Thing Certain.
Men may question the authenticity
tif this or that book in the Bible; they
may flout the story of Jonah and the
whale; they may evade questions of
faith and doctrine; they may refuse as¬
sent to the gospel narratives; they may
■hide themselves in the m< itaphysical
■mazes until the existence of God fae-
comes uncertain to them. But there
is one thing that cannot be questioned,
or flouted, or evaded, or hidden from.
There are no metaphysical subleties
that can hide a man from death.—
Voice.

ENGLAND IS SOMEWHAT DISTURBED
The Cretan Committee in Crerce Semis a
Torpedo Tlotllla to Cntiea—The
Saltan Caters l*rotest.
Advices from Athens, Greece, state
that in the chamber of deputies Thurs¬
day Premier Delyann is said that either
the porte would be prevented by the
powers from sending re-enforcements
to Crete or would persist in sending
them there.
In either case, the premier added,
the Greek government had decided to
take action promptly and decisively.
When Crete demanded a union with
the mother country, ho said, Greece
could not remain indifferent.
At the conclusion of the remarks of
Delyannis, tho leader of the opposi¬
tion, assured the premier that the gov¬
ernment would have the heartiest sup¬
port of the opposition, which assur¬
ance evoked prolonged cheers.
The Cretan committee are making
preparations on a large, scalo to land
men and munitions of war upon the
shores of Crete, and tho first install¬
ment of six hundred men embarked
and sailed Wednesday evening.
JZng'lnntl In Apprehensive.
The I’all Mall Gazette, commenting
on tho Cretan situation, says there is
abundant foundation for tho belief
that tho sending of the Greek flotilla
to Crete is looked upon by the British
government ns a matter so serious as
to threaten consequences of the great¬
est importance.
In view of the fact that the action
of Greece was entirely independent
and taken without conveying the
slightest notions of her intentions to
the powers, The Gazette says Lord
Sftlisbury may be relied upon to take
prompt ami decisive measures to neu-
tralize its effect.
Protest From Turkish Minister.
Assim Bey, the Turkish minister at
Athens, visited the foreign office, and
acting under instructions from liin
government, made a protest against
the dispatch of the Greek torj cdo
flotilla to Crete.
Assim Bey was treated with the ut¬
most courtesy, and was informed, so
far as diplotnany allowed, of the alti¬
tude of Greece on tho Creteu question.
His protest,’however, w as, so far as
known, productive of no result. The
Greek government will not recall (he
flotilla, and furthermore a second flo¬
tilla will soon start for Crete.
Tho troubles in the islands liavo
caused many of tho residents to flee to
Greece for safety. Since the outbreak
began fully 8,000 Cretans have arrived
at the Piraeus.
Many of tho refugees are unable to
care for themselves and the govern¬
ment will be compelled to extend aid
to them.
( ARSON IS THE BATTLE GROUND.
rrl/.o JFfght Promoter Stewart Is Now at
the Nevada Town.
Dan Stuart, the promoter of the
fight between Corbett and Fitzsim¬
mons, arrived at Carson City, Nev.,
Thursday morning, and after a confer¬
ence with those interested, stated pub¬
licly that the fight between Corbett
and Fitzsimmons would take place in
Carson.
On being asked if he thought tho
place could accommodate tho immense
crowds, Stewart replied:
“ I have looked into the matter care¬
fully in every way and consider the
facilities ample for accommodation
and transportation of the crowd. The
climate in this beautiful valley is all
that mortal could wish."
The sito of the pavilion has not as
yet been selected, but it is thought it
will be inside tho city limits,

GROWERS ASK PROTECTION.
farmers Who liaise Sea Island Cotton
Want Duty I'nt on Imports.
There was a large and thoroughly
attentive and appreciative inectiugheld
at Blackshear, Ga., Thursday by the
farmers of Pierce county to consider
the present ruinously low prices of ■ a
island cotton and to devise, if possible,
some prices. means After to considerable bring about better
resolutions discussion,
thusiastically were adopted, unanimously which, and en¬
in part,
are as follows:
“Whereas, Sea island cotton has
now reached a price at which it cannot
be produced at u profit except in a few
favored eases which are notable ex-
ceptions to the rule, notwithstanding
ive, the growers, labor hard from early
morning till night, day in and day
out, year in and year out, and still are
not able to provide our families with
the necessities and advantages to which
they are justly entitled: and,
“Whereas, The price is now 20 per
cent lower than one season ago and 40
per cent lower than two seasons ago,
during which period the crop ha .« iii-
creased in size from 75,000 bales to
105,000 bales; and,
“Whereas, In ail probability a
larger crop will mean that prices next
season will bo 20 per cent lower (ban
they are now, judging from the expe¬
rience of the last two seasons, and as
prices are now below the cost of pr<
auction, we look with fear into the
future; therefore, be it
“Resolved, That we, growers of sea
island cotton in Pierce county, unite
for self-protection into an organization
to ho called the Sea Island Cotton
Grower’s Union, whose object shall be
tlireo-fold, viz.:
“First, to produce sea island cotton
at less cost; second, to produce sea
island cotton of bettor quality; third,
to use all means in our power to in¬

The state department, has been noti¬
fied that the Spanish authorities will
accord Sylvester Seovel, the Now York
World correspondent arrested in Cuba,
a trial before a civil tribunal. The
trial, however, must take place origi¬
nally in Santa Spiritus.
The law, like that of the United
States, requires the trials to take place
in the same province where the of¬
fense was committed. It is probable,
iu case the verdict is against Seovel in
this trial, an appeal will be entertain¬
ed which will permit of the removal of
the cas6 to Havana, according to the
desirxi.f Consul General Lee.

\Y. NYarhutton, formally charging him
with tho murder of Arthur Preston, in
Australia, praying for a warrant for
Butler’s arrest and a decree of extradi¬
tion after Butler’s examination.
The new complaint is an extreme
precaution against tho result of the
failure to make out a case in the pres¬
ent extradition proceedings.

SENATOR SHERMAN IS ANXIOUS
TO DISPOSE OF THE M ATTER.
REPORT ON BLACK-WATSON CASE.
Tho Contest Decided In Favor of Major
Black-—Other Doings of Congress.
Some Brief Notes.
The senate Thursday passed bills to
provide for times and places for federal
law trials in Oklahoma and for the re¬
tirement of enlistmed men in the army
and navy after thirty years continuous
service, at three-quarters pay. The
diplomatic consular appropriation bill
was taken up. An executive session
(for the consideration of the arbitration
treaty) was begun at 1:30 o’clock. As
Boon as the arbitration question was
called in executive session Senator
Turpie secured the floor and began to
speak in advocacy of the treaty. He
discussed the matter in its various
phases and was listened to with close
attention. Just before the adjourn¬
ment Senator Sherman notified the
senate that it was time an agreement
was reached when tho final vote should
he taken. Mr. Sherman asked if unani-
mows consent could not he ha:l for
some day next week. Mr. Morgan,
the most persistent opponent of the
treaty, demurred. A colloquy follow¬
ed between these two senators, with
others occasionally putting in a word,
in which it was apparent that Mr.
Sherman would bo unable to secure
any kind of agreement, and he there¬
fore gave up his effort.
Without preliminary business the
house Thursday considered the fortifi¬
cations bill. Mr. Bartlett (democrat),
of Georgia, on behalf of the elections
committee No. 1, submitted a unani¬
mous report in the contested election
ease of Watson vs. Black from the
tenth Georgia district in favor of
Black. Mr. Bartlett stated he would
call up the case at such time as was
convenient to the contestant. A bill
regarding the funding of the debts of
the territories aroused much opposi¬
tion because it had a gold stipulation
as regards Arizona, and the result was
a long financial discussion.
The senate, Wednesday, devoted the
time prior to counting the electoral
vote to a discussion of Mr. Tillman’s
bill to give each state absolute control
of the liquor traffic, so that it may ex¬
ercise police control of foreign-made
as well as home-made liquors. Messrs.
Mills and Vest opposed tho bill as in¬
house terfering with interstate commerce. A
bill extending the time for com-
plying with the requirements of the act
forfeiting railroad lands, was passed
on motion of Mr. McBride, of Oregon.
It applies to lands on the Northern
Pacific. After returning from the
electoral count the senate took up tho
Nicaragua canal bill, Mr. Morgan,
its (democrat), of Alabama, speaking in
favor, at the conclusion of which
he withdrew the bill, giving notice
that he would press it at an early day
of the extra session.

NOTES.
Spain has promised to release Julio
Sanguilly, sentenced in Cuba to life
imprisonment for alleged conspiracy
against its government. Secretary
Olney has received from Madrid nn
answer to the representations lie made
through Minister Taylor several weeks
ago to the effect which is given above.
According to the official report from
Naval Constructor Linnard of his ex¬
amination of the cruiser Brooklyn af¬
ter her bottom was exposed in the
League island dry dock, that vessel’s
injuries ate more serious than at first
reported, and it will probably take
three weeks to remedy tlio damage at
an expense which may reach as high as

There is a market awaiting American
oak lumber in France, according to
United States Commercial Agent An¬
gel! at Bonbaix. Ho says in a report
to tbe state department that one firm
alone stands ready to take $400,000
worth annually in place of Hungarian
oak, if proper connections can be
mado with American lumber exporters.
The government of Venezuela lias
retained Hon. William L. Scruggs as
its agent in the handling of its ease
before the arbitrators created under
the treaty which has just been signed.
Some light is thrown on where the
seeds go and their amount by a recent
br/xytin from the agricultural depart¬
ment. The figures show that vegetable
and field seeds were sent out last year
sufficient in quantity to plant 227,316
acres—this in addition to the large
quantity of flower seeds. In all there
was sent out 1,290,000 pounds of seed.

reports, proposes to have tho election

Novel Present for the Sultan.
The Smithsonian Institution lias de¬
cided to make the Sultan of Turkey a
present of a life-size figure of a Sioux
Indian chief. The figure will repre¬
sent a chief arrayed for a war dance in
war blanket ami moccasins with his
costume decorated with a profusion of
beads. If the Sultan had picked a war
chief at the height of his glory from the
band in Dakota lie would not have a
more realistic specimen than the one
prepared for him at the Smithsonian
Institution.
When Secretary Langley, of tills in¬
stitution, made a trip to Turkey in the
summer of 1895 he was accompanied
by Dr. Cyrus Adler, tihe famous orien¬
talist, The Sultan presented them with
several albums of magnificent photo¬
graphs, and intimated that he would
be only too glad to send a contribution
to the National Museum.
It was naturally thought proper that
these courtesies should be reciprocated.
nnl Secretary Langley came to tiie
conclusion that there could be no more
appropriate gift than one that would
be typical of tihe Aboriginal life of rlii.i
country. Orders were given to con
struct the figure* of a Sioux chief, ant)
tills, after long care and study, 'lias just
been completed. The figure will be
boxed ail'd shipped, freight prepaid, to
the Sultan this week. It will be Ac¬
companied bv a number of articles used
in domestic and martial life by the
Sioux.
A New and Novel Leg.
A European experimenter lms pro.
diK’o.l ■an-artSficinl leg. It as nearly re-
schlblcs a human member as any that
can be devised.
This artificial leg is a curious con-
trivanee of hinges, screws and elastic
hands. Extending downward from
about what in 'the human leg is the
ankle, to a point midway between the
heel and the instep, are two steel ro.Tx,
placed one in front of the other.
One rests on a sort of roller hinge,
and allows the foot to give or head
with each step. The other serves the
purpose of bringing tlie foot back into
place after tlie .-'top is taken.
Any lateral movement of these rods
is prevented by the sides of the slot
through which they move. A screw
and n nut at the top of the rod also
prevent the rod from turning and thus
giving trouble in walking. An artificial
heel tendon is placed within the foot,
behind (lie ankle joint, and extends
loosely through a hole in the leg.
where it connects with a nut about
midway up the limb.
Where He Drew the Line.
Among the first stories recorded by
Mr. T. E. Pritt in his “Angler’s Bas¬
ket,” is one about a Scottish laird who
was relating the story of a tine fish he
had caught one day to his friends at
tho dinner table. “Donald,” said he
to the Servant behind his chair-—an
old man, but a new servant—“how
heavy was tho fish I took yesterday?”
Donald neither spoke nor moved. The
laird repeated the question. “Weel,”
replied Donald, “it was twal’ pund at
breakfast, it had gotten to achteen at
dinner-time, and it was sax-and-twenty
when yo sat down to supper wi’ the
captain.” Then after a pause he
added, “I’ve been telliu’ lees a’ my
life to please the shooters, but I’ll be
blowed if I’m going to tell lees noo,
through my old age, to please the
f ushers.”
Slighted.
Tlie great actor looked very much
offended,
“These exclaimed. people must be barbarians,”
lie
t 4 AVhat makes you think that?”
“I have been at this place for three
hours and nobody knows who I am.”
“How can you tell?”
“I haven’t had any requests for a
pass to the show.”

Interesting Historical Document.
In the Treasury Department at
Washington has recently been found
the original warrant, dated 1825,
which directs the Treasurer of the
United States to pay to General Lafay¬
ette the sum of $200,000 for his ser¬
vices in the Revolutionary War. The
document is badly torn, as well as
much faded, and bears the indorse¬
ment: “Received Payment, Jan. 11,
1825. Lafayette." The warrant is
drawn as follows:
“To Thomas Tudor Tucker, Treasurer
of the United States, greeting:
“Pay to Gen. Lafayette, or order,
$200,000, being the amount allowed
him in consideration of his services and
sacrifices in the War of the Revolution,
pursuant to an act of Congress con¬
cerning him, approved 28t'h of Decem¬
ber, 1824, agreeably to a certificate of
(he Controller of the Treasury, dated
January 8, 1S25, recorded by the regis¬
ter, copy whereof is filed in my office.
For so doing this shall bo your war¬
rant. Given under my hand and the
seal of the treasury, this eighth day of
January, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and twenty-
five, and of independence r.ho forty-
ninth.
“WILLIAM A CRAWFORD,
“Secretary of the Treasury.”
One of Mrs. Pink ham’s Talks
Concerning a Mother’s Duty to Her Young Daughter. Together with a
Chat with Miss Marie Johnson.
The balance wheel of a woman's life is menstruation. On the proper per¬
formance of this function depends her health.
Irregularity lays the foundation of many diseases, and is in itself symptom
£7Jd of disease. It is of the greatest importance that regu-
larity be accomplished as soon as possible after the flow
is an established fact.
-
Disturbance of the menstrual function poisons
•V the blood. In young girls suppression develops
latent inherited tendencies to scrofula or con¬
W- sumption, and no time must be lost in restoring
A I regularity. Many a young girl goes to her grave
As- because this difficulty has been thought lightly of,
r;>„ IjjM and mother has said, “Time will bring about a
m i cure; she is young, I don’t worry about her.”
Mother, when you see your daughter languid
and indifferent to things that usually interest a
Wi 1 young girl, when you note that flush on her cheek,
mz that glassy appearance in her eyes; when’ your
fn daughter tells you that even the weight of her
W dress waist oppresses her, and that she has terri-
A ble pains in her stomach shortly after eating, don’t
ignore these signs*! If you do, you will be i'ollow-
iug you?- daughter to the grave, for she will die*!
This is gospel truth—she is developing consumption of the bowels ! ;
Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Compound is the greatest regulator known
to medicine. Make haste to use it on the first appearance of the tell-tale
symptoms; it will restore all the female organs to their normal condition.
Miss Marie Johnson’s letter to Mrs. Pinkham, which follows, should inter¬
est all mothers and young ladies. She says:
“My health became so poor that I bad to leave -t

1 ou sec, to start with," caifl a Cleveland, Ohio,"compositor, my work
' ihat of setting type at the case—allows me little chance for exercise,
and is too confining for .anybody who is in the least subject to indiges¬
tion or dyspepsia. I hat has been my trouble lor years, and I attrib¬
ute the recent noticeable improvement in my physical condition to the
occasional use of
RSPAMS Tabdes
I first hc.ird of them through a fellow-workman who, on hearing my
tale of woe, one day offered me a Tabule and said he would guaran¬
tee it to act on the liver. I took il under protest, but was surprised
with tiie result. It was gentle but effective, and since -then 1 have
gradually I think noted an entire change in the working of my system, and
troubles that this Ripans Tabules are the best remedy for in liver and stomach
side of anywhere. They arc really my case a substi¬
tute for physical exercise.”
After a Firo Remember
That in a seriouS'burn, as soon as the
fixe is extinguished, the clothing must
be removed.
That if not already thoroughly wet,
the injured part should be drenched
with water and the clothes cut away.
That in case of fire and severe bums,
much can be done to relieve the suf¬
ferer before the arrival of a physician.
That everything must be sacrificed to
getting them off without pulling, as the
slightest dragging may bring the skin,
too.
That if patches of clothing adhere
and will not drop off they must be al¬
lowed to remain for a time,
That cloths should be dipped in a
thick solution of common baking soda
in water and laid over the burned sur¬
face, bandaging them over lightly to
keep them in place.
That as soon as a dry spot appears
on this dressing it must lie wet with
the soda and water by squeezing some
on it, and there will be no smarting 1 '
while it is satujafgdXasi-tSe'alr is
excluded.
That.jf a rubber sheet is not at hand,
a jjfcce of thin oilcloth, a gossamer
cloak or any water-proof article should
be spread on (lie bed, with a blanket
over it, to receive the sufferer.—Chi¬
cago Record.
