Richmond Planet

THE RICHMOND PLANET VOL XVII NO 35 FROM THE PHILIPPINES. SAN MASCKLING, P. I., June 14 1900. The week has been quite newsy. The paymaster paid his bi-monthly visit, as usual, almost a month late and left behind the scene; common after leaves. An expedition mobilized at Castillejos on June 2nd and went into the mountains under Lieut. George D. Arrowman, but returned unsuccessful. On the night of June 1st while waiting, some of the boys ran up on the secretary, who it is claimed remarked, "all niggers will steal." They immediately jumped on him. His wife jumped in between and received the blow intended for her husband, which knocked her down. The secretary fired his pistol which he claimed was taken from him in the scuffle. All trace of it is lost and searches for it have, up to date proved fruitless. Pvt. Anderson Byrd, of K company was arrested and sent to Iba to-day on suspicion of being one of the guilty parties, with several Filipino prisoners. The band of Ladrones, who has been operating some time in vicinity was captured the other night by Corporal Edward Smith and a detail of 16 men from K company. They numbered thirty and were armed with bamboo spears and bows and arrows. They were brought into Castellejos and released on recommendation of the President, who said they were all right. The Battalion headquarters are located at San Felipe, a charming spot, situated a half mile from the China Sen. The commissary is in charge of Corporal J. E. Henry, company I, who with his assistants has been buys issuing rations to the many commands in his charge. Lieut. James H. Cono is Qm. and commanding the battalion. I have returned from a trip to Sam Felipe and had a most erj yable trip the scouts, who by-the-way, are now mounted on large horses and American cavalry saddles have their headquarters there. Batt. Sergent Major Saddler, formerly 1st sergeant of D, late Sergeant of K, went before the board for examination as Post Commanding Sergeant. The result of the examination is not known, but we are positive he passed. A rumor to the effect that Capt. Albright of E company was wounded was found to be untrue. STAFF CORRESPONDENT. R O I C E To the Public: The last, but not the least.

SPEECH OF CANDIDATE BRYAN. He Devotes His Address to the Question of Imperialism, Declaring the Attitude of the Republican Party Antagonistic to the Constitution. Indianapolis, Aug. 9.—William Jennings Bryan and Adlai E. Stevenson were yesterday, in this city, officially and formally notified of their nominations by the Democrats at their recent Kansas City convention to the offices respectively of president and vice president of the United States. The ceremony was made the occasion of a demonstration, with which the Democrats may be fairly said to have begun their national campaign. The notification occurred in the Military Park, a beautiful and shaded tract of ground in the center of the city, and was witnessed by many thousands. Congressman Richardson and Governor Thomas, of Colorado, made the notification speeches to the candidates, and both responded at length. Mr. Bryan started out by saying the present issue was a contest between democracy and plutocracy, and then discussed imperialism. In the course of his address he said: When the president, supported by apractically unanimous vote of the house and senate, entered upon a war with Spain in 1789, the Republicans patriots of Cuba, the country, without regard to party, applauded. Although the party recognized that the administration would not be advantage from the conduct of a war which, in the very nature of the case, was over and complete victory, they vied with the Republican leaders which they gave the president. When the president finally was over and the Republican leaders became the party, a colonial policy, opposition at one manifested itself. When the president finally senate, treaty which recognized the independence, became so apparent that many preferred the treaty and risk the lilts that might follow; rather than take the correct course, the party treaty by the independent action of the party. Those who would have this nation enter upon a career of empire must constrain imperialism on the Filipinos, but they must calculate its effect upon our own nation. We cannot repudiate the principle of self-government without weakening that principle, he said. If we have an imperial policy we must have a large standing army as its natural and man-made arm. The spirit which will justify the相应 institution of the Philippines island will justify the seizure of other islands and the domination of other people, and with that request we can expect a certain, if not rapid growth of our military establishment. The Republican platform assumes that the Philippine islands will be retained under american sovereignty, and we have a right to retain them. We also leaders a discussion of the future status of the Filipino. Is he to be a citizen or a subject? Are we to bring into the body 400,000 000 000 Aslats, so different from us in the Philippines that amalgamation is impossible? Are they to share with us in making the ship to the destiny of this nation? No. Raising the ship has been bold enough to advocate such a proposition. The Democratic platform described the situation when it says that the Philippines will be citizens without endangering our activities. When we made allies of the Filipinos and armed them to fight against Spain, disputed Spain's title, we buy Spain the title of an innocent chasers. But even if we had not dispatched Spain's title, she could transfer no Spanish title to us and he and she was based on force alone. We cannot defend such a title, but as Spain gave us a quit claim deed, we can honorably transfer the title to us. We must possess. Whether any American official gave the Filipinos moral assurance in independence is not material. I submit that the title of turpitude baser than ouze if we now substitute our yoke for the Spanish yoke. The last Republican national convention resumed the peculiarity argument in its allied statements: "We make no hypothetical pretenses of being interested in the Philippines solely on account of others. While we regard the people of those people as a sacred trust we regard the people of American people first. We see our duty to ourselves as well as to others. We be legitimate means with which to prove our government and constitution we mean to stimulate the expansion of our trade and this is the commercial argument. It is based upon the theory that war can be legitimate military advantage, and that it is profitable to trade by force and violence. Filipino Necely Granted Delay New York, Aug. 14—C. F. W. Nesly, who is accused of embezzling Cuban postal funds, was not extradited, as was expected. A respite until Sept. 7 has been obtained for him through an appeal to the United States supreme court.

The graphophone is to the ear what the photographic cammy is to the eye, and more; for the Graphophone catches instantly and preserves every tint and shade of sound. The most interesting use of the Graphophone is to make records of your friends' voices to he preserved for future use. You can catch the story of your jolly friend just as he told it, the favorite song of some loved one just as she sang it, and the bright quaint sayings of the little ones natural to the life. They can be reproduced perfectly at any time and as often as you please. Besides, the Graphophone affords wonderful entertainment in the way of reproducing music of bands, orchestras, and vocal or instrumental soloists. When used in the sick room the Graphophone helps to whirl away many a tedious hour of convalescence, in investment will return so much in pleasure as the purchase of a Graphophone.

You heard the wind blowing the vines against the house." "It sounded like breaking glass. I wish you'd go down, John." "Oh, pshaw!" "It may be burglars." "Well, let them help themselves; I'm too sleepy to raise objections." Mrs. Arnold listened intently for a moment, then, believing herself to have been mistaken, she, too, dropped asleep. "Early the next morning the worthy couple were awakened by a vigorous pounding on their door. "Mr. Arnold!" called the servant. "Mr. Arnold, come down, quick! Something dreadful has happened." Mrs. Arnold was on her feet in a moment. "What is it?" she called through the door. "Robbery! and everything in the library turned upside down." It was a strange sight that met the eyes of the family as they entered the little library, which was usually so tidy. Chairs were overturned, books and papers scattered about in wild confusion, and a large plate glass window was smashed into fragments. Mr. Arnold's desk was opened, the contents of the various drawers were scattered about the floor, and the box containing his private papers was missing. "I told him so!" said Mrs. Arnold. They were the first words that had been spoken since the worthy couple entered the room. "I wish I had heeded you," said Mr. Arnold, ruefully. "I don't," said his daughter Ruth. "You might have been shot." "I would have risked a great deal," replied Mr. Arnold, "rather than have lost the papers which that box contained." "Your deeds and insurance papers, were they not?" asked his wife. "The deeds are properly registered, and the insurance papers can be readily duplicated. There is no great loss—" "But that was not all," interrupted Mr. Arnold. "I had sent $4,000 to Williams, in New York, to invest in government bonds, and last night while you and Ruth were out calling, I received a package from him containing the bonds. I placed them in that box for safekeeping. I don't see why I could not have thought of them, last night, when you awakened me!" "Father," said Ruth—the only one in the family who had retained her presence of mind—"the police must be notified at once. Leave everything just as it is, and I'll telephone to the station." In a short time the chief of police and his lieutenant were carefully investigating the scene of the robbery. "You know no reason for the robbery?" questioned the officer, "except the value of the papers taken?" "None, whatever," replied Mr. Arnold. "The robbers evidently took their time. It is strange none of you heard them come through the window." "My wife did hear—" "But they did not come through the window," interrupted Ruth. "That was used only for an exit after the robbery had been committed. The officer looked in astonishment at the pretty girl before him. "Miss Arnold," he said, smiling, "the detective field is before you! May I ask you your reasons for believing that the persons who entered this room last night did not come in through the window?" "The window was broken from the inside, sir. The glass is on the porch, not in the room." The officer looked at the window, gave a low whistle, and then smiled. "You are right, Miss Arnold," he said, then, turning to Mr. Arnold, asked: "What about your servants?" "We have only two, and they have been with us for years. I cannot think of their being connected with this crime." "But the person who committed the robbery was evidently let into the house by some one." "Then why did not that some one also let them out?" asked Ruth. "Another good point," said the officer. "They evidently did not enter by the doors or windows on the lower floor," said Ruth; "I believe they came in through the skylight. It is not a difficult matter to reach the roof by way of the back porch and the cavesphe. I've seen brother do it often when he was home." "But why did not our burglar leave the house in the same way he entered?" asked the officer, smilingly. "Because, in shutting the door after he had entered the room, the catch was sprung, locking him in. When he got ready to leave he broke the window my means of that chair and made his escape." "You speak as if there were but one." "I believe, upon thinking of it, that there was but one," replied Ruth. "Had there been two, they would have consulted together, when they found the door had fastened, and would have seen that a little patient work would have enabled them to unlock it without danger of detection. There must have been but one and he was no doubt new to the work. As for breaking the window with that chair—you will notice that the legs are badly scratched; they were not so yesterday." Before returning to headquarters to give instructions to his men, the officer said to Ruth, with great earnestness: "Miss Arnold, ours is an honorable profession, in spite of all that may be said to the contrary, and should you ever desire to make use of the ability which you possess, I shall be only too glad to assist you." "My daughter a detective!" exclaimed Mr. Arnold, indignantly. "I guess not!" "Never mind, father, there isn't much danger of my becoming a feminine representative of Sherlock Holmes. But I somehow seem to feel that I cannot only discover your papers, but the person who took them, as well. Let me do what I can, and if I am successful—well, you may be obliged to get me a new hat, or something else very nice!" That the robbery, when told in the daily press, created a sensation in the quiet little city in which it occurred, was a foregone conclusion. It was nothing, however, compared to the interest aroused by the various vivid recitals of "Our Lady Pinkerton," most of which were, as a matter of course, more imaginative than true. The officer, impressed with Miss Arnold's ability, had made a few unguarded remarks which had been quietly worked up into a good story for local publication, and as a result she soon found herself the center of considerable notoriously It was exceedingly distasteful to her, as well as to her family and friends, for the Arnolds belonged to the more aristocratic circles of society. "Well," said Ruth, philosophically, "what can't be cured must be en- dured," and I'm going on with this work, anyhow. Mr. Dixon will be here this morning, and I wish you to be present at our interview, please papa." Mr. Dixon, one of the best detect- ives in the country, was ushered into the library. He had arrived in the city on the day following the robbery and had since been investigating the various clews. "You understand, he said, with characteristic abruptness, "that secrecy is one of the first lessons the detective must learn." "You have nothing to fear so far as father and I are concerned," replied Ruth. "Had I not the very highest idea of your reticence, I assure you I should not be here to-day. May I ask," he continued, as they seated themselves around the library table, "your opinion as to who is the thief?" "We have not gone as far as that," replied Mr. Arnold. "Then I am one ahead; I have located my man." "It was not a man, Mr. Dixon, who committed that crime," said Ruth; "instead, It was a tall woman with black curly hair." "Miss Arnold, you surprise me!" "You notice this small stand," continued Ruth, "with my father's reading lamp upon it? Well, the chandelier above it is so low that even I cannot pass under it without touching my head. My father had it fixed that way so as to bring the light down as closely as possible, and as we have always kept this stand beneath it, nobody has ever interfered with it. This stand was overturned by our midnight visitor, who, by the way, called at 17 minutes past 12, and, after trying the door, she ran across the room, coming in contact with the chandelier. Now, if you examine closely you will see a long, black, curly hair hanging on the chandelier. It has been there since the night of the robbery." "Seventeen minutes past 12," mused Mr. Dixon. "How did you arrive at that?" "The little Swiss clock on my father's desk was overturned, and stopped at that hour. It is so constructed that it will not run unless in an upright position. Before the woman came down-stairs she entered the large room over this one, took one of the wax candles from the sconce on the wall and lighted it. She descended the stairs without either shoes or stockings, and placed the candle in that bronze candlestick on the mantel." "Miss Arnold, to speak mildly, you astonish me! I do not say that I am convinced, but—well, I should like your reasons for the remarkable statements you have just made. The candle—the bare feet, etc." "I have opportunities for making investigations," said Ruth, modestly, "that are not given a stranger. There is nothing remarkable about it. I found the wax candle on the porch in front of the window, and knew it to be similar to the remaining taper in the sconce in the room just overhead. We use these tapers only in that room, and of course she must have gone there to get it, und, since it is missing, she must have been the one who took it. Neither of the tapers had ever been lighted on the night preceding the robbery. The one I found was partially burned. It could not have been thrown down, because there is no window in that room over the porch, and so it must have been brought down. A burned match was on the stand beneath the sconce, and so I knew the candle had been lighted in the room. We have no carpets on that floor, which is of hard wood. The rugs had been taken up on the day preceding the robbery, that the floor might be oiled, and by looking closely, one can detect the marks of a bare foot. These footprints are very illegible, because the floor was almost dry, but in the proper light they can be seen. That bronze candlestick has not been used to hold a candle since we purchased it. If you will examine it now, you will find wax oiling to it, which serves to convince me that the woman has put the candle in that candlestick while she went about her work." "You are exceedingly observing," said Mr. Dixon, "and it looks as if you were right in your conclusions." "We have never thought Ruth particularly observing," said Mr. Arnold; "but there is a new hat and a scalskin jacket at stake, which may account for her acuteness at this time." "Oh," said Ruth, lightly, "do not fear that I mean to rob you of any of the THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA turrets of your profession. I am an involvement, in this case, because father's money is at stake, but I hardly think I should want to make detective work my profession." "It would not trouble me if you did," said Mr. Dixon, "for I believe this to be my last case. For that reason I am particularly anxious to succeed. I have formed a law partnership, and my whole time, from this on, must be given to my chosen profession." Day after day, Ruth and Mr. Dixon worked on their various clues, each trying to excel the other in obtaining desirable information, and both enjoyed the work more than they real- ized. The days lengthened into weeks, and soon an entire month was gone. Early one morning Ruth startled her parents by rushing into the library, her face all aglow with exci- ment. "I've found it!" she exclaimed. "Here it is, the box—the papers—everything!" "Where—where?" began Mr. Arnold, who was too excited to form an intelligible sentence. "Out in the summer house, on that little shelf, which is only a trifle higher than my head—why, we might have seen it at any time, had we only thought to look there!" Mr. Arnold opened the box. The papers were found to be undisturbed. When Mr. Dixon called, that morning, Ruth met him with a smiling, trilumphant face, and led the way to the library. "Mr. Detective," she said, pointing to the box, "confess yourself outwitted." "Have you also discovered that the tall woman with the black hair was possessed of blue eyes?" said Mr. Dixon, jestingly. "Oh, you may make fun of me all you like," retorted Ruth. "It is your only resource, but I can afford to overlook it." "Well," said Mr. Dixon, "I am glad the papers are safe, but the case is not concluded until the thief is found." "So long as we have the papers, we do not want the thief," replied Ruth; "we shouldn't know how to entertain her properly, if we had her." And then, like an excited child, she told him how she had found the papers. "The recovery of the property does not end the obligations of the law," said Mr. Dixon; and I am more determined now than ever to find the guilty party. I have one more clew, but it will take me away from here, unless—" "Away from here! You are going—away?" "I must." "I am very sorry." It was all she said, but a woman's voice is often her surest betrayer. "Would you like our case to last a little longer?" he asked, coming closer to her. "I confess that I should." What she replied does not concern us. It is enough for us to know that, before the interview ended, Ruth and Mr. Dixon had decided to enter into a life partnership at no distant day. "And now," said Mr. Dixon—was it an hour later, or two hours?—"I must see your father." "Going to ask him for me?" asked Ruth, laughing. "What a funny idea, isn't it!" "Yes," said Mr. Dixon, "when we consider the fact that I should take you anyhow! But it's better to go through the customary proceedings in such matters, isn't it? Besides, there is my clew—" "Oh, John, you must tell me about that! Remember, I am more your partner, now, than ever! Have you found the guilty one?" "Tell me! Tell me! Tell me, this minutek!" and Ruth got much closer to him than was really necessary, considering that the couch was long enough to hold three persons. "Was I right in any of my conclusions?" "The robbery was certainly committed by a tall, dark-haired woman; she has brown eyes, by the way, and her hair is curly only when she makes it so. I have reason to believe she went into the room overhead, as you said, and descended the stairs in her bare feet; but I must differ from you, Miss Detective, regarding her entrance into the house. She did not come in through the roof. She was a member of the household." "Excuse me, Mr. Detective, but I do not believe it! The cook is short, and her hair is light. And Jane, our only other servant, is not only short, but has very red hair." "There is nothing in detective work so bewildering as the unexpected. This robber, after securing the box, placed it in the summer house; then, unlike most law-breakers, she retraced her steps, reentered the library, unfastened the door, but failed to spring the catch, and again entered the hall. From there this exceedingly bold robber returned to her room and went to sleep. I have been consulting people who have known her all their lives, and have been told that she was given to walking in her sleep—" "John, you dare not say it was I!" "My dear, I am obliged to make the humilating confession that the robbery was committed by my promised wife."

Lucin di Lammermoor Impergoutated by Little Adelina Fatti in Raven Tresses. Quite recently, at her dainty Little theater at Craig y Nos, Mme. Patti appeared as Lucia d Lammermoor. She dispensed with a wig in this part, for she has bleached her own raven locks a fiery gold. This fact is significant and recalls this same Lucia, these same "raven locks" and a rare performance of "The Bride of Lammermoor" in New Orleans one night in the early '60s. In the autumn of 1869 Adelina Patti, then a slip of a girl barely 16 years of age, with ropes of jet black hair and the throat of a nightingale—the throat which has since made her rich and fat "OH, NO; IT IS NOT ABSURD." mous—sang for the first time in public, the part of Lucia in that fine old opera, "The Bride of Lammermoor," to a New York audience. As the Scottish heroine, of course, Adelina was compelled to cover up her ebon braids with a wig of flaxen hair. Later on she reached New Orleans. In that city Patti, with her sister Carlotta and her brother Carlo, had spent her early childhood, and she knew and loved nearly all of those who came to greet her as an operatic star at the French opera house. Just before the curtain rose on the opening night Mr. Strakosch, who was to conduct the opera, appeared in the greenroom and was amazed to find the bride of Lammermoor waiting to go on the stage with her own black tresses waving down her back, instead of the pale, corn-colored looks of the Scottish lassie. "Why, Addie, what does this mean?" excitedly inquired the great impresario. "That I am going to wear my own hair to-night," answered the budding prima donna. "But you must not. It is inartistic, inaccurate, absurd." "Oh, no, it is not absurd," calmly responded Patti. "My old friends in New Orleans only know me as a black-haired, skinny little Italian, and not as a golden-crowned Scotch girl. Besides, I will not disguise myself to-night to please anyone." The distracted manager argued, protested, threatened and caigned, but "Addie" stood firmly to her purpose. A tremendous welcome was accorded the youthful diva, but the audience greeted Lucia not as a fair-polled bride, but as their own "black-haired, skinny little Italian."—Chicago Chronicle. PRESERVING SEASON. Suggestion Regarding Putting The Fruit That Should Be Regarded by Wise Houndkeepers. In putting up fruit see that all the essentials are on hand before beginning work. Don't wait until the fruit is in the preserving kettle before running to the corner grocery for sugar. It is economy of time to buy sugar in 25 or 50-pound bags, for you will need it right along, suggests a writer in the Washington Star. See that all utensils are in perfect order, that a supply of new rubber bands is on hand and that the cans and glasses are as clean and sweet and clear as soap and water can make them. If every time a can has been emptied it has been carefully washed and dried and put away with its own top screwed on this part of the work will be greatly simplified. Yet, even if cleaned before putting away, they will need to be scalded just before using. Have ready a small sharp-pointed knife for paring; a silver-plated fruit knife ground to a fine edge and kept expressly for this purpose is beat. Have a half pound of paraffin on hand for covering jellies, several long-handed wooden spoons, a ladle, a colander, a bright tin strainer, a small skewer or silver nutpick, several large bowls and platters and a couple of large porcelain or granite kettles. Never use tin vessels for cooking fruit, nor yet iron. Brass, when thoroughly cleaned, is pleasant to use, but its expense and the labor necessary to keep it in good condition preclude its adoption in the ordinary kitchen. A plentiful supply of cheesecloth and towels, and a large-mouthed funnel to use in filling jars should also be in readiness. The size of the cans to be used may depend largely on the size of the family. For a small family the pint-sized jar is best for nearly everything, taking pains to select those with wide-mouthed tops. Half-gallon jars will be found useful for large whole fruits. Adjuncts to Fruit Course. Fruit napkins and finger bowls are the proper adjuncts to the fruit course. Every housekeeper realizes the extra work entailed in removing fruit stains from her white table linen, and it is the wise woman who minimizes this necessity. Care of the Bread Box Do not "air" your bread boxes after they have been scrubbed and scalded; dry and close them. Dust frequently carries germs of mold, which grow and contaminate the bread. WIVES OF PRESIDENTS. Personal Appearance of the Charming American Women Who Hava Ruled the White House. Of mistresses of the white house one of the most popular was Mrs. James K. Polk. Like Mrs. Cleveland, she was a brunette, and of fine presence; it was often remarked that not a crowned head in Europe could queen it more royally than the wife of the royal queen president. Poeta penned verses in her honor, and on the last Sunday of her stay in Washington a clergyman addressed her from the pulpit. She was treated with great distinction, and after leaving the white house was visited every New Year's day by the legislature in a body. Mrs. George Washington also had dark hazel eyes and brown hair. She was not a beauty, but she had a good form, rather below middle weight, and her manners were frank and engaging. She dressed plainly, and at a ball given in her honor she wore a simple russet gown and white handkerchief about her neck. One of her dresses, which she herself manufactured, was of cotton, striped with silk, which she obtained from ravelings of brown silk stockings and old crimson shirt covers. Mrs. Monroe was considered a beauty. She was tall and gracefully formed, polished and attractive in society. Mrs. John Adams was never beautiful, but she was of imposing appearance and very intre. ectual. Mrs. John Quiney Adams was famed for her charming manners, and Mrs. Andrew Jackson for her amiable temper and kind heart. Mrs. Martin Van Buren, who died before her husband he MARIA MRS. ULYSSES S. GRANT. came president, was a pretty woman, with modest, unassuming manners and gentle disposition. The first Mrs. Tyler was one of the belles of eastern Virginia, and was most attractive in her striking loveliness of person and character. The second Mrs. Tyler was the first woman to marry a president. Before her marriage she was, for the one season she spent there, the belle of Washington. A sparkling brunette was Mrs. William Henry Harrison. She was very handsome, with a face full of animation, and her health, which was robust, added a glow to her features, which increased her charms. "Upon her countenance," it is recorded, "nature had been profusely liberal." Mrs. Thomas Jefferson was remarkable for her beauty. Her complexion was brilliant; her large, expressive eyes of "the richest tinge of auburn." Allittle above medium weight, she was slightly and delicately formed. She danced, sang, played the spinet and harpischord and rode with great skill. Mrs. James Madison was a pretty, buxom woman, with a smile and a pleasant word for everyone. She had regular features and sparkling eyes. Mrs. Zachary Taylor was a quiet woman, but had great strength of character and the true spirit of the American heroine, enduring patiently privation incident to life on the frontier, where her husband, as Maj. Taylor, was stationed. She had no ambition beyond making her home happy. A blond of rare beauty was Mrs. Millard Fillmore, with a skin of dazzling whiteness and auburn hair. She was quite tall, with a fine figure and of commanding presence. She is ranked with the wives of the two Adamsas as a learned woman, and it was through her that her husband asked for and obtained an appropriation of congress to buy books for the white house. Up to that time there had been a Bible there, and little more. Another woman of rare beauty was Mrs. Franklin Pierce. She also had many accomplishments. She was very refined and quiet, charming. Mrs. Abraham Linecoln as a girl was very attractive and she had many suitors. When she became the mistress of the white house she was "fair and forty." That she was the successor of the popular and accomplished Miss Lane was not a point in her favor. At the first levee she appeared in pink silk, decollete, short-sleeved dress and a floral headdress, which ran down to her waist and destroyed what comeliness simplicity might have given her. Mrs. Andrew Jackson possessed the beauty of face and form which rendered her mother one of the most beautiful of women. Mrs. Grant was a blond of delicate figure, rather below middle stature. Mrs. Hayes was of very attractive appearance. Mrs. Garfield was noted for her tact, and her husband once said that he never had to explain away any words of his wife. Mrs. Arthur, who died before her husband became president, was known as "the beautiful Miss Herndon with the marvelous voice" before her marriage. Mrs. Harrison was fair as a girl and possessed the blond style of beauty, which also belongs to Mrs. McKinley.—N. Y. Sun. How to Make French Toast.

She Is to the Colored Women of America What Fred Douglass Was to the Race at Large. Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin, whose application for membership was rejected by the board of the General Federation of Women at its recent convention in Milwaukee, is one of the most notable colored women in the country. For many years she has been a conspicuous figure in the life and public movements of the people in the city of Boston. She is a native of the American Athena, and is close to 55 years old. The St. Pierres have been well-to-do colored people in Massachusetts for nearly 200 years, the original stock coming from Martinique, in the French West Indies. Mrs. Ruffin was reared in a home of refinement, culture and comparative luxury. Her education was received in the best schools of Boston; her social intercourse has been with the gentlest and most thoroughly genuine of both races who make the "Hub" of American culture their abiding place. Beacon Hill regards her as one of the city's remarkable women, and there is scarcely a public movement started among women that Josephine Ruffin is not consulted and made a chief spirit in the project. She is the mother of the club movement among the colored women of the country, the National Association of Colored Women being the direct outcome of her zeal and individual effort. She is aggressive, resourceful, farsighted and possessed of a gift of tact. It is said that she went to the Milwaukee convention with a distinct notion of placing the colored women in a new light before the people of the country. It is a fact that the more prominent colored women in the various sections of the land did not think the game worth the candle, and attempted to dissuade her from the course she had decided to pursue. They argued that the General Federation of Women offered no special MRS. JOSEPHINE RUFFIN. inducements to colored women to join with them, and apparently did not want their company. They also set up the statement that their own federation was doing as comprehensive and far-reaching work among the colored women as the white women were doing among their kind. Mrs. Ruffin retorted that it was not social intercourse she was seeking, but the vindication of the broad and high principles upon which the general federation based its right to existence. "Womanhood is the gentler aspect of life," she contended, "and should not be prostituted to the baser motives of society. What is to become of the race if woman disregards the sacredness of motherhood and sisterhood? The general federation must rest its head upon the breast of the Mother of Tears or else go out into the shadows of the night and die." During her brief stay in Chicago Mrs. Ruffin was graciously received and entertained by the women of both races. She is determined to carry her fight to the next biennial of the general federation, and is said to have received substantial assurances that she will be supported in her contention by the most influential women in the north and west.—Chicago Tribune. VEAL A LA MARENGO. How a Dish, Now Famed the World Over, Got Its High-Sounding, Historical Name. All dishes of meat cooked a la Marengo recall the famous victory when Napoleon, fushed with success, came to his evening meal a hungry man. The cook, so goes the tale, had found the supply of butter short, and fried the tender chickens he had selected for the emperor's table in the best olive oil. Was it the success or hunger or the chef's supreme skill? The chickens were declared the most perfect that ever were cooked to a turn. The news of the great victory went to France, and with it traveled humbly, but not unmentioned, the story of the triumph of the cook. All France was discussing the victory and eating chickens a la Marengo. Fashionable restaurants served chickens a la Marengo. It was a new name for an old dish. The only change made was to fry the chickens or veal in oil instead of butter. The delicate brown meat was then slowly stewed in a rich white broth seasoned with vegetables for one hour. It was the idealized dish of the peasant made of superior ingredients and given a fashionable name, and France went wild over it, as if it were really a new dish the chef had discovered.—N. Y. Tribune. How to Put Away Fruit. Fruit should never be left in the room from one meal to the next. In hot weather it may be chilled by putting in a pail or pan, covering closely, and setting in a larger vessel with a thin layer of two-thirds ice and one of salt for an hour before serving. Cover with paper and set in cellar. Tomatoes and melons should be chilled in the same way. Bananas should never be put in the ice chest after opening, as they grow dark. Alaskan Mountain. A bulletin is soon to be issued by the geological survey on the "Altitudes of Alaska." It is the compilation of Prof. Henry Hannett. The names of the mountains described in the bulletin are: Blackburn mountain, 12,500 feet; Black mountain, 12,500 feet; Cook mountain, 13,750 feet; Crillon mountain, 15,900 feet; Drum mountain, 13,300 feet; Fairweather mountain, 15,992 feet; Hayes mountain, 14,500 feet; Iliamna peak, 12,066 feet; Kimbali mountain, 10,000 feet; La Peruse mountain tain, 10,470 feet; Lituya mountain, 12,852 feet; Mount McKinley, 20,464 feet; St. Ellias mountain, 18,024 feet; Sanford mountain, 14,000 feet; Seattle mountain, 10,000 feet; Tilman mountain, 13,300 feet; Wrangle mountain, 17,500. The mountain which is now known by the name of McKinley was formerly known as Mount Allen. It is visible from the coast of Cook inlet, about 200 miles away, and the inhabitants of that region call it Bertsheya, which is the corrupted Russian version of "The Big Mountain." The real native Indian name for it is Tragela. Mr. Dick, a prospector, named this mountain after President McKinley in the year 1896, and it has been thus described on the new maps of Alaska issued by the geological survey. Drink Little Liquor. The Chinese do not drink much intoxicating liquor. The native drink is a sort of arrack, of which rice is the basis. It is only once distilled, and is of low proof, but when stronger spirits are required this is redistilled, and in that state it is known as samshu, which means thrice fired. There is no Sabbath, but to make up for this there are many general and local festival days. Business is suspended only on the first day of the year, and then everybody makes merry and celebrates the day with good eating and drinking. The first three days of the lunar year and several days about the middle of April are devoted also to worship at the tombs. The days of relaxation and merry making are the two soilstices and the festival of the dragon boats. Besides these every family has its festival days, when the temple belonging to the family is visited and the ancestors remembered.-Chicago Chronicle. Glass Diazolved in Water. Every kind of glass at a sufficiently high temperature, says Prof. Carl Barus, must eventually show complete solubility in water. Under pressure glass dissolves in water heated to 410 degrees Fahrenheit. Sea water more than about 660 feet beneath the surface will remain liquid at that temperature, and if it penetrates the earth's crust, where the temperature is equally high, it will, apart from the pressure, liquefy the silicates, or glassy rocks. Prof. Barus concludes that at a depth of about five miles silicates in contact with water are virtually fluid, and that the level of aqueous fusion in the earth is five times nearer the surface than is that of igneous fusion.—Youth's Companion. School Discipline in Munich A judicial decision which has just been rendered at the court of Munich shows that corporal punishment is still regarded in Germany as an indispensable factor of education.

As pupils are amenable to scholastic jurisdiction even after the school houses are over, they may be punished by the teacher even outside of the school."—Chicago Chronicle.

And see the shady lane, [Winding past the flelds of gratn, ‘And the sweet wild roses blooming where ‘the farmhouse stood. “There's the gnarled old apple tree; : ‘How the favor comes to me Of the golden-russet apples that always tasted good: And the flag-root still must grow, In the meadow wet end low, ‘As when I played In childhood where the farmhouse stood. ‘here's the schoothouse painted red, ‘Where the master—iong since dead— ‘Taught us the love of learning and of “And the little old white church, Gn the shadow of the birch, ‘Whose Sabbath summons reached un ‘where the farmhouse stood.

I owas there last just four years ago. It im right on the Bronx—" “The beautiful Bronx!” corrected Mr. Dobley, “famous for its pellucid, Placid — especially placid — waters. When do we go on this malarial breed- ing trip?” “On next Saturday,” said Mrs, Dob- vley. “We have agreed to wear shirt waists and short skirts.” “Then I won't go,” said Dobley. “I should feel ridiculous in such a rig.” “Ot course, I mean the women,” said Mrs. Dobley. “We decided it would ‘be too silly to dress up. The men are to wear knickerbockers. We shall feel like boys and girls again. How I long ito see that quaint old man that used ‘to serve dinner under the rose armor.” “Do you know that it strikes me that the quaint old man has opened a quaint old dairy kitchen on the Bowery and sold out his rose arbor?” “Well, the place must be there at all events!" said Mr. Dobley. “I recol- Ject it was called “The Cherries.’ Don’t you remember, he called it that on.ac- count of the trees? He said it was the shadiest resort on the Bronx. And during the cherry season he always served cherry pie and cherry tarts for dessert.” “Does he know that he is to havea grown-up picnic on his hands?” asked ‘Mr. Dobley. “Oh, yes; I telegraphed him to have dinner ready for 16 at seven o'clock. I signed it J. Dobley.” “I thought we were going to eaton ‘wooden plates and have paper nap- kins in the woods,” said Mr. Dobley. “That's only luncheon,” explained Mrs. Dobley. We thought it would be lovely to spend the first hour or two Barbering wild flowers. Then we will awing hammocks in some shady nook —and spread the luncheon on a rock. After that we shall enjoy a walk along the banks of the river—" “The picturesque Bronx,” put in Mr. Dobiey. “Then back to the Cherries for din- ner—after which we will return in ‘the gloaming, tired and happy.” “We're bound to be tired; but I am not so sure that we will be happy. ‘Picnics are uncertain.” “Let us not anticipate anything but a delightful time,” said Mrs. Dobiey. “I predict an absolutely perfect day!” The morning dawned serenely and cloudless, and the Dobleys made an early start. They reached Johnsbridge about noon, and asked a hackmaa te drive them to the Cherries, “The which?” said the man. “The Cherries,” said Mrs. Dobley; “a restaurant.” “There's seven Cherry places here,” said the man; “there's Cherry Inn, Cherry Cottage, Cherry Rest, Cherry ‘Tree house, Cherry Villa, Cherry Grove and Cherry Gate.” “Why are they all named alike?” asked Mrs. Dobley. “A few years ago there was only one place of the name.” “Well, it’s like this,” said the driver, “That man made so much money that he grew rich and sold out and the ‘six men who wanted to buy the place, but were outbid, all opened places and called them Cherry. Now folks come up here looking for the old place, and they ‘can't tell which is which. It keeps trade evenly distributed.” “It will keep our picnic distributed, also,” “We'll have to get “I wonder who got my telegram?” mes Sh wee Oi, ond: the oparager souldn't dectde what to do. So they all agreed to have him read the con- tents to them, and then each man said {t was for him. I believe they have all made preparations for a party for din- ner to-night from the city. “Oh, dear met” said Mra. Dobley, “how very embarrassing!" “In a crisis like this one must be calm,” said Mr. Dobley. “First we must pretend that we know nothing about the telegram. For the time be- ing we are the MacWaddles, of West- ehester. We don’t even know the Dob- leys. We are just taking a little drive through the country. In this way we can collect our party and escape.” ‘They drove along the road, coming at last to a small enclosure under ap awning where bicyclists sat around at small tables. “This,” said the driver, “is Cheery Rest." “And there are the Van Rippers,” said Mra, Dobley. “We'll get out and let them know about toe tix we are in.” The proprietor of Cheery Rest came out, rubbing his hands in anticipa- tion. “Do you belong to the picnic par ty?” he asked. “We have erected a temporary tent In the rear for the dinner.” “Hello, Dobley,” said Van Ripper. “I thought you were never coming.” “I beg your pardon, sir,” said Dob- ley; “but you have made a mistake. My name is MacWaddle. This is Mrs. ‘MacWaddle.” Mrs. Dobley winked violently at ‘Mrs. Van Ripper, while Van Ripper looked astonished. “I thought we were going to meet here?” he said. “Curious case of mistaken identity,” said Dobley; may I ask your name?” “Oh, say,” began Van Ripper, “this is carrying a joke—” “This is no joke,” said Dobley. “Tt is a very serious matter. If you will walk along the road with me while the lady who is with you occupies the carriage with Mrs. MacWaddle, I will make you understand that you owe ‘me an apology.” ‘Thus the party left Chetry Rest and Dobley explained the situation to Van ‘Ripper, who agreed that it would be {dangerous ¢o admit the authorship of the dispatch ordering dinner. “I was undecided which of the seven places we should stop at,” said Van Ripper, “until we heard that the Cheery Rest dinner was to be served in a tent We thought that was rather a novel plan, and so we waited there.” , “But we must stop at each of the ‘other places in order to get the party together.” said Mrs. Dobley. “I shouldn't want to lose any of them. What is this place all decorated with flags and banners?” “That is Cheery Grove.” said the @river; “they have made very elab- orate plans there, T believe. ‘They have a clambake. They looked this man Dobley up and found he was good for it, so they spared no expense.” As the party’ neared Cherry Grove the sound of an orchestra was heard and Mr. Freshington and two girls in red golf coats appeared on the piazza, waving their handkerchiefs. “Don’t notice them,” said Dobley. “We'll have to get. away by strategy. Let the carriage proceed slowly and wait around the bend of the road.” Freshington came out to the gate to meet them. “Dobley,” he said, “you're a brick! You are a royal host. This man has made prepara- tions on a great scale. He has had a bowling alley put up ang a May pole and a shooting gallery in the cellar, He said he'd have had links laid out ithe had had time. Let me introduce the proprietor. Dobley, this is—” “What name is that?” asked Dob- ley, stepping on Freshington’s foot. “I have seen it on a tombstone in an ld country churchyard.” “Surely you don't forget your old college chum, “MacWaddle,” said Van Ripper, nudging Freshington. Mr, Freshington gazed in astonish- ment at them just as the two girls came up, but before they had time to speak Van Ripper said: “Mr. MacWaddle, Indies — MacWad- dle of Westchester.” “About a quarter of a mile from here,” said Dobley, “there is a most picturesque little dell absolutely grown up with marguerites.” “How lovely!” said both girls at once. “We might wander there,” said Dob- Jey, “and gather some—" “To decorate the tables,” said the girls, “That will be sweet!” “Tables{” said Wobley, in astonish- ment, “What tables?” “Why, we are all going to a pic- nic,” said one of the girls. “Aren't you invited?” “No,” said Dobley; “I know noth- ing about it. I merely stopped in pass- ing, attracted by the decorations and the air of general rejoicing.” “Well, the clambake will be ready at six sharp,” said the proprietor, ‘Cand 4?) 900 weet Uda san Dobler. THE BICHMOND PLANET RICHMOND, -VIRGINIA vs “rem | The Reign of Lawlessness a dog?” . “Are there people called the Wink- ‘ers stopping here? ‘asked Mr. Van Rip- per. “Because if there are—" “There are two young men waitingin the parlor for the last hour for a pienie party,” suid the thin-faced lady, “ana we have made preparations for a larg: party and somebody's got to pay for in” “Those are the two Winker boys— T'll wager,” said Van Ripper. “Madam. L regret to say that you have been the victim of two harmless lunatics who have the delusion that they are giving and attending picnics. If you will al low me I wil go in and-get them quietly away. This is their keeper. MucWac- dle, have the straightjacket ready in case they are violent.” ‘The horrified woman allowed Van Ripper to go in and return with two young men who wore bicycle suits and 'a bored look. “Where's the picnic?” asked one of them as they came out, while the wom- ancowered against the wall. “You hear that, madam?” said Dob- ley. “That is the way they talk con- stantly; life is one eternal picnic to them.” “Well, who is J. Dobley?” asked the woman. “That's what i am going to find ont. And when Ido I'll give him a piece of my mind.” “There's Dobley,” said one of the youths. “This is a nice sort of a pic- nic!” “Yes,” said Dobley, “of course it is a nice picnic, and we are giving it ina grove of 17,000 trees, and it is costing us $8,000, isn't it? This, madam, is the khedive of Egypt and the Turkish am- bassador.”* * “Yes, the greatest living cigarette advertisement in the world,” said Van Ripper. “They receive eighteen hun- dred billion dollars a year to. travel “around together.” “Will you come quietly?” asked Dob- “ley, “or shall we be obliged to use force?” “By this time the proprietress of Cherry Gate slammed the door sud- denly and let a dog loose in the rear of the house, who came up just as Dobley scaled the fence. “I can’t stand this any longer,” he said “It's too much of astrain. Sup- pose we stand before the other places and whistle until the others of the party come out, if they are at any of them. That dog jarred me." “They have two bloodhounds at Cherry inn,” said the driver, “and the owner has a terrible temper.” “I have an idea,” said Van Ripper. “Let us send two of the ladies to Cherry inn, and they can tactfully get any of the others away on some plea or other. ‘Then the party will benearly complete, and we ean take to the woods.” | “That is the brightest idea that has been uttered," said Dobley, ‘The feminine scouts came back tri- umphantly with two married couples who had been waiting patiently at Cherry inn, where they said an extra corps of waiters had been hired for the plenie, They spoke eloquently about fried chicken and other inviting fea- tures of the bill of fare, while the hun- gry picnickers gnashed their teeth. “Cherry cottage and Cherry Tree house yet to hear from,” said Dobley. “Oh, this fs such a pleasant picnic.” “They are both close together,” anid the driver; “the grounds adjoin.” “Ill tell you what we'd better do,” said Dobley. “Let the driver take his wagon off and engage a large stage and a speedy pair of horses. This can wait for us nearby. When we acquire the rest of the party, we will all get in the stage and drive rapidly to the next vil- Inge.” “Suppose some of the guests have come up since and are waiting at the other places where we have just been suggested Mrs. Dobley. “They should have come earlier,” said Dobley. “We are not to blame if they get into any trouble through their own delay. As for the clam bake—" “The clam bake,” said Freshington, “is one of the might have beens.” “But we have luncheon with us, so we won't quite starve,” said Mrs. Van Rip- per. “If we can only get a shady place.” “I see Mr. and Mrs, Biffkina and the Grassly girls waiting down under the trees back of the Cherry Tree house,” said Mrs. Dobley. “If we could only at- tract their attention!” “I'l steal along by the back fence and get them over it while the propri- etor is waiting on the front stoop for the picnic,” said Dobley. You can go quietly to the stage and wait, there un- til we come up. Then we can whip up the horses and: leave this place belyind os “We shall probably be pursued,” said Mrs. Dobley, “but it will be exciting at all events. Be sure you find the stage, You'll know us by the girls’ red coats.” “In the meantime,” said Dobley, tak- ing a box from his pocket. “Thisismy contribution to the luncheon. I gath- ered these fresh this morning, “What dre they,” asked Mrs. Van Ripper, “mushroonts?" “No, caterpillars,” said Dobley. “Caterpillars!” exclaimed the ladies, “Certainly,” said Dobley. “It tr ng enh): aes e Sepe | get mie ae eS , rtf =| ae : . mete 2 Bl - : re ae Ns ae > s ee wy Se are Me SS Number of Persons Lyncked from January sth, 1897, to January 5th, 1898, . . : 2 + 18 Date.

THE PLANET SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1900 WAR REMINISCENCES LINCOLN HELPED HER. The death at the Rhode Island state institution for the insane of Nancy Scott, aged 70 years, which occurred during the last week of May. brings to memory a story of Abraham Lincoln which has never been published. Way back in slavery days Nancy Scott and her husband were slaves on a Virginia plantation owned by one of the prominent and wealthy F. F. V's of the commonwealth. Nancy was the trusted housekeeper of the family. While young she was married to a young slave on the same plantation. Her marriage occurred about the beginning of the civil war, and after the first few months of fighting her husband disclosed to her his intention of running away and working his way north, seeking a means of livelihood; he bade her remain where she was until he could communicate with her and said that when he became established where he was sure of supporting her he would send for her to go to him. Months went on, says the New York Sun, until one day a dusky little one came to Nancy's arms. When the baby was a year old Nancy decided to try and escape and travel north, hoping to hear some news of her baby's father. She left her cabin one night at nearly dawn, carrying her little one in her arms, and passed slowly across the country which was the fighting arena of more battles than any other territory in the south. She was trying to make her way to the Potomac river, and there, at some obscure landing, take a boat for Washington. Such a place she reached one hot day. When the boat arrived she went aboard, keeping as much out of the way of the passengers as she could. There was a group of men seated on the quarterdeck. Among them one whose lean, gaunt figure and dark, seamy face somewhat attracted her notice. When the boat neared Washington she left her place below among the freight and timidly went up to the gangway. The steamer had arrived at her dock and the passengers were leaving, but the group in which the dark, rugged man was seated had not yet dispersed. Nancy Scott went forward toward the gangplank, but before she had reached it the purser stepped forward and said, harshly: "Here, you, woman, where are you going? Where's your ticket?" Paralyzed with fear she hesitated. "You're a runaway nigger, and you can't go ashore; you go below and we'll see about you later." But the dark, seamy-faced man, with the tired eyes, came up then and said, quietly: "What is the matter?" The tears streamed down Nancy Scott's face as she said she only want- "TELL ME YOUR STORY." ed to go ashore; that she was searching for her husband, her little one's father. "Tell me your story," said the dark man. In simple words she told him of her separation from her husband, the birth of her child, her weeks of weary waiting, and the eyes of the dark man grew soft with pity. Turning to the purser, he said: "Let this woman go ashore." Then taking her by the arm he walked by her side until the street was reached. Giving her some money he told her to find some decent colored family and make inquiries for her missing husband. "Tell me your name, sir?" begged Nancy Scott. "My name, my good woman, is plain Abraham Lincoln," said the man, and turning away he lifted his hat "just like I was a grand lady," and left her. Nancy Scott, with the help of the pastor of a church for colored people, found her husband; he had vainly tried to communicate with her many times; he had not dared to go in search of her. He was employed in a hotel and able to care for his little family comfortably. Later he died, and Nancy found employment with the family of a treasury clerk, with whose family she came north. The Bright Tip: It is an old army story that tells how two men of the guard did so well that the adjutant was unable to decide tailed as orderly. Finally he found that the tip of the bayonet scabbard of one was cleaner and brighter than that of the other, whereupon he chose the man with the bright tip. Shod with Diamonds. "Did it ever occur to you," said a chemist, "what a remarkable and unique process the blacking of boots is? You see, we smear the boot with a preparation of boneblack, which is entirely devoid of luster, and then by the friction of a dry brush make it shine like the sun. There is not another process like this anywhere in the arts, so far as I know, and I never read anywhere any scientific explanation of the process. My solution of the seeming mystery lies in the fact that a diamond is nothing but crystallized carbon. The blacking is little more than carbon paste, and the friction of hair brush, being one of the most efficient methods of generating electricity, has the effect of crystallizing the carbon of the blacking. As soon as this is done the boot is covered with millions of infinitely small diamonds and of course begins to shine as a mass of diamonds would."—N. Y. Telegram. Touched His Heart The burglar had entered the house as quietly as possible, but his shoes were not padded, and they made some noise. He had just reached the door of the bedroom when he heard some one moving in the bed as if about to get up, and he paused. The sound of a woman's voice floated to his ears: "If you don't take off your boots when you come into this house," it said, "there's going to be trouble, and a whole lot of it. Here it's been raining for three hours, and you dare trump over my carpets with your muddy boots on. Go downstairs and take them off this minute." He went downstairs without a word, but he didn't take off his boots. Instead, he went straight out into the night again, and the "pai" who was waiting for him saw a tear glisten in his eye. "I can't rob that house," he said. "It reminds me of home."—N. Y. Journal. Tragedian! It was one day last winter when the theater-going public was all expectant over the coming of Sir Henry Irving. A gentleman sat in a barber's chair while the garrulous little tonorial artist fussed around. The gentleman knew the barber quite well; he also knew his weakness for things theatrical and so he was not surprised when the one-sided conversation turned to the subject of the stage. "Goin' to see Irving?" he queried between strokes of the razor. "Yes, I hope to," graciously responded the gentleman in the chair. "That's right," said the authority of the lather brush. "You don't want to miss him. He's the greatest living tradition to-day." — Detroit Free Press. A Suspended Railroad Between the towns of Elberfeld and Barmen, in western Germany, a remarkable elevated railroad is nearing completion, while part of it has been in operation for several months. The cars are suspended beneath the superstructure from a single rail on which run motor trucks attached to the car roofs, the motive power being electricity. Each car can accommodate 50 passengers, and the maximum speed, with a train of either two or four cars, is 25 miles an hour. The road, which is more than eight miles in length, crosses the Wupper river without interruption.—Youth's Companion. A Juvenile Optimist Says William J. Bryan: "If we hold what we had in 1896, and if we bring back the gold democrats, and if we gain large accessions from the republicans, the chances of victory for the democratic party ought to be good." Reminds us of a story. "Johnny," exclaimed the father to his stirring boy, "what are you running and jumping around the attic for?" "Catching mice, father," replied young hopeful. "How many have you caught?" "Well, when I catch the one I'm after and another I'll have two." "When Graveyards Yawn." "Did I hear young Mr. Sniffkins reciting to you in the parlor last evening? asked the old gentleman. "Yes, papa." "And did he say anything about when graveyards yawn?" Yes. "Well, you tell him for me that I don't blame the graveyard and that if he doesn't bring his sessions to an earlier close he'll have the whole family doing the graveyard act."—Chicago Post.

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 fatter you; you may rest assured you will gain facts without nonsense. She can be consulted upon all affairs of Life, Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friend, etc. with description of future companion. She is very a curate in describing missing friends, anemies, etc. Her advice upon sickness, change of business, law suits, journeys, contested wills, divorce and spaculation 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 full 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 hildren you have or will have; whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart she will tell you when you will have and his name, your date and date of acquaintance. All your friends and date of acquaintance. All your honest clear and plain manner and in accordance. Mother's should know the success of their husbands and children young ladies should know everything about the sweethearts or intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you knew all, do not let silly religious sorules prevent your consulting. Madame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME 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 every one who 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 is will be rehearsed by the Medium. To get the secret out or a position is the art used by many unprumped 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-fringers in our midst with oily tongues perhaps the gates of wisdom have not been closed to the entire profession. It takes a great deal of study to become an accomplished medium and by a continuous and untiring effort, the key to the well of apparently unfathom able mysteries has been secured by MRS. MARTH for the benefit of humanity. ADVICE BY LETTER, $1.00 HOURS FROM 10 A.M. TO 8 P.M. N & R Y. W Norfolk AND Western Virginia Union University. Wayland College. Richmond Theological Seminary.

The churn (h) sets in the box and the dasher is worked by a chain belt from a large sprocket wheel on the axle at rear end of machine. A barrel churn can also be used and so hung in the center as to be turned; with such, the dasher arrangement is not needed. The lead pole (j), keeps the horse or other motive power going round in a circle. —Ray Copeland, in Farm and Home. HANDLING CORN SHOCKS. Although It Is a Task of Far-Reaching Importance, But Few Perform It Well. The report of the Kansas state board of agriculture says where hand labor is plenty, the standard price for cutting corn by hand is five cents per shock, 14 by 14 hills square, without board, or 80 cents per acre, as there are 16 shocks of this size per acre. Corn should always be cut on bright, near days or on such a day as is good for cure hay in. Two men should work together, and the shocks should be started on a jack, which is made, by cutting two legs, well braced together, near one end of a ten-foot scanning, and having an auger hole near the upper end for a oroom handle. As soon as four armfuls are set up against the jack the shock should be closely tied with a stalk and the jack moved. As soon as the shocks have thoroughly cured, say two weeks after cutting, those that are to be stored on the barn should be baled under 1000 pounds pressure, and tied up with a wire (common hay-baling wire, wire will tie up two shocks), and those that are to be fed from the shed can be pulled up tight with rope and pulley and tied with binding twine; the twine should be saturated with coal oil to prevent mice and insects from destroying it. Eminent professors have agreed that it only makes one and one-half inches of rainfall to wash all traces of digestible matter out of a shock of alfalfa, and no shocks are also affected, but not so great a degree. They have also agreed that well-cured corn fodder, under a good roof without having any rain on it, is in every respect the same as ensilage, except the water content, and it is only necessary to cut it and add the water to se- food identical to ensilage with the cost of a silo, with its short life, and also without the 20 to 25 per cent. waste that mold causes in the corners of the silo -Prairie Farmer. What Butter Makers Want What Butter Makers Want. Some papers insist that the butternakers want to tax oleo out of existence, and are going too far, says the deporter. There should be no misapprehension on this point. The butterners do not ask that oleomargarine be taxed out of existence. On the contrary, the law they support reduces the tax on oleomargarine from two cents a pound to one-fourth cent, that they do ask is that oleomargarine, plus butter color, be taxed ten cents a pound, and they do this in order to render it impossible to sell it fraudulently as and for butter and at butter prices. It is assumed that some people really want oleo. The butternerman will put no straw in the way of their getting it, but will insist that they shall not be fooled into buying it for butter at butter prices. How Process Butter Is Made. Here is a description of process butter: "This butter is made from old, rancid and useless dairy butter, purchased from the country store keepers in the states farther west and shipped in old barrels, tobacco pails, shoe boxes, etc., which appetizing mess is put through a process of boiling and renovating to remove the nauseating odors and through other treatments which have brought it under the ban of the pure-food laws of several states, after which it is worked over in sweet buttermilk, which gives it temporarily a fairly clean flavor." See that this stuff is not worked off on you by your grocer. The "green" woods are full of it.—N. Y. Press. When a dog shows his teeth and anarsls you may be sure he's one of the cross breeds. LARGE MILK YIELDS. They Can Be Expected Only by Dairymen Who Know the Value of Regular Milking. Cows are creatures of habit, and the habits of their owners are reflected in their milk yield. The dairyman who milks his cows at a regular hour night and morning will secure an eighth or a tenth more milk with them than though there was a variation of an hour or two in the milking hours every day. A writer in the Indiana Farmer has seen this practically tested to his satisfaction on some large dairy farms in central New York. The methodical dairyman, "as regular as clockwork," came out ahead every time. Right now is the best possible time to put this rule of regularity into practice. Dairymen should make it a rule, say, to milk their cows at six o'clock in the morning and six o'clock at night. After this rule has been once established on the premises, it should be like the laws of the Medes and Persians, unalterable, and respected accordingly. It is such a common occurrence to let other farm duties interfere with the regular care and milking of cows that it may be hard to make some believe, who ought to know better, that strict adherence to method has anything to do with dairy success. It can safely be set down that if a man is conducting what he calls "mixed farming," and dairying is a part of the mixture, his cows can be made to pay more in proportion than any of his other agricultural interests. This will not be consummated, however, under ordinary care and usage. He must give his milch cattle extraordinary attention in order to reap the benefit of their full capabilities. This mixed farming business, of which dairying is supposed to form an integral part, is the cause of a whole lot of inferior cows, poor milk and butter, and meager profits. It is high time that dairying under such conditions should be regarded at its true worth, both for the profit of agriculture and the quality of milk products. Do not stop to hoe a five-cent hill of beans, when you should be milking a $50 cow, or one that would be worth $50 if she were milked regularly. Do not call to your assistance a mangy, worthless cur in driving up the cows, when every hurried step they take causes their blood to surge toward fever heat, and results in milk that will undergo dangerous fermentative changes very quickly. CURES EVERY TIME. A Little Device Which Effectually Prevents Cows from Consuming Their Own Milk. To prevent self sucking take two 1-inch boards 14 inches long, 6 inches at one end and 4 inches at other. Bore two holes at the 6-inch end, about 1 inch square, 2 inches from the end and side. Cut two sticks (b b), 18 inches long, sharpen them a little, large. enough to fit the two holes. Place the two boards (a a) side by side, and put the sticks (b b) through the holes, leaving 4-inch space between boards (a a). Fasten stakes (b b) securely with nails to prevent slipping. The device constitutes a yoke. Drop it over the cow's neck, make a hole at lower end of boards (c c) and tie with a stout cord. With this yoke on, the cow cannot get to her teats, as the ends of the sticks strike her in the side.—J. H. Van Ness, in Farm and Home. DAIRY AND LIVE STOCK. Young calves need water as well as milk these hot days. Set a painful over the fence in the yard and see them drink it down. Churning when you "get time," and churning at any and all degrees of ripeness of cream, account for the varying flavor of dairy butter. In summer time it may be well to stable a cow in a cool, dark stable, and allow her to spend the nights in the pasture, thus protecting her from the great annoyance of the flies. She needs to be comfortable to give milk of the best quality. Can you not manage to have a shelter of some sort for the calves? The flies are terrible. You realize this when they get on the top of your bald head. It will not cost much to fix up a little house for the calves and they will do all the better for it. A handful of grain in the feed boxes will bring the cows down early, and far more humanely, than any dog can do it. We believe in dogs in their place, but their place is not in the field with cows and sheep unless they know how to behave—Farm Journal. Keep Cows Away from Them Wild onions abound in many parts of the west, and the cows as well as children eat them. They are bound to injure the milk if eaten by the cows, for the reason that onions contain an oil that gets through the system of the cow and into the milk. There is a dispute as to whether ordinary food in a bad state can taint the milk, by passing through the cows, but all are agreed that onions and garlic do. Butter that is tainted with these oils can not sell well. It is not much of a task ridding pastures of these objectionable plants and it should be done.—Farmers' Review. Not a Flattering Thought Not aattering thought. Some people probably agree with you because it bores them less than your argument.-Chicago Daily News. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND VIRGINIA SOME COLD DESSERTS. They Require Little or No Cooking and Are, at the Sanite Time, Good and Wholesome. Pineapple fool is made by grating the fruit quite fine and adding sugar enough to sweeten. Drop a candied cherry or a small spoonful of jelly into the bottom of a punch glass and cover with the pineapple, when ready to serve, add a spoonful of whipped cream to each glass and put a candied cherry on top. Jelly may be substituted for the cherries, and the glasses after being filled should be placed on ice for 20 minutes. For cherry snowballs, select large red and white cherries, firm and ripe. After stoning them, roll each one in a soft ice made of confectioners' sugar and colored pink, for the white cherries, then roll them in freshly-grated cocoanut. Place on ice for a short time before wanted. Strawberry charlotte requires slices of sponge cake, with which a mold is lined, cover the bottom of the mold with crushed, sweetened strawberries, then fill with stiff whipped cream, which may be colored with strawberry juice. Put in the ice box until wanted, when it should be turned out on a glass dish. A dish that is pleasant to the eye as well as to the palate is made with a pineapple, four oranges, four bananas and cherries. Place in the center of a dish a pineapple, pared, cored and sliced, yet retaining as near as possible its original shape. Peel, quarter and take out seeds of the oranges; arrange in a border around the pineapple. Put the bananas into lengthwise slices and arrange zigzag fence fashion around the border of the dish. In the spaces put stones and sugared cherries. Whipped cream is poured over this, or clear sugar sirup flavored with a little brandy. Strawberry velvet takes a Little more time for preparation, as gelatine is required—a half ounce once dissolved in a gill of water; add to it a half-pint of sherry, grated lemon peel, the juice of one lemon and a quarter of a pound of sugar. Stir over the fire until the sugar is thoroughly dissolved strain and cool; before it sets heat into it a pint of cream. Half fill small molds with strawberries and pour the cream on top. Put on ice until needed. — St, Louis Globe-Democrat. LECTURES FOR MINERS. San Francisco Young Woman Will Try to Refine the Argonauts at Nome City. Miss Janne M. Long, a resident of San Francisco and a graduate of the Northwestern university at Evanston, Chicago's northern suburb, proposes to spend her summer vacation at Cape Nome and to give a series of entertainments there of higher order than is usually known in mining camps. Miss Long went to the Pacific coast a little over a year ago, where she engaged actively in educational work. Now she has been invited to the Nome camp by Capt. and Mrs. Howland, of Oakland, who have been successful in Alaskan mining, and she will make her home with them while in the north. She is under contract with a prominent Boston magazine to write her impressions about Nome. "The Cape Nome camp," said Miss Long, recently, "has attracted thou- LECTURING IN NOME CITY. sands of educated and refined persons, and these will undoubtedly appreciate the opportunity for entertainment that is above the plane of the dance hall and gambling den. I shall offer methods by which the cultured may obtain relaxation from the actual mining work without frequenting the places that they would not think of visiting at home. "My attention was recently called by eastern connections to the fact that in all Bret Harte's literature about the mining camps there is no allusion to any form of entertainment above the dance hall level. I intend to ascertain whether the lower forms of amusement can retain educated patrons, even in the frontier and mining settlements, when something is offered that is thoroughly entertaining and amusing." Miss Long will not return to San Francisco until August or September. How to Wash Summer Silks How to wash summer silks. To wash summer silks remove all grease or other spots with soap and water before proceeding. Make a solution of a teaspoonful of ammonia and a little soap in a pail of water, and in this dip the silk again and again until the dirt is removed. Do not wring out, but press between the hands. Rinse in water from which the chill is gone, and hang in a shady place until partly dry, then lay between two cloths and press with a hot iron. Half a Century a Teacher.

Military Halifax. There are just three cities in North America that have a foreign atmosphere. They are New Orleans, with its French quarter; Quebec, with its frowning fortifications, reminding one of Ehrenbreitstein, and its wonderful patio, and Halifax, with its British garison, which gives a dash of red to the streets, the public parks, the theaters and other places of amusement. Tommy Atkinson is greatly in evidence in Halifax. The high privates, corporals and sergeants stroll with the nursemaids in the public gardens. The officers are conspicuous at the clubs, at dances and other social affairs. "Oh, how I love you, Tommy Atkinson," is strictly true of Halifax. It would seem a dull little place without the military. At the same time it is believed that Halifax would be of far more commercial importance if less time were given to society and more to business. A commercial traveler once told me that Halifax was his bête noir. The men whom he wanted to "drum" were difficult to find in their business places, because they had engagements with Capt. or Col. or Maj. So-and So at the club. -Gustav Kobbe, in Truth. A Cool Dog. When a cat lies with her back to the store it is a sign of a storm, but when a dog lies on a piece of ice no one knows what to predict. The unusual spectacle of a dog spread at full length upon a cake of ice attracted a full share of attention on Eleventh street the other day. The ice had been left before a store door early in the morning, and cool rivulets were trickling from it to the gutter. The dog waddled languidly up the street, his tongue hanging out and his tail between his legs, the sorriest victim of heat to be seen in a day's tramp. He looked at the ice, came nearer, sniffed at it with evident enjoyment, then in raptures of delight ran his tongue over its cool surface. As a cat capers in catnip the dog capered around the ice. Then he turned twice and stretched himself upon it. Many a passer-by seemed to envy him his cool position—Philadelphia Press. East India Marine Hall. Salem, Mass., is the home of this building, which contains collections of the Essex institute and of the East India Marine society. The scientific cabinets of the Essex institute are extensive and well-arranged, and the collections of the Marine society include many curiosities from oriental countries and other distant nations. Among the numerous curiosities is a piece of wood carving in the form of two hemispheres $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches in diameter, in the concavities of which are carved representations on the one hemisphere of Heaven and on the other of hell. There are 110 full-length figures in the carving, and the whole is very skillfully executed. It is said to be the work of an Italian monk of the fourteenth century.-Detroit Free Press. Florida Oranges. Besides the fine cultivated orange trees of Florida, which have been improved from the native stock, there are yet thickets of thorny wild orange trees in the southern lake region of that state. The fruit of these is coarse and sour and of no value. The origin of them dates some three centuries ago. Before some Spanish invader in Ponce de Leon's force carelessly dropped the seeds of one of the last oranges the company had brought on the long voyage to guard against scurvy, the tree was unknown in America.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Rye House. The Rye house, located between London and Newmarket, is a frequent resort of anglers from London.

Spal pattition given to signe opher mate- era in relation plas. to re THE PLANET Virtues of Stilia. Shepherds in the south of France have long been noted for their use of stilts in their occupation. The peasant of the "Landes" with a pair of stilts securely fastened to his legs, standing frequently more than six feet from the ground, will move about with great rapidity. Recently the military value of these stilts has been recognized. After some drill on these artificial supports, French infantry were able to move very rapidly and lay a telegraph line quicker than can be done by soldiers on horseback. Once the men acquired the art of walking six feet above the ground they were able to employ their hands as people ordinarily do in walking and covering the ground with giant strides, soon accomplished a distance which would require much longer time on foot. The advantage of these stilts in military operations having been demonstrated in France, it is probable other nations may also apply the novel idea. The utility of this apparatus in crossing rivers or in marshy lands is obvious, and it might not be a bad idea for the American army in the Philippines to take to the "stilt drill." Detroit Free Press. A Long Credit. A discharged soldier, lately returned from the Philippines, tells a tale of a shirt which is too good to be lost. His company was returning from a long and tiresome scouting trip, in which most of the men had parted with the greater part of their wearing apparel, when he saw a clothesline in the grounds of a residence adjoining a big stone church, two very good shirts, hung out to dry. As he had at the time only half a shirt on his back, he proceeded to help himself to a whole one. Whereupon a woman came out of the house, and said to him, in passable English: "You will pay for that on the judgment day." "Madam," he replied, "if you will give such long credit, I will take both shirts," which he proceeded to do."—San Francisco Argonaut. Peculiarity of the Merganser the merganser. The merganser is a species of fsh-duck of great beauty of plumage, common in the Adirondacks. Senator George Chahoon, who has studied the birds of this region for many years, notes a habit of the merganser which he thinks is unique, and he is surprised that ornithological writers have not recorded it—the males are entirely migratory, and the females are not. "For more than 20 years," says Mr. Chahoon, "I have seen female mergansers on the Ausable river all winter, and I have frequently seen them on the other Adirondack rivers; but I have never seen a male merganser in the winter, and in the late fall the males and females gather in separate flocks, and when the male mergansers appear in the spring they are always in flocks by themselves."-Youth's Companion. Should Have Rung: The stranger knocked upon the door. The human clod who lived within threw open the portal with a sulphurous exclamation of anger. "I am Opportunity," began the stranger. "I knock once at each—" "Yes," interrupted the man, fiercely, "and you've scratched the paint. What do you suppose the bell-pull's for?" Thereupon he slammed the door in the stranger's face. — Standard and Times. Height of Stupidity. "Some men are so stupid," said the summer girl. "Do you mean to tell me," asked the other summer girl, "that he hasn't proposed yet?"

Filipino Cannon. Three curious water pipe cannon, which were actually used by the Filipinos against the Americans in the late campaign, have just been lent to the museum of the Royal United Service institution.

Some women deify, while others defy fashion, the former having an "''" for that sort of thing—Detroit Journal. Effect of Civilization. A Chinaman, Lum Chung, was employed in a Portland canning factory. He provided himself with a Winchester rifle, and during his leisure hours learned to shoot well. He has only one eye, and so was not bothered about shutting the other when he took aim, a thing which often troubles novices in marksmanship. A few years ago Lum Chung went home to China and stained there some time. While there he went one day with two friends to sell a lot of hogs, for which they received a considerable sum of money. Eight robbers, who had secured information of what business they were in, followed them in a boat to rob them. Lum Chung pumped lead into the gang with his Winchester till he killed seven of them, and allowed the other to escape, that he might carry the news to the remainder of the gang, and strike terror to the souls of the heathen. Napoleon said that, if ever the Chinese learned the art of war, other nations would do well to stand under, and if many of them are like Lum Chung Napoleon was right.—Portland Oregonian. Out-Tipped. A determined woman from the west visited Washington not long ago for the purpose of interviewing a member of the cabinet on a subject of interest to her. She called, as it happened, just at the time when the frauds in the Cuban postal department were made public, and the majority of the president's advisers, absorbed in considering the matter, had given instructions that they were not to be disturbed. "So you refuse to take my card to the secretary?" asked the determined lady of the messenger. "It would be against my orders, and I don't dare to," replied the messenger, politely. The visitor turned away in high dudgeon, but a happy thought occurred to her, and she retraced her steps. "Here, my man," she said, insinuatingly, "here is 50 cents. Now will you take my card in?" "I'm paid a bigger salary than that to keep your card out, madam," responded the darky, shaking his head.—N. Y. Tribune. Is the Queen a Royal O'Connort The queen is of the old Irish royal strain. She is not only a Guelph and a Stuart, she is one of the royal O'Connors. The last Irish sovereign of the whole island was Roderick O'Connor. His sons were slain. His daughter married Hugo de Lacy. Their daughter married a De Burgh, earl of Ulster; from them descended Ellen, wife of Robert Bruce, king of Scotland. The granddaughter of Robert Bruce, Princess Margery, married the lord high steward of Scotland, and through her the Stuart's claimed the Scottish crown.

RICHMOND VIRGINIA The Old Reliable Richmond Beneficial Insurance Company Has the Best Record of any of the Companies in the State of Virginia. It is on the most solid foundation. Her obligations are met promptly and squarely. There is not a single company of its kind, white or colored, that can compare with our company in membership faithfulness to duty number of claims and the amount of money expended. This company is here to stay. Her 40 000 members in Virginia, District of Columbia and other states guarantee her permanent existence. Is it the best company to put your money in. Have you heard anybody say that we o not pay our claims? Is it not a fact that we have paid you when other companies have deceived you? This is why we have a larger membership in Richmond than all the other companies i-s put together. Whatever changes are made in our By-Laws as to sick claims are made in our By-Laws. Think of it that under our new rule if a person gets a sick who pays ten cents a week and remains sick for a year they draw out of the company $80.00. SOMETHING TO BEMEMBER. Remember this is done though you pay only $5.40 a year in the company. What other company promises to do this much for you in one year for ten cents? We practice no tricks on our members. We do not limit them to any certain number of weeks in one year. We do not say that after you receive a certain amount for sick dues that thereafter you are never to receive the full amount again.
