"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN." The Pioneer ESTABLISHED 1882. AN ORIGINAL SHORT STORY FOR BOYS. BY JOHN E. BRUCE GRIT. One bright morning in the month of June 1864, a boy about 13 years of age, fair complexion, with blue eyes, anburn hair cropped close, and wearing a pair of made over trousers of Army blue, and a soldier's discarded cap, made his way to the dock in New Orleans, where the British Passengership, the Heron, was taking on supplies and freight for a long sea voyage. The Captain happened to be standing on the dock, near the gangway, conversing with the Purser, when the lad came along. Dofling his shabby cap to the two officers who were still engaged in an animated discussion, he looked appealingly into the face of the captain, who noticing him said "Good morning my lad, what can I do for you?", "Ah would lak sah ten giter job on y'or bote" "You would eb? What can you do on a boat?" asked the captain. "Did you ever work on a boat?" "Yassir" answered the boy. "Fiehing botes," The Captain laughed. Turning to the Purser he said take the little chap aboard and see if you cannot find some work for him, he seems a likely little fellow. How much wages will you expect, my lad?" The boy who had never worked for wages in his life, threw out his chest, and said proudly: "One dollar a munt sah" and the captain roared. "Well" he said, when his mirth subsided, "if we can find a place aboard for you my little man, we will give you 15 or 16 dollars a month, and your board and a pretty uniform." The boy's eyes brightened at this bit of good news, and the hunted look in his face disappeared. The Purser took him aboard and installed him as Cabin boy in Captain's cabin. He was taken in charge by one of the petty officers of the vessel and instructed in all the mysteries of his new office, a new suit of clothes was given him, a cap and shoes that fitted him, and after he had had a bath in a big tub in the hold of the ship, he was dressed in his uniform and directed to report to the Captain. The Captain, a kind hearted English gentleman of the old school, greeted him warmly when he entered his Cabin and asked him his name. "Dey calls me Phillip, sah, dat's all." What was your father's name, lad? "Marster's name is Engleston sah." "Is he your father?" "Yassir, dats wat dey tells me, close ah doant kno' eny mo' den dat." The Captain looked puzzled and amused, but he instantly understood, "Oh I see," said he, "we will put you down as Phillip Engleston, then." "Yassir," said the boy—dats me. Very well said the Captain. Now Phillip, this ship is going to England. Have you ever been to England?" "Naw sah, ab saint nuvver bin no whar cep'n dis place." "Well my lad, England is a pretty big country, and when you get over there you may not want to remain on this ship, and in that event I might find a more sgr-e-e-e-e-e tha- u bis. Yassir, yassir, answered Phillip in his politi- est maneuer. Ah isn't afeard o'no kind of wuk, sah, ahs willing an' ab ill wuk anywhar you put me sah, ab wants to get er eddycashun, an' be somebody an' ah wants to make sum money so ah kin advertise for my mammy." "You mean your mother lad?" "Yasseah." Where is she? "Ah dunno, sah, she bin sole we'n ab wuz so high—indicating by ?a gesture his height—an' ah sin nuvver seen her sance." The Captain was moved by this graphic recital of the crude details of the tragedy in this boy's life and assured him that he would do all in his power to help him find his mother. "Did your fath—did Mr. Eagleeton sell your mother?" "Yasseah he bin sole her jes fore de wah eah." "What was your mother's name lad?" "She bin name Clarisay." "I mean what was her Surname?" "She warnt no sur sahl!" The Captain smiled sadly and explained his meaning. Then the boy answered "ah doant kno sah, ahaint nuver heard about dat, des Clarriesy; data all. The Captain was visibly affected by the recital of this simple story told by the boy and he then and there resolved to do all he could to find that mother if possible. Dismissing Phillip, he looked up the Purser, and told him what he had learned of the boy's history and asked him to cooperate with him in an effort to find the poor little lad's mother which the latter gladly promised to do. Mr. Haldene, the purser, was more familiar with New Orleans than the Captain and to him the captain entrusted the details of his plans for ascertaining the present whereabouts of Mrs. Clarisa Engleston, wife, by the law of God, of her master and the father of her son from whom she had been cruelly sold, when he was but three years of age by her affectionate, but sordid husband. Mr. Haldene knew a number of colored men who worked around the docks, and on previous visits to New Orleans he had attended services in one of the Negro Churches—Methodist—he had noticed that at the close of each service and sometimes before the collection was lifted, that the Church Clerk would announce that he had letters for certain members, or letters of enquiry asking for lost relatives or those who had been sold. Here then was the cure. He would circularize the Colored churches of that and the adjoining state, Mississippi, and the secret societies of which there were many at that time throughout the South. He instantly suggested his plan to the captain who was quite enthused and directed him to spare no expense and to lose no time in putting his plan into operation. Accordingly the following circular letter was drafted; A gentleman in London, England, would like to know the present whereabouts of a Negro woman, whose given name is Clarisa, and who at one time was the property of one Thomas Eagleston of New Orleans, La., and who owned a large plantation near New Orleans. She has a son called Phillip. If this Woman will communicate with Messers, Huddersfield and Opic, Bankers, London, England, she will hear something of great advantage to her. 2000 of those were ordered printed. That might the name called at Continued on Second Page. HELD FOR ASSULT ON YOUNG SISTER AGGUSED WOMAN WEALTHY. Because Independent Girl Refused to Marry Rich New Yorker She Alleged She Was Attacked and Beaten—Admitted Writing Letters, Later Branding Them False. Anden, N. Y.—Mrs. Mary Jane Tatum, wife of John C. Tatum, a wealthy cotton broker living at Great Neck, N. Y., was held for the Delaware county grand jury on the charge that she assaulted her twenty-three-year-old sister, Miss Kathryn MacArthur here because Miss MacArthur would not marry Frederick W. Peters, son of a wealthy New York manufacturer. The bail demanded, $2,000, was immediately furnished, and the case will ```markdown ``` MISS. JOHN C. TATUM. be board at the October meeting of the jury. The charge is second degree assault, punishable by five years in prison or a fine of $1,000 or both. Mrs. Tatum wanted her sister to marry her wealthy friend, Mr. Peters, but the independent young woman was just as resolute in her determination not to marry him, and persuasion on the part of Mrs. Tatum and her husband was of no avail. It is alleged by the prosecution that when Miss MacArthur was a guest in her sister's home and after she had made known her intentions of refusing to marry Peters during a scene in the bedroom of the married sister that Mrs. Tatum pummed, kicked and otherwise abused her younger sister, finally ordering her from her home. She left immediately and went to the home of friends. When the preliminary hearing was held here Miss MacArthur came to court. She was accompanied by her father, his second wife and their counsel. It was shown at the hearing that Miss MacArthur had written a letter to the father of young Peters signifying her intention of announcing her engagement shortly. She testified at the trial that she dictated that letter to her brother-in-law, Mr. Tatum, and that the statements it contained were false. During the hearing it was shown that the young woman was a great admirer of Dr. Frederick W. Mason of Great Neck, a married man with several children. At the close of the hearing Mrs. Tatuta arose in anger at Justice of the Peace Charles Johnson's decision against her anti-exclamation, "If this D department of Archives, Ch l a n g o u r N. Va Press. Y INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED IN UGUST 2. 1913. V case goes beyond the grand jury well show up what's at the back of it, and then you'll get the whole truth." Her husband drew her away before she could say anything further. In her testimony Miss MacArthur was about to make some declaration as to Tatum and his wife having a "terrible fight" about "one of her admirers in New York," and as she was going to mention his name Mrs. Tatum's lawyer stopped her. WEATHER FORECAST FOR YEAR This Will Be Possible if Recent Discoveries Are Verified. Chilengo, — Discoveries which have made it possible to forecast weather conditions accurately for an entire season have been made by Professor Frost of the Yerkes observatory. Such a system, experts say, would be worth an incalculable sum to the agricultural interests, as droughts and wet seasons could be prepared far in advance of their coming. Professor Frost's discoveries have to do with the radiation of heat from the sun. In making public the results of his investigation he says he has found the radiation to be variable. This, with other discoveries Professor Frost has made, may bring about an entirely new system of forecasting weather conditions and thus robbing heat and cold, drought and flood, of their perors. CONSCIENCE HURT; WOOD SOUGHT CELL Admitted Taking $5,175 From Express Company In St. Louis. Philadelphia. - Stolen money- $5,175 - from the funds of the American Express company lay in the pockets of Alexander S. Woods, East St. Louis agent, for the company, as he wandered through the streets of this city at 3 o'clock in the morning fighting his conscience. It was just that hour when Woods stood beneath the are light at Fifteenth and Market streets watching Sergeant Daly and two patrolmen wrestling with a drunkard. He fumbled the greenbacks in his pockets, crossed the street and accosted the sergeant as the patrol wagon clanged at the curb. "Sergeant, would you mind sending me along with him?" Woods asked, indicating the staggering man. "I'm wanted by the American Express company in East St. Louis for stealing $5,175. I've stood it as long as I can. Here's the stuff." Woods pulled a handful of money from his pockets and handed it to Sergeant Daly. "I want you to send me back to St. Louis. I want to face the music," he explained. "I want to two little girls to know that even if I have made a big mistake I have done all I could to make it good." Sergeant Daly, motioned toward the patrol wagon. "Jump in," he said. Woods obeyed, and a few minutes later he was in a cell. LAST APPEAL FOR VETERAN. Retiring Warden Urges Pardon of Eighty-two-year-old Soldier. Leavenworth, Kan.—Before turning over the state penitentiary to J. D. Botkin, his successor, Warden W. W. Coddin made a last appeal to Governor Hodges recommending that David Truax, the oldest prisoner at the institution, be parisoned. Truax is eighty-two years old and is called "Daddy" by the other prisoners. Truax shot and killed John Lee, a comrade, and wounded William Lutz, members of the Soldiers' home at Dodge City, in 1905 for having taken a bottle of liquor out of his pocket. He was convicted and sentenced to serve twelve years. He has now served eight years. Truax receives a pension of $20 a month, which he sends to his crippled wife. --- 1913 "Because I'm a thief." "How's that?" "Jump in." he said. BY GAIN." OL. 32. NO. 22 WEDDING CAUSE OF FAMILY ROW Son of General Grant Was Secretly Married. May Disinherit Sons and Daughters Because They Refuse to Attend Wedding Dinner—Only One Child There. Start Immediately on Bridal Trip Around the World. Sau Diego, Cal.—U. S. Grant, Jr., son of the famous general, and Mrs. America Will, who claims descent from the hildegos who discovered and settled California, have been married. The ceremony took place at the home of Justice Putterham, a police court judge and an old friend of Mr. Grant, without premediation on the part of either Mr. or Mrs. Grant. The announcement of the wedding was made at a dinner. The dinner was a disappointment in a way. Many sad friends of Mr. Grant refused to attend, and the only child of the aged bridegroom present was U. S. Grant 4th, a junior at Harvard. Friends and relatives of Mr. Grant have been bitter in their opposition to this his second marriage, and have pleaded with him not to wed again. His grown son, Chaffee Grant, and his three daughters refused to recognize their mother-in-law. As a consequence, ```markdown ``` It is asserted that Mr. Grant has decided to cut off his children in his will unless they change their minds and show some recognition of the account Mrs. Grant. The children, on the other hand, declare that they will stand firm in their attitude toward Mrs. Will. It is reported that Cheffee Grant has engaged an attorney and purposes to take the matter into court. The couple sailed immediately for Sydney, Australia, and from there go to Cape Town, thence into the interior of Africa. From the Cape country they sail for Buenos Aires. The latter part of the trip has not been definitely decided. They will return to San Diego, however, in time for the Panama Pacific exposition in 1915. This will make a bridal tour of a year and a half. Mr. Grant stated that there was to be no effort to follow the line of travel of his father. General Grant, in his famous tour of the world. Never Wore a Hat; is a Hundred. Somerset, Pa.—Mrs. Mettle Crise, who became 100 years old recently, has always lived in the same place, and in her 100 years never gave a railroad train, street car or a telephone. She never wore a hat, a knitted hood taking its place.

Mrs. Cedric Hamilton, and little son of Pittsburg, are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Edward Tucker, of North Charles Street. Mr. Harper, of Danville, Virginia, has taken up a temporary residence in Martinsburg, and seems to be a very pleasant gentleman. Mrs. Fannie Wilson and Miss Sophie Roman, both of Youkers, New York, are visiting relatives and friends in our city. The Martinsburg Wonders, our crack base ball team, went to Chambersburg on Wednesday and trimmed the nine of that city by a score of 12 to nothing. In view of the typhoid fever epidemic, it would be well for people to eat carefully, take a little sulphur inwardly, and boil the water they drink. Mr. R. W. Anderson, the Berkeley Springs clothes cleaner and presser, spent several days in the city among friends during the week. He seemed to enjoy this story. We are requested to state that Rev. A. O. Smith will preach at Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church. of which Rev. J. W. Garner is pastor all day Sunday. Important Notice To Pythians— The Knights of Pythias Grand Lodge Session will be held at Charleston August 5, 6, 7 and 8, 1913 Please keep these dates in mind. L. O. Wilson, Grand Chancellor. Mr. J. H. Redmond, one of the best known farmers in the Hedgesville neighborhood, was a welcome caller at our office the other day. He looked well, and we were very glad to see him once again. FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD The above amount will be paid to anyone who will furnish information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person who poisoned the fine bird belonging to the editor between the hours of ten and twelve o'clock on last Saturday, July 26. Mr. James H. Stewart, and his son Leslie, of Piedmont, came here from that place on Thursday and went to Nipetown, where they visited Mr. Stewart's mother and spent a very enjoyable day. The elder Stewart is a successful man, being foreman of construction for the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company, and we take pride in pointing him out to the numerous young Negroes everywhere as a worthy example to follow. The Press office received a very pleasant call the other day from Private George Bowles, of the Tenth Cavalry Band, now stationed at the United States military maneuver grounds, near Winchester, Virginia. He is a fine type of the sturdy young soldier, a resident of Huntington, this State, and from the looks of him we imagine he can blow a horn. Anyway, he is a clever follow, and we hope to see more of him. Out in the interest of the Pioneer Press, to collect and solicit subscribers. Please be prepared to pay promptly, for I have a large territory to go over, and my time is limited, owing to other pressing matters. Very truly yours, J. R. Clifford. NEGRO YEAR BOOK, 1013.

Child Doomed, but Mother Fought Off Death For Ten Days. Los Angeles, Cal.-Determined that her baby boy should five, though three physicians declared he could not, Mrs. J. H. Spaulding of Oklahoma City kept the spark of life aglow for ten days by artificial respiration produced by her own lips. It is the most remarkable case of artificial respiration on record. Everet Spaulding was born six weeks ago, but soon after birth was seized with an affection of the heart. Three physicians declared the child could not live forty-eight hours. The mother, who is a native of California, resolved to bring the child to Los Angeles. On the way, in a Pullman berth, the father reached over and felt the baby's body. It was cold. He aroused the mother, who, finding that the heart had ceased beating, placed her lips over the mouth of the child, exhausted the air in its lungs and allowed fresh air to pour back. This process continued for several minutes revived the baby. When the train reached Tueson, Ariz., the child again had died apparently. The conductor gently told the parents that the body had to be taken to the baggage car. The mother brought it back to life. Upon arrival at Los Angeles the baby appeared stronger, but four days later it grew worse, and four hours after being taken to the hospital the child was dead. EXPERTS ON INTOXICATION. Suspected Drunks of Washington to Be Examined by Physician. Washington.—Hereafter under the new excise law put in force in the District of Columbia any person suspected of being intoxicated will be taken to a hospital for examination by a physician. Orders to this effect were issued to the police. The examining physician will be called upon to act as an expert witness in police court whenever the convivial prisoner protests his innocence. Prisoners who are obviously drunk will not be subjected to the medical examination, but will be hustled to the police station. The intention is to have the physicians look over only those individuals found tottering along in a dignified alcoholic haze and who protest that they are not intoxicated. --- STOP HUGE WASTE OF NATURAL GAS U. S. Experts Make Saving of $13.000.000 a Year. Washington.—According to Van H. Manning, assistant to the director of the United States bureau of mines, experts of the bureau have given a noteworthy demonstration of scientific conservation of natural resources that has resulted in a saving of 150,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas daily in Oklahoma. This gas is estimated as worth $37,500, or $13,000,000 a year. The two employees of the bureau of mines who are credited with having accomplished this result are A. J. Pollard of Bakersfield, Cal., and A. G. Heggen of Pittsburgh. They are regularly attached to the bureau as oil experts. They were sent to Oklahoma by Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, director of the bureau. It was estimated at the time Pollard and Heggen entered the Oklahoma field that every day 250,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas, worth $62,500, was being wasted. That meant a loss of $23,000,000 a year. Operators and drillers were skeptical of the assertion of the two experts that they could prevent waste by a certain system of drilling, but, according to Mr. Manning, they have reached the conclusion that the experts were right and are making preparations to stop the waste. "CONSCIENCE FUND" SLUMP. Receipts For Fiscal Year Only $2,814, Lowest Since 1901. Washington. — Uncle Sam's "conscience fund" received in the twelve months ended June 30 last only $2,814.44, the lowest amount for any one year since 1901 and comparable with a hundred year average of $4,200. In the last 100 years the government has received conscience contributions aggregating $434,615.60. The fund was established in President Madison's administration in 1811, when the first contribution of $5 was received. The largest amount ever received in one year was $35,363.11, and the smallest individual contribution, $18,693.66, was made to the collector of customs in New York more than a decade ago by an unknown. ADOPTS 300 CHILDREN. Charles Page Equips Eighty Acre Tract as Free Playground. Tulsa, Okla. — Every poor child in Tulsa is singing the praises of Charles Page, a local millionaire, through whose generosity they are privileged to enjoy a daily outing during the hot months of summer and who has adopted 300 children and hopes to increase the number to 1,000. Likewise many a tired, overworked mother is happy in this heated season, for she knows her little ones will have the fresh air and recreation they need to keep them healthy and contented and that she will be able to have her hours of rest every day. Near the village of Sand Springs, a suburb of Tulsa, which was recently established by Mr. Puge, he owns a tract of 6,000 acres. He has converted eighty acres of forest into one of the most complete parks in the United States. In the equipment of the park particular attention has been paid to the playground for the children. BLIND 50 YEARS, NOW SEES. Stricken When Sixteen, Woman Rogaine Sight—See Her Children Hillstale, Mich.—One of the humblest homes here was made the happiest in the whole country when Mrs. Mary J. Welsh, who has been blind for fifty years, recovered her sight. When she was a girl of sixteen her eyes failed until she became entirely blind. In that condition she married and is the mother of eight children whom she never saw until the other day. To make her burden doubly hard her husband became ill and she was forced to take in washing to support the family. Several operations were tried and were unsuccessful. The sons, now grown up, took the mother to Chicago, where she was taken to a hospital for treatment. Surgeons examined her and found she was suffering from a double cataract. TROUT EATS FROM HAND. Sunbeam, Pet of the Hatchery, Is Fond of Being Stroked. Estes Park, Colo.—"Sunbeam," the pet speckled trout in the fish hatchery at Estes Park, has just recovered from an indisposition caused by stomach trouble or rheumatism and is again able to take his place as the only pet trout in captivity. The fish, now a three-year-old and about eleven inches long, is as good an example of gentle and loving trouthood as it is possible to find. Fed from the hand from the time he was hatched, he feels insulted now unless his food is given to him in that way. He is very fond of being stroked and petted and will swim around and rub himself against a person's hand whenever a chance is given him. HEN IS NURSING SORROW. She's Pheasants' Foster Mother, Not Knowing What They'll Do. Pittman, N. J.—A brood of English pheasant fledglings is thriving in the barnyard of Harry Landers, between this place and Richwood, with a hen for their foster mother. She had been on the eggs only a day when the strange looking chicks popped out. That broke all her hatching records. Landers found the nest of eggs in his grainfield a few days ago. He was startled by a flutter of wings as the whirring knives of his machine passed over the hidden nest. The frightened mother pheasant flew to the cover of a wood. She did not return, and Landers determined a more commonplace bird should take her place. OFFERS BODY FOR SALE. Convict Feare Family Will Claim It After Death Comes. Savannah, Ga.—Hatred of his family, prompted Thomas A. McColough, a convict on the Monroe county chain gang, to advertise his body for sale to the highest bidder. His advertisement reads: For Sale.—To the highest bidder for cash. I offer my body, which is six feet high, weight 175 pounds, is large frame, well proportioned, forty years of age and Caucasian race. I have a sentence of eighteen years for killing a negro in Griffin in 1811 and have no prospects, no hopes and no friends; hence, being in bad health, I am asking this proposition. Any one wishing to consummate a trade address Thomas A. McColough, box 271, care Monroe county convict cage. Self sworn never again to have anything to do with his relatives, he is now in mortal fear that his body after death will be turned over to them for burial. This fear has been increased by the physician's statement that he is suffering from heart disease and has not long to live. The money which his body would inherit could be used to pay for his viet. His one real desire is that death shall not stop the breach between himself and his family. It Always Helps says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of O writing of her experience with C tonic.
