SCOTLAND A LAND OF MANY MEMORIES. THE ANCIENT SCOTTISH GUILLOTINE USED TO CHOP OFF HEADS NOW OUT OF USE Authur's Seat And The Village Of St. Leonard's, Where The Chief Incidents In The "Heart Of The Midlothian" Took Place—Quite A Number Of Afro-Americans In Scotland—Secretary Jordan, Of The Baptist Foreign Mission Board A Much Sought After Man. Edinburgh, Scotland.—I have seen so much, until it will take me ages to tell it. I am not going to tell all I have seen, and it is out of the question. I am getting ready to leave Edinburgh, and will relate just a few more historic events, and then turn my attention to thieving. Ten minutes walk from where I left you last week, or in other words northward from Holyrood brings us by Burns' Monument and High School, to the Calton Hill, with its Observatory, its Nelson Column, and its abortive National Monument in memory of Waterloo. I need not tell you more about these things, because you are familiar with them. You know all about Burns. Waterloo, and all other "loos." It was at this point, where it is said the notorious Bothwell, first attracted Queen Mary's attention by launching his steed down the steep north face of the crag. I was not there then and cannot tell you from personal experience much about it. But something did take place: Just a few steps brings us back to Pringsess street. We are now in front of the Old Register House, the chief repository of the national documents, and the new Register House behind occupies the site of the famous tavern in which the Noctes Ambrosianae were held. In St. Andrew street at hand, the National Portrait Gallery contains hundreds of canvass of historic interest, as well as a museum of unique antiquities, including Queen Mary's harp, Jenny Geddes' stool and the ancient Scottish guillotine, which claimed many heads. It has been emancipated now, and out of use. A glance at St. Andrew's church, in George street, where the Disruption of the Kirk took place in 1843, and to the assembly room opposite in which Scott acknowledged the authorship of the Waverly Novels, 1827. But none will miss the walk along Princess street, that matchless promenade, on which we occupy a front room in Royal hotel. As we walk down our attention is directed to the lovely gardens on the left containing many statutes of Edinburgh, men of fame in which the Scott monument rises supreme. On the mound the classic buildings of the National Gallery and the Royal Institution maintain, in stone the reputation of the modern Athens. No. 39 Castle street, on the right was the town house of Sir Walter Scott from 1800 till 1826. And St. John's Episcopal Chapel, at the corner of Lothian Road, was the charge of Dean Ramsey, author of the famous Reminiscences. One sight more, and I am ready to turn attention to other parts. In Palmerston Place, a few minutes walk from the west end of Princess street, the Scottish Episcopal Cathedral of St. Mary, opened in 1879, may fairly be said to match on their own ground the Cathedrals of middle ages. In the neighborhood of Edinburgh, drives may be enjoyed (1) round Author's seat and the village of St. Leonard's, scene of the chief incidents in "The Heart of Midlothian;" (2) to Roslin Chapel and Castle, and Hawthornden, and their historic and poetic memories; and (3) to the Fourth Bridge at Queensferry, one of the greatest engineering feats in the world. This but gives you a slight insight to the many things to be seen around Edinburgh. A trip down the street early in the morning will bring you in touch with many Americans.

Wage Controversy That Threatened To Cripple The Big Railroad System Is Settled After Several Conferences Between General Manager Myers And Committees Representing The 15,000 Conductors And Trainmen — Minor Details Are Yet To Be Worked Out—The Company's Statement. Philadelphia (Special). — General manager W. H. Myers, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the committee representing the 15,000 trainmen and conductors employed on the lines of the road cast of Pittsburg Monday agreed on a basis for the settlement of the wage controversy. Each side claims to have claimed all that it had been contending for in the negotiations which have been in progress for the past six months and which culminated last week in the strike vote by the employes. The proposition offered by the allroad officials and accepted by the men includes a minimum day of 10 hours, as detailed in the New York central award. On certain runs, where the company's present rate is higher, the rate will not be dish The classification of these exceptional runs and the question of overtime were left to be decided at conferences between the various members of the committee and the division superintendents of the lines which they represent. A Misunderstanding. It was further agreed that the men would be guaranteed 26 days work a month. While the men re-read this as a concession, the railroad officials say that during the recent hard times the men were benefited by being worked on short time, rather than being laid off altogether. Until Monday's conference the railroad officials, it was declared, were under the impression that the men were really demanding a 10-hour day with 11 hours' pay. But the company stated that it had all long offered to grant the standard rate and was satisfied not to reduce the pay of any of its men if none was increased by the New York Central award above that of the standard rate. An official of the company stated that by readjusting the runs they can pay the new rate without greatly increasing the expenses of the company. The official statement given out by the railroad is as follows: "At the conference between General Manager Myers and the committees representing the trainmen and conductors employed on the lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad, the general manager, reiterated the company's position, explaining in detail just that the company could do. "At a later conference the men accepted the general manager's proposition, which in effect was that the company would put into effect working conditions including a minimum day as detailed in the New York Central award, leaving the company's high rates stand, but not increasing them by making the 16-hour day apply to the rates which were made to fit an 11 and 12 hour."

And Kept This Up For More Than a Year and a Half. LOUISVILLE HAS A BIG DEFAULTER. More About The Methods Employed By August Ropke In Robbing The Fidelity Trust Company—Would Have Left Only An Empty Shell If He had Not Been Found Out. Was Very Economical In His Private Life. Louisville, Ky. (Special).—Little would soon have been left of the Fidelity Trust Company but an empty shell if the busy hands of August Ropke, now in jail on the charge of making false entries, had not been stayed in their dishonest operations. The partial report of the expert accountants now in the hands of J. W. Barr, Jr., president of the institution, shows that Ropke was dipping into the banks' funds at the rate of $30,000 a month for the past year and a half. The great bulk of his populations came in the last two years, during which period he is alleged to have stolen more than $500,000. The examination by the experts who have been at work on the books shows that his early thefts were in large part restored and were comparatively insignificant alongside his operations, since 1908. From this period up to the time of his detection the size of the amounts taken grew by leaps and bounds. They started at a few thousand a month and increased until the gigantic sums of $30,000, $35,000 and even as high as $50,000 were stolen in a single month. The books tell in minute detail how August Ropke, the $1,$000-a-year clerk, bookkeeper and assistant secretary, became stricken with a frightened fear, only to steal staggering sums in the hope of winning back the early losses. At the rate Ropke was withdrawing money from the bank in increasing sums, had he gone on undetected for another two years, it would have taken millions to replace the peculiations. Nearly A Million. Although Mr. Barr has issued no statement of the exact amount of the thefts from the bank's strong box, he has figures, it is said, which are within a few thousand dollars of being final. When the official statement is given out by Mr. Barr it will be seen, it is said, that the bank's total losses run in excess of $600,000. From one source comes the statement that the sum may reach $650,000, but will not go as high as $700,000. The directors of the trust company, it is stated, have decided to issue $1,000,000 of additional capital stock at par, and in well-informed circles this is taken to indicate that the shortage will be in the neighborhood of $1,000,000. The examination of the books have taken a backward course. The size of the shortages of the present year filled the bank's officials and directorate with a panic which continued to lessen as the thefts rapidly decreased upon a further retrospective examination. It was thought at first that Ropke had been stealing at the clip of $30,000 a month for years, and the thought of what the shortage might be was staggering. But the farther back the experts went, the smaller the shortages became, until at the end of a few years they became insignificant, and it was seen that the defalcations could be easily weathered by an institution with the firm financial foundation of the Fidelity. Sentence May Be Forty Years. There has been much speculation as to the maximum punishment that might be meted out to Ropke upon conviction. It is apparent from the examination of the bank's books that Ropke is liable to indictment upon as many as 20 counts. Following a conviction upon each count and the assessment of the minimum penalty of two years for making a fase entry, Ropke now faces a cumulative sentence of 40 years. The opinion around the Criminal Court is that Ropke and the bank officials will probably agree upon certain of the counts and possibly a maximum length of imprisonment. TWO CHILDREN KILLED. Trollley Car And Mule Team Exact Their Toll Of Death. Pittsburg (Special)—A trolley car and a delivery dragon each exacted its toll of juvenile death in this section. At Ford City the three-year-old son of Mearhard Szifran, a merchant, was ground beneath a trolley car. His neck and back were broken. He had escaped from his mother on a porch and the father, infuriated at what he charged with being her carelessness, knocked her down, and was beating her when the police interfered. She escaped, and is in hiding. At Canonsburg nine-year-old John Carmack was run over by a team of mules and his skull was crushed. He ran from his father into the path of the team, and was killed before his helpless parent. Congressman Gilmore Dead. New Orleans (Special).—Congressman Samuel L. Gillmore, of the second Louisiana district, died at his home at Albina Springs after a long illness. In Jail With Mother springfield, Ill. (Special) ---The coroner's jury recommended that Mrs. Frank Stout, who confessed to having shot and killed Deputy State Game Warden John O'Connor, be held for murder without bond. Her six children remained with her in the jail annex all day Sunday. Mrs. Stout is composed and expresses no regret at having assassinated O'Connor, who she alleges made objectionable advances toward her. To the coroner's jury she calmly told the details of the shooting. Millionaire Pennsylvanian in Receiver's Hands. Democratic National Committeeman And Oil And Coal King Of Pittsburg Has Unsecured Obligations Of $950,000—Worth Seventeen Millions—The Colonel Declares His Assets Double His Obligations And That He Will Pay Every Cent He Owes. Pittsburg, Pa. (Special).—Col. James M. Guffey, a multimillionaire oil man, has gone into the hands of a receiver, who was appointed by Judge Joseph M. Swearingen, in the Common Pleas Court of this county. The action was taken upon a bill in equity filed by J. H. Galey and John S. Willard, who is familiar with Colonel Guffey's affairs, was named as receiver. The bill filed alleges that Colonel Guffey's indebtedness is about $6,700,000, of which about $990,000 is unsecured; that the defendant has no ready money with which to meet the payments due, and that certain creditors are threatening to sell his collaterals and enter suits. It is further asserted that Colonel Guffey has assets of over $17,000,000, a large part of which is stock of the J. M. Guffey Company and the West Virginia Company. two coal companies, which own 126,700 acres of coking coal in the State of West Virginia. Those properties are asserted to be worth at least $15,000,000, and the bill in equity maintains that they are estimated to contain 2,000,000,000 tons of coal, which, at a profit of 1 per cent, per ton, would realize $20,000,000. Other assets of Colonel Guffey to the value of $2,000,000 or $3,000,000 consist of stocks and bonds of other corporations. All of these stocks and bonds are pledged as collateral, and the receivability as found necessary to prevent a sacrifice of this collateral. The order of court restraints all creditors from disposing of any of the collateral securities or other assets of Colonel Guffey pending further order of the court. Colonel Guffey in a statement said: "I very much regret that to conserve all of my estates, a receivability became necessary. This course affords absolute protection for all of my obligations, as all as protection for myself. "My assets are more than double the amount of my obligations. I don't expect the receivorship to continue any great length of time. I have properties of great value, and it is only a question of being permitted to dispose of them without sacrifice to pay all my obligations." AMERICAN VICTORY IN GERMANY Prosecutor Finds Oil Company Has Committed No Wrong. Berlin.—The long and venomous campaign waged by German newspapers and rival industrial interests against one of the German branches of the Standard Oil Company—the Deutsche Vacuum Oil Company—has just been brought to a victorious end for the Americans involved. A well known Hamburg newspaper for months printed such a series of attacks on the "American graft methods" alleged to have been practiced by the vacuum company in the conduct of its German business that the public prosecutor of Hamburg felt constrained to make an official investigation with a view to eventual indictments. The prosecutor has now concluded his investigation, especially of the work of E. L. Quarles, American manager of the German company's sales department, and announces that no necessity exists for pursuing the inquiry further. No evidence of anything warranting prosecution was found against Mr. Quarles, and the cost of the entire inquiry will be borne by the State. The result of the investigation constitutes a notable triumph for American interests in Germany. It is not the first time that Germans finding themselves unable to compete with Americans on ordinary terms have resorted to slander. DEAD WOMAN STRANGLED. Found In Her Home, Arms And Ankles Bound New York (Special). — Another case of a murder of a woman under strange circumstances was uncovered when Mrs. Rosie Lucaschick, of Jersey City, was found lying dead on the floor of her home on Washington Street, her arms and ankles bound and the marks of a stangler on her throat. A strange man was seen in her home shortly before the strangled woman was found. No arrests have been made. Revolution Pending. Mobile, Ala. (Special)—Another Central American revolution is immigrant. This time Honduras is to be the battleground, and President Davilla is to meet in combat his old opponent and former president of the republic, Manue Bonilla. This is the firm belief of the Central American colony in Mobile, members of which were stirred by the sailing from Mobile of the Norwegian steamer Utstein with 113 cases of ammunition and other war-material. Deal At The Wheel. New Orleans (Special)—The big transfer boat of the Southern Pacific, the Barrier, while crossing the Mississippi, ran into the New Orleans dry dock, and then the steamship Moerle. A deckhand rushed to the pilot-house to see what was the cause of this reckless steering and found the pilot, Capt. Albert W. Averill, dead, but still grasping the steering wheel. Captain Averill was a native of Dresden Mills, Me., and had for 40 years been a successful pilot at New Orleans. The Finding Of The Battered Body Of The Once Beautiful Music Hall Artist Covered With Quicklime In The Cellar Of Dr. Crippen's House In London—He Wrote His Wife's Relatives In Brooklyn That Sho Died In California—They Were Married In This Country. London (Special). — Police and music hall circles in this city are worked up over the murder of Belle Elmore, the beautiful and popular singer and vaudeville performer, whose body has been found in the cellar of the residence of the woman's husband, Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen, at 39 Hilldrop Crescent, North London. The woman was an American, so is her husband, who has had a varied career in American cities. The detectives of Scotland Yard are hunting for him and they have cabled the New York department to keep a close watch upon all incoming steamers for him, as it was reported, he sailed for New York Saturday. The case is strikingly similar to that of the Charlton murder at Lake Como, Italy. Both women were actresses who left their American homes to meet death by violence in a foreign land, and in each instance the police pursued the American husband to the shores of his native land. Porter Charlton was arrested in Hoboken, but in the absence of an extradition treaty between the United States and Italy specifically providing for the return to either country of a citizen of the other country who has committed a crime abroad may go free. No. Legal Loophole. In the present case no such complications are probable, as the British-American extradition treaty leaves no loophole of which a suspected criminal may take advantage. The London police have made a definite charge against Dr. Crippen, and propose to get him with the co-operation of the American authorities. Dr. Crippen, who is a dentist, 50 years of age, has made his home for sometime at 39 Hilldrop Crescent, North London. Sometimes ago his wife, Belle Elmore, a vaudeville actress and treasurer of the Music Hall Artists' Guild, disappeared, and subsequently a notice of her death appeared in the local papers. The fact of her demise was generally credited, but there was more or less gossip among the woman's intimates, and this finally reached the ears of the police. The latter visited Dr. Crippen and the interview appeared to be satisfactory. Saturday noon last Dr. Crippen disappeared and since then the police have no been able to locate him. A search of the Crippen house was made and the battered body of a woman was found buried in the cellar. It had been blaced in quicktime and was burned beyond recognition, but the finding of the body together with other discoveries has left no doubt in the minds of the authorities that the murdered woman was Mrs. Crippen. It is stated that almost all the bones are missing. The viscera is sufficiently preserved to enable an analysis to be made. A quantity of long hair and some hairpains have been found. Sir Mirlville McNaughton, chief of the criminal investigation department of Scotland Yard, took the matter in hand and developments followed rapidly. Woman In Male Attire. The first thing the police did was to cable to the police of American ports asking them to search incoming steamers for Crippen, who was described with the aliases of Peter Crippen and Franckel Crippen. They state that he is accompanied by Ethel Clara Leneve, a Frenchwoman, whom he recently introduced as his wife. This woman, the police state, is believed to be dressed in male attire. Before leaving Hildrop Crescent, Crippen sent out a boy's suit, and this, the police surmise, is now being worn by his companion. The indications point to a coolly planned murder. Performed In Court. Hamilton, O. (Special).—William Deonso, a trick jumper, was a performer and Judge Murphy was audience and critic in the latter's court here. Deonso was hurt in a railroad accident. He sued the company and won $1,500 damages. He had been jumping in and out of barrels for a livelihood, but after the accident claimed that he could no longer do that trick, so he perfected a new performance. The railroad alleged that the new trick was more difficult than the old one. Deonso performed his later effort in court and convinced the judge that, while it seemed difficult, any child could do it with a little practice. ODDS AND ENDS. Siam last year imported $361 worth of California wines from the United States. Camels fight with their necks and knees, each one trying to choke his adversary. In a new washing machine the turning of a crank revolves the bottom and operates a vertical plunger at the same time. A floating drydock with a lifting power of 17,000 tons, which is being built in England, will be towed to Bermuda when finished. A Virginian has a farm where he captures wild geese while young, clips their wings and raises them for market. An English motor-boat holds the record for speed at present, having maintained a rate of 43 miles an hour for four hours. The largest woman of whom there is authentic record, a giantess 8 feet 6 inches tall, is being exhibited.

Here we have the reverse pro- cess—the “figure” of a servant being changed into the glorious appearance -of the Son of God, If things had been allowed to take their course, | Jesus would have been glorified right ‘then and there with the glory, which |He had with the Father: before the world was (John 15:7), But things | ave not allowed to take their course. ‘Phe work of redemption was not ret accomplished, Not only the incarna- tion, but also the crucifixion, was nec | essary for our salvation (Heb. 9:22; Eph, 1:7); so He who had already |turned His back upon the divine glory and been made in the Iieness of men (Phil, 2:6, 7) again turne His back upon it and descends fro | that mountain to die on Calvary (vs 12), Not until upon the cross of Calvary He can utter the triumphant oy “Tt is finished,” will He consent to resume the glory that He laid aside to redeem us (2 Cor. 8:9). Maving finished that atoning work, He will not be transfigured alone, hut in due time we shall be trans- figured together with Him (Phil. 3:21, PR. V.; Col. 2. 4, R. V.). There is |for us an anticipatory transfigura- tion in the life that now is (Rom, 12:3, the Greek word for “trans- formed" is the same as translated rtransfigured” in ¥. 1). The details of the transfiguration should be fnoted, “His face did shine as the } sun;” “His garments became white as light; in Mark “His garments be- jcame glistering exceeding white, so 'as no fuller on earth could whiten | them;” in Luke “The fashion of His countenance was altered and His raiment became white and dazzling.” This all gives us some idea of how He nnd we will appear in the resur- rection glory. ‘The lnghest splendor af earth seems dim indeed compared with this, It all occurred as “he prayed” (Luke 9:29). Nothing, even in the life that now is trans- figures like prayer. As the disciples / gazed upon their glorified Lord, they peheld two others talking with Him, Moses and Elijah, the two great rep } veseniatives of the law and the proph- els. Moses had died (Deut. 34:6, €), and the theory of non-existence oz non-conscious. existence of tho /oiy dead until ikeir resurrection at the second coming of Christ goes to picses on this rock. It was no mere~ iy subjective vision that the three saw (2 Pet. 1:16-18), ‘The word trans- Iated “vision” inv. 9 means “thing seen.” just as it docs etmologieally. Ie is tracslated “sight” in Acts 17: 31, The tiree disciples were not tiroaming, hut “fully awake” (Luke 9:38, R.V.). Moses and Elijah “ap. ‘peared in glory” (Luke 9:32), Moses’ | longing to enter the promised land -onee denied him is now satisfied, at |last he is there. ‘The disciples evl~ dently recognized Moses and Elijah, win they had never seen in the fish. end that ought to settle the question whether we will recognize fn glory those whom we have known on earth. The one subject that en- zuged the attention of Moses and Bit- jah and Jesus on this wonderful oc- vasion with His “decease” (Luke 3: 91), the atoning death is a subject of greut interest to the keavenly world (ef. 1 Pet. 1:10-12). If. Jesus Only, 5-8. God now de- seeds upon the mount — a cloud oversiadows the disciples; fear falls upen them in that awful presence. God speaks (ef. Luke 9:35). Who can measure the depth of God's joy in that Son who again turns His ‘tack on the glory and chooses the cross, God passed by Moses and Bt jah, yreat as they were, and points out’ Jesus as the one Son and says, |"Hear ye Him.” Destruction awaits “the one who will not hear Him (Acts } 3:22, 29: Heb, 12:25).

It is now admitted that nearly a million souls are ushered into eter: nity each year by the ravages ot tuberculosis or consumption. — ‘I'he humaa family has before it so high- er work than that which js now be: ing undertaken in reference to the arrestmeat and abatement of the white plague. Since cures, alter cer- tain stages of the disease have been passed, are impossible, with our present state of medical knowledge, we feel that the most desperate aud earnest stand ought to be taken to prevent contagion. The disease is highly transmissable in the germs, Woich are found abundant in the ‘sputa of the consumptive. “One of the first things which the Baltimore Municipal ‘luberculosis Commission ought to do, is to have our city fathers enforce the anti-spit- ting ordivaave. The spitting upon sidewalks and crossings, ought to be madea penal offense and signs ought to be posted everywhere, that it is unlawful to spit on sidewalks and crossings. Many Northern cities have adopted this regulation, and we deem this one of the wisest things that our Tuberculosis Com- mission can do at this time in the City of Baltimore. Many an inno- cent woman whose skirts have pick: ed up the germs on the streets, have been inocculated with the disease, and her life blasted without her even knowing that she was dragging death at her heels on the streets. Anotber thing in connection wich the same effort to prevent contagion would be an appeal to our women, to never visit the shopping districts of the city with skirts so long that they trail upon the sidewalk. We have sseu women with their arms so full of bundles and a market basket that it was impossible to hold up their skirts, so they were eft to drag after them, bedabiled with the fitth of the streets. Then he woman hangs the skirts to dry, ‘ubs or brushes the dirt out, the dis- rases germs are set free and as $he ohales them, the work of death is egun, The anti-spitting ordinance should be rigidly enforced. Do all we can to stop the spread of the dis- ase. ‘The Commission must keep ts eye upon general city sanitation wud not forget the poor in the alleys ind vile tenements, TAKING ADVANTAGE OF OUR DISADVANTAGES | The above expression, so often lupon the lips of Dr. Frissell, Prin ‘cipal of the Hampton Institute, dur. jing the sessions of the’ “llampton Conference’, is indicative of the real ‘meaning of the annual “Conference” held ia connection with that great institution. We think s> highly o ‘these Conierences that we earnestl y ‘wish a similiar one was held each yeat in every state having a large ‘Negro population, “The Hampton Conference is a zathering of earnest workers in ail avenues of Negro amelioration, for conference and mutual help, " Its power and influence may be discern- ei\ in the steady improvement'of our people in the various communities touched by the quickening spirit of ofthe Coaference, Just take one phase of the work. Throughout the state of Virginia, and many of the other Southern States, colored insurance companies have grown by the huadreds, handling thousands of dollars of the money of the race insured 1 such institutions. What ore the methads pursued by these companies? Are the rates such as will warrant them in meeting all their obligations? The ordinary person who takes ont a policy, sel- dom bothers his mind with sach questions; yet such questions are of prime importance, for if these iusti- tutions of the race fail they uot only equauder tbe money of the bard working people, but, what is of more importance, they greatly im- pair the cunfidence of the race in its self to do successful hasiness> Now asumber of these -colored ‘companies, whase -representatives attend the Hampton Conference, have organized themselves into a association for their mutual benefit and protection. Co-operating with them, Hampton has gratuitously and most magnanimously furnished them with an “expert” in that par- ticular line, to assist in placing these companies on a solid and sure foun- dation, thereby fofestalling any possible disaster. This is but one phase of the good work of the Hampton Conference, but were there no ‘other feature, this alone would justify the wisdom of hold- ing such conferences. But then there is the diversified work, among the race, in rural com- munities. When we consider how large a proportion of the Negro race live in the country, it is at once evi- dent that muck labor and interest ought to be bestowed in improving the cvnditions in rural districts. But the Hampton Conference can- not be adequately described. To be enjoyed one must become a parc of that great tidal wave of informa- tion andinspiracion, The race is moving forward, and it is certain that the workers of Hampton are doing much to keep it mo ing. We need similiar conterences for the benetit of the race in such large centres as New York, Philadelphia, Raltimore and Washington. We imagine the Lincoln Universizy would be an ideal spot. . We have many problems in city life, as a peo- ple. We have many disadvantages and we need to he helped to take advantage of our disadvantages. We simply throw out the sugges- tion, There ought co be some place in the North where the carnest workers in the several lines of en- deavor among our people might be enabled to get together for mutual heip, with respect to mutual prob- lems. We need both information and inspiration. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM, To rhe Eprror or THe Arro- AMERICAN LEDGER: Can there anything guod come out of Reno? Let's sec. On the fourth day of July, two bruisers met—one wrapped in black skin and the other wrapped in white sain.

Yours for law and order, | W. H. Bares, Annapolis, Md. To tHe Emiror or THe AFRO-AMER- ican LERGER: I wish to call your attention to an article in the last weck's issue of your paper in connection with the biographical sketch of Rev. J. H. Taylor, B. D., vice president of The Nationa! Texas Purchase Movement ‘Association. I have nothing to say derogatory about what you stated in reference to Rev. Taylor's work as an organizer and a preach- ie for that was true, and no excep: tion do I take so far as that goes. But I do take exception to what was said in reference to The Na- tional Texas Purchase Movement Association. I want to state emphatically that the part of Rev. Taylor's sketch which referred to The Natioxal ‘Texas Purchase Movement Associa- tion is misleading and does not ex- press the sentiment of the members of the movement. ‘The ‘vice presi- dent has notified me that the state- ment in your last week’s issue was unauthorized and.does not comport with his ideas at all. 1 am enclos- ing you an outline aud constitution, also a pamphlet which will fully ex- plain our purpose for organizing our association, and what our plans are as to the acquiring of Texas as a republic. You will oblige the association very mrch by correcting your state- ment’ in reference to’our plans. We believe our plans are practical, and no one can truthfully deny it. If we are quoted at all we should be quoted correctly, Respectfully, . W, J. Wissron, Secretary of The National Texas Purchase Movement Association. Teddy And.I Visit'Hampton 7 - Institute And Buckroe Beach Baltimore Delegation Attends _ Convention Of Women’s Ciubs | Teddy came into the office one day last week with his coat ox his arm, his bat in bis hand, col jar wide open and a big palm lea! fan in bishand. Seating bimself in ‘the most comlortable chair. in the ‘office, the first thing he said was: “Say ain’t this some hot.” Of course we agreed with him. For it was a hot day, and conse. quently any discussion of the sub- ject was out or order, “Have you heard when the cov- ference at Hampton is to be?” said Teddy. He was told that it was to open on Wednesday. “Say let’s go down and see if it is as hot as itis here? We will get a little respite any way on the bout, and almost anything is better than being cooped up in this hot town.” We agree with him again, and soiwe packed our grips aud on Tuesday evening boarded the Augusta, one of the palatial steamers of the Ches- apeake Line, and we were off for down the Bay. Previously, how- ever, we had had an interview with Mr. W.2E- Duck, the general jticket agent of the Chesapeake Line, and were provided by him with the nec- essary pasteboards to pass muster before Purser Knowles. Mr. Duck takes as kindly to newspaper: mea as the proverbial duck takes to water, and it is a pleasure to line up. before him. On the wharf we were joined by a number of companions, among whom were Editor T. Thomas Fort- une, Lawyers Hawkins and Mc- Card, Dr. D. G. Scott, Messrs. Hugh M, Bucket, 4. B. Callis and a num- ber of ladies. “Say, what about supper?” said Teddy. ‘Teddy never forgets to éat, and Teddy isa real good judge of what is necessary to go inside of the body to keep up outsidg appear-| anees, And we had the supper. Next morning we were at the ad- ministration building at Hapmton Institute. Pretty soon Captain Washington came upon the sccae with his smiling conatenance, and we were assigned to a splendid room in the Holly Tree Inn. “Now this is what I call fine,” said Teddy ashe seated bimself by che side of a screened window where 4 splendid breeze was coming in. “If ve jtisthad this breeze in Baltimore, ie would be all right.” | Pretty soon it was time for break | fast, aud as we were in splendid rrim, we did ample justice to it. | Teddy and I attended each ne sion of the conference to its close. anid what was done is not neces | sary to be reiterated here.

Ever acd avon could we hear someone expressing their awe aud admiration at the magnificent sights which mother nature present- ed to our view. . Our reception at Louisville was most cordial and we at once pro- pounced it the queen of Southern cities; all around us was the display of culture and refinement in the beautiful homes where we were-so boanteonsly entertained on Chest- nut street, one of the main feniden: tial sections of our people here, were large improved houses, -beautifal | verandas and lawos, both back and | front and in one of these, the resi- dence of Mr. and Mrs. J.

After a talk with the rest of the party it was de- ‘cided to grace the hotel with our pre- sence, avd so Teddy was made Feet marshal for the occasion, and right well did be act his part. | Sunday morning at the invitation of Captain Washington, we viewed the inspection and parade of the boys on the Jawn in froat of the chapel aud afterward enjoyed a very pleasant service in the chapel. ‘On this occasion Miss Young was ‘our chaperou. Monday evening we were to start home. In the meantime a North- wester set in and the waves were so high that Teddy decided that it was saler to remain on shore than it would bz on the bosom of the Ubes- apeake. Now Teddy thinks a good deal of dimself and is never anxious to intrude himself on anybody's company, and so he induced the rest of us to remain until the next day. When the waves finally washed the end of the recreation pier away, Yeddy felt that be was confirmed in his opinion that it was best to stay where we were. On Tuesday evening, bag and bag- gage, the party made its way to Old Point and took passage on the Steamer Columbia for Baltimore. Mr. Rigging, the purser, soon had us ensconsed in well appointed ‘state rooms, and Mr. J. Lyon Jenkins sought Teddy out and pretty soon after we bad our legs under the ma- hogany of the steamer’s dining rooms. Mr. Jenkins saw to it thar we were well provided with tne best that the larder in the steamer af- forded, and “Jimmy” Lill, one of the}: politest of waiters, saw that it vame our way in a style equal to that of the Belvedere. ‘Teddy introduced us to Mr. Jen: kins and told us that the Company thought so well of kim that they had his picture on their Post Cards, advertising its boats as being one of the pleasant features of traveling over its line.

DEATH OF BISHOP E. W. LAMPTON. FORTY YEARS OF THE HARD EST KIND OF WORK CRAMMED INTO THE PAST FIFTEEN YEARS First Met Him In The General Conference Of The A. M. E. Church at Wilmington, N.C. Was Active As A Minister, Presiding Elder, Financial Secretary Grand Master of Masons, And Finally Bishop of his Church-Was Intensely Interested In His Race. CHAS STEWART. Brookhaven, Miss.—I did not intend to write you a letter for some weeks, nor did I intend to announce my return to this country. But my heart is sad, and I am sad, hence I am forced to say just a word to you this week in addition to my letter from abroad. I am sure though you can imagine my feelings today, when the sad news reached me Saturday afternoon thru Dr. L. W. M. Manaway, that Bishop Lampton, my friend, was dead. Can it be possible? Just in the prime of life, just starting a career that would benefit the whole race. Just giving his all for the education of his people, especially the ministry of his church, and then be cut off. I must bow in humble submission to the will of Our Heavenly Father who holds the destiny of us all in His hands. It was known that Bishop Lampton was my friend, and I was proud of his friendship. I dare not question why he should be taken from us at this time, since it is the work of God. I do not feel like writing. I feel more like shedding tears. I weep with his daughters, Delilah, Gertrude, Ethel and Cornelia, also his brother Frank. Forty years work has been crammed into the past fifteen years of Bishop Lampton's career, both in church and state. He has accomplished much. It was in 1896, that I had the pleasure of meeting him for the first time. This was at the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church held in Wilmington, N. C. He was determined that I should get acquainted with him cause every time he passed me he handed me one of his cards, and invited me to visit his home, alo his state. When the General Conference closed, he with Bishop Derrick extended me an invitation to visit the fall conferences in Mississippi and Arkansas which invitation I accepted. When I got into the state, I began to study the life of the young minister, who was in the saddle. He was also Grand Master of the Stringer Grand Lodge of Masons. I found him a very busy man into everything for the uplift and development of his people. As presiding elder, he always wanted to be in the lead, and did lead. Now as a Mason, he lived in the hearts of the members of the Stringer Grand Lodge, developing the Endowment feature, adding to the wealth of the Grand Lodge by purchaing land, erecting halls, and the last act of his life was the purchase and dedication of the Masonic Home in Jackson, Miss. It was really my intention this week to trace his life and the work done step by step, but I find it impossible to write. It is hard to write about a friend. This comes to inform the readers of the Afro-American Ledger that Bishop E. W. Lampton is dead. I am back in America and have attended two big conventions, the Wood River Baptist Sunday School Convention and the Pythian Grand Lodge.

Tampa, Fla., July 19--Crazed with cocaine, William Elison, entered the First African Methodist Church, Sunday, and killed Rev. Jesse Avery, the pastor of the church in his pulpit. He also shot and killed the organist, Henry Clark, and followed this up by killing his mother-in-law, wounding his wife and sister-in-law and mortally wounding a policeman. When Elison entered the church he shouted that he was prepared to send sinners to their reward, and fired upon Rev. Mr. Avery, a load of shot entering his breast, causing instant death. Clark was sitting at the organ when killed. Several women in the congregation fainted. Elison then ran to the home of his mother-in-law and shot the women as stated. Elison then mounted a horse which he had tethered near his mother-in-law's home and started away on a gallop. He encountered Policeman Hayman and opened fire on him, mortally wounding him in the breast. He then darted down a dark alley. Here he was surrounded by policemen, where he was found to be in an unconscious condition. He was hurried to a police station to escape a rapidly gathering mob. On arriving at the Station it was found that he was dead. Elison had drunk the contents of a whiskey bottle into which he had poured strychnine. BAPTISTS HAVE SUCCESSFUL SESSION Potomac River Baptist Association holds Its Eighth Annual Session. (Staff Correspondence.) Marbury, Md., July 21—The Potomac River Baptist Association concluded its eighth annual meeting here at Pleasant Grove Baptist church this evening. The sessions began on Tuesday and were attended by ministers and delegates from churches in Southern Maryland and Northern Virginia. At the opening session. Rev. Dr.R. B. Ward, Moderator of the convention, delivered a happy address of welcome. Responses were made by Revs. C. F. Payne, D. G. Mack, W. W. Allen, S. S. Crockett, all of Baltimore; R. L. Holmes and J. B. Robinson of Washington: S. J. Russell, of Ambar, Va., and others. Rev. J. H. Gryme, of King George County. Va., preached a stirring annual sermon. Rev S. S. Wormley delivered an address on "A Better Plan for Sunday School Work." Rev J. B. Robinson preached at night. Dr. Ward delivered his annual address Wednesday, reviewing his work as Moderator. After a number of ministers had made complimentary remarks about Dr. Ward's services as moderator, the various committees were announced. Rev W. W. Allen preached in the afternoon and at night an educational rally was held. Reports from churches and missionaries were received Thursday morning, and in the afternoon the Women's Auxiliary held their session. The various reports made by the ministers showed that the Baptists were gaining rapidly in Southern Maryland. The Pleasant Grove church is one of three flourishing congregations which Moderator Ward pastors in Charles County. POCOMOKE HAPPENINGS Pocomoke City, Md., July 20. There were many evenings of pleasure spent last week at St. John's A. M. E. park by the old as well as the young people. Among the arrivals in Pocomoke recently are Mrs. Edna Savage, Miss Seba Gunby and Mr. Joe Butler. Pocomoke is becoming more beautiful by the buildings being erected by the colored people. Mr. George H. Little, the superintendent of the Mutual Benefit Society of Baltimore, is visiting Pocomoke this week and is the guest of Mr. Norvel H. Costen. Sunday was Trustees' day at Saint John's church. The collection was good. Rev. Marshall preached in the morning, and the pastor, Rev. J. S. Collins, preached at night. Large congregations were present at each service. We are having fine weather here now and the churches are holding lawn parties every night and every one seems to enjoy themselves. Mrs. Cassio J. Waters was in town on Thursday of last week. Mrs. Elenora F. Gunby who was taken to Salisbury Hospital last week is slightly improved. Mr. Eben Quinn is quite ill at his home. Read The Afro-American. Continued from page 1 and when I mention street you must understand that I refer to Princess St. because it is here where you may meet all those who are from America and any other place in the morning, but in the afternoon they are scattered. The first man to attract my attention as I walked down the street was the Rev. Dr. C. M. Fisher, of Mobile, Ala. He was walking down the street, as if at home. He seemed to be in a hurry, "I am looking for Rev. L. G. Jordan," he said, "and I haven't time to look in any place. I have promised to meet him this morning and must keep my engagement." It was wonderful to see how anxious he was to keep his appointment, but I found it was a case of 'all the bait in that boy's pocket. He was to see Dr. Jordan to get his ticket into the Synod hall, where the lower house was to meet. He was after the ticket in a hurry. I saw him an hour later and he had seen Dr. Jordan secured his ticket and was ready for going abroad. Dr. Jordan was a much sought after man, because most of the men of our race who are on hand, belong to the Baptist church, and are big men in the National Baptist Convention. Dr. Jordan, is secretary of the Foreign Mission Board hence he had to secure tickets for them. Who but Rev. E. J. Fisher, pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, Ill., and chairman of the American delegation, as he put it. He found that it was an easy thing to be a big man at home, but he was not known in this matter, hence he had to fall in with the rest and look to Jordan. On one occasion I am told that a reporter for one of the English pnpers was talking to one of the delegates of my race, and Dr. Fisher walked up on one leg and said "I am chairman of the delegation, and you must get all information from me, what is it you want to know?" I am not going to comment on this, but it was good to see him in this part of the world, and I am glad that he was useful. I like to see big chairmen of delegations, and I think the next time I am going to get me a delegation. Well by the way I did have one, Revs. J. P. Robinson and J. W. Rankin, and I guess I will say that Col. J. O. Midnight was chairman of that American delegation. We had it all to our own party and enjoyed a fine time. Well, as I walked down the street, I met Rev. E. R. Carter, J.). D, of Atlanta, Ga. Now there is a man you do not hear much about but he is a great man, and stands high over here in Europe. He has made the trip over nine times, and the people all know him. He comes well recommended, has many friends, and is doing a great work for the race. He was walking down the streets of Edinburgh just like he was at home. He does not make much fuss but goes along and does the work, and I commend him for this. Now another important man on this trip is Rev. J. II. Eason, president of the Alabama Baptist Convention. Dr. Eason has made many friends here, and wes perhaps the first American to preach in one of the churches. He accepted an invitation to preach in Carrubvers Chapel, one of the largest churches in the city, and I am here to tell you that he did do some preaching. He held up America. It would be of interest to know that every man who opened his mouth represented us. Our people are getting a hearing here. I am glad to see that so many of our able men are coming over. It is helping to make sentiment for us in this part of the world. Rev. S. W. Bacote, statistician of the National Baptist convention is on hand. He is pastor of a large Baptist church in Kansas City, Mo. He is telling the people of Scotland how many Negro Baptists in the United States, and he is opening their eyes to our worth. Then there is Rev. Wm. Beckham, D. D., of the National Baptist Convention. He is field secretary as you remember. He said that he came solely to attend the convention and when it was over he would return to America. I had the pleasure of calling to see Mrs. J. E. Givens, of Louisville, Ky., the artist. She was enjoying herself, and then I would mention Mrs. Amelia W. Sullivan, from Augusta, Ga., one of the teachers in the public school and I could mention a number of others who are over from the United States. I will have something to say about them in another letter. GREENWOOD ELECTRIC PARK Undoubtedly the best Park for your Summer Outing Easiest way to Make Money Without Risk.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN Holds One Of The Largest And Best Attested Meetings In Its History—Officers Elected.—Will Meet In 1912. Louisville, Ky., July 16.—The seventh Biennial session of the National Association of Colored Women, which closed its sessions here today was the largest and best attended in the history of the Association. The sessions were held in the Colored Methodist Episcopal church, on Chestnut street, except on Thursday when the sessions were held in the city armory, which had been loaned by the city for the purpose. The welcome address to the convention was delivered by Mrs. M. E. Steward, chairman of the local committee of arrangements. Among those present were Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Mrs. Eva Jae iifer, Mrs. Jda Wells-Barnett, Mrs. Lucy Thurman and Mrs. I. N. Ross, of Washington, D. C. The following officers were elected for the opening year: 10 for the ending year.

SUPERINTENDENT WHEELER REPORTS CONDITIONS IN CHURCH Rev. T. H. Wheeler, district superintendent of the Annapolis District, reports his district as being in splendid condition spiritually and financially. Says he, "The pastors, with few exceptions are mak-commendable records, which will speak well for them at the end of the year. Mrs. Flossie Waters, of 403 N. Bethel street, left the city this week for Farinfield, Md., for the summer, the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Waters. SHRINERS GO TO CAMBRIDGE. On Wednesday of last week, Jerusalem Temple No. 4, A. E. A. O. Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, gave an excursion to Cambridge, Md., on the Steamer Starlight. The excursion though widely advertised was not the success, financially, it should have been, yet those who went were treated to a day of unalloyed pleasure. The hospitality of the Masons of Cambridge and their friends was something not soon to be forgotten. The going to Cambridge of this Order demonstrates that after all said and done the Starlight is a good boat and a safe one. HOMES FOR DELEGATES WANTED. The 15th B. M. C. of the G. C.

Don't neglect the kidneys when you lack control over the secretions. Passages become too frequent or scanty — urine is discolored and sediment appears. No medicine for such troubles like Doan's Kidney Pills. They quickly remove kidney disorders.

The kidney secretions caused me untold annoyance and I suffered from bearing-down pains in my back. When almost in despair I began using Doan's Kidney Pills and soon felt better. Continued use cured me and for five years I have enjoyed excellent health." Remember the name—Doan's. For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Odd Form Of Scotch Thrift. The Glasgow sanitary authorities have discovered a strange form of thrift on the part of a working woman. The one room occupied by her was stored from the floor to within three feet of the ceiling with cotton waste, on top of which she slept. The waste weighed two and three-quarter tons, and when sold realized £7 7s. 6d. The woman said she had stored it against the time when she could no longer work. Her employer, a fringe and tassel maker, allowed her, apart from her weekly wage, to take away useless waste lying on the floors of the warehouse after she had cleared up on Saturdays.

Barboux, the eminent French lawyer, who died recently, was well known as an after dinner speaker and had a wonderful fund of good law court stories. Perhaps the best of them is the conversation which Mr. Barboux declared that he overheard in the lobby outside the divorce court one afternoon. "Well, how did you get on?" "Splendidly. I got my divorce and care of the child. The judge was on my side, you know." "A friend of yours?" "Well—not a friend exactly. He used to be my wife's first husband." —From M. A. P. Time Hung Heavy On Hands. A Chinese laundryman in Oakland, Cal., recently had his troubles with a watch that habitually lost time. So he took the timepiece to the nearest watchmaker. "Watchee no good to Charlie Lee," said he briefly, pushing it across the counter. "You fixe him, oh?" "Certainly," said the watchmaker. "What seems to be the trouble with it?" "Oh, him too much by 'n' by," said Charlie Lee. "Harper's Weekly." The First Creamery. So far as known, the first creamery built in the United States was at Middletown, N.

Maryland Grand Lodge to Meet at Easton, Md., July 25. The twenty-first annual session of the Maryland grand lodge of Knights of Pythias, which will be held at Easton, Md., July 25, 26 and 27, promises to be one of the best attended in the history of the order in Maryland. The people of Easton are making great preparations for the entertainment of the delegates, and a number of social affairs have been planned. On the afternoon of the first day the uniformed rank, under command of General George B. Carter, will give a street parade. The conferring of the grand lodge degrees will then take place. Formal welcoming exercises will be held at night. Grand Chancellor George H. Watry of Baltimore has been indorsed for reelection by a number of lodges. The present officers are George W. F.

The next annual meeting of the Alabama state grand lodge, grand united order of Odd Fellows, will be held in Birmingham, beginning on Monday, Aug. 1. R. T. Jackson and O. W. Adams, chairman and corresponding secretary respectively of the local committee, are already getting in touch with the various subordinate lodges of district grand lodge No. 23. Matters of much importance to members of the order will come up for consideration. The committee of arrangements desires that each lodge send in the names of its delegates as soon as possible so that suitable assignments may be made. This is necessary in order that the local management may know how many delegates to prepare for Ex-Grand Master of America Edward H. Morris of Chicago will be present and preside over the deliberations. Names of delegates should be sent to Recording Secretary William Douglass, box G75, North Birmingham. NEGRO NEWSPAPER MEN TO MEET IN NEW YORK All Phases of the Profession to Receive Duo Consideration. The second annual meeting of the National Negro Press association will be held in New York on Tuesday, Aug. 16. President I. W. Thompson and his official staff are working hard to make the meeting one of interest and helpfulness to editors and newspaper correspondents generally. Every phase of the profession will receive due consideration. It is the desire of those in charge to have as many editors and correspondents present as possible. In order that real substantial work may be done all persons interested in the newspaper business are urged to attend the meeting. Besides the day sessions there will be a public meeting in the evening at which stirring addresses will be made by men of long experience who have achieved success as editors and writers. President Thompson will deliver his annual address at the evening session, and there will also be a general discussion. It is earnestly hoped that our men will make a personal sacrifice to get together at this particular time for a heart to heart talk on matters in which all are mutually concerned. The race needs the influence of its newspapers at the present time more than ever before. It will therefore be the aim of editors at this meeting to devise ways and means for a more systematic presentation of a stronger defense of the race along all lines through the columns of the press. The location of the building and the time the various sessions are to be held will be announced later. Dr. W. M. Moss Visits New Field. Dr. W. M. Moss Visits New Field. The Rev. Dr. William M. Moss of Norfolk. Va.. filled the pulpit of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ. Brooklyn, at both services on Sunday. July 17. Dr. Moss received the unanimous call of the church to become its pastor over three months ago. His visit to the church on Sunday was the first since he accepted the call. The pastor elect attended the session of the Sunday school in the afternoon and signed and presented promotion certificates to forty-five scholars. He will take official charge of the church as pastor Sept. 1. Let Johnson Stick to His Profession. The Chicago Conservator suggests that Champion John Arthur Johnson quit the pugilistic ring and cast his lot with politics and politicians. We do not agree with Editor Carey. Mr. Johnson is following the profession to which he has given many years of hard study and labor, and we believe that he can best conserve the interest of the race by keeping to that for which at this particular time he is best fitted. NEGRO RACE NOT INFERIOR. No Scientific Proof That Race Sprang From Distinct Root. Professor Hamilton of the University of California, lecturing before a class in sociology at the summer school of Northwestern university at Evanson recently, declared that the Jeffries and Johnson prizeflight proved to some extent the truth of the theory that the Negro no longer belongs to an inferior race. "The Negro has made wonderful progress in the last fifty years," said Professor Hamilton, "and no longer can be called the white man's inferior. In art, music, literature, in warfare, in business and in physical development he has made phenomenal strides. The recent prizeflight proves to some extent the truthfulness of the theory that the Negro is not of an inferior race. "There is no scientific proof to show that the Negro sprang from a distinct root, according to the view of Professor Halle, the German savant, but all evidence tends to support the theory that he is simply a branch of the Caucasian race, the same as the Egyptian, the Moor and the Hindu. "I believe that within 300 years the Negro will become extinct in America through the effects of intermarriage and climatic conditions." MACEDONIAN CRY HEARD. Attention Called to Lock of Business Enterprises in Louisville. In a recent issue the Louisville (Ky.) Columbian, which is so aptly edited by Dr. P. R. Peters, says all of the southern cities save Louisville are doing something for the uplift of the race along business lines. Here we have close to 45,000 Negroes—about 12,500 are voters—more than 15,000 including Jefferson county, and yet we have not a Negro hotel, not a first class modern restaurant in the city. No Negro dry goods store, no Negro bank and not a single first class Negro grocery store is in the town. Of course those who are in the business are doing the best they can under the conditions now existing. This is possibly surprising news to the outside world, and we hope the Columbian will continue to hammer away until our people shall have become awakened to the great opportunities which they are letting go by unused. PROSPEROUS YEAR FOR NEW ENGLAND BAPTISTS. Record Breaking Year In Liberal Gifts For Various Purposes. The thirty-sixth annual meeting of the New England Baptist missionary convention, which was held in New York in June, was a record breaker along all lines of its work. The financial assistance rendered to the various educational institutions and for home and foreign mission work was an encouraging feature. The appropriations were distributed in part as follows: For the work in Haiti, $107.76; for Africa, $50; for South American missions, $95.99; to the fund for the widows and orphans of deceased members, $250. Educational institutions helped were Virginia seminary and college, the Downingtown Industrial and Agricultural school and the National Training School For Women and Girls. The Howard Colored Orphan asylum was also liberally remembered, as were many other subjects of a charitable nature. The receipts of the convention proper were $1,082.18. This sum does not include the amount for board of delegates and minor expenses incurred for the week the convention was in session. Rev. Dr. W. A. Harrod, corresponding secretary of the convention, in a letter to the Rev. Dr. William A. Creditt, president, said: "The convention of which you are the honored president has broken this year all previous records. It has taken in, aside from the entertainment money, $1,082.18. It has aided twenty-one charitable causes touching all phases of mission work, home and foreign. Feeling that it is the duty of a good secretary to give you this information in an itemized form, I herewith inclose the same." Elks' Convention to Be Notable Affair Interest in the annual convention of the Order of Ellis to be held in Washington for four days beginning on Tuesday, July 26, runs high. Members of the order throughout the United States are expected to be in attendance. Since the consolidation of the two factions is an assured fact it is estimated that thousands of persons will go to Washington to witness the meeting between Messers, Atkins and Mills, the two principalis in the great controversy which is at last about to be finally concluded. Johnson May Attend Elks' Convention. Octavius V. Catte lodge. Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.

MINES AND BURIED TREASURES DISCOVERED. MINES AND BURIED TREASURES DISCOVERED. The mineral wealth of the South has hardly been scratched. Untold millions in gold, silver, iron and copper mines await the fortune man or men who discover their true location. A wonderful instrument called the Magnetic Needle has recently been perfected, which has been used with wonderful accuracy in discovering both mines and treasures. The needle has interchangeable parts designed for use to indicate the particular minesal sought for. Lost end buried treasures of money, gold and silver, are located. Successful miners and prospectors use these needles, but in the past they have been difficult to obtain. We understand, however, that the Prospectors and Miners Agency of Palmyra, Pa., handle a complete line of these needles and other mineral rods and would be glod to correspond with anyone interested in the subject. They issue a large catalogue which will be mailed free to anyone writing them. Address P. & M. Agency, I2S 2nd St. Palmyra, Pa. A SOLDIER OF FORTUNE. Of all the soldiers of fortune who have helped to make Latin America interesting in recent years, none was more picturesque that young Harper Lee, who nearly lost his life in the bull ring at Guadalajara the other day. Whether he will get well and take up bull fighting again, the Mexican dispatches have not yet made quite clear. It wouldn't be surprising if he did, for it isn't the first time that he has been reported dead. Last October the papers told how he had been badly gored while saving the life of a fallen picador, and it was supposed that the young daredevil would retire then. But he recovered, only to add still more daring performances to those which had already made him a hero to the crowd which follows bull fighting in Mexico. He was very popular down there, both with Mexicans and Americans, both with those who flock to the Plaza de Toros, as our crowds flock to the polo grounds to see the Giants beat the Brooklyns, and with those who, perhaps, considered bull fighting a cruel and barbarous amusement and kept away from it. That meant a pretty all-round popularity. To novelists thred of Herzegovina and unheard of little European courts and the Zenda scene, we commend this tall and agile young man, standing, sword in hand, awaiting the charge, in the dazzling sun of the Mexican bull ring, with the senoritas and soldiers and politicians and promoters—all that curious, vivid crowd—watching with bated breath. It has been said that he is a Harva.d mar, a Princeton man—all sorts of stories have been told about him. As a matter of fact, he isn't a college man at all. He came from Texas. His grandfather was Colonel George Baylor, a Confederate veteran and Indian fighter. He went to work, while a boy, for the Mexican Central Railway, and most of his young life—he is not yet thirty years old—has been spent in Guadalajara. Several years ago he took up bull fighting as an amusement, very much as young men up here go in sometimes for boxing. He began to appear as an amateur in the ring at Guadalajara, and there, it is said, he attracted the attention of an old Spanish bull fighter, who at once took the young gringo under his wing. Lee improved rapidly, and finally—like "Gentleman Jim" Corbett, for instance—became a professional. It is a lucrative business. He probably received $5000 "Mex." for each performance in Mexico, and a popular bull fighter makes a good many appearances during the season. As a money maker he compares favorably with an operatic tenor of the first class here; socially, his position is like that of a successful prize fighter. Often appearing at several smaller rings, Lee made his metropolitan debut in Mexico City about a year ago. In the minutest details of dress and deportment, Lee was all that the most dandy bull fighter should be. And everything goes by tradition in bull fighting. The ring was crowded to the roof. As the American tooread entered he towered by a head above the other two matadors. He killed his first bull, a powerful black animal, in slashing style, and the ring rang with the shouts of "El American!" and "Es otro Montes!" (He is another Montes.) Montes was perhaps the most famous of the Spanish bull fighters. — Collier's Weekly. The fascinating interest of the ancient ruins of Rhodesia, South Africa, drew the attention of the archeologists of the British Association during its recent meeting at Cape Town. Among these ruins the most conspicuous is the great Zimbabwe temple, which lies about 200 miles inland from the Indian Ocean. The oldest of the ruined buildings are believed to date back at least to the days of King Solomon. It is thought that they were constructed by Semitic colonists, whose chief object was gold mining, and who left indications of their worship of Baal and Ashtaroth, as described in the Bible. Experts believe that precious metal to the value of three or four hundred million dollars must have been extracted from the gold reefs of Rhodesia in ancient times.—Scientific American.

Foder, of Utah: If after two weeks of rainy, weather fol- lowed by one hour of sunshine a bi- cycler can speed along at a gait of eight miles an hour and sling no mud up his back; if after dry summer's traffie a funeral train can move over the road without raising the dust; it after several years’ use there are no perceptible ruts made by wagon wheels or horses’ hoofs, then we can pronounce “it a good road. Some of you may think this butan idle dream impossible of realization. You need but travel a little in some of the European countries before mentioned to undeceive yourselves in this re spect. Yon will find that such roads: are possible, and not only possible, but in the long run economical, In this country in extensive drives oF dieyele rides we rejoice when we ap proach a town, for there we expect to find solid roads. In most of the European countries, on the other hand, we rejoice when we get our of the towns, with their hard, rough paving blocks and reach the smooth, clean, country macadam. In this country. especially in the. western states, the plan is to make the high: way Wife enough to enable us to turn ont from mudholes and dusty tracks. In the old country the plan is to keen the road narrow enough to enable them to fix it properly. Land is valuable for cultivation but road ‘side weeds are a nuisance. THE ROAD. ‘The road is like a work of art—It incites the imagination. In this I con. tend that it is an educator of no mean worth. It promises a healthy interest in the brain. aud scraps of wisdom may be found scattered along the way for those who will, to pick up. There are ag many sorts of roads as there are many kinds of books. each sort filling its place. The grand turnpike, with its fine estates, speaking of wealth: the country byways, hinting modest contentment and ease; the toll yoad with its sate and its way side inn for travelers: the river road. following the stream now giving glimpses of the broad sweep and now Dut sparkles of light through the fol- liage as the trees obstruct the view. There ‘is the hilly road where one loses the view of the highway ahead as it dips down into the valley, only to rise with a narrowed gange on A further hill, and the wood road with its confluent paths and trails. One of the strongest Inres is the road built at a time when it was easier to 50 around or over a hill than through it: better to find a safe ford than to plunges anywhere into the stream or build a bride, The highway which goes straight. from one point to an- other is 2 sclentist and not a poct. Tt may be a fine servant, but as a friend and companion give me the mean: dering road with its constant sur prises, its mp-hill and down-dale, its sunshine and shadow. One which may be seen a mile ahead may be a fine seedway, hut it is not capable of rousing the imagination—Walter K. Stone in Recreation, THE MOVEMENT GROWING. ‘Many of the very foremost men of the country have declared in favor of National aid to good roads and the fecing is constantly growing that it should prevail. Of course, here and there we find it opposcd by sve- cious argnment and strained inter- pretetions of the coustitution. but this opposition cannot stand in the face of the practice of the govon- ment in road building many years azo, and at this day in Porto Rico, where we have constructed more highways in the nast five years than did the Spaniards in four hundred years: and in the Philinpines. where we cre building bighways every day in the year. There is more serious consid- eration being given to the subject of good roads today than any other that can be named. and as a question fraught with vital concern to the in- ternal commerce of the country and to its religious. educational and social advancement, it is a sure thing thot the call for national aid will have to he heard. It is not the farmer atone who is affected by bad roads: trade condi- tions are disastrously affected wher. ever bad roads exist. Good’ roads are necessary {o every voeation and every interest. ‘The cost of bad roads has been so often presented that repeti- tion would not strengthen argument, The main fact is the clear fact that bad roads are a curse fo the nation and a diszrace to our boasted Ameri- canism. There is necessity for gov- ernment aid to better roads and it ought to he extended with the least possible delay, In every civilized, country but ours, government has | festered improved highways. Wher- ever improved highways have‘ been | built the people are happier and the country more prosperous. In the United States there has been marve- lous progress notwithstanding bad roads.
