OBITUARY.
John NicOIson.


After an illness of a week from
Bright's disease, Mr.. John Mic
olson died yesterday morning at
his home, No. 319 Gwinnett street, east.
His condition had been critical for sew
eral days and the end was expected.
Mr.. Nicholson was a native of
ck-on-the-Tweed. Scotland. He
was born Feb. 10, 1927, and
came to Savannah in 1853, two years
after he arrived in this country. He
was well-known citizen and for many
years was prominent in the business
world. He had been in i'll health for
some time.

found that he was in the last stages
of Bright's disease. Mr.. Nicolson was
loyal Scotchman and never forgot
his native land, although he had been
in this country half a century.

closely identified with Savannah's bus
mess life. Nearly six years ago he re-
tired from active work, and after
long visit to his native country re-
turned mere ana mas since made his

wife, who was Miss Matilda Hall of
Birmingham, England, and who died
in 1893. His eldest son, Robert B. S.
Nicolson. was drowned while bathing

From the Milwaukee Journal.
Reverence is a quality sadly lacking
in the youth of to-day. There is pre-
vailling an exaggerated idea of the
I'm as good as anybody. b'gosh" senti-
ment. So you are "as good as any
body" son. if you make yourself so.
But, being as good as anybody, you
VIII not need to thrust that in
formation on anyone. Nor will you need
to despise others, If you are really
worthy respect, you win not have to
make an effort to exact respect. And
it is mistake to imagine that treat
ing others with lack of respect elevates
yourself. Respect will be paid to real
worth by those whose opinions, are
worth the while. If your goodness does
not meet appreciation by people of
worthy character there is somthing the
matter with your goodness. 1t would
be we'll to make a personal inquiry
and locate the trouble.
The habit of treating sacred subjects
with levity is bad one. 1t kills rever-
ence in our hearts, and thus lowers our
standards of goodness. We need to
nourish high ideas of right, of good
ness, of holiness. or our characters are
degraded. When reverance goes out
greed, selfishness and inhumanity
comes in. Besides the wrong done to
our own natures when we fail to rever-
ence things held sacred, we do a griev-
Gus wrong to others. 1t is evil enough
TO lower our own standard of right. but
when we cloud the sense of purity. OF
saci ednesg, IN o hers II IS doubty wrong
IL we tail in ourselves to keep some
ideal holy for our aspirations let us
not drag the ideal of others in the dust
under our feet.

IMMUNITY TO DEE sTINGs.
Bee Keeper Becomes Proof Through
incubation with the Poison.


From the Medical Times.
That a person who has been often
stung by bees becomes in time immune
to the poison of the sting is asserted
by DR.. II. F. Parker. He reports that
when he first began to keep bees he
was frequently stung. and that each
sting was attended with acute pain:
but th0t as time went on the pain and
swelling became less. In the following
year, while transferring a hive OF
bees. he had an experience which he
thus relates:
sting followed sting in succession,
in legs, arms, fingers, neck and face, I
imagined what n picture l would pre-
sent, closed eyes and swollen hands
and feet. I worked on and so did the
bees. could feel the needle-like thrust,
but then 1t did not seem to pain SO
much, and at last finished the task.
With aching head, slight nausea and
vertigo slowly coming on, l left my
task with a sigh of relief for what
was accomplished. and filed with
wonderment as to what my personal
appearance would be.
Imagine my establishment to find
merely slightly raised red spots, like
little pimples. where the red stings
in the center, as the result of
each and every sting, must
have had something like forty of
them on various parts of my
body. My clothes were full of
them, but they. being so thick, did not
allow the stlngs to penetrate. The dir
illness. nausea and head ache left
me, and Richard was himself again.
when 1 again visited my bees 1
did not dread the singing properties
-, 81
as formerly, and then, and ever since,
/ have found that when a bee does
sting me the pain is only sharp for the
instant , and there Is an absence of the
after swelling.
II have since been stung many more
times than l was at that time and yet
none of the symptoms above referred to
has been reproduced. Am I not there
fore, immune to the poison of the honey
bee, at least to a certain extent?
"All authorities on bee culture state
the fact. as a crumb of comfort to
novices in bee keeping, that the poison
of bee will produce less and less
effect upon their systems. old bee
keepers, II is said, like Mithridates.
appear almost to thrive on the poison
itself Hush speaks of seeing the bald
head of Bonner, a celebrated prac-
teal aplarist, covered with stings,
which seems to produce upon him no
unpleasant effect, Rev. Mr.. Kleine ad-
vises beginners to allow themselves
to be stung frequently, assuring them
that in two seasons their systems will
become accustomed to the poison.
I'm conclusion, let me state that I
firmly believe that the beekeeper be-
comes inoculated with the poison OF
the bee, and usually becomes proof, or
at least immune, against it, and this
is no more to be doubted than the fact
that vaccination is a preventive against
small pox."

HOUSE PAYS CLAIMS
Payne Did All He Could to BaIIS the
Measures.

Washington, Jan. 30.-This was the
last private claims day of this Con-
gress in the House, and members with
bills on the calendar carried every
thing before them in Committee of the
Whole. Forty-five bills in all were
acted on favorably, despite the efforts
of Mr.. Payne, the Republican floor
others, to defeat some of them.
Many of the claims were old, dating
back to the Civil War, and "a few orig
mated prior to that time. The latter
were for balances due for carrying
mails in the South when the war broke
out. Mr.. Payne was particularly in
sistent in his opposition 20 these bills,
calling attention to the exposure of
the fraudulent character of many sim
liar claims in the Forty-fifth Congress.
He expressed the opinion that all these
claims had been paid before. The mem.
bers interestd stood together, however,
and voted him down every time he
demanded a division.
There were several bills to reimburse
postmasters and internal revenue col
lectors for stamps lost or stolen. One
was to pay the balance on a contract
for ice furnished the army hospitals in
the Mississippi Valley during the war.
The amount claimed is $4,000, and is
for ice at the rate of 80 cents a hum
bred pounds.
When the Committee of the Whole
reported the bills to the House Mr.
Payne blocked their final passage to-
day by making the point of no quorum.
But the friends of the claims refused
to be baked. A motion was made to
recess until tomorrow morning at 1O:3 80
O'Clock. in order to continue the legis-
lative day of to-day, and the sergeant
alarms and his deputies were sent out
to arrest and bring in absent members.
1t was s o'clock at night before the
requisite quorum was secured to carry
the motion and let the session go over
until 1880 tomorrow forenoon.

Expects to Oppose Bartlett in His
Next Race

Macon, Jan. 30.-There is strong
the we'll known Macon lawyer, will be
in the next race for Congress against
Hon. Chas. L. Bartlett from the Sixth
district. He stated to-day to a friend
that such was his intention and when
seen by reporter made no denial.
Col. Cooper came to Macon twelve
years ago from Gwinnett county, and
has since his location here risen rapid
~ in the ranks of the profession. He
was graduated from the state uni
versity and went at once into partner
ship with Judge R. L. Lyons, in which
relation he continued until the death
of the latter. In the year 1900, Col.
Cooper, though not elected, made a
strong race for the place of solicitor
of the Superior Court, there being six
other candidates in the field 1t was
this race that he proved himself to be
one of the best stump speakers in the
state. He said Immediately after the
campaign that he would be a candidate
for Congress. 1t is understood that he
has been making his plans since that
time.
Fire I'm VineviIIe.
There was an exciting fire to-day in
Vineville, the beautiful suburb across
the line from Macon, where they have
no fire department, on account of which
a fire creates a panic.
1t was the residence of ]. N. Talley,
stenographer of the United States
Court, which had taken fire from
defective f1ue in the kitchen. The con-
fagration, as it gained rapid Roadway,
was seen by a car full of passengers,
who were going home from dinner.
Realizing the situation, they all got
off and fought fire in the old-fash-
toned way with buckets and were en-
abled, by strenuous efforts to stay the
flames and save thousands of dollars
worth of property in the community.
