A motion by Representative Kelfer of Ohio to strike out all provision for the fortifl ‘cation of the canal was lost by a vote of 195 to 61. ‘The real interest. in the debate seemed to center in the Tawney amendment, and the specches made for and against it by Mr. Tawney and Mr. Sherley.

"Why, that's too bad!" said my wife sincerely, though somewhat surprised, "I'm awfully sorry, dear child, and we shall miss you, of course. But you mustn't think of going if your head aches. Go upstairs and lie down a while, why don't you, and I'll have some tea sent up to you. It's awfully good for headache." And she spoke to the footman who waited at the door of the automobile. "I will, thanks. Sorry to miss the trip," replied the girl. "You're an angel, Agatha!" And with another farewell word or two we left her and had started on the way to Northbury. And now comes the very strangest part of this rather strange or at least unusual attempt to make a match and win a fortune for a friend at one and the same time on the part of Dearest that I had to leave. And did give me a start when I discovered but this was the way it happened —but this was the way it happened —not to get ahead of my story. We had made a pretty quick run to Northbury and had been spectators at an exhibition of some rather fast cricket which I had been pretty keen about. The two teams had played even until the second half, when Corcoran who was guarding the wicket for the Lowshires—but I don't suppose the details of the game are known. He was well off ahead of Odd thing, but I've r-ver been able to make Doarest understand it at all—I gave up trying years ago. It's the only thing in the world we aren't equally enthusiastic about. She won't admit it, but sometimes I'm afraid it's because she prefers the American game of baseball! Fancy! But of course if she does it it's at the fault of her being too aggressive for bringling her up in the States. But then, naturally, he couldn't help being an American—I try to remember that! As I was saying, however, we had seen the match played to the end in spite of the languid interest displayed by the feminine members of our party, and had lunched at the Northbury inn, a jolly little den of a place, and at about half after two were speeding towards home again. The roads were fairly decent, though there had been a good deal of rain lately, and the machine had been running along so smoothly that it did my heart good to see her. We had left the main road when we had passed Wye village, for one that led more directly to the castle, and had slowed down as the road turned out to be rough than I thought—when the worst happened. I was driving myself, and in steering to clear a fitting tree I ran the big car straight ahead, and in tens of a rut the car wheel went in. I killed the engine at once and jumped out to see what was to be done, disgusted enough. I can tell you, though of course I couldn't possibly have known the thing was so deep, for it was half filled with water. This short cut is a favorite one of mine, though my chauffeuses have often warned me against taking a big car through the woods that cover Wyckoff rise at this point. The trees are so thick and the road so narrow. The worst of the business now, as I soon found out, was that there was no jack to be found in the car's kit of tools with which to raise her, and I remembered with chargin that I had taken it out myself in hunting for something else and had left it, in the garage. Even the satisfaction of blaming some one else was demeled me and I looked at Pederson, the chaufeur, in dismay. "What's to be done," I asked, but received no help from that quarter, only a dismal shake of the head. Nevertheless assistance I did receive, though rather unexpectedly. The accident had occurred, as I have said, in the middle of the woods just where two roads crossed, and standed on the roadside of those roads I now observed a small boy, a little freckle-faced village lad, who stared at us as if he'd never seen an automobile before, and they're surely common enough! But it appeared that he had, for when Freer remarked uselessly and obviously for the third time, "What beastly luck to have forgotten the jack. Now if only it had happened out on the main road instead of in the street, it would have a chance of borrowing one from another car!" the little chap who was standing by, came forward and informed us by a shrill childish pipe that if it was another-machine we wanted he seen a "big feller" come through that same wood not a minute ago and it had stopped not far away, and it was a grim the road over his shoulder toward the road that led to our left. "O, they stopped, did they?" I asked, and thought to myself with some satisfaction that they were in trouble, too. The misery that so often attends an automobilist is especially for company. "Wondered would lend us a jack?" I remarked aloud. "What kind of a machine was it, kid?" "A whoppin' big feller, red, like your lordship's," said the boy. Of course he knew me, even if I dunn know him. He was probably the butcher's or baker's boy from Wye on his way back from the castle. "Sounds rather promising," said Desanté, if they couldn't help us out. I don't want Agatha Lawrence to walk all that way home in this mud!" "Very well," I said, "but it sounds as if they were in need of assistance themselves! Why else should they want to stop in the middle of the woods? However, I'll make the attempt. Freer, you stay by the ladies, and I'll go and see what I can do. And just stopping to give the lady a ride would be better information. I strode the wood road in the direction he had pointed out. I hadn't gone far and was just wondering again what in the world would possess any one to push down so narrow a road in a big machine, when the machine in question came in sight. It was a big touring car, red like mine, to be sure, but an entirely different make, and I stopped and stared at it in an overwhelming connection with the automobile itself. It was the girl who was its sole passenger that held my attention and caused my surprise. Sitting in the WALTER WILSON WALTER WILSON Walter Agatha First Rose in the Machine. front seat, a light ponge coat about her, with an air of expectancy, as if she awaited of some one not far off, sat Agatha First. Yes, the very same. As cheerful and as much herself as if she had not pleaded a headache as an excuse for not automobiling with us that morning. I stood stock still in the road as my unwilling eyes took in this amazing sight, and it was a full minute before my routed wits apprehended the significance of a man's checked automobile coat that hung over the back of the seat beside her. Evidently she was with some one, which somehow seemed less extraordinary at the moment than that she should be stone. Her eyes were not instantly far distant, for even as I stared, Agatha First rose in the machine displaying a huge bunch of wild flowers in her hands as she did so, and halloed to him. "Don't pick any more!" she called, "I don't want any more flowers, I want you!" a laugh quite near at hand sounded for a response and I hurriedly started down the back. I wanted awfully to see who the man that belonged to the checked coat was, but I wanted it was cape borne either by him or by cape borne against an accentic guest, Miss Endcott. The possibility that I might fall in with the former return from his little rumble, flowers in hand, almost made me run, and the fear that in looking for him, the latter was already on the point of discovering my retreating form, caused me to stick close to the roadside and the shelter of the trees like any thief or trespasser. And, by Jove, I did breathe freely that I would win a machine in dressing in the sunlight at crossroads. It's a nasty position for a chap to be caught in, eavesdropping, and if they had seen me they would never have believed I had not been spying on them. "Did you get a jack?" inquired Freer as I came up. He could see perfectly well that I was empty-handed. "No." I said shortly, too absorbed in conjecture the meaning of the strange discovery I had just stumbled upon to invent any excuse for the failure of my errand. "We'll just have to walk home," I said. "Pederson can wait with the car and I'll send him help from the castle." And all the way home I pondered upon my queer adventure. What could Agatha First be doing in a strange automobile in the middle of the woods when she was supposed to be ill at home, and who was the man who was with her, the owner of the checked cest? "Who was the most mysterious part of the whole business to me, and though I racked by brain I could not possibly think who he might be! It wasn't until later that same afternoon of our Northbury trip, when Lady Vincent and I had ascended to our rooms to dress for dinner, that I found a chance to tell her the news. I can always be sure of an uninterrupted chat with her then. "And so you saw her sitting in the automobile alone in the middle of the finished my breathless rectal. "Yes, that is as far as I could see, she was alone." I replied. "But you forget the man's laugh and the checked coat. There was a man with her right enough, and though I didn't think so at the time, I think now that makes the thing much more mysterious." "Of course there was a man with her, remarked Dearest. "It was a lover's tryst, as plain as plain can be." Dearest in so much detail. But on such a time I'll have to admit she's nearly always right. "But who under high heaven could it have been?" I cried, never more puzzled in my life. "We know it wasn't Freer; he was with us all the time, and Terhune has been in London all day!" "He said he was going to be in London," remarked my wife with the slightest possible emphasis on the ```markdown ``` "said." I gaped at her a moment then seized her shoulder. "Do you mean to say it was Archi bald? I cried, who was the owner of the checked coat?" "I didn't say," she replied, "only it does look a little like it, doesn't it? You see he couldn't go to the cricket with us because he had to go up to London, and she, because she had a headache. Volla tout!" "But we saw the wire," I objected. "Oh, as to that!" she called. He had only to write one himself and tell the station-master to send it over. We none of us examined it closely. It's an old dodge, you know." "So it is!!" I cried, "and you're right. It must have been old Terhune! What a dunderhead I've been not to see it before! But I say," I added, less exuberantly as a thought struck me, "if that's the case, what does he mean by it, Dearest? What do they both mean by it, he and she! And what does it portend in regard to the match we're trying to make between Arch and Lawrence? Answer any of those questions if you can! Wiseacre that you are, I be lieve you'll have to let me count ten on that!" "I'm afraid I will," she admitted, as puzzled as I was. "You see I never knew Agatha Endicott as well as I did the other five Agathas—as well as I do Agatha Hath, and then you knew Sith Kass, and before, and this is the first time I've seen Agatha First since we parted on the occasion of my marriage." (SO BE CONTAINED) "Do you remember me buying a hair mattress from you the day?" asked the lady. "Perfectly well, ma'am," was the reply of the dealer. "Well, I've discovered that only about one-quarter of the filling is hair." "Then you certainly do seem to have me where the hair is short, ma'am." PART TWO. CHAPTER VI. Hats and Coiffures C IT IS to the small hats for early spring, made of exquisite, lustrous, light braids, that is light in weight. And these little hats are soft, many of them made without a wire frame, so that they sit caressingly upon the hair and conform themselves to the shape of the head. And a few people have jumped to the conclusion that beaked hats are better for her dressing the hair will sink into one of the unimportant and negligible details of the toilette. Such a conclusion is not reached by a course of reasoning. If you have absorbed it, "I pray you gentle lady, to unthink your speaking, and to say so no more." The small hat, even more than the large one demands a well dressed collar; for the colfure is the visible means of support of the little hat. Hair, in pretty cuffs or softy waves, simply demands a well dressed collar of the hat and frame the face and neck, otherwise the wearer will look as if she were bald. These small hats worn over a coifte from which a few stray puffs and bobbing curls contrive to stray out, and covered with a fine floating vell of wool, are the most beautiful weaves in a variety of fancy weaves. Nothing is prettier than a Pattern Simple In Construction and Garment Most Comfortable to Wear. Anyone who wants to make a nightdress with little trouble should use this pattern, as it is very simple in construction and comfortable to wear; the sleeves are cut in with the body part, an opening being made down the left side; the neck is cut square and trimmed with two rows of insertion ml- 10 tered at the corners, but the pattern is cut quite up to the neck, so that one row of trimming only need be used. The sleeves are gathered into inscribed themed bands, and are finished with lace. Materials required: Four yards 36 inches wide. Care of Silk Gloves In trying on silk gloves cover the hands well with talcum and you will not tear the gloves. If a seam rips, do not whip it over and, over. Turn the glove, catch one side of the torn part, and then the opposite, pull the glove down to will rip out. Do not knot the thread. Mend a "run" in a similar manner. SCARF OF SHETLAND WOOL One of the Prettiest and Most Comfortable of the Season's Head Coverings. Something more than a coat is required by the girl going forth in the evening to some gala function or other. She needs a head muffling, a throat protector of some sort, and is very well protected if she has velvet wool mittens and long wool mittens for the thin gloves. These things make her comfortable, and if they are selected they need not be clumsy or unbecoming. One of the cheapest and most rewarding head mufflings of the season is the Shetland wool scarf or auto velil, for these pretty things can be worn over the face. These filmy scars come in all colors and pure white, as well as in white with gray Scotch borders. For a dark or vivid color in her party get the Scotch-border scars are superb. They have a look of Mexican splendor and cost exactly one dollar and ten cents each! Brussels net with a little dot or figure over the surface and a lace pattern in the border. Two good models in small hats are shown here. In Fig. 1 the round, cap-like turban is made of silk braid in bright champagne color, the brim and crown are both made of the braid, and the cap is draped on the fine light frame. These hats are not for the amateur millinery, because they require a knowledge of the art of draping. The rosette and petal is made of brown velvet and gold cord. It is a beautiful color combination, and suited to almost any color in the costume. The second hat is of an elegant braid in black and white. It is trimmed with velvet and finished with velvet covered buttons. It is a cool and crisp combination of black and white which we can never hope to excel in elegance. Imagine these hats on a head with the hair drawn back and not appearing about the face and neck! The pretty face and the pretty hats would both be spoiled. The importance of the coifure with the small hat increases. They are both well worth while. JULIA BOTTLEY. Pretty and Useful Trifles That Will Lighter. Lighten the Bill of the black Room. Among the appropriate things for the invalid are flower holders. These can be fastened to the foot of the bed, and are large enough to hold three or four carnations or roses, generally all that are to be allowed in the slick room. Another acceptable gift is a dainty piece of china—a flower bordered plate, a gruel bowl of eggshell thinness, or a fragile cup and saucer of delicate design. Never mind if these things are likely to break with their first tumble; because of their beauty, they will give enough pleasure, perhaps real benefit, to make their possible short existence well written case, provide a lightweight leather writing case, provide a screw-top bottle of ink, with comments for paper, envelopes, stamps, and pen and pencil, gives the invalid a strong enough to write a certain feeling of independence. Some of these cases have keys which add to their usefulness. A pint or half pint vacuum bottle, for keeping liquids warm or cold, is another comfort-giving gift for the invalid and a time-saving gift for the nurse or caretaker. Novelties. Nets are gaining in favor as a foundation for chiffon corsages, producing a much softer effect than silk. Large velvet bags with the personal touch of an embroidered monogram in one corner are much favored. Among scarfs the newest material is the silk tricor, like glove silk. They come in all the fashionable shades. Many of the sleeves in the new evening gowns are slashed, with any other material appearing underneath. Two Little Hints Do not throw away boot polish when it has become hard through the lid being left off, but place it on top of a warm oven until it softens. I have tried it and found it worth the trouble. Open a tin of black lead, pull away the paper and put it in front of the fire—on the fender will do. It will open quite readily and better than knocking the tin with a knife. A. Criterion. "Are the Burfords esthetic?" "I should say not! There isn't Navajo blanket on the place." New Note Paper Attractive new note paper is shown in the shops. It is in faint tones of blue, invender, tan and shades of gray. There are lines in deeper tones of the same color running up and down the walls across it. This gives it a smart look and we make it a favorite for those who like odd stationery. The Sailor Collar The big sailor collar or square backed collar is certain to play an important role this summer as it has during the winter, and in handsome open lace or open work embroidery a big collar of this type might be effective upon any pretty summer material from linen to mull. As Bad as That! "I guarantee that this play will not bring a blush to anybody's cheek," said the able author. "Why produce it then?" replied the New York man. "Don't you know that many of my patrons come to the bo office and want their money back if they haven't blushed?" FORBIDDEN FRUIT "The apples, has come," Hilda announced, as she opened the front door to Mrs. Nickell's ring. "Apples?" echoed Mrs. Nickell, pausing in the act of laying down her packages. "What apples?" "The apples," explained Hilda, comprehensively. "They are in the cellar already and he opened them and they are very good I am one." "Hilda," said Mrs. Nickell, sternly, "who is he and what apples did he open and what on earth are you talking about?" Hilda bestowed upon her employer a pitying look and checked off the nouns on her red fingers. "The express wagon man, he brought a barrel of apples this afternoon and put them downstairs and took the cover because I ask him. He wore a yellow jacket and the apples are red." It seemed that she was as complete and detailed an account of the barrel of apples as the Nickell family was destined to obtain from any source. When Nickell came home from work the family gathered around the mysterious barrel and considered it. There was on it no mark or tag and it was hard to cover the Hilda had tilted into the furnace when the expressman took them off. She did not know what express company the man worked for, but she explained in detail that the man had a black mustache and handsome corduroy trousers. Meanwhile the apples stared them in the face. "Say, they are good!" said Nickell, when he had bitten into one. "They remind me of my boyhood days!" "Richard," remonstrated his wife, "we shouldn't eat them. They aren't ours!" "Well, we've got 'em, haven't we?" demanded Nickell, taking another. "We didn't knock down anyone and by the time they were far from him the rice did we? These apples were thrust upon us against our will and I intend to have revenge on somebody. Besides, they're taking up storage room." In a day or so Mrs. Nickell grew used to the presence of the barrel of apples and, the mystery remaining unsolved, she deserted the paths of recruitment and joined her husband and his wife. They were prepared. The Nickell family had apples baked for breakfast and stewed for lunch and made into pies and puddings for dinner, and feasted off them at midnight. They really were particularly juicy, totose apples. Nickell had gone over all the people he knew in the country and had definitely decided that not one of them would loosen up sufficiently to present him with a piece of totose apples instead of apples. It was very odd. Nearly two weeks after the arrival of the barrel the woman next door called. "Isn't it funny how things get lost?" she remarked to Mrs. Nickell as she fastened her fur to go. "We ordered a barrel of apples from the farm near the cottage, but the cottage insists that he shipped them nearly three weeks ago and we haven't got them yet! And he has our money! I'd give a good deal to know where that barrel is! Have you got a headache, Mrs. Nickell? Your face is so flushed!" "I can tell you 'where that barrel is,' her hostess said, when she got her groove it is down in our celtic this minute and nearly half the apples are eaten up!" It took Mrs. Nickell some time to recover from the embarrassed glouten into which this little episode plunged them. Though the family conversation was tactfully steered away from such topics as apples and orchards, she was not alone. She had sudden preference for oranges and dates and grapefruit, apples by sheer force of repression ruled in the minds of all of them. The woman next door was a disagreeable person and she had accepted Nickell's liberal consultatory check for fruit eaten with an all of right. The woman and disapproval that was hard to bear. It was probably some occult connection with this secret sorrow that led Nickell to do as he did a little later. When he had left for business that morning Mrs. Nickell had reminded her of the dinner party that evening and that he was to bring home some flowers. On his way for the flowers that night Nickell paused before the attractive window of a big fruit store. The window was a work of art and in the center was a mound of the biggest edible, most luxurious apples one night. As he gazed Nickell had an inspiration. Why would not a centerpiece of this fragrant fruit with a few ferns twisted in be far more original and artful than the conventional flowers? He went in and ordered two dozen of the apples. They made a bukky, and he began to regret the purchase an he fumbled the pocket. "How much?" he inquired. "They are 20 cents apples," said the clerk. "Murder!" cried the startled Nickell—and dropped the bag. Brushed apples will not sell to the fruit store man firmly explained to Nickell who insisted on returning his purchase. The fruit had been collected from all over the floor. So he paid the $4.80. Nobody mentions apples in the Nickell family now. American Knee Bends Only to Two. When the czar of Russia was the most conspicuous personage in Europe a visitor at Washington was relating how strangers to the czar knelt in his presence. On finishing the story the speaker remarked to Senator Benton: "I suppose, colonel, that you would no think of kneeling to the czar" "I think I would be replied with tremendous emblems, no sir, no sir. An American knees only to God and woman, sir." "Up-to-date farmer, isn't he?" "Gee, yes." He pastures his milkweed." Leads a Courrier Journal. PROTESTS WILL NOT AVAIL Lack of Years and Experience Are Alleged as Two Leading Grounds Against Man to Succeed MacLean. Des Moine, March 3.—President Trewin of the educational board said of the agitation against Bowman's appointment: "The state board of education will stand pat on its appointment. That appointment was not made until after the most careful investigation into Mr. Bowman's ability, experience, qualifications and especially his executive ability. It was the unanimous opinion of the board, after careful investigation, that Mr. Bowman is the one man in the country for the place. He was recommended by the best educators of the country as the most capable unemployed person who could be secured for the presidency of a great institution like the Iowa State university. It is strange that alumni who only remember him as a student, should criticise the board for choosing a man so highly recommended and so well qualified. They should remember that they were young once and not pin the roses of youth on him as a reason for his rejection. The board had long interviews with him on every important question affecting the university and we found his judgment sound. He should not be condemned without a fair trial. I repeat, the board will stand uneasy with this appointment because we believe that he offered the best man possible. He was offered the presidency of the Rockefeller Institute, was second choice for president of Minnesota university at $10,000 per year and the Vermont university is after him for president. There will be no receding by the board from his election." DEPOSITORS MAY NOT LOSE Committee Claims Henry Banks and C. F. Siverly Must Stand Back of Banker. Des Moines, March 3.—Depositors of the bank of Kelley filed a petition in the federal court yesterday asking that a receiver be appointed to take charge of the bank. The petitioners are George Holland, who said he had a deposit of $3,000. H. O. Sandness, with a deposit of $1,000, and Anton Reinerton, with a deposit of $1,184. All are residents of Kelley. Attached to the petition is a list of 120 depositors but the amount each one had in the bank is not named. It may be that depositors in the Bank of Kelley will not lose their savings in the defunct institution. A committee of five, named by the depositors, has discovered a statement issued some months ago in which Henry Banks and C. F. Siverly are named as partners with Penfield, the missing president. If that is true Banks and Siverly can be held for the shortage and the depositors will probably bring action against them, so Des Moines attorney says. Banks is the father-in-law of Penfield. Royal Neighbors Meet. Cedar Rapids, Ia., March 3.

BIG CELEBRATION IN WASHINGTON Midwinter Meeting of Farfamed Social Organization Takes Up Life and Work of Two Great Americans. President Thirkield of Harvard University Makes Semiannual Report. By OLIVER RANDOLPH. Washington.—At the February meeting of the Mu-So-Life club the evening was given over to a Lincoln-Dougless celebration. President Arthur S. Gray, the newly elected executive, was in the chair. Professor E. C. Williams, principal of the M Street high school, delivered a scholarly address on Abraham Lincoln. He traced with the precision of the careful student of history the career of the great "tail splitter" and discussed in detail the humaneness, the honesty and the originality of Lincoln. Professor Williams also spoke of Lincoln's great speeches, putting stress on his Gettysburg speech and the second inaugural address. Professor J. Montgomery Gregory of Howard university delivered the address on Fred Douglass, Mr. Gregory is a speaker of much force and earnestness and made a splendid impression on Washingtonians in this his maiden speech here. He is a graduate of Harvard college, where he won honors as a debater. The lessons drawn from the life of Douglass by Mr. Gregory were impressed upon his bearers with much force. After rehearsing the early history of Douglass' life Mr. Gregory said that Douglass was never content until he measured up to the full rights of a DR. ARTHUR S. GRAY. man. He exhorted the men of the race to measure up to the full height of menhood. Judge M. W. Gibbs, formerly of Arkansas, who now resides in this city with his son-in-law and daughter, Atorney and Mrs. N. B. Marshall, was the next speaker. Judge Gibbs has a most interesting history. He is in his eight-seventh year, was prominent in Arkansas politics during reconstruction, was United States consul to Madagascar and has been commissioned to hold office by four presidents of the United States. He gave his early acquaintance with Douglass, which began in 1848, and spoke of the influence of Douglass on his life. "The life of Douglass convinced the world," said Hon. Charles A. Cottrell, collector of internal revenue at Honolulu. Hawaii, "that beneath the black face and kinky hair were limitless possibilities." Mr. Cottrell spoke also of the life of Abraham Lincoln. Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland of Newport, R. L. was also a guest of the PROFESSOR W. C. WILLIAMS evening and made some pertinent comments on the lives of Lincoln and Douglass, Dr. Wheatland is well known in Washington, where he graduated from Howard Medical college. He is a former president of the National Medical association and is a physician and surgeon of renown, Dr. Wheatland and Mr. Cottrell were, upon motion of Hon. W. T. Vernon, given honorary membership in the Mu-So-Lit club. Short talks were made by Lieutenant Thomas H. R. Clarke, Dr. W. L. Board, Dr. W. Bruce Evans, John Cromwell, H. A. Pelham, S. J. Davidson, Judge R. H. Terrell, Oliver Randolph, James A. Cobb, Garnet Wilkinson, F. L. Carbosa, Dr. A. M. Curtis, J. C. Waters and Hon. John C. Duncy. Progress at Howard University. At the seminannual meeting of the board of trustees of Howard univer CLARINDA ITEMS. I wish to call your attention to a portion of Clarinda's item that appeared in last week's write up. In the article I notice that the writer stated that Mr. Robert Lane of the Second Baptist church was ordained by Rev. John W. Evans, pastor, this is somewhat a mistake. I wish to have it read that the Second Baptist church granted brother Robert Lane license to preach, and not ordained to preach. The second quarterly meeting of the A. M. B. church of Council Bluffs, Ia., city, which was recently held in Carnegie library at the university, Justice Job Barnard, president of the board, presided. The report of President Thirklethwaite shows a favorable condition of the institution. The attendance surpassed that of any previous year, with an entering college class of 107 freshmen. This shows that a growing conviction on the part of the colored youth that if they are to meet the increasing demands of the race for leadership as physicians, preachers, teachers, lawyers and industrial leaders a mere preparatory course will not suffice. The fact that since emancipation there have been only an average of seventy-five colored graduates per year makes the need for college trained men apparent. This increase is also a prompt response to the enlarged opportunities open at Howard. Large numbers who formerly went to northern colleges now receive their training here. There are more than 600 students receiving popular instruction in physics, chemistry and biology in the new P. A. DR. MARCUS P. WHEATLAND. science hall, four professors and three regular instructors giving their entire time to the work of science instruction, besides seven student assistants. The Rev. Dr. Pezaria O'Connell of Salisbury, Md., was unanimously elected to the chair of church history and Scripture exegesis made vacant by the death of Dr. John L. Ewell, who for twenty years held that position. Dr. O'Connell is a man of unusual scholarship. Professor Morris Jastrow, Jr., of the University of Pennsylvania, where Dr. O'Connell took his degree, says: "He has the mind and method of a real investigator, and I am satisfied that he will make additions to our knowledge of the Old Testament. He has also a most useful and happy manner of exposition, and I cannot imagine any better fortune for aspirants to knowledge in a seminary than to come into contact with such a man." President Francis Brown of the Union Theological seminary speaks of him as "a scholar of remarkable ability and a gentleman of cultivation and personal attractiveness." The position in the School of Law made vacant by the death of Mr Thomas I. Woodward, who for eight years and been a lecturer on the law of real estate, was not filled. On recommendation of the dean, Mr. George Francis Williams, one of the professors was appointed to temporarily fill the chair for the remainder of the year. The report of the treasurer showed the institution without debt. The budget for the year, however, most right economy can a deficit be avoided on account of the large increase of students and the enlargement of the teaching force. The rapid increase of Young Men's Christian association buildings for colored men in the north and south has made a demand for a training school for secretaries. At the urgent request of the International Young Men's Christian association committee the board has authorized the opening of a Young Men's Christian association training school, the work to be provided for by the present teaching force in the School of Theology and college, with assistance from the officers of the central Young Men's Christian association and from the two international secretaries who are located in this city. Mothers' Day Nursery to Reopen. At the February meeting of the Lincoln Settlement association held in the interest of the Mothers' Day nursery in Brooklyn, plans were perfected for the reopening of the nursery early in March. The officers of the day nursery department of the Settlement association are: President Dr. V. Morton Jones; vice president, Mrs. Alice Wiley Seay; secretary, Miss Gertrude E. Johnson; assistant secretary, Miss Catherine E. Washington; treasurer, W. Russell Johnson. Warning to Federal Government. The effort to elect United States senators by a direct vote of the people deserves to fail, says the Dallas (Tex.) Express. The idea is born in sin and soaked in iniquity. The very day the federal government leads its sanction to this heresy that day the national government acknowledges the legality of the unlawful and dialectical methods now being resorted to to disfranchise the Negro nation in the south. Wisdom In Becoming Politically Wise. The Illinois idea, edited and published by Mr. S. B. Turner in Chicago, says editorially colored men are becoming wise politically. They are taking part in all the different campaigns and are dividing their votes like any other nationality. Feb. 20, 1911. Rev. M. I. Gordon, Presiding Elder. During the meeting the presence of the Lord seems to be among the people. All seemed to enjoy the meetings. Total collected for this quarter, $177.75. The election of trustees resulted in the election of Fred Means and R. V. Robinson, and W. H. Herindon, for the ensuing year. The stewardesses will be appointed next week.

DAVENPORT Mrs. Cecil Carter of West 11th street entertained on Washington's birthday. Plates were spread for eight. The entertainment given by the Fuel and Light committee at the A. M. E. church Feb. 21st was a grand affair. This committee is composed of men and women who were dressed in George and Martha Washington style. The program was unique in every particular. The Yankee Doodle Kitchen brought the house to laughter and awakened all that was jovial in the human nature. This committee deserves credit for the way they do things. The officials' meeting which was held the 15th inst., awakened quite an interest. The next meeting will be held the 16th inst. M. E. church line, when the same subjects will be discussed more fully. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Merchant, who have been rooming and boarding with Mr. and Mrs. E. Green, have gone to housekeeping at Ripley and Tenth streets, where they will be pleased to meet their many friends. There are quite a number of people joining the A. M. E. Church, 16 having united with the church since confrence. The pastor thinks this write good considering the fact that the church has not been in a position to have a revival. The Third Bantist church is also building up rapidly under their new pastor, Rev, J. L. E. Burr. Rev. Burr visited in Ohio last week. He returned home Saturday evening full of inspiration and delighted his audience with two able sermons, Sunday morning and evening. Mr. Frank Pitts, of Mobley, Mo. has bought property at 111th and Farnum streets. We welcome Mr. Pitts as property owners are destined to add prestige to the race. The Junior department of the Allen League is entertaining the young people very beautifully every Sunday afternoon. They meet from three to four, and no one can spend an hour more profitably than with them. It is a delightful scene to behold the great Endeavour classes and learning as it were, at the fort of Gamamel. The president desires to thank the young people for the interest in church work. The papers read by Master Thos. Stovall, Jr. and Miss Freda Festa were indeed able papers for their tender ages. The Tribe of Israel, a play on the Third Baptist church on the 20th inst. proved to be a delightful play. A junior choir has been organized at the Third Baptist to add beauty to the Sunset bible chaper. Mrs. Rachel Battles is choirier. Mrs. A. D. Sumlin returned from Evanston Saturday where she was called to a sleek mother. She left her mother much improved. Mr. C. P. Jones received the sad news Sunday of the death of a sister in Des Moines. We join in sympathy with Mr. Jones in this, his hour of bereavement. Mr. Fred Callaway, who underwent a very serious operation, is reported out of danger. Mr. M. O. Culberson, dist. superintendent of the Sunday schools of the Keokuk district visited Bethel's school Sunday morning, and expressed himself as being delighted with the way things were being conducted in his school here in Davenport, 43 of the 52 enrollment were present to greet their superintendent on his annual visit. Mr. Culberson in his way said some very enchanting things. We wish he would come a little oftener, because he brings sunshine. Rev. S. Straws of Fairfield, Iowa, preached at Bethel, Sunday evening. Subject: Acquaint yourself with the Lord and be at peace. Bro. Straws treated this subtest from a spiritual and practical standpoint to the delight of all. The Twentieth Century club met at the home of the president, Monday evening at 616 Eastern avenue. All the members were present and had a delightful time. The club will give an entertainment in the near future. The A. M. B. stewardesses met at the paranouse Monday afternoon and arranged for a brownie entertainment which will be announced later. Mrs. Lydia B. Crawford who has been quite sick is able to be out again. Mr. and Mrs. David Delward of Moline and Mrs. Mason of Monmouth were callers at the A. M. E. parsonage last week. Mrs. Flora Lyons of Galenburg visited her parents Mr. and Mrs. Scott McGaw on the 22nd inst. her profession who has been Scott said Mr. G. W. Harrison who has been obtained is nice, better. quite sick is taken up residence in Davenport. Mr. Charles Davis and Miss Betle White were quietly married last week in Rock Island.

Although the use of bloodhounds for tracking criminals still survives, another ancient use of these dogs seems to have died out. Bloodhounds were at one time often called upon to assist an army in the field, the forces with which the earl of Essex suppressed the Irish rebellion in the time of Elizabeth, for instance, being accompanied by $00 dogs. In the Scottish clan feuds and the wars between England and Scotland bloodhounds were regularly employed in tracking fugitive warriors, and both Wallace and Bruce were hunted in this manner. Wallace is said to have baffled his pursuers by killing a follower and leaving the corpse for the hound to find, while Bruce adopted the less cruel plan of wading some distance down a stream and ascending a tree which overhung the water.

It is just the same with merchandise, a worthless article put on the market ill not only kitlitself in course of time, but will also prove a hindrance to good articles.

Relieving in the foregoing, it affords the editor pleasure in speaking a word in behalf of Ford's Hair Pomade, en article that has been on the market for many years and while there has been many worthless imitations put out, this article has lived and is bound to live and prosper long after the worthless trash is consigned to the waste basket.
