IN HONOR OF M'KINLEY.
Union of Labor and Capital Also
Celebrated by New Yorl's Board
of Trade.

Union of Labor and Capital Also
Celebrated by New YorlS's Board
of Trade.
New York. Jan. 29.-The annual ban
quet of the New York Board of Trade
and Transportation was held to-
night. The function this year had
double object in view. First, to do
honor to the memory Of William Nc
Kinley, and secondly. to encourage the
closer union of capital and labor.
The menu card bore a figure of COM
merce, with beckoning hand, the fig
ures of the employer and employe,
clasping hands. The souvenir consist
ted of papier mache weighing scale,
on one side of which was an anvil,
with sledge. and an aglestring against
it, while on the other side was a bag
labelled $1,000,00O.
The first toast was 1.-THE President of
the United States" drunk standing and
in silence.
William Mckinley and His Policies"
was responded to by ex-Postmaster
General Charles Emory Smith.
Mr. Smith spoke of protection and re-
ciprocity as the two great policies with
which Mr.. Mckinley was identified, and
said:
He did more than any other man to
obliterate sectional differences and to
unite the North and South in the bonds
of fraternity. He chose the leaders of
the war from both sections and both
parties, and trusted the honor of the
flag to the Lees and Wheelers of the
South not less than to the Wilson's and
the Roosevelts of the North"
Col. Myron T. Herrick of Cleveland,
eulogized Senator Hanna as essaying
the solution of the differences between
capital and labor, and he urged the
removal Of restrictions on imports at
fast as markets are extended.
HObsOn, Hanna and GOmpers.
Capt. Richmond P. Hobson respond
ed to the toast The Navy" He traced
the history of this arm of the service,
and strongly advised the strengthening
of it, not only because the trade of
the country was extending, but also
in view of possible foreign complica-
tions.
Senator Hanna came next with an
informal speech on Capital and La
bor," and the subject of the navy and
merchant marine.
Referring to Capt. Hobson's speech,
Senator Hanna said that while he ap-
preciated the captains argument, he
wished to offer this amendment:
Don't spend all your money on war;
ships. Give us few merchant ves-
sels.' Give us something to protect.
We ask a fair divide"
Samuel Gompers also spoke.

HOLLANDS UNSELFISH OFFER
Desires to Send a COmmission to

situation to Beers In the Field.


situation to Beers in the Field.
London, Jan. 3O.-The Hague corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail says he is
able to announce on authority that the
Dutch note to Great Britain, after re-
hearsing the earnest concern of that
government at the prolongation of hos
tilities In South Africa, offered its good
offices in bringing them to a close. To
this end Holland asked whether Great
Britain would be willing to permit a
Dutch commission to proceed to South
Africa. to enlighten the Boer leaders
in the field as to the
real position of affairs and that
intervention on the part of any Euro
pean power and that the prolongation
of hostilities is useless If the brave
struggle can serve no fur ther good
purpose. The correspondent says the
Dutch government expressly an
nounces in this note that 1t possesses
no authorization whatsoever from Boer
leaders, either in Europe or South
Africa, to take this step, but 1t ap-
peals to Great Britain on the ground
of common humanity for mill
tary permission for the Dutch
commission to accomplish its
mission of peace. Such permission
would bind neither the British govern
ment TO the discussion of terms of the
initiation of any negotiations, nor
pledge the Dutch government for the
success of itself-imposed task.
II is understood that Great Britain
is awaiting the receipt of Lord Kitch-
ener's views on this suggestion. and
is willing to grant the requested safe
conduct to the Dutch Commission IL
Lord Kitchener offers no objections,

Estin and Guerry mt Dublin.

For the first time in years Dublin is
entertaining to-day two candidates for

arrived in the city from Savannah on
the Central train. and Col. Dupont
Guerry came in from Macon on the
Macon, Dublin and Savannah train.
Both stopped at the New Dublin Ho-

other in the lobby of the hotel. This
morning, bright and early, both candi-
dates began stirring around, speaking
to old friends and making new ones.
Col. Estill will not address the voters
of Laurens county on the present oc-
casion. Col. Guerry, however. will de-
liver an address at the Court House

candidates for Governor have friends

Dublin Courier Dispatch: The Geor-
gia newspaper editor that viii not sup
port brother editor ought to drop
the tripod.-Bulloch Times.
We do not agree with our contempo-
rary. A man should have some quail
ties which demand support. Simply be-
ing an editor does not entitle one to
the support of all other editors. We
see the drift of our brothers remark,
however, and are in hearty sympathy
with the purpose of the squib.
Hon. j. II. Estill, the or-candidate
he had in mind, is worthy of the sup
port of anybody-editors and ALL Be
ing thoroughly qualified and possessing
character above reproach and keen
business judgment that few men pos

WOMEN OF ALL CLASSES
Find Pe-ru-na indispensable to Guard Against Colds,
Coughs and Chronic Catarrh

Mrs. G. w. Miller, 80 N. First street.
Minneapolis, Mimi, writes:
'Peruna is a blessing TO women.
There is no greater strain on the nerves
of woman than the never-ending
cares of a household. When things so
wrong, dinner is burned and children
cry 1t is not so easy to look pleasant
but when sickness in the family adds To
the burden 1t becomes very heavy. ]
have found Peruna my very best friend
under these difficulties When my chill
dren were sick it cured them and when
| became over taxed and weary Peruna
restored me. and If anyone in my
household caught cold a few doses OF
Peruna administered at once prevent
ed unpleasant results. If every wife
and mother would have a bottle of Pc
runa in her medicine chest, lifes bur-
dens would be much easier to carry
Mrs. G. w. Miller.
The club woman and the house,
wife Join In praising Peruna. The
reason for this is because both
these classes are alike subject TO
cntnrrh and catarrhal diseases.
Catarrh is everywhere. No class OF
people are exempt from it's insidious
ravages. 1t enters the palace and hovel
with equal facility. 1t attacks
men and women with like ferocity and
frequency. Strong men and fair women
are among it's victims.
Thus 1t is we find Peruna, the catarrh
remedy everywhere. The upper classes
use 1t; the lower classes cannot do
without 1t. and the middle classes
praise 1t.
At this time of the year, when win
ter begins to approach with its chill
blasts and biting frosts, everyone
should be as alert as possible to escape
what seems to be almost inevitable in
this climate, catarrh.
The number of people who have ca
tarrh of some form or other every win
ter, Is millions.
Now Is the time 10 get Perunn.
Now is the time to get Peruna, and II
should be taken as SOON as the slight
est symptom of catching cold mani
tests itself.
Many people do not seem to under
stand that cold is acute catarrh; that
catching cold is simply catching ca
tarrh. An old cold is chronic catarrh.
Catarrh is liable to settle anywhere in
the system. While IL is true that Peru
ma cures catarrh wherever located, yet
It Is advisable for everyone to use Pc
runa as a preventive, and not wait un-
til catarrh has fastened itself in some
part of the system.
Miss Sara McGahan, 1877 Third street,
Albany, N. Y, writes:
"A few months ago ] suffered with
severe attack of influenza which Moth
ing seemed to relieve. My hearing be-
came bad. my eyes irritated and fever
ish. Nothing seemed right and Moth
ing ] ate tasted good.
II do not know what IL Is made of,
but know ii Is a wonderful medicine
to drive away sickness and restore you
to health. Within two weeks ] was
perfectly well, and now when any OF
my friends are sick | advise them to
take Peruna. Cara McGahan.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Peru
ma, write at once to DIR. Hartman Civ
ing a full statement of your case and
he will be pleased to give you his valu-
able advice gratis.

Very Rev. William j. Kenny of the
Church of the Immaculate Conception
bishop of ST. Augustine. to succeed the
late Bishop Moore. The news of the
appointment was received last night by
Bishop Kelley of Savannah. The ap>
pointment from Rome was transmitted
through Cardinel Martinelli. the Pope's
legate at Washington.
The Bishop-elect of st. Augustine is
we'll known to the priesthood In the
diocese of Savannah. though he has
never been connected with the diocese.
A sketch of the New Bishop.
Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. 29.-Father
w. ]. Kenny was born Oct 8. 1854, in
New York state, and studied in st.
Bonaventure,s College, from which he
was a graduate. On Jan. Is, 1879, he
was ordained as a priest by Bishop
Moore, in the Cathedral at St. Angus
tine, he having been sent to Florida
in the choice of fields. A few days
later, after the ordination, Father
Kenny came to Jacksonville to assist
Father Dufan, who was then in charge
of the Church of the Immaculate Con-
ception. After a brief stay here, he
was transferred to Palatka, in charge
of the missions, and worked very hard
in the interests OF the establishment
OF the Roman Catholic Church. At
the death of Father Dufan in 1884, he
was made pastor of the Church of the
Immaculate Conception, which posi-
ton he has continuously occu-
pied since then. Lately, since
the death of Bishop Moore,
July 30, he has had entire charge
of the diocese of st. Augustine, having
been appointed to that office by Bishop
Northrop of Charleston, acting for Car
dinal Gibbons, Archbishop of the prov
ince of Baltimore. He was thus at the
head of the diocese of st. Augustine in
all matters and affairs, with the ex-
ception of the functions that are pecu-
liarly episcopal. Previous to that,
Father Kenney had held the position
of vicar general of the diocese, which
title ceased to exist on the death of the
Bishop. During the time he acted as
vicar general, Father Kenney became
well acquainted with the work and the
needs of the diocese, and is now we'll
able to take up the thread of
diocesan work. Since he was ordained
| a priest, Father Kenny's field has been
| in this diocese and he is dearly be-
loved by not only his own parishoners,
| but throughout the state. In the re-
lief work in January, after the fire, he
took prominent part, being chair
man of the bureau of information of
the ExvSutive Relief Committee. He
| also served as a member of the special
Emergency Comt1ittee in the distribu-
ton of the fund to the needy.

FARMERS BUYING But LITTLE.

Columbus Enquirer-Sun: Every cir
cumstance indicates that the cotton
acreage in the section around Column
bus will be very considerably reduced
this year. And from all reports the
same condition prevails throughout
the South. The mule sales are very
short compared with last year. The
fertilizer sales are very considerably
reduced Preparations for planting the
new crop are much less extensive than
they were at this time last year AT
this time last year Columbus streets
were filled with farmers, buying mules,
contracting for guano and supplies,
buying vehicles and assuming obliga-
tions greater than they had taken on
in a number of years. The short cot
ton crop and the price Of the staple
showed that these expenditures had
been ill-judged. 1t was feared at the
time by far-seeing persons that such
would prove to be the case.

night authorized the Telegraph to say
that all assignments in the United
