and the :mprobability that any injury
would be offered them-as the Indians in
ambush were not supposed to be yet ready
to reveal themselves-they urged them
to 20 in a body to the spring and each OF
them bring up bucketful Of water Some
Of the women, as was natural, had no rel
ish for the undertaking, and asked why
the men could not bring the water as well
a themselves, observing that they were
not bullet-proof, and that the Indians
made no distinction between male and fe-
male scalps. To this it was answered
that women were in the habit of bringing
water every morning to the fort, and that
h the Indians saw them engaged as usual
II would induce them to think that their
ambuscade had not been discovered, and
that they would not unmask themselves
for the sake Of firing upon few women,
when they hoped, by remaining concealed
q while longer, to obtain complete posses
sion of the fort; that il men should go
down to the spring the Indians would
Immediately suspect that something was
wrong, would despair of succeeding by

upon them, follow them into the fort, OIL
shoot them down at the spring.

FORESTRY IN The SOUTH.
A Charleston, S. c., Lumber Firm
Will Put O,000 Acres Under
Forest Management.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The lumber
firm, E. B. Burton & Co., of Char
lesion, S. c., has asked for the help
of the Bureau of Forestry in managing
go, coo acres of pine forest about 30
miles northwest of Charleston, on the
Cooper River. The compapy's mills
have capacity of 90, 600, 900 board
feet a year, and the company wishes
to know, among other things, whether
the yearly increase in growth of its
present forest is sufficient to supply
its mills. If it should be found not
to be sufficient, the company desire to
know how many additional acres are
required to make it SO.
A party under T. E. Olmstead has
been sent to the field to collect figures
and make the calculations necessary
for the working plan that will answer
the company's inquiries. The forest
consists mainly of loblolly, with some
long leaf and Spruce pine. 1t con-
tains also some large sWamps with
heavy stands of cypress, gum and oaks
Logging is done by steam skidders.
The logs are transported by railroad
to Cooper River and rated to
Charleston. The working plan will
include an estimate of the present
stand and what it is producing yearly !;
an estimate of the number of addi-
tional acres necessary to afford the
mill sustained supply; a system of
protection from FIRE; and certain
siIvicultural work connected with the
growth of trees under different condi-
tions. The party will be occupied
during December, January and Feb
ruary. Owing to the rapid growth Of
the pines in the virgin forest and the
ease with which natural reproduction
is obtained, the opportunity is ex-
ceptionally favorable for the applica-
ton of practical forestry.

HOnORING EX-spEhKER
THOMAS B. REED.
House of Representatives Adjourn
as a Mark Of Respect.

Washington, Dec. s.-The house to-
day paid remarkable tribute to the
memory OF ex.Speaker Thomas B.
Reed. His death had created a pro-
found impression and there was a uni
yersal desire among the members that
the house show signal mark of re-
spect to his memory. For the house
to take action on the death of a former
member had only three precedents in
its history, namely, on the occasions
of the death of Benton Blaine, and
Alexander Stephens, when the house
adopted resolutions and adjourned out
of respect to their memory. It was
decided to follow these precedents in
the case of Mr.. Reed. The chaplain
at the opening of the session paid
feeling reference to the death of the
ex-speaker. No business was trans
acted beyond the formal reading of
two messages from the president and
an arrangement to postpone the special
order for today-the London dock
charge bill-until tomorrow.
Mr.. Sherman of New York then,
amid profound silence, arose and in
few feeling remarks offered the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That the following min
ute be spread upon the record of the
house of representatives Hon. Thomas
Brackett Reed died in Washington
Dec. 2, 1902. For % years he had
been member of this house; for six
years its speaker. His service term
mated with the 55th congress; within
this chamber the scene of his hfe's
greatest activities was laid. Here he
rendered services to his country which
placed him in the front rank Of Ameri-
can Craftsmanship. Here he exhibit.
ed chraerisiic which ccmlpelled re-
specs and won admiration. Forceful
ability, intrinsic worth, strength Of
character, brought him popular fame
and congressional leadership. In him
depth and breadth of intellect, with q
full and well rounded development,
had produced giant who lowered
above his fellows and impressed them
with is power and his wisdom. A
distinguished statesman, a lofty
patriot, a cultured scholar, an incisi7e
writer, unique orator, an unmatched
debater, a master of logic with satire,
the most famous of the worlds parlia-
mentarians, the great and representa-
tive citizen of the American republic
has gone into history.
- Resolved, That in honor of the dis
tinguished dead the house do now ad-
journ.
When the reading of the resolutions
had been concluded, Speaker Hender-
son asked if there was objection to
their present consideration. The
silence remained unbroken. The re-
solutions were then unanimously
adopted, and accordingly at II. Is the
speaker declared the house adjourned
ont of respect to the memory of Mr..
Reed.
