Over Fourteen Hundred Delegates Present.==Rain Mars the Beauty of the Decorations.==Committees and Officers. GRAND MASTER JONES WIELDS THE GAVEL. VOL. XXIII NO 44. Grand Over F Bea GRAN The largest assemblage of colored people ever gathered in Richmond assembled last Tuesday morning, 10 A. M. at the Northside Skating Rink on North First Street. Early Monday morning and all of that day a steady stream of visitors filed to the Pythian Castle, 727 N. Third Street, where the registration books were open. The hall had been tendered the Odd Fellows free of charge for this purpose. GRAND BANQUET Monday night a Grand Banquet was tendered the officers of the B. M. C. of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows at the Pythian Castle. The sixty-seven electric lights on the front lighting up the National flag which floated from the staff in the centre of the struction made a most imposing scene. Inside, in the attractive dining hall covers were laid for 75. The line of electric lights just over the table made a most imposing scene. It was 10 A. M. when the public meeting was held at the Northside Skating Rink. Mr. W. W. Fields was master of ceremonies. He introduced in highly complimentary language teeming with encomiums of Richmond's popular chief executive. Mayor Carlton McCarthy made a characteristic speech and gave voice to friendly expressions, which en thused the delegates and caused him to be interrupted with an aplause. MAYOR McCARTHY CHEERED. At the conclusion, the Grand Master proposed three cheeses for Richmond's Mayor. It was liberally responded to. Mr. B. J. Davis of Georgia made a magnificent response to the Mayor. It was brilliant, lofty and embraced language that would have done honor to any occasion. He had the audience at the start and he held it to the finish. He was enthusiastically applauded. He was followed by Rev. R. B. Beecher Taylor who made an admirable address replete with statistical information and sound advice. He was liberally applauded. Deputy Grand Master George E. Temple of Missouri followed in a most interesting address. As he warmed up to the work, he elicited applause. THE GRAND MASTER. Most Worshipful Grand Master J. McHenry Jones was a most impressive figure. Of magnificent physique and of a pleasing personality he had the delegates with him. He is a skillful parliamentarian and is well fitted to perform the duties which devolved upon him. Ex-Most Worshipful Grand Master W. M. T. Forrester was an impressive figure. He is well known among the delegates and was the most sought for man in Richmond. MOTHER OF THE HOUSEHOLD Mrs. C. M. Robinson, P. M. N. G. and known as the mother of all Households of Ruth of America was an object of great interest to all who are interested in the order. She has a most pleasing personality. Mr. Charles H. Brooks, who was the Grand Secretary and under whose skillful management the statistical condition of the order was explained and emphasized was a most prominent figure. He is one of the best posted Odd Fellows in the United States. He is a student of men and his method of meeting members makes him friends though out the brotherhood. FLORAL EMBLEM PRESENTED Mrs. Cecilia Smith delivered an address on behalf of the Households of Ruth of Richmond. She presented a handsome floral emblem. It was announced that over 1400 delegates had registered. The main auditorium held 1070 persons exclusive of the seats on the side, corners and to the galleries of the church. All of these persons were occupied. It was a magnif cent sight from the rostrum to look into this "Sea of faces." OTHER SPEAKERS L. N. Porter, Grand Director, delivered a fine address. Delegate Taylor McKeeet of New Orleans made an address in presentation of a historic gavel to the B. M. C. The keys of the city of Richmond were presented by Ex-Most Worshipful Grand Master Wm. M. T. Forrester. As he came to the front, the scene was one of remarkable impressiveness and Most Worshipful Grand Master Jones called up the delegates to sing "For he's a Jolly Odd Fellow." It was sung with a will. He made a short eloquent address which elicited applause. The response was made by Grand Director W. L. Houston. AN ADDRESS BURIED. Grand Master Jones stated that Delegate E. P. Jones had prepared his response to the Governor. The delegates called for Mr. Jones and in response to their plea he intro- RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1906. duced him. A leaf of green was placed on that speech. Grand Master Jones was introduced by Delegate E. P. Jones. Grand Master Jones made an address giving advice to the delegates He referred to the address of the Mayor of the city and cautioned the delegates to be gentlemen everywhere. Edward H. Morris, Esq. of Chicago was introduced. He is an Ex-Most Worshipful Master. A committee of seven on credentials was appointed. THE COMMITTEE'S ZEAL The local committee of the Old Fellows in this city in its zeal went beyond the mark and secured more than enough homes for the visiting delegates. The system as arranged was well nigh perfect, but its execution was faulty for the reason that many did not live up to the rules set. When a delegate was assigned to places there was no way to make him go to the place of his assignment and it soon came to be a case where the one that captured him first got him for the week. MANY WITHOUT DELEGATES The calling of the roll disclose. the fact that there were 1423 delegates here and yet it seemed that a thousand more could have been easily accommodated, if one would judge by the crowd of persistent ladies who thronged the Pythian Castle where the registration was going on. There were few complaints from the delegates as the other arrangements were entirely satisfactory. EX-GRAND MASTER FORRESTER INJURED. Ex-Most Worshipful Grand Master W. M. T. Forrester, became slightly indisposed and went under the platform to get some air when he was painfully snagged in the head by a nail as he arose to a standing posture. Several slitches were taken in it by the doctor. He is much improved and no serious injury will result. ROLL OF OFFICERS. Geo. W. Hughes, W. Va.; Geo. W. Dawley, Penn.; W. O. Davis, Washington. D.

CONAN DOYLE, Author of "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" COPYRIGHT. 1893. BY HARPER & BROTHERS CHAPTER XXIV. fear that there are more in HAT had occurred is easily explained. The watchers in the windows at the front found that it was more than flesh and blood could endure to remain waiting at their posts while the fates of their wives and children were being decided at the back. All was quiet at the stockade and the Indians appeared to be as absorbed as the Canadians in what was passing upon the river. One by one, therefore, the men on guard had crept away and had assembled at the back to cheer the shot and to groan as the remaining canoe sped like a bloodhound down the river in the wake of the fugitives. But the savages had one at their head who was as full of wiles and resource as Du Lhut himself. The Flemish Bastard had watched the house from behind the stockade as a dog watches a rat hole, and he had instantly discovered that the defenders had left their post. With a score of other warriors he raised a great log from the edge of the forest, and, crossing the open space 'unchallenged, he and his men rushed it against the door with such violence as to crack the bar across and tear the wood from the hinges. The first intimation which the survivors had of the attack was the crash of the door and the screams of two of the negligent watchmen who had been seized and scaled in the hall. The whole basement floor was in the hands of the Indians, and De Catatat and his enemy the friar were cut off from the foot of the stairs. Fortunately, however, the manor houses of Cattaina were built with the one idea of defense against Indians, and even now there were hopes for the defenders. A wooden ladder which could be drawn up in case of need hung down from the upper windows to the ground upon the river side. De Catatin rushed round to this, followed by the friar. He felt for the ladder in the darkness. It was gone. Then, indeed, his heart sank in despair. Where could he fly to? The boat was destroyed. The stockade lay between him and the forest, and they were in the hands of the Iroqnois. Suddenly he heard a voice from somewhere in the darkness above him. "Give me your gun, lad," it said. "I see the boom of some of the heathen down by the wall." "It is I! It is I, Amos!" cried De Catatin. "Down with the ladder or I am a dead man!" "Have a care. It may be a ruse," said the voice of Du Lhut. "No, no; I'll answer for it!" cried Amos, and an instant later down came the ladder. De Catinat and the friar rushed up it, and they hardly had their feet upon the rungs when a swarm of warriors burst out from the door and poured along the river bank. It was a very small band who now held the last point to which they could retreat. Only nine of them remained—the seigneur, Du Lhut, the two Americans, the friar, De Catinat. Theuerlet the major domo and two of the censalaires. The stone staircase ran straight up from the kitchen to the main hall, and the door which had been barricaded across the lower part by two mattresses commanded the whole flight. The cards were still laid out at one end of the table, with the tricks overlapping each other, as they had left them. But there was something else there of more interest to them, for the breakfast had not been cleared away, and they had been fighting all day with hardly bite or sup. Even when face to face with death Nature still crieled out for her dues, and the hungry men turned savagely upon the laff, the ham and the cold wild duck. A little cluster of wine bottles stood upon the buffet, and these had their necks knocked off and were emptied down parched throats. For four hours sounds of riot, of dancing and of reveling rose up from the storehouse, and the smell of the open brandy casks filled the whole air. More than once the savages quarreled and fought among themselves, and it seemed as if they had forgotten their enemies above, but the besieged soon found that if they attempted to presume upon this they were as closely watched as ever. The major domo Theuriet, passing between a loopnoe and a light, was killed instantly by a bullet from the stockade, and both Amos and the old seigneur had narrow escapes. Slowly the light crept up the eastern sky, a little line of pearl, then a band of pink, broadening, stretching, spreading, until it shot its warm color across the heavens, tingeing the edges of the drifting clouds. De Catinat stood at the window looking out when suddenly his eyes fell on a dark spot upon the river to the north of them. "There is a canoe coming up!" he cried. In an instant they had all rushed to the opening, but Du Lhut sprang after them and pulled them angrily toward the door. "Do you wish to die before your time?" he cried. "Aye, aye!" said Captain Ephraim, who understood the gesture if not the words. "We must leave a watch on deck, Amos, lad, lie here with me and be ready if they show." The two Americans and the old pioneer held the barricade, while the eyes of all the others were turned upon the approaching boat. A groan broke suddenly from the only surviving censoria. "It is an Iroquois canoe!" he cried. "Impossible!" "Alas, your excellency, it is so, and it is the same one which passed us last night." "Ah, then the women have escaped them." "I trust so. But, alas, seigneur, I TWO W fear that there are more in the canoe now than when they passed us." The little group of survivors waited in breathless anxiety while the canoe sped swiftly up the river, with a line of foam on either side of her and a long forked swirl in the waters behind. They could see that she appeared to be very crowded, but they remembered that the wounded of the other boat were aboard of her. On she came, and, until as she came abreast of the fort she swung round, and the rowers raised their paddles and burst into a shrill yell of derision. The stern of the canoe was turned toward them now, and they saw that two women were seated in it. The one was Onega and the other Adele. Charles de la Noue, soigneur de Ste Marie was a hard and self contained man, but a groan and a bitter curse burst from him when he saw his Indian wife in the hands of her kinsmen, from whom she could hope for little mercy. Yet even now his old fashioned courtesy to his guest had made him turn to De Catinat with some words of sympathy, when there was a clatter of wood, something darkenel the light of the window, and the young soldier was gone. Without a word he had lowered the ladder and was clambering down it with frantic haste. Then, as his feet touched the ground, he signaled to his comrades to draw it up again, and, dashing into the river, he swam toward the canoe. Without arms and without a plan, he had but the one thought, that his place was by the side of his wife in this the hour of her danger. But there was another whose view of duty led him from safety into the face of danger. All night the Franciscan had watched De Cathat as a miser watches his treasure, filled with the thought that this heretic was the one little seed which might spread and spread until it choked the chosen vineyard of the church. He, too, clambered down at the very heels of his prisoner and rushed into the stream not ten spaces behind him. And so the watchers at the window saw the strangest of sights. There in midstream lay the canoe, with its burden of dark warriors, and the two women crouching in the midst of them. Swimming madly toward them was De Catinat, rising to the shoulders with the strength of every stroke, and behind him again was the tonsured head of the friar, with his dark capot and long trailing gown floating upon the surface of the water. But in his zeal he had thought too little of his own powers. He was a good swimmer, but he was weighed and hampered by his unwieldy clothes. Slower and slower grew his stroke and lower and lower his head until at last, with a great skriff of "In manus tuas, Domine," he threw up his hands and vanished in the swirl of the river. A minute later the watchers, hoarse with screening to him to return, saw De Catinat pulled aboard the Iroquois canoe, which was instantly turned and continued its course up the river. "My God!" cried Amos hoarsely, "They have taken him! He is lost!" "I have seen some strange things in these forty years, but never the like of that!" said Du Lhut. The selgurne took a little pinch of snuff from his gold box and flicked the wandering grains from his shirt front with his dainty lace handkerchief. "M. de Catinat has acted like a gentleman of France," said he. Du Lhut glanced round him and shook his head. "We are only six now," said he. "I fear that they are up to some deviltry because they are so very still." "They are leaving the house!" cried the censitaire, who was peeping through one of the side windows. "What can it mean? Holy Virgin, is it possible that we are saved? See how they throng through the trees! They are making for the canoe." On the river the single Iroquois canoe, which held the captives, was speeding south as swiftly as twenty paddles could drive it; but, save this one dark streak upon the blue stream, not a sign was to be seen of their enemies. "By my faith, I believe that they have gone!" cried the seigneur. "Take care that it is not a ruse," said Du Lhut. "Why should they fly before six men when they have conquered sixty?" But the censitaire had looked out of the other window, and in an instant he was down upon his knees, with his hands in the air and his powder blackened face turned upward patterning out prayers and thanksgivings. His five comrades rushed across the room and burst into a shriek of joy. The lower reach of the river was covered with a flotilla of canoes, from which the sun struck quick flashes as it shone upon the musket barrels and trappings of the crews. Already they could see the white coats of the regulars, the brown tunics of the coureurs de bols and the gaudy colors of the Hurons and Algonquins. On they swept, dotting the whole breadth of the river and growing larger every instant, while far away on the southern bend the Iroquois canoe was a mere moving dot, which had shot away to the farther side and had lost itself presently under the shadow and had lost itself presently under the minute and the survivors were out upon the bank waving their caps in the air, while the prows of the first of their rescueers were already grating upon the pebbles. In the stern of the very foremost canoe sat a wizened little man with a large brown wig and a gift headed rapier laid across his knees. He sprang out as the keel touched bottom and, rushing up to the seigneur, flung himself into his arms. "My dear Charles," he cried, "you THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA THE CANADIAN INDIANS Swimming madly toward them was De Catinat. have held your house like a hero." "I knew that you would not desert a comrade, Chambly. We have saved the house, but our losses have been terrible. My son is dead. My wife is in that Iroquois canoe." The commander of Fort St. Louis pressed his friend's hand in silent sympathy. "The others arrived all safe," he said at last. "Only that one was taken on account of the breaking of a paddle. Three were drowned and two taken. There was a French lady in it; I understand, as well as madame." "Yes, and they have taken her husband also." "Ah, poor souls! Well, if you are strong enough to join us, you and your friends, we shall follow after them without the loss of an instant. Ten of my men will remain to guard the house and you can have their canoe." CHAPTER XXV Catinat harshly when they dragged him from the water into their canoe. So incomprehensible was it to them why any man should voluntarily leave a place of safety in order to put himself in their power that they could only set it down to madness, a malady which inspires awe and respect among the Indians. Two warriors passed their hands over him to be sure that he was unarmed, and he was then thrust down between the two women, while the canoe darted in toward the bank to tell the others that the garrison of Fort St. Louis was coming up the stream. Adele was deadly pale, and her hand, as her husband laid upon it, was as cold as marble. "My darling," he whispered, "tell me that all is well with you—that you are unhurt." "Oh, Amory, why did you come? Why did you come, Amory?" "How could I stay behind when I knew that you were in their hands? We have gone through so much together that we cannot part now. What is death, Adele? Why should we be afraid of it?" "I am not afraid of it." "And I am not afraid of it. Things will come about as God wills, and what He wills must in the end be the best." "Tell me, monsieur," said Omega, "is my lord still living?" "Yes, he is alive and well." "It is good. He is a great chief, and I have never been sorry, not even now, that I have welded with one who was not of my own people. But, ah, my son! Who shall give my son back to me? Ere that sun shines again we shall all be dead, and my heart is glad, for I shall see my boy once more." The troopos paddlers had bent to their work until a good ten miles lay between them and Ste. Marie. Then they ran the canoe into a little creek upon their own side of the river and sprout out of her, dragging the prisoners after them. Then, after a short council, they started through the forest, walking in single file, with their three prisoners in the middle. There were fifteen warriors in all, eight in front and seven behind, all armed with muskets and as swift footel as deer, so that escape was out of the question. They could but follow on and wait in patience for whatever might befall them. All day they pursued their dreary march. Omega had the endurance of the Indians themselves, but Adele, in spite of her former journeys, was foot-sore and weary before evening. It was a relief to De Catatin, therefore, when the red glow of a great fire beat suddenly through the tree trunks and they rame upon an Indian camp in which was assembled the greater part of the war party which had been driven from Ste. Marie. Here, too, were a number of the squaws who had come from the Mohawk and Cayuga villages in order to be nearer to the warriors. Wigwams had been erected all round in a circle, and before each of them were the kettles, slung upon a tripod of sticks, in which the evening meal was being cooked. In the center of all was a very fierce fire, which had been made of brushwood placed in a circle so as to have a clear space of twelve feet in the middle. A pole stood up in the center of this clearing, and something all mottled with red and black was tied up against it. De Catatin stepped swiftly in front of Adele that she might not see the dreadful thing. "They have begun already, then," said Omega composedly. "Well, it will be our turn next, and we shall show them that we know how to die." "They have not ill used us yet," said De Catinat. "Perhaps they will keep us for ransom or exchange." The Indian woman shook her head. "Do not deceive yourself by any such hope," said she. "When they are as gentle as they have been with you it is ever a sign that you are reserved for the torture. Your wife will be married to one of their chiefs, but you and I must die." "Married to an Iroquois!" Those dreadful words shot a pang through both their hearts which no thought of death could have done. De Catinat's head dropped forward upon his chest, and he staggered and would have fallen had Adele not caught him by the arm. "Do not fear, dear Amory," she whispered. "Other things may happen, but not that, for I swear to you that I shall not survive you." As they entered the Iroquois village the squawns and warriors had rushed toward them, and they walked through a double line of hideous faces, which jeered and glibed and howled at them as they passed. Their escort led them through this rabble and conducted them to a hut which stood apart. An instant later an old war chief, accompanied by two younger braves and by the bearded half Dutch Iroquois who had led the attack upon the manor house, strolled over and stood in the doorway, looking in at the prisoners. The Bastard was smoking a stone pipe, and yet it was he who talked the most, arguing apparently with one of the younger savages, who seemed to come round at last to his opinion. Finally the old chief said a few short stern words, and the matter appeared to be settled. "And you, you beldarn." said the Bastard in Frencht to the Iroquois woman, "you will have a lesson this night which will teach you to side against your own people." "You half bred mongrel," replied the fearless old woman, "you should take that hat from your head when you speak to one in whose veins runs the best blood of the Onondagas. You a warrior—you who, with a thousand at your back, could not make your way into a little house with a few poor husbandmen within it. It is no wonder that your father's people have cast you out." The evil face of the Bastard grew livid as he listened to the scornful words which were hissed at him by the captive. He strode across to her, and, taking her hand, he thrust the forefinger into the burning bowl of his pipe. She made no effort to remove it, but sat with a perfectly set face for a minute or more, looking out through the open door at the evening sunlight and the little groups of clattering Indians. He watched her keenly in the hope of hearing a cry or seeing some spasm of agony upon her face, but at last, with a curse, he dashed down her hand and strode from the hut. She thrust her charred finger into her bosom and laughed. "He is a good for naught!" she cried. "He does not even know how to torture. Now, I could have got a cry out of him. I am sure of it. But you monsieur, you are very white." "It was the sight of such a hellish deed. Ah, if we were but set face to face, I with my sword, he with that weapon he chose, he should pay for it with his heart's blood!" The Indian woman seemed surprised, "It is strange to me," she said, "that you should think of what befalls me when you are yourself under the same shadow. But our fate will be us I said. You are to die at the stake. She is to be given to the dog who has left us." "Adele! Adele! What shall I do?" He tore his hair in his helplessness and distraction. "No, no, fear not, Amory, for my heart will not fail me. What is the pang of death if it blinds us together?" "The younger chief pleaded for you, saying that the Mitche Maniton had stricken you with madness, as could be seen by your swimming to their canoe, and that a blight would fall upon the nation if you were led to the stake. But the Bastard said that love came often like madness among the palefaces and that it was that alone which had driven you. Then it was agreed that you should die and that she should go to his wigwam, since he had led the war party. As for me, their hearts were bitter against me, and I also am to die by the pine splinters." "When is it to be?" asked De Cattat. "Now; at once. They have gone to make all ready. But you have time get, for I am to go first." "Amory, Amory, could we not die to together now?" cried Adele, throwing her arms round her husband. "If it be sin, it is surely a sin which will be forgiven us. Let us go, dear. Let us leave these dreadful people and this cruel world and turn where we shall find peace." The Indian woman's eyes flashed with satisfaction. "You have spoken well, White Lily," said she. "Why should you wait until it is their pleasure to pluck you? See! Already the glare of their fire beats upon the tree trunks, and you can hear the howlings of those who thirst for your blood. You have said rightly, White Lily. There hes the only path for you." "But how to take it?" Omega glanced keenly at the two warriors who stood as sentinels at the door of the hut. They had turned away, absorbed in the horrible preparations which were going on. Then she rummaged deeply within the folds of her loose gown and pulled out a small pistol with two brass barrels and double triggers in the form of winged dragons. It was only a toy to look at, all carved and scrolled and graven with the choicest work of the Paris gunsmith. For its beauty the seigneur had bought it at his last visit to Quebec, and yet it might be useful, too, and it was loaded in both barrels. "I meant to use it on myself," said she as she slipped it into the hand of De Catain. "But now I am minded to show them that I can die as an Onondaga should die and that I am worthy to have the blood of their chiefs in my veins. Take it, for I swear that I will not use it myself unless it be to fire both bullets into that Bastard's heart." A flush of joy shot over De Catain as his fingers closed round the pistol. Here was indeed a key to unlock the gates of peace. Adele laid her cheek against his shoulder and laughed with pleasure. "You will forgive me, dear?" he whispered. "Forgive you! I bless you and love you with my whole heart and soul." you with my whole heart and soul." They had sunk on their knees together when three warriors entered the hut and said a few abrupt words to their country woman. She rose with a smile. "They are waiting for me," said she. "You shall see. White Lilly, and you also, monsieur, how well I know what is due to my position. Farewell, and remember Onega." "Now, Amory," whispered Adele, closing her eyes and nestling still closer to him. He failed the pistol, and then, with a quick sudden intaking of the breath, he dropped it and knelt with glaring eyes, looking up at a tree which faced the open door of the hut. It was a beech tree, exceedingly old and gnarled, with its bark banging down in strips and its whole trunk spotted with moss and mold. Some ten feet above the ground the main trunk divided into two, and in the fook thus formed a hand had suddenly appeared, a large reddish hand, which shook frantically from side to side in passionate discussion. The next instant as the two captives still stared in amazement the hand disappeared behind the trunk again, and a face appeared in its place, which still shook from side to side as resolutely as its forerunner. It was Captain Ephraim Savage of Boston. And even as they stared and wondered a sudden shrill whistle burst out from the depths of the forest, and in a moment every bush and thicket and patch of brushwood was spruffing fire and smoke, while the snarl of the muskety ran round the whole glade, and the storm of bullets whizzed and pelted among the yelling savages. The Iroonols sentinels had been drawn in. 1 lic fired both barrels by their bloodthirsty craving to see the prisoners die, and now the Canadians were upon them, and they were hemmed in by a ring of fire. First one way and then another they rushed, to be met always by the same blast of death, until, finding at last some gap in the attack, they streamed off like sheep through a broken fence and rushed madly away into the forest. But there was one savage who had found work to do before he fled. The Flemish Bastard had preferred his vengeance to his safety. Rushing at Omega, he buried his tomahawk in his brain, and then, yelling his war cry, he waved the blood stained weapon above his head and rushed into the hut where the prisoners still knelt. De Catinnat saw him coming, and a mad joy glitten in his eyes. He rose to meet him, and as he rushed in he fired both barrels of his pistol into the Bastard's face. An instant later a swarm of Canadians sad rushed over the wetting body, the captives felt warm friendly hands which grasped their own, and, looking upon the smiling well known faces of Amos Green, Savage and Du Lhut, they knew that peace had come to them at last. And so the refugees came to the end of the toils of their journey, for that winter was spent by them in peace at Ste. Marie, and in the spring, the Iroquois having carried the war to the upper St. Lawrence, the travelers were able to descend into the English provinces and so to make their way down the Hudson to New York, where a warm welcome awaited them from the family of Amos Green. The friendship between the two men was now so cemented together by common memories and common dangers that they soon became partners in fur trading, and the name of the Frenchman came at last to be as familiar in the mountains of Maine and on the slopes of the Alleghanies as it had once been in the salons and corridors of Versailles. As to Captain Ephraim Savage, he returned safely to his beloved Boston, where he fulfilled his ambition by building himself a fair brick house upon the rising ground in the northern part of the city, whence he could look down both upon the shipping in the river and the bay. The manor house of La Ste. Marle was soon restored to its former prosperity, but its seigneur was from the day that he had lost his wife and a changed man. He grew leaner, fiercer, less human, forever heading parties which made their way into the Iroquois woods and which outvivaled the savages themselves in the terrible nature of their deeds. A day came at last when he salied out upon one of these expeditions from which neither he nor any of his men ever returned. Petty Criticism Cyrus Small's time was largely spent in discovering the faults and shortcomings of things animate and inanimate, while Mrs. Small, as it seemed, was equally vigilant in attempting to bring forward something of which she could say, "There, you can't pick any dows in that!" Once she thought this happiness would be hers. A certain man in the town inherited large wealth under peculiar circumstances. It was his under the law, but when the court awarded it to him he stood up and said that, in view of all the facts in the case, he believed that the property belonged of right to another heir. His action was generally looked upon as a noble one. Mrs. Small was loud in her expressions of praise. "Tes. I know," said her husband, "twas a fine thing. Few men would have done it, and that's why he felt so awkward to stand up there and say what he did. He showed that he felt embarrassed by the way he stood." "Cyrus Small, I should hope you would not find fault with his attitude when he was doing such a grand thing" "Oh, no; I have no wish to criticise," said Cyrus, "but if I had been on the platform, facing all those people, I should have tried to toe out a little more." The Wrong Way. The late John G. Paige had at one time as a protege the son of a very particular friend, a pleasant, gentlemanly young fellow, but always ready to make a bet or to take a hand in a quiet game, and on this account it was thought best by his parents to send him to Boston on a limited income with the hope of breaking away from old associates and of getting some business energy into him. Mr. Paige gave him some good, wholesome advice and started him along in business, particularly instructing him to "get his name before the public to let the people know he was living," etc. Not very long after this Boston debut Mr. Paige very late one evening was requested to call at a nearby police station. The young man, it appeared, had got into a very noisy game and was arrested, but not before he had been cleaned out of everything he possessed. "Well, young man," said Mr. Paige, "this is nice, isn't it?" "Well, sir, you told me to get my name before the public." "Oh, yes!"

OCTOBER 6, '06 HORTICULTURE A FARMER'S NURSERY It Is Easily Managed and Should Be a Feature of Every Farm. A small home nursery is easily managed and in many cases highly profitable. Where old orchards of good standard varieties exist, it is a comparatively simple matter to grow young trees. By planning a little ahead, the farmer may grow his own fruit trees and plant a considerable orchard at slight expense. Seeds of good quality must be preserved to grow stocks for budding or grafting. This is done by cleaning and washing them when they are removed from the fruit and allowed to dry in the sun. They may be kept over winter in a box of moist sand, or pile of leaves left out of doors. It is best to allow them to freeze, which will crack the shells sufficiently for sprouting. The seeds are sown in rows three feet wide, and three to six inches apart in the row. Stocks usually attain sufficient size to bud or graft with one year's growth. Methods of Grafting. Apples, plums and cherries may be grown by grafting, while peaches, pears and cherries are more frequently budded. Either operation requires that good sclons be obtained from healthy trees of the desired variety. This is where the farmer may make use of the good varieties of the neighborhood. In early winter, before frost has injured the twigs, cut good scions for spring grafting. Take those from the most vigorous trees, particularly from the ends of the main branches, where the buds are well developed. These may be bound into bundles and kept in the cellar until used. Buds are cut as they are needed. Grafting is a simple operation which may be learned with a little practice and may be done in the winter when other work is not crowding. The most successful graft for nursery practice is the tongue graft. The root, a, is cut, as shown in Fig. 1, with a tongue, which is fitted into a notch cut in the secon, b. The two are stuck together with the bark layers opposite and then wrapped with a cord or string. Ordinary No. 18 cotton wrapping twine is best, as it rots off by the time the graft is ready to grow. The grafts are placed in cellar until time to plant in spring. They are set six inches apart in rows three feet wide with two buds on the secon above ground. Budding is done in the summer when the secons are in most vigorous growth. The secons should be cut from strong, healthy trees. Trim the leaves as shown in Fig. 2 at a and cut off the buds as they are set. They are inserted under the bark at b, and wrapped with twine or raffa to keep them securely in place. After the buds have begun to grow vigorously, the tops of the stocks may be trimmed to stimulate growth. After once well started, says the Farm and Home, the bodios should be kept clean to prevent undue branching and make them grow tall. Good cultivation is necessary at all times. They will usually grow from one to two feet high during the first year, and if the soil is favorable, will be ready to transplant to the orchard the second autumn. SPADE DEEPLY FOR TREES Ground Should Be Well Prepared for the New Tree. When a new tree is to be set out the ground should be well prepared for it. When large plantations are to be put in, a plow may be used in the preparation of the ground. More often, however, the spade is used for preparing the ground in which trees are to be set. The depth of the spade is about ten inches, which is about four inches more than the depth of ordinary plowing. The depth of the spade, says the Farmers' Review, should be the measure used in turning over the ground for trees. The space so prepared should be ten feet or more in diameter, and this. prepared space should be increased as the tree grows. The object of the enlargement of the space is to prevent the forming of a natural water-tight basin in which water would accumulate to the detriment of the tree. To Check Tree Growth. If a tree persists in making too much wood growth, head it in severely late in the summer, about the time the wood stops growing and begins to ripen up for winter. This has a tendency to check wood growth and induce fruit bud formation. THE CODLING MOTHS. Autumn and Winter Habits of This Troublesome Enemy of the Orchard. An examination of the fruit in the fall will show how important a late spraying for the apple orchard is. The codling moth begins early and thins out the fruit by means of its first brood. This fruit is out of the way early. It drops off when less than half grown. These early larvae enter the apple at the calyx, as is well known. Later comes the moth for the second brood. She lays her eggs largely on leaves, where they do not damage, but some of them are laid on the green apples, and the larvae that hatch out enter the fruit wherever it is most convenient. So the scientists have told us, and a little observation will prove it. These worms are caught by the late July spraying. A film of polson on the apple will put an end to the worm before it can do any injury. Much has been learned about the codling moth within recent years, but there is still room for further research. The worms that hatch on the leaves eat the under side, and have been known to burrow along the midrib. There is reason to suppose that they can develop in the leaf. Is it often that they do this? That may explain why the insects are plentiful, even after a year in which there have been scarcely any apples. Not having fruit to live in, they have grown up in leaves. If this should prove to be the fact, it will be as important to spray in "off" years as when there is fruit, perhaps more so, as the larvae can be killed better on foliage than on the apples. This is an interesting question, and one which owners of orchards can assist to answer. Not only are there two broods of the codling moth during the year, but it is now considered possible that there might be three, though that many have not been actually reported. But the development of the pest differs so much in the length of time required that there are mature insects from the beginning to the end of its season. We can get along quite well without a third brood. The codling moth larvae hides away somewhere in the fall, or as soon as it leaves the apple; then spins a cocoon, but does not become a pupa till the return of warm weather. If it is in an orchard it hides in crevices of the bark, on tree trunks or under rubbish. The fewer hiding places there may be, the greater is the probability that it will be picked up by birds, fowls or predacious insects, or attacked by lechneum files before it can find winter quarters. The moral is obvious—clean up the rubbish. The coding moth came from Europe, but unfortunately did not bring its enemies with it. There are several of them, so it appears. The department of agriculture is now interested in them, and has been experimenting with several. The results have been sufficient to excite the hopes of fruit growers. In time the coding moth may go, as has already been predicted, but that time is still some distance in the future. There is as yet no safe and easy means for getting rid of the worm in apples, and there may not be till spray pumps are worn out that are still unmade. PICKING BAGS. In the northwest great paths are taken both in picking and packing, Buckets and baskets and bags are all used, and one man says that he provides his pickers with coal scuttles. The one great object is to provide packages from which the fruit cannot readily be poured into the barrel, but which must be gently and slowly unpacked. Bottomless bags are used by The Apron Picking Bag. some. In them the fruit is permitted to roll from the bottom. While these might answer with oranges, says the Rural New Yorker, they should not be used with first-class apples, as the pouring into the bag will surely bruise them. As Prof. Judson says, the average picker cannot withstand the temptation to stand up and let them shoot out of the bag when the foreman's back is turned. The best pickling bag appears to be the one shown in our illustration. This is called an apron bag, being usually made from a heavy grain sack. It hangs in from convenient for filling, and is shallow, so that the first apple can be laid in it without dropping. Both hands are free to pick, and the bag will hold all that the wearer can easily carry, yet it cannot be poured out unless the pickler stands on his head. This seems to be the best way to avoid bruising in picking and handling in the orchard. The apples are put from this apron bag into apple boxes. Those used for orchard handling have a slot in each end for a hand, and they can be easily picked up and carried to the packing shed. For this journey a spring wagon is used, or if the distance is short a stone boat is frequently employed. Reason Disclosed.

SATURDAY.....OCTOBER 6th, '06 The industrial edition of the Petersburg, Va. Index Appeal was highly creditable to that most entertising journal and it should be the beginning of a new era in the business prosperity of that enterprising city. At one time, we thought that the management had given up the project, but from the magnificent showing, it was con plaining only at the time it was making the greatest effort of its journalistic career. The Index Appeal is a strictly high class journal run on the most conservative lines. MAYOR McCARTHY'S SUGGESTION Mayor Carlton McCarthy, the distinguished and popular Chief Executive in his admirable address delivered to the B. M. C. of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows expressed his desire to see a meeting called for the purpose on the part of the colored people of this state to express their confidence in the white people of the commonwealth. We confess that we liked the idea and if it would not be misconstrued, we should heartily lead or follow the movement. If this distinguished gentleman refers to the class of liberal white people like himself, who have always believed in giving the colored people a "square deal," we tell him right here that such a movement would elicit the cordial support of every reputable citizen of color in the commonwealth. But there are designing politicians who would take it to mean as a tecit approval of all of the mischievous legislation that mischievous politicians have inflicted upon us. We know that there are white men, who regret the racial rancor that is everywhere apparent. The very method and plans and policies that were said to tend to allay racial antipathy have only aggravated it and the higher principles, the fundamental laws have been forgotten. Still, we will join in such a movement for we have implicit confidence in some of the white people in Virginia. As to some others, we would not trust a potato pie on the outside of our window sill if we wanted it and the Negro haters were coming around. When the better class of white people and the better class of colored ones decide to combine for the common good, the day of jubilee will be at hand. We are pleased to note the fact that Mayor McCarthy has decided to be the chief executive of all the people. The people of this city and state have confidence in his integrity and stern good judgment and they are assets to be value 1 and not despised. From the utterances of some of these Republican politicians around here on this race question we would sooner cast a vote for the present Mayor, or for Senator John W. Daniel, Senator Thomas S. Martin or Hon John Lamb. Yes, let us have such a meeting and let us talk about the good white folks and leave the bad ones to be disposed of by the Prince of Darkness, where suffering is primeval and pain is for evermore. "THE TRAGEDY OF COLOR." Mr. H. G. Wells, one of the most brilliant writers in this world today, who is the author of "The War of the Worlds" has been contributing a series of articles to Harper's Weekly. The title of his dissertation on the Negro question is "The Tragedy of Color." We cited extracts from it in our issue of Sept. 23d, 1906. In continuing his remarks on the lynching of three innocent colored men at Springfield, Mo., he says: It is true that in this latter case Governor Folk acted with vigor and justice and that the better element of Springfield society was evidently shocked when it was found that quite innocent Negroes had been used in these instructive pyrtechnics; but the fact remains that a large and numerically important section of the American public Joes think that fierce and cruel reprisals are a necessary part of the system of relationships between white and colored man. In our dispersed British community we have almost exactly the same range between our better attitudes and our worse—I'm making no claim of national superiority. In London, perhaps, we outdo Massachusetts in liberality; in the National Liberal Club or the Reform a black man meets all the courtesies of humanity—as though there was no such thing as color. But, on the other hand, the Cape won't bear looking into for a moment. The same conditions give the same results; a half-educated white population of British or Dutch or German ingredients greedy for gain, I controlled and feebly influenced in contact with a black population, is bound to reproduce the same brutal and stupid aggressions, the same half-honest prejudices to justify those aggressions, the same ugly, mean excuses. "Things are better in Jamaica and Barbados," said I. in a moment of pathetic weakness to Mr. Booker T. Washington. What a magnificent description! What a vivid pen-pleture and in it all this scholarly writer diplomatically criticises the English in South Africa as much so as he does the Americans in the United States, so far as their attitude relates to the races of a darker hue. He says further: "Ah! You don't know the real nigger," said one American to me when I praised the colored people I had seen. "You should see the buck nigger down South. Congo brand. Then you'd understand, sir." His voice, his face had a gleam One could see he had been brooding himself out of all relations to reality in this matter. He was a man beyond reason or pity. He was obsessed. Hatred of that imaginary diabolical "buck nigger" blackened his soul. It was no good to talk to him of the "buck" American, Packingtown brand," or the "buck Englishman, suburban race-meeting type," and to ask him if these intensely disagreeable persons justified outrages on Senator Lodge, let us say, or Mrs. Longworth. No reply would have come from him. "You dbn't understand the ouesa tion." he would have answered. "You don't know how we Southerners feel." Well, one can make a tolerable guess. The above is admirably stated. He continues under the caption of "The White Strain." I certainly did not begin to realize one most important aspect of this question until I reached America. I thought of those eight millions as men, black as ink. But when I met Mr. Booker T. Washington, for example, I met a man certainly as white in appearance as our Admiral Fisher, who is as a matter of fact, quite white. A very large proportion of these colored people, indeed, is more than half white. One hears a good deal about the high social origins of the Southern planters, very many derive indisputably from the first families of England. It is the same blood flows in these mixed colored people's veins. Just think of the sublime absurdity, therefore, of the ban. There are gentlemen of education and refinement, qualified lawyers and doctors, whose ancestors assisted in the Norman Conquest, and they dare not enter a car marked "white" and intrude upon the dignity of the rising loan-monger from Esthonia. For them the "Jim Crow" car . . . One tries to put that aspect to the American in vain. These people," you say, "are neuer your blood, nearer your temper, than any of those brightened, ringled immigrants on the East Side. Are you ashamed of your poor relations? Even if you don't like the half, or the quarter of negro blood, you might deal civilly with the three-quarters white. It doesn't say much for your faith in your own racial propotency, anyhow. . . ." The answer to that is usually in terms of mania. "Let me tell you a little story just to illustrate," said one deponent to me in an impressive undertone—"just to illustrate, you know. A few years ago a young fellow came to Boston from New Orleans. Looked all right. Dark—he explain el that by an Italian grandmother. Touch of French in him, too. Popular. Well, he made advances to a Boston girl—good family. Gave a fairly straight account of himself. Married." He paused. "Course of time—off spring. Little son." His eye made me feel what was coming. He was as as as dance very, very black!" I whispered. "Yes, sir. Black! Black as your hat. Absolutely negligal. Projecting jaw, thick lips, frizzy hair, flat nose—everything ..." "But consider the mother's feelings, sir, consider that! A pure-minded, pure white womma!" What can one say to a story of this sort, when the taint in the blood surges up so powerfully as to blacken the child at birth beyond even the habit of the pure-blooded negro? What can you do with a public opinion made of this class of ingredient? And this story of the lamentable results of intermarriage was used, not as an argument against intermarriage, but as an argument against the extension of quite rudimentary civilities to the men of color. "If you eat with them you've got to marry them," he said, an entirely fabulous post-prandial responsibility. Well, no one need doubt the force of Mr. Wells argument and the manner in which he tears to a frazzle the finest fabric of the Negro haters weaving. But it is needless to comment further. We shall let Mr. Wells tell the whole story in our next issue. THE ATLANTA HORROR There was one feature of the Atlanta, Georgia massacre that will yet command the attention of the country and incidentally will provoke discussion everywhere. It is as to where a citizen's rights end and how far he should go in the matter of surrendering his life and his liberty into the hands of irresponsible sheriffs and their deputies giving up their arms and depending solely upon these people for a safe conveyance to the insecure jails in the locality. Let us see. Two colored men, Sam McGruder and Wiley Brooks, said to be about thirty years of age were arrested Monday, Sept. 24th, 1906 by officers of the law. These colored men were placed on a street car. As they neared the corner of Crew and Jefferson Sts., the car was stopped by a mob and the colored men attacked. In the struggle the colored men escaped and ran up Crew St. with the mob in full pursuit. They ran into the yard of Commissioner Manley for refuge, being unable to out-run the mob that was steadily gaining on them. As they reached the front steps of the residence, both men fell thoroughly exhausted. The members of the mob poured shot after shot into their bodies. Blood oozed from the wounds and yet the spark of life remained. They were carried to the hospital, but their injuries were fatal. Another case in point. A colored man had armed himself and was arrested on this account on the suburbs of Atlanta. He did not carry concealed weapons. He was placed in the county jail and the next morn ing the limb of a tree was bearing human fruit, while the blood dripped slowly down from the bullet holes that had served as outlets for the soul that had gone to the God who gave it. The question arises again to what extent should colored men submit to arrest in these cases and right here comes one of the most delicate questions that has been raised in any quarter. Have we the moral right to give up our weapons of defense wered. thern- erable upon the demand of a man who is unable or unwilling to protect us with his life and in cases of this kind go to certain death or shall we fight all comers until a force sufficiently large to guarantee us protection makes its appearance? Would white men do it under similar circumstances? When a man resists, is he justified in offering such resistance? These are delicate questions and can be answered in the negative only under the well-known declaration, "Self preservation is the first law of nature." If an officer of the law has not the right to arrest unless he is able to guarantee protection from injury by outside parties, then has a citizen the right to resist and to refuse to submit to arrest until he is afforded the necessary protection? We have thought along these lines often and we have been forced to the conclusion that there is some weak place in our form of government and that some provisions should be made along these lines. The situation is getting so acute that a colored man who is attacked by the hoodlum element of the white race might as well make up his mind to die fighting. We are not of the class who believe in lying like rats in a trap. The time to fight is when one is attacked and not afterwards. There can be no mistake when fire is opened on a murderous mob even though some alleged deputy sheriffs may be among the number. In the way that parties are organized down here now a man never knows whether he is called upon to surrender by the officers of the law or by the mob, for sheriffs pick up men anywhere and call them posses. By the time a colored man makes him read his authority, he is a prisoner and a few moments later he is trying to find a landing place in the empty air. In cases of the kind previously cited, death is but death and when the mobs learn that it is not the prosecution in the courts afterwards that they have to fear, but rather the repeating rifles in the hands of the hurted citizen, be he black or white, this mania for killing innocent people will cease. When colored men follow this course, there will be no danger of estrangering our white friends by wounding or killing the innocent. The time to shoot is when you are attacked and after that to do so would be retaliation and this will do us harm. Colored men, be brave, law-abid ing, God-fearing and so polite that every white man and colored one too will respect you. We must unload the hoodlum Negro. He is an incubus upon our prosperity. Let us cultivate the friendship of the liberal minded white people and do all in our power to put the lawless colored people amongst us in the jails and penitentaries and when they commit helnous crimes, let us legally introduce them to the gallows. If we will adopt this policy our success will be assured and even if we do go to heaven in defending ourselves and our families, we can rest assured that we will have all the rights and privileges that the white folks enjoy "in that city not made with hands, but eternally in the heavens." ANNEXATION OUT OF THE QUESTION President Roosevelt Declares Cubans Will be Given Another Chance. MAY SEND C. E. MAGOON THERE Washington. Oct. 3.—President Roosevelt discussed freely with his cabinet and with individual callers, among whom were Senators Knox and Foraker, the present situation in Cuba and its temporary occupation by the American forces. The matter was talked over at the cabinet meeting, but no definite announcement of the result of the deliberations was given out. The president reiterated to the cabinet and to the other callers with whom he talked that the action taken by the American government was destined solely for the benefit of the people of the island with a view to the complete restoration of order there and the protection of American interests. He declared that he had no such motive in view as the possible annexation of the government of the island by the United States. What he wanted now was that the Cubans should be given another chance at self-government. Unless extraordinary conditions arise, no extra session of congress will be called to deal with the Cuban situation, as the president considers he has ample authority to proceed in the matter. It seems to be well settled that Governor Charles E. Magoon, of the Panama canal zone, who has just returned from Panama, will be appointed governor of the provisional government of Cuba in succession to Secretary Taft. Both the president and Secretary Taft had in view the designation of Governor Beekman Winthrop, of Foxton Rico, for this office. The president, however, has expressed the belief that he can better spare Governor Magoon from his duties in the Philippine Islands, where he has been appointed a member of the Philippine commission and vice governor general of the islands, than he can the services M. of Governor Winthrop for the several months during which he expects the provisional governorship of Cuba will continue. Governor Magoon is anxious to go to Cuba, and his selection for the place is expected to be announced soon. The president expects Mr. Taft to return to Washington in a fortnight or less. Secretary Taft cabled to the war department requesting that Brigadier General Frederick Funston be designated to command the American troops in Cuba, and the military secretary immediately issued an order to that effect. Secretary Root has been interesting himself in the Cuban situation since his return to duty in the state department, and in doing so has been going over the diplomatic correspondence that took place between Washington and Havanna before Secretary Taft was sent to Cuba by the president. It is quite likely that the correspondence will be made public in a short time, in order to give the people of both the United States and Cuba a clear idea of what efforts this government made to avoid intervention. No information has been received in Washington which indicates the length of time that the United States will occupy the island of Cuba, and none of the officials will venture a prediction on this subject, but the presumption is that it will be some time before > stable government can again be placed in power. Quartermaster. General Humphreys has concluded the charters of 11 vessels which will be used for the transportation of animals from this country to Cuba for the first expeditionary brigade. Their cargoes will consist of horses and mules and the necessary vehicles required. PALMA LEAVES HAVANA Former President of Cuba Goes to His Home in Matanzas His Home in Matanzas. Havana, Oct. 3.—The attitude of the authorities of the United States in Cuba regarding the possibilities of the present situation seemed fairly expressed when Colonel Waller, commanding the marines, remarked to the Associated Press that an ounce of prevention was worth a pound of cure. The remark was called forth by preparations that were going on at Camp Columbia to transport 450 marines from the encampment westward for the purpose of having them in adjacent towns when the first installations of General Guerra's disbanded men reach these places. While no disorder is anticipated when the former revolutionists reach their homes, the provisional government and the military authorities consider the actual military occupation of the Pinar del Rio region quite as essential as the occupation of other portions of the island and regard it best to have an American force there to insure the preservation of order. It is believed that all the revolutionists in the vicinity of Havana will have been peacefully dispersed in three days. Generals Guerra and Del Castillo are actively co-operating to this end. They thanked Governor Taft for his courtesies and discussed the projected amnesty proclamation. Governor Taft told his visitors that he would take up the subject later, not having time now to give it the necessary attention, and said that when the matter did come up he would investigate personally all cases which might require his attention in order that justice be done. While the departure from Havana of ex-President Palma was the most important event of the last 24 hours, the former president left the capital so quietly that the public did not realize he had gone until the news was given in the papers. Only his cabinet ministers and a few intimate friends accompanied the ex-president and his family to the railroad station. Some of these friends went with the family to Matanzas and did not return to Havana until they had seen the Palma family safe in the home of other friends in that city. A great crowd awaited the train at Matanzas, which is the Moderate stronghold of the island. The numbers at the station had been augmented by an excursion from Cardenas and people from the surrounding country. The provincial and municipal officers welcomed the ex-president, who was escorted to the home of Manuel Florente. Here the friends who had come over from Havana took their final farewell, leaving the Palma family to that quiet retirement which they desire. The Palmas will remain in Matanzas for some time, going later to the Valmar plantation at Bayamo, Santiago province. TWO KILLED IN RUNAWAY Meet Death in Glasgow, D.1 Wilmington, Del., Oct. 1—Dr. William T. Skinner, of Glasgow, near here, one of the best-known physicians in the state, and his daughter, Rhea, were killed in a runaway accident near their home. Dr. Skinner had just left the railroad station in a carriage with his daughter when the horse became frightened by the locomotive of a nearby train and ran away. The carriage was upset and Dr. Skinner sustained a fracture of the skull and died in a few minutes. The daughter was also injured about the head and died a short time after her father. President Woodrow, of Princeton, Could Not Leave His Work. Could Not Leave His Work. New York, Oct. 3.—The Evening Post publishes a telegram from Woodrow Wilson, president of Princeton University, saying he could not leave Princeton to take a seat in the United States senate. The Post sent the following cablegram to President Wilson: "Your name was being used as a candidate for United States senator from New Jersey. Did you authorize this?" President Wilson's reply was sent from Ambleside, England. It reads: "Did not authorize use of my name. Very much complimented that I should be thought of for senate, but could not leave my work at Princeton." BACK TO THE WHITE HOUSE President Roosevelt and Family Return to Washington. Washington, Oct. 2.—President and Mrs. Roosevelt and three of their children, Miss Ethel and Archie and Quentin, returned to Washington from their summer home at Oyster Bay, L. L, where they have spent the past three months. The president looked the picture of health as he stepped from the train and cordially greeted a number of acquaintances who were awaiting his arrival. He and Mrs. Roosevelt entered their carriage and were driven to the White House. ENGINEER ELECTROCUTED Howard Abbott Instantly Killed at Wilmington, Del. Wilmington, Del., Oct. 3.—Howard Abbott, aged 29 years, an expert electrician and engineer in the employ of the Wilmington City Electric company, was electrocuted. He received 2000 volts and died instantly. Abbott was instructing a new employee at the switchboard, when he grasped an arc light and incandescent light in each hand, the entire current passing through his body. Packers Sold Short Weight Lard. Chicago, Oct. 3.—The Onaha Packing company, Armour & Co. and Libby, McNeil & Libby were adjudged guilty of selling short weight lard, and a fine of $25 was imposed upon each firm by Justice Sheldon. The packers, through their attorney, Ralph Crews, contended that there was no violation of the law so long as the lard and its package equaled the weight of lard they purported to sell. Two Killed by Karosene Explosion AMERICAN WINS BALLOON RACE Lieutenant Lahm Victor in Paris Contest For Bennett Cup. CROSSED THE ENGLISH CHANNEL Paris, Oct. 2.—The Aero club semi-officially announced that Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm, of the Sixth United States cavalry, one of the American contestants, was the victor in the first competition for the James Gordon Bennett cup for international aeronauts. The race was started Sunday afternoon, when 15 balloons, representing seven countries, sailed away from the Tulleries Gardens, in Paris. Up to the present time, however, the performance of Lahm and Hersey, in the balloon United States, in reaching 15 miles north of Scarborough. England, is the best record attained by any one of the 15 starters. The members of the Aero club are inclined to believe that the United States was only prevented from proceeding farther because a current of air again threatened to carry her out over the North sea, with no apparent prospect, unless the direction of the wind changed, of finding land before making the coast of Norway. Crowds of prominent aeronauts were at the club house awaiting telegrams reporting arrivals. The first reports recorded the landing of five balloons in Normandy. It was then considered certain that the remainder would cross the Channel, and a few hours later came dispatches telling of the landing of the Spanish and one French balloon on the south coast of England, and the report that four others, including the United States, had passed over Hastings, going due north. In the meantime, the news of the accident to Santos Dumont aroused general sympathy, the Brazilian being very popular here. His arm was caught in the mechanism of his motor. His subsequent arrival at the Aero Club with one arm bandaged relieved the tension regarding the seriousness of his mishap. The Frenchmen were then aroused to cheerfulness at the report that Count de la Vaulx in the Walhalla had arrived at Norfolk. Later, however, when the landing at Hull of the Italian contestant, Signor Von Miller, in the Elfe, was announced it was seen that France's chances of winning had gone. Then the report of Lieutenant Lahm showed that he had reached farther north than any other starter, and it was generally thought that he would win. His balloon was in the air 23 hours. AL. ADAMS A SUICIDE Policy King Shot Himself Through the Head in New York Home New York, Oct. 2.—Albert J. Adams, who made a large fortune as the head of the policy gambling combine, shot himself in the head at his home in this city. The fatal shot was fired while Mr. Adams sat in a chair in front of a mirror in his room in his apartments in the Ansonia. The bullet passed through his head and embedded itself in the wall of a hallway adjoining the room. Death must have been instantaneous. Adams had been in poor health since his release from Sing Prison, where he served a term for having conducted a policy game in this city. Soon after his release he became president of the Guanajuato Amalgamated Gold Mines company. He was reported to be the financial backer of the firm of M. J. Sage & Co. of this city and New Jersey, the offices of which were raided in August on a complaint that the company was conducting a bucket shop. THAW MAY ESCAPE TRIAL Will Probably Be Declared Insane By Lunacy Commission. New York, Oct. 3—Harry K. Thaw, the slayer of Stanford White, will probably never be brought to trial. His case is No. 14 in a list of 28 homicide cases to be disposed of by the district attorney, and there are strong indications that a commission in lunacy will be applied for by one side or the other some time before No. 14 is reached. Clifford W. Hartridge, attorney for Thaw, said that there would be no application for a lunacy commission. He would not say, however, that he would not at some time make such an application. In this connection it is known that the associate counsel retained by Hartridge is in favor of applying for a lunacy commission. It is considered practically certain that a commission will declare Thaw insane. Several prominent alienists have already so found. RESCUED BY LIFE SAVERS Yacht With Eight Persons Aboard Nearby Swimming Off Coast Mayo Nearly Swamped Off Cape May. Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 1.—Advices received here say that the sloop yacht Fannie E. Moffitt, of Camden, with a crew of three men and eight pass- engers, was caught in a heavy sea off Cape May and that the United States life savers rescued the imperilled passengers.

FATALLY SHOT BY MOB Attempted to Storm Jail at Mobile, Ala., to Lynch Negro. Ala., to Lynch Negro. Mobile, Ala., Oct. 3—Roy Hoyle, a special officer of the Mobile & Ohio railroad and one of the most widely known men in this vicinity, was fatally shot, and Alderman Sidney Lyons, chairman of the city council of Mobile, was slightly wounded in the hand during a fight at the county jail between deputy sheriffs and a crowd of men determined to capture Dick Robinson, a young negro. The mob is still hunting the negro, and will lynch him if possible. The negro, who is only 17 years of age, attacked Ruth, the 12-year-old daughter of Blount Sossaman, who lives about three miles from here. The girl was passing a secluded spot not far from her home when she was attacked. Later she was found lying unconscious by the roadside and was taken to her home. Detectives captured the negro within three hours. The Sossaman girl at once identified him. Deputy Sheriff Fatch, as a precautionary measure, sent him to a station several miles up the Mobile & Ohio railroad. He was not taken to the jail at all, and was at least eight miles from the city when the mob approached the building. LOCKJAWFOLLOWSVACCINATION Six-Year-Old Boy Dying In Heartrending Agony. Tottenville, N. Y., Oct. 1. -Six-year-old Charles Tyan, of Stapleton, is dying in the infirmary at Tompkinsville from an attack of lockjaw caused by vaccination. On Labor Day he was vaccinated by Dr. Charles Pearson, of Tompkinsville. The boy was getting along all right until last week, when his jaws became locked and he stiffened out. Dr. Pearson ordered his removal to the infirmary, where every remedy known to the medical profession has been unavailing. He has gradually grown weaker daily, and Sunday he was seized with convulsions. The intense suffering of the child is heartrending. DROPPED DEAD AT FUNERAL Woman Expires in Church During the Services. Scranton, Pa., Oct. 2.—Mrs. Hartin Kilmer, of East Scranton, dropped dead while attending the funeral of her brother-in-law in the Moosic M. E. church.

THE PLANET SATURDAY.....OCTOBER 6th, '06 ROAD AND FARM IMPROVEMENT WHEAT MIDGE. Description and Habits of This Enemy of the Wheat Plant. Prof. H. A. Gossard, entomologist of the Ohio station, says: The fly, which is a close relative of the Hessian fly, is a very small, delicate insect, appearing on the wing some time in June, usually about the date when the fireflies first appear and the blossoms of the locust trees are fading and falling to the ground. The eggs are laid in a cavity or groove at the upper end of the outermost chaff, so that the young maggots on hatching can readily reach the incipient kernel. These reddish larvae imbibe nourishment from the milky kernel, ceasing to feed after the grain becomes hard. When full grown they seek the earth, generally by crawling down the stalk when it is wet with dew or by sliding down in a raindrop. Going about one-half an inch beneath the surface, they make cocoons not Wheat Midge (Diplosis tritici), a, female fly; b, male fly; c, larvae from below. Wheat Midge (Diplosis triticic), a, female fly; b, male fly; c, larvae from below. larger than mustard seeds, very difficult to find, in which they remain until the following summer, when they again issue as flies. However, many of the larvae have not left the heads by harvest time and these are carried into the barn or stack; they soon become dry and shrink away from their skins, becoming "cased larvae"; these do not feed; they again become active when thoroughly moistened, even after having lain quiescent for more than half a year. Since the chaff from the threshing machine contains countless numbers of these "cased larvae," it should be promptly burned; the bulk of the straw can be put to its customary use without special danger. All seed wheat should be well fanned or screened to prevent sowing midge larvae along with the seed. The screenings should be burned. The great majority of the flies are always derived from the pupae buried in old wheat fields. Rotation of crops will be of some help in controlling them, many of the files becoming lost and perishing while hunting new fields in which to lay their eggs. However, the only thorough remedy is to plow the stubble under in the fall to such a depth that the files cannot make their way to the surface the next year. This should be done as soon after harvest as possible. Plowing to a depth of eight or nine inches is sufficient. Burying the stubble before plowing will help. Neighborhood cooperation in all these remedial measures is important. FOR GOOD ROADS. What Pennsylvania is Doing to Improve Her Highways. Pennsylvania thinks it has the most liberal good roads law in the country and thinks it is doing more to make good roads than any other state in the union. The law, which was passed in 1905, runs for five years and appropriates a total for the state's share in making good roads, $6,356,232. Nearly $1,000,000 was expended for the fiscal year of 1905 and for the years 1906'07, each, $1,250,000 is set aside. For the next two years the annual expenditure will be $1,500,000. This represents three-fourths of the sum expended. Of the remainder the county pays one-eighth and the township one-eighth. The roads must be permanent and the standard is very high. There is a state department of highways, and when the state first began this system that department complained that the counties and townships refused to do, or were very slow in doing their part. But the small beginning won for itself, and now the local bodies are most eager for the work, making greater demands than the appropriation can meet. The amount of work already applied for by the counties outruns the state appropriation by millions of dollars. In other words, the farmers, seeing what good roads mean to them, are eager to pay their part where the state helps so liberally. In 48 of the 66 counties the entire amount allotted has been absorbed. Chester county, for example, has made 11 miles of road and has applied for 13 miles more, which exhausts its share of the state aid. But it has additionally applied for 229 miles more. Altogether the state is so pleased with the good roads experiment that it is believed the legislature will enlarge the appropriation. The state treasury has a large surplus, and it is proposed to exhaust it in giving the state good roads. Mend the Grain Bags. Grain bags with holes in them are a big nuisance. Pretty good ideas to mend the holes before thrashing time. Turn the bag that has a hole in it wrong side out and neatly stitch on the patch. The bag will look much better than it would be the piece put on the outside. SOME EXPERIMENTAL ROADS. What Is Being Done in Illinois by the Highway Commission. The Illinois state highway commission is pushing as rapidly as possible the construction of a number of experimental roads in various sections of the state. There has been much delay in getting this work started, owing to the negotiations it was necessary to take up with the various railroads for freight rates. This has permitted work to begin at some points and to be delayed at others. One stretch of road has been completed at Salem, Ill. This road is situated in Salem township, just outside the limits of the city of Salem. The highway commissioners of Salem township applied for broken stone, which was furnished them, and a piece of road built by the local commissioners; owing to the lack of proper methods, the road thus laid was poorly made, says the Farmers' Review. The state highway commission completed about 2,200 feet of the work with the aid of a steam roller and modern methods of construction, making as smooth and fine appearing a piece of road as can be found anywhere. The width of the macadam is about 14 feet and put on eight inches deep; part of the work was resurfacing the road laid by the local commissioners, at the end of which was about 600 feet of newly constructed road. The exact cost of this work cannot be ascertained, owing to lack of records on the work done prior to that under charge of the state highway commission. The estimated cost of this work per mile, including grading and shaping the subgrade, hauling the stone a distance of about a mile and a quarter, spreading and rolling, is about $2,500. The material was furnished free by the state from the state rock crushed at the Southern Illinois pententary at Menard. The freight on the stone over the Illinois Southern railroad was paid in ballast. The contract between the portion of road built with the steam roller and that upon which the roller was not used, furnishes a most striking illustration of the importance of proper equipment and technical experience in highway construction. The improved piece of road is attracting a great deal of attention locally, and the travel over other routes in the vicinity is almost entirely diverted to the new road, in spite of the fact that the distance is thus increased. There is another interesting piece of road work in the vicinity of Saiem, which has been carried on through the efforts of Mr. John H. Greene, who for the past six years has dragged and kept in excellent condition one mile of road near his farm. During the past winter it is said that the Greene road was the best piece of road in the county. This piece of road has been kept in better condition than the average road in the county for less money than was spent on other roads where a grader and four to six horses are used. It is an interesting fact that Mr. Greene has been using off and on for the past 15 years, a road drag very similar to what is known as the "Split Log Drag," and has done much to interest the people generally in this work, and recommends its general adoption for the maintenance of earth roads. HIDING A CELLAR DOOR. By Arrangement of Boxes It Can Be Done Very Easily. My cellar is situated just under the kitchen and for a long time we wanted a door that would not be unsightly and in the way, writes a correspondent of the Farm and Home. Finally we constructed an arrangement shown in cut. A heavy frame- Cover for Cellar Door. work was built of 2x8 inch stuff covered with matched board. The two parts, a and b, are the same size and hinge together with heavy hinges. The top of this is used as a table, except when it is desired to go into the cellar, when part b is drawn aside, exposing the cellar stairs. A USEFUL DEVICE. Ring with Legs on it for Holding Kettle Over Fire. A very useful device is a ring with legs on it like that shown in the cut. shown in the cut, to support an iron kettle when used out of doors for heating water. Place the band as near the base of the kettle as pos- sible, so that it to support an iron kettle when used out of doors for heating water. Place the band as near the base of the kettle as possible, so that it will not tip over, and you will find it a great convenience when building the fire.

OCTOBER 6, '06 WINS A FORTUNE BUT LOSES WIFE KLONDIKER RETURNS TO FIND HELPMEET MARRIED AGAIN. STORY LIKE A ROMANCE Judson E. Lathrop Turns Up in South Dakota After Absence of Years and Discovers Conditions Are Changed. Mitchell, S. D.—The Klondike country has furnished its share of romantic stories of separated families and the return of wealthy individuals who have been grubstaked and have come home with wealth untold, but there is more to the story of Judson E. Lathrop than the mere returning with gold galore, for he finds that his wife has been divorced from him and married to another man, and that his mother and sister have passed away. For fourteen years Lathrop had not heard from his relatives and it was generally believed he was dead. Lathrop was traveling on the road for a milling company, but little of his money, it is said, went for the comforts of his family; in fact, he did very little to support them, and they were left more or less to their own devices. Starting out on one of his trips, he left home fourteen years ago and never returned until now, not even writing home or giving any clew to his whereabouts. Two weeks ago he returned to his home at Appleton, and informed his son Alfred, who is employed in a railroad office at Milwaukee, of his desire to renew his standing with his family. His son notified him of his acceptance after writing to his sisters, Misses Hazel and Bernice Lathrop of this city. The meeting occurred at Summit, S. D., where Lathrop has a brother teaching school. Mr. Lathrop started for the Klondike with $50 in cash, and on reaching Seattle he was without funds, but was taken through by a party of Friends who were making the trip together. On reaching the gold fields THE NEW YORK TIMES He Returned to Find His Wife Remarried. the party went 3,000 miles into the interior and started operations. At the end of five years Lathrop had amassed $20,000, and with that he started back home. On reaching Ketchikan he was taken sick with the scurvy, and for one year he lay in the hospital. When he came out he said he did not have a dollar left of his small fortune. There was nothing for him to do but to make the start all over again, and he met with better results. He secured a number of mines that were profitable and sold out some of them for $500,000, retaining about thirty, which he still owns, besides owning a bank at Ketchikan. Two years ago, prompted by the love that he still bore for his family, he decided to return to his old home. He reached Seattle and there learned that his wife had obtained a divorce and had been married again. Without more ado Mr. Lathrop retraced his steps to the Klondike. After two years his wealth had increased to a larger sum, and again the longing came over him to see his relatives, and two weeks ago he reached his former home at Appleton. After his meeting with his children he took them to Appleton, which visit, however, was saddened by the death of his mother and his sister. He brought home golden gifts for them and was grieved to find that they were not there to receive them. Lathrop is now a thoroughly changed man and leads a Christian life. At Seattle and in Alaska he has given large sums of money to aid in church work. Three years after Mr. Lathrop went away his wife obtained a divorce on the ground of desecration, and moved to Ashton, S. D., and made her home with relatives. Nine years ago she was married to I. W. Seaman, of Aberdeen, a wealthy ranch and stock owner, who has a handsome residence near the business district. The two daughters will continue to make their residence, with him. Mr. Lathrop expressed himself to his daughters as being satisfied with WE WILL HELP YOU TO OBTAIN A PREMIUM COLORED INFANTRY IN RESCUE OF ROUGH RIDERS AT SAN JUAN HILL, JULY 2, 1898, SIZE 20X28 AND 20X24 INCHES, ADMIRAL DEWEY'S GREAT NAVAL BATTLE OFF CAVITE IN MANILA BAY, MAY 1ST, 1898, NAVAL BATTLE, DESTRUCTION OF ADMIRAL CERVERA'S SPANISH FLEET OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, JULY 3RD, 1898, SIZE 22X28 INCHES; LAND BATTLE, CAPTURE OF EL CANEY, EL PASO AND FORTIFICATIONS OF SANTIAGO, JULY FIRST AND SECOND, 1898, SIZE 22X28 AND 22X27 INCHES.

How They Can Be Reproduced on Green Foliage. Many of the young folks will find amusement and pleasant diversion in making pictures on leaves which may be easily skeletonized, causing the pictures to stand out as shown in the illustrations. The process is exceed- Huntsman and Dogs. ingly simple, and oak, maple or chestnut leaves—in fact, leaves from almost any tree, may be utilized. Press the leaves for a few days in a book or by some other device to make them smooth and stiff. When the leaves are ready for skeletonizing, cut out of paper the pictures which are to be reproduced, trimming them closely with sharp scissors. Paste the pictures on the leaves with common flour paste or mucillage. Before the paste has time to dry lay the leaves, with paper pictures uppermost, on an ironing board or other smooth surface on which a cloth has been spread as for ironing. Take a common clothes brush or a shoe brush and beat the leaves with the bristles. The paper protects the parts of the leaves covered, and the uncovered parts are skeletonized by the beating. When through beating, The Merry Dancer. pull off the paper and the pictures will stand out in the leaves as shown in the illustrations. illustrated papers and magazines An Oriental Scene. furnish an infinite variety of pictures which may be thus reproduced, and the leaves may be used for ornaments of many kinds. TRICK WITH PAPER BANDS. By Clever Manipulation They Multiply in a Surprising Way. Try this trick with paper bands. Take three strips of paper six inches long and about an inch wide and mark dotted lines lengthwise down the mid- dle of each. Paste the two ends of the first one straight and squarely, as shown in Fig. 1. Before pasting the second, directs the Boston Herald, give the strip a twist, as shown in Fig. 2. The third strip you twist before pasting. Now cut each band along the dotted line, and you will have as a result two separate rings from No. 1, as in Fig. 4; from No. 2, one ring half as wide as the original, but with twice the diameter, as in Fig. 5, and from No. 3, two rings linked together, as in Fig. 6. The Rule of Three. Three things to wish for-health, friends and a cheerful spirit. Three things to delight in—frankness, freedom and beauty. Three things to admire—power, gracefulness and dignity. Three things to love—purity, truth- fulness and honon. Three things to be—brave, gentle and kind.

OCTOBER 6, '06 YOUNG HUNTER SPENDS NIGHT IN WILLOW TREE Memphis Youth Is Lost in Mississippi Cane Bottoms and Has a Terrifying Time. Memphis, Tenn.—Lost for twenty-four hours in a bleak Mississippi canebreak, and for over twelve hours in a tree seeking safety from numerous wild beasts which besteged him, Bert Lancaster, of Memphis, had an experience which he is not likely to forget. Lancaster, together with a companion, Billy Sheld, recently returned from what is "commonly termed a "pleasure outing trip." However, they do not refer to their escapade in the same happy phrasing, particularly Lancaster, who was made a victim because of his ignorance of woodcraft. He is & exhibiting to friends myriads of mosquito bites, and emphatically discouraging hunting in the land made famous by President Roosevelt a few years ago. Lancaster and Shea sought the Mississippi canebrake for several days' pleasure in hunting and fishing, and incidentally to recuperate from the stern realities of business. They went with all the necessary paraphernalia, and, because of the wildness and wooliness of the region, carried along in addition a guide. Camp was pitched they were fairly successful hunting and fishing, and everything went along smooth until the fourth day rolled around and completely altered all their plans. It was late in the afternoon of that day when Bert Lancaster decided to go squirrel hunting. Accompanied by his guide, Lancaster walked about three miles from the camp, when the guide left him, after admonishing him to keep close to a large lake in the vicinity, which had been fixed upon by all as a good landmark. For some time the ambitious nimrom obeyed instructions, but being beckoned on by good luck, and bagging many squirrels, he went further from the lake than he intended. When he started to return the shades of night were beginning to thicken, and he was not entirely sure of his way. The imp of the perverse changed his course, and he began walking in a circle. This maneuver he continued until he came to a complete realization of the situation. To be lost in a Mississippi bottom after nightfall is enough to give the most stout-hearted rigors. Bears there are and plenty of catamounts in this territory, and everyone acquainted with the latter knows him A boy climbing a tree.

He confesses that he heard some blood-curdling scream that immediately brought his decision to climb to a head. Into an old willow tree he quickly climbed, and there spent the night in considerable trepidation. To add to his terrors, a terrific thunderstorm came up during the night, and the wayfarer was exposed to its full force. Lancaster was found the next day by a negro on a mule, who was one of a party of thirty engaged in the search for the missing hunter. The finder of the lost man was liberally rewarded. Father Puts Chains on Son Pather Puts Chains on Son. Montgomery, W. Va.-Justice of the Peace Dacls while horseback riding the other morning near Edgewater, saw a little boy cross the road dragging a heavy chain from one of his legs and carrying two buckets of water. He found that a heavy piece of chain eight feet in length had been fastened about the little fellow's leg. The limb was calloused and bore deep chain sores. The child's father, a miner named Samples, said his boy was hard to control and that he had placed the chain upon him to restrain him. The chain had been there day and night for months, the father having lost the key. A chisel had to be used in freeing the boy. A warrant has been issued for the father. Goods Delivered. Nevertheless. The Young Lady (newly engaged and triumphantly proclaiming it to a friend)—Ah, you see. Emily, the oracle-flower was right about it—that he loved me. Only it was another fellow!—Flegende Blatter. REMARKABLE SLEEPING SPELL WHICH HAS ATTACKED AN INDIANA GIRL WOMAN MAKES THRILLING BUT UNEXPECTED TRIP THROUGH AIR Kokomo, Ind.-Miss Maude Snow has completed the fourth week of one of the most remarkable sleeps in medical records. She is a resident of Jackson township, eastern Howard county, Indiana, and the daughter of D. H. and Mrs. Snow, humble farming folks. Saturday night, four weeks ago, Miss Snow was seized with a sleepy spell. She told her parents that she would retire for the night. The next day she had not arisen late in the afternoon and when her parents undertook to awaken her she could not be aroused. Violent methods were resorted to but without success. A physician was summoned. He was unable to tell what was the matter with the young woman. Various theories were advanced, among them that, being of a frail constitution, naturally she had broken down from overstudy. A more sensational surmise was that she had quarreled with her lover and nervous worry had produced the strange condition with which she was afflicted. It was a fact that she had a lover and that he had gone to Virginia and that the young woman had taken his departure very much to heart. If her condition is due to a lover's quarrel she has not revealed the fact during her waking moments. But none of these conjectures afforded a satisfactory explanation of the condition of the young woman, who continued to sleep, and all the doctors summoned to her bedside have as yet been unable to explain the case. She lay like one in a trance. Her face is chalky white, but her breathing is slow and regular. At times her features assume the innocence of childhood. These conditions have led Spiritualists and hypnotists to besiege the parents for experiments. They insist that the young woman is under trance control which can be broken and that she is possessed by a spirit ignorant of the conditions with which it is surrounding her. Hypnotists believe she is the victim of a deep and powerful suggestion to which she yields immediately after being rudely waked from the strange state which enthralls her. The parents are skeptical of all these things and decline to permit experiments. Meanwhile Miss Snow remains in a profound slumber. To arouse her it is necessary to prick her with pins and pour cold water down her back, first standing her in an upright position. She is violently beaten and shouted at, for it is felt Aeronaut.

The occasion was the Ulster county fair, and a large crowd had been attracted by the announcement that Miss Maggie Dalley, an amateur aeronaut of this city, would make an ascension. Miss Dalley leaped into fame Disappointed. "Why am yu in sech a bad humor?" asked the head waiter in the southern hotel. "Why," replied the new waiter, "dat last man told me to hold out man palm en Ah stood deh holding it out foh en hour." "En he gib yu a quatah?" "No, he wanted me to gib him a quatah. He was a palmist."—Chicago News. THE RICHMOND PLANET: RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. that if not awakened at intervals she will sleep the sleep of death. When she comes to herself, as the result of this treatment, it is any normal person emerging from natural slumber. She rubs her eyes and begins a conversation upon topics of special interest to her. Her mind is as clear as at any time in her life. She talks intelligently and with interest upon A To Arouse Her It Is Necessary to Pour Cold Water Down Her Back. To Arouse Her It Is Necessary to Pour Cold Water Down Her Back. topics presented to her attention. Finally the heavy slumber seizes upon her and she falls into peaceful sleep. She will go to sleep while talking. Miss Snow is given but little of solid food. Of recent days she has subsisted entirely upon water. How long she will live in her present state or how long it may be until she recovers is a mystery to all who know of her strange case. Dog that takes tobacco. Evansville, Ind.—At Illinois Junction, a small telegraph office 80-feet in the air, on the long Carla bridge, just below Moundde, Ill., there lives a little spotted dog known as "Old Timer." It was taken to the office more than a year ago and has been away from the big bridge a dozen times a day, and should it hear a train coming it will try to run toward the office. Should this be impossible, the dog will hug one side of the treestreet work until the train has passed. "Old Timer" is a tobacco eater; he swallows the weed after eating it. several weeks ago by making a balloon ascension on a dare. Since then she has made six ascensions successfully. An immense crowd had gathered around the balloon at three o'clock in the afternoon, the balloon was fully inflated, and Miss Dalley was sitting on the tapee. Her manager, Charles Williams, begged the crowd to stand back so as to allow the balloon to be cast off. Finally he gave the word, and the guy ropes were loosened. One of the ropes whirled into the crowd and the loop caught about Mrs. Roper. The balloon rose rapidly, carrying Mrs. Roper swinging head down from the rope, and Miss Dalley sitting on the trapee. Mrs. Roper gave one shriek of fright and then was still, having fainted. The crowd was stricken dumb by the occurrence, but Manager Williams kept his head and shouted to Miss Dalley not to cut loose in her parachute. The latter understood and was apparently cool. The guy rope, which was fastened around Mrs. Roper's leg, hung from the top of the balloon, and she swung by Miss Dalley, describing great areas in the air. The crowd below was frantic, women fainted, and men shouted themselves hoarse. There was a stiff south wind, and the gas bag was carried rapidly northward. Soon Miss Dalley was seen trying to grasp Mrs. Roper as the latter swung by her. She finally succeeded in getting hold of Mrs. Koper's hair. Then it was seen that the balloon was descending. The crowd rushed madly in the direction of the balloon. Men, women and children climbed fences and rushed wildly through the fields and woods. Miss Dalley, still holding Mrs. Roper by the hair, leaped from the balloon with her when it was a few feet from the ground. She succeeded in throwing off the rope when the balloon again soared into the clouds and was lost to view. Mrs. Roper was carried to the home of Dr. Alice Divine, where after some time she recovered consciousness. Her injuries consist of a broken hand and many cuts and bruises. It was only a short 15 minutes from the time the balloon went up until the women were back on the ground, but to the crowd it seemed hours. It Cost a Fortune.

"Do you know Miss Peachleigh?" asked the diffident young man. "Sure thing," replied his friend; "she's the full cream, genuine Horkimer county, too." "I met her up in the woods where I spent my vacation. She and I were together nearly all the time for three weeks. One day when we were out walking in a lovely place she sprained her ankle, and I had to carry her nearly all the way back to the hotel. Every time I went fishing she asked if she might go with me, and as we sat on the banks of streams alone I often caught her looking at me. She always blushed when that happened, and drew long sighs. A few days before I came away she and I were out in a boat, and when we were nearly half a mile from shore she put one of her little, soft hands on mine and asked me if I would try to save her life in case she fell over board. And—" "Well, it may have been that she had heard bad news from somewhere, or she might have had a headache or something of that kind, but the day I left there she came down to the station, and when she said good-by to me there were tears in her eyes. Say, I believe if she and I had been together a few weeks longer and I had been to marry me she'd have said 'yes.'"—Chicago Record Herald. Sweet Attraction "Labor like the ant," advised the wise mother. The lazy boy suked. Presently he rushed back in great glee. "Oh, mammal!" he exclaimed, excitedly.

"Why, I just found an army of ants laboring around your jam jars."—Chicago News. The woman who never wonders what her husband does with so much pocket change is a pearl of great price.

McHenry Jones, grand master, made his address. This is Grand Master Jones's second term he having served four years. His administration has been one of great benefit to the order. He stands well with the members of the entire brotherhood. He is an educator, and is the president of West Virginia College Institute. He was the fraternal delegate to England in 1897, when he made a great impression on the English brethren of the G. U. O. of D. F. $120,000 BUILDING. The grand master in his address referred to many important things touching the good of the order numerically and financially. Among the many other things he said that the erection of headquarters was fixed at $120,000, and plans had been made at a cost of $2,5000. The number of dispensations issued to lodges, households and other branches has reached 1,520, showing that the order has doubled its branches in the past few years. He approved of the establishment of a national bureau of endowment, where no State has compulsory endowment in operation, if so desired by any lodge. He stated that he had received a letter from Secretary Wilde, of England, touching on Federation of Friendly Society movement in England, which he approved of in America among the colored people's societies, for common understanding among them, who need as a race more than any other one thing, union—union, in business, in charity and in race for life. He stated that this was not politics, but a plea for fraternal union, for the good of all concerned, that they may by faith see through the dark clouds of the threatening future the golden sun of a new emancipation. He referred to the death of Chas. B. Wilson, who served in his time as deputy grand master of the order, and was the author of the Old Fellows' Manual. In closing his address he thanked the order for its support in the past and wished that the great God may bless them temporally and spiritually in the future. He bade them hail and farewell. THE SECRETARY'S REPORT Grand Secretary James F. Needham, of Philadelphia, made his report. He is a prominent member of the order and stands well as an Odd Fellow true and tried. He was up to his election as secretary four years ago, a clerk in the tax collector's office for twenty-five years in his city, and resigned only when he took his present position in the order. In presenting his report to the B. M. C. he shows that 4,643 lodges are enrolled: household', 2,636; P. G. M. Councils, 274; juvenile societies, 395; patriarchies, 142; D. G. lodges, 39; district households, 26; total number of branches 8,155; total number of members in all branches, 285,931. Georgia leads with the largest number of lodges with Alabama a close second; then follows South Carolina, Mississippi, North Carolina and Arkansas. There are lodges in Canada, Liberia, Africa, Hawaii, Cuba, Hayti, San Domingo, Trinidad, Costa Rico, Panama, British Honduras, Nicaragua and 1 Islands of Bahama, Danish, Turks and many others. ORDER INCREASING The grand secretary shows further with facts and figures that the order grows and increases with gigantic power. He respectfully refers to the efficient service his Assistant Secretary Vandyke has rendered him in his arduous labors and winds up his report with the hope that the order be crowned with success. Grand Treasurer R. M. Smith, of Virginia, submitted his report, which tallied with that of the grand secretary's so far as the finances are concerned, and which were kept in a systematic form and on business principles. THE ORGAN OF THE ORDER. Editor and Manager J. C. Asbury made a flattering report of the running of the Odd Fellow's Journal, the organ of the order. He showed that he had received from all sources $26,466.85, with the plant valued at $5,600. The editor has shown himself worthy of the honors bestowed upon him, and has made the Journal felt throughout the country, not only in the interest of the order but that of the race in general. The Grand Auditor's report was made through E. H. McKessack, with Jared W. Ford, his associate. They show that the books of the different grand officers were correctly kept, and that the finances were being properly handled. In the report they say the order may well feel proud of the officers now in charge of affairs, and they were pleased to find the order in such good condition. They found the valuation of the order to be $99,697.95, showing that the phenomenal growth of the order is inspiring to its great membership. REPORTS ADOPTED All the reports, as read, were unanimously adopted after so well passed upon by the auditors, whose report was also adopted. The legislative work of the B. M. C. was next taken up by the secretary reading the propositions—the first, second and third propositions from Pilgrim Rest Lodge, No. 1829, Memphis, Tenn. PREFERRED LASH TO HEMPEN TIE. Toccoa People Punish an Impident Negro. Toccoa, Ga., Sept. 22.—For some time past Bill Sadler has been in the employ of the Falls City Bottling works, of Toccoa, and on various occasions had imbibed a little too freely, and given the community some trouble on account of his impudence. Yesterday afternoon he was at the home of J. M. Hogan, superintendent of the Cappus cotton mills, on a business errand. It is said that he was drinking, and while there slapped two of Mr. Hogan's little girls, aged about 9 and 11 years old. Mr. Hogan was absent from home and without his knowledge, Mrs. Hogan notified the police, and the colored man was arrested and placed in the lockup. Late in the afternoon, when Mr. Hogan learned the facts, he tried to obtain admittance to the city prison so as to administer summary justice to Sadler, but was prevented by the officers, and was persuaded by friends to return to his home after swearing out a state warrant for the colored man. This morning when the city officers visited the calaboose Sadler was not to be found. During the afternoon and evening there was talk on the streets of lynch Sadler, but cooler heads prevailed, and by midnight the town was perfectly quiet. Investigation shows that during the night five or six men visited the prison and took the colored man out. He was taken outside the city limits towards the Carolina line, stripped of his clothing, and given the choice between hanging or forty-nine lashes and leaving the state, never to return. It is said he chose the latter, that a buggy trace was used, and that the party who had him in charge forgot to count the number of lash- MAGNIFICENT PARADE the parade of the Grand Patriarchie and the commanderies connected therewith, together with the subordinate lodges connected therewith took place last Thursday afternoon with Charles W. Young as Chief Marshal. It was unquestionably the finest display ever made in this city by any organization, white or colored and everywhere, praise was bestowed upon the management. There were fully three thousand men in line marching with the precision of veterans. The Old Fellow organization showed, itself in all of its glory and demonstrated that under its present management, it is not only growing but progressing. MUCH MONEY REPRESENTED The amount of money represented in that display must have been enormous. Representatives of the House holds of Ruth were present. The day was dark and dreary and rains of the most drenching character had marred the early part of it, but there was a cessation of the downpour and with the exception of the muddy streets all went well. Richmond acknowledged the supremacy of this great organization last Thursday. By a mighty effort the B. M. C. and its various departments have won out * ALL MEET TOGETHER The sessions of the B. M. C. last Thursday were confined strictly to business and Grand Master Jones ruled rigidly. It was decided that hereafter that the Grand Patriarchile and the Household of Ruth will meet at the same time and place as the B. M. C. There was some opposition to the propositions, but they were overwhelmingly carried. The Steamer Jane Moseley brought a delegation of about 200 from Washington including the Patriarchile from that section. They have quarters on the steamer and had a most pleasant trip. The contest for Grand Master and Grand Treasurer is stirring the B. M. C. from centre to circumference. The leading factors in the struggle are Director W. L. Houston of Washington, Director E. P. Jones of Mississippi for Grand Master and B. J. Davis for Grand Treasurer. The time of holding office is now limited to two terms. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA STORM RAZES TWO CITIES Many Lives Lost and Great Damage Done at Mobile and Pensacola. THE PROPERTY LOSS $8,000,000 Pensacola, Fla., Oct. 1.—The loss of life and the damage resulting from the hurricane which struck this city Thursday morning is something terrible. The list of dead has grown to 26, and it is known that many more have been lost and others injured, while 3000 are homeless. For two days rescuing parties have been working to bring conditions to some degree of order, but their efforts have not been successful to any great extent, and many bodies are still underneath the wreckage. The property loss is estimated at $5,000,000. For 10 miles east and west of the city are strewn the wrecks of homes and vessels of all classes. Commencing at Fort McRae, on a point overlooking the Gulf and continuing to Escambia bridge, east of the city, theer is nothing but devastation, ruin and desolation. The navy yard suffered probably to the extent of $1,000,000. Many of the new buildings have been damaged or destroyed completely, the floating dock crushed against a stone one, the latter damaged, and the gunboats Vixen, Isle de Luzon, Gloucester, Machias and Wasp, as well as the naval tugs Wauban and Accomac and a number of smaller tugs and launches rendered complete wrecks. Some of these vessels have been driven in shore for more than 200 yards. The homes of the workmen at Warrington and Woolsey were demolished and three lives lost. Across in the city here the scene beggars description, and it will be fully three months before the vessels can be dug from their positions. Of of the 22 ships and barks of foreign flags anchored in the harbor, only one remains and it is badly damaged. The steamers fared better, but they are damaged. Some ocean ships of 2000 tons are resting in front yards; others have been driven through houses; some have their noses pointed tinto stores, while others are keeled on on their side in the bay or piled up on the beach. Only four tug boats out of about 20 remain. About 80 fishing schooners of 50 tons were moored alongside wharves, and two remain intact. Some of them are half a mile in shore. HARVEST OF DEATH AT MOBILE Known Dead is 79 and May Reach 102—Cleaning Up Debris. Mobile, Ala., Oct. 1.—The number of casualties in the great storm of last Wednesday is slowly increasing as messages are received from places which have heretofore been inaccessible. The total of the known dead is 79, and a possibility of 102 by the reports that reached Mobile. It is estimated that 23 lives have been lost from the oyster fleet around Cedar Point. The property loss is $30,000,000. Among the steamers sunk were the J. P. Schuh, the Mary E. Staples, the Mary S. Biees, Cama, Overton, Hattie B. Moore, City of Camden, the United States revenue cutter Alert and many other smaller craft. Mobile's shipping suffered more than anything else. Many of the river boats are now beached or sunken, all complete wrecks. Fruit trees and fall vegetable crops all over Southern Alabama and Mississippi are ruined. So also is the cotton sugar cane and other crops. One Mississippi planter said he would willingly accept $15 for his cotton crop and feel that he had a fair deal. TRANSPORT SHERIDAN BEACHED After Being Floated She Was Run Ashore to Prevent Sinking. Honolulu, Oct. 2.—The transport Sheridan, which ran aground on Barber's Point, at the southeast extremity of the island of Oahu, was floated with assistance of the transport Buford. While both vessels were on the way to this port it became apparent the Sheridan was about to founder and she was beached. She was driven on the beach at the entrance of Pearl harbor, where she is now in a worse position than before, and may become a total wreck. CABINET OFFICERS TO RETIRE Attorney General Moody and Secretary Shaw to Resign. Washington, Oct. 3.—Two retirements from the president's cabinet are slated for the coming winter. They are those of Attorney General Moody, whose resignation will become effective about the first of December, and that of Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, who, according to present intentions, will retire in February. For one of the vacancies to be created the president will nominate George V. L. Meyer, American ambassador to Russia, but for the other he is not yet ready to announce a successor. Mr. Roosevelt has sought to prevail on Attorney General Moody to remain in the cabinet, but the latter, because of business arrangements he has made, has found it impossible to do so. He also would like to have Secretary Bonaparte take Mr. Moody's place when the latter retires, but the former prefers the position at the head of the navy department, with whose workings he has become thoroughly familiar. Some suggestion has been made that Secretary Metcalf, of the department of commerce and labor, take one of the positions to be made vacant in the proposed shifting of cabinet officers, but he also has expressed a preference to remain where he is.

Four boats scheduled to sail did so, while four others that were to have sailed remained tied to their wharves. The officials of the companies express themselves confident that they will be able to cope successfully with the situation by putting the winter schedules into effect somewhat earlier than usual. The men demand an increase in pay. Captains have been getting $75 to $100 a month, first mates $40 to $60 and second mates $30 to $40, which they claim is altogether inadequate, considering the services rendered and the responsibilities assumed. The advanced range about 25 per cent. The commander of a steamer on any of the routes involved must hold a government license, which can only be obtained after a certain term of service and the passing of a difficult examination as to routes, distances, etc. 1906 OCTOBER 1906 Su.
