A snocial from Biloxi. Miss., savs:
The fate of the missing yacht Paul
Jones, which left New Orleans on the
3d of January for Peusacoln, lias ut
last been solved, positive news of the
yacht and hor ill-fated crew being reoeivod
Friday at Biloxi from two
sources.
The Paul Jones had the following
pleasure seekers on board:
Joseph Brinkmau, Louisville.
Miss Florence Taggart, daughter of
Mayor Taggart, Indianapolis.
Miss Mnrgerie Woodland, daughter
of (leorge Woodland, vice president
Prairie State bank. Chicago.
Colonel Havry C. Yocum, St. Louis.
, Miss Florence Yocum, St. Louis,his
daughter.
The crew consisted of three men,
whose names are unknown.
The United States lighthouso tender,
Pansy, Captain Fields, which
had been engaged for the past three
days in the search of the missing party.
arrived in Biloxi Friday afternoon
at 5 o'clock and brought the intelligence
that the wreckage of the yacht
had been found during the morning
oti Hreton island, eighteen miles from
Puis ii POutre.
The repor1, brought l?y the mate and
a -ailor on the Pansy leaves no iloubt
as to the fate of the yaelit and of those
on board. The mate, says the wreckage
was scattered all over the island,
and anions other things picked up
were the foremast of the vessel, a
plank bearing the name "Paul .Tones,"
a mirror, a table, new tires of a bicycle,
ft yawl with bow crushed in, and
several other minor articles
From the description of the wreck,
it is clearly evident that the yatch was
destroyed by exploiting, ns otherwise
the vessel would not have gone to
pieces so completely.
Had not an explosion occurred, and
the vessel gone to pieces immediately,
it is more than probable that some, if
not all, of those on hoard would have
mad'1 their way ashore safely.
No Trncu of I'le.ruu'i'r*
No traee of any of the missing per
sons was discovered, although h dib
gent, search was ma le. It is possible,
however, though barely probable, that
some may have made their way to the
almost impenetrable marsh land.
The Pansy was met on her return
trip by the steamer tug Maud, which
had oil board Mayor Taggert, of
Indianapolis, whose daughter was on
board Hie yacht, and Mr. .Tones, the
owner of the vessel, to whom were
related the story of the disaster.

A Washington special of Sunday
mys: It can be stated authoritatively
that if the published reports of the
events at Apia are true the acts of the
Germau consul, Rose, and of the
president of the municipal council,
RaiTel, were not the results of instructions
from the German government,
and so far as those aets wero violative
of the treaty of Rerlin, it is not believed
at the state department that
tbev will receive the approval of the
German government.
While the situation is regarded officially
as requiring delicate treatment,
one of the parties to the exchanges
that are tukiug place is authority for
tlie opinion that it will certainly yield
to culm discussion, and thnt a satisfactory
understanding will be the outOOIiie.
Tills is nr?i!iiniin? !> of il,*,
matter can be handled entirely by the
governments of the three countries,
either through their foreign offices or
their ambassadors.
The danger apprehended is the irresponsible
action of some minor official
away off in Somoa, beyond the immediate
control of the authorities at Berlin,
Washington and London. So far
as tho last reports indicate, the issue 1
between the German representatives
and the American and British representatives
in Samoa had certainly not '
developed beyond a point where it
could bo readily adjusted upon a mere 1
statement of the actual facts, for it is
still believed that all the parties to the 1
treaty aro willing to live up to its provisions,
which of course would involve 1
a readiness to disavow any improper 1
action on the part of their respective 1
agents, and even go further and undo
so much of the mischief already done
by them as it might be possible to J
reach. J
Assuming that tlia trouble at Apia
has passed its acute stage and that it
will be adjusted satisfactorily by such '
measures as are required, there will 1
remain for treatment in the immediate 1
i future the treaty relation of the three *
powers relative to Samoa. '

LYCEUM BUREAU.
WORK OF-WOMEN COMMENDED.

Ar? Knjoyeil By Member* F??r
? Nniiill Sum.
Thore is a way opeu to every community
to elevute, retine, entertain
atul instruct tlieir young people ami
give pleasure to the old. But few
from the unpretending towns are
privileged to go to Atlnuta or any
largo city to hear distinguished men
lecture or to witness scientific exhibitions.
Small towns have the same
pardonable envy of the large cities that
country people have of the towns.
They feel like they are shut out from
many innocent pleasures and privileges
that they could enjoy if they only
lived there.
Well, now, I have been ruminm^ug
about this because of the gratifying
success of our Homo Lyceum in Cartersville.
Our white population- is
only 2,">00?a smaller city than Ala
rietta, Dalton, LaGrange and a dozen
others in Georgia, and many in our
sister states, and so wheu there was
any special attraction hilled for Atlauta
only a few could aftbrd to travel ;>0
miles to atteud it. But where there is
a will there is a way, especially if it is
a woman's will.
A few of our progressive women incestigated
the lyceum business nn<l
then plotted against their fathers and
insbands anc\ brothers, and before we
cnew it they had Heeured 200 members
at $:$ each,and promised to give in return
six entertainments during the
ivinter months, and each ticket was to
idmit two persons. This was only 25
ents for each and has proved to be
the best investment our people have
jvcr made for pleasure or instruction.
We have already had live of the series
kttd are yet to have Kenan, the Sibe inu
traveler. The ladies hav* made
t a success and eveu old man Dismal,
vbo always predicts disaster, is now
ittending the entertainments. The
erics begun with Thomas' concert
ind siuce then we have had Hnnnon,
he electrician and Bob Taylor and
Dr. lleadly.
Of course our Bob brought out ev ryl
>ody who could come and packed I
he house and he made us laugh and
ry and laugh again through our tears,
tie gave us the liddle and the bow,
but both were imaginary, for ho lias
not handled either in ten years. He
Hay.-- ue never professed to play th?vi lin,
but used to fiddle uix'l'sing fairly
well. He went through all the motions
ami his word painting of the
charms and power of music was close
ikin to I)r. Bagby's wonderful description
of "How Ruby Played the Piano."
Mr. Editor, I wish you would publish
that exquisite gem once more.
Last night wo had Dr. .Tames Headly
with us, and his beautiful thoughts
>n the sunny side of life will laiger
ivitli us long and do us good. They
reached the heart and tliehearthsflone.
His earnestness, his sincerity and
pathos affected us all, and I know ivill
prove a moral lesson to the young ueojle
they cannot forget. I looked iypon
he faces of some children and youth
,vho were in front of me and I (Amid
iee how eagerly and tenderly ithey
Irank it in. His tribute to \\m toilug,
humble army of minist(M* who
ire the pioneers of a christiai^civili:ation
in the great west and are bolting
the forts in the long settled easern
portion of this country, living
tud working on scanty salaries, but
lever complaining, was grand and
enutiful.
He impresses you as a great, biglearted,
Christian gentleman, who,
ike Aboi Ren Alulem, loves his fellow
iien. He says he is a Methodist
hiefly because he likes to ride on a
rain that will stop and back up to
rou and take you on again if you fall
>ff. His lecture is, of course, interipersed
freely with tittiug anecdotes
mil illustrations. Such a man does
rood as well as gives pleasure as he
(oes. His beautiful teachings elevate
md refine the community and bring
lie young people to a higher grade of
ntellectiial and emotional pleasure
ban they can find in a minstrel show.
I'he sunny side of life should be eultirated
just as we cultivate flowers to
make them lovely and attractive. Enjoy
the day. Enjoy every day. One
poet says;

Tlii-i world is very lovely. Oh. my (Jod,
I thank tln-e that I live."
Oh, these women! What would be*
I'niiie of us if they ?lid not pilot us in
the way that we should go? When
wouid the men of Cartersville have
planned and worked up a lyeeum burenu?
When would they have given
us a park where we ean rest under the
shade of the trees and see the children
play upon the grass and look with
never-eeasing \vonder upon the parsing
trains? When would the men of the
ehureh have raised the money to buy
a parsonage? Who keeps up the
prayer meetings that living do languish
and languishing'y do ive? Who
are the most faithful in the Sunday
school, and who nurse and eare for the
infant children and m v? r tire of their
loving work in training them up to
duty and good eomluet?
I was ruminating about our histori
cal neglect of the noble, faithful, longsuffering
mothers of groat men, who
have lived and died in all these centuries.
It ia the mother who makes the
.man. "JnBt as the twig is bent, the
tree is inclined," and it is the mother
who moulds the emotional character of
her children. While the father is in
his counting room or his workshop* or
at the plow, the mother is at homo
with them, and day by day shielding
them from harm nml guarding their
tender hearts from evil influences* Our
emotions are of far more importance
than our intellects, and these are
moulded at our mother's breast and
developed at her knees. Then, why
this historical neglect? Who knows
anything of the mothers of Clay, (Jal
houn or Webster, or any of the president,
or of any of our governors, or
distinguished statesment?
Perhaps one person in n thousand
knows that George Washington's
mother's maiden name was Mary Bell,
hut what else do they know about her.
The best biographical cyclopelias will
give you the paternnl ancestors of
great men from away back, but not a
lino on the maternal side. They do
not even mention that John Wesley,or
Wliitfiehl, had a mother. Appleton
and the Century do sometimes make
monger mention of who these great
men married. For instance, Appleton
Hays that "in June, 1808, Daniel
Webster married Miwl Grace Fletcher,
of Hopkinton, N. H." Only that and
nothing more.
This historical neglect of woman began
with Moses, who makes record of
our mother Eye and then skips a
thousand years to Lamech without
mentioning another woman. Then
skips another thousand down to Sarah,
the wife of Abraham. He tells us that
Cain took unto him a wife, but does
not name her, and that the wives of
Noah's sons went into the ark with
them, but we do not know who they
were. Later on in the centuries ho
tell us some pretty stories about Racliael
and Miriam, and still later we
read of Ruth and Naomi, and in the
New Testament about a dozen women
besi es Mary, the mother of Jesus, are
mentioned, and from that day down to
ihe reformation, woman has been under
the ban of historical neglect.
When we old people were young
there was a gifted writer by the name
of Headly, a relative of Dr. James
Headly. the lecturer, who wrote a
book called "The Sacred Mountains,"
and another book called "The Women
of the Bible," and he did his best to
make it an attractive volume, but the
sacred women were fewer than the
sacred mountains, and he had to put
it in very large type and have large
margins to make it a book at all.
But woman is fast coming to the
front in this land, and the lords of
creation are recogniziug her, with her
virtue, her importance as factors in
civilization, more than in any other
a-re or time or country. She stands
side by side with man and is really
anil trniy his bettor half. But the
chief purpose of this prosy letter is to
inspire the small towns of Georgia
and the south to organize lyceums and
secure as good lecturers as their limited
means will bring.
One hundred members at S3 each
will secure six lectures at S-r>0, and
make the cost only 25 cents for admission.
Of course outsiders will pay more.
They paid f>0 cents here and 75 cents for
reserved seats. We paid three of our
lecturers SI00 each; the others ?50 to
S75. There is no money in it and
should not he. Money is not the object,
but there is no loss. Our series
is all paid for and leaves us with a few
dollars in the treasury, and next winter
the membership will probably be
doubled.?Bill Arp in Atlanta Constitution.

Southern business men are wrought

The commercial organizations in

For several years congress has been
making an appropriation to assist the
railroads to make the fast schedules

The controversy was then postpone

The discussion arose over the res<

The main contests were first ov<
I the general policy of promoting thei
officers over others who were chara
; teiized as quite as deserving, thoup
| less fortunate in that they were d<
! prived of such active participation i
| the war, and, second, as to the reli
] tive merits of Sampson and Schley,
j Senators Gorman and Wellington,'
! Maryland, one a republican and tl
j other a democrat, united in a tierce a
! tack upon the navv department for f
] voring Sampson over Schley,
j Senators Lindsay, Pettigrew, Pe
kins and Money attacked the who
system of promotion us a "species
favoritism which was not warrant*
1 by the facts." The method of the a
ministration was defended l>y Messr
Ilale, Chandler and Lodge.
Senator Wellington was especial
zealous in his advocacy of the claii:
I of Admiral Schley and his present
tion of reasons why Admiral Samps*
\ should not be preferred over him.
j " fie made the statement that if tl
official papers were ordered they won
demonstrate beyond a possible que
tion the fact that?Schley and ?
Sampson fought the battle of San

Senator Lindsay found much in t
