THE RICHMOND PLANET VOLUME XXIV. NUMBER 32. SHALL WE GO TO AFRICA? MR. STEWARD TELLS OF THE BEAUTIES OF THAT COUNTRY. Rather than remain in America under a regime of oppression and repression, ought we not to return to Africa, bearing the torchlight of the Gospel of Christ and of civilization which God has given us, to our benighted brethren who are waiting and praying for our coming? This is the topic for this paper. Some may ask, Why go to Africa? Are there not other parts of the world besides Africa? Are not there the Philippine islands and the Hawaiian islands to which we can go? We should go to Africa because it is our fatherland, and there we will find our brethren with whom we can readily become assimilated. The Philippines belong to the United States and so does Hawaii. They are dependencies of this country and are likely to remain so. Their inhabitants although a dark race are as alien to us as is the white race of America and Europe. Africa is one of the five grand divisions of the earth. It is triangular in form. It has an area of 11,556 600 square miles with a population of 192,520,000 souls. The western coast is washed by the Atlantic Ocean, the Northern Sea by the Mediterranean and the eastern by the Indian Ocean. It is rich in oils, ivory gold, precious timber, diamonds and beautiful lakes and grand rivers. The climate is thoroughly tropical and fruit of nearly every description abounds. Some people regard Africa as being a wild waste of jungles and marshy, malarial low-lands. The real truth is that it is one of the most salubrious parts of the earth. Its grand mountains, table lands and majestic rivers are famous the world over. Read the following description of a sunset on the Atlas mountains by Frank G. Carpenter, one of the most renowned of modern travellers: "As one climbs up the Atlas Mountains the views widen so that the whole world seems spread out below. One can see so far that such mountains as the Alps are dwarfed by the mighty panoramas. The ragged hills stretch away for hundreds of miles on every side, and in the winter, when the Atlas is covered with snow, the views must be, beyond expression magnificent. I saw one sunset at the very top of the pass, which will remain in my memory as among the most wonderful of the cloud paintings of my life. "During the day the sirocco had been blowing its hot blast from the desert and the sun had been hidden. When it set the sky was full of clouds, and it gilded them in a hundred rosette hues. We were high up in the sky, with great masses of fleecy gold above and below us. The mountains took on all tints and shades and their sides became a patchwork of many colors, which we saw through a thin veil of gold. On other hills the veil was a delicate lavender, and on others a snow-white tinged with rose pink. As the sun disappeared a band of royal purple ran around these mountain peaks, resting below them, while there were bands of burning copper above and below." The condition of the Negro in this country is pitiful beyond conception He is utterly helpless and at the mercy of the white man who looks upon him only as an object of either pity or hatred. So far as protection goes he is worse off now, in a state of nominal freedom than he was in real slavery for then, with interest indeed in his master to stand by and protect him. Now he is at the mercy of every white man who chooses to kick him. Any frank and honest colored man will acknowledge that he is afraid to go into a miscellaneous crowd accompanied by his wife, daughter or sister, or indeed, by any lady, for fear that insult may be offered her, the resenting of which by him would result in a race riot. When God resolved to free the Children of Israel from Egyptian bondage, He carried them away from the presence of their former masters to a country of their own. Again, when He delivered them from the Babylonish captivity, He caused them to return to their own country—to Palestine. We would do well to con sider these matters and inquire what in the will of the Lord concerning us. I know that thousands and tens of thousands of us are doing well in this country—so well that, possibly we are loth to consider the will of God in the matter. I am glad that STARTLING REPORT FROM WASHINGTON. Senate Committee Will Recommend Restoration to the Army. THE BASIS OF A COMPROMISE—REPUBLICAN LEADERS ALARMED AT THE DISAFFECTION. COLORED VOTERS UGLY—WILL STRIKE BACK—"THERE'LL BE A HOT TIME IN THE OLD TOWN TO-NIGHT." Washington, July 7.—The settlement of the Brownsville investigation and the report of the investigating committee will be a compromise that will be approved by the President and Senator Foraker, to the end that the Negro race may thereby receive the greatest possible benefit, and the racial issue, which was so accentuated by the unfortunate incident, will be given a lasting quietus. This inquiry will be a lasting quietus. This inquiry will be a unification of the Republican elements to the discomfiture of the Democrats. More than this, the report will bring about a more advanced step by President Roosevelt's administration in the recognition of the colored race, so far as the army is concerned. The report will not be made until Congress convenes, but it will fail to uphold President Roosevelt's course in all particulars and will pave the way for the discharged colored soldiers to re-enter the army. This much has been disclosed. Senator Foraker will not win on every point, but he may be so well satisfied that he will make no minority report. There are assurances also, that President Roosevelt will be satisfied. NO DIRECT CHARGE. The committee will make no direct charge that Negro soldiers, individually or collectively shot up the town of Brownsville, but will let the people draw their own conclusions. The committee will recommend the passage of a law by Congress which will authorize the discharged soldiers to re-enlist "without prejudice" and their army status be fixed as it was before they were dishonorable discharged, providing each soldier shall make a statement that he did not participate in the shooting. While this result will not give the discharged soldiers as clean a bill of health as they had hoped for, it will no doubt satisfy them. It will restore them to their civil and military rights which they lost through the President's order. POLITICS AND MERCY-COMBINED There is politics as well as the quality of mercy in this decision. There has been no doubt since the action of the administration in the Brownsville case that the Negro race has been stirred to a resentment that it has at no time felt since emancipation. There are intimations that the President has been advised by Booker T. Washington that his sentiment did not extend beyond the Negro politicians, and would soon blow over. Further investigation, how has shown that it extends from more advanced Negroes of the der states to the field hands of plantations of the South and farms of the Central West. The Brownsville incident and terrible punishment met out situated the first blot upon the cord. It has been insisted by Negroes, Senator Foraker being spokesman, that such punishment should not be visited without the Senate Committee will take the approval by President F. velt of such a decision by the ate Committee will be accepted country over as a renewed adher to his doctrine of the "square." He asserted that his order w stand unless convincing proof submitted to him of the innocent the Negro politician. so many are doing well. This is God's way. If they are doing well, let them continue to do well. The Lord would not have us go away as so many beggars, not at all. He did not bring away his chosen people from Egypt as such. They were well provided for. The doing of God's will is not always agreeable to us, but we should seek to find out what is His will and do it nevertheless. I think I hear some one say, How do you know what is God's will in this matter, who made you a prophet? I am no prophet nor the son of a prophet. I do not even pretend to know what is God's will in this matter. But I call upon every thinking man, every leading man of the Negro race in America to seek to find out what is the Lord's will as to our destiny in this world. I do not believe that it is the will of God that ten millions of people whom He has caused to be civilized, Christianized and educated, should be lost in a country and amongst a people who do not want them nor need them, while their own country which He has given them and their own people and kinsmen are perishing for lack of the services which they can render. Go on, do well in America. Get wealth, build houses, palaces, halls, churches; acquire land; get religion, become educated and moral. Do all of these for yourselves in America, it will the better qualify you to build empires and redeem millions of souls in Africa. "Ethiopia shall soon stretch forth her hands unto God." O. M.

Further investigation, however, has shown that it extends from the more advanced Negroes of the border states to the field hands on the plantations of the South and the farms of the Central West. The Brownsville incident and the terrible punishment meted out constituted the first blot upon the record. It has been insisted by the Negroes, Senator Foraker being their spokesman, that such punishment should not be visited without positive proof of guilt. This is the view the Senate Committee will take. The approval by President Roosevelt of such a decision by the Senate Committee will be accepted the counterpart as a renewed adherence to his doctrine of the "square deal." He asserted that his order would stand unless convincing proof was submitted to him of the innocence of the Negro soldiers. Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson in Seattle Washington. Dr. W. T.

A quiet wedding was solemnized at Natural Bridge Wednesday, June 19th, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew J. Watts, between their oldest daughter, Mamie E. to Mr. Robert Janifer of Washington, D. C. The scene was impressive, the two plighting their troth surrounded by kindred and friends. The ceremony was performed by the bride's uncle Rev. S. S. Watts of Beuna Vista, Va. The wedding marches were well rendered by Mrs. Janie B. Watts as the wedding parties arranged themselves under the handsome arch decorated with ferns, evergreens and roses and the soft light rising out of this threw a glow over the scene. The bride entered with her father by whom she was given away. She ored lace princess over creamy colored lace princess over vreamy colored taffeta silk, a diamond brooch in her hair and carried a bouquet of white illies. Mrs. Ira T. Watts, brother of the bride was best man who came in with the bridegroom and stood in front of the minister awaiting the bride, who was led in by two little flower girls strewing a table in the hall. Mrs. Wamie Day of Indian Rock, V.J. J. C. Hubert in attendance. Outside the central group stood the ushers, Sherman Watts and Willie Day.

One hundred officers were publicly installed Tuesday night, July 2nd, Zion Baptist Church was crowded to its utmost capacity in honor and appreciation of the public installation of the Knights of Pythias. Never be fore has the city been more aroused in the interest of Knighthood than now and the public installation which had never been witnessed before served to inspire and to stimulate. Deputy J. C. Allen was the source of this inspiring deed. He is untiring in his efforts and is successful in all his undertakings. Prof. J. E. Byrd, acted Grand Prelate; Special Deputy J. W. Larkins acted as Master at Anchor. The officers of the following lodges: Damon, No. 12, Eureka, No. 30, Lily of the Valley, No. 40, Cavailor, No. 56, Star of the East, No. 58, Rose of Sharon, No. 63, Newport News, No. 74, Athletic, No. 113, Prince of Peace, No. 114, Flying Eagle, No. 130, were escorted to their respective places and in a most impressive way, received their solemn obligation of duty. This act alone, with many other interesting features, planned by the brained men of this city, enables the Knights of Pythias to stand head and shoulders above all the other Orders of the city. After receiving the obligations, charge was delivered to them by the Grand Vice Chancellor, T. J. Pree, whose speech enapt the audience with such surprise, till the cry was, "No man spake like he." Grand Vice Chancellor T. J. Pree, Deputy J. C. Allen, Special Deputy J. W. Larkins, Prof. J. E. Byrd are four of the excellent characters wily selected to lead the Fraternity of Knighthood in this city. With these magnets, the Order is bound to mark up its banner, "Excelsior." After the installation service they were refreshed by a collation of ice- cream and cake. Ice-cream was fur- ished by Excelsior Ice Cream Co. a company newly organized and composed of the best citizens of the race with all modern improvements to manufacture ice-cream in all styles, if necessary can turn out a gallon per minute.

The MYSTERY CARNEYCROFT BY JOSEPH BROWN COOKE COPYRIGHT 1907 BY STORY-PRESS CORPORATION Another sleepless night followed, but long before the morning broke I had formed an opinion of myself and my conduct that was in no way flattering to either. To be sure, I had been sincere in every thought and act, and when, at times, I had felt and believed that Miss Carney loved me, I had soon argued myself into an opposite way of thinking on the ground, as I have said before, that her feelings toward me were influenced and magnified by her present anxiety and distress. Now, however, after considering the matter through the long hours of the night until my brain fairly reeled and I was sick at heart at the thought of my brutal behavior I was at last able to see things in a right light. Miss Carney had given me every evidence of her regard that she could give and still preserve her dignity and womanliness. She had doubtless realized the difficulties of my position, and she had taken into account that her brother's absence served as an added reason for my silence, and so she had met me more than half way and yet I had remained silent. She had even permitted me to kiss her hand, and then, on the first occasion that offered, she had given me an opportunity to say the words that I owed to her if she would preserve her self-respect and not consider that I had trifled with her in a most cruel and unmanly way. And still I had remained silent, in an egotistical belief that my attitude was chivalrous and commendable when, in fact, it was only Quixotic and brutally unkind. Now, she could only think that I did not love her, for surely she could not conceive that a sane man would have acted the part I did on the veranda unless he regarded her almost with indifference. I rose and paced the floor until my head throbbed, hating myself and trying to smother my emotions until the morning came and I could go to her and beg her forgiveness. As the day began to dawn a cold gray light spread itself over the fields, knowing the heart frost on the grass and bringing clearly into view many distant objects which stood out sharply in the crisp autumn air. I glanced from my window and saw what appeared to be two people walking slowly down the hillside in the direction of the Bruce cottage. A hasty scrutiny through my field glasses confirmed my suspicion and it seemed that one figure, that of a man, carried an implement like a spade or shovel, while the other was evidently a woman of about the window's size and general appearance. I dressed rapidly, and, slipping out of the house, made my way as quickly as I could to the point where I had seen them passing, feeling sure that I would have no difficulty in following their trail through the frost-covered grass. It was all I had expected, and I walked rapidly up the hill, retracing the path they had made, and, occasionally leaving the trail where it led too directly through the open, and slinking along in the shadow of the hedges until I could again take it up with safety. About half way up the incline I turned and looked down toward the Bruce cottage, from the chimney of which a black column of smoke was pouring and whose windows were brightly lighted as if something of importance was going on within. As I looked, and I had taken the precaution to bring my binoculars with me, a man emerged from the house and I had no difficulty in making him out to be Jenks, the stage driver. He was followed in a moment by Mrs. Bruce and the two stood for some time in earnest conversation, after which the man strode rapidly down the road and the woman reentered the house. It had seemed to me that the widow and Jenks were quarrelling, for, during their talk, he had gesticulated violently and shown every evidence of extreme carnestness, if not of actual anger; but they must have come to some sort of an agreement at last, for he waved his hand pleasantly as he left her and she returned his salutation by throwing him a kiss as coyly as a schoolgirl. The first thing the woman did after entering the house was to extingush the lights, no longer necessary, as the rays of the sun began to touch the hilltops, and I was just lowering my glass when I caught a fleeting glimpse of another man, darting around the corner of the building and disappearing behind the woodpile. I watched in vain for him to show himself again, but he did not, and finally, I turned and followed the trail once more, making all possible haste, lest I should lose it when the frost disappeared. The foot prints led me up on the hill and around to the side away from the house and, at length, became lost in a grove of hemlocks under which there was no tell-tale frost. For a time it seemed that my efforts were to prove of no avail, and that I might as well return home, but the more I thought of the matter the more I was convinced that these people had been out for no good purpose, and that it was my duty to learn, if possible, what mischief they had been contriving at this early hour and where they had been. In fact, I suddenly realized that I had not taken a proper interest in the mysterious happenings at Carney-Croft and that while it had seemed quite enough to bring them to a stand. still, as far as outward appearances were concerned, they were, in reality, of far too great importance to let pass so easily. Miss Weston's connection with the affair gave a new aspect to it, of course, and while I was bound by my word to respect her secret there was nothing in my promise to her to prevent me from using every legitimate means to find out all that I could on my own account and make use of such knowledge as I might acquire in any way that would best serve my purposes without reacting on her. Since I had come to a correct understanding of my position in regard to Miss Carney, it seemed imperative that I should probe this whole affair to the bottom, if for no other reason than to show my devotion to her and her interests. I wandered about more or less alm- lessly, in the grove until, as I was on the point of leaving in chargin. I again discovered the tracks in the frost leading across a little open space from an other and denser grove near by. I plunged at once into this and had no trouble in directing my steps through the underbrush, which was broken and bent in many places and showed plainly the course taken by the man and woman but a short time before. After going on in this way for some little distance I suddenly found myself in a small clearing under the branches of the overtowering trees, and saw, to my horror, an oblong space of newly turned earth which bore every resemblance in size and general appearance to a grave. For several minutes I stood spell-bound with fear and dread and then, summoning up all my courage and with a cold sweat standing out on my body, I began to dig down in the soft brown earth, using a stick that was lying near by, and even my hands, to remove the stones and larger clumps of soil. About a foot below the surface I came upon a bundle wrapped in cloths of the same kind in every way as those found by MacArdel and myself on the night when we first saw the ghosts and shot at Jenks. I could bear no more for the moment, and quaking visibly. I rose from the ground and leaned against a tree for support. Then, for the first time, I saw that there were many other little mounds surrounding the one I had opened and—but I had reached the limit of my endurance, and, with pallid face, I gashed madly down the hill toward Carney-Croft. Miss Carney was not at breakfast, nor did she show herself during the day, and my inquiries concerning her elicited the information that she was constantly with Miss Weston, whose condition had become truly alarming. I wrote to John Carney, as his sister had asked me to do, telling him all that I knew of Miss Weston's condition and of her strange connection with the mystery of Carney-Croft which, for the first time, I recited to him in full. Moreover, on the bare chance that he might, through his previous intimacy with Miss Weston, be in possession of knowledge that would give me a clew if not actually explain the present inexplicable occurrences, I asked him to cable me immediately any facts that might help to clear up the situation and put me on the right track in my war against the Bruce woman and her allies. I did this, hardly thinking that he could be of any material assistance to me in my investigations, but, rather than leave any stone unturned, I related in detail the events of the last few months, not omitting my experience of the morning in the little hillside graveyard, and I closed by urging him most earnestly to return home by the first steamer. This letter I posted at once, so that it would catch the next mail boat for England, and, to make sure that it would reach him promptly, I cabled to his bankers that an important letter was on its way and asked them to recall him at once to London if he was at any distant point. When these matters were attended to I again set to work to organize a plan of campaign against the Bruce gang, and, as a preliminary step, I went into the village and made all the inquiries that I judiciously could A man in a suit is running through a forest. 1 Stood Spell-Bound with Fear.

To my surprise I found that she was respected and held in the highest esteem by the townspeople, and prominent in all the good work of the parish. Some of the people even said that she gave, so much of her meager income to charity that she often suffered herself for the ordinary comforts of life. As to Jenks, I could only learn that he was an honest, trustworthy fellow, that he was ardently devoted to the Widow Bruce, but, with it all, I could not find a soul to say a word against the character of either; unless Jenks' keenness in striking a bargain, and the businesslike way in which he brought home the intoxicated frequenters of Hoskins' hotel when they had the money for their fare, and left them to get home as best they could when they had not, could be laid up against him as a crime. His own occasional potations seemed to be entirely overlooked by the townspeople in general, or else wholly unknown to them, and, taking everything into consideration, Jenks seemed to be regarded by the community as a pretty fair sort of a citizen. With these facts in my mind I tried to reconcile the doings of the early morning, as well as the other happenings of which I was cognizant, with the reputations borne by Jenks and the Bruce woman, and I freely confess that I soon became completely bewildered. It must be admitted that I had no positive assurance that the little graves up on the hill contained the bodies of infants, except that their general appearance suggested as much, and the fragments of bone that I had seen served as a mute witness of some ghastly crime. MacArdel, too, had identified the odor of the rags beyond all question of doubt, at least as far as he was concerned, but it still must be remembered that I had not opened the parcel and that I had no way of knowing that it contained anything more than rags, as did the one that we had examined so carefully in the summer. The more I thought of it the less I was able to make out of it, and, finally, as I had determined to take a walk, and was leaving the house for this purpose, my astonishment was increased by meeting the widow face to face in the hallway as I descended the stairs. She was dressed neatly in freshly laundered calico, with an laimaculate apron of generous propositions, and, in her hand, she held a tray with a cup and some plates on it. We gazed at each other for an instant and then I said, in as unconcerned a tone as I could muster up for the occasion: "Good afternoon, Mrs. Bruce. Do you remember me? I am Mr. Ware, you know." "Oh, yes, sir," she replied, bowing pleasantly as she spoke, "I remember you very well indeed, sir." I smiled at this in spite of myself and stopped her as she would have passed me and gone up the stairs. "What are you doing here, Mrs. Bruce?" I asked. "I had no idea of meeding you in this way." "Why you know, sir, I was a nurse in the old country, sir," she returned, in the same sweetly modulated voice that I had noticed before, "and when the young lady took so bad, sir, she sent for me to take care of her until the 'ospital nurses came from town.' "Who sent for you?" I continued curiously, again impeding her progress up the stairs. "Miss Carney, of course," she rejoined. "She asked the rector and he recommended me most 'lightly, sir. You know I do most of the nursing in critical cases 'ereabouts, when I can find the time for it, sir." She caught her breath at this last clause, as if she would have wished it unsaid, and blushed violently as I remarked: "You are very busy most of the time, I presume?" "Yes, sir, I am, sir," she retorted, defiantly, "and my business is my own, sir, and it ill becomes outsiders to meddle with it!" With these remarkable words she swept past me and proceeded to Miss Weston's room with all the importance of an idealized Sairy Gamp from whom the objectionable qualities had been eliminated. As I watched her ascend the stairs with a little self-reliant poise to her head and a manner of absolute nonchalance, I came to the sudden and positive conclusion that the woman had not a bad trait in her makeup, and that the only way to deal with her was to approach her frankly and in all honesty of purpose. I was convinced, too, that Miss Weston had played no small part In persuading Miss Carney to send for her as a nurse, and I wondered how and through what sort of argument she had been induced to admit to her house a woman whom she had every reason to suspect of bearing her no great amount of good will. From the housekeeper, who chanced to pass through the hall, I learned that the nurses from town were expected on the evening train, and that Mrs. Bruce would go home as soon as they arrived, and I determined to see her and talk with her that very night at her cottage. Shortly after dinner, which, like all the other meals of the day, had been conspicuous by Miss Carney's absence, I again started out in the direction of the widow's house, and arrived just in time to find her and Jenks in heated arguments at the gate. I slackened my pace as I saw them standing in the light of the doorway and, feeling that the circumstances warranted me in playing the part of eavesdropper. I stepped stealthily forward in the shadow of the shrubbery until I was within hearing distance. "Wal!" Jenks was saying doggedly, "th' hull thing's baout teh come aout 'fore long an' ye might' well tell me naew an' he dowt wit it!" "I'll tell you when the time comes. Sam," she said, soothingly, and then she added something in a tone so low that I could not hear. "Course I'll trust ye, Matilda," said Jenks earnestly and in evident response to her last remark. "Hain't I allus trusted ye from th' start; an' got them pesky bundles fur ye, an' buried 'em, too, 'thaout never askin' no questions? But I tell ye, Matilda, th' hull thing's comin' aout 'fore long, an', what's more, that lawyer cuss wuz up on th' bill this mourin' right after we left, an' dug up th' last one we planted." "What!" she gasped, selzing him by the arm, "did he open the parcel an see what was in it or—or take it away with him, Sam?" "No," said the man, "he didn't do nuthin' to, cept scratch th' dirt of th' top, an' when he got a whiff of it I guess wiz all he wanted, fur when I seen him he was a comin' dawnth' hill like the 'old Nick wuz after him. I surmised what he'd been up to, an' so I went back an' covered it up again." "Thank God for that," she murmured, "and you did not touch it or open it yourself, did you, Sam?" "No," he replied. "I jest left it lay, like you've alius told me to do, an covered it up again 'thaout askin' no questions, one way nor tother. But I tell ye, Mattilda, it's all gain' teh be known 'fore long, an' I do wish'y'd tell me nnow, 'fore it' too late." "Yes!" I exclaimed, stepping suddenly before them, "and I wish you'd tell me, too, Mrs. Bruce." They sprang back in amazement, and for an instant I thought that Jenks was going to strike at me, but I continued earnestly: "I have come here as your friend to night to ask and beg of you an explanation of this mystery that is upsetting the whole place. I know, Mrs. Bruce, that you can put everything to rights if you will and I am prepared to do almost anything that you want me to if you will only made a clean breast of the whole business. I don't believe there's been any very great wrong on your part, Mrs. Bruce, although I must admit that I did think so at one time, and I want to say now that I am sincerely sorry for the maner in which Dr. MacArdel and I treated you both last summer." They said nothing and after pausing for a moment, I continued: "As I say, I come here as a friend to ask you to explain this matter once and for all, or at least go away and leave us in peace." "Oh, I can't go away, sir!" exclaimed Mrs. Bruce. "I can't do that, sir, whatever you ask, and I can't tell you anything, either, for the present, sir." "Oh, nonsense!" I cried impatiently. "You can tell me just as well as not, and I give you my word that you can trust me in every way if you will only take the right view of this thing and slide with me in helping to rid Carney-Croft of all further annoyance." "No," she returned, weeping silently. "I can't tell you anything now, sir, although I say it with no disrespect. As you are a friend of Miss Carney and the other lady, don't ask it of me, I beg." "The other lady?" I exclaimed in amazement, and with some sudden suspicion in my tone. "Do you mean to say that you don't remember her name when you know her well enough to have written her so many letters that she is perfectly familiar with your hand, and you have even had her here in your house?" "Written her letters?" cried Mrs. Bruce in a bewildered tone. "Why, sir, I—" Here she was interrupted by Jenks, who suddenly broke out into guffaws of uncontrollable mirth. Mrs. Bruce eyed him in a puzzled way for a moment, as if she thought he had lost his mind and then, coming to my side, she drew my head toward her and whispered in my ear: "In God's name, sir, trust me as you would yourself and ask no questions about the letters or anything else. Do this, for pity's sake, and for the sake of the sweet young lady you love." CHAPTER XXI. An Amphibian Mystery. My astonishment at this last remark of the Bruce woman was beyond expression, and, grasping her somewhat rudely by the arm, I exclaimed: "What do you mean by that? Explain yourself at once!" "You know well enough what I mean, and who I mean, sir," she replied in a whisper, placing her mouth close to my ear as she spoke. "As you love Miss Carney, and as you value her happiness, sir, you must trust me and ask no questions now." I pondered deeply for a moment before I answered her and then I said in a low tone: "You are asking a great deal of me, Mrs. Bruce. You must remember that I am Miss Carney's legal adviser and that I am in duty bound to look out for her interests. This thing has gone quite far enough already, and yet matters are growing more and more mysterious. I heard Jenks tell you that I was up on the hill this morning, and I have no wish to deny it, but I saw something there that must be explained at once or I shall notify the authorities; and, for my part, I do not see how it can be explained at all." "What did you see, sir?" she gasped, as if in great mental distress. "Well," I replied, slowly, "I saw a number of little graves, or what appeared to be such." "Oh, my God!" she moaned, covering her face with her hands, "I did not think anything like that could happen! I should have burned them, sir. Oh, why didn't I burn them! It would have been much safer!" Jenks had slunk into the house, leaving us to ourselves, and I was enabled to talk more freely. "Look here, woman!" I exclaimed. "What in the name of heaven does all this mean? Speak, or by all that's holy I will have you in jail before morning." My impassioned words had no effect upon her other than to make her weep piteously, and I waited until she had regained her composure somewhat and was able to talk coher- ently. "You misjudge me, Mr. Ware," she said. "Indeed you do, sir. I have committed no crime, sir, and I am doing all in my power to prevent one; for it would be a crime if it happened, although the law wouldn't call it so, sir." She laid her hand on my shoulder respectfully and then, the old-fashioned, motherly way coming over her, she continued in a choking voice: "You must do as I ask, Mr. Ware. Do not distrust me, I beg of you, sir, for I have so much to bear and I have borne it all so patiently and so willingly, too, sir. Remember, I have no fault to find, and I am glad to have been able to do what I have done, sir, but the end is so near now that I cannot bear to have everything go for nothing at the last." Her eyes were filled with tears, and, do what I might, I could not doubt her honesty and sincerity. Before I could speak, she wont on hurriedly, looking about her in an apprehensive way: "Just believe in me for a few days, sir, won't you? Do this for your own sake and for Miss Carney's and the other young lady's. You will never regret it, sir, I promise you; I swear it, sir, on everything I hold sacred, and God knows I am a churchwoman and live in fear of Him and His love sir." For my life I could do no more than she asked, and, after a moment's hestitation, I said slowly: "I must trust you, Mrs Bruce, but I must tell you that I do so against my best judgment. I do not see how all those things can be explained satisfactorily and they must be explained soon in every way. Still, I believe that you are stoncore in what you tell me, and, for the present at least, I will ask no more questions and rely upon you to fulfill your protections of good faith when the proper time comes. You will understand, of course, that in spite of this promise I shall feel perfectly free at any time to take such steps in this matter as I may deem necessary, and, while I am willing to let things stand as they are now for a short time, I shall act promptly and effectively if they now of otherwise suspicious circumstances arise." With these words I turned and walked down the path in the direction of Carne-Croft leaving her standing by the rate order, softly. tion of Carney-Croft, leaving her standing by the gate, crying softly. The next afternoon I took a boat on the river and paddled almostly up and down trying to kill time and watching for an opportunity to speak to Miss Carney, whom I had not seen for two days. Miss Weston's condition was growing steadily worse, and the arrival of the nurses from town and their close attention to their patient, coupled with the frequent and anxious visits of the village physician, served as a sufficient excuse for the hurried departure of all of Miss Carney's guests except myself, who remained at a sense of duty as well as a desire to be near at hand and in a position to set myself right with my hostess on the first occasion that offered. I did not go far from the house, but rowed up and down the stream with no particular objective point in mind and only thinking of what I might do in regard to Mrs. Bruce, and, most of all, how I could hope to again gain Miss Carney's good will, if nothing more, and explain, in the slightest doggie, my outrageous behavior. It is needless to say that I was in no happy frame of mind and, as I allowed the boat to drift slowly down stream with the current, I leaned over the side and peered into the depths of the limpid water on which I was floating. As I drifted carelessly along in this lazy fashion I finally came to a point opposite that portion of the bank where the ghosts had disappeared so suddenly and mysteriously in the bright moonlight. Up to this time my mind had been free from any thought of this feature of the Carney-Croft puzzle, for the events of the past few days, together with my anxiety to see Miss Carney and right myself in her eyes, were more than enough to occupy my entire attention for the moment. The realization of my position off the shore, however, served to recall vividly the spectral scene of the summer, and I again began to speculate as to the manner in which the ghost-like figures had managed to disappear from view in such an effectively supernatural way. While I was pondering over this problem and wondering if I was ever to solve it with any degree of satisfaction, I noticed a slight commotion in the water between me and the shore, such as might have been made by a beaver or a muskrat. In another moment a man's head appeared above the surface and then, with a wild look at me and my boat, not 20 yards distant, he gave a convulsive quitter and disappeared again with a plunge like that of a porpoise playing under the bow of a ship. The water was bitterly cold, for it was now near the end of October, and there was a chill in the air which foretold the coming of snow, yet, although I patrolled the spot for nearly half an hour and had a clear view of the river and shore for fully a mile in every direction, the figure did not seem apparent. For a time it seemed to me that the fellow's life must have been lost and that his body had floated down the stream with the current, which increased steadily in force as it neared the falls, some two miles below. Whence he had come I did not know, for I could not conceive that a man would be swimming in the river at this time of year, and, just as I was about to row ashore and report the affair to those who could institute a proper search for the body, an idea flashed into my head and served to explain the matter in short order. The ghosts, or at least the men who impersonated them, had always disappeared from sight at this point on the river bank, and, doubtless, they had dived into the water and toults shelter somewhere under the shore. If this were the case, a man might easily enough have ventured out from his hiding place, and, upon seeing me, returned and waited until the coast was clear again. I pulled in close to the shore, and, paddling slowly along under the overhanging bank. I soon discovered a broad flight of stone steps lying entirely beneath the surface of the water, and leading apparently to some sort of a tunnel or cave. As I made this discovery I had no doubt that the mysterious figure I had seen had emerged from this sunken tunnel, and, upon encountering me, had returned to it with all possible haste. I certainly had no desire to follow him through the submerged entrance to his place of concealment, but I determined to oust him without delay, and leaving my skiff at the boathouse, I returned for a final reconnetter before summoning a gang of men to dig down from above and lay bare the subterranean vault to which the submerged stairway doubtless led. Clambering up on the knoll that overlooked this part of the river, I cast my eye in every direction up and down the stream, keeping as close a watch as possible on the entire landscape, and, even sooner than I had expected, I was rewarded by seeding the fellow's head again emerge from the water about 20 feet off shore. As he shook the drops from his face and glanced about him apprehensively I crouched low down on the ground, back of a brush, and watched him attentively from this point of vantage. His countenance was so distorted with the cold and the water in his eyes that I could not have recognized him even if I had seen him before, and he seemed to swim with great difficulty, doubtless because of the icy chill of the water; but he went bravely about it and struck out manfully for the shore, which he reached in a few sturdy strokes. As he got into shallow water and made his way to the land, I could see that he was fully dressed, even to his shoes, and that he was shivering violently from the effect of his exertion and the exposure to which he had been subjected I was almost on the point of calling out to him and offering him such assistance as I could render lest he should collapse before my eyes, when I discovered that he, himself, had made provision for this contingency. From under a growth of underbrush he hurriedly extracted a heavy ulster or storm coat, and, taking a flask from one of the pockets, he raised it to his lips and drank long and greedily. This done, he drew the coat nervously about his shaking limbs, and, with a hunted sort of a look in every direction but mino, so that I did not get a view of his face, he ran at top speed along the shore and finally disappeared in the trees at the turn of the river. It would have been futtle to have followed him, and I once more began to look about me before calling for aid and having the cavern, or whatever it was, unroofed. The lawn at this part of the grounds was kept in especially good condition, as it lay almost directly in front of the house, and scattered about it were numerous flower beds and clumps of shrubbery. In going over this area carefully and systematically as I did, I was not long in finding in the center of a mass of A man in a boat A Mart's Head Appeared Above the Surface. thickly leaved evergreen bushes, a patch of earth that had evidently been disturbed within a few hours. On brushing away the leaves and dirt, which seemed to have been replaced hurriedly, in an awkward attempt to conceal the spot, I came upon an iron grating like the covering to the manhole of a sewer, but with openings which, if they had been clear, would have permitted a certain limited amount of ventilation. This lid was hinged at one side but was not fastened down and I had no great difficulty in lifting it up so that I could peer into the blackness below. An iron ladder, very much rusted and weather worn, but apparently perfectly strong and secure, was attached to one side of this shaft, and after waiting for a few minutes until my eyes had become accustomed to the blackness of the hole, I could see that it was about 12 feet deep and opened into the arched roof of a tunnel of some kind, the floor of which, as well as the sides and top, was constructed of massive masonry. At times the most level-headed and evenly balanced man is tempted to do some foolhardy thing, and, while I make no claim to any unusual degree of personal bravery, and have not a dare-devil trait in my disposition, I was suddenly seted with an irresistible desire to descend into this forbidding looking pit and investigate it for myself, then and there. My revolver was fully loaded and I also carried a small pocket-lamp which had been given me some time before and which I had found useful on sev- oral occasions, less strenuous, how ever, than the one at hand. With these thoughts in my mind and, it must be confessed, with many misgivings which I strove to keep down and ignore, I propped open the lid of the manhole and descended boldly into the underground passage, holding my revolver firmly in my hand and ready to light my little lamp as soon as I reached the bottom of the ladder. Once in the tunnel I stepped to one side in the direction of the river, where I could not be seen by anyone looking in from above, and tried to accommodate my eyes to the darkness of the place and avoid, if possible, the use of my lamp. After a time I found that I could see fairly well and that I was in a long, narrow tunnel of brick and stone, about six feet wide and seven in height, which shopped gradually down to the river, where it ended in the flight of stone steps that I had seen and which were entirely under the surface of the water. There was a damp, noiseless odor to the place and I soon recognized in it the same graveyard smell that I now knew so well and dreaded so much. I had, however, expected something of this sort, and nerving myself to almost anything that might be disclosed in my search. I proceeded cautiously and stealthily along toward the steps, thinking I would explore that part of the tunnel first, before going in the other direction. I saw nothing of interest until I got near the water, where I found a heavy, warm coat neatly folded and, on it, a whisky flask with the cork loosened, evidently awaiting their owner and indicating clearly that he purposed returning by the route he had taken when he left. Leaving these as they lay, I retraced my steps and passed once more under the open shaft and on up the gentle slope of the passage-way, holding my platoi well in front of me and wondering at what moment some ghastly sight would meet my gaze and account for the constantly increasing fetidness of the place. I had not lighted my lamp, for the faint glimmer that filtered in through the river water and the illumination from the shaft enabled me to see with reasonable distinctness. As I proceeded up the tunnel, however, objects began to grow dimmer and dimmer and I was on the point of striking a light when I heard a sudden crash and saw, to my horror, that the lid of the manhole had fallen shut with a bang, leaving me in total darkness. Before I could ignite my lamp or even collect my thoughts, there was a rush of foul air, from the upper end of the tunnel and then some heavy, lumbering creature brushed past me, breathing into my face a hot breath of unspeakable suggestiveness and wheezing and mumbling like a feeful lion just after a generous meal. I shrank close to the wall of my prison, for such it now was, not knowing what to do or which way to turn, when, to my great relief, the beast, or whatever it was, shuffled awkwardly past me again, still making horrid guttural sounds and breathing deeply as before. A rat, or some similar little animal, scuttled over my feet at the same moment, stopping long enough to bite my ankle sharply, but I made no sound and held my breath until the more formidable creature was well beyond me and left me a free course to the river. As soon as I felt that the coast was clear and that I could not be overtaken, I sped down the incline toward the steps and plunged headlong into the water, which glimmered faintly green before me. Striking out under the surface, I swam as far away from the entrance as I could, and, coming to the top at last, I made for the shore and dashed on to my room for whisky and dry clothing.

GAVE POULTRY WRONG STUFF Equine Tries to Go to Roost, While Egg Layers Become Accustomed to Being Harnessed and May Do Plowing. Caldwell, N. J.-Pinoak Bush, a truck farmer living near this village, drove into town the other day and to a group of men gathered in the local hardware store told a story of a mix-up on his farm which if true is rather unusual. The tale was elicited by the actions of a sorrel horse that, attached to a light farm wagon, stood hitched in front of the place of business. The animal was pawing up the ground, not with bold swinging strokes of the front hoofs, as horses usually do, but with a peculiar scratching motion of all four feet that resembled the efforts of a Shanghai rooster trying to secure the early worm. Every few minutes he would give vent to a peculiar kind of whitmeth, which, if not an exact imitation of a rooster's crow, was about the nearest thing to it that ever a horse uttered. "That darn fool of a horse has an idea he's a rooster, and it's all because I trusted a green Swede to take care of my stock last winter," was Mr. Bush's comment on the actions of the drumped. "Last fall my wife heard of some new fangled chicken food, guaranteed to make hens lay in the coldest weather. Nothing else would do but I had to get her some. Old Dobbin was kind of run down. I'd worked him nearly 20 years, and so I got him some condition powders at the same time that I got the patent chicken food for my wife. "I've got a green Swede working for me and I told him to mix a little of the chicken food with the hen's food and to throw a handful of the condition powders into Dobbin's manger, along with his oats, every time he fed him. I thought nothing more about the matter for more than a month and then Ole—that's the Swede's name—said that he was all out of both the food and powder. "My wife, too, was complaining. She said there was something strange up, for she hadn't got an egg since I first brought the new producer of hen fruit home. I noticed that Dobbin's appearance hadn't improved either; if anything, he looked worse than ever, his hair stood out on his back like so many feathers. "I asked Ole if he had done as I told him; he assured me he had, so I determined to make another trial. Next time I got twice as much chicken food and condition powders as I had at first, and told Ole to double the dose. If there was any virtue in the stuff I was going to find it out. "At Easter we had to buy eggs instead of selling them, and my wife COCK-A- DODDLE DO Dobbin Tries to Roost on the Manger. was madder than any settin' hen you ever saw. I'd been havin' such a good time all winter loafin' around and lettin' the Swede work that I hadn't noticed things much, but havin' to buy eggs with a hundred hens on the place set me to thinking. "I didn't say anything, but began to take observations in a quiet sort of way. When I went out in the yard Johnnie—that's my boy—had two hens hitched to a little cart and was drivin' 'em around just as if they were used to it all their lives. Johnnie said he could drive any of the hens the same way. "'What's more, pa.' he says, 'the chickens don't roost on their perches any more. When night comes they just lay down in the straw in any old place.' "Sure enough, I found what Johnnie told me was true, and when I went into the stable I saw Dobbin had broken the manger down trying to roost on the rail.

It's more than a month ago since I first found it out, but you can't undo in that time what it takes four months to accomplish. I've almost given up hope of ever getting things back where they was last fall with old Dobbin and my wife's chickens. "Yesterday I started in to do some plowing, but I had to quit, because Dobbin stopped to eat every angleworm he could scratch out. I guess I'll have to let Johnnie finish the job with the hens." "Well, there ain't any angleworms in the gravel of the road out there in front of the store," interjected the proprietor of the place, "and as I don't care to have a well dug you'd better move on." As Dobbin and his master passed out of sight around a bend in the road those on the store stoop heard the horse give another very close imitation of a rooster's crow.

Clearfield, Pa.—Samuel Wallwort, a nine superintendent at Erion, was compelled to get out of bed at 3 M. H. He Lined the Whole Family Up. o clock in the morning and accompany a burglar to the library where the family was lined up to watch him open the safe for the purpose of handling its contents over to the robber. The burglar, who was a negro with his face covered with a mask, played a lone hand, but pretended all the time he had a number of accomplices on the outside. He first ransacked the entire first floor. Not finding any money he proceeded to Mr. Wallwort's sleeping apartment and, shaking him roughly, ordered him to get up in a hurry and go downstairs and open the safe. With an ugly looking revolver covering him, the superintendent immediately obeyed. The family of six was then paraded out in their night gowns and the procession silently moved downstairs to the library, where, with the family as spectators and the armed burglar as master of the situation Mr. Wallwort proceeded to work the combination and open the safe. There was' only $1.50 in the cash box, which amount was spurned by the robber. After a thorough search of the house had been made for money the accommodating robber explained that he was not a jewelry thief and that he would not molest any of the valuables of the house. Finding no money he compelled the family to retire to the upper floor and Mr. Wallworth to accompany him out into the yard. Here he told the superintendent to go backward into the house without raising any alarm, saying that disobedience would result in instant death. The burglar then made his escape. MOUSE CAUSES BIG SCARE Rodent in Woman's Hat Starts Exciting Hunt in Central Park. ```markdown ``` New York.—There was a "wild" animal hunt in Central Park the other day, during which the fugitive baffled the efforts of a menagerie-keeper, a policeman and a park laborer to capture him and caused a panic among women visitors. Joseph Cunningham, a duckkeeper, saw Policeman McKue running after a woman on the walk bordering the lake. When overtaken, sobbing and hysterical, the woman explained that she felt an animal crawling about inside her hat. The headgear was so tightly jammed on her head that the man had difficulty in removing it. When they did so a mouse jumped from underneath the lining almost into their faces. Cunningham started after the mouse, which darted among the park visitors. Women scattered and leaped on benches. "Paddy" Marran, formerly keeper of bears, followed Cunningham, but they lost sight of the quarry, and McKue shouted that the rodent had returned to the hat. The intruder was finally driven out of his hiding place and disappeared among a clump of bushes. Tied and Untied. "Was their marriage a failure?" "Oh, no. They were divorced before it had a chance to be that."— Judge.

SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1907 THE TROUBLOUS OUTLOOK. The ordering by President Roosevelt, by way of the Navy Department of sixteen or more battleships to the pacific coast has attracted widespread attention and caused no end of comment both in this country and in Europe. This action is in keeping with President Roosevelt's way of doing things. He will be a rough rider to the end of the chapter. No diplomat on earth would have counselled such a course at this time. If the battle ships had been sent in groups of twos or fours they would hardly have attracted more than passing notice, but he sends them all at once and this action must be regarded as a menace to Japan and is notice to her that she might as well look out for trouble. Had this same fleet been sent to the Philippines, there is no doubt but what the Japanese government would have sounded our state department as to our intentions. The Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Infantry (colored troops) have been ordered to the Philippines and if war follows will be the first to feel the brunt of the conflict. They are good enough to die in the Philippines, but they are not good enough to live in Texas. This kind of treatment will not strike the average colored man favorably. We hope that there will be no war but the outlook is not bright for peace. DRAWING THE COLOR LINE The Interstate Commerce Commission has rendered a most remarkable decision and the full opinion of this tribunal is before us. The conclusions reached are far-reaching in their effect and virtually enable the railroads of the country to make laws for the control of the travelling public nullifying basic guarantees of the constitution itself. The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States provides that "no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States." Here then is a plain violation of the plain provision of the constitution for the privileges of a white citizen are violated in not permitting him to go into the Negro compartment and the privileges of the Negro citizen are abridged by not permitting him to go into the white compartment. One has about as much jus- tification in contesting the discrimination as the other. "The case before the Interstate Commerce Commission, which resulted in the decision upholding the "jim-crow" car law, was brought by Georgia Edwards, a colored woman, against the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway. She invoked the provisions of the rate bill immediately after its passage by Connaught, a generally understood that she was acting for many prominent colored people in the South and North. "Her first move was to purchase a ticket entitleting her to first-class passage from Chattanooga, Teunn to Dalton, Ga. She entered the car assigned to white passengers, and was promptly removed therefrom to the car assigned to the colored people. Through her attorney, she filed a complaint attacking the law and alleging discrimination in the facilities furnished to her as against those provided for white passengers. The commission heard arguments on the case, and while affirming the validity of the law, found the complaint as to inferior accommodations well founded and ordered the railroad to provide equal facilities for colored passengers." According to this dictum, states that have passed "jim crow" laws can discriminate against colored passengers and states that have not passed "jim crow" laws can discriminate against them, providing the railroad companies are willing to assume responsibility for the job. The Interstate Commerce Commission solemnly declares that this is in accordance with the ruling of the Supreme Court of the United States. It will be seen that racial separation is now in order from Maine to Texas, from Maryland to California. The "crumb of comfort" given is that the accommodations must be equal, and it has been explained that equal does not mean the same or just alike. It has been variously described that the Negro's accommodations must be "just as good," and as a rule the railroad company and its attorneys are permitted to pass upon this phase of the question. It is plainly evident that our appeal must be made to public sentiment and not to the courts. Their attitude relative to our rights in this country are as yet hostile. Any rule or regulation, law or statute that permits a common carrier to discriminate against any citizen, white or black on account of his race is tyrannical and oppressive. Traced to its logical conclusion, no hotel has a right to refuse to receive colored patrons and the accommodations must be equal although separate. We now have a national "jim crow" car law, recently promulgated by the Interstate Commerce Commission. There is nothing left to do but to continue to agitate, even though we obey the provisions of this new construction of the law. EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW. It is a singular fact that at irregular intervals, some white orator with a desire for notoriously and a wish for public favor proceeds to solemnly announce the superiority of the white race. He will also emphasize the fact as he regards it that Negroes can never live on a basis of equality in this country, that he belongs to an inferior race and he must know his place and keep it. It would be well for us to remember that white men who are truly superior to Negroes do not go about the country announcing the fact. Their virtues shine with resplendent brilliancy and they are known of all men. It is only men of small minds that boast of racial superiority for the very action in this respect belies the assertions of the man making the vaunting declarations. For our part these blatant utterances of demagogues no longer disturb us. It is our duty to labor on to the end. Merit will tell in the long run and we can afford to pay no attention to these boasting utterances. When colored men realize that white men who are guilty of this conduct are the ones whom we are outstripping they can afford to smile. Let us accumulate money, buy property, engage in business and the result will be soon told. The time will come when there will be another evolution of races. We can afford to labor on and trust to the future for our vindication. THE BROWNSVILLE INQUIRY. That the Brownsville case will result in the undoing of the Republican Party in the doubtful states, so far as the colored voters are concerned seems now to be a foregone conclusion. The party managers are apparently alarmed at the extent of the disaffection. It is announced that the recognition of colored men will be one of the features of the new programme to counteract the effect of the dissatisfaction and that the members of Companies B, C and D will be reinstated either by executive order or legislative enactment seems to be one of the arrangements for the future. It is alleged that the unification of the Republican elements will be to the discomfiture of the Democrats. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA We hope that the report is true, but whether it is or not, we feel safe in saying that the colored people of this country north and south are not ready to submit to the disgrace of their soldiery and the denominating of the innocent members of the 25th Infantry as murderers and assassins without an organized protest. They will oppose the President, Secretary Taft, in fact anybody this side of God Almighty, who advocates such a policy. These men must be proven guilty and there is no provision in the laws of this republic where they are required to prove themselves innocent. The report states that there are limitations that the President was advised by Dr. Booker T. Washington that the resentment of the colored people was confined to the Negro politicians. We cannot understand how Dr. Washington could have made such a blunder. We intend to presume that he did not say it until it is proven that he did say it. The feeling against President Roosevelt on account of this Brownsville affair extends from the colored rag-picker on the dump to the colored president in the financial institutions of the race. The feeling is universal and the colored politician who would justify or condone the Chief Executive's action in this particular might as well have his political coffin ready and his political pall-bearers ready to carry his remains to Potter's field. But then Dr. Washington has not written or spoken on this subject much to our surprise and chagrin. His representatives have given us to understand that no attempt has been made to justify or to approve President Roosevelt's treatment of these colored soldiers and we naturally presumed that they were acting under instructions of their chief. We have never known the distinguished educator to be guilty of double dealing and he holds a high position in the esteem of the race. We are not ready to aid in his destruction or counsel any attempt to bring about his humiliation. We have too few, earnest, honest, self-sacrificing colored leaders for us to wish to destroy, or nullify the influence of any of them, but if Dr. Washington is favorable to the colored soldiers we should be pleased to have him speak out and add the weight of his influence to their case at this stage of the investigation. White men have taken an interest and thousands of them have been forward in expressing their disapproval. The Constitution League has done heroic service in this particular and the results are apparent to all men. The National Afro-American Council, while ill-advised in some of its policies and utterances has come boldly into the breach too, and if it does not handicap our cause by too much radicalism, and damaging declarations will be of great service in this most important struggle. President Roosevelt could settle the whole matter with a stroke of his pen and we hope that he will do so. For our part, we shall continue to agitate the matter until justice is done and the colored people of the country should, both by voice and vote, tell him, tell him he is wrong. Too Much for Pa.

Rockefeller,an Unwilling Witness, Gives Standard Away. VAST PROFITS OF GREAT MONOPOLY New Jersey Octopus Made In Three Years Net Earnings of $199,800,000 and Paid Dividends of $40,800,000. CHICAGO, July 10.—With John D. Rockefeller as the central attraction and other officers of the Standard Oil company as satellites, distinct progress has been made by Judge Landis in his efforts to discover facts upon which to base the amount of fines to be imposed upon the convicted Standard Oil Company of Indiana. The corporation's counsel fought every step with all their might, but the judge was not to be deterred from his purpose. Although Mr. Rockefeller proved an unsatisfactory witness these facts had been sifted from the answers: The Standard Oil Company of New Jersey holds $490,500 of the $1,000,000 worth of the capital stock of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. Outstanding capital stock of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey amounts to $98,800,000. Net earnings of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey for the years 1903, 1904 and 1905 approximates $199,800,000. Dividends paid on the capital stock of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey during those years approximated 40 per cent of the amount of the stock or nearly $40,000,000. The Standard Oil Company of New Jersey holds "by far the major portion" of the stock of the Union Tank Line company. The Union Tank Line company, with a capital stock of $3,500,000, is $5,000,000 in debt and has paid no dividends since 1901. Mr. Rockefeller when he was called walked slowly to the witness chair at the right of Judge Landis and raised his right hand as the clerk administered the cash "to swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God." "Mr. Rockefeller," asked Judge Landis, "have you any connection with the Standard Oil company?" "I am president of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey," said Mr. Rockefeller deliberately. "The position is purely an honorary one and has been for the last eight or ten years," he resumed. "I have taken no active part in its affairs during that time." "What is the outstanding capital stock of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey?" asked Judge Landis. "I believe about $100,000,000 is outstanding," said Mr. Rockefeller. "I do not state this definitely, your honor." "You think, then, it is about $100,000,000?" "That is my idea." "Generally speaking," resumed Judge Landis after a moment's hesitation, "what is the business of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey?" "The production of oil," succinctly replied Mr. Rockefeller, and the crowd smiled. "Your honor," said he, leaning toward Judge Landis, "I have been so long out of business, so long out of this business, that I could not well answer that question. It is a dozen years since I have been actively related with its affairs. It is eight or ten years, your honor, since I have even been in the office at all." "Well, what is your general impression of what the business of the Standard Oil company is?" "They have refineries to refine oil. This is as near as I can say without a study of the charter." "That is all for the present," said the court. Hours before the trial opened the corridors of the federal building were thronged with people of all walks of life, curious to catch a glimpse of him who is said to be the wealthiest man in the world Golf at Cleveland CLEVELAND, O., July 10—Walter Egan of Exmoor, Walter J. Travis of Garden City and Fred Herreshof of Garden City led the field of contestants at the end of the first day's play in the qualifying rounds for the national amateur championship, each taking but 75 strokes. Close behind them were W. J. West of Philadelphia, F. W. Whittemore of Brookline, Thomas W. Sherman of Sadaquda and Ned Sawyer of Wheaton, with 76 each. Jerome D. Travers had 78. Old War Spirit Still There LAWTON, Okla., July 10.—Geronimo, the aged Apache chief, when attending a celebration at Cache as guest of Comanche Chief Quanah Parker, made an effort to escape across the Texas panhandle into Mexico.

Geronimo had heard of the recent trouble with Apaches near El Paso, and he explains that he wanted to go and help his people fight. FLEET MAY VISIT JAPAN. Metcalf Deprecates Talk of War With Friendly Nation. WASHINGTON, July 10.—Special dispatches from Oakland, Cal., say that Secretary of the Navy Metcalf deprecates the warlike aspect that has been given the order of the cruise of the great battleship fleet from the Atlantic to the Pacific fleet. The secretary says that the proposed movement was that of a practice cruise and that the fleet would not be kept in the Pacific permanently. With considerable emphasis the secretary voiced his opinion that the warlike interpretation of the fleet's movement made in some quarters was not justified by the facts. In fact, the widely published reports suggesting hostile preparations seem to be a source of irritation for the head of the navy. "The fleet which will be moved from the Atlantic to the Pacific this winter is coming to this side mercy on a practice cruise," he said. "The fleet will consist of sixteen or more vessels, not more than twenty, and its stay on this side will not be permanent. Of course the fleet will not come here, turn around and go back again. How long it will remain in the Pacific will be determined at the proper time. "There is no sound reason or excuse for all this talk by the public and through the press of an attempt to overweave the Japanese by a warlike naval display. I do not believe that the newspapers are justified or right in so construing and coloring the cruise of warships to the Pacific. It is now considered possible, even probable, that the American fleet will go to the Pacific via the Suez canal and that its real destination is the Philippines, so that San Francisco will have to wait for a view of the fleet until after it has been exhibited in Aslatic waters. Indeed, it is thought possible that the Japanese will have a view of the big fleet before the island possessions of the United States. The decision of course lies with President Roosevelt. --- Dewey Would Dominate Pacific. UTICA, N. Y., July 10.—"It is a pity we have not ships enough to keep powerful fleets in both oceans, but since we have not it seems to me that in the interests of peace it is best at this time that our fleet should be in the Pacific." In this comprehensive and significant sentence Admiral George Dewey, chairman of the general navy board and the hero of Manila bay, summed up the reason and necessity of sending the United States battleship fleet from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the longest cruise of the sort in naval history. To him the 15,000 mile trip is not an experiment in naval mobility. It is for the purpose of keeping peace in the Pacific by seizing as quickly as possible the balance of sea power. BRADLEY'S STORY Boise Court Hears Details of Orchard's Alleged Crime. BOISE, Ida., July 10.—Part of the San Francisco depositions dealing with the Bradley explosion was read to the jury that is trying William D. Haywood for his life on the charge that he murdered Frank Steunenberg. The depositions have an important bearing on the case. Mr. Darrow read the testimony of Mr. Bradley. In his testimony Bradley stated that on the morning of the explosion, Nov. 17, 1904, he started to leave his apartments about 7.36 a.m. He had a lighted cigar in his mouth as he walked downstairs. "I immediately after placing my hand on the knob and starting to open the outside door of the vestibule," said Bradley, "there was a flash of light at the end of my cigar. I thought some one had been joking and that I had been given a trick cigar. Next there was a deafening explosion. My first impression was that I had been shot in the head. My next impression was that I was being asphyxiated and would die if I did not get out. I felt there was a tremendous pressure holding me down. Then there came a lifting force and I was thrown out into the street on to the car tracks. I knew I was on the car track, for I remember feeling I must get out of the way or a car would be along." Wax. Just "Rubberin'." WASHINGTON, July 9.—Neatly attired in a blue gingham suit, but hatless and without stockings or shoes to hide his runned legs, a wee boy slowly walked through the war department building here.

He couldn't or wouldn't tell his name, and he was turned over to the police as lost property. Armor in Apple Protectics Army Is Ample Protection. NEW YORK, July 9.-General Fred Grant, interviewed here, said: "If, as it now appears, the fleet sails to the Pacific I suppose it will go as a test of efficiency.

The action of President Roosevelt in adopting Mark Twain's "purity suit" idea and appearing at church as he did in a spotless suit of white has furnished Oyster Bay with a new sensation which is discussed generally. The idea is sure to have an extensive vogue, as nowhere else are the president's admirers more enthusiastic. Miss Florence R. Schenck, whose name has been linked with that of Charles H. Wilson, manager for Alfred G. Vanderbilt's string of horses, is at the Victoria hotel in New York, having arrived on the Atlantic liner Minneapolis from London. She declared that she was married to Mr. Wilson at Richmond, Va., on Oct 19, 1906. Wilson denies the marriage.

Did Not Send Rival a Bomb. SCHENECTADY, N. Y., July 10.—A jury in the county court acquitted John Hallman, who was indicted for attempted murder and assault in the first degree.

Sherlock Holmes Finds a Ladylove. LONDON, July 10.—Society is pleased and surprised over the announcement of the engagement of Sir Conan Doyle and Miss Jean Leckie.

EDWARD TO REACH IRELAND TODAY Crosses of Diamonds, Stars of Rubles and Emerald Shamrocks, Guarded by Soldiers, Mysteriously Disappear. DUBLIN, July 10.—Officials of Dublin castle are in consternation over the discovery that the jewels of the Order of St. Patrick, valued at $430,000, have been stolen. The officials have stamped because the king, who is the head of the historic order, leaves England today to pay a state visit to Ireland. The thieves got the insignia of the Order of St. Patrick, composed of a star of diamonds with a cross of rubles and a shamrock of emeralds, enclosed in an enameled circle bearing in diamonds a motto and the date 1783, when the order was founded. This insignia is valued at $150,000. The thieves got a diamond badge valued at $80,000 and five enameled jeweled stars of the order valued at $200,000. When and how the thieves got the jewels is a mystery. They are kept in the strong room of Dublin castle and are never exhibited to the public. Sir Arthur Vickars, the Ulster king at arms, the official custodian of the jewels, is ignorant of the time of the theft. The jewels were kept in a room in the Birmingham tower of the castle, the entrance to which is always guarded by sentries. Nearby is Dublin's Scotland Yard, filled with detectives. Lord Castletown, knight of St. Patrick, was the man to have been chief of the state ceremony on the visit of King Edward VII, to Dublin, but it is officially announced that the ceremony will be postponed. Sensational developments are expected. Crank After British Rulers. HOLYHEAD, July 10--Plain clothes officers who are accompanying King Edward and Queen Alexandra on their tour of Wales took a suspicious acting individual into custody here. The man had hidden in the bushes alongside the approach to the residence of Sir Richard Bulkeley just before the arrival of the king and queen. As soon as he was discovered he made frantic efforts to escape, but was captured after a lively chase and lodged in jail. The police had difficulty in protecting the prisoner from the vengeance of an excited crowd of people. The identity of the man has not been divulged. Denounces Teddy Bear Fad DEBENOURS Teddy Bear Fad. "The ST. JOSEPH, Mich. July 9. The "ST. JOSEPH" fad was severely scored by Redy Richard G. Esper from the pulpit in St. Joseph's Catholic church last night. The priests of the toy beasts in the hands of little girls were destroying all instincts of motherhood and in the future would be realized a powerful factor in race suicide. Father Esper spoke earnestly to his congregation, exhorting all parents to replace the doll in the affections of children. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Closing Stock Quotations Closing Stock Quotations.

Sinal and Its Surroundings.—The exact mountain is uncertain, but Hastings' Bible Dictionary inclines to the traditional Jebel Mousa, "Mountain of Moses," 7,363 feet above the sea, in the wild, mountainous region of the glorious range of granite mountains of which Sinal is the nucleus. At its northwestern base stretches Er-Rahah, "the wilderness of Sinal," the only plain in the neighborhood capable of holding 2,000,000 persons, allowing a square yard for each. The camp itself (Palmer) was doubtless more extensive, occupying the neighboring glens and mountainsides, wherever there was sufficient fertility for the cattle. Fronting the plain is a lofty and precipitous bluff, Ras-Sufsaf, whence, probably, the law was proclaimed. The Commandments Are Divine Laws—V. 1. "And God spake all these words," in three ways: (1) by his voice; (2) by writing them on the tablets of stone; and (3) he has written them on the very nature of man. We are not to imagine that nothing of these commands was known before Moses. They were written on the hearts and consciences of men from the beginning. We see them in the early history. They are a lesson for all mankind. V. 3. "Thou shalt have no other gods before me," "Side by side with me," "in addition to me," "in my presence," and therefore "in preference to me." Vs. 4-6. This forbids making any representation of God as a means of worshiping him. The First Reason is that all images misrepresent God. They are not like God. They do not represent God as pictures of a friend represent him to us. The Second Reason. V. 5. "I . . . am a jealous God," i. e., not willing that any other should be regarded as his equal, or take his place in the affections and worship of his people; because no other can take his place; no other can love as he loves, or help as he helps. Every idol god is not only useless, but leads to immortality. The Third Reason. "Visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children." The visitation here spoken of can hardly be any other than that which we are accustomed to witness in the common experience of life (Ex. 34:7; Jer. 32:18). It is a statement of the scientific doctrine of heredity. V. 7. "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain," i. e., lightly, carelessly, thoughtlessly, insincerely. 1. This forbids professing to be God's people, in covenant relations with him, and then acting in a manner that dishonors God and misrepresents him before the world. It disgraces religion, and drives men from God. 2. It forbids perjury. "False swearing is among the greatest insults that man can offer to God, and, as being such, is naturally forbidden in the first table, which teaches us our duty to God. It is also destructive of civil society; and hence it is again forbidden in the second table (v. 16), which defines our duties to our neighbor."—Ellcott. 3. But it does not forbid what is called taking an oath in court; for that is a simple affirmation in the solemn presence of God to tell the truth, ending with a prayer for help to do it. The way these oaths are sometimes administered borders very closely on the breaking of this command. 4. It forbids all profanity, the careless, irreverent use of God's name and of holy things, because it tends to destroy the power of these things over men. 5. It enforces Christ's interpretation that all efforts to support our assertions of a fact beyond the simple "yes" or "no" repeated cometh of evil. It weakens the assertion itself. 6. All thoughtless worship comes under the ban of this commandment. V. 8. "Remember the Sabbath day." Remember implies that the Sabbath already existed. "To keep it holy." Possibly we talk too much about what not to do on the Sabbath. Here is the great thing to do; worship; keep the day sacred for religious duties and inspiration, the culture of the soul of yourself and of others. "In the Old Testament there are four covenants: that with Noah, of which the rainbow was the sign, promising safety from destruction to all mankind; that with Abraham, of which circumcision was the sign; that with Israel as a nation, of which the sign was the Passover; and that of which the Sabbath was the sign for all mankind. The record of the Mosaic Law is called the book of the covenant" (Ex. 24:7). But the main covenants between God and man are two—the Mosaic and the Christian, the Law and the Gospel."—Farrar. Smart Novelty Material Is Known as Bengalinette. Great appreciation is being shown this spring for a novelty material known as bengalinette, a new edition of Bengaline—in other words, a silk fabric with a ribbed surface. The marquisette has been a la mode two years and continues in popularity. But courtiers are on the lookout for a material a trifle stiffer than these chiffon goods and bengalinette meets the requirements. The new fabric is in evidence in all colors, but it is particularly seductive in pale green and old pink. Green was a big factor in the '60's of the last century and the second empire modes now being revived are an example of how much in vogue all styles of the last 50 years are and will be. The empire as brought forth a year and a half ago is seen no more except for evening wear in light transparent goods, and the drapery is particularly adaptable to that class of goods. There is quite a change in the quality of goods used this spring from that in vogue for a very long time past. Now the makers and drapers are showing goods that have decided to to them. In other words, the chiffon no-character stuffs are passe. The handwiring on the wall points to less coquettish modes, for certainly stiff materials will not take all the fullness in drapery and elaboration in handwork that frocks have received the past years. HAIR TIPS. Before dressing the hair rub a little brilliantine into the roots with the tips of the finger, and brush with a baby brush. This makes the hair beautifully glossy and keeps it approximately tidy. Don't forget to have the hair thoroughly cut and singed every three months; it is not sufficient to have long hair clipped. Special attention should be paid to the weak new hairs that spring up all along the central parting. Don't forget to brush the hair for ten minutes with a flexible brush. This may make the head a little tender at first, but tenderness soon wears off. Don't wear pads or additional tails of hair and curls unless absolutely necessary. Anything that prevents light and air getting at the roots of the hair is extremely bad. Don't attempt to restore gray or faded hair yourself; it is best to leave it entirely alone. If dyeing is desirable have it done by skilled hands. Don't use cheap hairpins or combs; they are so liable to drag and break the hair. Adjusting the Veit. The adjustment of the veil is quite other than formerly. Now that the weight of the hat is all toward the back and downward drooping it gives a contrary line if we continue to draw the tulle tightly under the chin and up over the back of the head to knot at the crown. Instead the veil must be drawn across the front of the hat and downward, knotting at the base of the brain. The lower edge of the veil in front comes just to the base of the chin and hangs straight from the hat and quite away from the profile, not shooting out, but not touching the face. This lifts easily and tucks over the hat brim when tea hour comes around. The Rose Garden Hat Roses of all colors and kinds are lavishly used upon the new little long, back brimmed hats that rejoice in the name of garden hats. These tilt down slightly over the face and are best of rough straw in natural or burnt color, although green is also coming to the fore as a favorite. THE HAND MIRROR. A shabby hand-mirror may be made quite beautiful, and fit for the daintiest toilet table with a little trouble. Scrub the woodwork thoroughly in soda and hot water, rinse, and let it get quite dry. Sand paper any little Vase rough places, then paint over with cream enamel, let it dry, then give another coat, then dry again. With oil colors paint the pretty apple blossom design on the handle, and a most charming effect will be obtained. Mrs. Patsle K.

The Problem—Before Paul and Before Us.—The new religion that Paul preached was, as was said of it, turning the world upside down. It introduced new tests of conduct and set up new and exacting standards of living. It banned as wrong, deeds that for centuries had been accepted as proper and even plaus. It is no wonder, therefore, that Paul, writing in those disturbed times, was often obliged to discuss questions of conduct that perplexed the Christians themselves. Some of these were the matter of a rest day, whether they should observe the Jewish Saturday-Sabbath or the Christian Sunday or both; the matter of divorce; the question whether the Gentile converts should be required to become Jews. But the most generally perplexing question, at least for Christians living in Gentile cities like Corinth, was whether they should eat meat that had been offered to idols. On the one hand, they should refuse, partake of such meats, because (1) the practice had been forbidden by the decree of the council at Jerusalem seven years before (Acts 15:29). (2) Because the act was peculiarly offensive to their Jewish brethren. (3) To use the flesh which had once been offered to a heathen divinity, "even in ordinary circumstances, would be an encouragement of the practice of sacrifice; much more to parakee of the banquets which took place in the proclaves of the temple itself, and on the scene of those licentious orgies with which the heathen worship was so often accompanied."—Stanley. (See 1 Cor. 8:9-13.) (4) There was especial danger that the disciples themselves would be led not only into the ceremonial, but the moral pollutions connected with idolatry. (5) There was danger of leading into temptation those who were not strong in the faith, and of inducing them to act contrary to their consciences. On the other hand, it seemed right to partake. (1) The decree at Jerusalem "given in Acts 15 was intended for special circumstances, and not for a universal rule. The letter containing it was addressed only to the churches of Antioch, Syria and Cilicia."—Cambridge Bible. (2) There was no essential wrong in eating such meat. "An idol is nothing in the world." "If they abstained, they seemed to say that an idol was a real being, and so they gave a sanction to superstition."—F. W. Robertson. (3) The prohibition interfered with the Christian liberty, and such liberty is of the utmost importance to all. (4) The prohibition would cause a great deal of difficulty in obtaining meats for food. (5) Any unnecessary burdens on disciples hindered others from becoming Christians. (6) It compelled the disciples to keep away from almost all social and civil assemblies, and prevented them from influencing their heathen neighbors toward the gospel. (7) Such emphasis on matters not wrong in themselves would call attention away from real sins and crimes. It is always dangerous to lay as much emphasis on incidental things, as on the great truths and principles. The parallel with the modern liquor problem is very close in all this. The evil of strong drink ramifies everywhere. There is scarcely a tradesman but may be called upon to work in the interests of the saloon. Newspapers with their advertisements, politicians with their laws, citizens with their votes, artists with their pictures, poets with their songs, farmers with their corn and rye, pharmacists with their drugs, and even confectioners with their candies—almost every one is liable to become involved in the sin of the saloon. It touches, soon or late, every household. Here also, as in the matter of meat offered to idols, there is the fear of driving men from Christianity by appearing to be overstrict, censorious, and "cranky." How far shall a Christian go in conformity to the saloon, and to a society where strong drink is such a power? This is an important practical problem for every one. Practical Points. Eating and drinking are mentioned merely because Paul had been talking about them; the principle he lays down here applies to all life. "The modern idea of some acts being religious and some secular is neither here nor elsewhere recognized by St. Paul."-Ellicott. This principle of doing everything to the glory of God, would put a speedy end to the sale and the use of intoxicants. Could any one run a saloon to the glory of God? Could any one get drunk to God's glory, or even, to God's glory, tipple a little? POINTERS FOR THE WORKER. Don't be afraid of fear. Don't be afraid of overtaxing your strength. Work kills but few people. Don't be afraid to relieve your boss of cares and worries when you can. Don't be afraid of failures. They are often promises of future successes. Don't be afraid to forget your work at times. Your work will be the better for it. Don't be afraid to trust your boss. Confidence is a necessary part of success. Don't be afraid to rest if your health demands it. A strong mind needs a healthy body. Don't be afraid to work out your salvation. Every man must work out his own destiny. Don't be afraid of rebuffs. This may be your employer's method of trying your grit. Don't be afraid of utilizing an opportunity unless you receive orders. Waiting often results in failure. Don't be afraid to give your fellow workman a boost where you can. Generosity shows a man's character. Don't be afraid to watch the successes of your house. The fact that you are in its employ makes you a part owner. FACES—WHAT THEY MEAN. Every person's face is what he makes it. The truly handsome face is made, not born. Unlike clothes, we have to wear our faces all the time. Good features and a healthy skin are nature's greatest endowments. Life is the great face-maker and the mode of life determines the face. Beauty is more than skin deep—it's blood deep, bone deep, heart deep, soul deep. The person who goes through life with a face like a sour pickle is committing a sin. Faces are designed by the Mighty Maker, but they can be moulded by their wearers. To be stared at because of a handsome face is better than to be stared at because of a bulging pocketbook. Life will not make a crooked nose straight but right life will make cheeks ruddy, eyes bright, lips smiling. BRAIN LEAKS. The time of year is near at hand when we find it difficult to see anything funny in the "jokes" about the iceman. A lot of people never hear opportunity knocking because they are themselves too busy "knocking" other people. When you want to take an accurate census of the working members of a congregation, attend a couple of prayer meetings. The man who watches the clock most is usually the man who complains loudest about the size of his pay envelope. A lot of men who have abounding faith in themselves never get energy enough to muster up the work that ought to go with it. The man who defends profanity on the ground that it is a safety valve for his temper, usually finds himself at the blowing off point most of the time. —Will Maupin in The Commoner. RECIPE FOR GOOD MANNERS. Of usefulness, three drams. Of the spirit of love, two ounces. Of the tincture of good cheer, one ounce. Of the essence of heart's ease, three drams. Of the extract of the rose of Sharon, four ounces. Of the oil of charity, three drams and no scruples. Of the infusion of common sense and tact, one ounce. The mixture, recommends Sabia A. Oliver, in the Gentlewoman, to be taken whenever there is the slightest symptom of selfishness, exclusiveness, meaness or I-am-better-than-youness. GOOD THINGS TO KNOW. Honey should be kept in the dark, or it will granulate. Stoves will look nice for some time by rubbing them thoroughly with a newspapar every morning. A glue which will resist the action of water is made by boiling one pound of common glue in two quarts of skimmed milk. Every man stamps his own value on THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. himself.—Schiller. Never mind so much where your work may lie, do it.—Spurgeon. As every thread of gold is valuable, so is every moment of time.—J. Mason. You do not learn that you may live—you live that you may learn.—John Ruskin. There is no trait of human character so potential for weal or woe as firmness.—Greatrix. The time of life is short. The virtue of a man is measured, not by extraordinary exertions, but by every day conduct.—Pascal. Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what clearly lies at hand.—Carlyle. The world is a looking-glass. Laugh at it and it laughs back; frown, and your own gloom is recast.—George Elliot. I have seldom known anyone who deserted truth in trifles, that he could be trusted in matters of importance. —Paley. The acquirement of knowledge is the acquisition of power; the use of knowledge is the exercise of power.— Burton. We cannot understand a character greater than our own until something congenial to it has grown up within ourselves.—Whipple. INVENTED BY WOMEN. Self-heating flatiron. Musical skipping rope. Machine to hang wallpaper. Luggage carrier for bicycles Never sticking window sash. Egg cup adjustable to any size egg. Refrigerator with revolving shelves. Combination lantern and dinner pail.

A singer who never complains of a cold when asked to sing. A woman who, when caught in her second-best dress, will make no apology for her dreadful appearance. A woman, are immaterial, who does not experience a flush of pride upon being thought what she is not and may never hope to be. A married woman who never sald, "No wonder the girls don't get married nowadays; they are altogether different from what they were when I was a girl." A woman who remembers last Sunday's text, but is unable to speak understandingly of the trimmings on the bonnet of the lady in the pew next in front.—Chicago Journal. BY THE WAY. Unless fashion wills it, mankind is a poor paymaster for amusement. No man's usefulness need cease until he has passed away, if he is not lazy. The man who works for immediate results need never expect to grow too great for comfort. The world is inclined to feel pleased over your troubles, if it pays any attention at all.—Uncle Dick in Madison Journal. TRIO OF LITTLE TRAILERS The woman who controls herself and one man could control an army.—Success. After the Reward. Lady—What is it, little boy? Little Jim (carrying a cat)—I came to claim the reward you offered for the return of your canary. Lady—But that is a cat. Jim—Yes; but the canary is inside the cat. Only to Pay the Bills Husband — Another new dress! Where do you suppose I shall get the money from to pay for it? Wife—You must excuse me. I didn't marry you to give you financial advice. Life as a Game bachelor, "is like a game of cards." "It's more like a game of chess from my point of view," rejoined the married man. "I invariably move once a year."—Chicago Dally News.

Her lovers adored her, they asked and implored her And begging for notice the while. They fetched and the carried, they were gone. When snubs for reward did she give; They took it all meekly gave in to her Just asking permission to live. Their worship she scouted, their love lightly flouted. And treated them all with disdain; She met vows with laughing, heart's and mind's tears; And took as just tribute their pain. That they did adore her, the more seemed to bore her, She said they were idiots all, So little did she them that she soon despised them For being the slaves of her thrall. At last came a wooer who scorned to nurse her; reasons to kill. They stared in amusement to see her abasement. For meekly she gave him his way. Just followed the faster when he would And promised-with joy-to "obey." -Josh Wink. A. Fallacy. There once was a man who said, "Life would be great. If didn't have nothin' to do, I'd rhyme up in the morning away after eight An' I'd loaf the whole blessed day through. I'd be jez' as free as the birds in the air; I'd laugh with the river that's gleamin' so fair. An' I'd keep making' friends as I went here and there. If I didn't have nothin' to do." He woke up one sunshiny morning to find them. That he didn't have nothin' to do. And he said, "What a bafflicful relief to him." Such a glorious prospect to view! In a leisurely way I will now venture out An' seek, as I'm carelessly strollin' in Some pleasant companion—I'll find one, no doubt, Who hasn't got nothin' to do." But all of his friends that he called on, he found, Had some恼地'partic'lar to do. Though they said as they saw him jest' loafin' around, "By ginger! I wish I was you!" And even the birds hadn't no time to go. An' the river was rushing along to the bay A Child's Laughter. One thing is the none Hearing its cilium done Knows not well the sweetest one Heard of man beneath the sun, Hoped in heaven hereafter; Soft and strong and loud and light, Weary from morning's rosette hight, When the soul of all delight Fills a child's clear laughter. Golden bells of welcome rolled Never forth such notes nor told Hours so blithe in tones so bold As the radiant mouth of gold Here that rings forth heaven. It is a nightingale, Were a nightingale, why, then Something seen and heard of men Might be half as sweet as when Laughs a child of seven. Remembrance.

THE PLANET SATURDAY.....JULY 13, 1907 STORIES OF CAMP AND WAR AN OLD SOLDIER'S GRATITUDE He Buys a Wonderful Hat for His Benefactress Who Aided Him in Getting a Pension. Letters from Washington made it apparent—it was in the year 1891—that Heinrich Heinbach was going to receive a back pension, dating from 1865. Badly wounded during the civil war, he had applied for a pension, and then forgotten it. Now, applying under the disabilities act of 1890, his old claim had been revived. From my observations of the claimant and the witnesses who accompanied him when he came to my office, I was sure that Heinrich would need some counsel and admonition when he should unexpectedly acquire two or three thousand dollars, says Ada C. Sweet in the Chicago Journal. So I wrote to him, asking him to call upon me, bringing with him his wife. He came, with Mrs. Heinbach, a sensible, hard-working, kindly woman, the mother of four well grown children. I broke the news of their coming good fortune, and Heinrich promised to take his wife with him when he drew his first pension and to carry out her wishes as to how the money should be used. The great day came around, a month or two after our talk, when I listened to the plans of the honest couple had made for the future. They were first to deposit the money, $3,050 and some cents, in a bank. Then they were to buy a little home in a small town near Chicago where there was a factory in which Heinrich and his oldest boy could work, and where the children could go to school and "grow It Was Indeed a Triumph of Millinery Mind. It Was Indeed a Triumph of Millinery Mind. up to be somebody," as Mrs. Heinrich said. "We'll be happy, in our own home, and away from the places where it is so easy to go wrong," she added, with a significant look toward her husband. Heinrich made one meek appeal for $50 to have a good time, once," and this was conceded to him. And later in the day I saw the happy couple go out with their indorsed government check in the wife's pocket, and they were headed straight for the savings bank. I thought I had seen the last of them, but within three hours they returned. Something great was evidently on the mind of the veteran. The wife had an apologetic and subdued look, but nothing of the kind appeared in Heinrich's mien. The new bank book showed their deposit of $3,000, and after felicitations over that, Heinrich arose and brought from the outer office, where he had left it on coming in, a big milliner's box. He had bought for me, as a token of esteem, and in recognition of my efforts to save his money from his rather shady friends, a hat. "She shall have the very best hat in Chicago, I told my wife," explained the old soldier, as he untitled the string from around the box. "I told Heinrich he might not suit you," broke in the wife, "but he would have his way!" "Just this once," said Heinrich. "Every woman likes best of all a fine hat. We went over on State street, and there I had made the hat for you." Now came into the view, from its wrappings, the glorious hat. It was indeed a triumph of the millinery mind, aided by masculine determination. There was first a frame of some kind, and this was piled with ribbons and flowers and lace and buckles and beads, and topped by feathers. It was a large affair, with nothing stingy or contracted about it. As for color, as Heinrich pointed out to me, it could not possibly go wrong, no matter how unreasonable I, as a woman, might naturally be. "I know how particular women are about the colors they wear," he said, "and so I looked out for that. There is every color on this," he continued, as he balanced the bat on his forefinger, and turned it round and round. It was true—no color was wanting. The price, too, was conspicuously displayed, in order that I might have no misgivings. The tears came to my eyes as I saw that the veteran had paid $10 out of his $50, reserved for his "good time, once." I put on the rainbow hat before the little mirror, and I told Heinrich, truthfully, that I had never had such a hat before—never dreamed of such a hat! My every-day hat of brown was contrasted with this new one, and Heinrich felt sorry for me that I could not wear his present every day, a manifest sacrilege, though, which he really could not recommend. "I bet you'll hate to put on that little hat Mondays' after you have been wearing your new one," he said, and he openly glanced upon the contrast between my plain old hat and my new and striking headgear. But there was a look of uncertainty on Mrs. Heinrich's face. She knew that hat was not "my style." But her woman's wit never allowed her for a moment to dampen the satisfaction of her husband in this supreme moment of his altruistic triumph. At last, after many handshakes, the man and his wife went away. As I was laying my treasure in its box Mrs. Heinrich reappeared, alone. "Heinrich was gone down in the elevator," she said. "I told him to wait for me. I know that hat is not for you. It is big enough, but it has too much red, and yellow, and purple, and the pink ribbon is not to you becoming. So I said to the clerk, when Heinrich would have her put on the green feather. 'You must change this,' I said, 'when the lady brings it back.' And she promised it. You go over already and you trade for what you like.' I thanked the good woman for her kindness, and she went away as pleased with herself as Heinrich had been with himself. And there never was, and never will be, another hat built and arraigned like unto that hat from kind old Heinrich Heinbach! LARRY'S PROMOTION. After His War Experience He Became a Veteran and the Pride of His Mother's Heart. "Idle, is it 5t?" said Mrs. Flaherty, bridling. "If armybody had said that same but yerself, Mrs. O'Rourke, that's been the good friend to us all, and fished the bye himself out o' the oud cistern oncect wid yer blessed good grip on the little breeches of him—ah, well, you may call him lile if ye like. 'Tis but a careless way of spaking, and no raile discompliment. "Tubbe sure, Larry's niver one to howd a job beyant the toime the job howdls his fancy. 'Tis Mike's the stiddy one—yis; if he wasn't, whatdiver'd become of him? 'Tis not himself could drop a job in the middle, and take his bit of a rist, and thin get another job any toime, annywhere, the minute he was ready for it. But Larry, that has the way wid him, and the shimle on him—There's a square thing about the bye's ears, 'twas his grandmother used to be saying. 'They niver bear No whin 'tis said to him the first-toime; and whin 'tis repated, 'tis Yis! And that's so. 'Ah, now, Mrs. O'Rourke, ye know betther! Partial? Me? Me that loves the pair of thim as asquil as me two eyes? Ah, thin, niver! But I know what I know. "Whin ye say that Mike's a foe, stildy worker, and shares his wages wid his mother like the good son he is, saints forbid I shud deny it. But me youngest—me Larry—'twas him wint fightin' to Cuby, a picture in his soder choles and ready to be kilt like a hayro. And now he's promoted to be a veteran. Sure, 'twas years after the big war before Patrick was that; but here's Larry, silver shopping like his father to be a corporil and a sergeant on the way, but just making the one grand lape of it, and a veteran at twenty-sixin. "Mike is a good bye; but me Larry, praise hivin! is the pride of his country, and an honor to the Flahertys, and the joy of me ould heart. 'Tis the impartial judgment of a mother." Lindy's Select patronage. It was during the time of the Spanish-American war. An officer of a Massachusetts regiment, carrying under his arm a bundle of soiled linee, called at the home of a colored women living on the outskirts of Jacksonville, who had made quite a reputation for good laundry work among the soldiers.

Repulse of Balloons by Coast-Defense Batteries. The German military authorities have been conducting a series of interesting experiments at the Heubude coast-defense battery, Danzig bay, with the object of determining the efficiency of modern ordinance in repelling captive and free balloons. The battery was equipped with 10-centimeter guns and mortars. Shrapnel was the ammunition used. Floating at a height that varied between 18,000 and 25,000 feet, balloons of 100 cubic meters' capacity were quite easily brought down. Only one balloon escaped inland. Explorer's Widow Marries Dorothy, Lady Stanley, the widow of the famous African explorer, was married a few days ago to Henry Curtis, of whom the world knows little save that he is a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. Since Sir Henry M. Stanley's death, three years ago, she has lived the life of a recluse at Furze Hill, the country place in Surrey, that Stanley bought, and where he is buried. Height of Laziness.

MITCHELL, Proprietress. DESIGN FOR COLLAR DESIGN FOR COLLAR OR IT IS EQUALLY AS SUITABLE FOR TIE ENDS. Something New in Lace Work That Is Not Hard to Work—Directions for Making It. Work 8 chain and join round, a double crochet into the ring just made, *. 5 chain, 2 more double crochets into the same ring, repeat from * until there are 8 loops. 2nd Round: 2 chain from loop to loop all round. 3rd Round: Under the nearest loop work 1 double crochet, 1 half treble, 1 treble, 1 double treble, 1 treble, 1 half treble, 1 double crochet; repeat this group of stitches under each of the other loops. This completes one center or star. Work as many of these centers as will be required for the work in hand. 2nd Long Row: A treble $n$ every stitch with 1 chain between each as far as the last treble before the join, This design, although specially arranged for a collar, is equally suitable for tie-ends, or as a trimming. a treble on the first treble of the next star, and continue, working all round the end and along the other side of the stars. For the Heading—Work a row of chain, joining it to the scallops with longer or shorter stitches as required to make the work level (see illustration); for the stitch which connects the scallops put the cotton 4 times over the hook, catch to fine scallop, work off 2 loops, cotton twice over again, catch to the next scallop and work off all the loops in the usual way. Upon this chain work two rows of double trebles in every other stitch, with 1 chain between each. As colored lace is much in favor as a trimming this season, this design worked with cotton to match world make a very up-to-date finish for colored linen dresses; it would have the advantage of washing with the dress itself, and would, moreover, be very durable. Another practical use to which this lace may be put is an edging for toilet covers. A piece of rather coarse linen hem-stitched at the edge and finished with this pattern, makes an extremely nice cover. Satin Duchesse. Although much is heard of satin duchessine as a trimming that gives weight to thin skirts, this material appears this season in a suppleness unknown to fabrics of which our grand-mothers were so proud. It is also used for separate coats and entire costumes, sharing honors with chiffon taffetas, liberty satin, faille, etc. Naturally it is combined with quantities of lace and embroidery and the luster of the material makes it specially suitable to the fashionable shades of brown, blue, gray, green and lavender. Shampoo. Take one egg and beat light; add one pint and a half of lake warm water and then beat again until the foam reaches the top of a two quart bowl. Wash the hair with this and rinse with two waters, the first warm, and second quite cool, and the hair will be soft and silky, and the scalp as white as snow.

EIGHT THE PLANET SATURDAY.....JULY 13. 1907 SCHMITZ IN PILLORY Judge Dunne Publicly Denounces Ex-Mayor. HIS BRAZEN EFFRONTERY IN COURT Declares He Will Be Candidate For Mayoralty Next Term and Will Then Let the People Judge Him. SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.—Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz, convicted of extortion, was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. When the sentence was pronounced there was a remarkable outburst of applause from the hundreds of persons who crowded Judge Dunne's courtroom. Sentence followed the recent conviction of Schmitz for extorting $1,173 from French restaurant keepers of San Francisco. Before passing sentence the Judge made Schmitz stand up before a crowded courtroom while he scathingly denounced him as a rascal. The audience loudly cheered the condemnation of Schmitz and threw hats and canes in the air. Judge Dunne in sentencing Schmitz said: "You were elected to position because of the confidence and great trust reposed in you by the mass of the people. You have by your willful crim- MAYOR SCHMITZ. final act, so a jury of your fellow citigens has declared, broken that confidence and betrayed that trust." Here Schmitz protested against being "lectured." Judge Dunne took no notice. "Therefore," the judge continued, "it may be said that the penalty which the law permits in this case is insufficient to meet the demands of justice. It may be suggested, however, that by your conviction you will lose the respect and esteem of all good citizens and men; that you will suffer the humiliation of knowing that your career of hypocrisy, duplicity and dishonor—" "I stand here as an American citizen to demand my rights," interposed Schmitz. "I'm not asking any leniency at the hands of this court. I am prepared to receive sentence. I ask that your honor do your duty and pronounce it immediately and that I be not subjected to humiliation and degrading remarks which the papers are copying and will print. I say, if your honor has any self respect, you will proceed with the sentence." "It is not unusual," was Judge Dunne's reply, "for courts to be brought into contact with such brazen acts of effrontery as yours in the present instance. It is the duty of the court in such cases to view the conduct of a convicted felon with patience and toleration, not to say ply. By your conviction you will lose the respect and esteem of all good men and citizens. You will suffer the humiliation of knowing, I say, that your career of hypocrisy, duplicity and dishonor has been exposed and that you stand before those who believed in and honored you morally naked, shamed and disgraced. "It is the judgment of this court that you be confined in the state prison at San Quentin for a term of five years." Schmitz dictated the following statement in court: "I now repeat what I have stated already, that I will be a candidate for mayor of the city and county of San Francisco this fall, when the people of San Francisco will have an opportunity by their votes of demonstrating whether they believe me guilty or innocent. The people are always right. I am satisfied to leave my case with them." Judge Landis then announced that sentence will be passed on the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, which was convicted of using illegal railroad rates, on Aug. 8. The company is liable to a fine of more than $29,000,000 in the many counts in which it was convicted. Chaplaib Hole Accused WASHINGTON. July 8—Dr. Edward Everett Hale, chaplain of the senate, is charged with bearing false witness against his neighbor in decrying in a speech at Boston certain districts of the city of Washington. Prexter to Quit Army PARIS, July 8.—Major Alfred Dreyfus, the former captain of artillery, who was sentenced on a charge of treason to imprisonment on Devil's island, is shortly to retire from the army, as sentencing a pension. A BRAIN STORM PLEA. Harry Kirkstein, Friend of Mrs. Laura Carter, Arrested. NEW YORK, July 10—Chester B Runyan's defense will be insanity. In pleading not guilty to the theft of $54, 410 from the Windsor Trust company on June 20 Runyan's counsel declared that his client inherited a tendency to insanity and that the effect upon him in meeting Mrs. Laura M. Carter was to precipitate an attack. Harry Kirkstein, who, the central office men say, is an intimate friend of Mrs. Carter, was arrested at his home, 262 West Twenty-fifth street, and taken to headquarters, charged with know MRS. LAURA CARTER. Ing something about $25,000 of the unaccounted for money that Runyan says he turned over to Mrs. Carter. Kirkstein will be arraigned today in the Center street court. The detectives who saw Runyan and Mrs. Carter brought to court profess to recognize Kirkstein as the man to whom she signaled on Mulberry street outside of headquarters. The wife blames Mrs. Carter, the woman in whom flat Runyan was found, who betrayed him to the police and whose allied influence over the absconding teller will be made the basis of his defense. In order to secure more information as to the past history of Mrs. Carter the Finkerton men began an investigation of her, especially as to her career in Baltimore before coming here. An official of the trust company said: "We figure it out that Runyan stole from the company prior to his final departure about $16,000, which he dropped in Wall street speculation. To Mrs. Carter he gave $16,000, about $600 of which was given to her a little while before he skipped out for the purpose of furnishing the flat. With $54,410 found in the flat we have accounted for $86,910. On the basis that he stole $96,810 from the company there is still about $10,000 unaccounted for, which we believe this woman stole from Runyan while he was living at her apartments." EXTRA SESSION CONVENES Sent to Both Houses Last Night. ALBANY, N. Y., July 10. — Both houses of the legislature convened in extraordinary session last night, pursuant to the call of Governor Hughes. The governor in a special message, as was expected, proposed for the consideration of the legislature the subjects of apportionment of senate districts and direct nominating primaries, both of which failed of enactment at the regular session. Practically no business was done in either house, and both took a recess until tomorrow at 11 a. m. It is hoped that during the interim the leaders can come to some agreement on the subject of apportionment, which will prevent a repetition of the protracted deadlock of the regular session. Fairbanks Saves Girl's Life Fairbanks Saves Girl's Life. YELLOWSTONE LAKE, Wyo., July 10. Vice President Fairbanks rescued a woman from drowning here and when he left carried the best wishes of a host of persons to whom the incident had become known. Manager Gibbs of the Lake hotel and the vice president were seated on the hotel plaza talking when a shriek at the lake pier startled them. Both rose hastily and saw a woman struggling in the water. Springing from the plaza, closely followed by Mr. Gibbs, the vice president ran at breakneck speed toward the lake. The woman in the water had sunk a second time before he reached the pier and was going down a third time as he jumped into the lake and brought her ashore. Standing of the Baseball Clubs.

KINK·NE Great Hair Straightener and Grower Most Wonderful Discovery ever made for curly, kinky and knotty hair. Makes hair grow long, straight, soft and silky; cures dandruff and stops falling hair. Kink-ine acts like magic on the hair. Kink-ine Is No Experiment. It was discovered by R. Roberts, a famous English chemist, who has made a study of the scalp of colored people for the past 30 years, and who, after much time and experience, has prepared this great tonic for the colored people. This chemist says that his experience and study have taught him that the scalp of the colored people requires a special treatment and after laboring and testing these many years he has discovered the greatest REMEDY the WORLD has ever known for the HAIR of colored people. KINK-INE will make the hair GROW from one to three inches per month, if the directions and instructions are carefully followed out. We have many cases on record where the above results have been obtained, and we do not hesitate when we make these claims. KINK-INE is the only safe preparation in the world that is guaranteed to make the hair straight and make dry hair smooth and stop it from breaking off and falling out; takes out all the kinks and knots, cures dandruff, makes the hair soft and silky, and by nourishing the roots gives it new life and vigor, restoring it to natural color. Read what Miss Elizabeth Jones of Chicago says of KINK-INE: "My hair was not more than three inches long when I commenced to use Kink-ine, six months ago. I have used it steadily since that date and it has grown on an average of two inches each month and it is now more than fifteen inches long. Besides, my hair has become almost straight and I fully believe by the end of the year I will have the most beautiful head of hair of any colored lady in the world." SPECIAL OFFER.—To prove the quality and superiority of our goods over all others, we will sell one full-size bottle of Kink-ine, price 35 cents, one cake of Kink-ine Soap, the best Shampoo and Toilet Soap in the world, price 25 cents, both for only 50 cents, or six bottles and six cakes of soap for $3.00.

Her lovers adored her, they asked and implored her To give them a look or a smile; Like the dogs trotted to tasks she allotted. And begging for notice the while. They fetched and they carried, they dodged and they parried When snubs for reward did she give; They had it all meekly, gave in to her weakly. Just asking permissions to live. Their worship she scouted, their love lightly flouted. And treated them all with disdain. She met vows with laughing, hearts' anguish with chaffing. And took vows just tribute their pain. That they did adore her, the more seemed to bore her. She said they were idols all. So little she prized them that she soon despised them For being slaves to her thrall. At last came a wooer who scorned to pursue her; He ordered her just at his will, Asserting his power, said he would "allow" her His need of affection to fill. They stared in amazement to see her abasement, For meekly she gave him his way, Just followed the faster when he would be. And promised—with joy—to "obey." Baltimore American. All Had Meanings "So the proprietor of this hotel has a big phonograph that plays while you dine?" "Yes, and some of the selections are very appropriate. For instance, if he thinks his guests are getting impatient he puts on such pieces as: 'Life is Too Short to Worry' and 'All Things Come to Him Who Waits.'" "H'm! Pretty good idea." "Yes, but the last selection beats them all. If he thinks you might overlook tipping the waiter he puts on Kippling's recessional: 'Lest We Forget!' Lest We Forget!!"—Chicago Daily News. Sure to Kill. When the celebrated physician, Sir Henry Holland, told Sydney Smith that he had failed to kill either one of a brace of pheasants that had risen within easy range near the latter's home, the witty divine asked: "Why did you not prescribe for them?"

This book tells also about a seven years "Does your husband love you?" we asked. "Madly, devotedly!" she answered. "Are you quite sure?" "Quite. How can I doubt? He has shut me up here in this little cage of a place, where he expects me to spend all my time, with nobody's company but his own. If he does not love me, why does he take so much trouble to make me miserable?"
