>ii3 s Too Many Want Depevc.
Doesn't Bare Work, llluck In.
lllnck Retiree Gracefully.
New York, Dec. 29. —Chauncey Mit
chell Depew of New York will succeed
himself for a term of six years as
United States senator from the ’state
nf New York, continuing as the col
league of Senator Thomas C. Platt,
who has still four years to serve.
The formal announcement of this
conclusion was made late this after
noon at the Fifth Avenue Hotel by
Gov. Odell as chairman of the Repub
lican State Committee, and came as the
culmination of a series of conferences
by prominent Republicans extending
over several weeks, and practically
continuous during the last three days.
The purport of the announcement is
that the candidacy of former Gov.
Frank S. Black of Troy, which has
been warmly pressed by his friends
during the past fortnight or more. Is
to be withdrawn, and that the name
of Senator Depew will be the only one
presented to the caucus of Republi
can legislators which will select the
party’s candidate for senator.
Gov. Odell’s formal announcement,
which is regarded as closing the con
troversy on the subject, gives it as his
conclusion that ‘‘party harmony will
best toe subserved by the re-election of
Senator Depew,” concedes that the
sentiment favoring his selection is very
strong throughout the state, and de
clares that ‘‘it would have been the
worst kind of party generalship to
have run counter to this expressed
public opinion.”
Late in the afternoon a letter was
given out, addressed by Mr. Black him
self to Senator Depew, in which the
former Governor withdraws his name
from further consideration for the sen
atorship and declares that in this
course his duty as a Republican and
his private sentiments coincide, for
he protests that his private interests
and personal tastes have both been
distinctly against entering a contest or
even accepting public office, even if it
tame without controversy.”
In a graceful letter of reply, Sen
ator Depew thanks Mr. Black for his
cordial sentiments and declares that
the former Governor’s action places
the party under great obligation to
him.
BROXTON MERCHANTS
DECLARE BANKRUPTCY.
Elias Lott and J. D. Anderson Are
Seeking Relict.
Brunswick, Ga„ Dec. 29.—Referee
May Isaac to-day received two appli
cations for voluntary bankruptcy from
merchants of Broxton, Coffee county.
One of the applications was that of
Elias Lott, a general merchant, who
has been conducting a business at
Broxton for several months. He places
his liabilities at $6,447.67, with assets
amounting to $3,628.00. Mr. Lott asks
for a homestead of $1,600.
Nearly all of the creditors of the
bankrupt are in Savannah, several
firms in that city being affected by the
failure. The only Brunswick firm in
terested is the Downing Company, who
are scheduled among the creditors, the
amount being $240. Judge Isaac took
up the case to-day and J. J. Rogers
was appointed receiver and 'will im
mediately take charge of the business.
The other application came from J.
D. Anderson, also a general merchant,
who places his liabilities at $5,115.69,
and his assets at $3,639.67. Lawson
Kelly of Douglas, was named as re
ceiver in this case and he is now in
charge of the business. The bankrupt
asks for a homestead of $1,600.
The case of E. L. More of Pearson,
who failed a few weeks ago for $144,000,
will be tried at a session of the court
to be held to-morrow. This is the
largest case that has ever come up
in Judge Isaac's district. The many
creditors are scattered in all sections
of the state, many of them being in
Brunswick and Savannah. At the
meeting to-morrow a trustee will be
named to take charge of the business.
NOT EASY TO SOLVE.
Will Require Best Efforts of Best
Whites and Negroes.
Memphis, Tenh., Dec. 29.—The negro
educators seem to be a unit In declar
ing that the solving of the much dis
cussed problems of to-day will require
the united efforts of the better class
of white people and the better class
of negroes, both North and South.
Among the numerous subjects dis
cussed to-day was "The Teachers in
the Community,” by Prof. Frank Trigg
of Princess Anne Academy. Maryland.
Prof. Arthur W. Mitchell, principal
of the West Alabama Normal and In
dustrial Institute. Greensboro, Ala.,
and perhaps the youngest principal in
the South, was introduced and deliv
ered an address. He made a plea for
the young men of his race.

Reports of various committees were
heard and voted upon. The Committee
on Chapter House Ownership recom
mended plans whereby all chapters
jvoula be enabled to secure permanent
homes. The Committee on Exten
sions recommended that chapters be
granted bodies at George Washington
University at Washington, D. C.; the
Lmversity of lowa, and Cates School
at Cleveland, O.
Birmingham, Ala., was selected as
the next meeting place of the frater
nity.
The final session was followed by a
notable banquet at which covers wore
laid for 300. The principal address of
the evening was delivered by Judge
Jacob M. Dickinson, formerly of
Nashville, now of Chicago, who is gen
eral counsel of the Illinois Central
Railroad.
Judge Dickinson in the course of his
address reviewed the history of Sigma
Alpha Epsilon Fraternity from its or
ganization at the State University of
Alabama in 1856 and dwelt especially
upon the efforts of the society to ef
face sectional feeling between the
North and South, and the gratifying
results accomplished in this direction.
The speaker continued:
"To-day on the surface and political
ly there is more sharp sectional feel
ing than existed five years ago. This
is, I believe, largely the result of mis
understanding and exaggeration. The
President has gotten out with the
South, or the South has gotten out
with the President, or they have got
ten out with each other.
‘‘The President touched a sensitive
nerve in the South. The response was
prompt and in the opinion of many
the outcry was exaggerated. Issues
were thought by many to be evoked
which were tremendous and destruc
tive. The President, in a fearless, im
pulsive, honest way, acted on abstract
propositions and from his point of
view no man could successfully an
swer him. The South had to deal
with the same question, not abstract
ly, but modified by conditions of facts,
that the outside world does not read
ily accept in the full sense that the
people of the South understand them.
“While the President would not, I
'believe, sacrifice a principle for mere
expediency, yet he would not hesitate
to take a large view of conditions
which he understands and subordinate,
If necessary, a principle, if the working
out of grander results, equally found
ed in justice and right, demanded it.
Now that he is re-elected, has re
nounced all further aspirations for the
presidency, has nothing to fear and
nothing to hope for politically, except
the honor or dishonor that will follow
his name as a public servant, his words
and acts should be judged free from all
partisan cautiousness.
‘‘While for political reasons I voted
against Mr. Roosevelt, I never doubt
ed for a moment that his patriotism
embraced the entire country, and while
I hold no brief for him, and am In no
sense his spokesman, I know and know
It absolutely, that the bitter personal
abuse heaped upon him by many who
claimed and appeared to represent the
South, has aroused In him no feeling
of revenge or malice. He has shown
himself great In many ways, 'but In no
respect greater than rising above the
petty feeling of men of little souls. I
am confident that if he shall be met
by the South with the same spirit that
animates him, there will be a good
understanding that will redound to the
welfare of the whole country."

RESCUED THE CREW OF
STEAMER NORTHEASTERN
Vessel Left to Pound to Pieces After Life Savers
Had With Difficulty Effected the Rescue.
Norfolk, Va., Dec. 29.—After being
imprisoned on the wrecked oil steamer
Northeastern, nine miles off Cape Hat
teras, for thirty-six hours, Capt.
Wilder and his crew of twenty-one
men were taken ashore at noon to-day
by the crews of Kinnakeet, Creeds
Hill and Hatteras life saving stations.
The big steamer is pounding on Dia
mond shoals under a terrific sea and Is
given up by the crew as a total loss.
In a bewildering fog Tuesday night
the Northeastern, on her way up the
coast from Port Arthur, Tex., to New
York, with a cargo of crude petroleum,
shoved her prow into the deadly sands
off Hatteras and was fast in the
clutches of the graveyard of shipping
before her crew realized what had
happened.
This was at 11 o’clock, and before
day had come the gale that swept over
the country from the Middle West had
struck the sea and waves were crash
ing over the helpless vessel incessant
ly.
The force of the wind and tide threw
her on her port beam, and the flood of
water extinguished her fires before her
Inflammable cargo could become ig
nited. Had this not been the case, the
twenty-two men aboard the North
eastern would have met a horrible fate
with no possible chance of escape.
When morning dawned the wreck
was sighted by the life savers and the
weather observatory at Hatteras. She
was nine miles off shore and the water
between was a seething mass of moun
tainous waves. No surf boat ever
CHILD LABOR IN SOUTHERN MILLS
WAS TREATED OF INTERESTINGLY
Philadelphia, Dec. 29.—Diet, as a
factor in the prevention and cure of
consumption, the negro race problem,
child labor question in Southern mills
and a number of other themes of equ'al
interest formed the basis of some of
the many papers read before the sec
ond day’s session of the American As
sociation for the Advancement of
Science.
Edward L. Blackshear of 'the Prairie
View State Normal and lusdustrial
College of Texas discussed “Some sur
vivals of primitive racial Instincts in
American negioes.” He said the edu
cation needed by the negro is one
that will develop character, a sense
of personal responsibility and a sense
of the Inviolability of personality. As
a solution for the race problem he
said he would suggest simply educa
tion, experience and the scattering of
negroes over the country.

TWO FRIENDS HAD
COMMITTED SUICIDE.
One Left Menangei Other Marked
tlie Scriptures.
New York. Dec. 29.—The bodies of
two men who had registered as George
Weber and George Brown, and who,
the police say, had evidently commit
ted suicide together, were found late
to-day in a room in a Bowery lodging
house. Both men were about 32 years
old.
Beside Weber was a vial containing
cyanide of potassium and a note say
ing: "If I am successful in my •t
--tempt it is the only way out of !t, as
I can see I am friendless and hopeless.
When I am found please get me out
of the way as soon as possible.”
In Brown’s pocket was a letter ad
dressed to the coroner and in hts com
panion's pocket was a copy of the
Gospel of St. Luke, on the fly leaf of
which was written:
"If you abide in Me and My word
in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and
It shall be done unto you.”
Theory of Money Dlaensaed.
Chicago, Dec. 29.—“ The Theory of
Money” was the topic discussed by
the American Economic Association at
the University of Chicago to-day.
Prof. J. L. Luughlln of the University
of Chicago, David Klnley of Illinois,
and A. Platt Andrew of Harvard read
papers. The afternon session was de
voted to a discussion of the "Open
and Closed Shop," papers being read
and speeches made by a number of
college professors, business men and
representatives of the trade unions.

built could have lasted one minute in
such a sea. and the life guards on the
coast had to stand by helplessly and
watch the big ship being pounded by
the waves. During Wednesday night
the wind diminished, but the tempera
ture dropped about 20 degrees, adding
to the suffering of the crew.
This morning at sunup the hardy
life savers began their attempt to get
a surf boat to the ship. Again and
again the lifeboats were sent, head on
into the sea, only to be caught up by
a monster wave and hurled back on
the beach. Human determination con
quered the elements after a three-hour
struggle, and at 9 o’clock three life
boats, with their brave crews, were
safely across the breakers.
When the surfmen reached the wreck
they were confronted with a problem
of great danger and difficulty. The
sea, while it had subsided to some ex
tent, was still in an angry mood, and
the little life boats were being tossed
like cockleshells about the helpless
mass of steel. Lines were finally
strung between the boats and the
Northeastern, and every man was
taker, from the vessel In safety. It
was over six hours before the first of
the boats reached 3hore again. The
almost exhausted crew was cared for
by the Hatteras life savers.
No statement could be secured from
Capt. Wilier to-night owing to the
fact that the coast wires were broken
shortly after the barest facts concern
ing the rescue were obtained. The ves
sel, it is said, will be a total loss.
The Northeastern is a steel, ocean
steamship, built in Chicago in 1901,
and is owned by C. Counselman of
Cincinnati. The Northeastern sailed
for Port Arthur Dec. 7 from New York,
arrived on Dec. 17, and sailed the same
day.
Prof. A. J. McKelvey, assistant sec
retary of the National Child Labor
Committee, read a paper on "Child La
bor in Southern Mills.” After calling
attention to the condition of compara
tive well being that exists among the
children of the South, he said there are
more children under 16 years of age
working in the factories of Pennsyl
vania than there are In the Southern
states put together. One reason why
the percentage of child workers to
adult workers is large in the South is
that the percentage of children Is large.
While Massachusetts has 600,000 more
population than Georgia, he said, the
Southern state had 100.000 more chil
dren of school age than the New Eng
land state.
The South, he said, is leading the
country in wages, compared with the
cost of living. In sanitary conditions
and In other ways, though there are
some conditions which exist that ought
to be wiped out. It was his opinion
that child labor was not a sectional,
but a national, evil.
“BOBS” SAYS BETTER
MEN SHOULD SERVE.
London, Dec. 29.—“ The Army as It
Was, and as It Is to Be” is the text
under which Field Marshal Earl Rob
erts, in the January Nineteenth Cen
tury, reads Britons a noteworthy lec
ture on the duty on all classes if Great
Britain would meet the demands of
modern warfare.
Earl Roberts does not favor con
scription, hut says a better class of

Earl Roberts says the report of the

Denver, Col., Dec. 29.—8 y the ac
tion of the state canvassing board in
Issuing certificates of election as sena
tors to Casimero Barela and Henry
B. Millard, the Republicans have se
cured such absolute control of the
General Assemply that it is now re
garded in Democratic circles as high
ly probable that Gov. James H. Pea
body will be re-seated. The Republi
cans plan, it is said, to accomplish this
by throwing out the vote of ail Demo
cratic wards in Denver and counting
the vote of the Republican wards.
Although the members of the can
vassing board refused to say hew they
stood on the proposition to go behind
the returns. It has been learned that
one member, State Treasurer Whitney
Newton, was opposed to tho action
taken. Those who voted in favor of
unseating Democratic senators elect
are: Gov. James H. Peabody. Secre
tary of State James Cowle, Attorney
General N. C. Miller and Auditor J.
A. Holmberg. All the members of the
board are Republicans.
Judge Carpenter Appeared.
District Judge Samuel L. Carpenter
appeared before the Supreme Court to
day in response to a citation requiring
him to show cause why he should not
quash the alternative writs of manda
mus issued by him against the state
board of canvassers and explain why
he assumed jurisdiction in disregard of
the opinion and Judgment of the Su
preme Court. Judge Carpenter issued
the writs in question requiring the
board to accept the returns from Las
Animas and Boulder counties, which
showed the election of the Democratic
candidates for the Senate after the Su
preme Court had refused the Demo
crats permission to file a mandamus
suit and ordered the lower courts not
to interfere with the canvassing board.
Judge Carpenter explained that he
did not know the full purport of the Su
preme Court’s decision when he Issued
the writs and admitted that the high
er court's order made It obligatory to
dismiss the proceedings in the district.
This explanation was accepted and the
citation against him was dismissed.
Koine Republicans May Stick by
Very few members of the Legisla
ture have yet arrived In the city, and
whether the plans of Wllltam G. Evans
and other Republican leaders to reseat
Gov. James Peabody will be adopted
by a majority of the Republican mem
bers Is still undecided. The Republi
cans have an even two-thirds of the
votes on Joint ballot, and can carry
any measure on which they are united.
A Republican caucus probably will
toe held next Monday, at which the
plan to continue Gov. Peabody In offle*
will be considered. Some Republican
members, known as followers of Ed
ward O. Wolcott, have declared that
while they do not contemplate a union
with the Democrats under any consid
eration, they will oppose vigorously
any plan for keeping Adams out of
the governorship.

DID NOT KNOW WHAT
THEY WERE DOING
When They Signed Hie Presentment
Against Bishop Talhot.
Philadelphia. Dec. 29.—Dispatches
from Huntingdon, Pa., u>-night state
that some of the Huntingdon signer*
to the presentment against Bishop Tal
bot have repudiated the presentment,
and say that it was never their In
tention to sign a paper of the charac
ter that has appeared in the press. If
this be true, the proceedings must be
dropped, as a presentment of the char
acter made against the Bißhop must
contain the names of at least three
persons from the diocese in which the
accused Bishop lives. It is said the
paper was signed by the Huntingdon
men under a misapprehension, they be
lieving that they were assisting in clos
ing a long controversy and not one
In which their Bishop was to be
brought to trial.
“Can a bishop or ought a bishop
write defamatory letters in secret In
order to Injure any member of the
ministry?” This Is the question which
will be decided at the meeting of the
Committee of Inquiry in the ease of
Irvine vs. Talbot, said the Rev. In
gram N. W. Irvine to-day.
In discussing the motive of his dep
osition. Dr. Irvine said that it was be
cause he had persistently refused to
serve communion to Mrs. Emnm D.
Elliott of Huntingdon, Pa., who Is di
vorced, against the wishes of Bishop
Talbot. Dr. Irvine salrl: “The canons
of the church provide expltclty that a
man or woman divorced on any
charge, except that of adultery, which
must be proven beyond the bounds of
reasonable doubt, cunnot receive the
holy sacrament. In the face of this
Bishop Talbot covertly and by secret
meetings with Mrs. Elliott, who is a
woman divorced on the grounds of de
sertion. sought to have her remain in
tho church.”
Dr. Irvine denied all the charges In
the Upjohn letter.

Eggs ns Food.
From Medic**l Talk.
Almost everybody cats eggs. There
Is perhaps no article of diet that is
more commonly eaten In al! countries
than eggs. Hens' eggs are used more
than any other kind, although some
people eat duck eggs, goose eggs and
the eggs of the guinea fowl. Turkey
eggs are not so often eaten; they are
generally kept for hatching.
Eggs are said to be a perfect food,
the same as milk—that Is, containing
all the food elements necessary for
the growth and maintenance of the
young chick, Just as milk does for the
young animal. While It is true, of
course, that the egg does contain all
the elements necessary for the young
chick, ye* It would riot follow that these
elements are In the right proportion
for the sole nourishment of an adult
person. That eggs are a splendid food
Is not to be questioned, but that eggs
alone would furnish sufficient diet for
a grown person is hardly probable.
Eggs consist of protelne and fat,
water and mineral matter. It Is the
protelne or nitrogenous matter that
builds up and repairs the tissues of the
body, while the fat supplies energy.
The white of an egg is often said to
be pure albumen, but It also confatns
phosphoric acid and sodium chloride
or common salt. The yolk contains
the fatty part of the egg. phosphorus,
calcium, magnesium, potassium and
Iron. Eggs also contain sulphur, and
this probably ‘accounts for the dark
stain left by eggs on silver, the sul
phur coming in contact with the silver
forms silver sulphide.
Eggs are very eslly digested. Raw
eggs are more quickly digested than
cooked eggs. Soft boiled eggs, roasted
eggs end poached egga are more easily
digested than fried or hard boiled eggs.
The stomach will digest a i9w gg in
from one and a half to two houra. Soft
boiled and roasted egga require from
two and a half to three houra, while
hard boiled or fried eggs must be al
lowed from three and a half to four
houra for digestion.
Eggs furnish a good substitute for
meat, and we believe It would be far
better for the average person If egga
ware more frequently used In place of
meal. Especially do *hey make a light,
nutritious dish for breakfast, in
stead of the usual bacon or ham or
aauaaga.

LITTLE WARS.
Some Korsottrn C’nniiinlann The
Wnr of n Day.
From the Hand Glass.
A one day’s war! There Is a pleas
ant sound about It when 'one recalls
wars which have lingered on for years.
Yet this almost record short war em
braced two battles. It wan In 1843 that
the Mahrattas imperiled the peace of
our great Eastern possessions, and
more especially the Punjah, by main
taining, despite all protest, a standing
army of 80,000 men, backed up by nu
merous cannon which had been equip
ped in their own foundries and arse
nals. When hostilities did open, how
ever, it was scarcely anticipated that
the Mahrattas would face our troops
In buttle, but right gallantly did they
confront the twg British divisions con
verging on them, and the two battles
may be said to have lasted between the
tilting and setting of the sun. the Mah
ruttas in the end being routed with
great loss. A curious feature of one
of these fights, which had opened un
expectedly, was the presence of ladles
mounted on elephants, and they had
to be hurried to the rear amid the
whistling of bullets.
A singular struggle earlier in the
century was that between the Belgians
and the Dutch, which, so far as the
former were concerned, was really a
war of Independence. For long their
conduct had been exemplary, despite
the harsh treatment meted out to them
by their masters the Dutch, but at last
there were eloquent signs of restless
ness, Surely never did a war have
a more dramatic Introduction. The
celebration of the Dutch King's birth
day had come round, and the Brussels
people awoke one morning to And the
town placarded over with flaring red
bills, which read: "Monday, Fire
works; Tuesday, Illumtnatlooi; Wed
nesday, Revolution.” Wednesday
came, and a tnse thrill of expectation
swept through Brussels; but the hours
quietly slipped past, and brought noth
ing uncommon. In the evening, how
ever, people flocked to the grand the
ater to witness a patriotic play which
the police had almost forbidden to b#
played, and the great building was
packed with a seething mass of hu
manity.
The applause was very frequent, and
almost frantic in its intensity, and
long before the play flnished a large
section of the audience could no long
er contain their feelings, but marched
out Into the street, being added to by
the crowde outside. Brushing aside
the police, they visited the residences of
everyone known to be of Dutch sym
pathies, and played sad havoc with
their property. Next day Bruasels was
in open revolt, and fortifications were
hastily thrown up In the principal
streets In preparation for the Inevita
ble coming of the Dutch army. When
the latter did enter the town their
welcome left much to be desired. From
nearly every window firearms, stones,
quicklime boiling water, and even ar
ticles of furniture were discharged on
them, while from the security of lofty
roofs sharpshooters picked off man aft
er man. What all these little atten
tions failed to do the forces behind
the barricades did. and again and
again had the Dutch to retire precip
itately. For the greater part of a
week street fighting of the most san
guinary nature prevailed, varied by an
occasional bombardment, but the un
trained Belgians were holding on so
grimly to the positions throughout It
all that the Dutch withdrew baffled,
and the singular struggle came to A
triumphant end for the defenders.
—At the recent Inauguration of Dr.
Flavel 8. Luther as president of
Trinity College. Hartford. Conn., this
story was told by a student. Two or
three weeks ago Dr. Luther waa rid
ing on a street car In Hartford whan
he law a student crumpled up In a
corner. The young man was In very
bad plight. Hla clothing was stain
ed. hla linen aoilad, hts hair un
brushed. Ilia face waa pallid and bis
eyes were bloodshot and dull. He look
ed 111; he looked a wreck, and It was
easy to see what the trouble waa. Dr.
Luther, fresh and vigorous front hts
bath and hla good breakfast, rose to
gat off. As ha passed the unclean
student ha said grimly: "Been on a
drunk.” The student's sleepy eyas
rolled languidly toward Dr. Lot bar,
and In a dull and Ila tie as voice the
young lean said “Mo have I.”
