GATHERED HOME.
Death of DR.. Lakin.

The sal news reached the city
yesterday by telegram to Mr.. Col,
Inns that DIR. A. s. Lakin was dead
and his remains were being borne by
his son-in-law, Capt. John w.
Raines, to this city for interment,
having left Kansas City yesterday.
They will probably reach Huntsville
some time to-day and our people for
whom this distinguished divine and
his family spent SO many years Of
labor should turn out and show fitting
respect to his memory.
In her sore bereavement, his only
daughter, Mrs. Mary Raines, has no
more heartfelt sympathy than is hers
to-day among the friends and bene
factors here Of herself and her ven
cradle father now sleeping the sleep
of the righteous.
Peace to his ashes of him, our
friend, who has now reached "the
quiet haven of us ALL"

| NV They Wanted.
"AsdlNGToN, Jan. 24.-The senate
Wednesday in secret session resolved n
maze puolic the Samoan treaty fnnhl;sh.
~ last sunday negotiated in Berlin
last spring. ~
secretary Blaine, in his letter to the
p'TSioent regarding the treaty, saws:
me subjects as to which the commits
heads: Ao" unoer nVe
Flrst--They were directed to ask the
-eo1oration OF the status quo in order to
remove the disturbance caused bv the
.orciDie Intervention of Germany and
ene deportation of Malietoa. This was
noe 20 De an ultimatum, however, which
would close the conference.
Second-The organization of a stable
governmental system for the islands
whereby native independence and au-
tonomy should be preserved free from
tne control or preponderating influence
oi any foreign government.
Ihlrd-The adjustment of land claims
Fourth-The prohibition of the sale of
nrearms and alcoholic liquors.
Fnth-The question of a munieipal ad-
mlnistratlon of Apia as foreign settle
ment under due reservation Of extra ter
ritorial rights.
The secretary says:
The protocols of the several sessions
herewith submitted, show the discussion
which took place on each of these i'm
Portant heads, and indicate the success
I've stages by which the views of the
three governments therein came into
harmony. The result is, in the main.
entirely in accord with the instructions
under which the American plenipoten-
tiaries acted. 1t is proper to observe
that the matters in respect of which an
agreement seemed most difficult were
the restoration of the status quo. the
formation of a stable government, with
out the preponderance of influence on
the part OF any Of the treaty powers, and
the raising of revenue for the mainten-
ance Of that government.
"As to the first of these points. the
chief obstacle to an unqualified renewal
OF the status which existed when the
conferences of Washington were held.
was found in the reluctance of Germany
to admit such situation as would ap-
pear to leave Mataafa, against whom
she had declared war, eligible for the
free choice of the natives a; king. 1t is
confidently believed that the final accord
removes the difficulties, and the Sa-
means themselves in the exercise of the
freedom which they are to continue to
enjoy, appear to have effected practi-
cal solution of the matter.
"On the second point, the danger of
preponderating influence on the part of
any one of the three powers is obviated
by taking the chief foreign adviser and
Judge from neutral nation. The reve-
nue. in question has been adjusted with
due regard to the limits, resources of
the natives, and the obligation of the
three powers to share in the burden
which, by force of circumstances, it has
been necessary to impose in protection
OF their common interest and for the
maintenance of peace and ORDER
In conclusion, the secretary expresses
the hope that the act may be conducive
to the good government Of Samoa under
native autonomy, and to the lasting set
tlement of the vexed questions which
have agitated the three powers in their
complex relations to these islands.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Judge Thurs.
ton, of Nebraska, president of the Re.
publican National league, is in town.
When questioned about the published
report that the influence Of the league
will be exerted in behalf of Gen. Alger
in 1899, he replied:
"NOt with my consent. / shall oppose
the booming Of any presidential candi-
date by the league. Alger has a great
many friends all over the country and
he would make a most excellent candi-
date. He is very popular and the boys

We have, heretofore, made note
of the liberal and gentlemanly treat
ment of the colored people here by
the whites, but another instance has
come to our notice which, we think,
deserves an especial menti m.
The cotton crop W is almost a total
failure last year and many a poor
tenant had his all taken from him,
but not SO with those on Col. VIM.
Holdings plantation when others
were extorting the full measure Of
their rent Col. Holding said, "well
boys, we have made failure. let's
try it again"
If we had only few more such men
as Cols Holding the race question
would be easily solved.

Blacks to Leave Barnwell.

CHARLESTON, s. c., Jan, 24.-The
negroes of BarnweI county, the scene
Of recent lynchings, had meeting
Wednesday and decided to emigrate.
Governor Hagood, who has the un-
shaken confidence of the negroes,
thought that the races got on well to-
gether, No good white man would jus
tify the lynchings that had occurred.
The negroes will probably go. The
streets and byways are crowded with
the emigrants and their sympathizers
and are piled with their effects. Several
THOUSAND negroes will leave the county
within the next ten days. The emf
grants are mostly destined for Arkansas

Parents Given Life Sentence.
DIES MONIES. Iowa, Jan. 24.-Judge
Hoyt, of the Clayton district court, has
passed sentence upon probably the
youngest life convict ever sent up in this
country. His name is John Wesley
Elkins and the offense charged was that
of the murder of his father on the night
of July II last. He also murdered his
mother at the same time.
He was indicted for both offenses, but
as he pleaded guilty to the first the other
was not tried. The boy is only 12 years
old. He confessed the crime, and gave
as his motive that he desired to leave
home and shift for himself, but his
parents had objected. He pleaded
guilty of murder and was given the full
limit of the law.

A GUEST.

Statistics are given to show the
email proportion Of protesting chris
tians in Nevada as compared with
other States, but nothing is said as to
how many Of these professors are
practical christians. tt is no, credit
to anyone to be protested christian
BY belonging to some church organi-
cation, unless the principles Of
christianity are practiced on week
days as well as Sunday. Some of the
moanest mon and women in the world
are active church. members,. while
somo Of the best, the best in every
element that goes to. make up really
good man or women, make no preten-
tions to christianity. 1t is Just as
absurd to say that all outside of tho
Church are bad, as it is to say that
Ill who profess christianity are good
Onos life is good or bad according to
his actions, not according to what he
believes.

EDITOR INDEpENDENT:-Our usual

u short time ago by the announce.
ment Of school entertainment to be
given at w: II. Cranes by the school,
on the 18th instant, and on the even
ing mentioned the visitors. began to
arrive early and by the opening of
the exercises ut 1880 O'Clock there
were large number present. Here
follows the programme which is too
lengthy for our columns.-Editor.]
The. pieces were all gone through
in very creditable manner, not a
mistake being made in the entire
programme, showing that the teach
er, Miss Quinn, had done her part
we'll. The pieces worthy Of especial
mention were "Widow Bedott," "That
Hired Girl,""A Blighted Life" "I'm
a Man." Beaver Greek JIM" "F'ound
Dead" HThe Gamblers Wife," and
also the essay by Miss N. 9. Quinn,
on cultivation Of manners, it being an
unusually good piece of her own pro-
duction which will probably be re-
membered for long time by those
who heard it. After the entertain
ment there was farce entitled "The
Young and DID," which was very
amusing, after which the guests spent
the rest Of the evening at Mr.. Cranes
in singing songs and sports until
morning the road being too bad to
admit of travel on dark night and
ON the whole it was pleasant even
ing spent. AS the visitors departed
they proffered thanks to the host and
hostess and Miss Quinn for the pleas
ure offered them.
The large number. present showed
that notwithstanding the hard Win
ter and heavy loss OF stock the people
were not entirely discouraged. After
the programme fine lunch. was set
of which all partook heartily. If
there we're more of such times the
people would be contented to stay
among the sage, but as it stands il is
bard to get them together often enough
TO get up anything of the kind.

How to Find tho Dates OF Now Moons In
Any Year OF This Century.
The Golden Number is the place of a
given year in the lunar cycle, which is
10 years; that is, every 10 years the new
moons come around on the same dates.
To find the Golden Number: Add 1 to
the date, and divide the same by 10; the
remainder is the Golden Number for
that year. When there is no remainder
the year is the last of the lunar cycle,
and of course it's Golden Number is 10.
Example: To find the Golden Num-
Der for 1890: Add 1, and we have 1891;
divide by 10, and the remainder is 10.
Hence 10 is the Golden Number for
1890.
To use the table: Find the Golden
Number for the given year; then when
ever it occurs in the table it gives the
date Of a new moon. The first column
is the days of the month. Each of the
other IL columns is headed by the name
of one of the months.
