THE RICHMOND PLANET 1. Warm Times for Uncle Sam's Soldiers. A WHOLE COMPANY WORSTED. Colored Men at the Front. SAN MARCOLINA, P. I, Sept. 14, 1900 The week has been fairly eventful. The 49th Infantry, under Leint. Col. Ducas was surely ixed defending this territory. The enemy attacked Parameque Lus Pamas. Captain Stewart, son of our Chaplain Stewart, and captain of staff was commanding the companies and advanced on the enemy driving them back to a point where Lieu'. Campbell was stationed, the latter officer had quite a brush and Captain Stewart hastily sent reinforcements to his assistance, driving the enemy to cover where Captain Stewart abandoned at daybreak, killing and wounding several and capturing a rifle. Col. Ducat is warm in the praise on his officers and men and especially Captains Bass, Staff and steward and Lieutendants Campbell and Spurlock. CAUSEQUALITIES (Manila "American.") Many were slightly wounded. The 9th Cavalry arrived in the latter part of Sept. and was assigned to duty on the South line details were buoy unloading powder at last account and not a single mishap had occurred. Our 3rd Battalion is enroute to Manila having left San Francisco some time last month and it is rumored they will relieve some volunteers in the north part of the province. Some say we will go South, that is Companies I K. L. and M. where they arrived. K Company is now enjoying prosperity, Lieut. Lynn commanding the company has given them all they could require and the culinary department is such as has not been seen since the days of the late Lieut. Schenck under the supervision of Quarter Master, Sergeant B. W. Watson. Sergeant George Greenwood, our affable 1st Sergeant will be discharged on the 16th inst. Fighting continues throughout the island. Lieut. Way, commanding the native scots were ambushed and killed, and Lieut. Wagner, 28th Infantry was killed in Panay while enroute to Ioilo on sick leave. Captain J. P. O'Neil has issued a circular to the officers and men engaged below Castilijus on Sept. 28th complimenting them on the solitary qualities displayed in action, and the light-heartedness that characterized the affair. STAFF CORRESPONDENT SAN_MAURULING, P. I., Oct. 25, 1900. The times continue to b- quite newy. It is unofficially rumored that a general advance is to take in the country, ranging from Dagupan south to Suble and Qilagapoo. A COMPANY. RELIEVED Company E has been relieved from Santa Crus by a company of the 17th Infantry, H by E and M at Iba by H, the former is now in our battalion and will probably garrison San Antonio, L going to Subic, relieving B, who in tura will proceed to Cabangoan relieving the detachment there, so there is quite a shaking. Company I, 25 h and a detachment of mounted scouts under Lieuts. Ford and Drum, accompanied by Dr. Lewis went into the mountains on an expedition which proved fruitless. A detachment of Co. H, left Iba few days ago to escort a surveying party to the mountains, arrived here this morning and reported having been fired at Isaom, presumably opposite Castille and possibly K Company is out. A detachment of the 38th has been in the vicinity for some time mapping but was ordered back to their station from Santa Antonio abruptly. CIVIL COMMISSION BUSY. The civil commission is kept quite busy making laws, appropriating several millions already for various improvements. They appropriated $750, in gold for the family of a loyal municipal officer murdered by direct instigation of the Insurgent Guil Cailos for friendliness to Americans—a very creditable act indeed. A great misfortune befell the Army in the capture of a captain and 50 men of the 29th am an engagement, after seven men had been killed and wounded on the south line; but as the (Continued on 8th*Page.*) A 1901 HAPPY NEW YEAR.

The time we when a single life did not count for much. The community, the nation, the government was everything. The single individual, as an individual, was regarded as a trifle. But such is not the case with the present order of civilization, and the high state of civilization in our day, is the fruit of common sense and Christianity. No nation amounts to anything until that nation thinks itself something. No race need expect others to honor and appraise it when that race does not honor itself. When a race would rise and take his place among the other races of the world he must do as others have and are doing—love himself. If we want to inspire our boys to statemanship, why not hang on our walls Negroes such as Fred Douglas, Toussaint L'Overture. If we want him to be a soldier, keep before him Maceo, an educator, Daniel A. Payne; an organizer, Wm. W. Browne; or a fearless advocate of race rights, John Mitchell, Jr., and T. Thas. Fortune. Thus we keep before their eyes Negro capabilities. Why do our boys think a white girl is better than any other girl? Why do our girls think a white boy is better than their own brothers? Because the first play thing given to our children is a doll-baby, and that is a white baby. Now, let every Negro father and mother who love their ancestry and are proud of themselves start a reformation along this line. Start it now. Go from store to store in this city and wherever else these burning words are read and ask for colored dolls for Christmas gifts to your children. I have gone from one end of this city to the other looking, and found only one merchant who respected the Negro enough to order and display in his show windows Negro dolls, and that firm never forgets to advertise to the colored citizens through their own (colored) papers. This firm is Mitterdfer & Co. 217 E. Broad St. It's a hard matter, fathers and mothers, to "teach old horses new tricks" but let us plant the seed of a reformation in our children. KING—Miss Annie King departed this life Dec. 17, 1900, in her 23rd year, at her home, 914 St. James St. She was a member of the Grove Grove Baptist Church of Amelia Co.

A Serious Affray. A rather serious affray occurred on Christmas day at the saloon of Mr. Robert S. Nelson, St. James and Duval S. S. The parties engaged were Willie Lewis Willie Nelson, and Elijah Gray Lewis and Gray were sent on to the grand jury upon the charge of attempted murder and put under security for 12 months. Willie Nelson, who was wounded was discharged. Lewis Johnson was fined fifty dollars for carrying a concealed weapon and sent to jail for six months. Nearly all of the offenders were more or less injured. DID NOT FORGET US To our subscribers who remembered the PLANET by paying their subscriptions during the holidays we return many thanks. One of them, Mr. Jas. H. Terrell went a long bow shot beyond. He sent to our residence a fine large turkey. Now this greeting was of a kind to bring joy and satisfaction. When you note the smile upon our councenance think about the cause of it—the J. H. Terrell Christmas turkey. Will the lady who left the order for a picture of her mother, Wednesday night at the editor's residence call and see him concern it. PRICE 5 CENTS CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.

In the midst of life, there is death. Whereas, the Great and Supreme Ruler of the universe has in His infinite wisdom removed from among us our Senior Grand Chief of State Grand Lodge, No. 9, of Virginia, Independents Order of Good Samaritans and Daughters of Samaritas and fellow laborer in the organization, Rev. James H. Holmes, D. D., and Whereas, the long and intimate relation held with him in the faithful discharge of his duties, in the order makes it eminently befitting that we record our appreciation of him; therefore, Resolved: That the wisdom and ability which he has exercised in the aid of our organization by service, contributions and counsel, will be held in grateful rememberance. Resolved: That the sudden removal of such a life from among our midst leaves a vacancy and a shadow that will be deeply realized by all the members and friends of this order, and will prove a serious loss to the community and the public. Resolved: That with deep sympathy with the bereaved relatives of the deceased, we express our hope that even so great a loss to us, all may be overruled for good by Him who doeth all things well. Resolved: That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the record, and a copy be printed in the Richmond PLANET and a copy be forwarded to the bereaved family. Committee: E. W.

The park commissioners of San Francisco have at last decided to admit automobiles in Golden Gate park after the drivers have obtained permits. Within less than a year from its erection the motor vehicle stable at Harvard university, Cambridge, has been increased to twice its original size. An automobile freight line will shortly be established between Los Angeles, Pomona, Ontario and Chino, Cal. A 40-horse, power automobile truck capable of hauling eight or ten tons of freight at slow speed will be used. The Boston park board has extended the time within which horseless carriages can be driven in the park system. Automobiles can now be run from 8:30 until 11:30 in the evening. The vehicles must not travel at a higher speed than ten miles an hour in the park. Private automobiles will pay taxes in cities in Spain of $11.58 for each vehicle, and for each seat, including the driver, $1.36. In smaller cities the tax is decreased, and in places of less than 20,000 inhabitants the tax is further lessened to $2.89 for each vehicle and 34 cents for each seat. PEOPLE WHO WRITE. Dr. Conon Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. His parents were of Irish descent and his father was one of four brothers, each of whom distinguished himself. During the illness of the late Prof. Max Muller at the end of last year public prayers for his recovery were offered in a Hindoo temple at Madras—a distinction never before given to a European. Fifteen years ago James Lane Allen, the novelist, left his home near Lexington, Ky., for New York with $50 as the sum total of his wealth, determined to make a career in literature. The first few years were full of struggles with poverty, and he literally haunted the publication offices till he had some of his work accepted. Francis Parkman, the historian, had a keen sense of justice. A friend met him walking one day along the street, leading two street boys. He had a firm grip on their coat collars. "What in the world are you doing, Parkman?" asked his friend. "I found that Johnny here had eaten all the apple instead of dividing with his little brother. I am going to buy another for the younger boy and make Johnny watch him while we eats it." A Rapid Descent. "Yes, the girls claim the family was once in very good circumstances. But they suffered a great come-down several years ago." "How was that?" "Their father fell out of a balloon." —Cleveland Plain Dealer. THE RICHMOND PLANET RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.

King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." BEFORE. AFTER. Recognizing the fact that there are many 80-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 a fortunate 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 beautifull 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 spurious 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. OZONO. which is sold with an iron-clad guard, will forsit $0.00.

"It is," answered her husband, with his characteristic glance of gloom. "It's when all the husbands begin to wear rag-time neckties and smoke rag-wed cigars because they love the giver."—Washington Star. The Worm Turned Mrs. Cobwigger-While it's true that women wear men's neckties, you surely couldn't expect me to appear in public in such a monstrosity as this. There in the house I was sitting on a tie. Cobwigger-My dear, that's the one you bought for me last Christmas.-Judge. The Every-Day Girl.

SOME CHRISTMAS GIFTS By Elisa Armstrong HEN you give a Christmas present there is everything in having it suitable," remarked Mrs. Wilder. "You agree with me in that, don't you, Tom?" "M'hm," replied Mr. Wilder, who had been married 20 years. He did not for one instant detach his mind from his paper, as he gave this positive assurance. "Yes, indeed; when I go selecting Christmas presents I put my whole mind upon it. No haphazard, indiscriminate present buying for me! I select something which is sure to please the recipient, because it is something which she really wants. Now, there is Laura; she is near-sighted, you know, and I bought her a lovely pair of them. She will be so pleased with them that she will tell me something even more expensive in return." "M'hm," replied Mr. Wilder, without looking up from his paper. "I thought you would agree with me. Then there is Suzanne. I have sent her a lovely set of kitchen aprons, with pockets enough to delight the heart of any housekeeper. As for Effie, I have, after much I DON'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE MEARD A SINGLE WORD." thought, selected her a beautiful umbrella with a handle which will exactly suit her taste. I shall expect something very nice from both of them, if only in return for my thoughtfulness." "M'hm," replied Mr. Wilder, as he turned a page. "Yes, and then there is Helen. I thought a great deal over her present. As she is a settled old maid and lives alone, it was hard to find something sure to please her. Finally I thought of a cat and got her a lovely Angora; wasn't it thoughtful of me? Of course, she will never marry and a cat is almost as good as a man about the house—both of them are difficult to please about their eating and so hard to keep in the house at night." "M'hm," replied Mr. Wilder, as he ran his eyes up a column. "Yes, and I sent them all out by a messenger boy an hour ago. Here he comes back with a lot of notes, full of gratitude, I know, because each gift was so suitable. O, Tom, listen!" "Dear Marla: Thank you so much for the lovely opera glasses you so thoughtfully sent me. They will no doubt be exceedingly useful when we no longer live in our burb which is inaccessible after ten p. m. "LAURA" "Well, that is merely an accident, and the rest of my presents are so suitable that—oh Tom!" "Dear Aunt: It was lovely of you to send me these beautiful kitchen aprons. They are the admiration of a woman in the boarding house where I live. "SUZANNE" "Oh, dear, I quite forgot that she is boarding; but the rest—Tom!" "Dear Marla: It was very kind of you to send me such a lovely umbrella. I shall no longer be such useful as a rainy day companion when I may recover from the rheumatism to venture out when there is a cloud in the sky. "EFFIE" "Oh, my goodness, but there is Helen left. Surely her present—listen: "My Dear Marla: I appreciate your kindness in sending me such a lovely cat, but as I am about to marry her with seven children I fear that I shall not very well know what to do with it. Yours, lovingly, HELEN. "Oh, Tom, isn't it aw—look here, Tom Wilder. I don't believe you have beard a single word of what I have been saying!"

SATURDAY, DEC. 29, 190G THE GOVERNOR HALTED. Gov. J. HOGE TYLER did not pardon ANNIE WATT, the white female, who after stealing one thousand dollars worth of dry-goods and supplies was given only ninety days by Police Justice JOHN J. CRUTCHFIELD. It has at last dawned upon the public that it was no act on the part of the Police Justice or the Governor which consigned this prisoner to the city jail, but her own actions. Gov. TYLER got hold of the "hot end of the poker," but when it came to the question of "turning it loose" without "making faces," he showed remarkable nerve and even more remarkable judgment. It will be a long time before a convicted person, direct from the city jail, and in the custody of the officers of the law will ever be carried into the august presence of the Chief Magistrate of Virginia, even though all the sentimentalists in the country should plead. We emphasize what we said before—the white sales-ladies of Richmond detect thievery whether the guilty parties be male or female, white or colored and when clearly proven guilty will take no part in a plea for the amelioration of the penalty when caught red-handedly by with the goods stolen from their employers. We are sorry for the unfortunate woman, but being a Sunday School teacher, and well acquainted with the law, both profane and sacred there could be no excuse for the crime. To her pupils, she had taught no loubt the greatest of all commandments, "Thou shalt not steal," and to violate its mandatory teachings was an offense not to be condoned or atoned for by a nominal confinement in the city j-ill for ninety days. Colored people, be industrious, law abiding and above all things honest in your dealings with your fellow-man. THE LYNCHINGS IN INDIANA. THE lynching of JIM HENDERSON, BUD ROWLANDS and JOHN ROLLA, the first two at Rockport, Indiana and the last at Booneville, Indiana, Dec. 16th and 17th, 1900 by a mob of irresponsible citizens was without a shadow of palliation or excuse. These colored men were charged with the murder and robbery of HOLLIE SIMMONS, a white man. The punishment provided by the laws of Indiana was amply sufficient to meet the case, and being as they were in a hostile community, there was little. If any likelihood in not receiving their just deserts. Lunching is an evil which is now spreading over the entire country despite the efforts of white and colored men to check it. The remedy is said to exist in a healthy public sentiment against it. This is unquestionably true, but it is a slow way to reach the goal: They go in crowds and steer clear of the defiant and well-armed culprit. In those cases they permit the officers of the law to capture the alleged criminal, hand-suff and shackle him and while in this helpless condition they perform their cowardly and bloody work. It seems to us then that a change should take. In all cases the alleged culprits should be armed and brave officers of the law permit the cowardly leaders of the mob opportunity to capture the "prey." When many lives had been lost in this undertaking the influences at home would be exerted and lynching would disappear. In other words, white and colored men should sell their lives as dearly as possible when assailed by irresponsible mobs or even by sheriff's posses who are the advance guards of the lynchers them selves. The lesson in INDIANA should show to the people of the country the need of radical action. In Canada, which borders on the United States and is under English rule, a lynching is unknown. This is because law is not the creature of public sentiment. For our part, we believe that that the remedy is in our own hands, and we pray God that we may yet have nerve enough to use it. Lynch-law must go! A RESURRECTED CHRISTMAS ONE of those misty, gray evenings so common to December, a certain street conner was suddenly enlivened by a gay whistle, a boy, a bundle of hand-bills and a bucket of paste. With the cold gaze of the electric eye upon him, the boy plastered a bill upon the tall wooden pole, and then stepped back to gaze admiringly on his work, and to give an extra dab or two at the loose edges which thereupon clung to their support in approved artistic style. Three women were approaching from different directions, and, thinking to do a good stroke of business for his employer by attracting attention to his advertisement, he whistled very shilly and quite off the key, as he slowly picked up his pail to leave. One old lady stopped and exclaimed, impatiently: "If you must whistle, why don't you whistle in tune?" The boy only laughed good-naturely, and took himself off in haste, but the two women approached uttering little expressions of surprise and pleasure; for they were old friends, and at the very moment of meeting each had been thinking over bygone days, when their lives were closely interwoven. "Well, here we are," gayy exclaimed Estell "three graces in ungrateful attire! Did you hear such a fearful whistle as that boy had?" She took me off my feet and then I frightened him in to finding his. Do see him run," she added, as the youth disappeared a corner. "Are you going home?" she inquired. They simply answered: "Yes," and all turned to read the poster that had seemed to draw them together: Tuesday, Dec. 14, and Thursday, Dec. 16. on PSYCHIC MEANING OF CHRISTMAS. "Well!" they all exclaimed, "what does he mean by that?" "It seems to me easy enough," said Penelope. "It is having the spirit or soul of the season within. I used to think of these things once, but Christmas seems a dead season now. Funny, too," she laughed, "when I have here under my arm 15 proof sheets of Alton's new Christmas story, which I am to correct this very night." "And I," said Estella, "never celebrate the day now; though I am teaching six new Christmas carols to my pupils, and have an anthem in my music roll to practice for Christmas service in our little church." "And I," puffed Urania, "have ten pounds of dried fruits for the Christmas mince pies. It all goes to those greedy boarders of mine, and I am too tired to know what Christmas means in these days. It is a dead anniversary and practical people have out-grown it." A flare from the electric lamp sent a light over the three keen, intelligent old faces, and revealed three hands clasped closely and sympathetically. They were all well over 60, and their faces bore marks of sorrow, courage and well-fought battles. Penelope and Urania were what the world calls "old maids" (loving friends would have another name). In youth Penelope had had family, home, wealth and ease; now all these had passed from her. She was merely a book canvasser when "the firm" required her services, or a stenographer or proof-reader when that sort of work pressed. Her "home" was a back room in a shabby house, on a dull street in the sleep old city; her only relative, a brother, remained. He alas, was hopelessly insane; yet the brave woman supported him, always spoke of him as "my weak-minded brother," visited him on every holiday, and strove with love and gifts to recall the poor wandering mind. In this duty she neve failed; remaining as loyally true to him a to her young lover who had been drowened at sea 45 years ago. Urania had been an only child, mother less from birth. Her noble old father had laid down his life for his country on the battlefield of Gettyburg, and, after mourning him so sincerely many years (assisted by numerous impeccable relatives), she awakened to the fact that her money was spent her house mortgage, and she was on the verge of ruin through their "eare and sympathy of courage, courage, swept her house of kinsfolk, and swept the business at which she had played too long. She was pump, rosy and motherly with great soft hands, a tender heart and a kindly spirit—a great contrast to the pale etheral Penelope and the slight, nervous Estella, but her very dissimilarity was an attraction to the others, their different characteristics serving to draw out the best side of their natures. Estella had lately returned to the old town where all had lived in their early girlhood, and she brought a spirit that stirred to life many tender memories. She had had her sorrow. Widowed and made childless in the second year of marriage, she had to face the world and turn the art that she adored into a packhorse to sustain her life and carry her over hard bridges. Now the three had met, and—well, they felt young again, and acted so. "Three old pieces of driftwood toughened by the tide," said Estella. "Too old to celebrate anything, even a day antique as Christmas." He heard that driftwood makes a beautiful fire for warmth and color," said Poulson stone. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND VIRGINIA "Yes," added Urania, "and an open fire is so comforting. Three logs and a pair of well polished andirons—" An unexpected laugh rang out; Estella was certainly forgetting nerves, and cold, age and infirmity. "Do you remember," said she, "that awful Christmas we were forced to spend at Miss Verplanck's boarding school! Bless me, girls, it will be 50 years this Christmas! Surely you remember it!" When I guess we do," chimed in Penelope. "I was exiled because of scarlet fever at home; we must have mother and father were called to London, and dear Urania, here, stayed lest we should be unhappy; bless her!" "Yes," added Urania, with a slight flush, "and you remember the feast in Estella's room? How you knitted something soft and white, and Estella played minor things on the piano, till a tear dropped on one of the apples I was roasting for supper, and the apples you knitted needle in that apple, so that you danced my own tear. Then how we danced the Highchottische, till little Miss Verplanck put her head in the door, and said, with that little FIFTY YEARS AGO cough of heres: "A little less noise, young ladies, if you please." "Let us do it all over again," eried Estella. "Come to my rooms on Christmas night at five o'clock. Urania may send the cooked chicken; you, Penelope, shall send the nuts and candies, and I will do the rest." Prof. Wensel did not become richer in pocket through these old ladies, but if as he said repeatedly in his lecture, spiritual rewards always found and enriched him, he must have been in affluence after this night. Prof. Wensel wondered why Urania laughed so much, one old boarder saying some one must have left her. Another thought she must be on the lookout for a husband, after which astute conjecture gave extra attention to his hair and clothes, and tied his scarf with wondrom care. Penelope worked with such zeal that her employers were surprised. One day she hummed a little tune to herself, at which the junior partner remarked: "By Jove, there's plenty of courage and work in the old girl yet." Estella spent every spare moment in making her two reams beautiful and immaculate. She had ceased to grumble about the chimney place being draughty. It was no longer "an unattractive heater and quite out of date." It was now glorious, such a perfect ventilator and so cheerful. On Christmas day she was prompt at church. The anthem passed off capitally. Everyone was pleased. She visited the chili- "TIME!" ORIED PENELOPE. dren's ward in the old hospital, and was so funny and lovely that the pale little creatures stretched out, their hands to her, and laughed a little with their hoarse pain-laden voices. She had emptied her pocketes of pennies to the beggars that beset her homeward path, and at three o'clock in the afternoon had dusted every article in the quaint room to a fine polish. Two great broad windows overlooked a sloping hill and the roofs of many houses. Beyond lay the great gray ocean. A side window was shelved from top to sill, and filled with potted plants that bloomed profusely and overran the ugly red clay that inclosed them. Across one corner stood the piano. It was the only really new thing at hand, and its polished surface took on shadows of the ancient grandeur about it, as if in apology window another room filled with book shelves, where goodly reading was to be had between the shabby covers of many an old treasure. A few easy chairs and tables lay cozy about; and the great brick fireplace with its brass andirons and high old mantel shelf was the heart and core of the room. Eatella laid the fine thin old cloth carefully on the round, polished table, garnishing it by pinning little sprigs of holly on its satiny surface. She placed Urania's chicken by the warm heartstone, and on a stool near by laid a basket of rosy apples an a pile of bread with the great toast-fork on guard. With much pride of manner she turned out a glass of crab-apple jelly into an old glass dish, and filled it by another dish of brandied peaches. "That will surprise the girls," she said, and laughed a little as she sheared Penelpe's lavish supply of cannies in every conceivable little receptacle she could find. Eatella looked queenly. Her black satin gown was old, but she had softened the matched waist a fiehu of soft yellow loo, and fastened in its folds a bunch of pretty old velvet wall flowers. Her hair had trick of curling itself into proper places, and a glint of its old auburn tint was in its white sheen. Her eyes were bright and her cheeks rosy with expectant. Toward five o'clock the shadows grew heavier. Day was almost gone. Estella went to the window, looked out a moment on the sea. "Ever the great deep is quiet to-day," she said, "and there is no poor lonelyly Estella this Christmas." She drew the curtains, put a fresh log on the staining fire and hurried to answer a timid girl who came on her door. As the gust of air blew she looked up to see Penelope and Ursula in thick hoods off and hands extended, whilst the rang in nasal tones the old street was: "You yon, merry gentleman." Estella laughingly whirled into the room, marrying: "I am 1896 Four years ago— As it was before; Four years more 1900 19 1904 R. F. TANCIL. PRESIDENT.

BRANCH BANK AT THE "WHITE FRONT," No. 311 N. FOURTH ST., RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. With many loving kisses, wishes for "merry Christmas," and soft little words, they were divested of wraps and furs and finally nestled down into easy chairs with the restful spirit of the hour floating lightly on their tired senses. Penelope began knitting some soft, fluffy white thing that grew and grew in amplitude; and Urania, after examining the preparations for supper with pleased anxiety, busied herself with toast-fork and apples. Estella wandered about the room idly for a boy buying a few words, and now and again to touch a chick. Her old girl with the tips of her eight fingers. Then, finding her seat at the piano, she drifted off into the land of music and ecstasy, a golden-haired child, softly beckoning the way. As the last notes of "Chopin's Lament" fell on the air, a great tear splashed down Urania's soft cheek and fell into the snowy heart of the last roasted apple. "Time!" cried Penelope, though her own eyes were moist, and she drove her knitting needle straight through the unsuspecting apple. Estella sprang up and came laughing to the fireside. Then up jumped the others, and, singing the "Keel Row," danced about the table as in their school days. The flames shot a pink light on the opaque wall, and made the dancing figures look like little girls. The old portraits on the wall took on a daisy-powered air, and the little flame spirited; the great logs sang a soft sweet song, and the dear Christ Child nestled close to the old hearts that had found Him, and caressed the wrinkled faces into images of love and peace.

The old year is sighing and dying, forsooth, While the New Year for entrance is knocking. The Old Year would linger and never go forth. But the New thinks that would be shoaking. So, forth out of doers the old man is turned, And the youth takes his place in the cycle. The lessons once mastered again must be learned. For the times and the seasons are fickle. But 'the King is dead! long live the King!' 'Tis thus with the years in their dying; The death of the Old Year the New Year deth bring. One comes while the other is flying. Then ring merry bells when the New Year appears, Be glad and rejoice with your neighbor; Who would be thus happy must banish his fears. And he shall be blessed in his labor. Hurrah, for the Old Year!

Resolutions of Respect in Reference to the Resignation of Rev. R. Wells. It is with the deepest sorrow and sympathy that we the members of this church do receive the resignation of our beloved pastor, Rev. Richard Wells who has served us in this capacity for the past thirty years, during all of which time he has been untiring in his devotion and efforts to lead his flock into 'green pastures, beside the still waters." NOBLE WORK RECOGNIZED. This church, therefore, recognizing, as she does the noble work that he has accomplished for this popie particularly as well as for the cause of the Master generally, and being anxious to place upon record some slight expression of her sense of his worth as a pastor, and sineer sorrow and regret at the causes which compelled him to resign the pastoral charge thereof, viz. inability to perform the duties of his sacred vocation on account of failing health, does hereby adopt the following resolutions: First: That in severing the relation of pastor and people heretofore existing between Rev. Wells and this church she feels that she not only loses a noble, and Christian-hearted man of God, who was ever ready to do what he could for the advancement of his church, but a advantage and brother aswell, whose loving counsel and and cheerful words given to his people both in church and in their homes, have been of great comfort and edification to them. THE CAUSES DISPLORED. Second: That while we feel grateful beyond expression to our Heavenly Father for placing this beacon light of the gospel; this worthy pastor and honorable and exemplary man over us as a united Christian family and most sorely deplore the causes which take him from us; yet we must accept the condition of his health as but the will of Previdence and how in humble submission thereto, invoking the constant care, protection, comfort and preservation of our said pastor for long years, and when he shall cross the river of life and enter the regions of the great beyond, a happy admittance into His kingdom with these approving words. "Well done, good and faithful servant, anter thou now into *the* joys of thy Lord; thou hast been faithful over a few things, behold I will make the ruler over many." O;DERED THEM PUBLISHED. Third: That a copy of these resolutions, as well as the preamble to them, be sent to our ex-pastor, Rev. R. Wells and another published in one of our most widely distributed journals, and another spread upon the records of this church by order of the church, this 10th day of December, 1900.

By Opie Read. PHYSICIAN ordered Crandall to go south. "What for?" the young fellow spoke up, rather testily. "You forget that I was the successful center rush of—" "Yes, I know all about that," the doctor broke in. "And I also know that in your great strength—in the over development of your muscles, there lies a danger. Go south for the winter and rest. You can afford it." And, acting upon the physician's advice, Crandall went down to the gulf coast of Mississippi and took up his abode at Ocean Springs, a place settled by the Spaniards many years before there was a New Orleans. He rented a cottage built high upon the pine wooded bluff, hired a negro with his guns and fishing tackle upon the walls. Some asked him if he had brought any books with him and he answered: "No, I left them in the black shadow of the university. What I'm looking for is sunshine. And, by the way, yonder it is now, out in that boat." That, in fact, was not the name of a girl sitting in a boat not far out from the end of the pier on which Crandall and a newly-formed acquaintance were standing. It was not the name by which she was known among the neighbors, but a name which any stranger might have applied to her. Her hair, as it streamed in the breeze, was a white streak. When she stood erect, she did at the moment Crandall spoke of her, she was a picture of a grace so true as might never be effaced from the mind. "Who is she?" he asked of the man who stood beside him; and thus was he enlightened: "She is the granddaughter of an old fellow who lives in that queer-looking house up yonder, the one with the round tower. About here it is known, and he himself boasts of the fact, that he is the grendon of a famous French pirate who once infested the son up there, and whose offenses were condoned by her, and whose services which he rendered Andrew Jackson's army. I don't know what her name is." "I believe I'll row over and have a talk with her," said Crandall. "You may do as you like, but the old man is dead set against any attentions that strangers pay her." By this time Crandall was in his boat. The girl did not take notice of his approach—she paid not the slightest heed to him until he spoke, and then, turning to him, she said: "I'm not acquainted with you." "A fact which I acknowledge with regret," he replied. "Oh, you do!" she said, giving him a full view of her wondrous eyes. --- "Yes, and your name is—let me see. Isn't your grandfather a grandson of the Le-Feete—or whatever his name was—who robbed on the sea and built a fort on Lake Ponchartrain?" "You seem to have read history, at any time." "Yes. I have skimmed the most important events, and I can dip up a happening all right, but dates run through my skimmer. What are you trying to catch here?" "Fish," she answered; and he replied: "I might have surmised as much; and then she rejoined: 'Oh, as to that, a man doesn't often take the trouble to surmise reasonably when his only object is to gain an opportunity to ask a question." "By George, Miss Pirate, you are as sharp as your old ancestor, and when she had looked at him and laughed, for the rehearsal she not displease her, he added: 'It may be a light up concern, but we are neighbors. I live uponder among the nines.'" "Oh, you are the crazy man," she said, looking at him closer. He looked back at her in astonishment, and she explained: "That's what some of the folks believe. What else could they think of a man who hangs up a leather bag and hits it nearly all night?" He explained that he was merely taking exercise and she asked him why he didn't cut wood, and he replied that it would give him pleasure to make chips fly for her. She tried to frown at him, but laughed. They had been drifting along together. Now she took up the cars. He asked her what she was going to do, and she replied that she was going home, of course. He could not expect her to remain out there with a stranger. He asked her what she was shortly afterward he muttered an imminent against himself for not having nerve enough to follow her, and late that night he turned from the punching bag and said to himself: "Come, old fellow, brush that face out of your mind. But is it in my "I'M NOT ACQUAINTED WITH YOU." mind? 'Isn't it deeper? Ah, didn't the heart camera take a snap shot at her?' And, bounding up, he furiously attacked the bag. It was his intention to go out upon the water early the next morning in the hope of seeing her, but the dawn came with a lashing of rain on the roof. But later in the day he went over to the "Piratage." There was a high fence about the house, and the water was flowing down the chain and padlock. He shook the gate and shouted and after a time an old man with a bushy head of fierce-looking hair came out upon the veranda and demanded to know the cause of such a disturbance at his gate. Crandall replied that no disturbance was intended, and then the old man asked him what he wanted. Crandall didn't know exactly what to say—he didn't care to blurt that he wanted to see the girl, so he remarked: "Why do we, see our neighbors, "Oh, we are!' the old man broke in. "And if that's the case don't you think you ought to have waite' for me to call first?" "Well, yes." Crandall admitted, "that would have been more formal; but I am willing to dispense with formality." ping inside and shutting the door; and as Crandall was about to turn away he thought he heard the music of a mischievous laugh. During all this he was in the night he worried over the truth that the picture had been taken by his heart instead of his mind. The next morning he was on the pier when the sun arose and his eye swept the flashing water, but he did not see her; and after waiting until noontime he returned to the house to brood over her, to gaze inward at her picture, with hair streaming like a flame. Late in the afternoon he wandered by the wooded shore and suddenly he halted, with his heart beating hard, for there she sat beneath a pine tree, stood and looked at the quiet water. He halted, stood and looked at the withdraw her eyes from the sleeping sea, for she had not heard him; but he stepped back, to retreat in the timidity that suddenly had come upon him; a twig snapped beneath his foot and she looked round. "I beg your pardon," said he; and she replied: "Oh, no, but I beg your pardon for laughing when you were driven away from our gate." He sat down beside her and she made no objection. And they talked with a freedom that cut an hour short. At last a voice called her and she started up, declaring that she did not know it was so late. "He called you, marie," said Crandall. "It is a pretty name." "Good by," she said, running away from him. "When map I see you again?" he called after her, and back came the words: "Oh, you mustn't think of that. Perhaps not at all." He returned to the place the next afternoon and waited until after the sun had set. TERRACE THE OLD MAN AT THE DOOR. She did not come. But the next day he found her reading in the woods. She was self-possessed, but this time she blushed when suddenly he appeared before her and then he disappeared, and it ferent from the tone of railley that had characterized their first meeting. And thus they met, sometimes every day for a week, and then not at all for several days. She would never agree to an appointment, always leaving their meeting to chance. One day they sat gazeing upon the dreamy sea. "I had taken so severe a course in athletics that I had reason to believe that all emotion had been trained out of me," he said. "Violent exercise is sometimes an offset to strong mental—I might believe that all emotion was all a fallacy." She looked at him as if she did not understand his meaning, and, though he knew she did, yet he pretended that he did not. "Have you been trying to feel strong emotion?" she asked, and he replied: "No, not trying to feel it." "I don't know what you mean," she said, and then he cried: "Oh, yes, you do," and he put his arms about her; and the hours flew and the sun sunk and flamed upon the water, "like your hair spread out," he said. And then they heard the old man calling her. He was near at hand and he saw Crandall. "Here," said he. "We got want to say anything to you, of you from this, you will be the black flag of my ancestors flying from the tower on my house. If you come on my land you will be shot, and if you attempt to influence any further the mind of this child I will hunt you and kill you." "She is to be my wife," said Cranall. Then she is to be a bride and a widow at the same time," replied the old man. He led me to the home and walked the floor all night; and when morning came he looked out and there was the black flag of the Ponchastara pirates floating from the tower on the old man's house. He roamed about in the woods all day, but did not see the girl. And each morning there was the black flag, and there it was at night, a patch of deeper darkness against the dark sky; and one night, when lightning flashed, he saw it streaming, red, like a flame—like her hair. Once he ventured near the house, and a bullet nipped a bit of bark under a tree just above his head. Early one morning he stood on the pier waiting for the sun to rise, but, instead, a cloud and a wind arose, almost a hurricane. Suddenly he saw a sailboat near by, struggling hard, and then it was overturned and blown fast away, leaving a man struggling in the water. He was in a thick thought that he recognized the girl's grandfather. He did not hesitate. He sprang into the sea, seized the old fellow and swam to shore with him; and, staggering upon the sand, he looked at Cranall and said: "You fool, why didn't you me drown?" Crandall went home and sat down to brood, with the black flag still in sight. It was the last day of the year. Early the next morning before it was light he went out and was standing near his door when a cloud lifted and the sun flashed; and then his heart leaped, for the black flag was gone. And just at that moment the old man, leading the girl by the hand, came round the corner of the house. "I have brought you a New Year's present," he said. Method.

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.

Used a Free Trial Package of a Remedy and the Result Was Wonderful. Nothing can be more unfortunate to a lady than to lose her hair.

The highest wages to women teachers are paid in California and the District of Columbia, an average of $64 a month. The average salaries paid school-teachers in the entire United States in 1899 were $45.25 a month for men and $38.14 a month for women. There are 16,738,362 children and young men and women being educated in the schools and colleges of the United States—1,503,921 in private institutions. In 1899 the people of the United States spent $197,251,603 to educate their children, which is $2.67 per capita of population and $3.20 per capita of children of the school age. There are 244,527 schoolhouses, dormitories and other buildings in the United States devoted to education, and they are valued at $524,689,255. There are 415,660 teachers—131,793 men and 283,667 women. In Illinois the average for men was $60.42 and women $33.27; in Indiana, $48 for men and $43 for women; in Michigan, $44 for men and $35 for women, and in Wisconsin, $41 and $29. Wisconsin pays her schoolma'ams less than any other of the states. The average paid to men teachers in Massachusetts in 1899 was $136.23 a month; in Rhode Island, $103.74; in Nevada, $101 a month. Schoolma'ams do not fare so well in those states, their pay in Massachusetts averaging $51.41; in Rhode Island, $51, and in Nevada, $61.50. NOTES OF UNION LABOR. San Francisco printers are jubilant over the establishment of the nine-hour day in that city. The laundry workers at Savannah, Ga., have organized the first union of their calling in that state. The national secretary of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners, in his last report, shows a cash balance of $1,044,605. Every German paper except one in the United States is under the jurisdiction of the German-American Typographical union. Fifty new unions and 37 new branches have been organized during the last 17 months by the United Brewery Workmen's union. Of members of nearly 800 labor organizations in France between seven and ten per cent. are out of work, and at present over 20,000 persons are either striking or are locked out over labor differences. The Atlanta Federation of Trades has presented the Universalist church of that city with a memorial window in recognition of the stand taken by that congregation in favor of union labor during the carpenters' strike in Atlanta. Reports of the bureau of labor statistics of New York for the last quarter show that active organization work continues, and that a gain of 15,000, embracing 151 unions, was made to the membership in that period. New York state now has 1,603 labor organizations, with an aggregate membership of 247,602. THE WHEELS OF TRAFFIC. Two thousand tons of American steel rails are being sent to Italy for use on the railways. Out of nearly 30,000 pressed steel cars there has never been one which has been wrecked beyond repair. The English staff system of dispatching trains has been put in force upon the single bridge now being by all the lines entering Galveston, Tex., in order to expedite the traffic. The Chicago & Northwestern railway, in order to enter Peoria, Ill., from Sterling, purchased the village of Pottstown entire, and will move every house in order to occupy the site of the town with yard tracks. Thirty new freight engines are to be put on the tracks of the Chicago, Burlington & Qulney railroad next March. The engines will differ from the average freight train puller in having wider and shorter fireboxes. The weight of each engine on its drivers will be 120,000 pounds. Paul Storitzky, of the Moscow locomotive works, who is making an inspection of locomotive works in this country, says: "There are six or eight locomotive factories in Russia, one of the largest being located at Kolomna, not far from Moscow. I am satisfied, however, that for all general purposes the machines made in this country are superior for the Russian service." CASUAL OBSERVATIONS. (From Mr. Dooley's Philosophy, Copyright by R. H. Russell, New York.) If ye live enough byfure 30 ye won't care to live at all afther 50. To most people a savage nation is wan that doesn't wear oncomf'rtable clothes. As Shakespeare says, be thrue to ye'erself an' ye will thin be false to ivry man. All th' wurruld loves a lover—except sometimes th' wan that's all th' wurruld to him. If ye shrink befure sivin ye'll cry befure iliven. Ivry man has his superstitions. If I ook at a new moon over me shoulder I get a crick in me neck. Dhressmakers' bills sins women into dithrachoor an' men into an early decline. All men are br-rave in comp'ny an' sow'rs alone, but some shows it clearer thin others. F. 1,000 REWARD.

Hearing of the wonderful work being done by Dr. Shea the last few years, I thought I would call and see him myself. I found him a kind sympathetic gentleman. He gave me a wonderful test of his powers, said me to send him a lock of patient which did by her daughter.

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Is the Wish of THE SOUTHERN AID SOCIETY Our agents have been kept busy writing Applications; some have joined out of mere curiosity while others have come in because they know of our merits. We have received many complimentary letters of thanks, coming from grateful members, on account of our prompt PAYMENT OF SICK AND BURIAL CLAIMS. Our motto, "Honesty the best policy" has not been lost sight of and we attribute our success to the strict adherence of these principles. Our enemies of the past are now our friends because we pay promptly. The important question is not whether you can afford to carry a policy with us, but is it safe not to have the protection we offer? Its not what a person earns, but its the use to which they put their earnings that insure comfort in sickness. No use of trying to beg money now a-days to bury your friends. The people will say, Do As I Have Done. Look out for the rainy day. No need of a city doctor and a pauper's burial now when 5 and 10 cents a week will supply the need. You had just as well see this at once and follow the crowd. Everybody is Going SOUTHERN AID Way! We could tell you of the thousands of dollars paid out for sickness and death, but what's the use? You are best pleased when you are sure of getting what's coming to you. Join now, don't wait for bad health and old age. When our Agents call on you just give them your application, no need of waiting. Delays are dangerous. Information cheerfully furnished by our Agents or at our offices.

Dear Mother: I received your kind and loving letter some time ago and also the package of papers. Your kind letter found me well and in the best of health, and I also hope that you are enjoying the blessings of good health. I received a letter from Walter some time ago. Mother I have no idea when I will leave the island as I expect to serve my time out here. The Filipinos are fighting every day on the South lines. We are on the North line and we are having a very good time at present. I Company of the 24th Infantry had had luck some time ago, they lost about 10 men, captured. There was one man in I Company, 24th Infantry, who deserted last year and he is with the Insurgents and is a Major in the army. Mother I am sorry Mr. Smith has gone blind. In meeting and passing please give my love to all and tell them I wish to see them all once more. K Company has had good luck far, we have not lost many men only about 15 and the most from them from sickness. The last man we had to get wounded was John Newton, who lives up in the west end. Tell Walter he is Babcock him any time in James Babcock's saloon. The most danger we have is with a few men sending them for rashions and mail. Give my love so Rev. Evans Payne and his family. Tell Walter to give my love to his wife, the children, uncles Isaiah and Eddy, aunts Sallie and Emma; Jimnie and James. Please give my love to Mr. Williams and his family. Tell Martha when she writes again to send me some nice books and tell Walter to give my love to all the boys up at Christian's school. Just as soon as I get a chaperone I will have my photo graphic taken and send you one. Give my best respects to Mr. Brauer and tell him if he was over here he would make plenty of money batcher as meat sells for 15 cts a pound. Bye bye, write soon.

GULF PORT, Miss., Dec. 20—Lewis, the young colored man who last night shot and killed Marshal W. E. Richardson, was captured this afternoon eight miles from town. A mob, which had followed the bloody bounds used to track the murderer, immediately took Lewis from the officer, dragged him back to town, and hanged him to a tree near to town, and killed his crime. He was also captured, but Home Office, 524 N. Second Street, Richmond, Virginia. BRANCH OFFICES: Hustling Agents Wanted. Did You Ever Think?

A PRETTY DESK, ODD PARLOR PIECES, MANTLE, MIRRORS, MORRIS CHAIR, ROCKERS, PICTURES, COUCH, CURIO CASE, PEDESTALS OR LAMPS, Are a few suggestions, from our lovely line of goods. I probably will not be lynched. Early last evening Marshal Richard son was expostulatins with a colored man who was demanding the arrest of a white boy for some trivial affair. A crowd gathered and Lewis was in the midst. Suddenly he drew a pistol and fired at the Marshal, killing him instantly. He escaped from town, but bloodhounds brought from the county seat soon ran him down. The posse is still pursuing the two Lewis boys and their cousin. The trio were in the vicinity of Wolf river today, and their capture is regarded as certain. Intense excitement prevails at Gulf Port, and some hot-heads are talking of moving on Mississippi City to take out and lynch old man Alvin Lewis. As a result of the tragedy the colored church at Gulf Port was burned last night. If your teeth are "out of fix," Dr. P. B. Ramsey is the one for you to go and see.
