Julia Ward Howe.

Roy. ]. =. Currin of the First Bap-
tist church gave an eloquent and In
teresting sermon, Sunday evening,
when he talked of the Life of Julia
Ward Howe, Americas grand old wo'
man" Rev. Mr.. Currin took for his
text, the sixth verse of the first chap
ter of Exodus, Joseph died and all
his brethren and all that generation
The speaker said in part:
"The significance of this text is that
only the death OF the greatest person
of this generation is particularly men
toned. SO It is always. Death Is
constantly with us, but 1t Is only when
n power in the world, great and i'm
pressive life passes away, that tha
world Is stirred by the event,
"When we study the growth OF
great lives, the latent possibilities that
lie dormant at BIRTH the formation OF
purpose, the steady Improvement OF
opportunitics and, finally. the culmina-
ton of a great life in death, we learn
the secret of Julia Ward Howe's pow
er. The influence of her life is not
dead; il Is still living and stretches
out to all parts of the world.
I'VE have the same opportunities
possessed by Julia Ward Howe. 1t Is
not because of bad motives that we
make failures, but because OF small
purposes. We all have not only latent
possibilities. but also powers. IL we
only arouse them. Julia Ward Howe
had vision of war--where others
saw nothing but band OF soldiers,
she saw a fundamental truth. The
outcome of this was her Battle Hymn
of the Republic
1--WE must do the very best we can
with what we have. David did his best
with only sling and a few stones
Moses did his best with only a rod
julia Ward Howe's example to us is
the same. We must improve our
latent possibilities"

NAVAL BILL
IS REPORTED
MEASURE CARRIES APPROPRIA-
TION OF $l25,42l,53S..TWO ,
BATTLE Ships
Other SHIPS PROVIDED

Washington, Jan. 30.-Carrying
total Of $125, ,538, the naval appro-
priation bill was reported to the
House Saturday by Chairman Foss,
Of the Naval Affairs Committee. The
bill is $5,929,316 less than the current
appropriation and $2,044,621 less than
Department.
The increase of the navy program
calls for an appropriation of $34,27O,-
SIG, of which $15,832,92S for the first
year is inserted in the present bill.
This increase as adopted in the bill
comprises two battleships of $1,000
tons each at $11,835,4O8 each; two
colliers at $1,OOO,OOO each; eight tor
pedo boat destroyers at $S25,00O and
four submarines at 100000 each.
The cost as given is estimated on the
basis of building by private contract
without restriction. The Department
had recommended program that
would have cost $27,352 2,316, including
two battleships and the general board
had recommended a $87,OOO,OOO pro-
gram, including four battleships.
The bill increases the limit Of cost
of the battleship Florida, now be-
ing built at the New York navy yard
for hull and machinery exclusive of
armor and armament from $4,000, 900
to $6.4OO,OOO.
Because of the extra expense the
bill repeals the provision in last years
naval act which authorized one battle
ship to be built in a navy yard. The
contract for the Florida's sister ship
was let we'll within the limit of cost,
while the estimates for building the
Florida, for all purposes the same
ship, in the navy yard exceeded the
limit of cost for hull and machinery
by $1,500,0O0 or total of $7,5OO,O00.
Both these ships are directed to be
built uunder the eight-hour law re-
strictions. The committee recon-
mends repeal of this requirement and
! also of the provision that not more
than one of the battleships provided
for in the last years naval act shall
be built by the same, contracting
party.

Wood From Elm Planted by John
Quincy Adams in White House
Grounds.

Washington, Jan. 3O.-John Quincy
States, is credited with planting an
American elm in the White House
grounds during his Presidency. A
piece of one of the branches of this
elm has been furnished to the execu-
tive committee of the Southern Com
mercial Congress by Col. Spencer
Crosby, U. S. A, in charge of public
buildings and grounds. From this
fragment of an historic tree will be
made the handle of the gavel to be
used by the chairman of the South
ern Commercial Congress at it's meet
ing in Atlanta, March 8th, 9th, and
10th. The head of the gavel will be
made up of sixteen pieces of wood
each piece representing the forest
wealth of one of the sixteen Southern
States, united in the work of the
Southern Commercial Congress
These contributions of wood have
come in every case from the Commits
sioner of Agriculture of each
and are duly attested. North c.
lima made the first contribution send
ing long leaf pine as her representa-
tive wood. Georgia, Texas and South
Carolina have also contributed long
leaf pine. Kentucky and West Vir
ginia have sent oak; Maryland, chest
nut; Alabama, persimmon; Missis-
sippi, magnolia, etc. The contribu
ton of wood from the White House
is significant, for it will unite the
Southern States, the Nations Capita
and the memory of the eree
England President in a gavel whose
raps are expected to lead to a new
union of the South along business
line for the purpose of building g
greater nation through greater
South.

to the address of welcome from Gov
ernor Brown, of Georgia.

KING george
Brings SUIT
EDITOR Who PUBLISHED STORY
OF MORGANISTIC MARRIAGE
MUST FACE TRIAL
PLEA OF JUSTIFICATION"

London, Jan. 3O.-The news of the
world says that King George advisers
have instituted criminal libel proceed
ings with the object of ending once
and for all rumors which have been
freely circulated for years that his
majesty, whence Prince of Wales, was
morgaratically married to a daughter
of an Admiral of Malta.
The defendant in the case is Ed
ward F. Mylius, who is said to be con-
nected with the paper, The Liberator,
published in Paris, which printed the
statements on which the libel charge
is based. Mylius was arrested some
weeks ago, charged at Bow street,
committed for trial and sent to Jail.
Subsequently, On his own application
to the vacation judge bail was fixed
in the sum of 100000.
Justification To Be Plea
In the ordinary course the case
would be tried in the Central Criminal
Court but on application of the Grown
it will be brought up in the high
courts on Wednesday before Lord
Chief Justice Alveratone and a spe
cial jury.
According to a statement in The
Liberator, the defendant intends to
file a plea of justification and also to
subpoena the King as a witness. The
constitutional law, however, makes it
impossible for his majesty to give evi-
dence in his own courts, notwithstand-
ing he may be anxious to do so.
Practically all of the London morn
ing papers publish stories on the in
tention of the Kings advisers to car
ry the case to the courts On the
charge of criminal libel. L is note
worthy that the Morning Post, refer
ring to the arrest of Mylius on De
cember 26th, in a recent article, said
that he was charged with being con-
cerned in the publication of seditious
statements, but the paper made no
reference to the alleged morganatic
marriage, merely saying that the al
legged seditious statements referred
among ether things, to the policy fol
lowed by this country in Egypt and
India.
Statute zoo Years Old
The Post also publishes long ar
tic1e on the constitutional law in such
an unusual case, saying that the
police arrested My1ius during a legal
vacation and had abstained from
charging him in a police court, &C
cording to the usual procedure. Ap
plication was made to the vacation
Judge in chambers, who issued a writ
of habeas corpus and then committed
him to custody, fixing bail at 100000
find. The result of this action of the
police was that Mylius was legally
committed without publicity, and unit
recently the London papers have made
but brief reference to the case.
1t is understood that the proceed
| ings in the Kings libel suit are taker
under statute 200 years old.
