RHEUMATISM
The cause of Rheumatism is a sour, acid condition of the blood, brought
about by indigestion, chronic constipation, and the accumulation in the
System of refuse matter which the natural eliminative organs have failed to
carry out. This refuse or waste matter ferments and sours, generating uric
acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body,
and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. One may also be born
with a predisposition or tendency to Rheumatism, because like all blood dis
eases it can be transmitted from parent to child. The aches and pains of
the disease are only symptoms which you may scatter or relieve with lini
ments, plasters, blisters, etc., or deaden with opiates. A.3 soon, however
as such treatment is left off or there is any exposure to cold or dampness or
after an attack of indigestion or constipation, the wandering pains sore
muscles and joints, and tender places on the flesh return, and the sufferer
finds that he has merely checked the symptoms while the real cause of the
disease remains in the blood. Rheumatism can never be cured while the
blood remains saturated with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism by driving the cause out of the blood It thor
oughly cleanses the blood and renovates the circulation by neutralizing the
acids and expelling all foreign matter from the system. S. S. S. stimulates
and invigorates the blood so that instead of a weak, sour stream constantly
depositing acrid and corrosive matter in the muscles, joints, nerves and
bones, the body is soothed and nourished by rich, health-sustaining blood
which completely and permanently cures Rheumatism. - S. S. S. is composed
of roots, herbs and barks which possess both purifying and tonic properties—
just what is needed in even- case of Rheumatism. Book on Rheumatism

GREAT CHURCH GATHER
Richmond Thronged With
Dignitaries.
AT THE TRIENNIAL CONVENTION
Much Important Business To Trans
act—Divorce Question Comes Up,
Also Question of Negro Bishops
Tor Separate Negro Di
oceses.
RICHMOND, VA., Oct. I.—(Spec
ial) —The intellect and the power of
the Protestant Episcopal Church of
the United States are concentrated In
Richmond today. On every train dis
tinguished bishops, active clergymen
and influential laymen from all parts
of the country have been pouring in
to the city, until even the hotel cor
ridors for once in their history might
be mistaken for the vestibules of
churches so numerous thereabout
are men of priestly mien. At many
of the aristocratic residences bish
ops and clergymen have found splen
did quarters.
At Holy Trinity Church where
the sessions of the triennial con
vention will begin tomorrow, a great
throng of churchmen were assembled.
The gathering was informal, the gen
tlemen visiting the convention hall
for the purpose of getting their mail
and obtaining information relative to
their quarters. Among the notable
arrivals today were many of the
bishops of the church; including the
venerable Bishop Tuttle who will pre
side over the triennial session. The
Bishop of London is another promi
nent visitor who will receive much
attention. J. Pierpont Morgan, with
his guests, will arrive tonight or to
morrow morning in his private car
and take possession of the private
house which he has rented for $5,000
a month.
Opening Session.
Tomorrow morning at 11 o’clock
the regular sessions of the convention
will begin. The day will be ushered
in by the celebration of holy com
munion in all of the Episcopal chur
cres of the city. At Holy Trinity
services will be held at both 7 and
8 o clock and at 9 o'clock prayer and
litany will be observed, after which
the church will be put in readiness
for the ceremonial celebration of the
day. At 11 o’clock the bishops will
form in procession and march to the
church. They will he clad in the
robes of their office and will be pre
ceded by the choir. Bishop Tuttle
will preside over the ceremonies. At
4 o’clock the first session of the con-,
vention will be held.
Among the famous churchmen from
other lands in attendance at the con
vention are the bishop of London,
the Right Rev. Dr. Edgar Jacob, bish
op of St. Albans, England; the Right
Rev. Dr. Henry Montgomery, of Lbn
don, secretary of the Society for the
Propagation of the Gospel; Bishop
Partridge, of Kioto; Bishop Brent, of
the Philippines; Bishop McKim, of
Tokio, Japan; Bishop Graves, of
Shanghai, China; Bishop Roots, of
Hankow, China; Bishop Restarick, of
Hawaii; Bishop Knight, of Cuba;
Bishop Aves, of Mexico, and Bishop
Van Buren, of Porto Rico.
I Among other well known members
of the house of delegates are General
[ E. S. Bragg, of Wisconsin; General
| John M. Brown, of Maine; General
I W. P. Craighill, of West Virginia:
Congressman Richmond P. Hobson,
of Alabama; Thomas Nelson Page, of
Washington; Robert Treat Paine, of
; Boston, and George Foster Peabody,
the famous Brooklyn educator and
philanthropist.
Much Important Business.
Seldom if ever before in its history
has the triennial convention met with
so much important business to trans
act. Two leading questions which are
expected to cause much discussion
will be the advocacy of a canon to
i prohibit absolutely the remarriage of
! divorced persons by ministers of the
! Episcopal church, and a plan for the
; creation of negro bishops.
At the last convention of the church
a canon was adopted which permit- j
to i the clergy to retharry the inno-1
cent party in a case, but only after a |
year had elapsed from the time of tho
decree. As the rule of the church!
j now stand persons divorced for am*
; o'.her cause than adultery may be:
• the la t ci mention advo< at •. cf
: Urn canon pr.aliib't’ng any ivnuirri.iT :
| of divorce'.’, per ons wore numorical
jly in Urn m:’jo \ty, but l!i' convention j
votes b;. i’ o.- 's s. an.l the riyorLt - •
j were o t-voted. it is predicted that
jnt the pr.■unit g.itherlni tiny
! v,-;;| slice "1 in having tin canon ad- ■
! opted mi the remarriage cf divorced j
persons entirely prohibited.
The proposal to create separate ne
gro dis tricts in tin Episcopal dio- i
case in the South, with n ?gro bish- j
ops to take charge of them, w ( ill meet!
with strong opposition in tim con-!
vention. At present no division be
tween white and colored communi
cants exists, and the only negro bish
op in the church is stationed in Af
rica.
It is contended by some that to put
a negro bishop over a negro diocese
would have the effect of alienating
the race from the church, and thus
setting the negroes to drift for them
selves. While many of the leading
negro clergymen desire the change,
others are opposed to it.
The subject of proportionate rep
resentation in the house of deputies,
the lower body of the Episcopal leg
islature, will be revived. The larger
dioceses favor the plan, but the smal
ler ones are opposed to it.
The convention will be asked to
consent to the division of the dioceses
of Georgia and Pittsburg. Several
missionary districts, including one
for the Panama canal zone, will like
ly be created and bishops for each.
A court of appeals, in addition to
the existing court of review, will pro
bably be established thus completing
the judicial system of the church for
the settlement of questions of doc
trine, faith and worship. The res
triction on the court of review in
causes like the Crapsey case will thus
he removed. The commission of the
courts of appeal is headed by Chief
Justice Fuller, of the supreme court,
of the United States.
May Create New Diocese.
In addition to the two great ques
tions to come before the convention
many others of minor importance will
be considered. It is probable that
the convention may elect another
bishop for Episcopalians in Mexico.
A rearrangement of a large part of
the Rock Mountain region in its rela
tion to the administration of the
church is. urged, and if the recom
mendation is carried out it will mean
the creation of three new dioceses and
the election of new bishops. It is
probable, in fact, that the present
convention will break all records as
to the number of new bishops to be
elected by it.
In addition to these changes in the
far west are several proposed divis
ions of dioceses. Georgia is to be
divided, and there is possible a re
arrangement of Ohio, making three
dioceses there instead of two. Dis
cussion will also be had as to the dis
position of Minnesota and lowa,
where conditions have outgrown
present Episcopal forces. It is pos
sible also that the Southern Illinois
diocese and that of Pittsburg may tie
divided.
The observance of the tercenten
nial of the landing at Jamestown of
English settlers and the establish
ment of the services of the Church of
England in America will occupy
some of the time of the general con
vention, which will be in session
about four weeks. A feature of the
observance will be the presentation
of a thank-offering by the men of the
Episcopal church for the progress of
th past three centuries.
LUTHERAN PASTOR

SAVANNAH, October I.—(Special)
—The board of deacons of the Luther

fifteen years. Dr. Schaffer gave no
reason at all for his resignation, which

Diamond Investments.
Diamonds have enhanced in value, as nearly every one knows, more than
double in the 'ast eight or ten years. The opinion of those who are in a posi
tion to know, is that under natural conditions the maximum price is far from
being attained. Added to the natural conditions, such as the mines getting
deeper, etc. It is reported that the Deßoers people have obtained control of
Premier Mines, which were the only ones offering even slight
is therefore very evident that in the near future you will see’prices ranch in
flated over those at present. Tennison says in his “In Memoran,” “Delay
