Richmond Planet

THE RICHMOND PLANET A LESSON FROM NATURE. Did you ever see a sparrow feeding on a crumb, As it hopped with chirping gladness gearing naught to come? Saw it glare on eye to heaven whence come all that's good. And when the feast had been part- taken, fly off to the wood? Did you ever seek the shadow of a shady glen, Through which coursed a rippling brooklet far from haunts of men; Saw these birds which came to water and to bathe and feed. Heard their songs and watched their capers, telling nought of need? Then you've learned a goodly lesson— how in God to trust, Leaving things you cannot fathom— things which seem unjust. To His guidance and His option, while you pass along. In the course of your adoption, tell- ing some sweet song. Mr. Royall Makes Application for a Writ of Mandamus. Hon. Wm. L.

Given under my hand this 20th day of June, 1900. Gzo. Hooper, Jr., N. P. Bret Harte's, Condensed Novels. Years ago Bret Harte wrote a series of stories which he called "condensed novels"—humorous tales, in which he burlesques the style, mannerisms and peculiarities of the authors of the day. Mr. Harte has just completed, for The Saturday Evening Post, a new series of these inimitably funny literary caricatures. Admirers of Gonan Doyle should read the adventures of Hemlock Jones in his quest of the Stolen Owl. Those who are fond of Mr. Kipling will fill measure in stories Three; tales of Moo Kow, the Cow; Puekat, the warmth-loving one; the adventures of Blearweed, otherwise and Mulledwine. In Rudolph, the Resembler, the astuted reader, will find a new version of Authony Hope's most popular story, and will understand how much more complicated it might have been had there been three kings instead of only two. The first of these "condensed novels" The Jungle Folk will appear in The Saturday Evening Post of June 80. Dr. Jones' Hospital. The Woman's Central League Training and Industrial School Building was thrown open to the publis on Tuesday afternoon from 4 to 11 p. m., and a steady throng of visitors in attendance. The location is at 412-14 N Third St. The hospital department will som pare favorably with any thing of the kind in the United States. The rooms have been thoroughly cleaned, painted and the floors oiled. Iron beds single and double were in each of them and also nurses attired in the regulation costume. Hot and sold water fixtures have been added. The operating room was the centre of interest. while the cooking department, where chicken salad, coffees and chocolate were served came in and was a favorable comment. In connection this is a store where the product of the industrial department is sold. Dr. R. E. Jones has been the moving spirit in this enterprise, assisted by a corp of enterprising ladies. Much credit is due for the persistency shown in this work, and the citizens have responded liberally to the appeals. The building was purchased at a cost of $6000 and help is needed to the extent of $5000 to meet the present requirements. Prof. Smallwood and Mrs. Peterson Honored. The beautiful parlors at the home of Mr. W. P.

This community was greatly shocked on Saturday week to learn of the almost sudden demise of Mr. Thomas W. Mitchell. But few persons had learned of his being sick. Mr. Mitchell was greatly loved and highly respected by the people of this section, where he lived for sometime shortly after he was married. We shall miss "Tom" Mitchell for his many lovable traits of character, for his whole soul genial, friendly, frank manliness. He was one of the best judges of human nature for a young man we ever met. A thorough business man, prompt and pleasant with all. A host of admiring friends from this section attended the funeral at the First Baptist Church, and many followed the remains to its last resting place. Let there be a neat shaft raised to the memory of that noble soul, Thomas W. Mitchell, 255, a piece from each friend will be sufficient. We suggest that a meeting of friends be held and the Thomas W.

The Board of Supervisors of Tuckahoe District, Henrico county, has passed an order prohibiting the people in the Harvey Town section from raising hogs. This measure will work quite a hardship on good many of our color d citizens as many of them make their living by raising pigs and hogs. No doubt the intention of the board may be good from a sanitary point, but gerater good could be accomplished if the people are allowed to raised their hogs under very strict sanitary rules. The community will be far more grateful to the board if they will give some attention to the stagnant waters of water on Jacqueline, between Washington and Carter St., and other low pointes in that section, which is far less conducive to health then raising hogs. Doubtless the people will be on the alert. Most excellent communion services took place at River View Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon. Rev. George E.

MADAM OF THE IVIES. BY ELIZABETH PHIPPS TRAIN It was just ten years ago to night since the occurrence of the tragic event with which my last chapter closed. I am writing these last links in that very morning room which became hallowed to my husband and myself by the patiently-endured suffering and convalescence of our dear mother. For Madam recovered from her injury, to our infinite joy, and as that period of illness served to knit closely together the hearts of parent and child. I think my dear lady grew almost to consider poor Alice as a benefactor, rather than a false and treacherous enemy. But a sad interval of dreary days and wakeful nights intervened before our anxious hearts dared hope that our watching was to be rewarded according to our desires. That interval brought Darracott and me into close communion, and I learnt to know and appreciate those traits of character in him which Madam had so highly commended. Alice Mayberry, or Alice Chester, as I should properly call her (though it has never been easy for me to think of a woman so entirely his inferior as Darracott's wife), was buried with great privacy. By her grave stood but three persons besides the customary officials: Mrs. Spencer—good, kindly soul, who had lost sight of all resentment in her abundant pity and sympathy—Darracott, and Dayd Spencer. I was obliged to remain in attendance upon Madam, whose precarious situation did not admit of my leaving her, and Mrs. Mayberry had mysteriously disappeared from the Ivies upon the very night of her daughter's death. If, in this terrific approbative frame of mind, Darracott was capable of experiencing any feeling of gratification, I think that the relief afforded by the assurance that he would not be obleged again to encounter the housekeeper was the source of such emotion. Whither Mrs. Mayberry went, or in what fashion, what her fate has been, or where she now is, we have never learnt. I alone, I think, of all who dwelt within The Ivies, felt real sympathy and sorrow for the poor creature. Her moral weakness was like a physical deformity in my eyes and I could not but feel it an extinning circumstance in her wretched system of dealing and plitful treachery toward hergress whom she adored even while she esteemed and betrayed her. Therefore it was that begged to be allowed to inform her of the double tragedy which had taken place within our beautiful old hall, instead of letting her hear of it through the medium of servants who felt for her only an intolerable aversion. It was a sad, a miserably distasteful mission I had undertaken to perform—worse even in fulfillment than in anticipation, and that is saying much. I sought Mrs. Mayberry first in her own room, and then in Alice's apartment, but she had discovered her daughter's absence and was herself engaged in a search. I was hurrying down the stairs, impatient at the delay, for Dr. Spencer was awaiting my assistance and I was eager to return to the morning-room, when I met Franklin, who seemed to have aged ten years since morning. "Do you know where Mrs. Mayberry is?" I asked in a hushed voice, for the presence of Death brooded over the place. The old man's face took on a look of savage hatred. He made a gesture in the direction of the terrace. "Roaming about outside," he replied succinctly. "She's crazy-like herself." A certain satisfaction in his expression suggested to me a wretched foreboding. "Oh, Franklin!" I cried, "you have not told her?" He nodded grimly. "Indeed I have" he returned drily. "Few pleasures come in my way, nowadays." He chuckled vindictively. I cast one look upon him filled with withering contempt and scorn, and hastened on. He had not overshot the mark in describing Mayberry's condition as "crazy-like." She scarcely recognized me as I came up with her, and I had actually to lay hands on her in order to gain her attention. She was almost running up and down the broad gravel sweep, wringing her hands, tossing her head, muttering and crying herself, calling out fierce, deniatory epithets and broken sentences; appealing now to the forgiveness of God for the result of her own misdeeds, which she wholly attributed to others, and again, reviling the memory of the poor misguided girl whose spirit had gone forth to meet its Judge. When I succeeded in arresting her steps, I actually shrank from the wretched spectacle she presented. It was difficult to show tender regard for so wild an object. But I did my best. "Mrs. Mayberry." I began gently, "you know Alice is dead?" Her eyes roared. Her eyes roamed restlessly about, but she nodded. "Yes," she said. "A good thing! She has cheated the hangman." I shuddered and drew away. What nature had the woman? Yet I had pity for the terrible retribution that had overtaken her. "Hush!" I said. "How can you speak thus of your own child?" "She would have killed Madam," she returned sullenly. "It is not so," I answered, glad to be able to say something in the dead girl's favor. "She had no thought of harming Madam." For the first time the wandering gaze fixed itself steadily on mine. A dawning hope enkindled the working features. "What?—what?" she stammered uncertainly, as if she had not heard aright. "It was not Madam whom she attacked," I replied quietly, "but her son." The woman's face became positively radiant. "Oh!" she burst forth wildly, "is this true? Say—is it, is it?" I related the details of the scene to her, and gained such regard as I might have expected from one of her small and despicable combre. Her face glowed with satisfaction, and she GHT. 1898. BY THE AUTHOR cast a sly, insinuating look upon me as I concluded. "Ah! she had method in her madness," after all, my poor Alice!" she croaked, those tones which, always horrible to me, were doubly so now by reason of the latter exultation they manifested. "I can forgive her if she did not aim at Madam. He excusable for a jealous wife to attack her husband when she sees him paying court elsewhere." There was no mistaking the meaning of her glance or the point of her remark. Both were tipped with venom and plainly directed at me. My sympathy congealed into cold contempt. I withdrew the reassuring hand I had placed on her shoulder. "You are a magligant and worthless woman!" I said with freezing dignity, turning to leave her. "You are beneath the consideration of even the most kindly disposed. I came here to comfort you as well as I might, but you have turned my regard for your trouble into disgust for your character. I will leave you. Your daughter still lies in the hall. If you have any natural humanity in you, I would advise your paying some attention to her removal; else it may fall to the lot of unfriendly servants to look after it." With this I left her and re-entered the house. I never have seen her since. It was a great comfort to me, and to Darracott also, to avail ourselves of good Mrs. Spencer's offer to become a temporary resident at The Ivien. My position, with Madam hors de combat through illness, and with possible conjecture and suspicions rife among the servants, such as I should never have dreamt of but for Mrs. Mayberry's malicious speech, was somewhat awkward and uncomfortable. I felt greatly relieved to have another and an older woman at the head of the household as matron of the establishment. I had abstracted from Madam's fingers the little packet which Alice had given her, and held it for its owner's reception when she should be sufficiently recovered to bear the emotion which I knew the sight of it must arouse. It was evidently a letter from her son, folded into small compass and tied about with narrow black ribbon—a legacy which should have been long ago delivered into her possession. Notwithstanding the very great anxiety by which I was oppressed during my dear lady's illness, I think that period was far the happiest of my life. In the first place, there is no privilege so dear to a true woman as that of ministering to others, of feeling herself of vital consequence to the welfare of someone dear to her. Then, I was an object of the most watchful care of two men, one of whom was dear to me as a kind and devoted friend, while for the other I was daily growing more and more conscious of a deep and increasing love. Oh those long, delicious hours spent with Darracott by the bedside of one whom we both adored! And the delightful strolls up and down the terrace when, our patient sleeping, Mrs. Spencer insisted upon assuming our post that we might gain the mucuneed refreshment of the outer air! There was no chapter in the man's life but was revealed to me during that interval. Freely, but with no egotism, he made me acquainted with all his past, until I came to know him intimately as I believe every woman should know the man she marries. So here some pages not quite so admirable as others; some places with showed influences at work in the writer's mind; some scenes where passion and ability against an untoward fate threatened to circumvent the firmness and uprightness of a noble and honorable soul; but these only endeared their hero more warmly to me. I loved him, not for his virtues alone, but for his weakness also. He spoke to me freely of the passionate sufferings of his boyhood, when, for no fault of his own, he had been deprived of the one blessing which seemed to him of all others most to be desired. The loss of his mother's love was an injury to which he had never become reconciled. "It was not merely the fact that she had no affection to bestow upon me that wounded and tortured me," he said, "but the additional circumstance of witnessing her lavish demonstrativeness towards Gerald. And when that day arrived upon which her darling and idol committed against me, beneath my very roof, the vilest act of treachery which one man can commit against another, even then it was for him and his sin that her heart bled, although her sense of justice inclined to espouse my injuries." "But she loves you now--she does, she does," was my constantly retterated rejoinder; at which he would smile incredulously and shake his head. One day, to this oft-repeated response of mine he returned a reply that aroused fresh suspicions of Mrs. Mayberry in my mind. "If she loved me, really loved me with genuine and not perfunctory affection," he said, "would she have constantly besought me in her letters not to return, to remain away from my home, to absent myself from her society until she should be better able to bear the companionship of one so closely associated with her grief and loss?" Then it was that a light dawned upon me. "Did you know that Mrs. Mayberry wrote those letters?" I asked. "Might it not be that she expressed sentiments of her own, which were entire strangers to her mistress's breast?" He looked surprised. "Mayberry!" he exclaimed, "Oh, no; they were in my mother's handwriting." "Or in an excellent imitation of it." I returned; and then for the first time I made him aware of the fact that Madam had employed her housekeeper as amanuensis, that she might keep from him the knowledge of her affliction. From the look that came into his face as I threw this strong doubt upon that conclusion which he had formed concerning his mother's wish to keep him at a distance I imagined THE RICHMOND PLANET RICHMOND VIRGINIA that this last act of greachery of Mayberry's—as I could not but believe it, and as I afterwards proved it to be—had been the thorn that raikled sorest in that sadly-mulsprized filial affection of his. He seemed much brighter, in far gayer spirit, after my suggestion had taken effect. A few days after this, late one afternoon, I was sitting by Madam's bedside. Darracott was also in the room, but at a distance, sitting by a window reading. Madam had recovered consciousness and was aware of her condition and surroundings, but Dr. Spencer had forbidden conformation or exertion of any sort, for she was very weak from loss of blood. She lay with her eyes wide open, gazing steadfastly before her, but seeing nothing. Presently she spoke. "Who is with me?—you, little Dorothy?" "Yes, dear Madam." A brief silence. Then — "No harm come to him—to my child, Dorothy?" I quivered at the appellation which I had felt reserved exclusively for another, and I could hear a deep breath drawn over there by the window. "No harm, dear Madam." I said. "Thank God! O my God, I do thank Thee!" There was another pause; and then I was possessed by an impulse to do something which would have disqualified me for ever as a nurse in Dr. Spencer's sight. I rose, and approaching her closely, knelt down and took her hand in mine. Then to her I put a question that brought about results which were a better panacea for her ills than were all the doctor's modicaments. "And if he had been injured, dear Madam," I suggested, "what then? It is only Darracott, you know—not Gerald. Surely I was a bold and venturesome maiden. My dear lady threw my hand from her with some violence. "Only Darracott! Only Darracott!" she exclaimed. "Only the son who has never from the moment of his birth given me one moment's anxiety! Only the son who, child and man, has studied, an considered my comfort and wishes in every respect! Only my first-born, whose love and devotion I never prized until the began to slip away from my careless possession! Only Darracott the child and darling of my old age, for whose happiness and well-being I would gladly down my life! Oh, Dorothy, how little you imagine when you say 'only Darracott' that it is in very truth 'only Darracott' who fills every nook and corner of my heart! The desperate longing and regret in her voice would have touched the most callous breast. I heard a movement behind me, and knew that Darracott had risen impulsively at her words. Turning, I raised my hand to stay his advance, for I divined what effect her words had produced upon him, and felt that not yet was the time fully ripe for a reconciliation. The calmness of her love for him made her beyond the possibility of a doubt, so that the future, reaction from his present mood might not be permitted to breed suspicion in his mind. I rose from my kneeling posture and stood beside the bed, still holding Madam's white shrunken hand within my own. "Dear Madam," I said, a little tremulously, for this was indeed a great, perhaps an unwarrantable, responsibility I was taking upon myself, "do you remember a little package that Alice gave you that sad afternoon?" She nodded her head in assent. "You remember she said it was from your son Gerald?" Another Another assenting motion. "It is, I think, a letter. What if it bids you desert the man who remains to you, and adopt in his place, as daughter, the afflicted girl whom your dead son loved?" Madam had no knowledge of Alice's death and this was indeed a crucial test I was subjecting her recently vaunted love to, a choice between the "child and darling of her old age" the dying request of the idol of a lifetime. But not an instant did she hesitate in her answer. She withdrew her hand from my grasp, and clasping it in its fellow, raised both as if in supplication, while a bright and beautiful light dawned upon her pallid countenance, giving it a heavenly radiance of expression. "Oh, if indeed God would afford me such an opportunity for atonement!" she cried softly. "Oh, to be allowed a chance for even so slight a compensation!" "Then you would still cleave to Darracott?" She hesitated a moment before reply. Then, in a slow and solemn tone, in lingering, measured accents, she said: "If there could be choice given me to day, not between my son Dararocott and the woman who blighted his life, but between him and the brother who assisted in that ruth, I would choose not the son whom I idolized until he became a villain, but my beloved child whom I neglected until I discovered that my heart was breaking for want of the love I had so long disregarded." The man behind me was striding impetuously forward. I hurriedly asked another question before his presence should thrust mine aside. "And this tardy justice is not simply the result of awakened conscience, Madam?" My utterance was almost breathless in his histe. My dear lady gave a sharp, quick cry, that was almost a sob. "Oh, no! Oh, no—no!" she returned. "The result of awakened love, Droothy! O Father in Heaven, restore to me the heart of my boy!" I turned then, and sped from the room. I had no longer a right there. In the hall I met Dr. Spencer, and to him I made full confession of my guilt. I was obliged to acknowledge it, for the tears were streaming down my face, and he was inquisitive concerning their cause. He looked grave and shook his head, but I remained obstinate in approval of my conduct. "Even if she should die from the effects of what you call my imprudence," I retorted, "the brief joy of reunion with her son is worth twenty years of continued estrangement and suffering." But she did not die. From that tour she mended, having a cause to induce her recovery, and Dr. Spencer as always generously acknowledged that I was the physician to restore her to health. That evening Darracott and I took our stroll on the terrace after dinner. He seemed much preoccupied, and was but a dull companion. Finally he said: "We have been doing my brother Gerald an injustice all this time." I glanced up at him inquiringly. His face looked tired and white, but it wore an expression of peace which was new to it. "I opened his letter this afternoon and read it to my mother, by her wish. It seems that he and—the woman did not leave here together, as we had always supposed. He fled in order to preserve his honor, being aware of the temptation her society exposed him to; and she followed him without his knowledge, discovered his asylum and insisted upon wearing it. I am glad that I can think more fondly of him, and I am also thankful that my mother's memories of him will be less painful." No one could doubt the sincerity of his words. To his noble nature it was, I knew, a matter of profound thanksgiving that the brother who had been so deeply indebted to him had proved less unworthy his benefactions. My heart grew warm within me at this new evidence of his magnanimity. Truly, he was a worthy son even of Madam as I had first conceived her—fawless, impeccable, above suspicion or reproach. Again silence fell between us. We were both busy with our own thoughts. Suddenly he put a question to me so abruptly that it almost rendered me speechless. "How do you feel about widowers, Dorothy?" he asked. My heart gave a quick leap, and then I controlled its impetuosity and answered flippantly with a counterquestion. "HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT WIDOWERS, DOROTHY?" "Genus or individuals?" "Oh, genus!" he replied, with a quiz-like look in his grey eyes. "I don't tancy them," I returned, as coolly as he. "Why not?" "They are apt to dwell too wearl-somely upon the virtues of the departed." "But if the departed were without virtue?" "It is a quality easily manufactured after death," I replied. "But if the widower under discussion be without imagination sufficient for the undertaking?" he continued; and by that time he had taken both my hands into his, and I felt there was immlent danger of my whole body being likewise taken possession of. I trembled, but met his sallies bravely. I was proud of the evenness of my voice. "You forget," I said. "We were engaged in generalities. With individuals—" I paused, and confess I broke down. Who could have gone on calmly, folded close to a man's heart, with its heavy throbs dinnung into the ears and deafening the understanding? "With individuals it is quite different, my darling, is it not? Of one individual you may make the exception which proves the rule that I hope you will never break in my lifetime. Dorothy, I am a brave man to again trust a woman after my experience. But I do trust one, my beloved; trust her as I have never before believed in anyone; love her with a love beyond that I have given my mother; and desire her -oh, my dearest! desire her as a man but once in the course of his whole existence desires a woman, passionate reverence for her perfect womanhood, with answering faith in her virtues with unutterable longing for her lifelong and intimate companionship. Dorothy. Dorothy—how is it to be with me now that crisis? Is the one woman whom I so covet going to forgive my widowhood and make amends to me for a wretched past? Say, dear one, is she?" You know what I answered. I have already told you that I became Darracott's wife. Few marriages, I believe, are as truly such as ours. As yet no cloud, save the passing away five years ago of our dear mother, has ever rested upon it. A more united trio than Darracott, Madam and I could not well be imagined. Just before she peacefully yielded up her spirit to God, Madam said to me one day: "My dear daughter Dorothy, when I go back into the past and review bygone events and actions, I can think of no single one in my whole life whose results have been so completely successful and happy as that of the insertion of my advertisement for a companion." And so I, when I in my turn rehearse the various occasions upon which I have obeyed the leading of that infinite impulse which, even now, after it has so splendidly triumphed over the opproblem-cast upon it by the slower judgment of others, my mother continues to distrust—I select as pre-eminent among them that February afternoon when I was urged to turn my bridges, and set forth as applicant for the position of companion to my beloved Madam of The Vies.

Master Hume Gibson Richards Is a Mechanical Prodigy. Although But Four Years of Age He Can Run a Locomotive and Enjoys a Night Ride Over the Western Mountains. Master Hume Gibson Richards is the youngest locomotive driver in the world. Indeed, he is not only a mechanical prodigy, but is as remarkable for his knowledge in other lines. Before he was three years old he astonished the railroad men of the west by his great knowledge of mechanics. He knew every part of the intricate locomotive, could name those parts by their technical terms, and describe their functions with exact precision and readiness. Repeated tests have been made of his singular knowledge of mechanics by experts, and the results have astounded the wise ones. On one occasion Master Richards was taken to the locomotive works of one of the Chicago railroads and he named the various parts of a locomotive before they were put together. Those who witnessed the test were forced to the belief that the youngster could build a locomotive by direction. He has been to the scene of wrecks several times and the points of interest to him were the smashed engines and cars. He would look over the demolished locomotives just as an "old-timer" would, and within the same skill of time give with technical skill a detailed account of the damage sustained by the engine. There are thousands of railroad cars operated in this country and Canada by the various railroads. Master Richards has never failed yet in designating the roads to which these cars belong. He knows by the initials painted thereon. Many is the time he has sat in the cabs of locomotives that pull the fast mails and expresses over the western OILING AROUND THE ENGINE. (One of the Favorite Occupations of Little Hume Richards.) plains and mountainous highlands. To him such experiences have become as commonplace as to the engineers themselves. In fact, he is as much at home in the cab of a locomotive as the man at the throttle or the man who shovels coal in the firebox. Fear has never entered his mind while riding at the greatest speed in the cab of an engine. On some of his trips to and across the Rocky mountains he has fallen asleep alongside the boiler on the fireman's side of the cab. He would slumber soundly while the iron steed whirled around reverse curves, thundered up and down steep grades and through deep-walled cuts and rolled over level plains along those western overland routes. To him nothing is more interesting and absorbing. Master Richards has not reached his fifth year, nor is he even able to read. He is too young to be sent to a kindergarten, his father preferring not to push him into the schoolroom before he is at least seven years old. His first love was a locomotive, and he studied it in his own peculiar way, without forgetting the smallest fact or part. He also took a keen interest in the late American-Spanish war, and has on his tongue's end the name of every battleship, cruiser, torpedo boat and other crafts of importance that took part in that conflict on both sides. Further, he knows every state, territory and island, lake and river of the United States, and can bound many of the states without the aid of a map. It is one of his pleasures and pastimes to take imaginary trips around the world, and in these he rattles off the seas, straits and other bodies of water passed through, as well as the names of the countries skirted, for he is equally conversant with the countries of the world and their inhabitants. He knows more about the causes that led up to the American-Spanish war and the results than many of matured years. In fact, he is full of the Filipino war, Cuban anexation and Porto Rican liberty, and can bound these new possessions of Uncle Sam with readiness. Master Richards, says the Chicago Tribune, was born in Chicago on July 15, 1895. His father moved to Lincoln, Neb. Mrs. Richards died a year ago and Master Richards has since been with his grandfather, Henry A. Richards, formerly of Chicago. A Noted Noble Oaraman. For his years, Sir Charles Dilke is probably as fine an oarsman as could be found. One of Sir Charles' favorite recreations is sculling.

Immediate notice of loss required by a fire insurance policy is construed, in Solomon vs. Continental Fire Insurance company (N. Y.), 46 L. R.

In this case a notice received more than 50 days after the fire was held not to be insufficient as a matter of law. In estimating the damages sustained by the owner of land injured by the exercise of the right of eminent domain, it is held, in Philadelphia Ball Club vs. Philadelphia (Pa.), 46 L. R.

Eugene Burkin, of Chicago, Constructs a Rapid-Fire Machine Gun of Great Power. Eugene Burkin, a colored boy of 19 years, who lives over on Chicago's great West side, is the inventor of a rapid-fire machine gun which he claims is the most effective weapon of its kind in the world, and is destined to throw the invention of Maximand Nordenfeldt, now in general use in the armaments of the world, into the scrap heap. Several experts who have seen the model of Burkin's gun pronounce it a marvel of ingenuity HARD AT WORK. (Eugene Burkin and His Model of a Rapid- Fire Gun.) and a terrible weapon. The boy is said to have refused an offer of $50,000 for his invention through motives of patriotism, he being desirous that the United States government should have the first opportunity to test and purchase the weapon. Burkin is a source of pride to the colored population of Chicago, who are jubilant that one of their race should develop the creative power. The boy has never had any mechanical training, yet all the work on his model has been his own. The first idea of the weapon came to him during the Spanish-American war, when the magnificent work of the American gunners directed his thoughts to guns and their improvement. He constructed his first model of wood, his only tool being a jack-knife. The lack of funds then threatened to put a stop to the young inventor's work, but he finally obtained enough money to go into an iron works on the West side, which gave him the use of its tools and machinery for five dollars a day. Here he constructed the model, which he sent to the patient office at Washington, which has already allowed 17 of his claims on the weapon. Prominent men of the colored race are using their influence to induce the war department at Washington to conduct a series of tests with the gun. It has been christened the "Maine." HON. MARTIN MAGINNES. Appointed Senator from Montana to Fill the Vacancy Left by W. A. Clark's Resignation. Martin Maginnis, who has just been appointed United States senator from Montana to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of W. A. Clark, is well known in Washington, where he served six terms as representative from Montana when that state was a territory. Mr. Maginnis is a journalist of note and a prominent citizen of Helena, Mont., where he has lived ever since the J. M. close of the civil war. While he was yet a child he he went to Minnesota with his parents from his native state of New York. He was so impatient to become an editor that he abandoned his studies in Hamlin college to take charge of a newspaper, but left his editorial chair in turn to enlist in the volunteer infantry in 1861. He proved himself a gallant soldier, for he rose from the rank of private to that of major in three years. He fought in all the battles of the army of the Potomac, from which he was transferred in 1865 to the army of the Cumberland. He is very popular in Montana, and has large mining interests in that state. New Uses for the Camera. The Bank of France has an ingenious arrangement by which suspicious visitors can be photographed without their knowledge.

SATURDAY, JUNE 30 1900 Colored boys and girls, practice good manners. It will pay in the long run. Let us prove ourselves worthy of the elective franchise, even though we are robbed of it. Colored men, we should be frugal and industrious, God-fearing and manly. EVIDENCES are multiplying that our white friends in this country have not lost faith in us. THE trouble in China seems to us to be "a tempest in a tea-pot." It savors very much of our policy in the Hawaiian Islands during the reign of the native queen. PROP. R. R. WRIGHT of Augusta, Ga., announces that he has reti red from politics. He was on the losing side at the National Repubican Convention. He is one of the most brilliant citizens of color in the United States. THE constitutional convention now seems to be a kind of an elephant upon the hands of the Democratic Party. The Richmond Dispatch says that it would be a great mistake to restrict Negro suffrage and adjourn. It declares that retrenchment and reform is needed. Oh, yes, the Negro scare-crow was used to accomplish another purpose, and those prejudice-loving white men who were so deceived will soon be brought around to see it. LARKINS ATKINSON, a white man was brutally whipped by "white caps" at Spring Garden, Pittsburgh Co., Va. Sunday night and forced to leave the neighborhood. It is alleged that letters were found in a house from which he recently moved, of an insulting nature and were addressed to a white lady of that locality. They were shown to her father and it is presumed that he was the leader of the "white caps." Thus it will be seen that ill-treatment of colored folks leads to the punishment of white ones as well. It will be remembered that we directed attention to the case of FRANK BENJAMIN who was charged with attempting to criminally assault two white ladies in the front door of a prominent white citizen. We called attention to the fact that such a proposition was absurd and that no one but a lunatic would attempt such a crime at such a place. BENJAMIN was sentenced to be hanged July 14.h, but Governor TYLER has granted a respite until August 10th. This was done upon the recommendation of Judge BAKER P. LER. Commonwealth's Attorney E. E. MONTAGUE and Drs. SZYLL, AKKINS and ADDITION. A commission of lunacy has been ordered. To hang BENJAMIN would be judicial murder, and the better class of white people have not failed to see it. THE National Baptist Convention will meet in this city in September next and efforts are now being made to entertain them. We feel satisfied that our people who have always been noted for their hospitality will throw wide their doors and do all in their power to make the delegates' stay pleasant. We note that other denominations have become interested and have extended a helping hand. The delegation is large and it is necessary for every one to do their best in order that we may be able to keep up with our old time record, and that our town may retain its position of the queen city of the South. It has been charged that Hon. A. W. HARRIS, delegate from the Fourth Congressional District to the National Republican Convention at Philadelphia was put out of the rooms of the Virginia delegation solely on account of his color, and that Hon. MORGAN TREAT was responsible for it. A "dead" silence has pervaded the members of the delegation since their return to Virginia, and the matter must have been amisably adjusted before leaving the "city of brotherly love." We should like to know whether or not the facts cited are true. What is the matter, Brother HARRIS? Were you put out, knocked out or shut out? THE action of the white men at Augusta, Ga., in forcing Rev. W. J. WHITE, D. D., editor of the Georgia BAPTIST and an ardent cooperationist and "conservative" to make a public retraction because some one in the office published a clipping from the columns of the Washington, D.C., BZX, condemning the lynching of a colored man at Augusta, was a brutal exhibition of outlawry. The mayor and other prominent white friends used their influence to save his life. We were shocked to learn of this outrageous treatment of this Christian man. It is needless to say what we would have advised Rev. Dr. WHITE to do. He is a follower of the lowly Jesus and acted as he puts it, in the interest of his family. We draw the mantle of charity, feeling that when the cowardl$g$ elements in this neighborhood begin that kind of business, some of them with us will hear the bells "a-ringing" for the New Jerusalem.

Je-80-1m THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA MKINLEY $ ^{A_{N}}_{D} $ ROOSEVELT. The Ticket Chosen by the Philadelphia Republican Convention. BOTH UNANIMOUSLY NOMINATED. Ex-Senator Quay Withdrew a Reso- lation Which Would Have Reduced Southern Representation in National Conventions. Philadelphia, June 21.—At 14 minutes past 2 o'clock this afternoon the national Republican convention adjourned site die after having placed in nomination the following ticket: For president, William McKinley of Ohio; for vice president, Theodore Roosevelt of New York. No other names were presented, and the nominations were made unanimously. McKinley received 926 votes, the full number, and Roosevelt received 925, he refusing to allow his own vote as a member of the New York delegation to be counted. The scenes attending the nominations were of the usual wildly enthusiastic order, but the bursts of applause have been longer continued at other national conventions. The first outburst of cheers was when ex-Senator Quay withdrew his resolution proposing a change in the rules which would have reduced southern representation in national conventions. The next outburst was when Senator Lodge, the permanent chairman of the convention, announced that nominations for president were in order. Then Alabama yielded to Ohio, and Senator Foraker made the first speech placing McKinley in nomination, was followed by Governor Roosevelt, of Iowa, for Kerkes of Kentucky, George Knight of California and Governor Mount of Indiana. The first speech for Roosevelt was made by Col. Lafe Young of Iowa. Alabama having yielded to Dolliver's latter Murray of Massachusetts and James Ashton of California followed, and the speaking for Roosevelt was closed by Senator Chauncey M. Depew in a speech brimming over with witty flings at the Democrats. There would have been more speech making, but it was choked off by clamors for the vote. The second day of the convention was something of a disappointment, for the delegates had assembled prepared for a session of enthusiasm accompanying the unanimous renomination of McKinley for president. But the party leaders decided to postpone the nomination for a day, and the only business of the convention was the adoption of the platform without comment and the introduction of a resolution by ex-Senator Quay which would have largely reduced the representation of southern states at national conventions. The real work of the convention on the second day was accomplished after adjournment. This was the decision to nominate Roosevelt, the withdrawal of all other candidates, and the published statement of Chairman Hanna announcing Roosevelt the choice of all sections. THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM Principles of the Party Enunciated at Philadelphia. The Republicans of the United States, through their convention, in national convention, looking back upon an unsurpassed record of achievement and looking forward into a great field of they and opportunity, and appealing to their countrymen, make these declarations. The expectation in which the American people, turning from the Democratic party, entrusted power four years ago to a Republican chief magistrate and a Republican congress, has been met and satated by people who then assembled at the polls, after a Republican legislative and administration, bureau was dead, industry paralysed, and the national credit disastrously impaired. The country's capital was hidden away and its labor distressed and unemployed. The Democrats had no other plan with which they rulenous conditions which they had threatened to impose, a coin silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. The Republican party, denouncing this plan as sure to produce conditions even worse than those from which relief was sought, promised to restore prosperity by means of two legislative measures—a protective law making gold the standard of value. The great majorities issued to the Republican party a commission to enact these laws. This commission has been executed and the Republican promise is redeemed. Prosperity more general and more abundant than we have ever known has followed these enactments. There is no longer controversy as to the status of any government obligations. Every American dollar is a gold dollar or its assured value; every American credit stands higher than that of our national Capital is fully employed and labor everywhere is profitably occupied. No single factor more strikingly tells the story of what Republican government means to the country than this--that while during the whole period of 107 years from 1790 to 1897 there was an excess of exports over imports of only $383,028,497, there has been in the short three years the increase in the Republican administration an excess of $413,587,094 in the enormous sum of $413,587,094. And while the American people, sustained by this Republican legislation, have been achieving the splendid triumphs in their business and commerce, they have conducted and in victory concluded a war for liberty and human rights. No thought of national aggrandizement tarnished the high purpose with American standards were unfurled. It was our war that was resisted, but when it came the American government was ready. Its fleets were cleared for action. Its armies were in the field and the quick and signal trumph of its forces on land and sea bore equal tribute to the courage of American soldiers and sailors and to the skill and foresight of Republican statesman-before-before. The human race there was given "a blight of freedom," and to the American people a new and noble responsibility. The Endorsement of McKinley We endorse the administration of William McKinley. Its acts have been established in wisdom and patriotism, and at home and abroad it has distinctly elevated and extended the influence of the American patriot and the facing unforeseen responsibilities, President McKinley has been in every situation the true American patriot and the upright statesman, clear in vision, strong in judgment, firm in action, always inspiring and deserving the confidence of his countrymen. In asking people to endorse this Republican record and to renew their commission to the Republican party, we remind them of the fact that the menace to their prosperity has always resided in Democratic principles, and no less in the general incapacity of the Democratic party to conduct public affairs. The prime essential of business is the confidence in the good sense of the government's ability to deal intelligently with each new problem of administration and legislation. That confidence the Democratic party has never earned. It is hopelessly inadequate, and the country's prosperity when Democratic success at the polls is anticapitalist hatts and ceases in mere anticipation of Democratic blunders and failures. we renew our allegiance to the principle of the gold standard and declare our confidence in the wisdom of the legislature of the Fifty-sixth congress, by which the state will money and the stability of our currency has been secured. We recognize that interest rates are a potent factor in production and business activity, and for the purpose of further equalizing and the stability of interest, we favor such monetary leasing. We enable the varying needs of the season and of all sections to be promptly met in order that trade may be evenly sustained, labor steadily employed and communicated. The volume of money in circulation was never so great per capita as it is today. We declare our steadfast opposition to the free and unlimited coinage of silver. No measure to that end could be considered which was without the support of the world. However, commercial countries of the world. However, Republican legislation may seem to have some country against the peril of base and discredited currency, the election of a Democratic president could not fall to impair the country's credit and to bring once more into question the intention of the country to maintain upon the gold standard the parity with money circulation. The Democratic party may be convinced that the American people will never tolerate the Chicago platform. Condemnation of Trusts. We recognize the necessity and propriety of the honest operation of capital to meet new business conditions and esienge foreign trade, but we recognize that strict business, to create monopolies, to limit production, or to control prices, and favor such legislation as will effectively restrain and prevent all such abuses, protect and promote competition, and give rights of producers, laborers and all who are engaged in industry and commerce. We renew our faith in the policy of protection to American labor. In that policy our industries have been established, diversified and maintained. By protecting home market competition has been stimulated and production cheapened. Opportunity to the great group of our people has been secured and was given in every department of labor maintained at high rates, higher now than ever before, and always distinguishing our working people in their better condition of life from those of any competing company. Enjoying the blessings of the American labor force is secure in the right of self government in the occupancy of their own markets, their constantly increasing knowledge and skill have enabled them finally to enter the markets of the world. We favor the associated policy or reciprocity, so as to open our markets on favorable terms for what we do not ourselves produce in return for free foreign markets. In the further interest of American workmen, we favor a more effective restriction of the immigration of cheap labor from foreign lands, the extension of municipalities of education for working children and the limitation limit for child labor, the protection of labor as against contract convict labor and an effective system of labor insurance. Our present dependence on foreign shipping for nine-tenth of our foreign carrying great loss to the industry of this country. It is our duty to our trade, for its sudden withdrawal in the event of European war would seriously cripple our expanding foreign commerce. The national defense and naval efficiency of this country, more than a compelling reason for legislation which we use to recover our former place among the trade carrying fleets of the world. The nation owes a debt of profound gratitude to the soldiers and sailors who have fought its battles, and it is the government's duty to provide for the survivors and for the widows and orphans of those who have fallen in the country's war. pension laws, founded on this just sentiment, should be liberally administered, and should be liberally administered, preference should be given wherever practicable with respect to employment in the public service to soldiers and sailors and to their widows and orphans. Applanding the Civil Service. We commend the policy of the Republican party in maintaining the efficiency of the civil service. The administration has acted wisely in its effort to secure for public service in Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippine islands only those whose fitness has been believed by training and experience. We believe that employment in the public service in these territories should be confined as far as practicable to their inhabitants. It was the plain purpose of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution to prevent discrimination on account of race or color in regard to the elective franchise. Devices of state governments, which may be arbitrary or constitutional enactment, to avoid the purpose of this amendment are revolutionary and should be condemned. Public movements looking to a permanent improvement of the roads and highways of the country meet with our cordial approval, and we recommend this subject to the earnest consideration of the legislatures of the several states. We favor the extension of the rural free delivery service wherever its extension may be justified. In further pursuance of the constant policy of the Republican party to provide free homes on the public domain, we recommend adequate national legislation to the extent that the United States, reserving control of the distribution of water for irrigation to the respective states and territories. We favor home rule for and the early admission to statehood of the territories of New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma. The District is amended to provide sufficient revenue for the state to repose war, has so well performed its work that it has been possible to reduce the war debt in the sum of $40,000,000. So ample are the government's revenues and so great is the public confidence in the integrity of its obligations that its newly funded 2 per cent bonds sell at a pre-payment price is not justified in expecting and it will be the policy of the Republican party to bring about a reduction of the war taxes. We favor the construction, ownership, control and protection of an Isthmian canal by the government of the United States. New markets are necessary for the increasing surplus of our farm products. Every effort should be made to open and obtain new markets, especially in the areas of exportation is warmly to be commended for its actionful effort to commit all trading and colonizing nations to the policy of the open door in China. In the interest of our expanding commerce we recommend that congress create a department of commerce and industries, in the charge of a secretary, with a seat in the cabinet. The United States consular system should be reorganized under the supervision, of this new department upon such a basis of jurisdiction, of tenure as will render it still more serviceable to the nation's increasing trade. Protection For Americans. The American government must protect the person and property of every citizen wherever they are placed in peril. We congratulate the women of America upon their splendid record of public service in the Volunteer Aid association and as nurses in camp and hospital during the recent campaign of our armies in Iraq and Syria, and we appreciate their faithful service in all works of education and industry. President McKinley has conducted the foreign affairs of the United States with distinguished credit to the American people. In releasing us from the vexatious conditions of a European alliance for the government of Samoa his course is enlightened. We must take our undivided control the most important island in the Samoan group and the best harbor in the Southern Pacific, every American interest has been safe- guarded. We commend the part taken by our government in the peace conference at The Hague. We assert our steadfast adherence to the policy announced in the conference time. The provisions of The Hague convention are highly regarded when President McKinley tendered friendly offices in the interest of peace between Great Britain and the South African republic. While the American government must continue the policy prescribed by Washington, affirmed by every succeeding president and imposed upon us by The Hague treaty of non-intervention, European controversies the American people face may may soon be found, honorable alike to both contending parties, to terminate the strife between them. In accepting, by the treaty of Paris, the just responsibility of our victories in the Spanish war, the president, and the senate, won the undoubted approval of the American people. No other course was possible, and the sovereignty throughout the Western states and in the Philippine islands. That course created our responsibility before the world, and with the unorganized population whom our intervention had freed from Spain to provide for the maintenance of our country, and for the establishment of good sovereignty in the performance of international obligations. Our authority could not be less than our responsibility, and wherever sovereign rights were extended it became the high duty of the government to exercise authority, to put down armed insurrection, to enforce the blessings of liberty and civilization upon all the rescued people. The largest measure of self government consistent with their welfare and our duties shall be secured to them by law. The laws and self government were assured in the same way which war was declared, and to the letter this pledge shall be performed. The Republican party upon its history and this declaration of its principles and objectives makes the considerate and approving judgment of the American people. A WEEK'S NEWS CONDENSED.

The populace there is daily assuming a more hostile attitude towards foreigners, and the latter tolerate symptoms of a general rising, espousing Wanking, where, according to a dispatch dated yesterday, Kang Wu, one of the most truculent enemies of foreigners, has arrived, armed with full powers from the empress to deal with the southern provinces. The friendly attitude of Viceroy Liu Kun Yih toward foreigners has brought him into disgrace with Prince Tuan, president of the tungli-yamen. The unrest at Canton is described by a dispatch from that city, dated Monday, via Hong Kong yesterday: "It is feared that we are on the eve of a scene of bloodshed and anarchy in the two Quangs only paralleled during the Tal-Ping rebellion. The signs of a murderous uprising are so manifest that wealthy Chinese are hurrying from Canton and vicinity, taking their wives, families and valuables. "Li Hung Chang has again been peremptorily ordered to Pekin. His enemies declare that they will murder him before he can reach there. His presence alone restrains the revolutionary elements. His departure will cause bloodshed, flags and Red Girdles. Knowing this, Li's trusted officers are sending their families to Hong Kong. "The Canton population reaches 2,000,000, in addition to 250,000 living on junks and sampans (flat bottomed river boats). Most of these people are disaffected, and incendiary proclamations are increasing the number of the virulent." CHAFFEE ORDERED TO PEKIN. Our General Will Lead His Troops to the Chinese Capital. Washington, June 27.—The purpose of the government to place an adequate military force in China was made perfectly clear yesterday when orders were issued to Brigadier General Adna GENERAL A. R. CHAFFEE. R. Chaffee to take command of the forces in China and to proceed at once to assume his new duties. More significant probably than the assignment itself was the wording of the formal orders to Gen. Chaffee, issued late in the day by Acting Secretary of War Meklejohn, directing him "to take command of the troops ordered to China, and to proceed to Pekin by way of San Francisco and Taku, accompanied by his aides." The announcement of Gen. Chaffee's assignment, and the orders to proceed to Pekin, came after the state department had declined to accede to a second proposition from six great viceroys of China that foreign troops be kept out of China until Li Hung Chang reaches Pekin. While the viceroy's spoke for their provinces, they could not speak for Pekin, and it is to Pekin that the officials most anxiously look. Minister Conger is still silent, and the latest advises have shown that little reliance can be placed on the dispatches from Shanghai saying that the ministers and legations at Pekin were safe. For this reason the orders to Gen. Chaffee to proceed to Pekin took on an added meaning. Gen. Chaffee left the city this morning for San Francisco, whence he is to sail on the transport Grant for Japan and China. The only person accompanying him is Leut. Harper, one of his aides. Word reached the navy department on Sunday that the battleship Oregon got away from Hong Kong Saturday night, bound for Taku. This is two days ahead of her expected start. She took on 164 sailors and marines, brought to Hong Kong by the Zafro. AMERICANS AND BRITONS Entered Tien Tsin First, With the Other Foreigners Cose Behind. Chefoo, June 27—The Americans and British entered Tien Tsin first, silencing the guns of the arsenal and breaking through the Chinese lines. The foreigners were close behind. The Russians lost four killed and 30 wounded. The losses of the other nationalities were small. Admiral Seymour's force is about 10 miles from Tien Tsin. It is surrounded by Chinese troops and Boxers and hampered by the presence of sick and wounded. It is reported that all foreigners were sent from Pekin with a weak Chinese guard, and it is assumed that they are with Admiral Seymour. The Brooklyn Sails For China Manila, June 27.—The United States armored cruiser Brooklyn, with 300 marines from Cavite, has sailed for Nagasaki, where she will coal, and from which place she will go to Taku. The United States transport Logan, with the Ninth infantry, and the United States gunboat Princeton followed today. Asphylated by His Mother Chicago, June 27.—Myra Conkling, a widow, took the life of her 9-year-old son John at their home yesterday and then attempted her own life. After stopping up all the crevices and cracks in the room in which her boy slept she turned on the gas and lay down on the bed near him to die. Before the deadly vapor had taken her life neighbors found her. She was taken out into the air and revived. Her son was dead. THE "INSURGENTS" SECEDE. From the Junior Order of United American Mechanics. Lancaster, Pa., June 27—At yesterday afternoon's session of the "insurgent" convention of the Jr. O. U. A. M. the delegates decided to secede from the national council. The resolution was passed with only six dissenting votes. An amendment to the resolution was adopted pledging the council's support to the orphans from Pennsylvania in the Mechanics' Home at Tiffin O. The breach with the members of the old state council was further avoided when the meeting decided to prefer charitable giving of old board of officers, including their secretary, Edwin E. Deemer, of Philadelphia, for "violation of the trust of the members of this state in misrepresenting the state council and committing it to long and expensive litigation." Prohibition Proposal to Democratize Chicago, June 27.—The Record says: It developed yesterday that the Prohibitionists of the United States expect to go before the Democratic national convention at Kansas City on July 4, with a list of 1,000,000 voters pledged to support William J. Bryan if the Democratic party will adopt a prohibition plank in its platform. The advocates of the proposal expect the Democrats to favor such a plank, but they believe and insist that it will be the entering wedge which will finally split one or the other of the two great parties and build upon the ruins the foundation of a new party. Rebellion on a Pacific Isle Rebellion on a Pacific Isle. Seattle, Wash., June 27—A rebellion is in full swing in Baratonga, a Pacific island under the British flag in the south seas. The uprising has spread over the whole island. The government isancing on the European settlements along the coast, and are threatening the capital. It is alleged that 50 Europeans have already killed. At the last reports they were fortifying various coast towns and were preparing for a desperate resistance. The rebellion is an uprising against the traders. Mobile's Remarkable Rainfall Mobile, Ala., June 26.—Twelve and fifty-seven one hundredths inches of rain fell in Mobile yesterday between 4 a. m. and 1 p. m. This is believed to be the greatest precipitation recorded in any one storm. Unlike the usual cloudbursts, this one was of bright laden color and unattended by oppressive heat. The rain fell in great sheets, and the entire city was unduated. It was simply impossible for houses in down town districts to keep their doors open. No lives were lost. Tennessee Delegates For Hill. Knoxville, June 27.—Of 16 of Tennessee's 24 delegates to the Kansas City convention polled by The Sentinel, nine express themselves unqualified for Hill; two more are for Hill, with reservations; four are for "a man who can carry New York," and one for a man "on whom New York and Indiana unite"; one is for the strongest man in full accord with the platform." No delegate expressed himself specifically in favor of any other candidate than Hill. Estes G. Rathbone Removed Washington, June 26.—The postmaster general has issued an order removing from office Estes G. Rathbone, who had been suspended by a former order from the position of director general of posts of Cuba, and detailing Martin C. Fosnes, an inspector in the postal service, to perform the duties of director general of posts until further orders. Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow has been relieved from further work in Cuba and has sailed for home. Rublin Defeats Sharkey. New York, June 27.—For the first time in his pugilistic career Tom Sharkey went down to decisive defeat last night in the arena of the Seaside Athletic club at Coney Island, and big Gus Rublin, the Ohio pugilist, was his conqueror. It was a clean knock-out, after 15 rounds of fighting that made a memorable ring battle. Save in the matter of aggressiveness, Rublin led from the face off in every feature of the game, and at all times had the fight well in hand. Forty Killed in a Georgia Wreck. Atlanta, Ga., June 25.—A passenger train on the Macon branch of the Southern railway ran into a washout one and a half miles north of McDonough, Ga., Saturday night and was completely wrecked. The wreck caught fire and the entire train, with the exception of the sleeper, was destroyed. Every person on the train except the occupants of the Pullman car perished. Thirty-seven bodies have been recovered, and it is believed three more are in the wreck. Drought Causes Millions Loss St. Paul, June 27.—"The existing drought will mean a loss of millions of dollars to the dairy and butter industries of Minnesota," said Commissioner J. M. Bowler, of the state dairy and food department today. The butter output of the state has fallen off 25 per cent in the last month because of the scarcity of hay, grass and fodder. Minnesota annually produces more than $10,000,000 worth of butter. Enumerators to Be Paid Promptly. Enumerators to Be Paid Promptly. Washington, June 27—Director Merliam, of the census buerau, requests a contradiction of the report which has been circulated in some portions of the country to the effect that the census enumerators ar not to be paid promptly. They will be paid as soon as their reports, properly certified to by the supervisors, are received. The entire pay roll for enumerators amounts to $3,300,000. Mexican Sympathy For China. City of Mexico, June 27-There is a curious manifestation of sympathy here with the Chinese, who are regarded by the Mexican people as fighting for their independence, and rightly resisting a vast plot for the dismemberment of their empire. There are many Chinese here, who are well treated, and Mexico has just negotiated a treaty with the Chinese empire. bankruptcy act favors swindlers. Indianapolis, June 27—Judge Baker, of the United States court, in discharging a Madison county man under the bankrupt law, said: "The bankrupt act was not framed for the purpose of preventing scoundrels and swindlers from obtaining a discharge in bankruptcy. On the contrary, it seems to have been framed with the studious purpose to favor the scoundrel and the swindler."

When suddenly upon its summit gleamed. Eruptions of red fire, which flamed and seemed An onshore of the pent-up fires below, Some running lava-kke o'er drifts of snow, Some rising in a mighty lurid pyre Unto high Heaven to kindle and aspire. Sometimes in sullen glow which slowly creeps In mighty currents, crimson-tinted tides Which clear all obstacles with red power strides. And there were glowing caves with em- erald dimmed. Deep, fathomous ravines by black smoke dimmed. While bonfires flamed and kindled up anew As though the fends in hell cut windows through. That they might note and mock with ghoulish mirth. The scenes such lurid lights revealed on earth. Only the clouds, but they seemed shaped and wrought By some great artist steeped in somber thought, Of fire intense in mighty plan and play, In scopic splendor stretching far away Through unimpaired spaces, etched or twilight gray. I EDGAR JONES. HIS DEAR RELATION It was really a most comical situation, my dear," said Lady Sara to her friend, Lady Glenlyndon, "They were announced together, just like husband and wife. She came in looking ready to burst with rage and affecting not to notice the general grin. He came in, either not having heard the announcement and quite unconscious of the presence of his dear relation, or else one of the finest actors I have ever seen. I think she would have liked to order him to be turned out of the room on the spot, but as she could not do that she turned up her nose—and I am sure it turns up quite enough of itself. Well, she sat down by me, and he sat near and talked affably, obviously trying to draw her in. She sat looking daggers at him, refusing to be drawn, and then at last snubbing him so that he gave her just one glance and left her to herself. She went soon, and, I hope, felt ashamed of herself, but I doubt it." "Nothing is less conducive to repentance," said Lady Glenlyndon, laughing, "than the knowledge that one is thoroughly in the wrong." "Exactly. Well, then, I said to him: 'How did you like that lady who has WITNEY WAS NOT AT ALL ABASHED just left? He smiled good humorely— what a pleasant smile he has!—and said: 'One thing is quite certain, that I could not like her less than she did me.' 'Don't you know who she was? I said; and when he said 'No' I added: 'She is your connection, Lady Witney.' 'His face was a perfect study. 'Good Lord!' he said, 'the dowager! Do you suppose she knew me?' 'Well, she could have hardly helped doing so, as that stupid Watkins announced you together as Lord and Lady Witney.' 'You should have seen how he stared, and then he laughed. 'Watkins takes the cake,' he said. 'But I wish I hadn't been the hero of it—and least of all with the dowager. It's odd, by the bye, how different she is to what I pictured her!' 'What was that?' I naturally asked. 'Oh, old and frumpy, the regulation dowager, with a high nose and plastered-down bands.' In this unlucky fashion began the personal acquaintance, if it may be so called, between the new Lord Witney and the widow of his predecessor. The piquancy of the situation from the spectator's point of view lay in the fact that the two persons concerned were the opposing leaders of a family feud. The old Lord Witney had always resented the fact that he had no son, and Lady Witney was even more indignant that her daughter could not inherit to the exclusion of the distant cousin. The fact that the principal seat and estate were entailed lent fuel to the fire. Lord Witney had plotted his "dear relation" as a typical dowager with the external appearance of a frump and the manners of a true virago. Lady Witney, as it happened, was one of those fortunate women who preserve their fineness of figure, delicacy of skin and piquancy of feature. Also she did not disdain to lend some skilful assistance to the work of nature. She had been married young, but she looked much younger than she was, and but for the well-known fact that her daughter's "coming out" was one of the events of the year, she might have posed successfully as the typical female a tenure ans. "Witney ought to marry his cousin and reunite the title and the property," was what the world said. Kind and busy-bodying people even bustled about and tried to help this on. An entirely unpremeditated effect, however, was produced by some well-meaning but ignorant rich people. They put Lady Witney on his other side at dinner. She gave him her shoulder ostentationally through the soup and fish. Then he spoke to her. She did not reply or turn, but she did not continue her conversation with her partner. Witney spoke again—a leading remark of a general kind. She turned on him with flashing eyes and replied in a manner that from one stranger guest to another was decidedly fierce not to say rude. Witney was not at all abashed. He seemed rather amused and continued the conversation. "Don't you think," she said, abruptly, "that a fortune-hunter is a despicable thing?" "Certainly," he replied, readily. "And don't you think that a fortune-hunter who pursues a girl simply for her money when he knows that he will never be allowed to marry her, and that the mere idea is hateful and not to be borne, and that he would never dare, if the girl had a father or a brother to protect her—" "Most cowardly and objectionable person. I am glad that the lady whom I am in love with is not an heiress or—" "Oh, you are in love, are you?" she then said. "Who is she?" "Well, now, really, you see, as a stranger—" "You know perfectly well who I am." "Certainly, but as you appear to—" Lady Witney's really fine eyes literally flashed fire—but at the moment the ladies fortunately rose. She reached home without having delivered herself, and, feeling that she must do so or burst, she wrote a scorching letter, telling him that his conduct was most ungentlemanly, and that she forbade him ever to speak to her or come near her again. He replied courteously acknowledging the letter, and begging her "out of her great experience" to tell him whether under similar circumstances he should publicly refuse to sit by her, or what? She wrote a cutting note in reply, mentioning incidentally that though it was quite true that she was quite an old woman (underlined twice) it was not usual in decent society to tell a lady so. Lord Witney wrote to disclaim that he had done this or had any intention of doing so. On the contrary, he knew that she had married as the merest girl, and he ventured to add that if he had not known this, her appearance would have inspired him with a belief that she was even younger. She found it absolutely necessary to answer this to the effect that she attached no value to his opinion of her appearance, and he replied to her. How long this singular correspondence would have gone on is difficult to say, but happening to meet Lord Witney at a party, Lady Witney went up to him. "I know what you are alming at," she said. "You want to get hold of my heiress daughter, and you think that if you persecute me, you will drive me to consent to get rid of the annoyance." "I utterly deny the persecution. I merely replied to your letters. That was common politeness. You might have ignored the replies." "I could not. There was something so insinuating—and I could not bear that you should think—" She stopped in some confusion. "Besides, I deny your accusation. I would not marry your daughter if she asked me. I love another woman." There was a pause, and then Lady Witney said, in an altered voice: "Does she love you?" "Not yet. But she will." "You seem remarkably confident. Is she so weak, then?" "No, she doesn't seem to me weak," he replied, cying her with a smile. "She seems to me a very determined and rather fiery little lady." There was another pause, and their glances met. "Do I know her?" "Yes." "Does she like me?" "Yes." "I am sure I don't like her." "On the contrary, you like her very much." "Who is she?" inquired Lady Witney, with abrupt eagerness. "I will tell you that at the right time. In the meanwhile, shall we go to supper?" Lady Witney was about to refuse, but looked into his smiling, handsome face, hesitated, and—we know the proverb. The lookers-on said, when they saw the pair enter the supper-room: "Clever man, Witney! He has got round the dowager, and now he will marry the heiress." But they were wrong. Six months later he married Lady Witney.—Madame. Plums and Apples. Plum and apple selling by hawkers was illegal in the sixteenth century in England. The reason was that servants and apprentices were unable to resist the sight of the fruit, and consequently were tempted to steal their employers' money in order to gratify their longing for these dainties.

M. MRS. MARTM, the world renowned and highly celebrated business and test Medium reveals everything. No imposition. Can be consulted upon all affairs of life, business, love and marriage a speciality. Every mystery revealed, also of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all troubles and estrangements, challenges any Medium who can exceed her in startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life. Remember she will not for any price flatter you; you may rest assured you will gain facts without nonsense. She can be consulted upon all affairs of Life, Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friends, etc., with description of future companion. She is very accurate in describing missing friends, enemies etc. Her advice upon sickness, change of business, law suits, journeys, contented wills, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable. She reads your destiny—good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH tells your entire life past, present and future in a DEAD TRANCE, has the power of any two Mediums you ever met. In tests she tells your mother's toll name before marriage, the names of all your family their ages and description, the name and business of your present husband the name of your next if you are to have one, the name of the young man who new calls on you, the name of your future husband, and the day, month and year of your marriage, how many hi idren you have or will have; whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you will be the heart she will tell you when you will be his business and date of acquaintance. All your future will be told in an honest clear and plain manner and in a dead chance. Mother's should know the success of their husbands and children young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts or intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all, do not let silly religious seruples prevent your consulting. Madame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NA+E of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. There are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from consulting a Medium, but such beliefs are contrary to the truth. It is only from the lack of discrimination that such a conclusion can be reached. It is not one who all placards himself or herself as a medium that can stand a test of what he or she claims. And a person of an enquiring mind may ask the reason why. It is simply it these advisers do not take the able to study hun an nature. They do not spend their thoughts for a moment with acquiring the art of phaseology and kindred branches that will have a tendency to make the pathway to the road of the business clear and devoid of all obstacles. It is an undeniable fact that persons will come for advice in full knowledge of what they want to know, and yet as soon as they confront a Medium they try their utmost endeavor to dispel from their minds what they know so as to hear if it will be rehearsed by the Medium. To get the secret out or a petition is the art used by many unprinciped mediums, but to take hold on the head and gain control of the mind thereby is a matter of impossibility to most of them. And yet this can be done and by consulting Mrs. Marth the seeming mystery becomes a realization. This subject has received no little attention by eminent men and even college professors. So it proves conclusively that although there are in-depth studies of tongues perhaps the gates of wisdom not been closed to the entire profession. It takes a great deal of study to become an accomplished medium and by a continuous and uniting effort, the key to the well of apparently unfathomable mysteries has been secured by MRS. MARTH for the benefit of humanity. ADVICE BY LETTER, $1.00 HOURS FROM 10 A. M., TO 9 P. M. MRS. M. B. MARTH. 246 W. 31st St., (near 8th Ave.) New York City. Enclose stamp for reply.

I love their gradens, Their old rock fences, that our day in- Broad doors and paths that reach bird- haunted gardens. I see them gray among their ancient scree. Severe of front, their gables Hchen- sprinkled— Like gentle-hearted, solitary Quakers, Grateful, religious, with kind faces wrinkled, Serene among their memory-hallowed acres. Their gardens, banked with roses and with illies— Those sweet aristocrats of all the flowers— Where Springtime mints her gold in daffodilies. And Autumn colons her marigolds in showers. And all the hours are toilless as the illies. I love their orchards where the gray woodpecker Flits, flashing o'er you, like a winged jewel; Their woods, whose floors of moss the squirrels checker With half-hulled nuts; and where, in cool renewal, The wild brooks laugh, and raps the red woodpecker. Old homes! old hearts! Upon my soul forever Their peace and gladness lie like tears and laughter; Like love they touch me, through the years; that sever With simple faith; like friendship, draw me after The dreamy patience that is theirs forever. Madison Cawein, in Myth and Romance. TOM HUNT By David H. Talmadge. THE weather smiled cordially upon the Big Woods district, of which Lawtonville was the center, until the first of February; then it frowned and snapped. Tom Hunt, who was of some distinction in the village as its only chronic invalid, and affected in some degree by insomnia, reported that the wind flopped from the south to the northwest shortly after midnight, and that less than two hours later he heard distinctly the chug of the mercury as it struck bottom. Which, there being no conflicting testimony, must be accepted as a statement of fact. It is known positively by the community in general, by which is meant everyone but Peter Cuppley, who has become imperious to atmospheric influences through the patient application of alcoholic waters to his inside, that at daylight the wind was galing bitterly and the air was full of dust-colored particles that stung like miniature whips. Furthermore, the town pump was frozen, and there were icicles upon the beard of Benjamin Rood, the village patrarch, when he arose from his bed. His daughter so informed a neighbor when they were walking home from the funeral that morning. Tom Hunt, who, despite his responsibilities as a chronic invalid, also assumed the office of the town wit, and therein preached a daily sermon upon the saving grace of a sense of humor. said it was the coldest weather since '69, when as a boy he had wonderingly witnessed his good father milk the family cow without a pail. There was really no occasion to use a pail, he said, for the streams of milk congealed instantly, and it was only necessary, when the animal's dairy had been emptied, to gather up the long, slender milk-needles into his arms and carry them into the house. A very pleasant liar was Tom Hunt, and much was he loved by the townpeople, for he was an unfalling source of comfort in times of trouble, and illness. No disease was there in the catalogue of human alliments from which he had not at some time suffered; no misfortune in all the long list of such things with which he had not had his tussle and issued forth trumpphant. And it redoubles to the everlasting credit of Lawtonville people that they overlooked, as a rule, the inconsistencies of his statements and accepted him as the blessing he wished to be. It was his way, that was all. There are too few—far too few—such liars as Tom Hunt in the world. On the 1st of February he arose from his couch and kindled the fires. The house was warm before his mother—many years a widow—appeared to prepare the morning meal. Tom was sitting by the window reading a letter. He put the letter into his pocket when the old lady entered the room and greeted her in his customary good-natured way: "Mornin', mother. Sleep good?" "Pretty good. Thomas, thank you. Colder, ain't it?" "A little," replied Tom, with a significant look at the frost-coated window. "I reekon if 'twas much cooler every thermometer in town'd be bursted. It stand near to 20 below zero, and there's a right smart wind blowin'." "Br-r-r-r!" shivered the old lady, wrapping a shawl about her shoulders. "Tain't a very good day for the funeral, is it?" Tom's face, which had been beaming with smiles, sobered instantly, and his hand jerked involuntarily toward the pocket where the letter was. "No, it ain't, and that's the truth," he said, seriously. "But then, you know," he added, brightening. "people don't expect no great pleasure from funerals anyhow." Mrs. Hunt sighed. After a time, when the coffee was ready and she and Tom were facing each other across the small table, she intercepted his hand as he was reaching for the sugar and held it for a moment lovingly. "You're a good boy, Thomas," she said. "I'm glad you think so, mother. I a'pose I might be worse." "You're 55 years old to-day, Thomas." "Bless us, so I am!" exclaimed Tom, stroking his bushy red beard with his disengaged hand. "I'd have forgot it entirely if you hadn't mentioned it." "Thomas?" "Well, mother?" "It was on this day 25 years ago that you were—you were—" "Goin' to get married." Tom concluded the sentence somewhat grimly. "So I was." "Thomas, why didn't you?" "Haven't I told you, mother, hundreds of times?" "Yes; but, dear, I've never believed you." "Mother"—Tom looked at the old lady with the utmost solemnity—"I've told you the truth. She and I were not suited to each other. My hair was too red, and her eyes were too black. 'Twas lucky we found it out in time. I reckon some one'd been unhappy if we hadn't." "Are you sure, Thomas, that some one hasn't been unhappy anyway?" "Well, tolerable certain, mother. She—she got married almost right away to another fellow, didn't she? I don't think the disappointment was very close to her vitals, or she wouldn't have done that." "Me?" Tom laughed. "Have you seen me mopin' or pkin' or dwindlin' away durin' the past 25 years?" I guess not. And it stands to reason, don't it, that I would have moped and pined and dwindlin' some if I'd took it much to heart? Mother, don't you be frettin' your old gizzard about this thing any more; it ain't worth it. Please to pass the doughnuts. "The meal was finished in silence. Tom had his overcoat on before he spoke again. "It's quite a ways over there," he said, "and I reckon I'd better be startin'." "Then you're really goin', Thomas?" "Of course, mother. Why not?" His mother offered no reply to the question. She only sighed deeply and put up her tremulous old lips to be kissed, clinging to Tom's shoulders until he gently pushed her aside. "I'll be back to dinner—maybe earlier," he said, cheerly. "Have the house pipin' hot, mother, for I'm thinkin' I'll run the temperature down a bit when I come. It's cold enough in the holler, but out on the hill where the wind blows free I'll warrant it's colder than the comfort of strangers." Then he strode away. His mother stood at the window watching him until he turned the corner into the highway which led straight through the village to the hill, two miles distant, where the dend slent. "Poor Thomas! Dear child!" Mrs. Hunt uttered the words half aloud as she poured boiling water into the dishpan. "I ain't so blind that I can't see it—not so blind as that—no, no." She shook her head dolefully. "He hasn't been the same child since that day, 25 years ago, when he come home with a ghostly smile on his face and told me 'twas all over between him and Maria Bates. I almost fainted with the shock of it, for I wasn't real strong then, havin'—havin' lost Joshua such a short time before. I thought then 'twas the girl's fault, and I think so yet. She's made the poor boy's life a bed of thistles, just because Dick Morginton had prop'ty and wanted her to marry him. I hope she's been happy, but it'd been only a righteous judgment on her if she'd hate come to a realizin' sense long ago of what she's missed by not havin' Thomas. Think of him goin' to that funeral on a day like this! There ain't more'n one man in a thousand would do it." Tom's mind, also, was busy with thoughts of the past as he plodded toward the great house where the crape was fluttering. He was wondering whether he had acted wisely; whether the reward had been worth the sacrifice. He told himself that it had. At any rate, it was too late now for— He entered the darkened house and seated himself upon the edge of a chair near the door, almost beneath the heavy curtains. The room was nearly filled with people, all of whom he knew; but in the restraint—that tenseness which comes at times like this—he looked at them, and they returned the look, with unresponsive eyes. It was as though they were strangers. Suddenly the curtain behind him moved slightly, and he heard his name spoken. He was startled, but controlled himself by a mighty effort. He knew who uttered the words, although they were spoken in the faintest of whispers. "Tom—come!" He arose unsteadily to his feet, and passed into the hall. A woman, clad in deepest mourning, stood waiting for him. "Maria!" The woman extended her hands. "Tom, my dear friend," she whispered, "it was very, very good of you to come. I feel so—so alone, and—despite it all I have remembered that it is your birthday. I have a gift—a very poor little gift—for you." She fumbled trembling at the bosom of her dress, and drew forth a socket, fastened by a slender gold chain. She opened it, showing him a picture of himself. "It is the portrait you gave, Tom, before—before—" "I know—I know," whispered Tom, huskily. "It means that—that you are still faithful." "As always, dear friend." "And I," said Tom. He seized her hand and kissed it once, twice, thrice. Then she floated away down the great hallway—and he returned to his seat. It was not a long service. Dick Morglinton's virtues had not been many, and the rooms were cold. Tom followed in the line that passed, according to custom, about the coffin, and there were tears in his eyes as he looked upon the dissipation-marked face of the dead man—tears of sorrow for what had been and what might have been—perhaps, for what might yet be. He returned from the cemetery in excellent spirits, albeit the cold had nearly reached his marrow. "Here I am, mother," he cried, as he opened the door; "pretty stiff, but still wigglin'." "Were there many out?" inquired his mother. She was putting the dinner on to the table. WEARS MALE ATTIRE Odd Occupations Pursued by Miss Nellie Pickerell. Has Been Bartender and Hotel Clerk, Is Versed in Pugilistic Affairs, Has Busted Bronchos and Is a Crack Shot. Nellie Pickerell, a 19-year-old young woman living near Seattle, Wash., dresses like a man, works like a man, and fights like a man. She is the Dr. Mary Walker of the Pacific coast. Her ambition is to be a prize fighter. When the visitor is editor's sword and extreme "Phew!" he insufferably "Quite a sprinklin', but mighty few of 'em went to the graveyard. Honest, if my whiskers had been any other color I think they'd have frozes and snapped off up there." "It must have been terrible hard on Maria." "Y-e-s, I reckon it must." He looked searchingly into the old lady's face. "Mother, you said the other day that you'd be happler if I were married, and had somebody to keep the home goin' if—when—" "When I am gone." The old lady spoke eagerly. "Yes, Thomas, I did. And it's so. I ain't long for this world, dear boy. I was 82 last June. I hate to think of leavin' you here all alone. But why? What's put the notion into your head so sudden? You ain't—" "No, I ain't. Only I was thinkin' that you mustn't let your mind dwell on such things, mother. You're younger now than plenty of women who haven't lived half the years. That's all, mother." At the corner store that afternoon he told cold-weather stories and cracked jokes, while he nursed his frozen nose and ears. But that night, after his mother had gone to bed, he sat long before the fire, with a letter—a letter yellowed by age—in his hand, reading and rereading "Dearest Tom," it said, "I have been thinking of what you said last night of staying by your mother. It does you credit—yes, it is nobile in you, but, dear, it hurts. I am not so good as you. My parents are not so fortunate in their child as your mother is in you. Sometimes I feel that I could defy the whole world, if by so doing I could take you to myself—alone. But in my sober moments I can see that such thoughts are foolish. I must do as father wishes, I presume, and sacrifice myself. It is hard—O, so hard—to marry one whom I neither love nor respect. Perhaps, some time—" The letter ended at this point in a great blot. "Perhaps—some time," repeated Tom, slowly, wiping his eyes, "perhaps—some time. She felt she had to break away from me, poor girl. She couldn't help it. Her folks were cruel hard. I'm glad I told her the lie about stickin' by mother; it sort of made it easier for her." He pushed his chair back from the fire and glanced at the door of his mother's room. "It's been for the best, I s'pose," he murmured. "Mother'd been alone else, or if she hadn't been alone maybe she and Maria wouldn't have hitched. But, perhaps—some time—" "Seems to me it's gettin' warmer." he said. "Philadelphia Press." Jane Turned the Joke The Shipping World says: "A good story apropos of the visit of the Japanese prince is being told in Paris about a former Japanese embassy which came to France to arrange about three free ports which were to be opened to trade in Japan and France, respectively. The French minister of foreign affairs chose Yokohama, Yeddo and Han-Yang. The Japanese ambassador smiled and went away. Soon afterward Japan signified that she had selected the three French ports of Havre, Marseilles and Southampton. The French foreign office went into fits of laughter at this blunder, and pointed out that Southampton was in England. 'We are perfectly aware of it,' replied the Japanese ambassador, 'and Han-Yang is in Korea.'" An Exciting Run. The following incident in Lord Wolscley's military career is recorded as having taken place when he was in his twenties, and had been in the British army three years. He speaks of it himself as the most exciting experience of his life. It was in Burma, and Wolscley was in charge of a small detachment. During the advance he had the bad luck to fall into a deep hole, and when he crawled out found himself on the enemy's side. As he emerged he was met with such a shower of bullets that he slid back in short order. After a few minutes he came out again, and, amid a vigorous volley, ran for his life. He was nearly 300 yards from the British line, and was hit three times before he reached a place of safety. Youth's Companion. He Grasped It. An old tradition recounts that when William the Conqueror landed for the first time on English soil, he slipped and fell on his face. Divining by a swift intuition that his followers might regard this as an evil omen, he rose with his hands full of earth, and exclaimed: "This do I take possession of Englandl I grasp it with both hands."-San Francisco Argonaut.

WEARS MALE ATTIRE Odd Occupations Pursued by Miss Nellie Pickerell. Has Been Bartender and Hotel Clerk, In Versed in Fuglistic Affairs, Nellie Pickerell, a 19-year-old young woman living near Seattle, Wash., dresses like a man, works like a man, and fights like a man. She is the Dr. Mary Walker of the Pacific coast. Her ambition is to be a prize fighter. When she wears dresses she is Nellie Pickerell. When she dons trousers she becomes Harry Livingstone, and insists on being called by that name. So strange is the Pickerell-Livingstone combination that it offers strong proof of the double identity, which many psychologists of the day insist upon. As Harry Livingstone, dressed in dudish clothes, a silk hat, and carrying a cane, Miss Pickerell attends all the prizes fight and static encounters in Seattle. So far as is known, she has never taken the part of a principal, but she is a good boxer, very agile and wiry, and withal has the science that counts for as much as muscle. She has acted as a second a number of times at fights, and acquitted herself creditably — from a prize fighting standpoint. Not long ago, while acting as a second, she was recognized by a man in the crowd, who yelled: "Git on to de girl in pants!" Give on to use girl in pants! Miss Pickrell jumped into the ring and invited the offender to "come on and get the worst punishment you ever had. I can whip you in three minutes." The man disappeared in double quick time, amid the jeers of the spectators, who were keen for an impromptu mill. Nellie's latest escapade took place last Saturday evening, when she was arrested for scorching and riding her bike without touching the handle bars. For this she was fined two dollars, but, not having any change in her vest pocket, she left the bicycle in the tender care of her captors at police headquarters. About six years ago the Pickerell family came to Seattle from South Bend, Ind. For some time they lived on NELLIE AS A HOTEL CLERK. a ranch and Nell donned male attire, herded cattle, broke bronchos, and participated in round-ups with enthusiasm. She became such an adept at riding that she was selected for difficult posts and could beat any of the men at "busting" a broncho or breaking a stampede. No restraint was placed upon her actions by her parents; she was allowed to do exactly as she pleased. She learned to shoot, and today, with a 22-calliber rifle, she can smash three out of five glass balls thrown in the air in rapid succession at a distance of 20 paces. Since Miss Pickerell came to Seattle a revolver has displaced the rifle and a man's bicycle the tricky mustang of the ranch. She has relegated her cow puncher's clothes to the junk shop and taken to wearing tailor-made coats and trousers. She always dresses fashionably, wears the latest style Derby hat, alternates between a sack and u cutaway coat, and is careful to have a pronounced crease in her trousers. She ealdom associates with girls. Among men she is a good fellow. The girl has never been accused of being "tough." Apparently she scorns all of the weaknesses of her sex, either good or bad. "Yes, that's the dickens of it," said an old police offaer, to a Chicago Inter Ocean correspondent. "If Nellie was 'tough' we could lock her up. But she's not. She's merely a sort of a sporty gentleman." Nellie does not look a bit like a girl when dressed in male attire. Her walk and swing are the same as a man's, but she shows her feminine vanity by insisting, as do her friends, that she makes a better looking boy than she does a girl. When dressed in the paraphernalia of a girl she looks awkward and ungainly. Developed like a man, she is tall, has dark brown hair, and brown eyes that flash with reckless abandon and defiance. She is headstrong and absolutely fearless. She wears her hair short, and is often seen in her favorite barber shop getting a hairecut, and joshing the barber. When she works, Nellie Pickerell is Harry Livingstone, and acts as a hotel clerk and bartender. Pickerell-Livingstone is an expert at mixing the drinks. She has worked in two saloons, and it is said that while she was there the proprietor and his customers were ignorant of her sex. A year ago she went to Portland, Ore., where she has an uncle in the hotel business. She heard that he wanted to hire a night clerk, and applied for the job and got it without disclosing her identity. Some weeks afterward, the uncle came upon a letter which Nellie had received from her sister, and the true state of affairs dawned on him. Nellie resented his inquisitiveness, gave up her job as clerk and returned to Seattle. Mother—I think we'd better not, he's so absent-minded. He might chafe it in the bill. N. Y. Weekly.

Spatial attention given to suits and other masters in relation to property THE PLANET SATURDAY JUNE 30, 1900 SAN; MACKOINO, P. I. May 13, 1900 "K" Company, weary, footsteps and hungry, arrived at the beach about 5 P. M., on the west coast of the island on May 4th and tried in vain to flag down a gunbottle they had seen from the top of the mountain, 4000 feet above. It was one of the worst trips on record. On the afternoon of May 3rd, the company with one meal set out in conjunction with troop K, 4th cavalry to locate and possibly to capture a band of Ladrones inhabiting the ball mountains that parallel the west coast, opposite Castellejos and Bubig. The company moved out towards the mountains and after a walk of one hour and twenty minutes reached a canyon which increased as the column advanced. It soon became apparent, the further the column moved the worst it became on the feet. As the canyon was fall of huge beulah, the column was almost impossible to see 10 feet ahead. Lieut. Dieu called a halt and called to the advance guard under Corporal McAllister who made him no answer, again and again he called, repeated calling disclosed the fact, that the advance was lost. LOOKING FOR THEM. Musician Kerns and a few others set out to look for them. They walked for two miles up the canyon and finding no trace of the lost advance, returned Upon their arrival they were happy to find the lost advance who had b-become alarmed after finding themselves separated from the command and set out to return over the route had come. The column bivouacked for the night, many of the men covering up with weeds to escape the heavy dwindle incident to this climes. At daybreak they moved out of the canyon and began climb the rugged mountain side. They climbed and twisted, a searched shaded there was no water. Some of the men who were convulsions began to get sick and as a result the column became widely scattered up the mountains, Dinner, they ate up the only meal they brought, and again they started up. The sick and played out were resting. Lieut. Diew had reached the top of the mountain and had dispatched the accompanying hrombs to bring water from the foot of the mountains. UNABLE TO GO FURTHER. Sergeant Watson informed Lieut. Drew of the men unable to go and he ordered them in and detailed 12 men to come with them, 18 in all. They started and when near the foot of the mountain met the returning hombre with the water and drinking it orders them to get more for the boys on top of the hill. Lieut. Drew pushed out. They were hungry, but had nothing to eat. They looked down on the China Sea and saw a boat. They signaled but receiving no answer, Corporals Page and Turner, Privatees Botta, McRheeters and Pogue started down. It was 2 P.M., when they started and sunburned when they reached the bottom to find the object of their mission gone. An hour later they were joined by the remainder of the command. Lieut. Drew thought they could probably make it to San Antonio but a search disclosed five ranges of mountains to cross, which was impossible in their weakened condition. They finally discovered an inhuman in his bane. He had rice and dried venison and seem delighted to divide with the hungry soldiers. Night came on and they laid down to enjoy a much needed rest Early next morning, Private W. Pheeters sighted a boat. He signalled with a towel tied to a stick, and was rewarded by seeing it answered. When she had drawn up the boys all got on and found her to be the Don Juan de Austria, one of the ships sunk by Dewey and remodeled by Hobson. They were taken to San Antonio and carrying a good breakfast reclaimed to Carcelien to go another hike like the evening. Sergeant H. T. Henry, the pride of the 261st was for the second time made first sergeant of the company. We will again enjoy peace and discipline combined as a result. The redoubtable Sergeant of the band who has scouted every foot of the Zambales mountains from Santa Cruz south, was wounded by an arrow in the knee, as the details are mesagre. I can't tell whether the arrow was poisoned or not. We pray that it is not, as well as a speedy recovery. Sergeant Matthews Lookadoo Co. B, is sick in Manila. Subig is an unhealthy place, herce the Sergeant's confinement to the hospital. It is only one of many cases existing in B Company. Privates Frank M. Pryor of K Company and Graham of B Company are sick in the Battalion hospital at Castellejos. They are much improved. Lieut. Company O. Battalion quartermaster passed through looking for the command in his department. FROM PORTSMOUTH, VA. The funeral of Mrs. Susan Wise took place at North Street A. M. E. Church on Thursday.

To the Sunday Schools, Associations, Unions and all connected with the Virginia Baptist State Sabbath School Convention,—Greeting:— Dear Brethren:—We take this means of calling your attention to the fact that the annual meeting of your Con- vention will convene with the First Baptist Church Sunday School of Man- chester, Va. on Thursday before the fourth Lord's day in August 1900. It is the earnest desire of the Board that you be represented, and raise all money possible for Conventional pur- poses. At no time in our history as a Sunday School organization has been it more imperative that the friends of the Convention should rally to its support than now. The true-hearted and loyal men and women who have stood by us so faithfully in the past, and by whose wise counsel and strong financial asistance the Convention has been abe to carry on the great cause of religious education throughout our State, are now expected to respond to our call. The existing 'troubles in our State present a condition of affairs never witnessed before. A crisis is to be met. To do so as becometh Christian men and women will require serious thought and prayerful consideration. o one who has the cause which we represent at heart can afford to absent himself from this meeting. There may be differences of opinion among us. Does that justify any in withdrawing? Some mistakes may have been made. Is not the Convention the best place in which to correct them? The cause we seek to advance is too important to be abandoned, brecken. We are sowing both for time and eternity. Let us stop and ponder well before we utter one word to discourage or lift one finger to destroy the work built by our own hands—an organization which has done much good, and destined to do more to promote our Master's kingdom. Come to Manchester. Come in large numbers. Come with renewed zeal. Come with an earnest desire to draw into one strong brotherhood all who in sympathy with the great objects in which the Convention was organized. Our missionaries are still upon the field planting new schools, fostering weak ones, carrying Bibles into the homes of the benighted and destitute, and preaching the gospel of the Son of God to dying men and women. Shall this work cease? Shall these servants of God be recalled from the field? Shall our grand old Convention, with all its history, its achievements, its pleasant associations around which our memories linger with fond recollections, go down? It is left with water. Let every school, association and union join in one united cry "On to Manchester." Reduced rates will be secured over all lines leading into the city. Yours for God and humanity. FEOM HARTFORD. Rev.

Wheelin's barber shop, 83 Albany Ave. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA OZONO SAVES YOUR HAIR. --- BALDNESS ECZEMA TETTER DANDRUFF DANDRUFF TETTER ECZEMA Be Not Deceived !! To the Colored People of America. RECOGNIZING the Fact that there are many so called hair growers and straighteners now being offered on the market, and knowing to a certainty that most of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight forward statement to the colored people of America through its best paper, the Planet. In the year 1871, our present Secretary through a fortunate circumstance acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or pushed to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the leading colored people of that time, it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy. True to all we claimed for it and worthy in every respect of the confidence and attention of every member of the colored race. Because they found it to cause the hair to GROW LONG AND STRAIGHT, soft and fine and as beautiful as an April morning. It also cures all forms of itching, humiliating scalp diseases, stops the hair from falling out, and causes a new growth to grow on the baldest head. Now, whenever a genuine article appears on the market, there are always a lot of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success numerous re-called hair growers and hair straighteners were put on the market. Of course the colored people had no way to tell that they were being fooled and bought most of them to their sorrow. Now we ask you a plain question. Would we absolutely agree to refund you your money provided you not satisfied with the preparations we manufacture if our goods were not true to all we claim for them?
