From all accounts (printed and grape vine dispatches) the city of Washington was filled to overflowing during the first week in March, to see the Demo cratic plum tree vigorously shaken, and the plums go plentiful that every office seeker had only to hold out his hat to be supplied. But it seems that the plum tree did- not shake, or the plums were so scarce that many of the appli cants came home with lengthened faces and with hope deferred to some exas perating future time. There is no ques tion but there is a crop of plums (pro vided the other fellow has resigned), but what sort of a business is this which has caused such painful anxiety long drawn out? President Wilson knows a whole lot more about the presidency than I do, but I know enough to say that office seekers make by long odds the most ha rassing part of the business. If he un dertakes to listen he is worn to a fraz zle, and if he don’t listen he will, be cussed and discussed until his successor is inaugurated. He will be d—d if he does, and he will be d—d if he'don’t. For every one he appoints there will be a dozen .with a grouch, and should he shift the selection to congressmen and representatives he will find the muddle greats and the abuse co-extensive with his authority, with an avalanche of pe titions on him from “dawn till dark.” The old darky said, “Blessed am he what specks nuthin’,” and if non-ex pectancy constitutes blessedness, this ancient scribe should feel supremely content. I have seen people who were so angry and harassed by failure to get appointments of this kind until they they were nearly crazy. THE SUICIDE GEEM. Those who are familiar with the city of Macon’s history for the last decade can not fail to be greatly surprised that so many self-murderers 'have been res idents of that notable Georgia town. Perhaps you may know more about it, than I do, but unless there is a suicide germ around in that locality, I am en tirely mystified. Two self-murderers during the present week. One of them apparently had no motive whatever; yet he blew his brains out, after reading of the ffirst tragedy. The young woman who was the victim of her ^suitor’s in sane infatuation, is very much to be pjtied but not more than* the loving mother who plead with the girl to keep away from such companions, and who failed in her piteous endeavor to protect her child. It has reached h. ^lace where failing to marry is as serious as a wild plunge into matrimony. Something should^be done and that right early about the pis tol toters. Pistols are entireyl too much in evidence, and if there were morfi le gal restrictions on this pistol carrying habit, there would be fewer homicides— if suicide can not be abated in a tangi ble way. Human life is the cheapest commodity in this land of ours. We are not surprised to see these dreadful events, in every day’s newspaper. It is the very usual occurrence—and the day’s news is very tame, unless some man kills his sweetheart or his wife, or some woman does not take the law in her hands in the same way. And alas! The innocent suffer with the guilty! It may become necessary to search a fellow who goes a courting, before he enters the girl’s home or board ing place, to find concealed weapons; and a divorced woman must be on her guard night and day, to keep her worth less husband from assassinating her. •What sort of civilization do you call this? THE LATE CYCLONE IN GEORGIA. The heat that preceded the late storm, made me vacate Florida in a hurry. The atmosphere was so close and mug gy, that I concluded that a person as old as myself and who was without a traveling companion w r ould do extreme ly well, to get home and wait awhile for another jaunt in the land of Florida. The Dixie Flyer was booked to start on time from Jacksonville. I found I had 30 minutes to reach it, that night, paid my hotel bill, rlushed to the depot, bulged into the closely packed crowd, bought my railroad ticket at one place, my Pullman at another place, wedged my way to the waiting train; got inside; took a seat after a hunt through two sleepers for my berth, and discovered I had ten minutes to spare! I know but few men who could have rushed that business in quicker time but I was delighted to know I could do it. That night the torrential rain broke on us at Tifton. When I got to Atlanta I decided to wait for the. evening train to Carter-sville. Then the cyclone wave struck Clarkston, Tucker and vicinity, before I could get further. When I reached home the cyclone had also swept parts of Gordon and Floyd counties, twenty odd miles north of me. They are still finding dead bodies .up in this latter region. When I saw how mercifully the good Lord had led me along, and not a hair on my gray head had been harmed, I said, ‘Bless the Lord, Oh My Soul.’" “And forget not all his benefits.” I have just read that the same Dixie Flyr er, a few nights later, on the identical same route, starting at the same time, has plunged down an embankment, and .hurt people were pulldd out of the sleep ers, after the water was running inside. I’ll write again on that cyclone. COLLEGE WOMEN GATHER IN CHICAGO (By Associated Press.)

HUNTER WATCH CO., Dept. 3, CHICAGO, ILL/ WOMEN THE WORLD OVER “GLIMPSES INTO THE ABYSS.” BY VIDA SUTTON Three years ago Mrs. Mary Higgs disguised herself as a tramp. She spent her days and nights with the great body of homeless workers, flower girls, charwomen, apprentices, who earn just a few pence a day, and at night drift in and out of the filthy, vicious, com mon lodging houses, the only place where so i*oor as they are can pay for a spot to rest. What she learned beggars fiction. The revelations in her book, “Glimpses Into the Abyss” are so startling that one wonders how nations, boasting, of Chris tianity, can tolerate such conditions for another day. Compared with the lives of some of this class of women and girls the homeless dogs of Constanti nople have a more comfortable time. The records she made are a striking and terrible indictment of conditions, a tale of gloom and squalor, of useless waste and stupid hardship. Its effect on the public has b'-en electrical. A National Association for Women’s Lodging Homes sprang Into being, with the Duchess of Marlborough, wildly known for her social labors, as presi dent. Twenty-tfour lodging homes have been built in various parts of the king dom in the last three years by its ef forts. In London there is a movement to in terest the municipal authorities and have them build the houses. ' The Lon don county council has already gone largely into the matter of housing. One of the sights of London is its homes for workingmen and their families in Shoreditch, beautiful as well as useful. They occupy a once notorious area, not far from Curtain Road, where Shake speare’s plays were first played, and are built in a double circle, with a park in the center, school gardens and shops dividing the circle. The Bruce House for Workingmen is another of the council’s prides. It cost $300,000. It is one of the three such places for men built by the city. Another, the Rowton, accommodates 5,000 men. But although women need such places even more than men, and the moral welfare of communities would be so aided by them, the council has as yet done nothing but bless the efforts of others. The first hotel for working women in London, opened a month ago in the dis trict known as th e Elepehant and Cas tle, is a private charity. It was built by a fund left by Mrs. Ada Lewes. It is an imposing structure with accommoda tions for 300 women. All the conven iences of modern times and the com fort of beautiful surroundings are avail able at 12c a night. This, however, puts it beyond the reach of some who most need it. The association has in mind a great number of small hotels at a very low fee, 3d. or 4d. a night, to be accessible to workers in every poor district. The latest proposal is for an Inter national fund to open lodging homes for women in memory of Mr. Stead, the great friend and benefactor of women. Wesleyan, Andrew and LaGrange Colleges Form Great University School (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) CUTHBERT, Ga., March 22—Dr. J. W. Malone, president of Andrew col lege, has just returned from Macon, where the boards of trustees of Andrew and Wesleyan unanimously agreed to combine these institutions with La- Grange college, forming a system of girls’ colleges such as the south has not had before. Under the plan of coalition, which is to go into effect next fall, Andrew is to remain under her present management and is to do work of the same grade she is now doing. In addition, she is to stress normal training and work in home economics. In this, her position will be unique, since no church * school in the south is now doii^g this Work, it being left en tirely to the state. The work in the lower classes is to be so correlated with that of Wesleyan that the latter institution will give full credit for all that has been done at An drew. The three institutions will, have the united backing of the Methodists of Georgia and Florida and will exert an influence considerably greater than that of any single woman’s college in the south. The system will represent re sources of about $1,000,000. Working together, competition will be eliminated, waste cut down and greater efficiency promoted. It is generally re garded in Cuthbert as the greatest step in the histoiry of. Andrew college, if not in the histqry of Georgia education. MEXICAN GOVERNOR TENDERS RESIGNATION (By Associated Press.) MONTEREY, Mexico, March 21.— General Geronimo Trevino today re signed th e governorship of Neuvo Leon. He gave no explanation for his action. Th e legislature wil lact upon his resignation Monday. General Trevino’s loyalty to the con stituted government of Mexico has never been doubted. In the absence of other reasons his resignation is taken as indicating merely lack of sympa thy with Provisional President Hu erta. Monterey’s safety from rebel attack has been assured by the arrival of federals from Saltillo. WIFE ALSO CONVICTED OF HUSBAND’S DEATH MOBILE, Ala., March 22.—Mrs. The resa Virginia Wasserleban will join her mother, Mrs. Mary T. Godau, in the state penitentiary at Wetumpka, unless the supreme court rules otherwise. She was convicted Friday evening of the murder of her husband, Fred Wasserle- ben, a Mobile policeman, December 31, 1911. The state argued that Mrs. Wasserle- ben had insured her husband’s life for $7,000. She confessed on the day of the killing, according to Wesley T. Laefield, who testified she confided in him to having hidden her husband’s colthing under the house. Sentence was for life. PLAN CANAL TO LINK INDIAN AND ST. JOHNS JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 21.-A bill to connect the St. Johns and Indian rivers by a canal, thus giving the river tiowns from here to near Miami water transportation, will be offered in the ses sion of the legislature that meets next month. This would open up many miles of ter ritory and make cheap transportation for the citrus and vegetable.farmers lowering the cost of fruits and vegetables to a marked degree. A lock canal is planned. Surveys have been made and engineers say the scheme is worthy and of great value. PLEASE, MR. BURBANK, GIVE US ROUND POTATOES (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, March 21.—Unless some of the wizards who are improving upon nature can turn out a spherical potato the navy must find a better po tato peeling machine than the electric device now in use. Today the depart ment sent out an appeal to inventors to submit a device that will economically pare potatoes of irregular form. The official statement declares that “it seems that the present machines do a most ef fective and acceptable job on a perfect ly round potato, but when the ‘Murphy’ arrived long and slender or sawed off and hammered down the trouble begins.” PRESIDENT OF HONDURAS CALLED TO GREAT BEYOND (By Associated Press.) TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, March 22. —News of the death of General Manuel Bonilla, president of Honduras, yester day, and the transfer of the executive powers to Vice President Dr. Francisco Bertrand, has been received quietly throughout the republic. Lifesaver Swims Through Icy Sea With Line to Ship GRIMSBY, England, March 22.—The French bark Marie, from San Francisco for Hull, at the end of her long voyage today met with disaster and destruction here. Her captain and crew of twenty- four men were saved by the trawler Amer. The Marie went ashore before day break on Haisborough sands, in the North sea, during a blizzard. It was quickly pounded to pieces by terrific seas. The crew was in a desperate plight and having lost hope when the Amer came alongside. The captain and mate of the Marie refused to leave their ship until every man had been saved. The Amer’s life boat was too much battered by the waves to return for them, and the steward ,of the French boat dived from the Amer with a life line and swam to the wreck. He and the captain and mate were ultimately dragged through the sea to the rescuing vessel.

A. Candler Men celebrate on th^Ir national an niversaries the birthdays of nations; but on Easter we celebrate the birth day of the Christian commonwealth over which the Risen Jesus reigns. Boileau said that the Churcn of Christ is a great thought which every man ought to consider; but it is more than a mer thought, it is a great fact which every man ought to accoun.t ’for. It has been, and is, too Important an institution to permit us to be indiffer ent to its rise and history. And neith er its origin, nor its continued life, can be reasonably explained if the fact of the resurrection of Christ be denied. It is now universally admitted that in the days of Tiberius Caesar there lived, and laboured, and died in Pales tine a man named Jesus of Nazareth; to use the words of the creed that he “suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried.” Secular historians as well as the sacred writ ers, record these 'facts. It is equally assured that in a few brief weeks aft- or his crucifixion His followers pro claimed that He had risen from the dead, and that, as the result of their preaching of this fact, the institution which we call the Christian church sprang into being. If the apostles had not believed that He had risen, if they had been burdened with the load of Iiis bruised and dead body, they could ‘never have gotten out of Jerusalem with their new and startling gospfel. The churches which they founded in every part of the widely; extended Roman empire, and the literature which arose from the letters which they wrote to those churches and the histories which they composed for those churches, all owe their existence to their belief that Jesus truly rose 'from the dead. Within three hundred years after the crucifixion of Christ, Constantine accepted the faith of the apostles and sought admission into the Christian church. And now look where we will, we see that wherever the Christian church ex ists in greatest purity and power there is found all that is best and most hopeful in human civilization. When ever we see Christianity is not, there we see national inferiority and stagna tion. The sustained progress of Chris tian nations is in sharp and significant contrast with the decadencq and dead- ness of all others. When this faith first appeared among men, decay had begun to fall upon all the fiations then existing, and all progress was despaired of. In that awful crisis of human history neither Jewish religion, Gre cian art, nor Roman law, nor all com bined were able to arrest the deepen ing darkness and destructive corrup tion which were spreading over all the known world. It seemed as if the flood of evil which overflowed that dis tressed and despairing era must con tinue to sweep on pitilessly over all the centuries that were to come. “On that hard Pagan world, disgust And seoret loathing fell. Deep weariness, and sated lust, Made human life a hell.” But with the dawning of Christianity and the birth of the Christian church an epoch of hope and progress began, and the forces which made the new era then are operating yet with ever increasing power and widening blessing. The monopoly of sustained progress held by the Christian nations is the most re markable feature of modern history. Out of the disorder and debris of the ancient world has risen, through the influence of Christianity and the activities of the Christian Church, the solid struc ture of modern society in which are found the riches and glory and honour of the most advanced and advancing na tions. It is the simple fact that today every Christian nation is rising in ma terial and moral good; and that no non- christian nation is advancing except by contact with Christian nations and through their stimulating influence. It is not too much to say that Christianity has rescued the human race from the anarchy and ruin into which it was fall ing at the beginning of the Christian era, and that this religion is still the hope of mankind. No intelligent and informed man can fail to perceive that if Christianity were effaced today the beams of the hope of all nations would be quenched In ray less and hopeless gloom. Yet it is in disputably true that if the men of the first century had not believed that Christ was risen from the dead, Chris tianity would have perished at its birth, if indeed it could have been born at all. It is equally true that if those who proclaim it today did not believe that Christ is risen and holds in his hands all power in heaven and in earth, Christianity and the Christian Church would soon disappear from the earth. If, therefore, Christ has not risen, the greatest delusion ever known has saved the world in the past and is safeguard ing the highest good of mankind today. A recent English writer has put the case strongly in these words: “In the days of Christ, the ap parently hopeless world was sink ing helplessly into social chaos. Gradually out of the chaos a new type of life arose, which has at last nearly overspread the earth. The nations which have received it stand today in the front rank. And to these the most hopeful of other nations are looking for help. Even in the social life of our own coun try we see the moral influences of Christianity. If these influences were removed, there would be in modern life a void which nothing could fill. All these results have flowed from the preaching of men who, but for the courage inspired by the belief that their Master had • risen from the dead, would never have dared to preach, or certainly' would not have devoted their lives to the unwearied proclamation of . the Gospel. ... “Now if Christ did not actually rise, this belief was a delusion. And it is the most astonishing delu sion that ever darkened the erring mind of man. . . . That delu sion has saved th e world. If this be so, we owe to delusion and to error a debt greater than we can conceive. “A plaintive alternative is now before us. If Christ did not rise, in a manner revealing the presence of a power greater than the known forces of the material world and thus proving the justness of his stupendous claims, a delusion has turned back the entire current of human history and saved the world. If so, in the greatest crisis in the world’s history, delusion has been better than knowledge and error Ifetter than truth. If we accept this supposition, we ma38 well be par doned if we prefer delusion to knowledge, error to truth. “Note now the logical conse quence of the only alternative open to those who deny or doubt that Christ rose from the dead; In all * ages men have sought knowledge, and some have made it, tinder diffi culties the chief aim of their lives, in a belief that to know the truth is for man’s highest interest, and that the truth is able to repay any price at which it may be pur chased. The Majesty of Truth is now dethroned. For we have seen that it may be either a gain or pos sibly an infinite loss. The uncer tainty makes knowledge unworthy of serious effort, especially of pro longed and difficult and costly ef fort. Thus in the closed grave of Christ is buried, not only the * world’s hope, but the chief stimulus for intelligent research.” Wherefore in Easter we celebrate the birth-day of the world’s hope, and oft every Sabbath we observe a day that witnesses, as does nothing else, to the blessed fact that Jesus has risen from the dqad. It is well-known that in the first ages of the Church, a frequent salutation of Christians to one anoth er, when they met, was “Christ is Risen indeed"; and now the sweet and wor shipful voice of the Christian Sabbath sounds forth these glad words through out the whole world for the cheering of the desponding and the comfort of the grief-stricken children of men. Sometimes one is tempted to fear that in our money-loving and pleasure-seek ing day there are men who would dig up the bones of their ancestors and 1 make buttons of them, if they had "a profitable market for buttons made of such sacred relics; or would use the skulls of their deceased parents to amus© themselves with in idle hours, if that were the fashion. Certainly there are those who are ready to over turn the foundations of our Christian civilization for the carnal gratifica tions of a day, or sell the Sabbath for the gate-receipts of a show, or dese crate the sacred day for the rents de rived from property occupied by show men. CMoudandd Have Been Restored to Health By Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. There is no doubt about this fact. Why! during the last 30 years we have published in the newspapers of this country volumes of letters from women who have been re lieved of all their suffering by the timely aid of this grand old medicine. Letters like the following, true, genuine and honest expressions of gratitude coming from grateful hearts. Surely you can believe these women. Mrs. L. S. BRENNER, Hudson, Mich., says: — “ Sometime ago I was taken with a terrible pain in my right side, such sharp pains just like a knife sticking me. I tried hot applications but that did no good. I went to our family doctor (we were living in Fayette, Ohio, at that time) and he said it was organic inflammation. I doctored with him a while but kept getting worse. The pain was so terrible I could hardly stand on my feet. I would have that sharp pain in my right side, and a dull heavy pain the whole length of my limb. I realized that something had to be done quickly, so I looked up all of your advertisements I could find, and saw several that described my case. I got a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and it helped me from the first dose, and when I had taken two bottles my trouble was gone. Your medicine has done so much for me that X am willing you should publish this letter for the sake of other suffering women.”—Mrs. L. S. Brenner, Hudson, Michigan. Mrs. L. E. BOWERS, Girard, Pa., says: — “ I take pleasure in informing you of what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done for-me. I had a sick spell last February, and for some months after that I was not regular and had many bad feelings. I was tired all the time, had dull headaches, not much appetite, and also what the doctor called organic inflammation. Your Vegetable Compound has entirely cured me and I feel that too much cannot be said in its praise as I am now able to do my own work. You are perfectly welcome to use my testimonial for the benefit of others.”—MrS. L. E. Bowers, B.F.D. No. 1, Girard, Pa. Mrs. ELIZABETH GENTILCORE, Buffalo, N.Y.,says: — “ I feel that I must write to you about your wonderful remedies. About ten years ago I was troubled with female weakness and was all run down. I was tired all the time and could hardly walk without feeling dizzy. I heard about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, took it, and also used the Sanative Wash. I got stronger, and have not had those dizzy spells since. I feel that I owe my health to you, and hope your remedies will help others as they ha ve me. I tried most everything I heard of, and yours are the best medicines for women’s ailments.”—Mrs. Elizabeth Geh- telcore, 28 Glor Street, Buffalo, New York. For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for fe male ills. No one sick with woman’s ailments does justice to herself if she does not try this fa mous medicine made from roots and herbs, it has restored somany sufferingwomen to health. Write to LYDIA E.PINKHAM MEDICINE CO. il^T (CONFIDENTIAL) LYNN, MASS., for advice. Your letter will be opened, read and answered by a woman and held in strict confidence. i ' Jf 1
