A rebel in Cape Colony whose name was Douwass, and who could speak nothing but Dutch, was tried for treason recently. An English gentle man who was present al the trial be- came interested in him and after his acquittal entered into converse tion with him through an interpreter Dou- wass could neither read nor write, but thought that he was of French extrac- tion. However all his little history was written down in the family Bible at his farm, and the Englshman had the curiosity to go there and investi- gate it. Then he discovered that the mans real name was Douglas, that his father had emigrated direct from Scot land and that the transformation was entirely the work of two genera tions of Boer mothers.

The Boston Transcript finds in the Martinique horror an argument in fa- yor of the Panama route for the Isth- milan Canal. The Transcript says At Panama there are no volcanoes within two hundred miles, and have been none since a former geological period h. yestigations with the seismograph ex- tended over about year showed a much higher percentage of measura ble disturbance in Nicaragua than in Pan anna, and this notwithstanding the vents provided by nature for the release of imprisoned forces in the former. This fact alone should be determin- ing quantity in a wise selection, even If all other considerations were equal or slightly against the Panama route."

FREIGHT BUREAU
IS NOW ORGANIZED
OBJECT is TO STIMULATE 5Usl
NESS AND PROMOTE cITY's
SHIPPING FACILITIES.

What is to be known as the Atlanta
freight bureau was organized Wednesday
afternoon at the Chamber of Commerce.
The object of the bureau is to stimulate
business, promote the city's shipping and
freight facilities and to bring about a
closer union of the shipping and freight
interests.
Fifty representative business men took
part in the organization of the bureau
Wednesday The bureau starts on
under most favorable circumstances, hav-
ing already enough subscriptions to run 1t
for several years. The expenses VIII De
met through voluntary subscriptions, and
so auspiciously has the organization been
launched that there seems little doubt OF
its permanence. A charter will be applied
for at an early date and certificates OF
membership will be issued emitting mem
bers to the privileges of the bureau No
stock will be issued.
II. 7. Moore, formerly chief rate clerk
of the Southern railway and a prominent
freight man, has been made freight COM
missioner of the bureau. A board of direc-
tors, consisting Of not less than seven nor
more than twenty-five, will have charge OF
the conduct of the bureau. All members
OF the board of directors will be exempt
from liability.
It is believed that the bureau will ac-
complish great good in preventing dis
elimination against Atlanta in freight
rates. An effort will be made through the
bureau to effect a revision and classih-
cation of items of freight which are at
present considered improperly classified
under the laws now existing.

BAPTISTS IN CUBA
To STAY UNDER
HOME BOARD
DR.. LANDRUM, DR.. MCCONNELL
AND JUDGE HILLYER ARRANe-
ED MATTERS sATIsFAc-
.ToRILY.

AS a result of their trip to Cuba Rev.
DR.. w w. Iandrun, Rev. F. c. McCon-
nell and Judge George L. Hillyer, the
Home Mission board of the Southern Bap-
fist church, will retain control of its mag
nifcent church in Havana, although los
ing the services of the Rev. A. j. D.az
it's former pastor
DR.. Diaz, it seems, has been of late too
politically inclined to suit the mission
board. who accordingly requested his re-
signation. This was rendered, but Dr.
Diaz showed a decided Discrimination TO
give up his church, and 1t was to adjust
this threatened difficulty that the com-
nittee left Atlanta last month.
DR.. Landrum. came home Wednesday and
reports that everything has now been sat
isfactorily arranged. although he frankly
depIores the loss to the church OF Dr
Diaz's services. and adds:
eff he had been less a politician and
more a consecrated minister of the una
dulterated gospel he would have exercised
an influence in Cuba not unlike that Of
Knox in Scotland. / regard DR.. Diaz as
the ablest living Protestant preacher in
Cuba and as a magnetic orator of wonder
full endowments.
The Gethsemane church. of which DR..
Diaz was pastor. is the most valuable pos
session of the mission board in Cuba. II
was formerly a theatre, and was pur-
chased several years ago for large sum.
1t is now considered worth fully 100000
Dr. Landrum expressed himself as great
1y pleased with his trip. He says he
found Havana thronged with visitors,
finds the work of his church there very
satisfactory and considers the island a
wonderful field and one with a great fu-
ture for the church. Especially was he
pleased with the native Baptists.

UNABLE TO VISIT THIS
CITY.

Prince Henry of Prussia, the distin-

clude Atlanta in his itinerary, and all pre-
parations for his reception and entertain

stopped.
The announcement Of the fact that
Prince Henry will not be able to visit this
city was contained in a telegram which
was sent from Washington and received
by Mayor Minis Thursday morning:

Both sides have strong reasons for
desiring peace. II they fight another six
months the situation may not be materi-
ally altered and II is impossible TO say
exactly what is the military situation.
II is certain that now the Beers are as
optimistic as they were year ago with
regard TO their ability TO hold out, while
Enrland's situation is becoming intoler-
able. not only on account OF her enormous
expense. but because OF the stagnation OF

year Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, the new catarrh
cure has met with such success that today It
can be found in every drug store throughout
the United States and Canada.
To be sure a large amount of advertising was
necessary in the first instance to bring the
remedy to the attention of the public. but ev-
eryone familiar with the subject knows that
advertising alone never made any article per-

10 Change in Route viii Now Be Made

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3O.-The commit
tee on arrangements for the reception of
Prince Henry held another meeting today
and completed the itinerary of the west
ern and southern trip which will be taken
by the prince. The committee has found
itself embarrassed by its desire to meet
the wishes of Prince Henry to see as
much Of the United States as possible in
the time allotted to his visit and the wish
es OF the various cities and communities
to have him stop some time in each. The
effort to reconcile these conditions has re-
suited in a program which allots a very
short period Of time to many of the local
tiles that had hoped to have the prince
with them at least one or two days. In
Cincinnati mis- stay will be less than half
a day and in other cases it has been nee
essary to cut out important cities or break
up the long projected night runs. Atlanta
has been omitted from the program and
Chattanooga probably will be the extent
OF the southern trip.
