It is understood a brick warehouse will soon be ereci ,-n the cast corner of the triangular . k between Plant avenue, Tebeau street, and Jane street. TANARUS! advent of the fourth bank in Way r .s lias created some little rivalry and if. nnpelltlon has resulted in the benefit , [ the patrons of the banks. The Citizens Ba K started out by cutting in half the tr.ge allowed on foreign ,'hecks. The other banks here charged exchange on ell paper except Savannah and New York. This has all been done away with now, a ,i depositors are not required to pay ex change on checks on any bank in the Tnitc-d States. The First National and tt> Bank of Waycross to meet the Clti jens' Bank and go it one better, decided to do away with the exchange. Sunday was a red letter day for the lOiered j>eople of the Magic City. Bishop H. M. Turner, was the center of attrajtion, m i during the day delivered a number of short addresses at the African Methodist Fl '. opal Church where all day services were held. Quite a number of Waycross people rx;e t to visit Indian Springs next week, on the occasion of the Holiness camp meeting. which begins July 19. Among those who expect to* go are Rev. T. M. Christian and family, Mrs. Bibb. Mrs. Cason. Mrs. Crowley. Misses Faye Warde, Bulah Hillard, Hattie Grace, Maggie Crowley, Josie Meara, Nora Burke* and Mrr W. H. Miller. Rev. G. W.

Georgia State Troops, has addressed a communication to Capt. J. Mcß Farr of the Waycross Rides, asking permission for Capt. Punn of Brunswick to bring Company G. First Georgia Regi ment. here for rifle practice at the range in Reedeville. Capt. Farr lias replied granting permission for the use of the runge. and the Brunswick boys will be here one day this month and one day next month for practicing at the Reedsvills range, which is conceded to be the best in the state outside of Savannah. The Knights of Pythias of Waycross and Blackshear will unite in a big excur sion and picnic at St. Augustine. Fla., to morrow. From 100 to 200 will go from Blackshear and probably twice that num ber from this city. Agnthen-Brailley. The marriage of Miss Mamie Bradley and Mr. Henry Agathen, took place to night in Trinity Methodist Church. The Waycross Rifles, of which the groom is a member, attended in uniform. The military company marched down the aisles and formed in a circle near the al:ar. followed by the ushers. Messrs, Edgar Pittman. T. P. Bird. John Brad ley and Sain Walden. Then came the flower girls. Misses Mattie McDonald and Olffola Folsom, and after them the bridal coupß The wedding march was played by Mrs Bullard. The ceremony was performed in an im pressive manner by Rev. M. F. Beals, pastor of the Methodist Church at Reeds viile. He was one of the first pastors of this church, and a special friend of the bride's family. The bride and groom will spend awhile at Cumberland Island, after which they wilt return to Waycross, which wlil be their home. The presents received by Mr. and Mrs. Agathen were numerous and handsome. VAST SIMS FOR BRIBERY. The Secret Service Fonda of the Great Power*. From the London Mail. One of the most unpleasant duties of Parliament is the voting every year of a sum of money for secret service. Every one knows that it is to be used to bribe traitors and reward spies, and there is nothing an Englishman o much detests as a traitor or spy, even when he is working for our own government. Consequently our secret service fund Is probably the smallest In the world. I/ast year it amounted to only 113,000. and not vary much bribery can be effected with that But some years ago it was three or four times that autn. and some au 'toritics appear to hold the opinion that the interests of the state would be better s-r.ed if it amounted to fIOO.WO Instead of £13.000. The spending of this money is one of those few secrets which is really kept. Parliament votes the money. It is paid irnoiho treasury. Then permission is given 'o the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, the Secretary of the Colonies, the Home Sec retary and the Irish Secretary to draw on it as they require it, each being allow ed a certain fixed fraction of the whole amount. Suppose our ambassador Ire Russia sus- P<’ 's that certain preparations are being nade to seize a Persian or Chinese port, and he wants to get some secret informa tion. He draws whatever sum is necee try to pay to a spy, but no one except knows to whom he poye it. Many M. P.'s have objected to the pub l;r money being spent in this way. and year after year they try to obtain infor niuilon as to whom it Is paid. But of course to make the names public would render the fund perfectly useless. Hut the most suspicious tax-payer may be assured that the money Is properly l>ent. As a matter of fact, not mueh more than half of the money is ever ex pended, the balance being returned to the exchequer. Moreover, the secretaries of s'ate are under oath to spend the money I unestly. When a secretary of state lz clotted his share he has to take the fol lowing oath before a commissioner: I swear that the money paid lo me for foreign secret service, or for detecting, Preventing and defeating conspiracies ogatnst the state, has been bona fide ap li and to the said purpose and no other." The reason this oath has to be taken is ' at at one time It was suspected that the wcrei service money was being used for ' ,cl ‘oneering purpose* and for pensioning kovernment favorites. At present most of the money is spent , y our ambassadors In foreign countries. j order to know what kind of a foe she KOSTETTEHV* "- P* CiIEIIATED pepsla or eny k . * rr„ rriKJ to. - *ll Etß* M rear,.

Great Britain must bo r.uioo acquainted with the detail of for eign arm the power end range of their gnns, their new invention? in powder, shells, torpedoes, submarine boat?, and the like. The country must also know what ar*- the intention? of other countries toward her. ond if antagonistic, endeavor to thwart them. Very valuable information of inis kind can only be obtained by bribing an offi cial of a foreign nation, and the amount which one country will spend to get such infotmatlon may be gathered from the fact that Great Britain paid £40,000 for a copy of the Treaty of Tilsit between France and Russia. B'oreign countries spend enormous sums on secret service. France, Germany and Russia have their agents everywhere, and there are very few secrets of any nation which they do not know, for it is, un fortunately. the case that in the employ ment of ail governments there are men willing to betray their country for a con sideration. The sum spent by Russia on secret ser vice does not fall for short of £750,000 an nually. Germany and France each spends close on to £500.000. Italy nearly *£250,000, and Austria about the same. The expenditure under this head of smaller states, such as Belgium, Holland. Denmark. Norway and Sweden. Switzer land. Spain and Portugal, is greater than that of England the average fcum for each being about £IOO.OOO. Lord Salisbury the other day said that the Transvaal spends fBOO,OOO a year on secret service. This estimate is about one-sixth of the tctal revenue of that country. The whole amount spent in Europe, Asia. •Africa nnd America on secret service can not fall very far short of £5,000.000 annual ly, and it is not a pleasant reflection for the honest taxpayer that so much of his earnings is l expended in trying to make traitors of men. WEATHER STORIES OF LONG AGO. It I* Probable There Were Many FsagKerntions Then a* !\ow. From the Popular Science Monthly. We find the “early” and the "later" rain to-day in Palestine precisely as de scribed 3,500 years ago. "Jordan over tlows all its banks" in February to-day exactly as it did in Joshua's time, thirty three centuries ago. Plants taken from mummy cases In Egypt, which mnst have been gathered more than 5,000 years since, are practically of the same size and have the same appearance as those growing to-day. Records of vintages in France for over 700 years show practically the same dates as to-day. Actual observations of rainfall for over 200 years at St. Peters burg show no change appreciable to us. though, of course, the earliest observa tions were of extremely crude and some what unreliable. Facts of this kind might be adduced to fit a small volume. On the other hand, we have records of most extraordinary cold weather In an cient times. One winter the light wine In France froze. Another winter the River Po froze over so as to bear teams (an un heard-of phenomenon to-day). In this journal for June it is stated that "Par nassus and Socrate, now free from snow, were covered with it in classic antiquity.” Also, "the name Greenland, which strikes us as so singularly inappropriate, was not inapplicable at the time it was named, in the fourteenth century.” It is entirely probable that descriptions of the cold in ancient days were much exaggerated. Parnassus and Socrate have snow at times, and in earlier days, when protection against the cold and snow was much less than now, a little snow would go a long way. The earlier voyagers from Iceland, more that! 1,000 years ago. leaving a land of almost perpetual ice and snow, and reaching a land In the sum mer with its beautiful green color, to the unaccustomed eyes would very natural ly give the name of Greenland to it. In the summer time, it is said, Greenland presents a most beautiful green near the Danish settlements to this day. Our old est inhabitants who have been wont to describe the terrible cold and deep snows of their boyhood days which does or can occur to-day, completely lost their reck oning in the last winter when reading of a ship that had sunk In New York har bor by weight of the ice upon It; also that Washington, had had thirty-four inches of snow on a level and the lowest temperature ever noted in that fair city. A careful study will show no appreciable change in the climate of this earth since the early historic times. Of course, noth ing here adduced touches climatic changes in glacial times or in prehistoric times, which changes have been established be yond question. HOW SLA\(i BECOMES POPULAR. ASany Word* In the English Lan- C nnu<- Were Once Tabooed by Scholars. From the New York Commercial Adver tiser. Language is being made so fast In the e (lavs that it is unsafe for purists to for mulate lists of words that are unfit for l>ollte use. A writer in the London Acad emy contends that many words rejected of the purlfls are really rough-hewn stones that are necessary to fill crevices in the language and (hat the critic who would exclude them Is ignorant of his culling. William Cullen Bryant's long list, published many years ago and widely consulted ever a nee. the Academy cr.tic oljects to as a bag filled with bones of contention and llatle to rattle whenever It is touched. The difficulty seems to be that while any reputable list of this kind is pretty sure to be authoritative in part, evidence of use of forbidden words by some great author or some author of growing fame is likely to crop up at any time and put the seal of respectability upon any mcn gr l word that one has been accustomed to point the finger of scorn at. If you nnd Swift. Cray or some picayune care per for verbal precision is trying to os tracise you feel like associating with that word. Besides, some of lh< se rude but healthy oftshools of the language are do ing special duty, and after proving their fitness for It will be Just as fit for good verbal society as the rest. What is the difference between an offi cer and an official? "Official” Is nothing better than a lame cur of a word In the estimation of some people, but w-e ar? to and tKW that it Is perfectly proper; that It has Its place—ls. in fact, the square peg for the square hole. An "officer' 1 Is a man of recognized badges and known duties; an "oflleiar’ Is a man of more and sguiacd an indefinite power. The work of society, the subdivision of labor, has been making this distinction while you, in your Ignorance, didn't know what was going on. An "officer” appears on parade ground or on deck in uniform; an "offi c a!" comes forth from a quiet office, wearing a frock coat and top hat, and he can in.ik - you feel lie Is an offic al If you run up against that reserve pewer of which you sec no outward manifestation In spurs or gold lace. General Miles Is an "officer." John D. Kockfeller la an "official." Verbal purists should keep in mind the constant manufacture of dis tinctions that la going on. THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JULY 11, 1900, HOLY RELICS. home fi ll of reminders of EARLY CHRISTIANITY. It* legend? Are Many—Every Me mento Credited With Fo??r??inA Miraculous I’on <*r—The >adonr n Painter. Rome Letter to the Chicago Tribune. If the stranger with inclination for fig ures were to form the plan of starting, one early morning, ort a tour of inspection round the churches and other religious places of Rome for the purpose of count ing the relics that are preserved therein and of chronicling the various virtues and properties which are said to be possessed by them ond other equally interesting particulars concerning their origin and hfslory, he would find, if he placed his plan into execution, that, at the end of a week's incessant work, he would have h { s notebook pretty well tilled, and that the list of churches would not by any means be exhausted. To calculate how ? many of the Iknes of St. Peter are religiously pre served in many churches of Rome, and bow many miles of cloth could be formed if all the pieces of St. Joseph’s tunic were placed together, would be. to say the least, an arduous labor without reckoning the brain-softening computation of the manl fcld virtues alleged to be possessed by each relic or the compilation of the mar velous legends connected with it. Fnitli in Relic? Dyliift. The faith in religious relics was more prevalent among Romans many years ago than it is now. The development of edu cation, the introduction of rational and positive science, ond. also o certain quan tity of incredulity which came as a sequel to the downfall of priestly domination, have instilled in the larger portion of the population of Rome some doubts. amoun‘- ing almost to entire unbelief, os to the identity of nnd the miraculous properties possessed by the relics exhibited in the churches. Naturally there ore some peo ple with whom this faith is still unshaken and whose religious convictions will not aliow them for a moment to doubt the tilth of the legends that are connected with the relics; but, on the whole, mod ern Romans are becoming extremely skep tical with regard to prodigies, and it would appear that the march of enlightenment had swept away a good deal of that mor bid hankering for the eupernatura! which vulgar natures, especially, retain in good measure, to meke room for more whole, some and logical knowledge and aspira tions. Mark Twain in his “Innocents Abroad,” has endowed with sufficient notoriety the piece of stone existing in the little church piece of "Domine Quo Vadis,” on the Ap pian Way. upon which, it is said, the Sa vior had left an impression of his foot prints on that memorable interview with St. Peter, who was fleeing from Rome oeoause the plade had become too hot for him. The value of the relic as historical evidence will be vastly appreciated by those who uphold the opinion that St. Pe ter never was in Rome. The Sancta Sanctorum, a building sit uated near the Basilica of St. John Eat eran, contains a host of interesting relies, among which is the Holy staircase, com posed of thirty-three steps, taken from the house of Pontius Pilate. This stair case, which Is said to be the same the Savior ascended, was and Is actually as cended by the faithful on their knees. The original stone steps are cbvered with wood en ones, and now and then a cross marks the spot where the Savior's blood stained the stone underneath. A Horrible Belie, An uncommon relic is preserved in the Church of San Loronzo—namely, the blopd and fat which dripped from the gridiron upon which St. Lawrence was roasted, and at the Church of San Pietro, in Vin eoli, where stands, or. rather, sits. Mi chael Angelo's "Moses," there are preserv ed the chains with which St. Peter was bound. It is stated that when found these chains were broken in several placbs, but. on the ends being placed close to each other, they miraculously became united once more as firmly as if the best spelter had been applied. The same church has also the honor of preserving the bodies of no less eminent personages than the Mac ca bees. Then there Is the miraculous water, which, at St. Peter's command, sprang in the Mamertime Prison, or In the sub terranean chambers of the church of Santa Maria, in Via Lata, and the three fountains, where St. Paul was beheaded, and the fountain of oil that sprang In a most unaccountable manner on the site where the ancient church of Santa Marla. In Trastevere, now stands. These mar velous fountains are known to all visitors, and are included in the lengthy catalogue ot the sights of Rome. There ere other relics, whose astound ing properties and miracles have made them the subject of wonder and venera tion. At the Basilica of St. Paul, for In stance there Is a crucifix which, in the fire that consumed the ancient church, was miraculously preserved from the names, and which is alleged to have spoken to St. Brtgid of Sweden. But all the visitors to this city are doubtless acquainted with the famous baby of the church of the Aracoeit. This cele brated image of the infant Savior is made of painted wood, and many legends are connected with it. It Is said that it was once lost, or stolen, and that one night, some time afterword, a kno.k was heard at the door of the Aracoeli Convent, and on opening ihe baby walked in and went to the place it had occupied, without aid, The baby Is said to possess the most ex traordinary powers of curing sick per sons. When the resources of medical sci ence are exhausted this Image Is token to the bedside of a dying person, and it Is believed that the figure changes color when brought close to the sick man. If It shows a healthy pink tint, the ultimate cure of the patient Is certain; if, on the contrary. It turns of a pale hue, death is Inevitable. In the church of S3. Cosma and Da miano in Forum, there is an image of the Virgin, which once spoke to St. Greg ory, and reproved him for not having sa luted It. This occurrence was afterward narrated in Latin verse by the venerable Bede. Several other Interesting and curious r*!lcs are preserved In the various churches of Home, and the faith of the visitor Is often put to a sevrre text as to thrlr identity. A certain stone shown in the Church of (San Giacomo, near piazza Scossai avalll, Is said to be the one upon which the Saviour was clrcum cPei; another stone, exhibited In the ( hurih of St. Anna. Is said to be the I'er.t cal one upon which Abraham pr'* land io aicrlhc- Ids son Isaac. An other stom, s tuated in the center cf the Church of Smta Siblna, on the Avenllne, Is said to have been thrown by Satin himself from the roof of a house, upon Ihe innocent head 0 f St. Dominique, who was praying in a gar den below. Thf legend further narrate# that as a matter of course, the aalnt escap?d without injury, as saints usually did in those days whenever they were a - by the evil one. Pointed by the Saviour. But of all the curious legends connect ed with sacred pictures, there is one which, above all others, deserves to be cited. Jn the Church of Saint Sylves er, in Capite. during the K.gthteenth cen tury, there was exhibited and venerated a picture, the portrait of the Saviour, paint and by himself. However astonishing this may appear, the legend was firmly bel eveti by the faithful of a hundred v ais ag; and the picture, being con sid red worthy of occupying a more dig n fled position among a celled on of th** n.ost important relics, was at the end of lhe last century removed to Saint Peter s, where many of the most celebrated relics a*-e rclig'Ox sly preserved. HOW PEKIN IS FED. Condition? Affecting the Posulble Starvation of the Legation Inmate?. From the Ixndon News. Among the dangers io which the foreign population of Pekin is exposed must be included that cf is food supplies being entirely cut off by the insurgents. At or dinary times the city is very greatly de pendent upon frozen meats brought in from Mongolia on the lacks of cames. The Mongol market, adjoining • lie Brit sh legation, is the rendezvous for innumer able “strings” of camels and their half savage drivers, and on this unshtltend plot of sandy soil, just within the city walls, may be seen, exposed for sale the oarcas es of sheep, strangely contort'd, which have been skinned while warm and left out to harden in the severe frost of a Mongolian night prior to transporta tion to the Chinese capital. Partridges and other game are similarly prepared for transit to Pekin, and are purchasable in the frozen state throughout the long North China winter and well into spring In the hot season live animals are driven into Pekin and slaughtered according to demand, but the bulk of the food supply is at all times derived from places at a distance, even from b a vond the Gr.*at Wall, there bring but little produced within the coniines of the vast city itseh save root crops, and those on a small scale, derived from the fields that occupy part of the space known as the Wai chung. i. e.. the Chinese portion, and se parated by a cross wall from the Nui chung or Tartar City. How important is the daily supply by canud caravan of the necessaries of life to Re Pekines* may be guage 1 from the fact that over ten thousand “ships of the desert.” on an average, enter and leave the gates of the capital every twen ty-four hours. Ride out at whatever time one may choose, it is certain that long “sir ngs” of there useful beatsts of hurden. the leading quadrujKd bearing between its humps a Manchurian driver and at its throat a bell, and followed by a score or so of its fellows, the head of each animal roped to the tail of the pre ceding one, will be met with beyond the walls, either bound inward to market or hound outward to the hills. The last of the string likewise bears a bell, and its Cnkle assures the leading driver that none cf his charges have broken loo r o. In the plight of the Chinese capital to day it Is almost certain that the ordinary traffic, canot be carried on. The roads t) the northward, as well as those entering from the east and south, are in the pos session of the Boxers, as witness the d's * ruction, reported some days ago. of th** British Ambassador s summer residence, which was situated a little to the north west of Pekin, at the of the near est range of hills. it is true that the camel traffic has of late years been appreciably dlminshed by Hie facility wiih which supplies rould be brought up from the coast by railway, but it has by no means been abolished, and the ra lway not having been avail able for some time past, owing to the operations of the Boxers, the probability Is that the inhabitants of the capital hav to rely more than ever upon their Mon golian market for the m-ans of existence. If it be true that the rebels secured the approaches to "Legat on street." and th>' quarter In which all ihe foreigner resi dents were congregated, last week, it is certain that provisions cannot have ben conveyed to the beleaguered garrison, and save for the trifling stocks that may have be tr accumulated within the "corn rounds" of the various embassies, there s nothing, unless relief comes, but star vation or submission lo look forward to. Submission to a Chinese mob. it is almost needless to say. would be only another form of extinction. So long as the ammunition for the Max ims held out. however, and so long as the Chinese were unable to mount cannon Upon the city walls to play upon the le gations from the adjacent and command ing heights thereof, it is certain that a stout resistance to the onslaughts of the howling rabble will have been offered. Beyond this all is conjecture, and the pos sibilities are too appall ng to be contem plated with calmness. Ftsli Eggs Hatched by Hens. From the London Chronicle. According to a German weekly paper, which devotes a column to things scien tific, the hens of China lead busy lives. When not engaged in hatching out a brood of their own kind, they are. says this au thority, put to the additional and novel leek of hatching fish eggs Chinese cheap labor collects the spawn of fish from the water's edge, puts it In an empty egg shell, which Is then hermetically sealed with wax and placed under the unsuspect ing and conscientious hen. In a few days the eggshell Is removed and the spawn, which has been warmed into life,lemptied into a shallow pool. Here the fish that soon develop are nursfd until strong enough to be turned Into a lake or stream. Then the hen that hatched them may catch them If she can. MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
