gineering this year, they would
all have secured places where
there is an opportunity for ad-
vancement into positions paying
large salaries and carrying with
them great responsibility.
During the ten years of the ex-
istence of the Mechanical and
Electrical Engineering Depart
ment of the State College there
has never been a single example
of a graduate making a failure of
his work, and without exception
every State College man has
proved satisfactory and efficient
in the highest degree.
The condition of manufactur-
ing in the United States should
encourage young men to prepare
themselves in a profession offer
ing large opportunities. Schools
of medicine and law have been
sending into the world graduates
for the last hundred years, and
as result, a goodly proportion
of the young men who prepare
themselves in the older profes-
sions drift into other lines of
work by necessity. The engi-
neering school is the creation of
the last twenty-five years, and at
the present time there are only
about twenty schools in the
United States that are large fac
tors in supplying the trained me-
chanical and electrical engineers
to the manufacturing industries
of the country.
A heavy investment is requir-
ed to equip school for mechan-
ical engineering work. The
equipment for mechanical and
electrical engineering work at
the State College represents
about 100000, and the school
has taken rank with the best
institutions of the country where
technical education has been a
feature for a much longer time.
Kentucky men have been aggres-
sive in engineering work and in
many cases have pushed ahead
of their co-workers from the
great engineering schools from
the East. Wherever State Col
lege men have gone there has
usually been a request for more
men for the next year.
The United States is largely
characterized by her machine
building establishments. The
rapid growth of manufacturing
industries indicates that there
will be an additional demand for
well trained mechanical engi-
neers; young men who take up
engineering work are assured op-
portunities that are not met with
in any other professions at the
present time.
The United States Govern
ment and the State of Kentucky
have been liberal in furnishing
to the youth of Kentucky the
best of facilities for pursuing a
thorough technical course almost
free of cost.-Lexington Leader.

The PRESS GANG
Entertained in 81. Louis by the
Executive Committee Of the
Exposition Company.
BREAKFAST WAS SERVED THEM
Short Talks We're Made by President
Brown and Others, and the Pencil
Pushery Continued Their
Journey West.

The Sunday st. Louis Globe
Democrat has the following to
say of the Kentucky Editorial
Excursionists:
The Kentucky editorial excur-
sionists were in town yesterday
for short time. They reached
st. Louis, enroute to the West,
at daylight, and by 8 o'clock had
taken their departure. During
their visit they were we'll treated,
however, and left the city loaded
down with Worlds Fair buttons
and literature for distribution at
Denver and Salt Lake City. The
excursionists were met at Union
station by Capt. p. Bartholomew
and committee from the press
bureau of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition, and were immediate
ly escorted to Forest Park in
special cars over the transit COM
pany lines. They went directly
to the cottage, where they were
guests of the executive commit
tee of the Exposition company at
very pleasant breakfast. There
we're ITO ladies and gentlemen in
the party.
At the breakfast President r.
w. Brown, of the Kentucky Ed
itorial association and the man.
aging editor of the Louisville
Times, introduced Former Gov.
d. R. Francis, who spoke of the
Exposition in 1908 and the inter
est which Kentuckians by reason
of their prominent part in the
purchase, should feel in its sue
cess. "We are here to welcome
your association" said Gov.
Francis. ''We are glad of this
opportunity to extend to you a
handshake on your way to the
West. You can say to your
neighbors at home that the Ken
tuckians in Missouri look back
with pride to the land of blue
grass, and always are happy TO
extend their hands in welcome to
their old friends. We should be
close friends, we Missourians and
Kentuckians, in the celebration
of the Louisiana purchase, for it
was that unrest on the part of
the people of your state to get
control of the vast territory west
of the Mississippi that aroused
in the minds of Jefferson and his
associates the Importance of the
big purchase. We are preparing
to appropriately celebrate the
acquisition of the Louisiana ter
ritory In 1908. Kentucky has
not yet made an appropriation
for representation at that cele-
bration. We must have your
support, for you are the leaders
of thought and and action within
your commonwealth. We know
that with your enthusiastic as
sistance 1T will go through. We
are glad to have you with us this
morning."
President Brown next intro
duced Breckenridge Jones, the ex-
ecutive officer of the st. Louis
Kentucky society. Mr.. Jones
made a very timely address, in
which he expressed the hope that
the members of the Kentucky
Editorial Association would again
be the guests of st. Louis during
the Worlds Fair. A fitting res
ponse was made by Judge John
E. Kelley, of the Bardstown (Ky.)
Record, who insisted that the
editors of Kentucky, as well as
the citizens of that state general
ly, are ready to unite heart and
soul in the celebration of the

HOT SCOTCH ON FIRE.
But the Man That Started the Flow

But the Man That Started the Flow
Didn't Stay to Enjoy the Liquor.
An explosion followed by fire in the
rear of the residence of Capt. F.. G..
Strachan at Drayton street and Park
avenue last night, shortly before 9
o'clock, was followed by loud cries as
of man suffering intense pain. No.
S Engine Company was notified of the
fire, was soon on the scene, and had
it extinguished in a few minutes.
An investigation of the place where
the fire started showed that it had been
used as a store room, and that a bar
rel of whisky kept there had exploded
and afterward become ignited. Capt.
and Mrs. Strachan are North, and no
one of the household was at home.
The theory of Chief Mcguire is that
a burglar entered the room, and that
when he lighted a match to get a
view of his surroundings and discover
what swag he could get away with, the
flame of the match in some way caused
the explosion. The screams heard Just
after are thought to have been caused
by the mans being burned by the
flaming liquor, or injured by the ex-
ploSion.

HOODOO DOCTOR HELD.
Brown Must Answer Charge OF
Cheating and Swindling.

Cheating and Swindling.
In Police Court yesterday Mayor My
ers remanded ]. ]. Brown, colored, for
trial in the City Court on a charge Of
cheating and swindling. The prisoner
is the negro who was arrested by BIZ
cycle officer Cristy and alleged to have
been representing himself as physi-
clan, able to cope successfully with the
mysteries of hoodooism.
Wash Furgerson and another of the
mans patients appeared in court
against him, and stated that they had
paid Brown for some worthless liquid.
Furgerson took it and was put out of
business, and the old man thought he
was going to die. In court he declared
that he had been unframed by a
worthless Florida Niger" and that
Brown is an imposter.
The prosecutor stated that Brown
had also given him a little package
to plant under his back steps, for the
purpose of breaking the hoodoo charm.
Furgerson opened the parcel and found
pins, needles, red pepper and sand. He
charged that Brown had repeatedly
styled himself a physician and Won
der in root work.
Brown has a little more sense than
the average negro, and Indignantly de-
MED the charge made against him. He
stated that he takes no stock in hoo
dooism and has always cried 1t down.
Furgerson had insisted that he was I'M
der a spell and Brown volunteered to
sell him some medicine that would eff
feet cure. The prisoner declared that
the medicine was not of his making
and that he was only selling it on COM
mission for men who peddle it on the
street. The prisoner stoutly denied that
he had ever called himself a physician.

Aside from words applying specifi-
cally to the Deity and to religion, the
greatest words in the language are
these: Love, Home, Family, Morality,
Education, Fidelity. An essay might
be written showing how life insurance
is greatly helpful to each one of the
things which these words represent.
Another essay might be written show
ing that life insurance helps these great
interests as nothing else can; and an
other might be written showing that in
the case of many men, unless these
great interests are safely guarded and
cared for by life insurance, they will
be betrayed, ruined, lost. We are not
going to write those essays now; We are
simply going to state these few unim-
peachable facts concerning them, and
then lay the matter upon the heart and
conscience of every reader.
Is your love satisfied with respect to
what you have done in the matter of
life insurance?
Is your home so protected that your
family could still call 1t home, in case
of your premature death?
Is your family protected against the
loss of much of your future income as
they have right to expect, and will
need. whether you live long or die
soon?
Are the morals of your children as
we'll guarded as they should be against
the temptations that poverty may bring
If you are not insured?
Is the education of your children LA
BILE to be restricted to the most COM
mon branches, in an age when success
demands the trained mind-because you
are neglecting life insurance?
If you were to die this year, could
II be truthfully said that you had been
a faithful husband and father-faithful
to the best interests of family ana
home?
BE faithful then in its truest sense
by insuring your life Immediately, de-
laying even a short time may place you
in the uninsurable class. and then the
greatest opportunity you will ever have
to provide one of the greatest blessing
known for your home and family will
be denied you.
Seek a good company we'll known
for its solidity and fairness, and place
the burden upon it.

SOLDIERS GET EVIDENCE.
Men In Uniforms, But Not Soldiers,
May Have Witnessed Drowning of
Misses Ambrose.

The soldiers of the garrison at Fort
Screven on Tybee Island are investi-
eating, in their own defense, the charge
that some of their number stood by
and refused assistance when it was
begged for the Misses Ambrose, who
were drowned in the surf last We'd
nesday. Private L. w. Miller and 9TH
ers have undertaken to gather all the
evidence they can to show that the
ladies who claimed that soldiers wit
messed the drowning without rendering
aid were mistaken.
Private Miller has secured three
signed statements. AS to the charge
that soldiers refused help to the drown
ing ladies, he said that he had ascer-
tanned that a man who lives on the
island but who is not a soldier, was
near at the time. This man wore a
soldiers shirt and a campaign hat
upon which crossed guns and letters
were stencilled, and might easily have
been mistaken for a soldier. Private
Miller thought this the probable ex-
PLANTATION of the ladies' assumption
that two men they saw were soldiers.
If such were the case, the ladies would
be relieved from the slightest criticism
soldiers. Certainly they saw two men,
and 1t might be that the men were
civilians, for the soldiers say that cast
off uniforms are commonly worn by
fishermen and others at Tybee. If such
were the case, the soldiers, too, would
be relieved from the censure that
might justly be felt if any two OF their
number had failed to render succor
when girls were drowning.
The following are statements that
were secured by Private Miller from
Mr.. Daniel V. Hops and Arthur Hawk
and A. p. Walker. both colored; the
statements being signed:
I'm reference to the recent sad acct
dent at Tybee on Aug. IA, 1901" said
Mr.. Hops, 1T has been stated that
there were two soldiers on the scene
of the drowning from the first, and
that they were needless to every ap-
peal to go TO the assistance of those
struggling In the water. Having been
asked If this were true. can state that
did not see any soldiers when 1 ar
rived at the spot. saw soldiers ar
irving later"
I'm regard to the drowning OF the
Misses Ambrose on the beach at Ty-
bee, and for the benefit of the soldiers
that are accused of refusing to assist
the girls that were drowned" said
Arthur Hawk, II desire to say that
A. p. Walker and myself were the first
men to reach the scene of the accident
and when we arrived there We're no
soldiers there. l could not have been
mistaken in this, for IL they had been
there l would have seen them. The
Misses Ambrose were drowned before
/ arrived"
IT am positive that there were nc
soldiers there" declared Walker.

rATROLMAN STARTED TROUBLE.
Omcer Hicks Began Rough House
in Bar and WINS BADLY Beaten.

Patrolman w. e. Hicks started
rough house in Cottingham's saloon, at
Broughton and Drayton streets, yester-
day, and was beaten by Bartender Jack
Burnes. Hicks was off duty when the
trouble occurred. and with the barten-
der was placed under arrest by Pa
trolman Rauzin. At the police station
it was shown that Burnes was in no
manner to blame and he was released.
1t was plain to the desk sergeant
that Hicks had been drinking, and he
was ordered to his quarters. Later he
was suspended by Supt. Reilly, pending
an investigation by the Mayor. Burnes
had received a stunning blow under
the left eye, but the patrolman got far
the worst of the fight. He was bleed
ing from two wounds in the head and
was otherwise bruised about the face.
Burnes, who is a quiet sort of an
individual, said that Hicks had been
playing cards, with several others, at
one of the tables in the saloon. A
round of drinks had been ordered and
it was up to the officer to pay for
them. Burnes asked for the money and
said that Hicks Immediately became
angry and declared that he had been
insulted. He started behind the bar,
and jammed the saloon mans head I'M
der the counter. Glasses were smash
ed and affairs began to look squally.
Burnes got in two or three ticks on
Hicks and several messages We're sent
to police headquarters for an officer.
In the mean time the men had been
separated and Hicks was placed in a
hack by a friend. Burnes expressed no
desire to have him detained, and ar
rested, and the bleeding officer was
driven rapidly down Broughton lane.
Although already beaten he still had
plenty of fight in him, and when the
hack reached Abercorn street, he
| jumped out. The hackman was driving
at lively rate, and Hicks rolled over
in the mud. He picked himself up and
started on a run back for the saloon.
A large crowd had gathered on
Broughton street, and several patrol
men were on hand. The officers sent
from headquarters reached the bar
about the same time, and a renewal of
hostilities was prevented. Burnes was
not disposed to enter charges against
Hicks, but the police officials were not
willing to let such an incident pass I'M
noticed.

LOOKING UP WITNESSES.
Inquest Over Body of Clarence
Baker Again Continued.

The investigation by the coroners
jury of the killing of little Clarence
Baker, by trolley car Thursday even
ing, was again continued yesterday.
The inquest is now booked for to-mor-
row morning, but the continued alb
sence of material witnesses, will mean
a further delay.
1t appears that there has been some
difficulty in reaching some of those who
saw the accident, and the summons for
the inquest have been placed in the
hands of Constable Lilienthal, by Cor
oner Keller. A large number of wit
nesses have been subpoenaed, and ii is
expected that the investigation will be
the longest one in the history of the
Coroner's Court in this county.
Motorman T. l.. Avant, who was in
charge of the car that ran over and
killed young Baker. was released yes
terday morning on bail, in the sum of
$4,000. The bond was furnished by Vice
President Henry Parsons of the Street

THE SEARCH KEPT UP.
Friends of Miss Ambrose still in
Quest of Her Body.

Although the body of Miss Stella Am
brose, who was drowned at Tybee Wed
nesday has not yet been found, the
search for it has by no means been
given up. Night before last twelve
soldiers from Fort Screven, in reliefs,
spent several hours along the beach
and another of the fort men, Mechanic
Walker, swan out so far as the jetties
and dived repeatedly hoping to find the
remains in the deep. hole in that vicin-
ity.
Last night, too, a number of search
ing parties went down the river, among
them a party Of young men in a naph-
tia launch to which has been fixed
a search light, thus enabling them to
make a careful and systematic search
along all the shores. Among the
friends of the unfortunate victim there
is no intention of giving up the search
so long as there is slightest chance Of
so long as there is the slightest chance
of finding the body.
