I 1 is a giant ice crusher to be used in keeping open tbe trade routes ot tbe Baltic sea in winter. Ice crushing boats are used in several of tbe har bore op t fie great lakes in this country, but they are insignificant when com pared In else and power to this giant. Tbe miscreant who attempted to set fire to John Wanamaker.’e store de serve no sympathy even il he was io destitute circumstances. Tbe building was crowded with shoppers, s great majority of whom were women. A conflagration would in all probability have been attended with panic and great loss of life. The fellow was a rpurderer at heart, and should be punished to tbe limit of the law cov ering his offense. QI all tbe startling industrial re vol u tjons which have been witnessed in the Suited. States, that of our steel makers being able to ship steel ship plates to British shipbuilders and un dersell British steel makers from two to three dollars a ton, besides paying the freight, iatbe greatest of all. This ia a condition which tbe British them selves view apprehensively, even while momentarily benefiting by it. They not only fear that it is a sign of a great er industrial revolution that may transfer to our shores a large share of world's shipbuilding they have so long enjoyed, but drey believe it also threat ens an eventual readjustment of ship owning more equitably distributed among maritime nations Those esteemed contemporaries of ours that have been making humorous paragraphs about the transport Ches ter's being aground in the river, and advising tbe government to change tbe port of embarkation to their cities, have really been doing Savannah a great service. They didn’t mean to do it, of course, but they have adver tised the fact that the Chester came into this port drawing 24 feet of water and went out drawing 25 ; and there is no ether port of tbe South Atlantic where this could have occurred. The monster steamer, as a matter of fact, could not have gotten in at tbe so called rival ports, much lees nave got ten out drawing a foot more water than when she arrived. Tbe Chester went from the city to the sea drawing 25 feet, and never touched in the channel. She will discharge her men and supplies and come back again. great transports are passing up the river every day.

Election* la Guatemala are decided, ft appears, by majorities so largo «•*° reD : dor unnecessary any subsequent electoral contest. In order to dispose of contests more expeditiously there are now in Wash ington three committees on elections in the house of representatives. Butonaoom mittee probably would suffice in Guate mala, where, at the last election for presi dent of the republic, the vote cast was in tbe proportion of 700 for one candidate to 1 for the other. The term of the president of Guatemala is nominally six years, and bo is not eligible for a second term, but when Guatemala gets a good president it is the custom to prolong his term, end a term thus prolonged is indefinite and ends usually when the president dies Oeawrwl Deaver. •• Denver is so young,” says a spondent of the Boston Transcript, “that General Denver, for whom it is named, Is still living and visited the city a few years ago. This is a rare honor. Washington never saw the great city which he knew would bear hit name. Lieutenant Du luth. the intrepid French officer of the lake region, had been in his grave 200 years before the city that perpetuates his fame was founded. It has baen General Denver’s good fortune to live to see namesake possess » population of 170, Owl and rank high am.mg the thriving towns of the west.” UU.HL Winter Tourtit Tioketi From November Ist until April 80,1899 Winter Tourist tickets to principal South ern resorts, including Asheville and Hot Springs, N. 0., and Florida points will be on sale at special rales, via Southern Ry.

Fill a bottle or common glass with your water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an unheal thy condition of the kidneys; if it stains your linen it is evidence of kidney trouble; too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kid neys and bladder are out pf order. What to Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so of ten expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’S Swamp- Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills ev ery wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer,and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp- Root is soon realized. It stands the high est for ite wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. At druggists fifty cents or one dollar. You may h >ve a sample bottle and a book that tells more about it, both sent absolutely free by mail, if you send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham ton, N. Y. When writing be sure and mention that you read this generous offer in the Middle Georgia Farmer. CDnsumjrtion AND ITS *CWKS To the Editor I have an absolute remedy for Consumption. By its timely use thousands of hopeless cases have been already permanently cured.

Th© Greatest Ever Known. ' THE MTOL LIFE INSURANCE CO. OF NEW YORK. Breaks The Dividend Record. It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the particulars 1 of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in stance eclipsed all previous dividend results: v ‘ I Mr. Bankswas insured for 221 Paid to the estate - $17,088.001 How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, ® n . I he did this for fifty-tour years. He did not utilize any portion of the 1 dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these for his benefit. Here are the particulars: Policy No. 1,283. Issued March 5,1845. 85,000.1 Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Life Flan. Original insurance in 1845, - Dividend additions paid in 1898, .I»,<bo.W I Amount of death claim ftAn’oo I 54 Premiums paid by insured - 0,0w.w i Realized to estate over premiums paid SB.BBBOOI Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (2|) per I cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from so,vue 1 at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94. . I _ The dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 per cent, of all the premiums | paid for the insurance. Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety-four. He appreciated the power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result of his method of investment —a result that has neVter been equalled by a policy holder in any other company in the world.

D. said: ** Several years ago I asserted that If one wished to become a philan thopist, and do a beneficent deed one that would help the whole hu man race—nothing could be better than to procure the Roosevelt Hos pital prescription, vohich is the basis of the Ripasu Tabules, and cause it to be put up in ths form of a ketchup ana distributed among the poor.’* Sales Increaal og. The largest retail drug store in America is that of Hegeman & Co. on Broadway in New York City. A reporter who went there to learn how Ripans Tab ules were selling bought a flve-oent carton and asked: “Do you have much call for these?” He was referred.’ to agentleman who proved to be the head of the depart ment. He said: *' The sale es Ripe 1* Tabules is constant and is in< sreaiing, due especially to the influ* atial character ofthe touts wwwiela in -(he daily press, and growing out of these, through the recommendation of friend to friend. Satisfaction with them is very general. When once they are begun I notice that a perma- mt custom® for them is made.

An elderly lady living at Fordham ; Heights, a part of New York City, ' and who was known to be a warm ] advocate of Ripans Tabules for any ] case of liver trouble or indigestion, ; said to a reporter who visited her for . the purpose of learning the particu- ] lars of her case: “I had always ; employed a physician and did so on ; the last occasion I had for one, but . at that time obtained no beneficial ] remits. I had never had any faith ; in patent medicines, but having seen < Ripans Tabules recommended very < highly in the New York Herald con- , eluded to give them a trial, and j found they were just what my case ; demanded.
