LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." Girl,17,Knocked Down, Robbed Of A Dime By A Negro. Miss Artie Nuckles Loses Both Her Slippers Kicking at Assailant. Miss Artie Nuckles 17 years old 8541 Mora lane, was attacked and choked yesterday at noon by a negro near Moline Creek, west of Bellefontane Cemetery, when on her way to a grocery store to pay a bill. Miss Nuckles who is of frail build kicked her assailant and screamed until he snatched her purse and fled. She was picked up by Carl T. Hugo and taken to her home. Patrolman William Moyer of the Angelica Street Station, a brother-in-law with whom Miss Nuckles makes her home, buckled on his revolver and searched the neighborhood for two hours a squad of mounted police district brought several negroes found in the vicinity to Miss Knuckles for identification. She recognized none and they were released. The girl whose parents live in Vandalia have been in St Louis only a month. She left the house yesterday about noon to go to a store about a mile away; the neighborhood is sparsely settled and is lonely. As she crossed Moline Creek near the Wabash tracks a negro stepped from behind a tree and grabbed for her purse. In the struggle which followed Miss Knuckles iost both of her slippers kicking at the man walked home without them. In the purse was a check ior $2 and a dime. The check which was signed for Moyer later was found a few feet away. At her home Miss Nuckles was treated by Dr. John P. Stein, Goodfellow and McLaren avenues He found she had suffered scratches on the face and her neck had been bruised by the negro's finiers. She also suffered from the shock and was confined to her bed. Miss Nuckles described her assailant as a large and very black negro, about 30 years old. He wore a blue shirt, black trousers and a black slouch hat. —Globe Democrat. MARRIED. Mr G. B. Alston and Miss Laura Hutchinson were united in the Holy Bonds of Matrimony Monday Sept. 6th, 1915. Mr. Alston is the second son of Prof. and Mrs. J. D. Alston, and is an industrious and highly respected young man and is now studying law. Miss Hutchinson is the daughter of Mrs. Laura Hutchinson, and a nice young lady, with a lovable and kind disposition and we see no reason why they should not succeed in life. The Gazette wishes them much joy and a smooth voyage while sailing through this life. MONEY TO PATENT BUS may be secured our address THE PATENT RECURS BOLD ATTEMPT BY THREE NEGROES TO BREAK JAIL THEY HAD REMOVED A STEEEL FACING FROM SIDE OF WINDOW AND WORKED ENOUGH BRICK LOOSE TO GET THROUGH. Good Detective Work on the Part of the Jailer's Wife Frustrated the Prison-eas' Plans. A bold attempt on the part of three negroes to escape from the Wilkinson county jail was frustrated Friday night by Mrs. C. C. Foster, wife of the jailer. John Rice, sentenced for murder, Fred McElroy, accused of the robbery of Moseley's store, and George Bennett, awaiting trial for holding up a boy a few Sundays ago in Marion, were confined in the north cage on the second floor of the jail. As usual the prisoners were allowed in the "run around" during the day Friday. The men removed the steel plate from the side of the window and had loosed enough brick to permit them to get out. It happened that the men were locked in the cage about 5 o'clock Friday, a little earlier than usual, and possibly it is due to this fact that they are not now at liberty. About eight o'clock Mrs. Foster discovered the brick which had been worked loose, and going around to the cage she found where the negroes were heating the iron bars by burning rolls of paper, preparatory to springing the bars. It was their intention to get out of the cage in this way and then go through the hole at the side of the window, but Mrs. Foster's good detective work spoiled their plans. John Rice, one of the negroes who tried to escape, and Tony Angello, the Italian who killed Domineck Barricola, were taken to the Chester penitentiary by Sheriff Harris Friday morning. ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA. Pilgrim Baptist church is preparing for a campaign of evangelistic services to begin October 3 Much interest is being manifested by the membership in the making ready for coming campaign. The pastor, Rev. B. N. Murrell, will be assisted in the meetings by Rev W. O. Harper D D., of Youngstown, Ohio Dr. Young is looked upon as a very strong worker in evangelistic meetings, and by the undivided support of the members and pastor of Pilgrim Baptist church many it is believed, will be led to Christ during the campaign. The St. James A. M. E. church will soon be without the leadership of their much loved pastor, Rev. H. P. Jones who has served five years as pastor. About the 15th. of September Rev. Mr. Jones will leave for Milwaukee, Wis. to attend the annual conference. Just who the new pastor of St. James church is to be is not known at this time. The "Testimonial" meeting for Rev P. P. Womer-pastor of the Plymouth Congregational church (white) was held at the St. James A.M. E. church last night under the auspices of the Local Branch of The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The house was filled to overflowing with white and black citizens of St. Paul. Rev, B N. Murrell, Pasfor of Pilgrim Baptist church, and Rev A. H Lealtad, Pastor of St. Phillips Episcopal church, closed their churches at night, and united with the pastor and congregation of St. James A.M. E. church in the National Association Union "Testimonial" Rev. Womer is an outspoken christian minister who always places himself on the side with those working for the just Civic, Political and Economics rights of all peoples. He leaves the first of this week for Topeka, Kansas, to take up his duties as President of Washburn College. The magnificent three story brick building being erected by the Negro Odd Fellows and the Mason lodges of St. Paul, is nearing completion. When finished, this building will be a monument to the organized strength of the Negroes of the Northwest. The first floor will be occupied by the Colored Athletic Association; the The second floor will be used for for general Entertainment and renting purposes; the third floor will be used for lodge rooms. The Men who are guiding this enterprise are staunch church members and thorough going christians. Attorney W T. Francis is handling the Financial ends of the Pioneer effort. Rev. Ephron Hilliard who served four years as Missionary in in the South Sea Islands, and five years in Australia, will tell the story of his work and experiences Sunday night, Sept. 5, at 8:00 P. M. at Pilgrim Baptist church. Rev, Mr Hilliard is a citizen of St. Paul, and at 11:00 A. M. August 29, he was present to hear the sermon of Rev. B. N. Murrell. The Zion Presbyterian church (colored) under the leadership of G W. Camp, doing some splendid work among its small constituency. This is a mission church under the Home Mission Board of the Presbyterian church. The Boards pays two thirds of the pastor's salary, and the pastor and his flock are required to raise the other third of $300.00 annually. The membership is the smallest of of any church of colored people in St. Paul. To be called by the Lord to the work of preaching the gospel of of His Son, Jesus Christ, is indeed a great recognition to any man It is self evident that too much real effective work cannot be done in any church, by any people in any city, even with the combined forces of all the members and the pastor directed or, being used to attain any given object. With this fact so well known, certainly every Baptist preacher ought to be more concerned in knowing that it is the will of both the people and the Lord, that he should become the leader of any flock than than he is concerned in 'Re eiving a call" from a given church. So beneath the dignity of the ministry are some of the methods used that it tends to cast aspersion upon the rank of the clergy. Some months ago an officer of a Baptist church then without a pastor, said, "Our church has not called a pastor yet; but our church has been called by many preachers who wish to become its pastor. It is worth while to bear in mind that God knew Peter to be in Joppa in the house of one Simon a tanner. When God wanted P. ter's services in Ceserea He made known that fact in both cities REV. B. N MURRELL. Notice. To The W E & M. The local societies of the Mt. Olive Baptist association will take notice that the annual meeting is fast approaching and every church and local Society are asked to send something ror Education. Sisters, the work no doubt is lagging but we know that the Masters's business requires haste so please let us get busy and do something to put the Educational work on record this year. Each local Union is expected to have your delegate there by Wednesday morning to open the session at whatever place is designated for us to hold the W. E. & M meeting. Sisters, let us come praying for the spiritual and financial success. Let every church select a woman to get up the donation of pieces for the needle work committee, Sits. J. E. Webb, is chairman. Let every sister that can send us an apron or piece of fancy work of some kind anything that is useful as would like to raise all we can from that department. There will be a program prepared to outline the sessions each day. Come prepared for the Literary program. Sister Anna Owens, of Sparta, was elected missionary for the district last year but we don't know her hinderance for not visiting throughout the district but we hope to have a successful meeting. I have been hindered by sickness and the loss of one near and dear in our family. Rev. Blake's son and we feel sad over the loss, but our loss is heaven's gain, though the support and comfort of our home in the midst of afflictions is gone and far removed but we know that God is able to support us and make us able to do all things. Yours in his Name, M. J. Blake, President. NOTICE.

HOW TO OBTAIN THE 50c. off the office of this staff. AFRU-AMERICAN CULLINGS J, C, Frasier of Farrsville, Newton county, ranks as ane of the most pro- gressive Negro teachers of east Texas, and {s in very high esteem by people ‘of both races of that section, says the Houston Post. He has already intro- duced canning successfully into his ‘school. Great interest has been man- ‘fested during the summer session in canning and quite a number have been studying canning in connection with the operation of school training plants where the canning of vegetables for use in the mess hall next session is still in progress. The school cannery 4s proving to be a benefit to the sur- rounding neighborhooe as well as to the school, and both white and col- ‘red neighbors are bringing in vege- tables to be canned in the Prairie ‘View school cannery, Lulu B, Young read before the summer session an in- teresting description of the work of the school of which she is principal; and she is probably the youngest teacher in school, and she has success- fully introduced ‘industrial work into her school in Smith county, where her work has attracted favorable com- ment and mention from the county superintendent, A number of teachers have reported an increase in salary, due to their having successfully intro- uced industrial work in their schools. An unusually large number of man teachers have been taking instruction in the agricultural department as a means of running a school garden, which they have already introduced or plan to introduce into their school. ‘The classes in sewing have been ex- ceptionally well attended by the wom- ‘an teachers, while quite a number of ‘them have also enrolled in the cook- ing classes, Mrs. M. B. Hunter, for- ‘merly of Alabama, but for a number of years a resident of Laporte, Tex., 4s one of the most earnest students ‘of industrial work in the institution. ‘This earnest woman, after the death ot her husband, has proved to be a buccessful farm manager and has in- ‘troduced industrial work , also into schools which she has tatight in the vicinity of her home,’ She has proved to be exceptionally successful in the work of raising and canning fruits and vegetables and is a cook and housékeeper of unusual ability. Recently the Fourth Estate an- nounced that the plant of the old Philadelphia Times. bad been taken ‘over by colored men, who proposed to publish from it five weeklies for Boston, New York, Phiadelphia, Baltt- more and Washington. It has now been definitely decided that these pa- pers will appear on or about Septem- ber 3, each a 7-column 32-page pub- Ueation, and that during October weeklies will be given to 30 other ‘cities within a 12-hour radius of Phila- delphia. In outlining the company’s plans to the Fourth Estate, W. W. Rourk, the managing director, said: “Our publications will be absolute. ly free and independent. They are pot to be the organ of any class or party, but will oppose vigorously and fearlessly any and every destructive farce in American life. “We mean to be broad, unbiased, clean in politics, modern, enterpris ing and accurate in our American and foreign news service, and shall set and maintain a high standard in race journalism. “The one great need of the Negro, in my opinion, 1s a live, sensitive or- gan of public opinion in each com munity to speak intelligently and with authority to and for the race. ‘The Prairie View summer school, which is comprised of 470 attendants, ‘a majority of whom are teachers al- ready engaged in colored schools of ‘the cities and counties of the state and who are here for further improve- ment as a means of fitting themselves for greater usefulness in the Negro communities, is drawing to a close. ‘Mrs. B.

It is particularly opportune ‘that our plans should mature Just at this time. ‘The end of the war in Eu- rope will call for a readjustment in the relations of all the races of the world. This readjustment -will be as necessary in America as clse- where, and will peculiarly affect the black race here, “It may be that none now living yill ever see the tide of immigration that once flowed into this country reach again the high-water mark ctf 1,000,000 a year. The men withdrawn from our industrial field will not re- turn to it; they are being maimed and slaughtered by the millions. Those who do survive will be required during the next 50 years in rebuilding Europe. “Today our industries are hopeless- ly crippled by lack of laborers. With- out them there can be no expansion. ‘What then? The black man? Why ‘not? There are 10,00,000 of him ‘in the United States. Heretofore he has been ignored, rejected. Wherever he turned seeking an honest livelihood the doors of opportunity have been slammed in his face, and today eco- xomie conditions are subjecting him to a pressure more severe than any he has heretofore experienced. Un- less that condition charges, the Negro in America is doomed to pauperism and crime. Through the co-operation of broad-minded, clear-thinking men and women of both races, we hope to relieve the pressure by altering the condition, “In taking over the piant of the Philadelphia Hvening Times, we have succeeded in translating into terms of actuality the dream of thousands of colored people who long ago recognized the need of modern news. papers owned by members of the race, yet realized the impossibility of producing them without a strictly modern plant backed by sufficient funds. “We have the money, and in our plant we have every labor-saving, cost- ‘cutting device known to the modern ‘newspaper world, which includes two ‘condensed quadruple Hoe presses with a combined capacity of 96,000 com- i plete newspapers per hour.” A broad plan for co-operation among four churehes of Methodiam having a Negro membership of 1,600,000, was made public in a deliverance to Meth- odists of the world. The plan, if car ried out by the Methodist general con- ferences, was expected to pavé the way for final organic union of Negro Methodists in America {nto one church. It was agreed to by the com- missioners of the Methodist Episcopal (white), African Methodist Episcopal, African Methodist Episcopal Zion and Colored Methodist Episcopal churches at a meeting held at Cincinnati. Three white bishops—Thirkield of New Or- leans; Henderson of Chattanooga, and Neely of Philadelphia particlpated in the deliberations of the body. Nino bishops from the three other churches also were commissioners. The ar- rangements urge the adoption of a common ritual hymnal, ritual and catechism; the same standard in course of study for the ministry, standardizing of schools and colleges; holding of inter-Methodist preachers’ institutes; Christian workers’ assem- bites; united action on evangelism, education, home and foreign missions and a division of mission territory to stop waste. ern !mprovements for teaching domes- tie science and manual training.

Ideal Ic ‘The Union Jack, the banner under which Englishmen, Scotchmen, trish ‘men, Welshmen, Canadians, Australi ‘ans, Kast Indians and men from other parts of the great empire on which the sun never sets are now fighting on ‘the bloody fields of France, was de ‘signed 307 years ago, in 1606. The original flag of England, the banner of St. George, white with a red cross ‘was incorporated then with the ban- ‘ner of Scotland, which was blue with ‘a white diagonal cross. ‘This combina ‘tion obtained the name of “Union Jack,” in allusion to the union be tween England and Scotland, and to the name of the monarch who brought sbout the consolidation of the crowns. ‘This was James I of England and V1 bi Scotland, the word ‘Jack” being a ‘corruption of Jacobus, the Latin word for James. The original arrangement ‘of the Union Jack continued until 1801, when following the union with Ireland, the banner of St. Patrick, ‘white with diagonal red cross, was amalgamated with it. ‘The red Mal tese cross of St. Patrick was placed over the white cross of St. Andrew, so ‘that a thin white line on either side is all that remains of the Scottish cross. ‘The many nationalities comprising the empire of Franz Josef fight under ‘ common flag of red and white, the colors of the Hapsburg dynasty. There are red stripes at the top and bottom of tho banner, and on the central white stripe appears the Austrian coat ot arms. ‘The German, Austrian and Russian banners, like the English, represent a slow growth through many centuries and with frequent changes. Since ancient times men have carried distinguishing emblems in battle, but ft was not until the sixth century that the flag acquired its present form in Spain. Before that it was just a small ‘square of cloth carried on a lance. The modern flag is said to have been introduced in Spain by the Saracéns. CLAIMS MOST PERFECT LENS German Optician Says He Has Pro- duced a Glass That Has No Equal in the World. In the “Punktal,” Dr. Moritz yon Rohr of the scientific staff of the Carl Zeiss works, a famous German optical establishment, claims the invention of the perfect lens. It is said to be su- perlor to either the Toric or Menis- cus lenses, both recognized as great improvements over the old style flat glasses. In old-style lenses, when the eye is rotated to one side, thy line of sight passes through the lens obliquely. This defect was only partially done away with by the Toric or curved lens, In working out the new lens, Doctor von Rohr computed formulas for grinding lenses which differ from every differ- ent power. Heretofore all lenses have been ground on one side with one or an- other of a set of established base curves, Believing it was impossible to produce a perfectly corrected lens in this way, Doctor von Robr estab- lished different formulas for each side of every kind of lens required. The result of his experimentation ey E}e——— a Ba {cole aE Figaro a and work is the “Punktal” lens, in which the line of sight passes through at the correct angle, no matter to what position the eye is revolved in its socket.

One curious attribute of the jealous woman who plans to sweep her rivals out of the way is that she generally ‘shows a marked lack of brains in her ‘methods, Jealousy not only blunts all her finer feelings, but at the same time {t causes a curious confusion of mind, which fails to take the proper grasp of consequences and which ts utterly Mogical and childishly reckless in its workings, - One has only to glance at the daily papers to see this fact practically {llus trated. The schemes of the jealous woman are the most childishly {mma- ture in the world, and in almost every case fall to pieces and bring speedy retribution oa her own head. For not alone does the victim suffer. The worst generally comes upon the plotter her- self. Love very often does bring a cer tain amount of jealousy in its train. But at the same time it is entirely up to ourselves to curb those feclings and to keep them from outward and visible expression. Moreover, it is perfectly true that, although love generally does admit of Jealousy, the latter can exist and flourish pretty successfully with: out love, Therefore in the last analysis we may most assuredly claim that jeal ousy and love are two distinct and quite separate affairs —Savannah iene: To Protect a State's Wards.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Restored Her Daughter's Health. Plover, Iowa.—"From a small child my 13 year old daughter had female weakness. I spoke to three doctors about it and they did not help her any. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound had been of great benefit to me, so I decided to have her give it a trial. She has taken five bottles of the Vegetable Compound ac weakness. I spoke to three doctors about it and they did not help her any. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound had been of great benefit to me, so I decided to have her give it a trial. She has taken five bottles of the Vegetable Compound according to directions on the bottle and she is cured of this trouble. She was all run down when she started taking the Compound and her periods did not come right. She was so poorly and weak that I often had to help her dress herself, but now she is regular and is growing strong and healthy."—Mrs. MARTIN HELVIG. Plover, Iowa. Hundreds of such letters expressing gratitude for the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has accomplished are constantly being received, proving the reliability of this grand old remedy.

Supposed to Influence "Woman's Crowning Glory." Shrine Has Been Erected to Mother Manephie, in Klimvoe, at Which Women Who Desire Beautiful Hair Make Prayers. Who is the patron goddess of the long, lustrously beautiful hair? Or is there a patron saint that presides over "woman's crowning glory"? Modern science, social usage and commercial arrangement have combined patron saint and goddess in the suave, deft woman who conducts the "hairdressing salon." The furnishings and the conventions observed in the "salon" make the term no misnomer and, though the adept might learnedly discuss the historical ladies who were gowned hirsutely—not omitting Lady Godiva and the queen of Sheba—it is a safe wager she makes no mention of Mother Manephile, who, though unheralded to the great outside world, is nevertheless one of the most potent of guardians of the hair. Trans-Volgan peasants have erected a shrine to her. Mother Manephile died in Klimpo about fifteen years ago. In the memory of the people among whom she lived no woman ever had hair to equal hers in length, luster, fineness of texture and the magical way in which it imprisoned the light—not only the radiance of the sun, but the moonlight and the diamond-like glitter of the stars! And her length of hair measured with her length of wisdom and its beauty matched her kindness of heart. Even when she lived the superstitious peasants invested her with supernatural powers. The shrine was a natural complement. There it is that women and children who desire beauti- A The Shrine of Mother Manephile In Kilmovo, Where Women Supplicate for Beautiful Hair. ful hair pray for it. But never a man. And, if local testimony goes for anything, the "holy woman," in favoring many suppliants, has performed many prodigies. A story is told of a woman, bald through illness, to whom was given a new and wondrous crown of hair. Japanese Woman Doctors in Burma. Burma has charity hospitals under the management of British people, but the natives do not take kindly to their treatment. There are a limited number of native woman physicians in Burma, but their skill is not yet sufficient to obtain public confidence. The situation has consequently created a strong demand in Burma for Japanese doctors, especially female medical practitioners. A Chinese millionaire manufacturer, Liu Chentsung, is one of those who favor the Japanese female doctors, and engaged two women, each at a salary of $100. Miss Matsuno Yoda and Miss Sakaye Kwano were chosen. It is decided that they will leave Tokyo for their posts shortly. The two ladies are to work in Rangoon among a group of native women, who belong to the factory of Mr. Liu. It is the intention of Mr. Liu upon the arrival of these women to establish a hospital—East and West News. Rubber Ousting Tobacco. Strange are the capers of competition! As far away as British North Borneo the rubber estates are gradually forcing tobacco growing to the wall. Our consul at Sandakan says that only a few tobacco estates are now remaining, but that no less than twenty rubber estates, averaging 26,360 acres each and a capital of $11,970,000, are under cultivation, and 19 of them are producing rubber. Within three years more all estates will be exporting crude rubber and in five years all trees now set out will be ready for tapping. In 1914, 1,273,000 pounds of cultivated rubber was produced. Lack of regular rainfall makes against tobacco. Cocconut growing competes with both and is setting limits to the expansion of rubber productions.—Wall Street Journal. Can This Be True?

METROPOLIS. ILL. Death Lurks In A Weak Heart GINGERBREAD OF OLD DAYS Was a Luxury That Filled an "Aching Void" in the Down East Boy. What memories this reference to the five-cent ginger cake of commerce will arouse in the minds of men approaching or past middle age who passed their boyhood in the country! At all public gatherings where concessions were given for the serving of refreshments it was the chief feature in the order of the day down to a period of much later than half a century ago. And then it seems to have disappeared, suddenly and mysteriously, after the manner of the disappearance of the bootjack and the passenger pigeon, and like them probably never to return. Who among us whose hair has grown thin atop or disappeared altogether cannot recall the bill of fare of the refreshment venders in those earlier and simpler days at fairs, town meetings and Fourth of July celebrations! The assortment was not elaborate, but it was filling and satisfying, and one got a good deal for his money, says the Biddeford (Me.) Daily Journal. Most conspicuously displayed were those ginger cakes, everywhere locally known as "baker's gingerbread," to distinguish it from homemade gingerbread, which lacked the delicate color, the spicy fragrance, the workmanlike finish and pleasing regularity of the imported article. Then there were coffee served in big mugs; crackers and cheese, baked beans and brown bread, not infrequently homemade doughnuts, and always raw oysters. The gingerbread and the oysters were the things that took with the crowd; for only on such occasions were these viands readily attainable. What country boy has not watched some older person order a saucer of oysters, cover them with vinegar and cayenne pepper and then absorb them as to the manner born, without admiring the grace and nonchance with which the trick was done and wishing for the time to come when he might venture to give such an exhibition." His consolation lay in a "sheet" of that famous baker's gingerbread, and if he was particularly well fixed financially, a piece of cheese to go with it. Those were, indeed, happy days, when a piece of gingerbread and a hunk of cheese at a total expense of six cents, would fill an aching goid which in these degenerate days is hardly satisfied with a six-course dinner. It may be assumed that the men who made that famous gingerbread are not all dead. Here and there throughout the country there must be several survivors who retired for well-earned rest after long service in the best interests of hungry humanity. This being the case, 't is barely possible that the recipe for those ginger cakes is not irrevievably lost. SELF SHAMPOOING With Cuticura Soap is Most Comforting and Beneficial. Trial Free.

"I could have lived with him all my days," she says, "and it always makes me angry when I read, as I sometimes do, that he was bad tempered. He was the very reverse, in my opinion. I never would have left him when I did if I had not been going to get married. I took great pride in attending on him and studying all his wants and wishes. "It was one of my duties to rush out and move on all street organs and things of that kind. Many a time in the morning, before he rose, I used to fill his pipe, the short clay he used in his bedroom, for him, and strike the match to light it. I always cut up his tobacco (he bought it in flat cakes), and kept his tin box regularly supplied. He was always so grateful for these little services."

This is a short story of how two Vermont boys, still in their teens, have made some real money on a thoroughbred Guernsey. They paid $200 for the animal when she was two years old, and as their father was a banker and they were away to school a farmer was induced to keep the animal for them. They owned the cow a little over two years and during that time she had two calves. The boys found a ready market for the calves and have just sold the cow, the three animals having been sold for $525. The farmer charged them $125 for keeping of the stock and other expenses and the boys will net $100 apiece from the transaction. The boys are quite satisfied with their investment and incidentally have become somewhat interested in life upon a Vermont farm.—Springfield (Vt.) Reporter. A Suggestion.
