IN UNION THERE IS STRONGER HONORS PAID TO VERA CRUZ DEAD Funeral Services for United States Sailors and Marines Are Held. ADDRESS BY THE PRESIDENT Seventeen Bodies Brought by the Cruiser Montana Are Drawn on Caissons Through Streets of New York to Brooklyn Navy Yard. New York City.—President Wilson, congress and the nation paid tribute Monday to the memories of the 17 brave American sailors and marines who lost their lives in the fighting that attended the taking of Vera Cruz and whose bodies were brought back home on the armored cruiser for burial. The Montana arrived in New York harbor Sunday afternoon, having been met Saturday off the Virginia capes by Secretary Daniels and a party of navy department officials aboard the presidential yacht Mayflower. President Wilson came up from Washington Sunday night, and the congressional delegation arrived early Monday morning. Cortez Moves Through. City. When the Montana anchored off the Battery the bodies of the dead blue-jackets and marines were landed at once and placed on caissons which were parked on the south side of the plaza in the Battery and guarded by a detachment from the cruiser. At 9 o'clock Monday morning the order was given for the funeral cortege to move. It was a solemn and imposing procession, with detachments from the battleships Wyoming and Texas, the New York naval militia, the Spanish war veterans and numerous civilian bodies in line. A halt was made in City hall plaza in Manhattan, where school children chanted a hymn in honor of the dead. President the Only Speaker. The funeral services were held at the Brooklyn navy yard. President Wilson was the only speaker, and his address was an eloquent and touching tribute to the bravery and patriotism of the dead and a consoling of their bereaved relatives. Standing back of the president were the members of congress named to attend the services. The committee from the senate comprised Senator Robinson, Saulsbury, O'Gorman, Vardam, Gallinger, Kenyon and Brady. The house delegation consisted of Representatives Fitzgerald, Calder and Maher of Brooklyn and these representatives from the home districts of the dead men: Greene, Vermont; Dietrick and Thatcher, Massachusetts; Donohoe and Logue, Pennsylvania; Dale, Dooling, Goldfogle and Griffin, New York; Stevens, New Hampshire; Wilson, Florida; Walsh, New Jersey; Sabath, Illinois; Slep, Virginia; Bartlett or Walker, Georgia; Dupe, Louisiana, and Witherpoon, Mississippi.

Post, the cereal king of Battle Creek, Mich., was temporarily insane when he shot himself to death here was testified by his physician, Dr. J. C. Bainbridge, who appeared to the inquest. The verdict of the coroner's fury was non-committal, holding simply that Mr. Post died of the effects of a gun wound. Mr. Post was 60. His wealth was estimated at over $100,000,000. For many years he had suffered from neurasthenia, although lately showing signs of improvement.

MEXICAN FEDERALS LOOT CONSUL SAFE TAKE CODE BOOK, MONEY AND JEWELS ARTER JAILING AN AMERICAN OFFICIAL. Grave Developments Strengthen Belief That United States and Mexico Are Playing for Time Preparatory to Clash of Armed Forces. Washington, D. C.—Grave developments coming in quick succession strengthen the belief that both the United States and Mexico are merely playing for time preparatory to the clash of armed forces. Repeated protests from Huerta that the United States has violated the armistice kept the A. B. C. mediators in long and worried session, while the war department was meeting this situation by a conference between Secretary Garrison and all the officers of the general staff on the details of calling out a militia and reserve force of 250,000 men. As a preliminary, a muster division was established with John E. Wilson of the adjutant general's office as chief of the muster service. Early reports that Consul Silliman had been released from prison were shattered by detailed information secured by the navy department, stating that Silliman is still in jail despite repeated demands upon Huerta by Secretary Bryan for his release. The insult at Tampico fades into insignificance in comparison with the insult to the American flag and consul officers at Salillo, where Consul Silliman was in charge. After he was jailed by a federal detachment of soldiers his chief, John H. Marchenl, was arrested, taken to the consulate and forced to open the consul's safe. The code book of the state department was taken by the federals, together with money and jewels belonging to Consul Silliman. LABOR LEADERS WIN LABOR LEADERS WIN CONTEMPT SENTENCES IMPOSED UPON GOMPERS, MORRISON AND MITCHELL SET ASIDE. Washington, D. C.—The contempt sentences imposed by the district supreme court upon Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, labor leaders, were set aside Monday by the supreme court for the second time as barred by the statute of limitations. Justice Holmes, in beginning the opinion, said that contempts were not to be treated as conspiracies, a point urged upon the court in behalf of the labor leaders. Justice Holmes said the case turned upon the point that the contempt proceedings should have been started within three years from the date of the committing of the offenses. He said that proceedings for contempt should be speedy and thus come within the purpose of the statute of limitations, which require prosecutions within three years. Justices Pitney and Vandvanter dissented. Song Writer Dies. New York City—Arthur Gillespie, who wrote "Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder" and other songs almost as popular, died of pneumonia here, aged 46. Giant-Wave Damages. Chicago, Ill.—A sudden rising of the water of Lake Michigan in a phenomenon known as a 'sieche—resembling a tidal wave—wrought havoc along the Chicago water front Monday night. From Waukegan and points further north to parts along the Indiana shore the water rose in a six-foot wave that rushed inkore, broke boats from their moorings, upset small craft and frightened sailors whose memories did not run back so far as 1880, when a similar phenomenon occurred.

Oklahoma State League Prepared to Entertain the National Body Entertain the National Body. The city council of Philadelphia appropriated $5,000 for the entertainments of the National Negro Business league when it met in that city last August. Some idea of the co-operative spirit, race pride and race progress prevailing in Oklahoma may be found in the fact that the members of the State Negro Business league will themselves contribute $5,000 this year to entertain the National league when it meets in Muskogee in August. The various committees in charge of preparations for entertaining the national body are just as active, just as earnest now, three months in advance of the meeting, as if the meeting were but a few days off. Unquestionably the meeting this year at Muskegee will break all previous records for attendance, enthusiasm and results, as Muskegee will be amply prepared to take care of all who attend. One of the most enthusiastic race men in the state is T. J. Elliott. He has inoculated all with his enthusiasm. He is justly popular because he is an active quantity in every racial effort, and as president of the State league he is, figuratively, burning up Oklahoma. In Muskegee and in Oklahoma generally the race is bounding on to success, making rapid progress, educationally and materially. in spite of jimcrow car laws and grandfather distranchising laws. The first is effective because of the executive power behind it; the second is proving abortive because the colored male citizens are rapidly qualifying under the very law which was aimed at disqualifying them. The abortiveness of the second must eventually annul the first. Oklahoma has many splendid men and women of the race, and those are responsible for the great progress one finds among them. Fertile lands and great oil deposits are making Negroes rich out in the far southwest. NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST MISSIONARY CONVENTION. Annual Meeting to Be Held In Bridgeport, Conn., June 18. Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, LL. D., president of the New England Baptist missionary convention, has issued the following call for the next annual meeting of the convention: "Washington, April, 1914. "To the Pastors, Sunday Schools and the Various Auxiliaries of the New England Baptist Missionary Convention, Greeting: "The New England missionary convention will convene in its fortieth annual session at Bridgeport, Conn., with the Messiah Baptist church, Rev. Dr. W. N. Morton, pastor, June 18, 1914. God has abundantly blessed the churches during the year with peace, prosperity and large additions to their membership. This means greater responsibility and intelligent effort to put increased membership at work for the Master, as well as stimulate the true and tried who have borne the burden and heat of the day. We want this session to be a record breaker from a financial viewpoint. Spiritually our sessions are always inspiring and elfying, but we do not put forth sufficient effort nor make the sacrifice we should to raise money to carry on the work of the convention. All of us can send more money to the convention. Let us do so this year. "Our boards are calling for help. The widows' relief fund finds itself for the first time in its history without funds to pay the widows of deceased pastors what the convention orders. The churches should remember that the list of ministers' widows increases annually. Our faithful pastors, full of age and good works, are being called to their reward, and we are pledged to help their widows. "The home mission board is being flooded with requests of needy churches for aid to assist in paying for their property and contending for the faith at weak and destitute points in our conventional territory. "The educational boards must see to it that more money is sent to our institutions that we have fostered and that are doing a work that honors us as well as themselves. Virginia seminary makes the special request that we raise at least $500 to help erect our new building. This can be done if every alumnus of that institution will heed the call of his and her alma mater and if every old friend will renew his loyalty and keep the memory and work of Hayes, Bowling, J. B. Smith, Lee, Phillips, Miller and others alive. Union university, Clayton, Williams university and our own Northern university, located in and incorporated under the laws of the state of New Jersey, of which you will hear many encouraging things at Bridgeport, all call for help. Then there is our foreign mission work, which will never cease demanding our money until every knee shall bow and every tongue confess. "Open the doors wide to help our noble women in their work; encourage the people to give a larger donation to them, for they never waver in their support of the convention. They follow us everywhere and beautifully serve the churches and convention. Help and encourage them as you never have before. "The Sunday school convention is doing splendid work and must be supported. Send larger contributions and stronger delegations to keep the young of our churches. "Yours in behalf of the convention.

CONDITIONS DEMAND ACTION Platform of a Pennsylvania State Organization Which Has For Its Object the Promotion and Protection of the Civic, Industrial and Political Interests of Afro-Americans. Philadelphia. — There has recently been organized in this city a movement to be known as the Negro Protective League of Pennsylvania, with headquarters in the Keystone Aid building, southwest corner of Lombard and South Sixteenth streets. The president of the league is the Rev. Dr. William A. Creditt, recording secretary George W. Dawley and corresponding secretary Dr. R. R. Wright Jr. Among the other leaders of the movement are Bishop J. S. Caldwell, Rev. S. L. Corrothers, J. C. Asbury, Esq.; Dr. H. M. Minton, Editors Chris J. Perry and A. P. Caldwell, C. C. Dunlap, H. H. Cooper and E. W. Johnson of this city. Attorney W. Justin Carter and Robert K. Nelson of Harrisburg, P. A. Blackwell of Steelton, Maurice Rudge, N. T. Velor and R. C. Fox of Pittsburgh and other persons of prominence and influence in other sections of the state are interested in the movement. Purposes of the New Organization. The purposes of the league are set forth in the following statement issued by its promoters: "The Negro Protective League of Pennsylvania is an organization of Negroes of this state for the purpose of promoting the civic, industrial and political interests of the race in this commonwealth and of the country. "The necessity for such an organization is clear to every thoughtful mind, not alone because every other nationality, whether Jewish, German, Italian or Greek, has such an organization for its protection and the promotion of its interests, but also because these times, as never before, especially demand such an organization among our people. "In organization there is strength, and only with organization can we withstand the attacks made upon our every right and privilege. Certainly we cannot do so as individuals. We therefore must organize or go to the wall. The Negro Protective League of Pennsylvania stands for the protection of the civic interests of the race and the promotion of the same. When it is considered that our people are largely excluded from hotels, restaurants, places of entertainment and amusements in this state the need of such an organization becomes at once apparent. "This very day in Washington the majority party of the United States congress is hostile to the civic interests of our race. Not only have there been attempts to put a law against marriage on the statute books of the nation, but there have been attempts to segregate Negro employees in the various governmental departments and to introduce into the street cars of the capital city of the nation the nefarious separate seat law of the south. Spread of Lynching and Segregation. "We have seen nearly every prominent Negro officeholder of the nation put out of office and the places filled by white men. We have seen the segregation laws spread all over the country. We have seen lynchings run wild and uncontrolled. We have seen a lynching take place in fair Pennsylvania, and we have been unable to punish a single person who took part in it. Do we not need an organization to protect our civic interests? This is one of the purposes of the Negro Protective League of Pennsylvania. "But as bad as are the civic conditions, so much worse are the industrial conditions. Little by little we have seen our men and women driven from positions long held by members of the race and shout out from others by the labor unions. The Negro Protective league stands for the protection of Negro labor against race prejudice and other insidious evils. It stands for promoting efficiency and skill among Negro workmen, securing better positions for our men and women and better industrial training for our boys and girls. We desire to see our men who are well qualified put into positions worthy of their training and experience, both in private and public service. "The Negro Protective league stands for the fullest exercise of the elective franchise. We urge that it is not only a privilege, but the duty, of every man of color to vote. The Negro in this state and in the north in general needs to use the ballot not only for the effect it will have here, but also to protect the franchise rights of our brethren in the south. We believe that the Negro should vote for those men who stand by the race and vote against those men who stand against us. We should put every candidate on record as to his attitude upon the race question and see that pre-election promises are kept. "We see the need of this right now better than ever before, for just now the Democratic congress is doing all it can to humiliate the Negro." THE J. E. SPINGARN PRIZE. Former President Taft on Committee to Present First Medal. New York.—Ex President William H. Taft has accepted membership on the committee which is to award the Spong-medal this year for the highest or noblest achievement by an American Negro man or woman during the year just past. This medal, which is given annually by Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, will be awarded at the sixth annual conference of that association, which takes place in Baltimore on the 3d, 4th and 5th of May. The donor has made practically no restrictions upon the committee, giving it complete power to select the individual most deserving of the award. The phrasing used merely indicates that the medal shall be awarded, with appropriate ceremonies, "to the man or woman of Negro descent, citizen of the United States, who shall have made the finest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor; and the committee of award shall decide for itself in each year what particular act deserves the highest acclaim." This is the first year the medal is to be awarded, and there is the widest A. curiosity as to this probable choice of the committee. One clause in the deed of gift provides that the committee of award may withhold the medal in any year if no achievement seems to merit an award. In that event the committee is authorized to take the money, which amounts to $100 each year, and use it for the creation of one or more medals for use in the succeeding year or years as second or third prize. The committee on award, which its appointed each year by the directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, consists this year of Bishop John Hurst of the A. M. E. Church, Baltimore, who is chairman; President John Hope of Morehouse college, Atlanta; William H. Taft, Dr. James H. Dillard of the Jeanes and Slater funds and Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, the editor of the New York Evening Post. CHURCH EXTENSION BOARD. Report of Rev. B. F. Watson Shows Wise Disposition of Funds. Washington—The annual session of the board of church extension of the African Methodist Episcopal church was held in this city at the headquarters of the department. 1535 Fourteenth street northwest, Wednesday, April 29. Bishop Levi J. Coppin presided. The report of the Rev. B. F. Watson, the veteran and efficient secretary and treasurer of the board, showed that about $30,000 had been judiciously handled during the year, loans had been made to a number of churches and that a number had paid on account on money advanced them at various times. Besides auditing the accounts of Dr. Watson the board considered applications for aid from a number of churches. Dr. Watson was highly complimented for the efficient way in which he has conducted the affairs of the department. The receipts during the year included 8 per cent of the $220,000 collected by the financial department of the denomination. Besides Bishop Coppin and a number of visitors, the following members of the board were present: The Revs. A. R. Cooper, New York; R. H. Leake, Raleigh, N. C.; J. T. Gibbons, Huntington, W. Va.; Horace Graves, Chicago; U. P. Talbert; D. A. Christie, Orangeburg, S. C.; B. Lewis, Greenwood, Miss.; J. F. Griffin, Memphis, Tenn.; D. Miller, Houston, Tex.; E. Byrd, Jacksonville, Fla.; Jones Gordon, Arkansas; A. W. Hawkeley, Toronto, Canada, and F. Jesse Peck, Los Angeles, Cal. Anniversary of Hampton Institute. The forty-fifth anniversary exercises commemorating the founding of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute by General Samuel Chapman Armstrong were held in the gymnasium of the school at Hampton, Va. Friday afternoon, April 24, at 2:30 o'clock. The program was both inspiring and instructive. An air of gratitude for the opportunities afforded by the school for self help seemed to pervade the heart of every student. Preparations for the annual commencement exercises at the institute are nearing completion. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Huerta's Troops Evacuate City by Way of Railroad, Leaving Small Force to Cover Their Retreat—Believed All Americans Refugees Are Safe. Washington, D. C.—Tampico has fallen. Rebels under Gen. Gonzalez rushed across the Huertistas' last defenses Wednesday afternoon and at 2 o'clock were at hand-to-hand grips with the defenders in the main plaza of the town. Final confirmation of the report of the evacuation of the city reached the navy department here early Wednesday night in a dispatch from Admiral Badger, forwarding a report from Admiral Mayo that the rebels had driven the federals out of the stronghold they had been defending for weeks. According to the navy dispatches the city was occupied by the rebels at 1 p. m., when heavy rifle fire was going on in the plaza as well as a continuous artillery bombardment. Admiral Mayo learned from his informants who brought the news to his flagship from the city, that the federals had evacuated by way of the railroad, leaving a small force to cover their retreat. Later on the Mexican gunboats Bravo and Zaragoza came out and anchored near the foreign warships outside. Losses on Both Sides Heavy. The casualties on both sides were very heavy, according to information received by the navy department, but no estimate of the loss in killed and wounded could be made. It is thought that much damage to property has been done, though officials here are still without news as to the condition of foreign property. It is believed that all American and other refugees are safe. There was heavy rifle fire around Tampico all Tuesday, but only one field gun was used by the rebels, and it was fired at long intervals. Late in the day the constitutionalists charged on the inner line of federal trenches and carried it, and at 3 o'clock the firing ceased. It was not resumed until early Wednesday, when the final assault was begun. The federalists are said to have been very short of ammunition. At 1 o'clock the rebels had reached the plaza in the central part of the city, but that other parts were still holding out was indicated by the continued artillery fire. About that time, however, the evacuation was begun, the federal gunboats standing by to cover the troops' retreat to the railroad. After the federalists had entrained, leaving many dead and wounded behind them, the gunboats also retreated, going down the river and joining the foreign fleet off the bar. It is thought the federalists are retreating to San Luis Potosí. Mediation Plan May Change. Should Carranza and Villa obtain control of the government of Mexico, mediation will proceed with them instead of with Huerta—that is the mediation that looks to the general pacification of the republic. Counsellor Lansing indicated that there is no foundation for the suggestion that the mediators will propose a government ad interim by commission with a joint constabulary of Americans and Mexicans pending a general election. In a general way the mediation proceedings at Niagara Falls will be conducted according to the rules of The Hague. Crucial questions may be "passed over" for the time being to be returned to later and when other matters have been disposed of. For instance, if Huerta should reject the proposition for his unconditional abdication the mediators may put it aside and go on with the question of the salute of the flag, the charge that Gen. Funston has broken the armistice, or the charge that this country committed an act of war by the seizure of Lobos island, or the general charge that the United States is aiding and abetting the rebellion. Double Murder. Arson. Suicide. Nyack, N. N. Y.—Double murder, arson and suicide, according to the verdict of the coroner, caused the destruction of the family and home of Edward Kreger in the town of Pearl River. Mrs. Kreger strangled her eight-year-old daughter, Florence, the coroner decided, and then set fire to the house and burned her four-year-old son, Clifford, and herself to death. She was temporarily insane, in the opinion of the coroner. Rav Tribute to Dead Marines Philadelphia, Pa.—A multitude of people Wednesday honored the two sons of Philadelphia who died at Verna Crue, George McKenzie Poinsett, of the battleship Florida, and Charles Allen Smith of the New Hampshire. Nearly 75,000 persons paid tribute to them as their bodies lay in state in historic Independence Hall and tens of thousands lined the three-mile route over which slowly proceeded the funeral pageant that escorted the faggshrouded coffins on their way to the local cemeteries. IN UNION THERE IS STRONGER Chester B. Duryea, who killed his aged father, Gen. Hiram Duryea of New York, wealthy starch manufacturer, is supposed to be insane FARMERS' CREDIT BILL IS REPORTED MEASURE, WITHOUT APPROVAL OF PRESIDENT, PRESENTED TO LOWER CONGRESS. Government is Authorized to Issue Special Farm Loans Bearing Five Per Cent Interest to the Extent of $50,000,000 a Year. Washington, D. C.—The farmers' credit bill, designed to make easier the borrowing capacity of agriculturists on producing land and to encourage land owning over tenancy, was presented to the house by Representative Bulkley of the house banking and currency committee. The committee refused to permit the introduction of the farm credit bill, which has been prepared by a joint subcommittee of the senate and house, without the understanding that he would oppose its most vital features. The committee thereupon introduced the bill without the approval of the president, containing provisions establishing the principle of government aid to agriculture to which the president objects. Under the provisions of the tentative bill the government is authorized to issue special farm loan bonds bearing 5 per cent interest to the extent of $50,000,000 a year, the issue to be controlled by the federal reserve board. In the elaborate scheme for the administration of this new financial system for the country it is provided that national farm loan associations are to be organized, each to have not less than $10,000 capital stock in shares of not less than $25. These associations are authorized to make loans of current funds secured by first mortgages of farm lands within the farm loan district to be supplied by the association, and to buy and sell farm loan bonds and United States bonds, to buy and sell lands acquired, to buy and sell lands acquired in satisfaction of debts or purchased at sales under judgments, decrees or mortgages held by them. No loans are to be made except on first mortgage, each of which must take credit for reduction from the face of the loan through annual or semi-annual payments. Mortgages shall run for at least five years and not more than 30 years, and the loan may be paid at any interest payment date after the five-year period, either in cash or farm loan bonds. Loans are to be made only to liquidate indebtedness of the owner of the land mortgaged for improvement in farm lands, purchase equipment or stock, or purchase of a farm home. No loan is to exceed 50 per cent of the value of the land mortgaged and 25 per cent of the value of the buildings, nor to an amount in excess of $4,000 to any one borrower. Twelve federal land bank districts are to be established by the federal reserve board, with home offices in cities to be designated by the board. The farm loan associations of each district are to unite in one federal land banking association with nine directors, three to be appointed by the federal reserve board. Electrical Storm Plays Havoc. Sharon, Pa.—Thousands of dollars worth of damage was wrought during a terrific electrical and rainstorm here. Ex-Mayor Is Indicted. Athens, O. — The grand jury of Athens county has just returned 21 indictments against ex-Mayor Charles H. Slaughter of Athens, all charging embezzlement. The amount that Slaughter is alleged to have converted to his own use, according to the indictments, approximates $890. The counts charge thefts of $10 to $200, fines said to have been collected by the mayor. Slaughter protests his innocence, asserting faulty bookkeeping will account for the alleged shortage.

Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in The Gazette certainly care little, it at all, for it. Therefore, we urge our readers and all of our friends to patricinate those who ask for your trade in this paper. The county commissioners, Saturday, said they were about ready to take an option on a 28-room house on the Westside for a new girl's detention home.

Verdicts for manslaughter are not as good as those for second-degree murder because all the years for manslaughter must be served out, while records show that those convicted of second-degree murder are released from the penitentiary on an average of 10 years. Tom Mamlaughter was convicted of manslaughter and was sentenced the last of this week. Dr. B. H.

The senior and junior DuBois clubs will close the season with a grand sacred music, Sunday afternoon May 23rd at 10am. Some of our best local talent will participate and the public is cordially invited. Admission free. The reception for parents on Monday evening by St. John's S. S. board, brought out a new and excellent feature. The object was to create more interest and co-operation between teacher and parents. Amid beautiful decorations of palms and cut-flowers, each department superintendent from the "Cradle Roll" to the home department, outlined their duties in a most interesting manner. Each pleaded with the parents for their participation in co-operation, especially in home life activity. Daniel Fowler, president of the "Boys Club", gave an interesting talk, outlining its work. He is a very progressive young man and is hoping for great things in the near future. Refreshments and music by St. John's orchestra were other features of the evening. The concert given at Mt. Zion Congregational church, Monday evening, for the benefit of the S. S. Library, was a grand success in spite of the stormy night. The program was an excellent one from beginning to end. Madam Talbert charmed the audience with her rich voice. Mrs. Emma Rogers of Toledo, who possesses a rich contralto voice, won much applause from the audience. Loula V. Jones played, as usual, in his delightful manner, having to appear a third time. His third number, "The Rosary," accompanied by Madam Talbert's voice and piano, was very effective. The choruses by the young girls and boys were excellent, under her direction. Madam Talbert proved an excellent accompanist as well as vocalist. In a letter to the editor of The Gazette, under the date, May 8, 1914. Attorney R. R. Cheeks, secretary of the G. A. Morgan Hair Refining Co., wrote as follows: "Relative to the letter published in The Gazette, this week, from E. H. Krueger, attorney for A. Wesley Carpenter, I beg to say that when you published the article that the case against The G. A. Morgan Hair Refining Co., and Moses Dixon was thrown out of court, this was correct. I am sending you a card from the Municipal Court showing that the demurrier was sustained, and I am also sending you a copy of an amended petition filed by Mr. Krueger, Carter's attorney, since your article was published, putting the case back in court; also a copy of his first petition on which demurrier was sustained. Further than that the files of the court in this case are open for any one's inspection. A demurrier was in this case and Mr. Carter's attorney was compelled to file another pleading to get back in court. Another demurrier will be filed to his last petition." Daily Thought. "Impossible" is a word only to be found in the dictionary of fools—Napoleon Bonaparte. MINISTERS' ALLIANCE PROTEST: Denounce the Alleged "Mt. Pleasant Home" As Segregation, As Undemocratic, Un-Christian, An Entering Wedge of Jim-Crowism, As Retrocession and a Wide Step Backward. Mr. President and Brethren of the Colored Ministers' Alliance: We, our committee, appointed Jan. 20th, 1914, to investigate the alleged organization of a Home EXCLUSIVELY for COLORED children, bag leave to submit the following report: 1. We find that the Home on E. 126th St. is a private enterprise and has been mainly supported by one Chas. E. Stewart. Relative to the care of the children or condition of the children and make no commission since the institution is private, or, at the most, quasi public. 2. We find that a public home for Colored children, exclusively, has been projected, and a tentative organization has been actually formed, with officers elected, a membership fee decided upon, and membership blanks printed. 3. We also find that this proposed institution has the endorsement of Dr. E. A. Wellsted, member of the Cleveland Humane Society, and T. C. Wellsted, assistant secretary of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce. We, our committee, do hereby enter our most earnest and vigorous protest against the establishment of such an institution, for the following reasons, to wit: 1st—There is absolutely no necessity for such an institution. The city, the county and the state have made all of its dependent children, without regard to race, color, or previous conditions. 2nd—The multiplicity of such institutions simply increases the public burden and must, ultimately, lead to the increase of taxation, now already heavy. 3rd—The initiation of such an institution will inevitably lead to the displeasing undemocratic and unchristianity that will become the entering wedge of "jim-crowism" so detestable to all self-respecting Negroes, the world over. 4. Such a step is plainly and unmistakably retrogression, a wide step backward toward slavery and proscription, and a practical annihilation of the principles fought for, and obtained at the cost of much sacrifice, privation and bloodshed. 5. We are an English speaking people, thoroughly American, loyal to every interest of our government, and firmly believe in that perfectly democratic principle enunciated by Dr. Lyman Abbott, and our own Dr. Washington Gladen—"The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man." Respectfully submitted. ELAM A. WHITE, H C. BAILEY, CHAS. BUNDY, G V. CLARK. The above report was unanimously adopted by the Ministers' Alliance, Tuesday, Jan. 27, 1914. HOMES FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. As a result of Judge Addams' and Sheriff Smith's urging, the county commissioners are planning a large detention home for boys and girls, the boys' detention home on the west side and the one for the girls on this side of the city, being inadequate to meet the demand. An agreement with the Salvation Army Rescue Home and The House of Good Shepherd, in addition to the detention home at 2333 E. 43d St., are not sufficient to provide places for girls. Pending arrangements for a permanent and large detention home for both boys and girls, Judge Addams has asked the commissioners to rent the premises adjoining the present detention home for girls in E. 43d St., and a house on the West Side to supplement the present boys' detention home which occupies the two upper floors of the Detroit-West 29th St., police station. Supplementing the foregoing are, the home for boys at Hudson, and The Cleveland Girls' Home, opened at Warrensville, under the city department of public welfare, and immediately under the supervision of Miss Vera Schafer, 10214 Hampden Ave., N. E. in the face of the foregoing, will some one find the shadow of a good excuse for the existence of that "jim- OPPOSED TO "JIM-CROW" HOME. At a recent meeting of the City Federation of Women's clubs, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted and ordered printed in The Gazette: We, the City Federation of Women's clubs, do earnestly enter our protest against establishing the "Mt. Pleasant Home for Colored Children," there being no necessity for such a home, since our children are being better cared for in local institutions for all, we might such an effort and use every influence to wipe out the objectionable "Home" and any other, promoting discrimination and segregation. We, the women of the Federation, many of us belonging to the Auxiliary to the Juvenile Court and Human society, organized to assist in the work of placing and relieving dependent children, know the abundance of work done by our people and therefore, feel that such a step as organizing such a "home" is entirely unnecessary, non-progressive and an insult to our race, and do hereby entail a vigorous protest, placing ourselves squarely on record as opposing such a harmful movement, and as determined to use every influence to wipe it out. The statement being made, to the effect that the alleged "Children's Home" in Mt. Pleasant, has been $13 million in the one year, only aggravates the situation and, if true, but shows the determination of a few prejudiced persons in this community to establish and maintain, if possible, this segregation attempt and consequent color-line.

The Negro Baptist churches, writes a Chicago correspondent, face a difficult moral and social problem in the life of the community. It is only fair to say that much of this condition has been forced upon them. The worst side of the city has been left for them, and their principal street was for a long time the prolongation of our "White Hell" where is permitted barter in human bodies. It is not strange that over seven thousand five hundred negro men are employed in saloons and pool-rooms, or that their chief arterial street which stands in the very center of their social and business life, is just "one saloon after another." The influences of these demoralizing institutions upon their moral life, as well as other familiar and local institutions of even a lower type, is indescribable. We wonder if the negro youth trained in the religion of his home church far away, or even the youth of the present city churches, is trained to meet this. We are told that many of the people who come here were taught that religion was chiefly a state of personal joy and happiness. Anything that made them happy was allied to religion. The idea of the moral restraints and the social securities that are born of true religion are not sufficiently emphasized. To be happy, to be joyful, is to be religious, and to be secure. What a field of easy failure must open up before such a young life when transferred to the gallly-pleated streets, the challenging music of sa乐s and cafe;s and the richly-dressed women of the street; and how easily the traps may be set for a life that measures religion chiefly in terms of feeling, and falls away from its institutions and practises the moment that inner joy and happiness seems to be broken on the anvil of failure. A stranger in Rahway, N. J., bought a bag of potatoes and a 15-pound ham at a grocery store the other day and left them on the back doorstep of an aged resident named Thompson Thorne. With the supplies was this note: "This is returned to you today in honor of the fifty-first anniversary since you gave the same to an old, hungry soldier at Valley Springs, Va., during the Civil war." In Booker Washington's opinion race prejudice is no longer as violent as it was. By this he does not mean that the gulf between the races is being bridged—or should be bridged. But the black man no longer regards the white man as his natural enemy, nor does the white man scorn the colored man as he once did. "I used to hate all whites," said Washington, "but I got over that. That dwarfed and handicapped me. I have no time now to give to hate." "Uncle Jake," said he, "had been attending a conference. He found that he had but ten minutes to catch his train for home. So he called a hack. "I'm sorry, uncle," said the driver, but I've never hauled a colored man in this hack. If any one were to see you in it, it would ruin me." "White man," said Uncle Jake, "I can't got no time to talkin'. I des matchelly got to catch that train. You gin in de back seat and cock you hat on the back of your head and smoke dis se-gar—and I'll gin on de front seat and dribe de horse. Dataway you got your quarter—and I'll git my train." In an endeavor to increase the rice production of the Philippines the inular government is colonizing fertile but thinly inhabited valleys with natives taken from less fertile but more densely populated localities. More than 35,000 Irishmen left the cold sod last year. Chile imports more than one hundred cattle annually from Argentina. London has more than fifty public baths. In the possession of Viscensio Granville of Springfield is a pipe with a macercham bowl, brass topped, and a wooden stem, which has been used continually for approximately one hundred and three years. The pipe was first owned by his grandfather, an Italian doctor, and has cut on it the date 1811. The earliest known patent upon a submarine vessel was one granted by a French king in 1640 to the Scotch inventor of an under-water craft for purposes of salvage. Who would have supposed that the number of negro citizens whose names are on the payroll of the United States reached as high as 22,540? Of the colored citizens on Uncle Sam's payroll 4,526 are in the army, 1,529 are in the navy, and 2,140 are in the various navy yards and stations. Of the rest 6,347 are employed in Washington, and the remainder work in the government buildings throughout the United States. More minute statistics on the subject are supplied in a Washington dispatch as follows: Twenty-seven negroes are employed in the White House, 26 in the state department, 926 in the treasury, 170 in the war department, 174 in the navy department, 87 in the post office department, 43 in the department of justice, 164 in the department of agriculture, 239 in the government printing office, 41 in the interstate commerce commission, 115 in the senate office building, 46 in the congressional library, 171 in the Washington post office and 2,413 in the District of Columbia local government. In the department service outside of Washington 16 negroes are employed in the diplomatic and consular service, 1,082 in the treasury branches, 2,343 in the war department, 3,599 in the post office department, 31 in the interior department, 102 in the department of agriculture and 775 miscellaneously. There are 635 negroes employed by the government in New York, 670 in Chicago, 195 in St. Louis, from forty to ninety in the other large cities of the country, and 14,130 in miscellaneous towns. The aggregate sum drawn from the treasury in each year by colored employees is $12,576,760. Of the few American negroes who have found their way to West Africa to settle in the negro republic of Liberia 99 per cent are unprepared to meet the economic conditions and express regret at having left America. These, excepting a few who can not secure passage money, return to the United States. Some have been assisted by the American consul in securing passage on sailing vessels returning to America. Few, other than well-educated American negroes, can accommodate themselves to the existing racial, religious and economic conditions, the natives always considering them foreigners. There are some sixty thousand negroes in Chicago. The number has doubled in the last 15 years. This increase has come almost wholly from the South. This fact has to be considered in every problem which has to do with church comity. The social and economic pressure which stimulated this migration is increasingly active in spite of the fact that in the last ten years the negro has gradually lost almost every occupation that was originally his in the northern cities. Chicago, however, still has the reputation "of offering the largest liberty to all citizens of all colors and languages of any community in the North." Over forty-five thousand of these groves live on Chicago's South side. In the district bordered on the north by Twenty-seventh street, and on the south by Fifty-seventh street, extending three blocks eastward and westward are ten of the leading negro Baptist churches and seven Baptist missions with an aggregate membership of 6,000, and with a Sunday school attendance that would add 2,000 more. The Swiss department of the Interior is considering the advisability of establishing a central office for promoting foreign tourist traffic in Switzerland. It is proposed to call in a commission of experts and other interested persons in 1914 for consideration of the proposition to be presented by the department. Fashionable women in St. Petersburg are painting tiny figures on their faces and necks. Elephants, trees and geometrical designs are the most common patterns. More than one million dollars worth of raisins were exported from the United States in the last year, the quantity, 18,500,000 pounds, being in excess of any total exported any earlier year. Every married man believes that the household expenses could be cut in two if he only had a chance to turn his business acumen on the job. Home is the place to which some men go in order to get even when disagreeable things happen down town. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1914. BASERAIL The battle between Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker as to which one will pay the biggest income tax is now on. It's a point of honor with Ty to be the highest salaried player in the game. At the same time we are inclined to believe that Christy Mathewson under the new dispensation will at least be able to associate with the two great outfielders—New York Tribune. It might be said by some of its detractors that the Cardinal club would be worth more in the hospital than on the ball field. President Britton has taken out a general accident policy on the team for $250,000. The National league dark horses are the Dodgers, says Wilbert Robinson, leader of the Brooklynites. That's better than promising the fans a penant and finishing in seventh or eighth place, Robbie. Jim McGuire, ex-Nap manager, now coach of the Detroit Tigers, says the Clevelanders look good to him this season. Still we doubt if Deacon Jim would want to manage the Naps this season. The Reds' lineup reads more like the entries at a Turnerverein than it does like a ball club with Von Kolnitz, Miller, Yingling, Groch, Hobitzel, Herzog and Niehoff on the score card. Joe Boehling may reverse Frank Chance's prediction. The P. L. said that the Washington southpaw would curve himself out of the league, but Joe has learned to master the hooks. At an auction sale in London the other day a salt cellar sold for $28,000. That's nothing. Clark Griffith of Washington has a pitcher he wouldn't let go for twice that amount. The Beaumont club of the Texas league sold Outfielder Chick Edmison, only to purchase another of almost the same name—Earl Edmondson, from the New Orleans club. The Lincoln club of the Western league has secured Outfielder George Schirm, last season with Oakland in the Pacific Coast league, to take the place of Bill McCormick. In view of the fact that all the Sox recruit pitchers have been reported as marvels, isn't it strange that everybody's asking the question: "Can Walsh come back?". Jay Kirke, former Brave third-sacker and now holding down first base for Jimmy Sheckard's Cleveland A. A. team, is considered the most ferocious slugger in baseball. Connie Mack is a heartless wretch. He has signed another Indian in spite of the fact that he has the Indian sign on everything in baseball.—Philadelphia Telegraph. Manager Stallings of the Boston Braves has dropped two of his three Cubans, sending Pitcher Villazon and Infielder Gonzales to Savannah in the South Atlantic. Del Howard, the old Boston and Chicago fielder, who is now managing San Francisco, is 35 years old. He expects to play first base all season for his team. It is said that Jimmy Walsh has lost about a dozen pounds of his avoi-drupois since he quit the Athletics. He looks faster, both in the field and on the bases. Pitcher O'Connor, formerly of the Utica team, is coming back to the New York State league, having been signed by manager Noonan of Wilkesbarre. Connie Mack must expect to clinch the pennant by the Fourth of July, when even a Brickley can't make any thing better than the second string team. A Cleveland (O.) sporting writer—none other than Frank Rostock of the Press—picks Washington as a possible pennant winner this season. Manager Jennings of Detroit considers Dauss the best of his crop of young pitchers, despite the fact that he only weighs about 165 pounds. Even if the argument that the Feds are bush leaguers is true, they can draw a crowd as long as they put up an interesting fight. Herzog, Robinson and other managers declare they are going to use McGraw methods this year. Well, Connie Mack won't. Manager Clarke of Milwaukee broke all records for releasing players the other day when he cut off 11 players from his roster. Pitcher Hank Chellette, last year with St. Joseph, will this year wear a Denver uniform. Pitcher Willie Doak of the Cardinals starts off like a strikeout artist this season. Lincoln has released Catcher Tom Carney to Victoria of the Northwestern league. The St. Joseph club has signed the veteran Denny Sullivzn to play the outfield. J. Branch Rickey, who has undertaken the tough job of elevating the St Louis Browns from the cellar position, may inject himself into the game as a pinch hitter this year. Rickey will be a bench manager, but then, should the occasion require, he may send himself in as a pinch hitter. He always was a good batter, and may be able to save many battles with a well-placed base hit. He was a good club swinger in both the major and minor leagues. He retired from baseball in 1907, when he took up the job of coaching athletes at Michigan. Daniel Grimer may tell his grandchildren when that time comes, that he forced the great J. Honus Wagner to whiff vainly at the atmosphere upon his first appearance at the bat in 1914. The San Francisco club is prepared to give Pitcher Benny Henderson another chance. Henderson disappeared mysteriously from the training camp at Boyes Springs last week. Christy Mathewson nearly missed the first game of the season at Philadelphia because the proprietor of the Phil pass gate did not know the Giants' star pitcher. There is talk in Pittsburgh that Manager Clarke may make a catcher out of Ham Hyatt, so that the famous pinch hitter can be used more regularly. The St. Louis Browns, according to latest announcement, have turned Pitcher Fred Witte over to the Denver club of the Western league. Lester Channell, with both legs broken at some time or other, is worried more about a weak arm than he is about his underpinning. Walter Cartwright, regular third baseman last season, will be a member of the San Francisco club this coming season. Cincinnati has released Catcher Earl Blackburn to the Indianapolis American association club. SPORTING WORLD Playing against Ora Morningstar of Pittsburgh, in one of the games of the 14-1 balk-line billiard championships at New York, Willie Hoppe, the champion at 18-2 and 18-1 balk-line, established a new high run and high average record. Hoppe's high string was 134 and his average 30 10-13. George S. Connors, for the last 13 years trainer of the athletes of Phillips Exeter academy, will succeed the late Mike Murphy as trainer at the University of Pennsylvania. Lou Dillon, 1:58½, has produced a bay fly by The Harvester, 2:01. This is one of the few fews ever got by a champion trotting stallion out of a champion trotting mare. George Carpentier is credited with amassing a fortune of $70,000 out of his ring escapades. Happy is the man who can make a sum like that in his own country. A New York sport scribe asks: "Can Martin Sheridan come back?" Well, tell us—can Ty Cobb bat or can Walter Johnson pitch? Jay Gould is an example of what monopoly means. He holds a long-standing mortgage on the amateur court tennis title. Some London papers are panning American and Australian boxers for introducing fake bouts in England and South Africa.

NATURAL OUTLINE IS TO COME BACK Narrow Skirts and Other Exaggerations Have Had Their Day in Fashion. PARISIANS TURN FROM THEM New Modes Will Give Ample Room for Free Movement of Lower Limbs and Feet—Draped Tunics Also PARIS—in Paris the word 'ligne' has a very catholic meaning. It includes much more than mere outline, for it includes the mysterious impression conveyed by the majority of the ultra-smart women at some given period. Since my return from Monte Carlo I have been visiting the atelliers of several famous Parisian dressmakers and tailors, and in these atelliers I have carefully studied the "ligne" of the season, writes idalia de Villiers in the Boston Globe. It is charming, this mysterious "ligne," and it repeats itself with astonishing insistence. Chez Paquin, Drecoll, Worth, Refern, Droeillet, and others, the outline—generally speaking—is wonderfully picturesque and natural. Gone are the narrow skirts of yesterday, gone are the slashed and exaggeratedly decollete evening corsages. We are entering upon a season of poetic grace and absolutely "natural" outline. The newest skirts are sufficiently full to give ample room for free movement of the lower limbs and feet. In many cases these skirts are plaited, in others they are flounced, in almost every instance they are accompanied by draped tunics. It was specially at Paquin's that I noticed the wider skirts. Mme Paquin, who is a genuine artist, never advocated the exaggeratedly tight dress which made it impossible to walk up. A PICTURESQUE VICTORIAN COFFURE, for the NEW CROCOLINE EVENTING DRESSES less tiny steps were taken. In her models one always found some graceful arrangement of draperies which gave the impression of softness even at a moment when every dressmaker in Paris seemed trying to make dummy-gowns. Pretty Afternoon Gown. I saw chez Paquin, one of the prettiest afternoon gowns I have encountered this season. The skirt was composed of mastic-tinted charmeuse, and it fell in straight, full folds from waist to hem. There was a tunic, at the back, in mastic chiffon, and this tunic was bordered with a gathered frill. The corsage was of semi-kimono style, and it was drawn on over a delicious guipme composed of ivory tulle and Mechlin lace. There were two long sash ends falling in front, and these ends formed part of the corsage, which was slightly crossed at the bust. The sash ends were decorated with fine bead embroidery in faded pastel tints, and the same embroidery appeared on the pointed front of the corsage. Another Paquin gown—this time for dinner wear—was made of fine, black silk net, which was arranged in flat plaits from bust to hem, a broad satin sash molding the hips and falling low in front in "Fatima" style. The kimono corsage of black net was mounted over a dainty, decollete, bodice in flesh-pink tulle. This was a very simple dinner gown, but full of mysterious charm. In Worth's showrooms I noticed some handsome dinner dresses which recalled the Louis XVI period. The brocaded skirts used by the famous dressmaker are marvels or richness. They are almost all woven from special designs supplied by Worth himself and the harmonies of color are quite wonderful. For example, a dinner dress designed for the queen of Spain. The material was Lancre blue brocaded satin and there was a draped tunic of embroidered tulle which showed traceries of pale gold and dull silver combined. Exquisite Little Touches. A supply sash of blue mirror vel Riding a Free Horse to Death. Some people certainly believe in practising the twentieth century "Golden Rule," according to one of the social service workers of the Charity Organization society. That is, they believe in getting all they can while the getting is good. The charity worker had been visiting a family all winter, giving it coal and groceries. She became fairly well acquainted with the family and took a real interest in its welfare. One day when she called, the vet was cleverly wound round the waist and an exquisite, full-brown rose in the new shade of cyclamen-pink was thrust into the soft folds of the cross-over corsage. The queen of Spinia, like Queen Mary of England has set her face against exaggeratedly decolefte evening dresses. It is said that Queen Mary has gone so far as to request, privately, of course, certain ladies to retire from her presence when they have presented themselves in corsages cut down to the waist line in the back. The young queen of Spain is devoted to all the soft shades of blue, for day as well as evening gowns, and Worth has lately made several lovely costumes for her and also for her cousin, the crown princess of Rumania. The "natural" corset is more popular than ever this season. On that subject, at any rate, all the leading dressmakers seem to agree. The waist line of today is practically that of the famous Venus de Milo. No sign of pressure is seen anywhere. The bust and hips are made to melt into the waist, and the whole feminine form presents an appearance of natural grace and charm which is admirable from every point of view. Paul Polet, in particular, is very strong on the subject of "natural" waists. He has recently designed costumes for two—if not three—new pieces at smart theaters, and in all these gowns he has shown his determination to turn his back on anything like a small waist. The ultra-long tunic, or double skirt, introduced by Polet this season, may be said to be "sensational." This is a really curious fashion, which recalls the three-quarter length coats of the year 1880. There coats, or double skirts, are very long, reaching nearly to the hem of the skirt proper. They are shaped in umbrella style and lined with beautiful brocades, or with printed silks showing eccentric tuturier designs. In serge, silk-finned linen, brocaded silk, etc., these double skirts are distinctly decorative; some of them are buttoned right down the front, others are opened a little way down on either side, hand-some passemesterie trimmings covering these openings. It may be remarked that many of the new tunics are three-quarter length, and that in almost all cases these tunics are full at the hem and shaped at the waist. One of Mine. Cheruit's latest models is an evening gown with the ultra-long tunic which is now so popular. The material of this gown was shell-pink charmeuse and ivory-white tulle and the tunic was slightly stiffened at the hem. Early Victorian Copied. The picturesque corsell fall off the shoulders in early Victorian style and there was a folded walstand which molded the form. Cheruit—whose name stands for everything that is smart and original—is making a great many models in the form indicated in my sketch. The draped skirt gives a curious Turkish-trouser effect, though the skirt is really an ordinary one. These long tunics are likely to become very popular. They rather cut the figure when the wearer is not tall, but for slender women of good height they are very becoming. These tunics can be worn without any stiffening at the hem, the material being quite full and finely gathered at the waist and the frills or ruches at the border keeping the fragile material in correct position. Plaited tunics, in chiffon or tulle, are also very popular. These tunics look well when worn over clinging satin skirts, in such colors as Lancret-blue, japonica-pink, lemon-yellow, tango-orange and in all the crude empire shades of blue and green. A black satin skirt looks very elegant when accompanied by a long plaited tunic in black tulle, with the corsage in silver and pink-pink chiffon, with touches of black at the waist. Cotsages for Evening It is still the fashion to wear light evening corsages with dark satin and mirror velvet skirts. There is always a clever touch of dark color introduced in the sash and, perhaps, on the front of the corsage, but the latter may, itself, be in the plainest shade of pink or in oyster-white ambroidered in silver. The collure shown in the sketch is a revival of the early Victorian styles. The hair is slightly waved and drawn back from the forehead. At the sides it is loose and two "kiss curls" cover the ears. Here's the Latest Though clad in robes of cloth of gold, gorgeous brocades and in all richly hued materials, women who adopt the latest modes are now wearing filmy black underwear of nylon. This vogue for black is becoming very popular. Such lingerie is made as skimpy and of as little material as possible. A set consists of a night-dress, chemise and pantalons. This black underwear is entirely devoid of lace, but some garments have a contrasting bow of purple or orange. Black satin garters decorated with little orange-colored apples are often worn. Black is never long absent from women's modes, and this is particularly noticeable with regard to the black hat. To Clean White Lace The combination of a little chloroform with gasoline is the best thing possible to clean white lace that cannot be washed. This mixture will also successfully clean suede gloves. Use in the fresh air away from fire. mother said: "I have just finished these washings, and as you are going downtown and haven't anything else to do, you might just as well take these washings along and deliver them for me." Without waiting for an answer, she continued in the same breath: "And when you come out next week you might stop and get a washing or two for me."—Indianapolis News.

The following happened in a Manchester school the other day. The teacher had been speaking of unique and valuable collections of objects of art and interest, and spoke of the fabulous wealth that had been expended by some of the collectors on their peculiar hobby. Thinking to obtain some idea of the characters of the members of his class in this direction, he asked them what they thought they would like to collect if they had plenty of money. Up went the hand of a boy who was not noted for particular brilliance—in fact, answers from him were very scarcity on any subject; so this opportunity was seized by the teacher. "Well, Tommy, and what would you collect?" "Rents, sir," was the prompt reply. The lesson was changed, and that teacher is recovering from the shock. —London, Tit-Bits. Faithful to Her Charge The school teacher with the eagle eye saw a little girl chewing gum. "Mary," she commanded, "put that into the waste basket." The child looked as though she would like to obey, but couldn't. "Do you hear me?" insisted the teacher. "Put that wad of gum into the waste basket immediately." "Please, teacher, I'd like to, but I can't," was the quavering reply; "it—it belongs to my mother."—Boston Evaning Transcript. NOT DESPERATE.
