VOLUME XXIV, NUMBER 34 KNIGHT ME The First The Grand body THE GRAND COURT IN SESS ING PA Norfolk, Va., July 19, '07. The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A., A. and A. met at the St. John A. M. E. Church last Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr. of Richmond, presided. He brought with him upon his arrival Monday afternoon a boat load of delegates and also the First Battalion. This consisted of Eureka Co. No. 1, Capt. Isaac Moore commanding and Planet Co. No. 5, Lieut. Leroy Brown commanding and the Pythian Cadet Co. No. 1, Capt. Roscoe C. Mitchell, commanding. AT CAMP MITCHELL The Battalion marched out to Camp Mitchell, where the members spent the night. This camp was an unique affair. It was located just over from the Norfolk Baseball Park Major Archer Drew and Major William A. Robinson labored all day Monday to get the camp in shape and had just succeeded at nightfall. Gen. John Mitchell Jr., had a large tent pitched, 14 by 17 feet. In front was an awning and inside was a double bed with springs. It was equipped with fly cover. Col Thomas M. Crump had also a tent of liberal proportions not quite so large but almost as well equipped. There were 22 of these tents. EXCELLENT ARRANGEMENTS The arrangements for feeding the men were well nigh perfect. The discipline was excellent and the guard house arrangement afforded unbound amusement to those who were fortunate enough not to get into it Pythias Co., No. 7 from Danville, Va. came in Tuesday and it was escorted to camp at once. The Norfolk companies finally went in camp and all of the tents were occupied. The boys were delighted. The Cadets had two tents assigned to them and finally got possession of three of them. They did not want to break camp when the time was out. MANY VISITORS THERE Many persons visited the camp. As there were many men who had seen service in the United States army among the number, the results were highly satisfactory. The first day was given to a visit to the James town Exposition. The Pythian Cadets went there with flying colors and gun and bayonet. They remained until late in the afternoon and gave an exhibition drill in front of the Negro building. SPECIAL CARS PROVIDED Special cars were provided for the Grand Lodge and Gand Court through the efforts of the Director General of the Negro Department at a fare of 20cts for the round trip. The building is now completed and the exhibits therein are highly creditable to the management. The exhibit for the public schools of Washington is not yet completed. The North Carolina exhibit is the most notable one in the building, this state having appropriated $5,000 for that purpose and having sent a colored commissioner with it. THE GRAND LODGE MET The Grand Lodge convened promptly at St. John's A. M. E. Church Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. After adopting the report of the Committee on Credentials, the body adjourned until Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. The Grand Court met promptly at 10 A. M. and the same course was followed, adjourning until Wednesday morning at 13 o'clock. The Grand Court degree was conferred at 7 P. M. and the Grand Lodge degree at 8 P. M. and the three degrees of the Improved Dramatic Order of the Knights of Khorassan at 9:30 P. M. There was a large number of candidates for all the degrees. Wednesday, July 17th, the Grand Chancellor read his report. It gave a detailed account of his rulings and decisions and made recommendations that were unanimously adopted. It showed that there are 121 benefited lodges in the state with a membership of 5,264. There are 113 benefited courts in the state with a membership of 3,700 making the combined membership 8,964. The number of new lodges organized during the term was 22. At the conclusion of the reading of his report, the rules were suspended and he was re-elected by a unanimous vote. The feature of the meeting was the harmonious nature of the session. The election of the other officers on Thursday night added "ginger" to the proceedings, but the making of the votes unanimous added much to the good feeling that had prevailed. A GRAND PARADE The parade of the Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias was the finest ever seen in Norfolk at the hands of a colored organization. The companies assembled on Bute Street and a platoon of police accompanied the body throughout the line of march. The best of good feeling prevailed. Brigadier General John Mitchell, Jr., was mounted on a black horse and was accompanied by Col. Casper Rowlett, Col. John R. Chiles, Col. Ferguson, Col. Jesse Scruggs, Col. R. S. Nelson, U. S. G. Patterson, Major W. H. Cunningham Major D. B. Cornish. The Pythian Cadet Fife and Drum Corps of Richmond, Va. led the parade. SOME OF THE OFFICERS Col. Thomas M. Crump, commanding was accompanied by Capt. Thos. H. Wyatt, Capt. W. Henry Jones. Major William A. Robinson was accompanied by Lieut. B. H. Peyton, Lieut. J. Alexander Lewis, Sergt. R. H. Fauntleroy and Sergt. E. T. Pollard. Major William H. Tyler, commanding in the First Battalion, Second Regiment was accompanied by his staff. Maj. Archer Drew, senior officer was in command of the second Regiment. Major B. F. Jackson was in command of the Third Battalion, Second Regiment and was accompanied by his staff. COMPANIES BALLIED The following Companies were in line: Eureka, Co., No. 1, Capt. Isaac Moore commanding; Planet Co., No. 8, Lleut. Leroy Brown, commanding; Mitchell's Reserve Co., No. 21, Capt. W. T. Bell, commanding; National Co., No. 6, Capt. W. F. Harris, commanding; Norfolk Co., No. 9, Capt. Henry Hill commanding; Conaway Co., No. 18, Capt. Lee R. Layne, commanding; Roanoke Co., No. 4, Capt. W. S. Hobson, commanding; Maceo Guard Co., No. 16, Capt. John Stewart commanding; Mannings Co., No. 10, Capt. Samuel Hodges, commanding; Benevolence Co., No. 17, Capt. R. H. Wilkerson commanding; Pythian Cadet Co., No. 1, Capt. Roscoe C. Mitchell, commanding. The maneuvers along the line of march were brilliant and spectacular and attracted much favorable comment. Mitchell's Reserve Co., No. 21 of Newport News, wore white summer fatigue uniforms. The Cadets wore white duck bell-crown caps, blue blouses and white duck pants. They drilled with precision and were easily the favorites among that large number of knights marching in unison. MAIN STREET THRONGED. Main Street was thronged with RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 27, 1907. white people as the parade passed and they all seemed well disposed and kindly to the colored Pythians. The representatives of the Improved Order of the Knights of Khorassan rode in carriages with their oriental costumes. The rain storm overtook the line but the First Regiment had made double quick time and were in the church before it descended with all of its fury. The others paid little or no attention to the rain and completed the march in good order. The people were loud in their praise of the display made. THE EXERCISES AT CHURCH. At night, the exercises in the Church took place. Grand Chancellor Mitchell presided. Prayer was offered by Rev. W. E. Mitchell of Pocahontas, while the choir of the church rendered excellent selections. The Grand Chancellor delivered an address and the meeting was a success despite the breaks in the programme arranged by the local committee. The solos rendered by the local talent were superb and the applause that greeted the singers was gratifying to them. Rev. F. W. Williams delivered a most excellent welcome address. He closed with deafening applause. THE STOCK RALLY. The stock rally resulted in over $400,00 being raised for the business department. Nottoway Lodge, No. 79 of Blackstone, Va. won the set of lodge jewels and Venus Court, No. 47 of Richmond won the set of court jewels offered for the body that raised the largest amount of money in the stock rally. OFFICERS ELECTED Thursday morning at 9 o'clock, the Grand Lodge was called to order and the business was transacted rapidly. The call of the roll of the various lodges elicited the information that the knighthood was in a most prosperous condition. The election of officers resulted as follows; Grand Vice Chancellor, T. J. Pree of Newport News; Grand Prelate, R. L. Jackson of Pocahontas; Grand Keeper of Records and Seal, Thomas M. Crump, Richmond; Grand Master of Exchequer, H. F. Jonathan, Richmond; Grand Lecturer, William M. Reid, Portsmouth; Grand Inner Guard, C. B. Brown, Covington; Grand Outer Guard, J. H. Page, Roanoke; Grand Medical Register, E. R. Jefferson, Richmond; Grand Master of Work, N. A. Twitty, Suffolk; Grand Master-at-Arms, George W. Dandridge, Richmond. Supreme Representatives, John Mitchell, Jr., and Thos. M. Crump. The next place of meeting will be Danville, Va. THE GRAND BANQUET It was after 12 o'clock Thursday night when the body adjourned and retired to Amusement Park. Here was a large spacious place occupying a block of space. Tables had been spread with all of the delicacies of the season. It was on the order of an amphitheatre. In the centre the Pythian Cadets drilled amidst the applause of the large course of people who had assembled to witness the exercises. Never in Virginia has such a display been made and every body was happy. When it was over the boys were so tired that they slept anywhere and were only aroused by the call to the table where they "loaded up" with all of the delicacies of the season and cooled off with ice cream. A LACONIC ANSWER. On the outside were rows of knights in uniform. When asked why they were there, they lacoonically replied, "Whaling for the Cadets." The Major announced that he would strike tents at 5 A.M. and the order to be at the wharf at 8 A.M. was rigidly observed as the men and boys with blankets and camp luggage were seen wending their way to their destination. Thus endeth one of the most pleasurable sessions of the day, the body tied $256.00 to the Union Boat Department, which has become such a drawing feature of these annual meetings. (Continued on Eighth Page.) The Fifth Street Baptist Church Trouble—White Divine in Charge. The end of the trouble at the Fifth Street Baptist Church is apparently in sight. Judge Grinnan has appointed Rev. Dr. Willingham, (white) to take the vote next Monday night, July 29, 1907 and this will decide the question as to which side shall be in possession of the church. Those desiring the removal of Rev. Dr. A. E. Edwards will have an opportunity to vote that way and those who wish him to remain will be accorded a similar favor. Judge Grinnan is said to have ruled that any and everybody, who has ever been a member of the church shall be entitled to a vote, whether they have contributed to the support of the church or not. There has been much sparring as to the securing of a presiding officer upon which both factions might agree. Finally Rev. A. Binga, D. D. of Manchester, Va. was agreed upon, when with a farseeing vision, he declined the honor. If either the one or the other faction is successful, there will be a long period of discord among the members of this flock, which may result in the enrolling of another church on the roster of the Baptist Directorate. The following appeared in one of the leading daily papers in the city on Monday, July 15. 1007. LONG PROCESSION "More than ninety carriages at funeral, not counting buggies and other vehicles, constituted what is said to have been the largest colored procession ever seen on the streets of Richmond. It was the funeral yesterday afternoon of Mrs. Patsy Keille Anderson, a leading colored woman here and one of the head officials of the great Negro order of St. Luke's. When the procession turned into Broad Street at Fourth it cut off all traffic and banked up street cars for two blocks deep. Crowds of people were also halted on all four corners and it required fully ten minutes for things to resume their normal appearance. Mr. A. D. Price, the popular and well-known Funeral Director, 210 E. Leigh Street directed the entire procession which was divided into three sections, each section was superintended by one of his trained assistants. The long line of vehicles was handled with great skill and promptness. With Mr. Price in supreme direction assisted by three competent assistants not an accident or drawback nor injury of any kind occurred. The organizations represented on this occasion are loud in their praise of the most efficient service given them by Mr. Price. Dropped Dead Mrs. Anna Harris, colored, dropped dead on Third Street, near Clay St. Tuesday morning last shortly after seven o'clock. She was on her way to the grocery store to make some purchases. She lived at 520 N. 3rd Street and was apparently well a few moments before. Mr. Scott Here. Mr. E. F. Scott of Clifton Forge, Va. spent last Saturday and Sunday in this city, the guest of Mr. William Custalo. A fine dinner was enjoyed at the cosy residence, 729 N. 9th Street, after which the party enjoyed a carriage drive Sunday afternoon as the guests of Editor John Mitchell, Jr. Mr. Scott left for his home at 11 o'clock Sunday night. Died Suddenly Sir Knight Gilbert Matthews' remains were brought to this city Friday afternoon, 19th inst. and conveyed to Price's Undertaking establishment. He was in camp at Norfolk with the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, when he was taken sick from overloading the stomach with crabs. He was swollen greatly and the com-manding officer hurried him to the hospital, but he died on the way there. The funeral took place from Price's Chapel, 212 E. Leigh Street, and interment was made in Evergreen. He was accompanied by Planet Co., No. 8 of which he was a member and Eureka Co., No. 1, assisted in forming the escort. Sir Matthews was a member of Royal Lodge, No. 26, Knights of Pythias and the lodge also accompanied the remains. —Read our inducements on the 3d Page and hustle for the prize you want.

Jefferson and Superior Court was organized through the efforts of Mrs. T. Taiton District Deputy Grand Worthy Counselor. Grand Worthy Counselor John Mitchell, Jr., was outspoken in his commendation of them. It was the first time that he had organized a court in this manner. Two sets of officers were seated side by side. Refreshments were served in abundance in the dining hall and all heartily enjoyed themselves. It was indeed a merry party. Drowned in the Dock. A colored boy, named Alfred Dudley residing at 1407 N. 17th St. was drowned in the dock in this city last Tuesday. He had stripped and proceeded to dive in the neighborhood of 18th St. He went down and a short while it became evident that he was drowned. The body was recovered and it was some time before it was identified by some of the boys in the neighborhood. Letter-carriers will not be permitted to ride to and from their homes free now except when on actual duty. The presumption is that the recent increase in salary will be disposed of by the Department in this manner. LADIES, If ever you had a good bargain now is your time. To put in improvements and a general change in business, I will make a great sacrifice of goods on hand. You can get a beautiful hat, trimmed nicely and stylish for $1.00, suitable to wear with any nice dress. All untrimmed goods almost for nothing. In fact I have already given away to those that are unable to buy. Come and see. M. D. CHAMLEE M. D. CHAMBLE 316-318 E. Broad Street $150.00 Endowment Paid. Norfolk, Va., July 8, 1907.

[Washington Post, July 19, '07.] Protesting against the jim-crow cells at the Police Court, alleged discrimination in the government departments, and the manner in which Negro women are being sent to the workhouse, a number of colored lawyers, ministers and business men meet last night at Trinity Baptist Church and perfected what will be known as the District Branch of the NationalEqual Rights Council. The object of the organization, acording to its organizers, is to protect the rights of the Negroes of the District. That is to say, the councilmen will exert every possible effort to have colored prisoners entertained in the same cells in which white prisoners are incarcerated. They object to discrimination in the matter of prison accommodations. The council especially objects to the jim-crow law, no matter whether it applied here in the District or else where. It is insisted there should be no distinction between the races. THREATEN GENERAL BOYCOTT. If the Negro women who are found guilty of offenses by the police judges are not allowed to go free, on the payment of reasonable fines, the council promises to start the boycott in the servant line. "Some morning when the white people wake up and look about for their servants," said one of the members last night, "they will be treated to a surprise. They will have to get their own breakfast, for there will be a boycott. The council is organized for a specific purpose, and that purpose is unqualified equal rights. Until they get that right, or sufficient recognition where Jim crow cars are built, they will continue to wage a fierce war on the Caucasian race. They also declare that to attain their object they intend creating a colored "attorney general" who will be detailed each day to the Police Court to look after the interests of the Negro race. Also the council proposes shattering the alleged discrimination in the selection of juries. It insists there shall be more Negro jurors. DEPARTMENT ROW DISCUSSED The recent friction between a white and a colored clerk in the Treasury Department also has commanded the attention of the council. The members object strenuously to the alleged feeling between the two races represented in the departments. There should be complete harmony, the Negroes should be accorded the same courtesy and consideration as the white man, is their contention. The Jim crow cars should be abolished, they say. The law that created such a condition is a blemish on the Constitution, they aver, and should be repealed. The council is yet in its infancy, but the members assert they will lose no opportunity to make the influence of the organization felt. Among those present at the meeting last night were W. Calvin Chase, Rev. J. Anderson Taylor, Thomas L. Jones, and a score or more lawyers. Rev. J. Anderson Taylor was elected president and Rufus Delaney, vice president.

These are the paragraphs that interested me most: “I give and devise unto my said grandson, John Glenarm, sometime a Fesident of the city and state of New York, and later a vagabond of parts unknown, a certain property known as Glenarm House, with tho lands and hereditaments thereunto _pertatning and hereinafter more particularly de scribed, and all personal effects, goods and other property that may de located in the premises and on the land herein described,—the said realty lying in the county of Wabana in the state of Indiana,—upon this condition, faithfully and honestly performed “That sald John Glonarm shail re main an occupant of said Glenarm House and of my lands appurtenant thereto, demeaning himself meanwhile in an orderly and temperate manner Should he fall at any tlme during said year to comply with this proviston, sald property shall at once revert to my general estate, shall become, with out reservation and without necessity for any process of law the property absolutely, of Marian Devereux, of the county and state of New York.” “Well,” he demanded, striking hts hands upon the arms of bis chair “what do you think of It?” For the life of me T could not help Yaughing again.

Philadelphia.—Whether it was a wild man or not, no one knew, but when Albert S. Lindsay was seen wandering through the woods in the neighborhood of Niceton and Harrowgate lanes in decollete Adamesque, and covered with mud, a number of children fled, screaming. Mr. Lindsay had accompanied a party of picknickers to a piece of woods in the neighborhood aforementioned and was, in the absence of hindrance, diverting himself in a pond thereabouts. Unseen, some boys took his clothing and hung it upon a gate far south of the pond and left Lindsay to his primeval fate. Discovering his dilemma he began a search of the woods for a barrel. Finally he found one, and, jumping 2016 The Motorman Stopped for Him. Into it, made his way to the Second street pike, where a motorman on a passing Fox Chase car took in the situation and stopped for him. Once on the car he was the sympathetic care of the passengers. The motorman's great coat was wrapped around him, and by a process of displacement the folds of the garment were made to take the place of the barrel. This was tossed into the street. Then the conductor paid his fare and he was let off at Sixth and Norris, the neighborhood of his home. He then telephoned the police, who informed him that clothing answering his description had been brought there by a woman who had grave fears that the owner had been murdered or had drowned while swimming. Nothing in the clothing was disturbed. MAN DROPS 600 FEET. Has Narrow Escape From Death In Attempt to Get Young Eagles. Colorado Springs. Colo.—Fighting with an eagle whose huge talons cut the rope that held him suspended from a cliff near 600 feet above the ground, hurled down the wall of rock and then picked up bleeding and cut in a hundred places, but still conscious, it seems almost incredible that Frank Schreiber was not killed in North Cheyenne canyon the other day. When rescuers arrived they found Schreiber, who is 21 years old and of powerful build, clutching a young eagle, which he had taken from its nest and which had tried to escape from him when he reached the bottom. Its companion had been killed by the fall and on a ledge near the top of the cliff the mother bird lay dead. Schreiber and a companion, Andy Weiss, had planned for several weeks to scale Eagle's Cliff and capture the birds, whose nest had attracted the attention of thousands of tourists. The mountain rises sheerly to a height of 789 feet and few persons, if any, ever trod the ground that Schreiber climbed. It would be impossible to reach the place except by the round-about route which the young men took in carrying out their plans. They were armed with a long rope, which they swung from a ledge about 20 feet above the eagles' nest as a protection against accident. Schreiber managed to climb down, his companion holding tight to the rope above. Schreiber had reached his goal and taken two of the little birds from the nest when the mother swooped down upon him. Then ensued a fight that might have meant death to Schreiber on the spot had he not struck the bird with the butt end of a revolver. He had hardly replaced the gun in his pocket when the rope to which he was clinging, weakened by contact with the eagle's claws and the rocks, broke and Schreiber fell to the bottom of the cliff. Several times during the descent his body struck against projecting pieces of rock and to this fact, which broke the fall, he probably owes his life.

ARE FRIGHTENED BY STORM SixYear-Old and Guardian Alone in Home of Former's Folks Five Days—Nearly Starved When Found. St. Louis.—Bertha Nevilles, 13-year-old nurse girl, who ran away from Washington, Mo., with Guinette Andrews, six-year-old daughter of her employer, arrived in St. Louis accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Kate Nevilles. ```markdown ``` A longing to see their mothers caused the girls to walk over muddy country roads to Gray's Summit 14 miles east. For five days they had been practically alone in the Andrews home at Washington, while Mrs. Andrews was visiting her husband in St. Louis. "We waited and waited," said Bertha. "Every time a train came we thought Mrs. Andrews would come, but she didn't. The little girl almost had hysterics. She kept calling for her mamma. "I couldn't do anything with her, and I was afraid she would go into spasms. There was no money in the house, and all we had to eat was the eggs we got from the henhouse and some bread Mrs. Andrews left for us. "Dotsy,' that's her pet name, couldn't sleep.

We cried and cried together and talked about our mammas. 'Dotsy' begged me to take her to St. Louis. I thought maybe they would carry us free on the train if they knew we were going to our mammas. "A big cloud was coming up. It had been storming all the time Mrs. Andrews was gone. 'Dotsy' begged me to take her away from the cloud. She said she would die if there was another storm.

Andrews rooms with his son on Sheridan avenue. Mrs. Andrews has been visiting him frequently.

TERMS IN ADVANCE ADVERTISING RATER It seems now that the railroads of the country are in about the same predicament as the Negroes. Everybody seems to be taking a "whack" at them. They allege that they cannot get justice, and as an evidence of this fact, have abandoned the State courts and gone direct to the United States Courts, where the colored folks have been going for years. We hardly think though that there has been a railroad man in the United States who has looked at this matter in this light. We know that we feel as though we can get some sympathy when the fight is over. To be in the predicament of a "yellow cur," with every one throwing a rock at you, is not pleasant, and yet this has been the predicament of our people for more than forty years. Some of the same argument advanced against us is now being used against the railroads. The white men now composing the corporations will realize the full force and effect of the divine declaration, "The same measure yomete; the same shall be measured to you again." TROUBLE AT WASHINGTON. The colored people of Washington have deemed it proper to fight "jim crow" discrimination in the jails and workhouses of the District. We cannot say that it makes much difference one way or the other in that department, but evidently the idea was to begin at the bottom and work upward. We cannot see that there should be any discrimination in Washington, in view that the Civil Rights Bill as enacted into law is in full force and effect. We are of the opinion that indiscreet utterances will do more harm than good. It is better to wield the weapon than it is to threaten to wield it as these white folks are very well posted as to our strength in any direction, and they are also kept well informed by conveniently inclined colored folks as to our dispositions and temperaments. Our experience has been that there is relatively more race prejudice in Washington than there is in Richmond. The colored people of Washington, or, at least, some of them, are largely responsible for this anti-Negro feeling. Many colored people, who move to these sections do not seem to know the value of politeness. They are loud in demanding their rights and slow in enforcing them when they are denied. In their impotency they give voice to language that tends to estrange peo- ple who would be disposed to champion their cause. The greatest draw-back is our poverty. The vaporings of a moneyless people have a tendency to awaken ridicule. We should accumulate money. A man who is not able to contend for his rights upon his own responsibility is handicapped in court before his case is even heard. The law is so construed as to permit a Negro-hating white man to do just as he pleases, and it takes the best white talent with the best kind of gentlemanly Negro material to get a favorable decision in a court of law. Some of our people will yet realize that a reversal of these onerous conditions will take place in the South-land. When white Southerners champion our cause, as they will ultimately do, the Northern acrobat on the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States will be as forward in ruling in our favor as he has been in rendering decisions against us. For our part, we have been relegated to the Devil, so to speak, and all applications for relief on our part are now being addressed to His Majesty. When colored folks are discriminated against in the jails of Washington, the official home of President Roosevelt, whose word there is law and whose nod is a command, then we might as well "hang our harp upon the willow" and be silent for many days. COLUMBIA SINKS. California Excursionists In Marine Disaster. OVER A HUNDRED FIND DEATH Officers Stand to Duty Bravely to Rescue Women. CAPTAIN GOES DOWN AT HIS POST Steamer From San Francisco For Portland, Ore., In Fog Run Into by San Pedro Off Shelter Cove, on North California Coast—Sank Instantly, Carrying Almost Entire Passenger Complement and Crew to the Bottom — Boats Launched Were Soon Swamped—Those Saved Swam to the San Pedro and Were Taken Aboard. SAN FRANCISCO, July 24—So far as is known, between 100 and 150 lives were lost in a midnight collision between the steamer Columbia and the steam lumber schooner San Pedro in Shelter cove, twelve miles southwest of the Mendocho-Humboldt line. The Columbia, a 300 foot steel vessel of the San Francisco and Portland Steamship company, while bound from San Francisco for Portland, Ore., with 180 passengers and a crew of sixty, was rammed by the San Pedro, a wooden steamer, southbound, for this city. The sea was smooth, but the weather was foggy. The San Pedro, looming out of the mist a few ship lengths away, bore down on the Columbia at high speed, despite frantic efforts to clear. With a grinding crash she sank her stem fully ten feet into the Columbia's port bow. Nearly all of the Columbia's passengers and many of her crew were asleep when the crash came. As the San Pedro backed away the sea poured in through the ragged hole in the Columbia's bow above and below the water line, and in five minutes she sank to the bottom, the deep waters of Shelter cove covering the tops of her masts. According to J. S. Flynn, a passenger, Captain Dorian of the Columbia succeeded in launching four lifeboats and two rafts before the vessel sank. Captain Doran, Flynn says, acted with great coolness in the face of death and went down with his ship. From reports received all the officers of the Columbia did their duty bravely and tried to save the women and children, but they were powerless. Feeling the steamer sinking beneath their feet, many of the men among the Columbia's passengers and crew leaped into the sea and swam to the San Pedro, which could be made out drifting away through the fog. They alone, it seems, were saved. One lifeboat was launched, but it was swamped the moment it reached the water by the rush of frenzied men and women. All who were in it are believed to have perished, drawn under the water by the suction of the steamship when she went down with a final rush, her decks still dotted with screaming men and women. At the last moment the stern of the Columbia rose high above the water, and many of the victims slid the length of the deck as the vessel shot beneath the water. Captain Doran clung to the bridge and apparently made no attempt to save his own life. The San Pedro, a wooden boat, was severely damaged by the collision, but was kept afloat by her cargo. Finding their vessel was safe for the time, the crew of the San Pedro turned to the task of rescuing the Columbia's passengers, and about eighty who had reached the sides of the freighter were drawn on board. Boats were launched and a number of others who had clung to wreckage were found and taken on board. Survivors among the passengers of the Columbia say that the San Pedro was not seen until she burst through --- THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA the fog curtain less than a hundred feet away and headed straight for the passenger steamer. Why the fog horns were not heard is not made clear. Many of the drowned were residents of San Francisco. Others lived at Portland, the Columbia's destination, and other towns along the north coast. The coast line where the disaster occurred is marked with dangerous rocks, many of which tower high out of the water. The winds are treacherous, and frequent collisions in the vicinity have not been uncommon. Miss Leidell stated that she was asleep in her berth when the accident occurred. She ran out on the deck and leaped into the water, as she thought, but fortunately she landed on one of the half submerged rafts and was not badly hurt. She said a woman with a child in her arms followed, but fell into the water, and both were drowned. Just before the Columbia went down, Miss Leidell said, Captain Doran tied down the whistle cord and, throwing his hands up, cried out: "Good by. God bless you!" Sixteen names were added to the list of survivors of the Columbia-San Pedro collision when a ship landed at Shelter cove with sixteen survivors. The boat also contained two dead bodies, that of Mrs. O. A. Lewis of Pasadena, Cal., and an unknown man, presumably a sailor. STEUNENBERG MURDER TRIAL Richardson at Boise Pleads For Haywood's Life. BOISE, Ida, July 24.—A verdict in the now celebrated trial of William D. Haywood for the murder of ex-Governor Frank Steenunberg of Idaho is expected this week. The case will likely go to the jury on Friday, and the prisoner will know his fate by Saturday. The summing up for the defense was begun by Attorney Richardson, who started the final argument on which the prisoner depends largely to secure his freedom. Mr. Richardson denounced and charged the Pinkerton Detective agency with a systematic plot to secure the conviction of Haywood, Moyer and Pettibone as a means to the desired extermination of the Western Federation of Miners. "Think of this creature associating in a friendly way with a senator of the United States. I do not know that Orchard calls Senator Borah Bill, but I do know that the senator calls Orchard Harry. "Why did Orchard attempt to commit suicide after he had made his confession to Pinkerton McParland? He says he confessed to clear his conscience and to make his peace with God. Why, then, after such a confession, should he have attempted to take his own life? There was no reason for it." Richardson declared that none but this "accused criminal Orchard" had been brought to court to defame the name of Haywood—a man who had always led an exemplary life and had always been an exemplary citizen, proud of his name, caring ever for the invalid wife who sat at his side during the trial. MARK TWAIN'S NEW CHUM Little Girl Captures Heart of Humorist on Homework Trip NEW YORK, JYK 24—Feeling, as he said, younger than ever in spite of the seventy-two years, "with the additional privileges that each year brings," Mark Twain arrived from London on the steamer Minnetonka. The humorist was clad in his celebrated suit of white fannel, and he made rapid fire answers to the equally rapid fire questions of more than two scors reporters who gathered about him on the promenade deck. As he talked he sat in a big steamer chair, and in his lap nestled a little girl, Dorothy Quick, the daughter of Mrs. E. G. Quick, who were fellow passengers on the voyage. The white haired, white clad man said he had taken a great fancy to the little girl. "We've been great chums, Dorothy, haven't we?" and Dorothy said that that was no joke. "Is it true you stole the Ascot cup?" "Yes, yes. I have it on board with me now, down in my stateroom." "Did the crown's jewels escape you?" "Yes. You see the character they framed up for me was such that I could not take the jewels without taking the safe, and they had the safe chained," replied the learned doctor. WANAMAKER'S FIRE HOODOO. Lyndenhurst Stables Burned, With Three Horses-Loss, $100,000. PHILADELPHIA, July 23. — The stables on John Wanamaker's estate, Lyndenhurst, near Jenkintown, a suburb, were destroyed by fire yesterday, entailing a loss estimated at $100,000. Lyndenhurst, Mr. Wanamaker's country home, was destroyed by fire February last, causing a loss of nearly $2,000,000. At the time of this fire valuable paintings, bronzes, statues and bric-a-brac were stored in the stables. The paintings had since been removed, but many articles remained. Folk Respiter Barrington JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., July 24.—Governor Folk has respited from death "Lord" Barrington and gives as his seasons for granting the respite to Barrington that he desired to have time to investigate fully and consider the petition presented by State Supreme Judges Graves and Valliant for commutation of Barrington's death sentence. When "Lord" Frederick Seymour Barrington was informed of the respite granted him he expressed little feeling. "I expected that," coolly remarked the man, leaning against the bars of his cell. To Rescue Cold MacLean TANGER, July 24.—The mission of Sheriff Onezzan to obtain the freedom of Cald Sir Harry MacLean, who is a prisoner of the bandit Raisul, has proved a complete failure, and now Cald Mehalla at the head of 1,270 men has started for the Elknes territory, where Raisul is in hiding with his prisoner, to bring about the Englishman's release by force. FRENZIED KOREANS. Mob at Seoul Sack and Burn Ministers' Homes. TRY TO MURDER ENTIRE CABINET Marquls Ito, Representing Japan, Short of Troops, Hesitates to Proclaim Martial Law-Jap Re-enforcements Coming. SEOUL, July 21.—A concerted effort was made to murder the entire cabinet by a vast mob of Koreans here. The emperor of Korea, Li Hung, has abdicated his throne and is succeeded by his son, the crown prince. After harangues at the Temple of Heaven a mob of 2,000 marched a mile to the house of I Wan Yung, which they sacked and burned. The same fate was then visited on the homes of the prime minister and others. The same mob then went to the home of the minister of war, near the old palace, but here they were met by Japanese guards, who repulsed the rioters, killing and wounding many. Marquis Ho delayed his arrival at the emperor's audience an hour, while the foreign consuls general waited. The marquis approached in great state, with a heavy guard, especial precautions being taken while passing the palace, where the suspected battalion of Korean imperial guards was closely GENERAL HASEGAWA [In command of Japanese forces in Korea.] interned in the barracks of the gate. The number of machine guns was doubled, covering all the main approaches to the palace. Desultory rifle fire was heard at intervals. General Hasegawa, commander of the Japanese troops in Korea, regards the situation as being now well in hand. The two government arsenals are guarded by Japanese soldiers, and although the number is not large they are under orders to explode the magazines if they find themselves unable to defend them. The Korean troops are frequently harangued by civilian sigitators, who take up their stand at the entrances to the barracks. The Koreans possess 90,000 rounds of ammunition, of which General Hasegawa, who has only 2,300 troops in Seoul, has been unable to demand the surrender. The Japanese commander is not yet able to assure public safety in the streets, but he is making the best use possible of his men while awaiting re-enforcements, which are now on their way from Shimonosek. Marquis Ito, the resident general at Seoul, will not consent to the enforcement of martial law, but he is regarisoning the country as far as possible as a precaution. The new emperor's first edict orders the punishment of the Korean deputation to The Hague. Fresh riots were apprehended any moment. Marquis Ito will have an audience with the new emperor today, when an arrangement will be made as to the place Japan will take in the conduction of affairs in Korea. United States Consul Sammons in reply to Marquis Ito's offer of protection to foreign consulates said that he would leave the matter of protecting Americans to the discretion of the marquis, as he was without information regarding danger from mobs. On account of the fact that the American consulate general adjoins the former emperor's private house it is daily thought that the ex-ruler will seek it as an asylum of safety, giving as a cause the presence of Japanese troops for the alleged purpose of preventing his escape or a possible accident. It is said, however, that since November, 1905, the Koreans have not hoped for American aid. Sang on Way to Scaffold PITTSBURG, July 24. — Dowling Green, a negro, was hanged here for the murder of his wife last August, whom he accused of infidelity. Green was resigned and marched cheerfully to the scaffold singing, "In the Cross I Know I'm Anchored." Death resulted almost instantly from a broken neck. Germany Balks at Disarmament. THE HAGUE, July 24.—Baron Marschall von Bleiberstein, one of the German delegates to the peace conference, has received instructions from Berlin to oppose the wording of the British proposition regarding the limitation of armaments. Major Engage Coffee Dess MANILA, July 24. — Major Paymaster Eugene Coffin of the United States army, whose left arm was amputated a few days ago, the result of blood poisoning contracted while handling money, died here. Soldier Killed and Two Others Hurt. NEW LONDON, Conn. July 24—Reports were received here of an accident at Fort Terry, Plum island, N. Y., when Private Hammond of the One Hundredth company, a regular artilleryman, was killed and two members of Company K, Third infantry, C. N. G., of Bridgeport, were injured. It is said that a gun exploded, mangling the victim. HAU FOUND GUILTY. Washington Professor Condemned to Death at Karlsruhe. KARLSRUHE, July 24.—Karl Hau, a brilliant young law professor of Washington, was condemned to death this morning after a five days' trial for the murder of his wife's mother, Frau Molitor, a wealthy resident of Baden-Baden, in that city Nov. 6 last. The prisoner heard the verdict of the jury with perfect composure and chatted smilingly with his counsel after the judges withdrew to fix the sentence. Upon the return of the judges Hau arose and standing erect with folded arms listened to the sentence A. KARL HAU. without moving a muscle. A moment later he was hurried away to prison by half a dozen policemen. Meanwhile enormous crowds had assembled in the streets adjacent to the courthouse. Cordons of police kept the crowds in check for an hour or more, but then lost control of them, the masses pushing and crushing forward to the doors. The crowd stormed the entrance, shouting, "Hau is not guilty." Finally two companies of infantry and a squadron of mounted police appeared on the scene and drove the rioters before them. The infantry, with fixed bayonets, cleared all the streets within 300 yards of the courthouse. A large number of arrests were made. One old woman was trampled down by the horses, and it is reported that several other persons were infured. The demonstration in favor of Hau appears to be due largely to the same maudlin sentiment which has made a hero out of many another accused of a daring crime. The sentencing of Hau does not end the case. Dr. Dletz, his counsel, having in his address practically given notice of an appeal. Jerome Wins Point In Hearst Suit. NEW YORK, July 23.—District Attorney Jerome won an important point in his suit against W. R.

COLONEL AYRES UNFIT. Veteran Cavalry Officer Asks Army Board For Square Deal. NEW YORK, July 24. — Lieutenant Colonel Charles G. Ayres, whose wife was barred from the grounds at West Point academy after the famous order in regard to cadets loaning their overcoats to "wives and sweethearts" was issued, has been pronounced by the surgeons who examined him to be incurably ill of Bright's disease. He intimated before the army retiring board that a conspiracy is under way to drive him from the service. He demanded to know why, since he received a clean bill of health in the Philippines a few months ago, he should be forced through the ordeal again. He asked why he should have been singled out, when there are other officers of his rank in the service whose "vicious habits have rendered them incapable of active duty." He wound up by declaring that he had not and was not receiving a "square denl." His case is now under advisement by the board, which will let its verdict be known through the secretary of war. ONE KILLED. SEVERAL HURT. Score of Passengers Injured In Crash on Lake Erie Rond. GREENVILLE, Pa., July 24—One was killed and many injured when a special passenger train on the Bessemer and Lake Erie railroad collided head on with an engine running light in the north end of the city limits. Through a misunderstanding of orders the trains met on a sharp curve, and both locomotives were completely wrecked. Conductor F. S. Shafstall was caught beneath his engine and died an hour later before he could be released. Engineers Raleigh Fritz and Albert Loveland of Greenville were badly injured, and a score of passengers received minor wounds. The passenger train was a special, having on board members of the Bessemer club of this city. WADSWORTH SURRENDERS Assembly Accepts Senate Apportionment Bill. ALBANY, N.

After shooting and killing Miss Esther Norling on the sidewalk near Fifth avenue and Forty-second street and escaping, revolver in hand, from police and other pursuers, Charles F. Warner went to the wholesale hat warehouse of Wilson & Co., at 26 Waverley place, and fired two shots at John C. Wilson, the wealthy head of the firm, fatally wounding him. Jealousy and hatred were probably contributing causes for both crimes. Warner was angry because Miss Norling drove out with a young man at Ridgefield Park, N. J., and he disliked Wilson because he owed the latter a heavy debt. Standing of the Baseball Clubs. NATIONAL LEAGUE. Chicago 62 65 L P.C.

The march is one of the longest ever undertaken in hot weather, and young Roosevelt will be in the saddle about five weeks. New Pensity For Kidnaping ALBANY, N. Y., July 23.—Governor Hughes signed a large number of bills, many of them of a local character. Among them is the bill of Assemblyman Francis increasing from fifteen to twenty-five years the maximum penalty of imprisonment for kidnapping. WASHINGTON, July 22.—With full military honors Midshipman James F. Crue, one of the victims of the explosion on the battleship Georgia off the Massachusetts coast last Monday, was buried at the Arlington National cemetery here yesterday. THE PLANET SATURDAY.....JULY 27, 1907. CONDENSED DISPATCHES. Notable Events of the Week Briefly Chronicled. James B. Duke, the millionaire tobacco manufacturer of New York, and Mrs. Nanaile Holt Inman were married at the residence of Mrs. William Schuyler Stackpole in Brooklyn. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. David J. Burrell. Mrs. Joan Cuneo of Richmond Hills, N. Y. the only woman who has driven an automobile in the Glidden trophy tour, met with an accident in the run of 141 miles over mountains from Bedford Springs to Baltimore. Near McConnellsville, at the foot of Scrub Ridge, an exploding tire shot her Ranier car across a ditch, through a fence and into a field, and it was only the woman chauffeur's quick wit that averted a disaster. Tuesday, July 23. In an exhibition tennis match at the Wimbledon courts, London, Mrs. R. L. Chambers and G. W. Hillyard defeated Miss May Sutton and Dr. W. V. Eaves. The score was 10-8, 6-4. Jabez Wolfe made a magnificent swim of more than twenty-one miles from Dover, but failed to complete the journey across the English channel after being in the water ten hours. A score of men were precipitated into the river at Lorain, O., and several were drowned as the result of a bridge rail breaking beneath their combined weight. Two bodies have been taken from the water, those of Paul Mazzulerski and Walter Roszkevitz. Another is known positively to be in the river, Carroll Rominski, and many are missing. Miss Helen Madigan of New York, who was burned and mangled in the automobile crash, in which her fiance, Dr. Edward J. Gallagher, was almost instantly killed, died in the Jamaica hospital. She was shockingly burned by the flaming gasoline on legs, arms and back. Her left leg was fractured and her jaw broken when the auto in which she and Dr. Gallagher were riding was smashed by the Sag Harbor express. Monday, July 22. Recommendation for increase of the pay of privates and officers of the army will be made by Secretary Taft to congress next December, and it is likely that President Roosevelt will send a special message on the subject. With Mabelle Gilman, his actress bride, clinging daintily to his arm, William Ellis Corey, president of the steel trust, arrived at New York on the French liner La Savole from his two month honeymoon trip to Europe. He denied that he had resigned or would resign from the steel trust. Saturday, July 20. At Guayaquil the plot to capture or kill General Eloy Alfaro, president of Ecuador, was cleverly conceived, but failed of its purpose because at the last moment one of the conspirators betrayed it to the government, and the authorities had time to change the officers and men on guard in the different barracks. The electrocution of Henry White, convicted of the murder of Marshall Basore in the state prison at Columbus, O., was a horrible flasco. Twice the electric current failed to kill, while the tightly bound man writhed in agony. With the third shock sent through his body a sheet of flame enveloped him, and flames issued from many parts of his body. Friday, July 19. Two thousand five hundred persons, perspiring marchers and massed together spectators, were prostrated by heat during the annual parade of the Elks at Philadelphia, and every hospital was full to overflowing long before a drenching downpour of rain came to break up the parade. Following the granting of a final decree of divorce to Countess de Castellane, formerly Anna Gould of New York, comes a report from Paris of her forthcoming engagement to Prince Elle de Sagan. Prince de Sagan is a brother of the Duke of Valincay, whom Helen Morton divorced. Thursday, July 18. Kald MacLean, who was captured by Raisa near Tangier, has escaped and taken refuge with the Zaoula tribe. Richard Jones, a negro, claiming to be the husband of Sissioretta Jones, the negro soprano known as "Black Patti," was probably fatally shot in the suburbs of Portsmouth, Va., by two unknown negro men, who escaped. Glidden Tourists Leave Baltimore. BALTIMORE, July 24.—The automobileists who are on the annual tour of the American Automobile association for the Glidden and Hower trophies resumed their journey on schedule time. The itinerary provided for a run to Philadelphia over a course 172 miles in length, with a time limit of ten hours and thirty minutes. There are practically no hills, and the road is macadamized all the way. Egotistical M. Ps. The average member of parliament, though not a thing of beauty, is a joy forever. He is so human, so delightfully human. Talk to him in the lobby about anything—the solar system, golf, the new theology, the binomial theorem, unrest in the Balkans, or what you will—and the honorable gentleman within five minutes will have brought the conversation round to himself. He cannot help it—egotism is his native air—M. A. P. Indian Discontent The awakening of Asia, due to a great extent to the efforts of the Brit- Ish themselves, now threatens to cause them serious trouble. Each separate case of disorder in India is in itself not of much consequence, but taken together they bear witness to a deep and widespread discontent which breaks out, now here, now there, in very significant eruptions.—St. Petersburg Novoe Vremya. Hint For Vacationists. It is not generally known, says the Hospital Review, that files and mosquitos dislike the odor of lavender. A teaspoonful of oil of lavender to which is added enough alcohol to make a saturated solution, sprayed around the room and on the bedding will effectively keep away files and mosquitos while the odor of lavender is perceptible. Enormous Increase in Value Horrific increase in Value. The value of the farm lands along the Union Pacific increased by more than $2,500,000,000 in the five years 1900 to 1905. The United States census figures an aggregate value for 17 states in 1905 as $8,241,782,864, while in 1900 it was only $6,692,280,872. This is an advance of nearly 45 per cent. A McCarthy Epigram. Justin Huntly McCarthy can write epigrams when he chooses, as well as descriptions of love and of fighting; as, for example, this bit of succinct wisdom, which he puts into the mouth of Lewis the Eleventh, in Needles and Pins: "Never explain; many a bad explanation spoils a good case." Music Good For Liver. Where the trouble is physical, such as failure of an organ, indigestion, congestion of the liver and so on, strong, firm, martial music will give best results, according to Dr. Latson, editor of Health Culture. For this class of treatment the key of C major is particularly recommended. Dreary Guest Chambers "Who does not remember the guest chamber in some old country house, a place with damp sheets and an atmosphere like that of a vault? Such rooms are hotbeds of neuralgia and pneumonia," writes Dr. William S. O'Birge in Health. Life's Little Embarrassments It is always embarrassing to a girl when she goes into a fashionable shoe store to buy a pair of boots and cannot remember for the moment which stocking it is that has the hole in it.— Somerville Journal. Relica in British Museum A board of nine gold bracelets, found in a pit-dwelling of the seventh or eight century B. C., in a field near Bexley Heath, have just been placed in the Gold room at the British museum. Germany's Lead Pencil Exports Germany's Lead Pencil Exports. Germany exports more than 8,000,000,000 lead pencils every 12 months. They are shipped to foreign countries at the rate of over 10,000,000 a day, counting six days to the week. Gossip. "Some men," said Uncle Ebo, "blames women foh gossiplin' an' den turns around an' listens to all de neighborhood news delr wives kin gitt together." -Washington Star. All in a Name. Thomas Justice, colored, was up for trial and he said to the judge: "Ferde Lawd sake, Mister Jedge, don't gimme what my name call fer!"—Atlanta Constitution. Had Origin In Icebergs The origin of the Great Banks of Newfoundland is said to have been in the boulders carried down by icebergs. The bank is 600 miles long and 120 broad. Gladstone's library is now accessible to all, as the St. Deiniols library at Hawarden, erected at a cost of $300,000. There are $7,000 volumes, largely on theology. That Uneven Floor If you wish to cover your floor with linoleum and the boards are warped, fill the uneven places with sand and your linoleum will not become worn. Poverty Stricken Greece. Greece is said to be the poorest country of Europe. Her total wealth amounts to $1,000,000,000, or about half that of Switzerland. Four Lost in Military Balloon ST. PETERSBURG, July 23.—A new military balloon, bearing four army officers, fell into the Baltic and was lost. The occupants are believed to have perished. The balloon started from the aeronautic park at Czarskoe-Selo and was picked up, half under water, by Admiral Jessen's squadron. Twelve Cadets Walk the Plank. BOSTON, July 23.—Following the report to Governor Guild of the court of inquiry which investigated the mutiny aboard the Massachusetts nautical training ship Enterprise, twelve cadets were dismissed from the school. Their names were withheld. Home, Sweet Home Cottage Seld. EAST HAMPTON, N. Y., July 23.—The famous John Howard Payne cottage, Home, Sweet Home, has been sold, together with a small section of the farm, to G. H. Buek of Brooklyn. Suit Against Harvester Trust. TOPEKA, Kan., July 24.—Attorney General Jackson filed criminal proceedings against the International Harvester company, alleging eight violations of the antitrust law. Dies of Fright After Shooting. CINCINNATI, July 23.—James Wilson, a negro, died of fright, following his arrest for shooting Charles Baniag, a white man. Fear of mob violence caused the fright.

Continued from Second Page. "Come with me now!" I exclaimed, wheeling upon him. "I'd rather be with you than with any other living man, Jack Glenarm, but I can't think of it. I have my own troubles; and, moreover, you've got to stick it out there alone. It's part of the game the old gentleman set up for you, as I understand it. Go ahead, collect your fortune, and then, if haven't been hanged in the meantime, we'll join forces later. There's no chap anywhere with a pleasanter knack at spending money than your old friend L. D." He grinned, and I smiled ruefully, knowing that we must soon part again for Larry was one of the few men I had ever called friend, and this most A "Yes, I Supposed You Weren't Looking at the Woman," He Said, Dryly. ing had only quickened my old affection for him. "I suppose," he continued, "you accept as gospel truth what that fellow tells you about the estate. I should be a little wary if I were you. Now, I've been kicking around here for a couple of weeks, dodging the detectives, and incidentally reading the newspapers. Perhaps you don't understand that this estate of John Marshall Glenarm has been talked about a good bit." "I didn't know it," I said lamely. "You couldn't know, when you were coming from the Mediterranean on a steamer. But the house out there and the mysterious disappearance of the property have been duly discussed. You're evidently an object of some public interest,"—and he drew from his pocket a newspaper cutting. "Here's a sample item." He read: "John Glenarm, the grandson of John Marshall Glenarm, the eccentric millionaire who died suddenly in Vermont last summer, arrived on the Maxinckuekee from Naples yesterday. Under the terms of his grandfather's will, Glenarm is required to reside for a year at a curious house established by John Marshall Glenarm near Lake Annandale, Indiana. "This provision was made, according to friends of the family, to test young Glenarm's staying qualities, as he has, since his graduation from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology five years ago, distributed a considerable fortune left by his father, in contemplating the wonders of the old world. It is reported—" "That will do! Signus and wonders I have certainly beheld, and if I spent my patrimony I submit that I got my money back." I paid my bill and took a hansom for the ferry,—Larry with me, chaffing away droly with his old zest. As the boat drew out into the river a silence fell upon us, the silence that is possible only between old friends. As I looked back at the lights of the city, something beyond the sorrow at parting from a comrade touched me. A sense of foreboding, of coming danger, crept into my heart. But I was going upon the tameest possible excursion; for the first time in my life I was submitting to the direction of another,—albeit one who lay in the grave. How like my grandfather it was to die leaving this compulsion upon me! My mood changed suddenly and as the boat bumped at the pier I laughed. "Bah! these men!" ejaculated Larry. "What men?" I demanded, giving my bags to a porter. "These men who are in love," he said. "I know the signs—mooning, silence, sudden inexplicable laughter! I hope I'll not be in jail when you're married." "You'll be in a long time if they hold you for that. Here's my train." We talked of old times, and of future meetings, during the few minutes that remained. "You can write me at my place of rustication," I said, scribbling "Annandale, Wabana county, Indiana," on a card. "Now if you need me at any time I'll come to you wherever you are. You understand that, old man. Good-by." "Write me, care of my father—he'll have my address, though this last row of mine made him pretty hot." I passed through the gate and down the long train to my sleeper. Turning with my foot on the step, I waved a farewell to Larry, who stood outside watching me. In a moment the heavy train was moving slowly out into the night upon its westward journey. TO BE CONTINUED. BEST IN LINGERIE ONE GIRL HAS SOLVED HOT WEATHER PROBLEM. At Comparatively Small Outlay She Secures Dainty and Washable Garments that Will Last All Summer. Lingerie particularly suited for hot weather wear is always a grave problem with the thrifty yet dalinity woman. To secure results that will be summerlike and dainty and yet with stand the many washings of dog days is by no means easy. Longcloth and fine cambric, which are staples for cool weather lingerie, become too heavy for hot days and yet the more transparent materials must be chosen with great care or they will turn sleazy and bedraggled with the first washing. One young woman, noted for her dainty underwear uses cross-barred dimity for dog day lingerie, and though it cost only from 19 to 24 cents a yard, she declares it will outwear and outaunder the finer lawns varying in price from 25 to 40 cents a yard. She has just finished a dainty set worth describing. A fine cross-bar dimity is employed for all the pieces. The long skirt is fitted carefully to her figure over the hips, but from a point just below the knee is set off by a very full ruffle. The dust ruffle is of dimity edged with German val. lace, which is bought by the bolt at 35 cents a bolt of 12 yards. This lace she bought wholesale, in two widths of edging and two of insertion. She also bought a large remnant of Swiss allover. The ruffle of the skirt is composed of alternate strips of the allover and tucked dimity, running up and down, and the bottom of the ruffle is finished with the deeper lace edging, about three inches wide. The ruffle is attached to the skirt with a beading not more than an eighth of an inch in width. The wide beading is not used for skirts to be worn under thin lingerie dresses. The corsest cover is cut in one piece on the bias and fits the figure perfectly, ending right at the waist line in a plain bias band. The front is inset with medallions of embroidery cut from the allover Swiss and outlined by little floures of the narrowest edging. The top of the cover is finished with insertion, a fine beading and the narrower sleeve, while shield sleeves made from two strips of insertion and the wider edging finish off the arm holes. The drawers have a shaped ruffle, spilt up Dainty Chemise. on the outer edge, the insertion and edging being applied to the curved edge and at the top of the opening is a rosette of white wash ribbon with long loops and ends. The night dress is cut low with a round neck. The front and kimono sleeves are inset with medallions cut from the allover embroidery. These medallions are quite large in the middle of the front gore and decrease in size until over the shoulders they are quite small, and each is outlined with flat bounces of the lace. The top of the night gown is finished with insertion, beading and edging, drawn up in the front with white wash ribbon. The allover embroidery furnishes so many pretty medallions that the young woman has a very pretty set at a cost of less than $5. Heavier and Thicker Veils Misery has ever been partial to company, and the woman who muffles her head in veils this summer may find consolation in the fact there are plenty of others as uncomfortable as she. In spite of the prediction weeks ago that veils were "going out," they are growing heavier and thicker as the season goes on. They bear many designs, too, which should delight the hearts of oculists. It doesn't matter that the veil is called a gorm trap, and that a beauty doctor says these germs cause skin troubles. When was health permitted to interfere with fashion? It has been ordained that the puffed collar adored by the first empire beauties, and which supercedes the Marcel wave, must be swathed in yards of veiling. The Delicate Nasturtium. The French long ago discovered that the brilliant nasturtium was as grateful to the palate as it was to the eye—the made nasturtium sandwiches. Only a few American cooks utilizes the fragrant leaves as an edible; more's the pity, for they are the very acorn of daintiness; they must be made from the small, tender leaves covered with mayonnaise dressing. They must be served soon after preparing as the leaves soon loose their spicy freshness. Just before sending to the table lay a few blossoms on each plate. These sandwiches are especially nice served with meat and game. The Natural Place "Where did Miss Millyuns meet that English peer?" "I think it was at a bridge club."—Baltimore American.

Effective Decoration in Lattice Work of Ribbon. As a rule the frame of a screen retains its strength long after the material with which it has been covered has become diilapidated and unsightly. A capital way of decorating an old screen and making it once more an object of interest is illustrated by our little sketch. A latticework of prettily-colored narrow ribbons can be fastened to the screen on both sides and tacked down to the points where they cross. Behind the ribbons, photographs, picture post cards, invi- ```markdown ``` tation cards, etc., are easily slipped and held in their places, until the whole screen is covered, and as they can be changed with very little trouble, a screen so decorated can always be made a new object of interest. For a full size screen the ribbon or galloon, whichever is used, should be not less than half-an-inch in width, and it might with advantage be wider. For small fireplace screens a third of an inch would be an ample width. Gold braid would have a very good effect but is rather expensive, so that strips of gold paper of firm quality, if evenly cut, would be a very good substitute. Woman's Luncheon Women have still a great deal to learn in the matter of economy in food. They crowd the tearooms and "quick lunch" restaurants, and spend in the aggregate an enormous amount of money, in the majority of cases for food that neither nourishes nor satisfies them. They have not yet discovered that lettuce is twice as cooling as ice cream, and that mince pie is not a dish for early summer. The steak, fried potatoes, and coffee of the average man would disagree with most persons if partaken of to any great extent. A thin soup is usually twice as palatable as a thick one, and is nearly and in some cases quite as nourishing. This, with a sandwich or some cold meat, lettuce or water cress, and, perhaps, a simple sweet—not pastry—makes a satisfactory midday meal. Where there is the principal meal of the day, more may be partaken of, but, especially in summer, all rich and heavy "made dishes" should be avoided, and plenty of fresh vegetables should be partaken of. For the Hair. The prettiest of the new colfurce ornaments are undoubtedly the mock peacock's feathers, dyed in pearl-gray and white and biscuit color and white, the eye of the feather being composed of tiny massed sequins shading from deep peacock blue to pale turquoise or from purple to iliac. Frequently these feathers are actually designed to match the gown which they are to accompany, being varied to suit the taste of the wearer, while a tiny rosette with a jeweled center holds them in place among the soft curls of the colfurce. Bunches of dyed clipped vultures' feathers are used in a great extent as colfurce ornaments, the somewhat uncompromising stiffness of these being softened by means of the lovely shades in which they are designed, a little circular decoration in the form of a coiled snake giving the finishing touch. To Retain Youth. Sleep is a great preserver of youth. Eight hours at night and a short nap during the day will do much to keep the face free from wrinkles. Always sleep with the bedroom window open a few inches at the top, both in summer and winter. A daily morning bath, tepid in winter and cold in summer, with a brisk rub to follow, will keep the skin fresh and clear. Two hours must be passed in the open air, walking, riding or playing games. All tight clothing, and especially tight lacing, must be avoided, as compression disturbs the circulation and is often the cause of enlarged veins and red noses. A. Word About Veils. All hats sit back on the head, which makes a new fashion of wearing the veil necessary, and, naturally, with hats that do not shade the face, the veil is most important. The veil should match the hat brim in tint and not descend below the chin. It is held only by the hat brim, and falls straight, but not loose, over the f... It forms really a most becoming face covering. There are practically no loose, draped veils. Some well dressed women retain this fashion, but it is no longer chic, or, to quote again the French expression, "in the movement." Coats Lined with Dark Silk A daring idea on the part of an English tailor in Paris is to line coats either with black silk or some color like green or purple. Mme. Rejane has been wearing a coat of pale green cloth lined with green satin so dark as to appear almost black. The garment is on rather straight lines, with dolman sleeves, and it is bordered all about with a band of silver embroidery. ```markdown ``` Neckromancy.

The HOUSE of a THOUSAND CANDLES ```markdown ``` The HOU THOUSAND BY MEREDITH NICHOLSON THE OPENING CHAPTERS APPEAR IN THIS ISSUE By MRS. LESLIE CARTER: "Rarely have I found a story more absorbing than Meredith Nicholson's 'The House of a Thousand Candles.' The book should make an excellent play." By E. H. SOTHERN: "The plot of Mr. Nicholson's new book is original and strong in dramatic conception, developed with ever growing interest to a sriking clilmax, and the book is. I think, rich material for a stirring play." New Veilings. One of the attractive new vellings is punctured chiffon, which comes in all the fashionable shades. Hair lines are in favor, but should be worn only by women who have clear complexions. Medium sized chenille dots and large velvet dots far apart are fashionable. The new champagne colored vell with brown dots is the smartest thing of the season, and it harmonizes so well with the popular brown and yellow shades which are used so much for suits. Chantilly lace vells lead in popularity for sailor hats. The new square chiffon vells with striped borders are in vogue for the automobile. They are more attractive than the oblong vell, for they are less bunglesome and cooler. Squares ranging in size from 18 inches to a yard and in any color desired are shown in one shop. For the Traveler Never travel without a jar of good cold cream, for removing dust and grime. Here is a formula for a cream that contains no lanolin to encourage the growth of hair on the face, and is therefore pure and wholesome; Rose water, 14 ounces; almond oil, four ounces; spermaceti, one ounce; white wax, one ounce. J. M. COLSON, Supt. Dinnwildie, Va By JULIA MARLOWE: "The nuances of each episode in "The House of a Thousand Candles," Meredith Nicholson's dramatic sense grasps instantly and portrays with perfect artistic simplicity. "More than any other attribute this is what will make a strong play of the book." By DAVID WARFIELD: The vivid dramatic quality of 'The House of a Thousand Candles, combined with its romantic adventure, one of the most interesting I have read.'

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 25 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 enks of soap for $3.00.

"Why, because he was away ahead of the game, and we thought that if he remalned we might tap him for a good-sized part of his pile." "But why were you sore when Loozen quit?"

"When a trust is found guilty of violating the law there is always a maximum and a minimum fine that may be imposed, isn't there?" "Yes.
