OBITUARY..
John Pierre GayOOu.

Mr.. John Pierre Gayoou died yester-
day morning at o'clock at his home,
No. 209 Perry street, west. The i'm
mediate cause of his death was tu-
berculosis, which developed recently.
Before that he had suffered from ca
tarrh of the stomach.
Mr.. Gayoou was a native of South
ern France, and was 60 years of age.
He had been a resident of Savannah
almost continuously since 1861, when
he first came to this country. With
the exception of one year spent in
Philadelphia, and a short time at Mas
sau, this city is the only place in which
he had resided in this country.
Many SaVannahians knew Mr.. Ga
yoou well. For many years he was
connected with the Pulaski House. He
probably died without an enemy. In
his financial dealings with his fell
lowmen he was just and equitable,
and closed his life without a debt I'M
paid or a financial obligation not fully
met. His family in France is a well
known one. He had an uncle who is
a Bishop of the Catholic Church in
France. The only immediate relativs
he leaves in Savannah is a wife, who
during his illness was untiring and
active in her efforts to comfort him
and care for his physical wants. He
leaves several brothers and sisters in
France.
During the Civil War Mr.. Gayoou
was a Southern sympathizer, and did
service for the Confederacy in running
the blockade between Nassau and
Charleston.
The funeral will take place this aft
OF ~ From rpcidpnHa
on Perry street. The interment will
be in Laurel Grove Cemetery. The
pallbearers will be Messrs. John Lyons.

MEXICAN BONDS SOLD.
Speyer & Co. Made a Purchase of
$4,000. 900 Worth.

Mexico City, April 1O.-The sale of
$4,000, 600 of Az per cent. treasury notes
to the New York banking firm of
Speyer & Co. is announced. The fol-
lowing reason for the bond issue Is
given semi-officially:
Two years ago Congress authorized
the executive to contract a loan to
supply the necessary funds for the ex-
ecution of certain public works of
much Importance, but the unpropi-
tious condition of the money centers
of the world since that time prevented
the negotiation of the loan, and in
May last year, Congress authorized the
executive to issue short time treasury
notes at an interest not exceeding Az
per cent. at the rate of commission of
not less than 81 per cent. on their
face value. The money so raised will
be applied to increase the partnership
capital of the government and Sir
Weetnan Pearson in the Tehauntepec
Railway, to be applied in part to the
port works at Salina Cruz and Coatza-
coalcos, ETC.: the metallic wharf at
Tampico and the water supply of the

ICE JAM CAUSED FLOOD.

Montreal. April 1O.-Three thousand
,.,ls in the village of Verdun, ad-
i.i,,i,,, The western limits of the city
>. Montreal, are tonight living in the
.,,re, stories of their houses. while
sa,.oraI thousand more. who reside in

g charles, are in danger.
rsrIv to-day large quantity of ice
came down from Lake st. Louis and
is,oned up against Victoria bridge.
u, few minutes the water began to

40 ron of the dyke built after the last
graat flood, and which has been up to
the present time, sutticient protec-
ION In a short time it became pos
sh,o to navigate all that portion of
verdun in the neighborhood of the
'Ve-n $ Park, with boats.
An the teams that could be pressed

ontrc and raising the dyke. AT 6

~ siy feet on the streets. 1t then be-
Oon 10 fall. and at o'clock had gone
down a foot.
Tho danger is by no means over yet,
for there is more ice to come down.
While the water in front of the city
has beeu dangerously high all day, no
damage has been done, and it is ex-
nected that the costly flood protection
works will do their work.
Ia Prairie, which is situated oppo-
site Verdun, was flooded at an early
bour to-day, and four houses situated
on the river front were carried off
their foundations by the ice. Lachine.

JOSEPH SMITH HARPS
UPON M0N0GAMY.
He Tells His Followers That 1t Is
the Proper Thing.

the Proper Thing.
Kirkland, Mo-, April 10.-There were
1900 people present at to-days reli-
gious exercises of the fifty-first an
nual conference of the reorganized
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints now in session at this place
The day was given up entirely to
preaching and religious exercises, the
sermons being delivered by President
Joseph Smith this morning, Apostle
H. C. Smith of Lamont this afternoon
and Richard c. Evans of London, On
tario. this evening.
The principal sermon was by Presi-
dent Joseph Smith. whose theme was
upon three points, 1.-The ancient land
marks, the law and the testimony,
let no man break the law of the
land"
The address was an able review of
Mormon history of recent years and
a denial of the charge that the Book
of Mormons teaches or advocates
polygamy. The speaker maintained
that the contrary was the case, that
the Book of Mormons taught, with
the Bible, that one husband should
have one wife and one wife one hus-
band. President Smith said that the
members of the reorganized Church Of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
were firm believers in the laws of
God and of His guidance of the affairs
of this country, and WERE therefore,
loyal citizens because of their adher-
ence to the teachings of God.
A feature of to-day's proceedings
was the unusually large number Of
persons named Smith taking part in
the several portions of the days pro-
ceedings, more than a dozen speak
ers, singers or presiding officers of
that name being on the programme.

WILL KEEP OUT CHINESE.

Washington, April 10.--In cabinet
meetings and In conferences the whole
subject of the status of the Chinese
immigration question, as 1t will be
after the lapse of the existing treaty,
has been thoroughly digested, and it
can be stated that the administration
feels that it has ample warrant for
continuing to enforce the rigid pro-
visions of the Chinese exclusion, re-
gardless of the denunciatIon of the
treaty. So far from opening the door
to the Chinese immigration, the lapse
of the treaty will, it is said. actual
ly render the entrance of Chinese into
this country more difficult than while
the treaty remained in force.

AUSTRIA AND ITALY HAVE
PATCHED UP DIFFERENCES.
The Meeting ut Abbazzia Proved En-
hrely Satisfactory.

nrely satisfactory.
Rome, April 10.-Signor Titoni, the
Italian foreign minister, in an inter-
view to-day said that he and Count
Goluchowskl, the Austrian foreign min
ister' We're entirely satisfied with their
meeting at Abbazzia, the result of
which he would communicate to Par
lament. The following, telegraphed
from Vienna to the newspaper indie
pendente, causes a sensation:
The resurrection of the agitation in
italy, in which the agitators claimed
the Italian provinces still under Aus
tria, so strained the relations of the
Two countries that they were several
times on the point of declaring war.
Austria was indignant when Italy
protested to the Emperor of Germany,
VINO according to the triple alliance, is
the arbiter of Austro- Italian disputes.
The Emperor decided that italy was
wrong In not repressing the anti-Aus-
TRAN movement. and that Austria
would be wrong If she tried to occupy
Albania and thus conflict with Italian
interests.
There being no appeal from this de-
cNAiO <AASll Id QGClQSu "
complete the accord obtained through
the meeting at Naples of Emperor Will
liam and King Victor Emmanuel, in
whose toasts, contrary to other similar
manifestations, Emperor Francis Jo-
seph was cordially alluded to.
Besides this meeting at Abbazzia,
which occurred in one of the italian
provinces, subject to Austria, is to be
understood as Italy's formal renuncia-
ton OF those provinces"
Bad Austro-Italian feeling, in which
there is risk of checking the work Of
diplomacy, has been aroused by an incl
dent Which occurred while the meeting
between the ministers at Abbazzia was
taxing place. The Italian steamer Mol
fetta, on arriving at Cattario "a forth
NED seaport in the Austrian province
OF Dalmatia), was approached by Aus
trlan gendarmes, who said they wished
10 inspect the vessel. The captain of
the Molfetta refused to allow the gend-
arines to come on board if they carried
arms, and the soldiers threatened to at
tack the steamer. The captain dis
played the Italian flag over the gang
way when the gendarmes were ordered
10 nre. Before the order could be car
RED into effect, the captain yielded in
order to avoid bloodshed. The govern
ment will bring the matter to the at
tention of the Austrian government and
ask for an explanation.

New York. April 10.-William Nc

fve-year sentence in New Jersey for
melting the silk trade riots in Pater-
son in June, 1902, arrived to-day on
the st. Paul from Southampton. trav-
cling under an assumed name. Tues
day he will surrender himself to the
sheriff of Passaic county in order to
serve his sentence, from which he has
appealed in vain.
Mcqueen left America while under
$4,000 bail, and in so doing is said to
have caused his bondsmen not little
trouble, but this matter seems to have
been satisfactorily adjusted. He says
that he means, if possible, to blot OUT
the stain which has been unjustly
placed on his name. Mcqueen said he
wished to deny most emphatically any
imputation that he was in any way
concerned with Bresci in the assassi-
nation of King Humbert, "or any 9TH
er violent exhibition of anarchy in
which unjust persons have assumed to
mention my name as participant"
After relating the incidents leading
up to the riots, he continued:
Il was out on the street during all
the trouble, and went here and there
among the rioters and pleaded with
them to stop their rioting, to lay down
their arms and listen TO reason. While
am, philosophically speaking, an an
archist l am opposed to any and ev-
cry form of violence, and there was
never a moment in my life when l
was more sincere than in moving
among that excited mob and calling to
them to stop firing"
He declared that he visited Eng
land while on bail, solely for the pur-
pose of seeing that his family should
he nrnvided for.

THE HYDR0STATIC PARADOX.
From the New York Press.


OF all the wonders of nature the
chief, perhaps. is the principle of the
hydrostatic paradox, which is--that
any quantity of a perfect liquid how
ever small, may be made to balance
anw weight, however great. 1t renders
the brain almost dizzy to comprehend
the fact that a vertical pipe one inch
in diameter and ten feet long filled
with water will exert precisely the
same pressure at it's base as will an
other pipe of the same diameter TWEEN
ty miles long, or 1000 miles, laid at
an inclination so as to make It's varti-
cal depth of water also ten feet. The
mind reels at the thought that a pres
sure Of one pound, through a pipe one
inch square becomes a pressure of L.
900 pounds again a pipe with an area
of 1000 square inches.
The foregoing paragraph was sug-
gested by this:
Dear Tip-A vertical pipe filled with
water to a height which would give
| pressure of twenty pounds to the
square inch at the base, the area of
said pipe being equivalent to one square
inch, opens at the lower end into a
sealed barrel filled with water. A bets
B that the head of the barrel will not
be broken out by the pressure of
twenty pounds from the pipe. Who
wins?
Rather clumsily put. But look up the
principle of the hydrostatic paradox.
Assuming that the head of the barrel
is eighteen inches in diameter the to-
tai upward or outward pressure against
1t is $3.50 pounds. If 1t isn't built up
to Withstand that pressure the prob
abillties are that 1T would be broken
out.
Under a pressure of 5000 pounds to
the square inch water will ooze
through cast iron eight or ten inches
thick. Under pressure of only $50
pounds to the square inch it will go
through iron half an inch thick.
Feathers and Lead.
The most venerable Of gags-which
is the heavier, a pound of feathers or
pound of lead?-nearly caused a fight
between two excellent friends in the
lobby of a Forty-second street theater
Tuesday afternoon. Many laugh
have we heard and had over it, In
the open air the substance, of course,
balance each other, but in the ex-
hausted bell-glass of an air-pump the
feathers will outweigh the lead by as
much as the bulk of air which
they displaced outweighs the bulk
Of air displaced by the lead.
n FarIOr Trick
Place block of some light wood.
perfectly fiat and smooth, upon the
fat and smooth bottom of a vessel.
and hold it there until the vessel is
filled with water. Then remove the
hand and the block will remain mo-
tionless until water insinuates itself
beneath through the pores of the wood.
If the wood is made water proof il
will remain below permanently. The
principle is that a body lighter than
water will not rise unless the water
can get under 1t to press it upward.
why Smoke Ascenas.
No substance tends to rise; all sub
stances tend downward toward the CEN
ter of the earth. Why does smoke
rise? Mecause ii is pushed up by tie
heavier, or cold, or. If we could rsan-
age to render smoke cold hsfore It
leaves the chimney it would lie fiat on
the ground.
