Presbyterian church, of which he had
been a member for over a quarter of a
century. City offices and all business?
houses suspended business during the
funeral hours.
One of the most attractive and cost

Powers, charged with the Goebel murder,
who is in jail in Louisville. Colonel
Breckenrdge had made a vigorous
fight in Powers' behalf and did
much in editorial utterances to procure
for him an unbiased jury.
A sensatonal incident of the occa
sion occurred when General John B
Castleman, of Louisville, and Captain
James B. Clay, ot Lexington, came
near to blows in the lobby of the Phoe
nix hotel before the funeral services,
and had not friends interfered and
ejected the irate grandson of the great
commoner from the place there might
have been serious trouble.- General
Castleman was present to atend the
funeral and met Captain Clay in the
hotel..
The captain, who has recently been
appointed a brigadier general by the
Confederate Veterans of Kentucky, admonished
General Castleman that he
had failed to salute as an officer of
superion rank. General Castlemain said
he recognized no rank in private life
or thfl cnmo timp smiled sarcas
tically at Captain C!ay, saying that he
thought the war was over. Captain
Clay had raised his cane and was in
the act of striking General Castleman
when the hotel officer pushed up and
took Captain Clay out of the hotel.
IN RACE FOR GOVERNOR.
Hon. Ciark Howell, Editor of Atlanta
Constitution, Makes Announcement.
Positive announcement of his intenI
iion to run for governor of *the state
! of Georgia two years hence was made
| Monday by Hon. Clark Howell, editor
of the Atlanta Constitution, and state
j senator from-the Fifth district. This
declaration of Mr. Howell's intention
I at this time is due to the virtual anj
nouncement of their candidacy for gov!
ernorship by Hon. J. H. Estill, of Savannah,
and Hon. Boykin Wright, of
Augusta.
It has been reported for some time
past that Mr. Howell would run, but
[ he has remained silent as to his intentions
until Monday. In response to
the question whether or not he woulJ
be a candidate, Mr. Howell said:
"The fact that two other announcements
have already been made perhaps
j justifies me in saying, even thus earj
ly, that I will be in the race, thai my
j friends may know of my intentions.
"The people are just out of one cam|
paign, and it is rather early to precipi
itate another; indeed, I will not do so
further than to say to my friends and
well wishers in all parts of the state
that at the proper time I shall make
j formal announcement presenting my
candidacy to the consideration of the
voters of the state. The statement 1
make now -and any formal announcement
that may afterwards be made,
will perhaps not be received as a matter
of news, for without any word
from me, or any effort to build up a
sentiment favorable to my cnadidacy,
I the idea seems to have been prevalent
for some time that I would be in the
race, and many of my friends have
been moving accordingly. I suppose
this grew out of the thought that as
president of the senate the sugg^tion
was logical and the promotion net unreasonable.
At any rate, whatever
may be the cause of it, I am in a position
whene, in justice to myself and
to those whose friendly interests has
been so earnestly manifested in my
y?iyioif ?r mflv hp said that I will at the
I proper time go before the people, take
the matter up with them, and abide by
j the result of the primary."

WOMAN GETS PARDON.
! Mam he DeCris, Notorious "Diamond
Queen," Liberated from Georgia
Prison at MiliedgeviHe.
Mamie DeCris, the white woman who
has been serving a two-year sentence
in the Georgia state penitentiary for
' obtaining diamonds and jewelry undet
j false pretenses in Savannah, and who
! was kown as the "Diamond Queen/'
j was granted a pardon Thursday by the
; prison commission on me eve of the
| expiration of her sentence.
J The pardon when recommended by
j the commission was promptly granted
! by Governor Terrell. The reasons
j given in the order granting the pardon
! are as follows:
"Defendant's term will expire No!
vember 21, 1904, and expressing a
' profound repentance for her crime and
her intention of leading a useful life
after her discharge, it is thought that
this clemency may be of assistance to
her."
The expressions from Mamie DeCris
j here referred to, of her repentance and
! her intention to lead a useful life, were
conveyed in a ltter written by her to
the commission several days ago. In
that letter she practically asked for a
pardon for the reasons stated.
Mamie DeCris was released from
the state prison farm at Milledgeville
Friday, only a couple of days before
! the expiration of her sentence.
The commission was confronted by
I the possibility that she might make
use of a pardon to her own advantages
should she return to her criminal
ways, but after full consideration
decided to risk all this in the hope
that it might aid in making a better
! woman of her.
Mamie DeCris is the woman who
j created such a stir in the penitentiary
| department in the summer of 1903,
I when she was whipped for a breach of
j discipline by Warden Allagood. The
i legislature, which was in session when
: the matter came out, took the matter
j up and many sensational newspaper
! articles were written about the case.
' Subsequently the warden who admin{
istered the whipping and other officials
at the state farm were dismissed and
i others put in their places.
Mamie DeCris obtained several hun!
dred dollars'^ worth of diamonds and
j jewelry from Savannah merchants by
j using the name of a well known and
wealthy woman of that city.

A study of fifteen weeks on the isth*
mus during the past summer has con|
vinced me that the effect, of the climate

ed to tender my resignation, to take

you to accept it.

EQUALITY NOT SOUGHT, f
Booker Washington Reiterates His.Ad*
vice to the Race in an Address
at Montgomery, Alabama. J
In an address delivered at Montgomery,
Ala., on the opening of a colored
club and reading room, Booker Wash- 0
ington reiterated the advice he has ?
given to his negro hearers in all his
public lectures, to make every effort
. I I
to increase the value of their service
in every department of manual toil, to
seek to own their homes and buy
small pieces of land to cultivate, to rofrain
from shielding the criminal, and
to co.operate with the good white people
in preserving the law. He de- ^
clared his belief that the negro did eg
not seek social equality with the
whites. w
He sounded a note of warning ei
against the extravagance and excesses $3
to which his people might be tempted
by the unusual success and financial
prosperity that many of them now enjoy.
Said he: w
"Referring to the opportunities that ui
are at hand, recently I have been n<
studying into the condition of the six
or eight million of our people in South ge
Africa, and I find that the opportunity
afforded the American negroes in the
southern states is far beyond those existine
in South Africa. The field for s
development is far beyond any that ex- 0?
ists fcr the Mexican peons. And, again,
if we are inclined to become discouraged,
let us compare our condition
with that of the Russian serfs or Rus. ni
sian Jews who, in industrial, educa- |
tional and professional opportunities, ^
are almost centuries behind the Amer- .
ican black man.
More and more in our moVal life w
we must* learn to draw the line between
the good and the bad, the vie- { 11
ious and the virtuous. We must set j r<
our seal of approval upon right living j a]
and create a pub^'c sentiment that j p:
shall condemn wrong living. We J ^
should see to it that oy no word or
act we shield the crimina. element of b
our race. We should let the world un- ^
derstanc that we are just as anxious
to seek out and see that our criminals 11
are brought to proper punishment a3
any other race. a
"Right here I want to repeat what I i G
have often said in the past, in the di- j 0:
rection of freeing, if I can, the minds n
of our friends from apprehension of ;
danger in two directions. It bas been j b
my privilege tor mingle freely with the i b
leaders of the race in every part of b:
the country, and I say without hesita- tl
tion that the negro dees not consider ^
social intermingling with any other b
race as one of- the essentials for his n
development. Neither is the negro
seeking in any part of this country as I Q
a race, to control the white race in | P
matters of government. In purely so- I ci
cial matters the negro finds all the t(
satisfaction that he wishes among the s<
members of his own race, and in proportion
as education increases the. ?
number of intelligent negroes, in the
same proportion will he find such satisfaction
increased because of the enlarged
number of men and women with F
whom he can find association with satisfaction.
