Two men were standing outside jewell
CTS window admiring the gorgeous display
of glittering gems that lay before them.
Presently one of them, pointing to an object
Ia red plush tray, said:
Just look at that scarfpin, representing
a fly. Anyone can tell that's not real"
We'll | should think So answered the
friend. who ever saw a common fly with
such bright appearance? Why, it makes
me weary when | think that the jeweler
who produced that fondly hoped that some

There is more Ca,arrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-

supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local Iemedies, and by con-
stantly failing to eyre with local treatment,
pronounced it incu, able. Science has proven

therefore requires constitutional treatment.

PAYING hi CUBANS.

This Government is certainly
doing a generous part by the Gu
bans in paying them 100000
as a mere donation to facilitate
the disarmament of their army,
to serve as a relief fund and to
aid in getting the people to work,
General Gomez, whose first fig
ures were 100000, 900, has SEN
sibly acquiesced in the offer and
has promised his aid and coop
Grafton in restoring things to a
peaceful basis in Cuba. The sum
of 100000 in American gold
amounts to more than S4,000,-
600 in Spanish silver. The money
will be sent to General Brooke
for distribution. He will convert
into Spanish silver and thus V
cry Cuban soldier will be able to
get something like 500 to assist
him in starting life anew.
The United States is under no
obligation to give the Cubans one
cent. AS a matter of equity they
are not entitled to a dollar. But
it is evident that until the Cuban
army is disbanded peace and or
der cannot be established and
maintained in the island, Peacei is
the immediate need of Cuba. Our
troops are there to maintain it
and without the cooperation Of
the insurgent forces this cannot
be done. The latter are penniless.
They have led the lives of out
laws for the past four years. They
are unprepared to again discharge
the functions of ordinary citizen
ship without help. This President
Mckinney proposes to give them.
Undoubtedly this method is
better than the use of force in
the disbandment of the Cuban
army, the only other alternative
offered. In a word the payment of
100000 has averted a conflict
with Gomez and his army, which
would have made the task
Q. restoring peace in Cuba long
and tedious. AS tits the Cubans
should soon be able to settle down
to peoceful pursuits and equip
themselves for the proper exer-
else of the freedom and self-gov-
eminent which this Government
has secured for them.

DEAR ARGUs:-By request Of
some of the large family of Friends
on the "south side" your CORES
pondent wishes to tell your read
ers of the meeting conducted al
Woodland by Miss Anna Armi-
tage, the gifted little evangelist
from Cleveland, OHIO, which
closed recently, after about a
weeks duration.
Miss Anna is indeed gifted with
many talents. and her knowledge
of Bible work is unlimited, which
shows her to be very deep seated
and the ~"little but loud' woman
as an evangelist is the "right man
in the right place." if she will par
don me for using this commons
place expression, and her meetings
are always successful. The good
she is doing is no little and it is
hoped her good works will follow
her all her life, and that she may
continue to be useful wherever she
goes,
During the meeting Christian
Endeavor Society was organic I'd
with over thirty members, about
twenty OF whom are the mostact.
i've workers in the vicinity, and
all feel that it was good to have
her with US. for we know she is
one that is ''letting her light 50
shine that others may see her
good works as she goes forth,
conquering sin and Satan.
May He who doeth all thipgs
we'll" continue her SIN His steps,
and may she be the means of aid
Jog many souls in finding the
narrow ! pathway that leadeth
unto Life everlasting, so that
when life's weary pilgrimage is
over, and it's ftfulfever is ended,
she will wear a bright and Shin

THE RIGHT OF A WIFE.

The common law which former
ly governed marital rights in this
country has undergone more
changes than any other, add by a
recent Supreme Court decision in
Indiana takes another forward
step. The law used to regard the
husband and wife as one, but the
husband as that one.
But all that has been changed 10
most of-the States by statutes
which have left little Of the com
mon las ia force. The case in
point is peculiarly interesting by
reason chiefly of broad applica~
ton. The husband kept a shoe
store In which his wife worked as
clerk or saIeswoman for $3.50 a
week and saved and invested her
money. When the amount of her
savings reached $1,000 her hus-
bands business fell off, and she
loaned money to him until all was
gone. Then he made an assign
ment for the benefit of his credit
r He also owed his wife one
years wages, making her claim
$2,378. The assignee refused to
pay her because he said that a hus-
band could not make a valid cor
tract to pay his wife for services.
The Circuit Court gave judgment
against the plaintiff on this
ground, but the Appellate Court
reversed the judgment, saying that
had the service been of a domes-
tic character then there would be
no consideration to support the
contract. That would be against
public policy. But the labor per-
formed by the appellant was not
of that character. She was under
no obligation to. leave her home
and clerk for her husband, aud
she did so under contract that she
should be paid for it. The money
which was paid to her and which
passed again into his possession

was also of that contract, and he1
claim for it all is good.
This reasoning grows out OF
Justice and common sense. The
wife gets what is due her and the
creditors are not injured, for they
are no worse off than if the hus-
band had employed another per
son instead of his wife to work IL
his store.

ell Before the Board.

The many friends of Mr.. r. c. Humber
in Savannah will be pleased to learn that
that young gentleman has been ordered
up for his examination for a ieutenancy
in the regular army. Several weeks ago
MI. Humber was advised OF his appoint
ment to one Of the second lieutenancies
that fell TO Georgia in the division among
the states of the Union of the number ne
cessary for the increase of the forces IN
der the new army bill.
Mr.. Humber was assisted in his effort
to secure one of the places by Senator
Clay and number of prominent men all
over the state That was after the failure
of two of the young men originally APP
pointed to stand the physical or mental
examinations. Immediately after learning
of his appointment Mr. Humber resigned
his position with the freight department
of the Plant System and went on to
Washington. He secured a tutor there
who has made il a study to train APP
plicants for positions who have first TO
pass the requisite examination, and it
was not long before he considered himself
well up for the trial. His friends believe
he win pass handsomely
Mr.. Humber was resident of Savannah
for five or six years His home was in
MIledgeville, and it was there that he
got his first military training He went
through the state school there and when
he was a senior was adjutant of the corps
of cadets. That was at the time when Mr..

TIRED OF OWING MONEY.
Robert a. Giles OF OhOOpee Wants
Relief From His Debts

heIei FROM HIS Debts.
Robert \. Giles of Ohoopee, Tattnall
county, filed his petition in bankruptcy
in the United States Court yesterday.
The petition recites the usual facts that
make an adjudication in bankruptcy legal
and asks that the petitioner be discharged
from his debts after surrendering 70 his
creditors his entire assets, except those
he is entitled to reserve under the laws
of the state as a homestead for the use
of himself and family
A number of Savannah firms are inter
ested in the settlement of the bankrupt's
estate, as he is indebted to them in vari-
Gus large and small amounts. The Sa-
vannah business men thus Interested are
principally the wholesale grocery rner-
chants on the Bay, from whom Giles re-
ceived consignments for the purpose of
running and stocking the store conducted
by him at Ohoopee. He AYERS that he
has many outstanding accounts that are
due him, but it is probable that many
or perhaps most of these cannot be col
lected.
The petition was referred to Referee
MacDoneA, with Instructions to take tes-
timony, hear the arguments of counsel
for the bankrupt and his creditors and
report 10. the court.
