From the Savannah Press.

chasing and killing the Russians, TAX
ing their guns from them, selling their
Qualifications and otherwise imagining
they are accomplishing great things,
not realizing until too late that this
was all part of a we'll laid plan, and
that they have been playing into the
enemv's hands in every move they
have made.
There is no doubt about it now. The
supposed state of unpreparedness at
Port Arthur and Chemulpo was all
part of the skillful Russian game. 1t
was intended that the Japs should de-
strOy a few ships to embnlden them
and lead them to imagine that they
could accomplish the defeat OF the
giant of the world. Port Arthur will
probably be surrendered to them as a
feature of one of the most artistic
plans of war ever designed by human
brains. But all the time the cords will
be drawing tighter and tighter about
the poor Japs. If necessary all
Manchuria, and even Siberia, may be
surrendered to them to accomplish the
carefully designed purposes of the
Napoeonic leaders of the Russians.
The final crushing blow may even take
place on Russian soil in Europe, but
when all is in readiness and the Rus
slams have the JaDs where they want
them, where they have planned all
this time to get them, then the world
will know what MuscOvite cunning
and MuscOvite courage have been pre-
pairing to do during all the long weary
months, when the Japs seemed to be
having things their own way. And
the little yankees of the east may not
awaken until it is TOO late.

FEMALE VOICES MUST CEASE
Women Cannot Sing in Catholic
Church ChOirS.

Bishop Kelley of the Catholic
diocese of Savannah has mailed to each
of the churches in his jurisdiction a
letter directing that under the recent
orders of the pope the use of female
voices in Catholic church choirs
should cease.
The change must be effective by
January /, 1905. Bishop Kelley says
that Catholics cannot blind themselves
to the fact that the pope's words were
intended for them, nor to the fact that
there is need for great change in
church music. Everything profane in
matters of form in church music, he
says, should be excluded.
AS women cannot take place in the
ecclesiastical choir, he holds that they
should not in the church choir. The
organ and the organ alone may be
used

of an Engagement to Marry.

The dispatches told the other day OF
the plea of a Pennsylvania preacher
who had been sued for breach OF prom
ise of marriage that the engagement
in question had been made on a Sun
dav and was therefore illegal, since a
contract made on Sunday was null and
void in the eyes of the law. The judge

The Central of Georgia Railway

HEAVY DEPOSITOR.
Because of the fact that the Central
railway was known to be heavy de-
positor in the First National there
seems to have developed considerable
concern among the holders of Central
securities in the east, and this was re-
Elected in a noticeable decline in the
value of these securities. All classes
of bonds-frsts, seconds and thirds
depreciated in value, but there has
been a change and they are hrmer.

The profit of gold mine depends
not on the amount of rock crushed
under the stamps but upon the amount
of gold which can be extracted from
the rock. In a similar way the value
of the food which is eaten does not de-
pend on the quantity which is taken
into the stomach, but upon the amount
of nourishment extracted from it by
the organs of nutrition and digestion.
When these organs are diseased they
fail to extract the nourishment in sntfi-
cieut quantities to supply the needs OF
the several organs of the body, and
these organs cannot work without
nourishment. The result is heart

another ailment. DR.. Pierce's Golden

In The Moon.

1t is estimated from recent photo
graphs of the craters and craterlets
of the moon that they are over 100000
in number. Prof. Pickering thinks
that the white ir some patches craters
and the numerous bright radiating
lines are due to snow, and the less con
spicuous lunar canals which gradually
appear, increase and fade away in the
lunar day, are attributable by the
same authority to vegetation.

SoCiablIity and the Church.

eighteen years without a soul ever

Who invented Trousers 2

Trousers originated in the high
lands Of Central Asia, the first OF
which there is any record having
been worn by the Ayran people,
who under Cyrus, descended
from the mountains into the plains
Of Mesopotamia. The Romans
later observed that trousers were
worn by their Germanic tribes,
as well as by the Persians and
others. The Romans themselves
finally adopted trousers when
Campaigning or travelling north Of
he Alps. but were careful to doff
them as soon as they re-entered
