Seated in her studio, Miss Lulu Vere Childers, director of music of Howard university, spoke of her favorite masters, discussed the musical side of Howard university and enthused over the bright prospects of the next session. It is a fact that this young woman has worked up a department in Howard university during the four years that she has been at that school. The musical side of Howard had not been developed, but since the coming of Miss Childers the university has won a place in the musical world that is indeed enviable. Vesper services at the old school had fallen into disfavor and were not attended, oratory and athletics were the only institution Howard still has spectacular standpoint, but now Howard has her vested chair, and the song services, cantatas, oratories and other musical entertainments are the delight of Washingtonians. The social side has improved wonderfully also, and from about $500 in MISS LULU VEHRE CHILDREN. come per annum four years ago the musical department has increased its income to near $1,200 per annum. The students in that department have increased in the same time from eleven to fifty. This gives an idea of the great work done by Miss Childers. But Miss Childers is exceptionally fitted for her work. She has studied extensively in her chosen profession. Besides the paintings of the great masters that decorate the walls of her studio, there hangs a diploma of bachelor of music from Oberlin. She has just finished a course under William Shakespeare, the celebrated London voice instructor; she has studied in Chicago Musical college, in Detroit, Mich., and under some of the greatest private instructors in the United States. She teaches all branches of music and takes especial pride in teaching voice culture and the art of directing. Closely connected with Miss Childers is her able assistant, Miss C. Beatrice Lewis, who is an accompanist of much promise. Miss Lewis has studied in the New England Conservatory of Music and has the soul and temperament of a musician. These two young women have given a decided improvement to the musical side of Howard-have, in fact, given a tone of culture to a hitherto undeveloped field. CURRY INSTITUTE'S SUCCESS.

Chandler of Columbus, O, who was assisted by the Rev. George A. Smith, and two able addresses by President E. W. B. Curry. Uplift by Self Help. The Negro's destiny is in his own hands and no one else, and it is up to him not to wait to be lifted up by some one else or race, but he must do so himself by plaus and useful living. He must make himself an agreeable citizen by doing his whole duty as a man and a clitine, own property, get an education, learn industry, pay his taxes unseen, and learn to obey the laws. Don't go about always complaining about this and that; this is a wide world and plenty to do in it. Let us get busy and know our place and stay in it—Natches Weekly Record. CHUNG SING TELLS POLICE HOW ELSIE SIGEL WAS SLAIN. New York—Having learned Tuesday through the statement of Chung Sin, who forced the terrible "third degree" for which the New York police are notorious, that Leon Ling killed Elsie Sigel, the detective department is working with renewed energy to find the Chinese murderer. Under the terrific pressure of the "third degree," the little Chinaman admitted that he had seen the body in Leon's Ling's room, that he had touched it while it was still warm, that he had touched it while it was still warm, that wached Leon Ling's preparations for placing the body in the trunk where it was found last Friday night. Chung Sin, in fact, if what was learned at the original courts building is correct, described almost everything concerning the murder of Mal Gen. Franz Sigel's granddaughter, except the actual commission of the crime. He denied any implication in it and protested stoutly that he was ignorant of the murder of Ling, supposed murderer. After the inquest he was taken before Coronet Harburger and held in $10,000 bail in the house of detention to await the inquest. New, York.—If the statement made by Chung Sing, accusing Leon Ling of having killed Elisse Sigel has given the authorities any tangible clew to the hiding place of Leon the police have not made it known, and it resumed its investigation. One report says Ling escaped by donning woman's garb, using part of Elisse Sigel's clothing. The discovery that Leon was bred an actor and the knowledge that all Chinese actors are trained to take female parts did not, on second thought, greatly impress the police with the idea that he would disguise himself. It is much more probable, the police believe, that their man either took船 as a sailor or cook, or has worked his way south into some of the obscure colonies on the outskirts of New Orleans, Baltimore, or Lydia Moffett, pretty and 17, was rescued Wednesday afternoon from a flat above a chop suet restaurant at 776 Eighth avenue, only a few doors from where Elsie Sigel was slain. Lydia had been lured by a Chinaman and held a prisoner six days by a middle-aged white man, the latter an opium flend. The drug fiend gave the name of George Tracey. BARE FRENCH NAVY SCANDAL Fleet Casting $700,000,000 Would Be Without Coal in Six Hours, Says Report. Paris. — The report of the parliamentary commission which investigated the naval scandals in France has been turned in. It is a scathing condemnation of the naval administration for the last ten years, and it makes an astounding exposure of the deplorable condition of the fleet for which France has spent $700,000,000 since 1899. The 350 pages of the report are filled with details of the inefficiency resulting from confusion and red tape, conditions that make French naval construction cost 25 per cent. more than the average. Perhaps the gravest feature of the exposure is the lack of reserve coal and ammunition supplies at the various ports and arsenals. One officer testified before the commission that at the end of a naval battle of six hours the ships would find it impossible to replenish and would be virtually out of commission. EARTHQUAKE SHAKES WEST. District, Supposedly Out of Zone of Grass- Valley, Cal. — An earthquake, the most severe shock expired perished in several years, occurred in this vicinity.

EXPLOSION KILLS 17 Women Volunteer for Rescue Work When Report Spreads That Sixty- Five Are Entombed—Official Says All Bodies Are Found. Wehrum, Pa.—Further search for bodies was made Thursday in mine No. 4 of the Lackawanna Coal & Coke Company where 17 men were killed and 16 injured Wednesday by the explosion of gas. It was being that all the bodies be taken out and that the reports of 65 being entombed were exaggerated. Only one American was killed. Inspector Joseph Willis uss of Altoona with a party entered the mine shortly after eight o'clock at night to ascertain whether anyone was yet entombed. All but two rooms of the mine were thoroughly searched and it was announced that it was thought more remote than the other. Converse Hammera has not yet set the date of an investigation of the explosion. Superintendent A. M. Johnson said that while the mine has always been regarded as non-gaseous, the explosion was due to the ignition of a pocket of gas by the open lamp of a miner. "The mine has been so free from gas for the last six years," said the superintendent, "that the state in Altoona has committed to open lamps. With 17 dead and 16 injured, I am of the opinion that every one has been accounted for who entered the mine." The mine has only been operating two days each week. Tuesday and Friday. Those in the mine had entered the shaft for their daily allowance of coal for family use. Grouped about the slope entrance of the mine just below the explosion were several Italianans. When the terrific subterranean upheaval of rock and deadly gas spouted skyward these Italianans were caught. Terribly burned and malmed, they rushed about the settlement crying for aid. The cries and sound of hissing mine gas at the entrance of the mine brought the entire town to the scene. Superintendent W. N. Johnson, backed by the office force of the company, stood at the mine entrance and held back the frantic women whose relatives were entombed. The first man to reach the surface was A. L. Johnson, son of the superintendent. Young Johnson had been sent to the mine where he on his arms, body and neck, and was stated he had inhaled flame. Following the superintendent's son came two italians, their faces burned to a crisp. They were attended by the mine physician. Superintendent Johnson called for volunteers to enter the mine. In the volunteer ranks stood several women. These were ordered back. With wet handkerchiefs tied over their faces, equals of the soldier party started driving the hole. Of who started, four came back with their senses. The others, overcome with black damp, were pulled to the surface with ropes. Oxygen, sent by the Cambria steel works, aided the searchers and with safety helmets, a fourth rescue party succeeded in bringing 12 bodies to the surface.

"I lost my appetite and the very thought of food grew distasteful, with the last meal was not nourished and got weak and I needed." "My home carees were very heavy, for besides a large family of my own I have also to look out for my aged mother. There was no one to shoulder my household burdens, and come what might, I must bear them, and this thought nearly drove me frantic when I realized that my health was breaking down. "I read an article in the paper about some one with trouble just like mine being cured on Grape-Nuts food and acting on this suggestion I gave Grape-Nuts a trial. The first dish of this delicious food proved that I had struck the right thing. "My uncomfortable feelings in stomach and brain disappeared as if by an an incredibly short space of time I had not been there. I have gained 12 pounds, weight through a summer of hard work and realise I am a very different woman, all due to the splendid food, Grape-Nuts." "There's a Reason." Trial will prove.

WOMAN IS SLAIN NUDE BODY FOUND IN RIVER Was Weighted Down With Iron Pot—Newspaper Man, Charged With Crime, Is Captured—He Was "Writing Up" the Murder. St. Michael's, Md., June 25.—Practically the entire eastern shore of Maryland is arused over the brutal murder of Mrs. Edith May Woodhill, wife of Gilbert Woodhill, an automobile dealer of Los Angeles, Cal., whose nude body, the skull crushed in from a blow apparently delivered from behind, the face horribly disgusted, the entire body swollen from the effects of several days' immersion and weighted with an iron pot containing half a doorkrink, was discovered by boys who were crabbing in Back creek, a tributary of Chokpank river, not far from the home of Mrs. Woodhill's foster father, Capt. Charles H. Thompson, a few miles from here. John T. Roberta, a newspaper man, was with Mrs. Woodill when she was seen for the last known time and he is accused of having committed the murder. The motive for the crime is at present a mystery. Roberts is 50 years old, five feet six inches tall, stout, smooth shaven, with abundant, bushy hair, and a ruddy complexion. He limps and wears a brace on one leg. He claims to be a magazine writer and general correspondent of newspapers. He is even said to have declared that he returned to this locality after a short absence for the express purpose of writing up the murder of which he is now accused of committing. Mr. and Mrs. Woodill came here early this month. During that time Mrs. Woodill and Roberts are said to have seen much of each other. Last Saturday Mrs. Woodill went to Etonst to have some dental work done and it had been arranged that Roberts should meet her at Royal Oak and return with her to her home. Roberts missed the train for Royal Oak and drove there, met Mrs. Woodill and drove with her back here to the landing where his launch was moored. They entered the launch and Mrs. Woodill was not seen alive again so far as has been learned. Roberts Captured. St. Michael's, June 25.—At 11 o'clock last night word reached here that J. T.

Eye-Balls and Lids Became Terribly inflamed—Was Unable to Go About—All Other Treatments Failed, But Cuticura Proved Successful. "About two years ago my eyes got in such a condition that I was unable to go about. They were terribly inflamed, both the balsa and lids tried home remedies without relief. Then I decided to go to our family physician, but he didn't help them. Then I tried two more of our most prominent physicians, but my eyes grew continually worse. At this time a friend of mine advised me to try Cuticura Ointment, and after using it about one week my eyes were considerably improved, and in two weeks they were almost well.
