London, Dec. 24.—For the first time since the beginning of the Balkan peace negotiations at St. James palace there is firm confidence among diplomists that a peace agreement will be negotiated within the time allotted for the conference and that the international situation as regards Austria, Hungary and Servia will be amicably and permanently settled. This confidence is based on the action of the Turkish delegates in receiving the Greeks as accredited members of the conference and their failure to renew their demand to be permitted to reprovision their beleaguered cities and fortresses, which means that they have yielded on that point. In consequence of Turkey's more amicable attitude Dr. Danef, the chief Bulgarian delegate, did not insist on the immediate surrender of Adrianople. He submitted all the other demands of the allies and they were taken under advisement by the Turks. Austria submitted an encouraging communication to the ambassadors of the powers, saying she considers the Balkan difficulties nearing a satisfactory end. Austria also notified the powers of her acceptance of the Servian apology and commented favorably on the proposed agreement whereby she grants Servia port facilities on the Adriatic without actual territorial possession. BOLD BANDITS HOLD UP TRAIN BOLD BANDITS HOLD UP TRAIN Robbies Cut Off Engine and Baggage Car and Escape With Loot Estimated at $50,000. Springfield, Ill., Dec. 24.—Hold-ups are believed to have taken $50,000 from the express car of the "Alton Hummer," which they stopped at Iles, three miles south of here. The robbers, two in number, cut off the engine and baggage car and compelled the engineer to run down the track several miles. The rest of the train, with all passengers, stood at Iles until the Springfield sheriff and Alton detectives, who went to the scene on a special train, found the locomotive and the express car and brought them back to Iles. The train then went on its way. The booty the robbers got was in packages, supposed to be Christmas presents, of which the train was carrying an unusually valuable lot. Four charges of dynamite were fired in vain efforts to open the safes in the express car. Has Four Plums Left Columbus, O., Dec. 24—Gov.

ADVISES GIRLS TO COPY MISS GOULD ADVISES GIRLS TO COPY MISS GOULD MINISTER COMMENTS FAVOR ABLY UPON COMING MARRIAGE OF PHILANTHROPIST. PREDICTS SUCCESSFUL MATCH BAYS HEIRESS CHOSE A GOD- FEARING AND GOD-LOVING MAN FOR MATE. Philadelphia, Dec. 24.—Rev. James B. Ely, the well known minister of this city, addressed the Presbyterian ministers meeting here and in his talk he took occasion to comment on the coming marriage of Miss Helen Gould. Dr. Ely said: "There never was a time in our country's history when there were so many unhappy homes and it might all be obviated if there was more practical Christianity in them. Don't Wed Unbelievers. "If husbands and wives would get right with God first they would speedily get right with each other. The real trouble is that too many foolish, trusting women wed men who are unbelievers. They fon ly imagine that because of their love and influence the man will stop his profanity and other bad habits after his marriage. "The example that Miss Helen Gould has set in choosing for her husband a God-fearing and God-loving man is one that every young girl in the nation ought to follow. It will do more to solve the home problems than 10,000 sermons on divorce and I expect that it will turn out to be one of the most successful matches that have ever been made. Select Right Partners. "Marriages like this will show what will result if men and women will only follow their best judgment, that is, to select life partners who worship the same Master and have the same ideals. Miss Gould has shown time and again much human sympathy and her future husband is a man thoroughly schooled in the same life that they have found much happiness in. The same problem here is solved even before the wedding and I wish all young people would follow their example. "From what I know of my own church I can well say, if the majority of the women in it have chosen to remain single they have done wisely, for the average marriage is not calculated to be anything but a life of worldiness." Shepard Keeps Mum. New York, Dec. 24.—No task in all his 16 strenuous years of railroad experience has been half so irksome, says Finley J. Shepard, who is to marry Helen M. Gould early in January, as maintaining an outward semblance of calm while the major portion of New York's population is staring at him. Monday Mr. Shepard entered upon his transferred duties as assistant to the president of the Missouri Pacific, Iron Mountain and Denver and Rio Grande railroads. "Just say that I am busy as usual and scratching my head in perplexity," he said. "I am not at liberty to make public any of our plans. As a matter of fact, they are not yet completed. We shall be married soon. A good trip to some good place will follow." MAKES APPEAL FOR BABIES Coroner Says 125 Infants Have Starved to Death in Allegheny County in Three Months. Pittsburgh, Dec. 24. — Samuel C. Jamison, coroner, in an appeal to the public to buy Red Cross Christmas stamps, made the startling announcement that within the last three months 125 babies have starved to death in Allegheny county. "Hundreds of others are dying of disease resulting from malnutrition and lack of proper food," he said. "It is for the sake of the babies that the public should buy these stamps. There is a veritable slaughter of the innocents in this country every year." Tells of Police Lobby Chicago, Dec. 24 - Evidence of the payment of thousands of dollars by the United Police, the Chicago policemen's union, for the expenses of committees appointed to influence legislation, was brought out in the investigation by the civil service commission into the operations of the organization. Edward J. Drennan, former secretary of the United Police, testified that $3,144 was paid one committee for "expenses" in visiting Springfield in the interest of the police at a session of the legislature.

BOSTON GIRL REJECTS LIPTON Debutante daughter of Mayor Refuses to Accept Title from Sir Thomas When Lail at Her Feet. Boston, Dec. 24.—A title was laid at the feet of a fair Boston maid when Sir Thomas Lipton was here—and rejected. Miss Rose Fitzgerald, debutante daughter of the mayor, was the maid who declined to accept the baule and the story has just come out. Here is the story as the mayor tells it: "Following the banquet at the Copley Plaza some personal friends, 25 or 30 of them, joined us in an informal tete-a-tete. Some young girls and some married women were trying to get Sir Thomas to commit himself as to the girls he had met and particularly as to his rumored engagement to a Denver beauty. Finally he said: 'If you want to know who Lady Lipton is going to be, she is right here in this room. Stand up, Rose,' speaking to my daughter. "I won't accept you, Sir Thomas. You are too fickle,' my daughter replied. After the laugh had subsided Sir Thomas remarked, 'at last I know how it feels to be rejected.'"

FREDERICK SCHOFF THINKS ALL TOTS GOOD Prior to 1899 Mrs. Frederick Schof of Philadelphia, known as "the wom- an Judge Lindsey" of Pennsylvania, and the originator of the juvenile court movement, had never even thought of a public career. Today she is the president of the National Congress of Mothers, and the acknowledged leader of 70,000 American mothers; one of the an Judge Lindsey" of Pennsylvania, and the originator of the juvenile court movement, had never even thought of a public career. Today she is the president of the National Congress of Mothers, and the acknowledged leader of 70,000 American mothers; one of the largest organizations of the kind the world has ever known. According to Mrs. Schoff's theory "there are no bad children, only bad parents, bad guardians, and evil surroundings," she says: "If the child is bad, the parents are the real criminals, and if we cannot teach them to bring children into the world properly, to nurture them properly and to train them properly, we had better punish the parents when the child does wrong." The child's wrong doing can usually be traced to the ignorance and neglect of the parents, and she believes in order to remedy this and to bring the children up into healthy, happy and useful citizens, that it is necessary to better the condition of the parents. The incentive that led to Mrs. Schofb becoming the champion of unfortunate children occurred one May morning a little more than a decade ago, as she sat reading the morning newspaper in the library of her luxurious home in Philadelphia, when the startling headlines on the first page, "A Prodigy Crime" caught her attention and she became interested in an account of how an eight-year-old child had deliberately set fire to the house in which she lived, burning it to the ground. The child was arrested, brought before the presiding judge, and as the girl herself admitted she had started the fire "to see the fire burn and the engines run," she was sentenced to the reformatory. It was found on investigation that the little girl had been left an orphan at the age of two years and placed in a home, but recently had been sent to a city boarding house, where she was acting as helper and general household drudge. Her only companions being ignorant servants. Many a mother in that "City of Brotherly Love," read those starring headlines, though justly shocked at the seeming depravity of the little wolf, felt also a thrill of pity for her; for there were mothers who had not forgotten the day their little girl had started a fire out of similar curiosity, or "just for fun;" however, the paper was laid aside, and the newspaper phrase which has been the means of redeeming thousands and thousands of juvenile offenders against the law was soon forgotten by all but one great-hearted woman, whose eyes followed her own three little daughters as they played about the room. What if it had been one of them! Her heart went out to that mother-children child, and within an hour she was removed from her beakered judge, who declared he had no place to send her. This made Mrs. Schofl more determined than ever to rescue the child, and to learn more of the law that branded little children as criminals and send them to reformatories. Horrified at the existing system of handling juvenile criminals, she immediately began the work of investigating the local conditions. Her efforts, after ten years work, resulted in the establishment in Philadelphia last June of the first juvenile court in Pennsylvania. ENGLISH WOMAN HOLDS PUBLIC OFFICE 17 YEARS For no less than seventeen years Henry has been a member of the if seventeen years a member of the Newbury (England) Rural District Council Every man or woman voter in that country will be called upon to elect members for the rural district council's next March, and, in the opinion of Miss Henry, it is of the utmost importance that an increased number Newbury (England) Rural District Council. Every man or woman voter in that country will be called upon to elect members for the rural district councils next March, and, in the opinion of Miss Henry, it is of the utmost importance that an increased number of women should stand for election. At present, of about sixteen thousand councillors, only one hundred and thirty-four are women, and during the last seventeen years the number of women serving on rural district councils has somewhat diminished. There are many matters to do with the workhouses, the hospitals, the housing and the care of children of a district that only a woman can fully understand. Although the time she has devoted to her work has meant giving up much of her social life, Miss Henry finds it so fascinating that she does not regret this. Miss Henry was only a girl when she was first elected. Broken Neck Is Not Fatal. After living five months with a broken neck, Harold Million of St. Joseph, Mo., succumbed to Bright's disease. He suffered his injuries at Gulde Rock, Neb. Jpne 30 last when he dived into shallow water in the Republic river.

BALDWI HEADS NEW DEPARTMENT of all nations—be a harsh name for them — are hard at work throughout the world. They wear frock coats and stovepipe hats and are received hospitably wherever they go. Governments welcome them. Manufacturers and bankers freely talk to them and often entertain them at their homes. for them — are hard at work throughout the world. They wear frock coats and stovepipe hats and are received hospitably wherever they go. Governments welcome them. Manufacturers and bankers freely talk to them and often entertain them at their homes. Were they spies in a war of arms, instead of a war for money, they would be shot as soon as found. If they learn of a valuable trade process, they are likely to lay hands upon it and send it home. Some of them will enter factories and buy blueprints of new machines from mercenary employees if any such faithless workmen happen to be around. They watch new buildings for hints in construction and study tariffs and the rates of land and water transportation. German spies — able and technical men, speaking English and making no secret of their activities — are posted, in every part of the United States. Many cities, having the trade scouts of foreign countries right in the thick of their own affairs, often overlook them, unless there is a monument to Kossuth or Rochambeau to be unveiled, or the British-Americans hold a runion with Caledonian games, or the "Wacht am Rhein" is sung at a festival of merry and unforgettul Teutons. At the same time American spies overrun the earth in all directions. Once they were big-voiced politicians uttering ready and maybe shady recollections of state and national conventions and voicing boasts of their intimate relations with senators, governors and judges. Nowadays, however, the words, "American consul," stand for something very much better than loud eloquence on the stump or party diligence in wards and precincts. Then there are special and extraordinary spies, or commercial agents, as they are called, with roving commissions, who travel the globe in a search for facts and the guarded discoveries of industry and applied chemistry. In a sense, Albertus H. Baldwin is captain of the spies, common and uncommon, stationary or itinerary. The consuls, officially, are employees of the department of state. Mr. Baldwin, however, is permitted to call on them for information, and copies of their trade reports go over his desk. So they are auxiliaries to his own staff, which numbers more than eighty men. Moreover, under a new law, he is to observe and help domestic trade within the United States—to keep tabs on sales here and abroad and to promote all kinds of business whenever and wherever he can.

After graduating from the common schools he entered Purdue university, where he took the law course. Returning to Paris, he hung out his shingle and by sheer force of character and ability has won a place among the best lawyers of eastern Illinois and western Indiana. Encouraged by the results of the congressional election of two years ago and the disturbance in the Republican party last spring, leading Democrats of the district determined to forestall the Cannon program by nominating a candidate strong enough to attract the support of the whole party and attract those Republicans who wanted Cannon defeated. Announcing himself as a progressive Democrat with no strings tied to him, O'Hair went forth on a "get acquainted" tour of the district and amazed old campaigners with the instant success that he met everywhere. Attired in an old suit of clothes and a slouch hat, with good cigars bulging from every pocket, he visited every village, town and crossroads community in the district. This meeting of the voters at their homes, coupled with his unassuming and friendly manner and a ready command of the homely stories that appeal to the rural people, was something new. While "Uncle Joe" was stumping the district on a special train accompanied by a lot of other candidates, O'Hair was helping the farmers stack and thresh their grain, or was admiring their stock while pleading for their support.

THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair. The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I, alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to fall, the "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of disease, for it is a fact that hair in an uns sanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.

NUTS IN FOOD COMBINATIONS. Nuts contain so much nutrition that they should be used more generally as a food. Those who object to the use of meat may find a good substi-ute in nuts. Savery Nut Loaf.—Any nut loaf mixture may be served in the form of croquettes with peas or a tomato sauce, making a satisfying luncheon dish. Take a cup of chopped nut meats, walnut or hickory, add four cupfuls of breadcrumbs, a chopped hard cooked egg, a well beaten egg, a half teaspoonful of pulverized sage, a medium sized onion, grated, and sufficient milk or water to molten the mixture. Mix all together and roll in the form of a loaf, bake in a small bread pan well buttered. Bake about half an hour. Almond Cookies.—Mix a pound of ground, blanched almonds with a pound of sugar, add a tablespoonful of powdered cinnamon, a tablespoonful of powdered cloves, five cents worth of anise seed, and the yolks of four eggs well beaten, flour to make a stiff dough, adding the well beaten whites of the eggs before the flour. Roll out and cut with fancy cutters. Bake in a moderate oven. Peanuts With Rice—Cook a cupful of rice until tender; while hot stir in a cup of peanut butter, stirring until well mixed. Then add a half cup of milk, a cup of cracker crumbs, leaving out enough to spread the loaf, and two well beaten eggs. Make into a loaf, roll in crumbs and bake in a moderate oven. Nut Mince Pie—Take a cup of nut meats and two cups of apples, cut fine, a half cup of vinegar, a half cup of water or other fruit juice, a half cup of sugar, a cup of raisins, a salt of salt and half a teaspoonful each of cinnamon, cloves and powdered orange peel.

J., Nov. 25, 1912. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazzette, Dear Sir—Have been intending for a long time to throw several "boquets" your way: 1st. Because your paper ACTUALLY ARRIVES REGULARLY ON TIME!!! In a 27 years' experience with Negro newspapers and periodic als, I find your record UNPARALLED! And as an evidence of the honesty and sincerity of this compiment, I enclose "one hundred cents" ($1) to be added to my subscription from date. 2nd. Because your paper is sound on race issues and is both educational and enlightening on every topic handled. I enclose copies (during the campaign just closed) to friends in Delaware, Pennsylvania, Washington, D. C., and Maryland, and I think it helped them to "stand by" and "stick to" the Republican party. 3rd. Because your paper is aggressive and progressive in race principles—you call a spade "a spade," and do not refer to it as "an agricultural implement whose utility is undeniably constructive and destructive." You are fearless and courageous in denouncing the wrong—be it committed by friend or foe; you are equally outspoken in defense of the right, where strict justice has been omitted. I admire the brevity and clarity of your editors and have used them to settle political disputes more than once. I only wish I was in a position to resolve my GOOD WILL into a more substantial and permanent form. However, allow me to wish you health, happiness and great success as a Thanksgiving day present, with the other compliments of the holiday season. Yours, etc. (Rev.) Geo. Wilson Brent.

CLERKS FLED INTO VAULT Breaking Trolley Sounded Like Earthquake in Atlantic City and Workers Are Panic Striken. Atlantic City, N. J.—Half a dozen clerks were standing near the big vault in the Chelsea National bank in this city, discussing the earthquake. Their backs were turned toward the street. Suddenly there came a blinding flash, as though from a huge ball of fire, followed by a rumbling noise. The clerks, terror-striken, and without waiting to investigate, took it for granted that, another earthquake had visited the city, and they considered the safest place was the big vault. Into this they jumped, and, pulling the door shut, awaited developments. They waited for a long while, but seemingly nothing happened. Then they tried to open the vault door, but could not. It was some time later when the cashier, missing the clerks and noticing that the vault door was closed, opened it, and found the young fellows nearly smothered. A big campaign banner, water soaked from the rain, had fallen across the trolley feed wire, breaking the wire and causing the flash and explosion which the clerks noticed. The breaking of the feed wire tied up trolley traffic on the lines for nearly two hours. BABY IS BLOWN OFF SHIP Gocart Floats on Ocean but Child Falls Out and Is Drowned Before Aid Reaches Her Melbourne—A dispatch to a local paper from Hobart says that a baby daughter of Mrs. Henne Larnock was carried overboard from the deck of the steamer Adelside and lost. The mother was wheeling the child in its carriage along the deck when some women passengers addressing her caused her to leave the handle for a moment, and during her brief absence a gust of wind filled the top of the cart and the light vehicle was whipped over the rail. For some hundred of feet it was carried like an airship and then it somersaulted into the sea. A boat's crew was immediately lowered and the carriage was easily picked up, but the little one could not be found and after several hours spent in the vicinity the crazed mother, who had to be locked in her cabin, was compelled to proceed without her baby. It is said that had the little one been strapped into her cart she would very likely have been saved, for the wooden carriage would have kept her afloat until the ship's boat would have reached her. ROW OVER PASTOR'S VOTE Popularity Contest Brings Charge of Padded Returns at Woodbury, N. J. Woodbury, N. J.—Among the congregation of the three colored churches in this city there has been for some time a good deal of controversy as which had the most popular pastor. Finally it was decided to put the matter to a test vote, each voter contributing five cents for the work of the three churches. The contest ended, as was the exciting count concluded trouble was prepitched which may go somewhat further. According to the count Rev. Mr. Groves had 1,140 votes; Rev. Mr. Harris, 640, and Rev. Mr. Hersey, 227. Pastor Harris at once accused Pastor Groves, the high man, of padding the returns by buying $25 worth of votes with his own money at the last minute. Pastor Groves sniffed and said he had the votes all the time and withheld them to the last merely to see how far his opponents would go. Pastor Harris now claims that he has 1,400 votes, and a recount may be asked. The Chicago policeman who took a bribe of fifty cents is actually, as his wrathful superior declared, a disgrace to the force. Any man who could make such pitiful result of such brilliant opportunities has too little intelligence to remain in a responsible official position. Mona Lissa, the picture that so mysteriously vanished from Paris, is now reported to be in Russia. Given a little more time and patience, the lady of the inscrutable smile will be found finally to have circumnavigated the globe. A Cincinnati woman claims to have married a man without a fault.
