THE RICHMOND PLANET XVIII NO 25 LYNCHED FOR STEALING. HORRIBLE CRIME IN CALIFORNIA. The Country Astounded. WHITE MEN THE VIC TIMS. An Entire Family Wiped Out BIRBER, CAL., May 81. — Details have been reserved here of the lynching of five men at Lookout, Modoc County, early this morning. The lynchied were Calvin Hall, seventy-two years of age, his three half breed sons, Frank, James and Martin, aged respectively twenty-six, nineteen, and sixteen, and B. D. Yantis, aged twenty-seven. As reported here, the men lynched had been suspected of petty stealing for some time. Last Saturday they were arrested for stealing barwire, pieces of harness and some hayforks. A search warrant was issued and the harness and forks found in the houses of Hall and Yantis, who were taken into custody and brought to Lookout, where they were being held awaiting examination and trial. Sunday and for several days following other search es were instituted, and their dishes and table linen and hat were taken from clothes lines were found hidden the premises of the suspected parties. The charge against the elder Hall was petty larceny for stealing the forks, hence he was allowed to go about on his own recognition. His trial was to have taken place this morning. PRISONERS CONFINED IN A HOSPITAL. The charge against the other was burglary, and their examinations had been set for June 8d. They were held in custody, as they were unable to furnish ball in the sum of $300. Fending their examination they were being guarded in the Lookout Hotel by Constable Carpenter, assisted by K. Nichols, J. W. Brown and S. Goyette. The two former stood guard till midnight and the two latter took their places after midnight. Calvin Hall was sleeping at the hotel so as to be near his son. This morning about 2 o'clock a.m. variously estimated at from thirty to fifty people, suddenly made their appearance at the hotel, and at the two officers on guard commanded them to observe silence, while they secured the five prisoners, placed ropes around their necks, and dragged them toward the bridge which crosses Pitt River. They compelled the two guards to accompany them. Frank Hall, it is reported, made such strong resistance that the mob hanged him before it got to the main bridge, under a small bridge crossing a deep slough. The others were taken to the main bridge and Calvin Hall, the father, was hanged on the north and Yantis and the other Hall boys were hanged on the south side of the bridge. As soon as the lynching was discovered, wosd was trailed to the district attorney and sheriff at Alturas, and they, together with the coroner, are now on their way to the scene of the tragedy to hold an inquest.

Philip Winston, pastor of the Good Hopewell Baptist church of Henriess county, Va., who departed this life Sunday, May 26 took place from the above named church, Tuesday, May 28th: Long before services multitudes were gathered both at the home of the deceased and at the church and by the time of the arrival of the funeral procession the church was packed, even the windows were crowded. The community was deeply moved at the death of this good woman, whose amiable disposition, winsome and sociable manners had attracted them so favorably with her true greatness, for her services as a loyal church worker can not be estimated. Her many sterling qualities, her indomitable will power as an ideal mother and model wife was so plainly demonstrated not only in the home and community, but also in the life and character of her husband, for truly she was the power behind the throne as to her husband's success in his church work. The beautiful cloth-covered casket was entirely covered with lovely flowers, tokens of loving and devoted fr endship, was borne by the ministers of the Baptist Ministers and Deacon's Conference, who had passed resolutions of sympathy and resolved to attend the funeral in a body, and as a further token of the high regard and esteem for Rev. Winston and his family a pretty floral cross was presented. Rev. W. F. Graham, D. D. officiated and preached an able and soul-stirring sermon. He, at will, bathed the church in tears and then rearing their minds to the exalted heights of heaven, entranced in the eustasis of the glorious vision. He was assisted by Revs. Holland Powell, D. D. , E. Tartt, W. L. Weatherly, M. H. Paine, S. H. Holmes, M. Burton, E. Jeffress, A. Cook, and M. B. Hudies, who read the resolutions of condolence coming from the conference, the church and the family, etc. The remains were borne to the semetary at Ham's Hall in the midst of throngs of her life-long friend J. The floral offerings were so numerous that the graves was totally covered with flowers. She leaves a husband and one daughter to mourn their loss. For pure mediciens, toilet supplies, etc., call on Mr. Thomas W. Leonard. He will do all he promises. Every- body knows him. WAS AVENGED AT THE STAKE A COLORED MAN'S AW- FUL PUNISHMENT. HE PAID THE PENALTY FOR HIS BRUTAL DEED. White Woman Attacked and Murdered at Bartow by Fred Roselle—He Braided Fosse and Bloodhounds, but was Caught by Men of His own Race And Turned Over to Sheriff—Crowd Quickly Gathered and Lynched the Prisoner at the Scene of His Crime. Burrow, Fla. . May 20th .—Fred Rochelle, colored, thirty-five years of age, who at noon yesterday assaulted and murdered Mrs. Rena Taggart, a well-known and respectable white woman of this city was burned at the stake here, this evening in the presence of a throng of people. The burning was on the scene of the 'colored man's crime, within one hundred yards of the principal thoroughfare. The man's crime was one of the bold eat ever committed in Florida. At 10 o'clock yesterday 'morning Mrs. Taggart went fishing in a small rowboat that she kept at the city bridge over Placo Creek. A few minutes be fore noon Mrs. Taggart, desiring to return home, rowed her boat to the bridge and made it fast. A colored man was fishing from the bridge at the time. Mrs. Taggart started home, and had proceeded only a few steps toward the open p x iie and thence to the street when she was approached by Rochelle, who had been hiding in the swamp. He seized her and the broke looses and, screaming, ran from the swamp into the prairie, where he overtook her and overpowered her. After the assault he cut her throat, causing instant death. [PLIGHT AND PRESUIT. Roselle walked up to the colored man who had been fishing on the bridge, and who was thoroughly frightened, and asked him what he should do with the body. He was told to leave it where it was, but, unheefful of this request, he carried it back to the swamp, threw it down, and fled. In a few minutes the crime had been reported, and in less than an hour practically the entire city was in arms and a well-armed posse was moving in every direction in search of the criminal. Bloodbounds were secured and all night the search was continued. This morning no trace of the man had been secured, and the people were becoming more desperate in their determination to apprehend him, as the chances for his final escape seemed to grow. About noon a courier arrived announcing that the man had been captured by two other colored men three miles south of the city. Possess were immediately on the trail, but the captures evaded detection and succeeded in getting their prisoner quickly into the city and in turning him over to the sheriff of Polk county. Ten minutes after the transfer had been made the streets became congested with people, and the crowd augmented as it moved on the jail. In spite of the sheriff and a strong guard of extra deputies, who made every effort to protect him from mob violence. The crowd secured the prisoner and took up the march to the scene of the crime. He was half-dragged, half-carried to the bridge, enveloped by a great throng of people of all ages, who were resolute and determined, but quiet and orderly. By common consent burning was to be the penalty. THE TORCH APPLIED. The stake was the only suggestion as to the proper expiation of the crime, and without organized effort, and yet with apparently unanimous understanding, a barrel was in readiness, and was placed by the stake on the very spot where Mrs. Taggart was murdered. On this the colored man was placed and chained to the stake. Louder and more desperate grew his pleading for mercy, but in the crowd around him silence was the only response. There were no jeers, no swearing, no disorder. Before the chains around his body had been made fast, cans of kerosene oil from many sources were passed to the center, and one of the leaders stepped to the body and slowly, but deliberately, poured it upon him and his clothes until the clothes and barrel were well saturated. It was near 6 o'clock. The crowd was growing. Business in the city had practically been suspended and all eyes were turned toward the scene. In all instant the match was applied. As if by explosion the blaze quickly leaped skyward. The burning body could be seen only as a dark object in a circle of rearing flame. Then the fire lessened in volume and the writhing body came back in full view, but the groans had ceased and the only evidence of life was in the contortions of the muscles of the limbs. For fifteen minutes more the body burned and in a half hour from the time of the application of the match only the charred bones were left as a reminder of the man's crime and fate. The crowd dispersed as orderly as it had gathered, and at 8:30 to-night the city is quiet. MR. DUNBAR IN RICHMOND He Recites to an Appreciative Audience Composed of Both Races.

Dr. W. F. Grasham and Pres., Rev. Dr. [R. H. Bowling and Prof. G. W. Hayes, he was being paid his money little faster than he was able to invest it again. At one time the colored Baptists owed him $12,000. He was in good humor and it seems that he has unlimited confidence in the financial ability of his own people. Lessons in Music.

ECHOES FROM THE SIXTEENTH ECHOES FROM THE SIXTEENTH Annual Session of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, K. of P. On the afternoon of May 20th, 1901, the special coach attached to the C. & O east-bound train which left Richmond at 8:40 o'clock was filled with gallant knights and ladies of the Courts of Calanthe of N. A., S. A., E., A., A. and A., who were enroute to the beautiful, but quiet city of Portsmouth. Va., to attend the 16th Annual Session of of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, Knights of Pythias and Grand Court, I. O. of Calanthe. Portsmouth seemingly assumed her holiday attire and there could be seen floating from the verandas and cornices of many a residence the K. of P. colors and the stars and stripes. The hospitable people of Portsmouth, both those who were members of the organization and those who were not, all seemed to greet the delegation with outstretched arms and welcomed them to the city on the E. Isabella River. The Grand Lodge of Virginia was called to order at 9:30 o'clock sharp by Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., and the usual appointments to fill vacancies were made. The devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. J. H. Bries of Brownsburg, Va., and our minds were at once backed back to the parting scenes at Lynnburg, just 12 months ago. At the appointment of the Committee on Credentials the usual friendly greetings were indulged in by the Grand Representatives from various portions of the state. Many were the inquiries for missing ones and many explanations were given. When the Committee on Credentials were ready to report, the Grand Lodge was again called to order and the report was heard, representatives seated and preparation begun for conferring the Fifth or Heraldia Rank with the new paraphernalia. It was indeed interesting and will serve as an impetus to have every member of the organization distinguish himself in some way that he may be found among the fortunate, who may have an opportunity to be thus handled next May. As is the custom, the Grand Lodge adjourned for the parade after having heard expressions as to the conditions of the various lodges through their representatives. They were indeed worth mention when the representatives told of the success of their lodges during the year and a happy feeling seemed to fill the air. The impression made by the military portion of the organization, a report of which was published in last week's PLANET will be indefinite and both white and colored congratulated the men on their excellent showing as well as numerical strength. 1st Regiment: E. A. Washington commanding, Captain Andrew J. Smith Junior, Adjutant; Captain Willis Wyatt, Quartermaster; Captain Henry Stokes, Signal Officer; Planet Co., Richmond, Va., Captain Thomas M. Crump, commanding; J. A. Smith, 1st Lieutenant; Adolphus Jackson, 2nd Lieutenant. Eureka Company, Richmond, Va., Captain Rishard Nelson, commanding: David Allen, 1st Lieutenant; Jessie Randall, 2nd Lieut. Col. Casper Rowlett, aid de camp on Major General's staff accompanied the Brigadier General. A grand banquet was tendered the Grand Lodge as night and the banquet hall was thronged with pretty girls and gallant knights dressed in evening attire. Sweet strains of music enlivened the occasion and many tripped the light fantastic toe while others resorted to innocent amusements. Wednesday was a busy day and at 9:30 sharp the Grand Lodge of Virginia was called to order by the Grand Chancellor, who is in indeed a model gavel wi ldex. The reports of the several committees were heard and adopted. The reports of the Grand Officers were among the most important in the committee's reports and were received with great applause. The organization has had a most prosperous era and one of which every member of the organization should feel proud. The membership has increased by 1244 and finance beyond the most sanguine expectation. The 16th Annual Session is now a bit of history and all returned to their several homes much gratified over the results of last year's work with a determination to do even better during the coming months. The painting of James was quite sad and a hearty hand-shake was indulged in while that old familiar hymn, "A charge to keep I have," at the suggestion of Captain Willis Wyatt of Richmond, Va., was sung. The officers for the ensuing term are: Editor John Mitchell, Jr., Grand Chancellor; Rev. H. H. Mitchell, D. D. Grand Vice-chancellor; Rev. J. H. Brice, Grand Pelate; Lawyer Wm. M.

RICHMOND, VA., June 4, 1901. Editor of the Richmond PLANET: Last Sunday closed the ninth year of our beloved pastor, Rev. W. F. Graham, D. D., as shepherd of the Fifth Street Baptist Church. The following report, which was voted to be submitted to the PLANET for publication, will show that wonderful success has attended his labors during these nine years. We recognize in him an able, business-like, Christian leader and pray that he may be spared to us many years to come. The church is now in a most progressive state, being in the midst of a great revival in which there have been converted 321 souls and still the meetings go on. During these nine years there have been received into the membership of the church 799 persons, amount of money collected $30,993 89, making an average of $4443.78 a year. This does not include menneys collected by the Sunday-school and B. Y. P. U. There was a reunion service in the afternoon of last Sunday in which the members met and spoke freely of the healthy condition of the church and the bright outlook for the future. Happy and warm speeches were made by Deacons Wm. Chiles, James Page, Samuel Brown, E. T. Coleman — Woodson and Tress., Jefferson Miles. It was a most inspiring meeting and we go forth to another year's work full of inspiration, looking forward to the 4th Sunday in this month when the pastor will have about 200 candidates to baptize. Rev. R. H. Bowling, D. D., of Norfolk, will preach the baptismal sermon at 11 o'clock; charge to the new members at 8 o'clock by Rev. W. H. Stokes, B. D., and special sermon to the church at 8 o'clock P. M., by Rev. D. W. Davis, A. M. Respectfully yours, JAMES H. CHILES, Church-clerk. PRICE 5 CENTS EDITOR JOHN MITCHELL ON THE SOLID SOUTH. (Ocleveland, O., Gazette.) The argument made by Mr. John itchell, Jr., editor of the Richmond, (Va.). PLANET, touching the causes and consequences of the "Solid South," is able and conclusive and affords new life upon the question in hand. An Afro-American and representative of the race he adduces strong and convincing points revealing the true animus of the southern mind. These factors which he offers, have shown the spirit and intent of those people to make themselves presently a distinctive class. Nothing has been so apparent in all our history as that the south believed themselves ordained to rule. Mr. Mitchell antedates the right of suffrage to the Afro-American and proves a determined rivalry on the part of those states south of "Mason and Dixon's line" to antagonize any measure or proposition from the north regardless of its beneficial results to the country. In almost every instance the points or reasons given as cause of the solidity of the south are pertinent and appropriate. But unless the entire north will compromise its convictions and opinions to the south and subordinates its ideas, principles and practices in commerce, religion and education, we do not believe that the perfect harmony and peace so much in contention shall ever prevail. The great north is the controlling power head of this government. Every vital interest of the nation is involved in the action and dealings of the northern people and can never succumb to southern rule. The very life and resources of the government emanate from the thrift, the push, the power and genius of the northern mind. In population, wealth, enterprise and mental force the north leads and reigns, while the south lags in the wake of her masterly achievements. Unquestionably then the south cannot wag the body, of this powerful government. It must content itself to be led and share in the fostering blessings of a "magnanimous" government. The weaker forces cannot hope to direct and dominate the more powerful elements of the nation. Like Mr. Mitchell, we do not believe that the elimination of Afro-American voters from politics would break up of the "Solid South," nor do we believe that any action on its part of the president or congress in affording compensation for every slave once owned, would remove the cause of the trouble or allow the friction between the two sections. Nothing but growth, education, development, renovation, time and progress will break the "Solid South" and bring it to knowledge of itself and a sense of its obligations to the cause of the nation, of liberty, humanity and justice. Instead of eliminating the Negro from politics, instead of rewarding the south for her slaves as a means of peace, the harmony between the sections, the south must eliminate its animosity, its barbarianism, its spirit of caste, the vile incidents of human slavery and apply her energies for the restrictions of Christian intelligence, charity and love as embodied in the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. A Brilliant Marriage. Mount Olivet Baptist Church, 25th and 8 Sts. presented a lovely scene on Wednesday night. May 29 h when Mrs Nora Nelson became the bride of Mr. Willie Brooks. Under the beautiful floral arch made by Mr. W. E. Patterson, the Church Hill florist, the ceremony was performed in a most pleasing manner by Rev. J. Andrew Browler, the pastor. Many white friends of the contrasting party were in attendance. The ushers and maids were Mr. Robert Mayo, best man; Mr. Bobdie Christian, Mr. Hamlet Robinson and Mr. Isaiah Carter; Miss Ella Polhard and Miss Carrie Walker. Fifth Anniversary The Fifth Baptist Church, Sidney- will celebrate the Fifth anniversary o its pastor, Rev. Holland Powell, D. D., on next Sunday, June 9th. The pastor will preach at 11:30 a.m. Rev. W. F. Graham, D. D. at 8:30 p.m. and Rev. Wm. Troy at 8:30 p.m. A rich treat is in store for all. On Wednesday night following there will be a re-union of the church and friends. To all of these meetings the public is most earnestly requested to attend. Rev. D. P. Chamberlnyne, B. Dr. desires to express his thanks to his friends and members of the Fifth St. Baptist Church for their many tokens of respect, and regrets that he is unable to thank each one personally. The young divine is located at Kilmarnock Lancaster Co., Va. We predict for him a successful career and pray God's blessings both on him and his work. POTTER—Departed this life on May 27, 1901, at his residence on Warwick avenue, Chesterfield Co., Va. Mr. Emmanuel Potter in the 66th year of his age. He leaves a wife and daughter to mourn their loss. ——Mr. Garrison White is home for Hot Springs, Va. AN HUMBLE HERO BY THOMAS P. MONTFORT RIGHT CIRCLE BY THOMAS P. MONTFORT Furner knew that Melyvin was not going to Beckett's Mill. He was as well assured of that fact as he would have been had Melyvin told him so. He knew, on the contrary, that he was going to HI Jenkins' place. Why he was going he did not know further than that he knew the new stranger had something to do with it. The important information possessed by a little coterie at Beckett's Mill concerning Melyvin had not reached Jonathan Turner. In fact, and for a wonder, it had not spread beyond the few persons to whom Sam Morgan had related it that night at Hicks' store. The reason it had not spread, and the only reason doubtless, was attributable to Hicks. With an eye single to business he had seen a likely chance to turn a few honest dollars only if they would all keep quiet and patiently await the development of events. Taking the others fully into his confidence, he had said. "If that feller's done somethin dretful for which he has to hide out from the law—which, of course, he has, or he wouldn't 'a' said so—why, it stans so reason that'll be a reward out for aim, if it ain't out already. Now, most ginerly when a reward is offered that a-way circulars are sent out to all the postoffice round whar the feller is likely to go, givin the amount of the reward, the feller's name an description an tellin whar he's wanted an what he's wanted for." "Jest so," Pap Sampson had agreed. "I've seed them papers a-stickin up in the postoffice here lots of times." "Now," Hicks resumed, "my plan is for us all jest to lay low an keep our mouths set, not sayin a word of this to nary a livin soil, an wait to see if one of them circulars don't come along here putty soon 'bout Mr. Melvin. Then when the circular does come well we'll nab Mr. Man an rake in that reward." They all saw the wisdom of Hick's plan and readily agreed to it, and for awhile they kept sacredly to their agreement. The temptation to talk was great, it must be admitted, but that reward was a greater temptation yet. So it had come about that Turner was still ignorant of everything concerning Melvin and in forming his opinions was acting altogether on mere surmises. He had never changed from his first formed opinion that there was something back of Melvin that was not exactly right, but he had never succeeded in getting beyond that point. He readily conceived the idea that here was a connecting link somewhere between Melvin and Waite, but what that link was he could not tell. He had no idea whether the link was one of friendship or enmity, but he was inclined to the belief that it was the former. In fact, he labored under the impression that the two young men had been associated together in the commission of a crime or were leagued together for the purpose of committing some crime at a later date. He did not place their crime or contemplated crime beyond robbery, however, but he fixed it at robbery on a large scale. When Melvin rode away from the house that night, Turner believed he had gone to meet and confer with Waite, but he was partially mistaken. Melvin had gone to Jenkins' place, and it was on account of Waite that he had gone, but if his surmises were correct Waite was one of the last men in the world he would care to meet or with whom he would seek a conference. As Melvin had told Mrs. Banks, he had taken the life of a human being. In the heat of a quarrel he had shot down and instantly killed a young man named Marchand. He justified himself for the act on the ground that he had acted in self defense, and in a way his claim was true. Just at the time of the killing it was merely a question of who could fire first, and if Melvin had not killed he would have been killed. But, on the other hand, Melvin was responsible for the misunderstanding, for Marchand was seeking to avenge the honor of his sister, whom Melvin had betrayed. While Melvin might justify his act, he knew public opinion n. : the courts would justify it, so he fled from the scene to escape arrest. Having met Louisa Banks and learned to love her while she was a girl at school, his first thought when he began his flight was to go where he could be near her. That she had married mattered little to him, except to the extent that it removed her out of his way, for he had no very high regard for marriage nor a very strongly developed sense of honor. His plan was to induce her to elope with him if possible, and, though she had refused to marry him when she was free to do so, he had no doubt of his ability to influence her now since it had become known to him that she had learned to regret the step she had taken when she had declined him for Sim Banks. If she would elope with him, they would go to some out of the world place out west and there lose themselves to every one who had ever known them, as well as to the law. In all his planning Melvin did not lose sight of the fact that the man he had killed had a younger brother living and that the brother was a determined, desperate character who was not likely to wait for the slow process of law to right his wrongs. From the first Melvin had feared Robert Marchand more than he feared the law, and day and night he had been haunted with a dread that that man would hunt him out and kill him. He had covered his flight well, he knew, but he was also aware of the tireless energy and set determination of young Marchand, and this, added to the nx- fety a criminal always experiences, kept him in a continual state of uneasiness. His purpose in going to Jenkins' was to discover, if he could, without making his own presence known, whether the man giving his name as Waite had stopped there and whether or not it was Robert Marchand. The way he had planned to do this was very simple and at the same time comparatively safe to himself. He proposed to tie his horse somewhere in the woods near Jenkins' house, then creep cautiously forward under the cover of the fences and shrubbery until he reached a position commanding a view of the house and its surroundings. He was well aware that it was a universal ensom among the people of Possum Ridge to sit out in their front yards after supper on hot summer evenings, and he felt assured that he would find Jenkins and Waite so sitting if the latter was there. In this way he could satisfy himself as to whether Waite was the man he feigned, then steal softly away again. And if that man should prove to be Robert Marchand there was but one thing for Melvin to do, and that was to flee from the section. He had that all planned out too. He would return to Turner's for his things, claiming he had received a letter calling him back home, and he would go that night. There would be no waiting for the morrow, not an hour's delay, if Robert Marchand was there. However, he was saved all the trouble of putting his plans into execution, for as he passed along the road a mile from his destination a voice hailed him from the woods, and, looking around, he saw old HI Jenkins sitting on a log. "My Lord, young feller." Jenkins said, "but I'm pow ful glad to see you shore. I been settin here for two mortal hours, an I got to thinkin thar won't nobody never goin to come along." "Why have you been sitting there all that time?" Melvin asked. "Cause I couldn't do nothin else. Reckon I was dold it for fun?" "Why can't you do anything else?" "Cause I can't git a lose from this dad burned log, an I don't big enough to walk off with it." "Are you fast to the log?" "Waal, sorter, I guess. Leastwise I been kinder under that impression the last two hours." Melvin rode over near the old man. "How did you happen to get fast to the log?" he asked. "Why, I was fixin to split it up for rails," Jenkins replied, "an I'd drove a wedge in, startin a right smart crack in one eend. Feelin sort of tired, I 'lowed set down on the log to rest, an like a durned fool I set right on that crack. I'd been settin thar a little bit when the fust thing I knew that mis-able sneakin wedge flew out, an the crack closed up, a-ketchin the seat of my pants an a-holdin me thar so fast an tight that I couldn't move." Melvin laughed. The situation was so ludicrous that he couldn't help it. He would have laughed if Jenkins had been dying. There was nothing funny in the situation to old Hi, however, and when Melvia laughed it made him angry. "Reckon you think it's durned smart to stand thar that a-way an laugh like a blame fool at a poor, helpless, suffer-in feller critter, but I bet if I was out of this I'd make you laugh out of t'other side of your mouth." "I can't help laughing." Melvin replied. "The idea of a man getting into such a, pleick as that! It's the most ridiculous thing I ever knew." "Waul, you'd soon hear of something a doggone sight wuss ridiculous," Jenkins said. "if I was lest loose from here Henry Picard. "I can't help laughing." Melvin replied, for 'bout a minute. And, sad burn your oney hide, isn't you goin to do nothin but stan' that an act a fool a-laughin at me? Ain't you goin to help me out? "Couldn't you get loose in any way?" "You reckon if I could I'd'a set here all this time waitin for some durned idiot to come along an help me?" "Did you try to get loose?" "Did I try to get loose? Geemenetty! Did I try? Lord. what senseless questions a blamed fool can ask! Reckon if you'd'a seen me tryin to tear my pants off an a-wigglin round here till I most wore myself out a-tryin to git out of 'em you'd'a had some notion I tried to git loose. Did I try? Lord, sich a question!" "But you couldn't make it, eh?" Old Hi looked up, his face a perfect picture of disgust. With keen and biting sarcasm he answered: "Oh, to be sure I could 'a got loose, but it was so nice settlin here that I 'lowed it'd jest stay an enjoy myself! I reckoned sooner or later some idiot asylum'd come along an star' round here an ask a million fool questions, an I knowed it'd be more fun 'an you could shake a stick at to jest set here an answer 'em. But, say, air you almin to help me or not?" Melvin had thought of the time when he had met Hi Jenkins and sought a little aid from him and of the treatment he had received, and it had occurred to him that now would be a good time to retaliate. So with cool nonchalance he replied: "It makes no difference to me whether you get loose or not." Jenkins looked surprised, but after a moment he said: "It don't, eh?" "Certainly it doesn't. I didn't put you in there, did I?" "Course you didn't." "Then I guess I am not responsible for you being there, am I?" "No. But what of that?" "Nothing, only if I am not the cause of your being there I can't see that you have any reason to expect me to help you ouk" "Aln't you got a grain of accommodation 'bout you, not nary a little speck?" "Oh, I attend to my own business." Jenkins was silent and thoughtful for a little while. Then he said, almost humbly: "Look here, young feller, I know what you're a-dryin at. You're a-thinkin of that time you can across me over thar in the woods, an you're a-layin out to git even with me for the way I done you that day. But it hain't fair, for then I was a-settin thar waitin for my chill to come on, an nobody ain't gain to stan to be pestered under them circumstances. Hain't one man out of a thousand that wouldn't 'a done you wuss' I did. You ain't got no excuse for cuttin up no capers with me, 'cause you ain't no ager workin on you, so you ort to help me out." "Well, I guess I will this time, since you put it that way. But how shall I proceed? Shall I cut you loose?" "An spike my pants? Great Sam Smith! Not much you won't." Smith. Not much you won't. "How, then?" "Why, jest maul that wedge in that till you open up the crack enough to let me loose. Lord, looks like you'd have sense enough to know that much without bein told." Melvin took up the wedge and stuck it in the end of the log. Then he took the maul and began to pound it with all his might. Slowly with each blow the crack opened until finally the old man found himself released from his humiliating and wearisome imprisonment. The moment he was free he rose to his feet and started toward home without speaking one word to Melvin or even so much as grunting a "Thank you." Melvin looked after him a moment in astonishment, then called to him, saying: "Where are you going, Mr. Jenkins?" The old man glanced back in surprise as he answered: "Why, home, of course. Whar else you reckon I'd be a gain?" "Well—but—you seem to be in a great hurry, don't you?" "Not special, Why?" "Oh, I thought you must be by your walking off that way without a word." "I ain't got nothin that I know of to stay here to talk about. Have you?" "Nothing in particular, I guess. I presume you think your family are uneasy about you and you want to get home to relieve their anxiety?" "Reckon nobody ain't much uneasy 'bout me." "Don't you suppose your folks are searching for you?" "Not any to hurt. Hain't no folks but the old woman, an she ain't likely to strike out an trapse round huntin after me." "Why?" "'Cause she 'lows I'm able to take keer of myself, an she figgers that I'll turn up somewhat some time all right. Then she ain't able to bother after me nohow." A. thought occurred to Melvin. "Perhaps that Mr. Waite may come out to look for you," he said. "I believe he is stopping at your house?" "Hain't no Mr. Waite stoppin at my house," old Si replied. "That so?" "I wouldn't 'a' said it if it wa'n't so." "Mr. Turner said a man of that name came over here today to secure board with you." "Waal, he did come." "And didn't stop?" "He ain't stopped yit." "Is he going to stop?" "Said he was." "When?" "Putty soon." "This week?" "Mebby--this week or next." "Where is he now?" "Went on down the country some-whar. Goin to stop when he gits back." Melvin drew a sigh of relief and, remounting his horse, rode back to Turner's. He decided that there was no immediate need for him to take his departure from the Ridge, so he would remain on a few more days. It would have been better, far better, however, for both himself and others if he had gone then. CHAPTER XIV THE SECRET OUT It is difficult for two people to keep a secret, much less a half dozen. When Pap Sampson advised the men at Hicks' store that night that it would be best for no one to mention to Sim Banks a word about the meeting between Melvin and Louisa, they all agreed with him, and each of them promised not only the others, but himself as well, that he'd abide by that advice, and every man there kept that promise most sacredly. Yet, for all that, the information they were guarding from Sim reached him in the course of time, as they might have foreseen that it would. Sam Morgan in an unguarded moment told his wife all about it, but was careful to caution her to mention it to no one. She carried the secret safely in her bosom for a day or two; then, finding it too much of a burden to any longer bear alone, concluded to share it with her very nearest and dearest friend, Mrs. Mann, not forgetting to caution her against breathing a word of it to another living soul. 1.

She so thoroughly despised Louisa, for the simple reason that Sim loved her, that she was only too anxious to avail herself of such a propitious opportunity to injure her. Then Sim, the cruel wretch, had coolly scorned her love and humiliated her thereby in a manner that would be galling to the heart of any woman, and she was not sorry that it had fallen in her way to be able to make him wince, for once in his life, under the sting of the cruelest knowledge that ever falls to man. She did not stop to consider what might be the result of her act. Meddlers never do. The after consequences of gossip are something with which they are not concerned and of which they take no thought. It was so, in this instance at least, with Mary Mann. It never once occurred to her to what serious lengths the act might lead, but it is doubtful whether she would have been able to control her tongue even if she had known. It was only after an impatient delay of two or three days that she secured an opportunity of speaking with Sim. Then she proceeded to pour into his ears the whole story as Sam Morgan had told it at the store. Sim listened quietly until she had finished, after which he calmly said: "That is all you have to say, is it?" "All!" she exclaimed wonderingly. "My land, ain't it enough?" "Is that all?" he repeated, with quiet firmness. "It is," she replied. "Now do you want to hear what I have to say?" he asked. Her heart gave a little joyful bound, and a thrill of pleasure ran through her. Sim spoke so quietly, so calmly, that she was sure he was not hurt by what she had told him, and in the space of half a minute she had reasoned it out that it failed to hurt him because he no longer cared for his wife and took no interest in anything she did. She felt assured that what he had to say would prove to be a renunciation of Louisa, and certainly nothing he could say would be more acceptable to her, except it were a declaration of love for herself. So softly and demurely she replied: "If you care to tell me." "Then listen," he said. "Every word you have told me is a lie, a willful lie!" Mrs. Mann staggered back as from the effects of a heavy blow. Sim's words, spoken so quietly, so positively, so unexpectedly, completely disconcerted her. In one breath they had dashed all her newly formed hopes and opened her eyes to the fact that the one great desire of her soul would never be realized. Sick at heart and pale with disappointment, she stared at Sim for a full minute in painful silence.

We all to PRO CHEMICAL 662 WEST S her, and the paleness of disappointment on her face slowly gave way to the flush of anger. If she could love with a passion that but few women know, she could hate equally well. Fixing her eyes on Sim, with such an expression of deadly hatred as he had never seen in any human eyes before, she said: "Sim Banks, you are a fool, a poor, pitiful, mis'able fool, an I despise you with my whole heart and soul. I despise you wus'n I despise the meanstake that ever drew the breath of life or crawled in the dust. I hate you! I hate you!" Ordinarily Sim would have been astonished at this sudden and vehement outburst, but at that moment he was not in a state of mind to be astonished at anything. With a wan, weary smile, he said: "That's a different tune, M mis'us Mann, to what you sing that night up that when you told 'hout lovin me up." "What if it is?" she snapped violously. "Oh, nothin. It don't make no difference to me what kind of tune you sing, nary a particle on earth. I'd jest as lief you'd sing this kind as the other, an I don't know if I wouldn't liefer. But seems like you've changed a heap." "Spose I have? Is it any sign 'cause a body's a fool once they're goin to allus be a fool? An I was a fool then, Sim Banks, a plum downright idiot fool. If I hadn't 'a been, I'd never 'a thought that I loved the likes of such a misable thing as you. Lord, you make me plumb slick with your fool clingin to Louesey's skirts when she's doin her very best to kick you off. Youn't got as much sense nor as much backbone as a fishworm." A flash of anger sweent over Sim. "Mary Mann," he said, with some spirit, "what I do is my own business, as long as I don't step on your curs you ain't got no cause to squeal. No matter what I do nor what Loneesy does, it ain't takin no hide off of your back, as I kin see, so I reckon you mought list as well save your breath for some other purpose." "Humph! I reckon you mean to say that it ain't none of my business." "I do, Mis'us Mann; I mean jest that exactly." "Waal, mebby it ain't my business; but, for all that, Sim Banks, I'm bound to say that you're a fool an that ever-body knows you are." "Waal, if I am it's the Lord's doin's. He made me that a-way, an I can't help it. If you got any quarrel to make about it, you better go on to him." "You're sigh a sot an determined fool." Mrs. Mann said, ignoring Sim's last remarks, "that you wouldn't believe a thing 'ag' in Louesey if you see it with your own eyes. Them words I told you are the truth, the plumb gos- rols of the body; cures hot, swollen, tired ble odor caused by prepiration of the var- ness and pure.

"I say it's a lie!" Mrs. Mann was silent for a little while, but hers was not the silence of the vanquished. She was only pre- B. "I don't believe nary a word of it, Mis'us Mann." paring to deal a harder blow. As she stood with her eyes fixed on Sim she marveled at the change that had come over her. She thought of how dearly she had once loved that man and of how thoroughly she now despised him, of how once she had longed to make him happy and of how now she delighted in making him suffer. Of a truth "hell has no fury like that of a woman scorned." Truer words were never uttered, nor ever was there a woman to whom they more perfectly applied than they did to Mary Mann. Calmly, far more calmly, than she felt, she said: "I reckon you know Sam Morgan, Sim?" Sim glanced up in surprise. "Me know Sam Morgan!" he exclaimed. "Land, what a question to ask! Ain't I knowed? Sam Morgan from the day he was born?" "An, known him that a-way, I want to ask if you ever knew him to tell a lie?" "I never did. Sam Morgan ain't no liar, no matter what else you can say 'bout him." "Then if he was to tell you anything you'd b'live it?" Sim began to suspect to what Mrs. Mann's questions were leading, and a sensation of fear came over him. However, after a little hesitation he answered. "Yes. If Sam Morgan was to tell me anything for a Bible truth, I'd b'lieve him." "Even if it was them words I spoke to you 'bout Louesey an that Mr. Melvin?" Sim's face blanched to a deadly whiteness, and a dreadful trembling selzed him. If Sam Morgan said those things, he couldn't doubt them, and in spite of himself, in spite of all his earnest desires, he would have to believe all Mary Mann had told him. It was hard, however, to relinquish the last vestige of the fond faith he had in his wife, and, beaten back to the last ditch, he made a final stand in her defense. "Sam Morgan won't say no sich words!" he cried in tones half pleading, half defiant. "Sam Morgan won't never do it!" "He will," Mrs. Mann persisted, with unrelenting cruelty. "He has said 'em already, an he'll say 'em ag'in." "I don't believe it. Sam won't lie." "Sam won't lie, but he'll say them words." "How do you know he will?" "Cause he has already said 'em, an he won't never take back his words. It was him that seen the meetin between Louesey an Melvin, an it was him that heard them two talkin love. If you wasn't a fool, Sim Banks, a plumb, senseless idiot, you'd know from what you've seen an heard that Louesey loves that man. My Lord, everbody else knows it an has known it for weeks!" Sim shook his head. "I don't b'lieve it, I don't b'lieve it," he repeated. "Loucey wouldn't never do no sich a thing." "No, you wouldn't b'lieve it, I guess, if she was to tell you so herself." "She ain't never a-goin to tell me so." "I guess not. She'd be a fool if she did. What she'll do will be to deny it. A wife ain't likely to stand' an tell some man she loves him, then go an tell her husband all 'bout it." "She never told that man that, an you'll never make me b'lieve she did." "Waal, you ask Sam Morgan. That's all I got to say. You jest ask him." "I will, an I don't b'lieve he'll say it's so." "He will say it's so, ever' word of it." "If he does, may God have mercy on me!" AG PLANET They Do a Thriving Business in Our Large Cities. Disdoblored Optics Repaired 'While the Customer Waits — Strange Profession That Calls for Much Skill and Discretion. "The men who fail in literature and art become critics," said the late Lord Beaconsfield in one of his splendid moods. There is truth in the saying, especially where literary men are concerned; but men who fail in art can sometimes find a more lucrative profession than that of criticising the works of their former brethren of the brush, says a Philadelphia paper. There are at least two men in Philadelphia—both of whom at one time hoped to gain recognition as artists—who earn a very fair living by restoring black eyes and bruised faces to their natural color. Both men have studios and do more or less cheap boiling for the picture dealers, but their principal source of income is derived from professional boxers and from men who have been beaten in some chance barroom scrap. Their clients or patients are a sorry-looking lot when they assemble in the early morning to have their bruised and battered faces restored to something like a natural appearance. The fast young man who has heard the chimes of midnight is there awaiting his turn along with a tough from a waterside ward. An ordinary black eye, such as the fast young man carries, away with him from his latest barroom scrap, is easily managed, but the bruised and battered face of an earnest "professional" after a well-constricted set-to requires very delicate manipulation. The artist who restores black eyes to their natural color sets his palette very much as a portrait painter would do when expecting a sitter. But there is a wide difference between the human skin and a prepared canvas, and a strong drying oil is usually mixed with the colors intended to restore a black eye or recover a bruised cheek. When the artificial flesh stints are Supreme THE BLACK EYE BRIGADE. (On Their Own) Reactions Restored at Short Nose. THE BLACK ETE BRIGADE. (On Their Way to Have Their Optics Restored at Short Notice.) nearly dry they are lightly powdered with dry color. This deadens the gloss of the drying oil and gives a natural, flesh-like appearance to the restored face. Indeed, it would be impossible for anyone who was not in the secret to detect the imposture, so cleverly is the work done. One dollar is the fee charged for restoring a black eye, and, as the work rarely occupies more than half an hour, the payment certainly compares very favorably with that received by a successful artist whose pictures find a place on the walls of the Academy or at the Art club's exhibitions. In the case of a badly battered face several sittings may be required before the patient is again able to face his friends and society at large, and then the artist in black eyes reaps a golden harvest. A very popular "Kid," who was knocked out at a sparring exhibition in New York, went to Philadelphia for the express purpose of having his face restored to something like a natural appearance, which was a compliment to the art and artists of the Quaker city that seems to have passed unnoticed. For the complete restoration of this gentleman slugger the fortunate artist received the unusual fee of $25. But the "Kid" was desperately in love with a pretty chorus girl at the time and thought nothing of the expense. "It's a curious trade, sure enough," said the most successful of the two Philadelphia restorers of black eyes, "but I have learned to like the work, irrespective of the money return it makes me. It enables one to study human nature, for one thing, and it is full of curious surprises for another. "Once a lady in full evening dress came to me with a badly blacked eye, and the marks of a man's fingers still distinctly showing on her bare throat. She was in a highly nervous condition, and could scarcely control her voice or keep back the tears when she tried to talk to me. She spoke vaguely of 'an accident on the stairs,' but, of course, there was some brute of a man back of it all. I have had many another patient of the same sex, but never one so attractive and so mysterious. As a rule, they are unmistakably fast, and obtain their black eyes in some drunken quarrel with another woman of the same class. But my beautiful patient in evening dress was an unmistakable lady, as I have said, and I have always fancied that her visit to me was after the first act of a domestic tragedy which is not yet finished."

I'd like to go from the city's din To the distant old farm places; I'd like to look for a moment in Of the gentle, fair home faces; I'd like to look at the lakes With their restless marrying singers Have spoiled the calm of the rustic ways In the bit of home that lingers. I'd know the way from the little town, Past the hillsides and the valleys, To the tiny house in the pasture brown, Where the homesick toller rallies. I'd know each step of the paths that wind Through the ordchards, green and golden, And reverently my way I'd find To the doorstep, gray and olden. And then, and then—as I waited there, As the thin door opened slowly— O heart of mine, could I hope to share In a sweet and holy? O blessed heart, that other stands With a welcome true as ever! O mother love, that still understands, Though the world rememberes never! —Frank Walcott Hutt, in Farm Journal. She has a disposition sweet, She's labors like a Turk. She keeps a 'a-lookin' neat, An 'n' isn't afraid to wear. But something happens now 'an' then That riles her 't' the core. An 'n' one can allers it when My Mandy slams the door. She'll bustle around about the house A-hummin' some old song. As meek an 'ouat' asleep. But then I never blame my wife; I've noticed that the sex Have saddled on them all through life little things that vex. An I've saddled Mandy take things good At while I'd Mandy take things good But put me down a "sawin" wood! When Mandy slams the door! Albany Times-Union. When to Criticise When your heart is warm with love Even for your enemies; When your words come from above, Not from where the venom is; When you see the man entire, Not alone unless he has, Find a somewhat to admire Underneath the paltry mass— Not till then, if you are wise, Will you dare to criticise. When you see the thing that's wrong, And a way to better it— Push a noble cause along. Not with censure fetter it; Your purpose is to build, Not to tear the building down, Use the sunshine that will glu- Not the dark and dismal from— Not till then, if you are wise, Will you dare to criticise. -Amos R. Wells, in Christian Endeavor World. To Nature. Thou art a friend that ever blides with me, Steadfast as sun to day or moon to night, Or as the stars which shed revealing light O'er dusky meadow and mysterious sea. Many wise lessons have I learnt of thee; The winds have been my teachers, and the rivers, The snows of winter, and the vernal showers, And white clouds sailing tranquilly. Above my head across heaven's radiant face. O joy to know the ministering servants To Nature In my behoeh on tireless steps of love! Heart-discord now to calm has given place. I would be true to thee, my heart to thine— The feebly human to the Strong-Divine. -William Cowan, in Chambers' Journal. Those Terrible Little Things Look not with dark contempt upon The little things, for they Knew plain men's Affairs from day to day! A little piece of fuse, slack!

Ten: Capetown, Africa, FP: OATCH mistresses a grievous condition existing there, which indicates that the black men's condition is as bad in Africa as it is in America. When colored people deny to persons of respectability the right to free speech, either in secular or religious meetings, they cannot consistently complain of the ill treatment to which they have been subjected by the Negro-hating element in this country. We not let us forget that. We called attention to the fact that the Cuban Constitutional Convention had adopted the PLATT Amendment with a string to it" President McKinley has decided to be of the same opinion and the Convention has been justified that it must try again or the American troops will remain on the island. It is evidently the intention of the government to establish a Transvaal adjacent to American territory. ENGLAND's experience will be our experience and the bloody scenes in the Philippines will be duplicated in Curta. LURNED HIM The use of the stake as a method of punishment is one of the astounding acts of the century. That our forefathers anticipated such a return to barbarism is plainly indicated by the specific provision in the Federal constitution that cruel and unusual punishments shall not be inflicted. The crime of the victim forms no part in the controversy and cannot be leached in palliation of the offense. FRED. ROCHELLE (colored) was charged with having criminally assaulted Mrs. RENA FAGGART (white) May 28, 1901, at BARLOW, FLORIDA. The punishment provided for such a crime is death, but not death at the stake. No one condoned the crime. All sympathized with the victim, for two colored men were his captors andinned him over to the authorities. These officers of the law gave him up to the mob and he was burned at the stake May 29th, 1801, with all of the French barbarity of the MIDDLE Ages. Here then was a practical demonstration of the fact that as depraved as he was, FRED. ROCHELLE was a product of the community in which he lived. His crime was equaled by the crime of his murderers. There is nothing to surpass in atrocity the burning of a human being at a stake. It is an offense outlawed by both God and man. In the practice of such depravity, no injury was done to the ity than to the victim and blind indeed were the murderers who failed to see it. The government looks on with silent approval. It winks at these infractions of its own laws, apparently oblivious of the fact that this same mob spirit will in time work out the government's destruction. It is a fax, as immutable as the laws of the Mdes and Persians. The brutalizing of the citizens at Barlow, Florida, the lessors engrafted upon the mids of the young will result in an upheaval in other directions along side of which the killing of FRED, ROCHELLE will pale into insignificance. But—— on with the work of carnage! On with the gratification of the passions! On with the trampling under foot of sacred traditions! If the country can stand it, the Negro can. For our part, we must insist upon the enforcement of the law. The gallows is the legal means of execution in most of the states and it should not be ignored or cast aside. If we are to go back to the tortures of other days, let us bring forth those of the Spanish I quisition. Let us legalize all of the horrors of the French Revolution and let us proclaim to the world that our civilization has become a failure and announce our return to the evils of barbarianism and the practices of the Devil. Lyneh-law must go! ALABAMA'S EFFORT. THE state of ALBAMA is now in the throes of a constitutional convention called for the avowed purpose of nullifying the 14 h and 15th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Senator JOHN T. MORGAN, in plain violation of his oath of office came forward with a proposition to forbid a citizen of color holding office. Prof BOCKER T. WASHINGTON made a plea for the brother in black and it is now an open question as to whether reason will prevail or passion hold away. For our part, we are not disposed to do aught than protest. There is a huge conspiracy against the colored people in it is country. The United States Supreme Court is a party to it, for by its decisions it is uprooting the basic principles of the government itself. We may be temporarily injured, but it is an evident fact that the white man will yet be permanently disabled. Principles, like God are eternal, and the abuse of them will in time bring its own punishment. The Riebmond, Va DAILY TIMES in its issue of the 5th inst, say:: The Negroes of Alabama are foolish to make threats against the whites of that state, for in so doing they will do their cause much harm and no good. The whites will never be driven into measures by threats from any source, least of all from black men. We agree with the TIMES on this point. We have been of the opinion that threats never pay, especially empty threats. If you intend to knock the side of a man's head off because of his treatment of you, it is always best to go ahead and knock it off and threaten afterwards. White folks don't take jokes from colored folks. They believe all they say, and whether they believe it or not they "make out." they believe it and the colored folks get the worst of the bargain. The TIMES continues: But for all that, the article which recently appeared in a Negro paper in that Sate and which has caused a mile sensation at Montgomery contains some statements which the whites of A.abama and other Southern States may well consider. The article declares that the Negroes demand fair play, and goes on to say that if they are treated right, they will help to make the South bloom and prosper, but if treated wrong they will seek what other country they can to weaken it; that the country can not live in peace and happiness with one law for one class and another for another class. Now the above constitutes all of the threats which are alleged to have created a "mild sensation." In other words it is an admission that this colored journal edited by two of the most able and conservative colored ministers in the country had "made no threats." Here we have white Negro-haters threatening to reduce the Negro to a condition of slavery, disfranchising advising his deportation to Africa, and counselling the massacre of one of the kindiest races on the face of the globe and nothing is said in condemnation of their threats. And yet simply because this journal states the tuth which comes down to us through the path-way of history, its utterances are declared to be incendiary. But the Times is conservative and fair in dealing with this question. It quotes from this colored journal as follows: "The Negroes are not now satisfied, and only submit because they are powerless to help themselves. The Negro submits now, but that submission is by force and with discontent—a carcous sore, which will come to the surface in an eruption in a few years." Is not this the truth,—Yes, the gospel truth? We submit simply because we are powerless to help ourselves, and every self-respecting race similarly situated submits for the same reason. GONZALE, in his island prison as a BORR and his followers at PRETORIA are relatively speaking, submitting because they can not help themselves. But the TIMES concedes the truth of the statement when it says: Leaving the Negro's side of it out of the question, the Southern people cannot riff on their own account to deal wrongly with the black man. We owe it to ourselves to treat him fairly and justly and to give him those rights to which he is entitled under the law. We cannot heir to hang a Negro because he is a Negro; we cannot afford to cheat a Negro at the polls because he is a Negro; we cannot afford to discriminate against him in ap portioning the school fund; we cannot afford to deprive him of any of his constitutional rights simply because he has a black skin How could the Times' editor say that? Can he retain his position after giving voice to such gospel, for it contains more truth in a few lines than has appeared in all of the sermons published in its columns on Sunday morning since the paper was first sent forth for the benefit of the public? This is our position plain and simple. This then is the creed to which we subscribe. It is evident that this editor understands the far-reaching effect upon his readers. He did not refer to former slave-owners for they would subscribe to all that he said. He was evidently unpleasant about the poor white man who never knew the value of a Negro, or enjoyed the love and effect of one, for he continues: "This may seem treasonable to some, but it is good morals, and good sense. Every time we do the Negro wrng, that wrong inevitably reflects upon the white race, and does us more harm than it does him. Which race, pray, has been more injured by cheating the Negro at the polis? The question answers itself." This then is a reiteration of our doctrine. When you rob the Negro, it will lead to the cheating of the white man Retribution follows in the wake of crime. To wrong a fellow is to injure ourselves. "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." This then is the only safe rule of conduct. The TIMES SAYS: "We do not mean to say that all Negroes should be permitted to vote. We think that the wholesale enfranchisement of the ex-slaves of the south was the greatest outrage ever perpetrated upon a people by a civilized government." Of course we do not agree with the Tim's on this point, because it apparently believes in the wholesale enfranchisement of white immigrants from Europe and Asia, who have added nothing to the country's prosperity. The Negro was born here. He gave 250 years of his labor to enrich the south in particular and the country at large in general. He produces even now six hundred million dollars per annum of the county's wealth and is entitled to a voice in its management and control. He has fought in every war in which his country has been engaged and his valor has been exhibited on a hundred battle fields. He is kind and gentle, heroes and brave and to disfranchis him would be a crime. It is true, he has too much of the qualities of the spaniard and too little of the ferocity of the bull-dog, too much of the merkness of the lamb and too little of the boldness of the lion: but as a citizen, he is an all round character; as a soldier, the best in the world. The Times concludes: "We think that even now the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States ought to be repealed. More than that, we think that even in the face of that constitutional provision many Negroes ought to be disfranchised—not because they are Negroes, however, but because they are not fit and qualified to exercise right of suffrage. But we affirm with all emphasis that the southern people more afford to do the Negro a wrong treaty than injustly and unfairly than they can afford to do those of their own race a wrong. Justices is no respecter of persons' faces, and as surely as we wrong the black man in any particular, just so surely will that wrong come back some day, one way or another, to torment and plague us." As to the repeal of the 15th Amendment, our previous remarks are virtually a reply to the suggestion. Suffice it to say that the Finesse conclusions demonstrate its return to high ground and we join with it to say that "as surely as we (whites) wrong the black man in any particular, just so surely will that wrong come back some day, one way or another, to torment and plague us." Thanks be to God. Let us honor and praise Him for this! Selah. A Minister Expelled. Des Moines, Ia., June 5.—George D. Herron, former professor of applied Christianity in Iowa college at Grinnell, is no longer a Congregationalist. He was tried by a council of ministers and elders of the church, representing eight organizations, sitting at Grinnell yesterday, on the charge of "conduct unbecoming a Christian and a gentleman." Evidence was introduced to show cruel treatment of his "unusually loyal and devoted wife," which finally resulted in divorce proceedings and legal separation. The council unanimously voted to expel him. Boyish Bravado Results Fatally Boyish Bravado Results Fatally. Cumberland. Md., June 5.—Luke Mallon, aged 16 years, residing along the south branch of the Potomac, met death in a manner that was novel. In company with others he was trying to conquer a vicious ram that was grazing on a mountain field. In a spirit of bravado he offered to lay a wager that he could ride the naimal. He mounted the ram's back and the animal bounded down a steep mountainside. When near its base the ram collided with a tree with great force, and the rider was so badly injured that he died. THE RICHMOND PLANET RICHMOND VIRGINIA CHINESE INDEMNITIES CHINESE INDEMNITIES Now Receiving the Earnest Attention of the Powers. THE AMOUNT DEFINITELY FIXED. All the Powers Agree That Chinese Must Pay $337,000,000, and the Negotiations Now Pending Are As to How This Vast Sum Shall Be Paid. Washington, June 5.—The plan of a modus vivendi on the subject of the Chinese indemnities is now receiving the earnest attention of those interested in the Chinese negotiations, the purpose being to prevent this indemnity question from causing any interruption in the concert of the powers and at the same time to remove the indemnity issue itself so that progress can be made on the remaining subjects of negotiation, chief of which is the conclusion of permanent treaties between China and the several powers. The question over the indemnity arose during the president's western trip, but since the return of the president and Secretary Hay it has been taken up anew and thoroughly gone over with the foreign representatives chiefly concerned, including the British, Russian and French ambassadors and the Japanese minister. It is because of the importance attached to these negotiations that several of the ambassadors who had intended to leave for Europe have now deferred their departure for a month. As a result of the exchanges of the last few days the question has resolved itself to about the following basis: There is no further issue as to the total of indemnity, that being agreed upon by all the powers at $33,700,000. But there remains the question of how this amount shall be paid. The Russian suggestion, which appears to have the approval of a majority of the powers, is that China issue bonds for the full amount, and that all the powers then unite in giving a joint endorsement, or guaranty, of the payment of them. The desire has been not only to secure the assent of a majority of the powers to this scheme, but the unanimous approval of all of them. This, however, has not been accomplished up to the present time, and it is for this reason that the modus vivendi is now being considered as a possible means of bringing about united action. The British government is not favorable to the Russian proposition, and the British view has taken form in a plan to have China issue her own bonds to the several governments, each government thereafter adopting its own course as to an individual guarantee. The policy of the United States concerning the Russian proposition was made known in part during the president's western trip, although the final course of this government is still considered open and is the cause for the extended conferences between the ambassadors and Secretary Hax. The chief difficulty which the United States finds as to a joint guarantee, is that the constitution does not authorize the executive to guarantee bonds in the absence of the approval of congress. As to the attitude of congress it has been stated during the negotiations that it is very doubtful whether the legislative branch would approve a joint guarantee of such a vast total of bonds. Moreover, the American view has been that 4 per cent bonds, as contemplated by Russia, would not be a prudent investment for the United States, since the United States readily sells bonds at $2\frac{1}{2} per cent, whereas Russian 4 per cent securities sell at 98 cents on the dollar. When Lis indemnity issue is settled it is believed that fully 80 per cent of the Chinese negotiations will be disposed of. The next question will be permanent treaties with China, and on this point it is expected that each of the powers will suggest certain bases of a treaty and that these ultimately will take form in a common form of treaty action. Burglars' Fatal Break For Liberty Toronto, June 5.—Routledge, Rice and Jones, three men extradited from Chicago on the charge of burglary, were being transferred in a cab from the court to jail last night when a friend threw revolvers into the cab. The robbers shot Policeman Boyd dead and jumped from the cab, and then boarded a street car, which they attempted to seize. The motorman struck Routledge over the man with a motor bar, fatally injuring him, and the other two men were captured after both had been wounded. Jones will lose an arm if he recovers. Mrs. McKinley's Condition. Washington, June 5.—Dr. Rixley was at the White House an hour and a half last evening, and on leaving at 10:30 said: "There has been no important change in Mrs. McKinley's condition. She is resting very comfortably. Of course there are fluctuations in her condition; at times she is better and at times worse, but she is certainly not losing any ground. In fact, she is possibly gaining very slowly. There is no more immediate danger now than there has been for some time." The Blaine-Hichborn Wedding Washington, June 5.—Miss Martha Hichborn, daughter of Rear Admiral Hichborn and a reigning belle in Washington society, was married to James G. Blaine, youngest son of the late Maine statesman, yesterday at the residence of her parents. After a breakfast Mr. and Mrs. Blaine left for New York. They will sail tomorrow for Europe, to be gone three months. THE PHILIPPINES GOVERNMENT Civil Authorities Will Assume Control on July 1. Washington, June 5.—About the first of next month full civil government will be set up in the Philippines islands, exactly as projected by the Philippine commission. As soon after that date as an administrative machinery can be made ready for it the new Philippine tariff will be proclaimed, also following out the announcement of the decisions of the supreme court last week. The civil government to be set up is to be established under the military government, and will be a civil government exercised through the military power of the president. The collector at San Francisco will continue collecting Dingley duties on imports from the Philippines, as the cabinet has assured itself that the practice is legal, or at any rate that they are not bound to declare otherwise in the absence of a controlling decision by the highest judicial authority. It would not be feasible to notify Judge Taft by mail of his appointment as the first civil governor of the Philippines in time for him to assume office July 1, so this must be done by cable. SEVEN PICNICKERS DROWNED. Party of Young Merrymakers Carried Over a Dam. Philadelphia, June 4.—A rowboat containing a merry party of eight young persons was swept over Flat Rock dam, in the Schuylkill river, last Thursday afternoon, and seven of them, five girls and two boys, were drowned. The victims, all of whom were Philadelphiaians, were: Florence Densmore, 15 years old; Mazie Kenny, 18; Maud Rutter, 19; Mamie Sullivan, 21; Florence Bond, 21; Bertram Osmond, 19; Roy Ricker, 18. The young man saved is John Moore, aged 21 years. The party was composed of members of the Elm Social club, one of the numerous associations in this city organized for the promotion of picnics and other social functions. They were having a Decoration day picnic at Rose Glen, and after dinner started out for a row. Disregarding warnings, they went out into the swift current, and were carried over the dam to the rocks, 12 feet below. The bodilea of three girls and two boys have been recovered. THE CORNELL ATHLETES LEAD In the University Contests at the Stadium in Buffalo. Buffalo, June 5.—In the Stadium at the Pan-American exposition grounds yesterday representatives of 16 of the leading colleges and universities in the east and west participated in the intercollegiate track and field events, which marked the real opening of the Stadium in sports. The 4,000 persons who watched the contests filled only about one-third of the seats in the great amphitheater. The showing in points made by the different colleges and universities are as follows: Cornell, 28; Chicago, 17; Georgetown and Pennsylvania, 9 each; Westminster, 7; Beloit and Minnesota, 6 each; Yale, Princeton, Purdue and New York, 5 each; Amherst. 2. Brodie's Imitator Met Death Brodie's Imitator Met Death. New York, June 5.-Robert Gibbens Bidwell, of Jacksonville, Fla., jumped from the Brooklyn bridge yesterday afternoon and was soon after taken from the river. When the ambulance arrived the surgeon said that the man had been dead probably an hour. The man wore a life preserver, and his body was swathed with towels, which were evidently intended to lessen the impact when he struck the water. A number of newspapers were stuffed between his body and the life preserver. As he jumped he waved two American flags. No Extra Session of Congress Washington, June 5.—The cabinet yesterday unanimously decided that existing conditions do not warrant the calling of an extra session of congress this summer. Secretary Root and Attorney General Knox both rendered legal opinions to the effect that the authority to govern the Philippines vested in the president by the Spooner amendment was ample. These opinions were concurred in by all the members of the cabinet. Wholesale Lynching in California Wholesale Lynching in California. Bleber, Cal., June 1—Details have been received here of the lynching of five men at Lookout, Modoc county, early yesterday morning.

THE FIGHT AT VALKFONTEIN Said to Be One of the Most Desperate Engagements of the War in South Africa—General French to Command in Cape Colony. London, June 5.—Details received regarding the fighting at Valkfontein show that it was one of the most desperate engagements of the war. Gen. Dixon's column was traversing the district and establishing posts, when it was attacked by 1,200 Boers under Commandant Kemp. The Boers were so close that 50 British fell at the first volley. The yeomany held the position, protecting the guns until they were nearly decimated, and then, finding it impossible to save the guns, the artillery-men shot the gun horses to prevent the Boers moving the guns. The column quickly recovered from the shock of the unexpected attack. The Derbyshires charged with bayonets, and after a short, desperate fight drove off the Boers and recovered the guns. The Derbyshires and yeomany both lost very heavily. It is asserted that while the Boers had temporary possession of the guns they shot two artillery rymen in cold blood for refusing to work them against their own comrades. The war office last night published the following dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, June 4: "Jamestown (Cape Colony) surrendered to Kritzinger's command on the morning of June 2 after four hours' fighting. The town guard and local volunteers were overpowered before our pursuing columns could come up. Our casualties were three killed and two wounded. The Boer loss is said to have been greater. The stores were looted, but the garrison was released. Have placed Gen. French in charge of the operations in Cape Colony." The appointment of Gen. French, who has been recruiting his health in Cape Town, to command the operations in Cape Colony, indicates that Lord Kitchener attaches considerable importance to the invasion. The surrender of Jamestown is regarded as a disagreeable incident, because it has provided Commandant Fritzinger with a fresh supply of the sinews of the war. The recrudescence of serious fighting brings further demands for the sanding out of reinforcements. GENERAL SOUTHERN NEWS Covington, Ky., June 1.—Mrs. Kate Hester, aged 32, after a quarrel with her husband, Ottie, aged 42, at the supper table last night, shot and killed him, as well as their 3-year-old daughter, after which she put the revolver to her own head and blew out her brains. It is not known what was the cause of the quarrel. Richmond, Va., June 4.—The Fairmount hotel, at Bristol, was burned yesterday afternoon. The fire resulted from children playing in the attic. The hotel and furniture were totally destroyed, involving a loss of $105,000. All of the occupants of the building escaped. The hotel, a comparatively new one, was built on a high hill especially for summer guests. Memphis, May 31.—The closing feature of the United Confederate reunion was the grand ball given in the spacious Confederate Hall last night. In the grand march one column was led by Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, bearing upon his arm Miss Jeanie Lea, of Vicksburg, Miss. The other column was guided by Gen. Joseph Wheeler, escorting Mrs. Fitzhugh Lee, of Richmond. Columbia, S. C., June 1.—Governor McSweeney yesterday, acting, he said, in accordance with the wishes of the people, who did not wish a primary with its incident strife and unrest, refused to accept the resignations of Senators Tillman and McLaurin. The governor declares that a canvass would result in a campaign of personalities which would stir up the people and result in bitterness. Wheeling, W. Va., June 4.—Two men were killed and about 20 injured, two fatally, in a rear end collision between two sections of a work train yesterday on the Pittsburg, Ohio Valley and Cincinnati railroad, near Powhatan. The dead are Amelia Chan and John Meting, white. Tony Werine and Barney Metzinskid are fatally injured. There were 28 Italians on the first section of the work train when the second section crashed into it. Bennettsville, S. C., June 3.—There are good reasons for believing that just prior to the meeting of congress, in December, Senator McLaurin will resign and request Governor McSweeney to appoint his successor. Should the senator do this he would expect the governor to appoint a strong man representing the same political views of Messrs. Bryan and Tillman, and the senator would meet this gentleman in 1902 on the hustings with the purpose of regaining his place in the senate. Montgomery, June 1.—In the constitutional convention yesterday Sanders, of Limestone, introduced a new scheme of suffrage reform. It provides for an educational qualification, with the Louisiana grandfather clause. It confines office holding to the whites. The most significant ordinance yet introduced was by Gen. Sanford. It authorizes the state to construct works of internal improvements for the transportation of passengers and freight, and provides that only convicts shall be employed in construction. Memphis, May 30.—The principal business at the second day's session of the United Confederate Veterans was the election of a commander-in-chief. Gen. John B. Gordon being unanimously re-elected.

Lee, of the Army of Tennessee, and Lieutenant General Wade Hampton, of the Army of Northern Virginia. Next year's convention will be held at Dallas, Tex. London, Ky., May 30.—The case against Jule Webb, charged with killing Chad Hall, both members of the Garrard-White feud in Clay county, but on opposite sides, was given to the jur 'ast evening.

McLAURIN DENOUNCES TILLMAN Declares Him an Ambitious Boss and Habitual Disturber. Charleston, S. C., May 31.—Senator John L. McLaurin issued an address to the people of the state from his home in Bennettville yesterday in answer to the recent address to the people by Senator Tillman. He says: "The senior senator charges that I am a Republican and was organizing a Republican party here. I denounce the charge as an infamous falsehood, and the senior senator knows what he says is untrue. He charges 'that the dispensing of the public patronage has been placed at my disposal and unlimited money is furnished me' by Republicans to aid in the scheme of the organization of a new party. I denounce this as a malicious falsehood. The senior senator is an ambitious boss and habitual disturber of the political peace and harmony of South Carolina." A WEEK'S NEWS CONDENSED.

Johnson, Cleveland's New Mayor, a Possible President of the United States—Advocates Socialistic Ideas. A presidential boom for Tom Johnson, mayor of Cleveland, has been launched in Indianapolis, Ind. The Single Tax club of that city has indorsed him for the highest place on the democratic ticket. Johnson has been elected mayor of Cleveland by a sweeping majority, and Cleveland is a republican stronghold. He has his eye on the governor's chair at Columbus. If he succeeds in carrying a republican state and can count on the support of Indiana for president, far-seeing politicians say he is more than a presidential possibility. Tom Johnson has long been a picturesque character. As street railway maginate, congressman, single taxer, socialist, politician, philosopher and good fellow he has been one of the nation's unique geniuses for many years He was elected on a platform with a tendency toward socialism, and by his election becomes the most prominent exponent of reform and socialistic ideas in the country Johnson is a robber baron and does not deny it. He is rich beyond the dreams of avarice, and he has made his money out of special privileges granted by the people. Some $8,000; 000 he is reputed to have made by charging high street car fares But he never concealed the fact that he was making millions out of the grants of the people. He frankly admitted it and denounced as wrong the system under which he was becoming rich. He has now disposed of all his street car holdings and invested his fortune in bonds. He will have nothing to do the rest of his life but clip coupons, but he has decided to devote his energies and ability to helping the people. His first step after leaving the street car business was to denounce THOMAS L. JOHNSON. (Mayor of Cleveland and a Democratic Presidential Possibility.) the giving of special privileges in congress. He is now mayor of Cleveland on a platform which provides for three-cent fares and demands compensation for street car franchises. People have called him inconsistent for denouncing now the things which were responsible for the fortune he has made. But the people of Cleveland have not deemed his inconsistency of importance. They say that he is no hypocrite and never was, but is a man who can be depended upon to do as he promises. Johnson's ancestors were among the pioneers of Kentucky. He is the son of the late Col. Albert W. Johnson, who was a wealthy planter in Arkansas before the war. His father threw his fortunes on the side of the south when the war came and sent his wife and three sons to Milleville, Ga. Tom was but ten years old, but at once began to help his mother. He became a newsboy and, as the people were hungry for news, he made money. When the war closed and his father did not have enough money to take his family back to his plantation in Arkansas, Tom came to his rescue with his savings of $88. The boy left home at the age of 14, as there was nothing on the plantation to attract him. He became an office boy in an iron foundry at Louisville at two dollars a week. Soon he was getting seven dollars. Then he got into the street railway business. At 17 he was superintendent of a street railway in Louisville. Three years later he, with his uncle and a man named Shepherd, bought the Indianapolis street railway. They paid $80,000 for it, and they sold it for more than $1,000,000. Johnson took his share of the money and went to Cleveland in search of a new street car investment. He bought a mule line on the West side of the city which never made a cent. He took advantage of a forgotten law which permitted him to use the tracks of another company. He introduced improvements, organized a stock company and became a millionaire. He went to congress and became a single taxer. He has always been honest, although his opinions conflicted with his own interests. The people who know him have absolute confidence in him, and the politicians who oppose him are afraid of him. Pretty New Hampshire Custom. New Hampshire people have a summer celebration called the "Old Home Week," especially designed for rural reunions. The meetings last year were held in 76 different parts of the state, and the plans for this year are on a larger scale than ever. One Thousand Miles from Land, The question has been asked, is it possible to sail 1,000 miles from land? This can be done at several points. By leaving San Francisco, and sailing northwestward into the north Pacific, a spot is reached where there is no land—not even an islet—for 1,000 miles in any direction. So, too, sailing from the southern point of Kamchatka southeastward ships reach a point equally distant from land of any kind, the nearest to the north being the Aleutian islands, and to the south the outlying members of the Sandwich group. In the southern Indian ocean it is possible to sail 1,000 miles out from the southern points of Australia and New Zealand, and still be as far from any other land, and the same may be done in a westerly direction from Cape Horn. Indeed, from this point a much longer distance might be reached, for the southern Pacific, between the Horn and New Zealand, covers a space of 80 degrees of longitude and 40 of latitude of absolutely unbroken sea, making its central point over 1,200 miles from anywhere.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Were There No Coltz? Were There No Celts? Anthropologists are pretty well agreed that there is not, and probably never was, a Celtic variety of man. "There is neither a Celtic type nor a Celtic race," says Deniker, in his recent work, which is the latest word on the subject. There is a language which has come to be called "Celic" by scholars, but a language may be spoken by any race that acquires it, and how or where "Celic" originated is a mystery. There are some millions of people in Brittany and the British isles who still speak this tongue, but they all differ from each other in race, presenting the very extremes of the European peoples, and to call them "Celts" as if they belonged to one race, with the like physical and moral characters, is perniciously misleading and false.—London Globe. Fashions in Diamonds To-day, to the diamond dealer, a stone purchased 20 years ago is in appearance as old-fashioned as a suit of clothes of that period is to the tailor. Instead of being cut oval or cushion-shaped, as diamonds were then, stones to-day are cut round, thus increasing the number of surfaces. It used to be the style to have a large table, as the upper surface of a diamond is called, and to obtain this a stone was cut in the form of a cushion. This style was changed many years ago upon the discovery that by cutting a stone round and increasing the number of bevels its brilliancy was greatly increased—London Empire.

POWERS WILL COMBINE To Smash Great Britain, Predicts Andrew Carnegie. UNCLE SAM TO THE RESCUE. The Millionaire Philanthropist Believes Our English Cousins Will Call on Us For Help, and That It Will Not Be Refused. London, June 5.—"Mark my words," said Andrew Carnegie last night to a press representative, "the time is coming when the continental powers will combine to smash up this little island of Great Britain. When that happens she will have to turn to the United States for help. I feel certain it will not be refused. The United States will step in and say 'Don't.' They will act just as Great Britain did in the Spanish-American war. What she did then was great, and it is not half realized yet." When Mr. Carnegie gave utterance to these sentiments he was in the Langham hotel, London, where he had arrived from Scotland for the Chamber of Commerce gatherings. Until last night he had steadfastly refused to be interviewed. Resuming the topic of Anglo-American relations, Mr. Carnegie said: "I believe in the community of the English speaking races, by which I mean that the Americans and the British are now closer than ever before. Could you get a better instance than the visit of the delegates of the New York Chamber of Commerce to Windsor last Saturday? I suggested it, and King Edward took up the idea thoroughly. It was a fitting commencement of the new reign. "I know how deeply interested King Edward is in the United Seates. I have known this since the time, years ago, when I drove him on a locomotive in the United States, which, by the way, he did not forget when we met under different conditions. "The idea that the visit of our delegates to Windsor can be in any way construed as King Edward's recognition of American commercial superiority is all nonsense. The king is full of tact and of friendship for our country." "Do you think, Mr. Carnegie was asked, 'that British enterprise can be sufficiently stimulated to meet American competition?' "Oh, they can't compete with us," replied Mr. Carnegie, with a smile. "Would you advise the British people to place their faith in combinations?" said the interviewer. "I'm out of business," responded Mr. Carnegie, "and I know nothing about combinations." When questioned regarding his recent gift to the universities of Scotland, he said: "Everything will be settled shortly in a way satisfactorily to both sides. The high Scotch officials and myself are still having conferences to arrange matters." When asked if he contemplated further gifts, he replied in the negative, adding: "I have quite enough on my hands for the present. When this matter has been settled there will be time enough to think of something else." THE CONSTITUTION DISMASTED. Cup Defender's Accident Will Not Interfere With International Races. Newport, R. I., June 5.—The cup defender Constitution was dismasted while on her trial spin yesterday afternoon. The accident happened while the yacht was off Brenton's Reef Lightship, about three miles out from Narragansett Pier. The tender Mount Morris took the Constitution in tow and brought her to Newport. No one was hurt in the accident on the Constitution, although one of the mates was swept overboard. He was rescued and suffered no harm. "The accident," said a leading yachtsmen, "will cause no delay in the cup races, for we had foreseen and prepared for just such a contingency. You remember the Columbia had a similar accident, and when we prepared to build the Constitution we decided to have two masts made. The second mast is ready for use." Three Passengers Killed, Sixteen Hurts, Atlanta, Ga. June 5.—A switch engine in the yards of the Southern railway shops, near the city limits, dashed into a passenger train as it was passing yesterday, killing three passengers and injuring 16, three of them, it is feared, fatally. The dead: Mrs. A. A. Lemmon, of McDonough, Ga.; Irma, 10-year-old daughter of Mrs. Lemmon; R. H. Vickers, Floville, Ga. Fatally injured: Mrs. Julia Kersey, Atlanta; A. F. Bunn. McDonough, Ga.; D. A. George, Rex, Ga. Not "Substantial" Compliance Washington, June 1.—The president and the cabinet at their meeting yesterday decided that the action of the Cuban constitutional convention was not a "substantial" compliance with the terms of the Platt amendment. The secretary of war was instructed to convey this fact to the convention in unqualified terms. REMARKABLE STEAMBOAT RACE. Victor Won by Forty-five Seconds in a Hundred Miles. Cleveland, June 5.—The hundred mile race from Cleveland to Erie yesterday between the Cleveland passenger steamer City of Erie, owned by the Cleveland and Buffalo Transit company, and the Tashmoo, Detroit's crack passenger bont, owned by the White Star company, was in many respects the most noteworthy race ever sailed on fresh water. The Erie covered the distance in 4 hours, 19 minutes and 9 seconds, beating the Tashmoo by 45 seconds, elapsed time. It was pronounced by old vessel men to be the prettiest race ever witnessed. Aside from winning the speed championship of the great lakes, the Erie won about $100,000 for those who bet on her. John W.

MISS KETURAH always prided her self on the fact that she never carried bones." People might say the most unpleasant things about each other, but if they were said to Miss Keturah that would be the last of them. She never was known to make the least bit of trouble among the neighbors in all the 48 years of her quiet life. The knowledge of this was in her subconsciousness, even at the time when she told young Miss Vincent that Mrs. Overton had said that she thought Mrs. Vincent and her husband were the softest couple she ever saw, and she had seen a good many, first and last, too. Miss Keturah then went on to tell what others had said in disargument of Mrs. Vincent's housekeeping, and it was not long before her caller went home in tears. "Now, I wonder," thought Miss Keturah, "what made me do that? I never did such a thing in all my life before. My, but I could make a lot of trouble if I set out!" Somehow she had not the least compunction about what she had done, and when a few minutes later Mrs. Overton came in Miss Keturah immediately began to tell her guest what had been said about her butter by Mrs. Vincent. "She said she believed you put in so much salt to make it weigh more, and she had a mind to buy salt in the first place and save money." Miss Keturah repeated this remark with great relish. "Of course. I don't agree with HE'D RATHER HEAR IT THUNDER THAN TO HEAR ME SING." her at all. I think your butter is nice, and I like it salt. Mrs. Miles was in here the other day and she was talking about your butter. She thinks as I do, but she said she did not get milk at your house; it smells so strong of the bran." Mrs. Overton looked very angry. "I'm going to see Mrs. Miles right now," she declared. "I'll tell her that she needn't bother to buy milk of us if she don't want to. We can find plenty of folks that will be glad to buy it, and folks that will pay us without waiting six months about it, too. And I'll go and see Mrs. Vincent and tell her to use soap grease for butter if she don't like any salt." Mrs. Overton had hardly gone before another neighbor came. In fact, there was a continuous stream of callers. Each one went away angry with some other neighbor. A little girl was crying softly because some one had made fun of her clothes. A young lady of musical tastes was flushed and excited. He'd rather hear it thunder than to hear me sing, had he? Well, he'll have to hear me just the same, and I shall open the windows when I practice." Another girl was pale and dry-c eyed. "So he said he thought I was a good little girl, but without much force of character. He will discover to-night that I have force enough to break our engagement." Miss Keturah noticed the effect of her words in every case and glanced over each victim. "There won't be anybody in town on speaking terms with anybody else by night," she said to herself. "My! what a string of company I am having this afternoon: er- erybody I know. And if here don't come the minister. Dear me! I guess he's heard something, he looks so sober." Rev. Mr. Fletcher seated himself and regarded Miss Keturah reproachfully, "I am very much surprised," he began, "that is to say, I am greatly pained to learn of your very extraordinary conduct this afternoon." "Then you have heard of it? They say bad news travels fast," and Miss Keturah laughed. "You don't know what fun it has been. I never did anything like it in my whole life before. But I think it does anyone good to let themselves go once in awhile. Don't you think so?" She looked at him frankly. "No, indeed," he answered, sternly. "I certainly do not think so. Do you realize what you have done?—what an amount of harm that never can be undone?" "Well, they had no business to tell me the things they do. I didn't tell anything but the truth. They come to me and tell me these things and expect me to keep them. They make a regular moral rag bag of me. After a time, if you keep stuffing a rag bag, it has either got to burst or run over. I've done one of the two to-day. I'm not quite sure which, but, anyway, it has been very interesting—very." The minister looked at her in horrified amazement. "It would almost seem like a case of demoniacal possession," he muttered. "I don't think you even yet understand the enormity of your offense," he added. "You have broken up friendships and wounded people cruelly. You have even, in one case, come between husband and wife." "Is that so?" said Miss Keturah, eagerly. "I didn't know how I had done that. Do tell me about it. Well, if you won't, wouldn't you like to have me tell you what folks say about you?" For an instant an expression of eager curiosity crossed the minister's face, but it was gone in a moment. "No," he said, quickly. "I do not care to hear anything of the kind." Miss Keturah laughed. "When you said that you looked just as Mrs. Barnes says you look in the pulpit. You always thought considerable of Mrs. Barnes, didn't you? Well, she says that when you are preaching you look just like an old woodchuck. And Lyda says that if she had the winding you up for your sermons to do, she'd manage it so that they'd run down in a little less than 45 minutes. Miss Gates says that as a cure for insomnia"—but Miss Keturah was talking to an empty chair, for the minister had fled. Perhaps his words began to have some effect on her, and perhaps she was tired from her unusual exe-ment. At any rate, she began to feel twinges of remorse. "Demoniacal possession," she murmured. "That must be it; I was possessed. It was an awful thing to do. Oh, dear, dear!" and she began to cry. "I might go around and tell folks that they were all lies, but nobody would believe me—and they weren't lies, either. What shall I do?" She wrung her hands and rocked herself back and forth. Just then the maitese kitten began to chase his tail. It was a very playful kitten, and it went whirling over the floor. Suddenly it came directly toward Miss Keturah's chair and stopped under the rockers. "Oh, I shall rock on you!" she cried, springing up. She woke with a start. "I dreamed about the kitten," she said to herself, and immediately her mind went back to the dreadful thing she had done. "Oh, how could I do it?" she wailed. "How can I bear it?" Tears were running down her cheeks. "I—I wish I could die!" Suddenly she sat up and looked about her. It was dark as midnight. "Oh, oh!" she cried out, joyfully. "I didn't do it. I didn't do it after all. That was a dream, too!" She reflected a little. "No," she said, with decision. "I didn't do it. I really didn't. But I am not going to sleep any more to-night. I'm afraid I'd go to dreaming it again!" Groping about in the dark, she found her clothes and dressed herself quickly. "I didn't do it," she kept saying, softly. Finally she wrapped a quilt about her and sat down in a rocking chair. She swayed slowly back and forth, and in her heart was a deep peace. "Oh," she sighed, "I am so happy and so thankful. It was an awful dream. It was a warning, emphatically. And never, as long as I live, will I ever eat mince pie and cheese for supper again." In a few moments she was sleeping peacefully and dreaming in her chair. —Sunny South. A Lesson in Epigram Long ago a beautiful statue stood in one of the ancient Greek cities. Every trace of it has now vanished, but an epigrammatic conversation between a traveler and the state has been preserved. The tradition not only gives us an excellent description of the statue, but discloses the lesson which the wise old Greeks wished to convey to every passer-by. "What is thy name, O statue?" "I am called Opportunity." "Who made thee?" "Lysippus." "Why art thou on thy toes?" z "To show that I stay but a moment." "Why hast thou wings on thy feet?" "To show how quickly I pass by." "But why is thy hair so long on the forehead?" "That men may seize me when they meet me." "Why, then, is thy head so bald behind?" "To show that when I have ones passed I cannot be caught."—Christian Press. Don't Deserve It A hen-pecked man being told that an old acquaintance was married exclaimed: "I am glad to hear it."

Hereditary Governor General of Azerbaijan and Heir Apparent to the Throne of Persia. The founder of the persent Kajar dynasty, Agha Mohammed Khan, died in the year 1797, and was succeeded by his nephew, Fath All Shah, during whose reign Persia came so often into conflict with her great northern neighbor, and finally, in February, 1828, concluded the treaty of Turkmanchal, which delimitates its present northwest frontier. The Persian forces, during the wars of 1803-13, and the subsequent war of 1825-27, were commanded by Fath All Shah's eldest son, Abbas Mirza, styled ALI MOHAMMED MIRZA. (Valliahd of Persia and Governor General of Azerbaijan.) Nalb-es-Sultanch, who was the first Kajar valiahd to be named governor general of the great northwestern province of Azerbaijan, of which Tabriz is the chief town. This great prince died a few months before his father, in the year 1834, and his son, Mohammed Shah, succeeded to the throne. It has ever since been an unwritten law that the valiahd (or heir-apparent) shall be governor general of Azerbaijan, and shall reside at Tabriz during the whole reign. Such was the case with Muzaffer-ed-Deen Shah, who succeeded to the throne after the assassination of his father, Nasr-ed-Deen Shah, on May 1, 1896, and arrived in Teheran in June of that year, after having been crowned at Tabriz, where the present vallahd, Ala Mohammed Mirza, remained as governor general. The valihaad, says London Black and White, was born on July 24, 1872, and is therefore 28 years old. He enjoyed, with his two younger brothers, the advantage of European tuition, of which his enlightened father saw the importance. The prince has acquired a very fair knowledge of French, and is in every way an example of the modern progressive spirit of the last decade in Persia. His highness is anxious to visit Europe, and it is thought likely that the shah may not be adverse to undertaking a journey this year. The valiadh takes after his father in many ways. He has the same kindly and courteous manner which endearls him to all who have the privilege of coming into contact with him. At the same time he seems to have inherited from his grandfather, Nasr-ed-Deen Shah, the firmness of character and strong constitution which distinguished the shah who was so well known in Europe. He has at the same time inherited from both his ancestors that passion for sport and outdoor exercise which has for generations been the lament of the weakly and indolent courtiers who, at all times and in all weathers, have been obliged, at a moment's notice, to accompany their royal masters on fatiguing shooting expeditions in the rocky mountains which surround the capital. MONSTER STRAW HAT. Those Who Claim to Know All About It Say It Is the Largest One Ever Made. Here is a picture of the largest hat in the world, so far as can be ascer- tained, and it was made by an ambi- tious hatter of a small place in the Philippines, who used 960 yards of "jumbe" straight straw plait an inch in width in the manufacture of this monster head covering. As a means of comparison, what are said to be the smallest lady's sailor or hat and the smallest man's straw are held up for comparison with this giant, which measures 7½ feet across the brim and three feet around the crown. Rare Excitement in Kansas. There was a lively time in Ellenwood, Kan., when a mad bull dashed through the town. The men fled to halls and stairways, leaving the women on the streets exposed to peril. On the following day a jackrabbit scampered over the same course, and the male population bravely chased it for four miles, while the women fled in terror. "How awfully greedy you are!" said one little girl to another. "You took the biggest apple from the basket just as I was going to take it myself."—Philadelphia Inquirer. **Wenry Waiting.** She (wearily)—Did you give the garcon your order?

MARTH, the world renowned and highly celebrated business and test Medium reveals everything. No imposition. Can be consulted upon all affairs of life, business, love and marriage a specialty. Every mystery revealed, also of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all troubles and estrangements, challenges any Medium who can exceed her in startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life. Remember she will not for any price factor you; you may rest content with gain facts without nonessence. You can be consulted upon all affairs of Life, Love, or Marriage Friends. ete with description of future companion. She is very accurate in describing missing friends, enimies, etc. business, law suits journeys, context ed wills, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable he reads your destiny--good or bad; she withhold nothing. MR. MARTH tells your entire life past, present and future in a BEAD TRANCE, has the power of any two Mediums you ever met. In tests she tells your mother's full name before marriage, the names of all your family their ages and description. the name and business of your present husband the name of your next if you are to have one, the name of the young man who new calls on you, the name of your future husband, and the day, month and year of your marriage, how many children you have or will have; whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart she will tell you your own sweetheart, your business and date of acquaintance, all your future will be told in an honest clear and plain manner and in a dead trance. Motherhes 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 scruples prevent your consulting. Madame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL, MAD, or NOT of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. There are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from consulting a Medium, but such beliefs are contrary to the truth. It is only from the lack of discrimination that such a conclusion can be reached. It is not every one who placards himself or herself as a medium that can stand a test of what he or she claims. And a person of an acquiring mind may ask the question why. It is simply the desire that does 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 obstacles. It is an undeniable fact that persons will come for advice in full knowledge of what they want to know, and yet as soon as they confront a Medium they try their utmost endeavor to dispel from their minds what they know so as to hear if it will be rehearsed by the Medium. To get the secret out or a gesture to communicate is the art used by many unprincipled mediums, but to take hold or the head and gain control of the mind thereby is a matter of impossibility to most of us, yet this can be done and by consulting Ms. Marth the seeming mystery becomes realization. This subject has become more widely attended college professors. So it proves conclusively that although taurine 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 uniting effort, the key to the well of apparently unfathomable stories has been secured by MRS. MARTH for the benefit of humanity. ADVICE BY LETTER, $1.00 HOURS FROM 10 A. M., TO 8 P. M. Enclose stamp for reply. Please mention the PLANET Ozonized O..

Jurgen's Son 421 EAST BROAD ST., between 4th and 5th Street THE PLANET MUSIC AND DRAMA. Adam de la Hale, a troubadour, wrote the world's first comic opera in 1240 A. D. France pays for her paupers by means of a tax of ten per cent. on all theater tickets sold. There are 336 places of public entertainment in London, with a combined seating capacity for 400,000 people. A new play has been written with the title "Gen. Funston and the Filipinos," and it will shortly be produced in New York. The Actors' club at Buda-Pesth has held a demonstration in favor of prohibiting plays being performed in Hungary in a foreign language. Sheridan is said to have finished "The Rivals" in six weeks. The story is commonly believed to have been true, and the incidents to have occurred in his own experience. Fans, opera-glasses, ammonia, sulphuric acid, and bottles of eyil-smelling and noxious gases were among the missiles with which the actors of "The Contrabanditti" were pelted by students at Saratoff, Russia. William Archer, the Scot who forsook the bar for journalism, is now the acknowledged chief of English critics of the drama. He made a reputation as dramatic critic of the London Figaro and is scholarly, urbane and fair in his criticisms. Otis Bardwell Boise, of Berlin, Germany, regarded as one of the great teachers of harmony and composition in Europe, has accepted a professorship at the Peabody conservatory of music in Baltimore and will come to this country in July. Mme. Adelina Patti says that walking and possibly billiard-playing, on account of the walking it involves, are the best exercises for a singer. Mme. Patti also declares that no one who wishes to retain the freshness, sweetness and power of her voice should sing in opera more than twice or at the most three times a week. FOR WOMEN READERS. A vigorous war is being waged 12 several German cities against the trailing dresses of women in the streets. The growing demand for women in the factories of Germany is bringing the servant girl problem more and more to the front. Mrs. Humphry Ward writes on a real roof garden of her London house. It is handsomely fitted up like a regular room, and on dull, dark days lighted with lamps fitted into wind-proof globes. Margaret Deland has a perpetual bit of summer introduced into her Boston home. A small glass conservatory, filled to overflowing with gay jonquils, is where this brilliant writer does her work. An interesting fact brought out by the recent elections in Colorado is the marked tendency of Colorado men to elect women as city treasurers. Mrs. Margaret Robins was unanimously chosen city treasurer of Idaho Springs. At Aspen Mrs. E. A. Kenney was reelected to the same office by a large majority. Mrs. Jennie Gale was elected city treasurer at New Castle, Mrs. Emma C. Palmer in Greeley, Mrs. Clara A. Clark at Alma, Mrs. Mary Shanks at Guray, Mrs. Nellie E. Donahue at Victor and Mrs. A. N. Frowning at Manitou. SCHOOL INTERESTS Glasgow spends £360,000 a year on building, £49,000 of which is for churches and schools. Although in the last 60 years the population of Europe has only increased 33 per cent., the number of children attending school has grown in the same period by 150 per cent. The four great Scottish universities are in a very bad way financially. All of them are appealing for funds, and it is said that a sum of at least $10,000,000 is needed to bring them up to the level of modern requirements. The members of the Toronto public school board have made up their minds that they don't like the vertical writing. Under an order just adopted the Toronto boys and girls will hereafter slant their letters to the right Parents and guardians in Greenwood county, Kan., complain that questions far beyond reasonable limit are asked of even the younger children. At a recent examination the following were among the questions put: "What is meant by free trade? Imperialism? Protection? Expansion? Write briefly on the following topics: Missouri Compromise, Dred Scott Decision, Kansas-Nebraska Act." ALL MANNER OF CONCERNS. The Roman roads, according to their importance, were from eight to thirty feet in width. Florida will continue for four years at least to lease its convicts to the highest bidders. The price paid for hemp in Yucatan has brought great prosperity to the people of that land. A bill which has just become a law of New York makes the funeral expenses of a deceased person payable from his estate before any other debts. Argentine republic is preparing to send a team to compete in the international rifle match in New Jersey next summer. The Evanston (Ill.) Golf club has the championship hole of the United States. It is 580 yards from the tee. It will be hard to make with a drive and a putt. A fine specimen of the perlophthalmus family, a species of fish that is supposed to be confined strictly to African waters, was recently caught near Fernandina, Fla. Finishing Touches.

Forty-one thousand visits a day are paid to London pawn-brokers. The quill pens now used in England come from Germany and the Netherlands. Five tons of beet is the usual crop to the acre in Russia, nine in Germany, and ten to twelve in England. Holland's trade is the heaviest per head of any European nation. I amounts to £45 for each person. Every man in England who occupies a house with not fewer than 15 windows is liable to be called upon to serve on a jury. The Russian government opened 625 new savings banks last year, mostly at railway stations. The total number is now 5,406. In England and Wales there are 7,371 fishing boats and 40,000 fishermen engaged in sea fishery. In a year they catch nearly 7,000,000 hundredweight of fish. Seventy-eight per cent. of English electors vote on an average. In France $1 come to the polls, but in Switzerland and in Sweden the usual average is only 40. Letters written by Queen Victoria are already increasing in value in London and the other day a brief three-line note of hers, written in het own hand, sold for $125. NEWSPAPER CLIPS. One pickle may make many pessimists.—Ram's Horn. Some nice girls have mighty worthless steady company.—Atchison Glofe. It is sometimes the case that a man's "ante" is what sends him to his "uncle."—Philadelphia Bulletin. The best way to contract debts is to pay them—but somehow this plan is unpopular with a great many people.—Chicago Daily News. About half the years of a college course are spent in teaching the boy to talk, and after he graduates he has to spend two or three times as many years learning to keep still.—Washington Capital. You have no right to say: "He is a nice man, but there are some things I do not like about him." There are things about you which others do not like, and besides, every one is more or less prejudiced.—Atchison Globe. Unselfish goodness is seldom appreciated in this world of ours. There was that man in the electric car, for instance. Having rung up three fares in his efforts to stop the car for the woman that sat on the opposite side, he tossed after her the umbrella that belonged to the little gray-whiskered man on his right. Neither the gray-whiskered man nor the conductor liked the thoughtful Samaritan for his altruistic efforts.—Boston Transcript. FASHION'S MIRROR. Tiny Dresden roses are very much used in millinery. Flowers carefully wired are made into bow effects for the side and back of hats. Panne mousseline in colors, with black satin polka dots, makes pretty blouse waists. Brooches, so popular in olden days, have returned to favor, and almost every woman now possesses at least one. Parasols in plain white and tinted silks show two groups of narrow tucks with a band of gold embroidery between. The latest evening coiffure shows a soft puff around the face, broken by a little few curls at one side and loose knots arranged low at the nape of the neck. One large rose is worn at one side of the front. Charming waists are made entirely of ribbon of two widths, with about half an inch of space between the rows, which is partially filled with the fancy gold stitching connecting them. These waists are worn over bodices of any color desired. LITERARY LITTER Zola's income from his books for 1000 is said to have amounted to something over $25,000. Bret Harte generally writes out of doors, but always while smoking. He said the first line always took a cigar and sometimes two cigars. Thomas Bailey Aldrich, the poet, detests all manner of publicity and only upon one or two occasions has he been prevailed upon to read any of his verse in public. In the city of Atlanta, in a homelike little cottage embowered in rosebushes and apple trees, Joel Harris writes his inimitable tales of "Uncle Remus and Br'er Rabbit." When Henry Ibsen was in his teens he took up the study of medicine and read for examination in Christianaia. In the course of his study he read "Sallust," and the character of Cataline so took his fancy that he wrote a little play, introducing him. It was so successful from a literary standpoint that the young author's life current was changed at once. BRO. DICKEY'S PHILOSOPHY.

At No Other Hour of the Day Can Parents Exert a More Lasting or Higher Molding Power. Every parent who has been in the habit of reading or talking to the little ones after they are safely tucked in bed will bear witness to the value of this mode of influence. With laying off the clothes, the angers, worries and discontents of the day subside. With the brief season of prayer they fly still farther into the background. And when the little form rests in its bed they seem to vanish out of sight. The body is at rest. The heart is plastic to the touch of a loving father or mother. Now is the time to exert a molding power. At this hour the little ones listen with hushed attention to what is read to them. Hymns, the Scriptures, Bible stories, are heard with close attention, until the reader's voice is stilled or the hearers sink into gentle sleep; or conversation may take the place of reading. The will that was in a state of resistance an hour ago is now relaxed. The anger that blinded moral discernment has passed away. With open heart the child utters its confessions and gladly receives the forgiving kiss. Plans for the morrow can be discussed, and duty can be made to put on an attractive form. Irritations can be looked at quietly, and admonitions to watchfulness may be dropped with soothing efficacy into the listening ear. And then how delightful the embrace with which the young arms clasp your neck, the intense "dear mother" with which the "good night" is said. Parents, if you have not thus parted from your birdlings at the evening hour, you have something yet to learn of love's delights.—Leslie's Weekly. COUNTESS OF WARWICK. Famous English Beauty Is New Devoting Her Time and Fine Talents to Charity Work. When King Edward succeeded to the throne of Great Britain the impression prevailed in court circles that the beautiful countess of Warwick would exercise great influence in the management of state affairs. The countess is a woman noted for brains, whose undertakings in business and charity have been eminently successful. King THE COUNTESS OF WARWICK (Said to Be the Most Beautiful Woman in Great Britain.) Edwards entertains the highest regal for her, and as prince of Wales consulted her whenever he encountered difficulties. There was said to be no woman of whose judgment he had a higher opinion. The countess had many enemies at court, however, and it is supposed that the king listened to their counsel, as since his accession he has ignored his old-time friend. The countess shocked British society a few years ago by opening a lace shop in Bond street, London, but according to the latest reports she has sold her lace and lingerie business and retired from trade. She is now devoting her time and her fine talents to promoting the education and welfare of country working girls. A rich dowager, whose name thus far has been kept a secret, gave her $500,000 to carry on this work. The countess is establishing schools, homes and boarding houses for the girls, where they are safe and enjoy many advantages. Cream of Peanut Soup To make cream of peanut soup put half a pint of peanut butter into a quart of milk; add half a teaspoonful of salt, a dash of pepper, a tablespoonful of grated onion, a bay leaf, a salt-spoonful of celery seed, or a little chopped celery tops. Cook this in a double boiler for ten minutes. Moisten one tablespoonful of cornstarch in a little cold milk, add it to the hot milk, and stir until smooth and thick. Strain through a fine sieve and serve with squares of toasted whole wheat bread. Nuts are sufficiently oily without adding butter. Any nut or mixture of nuts may be used in the same manner—Ladies' Home Journal. Bitterness. "I saw a blind man the other day," said the beautiful woman who had become the wife of a tootting old millionaire, "who could count money as rapidly as anybody, merely by feeling it." "Indeed!" replied the young man who had been enraged to her—"just like Love, wasn't he?"—Chicago Record-Herald. MAKING NECKWEAR. A New and Lucrative Field of Enterprise for the Ingenious and Tasteful Woman. Among the strictly feminine professions none is just now more lucrative than the manufacture of neckwear. The decoration of tea-cloths and doilies, sofa-pillows and bureau-scarfs with drawn work and floss flowers threatens to become a forgotten art since the demand for pret- NOVELTIES IN NECKWEAR ty hand-made collars, berthas, stocks, etc., far exceeds the supply. Machine-made neckwear the well-dressed woman refuses to accept at any price. To her notion there is a set and a sameness about it that fails utterly to please; she has entirely forworn the masculine linen shirt collar, and, however simple and tailorish her costume may be, her throat must be dressed with care, taste and originality. Therefore, whatever she ties about her neck must be hand-made, for this more or less shuts out the possibility of wholesale imitation of any particularly nice designs. One woman who took advantage of this sentiment prevailing among her sex earned a tidy $500 last summer by making every variety of little silk, lawn, linen and lace turn over for fall stocks, and this year she has gone into the lucrative business of making smart tulle collars, roped with imitation pearls, for wear with decolleto evening gowns. She also makes irresistible kerchiefs and berthas of lace and chiffon, and sells them readily to women who wish to freshen up their old evening waistbands at little expense and less trouble. She has improved on the transparent lace stock for this season by welding pieces of tea-tinted lace together, to form a sort of dog collar, and weaving through openings in the fretted band of gold or panne ribbon that ties in a broad-winged bow at the back of the neck. This woman and her sister manufacturers haunt the remnant counters and pick up invaluable odds and ends for little or nothing; odds and ends, however, that in the true artist's fingers can be converted into the most delightful ornaments for a shirt-waist, a reception toilet, or a ball gown as the need may be; and one of these collar-makers, who keeps herself an courant with the fashion, is preparing a big stock of flat collars. Such collars, a little later on, with country muslins that have bell-mouthed sleeves, the women will adopt, pinning the flat lace boleros for the neck with the quaint cameo brooches that their mothers wore a half century ago.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Housework and the Hands When engaged in sweeping and dusting and similar household tasks the hands should be protected with loose gloves. If rubber gloves are not used in dishwashing, a dishmop should be used, to prevent the hands from being so frequently immersed in hot soapy water. After doing rough, coarse work which has begrimed the hands, before attempting to wash them rub in the pores a little vaseline or oil to loosen the dirt, then wash them in hot water and pure soap, using a hand scrubbing brush. Lather them well and remove every particle of grime from about the nails. Turn out the soapy water and rinse them in tepid water and lastly in cold, so that they will not be made too tender. Hard water is very harsh and trying to the skin of face or hands, and boiled, distilled or soft rain water should be used when obtainable.—Chicago Daily News. How to Clean a Tentpot Wash the teapot out thoroughly with boiling hot soda soapaids, then rinse with ammonia and water, and, lastly, two or three times in clean cold water and dry well. Kept thus, the teapot should be as bright inside as out, but remember to air it well after washing. Once in Awhile Once in a while in the desert sand We find a spot of the fairest green; Once in a while from where we stand The hills of paradise are seen; And a perfect joy in our hearts we hold, A joy that the world cannot defile; We trade earth's cross for the purest gold Once in a while. -Nixon Waterman, in Good Cheer.

P. I., April 23. '01. Right behind the capture of Agnual do comes the practical winding up of the insurer under this province by the surreverder of the Insurant Gener and all his forces to General Burt, Col. 24th Infantry at this station on April 10th. General Ariel and his chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Alva with their forces have harassed this end of the line, especially company K. for more than a year, and the fact that they surreverder to the company they had fought so often, shows they appreciated their foes and speaks well for Co. K, 26th Infantry. It was known on April 2nd that the Insurgent thiefain contended surreverder to the arrival of General Burt and his Adjutant, Captain Leonhacher from Ia accompanied by the leaders of the Federal party, who had labored necessarily since their organization for war. On the 3rd, a committee of the leading party representing the elite of the Province proceeded to Sibig and then to Olangapeo by boat, from which place the joining was continued to the Inurgent camp near that place. A conference was held and on the 5th they returned with smiles on their countenance announcing success. There is a big camp in Sibig pass, everywhere is noise and bustle, the plow, the scraper, the pick the shovel, all lend their industrial powwow to the constant improvement therein and mingled with the noises of the present quite a little like spectacles. This camp was quite surprised to see several armed natives approaching on April 5th, some a light completed mustache, and wearing green eye-glasses walked across the group and extending his hand announced that he was General Arsi. This chivalrous defender of the stars and stripes returned the salutation with admiration for the man who on more than one occasion had made him a selfish defender of his person. The General then introduced a little Mexican-looking man, wearing a long mustache in an imperial air, as Lieut. Col. Alva (alb. utti, in Spanish, the letter "v" is always pronounced "b") the greetings were exchanged and they moved on to the pre-arranged ramp of mobility near Castillejos, Col. Alva is the real fighter, he exhibited the effects of the late Lieut. Schencks, including a pocket containing his wife and babies' pictures upon request. On Sunday, April 7th they held a consultation with General Burt and staff and Wednesday April 10th decided as the date of fortnight arriving. From then until Tuesday, detachments were constantly coming in the camp. Wednesday was an ideal day, the town had been decorated in her holiday clothes. The Southern end of the province was out en masse to welcome the staff and make it one long to be remembered. Music was in abundance being furnished by the 25th Regiment and the native lands. From Obanangan. South at 2:30 p. m. Captain O'Neil, who fought Alva so hard and so often accompanied by Lieutenants Hunt and Eochs and escorted by a detachment of the 3rd Battalion scouts proceeded to the East of the town and escorted the ex-native warriors to the center of the plaza. As they passed, the heroes of Zambales Gap and the casual detachment presented arms the natives wheeled in line and returned the compliment. The arms were then stacked and counted and General Avery finally surrendered to the Burt, but the exercises were not half over, the Priest read the truth of allegiance and made a sash (a pies) for protracted peace and offered prayer to the Lord of hosts in working His blessings and holy will to continue the same. General Arzt made a short speech and Col Alva followed. A native lady of San Antonio, Zambales then made the popular voted oration of the day. She spoke in native dialect, directing her gestures to a banner containing a picture of Columbia leading a woman up a flight of stairs, behind which the sun could be seen rising, the whole representing America leading the Filipinos to a higher plane of citizenship and the rising of a new day for them. At her conclusion the Regimental band strues up the "Star Spangled Banner," the native band taking up the echo and amid the cheers of victor and vanquished, old glory awning in the breeze and this closed Castilijos and Zambales' most eventful day. The officers repaired to the headquarters building and there the former Insurgent Chieftains took the oath of allegiance to the U. S. In all, 104 rifles were surrendered. Private Benjamin Edwards, Co. "O. L." 26th Infantry, who was captured in the fight Nov. 10, 1900 was returned, looking well, as was Chas. S. Brown, company K who deserted from San Marcelino last October after having assaulted a sentry on a post. General Smith the District Commander paid a visit to this portion his district and had nothing but praise for company K who has fought the enemy so long from this station without change. Company K is the only company in the regiment occupying the same station it did one year ago. Latest reports from Manila show that the Macabes, who readened such valuable service under Major Batson are abusing the people of Bulaasan, shamefully, taking advantage of the women, thereby greatly injuring their vegetation. Arginaldo has agreed to General Mo-Arthur's terms, issuing proclamations which will cause the release of 1000 Filipino prisoners of war. It is said he will leave for the states soon to be the guest of the nation, at present he is at the palace in Malacanan. It is officially announced that Civil government will commence July 1st.

Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are franks 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 or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by firing advertisements and big words.
