1t is claimed that in it's thunderous
tones there is sweet music outclassing
that of all other kinds of drums.
The Chicago Drummers' Club, which
has been incorporated with the object
of maintaining and protecting bass
drums, will seek to make good this
claim. The incorporates are William
r. r. Barton, Edward J. Malley and
George H. Riley. Quarters will be
rented downtown in which the club
will hold forth and people desiring to
play the bass drum can join the club
and take lessons there.
There are a dozen different ways OF
playing a bass drum" one of the in
corporators said yesterday. 1T is gen.

The ShOe-HOrn Trade.

From the New York Commercial.
Since the disappearance of long-leg-
ged boots for men and the very gem
eral use of low subsequently, in
warm weather-by both men and wom-
en-, the shoe-horn has become more
than ever before an important article
of manufacture and sale. There are
sEoe-horns to be had for nothing, these
being given to the purchaser of shoes;
and then there are shoe-horns that cost
500 apiece or more. The shoe-horn is
made in these days in very great va
riety and of many materials, including
celluloid, steel, fine woods, silver tor
toise shell, ivory and gold. A writer

BAPTSTS OF GEORGIA
MEET TO-DAY In ATHENS

Athens, Ga. Nov. 1S.-To-morrow
morning ex-Gov. w. ]. Northen, as
president, will call the Georgia Bap-
fist Convention to order.
There will be more than 700 accred-
tied representatives at the convention.
and there is ample provision for their
accommodation. In addition to the
messengers there will be present fully
200 visitors.
The question of dividing the conven-
ton so as to have the Womans Mis-
sion Union meet at another time than
that of the state convention, will be
raised. This question has been broach-
ed for several years.
No opposition to the reelection of
ex-Gov. Northen as president is known
to exist.
The convention sermon will be
preached Thursday night by Rev. P.
The Savannah morning news., 1903-11-19

A. Jessup. Rev. A. w. Bealer of
brownsville, is the alternate to preach
this sermon.
1t is quite probable that the question
of alien immersion will be taken up,
and the question of withdrawing fell
lowship from the Tabernacle Baptist
Church in Atlanta will be debated. 1t
is understood that DR.. Broughton is
thoroughly Indifferent as to the action
that may be taken by the convention
touching his church.
This convention, representing 200,-
600 white Georgia Baptists and sixty
nine associations. will show a pros
porous years work.
The Woman's Missionary Union of
the Baptist Church held three inter-
esting sessions in Athens to-day There
are fully $50 delegates in attendance.
The reports of the officers show a
splendid increase in the work, and a
constant progress in every section of
the state. The union will adjourn to-
morrow.

Chances for Strike settlement AT
Chicago are Decreasing.

Chances for Strike settlement at
Chicago are Decreasing.
Chicago, Nov. 1S.-It was decided
tonight by the Chicago City Railway
Company to start cars tomorrow on
the Halstead street line. This will
make the fourth line in operation, the
cars having been successfully run on
the Wentworth avenue, Cottage Grove
avenue, and Indiana avenue line.
The Halstead street cars run through
a district where the chances for trou-
BILE are many, and if the line can be
successfully operated the company
will feel confident of being able to re-
sumo business in a very short time,
even though the attempts by the May
or to secure arbitration prove to be
somewhat protracted. The day was
the most quiet of the strike.
While it was quiet out of doors,
around the Mayors office it was eX-
ceedingly busy. The Council commit
tee appointed Monday night, with the
object of securing arbitration, if pos
sible, was in session the greater part
of the day. 1t met the officials of
the company and representatives of
the union and induced both sides to
agree to outline their views as to the
scrope the arbitration should have. A
committee representing all the unions
existing among the city transportation
companies called upon the Mayor and
while making no direct threats, allow
ed it to be understood by inference
that if arbitration was not promptly
secured a general strike would follow
on all lines in the city.
Late tonight Mayor Harrison said
the prospects for settlement of the
strike were not as hopeful as they
were Yesterday,

in the Sun has recently described some
of them: Celluliod shoe-horns are
made in different sizes and in all coll
ors. They cost as low as 10 cents
1t is the steel shoe-horn in its simp-
lest form that is given away to the
purchasers of shoes, and then there
are finer horns of steel, nickel plated
and handsomely finished, that sell for
so cents, rs cents, or it might be 81.
Some of these have a buttonhook at
the end of the handle.
Shoe-horns in fine woods are made Of
ebony and of snakeWood. Either can
be bought for 15 cents. Ivory shoe
horns come in probably fifty or more
varieties. There are some a foot in
length, which might prove quite con-
venient for man of generous girth,
who didn't want to bend too low. There
are horns of stained ivory, horns with
carved handles, and horns perfectly
plain and simple in design. You can
buy one for as little as SO, or from that
up to $14.
There are tortoise shell shoe-horns
that sell for more than the finest one
of ivory. One of amber would cost $25.
There are silver shoe-horns in
score of patterns as to handles, and in
still greater number of varieties,
counting styles of finish. Thus there is
a silver shoe-horn with a Louis XVI
Dandle, and one with handle In mar
quise style; another with a handle in
renaissance, one with a George III
handle, and so on; and in these silver
shoe-horns new styles are added from
time to time in an endeaVor for fur
Their variety and fresher novelty. Sill
yer shoe-horns are sold at all sorts of
prices, ranging from $3.50 to $22. Then
there are gold shoe-horns that may
cost 800 or more. one of good size, but

The report of Mrs. f. N. Graham of
Maryland, general superintendent Of

substantial and encouraging results.
One of the most hopeful facts is the
attitude of the leading officials of the
roads insisting on temperance among
employees. Twenty-Five saloons in

and soon the bush began to be filled
with sounds to which it had previous
ly been a stranger.
The islanders, who form a race new
to ethnologists, are supposed to be a
retrograde type, or else a more primi-
tive type than the ordinary. Aus
tralian aboriginal. They do not make
huts, as do the natives on the main
hnd, but simply collect heaps of grass
and sleep on the bare ground to the
leWard of them. Articles which have
to be carried from one place to another
are wrapped in bark, the use of bask-
cts being unknown, as is that of ca
noes, the water craft employed being
rudely constructed RATS, consisting
each of a couple of logs with some
light weed, propelled by branches as
paddles. Compared with the natives
on the mainland, the islanders SEEM
ed far behind in a knowledge of even
the rudest aboriginal appliances. They
have, however, a stringent system of
tribal classification, intended to repre-
sent different degrees of relationship
and to assist in preventing too close
intermarriage. The origin of this sys-
tenn, so prevalent among all classes of
Australian aboriginals remains an UNI
solved mystery. Its existence on Morn
ington island was discovered by DR.

to speak to one of the tame" boys be-
cause he was his "father-in-law

ry, and much to the amusement of the
two explorers they found an island
woman flirting with one of the tame"
blacks, she having ascertained that
both belonged to the same class and
that she, therefore. could marry him If
he were willing. Notwithstanding the
rough nature of life among the island
ers they looked strong and healthy. al
though somewhat understood, and were
apparently of a peaceful disposition.
They were ignorant of the arts of Gull
tivation, their food consisting of wild
fruits, fish and meat, fire being OBJ
tanned by rubbing a couple of sticks
together Except their weapons and
a few cooking appliances there is no
personal property, almost everything
being shared in common. 1t is proba-
BILE that a second visit may be paid
to the island few months hence. when
some further information respecting
the islanders will be procurable, there
being an opinion that further investi
cation will assist in throwing some
light on the character of Australian
aboriginal life in the past.

A Timely Suggestion.

This is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenshes her supply of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy. 1t is certain to be
needed before the winter is over, and
results are much more prompt and
satisfactory when it is kept at
hand and given as soon as the cold is
contracted and before it has become
settled in the system. In almost every
instance a severe cold may be warded
off by taking this remedy freely as soon
as the first indication of the cold APP
pears. There is no danger in giving 1t
to children, for it contains no harmful
substance. 1t is pleasant to take-both
adults and children like it. Buy it and
you will get the best. 1t always cures.

FLORIDA'S FIGHT ON
PHOSPHATE RATES
Expected it Will be Two Weeks Before the Com
mission Reaches Decision

Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. 1S.-To-day
the Florida Railroad Commission
transmitted to the attorneys for the
various railroads in the phosphate
rate case the evidence before the board
in the nature of correspondence from
the phosphate miners of Florida.
The character of abe evidence is
such that the Railroad Commission, if
it needs the wishes of the miners, Civ
ing each the right to be heard accord
ing to the tonnage they represent,
must find that the miners are opposed
TO a change of rate, but on the other
hand there are conditions to be con-
of the miners which will have dis
tinct and peculiar bearing on the case
There are four extensive miners in
Florida. They are II. F. Dutton &
Co. of Gainesville, w. N. Camp of
Ocala, Buttenbach & Co. of Holder
and the Dunnellon Phosphate Com
pany. These miners represent a great
majority of the output of high grade
Florida rock. With the exception of
w. N Camp all of them are opposed
to a change.
H. f. Dutton & Co. of Gainesville
claim the rate If lowered would not
benefit the Florida producer. but would
prove beneficial to the European con-
sumner. They claim that the entire
matter was brought about by politics
and insist that the commission use it's
influence in preventing politics from
entering into this great industry.
The Dunnellon Phosphate Company
claims that the brokers are already
specializing in phosphate because of
the agitation of a proposed reduction
and that if the rate is secured they

BREAK IN THE MARK EFT.

sharp Fall in Cotton Came Just BE-
fore the Close.
New York. Nov. 1S.-Just before the
close to-day the cotton market broke
sharply under heavy selling from prac-
tically all sources which were attract
ed by rumors that the big bull leaders
were unloading. The market, while
irregular, had shown a thorough de-
gree of stability early, with prices at
one time 10 to Is points higher on cold
weather news carrying on bull support.
The close was weak at a loss from the
best of about 25@2S points, and net 1870
20 points lower. The sales were esti-
mated at 100000 bales.
