A WORTHY
ENTERPRISE

One of the worthiest enterprises in
Maury County is the Free Industrial
School conducted every Saturday at
ternoon under the auspices of the
Kings Daughters. This has been in
operation over ten years and the good
it has accomplished is very great. AS
yet the only work taught is sewing in
all its branches, but the ladies hope to
extend the scope of the work so as to
include other things equally as impor-
tant in the life work of women. For
some years past the City authorities
have given the school the use of a
room at the Athenaeum, but the Maury
National Bank having rendered the
large room on its second floor free of
rent, this more central location is be.
ing fitted up, and will be ready in time
for the opening of the school next Sat
urday afternoon. The teachers are
selected from the Kings Daughters,
and like all other work of that noble
organization. is entirely gratuitous, all
being done In His Name" Mrs. Frank
H. Smith is manager of the Industrial
School for next year; with Mrs. Eu-
gene Anderson as Assistant Manager.
The teachers are Mesdames A j. Mich
OILS E. E. Erwin, w. c. Salmon and
Merrill; Misses Rebecca Carpenter,
Pearl Provine and Mary Lamb. Miss
Callie Craig is Librarian. Visitors are
welcome to the school, While the la
dies are doing this great good for the
girls, why cannot some similar move
ment be made for the boys of Column !
Dia in teaching them useful trades?

VENTION NOTES

cry citizen can afford TO make a real
sacrifice if necessary in order that he
may hear the opening address b. Hoa.
Michael Savage, of GAINESVILLE in the
Lecture room of the First Methodist
Church, on Friday at p. m. Those
who have heard him know that he has
but few equals as a brilliant and en-
PERTAINING speaker. and those who
have never heard him will surely re-
greet il if they miss this opportunity.
Following the address of Mr. Savage
Prof. W. R. Webb, of Bell Buckle, will
entertain the audience as only Prof.
Webb knows how. He needs no intro
duction to Columbia people, end those
who fail to come early may run up
against the standing room" only

and a substantial increase in the en-
dowment funds is also noted.
Increase in Salaries.
A resolution urging the Boards OF
Stewards to increase the salaries OF
preachers was presented by DR.. Til
lett and adopted. 1t was called to the
attention of the Stewards that while
the cost of living has increased during
recent years over so per cent, there
has been no corresponding increase in
the salaries. Bishop Galloway declar-
ed this resolution to be very time
ly one, declaring that in some church
es the salaries of the preachers had
been actually decreased.

New Foreign Secretary Gets Big Majority-L Liberals Are
 Marching On..

London, Jan 25.-Sir Edward Gray, the new foreign secretary, has been returned for Berwick-on-Tweed diyis- ion of Northumberland by the largest majority he ever had. This is typical of the general result of yesterday $ elections which practically were an unbrOken series of liberal successes. cut of twenty-one returns this morn ing the liberals take 17 seats, F of which were captured from the union ists. The others were divided, union ists B. laborites 1, making the totals: liberals 32S, uni0nists 142, Irish na- ti0nalists S1, labOrites 48.
 The new house of commons already contains thirteen Jews with several constituencies to be heard from. This is a larger number than previously re corded.
 There is an interesting contest to- day in the eAylesbury or Middle divis- ion of Buckinghamshire, where the Rev Silas Kitto Hooking, the novelist, is having stiff fight in the liberal in terest against Lionel Walter Roths- child. unionist and free trader, sup ported by the popularity and wealth of the Rothschilds, who have leld the seat without break since 1863.
 Another we'll known writer, R. c. Lehman, the oarsman, who is well known in, the United States. is contest ing the South or Market Marlborough division of Leicestershire for the lib- erals against c. Harvey Dixon, union- ist.

MacIsaacs, alleged by his wife to have been implicated in the Mabel Page murder It was expected that Detective Whitney, who was due in New York at o'clock. would nave time to look the prisoner over and talk with him. and, if he IS satisfied that there is any foundation to the story that he was connected with the Page case, he will ask that the man be re- manded for further investigation.
 Chief Shaw of the state police says:

 Il have no knowledge regarding the nature of the information alleged to have been given by Mrs MacIsaacs, but have telegraphed 10 New York for particulars.

Jan 25.-An incendiary fire in the immense barn owned by Ernest Clapp early to-day caused a big loss of live stock, cattle, horses and swine being burned to death long before those in the home of Mir Clapp were made aware of the fire.

 The only living thing ir the barn to escape death by the faIies was one lone calf which was found huddled near the rear door of the Clapp home stead after the fire burned itself out. How the heifer got out of the burning building Is not known.
 The engine crew of passing freight train saw the blaze and after stopping the train the engineer pulled the whistle cord. the shrill blasts finally rousing those in the house. which is near the tracks. Although the house was threatened it was saved after q stubborn fight with the aid of buckets of water.

 Mods to His Children.

New York. Jan 25.-Brigadier Gen. eral Joseph Wheeler, U. s. A. retired, soldier, statesman and author, is dying at the home of his sister ill this city. At S:30 this morning the physicians said that the end could not be long delayed The members oi the family who remain within easy call of the sick chamber refuse to abandon nope, but realize the gravity of the veter- ans condition.
 Six days ago. at the home of his sis ter. Mrs Sterling Smith, at No 173 Co., lumbia Heights, Brooklyn. where hu has recently lived, General Wheeler contracted a severe cold which devei- oped into pleurisy and pneumonia. From the first the warriors @ years told against him, and when yesterday the disease was found to have affect ed both lungs it was feared that a la al termination was inevitable.
 Late last night Dr A. ]. McCorkle, the attending physician, said that there was practically no hope of re- covery. At midnight q sinking spell caused the family to be summoned to the bedside. There were in addition to Mrs Smith, Major Joseph Whcerer- ir. [. s. A., now stationAd at West Point. and the four daughters of Gen eral Wheeler. Mrs W. T. Harris. and the Misses Anna, Lucille aId Carrie Wheeler. The daughters had come on from the south on Tuesday and yester- day.
 Conscious and with his mind appar- ently active. the general seemed to know that death was approaching and, too weak to speak, he tried with char acteristic fortitude to nod encourage ment to his children. Later the gen eral sank into peaceful slumber and at the earnest wish of the phy sicians, the members of the family who had been summoned to the bedside return. ed to their rooms.
 Early this morning there was no perceptible change. The patient re- mained apparently comfortable, but death appeared to De matter of hours only. Major Wheeler said that the condition of his father was such that the family was prepared for the worst.
 Dr A. !. McCorkle. General Wheel CTS physician called Dr John A. Long, more into consultation in General Wheeler's case last night aud the two physicians remained with lh, patient all night. When Dr Longmore ietr the sick mans chamber tl,is morning he said General Wheeier's life was then hanging by thread The gen eral was only half conscious at that time and it was believed tat death might come at any moment. oxygen was administered to the patient this morning for the first time.
 Dr McCorkle said shortly before To o'clock:
 General Wheeler has ole chance in twenty of recovery. His condition is very low and his strength is being kept up on stimulants. but neyerthe less he has a fighting cnance.'
