Richmond Planet

THE RICHMOND PLANET. Did not Sit With White Woman nor Pose as Frenchman. Boston, Mass., June 2, 1906. The colored people of Boston of every faction are deeply stirred up over the indignities to which their fellow townman, Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, pastor of the Charles St. A. M. E. Church, was subjected by white passengers in Tennessee who mobbed him and drove him brutally from his seat in a Pullman car and by the colored principal of the Industrial School at Normal, Ala., who because of the assault upon alm by these Tennessee ruffians not only forbade him delivering the Commencement address he had been invited to deliver by this same principal, but turned him away from the grounds without even offering him shelter, rest or food. Especial resentment is felt here by the colored people over the false reports sent out by the Southern branch of the Associated Press and over those sent out by the principal of the school at Normal, Ala. Rev. Ransom, coming straight back from Alabama, arrived in Boston Wednesday night completely exhausted from his long fast and suffering from injuries received on the train going down. It has been found out that Rev. Ransom at no time was in the dining car, that he did not speak a word of German or French to any one, that he was conversing with no one when attacked. An hour before a lady had asked him from a seat across the aisle if he were a Frenchman, pointing to the foreign tags on his suit case and he replied in English indicating he knew about a foot of French Not two dozer he had passed between them. Previously Rev. Ransom had given the porter Rev. Ransom had given the porter of his Garrison Centennial oration. He bought his ticket, including Pullman Boston. His wife who was with him says he especially inquired if he as a colored man would be molested. He addressed his assailants in English at all stages. The uncomplimentary reports as to Rev. Ransom's condition by the school principal have also been found to be absolutely false and to be undeserving of belief anyway inasmuch as neither this principal nor his alumni were courteous enough to meet the distinguished visitor. Rev Ransom's requests to see the principal were denied. None of the messengers at the building on the outskirts of the grounds to which Rev. Ransom had been taken in a carriage would tell him why he would not be allowed to deliver his address or discuss the matter. They simply told him the principal was busy and had sent orders for him to leave the place at once. W. M. T. TO FORCE THE COLORED K. OF P'S OUT OF STATE. Resolution Looking to That End A dopted by the Grand Lodge. [Savannah, Ga. Press.] [Savvahhah, Ga. Press.] The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Georgia is going to see what can be done in this state to prevent the use of the words, "Knights of Pythias", the colored organizations. To this end, under a resolution adopted near the close of the session yesterday, the committee three attorneys who are members of the grand lodge, has been empowered to investigate the matter and decide upon the best method to proceed to force the colored pythians to discontinue the use of the name in this state. The committee consists of Messrs. J. P. Ross of Macon, grand prelate of the grand lodge; Mr. Thos. S. Meli of Athens, a member of the finance committee, and Mr. S. L. Olive, a member of the judiciary committee. These are three lawyers of ability. It is expected that by the time of the next grand lodge convention these gentlemen will have found some way to get at this question. If they the colored organizations which pretense to work with the ritual of the Knights of Pythias will be debarred the court decree or otherwise from fostering the name of the order in the illegal manner in which they now do it. The adoption of this resolution lays the ground work for one of the most important pieces of legislation to be considered by the next grand lodge. Mr. Smith Loses Money. Mr. John G. Smith of 1301 E. Leigh Street sent seventy-five dollars up to the Bank to be deposited by a boy. He heard nothing about the money or the boy until the latter was arrested at the depot while about to board a train. About $20, 05 was found on his person, and MrSmith is consoling himself with the loss of about forty dollars. Mr. Smith decided not to prosecute aim and he was placed under $300 security for twelve months. The affair occurred last Monday. MR. MILLER'S LICENSE Lost at One Place and Won at the Other. Judge S. B. Witt granted a barroom license to Mr. William Miller, Wednesday, June 6th, the place of business being specified at No. 711 N. Second St. This ends one of the longest, most expensive and the most stubbornly contested cases ever known in this city. The application for license in the last specified case was backed up by the simple plea of Mr. William Custalo, a well-known and respected citizen of color, who vouched for Mr. Miller. The attempt had been made to give a license to sell liquor at Second and Leigh Sts., the location of Miller's Hotel. To this end Mr. H. M. Smith Jr. and Mr. G. K. Pollock had been employed, but all of their skill and influence were useless. Much ill-feeling was engendered as a result of the contest. Mr. Miller's new quarters are but little over one square from his hotel location and his patrons can go there with but little inconvenience. This is a most fortunate culmination of a most embarrassing contest Mr. Bowles Heavy Loss. Mr. D. Bowles, the well-known contracting teamster hung up his coat one day last week with four hundred and five dollars in one of the pockets. He was his coat, and is unable to find the money. It is him who much annoyance and the officers are endeavoring to locate the funds. Another New Lodge Here Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr. instituted a lodge of Knights of Pythias, N. A, S. A, E, A, A and A, at the new Pythian Castle, 727 N. Third St., Thursday night, May 31st. He was assisted by Grand Master at Arms W. E. Mitchell, Assi- tant Grand Master at Arms, S. S. Baker, Grand Lodge Attendant; John G. Smith and Sirs John R. Holmes, R. W. Moss, Minor Brown, J. A. Lewis, Frank Johnson, D. J. Bradford, W. W. Wilson, Frank Or- ange, B. E. Williams, E. W. R Glenn, Marcellus James, David Har- ries, James H. Taylor, H. T. Slayton, Edward Jefferson, D. W. Washington, W. M. Robinson. The officers of the new body which will be known as Dunbark Lodge, No. 110 are Chancellor Commander, L. R. Edmunds; Master of Work, William H. Tinsley; Vice Chancellor, C. M. White; Prelate, Samuel Parks Keeper of Records and Seal, R. C. Jones; Master of Finance, William Banks; Master of Exchequer, R. O. Bland; Master at Arms, Robert Robinson; Inner Guard, Robert Brown; Outer Guard, Roscoe C. Diggs; Trustees; James Smith, C. M. White, Robert A. Howlett, Attendants; William Nicholas, James Robinson, Harry Thompson, Preston Carter. The Grand Chancellor complimented the new lodge and also Sir John R. Holmes and Sir R. W. Moss, who were instrumental in effecting the organization. A fine repast was spread and all heartily enjoyed them selves. Dr. Jefferson Indisposed Dr. E. R. Jefferson had the misfortune to break one of his ribs and he is under the treatment of Dr. O. B. H. Bowser, who is having some difficulty in keeping the patient still long enough for the broken parts to unite. It seems that all of Doctor Jefferson's patients are particularly anxious for attention at this time and their persistent appeals has caused him to make attempts to practice his profession. As a result, he has suffered two relapses but is now on the road to recovery. CARTER—Died May 19th, 1906 at 3:30 o'clock at his residence in Hampton, Va., Mr. Beverly Carter, beloved husband of Mrs. Martha Carter. Funeral took place from National Soldiers Home, under auspices of the Grand Army Republic of which he was a member. Interment in National Cemetery, Hampton. Peaceful be thy silent slumber, Peaceful in thy grave so low; Thou no more will join our number, Thou no more our song will know. Yet again we hope to meet thee, When the day of life is fled; And in Heaven with joy to greet thee Where no farewell tears are shed. His wife, MARTHA CARTER. The PLANET is only $1.50 per year in advance. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY JUNE 9, 1906. Cashier Wyatt Weds. Mr. Thomas H. Wyatt, Cashier of the Mechanics Savings Bank, in company with Messrs E.

Philadelphia, June 6.—By the breaking of a scaffold surrounding a large gas tank at the plant of the United Gas Improvement company in the southwestern section of the city, six men fell a distance of 140 feet, three of them receiving probably fatal injuries. They are George Nelson, aged 28 years; Daniel Hope, aged 36, and John Cantlin, aged 16 years. There were more than a dozen men working on the scaffold when the accident happened. WHOLE VILLAGE WASHED AWAY Not a House Left In Scottown, O., and Two Women Drowned. Ironton, O., June 6.—Scottown, a village 20 miles north of Ironton, with a population of 200, was washed away. Not a house was left on its foundation. Bridges were washed away and telephone lines are down. The disaster was due to a flood which was caused by a heavy rain, lasting for six hours. The town is situated at the confluence of the branches of the Indian and Guyan creeks. The valley above Scottown is long and narrow, and the flood swept everything before it. Men, women and children escaped to the hills in their nightclothes. Four persons were so injured that they cannot recover. The valley from Scottown to the river was swept clear. Four iron bridges were washed away and many horses were drowned. The damage to crops cannot be estimated.

President Smallwood's Effort Temperance, Industrial and College Institute, at Claremont, Va. is making preparations for a more useful influence and a greater work in the coming school year, 1906-'07. Old Bagley Hall is all reframed, all of the storm sheeting is on and President John J. Smallwood was in the city this week making a large purchase of lumber and building material. The Old Boyce Farm just purchased is being turned into a stock farm and the general work of the Institution is being pushed in these vacation days. President Smallwood quietly but politely refused to allow the unwarranted and false statement to pass that the Institution has closed its doors at Claremont, Va. We are going to do our own good work at Claremont, just as God leads us. We ask all good people to pray for us and help us. The Fall Term will begin September 17th, 1906 and a large number of pupils are expected to be on hand. Mrs. Rosa E. Smallwood and daughter Thelma, are at their city home, No. 102 E.

Broad St. A Voice from Massachusetts Cambridge, Mass., May 28th, '06. Mr. Editor:—John Mitchell, Jr. has won two more victories, which should go down on the pages of history. We have watched with keen interest the struggle as the battle waged hot and hotter, but the enemy has fed, hence two more enemies have fled, in the persons of Thomas Nelson Page, who was doubt less out for a gentleman but was spoiled in the middle of the Thomas Dixon, that apostle of the Devil. Please find enclosed $1.50 for the PLANET for one year. Yours, M. C. JOHNSON Fifth Baptist Church Last Sabbath was a great day at the Fifth Church. Past W. F. Graham preached at the morning ser vice and in the afternoon addressed a great crowd of men. His subject was "Are you a man or a piece of a man?" At night Rev.

West of the River View Church will preach at 11:30, after which the pastor will baptise a 13:00 P. M. Dr. Dr. H. R. William will preach and at night the pastor will preach on "Hold out to the End." The rally will close the third Sunday and they are hoping to raise $1000.00 All friends are asked to help save this church property. A Riot at One of Our Public Schools One day last week, at one of our Public Schools in the city, there came near being a riot, caused by two of the larger boys who were attired in knee pants suits. Had it not been for the timely interference of one of the teachers, it is hard to tell what would have happened as blows had been passed between the boys. One boy had on a suit of clothing which his mother had bought from a white merchant, the other boy a suit of clothing which his mother had bought at The New Enterprise Store. The dispute between the boys was which suit was the best in quality and fit. The fight began. Finally they separated and all of the boys agreed that the suit bought at The New Enterprise Store, 528 E. Broad Street, was the cheapest and best. This should be a warning to mothers and fathers to call at The New Enterprise Store, owned and controlled by Colored People and buy their clothing for their boys and a void further difficulty. You will find there first class tailor made suits; in all of the latest styles and colors, ranging in prices from $1.00 to $5.00 per suit. Youths and men suits accordingly, Shoes, Hats and Underwear in abundance. Please give us a call before spending your money elsewhere. This is all we ask. I. J. Miller. Proprietor Standing by a Principle. [Baltimore, Md. Af.o-American Ledger.] A couple of years age or thereabouts the legislature of this State passed a "Jim Crow" car law which applied to the railroads and steamboats of this state. By a fortunate circumstance the law was carried in so the courts, and it was decided that it only applied to local passenger trains and boats; that it did not apply to through trains. However, the colored people of this city, and many throughout the State decided that it was not in conformity with their dignity as citizens to ride on trains whenever possible to avoid doing so, and so the excursion business throughout the State fell off many thousands of dollars until several of the railroads felt like taking steps to have the law abrogated. This thing has been kept up for the past two years, but now, for some reason, there seems to be a letting down of the bars, and excursions over these "Jim Crow" roads are being advertised. This is mainly due to some of our own people who do not think we ought to let such things as these interfere with our pleasures and in the meantime their pockets. It is said that white people, in commenting on the fact that the colored people were ignoring the railroads said: "It will be only for a short time and the 'niggers' will forget all about it." It does seem that they knew what they were talking about, for some of them "niggers" or Negroes, as you may choose to put it have so far forgotten the outrage against them that they are willing not only to lay down their own dignity, but to plead with others to do likewise. There is a principle at stake and as long as that principle of right and justice is in the balance ever right thinking Negro ought to be willing at any sacrifice, to stand up until that principle is vindicated. No man going to acknowledge the rights of other man until he is made to do by law or otherwise. Unless we are willing to stand on our feet like men and be willing to make any sacrifice necessary for our manhood, we will not accord the rights which belong to us. And we do not deserve them either. A thing that is not worth contending for is not worth having. And if we are too tame or too pusilanimous to stand for that which belongs to us by right as well as by law, then we have no reason to complain when those rights are denied us in any form. What we need is men. —Mrs. Annie Roberts is very slick at her residence 1120 Moore St. —Sir G. H.

A Large Gathering, Happy Greetings, A Harmonious Session and Grand Results Anticipated. Dear Sisters and Friends of the Woman's Baptist State Educational Convention of Virginia: It is my privilege and very pleasant duty to greet you once more in the way of calling your attention to the approaching annual meeting of our Convention. In less than one month from now, (or Thursday, June 21st, 1906) we are to convene with the Educational Circle of the grand old historical Court Street Baptist Church, of Lynchburg, Va., Mrs. Laura S. Williams, president; Rev. J. C. Jackson, pastor. We anticipate a large gathering of the Sisterhood and friends of the Convention on this occasion, because Lynchburg is the place where we as a Convention of Christian workers, were organized and we are always too anxious to visit the place of our birth not to avail ourselves of the opportunity of doing so. We anticipate happy greetings of the sisters and friends of the Convention on this occasion, because many are looking forward to the coming of this meeting, as a place and time, where and when they expect to meet their comrades and friends, after the work of another year in the Master's Vineyard. Such meetings of co-workers cause much happiness, which they never fail to express in their greetings to one another. We anticipate a harmonious session, because the prevailing spirit that has characterized all of our proceedings, as a Convention in the past, has been that of love, peace and harmony and we see no reason why we should not expect this spirit to prevail in our coming meeting at Lynchburg. We anticipate grand results on this occasion, because there are so many things to contribute to the greatness of the results of such a meeting. A company of consecrated earnest working, christian women from all parts of the State, assembled in annual meeting with their reports of work accomplished during the Conventional year; their contributions of money collected of the Circles, Societies and friends they represent; their suggestions of plans for more work in the future; their prayers that God may still bless their efforts to accomplish work in his name; the new zeal with which each may return home from the meeting, etc. Thus it can easily be seen, that the results of such a meeting must be grand. If the sisters and friends of our Convention will do their duty in the different ways, they can contribute to the success of our Lynchburg meeting we shall have a realization of all our above mentioned antifailations. All of the objects to which I would call your special attention and which you should remember in your contributions sent to our annual meeting, are mentioned in the letter form of our minutes, except one and that is the "Lallia Bowling Monument Fund," which is an object very dear to all of us. Sister Bowling (you know) was the first President of our Convention. The Convention voted at our last meeting, to erect a monument to her memory within the next few years and that a place should be given in our letter form for contributions to this object. This, in some way, seems to have been overlooked so that it is not mentioned in our letter form, but we should contribute to it this year just the same. Each letter sent to our annual meeting with money for the work fostered by the Convention, should have the following words written in it: "For the L. B. M. Fund," followed by a donation to that object. Our contributions to Virginia Theological Seminary and College should be as large as possible this year, for it needs just now, all the aid that we can give to it. Of course, we must not fail to do our duty toward meeting our Conventional expenses, our Foreign Mission work and the National Publishing Board. We ought to raise $1000 at our meeting this year for the above mentioned objects. We can do so, if we try. Let us try. The pastors and brethren of the Churches in sympathy with our work will help us, I think, if we appeal to them. Will you not brethren? I appeal to you. We would like to see you at our Lynchburg meeting, but if you do not attend, please send a contribution and thus help us raise $1000 at that meeting. Your sister in the Lord, ELIZA P.

JUNE 9TH, 1906 STORIES OF CAMP AND WAR How Stonewall's Cavalry Took Manas sas and the Soldiers Divided the Rich Plunder. Allen C. Redwood, the artist, was "With Jackson's Foot Cavalry at the Second Manassas," and from his account in the Century we quote as follows: "All this time we had the vague notions as to our objective; at first we had expected to strike the enemy's right flank, but as the march prolonged itself a theory obtained itself that we were going to the valley. But we threaded Thoroughfare Gap, heading eastward, and in the morning of the third day (August 27) struck a railroad running north and south—Pope's line of communication and supply. Manassas was ours! "What a prize it was! Here were long warehouses full of stores; cars loaded with boxes of new clothing en route to Gen. Pope, but destined to adorn the 'backs of his enemies'; camps, sutlers' shops—no eating up' of good things. In view of the abundance it was no easy matter to determine what we should eat and drink and wherewithal we should be clothed; one was limited in his choice to only so much as he could transport, and the one thing needful in each individual case was not always readily found. However, as the day wore on, an equitable distribution of our wealth was effected by barter, upon a crude and irregular tariff in which the rule of supply and demand was somewhat complicated by fluctuating estimates COWBOYS AN EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF OUR WEALTH WAS EFFECTED BY BARTER. of the imminence of marching orders. A mounted man would offer large odds in shirts or blankets for a pair of spurs or a bridle; and while in anxious quest of a pair of shoes I fell heir to a case of cavalry half-boots, which I would gladly have exchanged for the object of my search. For a change of underclothing and a pot of French mustard I owe grateful thanks to the major of the Twelfth Pennsylvania cavalry, with regrets that I could not use his library. Whiskey was, of course, at a high premium, but a keg of 'lager'—a drink less popular then than now—went begging in our company. "But our brief holiday was drawing to a close, for by this time Gen. Pope had some inkling of the disaster which lurked in his rear. When some time after dark, having set fire to the remnant of the stores, we took the road to Centerville, our mystification as to Jackson's plans was complete. Could he actually be moving on Washington with his small force, or was he only seeking to escape to the mountains? The glare of our big bonfire lighted up the country for miles, and was just dying out when we reached Centerville." COMMODATING SENTINEL One of the Amusing Incidents of the War Which Brightens Up More Somber Phases. The colonel of an Alabama regiment which served through the rebellion, says some one in the Grand Army Sentinel, was famous for having everything done in military style. Once, while field officer of the day, going on his tour of inspection he came upon a sentinel sitting on the ground with his gun entirely taken to pieces. The following dialogue then took place: Colonel—Don't you know that a sentinel while on duty should always keep on his feet? Sentinel (without looking up)—That's the way we used to do when the war began, but that's outlawed long ago. Colonel (beginning to doubt if the man was really on duty)—Are you The sentinel here: Sentinel—Well, I'm a sort of sentinel. Colonel—Well, I'm a sort of officer of the day. Sentinel—Well, if you'll hold on till I sort of git my gun together I'll give you a sort of salute. MIKE'S GREAT SCHEME. Hew He Planned to Secure Easy Pleasure When Freed from Army Discipline. "The boys in the army," said the captain, in spinning his yarn in the Chicago Inter Ocean, "were always talking about what they would do when the war was over and they were at home. They would never, so help them gracious, march a single mile. They would let the other fellows do the walking and they would ride. They swore by the great horn spoon that they would never wear a uniform of any sort, and they would never take orders from any man. They would fight shy of all organization and discipline and would do as they darned please for all the rest of their lives. "Michael Higgins, of our company, went further than this. He knew what he would do when he got home. He would buy a farm in the rolling country and build him a fine house with beds or lounges in every blessed room. He would sleep whenever he wanted to. He would hire a bugler and a drummer to come under his window every morning to play revelie. Just as they would get a fair start he would get out of bed, open the window, and say to their faces: "To the divil wid ye, ye blatherin' spalpeens. Stop yer noise and get out of this quick." Then the drummer and the bugler would sneak away and Mike would go back to bed and rejoice that army days were over. "This was Mike's idea of revenge on those who had made a business of waking him up in the army. He would take solid comfort in being waked up that he might order the bugiers and drummers to get out. We had a lieutenant who was almost as bad as Mike. He declared time and again that he would buy an island far out in the Pacific, where he could never by any chance see a soldier or a gun or hear a shot fired. He entered the regular army in 1866, worked his way to the rank of major, and was wounded on San Juan hill in 1898. "Even the major general commanding our division declared that when peace was declared he would retire to his old college town, seek the appointment of president of some university or college, and eschew politics and military affairs. But he was elected governor of his state before he left the army, was appointed a member of Grant's first cabinet, was later appointed president and receiver of a great railroad, was elected to congress, and did not become president of a law college until many years had passed. "Most of the men who swore they never would join any organization became members of the G. A. R. and kept alive their old comradship. Many of the men who declared they never would march a mille or carry a knapack went afoot to Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska with knapsacks on their backs. In 1865 I met scores of them traveling across the country sleeping out of doors as they did in the army, and too often foraging off the country as they did in war times. When I took the stage in Iowa I found four well-dressed, quiet fellows in the choice seats. They apparently were unacquainted with each other, and had little to say. They impressed me as successful business men well up in the ways of the world. "The second night out we learned that the hotel where we expected to spend the night had been burned down, and that the only other hotel in the small town was more than full. When we asked for accommodations, the worried landlord said he had from four to eight people in every bedroom, that he had given up the dining-room to four ladies, that his parlor was in possession of people sleeping on the floor, and there wasn't a place for us. Thereupon one of my travelling friends said: 'What about the office floor here? Has anyone rented that?' The landlord said it was at our service, if we could sleep on the bare floor. "First one and then another and another of the travelers said as he had spent four years in the army he could sleep anywhere. The fourth man said: 'The same here, and I fell in with: 'I am just out of the service.' Then, much to the surprise of the landlord, the quintet of soldiers spread newspapers on the floor, took blankets out of their packs, and were soon settled comfortably for the night. The next morning each one declared that he had sworn that he would never do such a thing as he had done that night, and that he had cut away from all army associations and habits. Each felt that he had had enough of roughing it, but in the next two weeks we did as much roughing it to the square inch as we ever did in the army. "One night an old farmer said we might sleep in his barn if we wouldn't smoke. I said at once that I had had the honor of sleeping in Col. Reedy's barn down at Reedyville, Tenn., and the farmer, holding out his hand, said: "By hokey, so did I, but my barn is better than Reedy's was at that time, because it is cleaner and has more hay in it, and it won't be necessary to sleep on your rifles." Looking at the man closely, I saw he was one of my old company, and, overjoyed at the meeting, the man who had slept in Reedy's barn made us comfortable in his own barn, bringing from his little house arm load after arm load of bed clothes. The next morning he reclaimed at breakfast that his experiences in Nebraska had been as tough as anything he had struck in the army. We all came to the conclusion—that our experience as soldiers had prepared us to do nearly everything better than we could have done without that experience." Subscribe to the PLANET. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA TEMPERANCE NOTES BOYS WANTED. A Factory That Guarantees Everything It Produces—Run by T. H. E. Devil. We want boys—must have them. Our business depends on having boys. No boys, no business. At the present rate of demand, to keep up the supply we need 2,000,000 this generation; on an average, one in every five families furnishes a boy. Our business is such they are as necessary as saw logs to a sawnill, or wheat to a flour mill. We expect to operate one of our factories at —, because of the nearness to where we can get boys. To do this it is necessary to have a majority of the resident freeholders of this township to petition for our agent to open up business on a certain site and to certify that he is of respectable character and standing in the community. We can allow only good men to run our business, so says the laws of the United States. Of course, if we locate by your request, we naturally infer you are in sympathy and will help furnish the boys. We manufacture boys into drunkards, murderers, criminals, paupers and fill our jails, penitentiaries and asylums, and flood the land with prostitution and vice. Our business is to populate hell and work against home, heaven and purity. We are a success. Try us. Our records, as per statistics in the United States, is that 60,000 persons drop into a drunkard's premature grave every year. We send out 30,000 cases of alcoholism alone. We cause 50,000 suicides yearly, and the murder of 10,000 babes less than one week old. We are a success at destruction of homes and damnation of souls. Give us your patronage by a majority petition in this township and send us your boys. We will do the rest. We assure you that we will make our factory a success in the population of hell from this township. We will send your boys home of nights full of distilled damnation, shooting off revolvers, whooping and yelling; others ready to beat their wives—do most anything low, vile and wicked. Our agent will present papers. One church member signer is worth more to us than a hundred common slainers. Sunday-school teachers very acceptable. A Judas who kisses his Master and opens the way for me into the church is dear to my fatherly heart. Yours in co-operation against God Heaven, home and purity. T. H. E. DEVIL. —American Issue POOR PARIS. From the Paris Revue Bleue, translated for Public Opinion, we learn that Paris has only 17,000 bakers and 14,500 butchers, but it has 33,000 saloons. In the whole of France 160,000 persons are employed in making bread, but 500,000 are employed in saloons. An additional fact is that one-twentieth of the voters of the country are employed in this business. All these saloons are gambling resorts. The saloons pay the city taxes. The average amount of liquor consumed in France per head is nine quarts. France, according to this authority, consumes 60,000,000 gallons of bitters and absinthe in addition to her tremendous direct liquor bill. Rewards for Temperance Workmen. A large firm in Westphalia has for some years made a practice of giving money prizes to those of its workmen who are abstainers for a longer or shorter time. The tariff is as follows: One month's abstinence gains a prize of one mark (a shilling English money), five months' abstinence gains six marks, ten months' gains 12 marks, 12 months' gains 25 marks. An appeal is made to the good faith of the workmen by awarding these prizes on their simple written declaration of abstinence for the prescribed period. Since 1896 nearly 400 of these rewards have been given, and no case is known of any workman having perjured himself—National Advocate. Negro Sold with Saloon When the saloon of Frank N. Castleman, at berryville, Va., was sold to W. A. Harford & Co. a few days ago, an old colored man, Dan Robinson, was included in the inventory of the whiskies and wines and regularly sold with the saloon and its contents. The bill of sale stipulated that the negro was to be sold along with the saloon and its contents. Robinson has been attached to Castleman's saloon for a quarter of a century. Such a transaction has not been made in Virginia since the days of slavery. A Vital Relationship Temperance and economics are vitally related. The $1,000,000,000 invested in the liquor traffic of all kinds is just as much capital withdrawn from investment in useful industry and invested in that which makes for poverty, misery and crime. The 364,000 persons employed in all branches of the liquor business are just so many persons withdrawn from occupations that make for the true wealth and upbuilding of society and engaged in that which demoralizes and degrades.

As to the investigation of the alleged use of dyes, preservatives, or chemicals in the preparation of cured meats, sausages and canned goods we are not yet prepared to report. We did look into the matter of the handling of the meat being prepared for cured meats and products. The results of our observations have already been partly given. Other instances of how products may be made up, and still secure the stamp of government inspection are here given. In one instance, fresh meat being sheaved into barrels, and a regular proportion being added of stale scraps that had lain on a dirty floor in the corner of a room for some days previous. In another establishment, fresh meat being sheaved into covered with several hundred pounds of cooked scraps of beef and other meats. Some of these meat scraps were dry. leathery and unfit to be eaten; and in the heap were found pieces of pig skin and even some bits of rope strands and other rubbish. Inquiry evoked the frankness of the man in charge that this was to be ground up and used in making "potted hum." All of these canned products bear in bels of which the following is a sample: ABATTOIR NO..... The contents of this package have be inspected according to the act of Congress March 3, 181. QUALITY GUARANTEED The pharaseology of these labels is wholly unwarranted. The government inspectors pass only upon the healthfulness of the animals at the time of killing. They know nothing of the processes through which the meat has passed since this inspection. The legend "Quality guaranteed" is wholly unjustifiable. It devalues and is plainly designed to deter the average purchaser, who naturally intends to purchase the government guarantees the contents of the can to be what it purports to be. In another establishment plies of sausage and dry moldy canned meats, admittedly several years old were found, and the government stated to us would be tanked under the greater grease. The disposition to be made of this was wholly optional with the superintendents, as the government does not concern itself with the disposition of meats, and have passed inspection to the killing floor with chemicals, mixed with other meats turned out in any form of meat product desired and yet the packages or receptacles in which it was to be shipped out to the public would be marked with a label indicating the entermined inspection. It is not alleged here that each use was to be made of this stuff. The case is pointed out as one showing the glaring opportunity for the misuse of a label bearing the name and guaranty of the United States government. Treatment of Employes. The lack of consideration for the health and comfort of the laborers in the Chicago stock yards seems to be a direct consequence of the system of administration that prevails. Under this system, laborers are required to maintain health and comfort of the employees is impossible and the consumer suffers in consequence. The insatiable conditions in which the laborers work and the feverish pace which they are forced to maintain are so severe that the soldiers state that tuberculosis is disproportionately prevalent in the stock yards and the victims of this disease expectate on the spongy wooden floors of the dark work rooms, from which falling debris can be converted into toys. Even the ordinary decencies of life are completely ignored. In practically all cases the doors of the toilet rooms open directly into the working rooms, the bedrooms, the kitchen, the living room, join, and the entrances are sometimes no more than a foot or two apart. In other cases there are no privies for women in the rooms in which they work, and to reach the nearest it is necessary to go upstairs. In one noticeable instance the privy for the women working in several adjoining rooms was in a room in which men chiefly were employed, and every girl going to use this had to pass by the working room. In one noticeable instance the privy, the door of which was not six feet from the working place of one of the men operatives. As previously noted, in the privies for men and women alike there are no partitions, but simply a long row of open seats. Rest rooms, a short rest, were found as rare exceptions, and in some establishments women are even placed in charge of privies chiefly for the purpose, it was stated, to see that the girls did not absent them, and a short rest, were found as rare exceptions of visiting them. In some instances what was called a rest room was simply one end of the privy partitioned by a six-foot partition from the remaining enclosure. A few girls were found using the rest room, but at the only available place in which to sit to eat their luncheon. The report then urges compulsory examination after slaughter; inspection of goats for foreign or interstate commerce; increase of inspectors for night inspection and special work; legislation prohibiting declarations of government inspection on food products unless subject to government inspection at every stage of preparation; prohibiting interstate transportation of any meat or meat food products not inspected and labeled; urges considering the question of specific labelling of all carcasses sold as fresh meat which upon examination after slaughtering show signs of disease but are still deemed suitable for food; and recommends study of inspection standards of other countries. PACKERS IMPROVE CONDITIONS Chicago, June 6.—The Tribune says: One of the immediate effects of the president's disclosure of packing house conditions was seen in an attempt in at least three of the big plants to remedy the conditions condemned in the report. Toilet arrangements were renovated, floors cleaned, walls were scraped and light and ventilation improved. The surroundings of the workers in these three plants were improved 50 per cent. in one day. Besides renovating the plumbing the packing companies put up a variety of stairs all over the plants enjoining clean lines. BORS AND INTEREST THEM IN THE PLANET. WE WILL HELP YOU TO OBTAIN A PREMIUM.

Kittanning, Pa., June 6.—Edward Ralston, of Eldersridge, near here, is dying from a stab with a hat pin received while separating two girls who were quarrelling over the result of a ball game in which partisan feeling ran high. The game was between two teams from neighboring towns, and after the game the girl supporters of the defeated team attempted to take the colors away from the adherents of the victors. It was while separating two of the combatants that Ralston received the stab wound. It is not known who wielded the weapon, and physicians say Ralston cannot recover. $3000 Deward For Briber.

Richmond, Va., May 16, 1906. To all who are interested in the advancement of the Negro Race: The Second Semi-Annual Session of the Negro Business League of Virginia will be held in Newport News, Va., June 13th and 14th, 1996 at the True Reformers' Hall. The object is to inform the world the best we may, of the progress of the Negro in Virginia is making in business, to stimulate local business enterprises, to encourage our people along lines of commercial undertakings and to particularly influence the young men and women of our race by examples of others, and further to formulate plans to have a creditable representation of the Negro business men of Virginia, at the 7th Annual Convention of the National Negro Business League to be held at Atlanta, Ga, this year.

We would advise most of our read- ‘ers to make @ study of cow peas, for on many of our farms they will be found available. Cow peas are among the most interesting farm plants that we have. This was until quite re cently considered a plant adapied to the United States south of the Ohio river, but within a few years cow peas have been raised as far north 4s Michigan and Wisconsin. They have ripened seed as far north as Madison. They make a good crop for plowing under when the soil {s deft cent In humus and needs some green manure. They have a large leaty top. A man must choose, however, the varlety sulted for his purpose. If he intends to plow them under he must use a non-running variety, as the Jong vines of the running varieties cannot be easily plowed under, for ‘obvious reasons. ‘The cow pea makes a good hay, but must be cut early or the leaves will fall off. As a hay crop {i ts being displaced by the soy bean. South of central [llinols cow peas may be grown much more successfully than north of that point, where the frosts come early.

GERMS ON THE FARM. Some Are a Detriment, Some a Bene fit—Use Latter to Fight the Former. | In the poptlar acceptance of the term, a germ is aay very mugute .tv- ing being; Wuether animal or \¢e- table, ts tmmaterial “toey are ou aa- visible to the nase eye, and sonie of them are so smai as wo be seen wala great difficulty even with the most powerful micrvocupes made. They are, weneraly, tae smanest fiving vuings im the world. Tae veetabie cerms are called bacteria and rungl; the aaimal serms, protorns While so exceed- sngly smail, the «fe histories of many germs are os weit haown as the lives of higher forms oi fe, and set, the earnest study of these minute beings does not extend back much more than 25. years In a general way, the great purpose of germs in the world may be sald to hasten decay. indeed, some scien- tists say there is no decay where germs are not. These tnvissdie forms quickly convert dead animais and veg- etable structures into earth, woter and air, orn other words, into the sim- ple compounds of earth and water, Warmth and moisture promote germ growth and hence, decay. The first purpose of germ lite is beneficial. A second action is also utilized by menkind. In the matnu- trition and ripening of certain prod- ucts, germs are the active agents, Tiss, eream and cheese ure ripened, before use, through bacterial action. The ripening of wine and beer due tc sim- Mar action. Beef ts made tender, and the flavor of game Is developed in the same manner, by germ growth in the tissues. The fermentation of cabbave into sauerkraut is another ilustration along the same line, and bread 4s “raised” through germ activity tn yeast. Again, bacteria (or germs) are use- ful in gathering and preparing plant food in the soll. On plants of the clover and bean family, bacteria gather | {n colonies on the roots, and the roxetion Which is produced between the att and soll by these germs is the development of nitrogenous p.ant (ood.

Some germs have taiten upon the sad habit of killing plants and onimats before these would natn ity die Thus the potato rot, the black rot ta the Erape, the rot of the plum and cherry, the black knot on the plum and cherry trees, rust on grain, and other plant diseases, are caused by germs. Iu the case of animals, glanders, aydropho- bla, tuberculosis, — pleuro-pnenmonta, Jockjaw, lumpjaw, anthrax and many others, are germ diseases, Among mankind, consumption, — pneumonia, tetanus, diphtheria, scarlet and ty- Phold fevers, cholera, dysentery, small- Dox, mumps, measles, the rlental Plague, and other diseases, are caused by germs.

The long days to which there was hardly any night were just what they wanted to get in their scan- ty crop of bay, and when Osmo went away for a day's fishing it did not matter what time he came back. So fof a time all went well with them. But it chanced that Osmo went fishing one day in a distant stream and id not return. The short twilight “passed, another day dawned, but still be did not come, aud Helm! waited with ever growing anxiety for his ap- pearance. While she wondered and considered what she had better do, Helmi was not Idle. She eat outside the hut in the fong, Mxht evening. as her mother and grandmother bad done, with her spin- Bing wheel, and suddenly she heard a cuckoo calling. She looked up and saw the bird tlying to und fro, coming ever nearer. Hardly knowing what she did. she calied out to him: “Cuckoo, I would thou couldst tell me what has become of my brother!" ‘The cuckoo alighted on the roof of the house and said. “Osmo is entangled tn the nets of Louhi the Enchantress If thou wouldst see bin again thou must seek bim ‘without delay.” Heim! did not barst tnto tears or ex- claim or wring her hands. She only sat very still, thinking. When she had arranged her plans to her satisfaction, she put away her work carefully, took some bread and came out of the cot- tage, locking the door behind her and hanging the ker on a nail close by. Then she started on her journey. She knew the way to the river where ‘Osmo usually went to fish, If she did Hot find bim there she must be guided by ctrcumstances as to her next step. The way was long, but Helm! was strong and enduring and took Ite heed to the difficulties of the road. When she reached the river she saw ‘Osmo’s rod and line lying on the bank, with one or two fish fn his basket. She called out: “Oh, river, what hast thou done with my brother?” But the river answered: “Thy brother Ix not with me. ‘Thou must seek further.” Helm{ saw she must cross the river, bat she had no boat. ‘That, however, tattered Itttle, Tt was not long before she had stripped off a piece of birch bark. She laid it gently on the water, saying: “Bear me safely across, dear birch, that I may find Osmo.” She stepped {nto her canoe and was swiftly borne to the other side. As she sprang on shore the bark called to ber: “Leave me not behind, maiden. I may serve thee yet.” So she roiled up the bark and carried itaway, Soon she came to the edge of @ pine forest. It was very dark and gloomy, for the sun bed disappeared and twilight was settling down. She had heard dreadful tales of the strange creatures inhabiting the forest and was very unwilling to enter it, but she saw Osmo's footsteps among the pine needles at her feet and went boldly on. No sooner was she fairly within their shadow than the trees, which usually stood up so straight and stiff, bent to- ward her, sighing: “Fear not, maiden; we take thee un- fer our protection. So long as our Scent Is about thee thou art safe.” After traveling until It was nearly daylight again Helmt grew so tired aud bungry that she was obliged to sit down and eat some of her black bread. ‘There was a strange rumbling and grumbling sound going on all the tlme, and, after listening very carefully, Hel- mil felt sure it came from under the ground. So she laid her ear to the ground that she might, if possible, find out whet ft was. At first she could only hear a confused oolse, as if many Deople were speaking at once, but pres- ‘ently she heard a voice say: “It ts all very fine to say we must do this or that, but I tell you the pines have takea her under their protection, ‘and until sbe is out of the forest we fare helpless.” : “Then,” said another voice decidedly, “we must attack her as soon as sbe is ut of the forest.” So these were the gnomes, or ko- bolds, who dwelt in the earth and Served Loubi the Enchantress, thought “Helmi.

She started once more, look- ‘Tig ch the ground“’s she walked. =~ By the time the end of the forest came tu sight she bad made up her tind, The trees had sald, “Our scent ‘shail be about thee,” and it was clear that this was a most effectual protec- ‘tion. So she picked up as many of the fallen pine needles as she cowld and filled all her pockets as well as a little bag: she carried. Theu she smeared ber dress with the sap which was ooz- ‘ing out of some of the trees, and thus armed she left the shelter of the trees and saw the sun shining on the waters of @ large and beautiful kee, In which were a number of islands. Rounding the corner of a slope, she came snddeuly upon a group of gnomes armed with spears Upped with the sharp bones of the pike. They were so hideous that she would have been glad to ron away, but they leveled their spears and rushed toward ber. To ber joy. as soon as they were near enough to sinel) the scent of the pines ‘they ran away, howling fearfully, and disappeared into the hillside. On the edge of the lake she espled traces of a boat having been pushed off, so she launched ber piece of bireh bark once more and sailed from one Island to another, finding on each some broken twig or other token that Osme had been there before her, At last she landed at the far nide of the lake. There, at the very shore, apparently Waiting for her, sat a squirrel, who looked at ber saucily aud observed coolly: “You had better take me with you. 1 may be of use later on.” She stooped to pick him up, but be fore she could do so he had leaped on ber shoulder, crying, “Hasten!" | She hurried on for a few steps and then stopped breathless with fear, for She beard the tong arawn nowt or » wolf, The scent of the pines bad left ber now, and unless she could reach the shelter of some trees she could see in the distance she was lost. Nearer and nearer came the wolf, and faster and faster ran Helmi. She Just succeeded tn reaching the wood ‘a8 the pursuer came up, and she drop- ped on the ground exhausted. The breeze swept softly round her, and the trees murmured Joyously, “Safe, safe Under our care.” So the wolf turned away disappointed. This wood was but small, and when Helm! was halfway through it she heard a voice calling: “Help! Help!" The voice was Osmo’s, and she ran on as fast as she could and presently found bim, lying out in the burning sun, Bound band and foot in a net.

Boston Herald. WNFLUENCE OF CIGARETTE. A Certain Bar to the Success of Any Young Men in the Business World, I leave it to others to discuss the moral side of cigarette smoking. I de- nounce it simply because of its blight- ing, blasting effect upon one’s success in life; because it draws off the energy, saps the vitality and force which ought to be made to tell-th one’s career; bé- cause it blunts the sensibilities and deadens the thinking faculties; becaase {t kills the ambition and the finer in- stincts, and the more delicate aspira- tions and perceptions; because it de- stroys the ability to concentrate the mind, which is the secret cf all achieve- ment. ‘The whole tendency of the cigarette THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. the evelopment te al to al normal functions. It blights and biasts both health and morals. it not only ruins the faculties, but it unbelences the mind, as well. Many of the most pitla- ble cases of insanity In our asylums are cigarette fiends, It creates abnormal appetites, strange, undefined longings, discontent, uneasiness, nervousness, ir- ritability, and, in many, an almost ir- Tesistible inclination to crime. In fact, the moral depravity which follows the cigarette habit is romething frightful. Lying, cheating, impurity. loss of moral courage and manhood, a complete drop- ping of life's standards all along the Mnes, are its general results, A chemist, not long since, took the tobacco used In an average cigarette and soaked it in several teaspoonfuls of water and then Injected a portion of it under the skin of a cat. The cat al- most immediately went into convul- sions, and died in 15 minutes. Dogs have been killed with a single drop of nicotine. Cigarette smoking Is no longer sim- ply a moral question. The great bust- ‘ness world has taken it up as a deadly enemy of advancement, of achievement. Leading business firms all‘ over the ‘country have put the cigarette on the prohibited list. In Detroit alone, 63 /merchants have agreed not to employ the cigarette user. In Chicago, Mont- gomery Ward & Co., Hibbard, Spencer & Bartlett, and some of the other large concerns have prohibited cigarette smoking among all employes under 18 years of age, Marshall Fieid & Co., and the Morgan & Wright Tire company have this rule: “No cigarettes can be smoked by our employes.” One of the questions on the application blanks at Wanamaker's reads: “Do you use to- Bacco or elgarettes?” The superintendent of the Lindell Street railway of St. Louis says: “Un- der no circumstances will I hire a man who smokes cigarettes. He is as dan- gerous on the front of a motor as a man who drinks. In fact, he is more danger- ous; his nerves are apt to give way at any moment. If I find a car running badly, IT immediately bezin to invest!- gate to find if the man smokes cigar ettes.

TEMPERANCE HOTELS. Becoming More Popular Every Year and Are Making Money for ‘Seat Memers. Im England and on tne continent the term “Temperance Hotel” ap- pears very common in all the large cities. This shows a decided evolu- tion of public sentiment not seen in this country. The tfavéling public demand home-like quietness in hotels, which cannot be had where alcohol is sold, and a public bar maintained. In this country a few small hotels are advertised as temperance houses. But with few eaceptions they are not attractive in many ways, whether this Is the fault of the managers or the pubile, It is not clear. In London and many of the great continental cities there are hotels ‘where alcohol is net sold, and they ‘publicly appeal for patronage for = reason. Most of these hotels are crowded with persons who apprectate the comfort of a total abstinent at- mosphere. x Was the Game Worth the Shot?

When the Democrats had control o the senate, Gorman was the recognize: leader of tat body.
