Dancing Every Thursday Evening at Barksdale's Academy, THIRTY-FIFTH YEAR. No. 33 IN UNION IS STRENGTH. SONS OF RICH ARGENTINE LAND OWNERS LEARNING HOW TO CARE FOR THEIR INHERITANCES HOME TRAINING HAS BEEN POOR Hitherto They Have Drifted Into Extravagant Life of Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires, Argentine — One of the foremost problems as present in this country of millionaire land owners is the practical training of the mons of rich farmers to enable them to take a useful place in the conduct of the large enterprises which they inherit. It is comparatively easy for these, young men to drift into the luxurious, extravagant life of Buenos Aires and to follow the example of many who spend their vacations in Paris and their time while at home in the rich clubs or at the race courses. Here, as in many a republic of South America, the old Spanish ideals of living comfortably without work, persist among the wealthy classes, and the shoobs that are founded and carried on to counteract directly these deteriorating influences seem all-too rare. A visit to the Instituto Ward, a commercial school carried on largely through the munificence of George P. Ward of New York, in memory of his mother, is an instance of going thousands of miles away from home in order to learn of the far-reaching philanthropy of American business men. The-Instituto Ward is charmingly located in a typical large Argentine home, in Rivadavia, the beautiful residence, boulevard of the capital. In this institution there are gathered at present half a hundred of the picked sons of wealthy "estancia" owners from different parts of Argentina. The boys find here, "not only a school where they are taught mathematics, bookkeeping, stenography and, type-writing, but also a place for development of the character, which is even more essential just now - or, these stratectic pioneers of this new country. As a rule, these boys come from homes where little attention has been given to their moral uprearing or discipline. Their fathers, in many instances, have made money so fast through the rise of land values that they have been fairly bewildered by the superabundance of their wealth, and the result has been a growing belief on their part that money, quite regardless of character, is enough of endowment with which to start their sons in life. With the closer contact with foreigners in trade, and also by reason of the visits of some of those South Americans to the United States, the impression is slowly making its way felt among them that in order to fit their boys for competition in the enlarging enterprises of the republic they must have a knowledge of the English language, some all around physical training and, more than all, a more careful attention to their personal habits. It is for this reason that such private institutions as the Instituto Ward are chosen by Argentines in preference to the Government commercial schools, where little attention is given to the kind of training that has made private preparatory schools in the United States like the great public schools of England, the training places of many of the men of great integrity and of leadership. When the boys come to the instituto Ward they are placed at once under a regime of discipline which is regarded as vital to the development of their manliness. They fall at once into a school routine of regular hours, rising with the other boys at 6:15 a.m. and taking their gymnasium drill before breakfast and the class work of the day begins. The afternoons between 3:30 and 5 o'clock are devoted to recreation and special personal interviews with the teachers in relation to their studies. The school has first-class football and basket ball teams, which compete with other teams in the neighborhood, and the idea of fair play and good sportsmanship which these games are giving to the youth of schools throughout the world is being instilled in these future business men of Argentina. The religious element is not neglected, and each evening after dinner the students meet in the large drawing room for songs and a semi-devotional exercise. A brief talk is given by one of the 12 efficient teachers who make up the faculty of the institution. As the boys live in the home, careful attention is given to the way in which they spend their evenings, and at 9:20 every student is expected to retire.

HERE ARE SOME GOOD JOBS For Persons Seeking Employment—Dundy's Bond Due to Personal Friends. St. Louis, Mo.-Dr. Leroy N. Bunny, who two weeks ago was admitted to bail, on producing signers for real estate in the sum of $28,000, twice the bond, was released solely because of the world of Mrs. Bunny and his counsel. Bunny received no help from the N. A. A. C. P. or any organization in securing bail. It was a personal effort. The employees of the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company, St. Louis, Mo., perhaps in angesthetic in America, on a personal call to the cook. A large portion of their colored employments remained loyal. This company has always employed a large number of our men. Now, the company wants some Afro-American shipping clerks at $3 per day and other men at $75 at month. Colored men will probably take these places and keep them. St. Louis has never been much of a union city, hence the numerous attempts to unionize lately. ONE OF MANY RECEIVED! Washington, D. C.

Dear Sir, I am infirmityman of Camp Sherman, O., have been transformed to the 25th Inf., and located here at Camp Grant, Rockford, IL. The boys are in good trim and like the military service very much. I dare say that there isn't a man in the regiment who wouldn't rather be on our own officers and they are the best in the country. They are to us as fathers to their children and see that we are well fed, etc. Believe me, when I say we get a plenty to eat, three times a day. The 2nd company of Camp Sherman, O., now Co. F., is one of the dried drilled at Camp Grant. Our captain is such a clever and efficient man and officer that everybody knows me of my childhood days—we can't go any place without permission. It is better, too, for a follow as it keeps him of trouble. There haven't been any brains or fights since we have been in the service. Our "non-coms" are some of the best in the service. Our first sergeant, D. G. Rountree, of Xenia, O., is a fine instructor and had special service to the officer, the A French officer, Sergis. Duplessis, Dolphin, Gaines and the corporals are all good "non-coms." We have long distance telephone service in our barracks and a beautiful piano, and believe me we have lots of fun. We have all kinds of sport, too, such as boxing, wrestling, baseball, football, and the medicine ball, of course. It is the only ball after all, as it makes a fellow the young and active. We sing all the good songs, such as "Broadway," "Hello Friends," "Goodbye," not I take as long. Don't you worry while we are "over there," because it is you we are fighting for. So, good-bye Broadway. Hello! France! We are going to help to win this war. We are all ready at a moment's notice to put the words of this song into real action. All of the boys of my company wish you and "The Old Reliable" Gazette much success, as most of them are Ohioans. Like myself, I am from Youngstown and I live with your Friend and my friend, D. D. Duncy, who write you something about him. He is one of the sweetest teachers and best persons on earth. It is thru him that I am what I am today. He has two barbershops and I worked for him. Believe me, I shall never forget him as long as I live. As soon as we win the war, I am going back to Youngstown and work for him again. He has one exceptionally fine shop, one of the most up-to-date in that city. He is a good Mason, friend and brother. I could write a much more but it is time for the electrolyte exercises and I wish to miss any of them. If a follow miss taking the exercises it makes one feel stupid. Watch for my next letter. PRIVATE H. W. JENNINGS Company F. 3655th Inf. 95,600 More Soldiers Washington, D. C.—A movement of 95,000 Afro-American drafted men, to begin on March 29 and continue for five days, has been ordered by Provost Marshal General Crowder. The order calls for troops from every state in the Union with the exception of Iowa and Minnesota. It includes men remaining from the first draft and those liable to call in the second.

February 12 had been fixed as the last day for filing applications, but through a reservation of Congress, appraisal procedures, the time was extended to April 12. Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in the Gazette certainly care little, if at all, for it. Therefore, we urge our readers and all our friends to patronize those who ask for your trade in this paper. 10550 EUCLID AVENUE SEVEN VICTORIES IN LOCAL COURTS! Crable Found Guilty and Fined—Forte Awaiting Sentence—The Criminal Libel Cases Closed (From The Gazette of Mar. 16, 1918.) As stated in our issue of last week, arrest and trials, and the expense to Rev Charles H.

Regarded the court to proceed with the trial less of the outlay to Crable and Forte, of Ommond H.

Then, Forte was examined, When questioned by Mr. Rothkopf, the guilty assignee by our attorney, Brown E. Thomas, Desq. it developed that Forte is not an American citizen, but an alien that he and his printers, the has undoubtedly materially helped to "clarify the local atmosphere." The court vicinity No. 3 and No. 4. For Forte is court vicinity No. 3 and No. 4. The Old Religious Gazette, and all in the best few weeks, too. As stated in our issue of last week, Rev Charles H. Crable was found guilty in Probate Court, last week Thursday, afternoon, of criminally jibing the editor of The Gazette in the title and vicious letter he wrote and had published, Dec. 1, 1917. Immediately after Judge Alexander Hadden announced Crable's sentence, Assistant County Prosecutor Rothkopf asked the court to proceed with the trial of Ormonid H. Forte, for the publication of the Crable letter, and his trial was entered upon. The editor and Mr. Wim, Deck testified, as in the Crable trial, last week, as to the untruths set forth in the Chas. H. Crable letter. Then Forte was examined. When questioned by Mr. Rothkopf, aby assisted by our attorney, Henry E. Thomas, Esq. it developed that Forte is not an American citizen, but an alien; that he and his printers, the Crable letter; that the publication of the Libelous letter before publishing it; that the Forte had been promised $10 for its publication but had not received that amount or any part of it from Crable; that he believed the vile, wicked and false statements in the letter were true because of a minister, "pastor of Mr. Haven haptist church," had signed his name to them and brought him to him, etc., etc. Assistant Forte in his closing argument to the court, calling attention to the fact that he (Forte) had been a resident of the city, much longer than Crable and therefore had the falsity of knowing better than him the falsity and vileness of the Libelous charge in the letter, in question; that, there, no less leniency should be shown him, less leniency should be shown him, especially in the fact that he admitted that he had absolutely no knowledge in the Crable letter were true or false before publishing it, etc., etc. The hour (4 p. m.) for the adjournment of court having passed, when Forte's trial was finished, judge Hadden announced that he would notify the attorneys when sentence was pronounced. Up to our going to press, he had not done so. It is indicated in Attorney Rothkopf's strong closing argument, thought that a much severer sentence will be passed on Forte was given. Financial circumstances were taken into consideration by the court, so it announced. Crable was fined ten dollars and costs which we understand amount to about forty dollars. Add to these two items his attorney's and stonegrapher's fees and other costs connected with their The motion for a new trial filed by Crable's attorney, was heard in Probe Court, last Friday afternoon, and overruled by Judge Alexander Hadden. Crable's attorney then pleaded with the court to suspend the sentence and his plea was granted, conditioned on Crable's good behavior in the future. The court said that the object of this (and similar prosecutions) was to prevent the defendant from repeating the offense and to deter others from committing like offenses and that the sentence would BOOKS FOR OUR SOLDIERS AND SAILORS Every Reader of "The Gazette" Can Help Soin—"Do Your Bit" More books—hundreds of thousands of them—are needed for the War Service Libraries maintained by the American Library Association at cantonments, training-camps, posts, forts, naval stations, on vessels, and overseas. Our men must have these books. They want them for their leisure hours—for recreation and for study. Experience has proved that they are eager to read and books that be provided. There is a temptation to buy some books, but ten more books are needed than there is money to buy them with. Hundreds of thousands must be obtained as gifts. Will you help? Next week. March 25th. 2011, the public library will have a book, campaign. They ask you to pass in to the men in khaki the book-you have enjoyed but will not read. You will be given a book in Cleveland, which people have bought or which friends have given them. These books have been read and they may not be used again by their present owners. If such books are given to the camp libraries, they will find new readers, and if this is done the money in hand can be used to buy books which are not received as gifts. You can send novels, tales of adventure detective stories and standard fiction. arrest and trials, and the expense to each, providing the same sentence, given Forte, will be between one and two hundred dollars, $150 each being a conservative estimate. Both bad to secure $600 bail twice, since their arrest. The usual charge for that amount of bail each time is $25. If this is included in their expenses, $200 each will hardly cover them. Regardless of the outlay to Crable and Forte, as a result of the writing and publication, respectively, of that letter, it has been "expensive" business for them in other ways and ought to prove a much model lesson, not only to them but also to others in this community. It has unobstructed materially helped to "clarify the local atmosphere". The conviction of Crable and Forte was court victory No.3 and No.4, for "The Old Reliable" Gazette, and all in the last few weeks, too. Some More Victories Some More Victories Our readers will readily, recall The Gazette's victory, No. 2, of several weeks ago, in a suit instituted in common pleas against us by J. W. Wills, president of the Reality, Housing and Investment Co., and at the same time scored victory No. 1 when our attorneys—Henry L. Thomas, Esq, and Robert Fisher, Esq, forced that company to dismiss its suit in order to go on with the Wills case. Well, several days after that happy conclusion, his attorney filed a motion, for a new trial, Phillips over the Justice No. 5. He asked the Justice asking that The Gazette be required to file certain statements in connection with a case pending, similar to the Wills case and instituted by Welcome T. Blue, another officer of the R. H. & I. Co. Two more cases, one each by R. H. Cheeks and Ormond H. Forte (also officers of the R. H. & I. Co.) are also pending. In all the cases instituted, the same in the Wills case will have occurred in motion, therefore, would have been a distinct victory for the three persons named. The motion, however, was over-ruled in all three cases—Blue's, Cheeks and Fortes—by Judge Pearson, Attorney Fisher representing The Gazette. VICTORY NO. 61 and all in the last few weeks, too! The petitioners in the Blue, Cheeks and Fortes cases are the same as in the Wills case. The Justice overturned Fortes case in probate court, last week, and the one just referred to. Suits for malicious prosecution will undoubtedly follow the conclusion of the R. H. & I. Co. official's suits. therefore he suspended indefinitely conditioned upon his (Crable's) good behavior; but if he should repeat the offense and the matter was brought to his (the court's) attention he would immediately order the sentence into execution, Assistant Prosecutor Rothkopf and Attorney Henry L. Thomas represented The Gazette. Judge Hadden did not announce when he would render his decision in the Forte case which was tried two weeks ago yesterday. It is, however, expected daily. up to date books on civil, mechanical and electrical engineering, the trades, business, the courses and agriculture; text books and military subjects, mathematics, the sciences and the present war; books of travel, history, biography, poetry and interesting books in foreign languages. Every branch library will receive books during the campaign, as well as the main library. The branches will send them in to the main library, where they are prepared for use in the camps and forwarded to their destination. The books collected in Cleveland during this campaign will be sent directly to Mr. Brett, librarian of the Cleveland Public Library, who is for the present at the head of the Atlantic Seacast despatch station at Newport News, which is providing books for the soldiers on the trans- A: Bachelor: His Reason! One day Queen Victoria sent for the vicar of Portsea. She said to him, "I hear excellent reports of your work at Portsea, and I find that you keen a staff of 12 curates. You should take to yourself a wife. I believe then you would be able to do with two curates less." "Ah, no, your majesty," replied the vicar, "If I have a curate who doesn't suit. I can get rid of him. But I couldn't do that with a wife." The vicar, was Rev. Cosmo Gordon Lang, now the archbishop of York, second highest official of the Church of England. He is still a bachelor. IN UNION Y IS STRENGTH SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS RADIUM COSTS $100.000 GRAM SUCH WEIGHT BEING ONE-TWENTY-EIGHTH OF AN OUNCE It Takes Twenty-five Men One Year to Produce Three Grams of the Metal. One-sixth of the world's output of radium is made within seven miles of Philadelphia in a factory at Lansdowne, which is one of six plants of its kind in the world. It has a capacity of producing three grams of radium a year. The process by which the metal is made was discovered by Dr. D. H. Kabatjian, assistant professor of physics in the University of Pennsylvania and a resident of Lansdowne. Some idea of the delicacy of the secret chemical processes which the carnotite ore undergoes can be gleaned from the output of the factory. Hundreds of tons of carnotite are used during the course of a year. Twenty-five men working nine hours a day for a year will produce three grams of pure radium salt. The market price of pure radium is $100,000 a gram at this time, and the Lansdowne factory's yearly output is worth $200,000. A gram is one-twenty-eighth of an ounce. Radium is sent to all parts of the world from the factory in Lansdowne. "We have to be mighty careful how we ship this material," said Dr. Kabakjian. "The radium salt is placed in a sealed glass tube like this one," and he rolled between his fingers a little glass tube not much larger than a 5-penny nail. How the Heather Got Its Blossoms. In her "Book of Nature Myths," Florence Holbrook tells the story of how the heather got its blossoms. She writes: "The trees and plants were happy and contented. The lily was glad because her flowers were white. The rose was glad because her flowers were red. The violet was happy because, however stylish she might hide herself away, some one would come to look for her and praise her fragrance. The daisy was happiest of all because every child in the world loved her. "The trees and plants chose homes for themselves. The oak said, "I will live in the broad fields and by the roads, and travelers may sit in my shadow. I shall be contented on the waters of the pond," said the water lily. "And I am contented in the sunny fields," said the daisy. "My fragrance shall rise from beside some mossy stone." said the violet. Each plant chose its home where it would be most happy and contented. "There was one little plant, however, that had not said a word and had not chosen a home. This plant was the heather. She had not the sweet fragrance of the violet, and the children did not love her as they did the daisy. The reason was that no blossoms had been given her, and she was too shy to ask for any. "I wish there was some one who would be glad to see me," she said; but she was a brave little plant, and she did her best to be contented and to look bright and green. "One day she heard the mountain say, 'Dear plants, will you not come to my rocks and cover them with your brightness and beauty?'... Will you not come and cover them? "I cannot leave the pond, cried the water lily. "I cannot leave the moss,' said the violet. "I cannot leave the green fields,' said the daisy. "The little heather was trembling with eagerness.' If the great, beautiful mountain would only let me come! she thought, and at last she whispered very softly and shyly, 'Please, dear mountain, will you let me come? I have not any blossoms like the others, but I will try to keep the wind and the sun away from you." "Let you?' cried the mountain. I shall be contented and happy if a dear little plant like you will only come to me." "The heather soon covered the rocky mountainside with her, bright green, and the mountain called proudly to the other plants. 'See how beautiful my little heather is!' The others replied. 'Yes, she is bright and green, but she has no blossoms.' "Then a sweet voice was heard saying, 'Blossoms you shall have, little heather. You shall have many and many a flower, because you have loved the lonely mountain, and have done all that, you could to please him and make him happy.' Even before the gentle voice was still, the little heather was bright with many blossoms, and blossoms she has had from that day to this."

SATURDAY, MARCH 23, 1918 Captain Pereless can truthfully say that they "kept him out of war." President Wilson says that he wants "no discord to encourage the enemy." Hoover and McAdeo should stop making faces at each other. Down in their hearts, would the people prefer to see the war conducted by an All-Democratic Administration or an All-American Administration? We have read many biographies of Abraham Lincoln but we never read where he could change his beliefs as readily as one changes a garment. Sincerity was the pole star of his being. The erection of a statue to Buchanan at Washington's "lace, reluctant and unimportant" as was said of his final decision to sustain the government at the outbreak of the Civil War. There is one resemblance between Lincoln's Secretary of War, Stanton, and Wilson's Secretary of War, Baker. They were both Democrats. We do not recall any other resemblance at the present time. Pitiless publicity has again been sent out from Washington that pitiless publicity is going to be given to publicity pitilessly. Remember the cry-of-wolf story in the old third reader? "The man who does not believe" in war preparation," says the Columbus Dispatch, "is an idiot to that extent, however wise he may be in other matters." In 1916? Or, just now? "This nation would not exist as a nation one year," says the Columbus Dispatch, "if it were to announce that it would not fight, or if it were to refuse to prepare to fight." Or be too proud to fight. The Louisville (Ky.) News and the St. Louis (Mo.) Argus have made such marked improvement in recent weeks that they are entitled to the unstinted praise of the race press. Here is ours, conferes! A headline says: "President may send U. S. envoy to Vatican." We do not see U. s. can be spared. Mr. McAdoo has to look after all of America that is run above ground. Doctor Garfield, all that has been run into the ground, while Colonel House is responsible for the rest of the world. Nobody being available, the headline fails to carry conviction. Washington is overflowing with civilians sporting military uniforms and titles. They are the "desk warriors." Many of them are called "slickers" because they were slick enough to get a commission and then be very visible in their uniforms in Washington or their home town. Where they are over military age no particular harm is done except that the honorable uniform and title of the real soldier is cheapened. Congress should pass a law lifting the military uniform and the military title from every job holder who is not subject to orders to go to the front. The Wilson administration has forced segregation in army matters in Porto Rico, where it was never known before, over the protest of the House and Senate and the people of that little island. The mixed Porto Rican regiment has been separated on a color basis, separate quarters being provided for its colored and white members, in the face of a resolution-petition to President Wilson unanimously adopted by the Porto Rican House and Senate. This is carrying the American color line, not into A rica but into Porto Rico, not so far away from "the dark continent," and is really more than even we expected from our prejudiced southern democratic controlled national administration. O, the pity of it! CUNEY BRAVE AND TRUE! A belated but none the less deserved honor—the recent naming of a Texas town Cuney. The Hon. Norris Wright Cuney was one of the last two, if not the last Afro-American Republican state leader. He was a man of education and ability, true as steel and brave as a lion. No one ever accused him of deserving a friend. It was Marcus A. Hanna of Ohio, whose political star was just reaching its zenith, who brought about Cuney's political downfall which culminated at the St. Louis Republican National convention in which Wm. McKinley was nominated for the presidency. Some time in the near future we hope to find time to tell the interesting story of our visit to Mr. Cuney at the request of Mr. Hanna when it was learned enough delegates' votes had been secured to make certain McKinley's nomination at that convention. NULLIFIED CITIZENSHIP All over the country patriotic governors are calling special elections in order that vacancies in Congress may be filled. This is done in order that, during the progress of this great war every state and every district, and the people thereof, may be represented and have a voice in the carrying on of the war. In Wisconsin, even a special state election was ordered, that the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Husting might be filled. Only in Ohio is a part of the American nation to be disfranchised and left without a representative in Congress. Congressman Bathrick recently died, leaving a vacancy in the Fourteenth district. Governor Cox refuses to call an election to fill the vacancy. So the counties of Lorain, Medina, Portage and Summit are being treated like our people in the Southern states. They are denied the franchise and the right of representation. Their young men may go into the army; the electors may buy Liberty bonds; they may pay the war taxes; but—they are to be voiceless in the hails of the Congress of the Republic! Governor Cox is guilty of a wrong to a splendid and patriotic people when he reduces them to political nullity. War Department Wants Clerks Wilberforce, O.—The War Department is still calling for more men and Wilberforce University has sent a number of young men to answer the call. They have proved so efficient that Maj. E. M. Sanctuary has sent President W. S. Scarborough a telegram asking for twenty more clerks There are also calls for stenographers.

"I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, tolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the shame of friends—prow cold, but the secrecy of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, MARCH 23, 1918 A DOINGS OF THE RACE Prof. H.

City or Town..... HUNTING THE WHALE A hundred years ago whaling was king in New England, many stories of whalers and whaling have been written, but no fiction has ever done justice to the courage and daring, the heart-breaking labor, the terrible privations and the heroism which were part of the day's work of the Yankee whalemen—who were really founders of American commerce, says a writer in the Boston Herald. A Hyatt Veril's new book, "The Real Story of a Whaler," gives a true and unvarnished idea of the whale-man's life. In addition to the perils of the sea to which merchant sailors are exposed, says the author, the whaleman faces innumerable dangers absolutely unknown to other seamen, and yet the losses among whaling vessels' and their crews were no greater than in other professions of the sea. Many of the ships went forth time after time on cruises of several years' duration, sailed to the uttermost parts of the world, braved the elements of the frigid and the tropic zones on every sea, held their own most credibly thru several generations of skippers, and are still strong, stamina and seaworthy today. Many an old whaleman sailed forth from New Bedford or some other port in the same ship thrust out his long life, and never had a mislap and never lost a man on all his voyages. One Nantucket captain, over 80 years of age, boasted that in the years he had been whaling—he commenced as a boy—his ship had never touched bottom, that not a man had ever been lost or abandoned his vessel, that no man had ever been off duty over a week on account of illness or injuries, that he had never lost but one spar, that he had never returned without a fli cargo of oil, and that he had never passed a day at sea without going aboard himself, save in the heaviest gales. This man was not exceptional; there were scores, yes hundreds, who would say as much, for the Yankee whaling captains were unequaled seamen, born navigators, and never sheru their duty; but thru fair weather or foul, thru calm and storm, amid vast icefoes or roaring breakers, courageously followed their quarry round the world and back. Of all dangers which beset the whaleman, perhaps the least expected was that of a whale ramming the ship itself, and yet this happened many times, and many a ship was sent to the bittom by a maddened whale smashing in her planks with the tremendous force of his massive bulk and enormous strength. But of all the shipwrecks caused by running onto a whale, that of the ship Union, of Nantucket¹ Capt. Edward Gardner, is the most noteworthy and interesting. The Union sailed from Nantucket for Brazil on Sept. 19, 1897, and when twelve days out and while proceeding under easy sail at a speed of seven knots, she suddenly brought up against a whale. The shock was so great that those on board thought the vessel had run onto a rock until the animal was seen and a hasty examination showed that the planking on the starboard bow had been smashed in and two timbers had been broken. The pumps were started, but the water rapidly gained and the crew prepared to leave the ship. The accident occurred at 10 o'clock at night; it was no doubt owing to the darkness that the whale was not sighted—and by midnight the boats were lowered and pulled away from the sinking vessel. A heavy sea was running and the crew of sixteen men were scattered among three boats. Fearing that the boats might become separated in the darkness, and in order to give more shifts at the oars, one boat was abandoned and the men were divided equally in the two remaining boats, which then headed for the Azores, over 600 miles distant. By October 2nd the men managed to rig up sails, but during the next two days the wind rose to a gale, the extemporized sails were carried away and the two boats were lashed together and allowed to drift. Owing to the haste in which the men left the ship, very few provisions and an insufficient supply of water had been put in the boats, and by October 4th the men were put on rations consisting of but three quarts of water and eighteen small cakes for the whole company for each twenty-four hours. Starvation was staring them in the free, their thirst was terrible, and their case seemed hopeless, when on October 9th, they sighted the island of Flores and landed safely after being airtight for seven days and eight nights, during which time they had rowed, sailed and drifted for 600 miles. Sometimes stories of a "mad whale" were spread among the whales—tales of some of exceptional fecility and courage—a whale warrior who destroyed lives and boats and invariably escaped, and when at last some vessel captured such a fighter and identified him by the irons found in his body, the report was circulated among all the whales far and near. Such an accident was reported by the ship Hector of New Bedford. In October, 1832, the boats were lowered and started after a large whale, but before they were wilful striking distance the creature turned, stove one of the boats and threw its occupants into the sea. The captain's coat hurried to their rescue, but the furious, fighting whale dashed at it, seized it in his enormous, armed jaw, and chewed and smashed it to pieces. The note, struggling in the water, was then seized by the creature, and, altho bitten and chewed and badly wounded, he was finally rescued alive. 819 American Trust Building Cleveland, Ohio Tel.

Reed as vice president, to succeed Mrs. J. W. Wills, Mr. Connes, in a published interview, says as the result of his recent survey of local labor conditions: "Negroes are doing the work of white laborers in the factories of the city and will continue to do it through the efficiency they have developed. This competition will not precipitate race trouble because of the better understanding between colored workers and that it is done during the war. A new day is coming for the Negro after the war. He will have proven his economic ability. The spirit of democracy growing in the war is going to guarantee the rights that the Negro will demand, not as a colored man, but as a citizen under the flag." An exceptionally large number of ministers were present at the Ministers' Alliance meeting, Tuesday. The reports showed good attendance at the churches, Sunday, and a large number of new members were reported by some of the ministers. Two new members were added to the Alliance; Rev. J. E. Wilson, pastor of a Baptist church and Rev. W. W. Todd of the Presbyterian church. They are working up new organizations. Rev. O. W. Childers, of St. James A. M. E. church, read a fine paper on "The Man Behind the Pulpit," and it was a live message, well prepared, and forcefully delivered. It caused a helpful discussion. Rev. B. K. Smith of E. Mt. Zion Baptist church, invited the Alliance to attend his church in a body, on Sunday at 3 p.m. He will be the Alliance's speaker for the next meeting before leaving for a two weeks' vacation at Wooster. Last Sunday St. James A. M. E. church was well attended and the services were full of interest. In the morning the pastor spoke on "Life Influence" and in the evening on "A Plan in Life." The congregation increases, every Sunday. The Sunday school has purchased a new set of song books (100) and is making preparation for Easter. Next Sunday, quarterly meeting. Dr. Bundy will preach in the evening. The church is being renovated and electric lights installed. The Adams-Ramey Men's Guild suspended its meeting and the 25 men present went in a body to attend the meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. at Mt. Zion Bantist church, east end, last Sunday. The 19th anniversary of the organization of St. James Church is being celebrated on April 14, with a service by the stewards and reception to the members by the W. M. M. society. The W. M.

Five of our soldier boys are at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, awaiting death as a result of the recent Court Martial proceedings growing out of the Houston riot. 'Though these men have been sentenced to die, their cases will be reviewed by President Wilson, and he has the power to commute their sentences to life imprisonment, if he will. He can even pardon them, if he desires so to do. These men were victims of rank prejudice. They were forced to take the law into their own hands by reason of the oppression and insults offered them by southern whites. Their cases are not ordinary ones, and they deserve extraordinary consideration. Their comrades who died a few weeks ago were hanged without executive intervention. These five boys have a chance to live, if the President says so. "The Gazette" urges our people to fill out the appeal to the President, to be found on this page and also to write a letter to his or her U. S. Senator and Congressman asking that the President be urged to save these boys. They are victims of peculiar circumstances and conditions born of prejudice and hatred. Write today; help to save them. Combating the Winds This winter—the coldest in 48 years has been made even more severe by the prevailing high winds. On windy days, the cold air forces its way through cracks and windows a great deal more rapidly than it can be heated. On such days your heating appliances must run full blast if your home is to be kept reasonably comfortable. In January the average hourly wind velocity was 15.4 miles—with a maximum of 54 miles per hour recorded on January 12th. On this day the thermometer dropped 42 degrees in 16 hours—so that you needed at least twice as much heat on the 12th of January as you did on the 11th. Gas Service is your first line of defense against the extreme variations of wind and temperature. Naturally it requires a tremendous volume of gas to fight these wintry gales—and sometimes Gas Service cannot fight them single-handed. But our customers should know that every available cubic foot of gas is being delivered to them in this combat with the winds. The East Ohio Gas Co.

Two others held up Louis Sax, Canton, at Portland Ave. and E. 46th St., last week Thursday night, and robbed him of $28. Mrs. Elizabeth Harris was arrested, early, last week Monday, charged with the death of her husband, Wm. Harris, who was found at their home, 2434 E. 59th St., last Thursday night, week, with a gun-shoot wound in his chest. Harris died at St. Alexis hospital, Sunday night week. Police say Mrs. Harris shot her husband with a rifle during a jealous rage. Sixteen Negroes were arrested by the police, Saturday. Three men and three women were taken from 2464 E. 43rd St., three women from 2115 Woodland Ave., and four women and three men from the Marion Ave. district. The women were charged with being suspicious characters and the men with adultery. County commissioners have offered a reward of $25,775 for Oscar Harper, 27, charged with murder and $90 for Ferdinand Owinska Dellwright, 24, who escaped in company with three white prisoners, Dec 18, from the county jail, by prying a lock of a door leading into the bridge connecting the jail with the old court house. Dellwright is charged with forging several Adams Express money orders soon after his marriage to a popular Pittsburgh society girl, last fall, and was awaiting trial.

Thru the invention of a new type, one-man submarine, the first full-sized and fully-equipped craft of which was completed a few weeks ago, Milton J. Trumble, president of a refining company, of Los Angeles, who perfected an oil refining process that brought him a fortune, expects to revolutionize warfare at sea to such an extent that the power of the present dreadnaught will be greatly minimized. While the strictest secrecy has been maintained regarding the building of the new underwater vessel, it was learned that the craft recently was launched at Naples and that, so far as preliminary tests are concerned, it comes up to all the hopes of its builder. The principal feature of the craft is that it is distinctly a one-man boat. It is so constructed that there is not an inch of unnecessary space. The operator of the craft easily may control every desired movement of the submarine. The craft, while capable of being submerged by displacement, ordinarily is submerged by means of a three-blade propeller connected with its keel. In the event of an accident, crippling the motive power of the craft, an automatic arrangement sends the boat to the surface of the sea, thereby giving its operator a chance to escape. Always the vessel is submerged, except for its conning tower, the upper portion of which is only twelve inches above the surface of the water. Equipped with an especially designed 110-horse power motor the submarine, it is said, is capable of a speed of thirty-five knots an hour or greater; this speed applies to undersea navigation, owing to the fact no part of the vessel's hull is ever out of water. Ohio Species Have Fine, Nutty Flavor If Roasted and Eaten Like Sandwich. "Most excellent." That's what Chester Bliss, Jr. of Sandusky, Ohio, says about grasshopper sandwiches, and Bliss ought to know—because he ate one, says the Cleveland Press. "Grasshoppers may yet help solve the high cost of living," says Bliss. Bliss, who is assistant curator of the high school museum, was on a zoological trip with Louis Pusch and Harold Stuez, high school students. "When dinner time came we were near a field in which grasshoppers were plentiful," said Bliss. "I suggested we make them into sandwiches. We ate them and found them fine. Each grasshopper was roasted until he turned red like a lobster. They have a fine, nutty flavor. If we could get some well-known man or woman to try grasshoppers, every one would soon be eating them. They could be caught in large numbers. The farmers would be benefited and the people would have a means to get cheap food. "I intend to eat many another grasshopper sandwich," Bliss declared to the Sandusky correspondent. RECORDS ROAD WEAR AND TEAR Machine Transmits All Variations to Roll of Paper. A machine has been devised in the Georgia School of Technology by means of which the wear and tear upon roads may be accurately measured. A recording mechanism on a toothed wheel is held in contact with point by a spring. The wheel of the machine rises and falls as it passes over irregularities in the road surface and these variations are transmitted to the record in horizontal lines drawn upon a continuous roll of paper by the pencil attached to the machine. The apparatus is light enough to be drawn over the road by the man making the test. If it is used at intervals over the roads of a given area the changes due to the wear and tear of the surface can be accurately determined. A Quick Response. Speaking of the helpful spirit, it is much in evidence in a 'dry' town," remarked a traveler. "You surprise me." "Yes. On one occasion while visiting a town of that sort I requested the loan of a corkscrew. Nine prominent citizens who were lounging in the hotel lobby at the time hastened to oblige me, and every blessed one of them asked me as a personal favor to let him draw the cork."

COOKING CLASSES FOR TEXTILE MILL WORKERS Women in South Carolina Villages Also Instructed in Other Lines Also instructed in Other Lines. Columbia, S. C.—An important and interesting work among the women in the cotton mill villages in South Carolina is being conducted by Miss Mary E. Frayser, representing the United States Department of Agriculture, the State Normal College for Women, Winthrop, and the several mill management. The work is done through cooking demonstrations, cookery clubs, sewing classes, mothers' clubs, garden clubs, junior and senior, playground activities and "recreation night," with night school two nights in the week through six months of the year. Each mill village has its local leader, usually a graduate of Winthrop College. The work is planned to give an impetus to many worth-while things. It includes certain definite training in practical things, such as cooking, home gardening and the preserving of perishables in glass and tin. Public spirited people are called on periodically to address the people on topics of current interest. Playgrounds are equipped and used in developing team work and better social spirit. The Federal farm demonstration agents co-operate to the extent of instructing the people in the cultivation of flower plots and kitchen gardens dairying and poultry keeping. In each instance the mill management provides a house for the work, usually a four-room cottage, which is remodeled and equip d after plans furnished by Miss Frayers. An attempt has been made to achieve beautiful and practical, yet inexpensive interiors. The partition between two of the rooms is removed, so that a space large enough to contain a large group is made available. Here the various club meetings are held and in door games played. One of the other two apartments is a reading room. Cheer radiates from the community building — for that is the name by which these modest cottages are known, except in the few textile settlement provided with large community club houses. The fourth room is used as a kitchen. In it is placed a modest equipment for cooking. The work is under way at present in 12 textile communities and proposals are under consideration for its introduction into a number of other villages. ABANDONED TUNNEL A NATURAL WONDER Ice Forms in it in Hottest Weather, and it Is Warm in Winter. Edgement, S. D.—A natural wonder of the Black Hills, in the form of an ice cave, is to be developed and made an attraction for tourists. As a unique feature anon, the natural attractions of the Black Hills it ranks with Wind Cave and with Crystal Cave, and in some respects is ever more wonderful than either of these. The cave has developed features which make it a most mystifying proposition. Some ten or eleven years ago what now is the ice cave was run as a tunnel by the late Harvey Sheffer, and had been pushed about 90 feet into the bill when work was abandoned as no satisfactory mineral showing was encountered. The fact that it had the power o. producing ice even during the hottest summer weather was not discovered until later. In the hottest months of the year ice forms in the tunnel, sometimes to a depth of three feet, and a remarkable feature is that during cold weather, the ice disappears. On the surface of the ground above the face of the tunnel is a spot from which the heavies, snow is melted in winter and green grass is always found there, in all seasons of the year. The formation of the ice is believed to be due to the presence of certain chemicals in the solutions which trickle through the rocks, which, coming in contact with currents of air, cause a lowering of temperature. Why the ice should disappear in winter is not so easily explained, unless it is that the production of a low temperature, under the circumstances, requires the presence of warm air currents in conjunction with the chemicals contained in the solutions. POLICEMEN TO ENTER COLLEGE Berkeley Force to Study Physics and Crimi-tology Berkley, Cal.-Every policeman in Berkeley is preparing to enter college. The initial appropriation for a policeman's college has been made by Berkeley's City Council. Dr. Albert Schneider of the University of California is to be dean of the institution and instructor in various courses, including physics, physiology, anatomy, microlysis and criminology. August Vollmer, Chief of Police, is to act as director of the undertaking. The school is modeled after the University of California and will offer credits and diplomas. The faculty of 14, all of whom have college degrees, will include eight professors and instructors from the University of California.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, MARCH 23, 1918 NEW WAY TO STOP ILLICIT DISTILLING SERVE NOTICE UPON THE "MEN HIGHER UP" AND THEN TAKE ALL COPPER KETTLES SAY IT IS PROVING EFFECTIVE All Acquiesce and There is No More Raiding and Shooting in the Mountains. Roanoke, Va.—Following a policy recently adopted, and which it is believed will prove highly effective within in the next few months, Revenue Agent S. R. Brame of Richmond and a force of Deputy Collectors of Internal Revenue and special employees operating in Patrick County have brought to book 10 complete illicit distilling outfits, spilled 1800 gallons of beer and made at least one arrest after a long and exciting chase. Two of the plants were in operation. Officers operating with the revenue agents were Deputy Collectors H. G. Stuiz, G. O. Monday, J. D. Hylton, C. W. Woleman, Special Gaucer C. P. Carter and Special Employees T. F. Ross and H. B. Stebbins. This was the first extensive operation along the line laid down in the revenue agents' newly adopted policy. This plan will be pursued until all Southwestern Virginia, where efforts against illicit liquor making have cost the Government millions of dollars and not a few lives of officers within the last several years. Briefly told, the new plan, designed to go to the very foundation of illicit distilling, is nothing more than an ultimatum so sharp, so well based and so well presented that its acceptance thus far is proving general, and it is believed by revenue officers that it will continue to prove so until all the heretofore troublesome territory in the mountain country will have been cleared of illicit liquor makers. There is no raiding, no shooting, and no particular hard feelings are engendered between revenue officers and offenders; there is just a plain statement of facts to the "men higher up." So plain that they appear quickly to see the handwriting on the wall and express a willingness to follow the safe course and quit making liquor or being responsible for its making. For years Federal officers have been coming more and more to realize that the unfortunate who yearly are brought to court to suffer fines or imprisonment for illicit distilling operations were merely tools in mercenary hands. Under the new plan of campaign it is toward these directing influences that the officers are directing their efforts. Quietly, without trouble or friction, the revenue officers set about to locate all fountain heads of illicit operations. Then they put the whole matter up to headquarters. "Will you quit, or must we act drastically?" is the ultimatum delivered when the case is made and the burden is on the defense. It usually meets with ready acquiescence. No outfits are delivered, but the officers receive a quiet tip as to the location of an outfit. They know to a practical certainty that this information is authentic. When the visit is over there is nothing left. Fermenters are burned, every particle of minor equipment is effectually destroyed, and the copper still, instead of being filled full of square punctures and left in the woods, is brought in, as well as all sheet copper that may be found in hands not thoroughly trustworthy in the view of the officers. There is nothing left with which to start operations again, and with the promises of former offenders that they are done the officers believe an end to their years of trouble is in sight, especially sin • drastic steps have been taken to prevent material for a new plant reaching lawbreaking hands. TEACHER GROWS RICH BY 10 YEAFE SAVINGS Invests Money in Real Estate and Boom Sends It Soaring. Bristol, Tenn.—The marriage here of Miss Julia E. Black of the Oklahoma City Schools and B.

Calcutta. — Great excitement was caused at the local railroad terminus a few days ago, when, on the arrival of the Madras mail train, it became known that a full-grown Bengal tiger had broken loose from its cage in the baggage car at the end of the train. The tiger—a magnificent specimen—was part of a consignment sent by the Maharajah of Mysore as a gift to the Calcutta Zoo, the other animals being two llamas and six kangaroas, a cockerel and two hens, the tiger having a cage to himself. A coolie entered the compartment adjoining the cages on the train's arrival at Calcutta, and saw that the tiger had broken out of its cage and entered the cage in which the llamas and poultry were confined. The coolie ran to obtain assistance, and soon a large crowd gathered at a respectful distance on a railway bridge. Zoo and railway officials who answered witnessed a remarkable spectacle. It was found that the tiger had already killed a llama and the two hens, but had failed to vanquish the cockerel, which was still walking about freely, having successfully kept its opponent at bay by means of a sort of "fowl jiu jitsu." The tiger, again and again, tried its utmost to land its paw on the cockerel but the latter cleverly evaded all blows aimed at it, crowing triumphantly after the end of each round. The car was finally detached from the train and removed to the freight shed by the railway authorities, and after several hours some of the iron bars of the car were cut away and a new cage placed against the opening. It wa, not until a bucket of water had been placed in the new cage, however, that the now thirsty tiger was induced to get into it. A porter eye witness of the astonishing fight between the tiger and the cockerel stated that "if everyone was afraid of the tiger, the tiger was afraid of the cock." The cockerel, after the removal of the tiger, coolly hopped out of the luggage van without so much as a scratch. COTTON STALK WASTE AMOUNTS TO MILLIONS Texas Official Designates the Many Things It Might Be Austin, Tex.—Raw material for millions of dollars worth of varied finished products has been annually sent to waste from the cotton fields of the United States, says Wilhelm Wehe, cotton expert in the Agriculture Department of Texas. This is the cotton stalk, which generally has been made fuel for flames, but sometimes is converted into fertilizer by being plowed under. In this State alone, according to Wehe, this annual waste amounts to from 12,000,000 to 18,000,000 tons of stalks. Here are some of the things which can be made from this raw material, wehe says: Paper, stalk or pulp—To be manufactured into any grade of paper, crade or fancy. Fiber—spinnable in any color for manufacturing matting, ropes and bagging. (A possibility to wrap our Texas cotton with a Texas product taken from our native cotton plant.) Fertilizers—To be brought back into the field. Wood Powder—To be used in the manufacture of high explosives. Besides these, several by-products are produced, such as aceton, from 10 to 20 gallons per ton of stalks, which is used in the manufacture of celluloid, etc.; amyl, amyl acetate, wood alcohol, ergot, gums and coloring matter. The Pulp—Turned into pure cellulose is the base of many products, such as celluloid goods, artificial silk, artificial horsehair, artificial leather, artificial horn, smokeless powder and other valuable articles. The paper pulp, as mentioned before produces a splendid writing tissue, pergamant, wrapping paper and papers of other grades. It can also be manufactured into paper board, fibre board and the so-called beaver board. COSTS $1 A POUND NOW TO BEAT WIFE IN PUEBLO Pueblo, Colo. — The cost of wife beating in Pueblo is increasing. Magistrate H. A. Crossman, in the Pueblo Court a few days ago, served notice to all benedicts who indulge in that indoor sport that they will be required to pay into the municipal coffers a big round dollar for every pound their wife may weight. James Arris was the first victim. He told Magistrate Crossman he had beaten his wife because she had disobeyed him. "How much do you weigh, Mrs. Arris?" asked the magistrate of the frail little woman who had testified against her husband. "An even hundred pounds," Mrs. Arris replied. Magistrate Crossman turned to Arris and said: "You're a nice specimen to be the head of a family. You will pay the costs and $100. That's a dollar a pound, and it may cost you more next time." "I'm glad I didn't marry a circus fat woman," muttered Arris, as the full silmilance of the sentence reached him. SCIENCE AIDS COUNTERFEITER HAND ENGRAVER SUPPLANTED BY PHOTOGRAPHY Counterfeiting has undergone a revolution in the last few years, says the veteran detective. "In the old days all fine counterfeits had to be engraved by hand," he explains. "If a man was found willing to undertake such a job he had to be an artist of the highest order. To finish properly any plate of value for counterfeiting required from ten to fifteen months. Modern methods of photomechanical printing from photographically prepared plates has made the work of the secret service harder than ever before. Where before it required months to complete a set of counterfeit plates now a creditable set can be turned out within a few hours. The notes, too, are better and more dangerous than the finest hand engraved note possibly could be, it matters not how skillful the workman may have been. "Sometimes it requires the picking out of the silk leads from a bill and their comparison, both as to length and thickness, with threads from a nine bill to establish the fact that a note is really a counterfeit," he continued. "If experts are compelled to go to this length to detect a spurious note it stands to reason that it virtually is impossible for the general public to do so. "Counterfeit bills as a rule are never clean and crisp. Almost invariably they have been mussed or aged on a plank especially prepared for that purpose. That, of course, makes them all the harder to detect. Counterfeiters also figure on the fact that people generally are not familiar with the characteristics of genuine money and therefore are unable to make any intelligent comparison between the good and the bad. "Under all circumstances by far the best test of a bill is to examine the late work. This in all genuine notes is perfect and shows what may be called an elastic relief and unbroken line, which cannot be imitated successfully even by touching up a photomechanical plate with a graver. As a matter of self protection everybody should acquaint himself with the features of genuine money by leisurely examination of bank notes and thus make himself competent to pass upon the average bill with reasonable accuracy." Let a really dangerous bill appear and no means are spared to run it down to the source. Once the maker is found it seldom is a difficult task to find the reserve stock awaiting a favorable time to pass it. That is why it is exceptional for a really good counterfeit to be passed in considerable quantities. secret servicers. Generatives generally are not much afraid of counterteeters the veterans say. Usually they are not of high mental caliber, do not resist strongly when placed under arrest and if caught working together generally are eager to turn against you another. Makers of spurious coins, who soldom are to be found nowadays, are held in genuine contempt by the men who are ferreting them out. Usually they are of a lower stratum of criminals than the makers of bank notes, are unrested and harder. Suddue, but easy to run down. Concientious Bill "Bill had charge of the animal tent," said the old circus man, "and among his pets was a leopard, the only one we had with the show, and onite enough, too. This leopard gave Bill more trouble than all the rest of the menagerie put together. It was certainly an ugly brute. "Well, one day, when we were resting downstate, I had come up to town to arrange about some advance business. I was eating my dinner in the hotel when a telegram was handed to me. It was from Bill, and read: 'The leopard has escaped. Prowling about town. What shall, I do?'" "That was just like Bill. He had to have explicit directions, even in an emergency like this. He didn't want to make a mistake. "I immediately wired back to Bill. Shoot him on the spot." I didn't think any more about it until a couple of hours later, when I received another telegram from conscientious, careful Bill, asking, "Which spot?" "Impossible." Know that "impossible," where truth and mercy and the everlasting voice of nature order, has no place in the brave man's dictionary. That when all men have said "Impossible," and tumbled noisily elsewhere, and then alone art left, then first thy time and possibility have come. It is for three; now do that, and ask no man's counsel, but thy own only and God's Brother, thou hast possibility in thee for much; the possibility of writing on the eternal skies the record of a heroic life.—Caryle. Dead Sure of it. Visitor—"I suppose you found it great fun at the front!" Damaged Hero—"Oh, yes, killing!" UNCLE SAM BADLY IN NEED OF USICIANS Sixty-Three Bands of 30 Men Each Being Organized Under Army Bill. Fort Leavenworth, Kan—An army without music is almost as bad off as an army without guns, and Uncle Sam is badly in need of musicians. No fewer than 63 bands, each of 30 musicians, are being organized under the new army bill, and young men musically inclined are given an excellent opportunity for learning any instrument. If he likes, the soldier musician need serve only one year with the army, although he must remain in reserve six years longer and liable to be called upon for active service. The army maintains the Institute of Musical Art at Governor's Island, New York, to teach these musicians. Young men who have musical talent are sent there to be trained after their enlistment, which means that with the steady practice required, good musicians are turned out in a few months. On assignment the army musician receives $24 a month, and the usual allowances. As proficiency is acquired, he is promoted to second and then first-class musician with increases of pay. Band leaders get a maximum of $99 a month, quarters, fuel, ration, medical attendance and other things which go to make a total which is equal to what a musician can earn in civilian life, if not more. In addition to their regular pay, army musicians earn extra money by playing at private post functions. At a good post, these earnings will double the pay or more in the winter season. Army band men are not required to fight. Their duty in action is with the headquarters company, behind the line, either in a supply capacity or as stretcher bearers. In all there are 122 regimental bands, one at West Point and one at the Disciplinary Barracks here. Each regiment of infantry, each regiment of cavalry and each regiment of field artillery has a band, and there is one for the Engineer Corps, this band being always stationed at Washington. Eighteen bands are provided for the Coast Artillery Corps, which has no regimental organization. CONVICT RECAPTURED Oklahomaman Who Prospered on Colorado Claim Hopes to Obtain a Parole. Parsons, Kan.—Unless the Governor of Oklahoma grants him a parole, Roy Kent, 24 years old, will have to serve the remainder of a nine-year penitentiary sentence for killing a Deputy Sheriff, although he the last three years he had "made good" on his 160-acre claim in Colorado and became a respected citizen of the community. A few months after Kent had been imprisoned he learned that his wife and baby were in destitute circumstances and facing starvation, so one night he eluded his guards and gained his freedom. He beat his way on freight trains to Montrose, Colo., where he filed a claim in the Government land office for a quarter section of mountain land. By working in mines Kent saved enough money to purchase tools and in a few weeks he had cleared enough timber from his claim to build a comfortable log house. Then he sent for his wife and child. He prospered and recently he wrote a letter to a relative in Quinton, Ok., telling the relative of his prosperity, but the missive fell into unfriendly hands and the authorities were notified of Kent's whereabouts. One night an officer rapped at his cabin door and told him that he would have to return to Oklahoma. On this return journey Kent carried with him a letter signed by the Sheriff, the County Clerk and the Judge of the county in which his claim is situated, begging the Governor of Oklahoma to parole him and declaring him to be a law-abiding, industrious and good citizen. "If you parole Kent," the letter says, "you will help him to continue to be a good and useful citizen," and it adds that hundreds of other signatures to a request for a parole could be obtained in the county. His wife and children are holding down the claim in his absence. GARMENTS OF PAPER FORESEEN Clothes Maker Says Substitute for Wool Is Necessary.

William Hobson, pastor of the Jackson Street Christian Church, was preaching, Shepherd Scofield, a son of John Scofield, and Miss Bertha Brown, daughter of Henry Brown of this city, walked up to the pulpit and asked that he quit preaching and marry them.

IT IS BELIEVED THAT BURNING OF THE OLD HOTEL HAS-REMOVED THE OBJECTIONS NO HOSTELRY THERE AT PRESENT Prized Records of 100 Years Lost in Fire—Railroad Ready to Turn Over Land. Louisville, Ky.—The passing of the century-old hotel at Mammoth Cave is believed to open the way for the realization of the dream, long cherished by the people of Kentucky, to have the Federal Government take over the property and convert it into a national park. A movement to this end was started by Representative R. Y. Thomas of that district, but, owing to obstacles placed in the way by Judge Albedt S. Janin, one of the three heirs owning the property, who conducted the hotel, the proposal was dropped. The destruction of the hotel leaves the place without suitable accommodations for visitors, as the only building standing is a modern four-room bungalow, and the assumption is that the heirs will not consider the reconstruction of the hotel. Guests are being accommodated in the bungalow and the neighboring cottages. The hotel and cave registers, which were highly prized, were lost. One of these registers was more than 100 years old. Among the names of notables contained in some of the registers were those of King Edward of England, Jenny Lind, Edwin Booth, the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia and Dom Pedro of Brazil. The hotel was built to accommodate men who were working in the salt-peter mines in the cave. These mines were opened in 1811 and saltpeter derived from them was the main source of this material for the powder mills which supplied the powder for the war of 1812. The mines were discontinued about 1820, but the wooden conduits used in supplying water to them are still in place in some parts of the cave, as are also the vats used in the process of preparing the salt-peter. Mammoth Cave is about 40 miles off of the main line of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad and is reached by means of a private-owned railroad, and the very isolation of the place has shielded it from changes. A visit there was like stepping back into the days before the war. For one standing before the old hotel and looking at the "ox-mobile" used to carry visitors, it required little effort of the imagination to call up the scenes of the grandfathers. Many held a sentimental attachment for the place because of the memories associated with visits to the cave. For many of the older residents of the State Mammoth Cave was the scene of their "bridal trip," as it was a favorite place for spending a honey-moon when travel was more difficult than it is today. Adjacent to Mammoth Cave and adjoining it at certain underground points is Colossal Cavern, owned and conducted by Louisville & Nashville Railroad Co., which also owns about 5,000 acres of land rights about the cavern. In many respects Colossal Cavern is more wonderful than Mammoth Cave. It was discovered in 1893 and during the past few years there has been opened an entrance to Mammoth Cave. It has not been fully explored. The Louisville & Nashville Co. is ready to turn its holdings over to the Government and to construct a fine hotel and institute other accommodations, if ownership of Mammoth Cave is transferred. EAT GRASS, ADVISES EPHRAIM "Nicodemus Done It." He Says, and Waxed Fat. St. Albans,Vt.-Ephraim Sodus of Piney Ridge, near here does not intend to let the high cost of living bother him. Let them keep their "aigs" in cold storage, he says, and their chickens, too, for he has discovered a way to give them the merry ha, ha, and a few chuckles added, if they go too far. "Grass, by gum!" is Ephraim's joyous ejaculation. "Nicodemus of Bible fame et grass," he says, "and he thrived on it, berjinks! And that is perceptively what I'm goin' to do." 89 Telephone Girl Brides. Palestine, Tex.— President J. W. Ozment of the local telephone company, is becoming confused over whether he is operating; a "hello" business or a matrimonial bureau. On Christmas day three of the company's operatives became brides, making a total to date of 89. In addition, six chief operators have resigned to get married. But Ozment is not angry about the wholesale raids upon his staff of operators. He has announced to men in search of brides that there are 16 good ones still on the company's salary list.
