1 know the troubles and sorrows that a
drunkard's wife has TO contend with, for my
dear mother has borne much.
Girls, some tell YOU about reformation, but
never trust your life with a man that you
have got to reform. If his mother could not

is not TO be- found. So girls, require the
same of them they do of YOU. You have
right to. 1 have no patience with
drunkard. and / cannot understand why a

1 want to ask the Household question: II
you pull a drunkard out of the mud three
times four times: yea. five times, and he
still deliberately drinks the stuff, knowing
the results should YOU still waste your time
and patience any longer?
I say not. Thev claim that il President Lin

science. and do not see where l can be OPP

Not as a slave to man: not as an idol for

Because our Saviour, Who suffered and died

but not only because of that, but If He loved
us enough to sacrifice His life for u.s. should
we not love Him and do His will through

He made the birds to sing the flowers to

None Of us can say we would do good IL we

which produced a painful impression
throughout the south, the north is said
to have taken a long BREATH, and 10
have realized the truth of the case. They
knew that the record of the Wirz trial
had been mutilated, they knew that much
of the testimony was unreliable, they
realized why so many prisoners had suf-
fered and died and although Wirz was
dead, Jefferson Davis and the southern
people stood fully indicated, and once
more it could be said of the south, as
the poet had written Of her:
"'No nation rose so white, so fair;
None fell so pure of crime
Hence. the occasion and this monu-
ment We owe il to the man who repre-
sented us, and who refused to betray the
chief magistrate Of the south; we owe
II to his family, who were left after his
tragic death to our care; we owe to his
good name, about which he was so solicit
Gus after his infamous conviction; we
owe il to ourselves and to the truth OF
history to vindicate him in every pos

a grateful people.
AFTER the storming Of the Tuilleries In
Paris, the people of Switzerland erected
a memorial to the Swiss Guard, and the
whole world recalls the rock of the Lion
of Lucerne,' with the fatal arrow IN
his heart, reclining by the broken lilies
of France. The defenders of the French
Ring had been put to death by the revo-
lutionists of Paris.
ION this occasion of poetic justice I
can see more than poetic resemblance,
when Captain Henry Wirz, a native OF
Zurich, and the Swiss Guard of the South,
a man who had fought with the Louisiana
Tigers, who had been wounded in the bat
ties around Richmond. who took the place
of commandant at Andersonville because
he was unfit for service in the field, is
honored by the Daughters OF the Con
federacy with this fitting memorial"
The invocation at the opening of the
exercises was delivered by Rev. Father
Mcmahon, of Albany, Ga The singing OF
Maryland, My Maryland" by the large
chorus, the firing of a military salute by
the military company of Americas; Ga,
and the sounding of taps brought the ex-
ercises to a close.
Captain Wirz was a native of Switzer-
land, the date of his birth being 1922. AZ
ter the close of the civil war he was
tried by a military commission at Wash
ington, d. c., on charges of murder and
fragrant cruelty to prisoners in his care,
contrary to the customs and laws of a
civilized warfare, was convicted, con-
demned to death and executed at Wash

protection and says the government will
settle all just claims.
Owing to the serious economic condi-

SURVIVORS TELL HOW
TWENTY MEN DR0WH

PITSBURG, Pa, May l2-Survivoes 80
last nights accident in which twenty men
were drowned. tell thrilling stories of
their experiences. When the gasoline
launch in which the men were crossing
the river to their homes after completing
their days work heightened by overtime
left the shore 1t had thirty men crowed
into a space that was not meant to hold
more than twenty.
Harry Gotheridge. one OF the survivors
whose brother was lost, said when he
was brought ashore:
I'VE had got about one-third Of the dis
lance across the river when I suddenly
felt as if 1 was sinking. In another min
ute, felt the cold water about by legs.
Albert Graham, who was running the
boat shut down the power but it was
too late. 1 looked at Graham and noticed
he was very pale, but he didn't say a
word. BY brother and l. who were both
good swimmers, started to get loose from
the boat and yelled to him to dive. He
went overheard and we came I'D together.
He made a grab for me and was sud-
denly dragged under water by a fellow
who grasped me by the waist and went
down the second time.
81 was pulled under the water and had
just time enough to take a breath as we
went down. Under the surface the man
let me go and / came to the top and be-
gan to swim for shore, when skiff came
up and was pulled on board"
Had II not been for John Deer, the
brave ferryman, through whose efforts
eight men were saved, there would have
been but two survivors out Of the thirty
persons who started across the river in
the launch. Deer lived in a house boat
moored along the shore and helped run
the ferryboats. He was in the boat when
he heard cries for help. Hurriedly Jump
ing to a skiff, he rowed into the middle
of the stream, and with such help as
those rescued could give him, pulled eight
men out Of the water. Those were all
survivors except two who swan ashore
alone.
All the men in the boat except Graz
ham, the ferryman were employees OF the
Pressed Steel Car company, on their wsgy
to their homes in Woods Run after their
day of labor. Search will be continued
during the day for the bodies OF the
drowned men.

CHEAP AEROPLANE
WILL COST $4,000;
AND UP TO $4,000

NEW YORK, May 12.-The minimum
price of a Wright aeroplane has been es-
tablished at $500. But if high speed
machine. suitable for war purposes and
carrying two passengers besides the avla-
tor is desired, the price may run TO Szo,-
900. This schedule of prices was announc-
ed last night by Orville Wright, who with
his brother, Wilbur, started for Dayton,
o., today after being rendered recep-
ton by the Aero Club of America.
''Of the sixty-odd aeroplanes which we
now have under construction at our Day
ton plant" said Orville Wright, the
cheapest will be $500. We have received
orders for a number of these from indi-
viduals and they will be delivered as
rapidly as possible. We are not at lib
erty at present to announce the names
of the purchasers, but among them are
several well-known Americans and Eu-
ropeans The principal trouble will be in
teaching the purchasers the operation OF
the machines We recognize the fact
that we must enlist number OF aero
plane teachers.
Our friends in America should disre-
gard the stories which have preceded US
concerning the vast amounts of money we
are said to have received. The only
money we have received came from the
government of France, amounting to
800 600. OF course, we have contracts
with Germany, Italy and England, but
| they are entirely tentative and should not
be considered as a direct income to us
| until we have completed the stipulationS
| called for in such contracts"
! The machine which is to be delivered to
the United States government is said to
be almost completed at Dayton and after
being tested, will be taken to WASH
ington by the Wright Brothers for the
official tests. These tests must be made
by June IS and then after several weeks
of experimental work, the Wrights pro-
pose to go to Germany to fulfill their
contracts there. Following that. they will
go to England.
