As the outcome of the Whitney murder
last Sunday, a strong effort is being made
to enforce upon the street railway corn
tony of Augusta, the separation of the
races on Us cars. Sir. Tracy X. Hickman,
intendani of Summerville, has published
on appeal to the public to stand by him
and compel the street railroad company
to take the desired action. The matter
was also discussed by the City Council
in called session, but so far nothing has
been done.
Capitalists from Philadelphia are now In
the lower part of Itiehnxnd court/ In
specting what is now known as the lignite
mine, on lands owned by Mr. Silas C. Kea 1
and his sister, Mrs. 1.. J. Putnam, with a
view to operating them if deemed practi
cable. These mines are immense deposits
of what is now eal'ed lignite, near the
surface of the ground. They are local el
in the corner of Richmond county, a few
miles from Orovetown, and for t. n yiaus
no attention has been paid to them.
Mnyor Smith of Macon, lias a plnn for
systematically planting trees in Macon.
Hia idea is to set aside one day in each
November lo plant trees in the parks
that adorn the middle of the streets. The
city will furnish a east-iron box to pro
tect the base of each of the trees. In
the box will be east the name of the per
son and the date of planting the tree.
Each person who pays 25 cents for a tree
will have the right to furnish the name
to be east in one box. As many as a
dozen names may be furnished in tn same
way at one time by any person. The
names used in the boxes may be those of
either living or deponed friends.
The Fruit Growers’ Association of Geor
gia will meet in Macon on May 21, and it Is
expected that a large number of th ■ fruit
men will be present. The me ling will be
one of unusual interest to the fru t men all
over the state aince they are to be m-; at
that time by representatives of th° rail
roads and a reply' to their request for low -
er rates will be forthcoming. The rail
roads have hod the matter of lower rites
under consideration since a committee
from the association met the railroad men
at Hot Springs. Va., two weeks ago. The
matter of freights will be a vast c n-ide *
ation with the fruit men this year, as there
Is almost certain to be the largest ciop
ever raised in the state.
Mr. Cash Toole was drowned in FlinJ
river at Balnbridge Thursday afternoon
He was bathing in the river with several
companions and all deeidecj' to swim
t cross. He left his companions and drift
d further down, the stream alone. With
out giving an alarm to his companions
they saw him sink the first time exhaust
ed. They attempted to reach him, but
he went down the last time about ten
feet from land before they could render
assistance. An alarm soon spread and
a large crowd of citizens are working to
rescue the body. Mr. Toole was a brother
of Dr. John E. Toole and Prof. G. 11.
Toole, all prominent people of Bainbridge.
The family came from South Carolina a

A difficulty that may prove a tragedy
occurred at the mints of the Consolidated
Gold Mining Company at Dahlonega Mon
day' evening. A controversy over orders
concerning tfee disposition of an ore ear
arose between Drew Anderson; a young
white man of this place, and Arthur
Lighter, a negro employe of the comfianv.
The negro, it Is sain, cursed Anderson
and as the latter stooped to pick up a
stone, the negro struck him near the
temple with a shovel. The negro fled but
a determined posse collected anti scoured
toe woods In every direction and he was
finally captured by J. C. Jones and A.
S. Vandiver, near Auraria, about six
miles froth here. He is now safely lodged
in jail. Young Anderson's s’tpH is frac
tured near the temple and n j s condition
is regarded as c.'-to ts.
A writer in the Albany Herald offers this
suggestion to the tvaiermelon growers: In
view of the fact that the acreage planted
in melons Is not more than one-third ct
what it was last year, it seems to me thnl
the growers now have It in their power lo
get good prices for their crops. The com
mission houses In all the large cities are
already writing growers seeking consign
ments of melons and painting rosy pc
tures of the advantage of shipping to th in
on consignment. There is only one thing
necessary for the growers to do now In or
der to assure themselves of good prices
and ready sales for all of their m-lons.
Let every grower resolve, and stiek to It,
not to consign a single car, and let eat*
one of them so write each commission mer
chant that writes him. If they will do
this there will J>e plenty of buyers here to
buy every ear as fast as It Is loaded, and
at good prices.
An interesting incident in connection
with Tuesday’s primary was the nomina
tion in Bartow eourty of Dr. Baker, who
defeated W. H. Lumpkin for the Senate by
a handsome majority. The Interesting
point in this contest is that Dr. Baker is
a stralghtout anti-prohibltlonlst, and his
opponent favors the exclusion of the sale
of liquor in this sote. It Is well known
that Bartow county Is regarded as one of
the strongest prohibition counties In the
state, and is the home of Snrr> Joms and
Dr. Felton, two of the prominent leaders In
the question of state prohibition in Geor
gia. It is presumed that both of them op
posed Dr. Baker in his election, and par
ticularly is this so In the case of Dr. Fel
ton, who upon many occasions has publi ly
denounced Dr. Baker in the strongest
terms. Dr. Baker for some time has been
affiliating wdth the Populists, but he did
not subscribe to the planit in the platform
of the party favoring prohibition.

Quite a commotion was created at Ocala
Thursday when it was announced that
Julian Robinson, who s-friously shot and
wounded Dr. Blitch and killed Walls, sev
eral weeks ago, and has since been con
fined In the county jail, had been acting
unusually strange and flighty, and had
been accused of taking deadly drugs sup
plied by his sister, Mrs. Hodge, who has
been sending him meals since his incarcer
ation. He acked like a man, and
when he was accused of taking morphine
he strenuously denied It. Monday Robin
son had a severe fit in his cell. He fell
prone upon the floor and remained in a
stupor until Tuesday, and since then has
acted strangely. When he denied taking
drugs, and the jailor insisted in knowing
the cause of his strange action, he said
he had driven a six-penny nail through the
top of his skull by the aid of a brickbat;
also, that the nail not having the desired
effect, he had taken a piece cf twisted
wire out of his spring bed and Inserted
it into the hole made by the nail. In con
firmation of this statement he produced
the articles named, and the hole in the
head attested the same. Dr. Newsom, to
satisfy himself of these facts, had him
brought to the hospital, and with the as
sistance of Dr. Izlar and Smith, they took
a button out of his skull and then the
blood clots were visible. His stepson, Dr.
John D. Davis of Dunnellon, called to see
him when he told the story of his trou
bles. Robinson has been insisting there
was a small lump in hi& head which trou
bled him greatly; it produced a pressure
that was very painful to him. and he ask
ed that tho doctor remove it, because it
drove to the ac-is mentioned, for relief.
Deputy Will Ducius stood guard over him
at the hospital and he is resting easy.

WIFE AND SERVANT"
Adopt a Change In Diet.
A minister gives his experience with
coffee drinking and its effect on his
health, but requests that if his name be
used his residence be omitted, and only
furnished in reply to inquiries that may
be addressed to the Postum Cereal Cos..
Ltd., at Battle Creek, Mich.
He says he had catarrh of the stomach
and dyspepsia, caused by drinking coffee.
By advice of the physician, he left off
coffee for a few years and drank hot
water. “In visiting one of the homes of
my congregation about a year and n half
ago. I was introduced to Postum Food
Coffee, the lady of the house saying that
tea and coffee had very badly affected a
daughter und that since she had quit
them both and used Postum Food Coffee
she was very much improved in health.
“I tried a cup of it and found no had
effects following. On my return home I
got a package and enjoyed Its use very
much better than either tea or coffee, it
having none of the harsh taste of those
beverages. I look to using Postum both
morning and night and found it benefited
me in a most marked way.
"Our children enjqy U and keep
henlthy and well. My wife and the ser
vant have both stopped the use of coffee
and enjoy Postum better than the former.
As you will observe, the entire family
have been improved in health by making
ihe change.” The minister's name is
Rev. David T. Robertson.
Postum Food Colfee has a well defined
work In rebuilding the nervous system
that has been broken down by the use of
cofTee. This is particularly noticeable in
highly organized individuals. The Poet
urn is made from pure grains, and se
lected parts that contain phosphate of
potash are used.
The delicate particles thus oh allied from
nature are known by chemists to unite
with the albumen of food, from which
the gray matter that fills the brain and
nerve centers is made. There is a true
and scientific reason why Postum Food
CofTee tsrengthens the user, both men
tally and physically, and these facts can
tie proven in any case whore a trial ten
day or two weeks will be given.

SPEECH RESTORED DV PRAYER.
Story of a Tramp Who Found a
Fiona Family Easy to Work.
From the Minneapolis Tribune.
“One morning about eight years ago I
arrived in a small tomn in the Mohawk
valley in company with a tramp called In
dianapolis Red,” said an old road agent
to a Tribune reporter. "We had ridden all
night in a box car in the hope of reaching
New York by morning, but the freight had
been delayed on account of n wreck, and
we were so hungry when we reached the
town in question that we simply had to
get off and look for something to eat. It
was not a place, as we well knew, wher?
tramps were welcome, but the train wouli
not stop again at a town of any size until
long after breakfast.and we decided to take
our chances. We had an hour at our dis
posal until the next freight was due. The
great question was, what story should we
tell, and we both rummaged through our
collections to find a good one. Finally, aft
er each of u had suggested a number of
different stories and had refused them in
turn on the ground that they were too old
for such a hostile place, Red suggested
that we try 'the deaf 'n' dum’ gag.’ There
are several gags of this description, and I
asked him which one he meant.
'Let's work it In this way,’ he b-’gttn
to Improvise. ‘l’m your deet ’n’ dum’
brother, see? An' we’re on our way to
New York, where I am going to get a Job.
I'm a clerk and you're seein' me down to
the city so'e’t nothin' ’ll happen to me.
Our money's given out, an' we’ve simply
got to ask fer assistance. We're teriibly
hungry, an’ you want to know if the lady
of the house will be god enough to lie p
yer brother along. Bee?”
"I saw right enough and accepted lha
proposition, but the odds seemed against
us because the town was one of the most
unfriendly along the line. We picked out a
house near the track. Asa rule, such
houses heve been begged out, but we leis
oned that If our story would go at all it
would go there, and besides the house was
convenient for catching the next freight
train. As we approached the back dior
I was careful to talk to Rtd on my fin
gers, thinking somebody might be watch
ing us. A motherly old lady answered our
knock. I told Red's story In my best
manner, filling It out with convincing de
tails. She heard ine out and then scruti
nized Red In the way that we all look at
creatures who are peculiar or abnormal.
Then she smiled and invited us into the
dining-room, where the rest of the ramlly
were at breakfast. It turned out to tea
A-’ree Methodist clergyman's household.
We had places at the table and me ns
rapidly as we could, or rather Red did; I
was continually being Interrupted by the
family asking me questions about my un
fortunate brother.
'• ‘Was he born that way?’ they asked
in hushed voices. ‘How did he learn to
write?’ ‘Can he ever get well?’ and orher
like questions, which I had to answer in
turn. By the time I had finished my
meal, however, J saw by the clock cn
the wall <hnt we had fifteen minutes to
catch our train) and gave Red a nudge
under the as a hint that we ought
to be going. We were about to get up
and thank our lioness for her kindness,
when the man of the houf?e, <he clergy
man. suggested that we ought to stay
to family prayers.
** ‘Glad to have you,’ he said, ‘if you
can remain. You may get good out of if.
I told him frankly that we wanted to
catch a nnd had only a few minutes
to spare, but he assured me that he would
not be long and asked me to explain the
situation lo Red. I did so with my fingers
and J explained to the parson that Red's
wiggling meant that he would be
delighted to stay, but a wink of his left
eye meant for me alone said plainly
enough to let the. prayers go.
“We stood commhted, however, and
there was nothing to do but join the fam
ily in the sitting room, where I received a
Bible from which to read two verses, one
for Red and one for/ myself. This part of
the progress finished, the parson began to
pray. All went well untii he came to
that part of his prayer where he referred
to the ‘unfortunate brother in our midst’
and asked that Red’s speech and hearing
be restored and we were both ashamed.
“Just then Red heard (he whistle of our
freight. He forgot everything, all that I
had said and all that he had tried to act
out, and with a wild whoop he sprang to
the dooi\ shouting back to me as he went
out:
“ ‘Hustle, Cigaret, fhere’6 our rattler.’
“There was nothing to do but follow
after him as fast as my legs would carry
me, and I did so in my liveliest manner.
I have never been in the town since this
experience, and it is <o be hoped that the
pardon’s family have forgiven and for
gotten both Red and me.”
AGES OF ANIMALS.
The Wliale Supposed to Live to Re
Five Hundred Years Old.
From the Philadelphia Times.
It was the day aftf r the zoo man's birth
d.'.y.
The parrots said something, the zoo
man sprang up and walked down to tha
other end of the corridor. When he was
cut of hearing of the birds he stopped and
locked timidly aroutd.
"That is an ungrateful parrot,” he said.
"Yesterday she beard the visitors repeat
ing a hundred times the query: 'How old
are you?' and in imitating them Miss
Polly got her words badly mixed up and
row she is constantly exclaiming: 'How
old you are! Haw old you are!' It’s well
for her that she is the property of Father
Piit. I know certain old maids in this
i own that would make short work of
Telly if she should dare to address them
in that manner
"Just the same, we are all growing eld,"
continued the zoo man, philosophically re
signing himself to the jibes that were in
nocently thrus' at him by the parrot.
"Hi- study of th > length of the lives of
animals is more interesting. There are
Methuselahs am ng beasts too, but they
are few, for the majority of dumb brutes
die before the age of twenty-five years. A
quarter of a century generally puts a
period to a cow's existence and lraves a
big interrogation point after Ihe horse.
"Two score years closes the life drama
of the dear, the rhinoceros, the wolf and
other well known animals of the woods
and the Jungle. In fifteen years the cur
tain is rung down on the cat and fox. A
pigs chanres are good lor nearly twenty
years if he escapes the butcher, but the
sheep who is not converted into early
mutton scarcely survives ten years. Squir
rels and rabbits are lucky if they live to
celebrate their seventh tbthday anniver
sary.
"These figures in some cases are based
on observations made on (he age of wild
animals in ctapiivlty, but the, estimates are
as close to the facts as It will ever be pos
sible to make them.
"The lion ought to reach man's age of
three score and ten years.
"Among the four-legged centenarians the
best known to us is the tortoise, or land
turtle. These armored knight errants
have been known to live to an age of al
most a century here in Western Pennsyl
vania. When one is found In the country
It is a common custom among the boys to
cut their Initials and date in the reptile’s
shell. Recently a tortoise was found near
Pittsburg with "1838" inscribed on its
back.
"Eagles and ravens likewise are noted
for their longevity. Some say that 100
years is not too great for the average.
Swans, eom# persons maintain, cling to life
for 300 years.
“The last time I ordered a half of roast
duck I was served with something tough
that at once led me to believe that I had
encountered one of these superannuated
swans.
“After the swan the medal is awarded
to the elephant. He lives sometimes to be
400 years old. they say. Just Imagine one
of the big beasts still alive that probably
carried Francis I, Henry VIII and Charles
V around when those monarchs were boy
princes! I've never heard of any. Surely
some circus man is neglecting his oppor
tunity.
"Finally the naturalists have given the
palm to the whale,” continued the speak
er. "Some of the learned gentlemen esti
mate the length of the life of the monarch
of the deep ot 500 years and upwards”
—When the parents of a young man in
Russia decide that a certain yobng lady
would make a suitable mate for him they
say nothing about the matter to any one,
but on some evening they will drop around
unexpectedly to the prospective bride’s
home and will stay for supper. During (
the meal they will keep a close watch on'
the young lady, says the New Orleans
Picayune. If sh eats fast she will per
form her work speedily; if she goes neatly

does not talk much, she will work and

(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
Manila, P. 1., April 6.—Wilh the ap
proach of this year’s hot weather, which
comes to Manila every April, May and
June, the veeeels of the United States
navy have been slipping away to the cool
er ports of China and Japan. It is a
mighty pleasant thing to thus get away
from the Philippines during the heat of
summer, and such a change for three
months will greatly benefit the whole
ship's company. This consideration of the
health of his men was a strong factor
in deciding Admiral Waison to order sev
eral of the ships from this station to
spend the summer between Yokohoma and
Hong Kong.
It is a pity the army cannot get this
change. Persistent work tells on a man
out here and we Americans have not yet
learned the Oriental habits of slowness
in business and naps during the heat of
the day. It is estimated that on an aver
age the American out here does one-half
of the work he would do at home under
the same circumstances and every one
knows it is just twice as hard to accom
plish this half. Army officers can only get
this change to the cooler and even cold
climate of China and Japan by obtaining
sick leave, but it comes to many of our
naval officers as a part of their duties.
During the latter part of April the Ore
gon, the Brooklyn, the Baltimore, the
Newark, the New Orleans and the Con
cord, from the Manila station, and the
Yosemite, from Guam, are to rendezvous
at Yokohama. Admiral Watson will
transfer the command of the Asiatic fleet
to Admiral Remey April 20 and probably
at Hong Kong. Admiral Remey will then
go aboard the Brooklyn and Admiral Wat
son will return to his former flagship, the
Baltimore Then the Baltimore will break
out that long, homeward-bound pennant
and start for American waters. She will
go via the Suez canal, and the navy de
partment has given the Admiral permis
sion to stop at such Mediterranean ports
a* he desires,and he will also probably go
to Havre so that the ship officers may at
tend the Paris Exposition. This trip to
Paris may be made from Marseilles, but If
there is no time the vessel will go around
to the Northern French port.
Eiaminirtion* of Cadet*.
The final examinations of the cladets of
the naval academy class of 1899 will be
held on the Brooklyn this month at Yoko
hama. This is a great disappointment to
the cadets, as it prevents their return
home, and in many cases, will result in
the adding of three years more sea ser
vice in the Philippines to the one or two
years they have already served out here.
The return to Annapolis after the first
two. years at sea following their depart
ure from the academy is always a most
pleasant incident in the lives of our young
naval officers. It is a class re
union in the alma mater after two
A-ears of travel and duty in the ports of
the world. The life at Annaptolis, while
they are preparing for the final examina
tions, has in it an element of freedom and
independence in more or less contrast to
their former days there, and os the ex
aminations themselves are not difficult to
a man who has not wasted his two years’
apprenticeship,, the return to the acad
emy is unattended by any unpleasant fea
tures. but Is replete with many most pleas
ant anil enjoyable ones. It also means a
visit to family and friends. All this is
denied the class of 1899. it being inexpe
dient to return those xvho are in this sta
tion to Annapolis for their finals, and they
w ill begin their three years' cruise follow
ing the final examination without the
chance of getting home.
The Baltimore starts home from Yoko
hama and the Yosemite returns to Guam,
stopping first one week nt Manila. The
rest of the fleet, the Oregon. Brooklyn,
Newark, New Orleans and Concord will
then begin cruise down from. Japan to
China, stopping about ten days at Kobe.
Nagasaki, Shanghai and Hong Kong.
Other ports may lie visited on this cruise,
but they have not yet been announced.
The Baltimore has Just completed the
circumnavigation of Luzon Island, and Is
now on her way to Hong Kong. While
on the Eastern coast of Luzon the Balti
more made o careful survey of Casiguran
sound and bay, which to the navy Is a
locality of considerable present interest
and possible future value. Here our navy
lias discovered, practically, a splendid and
sheltered ha-her where the Spanish charts
gave no indicotlon of such a refuge.
(Trip of the Wheeling,
t summer the Wheeling steamed into
Cqsiguran sound and found at its head
a well-protected and large bay with deep
water. The Wheeling's examination of
this new find was cursory only, as she
had other duties to attend to at the time;
but her reports of Its existence so Inter
ested Admiral Watson that he, later, de
tailed the Charleston to proceed thither
and make a careful survey of the place’.
This the Charleston did, and It was while
the 111-fated vessel was returning from
this trip that she ran on the rocks near
Camaguin Island and was lost. The sur
vey of Casiguran bay, prepared by her
officers, was not saved. So we were still
without details as to Casiguran. Before
soiling for home Admiral Watson wanted
this information, so, about three weeks
ago, the Baltimore was sent around Luzon
with instructions to examine and report
upon the newly discovered 1 harbor. She
found the sound to he about nine miles
long, from Cape Tolofonso, on the sea side,
into the narrow passoge leading to the
inner bay. This sound is from six to two
mifes broad, and has very deep water Us
entire length. Its general direction Is
northwesterly from the coast line. The
passage into the inner bay Is 1,200 yards
wide, with deep water up to the shores.
A ship like the Baltimore could tie up
at the shore and reach land with a gang
plonk. The inner bay is three and two
tenths miles long and two and a half miles
wide. Its general depth Is fifteen fa.hom--
and the anchorage is all that could be de-
A RELIABLE PILE CORE
The Pyramid Pile Cure Is the safest and
surest pile cure on the market, because It
contains no mineral p>olsons nor opium,
nor cocaine, but can be used with abso
lute safety and certainty of cure.
Many physlciane are now using the
Pyramid Pile Cure in place of surgical
operations, being painless, convenient to
use, and the patient can attend to hts
dally occupation while the cure Is being
made, as It Is used at night and no addi
tional treatment Is necessary.
Dr. Wharton says the Pyramid Pile
Cure will prove a blessing to mankind,
when It Is remembered that heretofore a
surgical operation was considered the
only cure with all Us danger to life, In
tense pain and an expense of from ten
to one hundred dollars, to say nothing
of the possible return of the trouble. The
Pyramid Pile Cure costs but fifty cents
at any drug store and doc the work
quickly and safely.

THE CENTRAL STORE,
The corner Broughton and Barnard Sts.
sired. The surrounding hills protect the
vessels anchored in this bay from any
winds that blow, and when one is afloat
upon Us waters the boy has the
appearance of a land-locked lake. And the
the best of the Spanish charts gave not
the slightest intimation that such a Bay
existed. The Spaniards, it is asserted,
were very poor chart-makers. There Is
an island In Llngayen Gulf which is down
in the charts of the Spaniards in a po
sition a mile and a quarter from, its rght
ful place.
Casiguran Bay Examined.
Caeguran bay and Gulf were carefully
examined by officers of the Ballitnore.
For six days they were working from
the boats and the steam launches and
under the hot. tropical sun. It was learn
ed that the West side of the bay showed
a small shoal, and that there is a reef,
visible in the day-time, at the Cape Te
lelfonso, or Northern entrance to the
sound. Otherwise there is deep water
everywhere in bay and Gulf.
The Baltimore held some little commun
ication with tho natives on shore while
Inside the bay. One day a canoe, or raft,
was seen approaching from (he land. It
came along very slowly became the men
who propelled It stoppexl every three
strokes of their paddles to wave a white
flag. When they finally got on board
they begged hard for a garrison to protect
them from the d-prsdatlons of the alleged
bands of Insurgents operating In that vi
cinity. It was explained to them that the
Baltimore was not there to esiabllsh gar
risons and the natives went sadly back
to their village.
Another day a launch from the Balti
more was running down the Southern side
of Casiguran sound, taking the depth of
the water and studying the shore. It had
gotten pretty near the historic town of
Baler when the engines broke down and
boat and crew were at the mercy of the
waves, which broke hard on the rocks to
leeward. Every effort was made to
repair the damage to the machinery and
get under way again before the launcti
should be blown up on the rocks, when
tho crew noticed a large crowd of half
naked natives, armed with bows and ar
rows and bolos, concentrating on that
part of the shore where the wind was
rapidly driving the helpless craft. The
launch had one one-pounder, six rifles and
a Mauser-plstol as armament and as the
savages on shore showed every sign of
expectant hostility these arms were plac
ed In readiness for action. But, when the
little steamer was within a thousand
yards of the beach her machinery was
repaired and she turned and steamed
gaily away from the disappointed men
on shore
Insomuch ns Luzon will undoubtedly be
most valuable as a naval station, and
that good harbors on the Island add ma
terially to Its value In this respect, the
recent discovery und sounding of Casig
uran sound and Gulf is of particular In
terest. Our biggest vessels could enter anl
anchor In this bay without the slightest
dilficutly.
