state. Courtiers in silksn flowing
gowns paused in their goings to and
fro and clerks and scribes, low bent
at their writing, looked up expectant-

less as ever, but his eyes glittsred
perhaps more than usual. and his
voice was over-sweet.

court came up here yesterday, when James
Caliunis. a Greek, aged sixty-fve years.
was before the town court charged with
cutting Greek crosses in the trees on the
highway and thus wilfuly destroying them
Caliunis, who has been in the country but
four months. explained. through an inter-
prefer, that he found much trouble and
wickedness in this country that he thought
by cutting the crosses in the trees where
every one could them he would bring
about peace and righteousness. The crosses
have been mysteriously appearing on the
fine trees along the roads all about here.
1t was thought at first that the parties
who were cutting the crosses Travelled in an
automobile as several had seen an automo-
bile In the vicinity of the trees which
the crosses had later appeared. 1t is be-
lieved now that the automobiles were mere
ly attracted to the trees by curiosity
The crosses varied from a foot In length
to twenty inches Caliunis says he cut them
after dusk with a Ratchet. There are one
or more of them in front of nearly every
church in the vicinity, while many have
been cut in the cemeteries The tree war
den says 1t will take twenty years for them
to become effaced. Caliunis was held
under 81 GOO bail for trial.

and watched Burke lower the boys body to

REVENGE RAIsULI'S MOTIVE.
Real Reason for His Capture of Gen
MacLean.

TANGIER, July lin letter to thu
English embassy. Gen. MacLean, the Euro
pean military adviser of the sultan, say!
that revenge was partly the reason for hi:
seizure by Raisuli, the noted bandit, wht
Is now holding the European as a hostage
for ransom and pledges Of immunity from
the sultan
MacLean was largely responsible fol
driving Raisuli out of the Znat district
destroying the bandits home there and
bribing his followers to desert him 1t was
to be revenged for these wrongs thai
Raisuli decided to hold MacLean when the
latter visited him as an agent OF tne sultan
to arrange for Raisulfs surrender and
pardon. 800 us .,
MacIean, after his capture, sent word to
the neiehboring tribesmen to be loyal and
uphold the sultan. One of the messengers
fell into Raisulrs hands and MacLean could
only prevent his murder by promising to
ston any measures taken against Raisuli
The messenger who brought today's let
ter thinks the tribesmen eventually will de-
eide not to assist Raisuli.

Favor Two-Cent Railroad Fare.

In commenting upon Judge Pritchards
decision regarding the two-cent rate order
of the Virginia state corporation commits
sion State Senator Lewis H Machen said
today:
The press reports of the decision yester-
day indicated that the state corporation
commission was without constitutional au-
thority to formulate the order fixing the
rate. 1t appears from the extracts OF the
decision printed in this mornings papers
that the decision of this question has been
postponed, and only the question of juris-
diction has been decided. If 1t should finally
be determined that the state corporation
commission has no constitutional authority
to prescribe a rate the next general assem-
bly, of Virginia should enact fiat two
cent rate conforming nearly as possible
to the order of the commission.
The commission, after palnstaklng IN
vestigation, has determined that such a
statute would be reasonable and, In fact,
| such rates are now in force in a number of
states not more densely populated than Nlr-
ginia. The Burlington road, which tray
| erses eleven western states, announced yes
| terday that it would put in operation two
cent-fare schedule between all points on
| that system. Eventually the roads will find
the new rate a source of profit to them be-
cause of increased travel The general pub
lc TOO Will be vastly benefited.

May Lease Wire.

Columbus, Ga, October 19-(Special)- The effect of Alabama legislation on 8 sister state was illustrated this after noon when a meeting of the directors of the Columbus Board of Trade was held to consider a proposition to furnish daily market reports. Georgia cut out cot ton, grain and stock exchanges a year ago, and Alabama's similar legislation be- comes operative January 1, next. For the past year Columbus cotton men and brokers have received their reports from an exchange located in Girard. Ala, just across the Chattahoochee river. but the new Alabama law deprives them of this source of information, also. It is regarded as probable that the Board of Trade will contract to take a leased wire service, furnishing market reports to members. It is claimed that the board can make a clear profit of from 5000 to 5000 per year by simply being the medium through which this information Is imparted.

 That the negroes are entering upon a new era no one need dispute Heeding the wise words of their leader, E. T.

 Too much cannot be said in praise
 of c. First Johnson, who has both
 nursed his business and grown with It..
 Under all circumstances he is opti-
 mstic He Is teaching his people that
 thrift and economy mu st be practiced
 by them all the time. He often says
 to them that grumbling not only counts
 for nothing but units the grumbler
 for real work. In his October letter to his employees he wrote: "The world
 Is tired of grumbling, complaining, luke-warm agents. It gives its favors to tho, dead in earnest, zealous agent. Hard hammering, continuous hammer ing, ceaseless pounding and the nerve to return to the charge after repeated failures will turn your effert into vic tory. Enthusiastic courage, That's what every one in our employ needs Yet again the fact that this negro enterprise has done we'll iS doing well, and hopes to do even 6tter argues volumes for the south and the southern people General Manager Johnson tells 1t himself how he has received every encouragement not from his own peo- pie, but from white people all over the south.
 Now that the permanency of the as- sociation is assured and their reputa-
 tion for giving all alike the square deal" Is establish ed, their constant ac- uuiring and placing in control men or real worth and training, it Is to be | hoped that those of their race who are yet unprotected will apply to the Union | Mutual Aid association of Mobile, Ala, with offices 3171a N.

Ouite fifteen years ago c. First John son of Mobile Ala, conceived the idea that his people needed such protection against sickness and accident as Is given by insurance, and that, too, to be within the reach of moderate wage earners. After conferring with mem bers of his race he organized the Union Mutual Aid Association of Mobile, Ala.
 At first Johnson did most of the work, both in and out of the office. After a real struggle he began to sue ceed. Today he is general manager Of the business and gives employment to more than five hundred competent men and, women of his race. He operates his insurance in many of the southern states and contemplates opening up others as well as the west.
 Here in Alabama Johnson, once a poor country boy, is giving employ ment to members of his race who hold diplomas from colleges in the far east as well as the west, though he him self received his training in the state.
 The work of the Union Mutual Aid association in Birmingham has been conducted so well that it has won the approyal of the best white people as well as thousands of colored people who carry their policy. The associa- tion is indorsed by leading physicians. both white and colored.
 It Is not an uncommon thing for colored servants to inquire of those for whom they work concerning the rel alive standing of the aid associations of the city. Be it said to the credit of the management of this association that in most cases they get the prefer ence.
 There are fourteen others associated ~ with Manager Phillips and 1t Is due to their fair dealing and straight-for- ward business methods that the asso- citation has become so popular and reliable After more than five years spent in the work here Manager Phil lips gets a promotion. The men who work with him say that he deserves 1t. This too seems to be the opinion of General Manager Johnson. In future his headquarters will be Mont gomery, Ala, where he will be known as general supervisor. It Is said that Phillips will be one of the best paid colored men in the south.
