AN "EDUCATIONAL CRUISE" PLANNED Sailors of Atlantic Fleet to See the World. Sailors of Atlantic Fleet to See the World. TRIP WILL LAST 3 MONTHS. It Is Secretary Daniels' Idea That Navy Can Be Made a Great Technical Training School as Useful In Time of Peace as In War-Cruise Will Replace Regular Winter Practice. Washington.—Beginning Jan. 1 next the Atlantic fleet will cruise in foreign waters for three months and perhaps longer, is the announcement of Secretary of the Navy Daniels. The cruise is to be known as "the educational cruise." It is in connection with the furtherance of Secretary Daniels' policy of making the United States navy in times of peace a great educational school where young men in the navy will receive thorough technical training in industries requiring special mechanical knowledge and at the same time enjoy the broadening advantage of first hand knowledge of the great countries of the world. The "educational cruise" is to take the place of the annual winter practice at Guantanamo, Cuba. The fleet which will make the "educational cruise" will exceed in total tonnage and strength of armament the famous battle fleet which went around the world. Speaking of the cruise, Secretary Daniels said: "I have decided to send the Atlantic squadron on a winter cruise covering the most interesting ports of the world, because I believe we should offer to the enlisted men every opportunity which lies in our power to obtain that knowledge of other countries from personal observation, which in every rank of life gives to the traveled man an advantage over those who have spent their lives at home in the upward struggle. "The cruise next winter will be so timed as to give every enlisted man in the fleet shore leave at every port of interest. I, of course, am a firm believer in the general theory that the best way to find out if anything will < SECRETARY OF THE NAVY DANIELS. work is to try it and see, and I appreciate, from the technical side, the advantages that the officers of the fleet will gain on a long cruise of this kind, where various maneuvers can be carried out at sea and many experiments in communication between ships and similar matters carried out under actual service conditions. "But what seems to me equally if not more important is the educational value of this trip to the men behind the guns. I hope before my administration is ended that the public will have a clear understanding of the splendid training ship offers to enlisted men. No man who has served in the navy leaves the service without being far better equipped to earn his living than he was before he enlisted. "The navy is a great and expensive institution which must be kept always ready for times of war. Why, then, not use it as a great technical training school for our country in times of peace?" The battleships which it is planned to send on the "educational cruise" are the Wyoming, Florida, Arkansas, Delaware, North Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Louisiana, Michigan, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Nebraska, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Connecticut, Idaho, Kansas and Iowa. The tonnage of this squadron of ships is 364,500 as compared with 223,500 in the trip around the world in 1907-8. The tentative plans call for Gibraltar as the first stop. It may be that the fleet will make one or two stops on route. It will divide at Gibraltar and make a leisurely tour of the Mediterranean in divisions, stopping at practically every port of importance. Sent to Jail by Wife at Ninety. Sellinsgrove, Pat-David Wertly, aged ninety years, was sent to jail here by Judge Moser on his wife's charge of nonsupport. He is the oldest man ever brought before the court. QUAKER CITY MAYOR WILL GO TO SCHOOL Philadelphia.—Rudolph Blankenburg, the reform mayor of this city, and the members of his cabinet have decided to go back to school to take a course in political economy, so that they may be more competent to administer the affairs of the city. The mayor and at least two members of his cabinet have arranged to go to Madison, Wis., to attend a course of lectures at the University of Wisconsin. The course, which is short and theoretical, is designed to solve the problems that confront modern municipalities. When the mayor and his directors return they expect to be able to ride roughshod over some of the municipal quagmires which have all but engulfed them to date. The most trying difficulties are matters of finance, the mayor being desirous of getting enough funds to run the city, and members of councils having conveniently blocked every move. The mayor acknowledges that if the lecture course will answer the question of how to whip in line belligerent councilmen he and his directors will feel that they have been amply repaid for their trip west. Not only will Mayor Blankenburg and his advisers take the lecture course—which is to be jammed into three days—but the entire membership of the City club, an uplift organization, will probably accompany the officials. The special lecture program arranged to assist Mayor Blankenburg and his directors to run Philadelphia is a very comprehensive one. It has been arranged by the University of Wisconsin faculty and takes in every phase of municipal existence, even telling what shall be done with the waste or unoccupied lands in a city, to say nothing of the broad subject of taxation. Evans, Colo.—When a terrier belonging to Judge James Trefoning refused to answer his summons in the midst of a suit that Judge Trefoning was hearing the court made an investigation and discovered that the animal was dead. Court was adjourned for the day. The judge made a coffin for his pet, and witnesses and jury as well as spectators attended the funeral. Preacher of Ninety-eight In Putit. Middletown, N. Y.-The Rev. O. P. Crandall, who is ninety-eight years old and since his superannuation has lived at Ridgebury, near here, preached a sermon in the Methodist church there Court Closes When Dog Dies. the accused. Counsel do not seem to the public to be officers of a court seeking for truth and justice, but players of an unethical intellectual game. The Judge seems to regard himself—often performance as a mere umpire between contending parties and not as an agent of the commonwealth to settle controversies on their merits. The American public has lost some of its old faith in the judge as a protecting agent for carrying out the substantial requirements of law and justice. Much of the injurious promulgation of testimony, cross examination and argument in the American courts is due to the fact that the judges have been deprived of effective control over counsel. The judge should always be the principal person in the courtroom. He is in England; often he is not in this country. The American practice of electing judges for short terms has seriously impaired in many states the quality of judges and their position in the community. The very voters that elect the judges easily acquire a habit of distrusting them. Washington. - Smallpox in Alaska has caused the public health service to decree that all travelers from the United States to the territory must be vaccinated or show a certificate not more than five years old. Last Friday afternoon there was a great bubbub in the Record room of the United States Custom House, caused by the entrance of "Lynch Law Most Go" John Mitchell of Richmond, Va., and the United States, accompanied by a little bunch of spinach on his upper lip, and a smile broad enough to embrace all creation. It was the lunch-hour and I was taking 37½ winks, when I heard the "woece" of a male man asking where it could find John E. Bruce. I uprose at the sound thereof and "advanced" to the front when I dol and behold who should be standing there but "ouah" John, with a great big white sombrero and the regulation freck cost of the southern states man. I hadn't seen John Mitchell in fifteen years, an' I just naturally had to holler my joy at meeting him and especially to see him looking so well. He was as fat as a corn fed sheat and as independent as a wood sawyer (banks to his "chaid" piece) but he was the same lovable, manly, friendly, bighearted John Mitchell of thirty or more years ago, who never forgot a friend, or went out of his way to retaliate upon an enemy. We chatted of old times and old friends of the long ago, of the future, the present and the past. I took John's temperature while he "got that" talking with me, and I think it no violation of a professional secret to say that his temperature is absolutely normal and that his financial health is A1. John is theummine hummer that ever tried the business and commercial boardwalk, and he is coming down the line with both feet, and too nails a draggin'. I parted with the distinguished son of the sacred soil with reluctance and regret, and "shooed" him over to the South Ferry L. Station, from whence his mostly form was transported up 3rd. Ave to 421 st., whither he wentosing after some "statics" as some of us "po' cullud" people "pernounces" that "woid." God bless John Mitchell "the bright consumate flower of our laser generation" and the tangible sign of promise to be astounding and rejuvenate. Nor are waiting for the coming of nature. Graceful mountains are clearing away, and jacuzzi day stands tiptoe on the misty mountain top." WHY THE COURTS FAIL TO SATISFY Dr. Charles W. Eliot Calls For Higher Standards. FLAYS EXPERT TESTIMONY. Bins of Trained Scientific and Professional Men, He Avors, One of the Causes For Public's Dissatisfaction With Courts—Minor Errors Shouldn't Defeat Justice. Boston.—In an address before the Massachusetts Bar association Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard university, scathingly arraigned many of the practices that now obtained in the courts and declared that the ethical standards among scientific and professional men needed to be raised much higher. "It ought to be a disgrace for an engineer, a chemist, a physicist or a physician or surgeon to appear in court for money, to set forth so much of the truth as tells in favor of one side of the case while suppressing all parts of the truth which support the contention of the other side," said Dr. Eliot. "It ought to be made clear in all these professions that honor requires their members to appear in court only as impartial expositors of scientific truth so far as it is ascertained. "The responsibility of the medical profession in regard to the plea of infancy in criminal cases, heavy Members of the profession are largely responsible for giving so called expert testimony which goes quite beyond the limits of present knowledge concerning mental diseases and for inventing exculpatory terms—such as 'brain storm,' for instance—which are mere verbal insinuations drawn from obscure regions where facts are few and theories vague. In these shadowy regions it is easy to procure opposing or, indeed, contradictory medical opinions in great abundance, and unscrupulous lawyers are all too ready to avail themselves of such facilities." Dr. Elliot had been invited to speak on "The Causes of Dissatisfaction With the Courts." He considered that "the passing of the judge, the disappear- ```markdown ``` DR. CHARLES W. ELIOT. ance of great courtroom advocates, the popular distrust of courts and the disposition of rich business men and corporations to avoid litigation and 'beat the law' so far as they safely can, and even farther," have constituted a vicious circle of evil tendencies which have had a deplorable influence on public opinion. Many failures of justice have resulted from the dismissal of suits because of flaws in the indictments, and these failures are peculiarly exasperating to the intelligent public. To its thinking, an insignificant error in spelling or grammar or in describing a place or a person should never be allowed to block the course of justice. An indictment need only have the degree of accuracy which will enable a sensible man to understand what is charged against John Mitchell. John Mitchell. Bruce Grit. NO. 9 Anecdotal Literature BY W. G. A PRUDENT CHOICE. A princess had two royal suitors. One was old but rich, the other was young, and handsome but poor. They happened to meet when they were ready to press their suit. The old man knelt on his rheumatic knee, kissed the princess' slim white hand and said: "Ah! I would die for you." The priness emiled and said pleas anly, "stand aside." Then the young man stopped forth and kneeling with gallant grace, he kissed her hand, and said: "All I would live for you." The princess, calling them both up said to the old man, "I am yours," and to the young "I am yours to live as soon as this old gentleman dies for me." A STRIK 冈 Nat Goodman at a supper in New York. advised a group of young actresses, never to speed too much on Easter hats. "I'll never forget," said he "an Easter of the past, when my wife brought out a huge bundle, and cried— "Nst, my dear, I want to show you my new hat. Isn't it a beauty—just 95 dollars. How does that strike you?" "It strikes me," I gasped, "below the money belt, my love." Turner—"Friend Dolphins,why on earth do you let your wife go around boasting that she made a man of you? You don't never hear my wife say a." Dolphins—"No, but I've often heard her say she tried her hardest." FIRKER. A Cleveland man who makes a practice of using his words with care, and endeavored to instill it into the family circle, made a memorandum of the misused words uttered by his son and daughter during a recent breakfast. The result was: Elegant, nineteen times. Awful, eleven times. Dandy, six times. Fierce, four times. Great, two times. When the meal was over, the head of the household called the family around him in the library and gravely read the totals to them. "Gee, that's fierce!" said the son. "I can't awfu?" said the daughter. PREFERRED THE RING. Maud who was a little jealous of Sue, said: "When you broke your engagement with Jack of course you returned the diamond ring he gave you. Sue answered promptly. "No. and I don't intend to either. I don't care for Jack any more, but my feelings have not changed towards the ring." THE WOODS FULL OF EM Sudy — Pa, what is a car and?

Harfield is no baby player in business affairs. At first some said he was playing to the galleries, but having reasoned with the miners and no end for good living sense, he spoke in no uncertain tone, and to work they went. So much for a positive man, the lack for whom the whole world is suffering,—more like him. The cures of slavery have divided the Negro so wide and dangerous to his unfit benefit in business devotion to true race pride that it is probable that God allows his foes to tread on him, and will, till he himself gets tired, goes back to his original fearless condition and affection and demands his rights as and Patrick Henry on the basis of "Liberty or death." Some years ago the late William T. Shead, who went down with the Titanic, while visiting this country addressed a large crowd of colored people in Chicago and said among other things: your people have not been lynched, shot down and burned enough yet in this country and you won't be till you make up your minds to retaliate. Guess Richard H. Austin had made up his mind to that effect. The Associated Press makes a mistake when it tells the world that Dr. Graybill of Hedgesville was brutally assaulted and beaten into insensibility by Negroes with black jackets. There was a fight but to our knowledge no black jackets were used, nor was Graybill beaten into insensibility. White we deprecate the condemn of the Negroes, it is fine fair to tell the truth. Dr. Graybill came to Martinsburg the next day and bad warrants sworn out for his assassinators, and attended the trial soon after. While the Vardamas, the Till mana, the Bloeses et al., are rearing and encrting about disfranchising Negroes all over this country, good and sensible democrats are not only treating Negroes like men and brethren, but are advocating a free field on intermarriage. Attorney General Hogan of Ohio did it, and that State killed the anti-marriage law, as have many other states. Where can be found a fairer or better man, though a democratic, then Governor William Sulzer, who, to the Negroes' rights as men is as true as is the needle to the pole. He has a running mate in the person of Edward F. Danne, Governor of Illinois, whose record in behalf of Negroes is almost Godly. Another. John Worth Kru. United States Senator from Indiana, is as white as they come, and as fair as man can be, and he is a democrat, and Vice President Marshall's voice will never be heard denouncing colored people, for he is broad minded, Christ like, and bulged with practical christianity. O'Gorman, Senator of New York, is four square on the Negro and his whole rights, as is the Governor of Kness, and we close this editorial with the statement our Senator, William E. Chilton is no foe to our people and is loved by those who know him. Why don't the little narrow, frothy monthed Negro baters, try to put something in their flies' brains, and let the Negroes alone, for the more the Negroes try to show themselves men, and by that enlist additional whiffs on their side. Varied: narrow and thick weave. Before this Congress passes it will face the question of repealing the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution, focusing the Negroes on the further question of modifying the Fourteenth Amendment which overfits upon the Negroes' other rights of citizenship. For months the movement to strike at these two dimensions in so far as they allow the members of the African race to participate in politics has been under way, it has been discussed quietly, not with a determination to press the issue while both branches of Congress remain in the hands of the Democratic party. Senator Varavatham of Mississippi, one of the most incompromising opponents of the Negro a voter, has announced that he himself will introduce the resolutions in the Senate which zealled bodily the life with amendment and which will in a measure abrogate the Fourteenth. Book of the Mississippi will be a group of her Southern Senators, who have for years even a generation, met the black men at the pots and recognized in him, however diliterate or ignorant, an apost in the alt. of the Law. — Martinism evening Journal. We are more than a little surprised at the Evening Journal's except relative to Vardaman's wholesale hope of disfranchising the colored citizen of the United States by annulting the 14th and 15th Amendment to the Constitution. Instead of its falling in line with that old hypocrite, it should have bitterly denounced the acumen, as millions the nation over will do. Does not the Journal know that three fourths of the States would have to repeal their action that made those amendments constitutional? Has the Journal forgotten that when Lincoln was asked: "When will the war end?" his reply was: "Not till every drop of blood drawn from the block man's back; shell have been repaid by the sword, so just is God." Does the Journal want another war? I would cause it, and the Negroes' cause would enlist millions of many whites—men and women in the defense. The Negroes cleared the foreste, fenced in millions of acres, mowed the windows, and by their unceasing will enriched and educated the whites of America. Our women wooed, cared, noreed and suckled from their breasts militia of white children, and when their masters were on the bloody fields of battle fighting to keep them in slavery they remained on the plantations, worked and cared for the white women and children, and never was the charge of rape laid at their door. Never lived a more law abiding or a more peaceable set of people, than the American Negroes. They have fought in all the wars, and have been lavishly praised for their valor, and stand ready and willing to go to the front now day this nation needs them. Would any other class of people do so, having been treated so they have? We say no! and no again! If Negroes have been debauched in politics, the whites are the cause of it, for they were the purchasers of them, at and around the polls. Who are the worse, the Negroes that the Vandaman class disgraced for two hundred and fifty years in slavery, and dotted the land over with mulattoes, and their own flesh and blood, then after surrendering, combined to lynch them, disfranchise them, jumrow them, and deny them educational opportunities; or the Negroes whose progress has astounded the world? It would be a deal better and wiser, if the better element of whites united in cutting down southern representation, for nearly a hundred, Vardaman included, go to Congress by their corrupt politics through lycee law, the shotgun and the torch, as Ben. Tillman has declared on the floor of the United States Senate. A word to the Negroes. Give yourselves no worry, for it will never be done. They can't do it. When Vardeman and his ilk will be scorching it——, you, or yours will be God's cared for charge. Do your duty; first to your God; next to yourselves, then to your country, for you are not Africone, but as true Americans as ever breathed the breath of life. Vardaman is the old wretch who declared that "Booker T. Washington is no better than my nigger boot black." I is not the worstless. Negroed the Vardaman class are fighting, but it is the self uplifting, educational taking, property owning—many men and womenly women, they are opposing, and the fool haven't enough sense to realize that they are uplifting against the wind. In above dee one white man voted for himself and voted for three fiftehs of his clives, that is, if he owned 500, he voted 301 times, worse now, for although declared free, the Vardana of the South are voting for all the Negraes of the South, and going to Congress by it. --- MORGAN AND BIG BUSINES During Mr. Morgan's active business leadership, the United States has been changing from an agricultural country into an industrial state. This has involved stupendous changes, not only in business conditions. In the same time industry, as well as commerce and finance, has been internationalized. Since 1837 when Mr. Morgan was born, the railroads have been developed, steam has driven the sailing vessel from the ocean, iron has replaced wood, the telegraph, the cable, and the telephone have annihilated distance, the corporation has taken the place of the individual, and credit has become subject to natural laws that are international in scope. It almost seems to be true, as Alfred Mosely said to me a few weeks ago, as if the world were indeed becoming too small for the needs and the ability and the ambition of man. Now Mr. Morgan perceived, as other men perceived, that if this country was to be able to develop its industries on a scale of world competition, it was necessary that national organization should take the place of town organization. That is to say, our industries were small, at first competent only to supply local needs, then perhaps developed so as to supply counties and even States, but still largely provincial, and by methods of competition which were self-destroying, preventing the building of a great industrial empire competent to take its place as a world power. Others saw this, but Mr. Morgan had the courage to act. U. durabilis leadership, combination took the place of provincial competition. Big, efficient business succeeded to small, inefficient, wasteful business. The steel and other industries were organized on a national basis: and the United States increased its wealth and power by leaps and bounds. Now this again was government taking the place of anarchy. I was Napoleon succeeding the Reign of Terror. Masterful government. It was conscrucive statemanship; but it was "Morgan government." Then the Government at Washington spoke. The people were alarmed by the very combinations which were making the country rich and powerful. Some of these new corporations were bigger than big States, more powerful even than many States put together. The creature of law seemed to grow greater than the law; the child of the State than the nation itself. The trust question became the issue of the hour; the enforcement of the Sherman Anti-trust Law became the government policy; and the intricate, the difficult and the still unsolved problem of how to preserve the benefits of cooperation and combination and protect ourselves from the perils of its great powers; and the unsolved problem of how to have the benefits of competition and not to be ruined by it;—there are now before the country—From "John Pierpoint Morgan," by S. Reno S. Fratt, in the American Review of Reviews. Circular on Lime. The Experiment Station has in press Circular No. 6, on the use of lime on the farm, by Professor B. H. Hite Station Chemist. During the last year or two there has been greatly increased interest among the farmers of the state upon this important subject, and the cirpular is prepared to answer numerous inquiries for information. It includes a discussion of how lime improves soil texture, the growth of grass and clover, and promotes beneficial soil bacteria. It discusses how lime makes plant food available, and how it affects sour and worn out soils. Directions are given for the application of different forms of lime; and a list of dealers in lime from whom West Virginia farmers may purchase it is appended. This circular will have wide distribution, and will be soot free to all those applying for it who are not now on the Station mailing list. Agricultural Improvements Several minor improvements are being made in the plans of the College of Agriculture. The greenhouses are being thoroughly repaired, and new beds are being installed. A cellar for storage of fruits is being built in connection with the farm, where fruit for class work may be stored during the fall and winter months. The horticultural department has created a Young Sidis, Mathematical Wonder, Entered Harvard at Eleven. Cambridge, Mass. - William James Sidis, fifteen, gives promise of obtaining a Harvard bachelor of arts next June. This youthful mathematical wizard entered the university at eleven as a specialist in mathematics. Meanwhile he has included sufficient other courses to make his college schedule an evenly balanced one. Young Sidis is the son of Dr. Boris Sidis, one of the foremost psychologists in the country. His younger years were spent at the knees of his father, where he imbibed the rudimentary knowledge of mathematics which was later to make him known as one of the scholastic marvels of the country. At eight he entered the Brookline high school, and two years later saw him at Tufts, where he remained for one year before entering Harvard. TO HAVE A NOISELESS WORLD If Prediction of Harvard Otologist Is Correct. Cambridge.—A noiseless world, minus all clamor, is the boon foretold for coming generations by Dr. Clarence John Blake, Harvard's well known otologist. "The world of tomorrow," said Dr. Blake, "while not a soundless will be a practically noiseless one. The campaign now being waged by welfare committees and other associations, both indoors and outdoors, means that as the work branches out so much nearer shall we be to a quieter and healthier state of existence. "Noise at loud lead noise—is needless. impairment of the hearing faculties, aside from being caused by sound, is caused also by dust substances and injurious gases that come into contact with the mucous membranes in the nose and throat, thus distressing the organs of the inner ear and causing deafness. "Occupations which may affect the ear are mining, stonecutting, engineering, stoking, metal industries, glass-blowing, manufacturing of blechromate of lead, dealing in old rags, horsehair and sawdust, mattemaking, flourmaking, diving and blowing of wind instruments. Mother of pearl cutting is the most dangerous of all to the hearing." Few Grizzlies Now: Left Sacramento, Cal.-The grizzly bear is fast becoming extinct in California.

LEISHMAN DEFIES BOTH EMPERORS NO RECOGNITION FOR BRIDE William H. and Francis Joseph Both Declare Match Would Be Undesirable to Them -- Nancy Leishman Would Be Ostracized by German and Austrian Courts. Berlin.—Ambassador Leishman's announcement that his daughter Nancy was to marry the Duke of Croy in the face of Emperor William's strong opposition to the match has created much gossip in court circles here. It may even lead to embarrassing diplomatic complications if the American ambassador maintains the stand he has taken. The Duke of Groy lives in Germany, but his title is Hungarian, and as he belongs to the small number of mediatized houses of Europe recognized as having an equality of birth with the reigning families he cannot make a marriage that will be recognized in his own country without the approval of the German and the Austrian sovereigns. Both the German and Austrian emperors have refused to sanction anything but a morganatic marriage in this case, and Mr. Laishman's open in- ANLA SADOR LEISUAN. tention of assisting his daughter and the young duke in defying the two sovereigns is an extraordinary position for an ambassador accredited to one of them to take. The emperor and empress in Berlin are very much agitated over it, but Emperor Francis Joseph is to the philosophical. Not so, however, is the Duke of Gray's mist. Arethusness is issued, wife of the emperor's cousin, Arendale Frederick. She was responsible for the peremptory order transferring the duke from Pottschul to Vienna, as she hoped to bring him under her direct influence and persuade him to break off the match. Should it be consummated according to the plans announced by Ambassador Leibshman, the bride will be in exactly the same position as the American born Countess Gisquet James, who married in England Luke Henry Berlin of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, a cousin of the German crown princess, but who has failed utterly to have it recognized in Germany because it was made without the emperor's consent. Miss Leishman could not under any circumstances be received at the Austrian court, as its severe laws do not confer upon the wife any privilege of the court through her husband, but only those she inherits from her own ancestry. For this reason Cladys Vanderbilt has no position at the Viennese court, although she is on friendly social terms with the archduchesses, who receive and visit her. But the hostility of the Archduchess Frederick would make Vienna intolerable for the Duke of Croy's American wife. He has large estates in Westphalia, but they are heavily encumbered and have to yield large incomes for various members of the family who have an entailed share in the revenues. His mother, a German princess, is still alive, and he has two young brothers and a sister whose marriage portions will come out of the estate. His father heavily mortgaged his resources to obtain a suitable dowry for the brilliant marriage of his sister Isabelle to the Austrian arcbude, while the father's second sister is now a widow and has to be taken care of by the Croy estates. The Leishman Paris residence has been on the market for some time, and it is hinted that they have suffered many financial reverses during the past few years. Under these circumstances it is difficult to see how the ambassador can give his daughter sufficient dowry so that she and her hus- a band can live out of the reach of the ostracism of his relatives and also go to the extreme length of compromising his diplomatic position by urging a marriage which has aroused the opposition of the emperor.

The Danish government adopted the 10 September MESSAGE HIDDEN 15 YEARS AGO IS FOUND Son When Small Boy Hid It to Save Mother's Feelings. Menosha, Wis.—Young Stephen Brown, whose family moved away from Wisconsin fifteen years ago, recently came back to his old home in Neenah on a visit. He requested the young man with whom he was staying to take a walk with him to the lake shore. The friend thought the road was rather muddy, but went without comment. When the men arrived at a certain spot Brown turned over a large stone, looked eagerly under it and exclaimed in a low voice, "By George, here it is." He drew out a moldy, wet, discolored envelope, evidently containing a telegram. The paper within bore this message, most of which was obliterated, but a few words could be deciphered here and there: "Wallace Brown died last night at midnight." It was sent from Detroit and bore a date fifteen years old. The young man's eyes filled with tears as he told his friend the story of the telegram. Fifteen years before Brown's father had died suddenly while in Detroit on business. The telegram announcing his death came while Mrs. Brown was away from the house, and the boy, then a little child, opened and read it. With some childish idea of saving his mother from the distress he knew the message would cause her he ran as fast as he could and hid the telegram under a stone and did not tell of its arrival. He remembered that his mother fainted when she heard the news later and died a few months afterward, leaving him and his brother friendless orphans. He had forgotten all about the telegram until his first visit to his old home recalled it to mind, and the tears came often as he recounted forgotten memories resurrected at the sight of that mildewed paper. Kansas City-Benjamin F. White, for years a practicing lawyer in Kansas City, has quit the law for the farm.

Lad Gets to Yonkers by Short Stages From Wilson's Inaugural. Yonkers, N. Y.-Leo McGrath, thirteen, son of Patrick McGrath, a contractor, of 90 Morris street, this city, who left, unaccompanied, for President Wilson's inauguration March 2 and had not been heard from since, has returned home. The lad said that he met a body of troopers from the Fifth Massachusetts regiment and after the inauguration worked his way home by doing odd jobs, mostly as office boy, at different places along the route. He never knew there was so much pity for a youngster like him, he said. He found no difficulty, he said, in procuring enough to eat. AUTO CHURCH DEDICATED. Beating Capacity of 200 When Tent It Carries Is Spread. Chicago...The first motorcar church to be used by a religious society in America was dedicated here on the lawn of St. Xavier's academy by the Right Rev. D. J. Dougherty, bishop of Jaro, Philippine Islands. The car, which is called St. Peter's Motor chapel, is the gift of a California woman in memory of her husband. The equipment will be shipped to Brownsville, Tex., and two Oblate fathers will take it through the southwest for the next year. A large tent, carried on its top, surrounds the car when it is used as a church and seats 200 persons. ICELAND GOING "DRY." ICELAND GOING "DRY." No More Alcoholic Liquor There After This Year.

Are Training For the Time When Wives Will Vote. Picture Rocks, Pa.—Asserting they were fearful lest the ballot will be granted to women and the husbands will have to do housework, the able-bodied men of this place have formed an organization known as the Men's Sewing Square. At their last meeting they brought sewing bags and their wives' stockings to mend and began the task of plying the needle in order to ascertain if warning was as hard as they had always been led to believe. The Rev. L. N. Earle, pastor of the Methodist church, who was elected chairman of the "square," presided, and some of the work that the men performed is declared by their wives to have been far better than they could have imagined. The men prepared a supper without women's aid, which, they say, they ate with relish and were all home before 11 o'clock. The "square" will meet once each week. FIRST SMILE IN THREE YEARS Convict Who Grinned Hasn't Spoken In That Time. Stockton, Cal.—"Silent" Carson, the convict who was brought to this city for investigation by alienists and who has not been known to utter a word during the three years that he has been under sentence of death for participation In a prison break, is reported to have smiled at one of the hospital attendants, and this may break down the obstacle that has prevented his execution on a charge of murder. Physicians who have had Carson under observation say this is the first display of any emotion on his part of which they have any record and that conclusions heretofore accepted as proving him insane may be reviewed. Carson is being subjected to a new and original system of investigation by several physicians. SWAT FLIES FOR PRIZES. Cincinnati to Raise $1,000 For War on the Pests. Cincinnati—"Swat the fly" crusaders have commenced hostilities against the household pests and will spend hundreds of dollars in their fight on them and their breeding places, according to the plans made here by the food committee of the Consumers' league. It is planned to raise $1,000 for prizes to boys and girls who catch the most flies during the months the pests are busiest spreading disease. One plan is to ask all the women's clubs of the city and mothers' clubs in the schools to raise the money. Another plan proposed is to interest the business men. BLIND 32 YEARS, SHE IS REGAINING SIGHT Syracuse, N. Y.-Mrs. Peter Berger, who became totally blind thirty-two years ago, after an operation for cataracts, is regaining her sight. She can now distinguish the forms of persons standing against the light and can see the rays of electric street lamps and lights in her home. Her physician says that soon she will see as clearly as ever. Mrs. Berger is the mother of eleven children. She has seen only one of them. That was the eldest son, who died twelve years ago. Since she became blind she has attended to all her household duties and cared for her children. Mrs. Berger said: "I have prayed nightly and during the day that my sight shall be restored so I could see my children before I passed from this earth. "They have never refused to obey me and have treated me with the greatest of kindness. Some of them are married. I have often wondered how the children appeared and even at times have pictured each of their faces in my mind. I am sure that I will not be disappointed in my first sight of them." Mrs. Berger said that she could clearly make out the outlines of people's forms, but was unable to distinguish their features.

Chicago—A hotel for "down and out" men, to cost $100,000, will be erected by Charles G. Dawes, president of the Central Trust company of Illinois as a memorial to his son, Rufus Fearing Dawes, who was drowned in Lake Greva on Sept. 5, 1912. Eventually Mr. Dawes will erect a similar refuge for women of the same class. These hotels had been projects which the father and son had planned to carry out together, and Mr. Dawes pledged himself to devote all his spare time to carrying out the work his son had long looked forward to. "Lodging will be furnished at cost, not to exceed 5 cents," said Mr. Dawes. "The doors of this hotel will never be closed to those out of employment. All we ask is that they promise to pay when they find work again. It will extend credit to the unfortunate upon their promise alone. A free employment agency will be run in connection with the hotel. "My boy was greatly interested in the Y. M. C. A., and the idea of this work was originally suggested by that being done by the Bowery Y. M. C. A. of New York city."

CHIO For Thirty Years THE PIONEER PRESS Has been the leader in this State and Nation for the grand and noble fight that is being waged for the amelioration of the condition of the Negro. The PIONEER PRESS was never known to lag or trifle in any matter where the interest of the race was involved. For this characteristic, THE PRESS should have the unswerving support and encouragement of Negroes everywhere. It contains reliable news, interesting editorials and clever special articles. It is safely recommended to you as a perfect newspaper for the home and family. IT LEADS in the quantity of original matter which it furnishes its patrons. IT LEADS in its spicy editorials and fearless sayings. IT LEADS in its general, local and miscellany pages. TAKEN all in all, we don't feel that we are exaggerating when we state that The PIONEER PRESS is one of the best all around weekly papers in this country today. WE ARE not alone in making this statement, for some of the best and most prominent men of the United States have done likewise. These persons above referred to, were not confined to one particular race, either, but to both. THE PIONEER PRESS Has the LARGEST city circulation— The LARGEST Foreign circulation— The LARGEST domestic and general circulation— The LARGEST county and rural circulation of any Negro newspaper in the United States— Has the LARGEST Anglo Saxon circulation— WHY IS THE ABOVE SO? BECAUSE it is the pioneer of this section in blazing the way for truth, honesty, piety and frugality and all other requisites that are necessary for the making of manly men and womenly women of all races. BECAUSE it merits support and gets it is proof positive that people know a good thing when they see it. BECAUSE of its unique and original qualities the PIONEER PRESS has a noticeable exclusiveness enjoyed by no other paper in the class wherein it circulates.
