THE RICHMOND PLANET EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS Trip on a Railroad--Through Washington American Bankers at Atlantic City. SOME OF THE INCONVENIENCES OF BEING COLORED—THE SCENE ON THE BOARD-WALK—IN THE MARLBOROUGH-BLENHEIM HOTEL. VOLUME XXIV, NUMBER 43 EDITOR MITT Trip on a Railroad American B SOME OF THE INCONVENIENT BOARD-WALK—IN We left Richmond Sunday, Sept. 22 at 8:40 A. M. via the reliable and popular R. F. and P. R. R. taking advantage of the extra comforts of a parlor car. Mrs. Martha Scruggs was enroute to Milford and waved an adlen as the train left that station. Reaching Frederickssburg, two coaches were added to accommodate the large crowd of colored folks attired in their "Sunday best," en route to the "big meeting" a few miles out from Quantico. JUDGE TERRELL VISITED. All along the road others got a board to join the throng. Reaching Washington, at about 12:45 P.M. we found that the train maxing connection for Atlantic City, N. J. would not leave until 4 P. M. We called on Judge R. H. Terrell and his accomplished Madame and before we realized the flight of time found that it was impossible to complete the circuit and visit other friends that we desired to see. ON TO PHILADELPHIA In the midst of a heavy down-pour of rain we returned to the station, where we met Headwatter Elmore L. Benson, and enjoyed a hearty dinner at that fine hostelry. He was much interested in our mission. We left for Philadelphia as scheduled on the fast. Philadelphia express. We were the lone representative of our race in that car and on reaching Philadelphia, found ourselves enjoying the same unique distinction on the Atlantic City express. FRIENDS MET US. There are red-capped uniformed parcel carriers at all of the stations of the Pennsylvania railroad. We reached Atlantic City at about 8:45 P. M. and we were met by Gen. A. J. Davidson, Mr. Robert A. Jackson, (formerly of Richmond) and others. The rain was falling in sheets and it was like driving in the surf as we left the station, so deep was the water. IN THE LAND OF DREAMS We were soon at Hotel Ridley, a large and well furnished hostelry. It has every accommodation for either transient or permanent guests and it is only about four blocks from the board walk. We soon had supper and a few moments afterwards we were in "the land of dreams." We slept as we know how to sleep and despite all of the modern comforts of travel, we needed rest. THAT PALATIAL HOTEL In the morning, the rain had ceas ed and there were indications of coming sunshine. We ate breakfast and then went to the fashionable, modern, aristocratic combined hotels known as the Marlborough—Blen-helm. These hotels are among the finest in the country. There are arcades or covered streets, so to speak leading to the hotel proper and along these are stores of well-nigh every description. A LOVELY SCENE Palms, ferns and potted plants are on every side. Money flows in never ending streams and to live here even for a week is to be classed among the wealthy magnates of this mighty land. We enquired about the headquarters of the American Bankers Association. A white gentleman, who seemed to have charge replied in a bewildered sort of a way that they hadn't gotten straight yet. He did not know exactly when the Association would meet. TOO EARLY FOR BUSINESS Finding we were too early, we went out on the board walk. This is a remarkable place. For miles a raised board-walk has been laid parallel to the beach of the Atlantic free Ocean. On it are stores of every kind. Souvenirs are to be had in clath profusion and the exhaustless supply of post-cards is a feature. THE SCENE ON THE SEA SHORE Your photograph is taken and from 6 to 8 of them given to you to mail home to your friends for the sum of fifty cents. The ceaseless, never silent waves beat upon the beach and men and women, boys and girls go out into the water in a condition that would cause a blush of shame in a parlor, but it is all right here. ALL KINDS OF WOMEN Lean women and fat women, big women and little women, old women and young women may be seen at this resort while men of every description furnish boon companions. Here, too, may be seen the United States Life Saving Crew in action. They wear red caps and red sweaters and bathing suits. Their legs have become brown by exposure and they may readily be taken to be citizens of color. NOT THERE FOR COLORED FOLKS. None of these scions of Uncle Sam have been assigned to that part of the beach where colored people are permitted to bathe. If they are, we did not see any evidence of it. The pliers on which entertainments are given may be seen at regular intervals. We were so impressed with the beauty of the scene that we decided to bathe too,—in the bath-tub at the hotel. DOWN TO BUSINESS It was much safer and we appreciated the warmth that the hot water spout sent up from the depth below. But we are getting ahead of our story. Returning to the Marlborough-Blenheim Hotel, we found that a transformation had taken place. Col. James R. Branch, Secretary of the American Bankers' Association and his corp of assistants had gotten down to business. THE FIRST REQUIREMENTS We soon had our card made out and were in possession a few moments later of the button of the American Bankers' Association which is the "open sesame" to every place here for one week at least. The organization by the Atlantic City Local Community maintained the following unique instructions: AN UNIQUE INVITATION Tuesday, Sept. 24, 07 The Citizens and Business Men of Atlantic City deliver on request, to the American Bankers' Association the enclosed good things, without defaecation, and charge to the account of Atlantic City Local Committee for the entertainment of the members of the American Bankers' Association." SOME OF THE GOOD THINGS. These "good things" consisted as follows: one double deep sea going rolling chair, the parade to start at 2:30 P. M. Sept. 24th; Reception at Marlborough-Blenheim Hotel, 9 to 12 P. M. Sept. 27th and Grand Ball on same evening; an afternoon at Inlet, clam-bake 1 to 2:30 P. M.; Baseball, 3:30, and Seagoing yacht trip from 1 to 5 P. M. Sept. 26th; "Go as he pleases" freedom, Sept. 26th to Steel Pier. Young's Ocean Pier and Million Dollar Pier; Special Concert followed by a high class cake-walk on the Atlantic City Steel Pier. OTHER COURTESIES In addition to these, the courses of the Atlantic City Country Club the Northfield and Atlantic City Yacht Club at the Inlet were extended, while the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph Companies and the Telephone Companies extended free use of their lines to any member of the American Bankers' Association, permitting them to telegraph RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURD, SEPTEMBER 28, 1907. or speak to any part of the United States. A SURPRISED SERVANT We made inquiries of the colored attendant. They all wore white jackets. He looked up with surprise. "Are you stopping here? Are you a guest in this hotel?" "I am a guest here. I am a member of the American Bankers' Association. The old look died out. Amazement followed. He apologized again and gave the information desired. We returned to the Savings Bank Section, we were cordially greeted by Mr. William Hanhart, the able secretary of that department, who expressed his delight at seeing us. ROYALLY GREETED He introduced us to several of his white friends. Another colored attendant "egged" his way up to us to find out where we were from. He seemed to know where we were going. .ie was glad, he said, to see that he being accorded proper treatment. He and we sat down to read about the "Joe account" meth od of deposit, the new auditing system proposed for savings banks and the recommendations of committees upon that subject. "A FACE AT THE WINDOW." We looked up suddenly, and there looking through the heavy curtains was the face of a white chambermaid or attendant, her dark eyes flashing with amazement and wonder as she gazed upon a colored man lined up with the moneyed white men of the United States. It seemed that this was a revelation to her. We noticed the hotel clerk with the same troubled, puzzled look upon his countenance. But none of them spoke to us and no one denied to us any of the rights and privileges of any other member and we were content. COLORED PEOPLE PROGRESSIVE We later visited Fitzgerald's Auditorium, where we met Mr. B. G. Fitzgerald and his brother. They are doing a prosperous business here We met also Mr. C. C. Johnson of Hotel Brighton. We visited the office of the Seaside Press. This concern was prospering. We visited the office of The Pioneer Press of which Messrs. Jackson and Tucker are proprietors. They have a new half medium Chandler and Price Gordon press, new cases and much new type. The specimens of work shown us were highly creditable to the concern. THE JAPANESE AFTER US Returning to the board-walk, a high wind had set in and we were attracted to a sale of Japanese novelties. Our bid was accepted and with it went our card. We paid for it and went on. As we were returning a white gentleman told us that the Japanese was looking for us after we left to give us a receipt for the goods sold. We returned and got it. MADE OTHER PURCHASES They had found out that we were a banker and it was amusing to note the efforts of even the white auctioneer who was assisting the Japanese, to get us to buy more. He wanted us to walk about the place and inspect such things that we might wish. He separated us from about $15 worth of good American money and promised to ship the goods to Richmond and so we decided that the ocean breezes would be better for us than American-Japanese smiles and went on our own way rejoicing. The end of the season was the opportunity to close out a heavy stock of rare designs. DR. VASS HERE TOO On reaching our hotel we were met by Rev. Dr. S. N. Vass and a most interesting chat followed. The heavy wind-storm of the evening is over and in the solitude of our room we are pennning these lines to the readers of The PLANET. THE AMERICAN BAND IS ASSOCIATION MEM Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 24, '07. The Savings Bank Section of the American Bankers' Association met to-day at 10 A. M. at the palatial Marborough-Blenheim Hotel. President G. Byron Lattimore of New York presided and Mr. William Eanhart, the well known and popular secretary had charge of the minutes. Papers were read on Joint Accounts and Trust Accounts, Auditing of the Accounts of Savings Banks, Savings Bank Insurance and Postal Savings Banks. MR. MITCHELL SPEAKS John Mitchell, Jr., the lone colored representative spoke on joint accounts. He gave it as his opinion that it was utterly impossible to relieve a savings bank from responsibility provided it paid the money to a surviving person in a two name account. He analyzed the law and stated facts that held the attention of all the members. The vote resulted in no further action being taken in the matter. DID NOT FAVOR THEM The Section did not regard with favor the establishment of Postal Savings Banks. The body adjourned for luncheon at 1 o'clock and it was served by white waiters on the spacious pavilion over-locking the sea, Champagne, coffee, apollinaris water and cigarettes were served. At 2:30 the discussion of topics took place and Mr. Mitchell spoke again. OFFICERS ELECTED The officers for the next year were unanimously elected. Steps were taken to have the Trust Sections and the Savings Bank Sections meet on separate days. The matter was referred to the Executive Committee. The rolling chair parade on the walk took place to-day at 2:30 P. M. The American Bankers' Association proper will convene tomorrow morning at 10 A. M. on the Million Dollar Pier.

Fierce Clash Among Convention Delegates Over Brownsville Affairs Ends in Compromise by Which Executive Escapes Criticism—Closes Harmoniously With Race Problem Discussion. Whether a denunciation of President Roosevelt and his attitude on the Brownsville affair should be embodied in the resolutions commending Senator Foraker for the stand he took when the Senatorial inquiry was in progress was the storm center around which the leaders of the National Negro Baptist Convention surged in wordy battle at yesterday's session, and despite the efforts of some of the leaders to eliminate all discussions political, the anti-Roosevelt faction and those delegates who wished Senator Foraker commended without reference to the President's attitude clashed again and again, until Dr. E. C. Morrison, president of the convention, threatened to leave the hall and resign his office. The result was a compromise, and a resolution commending Senator Foraker and not mentioning the President was adopted. CLASH ON LAST DAY EXPECTED Since the first session of the convention the Brownsville affair has been discussed by the assembled delegates, and time and again speakers have made reference to it, in some cases roundly denouncing the President. It has been the feeling throughout the convention that when the committee on the state of the Union reported at the last day the two factions, of which the anti-Roosevelt party was in the majority would clash. For the last three evenings, it is understood, President Morris has met in conference the members of the Committee on the state of the Union. At these evening gatherings the conservatism of the president of the convention met with strenuous disapproval at the hands of the committee. Realizing that the matter of passing public censure upon Roosevelt would be considered against his wish, President Morris prepared a resolution in milder form than that submitted by the committee. This met pronounced opposition and a test vote to determine the sentiment of the convention brought to light the fact that 108 delegates opposed the motion to eliminate censure of the President and 92 agreed to do so. COMPROMISE MOTION CARRIED The aversion of the delegates to disrupting the convention, it is said, was the only reason why the compromise motion was carried. The vote was 200 to 28. The motion as adopted reads as follows: "In common with all good citizens we deplore what has come to be known as the Brownsville affair, and we trust that time may yet reveal the real perpetrators of the crime. The entire country is under a debt of gratitude to the Hon. J. B. Foraker and owners, who secured for the soldiers a right to be heard in their own defense." "The mission of Booker T. Washington to this city," said one of the prominent delegates last night, "was to accomplish nothing less than the elimination of criticism of President Roosevelt and had the convention realized this. I do not think he would have been invited. Had this Brownsville matter been brought to vote the first day, there would have been very few men to vote against it." ADVISES CAREFUL ACTION "Let the Negro race be careful," cautioned President Morris in speaking for his resolution. "Let us be conservative and not radical, for nothing is to be gained by firebrand speeches. Let the Negro go into politics if he likes, but conventions such as this should be kept free from politics. There are people among us who have scored this assembly because political questions have not entered into our considerations to any extent. This attitude is wrong, for politics and political discussion can never help us to gain the end we desire." "The Negro race is at a low point in the scale of life," asserted Dr. James E. Shepard, at the mourning session of the closing day of the convention yesterday. "But despite this," he continued, "the wishes to rise higher. The race must depend entirely upon its own efforts, for it need not look for sincerce help from any other source. To no other race can it or must it appeal. The politicians will render it no aid. The Anglo-Saxons, intent upon this same problem, face it only as the question enters into their own calculations, and the Negro must work out his own salvation. M. A. E PROGRESS BY COPYING. "The copying of the habits and the customs by the Negro of peoples who have attained much in the scale of civilization is alone and entirely responsible for whatever progress the Negro race has made since its members were brought from Africa." Before the talk given by Dr. Shep ard, who is the field superintendent of work among the Negroes for the International Sunday School Association, J. Anderson Taylor, D. D. called the meeting to order and said: "No man can go through the world without friends, and this is equally applicable to a race of men. The Negro race must have friends, and we must look to this aspect of the question of attaining civilization which confronts us. It is our duty and if we fall in our duty, we must suffer." Much of the morning was spent in the transaction of routine business. Robert Mitchell, of Bowling Green, Ky., auditor of the convention, made his report and was re-elected to that position for another year. TREND TOWARD RACE ASSER TION. A trend toward distinct race assis- sion in all walks of life is evinced by a careful study of the Negro, said Mrs. E. E. Whitfield of Beaumont, Tex., in addressing the beaumont, Tex., in addressing the meeting of the Woman's Auxiliary. "The old-time idea of race unity must be the dominant impetus of the race in the future, for the most potential question before the race, or before the world to-day is the Negro question." The final meeting of the convention was held last night at the Metropolitan Church, near Thirteenth and R Streets northwest. The sermon was delivered by G. L. Taliafero, of Pennsylvania, after which the convention was adjourned. 20th Anniversary of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church and Pastor... The Pastor and Congregation of the Mt.

PETERSBURG, Sept. 21—Before a crowd packed in the Mayor's court room to-day, with Commonwealth's Attorney R. H. Mann representing the state and Senator Charles T. Lasiter and Paul Petit representing the defendants, the trial of Alice Trice and Mamie Watkins, colored, for perjury, was called. Alice Trice is the sister-in-law of the Rev. Ell Tartt, pastor of the Harrison Street Baptist Church, and Mamie Watkins is a member of his house hold. On September 7th, when Tartt was tried and convicted, fined and sentenced to jail for assaulting J. H. Mason, the clerk of his church with a loaded pistol, these women in the effort to prove an alibi, swore that Tartt was sick and did not go out of his house on the day of the alleged assault. Many credible witnesses swore that they saw him out on the street on that day, and one swore to having seen him come out of Mason's office about the time of the assault. It was then charged that the women had sworn falsely. The defendants urged a continuance of the case until after the trial of Tartt in the Hustings Court, on October 1, for the assault on the ground that a trial at present would prejudice that case. The Commonwealth opposed continuance and the mayor denied the motion. At the close of the hearing the women were adjudged guilty and were fined $25 and sentenced to serve a week in prison an appeal and were released in $200.

John Marshall Glenarm had probably never been so happy in his life as on that day of his amazing home-coming. He laughed at us and he laughed with us, and as he went about the house explaining his plans for its completion, he chaffed us all with his shrewd "I Wish to God I Had Never Saen You." "I Wish to God I Had Never Saen You." humor that had been the terror of my boyhood. "Ah, if you had had the plans of course you would have been saved a lot of trouble; but that little sketch of the Door of Bewilderment was the only thing I left—and you found it, Jack—you really opened these good books of mine." He sent us all away to remove the marks of battle, and we gave Bates a hand in cleaning up the wreckage.—Bates, the keeper of secrets, Bates, the inscrutable and mysterious, Bates, the real hero of the affair at Glenarm. My grandfather led us through the narrow stairway by which he had entered, which had been built between false walls, and we played ghost for one another, to show just how the tread of a human being around the chimney sounded. There was much to explain, and my grandfather's contribution for having placed me in so hazardous a predicament was so sincere, and his wish to make amends so evident, that my heart warmed to him. He made me describe in detail all the incidents of my stay at the house, listening with boyish delight to my adventures. "Bless my soul!" he exclaimed over and over again. And as I brought my two friends into the story his pleasure knew no bounds, and he kept chuckling to himself, half a dozen times shaking hands with Larry and Stoddard, who were, he declared, his friends as well as mine. The prisoner in the potato collar received our duo attention; and my grandfather's joy in the fact that an agent of the British government was held captive in Glenarm House was cheering to see. But the man's detention was a grave matter, as we all realized, and made imperative the immediate consideration of Larry's future. "I must go—and go at once!" declared Larry. "Mr. Donovan, I should feel honored to have you remain," said my grandfather. "I hope to hold Jack here, and I wish you would share the house with us." "The sheriff and those fellows won't squeal very hard about their performances here," said Stoddard. "And they won't try to rescue the prisoner, even for a reward, from a house where the dead come back to life." "No; but you can't hold a British prisoner in an American private house forever. Too many people know he has been in this part of the country; and you may be sure that the fight here and the return of Mr. Glenarm will not fall of large advertisement. All I can ask of you, Mr. Glenarm, is that you detain the fellow a few hours after I leave, to give me a start." After a late luncheon, for which the amazing Bates produced champagne—the others left us—Stoddard to help Larry get his things together—and my grandfather and I talked for an hour. "You will stay on here,—you will help me to finish the house" the old gentleman asked with unmistakable eagerness of look and tone. It seemed harsh and ungenerous to tell him that I wished to go; that the great world lay beyond the confines of Glenarm for me to conquer; that I had leas as well as gained by those few months at Glenarm House, and wished to go away. It was not the mystery, now fathomed—nor the struggle, now ended—that was uppermost in my mind and heart, but memories of a girl who had mocked me with delicious grishl laughter, who had lured me away from the Indiana woodlands that I might see her transformed into another, more charming, being, only to shatter my faith at the end. It was a comfort to know that Flickering, trapped and defeated, was not to benefit by the bold trick she had helped him play upon me. His loss was hers as well and I was glad in his bitterness that I had found her in the passage seeking for plunder at the hest of the same master whom Morgan, Ferguson and the rest of them served. I did not mention her to my grandfather; I resolved never to think or speak of her again. The fight was over and there was nothing more for me to do in the house by the lake. After a week or so I should go forth and try to win a place for myself. I had my profession; I was an engineer, and I did not question that I should be able to find employment. As for my grandfather. AUTHOR OF "THE MAIN CONSOLE" TEDDY DEMONSON COPYRIGHT 1995 BY BARRY MARSHALL CO. Bates would care for him, and I should visit him often. I was resolved not to give him any further care for anx- lety on account of my adventurous and roving ways. He knew well enough that his old hope of making an architect of me was lost forever; and now I wished to depart in peace and seek some part of the world where the trails were new and there were tracks to lay and bridges to build. These thoughts so filled my mind that I forgot that my grandfather was patiently waiting for an answer. "I should like to do anything you ask; I should like to stay here always, but I can. Don't misunderstand me. I have no intention of going back to my old ways. I squandered enough money in my wanderings, and I had my joy of that kind of thing. I shall find employment somewhere and go to work." "But, Jack,"—he bent toward me kindly,—"Jack, you mustn't be led away by any mere Quixotism into laying the foundation of your own fortune. What I have is yours, boy. What is in the box in the chimney is yours now—to-day." "I wish you wouldn't! You were always too kind, and I deserve nothing, absolutely nothing." "I'm not trying to pay you, Jack. I want to ease my own conscience, that's all." "But money can do nothing for mine," I replied, trying to smile. "I've been a reckless spendthrift all my days, and now I'm going to work. If you were infirm and needed me, I should not hesitate, but the world will have its eyes on me now." "Jack, that will of mine did you a great wrong; it put a mark upon you, and that's what hurts me; that's what I want to make amends for! Don't you see? Now don't punish me, boy. Come! Let us be friends!" He rose and put out his hands. "I didn't mean that! I don't care about that! It was nothing more than I deserved. These months here have changed me. Haven't you heard me say I was going to work?" And I tried to laugh away further discussion of my future. "It will be more cheerful here in the spring," he said, as though seeking an inducement for me to remain. "When the resort colony down here comes to life the lake is really gay." I shook my head. The lake, that pretty cupful of water, the dip and glide of a maroon canoe, the remembrance of a red tam-o-shanter merging afar off in an October sunset!—my purpose to leave the place strengthened as I thought of these things. My nerves were keyed to a breaking pitch and, losing control of myself, I turned upon him stormily. "So Miss Devereux was the other person who shared your confidence! Do you understand,—do you appreciate the fact that she was Pickerling's ally?" "I certainly do not," he replied coldly. "I'm surprised to hear you speak so of a woman whom you can scarcely know—" "Yes, I know her! My God, I have reason to know her! But even when I found her out I did not dream that the plot was as deep as it is. She knew that it was a scheme to test me, and she played me into Pickering's hands. I caught her down there in the tunnel acting as his spry, locking for the lost notes, that she might gain grace in his eyes by turning them over to him. You know how I always hated Pickering—he was too smooth, too smug, and you and everybody else were forever praising him to me. He was always held up to me as a model; and the first time I saw Marlan Deveroux she was with him—it was at Sherry's the night before I came here. I suppose she reached St. Agatha's only a few hours ahead of me." "Yes, Sister Theresa was her guardian. Her father was a dear friend, and I knew her from her early childhood. You are mistaken, Jack. Her knowing Pickering means nothing,—they both lived in New York and moved in the same circle." "But it doesn't explain her efforts to help him, does it?" I blazed. "He wished to marry her. Sister Theresa told me that, and I failed—I failed miserably to keep my obligation here—I ran away to follow her!" "Ah, to be sure! You were away Christmas eve, when those vandals broke in. Bates merely mentioned it in the last report I got from him in New York. That was all right. I assumed, of course, that you had gone off somewhere to get a little Christmas cheer; I don't care anything about it." "But I had followed her—I went to Cincinnati to see her—don't you understand? She dared me to come—it was a trick, a part of the conspiracy to steal your property." The old gentleman smiled. It was an old trick of his to grow calm as other people waxed angry. "She dared you to come, did she! That is quite like Marian; but you didn't have to go, did you, Jack?" "Of course not; of course I didn't have to go, but—" I stammered, faltered and ceased. Memory throw open her portals with a challenge. I saw Marian on the stairway at the Armstrongs'; I heard her low, soft laughter; I felt the mockery of her voice and eyes; I knew again the exquisite delight of being near her. My heart told me well enough why I had followed her! "Jack, I'm glad I'm not buried up there in that Vermont graveyard with nobody to exercise the right of guardianship over you. I've had my misgivings about you; I used to think you were a born tramp; and you disappointed me in turning your back on architecture,—the noblest of all professions; but this performance of THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA yours really beats them all. Don't you know that a girl like Marian Devereux isn't likely to become the agent of any rascal? Do you really believe for a minute that she tempted you to follow her so you might forfeit your rights to my property? "But why was she trying to find those notes of his? Why did she come back from Cincinnati with his party? If you could answer me those things, maybe I'd admit that I'm a fool. Pickering, I imagine, is a pretty plausible fellow where women are concerned." "For God's sake, Jack, don't speak of that girl as women! I put her in that will of mine just to plque your curiosity, knowing that if there was a penalty on your marrying her you would be wholly likely to do it—for that's the way human beings are made. But you've mixed it all up now and insulted her in the grossest way possible for a fellow who is really a gentleman. And I don't want to lose you; I want you here with me! These rich Americans, who go to England to live, don't appreciate the beauty of their own country. This landscape is worthy of the best that man can do. And I didn't undertake to build a crazy house out here but one that should have some dignity and character. That passage around the chimney is an indulgence, Jack—I'll admit it's a little biaarre,—you see that chimney isn't so big outside as it is in!"—and he laughed and rubbed his knees, "and my bringing foreign laborers here was really to make it easier to get things done my way. Wait till you have seen the May-apples blossom and heard the robin sing in the summer twilight—help me to finish the house—then if you want to leave I'll bid you Godspeed." The feeling in his tone, the display of sentiment so at variance with my old notion of him, touched me in spite of myself. There was a characteristic nobility and dignity in his plan; it was worthy of him. And I had never loved him as now, when he finished this appeal, and turned away to the window, gazing out upon the somber woodland. "Mr. Donovan is ready to go, sir," announced Bates at the door, and we went into the library, where Larry and Stoddard were waiting. CHAPTER XXVI Shorter Vistas. Larry had assembled his effects in the library, and to my surprise, Stoddard appeared with his own hand bag. "I'm going to see Donovan well on his way," said the clergyman. "It's a pity our party must break up," exclaimed my grandfather. "My obligations to Mr. Donovan are very great—and to you, too, Stoddard. Jack's friends are mine hereafter, and when we get new doors for Glenarm House you shall honor me by accepting duplicate keys." "Where's Bates?" asked Larry, and the man came in, respectfully, imparturbly as always, and began gathering up the bags. "Stop—one moment! My, Glenarm," said Larry. "Before I go I want to congratulate you on the splendid courage of this man who has served you and your house with so much faithfulness and tact. And I want to tell you something else, that you probably would never learn from him—" They Clasped Hands. in Bates' voice, and he sprang forward with his hands outstretched entreatingly. But Larry did not heed him. "The moment I set eyes on this man I recognized him. It's not fair to you or to him that you should not know him for what he is. Let me introduce an old friend, Walter Crelghton; he was a student at Dublin when I was there, a poor boy with nobody to help him; but I remember him as one of the best fellows in the world." "For God's sake—no!" pleaded Bates. He was deeply moved and turned his face away from us. "But, like me," Larry went on, "has mixed in politics. One night in a riot at Dublin a constable was killed. No one knew who was guilty, but a youngster was suspected,—the son of one of the richest and best-known men in Ireland, who happened to get mixed in the row. To draw attention from the boy, Creighton let suspicion attach to his own name, and, to help the boy's case further, ran away. I had not heard from or of him until the night I came here and found him the defender of this house. By God; that was no servant's trick,—it was the act of a royal gentleman." They clasped hands, and with a new light in his face, with a new manner, as though he resumed, as a familiar garment, an old disused personality. Bates stood transfigured in the twilight, a man and a gentleman. I think we were all drawn to him; I know that a sob clutched my throat and tears filled my eyes as I grasped his hand. "But what in the devil did you do it for?" blurted my grandfather, excitedly twirling his glasses. Bates (I still call him Bates,—he insists on it) laughed. For the first time he thrust his hands into his pockets and stood at his ease, one of us. "Larry, you may remember that I showed a fondness for the stage in our university days. When I got to America I had little money and found it necessary to find employment without delay. I saw Mr. Glennarm's advertisement." ment for a swered it gentleman I fell in 1 sight—" let. Just as a lark I am see what an American liking a valet looked like with Mr. Glenarm at "And I grandfather story at all the part!"

Bates's more fun than I ever thought trouble. Bless my soul!" he said, "if it wasn't a shame that Bates can never look another omolette for me!" We seat Bates back with my grandfather from the boat-house, and Stoddard, Larry and I started across the ice, the light coating of snow made walking comparatively easy. We strode on silently, Stoddard leading. Their plan was to take an accommodation train at the first station beyond Annandale, leave it at a town 40 miles away, and then hurry east to an obscure place in the mountains of Maryland where a religious order maintained a house. There Stoddard promised Larry asylum and no questions asked. As my two friends waved farewell to me from the roar platform of their train a mood of depression seized me; I had lost much that day, and what I had gained,—my restoration to the regard of the kind old man of my own blood, who had appealed for my companionship in terms hard to deny,—seemed trifling as I tramped back over the ice. Perhaps Pickering, after all, was the real gainer by the day's events! I tramped on back toward the Glencairn shore, and leaving the lake, half-unconsciously struck into the wood beyond the dividing wall. The melted snow of mid-day was now crisp ice that rattled and broke under my tread. I came out into an open space beyond St. Agatha's, found the walk and turned toward home in the gathering night. As I neared the main entrance to the school the door opened and a woman came out under the overchanging lamp. She carried a lantern, and turned with a hand outstretched to some one who followed her with careful steps. "Ah, Marlan," cried my grandfather, "it's ever the task of youth to light the way for age!" CHAPTER XXVII CHAPTER XXVII. And so the Light Led Me. He had been to see Sister Theresa, and Marian was walking with him to the gate. I saw her quite plainly in the light that fell from the lamp overhead. A long cloak covered her, and a fur toque capped her graceful head. My grandfather and his guide were apparently in high spirits and their laughter smote harshly upon me. It seemed to shut me out,—to lift a barrier against me. The world lay there within the radius of that swaying light, and I hung aloof, hearing her voice and jealous of the very companionship and sympathy between them. But the light led me. I remembered with bitterness that I had always followed her—whether as Olivia, trailing in her girlish grace across the snow, or as the girl in gray, whom I had followed on that night journey at Christmas eve; and I followed now. The distrust, my shattered faith, my utter loneliness, could not weigh against the joy of hearing that laugh of hers breaking mellowly on the night. I paused to allow the two figures to widen the distance between us as they traversed the path that curved away toward the chapel. I could still hear their voices, and see the lantern flash and disappear. I felt an impulse to turn back, or plunge into the woodland; but I was carried on uncontrollable. The light glimmered and her voice still floated back to me. It stole through the keen winter dark like a memory of spring; and so her voice and the light led me. Then I heard an exclamation of dismay followed by laughter, in which my grandfather joined merrily. "Oh, never mind; we're not afraid!" she exclaimed. I had rounded the curve in the path where I should have seen the light; but the darkness was unbroken. There was silence for a moment, in which I drew quite near to them. Then my grandfather's voice broke out cheerily. "Now I must go back with you! A fine person you are to guide an old man! A foolish virgin, indeed, with no oil in her lamp!" "Please do not! Of course I'm going to see you quite to your own door! I don't intend to put my hand to the lantern and then turn back!" "This walk isn't what it should be," said my grandfather, "we'll have to make a better one in the spring." Then they were silent and I heard him futilely striking a match, when suddenly the lantern fell, its wires rattling as it struck the ground, and the two exclaimed with renewed merriment upon their misfortune. "If you will allow me!" I called out, fumbling in my pocket for my own matchbox. I have sometimes thought that there is really some sort of decent courtesy to me. An old man caught in a rough path that was none too good at best! And a girl, even though my enemy! But these were not, I fancy, the reflections that crossed my mind at the moment. "Ah, it's Jack," exclaimed my grandfather. "Marlan was showing me the way to the gate and our light went out." "Miss Devereux," I murmured. I have, I hope, an icy tone for persons who have incurred my displeasure, and I employed it then and there with, no doubt, its fullest value. She and my grandfather were groping in the dark for the lost lantern "I Wanted You to Come, Squire Glenarm?" and I, putting out my hand, touched her unloved fingers. "I beg your pardon," she murmured frostily. Then I found and grasped the lantern. "One moment." I said, "and I'll see what's the trouble." I thought my grandfather took it, but the flame of my wax match showed her fingers clasping the wire frame. The cloak slipped away, showing her arm's soft curve, the blue and white of her bodice, the purple blur of violets; and for a second I saw her face, with a smile quivering about her lips. My grandfather was beating the ground impatiently with his stick, urging us to leave the lantern and go on. "Let it alone," he said. "I'll go down through the chapel; there's a lantern in there somewhere." "I'm awfully sorry," she said, "but I recently lost my best lantern!" To be sure she had! I was angry that she should so brazenly recall the night I found her looking for Pickerling's notes in the passage at the Door of Bewilderment! She had lifted the lantern now, and I was striving to touch the wax taper to the wick, with imminent danger to my bare fingers. "They don't really light well when the oil's out," she observed, with an exasperating air of wisdom. I took it from her hand and shook it close to my ear. "Yes; of course, it's empty." I muttered disdainfully, and threw it from me. "Oh, Mr. Glenarm!" she cried, turning away toward my grandfather. I heard his stick beating the rough path several yards away. He was hastening toward Glenarm House. "I think Mr. Glenarm has gone home." "Oh, that is too bad!" she exclaimed. "Thank you! He's probably at the chapel by this time. If you will permit me—" "Not at all!" A man in the sixties should not tax his arteries too severely. I was quite sure that my grandfather ran up the chapel steps; I could hear his stick beating hurriedly on the stones. "If you wish to go farther"—I began. I was indignant at my grandfather's conduct; he had deliberately run off, leaving me alone with a young woman whom I had resolved never to see again. "Thank you; I shall go back now. I was merely walking to the gate with Mr. Glenarm. It is so fine to have him back again, so unbelievable!" It was just such a polite murmur as one might employ in speaking to an old foe at a friend's table. She listened a moment for his step; then, apparently satisfied, turned back toward St. Agatha's. I followed, uncertain, hesitating, marking her definite onward flight. From the folds of her cloak stole the faint perfume of violets. The sight of her, the sound of her voice, combined to create—and to destroy!—a mood with every step. I was seeking some colorless thing to say when she spoke over her shoulder: "You are very kind, but I am not the least afraid, Mr. Glenarm." "But there is something I wish to say to you, now that we have met. I should like—" She slackened her step. "Yes." "I am going away." "Yes; of course; you are going away." Her tone implied that this was something that had been ordained from the beginning of time, and did not matter. "And I wish to say a word about Mr. Pickering," I added. She paused and faced me abruptly. We were at the edge of the wood, and the school lay quite near. She caught the cloak closer about her and gave her head a little toss I remembered well, as a trick compelled by the vagaries of woman's headaddress. "I can't talk to you here, Mr. Glennarm; I had no intention of ever seeing you again; but I must say this to you—" "Those notes of Pickering's—I shall ask Mr. Glennarm to give them to you—as a mark of esteem from me." She stepped backward as though I had struck her. "You risked much for them—and for him—" I went on. "Mr. Glenarm, I have no intention of discussing that, or any other matter with you—" "It is better so—" "But your accusations, the things you imply, are unjust, infamous!" The quaver in her voice shook my resolution to deal harshly with her. "I if I had not myself been a wit. ness—” I began. “Yes; you have the conceit of your own wisdom, Ledare say.” “But that challenge to follow you, to break my pledge; my running away, only to find that Pickering was close at my heels; your visit to the tunnel in search of those noises—don’t you know that those things were a blow that hurt? You had been the spirit of this woodland to me. Through all these months, from the hour I watched you paddle off into the sunset in your canoe, the thought of you made the days brighter—steadied and cheered me, and awakened ambitions that I had forgotten—abandoned—long ago. And this hideous struggle here—it seems so idle, so worse than useless now! But I'm glad I followed you—I'm glad neither fortune nor duty kept me back. And now I want you to know that Pickering shall not suffer for anything that has happened. I shall not punish him; for your sake he shall go free.” A sigh so deep that it was like a sob broke from her. She thrust forth her hand entreatingly. "Why don't you go to him with your generosity? You are so ready to believe ill of me! And I shall not defend myself; but I will say these things to you. Mr. Glecarm: I had no idea, no thought of seeing him at the Armstrong's.—it was a surprise to me—and to them—when he telegraphed he was coming. And when I went into the tunnel there under the wall that night, I had a purpose—a purpose—" "Yes?" She paused and I bent forward, earnestly waiting for her words, knowing that here lay her great offending. "I was afraid—I was afraid that Mr. Glennarm might not come in time; that you might be dispossessed—lose the fight, and I came back with Mr. Picklering because—that was the easiest and quickest way—and I thought some dreadful thing might happen here—to you—" She turned and ran from me with the speed of the wind, the cloak fluttering out darkly about her. At the door, under the light of the lamp, I was close upon her. Her hand was on the vestibule latch. "But how should I have known?" I cried, "when you had taunted me with my imprisonment at Glenarm: you had dared me to follow you. If you can tell me—if there is an answer to that—" "I shall never tell you anything—more! You were so eager to think ill of me—to accuse me!" "It was because I love you; it was my jealousy of that man, my boyhood enemy, that made me catch at any doubt! You are so beautiful—you are so much a part of the peace, the charm of all this! I had hoped for spring—for you and the spring together!" "Oh, please—!" Her sight had shaken the toque to an unwonted angle; her breath came quick and hard as she tugged at the latch eagerly. The light from overhead was full upon us, but I could not go with hope and belief struggling unsatisfied in my heart. I seized her hands and sought to look into her eyes. "But you challenged me—to follow you! I want to know why you did that!" She drew away, struggling to free herself. "Why was it, Marlan?" "I wanted you to come, Squire Glenarm! My history of the affair at Glenarm has overrun the bounds I had set for it, and these, I submit, are not days for the desk and pen. Marian is turning over the sheets of manuscript that lie at my left elbow and demanding that I quit work for a walk abroad. My grandfather is pacing the terrace outside, planning, no doubt, those changes in the grounds that are his constant delight. Of some of the persons concerned in this winter's tale let me say a word more. The prisoner whom Larry left behind we discharged after several days with all the honors of war, and (I may add without breach of confidence) a comfortable indemnity. Larry has made a reputation by his book on Russia—a searching study into the conditions of the Czar's empire, and, having squeezed that lemon, he is now in Tibet. His father has secured from the British government a promise of immunity for Larry, so long as that amiable adventurer keeps away from Ireland. My friend's latest letters to me contain, I note, no reference to The Sod. Bates is in California conducting a fruit ranch, and when he visited us last Christmas he bore all the marks of a gentleman whom the world uses well. Stoddard's life has known many remarkable changes in the three years that have passed, but they must wait for another day, and, perhaps, another historian. Suffice it to say that it was he who married us—Marian and me—in the little chapel by the wall, and that when he comes now and then to visit us, we renew our impression of him as a man large of body and of soul. Sister Theresa continues at the head of St. Agatha's, and she and the other Sisters of her brown-clad company are delightful neighbors. Pleierling's failure and subsequent disappearance were described sufficiently in the newspapers, and his name is never mentioned at Glenarm. As for myself—Marian is tapping the floor restlessly with her boot and I must hasten—I may say that I am no idler. It was I who carried on the work of finishing Glenarm House, and I manage the farms which my grandfather has lately acquired in this neighborhood. But better still, from my own point of view, I maintain in Chicago an office as consulting engineer, and I have already had several important commissions. Glenarm House is now what my grandfather had wished to make it, a beautiful and dignified mansion. He insisted on filling up the tunnel, so that the Door of Bewilderment is no more. The passage in the wall and the strong box in the paneling of the chlmney-breast remain. Though the latter we use now as a hiding place for certain prized bottles of rare whisky which John Marshall Glenarm ordains shall be taken down only on Christmas Eves, to drink the health of Olivia Gladys Armstrong. That young woman, I may add, is now a belle in her own city, and of the scores of youngsters all the way from Pittsburgh to New Orleans who lay siege to her heart, my word is, may the best man win! Marlan—the most patient of women—is walking toward the door, eager for the sunshine, the free airs of spring, the blue vistas lakeward, and at last I am ready to go. Japanese Taste in Colors Japanese dress in Colors. The Japanese dress very quietly, even more so than Americans. The babies are decked out in very gay colors, contrasts of purple, yellow, red, etc. The children wear mostly big patterns of "kasui." This is the name for the large patterns of squares, blocks, lines, etc, which are mostly white patterns on blue ground. Blue is a favorite color in Japan, probably more so than any other single color, varying from indigo to very dark blue. The older they get the more soberly they dress, and the men wear no loud colors. Black may be said to be the national color in cloth, and the clothing mostly used is very narrow striped gray and black. The younger girls affect gay colors, and on holidays that is true of a large portion of the people, but ordinarily the "daimio jima" is the national costume. The name "daimio jima," which means "daimio stripes," is said to have been derived from the fact that anciently it was the distinctive dress of the daimios. Next to the stripes, small white dots on a blue ground are in most common use. "There's Many a Slip." This phrase originated with a poor slave. It was prophesied of a king, and the prophey was fulfilled. When Ancaeus was king of Samos in the Grecian archipelago, he planted an extensive vineyard, and oppressed his slaves so heavily in its cultivation that one of the bolder ones prophesied that he would never live to taste any of the wine. The king laughed and had the slave beaten. Then at last when the wine was made he sent for the slave to witness him drink the first glass in order to show him that the prophecy was false. When the servant appeared, the king, raising the glass of liquor, sald: "What do you think of your prophecy now?" "There is many a slip 'twixt cup and lip,' was the answer. The words were scarcely uttered when Ancaeus was informed that a wild boar had broken into the vineyard and was ruining it. Dropping the wine untasted, the king hastened to the scene to drive out the boar, but he was killed in the encounter, and the slave's prophecy was fulfilled.—The Sunday Magazine. Different.

Killing of Walker by Marmaduke and Its Effect on Confederate Fortunes. "A duel between two confederate generals, almost in the midst of an important engagement, in the early stages of the civil war, had something to do with the final collapse/ of the southern cause," said an ex-confederate living in New York after his return from the Davis and J. E. B. Stuart memorial celebrations in Richmond, relates the New York Sun. "We were not as united as the new generation would have you believe. "There was always a misunderstanding between the Richmond government and the trans-Mississippi department. Early in the conflict I was sent to Arkansas to learn the cause of the trouble in the leadership. "Five men, whose names later became a part of the history of the cause, were at variance at a time when unity was essential. These men were Sterling Price, Marmaduke, Walker, Holmes and Fagan. Price was the idol of the Missouri troops. Marmaduke was a born soldier. Walker was a martention. Holmes was uncertain in judgment. Fagan was a good fighter when he was discreetly directed. "When I reached Arkansas these five men were before Helena for the purpose of wrestling it from the enemy. It was a strategic position at the time. It is not necessary to go into the details of the story. The point is that the attack failed." "It was a blow to the Richmond government early in the cause. The failure lay not with the soldiers but with the leader. Holmes had planned the fight. Events showed that he had no conception of the strength of the fortifications of the enemy or of the enemy's numbers. "After the failure dissensions among the leaders increased. This was noticed by the case between Walker and Marmaduke. "If I remember correctly Walker ranked Marmaduke. In one of the movements Walker had ordered the troops under his command to retreat. To Marmaduke was given the post of danger—covering the retreat. He was assured that at a certain point he would be reenforced by Walker. "It was important that he should have this aid. When he arrived at A man standing in a forest, looking up at a horse rider in a circle above him. Killed His Adversary the First Shot. the point not a man, save his own division, was to be seen. Not only that, but Walker had failed to com- municate with him. Marmaduke ex- tricated himself from the situation by a miracle. "In several engagements that follow- ed Walker, though still in com- mand, held himself aloof from Marmaduke. The two men hated each other personally, but Marmaduke was enough of a soldier to let that pass at the time. Walker was sullen and sulky. "Marmaduke sent an alide to ask Walker for orders. Walker refused to answer because, as he said, it was unmilitary for a superior officer to receive a verbal message from an in- ferior. Marmaduke reduced his re- quest to writing and sent it. Walker never replied. "After the troops had been rescued from the situation, for that is what it amounted to, Marmaduke, smarting under the conduct of Walker, Informed Walker's superior of existing conditions and demanded that his IF YOU WILL TALK WITH YOUR NEIGH BORS AND INTEREST THEM IN THE PLANET WE WILL HELP YOU TO OBTAIN A PREMIUM COLORED INFANTRY IN RESCUE OF ROUGH RIDERS AT SAN JUAN HILL, JULY 2, 1898, SIZE 20X28 AND 20X24 INCHES, ADMIRAL DEWEY'S GREAT NAVAL BATTLE OFF CAVITE IN MANILA BAY, MAY 1ST, 1898, NAVAL BATTLE, DESTRUCTION OF ADMIRAL CERVERA'S SPANISH FLEET OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, JULY 3RD, 1898, SIZE 22X28 INCHES; LAND BATTLE, CAPTURE OF EL CANEY, EL PASO AND FORTIFICATIONS OF SANTIAGO, JULY FIRST AND SECOND, 1898, SIZE 22X28 AND 22X27 INCHES.

Falling in this Marmduke said his resignation was ready. ```markdown ``` "This was an interesting condition at such a time. I don't think it had its counterpart during the remainder of the war. "Marmaduke's attitude widened the breach. Walker remained obdurate. Then came the climax. "Marmaduke challenged Walker. The latter accepted. The affair was known only to a few. The meeting took place almost within sight of the soldiers. "Marmaduke was an expert marksman. He killed his adversary the first shot. Think of such a thing at such a time! "Marmaduke and his seconds were promptly arrested. Only for Walker's unpopularity Marmaduke would have been court-martialled. Through the influence of officials high in authority the affair was dropped, but it took time to restore the army to discipline. And when the time came the enemy had secured advantages which were maintained throughout. "The Richmond government was charged with indifference to the situation beyond the Mississippi. It was due very largely to the lack of unity among the leaders in the west. "By the time they had come to their senses the damage had been done. The south's defeat has been ascribed to many causes. One of them, not generally known, I have stated. "All the participants in the Walker-Marmaduke duel are dead with the exception of Marmaduke's chief second, Col. John C. Moore. He is, or was a year ago, still living in Kansas City." HEROINE OF CIVIL WAR. Mrs. Ellda Fowle Founded a Library with President Lincoln's Help.

At the time the civil war broke out Mrs. Powle, who was then Elda Rumley, was living in New York, but soon went to Washington, where she hoped to be enrolled with the army nurses under the charge of Dorothea Dix. But she was too young to obtain a regular commission and then resolved to do, as she herself says, "the next best thing." Possessed of a beautifully sympathetic voice, she was one day traveling through one of the hospitals when someone asked for a song, and Mrs. Powle started to sing. Her efforts were greeted with wild cheering and from that time on she believed that she had found her mission. At all the hospitals about Washington her face and voice became familiar, and it was while engaged upon this work, when she heard the complaint that many of the soldiers spent their time in idly playing cards and telling useless stories, that she conceived the idea of founding a library for them. With this object in view she went to President Lincoln, who promised her a site for the library, provided she could obtain the necessary sum to erect it. Her voice was the only thing she could depend upon to raise money with so that together with Mr. Fowle she determined to give a series of concerts to raise the necessary fund for the library building. President Lincoln allowed her the use of the Marine band at two of these concerts and within a very short time she managed to raise about $2,000. Mrs. Fowle was only 18 years of age when this library was built, but it was soon stacked with books, which were freely given to the soldiers, who obtained them under their signature and a promise to return them. ```markdown ``` At that time Mr. Fowle was employed in the navy department at Washington, but his tastes were very much in common with those of his fiancee, and she obtained no little support from him in all her endeavors. Together they were members of the choir in the house of representatives and it was this circumstance that induced them to be married there. On that occasion the floor and galleries were packed, fully 4,000 people being present. The bride was also requested to sing, "The Star Spangled Banner" immediately after the ceremony. Australian Lyre Bird Of Australia's lyre bird a naturalist writes: "It imitates the notes and songs of other birds and reproduces a blissing noise similar to that uttered by an alarmed snake, and a sharp knocking sound like that produced by striking a tree trunk with a stick. All these sounds are uttered apparently for the bird's own amusement. The sounds of imitation include the calls and cries of every creature that is found in the localities which the lyre bird inhabits, including those of such noisy birds as the eagle and the laughing jackass. The lyre bird nearly always interposes snatches of its own song between its mimic cries." Subscribe to The PLANET. Only $1.50 per year.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 28, 1907 The National Baptist Convention by its action in endorsing Senator Joseph B. Foraker and commending him for his action in the Brownsville affair has indirectly condemned President Roosevelt. It was only after the most strenuous efforts on the part of the presiding officer that even this conservative stand was taken. Had the matter been forced to an open discussion and a vote, the outcome would not have been in doubt. This shows conclusively the sentiment of the colored people in this matter. There is no power in earth that will stay the tide, when any man who has had any connection with this unfortunate affair presents himself to the public for suffrage The slump in New York, New Jersey, Indiana and Ohio would be sufficient to turn the tide in a presidential election If the Democratic Party is far-sighted enough to nominate a man who has a reasonable chance of being elected and the Republican Party is fool-hardy enough to put into commission such a states man as Judge William H. Taft. President Roosevelt has leaned too far backward in this matter and he seems determined to pursue his unjustifiable course to the bitter end. O, the pity of it! THE NIAGARA MOVEMENT. We have read with much interest the address to the country of the Niagara Movement of which the able and brilliant Dr. W. E. B. DuBois is the leading spirit. We regard him as being the heart of the movement so to speak. That which worrles us most is the fact that he seems to be absent when the platforms are adopted and the address to the country agreed upon. He is the embodiment of that statistical information which is now having such telling effect among the conservative white and colored people of the nation and yet this very information is not found in any of the deliverances to the public. The address adopted at Boston, Mass. rings true and yet there are unfortunate expressions in its composition that would serve a better purpose in ward meetings or during the stress of a political campaign. While we disagree with President Roosevelt and condemn severely some of his methods and policies, we consider it bad taste to speak of him as "the man in the White House." Theodore Roosevelt is President of the United States and the office surrounds him with a kind of halo that entitles him to all the respect that we can give him. We admit that he has strained us in this respect at times, when we considered the way he has of doing things and often riding rough-shoot over the rights of others. Still colored people cannot afford to use unseemly or harsh language in discussing his shortcomings in a document that is to be taken as an expression of opinion by the ablest colored men in this country. The address is short and to the point and for that reason will be generally read, we presume by even President Roosevelt himself. We agree that it is better to vote for avowed foes than for false friends. So far as we are personally concerned, we shall vote for neither. We do not see how any self-respecting citizens of color can fail to show their disapproval at the polls of the policy of President Roosevelt and his judicial friend, Secretary William H. Taft. It is natural to suppose that if they are given the opportunity, the colored people will bury both so deep politically that "Gabriel's trumpet will not awaken them." Personally we would not harm a hair of their heads. If they want to restore to themselves the confidence of the colored people, let them reinstate the members of that brave black battalion, that they so ignominiously dismissed from the service as a gang of felons, without a jury trial or even a court martial. Justice wept and Mercy fainted when this order was recorded. SENATOR FORAKER AND GREAT QUESTIONS. Senator J. B. Foraker is now one of the most entertaining and forceful political orators before the public. His utterances attract immediate attention and all that he says is replete with information and resplendent with the rhetorical flourishes for which he has been always noted. We particularly admire him for the reason that he never leaves great principles, even when he is dealing sledge-hammer blows at his bitterest enemies. He always expresses a willingness to abide results, when honestly expressed by the people he has been chosen to represent. A man of his type and mold is an ideal candidate for a great office. His speech at Hillsboro, Ohio, September 18, 1907 shows his old time skill and every word uttered along studied lines evidently "struck home" when placed alongside of the outspoken declarations and pronounced policies of President Roosevelt. Senator Foraker is quoted as follows: "Never before the civil war nor since, until within the last two or three years, has the slightest counter nance been given by the American people particularly by anybody in authority, to any suggestion from any source that our Constitution should ever be amended, except only in accordance with its own provisions, much less that the judicial department should prostitute its great powers in an effort to change the Constitution by judicial construction or that the people or the officials of government high or low should disregard its limitations, or in any manner oversteep the powers it confers in the slightest degree under any pretext whatever. This is a direct reference to the utterances of President Roosevelt countenancing such a policy and indicating that the Supreme Court of the United States would be so changed as to reverse itself in many of its most important decisions. This has been facetiously called the "a-mendment of the Constitution by judicial interpretation." This distinguished Ohioan continued: "For more than a century we have found a way, and without difficulty, of meeting every exigency that has arisen, consistently with the Constitution. "Notwithstanding this long and successful experience, there is now abroad in the land a widespread and dangerous sense, not only of impatience with the restraints of the Constitution, but of positive purpose to disregard, violate, and overthrow them, if they cannot be otherwise evaded." This has been the policy of the South for the last forty years and this mullification of the Constitution of the United States, relative to the rights of the citizens of color has led to the curtailing of the rights of white citizens notably so in the cases of the railroad corporations of the United States and these same corporations are now running to the protecting provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment, which was enacted primarily for the benefit of the Negroes, whom these same railroad lines have discriminated against and humiliated in every way imaginable. Surely, the top rail is being placed at the bottom. Senator Foraker said further: "To say that the Constitution, or any part of it, has become obsolete is simply to deal in a rhetoric which violates sentiment as well as contradicts facts. No greater calamity could befall this country than for it to so change its Constitution as to authorize the Federal government to deal with all, or, any considerable part, of the subjects over which the States reserved control. The many powers of the Federal government THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA conferred directly and by implication to deal with national and international affairs, call for more legislation than it is possible for the Congress to carefully consider, thoroughly debate and properly enact." The above is sound logic and is in accordance with great principles. It seems strange to us that statesmen of the calibre of Theodore Roosevelt cannot see this at a glance and realize that quick methods at the sacrifice of vital principles must do more harm than good and react injuriously upon those practicing such innovations. The fundamental principle of all good governments is to do right and be guided in accordance with the dictates of truth and justice. Expediency at times is a good hand maiden, but can never be called into service where, the vital question of right and wrong is the issue. Expediency travels upon middle ground but in such cases there is no middle ground, upon which it can travel. The distinguish d Senator occupies the high platform of the world's statesman, when he gives voice to the following language: "If we were to have these powers enlarged so as to take away from the States the subjects of legislation in any considerable number which now belong to the States or are reserved to the people, it would mean that the government at Washington would be simply swamped, unless while we were amending the Constitution to make such a change we should also provide for a less representative and more automatic method of enacting laws and exercising Federal power, and that, it may be assumed, the American people will not be willing to do so long as they appreciate American liberty." It will repay any student in political economy or devotee of constitutional law to read and ponder these wise utterances of this truly remarkable leader, who has thrown political preferment to the winds in his desire to fully express himself upon the most momentous question now confronting the nation. He said: "It was treason in 1861-1865 to undertake with arms to overinwr the Constitution. It is not within the constitutional definition of treason to undertake to overthrow that instrument by the advocacy of the idea that it shall be changed by judicial construction and interpretation, or by compelling disregard of its provisions through the force of public sentiment. The above is a crushing reply to President Roosevelt and it must be read again and again to get the full effect of these most astounding declarations. They are "twelve inch" shots delivered at the distinguished occupant of the White House and places him in the class with those who attempted to destroy not only the Constitution, but the government as well. Senator Foraker clothes his utterances in parliamentary verbage and shapes his charges in diplomatic language. That this will tend to widen the breach between himself and the President hardly admits of question. it is now a case of "war to the knife and knife to the hilt." The following utterances partake of the nature of a divine warning: "The great purpose of the constitutional barriers was to resist storms of passion and protect against the unreasoning sentiment in times of undue excitement. From the knowledge of this safeguard arises the assurance of wisdom in the conduct of our affairs and consequent stability for our institutions. This sense of security is invaluable. No higher duty rests on the American people at this time than that of setting their faces resolutely against all suggestions and plans that would destroy or impair it." We need more men of the Foraker type. They tend to clear the atmosphere and call the nation back to "its first love." No statesman in modern times has given voice to more axiomatic truths than has this honored American, whose "voice in the wilderness" of latter day delusions will be heard for many days. Ohio may retire him, but the people of the United States will be the greatest sufferers as the result of such ill-advised action. THE SOUTHERN CHURCHMAN AND THE NEGRO. The Southern Churchman of this city edited by Rev. Meade Clark, rector of St. James Episcopal Church contains advanced thought and thenoughly up-to-date opinions upon matters annecting the colored people of that great Church. We have read the editorial again and again and we are of the opinion that if we had more white men of Rev. Clark's calibre and advanced ideas with the nerve to say exactly what he thinks there would be a change for the better in this great aristocratic organization. We confess that we have been surprised as we have read his declarations embracing as they do our opinion upon this all important subject. It deals with conditions, not the theories that confront us. He says: "Granting that the general convention shall find some means of kindling an interest in the work for the Negroes, what then shall b done? The present status of the Negro Churchman in the South is absolutely abnormal and utterly unreasonable. So far as his ecclesiastical standing is concerned, he is neither fish, flesh, nor fowl. He is nominally in the Church, but not of it. He has no standing in its councils, by whom he is ruled, and no voice in the making of the laws by which he is governed. He is invited, almost vociferously, into this Church, and when he gets into the vestibule of its organization, he is told "Thus far and no farther," and the door is shut in his face. And for this condition, so far as human judgment can see, no living person is responsible, nor can any power in the world alter the conditions. The dream of social equality has vanished like a fog at midday, and the dream of ecclesiastical equality is fast following in its wake. And so far as the Southern Churchman is concerned, it believes that these conditions are, and ought to be, fixed and unalterable. What have the Negro Episcopalians to say to this? Those who have boasted of "High Church" and who have left other denominations to embrace a condition herein portrayed will hardly be able to appreciate the frankness herein expressed. As most of the colored people, who are being subjected to this kind of treatment are people of educational ability and exceptional intelligence, we are at a loss to understand how they could continue to tolerate these conditions. The Southern Churchman continues; The two races are drifting farther and farther apart, the gulf between them widening and deopening each year—more is the pity. Years ago there were many points of sympathetic contact between the two races; to-day every close observer in the South knows there are practically none. Separation in social life, in politics, in travel, and in many other directions, has led to a condition in which the only logical outcome is to continue that work of separation to the end. This may be painful, but the same plan is to look facts in the face and recognize them, however painful they may be. No revolution goes backward, and certainly this one is going to prove no exception to the rule. The above is the statement of a fact that all of us must realize and appreciate. This condition has been ordained by the white men, who control affairs in the Southland and they have received the hearty co-operation of the intelligent colored men, who have accepted the improbable declaration that this separation will prove beat for both races. Instead of remedying the avilis complained of, it has tended to create in the Negro-hating white elements the demand that the separation go on to the extent of putting the Atlantic Ocean between the two races and some of our highly indignant colored folks are giving encouragement to this same plea and are advocating the emigration of the Negroes to Africa. This cannot be forebly done until the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States have been repealed and some of the more virulent and active members of the Anti-Negro Brigade are demanding that this be done at once. The real cause of the additional agitation is the progress of the Negroes. The separation that was thought would prove his political undoing has proved to be his financial salvation. He is accumulating property and gathering all kinds of information. The hot-bed of Negro enterprises is right in the hot-bed of the Negro's oppression. He flourishes under the most unavoidable conditions and every drop of blood shed in his struggle for material elevation and financial advancement yields ten-fold both in increase in population and multiplication of revenue. How this is done and why is a mystery. No man has been yet wise enough to work it out and we are forced to utter in amazement the last words of McKinley, "It's God's way; His will be done, not ours." The Southern Churchman continues: What, then, shall be done? Why simply recognize facts, and build our methods on the recognition and acceptance of those facts. Recognize that if the Negro is ever to come into the Church, he must so come as to be able to preserve his self-respect: for we had better leave him out of the Church than to bring him in at the expense of his racial self-respect. He must be given his own teachers and his own leaders; for no teacher or leader of an alien race can so enter into his aspirations and ideals as to be, in any true sense, a real leader and teacher to him. We plead for an autonomous Chinese and Japanese and African Church, because we believe that only by such a Church can these races ever be evangelized, and permanently organized into a Church. In these things be true in China and Japan and Africa, what is there in the atmosphere of America to prevent them from being equally true in this country? The race, in coming to this country, has changed its skies, not its nature, and still remains, so far as the Anglo-Saxon is concerned an alien race. And the Southern Churchman maintains, as an eternally true thesis that no race was ever thoroughly evangelized and permanently ecclesiastically organized by members of an alien race. The above language should be graven and enshrined in the heart of every race loving Negro in the United States. This is the bed-rock principle of the whole discussion. Rev. Meade Clark has gone to the bottom of the contention and given voice to a truth that is as eternal as the pillars of the Almighty. Will our educated people see? Will they realize the force and effect of all that this true "child of God" has made plain to them?" Will they be blind to the facts and shut their eyes to historical truths for it must not be forgotten that history repeats itself and that the cycles of time to-day are but duplicates of those that have gone on before? Let us hope that they will. And again: Give, then, the Negro his own teachers and leaders, and allow him to develop on his own race lines and according to his own race instincts, for only thus will he ever truly develop at all. And surely the Anglo-Saxon is the last man to deny the righteousness of race instinct and ideals. But we are told there is no Negro in the Church fitted for leadership. If this be true, then the Church, by its own confession stand's self-condemned. If after forty odd years of work, with a generation of Negroes born and grown to old-age in freedom, this Church has far traced no single capable and efficient arm, so high time we were wiping out all our present methods and beginning again from the very foundation. Certainly, there is some radical defect in the methods when, in more than an entire generation, working among millions of people, at an expense of hundreds of thousands of dollars, not one single capable and efficient leader has been developed. If this be true, then the African Methodist and African Baptist Churches have far outstripped us, and set us an example worthy of imitation. And the institution that trained Doctor Booker T. Washington has put us everlastingly to shame Surely with such results as they have produced, we are dishonored by the confession that we have failed to produce one solitary leader. What argument can refute these assertions? They speak for themselves and we will not mar their effect by any additional comment. The Southern Churchman continues: But the danger of "secession" and the founding of a "schismatic Church" if we give them the Episcopate. Again, is this Church willing to confess that in all these years it has failed to produce one solitary trustworthy son among all its thousands of Negro communicants? is it willing to put such a stigma on its Negro communicants as this charge suggests? If then, the result of all its preaching to, and teaching of Negroes is utter untrustworthiness, the statement is a confession of absolute failure, and an utter condemnation of all our present methods. The plain meaning of such a charge is that we have failed to teach morals and build up character; and if this be true, our whole present work is a sham and a delusion. For a "Churchmanship" that does not teach morals and eventuate in character is an offense to God and man. Either we have men among our Negro communicants who are fit to load and absolutely trustworthy, or our whole work has been, and is, a failure, and the sooner it is given up or revolutionized the better. We did not think that here was a man in the Episcopacy, who would dare to take such a stand as is here in portrayed by these plain, outspoken utterances. This journal continues But how "Catholic Usage, and the horrid nightmare of "Two Bishops in a Diocese?" As to "two Bishops in a Diocese," there is not a man of intelligence in the South who does not know perfectly well that the white and black races are separated by much deeper more defined and inflexible lines, than the lines which separate the Dioceses of Virginia and North Carolina: and there would be much more danger of confusion as to State lines than as to race lines. This every Southern man knows perfectly well. As an illustration; Any white communicant in Richmond knows very much better what is going on in the churches in Washington, or Baltimore, or even Philadelphia and New York, than he does of what is going on in St. Philip's colored church, around the corner in his own city. And this condition is peculiar to no Southern city, but common to them all. Bishop Cheshire and Bishop Strange might unconsciously overlap; the white and black bishops: Never! This condition, too, is known to every intelligent white man in the South, and every Negro as well. As to an "imperium in imperio," it is simply a dream—a thing that has no existence, save in fancy, for the line between the two races is far better defined than the line between any two states in this Union." We shall watch with much interest the result of this most remarkable dissertation, coming as it does from one of the most influential church journals in the Southland. The way has been pointed out and the conditions portrayed must be peculiarly humiliating to the better class of our people who have sought the protecting influence of one of the most aristocratic and intellectual religious organizations in the world. That they have, in a large measure involuntarily sacrificed a large proportion of their racial self-respect hardly admits of a question. That they were endeavoring to regain that portion of it that was lost is evidenced by their strenuous efforts to secure long delayed recognition by precipitating a contest for a Negro THIS RAZOR Practically FREE With a year's subscription to the (Name of Your Paper) and The Philadelphia Press The razor is made from the best Sheffield Steel, hardened and tempered thermometrically and guaranteed.

Bishop within the confines of the Church in these United States. It should not be forgotten that this separation will bring in its wake financial responsibility, and that in order to be manly and to win the increased respect of the Episcopacy of the world, it will be necessary for the Negro wing of the Church to be self-supporting, and not look to the mother Church for the payment of the salaries of either the Negro Bishops or the Rectors, who may be in charge of the work. This does not mean or imply that money is not to be accepted from white sources, but it does mean that the bed-rock support must be from within and not from without. We may ponder with profit all that this journal has said and we should use Rev. Meade Clark's "yard stick" in measuring every department of racial enterprise, be it secular or religious. If the colored people of the country will be farsighted enough to take advantage of this suggestion, they will find that twenty years from today our children will have attained a foot-hold, caused by our and their own efforts that will surprise our friends and stagger our enemies. The only way to be a great people is to be inherently independent, and the only way to acquire this independence is to put into practice the handling of our own affairs from the bottom to the top. The Baptists and Methodists of our race have learned this lesson years ago and the Presbyterians and Episcopalians who are as yet in the wilderness, so to speak, had better follow their example. But then it may be unwise to vouchsafe advice in a matter so delicate. As a rule church people are sensitive. Selah. SARANAC Lake Hotel Burned. SARANAC LAKE, N. Y., Sept. 24. Fire which broke out at about 6:45 o'clock last night completely destroyed the Hotel Ampersand, one of the largest and best known of the Adirondack hotels. The fire started in the elevator shaft, probably from a cigarette, on the ground floor and in a short time swept through the entire structure. The loss is estimated at $270,000. The hotel closed for the season last Saturday, and a gang of workmen were cleaning preparatory to closing for the winter. The hotel was owned by a New York stock company.

Alabama Granger Who Visited Sagnamore Hill Dend at Hacknacken. HACKNENSACK, N. J., Sept. 25. — The police believe that the body of a man killed by a train which was picked up on the West Store tracks near here is that of Orlando Toland, the man who started the secret service men who stand guard at Sagnamore Hill by appearing close to the president's house last Tuesday night. The man, who was undoubtedly insane, said that he had traveled from his home in Oxford, Ala., for the purpose of employing President Roosevelt to collect for him a debt of $50,000,000 due to him from John D. Rockefeller. The secret service men gave him a letter purporting to be from the president to Mr. Rockefeller and placed him on a train for New York, Toland saying he would at once start west to find Mr. Rockefeller and collect the debt. It is supposed that he got off the train before reaching New York and was run down by another train. A description of Toland received from his sister in Alabama agrees with that of the dead man. PEACE IN MOROCCO. French Overtures Accepted by Arab Trihesmen. PARIS, Sept. 25. - Peace has been declared in Morocco. The delegates of three important tribes have accepted the French peace overtures now inaugurated and will see that the terms of the agreement are carried out. Hostilities are now at an end. The government last night received with great satisfaction a dispatch from Rear Admiral Philibert, the commander of the French naval forces in Moroccan waters, saying that as a result of the conference at General Drude's headquarters between the French naval and military commanders and nineteen calds, representing the Zenaa, Ouleseeyan and Zyaia tribes, the three tribes have accepted unconditionally the peace terms offered by France. To secure the carrying out of this convention two notables of each tribe shall be given up as hostages. The delegates of the Oulesecyan, Zenata and Zyaida tribes immediately named their hostages and signed the capitulation. Grover Cleveland's Health PRINCETON, N. J., Sept. 25.—Former President Cleveland spent a quiet morning. He is better than he has been for months. Dr. Carnochan, his Princeton physician, called and was satisfied that his patient had almost completely recovered from his recent attack. "He is a well man," said the physician, "and will continue to be so. All that is necessary is careful diet." THE PLANET DEWEY'S PROTEST. Hero of Manila Bay Would Hold Philippines. TO EXTEND OUR TRADE IN ORIENT American Nation Should Not Shrink From the Responsibilities It Assumed When It Took the Islands From Spain. WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—Admiral Dewey strongly resents the proposition that has been discussed in a more or less academic manner to surrender the Philippines, which of all men he was a leading factor in bringing under the American flag. In an interview the admiral sets out clearly the reasons which impel him to insist upon the retention of the islands. Singularly enough, in view of the fact that the admiral is a man of war by trade, the strong point of his argument is not based upon the military or naval importance of the archipelago, but almost altogether upon the great value, present and prospective, of the Philippines to America in the extension of our trade with the orient, which he regards as holding out the best promise of commercial expansion. The admiral says: "Abandon the Philippines! I don't believe our country will ever do that. Certainly it should not because it has altogether too much at stake. It is only our control over the Philippines that makes it possible for us to insist upon the open door in the east, toward which our diplomacy has been directed for a number of years. We want our share of the enormous commerce of the east, and we can't keep the door open for it unless we hold the islands. "Why did Spain for 200 years dominate the commerce of the orient? Just because she had the bay and harbor of Manila as a great commercial and naval base. That base can be just as useful to us commercially as it was to Spain. For the past ten years every strong European nation has been trying to get a foothold for commercial and naval purposes in eastern waters—Germany, England, France and Russia. Through the fortune of war the United States obtained rightfully and without cibicenancy the best and most strategic position possible, giving us superior naval and commercial advantages over the other nations. What sort of common sense would it be for us to give up such a position? "Suppose we should dispose of the Philippines and Japan should acquire them. See how the islands stretch along the coast. Here are the Japanese islands, here is Formosa, which Japan owns, and then come the Philippines. If Japan had them she would command every gateway to the orient, and the United States would be completely shut out. "Every one concedes that the orient is the future great field for the principal commercial nations of the world. We ought to be the leaders, but we must at least have a share in the enterprise, and in order to do so we must maintain the position we have occupied through force of circumstances in that region. "It has been frequently said that the United States has assumed responsibilities in the Philippines which it cannot pass over to other hands. I do not care to discuss this phase of the situation except to say that I believe the American people will never shrink from such responsibilities as were assumed for them when the United States took over the Philippines." Dillon Not In Sinn Fein Movement. BOSTON, Sept. 25. The report that John Dillon had decided to join the Sinn Fein movement in Ireland is denied by the United Irish league. Secretary John O'Callaghan received the following cablegram from the league officials in Dublin: "Dillon wires authorizing you to say he is strong supporter of Redmond's leadership. Heartily accepts and indores responsibility all Redmond's action in reference to council bill and his present policy." Moxley Only Overworked NEWBURYPORT, Mass., Sept. 25.—Mrs. Edward S. Moseley, wife of the secretary of the interstate commerce commission, stated that her husband had not suffered any kind of a shock, but was merely run down as the result of overwork. Mr. and Mrs. Moseley are visiting at the residence of Mrs. Harriet Prescott Spofford, the author, at Deer island, near here. Explorer Bruce Alive and Well, TROMSOE, Norway, Sept. 23.—William Bruce, the explorer for whose safety much anxiety has been entertained, arrived here aboard the sloop Backe from Prince Charles island.

WU IS REAPPOINTED. Former Chinese Minister Is Coming Back to Washington. PEKING, Sept. 25.—The reappointment of Wu Ting Fang to his former post as minister of China at Washington is gazetted. Wu Ting Fang, who was one of the most popular diplomats ever accredited to Washington, first went to America as a young man after the completion of his legal studies in England. Returning to his own country, he became the confidential friend and legal adviser of Li Hung Chang, and it was this association which was in part responsible for Mr. Wu's rapid diplomatic advance. He was appointed minister to Washington in 1897, serv- WU TING FANG. ling with unusual distinction until his recall in 1902. His sagacity and tact were of special value to his country during the Boxer disturbances. After his return to China, Wu Ting Fang was appointed to a subordinate position as second assistant among the corps of undersecretaries of the foreign office. It was freely stated at the time that the ex-mister had lost his influence by reason of his progressive policy. He was later promoted to be vice president of the board of commerce and in this office was said to have been responsible for the boycotting of American goods. LANDIS FREES ALTON. Western Railroad Not to Be Further Prosecuted For Rebating. Prosecuted For Rebating CHICAGO, Sept. 25—It was decided by Judge Landis in the United States district court that the Chicago and Alton railway shall not be further prosecuted for its connection with the Standard Oil Company of Indiana and the granting of rebates between Whiting, Ind., and East L. Louis, Ill. Judge Landis declined to discharge the jury, but instructed its members that they had no further duty to perform in connection with the Chicago and Alton railroad. The court then called attention to a statement recently issued by President Moffett of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, in which it was claimed that if the Standard Oil company was guilty of receiving rebates no other manufacturer was innocent. The court directed the jury to investigate the conduct of other manufacturers and directed that a subpoena be issued for President Moffett. Congress of Religious Liberals. BOSTON, Sept. 25.—The international congress of religious liberals has opened in Boston, meeting for the first time in America, its previous sessions having been held in London, Amsterdam and Geneva.

Wright of Clark college will take part. Two "Only Ways" For American. LONDON, Sept. 25.—Hugh Hastings, for many years state historian of New York, is in London.

Threatens War in Central America. GUATEMALA CITY, Sept. 25.—President Cabrera of Guatemala has notified President Davila of Honduras that Guatemala will support former President Manuel Bonilla of Honduras in the latter's efforts to regain the presidency of Honduras.

VIRCINIA) FITTINGS OF WOOD CONSIDERED MORE SANITARY THAN WALL PAPER. Dull POhlanLand ta Popularity i *ho present demand for wood fit- ‘ngs are trimmings in private dwell jugs exceeds anything that has bean encountered fn that line for two de cades, and the varieties of wood in Use are even more surprising than the quantity demanded. The _ polished Woods are being superseded by the dull finished woods in most cases. There is a great demand for natural oak, chestnut, mahogany, walnut, ete, ete., and a great variety of ways in which they may be treated. Every- thing of dull finish, with the grain of the wood conspicuous, is in great fa- Yor, and the brighter browns have given place to the ash browns and ‘grays. A certain library, in which wood was extensively used to creat advan- tage, had the walls to the helght of ‘six fect from the floor covered with wood divided into panels two and a half feet wide, by strips af the wood four inches wide, both panels and dividing strips being perfectly plain and flat, without’ moldings or deéco- ration of any sort. The wood was oak, though it did not at all resemble it. The coloring was a two-tone, mottled combination of dull gray and Krayish green, every appearance of grain having been removed by a solution of jead, rubbed weil into the pores of the wood, then covered with ‘& dull etain alone. Many of the modern dining rooms have a wood cornice and frieze from 15 to 20 inches wide, the ceiling being left plain. A room of this type done in gray-toned oak with a renaissance design bad a wood cornice of eight inches joined to a 12-inch wood frieze, which was beavily carved in a scroll and grape destzn, as were also the posts unholding the mantel, the cap- itals of the doors and windows, and the six-foot wainscoting. Walnut of dull finish, quite different from the old-fashioned sort, is in ex- tensive use for lofty halls, its dark effect being relieved by touches of gold on capitals and columns. The enameled woods are steadily growing in popularity for drawing rooms, all but the ceiling being fin- | ished in the wood. A drawing room | but recently completed is lined from top to bottom with paneled, pale sreen, enameled wood in combination with white enameled wood touched up in gold leaf, and has doors, mantel and window to match. In sleeping rooms, too, wood Is taking the place of paper, birch, syea- more, bird's-eye maple, and sometimes enameled woos being used, the first mentioned being in a new garb, gray and green having the preference as to color. A sleeping room done in bird's-eye maple had a cornice and friexe 18 inches deep and a three- foot wainscoting. There is a wide belief that wood ts more sanitary than paper, but one of} he main reasons for Its increased demand is that it ia something new. it must be admitted, however, that there Is @ very restful quality in these wood interiors, TO HOLD SMALL ARTICLES.

Practical Advice to Young Men by Herbert F. Price. Money saving is becoming a lost art with young men to-day. I am sorry to see the greater majority of them wasting their money—literally throwing it away. Young men have not half the thrift they had 25 years ago. In those days nickels, dimes and quarters were brought to the bank for deposit, and it was this excellent habit of thrift that made many of the present merchants prosperous and helped them to start upon a business career of their own. I wish I could fill every young man with a dread and horror of poverty. I wish it were possible for me to make them feel its constraint, its bitterness and its despondencies—that they would make vows against it. They would then read with patience what I have to say regarding thrift. What is thrift, young man? It is the habit of saving something regularly out of your earnings, whether those earnings be $1 or $10 a day. It is the accumulation of money while young and in the prime of life. It is a fortress against poverty, and absolutely the only way to get a solid fortune. A dollar is not an insignificant thing, but worthy of great respect, and he who considers it such can rightly be said to be already poverty stricken, for he is very apt not to be influenced by the good virtue of thrift. On the contrary, he is very liable to spend every cent he earns, and then in later years, when he beholds some old acquaintance enjoying the fruits of his FOUND ITS WAY HOME. Pet Seal Which Its Owner Could Not Lose. The story of a pet seal, captured when a pup by a lighthouse keeper on the coast of England, is given in "Reminiscences of a Sportsman." The young seal was fed and allowed to have the range of the kitchen, and the members of the household became greatly attached to it. It would make its way daily down to the water, and pass many hours swimming about. It secured more or less food in that way, but always returned to its place in the kitchen at night. Blindness finally came to the seal with old age, but it continued its journeys to the sea, and returned as regularly as before. As old age increased it caused annoyance by its peculiar cry for food and its lessened ability to get about. At last the family decided they must part with it, and not wishing to kill it, they arranged with a fisherman to carry it well off—some 20 miles—and drop it into the sea. They expected that it would come to a natural death in that element. But on the second day it appeared again at its accustomed place. Another effort was made to get rid of it by arranging with a soiling vessel to take it several hundred miles out to sea and then drop it in. This was done, and some time passed, away without any sign of the seal. But seven days after its departure the kitchen maid, who slept near the door of the kitchen, fancied during the night she had heard the plaintive cry of the seal; and the next morning its emaciated body was found on the threshold. A Safe Custodian. "Granny," said little Johnnie, as he counted a lot of nuts somebody had given him, "can you eat nuts?" "No, dear," said the old lady, "I haven't got any teeth." "Well, then," said Johnnie, emptying his nuts into granny's lap, "I'll give you these to mind till I come back."

Bocker—Yes; and look at the fuss a girl makes about a freckle. hard work and self-denial, he endeavors to seek consolation in the thought that he is a victim of fate. Young men never make a more fatal mistake in life than when they consider themselves the creatures of fate—it is the greatest folly in the world. Let the man of fate stop and reason a little. How did his prosperous friend succeed, become able to drive a quick-stepping mare, travel abroad, possess the means by which he is able to enjoy the beauties of nature, social prestige, and every comfort he can wish for in his home life? He began poor like himself, but made a judicious selection in business, stuck to it with persistence and courage; kept ahead of the times, worked hard while others slept, and, above all, saved his money. He respected the cent and honored the dollar. "Hard luck" did just the opposite. He selected a business, but never had the grit to stick to it. He was lazy, and took everything in an easy manner. Then, when failure and poverty stare him in the face, he says: "I am a victim of fate." Like small acorns which grow into great oak trees do a few cents daily saved rapidly grow into large bank accounts. How a Small Sum Saved Daily In Time Grows Into a Fortune. Cents a day. Per year.

There are very few young men, if any, that cannot save daily, by denying themselves the enjoyment of cigars, tobacco, and other things which could easily be dispensed with. Thus they will be laying up something for old age when their days of activity are over, or for some day of necessity in the future when they will reap the reward of these slight self-denials. A COOL PROPOSITION. What Ice Will Do That Is Hung on Wires. Here's a puzzle for you to try one of these warm days when you have nothing else to do, because it is interesting. Take a water bucket and stretch across the top about three feet of iron wire as fine as the small- The Pail, Wires and Ice. est twine. Stretch the wire across the top of the pail to form a kind of bridge. Set the wire about two inches apart and lay a two-pound block of ice upon it, taking care that the ice does not touch the bucket. The ice will begin to melt and the water will drip into the pail. Presently the ice will seem to sink down as if the wires were cutting it into three pieces. In about half an hour, if you try to lift the ice, you will find the wires securely frozen in. The lump of ice will slip along the wires, but you cannot take it away from them, says Philadelphia Ledger. You can see the wires through the ice, but the sharpest penknife cannot find where they entered. There may be a line of silvery bubbles, showing where the wires passed, but the ice will be an unbroken piece. At last the wires will come out at the top, and the lump of ice, though partly melted away, will drop into the pail as whole as ever. The word of God is the key to the dictionary of life. OWN KITE.

Half a teaspoonful of table salt dissolved in a half glassful of cold water will give instant relief in case of heartburn. People with poor digestion should drink no water with meals, but take a glassful half an hour before and drink plenitiously an hour or so after each meal. To inhale steam from a bowl of boiling water is very good for a sore throat. The sufferer should lean over the steam, drawing it in both throat and nostrils. Many cases of indigestion, headache, neuralgia, cold hands and feet can be quickly cured by drinking slowly one or two pints of water so hot that it almost burns the throat. Warts may be entirely removed by washing the hands two or three times a day with the water in which potatoes have been boiled or by bathing the wart several times with potato water. If you are in need of it, try fresh cucumber as a comboion bleach. Get a little fruit press, the ordinary cheap kind, and press the juice out of the slices. Don't pare the cucumber before slicing it, but wash it thoroughly. No other preparation is necessary before slicing it. THOUGHTS. The unselfish man or woman is more angelic than the person who is merely lovely in form and feature. Sympathetic friends, sleep and sunshine are among God's greatest gifts to the hearts that have been wounded. Tell the "nice things" to people; they have enough to worry them. Laugh, and the world will laugh with you. Nothing is truer than that the people who are eternally clamoring for their rights are likely to grow careless and indifferent concerning their duties. No man has reached the end of his development as long as he continues to read new books, think new thoughts and undertake new projects. The whole world is divided into workers and shirkers, and the shirkers have settled down into the complacent belief that it is the business of the workers to carry all the heavy loads. If you find yourself pained when someone speaks generous words of praise concerning your brother, the thing for you to do is to make a prompt and thorough examination of your heart. FROM THE PENCIL'S POINT The larger the bluff the smaller it looks when called. Some people's troubles are enough to make others laugh. It is wonderful what a lot of kissing a little mouth can do. Some people derive a lot of satisfaction from their dissatisfactions. When it comes to underestimating himself a man seldom overdoes it. The babbling brook, like a babbling man, is unable to keep its mouth shut. In accounting for others the book-keeper does a little work on his own account.
