lars
During the session of the chemical
congress at Berlin. Prof. w. Markwald
of that ,city showed to the electro
chemical and physical section smudge
of dark .powder on a piece of paper.
which was the first time that any OF
those eninent scientists had seen the
metal 9polonium discovered by Profess
sor and Madame Curie of Paris. The
latter doubted whether polonium was a
primary element. or related to bismuth,
but Professor Arkwald demonstrated
that it was indeed a primary element.
He exhibited bit of metal weighing
15-100 of a grain, which was produced
from two tons of uranium at cost OF
$75. 1t is more sparsely distributed in
uranium than xenon, the most rarified
gas, Is in the atmosphere.
Professor Mark-vald proceeded to
give a marvellous exhibition of the
powers of his speck of polonium- 1t
intercepted a strong current of electric
ity passing through the air from the
generator to the receiver. the air ceas-
ing to be a conductor for the flashes.
Vhe room was then darkened and
pieces of barium. platinum and zinc
blende placed near the polonium
glowed with a bright. greenish light.
The assemblage of chemists were
thrilled with astonishment. 1t ap-
peared to be miracle.
In the section of organic prepara-
tions Professor Proskauor of Berlin
read paper on the sterilization of
drinking water with ozone and on
ozone water works, the German cleo
tricians having succeeded in producing
at small cost concentrated solution OF
ozone. The speaker, with Professor
Ohimueller and Professor Prall of the
imperial health office. made exhaustive
experiments with the solution in pur-
flying water. The experiments in
cluded tests with water artifcially i'm
pregnated with the deadliest disease
germs. like typhus. cholera and dys-
entery. Such water was pumped
through the so-called ozonizing tower
and then rigidly analyzed. All the
germs were found to be killed. whereas

Let the lover sing OF his lady
That is part of God His plan.
Let the gentle sing as he feeleth-
That also is God to man.
But for you. my comrades, l order
We shall question from sod to star;

For the God of things as they are"
When we strike we shall strike with fire.
When we bless we shall bless with joy
with the fire that God He lent US.
With the gladness unknowing alloy.
Yet even as each knoweth his weakness.
We shall firestrike only to bless;
And even as each knoweth his sorrow.
We shall gladden. that sorrow be less.
This have we sworn my comrades.
Wherever we scatter shift
My wild, gentle. true-hearted comrades.
Dear comrades, forever adrift.
And when our Lord God He shall call us
To answer the orders He made,
We shall fall into rank and salute Him
like gentlemen unafraid.'

"One More Dav!"

1 have quaffed the wine Of life:
Why should 7 drain the glass?
/ have seen the buds unfold
In their setting of dewy grass.
Why watch the flowers droop?
Why wait till the grass is dead?
What more has life to offer
When youth and joy have fled?
Yet the coward soul. in fear.
Will shrink from the beckoning hand
Or the boatman's whispered word
AS ever he waits on the strand:
It will drain the bitter dregs.
1t will watch the flower decay:
For ruined life is still a life
God grant us one more day!

SAVED BY BRIGHT REPLY.
How Smart Midshipman Got Himself
Out Of Scrape.

Out Of Scrape.
On board a man-of-war bound to
San Francisco from China was
young midshipman named Walters.
He was favorite with the officers.
and had in him the talent for making
fine officer The midshipmen on
board stood their watch forward, and
every hour 1t was their duty to come
aft and write up the weather columns
of the ships log. showing the readings
of the barometer and thermometer
and to heave the ships log to ascer-
tain her speed.
The captain, in company with the
officer of the deck. was walking the
weather side of the deck conversing
when Midshipman Walters came aft
to write up the log. The barometer, a
mercurial one. was hung in the cap
tain's cabin, and Walters. after having
read it. helped himself literally to tine
captains sherry on the cabin side
board In walking the deck the cap
tain happened to glance down the
cabin skylight and saw the midship.
mans proceedings. When Walters
came up on deck to heave the log the
captain addressed him as follows:
How is the barometer, sir?"
Walters saluted and said: STEAD
lily rising, sir; steadily rising"
The captain then asked: And how
is the decanter, sir?"
Walters was taken aback, but with
a steady voice replied: Steadily
falling, sir; steadily falling"
This reply was too much for the
captain, and. bursting out laughing. he
said: Young man, your bright reply
has saved you from punishment; but
it is a long way to Frisco, SO hereaf-
ter l beg of you not to consult the de-
canter as often as you do the baron.

MIR. MONEYS SPEECH
 WAS NOT RADICAL
Mississippi Senator's Remarks on IndianOla Garbled by the COrreSpOndentS---TO
 " Invite Veterans.

Washington. March 21-(special.) 1.-The Press Association reports of the speech of Senator Money on the Indianola case and incidentally on the race question were so garbled ad inaccurate that they did the Senator injustice. They made him say radical and reckless things that he did not say.
 The press reporters for these assooia- tions in Washington are invariably Northern men who know little or nothing about the race question and care less. Its discussion makes them tired, and un- less a debate on that question in Con- gress takes a sensational form in which some Southern member loses his temper and makes scene the occasion has no charm for the Northern correspondent or reporter. The press associations are usually fair and accurate. but on the oc- cation of Senator Moneys speech they gave 1t so little attention, a speech declar- ed on the floor of the Senate by Senator Foraker as the most remarkable and far-reaching yet delivered" that they were not prepared to do 1t the Justice either that it's importance, its merits. or it's significance abundantly warranted.
 Senator Money is reported through the Associated Press reports as saying that the South hated the administration and that the appointments made by President Roosevelt disgusted the Southern people.
 What Is the truth as to what Senator Money said?
 He cited a philosopher on government dS saying kOluen WOIuH LO lIo ttlCCL IHdt the best governed people were those who were so governed that they were made to love the government. It seemed to him that the policy of the administration as pursued in It's effort to punish the people of Indianola was to incur a hatred of the administration. That is how near MT. Money came to saying that the South hated the administration.
 The press associations reported MT. Money as saying that the appointments of President Roosevelt disgusted the Southern people. This is what MT. Money said which was so unJustly re- ported:
 "There have been negro postmasters throughout the South and there has been no trouble made on account of them. I have helped to confirm them right here. I think the administration knows it's business and in the next place if the President wants to make the Republican party odtous in Mississippi. shall give him that liberty, so far as ] am con- cerned. I want to say of all the appoint ments ever made in the State of Mis- sippi none has given so much general dis gust as some of those made by this ad- unInistratiOn."

Invitation to confsderates.

The Washington Passenger Agents Committee, composed of representatives of all the railways entering the Capital City, decided at "a meeting held this morning, to extend an invitation to the United Confederate Veterans Association, which meets in New Orleans in May, to hold the reunion of 1904 in this city.
 The local organizations of the general body will assist the passenger men in their contest for Washington, and a large delegation from this city will attend the New Orleans reunion to urge the national capital for the following meeting place. The Confederate veterans would un- doubtedly receive in Washington a hos pitable and enthusiastic greeting and en- tertainment. Washington is full of native old-time SOuthernerS, of Southern ante oedents and sympathies. They would delightedly welcome the old heroes. IL is believed too that many thousands of nothern visitors would come to the national capital for such an occasion who would feel a hesitancy in attending re- union of Confederates in a Southern city, and who would find a deep and diVerting interest in looking upon marching lines of the survivors of the incomparabe Southern armies. Washington has several times entertained the Grand Army of the organizations of soldiers of the union, but the old boys in grey have never marched along Pennsylvania Avenue, although forty years ago. next July, they might have been doing so if they had not been too tired to pursue the fugitives from Bull Run.
 It is a growing popular intention, if the effort of the promoters of the Con- federate Veterans meeting here shall prove successful. to make the reunion an occasion of especial brilliance socially as well as otherwise Many thousands of

Frank H. Council. Con- ' mitS Suicide. .',-r At One Time He Possessed Wealth, But Was Disheartened by Rever-
 ses in Business-Young
 Man Killed.

Birmingham, March a.-(special.) J. Frank H. Connell, President of ;he Nash vile Chair and Carriage Company. Nash Vile, Tenn, was run over and killed by caboose of an outgoing Southern Rail- way train, Selma division, this morning near the Twentieth Street railroad cross- ing, in the heart of the city.
 There were several eye-witnesses to the tragedy. and it is regarded by all as a case of suicide. Cornell was well-dress- cd, of gentesl appearance, and wore on his person jeweled Masonic keystone and two rings, one set with a diamond In his pockets were found lumber of letters and cards. and s4l .62, in green from one person whose signature is illeg- ible. points to some financial loss, as 1t attempts to encourage the man. Words like brace D." don't worry" appear. and mentions of s6,coo and $500 were noted in the communication which is written is pencil.
 Among the eye-witnesses were J. W. Brady. fagman of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. stationed at the Twentieth Street crossing, and Walter Nashville switch engine which passed the caboose a moment after the man dropped under 1t and was crushed by the rear trucks. J. w. Brady makes the following statement,
 'I was standing at the crossing flag ging as usual. l saw the man turn up the tracks from the street, but. of course, had no Idea of what he intended doing He walked probably thirty-fve feet and halted for a few seconds until the South ern extra train had almost passed him. As the caboose came by he squatted down end fell forward under the caboose. The rear wheels must have crushed him to death, as he lay motionless after the track was cleared"
 Robert Self an office boy employed with the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Company, who saw the affair, made the following statement
 1T was standing near the man when the train was passing. He stood watch ing the train until 1t was nearly by, and then he suddenly Jumped under 1t. going UT der the caboose."
 Cornell has besn in the city almost the entire week. He was weil-known by the furniture dealers of Birmingham. He had been acting queerly for the past day or two and yesterday was loitering about the depot when Officer Wright accosted him. He said that up to a short time since he was, worth from s75,0O0 to $l0O,- 000, and now ho was almost starving and was searching for job He was directed to Masonic friends. Where Connell had been sitting was found a small box which contained coCaine. It was partially empty.
 ConnelIs neck and back were broken
