COLORED TROOPS DO GOOD SERVICE. Bravery and Endurance Noted. A GRAPHIC DISCRIPTION. SAN MARCELINO, P. I., Sept. 20, 1900. The week has been quite eventful. The programmes of the Y. M. C. A. have been hampered by the enemy, who have made themselves manifest by an attack on Olingapoo, the naval station of Subig Bay, 9 miles from Subig, by harassing scouting parties from San Antonio, by digging trenches in San Marcelino, by tearing up bridges near Subig, by cutting the wires on both sides of San Antonio. On Saturday night the wires were kept hot from Cabbanaan, South Massorco. The insurgents were reported in the province and an attack on Subig. San Antonio or San Marcelina threatened. The necessary precautions were taken. Word was received at Castillejos that the enemy was tearing up bridges between that place and Subig Lieut. Lyone commanding company K, set out with 50 men of that company to see how much truth the story contained. When in the famous Subig pass, Corporal Turner commanding the advanced guard, walked up within two feet of a Gugn, who had been chased by Lieut. Martin, and snatched his rifle. The humble immediately released his hold and depended on the fleetness of foot to spare him out of harm way. The boys then opened up and when the firing ceased, two of the enemy had answered their last call. The captured gun probed to be a brand new Remington rifle. THE BOOMING OF CANNON. At daybreak, those in Subig and Gas tillejoe could hear the low booming of heavy guns and the occasional tat, tat, tat of the rapid fire guns. At Olangapoo the naval station of Subig Bay, the fight lasted at intervals from 8 to 5 hours. On Saturday right Lieut. Hall reported the enemy lying across the river, south of San Antonio. On Sunday night they cut the wire on both sides of San Antonio, but would not cross the swift flowing stream where the gallant Foster lost his life. On Monday night, Corporal Lickis and Sergeant Williams moved out from here with a detail and repaired the wire. WENT TO MEET THEM. On Tuesday, Lance Corporal Porter, with a detachment of the 2nd Battalion, mounted scouts, moved out to reconnoiter the insurgents' position. The latter retired as the former advanced. When the Americans started to return down hill, the enemy opened fire from the summit with from 200 to 300 rifles and the handful of the former (15, beast a haasty retreat to San Antonio. Reinforcements were sent for to Castillejos and Corporal Jones, K and 4 were mounted on ponies, hastened here and jined Corporal Jones I, with 7 men on ponies and started for San Antonio. 45 minutes later, Lieut. Lyon, with 28 men of K, dismounted, passed through enroute to the reported scene of action. At 8:30, Corporal Jones, K, returned, bringing the news of Porter's reconnaissance and said the situation was not critical. He left 20 minutes later for Castillejos. All is now quiet. The insurgents stay within two miles of San Antonio. Upon our approach they withdraw into the recesses of the mountains. Lieut. Lyon and detachment returned to-day to Castillejos. An humbre was caught completing a trench in the banks of the creek that flows through the town by Private Kmorick, B, while hunting chickens. The matter was reported to Lieut. Deiss, who visited the scene of action and found out the full particulars. Lieut. Deiss speaks Spanish fluently and had no trouble in ascertaining the motive, which was no doubt the protection of his family. STAFF CORRESPONDENCE. Have you paid the collector or did you tell him to call again? Please, pay promptly, the money is needed. WIRES BUSY The week has been eventful. Last Thursday Sept. 27th the evening atter considerable threatening they thought they would take a crack at San Antonio. At the very time they were less thought of they sneaked into the surrounding yards and houses and at a given signal began throwing tremendous volleys into the quarters of the tired soldiers, who though taken by surprise displayed coolness and waited to see if the enemy would appear on the pizza. Considerable difficulty was experienced in getting across to the filing line by the owner's Seation, around the quarters of which the bullets were falling like so much heil but they finally managed to cross under the heavy fire and took their places. Fortunately no one was hit. BULLETS FIRED LOW. The bullets were low and well directed, the short from field stove was penetrated through and through as well as a boiler and a baking pan. The insurrection seems to have started anew with greater interest. water interest. On the South Island, Simaloan a bit alation composed of 50 men each from Company "L" 15th and Company "L" 37th Regiment of Infantry 100 in all attacked the French Mastizo General Oailes who had 800 riflemen situated in almost impregnable mountain recesses. It appears according to counts that the enemy had been badly underestimated and in water waist deep the Americans were met by a terrible fire. MANY KILLED AND WOUNDED Captain Mitchell and a Corporal of the 15th Infantry and 22 enlisted men were killed or missing and 19 wounded. The Americans were forced, to retire for reinforcements and the gunboat Florida shelled the hills till the enemy retired out of range and unfurled Filipino flag on the trenches. Two American prisoners were rescued by the command according to the Manila Times say that Aguinaldo was said to be in communication with the Democratic candidate for President of the United States who urges him to fight until after his election, and that their (the Fillipino's) friends in America would arm them with artillery as they had already done with small arms. FILIPINO ATTACKED THEM. The enemy attacked 12 men at wagon on guard of the 24th Infantry a few miles from San Isidrode Guerra Esaju. The small detachment put up a good fight but was scattered by overwhelming numbers and five men killed or captured. An officer with 40 men went to the rescue but was also forced to retire. An expedition was finally organized and sent out against the enemy which hastily drove them off. All of the 12 were from Co. C, 24th Infantry.—Manila Times. The enemy attacked Guiguinto in Pampanga Province, where 40 men of the 3rd Infantry are stationed. The garrison laid low till the enemy was in close range then poured in several deadly volleys. The Insurgents hastily retreated leaving eight dead on the field among whom was recognized two well known Amigos (friends) to the Americans.—(Manila Times.) WAS IN RICHMOND ONCE.

Be ready for our special Christmas edition. Nor heeded the throng passing by. For my mind was absorbed in the ascene Which enthralled my admiring gaze The gold and the gold and the azure gaze So distant yet mixed in a haze. 'Twas a sunset which I did behold. So enchanting so a ruggedly grand The tints and the shades so delicately bold That I wished that ever might stand ; Thought I knew that the shifting might bring Still loveliar ones into view. Which dissolving from view and do birds in the wing. Show others of yet richer hue. And I thought of new realms, of the heavenly birth When the spirit shall regain its goal Then I looked on the face of the lake, And it too was covered with gold, Refiling the sky, and earth, tilt, and Reflecting the sky and each tint and each flake Of the soft clouds, the warm and the cold. And thought it might thus be with men Whose bodies are bound unto earth. No brightness not goodness are in them save when They're refisting a Greater One's worth; His ways. And all shall his powers serve. The U S. Battleship, Kentusky At Gibraltar Spain, and Algiers, Al- Starting from the outlet harbor of New York on Thursday, Oct. 21st, we encountered bleasant weather until Wednesday, 31st when 990 miles out a gale came on us. Happily we had secured everything above and below decks, for had our vessel been a light one, instead of heavy we would have been toasted about considerably. As it was we lost a life boat, catamarans and several logs. On Saturday, Nov. 3rd, we arrived at St. Michael's Island, one of the Asores belonging to Portugal, and anchored off the quaint little town of Ponta Delgado. After sending a cablegram to Washington and ensuring some fresh fruit and flesh we resumed our way and passed through the St. of Gibraltar on Wednesday a.m. /tb. We came to anchor outside of the breakwater at the mammoth rock of Gibraltar. A person seeing the rock for the first time may well exclaim: "How great art they works O Lord," for it is truly one of the world's wonders. With the military town of Gibraltar at its base, it rises on the Southern side gradually to a height of over 12 000 feet; while on the Northern side it rises abruptly. The highest point on which is the signal tower is 14 000 feet in height. It is the strongest fortress in the world, garrisoned by 5000 English troops and with a battery of 800 guns. One has to obtain a pass to look through the town. The gates close at 7 p. m then no passing in or out until 7 a. m. The town dates its existence from the 14th century. Is originally belonged to Moro then to Spain, and now by right of conquest to England. We left Gibraltar en route to Algiers Saturday 10th. We sighted several large waterspouts at sea Sunday a. m. We met heavy weather Sunday p. m. and evening but arrived safely at Algiers, Monday a. m. This is an ancient but an up-to-date town. All languages are spoken fluently excepting English and German. We are now soaking ship and shall leave for Naples, Italy on Friday. We expect to arrive at Hong Kong, China, Jan 14th, 1901. We heard of the election by cablegram on the 7th. Nestling down in a quiet little valley of the Alleghany Mountains four miles west of Clifton Forge is Low Moor one of the largest iron furnaces of the state having an output of over 800 toos of crude iron per week constitute the main industry of the places. A number of the furnace men did not work Thursday that they might give thanks to the Almighty for blessings boundfully bestowed. The Low Moor Cornet band serenaded the town and then went to Clifton Forge where they were pleasantly received and feasted on the best the town could afford. Several of the boys won turkeys and chickens at the shooting match in East Low Moor. Rev. O. G. Butler has moved down in town to the nice little dwelling owned by Mr. H. L Richardson. We are glad to have the Reverend among us. Mr. S. T. Morris, engineer at the mines was down a few days ago and promised to subliebe to the PLANET for a year. Bro.

HUCLES' GREAT SUCCESS. His Flock Well Pleased. Rev. M. B. Hulcs, the subject of this sketch has just completed his first year's work as pastor of the Pine St. baptist Church, Suffolk, Va., with great success. He was called to this church Dec. 9th, 1899 and took charge on the Second Sunday with a bright and encouraging outlook. He stated that he was coming to Suffolk for the purpose of making friends with everybody, irrespective of denomination, creed or opinion that he might win them for Christ. This fact has been plainly demonstrated by the flattering success of his work, and the position he occupies not only in his own church but as a Christian worker for Christ. Taken out the guy every charitable cause introduced, he has encouraged and supported, and persuaded his people to do the same. His people have solidly, with un broken ranks, stood by him and held up his hands in every project he has undertaken. HOLDS THEIR ESTEEN. This is not all, by his straight forward Christian business demeanor he has won the honor and esteem of all the people of the city. Since he has been here he has taken at times his entire congregation and goes not only to the Baptist Church, but to the churches of other denominations and helped them in their struggles notwithstanding the fast his church building was not paid for. His first object after taking charge was to organise his church into clubs to do effectual systematic Chrls- Charles E. King, Co. Ring in Voe. REV. M. B. HUCLES. tian and benevolent work. His church also has a flourishing society of the B. Y. P. U Strong young Christians working for Christ's kingdom. The Beacon Light Club is worthy of especial mention by their efforts they have painted and frescoed the interior of the church, covered the floors with new carpets, and given the church a new pulpit suit. Even the good white friends of Richmond have shown their regard for the pastor and people by presenting the church with a handsomely bound Bible and hymn book. MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR. The church has a great deal to be thankful for since their organization in 1881. They have been in debt, but never losing courage in themselves, or faith in God, they have valiantly and with perseverance struggled with their debt. They have built two churches, the last one worth about $3,000. They have succeeded under the leadership of their present pastor, with the assistance of friends far and near in paying off the last dollar on their church building. There is not a church in this state with more Christian unity, love and interest than this church. The pastor officers in every department, members of the entire church are in harmony and accord. The church congratulates themselves upon their spiritual success this year, about twenty-seven souls have been added to the church. The pastor closed his first year's work by baptising twelve converts, and in and in addition a strong appeal comes not only from his church unanimously but in the meeting, sinners and friends petitions that Rev. Hucles should return, being assured of their hearty support. THIRIR APPRECIATION EXPRESSED. The church and the people of suffolk in general being desirous of express their appreciation of the true worth of their honored pastor have decided to celebrate the 9th anniversary of the church, with the first anniversary of the pastor. The church will be arisa- tically decorated with flowers. Rev. Gaines of the First Baptist Church and Rev. J. J. Woodson of Richmond, a friend of the pastor will presach the anniversary sermons, other addresses will be made upon this occasion by Hon. Jordan Thompson, Profs. Pierce and Brown, Messrs B. B. Elliott, Sunt. F. Larkins.

Rev. Hueles was born in Richmond, Va., July 6 h. 1869, is now in his 92nd year. He attribute his success as pastor to the instruction he received under instructions of the Richmond Theological S minary. Two Fine Entertainments Held in Manchester, Va. On the night of the 28th, Samaritan Hall, corner 8th and Hull streets was the scene of a brilliant affair. Two weeks prior to the occasion, the fine invitation (printed by the PLANER) had been sent to all parts of the city and the fortunate one looked forward to a grand time. It was the second annual soiree of the Dorian Social Club of Manchester, Va. It was the grandest time of its career. At 8:30, carriages could be seen wending through the thoroughfares of the city, and at 9 the guests, lovely attired in rich costumes were seen in the place of enjoyment. Amusements of all kinds were indulged in until 12 o'clock, when all were ushered to the table where the delicacies of the season were prepared to suit the appetite. When the small hours of night rolled in, the guests departed for their several homes, over-pleased. Mr. John Graham, president; Mr James Randolph, segregary. Thanksgiving night, the 29th, ushered into existence the third annual soiree of the Likoma Social Club of Manchester, Va. The scene of this great display was at Samaritan Hall. The rumbling of the carriages as they passed up Hull street took the eyes of all. Long before the guests arrived, the hall was brilliantly lighted and every thing looked pleasant. At 9:15 all had gathered into the place of amusement and the young ladies dressed, the young ladies attired in costumes and flowers made a beautiful sight to behold. The chat-chat and other amusements lasted until midnight, when the grand man was begun and all went the heavily ladened table to relieve it of its burdens. All ate to the satisfaction of the inner man. The president made a few elquent remarks and John R. Cogbill, after a few words of encouragement, introduced Mr. Walter Young of Richmond. He electrified the entire guest and his speech was punctuated with repturous applause. Mr. George W. Lewis spoke elquently at the second table, as did Mr. Mosby of Richmond. It was 4 when the much-pleased guests returned home with a smiling countenance. Mr. Joseph Robinson, president; Mr. Nathaniel Allen, secretary. Mrs. Susanna Holmes, widow of the late Rev. James H.

With all its remarkable monuments in stone and tributes in bronze, Arlington contains nothing more striking than the memorial that has just been erected over the bones of the battleship Maine's men. It is a huge, old-fashioned anchor, probably made a century ago, and recovered from the deep near Boston harbor. This relic of the sea is roughly welded out of iron, with an immense wooden crossbar, and, as it reposes above Capt. Sigbee's brave fellows, rears itself ten feet in the air. It rests on a spacious concrete base, raising it from the level of the hundreds of mounds, and can be seen from the Potomac outlined against the sunset sky. Very appropriately the huge anchor, with its eloquent inscription, is flanked on either side by a ponderous looking Spanish mortar of antique bronze and showing the signs of great age. The mortars are mounted on low pliers of masonry, and, though either would be imposing in itself, they appear diminutive in comparison with the giant anchor. -Chicago Chronicle. Sugar Little Used in France One reason why the French people consume so little sugar is because their ways of living require less of that article. For the great mass of the French people breakfast consists of a bowl of soup, which is also frequently a part of the other two meals. Their drink is wine, and, as they use but little tea or coffee, especially in the country, there is scarcely any demand for sugar. They make neither preserves nor cake in the family. The usual dessert is fruit and cheese. The high tax of five cents per pound on sugar is pretty fully paid by the well-to-do people, who live in cities and who take coffee or chocolate for breakfast and a small cup of black coffee after dinner.—Chicago Chronicle. Bear Worshipping Degrasing Bear Worshipers Decreasing. The curious Ainu race, which originally occupied the whole of the island of Yezo, is rapidly vanishing before the influx of Japanese emigration. According to recent investigations they now only number some 16,000, and in a few more decades they will probably be totally absorbed. They are the hairstyle race in the world, are flithly dirty in their habits and terribly addicted to drunkenness. They worship bears and snakes, and in some cases live in caves like the troglodytes of the Red sea. Their skeletons have many peculiarities in common with those of the ancient cave men found in European strata.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Myatified.

TRADE-MARK. BEFORE. AFTER. Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through fortune circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence 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. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these apurions compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics.

Mrs. Jobson stepped out briskly, and Mr. Jobson clomped along after her without say- ing anything. “The morning air is so sweet and pure, isn’t it?” inquired Mra, Job- son. “Uh-huh,” replied Mr, Jobson, still looking half asleep. “Great.” They followed the car tracks. After awhile Mr, Jobson’s face assumed an alt Lig expression of do-or-die determination, and he began to forge ahead at a great rate. Mrs. Jobson, however, had no difficulty in keeping alongside of him, which fact caused him to look at her ont of the slants of his eyes. By the time they had reached. the iron ridge over Rock ereek, Mr, Job- son was puffing and snorting and per- spiring most amazingly, while Mrs. Jobson was going easily and looked trim and as coo} as a seltzer lemonade. ‘Then Mr. Jobson began to slow up and to exhibit signs of leg weariness. A heavy scowl spread over his red face ‘as he trudged on, and he mopped his dripping brow ferociously. Mrs, Job- ‘son didn't look at him, but tripped out ‘ahead of him, humming. sweetly. as she walked. Mr. Jobson was plainly “all out to ‘the last ounce,” as the hotkemen say, when they refghed the Bate to‘the Zoological park, and he came to a dead halt. “Well?” inquired Mrs. Jobson, gtop- ‘ping’ fo look behind. | Mr. Jobson made no reply whatso- ever, but gazed-up the track at a trol- ley. ear approaching from Chevy Chase. “Are you golng back? asked Mrs. Jobson. Mr. Jobson only stared at her. When the car drew up, however, he swung ox boart, and Mrs. Jobson followed him. Mr. Jobson didn't say a word umtil they got home. ‘Then he glow- ered upon Jobson and growled: “If you ever mange ito dig me.out of bed again at half-past three on a chilly morning and hike me of ts milea on a country rond before I've ‘had anything to eat you'll just be the ‘lass A champion of your class—that’s all I've got to say!"—Washington Star. ~ Sastinea, A tallor {s justified in giving his eustomers fits occasionally.—Chicago Daily News, é3@amn “There are no statues of women in the Hall of Fame: “No; they couldn't bulld a hall big snough for al! the famous women in the eountry.”—Chicago Record, THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND VIRGINIA.

The distance to be run was about five English miles, and the prizes offered were a gold watch and chain, a silver watch and chain, Gold bracelets and sums of money. ‘wenty-seven women were entered for the race and one was started every five minutes, Thousands of persons lined the streets and roads, greeting th competitors with ironical cheers. ‘The police hac much trouble in keep- ing the course clear and to preserve order. Agents at different points con- trolled the race, and cyclists accom- panied the runners, Of the starters, 25 reached the goal, a village outside the capital, The winner of the gold watch accomplished the distance in one hour and ten minutes.

It was started by an American school- teacher who was wont to invite young girls to her home once a week for in- formal conversation on some topic. The outgrowth was a full-fledged club of 34 members, most of them being Ha- waiians, with a mixture, however, of Chinese and Portuguese.

[Holmes, (colored) entered suit against the Water Power Co. of Spokane, Washington (state) for refusing to serve him at a restaurant owned by the company. The damages asked were $5,000. The jury brought in a verdict in favor of the company. This is right far the North to witness such an exhibition of race prejudice, but it shows that evil, travels rapidly. --- CONGRESSMAN KITCHEN of NORTH CAROLINA had this affrontery on Wednesday last to offer in the House of Representatives a constitutional provision to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Thus may he seen the evident disposition to further oppress the citizen of color even in a state where every right of citizenship has been taken away from him by force and fraud. This congressman should go where his name implies he belongs. THE WHIPPING POST The introduction of the whipping post at Newport News, Va., is a plain violation of the law and should not be elicited. If the jailer there has such power then the jailer in each and every county and municipality is clothed with similar power. There is but one institution which uses the lash lawfully and that is the Virginia Penitentiary. The colored man in the case cited may have deserved it, but the law must be changed before he could be punished in the barbarous manner as set forth in the daily reports. All civilized communities have outawed the lash as being inhumane and cruel. It does more harm than it does good, brutalizing all classes, both the vicious and the good. If the man who wielded the weapon of barbarity could have had a few stripes on his own back, we think that his views would have changed and the reasons of the humanitarians upon this subject corvineingly set forth by the smarting pains in his own flesh. Let us have no whipping-post in Virginia! PLAIN ADVIOE. COLORED men, those of us who live on the Southland should be careful of our conduct, and not despair. The situation now is such as to arouse the worst antagonism and resort to the most extreme measures. The world knows what a race driven to desperation will do. It seems that our enemies never tire in their unceasing desire to goad and oppress us. It makes our burdens heavier, and the resentment felt almost too much, longer to suppress. It is our religion which has enabled us to undergo all of these years of oppression. We have been robbed, beaten, uttered, burned at the stake and maligned; yet, we have increased and many of us are smiling. A crime committed by a colored person is magnified and made to appear ten-fold worse than a crime committed by a white person. Still, we must be extra polite and obliging to both white and colored persons. We should above all things teach our children politeness and drill them in the little courtesies which tend to make for them friends. Boorishness and ill-manners should be avoided. We must cultivate individual friendships among the white people, and especially among those of an influential kind. They will serve a good purpose when the days of our adversities are upon us. That we have been doing this is evident by the friendliness shown towards us by some of the best white people in this land. It is evident that the Negro-haters know this for they have felt the weight of disapproval on the part of some of the most chivalric of our white people. Then, let us save our earnings, get education, buy land, engage in business, wear a smiling countenance and be a "Chesterfield" in good manners, and the dawn of our prosperity in this country will be assured. ANOTHER INF AMOUS D SOISION. THERE is hardly a citizen of color, uninfluenced by the powers that be, but what will agree with Bishop H. M. TURNER in his denunciation of the Supreme Court of the United States. In a decision rendered in the appeal case of the Chesapeake & Ohio R. R. against the state of Kentucky as to the right of that commonwealth to interfere with trains passing through the state, that august body ignored the constitutional points raised by counsel for the railroad company, sustained the state's contention and announced that the carrying of an extra coach for local travel would conform to the law. This is akin to the infamous decision of Chief Justice TANEY, that colored men have no rights which white men are bound to respect. It announces that colored men need expect no recognition from that quarter, and that money spent, and time employed are thrown away. For our part, we would not attempt to test the constitutionality of any act before any such tribunal. We would sooner take the IG Crow Car law before our own Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia than to carry it to a body from which we expect justice and are awarded injustice. Justice HARLAN of Kentucky keeps to a high standard and does not hesitate to dissect in all cases which are brought before that body, and which involves the sacrifice of human rights. MR MOKINLEY'S MESSAGE. PRESIDENT McKINLBY's message has been transmitted to congress. It is a lengthy document and embraces a close analytical review of the existing conditions in this country and its dealings with nations abroad. It is more in the nature of a voluminous record than an essay, and gives no one much of an opportunity to attack anything which he has seen fit to say. The course of the government in dealing with the Chinese question is well-nigh above criticism from an American standpoint. Hia references to the lynching of Italians at Tallahas, Louisiana, is timely and to the point. He recommends that Congress make an appropriation for the purpose of indemnifying the families and heirs of the victims of the lynchers' fury. He also recommends that the federal courts be given juridiction in such cases. President McKinley "rings the changes" on his reference to lynching in his inaugural address. It is at follows: "Lynching must not be tolerated in a great and civilized country like the United States; courts, not mobs, must execute the penalties of the law. The preservation of public order, the right of discussion, the integrity of courts, and the orderly administration of justice must continue forever the rook of safety upon which our government securely rests." He remarks: "This I most urgently reiterate and again invite the attention of my countrymen to this reproach upon our civilization." His reference to the indemnity due United States citizens by Turkey and the good disposition of the Sultan with reference to the payment partakes of the nature of the humorous. The prosperity shown to have found an abiding place in this country is gratifying. The Message will please the country and awaken no antagonisms of a kind to provoke discussion or produce ill-feeling. Restrained From Cremating a Body. New York, Dec. 5.—The widow of George Everall, who died on Nov. 30, 1900, has been restrained by an order just issued by Justice Blanchard from cremating the body of her late husband, to prevent its being buried beside his first wife. A previous injunction restrained the widow, Katherine Everall, from making any disposition whatever of the body of her husband. It was secured on the application of Harry J. Everall, Florence E. Mannegan and Annie E. Archer, the three children of the couple. In an affidavit Everall says that Mr. Everall, Sr., during his life constructed a vault in Woodlawn and requested the son to see that he was buried there beside his first wife. Pending a final order of the court the body will remain in the receiving vault. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND VIRGINIA PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE The president's message at the beginning of the second session of the Fifty-sixth congress, which was read in both houses Monday, is a document of 20,000 words. An abstract follows: Touching upon the possible inability of China to pay a sufficient money indemnity, the president says: "I am disposed to think that due compensation may be made in part by incursions in rights and immunities, and, most important of all, by the opening of China to the equal commerce of all the world. These views have been and will be earnestly advocated by our representatives." The degree of views in the negotiations the president favorably inclines to Russia's suggestion that the matter of indemnities be relied upon the court of arbitration at The Rague. In touching upon the Paris expedition the message devotes a congratulatory note to the French nation in being not only the largest foreign display, but among the earliest in place and best arranged and more completely corroborated of any other nation, ranking next in total number after those of France itself. The awarding of a larger number of prizes in the negotiations in the other nation is accepted, and striking recognition of the merits of the exhibits. Our Trade With Germany. Uncertainty is expressed as to the prospect of our well nigh extinguished German trade under the new burden of the meat inspection law and the confident is expressed that further regulations will be free from past discriminations. The speedy and complete establishment of the German title under the Russo-American treaty for the cession of Alaska is recommended in view of the possibility of friction in the treaty and the need to end. Taking the lynching of Italian at Tulah as a text, the president renews recommendations that federal courts have jurisdiction in international cases where the government may be involved. The president advises in conclusion that congress make gracious provisions for indemnity from the same form and proportion as heretofore. Satisfaction is expressed at the formal notification of the ratification of The Treaty of Belgium, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Italy, Persia, Portugal, Roumania, Russia, Slam, Spain, Sweden and Netherlands. Japan is added to the list. Regarding the Nicaraguan canal, the information is given that the Nicaraguan measures to promote the waterway after having declared the so-styled Pyro-Cragian option void. The report of the commission is accepted and the awaited. The convention with Great Britain to remove any objections which might arise out of the Clayton-Bulwer section of the ratification of the canal is commended to the early attention of the senate. Turkish relations are dismissed with the intention of the promise of the sultan to make reparation for the injuries suffered by American citizens in Armenia and elsewhere. The recommendation is made that the senate take action on the commercial conventions submitted at the last session, and the operation of the policy of reciprocity. A paragraph is also devoted to the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo, and to a commendation of its purpose. The financial operations by the government during the year are reviewed in detail. "It will be the duty, as I am sure it will be the disposition, of congress," says the president, "to provide whatever further legislation is needed to insure the continued parity under all conditions between our two forms of metallic money, silver and gold." Touching the disposition of the surplus, the president recommends a reduction of internal revenue war taxes in the sum of $20,000,000. "This reduction should be secured by the remission of these taxes which experience has shown to be the most burdensome to the industries of the people." The inclusion in the reduction is specially urged of the legacy tax bequests for public uses of a literary, educational or charitable character. Urges Shipping Subsidies. Immediate action is urged on measures to promote American shipping and forge a strong and sustainable growth of our steel industries, the progress of shipbuilding for the domestic sector, and our steadily maintained expansion of the railway industry, the opportunity to place the United States in the first rank of commercial maritime powers. American vessels during the past decade have been the trade, I am satisfied the judgment of our exports and imports. Foreign ships should carry the least, not the most, of the cargo we trade, I am satisfied the policy of aid to our merchant marine, which will broaden our com-munication and upbuild our se-carrying capacity for our cargo agriculture and manufacture, which, with the increase of our navy, more mean the increase of our merchant message, as well as a safety guard to American interests in every part of the world." The president calls attention to the present situation of our early action to remedy such a might be found to exist in connection with combinations of capital organised in the form of a national message, adding: "Restraint upon such combinations as are required, and which are within federal jurisdiction should be promptly applied by the congress." The treatment of the Philippine question consists larger of a review of events that have taken place in the country, calling the president's determination to await the decision of the will of congress to approve the constitution, and the government. He reports favorable progress towards pacification and the institution of local government. Instructions to the president, the governor, the commission, the preliminary report, which has already been published, are cited as to the improvements following the arrival of the president. The commission are said to show yet more encouraging advance towards humanity and with the aim of building an enuring, self supporting and self administering community. Legislation also follows, covering the unselfish discharge of an unnoused trust, which the fortune of war has thrown upon the nation. Roliterating his mind, the commission awards of the nation," the president says: "it is our duty so to treat them that our minds have been delivered in the mountains of Luzon and Negros, than it is at home, that there as here it shall be the reason and progress in every avenue of development. The Filipinos are a race quick to learn and to profit by knowledge. He will be the champion of contemporaneous history in view, would fix a limit to the degree of cultureancement yet within the reach of these purposes toward them be faithfully performed." Legislation is recommended to confer upon the secretary of the interior superior, Porto Rico, with the duty to ascertain the location and quantity of lands, the title to the president's town of Spain when Porto Rico was ceded. After reviewing the circumstances of the constitution concession, the president announced that when the convention concludes its labors he will transmit to congress the constitution for such necessity for the necessity for Pacific cable between United States and Hawaii, with extension to Puerto Rico. "Surveys have shown the entire feed- bimy or a chain of ames which at each stopping place shall touch on American territory, so that the system shall be uninterrupted once within telegraphic reach, connection with the systems of the Asiatic coast would open increased and profitable opportunities from our shores to the Asian than is now afforded by the trans-Asian lines. I urge attention to this important matter:" of the new possessions, the country's coast defenses and new army posts is pointed out, and the necessity in the imminent war against the Philippines is stated. "It must be apparent," says the president, "that we will require an army of about 60,000, and the Philippines and the Philippines the president should have authority to increase the force to the present number of 100,000. Included in this number are troops to raise many troops in the Philippines up to 15,000 which the Taft commission believe will be more effective in detecting insurgents and ladrones than our own soldiers. "The full discussion of this subject by the staff of warfare and military report is called upon at our attention. "I renew the recommendation made in my last annual message that the congress of the Philippines welcomes volunteers, regulars, sailors and marines on duty in the Philippines who volunteer their terms of enlistment had expired. "I favor the recommendation of the secretaire of the Philippines from the line of the army when vacancy occurs in the adjutant general's department, inspector general's department, department, pay department, ordnance department and signal corps. "I highly commended for its faithful and effective service in active military operations in the difficult work of civil administration." Rural Mail Delivery a Success. The message declares the rural mail delivery a success, saying its rapid growth is "a rare index of the great and increase of service ameliorates the isolation of farm life, conduces to good roads, and quickens and extends the dissemination of general information. Experience has shown that it would be so expensive as to forbid its general adoption or make it a serious burden. Its actual application has shown that it would be accompanied by reductions in other branches of the service, so that the augmented revenues and the accomplished together materially reduce the net cost." Recommendations of the secretary of the navy for new vessels and for increased force are approved, and the establishment of the grade of vice admiral is recommended, and also provision for suitable rewards for special merit. The president may request that the president the distinguished service during the war with Spain have received in return no recognition from the congress. I commend to the favorable action of the president the erection of a statue to the memory of the late Admiral David D. Porter." At the end of the fiscal year there were on the pension roll $93,529 names, a net increase of 2,010 over the fiscal year 1899. The number added to the rolls during the year was 45,244. The amount disbursemed for army pensions during the year was $154,700, $597.24, and for navy pensions $3,761,533.41, a total of $18,862,130.05, leaving an unexpected balance of $5,542,788.25 to be covered into the treasury, which shows an increase over the previous year's expenses. In 2007, $77.70 were $84. It was added to the rolls during the year by special acts passed at the great session of the Fifty-sixth congress. The act of May 9, 1890, among other things, provides for an extension of income to widows pensioned under said act to $250 per annum. The secretary of the Interior for the operations of this act the number of persons pensioned under it will increase and the increased annual payment for pensions will be between $3,008,000 and $4,000,000. The government justly appreciates the services of its soldiers and saitors by making pensions payments. The beyond precedent to the other. New Apportionment Recommended. Apportionment of representation among the states under the new census is recommended, as provided by the constitution. Earnest consideration is bespoken for the recommendation of the governor of Hawaii for the development of water supplies on the public lands in the island. A view of promoting land settlements. Referring to the department of agriculture, the Department of Agriculture has been extending its work during the past year, reaching farther or new varieties of seeds and plants; co-operating more fully with the state and territories of the Search along useful lines; making progress in meteorological work relating to lines of wireless telegraphy and forecasts for ocean-going vessels; continuing inquiry as to animal disease; looking into the current change in the formation of oil oil-conservation, outlining plans for the data, and the development and intelligent harvesting of our woodlands, studying soils that produce may cultivate with better knowledge of conditions, and helping to clothe the past year; and the use of a new acid-regime, which is also a major region. Our Island possesses are being considered that their peoples may be helped to produce the tropical products now so extensively brought into the United States. Inquiry into methods of improving the quality of oil oil-conservation during the year; help has been given to many localities, and scientific investigation of material in the states and territories has been inaugurated. Irrigation problems in our semiarid regions are reducing the careful and increased consideration. "An extensive exhibit at Paris of the products of agriculture has made the people of the varied products of our fields and their comparative excellence. The statistics regarding our crops is being improved and sources of information are being enlarged, to the end that producers may have the earliest knowledge of what has never been a time when those for whom it has been established have shown more appreciation of the services of the Amend Alien Contract Law. Attention is called afresh to the necessity for amendment of the allen contract for the benefit of the public for the full application of the eight hour law for the benefit of labor and of the principal of arbitration are commended to congress. The use of the civil service commission; the necessity of a hall of public records in Washington is pointed out; congress of John Marshall Day on Feb. 4 next, as well as in the centennial anniversary of the establishment of the seat of government of Columbia. The message concludes: "In our great prosperity we must guard against the danger it invites of extravagance in government expenditures and appropriations, and the chosen representatives of the people will, I doubt not, furnish an example in their legislation of that wise economy which in a season of plenty husbands for the future. In this era of great business activity and opportunity caution it is not untimely. It will not abate, but strengthen confidence. It will not retard, but promote, legitimate industrial and commercial expansion. Our growing power brings with its temptations and perils requiring constant vigilance to avoid. It must not be used to invite conflicts, nor for oppression, but for the more effective maintenance of those principles of equality and justice upon which our institutions and happiness depend. Let us keep always in mind that the foundation of our government is Liberty; its superstructure pease." Robbed His Bride and Fled. Youngstown, O., Dec. 5—Mrs. Helen Taylor, 19 years old, who was married in New York a few days ago, has been deserted here by her husband, Theodore Taylor. Mrs. Taylor alleges he also relieved her of $150, all her savings. Taylor represented to his wife to manage a store here. Mrs. Taylor says she was the result of ten years' saving. Her maiden name was Helen Krause. Schooner Wrecked, Crew Rescued. schooler Wrecked, Crew Rescued. Atlantic City, Dec. 5. — Waterlogged and sinking, the schooner Oliver Schofield, lumber laden, from Norfolk to New York, came ashore yesterday afternoon above Tom's River life saving station, and is rapidly being pounded to pieces by the heavy seas which are breaking along the Jersey coast. The crew of the schooner was brought safely ashore. There is no hope for the vessel. Nine of the Workmen Killed and Twenty More Inlured. Sacramento, Cal., Dec. 5. A work train, carrying its crew of between 25 and 30 track repairers, backed into a freight train a few miles east of Sulau, on the Southern Pacific railroad, yesterday, and in the wreck which followed nine men were killed and 20 more injured, many of them seriously. It appears the freight train had the right of way and was running at full speed in order to meet and pass another freight at Sulau. The work train should have been on a sliding, and was making for it at a good rate of speed when it collided with the right. At the time there was a heavy fog objecting, and it was possible to discern objecting, and short distance, so the shock of the colliding trains was terrific. All the casualties are reported to be among the men of the working crews, as the engineers and firemen jumped and saved themselves. Over 200 feet of track was torn up, and the cars were smashed and piled upon each other in every conceivable shape. Escaped From an Asylum. New York, Dec. 5.—John Armstrongn Chanler, former husband of Amelie Rives, now the Princess Troubetskoy, cousin of Representative William Astor Chanler and great-grandson of the original John Jacob Astor, who has been confined in Bloomingdale asylum, at White Plains, has escaped, and is supposed to be wandering about the county in Westchester county, Mr. Chanler had been confined in Bloomingdale asylum for two years. As he was tractable he had been allowed certain liberty, which two days ago he took advantage of to walk out of the gates. Mr. Chanler is a millionaire, and had a private room in the institution. A Senatorship Again Reclaimed Minneapolis, Dec. 5. Governor Lind, who is a custodian, has informally offered the appointment as United States senator ad interim, to succeed Senator Davis, to C. Smith, a wealthy Swedish-American luminary of this city, and a Republican, Mr. Smith has, however, declined the proffer. governor's appointee would serve only until the legislature, which meets next month, elects. L. L. Brown, of Winnona, recently Democratic candidate for congress in the First district, is being urged, and former Congressman G. A. Towne is not altogether out of the case. To Raise Coal Freight Rates. Philadelphia, Dec. 5.—The Record says: "Probably no more apparent evidence of the interests secured by the Pennsylvania railroad in the Baltimore and Ohio, Chesapeake and Ohio and Norfolk and Western railroads, and what it signifies both in making and maintaining of rates, is the fact that it is the purpose to advance the tidewater freight rates on bituminous coal 10 per cent on April 1, 1901. These four railroads control the entire output of bituminous coal to tide water, and the harmonious relations existing permits of a concert of action. The Chicago Explosion Chicago, Dec. 5.—A corrected list of the casualties in the explosion Monday evening of a boiler in the lighting and heating plant of the Chicago and Northwestern railway shows six dead and 16 injured, five of whom probably will die. Hugh McGregor was added yesterday to the list of dead and the following will, it is believed, result fatal. August Beck, Milwaukee; Mrs. Bea Kawnee; John Butterworth, Chicago; A Scully, Chicago; George Gillis, Chicago. The Becks were returning to Milwaukee after their wedding trip. Will Sue For Embesser's Losses. Newport, Ky., Dec. 5.—The United States grand jury yesterday heard testimony in the case of Frank M. Brown, late assistant cashier of the German National bank of Newport, who is charged with embezzling $191,000 of the bank's funds. Among the witnesses are some known to have knowledge of the losses of money at poolrooms and other places. Receiver Tucker is authority for the statement that the government will undertake to recover the money lost and spent by Brown. American Capital in England. London, Dec. 5.—The Daily Express publishes an interview this morning with Mr. Frank Hawley, an electrical promoter, who is now in London in the interest of an American syndicate. Mr. Hawley says the capitalists he represents are ready to expend no less than £4,000,000 in the construction of electric surface railroads in London and the suburbs to a radius of 30 miles. Not a penny of British capital will be asked. Mr. Hawley expresses himself as confident that the undertaking will be a financial success. Riotous Strikers Locked Up Latrobe, Pa., Dec. 5.—A riot occurred here yesterday at the works of the Bessemer Coal and Coke company. Three deputy sheriffs were injured, and as a result the borough prison is full of inmakers. The injured are: Deputy A. K. Murray; broken; Deputy David Detrick and David bruned. Bruned.

THE PLANET SATURDAY, DEC. 8, 190C A FRENCHMAN'S BOAST. Gen. Mercier Says French Could Easily Invade England. ENGLAND NO LONGER THE SAME. The Transvaal War, General Mercier Declares, Has Shown That the British Army, Though Brave, Is Not Equal to the Task Imposed Upon It. Paris, Dec. 5.—Gen. Mercier caused a deep sensation in the senate yesterday, during the debate on the naval bill, by pointing out the ease by which England be invaded. He demanded that the government introduce into the plans for the mobilization of the army and navy methods for the rapid embarkation and debarkation of an expeditionary corps. The president, M. Fallieres intervened, declaring that such proposals were out of order. In the course of his extraordinary speech Gen. Mercier said: "In the view of the possibility of war with Great Britain the use of the army is not sufficiently taken into account. The times are not the same as they were a hundred years ago. Steam, the navy, the telegraph and the railroad have rendered the problem of the invasion of England much easier of solution. Moreover, England herself is no longer the same. The Transvaal war has shown that the British army, although brave, is not equal to the task which England expects it to perform. The British navy is powerful but it is many coasts to defend. "France, therefore, is numerically England's equal to certain points, and is even her superior in the instruments of destruction. History has many instances of mutiny in the English navy at the moment of battle. A landing in England is, therefore, not beyond realization. "This is not only my opinion, but that also of high naval officers. The British premier recently expressed significant fears, and if the principle of landing is admitted the practical means of execution may be discussed. I venture to think that the work I prepare while commanding an army corps could serve as a basis for such a project, which would not be expensive." At this point M. Fallieres asked Gen. Mercier not to enter into the details of the statement, and Mercier replied that the scheme could be "held over the head of England like the sword of Damocles." CONVICTED EX-OFFICIALS PARDONED Governor Pingree Releases Generals White and Marsh. Detroit, Mich., Dec. 5—Governor Pingree, at 10 o'clock last night, announced that he had pardoned both Gen. W.L. White, ex-quartermaster general, and Gen. A. F. Marsh, ex-inspector general of the Michigan National Guard, who were convicted of complicity in the state military clothing frauds, upon the payment of $5,000 fine by each.

New Constitutional Amendment Void Des Mines, Ia., Dec. 5.—A defect in the manner of the passage by the legislature of the resolution for the constitutional amendment providing for biennial elections was unearthed yes-which, it is generally believed, will render the amendment void.

MESSENGER THORNBY'S JOKE ON GEN. CROSBY. SATURDAY, DEC. 8 1906 A HISTORIC CORNER. Occupied Once by Washington's Best Known Hotel. One of Its Rooms Andrew Johnson Took the 0ath of Office as President of the Uilted Sintes. [Special Washington Letter.] THERE is a historic corner on Pennsylvania avenue which is now occupied by a hotel; and very few people now living know anything about the history of the locality. For many years the building on the corner of Twelfth street and Pennsylvania avenue was occupied by the pension office, and then a dry goods and notions store built up a successful business there. Six years ago alterations were made which transformed the building into a hotel and cafe and now additions have been built along Twelfth street, completely obliterating all of the landmarks which were so dear to our old-timers. Nearly 20 years ago "Boss" Shepherd, the man of energy and executive ability who changed the national capital from its condition of a sluggard southern town in a mudhole to a national city with broad avenues and concreted streets, built upon the corner referred to a six-story brick building, with mansard roof, and rented it to the government for the use of the pension office. It was so occupied until the architectural monstrosity in Judiciary square was completed, in 1885, and then the pension office was removed and the shepherd building was taken by a prosperous storekeeper. During the civil war the corner was occupied by the best known and most popular hotel in the city, called the Kirkwood house. Members of the cabinet as well as prominent senators and representatives resided at the Kirkwood house, and prominent officers of the federal armies were constantly MESSENGER THORNBY'S coming and going as guests of the same hotel. Vice President Andrew Johnson was a guest of the Kirkwood house on the night of the tragedy at Ford's theater, when President Lincoln lost his life by the hand of an assassin. On the following morning it was in the Kirkwood house that Mr. Johnson took the oath of office and became president of the United States. In the spring of 1864, when the successful general of the Mississippi valley, U. S. Grant, came to the national capital to receive from the hands of the president his commission as lieutenant general of all the armies he was a guest at the Kirkwood house. From time to time Gens. Sherman, Sheridan, Hancock, Logan, Meade and other eminent military men either had their rooms or took their meals at the Kirkwood house. It was not until several years after the war had closed, when the armies had been disbanded, the carpet-bag period had passed, and the unusual business incident to and dependent upon the civil war had ceased, that the Kirkwood house, being no longer the most popular hostelrie in the city, was closed. During the latter part of March, 1864, while he was planning the offensive campaign which commenced with the battle of the Wilderness on the 5th day of the following May, a banquet was given to Gen. Grant in the Kirkwood house, which was followed by a ball, and in the festivities of both events Miss Kate Chase, the accomplished, brilliant and beautiful daughter of Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase, was the social leader. Although the celebrated hostelrie was a frame building of the olden style, it was an exceptionally large and roomy structure for those days. More than 200 men and women of distinction participated in the banquet, and, before the dawn of the morrowhad dispersed the merry-makers, nearly 1,000 of the men and women of note in those days participated in the terpsichorean mazes. For many years the best servant in the old Kirkwood house was a colored man named George Thorby. He acted as valet to Gen. Grant on that occasion and was subsequently detailed to look after the comfort of Vice President Johnson. So it happened that when the old house finally gave way to a more modern structure, Thorby, through the kind intercession of many men of prominence whom he had served, secured an appointment as messenger in the post office department, when Congressman Tyner, of Indiana, was made postmaster general. He remained there until a few years ago, when he died. Thorby was a very intelligent fellow and was made a messenger to the first assistant postmaster general. During his latter years he took a great deal of pleasure in telling a story concerning John Schuyler Crosby, of New York, who was the governor of the territory of Montana for three years and became first assistant postmaster general when CORRESPONDENCE NO. 2 1834 Frank Hatton was advanced to the position of postmaster general. Thornby opened all the envelopes and laid the smaller ones, which ostensibly contained personal letters, upon the desk of the first assistant postmaster general; but the big official envelopes he distributed to the clerks in charge of the appointments in the different states, and he always did his work intelligently and with good judgment. Gov. Crosby had only been the incumbent of the office of first assistant postmaster general a few days when he rung his bell, to which Thornby responded, and Gov. Crosby said: "I want to know who it is that opens my letters every day before they are placed on my desk." "That is my work, sir," said Thornby, bowing and smiling as one who knows his duty is well performed. "Well, hereafter," said Gov. Crosby. "I do not want anybody to open my mail. Let the mail be placed upon my desk and I will open it myself. I do not wish to have my correspondence handled in this indiscriminate manner." On the following morning, when Crosby entered his office he was amazed to see it transformed into a general delivery office and mail packing establishment. His desk was stacked three feet high with letters of every description, not one of which Thornyh had opened. In a little space upon the desk before Crosby's chair were 150 or 200 small envelopes containing letters which might be presumed to be personal, but at least three-fourths of which must have been official. Gov. Crosby was no fool. He simply lacked executive departmental experience. He saw at once that the colored man had a huge joke on him. He rang the bell, and when the polite Thornyh appeared, he said: "Thornyh, here is a five-dollar bill which belongs to you. Take all of this stuff off of my desk and say nothing about it to anybody." The faithful and intelligent negro did as requested. But the clerks, who had been waiting for their daily work more than two hours that morning, had ascertained the fact that all of their mail was piled upon Crosby's desk, so that Thornby violated no confidence later when he told the story who many a hilarious smile. The old Kirkwood house is merely a reminiscence in the national capital. Its disappearance was volum-norly commented upon when it was obliterated; and the story of the old hotel is brought vividly to memory by OKE ON GEN. CROSBY. reason of the fact that another old hotel, within a block of the treasury building, has been torn down this summer in order to make room for an immense modern structure. The old hotel was originally built in 1836, for the use of the post office department. Within five years the Doric columns of the new post office department were erected, and the postmaster general took possession thereof. Then it was that the hotel was opened. It has been known by name to all who have visited the national capital during the past 60 years. It was what the proprietor hoped it would be, as he expressed it with his New England nasal twang, "a very likely tavern." The hotel which will take its place will be a credit to this great and growing city. The department of justice is in temporary quarters because its historic building, opposite the treasury department, has been torn down this summer, to make room for another, a bigger and better building. The old Corecoran art gallery is about to be taken down, in order to make room for a hall of records of the executive departments. These are only a few of the improvements which are being made upon Pennsylvania avenue; and they have come none too soon. The principal thoroughfare of the national capital has long been regarded as the best parade ground in the world; but the buildings along that thoroughfare have never reflected credit upon the city, nor upon the people of the republic. The improvements briefly outlined here really constitute a great stride in the development of the national capital as a modern city. An old Highlander, rather fond of his glass, was ordered by his doctor during a temporary aliment not to exceed one ounce of spirits in the day. The old man was a little dubious about the amount, and asked his boy, who was at school, how much an ounce was. "Sixteen drums one ounce," said the boy. "Sixteen drums," cried the delighted man. "Gaw! no so bad. Run and tell Tonal MacTavish to come doon the night." —Tit-Bite. Widow (benevolently)—Here is a pair of boots that belonged to my dead husband. Maybe they'll fit you.

It is only from the lack of discrimination that a person can be reached. It is not every one who pleases himself or herself as a medium that can itself a test of what he or she claims. And a person of an enquiring mind may ask the reason why It is simply t 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 of a person it is used by many unprincipled mediums, but to take hold on the head and gain control of the mind thereby is a matter of impossibility to most of us, yet this can be done and by consulting Ms. Marth the seeming mystery becomes a realization. This subject has received no little attention by eminence even college professors. So it proves inclusively that although there are infringers 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 unfathomable mysteries has been secured by MRS. MARTH for the benefit of humanity ADVICE BY LETTER, $1.00 HOURS FROM 10 A. M., 20 9 P. W. MRS. M. B. MARTH. 246 W. 31st St., (near 8th Ave.) New York City. Enclose stamp for reply.

One of the grasstest Unions of the year was held with the Ebenezer Baptist Sunday School, on last Sunday evening, the President, Mr. R. H. Thurston, presiding. The meeting was opened with singing hymn, "I need thee every hour." The Scripture lesson from the 23rd Ps. was read by Rev. W. H. Stoker, B D. now in charge of pulpit of Ebenezer Baptist Church who also offered invocation. After which hymn, "Conquering now, and still to conquer," was sung. The Superintendent, Mr. Wallace P Epps, then delivered the address of welcome which was listened to with marked attention. The President responded briefly and voiced the sentiments of the Union, in saying that we all fully appreciate the hearty interest that the Ebenezer has taken in the Union. The first speaker little! Eddie A. Washington, Jr., of Mt Olives S S., was then announced. It was a well prepared session. Nexe came the most excellent speech of little Jack Wyche, the son of Lieut. Wyhee, of the 5th St. Baptist S. S. The other speakers who are among the best in the Union were Ethel Jackson of the Ebenezer S. S. Lucy Freeman of the Moore St. S. S.; Grace and Ella Cross and Lena Washington of the Mt. Olivet S. S. Mr. R. J. Thurston of the 5th St. S.S. then delivered one of the best addresses ever presented to the Union. He is a student at the Virginia Union University. Rev. T. J. Cheake, B.D., of the same University, upon almost a moments notice, gave a most profound talk, in the discourse of which, he paid a high tribute to the noble work of the Union, commending the youthful speakers, and exhorting others to a fuller realization of the duties and responsibilities encumbrant upon us as workers in the Master's cause. The Reverend has a large Bible class at the Sharon Baptist S. S. The quartette by members of the Ebenezer S. S. was a rare treat. Mr. C. C. Williams, the veteran chorister of the Union was on hand as usual, and enlivened the occasion with sweet music. Miss Nannie Jones the accomplished organist of Ebencen Church, sang a very sweet solo that completely captivated the Union. After singing "Bless be the tie that binds," and the collection having been raised, the meeting was adjourned with benediction by Rev. W. H. Stokes. The members of the Afro-American League Club of Sharpstown, Pa. passed strong resolutions condemning lynching. Mr. David Stepto of that city is outspoken in his position on that question. Mrs. M. D.

Subsidence of the Borne According to the results of studies by Prof. A. E. Verrill the beautiful Bermuda islands are merely the remnant of an island, very much larger than the present entire group, but which has sunk in the ocean. The original island had an area of 300 or 400 square miles, whereas the Bermudas to-day are only about 20 square miles in area. Within a comparatively recent period says Prof. Verrill, the Bermudas have subsided at least 80 or 108 feet.
