THE ADVOCATE WE CHEERFULLY PUBLISH ALL CRISIS NEWSLETTERS FROM ALL SECTIONS VOLUME IX. Medical Society OF NEGRO PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS HOLDS INTERESTING SESSION. Laity Takes Part In the discussion on tuberculosis and teachers express themselves as being greatly benefitted by information derived from the meetings. Institute, July 2—The fourth annual session of the West Virginia Medical Society was called to order, Friday at the West Virginia Colored Institute, at 2 p. m., by the president Dr. B. F. White, of Montgomery. On account of the irregularity of train arrivals, the opening session was delayed beyond the scheduled time. The meetings were held in Hazlewood Assembly Hall, and each public session was woll attended. Much interest was manifested in the publicly discussed papers, even by the laity. Introduced by Dr. White, Pres. Prillerman welcled the disciples of Euscalapius in a brief but cordial speech. When he had taken his seat amid generous applause the chairman introduced Dr. H. F. Gamble who, in his characteristic way, fluently spoke as follows: "Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen. Once a year the members of the West Virginia Medical Society meet. The stock of our experiences, the methods and means of practice most useful to our patients, the health and hygiene of our respective communities, how best to eradicate contagious and infectious diseases, the best methods to reduce suffering and to prolong life, all these subjects are discussed much to our profit, and more to the public gain." "The more diversified our duties, and the more urgent and useful, the more difficult and arduous are the tasks we are called upon to perform under the most adverse conditions. Through the medical press the morals, health and life of the race are assaulted. The black man is adjudged guilty of the origin and spread of the most "three contagions, and our professional men and schools are condemned just when the Negro physician—as a class—is doing more in a scientific way, than ever before in the history of the world—carrying comfort and succor to the sick and suffering, shades and showers to the feverish and famished." "Not because of these difficulties but in spite of them, we have laid aside our work for a few days, and have come here to exchange views and I consult how best we may continue to improve our usefulness and meet the present day requirements with the greatest efficiency." "Here at this seat of culture and refinement, amid so many helpful signs of progress, we are not unmindful of the good done here for the many who have come raw, crude, ignorant and branded with the most abject signs of poverty, but under the refining and inspiring influence of the opportunities here afforded, have been sent back to the world rich in moral and mental powers to serve and enrich their fellows. We here beg of you to command of us whatever assistance you may desire, and we further pledge to do all within our power to help you spread the blessings of helpfulness. Your sympathy, your encouraging presence, and your words of welcome give us strength and hope and make it easier for us to go forward with the work before us." "There was a physician once upon earth whose followers were the starving whom he had fed; the blind whom He had restored to sight; the lame whom He had made to walk; the sick whom He had healed, and the dead whom He had raised to life. To try to serve as the great Physician is a blessed privilege. On behalf of the West Virginia Medical Society, it gives me pleasure to accept your words of welcome and your generous hospitality, and we most sincerely desire that our brief stay here may ever be to you a lasting and pleasant memory." At the morning session, from which the introductory excises were postponed until evening on account of the fewness of numbers, the strictly technical papers of especial interest to the doctors, were read and learnedly discussed. By special permission of Pres. White and the unanimous concurrence of the members, a number of the interested laity was admitted to the meetings. After the response of Dr. Gamble. CONTINUE ON PAGE FOUR. African Republic HAS SUFFERED MANY REBUFFS AND DISHEARTENMENTS IN THE PAST YEARS. Pressing need of the recognization of its finances apparent as foreign powers demand cancellation of loans or slices of land. Liberia, the Negro State of Africa, whose woes have been before the world prominently for the last year, and whose finances are to be bolstered up through a $1,000,000 loan from American, British French and German bankers, through the good offices of Secretary of State Knox, has been on the verge of bankruptcy for several years. Its expenditures have exceeded its revenues, and reform from within the State, so as to put it on a sound financial basis, has seemed impossible of attainment. President Taft, soon after his inauguration, sent a commission of investigation to the country, on the petition of the Liberians for a treaty, under which the United States, through a protectorate, might act the part of the big brother to the struggling republic. Nether the President nor Secretary Knox, according to advice from Washington, is in favor of an open and declared protectorate. But they hold that by the very terms of Liberia's existence the United States has a moral obligation toward the country, and cannot afford to see the struggling Negro republic gobbled up by Great Britain, France or some other European power. That Liberia is in pressing need of a reorganization of its finances, says the Chicago Record-Heard, is apparent when it is considered that the British Government has been pressing for some readjustment of the situation regarding the loan, now amounting to about $445,000, including interest, which was incurred first in 1871 from British financiers, and has since been readjusted. There is a further customs loan of $480,000, and an internal debt amounting to about $300,000. For a population of about 2,000,000 these would not seem to make it intractable. Grand total of indebtedness, but Liberia is not a progressive country. According to reports of recent years, it has great natural resources, if only they can be developed properly. How to bring about the development is a problem that is more perplexing to the statesmen who have to do with Liberia's affairs than how to care for the existing indebtedness. Liberia owes its existence to the National Colonization Society of America, which was organized in 1816 for the purpose of settling in Africa the free Negroes of the United States. The idea was an attractive one—that the Negroes, who had been victims of injustice through having been brought from Africa to the United States, should be given a chance to develop, free from the white man's greed or oppression, in their originally native land. After an unsuccessful attempt to establish the colony south of Sierra Leone, in 1820, a tract of land was acquired about Cape Mesurado, and in April, 1822, an experiment at small farming was begun, each man being allotted a 30-acre tract and given means of cultivation. Rebuffs and disheartements for several years only spurred on those workers for the success of the colony who had faith in their original purpose. But the American Negro, it developed, had no great longing to return to his fatherland; he preferred to work out his destiny in the country to which he had been brought by force and which he had learned practically all he and his kind ever knew of civilization. The colony grew slowly. In 1847 Liberia was declared an independent republic and was left to its own resources. The powers of the world recognized it as a state and the settlers proceeded to try the experiment of a self-governing body with a constitution modeled on that of the United States. In order that the white man might not obtain political influence in Liberia the constitution provides that all electors must be of Negro blood. They also must be owners of land. The official language of the state is English. The President, elected for four years, has a Cabinet composed of the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of the Interior, the Attorney General, the Postmaster General and the Secretary for War and Navy. That the war and navy portfolios can be combined safely is shown by the fact that the organized militia volunteers and police number only 700, while the THE ADVOCATE.

Liberia, of course, is a tropical country, being situated within 10 degrees of the equator. It is said white men cannot become acclimated there, but for those of Negro blood the climate is healthful, many of the natives living to old age and few of them suffering from disease. A number of coasting vessels are owned by Liberians, in which trade is carried on with the United States and Great Britain. Exports of the country for 1908, the latest year for which statistics are available, were $890,000, and imports for the same year were $1,169,000. Palm oil, palm kernels, coffee, rubber, coca and piassava fibre are the chief exports. The capital and principal town, Monrovia, is visited regularly by seven lines of European steamers. There are no railways in the country, but the River St. Paul is navigable for 25 miles from the sea by small boats. Under the Franco-Liberian agreements of 1892 and 1907 Liberia lost about 2,000 square miles of territory, which she could not effectively administer, making her present area about 40,000 square miles—nearly the size of Ohio or Kentucky. Only about 60,000 of the 2,000,000 population are American Negroes or their descendants, the remainder consisting of indigenous Negroes. The republic, it is said is not held in favor by the natives. The Negroes from America, observers say, have failed to make any considerable impression on the aboriginal inhabitants, whom they are expected to civilize, and the testimony of travelers is that the Liberians in general are lazy and quarrelsome. A recent writer on Liberia, Edgar Allen Forbes, defends the Liberians. He asserts that "the people of Monrovia look, dress and act very like the betterclass Negroes of Atlanta or Louisville. All the Americo-Liberians (and many civilized natives) are neatly but not flashily clothed, and most of the aborigines put on an extra cloth when they come to town. I doubt if there be anywhere in the United States a Negro community of the size of Monrovia where there is so little boisterousness, profanity or indecency." The writer charges that the unfavorable criticism of the country by Englishmen is not warranted by facts and that civilization is making headway in Liberia.

Prominent Preachers AND LAY WORKERS IN THE BAPTIST CAUSE GATHER IN ASSOCIATION. More Discretion In calling pastors and appointing deacons should be exercised by the churches, says moderator, Rev Harris, in his annual address. Lewisburg, July 30th—The Twenty-fifth annual session of the New River Baptist Association was held here Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week at the Mt. Tabor Baptist church. The occasion brought to this town some of the leading ministers of the state and even from Kentucky and Virginia. Among them were: Rev. I. V. Bryant, of Huntington; Rev. D. C. Hunter, Sylvia; Rev. Warner Brown, Montgomery; Rev. S. E. Williams, Mt. Carbon; Rev. A. D. Lewis, Hinton; Rev. P. A. Harris, Beckley; Rev. R. D. W. Meadows, Huntington; Rev. A. D. Lockett, Nuttallburg; Rev. D. C. Deans, McDonald; Rev. Robert J. Terrell, of Kentucky, and W. J. Hacket, of Virginia. The work of the National Baptist Convention was represented by Miss Sidney J. Davis, Mrs. Lula M. Jackson and Rev. A. S. Phillips; the Woman's State Convention by Mrs. P. H. Woods. The delegates began to arrive in large numbers on Tuesday and found Rev. Wm. Jackson and his committee waiting to assign them to comfortable homes. Prelude to the opening of the Association Rev. L. Smith preached a good sermon on Tuesday night in which the people were advised to steadfastness in their efforts to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. At 9:00 o'clock Wednesday morning the moderator, Rev. C. N. Harris, sounded the gavel and appointed Revs. J. H. Williams and L. Smith to conduct the opening devotionals. They opened the association in an impressive manner. The moderator in few appropriate words advised the delegates and messengers to exercise the spirit of brotherly love during the session. The calling, of the official role showed that all the officers were present. After appointing the usual working committee on finance, new bodies and the reading of letters, the moderator, called Rev. Matthew Robinson to the chair and delivered his annual address In which the various departments of denominational work were discussed. He pleaded for better organization in the prosecution of missionary and educational work and advised that the church use more discretion in calling pastors and appointing deacons. This report was referred to a committee of three for further consideration composed of Rev. J. J. Turner, Rev. D. C. Hunter, A. P. Straughter, who in their report, recommended that steps be taken to put into practice the recommendations found in the address. After some routine work the introductory sermon was preached by Rev. D. Stratton, who always has something to say that is profitable as well as interesting. In the afternoon session of the first day the various visitors were introduced who made brief remarks relative to their work: Rev. Dr. Robt. J. Terrell, Rev. I. V. Bryant, Mrs. Lula M. Jackson, Mrs. Sidney J. Davis, Rev. W. J. Hackett, Rev. A. D. Phillips, Mrs. P. H. Woods and Rev. J. Turner. Editor M. A. Malone made a strong plea for the Sentinel, a paper that is published in connection with the work at the Hill Top school. Rev. J. J. Turner spoke relative to the Sunday School Missionary and co-porter work of the West Virginia Baptist Sunday School convention. He introduced some excellent selections of books. Mrs. P. J. H. Woods spoke for the Women's Baptist State convention and distributed some neat booklets gotten up by its executive board. On Wednesday, Rev. J. H. Williams preached a good sermon on the subject, "Suppose Christ would come to this place now, what would he find?" Rev. Williams pictured the many scenes of wickedness that would be found by Christ, and on the other and he showed the many efforts that are being put forth in the right direction, such as preaching, work of charity that would be pleasing to the Master. The report of the committee on Home Missions is read by Rev. E. P. Jackson and brought about much discussion which was opened by A. P. Strahter and followed by Revs. W. J. Hackett, Robt. Daniel, Win. Jackson, S. E. Williams and R. D. W. Meadows. It was shown that the Home Missions Society has done more for the advancement of humanity than any other institution in this country. Rev. Hunter's sermon on "The Ideal Church" was fraught with much wholesome exhortation. Rev. J. J. Turner, superintendent of missions for the Sunday School Convention, delivered an address on "The Relation of the Sunday School and Church." After some favorable comments he was requested to send it to CONTINUE ON PAGE FOUR. A Lawyer, Summer A Dentist School AND A PHYSICIAN WEST VIRGINIA'S CROP THIS YEAR FROM HOWARD. The last makes a record equalled by 'only two others, one from this state, and all will practice at their homes.

C. A. B. Atty. Ralph W. White. Ralph W. White, of Huntington, attended Wilberforce College where he received the degree of A. B. He then went to Oberlin and received the degree of A. M. This spring he was graduated from the Law School of Howard with honor. Lawyer White is well known throughout the State as a politician. He is the editor of the Washington Forum, a paper of new birth but great strength. 1930 Dr. Robt. A. McDaniels Robt. A. McDaniels, also of Huntington, finished the public school of that city and came to Howard where, he pursued high studies and then entered The Medical College, where he spent four years, graduating this spring as Doctor of Medicine. Doctor McDaniels was looked upon by his classmates as a brainy man and at no time during the four years did he have to repeat a single subject. This is a credit that very few men have attained in recent years at Howard; only three have been so fortunate, two were W. Va., men, Doctors Hardgrove and McDaniels; and Doctor Miller, of Arkansas. 1911 Jas, B. Brown of Charleston, has spent several years at Howard, four in the Academic School and three in The College of Dental Surgery.

Soft music was played during the ceremony. The bride was attired in an empire gown made of cream-colored messaline satin and carried a bouquet of white carnations. The Groom wore full dress. The guests repaired to the dining room where an elegant supper was served. Fruit Cocktail. Fried Chicken Potato Puffs Salmon Salad Salmon Salad Vienna Rolls Stuffed Olives Vienna Rolls Stuffed Olives The brides cake was served with white carnations.

Brown, of Charleston; Mrs. Alice Hawkins, Hansford; Mr. Charles Lockett, Harewood; Rev. and Mrs. Warner, Brown, Mrs. Carrie Watson, Miss Wysor Watson and Dr. Orlando Hodge, of Montgomery. THE RESPONSIBLE PARTIES At variance with our hopes, but in line with our fears, the announcement of the victory of Jack Johnson at Reno, Monday, was the signal for the outbreak of a fierce, wide-spread hostility between the races which proves conclusively, that the fight should never have been "pulled off", and, what is of more significance, the animosity existing between the lower stratum of both races north and south. The better informed element of whites and blacks saw nothing in the contest bearing the faintest resemblance to a struggle for racial supremacy. They were too wise to be caught with the chaff that the supremacy of the races can be decided in any such arena, before any such judges as assembled in the Nevada city on July fourth. Net so with the masses. They exuded from their recky hides the insidious poison administered by the daily press. They had learned well the lesson hammered in their thick skulls, "to boost the betting game," that Jeffries was "the hope of the white race" Johnson, "the pride of the black." Each was wrought up to the highest pitch. The mine was set and exploded with direful results to the race of the black champion, as was to have been expected. The daily press is now loud in its condemnation of prize fighting upon which it places the responsibility for the scores of wounded and dead following the flash of Johnson's victory. But when "the shouting and the tumult dies" the thoughtful man will place the blame where it really belongs; not upon the fight promoters or the fighters, but upon the newspapers and their correspondents who magnified the affair out of all just proportions, and worked upon the prejudices of the masses in a most reprehensible manner. Johnson nor Jeffries, Rickard nor Gleason, the winning nor the losing better is one-tenth so guilty as the press which gave publicity to their daily doings.

JOSEPH HOLT GAINES. In 1904 when Mr. William Seymour Edwards contested the re-nomination of Mr. Jos, Holt Gaines for Congressman from this district The Advocate espoused the cause of Mr. Edwards. Our opposition at that time was based largely, if not wholly, upon Mr. Gaines' evident leaning toward "fly-whiteism." At that time there was before the election committee, of which Mr. Gaines was a prominent member, a contest between a colored Republican and a white Democrat for a seat in the lower house of congress. The evidence submitted during the hearing showed conclusively that ballot-box stuffing and intimidation were openly engaged in by the successful candidate, and even then the Negro had won on the face of the returns yet the house elections committee Mr. Gaines voting in the affirmative decided against the Negro. We concurred with those that held that Mr. Gaines was a brilliant man and destined to rank among the foremost in the national house of representatives, but it appeared to us as being eminently fitting to support another, having a higher regard for the decrees of the ballot and the rights of the majority. At that time, as now, we deplored the injection of the color question, but assuming the same rights as are accorded the German, the Jew and the frish to oppose those known or suspected to be hostile to them from a purely standpoint, we urged our readers to vote against Mr. Gaines. That was six years ago. What have these six years taught? Mr. Gaines has more than fulfilled the prediction of his friends that he would rise to prominence at the nation's capital. He is a recognized factor and he is ambitious. But, "Ambition is not a virtue." "Ambution is young lowliness' ladder. Whereunto the climber upward turns his face. But when he once attains the upmost round, He then unto the ladder turns his back. Scorning the base degrees by which he did ascend." That is Mr. Gaines' attitude toward his black constituents. If you doubt it, reader, ask his most loyal supporters among the Negro race. Ask the Negroes of the district, who, relying on his word to secure for them committee room janitorhips, went to Washington to be appointed. Ask the Negro candidate for postmaster at Mt. Carbon, who, though endorsed by every white man of prominence in his town, failed to get oven an acknowledgement of the receipt of his application and endorsements from Congressman Gaines. Ask any Negro you would think have occasion to write the Congressman, ask him whether or not Mr. Gaines answered promptly, if at all. There was much newspaper talk about his strenuous efforts to place Phil Waters as Assistant Register of the Treasury, but with all his reputed influence, and notwithstanding his intimacy with President Taft, Waters has not yet received the announcement of the appointment. Nor will he, if his whole dependence is placed in Mr. Gaines. The truth is, as we have stated before, that in this instance Mr. Gaines made considerable political capital out of the effort to land Waters which had been planned and was as near success, before he entered the lists, as it is today. Again, we grant that Mr. Gaines is a brilliant man, an influential congressman. But since his brilliance casts no radiance upon his black constituents' affairs; because his influence is not directed once in a while, as is that of other West Virginia congressmen, toward advancing the political status of the Negro; in-as much as he maintains an attitude of aloofness toward the colored man. The Advocate is constrained to take a stand against his renomination. A PRAYER The announcement which comes over the mountains from Harpers' Ferry of the condition of Dr. N. C. Brackett, for many years president and now treasurer of Storer College, is far from reassuring and fills one with fear lest the sand of life with soon run out and he be called from a long, unselfish life of endeavor for the Negro uplift. It is no exaggeration to say that no other man, living or dead, has done so much as Dr. Brackett to lift the load of ignorance from the shoulders of the black man of the Shenandoah valley. Before the clouds of the civil war had cleared away; almost simultaneously with the disbandment of the shattered hosts of the Confederacy, Dr. Brackett and his faithful wife, in continuation of his line of work with the Christian Commission with Sheridan's army, started a string of schools for the education of the freedmen. In 1867, he organized Storer college, which alone during twenty-five years was the only institution within the state offering to the Negro branches higher than those in the public schools. Who can estimate the influence exerted during these years by Dr. Brackett in the forming of lives and the moulding of the characters of the hundreds of young Negro men and young Negro women who came under his care? Who can compute the worth of the lives inspired to useful endeavor by his teachings? Whoever they are, and wherever they are, with one accord, as the Mostem answers the call to prayer, they will turn their faces toward Harpers' Ferry and pray: "Rest him, O Father, thou didst send him forth With great and gracious messages of love; But Thy ambassador is weary now, Worn with the weight of his high embassy. Now care for him as thou has cared for us In sending him; and cause him to lie down In Thy fresh pastures, by the streams of peace. Let Thy left hand be now beneath his head. And Thine upholding right encircle him. And underneath the everlasting arms Be felt in full suport. So let him rest. Hushed like a child, without one care; And so give Thy beloved sleep tonight. Rest him, dear Master! He hath poured for us The wine of joy, and we have been refreshed. Now fill his chalice, give him sweet new draughts Of life and love, with Thine own hand; be Thou His ministrant tonight; draw very near In all Thy tenderness and all Thy power. O. speak to him! Thou knowest how to speak A word in season to the weary ones. And he is weary now. Thou lovest him— Let Thy disciple lean upon Thy breast, And, leaning, gain new strength to "rise and shine." Rest him. O loving Spirit! Let Thy calm Fall on his soul tonight. O holy Dove. Spread Thy bright wing above him, let him rest Beneath its shadow; let him know afresh The infinite truth and might of Thy dear name— "Our Comforter!" As gentlest touch will stay The strongest vibration of jarring chord. So hay Thy hand upon his heart, and still Each overstraining throb, each pulsing pain. Then in the stillness, breath upon the strings. And let Thy holy music overflow. With soothing power, his listening, restless soul." Just because Johnson proved to be a better fighting machine than Jeffries it does not follow that any member of either race should throw conventions fits. Racial superiority is not decided by tests of physical skill and endurance. After all, we suspect that Ballinger is going to find some reason for quitting, if he has not found it already, despite his insistence that he purposes to stand by the Administration to the end. "There is no longer any freedom of conscience in the Republican party," says Senator Doliver. It is not the Senator's fault that consciences are not on the free list, we take it, however. An Indiana man is suing his wife for divorce on the ground that she will not talk to him. The cases of martial infidelity recorded so far arise from the woman's talking too much. Pugilism is a brutal sport, but the majority of its detractors would welcome either the loser's or winner's end of the Reno purse, if it could be had without the accompanying risk. New York has set an example of the greatest value to the country. Its committee on the world's fair in 1913 has voted by twenty-eight to eleven against any such project. Judge Grosseup's idea seems to be that, while monopoly is a swine and must remain so, it may be trained not to feed with all four feet in the trough. The Norfolk Landmark discusses in a recent issue, "How to eat a club sandwich." The most important thing, of course, is how to get the sandwich. Mr. Gaynor's new degree of doctor of laws is exceedingly appropriate. He has put new life into a good number of sick and rundown laws. It appears that Senator Lorrimer's friends bought the senatorial seat and presented it to him as a token of their esteem. "Now they say that cats spread disease," notes the Atlanta Constitution. Also scandal and gossip. It might look to the uninitiated as if Mr. Bryan wanted to do all the kicking and be the umpire too. Medical CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. Dr. E. Johnson of Huntington, read a paper entitled "Typhoid Fever, Diagnoses and Treatment." This paper called forth friendly but spirited criticism from his associate medics, led by Dr. Gamble. The amount of remedial wisdom displayed by the physicians in these and subsequent discussions, opened the eyes of the teachers to the amount of erudition the visiting doctors possessed. The Paper by Dr. Hopkins, of St. Albans, was discussed in a closed session. The second session was called to order by the chairman Wednesday morning. Drs. C. H. Gray and R. L. Jones, of Charleston, were among the new arrivals. Much more interest was manifested in the deliberations of the meetings than on the previous day. The program of the morning was as follows: "Common Diseases of the Eye, Diagnosis, and Treatment." Dr. Holley, of Bramwell; "New Treatment of Hemorrhoids, Dr. C. C. Barnett, of Huntington; Immunity and Infections, Dr. R. L. Jones, Charleston; Endometritis, Diagnosis and Treatment, Dr W. C. Lawrence, Montgomery; Backache in Women, causes and Treatment, Dr C. W. Holley, of Hinton. The papers that excited the most favorable comment were those by Drs. R. L. Jones and W. A. Holley. These were so well suited for general enlightenment and absorption, that by special request of the assembled teachers, their reading was repeated at the evening session. The only new additions to the program of the night session, was a paper on Tuberculosis prepared by Dr. Whipper and read by S. H. Guss. This paper especially appealed to the teachers, and when the president offered the freedom of comment on the paper to the laity, D. Webster Davis clearly expressed the merits of the paper as applied to the teacher's profession. During an intermission, Miss Maud Robinson, by request, sang a pleasing ballad entitled "A Whispered Vow." At this juncture the result of the election of officers held at previous meeting, and the selection of the next place of meeting were announced as follows. Dr. E. Johnson, Huntington, president; Dr. W. A. Holly, Bramwell, vice-president; Dr. R. L. Jones, Charleston, Sec. and Treasurer. At the invitation of Dr. Holley, who brought greetings from the profession and the citizens of Bluefield, the Society unanimously voted to hold the next session there the first week in June, 1911. The following resolutions from the teachers of the Summer School were read, and adopted: Whereas, The West Virginia State Medical Society has been kind enough to admit us, the Teachers of the State THE ADVOCATE Summer School, to its discussions from which we have been enabled to gain much information, and a great deal of knowledge, that may be of value to us in our work, enabling us to give definite and positive instruction to both pupils and community at large in the preservation of health and the prevention of diseases; RSesolved, That we thank the Society for its kindness and thoughtful consideration (us, and I invite N to meet with us in our Summer School in 1911. The following resolutions were adopted by the Society: Whereas, President Prillerman of the West Virginia Colored Institute, and C. E. Mitchell, Business Manager, have done all in their power to render the visit of the Society pleasant and hospitable, and. Whereas, The Society was made to feel perfectly at home by the cordial welcome and thoughtful arrangements for our pleasure and comfort. Be it resolved, That the Society thus express its appreciation to the worthy President and efficient Business Manager for their kindness and thoughtful consideration. Be it further resolved, That these sentiments be made a part of our permanent records. President Prillerman and business manager Mitchel had made the necessary preparations for a reception to the doctors and teachers in North Hall. There, after an hour of social intercourse, ices were served. The Medical Society closed its session with $25.00 in the treasury after all expenses had been liquidated, showing a successful and profitable year.

That an American protectorate will result from the present situation is prophesied in Europe, where the eyes of statesmen are fixed greedily upon the black republic. Prominent the press for publication. The foreign report brought before the body the condition of the people across the briny deep and advised the churches to co-operate with Rev. L. G. Jordan in trying to send them the gospel. The report was discussed by Rev. A. S. Phillips and Mrs. Sidney J. Davis. On Thursday evening Rev. Meadows preached a good sermon on the "Lord's Prayer", taking for his subject, "The Lord's Prayer applied to World Wide Missions." The report on obituary which was read bp Rev. D. A. Twyman was further eulogized by Revs. W. J. Hackett, D. Stratton, E. P. Howard, P. A. Harris, S. E. Williams and Chas. Campbell. Rev. W. A. Smith's sermon which was delivered on Friday morning, was the scene of a great spiritual feast. By special request, Rev. Bryant preached in the afternoon. The closing sermon was preached by Rev. E. P. Jackson on the subject, "The Source of Evil." This sermon was followed by an address on the National Training School by Miss Lula M. Jackson and an address on education by Prof. J. M. Arter, president of the Hill Top School. The following were elected as officers; Moderator, Rev. C. N. Harris, of Fayetteville; vice moderator, Rev. Wm Jackson, Lewisburg; recording secretary, Rev. R. S. Gordon, Mt. Hope; Treasurer, Rev. D. C. Deans, McDonald; corresponding secretary, Rev J. J. Turner, Mt. Carbon; Rev. S. E Williams was chosen as delegate to the National Baptist Convention. Fifty-six churches were represented and $35.00 was sent up for all purposes. Deleware Tour OF THE WASHINGTON PARTY ENDS WITH A BIG BAN-QUET AT WILMINGTON. (Franklin F. Johnson.) (Franklin F.

Washington's historic tour of the State of Delaware was a march of triumph. The day was ideal for such an enterprise, and from far and near a multitude of people poured into Wilmington and vincinity to extend a hearty welcome to the world's most noted apostle of industrial education and evangel of harmony between the races that must live together on American soil. The party that was to accompany Dr. Washington across the State reached Wilmington early this morning, and was met at the station by a committee representing the Business Men's League of Wilmington, at whose invitation the distinguished visitors came. The details were in the hands of Dr. Samuel G. Elbert, president of the local League and a vice-president of the National Negro Business League. [The invited guests, representing the professional and business life of the race from many points, was made up as follows: From Washington, D. C.—Judge Robert H. Terrell, Auditor Ralph W. Taylor, Dr. John R. Francis and wife, Prof. George William Cook, of Howard University; Prof. Thomas Jesse Jones, expert statistician of the News Bureau; Oliver Handolph, editor of the Washington American; W. Sidney Pittman, Whitfield McKinley, R. W. Thompson, W. Calvin Chase, Jr. Philadelphia—T. Thomas Fortune, associate editor of the Philadelphia Tribune; A. P. Caldwell, editor of the Courant; W. H.

Courtney and Dr. Robert E. Park. New York, Fred R. Moore, James G. Thomas, and George W. Hains. Hampston Institute, Va.—Major R. R. Moton and W. T. B. Williams. The first point of the day's itinerary was Newcastle, a thriving town not far from Wilmington, where there is a Negro population of about 500. The party journeyed to Newcastle in five 7-passenger, touring cars of the latest pattern, and the train made a most imposing appearance as it proceeded along the well-kept macadamized roadways. These elegant machines were generously donated by a coterie of Wilmington's enterprising white business men, comprising Col. T. Cleman DuPont, president of the Dupont Powder Company; Col. E. G. Buckner, president of the International Smokeless. Powder and Chemical Company; Mr. Lamotte Dupont, of the Dupont Powder Company; Mr. Brown, manager of the Studdaker Automobile Company; and Mr. O'Teeney, manager of the Delaware Automobile Company. The meeting was held in the Court House Square, and Dr. Washington, in excellent voice, delivered his address to an audience of six hundred, one third of which were white. Rev. John Rider, pastor of the Union M. E. Church, presided, and the address of welcome was delivered by Hon. Evan G. Boyd, mayor of the city, who expressed himself as greatly pleased that Dr. Washington had come to this community to offer some words of cheer and to make suggestions that would lead to a better understanding between the black and white races. Dr. Washington spoke for nearly an hour, and his felicitous address was frequently punctuated with enthusiastic applause. Major Moton sang the popular jubilee melody, "We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder, the audience joining in and making the welkin ring "Twas better than a sermon," was the remark heard from many lips as the party whirled away in their antos for Newark. In Newark's Opera House. At Newark Dr. Washington spoke in the spacious opera house, and was greeted by a larger crowd than at Newcastle, nearly 1,000 persons being present.

Harter, president of Delaware College, delivered an address of welcome, and Major Moton was prevailed upon to again sing some plantation melodies. The Big Meeting at Wilmington. The big meeting of the day was scheduled for Wilmington at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Long before the doors were opened, a long line had formed on Market street, and at the hour appointed the Grand Opera House was packed from pit to dome with a mass of humanity, all eager to hear the founder of magic Tuskegee Institute. The fashion boxes, parquet and galleries were filled and standing room was at a premium. In the body of the house and on the platform were dozens of Wilmington's most prominent bankers, public officials and men of every line of commercial and professional activity. The handsome gowns of the ladies, and the lavish decorations on the stage and proscenium combined to from a picture of rare beauty and impressiveness. The address of welcome was delivered by Hon. James L. Manning, president of the City Council, in the absence of Mayor J. Harvey Sprunce, who was kept away by illness. He paid a tribute to the worth of Dr. Washington as a man and citizen and wished him God speed in the great work he is doing for the uplift of all the people. A notable feature of the occasion was the introductory remarks of Hon. Simeon S. Pennewil, Governor of the State. In clear, ringing tones, full of eloquence, carnestness and power, the Governor briefly reviewed the life of a man who had come up from the depths and having won his way to the front by sheer force of his ability, courage, fixed determination and unflagging industry, he is now holding a loft the torch and pointing the way for his less fortunate brethren. He described the doctor as a powerful force for the realization of the highest ideals in our modern civilization. His hearty note of approval of Dr. Washington caused the building to resound with cheers. The Governor certainly occupies a warm place in the hearts of his colored fellow-citizens. Dr. Washington's address was one of the happiest efforts of his life. He was in an unusually good humor, and so adroity sandwiched his irresistible bits of humor that he kept the audience constantly alternating between the grave and the gay, touching here the philosophical side of a great problem and then getting them convulsed with laughter over a story of the homely doings of the colored brother, following it up, however, with an application that brought down the house. In the course of his remarks, he paid a timely and merited tribute to that brilliant editor and race champion, T. Thomas Fortune, which was met by a round of applause. The invocation was pronounced by Rev. Hubert W. Wells, and Mr. Harry T. Burleigh, the eminent baritone, who come down from New York especially for this occasion, rendered during the afternoon Rudyard Kipling's "The Recessional" accompanied on the piano by Mr. Leon S. Adger, of Philadelphia; the solo, "The Corn Song," and a number of plantation melodies, all of which were warmly received. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. Alexander Allison, Jr., and with the orchestra playing a round of national airs, the best pleased audience that has assembled in Wilmington in a long time; fled out of the house, complimenting Dr. Washington as they went and commenting on the salient points touched upon in his thoughtful and helpful address. It was a great day for both races in the State of Delaware, and all agree that it is a decided entering wedge toward the cementing of friendlier relations between the white and black races of the commonwealth made famous by the Bayards, the Saulsburys and George Gray. Dr. Elbert and his faithful and capable assistants are to be congratulated upon the success that has so far attended the efforts to entertain the best brain and achievement of the race in the land.

Y., when his life was wonderfully saved. "I was in a dreadful condition," he writes, "my skin was almost yellow; eyes sunk; tongue coated; emaciated from losing 40 pounds, growing weaker daily. Virulent liver trouble pulling me down to death in spite of doctors. Then that matchless medicine — Electric Bitters — cured me. I regained the 40 pounds lost and now am well and strong." For all stomach, liver and kidney troubles they're supreme. 50c. at all druggists. 7-7-4t. 2 p. m.

Thomas, Field Agent of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the M. E. church, spent the Fourth here, with his family. He has recently made an extensive tour of the south and southwest and says that the governor of one of the Mexican states offers any of our people 10 acres of land free (without the proverbial mule) and every protection and right vouchsafed by the Mexican law. He also says that if the colored people emigrate there in sufficient numbers representation will be given in the Mexican congress. Miss Mary C. Peck and Mr. William T. Griggs, teachers in the city schools were the principals in a fashionable wedding Wednesday evening. The ceremony was performed by Dr. I. L. Thomas, assisted by Rev. W. H. Gaines. Miss Amelia R.

Gilmer, of the Philippine Scouts, has been honorably discharged from the army establishment. The following excerpt from Special Orders, No. 124, issued by the War Department, under date of May 27, tells the story in brief: "By direction of the President, First Lieutenant David J. Gilmer, Philippine Scouts, having been found professionally disqualified for promotion to the grade of captain by an examining board, and his discharge from the service having been recommended by said Board and by the commanding general, Philippines Division, is honorably discharged from the service, to take effect May 29, 1910". This is a rather queer ending of a case that has attracted no small degree of attention in recent months, both at the hands of the War Department and the public at large. Some time ago, it will be recalled, Lieut. Gilmer was accused of some infraction of the military law. Having been found guilty by a court-martial, he was recommended for dismissal from the army. An appeal to the Secretary of War resulted in a mitigation of his sentence to a reduction of twenty-five numbers in his rank. The case was then carried to President Taft, who after carefully reviewing it, decided that a reduction of fifteen numbers was sufficient punishment for the offense alleged. It is an open secret that the leniency of the President resulted from the friendly activities of Dr. Booker T. Washington, Judge H. Terrell, John C. Daney and others, who pointed out Lieut. Gilmer's excellent record as a soldier and urged that he be given a chance to redeem himself from any possible error of judgment that he may have inadvertently committed. The particulars in this latest phase of the situation, culminating in the honorable discharge of Lieut. Gilmer, are not available at this time. The whole truth will doubtless come out upon his return to "The States." Lieut. Gilmer entered the Third North Carolina Volunteers at the beginning of the Spanish-American War. Upon being mustered out at the close of the hostilities, he served for a period as a clerk in the office of the Recorder of Deeds at Washington, and finally re-centered the army as a second lieutenant of the Philippine Scouts, rising later to the first lieutenancy. He was regarded as a capable officer, and his record prior to the present difficulty, was without a flaw. Jeffries at Oakland Shows His Humiliation Oakland, Cal., July 6. - Jeffries arrived in Oakland this morning, accompanied by his wife and brother and a number of intimate friends. He went to a hotel and will leave for Los Angeles tomorrow afternoon to go to his ranch. His face is still marred. He walked with his head low, indicating a feeling of sadness. GERMAN CUSTOMS LAW. It May Not Always Be Expensive, but It Does Take Time. "If you travel in Germany you want to be careful to declare all durable goods at the border, even down to a toothpick," said a former attache. "It may not save you much money, but it will save you vexatious delays. "With a friend I came over from St. Petersburg by way of Stockholm to Kiel on our way to Berlin. I had bought in Russia half a dozen gun metal holders for tea glasses, not worth over 15 cents apiece, and I had packed them in a Russian helmet. The latter had a spike on top of it. "The customs officer at Kiel asked whether I had anything durable, and as the holders were of insignificant value I said 'No.' "That did not satisfy him. He thrust his hand down into the bag roughly, and the first thing he came into contact with was the spike of that helmet. He jumped back, with a German outh, and then he reached down more cautiously, grabbed the spike and pulled the helmet up, the contents dropping out. "Aha! So! he exclaimed in triumph, transfixing me with a look "Then he charged me with evading the law and with smuggling. He left us under guard, and there we stayed while we saw our train pull out. Finally the Herr Oberinspektor, in brilliant uniform and with sword clanking, came along back with him. He pompously inquired who we were. We explained, 'I believe you, gentlemen,' he replied after some questioning and considerable deliberation, 'but you are amenable to the law and will have to pay the duty and a fine equal to the amount of duty.' Then he hurried away to get the articles appraised. "We felt we had got into a mixup. We counted over the German money we had between us, and it amounted to less than $3. We had nothing besides but drafts on Berlin, and if the duty and fine amounted to much we were in for all sorts of trouble. "Finally the Herr Oberlinspektor came back with a bundle of papers in his hands. He informed us that we could be liberated upon the payment of 60 pfennig, which is about 15 cents. For this we had lost three hours."—New York Sun. COSTLY ACCIDENTS. A Lost Tin, Mine, and a Lead Mine's Bottomless Pit. Immense plans which seemed about to be completed, but have been brought to disastrous failure at the last moment, are frequent enough in the history of industry. London Answers tells the story of a tin mine in England which might have yielded a fortune but for a storm. On the sixth day, just as an enormous mass of rich ore was being tapped, a gale came up, a ship was blown upon the wall, which went to pieces at once, and the sea drove the heavy stones in upon the thin roof of the mine. In a moment the workings were hopelessly flooded and the owner was a ruined man. A story equally tragic is told of the Speedwell lead mine in Derbyshire. Believing that a rich vein of ore existed in a nearby hill, the owner risked his entire capital to bore a tunnel 3,000 feet long into the heart of the mountain. Suddenly the miners broke through a wall of rock into a vast hill den cavern, through which flowed a stream of water. They began, to dump rock into the stream, and after 10,000 tons a bridge began to rise out of the darkness, and then their farther progress was stopped. Month after month they toiled, and at last, after 40,000 tons in all had been cast into the cavern, they gave it up. That narrow rift is known to this day as the Bottomless Pit. The Elements. Of the seventy-one elementary substances of earthly matter enumerated by chemists thirty-two are known certainly to exist in the sun's atmosphere, ten or fifteen more can probably be traced there, and there are only six or eight as to which in the present state of our knowledge there is negative evidence that they are not present there. The elements whose presence is proved comprise many of those which are the most common in the composition of the earth, and the fact is pretty firmly established that matter is the same throughout all space, from the minutest atom to the most distant star—New York American.

THE INDEPENDENT 130 FULTON STREET NEW YORK The Parade on the Fourth Would Have Been Best Ever The Parade on the Fourth Would Have Been Best Ever Many expressions of regret are still heard over the bad weather of the Fourth which spoiled the elaborate preparations made by the school children and their friends for a rational and spectacular celebration of the nation's birthday. Some of the floats which were to have been in the parade sped over the town and the many people gathered on the streets had a chance to see the best of the pageants which would have composed the big parade. The float containing the representation of the original turteen states was good. Each one of the thirteen young ladies represented a state and were dressed to suit each colony. Over 2,000 people were to have taken part in the event and if the rain had not interfered the largest parade in the history of the city would have traversed the streets. Young ladies in bright colored dresses walked the streets all morning from the schools in the northern section of the city en route to Mercer school where the parade was to be massed before starting. At a few minutes before noon it was seen that it would be impossible to start the parade, so that feature of the day was called off. In the afternoon the youngsters gathered at the different schools and many games were played. On account of the bad weather the baseball game between teams from the Union and the Lincoln schools was called off, but the game will be played at a later date and the prizes will be given. Balloons were sent up at different schools and altogether a good time was enjoyed by all. The management wishes to thank Dr. V. T. Churchman and Mrs. George Lounsbery for their valuable services rendered.

BEGINS SAH SAH Dry Goods and Financial Speci Will Come to General Secretary Florain of the local Y. M. C. A. has just returned from Wheeling where he has been studying the method used in raising the $50,000 debt fund for the Y. M. C. A., and where he completed arrangements with Financial Secretary H. J. Hill to conduct the Charleston campaign. "I have been opposed to the old-time whirlwind canvass from the start," said Secretary Florian, in an interview with a Mail reporter this morning. "The usual 30-day whirlwind canvass is always productive of enthusiasm which results in the accumulation of a lot of worthless subscriptions which are secure by indirect canvassers. Many people will subscribe to encourage the boys who are out after the money, and feel no real, binding obligation after the canvass is over. The whirlwind method was originated by Mr. Ward, and I believe in many ways, has outlived its usefulness. I do not mean to condemn any methods which are productive of great good but I feel sure that a different method must be used in the raising of this $10,000 fund. We cannot make another appeal for funds to finish and furnish the Y. M. C. A. building after this canvass has been made. This must be the final appeal and it must be conducted along lines which will result in securing only bona fide subscriptions which will either be paid in cash or be given in the same spirit that any other legal obligation would be made and met. There must be no question about our laying secured enough money to fully complete and furnish our building I have been in Wheeling watching the methods used by Mr. Hill in that campaign and I have had a splendid opportunity to investigate every --- $ 4.00 Dresses, only .....$2.50 $ 5.00 & $ 6.00 Dresses, only ..$3.50 $ 7.00 & $ 8.00 Dresses, only ..$1.50 $12.00 & $15.00 Dresses, only ..$7.50 These are rare bargains and will go quickly at these prices.

The board of directors of our association are aware that it is going to mean a great effort to raise this fund of $40,000 and they are anxious to employ the best method obtainable and I feel confident that Mr. Hill's plan is safest and best for us. Judge G. W. Atkinson, our president, who is also chairman of the state executive committee, has had a great deal to do with getting Mr. Hill's services for the Charleston campaign and I feel sure that the citizens of Charleston will respond with the same cheerfulness and liberality that the people of Wheeling did in their recent campaign. I see no reason in the world why the money should not be raised and our building completed and ready to dedicate on Thanksgiving Day." Mr. Florain stated that a number of business men had pledged their services to the association and that a number had expressed their willingness to contribute of their means when the proper time came. The Charleston association has done a splendid work during the past year and a half, and there is no question but what the association could accomplish a great deal more if the building were completed and ready for use. SENATOR BAILEY TO SPEAK Codar Point, O., July 6.—A large attendance of distinguished lawyers marked the opening here today of the thirty-first annual meeting of the Ohio State Bar association. Today was devoted chiefly to the reception of the visitors and the organization of the convention, with the appointment of the usual committees and the annual reports of the various officers. Friday will be the big day of the convention, when the annual address before the association will be delivered by Joseph W. Barley, United States senator from Texas. --- ABOUT HALF PRICE. CORSETS phase of the movement, because of my personal acquaintance with the general secretary, Mr. Lynch. "I followed Mr. Ward through the whirlwind campaign in Baltimore and thus have had the opportunity to compare the work of these two men. I was most agreeably surprised and impressed with Mr. Hill's method. While the clock and committee plan are conspicuous in this campaign, the organization and methods are decidedly original with Mr. Hill. He is a specialist in this line and has, after long experience and careful observation worked out a system, which to) my mind, is superior to all others that have been used in raising money for the associations. I learned that in the city of Akron, Ohio, Mr. Hill raised an enormous debt fund by his short term plan which resulted in the payment of nearly every subscription made. At Pittsburgh he raised over $350,000, and Mr. Lyman, Pierce, the general secretary, states that in all of his association experience he has never found a man equal to Mr. Hill in this line of work. The Wheeling board of directors selected Mr. Hill in preference to several other strong financial men who are connected with the international committee. The situation in Wheeling was decidedly uncertain and the board felt that it would take the very best methods as well as the best man, to secure the $50,000 fund. Secretary Lynch told me Saturday that Mr. Hill's short term method was the most satisfactory that he had ever observed. The liquidating of the debt hanging over the N. M. C. A. in Wheeling was no small undertaking, and that the canvass terminated so successfully, is evidence enough of the ability of SUMMER SUITS For Women and Misses—A Few Ever Popular.

Other prominent Liberal leaders are expected to join the party on route. Sir Wilfrid is scheduled to visit many places during his two months' absence from the capital and the extreme limit of the tour will be reached late in August, when a visit will be paid to Prince Rupert, the new Pacific coast terminal city of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway.

Schewee nor his attorney denied selling Malt Mead, they admitted that, but their main point was that there was not enough per centu of alcohol in the drink to intoxicate a man. In all eight persons were on the witness stand for the State. Six out of the eight swore that the Mead that they had obtained from Schewee did not have any effect upon them as beer would have had. The other two, who swore that the drink did have an effect upon them were men who lately were not intimately acquainted with the drink, also one of them was the man who swore out the warrant. But the court held to this opinion, the law reads that no man without being can engage or solicit orders for beverage, porter, ale, whiskey, or drinks of like nature. The court held to the opinion that the Malt Mead was a drink that came under this provision of the law, that it was a drink of "the like nature," and on that opinion held him to the grand jury. This case attracted much attention during its progress in court as its bearing on the city will be one of the greatest importance, practically stopping all sales of any drink that is on the order of beer or Malt Mead. County Officials of Greenbrier at Odds For the purpose of having a conference with the sheriff of the county of Greenbrier and with the members of the county court of the same county. Tax Commissioner Townsend has gone to Lewisburg where he will remain several days. It is said that there has been bad blood between the sheriff and the court for some time and that an ill feeling has been engendered because of the difference of opinion that exists between the two. No indication has been offered, however, that there is anything crooked in the operation of the officers of the county. THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1910 Interesting Old Time Stories of Bird and Beast. THE HORSE AND THE CAMEL An Arabian Folklore Tale Tells Why Every Steed Shudders on a First Meeting With a Camel—Solomon and the Neck of the Vulture. In the beginning the birds had no feathers, but at last word was brought that the Great Spirit had their clothes ready if they would send some one for them. As the distance was long, the turkey buzzard was selected on account of his endurance, and in recognition of the service he was to have first choice of apparel, the one condition being that he could try no suit on the second time. Can you guess the result? For one trilining objection or another he let all the fine feathers go by until, to his horrified astonishment, there was nothing left but the poor, commonplace suit that he wears today. We talk conceitedly of the airship as though a brand new invention of the modern brain when thousands of years ago King Solomon had a most satisfactory one, a magic carpet upon which he frequently took a spin through space. Only one fault could be found with this carpet touring car. It had no covering, and too often the sun shone uncomfortably upon the royal head. Now, the wisdom of Solomon included a rare linguistic accomplishment. The king spoke the language of birds. So one day when out riding on his carpet, he called upon some passing vultures to hold their wings over him by way of awning. But they were going north, the king toward the south, and to his righteous indignation the birds insolently refused. "Cursed be ye, O vultures!" he cried in wrath. "And because you will not obey the commands of your lord who rules over the whole world the feathers of your necks shall fall off and the heat of the sun and the coldness of winter and the keenness of the wind and the beating of the rain shall fall upon your rebellious necks, which shall not be protected with feathers like the necks of other birds, and, whereas you have hitherto fared, delicately, henceforward you shall eat carrion and your race shall be impure until the end of the world." According to Arab folklore, one day Allah called the south wind to him, condensed it, took a handful, blew upon it the breath of life and thus created a horse. But the steed at once began to find fault. His neck, he complained, was too short to reach the grass, his back had nothing to steady a saddle, his hoofs were so sharp that they would surely sink into the sand. Instead of reproving his ingratitude in words Allah then created the camel as an object lesson of reproach. The horse shuddered at the sight of what he wanted to become, and this is the reason that every horse starts when first meeting his caricature. Perhaps you have not had the opportunity of gazing dentist-wise into the mouth of a coyote and so have never wondered why its back teeth looked as though they were broken off and forced down into the gums, but you must surely have come across many an empty locust skin. To the south of the Zuni lands in New Mexico a coyote once started out hunting, but got no farther than the foot of a certain old pine tree, so fascinated did he become in a locust who sat playing a flute and singing in one of its branches. In fact, such was the animal's enthusiasm that he insisted upon taking a lesson on the spot. His voice proved hoarse and growly, but he persevered until he learned the words of the locust song and turned homeward, proudly repeating them, when by bad luck he fell into a gopher's hole, said other words under his breath and forgot his lines. Back to the pine tree he trotted, again imposed upon the locust's good nature, once more sallied forth in triumph. But this time as he practiced aloud he frightened a flock of pigeons that flew out with such a noise as completely to muddle his brain, and there was nothing left for him but another appeal to the wormout locust. Now, even a music teacher will turn, and the locust, seeing him coming from afar and having heard that coyotes ate insects, decided to rid himself of this tiresome fellow. No sooner thought than done. In a flash he swelled up, split his skin and crawled out. Finding at hand a clear, light colored bit of quartz, he put it in the empty skin, mucledged it up the back with pitch and twerf to another tree. The trick worked to a charm. The coyote called out to the supposed locust grain and again without receiving a reply, became enraged, snatched the effigy out of the tree and bit so hard on the stone that he ran yelping away. The water of a creek partly soothed his pain, but ever since the mouth of a coyote has shown the effect of that tragic bite, and "whenever a locust ventures out on a summer morning to sing a song it is his custom to protect himself from the consequences of attracting too much attention by skinning himself and leaving his counterpart in the tree"—May C. Ringwalt in Los Angeles Times. Used to It. "What do you do when your husband stays out late at night?" "Oh. I just go to sleep. I've been married more than a year, you know." —Detroit Free Press. Mr. G. H. Crawford left yesterday for Cincinnati. DYNAMITE AND ICE. A Strenuous Day In the Arctic With Peary on the Roosevelt. I think that node of the members of the Peary expedition will ever forget the 30th of August. The Roosevelt was kicked about the floes as if she had been a football. The game began about 4 o'clock in the morning. I was in my cabin trying to get a little sleep with my clothes on, for I had not dared to remove them for a week. My rest was cut short by a shock so violent that before I realized that anything had happened I found myself on deck a deck that inclined to starboard some 12 to 15 degrees. I ran, or, rather, climbed, the deck to the port side and saw what had happened. A big floor rushing past with the current had picked up the grounded berg to which we were attached by the hawkers and dashed it against the Roosevelt and clear along her port side as if that thousand ton berg had been a toy. The berg brought up against another one just aft of us, and the Roosevelt slipped from between the two like a greased pig. As soon as the pressure was relaxed and the ship regained an even keel we discovered that the cable which had been attached to the floe berg at the stern had become entangled with the propeller. It was a time for lightning thought and action, but by attaching a heavier cable to the parted one and taking a hitch around the steam capstan we finally disentangled it. This excitement was no sooner over than a great berg that was passing near us split in two of its own accord, a cube of some twenty-five or thirty feet just missing our quarter by only a foot or two. "Bergs to the right of them, bergs to the left of them, bergs on top of them," I heard somebody say as we caught our breath at this miraculous escape. The ship was now quite at the mercy of the drifting ice, and with the pressure from the outer pack the Roosevelt again careened to starboard. I knew that if she were driven any higher on to the shore we would have to discharge a large part of the coal in order to lighten her sufficiently to get her off again, so I decided to dynamite the ice. I told Bartlett to get out his batteries and dynamite and to smash the ice between the Roosevelt and the heavy floes outside, making a soft cushion for the ship to rest on. The batteries were brought up from the lazaret, one of the dynamite boxes lifted out with caution, and Bartlett and I looked for the best places in the ice for the charges. Several sticks of dynamite were wrapped in pieces of old bagging and fastened on the end of long spruce poles, which we had brought along specially for this purpose. A wire from the battery had, of course, been connected with one of the primers buried in the dynamite. Pole, wire and dynamite were thrust down through a crack in the ice at several places in the adjacent floor. The other one of each wire was then connected with the battery, every one got away to a respectful distance on the far side of the deck, and a quick, sharp push on the plunger of the battery sent the electric current along the wires. Rlp! Bang! Boom! The ship shook like a dish of jelly, and a column of water and pieces of ice went flying a hundred feet into the air, geyser fashion. The pressure of the ice against the ship being thus removed, she righted herself and lay quietly on her cushion of crushed ice, waiting for whatever might happen next.—Commander R. E. Pearly in Hampton's Magazine. MacMahon and Grevy In Paris in the revolution, of 1830 a law student was soundly kicked by one of the king's officers for tearing down a copy of the ordinances placarded on the wall. The officer was armed, the student was not, so the latter ran away. Nearly a half century later, in 1879, the officer called upon the student to bid him goodby, having just resigned the presidency of the French republic on account of a radical difference with the majority of the national assembly on questions of state policy. He combined with his adieu also a graceful word of congratulation on the student's election to succeed him in the presidential chair. The student was Jules Grevy; the officer was Matrice de MacMahon, who died ripe in years and honors. The Falkland Islands The Falkland Islands are among the least known and most out of the way corners of the widely scattered British empire. They form a sort of British suburb of the south pole, some 500 miles from the antarctic end of America, Cape Horn.

Troops from Maryland and Virginia are now there and have made a good showing in the efforts to duplicate the work they would do in case of war on land in which the United States is involved. The troops from the two States were sent out yesterday to oppose the other troops and ascertain the strength of the opposition, which was under the command of Gen. Witherspoon, of the United States army. It is expected that fully — 1,500 West Virginia militiamen will go to the old battle ground to work for ten days. Ohio and Pennsylvania troops will be there at the same time. Up to press time it could not be learned how the shooting at Camp Baker, Ravenswood, came out today in the contests. Some of the best shots in the brigade are participating and the scores expected would place West Virginia in an enviable place among the shots of the entire United States army. General C. D. Elliott went to Ravenswood from Huntington where he went to spend the Fourth and to take part in the parade. About fifteen officers and men from Charleston who are attached to the national guard have gone to Ravenswood. They comprise the teams representing the three companies of this city. Lieutenant R. E. Sherwood has returned from Huntington where he was in the parade as an aide to Gen. Elliott on the Fourth and will have charge of the office of the adjutant general during the absence of Capt. James L. Pratt, who has gone to Camp Baker. Lieutenant Cornwell, of the same office, has gone to Camp Baker, and Lieutenant Dannemiller, U. S.

Glasscock left yesterday morning at 6:30 over the Coal and Coke for the University city, and arrived there last evening. A message came telling the executive of the condition of the elder Glasscock, but he found it impossible to leave then. He caught the first train out, however, and will be away from Charleston for an indefinite period. The governor's father is 82 years of age and has been in falling health for the past several months. He did not get into a serious condition until recently and because of his advanced age his recovery is hardly expected. He is suffering with a complication of ills such as are incident to one of his age. Writ of error and supersedeas was granted yesterday afternoon by the supreme court of appeals through Judge W. N.

Va., July 6.—Montgomery took yesterday's game in a rather slovenly manner, making the seventh straight game she has taken from the Senators. Benny was on the ground with the firm intention of getting everything that could be had, while Jimmie O'Connor was also looking for everything which might come his way. Wills went into the box for the visitors, while Waldron, the speedy southpaw, worked for the locals. Capt. Benny yanked Wills out in the third inning and put Seamon on the mound, but he was as easy for the locals as Wills. Waldron worked until the ninth inning when Chief Sherman relieved him for the last heat. Both sides hit freely, the visitors chalking up 12 bingles while the locals made 13. "Big Mike" Waldron took unto himself one home run, and a number of two baggers were made during the game. Hickey hurt his hand in the sixth inning and Spicer went in behind the mask and finished the game. First Inning—Connolly out, Moye to Womack; Ferrell fanned; Stockeom singled and stole second; Pick fanned. Moye singled, stole second and third and was caught at the plate stealing home. Bowers got to first on Johnson fumbling a hot grounder. Davis sacrificed, advancing Bowers to second. Spicer hit for two bases, scoring Bowers. Ferrell fumbled Orcutt's fly and Spicer scored on the play. Orcutt was caught between first and second. Second Inning—Earlwine singled. Johnson fanned. Zurlage grounded to first and Earlwine went to second. Stanley was out at first on Moye's fast throw to Womack. Lux flied to Ferrell. Hickey grounded to Wills who threw him out to Zurlage.

B. STALNAKER, DRUGGIST Bystanders Say the Driver Was at Fault After colliding while driving on Kanawha street with Talmage Carpenter, a messenger for the Western Union, and not only injuring the boy but smashing his wheel, an unusual sort of local man drove away smiling, without even offering an excuse for the accident. He made no offer of having the boy's hurts looked after or having his wheel fixed. A number of persons saw the collision and said the driver was at fault and ran onto the boy who was mounting the wheel which was too big for him and which he could not manage well.

The cars will be in charge of Agent G. A. Hancock, of the local offices, until they are included in a special train which is to be made up in that city. That train will be under the supervision of General Passenger Agent Griffin, of the C. & O. and Big Four roads. The train will go direct to Detroit and every possible accommodation will be afforded the hundreds of West Virginia Elks who will attend Mr. Hancock today advised those who are going to get their tickets early so that they will not be interfered with by the many other passengers who will be going on the same train to points between here and Huntington. Chairman B. A. Wise, of the committee on arrangements for Charleston Lodge No. 202, has received the badges which will be worn by the local members and their ladies, and those badges are things of beauty. Below the top disk is an Elk's head of gold color and from it is suspended a lead colored pendant of the shape of West Virginia. "Charleston" is engraved on that portion of the badge near a red heart indicating that the capital city is in the heart of the coal fields of this State. The main disk contains the colors red, blue and gold, with a big star underlying the union flag. Youthful Minds Solve Problem in the Higher Finance Problems in high finance are correspondingly attractive to the young mind as they are to the old, and the students profit in comparison. Yesterday, for instance, there was a corner on Cincinnati Enquirers, and that corner was obtained through the efforts of some of the young hustlers who sell papers on the streets. They got up a purse sufficient to buy nearly all the Enquirers that came into the city and after the normal supply was exhausted ten cents a piece was charged for every sheet that was sold. The boys who got the corner paid full price for the papers, but then they doubled their money or refused to sell. Before dark every Enquirer that reached the city had been sold and most of them commanded double price. MONDAY'S POLICE COURT Judge MacCorkle had quite a number of cases to dispose of in Tuesday morning's police court, there being no court Monday morning and the usual number of Fourth of July drunks and disordered being on hand. However, there were no cases of importance. The number of drunks was a feature. Stanley Mack, who was arrested for over-celebrating, was found to possess a pistol and as a result he was bound over to the grand jury under $300 bond. J. H. Banker, who threw a True Blue Gas Mantles have backbone "They stand the racket" --- glass at another man's head in Hauck and Schmidt's place, corner of Virginia and Summers street, making it necessary to take seven stitches, was fused $25, which he held. Shirley Baydon was fused $10 and costs for being drunk and disorderly. He appealed. Richard Kower, host on suspicion, was dismissed.
