Tillman Prepared for Anything, Even Assassin's Knife. Washington, Jan. 14.-With the avowed Intention of "placing both Attorney General Bonaparte and Postmaster General \ Meyer, in tho Annanlas Club," Senator Tillman to day addressed the Senate. Ho alter nated between acrid denunciation of these two members of the cabinet, and ridicule, which he hurled at t hem. Tillman said that lt was not pleas ant for him to Intrude his personal ity upon the attention of the Senate. Speaking of differences i ii _ recollec tion between himself and Attorney General Bonaparte, he declared: "1 am ready to have my word placed against his In any cou ri in Christen dom and let my record In the past for truht fulness, honesty and Integ rity stand against hie." - Ile asserted that he was not only dealing with the President, "but with all cabinet office rs, who are in a league, because, according to the newspapers, they are discussing me at cabinet meeting!; and determined to accomplish my ruin, If possible. "When I deal with unscrupulous men, as I do now, I am prepared for anything, even the assassin's knife cr my mal! being held up. "1 am satisfied that 1 cannot say that my ?room has not been broken Into, because" there are keys tba? can open everything in this Capitol. They may not have stolen my papers, but they are gone." After having read the letter of the attorney general, In reply to his in quiry yesterday, as regards suit against Southern Oregon Land Com pany, Tillman declared that up to this time, and after niue months, nothing bad been done In response .o the order of Congress to bring suit. Ho wanted to know what de gree of lalsehood was to be charged to the two cabinet officers, "Or head clerks, or boot-licks, or whatever the President bas around him." Tillman laid stress upon tho fact that he had nol attempted to obtain government land, bul duly to pur chase land which had been given a corporation, with a stipulation that the corporation sell lt to the public nt $2.50 por acre.

WHEN AND HOW MONEY TALKS. "Where Your (Treasure is Tliere Will Your Heart Ik' Also." ( From The Stanadrd.) Money han a voice. In more ways than me think when they nse tho phtase, "Money talks." It talks to mon and lt talks about men. lt re veals secrets of character and desires of the hearts as nothing else can. It declares tunny bidden things of a j man't, inner life which he would iain I keep from hi? fellow men, while at the same time it makes known those excellencies which are a crown of glory. The channels into which a man's money Hows tell what the man is, what bis purpose and ambitious are, what the tendencies of his life, and often Indicate what bis destiny will bo. Money talks, lt tells where a man's heart ls. Money goes most freely and readily in the direction of one's affections. "Where your treasure is there Will your hear? be also." Whe ther a man's heart ls fixed on heav enly things or earthly, whether he loves (?od and the souls of men, or loves himself and the things of the world which pass away, is clearly in dicated by the use he makes of his money. Money tells what a man loves most tind desires most. No one can havo his affections set supremely on things above and then spend the most of his money on luxuries and pleasures, or board lt ni? in vast amounis and give little or nothing for the spread of the gospel. If a man really loves the kingdom of God and earnestly desires its advance ment lt will be manifested in his giving toward its extension. What a man dei'? with his money shows whe ther he is living for the present or for eternity, whether he ls laying up treasure en earth or laying it up lu heaven. Money tells whose servant a man is. lt clearly declares whether God or mammon is his master. "No man can serve two masters." As money conies into a man's life it either mas ters him or he masters it. "Wealth is apt lo grow stronger than the man who owns it. lt owns him and he loses his moral and spiritual free dom." In order to maintain his free dom, and not become money's slave, a mau must master money and make it serve Cod. Ile must definitely ad just and relate the acquisition, use, and distribution of money in every way, to the will of God, and he must seek to do in all lils money affairs what God wants him to do as his steward. Money talks, for it declares whe ther a man is sincere in what he says. A man who professes to be a Chris tian but does not give of bis sub stance for the spread of the gospel, when he is able to, proves the insin cerity of his profession. The world says. "Put up or shut up," and the Bible says nearly the same thing. "But whoso hath this world's goods, and behoblet h bis brothel in need, and Bhutteth up his compassion from him. bow doth the love of God abide in him?" Many of our brothers are in dire need to .lay because so many have not proved the sincerity of their professed love to Jesus Chris! hy passing mi the bread of lite which lie lias entrusted t<> them for this very purpose. The sincerity ot' our pray ers is seen by what we do toward bringing about an answer lo them. Ile who prays "Thy kingdom come," and then gives nothing, and does nothing to hasten the coming ol the Kingdom proves the Insincerity ot his praying. Ile who sincerely prays that prayer will do all he can, and give all he <?iu, to help set up tile kingdom on earth. Professions may be insincere and worthless, but when a man endorses what lie says willi his money we believe him. .Money publishes to tin world what a man's character is. The earning and spending of money Hist of all molds character, and then character expresses Itsoll tn the further acqui sition and use ol' money. The world knows what a man is by the use he makes of his money. As a rule a man is no bette' than his index re veals. Money t.- the stored potential ity oi oneself. The dollar I earn is so much ol' my lite my mental or physical powers-stored up In a coln. What we do with our mom y is what WO do with ourselves. No one does any better with himself than be does with his money. When money ls withheld from benevolent and hu manitarian purposes and hoarded it tells of the selfishness of the man. When it is lavishly spent on luxuries and pleasure it tells of the worldli ness of the man. When lt ls Bought and grasped with consuming eager ness day after day lt tells of the greed and avarice ol' the man. When it is thoughtfully administered for the comfort and welfare of the fam ily it tells of paternal love, and w hen lt ls given to help the suffering and needy, and to carry the gospel to (he unevangelized, lt tells of the benevo lent and Christlike spirit of the mau. Money talks, for lt proclaims the consecration of Hie life. In the Jew ish dispensation the complete sur render of the man to God was sym bolized and expressed by an offering. This offering differed from all the other offerings placed on the altar. lt was called the whole burnt offer ing. Part of it went to the priest or to the offerer. I! WUH all for God. The offering symbolized fullness of i he consecration of thc offerer. By the self-sacrificing character of the gifts men make to God of the sub stance which lie has entrusted to them as his stewards they express and sf-aI tin consecration of them selves to him. The man whose in come was $10,000 a year, ami who lived on .SI.mm, ?ind devoted the re mainder to (he Lord's work, mani fested his faith and the complete ness of his consecration to Jesus Christ. Money talks, for it tells whether pastors are missioiiarv or not In spirit and leadership. The offerings of their churches tell the story, in om instance, known to the Witter, the pastor so inspired his people with the missionary spirit, and so wisely int rodin ed iip-tO-dnto methods of missionary giving, thal the offerings for mi ?ons increased from $200 to $900 In a single year. Another prominent and somewhat wealthy church had no record of missionary offerings for several years. The pas tor had a repualion for discouraging THORNTON J. HAINS IS FREE.

The jury was out 22 hours. lt was learned from one of the jurors that seven ballots were taker. The first ballot stood eight to four for acquittal. The next change came early this morning, when a ballot showed nine jurors In favor of free ing the defendant. "Like ii Poker (?ame," Said Hains. Thornton Hains was quoted to-day as saying that "he would willingly do it over again." "if my brother, tho major here," he said, "got into trouble and need ed me for protection, I'd do the same thing." Hains was asked whether, after he bad twice been tried on a charge ol' murder, he would continue to carry a revolver. "Certainly I'll carry a gun," he an. swered. "A man can't tell when he might have to uso lt." "Heing on trial for your life,".he added, "is like a game of poker. The accused goes In holding a pair of deuces and the prosecution bolds ! three aces, lt is all In the draw, i I have been asked if the night before last, while the jury was out, was not tho worst 1 ever spent. It was not by any means. 1 have spent nights on shipboard in storms that were much more nerve racking. I was I not worried that night about the jury.

The crowd began to gather at about 10, and by 12 they were fill gathered and all talking and laugh ing lu a way only the Abbotts can. At 1 o'clock the most pleasant part of tho day began, that of eating. And such a dinner! Everything any one could wish was provided. Dut wo feel that we must describe the decoration, a large loaf cake with Icing, and on tho top a smaller cake with the words, "In Memory of Our mother," written on lt In candy; r n one side the date 1S12, on thc other 1900, when Grandma Abbott was born and when she died.

South Carolina Experiment Station t ) Treat Limited Number of Cases. (Columbia State.) Commenting on your article in De cember 2 1st issue, with reference to the discovery of ?: means of combat ing hog cholo ru by the department of agriculture, 1 may say that this promises to be by far the best meth od of dealing with this disease that has so far been advanced. The me thod is certainly based on sound principles. lt is a matter of com mon observation thal whenever an animal ls attacked hy a contagious disease and manages to survive it, thal animal is not likely to suffer from a second attack of the same disease. In other words, we say that the animal has developed an Immu nity towards thal particular disease. This (ondit ion is brought about by the fact that whenever the toxins or poisons of any contagious disease are 1,rough In contact with the vari ous cells of the body, those cells be gin to develop another substance called Hie nnti-loxitl, which tends to neutralize the poison already pro duced and prohibit its further pro duction. lt has also been mund that sucli an animal can be junde to pro duce large quantities of this protec tive substance or anti-toxin, and lt is the principle that has been taken advantage of by the department of agriculture at Washington In devel oping their hog cholera serum, the methods of which were explained in your article. The results of the treatment as administered by Hrs. Dorset and Niles have been remarkable, .and several weeks ago the department arranged with the South Carolina experiment station to co-operate in the further development of this me thod of treatment. While the serum will be provided by this station free of charge and a limited number of cases treated free, lt will be neces sary for the present that the trav eling expenses connected with such work be paid by the owner of the bogs thus treated. lt should also he borne in mind thal this is a preven tive rather than a curative treatment, bul Will prove of Immense value when resorted to at tho beginning ol' an outbreak. Anything thal tends to promote such a profitable Industry as that of hog raising in the South should be hailed with delight, and any inqui ries referring to this niel hod of treatment addressed to the South Carolina Experiment Station will be promptly answered.

Indian Wife of Gen. Sam Houston Left .Mon?' to Die of Hunger. Anadarko, Okla., Jan. 10.-Lett alone to. die of hunger and shunned by ber tribesmen, ls the story of Me lissa Houston, the Indian wife of Gen. Sam Houston, first president of Texas. This woman ls, according to the best authority, 114 years old. She is a full-blood Kiowa, and at thu time was a belle of the famous tribe of warriors. She Uves in her tepee on the banks of the Washlta river, three miles from the agency. As the white settlers knew lt would offend thc members of her tribe should they render assistance, they refrained from doing so. She is given small rations once a week, enough to sustain life, but she refuses any one the privilege of en tering ber tepee. Gen.

The Cost of Tuberculosis. (.1. Sloal l issett, lu Charities auld The Common.)

Prof. Irving Fisher states that tin. money cost ol' tuberculosis, including capitalized earning power lost by death, exceeds $8,000 for each death, so that the hand of this destroyer lins already laid Its para lyzing grasp upon $1.100,000,000 worth of human productive energy a year, and of this cost two-fifths, or ?4 10,000,000, falls on others than the consumptive.
