THE RICHMOND PLANET XVIII NO 21 WAS NO LYNCHING. SOLOMON TAYLOR IS SAFE IN CHESTER FIELD JAIL. OFFICIALS IN FEAR OF VIOLENCE. Extra Guards on Duty at the Jail in Anticipation Trou- Taylor Stoutly Maintains His Innocence of the Crime Charged. Great interest was manifested in this city and in Manchester last night in the fate of Solomon Taylor, the colored man taken to Osterfield Court-house for insurrection there to answer to a charge of criminal assault on Mrs. Cosley. This interest was heightened by the knowledge that plans had been forming to intercept the officer having the man in charge on the trip from Manchester to the Courthouse, and the belief that, though flailed in this attempt another effort would be made to take the colored man from the officers last night and lynch him. Ground for these apprehensions was amply afforded by the gathering and mysterious movements of bodies of mounted men along the country road between the city and the county courthouse. Even with the prisoner securely behind the bars of the steel cell, apprehensions of lynching were still dealt. THE CITUATION HOPEFUL The fears proved groundless, however, as the following special, wired from Centralia this morning by a mem ber of the Dispach staff, conclusively shows: "At 2 o'clock this morning everything was quiet at the Oheasterfield courthouse. Extra guards were on duty at the jail, but no trouble was anticipated from mob violence. Early in the afternoon a mob, but nothing is looked for now, and the law will undoubtedly be permitted to take its course. "Yesterday at noon Commonwealth Attorney Wells, upon the suggestion of Judge Clepton, came to the courthouse and sword in A. M. M. Cheatham, L. A. Fish, E. T. Britton and W. J. Emerick, as special guards to assist Jailer Britton, in protecting the prisoner. "Taylor is confined in an inner cell which was occupied by Gus DeFoed when confined in the county jail a short time ago. SAYS HE JEANNOGEN "When seen by the Dispatch representative, about Mr. o'clock, Taylor stoutly protested his innocence, and but for his positive identification by Mrs. Cosley and her $-year-old daughter, his story would impress one as being true. Everything possible was done to hide him to confess to the murder. The court ordered man fully realizes his position, but seems to think that he will be able to prove an alibi. "Yesterday, Clerk Cogbill, acting under instructions from Judge Clopton, summoned a special grand jury for Monday morning. A trial jury will be summoned to day by Sheriff Gill, and everything will be ready by Monday for the meeting out of justice. That prisoner will be borne and the prisoner will be tried once there is no doubt. He has not assumed counsel, but the Court will assign him counsel. "Chesterfield county has not been stirred by such a crime for more than ten years. In 1890, Simon Walker, a colored boy only 17 years old, outraged a 18-year-old girl near Swift Creek. It was thought that he would be summarily dealt with, and a strong guard was placed over him. He was given a speedy trial, found guilty, and sentenced to be hanged. Governor Lee commuted the sentence to a life term in the penitentiary, escaping the death penalty, owing to his youth. The Chesterfield jail is a strong stone building. The modern steel cells on the second floor are so arranged as to make it well air-conditioned for a mob to get at the prisonhouse, out first overpowering the jailer and compelling him to unlock the different steel doors." OUTWITTED MOBS. Constable W. E Grant, of Chesterfield, outwitted well-organized mobs yesterday morning when he removed Taylor to the Chesterfield county jail. It had been rumored that the officer would remove the prisoner from the Manchester city jail, where he was in residence, evening, to the county prison by private car. Mr. Grant was advised not to take the risk, but rather go by train, and it afterwards developed that it was well for his charge that he did. Early in the morning several well-known citizens of the county called upen Justice Criddle at his home, in Swans boro, and inquired by what route he officer would make the trip. The Justice did not connect these simple requests with troubles, and he informed his questinners that the trip would be made by one of the county roads, and that the start would be made from Manchester at 8 o'clock. This was the programme that Mr. Grant had mapped out, but he soon saw that it would be indiscrete, and decided to go to Centralia by rail and from there to the court house by carriage. He sent a telegra and had a buggy to meet him at the station. When he reached the station he was surprised to see a large crowd of people there to meet him. He hurried the frightened colored man into the little waiting room and from there with greater baste into the vehicle, and gave instructions that the trip to the jail be made by the most unfrequented road, and as speedy as possible. LODGED IN JAIL. This was done, and the prisoner lodged in jail in an inner cell, where it was thought that it would be almost impossible for a mob to secure him When the Constable was returning from the court-house to Centraia he was appressed of the fact that two well-organized bands had been stationed along the county road—one on the Broad Rock road and the other on the New River road. It was said that each was commended by a man who knew this business, and that communication was had at intervals between the two bodies. Their obgrain must have been great when they found that they had been outwitted by the shrewd Constable. When Constable Grant returned to the city she made the facts known to Judge Olepton, Judge of the Chesterfield County Court, and to Commonwealth's Attorney E. H. Wells. These gentlemen, after a lengthy consultation, decided that an extra strong guard should be stationed at the jail, and Mr. Wells left Manchester early in the afternoon to attend to the matter.

Whilst I am writing, I must say that my residence, 229 S. street, caught on fire March 4th early in the morning and burn down and everything I had was consumed by fire without anguish, and I barely escaped myself. It is very hard, but I guess fair. I cannot close without saying something about your paper. The Richmond PLANET is a good paper to read, it befriends our race in everything that is honest and every man that does right; strikes every person a heavy blow to every man that does wrong that comes in its way. It gives justice to the dead. Rev. John Jasper in particular. It also defends Freedman's Saving Bank. It hope it will continue to do so until congress makes every dollar good of that Bank to the depositors. Please accept this dollar, you shall have the other 500s before a month from to-day. Keep fighting for our race. God has been with you and He will continue to be with you, and I will continue to pray for your success during life. I remain very respectfully your true friend and subscriber. H. ADAMS. SELMIA, ALA., May 2—Three colored men were found dead this morning near the cabin in which Deputy-Sherif Edwards was killed Sunday night, ten miles south of Salma-Ed. Dawson, a nephew of Henry Dawson, in whose house Edwards was killed was found dead in the public road, vehicles having to drive out of the road to pass. The other two were, shot in the cabin. They are supposed to have been implicated in the murder of Edwards. The colored people are terrorized, and are fleeting to the city. On account of the revivals of religion going on at the several Churches, the Sunday School institutes advertised to be had at the several Churches on the 14, and of May will be postponed, and further to be held. All parties kindly taking part will keep their subject for further date. Yours truly. Mr. John H. Johnson, the Sec. of the Union Bloom of Youth Ben., Club No. 1 is out after being confined to his home 108 E. Charity St. for several months. --Miss Emma J. Carter and Miss Tabb of Peterburg, Va., are the guest of Mrs. Annie Johnson of N. First St. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1901. MR. STEWARD REPLIES Editor the PLANET;— I must once more beg permission to spake through the columns of the PLAN ET. In your issue of the 4th inst the R-vv J. H. Brise attempted to reply to my letter in the issue of the 27th of April. It is only an attempt. It is no answer to my letter. My reason for going again to point out the fall sides is that Re. Brise's letter contains This done I shall not further pursue the controversy. The reverend gentleman raised a lot of dust which, no doubt he thinks will blind the public so that it will not see the true issue in the case. He poses well as injured innocence. Ist. He asserts that I charged him while he had. This I deny. For I stated when he had, and then said dustily that I would not charge him with plagiarism but would leave that for the public to decide. He wonders if I understand the meaning of the term plagiarism, saying if I did not, the would proceed to inform me; and then he goes to work and gives the identical definition of plagiarism which I had quoted from Webster's dictionary in my letter calling attention to his conduct. Is that not dust with a vengeance? It will be observed that the Rev. M. Brice does not duly that he has violated the rules of the literary people all over the world but stamps it to justify himself in doing so. That he had a perfect right to reason that he had out telling the audience from whom whence it came. Let us test the soundness of this argument. A few years ago Dr. Talmage published in the public press a series of splendid sermons which he had written and preached. Now if the position of Rev. Mr. Brice be a correct one he has a perfect right to greet any one of Dr. Talmage's sermons from his (Brice's) putt without telling the congregation from whom or whence it came. Does any reason able person believe that he has any such right? Besides, he did the poem along with but "contributed" the poem along with other matter "for publication" over his life. He claims that he read the position on clipping, that he did not reproduce it. Yes, but he "contributed" it to be reproduced. Then too, that "clipping" must have had the name of the author of the poem at the bottom of it or else it had been so clipped as to leave off the name of the author. Rev. Mr. Brice asks if I have not borrowed from other minds. To this, I answer that borrowing thoughts from others and taking the thoughts and language of others bodily and using them as one's own are two altogether different things. Shakespeare says. This world is a stage in the thousand and women are actors'. Now, after reading this in Shakespeare's works, I may say something I please in my own language or style about the world being a stage, etc., without giving credit. This is what I understand as borrowing from other minds. Else what do we read books for? But when I use the exact language, and style, word for word from Shakespeare's or any body else's writings I must give due credit or be guilty of plagiarism. If this be not so, there is no such thing as plagiarism, from Shakespeare's, with Mr. Brice says about Pythianism, will give me quarreling, Negroes being jealous of other, and about the 20th century, etc., all that is simply some more of his dust, but it will mystify no one. All I attempted to do in the onset was to call public attention to the violation by Rev. Mr. Brice of certain rules recognized by the literati of the world; and in the present letter to the fallacies in his attempted reply. This, I think I have accomplished and I shall have nothing more to say on this subject. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for your courtesy, I am. Respectfully, O. M. S. SWARD. Richmond, Va., May 6, 1901. A Letter From Boston. BOSTON, MASS., April 23rd, 1901. Editor of the PLANE: Mrs. Bettie C. Jennings, formerly of Granite, Va., but now of Boston, Mass. graduated from the Mass.

A. were held at Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church Sunday, May 5th, 1901, a 8 o'clock p.m. The day was clear and beautiful, and long before the appointed time people were thronging to the spacious edifice hoping to secure seats. The ladies assembled in the basem of the church, and as is their cus t m, welcomed the arrival of the Grand Worthy Church, Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. accompanied by his brilliantly attended staff the Uniform Rank, and Sir Knights of the K of P. when they filed into the church followed by the Knights.

Forrester, who is a member of the Order. On each side of the pulpit and tables were vases of the choicest out flowers of the season, and blue, green and white ribbon streamers, the Court colors. In the pulpit were Dr W. F. Graham the orator of the occasion, Rev. J. Strange, the new minister of the Third St. A. M. E. Church, Rev S. C. Burrell Rev D. W. Davis, A. M. and Rev. Burchett. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. was master of ceremonies. The exercises began with singing Doxology by the congregation. The Scripture lesson was read by Rev. S. O. Burrell, Secretary of the Y. M. O. A. I the abusee of Rev. J. A. Bowler Rev. Strange offered up a farce. The choir rendered excellent and stirring music that was enjoined by all THE FINE RENDITION. Miss Gertrude Blochus then rendered the selection: 'The Old Man in the model Church' Her rendition was superb and her gestures perfect. She held the audience spell-bound as she impersonated the old man and when the choir joined in and sang "Carona to the audience was enraptured She don’t have the emotion and porrayed so vividly the emotion and host thronging to the shore that when joined in with the choir and sang "There will be no sorrow there" more than one eye was moistened as she gracefully bowed and took her seat. The Anniversary sermon was delivered by Dr. W. F. Graham, the distinguished pastor of the Fifth St. Baptist Church. Although he apologized to the audience, stating that he had been up at his desk throughout the week and felt unable to do justice to himself and the occasion yet all agreed that they had never heard him preach bett-x. REV DR. GRAHAM'S FINE EFFORT. The theme of his dissourse was, "Woman's Work" and he ably pistured the good accomplished in all ages by woman. The sermon was highly appreciated by everybody present and would worthless man is in every sphere in life without the fostering care of woman it is kindly to say that all the ladies are in fear of having him preach for them again. Rev. D. W. Davs then offered the Thanksgiving prayer. The choir sang another selection after which the Grand Worthy Counsellor, Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. spoke on the "Prospects of the Order," the subject selected by the committee and assigned him. The packed church, perfect order, and fine program already rendered seemed to have inspired him and he delivered an excellent address showing that the prospects were never brighter than at present in the Order. Since last anniversary members have poured into the Order. Over three hundred have joined the Courts; 8 new Courts have been organized and two more ready to be made next week. THE PRINCIPLES OF THE ORDER. The principles of the Order and benefits promised have been kept to the people hence they see nothing to do but join our ranks. He stated the wonderful success that had attended every movement of the Order within the short space of four years, and that for the past twelve months the finances had been so nicely managed that $1000 in clear money has been realised in the Grand Lodge alone; $18000 had been paid in death claims, not including burial benefits. The audience heartily enjoyed all that he said and applause greeted nearly every statement made. He flattered himself on being able to get a fine collection from a large growd and his friends certainly rallied to his request and gave $28.00 to the church and $10.00 to Dr. Graham After a vote of thanks to the church, choir. Miss Gertrude Buschus, all who took part in the exercises, Miss M. L. "hiles and her committee of ladies who secured the church and arranged everything for the anniversary, the congratulation sang "God be with you till we meet again," after which Kevin D. W.

MONTFORT CHAPTER VL SIM SUPRISES HIS NEIGHBORS. Sim Banks did not go home at once, but passed on down the street in the direction of Hicks' store. It had been his custom to go there every night to join the little group of men who always congregated around the store stove in the winter and on the platform in front of the door in the summer to loaf away their idle hours. He had long been one of the leading spirits in these meetings, and heretofore he had come to them boldly, and in the talks that followed his voice had been heard taking an important part. But tonight he approached with haking step and shamed face and sat down quietly on the edge of the platform on the very outskirts of the group. He hoped no one would notice his presence, and he was careful to do nothing to attract attention to it. Pap Sampson was there and Jason Roberts and Jim Thorn and a number of others, and most prominent among them all and most in evidence in the conversation was Ebenezer Snarks. Very naturally, the subject under discussion was the war and the battle that had that day been fought in their hearing. Ebenezer, with wonderful effrontery, seized the first opportunity to begin a rehash of the oft told stories of brave deeds performed by him in the Mexican war and to reannounce his consuming desire to again take up a soldier's life and join in the fight and experience the dangers and hardships of war as he had done in days gone by. Sim listened to Ebenezer in astonishment. It was a mystery to him how a man could have the assurance to boast of his bravery when only 2 few hours ago he had shown the very men to whom he was talking that he was an arrant coward. Sim knew that he had acted the part of a coward, and he knew that every man there knew it, and he was resolved that if no one mentioned that event until he did it would never be mentioned. Ebenezer talked on for some time before Pap Sampson brought his cane down with a thump and said: "Thar, Ebenezer Sparks, that'll do. We all know how brave you are, so thair an't a grain of use in the world for you to waste your breath a-tellin us about it. Lord, you made that all plumb plain to us today, you an Sim Banks both." "Sim don't seem to be doin much talkin 'bout the way he done," Jason observed, with a laugh. "Guess he believes in lettin his actions speak for themselves." "Lord, Jason, I reckon the way Sim's woman done kind of took the tucks 33 He hoped no one would notice his presence. outen him," Pap said. Then, turning to Sim, he added, "She kind of hit you pooty hard, didn't she, Sim?" "No harder'n I deserved, I guess," Sim replied dryly. "I did act the miserable coward, an it ain't no wonder she was ashamed of me." "Say, by granny, but that's one way to talk, ain't it?" Jason said after a short silence. "You ain't a bit like Ebenezer, Sim. He done more cowardly than you, but you won't ketch him ownn of it, nary a time." "I can't help nothin 'bout what Ebenezer does," Sim replied. "It don't do no good to deny the truth when ever-body knows what I done." "You're right thar, Sim." Pap Sampson said heartily. "Addin vinegar to a sound puddin ain't goin to make it no sweeter, an addin a lie to another fault ain't goin to make the other fault no less. They is gospel truths if that ever was one outside of the Holy Writ, an it'd be a good thing for you, Ebenezer Sparks, to take 'em into your crawn an digest 'em along at old spells." "Pap Sampson," Ebenezer exclaimed, bristling up, "do you 'low to insinuate that I been a-lynn." "Lord, no, Ebenezer! I ain't no hand to insinuate, but when a coward makes out like he's brave if he ain't lyn he's gittin right slap next door to it." "You better be keerful, Pap," Jim Thorn said. "or first thing you know you'll have Ebenezer's old woman down on you. Can't nobody make her think he 'nin brave, you bet!" "She ain't much like Sim's wife, is she? Jason asked. Then he added: "By jinks, I think Sim's wife cut up too rough with him. I tell you right now I'd like to see my woman try any such capers as them on me, especially right afolks. Lord, I'd leave 'er so quick that it'd make her head swim." "You all hear what Mary Mann said, I guess," Jim Thorn remarked. "I been thinkin' 'bout that, an I don't know if the word she spoke wa'n't a true word. Sim's woman did 'pear to be a right smart struck with the looks of that stranger, an". "Jim Thorn, you are a liar!" They all looked up in astonishment, and there was Sim Banks standing among them, his eyes ablaze with anger and his form trembling with suppressed rage. "Jim Thorn," he repeated, "you are a liar, a dirty, cowardly, miserable, sneakln liar, an you'll take back them words or I'll knock your head clean down your throat!" Thorn sprang to his feet and started to run, but in an instant Sim had hold of his collar with one hand and with the other had given him a blow on the side of the head that sent him to the floor as limp as a rag. Sim would have followed up his advantage and pounded Thorn unmercifully, but Pap Sampson and the rest interfered, and five or six of them held him while the others got Thorn away. B. Pap Simpson and the rest interfered. After it was all over and Sim had been released they stood about him for some time, looking at him in silence and with a kind of awe. To them he had suddenly become a new man, and they felt that they did not know him. It was Hicks who broke the pause. "Why, Sim," he said, "what's come over you? Who'd a' ever dreamed of you doin sich a thing as that?" "Let him keep his mouth shot an quit a-lyn 'bout Louesy, then." Sim replied, not exactly in line with Hicks' questions. "I'll hit him ag'in if he dast to say sich another thing, an I'll hit anybody else that does it, an I'll hit to kill." "Well, that's all right, Sim, but you jest cool down now. Jim Thorn was the only one that said anything, an you've done hit him, so thar ain't no more to do, an you'd jest as well git quiet." "My land, Sim, you shore hit him a good un!" Jason said. "I never see a purler lick struck in all my life." "An it was all done so quick," another observed. "Why, them words wasn't much more'n outen Jim Thorn's mouth till Tim Sim was a-standin up here an sayn, 'Jim Thorn, you are a liar!' jest that a-way. Then Jim starts to run, an afore I knowed it Sim had gathered him by the collar an give him that lick." "An wasn't it a lick, though?" Jason said. "Why, say, it jest keeled Jim over thar so quick that I bet he never knew what done it." "I bet he didn't know nothin touched him—jest flopped down thar for all the world like a shot hog. Didn't 'low it was in you to hit a feller like that, Sim." "Lord, I reckon Sim never known it neither." Pap Sampson said, "but he knows it now, an you all better look out. No matter how harmless a dog is while he's asleep, he may be the wust kind of a dog when you wake him up. An Sim Banks is awake now." "An you'd all better not fool with him if you don't want to git hurt." Hicks added. "You'd all better not say nothin' 'bout Louesey," Sim said, "less'n you all wants to git your heads punched." "Guess nobody hain't goin to say nothin' 'bout Louesey." Pap Sampson replied, "so you might's well quit a-throwin' that at us. Jim Thorn had no business to speak the word he did, even if it had been a true word, an I most know it wasn't, an you done right an nat'ral to take it up. I'm a peaceable man myself, as you uns all know, an ingin'ally I set my face ag'in fussin an foughttin, but I ain't got nary a word to say ag'in a man what fights for his woman's good name. So I say, Sim Banks, an I say it open an above-board, you done jest right, an ever' fair minded man an woman is bound to say the same." "That's what they are," Jacob Hicks promptly agreed. "My land, Pap, you uns all knows I ain't no hand to mix up in no furse an that Iain't never fit nobody in all my life, but you jest let some feller say ary a single word ag'in my woman, an if the fur don't fly it won't be my fault. Them's my sentiments ever' time, an I ain't a-keerin who knows it." "Course, Sim done right," another said, with that ready sympathy people are apt to feel for the victor as against the vanquished. "I'd 'a' done jest like him if I'd 'a' been in his place, only I bet I'd 'a' laid Jim Thorn out so's he wouldn't 'a' got up no more for a month." "By granny," said another, "I 'low Jim got off powful easy myself! It were a good thing it wa'n't me he had to deal with." "An you can bet your hide it was moughty fortunate for him," remarked a third, "that it wa'n't me." Pap Sampson thumped his cane against the floor and laughed. "You uns are all a-talkin' pow'ful big," he said, "but you uns better not forget that Jim Thorn 'n't dead yit. Tain't sensible to go foolm roon' a RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. mule's heels Tess you got business that." As Sim Banks walked home that night he felt greatly elated, and in his soul there was a kind of feeling closely akin to intoxication. He stood erect, with a bearing proud and disdainful, held his head well up and walked with a step firm and confident. In knocking Jim Thorn down the way he did he had demonstrated to his neighbors that he was not so much a coward as they had supposed. That within itself was a great deal to be proud of, for he felt that in removing the stain of cowardice from his name he had raised an almost insupportable burden from his soul. But that was not all nor yet the chief cause of his elation. Louisa would learn what he had done, and she would know that he had done it for her sake. He would not tell her, but others would. His knowledge of human nature was limited, but it was broad enough to tell him that his praises sung by others would be far more effective than if sung by himself. That she would be pleased he felt assured, for she would understand how well he loved her and how more ready he was than any one else on earth to stand up in her defense. Then, too, she would realize that he was not the contemptible coward she had thought him and because of which she had spoken of him and to him in such harsh terms. Perhaps she would even speak words of praise for his conduct, and perhaps—oh, happy thought!—she might put her arms about his neck and kiss him. That would be a reward indeed, and for such a reward he would be willing to fight the whole world. Fond, sweet hope! But how many of our most precious hopes are born only to perish with their first breath of life! When Sim reached home, he found the house dark and Louisa in bed. He B What did it mean? went in and struck a light and prepared to retire. His wife was asleep, and he moved about noiselessly so as not to wake her. Presently his eye fell on a scrap of paper lying on the floor. Mechanically he took it up and glanced at the writing it bore. Instantly he sat up and read it eagerly through. Then, puzzled and mystified, he read it again and again. These were the words the paper contained: My dear Louis—Never let anybody know that you love me and for God's sake don't tell a living soul who I am. So soon as possible I will see you and explain. What did it mean? MONTANA POKER GAMES. One Man Lost $50,000 in a Night and Another Won a Jackpot with $46,600 in It. The recent closing of the faro and roulette games in Helena and Butte, Mont., has turned the gambling element toward poker, and in the last week there have been some of the stiffest games of draw poker ever played in Montana. "I witnessed one of these games in a hotel room the other night," said a gambles, "and I must say that despite my long years in the business I never before saw such nery plays and for such large amounts. "On this particular night Silas King, the Butte sport, lost nearly $50,000. HELENA POKER SHARPS and of this Kit Carson and Swede Sam won the major portion. The game was for table stakes and at times there was fully $75,000 on the table. Swede Sam had three aces beaten by a flush once for $7,500, and again the Swede lost $8,000 on three deuces against three treys held by King. The game lasted all night. "On another night a member of the legislature won $16,000. He had been a heavy loser up to that time, and opened a jackpot with three sixes for $1,000. Five stayed, and all seemed to have strengthened their hands. He bet $5,000, four men staying, the fifth laying down two pairs. "Swede Sam raised another $5,000, he having caught to his heart's desire. The others dropped out. The raine was met by the legislator, who in turn raised Sam about $2,800, all he had, remarking that he guessed he would have to sell a few more train loads of cattle if he lost; but he didn't lose. The legislator had caught his fourth six, while Sam fared equally well with his three fives. BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." 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 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 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 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.

When Senor Fesi informed his friends a few years ago that he had just bought a young bull, with the intention of training him to dance and to perform various military evolutions in the same manner as a war horse, they laughed and assured him that he would never be able to accomplish his task. Senor Fesi, however, persevered, and the result is that he is now exhibiting his bull in Germany and is proving to the satisfaction of everyone that the great clumsy looking animal is able to dance with much agility, and that he can go through all ONE OF THE BULL'S FEATS. the military evolutions quite as well as any horse.

To-day the price is 50 cents. The approximate value of the commercial fisheries of the United States in 1899 was $40,000,000, to which the oyster industry contributed about $14,000,000. From Russia (northern ports) unprinted paper is imported into Great Britain to the annual value of over £70,000. Wood pulp boards are also received in fairly large quantities from Russia. England's exports of machinery, implements, appraisal, etc., which in 1875 were $88,000,000, had increased to $100,000,000 by 1900; Germany's $16,500,000 in 1875 grew to $60,000,000 by 1900; while America's $10,000,000 in 1875 grew to $50,000,000 by 1900. The runs of the oil wells in the Montpelier (Ind.) fields for March were 477,600 barrels. The average daily shipments were 26,500 barrels, and runs about 16,000 barrels. The month's product was sold at 88 and 89 cents, and brought over $420,000. The activity in the sugar beet industry began in 1896. Since that time 35 factories have been built.

Eastern ideas of a western sheriff would be rudely exploded by the recent actions of the high officers of the county in the far southwest. When it is said that westerners themselves were surprised, startled in a land where every-day life is startling, an easterner's feelings can be imagined. Tom Turner, says the Kansas City Times, is the name of this sheriff. In the land of cacti and lizards, that part of the union known as Arizona territory, he is a power. Adventures among the cowboys and miners have made him "one of the most prominent men in the territory." But to his prominence Turner has added notoriety, a sort of fame not at all in line with the generally approved ideas of the frontier. In the county of Santa Clara, upon the river and but a short distance removed from the republic of Diaz and hot pepper, a new sheriff was deemed necessary. Not that the old sheriff was incompetent, but simply because he forgot that he held the job when he departed on a prospecting trip into the sister republic. An election was duly called. Tom Turner was almost unanimously chosen to the position. Election here did not depend upon the amount of cash expended as is the case in communities considering themselves more highly civilized, but hinged upon personal popularity. Freedom from fear also has much to do with elections, and fear was a word Turner did not know. "Tom didn't say much about the office," said one of the "constituents" in discussing the election. "Just went around attendin' to his business the same as ever. Course he talked about it, and seemed to think it would be an honer to have the place. But he didn't tell anybody what he would do if he got the job. Just pegged along. "Well, the boys all liked Tom, and they helped him all they could. Then TOM TURNER, SHERIFF. they didn't like the other feller much. So they started right in and they "lected him straight. Tom felt kinder predued that he was so poplar, and he thanked everybody. Some of the boys tried to find out what he would do when he got the office. But he told 'em to wait and see." "Come on over to the joint, boys," he remarked after talking a moment with his chief deputy. The "joint" meant the saloon, and the request seemed an invitation very welcome to the friends of the new officer, sworn to enforce the law. Therefore a willing crowd followed him to the saloon. "Tom's all right, I guess, boys," remarked one of the cattiemen. "We'll have the town by the roots before midnight, and Tom'll be with us through the scrimmage. Guess I can come in for this. I'm here for the big show, and the sooner it starts the better." Joking and laughing the cowboys and miners fled into the saloon, the new sheriff leading. He didn't joke much, and there was a peculiar look in his eye. But the boys were intent upon the prospective celebration and did not notice. All fled up to the bar and stood ready to "punish the booze." Suddenly the new sheriff whirled about. He faced the men lined up beside the bar. In his hands were a pair of six-shooters. His skill with the weapons, well known, made the small battery an exceedingly dangerous affair. As they glanced at the sheriff with startled eyes the stupefied cowboys were shocked by the hasty closing of the only door. Before it, his back firmly braced against the exit, stood the sheriff's head deputy. In his hands a pair of weapons matching those held by the higher officer made him an equally formidable proposition. "Boys, let's all be peaceable like and not have any trouble," said Tom Turner, in the even tone of a man devoid of fear. "There's a law in this country, and you've all heard me swear to enforce it. That's what I'm going to do, and I'll begin now. "First, I'll take every gun in the crowd. Then each of you will be fined $50 for carrying concealed weapons. You'll pay on the spot and consider yourselves lucky." Deftly the sheriff went through the men. Each gave up at least one revolver, some of them a pair. Then each gave up $50. "Now, boys, go ahead and have a good time," said the sheriff, with a smile, as he took possession of the weapons and pocketed the cash. "You know there's a law and now you have learned that it's going to be enforced." In Arizona the law against carrying concealed weapons makes the offense a serious crime. Although it is not rigidly enforced, the law there is the strongest of its kind in the union. At the Other End. A certain naval officer was very pompous and conceived when on duty. One day, when he was officer of the watch, and he could not, as usual, find anything of consequence to grumble about, he attempted to vent his spite on one of the stokers of the vessel, who was in the engine-room, on duty. Going to the speaking tube, the officer yelled: "Is there a blithering idiot at the end of this tube?" The reply came quick and startling: "Not at this end, sir!" The feelings of the officer, as he turned away with a black frown, can be better imagined than described.— Leslie's Weekly.

Apache Chief Who Was the Victim of an Army Officer's Hatred — Wronged by the Men He Had Befriended. THIS is the story of Es-kim-inzin, the Apache chief who suffered unmerited imprisonment, and died in confinement. It is a pathetic story of wrongs never righted. The whole world sympathized with Christ, Dreyfus, but he lived to be restored to his family and friends. Poor old Es-kim-in-zin never received justice, and was returned to his home and family, only in a dying condition, within a month of his decease. One of the stanch friends of Es-kim-in-zin was John P. Clum, post office inspector. Formerly Mr. Clum was Indian agent at the San Carlos agency, in Arizona. His record there was superb, and he was regarded as the best Indian agent in the service. His word alone ought to have been sufficient to secure the release of the persecuted Apache, but it was not. Gen.F.O. O. Howard was also one of the firm friends of Es-kim-in-zin, but even his efforts to procure his release were unavailing. In the war department the statement of Ea-kim-in-zin is on file, under date March, 1892. He says: "Seventeen years ago I took up a ranch on the San Pedro, cleared the brush, and took out water in a ditch which I made. I plowed the land and made a fence around it like the Mexicans. When I started I had three horses and 25 head of cattle. I was on the San Pedro ten years. Then I had 17 horses, 38 cattle, a large yellow wagon, for which I paid $40, and another wagon, which cost me $90, but which I had given to some relatives. I also had many tools. For about three years I drew rations from the agent. After that I did not draw any more till I was sent to the agency by Leit. Watson. I bought all my family clothing and supplies with the money I made. In 1888 Lieut. Watson came to my ranch and gave me a paper from Capt. Pearce, the agent, and told me that I had better go to the San Carlos reservation, as citizens would kill me if I did not that there were about 150 citizens coming with pistols. "They came the next day after I left my ranch, and they shot at my women, putting bullets through their skirts, and drove them off. They took 515 sacks of corn, wheat and barley, destroyed 523 pumpkins and took away 32 head of cattle. After that I went to Washington, and when I returned they asked me if I did not want to go back to my ranch on the San Pedro. I said no, I would not be safe there, and would feel like a man sitting on a chair with some one scratching the sand out from under the legs. Then Capt. Pearce said that I could select a farm on the reservation, so I went with Lieut. Watson and selected a piece of land on the Gila just above the subagency. Lieut. Watson surveyed it for me. I made a ditch for irrigating, and had water flowing in it, and had nearly finished fencing the farm when I was arrested. Since I have been away my wife and some of my children have looked after the farm for me." Es-kim-in-zin, in concluding his final plea, says: "Since I put down a stone with Gen. Howard many years ago, and promised that I would never do anything wrong, I have not broken my promise. I ask to be sent back to my family at San Carlos and given the land surveyed by Lieut. Watson; that it be given me forever, and I will never ask for rations or anything else for myself or my family, from the government. I want to work like a white man and support my family. I can do it, and I will always be a good man." It was claimed by those who interested themselves in Es-kim-in-zin that THE WRONGED APACHE CHIEF. the order expelling him from Arizona was, at best, a military precaution, and certainly could never have been regarded as a military necessity. Capt. Wotherspoon, commandant at Mount Vernon barracks, was also a sympathizer with the imprisoned chief. Vincent Colyer stated to the authorities that Es-kim-in-zin was the first Indian chief who came into the military post at old Camp Grant, Ariz., in the spring of 1871, and asked to be allowed to live in peace. It is asserted that while there under the protection of the American flag, and assured by the army officers that he and his people could sleep in their camp in as perfect security as the soldiers could in theirs, they were, in the early dawn, set upon by a band of assassins, under the leadership of Americans, and 128 of his tribe, his family, relatives and friends, old men, women and children, were brutally murdered and their bodies mutilated murdered and their bodies mutilated. Es-kim-in-zin saved only one member of his family from the slaughter, and this was a little girl, two and a half years old, whom he caught in his arms as he fled. Es-kim-in-zin, the day after the massacre, returned to Camp Grant, where the commanding officer assured him that no soldier had any part in or sympathy with this brutal butchery. With this assurance he returned with the survivors of his band, and once more placed himself under the protection of the troops. Within six weeks his camp was charged by a troop of white soldiers, his people assaulted and driven into the mountains. It was stated in extenuation by the authorities that THE FLIGHT AT MIDNIGHT "this was a very unfortunate blunder." It appeared to Es-kim-in-zin like trickery and he became enraged. He was stirred to revenge, and later, either he, or one of his friends, killed a white man. His friends maintain that it was wonderful that he stopped at the death of only one of a race with which he had formerly maintained relations of perpetual war, and who, since a truce was declared, had exercised, as he believed, and had reason to believe, so much treachery and cruelty toward him and his people. The enemies of Es-kim-in-zin emphasized his alleged crime by saying that the man who was killed had befriended him. His friends said that these people lost sight of the fact that all this treachery, cruelty and murder toward the Apaches was enacted after the most solemn assurances of friendship and protection had been made to the Indians by the commissioned officers of the American government. One of the papers filed in behalf of Es-kim-in-in contains the following paragraph: "Is it not strange that we can pass lightly over the 128 treacherous and cowardly murders instigated by white men, while we carefully treasure the memory of a single killing by an Indian, and after the lapse of 23 years point to him and say: 'This man murdered his friend, without even giving him the benefit of the circumstances which instigated the crime.'" Within the two years which followed the massacre of old Camp Grant, Special Commissioner Colyer and Gen. O. O. Howard visited Arizona. PostOffice Inspector Clum says that these officers did not find Es-kim-in-zin "treacherous, cruel and bad," but that, on the contrary, they had great confidence in him, and that Gen. Howard believed in the old chief. Mr. Clum states that when he went to Arizona in 1874 as the Indian agent at San Carlos he found Es-kim-in-zin a prisoner of war at new Camp Grant in irons, engaged in maling adobes for the soldiers, and that then, as now, there were no specific charges against him. Mr. Clum said that the officers at the post told him the Indian was confined because "a certain major of the United States army did not like him," and regarded him as a bad Indian. Think of that! A human being confined in irons, like a convict, and compelled to make adobes for officers who held him in durance, because, forsooth, one white man wearing shoulder straps so autocratically ordered, simply because he suspected the old chief of being a bad man. The officer who committed that outrage was not in danger of being "suspected" of being a bad man; for he was a bad man, and a disgrace to the uniform which he wore. He was as infamous as those villains who not only suspected, but by perjured testimony convicted Capt. Dreyfus and condemned him to living death in torture and torment. In 1874, in compliance with an official request from Indian Agent Clum, Es-kim-in-zin was released, and up to the time of the departure of Agent Clum from that agency the old Indian was faithful, and never found wanting in action or advice. When the agent's life was sometimes in danger, he relied upon Es-kim-in-zin, and the old chief always did his duty well. It was in 1877, after Agent Clum went elsewhere, that the undeserved outrages were heaped upon the old Indian, who had done nothing wrong, but had done everything to deserve a better fate. Es-kim-in-zin was confined for many years at Mount Vernon barracks, Alabama, and ultimately was sent to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, where he remained until 1895 without seeing even a glimmer of justice to cheer his pathway to the happy hunting grounds.

"I saved a train once," said an ex-confederate officer, in the Detroit Free Press, "at least I have always thought I did, but I lost a girl and she lost a $500 saddle mare. I was a pretty good-looking man in those days and had a great liking for the ladies, with an especial fondness for one in particular, though I had not mentioned the fact to her in so many words. "One day I was at her house in Virginia and we concluded to go for a ride. She was mounted on her mare, which was really a beauty and worth all of $500, but not for sale at any price. As we moved off down the road, she a little in advance, I made up my mind that before the ride was finished she would know exactly what I thought of her. We had been out for an hour and I had got fairly well started in my love-making, when we came to a railroad crossing. It was never a very good one, and some repairs had lately been made upon it in the shape of heavy timbers laid in to raise the roadway to the level of the rails. As we rode slowly over it the "THE TRAIN WAS THEN IN SIGHT." mare in some way got her hind foot between the timbers and stuck fast. The girl was off in a minute and I was at the horse's foot, trying to help her get it out, but it was stuck to stay, and there was no help but to go somewhere and get an ax or a crowbar to release her. "Just as I was about to start we heard the rumble of a train, and we knew it was a passenger going at 40 miles an hour. I made frantic endeavors to twist the foot loose, and the poor animal did what she could to assist, but with all we could do, and the girl nearly in hysteries, the foot refused to come out. The train was then in sight and two close to be stopped. Knowing the mare was doomed, and the whole train was liable to be thrown from the track if it struck her where she was. I slew her around with her body off the track, and snatching a revolver from my holsters, I shot her through the head. The mare dropped to the ground, I caught the girl, who had fainted, and fell over the bank with her, the train dashed by, cutting the mare's legs off, and the whole thing was over. I put the girl's saddle on behind my own and we two rode my horse home. But there was no more love-making, and never after that was she the same to me. I fancy she could not get it out of her mind that I had killed her favorite, but what else could I have done? It was easier for the horse to die that way; and, besides, I saved the train. In any event, the railroad people thought I did, for when the facts were known the company paid $500 to the girl's father and I've been riding over that road on a pass ever since, 'for valuable services rendered.'" HARRISON'S BIG D. An Astonishing Exclamation Once-Uttered by the Late Six-President. Harrison was so devout a church member that many persons have refused to believe that he had ever been profane. Only one instance is recalled and that is substantiated, like a corresponding incident in George Washington's career, by the testimony of ear-witnesses, says the Boston Transcript. It was in the Atlanta campaign in 1864, when, as colonel of the Seventieth Indiana volunteers, he took a conspicuous part in the battle of Peach Treereek. The regiment was lying under cover, with stricter orders to hold its fire until the command was given. One man, too excited and nervous to lie still, sprang up and fired. Col. Harrison seized his blanket, which was done up in a roll and fastened with a strap, and jumping up, hurled it at the exitable soldier, at the same time shouting out a loud, hearty, rotund "D—n." The blanket struck the soldier full in the face, and either that or the unexpectedness of the profane word from his exemplary colonel laid him flat on his back, ready to obey orders for the rest of the campaign. Profanity seemed to be in the air that day, for Gen. Hooker riding down the line after the fight, seized the young colonel's hand and wring it as he shouted: "Harrison, by G—I'll make you a brigadier general for this!" And he was as good as his word. Features of a National Park The Vicksburg national park will soon be complete as far as the acquisition of land is concerned. It will comprise in all 1,231 acres. It is proposed to restore all military features that marked it in the struggle of 1863.—Chicago Chronicle. Love. Love may not be blind, but it's awfully near sighted.—Chicago Daily News. Too Small for Him "In the earlier days in the northwest," said M. H. Spencer, of Spokane Wash., "I was mining in Idaho. At that time we used to have dances there quite frequently in the various camps. The male members of one camp would go into their jeans and make up a pot to defray the expenses, and when all arrangements had been made invitations would be sent out to the other camps for the members thereof THE RICHMOND PLANET RICHMOND VIRGINTA to attend. The principal cost of these parties was for liquor, and the amount supplied varied in direct ratio with the amount contributed by the hosts. There would be five, ten, twenty, or even more gallons, as the case might be, of whisky, 'Cockeye' Leary named these dances for all time when, in answer to a query as to whether or not he would attend a certain shindig soon to be given in a neighboring gulch, he made reply: 'Naw, you can bet I ain't going. It's only a five-gallon dance.' —N. Y. Tribune. THE RELIGIOUS WORD The property of the Catholics in Shanghai is valued 000,000. The Salvation Army in Madraisons among its soldiers several Hindoos. The voluntary offerings to Church of England during last amounted to £7,771,000. The increase of the church bership compared with that Marriage by Assessment Marriage is admittedly always a hazard, but in Servia it has been made the basis of a novel variation on the usual modes of speculation. There societies for providing bonuses on marriage were formed, and flourished to such an extent as to greatly accelerate the marriage rate. The funds were obtained on the assessment system, and, as many members who got a bonus and a bride abruptly stopped their contributions, the aspiring celibate subscribers who were left found their obligations increasing more rapidly than is the experience of most married men. Consequently liquidation has set in among these companies with great severity, and the boom in matrimony is likely to be followed by a slump.—London Financial News. "Gas Eyes" the New Disease of Fish "Gas eyes" is the newest thing in diseases of fish. It invariably attacks deep-sea fish which have been put in an aquarium. For some years it has been noticed by keepers of aquaria that deep-sea fish become covered with air blisters. Usually it appears first on the fins, gradually spreading over the body, at last attacking the eyes. A small blister filled with gas would appear on the eyeball and swell to such an extent that it would force the eye from the socket. Experts who have investigated this strange phenomenon have decided that it is caused by the removal of water pressure.-N. Y. World. Madagascar Hedgehogs At the Regent's Park menagerie in London several living specimens of "tenrece," the hedgehog of Madagascar, were recently received. It is said that stuffed specimens in museums give no adequate idea of the form of these strange animals. Their resemblance to hedgehogs rests only upon their possession of a spiny covering. The shape of their bodies resembles that of an inflated globefish. They are insectivorous, and are said to be restricted to the island of Madagascar. The specimens in London, at any rate, are remarkable for their habit of yawning-Youth's Companion. Facts About the Cen An industrious calculator has been searching out some interesting facts concerning the new century. He points out that the twentieth century will contain 36,525 days, which lacks but one day of being exactly 5,218 hours. The middle day of the century will be January 1, 1951. Fifteen out of the hundred years will begin on Wednesday and the same number on Friday. Fourteen will begin on each of the other days of the week.-Chicago Inter Ocean. The Ordeal of Albert. It was at Windsor castle that Queen Victoria, then only a girl of 20, did what she described as "the most nervous, thing a woman was ever called on to do," when she summoned the young Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to a private interview and "proposed" to him. She had first met him when, as a boy of 17, he came with his father to England, and when, three years later, he "made no secret" of his love for his fair cousin, "no one was surprised and everyone was de-ighted."—Tit-Bits.

The Salvation Army in Madras numbers among its soldiers several young Hindoos. The voluntary offerings to the Church of England during last year amounted to £7,771,000. The increase of the church membership compared with that of the general population, the Advance declares to be as 27 to 9. The Order of St. Francis has supplied ten popes, that of St. Dominic four. The Order of St. Benedict holds the record, with 43 popes and 40,000 bishops. According to the Catholic World for April, there are 6,559,998 souls enrolled in the parish registers in the Philippines as loyal to the Roman Catholic church. By a unanimous vote the presbytery of Chicago has pledged itself to raise $100,000 during the next five years to be used in the erection of new churches in Chicago and its suburbs. Rev. J. H. Roche, pastor of St. James' Roman Catholic church in Kenosha, Wis., has served the church for nine years without compensation. A modest competency, earned in other parishes, enables him to do this, as also to aid in lifting the church debt. THE WORLD'S WORK Our year's coal represents the work of 500,000,000 of people for 12 months. A million pounds of silk every week in the year is the world's total production. The greatest number of men ever employed on one structure was the Glizep pyramid, where 7,000 men were in forced labor. Many Japanese workmen are going into the mines of Colorado. Experiments with them show them to be excellent employees. The villages near Fribourg, Switzerland, are in great distress, the old industry of plaiting straw, which used to bring the inhabitants a little money, having disappeared. Other countries furnish the marketa. With the exception of a few small concerns in Warsaw, there is only one large shoe factory in Russia. This concern does an enormous business, and is one of the most prosperous stock companies in the empire. The labor unions of Missouri have succeeded in having a law passed in that state making wages equal for men and women performing like labor. For violation of this law a fine of ten dollars to $100 may be imposed. TOLD IN FIGURES. The average depth of peat is 12 feet, yielding 12,000 tons to the acre. It takes six tons of pine wood to make a ton of charcoal, but only four of oak. Great Britain produces 1,900,000 tons of salt a year, all Europe less than 5,000,000. An ocean steamer carries on an average 21 times her own tonnage in the course of a year. The total output of beet and cane sugars in the countries of Europe for 1000 was-2,657,000 tons. London's eight gas companies possess 3,790 miles of mains, 90,450 public lights and 556,081 customers. Three hundred and twenty-five miles in the day is the record for a sailing ship, 560 for a steamer. About 2,000,000 porcupine quilts are imported yearly into England from India, with a few from Spain, the quilts upon each "spike pig" being worth $2.50. The quilts are used for penholders, floats for anglers, fans, ornamental screens and many other fancy articles. FOOD NOTES. A crop of wheat uses 60 tons of water an acre a month. Illinois fruit growers lost in 1898 $3,500,000 by ravages of the apple scab fungus alone. People in London eat on an average seven pounds of carrots a year, Parisians 37 pounds. Six pounds of fish are equal as food to 3½ pounds of lean beef, or two pounds of boiled eggs. The United States lead all other nations in the matter of fruit growing. Strawberries were valued at $80,000,000 last year and grapes at $100,000,000. Stale candy can generally be worked over by reboiling it. In the case of acid candles, such as lemon drops, the candy is boiled, the acid is withdrawn by the use of lime or chalk, and the sirup may then be used in the manufacture of that or any other species of candy. IN ASIATIC COUNTRIES. There are 2,364 banks in Japan, representing $233,249,936. A British lady in a princely family of Japan as a resident governess is an innovation in that country. Before 1880 little was known in China of kerosens. In 1890 more than a hundred million gallons were imported. The Afghans, never leave their homes without having an arsenal of weapons in their belts. Arms are their adornments. THE LEADING MINERAL Coal stands for 85 per cent. of all minerals dug. British iron works use 36,000,000 tons of coal a year. Four million pounds' worth of coal is used in paper-making in a single year. Taking No Chances. "Yes; he has proposed by letter," she explained. "Now, do you think I ought to mail my answer immediately or keep him in suspense for awhile?" "Mail it!" exclaimed her dearest friend in a tone that had a trace of spitefulness in it. "If I were you I'd telegraph it, and there was an emphasis put on "if I were you" that came near breaking a friendship that had extended over several years.—Chicago Post. PERSONAL PARTICULARS. Mrs. Besant now wears Hindu dress and has proclaimed the belief that she was a Hindu in a former stage of her existence. Sydney Grundy, who is 53 years old, has a record of a play for every year he has lived. Like W. S. Gilbert, he is a barrister by profession. George Willard, who died at Battle Creek, Mich., recently, had been a student, teacher, Episcopal minister, member of a college faculty, newspaper editor and congressman. Cecil Rhodes has offered to the Diocesan college at Cape Town a yearly sum of $1,200 for a prize for the boy who stands best during the term in studies, athletics and moral qualities. Rev. J. G.

The crown prince of Germany is going to England to learn English ways and customs. It is thought by the emperor that he will gain valuable knowledge about commercial and manufacturing affairs. William Abraham, member of parliament from Pentre, Pontyfridd, Wales, began his career as a working miners. Later he was a miners' agent and president of the South Wales Miners' federation. Baron Von Eglofstein, the German marshal, who was practically dismissed recently, has hitherto been considered one of the kaiser's closest friends and was his companion on several shooting expeditions. John S. Sargent, the world's foremost portrait painter, has broken down from overwork and has been ordered abroad for a complete rest. His great fame was his own undoing, for his attempt to keep pace with his numerous important commissions has undermined his health, which an attack of grip had already seriously impaired. DRIFT WOOD. Canada's first railway, opened in 1840, was 16 miles long. She now has over 16,000 miles. There are about 500 female physicians in France, and many of them enjoy lucrative practice. The Pennsylvania railroad is reported to have over 28,000 individual shareholders who must be notified of the new stock allotment and receive subscription warrants. Miss Jennie C. Benedict is the first woman to be elected a member of the Louisville board of trade, the directors having voted favorably upon her application the other day. The revival of interest in lawn tennis which was noticeable last summer after half a dozen seasons of partial neglect bids fair to take on new life this coming summer. While tests of a new electric train were being made on the elevated road in New York city the insulation became defective and the steel rails were dissolved as though made of tissue paper. There were primitive railroads in the eighteenth century, but it was after 1802 when Richard Trevithick took out in England the first patent for a high pressure engine adapted for motion on roads, and in 1829 the "Rocket," which was built by Robert Stephenson, drew 44 tons at the rate of over 20 miles an hour. A half-tone picture of President Harper, of Chicago university, was transmitted by telegraph recently from the Quadrangle club in Chicago to Haveney hall, Columbia university. At the same time an attempt was made to transmit a photograph of President Low. The latter experiment, however, was not a success. The features of President Harper were distinctly reproduced there. HASH AND REHASH Greece was the last of the European powers to adopt the railway. As late as 1860 there were but seven miles in the country. The United States is now ahead of Germany in naval strength by about 3,000 tons, and thus is entitled to fourth place among naval powers. No fewer than 2,256 pupils presented themselves for examination in Irish national board schools last year, and 74 teachers' certificates were issued. A tandem of black trotting cows, driven by a Brazilian heiress, has been staggering the people of Paris. She has now sold them to a circus for $50,000. The time for seasoning wood varies very greatly, extending from weeks in the case of some timbers to many months or years in the case of hard, dense wood. The earliest specimens of Indian corn grew, it is believed by botanists, on the plateau of Peru, where this plant has been found growing in a condition which indicates that it is indigenous to the soil. Ministers succeed each other in Italy with remarkable rapidity. During the last ten years—1891 to 1901—there have been 13 administrations—Crispi, then Rudini, then Giolotti, Crispi again, and Rudini, who reconstructed his cabinet and changed its programme four times; Pelloux, the head of two distinct successive administrations; Saracco, and now Zanardelli, whose tenure of office is expected to be very short.

GREATEST ROBBER ON EARTH, The Liquor Tratic Arraigned and Found to Be Greatest Foe to Mankind. ‘The greatest robber on earth is that which deprives us of the most precious possession that a man or woman can have. And what is that? Is {ta well- filled pocketbook, or a good bank ac- count? No, for some of the poorest, most miserable souls on earth have fat pocketbooks and healthy bank ac- counts. Is it a luxurious home with ‘all the modern adornments? No, for a gilded cage cannot make a happy bird, and in the most sumptuous home may dwell the most wretched of slaves —the slaves of vice and passion. Is it fame, reputation, power, glory? No, for the next wind of popular tavor may dash these baubles to the ground and leate us reciting the lament which Shakespeare puts into the mouth of Cardinal Wolsey. ‘The most precious possession which any man can have is his own true, in- dependent, selfrespecting manhood, and the greatest robber on earth is that which robs a man of that. ‘The most precious possession which any woman can have is her own true, tender, virtuous womanhood, and the greatest specific evil on earth is that which deprives women of that. Monopolies are an evil which Amer- ican people must grapple with; but even if all that the most eloquent “calamity howler” in the world has said be true, what fsit that the monop- olies rob us of?

There is, however, a robber that takes not only men's homes, their farms, their bank accounts, their rep- vtation and thelr friends, but their manhood as well; which robs women not only of all the beauties and com- forts of life, but of their womanhood as well. and which robs innocent lit- tle children of their childhood before they are ont of their swaddling clothes.

As these cooks draw salaries ranging from $2,000 to $3,000 the engagement of one of them is a more or less im- Portant matter. No fees are paid by the servants or by the master, but no- body doubts that the proprietor makes his profit out of the arrangement.

Ruler of Persian Realm to Revel in Delights of Ragtime. Rare Trent in Store for Exalted Despot Who Has Never Known Charms of the "Coon Song"—Gets a Big Graphophone If there is not a revolution in Persia in a short time it will not be the fault of American composers of "coon" songs. Ragtime music is to be sprung for the first time on the unsuspecting shah and all his court. Unless he uses the most strenuous efforts it will not stop there. When the tintinnabulations of the syncopated melodies once get into the brains and the feet of the shah's suite, they will gradually percolate from the royal palaces out through the gardens and grounds and so to the subjects. As is well known, ragtime is like the scarlet fever. It spreads rapidly; nothing will stop its ravages, and it often leaves traces of its visit in its trail. It is not a minstrel company which is going to do the trick. No ragtime piano player is to be introduced into the shah's palace to tickle that eccentric monarch with "Coon, Coon, Coon," or any other of the "very late" ragtime effusions. It will all be done by a graphophone, and if trouble results the shah can get back at his American minister at Washington for starting things. The ruler of Persia is a great admirer of classical music. He would rather listen to Italian opera than not, and in his late tours of Europe he was a constant patron of the opera. While he was willing to spend money to gratify this taste, he did not want to maintain a first-class orchestra at court merely to play opera for him and therefore he decided to purchase a graphophone which would grind out his favorite airs whenever he pressed the button and which would not carry with it a pay roll as long as the royal arm. Realizing that the best graphophones are made in this country and COGN COGN SHAH OVERCOME BY RAGTIME. wanting to get the best machine that ever was built, the shah gave his minister at Washington carte blanche to fix things up with dealers in this country. The result was a graphophone which is the largest and most costly ever manufactured. It cost the shah $5,000 and the 150 records which accompany it cost $1,500 more. The machine is known technically as a multiplex grand and is as high and as wide as a railroad car. The maghany case is of course artistically carved and decorated and the machine is furnished with three horns, the records for which are two and a half times as large as those used on the ordinary instruments. The volume of sound is equal to that of a church organ when the machine is going at full blast. All this would not have been so bad it had not suddenly occurred to the shah's minister when he was selecting the records that his ruler had never heard any ragtime music. It may have been suggested by the graphophone people while the minister was picking out arias from "Faust" and "Martha" that possibly the shah would leap with joy if he could get a little bunch of syncepted music mixed in with the stuff that Gounod and Weber and those old fellows wrote. The minister, who is a friend on ragtime, was tickled with the idea, and accordingly a score of records were made, with "coon" songs on their delicate wax surfaces. He is not going to warn the shah that some of the records must be handled with care. The ragtime selections are mixed with the classical pieces, without any hint of their dangerous proclivities, and that is where the trouble will begin. Just while the shah is leaning back reveling in a bit of "Trovator" the slave who is operating the big machine may inadvertently slip on one of the syncepted records and push the button, and the next instant the shah will be startled with a rattle of melody telling him "You Told Me I Need Never Work No More" or reciting the dangers of "Goo Goo Eyes." After that it will be all off with Weber and Mascagni if the shah is made of human clay, and there is a well-grounded suspicion that he is. Barloz will have to take a seat in the rear of the orchestra, while Ben Harney, Leo Friedman and the rest of them will crowd up in front and receive the honors. If it stops there it will not be so bad. But when the news spreads through the city that the shah is enamored of a new kind of music, totally unlike that heard at the Persian theater at the world's fair, there will be a rush of the loyal subjects to get in line, and the syncopation of Berda will be complete.

Instead of that I found a telegram from my wife to this effect: “Can't wire money on Sunday. Will Pry other means.’ * ‘She can't wire money on Sinday, Bey?

She said my wife desired me to go to an Atlantic City physician, whose name she gave me, and whose office, she said, was at such-and-such a number on Atlantic avenue, at two o'clock, where I'd get money. I'd never heard of that par. ticular medical man in my life, and it looked pretty queer. I asked the tele phone girl in the Philadelphia office why my wife couldn't talk direct to me, and the girl replied that there was some temporary difficulty with the wires, but that she had repeated my wife's message word for word. + “I couldn't see through it, of course but at a few minutes before two | left the hotel and started for the of fice of that medical man on Atlantic avenue, whose name I had _ neve heard.

Distinguished oe sleet A Slight Accident to the Ragine Ten- der Delays the Arrival at Phoenix ‘Twe Houre—Arizona’s Pantomimic Plea Fer Statehood. Phoenix, Ariz, May 8.—The pres!- ential party spent an interesting day yesterday in Arizona, The beautiful turquoise sky, bright sunshine and in- ‘vigorating air afforded the party much relief ofter the ho} and dusty ride of Monday. The two hours in the morn- ing at the Congress gold mine, up in the clouds of the Blue Tank mountains, Hire replete with incidents and were thoroughly enjoyed. A large Ameri- can flag was draped across the tunnel through which the president passed, and after he emerged he told the little group of miners who congregated about the train that he had seen old glory floating from tower and state house and warship in many different places, Dut that never before during his life had he seen the Ameriean fing 1,500 feet under ground. Leaving the rich mining section tn the mountains, 4,000 feet above sea level, the train dropped down into the green Salt River valley, with its wav- ing alfalfa meadows and big herds of cattle. This valley is called the gar- den spot of Arizona, and was reclaim- ed by irrigation. On Monday, passing through New Mexico and yesterday in Arizona, the cow punchers at the stop- ping places along the route inquired yooiferously where Te’ ‘y” was. Many of the vice president's Rough Riders during the Spanish war were recruited in this section, and there was much disappointment that he was not in the party. On the way to Phoenix the tire of one of the wheels of the engine tender became loose, and for the first time since the long journey began the telegrapher with the train was com- pelled to climb a telegraph pole to tap the wire, At Wickenburg, the scene of the re- cont gold mine strike, the train was halted long enough to permit the prest- | dent to receive a visit from the schoo! children. ‘The children presented Mrs. || McKinley with a cabinet of specimens. || ‘The president thanked the ebiidren in || Mrs. McKinley's behalf and addressed || them briefly. | About 20 miles outside of Phoenis || the party saw from the car windows [the government agricultural experi J mental station, to. which Secretary Wilson a year ago sent 40 date palms | which had been brought out of th |] Tripolt desert on the backs of camels .| The palms are doing well and much i ,] expected of them in the future in th .| south west. . || ‘The accident to the locomotive ten der delayed the arrival at Phoenix tw hours and somewhat disarranged thi | program here.
