"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.

Will the young of our race heed the clarion call? Last week the Pioneer Press had to call Mulhall a traitor, liar &c and this week all the big men have done so too. Where is our good "friend" Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President of these United States, now that the good Democrats at Washington are making life so miserable for Negroes? When will young Negroes, both boys and girls, come to a realization that there is more in life than beer and whiskey drinking, the dance ball, and various other senseless and degrading occupations? The experts and other authorities who have constituted themselves the official investigators, can say what they want about this, that or the other kind of training, but there is no kind that can in any way approach the proper kind of home training. The fellow who labors early and late, is laying up treasures for himself. The other one, that individual who don't mind turning over in bed and remaining there long after the sun has risen in the East—well, we won't have anything to say about him. Postmaster General Burleson is quoted as saying that no Negro need apply under the Wilson administration for a position above that of the grade of a janitor. At the time we heard what Hon. Burleson said, we placed little credence in the report but in view of the recent treatment meted out to the Negro by the Hon. Woodrow Wilson and his party, we guess General Burleson knew what he was talking about. The bulldog does little or no whining, yapping, snapping, or barking and, as a rule passes the common curs unnoticed, and the public have little if anything brutal to inflict on him. Why? Because and only because he is a bulldog—a dying, biting, fighter for what he believes to be his rights. In some respects the Jews remind us of the bulldog; the Indian in all respects, while the Negro calls to mind the cowardly cur that is on the run from stone and brutality. Dead bulldog or a living cur—which? To ask timely for the rights of an American citizen, brings as a rule, neglective replies. To demand them with a square, undaunted look in the face of the arrogant, turns rusty oggs within their think tanks, and 6 out of a dozen brings good results. No spot on God's green and ungreen earth, where ten million hum an beings live, can be found as much cowardice as exists in America among the ten million Negroes. Begging would never have broken the fetters from four millions of slavery. It took shot and shell to do that, and we agree with the great American statesman and constitutional lawyer, Hon. Albert E. Pititbury, that the same must be again need to accomplish what God in need Lincoln to start. It is follows to duplicate that the enclosed white slavery cases in connection with the presence of the soldiers at Winchester, were magnified to a great degree. When we first read the account, we accepted it with a grain of salt, and in view of some later developments, it readily occu- to us that some pretty tall imagining has been done in connection with this reputed trafficking in females in and around Winchester. While the small fry in tinshops and elsewhere sent themselves on upturned stove pipes, broken stools and boxes, spitting their dirty tobacco and amber over half clean flooring, flinging to and fro, cheap case words befouled by cheap vulgarity—topping the whole thing off by cursing Col. Roosevelt; and old as he is he's mastering in thousands of cowboys, and stands willing and ready to cross the line and crush the foe. We would naturally not have any particular love for Hon. Albert Burleson, Postmaster General of the United States, but we must say, in all exodor, and in justice to the Texas, that he is certainly endexoving to administer the affairs of the Post Office Department in a manner that shows he understands how to run a big business concern. May his efforts along that line continue until Uncle Sam has the best postal system in the world. If Negroes are not responsible for all the bad treatment they get, show me why. The more they are jimcrowed the better they seem to like it, and our proof is their prolific patronage—for example—Martinsburg has about gone to the last ditch on the jimcrow line, and the Negroes took it so well, that a "nigger door and gangway" have been made for their ingress. But that is not the worst—upstairs they must go, but up there they are forced to sit over in a separate corner, and believe us, they spend more money and giggle and show their teeth to a greater extent than any other class in Martinsburg. The whole thing—jimcrowism, and its patronage is dirty and low, and the warm place will be full of jim crow advocates and the cowardly blacks who go to such. Several newspapers have printed land tales of disorder on the part of the Negro troopers of the Teenth Cavalry in Winchester, and doubtless they would have prejudiced the whole country in and around Winchester against these brave defenders of their country had not the police authorities and others in Winchester come to the rescue of the colored soldiers and said that they were a well behaved set of men and had been guilty of no disorder whatever. It is just such vigorous denials as the one sent out by Winchester that are needed to curb the avidity of the newspaper lier, and we thank our Frederick County neighbors for their love of truth and honesty, even though the objects of their attention be poor, but faithful Negro soldiers. The attempt to tarnish the character of Governor William Sulzer, of New York, will fall flat. It should meet with no other fate, because it was conceived in iniquity and born in alm. It was nothing more than an attempt on the part of his enemies, who, rushed in their attempts to boss him as Governor of the great State of New York, sought to discredit him in the eyes of the world as a man and a gentleman. Now that the bosses have done their utmost in casting their wicked darts of venom against Mr. Sulzer's impregnable armor of character, they find that their efforts have done harm rather than good. As to the girl whom they requisitioned in their ufearious work—well, the only thing that we can say of her is, that she is rather deserving of pity than of condemnation. Attorney General McReynolds, although a Tennesseean, and a Democrat, holds out a ray of hope to our people, in, that he says the Negroes need not give up hope, because of the loss of the end brought by Mrs. Butts, of Boston, against the Merchants and Miners Transportation Company. This learned lawyer, and head of the Government's legal department, avers that the Negroes still have redresses through suits filed in the courts in accordance with the provisions of the constitution of the United States. It may be wise to take the case from Mr. McReynolds, and in future, the suits in accordance with the law as interpreted by him. The old before the war debt of Virginia, having been made to help make slave labor more beneficial, was, we claim, shot to death, along with slavery. Had slavery not been in existence, the money would never have been borrowed. If none of it was used in this section, why make us pay for using it? It was spent east and south of us, and the old state should be made to pay England the whole debt. The theory that is claimed to meet the approval of our people, that Jefferson, Berkeley, Morgan, Hampshire and Hardy counties be taken for the debt, is absurd in the extreme. The wish may be father to the thought, but it will never materialize. We congratulate our friend, Dr. B. H. Stillyard, of Wheeling, on being the first Negro to occupy a seat in the Wheeling City Council. This is an honor worth wearing, and the years of experience had by the genial doctor in business and other affairs, makes him peculiarly well fitted for the position which his constituents have entrusted him with. Without any doubt, Doctor Stillyard, the opportunity is yours to change the status of the Negro in West Virginia's first city, and we hope, sir, that you will appreciate the full significance of your responsibilities, thereby showing your friends and well wishers that they reposed confidence in a man who will always be found safeguarding the interests of the people, and particularly your people under any and all circumstances. If the gentleman to whom reference is made above, does along the lines suggested, the Negroes of Wheeling should see that he is returned to the City Council again and again, because each subsequent time that he is so honored, his political prestige will increase, and our race's interests be better protected than if we had no voice in Wheeling's Council. By way of comparison, we will take the case of Hon. Harry S. Cummings, Councilmanic representative of the Negroes in Baltimore, whose power now after his long membership from the Eighteenth Ward, is one hundred fold greater than when he was first elected. AN ORIGINAL SHORT STORY FOR BOYS. Continued from first page. Lermonte, who was prominent in church and society affairs and engaged him to look after the distribution of this latter, directing him to see that every pastor of a colored church in that city, and in other cities in the state and in the adjoining state, Miss., got one. Here he said is $50 for expenses if our efforts are successful (and I hope they will be) I will pay you $150. for your trouble. If we fail you shall have $50 for your time and labor. Mr. Lermonte did not want to take this money, but the purser insisted and there was nothing left for him to do but to accept it. Our Ship sails at 10:30 tomorrow, Mr. / Lermonte said, the purser, and we hope to be in Liverpool within ten days if we have good weather. If you have anything to communicate by that time please write me at this address, handing him a card bearing the name and address of the ship's agents in Liverpool. Observing that Mr. Lermonte was a smoker, the purser took from his cigar case three or four big Havana cigars, and placed them in his hand, saying you will find lots of comfort in these Mr. Lermonte. Thank you sir said the colored man, you are very kind and liberal. The next day a little after 10.30 the good ship Heron lifted anchor, and steamed away with our little hero Phillip on board bound for Merrie England. The transformation he had undergone made him look like another boy. His neat fitting blue suit, jaunty cap, and polished shoes made quite a considerable difference in his appearance. He was an ideal Cabin boy, did his work thoroughly and cheerfully, singing, as he worked, the quaint Melodies he had learned from his fellow slaves on the plantation of his master in Gretna. His cheerfulness, uniform courtesy, obliquing manners and his droll and amusing speech soon won for him the good will of the captain, crew and the dozen or two passengers the Heron was taking back to England, all of whom save one, were Britishers returning to England. Phillip had not been out to sea three days before he had three whole dollars in silver coins in the right hand pocket of his new trousers, given to him by the ship's officers, and passengers for whom he had done little favors, they really liked him—liked to hear his southern talk, and to listen to his quaint stories of life as he had seen it on the old plantation. On account of a severe storm which rode the waves like a bird and upset Phillip's meals so often that he almost became a physical wreck, he was emaciated, frightened and hungry for something to eat not contained on the ship's bill of fare. Two or three days before the ship landed at the Liverpool docks, the weather in the meantime having calmed he was able to resume his place at table and do full justice to the good things set before him, and was soon back to normal, with a coming appetite. After the ship had docked and all her passengers discharged, the old Captain, who was taking a month's leave to visit his family in London, took Phillip along with him. Arriving in London early the next morning, having left Liverpool on a midnight train, Phillip's eyes bulged at the wonderful sights he saw from the window of the cab in which the Captain and he eat. The great throngs of people more than he had ever seen before—Eset Indians in their queer costumes, Native Africans in flowing robes Japs, Greeks, Turks and a motley throng of white men, women and children in the parks, some of them stretched out on the grass, others occupying the banchee scanning the morning papers, others standing idly by looking into space and smoking Briar pipe, attracted his attention. The cab drove along the Thames Embankment past the Parliament House, which the Captain told him was where the laws of England are made. Passing from thence, they were driven to Trafalgar Square, where the Monument to Lord Nelson etanche; thence to St. Paul's Cathedral, and thence to London Bridge. The Captain had directed the Cabby to drive slowly so that his little black friend might see some of the more important places in the greatest Metropolis in the world. After driving about the great city for almost an hour and a half the Captain directed the Cabby in drive to an address which he gave him, in the fashionable Grosvenor Square. Arrived there in due course, the two passengers aligned in front of a handmade house with a nicely gen flower garden, big bay windows and all the appurtenances belonging to the residence of a person of quality. This is our home Phillip, said the captain. This is where I live when I am not roaming the sea. Phillip locked a little confined on being addressed so familiarly and kindly, but he smiled and said Yassir. The Captain dismissed his obby, and giving him an extra Crown, thanked him and said to Phillip we will now go in my bed. J.R. CLIFFORD. ATTORNEY AT LAW.

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.

The "Fiftieth Anniversary Edition" of the Negro Year Book was put on sale on or about July 15th. An attempt has been made to make this edition of the book a miniature encyclopedia of the Negro race. The author, Monroe N. Work, who has charge of Records and Research at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, has enlarged, revised, indexed and brought all the facts about the Negro in America down to date. Every name, fact, or event, which anyone interested in the progress of the race needs to know, will almost certainly be recorded or referred to in this book. A new and complete index makes all these facts which were formerly sometimes lost sight of under chapter headings, easily accessible. An enlarged and carefully classified list of articles and publications on the Negro furnishes the reader with references to any phase of Negro life or the Negro problem. If there is anything about the Negro which you want to know and do not find recorded in this book, write to the editor, enclosing a stamped envelope, and he will either tell you what it is or indicate where the information may be found.

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.
