THE RICHMOND PLANET PYTHIANS AT PORTSMOUTH. A FINE PARADE.—HARMONIOUS SESSION.—A GRAND BANOUET TENDERED THEM. XVIII NO 24 PYTHIAN PORTS The Session of t Much We A FINE PARADE.—HA GRAND BANQUET The representatives of the Knights of Pythias and Courts of Galanthe of Virginia left Richmond on the 8:40 p. m. train Monday, May 20th over the C. & O. R. R. The trip down was very pleasant as the delegation had special accommodations. At Newport News, they were joined by others from Suffolk, Newport News and boarded the steamer for Portsmouth. The air was cool and bracing and was enjoyed by all. COMMITTEE MET THEM. Arriving at their destination, they were met by Dr. Troy, Sir Knight William M. Reid, Ecq., Grand Master of Exchequer of the Grand Lodge of Virginia and assigned to their several temporary homes. The whole delegation fared well in this respect, as the committee had endeavored to select the most pleasant and comfortable homes for their distinguished guests. The Grand Court of Virginia assembled in the True Reformers Hall, High street, Tuesday, May 21st, at 4 p.m. THOSE FOILED THE STATIONS. Grand Worthy Counsellor John Mitchell, Jr., in the chair. The Court was opened in due form, after which the Grand Worthy Register of Deeds called the roll of officers and the following responded to their names and filled their stations: G. W C. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. G. W. Inspectrix, Mrs. Kate Thomas; G. W. Inspector, Mrs. Nannie Skipwith; G. W. O. W., Mrs. Annie Claiborne; G. W. R. of Deeds, Miss M. L. Chiles; G. W. R. of Deposits, Mrs. Josie A. Graham; Mrs. Easorc, Mrs. R. Easorc; G. W. S. W., Mrs. Ante Taylor; G. W. J. D., Mrs. Nannie C. Johnson; G. W. Con, Mrs. Mary N. Gay; G. W. Asst'c Con., Miss Blanche Evans; G. W. Herald, Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson; G. W. Froctor, Mr. L. W. Holbrook; G. W. Lecturer, Mrs. S. L. Mitchell. The Grand Worthy Counsellor then requested the delegates to file their credentials with the Grand Worthy Register of Deeds after which the trustee, Mr. L. Byrd,RIst Thompson, Mrs. L. D. Byrd, Mrs. Mary N. Gay, retired to examine the same and reported 31 persons entitled to receive the Grand Court Degree. FINE DELEGATION. The Grand Worthy Counsellor then asked that chairs be arranged in the in the center of the spacious hall for the court representatives, and stated after they were seated that there lay the power of the Grand Body that Grand Officers and delegates were the only ones with voice and vote. It was indeed as fine an assemblage as ever grazed any hall on a similar occasion. It is almost needless to say it is the largest ever met in the Grand Court session, as there were 28 new delegates. This but demonstrates the marvelous increase in membership in the short space of ten months. TEN NEW COURTS. Ten new courts have been made within 10 months and $91 members added to the Order in this Department besides a court of 87 set aside in Norfolk Wednesday night. May 22nd, at the close of the session to do honor to Mrs. Mary N. Gav, Deputy Grand Worthy Counselor of Norfolk through whose efforts a few months previous Mary's Court had been organized. The court then had recess until 6:30 p. m. to show the court members a chance to see the parade, the finest ever seen in that locality either white or colored. A GLIMPS OF THE PARADE. The Grand Worthy Counsellor, Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., as Brigadier General and his brilliantly attired staff, mounted on the finest steed that the "city by the sea" could afford led the procession, followed by the fine uniformed companies from Rishmond, Hampton, Nerfolk and Portsmouth and presented a scene magnificent to behold and inspiring to the race. The Uniformed rank formed a line on each side of the street and the General and Staff came up from the rear followed by respective companies, each in command of his captain, and the military tactics displayed would have done honor to a United States regiment of soldiers, so dignified and easy was the bearing of each officer and member of each company. TWO FINE BANDS. 2 fine brass bands furpished the music for the occasion and we noticed the blue coat "guardians of peace" keeping step to the music and marching with the parade to see that none disturbed the Knights. The following constituted the order of formation: Brigadier General, John Mitehall, Jr. Assistant Adjutant General Colonel John B. Chiles, Chief of Staff Co., Jesse Serugge; Bigade Signal Officer, Col. E F. Ribinson, Brigade Mustering Officer, Col. D. W.

The houses of most of the Knights were decorated with K, of P. colors and ladies waved flags and handkerchiefs we are pleased by. Some of the leading officers of the Grand Lodge were in carriages. The Grand Court reassembled at 6: 80 and resumed its work. Encouraging reports were received from all the delegates from the various courses and the Grand Worthy Register of Deeds read the letters of those unable to send a delegate. The letters sent best wishes and prayers from the other courts and were highly appreciated by the body. THE GRAND WORTHY COUNSELLER'S BE The Grand Worth Counsellor then read his report. It was very comprehensive and was listened to with breathless attention as it was a complete review of the work of the Grand Court for the past 10 months. His report stated his gratification at the remarkable increase in the membership and peace and harmony that had prevailed throughout his jurisdiction. The death rate he said had been heavier than the previous year. $1900 had been paid out within that time, yet we are progressing wonderfully. 1629 policies and 88 charters had been issued by him he since had taken charge of the Order, in short space of 42. His report highly complimented the Grand Worthy Register of Deeds for her work in every department of the Order and also Sister Anna Taylor for having gotten up three more courts, making 10 to her credit in all and recommended her for higher honors which she afterwards received. OTHER REPORTS. The Grand Worthy Register of Deeds, Miss M. L. Chiles then read her report, which was acknowledged by all to be one of the finest that had ever heard. It was also a review of the Grand Court work and also explained every department and the manage- Continued on Eighth Page. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1901.

The year's work has been very satisfactory under the leadership of that scholarly instructor, Rev. Dr. Tefft, assisted by a most efficient faculty, the results have been such as to win the approval not only of the students, but the parents as well. Hartnorth has steadily grown in popular favor until in every hamlet and village in the state parents are endeavoring to raise the necessary fee in ordn to secure for their daughter's the benefit of this Christian training, surrounded by the care by all of the safeguards which a school distinctively for females affords. With this issue, we present our readers with the pictures of the graduate: class and with a good likeness of that remarkable, but able educator, Rev. Dr. Lyman B. Tefft. His labors have been crowned with success, and his organization of a collegiate department for women, which affords them all of the advantages of the most modern universities has been one of the surprises of the last few years of his mastery leadership. Mr. Jessie Randall of 205 East Franklin St. left Monday for Pittsburgh Pa. where he will remain during the summer and fall months.

HIS FRIENDS ACTIVE.—MONDAY NIGHT TO DECIDE THE QUESTION. The First Baptist Church of this city baster known perhaps as the First African Baptist Church is often designated as the 'Mother of all of the church es. It is one of the most famous churches in this country, and there is scarcely a locality, North or South, East or West where colored people from Richmond may that some of its members may not be located. Monday night, June 8rd, 1801, every member is expected to be present to vote for his choice. The committee has nominated three divines of irreproachable character and great ability. They are Rev. Walter H. Brooks, D. D., pastor of the 19th Street Baptist Church of Washington D. C., Rev. A. W. Pegues of Shaw University at Raleigh, N. C., and Rev. W. T. Johnson, B. D., pastor of the First Baptist Church at Lexington, Va. Church, with her great history, reputation for good works and powerful membership, stands out as one of the foremost colored churches in the United States. And therefore, we feel that such a church ought to have a pastor of weigh, power and experience. Such a man, we see in the person of Rev. Walter H. Brooks, D. D., the pride of the American Negro Baptist pulpit. A man who stands head over others far above the average, with only a few who can successfully compete with him as a great pastor. The First Baptist Church wants him. We baptized him we ordained him, and sent him out to the world and wherever he has gone, his glory has been the glory of the old mother church. I say again, we want Dr. Brooks. BEAASONS GIVEN First, because he is a man of great REVS. PEGUES AND JOHNSON PREACHED. Rev. Pegues preached a scholarly eermon Sunday, May 5th, and Rev. Johnson delivered an able and foretie sermon last Sunday, 12th inst. No arrangements had been made to invite Rev. Brooks to preach and his friends were dissatisfied. They accordingly wrote to the distinguished divine relative to his appearance here morrow, 3rd inst. The letters in reply conveyed rich reading and are about the able and most convincing communications var. in to any church. They will be read to morrow at the First Baptist Church. The distinguished theologian takes high go and' THOSE LETTERS SENT TO BRETHREN. In the one addressed to Deacon J. C. Farley, he declares that he can not consent to be present the day before the eermon to pastor, as it would be turned an affront and his success as a candidate for the pulpit. He calls attention to the fact that he was sought out and called to the pastorate of the Second Baptist church and also in the same way at the 19th St. Baptist church. He advises the nomination of the men, and then the taking of the same to God in prayer, after which let the ballots be cast and let the one receiving the highest number be declared the unanimous choice of the church. BENEATH THE DIGNITY. In his letter to Deacon John S. Powell and brother H. F. Jonation and Deacon Harrison Smith he declares that to appear in Richmond at this time would be beneath the dignity of a true man of God. He advises them to hear from Gcd, and govern themselves accordingly. In his letter to Deacon Gso. W. Lewis, he expresses the same sentiments and declares that the pulpit should seek the man and not the man, the pulpit, and emphatically declares that he will not do one thing to influence the members of the First Baptists Church to call him. These letters have created a most favorable impression and the sentiment in favor of the great pulpit orator is on a steady increase. ORIGINAL RICHMONDER. It now transpires that thet Rev. Dr. Brooks and his family and relatives are original residents of Richmond. He was baptized and became a member of the First Baptist church. He was licensed to preach by that church, and time and again has occupied the sacred desk at that historic edifice. A STEADY INCREASE As a result, Rev. Dr. Brook's admirers are on the increase, and unless all signs fail, upon a full attendance the call will be extended to him by an overwhelming majority. More than two-thirds of the deacons are in favor of this former member of the First Baptist Church. The church will be opened at 7 p.m. next Monday night and only members of that congregation will be admitted. If the recommendation of the Deacon Board are observed, each person will rise and stand until they are counted for their candidate. Why Call Dr. Brooks? Why Call Dr. Brooks? As an humble member of the First Baptist Church, willing at all times to help bear its burdens and being deeply interested in that which bear our church, I drop you these few lines. I move among the people. I hear their discussions and I know what we, who bear the burdens of the church, want in the nature of a pastor. It is well known that the First Baptist PRICE 5 CENTS OOKS' EASONS. In a Test Sermon. All A Pastor. MONDAY NIGHT TO DE-QUESTION. Church, with her great history, reputation for good works and powerful membership, stands out as one of the foremost colored churches in the United States. And therefore, we feel that such a church ought to have a pastor of weigh, power and experience. Such a man, we see in the person of Rev. Walter H Brooks, D. D., the pride of the American Negro Baptist pulpit. A man who stands head and shoulders far above the average, only a few who can successfully with him as a great pastor. The First Baptist Church wants him. We baptized him we ordained him, and sent him out, the world and wherever he has gone, his glory has been the glory of the old mother church. I say again, we want Dr. Brooks. REASONS GIVEN First, because he is a man of great Christian purity; secondly, because he is one of the best pastors known among the Baptist ministry. He pastors his whole flock from the highest to the lowest and makes them all feel at home with him. Thirdly, Dr. Brooks, though educated, brilliant and cultured, yet, has that peculiar quality found in few highly educated preachers, which makes him the people's preacher. The most ignorant man delights to hang on the Word of God as it flows from this powerful preacher of the Master's gospel. That is what our church needs not. Not a preacher of the few, not a preacher of any certain class, but a preacher for all the people. Dr. Brooks is that preacher. Fourthly, we can him because of his great scholarship. He is the only candidate before our people who has really graduated from a University and yet with all of his learning, he is gentle, humble, Christ-like in his bearing. Fifthly, we want him because he is a spiritual man. Who is there in the city of Rienmond that has ever sat under the magnetic influence of Dr. Brooks without feeling the subtle power that seems to lift your soul to the light alms above? Sixth, we want him because of his influence. We need him to you, for everybody knows it, that Brooks, among white and colored people in power and strength is felt throughout this broad land. BIS VOICE MEARD. His voice has been heard in the leading white churches of Washington, D. C., the North and South. Seventhly, but if there is any reason that I have, which might savor of self-harness, it is, we want Dr. Brooks because of his drawing qualities. All Richmond knows that the location of our church demands the calling of a pastor who can hold his own against other strong pastors of the city. Take his example Dr. Z. D. Lewis, holding his crowds at the Second Baptist; Dr. W. S. Graham, with the great throngs crowding at his happily located church; Dr. A. S. Thomas, overflowing his house of worship every Sunday. Say what you please, the old First Baptist church must have a pastor that will either equal these strong preachers or surpass them one. I do not mean to say that Dr Brooks is their superior, but certainly I do mean to say that he is their equal in drawing qualities. FOUR OTHERS KNOWN. I know not but four other men out of Richmond in the whole state that could come to Richmond and hold their own against the three pastors above named. They are Dr. G. B. Howard. Dr. J. M. Armistead. Rev. W. M. Moss. B. D., Dr. R. H. Bolling. There are three young men in our city that can exell any man brought here to preach by our pulpit committee. They are Revs. Bowler, D. Webster Davis and Stokes. If we are not going to call a man of great and long standing experience, why I would rather take one of these true and tried young men that we know. But sir, we want Dr. Walter Brooks in the pulpit of the grand old mother church. He will draw the people from all parts of this city. We want him. We are coming out Monday night not to elect him but to call him by the voice of the church, not the voice of those who have selfish motives at stake. We want him first, second and last to help build up God's old Zion. We, who are willing to work hard to support our church want him, yes sir, and we are coming to call him. We do not have to canvass and button-hole people, we have no list going around to secure names; that is non-Christ-like. There is simply a simultaneous, spontaneous craving in the hearts of the members of the First Baptist church to have Dr. Brooks come and lead us on to victory. Yours for Christ, Brooks and old First Baptist Church, J. G. FARLEY. AN HUMBLE HERO BY THOMAS P. MONTFORT COPYRIGHT, 1901, BY THOMAS P. MONTFORT James Melvin, whose real name was Frank Shelton, did not go away from Possum Ridge, as Louisa had advised him to do, but he had tarried on from day to day in the hope of seeing her again and promising himself that as soon as he had another interview with her he would take his departure. His purpose in seeing her again was to make a strong and final effort to induce her to accompany him to some point in the far west where they would remain unknown and where, as he reasoned, they could lead safe and happy lives. One evening he came in from a long tramp in the woods, where he had gone ostensibly to prospect for mineral, and found Turner sitting in front of the house in a deep study. He watched the old man for a little while, then called out gayly to him: "A penny for your thoughts, Mr. Turner." The old man gave a start and looked up. "I don't know," he replied. "That mought be a good price, and it mought not. I ain't jist ready to sell yit no how." "Going to hold them for a rise in the market, eh?" "Mebby. Guess I'll offer 'em for sale 'bout the time you put your mines on the market. S'pose you found oodlins of mineral today, didn't you?" "No, I didn't find any." "That so? Too bad, ain't it?" "Oh, I don't know. It takes time to locate mineral, you know." "I see it does. It 'pears to take time even when you don't locate it too. Reckon you must be gittin sort of tired of smelll round in the ground that away, ain't you?" "Lord a-massy, I know I'd be. Yes, sir-ee! I'd be jist plumb tired out, an my hopes of findin anything would be petered clean down to a whine. Reckon on that company of rich fellers you're workin for hain't feelin as good as they mought." "Oh, they're all right. They never expected me to strike a fortune in a week or two." "Guess, though, they mought 'a' had a notion that in smellin round yere for a month you out to run your nose up ag'in a little bit of mineral, don't you think?" "They wouldn't regard a month as anything in prospecting for mineral." "Wouldn't they?" "Certainly not, nor six months nor a year." "Waal, I swar! Jest lay back thar an take it easy an let you smell round down yere long as you please?" "Humph! Reckon, then I been figgerin kind of wrong a-settin yers?" "I don't know how you've been figuring." "Guess if them fellers feels 'bout it like you say 'tain't likely they'd turn in an send another feller down yere to jine in an holp you, is it?" "Of course not. How came you to think of the possibility of such a thing?" "It come out of me tryin to fit two ends of a raveled string together." "I don't understand that," Melvin said, with a laugh. "Put it in plain English, if you please." "Waal, it seems kind of odd that two fellers would be sent down yere by different companies, all at once, to hunt for mineral, specially when that hain't no mineral to hunt for, so I 'lowed mebly your company had concluded to send a feller to help you out a bit." "Two fellows sent down here! What do you mean?" "Jest that. Thar's another feller yere besides you." "Who is it?" "Lord a-massy, I don't know who it is." "How do you know he's here?" "Seed him, seed him with my own eyes." "When?" "Today?" "Where?" "Right yere." Melvin began to feel uneasy. He didn't like the idea of another man coming there claiming to be a prospector for minerals. It didn't have the right look, and it smacked of something wrong. "Did he tell you his name?" he asked. "He told me a name." Corner replied. "A name! Do you think he didn't tell you his own name?" "Lord a-massy, how can I tell? You fellers come down here an say your names is so no an how do I know whether you're still in the truth or whether you are? Melvin blush. I land and the old man keenly. Such tall made him suspicious. Then he was not easy about that newcomer. He wondered if Turner had heard something to arouse his suspicions. When one is in continual suspense, it requires but little to alarm him. Quietly enough, however, Melvin asked: "What name did that man give you?" "Waite—Waite—I. He spelled it out for me. Fald he belonged to the firm if Waite & See." "Waite & See! Humph!" "That alm't your firm, I reckon." "No." "Don't know nothin 'bout 'em, I guess." "No." "Quare name for a firm, alm't it?" "Rather." "That's what he said it was, though. I asked him his name, an he said 'Waite. Then I asked him who he worked for, an he said 'Waite & See.'" "Humph! What kind of looking man was he?" "Putty slick lookin' feller—sorfer young, sorter tall, sorter dark, sorter slim an sorter clean shaved. I mought 'a' found out more 'bout him, but you know I'm pow'ful backwards 'bout askin' questions an 'peared like he didn't keen 'bout answerin what I did ask." "How came he to tell you that he had come down here to prospect for minerals?" "Why, we got to talkin' in runnin' on bout one thing an another, an I up an mentions 'bout you a-bein yere, an he asks all 'bout you an 'bout what you was doin yere. When I says you are were a-smellin' round for mineral, he says. Then I reckon I want to meet that man, seein' we're both on the same line of business. That's jest how he come to mention his object in comin' yere." Melvin was silent a long time and deeply thoughtful. The coming of that stranger annoyed and worried him. Turner's description of the man, though vague and general, suited very much to the description of one he did not care to see, the brother of the man whose life he had taken. The claim of the stranger that he, too, had come there to prospect for mineral made his appearance all the more alarming to Melvin, for no one knew better than Melvin that no capitalists were going to waste money in useless prospecting in that section. That claim would do very well, he thought, to fool the natives with, but no one with ordinary business sense would believe it for a minute. He was half inclined to leave the Ridge at once, and had it not been for Mrs. Banks he would have done so. He felt that even at the risk of his life he must remain there until he had succeeded in gaining one more interview with her. Strange how weak a man, strong in all things else, can be when it comes to woman and love! By and by Melvin broke the silence by saying, "You said that man was here today, so I presume he is not here now?" "Lord a-massy, no! No, sir-ee! He wanted to stop, but we had no place for him 'less we put him to sleep with you, an we 'lowed we'd best not do that, seein's you are so dogged part'lar." "I'm glad you came to that conclusion." Melvin replied, "for I certainly should have objected to sharing my bed with any one else." "That's the way I figgered it. You seem to be 'bout as squeamish an exactin as the feller that stopped down to Squire Beeson's oncet. Ever hear 'bout that chap?" "Waal, sir, he was a good un shore, Reg'r blame crank, as the feller says. Got mad 'cause the bed fell down with him in the night an he had to sleep on the floor. Squire explained to him that it was all jest a accident, an you know accidents will happen spite of anything, but that feller was so doggone unreasonable that squire's explanation didn't satisfy him. Next mornin he got madder 'an a wet hen 'eause while he was eatin breakfast a cat jumped on the table an snatched the meat outen his plate an run off with it. Squire ketched the d burned cat an took the meat away from it an put it back on the feller's plate, thinkin natrally that he done all anybody could expect of him, but he found he was mistaken. Feller, 'stid of thankin squire, 'rared up an said he wa'n't goin to stop at no nisch place. Squire, in cose, feels hurt to be talked to that a-way after all his pains to please, so CARTE D'ALLEMAGNE BLUE MOON "A cat jumped on the table an snatched the meat outen his plate." he charges the feller a dollar an tells him to git. Powell unrealizable sort of a chap, that feller was, wa'n't he? "Very." "But that's way of some folks. No matter how much you put yourself out fer 'em, they ain't gain to be pleased." "Yes; that's true. But about that man who was here today. I wonder where he went." "Oh, he went on down the road. Lowin he'd find a place somewhat to hang up his hat. Sip it mellow hell stop with old HI Jennings. I most forget, but I rather think this old HI's day for chillin. If it ain't, he'll be in good humor, an he's moughty nigh shore to let that feller stop." "I pity that man if it should turn out that this is Hi's day for chilling." Melvin remarked, thinking of his own experience with Mr. Jennings. "Lord a massy, yes!" Turner agreed. "He's a powerful fine man when he's rightly at hisse'r, but when his agerc a workin on him he bain't as patient as he might be; an it naturally riles him to be picked an nagged at at sich times." Melyn arose and began to pace slow. ly fo and fro across the yard. His hands were crossed behind him, and his head was beat, and to all outward appearances his mind was busy with deep and serious thoughts. Turner watched him from under his shaggy brows, and he, too, was having some thoughts far deeper and far more serious than any one knew. After awhile Melvin stopped in front of Turner and asked: "How far is it over to Hi Jenkins' place?" "Bout two mile, I reckon." Turner replied, "risin clost on to that anyhow. You thinkin of goln over that?" "Oh, no. I have no business there." Melvin answered disinterestedly. "I was just wondering how far it was. I guess I shall have to ride over to Beckett's Mill tonight, though. I presume the store will be open?" "Oh, yes, the store'll be open." Then Turner added to himself. "All the store you'll want, young feller." CHAPTER XII. A BASH THREAT Pap Sampson, coming down the street from the store, saw a woman dressed in musty black leave his house as he approached and walk away in the opposite direction. Her head was bent, and her attitude and movement gave unmistakable evidence that she was in deep trouble. As Pap entered the yard Mrs. Sampson appeared in the open front door, a look of troubled anxiety on her wrinkled, homely, but kind old face. "Mirandy," Pap said eagerly, "wan't that the wilder Mann that jest went out?" Mrs. Sampson nodded. "I thought it was," Pap went on, "though I wasn't clost enough to see her face. Somethin wrong with her, ain't they?" "The pore critter's in a peck of trouble." Mrs. Sampson answered. "I'd say't!" Pap exclaimed thoughtfully. "Humph! All along of what folks are a-sayin of her an Sim Banks, I reckon." "Waal, it's along of that, Pap, but not 'bout that exactly. You know she's a got piece of wheat down on her farm, an it's ripe and needs cuttin." "Waal?" "An it 'pears lack she'd made a trade with Sim a good spell ago to cut it for on her the sheers." "She did. Mirandy. I was a witness to the trade, an I mind it well." "Waal, now, becus of all the talk that's a-gwine 'bout, Sim he's backed out an won't tech that wheat." "Becs he says if he did it'd give more color to what folks are a-sayin." "An it would, too, Mirandy; it would shore." "So, not havin no money to live with an not bein able to make no trade with nobody else. Mary Mann is plumb at the end of her row, an she don't know which way to turn." "Natrally she would be, Mirandy, Yes, sr-ee." Pap paused for quite awhile, during which time he chewed his tobacco vigorously, showing that he was engaged in earnest thought. Then he added slowly: "Yes, sr-ee Natrally she would be; natrally she would be." "Can't you see no way out for her, Pap?" Mrs. Sampson asked. "I was jest a-thinkin, Mirandy. I hain't no great admiration for Mary Mann, an I guess that ain't many as has, but for all that she's a woman, an widder woman at that. Wonder when her wheat'll do to cut." "Waal, it won't nigh do to let that wheat go to waste; so, as that don't seem to be nothine else for it, I guess I better go out this evenin an gather up a handful of men an take 'em over that tomorry an cut it for her." Mrs. Sampson's face brightened at once. She was one of those great souls plain people who can never bear to see any one in trouble without wanting to move heaven and earth to relieve his distress. "Are you shore you can git the men to go?" she asked. "Lord, yes! Yes, sir-ee! Thar's Jason Roberts. Jason an me has it up an down sometimes, an I reckon the chief enjoyment of his life is to take sides ag'in me in ever'thing I say; but, my land, that ain't nothin, an when it comes right down to the pinch Jason will sw'ar by me. Yes; Jason'g will go an Sam Morgan an Ebenezer Sparks an a lot of the others." "Do you reckon they won't want to charge her for their work, though?" "Lord, Mirandy, you don't know them fellers shorely! Charge a woman, an a widder woman at that, for helpin her out of a pinch! Land! You jest let Mary Mann give us a good dinner, an we'll have all the pay we want. We'll even go to the length of furnishin our jug of liquor if we can git a boy to go to the still after it, an I guess we shorely can." Pap Sampson was busier that afternoon than he had been for a long time. He hunted around till he found six good men to accompany him to Mrs. Mann's farm. Then he hunted up cradles, and last, but not least, he hunted a boy to go after a jug of whisky. "Mought jest as well try to git long without cradles as without a jug of liquor," he said to himself as he pottered about getting everything in readiness. "A getherin without a jug wouldn't be no getherin at all." Pap was in great spirits the next morning when he marshaled his force into the whettfield and got the cradles to go. He hoped about as spry as a boy and gave orders like a general. He even grapped a cradle and prepared to lead the way with the first swat, but Jason took the cradle out of his hands and wouldn't let him. "No, Pap," Jason said, "we can't have that. That's plenty of us younger men here. You jest set down in the shade somewhar an take it easy." Pap fared up with resentment in an instant. "Me set down in the shade!" he cried. "Have you got a notion, Jason Roberts, that I'm so no 'count an played out as all that?'" "Why, Lord, Pap, of course not!" Jason replied, "Didn't say nothin like that, did I?" "Nor you better not say nothin like it if you don't want me to show you in a way you won't forgit that I ain't pig MIRO LIFE OF HAIR. MIRO. BEFORE USING. AFTER USING. MIRO. TRADE MARK.

MIRO LIFE OF HAIR is not a miserable, sickly, gluey, fatty substance like some of the many so-called chemical company's preparations that are on the market at present and which contains an acid which not only drys up the sap of the hair but actually kills the roots of the hair and in a short time causes the hair to fall out, which is the consequence of using such impure and harmful compounds that are put before the public under high sounding names and flaring advertisements to beguile the public by offering to give you $4.00 or $5.00 worth of their products for $4.00 and which is really not worth 10 cents for all of their preparations, as they are made and put up by parties that don't know the least thing of medicine or chemistry, therefore, they produce those harmful and incompatible compounds, which does so much damage to the hair and skin. A pure preparation should be clear, wholesome and harmless. A word to the wise is sufficient.

Mobby you don't b'live it, Jason Roberts, but if you feel like tryin it I'll guarantee to whup you in two shakes of a sheep's tall till you won't know who you are." "Oh, that's all right, Pap. I ain't wantin to fight you." "Co'se you ain't, Jason, 'cause you ain't no fool, an you know it ain't safe to fool with me. Humph! Set down in the shade an rest! My land, Jason Roberts, I've cut more wheat in my time an never grunted at it than you'll ever cut if you live to be a thousand' years old. Set down in the shade an rest! Lord! Sich talk makes me mad." Pap didn't sit down either. Though they denied him the privilege of welding a cradle, he found an opportunity to busy himself by putting the whest "Howdy, boys! Howdy, Fancy!" bundles into shocks. This was light work compared with the other, and, seeing that Pap was determined to do something, Jason encouraged him in it. "Lord!" he said, with a wink at the others. "Pap's jest fell right in whar he plumb belongs. Anybody knows enough to swing a cradle or bind up wheat, but thar's pow'ful blamed few who know how to set up a wheat shock so's it won't spit if it rains. Guess Pap's 'bout the only man here that can do it." This pleased Pap and fully reconcilled him to his work, and he said nothing more about wanting to swing a cradle. In the afternoon he began to go to the shade pretty often, and each time he went he tarried longer than he had the time before. Finally Sam Morgan noticed this and inconsiderately remarked: "Guess you're gittin putty tired, ain't you Pap?" "Tired! Me tired!" Pap exclaimed.

'Tain't 'cause I'm tired, but jest 'cause it's so mis'able hot." The men had all come out to the shade to rest, and presently Stim Banks came down across the field and joined them. He had been working in his own field just on the other side of a fence. He saluted them with: "Howdy, boys? Howdy, Pap?" "Howdy, Sim?" they said in return. "How you gittin 'long?' he asked. "Oh, all right, I guess," Jason replied. "We'll git through before night if nothin happens." "I'm sorry you all had to cut this wheat," Sim said after a pause, "when I'd done agree with Mis'sn Mann that I'd do it. I didn't feel that I ort to keep my promise, though, after all them things she's been a-sayin of late." "You done jest right, Sim," Pap Sampson announced unhesitatingly, "an nobody can't blame you a bit. When Mary Mann interfered like she did to make trouble betwixt you an Louesey, you won't under no obligations to do nothin for her no more, not a hand's turn." "Tain't that, Tap, that held me back from doth as Id agreed. "Tain't that I hate Mary Mann too bad to lift a finger for her. It's 'cause of what people are a-sayin, an 'cause it'd give 'em room to say more, an—an 'cause I don't want to do nothin to hurt Loueesy." Slim paused for a moment, but no one spoke, and presently he went on more earnestly. "I don't like to have hard feelin's agin' nubbody," he said, "an specially not agin'a woman, but Mis'us Mann didn't have no call to go an do the way she done, for she told a plumb p'int blank lie when she narrated it around that I come to her house that night an made love to her. Lord, I never thought onceet of doin no sich a thing, no more than I thought of stickin'm head in the fire. It was her that done it, an God knows I tried ever' which a-way to keep her from it. I told Louesy jest how it were, but she won't b'ieve it, though I told her I'd sw'ar to it on a stack of Bibles as high as they could be piled. I hate Mary Mann wuss'n I hate the pizenest snake that crawls, for she's a plumb liar, an she knows it." Sim paused again, and this time Pap Sampson spoke. "Sim," he said reassuringly, "don't none of my b'lieve nothin' ag in you that Mary Mann has told, nary a word. Nor, for my part, I hain't a-gwine to believe it, not if she is to swar to it till she was plumb black in the face." "No, but Louessy b'lieve it." Sim replied sadly, "an 'd ruther anybody else' b'lieve it than her.

To them his threat signified more, much more, than he suspected. It impressed itself so indelibly on their minds that they never forgot it, and on an after occasion they recalled it with a sickening dread that made them shudder.

HE PLANET TALE OF TREACHERY Modoc Tribe Wiped Out by Self Seeking White Men. Princess Mary, Surviving Sister of the Famous Capt. Jack, Tella the Story of Her People's Misfortunes and Misery. It is a pitiful tale of a vanishing race that comes from the pen of the artist Burbank, who had been paying a visit to the remnant of the Modoc tribe in the Indian territory. There are left only 50 of this once numerous and warlike people. Princess Mary, a sister of the Modoc chief, Capt. Jack, who was hanged 30 years ago for a bit of treachery to the whites, told the story to the artist of her tribe's woes. Years ago there were many Modocs. They lived in southern Oregon along the banks of the Lost river. The whites invaded the country without an attempt at treaty. A frontiersman named Ben Wright lost a friend or two in a battle with the Indians. He plotted revenge. At first he formed a wagon train and into each covered vehicle he loaded armed men. The train had the appearance of a peaceful settlers' caravan. The wagons were driven into the Modocs' country. The warriors came to the hills, looked at the train and did not attack. The ruse failed. Then Ben Wright put on the garb of a peaceful trader, and sending out some runners induced men, women and children of the Modoc tribe to meet him at the base of some foothills, there to exchange pelts for coveted gegwaws. The Modocs came unarmed. They squatted in a great group in front of the supposed trader. Suddenly the hillside was aflame. The rifles of more than a hundred concealed men opened on the defenseless Modocs. They broke and fled, but left scores of dead and wounded behind. The whites saw to it that the wounded speedily joined the ranks of the dead. Capt. Jack as a boy was present at this massacre. Years afterward, when stand- THE MODOC'S SURPRISE. (Discovery of the Wagons on Their Way to His Country.) ing in the shadow of the gallows upon which he was to be hanged for murdering a white man, he ironically asked the hangman for a list of the palefaces who had been convicted and hanged for the killing of the Modocs. It was some satisfaction, doubtless, to this Modoc warrior to hear that not long before Ben Wright had been lured from his cabin and killed at the doorstep by the son of one of the victims of his treachery. Now, says the Chicago Record-Herald, there are only 50 of the Modoes left. The wonder grows in view of their persecution that they muster even a half hundred strong. Once the government asked the Modoes to leave their ancestral home and take residence on the Klamath reservation. Through the influence of Superintendent A. B. Meacham they were induced to move. No sooner were the Modoes settled on the new land than the Klamath Indians began to molest them. They were moved to another part of the reservation. There the Klamaths attacked again and the local agent refused to issue food. The Modoes were starving, and without notice, between suns, they took up the march back to the fertile Lost river country. There Meacham sought them out again. He was authorized, he thought, as a last resort, to give them permission to stay where they were. The Indians accepted this permission gladly and promised peace with undoubted sincerity. Within a month the government ordered Soldiers surprised them and killed five of the band. The Modoes retaliated later and then took to the lava beds, where the First cavalry was sent to dislodge them. Through eastern efforts a peace commission was appointed. Its members were Gen. Canby, A. B. Meacham and a clergyman named Thomas. These men were lured to a conference with Jack and several of his warriors. The white men were killed. For months the Indians fought the whites from the stronghold of the lava beds. Finally they were overcome, and Capt. Jack, Schonchin and Black Jim were hanged. As a lesson to the tribe that treachery was a white man's prerogative. In her log hut in the Indian territory Princess Mary still wears the mourning emblems of her tribe in memory of her chieftain brother. A few more seasons and there will be none left of these manful Modocs to mourn the warrior dead. CELEBRITIES OF THE DAY. Ex. Gov. Llewellyn Powers, the new congressman from Maine, is 62 years old, and has been active in politics since 1864. He owns 170,000 acres of timber land. Elihu Root, secretary of war, made up his mind when he was ten years old to be a lawyer, but a combination of circumstances made it impossible for him to take up the study of the law until he was over 21 years of age. Gatling, the famous gunmaker does not confine himself to devising means for the destruction of human life. He is continually trying to improve agricultural machinery. Curiously enough, his first invention was a seed sowing machine, while his latest is a horseless plow. Montana's new senator, Paris Gibson, is a popular man in Minneapolis, Minn. He started the first wooler mill in that city, but failed in the panic of 1877, owing his employees nearly $10,000. Soon after Gibson went to Montana and a decade later returned to Minneapolis and paid off every cent of his indebtedness, with interest at seven per cent. Prof. Edward A. Ross, whose dismissal from Leland Stanford university has caused much unfavorable comment in the newspapers, has been elected professor of sociology, at a large salary, at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Neb., and has also been made university lecturer in sociology at Harvard university. The University of Nebraska will give him leave of absence to deliver his lectures at Harvard next year. FAMOUS FOREIGNERS Cecil Rhodes is an invertebrate smoker. He has a strong cigar between his lips all the time he is indoors during the day. President Diaz of Mexico is a most abstemious man. His daily fare is almost Spartan and even when he attends official banquets he departs but little from his regular diet. M. de Blowitz, the famous Paris correspondent of the London Times, said in a recent interview: "I have got so used to writing for publication that even my personal letters have a sort of printed tone. I dare say I'll die with a pen in my hand." Minister Wu is of the opinion that the easiest way to keep his countrymen out of the United States is to impose an educational test on all Chinese who wish to land. He says that the Chinese to whom the exclusion act applies are exceedingly ignorant, being generally unable to read or write their own language, so that the means he suggests would put a stop to nearly all the smuggling of human contraband. ON RAILS OF STEEL. Only India and Germany carn over five per cent, on their railway lines. The world's average is $3\frac{1}{4}$ per cent. It was held recently in a London police court that no one has any right to force his way into a railway carriage already full. Germany led Europe in length of railroads at the end of 1899, with 34,069 miles, of which 600 miles were opened that year. Russia came next, with 28,745 miles, an increase of 2,164 in the year. A new idea in table decorations was evolved by Charles De Cordova in a dinner given by the New York Athletic club to P. R. Todd, recently elected to a vice presidency of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad. In the center of the table was a large bank of roses, around the edge of which was constructed a miniature railroad, on which a locomotive, baggage car and passenger coach, operated by electricity, whirled about the table at a speed of about 50 miles an hour. There are 2,364 banks in Japan, representing $253,249,936. The population of Buenos Ayres on January 1 was 821,293. Only 12 acres in every 100 of Japan's 47,000 square miles are under cultivation. Sydney, 10,120 miles from London as the crow flies, is the most distant large town from England. Australia, 26 times larger than the whole of the British Isles, has a population smaller than that of London. The khedive of Egypt is an energetic fireman and has his palace fitted up with all the latest fire extinguishers. He has periodic fire drills for his household and occasionally turns in a false alarm in the small hours. Owing to competition with Spain, Italy and northern Africa, where labor is cheaper, French farmers are abandoning the cultivation of olive groves. In the department of Marseilles alone within six months 40,000 olive trees were uprooted. HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS To stuff an olive, peel the pulp from the stone spirally, as one peels an apple, being careful not to let it break. Then make a tiny ball of the filling and fold the strip about it. A delicious sandwich is made by spreading thin ovals of bread with equal parts of finely chopped celery and walnut meats, mixed with chopped olives and a little mayonnaise. Old potatoes should always be placed over the stove in cold water and new potatoes in boiling water. Let the old potatoes stand in ice water for an hour or two after peeling and before cooking. Too much baking powder is often used in doughnuts and fried drop cakes, causing the dough to burst out in very irregular bubbles on the edge, which soak fat and make the doughnuts heavy and unshapely. An Importability "I never change my mind!" roared he "To his wife's argument." "I wish I had that five dollars Skitts owes me." "Why don't you ask him for it?"

Duties Collected Before the Passage of | the Porto Rican Att Must Se Return: | td—Porto Rico Never Foreign Terri- tory After the Treaty of Paris. ‘Washington, May 28.—in the United States supreme court yesterday opin. fons were anded down in all but two of the cases before that court involv. ing the relation of the United States to its insular possessions. The two cases in which no conclusion was an. Rounced were those known as the 14 diamond rings case and the second of the Dooley cases. The undecided oo ley case deals with a phase of the Por- to Rican question, and the diamond rings case Involves the rigat to the free importation of merchandise trom the Philippines to the United Sia:es. Of the several cases decided yester day the two which attracted the great eat share of attention from the court Were what is known as the De Lima case and that known as the Downes case, and of these two the opinion in the Downes case is considered the most far reaching, as it affects our fu: ture relations, whereas the De Lina cane dealt with a transitional phase of our Insular relations. The court was very evenly divided on both cases | but political lines were not at all con- treling. The De Lima case involved the pow- er of the government to collect a duty on goods imported into the United States from Porto Rico after the ratt- fication of the treaty of Paris and be- fore the passage of the Porto Rican act. The court said the government's contention in this case was substan. tially a claim that Porto Rico is foreign territory. The court held that the po- sition was not well taken; that Porto Rico was not at the time foreign ter- ritory, ang that therefore the duty which had been collected must be re- turned. ‘The Downes case dealt with the le- gality of the exaction of duties on goods imported from Porte Rico into New York after the passage of the For- aker act providing for a duty upon goods shipped from the United States into Porto Rico and also on those ship: ped from Porto Rico to the United States. In this case the court held that such exaction was legal and constitu: onal. The point of the two opinions constd- ered collectively ts that Porto Rico was never after the acquisition of that island foreign territory; that until con gress acted upon the question no duty could be collected. but that as soon a8 congress outlined a method of con- trolling the Island’s revenues that ac. Hon became binding: in other words, that congress has power under the con stitution to prescribe the manner of collecting the revenues of the coun- try’s insular possessions, and has the right to lay a duty on goods imporied into our insular possession from the United States or exported from them Into the United States It holds in brief that for taxation purposes they are not @ part of the United States to the extent that goods shipped between their ports and the United States are entitled to the same treatment as though they were shipped between New York and New Orleans, Justice Brown delivered the court's pinion in both, and there were vigor- ous dissenting opinions in both. In the Downes case four of the nine mem- pers of the court united in an olaaes| characterizing in strong language the pinion of the majority in that cae In this opposing opinion the chief jus. ‘ce and Justices Harlan, Brewer and | Peckham united, | EXTRA O8S0lInN Ge Chusmeee ident and His Advisers. Cedar Rapids, Ia, May 29.—The President and the members of the cab. inet spent much of the time yesterday reading and discussing the published reports of the opinions of the supreme court in the insular cases. They were much interested'in the way the court Aivided In the two cases, The decision In the De Lima case, If followed in the Philippines case, as it is assumed tt ‘will be, might result in the calling of an extra session af congress. Such a decision would mean not only the refunding of duties heretofore col- lected, but would open the ports of the United States to merchandise and goods of every description from the Phillppines until con3reas meets in De. cember. It is obvious that importers might take advantage of this to ship goods into the United States through the Philippines and thus defraud the government of its revenues. Whether the danger from this source is great enough to warrant the calling of con: gress in extra session will be decided vnly after full deliberation. IcIs possible, however, that this dan- ker may have been already obviated in the enactment of the Spooner reso lution delegating temporarily to the president the power to govern the Phil- ippines. This may be considered an act of congress within the meaning of the Downes decision affirming the con- stitutionality of the Foraker law. ke cet ga ae ee arn cee ee EO Sandusky, O., May 29.—An oil well that throws a six-inch stream of petro: Jeum fully 700 feet in the air has been struck on Middle Bass Island, in Lake Erie, a few miles from this city.

Reunion in Memphis of Men Who Wore the Gray, BISHOP GAILOR’S FORCEFULPLEA An Earnest Argument in Favor of Edu cating the Children of the South te Clearly Comprehend the Sacrifices and Patriotism of Their Fathers, Memphis. Tenn., May 29.—Twenty three hundred and five members of the United Confederate Veterans, surviv ors of the great armies that battled for the cause of the south during the wat Of secession, and representing 1,331 ‘camps of the organization, met in Con federate Hall yesterday for thetr Lith annual reunion. Several delegations arrived too late to participate In the opening session of the convention, but it is expected that there will be fully 2,509 old soldiers tn attendance. Although the convention in point of oratory, enthusiasm and all other re spects was a most brilliant success, the weather put a damper om the one feature of the reunion which Memphis had arranged with especial care and pride. This was the great floral pa. rade, which, owing to the threatening clouds and muddy streets in the out skirts of the city, was postponed, as was the exhibition of the freworks ep the Mississippi river. Before the meeting of the conven. tion in the Confederate Hall the La dies’ Memorial association signalized the first day of the reunion by holding in Calvary church a memorial meet: ing for Jefferson Davis The exercises comprised the rendering of several hymns and a memorial address by Bishop Thomas G. Gatlor. | Bishop Gatlor, who is a forcetul and ‘pleasing speaker, took exceptions to the term “rebellion,” as applied to the war between the states, and spoke earnestly In favor of educating the chil dren of the south so that they would clearly comprehend the sacrifices and patriotism of their fathers. He made @ strong plea for that justice to the motives actuating the south during the war, which he asserted had been de nied to them by certain historians. The children of the south, he declared. must never be made to believe that thelr fathers had done anything but what they believed in their inmost hearts to be right. He closed with an eloquent tribute to the patience and heroism shown by the women of th: south, which fully equalled, he said tte gallantry revealed :by the |. men upon the battlefield. During Bishop Gailor’s address Gen Joseph Wheeler quietly entered th: hall, and was loudly cheered. While Gens. Wheeler and Gordon stood han’ in hand on the platform the cheering became Intense. Gen. Wheeler express ed his thanks. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee then delivered ¢ short speech and was followed by Sen ator Bate, of Tennessee. The great Convention Hall was the center of an enormous crowd for near ly two hours before the hour set for the commencement of the exercises. ‘The Interior of the hall was a thing of beauty, the excellent work of the dec orators being shown fn all its merit The exercises were almost entirely confined to the welcoming addresses the completion of permanent organiza tion and the appointment of the com mittees on resolutions and ebedentials BEAUTIFUL, BREEZY, == RIGHT ON THE CHESAPEAKE BAY.

Rarely has it fallen to the lot of the writer of this tribute to record the death of one so much beloved and so widely lamented as the subject of this obituary, Richard Aulersor. Cut down in the midst of his usurpness, and youth, having not attained his 3 st year. He leaves a widow, and a little daughter. to whom he was a perfect husband and father, to mourn his irreparable loss, a model son to his aged mother, who preceded him to the grave, by his industry and care providing her every comfort and extending it to a large circle of brothers and sisters and their families to whom he was related. Thus a brother, always bright and cheerful, courteous and obliging, not unassuming to the degree. He won the respect and confidence of all with whom he was associated, not less than by the sterling qualities of honesty, sobriety and fidelity to duty. In his capacity as railroad employee he was held in the highest esteem by his superiors and favorably impressed the host of people with whom he came in contact. With everything to bind him to earth he met the last enemy with resignation, and doubtless now rests in the bosom of his God, for they are God's children who are most like him. His devoted wife spared no pains or cost to honor him, having him interred in the most elegant manner with all the refinements of the present day. "Peace to his ashes." May 28, '01. ISABEL JONES.

Norman Lieber, judge advocate general of the United States army, who will retire in May, having reached the age limit, was born in Columbia, D. C., in 1837. He is the son of Francis Lieber, the distinguished writer and publicist, who was professor of history and political economy in South Carolina college, from which institution G. Norman Lieber graduated in 1856. From here he went to Harvard law school, graduating in 1859. In 1861 he entered the military service of the United States as first GEN. G. N. LIEBER. (Judge Advocate General of the United States Army.) Leutenant of the Eleventh United States infantry and served through the Peninsula campaign. He was aid de camp to Gen. Halleck and went with Gen. Banks to New Orleans when the latter joined the command of the department of the Gulf. At this time he was major and judge advocate of volunteers. In 1867 he became a judge advocate in the permanent establishment. In 1884 he was made acting judge advocate general and in 1895 judge advocate general of the army, with the rank of brigadier. Gen. Lieber was brevetted for gallantry at Gaines' Mill, and was created major for gallant and meritorious services in the Red river campaign. He was one of the four original founders of the Military Service institution, the others being Gen. D. S. Stanley, J. B. Fry and T. F. Rodenbough. His father fought against Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo and came out unscathed, but his elder brother, Oscar (at one time state geologist of South Carolina), was in the confederate service, and died of wounds received at the battle of Williamsburg. Another brother lost an arm at Fort Donelson. His eldest son, Francis Lieber, died of typhoid fever while in military service in the Spanish-American war as acting assistant surgeon. GEN. CORBIN ENGAGED Adjutant General of the Army to Wed Miss Edythe Patten, n Washington Society Belle. Washington society was greatly interested in the announcement made recently of the engagement of Miss Edythe Patten to Maj. Gen. Henry C. Corbin, adjutant general of the United States army. Miss Patten, who is one of the most popular young women in the smart set of Washington, is very pretty and highly accomplished. She is wealthy and she and her three sisters have been prominent in the social functions of the capital, notably in those of the diplomatic circle. Gen. Corbin is a widower. He also has been an active participant in social GEN. HENRY C. CORBIN. (Adjutant General of the United States Army.) affairs and is of fine, commanding presence, being one of the tallest men in the army. His son, Rutherford Corbin, is assistant secretary of the Philippine commission, and his daughter is Mrs. William U. Parsons, of Ardsley on the Hudson. Gen. Corbin will go to the Philippines in June to visit his son. He will return in time to be married in October. Miss Patten will spend the summer with her sisters in Europe, chiefly in Paris, where she will order her trousseau. Gen. Corbin has bought a piece of property in the northwestern part of Washington, near the site of the proposed new French embassy, where he will build a home which he and his bride will occupy next winter. Snake Dines on Four Goats. A Penang paper contains an affecting story of a hungry boa-constrictor at Relan. The reptile gorged itself with four young goats, one after another, and then, smacking its lips, disposed his eight feet of length to slumber.

TWENTY-ONE MEN KILLED And Nine Seriously Injured in a Mine Emergency Trauma Explosion in Tennessee. Dayton, Tenn., May 28.—At the Richland mine of the Dayton Coal and Iron company, two miles from Dayton, yesterday afternoon a terrific explosion of gas, formed by the collection of coal dust, resulted in the death of 21 men, all white, and most of them married and with families. The explosion was caused by what is known among miners as a "blown blast." It is the custom of the miners to place blasts and fire them off at quitting time each afternoon, leaving the coal thus thrown down to be loaded and hauled from the mine the next morning. The list of dead follows: Tom Wright, Dick Smith, Will Matthews, Sam Smith, Bailey Smith, Tom Walker, George Holmes, J. F. Gothard, Terry Smith, Abe Gothard, Sam Burwick, Jim Pickle, Wash Trasley, Oscar Rodgers, Lewis G. Rodgers, Lowry Hawkins, Perry Pope, Lige Poole, Andy Medley and Will Rose. The Richland mine is destitute of water, and hence great volumes of fine particles of coal dust, invisible to the naked eye, accumulate at the roof of the mine, forming a highly inflammable gas. Yesterday afternoon at exactly 4:30 o'clock a dynamite cartridge was placed in position in one of the rooms for a blast. The miners had just started for the mouth of the mine. The blast did not explode as intended, but instead a long flame shot out of the blast hole and ignited this accumulation of dust. Instantly a terrific explosion occurred and a seething mass of flame shot to the mouth of the mine and extended 300 feet into the open air, scorching the leaves from the nearby trees. There were 34 men in the mine at the time. Four of these escaped with slight injuries. Twenty-one were killed and nine were terribly burned, most of them fatally. SOUTHERN BREVITIES. Huntsville, May 29.—The Tennessee ers of this section have lost $100,000 by the flood. Replanting of thousands of acres of cotton and corn will be necessary. Richmond, Va., May 26.—Up to last evening 351 delegates had been elected to the Virginia Democratic state convention for the nomination of candidates for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general. The convention will be composed of about 1,500 delegates, rendering 750 votes necessary for a nomination. The delegates so far elected are instructed as follows: For Montague, 167; Swanson, 152; Marshall, 28; Echols, 11, with 13 in doubt. Jacksonville, Fla., May 29—The labor problem is still a great one to deal with, but carpenters are being supplied with tools and a number of buildings are now in the course of erection. There are some men on the streets who are chronic idlers, and the lumber mills are short of hands to do their work. The idlers are cut off from the commissaries, and every effort is being made to find out whether the women are feeding them from the commissaries. Jacksonville, Fla., May 25.—The Relief association yesterday distributed 3,050 rations and gave away clothing to 350 people. This shows that the relief department has systematized the distribution very thoroughly, as compared with two weeks ago, when 12,320 people were fed and half that number clothed. There is plenty of work in the city now for all laboring men, and as soon as mechanics are supplied with tools there will be no reason why every man able to handle a tool of any kind can not find employment. Key West, Fla., May 27.—A terrible tragedy was enacted here last Saturday night at the cottage occupied by the D'Ormond Fuller Opera company, as a result of which Miss Inez Leonard and Edgar Beaucligh, two members of the company, are dead. The latter, who had been drinking, shot the woman and then killed himself. The couple were always very affectionate toward each other. They were engaged and expected to be married as soon as they went north. There had been no quarrel, or anything approaching a quarrel between them, so far as is known. Charlottesville, Va., May 26.—The body of Carl H. Hotop, of this city, was found this morning beside the Chesapeake and Ohio railway track one mile west of Waynesboro. His pockets had been rifled, probably by tramps. Mr. Hotop left here on a late train yesterday afternoon after a hurried business trip to Staunton, and it is believed that he was returning on the fast train due here at 3:29 this morning and that he fell from the train. He leaves a widow and one child. A short time ago Mr. Hotop took out life and accident insurance policies amounting to $65,000. Elizabethtown, Tenn.. May 23.—A flood from the Dee and Watauga rivers swept through the low lying section of Elizabethtown during the night, drowned three persons, carried away 62 dwellings, and caused damage in the rich farming districts of Carter county estimated at $1,000,000. Nearly every farm house for some distance along both rivers was destroyed or washed from its foundations, and it is possible the loss of life will be greatly increased when full reports are received. The known dead are Mrs. Gregg, Mrs. Filley and a negro known as Souchong **Bad for the Head.** Mrs. Binks—Headache this morning, eh? Humph! What caused that?

Immature wood, that is the wood on a tree which has not attained its full growth, is said not to be so durable as the wood of a full-grown tree. Houses which are damp because of proximity to undrained land may be rendered more habitable by planting the laurel and sunflower near them. Wood is not generally well seasoned by a very high temperature. If the heat is too great the moisture escapes very rapidly and the wood is liable to crack or split.

The earar readen many books, but seldom picks up a newspaper. George III had the family taint of lunacy, and for many years was insane. Empress Elizabeth of Russia was one of the stoutest women of her time. Charles Martel, or Charles the Hammer, carried a mace weighing 36 pounds. The king of Siam wears what is probably the richest state attire of any reigning monarch. The jewels of such occasions are valued at 800,000. When the dowager empress of Germany first came to the Berlin court it was remarked to Baron Humboldt, then an old man of 90, that the prince, her husband, deferred to her in everything. "Very properly so," replied the great scientist, "she is the wiser man of the two." By a curious chance, George, the second son of the king of Denmark, has reigned for a longer period over Greece than his father has over his native kingdom, George having been elected king of the Hellenes in March, 1863, while King Christian did not ascend the throne until six months later.

CHAIRMAN REVISION COMMITTEE. The Selection of Moderator Minton to Succeed Rev. D. Dickey In That Position Disturbs the Equanimity of the Commissioners. Philadelphia, May 28.—The 113th Presbyterian general assembly was dissolved at 6:15 o'clock last night by Moderator Minton after having been in session for nearly two weeks, during which time many matters of the utmost importance to the church were considered. Chief among these was the question regarding the revision of the confession of faith. After a discussion continuing nearly four days this momentous subject was referred to a special committee of 21 members, who will make recommendations as to the manner in which the creed should be revised and present them to the next general assembly, which meets in New York. Yesterday, for the first time since the assembly convened, the equanimity of the commissioners was disturbed by the introduction of personalities. The trouble occurred during the discussion on the chairmanship of the revision committee. Rev. Dr. J. D. Moffat suggested a change in the minutes of Monday's session, so the records would show that a new committee had been appointed to revise the creed, regardless of the old committee, of which Rev. Dr. Charles A. Dickey, of this city, was chairman His suggestion was adopted and Rev. Dr. James E. Moffat, of Cumberland Md., moved that Moderator Minton be elected chairman of the committee. This incensed the friends of Dr. Dickey, and although Dr. Moffatt's motion prevailed the subject was revived later in the session by Rev Dr. S. J. Niccollis, of St. Louis. Dr Niccollis moved to reconsider the motion, but as he had not been present during the earlier debate he was declared out of order. The motion to reconsider was then renewed by Rev W. D. Crockett, of Canton Pa., and many of the commissioners participated in the debate that followed. Realizing the delicacy of his position Moderator Minton re-inquired the chair to Vice Moderator Pitcairn. The matter was finally ad-justed by Dr. Dickey, who advised the assembly against reconsidering the motion, saying he was confident that there had been no attempt to cast any reflection upon him, but that the commissioners merely desired *to honor his successor.* Dr. Dickey's friends wanted the election of the chairman to be made by the committee, in which event it is conceded Dr. Dickey would have been re-elected.

Miner was a graduate of Edinburgh university, a native of New England, but a resident of Texas, and a friend of Gen. Samuel Houston. He served under Taylor in the Mexican war. The civil war swept away his fortune, and since then he had battled unsuccessfully in the effort to build up a new fortune. Three weeks ago his wife, who bravely shared his ill fortune with him, died, aged 80 years. Hero Lost His Life. Annapolis, Md., May 29.—Horace Ridout, a prominent real estate dealer of this city, lost his life as the result of an heroic attempt to rescue his aunt from a burning building. Mr. Ridout was visiting his brother, Dr. Ridout who lives five miles from Annapolis. At 3 o'clock in the morning the house was burned and all the inmates had thrilling escapes. Horace Ridout carried out his aged and invalid uncle while Dr. Ridout got his wife and three children and his aunt, Miss Nell Ridout, who is aged and infirm, out of the second story window by means of a ladder. Horace Ridout, not knowing of his aunt's escape, rushed into the burning building to save her. He was burned to a crisp. Cubans Accept the Platt Amendment. Havana. May 29. The Platt amendment was accepted by the Cuban constitutional convention yesterday by a vote of 15 to 14.

Reputable Father Cannot Gain Posses sion of His YearOld Child New York, May 29—Frank B. Weyant, the wealthy owner of a cattle ranch near Lincoln, Neb., made an unsuccessful effort in the supreme court yesterday to obtain the custody of his infant child Gladys. About a year ago Mr. Weyant came to Brooklyn with his wife to pay a visit to his relatives. While here the child was born and the mother died a few days after the birth. Mr. Weyant returned to Nebraska to attend to his business interests there, leaving the child with his brother, Henry S. Weyant, and his wife, Lizzie A few months later correspondence was opened with a view of having the child sent on to the father, but the brother sent word to the father that he could not think of such a thing, and that the idea of having so young a child travel so long a distance was absurd in the extreme. Finally Weyant came on with his sister, Mrs. Lucy Armstrong, but was surprised to find that the brother refused to surrender the child. He then had recourse to the courts, and the case came up before Supreme Court Justice Maddox yesterday. Justice Maddox decided that the child should remain in the custody of the brother for a year, at the end of which time the father might renew his application. John W.

Miss Edith Williams Wants Every Lady Reader of This Paper to Know How she Saved Her Father. Used an Odorless and Tasteless Remedy In His Food Quickly Curing trim Without His Knowledge. Trial Package of the Remedy Mailed Free to Show How Easy it is To Oure Drunkards. Nothing could be more dramatic devoted than the manner in which Ms Edith Williams, Box 38, Wayneville, Ohio, cured her drunken father after years of misery, sickness and almost unb arable suffering. MIS3 EDITH WILLIAMS. "Yes, father, 'and our friends think it a miracle that I cured him without his knowledge or consent. I had read how Mrs. Kate Lynch of 329 Ellis St., San Francisco, Cal, had cured her husband by using a remy-d secretly in his coffee and food and I wrote to Dr. Haines for a trial. When it came I put some in father's coffee and food and watched him closely but he couldn't tell the diff-ence, so I kept it up. "One morning father got up and said he was hurry. This was a good sign as he rarely ate much breakfast. He went away and when he came home at noon perfectly sober I was almost frantic with joy as I hadn't seen him sober for half a day before in over fourteen years. After dinner he sat in the big easy chair and said, 'Edita I don't know what has come over me but I hate the sight and smell of liquor and am going to stop drinking forever.' This was too much for me and I told him then what I had done. Well, we both had a good cry, and now we have the happiest home and the kindest father you can imagine. I am so glad you will publish this ex perience for it will reach many others and let them know about that wonderful Golden Speeifa." Dr. Haines, the discoverer, will send a sample of this grand remedy free to who will write for it. Enough of the remedy is mailed free to show how it is applied tea, coffee or food, and that it will cure the dreaded habit quietly and permanently. Send your name and address. Dr. J. W. Haynes, 1841 Glenn Building, Chinchinati, Ohio, and he will mail a free sample of the remedy to you, securely used as a plain wrapper, also full directions to use it, books and testimonials from hundreds who have been cured, and everything needed to aid you in saving those near and dear to you from a life of degradation and ultimately poverty and disgrace. Send for a free trial to-day. It will brighten the rest of your life. ```markdown ``` Copyrighted.

The wind is blowing a song from me the fields to Daisy, and "Daisy, Daisy, Daisy" follow the foxy on the hill Oh, the clouds are lighter and farther away Than ever they used to be. Oh, the wind is blowing a song away Over the fields to Daisy, And all that ever the blackbirds say Daisy "Daisy, Daisy." The hen hawk is watching and wheeling high And he soars and he dips and rises. And wonder why people will worry and strive for pitiful prizes? The shadows that fall on the furrows are long. The shadows with mist is gray— It is time to unhitch and be done with my song. It is time to be happy and hurry away Over the fields to Daisy. -S. E. Kiser, in Chicago Record-Herald. TWO children—a boy about ten years old and a girl somewhat younger—were playing hide-and-seek among broken pillars and heaps of fallen stones down in the dark cellars of a ruined house in the Hindu fort of Fati-Ghur, in northern India. It was a gloomy place—black, lonesome, dreary—and just the spot where you might expect a wildcat or a poisonous snake to pop out upon you at any moment; but Harry and Nellie did not seem to mind it a bit, and went scampering, and laughing through the dim archways and dark, ghostly vaults as merrily as if they had been in a kindergarten. It was certainly a very strange place to choose for a playground, and it was stranger still that they should be playing and laughing at all, with the shadow of death deepening day by day over themselves, their fathers and the whole curiosity of the War was raging throughout the entire district, and all around Fati-Ghur lay encamped, a great host of force Hindu warriors, vowing never to leave the place until they had taken the place and killed every living thing within its walls. Three times had the besleges made a furious attack on the fort, but each time they had been beaten off with heavy loss, and did not seem inclined to try it again. But all day long—and sometimes at night, too — they kept banging away at the walls with their cannon and muskets, till no one could look over the battlements for fear of being shot dead, and the sick and wounded men of the garrison were quite worn out with the ceaseless din. Worse, still, food was beginning to run short, and they would soon be forced to surrender or be all starved to death, unless some one came to the rescue; and there seemed to be little hope for that, for it would have taken a large army, as well as a brave one, to cut through the forest of white turbans and colored robes and dark, fierce faces and glittering weapons that hemmed in the doomed fortress on every side. "And we've helped to defend the fort, too," said Harry to Nellle, as they paused to rest, after running themselves quite out of breath. "I heard Capt. Markham say so myself, while I was helping mamma to scrape lint for those soldiers that were wounded last night." "And I've torn up a whole lot of rags for bandages," replied Nelle, proudly; "and I'm going to tear up a lot more this afternoon. I do wish, though, they'd give over fighting. I'm so tired of those guns banging, away all night long, and it's so horrid seeing the poor soldiers brought in all cut and bleeding. There's poor Sergt. Bennet, who made all those pretty toys for me, has got such a terrible hurt all along one side of his head, where a bullet hit him the other day; and it's so sore that he can't sleep a bit." "Never mind," answered Harry, assuming quite a fatherly air, in virtue of his being six months the older of the two; "just you wait two or three days more, and then you'll see Gen. Rose and his men come up from the other side of the river and send all these black fellows flying." "But I heard papa say yesterday," cried Nellie, with a rather grave look on her round, rosy little face, "that gen. Rose has only a few hundred men with him just now; and surely they can't fight a whole army at once." "Can't they?" cried Harry, disdainfully. "Didn't Lord Clive thrash 60,000 of them at Plassey, with only 2,000 men of his own? And didn't the duke of Wellington send the ragh's whole army scampering with only two regiments? Just you wait and see, that's all. I say, let's have another game. You go and hide, and I'll hunt for you." Away went Nellie instantly, right into the gloomiest and loneliest part of the ruins, bent upon discovering some place where even Harry himself would not be able to find her. Fearlessly she picked her way in almost total darkness through one black and dismal vault after another for the roughest soldier in the garage was not braver than our little golden-haired Nellie and at length she came to a spot where two great masses of masonry had fallen in such a way as to lean against each other, forming a kind of low arch very much like the mouth of a cavern. "Harry will never find me here," said she to herself, triumphantly, as she, rept into the hole; and, finding it not large enough to let her stand upright, she lay right down upon the ground, and remained as quiet as a mouse, chuckling inwardly to think how puzzled Harry would be when he came to look for her. But scarcely had her ear touched the earth when she became aware of a strange, dull sound deep down below her, like the measured beat of oars or the noise which would be made by some one thumping hard against a padded door. What could it be? It was certainly not Harry, and there was no one else down there except herself, but the sound could not be merely her fancy—she was quite sure that she did hear it, and what was more, it seemed to be growing louder and coming nearer. Then, for the first time, little Nellie began to feel frightened. Even in the course of her short life she had seen in the East Indian jungles so many tigers and crocodiles and huge snakes and other terrible creatures that it seemed quite natural to her that some unknown and fearful monster should have its underground den beneath the fort, and should now be at work to dig its way out and devour them all. Nellie scrambled headlong out of her hiding-place—never heeding how sorcely her poor little arms and face were bruised by the rough stones—and darted out of the vault in such haste as almost to knock down Harry, whom she encountered just at the entrance. "Oh, Harry," she panted, "there's a monster living there under the ground, and it's trying to claw its way out and eat us!" The boy looked puzzled, as well he might, and at first seemed more inclined to laugh than to be scared. But he became serious enough when Nellie took him back to the spot and they both heard the mysterious noise plainer than ever. "I'll tell you what," said he, with an air of decision, "I'll just go straight to papa and tell him about this. If there's anything wrong he ought to be told at once, for his commandant of the fort, you know." And away they both flew to the old colonel's quarters as fast as their feet could carry them. The commandant, who had quite enough to think of just then, for he was in the very midst of an inspection of the failing provisions and a calculation how long they could be made to last, frowned slightly at the intrusion of the children, and was going to order them out again. But the instant he heard Harry's first mention of the mysterious sound, the THEY BOTH HEARD THE MYSTERIOUS NOISE. colonel's stern, weather-beaten face changed visibly and looked so grave that Nedie felt quite convinced that there was really an underground monster beneath the fort, which was trying to get out and eat them all up; and she was more certain of it than ever when she heard the old colonel making Harry describe as exactly as possible the precise spot where the strange noise had been heard. "Have you told anyone else about this, my boy?" asked he, after hearing all that there was to be told. "No; I thought I had better report direct to you, as commandant of the garrison," replied Harry, doing his best to speak in military fashion. "Quite right," said his father, with a grim smile. "I'm very glad you did. Now, I'll tell you what to do. Take Nellie with you and go and help your mother to make bandages for our wounded men, and mind you don't say a word about this to her or anyone else till I give you leave." Away went the two children, still rather puzzled, but feeling sure that "it would all come right somehow," for they both had unbounded confidence in Harry's father, whom they secretly believed to be the greatest soldier alive. It was drawing toward evening when the colonel came back, pale and weary, and with a broad bandage across his forehead, but looking very well satisfied for all that. "You've saved us all, my little sentinels!" cried he, laying one broad, brown hand on Harry's shoulder and stroking little Nellie's golden curls with the other. "These Hindu rascals were trying to dig a mine under the fort and blow us all up together, but we've stopped their little game for once, and I don't think they'll have time to try it again." He was right, for on the very next day the enemy broke up their camp and retreated, and they had hardly disappeared on one side when the bayonets of ten.

RATTLER WAS GRATEFUL. Col. Tutt, a Truthful Texan, Tells of the Reward of His Kind-Hearted Brother Jim. "I've heard a good many snake stories since I've been up in these parts," said Col. S. Houston Tutt, of Corsicana, Tex., who is in New York representing oil interests, to a Sun representative, "and I've seen a lot printed, but never a one have I struck that equaled in simple and touching beauty the thing that happened to my brother Jim down on our farm in Texas. This is the way it happened: "You see Jim was about the kindest-hearted chap that ever lived. One day he was going along out on the farm when he seen a six-foot rattlesnake pinned down on the ground by a big RATTLING FOR THE POLICE bowder that had fallen on its tail. Nowofcourse 99 men of 100 would have got a club or a handful of rocks and killed the poor critter right there. But that wasn't Jim. No, sir! Jim gets out his handkerchief and wipes his eyes and then rolls that bowder off'n that snake's tail just as gently as he knew how. "Well, sir, that settled it. Talk of gratitude? You ought to see the gratitude of that rattler. He couldn't make enough of Jim. Followed him from one end of the farm to the other jest like a dog. Used to coil up under Jim's chair at meals and eat out of his hand. Every night when Jim went to bed the snake crawled up on the foot of the bed and slept there till morning. You bet they wasn't anybody going to disturb Jim. "One night Jim woke up feeling kind of queer. He reached down at the foot of the bed. No snake. Up he hopped and struck a match. No snake. Not on the bed, nowhere in the room. Well, sir, that minute Jim knew something was wrong. He slipped into his trousers, took his gun and went downstairs. What do you suppose he saw when he got down in the dining-room? Window wide open. Snake coiled around a burglar on the floor, and his tail out of the window rattling for the police." WITNESS WAS EXCUSED. But Not Until He Had Driven the Plaintiff's Lawyer Almost to the Point of Distraction. Witnesses, who despite all badgering refuse to come to the point and give a direct answer, are sometimes the means of driving a lawyer to distraction. A case of this kind occurred in a Kentucky court. A horse had been hired from a livery stable and died soon after being returned, whereupon the owner sued the driver for damages. The question turned largely upon the defendant as a hard rider, and the first witness called was a long, lank stable boy. "How does the defendant usually ride?" he was asked. "Astraddle, sir," came the answer. "No, no," said the lawyer, "I mean does he usually walk or trot or gallop?" "Well," responded the witness. "I WEREN'T THERE." apparently searching in the depths of his memory for facts, "when he rides a walkin' horse he walks; when he rides a trottin' horse he trots; an' when he rides a gallopin' horse he gallops; when—" "Hold on!" shouted the cross-examiner, nigrily, "I want to know at what pace the defendant usually goes—fast or slow?" "Well" calmly came from the witness, "when his company rides fast he rides fast, an' when his company rides slow he rides slow." The lawyer was by this time furious. "Now, I want to know, sir," he said, with a threatening frown, "how the defendant rides when he is alone?" "Well," answered the witness, slowly and more meditatively than ever, "when he was alone I weren't there, so I don't know." The attorney had no more questions and the witness was excused from giving any further testimony. Foll Tax in Mississippi.

MARTH tells your entire life past, present and future in a DEAD TRANSE, has the power of any two Mediums you ever met. In tests she tells your mother's full name before marriage, the names of all your family their ages and description, the name and business of your present husband the name of your next if you are to have one, the name of the young man who new calls on you, the name of your future husband, and the day, month and year of your marriage, how many children you have or will have; whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you will sweetheart she will tell you when you will be and its name, business and date of accession. All your future will be told in an easy and plain manner and in a dead trance. Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts or intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all, do not let silly religious seruples prevent your consulting. Madame is the only one in the world who can tell you the SOLID at your future nuance, and the date of marriage, and teens whether the one you love is true or false. There are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from consulting a Medium, but such beliefs are contrary to the truth. It is only from the lack of discrimination that such a conclusion can be reached. It is not every one who placards himself or herself as a medium that can stand a test of what he or she claims. And a person of an enquiring mind may ask the reason way. It is simply it these advisers do not take the able to study human nature. They do not spend their thoughts for a moment with acquiring the art of phaseology and kindred branches that will have a tendency to make the pathway to the road of the business clear and devoid of all obstacles. It is an undeniable fact that persons will come for advice in full knowledge of what they want to know, and yet as soon as they confront a Medium they try their utmost endeavor to dispel from their mind what they know so as to hear if it will be rehearsed by the Medium. To get the secret out or a secret is the art used by many unprincipled mediums, to take hold or the head and gain control of the mind thereby is a matter of impossibility to most of them. And yet this can be done and by consulting Mrs. Marth the seeming mystery becomes a realization. This subject has received no little attention by eminent men and even college professors. So it proceed conclusively that although there are infringers in our midst with oily tongues perhaps the gates of wisdom have not been closed to the entire profession. It takes a great deal of study to become an accomplished medium and by a continuous and untiring effort, the key to the well of apparently unfathomable mysteries has been secured by MRS.

NEW PLANET Last Depredation of the "Great Bear Man" of Texas. Monster Carried Its Victim to a Foul-Smelling Cave and Struck Her with a Club-Killed by Cow-boys After a Fight. A young lady out in Marble Falls, Tex., was carried off by a "bear man" and returned home unhurt to tell the tale. The Kickapoo Indians of this region have long believed in a great "bear man" who rules all the bears of the mountains. Miss Ramie Arland, the heroine of this thrilling adventure, believes her encounter was with the chief bear himself. Ramie Arland is a pretty girl and the acknowledged belle of Marble Falls. She has always been a skeptic as to the existence of the "bear man." The remarkable story she tells has, however, gone far to convince the most skeptical. The "bear man" in this case ventured almost to the back door of the Arlands, says the San Francisco Chronicle. Ramie went out recently early one evening to gather her flock of sheep, which were grazing near by. This was a common occurrence and her absence was not noticed by the family until her mother heard her daughter scream wildly a short distance from the house. She rushed to the door. The screams were repeated, but this time accompanied by the scream of a panther. The mother seized a gun and rushed into the woods, but could find no trace of her daughter. She returned to the house and, collecting a hunting party, searched the woods all night. No trace of the missing girl could be found. It was not until the next day that a hunter, wandering in the woods several miles from Marble Falls, found Ramie Arland aimlessly walking about. He helped her home, where she quickly recovered from her experience. "I was walking along a narrow trail," she says, in telling her story, IN THE HANDS OF THE MONSTER. "when a large black bear suddenly appeared in front of me. He quickly turned to run away, when a curious-looking animal, running on four feet, sprang out of the chaparral into the trail. I saw at a glance that the monster in some way resembled a human being, and it flashed across my mind that I was confronted by the 'bear king' of the Kickapoos. It threw one of its long arms about my neck, glared into my eyes and uttered a horrible sound. I expected to be torn to fragments. The creature seized me and ran toward the mountains. "It reached its cave at last and then left me lying on the ground. I tried to escape at once, but the creature struck me repeatedly on the head when I did so. I gave myself up for lost. Finally, however, he lay down to sleep. I waited fully an hour before attempting to steal away." When the settlers and cowboys heard this strange story they at once set out in the direction of the Moon mountains for the purpose of destroying the monster. It ground its teeth together, and, while pounding its breast, it would roar and scream like a panther. It was now so apparent to the hunters that the thing was at least human in shape that they hesitated to fire upon it. While they were deliberating it suddenly bounded with rage straight toward the astounded hunters. They were compelled to kill it in self-defense. Uncle Sam's Conscience Fund. The total amount of the conscience fund in the United States treasury was $299,947 at the close of business on April 10. The account was opened in 1811, the first contribution being one dollar, sent by a man from New York state. From London came the largest contribution—$14,250. Some one in the presbytery of St. Paul transmitted through the American consul general to Washington his amount. There was no reason assigned for the pricking of consciences. Remittances are received almost weekly, and as a rule the letters are not signed. Sometimes they are signed by clergymen at the request of pupils. FAX CENTER Fifteen bushels of flaxseed from Argentina, South America, were sown an experiment in North America last year, and the result was so satisfactory that 6,000 bushels will be sown this year on about 12,000 acres of land. This fax is larger, plumper and is said to contain several per cent more of oil than the native flax. The seed used in Argentina came originally from Russia. Mushroom Trade of Paris. Paris has 60 wholesale firms which deal in mushrooms exclusively. Kiming Queen Victoria Kissing Queen Victoria. Apropos of presentations is an anecdote illustrating the queen's tact and kindness. An American debutante, who was both young and pretty, in making her court curtsey committed the error of kissing the queen. Instantly realizing her blunder, the poor girl nearly fainted, and hurried home in a most distressed state of mind. Next day the American minister was asked by her parents to present her apologies through the proper channels. Simultaneously there reached the legation a note for our minister from her majesty's secretary stating that, comprehending the young American's embarrassment, Victoria sent her an invitation to a state dinner. Needless to say that this kindness not only silenced adverse criticism but gave our fair countrywoman an open sesame to the London season—Anglo-American. FORTUNE AND HUSBAND. Both Were Won by a Poor Dressmaker Who Went to Dawson to Improve Her Condition. A few days ago Mrs. Joseph Beck, of Dawson City, N. W.T., started home from San Francisco to see her husband. Incidentally there is a story connected with the trip. In the fall of 1897 Mrs. Beck was a widow named Nowell. She had been left in poor circumstances by the death of her husband a few years before, and had taken up dressmaking for a living. Her son Walter had gone to Alaska with the first rush, and late in 1897 Mrs. Nowell decided that she might do better at Dawson than where competition was so sharp. Friends told her to go; that with her intelligence and business capacity she need not fear failure. But when Mrs. Nowell reached Dawson she learned that a good book HAD TAKEN UP DRESSMAKING keeper was needed by Joseph Beck rather worse than the women needed hats and gowns. She took the place, and paid such attention to the miner's affairs that he discovered all at once that she would be a most acceptable partner. Mrs. Nowell thought so, too, and they were married in 1898. Luck came with the bride. The Old Dominion mine which Beck owned was sold for an enormous price. Claim No.11, on Gold Run, which is still owned by Beck, has not been touched, but he has refused $90,000 for its prospects. He is regarded as one of the richest men in Dawson to-day. Mrs. Beck's trip to California was for the purchase of 7,000 acres of land near Red Bluff, to which she and her husband will retire within two years. A palatial house is going up on this property, and the farm is being stocked with blooded cattle. As mementoes of mining days she wears a $2,000 string of nuggets formed into a necklace. There are more than 1,000,000 square feet of glass surface in England exclusively devoted to the cultivation and production of tomatoes for market purposes. Where He Drew the Line. He was a hungry cabby with a healthy appetite, and he made it a point never to be too particular about his food. He took a seat in a coffee-shop one day and ordered a large plate of "taters and sausages." He had about half finished the meal when he espied a piece of wood protruding from the remains of his sausage. "Hi, wait!" he cried. "Look a-here! I don't mind eating the dawg, but I ain't a going to eat the kennel, that's strice!"—Tit-Bits. His Apology. Elder Spudkins, who keeps a store at Quohosh, was sent as temporary supply to a pulpit in the village of Podunk, four miles away. He was late at the morning service, and apologized thus: “Brethren, I hope you will pardon my tardiness this morning, but the fact is I was kept up late last night opening the finest stock of dry goods ever brought to Quohosh. We will sing the one hundred and third hyun.”—Harlem Life. **Becoming Very Proficient.** “Harry is improving in his art work, don't you think?” she asked with maternal pride. “I think he draws remarkably well.” “Draws well!” ejaculated the old gentleman. “Improving! Well rather. When he first began his art studies he used to draw for $25 or $50 occasionally, and now he never thinks of drawing for less than $500 and he keeps me busy honoring the drafts.”—Chicago Post. Consolation. Mr. Fondap—Ask the doctor to come to my house immediately. My wife doesn't quite like the baby's looks. Norah—He's out, sure; but don't yez worry—the homeliest baby sometimes grow up quite good-looking—Brooklyn Life.

But scarecly had Easter Sunday afforded an oop- ```markdown ``` OF ZEPHYR BILK IN PARMA MAUVE. tunity for displaying these new spring costumes when the whole display in the stores were changed, and we now have summer. Thers is the customary early rush for materials and novelties that marks the beginning of preparations for each new season, and when it is over the fashionable women will be provided, and the woman whose purse is not so well supplied with money will have something to copy in less expensive materials and trimming, and if she is a bright woman she will get something quite as charming in its way, even if not quite so fine, as her more fortunate sister has secured at many times the price. In this display of new summer materials are fancy crepes, wool poplins, grenadines and the very thin zephyr silks. All of these make delicate, soft shimmering dresses, and appear in plain surfaces, or delicately embroidered effects, all in self colors. Lace insertions, lace medallions and lace flouces, both narrow and the medium wide, are being used on summer costumes in white, ecu or black. Etons and blouse effects with long basque ends will be much worn if one can judge by the store displays in which they predominate. They are made with balloon or paquin sleeves. Of the pretty summer models there is an elaborate crepe gown in a light shade of gray, trimmed with old ivory tinted lace. The skirt is corded all the way around, and in shallow scallops down the front, with wee gold buttons. Reverlike points are turned back at the foot to display a petticoat of plisse chiffon. The bodice is in large box plats from a yoke of velvet, trimmed with lace applique. The plats are 10 A TAILOR GOWN OF WOOL POPLIN. drawn in at the waist line to form a shirred gathered effect girdle. Paquin sleeves with lace cuffs and puffing of white chiffon. Another of the pleasing summer gowns is of zephyr silk in a tone of parma mauve trimmed with broad insertions. The skirt is made with several tiny tucks directly down the front, and a shaped flounce having the tucks at the hem, and headed with lace insertion. The bodice is in wee tucks, with bands of insertion on each side. A vest of silver tissue which shimmers out softly through a veiling of finer lace, thus making an effective background for a little cravat of black velvet.

Of the summer tailor gowns a smart one is of wool poplin in a delicate mauve. It has a gracefully hanging skirt with a deep embroidered band or black velvet and gold, this extending from the hem in front to half way up the back. It has a bolero jacket, with standing collar and paquin sleeves. The bolero and sleeves are bordered with narrow bands of the embroidered trimming. A very wide pointed belt and the puff of the same embroidery. HERE are a few little points about summer fancies that were given to me by a dressmaking friend in New York. They are worth considering: "Tell your readers to have a boloer jacket made for summer wear," she said. "They are sure to be worn all through the summer season, for that is the verdict of Paris. They will be worn quite short, descending but two or three inches below the arms and forming a straight line round the figure, or far longer—that is to say reaching almost to the waistline—but still allowing the waistband to be visible at the back between them and the skirt. They are made long in front and frequently pointed, and are shown less often accompanied by chemisette than waistcoats, which have close-fitting fronts. Many of such waistcoats are fashioned in white cloth or flannel in which an allover design is stamped out; they are lined with colored silk forming a transparent, and are very pretty. "Tell them also to use velvet ribbon and lots of it. They can scarcely get too much. Black velvet ribbon, it graduated widths is one of the very ap proved modes of decoration for trans parent flowered materials, and later on floncuces will be so employed in the 1900 A LIGHT GRAY CREPE GOWN. composition of the skirts that an effect as bouffante and extensive as that lent by the old-fashioned hoop will be given these fragile costumes. "Above all else tell them to be careful of the accessories. It is a season of accessories, and never before did the little things play so important a part in our fashionable wardrobes. One of these accessories that are necessary is the fan. The short sleeves to our gowns make them so. The same sleeves make the long glove, the long mitt necessary. In fans, the hand-painted affair or a daintily decorated Japanese one are to be the favorites. "But there are other accessories equally important. Among these are fancy jeweled pins for the throat, as well as the many artistic pieces of neckwear with jeweled clasps to hold the velvet ties, jeweled ends for ribbon ties to match the belt with similarly jeweled ends—all of these are interesting and attractive articles, especially suited to the designs of the gowns of the coming season. "Applications of lace, like ribbons, can hardly be overdone. They are one of the most fashionable methods of decoration in a season devoted to elaborate decoration. Lace applications may be bad in a countless number of designs, but a new lace trimming consists in square applications of that fabric. They form a sort of frame as the interior is absent. They are sold ready woven in that shape and cover a space of about six inches, the frame itself being from two to $2\frac{1}{2}$ inches broad, both edges of which are scalloped. These are appliqued on skirts a little above the hem, or as panels at the sides, in which case they are graduated in size. The square space left in the center is crossed by two or three bands of narrow ribbon fastened in the center by a small bow or gold buckle." Latest Advertising Scheme.

The man at whose funeral they were assembled hadn't drawn a sober breath during the last 15 years of his life, and had been noted for being always in trouble with his neighbors.

The Capture of Aguinaldo—Many Filipinos Surrendered. CASILLEJOS, P. I., April 5, '01. The peace movement is progressing satisfactory. The much wanted and note aguinaldo, who has so long sued needed in eluding the Americans, was captured March 28th by General Funston and landed safely at Manila, being confined at Malacanan. The first knowledge the public had of the affair was on March 28th in the afternoon when the Manila papers all issued extras. the public was very doubtful owing to the fact that so many stories of like character have been published alike the following morning issues confirmed their reports by printing the entire affair, which read like a bood and thunder Jessie James and Carl Greene ten sts novel whore as follows: Last January there fell into General Funston's hands, an Insurgent Messenger, with dispatches from Aguinaldo to his chiefs in the South telling them where to join him in the mountains of Isabella Province. General Funston immediately decided upon a daring plan to capture the wily Insurgent. Acting accordingly he proceeded to Manila and laid his plans before General Morrthur, who consented, and on March 26th the gunboat Vickersburg left Manila, on an unknown and mysterious mission. She carried General Frederick Funston. Captain Newton, 34th Infantry, U. S. V.; Lieutenant Mitchell, side to General Funston, and Captain aide Lieutenant Hazzard, 11th Cavalry, U. S. V., 78 native scouts, composed of loyal Tagalogs. Ilocos, Visayas, and Macau-bes, a former Insurgent lieutenant and guides. General Funston's plans were most daring and required only men of steel nerves to put them into execution. The **B.-I-Insurgent" jieu:** took command of the expedition upon landing, and the native scouts disguised as Insurgent soldiers, even being armed with auser rides and ammunition supplied from the mainland, and just enough American haversacks and canteens, to resemble a bedd ragged lot of Filipino soldiery. Having istid, the five Americans became meek prisoners and the expedition along the rough mountain trail and covered through forests and along dangerous gaps toward the capital of the republic, clining Filipino republic. The leutenants had already sent couriers ahead, telling Aggle, that he was coming with five American prisoners whom he had captured from a small detachment. On the sixth day they arrived at the camp and before entering the scouts loaded their pieces, the company then matched in and Agie's body guard, 40 strong turned out to meet them and exchange compliments, the lieutenant reported and made some comment on their American prisoner, (American prisoners) and exercised himself, returning to his company he commanded who commenced firing. The scouts fired their volleys and Agie's boasted body guards fled in all directions leaving two killed and eighteen wound ed. The five prisoners suddenly secured arms from some unknown place and managed. Agie was seized, as his half of Kof Col Vills, a Major in the face of the face he bumped into the river and was either drained or escaped. Several Lieutenants followed the same course, but little attention was paid them as they had the man wanted. Agie was fierce and fled terrible over the deception practiced on him, but in vain and when attention was called to his high self imposed ranks, he called down. The capture included twenty rifles. The party returned and reembarked on the Vicksburg arriving in Manila on the 28th. Nothing but praise was bestowed on General Funston and his men. Many of the Filipinos shook their heads when told of the capture, saying "Twas impossible to capture him" but the majority are very glad. Aggie is not allowed to see newspaper responders and consequently no one knows his sentiment as yet. Lieutenant General Tuscaloosa is rendered to the 4th Infantry as short time ago, has been in conference with him, but nothing can be learned of its nature. In this expedition was when the loyal Filipino showed his loyalty. Among the scouts were representatives of all the tribes. When the expedition marched into the first insurgent town, the President came down and abused the prisoners. Lt. Mitchell was suffering from neuralgia and had his face bound up. The guard informed the President that he was a bad man and that his face was bound up because he) the guard had struck him, (the Lt.) with the butt of his rifle, this is only one of the several instances where the scouts played their part of the ruse. Lieutenant General Trias, one of the most important men of the Insurrection, surrendered to Col. Baldwin, 4th Infantry at San Francisco de Malabon, the first of last month with 119 rifles. General Geronimo, whose forces Gen Lawton engaged, when he was killed, surrendered to Col. Thompson, 42nd Infantry at San Mateo, near where General Lawton fell, with 40 rifles. On last Saturday Lieut. Dean, 6th Gorley while out scouring with a small force was surrounded and engaged by Col. Gonzales, with a force of surgements estimated to be about 200, the fight was severe, two men managed to get through the lines for reinforcements, upon whose approach the Insurgent Col. Gonzales retired. The following afternoon (Sunday) he surrendered at Malabon with fifty rifles. It is said a messenger from Geronimo caused the latter action. Rifles are being surrendered in large and small numbers daily all over the archipelago, being citizens of the Previeza are out on a mission of peace to Gen Aral, whom it is reported, desired to surrender.

BEFORE. AFTER. TRADE-MARK. Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowledge 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 fortune circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale any extent until 1875, when it was out 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 member 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 to out and doing great damage to the hair. In many of the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with colorant that more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you more or your less.
