E > ATORS SLOW TO COMMIT THEM
SELVES TO PLANS.
Evidently Do Not Wish to Be Bound
, A , r Treaty Mr. Hay May Nego
date—Lord I’unncefote Leaves for
[ n gland, but He Will Hardly Be
Side to Make a Very Satisfactory
Report on the Canal Question.
Washington, April 24.-Lord Pauncefote,
(he British ambassador, was in conference
with Secretary Hay at the state depart
ment to-day for an hour. In view of the
approaching absence from Washington of
Secretary Hay the ambassador was deslr
cus 0 { disposing of pending matters of
business. But the important subject of
discussion was the canal project. It is
doubtful whether Lord Pauncefote wiil
be in Washington when Secretary Hay re
turns, and he was extremely anxious to
be able, during his visit to London, to re
port to the British foreign office, not only
the exact situation here respecting the
tana! problem, but also upon the prospects
of the ratification of any convention that
be might be able to frame in conjunction
t\i;h Secretary Hay to replace the lost
Uav-Fauncefote treaty.
Secretary Hay has been at work ever
since Congress adjourned, taking sound
ings with a view to learning just what
could be expected of the Senate in case
be should) submit another treaty to that
body. But for reasons, heretofore explain
ed up to this time he has not been able
lo secure a satisfactory view of the legis
lative field. This is in large measure due
to the reluctance of some of the leading
senators to commit themselves frankly in
advance to certain ideas respecting the
canal. Therefore, Lord Pauncefote, if he
goes to London before Secretary Hay re
turns, can present to the foreign office
only a partially developed picture of the
situation here, though he may be able,
through his long experience in Washing
ton, to supplement the ideas he has gath
ered from Secretary Hay with some views
of his own that may afford the British
government the information it requires as
H precedent to initiating fresh negotia
tions for anew treaty.
DEFECTIVE ELECTRIC WIRING.
Fire Insurance Agents to Take
Action to Protect Companies.
Newport News, Va., April 24.—The
Southeastern Tariff Association, composed
of representatives of some of the largest
fire insurance companies of America, con
vened in annual session at Old Point Com
fort to-day. President H. C. Stockdell of
Atlanta called the conference to order and
read his annual report, reviewing the
work of the past year and the existing
conditions in the territory covered by the
asociation. The most interesting feature
of his report was the recommendation
that some steps be taken toward protect
ing the fire insurance companies against
losses entailed by the defective wiring of
buildings by electric light and power com
panies.
Acting upon this suggestion, a commit
tee waft appointed by the association to
draft suitable resolutions with reference
to remedying the evil and an adjourn
ment was taken until to-morrow morning,
when several papers will be read before
the body.
ACTIVITY IN PACIFIC STOCKS.

New York, April 24.—The transactions
in the shares of the Union Pacific Rail
way on the Stock Exchange to-day were

exchange for any one day's transactions
in one security. Six hundred and sixty
two thousand and eight hundred shares

cific common stock to-day were more than
two-thirds of the issue of that stock,
which is less than 960,000 shares.

Pittsburg, Pa., April 24.—Steamboat men
leaving to-morrow for the South will go
heavily armed and if their boats are fired
on from the shore the crews will return
the fire. The killing of W. T. Terry, a
carpenter, on the Pittsburg and Cincinnati
packet, Keystone State, at Parkersburg
to-day, has incensed the river men to a
ih degree of anger. Every Ohio river

THE FLOOD AT CINCINNATI.
The Ohio River Still Rising and Will
Exceed 88 Feet.
Cincinnati, April 24.—The flood outlook
in the Middle Ohio valley is not very en
couraging tonight. The danger limit of
fifty-eight feet will be passed here and
the estimated limits at other points will
be more than has been estimated. It Is
also evident now that when the limit is
reached in the middle Ohio valley, it will
be stationary for some time and the fall
will be much slower than was anticipated,
even if there shall be no second rise. This
is attributed to rising waters in the Big
Sandy, Muskingum and other tributaries
above Cincinnati.
The weather bureau tonight shows rain
prevailing in the east that may move
westward into the Alleghanies and start
anew flood in the Ohio, while its lower
tributaries began rising tonight.
Cincinnati, April 24.—At 6 o’clock to
night the stage of the Ohio here was 57.5
feet, but since 3 p, m. -the rate of rising
was reduced from one inch an hour to,
almost one-half inch an hour. The stage
at 6 o’clock is 7.5 feet above the danger
line and the rate of rising indicated 58
feet after midnight. Although the rate
of rising is gradually decreasing the flood
here will exceed the predicted limit of
58 feet. Estimates on the rise that is in
sight up the river indicate that the Ohio
xviil not become stationary until to-mor
row afternoon, when it is not expected to
exceed 58.5 feet, or 8.5 feet above the dan
ger line. Since it became evident
that the stage would exceed fifty-eight
feet there is much stir here to-night, but
there is hot the usual anxiety, as it is
evident that the limit here wlil be reach
ed before to-morrow night.
Business men and manufacturers In the
bottoms will suffer more than was ex
pected and many more families will be
driven out of their homes along the Ohio
to the south and along Mill Creek Valley
on the west and along the Little Miami
on the east side, than were anticipated In
the earlier prparations.
On the Kentucky side the interruption
to mills, factories and business is not so
great, 'but in proportion to the population,
many more have been driven from their
homes than on the Ohio side.
In the Taylor bottoms, between New
port and Bellevue, Ky., the water is up
to the tree tops and the street car lines
are compelled to transfer their passen
gers for Bellevue and Dayton, Ky. The
latter place is generally inundated, and
owing to a swell in the Licking river it is
estimated that about a square mile of
Newport is inundated.
Races Proceed on Sloppy Track.
The races on tho Newport track are pro
ceeding and will continue under sloppy
conditions. Boats are used to reach the
track.
Mayor Fleischman and other city offi
cials made another tour of the flooded
districts to-day, arranging for all neces
sary relief and protection. Fire engines
and hose carts have been placed on flat
boats ready for any emergency and police
have patrol boat*. The po
lice assisted to-day at the
funeral of John Griffin, colored, from one
of the flooded tenement houses where
boats had to be used.
The street railways have adjusted cars
lor use on the east and west sides for
rapid' transit across the flooded sections
and then transfers are made to the othe"
cars. The motors are raised so as to run
through three feet of water.
Only three lives have been reported
lost. None of the bodies have been re
covered and their identity Is not known.
The Danger Line at Lnnisvllle.
Louisville, April 24.—The Ohio reached
the danger line—2B feet—tonight, and at 6
p. m. was rising an inch an hour. The
river is expected to reach 30 to 31 feet.
The water has reached the business
houses.
VISITORS AT*LYNCHBURG.
Northern Edacntional Party Vl.lt.
Randolph-Maron Woman’* College.
Lynchburg, Va., April 24.—The special
train bearing Robert C. Ogden and his
party of Northern visitors arrived' here

The object of their stop was to visit
the Randolph-Macon Woman’s College.
The visitors were met at the station by
committees of the City Council and the
Board of Trade, and were driven In car
riages to the college, where the public hall
was crowded with the students and citi
zens of Lynchburg.
Mayor Smith made a brief address of
welcome, and Dr. Smith, chancellor of the
Randolph-Macon College, explained the
aims of the institution here. Brief ad
dresses were made by Ur. Truman J.
Backus of Brooklyn: Mr. Ogden, Dr.
Parkhurst, Bishop McVlckar, Dr. James
MacAliteter of Philadelphia, Dr. Albert
Shaw and Walter H. Page. They praised

lines.

WHY MRS. PINKHAM
Is Able to Help Sick Women
When Doctors Fail.
How gladly would men fly to wo*
man's aid did they but understand a
woman’s feelings, trials, sensibilities,
and peculiar organic disturbances.
Those things are known only to
women, and the aid a man would give
is not at his command.
To treat a case properly it is neces
sary to know all about it, and full
information, many times, cannot bo
given by a woman to her family phy*
Mrs. G. H. Chappell
s’.clan. She cannot bring herself to
tell everything, and the physician ia
at a constant disadvantage. This ia
why, for the past twenty-five years,
thousands of women have been con
fiding their troubles to Mrs. Pinkham,
and whose advice has brought happi
ness and healtn to countless women in
the United States.
Mrs. Chappell, of Grant Park, 111.,
whose portrait we publish, advises all
suffering women to seek Mrs. Pink
ham’s advice and use Lydia E. Pink
ham's#Vegetable Compound, as they
cured her of inflammation of the ovaries
and womb ; she. therefore, speaks from
knowledge, and her experience ought
to give others confidence. Mrs. Pink
ham’s address is Lynn. Mass., and her
advice is absolutely free.

WILL STAND BY THE NEGRO.
John S. Wise Moves to Retain Col
ored Help of Union League Club,
New York, April 24.—Between 400 and
500 members of 1,800 belonging to the Un
ion League Club of this city met to-night
at the club house to take action on the
question as to whether or not white ser
vants should be employed to take the
place of the colored ones whose services
have been engaged since the formation of
the organization. Some time ago the
house committee had the question before
it and in a report which it made to the
meeting to-night recommended that the
colored help be dispensed with. When tha
matter came up for discussion ex-Con
gressman John S. Wise offered a resolu
tion to the effect that the colored em
ployes be retained. There were speecnes
pro and con, but finally Mr. Wise's reso
oiution was adopted by a vote of nearly
three to one.
The matter h f s caused a great deal of
comment of late because ot the previous
historic position of the Union League
Club as a participant in the struggles to
free the negfoes from slavery and aa
champion of the negro in subsequent
years.
NEW ROAD FOR VIDALIA.
Citizen* I’loased at the Pro*peet of
One to Dublin.
Vldalia, Ga., April 24.—The citizens of
Vidalia are highly elated over the pros
pects of anew railroad from Dublin to
Vidalia. The preliminary survey has Just
been completed to this point.
Vidalia has been satisfied for some time
that If a line was run from Dublin to tne
Seaboard Air Line that this was the nat
ural junction point. The line would not
only be shorter to this point, but would
traverse the best section of farm and tim
ber lands. v
The Citizens Bank of Vidalia will be
ready for business in a very few days.
The charter has been granted. The money
paid in and the officers elected. They
only wait now on their vault and supplies,
which will arrive shortly. This section of
Georgia is developing rapidly and the bank
expects to start oft with a flattering busi
ness.
Despite the recent cold snap which has
undoubtedly killed a lot of fruit and a
large portion of the cotton which waa up,
tire farmers are in good heart and realize
the benefit to be derived in better prices
for a shorter crop.
VIRGINIA NOT AFFECTED.

ONENESS IN CHRIST
DR. ALEXANDER SUTHERLAND AT
NEW ORLEANS,
M.E.MISSIONARY CONFERENCE
DISTINGUISHED DIVINES IN AT
TENDANCE.
The Address Based Upon Christ’s
Words on Night of His Betrayal.
May Not All Be in tine C-hureh,
hut May lie One In Him—Bishop
Thobnln’s Plea for Missions—First
Protestant Bthle Ever Sent to
Mexico on Exhibit.
New Orleans, April 24.—The opening ses
sion of the Central Missionary Conference
of the Methodist Church, South, at Tu
lane Hall to-day drew an overflowing oud
lence. The attendance of visitors from
other cities was very large. Bishop E. R.
Hendrix of Kansas City, presided.
On the platform were Rev. James At
kins, Rev. Alexander Sutherland, Bishop
Granbery, Bishop Thoburn, Mrs. E. J.
Lambuth, missionary to China and Japan,
and others. Rev. John Wesley Tarboux,
in charge of the evangelical work in Bra
zil, offered the invocation. Rev. Alexander
Sutherland, secretary of the Board of
aOnadlan. Missions of Toronto, spoke on
the subject "Oneness in Christ.”
"This theme arises out of the. words
spoken by Christ on the night of his be
trayal, when he prayed, ’That they all
may be one.’ Some interpret these words
as meaning the organic union of all
Christ's people In a visible body. This is
inadequate. Christ’s Kingdom is from
within. His supreme desire for his dis
ciples could not have concerned Itself with
the mere externals of religion. What he
desired for them was unity of spirit. This
cannot be created or maintained by ma
jority of conferences and synods,
or compromises between opposing fac
tions. It is the product of the mighty
work of his spirit. It is intelligible to us
upon grounds of experience. Every true
beiiever has just such a union with Christ
who is the head. This unity of true be
lievers with their Lord gives another
phase to the subject of organic union.
As they are in all churches, to gather
them into one is manifestly impossible.
Who can decide who they are? But he
wishes them to be one In Him. Can we
do anything to forward this? First, we
need a mighty deepening of spiritual life
in the church. Divisions arise out of a
low type of experience. Our religion
may be too superficial. A great deepen
ing of spiritual life is the crying need of
the hour. The bearing of all this
on the missionary problem is manifest.
Every revival of missionary zeal
has been preceded by earnest, persistent
prayer and a deepening of spiritual life.
The choosing and sending out of mis
sionaries by the Holy Ghost, as in the
case of Barnabas and Saul, gives the true
apostolic succession. Co-operation in work
for the world’s salvation will give us the
best results of organic union. Christ
said: 'lf I be lifted up, I will draw all
men.’ It may be men are not drawn
because our preaching does not lift up
Christ. Some have lifted up the church
and not her Lord; the creed and not Its
object, the crucifix and not the Christ.
But these will not satisfy the world. Only
Christ can do this.
Bishop Granberry spoke on Obedience to
the great commission, “Christ’s law of
life to His church.”
Rev. John Fox followed with an address
on “The Bible and Missions.’’
Bishop Thoburn was the preacher at
night, speaking upon the healing of na
tions, or the agency of the Holy Spirit.
It was an earnest plea for missions and
predicted that the coming year would see
wonderful results In China. Dr. Suther
land’s prayer concluded the day's session.
The main hall is decorated with mission
maps and mottoes and there la also a mis
sionary exhibit, to which Bishop Gallo
way has added the first Protestant Bible
Tsent to Mexico, which also secured the
first convert. Prof. W. A. Hemphill is in
charge of the large choir trained for the
event.
LITTLE BOY DRANK CREOSOTE.

Atlanta, April 24.—Little Willie Thomas,
the 3-year-old son of Mrs. W r . C. Thomas,
died this afternon, a half hour after he
had drank the contents of a vial of creo
sote which one of the inmates of his

governor and ex-superintendent of public
instruction of Virginia, died at his home
in Albemarle county this evening, aged 82
years.
He was one of the fathers of the read
justment movement In the state, subse

Sale of Millionaire Rice’s Effects.
New York, April 24.—The sale of the
personal effects of William. March Rice,
the Texas millionaire, who died in this
city on Sept. 23 last, was begun to-day
by order of John P. O’Brien, temporary
administrator of the estate. The sale will
not be concluded for several days.
CHEW FOOD,
Chewing Preserve# the Teeth and
Helps Digestion,
The finest specimens of teeth are seen
ln animals and human beings who chew
the food thoroughly.
Dentists agree that teeth must be used
to properly preserve them and therefore
they urge people to chew their food
thoroughly, but the nervous, hurried man
ner of eating Is altogether too common
among people arid when fed on soft
mushes they are liable to swallow the
food without chewing.
Dyspepsia and bad teeth are the result
of this practice If continued. True one
can eat soft food without detriment If the
necessity of chewing is remembered.
Grape-Uuta food is so crisp and brittle
and withal so pleasant to the taate that
Ihe user can not forget to chew and thus
the teeth get Ihe necessary use and the
glands of the gums are made to give the
juices that Nature intend* shall be mixed
with the food before it enters the stool
ach. A New York doctor says many
New Yorkers put a little sugar on oat
meal and then cover with Grape-Nuts,
and this method compels the chewing nec
essary to digest tha oatmeal.
Grape-Nut* food Is pre-dlgested and
also help* In digestion of other food.
The doctor's plan might do for a variety,
but Grape-Nuts end cream alone ara con
sidered ideal by hundred* of thousands of
brainy people
There are other reasons why thowe who
aat Grapa-Nuta look nourished and well
fed. Th* food is made of parts ot th*
Held grains whirl, nature makes uar ot in
rebuilding brain and win tenters Proof
will follow us*.
MAY BE A SOUTHERN MOVE.
Charter for Atlanta-Blrmlngham
L4nc Applied for.
Atlanta, Ga., April 24.—Notice of an ap
plication for charter for the Atlantic and
Birmingham Air Line Railway, to run
from Atlanta to Birmingham, will be pub
lished to-morrow. The incorporators are
L. B. Nelson, J. J. Spalding and others
of Atlanta, and it is supposed that the
new road Is being built In the interest of
the Southern, though none of those whose
names appear in the application for char
ter will say anything about it. The capi
tal stock of the new company will be
$500,000, with the privilege of increasing It
to any amount desired on a two-thirds
vote of the stockholders.
Mr. Spalding said to-night that he was
not at liberty to say at present who is
backing the new road, but that tt will cer
tainly be built. The charter asked for in
Georgia simply requests permission to
build from Atlanta to the Alabama slate
line, a distance of about sixty miles,
through the counties of Fulton, Campbell,
Douglass, Carroll and Heard.
THE STATE SANITARIUM.
Angtmta. Contractor to Erect New
Buildings for $140,500.
Mllledgeville, Ga„ April 24.—The Board
of Trustees of the State Sanitarium, pur
suant to a call made some thirty days
ago, met at that institution to-day at
10:30 a. m. The meeting was called for
the purpose of receiving bids for the erec
tion of the new buildings for the colored
Inmates.
The board went to its work early and
was kept quite busy during the entire
day. A number of bids were received,
and the care and' attention given, to tha
details of each bid made the meeting a
long and tedious one. After a careful con
sideration of the bids submitted the con
tract was awarded to Mr. T. O. Brown of
Augusta, his bid being $140,500. It is not
known whether this bid was tbe lowest
submitted or not. The work is to com
mence at once, and Mr. Brown is to be
given twenty-four months to complete
the contract.
GIVEN UP WITH REGRET.
Her. Mr. Neighbor Goes From Dnb
-11 it to a Church In Amcrlcua.
Dublin, Ga., April 24 —The people learned
yesterday with genuine regret that Rev.
R. E. Neighbour had decided
to accept the call of the First
Baptist church at Americus and
would leave Dublin June Ist. For
two years Mr. Neighbour been pastor
of the Dublin Baptist church and dur
ing that time has endeared himself to
every one in this city irrespective of
denominational lines. Mr. Neighbour who
was formerly a missionery to Brazil, Is
a hard worker in the church and is an
earnest consecrated Christian. He re
fuses to allow the churches he serves as
pastor to fix a salary for him, nor does
he allow the members to be assessed for
the support of the pastor, but accepts as
his support only so much as Is voluntari
ly offered at the morning services each
Sabbath. Although the Dublin Baptist
church only paid the pastor that preced
ed Mr. Neighbour S6OO per annum, the
members have given him more than
$1,200 each year he has preached here
for his support. The people of Dublin
give him up very reluctantly, but he
states that he thinks it hts duty to ac
cept the call of the Americus church and
they know it will be useless to endeavor
to try to persuade him to remain. He
came to Dublin from Baltimore. It is
rumored that Rev. M. A, Jenkins of
Macon may be tendered the call of the
Dublin church. He was called to the
pastorate of this church in 1899, but de
clined. It is believed that he would ac
cept the call at this time, however, if
it was tendered to him.
Dr. J. F. Reynolds, who came to Dublin
some months ago and commenced the
practice of osteopathy in this city, has
closed up his office and returned to hi*
home Kirksville, Mo., the people here
not taking to the new fad sufficiently to
more than assist the doctor to keep the
wolf from the door. His assistant. Miss
Dr. Freddie Gillespie, has also left the
city for her former home at Franklin,
l<y.
The cards are out for the marriage of
Mr. E. C. Cowart to Miss Martha Hart
field May sth. next.

BISHOP HANDY
SAYS
"! Cheerfully Recommend Peruna to All Who Want a
Good Tonic and a Safe Cure for Catarrh.”
Prominent members of the Clergy are giving Peruna their unqualified endorse
ment. These men find Peruna especially adapted to preserve them from catarrh
of the vocal organs which has always been the bane of public speakers, and gen
eral catarrhal debility incident to the sedentary life of the clergyman. Among
the. recent utterances of noted clergymen on the curative virtues of Peruna is the
fallowing one from Bishop James A. Handy, D. D., of Baltimore:
“I take grout pleasure In acknowledging the enrntlve effect* of
Peruna. At the solicitation of a friend I used your remedy and
cheerfully recommend your Peruna to all Who munt a good tonic and
a safe cure for catarrh.”—James A. Iluudy.
OTHER NOTABLE CURES.
A Husband Escaped the Pangs of
Cetarrh of the Lungs.
Most Cases of Incipient Consumption
Are Catarrh.
Edward Steven*.
Mrs. Edward Stevens of Carthage, N.
Y., writes as follows:
"I now take pleasure in notifying you
that my husband has entirely recovered
from catarrh. He is a well man to-day,
thanks to you and Peruna. He took six
buttle* of your medicine as directed, and
it proved to be Just the thing for btm.
His appetite 1 good and every thing he
eats seems to agree with Mm. His cough
has left him and he is gaining in flesh,
and seeems to be well every way. I hope
others will try your medicine and receive
the benefits that we have.”—Mrs. Edward
Stevens.
When the catarrh reaches the throat
it is called tonetlltis, or laryngitis. Ca
tarrh of the bronchial tubes is called
FITZSIMMONSES AT PEACE.
I'iiglllst’s Watch Which Han Down
Hronglit About Reconciliation.
From the North American.
Washington, April 21. Bob Fitzsimmons
anil hie wife have made lt up, and lt was
all brought about by a watch that ran
down. Th* watch was Fitz's, Since Tues
day night's row he has been Inconsolable,
and when not actually on the etage has
gone around In a daze. He forgot every
thing, even to the winding of his time
piece. He was to leave on the 10:50 train
this morning for Cleveland. He arose
rather late, ate his breakfast and then
consulted hi* watch. Th© hand* told
him it was 10:35 o’clock, Just time enough
to catch the train. Fitz Jumped in the
elevator, went to his apartments and cast
a reproachful look at Mrs. Fitzsimmons,
who appeared oblivious to his presence.
He gave an Inward groan, gave little Bob
a kiss and a hug and calling hts big dog,
Beauty, to him started for the depot.
“The train for Cleveland?” he Inquired
of the usher there.
“Gone ten minute* ago,” was the reply.
Fitz glanced at the big railroad clock.
It was Just 11. Then he pulled out his
watch; It was still 10:35. He put the
watch to his ear, as he had so often put
it to little Bob'* in those happier days.
There was no ticking; It had stopped. The
next train would not leave until evening.
Bob returned to his hotel. A he neared
his room he heard a sniffing that made his
heart leap with Joy. He peeped through
the half open door. Mrs. Fitzsimmons had
her face burled in her handkerchief. She
was weeping. Little Bob had his arm
around his mother’s neck and was plead
ing, “Don’t cry, mamma.”.
The pugilist-actor took three great
strides and caught the sobbing woman in
his arms.
"Rosie,” he cried, as he kissed her, dan
gerously near where his (Ist had landed
but five short days ago, "forgive he!”
"What, you back!" she exclaimed.
“Why, what has happened?”
“I could not leave you angry,” he said.
This was a whopper; but could a man
explain at such a time that he had merely
missed a train.
Little Bob was standing off at a distance
now,- watching the scene with wfde-onen
eyes.
“Papa,” said the precocious youngster,
"you haven’t been kissing your wife in
the play like that lately. Why don’t you
plump her In the mouth that way at ev
ery performance? The house would Just
tumble down.”
"Robert,” said the pugilist-actor, stern
and dignified, "go talk to Beauty for a
while.”
Then Mr. and Mrs. Fitzsimmons talked
business. She is going to their hom* at
Bath Beach, N. Y., for a time. Bob went
to Cleveland to-night.
