OPPOSITION TO TRANSLATION Of the Gospels Info Modern Greek -Bloodshed at Athens. Athens, Nov. 21.-Agitation against the proposal to translate the gospels into modern Greek continued today. Twenty thousand persons assembled around the ruins of the temple of Jupiter Olympus and took part in a demonstration organized by the stu? dents. A resolution was passed calling on the holy synod to excommunicate any person who translated the gospels into Greek as now spoken. Eight hundred marines were landed and co? operated with the troops in patrolling the locality. Several collisions occur? red and occasional shots were urea. During the encounters between the . military and the demonstrators, seven persons were killed, 30 were severely and many others were slightly wound? ed. Several shots were fired at M. Theotokis, the Greek premier, bat without effect. Great excitement prevails tonight. Strong military detachments guard the palace and the residence of the premier. Everywhere anxious groups are discussing the situation. Heartrending scenes occurred when the bodies of the dead were handed over to their relatives. It is rumored that armed men have arrived at the "university but the building is still guarded by the students, who? are adopting military discipilne. Opposition deputies paraded the streets during the day, exciting the rioters by violent language. There were no further disturbances during the evening, but it is feared that there will be a renewal of disor? der tomorrow. Among those slightly injured are the prefect of police of Athens and jfche prefect of Attica. * . i iran Southern Shipbuilding. Despite the assertion that our ship? ping industry can never flourish with? out a subsidy the building of Ameri? can ships is going ahead at an unpr? ecedented rate. Not only is every ship yard in the United States taxed to its full capa? city, but it is impossible for them to keep up with the demands upon them. They are constantly enlarging their plants and facilities and still find it iard to keep up with their work. The immense increase of the business of southern ports has naturally given an impulse to shipbuilding in this section and we may expect to see it reach great proportions in the early future. Brunswick has recently attracted much attention as an exceptionally advantageous point for ship building. Other southern ports are being -favorably discussed in this connection. The establishment of a great ship? building and dry dock plant at Mobile seems to be assured and the city that has lain quiet so long shows signs of very hopeful life and activity. Th? Gulf Coast and Dry Dock com? pany is back of this big enterprise at Mobile. It starts out on a scheme of $5,000,000 share capitalization and a contemplated bonded indebtedness of $4,000,000. It is said that a large part of the stock has been subscribed al? ready and that a number of strong northern capitalists are interested. The construction bf an isthmian canal would be of immense benefit to the gulf ports. As soon as that work should be assured New Orleans, Gal? veston, Mobile and Pensacola would feel the effect and would certainly take on new life. - The prospect for the building of a canal either across ? Nicaragua or Panama seems to be better now than ever before. The. senate will probably ratify the ameaded treaty that has been agreed upon by the United States and Great Britain and then the way would be clear, for the necessary amount of money, enormoos as it is, would be speedily forthcoming. Mobile is in fine humor over her outlook and well she may be.-Atlanta Journal. Our Inland Wafer Ways. Messrs. Wlliam L. and Thomas A. Edison. Jr., sons of the famous inven? tor, and other members of the family, left Baltimore on Sunday on the gaso? line launch to Florida by way of the inland passage. According to the Sun, the trip was taken principally for the benefit of the health of one of the ladies in the party and will cover a period of about six weeks. After stopping at Annapolis for a short time to inspect the Naval Academy and other points of interest, the voyagers will continue to Old Point Comfort and Norfolk. From there the route will be through the Dismal Swamp canal and thence by various inland waters to Charleston, where the party will take in the Ex? position. After leaving Charleston the only really dangerous part of the journey will commence. For about fifty miles, from Charleston to Sapelo, the party will have to take its chances on the broad Atlantic. From Sapelo, how? ever, there will be another long stretch through Georgia and Florida waters, land-protected waters. The route through Florida is a beautiful one, taking in, as it does, the Indian river, St. John's river, Lake Kissimee and Lake Okeechobee. The last leg in the voyage will be the Caloosahatchee river, upon the banks of which the famous inventor has built a handsome country home. This incident recalls the fact that the late Marshall Parks, of Norfolk, conceived the idea of having the Gov? ernment construct connecting links here and there along the Atlantic coast, so as to give inland waterway j practically from New York to Florida. Apart from the manifest advantage | of such a waterway in time of war, Mr. Parks contended that it would be of the greatest benefit to navigation, and he spent many precious days of his life in trying to make the mem? bers of Congress think so. Mr. Parks was right and sooner or later the Government will adopt his view. A rich deposit of fire clay has been discovered near Rome, Floyd county, Georgia. The N. Y. Supreme Court allows Mrs. Ida. Flagler $25,000 a year. The expenses of Czolgosz's trial and conviction was $1,799.52. The Senate of Spain has passed a bill prohibiting the coinage of silver. ! REVOLT OF THE COLOMBIANS. Gen. Lugo Approaching Panama With Large Force. Colon, Colombia, Nov. 22, 5 p. m. -The latest news obtainable here is to the effect that the Liberal general, Lugo, has arrived at Empire station, distant about twelve miles from Panama, with a force said to number 1,000 men. The Liberals are gaining and arming many recruits along the entire length of the railroad and now control the line up to within a point two miles from Panama. An attack on that city is expected momentarily and much uneasiness is felt there. The Liberal leader, Domingo Diaz, is expected shortly to arrive at Colon. It is rumored here that Buena Ven? tura (a Colombian port on the Pacific coast about 400 miles south of Panama) has been taken by the Liberals. Con? firmation of this report is lacking. Marines from the gunboat Machias still guard the station and property of the railroad here. The battleship Iowa will lead forces at Panama when the necessity arises. OFFICIALS OVERCOME IN MIKE. Went to Investigate Baby Mine Disaster and Supposed to Kaye Perished. Bluefield, W. Va., Nov. 22.-At ll o'clock this morning Superintendent Walter O'Malley, of the Pocahontas colleries company, along with State Mine Inspector William Driest, A. S. Hurst, chief coal inspector for the Castner, Curran & Bullitt company, of Philadelphia, Robert St. Clair, chief coal inspector, Morris St. Clair and William Oldham, sub-coal inspec? tors, Frazier G. Bell, Mining Engi? neer Cardwell, manager of the Shamokin Coal and Coke company of Maybury, W.. Va., composing a party of eight, entered the west main of the Southwest Virginia Improvement com? pany's colleries for the purpose of examining the true situation in regard to the recent explosion and fire in the Baby mine, and up to this hour (12 midnight) have not been heard from. Has Burned 20 Years. ? Interest in the great subterranean conflagration near New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, has been been renewed by the discouraging report that all efforts to circumvent the flames have proved fruitless and that all hope is now practically abandoned. The fire origi? nated in ?S80. It is burning in a rich seam of coal, 30 feet thick, and in a mine that has a shaft 1,000 feet deep. The problem of extinguishing the flames is no nearer solution than it was twenty-one years ago. Water has been let in, but the fire is above the sea level, and the expensive work of flooding has had no effect. After many futile attempts to extin? guish the fire, the engineers dirceted their efforts toward devising plans for circumventing it, and reaching the coal still intact. To that end all the approaches leading to the fire and all the neighboring workings were walled up, and new workings were driven lower down. But every plan so far devised has proved a failure. The all conquering fire has broken through, and every new work has been reluct? antly abandoned. On one occasion, the explosion that perpetuated this destructive and ob? stinate fire caused the death of 45 miners. They were awaiting the ar? rival of a car with some tools, and a boy had been sent out with a hurry-up message, when the explosion occurred. All that could be learned was from the boy's story. He had seen them sitting on the floor when he left them. There death overtook them. To reach or aid them in any? way was beyond human possibility, so their ashes have mingled with the crumbling coal seam which has burn? ed for a generation, and will burn, no doubt, for generations to come. There are unsolved problems about the explosion, and suspicions that protecting walls were not sufficiently thick. But no new light will ever be thrown on the tragedy which sud? denly cut off and consumed a sturdy detachment of the army of industry. Tho Children's Friend. You'll have a cold this winter. May be you have one now. Your children will suff er too. For coughs, croup, bronchitis, grip and other winter complaints One Minute Cough Cure never fails. Acts promptly. It is very pleasant to the taste and perfectly harmless. C B George. Winchester, Ky. writes, "Our little girl was attacked with croup late one night and was so hoarse she could hardly speak. We gave her a few doses of One Minute Cough Cure. It relieved her immediately and she went to sleep. When she awoke next morning she had no signs of hoarseness or croup." J S Hughson & Co. Illiteracy in the South. At a dinner given in New York by the executive board of the Southern Educational Conference, we are told that Dr. E. A. Alderman of New Orleans, one of the field directors, astonished his hearers with the state? ment that but one out of every four whites in the south could read and write, and that a similar state of affairs existed among the blacks. This i^^iartiing statement and we cannot g jve that Dr. Alderman made it. 1 xi he did we are astonished that it was not challenged then and there, and as it was printed in a prom? inent New York newspaper, we aie astonished that it has not since been challenged. It cannot be true. So far as our information goes it is very wide of the mark. According to the censes of 1900 the percentage of na? tive-born literate and illiterate voters in the states named was as follows: Lite- Illite? rate, rate.

C 8.4 The table speaks for itself.-Rich? mond Times. The Virginia Proposition. A strong and jnst fight is being made in Virginia against the proposi? tion before the constitutional conven? tion to divide the school fund so that receipts from taxes paid by the whites "shall go only to the schools for white children and that paid by negroes shall alone go to the support of the schools for the negroes. It would seem that this scheme is impracticable, if nothing else, al? though Virignia is, we believe, the one State which keeps a separate ac? count of the taxes paid by the races. The proposition, however, is undoubt? edly attractive, especially when the apparent uselessness of educating the negro is considered. What effect edu? cation has upon the negro is proble? matical as yet; the extent of its influ? ence has not been great enough so far to determine its value ; and the appa? rent failures are so conspicuously nu? merous that many earnest students of the race problem are fully prepared to contend that all efforts to educate the negro are worse than useless. There are others who go not quite that far and hold that industrial education is all that the negro should have or that he can well utilize. Yet above all contentions and all conflicting opinions this one safe fact stands out: If education, Christian education, will not uplift the negro, then nothing will, and as long as its failure is not fully and completely demonstrated then it is a duty to give the lower race such education as its members are capable of taking. This duty has been assumed by the white people of the south, who pay so large a proportion of the taxes that support the negro schools. Its per? formance is undoubtedly a burden that bears heavily. It increases the tax rate and diverts to that purpose large amounts of money that would otherwise go to the white schools.- Yet, as a rule, the white people of the south, who are the property owners and the taxpayers, have not objected. There have been, occasional sugges? tions that each race be required to support its own schools, but only in Virginia has this pian gained enough support to make its adoption feared as probable. There, it is now evident, exists a formidable sentiment in its favor, but it is hardly to be thought that the plan will prevail, for in addi? tion to its injustice and inhumanity, the constitutionality of such a provis? ion is open to question.-The State. 2?odera Surgery Surpassed. "While suffering from a bad case of piles I consulted a physician who advised me to try a box of De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve," says G F Carter, Atlanta, Ga. "I procured a box and was entirely cured. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve is a splendid cure for piles, giving relief instantly, and I heartily recommend it to all sufferers." Surgery is unnecessary to cure piles. De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve will cure any case. Cuts, burns, bruises and all othsr wounds are also quickly cured by it. Be j ware of counterfeits. J S Hughson & Co. "A.law," says the Governor of New Jersey, "is being prepared and will be enacted by the Legislature that will allow us to prosecute participants in any conspiracy in New Jersey that results directly or indirectly in the assassination of any ruler the world over, the murder of any person in or out of New Jersey. The conspirators will be treated as accessories before the fact and the charge will be mur? der. If convicted, they will suffer just the same punishment as if they were convicted of aiding and abetting in an ordinary case of murder." New Jersey certainly needs more stringent laws against anarchy. But no legislation intended to eradicate this evil should be confined merely to the - punish? ment of assassination after actually committed. It should reach the crime of advocating and teaching assassination, whether or not the act snail follow. The anarchist who com? mits murder expects to forfeit his own life. Punish the inculcation of anarchy as well as its practice. Courier-Journal. The exportation of over $7,000,000 of gold is not a little shocking to those who consider only the excess of our exports over imports. According to their reasoning we ought at this time to have a balance of a billion or two loaned in Europe subject to our call at any moment. We ought to be able to import gold by the hundred million whenever the supply of money in New York gets short. New Y'ork ought to be, as is sometimes asserted, the financial center of the world, ordering the flow of gold as it pleases. But as a matter of fact, we now export gold instead of importing it. The big balance, of which we have heard so much, seems to be non-existent, or at any rate does not seem to be available. The fact is that the balance is more apparent than real. Besides paying for imports we have to pay for the car? riage of freight, the expenses of tourists, the interest on American bonds held abroad and the dividends on shares owned by Europe in Ameri? can industrial, railway and other enterprises of every kind. Our high tariff has forced the manufacturers of Europe to establish branch factories, mills, etc., in this country, and the profits of these {dants go to Europe. \ large portion of our exports go to European owners of American indus? tries. Vast amounts of foreign capital have entered into the development of our resources and in a time of pros? perity the profits upon this capital wiJl be very considerable. The excess of our exports over imports is not therefore always evidence that we are bringing Europe into debt, but often only indicates where much of our capi? tal is owned. Wealthy nations, as a rule, import more than they export, taking their intreest and dividends in the shape of food products, raw materials, etc.-Baltimore Sun. A Physician Tcstflss.

The task of arousing interest in good roads work is going on apace in the South. The Illinois Central made an effective campaign some months ago, and now the Southern Railway is pushing on the svork. It is costing the railroads a great deal of money, but the expense is enlightened selfish? ness, for it will increase their business manifold to secure good roads for the bringing of freight "to their stations. John Stuart Mill, over half a century ago, observed in his "Poltical Econ? omy" that good roads had the same effect upon agricultural communities as an addition to the fertility of the lands they cultivated since the reduced cost of transportation might be of equal vaine to the larger production. The lesson of good roads is a much needed one in the South. Southern people with their open, generous na? tures are prone to waste and extrava? gance and no form of waste has cost them more than the bad roads. A sys? tem of good turnpikes or even of the modern well-drained and well-kept dirt road, constructed according to scien? tific engineering principles, would be worth more than extra barrel of corn or a fraction of a bale of cotton to the acre. With easy and cheap transportation, every pound of market? able value would be gathered and sold and not left to rot in the fields, as is too often the case now. . Besides this country life would be more attractive and the value of real estate would ad? vance. The railroads are doing a great work both for themselves and the country through which they send these good road trains. If they got no other rel?rr.'. than the advertising it gives them they would be well paid, but when in addition they take steps that will insure the building up of their traffic year by year, their re? wards become large enough to justify heavy outlays.-Courier-Journal.

The Christmas Ladies' Home Jour? nal is the largest number of that pop? ular magazine ever issued, and the quality seems in keeping with the quantitv. It opens with an account of "The People Who Help Santa Claus," after which comes a sweet story by Elizabeth McCracken, entitled "The Baby Behind the Curtain." John fox, Jr., the cleverf Kentuckian, con? tributes a short story, and the Jour? nal's new serial of the Western metro? polis, "The Russells in Chicago," is begun. Rudyard Kipling tells amus? ingly "How the First Letter Was Written," and Elliott Flower has a laughable sketch, "The Linfield's Christmas Dinner." The Journal's two romances, "Christine" and "A Gentleman of the Blue Grass," are given their second and third install? ments respectively, and the library of the "Bradley House" is shown. Mr. Bok's editorial takes the form of a personal and somewhat confider tial chat with his readers. There are also a children's Christmas play by Ednah Proctor Clarke, some touching stories of "The Other Side of the Town," by the Rev. David M. Steele, and an in? teresting account of the Sistine Ma? donna done in needlework. The vari? ous departments are unusually streng, and the whole magazine is full of the Christmas spirit. A noteworthy .-fea? ture, pictorially, is the double page of college girls, on which are shown groups of college girls from nearly evrey girl's school of note in the coun? try. This is only the first in a "pic? ture story" of one hundred photo? graphs, which will show "What a Girl Does at College." The cover de? sign is a beautiful piece of work by Thomas Mitchell Pierce.

The report of the directors shows the total liabilities of the company to be S3,326,114.69 net, assuming that the assets of S14G.454 are collectible at face. The company owes for operating expenses on construction nearly $(500, 000. An interesting fact shown by the report is the total cost to the exposi? tion company of the exposition. The j cost, according to the report, was 88, 860,757.20. The total receipts from admissions after May 1st were $2.-h57, [>r>?;.."S, and the receipts from conces? sions were ?53.011,522.79. The balance due to the first mortgage bondholders is 8174,979, and to second mortgage bondholders 8500,000, both of which are included in the liabilities as given. In spite cf this very poor exhibit the people of Buffalo say that the exposi? tion as a whole was very profitable to the city. Richmond Times. A Southeastern Base Ball League will be organized for next season. The resolution of the Cotton Spin? ners' Association at Atlanta in favor of a merchant marine on a basis that will be free from favoritism to in? trenched interests and which will re? cognize the producing classes in the redaction of freight rates is so far well enoagh. But the subsidy-hunters are not contemplating the reduction of freight rates. What they want is more money for running ships wheth? er they carry any frieght or not. One of their arguments for bounties is that tramp steamers carry freight too low. They wish to get more money, and not less, out of the producing classes-all they can directly for carrying the freight, and a great deal more for their services to the public by owning ships.-Courier- Journal.
