Macon Chamber of Commerce Wins Its Fight. Macon, Ga., April 21.—Steady plan ning of the navigation committee of the chamber of commerce has result ed in quite a general interest among boat owners of Brunswick and points between here and that city, and within a short time all details of arrangements with the business men here will be completed so that when steamers come they will find ready business. Within the next month, at least, one company will be engaged in shipping over the Ocmulgee from this city to the sea. Other boat owners have also taken steps to begin traffic and agree ments are now being entered into between the busines men and the steamer owners. A'numeber of communications from several concerns reveals the fact that people along the river have received the anouncement of a revival of river traffic with considerable interest, and every is being made to secure the In itial trip as soon as possible.

New York, April 21.—That no time will be lost in the work of re-building San Francisco is suggested by the fact that the largest engineering and con tracting firms are sending their most expert men to investigate the ruins with a view of discovering which form of construction best withstood the shock. The city will require about 250,- 000 tons of structural steel to repair her losses, and to erect new buildings, according to E. H. Garry, head of the ‘United States Steel corporation and other authorities. — Emperor's Act Caused Comment. Berlin, April 21.—Emperor William’s promptness In cabling to President Roosevelt sympathies with the unfor tunate people of San Francisco, has caused some comment in that section of the press, where the emperor’s tar diness In conveying his condolences to the king of Italy was unfavorably mentioned. Newspaper organs, In ac cord with the government, however, point out* the overwhelming nature of the California disaster has put the Ve suvius calamity in the shade. Tomalaee Pile of Ruins; Oakland, CaMf., April 21.—A die patch from Ban Rafael says that the town of Tomalaes is a pile of ruins. All of the large stores art fiat The Catholic church, a new atone structure. Is also ruined. Many ranch houses end bares are down. The two chil dren, Anita and Peter Couxza, were in> stantly killed In a Calling hous* The Web of Venice. Tn Venice one !s ns if caught in an fciuense network, or spider's web, which, ns one walks in Its midst, seems to tighten the closer about one. Tho streets narrow overhead, push outward with beams and stone balconies nhd many turning angles; seem to loosen their hold for a moment where a bridge crosses a narrow canal between -high walls and over dark water and then tighten again in close lanes where the smells of the shops meet and fume about one’s face. The lanes are busy with men iu rough clothes and with women iu shawls, Imreheaded and with great soft bushes of hair, who come and go quietly, slipping past one anoth er in these narrow spaces, where there is hardly room to pass, as the gondolas slip past one another in the narrow canals. The road is difficult to find, for a single wrong turning may lead one to the other end of Venice. This movement, the tangles of the way, the continual ttrresting of one’s attention by some window, doorway or balcony put a strain upon one’s eyes and Imgiu after a time to tire and stupefy the brain. There is no more t>ewildering city, and as night comes on the l>e- wildennent grows almost disquieting. —Arthur Symons in Scribner’s. Ilapplciit People In Europe. —7 If it be in harmony with one’s sur roundings to work and to thrive a little and to rear children, to have liberty and security and be tolerant and self respecting constitute any measure of happiness, then the Swiss are by all odds the happiest people In Euroi>e. Such, I think, is the judgment of all observers that have l>eeu much among them. You can test It by a simple ref erence. From every other nation in Europe thcce is emigration; from Swit zerland little or none. At all times about 300.000 Swiss are In foreign countries learning languages or meth ods of combining travel with work, but they come home, always they come home. The typical Swiss never thinks of making permanent residence out side of Switzerland, or, if once think ing so, he changes his mind when he makes trial thereof.—Everybody’s Mag azine, A Few First Aid Hlata. The following first aid advice was given at a meeting of railway sur geons; “Don’t put your finger on an open wound; don't put a quid of tobacco on a wound, no matter how small It may be; don’t use cobwebs or hornet's nest to stop bleeding; dou't dose the patient with whisky, brandy, rum or gin; don’t bind or cover a wound with a hand kerchief or rag (If you cannot get a first aid packet use clean old muslin that has been dipped in boiling water for a few minutes); don’t sit a patient up when he is very pale or weak; don't wash a wound, and don’t remove blood clots.” These hints are meant for public in struction for those of the laity who may have occasion to extend first aid In case of accidents. ProfeMloaal Fees. v It Is sometimes claimed that the sur geon or the physician is the only man who Is paid for his mistakes, but that la clearly untrue. Lawyers receive fees for the cases that they lose, and other men are not “docked” whenever they fall short of complete success. The truth is that the idea of human com pensation is based upon intelligent, honest effort and reputed skill. If all fees and salaries were contingent upon absolute perfection in the task under taken they wonld have to be Increased many times over, since absolute per fection or complete success is very rare in any line of activity.—Chicago Chronicle. Mrnnace PI*dKe». London pawnbrokers are frequently ask mI to take strange things In pawn. Tho other day a 11 ol born pawnbroker lent $1U) on a fin§ horse, which one of bis daughters rode until it was re deemed.

In remembrance of Carson Drawdj- my dear loving brother who left n"a Friday morning, April 6, for a better home than this, where he will have no more sickness, pain or sorrow, but where he can be rejoicing evermore with his loved-ones who have gone before him. Carson was kind-hearted to all whom he came in contact }with and obedient to his parents. He was a member of the Metho dist church, which he joined in early childhood. A loving father and mother, three brothers and tour sisters are, left to mourn his departure. Carson's favorite hymn was. “When the Beautiful Gates Unfold,” now he has gone where they have unfolded and taken him in, where he can sing with the angels the sweet songs of praise. Bister.
