In European countries, under the
old systems of government, rowdies

Once more European war cloud is
in sight and looks some what porten-
tious, fairly putting the Venezuelan
question in the shade. 1t is reported
that Russia has effected secret treaty
with China whereby she obtains per-
mission to build an extension of the
Siberian railway to Port Arthur, which
will result in the practical establish
ment of naval station at that port.
This will be directly antagonized by
Japan with Great Britain, as it now
looks, as close ally. The entire Brit
ish press is up in arms and loudly talk
ing war. The Pail Mall Gazette talks
in this fashion:
"The outrage would madden an old
er and cooler nation than Japan, and
we shall have bloody war; If there
is any nerve and foresight in the coun-
sells of England, she, too, will oppose
it, and to the death. For us it spells
the loss of every penny invested in
China. 1t spells alien domination of
the Pacific. 1t spells the ultimate but
certain ruin of our trade and Russian
warships off Vancouver and Sydney.
We must act vigorously, at once, by
diplomacy and by readying our fleets
for sea. The reoccupation OF Port
Hamilton, or any better station there
may be, is the smallest possible count
ermove. 1t is almost the one advan-
tage Of Port Hamilton that it is in
sense the eye of Port Arthur. We
ought at onceto bring our China squad
ron up to the full strength of Russia's,
lest Japan were to lose her fleet I'M
helped at the first blood All this we
ought to do without waiting for con-
firmation or Details
If it is war it is to be, hoped that the
British lion will get his tail so badly
twisted that he will roar from pain.

A Specimen of 6 eorgia Politics

Savannah, Ca, Oct 27.-The
situation in Scheven county, as the
result of the murder of Sheriff
Brooker by the Zeiglers brothers, is
remarkable for civilized community.
The Zeiglers are intrenched at their
homestead, about five miles south of
Sylvana, and swear that they will
not he taken alive. They are popu-
lists, and the district is strictly pop
ulist. They have many relatives and
family connections, all of whom have
espoused their cause and sworn to
stand by them to the death. A dozen
or more of tie close friends and rea-
tives of the Zeiglers remain in their
houses or in the immediate neighbor-
hood, it is said, and and all are heav-
lily armed. The houre, it is said, is
like an arsenal. 1t occupies COM
manding position.
When old man Solomon Zeigler
was killed bv BROKER in a quarrel
over politics several months ago it is
said that the Zeiglers determined on
revenge, and counseled with their
friends and relatives, who agreed tc
stand by them. ] b refore they kill
ed Brooker. There is q large farm
bell in the yard, and it was agreed
that this bell should not be rung ex-
cept as a warning Of danger and
signal for the Zeiglers and their fol-
lowers to gather together to resist an
attack. The Zeigler following is
said to number 200 men.

he Little Women's ball to be given
at City B all this evening will be one of
the brilliant events of the winter. The
grand feature of the evening will be the
Vieunoise ballet, danced by thirty young
misses. Those of our citizens who were
fortunate enough to see the celebrated
Viennoise children dance in 1S47 will
remember now wonderfully their figures
were executed and what an impression
they created throughout the country.
This ball is formulated on the same
plan as those performances and a
delightful entertainment may be expect
ed.
The music for general dancing will be
provided by Gilbert's orchestra, and ex-
tellenu refreshments will be served in
Reception Hall. No wraps will be al
lowed on the floor of the hall. Reserved
seats can be secured at Chambers.

The Episcopal Church to Have Primus,
The Episcopal Commission on the Con-
stitution and Canons, which has been
holding sessions at the See House in
New YORK city, has settled the matter
as to the creation of an Archbishop at the
meeting on Friday. By the decision of
the Commission the chief officer of the
Episcopal Church in this country will he
a Primus, who will be chosen by the
House of Bishops. According to the de-
cision reached by the Commission the
Primus shall be selected from among the
Bishops without regard to the question
OF seniority. AT present the Bishop of
Chicago is the only one in the country
having authority over other Bishops, be-
ing at the head of the three ecclesiastical
divisions of the State of Illinois. An
amendment looking to the selection
OF Washington as the See for the Primus
was rejected. 1t is said that the vote on
the proposition stood six TO eight.
The Rev. DR.. Harrison, Secretary of the
Commission, said after the adjournment
of the final session that it had been de-
cided to give none of the proceedings of
the meeting to the public at present.
They will be printed in pamphlet form
under the direction of the Commission
and distributed throughout the Church.
BY SO doing free discussion of the pro-
posed changes in the constitution and
canons may be had before the meeting
of the next General Convention.

KNIGHTS OF CoLU MBUs.
Hold Their First Annual Banquet at the
Falmouth Hotel.


The first public banquet Of the new
ever given in this state was one of the
social events of last evening, and was
given by Portland Council at the Fall
mouth hotel. The mem bers of the coun-
Gil, their ladies, and mem ers of the
order from other sections of the state
assembled at o'clock, and for an hour
there was an informal reception. At
9 O'Clock dinner was served, about one
hundred sitting down to the charmingly
decorated tables.
Grand Knight and District Deputy
Joseph A. McGowan, presided, and de-
livered the following opening address:
Ladies and Sir Knights:
Over century ago, one of the most
able and eloquent statesmen the world
has ever seen-Edmund Burke-ex-
claimed in the heat of indignation,
"tne age of cnivalry is gone. That of
sophisters, economists and calculators
has snccee died."
TO render this reproof inapplicable to
the present time is the main reason for
the existence of the Knights of Column
bus. KnighthOod has existed for oentur-
les, varying in its objects and purposes
from time to time. Originally it was d
purely military distinction, but from
the 10th century, it has been conferred
on civilians as mark of distinction OF
n reward for valuable service rendered
to others. AS many as two hundred
different orders of Knights have been es-
tablished in Europe, differing in their
aims and purposes. The objects of the
Order of the Knights Of Colum bus, are
clearly set forth in it's oonstitution-to
render mutual assistance and pecunia-
ry aid to it's mem bers and their benefici-
aries; to promote such social and intel
Iectual intercourse among it's mem be1s
as shall be desirable and proper. It's
aim is not to enter into competition
with any organization acJuated by igno-
BILE motives. 1t has u loftier am bition
In the words of one who has seen it's
practical benefits, I may say: "No lay
institution was ever erected upon nobler
principles, nor were ever more sterling
maxims laid down for the conduct Of
it's mem bers."
That our chivalry may in part be-
proven, we have tonight invited the lady
friends of the Knights of Colum nus to
assemble IN this banquet hall in order
that we may offer them some slight
entertainments. Let us hope that this
evening may be pleasantly spent.
Brief speeches were made by Sir
Knight James Cunningham, Sir Knight
William H. Dougherty. Sir Knight f.
Driscoll and Sir Knight John A. McGow-
an.
The music for the occasion was furn-
ished by the Crescent Banjo, Mandolin
and Guitar club, and the following took
part in the musical and literary pro-
gramme: Mrs. Joseph A. MCGOWAN, con-
tralto solo; Edward G. Baker, recitation
Miss Emily W. Flaherty, soprano solo;
Mr.. John A. McGown, recitation; MIR.
Dennis Kelley, bass solo; W H. Doherty,
recitation, and recitation by John W.
Dunn. XIII .,gg.s -as,,... ....,.... .-...
The affair was most brilliant success
and the dinner was worthy the high
reputation OF the house.

MISCELLANEOUS.
DIPHTHERIA
n n

Too many homes bear this fear-inspir-
ing placard, denoting the prevalence of
that most insidious and dreaded of all
diseases Diphtheria.
1t is to-day recognized fact among the
best practitioners that nine out of ten
= cases formerly considered hopeless NAV
be brought to a happy termination by
the use of that great original raw food
product,
Bovinine.
This great blood generating, life-main-
tanning, strength-developing, and flesh
producing product of lean, raw meat.
contains the greatest amount of life
preserving qualities in the least pos
sible bulk of any preparation known.
In cases of Diphtheria, Bovinine has
special advantages. In this disease, as
in others, the rapidity with which it is
assimilated gives to it preference over
all other foods, passing, as it does, into
the system Immediately, without causing
the digestive organs to perform any labor,
And considering the fact that the LESSONS
In the throat prevent the swallowing of
solid food, it becomes an absolute neces-
slty In the worst cases, where even
liquids cannot be taken by the mouth,
Bovinine
Saves Life
by being used as. an injection. Above all.
Bovinine is in itself a germicide,sand in
all such diseases-as Diphtheria, caused by
microbes, it not only performs it's greatest
mission of maintaining life, but antidotes
the existing bacilli.
Rovinine has done wonders in thousands
of cases of Diphtheria. When your doctor
uses it you may cease to worry, and be
assured of speedy recovery. To neglect
its use may mean years of remorse in the
feeling that some loved one. might still be
with you if everything possible had been
done. Bovinine is sold by all Druggists.
