Official news of the Russian Baltic fleet firms on. the British fishing ves- j sols reached Washington Monday in j a cablegram to the state department j from the American consul at Hull, j England. He recited the facts as j stated in the press dispatches and added that great excitement prevailed there. The British government Monday afternoon sent urgent notes of protest to the Russian government on the subject of the Russian attack on the British fishing fleet in the North sea I through both Arnbasador Hardinge and the Russian arnbasador in London. Foreign Secretary Lansdowne reach- j : ed London Monday afternoon and af- j ter gathering the latest details known j at the foreign office regarding the fir- j icg on the British fishing boats toy j the Russian squadron, proceeded to i Buckingham palace, where he had a i ton^-thv interview with Kine Edward. I I The latter telegraphed a mesage of! 'sympathy to the mayor of Hull. After the conference, Lord Lansdowne addressed a strong protest to Ambasador Hardinge for presentation ; to the Russian government. Special j stress is laid on the callousness dis- j - played by the Russians in not going io j the assistance of the fishermen. Lord j Lansdcwne asks that immediate redress shall be made. It is believed in government circles that the Russian government will take the earliest opportunity to give satisfaction. and it appears to be expected that Russia will explain the affair,! adding that the Russian officers had j reason to be lieve that there were j mines, or ships with mines, in the neighborhood where the fishing fleet ' was attacked.

Fortunately for the issue of peace or war, nothing resulted; yet through-J rout Monday night a special force of; police was compelled to guard the Russian embassy.

TO FEDERAL COURT'Case of Lynchers at Huntsville Goas as Outcome of Judge Jones' Re- ' cent Charge to Grand Jury. A Huntsville. Ala., special says: After spending over two weeks in investigating the lynching of Horace Maples, as well as other violations of the law, the United States grand jury turned in a sensational report Monday. Twelve indictments were returned, several of which were against alleged lynchers. The grandd jury recites that the mob was repeatedly notified that Maples, would be given a speedy trial, that no one can believe that the prisoner would have been shown any favor or immunity from 1 punishment for his crime, and that if he had not been a negro, the lynching would never have occurred. The report continues: "We invoke the sense of justice, of right, of civilization and of honor of the people of our section that they may see from this time forth that the law enforced, its majesty recognized j and sustained and mob violence and j its sure companion, anarchy, shall be J suppressed and punishment inflicted j upon those who participate in it. "Our people must stand steadfast and firm for law and' order, for without these there can be no security or protection for the lil'e, character, person or property of any of our citizens. Few can be induced to believe that had Maples been a white man charged with killing a negro he would i have been thus robbed of his life and j deprived of a trial in the courts and j an opportunity to dispiove the charge made against him. The white people of this section of the south feel that they owe a duty to the negro race, which has occupied and still occupies an inferior position to theirs, and there can be no higher or greater from a superior to an inferior race. "The law must be vindicated, order maintained and an anarchy abolished and punished. If this cannot be done by one agency, then rational and honest men should welcome"its accomplish ment from any source by which pun isbment and prevention may be lawfully administered. Should these crimes bring upon our people what some may consider as outside tribunals to those made exclusively by the state, the chief blame will be due to the failure of our own people to respect the law and those who violate it.' Judge Thomas Jones, in discharging the grand jury, delivered an eloquent tribute to the jury and said that in after years the people would rise lip and bless the memory of the jurors who had made so fearless and so patriotic a report. He said he did not care for the slings and arrows of those who are false leaders of the people, that no man who enjoyed the consciousness of doing his duty ever did. He knew that he was right and was willing to allow the honest judgment of eighty-five millions of people to pass upon the righteousness and the findings of the grand jury. SUES FOR HALF THE TOWN. Misouri Woman Claims City Property in Augusta, Ga. Mrs. Will Martin, of Independence. Mo., threatens to enter suit for about one-half of Augusta. Ga. If her claims should be allowed by the courts she would get all that por- I tion of the city west of Cumming | street and from the river to the city limits south.

We know what He made food afcd 1 water for, aud air amj/suiisbinfe, but j why Whisky, Tobacco and Coffee? i They are iiere sure enough and each j performing its work. { There must be some great 1)1 an beJ hind it all; the thoughtful man seeks j to understand something of that plan 1 and thereby to judge these articles for their true worth. | Let us net say "bad" or "good" withi out taking testimony. * | There are times and conditions when I it certainly seems to the casual observi er that these stimulant narcotics are j real blessings. | Right there is the ambush that con' ceals a "killing" enemy, j One can slip into the habit of either | whisky, tobacco or coffee easy enough, j but to "untangle" is often a fearful ! struggle. lr seems piuiu mar mere are circumstances when the narcotic effect of j these poisons .is for the mojDJcnt benej liciai, hut the fearful argument against i them is that seldom ever does one find I'a steady user .of. either..whisky, cofj fee or tobacco free .from disease of j some kind. .. Certainly powerful elements in their ; effect on the human race/ . |- It is a matter of daily history testei fled to by literally millions of people, that Whisky, Tobacvo and Coffee are smiling, promising, beguiling friends on the start, but always false as hell itself in the end. once tney get nrm noiu enough to show their strength, they insist upon governing and drive the victim steadily towards ill health In some form; if permitted to continue | to rule, they will not let up until phyi sical and mental ruin nets in. A man under that spell (and "under the spell" is correct), of any one of these drugs, frequently assures himself and his friends, "Why, I can leave off any time I want to. I did quit for a week just to show I could." It is a sure mark of the slave when one gets To mat stage. Jtie wjggiea tnrougn a week flghtiug every day to break the spell, was finally whipped, and began his slavery all over again. The slave (Coffee slave as well as Tobacco and Whisky) daily reviews his condition, sees perfectly- plain the stead}* encroachments of disease, how the nerves get weaker day by day and demand the drug that seems to smile and offer relief for a few minutes and then leave the diseased condition plainer to view than ever and growing worse. Many times the Coffee slave rea-lizes that he is between two fires. He feels bad if he leaves off, and a little worse if he drinks and allows the effect to wear off. So it goes 011 rroui ua} to day. Every night the struggling v.ctim promises himself that he will break the habit and next day when lie feels a little bad (as he ip quite sure to), breaks, not the habit,' but his c wn resolution. It is nearly always a lo igh fight, with disaster ahead sure if ihe habit wins. There have been hundreds of thousands of people driven 'o their graves through disease brought on by coffee drinking alone, and it is quite certain that more human misery is caused l>y coffee and tobacco than by whisky, for the two first are more widely used, and more hidden and insidious in tbT? effect on nerves, heart and other vital organs, and are thus unsuspected until much of the dangerous work is {lone. ' ' Now. Reader, what is your opinion as to the real use the Creator has for these things? Take a look at the question from this point of view. There is a law of Nature and of Nature's God that things slowly evolve from lower planes to higher, a sturdy, steady and dignified advance toward more perfect things in both the Physical and Spiritual world. The ponderous tread of evolutionary deveiop "* !? Kr Hm Infinifa anrl will Ult'll L id llicu U?? U1C xuuuitv ..... not bo quickened out of natural law by any of man's methods. Therefore we seo many ilustrations showing how nature checks too rapid advance. Illinois raises phenomenal crops of corn for two or three years. If she continued to do so every year her farmers would advance in wealth far beyond those of other sections or countries. So Nature interposes a bar every three or four years and brings on a "bad year." Here wc see the leveling influence at work. A man is prosperous in his business for a number of years and grows rich. Then Nature sets the "leveling influence" at work on liiin. Some of his investments lose, he becomes luxurious and lazy. Perhaps it is whisky, tobacco. coffee, women, gambling, or some other form. The intent and purpose is to level him. Keep him from evolving too far ahead of the masses. A nation becomes prosperous and great like ancient Home, n no leveling influence set in she would dominate the world perhaps for all time. But Dame Nature sets her army of "Ievelers" at work. Luxury, over eating and drinking, licentiousness, waste and extravagance, indulgences of all kinds, then comes the wreck. Sure, Sure, Sure. me law o! the unit is the law of the mass. Man goes through the same process. Weakness (in childhood), gradual growth of strength, energy, thrift, probity, prosperity, wealth, ! comfort, ease, relaxation, self-indulj irence. luxury, idleness, waste, dei s: haucbery, disease, and the wrecfc.folf Mows. The "leyeiers" are In the bushes I ' alorig the pathway of every successful ^ | man and woman and they bag the ma- i , j jority. i Only now and then can a man stand J out against these "levelers" and hold j i his frtrtnno ; f.-mie and health to the . 1 j end. ^ ! ?>o the Creator has tise for Whisky;] j Tobacco and CoUae'to level down tiie . j successful ones and these who show I signs of being successful, and keep j them back.
