State street, who made a successful dive through the bankruptcy court not so long ago in order to run out from under about six thousand dollars worth of debts, which act on her part knocked out her army of creditors right, and left, has seemingly run up against more serious trouble with Coroner Peter M. Hoffman, who is by far the best coroner that Cook county has ever had and his able and gentlemanly assistants. It seems that on Friday, February 13, 1914, which they say is an unlucky day, that Flossie V. Emerson, who at that time resided at 49 East 29th Street, which is right around the corner from where the office of Dr. Schultz is located, called on the Dr. in company with one Minnie Shouse, who testified before the coroner's jury that during one of their visits to the office of Dr. Schultz that she stood right by her side in her private operating room when she requested Flossie Emerson to recline on the table and with her own eyes she behold the Dr. working over her kind of kinds of strange looking instruments that she requested her to stand farther away from the table while she was engaged in operating on Flossie Emerson, as she made her nervous by standing so close to it while crying and making much other noise, that after it was all over she ordered Miss Emerson to take several kinds of medicine, which she obtained at the Drug store of John H. Montgomery, 26th and State street, who wanted to be the Democratic candidate for elderman of the second ward at the late primaries, including some large black pills, that within four or five days after their first visit to the office of Dr. Schultz, Flossie Emerson became deathly sick and that she finally closed her eyes in death at the Lincoln Hospital. February 28th, 1914. At her death Coroner Peter M. Hoffman decided to do a little investigating, especially when he learned that Dr. Schultz was in some way or other connected with her death and on March 5th he started in to hold the inquest over her remains which were shipped to New York City for burial. The inquest was continued from time to time until Tuesday, March 24, when the case was wound up the six Colored Jurors rendering a split verdict. It was during the continuance of the coroner's inquest that Dr. Schultz, in company with two prominent White Republican politicians, with her head tossed high up in the air, proudly entered into the coroner's office in the county building and that during her short visit there she came mighty near in turning all of the office force up side down; that before withdrawing HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY from the office she engaged in a wordy combat with Dr. Joseph Springer and came within a race of stilking him in the face. At that point the two big White Republican politicians fairly flew out of the coroner's office and tore out down the hallway like unto fast race horses and they gladly and willingly washed their hands clean of the whole affair or mess. It is said that they, the two politicians, requested Coroner Hoffman not to permit the newspapers to publish their names and out of the most profound respect for Coroner Hoffman none of the newspapers in this city published their names in connection with their visit to his office. It is asserted that while Dr. Schultz was in the Coroner's office, she maintained that Deputy Coroner Hermann and Julius F. Taylor, had shook her down for $100 in the Ruppert case a few years ago, at the time Mrs. Ruppert's death occurred. For our part, at no time and place, have we ever exchanged one word with Deputy Coroner Hermann, in fact, he was only pointed out to us once at a distance and we would not recognize him again unless some one would take the trouble to point him out to us. But at that time we did succeed in inducing one of our political friends to sign a $5000 bond for Dr. Schultz. As stated before, the Coroner's jury disagreed at the last session on Tuesday, and the following is their verdict and the list of witnesses who testified before it and Coroner Hoffman will in the near future appear before the grand jury and present his facts and information, pertaining to the unnatural death of Floesie Emerson.

And from the evidence presented, we, the jury, are unable to agree upon a verdict as to the manner by whom said abortion was induced. We, the following jurors in this case namely, E. H. Miller, John Granderson and Jesse L. Edwards, are of the opinion from the evidence presented that said abortion was induced by one Doctor Anna B. Schultz, alias Anna B. Knighten at her office located at No. 2719 S. State Street on Feb. 16th, A.D. 1914, and we therefore recommend that the said Doctor Anna B. Schultz alias Anna B. Knighten be apprehended and held to the Grand Jury on a charge of murder until discharged by due process of law. And we, the following jurors, in this case namely, J. H. Hightower, John Pitman and Bud L. Henington, from the evidence presented are unable to find anything in the evidence that implicates the said Doctor Anna B. Schultz alias Anna B. Knighten, as being guilty of inducing said abortion and are unable to determine how in what manner or by whom said abortion was induced.

One faction of the ladies who are in favor of the Young Woman's Christian Association, met on Tuesday afternoon, March 24, at Johnson's Hall, 3518 S. State street. Mrs. Elam, chairman of the meeting. HARMONY MEETING TO BE HELD BY BOTH FACTIONS OF THE LADIES WHO ARE IN FAVOR OF THE YOUNG WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. A citizens' committee to further the work of a Y. W. C. Association will meet in executive session to consider a consolidation of the two committees, viz.: one of Phyllis Wheatley Home, under the direction of Mrs. Elizabeth Davis, and the Citizen's Committee under the supervision of Mrs. Eva Jefen. The meeting will be held at Johnson's Hall, 35th and State Sts., Monday, Mar. 30th, at 2 p. m. Tuesday, March 31st, at 2 p. m. a public meeting will be held at Bethel church, and a Monster Demonstration will be held prior to the $10,000 rally which will begin April 1st. Mrs. Chamberlain, President of the Y. W. C. Ass'n (White), will be the speaker. All women are cordially invited to be present. By all means, the ladies representing both factions of the movement to start a Young Woman's Christian Association in the city, should bury their differences, so that they can stand close together and hold a large get-together meeting, and permit peace and harmony to prevail in their laudable effort to raise $10,000 to move forward in that proposed new movement, which should receive the hearty support and consideration from all those who are in favor of providing a safe home for the many young Colored girls and women too, for that matter, who flock to this city unprotected from the Southern states and other sections of this country. Under no consideration will the (White) Y. W. C. A., on Michigan avenue, permit young Colored girls or Colored women; no matter how respectable they may be, and how highly recommended they may come, to enter it; there is no place or room for them to light nor to tarry within its walls. So it is up to the Colored people themselves and most especially the Colored women; regardless of their religious belief or non religious belief, to heartily join hands together in a united effort to accomplish that object and establish wholesome and pleasant quarters for the new comers to this city so that there will be no further Judge Charles M.

ANDERSON, AFTER A LONG LEGAL FIGHT, HAS PUT IT ALL OVER CAPTAIN GEORGE WELLINGTON STREETER AND HIS LAWYERS. Our brilliant criminal and habeas corpus lawyer, W. G. Anderson, after seven years of hard fighting in the courts, and as predicted in The Broad-Ax over a month ago, finally won his fight to obtain possession for himself and others the celebrated "Streeterville" tract of land, commonly known as the "Deestrict of Lake Michigan" last Monday afternoon before Judge Charles M. Foell, of the Superior Court, before whom the matter of dissolving the temporary injunction secured by Capt. Streeter's son over a year ago, has been pending. battles in which Attorney Anderson has been engaged. But he won on the technical construction of the law, in which branch of the law he is recognized by the leading White lawyers as an expert. The Captain had agreed to pay Mr. Anderson $10,000 for securing his discharge under a life sentence for murder but on his refusal to pay, Attorney Anderson went into Court and got a judgment against him before a jury in Judge Chytraus' court for $10,000. Then he levied on Streeter's land sold it at Sheriff's sale, buying in five For over two hours Attorney Anderson and Streeter's son's lawyer, Joel F. Stevens, Esq., fought a hard battle on technical points of law for the courts decision. So masterful, eloquent and brilliant was the legal argument of Attorney Anderson that Attorney Stevens practically had to concede the position taken by Attorney Anderson was the right and just one, based on the law, and after Judge Foell, who had heard both these disciples of Blackstone on more than twenty prior occasions on the same subject matter, had listened to the two hours of oratory by both sides, while the other litigants looked on, finally called "time" and handed down his decision, dissolving the temporary injunction issued over a year ago by Judge Dever, restraining Sheriff Zimmer from issuing deeds to the purchasers at the Sheriff's sale Dec. 19, 1911. By means of the decision Attorney Anderson obtains Sheriff's deeds to five blocks of the choice disputed land, worth approximately about $3,500,000, while the other purchasers whom Mr. Anderson also represented before Judge Foell, obtain the remainder, worth more than $20,000,000, the total land and improvements being worth about $25,000,000. By virtue of Judge Foell's decision Attorney Anderson holds Sheriff's deeds to more land than any other Colored person in the United States, amounting to about $3,500,000. Attorney Anderson says that he believes Streeter's original claim to the "Deestrict" to be superior to any other person or persons and that he expects the higher courts to sustain Streeter's title, which will make all parties interested immensely wealthy, at any rate he says the people who claim the land adversely to Streeter must "settle up," and on any settlement basis he will obtain about one-seventh. Over seven years ago Attorney Anderson obtained Capt. Streeter's discharge from the Joliet Penitentiary on a writ of habeas corpus issued by Judge Edward Dunne, the present Governor of Illinois, after one of the hardest legal excuse for young Colored women and older ones; strangers within the city, rushing headlong to ruin and everlasting destruction.

But he won on the technical construction of the law, in which branch of the law he is recognized by the leading White lawyers as an expert. The Captain had agreed to pay Mr. Anderson $10,000 for securing his discharge under a life sentence for murder but on his refusal to pay, Attorney Anderson went into Court and got a judgment against him before a jury in Judge Chytras' court for $10,000. Then he levied on Streeter's laud, sold it at Sheriff's sale, buying in five choice blocks of the property for himself; the Sheriff's deed to which he now obtains after over a year's hard battle in court. Capt. Streeter claims to have "discovered" or made the land in the following manner: The Captain was Captain of a small boat known as "George Wellington Streeter," which was bound for Chicago in the summer of 1882. An unusual storm broke out just as he was approaching Chicago and when within 450 feet of the shore land off Superior Street his boat became stranded. It stuck there. The storm subsided at the end of a week and it found Streeters oat surrounded by a newly made island. Capt. Streeter finally got to shore in a small boat and conceived the idea of making a walk to his boat by means of dumping dirt. The sand continued to make new land around his boat and the walk and the Captain had thousands of loads of street sweepings dumped on either side of the walk and around his boat and in the course of five years over 160 acres of land was made. He settled on the land as a "squatter" and built him a home and the land thus became known as "Streeterville." Among the new owners of the land by virtue of Judge Foell's decision are the following persons: Attorney Anderson, 5 blocks (about 1-7 of the total land); H. Ellenbogen, Julius F. Taylor, Isaac Wexelman, Chas. Camp, Jno. C. Chamales, Thos P. Conroy, Wm. Hartman, H. W. Boerner, Jacob Bzdek, Carmine Roberts, S. R. Little, A. J. Rath, Wm. Abbey, Geo. Lanterbach, Andrea Filiipi, P. M. Demetrion, S. N. Pappastomation, Wolf Cohn, Estate of G. H. Blackburn, M. Stan and wife, P. M. Damskis, Geo. Connors, Frank Dulleck and others. The public will watch the future developments of this remarkable case, and the writer with hundreds of Mr. Anderson's friends, hope that his expert technical knowledge of law will show him a way to make the millionaires who claim this land adversely to Streeter either "get off" or settle up. Thomas P. Conroy, president of the Conroy Tank and Boiler Company, 47th and Leavitt streets, late democratic candidate for alderman of the 30th ward, may be induced by his many friends to become a candidate for ward committeeman this coming fall. He and his charming wife, Mr. Conroy, who reside in an elegant apartment at 830 West Garfield Boulevard, own 58 lots in Streetsville, and Mr. Conroy may become the president of an association which will fight to the bitter end to get into possession of all of the land in the District of Lake Michigan.

CITY WIDE CAMPAIGN FOR $5000 ALL FOR THE BENEFIT OF DEPENDENT COLORED GIRLS. The welfare of orphan and dependent Colored girls has won the active support and interest of a large number of White and Colored citizens. The result is a united effort to raise $5000 to adjust the indebtedness of the Amanda Smith Industrial Home, and to put the property in first-class condition, with all the necessary facilities to give our Colored girls the tuition and training which they so well deserve. The city wide campaign to raise this money has been instituted as a result of joint efforts of the Trustees and Managers of the Amanda Smith Industrial Home and the Amanda Smith Industrial School. The two corporations are working hand in hand for the purpose of adjusting the indebtedness long standing against the Amanda Smith Industrial Home, and then improving the buildings and the property so that the Industrial School will be able to carry on effectively the work that it has undertaken for our dependent girls. The leading spirits of this movement are well known friends of dependent children. Their long experience in dependent school management especially equips them for the work of building up the Amanda Smith Industrial Home. These ladies, Mrs. Chas. Henrotin, Mrs. Esther Brophy, Mrs. D. M. Buffington and Mrs. Lyon, are devoting their lives to the work of helping dependent girls, and recognizing the urgent need of dependent Colored girls, for more efficient care and training they have undertaken to place the Amanda Smith Industrial School on a substantial foundation by clearing the Home of debt and improving the buildings and adding improved equipments to the Institution so that the Colored girls will in a measure have an opportunity for their education and training equal to the dependent girls of other nationalities. The city wide campaign is projected to raise funds and every interested person is invited to take part. Subscriptions and donations may be solicited and entertainments will be promoted to raise the funds. The Colored people will take active interest in the hope of raising a large amount of the sum required. West Side citizens will have a grand rally about the middle of April, and similar rallies will be had on the North and South Side. One projected feature of the south side movement will be an old fashion spelling match, open to everybody, and all persons that can spell in the English language will have a chance. Prizes will be given to the best representative speller on the West, North and South sides and a grand prize will be given to the best speller in Chicago. Prizes will also be given to the juveniles so that the young folks can try their hand at spelling as well as the adults. No charitable movement in Chicago is better deserving of public interest and support than the present one for our dependent Colored girls, and citizens of all classes and conditions should unite in this campaign so that the money can be raised, for the only Institution in the state of Illinois, chartered as an Industrial School for Colored girls and make it a credit to the community and to the Race.—"C." CARE OF CONTAGION. SCARLET FEVER. MEASLES. In scarlet fever, practically the same rules of quarantine apply as those laid down for diphtheria. The object in all quarantine cases is to keep the patient in and the public out; or to make it a little broader, to enforce so far as is possible, the complete separation of the sick from the well. In a general way then, all of the regulations pertaining to diphtheria apply to scarlet fever; the chief difference between the two diseases is duration. This means that while a case of diphtheria may be and often is terminated within a period of two weeks, the average case of scarlet fever will run twice as long before it can safely be terminated and disinfection performed. In scarlet fever as in diphtheria, whenever it is found that complete isolation of the patient cannot be had, hospitalization will be enforced; and if this is found to be impossible for any reason then the case will be handled under such conditions as to restraint, as the Commissioner of Health shall deem best calculated to protect the public. It is understood, of course, that no children from a quarantined household may attend school. And the rules as to carding the quarantined premises must in all cases be observed. In all cases of scarlet fever the patient will be held in quarantine until it has ceased peeling, and until there are no discharges from the cars and nose and no inflammation of the tonsils. As a rule, five weeks is the period during which a case of scarlet fever may be expected to run; but in exceptional cases this period may be shortened or prolonged, depending entirely upon the favorable or unfavorable progress of the case. At the termination of a case of scarlet fever, disinfection will be performed the same as a case of diphtheria. MEASLES. This disease is highly contagious and unless properly cared for is one of the most dangerous to child life. It kills by causing inflammation of the air passages and lungs and maims by causing diseases of the eyes and ears. Parents should not purposely expose their children to measles. The safe rule is to avoid such exposure if possible, as 98 out of 100 children that are exposed will come down with the disease. It is generally believed that measles is most contagious during the first four or five days of the attack. Early symptoms of measles are coughing and sneezing with eyes red and watery, after which, as a rule, the rash makes its appearance. Children with these symptoms should be kept out of school, or if found in the school room, should be sent home. The patient and all others who have not had the disease must remain in the house except if there be an enclosed yard not used by the children of other families living in the same premises, all but the patient may have the freedom of the yard. Adult members of the family who can give satisfactory evidence that they have had the measles can go about their necessary business and live at home. Also children of the household who have had measles may be permitted to attend school provided a physician certifies in writing his personal knowledge to that effect. All cases of measles must be reported to the Department of Health by the doctor, parents or guardian. Handkerchiefs, bed linen and similar articles must either be soaked in an approved disinfectant solution or boiled. A warning card must be placed on the door, and all the rules here given must be observed until the Department of Health removes the warning card. THE LIBERIAN EXHIBITION AT THE CHICAGO HISTORICAL SOCIETY AND THE LECTURES ON THAT COUNTRY WERE HIGHLY INSTRUCTIVE. Monday evening the exhibition of Liberia was opened at the Chicago Historical society, Dearborn avenue and West Ontario street. It consists of many of the products of that far off country, which are very interesting to behold. In fact the exhibition is more in the nature of a running history of Liberia. George W. Ellis who was for 8 years secretary of the American Legation at Monrovia; Ernest H. Lyon, who resided in that Republic for 5 years, the only established Negro Republic, on the west coast of Africa and the second in the world, and Prof. Frederick Starr of the University of Chicago delivered short and highly interesting talks on Liberia. The Umbriain Glee Club, under the leadership of Prof. Pedro T. Tinsley, rendered the Liberian National Hymn, and it was heartily enced. Dr. O. L Schmidt ably presided. Quite a number of representative Colored men and women were present. Saturday evening, April 4, Prof. Starr will deliver an illustrated lecture at the same place, entitled "Liberia, the hope of the Dark Continent," and at the end of his lecture on that date will mark the close of an exhibition, illustrative of the history and condition of Liberia. NO SPECIFIC CURE FOR TUBERCULOSIS. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND UNITED STATES PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE DENOUNCE PAKES. WILL START CRUSADE OF SUPPRESSION. In spite of the statements of a number of individuals who have recently claimed that they have found a "cure" for consumption, The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, the highest authority on this disease in America, in a bulletin published today declares that there is no information at hand to justify the belief that any specific cure for tuberculosis has been discovered which deserves the confidence of the medical profession and the people. Backing up these statements, the United States Public Health Service declares that outside of the three essentials in the treatment of consumption, namely rest, fresh air, and good food, "there is no drug known however rare or expensive it may be that has any curative action in this disease, and all remedies advertised as such are to be avoided. Patent cough medicines are harmful; radium, X-rays or electricity in any of its forms have no special value in tuberculosis of the lungs. No serum has yet been found that will cure it, and there is no plaster or poullet which has an effect on the disease itself." The National Association is planning in the near future to institute an extensive campaign for the suppression of the numerous fake consumption cures, which are annually cheating the public of the United States out of no less than $15,000,000 and besides are depriving numerous innocent victims of the chance for a real cure. Consumptives who are taking remedies of this character will be warned through advertisements and in other ways against the danger of such procedure. Any person desiring information with regard to consumption cures or the treatment of tuberculosis may obtain literature and advice from the office of The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, 105 East 22nd Street, New York City.

Much Needed Institution at Hampton Har Angola Medton Equipment. Has Ample Modern Equipment. Hampton. Va.-The new Dixie hospital connected with the Hampton institute in this town was recently completed at a cost of over $70,000. The building fund donation list shows that Dr. Albert Howe of the Hampton institute was able to secure the hearty co-operation of the people of lower Virginia and of many others throughout the country. The hospital with its excellent equipment will minister to the needs of both white and colored people living in Hampton and the neighboring communities. Dr. Howe says in his report; "The new building is pleasantly situated on the shore of Hampton creek amid trees which add much to its attractiveness and comfort, and is very accessible, being on the car line, but far enough removed to insure privacy. There are four wards of ten beds each and two overflow wards, which have been finished off in the third story, to be used when necessary. There are fourteen private rooms, a diet kitchen for them and one for the wards on each floor; a finely equipped operating room, with sterilizing and dressing rooms for physicians and nurses adjoining; the necessary administration offices, dining rooms for staff and for nurses, kitchen and serving rooms, and over these, separated from the hospital by a brick wall, are twenty rooms for nurses. "Both building and equipment equal if they do not surpass any hospital in the state and give opportunity for a far wider scope of usefulness in the future. The Dixie is the only public hospital on the peninsula, and many cases come to it from Cape Charles, Williamsburg and the surrounding country. These as well as the immediate community will reap the benefits of its increased facilities. The new nurses' home will enable the training school to enlarge its number and to add to the efficiency of its graduates. "About $9,000 must still be raised to complete the payment for building and equipment. The report of the building fund shows that about $63,000 has already been given, but extras over the contract price and the cost of grading and equipment are large, and of the meager furnishings of the old Dixie little was worth transferring to the new. In looking forward to a large future the accomplishments of the past year must not be forgotten. Nearly $50 patients have been cared for, and the medical and surgical reports show with what excellent results. There have been twenty-four nurses in training. They have come largely from Virginia, but various parts of the south and west are represented, and among the number are two Indian girls. "The nurses recently had an opportunity to prove themselves in an emergency when the laundry, a frame building closely adjoining the nurses' home, was destroyed by fire. It was well after midnight when the fire was discovered, and it had gained such headway that the other buildings were in danger. Undoubtedly the flames would have spread to them had not the nurses formed a bucket brigade and kept walls and roofs wet until the Hampton fire department arrived. While they were unable to save the laundry, their prompt assistance prevented more serious damage." If the proposed music trust becomes a reality stockholders may have to fork over the high notes. As babies can no longer be sent by parcel post some people will wonder what they are going to do with them. This would be a happy world if people would always wear the smile they do when they have their picture taken.

In an address to a large gathering of farmers at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute recently Dr. Booker T. Washington in part said: "Time and money spent every year by farmers coming here in large numbers will be thrown away unless each one is determined to get something out of this farmers' conference that he can take home and put into practice himself. If each one will do that these meetings from year to year will be worth while. "Many of us here in the south fall to realize as farmers the value of time. We are continually talking about the saving of money, but time is just as valuable as money. "In not a few sections of the south are people throwing away the days of December, January and February, but they are just as valuable as the days in March and April. In every one of these months something can be done on the farm. Ditches can be put in order, fences repaired, stables and outhouses improved, the land turned over by deep plowing, root and grain crops cultivated, seed corn selected, tools repaired and the dwelling house improved. "To be perfectly plain, too large a proportion of our race spend the winter months waiting until the 1st of March, when they expect some white man to begin making 'advances' to them. We have now been free fifty ears, and I know that throughout the past the white man—and the colored man, too—is getting tired of carrying so many Negro farmers on his back year by year through the system of 'advances'. We ought to be able to help ourselves more, to carry ourselves, to provide enough grain, meat, vegetables and other food to carry us from year to year without having to go in debt to buy what ought to be produced on the farm. "County or community can only grow wealthy as it has a large number of individual producers. If a man has only what he can buy at a store he does not increase the wealth of the community. Now, after fifty years, let us be free. If the colored farmers will make up their minds to work every month in the year, teach their wives and children to be continually producing something in the way of vegetables, poultry, milk and butter, while the husband is doing his part in raising something to sustain the family, it will not be necessary for them to get 'advances' from anybody. Give your wives and children a chance in the house. At present you make them help you in the fields, so that they have no chance to plan meals, to raise vegetables or to can fruit. Give them a chance and they will make and save as much as you do. "White people throughout the south are beginning to see that the kind of farmer who brings prosperity to the county is the one who produces more than he consumes, owns a little piece of land and has some money in the bank. This kind of man becomes an asset instead of a liability to the county in which he lives. When this kind of man drives into town on Saturday the merchant, the banker and everybody else welcomes him, because he brings into town more than he takes out. "Cultivate a little land well and see that your house is fit to live in and that your wives and children have a chance to work in the house instead of in the field. Instead of investing a little extra money in more land, put it into your house, build a bathroom and make the home in every way attractive to your children. There is no set of black people anywhere in the world who are permitted to occupy such a rich, genial and beautiful section of the country as we are. Let us make up our minds that we are each going to do our part to develop the farms, the gardens, the orchards, the stock, the poultry, the fruit, the vegetables, and have the best of everything, including houses. "In proportion as we do this there will be less effort to replace us by another class of farmers. No matter what anybody says to the contrary, the average southern white man likes the Negro, likes to have him near him. In the great, big fundamental things of life he is ready to encourage him, to help him and to protect him. Any people who can change from the type who used to come here at the beginning of these conferences to the good looking, intelligent men and women who are here today is a great people." Trustees Close the Eagleville School. The Pennsylvania Industrial School For Colored Children, known as the Eagleville school, against which complaint of incompetence in management was recently made, has gone out of existence. The twenty-one children who were in the large farm building back of Eagleville have been removed and distributed among their parents or guardians in Philadelphia. The distribution was made under the direction of Roy Smith Wallace, who acted at the instance of the trustees of the school. He was assisted in handling the children by Miss Kate Brusstar, secretary of the associated charities in Norristown, Pa. New Laboratory at Shaw University. the president and faculty of Shaw university, Raleigh. N.

The old laboratory was burned some time ago, and the school has been greatly handicapped since. CAMES AND DUCHETERS.

Dr. Katherine B.

A crimson flush overspread his countenance, but the exchange was made after some hesitation on his part. Then he grabbed his hat and started to leave the room. "Why, where are you going?" she asked in surprise. "To the—er—florist for more roses," he called from the front door.—London Opinion. Deformed Characters.

By Ticket Only. Mrs. Lovelace had a new maid not long over from Scandinavia. She was not quick to learn, but what she did learn fixed itself solidly in her blond head.

One day appeared a certain Mrs. Furbelow, a crony and familiar of Mrs. Lovelace and one not accustomed to the formality of cards in that house. The new maid refused to let her in. She blocked the door with her substantial bulk and spoke firmly. "You must give up your ticket first," she said - New York Post. Roundel.
