|. Status Of Volunteer Fleet.

1883 &c. =
Great Britain having formally
raised the question: of the. status Of
the st. Petersburg and the Smolensk,
the foreign office called a meeting Of
leading officials Of the admiralty to
consider the, subject. The decision
will be submitted to the emperor for
ratification.
While not admitting the Illegally
Of the Russian action in converting
vessels Of the volunteer fleet into
warships after they had reached the
Red Sea, 1t is probable, in view Of
the fact that neutral ships, did not
receive previous notice, that Russia,
in order to remove the shadow of a
cloud upon their right to fly the war
flag, will formally notify the powers
Of their conversion into warships, thus
putting all neutrals on their guard.
In the meantime all the ships seized
will be released unless the captains
refuse to show their manifests, in
which event the procedure in the case
Of the Malacca will probably be fol-
lowed:
Germany had not made any protest
against the seizure of the Scandal up

Seizures to Be Stopped.


q st. Petersburg, July 23, 3:45 pm
The .Asso ciated Press is able to an
nounce that Russia has informally
notified Great Britain that orders
have been issued to the Russian
cruisers in the Red sea not to arrest
any more British merchantmen and it
hasabeen agreed between the two
powers If pending the receipt of these
orders by the captains of the ST.
Petersburg and the Smolensk any
other, ships should be stopped and
held as prizes these acts shall be re-
garded as not having taken place and
the ships concerned at once released.
Attic it was authoritatively stated
yesterday that the ,Malacca had al
ready reached Suda bay it now ap-
pears that when the Malacca sailed
from Port Said she was bound for
Algiers.
Unless orders are delivered to her
on the way she will upon arrival there
find an order to proceed Immediately
to Suda Bay where, under the agree
iment reached between Great Britain
and Russia, an examination Of her
cargo will be made by the Russian
and the British conspls. w X tusf

For Summer Colds Coughs and All Catarrhal Ailments
The Great Test Of a Medicine Is

The Source Of Catarrh Must Be

Pe-ru-na Cures.

Catarrh is simply fabby condition, OF
the mucous membrane This fabbiness
has been brought about by exposure to
cold which finally depresses the nerves
supplying the mucous membrane.
Peruna operates Immediately to
strengthen these nerves and give tone to
the mucous membrane. There is no other
internal catarrh remedy that has proven
effective in all cases.
The most distinguished men of the
United States have no hesitation in lend
ing their influence to assist In letting the
people know of the virtues Of Peruna
Nearly one-half the people are in some
degree affected by catarrh. Therefore 1t
is almost national curse, and it is of
national import that the people should
know of Peruna.

Child Burned to Death.

Tuesday about 11.3o a. m. as Mr..
E. B. Respess and v. B. Hall, civil
engineers Of the Union and Glenn
Springs Railroad Company, were
going up Academy street, they saw
little colored child on fire standing
in the street near the office of the
Wallace lumber yard. They ran as
fast as they could and upon reaching
the burning child Mr.. Respass
wrapped his overcoat around the
child to extinguish the flames. When
he took the coat away, the clothing
OF the child was completely burned
of except small collar band 1t
seems that the parents Of the child
had gone away and left the child in
the house alone, and it is supposed
the child was standing near the fire
and its clothes caught fire and then
she ran out into the street scream
ing. When seen by the gentlemen
her clothing were all ablaze, and by
the time they reached her nearly all
of her clothing was burned off. Had
these gentlemen been closer to her
when she first ran out of the house
and thrown the coat around her as
did Mr.. Respess, doubtless the flames
would have been extinguished and
the life Of the child saved. Mr.. Res
pess said it was shocking, sicken-
Ing sight, when he removed his coat
from the child he saw at once that
she was too badly burned ever to re-
cover. The child is between four
and five years old and Is the daughter
Of Lovelace and Lillian Young.
1t was noble, generous and hu-
name impulse which actuated Mr..
Respess to take off his $25 overcoat
and put it around burning colored
child he being stranger in the city.
BY so doing he hoped to save the life
of the child at the sacrifice OF fine
overcoat and run the risk of getting
his hands badly burned. His hands
were not burned, but his overcoa
was.

THE RAPID FALL IN PRICE OF COT
TON,
Gen. M. Q. Butler Says "Hold Your
Holt"

The rapid and unexpected fall in
the price of cotton since the report
Of the government was handed in
has caused alarm among the farmers.
The following is given by Gen. But
ler in his letter to the Augusta
Chronicle Of Dec. 9th. 1904, and is
by him. taken from the compiled
statement Of the cotton exchange Of
New York for the week ending Dec.

Now IL this statement is correct and
the late report Of the department Of
agriculture showing this years. cror
to be 12,160,00O bales is correct.
there must be out of sight presume
bly, in the hands Of the farmers ,S93.-
861 bales. Gen Butler further saws:
"If there are $500, 900 bales in the
hands of the farmers it supports the
theory that they are in very sound
financial condition, a condition they
ought not to be frightened out of by
bear spectators. In other words O
borrow the homely phrase of the old
darky to his coon dog in fight with
q coon to "hold his holt until the
coon gives up" The farmers ought
to "hold their holt" until Ito borrow
another phrase from another distin-
guished sportsman) they can get ia
square deal" with the bears.

ance Of this years crop should bring
not less than 10 cents at the ports
and says that the only way to bring
this price is for the farmers to hold
the merchants not to force what they
have on the markets, and for the
banks to stand by the merchants and
planters and not force them to sell
He admits for the sake of argumen,
that the crop is $4,000. 600, yet he
does not believe the crop will be that
large, and argues that consumption
will be at least 1900, 600, leaving {

Joseph Robert Maurin. one of the
leading citizens OF this town, died at
his home in Lessa ard street at 5
O'Clock Thursday morning, aged 80
years and II days. Mr.. Maurin be-
came i'll early last spring and in

strength to permit him to make the
trip to Stafford Mineral Springs, at
Vossburg, Miss, where he spent the
aldsonville about Oct. l seemingly
much improved in health, but a few
days ago was taken i'll again and was
forced to seek his bed. His condition
was not considered at all dangerous,
however, and the news of his sudden
death came as a great shock to his
many friends in this community.
Thursday morning when his devoted
wife approached her husbands bed
side to give him the usual medicine
prescribed by the attending physician
she discovered that he had breathed
his last, death having come while he
was peacefully sleeping. The funeral
took place at noon yesterday and was

Joseph Robert Maurin was the
youngest son Of the late Major Victor
Maurin and was born in this town Oct.
81, 1872. His early education was &C.
quired at local private schools, after
which he became a student in the com
mereial course at jefferson College,
ST. James parish. After leaving JEFF
ferson, he became salesman in the
store of his brothers, Charles and
Louis Maurin, which position he re-
tanned until about ten years ago, when
he embarked in business for himself.
At first he opened a retail grocery,
and afterwards branched out into the
wholesale trade. Later he closed out
that business and again went into the
retail trade, establishing two success
full stores-the First and Last Chance,

Gerry, IN Mississippi street. In 1897 he
was married to Miss Emma Nolan,
daughter of the late Capt. J. 7. Nolan,

interest in politics and in 1900 was
elected a member of the police jury
from the fourth ward, serving out his
term with marked ability and success.
At the inception of the campaign which
preceded the Democratic primary last
j January, Mr.. Maurin allied himself
with the astremski- Bullion faction in
this parish and announced as a candi-
date for clerk of court, but later with
drew and retired from active partici
patton in the campaign. A token of
the esteem in which Mr.. Maurin was
held was shown by the closing of all
the Mississippi street stores during
the progress OF the funeral procession
yesterday.
Mrs. Maurin survives her husband,
together with two little chi1dren-Gar
net, aged years, and Nolan, 3 years
old. There are also left to mourn Mr..

very much gratifed at the renewal of
