painted by Miss Hail, of Macon. Grand
High Priest Goble appointed Compan
ion Thos. H. Jeffries, of Atlanta, to
make the presentation speech, or rather,
since the Older for these portraits.had
been made by the Grand Chapter.
Although the speech of Com
panion Jeffries Was impromptu, ho
sustained his reputation as a ready
speaker. Companion Jeffries is known
among the craft as a brilliant speaker
but on this Occasion he surpassed even
his reputation. In glowing periods, his
tono vibrant with feeing, he most elo
quently pictured the lives of these dis
tinguished companions who have been
called from labor to rest. In pleasing
language tho speaker painted these
lives as the models on which ioftv and

WAYCROS5 Ga„ Auril 24.—Harry
E. Lyle, the alleged murderer of his
wife and four months old baby in this
city on the 20th of January, last, made
a statement on his own behalf durmfc
the morning session of Ware Superior
court today pleading that the killing
of his wife was an accident and stat
ing that he does not know when or
how the shot was fired which killed
his babe.
Lyle was one of the clamest persons
in the court room when he made his
statement. He said that the safety
clutch on his gun was off and when he
took It from his shoulder Just before
entering his house it was discharged.
He claimed to not know when the sec
ond barrel of the gun was fired and
repeated his statement of the firing
of the first shot. Lyle denies that he
was drunk on the day of tne ktllin
and declared that he and his wife were
on the friendliest terms.
The - court room was crowded all
day and this afternoon the door ways,
aisles, rostrum and every other place
where standing room could be secured
was occupied. More than a hundred
ladles 'were present and only a few
persons in the house, remained seated
beceause of tho crowded condition.
During the morning session of the
court a number of witnesses for tho
State nnd that of the defendant were
examined. Just before taking the stand
to make a statement to the jury Lyle
was smiling and seemed to be ln a
very cheerful mood.
Among those who testified for tho.
State'was Henry Arr'’gton. an Uiicle
of the murdered woman, he testified
that while he knew of Mrs. Lyle be
fore she married, he was not aware
that she was a resident of Wavcross
until the morning of the day of which
Mrs. Lyle Was killed, when she came
to hlfe house just before noon, he then
went out and found Lyle and he pro
mised to let his wife go home to her
parents. Lyle accompanied Mr. Ar
rington home where his wife had re
mained while Mr. Arrington was look
ing for Lyle. Lyle kissed his wife and
later they left the Arrington home and
Arrington did not see them any more
until between 4 and 5 o’clock that
evening going toward their home and
he stopped them. That Lyle had a gun
oh his shoulder and in talcing the gun
down' unbreached It Mr. Arrington dis
covering that it was Unloaded.
Dr. J. H. Latimer was placed on the
stand and stated that he visited the
jail and made a physical examination
of Lyle’ on last Sunday, he found him
to be a man of ordinary intelligence
but one who was of an extremely her-
vous temperament. Dr. Latimer gave
a description of the anatomy of a man
regarding the effects of nervousness to
a person’s muscles. Dr. Latimer stat
ed that in his opinion it was possible
for a nervous man to unintentionally
pull the trigger of .a shot gun and then
within a few sce&nds pull the other
trigger.
A number of other witnesses were
also examined. This afternoon the
State examined witnesses in rebuttal
to witnesses of the defense. The case
may go to the jury tonight.

WASHINGTON. April 24.—The
State Department has been informed
of the successful conclusion of peace
negotiations at Amapala. A cablegram
received today from Capt, Doyle of
the United States cruiser Chicago,
dated yesterday, says:
"Peace conference agreed to treaty
at 11 p. m.”
Captain Doyle added that the peace
commissioners and their staffs would
embark last evening. It is Understood
from that, that J. G. Garneze, who will
represent Nicaragua, will be taken on
the Boston to Corinto and that the
Boston will proceed to Acapulco,
Mexico, on her way northward. Senor
Garcia, representative of Salvador in
the conference, was to go aboard the
Chicago and be taken to Acajutla. Sal
vador. and then the Chicago was to
follow the Boston, northward. These
details of the agreement were lacking.
NORFOLK. Va.. April 25—The day
before the opening of the Jamestown
Ter-centenhial Exposition on Hamp
ton Roads finds the management of
the big enterprise straining every en
ergy to put the grounds and buildings
in presentable shape for the inaugural
ceremonies Several thousand labor
ers were ehgaged today in clearing
the streets which are to be traversed
tomorrow by the President and his
party and by the military organiza
tions which will participate in the
land parade- Notwithstanding tho
rush being carried forward today the
exposition is far from complete. Tem
porary railroad tracks, debris of all
sorts and unfinished sidewalks are the
rule throughout the grounds, while
almost every building is marred by an
enclosure of scaffolding.
The feature of the opening day will
be the naval pageant in Hampton
Roads. President Roosevelt on board
the yacht Mayflower will review the
ships of the. nations now at anchorage
and the spectacle will be witnessed
by thousands from the shores of the
exposition grounds.
The management, as announced of
ficially last night, expects to have the
exposition completed by May 15, in
ail essential details, and this optimis
tic prediction is quite generally con
curred In by the citizens of Norfolk.
The suggestion has been made that
the grounds might be closed during
the interim, but the directors decided
against this course unanimously.
Among the notables who arrived to
day for the Jamestown Exposition's
opening were Gov. Hoggins, of Rhode
Island and staff, the Rhode Island
State commission and the judges of
the Supremo Court of Rhode Island:
GoV. Roberts and staff, of New Jer
sey: GoV. Woodruff and the Connecti
cut party; Gov. SUanson, of Virginia,
and party; Gov. Ans-t and staff, of
South Carolina: the Ohio State com
mission. with special representative of
the Ohio department: the Louisiana
commission to the exposition, ati<l
Lieutenant-Governor Chatiler ahd the
New Yol-k State commission.
All of the United States regular
troops’ have arrived on the exposition
grounds. Tho foreign naval vessels
which will be in line tomorrow when
it Is reviewed by. the President are the
German cruisers Roan and Bremen;
Argentine training - cruisers Presi-
dente and Sarmiente; the British and
Austrian battleships, which arrived
today and possibly: the Brazilian bat
tleship Riachuelo, cruiser Barrose and
gunboat Tamayo, which are expected
to arrive today.
The first official function incident to
the opening of tho Jamestown Exposi
tion took place tonight in the form of
a reception to be tendered by the Gov

The Lay Ministry.
Following is an abstract of the address
by Chancellor David C. Barrow, presi
dent of the association, during the ses
sion held last night:
Ladies and gentlemen, of the Georgia
Educational Association. I greet you. Two
of the great honors which have come
to me have been received at your hands.
At the last Cumberland meeting you
elected aie as your president, and onre
before, on that island Of blessed memot-v.
this association conferred on me the
signal honor of malting me a life mem
ber.
I have chosen for my subject “The
jay Ministry.” It is my purpose to speik
briefly on the relation of the teacher to
society, with some mention of mutual ob
ligations.
The Teacher.
The teacher’s office is essentially altru-
tic. He stands on one side and sees
his punils pass out one after another to
enter the battle Of life. Are the veannus
good? Is the eye true? Is tho head
ready? Has the bt-eparatloh been such ns
to enable his buplis to engage successfully
in their battle? His success is not his
own achievement, but In that of his pu
pils. This makes hi in of all men the most
altruistic.
Of all nien. too. lie values youth most.

wranped un. from the Vefv nature of his
work, in the welfare of others, and those
others being the youth, he becomes, of

LONDON, April 25.—Pedlar Palmer,
the English pugilist, was arrested yes
terday on suspicion of having caused
the death of an unknown man whose
body was found in a railroad :ar com
ing from Epsom, after the races and
was charged at- the Croyden police

on the train testified that he saw Pal
mer strike the deceased several blows
because he refused to stop singing.

There Is a stream that Constantly flows
by us. ever increasing, never returning.
No clouds return the water of this stream
to its fountain head.. Once gone by it is
gone forever. It Is the stream or youth.
The child who loses his education ttoes

He gains experience along the line of Ills

Comparison with Ills possibilities. Strange
as you may think it. tho mediocre child

need for this widening than the one
more blessed with mother Wit.
The Cry of the Church,
There is a cry so common that all
must have heard It; so loud that all must
heed: so Important that nil must attend.
It is the cry that people do not go to
the churches. It Is no uncommon thing
to have a clrotila- come In. asking why
tuis is true—as if I knew!
The minister who draws men Is said to
be an exeeption. Of Pastor Wngnon. It
was written with evident surprise, that
men went to his Church in Paris.
Again, suppose they do come, will they
understand the sermon? In the old-time
expressive language will "tile fodder be put
low enough for the little calves to reach
It?"
We reply to this, there is the Sunday
school. Yes/ there is the Sunday sehooi.
Few people deserve to Win brighter ce
lestial crowns than the devoted Sunday I
school teacher. Is .your Sunday school
planned-to seat the children? Rarely is
the attendance equal to fho membership
of tile church. Especially does this com
ment hold ln cities and towns. Is therq
need for argument? Is not the proof In
evidence everywhere „nd at nil times, that
while the church is the salt of the earth.
Its benefits are not anplled to till men.
It is the complaint of the church itself.

Note of Warnina.
During the period of preparation of
this address many Incidents have called
my attention to the increasing demand
and the decreasing supply of teachers, es
pecially men. You have noticed that I
speak mostly of the young ladies Who are
teaching. They make up this lay minis
try. The proportion is growing all the
time.
Two gentlemen were talking about
school superintendent who had resigned
One was disposed to criticise him. for
leaving his important work. The reply
of the other was. that he was not able to
support his family on the salary you paid
him. adding “this city should pay its su
perintendent $5.0001" “Why. that is as
much ns a bank president gets!” ‘‘And
why not?” I echo in the why not. Ts
there a more responsible position in a city
than that of superintendent of schools?
Is the man who looks after all the thous
ands of children, not to be paid as much
as the man who looks after a part of the
thousands Of dollars?
It Is not alone men who are scarce.
The Superintendent of Education in
Louisiana made a statement that 300
schools were without teachers when open
ing day came at the beginning of the
school year. He was 600 or 700 teachers
short, ns I remcmNsr it.
He scoured the country for teachers.
Mv friends, they pay more in Louisian
than we do In Georgia. It will be our turn
next. When I began teaching and could
save $50 it would buy me ten acres of
land. Now it will buy two or three acres
The Extenuation.
I know that wo have come through a
hard period. We have come through
sad time. It has molded those of us wt>3
are older into more Sombre moods than
the brightness of our land and sky war'
rartt. i
The smoke of the great war hung over
us. Much of that smoke has drifted or
been driven away. You do not know how
glad ulose of us who are older feel, to
see the brightening sky. Wo want you
to be hAppy and to be prosperous.
I know. too. that there tft the heaviest
kind of drain on the State. Prof. Ash
more. who Is good at everything, figures
| included, lias estimated that enough
i money goes out of Georgia even- year for
pensions to replace the educational build
ings Of the State. Burn them down every
year and build them back, with the money
that goes to other States for pensions.
The indirect tax is like a germ disease.
It Will kill you and you will never see it.
t know how many drains are on onr
State and have been on it. I know. too.
that we are bettor off. and are growing
richer in spite of it all. Help the schools,
help the schools for the sake of the chil
dren.
Perhaps I have digressed too far from
my original thought, which was to show
the tremendous responsibility which rests
upon the teacher, especially that brave
and beautiful hand of young ladies, who
are doing much splendid work, per nduum
fideles.
I desire to go on reror-- against making
the profession of the teacher a monev
gotting business. If they get rich, and
take caro or their money, they cannot
teinth.
It Is n calling too high to be measured
in dollars. All that I ask Is a living
wage and a small insurance. There is one
demand of the church which, as an officer
of the church, I make with boldness, and
as a, memher I pay with great pleasure.
It is the stipend for superannuated
preachers. The lay ministry does not get
this stipend, there is no fund for super
annuated teachers.
A Word of Advice.
• Now. my dear young friends, voting la
dles of the lay ministry. I close with a
word to you.
My record is clear through tile many
years I have tried to serve vou. Tn all
these years I have told you of the seri

THE
CALL OF
THE BLOOD
IN DEBILITY
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills Will
Prevent Most Case3 and Has
Cured Even Those That
Stubbornly Resisted
Ordinary Treatment.
There are few cases of general de
bility that could not have been pre
vented. There Is no hidden cause for
its presence nor is it sudden in Its at
tack. Any person, who is over-work
ed. or subject to any great worry or
excitement, or undergoes some long-
continued strain on the body, is liable
to become debilitated unless the blood
is kept pure and rich. Such unusual
conditions call for more nourishment
than the blood can supply and pale
ness. headaches, poor appetltie, unre
freshing sleep, backaches, loss of
spirits and a general tired-out feeling,
which follow, are simply a call for a
blood tonic and builder.
Mrs. Lena May Brooks, fo Pro trio
Hall. Macon County. III., after several
months of suffering finally found the
right tonic in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pii,s.
She says:
“For several months after tho birth
of my baby, I suffered terribly from a
general breakdown in health. I was
In bed for three months and after that
was able to be up only a part of tho
time. I was sick all over, being pale,
weak and thin. My appetitie was gone
and my head ached most of the time.
Oftentimes there seemed to bo a rush
of blood to my head and X would
faint away. I was very nervous nnd
was not strong enough to do any
work.
'As the treatment I was taking did
not help me, I began to take Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills, which a friend
said had helped her. After taking a
few boxes, X began to get well rapidly.
continued using them for a time
and am now as well and strong as
ever in my life.”
The value of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills in general debility lies in their
direct response to the needs of the*
blood. Their work is to make new
blood. That they do this well Is
shown by the gradual disappears n *
of the symptoms and the return of
■color and health. They lay the foun
dation for permanent health in the
future.
For the same reason these pills have
cured anaemia, after-effects of the
grip and fevers, rheumatism, indiges
tion. and nervousness, dizziness, neu
ralgia, St. Vitus’ dance and even par
tial paralysis and locomotor ataxia.
A valuable booklet. “Diseases of the
Blood," containing fuller information
about rheumatism and other diseases
ot the blood will he sent freo upon
request.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt of price, 50 cents per box,
six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Wil
liams Medicine Company, Schenecta
