Thls Lonten season is the fifteenth
anniversary of the administration of
Rt. Rev. Cleland Kinloch Nelson
bishop of the Episcopal diocese of
Georgia. He has ably and popularly
fllled his present apostolic office since
1892, coming to it from South Bethle
hem. Pa., where lie had been rector
of the Church of the Nativity for ten
years. Bishop Nelson is Southern to
the core. He is a Virginian by birth,
nnd of splendid lineage. Episcopal
Ians especially, and the public gener
ally. will read with Interest the fol
lowing biographical sketch which I
find in the Cyclopedia of Georgia:

In 1781 lie succeeded Thomas Jeffer

In 17S9. His fifth son. Hugh Nelson,

scemed timt some traders were waiting
for an indication as to the future atti
tude of market leaders. But it was
soon seen that brokers, believed to rep
resent the local bull leader were buyers
of near months. there was covering of
shorts and reports that the bull leader
was establishing a cotton sample and
sales room by suggesting that a pro
tracted bull campaign was contemplated,
seemed to inspire some confidence among
small buyers, with the result that the'
market soon advanced to well over the
closing figures of the previous day.
There was some ljttle Irregularity dur
ing the middle session, but the market
ruled quite firm later and the high point
was reached in the later trading. Small
er receipts at the ports and interior towns
for the day and rather lighter estimates
for tomorrow helped the advance, togeth

THE STOCK MARKET
NEW YORK. Feb. 28.—There was an
abrupt reversal of sentiment from that of
yesterday In the stock market today as
there was on Tuesday from that of Mon
day. Today’s sharp recoveries placed
prices quite generally on a level with
the best prices touched in the recovery
on Tuesday.
The complete uncertainty of the specu
lative sentiment is clearly defined in
these numerous and abrupt changes in
the reverse of prices. Today’s recov
ery was as little accounted for by any
developments as have been the early
movements of the week. Some influence
was attributed to the adjournment of the
Interstate Commerce Commission’s hear
ing in this city. But opinions in the Wall
street district of the bad effects on secur
ities threatened as a result of that hear
ing. were not altered, but rather were
emphasized by the later phases of the
investigation. Commission houses profess
a conviction that the public cannot be in
duced to buy stocks while these revela
tions are fresh in mind.
Importance was given to the highly
favorable reports from the iron and steel
trade and the great influence expressed
by authorities In that trade of the sound
ness of the conditions existing.

impure or poisoned condition of the blood, S. S. S. has no equal. It goes
into the circulation and thoroughly cleanses it of all impurities and makes a

HOUSE DID MUCH WORK
AND HELD NIGHT SESSION.
"WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S— Conference
reports were agreed to by the House
today on rivers and harbors appropria
tion bill, and the criminal appeals bill.
The House concurred in the Senate
amendment in the army bill providing
for the retirement of certain brigadier
generals who set-ved in the Civil War
with the rank of major general.
The President returned to the House
without his approval a bill for the re
lief of J. W. Bauer and others grow
ing out of their failure to make re
turns for special tax as retail duties
on oleomargarine.
The House adopted the conference
report on the naval appropriation bill,
with the single exception of the amend
ment relating to the naval training sta
tion at Port Royal. S. C. Mr. Patter
son, of South Carolina, moved to re
cede and concur in the Senate amend
ment, but the motion was defeated, and
the House further insisted on its dis
agreement to the amendment in ques
tion. The ship-subsidy bill was de
bated throughout the day, and at the
night session a still further extension
of one hour having been agreed to for
general debate, the extra time to bo
taken at the session tomorrow.

EXPLOSION OF BOILER
AT SAWMILL KILLED MAN
CLAXTON, Ga., Feb. 2S.—By the ex
plosion of the boiler of Mr.
M. J._ Stubbs' saw mill here
today, Caesar Bank, negro, was instantly
killed, another negro was fatally scalded
and Stubbs seriously scalded. The negro
fireman claims there was plenty of water
in the boiler at the time, but the fact
that the explosion oecurr- . shortly after
the pump was started leads to the belief
that the water was too low. The boiler,
with the engine attached, was blown 150
feet and passed over the fireman’s head
without injuring him.
Found at Last.
J. A. Harmon, of Lizemore, West
Va., says: “At last I have found the
perfect pill that never disappoints me:
and for the benefit of others afflicted
with torpid liver and chronic constipa
tion, will say: take Dr. King's New
