OBITUARY.


1t was with a distinct shock yester-
day that the many friends of Mr.. Ed
win l.. Courvoisier learned of his death,
Whitaker street, about noon. Mr.
Courvoisier had been i'll for a week or
more, but had been up and about his
business until noon the day before that
of his death.
Death came as the result of a compli-
cation of diseases, but came so sudden
ly that not even the members of the
family were aware of how ill the young
man was until within a few hours of
the end.
Mr.. Courvoisier who lacked but a
short time of attaining his majority,
was one of the best known and popu-
lar young men of the city. For years
he has been connected in business with
Mr.. G. H. Dorset, in whose estima-
ton, as in the estimation of all others
who knew him, he occupied an excep-
tionally high place. Mr.. Dorsett, who
is out of the city, was notified of the
young mans death He wired his in
tention of returning home at once.
Mr.. Courvoisier was also one of the
best athletes and one of the most pop
ular men of the Y. M. c. A He took
an active part in all the games and
sports of that institution, especially
basket ball. The Savannah Associa-
ton now holds the championship of
two states, won by a team of which
he was the captain and the best player.
How popular he was among his fell
low members was shown when the
news of his death was received. All of
the members who heard the unfortu-
nate news expressed the sincerest sor-
row, and Immediately began prepara-
lions to send to the funeral a floral
tribute that will testify in some meas
ure to the affection In which Dutch"
as he was affectionately known, is
held.
From the Y. M c. A., too, will be
selected the pall-bearers, all his old
friends and companions, opopnents and
comrades in many friendly though
hard fought game. These are
H. Y. Righton, w. T. Doty, w. II.

Walter Stillwell. The funeral will take
place tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
The services, both at the house and
the grave, will be conducted by Rev.
Ed. F. Cook, pastor of Wesley Monu-
mental Church. The burial will be
made in Laurel Grove Cemetery.

been dead for number of years, but
among surviving relatives are three
brothers and four sisters. These are

Towns and with Fatal. Results.
San Juan, Porto Rico, Oct. 29.-In-
complete returns from various parts of
the island regarding the last registra-
ton day, yesterday. confirm the reports
that riots and shootings occurred in
many towns and that violence was used
everywhere. The rumor that the Fed
erals were shut out at San Lorenzo,
where a mob attacked the police with
the result that two of the rioters were
killed and fifteen men. among whom
were three policemen, were desperately
wounded is also confirmed. 1t is add
ed that the mob entered the town car
rying a corpse at the head of the pro-
cession.
New and imperative instructions had
been issued by the government for yes
terday's registrations, but they were
generally disregarded by the election
judges. The FedeNals were not per-
mitted to register and were forcibly
kept out of the booths. There was prac-
tically no Federal registration through
out the island.

PROF. JENK'S REPORT.

He Says the FiIipinOs Have Receiv-
ed Largest Measure of Colonial In
dependence.
Washington. Oct. 29-The report
made by Prof. jerks of Cornell Uni
versity on his observations in the Eng
lish and HolIandese possessions in the
Orient was made public to-day by the
War Department.
Prof. jerks says that notwithstand-
ing considerable progress has been
made in the dependencies during re-
cent decades in no country visited has
much been done looking to the estab-
hshment of self-government. Nowhere
in the dependencies of England. Hol-
land or France in the Orient has there
been granted, he says, so great a meas
ure of self-government as the United
States has already given to the Fill
pinos.
Prof. jerks, with respect to a cur.
rency system for the Philippines. in,
clines to recommend a fixed rate of
exchange with gold between the ISL
ands and the United States. This is in
accord with the suggestion of the Phil
ippine Commission.
recommendation is made that en-
ployers of labor be permitted to in
troduce Chinese laborers into the Phif-
ippines under contract for a period of
not over three years in each individual
instance.
Following the almost universal Gus
tom of Oriental countries, it is sur-
gested that it would be best for the
government to retain the title to lands
and lease them for somewhat long ne
riods-thirty years or scat a fixed
rental, reserving the right to revise
the terms of rent at the end of the
period named.

mittee Makes Recomme tions.
London. Oct. 2s.-The report of Eve
Ign Cecil. M. p. chairman of the Par
liamentary Subsidies Committee. on the
matter of the British ship subsidies,
makes the following recommendations:
No subsidies are to be granted ex-
cept for services rendered. In grant,
ing subsidies British lines Of steamers
should be favored.
Speed should be made a condition of
all subsidy contracts. No subsidized
vessel shall be sold abroad without the
consent of the government, under pain
of forfeiture of the subsidy or heavy
fine.
A majority of the directorate of sub
sidiZed vessels should be British and
the government should have general
control of freight rates and fares.
The Board of Trade regulations
should be enforced against foreign
ships in British ports, and the light
house dues now paid by British ships
should be abolished.
The question of excluding foreign
ships from the British coasting trade
should be considered with a view to
exacting a fine or license from such
ships based upon any subsidy they may
receive from their own governments.

After Searching Over Three States
for Three Years.
st. Louis. Oct. 29.-After a search
that has extended over three states,
and lasted nearly three years, Henry
M. Wills, a professor at the National
University, Washington, d. c., has
located his two little daughters in the
Methodist Orphans Home here. Prof,
Wills applied for a writ of habeas cor
pus, asking that the children be re-
stored to him. In 1899 the parents were
divorced and the mother took
the little girls to Tennessee
from their former home in Indiana.
Mr. Wills claims he filed an applica-
ton in the District Court of Gibson
county, Tennessee, asking for the GUS
tody of the children, but that they
were removed from the state.
Judge Fisher of the Circuit Court
granted the application for the writ
Of habeas corpus. and it was issued
to-day, being returnable tomorrow.

MAN OF MANY SCARS.
Capt. Heinrich DutOit md His
Countless wounds.

Capt. Heinrich DutOit md His
Countless wounds.
From Philadelphia North American.
Probably no other man in the history
of modern warfare has suffered as
many wounds and lived to tell the tale
as has Capt. Heinrich Dutoit, officer
in the Boer artillery, who assisted
President Kruger's former State Sec
rotary, Francis w. Reitz, In his lee
ture in Turner Hall last night.
Twenty-eight scars, not including
sabre slashes and Kafiir spear thrusts,
which he characterized as mere
scratches, show where as many bullets
have passed either wholly or partial
ly through the captains body. From
them he suffers not the slightest in
convenience now.
Capt Dutoit was in every battle of
consequence and scores of minor en-
gagements in the South African war.
In them ALL as captain of his artillery
company, he was on the aiming plat
form of one of his guns, several feet
higher than the rest of his men. This
is said to account for his being wound
ed SO frequently.
At the battle of Dalana Hill, Oct. 20.
1899, he was first hit, one bullet going
through the calf of his right leg and
another through the thigh.
At Balmoral a bullet went through
the same leg. In one of the fights be-
fore Ladysmith, on Oct 80, 1899, a
British shell struck the revolver in his
hip and exploded. The revolver was
torn to pieces and forced into his
hip. At the same time thirteen bull
lets from the shell took effect in his
left leg above the knee.
In January, 1900. while hobbling
about on crutch, Capt. Dutoit fought
all day at Spion Kop and was again
wounded in the same leg.

1T IS DOUBTFUL
If Local Applications Alone Ever
Cured q Case of Catarrh.

Most remedies for the treatment of
catarrh are in the form of sprays in
halers, powders washes or salves, all
purely local applications and many of
them often give temporary relief, but
the reason none of them ever really
cure chronic catarrh is because catarrh
is not a local disease and it cannot be
cured simply by treating the local
symptoms.
Moreover the more serious forms of
catarrh, like catarrh of the stomach
and catarrh of the bronchial tubes, can
not be reached at all by local applica-
tons and the fact that neglected ca
tarrh of the head very soon involves
the bronchial tubes, stomach and liver,
demonstrates that the disease is blood
disorder, a constitutional malady and
not at all a local disease.
To really cure catarrh the system
must be cleansed from catarrhal poi
son by an internal remedy which acts
effectively upon the blood and liver.
The success of a new catarrh remedy,
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, is because 1t
drives out of the system, through nat
ural channels, the catarrhal poison and
the mucous lining of the nose, throat
and trachea are freed from the Excess
sive mucous, which collects and causes
the hawking, splitting and gagging, be-
cause the excessive secretion is not fur
nished from healthy blood.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets contain
many of the same valuable antiseptics
used in sprays and inhalers, but in
stead of being applied to the iniamed
membranes of the nose and throat, they
are taken into the stomach and thus
reach the blood, the real seat and cause
of the disease.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges, composed
of Red Gum, Hydrastan, Bloodroot, and
similar catarrh specifics, and so safe to
use that little children suffering from
colds take them with same beneficial
results as adult persons
No trace of cocaine or opiates.so COM
mon in catarrh medicines, can be found
in Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.

ROOSEvELTS OPINION.
Presidents Idea of n Presidents
Duty Expressed Before He Was
Made Pre- sident.

Made Pre- sident.
Boston, Oct. 29.-In an article writ
ten for the Youths Companion. which
will be published next week, Theodore
Roosevelt gives his ideas of the duties
and responsibilities of the President of
the United States. He wrote the arti-
Gle in 1900 while he was Governor of
New York and previous to the Repub-
lean national convention which nomi-
mated him for Vice President. In the
article Mr.. Roosevelt says:
The President of the United States
occupies a position of peculiar impor-
lance. In the whole world there is no
other ruler, certainly no other ruler
under free institutions, whose power
compares with his. OF course there
is the enormous-personal factor of the
incumbent himself to be considered en-
trely apart from the power of the Office
itself This is merely another way of
stating that in any office the personal
question is always of vital conse-
quence.
The senators are the constitutional
advisers of the President. The secre-
taries who form the cabinet advise him
on matters of general policy when he
so desires it. With the Senate the ad-
vice and consultation are obligatory
under the constitution. The Senate
has no right to dictate to the Presi-
dent who shall be appointed, but they
have an entire right to say who shall
not be appointed, for under the con-
stitution this has been made their duty.
although many men must share
with the President the responsibility,
there is upon him always a heavy bur-
den of responsibility. 1t is easy enough
to give a bad administration, but to
give good administration demands the
most anxious thought, no less than
very unusual powers of mind.
There is every reason why the Presi-
dent should be held to a sharp ac-
countability alike for what he does and
for what he leaves undone. But we
injure ourselves and the nation if we
fail to treat with proper re-
spect the man who, in the
highest office in our land, is
striving to do his duty. We have had
Presidents who have acted weakly or
unwisely in particular crises, but we
have never had one concerning whose
personal integrity there was so much
as a shadow of suspicion. Appointments
and policies which are normally rou-
tine and unimportant may sud-
denly become of absolutely vital
consequence. The War Department was
utterly neglected for over thirty years
after the Civil War. Neither the regu-
lar officer nor the regular soldier takes
any part in politics as a rule, so that
the demagogue and bread-and- butter
politicians have no fear of his vote:
and to both of them, and also to the
cheap sensational newspaper, the army
offers a favorite subject for attack
Altogether there are few harder
tasks than that of filling we'll and ably
the Office of President of the United
States. But if the man at the close
of his term is able to feel that he has
done his duty we'll he has the salts
faction of feeling that he has per-
formed one of the great world tasks,
and that the mere performance is in
itself the greatest of all possible re-
wards"

THE STEEL TRUST CASE.
Temporary Injunction Restraints Is
sue of Bonds.

Newark, N. j.. Oct. 29.-Vice Chan
cellor Emery to-day filed his decision
in the suit of ]. Aspinwall Hodge and
others to prevent. the United States
Steel Corporation from retiring $780,
100000 of preferred stock and issuing
S25OOOO,OOO in bonds. In his decision
the vice chancellor says:
Il will advise that a preliminary in
junction be granted restraining the is
sue of bonds under the resolution"
The resolution referred to by the vice
chancellor was adopted by the direc-
tors of the United States Steel Corpora
ton and ordered the retirement of the
preferred stock. Vice Chancellor EN-
cry decides that the meeting of the
directors, at which the resolution was
adopted, was prematurely called, and
that the retirement of the stock under
the resolution must therefore be en-
Joined. The decision of the vice chan
cellor agrees with the decision of the
Court of Errors and Appeals in the
Berger case on all other points.

Montreal, Oct. 29.-Two thousaAd
dock laborers went on strike to-day,
completely tieing up the business of

all season on a fiat scale of 20 cents
per hour, night or day work, and they
now demand payment at the rate of 80
cents per hour for day work and 35

conceded. The demand is based upon
the great increase in the cost of liv-
ing.

Washington, Oct. pa severe
shake-up is soon to be made in the i'm
migration service at Ellis Island, fol-
lowing a secret investigation that has
been made into the condition of affairs
in the island. Some of the facts are
to be placed before the grand Jury in
New York. The Department of Justice
is understood to be handling the facts
for presentation to the grand jury.
The outlook is that about five inspec-
tors of immigration and a number of
lesser officials will be dismissed. The
investigation shows, it is claimed, that
for years a system of petty thieving
and blackmail has been going on. Be-
sides the dismissals, there will be
shifting of about forty privilege"
men. Railroad and steamship compa-
MES will likewise be held responsible
in the future for their employees.

A DEANS HERESY.
He Does Not Accept Some of the
ScriHturaI Statements.


London, Oct. 29.-Very Rev. w. II.
Fremantle, dean of Ripon. addressing
a meeting of the churchman's union to-
day on the subject of natural Chris
tianity, created a sensation by suggest
ing that the idea of the immaculate
conception should be left out of ac-
count. because. except in st. Matthew
and St. Luke. the virginia. birth of
Christ is not mentioned in the tesla
ment. The speaker then proceeded to
ask whether it was irreverent to be-
lieve that Christ, in the matter of mira
Giles, such as raising the dead, etc,
failed to make a distinction between
death and various forms of uncon-
seriousness. With regard to the resur-
rection, the dean of Ripon said he con-
sidered this was meant spiritually
and not materially.
