GEORGIA’S DAY AT JAMESTOWN 'Was a Tremendous Success in Every Feature of Program. ROOSEVELT IS HONORED Was Drawing Card at Many Interesting Functions Which Went Through Without a Hitch. • The Jamestown exposition manage ment has determined to look upon Monday, June 10, the occasion of Pres ident Roosevelt’s second visit as the real opening of the exposition. The president lost no opportunity to voice his approval of tne showing made since the backward opening of the ex position on April 26, and with this high endorsement, the management ieels that it is in position to adver tise an attraction for which apologies need not be made. This was Georgia Day and the opening of Bulloch hall, a replica of the early home of Pres ident Roosevelt’s mother at Roswell, Ga. ( erected as the Georgia state build iDg, was the feature that drew the president to the exposition lor a sec ond visit. From the moment the president, Mrs. Roosevelt and their distinguished guests were landed at the government pier at 10:50 o’clock a. in. until their departure at 4:37 o clock in the after juoou, every minute was occupied. The president spoke in the Georgia ceremonies from the reviewing stand, and during the afternoon addressed the convention of the National Edi torial Association In the exposition au ditorium. On both occasions he was giv en an enthusiastic welcome. He visited the Georgia building, the New York building and the negro exhibit, and In his drives over the grounds thou sands of people lined the streets and gave him a continuous ovation. president Roosevelt admired the at tractive exhibit arranged by negroes and was much interested in a remark uble collection of Abraham Lincoln relics, including a log cabin repre senting the humble birthplace of Lin coln. An interesting feature of the day occurred iu the Georgia state building, where Governor Terrell, on behalf of. his state, presented a silver service, costing SIO,OOO, to the battleship Geor gia, the service being accepted by the officers of the new vessel. The re ception by ‘.he ladies of the Georgia commission in honor of President and Mrs. Roosevelt followed. Admission was by card to Georgians only and to army and navy officers in uniform. Alter this a luncheon was given in the building to the president and his party ami Rear Admiral Evans. The schedule arranged iu advance was followed to the letter and an un usually strenuous day was closed without an unpleasant Incident of note having occurred. The police arrange ments for the hapdling of the great crowd were so excellent as to call forth favorable comment on every aide. The naval review of men-of-wnr in Hampton Roads and the reception of the commanders, of American and for eign vessels which preceded the presi dent’s arrival at the grounds, and the military review on Lee parade, follow ing the president’s forenoon address, were the same as on the opening day, with the exception of some slight dif ference in the personnel of the partic ipants. It was a distinguished party that reviewed the assembled vessels from the Mayflower. Immediately upon the arrival of that vessel the party of Sec retary of the Navy Metcalf was trans ferred from the Dolphin. The others to join the president were Governor Joseph M. Terrell of Georgia and W. N. Mitchell of the Georgia state com mission. Passing over the same course as when he visited the exposition on the opening day, the president reviewed the fleets of seven nations, six in ad dition to the United States. The sea-flghters were in gala attire, the flags of the different countries rep resented malting a striking picture. As the Mayflower steamed flown the long column of vessels, each in turn greet ed the president, who occupied the bridge of his trim yacht, with a salute ef twentynone guns. The foreign vea eels had the positions of honor in a line nearest aud parallel to the expo sition grounds and were reached fir*s>t by the Mayflower, so that their guns were the first to be heard in souudiug their salutations. DISSENTING OPINION Of Commissioner Brown in Connection With Reduction of Passenger Rates in Georgia. Georgia Railroad Commissioner Jo eeph M. Brown has filed his dissenting opinion in the matter of the reduced passenger rates. He has dissented from the majority report in the A and B classes, which placed the Atlanta and West Point and the Western and Atlantic in the 2-cent class and the Coast Line, Charleston and Western Carolina and the Georgia in the 2 1-4- cent class. The length of the opinion precludes its publication in full. It says in part: “Permit me to state here that this commission has never before ordered a sweeping cut of 33 1-2 per cent in the rates previously fixed for either of the two great departments of rail road traffic. “Coming to the case in point, the supreme court says that we cannot fix the rates for intrastate traffic on the basis of the earnings on interstate traffic. Yet, so far as the Western and Atlantic railroad is concerned, the majority of tbia commission is today ordering the reduction of the local passenger rates of the Western and Atlantic railroad from 3 cents per mile to 2 cent3 per mile —a dut of 33 1-3 per cent —and is basing its ac tion upon the fact that the net earn ings of the Western and Atlantic rail road for the year ended June 30, 1906, were $5,097.48 per mile. But from these figures we must deduct the amount of the rental aud of the taxes, both paid to the state. The deduction in cpiestion leaves a net income of $200,054.75, or $1,884.45 per mile, ail amount equal to less than 33 per cent on $8,000,000, and the road is certain ly worth more than that sum.’’ I Continuing his argument Mr. Bt’owrJ says “that the wages of labor aud tlnl prices of everything they have tx> bi*. to operate the road are higher now than at any time since the lease be gan, and that hence the company, to my mind, had an equity against the reduction of the passenger rate be low the figures in effect when they bid for and received the lease. “I cannot concur in the flat rate of 2 cents per milee proposed for the Western and Atlantic railroad by the majority of this commission. 1 do not believe the courts will sustain it. 1 do not believe It to be just. “And this opinion as to the general result applies to the rates you pro pose for all the railroads you have placed in classes A and B. • I have staled that the masses of the people received no benefit from the enormous reductions in the freight rates,.made in 1905. 1 will assert with the utmost emphasis that 1 have prov ed the truth of the statement in ques tion by quoting the highest authority which can speak. “And 1 assert with equal emphasis that if the freight rates in Georgia be reduced $2,000,000 more the far mers and other laboring people will not get SSOO out of the total sum. It will simply be another dividend for the manufacturers and some of the jobbers. “As I have shown in my motion pro posing the application of the zone system in Georgia, the masses of the people get the benefit of reduced pas senger rates, although they have failed to gel any benefit from the reduction iu freight rates. Hence, in deciding this case, we must hold in mind that the toiler at the plow, the smith at the anvil, the planer at the carpen ter’s bench and the spinner in the cotton factory have rights equal to those of the tradesman in his office. "But in endeavoring tp secure for the masses of the people the benefits of reduced passenger rates " e must have a care lest iu grasping for too much we lose all. ’ Mr. Brown presents examples to show that many of the rates under the zone system which he proposed would be lower thau those under the schedule finally adopted. In classes O, D and E and the spe cial groups Commissioner Brown is entirely in accord with the other com missioners. SUICIDE RECORDS ARE SMASHED. Chicago and Codk County Show Long List of JSitHj-Murderers. Chicago's fuide record was bro ken in May [when 55 persons iu the city ended their lives, iu Cook coun ty there were 199 cases of self-de struction up to June 8, and the ef fect of the weather is to be seen in the increasing scale. The effect on all sorts of crime also was manifest. Iu the first five mouths of the year there were 75 murders, 22 of which were committed iu May. Color Blindness. If one thousand men gaze at.a gar den of flowers, fifty of them will see the colors falsely. If one thousand women view them, nine hundred and ninety-six or seven will pereeiye the hues correctly. Of the six colors of the rainbow, which, mingled in thous ands of combinations, give all the varying hues of sky and sea, of moun tain and valley, some are never seen by the color blind, or are felt only as light and shade of black and white. Very few persons are totally color blind, yellow, blue and violet being rarely lost. To the totally color blind all landscapes and objects are like an engraving in black and white. —'Cen- tury. EXIT THE MILKMAID. Henceforth Cows Will Ee Milked by Electricity. The public in general, and dairy men in particular, will doubtless be keenly interested in the machine milking experiments which have late ly been conducted with such success in the United States. It is, of course, no news to those in the business that during the last fifty years many at tempts have been made to provide a mechanical substitute for the milk maid, but until lately these attempts have ended in failure. Hundreds of patents have been tak en out by inventors for milking-ma chines, but when put to the test they refused to fulfil all necessary require ments. America, however, claims to have solved the difficulties in a most satis factory manner, and today there are over 1,000 milking-machines in use in the States. These machines are of two different types, one being worked fay foot-power and the other by an /electric motor. In both cases the nnachines have a couple of tubes, with four attachments at the end of each enabling the operator to milk two cows at once, thus causing a great saving of time. Each machine can be adjusted that it will milk at a fast or slow rate, and it has been proved that machine milked cows yield more butter than others. One might naturally suppose that the animals themselves would not take very kindly to the introduction of such machines. It has been found, however, that, w r hile some may be a little restless at first, on account of the clicking of the pulsators, as a rule they soon become quiet and rec onciled to the action, and stand still chewing their cud without manifest ing any discomfort. It Is estimated that machine-milk ers reduce the labor by about one half, and consequently their introduc tion enables the dairyman to reap greater profits and enlarge his busi ness. Futbermore, when the machines are kept clean, the milk from them contain fewer bacteria than hand drawn milk, although, of course, care lessness in cleansing may make them nuisances rather than aids to the dairyman.—Tit-Bits. One of the sights which everywhere greets the traveler’s eye in this coun try is thousands of saw mills, greedi ly chewing up our forest wealth, la ments the Louisville Courier-Journal. The number of these is so great that one can readily believe we are con suming 45,000,000,000 feet of lumber each year. This does not take into account 'the damage that is done to timber aud undergrowth by forest fires. When this loss is added to that being cut for domestic use, for ex port, for telegraph and telephone poles, for cross ties and fuel, and for timbers to be used in mining opera tions, it is said that our national sup ply of timber can hardly last more than twenty years.

The editor of a paper out in Okla. said: “Yes, it is true when I got hold of Grape-Nuts food it was worth more than a S2OOO doctor bill to me. for it made me a well man. I have gained 25 pounds in weight, my strength has returned tenfold, my brain power has been given back to me, and that is an absolute essential, for I am an editor and have been for 35 years. “My pen shall always be ready to speak a good word for this powerful nutritive food. I had of course often read the advertisements regarding Grape-Nuts, but never thought to ap ply the food to my own use, until, in my extremity and sickness the thought came to me that it might fit my case. The statements in regard to the food are absolutely correct, as I have proven in my own case. One very fortunate thing about the food is that while It is the most scientific ally made and highly nourishing, con centrated food I have ever kbown, it has so delicious a taste that it wins and holds friends.” “There's a R*?? sqn.” Read “The Road to Wellj' in CORPSES LEFT IN STOP I WAKE Teriffic Cloudburst and Whrling Tornado Cut Deadly iwath. LONG LIST OF INJURED Twenty-Nine People Lose Life, Twenty- One Being taught by Cloudburst in Little Kentucky Town. Twenty-nine known dead and forty persons injured constitute the list of casualties resulting from storms of tornado severity which swept over southern Illinois an*d Indiana and cen tral Kentucky Friday nignt and Satur day. These fatal visitations came in the shape of cloudbursts, nigh winds and electrical disturoances. The prop erty damage will reach many thous ands of dollars. Houses were swept away, bridges demohsned and thou sands of acres of growing crops de stroyed. Gradyvilie, Ky. ( was the worst suf ferer. A clouduurst ueiuged tnat vil lage of 15U persons shruy after mid night Friday night. At New Min den, 111., a tornado Saturday morning killed five people and injured a naif dozen others. At l orlt, ill., on the Wabash river, three peasons were kill ed and thirty injured. At Uuquern, 111., many houses wereb lown donwn on the outskirts of the towu and four persons were injured. Twenty-one persons dead, the vil lage devas.atea and several thousand acres of growing crops ruined, is the sum total of the havoc wrought by the cloudbursts that de-scended on,Grady vilie, and vicinity Friday nigiit. Ail the dead are residents of Grady vilie, and although reports are meager, owing to the remoteness of the place and the prostration of telephone and telegraph wirts, it is believed that no further fatalities will be reported from the surrounding country. The disaster was uue to the erratic behavior of Big Creek, ordinarily a small stream, but whten was already swollen by recent rains. When the cloudburst precipitated three inenes of rain in an hour on Gradyvilie and vicinity, the creek leaped from its bed and took anew course with the impetuosity of a tidal wave. The in habitants of Gradyvilie had no warn ing aud nearly ail were abed wnen the foaming waters struck the place, carrying away six larger residences, a mill and a number of smaller houses. Nearly ail the vict.ms were urowned, but lour were crushed by the collapse of their dwellings when the torrent struck them. As soon as the news of the disaster reached Columbia, Ky., the nearest town of any size, several hundred cit izens departed at once for the scene with wrecking appliances, tood and clotHing, all the physicians available accompanying them. They found the residents of the devastated village dazed aud helpless, but by nightfall all the relief possible had been altord ed. Several persons had been injured, but it is stated that none of tnese will die. PROBING JIM CROW LAV/S. Case of Negro Woman Heard by Interstate Commerce ctmmiss.on.
