A Fitting Memorial.

Shortly before her death Mrs. NJ. B. L.
BiniOn inaugurated the matter of carpet
ing Sardis church, of which she was her
self member. Scarcely had the work
commenced when she was called to her
eternal home. This effort thus begun
the sisters of the church and friends Of
the community desired to see, at the
earliest date. completed. Accordingly
they have promptly raised the money
and provided an elegant new carpet,
which they now put into their church as
memorial to the worth, thoughtful
ness and efforts of their departed sister.
This is most cOmmendable, being not
only an appropriate expression of their
regard for the departed, but also an in
dicatlOn of their present concern for the
house of God. When death called, Sister
Binion was found in the Masters service.
May those who knew her christian &C
tivity profit by what they saw of her ex-
ample. H. r. MCLENDON.

Miss Saxon left Augusta the first of

entire control, for two services, of his
organ IN the First Presbyterian

their organist that he need not have

WHERE WOMEN ARE EXCLUDED.

IS Far Back as History Reaches 1t has
Reen Forbidden Ground to All Females,
There is only one territory of any size
and never has been but one-occupied
by any considerable population from
which woman is excluded. Yet such a
place exists today and has existed for
centuries. AS far back as history reaches
to all females it has been forbidden
ground. This country without women
is situated on bold plateau between
the old peninsula of Acte, in the Grecian
archipelago, and the mainland. Here in
the woodlands dwells monastic confed-
Grafton of Greek christians, with twen-
ty~three conVents, and mum bering more
than 1000 souls. Not one of the monas
teries dates from later time than the
twelfth century. A few soldiers guard
the borders of this land, and no woman
is allowed to cross the frontier. Nor is
thus all the rule is extended to every fe-
male creature, and from time immemo>
rial no COW, mare, hen, duck or goose
has been permitted to enter this terri
tory.

A FOrerunner of the Most
Fatal Disease.

Though its offensive features
are sometimes almost unbearable,
few people are aware of the danger
of which Catarrh is the forerun-
ner. Catarrh invariably leads to
Consumption. Growing worse and
worse each winter, those who rely
upon the usual treatment of
sprays, washes and inhaling mix
lures find that it is impossible to
check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the
surface. The offensive discharge
increases all the while, causing a
feeling of personal defilement, and
gets deeper and deeper until it is
only a question of short time
until the lungs are affected.
The Importance of the proper
treatment can therefore be readily
appreciated. But no good what
ever can be expected from local
applications, as such treatment
never did cure Catarrh, and never
will.

that as his wife haG been in feeble

found her terribly excited. He seized
her in his arms and tenderly bore her

TO HOLD THE PHILIPPINES.
The Government Preparing to Send an
Army of Ten Thousand Men
to Hold Manila.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Telegrap hic
orders have been sent to San Francisco
to engage nine steamers of the Pacific
Mail Co., which will transport, without
difficulty, an army of 10000 men. Ar
engagements have also been made to
send a supply of coal, if Dewey should
ask for it, but the understanding that
there is about 10000 tons at Man liza at
the least, and there is good ground to
believe that the supply is much great
er. Just back of Fl. Cavite is
lock with abundant app aratus for or
binary ship repair s. The principal
problem, therefore, is to send enoug h
men to CARR ison the city, and it is be-
ieved that 10000 well-equipped Amer
lcan troops will be quite sufficient for
This purpose. The present plan is to
lake all the national guard from
California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho,
Nevada, Colorado and the far west
srn states. To these will be added
regiment of regular infantry, a
regiment of cavalry, and possibly the
Texas rangers and one of the new vol
unteer regiments. The command will
probably be given to Gen. Merriam, n
which case he will be made a major
general of volunteers. While these
plans have all been made in outline,
they Will be held in allegiance entirely
until Dewey's report comes, SO that it
may be determined what will be nee
essary to do to hold the Philippines as
base of supplies for future operations
N the East Indies.
