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.

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

heavy consists of a coast gunboat. 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. Under Negro teachers trained in the United States the Lutheran, Methodist and Episcopal churches have made and continue to make strong

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

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.

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.

Fight Over Girls.
Washington, June 20—Through
information filed with Stake's Attorney Bowie F. Waters, of Montgomery County, Maryland, officials of the War Department learned today of a brutal assault and mutilation of a Negro near the Gettysburg battlefield by two United States soldiers.

NUPTIALS Celebrated WITH
MUCH SOLEMNITY AT
FAYETTE'S CAPITAL.
Montgomery, July 2—One of the
most beautiful weddings ever wit-
tnessed in this town occured at the
residence of Mrs. Ezzle Lewis, the
mother of the bride, when Miss,
Nellie May Lewis became the wife of
Mr. Anderson Brown this afternoon.
At 4 p. m., Miss Lewis, accompanied
by her brother Mr. James
Lewis, entered the parlor to the
strains of "Hearts and Flowers" played
by Miss Wysor Watson. They
were met at the altar by Mr. Brown.
A solo was then sung by Dr. Orlando
Hodge "O Perfect Love," afterwards
the ring ceremony was performed by
Rev. Warner Brown, pastor of the
First Baptist Church. 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.

The brides cake was served with white carnations. The decorations were of carnations, roses, ferns and palms.
Amidst the showers of rice the couple boarded the 7:12 east bound train for Cambridge, Mass., their future home. They stopped a few days in Philadelphia.
The brides traveling costume was a dark lavender suit, brussels net waist trimmed in lavender, toque and veil to match. Mrs. Brown threw her boquet from the Pullman window and Miss Wysor Watson was the fortunate one to catch it.
The wedding guests were: Mrs. Virginia Johnson, Mrs. Charlotte Martin, of Bluefield; Miss Della Brown, sister of groom; Mr. John Brown, brother, and Mr. John B. 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.

Our opposition at that time was based
Jargely, if not wholly, upon Mr. Gaines
evident Jeaning doward “tily-white:

At that time there was before the
election committee, of which Mr.
Gaines was a prominent member, a
vontest between a colored Republican
and a white Democrat for a seat in
the lower house of congress, ‘The ev:
idence submitted during the hearing
showed conclusively that ballot-

openly engaged in by the successful
candidate, and even then the Negro

Gevided against the Negro.
& We concurred with those that held
that Mr. Gaines was a brilliant man
and destined to rank among the fore:
thost in the national house of repre-
sentatives, but it appeared to us as
being eminently fitting to support an-
ether, having a higher regard for the
qgwerednes of the ballot and the rights

sow, we deplored the injection of th

‘That was six years ago.
* What have these six years taught!
Mr. Gaines has more than fultiiter
the prediction of his friends that hu
would rise to prominence at the na

“Ambition is youn lowliness’ buddey
Whereunto the climber upward tary

But when he once attains the upmos

That is Mr. Gaines’ attitude to

Who can estimate the influence ex-
erted during these years by Dr, Brack-
ett 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 en-
deavor by his teachings?

A paper entitled “Typhoid Fever, Diag

called forth friendly but spirited
criticism from his associate medics,
léd:by Dr. Gamble, ‘The amount of

discussions, opened the eyes of the

Gilmer’s-Return
So ;
EXPECTED TO THROW LIGUT ON
HIS QUEER DISCHARGE
FROM ARMY
Lieutenant David J. Gilmer, of the
Philippine Scouts, has been honorab-
ly discharged from the army estab:
lishment. The following excerpt
from Special Orders, No, 124, Isaued
by the War Departnfint, 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
Hrofessionally disqualified for pro-
motion to the grade of captain by
an examining board, and his. dis-
chargentrom the service having been
recommended by said Board and by
the commanding genéral, 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 De-
partment and the public at large.
Some time ago, it will be recalled,
Lieut. Gilmer was accused of some
infraction of the military law, Hav-
ing been found guilty by a court-
martial, he was recommended for
dismissal from the army, An appeal
lo the Secretary of War resulted in
@ mitigation of his sentence to a
reductioon of twenty-five mumbers in
his rank. ‘The case was then carried
Ty reviewing it, decided that a re-
diuetion of fifteen numbers was sul-
ficient, punishment for the offense
alleged. Lt is an open secret that
the leniency of the President. resul-
led from the friendly activities of
Dr. Booker T. Washington, Judge H.
Terrell, John C. Dancy and others,
Who pointed out Lieut. Gilmer’s ex-
cellent record as a soldier and urged
Urat he be given a chance to redeom
himself from any” possible error of
Judgment that he may have Inad-
vertently committed. ‘The partien-
Jars In this latest phase of the situa-
Uon, enlminating in Ue honorable
discharge of Lieut. Gilmery, are not
available at this time, “Te. whole
truth will doubtless come out pon

Lieut. Gilmer entered the ‘Phird
North Carolina Voluuteers at the
Neginning 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 Washing-
ton, and finally re-entered the army

ippine Seonts, rising later to the Arst

capable officer, and his record prior
to the present dificnlty, was withont

GERMAN CUSTOMS” LAW. |
It May Net Always Be Expensive, but
hewaae eee
It Does Take Time.
“If you travel In Germany you want
to. be careful to declare all dutiablo
goods at the border, even down to a
toothpick,” sald 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. 1 had
bought in Russia half a dozen gua
metal holders for tea glasses, not worth
over 15 cents apiece, aud I bad packed
them tn a Russian belmet. ‘The latter
had a spike on top of It,
“The customs officer at Kiel asked
whether I bad anything dutiable, and
as the holders were of Insignificant
value I sald ‘No.
“That did not satisfy him, He
thrust hls band 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 onth, and then he reached
down more cautiously, grabbed the
spike and pulled the helmet up, the
contents dropping out.
“‘Aba! So!" he exclaimed in tri-
umpb, transfxing me with a look.
“Then be charged me with evading
the law and with smuggling. He lett
us under gutrd, and there we stayed
while we saw our train pull out. Final.
ly the Herr Obertnspektor, tu brilliant
uniform and with sword clanking, came
along back with him, He pompously
inquired who we were, We explained,
“I belleve you, gentlemen,’ be re-
piled after some questioning and con-
siderable deliberation, ‘but you are
amenable to the law and will have to
pay the duty and a fine equal to the
amount of duty ‘hen he burried
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 bad nothing be.
sides but drafts on Berlin, and if the
duty and fine amounted to much we
were in for all sorts of trouble.
“Finally the Herr Oberinspektor
came back with a bundle of papers In
Lis hands, He informed us that we
could be Hberated upon the payment
of 60 pfennigs, which Is about 15 cents,
For this we had lost three hours."—

COSTLY ACCIDENTS.
A Lost Tin Mine and a Lead Mine's
Bottomless Pit.
Immense plans which scemed ‘about
to be completed, but have been brought
to disastrous fatlure at the last mo-
ment, are frequent enough in the his-
tory of industry.
London Answers tells the story of a
tin mine in England which might bave
yielded a fortune but for a storm,
With the Gnding of a new velu of
ore running out toward the sea a new
level was drivenvout below the waters
then it was found that.the Joda. bent
upward too near the sea bottom for
mining to be safely carried on. Undis-
couraged, the owner borrowed money,
Dullt a:sea wall to cut off the water,
erected pumps and again went to
work.
Qn the sixth day, Just as ap enor-
mous mass of rich ore was being tap-
ped, a gale came up, a ship was blown
upon the wall, which went to pleces
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 tn Derbyshire.
Belleving that a rich velu of ore exist
ed Io a nearby Ulll, "the owner risked
his entire capital to bore a tunnel
3,000 feet long into the heart of the
mountain, Suddenly the miners broke

‘They began, to dump rock Into the
stream, and after 10,000 tons a bridge
begad to rise out of the darkness, and
then thelr farther progress was stop-
ped. Mouth after month they tolled,
and at last, after 49,000 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 Parade on the
Fourth Would Have

Many expressions of regret are
still heard over the bad weather of
the Fourth whieh spoiled the elab-
orate preparations made by — the
school children and their friends for
& rational and spectacular celebra-
lion. 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 gath-
ered on the streets had a chance to
see the best of the pageants which
would have composed the bis parade.
‘The float containing the representa-
tion of the origmal turteen states
was good, Each one of the thirteen
young hudies represented a state and
Merl “dressed (0 sii“ each colony.
Over 2,000 people were to have tak-
en part in the event and if the rain
had not interfered the largest. par-
ade in the history of the city would
have waversed 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 fow minutes before noon it
was seen that it would be impossi-
be to start the parade, so that fea-
ture of the day was called off. In
the aficrnocn the youngsters gath-
ered at the different schools and
many games were played,
On account of the bad weather
the baseball game between — teams
from Uie Unions and the Lincoln
Schools was called off, hut the game
will be played at a later date and
the prizes will be given.
Balloons were sent up at different

was enjoyed by all.

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

Mr. Hill and the success of his plan.
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.

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

Premier Laurier is to Tour the West
Ottawa, Ont., July 6.—All arrangements have been completed for the departure tomorrow of Premier Laurier and his party for their extensive tour of the West. It will be the Premier's first visit to that section of the Dominion in thirteen years and with the next general election in view the trip is naturally regarded as of great political significance.
Sir Wilfrid will be accompanied by Hon. John P. Graham, minister of railways, E. M. Macdonald, M. P., and F. F. Pardee, the Liberal whip. 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. The return trip from the coast to Winnipeg will be made by way of Calgary and Edmonton. Other important points included in the itinerary are Brandon, Prince Albert, Saskatoon, Regina, Moose Jaw, Vancouver, Victoria, Kamloops, Nelson, Lethbridge and Medicine Hat. The first speech will be made by the Premier at Port Arthur next Saturday.

Octopus After More Local Gas Territory
There is reason to believe that a big deal for oil and gas properties in this part of the state is under way in this city now and further that the deal will be closed soon. It is said the Standard Oil company is after some important territory in Kanawha and nearby counties which it has not already acquired from the operating companies in this section. No definite information was obtained this afternoon about the deal, but it is known that representatives of the Standard are here with the presumed intention of making an offer for the property they want.

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.

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.

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. A former governor of the Falkland islands, the late Sir William Robinson, used to say that he would have committed suicide while there if he could have found a tree tall enough to hang himself on.-London Standard.
Very Unconventional
"Is this proposal the result of a bet or a joke or a dare?" asked the girl. "No; I ask you to marry me because I love you." "It is unusual; but, after all, the unusual is the proper caper nowadays. I accept you, Algernon."—Louisville Courier Journal.

The State Military Keeping Their Eye on Gettysburg Trip
The eyes of all military men in West Virginia are pointed toward Gettysburg just now, for all of the State troops are going to that point this month to take part in the army maneuvers which are now in progress at the famous field of battle made famous during the civil war. 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. A., also attached to the office, will go to the same point this evening or tomorrow morning.

Apprised of the serious illness of his father at Morgantown, Governor W. E. 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. Miller in the case of Johnson B. Smith against Franklin M. Davis and others, from Doddridge county. The suit involves a debt contracted through surely on a note.

Youthful Minds
Solve Problem in
the Higher Finance
Problems in high finance are cor-
respondingly attractive to the young
mind as they are to the old, and the
students profit in comparison. Yes-
terday, for instance, there wes a
corner on Cincinnati Enquirere, and
that corner was obtained through the
efforts of some of the young hust-
lers 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 pa-
pers, but then they doubled — their
monry or refus® to sell. Before
dark every Enquirer that reached the
city had been sold and most of them
commanded double price.
