch of Thursday
says: Up to this time it is not official¬
ly known whether Peter Turney, dem¬
ocrat, or H. Clay Evans, republican,
is elected governor of Tennessee. Ac¬
cording to the footings made at the
party headquarters anil iu the news¬
paper offices unofficial returns show
Evans to have carried the state by
something like 2,000.
It has been understood that the re¬
turns from every county in the state
have been in the hands of Secretary of
State Morgan for several days.
Wednesday there was a consultation
of Secretary Morgan, Attorney Gen¬
eral Pickle and other officials whereat
it was decided that the returns should
not bo made public until the poll
books had beeu sent in from every
county. This delay in announcing
the returns, following upon the recent
announcement of Judge McCorry that
the election of Evans should never be
conceded until the election frauds
charged against the republicans had
been thoroughly investigated, has ex¬
cited the republicans.
THE RETURNS WITHHELD.
Chairman 8aumlers, of the republi¬
can state executive committee, who
made a second demand upon Secretary
of State Morgan for a copy of the re¬
turns of the recent state election, re¬
ceived a reply from Morgan, again de¬
clining to comply with the demand.
Henry McCorry, a prominent demo¬
cratic politician of Tennessee, has de¬
clared that Turney (democrat) is elect¬
ed governor, and the withholding of
the returns from publicity by the board
of inspection, causes much anxiety on
the part of both democrats and repub¬
licans. It is believed that the face of
the returns in possession of the secre¬
tary of state show a plural!y for Evans.

panies.
Governor Fishback, of Arkansas, in
answer to an invitation to join the sil¬
ver party, to be organized at St. Lou¬
is, wrote a letter to the chairman of
the Bi-metallic League, in which lie
said: “I will not follow any set of im
practicables into a new party. The
democratic party is the only one
through which we can ever secure free
and unlimited coinage of silver.”
A Raleigh, X. C., dispatch says:
Official returns from seventy-two
counties show that Tate, democratic
nominee for state treasurer, received
103,535 votes, and Worth, the fusion
nominee, 115,641. Twenty-four
counties remain unofficially reported.
If these preserve the same ratio the
democratic vote will be 139,000, and
the fusion vote 154,000. This will

CHINA MA
A Report That Sir
For Peace?
In accordance with the suggestion of
Japan the state department at Wash¬
ington has notified Minister Dun,
at Tokio, and Minister Denbv, at Pek¬
ing, to transmit such direct offer as
China may wish to make Japan. As
the cable direction, were sent only a
few days ago, sufficient time has not
yet elapsed to determine whether China
will consent to make the offer direct
and definite, as Japan insists must be
done. The Chinese legation at Wash¬
ington is not informed as to what
course its government will take.
It is reported from Hiroshama, Ja¬
pan, that China has intimated that she
will offer to pay a war indemnity of
109,000,000 teals, and, in addition,
pay all the war expenses incurred by
Japan.
WANTED INGERSOLL ARRESTED.
He Lectured at Cincinnati and
Aroused the Ministers.
Bob Ingersoll delivered a lecture at
Cincinnati a few days ago and made
light as usual of the dogmas of the
Bible. At the Methodist ministers’
meeting Wednesday morning, the
Rev. Paul C. Curnick, of St. Paul’s
church, Sprinfield, O., declared that
it was a disgrace to Cincinnati that its
authorities should not have permitted
Ingersoll to talk,laugh and scoff at Je¬
hovah. He thought the Ministers’
Association ought to take immediate
steps towards swearing out a warrant
for Ingersoll’s arrest on the charge of
blasphemy. The Rev. M. Villatte said
in reply that he did not believe in the
suppression of free speech. Besides,
they could not get a jury in Cincinnati
to convict Ingersoll on any such
charge.

“STONE THROWERS.”
THAT IS AYHAT THE KOREANS
OF PYKNG YANG ARE C ALLED.
A City in Which the Foreign Mis¬
sionaries Are Constantly Ferse
cuted by the Natives— ‘Thc
Well-less City/’
N OW China is stories in that and full of brutality the Japan operation, war over and between Korea many
per
secution are naturally looked for, but
to obtain a good idea of the condition
of the country before hostilities broke
out, from those living in the country,
will serve to throw Some light upon
the relative merits of the claims ol the
two contesting nations. Here are
parts of a letter by a missionary, sent
to a friend in this country, but not
written for publication, except possi¬
bly for some of the church aud mis¬
sionary papers. It was composed long
before any one had any idea of a war
between China and Japan, aud shows
the status of civiliz ation in Korea
from an American’s point of view.
“These are stirring times in many
parts of Korea,” the letter opens,
“and it requires courage and forti tude
to live and preach the Gospel iu a
country where the natives call you
‘rice Christi ans,’ and attack you upon
the slightest provocation. In the vil¬
lage of Pyeng Yang, in northern
Korea, the trouble is greatly aggra¬
vated by the attitude of the local au¬
thor ities. They do not half the time
pretend to protect foreigners unless
forcibly compelled to by threats from
the Government, which in turn is re¬
minded that it has a duty to perform
by the resident consuls. Pyeng Yang
has often been called the Moscow of
Korea by foreigners, but the natives
know it better by the term of ‘well¬
less city.' No-where within the wall
of the city is there a single well, and
watermen have to carry up from the
river all the water that is used.
“Owing to its frontier position
Pyeng Yang is one of the worst cities
in Korea. It is close to the great
forests and mining regions, and larg*
numbers of lumbermen, miners, trap¬
pers, and ginseng hunters fill the city.
Y T ice and crime are rampant, and bad
men and women often make the place
dangerous to natives, aud much more
so to foreigners, who are looked upon
as intruders. The missionaries have
inraded this city in numbers because
it is the place where the greatest
amount of good can be done, aud
where we need to start a strong
church. The people of Pyeng Yang
are known throughout the rest of the
couutry ns ‘stone-throwers.’ This is
their method of fighting and of at¬
tacking a disagreeable foe. They re¬
sort to stones as the Italian does to
his stiletto, aud they use them with
considerable effectiveness. But the
most detestable method of attack
which they have is to creep up behind
an enemy and crash the heavy stones
down upon his head aud bo.lv when
his back is turned. Many murders
are committed^ in this way. In a
street brawl stones will fly, freely,and
every one not interested in the fight
hastens to get mit of the way of the
flying stones. T
“ihi s_is of one, of the
4 n i e d by
Pffi^vas pB^ffPrafant child. His recep
anything but flattering. As
soon as his mission was understood a
most violent opposition to him broke
out on every side and he was perse¬
cuted terribly. The provincial Gover¬
nor joined the common populace in
trying to impede the progress of the
new mission station. Shortly after
his arrival his servants were seized,
beaten, and placed iu the death-cell,
where they were horribly tortured.
Even some of the native Christians
were beaten right before the eyes of
the missionary. The water-carriers
were forbidden to carry any more
water to the station. D \ Hall w r as
compelled to go down to the river
himself at the risk of his life to get
water to keep his family alive. Nearly
every night the house was stoned, but
most of the Korean houses
in the cities are very sub¬
stantial, an 1 by barricading him¬
self in the missionary was protected
from any serious harm. He repeat¬
edly notified the Governor that he
was a British subject aud demanded
protection, but this w.i 3 practically
refused. Finally he had to telegraph
to the British cansul at Seoul, which
had the effect of bringing matters to
a better understanding. The Gover¬
nor, however, was not punished fo?
his overt actions, but was excused
upon his plea that he thought the doc
tor a member of the rebellious faction
iu the southern provinces knowm as
Tong Hak, meaning Eistern religion.
“This is only one instance of such
persecution and lack of protection to
foreigners in the cities far separated
from the coast. Iu Seou 1 where con
,
suls of some of the European powers
are generally to be found, matters arc
a little more civilized. The Govern¬
ment, in fact, has no (ontrol over
many of the interior cities. The Gov¬
ernor has no power to punish offend
ei ’’ aa d they consequently control th s
whole city. It is very little protec.
tion, then, that foreigners can hope t»

Music ‘ in New York. ’
Do you know that there are in tins
city between six and s^ven thousand
professional musicians and teachers c f
music, and some three thousand five
hundred workmen engaged in the
eighty or more organ and piano fac
tories alone on this island? Nor are
these all, there being probably two
thousand more engaged in the produe
tion of an infinite variety of orchestral
instruments, for we are no longer do
pendent on Europe for our best. The

Lilting a Dentl Tiger.
When one comes to lifting a dead
tiger one becomes fully aware of its
weight; so does one arrive at due ap¬
preciation of its strength after once
feeling forearm, which is one splendid
mass of steel-like muscle. Then one
understands how the tiger in his prime
can throw a bullock over its shoulder
and canter away with it. Then, too,
one miy well come to pooh-pooh the
claim of the lion to be stTied the king
of beasts. But however interesting
may be the study of the tiger in this
particular phase once or so, it palls
after a time; lifting it is peculiarly
hard aud hot work," and it is dirty
work also, aud it is sometimes made
particularlv exasDerating bv the laches
of the elephant selected for the car
riage of the tiger. For that intel
lectnal beast is required to kneel to
receive its freight, and to kneel long
enough to allow that freight to be
hoisted onto the pad and fastened on ;
and, as often ns not, it will rise at the
critical moment, just when the tiger
has been raised to the edge of the pad,
and tumble the tiger and some of its
lifters on to the ground, and so bring
about the status quo ante.
The elephant has wonderful intelli¬
gence in some utterly useless direc¬
tions. It will, for example, pick up a
pin with its trunk, and I dare sav,
with sufficient encouragement would
swallow that and convert its interior
economy into a pin-cushion ; but I
have never known one to direct its
talents to the simplification of tiger¬
padding, although I have seen mauy
devote their minds and bodies to the
unnecessary duties of adding to the
difficulties of that operation.—Black¬
wood’s Magazine.
Fold Storage.
The value of cold storage to both
producers and consumers can hardly
be overestimated. By its means thou¬
sands of cases of eggs and carloads of
beef, fruit and butter are held and
distributed to the trade as wanted iu
stead of at times perishing for want of
a market.
Cold storage equalizes prices by
preventing either a glut with its ruin¬
ously low prices or a dearth with its
ruinously high prices—for one is
about as bad as the other. Cold stor¬
age has steppe 1 in like a beneficent
fairy and balanced supplies.
But there is one thing which even
her fairy wand has failed to accom¬
plish. Cold storage can be at the
least only a temporary resort. It is
not desirable for any length of time.
Eggs so preserved become shrunken
and evaporated, butter will not keep
unless quite dry, and even then loses
its delicate aroma, and meat, which
has of all so far most successfully
withstood the process, does not retain
its finest flavor.
But fruits are the hardest of all to
preserve. Some kinds of apples and
pears will keep quite well in cold stor¬
age. Others deteriorate rapidly,
while peaches lose their flavor at once
and become worthless. All of which
goes to prove that the cold storage
business has its limi%. and cannot
quite accomplish all that is ignorantly
claimed for it.—New York World.
Science Attacking Croup.
The new cures of diphtheria and
croup are occupying more and more
of the attention oLphjsiciaus both in
this country and in Europe. The
most recent reports of Dr. Roux, of
^res jffie Pasteur of Institute in of Paris, diphtheri show
flJl^hejise numerous cases i
m subcutaneous injections
of the antitoxine now used in destroy¬
ing the microbes of the disease that
has meant certain death for most chil¬
dren attacked by it. Croup also suc¬
cumbs to this treatment; but all who

warned anew by the latter students of
the disease that its earliest symptoms,
even in apparently healthy infants,
are not to be disregarded. As yet the
potent remedy for croup is not very
accessible, for it is costly and slow of
preparation. But modern research
offers no more interesting field than
this where the tremendous mortality
of infants is met by the new applica¬
tion of the forces of scientific medi¬
cine, which prophesies now the saving
of the lives of thousands of little ones
whom physicians also have looked
upon as foredoomed to death.—Bos¬

Antiquity ol Golf.
Golf, which is played now exten¬
sively in this country, was a fashion¬
able game among the nobility at thi
beginning of the seventeenth century.
It was prohibited at an earlier date
(1-457) by James II. of Scotland, as it
interfered, with archery, which the
King encouraged, that his men might
vie the better with the English b o te¬
rn en. It was also prohibited by
James IV. Charles I. of England was
fond of golf, and was playing when
the news of the Irish rebellion reached
him. In the reign of Edward III. golf
was known under the name of “cam
buca,” a late Latin word, and to-day
“cammack” in Scotland is the name of
a game played with a hockey stick.
The Irish and Gaelic for a golf club is
“camau.” As for “caddie,” the golf
player’s attendant, the word cornes
from the French “cadet,” the younger
son or brother, the phonetic "form ol
which, “eadee,” was used in England
(1639-1789) to define “a gentleman
who entered the army without- a com
mission to learn the military profes¬
sion and find a career for himself.”—
Boston Journal.
Some Men Are Curious.
The Dutchess of Westminster put
into hei guest chamber a curious Swiss
clock, to which was att ached a printed
notice: “Please do not touch?” When
M. Joly, the Canadian Liberal, visited
her grace he ventared to inquire the
reason for the prohibition: “You are
the twentieth man who has asked that
question,” replied the Duchess glee
fully.
“Women, you know, are supposed
to be proverbially curious, and I put
that placard on the clock to test the
same weakness in men, and I am happy
to sav I find them not a whit less curi- all
cus than women. I keep a list of
the gentlemen who have asked me the
question jou have just put, and there
has been only one exception among all
my guests who have occupied the
room, that was Mr. Fawcett, the late
Postmaster General, and be, poor
&au, was blind.' ^N*w,rk Advwti*er,

NOT IN FAVOR.
The Agricultural Department is Op¬
posed to Roddey’s Plan.
The officials of the agricultural de¬
partment at Washington do not look
with favor upon the Roddey plan,
adopted at Atlanta, Ga., for the pur¬
pose of restricting the output of cotton
and thereby increasing the value of
that staple to producers. In the sec¬
retary’s report last year a strong plea
was made for a reduction in the acre¬
age and it is understood that the sec¬
retary will renew that appeal in his
forthcoming report.
The building up of an enormous
reserve of cotton, such as would result
from the setting aside of one bale in
every live gathered,would, the officials
say, be a most powerful agency for the
“bears,” who are constantly seeking
to pull down the price of cotton, aud
the result would be the same as that
growing out of the constantly over¬
estimated invisible supply of wheat.
Those who have studied the question
assert that the knowledge of the fact
that this reserve supply of cotton was
in existence would tend to keep the
price down. The whole plan is, they
believe, based upon a false premise.
The only remedy the cotton grower
has. is, they sav, tp be found in the
diminution of the acreage of cotton,
and the cultivation of other crops to
alternate with cotton. By this meaus
only can the cotton crop be reduced
And the value increased.
AFTER FITZSIMMONS.
An Effort Will be Made to Prosecute
Him for Murder.
A Syracuse, N. Y., dispatch says:
District Attorney Benjamin J. Shove,
who is in Cleveland, has telegraphed
his assistants to use every, effort to se¬
cure evidence against Bob Fitzsim¬
mons on the charge of causing the
death of “Con” Kiordan. One of the
physicians who was present at the au¬
topsy on Itiordan says that instead of
only one blood clot on the brain three
were formed in different parts, any one
of which would have caused death.
