PALATIAL TRAINS RUN SOUTH
Millions in Equipment for Tourist
Service. SeabOard Has One
of the HandsOmeSt.

No more palatial trains were ever
operated through the south than the
fast trains to Florida which were
put into service from New York
Monday and passed through Savan-
nah yesterday on the first trip of the
season, says the Savannah News.
The Seaboard train reached Sa-
vannah three minutes ahead of time,
which is not according to railroad
ethics, for there is no provision per-
hitting trains to reach a station
ahead of the schedule. But this the
SeabOard train did and the Coast
Line special was in the Union Station
on the dot. The record has probably
never been beaten for good service
and good time.
The Seaboard carried six Pullman
cars composed of a combination bag
gage and club car, diner, double
drawing room compartment sleeper,
two drawing room cars with twelve
sections each and an observation
compartment car. The train carried
81 through passengers.
The Coast Line train reached Sa-
vannah with 81 passengers. Five
left the train at Savannah and five
got on, leaving the total of 81 I'M
changed for through passage. There
were eight cars, richly finished and
furnished throughout.
Five trains for each line are re-
CURED for this service, representing
nearly $1,OOO,OO0 worth of train
equipment for each. The luxury of
winter travel is, therefore, not with
out it's cost. The passenger men re-
port the business equally as good, if
not some better, than is usual with
the first trains. They expect a good
season.

TO BUILD THE RAILROAD
Great Construction Force Assembled
at Richland to Begin ON Exten-
sion of G. f. & A. Railroad,

The Times-Recorder says Hall &
Parker, railway builders, with a great
construction force, consisting of la
borers, mules, wagons, scrapes and
camp equipment, have passed through
Americas en- route to Richland,
where work is to be started on a new
railway.
This is the extension of the Geor-
gia, Florida & Alabama from Cuth-
bert to Richland, about thirty miles,
where it touches the Seaboard Air
Line
1t is believed that this extension
of the G. F. & A. will soon be pushed
northward to Buena Vista, where it
will connect with the branch line
being built from that town twenty
miles to a point on the Atlantic,
Birmingham & Atlanta Railway.
In time this will be trunk line to
tidewater, seeking an outlet on the
Mexican gulf.

$4,000 FOR DETECTIVES
SPENT BY THE GOVERNMENT
ON BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR.
FORAKER UNEARTHED IT.

WASHINGTON, D. Cit has cost
the government $4,000 already in
the employment of private detective
agencies to investigate the Browns
vile affray and the contracts with
these agencies are still in force.
This information was received by
the senate from Secretary of War
Wright in response to the Foraker
resolution inquiring when and by
what authority of law Robert ].
Browne and W. G. Baldwin of Roa-
noke, Va, were employed 1t was
the report of Browne and Baldwin
on which President Roosevelt based
a recent message to congress declar-
ing that the guilt of certain of the
discharged negro soldiers had been
fixed beyond a shadow of a doubt,
and this report was attacked by SEN
ator Foraker in a speech on the floor
of the senate.
Attached to the report was a conf
Dental letter from President-elect
Taft, then secretary of war, under
date of April 16, 1908, urging the
president to make the original con-
tract with Browne and Baldwin. In
that letter Mr.. Taft said:
The Brownsville investigation be-
fore the senate, while it establishes
beyond any reasonable doubt the
correctness of the conclusion reached
by you on the report of the inspec-
tors of the army and other evidence,
has done nothing to identify the par
tlcular members of the battalion
who did the shooting or who were
accessories before or after the fact. "
The contract recommended by Mr..
Taft was for the payment of $4,000
, in four weekly installments.
Ordinary agencies at the disposal
of the executive says Secretary
Wright had not been completely sue
cessful, especially in determining
what particular individuals had been
engaged in the Brownsville ARRAY as
participants
Considerable difficulty was en-
countered in locating the former
members of the negro battalion, &C
cording to Secretary Wright's letter,
but before the expiration of the first
contract sufficient information had
been obtained, he says, to warrant
the department in continuing the in
vestigation by the same persons. On
Sept. 1, 1908, supplemental agree
ment was entered into calling for the
payment of $4,000 and on Dec. 9Th
third contract was made calling
for further payment of $4,000,
making $4,000 in all under the
three contracts. The full amount in
volved in the three contracts was
paid between April oath and Jan.
End last in ten installments varying
in amounts from $1,000 to $4,000.

The newspaper announcement that
Major Mearns of the army, who has
been retired on account of disability

on his African hunting trip. was the
basis of an interesting colloquy in
the lower house, says a Washington
dispatch. The question came up in

for the issuance of commissions, with

which was called up by Chairman
Hull of the committee on military

Corntassel, and other solons from the
Ducolic districts, are up in arms be-
cause OF the reduct on that has been
made IN the amount of free seeds to

USED by congressman for impressing
the desirability of their reelection

even a portion of the perquisite is
viewed with alarm.
owing to the high price of seeds,
resulting from a crop shortage, each
congressman will have only 10000
PACKAGES of vegetable seeds to dis
tribute among his constituents. In
recent years the quota of each mem

quota OF flower seeds, 500 packages,
remains the same.

g MESSINA THE SEPULCHER OF HUNDRED
AND THIRTY THOUSA ND HUMAN BEINGS

A London newspaper prints a dis
patch from F. Marion Crawford,
dated st. Angelo, in which he says:
How can new city rise from the
ashes of the old? Who will lay the
first stone? Who will venture to
light the first fire on his hearth?
Where a city of 10000 inhabitants
rose in wide amphitheater eight
days ago, overlooking one of the most
magnificent harbors in the world,
men will see a week hence a vast
whitened hollow in a hill Ieveled
ruins strewn with Quicklime-the
sepulcher of 10000 human beings,
of whom more than half died in un-
imaginable agony. At least there

Referring to the appearance of
Messina on January 1st Mr.. Crawford
says:
Death was everywhere. The
bodies of persons extracted from the
ruins and of those who had died from
the effects of their energies as soon
as they saw the light, lay so thick
in the streets that it was hard not
to tread on them. No battlefield
ever presented a more terrible sight,
while dogs of every breed, from
Sicillian mastiffs and sheep dogs to
Sinking ours of the hill villages,

corpses like hyenas, although hun

APPLES sUPPLANT WHEAT.
100000 More Fruit Trees Planted
i'll Northwestern States.

III SOUTHWESTERN States.
More than 100000 fruit trees
principally apple, have been planted
IN Washington, Oregon and Idaho
since the beginning of the year, and
1t is estimated that when these come
INTO bearing in 1912 the apple crop
OF the three states will amount to
oV,OOO,OOO bushels, equaling the
wheat yield of 1908.
One and a half million trees were
set out in eastern WASHINGTON and
oregon last year, and as many more
VIII be planted in 1909, if the nur-
series can supply the demand. Most
OF the trees are for commercial or
chards, some setting out 5 1000 trees.
Every nursery operating in the in
land empire has sold it's stock, and
1t is likely there will be much inn
porting from eastern and middle wes-
tern states and the Canadian prov
lnces. The success of apple growers
IN the northwest has been so great
that bonaza wheat ranches in various
parts of the country are being cut
up for orchard purposes.

WHAT coLoRs SHALL | usE9
This Question Is important In Painting
House or Other Building.

A proper color scheme is extremely
important in painting house 1t
makes all the difference between a
really attractive home and one at
which you wouldn't take a second
glance. And it makes big difference
in the price the property will bring on
the market.
AS to the exterior, good deal de-
pends upon the size and architecture
Of the house, and upon its surround
ings. For good interior effect you
must consider the size of the rooms,
the light, etc.
You can avoid disappointment by
studying the books of color schemes
for both exterior and interior painting,
which can be had free by writing Ma
tional Lead Company, 1902 Trinity
Building, New York, and asking for
Houseowner's Painting Outfit No. 40.
The outfit also includes specifications,
and a simple instrument for testing
the purity of paint materials. Pure

Hint for Decoration.

For luncheon or party where
there is an attempt at table color dec
Grafton it is a good idea to hang from
the chandelier a large, wet sponge.
Cover the sponge with violets, car
nations, roses, or any appropriate
flower. Or even ferns will do if the
green effect is desired. The round
ball of bloom is attractive, and is bet
ter than the large central bouquet
which hides the view. Indeed, in
most of the restaurants and hotels
where table decoration is a study, the
high centerpiece is entirely done away
with.
