?HTS BONAPARTE AND MEYER.
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.

There's a stillness in Ihn atmosphere

A minor chord peals forth in harsh

Winter joys have been sadly blighted

Fragrant Howers have no more sweet

Ail the wide world loons dark and

The moon and stars have lost their

The busy bees have ceased their hum

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

Second Trial ano1 Acquittal of Mur
der Charge?
Flushing, NT, V.. Jun/ 15.-Thorn
tun J. Hains -..as to-day acquitted ot'
the churge of murder In tho first, de
gree which grew out of the killing of
William E. Annis at the Hayslde
Yacht Club, August lf>, 1908.
Hains stood over his brother, Capt.
Pete? C. Hains. Jr.. while the latter
shot down Annis, but did not netu
aiiy participate >n the shooting.
Ills brothel, Capt. Hains, has not
yet been put on trial.
This is the second time that Hains
has been acquitted of a murder
thargo; in I 80 I he was tried in Vir
ginia for killing his former friend.
Edward A. Hanngan, off Fortress
Monroe, with whom he quarreled
while canoeing. That time he was
acquitted on the ground that he acte-'
In self-defense. 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. Quite early 1 got word from a
cop, who looked in the jury room
I window, that the jury stood nine to
! three In my favor. Hut 1 would not
have given a* nickel for my chances
when the jury went out."

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

MAKE WAH ON HOG CHOLERA.
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. (!. Harnett.

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

The Cost of Tuberculosis.
(.1. Sloal l issett, lu Charities auld
The Common.)
There are Nt?,OOO,OOO people lu
the United States, and lt is estimated
that 200,000 of them die of tubercu
losis every year, lt is estimated that
ll 2-10 per cent of ail who die die
from tuberculosis. ll that is true
then of Hie Sd.000.000 of the people
now living in the United S'nies 9,
C32.000 are doomed to die of tuber
culosis. 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

sis of energy, is extended to what

Never Has u President 80 Angered
(lie Legislative Body.
Washington, Jan. 17.-individual
members of Congress and the two
houses collectively aro determined to
overlook no opportunity, between
now and March 4 to shoot barbed
and poisoned arrows into the Presi
dent, rend him before the public
gaze, to brand and disgrace him. If
possible, before he shall leave the
White House.
They feel that the President has
llouled and Insulted Congress, ami
they are indignant. They believe
that his popularity throughout tho
country ls waning, and they rejoice.
They are planning all sorts of "ex
posares," digging all manner of traps
atuMaying several trains of dynamite
in the hope of sending him skyward,
in a word, Congress has its dander
up.
Impeachment ls actually bein,;
talked of out loud by several Indig
nant members. At first it wa? omy
breathed cautiously in the seclusion
of the cloak rooms. Then lt was
mentioned more boldly. Finally it
Was suokon audibly outside, though
not for publication. Congressmen
explained that lt might be misunder
stood if they sought to llhp'umh tho
President on the ground of his seciot
service message
It baa become quite popular to
serve the President a roast Congress
is daily engaged in the delightful
task or gelling even. The Perkins
committee cf the house, which
brought in the recommendation to
lay thc sec?ui service extracts on tho
table, came to be facetiously dubbed
"thc spanking committee."
Senator Tillman has fired ono
broadside and promises another.
Whether lt ls to be personal or poeti
cal, no one seems to know. All is
grist that now comes to the mill of

Vague and sensational rumors are
