Girls who marry with the fool ish idea that it is their husband’s duty to support them in compara tive idleness are making a serious mistake. It is a wife’s duty to work and build up a homo by pru dence and industry in home man agement, as much as it is her hus band’s to work outside and provide money. It is only a person of great wealth who can afford to hire a refined person to take her place as housekeeper. Only a compara tively lazy woman can resign her place as housekeeper to any ordi nary maid servant, ,and her family must suffer because of it. The loss of the mother as the power at the helm is one of the greatest evils that can befall a family. An en ergetic woman will let no other cause but physical incapacity keep her from attending to her highest duties—those upon which the com fort and health pf her family de pend.

Boils and pimples are an indication that the system is accumulating impurities whioh ran lirj n must be gotten rid of ; they are an urgent appeal for assistance lUn nCLr ■ —a warning that can not safely be ignored. To neglect to purify the blood at this time means more than the annoyance of painful boils and unsightly pimples. If these impurities are allowed to remain, the system succumbs to any ordinary illness, and is jflr’ul unable to withstand the many ailments which are so WB prevalent during spring and summer. *8 Mrs. L.

Many women suffer untold agony and misery becuuse the nature of their disease is not correctly undeistood. They have been led to believe that womb trouble or female weakness of some sort is respon sible for the many ills that beset woman kind. Neguralgia, nerveousness, headache, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, rheu matism, a dragging pain or dull ache in the back, weakness or bearing-down sensation, profuse or scanty supply of urine with strong odor, frequent desire to pass it with scalding and burning sensa tion, sediment in it after standing in bot tle or common glass for twenty-four hours, are signs of kidney and bladder trouble. The above symptons are often, attribut ed by tbe patient herself or by her physi cian to female weakness or womb trouble Hence so msny fail to obtain relief, be cause they are treating ndt the disease itself but a reflection of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble. In fact women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and bladder trou ble and both need the same remedy.

While General Shafter was in command of the department of the east after bis return from Cuba, a mus tered out Seventy-first man approached his old commander one day in a public place and quite timidly asked the privi lege of shaking his hand. The matter was pnt to Shafter in this form, “Gen eral, here is a Seventy-first man who wishes to know if yon’ll shake hands with a member of that regiment?” “With pleasure," said Shafter, tak ing the blushing boy's hand and laying hold of his arm in a fatherly way. “I am always ready to greet a soldier of the Seventy-first. Ycurs is a good regi ment, and don’t you ever he ashamed of it. The only trouble in it all was that the officers fell to quarreling when they got home. The regiment was all right in the field, and did no worse than hundreds of regiments have done in the first campaign. Hud the war lasted a few months longer the Seventy-first would have been as good as the best." Snap judgments on the Seventy-first at San Jnan are unfair and nnjnst to say the least. Notwithstanding all the heroes the Spanish war produced, not one can he Bpared. The Seventy-first has heroes on its rolls. At one time it seemed as though they had to he brought out with a searchlight. Now its the cowards and failnres who are to be picked ont singly. Said a veteran regular officer at Camp Wikoff, “Give the Seventy-first Krag-Jorgensens and smokeless powder in place of their Springfields and they are regulars. ’’ There have been many good things said of this volunteer militia regiment by their regular comrades. In compari son with the showing of the New York Seventh in the Spanish war crisis the Seventy-first should be entitled to an ovation if it hadn’t smelled powder at all. But it did smell powder. It lost 16 men killed outright or died of wounds and 76 deaths by disease contracted in the trenches in Cuba. This was over 10 per cent of its strength. Aside from these honorable sears, the regiment made a good record in the field and in the trenches. There is one thing that every soldier knows which counts in the favor of these militia boys. Cowards cannot be drawn into battle by chains, and if by any means they are tricked into, getting within bullet range they may always find an excuse to crawl out of the dilemma. The mass of the rank and file of the Seventy-first acted all right at the San Juan ford and on the hill. They didn’t show cowardice, and to a man would have displayed heroism had they been older hands or had proper leadership. It is to be noted that not an officer of the Seventy-first waS killed or strick en mortally by fever. The two officers who came ont unmistakable heroes were prostrated with fever as soon as they reached the north. These were Major Keck and Captain Rafferty. For a time there were conflicting stories about Major Keck, but I discovered at Camp Wikoff that the men in the ranks classed Keck and Rafferty togeth er as the heroes of the* day, shutting out all other officers. When the regiment came home, Keck didn’t pose as a hero, bat be talked like one. When asked for his story, he said: “My story is simply the story of the Seventy-first regiment. I never saw skirmishers deploy as well as the Sev enty-first men deployed on the field of battle. The intervals were perfect. The men were as calm as thongh they had been drilling at state camp.” “But, major,” said the interviewer, “the boys said that you led them, wav ing a red bandanna handkerchief.” “Nonsense! The Seventy-first regi ment in that fight led itself.” “But you were out ahead, were you not?” “Well, I followed in front.” an swered the major, with a smile. “But we were all right there. Kafferty was right with us, and so was his command, Company F. I tell you Rafferty and his men were all right.” Major Keck’s Third battalion com prised Companies B. L, K and E. Like the true hero, the major would not talk of his own deeds and experi ences—only the regiment, the regiment. Raiferty was also reluctant to talk of himself, but at length did respond for the credit of his company. His story I also obtained from the lips cf a regulur oflicer who, as aid to General Kent, directed Rafferty in action. The first official praise of these two officers came in the report of Major Phil Reade, in spector general of Kent’s division and a fine specimen of veteran soldier. Aft er telling of the conduct of the First battalion and its imitation by the Sec ond, the steadiness of the Third bat talion under Keck and the demand for more troops beyond the river.

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1899. command, “Is there an officer here who will obey an order from General Kent?” To this Rafferty promptly responded that he would obey any and every order from General Kent. He was told what to do. Major Keek also responded, and his battalion was placed in liDe to fol low or go beside the regulars then hur rying to support the colnrnn attacking San Juan hill. Major Reade gives praise to Keck for readiness to act and cool ness. He didn't stand on ceremony and demand that orders come through the regnlar channels, but fought when and where he was told. Since the investigation and govern or’s report on the conduct of the regi ment that day former Lieutenant John M. Thomson of the Third battalion has told the story so long held secret of what the battalion did at San Jnan HilL He shows, like Major Reade, that the Third battalion, last in line, was not Berioneiy affected by the wavering of the troops ahead, and continues: Major Reade, of Kent’s staff, asked Major Keck, commanding the Third battalion, if he would obey any orders from Kent. . Upon receiving In affirmative reply Major Reade directed hitn to carry his battalion to the front, which was imme diately done. Advancing through the trail, the Third battalion passed the Second and First bat talions. Major Keck directed the battalion to ford San Juan river. Arriving on the other side of the river in the high grass, the battalion was again formed and speedily executed the command of Major Keck, which was, “Left front into line of squads as skirmishers! March!” I have never seen the maneuver more perfectly executed on parade. In this order the battalion crossed the field, which was about *2OO yards in width and 800 yards in length and proceeded up to the brow of San Juan hill to the left of the blockhouse. When we reached the top, we found Captain Rafferty and F already there. By direc tion of General Kent the battalion was marched to the left for the distance of about one-quarter of a mile to find the left of the Sixteenth in fantry. Not being able to find the Sixteenth, Major Keck marched us back to our previous po, sitlon on the top of San Juan hill. There has been no claim that the Third battalion led the regiment into action, but the Third battalion does claim that they were first on the hill after Cap tain Rafferty, who had preceded the Third bat* talion by about ‘2O minutes. I decry as much as anybody the undue credit given to the Seventy-first and the rough riders for the capture of San Juan hill, but I do claim for Company F and the Third battalion that they were present at the taking of San Juan hill and most materially assisted in doing so. The Thlr< battalion closely followed the footsteps of the Twenty-fourth infantry, the fact of which can be substantiated by nearly all, if not all, the officers of the Twenty-fourth infantry. While at Camp Wikoff the writer personally verified the statements mads by officers of the regiment to the effect that 58 men of the Seventy first report ed on the rolls as missing the night of July 1 were not shirking, but, were in among the regulars, having charged ths hill with them. Major Webb, inspector general of the Second division, says that when the regulars marched through the prostrate Seventy-first in the trail they were greeted with such cries from the New 7 Yorkers ns, “Go in, boys, and give it to them!” “We wish we were going along W’ith you!” “Say, take us along with you!” Ask any old soldiers if that is the language of cowards and shirks on the edge of the battlefield. The gallant Captain Parker of the Gat lings laments that the Seventy-first men cheered his guns as they went in and drew Spanish fire. But all this cheering and calling for leaders shows that the grit of the misguided boys was all right. It was a place to rattle the oldest vet erans, but the moment a leader showed himself who could lead, the Seventy first men were as valorous as the best. All who left their own ranks to join the regulars fought like heroes, and then went back to their own colors. Captain Rafferty finally told his story, and said: “My company pushed right along and forded the creek, which was up to their necks. From the creek up to the blockhouse was an open space, which the Spaniards just swept with volleys. We clambered along to ward the eminence cn which the fort stood. Adjutant Tayman of the Twenty fourth infantry, one of the colored regi ments, a splendid officer and man, came up and said, ‘Where are you going?’ “I replied, ‘Up the hill.’ “ ‘Good!’ said he.< ‘You’re the kind we want. ’ So along with the regulars Company F went up. ” Tayman said that it was as Rafferty claimed; that he, Tayman, directed Rafferty how to get his company to do execution, and Rafferty, after the bat tle, hunted him out to thank him for it. Said Tayman, “Rafferty did well. ” A field officer and a line officer saved the honor of the Soventy-first on San Juan hill, and to Private Charles Ed wards of Company I belongs the glory of winning the only honorable mention PRIVATE EDWARDS. MAJOR KECK. CAPTAIN RAFFERTY. (Heroes of the Seventy-first.] for a man in the ranks. Major Reade said in his report that this soldier “ren dered voluntary, efficacious and unre mitting care to the wounded and sick. He merits official recognition.” The name of Corporal Robert Gordon Everett of Company L belongs in the list of heroes in the ranks. He acted as orderly for Major Keck and carried or ders under fire, earning among his com rades the title of “Boy Hero of Santi ago.” After passing through all the ex posure unharmed be died at home of typhoid fever, contracted in camp. Stern and unrelenting judgment should fall upon the cowardly and in competent fellows who misrepresented this noble band that day of battle, but to Keck, Rafferty, Edwards and the rest the hand and voice of every soldier wbo knows what real war is will be raised at the mention of the Empire State boys in the taking of San Juan bill.

Odd Fellow’ Celebration. Special to News-Herald, Bi’ford, Ga., July 4, 1899. The Buford Odd Fellows cele brated the 4th hero today by a picnic. On April 20th, the time of holding the anniversary, Buford Lodge could not celebrate owing to the fact that small-pox , pre vailed ; hence the postponement to July 4th. Sister Lodges were invited, and the citizens of Buford generally. Bro. Alex. Bitter, Grand Mas ter of Georgia; Bro. A. C. Ward, Grand Chaplain : Bro. N. L. Hutch ins, Jr , of Lawrencevill" Lodge, and Hon. W. T. Smith had been invited to speak for us, and all were on hand. Bast Grand Mas ter Brand was also invited, but a letter was read from him express ing regret that he could not be present, owing to the fact that official business prevented. Early in the morning the breth ren began to arrive, until by the time for assembling at the Lodge room —9 o’clock—there was a very large number of Odd Fellows pres ent. Bro. W. M. Shelley, as Marshal of the day, organized the long procession and proceeded to the depot to meet the Grand Master and visitors, who arrived on the 10 o’clock train from Atlanta. Upon their arrival they were as signed the posts of honor in the procession, and the line of march taken up to the big spring, where seats had been provided for the people, and a stand erected for the speakers, officers, etc. Bro. M. B. Sewell, as master of ceremonies, then announced that the program would commence by singing the opening Ode, after which the Grand Chaplain, Rev. A. C. Ward, offered a most fervent and eloquent prayer. Bro. J. E. Cloud had been elect ed to welcome the Brethren in be half of Buford Lodge. The words of welcome and hospitality that fell from his lips provod the wis dom of the selection. Then Bro. W. W. Wilson, as Mayor of Buford, gave all our vis itors a cordial welcome to the City of Buford. It was not thought amiss ou this, the occasion of our nation’s birth day, to have patriotism expressed, and upon request Bro. A.C. Ward very impressively read the Decla ration of Independence,after which Bro Wilson commented on it. Then Bro.N. L. Hutchins, Jr., of Lawrenceville Lodge, No. 21, in behalf of the visiting Brothers, re sponded to the welcome address. In words chaste and chosen, he proved to the audience his adapta bility to please. • Then came the Hon. W. T. Smith, who, as everyono knows, who knows Smith of Gwinnett, made an eloquent address on the principles and practices of our be loved Order. This speech was en joyed by all. It was intended for the Grand Master to have spoken next, but the hour for dinner having ar rived, it was decided by the com mittee on arrangements to dofer his speech until after dinner. Recess for one hour was an nounced. Then such a feast, such a repast, such hospitality, was spread and tendered, enjoyed and appreciated. Everybody, old and young, Brethren and citizens, all enjoyed the bountiful and elegant dinner; until, reassembling, pleas ant conversation was indulged in by merry groups, old acquaintan ces renewed, and new ones made. Punctually at the expiration of the time set apart for recess, the audience reassembled to hear the remainder of the program. First came the Grand Master of the Stale cf Georgia, Alex. Hitter. Bro. Ditter, after a it ’"“’’“ns remarks, plunged into Odd fel lowship, making us a most instruc tive, interesting and happy speech. Truly, Bro. Ditter is a grand Grand Master, and royally wears the hon ors ho has nobly won by long con tinued service and devotion to the order. Next came Bro. A. C. Ward, Grand Chaplain, Bro. Ward is well known to Buford Odd Fel lows. His speech was grand, given with such fervor, pathos and hu mility Oh, Brother Ward, *e all love you. We know you are a bul wark in our beloved Order. Grand Chaplain, “thou good and faith ful servant, you have fought the good fight valently for Friend ship, Love and Truth.” Noble man, your reward will come when you shall triumphantly enter the golden gates of the Grand Lodge above, there forever to dwell with the Great Grand Master of us all. Next came ghort speeches by members of various Lodges. Bro. Smith, of Zion Hill, Bro. Pitman, of Centre Road, aud Bro. Merritt, of Buford Lodge, all acquitted themselves with credit to them selves and their Lodges. The Doxology was then sung,the Benediction pronounced and the congregation dismissed. Thus passed one of the happiest, most pleasant, profitable and en tertaining of days. There was not a single unpleasant ooourrance to mar the occasion. Great praise is due the choir of the Baptist church for the sweet and beautiful music they rendered all through the program. The Grand Master held a short informal reception, then the pro cession re-formed and marched back to the Hall, where Odd Fel lowship held supreme dominion for some time. We then laid our regalia aside, and wended our way homeward, happy and contented, satisfied with a day well spent. May good come of it. W. M. Shelley. “Money is not everything,” said General Howard Wood, in declin ing a salary of SBO,OOO a year of fered him by a Washington street car company if he would give up his work at Santiago and devote himself to the company's interest. As governor of the city and prov ince of Santiago, Gen. Wood only gets SO,OOO a year. He is sacri ficing $24,000 per annum to his sense of public duty. In this sor did age when everything is meas ured by dollars and cents standard, it is refreshing to find such a man as Wood, exemplifying loftier ideals. When $50,000 per annum was offered Agassiz, the great nat uralist,ho replied : “I am too busy to make money.” Would that we had more great men of like senti ments. When it is said that the mud and sand to lie removed from the New York harbor to make the new chan nel to the sea, if deposited in the East river, would be sufficient to make the river dry land from Bbore to shore, and from the Battery to Hell Gate, some idea of the colos sal undertaking may be obtained, says a New York letter. It is es timated that nearly 50,000,000 tons of mud and sand must be removed in order to make the East channel 40 feet deep and 2,000 feet wide. Congress has appropriated the mon ey, the engineers have drawn the plans and contracts are being let. In order to make the channel it is considered necessary to build new dredges, which will draw up the sand by means of suction pumps. These dredges will be 820 feet long and nearly 48 feet wide, and will have a capacity of 8,000 tons an hour. It will take a year to build the dredges,and probably two years more to do the work.

There need be, in my judgement, no apprehension as to the trusts crushing out all competition. With the exception of the oil trust and sugar trust, failure among trusts has been universal.
