What Will Satisfy Professor Professor W. T. Vernon was in Topeka last week to see Governor Stubbs to get his former position as president of the Western University. He resigned in June to continue as Registrar of the Treasurer President Taft, through Bishop Grant and the Kansas delegation was asked to reappoint him at the solicitation of the registrar, which was done. The trustees had made arrangements for the election of another but Prof. Vernon changed again. Now what his friends want to know is he now contented as there are others who would like to be the Register or the president of the school. We are sorry he changed. The colored people of the West were proud to have a man in Washing ton holding down a four thousand dollar a year job; especially from Kansas, and we wanted him to stay there and grow stronger in the hearts of nation. We guess the school is glad to get him back and he is gald to get back, of course. He assisted in building the school and naturally wanted to stay with it—Topeka Plaindealer. We are glad if he has changed as he is the man to make W. U. the second to none. We note in the Topeka Plain-dealer that Prof. W. T. Vernon has reconsidered his resignation from the presidency of Western University or is about to do so. We verily believe that Doctor Vernon as president of the great and growing school which he has made, will add greater lusture to his career than to be housed up in the treasury department for four more years. He has served four years with singular ability, the honor is his and his friends have seen him make good and the president over all opposition stands ready to reappoint him, but we believe that if he declines and takes the Western University in preference that he will make no mistake, as a man of Dr. Vernon's calibre is needed at all times at this splendid institution. The coming fall campaign will not appeal very forcibly to the thinking members of our race in the bailiwick unless there is quite a change in the very nature of things political They do not think that they have been treated right by the very ones who have profited by their support, and there are at least a respectable number who in the future must be shown. YOUNG VIOLINIST OF RARE TALENT Clarence C. White Masters King of Musical Instruments. WINS HOCKLEY SCHOLARSHIP Pupil of English and Russian Instructors Who Began the Study of the Violin In Washington Regarded as the Most Finished Artist the Race Has Produced. By OLIVER RANDOLPH "Mr. White is the finest interpreter of my violin compositions in America." Thus wrote S. Coleridge-Taylor, the great Anglo-African composer of London, concerning Clarence Cameron White, one of the most brilliant violinists that the race has yet produced. Mr. White began the study of the violin when a mere boy in the city of Washington. He showed such musical ability that he was sent to Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Oberlin, O. There young White won his spurs, being made first violin in the conservatory orchestra, which was composed of sixty players. But his musical education was not to stop with the four years spent at Oberlin. Although he had acquired great ability and was recognized as a most excellent performer on the violin, Mr White, with the soul of the true artist burning within him, determined to go to Europe and study the violin under the masters of the old world. In 1906 he went to London and studied orchestration under Herbert A Harrison, one of England's great orchestral conductors. He returned to America in the fall of that year and won the first Hockley scholarship for study abroad. For the second time young Clarence Cameron White crossed the ocean for the purpose of studying that "king of instruments, the violin." He became a private pupil in London of M. Zachrewitsch, the great Russian Copyright by Scurlock. CLARENCE C. WHITE. violinist. He also studied composition under S. Coleridge-Taylor. Mr. Coleridge-Taylor manifested much interest in Mr. White and was instrumental in getting the eminent Russian as his teacher of the violin. Greater orchestral honors came to him when he went abroad, for he was made first violin in the celebrated String Players' club, which is said to be the finest string orchestra in London. His great concert tour was in 1906, when he appeared in over fifty concerts through the west and south. When S. Coleridge-Taylor came to the United States on two occasions Clarence Cameron White was the violin soloist for him in his concerts. Mr. White has appeared before distinguished citizens in America and before critical audiences in England and Spain. He enjoys the distinction of being the first to play some of Coleridge-Taylor's compositions for American audiences. Beginning next fall Mr. White will make a great concert tour, playing at a hundred concerts and filling engagements in the south and as far west as the Pacific coast. He uses in all of his concerts a Maggini violin, valued at $500. Clarence Cameron White is a composer of ability and of much industry. He has in preparation an opera and a number of miscellaneous compositions, written while he was abroad. A comic opera written by him was produced with great success in Washington in 1907. This young musician, scarcely thirty years of age, is now regarded as a violinist of the very first rank. He is studious and full of energy, industry and ambition. With all these he is possessed of a charming personality and most pleasing manners. and her charming wife, who was formerly Miss Beatrice Warwick is a plumette of rare ability and takes much pride in furthering her husband's musical plans. She accompanies him in many of his concerts. They have two interesting boys-William, aged four, and Clarence junior, aged two. They are growing up in a home surrounded and permeated with musical environments. if the church did its duty New Buildings For Man The Manassas (Va.) Inc is rapidly becoming an center.

Colonel Goethals, engineer in charge of construction work in the Panama canal zone, is doing a great work for humanity aside from his many duties as a government official. He has established in connection with the schools for colored children experimental gardens for raising vegetables and fruit. The new venture has proved to be very successful. Up to the present time produce to the value of $200 has been raised. The girls have shown as much interest as the boys, and the work has been so beneficial to the pupils and so cheaply maintained that it is expected four or five more gardens will be started soon. The work is done by children from six to twelve years old, and they are allowed to take the produce home. The work is under the supervision of a graduate of the agricultural college of Kingston, Jamaica. GOOD MEN PUT ON DUTY. No Complaint Against Negro Census Enumerators, Says Nagel. From all sections of the country where Negro census enumerators were employed comes the good news that they maintained a high degree of efficiency in their work. Director Durand says he has heard no complaint about their work. They were sent after passing satisfactory examinations. Thus, he said, a good class of men were put on duty. The total number of enumerators employed in taking the present census is 55,000. Of this number 1,605 are Negroes; 1,295 of the 1,605 were assigned to duty in the southern states. Figures are not available to show the increase in the number of Negro enumerators for the thirteenth census over those employed in the census taken ten years ago. Officials, however, express the belief that the increase was considerable and point to the fact that South Carolina alone had 113 colored enumerators, while ten years ago it had none. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED AT LINEN SHOWER SOCIAL Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Booker Break the News of Their Daughter's Betrothal at Social Gathering. At a linen shower social recently held at 1065 St. Marks avenue, Brooklyn, Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Booker announced the engagement of their daughter Ruby K. to Mr. Clarence E. Lucas. The wedding will take place in the early part of the summer. The contracting parties are both Brooklynites and are well known in the social, religious and educational circles of the city. The bride elect is a product of the grammar and high schools and a graduate of the commercial department of the Young Women's Christian association. The groom is a graduate of the boys' high school and is at present pursuing a law course at Howard university. Washington. The linen shower was directed by Miss Esther Bradley and Mrs. Bertha Hicks. A large number of young people attended the social and heard the announcement of Miss Booker's engagement with joyful surprise. Master Royal Booker presided at the piano and furnished some lively music. Vocal music and the various games were also indulged in throughout the evening. Light refreshments were served, and the guests departed wishing Miss Booker all kinds of good fortune. Missionary Alliance Convention. Pittsburgh branch No. 2 of the Christian and Missionary alliance began its fifteenth annual summer convention at the chapel, 1538 Wylie avenue, Pittsburg, on Sunday, June 12. The convention will be in session until Tuesday, the 25th. Among the speakers are such well known Christian workers as the Rev. E. M. Collette of Charlotte, N. C.; the Rev. G. Verner Brown, Wilmington, Del.; the Rev. H. M. Shuman, Washington, Pa.; Mrs. W. O. Bowles, Mrs. Rosa Johnson, Cleveland, O.; the Rev. C. Cox, Butler, Pa.; Mrs. B. H. Smoot, Cleveland, O., and the Rev. Isaac Williams, Pittsburg. Missionaries Needed in New Jersey. The recent quarterly conference of the colored Presbyterian pastors of New Jersey, which met in Paterson, was highly interesting. The address of the Rev. Charles H. Trusty of Jersey City revealed some startling information. His subject was "The Spiritual Condition of the Colored People." In the course of his address Dr. Trusty said "there are 70,000 of our people in the state of New Jersey without any religion at all" and that vice and crime among them might be minimized through the assistance of the church if the church did its duty. New Buildings For Manassas School. The Manassas (Va.) Industrial school is rapidly becoming an educational center. The cornerstone of three new buildings was recently laid which will cost $50,000. The new structures are the trades building, at a cost of $80,000; the Berwind hospital, at a cost of $15,000, and a new wing to Howland hall, at a cost of $3,000. Other improvements contemplated will make up the remainder of the $50,000 gift recently made by Andrew Carnegie and others. SOUTH AFRICAN AFFAIRS. Future May Reveal Great Leader Among Native Dark Races. Among Native Dark Races. The chamber of mines at Johannesburg, South Africa, gave a farewell banquet recently to Lord Selborne, which, we are informed, was attended by a thoroughly representative gathering. The retiring high commissioner took advantage of the occasion to give utterance to some words exceedingly appropriate and very much needed. He began by expressing his desire to say a few words about the colored people—not the natives, but people of partly white and partly black origin. All, he observed, lay the greatest stress on the superiority and responsibility of the whites, and with that he sympathized. But he differed from the prevailing tendency to lay all the stress on the black side of colored people. The colored people, he went on to point, vary in character exactly as much as in external appearance, and he professed his belief that the tendency to drive the colored people down to the position of Kaffirs was both unjust and unwise—unjust, he explained, because the colored people often have the thoughts and feelings of the white man, and unwise because one day we might have to face a great concerted movement of native races. In that event the high commissioner went on to prophesy that they might find the leader of the native races to be a colored man with the feelings, character and superiority of the white man. Except where the colored people manifestly adopt the habits and conditions of the natives, in his opinion, they ought to be led up to a condition in which they can receive the treatment accorded to the white man. This is excellent so far as it goes, and we trust that it may make some impression upon the white people in South Africa. It is as far perhaps as Lord Selborne could go, considering the present temper of the whites. INDEPENDENCE DAY ORATION. Boston's Mayor Selects Former De- department Commander Wolff. Grand Army men in Boston and vicinity are looking forward to Independence day this year with greater interest than ever in so far as the public literary exercises are concerned. The cause for this newly awakened anticipation arises from the fact that Mayor Fitzgerald has appointed former Department Commander James H. Wolff to the orator of the day. The exercises will be held in historic old Faneuil hall. Commander Wolff is one of the most widely known Afro-American veterans of the civil war in the state. His voice has been heard on many patriotic occasions. But this will be the first time that one of our race has been selected by the chief city official to deliver the Independence day oration. WILLIAM D. CRUM GETS LIBERIAN APPOINTMENT. Taft Nominates the Ex-Collector as Minister Resident and Consul General at Monrovia. The announcement that President Taft had on Tuesday, June 7, nominated Dr. William D. Crum of Charleston, S. C., to be minister resident and consul general at Monrovia, Liberia, stirred Washington politicians to new anxiety. It is said that the choice of Dr. Crum for the position coincides with the opinion of southern senators and that there will be no opposition to his confirmation by the senate from that source. Dr. Crum achieved fame when President Roosevelt appointed him collector of customs at Charleston on Jan. 5, 1903. Senator Tillman led a fierce fight against his confirmation on the sole ground that he was a Negro. No charges were preferred against him, and he was admitted to be a man of integrity and high standing. Action was prevented until Jan. 6, 1905, or one day more than two years. During that period he served under a series of recess appointments. President Roosevelt on Dec. 8, 1908, named Dr. Crum for another term. Early in January of the following year President Elect Taft made speeches in the south in which he gave assurances that Negroes would not be given federal offices in antagonism to popular protests. When the special session of the senate following the inauguration of Mr. Taft expired March 14, 1909, Dr. Crum had not been confirmed. It was then squarely up to President Taft to stand by his speeches and name somebody else. He did so and designed Edward W. Durant, Jr. The New York We are nowoffering quintively the best bargain ever offered in a Silk Petticoat in this city. A regular $7.50 Taffeta, elegant silk beautifully tailored in black, white and colors. Our price, choice at $4.96 white man, as collector, announcing that Dr. Crum had resigned. Kansas Federation of Women's Clubs. The tenth annual meeting of the Kansas State Federation of Women's clubs, which convened in Atchison on Wednesday, June 15, bids fair to be a great success. The convention will be in session two days, and there are delegates from nearly every section of the state, besides a large number of visitors. The state officers are: President, Mrs. T. W. Bell, Leavenworth; first vice president, Mrs. J. L. Harper, Wichita; second vice president, Mrs. J. M. Gross, Newton; recording secretary, Mrs. J. P. Henderson, Leavenworth; treasurer, Mrs. J. L. Dyson, Kansas City; chaplain, T. Allen; historian, Miss L. B. Harris, Topeka. THE PLAINDEALER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE REASON WHY There is such a fuss kicked over one society lady loan another a kimona? Who gave the booze paw out at Central park? It is said that a blue w cotorie is now being organized in Helena colored society. Some of our bravest trembling with fear at w POLITICAL NOTES Captain Adamson wanted to know who he was reported to be grooming for sheriff. With Senator Carter back from Washington, politics will no doubt begin to simmer and later on get to the boiling point. Gov. W. R. Allen who is holding down the job during governor Norris' absence would be the very man to put in that office two years hence. Hon E. A. Morely who has announced his candidacy for R. R. Commissioner, is one of our wide awake, broad gauged republicans who stands for progress and is the right man for the voters to keep on the Rail Road Commission. If we can understand things or see at all, the local election this fall will be a hummer and the race no cinch for any man or party. Judge Clayberg's petition has the signature of several of our citizens for Supreme Justice, they appreciate his record of a square deal for everybody. Senator J. M. Dixon of Missoula visited the capitol city this week and gave out his endorsement of the national administration and the work accomplished by the present congress which has just adjourned. It is said that T. H. Lewis will make the race for justice of the peace this fall. It is with keen regret that we note the demise of one old friend and coworker, J. Hume Childers of Topeka, Kansas. And we join with his legion of friends in extending our sympathy to his bereaved wife and sisters. The Regulars are waiting for the insurgents to say "If we can't beat em less jine 'eb." THE PLAINDEALER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE REASON WHY There is such a fuss kicked up over one society lady loaning another a kimona? Who gave the booze party out at Central park? It is said that a blue vein cotorie is now being organized in Helena colored society. Some of our bravest are trembling with fear at what might appear in this column? The race between the widower and batchelor is not one of the prettiest ever pulled off in this vicinity? There should not be a good field in this city for a first class colored eating house? Uncle Dave should not now come out from his spell? Col. Fitzerald the leader of many a host in battle, victor in most popular contests and all around hustler to help everything and everybody, is not in the limelight any more? And also the distinguished and undaunted senator Murrill who also goes some where is he and when will he return? The Kentucky people are all the rage just now? EMANCIPATION DAY. Further East this season is the beginning of Emancipation day celebrations anywhere from August first to August tenth and ceremonies hte Negro is told to come out and celebrate the anniversary of freedmon. In fact no day in August has any significance as to the abolition of American slavery. But applies only to the gradual Emancipation of slaves in the West Indies. The only days which really are enancipation days for the American Negro are the 22nd of September and January 1st as on Sept. 22 president Lincoln issued his immortal proclamation to go into effect on Jan 1st. Rev. Gny has kept right up with the times and the St. James church has taken no backward step everybody should rally to the front and assist him in his dollar money crusade so that Helena shall take no back seat at any place along the line. Quite a few say they have a hunch on the Butte races and are going over to make a play on the ponies. SPEAKER CANNON ILL COLLAPSED WHILE MAKING AN ADDRESS IN KANSAS. At Winfield, Kansas, Chautauqua Saturday Afternoon, but Recovered—Physicians Urged Him to Abandon His Speaking Tour, but Not for Him, He Goes On. Winfield, Kan.—Accompanied by Congressman Philip Campbell, and declaring he was "not a bit sick," Speaker Joseph G. Cannon of the house of representatives, who collapsed whilst delivering an address before the Winfield Chautauqua Saturday afternoon, left here for Arkansas City. The speaker had recovered from his collapse and insisted upon making the trip. Speaker Cannon's physicians urged him to abandon his Kansas speaking tour, but the speaker seems determined to continue it. Mr. Cannon feels that the collapse was due to the excessively warm weather, temperature 105, which he was not used to. Speaker Cannon appeared tired when he arrived here. His all night ride from Kansas City and the excitement incident to his debate with Gifford Pinchot before the Knife and Fork club at Kansas City the night before, together with the hot weather here, seemed to unnerve him. The speaker seemed to realize he was in "the enemy's country." While the audience was not hostile, it certainly was not friendly, and this made "Uncle Joe's" task more difficult. Almost from the beginning he abandoned his manuscript and spoke on the development of constitutional government. After an hour and three-quarters he took up the Payne tariff bill. He had spoken but a few words laudatory of it when he grew pale. He reached back and took the ice from a pitcher and placed it on his head. His head dropped to his chest. "I can not talk longer," he almost gagged. "There are many more things I should like to have said, but I can not. I am overcome with the heat." Friends rushed forward with a chair and an electric fan was turned on him, water and ice were procured and the platform was cleared of the curious. The audience remained intensely quiet. Finally "Uncle Joe" arose with a friend on either side and said: "I am sorry I can not continue, but I have been through three years of hard work and worry and this intense heat has been more than I can stand. Summary of His Speech. "Discontent of a population," Speaker Cannon in his address at the Chautauqua association said, "is not measured by complaints in the press. It is measured in a more significant manner and makes a more indelible impression than that of a penny paper bought, perused, thrown away and forgotten. "The pocket nerve" is one of the most sensitive nerves in our civilization and that nerve is always the first affected by any general discontent or want of confidence. I have seen no evidence of weakness in the 'pocket nerve' out here in Kansas, where you are reveling in high prices for farm products and showing no sympathy for those in the east who complain about the high prices of beef and pork, of wheat and corn. "I have seen no evidence of attack of the 'pocket nerve' anywhere in the west, where business is moving with a high speed rarely seen." Speaker Cannon declared the opponents of protection had misrepresented the tariff; lied about its schedules, and resorted to every conceivable trick to keep the tariff in place. "The demagogue," he said, "may pick out an item here and there and say that duties are too high; but the law is to be tested by all its provisions and not by an isolated item here and there." The speaker referred to the unsuccessful opposition to Representatives Smith and Kennedy in the Iowa primaries recently, and continued: "My information is that in Kansas Senator Kristow with his allies, Governor Stubbs, Representative Murdock and others, is opposing the renomination of Representatives Campbell, Anthony, Calderhead and Reeder, for the reason that these representatives voted for the tariff bill and co-operated with their republican brethren in the house at Washington. Government by the People. "This is a government by the people; but in order to govern it is necessary, with a population of 90,000,000, that those who substantially agree, touching economic and other policies, should co-operate and they can only co-operate through organization," said Mr. Cannon. Speaking of Representative Murdock of Kansas, Mr. Cannon said: "The special rule for the consideration of the postal savings bank bill was advocated by Mr. Murdock and other gentlemen, who, in the past, complained of special rules. And Mr. Murdock in his vote on June 7, 1910, condemned all his previous actions against the committee on rules of the house." house. The speaker declared Mr. Murdock was ready to adopt any means to secure the postal bank legislation and "for once in his legislative career became a constructive legislator instead of a mere obstructor against legisla- tion. I hope he may take the advice William Allen White gave to Kansas in 1897—'Become less interesting and more frequently right.' Murdock Will Reply. "I trust Mr. Cannon will not be prevented from continuing his program of speeches in Kansas," said Congressman Murdock who was in Wichita. "Personally, I would regret to see him suffer any collapse and in addition I would very much regret not being able to answer the charges against the insurgent movement which I expect to make. I plan to follow him closely and answer each specific charge without mincing matters in any way." Cannon's Evening Meeting. Arkansas City, Kan.—Speaker Cannon addressed a great audience in the open air here after he had come from Winfield in an automobile with Representative Campbell. The leader of the house spoke from the automobile. He confined his remarks chiefly to a defense of the tariff bill. Must Use Same Aeroplane From Start to Finish—Select Own Route. The condition governing the proposed aeroplane flight between New York and St. Louis are made public. They follow: "The New York World and St. Louis Post-Dispatch will give $30,000 to the first aviator who between August 15, 1910, and January 1, 1911, flies from New York to St. Louis or from St. Louis to New York within 100 consecutive hours, using the same aeroplane from start to finish. "The only condition attached to this offer is that at least three days' notice of the intention to start for this prize must be given to either the New York World or the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in order that announcement may be made of the actual starting and finishing points, the actual route and other details as agreed upon." The ditsure between the two cities is 900 miles as the crow flies, and 1044 miles as the mails go. The average fast train time is 29 hours and the average train speed 36 miles an hour. The best average speed for sustained flight in an aeroplane is 544.5 miles an hour. On account of the configuration of the land it is unlikely that any aviator will attempt to lay out his route in a straight line. The actual distance he will fly, therefore, remains guesswork and will only be determined by the performance itself. APPLE SHOW ANNOUNCES PRIZES New Varieties Are Added and All Classes Are Expected to Be Filled. Rome Beauty—First, $50 and 1,000 trees; second, $25. Spitzenberg—First, $50 and spray outfit; second, $25. Stayman Winesap—First, $75; second, $25. Wagener—First, $50 and spray pump; second, $25. White Winter Pearmain—First, $75; second, $25. Winesap—First, $50 and 500 trees; second, $15 and 200 trees. Yellow Newtown—First, $50 and 500 trees; second, $25. "The prize list will be larger than in 1909," said Secretary Rice, "and there is every indication that all classes will be filled. There were 98 entries in the 10 box class last year, but we look for more than that number this year, as five contests have been added, thus giving growers of other varieties an equal opportunity to compete." August St. Nicholas. Jolly and profitable vacation work is described in the August St. Nicholas in Annette Rehmann Perrett's article on "Boys' Rooms," in which writer and artist describe several very interesting and attractive boys' rooms, and urge upon boys realization of their power over their surroundings. "There is no material so humble but it can be ennobled through thought." President Taft Keeps Aloof. Beverly, Mass., July 19.—President Taft states with striking emphasis the position he is taking on the republican state platforms and candidates. The president does not think he should be called upon to write the party declarations in the different commonwealths or to name men for any elective offices. Among the many curious notions obtaining among the different races using the sword may be noted the gender of the weapon. In the north of Europe it was either masculine, as in Britain, or neuter, as in Germany, while in the south it was uniformly feminine. Its force and cruelty appealed to the northern mind. Its grace and elegance attracted the warriors of the sunny south. It typified to the one strength, to the other dignity. SOCIALIST OFFICER GIVES HIS VIEWS ON CIVIC AFFAIRS. Gives His Views to Press As to How a City Should Be Governed—Wants to Make the Children Happy—Says Mayor Gaynor of New York Has Best Governed Police. Mayor Emil Seidel, the first mayor in the United States to be elected the executive head of a first-class city upon the socialist ticket, bears upon his shoulders a burden which will either set socialism ahead a score of years in America, or retard it for that length of time. Mayor Seidel has compiled for the press some of his views. He says: "Lots of people have a mistaken idea of socialism. They think that all leaders of this party should rant and rave and attempt some kind of revolution. This is nonsense of the rankest kind. For instance, Mayor Gaynor of New York is also a socialist at heart, although he would not admit it, yet I dare say he considers himself one of the most conservative executives in America. Praises Mayor Gaynor. "To my mind, one of the biggest things Mayor Gaynor has accomplished is the abolition of the useless combinations that eat up the people's money without doing them any good. I wish I could reform the Milwaukee police force the way Mayor Gaynor has reformed the New York police force; in fact, socialist as I am, Mayor Gaynor has done many things which I intend to imitate in my chair if I can. When I get out of the mayor's chair, I would rather have it said of me that Emil Seidel was the children's friend; that he had made children happy and healthy and tried to give them a good start in life, then I would be called the greatest mayor in America. City Gets Money's Worth. "I want to see home rule for Milwaukee. I want to see every man, woman and child happy. I want to see public officers get decent pay and I want the city to get every cent that is coming to it. We are not running this city for any one class of people. The man gets the job, no matter what party he is affiliated with. One of my experts dug up an old ordinance which gave the city authority to enforce all health ordinances against public utility companies as well as against private companies. The rest was easy. We just pleased health policemen around barns and would not allow a street can to be drawn out until it had been cleaned out. A list of saloons against which complaints were entered was carefully made. Every arrest was carefully noted, every violation of the state or city laws has been put down. When the proprietors of these places have applied for a renewal of their respective licenses the license committee has refused to grant the necessary permit. In this way more than 100 saloons have been closed. Saloons Are Orderly. "This has had a marvelous uplifting effect on other places where liquor has been, sold and today no city in the country can boast of such orderly saloons as Milwaukee. "I believe in personal liberty. I believe that the saloon, when properly conducted, is a benefit rather than a detriment. It affords a place of amusement and relaxation from the cares and worries of every day life. Here in Milwaukee none of our saloons furnish really classic music. Nearly all of them furnish cheap and good food. They may be called the 'poor man's club.' I want to see Milwaukee and every other city adopt some form of opening up public territory where the people can grow and keep healthy. My idea is for the city to buy all new lands, plot them and put them on the market. You may think this is Eutopian, but I tell you, sir, nothing is more practical. Expects Larger Revenue. "The city of Milwaukee is not afraid of any corporation, no matter how big it is, and we will get more money from the street car companies in the end." So Church Board Will Not Permit Him to Preach. Laporte, Ind., July 16.—The official board of the First Christian church announces that it had deposed the Rev. J. J. Cole from the pastorate and that he would not be permitted to preach, for the alleged reason that he swam in the lake on Sunday, that he drank some whiskey on the order of a physician and that he had been seen at the theater. Mr. Cole in a public reply, does not deny the allegation, but says he offended the members of the board by not appearing in evening dress at a church reception. Killed in Wreck. Redding, Cal., July 18.—Conductor Fred W. Andree was killed, Brakeman Charles J. Foley was bruised and an engine and 12 freight cars derailed in a wreck on the Southern Pacific railroad a mile south of Gibson today. A broken flange on one of two cars which were being pushed ahead of the locomotive caused a derailment of the first car and the engine and 11 remaining cars rapidly left the rails. Teacher and Niece Are Cut Off by Flames and Cremated in — Colville, Wash., July 18.—Charred remains of human bones, alongside the skeletons of two faithful dogs and the ashes of a baby girl, mark the spot tonight where the cabin of a brave girl homesteader stood yesterday and where Miss Pearl Brewen, a sweet-faced shool teacher, aged 22, with the nine-month-old daughter of Former Congressman J. S. Wyman of Plains, Mont., her brother-in-law, were yesterday cremated in a forest fire started by a settler. W. W. Clark brought gruesome details of the fire 18 miles northeast of Colville today to Prosecuting Attorney Kirkpatrick. The tragedy was the result of a fire set by W. A. Trowbridge, a neighbor, clearing a slashing. Mr. Trowbridge is a bookkeeper for the Lane & Bronson Sawmill company. He, with Messrs. McNitt and Nichols, his neighbors, lighted brush, which later became unmanageable. A rescue party was sent to the home-stead of Miss Brewen, teacher in District No. 156, but her cabin was surrounded by the leaping flames, blown to a fury by the south wind, and the two paths leading to the cabin thus cut off every avenue of escape. At one time the rescuers reached within 200 yards of the house and saw the woman trying frantically to protect the child of former member of the Montana legislature Wyman, who succumbed with her. Trowbridge is held in custody by Warden Hanson pending a security bond issued by the sawmill company for his appearance at trial. May Tie Up System From Portland Maine, to Chicago. Montreal, July 18.—Conductors and trainmen of th Grand Trunk and Central Vermont railways obeyed an automatic strike order at 9:30 o'clock tonight. On Sunday when the members of the strike committee left here each man carried a sealed envelope to be opened at the hour calling a strike unless a telegram had previously been received which upon comparison with a copy enclosed in the envelope, stated otherwise.

Valley, Wash., July 18.—"Get out of th buggy while I shoot you," shouted Elmer Hyatt while returning with two other companions from a fishing trip, as the result of a quarrel over settlement of expenses of a fishing trip to Waits lake. The three men jested with Hyatt and considered the matter a joke, but when Wilson alighted Hyatt aimed his rifle at him and the cartridge missed fire. When Wilson realized that his life was in jeopardy he dodged behind a telephone pole and reached for his .38 caliber automatic revolver. By the time he had julled it from his pocket Hyatt had pumped three soft-nosed bullets into the telephone pole. Wilson's first shot struck Hyatt squarely in the abdomen, but seemed to have no immediate effect, for Hyatt continued firing. Wilson's second shot took effect in Hyatt left arm. Hyatt's sight then began to fail him and he ran for a stump over which to rest his rifle, for loss of blood was sapping his strength. Before he reached the stump the two other men in the party, who had previously been powerless because of the deadly rain of bullets, rushed to Hyatt, grabbed his arms, took his rifle from him and quieted Wilson. Hyatt was hurried to Valley in the carriage and expired a few minutes after reaching the office of Dr. Cartwright. Snapping Turtle Eggs. A snapping turtle lays about two dozen eggs. These are placed in damp sand in a hollow scooped out by the turtle. The mother turtle almost or wholly buries herself in the sand.
