Senator Money said that if by leg

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1«.—Chairman I
Payne, of the House committee on j
ways and means, has received a letter
from 'Secretary Shaw concerning the
location of the proposed new sub-
treasury in the Southeast, in which
the Secretary expresses no preference
for any of the cities which are lighting
for the new branch of the treasury.
Mr. Shaw says that if local interests
are to be considered there should be
a treasury in the Southeast, but that
if the interests of the Government are
to be considered, at leas, two of the
existing sub-treasuries should be aban-
dotted. He suggests that n mere exam- |
lnatlon of the map is suffeient to show ,
where any new subtreasury should be '
located, but fails to Indicate definitely j.
what city he would select.

pieces of property to all stockholders, ;
the size and quality of the land de- ;
pending on the amount of stock sub
scribed. In this way the plaintiffs
allege that $70,000 came to Fitzgerald

proving the property. The petitioners
declare that the remainder of the ]
money Fitzgerald has in his possession j
and that he is guilty of fraud and mis- j
representation. Besides asking for a
receiver and judgment against Fitz

Fitzgerald was indincted by the Fed

that he would see a certain memb'
of the Tennessee delegation in Hades
before he would do anvthing for him—
a remark entirely gratuitous, in view
of the' fact that the nerson supposed
to have been referred to had never
asked a favor at his hands, but with
supreme Indifference to his good opin
ion had eritieised him when ho was
wrong and "with like indifference to
his good opinion, can support him
when he is right.
“So far as the negro race is coneern-
ed. the only charge that can be justly
made against the President, is that
he has loved the negro not wisely, but I
too well. There is something pathetic |
in the President's plaintive recital of ;
all that.he has done and attempted for I
the negro race. Yet there is no man
in this country todav. not even the
Senator from South Carolina, who is
so universally and so bitterly hated by i
the negroes as the,man who abolished I
the Tndianola postoffice and dined with |
Booker Washington. 1 All that he has i
done for the negro, all the evidences
of friendship he has shown In the past,
have been utterly forgotten simply be
cause he has not shown that sympathy
with the criminal negro which per
vades the negro population in this
country, from one end of it to the
other."
Foraker Done to a Turn.
He then turned his attention to Sen
ator Foraker, saying:
“I can remember with what frantic
energy he used to wave the bloody
shirt—a shirt dyed with the crimson
current of his own rhetoric: I remem
ber how be used to go raging over the
land, a bifurcated, peripatetic volcano in
perennial eruption, belching fire and
smoke and melted lava from his ago
nized and tumultuous bowels. I can,
remember how. In public speeches, he
spattered the gall of his bitterness
upon the South, until I came to think
that the Senator wished all the white
people of the South, men. women, chil
dren and babes at the breast, had a
single neck, that he might sever It at
a blow. T would not have to go back
forty years or make any inquiry into
the Senator's pedigree to prove by
such evidence that the Senator from
Ohio is the last man to sit in judgment
in a case of murder where a negro was
the murderer and a Southern white
man was his victim.
"But I will not do the Senator such
gross injury, as to judge his heart by
the testimony of his mouth, and when
my Southern friends ask me if the
Senator from Ohio is really as rabid
and as bitter as he seems, I tell them
no, his fury Is purely oratory: it is sim
ply the lingering force of a tyrannical
habit which continues to have some
power over the tongue long after it
had been expelled from the heart.”

FRUIT GROWERS DISTURBED
BY GLOOMY PROSPECTS.
AMERICUS. Oa., Jan. 16.—Fruit
growers here are greatly disturbed at
the prospective loss of the peach crop
this year as 'a result of the continued
warm weather. In several of the large
orchards near Americas the trees arc
rapidly reaching the stage where a
freeze will ruin the tender buds. In
some localities many blooms are vis
ible already, and as the weather con
tinues very warn the prospect for a.
crop diminishes. One very fine or
chard of eight hundred acres, another
of one thousand acres, and a third
of five hundred acres, will produce
this season their first full crops, pro
vided the buds are not killed. In the
vicinity of Americus more than a half-
milion peswk trees will bear this year
if seasons are propitious, and In con
st qr.ence orchard men view with con
siderable apprehension the present sit-

NORRISTOWN. Pa. Jan. 16.—The
boiler of o Philadelphia and Reading
railroad ehgine exploded at Bridge
port, near here todav and five tram-
mem were killed. All resided at Al
lentown. The engineer of the train
J. D. Black, escaped. The train had
come from Allentown and was bound
for Philadelphia. The explosion is
thought to have been due to low wa
ter in the boiler. All the men killed
w. re on the engine. The rear portion
of the boiler was hurled about 150
yards, while the wheels of the engine
remained on the track.

civic government and the right con

Books on Shakespeare.
It is, I believe, a saying among pub
lishers that no member of their craft—
or, as one prefers to term it, their pro
fession—ever ultimately lost money on
an edition of Shakespeare. Perhaps
the fact thus vouched for. if fact it be,
is partly responsible for the numerous
competing editions of the works of th"
dramatist. But publishers must have
lost money on many a book dealing
with Shakespeare’s life'and writings,
hence :he increasing number of such
publications must be accounted for in
the' main on grounds other than com
mercial. The supreme position of
Shakespeare in cur literature: the
spread of English studies, especially
among post-graduates in our universi
ties: the growth, in a demnneratic age,
of the crax-ing for dis'inction. which
finds a convenient outlet in literary
and scholarly pursuits—these and other
reasons amply account for the rising
tide of Shakespeareana that threatens
to swamp our libraries.
That books devoted to Shakesneare

A FAMILY
BLOOD TAINT
Scrofula is not a disease that is acquired, under ordinary circumstances.
It is a deep-seated family blood taint, handed, down from generation to gen
eration, blighting the lives and sapping the vital forces of innocent persons
who have inherited this legacy of disease. Parents who are blood relations
or who have a consumptive tendency, or blood disease of any character, are
sure to transmit it to their offspring, and it usually takes the form of Scrofula.
Swollen glands, brittle bones, weak eyes, sores and eruptions on the body,
Catarrh, and often deformities with hip disease, are the principal ways in
which the trouble is manifested. In some cases the blood is so filled with
scrofulous germs and poisons that from birth the sufferer is an object of pity
because of suffering and a total lack of health, while in other instances
favorable surroundings and prudent living hold the disease ia check until
later in life A deep-seated blood disease like Scrofula can only be reached
by the very best constitutional treatment. A remedy is required that can
renovate the entire blood supply and drive out the scrofulous and tuberculous
deposits. S. S. S. is the greatest of all
blood purifiers ; it goes to the very bottom
of all blood disorders anil removes every
taint and poison from the circulation,
makes rich, healthy blood and cures Scrof
ula permanently. S. S. S. supplies (jtm
weak, diseased blood with the rich, health-
sustaining properties it is in need of, and
makes this life stream fit to supply every part of the system with strength
and vitality. Scrofula yields to S. S. S. because it is a natural blood puri
fier. Write for book on the blood and any medical advice desired. No
