tura, on August IA, 1919, the republic of
Colombia was solemnly created.

tura, on August IA, 1919, the republic of
Colombia was solemnly created.
Two years later the battle at Carabcbo,
near Valencia, which proved to be the
Yorktown of the war of the patriots of
the north of South America, was fought.
Five days later Bolivar, the president Of
the republic of Colombia, entered in tri-
umph the city of Caracas, and the Span
ish yoke forever cast aside. But new
tyranny arose in the republic thus
formed-the tyranny of internal strife
and bloodshed. The union between
Venezuela and Colombia lasted only
until 1881, when the former withdrew,
and since that time the relations be-
tween the two countries has ranged from
that of a state of cordially to bitterest
hate and antagonism. But the history
of the two countries is inseparably
linked, and although Bolivar was born
at Caracas and hence Venezuelan, he
was the liberator and founder OF the
republic of Colombia.
But following close upon the separa-
ton OF Colombia from her union with
Venezuela came almost continuous
war between the federalists and liberals
for 80 years, and since 1868, when the
present constitution was adopted, revo-
lutions have occurred almost faster
than the historian could record. Back
and forth, up and doWE. over the coun-
try has bloody, petty war ragged, until the
last outbreak in 1901 and the very re-
cent bloOdless revolutions which gave
to the world a brand new republic.
Bolivar had large visions of the future
of the countries of South America. And
the important relation of the isthmus to
the welfare of Colombia and Venezuela
was realized even at that early day. He
declared of it: ''This magnificent posi-
ton between the two great oceans shall
be in turn the emporium of the world.
Its canals shall shorten the distances Of

ideas as to color may be worked out.
The design illustrated has the two up
per petals of lavender and the remain
ing two of white ribbon. A single strip
of lavender and one of white-each
trifie less than three inches long, are
used for four of the petals, the lower one
being single.
The pansy petals are rounded consid-
erably. Place them as in the illustra-
ton, fastening to the sachet, and put

of pink ribbon and has fine crushed pet

The larger rose sachet is used as
corset pad. A half yard of fiye-inch
liberty satin ribbon, preferably pink or

more stamens of brown and yellow en-

ENEMY OF GIRLHOOD.
II Ruins the Complexion and Dises'
ton OF Sweet Seventeen sud
DOctOrs Call 1t Anemia.

Health controls the complexion
throughout the whole course of exist
ence, but perhaps never more palpably
than about the age of IL.
Anemia is the greatest enemy Of q
beautiful complexion that girlhood can
encounter. 1t results in pallor, in
blemishes, such as spots and blackheads,
and in that general appearance of deli
cacy that should be a complete stranger
to youth. Unfortunately just about the
age now under consideration girls are
80 busy over their books and so eager
to excel in their school examinations
that instead of aiding and abetting their
elders to improve their anemic state,
and so to alter their muddy and unat-l
,, tractive compilations, they do all they
can TO further the inroads of weakness
by working indoors too much and stay
ing up too late at nights.
The anemic girl, whether she must
work at her books or not, must be
dosed with iron for months and months.
1t is the paucity of iron in her system
that makes her lack of color in her
cheeks. There are several well-known
preparations of iron that will suit the
sufferer, but it is always we'll, if possible,
to consult a doctor as to the most eff
cacious one to be had in pills and in So
luton. Iron can be taken in pills
for the sake of the teeth, and in solu-
ton for the sake of the digestion. But
while one girl can take three pills day,
and in course of time even eight, nine
or ten, another cannot take more than
two in "a hours. That is why Doctors
advice is so necessary.
| The more open air the anemic girl
gets the more quickly she will overcome
her weakness. She must live on fresh
air just as much as on milk and fresh
meat, and every other kind of nourish-
ing food. Not only must she take ex-
ercise in the open air, but her sleep
ing hours must be supplied with it..
and her sitting-rooms always have an
open window in them. Rich food is not
good for the anemic patient: indeed, the
simpler the existence the better.-Cin-
cinnati Commercial Tribune.

Peculiar interest attaches to the luxu-

the reason that Empress Josephine

Chicago, Jan. 6.-By their own evil
dence, given to-day before Monroe
Fulkerson, who is conducting the fire
department investigation into the Iro-
quois Theater horror, the proprietors of
the theater showed that a worse con-
dition of affairs existed than had here

Will ]. Davis, Harry ]. Powers and

the Iroquois Theater, were examined
by Mr.. Fulkerson to-day. All of them
pleaded ignorance of any precautions
taken to prevent loss of life by fire at
their theater. They admitted failure to
instruct employees in fighting fire, and
failure even to provide suitable APP
planes for use against flames.
Their statements were corroborated
by the testimony of twenty employees
of the theater. None of them had ever
been told his duty in case of fire.
Noonan, who is the working manager
of the theater under the managene
of Davis & Powers, admitted to-day
that eleven of the theater exits were
locked and bolted. Two of these exits,
leading to the front of the theater on

Although a native of Fort Valley,
Ga. Capt. Fretwell was in business in
Savannah for many years, and had a
wide circle of friends. To them his
death did not come in the nature of n

health for long while.
Capt. Fretwell was Sc years
of age. He came to Savan-
nah in 1866 from Kentucky, where
he had been engaged in the
livery business directly after the Civil
War. When only IA years of age he
left Georgia with the Fifty-fourth
Georgia Volunteers as drummer boy
and remained with that command until
it was cut off in Kentucky. He was
in the livery business only about a
year, when he disposed of his inter-
ests and came to Savannah.
He was with r. A. Wallace as
bookkeeper for three years, after
which he entered the stationary and
printing business with Mr.. w. n.

WITH EVERY APOLOGY.
No Intention of Shutting Up Repub-
Iican Meeting Place.

Chicago, Jan. 6.-Although the
coliseum in which the National Re
publican convention is to be held in
June was closed by order of the
building commissioner to-day, it is
claimed that the order will be rescind-
ed within forty-eight hours and that
no change in convention plans will be
necessary.
The violation charged against the
coliseum is purely technical, and 1t
was no sooner made than the mat
ter was Investigated by Graeme Stew
art, national committeeman from IL
linois, and Senator Hanna, who was
in town. Their investigation over,
both gentlemen expressed the opinion
that there was no safer building in
the world.
1t is alleged by the building COM
mission that the coliseum violates the
ordinance which requires that such
buildings shall face on at least one
street, and two public alleys or open
spaces.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-01-07

cording to Inspector Fulkerson, the
loss of life must have been greatly
diminished.
Noonan declared that no person had
been named by the theater manage
ment to superintend the operation of
the ventilators of the theater in case
of fire, and that in consequence the
flames had been permitted to sweep
the place, instead of seeking natural
outlet through the stage roof.
1t was said by Noonan that George
NJ. Dusenberry, the head usher, Archi-
bald Bernard, chief electrician, and
the theater engineer knew how TO
operate the ventiTators. 1t was proved
by the evidences of these men, how
ever, that two of them never went
upon the stage, and that the other
had never been told to assume charge
of the ventilators in case of fire.
One in Three Died.
From figures obtained by Noonan to-
day it became evident that almost one
in three of the people who attend
ed the matinee lost their lives, the
percentage being a trif1e over 81 per
cent. The theater seated 1905 people
and in addition to these, 236 had been
admitted after all seats were sold,
making total of 1,S42 people in the
theater, of whom 591 were killed.
That the employees in front of the
house were thrown into a panic by
the fire was shown by the testimony
of all the stage hands examined to-
day. Two ushers, each 16 years old,
declared they ran on the first alarm
of fire and did not return to the thea
ter until the next day. The stage
hands said they all sought safety on
hearing that the place was on fire.
The formal inquest into the fire will
begin tomorrow morning. The first
witnesses called will probably be spec
tators who were in the theater when
the fire was discovered and after
them, the stage hands will testify.

Reforms Enacted.

Reforms Enacted.
Constantinople. Jan. 6.-The Bull
garian government has sent note to
the Porte, complaining of the non
fulflment of it's promises concerning
reforms in Macedonia. Bulgaria ur-
gently requests the Porte to Immediate
ly take the necessary measures to end
a condition of affairs which is so pre-
judicial to the interests of both coun-
tries and points out that the applica-
ton of the proposed reforms should
be easy, owing to the fact that the
revolutionists are not hampering the
government at present by any inter
ference.
1t is learned here that Col. Bendereff,
the Russian agent, has suddenly left
Sofia. 1t is understood that his mis-
sion at Sofia was to endeavor to pre-
vent the Bulgarian government from
raising the Macedonian question at this
time. owing to the acuteness of the Far
Eastern crisis, which is now engaging
Russia'S entire attention.

A short time ago, by request Uncle

cut from the grave of General Andrew

him ever since. Mr.. Brock is digni-

Surely a few words from this re-

115 years of experience to draw from,
would be interesting as well as proht-
able. A lengthy biographical sketch
