THE RICHMOND PLANET DR. THIRKIELD TAKES OFFICE. President Roosevelt Makes a Practical Address. NO REFERENCE TO THE BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR—PRAISE FOR THE NEGRO— MR. CARNEGIE'S WORDS OF CHEER—GREAT DEMONSTRATION AT WASHINGTON. VOLUME XXIV, NUMBER 51. DR. TH TAK President a Pract NO REFERENCE TO THE BRO MR. CARNEGIE'S STR Rev. Dr. Wilbur Patterson Thirkield, was yesterday installed as President of Howard University. The exercises were held in Rankin Memorial Chapel, on the university campus and picturesqueness was lent to the occasion by the multitude of academic robes and the red, green and purple hoods of honorary college degrees. The installation took place amid a distinguished gathering, which included Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States; James Bryce, British Ambassador; Andrew Carnegie, Rt. Rev. Henry Y. Satterlee, bishop of Washington; James R. Garfield, Secretary of the Interior; Dr. Elmer E. Brown, United States Commissioner of Education; Rev. Dr. William Ingraham Haven, of New York, District Commissioner MacFarland, many prominent members of the alumni of the institution, and representatives from more than forty other universities and schools of higher education. As the long academic procession of men all dressed in scholarship science, the various professions and the affairs of the world marched from the office of the president of the university to the ivy-clad chapel near by, it formed a galaxy of rich color and a picture of impressive solemnity which marked the importance of the occasion. MR. ROOSEVELT'S WELCOME The large chapel hall and the spacious platform were well filled with distinguished guests of the university when President Roosevelt, accompanied by Andrew Carnegie, arrived. The presence of the President was looked for, of the multimillionaire philanthropist was unexpected. The President was greeted with prolonged applause and Mr. Carnegie also came in for a share of the hearty welcome, which mahfistened itself in the waving of handkerchiefs as well as in the clapping of hands. The principal address of the afternoon was delivered by President Roosevelt. Mr. Carnegie's name did not appear on the programme, but his unexpected arrival was made the occasion of calling on him for a speech. Ambassador Bryce, Secretary Garfield, Commissioner of Education Brown, and Rev. Dr. John Brown, President of Gammon Theological Institute, Atlanta, Ga., were the other speakers. The inaugural address of Dr. Thriskield, in which he spoke of the aims and ideals of modern education and of the place and mission of Howard University in the higher life of a race was the last. PROGRESS OF THE RACE All the speakers emphasized the remarkable progress which the colored race has made in forty years since it has enjoyed freedom. President Roosevelt polated to the material gain which has been achieved by the race, a gain which, he declared to be an indispensable step and a long one, in building the structure of a higher life, which must have as a basis some material foundation. He said that he knew of no men from any college in the country who have heavier burdens to bear than the graduates of Howard University. He urged them to bear these buoyant and bravely. He spoke of the responsibility which they owe to their race throughout the country, and advised them strongly not to remain in Washington after graduation to secure a government position, but to go out into the small places, where their efforts will tell for the good of their race. Mr. Roosevelt spoke in particular of the excellent work which has been accomplished by the theological and medical graduates of the university, and said that the same applies to all the other departments of the institution. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S ADDRESS. President Roosevelt said, in part: own "During forty years, practically during the time that has elapsed since the emancipation proclamation the colored citizens of the United States have accumulated property, until now they have some $350,000,000 worth of taxable property in this country. During the same forty years they have been making for themselves homes, until now there are 500,000 homes owned and occupied by the colored citizens of our country. When a man and woman grow to acquire all certain amount of property, above all that they grow to own and occupy their own home, it is proof positive that they have made long strides forward along the path of good citizenship. The material basis is not everything, but it is an indispensable prerequisite to moving upward in the life of decent citizenship; and the colored man, when he acquires property, acquires a home, has taken that indispensable first step, and a long long step. MANY DIFFICULTIES TO FACE "Every graduate of an institution of learning who goes out into the world has many difficulties to face. Few have more difficulties to face than those who graduate from this Institution. You, graduates, know how much of hardship you had to encounter, how much you have had to draw upon all of the courage, and faith and resolution, and good temper that you had in you. I trust that each one of you here will realize the peculiar burden of responsibility that rests upon him, not only as an educated American citizen, but as an educated member of a race that is struggling upward toward higher and better things. The esteem that your fellow-citizens bear you, the way that they look upon you; the effects of education that feels itself in you, will in a large degree measure their belief in and regard for the colored race. You bear a great burden of responsibility upon your shoulders. I trust you will realize it, and that help will be given to you from on high to bear it well and worthily. I know of no men graduating from any college in the United States who have a heavier load of responsibility than you bear, and, after all, there is no greater privilege given to any man than to have such a load to carry, if only he carries it well. ADVICE TO MINISTERS "A minister needs to remember more than anyone else the truth of the Biblical saying that 'By your fruits shall men know you.' A minister needs to feel that it is incumbent upon him not merely to preach a high and yet a sane morality but to see that his life bears out his preaching in every minute detail. His position is one of peculiar leadership and therefore a peculiar weight of obligation attaches to it. Nothing can be more important for any people, or any race, than to have those members of that people or race who follow the profession of the ministry conduct themselves as to be a source of inspiration to their own flocks, and at the same time to win from the outside world a respect and esteem the effects of which will be felt not only by them, but by all their people. Important though it is that there should be a high standard of morality, a high standard of good citizenship among persons of every profession, it is most of all important that such should be the case among those who are to teach their fellows in the things of the soul. NEW MEDICOS SHOULD MIGRATE "I earnestly hope that the average graduate of your medical department will not stay around Washington; that he won't try to get into some government position; that he won't even go to some other large city. I want him to be a fellow-citizens of color in their own homes, and be to them not only RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1907 a healer of their bodies but a center for raising them in every part of their lives. I have been struck in traveling through the South to find how many colored doctors have gone into other business as well. Very naturally, frequently you will find that they own drug stores and I was struck by the esteem in which they were held, as a rule, by all of their neighbors, and by the evident fact that each such colored doctor who work well exercised a very perceptible influence in raising the standard of citizenship of all the colored citizens of the city in which he resided. I do not know a more effective bit of home missionary work than is being done in this way." When the President had finished his speech, Justice Job Barnard, president of the board of trustees of the university, the presiding officer, introduced Ambassador Bryce. MR. BRYCE'S GREETING "It is not unfitting," said Ambassador Bryce, "that I should be present on this occasion, representing as I do a country which has many colored people within its domains. We are all fellow-workers, and should be sympathetic fellow-workers, in the effort to recompense the colored man for the wrongs which have been done to him by the white race since that day nearly 30 years ago, when the first slave ship crossed the Atlantic." Mr. Bryce declared that patience and hope are the two words which must be kept constantly in mind in working out the colored race problem. He said that the progress sometimes seemed to be slow, but that the upward movement of the race had been much more rapid owing partly to the environment of an enlightened civilization—that of the Anglo-Saxon race, which lived for centuries in a savage state in the wilds of Western Europe. The Ambassador expressed his belief that higher academic education as well as industrial training, is needed for the colored race, so as to give the opportunity for developing the exceptional gifts which will be found in the possession by some members of the race. Loud was the applause when Justice Bernard called on the next speaker, Andrew Carnegie, Silencing the audience with a slight wave of the hand, Mr. Carnegie said that his presence seemed to him providential as he was totally unaware of the exercises to be held at Howard when he came to Washington. "DON'T WORRY," SAYS CARNE GIE. "This nation never failed to solve any problem placed before it," he said "and it will not fall in regard to the Negro problem. In fact, most of the problems about which anxious politicians," he added, turning to President Roosevelt and bowing gracefully, "worry, solve themselves. We try to settle problems a hundred years ahead of us, and long before that time the problems are gone. This nation will be revered for solving the problem of the "slaves that were, men, that are to be." Dont worry about the Negro." Commissioner of Education Brown spoke of the twofold nature of a university, as an institution of learning and of professional training. He declared that the best thing which science has to teach is a moral attitude toward truth, and that the best thing in professional training is likewise a moral attitude and choice. Secretary Garfield, under whose department the supervision of Howard University comes, declared that it is his desire to make closer the relation between his branch of the Federal Government and the institution of learning. He said that education has not received from the Federal Government the aid which it should have, and that the government has in this city, with its large colored population, a great opportunity for noble work. Rev. Dr. John W. E. Bowen spoke of the necessity of the higher education for the Negro so as to give him the ability to learn to think accurately, to appreciate the value of character and the true meaning of culture. DR. THIRKIELD'S INAUGURAL In his inaugural address, Rev. Dr. Thirkleid said that Howard University opens to any man of any race the chance to unfold the best and divinest in him, so far as broad educational opportunity is a help to this end. "Every man has in him values above all market price," said Dr. Thirkleid. "This is the democratic ideal. Democracy bears witness to the capacity of the downmost man. There are in American history numberless examples of the fact that the common man has stored up in him uncommon powers for highest life and service to man. Lincoln, Grant and Douglass are conspicuous examples. "This is the meaning of equality—not that every man in capacity is the equal of every other man, or that there is any such thing as equality of gifts and powers, for it is a truism that Liberty leads to inequality based on natural differences of capacity and application among men." It is rather that in democracy every man has a right to equality of opportunity, may claim equal right with every other man to a free unfoldment of all the powers and possibilities that are stored up in him; that there are diversities of gifts, but one spirit of freedom; that no artificial barrier shall be placed in the way of any man; that in civil life there shall be not a spirit of repression, but of broad and generous recognition. Howard University stands for just this. "The needs and claims of the Negro for such an education as will draw forth the entire man to his best is grounded in his humanity," he continued. "The demands of modern sociology are for a social consciousness that shall be characterized by a threefold conviction of essential likeness of men, of the mutual influence of men, and of the value and sacredness of the person." This means that all men should be sons of God and brothers of their fellow-men; that no race is left without witness of the divine in mental and moral capacity; that men are so bound up together that education must be for all, and that the personality of every man is sacred. For forty years strong, bravemen—men with courage equal to their lofty ideals for a race—have builted their thought and life into the professional schools of Howard University. Their graduates are now constructive helpers and healers of their fellow-men. These schools were nev er so crowded. The call for trained men was never so urgent. The demand now is imperative for larger equipment if the urgent needs of a race are to be answered. TWO HURT BY FALL Just before President Roosevelt reached the university chapel yesterday afternoon the cement flooring of the vestibule entrance to the chapel gave way and precipitated about fifty persons to the ground, ten feet below. It was at first thought many of these had been severely injured, and several were taken to Freedmen's Hospital close by. J. W. Cromwell, teacher in a public school, sustained an abrasion of the ankle and Thomas Auston, a student of the university was slightly injured. A temporary plank walk was put in place before the President arrived. The fortieth anniversary of the founding of the university was celebrated last night at the First Congregational Church. "In this city, where a larger Negro population is found in any other," said Commissioner MacFarland, "such an institution as Howard University is necessary, and recently it has rendered three public services. It has given a portion of its park for the new Freedmen's Hospital; it has raised fund of $32,000 for the new M. C. A. and it has given one of its faculty to start the new industrial school for Negro children at Blue Plains." Dr. Cornelius H. Patton, James C. Napier, Dr. George F. Miller and Dr. Roland Cotton Smith also delivered addresses. The university choir and the university orchestra furnished music for the occasion. The benediction was pronounced by Bishop Satterlee.

Anderson and her husband, Lee Anderson, who departed this life November 18, 1905 and April 14, 1903, respectively: "Dearest loved ones, thou art sleeping In the far off land above; Angels bending o'er and keeping Watch above the ones I love. "O. I miss thee; sadly miss thee, From thine own accustomed place; But there's comfort still in knowing I shall meet thee face to face.

Four flats, consisting of five rooms each, with hot and cold water porcelain bath, etc, have been erected at 517 N. Third Street by Mr. Keppler, (white) who lives on the Bolling Green Road. It is understood that they will be occupied by white tenants. The rental price is said to be $25 per flat or $100 per month for the entire brick dwelling. Special Thanksgiving Service at Fifth Street Baptist Church. Rev. Walter H. Brooks, D. D. of Washington, D. C., will preach a special Thanksgiving Sermon at the Fifth Street Baptist Church.

D. has about completed his three white brick tenement houses on Second Street between Clay and Leigh Streets. Tenants have occupied most of them. His own residence is as yet incomplete. It will be the finest residence owned by any colored person in the State. It is modern in every particular, three stories high and has a spacious stable in the rear. The lot on which it is built has a frontage of about forty feet. The house will have about 24 rooms exclusive of the basement. Mr. J. A. Lankford is the architect. Mr. Denny's Misfortune. Mr. W. F. Denny, his wife and family narrowly escaped a heavy loss by fire last Saturday night at their residence, 610 N. Third Street. As it was, neighbors observed smoke issuing from the building and saw a blaze in the hallway. A still alarm was turned in. When the investigation was made, the occupants were found to have been asleep. The chemical engine did the work and the flames were put out; although the larger engine, standing at the water plug was ready to do service. It is not known how the fire originated, but it had found its way in the plastering and had not a timely alarm been given the entire structure would have been in flames. The furniture was most damaged. POLLARD—HUNT. The marriage of Miss Josephine Hunt of Mt. Vernon, N. Y. to Mr. Frederick Pollard, formerly of Richmond, Va. but now residing at 254 Franklin Avenue, Mt.

Alexander Chiles against the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway company, the jury awarded the plaintiff damages in the sum of $100. At the openning of the morning session of the Fayette Circuit Court on yesterday, the $5,000 damage suit of J. Alexander Chiles, against the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway was taken up for trial. This suit is really an action to test the constitutionality of the separate coach laws of the State of Virginia. The history of the case in brief is as follows: The plaintiff, who is a colored man and a member of the Lexington Bar Association was on his way from this city to Old Point Comfort, Va., and was compelled to transfer to a coach set apart for colored passengers after passing the Virginia State line. The transfer actually took place at Goshen, fifty-one miles from the State line. The plaintiff maintains that the car into which he had to go was not in good condition in that it had been used as a smoking car, and that he was made sick by the odor. The plaintiff was represented by Col. John R. Allen as counsel in chief, while John T. Shelby had charge of the defense. As soon as the jury was selected, Colonel Allen began the opening statement for the plaintiff. His contempt that the car into which the plaintiff was transferred was dirty and inferior in every way to the coach provided for the white passengers, and had been used as a smoking car. Mr. Shelby in his opening statement maintained that the railway had a right to separate the passengers; that the accommodations were first class and that the car had been cleaned and aired at Clifton Forge. The entire morning session was devoted to the hearing of evidence much of this being in the form of depositions of the conductor, brakeman and other railway employees and the evidence in the Chiles' clock all the evidence in the Chiles' court, yet before the court, and Judge Parker excused the jury until 2:30 o'clock, at which hour the trial was resumed. AFTERNOON SESSION The entire afternoon session was devoted to hearing the testimony in the case, and the defense was not closed until 5 o'clock. Owing to the fact that Judge Parker had promised several of the jurors that they might be absent Thursday, it was decided to finish the case before adjournment, and the court retired at 5 o'clock to prepare the instructions to the jury. The charge which was in the usual form was read to the jury at 5:30 o'clock and Colonel Allen immediately began the argument for the plaintiff. His address, was comparatively brief and set forth the claim that his client had not been given the first class accommodations called for in his ticket. He maintained that Chiles was the sufferer thereby, and should be awarded damages as claimed. —Lexington Herald, Nov. 14. '07. ANOTHER SUIT TO BE FILED Chiles Preparing a Second Action Against Company.—Judgment Against Road Opens Way for Further Steps in Interesting Legal Proceedings. Attorney J. Alexander Chiles, colored, who obtained judgment in the Fayette Circuit Court against the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company, for the sum of $100, for alleged l-treatment by that company's servants has stated that he has another suit, of a similar nature, against the same company. The first suit he lost, the testimony as to the condition of the coach being more favorable to the company than in the case just tried. This latter case arose out of the first. Mr. Chiles alleges that he was returning home from a visit to Virginia where he had gone to take deposition in the original case, when the cause of the second arose. SEPARATE CAR NOT AN ISSUE. It should be understood that the question of separate cars for white and colored travelers by railroad is not an issue in the cases brought by Mr. Chiles. Col. John R. Allen, his attorney, stated to the jury that this was not an issue; that the separate coach law was a proper one and had come to stay. He insisted however, that when a colored man or woman paid first-class fare on a railroad he or she was entitled to first-class accommodation. It is not likely that the judgment of the Fayette Circuit Court from which there is no appeal, because the judgment is too small to admit of it, will cause the railroads to rad- PRICE, FIVE CENTS lically change their policy regarding colored passengers. They cannot, says a prominent railroad official, be given the same kind of a separate coach as the white people, because their patronage would not justify it. The car which the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company used has three compartments. One of them is used as a smoker for white people one as a day coach for colored people, and between them is a small compartment, used as a colored smoker. The one of which, Mr. Chiles complained, he says, consisted of one section of barge, one section for burgabe, one section for colored passengers and a compartment for smokers, but the passenger part was very unclean and the smoke in it made him ill. CONDITIONS MUST IMPROVE A number of respectable colored people have lately traveled from Lexington, by way of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, for whom the local agent of that road endeavored to make terms with the Pullman authorities at Louisville. By tactical management it was arranged that an entire Pullman or the greater part of it, was obtained for these passengers. There is a constantly recurring question arising about the Pullman car passenger business, in an endeavor to keep the races apart in residence to the Kentucky law. It is recognition that conditions regarding the colored race have changed. They have become largely more substantial citizens, travel more than formerly and for greater distances, and are in position to afford superior accommodations. They do not ask, however, to be permitted to ride in the same coaches with the white people. They are quite content, says one local colored man, of recognized respectability, to ride in separate coaches, but when they pay for first-class accommodations they are entitled to receive it. The railroads appear to recognize this truth and will doubtless make an effort to satisfy this demand, by putting the coaches for colored passengers in a cleanly and more sanitary condition. —Kentucky Evening Gazette, Nov. 14, 1907.

Scott Relates How "Dead" Man Sees Murderer Hung. The bit of civil war tragedy recently told by Capt. Foster in the Indianapolis Star calls afresh to the mind of Capt. A. M. Scott the incidents of a tragedy, during his war experience that reads more like the climax in a fiction story than actual history. "And yet I suppose there are hundreds," says Capt. Scott, "possibly thousands of people to-day who were eyewitnesses to at least the closing act in the tragedy or incident. Probably very few, if any, men in the world's history, after having been murdered, have been restored to life and lived to see their murderers brought to the scaffold for their crime, and yet this was done in this case. I talk from memory, and do not give exact dates. "In the summer or fall of 1863 that part of the union army under command of Gen. Fred Steel at Helena, Ark, started about Aug. 10 to march on Little Rock, the capital of Ar- They Were Waiting to See Him Make His Last Kick. kansas, and the then headquarters of the confederate forces in that part of the southwest. Before reaching Little Rock, Gen. Steel's forces joined with a strong division of cavalry under Gen. Davidson. "When Little Rock was reached, after some skirmish fighting, the federates promptly evacuated and our forces took possession of the effy and surrounding country, and later proceeded to go into winter quarters. After the farmers in the vicinity of our camp realized that the 'Yanks' had probably come to stay, many of them came into our lines and voluntarily took the oath of allegiance to the United States and took out what were termed "protection papers." "This was to protect them and their property from confiscation or Yankee foragers, and enabled them to sell the products of their farms to the soldiers at big prices, which they certainly did. "But unfortunately for this class of would-be loyal citizens, Arkansas at that time was, like Missouri, overrun by semi-organized bands of guerillas, or buswhackers, as they were usually called, who had no special respect for God or man when their own personal interests were to the front. These buswhackers had annoyed our troops all along the march from Helena, seldom coming out in the open to fight, but murdering every union soldier whom they caught straggling from his command. "They continued to shadow our picket lines, ambushing and murdering one or two prominent officers of our forces. They claimed to become very angry with those of their fellow citizens who had taken the oath of allegiance, and made a specialty of burning the houses and barns of those citizens, killing or driving off their stock, etc., and in every possible way annoyed these men who had taken the oath. "But they did not stop at the destruction of property, but took apparently a devilish delight in murdering the most prominent citizens of this class of traitors, as they were pleased to call them. "One day, I think in October, 1863, one of our picket guards came galloping into camp and reported that a band of bushwhackers (I think under a Capt. Jones), had just captured and hung a prominent farmer just outside our lines. The picket reported that one of the farmer's neighbors had seen the band going to his neighbor's home and, knowing this boded his neighbor no good, made all possible haste to cur lines and gave the alarm. "Fortunately a company of our cavalry was on duty near this point. They went out on the gallop, and arriving at the farmer's home in the nick of WE WILL HELP YOU TO OBTAIN A PREMIUM.

"They had taken the farmer out, put a rope around his neck and pulled him up high and dry, and were deliberately waiting to see him make his last kick, when our cavalry came down on them like a bolt from a clear sky. "Some eight gr ten of them were killed on the spot: some got away in the bushes or on their horses, and ten or a dozen were captured, among them Capt. Jones and his lieutenant of the band. "When the charge of our cavalry was made, someone cut down the suspended citizen. His neck was not broken and life was not extinct in his body. He was finally restored, and in a few days he was able to appear on the witness stand against his murderers. "The military authorities decided that drastic measures were necessary to break up this bushwhacker kind of warfare, and decided to make an example of the two officers who were leaders of the band. A military court-martial was organized. It did not take long to fill the jury in such cases. "The two prisoners were brought before the court and the prosecutor briefly stated the case. "No hypothetical questions were asked. The man who had been hanged swore positively that the prisoners were the men who had put the rope around his neck and helped pull him up. The prosecution soon rested and the defense had not much to say in rebuttal. "Without leaving their seats the jury promptly returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree and recommended that the prisoners be hanged by the neck until dead, dead, dead. "In a few days a gallows was erected on the commons near the city and our camp and the two men were publicly hanged in the presence of probably 10,000 citizens and soldiers. Everybody was invited; no ticket of admission was necessary. "That was the only 'necktie party' of the kind the writer ever sought to witness, and yet there was something in the conduct and death of the captain, or leader, of the outlaw band that to a degree commanded our admiration, for any soldier admires bravery, even in his foe. This man during his trial and at his execution showed no signs of fear. "I stood within 20 feet of him when he stood on the death trap, and he walked as deliberately and firmly up to the scaffold as if he was going up to make a speech to his friends. "When the executioner asked him if he had anything to say before the blackcap was pulled over his eyes, he promptly replied: 'No, sah.' He then took a quild of tobacco out of his mouth, threw it away, took a pick out of his vest pocket, picked his teeth, pushed his broad-brimmed hat back on his head and said to the executioner: 'I'm ready, sah.' "His companion was just the opposite. He had to be helped on to the scaffold, held up while the rope was being adjusted, and begged piteously for his life until the drop fell. Both men dropped about five feet, and it looked as if they rebounded about the same distance. "A shriek of horror went up from the assembled crowd, and dozens of women fainted. The captain's neck was broken and he died without a struggle, while the other man died in horrible struggles. "The hanging of these bushwhackers had a good effect, and that kind of guerrilla warfare was never so popular in the southwest after that, and I believe the confederate authorities afterward declared that the band of robbers thus broken up was never regularly in the confederate service. "Shortly after the incident recorded above a confederate spy was captured inside our lines at Little Rock. He had plans of our line of defenses, reports of our forces, etc. He was condemned as a spy, and was publicly hanged on the commons of the city. I think this occurred on the cold New Year's day, 1884." "The writer served on a military court-martial some six or eight weeks while in Arkansas, but was not on the juries that sont these three men to the gallows. Forty-odd years of peace has smoothed most of the wrinkles out of 'grim-visaged war,' but it can never efface the memory of those strenuous days from the minds of the old soldier." Fading Away of Our Heroes The American people ought to be interested in all that pertains to the survivors of the civil war, that most sanguinary conflict of modern times, if not of all times. The war ended 42 years ago, and the men who endured the burden and heat of the bitter days from 1861 to 1865 are getting fewer in number every year. Another quarter of a century and they will be but a memory. It is an article of belief among the Buddhists that one of the steps of salvation consists in right memory. It is certain that a nation is saved in no other way. The nation that forgets its heroes dies. "Such were your ancestors, O Athenaians," cried Demonsthenes, after an enumeration of their virtues in the famous oration that stirred his people to fight Philip of Macedon. The remaining veterans of the civil war teach us what our own people were 40 and more years ago, says the Detroit Free Press. Bravely and self-sacrificingly they went to the front, resolved that the government of the people, for the people and by the people should continue to be a power on the earth. Let them be held in everlasting remembrance! ```markdown ``` An Artist. "The man who painted that spurious picture was an artist, at all events." said the connoisseur.

SATURDAY. . NOVEMBER 23, °07. ee See eee aS marae be HON. JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS AND THE NEGRO. Teach me to feel another's wor To hide the fault 1 see E That mercy I to others show That mercy show to me.”—-Pope Hon. John Sharp Williams’ at sertation in the Metropolitan Maga ine for November gets more inter- eating as it is read and digested. In our last issue we spoke of his refer- ence to himself as “a good man, a believer in the divine philosophy of Jesus Christ.” Ho reouted the Idea of the extermination of the Negro Using the following language in so doing That thought is absolutely horri- ble to # good man, a bellever in the divine philosophy of Jesus Christ, who taught mutual helpfulness, and not mutual hatred to mankind. | The races might be fused by amnigama- tion—that fs unthinkable—and yet while the darky cannot be removed from the country, he can be grad- ually, though not suddenly scattered all over the country, thus relieving the congested racial condition in the cotton States, diminishing the ra- cial menace everywhere and carrying with the Negro himself a knowledge of the Negro problem to white men iu other parts of the Union, ‘The plan suggested ts not only practicable, but it is sensible as well. If the Negro children are sent North and brought up in conjunction with Northern vigor and ideas, we will have given a new birth to the race. On the other hand, it we distribute the loafers, the worthless, good-for- nothing, “working only when the money gives out” Negroes in that section, Mr. Williams’ object will have been attained and the citizens of color will have been fatally hhandi- capped. Mr. Williams has already discoun- ted the idea that the Negro as a whole is shiftiess and good-for-noth- ing for he says that fully ninety per cent. of the Negro race is behaving {tselt ag well as could be expected; it is at work in the fields; on the railroads, and in the saw mills. ‘This then emphasizes the state- ment of Mr. Andrew Carnegie In his address at the installation exercises at Howard University of Wasbing- ton, D.C. last week, when he declared that the real trouble with this coun- try was that it needed more Negroes. He evidently referred to that class which Hon. John Sharp Williams so pointedly describes. Mr. Williams says: ‘ ‘Negroes, out and white mon conse in, but we can, by wise Individual and State action, accele- rate it by bringing into the South desirable white immigrants, thus sub ‘the to an industrial Zompetition whtek wil require. him ° ree a effectual Ione han Ro ‘alse to “leave the chee ee ne Waetnee : remain or not remain laboring ‘element of the South. 1 say that that test has already been applied in the minds ‘of all intelligent men, that the fa 8 laborer on farm and in tastor has been welghed in the balance and found wanting. He feels it himselt and is seeking the cities. In the c¢l- es he does not reproduce his num- bers from one generation to another. ‘The net birth-rate of the race there is not equal to Its death-rate. God's Jaw of evolution, the survival of the fittest and the extinction of the un- fit, is operating. The birth-rate of the Negro everywhere is decreasing very materially, as every observant | Southerner will tell you. |tne evolution of God's law, why |should Mr. Williams and his follow. Jers worry about transporting |them either to Africa or to any jother portion of the United States? Mr. Williams says that the action of |the darky in leaving the farm and seeking the citles Is caused by the fact that he has been weighed in the dalance and found wanting. What | then is the cause of white men doing the same thing? | Does he not know that throughout | the Southland for miles, one can see deserted mansions and abandoned |plantations? Many of these are in |the hands of the Negroes who for- |merly served their masters there in the capacity of slaves | Mr. Willams seems worried about the birth-rate, We are of the opin- ion that its decrease is not due to any lack of activity on the part of |the white men who have been stu- | diously endeavoring to “raise up mu- latto children unto Abraham.” If it is ‘caused by their abandonment of the old field of tmmorality, it will be a ‘cause for rejoicing rather than the reason for a walling, weeping and the gnashing of teeth. Our Saviour jexhorted us to rejoice at the out- going and sorrow at the incoming. — Mr, Williams should not forget too. that such high authority as Presi- dent Roosevelt charged the people in ‘this country with race sufetde and ‘has taken steps to encourage women to become mothers realizing that both races wero learning white folks’ jsense In this jarticular and that dras- jtle measures must be taken to pre- ‘Vent the extinction of the race so to speak. The Negroes are leaving the farms because they receive better pay in the cities ana on the rall- fends” Mr, “Witham. porns the Aiscussion further. He says: | te eptoens ae woe planter in Sunflower County, Miasis- sippl, that upon plantations where from’ a certain number of women there used to be nineteen or twenty [little pickaninnies running around, [there are now only eight or nine or ten. This has come about largely are very poor mothers—careless and junintelligent. Under the. regime of slavery they had to be good mothers —were, in the Interest of their mas- ters, forced to be—and those who acquired their habits then continued to be reasonably good mothers after Bae Nearly all of the old slavery mothers have died however, and the new ones have been left to their natural instincts, without any control by the white race. | And yet, Mr. Williams, what we have lost in ignorance we have gain- <a in igtelligence. We have suf- fered in quantity, but we are joyous in quality. We have accumulated weaich which Mr. Roosevelt estimates to be ($350,000,000) three hundred and fifty million dollars and which we estimate to be ($70,000,000) seven hundred million dollars, but Mr. Roosevelt is President and his figures will De accepted as otteialty correct. We had the pickaninnies before the war, but they meant mon- ey to the white folks and trouble to} the Negroes, Now, we have picka- ninnies, but not so many of them, and they mean trouble to the white folks and happiness to the Negroes. Do you think, Mr. (Williams hat] your logic would cause us to wish for the old times? Not much. ‘We are more valuable to the coun-| try as a freeman than we were to the nation asa slave. Statistics show that the Negroes in this coun- try are adding six hundred million Wollars to the wealth of the country; by their producing power alone. A vast proportion of the souls born into the world die before they are five years of age. Among the Ne- groes the death-rate of children i der five has increased fearfully in contrast with whet it was in slavery times. The general death-rate a- mong them in the cities is about double that of the white race. This 4s true not only in the cities, but in the country as well.

This would be not merely a work of patriotism, Bat tt could be made to work a profit as ‘well, because the constant reinvest [ment of the money in other lands |and their sate would amount to com- {rounding the Interest, and would [result in good dividends. 1 would Jbring these men in, if T could, first | trom the Southern border States—' Kentucky, Missouri, Virginia, Mary- jland and Delaware—where the peo- ple understand our ideas of the Tace | tase. | "T would then bring them in from |the border States of the North—dill- nols, Indiana, Ohio, lowa—where they’ are besinning to understand It.

Speaking along thia line, the Atlanta, Georgia Cot- ton Journal which publication ranks among the ablest in the South and holds the financial prosperity of this tection above ali else in its issue of October 31, 1907 sald: “The rapldity with which industrial and agricultural development is fors- ing ahead in the United States along all lines, has caused many people to| warmiy advocate the wholesale tm-| portation of foreign immigration in-| to this country for the prime and| single purpose of retieving the heavy’ demand for labor, and to increase the outpmt of farms, factories and other euterprises. But there is much to be considered in connection with the importation of foreign. Immi- grants Into this country. aside from! the mere surface standpoint of labor. The most serious question to consider Is whether, from the stand- point of Americans, and. the proper| appreciation of the value of our coun| uy, ts government, social relations and form of religion, it is best to open the doors of the United States to all nations, or whether we had not best call a halt and be content with what we have. The idea of many "who are striving to develop the whole country In one generation as a means to increase the opportun- ites for commercial greed and In- dividual wealth ts not only wrong In principle, but it is unjust to tas ture generations of Americans yet unborn. “The United States is the young- est of all civilized countries, and from {ts present pppulation, ‘is In- creasing by leaps and bounds, as "5 other country in the world is doin. Taking the countries of Europe and Asia, with thelr present dense pop- viations, we find everywhere thous- ands upon thousands of human be-| ings who are either paupers upon the charity of the people, or who can searcely earn enough bread each day to keep them alive. Knowing these facts to be true, the government and the people of the United States| should endeavor to keep that cond!- tion of affairs off into the futare, 80 far as this country is concerned, as far as possible, “And yet, if the United States {s| to become the dumping ground for| every nation of the world to dis-| charge thelr surplus and_ congested| populations, the time will not de| many years distant until America will be in practically the same posl- tion as the Old World, and with a| population of as many’ races as all the balanee “of the world com-| bined.”” ‘And again: “It may not be generally known| as a fact that only 12 per cent. of| the present births in the city “of New York are native born. the balance being foreign.

In other words, out of each one hundred thousand ba- ‘bies born in New York, eighty-clght thousand have parents who are for cigners, and only twelve thousand can claim parents of true Americans. There are more Jews in the city of New York to-day than there are o that race in the City of Jerusalem ‘There are more Ttallans to-day. in the city of New York than there are of that race in the great city of Rome Italy. And still these foreigner Jcome at the rate of more than mil lion a year, ever increasing and seem inly without end. “A foreigner lands in the port of New York every minute and a halt the year round. Since the dawn of the twentieth century, or the year 1900, there have poured into this country from foreign nations nearly seven million immigrants, of one- twelfth the entire population of the United States. In the past sx years there have been more immigrants landed in this country than the en- tire population of New York City, the second largest city in the world. We have had enough immigrants in ‘the last six years to-give us nearly three times the population of Geor- Sia, twige the population of Texas, population of the South and more than the combined popu- jation of the fifteen States of Arizona Colorado,” Delaware, Idaho, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, North andSouth ‘Dakota, Rhode Is- land Washington, Wyoming and Just think of tt, and then tink, t00, of the iillious more to in duting the next de- cade if tae “open door” policy is coutinued.” Here is more of It: SENATOR TILLMAN IN WISCON SIN. Senator 8, R. Tillman continues his trades against the Negro and is engaged in the attempt to bring that section of the-country around to tls way of thinking. ‘The newspaper as- rociations ro longer take him sertous Iy and all reterences to him or his ad- dresses are confined to the immed- fate vicinities where his crude logic and inconsiderate utterances have been weiged and digested by those who went ‘o hear him, If we are to judge by the columns of the Milwaukee Sentinel of Novem- ber 11th, 1907, it would seem that he is succeeding In convincing the conservative eftizens of the North that he is not only wrong, but that he fs no gentleman. The Senator's treatment of Chicago's Mayor, when he delivered an anti-Negro speech in teat city would kars convinced most anybody the same way. Here is the hess the Milwaukee sentinel puts it: Senator ‘Tiltman 4s a picturesque personality, strong, honest, blunt and intense, but ft is only by stretching the meaning of the =e that he cat, be called a gentleman,” said the Rev. Charles H. Beale at Grand Avenue Congregational Church last aight in Lis answer to the address mado last week by Senator Tillman at the Pabst Theatre under the aus- plees of Mr. Beale’s church. “Mr. Tillman is a monomaniac on ‘white supremacy.” When he talks about other thingy he 4s fatrly reasonable Dut raves whon he touches this. He says that It is settled beyond recall {in the South, yet It is the one article Of his polilicsl resd and be is ‘willing to vote for any platforin and for any man in the way of a candidate sc long as he registers nis vote fo: white supremacy.” ‘This Is the Senator's position ex- actly. Such = mau left unrestrained and given “full swing” in the af. fairs of this government would wreck it on short notice. And again: to invoke and execute. Rev. Beale says: . “Tillman gives only one side ot ‘the question. ‘There are hundreds of thousands of intelligent, virtuous ioauatrial Negroge and this number is increased by ‘pouring out of colleges, universities and industrial ‘schools. We may agree with Sena- tor Tilman that the-whites will nev- er be ruled by the blacks and there is no danger any more that they will, but it should be said to the colored race that just as soon as they show themselves possessed of the necessary qualifications, they should share the privileges and responsibilities of or- ganized society. “There are many fair-minded men in the South, who believe and say this, and who are working with the Negroes and with Northern philan- thropists to give the colored people the best possible advantages. When the present period of reaction and readjustment is over, the patriotic people of the South will follow the lead of Gov. Northern and Booke: Washington, rather than that of ‘Tillman and Vardaman, and. the christian education will solve this as it does many other problems. “Three things will probably hap- pen in the future. Stringent vagran cy laws wilt be passed and in some places vigilent patrol will hold in check the vicious and criminal; the introduction of foreign immigration will drive the lazy and shiftiess to ‘the wall and finally eliminate them in the great struggle for existence, Those who are capable of develop- ment will be given an opportunity to make for themselves an onorable place with participation in the af- fairs of the community and in aa matter affecting thelr race.” Rey. Beale’s summary is all that we could hope or expect and we agree with him, These, utterances show that he understands the situation ev- en better than does Senator Titman and It fs fortunate for us that Sena- tor Titman spoke there and more fortunate for the country that this distinguished theologian supplement- ed his remarks with the truth, with reference to the Southland.

MEASURES OF RELIEF Government to Issue Bonds For $150,000,000. ~ TO PAY FOR PANAMA CANAL WORK, Roosevelt's Letter to Secretary of the ‘Treasury Cortelyou Says That Country's Finances Are om a inte and Gene” Basie. __ WASHINGTON, Noy. 20—Secretary Cortelyou, with the approval of the president, has announced an issue of Panama bonds to the extent of $50,- 000,000. ‘The treasury will also Issue interest bearing certificates of indebtedness, to run for one year, to the extent if necessary of $100,000,000. This action is the result of the series of many ‘night conferences at the White House. Fifty million dollars of the certif- cates Will be allotted by the secretary in his discretion upon offers of sub- stone addressed to him, and the remaining $50,000,000 will be allotted ‘through the several assistant treas- urers authorized to receive subserip- ‘tions at the following points: San Francisco, New Orieans, St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Boston, Bal- timore, Philadelphia and New York and through the treasurer of the Unit- ed States at Washington. It is expected that this will enable the government to tempt from thelr hiding places millions of dollars which have been hoarded by persons distrust- ful even of national banks. In a letter to Secretary Cortelyou President Roosevelt says: “What 1s most needed just at pres- ent is that our citizens should realize how fundamentally sound business ‘conditions in this country are and how absurd it 1s to permit themselves to ‘get into a panic and create a stringen- cy by hoarding thelr sayings instead of trusting perfectly sound banks. “there is no particle of risk involved in Jetting business take its natural course, and the people can help them- selves and the country most by put- ting back into active circulation the money they are hoarding. The banks and trust companies are solvent. There is more currency In the country today than there was a month ago, when the supply was ample. Over $55,000,000 has been imported, and’ the govern- ment has deposited another $60,000,000. ‘These are facts, and I appeal to the Public to co-operate with us In restor- ing normal busiaess conditions, “The government will wee that the People do not suffer if only the peo- ple themselves will act In a nofmal way. Crops are good and business conditions are sound, and we should put the money we have into circula- tion in order to meet the needs of abounding prosperity.” ‘The treasury circular inviting pro- posals for Panama canal bonds reads as follows: “The secretary of the treasury offers to the public $50,000,000 of the bonds of the Panama canal loan. “The bonds will bear interest at the rate of 2 per cent per annum, will be uted Aug. 1, 1906, and the interest will be paid quarterly on the first days of November, February, May and Au- gust, They will be lasued in denom!- nations of $20, $100 and $1,000 of cou- pon bonds and of $20, $100, $1,000 and $10,000 of registered bonds, “They will be redeemable in United States gold coin at the pleasure of the United Siates after ten years from the date of their issue and will be payable thirty years from such date. “They will be exempt from all taxes or duties of the United States as well as from taxation in any form by oF under state, municipal or local authort- ty.

Underwood a Suicide From Worry Over Financial Affairs REDDING, Conn., Nov. 20.-Because of worry over large losses in Wall street recently Professor Lucien M. Underwood committed suicide at his country home here and severely cutting his wife's throat and attempting to kill their daughter. Mr. Underwood was professor of botany at Columbia university and was chairman of the board of scientific directors of the New York Botanical garden. Until recently Professor Underwood had been a man of quiet disposition, who was devoted to his home and his wife and daughter. When the recent financial flurry began, however, he became intensely nervous and had suffered from insomnia for weeks. Mrs. Underwood was unable to shake him out of an intense depression he showed. Mr. Underwood was particularly nervous at the dinner table, and his wife was alarmed. He suddenly picked up a small sharp knife, jumped to his wife's side and slashed at her, making a gash from the middle of her neck to the right ear. He then turned on their daughter, who was recently graduated from Cornell, and tried to cut her. Mrs. Underwood, despite her wound, rushed between them and knocked up the knife. It almost severed one of her fingers as she did so. Physicians from Danbury and Bethel were summoned by telephone, but Professor Underwood was dead long before they arrived. They found that Mrs. Underwood was badly wounded, but said she probably would recover. That his fortune had not been swept away by the recent financial disturbance and that he had been only laboring under a misapprehension is the statement made by a member of the family of Professor Underwood. Shook Manila Opera House. MANILA, Nov. 19. — Four sharp earthquake shocks were felt in Manila and surrounding provinces on the night of Nov. 16 and the morning of Nov. 17.

A panic was averted by the presence of mind of the governor general, who rose in his box and commanded the people, who had already arisen, to sit down. The orchestra stopped playing, but the actors continued, being undisturbed, and the audience quickly calmed down.

The method of settlement is that employed all through the Bible, of laying down general principles, and not definite rules and commands. For the principles abide eternally, but the application of them varies continually. We have no trouble whatever about some of the questions which almost rent the ancient church asunder. They were settled long ago. But we must apply the same principles to our modern problems. The application of great divine principles to our daily lives in varying circumstances is a large part of the discipline by which we grow in grace and develop a strong and holy character. First. The Law of Liberty.—V. 12; 1 Cor. 8:9; 10:29; Gal. 2:4. V. 12. "So then." As a conclusion from what Paul had been saying: "Every one of us shall give account of himself to God." Each is responsible to God and must act as in his sight. No one can lord it over his brother in the Christian church. Each one must define his duty so far as concerns himself. Liberty does not prevent any one from holding decided opinions, and speaking of them, and arguing for them. Liberty is not indifference. Permitting liberty does not endorse all that is permitted. Second—Vs. 12, 22, 23. "The fullest freedom must be balanced by the fullest sense of responsibility to God."—Expositor's Greek Testament. "For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ" (v. 10). V. 22. "Hast thou faith?" Do you really believe that what you are doing is right and approved by God? "Have it to thyself before God." Rejice in this liberty of yours in the presence of the Father. "We still keep this joy and strength of liberty even when for love's sake we forego the particular acts from which, if we considered only ourselves and God, we should not be debarred."—Lyman Abbott. "Happy is he that condemneth not himself," who is so convinced that his course is right that his conscience never condemns him, even when he "sits alone with his conscience" amid the manifestations of God's power. V. 23. "He that doubteth: " Is unsettled in his conscience as to what is right for himself. Abbott translates, "He that disputeth with himself." "Is damned," is condemned, the usual meaning of the Greek word. He has no right to do an act which he feels may injure others. "Whatsoever is not of faith is sin." "All that a man cannot remembering that he is Christ's—all that he cannot do with the judgment seat (v. 10) and the cross (v. 15) and all their restraints and inspirations present to his mind—is sin." Third. Toward such persons we are forbidden to have either a censorious or a contemptuous estimate of their character. V. 13. "Let us not therefore judge one another," not condemn those who honestly do not see things as we do. We must allow others the same liberty we ask for ourselves. Condemning as unchristian others who honestly differ from us may be quite as great a sin as that of the one condemned. But Note (1) that this does not require one to refrain from arguing against any course as injurious. (2) That the principal does not mean that we should never do anything which others do not like, at which they take offense, or with which they find fault. Nor that in any case should we yield in a duty or a teaching, because some may stumble even over the truth. Even Christ could not so act that none took敌痛. Paul could not. Fourth.-Vs. 13-16. V. 13.

BANQUET THE KAISER German Emperor Recalls Happy Days at Window Castle WINDSOR, England, Nov. 13.—In the historic hall of St. George at Windsor castle King Edward and Queen Alexandra gave a state banquet last night in honor of the German kaiser, the empress and many other notables. The hall, which for centuries has been associated with the Order of the Garter, was decorated with the banners of the principal knights of the order, while the tables were adorned with the famous golden plate, one of the great heirlooms of the sovereigns of England. King Edward proposed the health of Emperor William, who made acknowledgment in a short speech, closing with a toast to the English king. Emperor William alluded gracefully to his happy childhood under the roof and within the walls of grand old Windsor castle, and he expressed the earnest wish that the close relationship existing between the two royal families should be reflected in the relations of the two countries and thus aid the peace of the world, which he said, was the constant endeavor of King Edward and himself. Professor Sir Felix Semon, physician extraordinary to King Edward, a noted throat specialist, was a visitor at the castle and, it is said, examined the German emperor's throat. "IN GOD WE TRUST." Church Entera Protest Against Dropping Motto From Coins. NEW YORK, Nov. 13. — Protest against dropping the words "In God We Trust" from the new gold eagle was made by the Rev. William J. Peck, pastor of the Union Presbyterian church of Corona, N. Y., at the meeting of Presbyterian ministers in the Presbyterian building at 156 Fifth avenue. In speaking in favor of a resolution Mr. Peck said it looked as if the nation was beginning to put its trust in banks and trust companies instead of in God, and he suggested that the recent financial stress might be traced to forgetfulness of God. Clergymen of other denominations emphatically indorsed Mr. Peck's sentiments. The motto "In God We Trust" on our colns" said the Rev. Dr. Ernest M. Stires, rector of St. Thomas' Episcopal church. Fifth avenue and Fifth-third street, "stands for religion and patriotism, and there should be mighty weighty reasons for its withdrawal. I should like to know what actuated the people in Washington. KAISER DECORATES HIM Captain Polack Rewarded For Bringing In Crippled Liner. BREMEN, Nov. 13.—Emperor William has conferred the crown order of the third class on Captain Polack for steering the North German Lloyd line steamer Kalser Wilhelm der Grosse to Bremen without her rudder. The Kalser Wilhelm der Grosse after leaving New York Oct. 22 lost her rudder off the Newfoundland banks Oct. 25. Under the directions of Captain Polack, who remained almost all the time on the bridge and did not sleep until the vessel, which was steered by her twin propellers, reached the English channel, the Kalser Wilhelm der Grosse made Plymouth safely Oct. 20, Cherbourg the same evening and Bremen Oct. 30 without assistance. Troley Car Kills Oil Trust Official. NEW YORK, Nov. 13—Edward W. Johnson, assistant superintendent of the Standard Oil works at Bayonne N.

The company, whose liabilities are $1,000,000 and assets $900,000, was placed in the hands of receivers shortly after the San Francisco disaster. PASSED AS A MAN. Miss Catherine Vosbaugh Dies at Trinidad (Colo.) Hospital. TRINIDAD, Colo., Nov. 13. — Miss Catherine Vosbaugh, who for nearly sixty years passed as a man, died at the hospital here yesterday. Miss Vosbaugh was born in France eighty-three years ago. When a young woman she found it difficult to make her way on account of her sex. Adopting men's clothes, she obtained employment as a bookkeeper in Joplin, Mo. This position she held for nine years and then accepted a position in a St. Joseph (Mo.) bank. While in St. Joseph she married a woman with whom she lived for thirty years as Charles Vosbaugh. The two women as man and wife came to Trinidad two years ago. After the death of the "wife" Miss Vosbaugh worked in various capacities until she became so feeble that last year she was taken to a hospital. It was then that her sex was discovered. Even after her recovery she refused to change her clothing and continued to wear her masculine habiliments to the end. --- Campbell a Candidate For Senate.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. THE Castle of Lies. naps at the entreaty of this Madame de Varnier?" "The entreaty is clear enough. I should think—she must have left the door of the safe open." Helena spoke confidently, but trust in me had been put to a sore test. "Your credulity is very great if you think that. Why, madam, I saw him deliberately work the combination of the safe." Helena uttered a cry of horror at my supposed treachery. Her trust was shattered. "I could not dream of a villainy so hypocritical." Instinctively she came close to Forbes' side as if for protection. She had read in my eyes that Forbes spoke the truth. No words of mine could convince her now of my sincerity. Madame de Varnier had been quite forgotten by us all. Until now she had been listening in breathless silence. Forbes' declaration that I had taken the papers must have seemed to her the shearest absurdity. She had been certain that she had locked the safe; she was equally certain that no one but herself knew the word by which it might be opened. She must have thought, too, that my tacit confession of taking the papers was a ruse to deceive her, though she could not guess its purpose. But when Captain Forbes asserted with evident sincerity that he had seen me working the combination her anxiety became unendurable. At the risk of being surprised at the safe, she had stolen quietly to the room, thinking herself unobserved. But through our backs had been turned from the room, I had seen her movement by her shadow cast on the floor by the setting sun pouring in the open window through which Captain Forbes had made his entrance. I clutched the arm of the king's messenger; I made an imperious gesture "Take it!" She Screamed. "Take it!" for caution and silence. I pointed to Madame de Varnier disappearing into the little room of the safe. With a motion incredibly light for so heavy a man Forbes tiptoed after her, and watched her open the safe through the half-closed door. It was only a question of instants before she had thrown open the door of the safe with a cry of dismay. But that instant sufficed. As Forbes turned his back to me I took swiftly from my pocket the two packets. One envelope was plain, with no writing on it. The other was addressed to Sir Mortimer Brett and bore a foreign stamp. No word was spoken. I had but to hold the two packets before Helena. In an instant she had hidden in the bosom of her dress the first packet I have mentioned, whose envelope was plain; the other I returned to my pocket. Madame de Varnier sprang to her feet with the lineness of a tigress. She came toward me as I stood by Forbes' side with a rage that was dreadful in its intensity. Before I could guess at her purpose she had torn my coat open and seized the packet I had placed there. She pressed it into Forbes' hand. Her bitter rage and disappointment made her oblivious of the fact that she had given only one of the packets. "Take it!" she screamed. "Take it! Ah, M. Coward, you are clever, but it shall avail you nothing. At least I shall have my revenge." Forbes buttoned his coat over the papers he had received with an amazed but grim satisfaction. Helena, standing apart from us, was convulsively clenching and unclenching her hands. Unseen by the other two, I cast her a meaning glance that she should exert her strong will to regain her poise. When they looked at her she stood passive and acquiescent. As for myself, I affected an air of chagrin and defeat. 4 "You will bear me witness, Miss Brett, that I did my best to place the packet in your hand. I can only hope that Captain Forbes will restore you those papers without reading them, or that they are of little importance." "Little importance!" hissed Madame de Varnier. "Sir, guard those papers well; your ministers at Downing street will not thank you if you lose them. And now, M. Coward, that you have conquered me, but not robbed me of my revenge, how much longer are we to stay here?" Captain Forbes showed little surprise at the turn affairs had taken. He interpreted Madame de Varnier's move as that of one who had betrayed a confederate for motives of revenge. While he recognized the fact, he mistook the motive. "And they speak of honor among thieves!" he sneered in an aside to Helena. I feared that Helena might make an indignant protest. But she said nothing. I supposed her silence dictated by prudence; this was no time Knights of Pythias, This organization is one of the most powerful in the country and its progress has been phenomenal.

But as I looked at her I read her perplexity in her troubled eyes. I had given her back the papers indeed, but that I should have known the combination was too startling a fact to be accepted without distrust. I could have known the combination only from Madame de Varnier; that proved to me to have been in her confidence. If I had repented and betrayed my accomplice in my remorse, she was grateful for the act itself, but she could no longer trust me. "As this woman says," Forbes was speaking to me, "there is nothing to detain us here longer. But you, sir, as well as this woman, will leave this room only to be placed under arrest. You must consider yourself my prisoner." With these words he strode toward the door of the staircase, and turned the handle. "It is locked," he said sternly. "Who has the key?" I handed it to him in silence. As he received it from me he glanced meaningly toward Helena. It was one more link in the chain of evidence. I confess I could have wished the key had not been in my pocket. He turned the key. To the consternation of all of us the door still resisted his efforts. He exerted all his strength to no purpose. "What new trick is this?" he demanded furiously of me. "I think." it was to Madame de Varnier I answered, "that Dr. Starva has taken the precaution of insuring himself a free field."

THE PLANET SATURDAY...NOVEMBER 23, '07 GIRL VICTIM OF BRUTAL MISTRESS SERVANT RULED BY HYPNOTIC INFLUENCE AND FRIGHT- FULLY TORTURED. HAIR TORN OUT IN BUNCHES Suffers from Nervous Collapse as Result of Cruel Treatment—Finally Makes Her Escape and Brings Suit for Damages. Bangor, Me.—"One of the strangest cases ever tried in a Maine court," is what a well known Bangor attorney says of the case of Look vs. Guilford, just settled, in which the plaintiff secured a verdict of $404.56 for personal injuries inflicted on her by her employer. Hymotic influence played a prominent part throughout it, the plaintiff claiming that for four months she was absolutely under the control of the mind of the woman by whom she was employed. Several months ago Miss Annie M. Look, who had a brother living in this city, came here suffering from nervous collapse, alleged to be the result of abuse heaped on her by her employer, Mrs. Guilford, in Fallfield. Her relation of the experiences she underwent in the Guillford home were so incredible that they were hardly believed at first, but when she showed the proof, and brought Fairfield people to substantiate so far as outsiders could, certain features of her treatment. It was decided to bring action against the woman who, under guise of illness, had apparently inflicted such cruel punishment upon her servant. At the trial the girl testified that for four months she had been absolutely dominated by the mind of her mistress, who had kept her on the rack day and night, requiring her to come to the bedside and kneel while she tore out the hair of the girl in bunches, hair which is just beginning to come again after the lapse of months; how she scratched her face till the blood came; sow she tore and punched the girl's hands and arms with the sharp point of a nail file. So completely was this girl said to be under her control that Mrs. Guilford's merest whim was a command to be obeyed instantly, and for weeks the frightened servant was not allowed to undress or take a night's sleep, her only rest is secured in brief snatches when she could drop on to a couch or bed with her clothes on. Neighbors testified that they frequently stood outside in the road and heard Mrs. Guilford raving at the girl. William Tore Out the Hair of the Girl in Bunches. Washing floors at any time at night when the whim seized her employer, attending her bedside and tortured until she was too exhausted to make any protest, the girl says she at last began to fear that she would never escape from that house alive, and in desperation seized upon an opportunity, when she had been sent out of the house on an errand, to seek protection at a neighbor's home. She was sheltered and cared for, her brushed hands and arms, face and hair attended to and her few belongings secured from the house which had been her prison for months. As soon as she was in condition to travel she was brought to Bangor, where Dr. McCurdy attended her, and found that, while he did not diagnose her case as one of hypnotic effect, he did decide that she had been for a long period under a severe mental strain that had serious consequences on her mind and health. Mrs. Guilford was unable to appear in the Skowhegan court to fight the case, but entered a general denial and argued the impossibility of a woman so bedridden as she appears to be to have committed any such acts as claimed. Living in Old Town was a young woman named Pearl Griffin, alleged to have been a previous victim of Mrs. Gullford's curious temper, who tells the same story of ill treatment and abuse as does Miss Look, while since the latter left her employer she has received a letter from a third young woman, living in New Hampshire, who said she felt glad to escape from the Guilford house with her life in about the same condition of physical wreck and mental disturbance as was Miss Look. SURGICAL OPERATION MAKES BOY A THIEF SURGICAL OPERATION MAKES BOY A THIEF Two Hundred Burglarious Crimes Charged to Fourteen-Year-Old Youth. New York.—Entirely calm, Edward Bridgeman, 14 years old, confessed the other day that he has committed 200 robberies since August 5 last—say about four a day on the average. Young Bridgeman said, too, that he always "worked" in daylight and passed his nights with his parents at home on Ralph avenue, Brooklyn. This explains why his mother, utterly ignorant of his wrongdoing, protested that "Edward is a good boy." The most industrious young thief has been in the hands of the Brooklyn Children's society. The society's agents say they believe he is mentally unbalanced. They do not call him a kleptomaniac; they think he has never CAFE Caught the Youth Pawning the Loot. recovered from a surgical operation that was performed on him, and that it is this that makes him steal. Bridgeman was arrested on August 5, Frederie. B. Hyde of McDonough street, Brooklyn, charged the boy with stealing some silver spoons and a violin. Patrolman Farrell caught the youth pawning the loot. Judge O'Keefe found him guilty and paroled him in custody of a probationary officer. Then Bridgeman said he "got busy" and kept busy until he entered Abraham Rosenblum's house on Forty-sixth street, and stole numerous articles. The boy pleaded guilty in the children's court, and then, with some pride, recounted his record "double century" of burglarious enterprises. Judge O'Keefe sent Bridgeman to the house of refuge. The Brooklyn police are inclined to doubt the boy's story, but only because they have no record of his robberies. DEALT DEATH TO TWO Mine Boss, Fatally Injured, Sells His Life Dearly. Pittsburg, Kan.-At Croweberg, a new mining camp in the northern part of this county, two persons were killed and two fatally wounded, the result of a grudge held by the Italian miners of the district against a mine boss. Charles Gardner, a mine boss, and his sister, Mrs. George Rexford, were waylaid on a lonely road while returning home by a number of italians and shot and fatally wounded. Gardner returned the fire and killed two italians, names unknown. The Italians are believed to have been drinking. They attacked Gardner and his sister without warning, firing upon them in the dark. The first bullet struck Gardner on the point of the chin, glanced and entered the breast, lodging in the lungs. At almost the same moment Mrs. Rexford was shot in the small of the back. They fell to the ground together. The Italians started to run immediately after firing, but before they had gotten out of reach Gardner had recovered sufficiently to raise himself upon his elbow and fire upon them. Two of the Italians were struck by Gardner's bullets, and fell dead in their tracks. The Italians endeavored to carry off their dead, but were compelled finally to desert them to escape. A number of Americans, attracted by the shots, asisted Gardner and his sister to this city, where they were placed in the Mount Carmel hospital. No hope is entertained for their recovery. Mother Strangles Three Babes. Buffalo, N. Y.—Mrs. Bertha Mund, 37 years old, strangled her three children (Christopher, aged eight years; Helen, aged two years, and Freda, aged eight months) to death while they were sleeping at their home, in Clinton street. After committing the deed she went to the Pennsylvania railroad yards where her husband, Frederick Mund, is employed as a member of a wrecking crew, and informed him of her action. Mrs. Mund was placed under arrest. The police say the woman does not realize the enormity of her crime and that she killed the children while suf- fering with a sudden attack of insanity.

Prince Winning German Balloon, With Cargo of Six Voyaging Through Space, Spies Out Our Fortifications. NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—In the Pommern, the German balloon which won the international aeronautic race from St. Louis last month, Dr. Julian P. Thomas, who is still on crutches from an automobile accident, and five other passengers made a journey through the air from Philadelphia, landing in New York at One Hundred and Seventy-fifth street and Westchester avenue. It was one of the most successful and interesting ascents made by any member of the Aero Club of America, and Dr. Thomas and his guests were enthusiastic in their descriptions of the beautiful spectacles they saw from the basket. Dr. Thomas purchased the Pommern from Oscar Erbsloe a few days ago, and Mr. Erbsloe acted as pilot for the party. The other four passengers were Mrs. Thomas, Captain T. T. Lovelace, a member of the Aero Club of America; Lieutenant Robert Henderson, chief engineer of the battleship Missouri, and Dr. Rudolph Erbsloe of New York, an uncle of Oscar Erbsloe. Mrs. Thomas expressed herself as delighted with the trip and said it was the most enjoyable of any she has taken with her husband since he began ballooning. Under the skillful handling of Mr. Erbsloe the flight from Philadelphia to New York was made with very little sacrifice of gas or ballast, and with its six passengers the balloon came down so gently that not the slightest shock was felt. The landing was made by using the "rip cord." Dr. Thomas and his party landed in New Jersey on the way over, but by throwing out ballast rose again and thrown over to this city. In the flight dr. Thomas discarded the Pomerni's diminutive racing basket and substituted the larger one that he has used on his big balloon, the Nirvana, which provided ample room for the party of six. They started from Philadelphia at 11 o'clock in the foreground and for more than an hour drifted about sluggishly over that city, being caught first by one current and then by another at varying altitudes before they found the right current that carried them toward New York. During the trip they passed directly over Forts Hamilton and Wadsworth and were able to make photographs of all the interior portions of the defenses. Dr. Thomas said that the negatives were destroyed as soon as they landed. "But," said he, "it demonstrated to all of us how easily we might have destroyed the fortifications by dropping a few pounds of dynamite. Lieutenant Henderson was very much interested in the matter and will make a full report of his experience to the navy department. Honor to Confederate Flags ANNAPOLIS, Md., Nov. 13.—In the hands of the Confederate veterans from the Confederate Soldiers' home at Pikesville and escorted by several hundred members of the Society of the Army and Navy of the Confederate States in Maryland and hundreds of women, many of whom went through the troubled times of the civil war, the thirteen flags of the Maryland Confederate regiments were placed in the flag room of the statehouse in Annapolis. To Take Stars and Stripes to Pole. CHICAGO, Nov. 13—Sailing under the American flag, Captain R. Amundsen of Norway will attempt in 1910 to reach the north pole.

Lost of Mohicans a Panzer WATERBURY, Conn., Nov. 13. — Thomas Ford, last full blooded Mohican Indian, a few days ago became an inmate of the Plainville town farm at his own request.

J., Nov. 12.—Bernarr MacFadden, who was convicted in the United States court of sending obscene matter through the mails by means of a physical culture magazine, was sentenced to two years' imprisonment and $2,000 fine. President Wants More Powers. WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—Far from caring for the criticism aimed from various sources for his conspicuous part in recent revelations of financial rascality and unsoundness, President Roosevelt is discussing the expediency of urging the enactment of a new federal law giving to the chief executive of the nation the authority to suspend the operation of a trust or corporation for violation of federal statutes. Everthing! Everthing! IN FURNITURE AND FLOOR COVERINGS SYDNOR & HUNDLEY, INC. Leaders. CONDENSED DISPATCHES. Notable Events of the Week Briefly Chronicleled. The trial of John R. Walsh, former president of the defunct Chicago Natio- nal bank, on the charge of misapplica- tion of its funds, opened in the Uni- ted States district court before Judge A. B. Anderson at Chicago. The indi- ment against Mr. Walsh contains 160 counts. Flames sweeping through the serv- ants' rooms in the fifth floor of the Hotel Garde, in Meadow street, New Haven, Conn., burned to death four employees, while a fifth man, Isaac Levine, fell to his death while trying to escape by using the rope of the fire escape. Tuesday, Nov. 12. The Ravenswood Exchange bank, in the suburb of Ravenswood, Chicago, has closed its doors. The bank is small and has no connection with the Chicago clearing house. Dexter M. Ferry, head of one of the greatest seed firms in the United States, which bore his name, and prominent in business enterprises, was found dead in bed at his home at Detroit, Mich. A carload of lobster fry from the government hatcheries at Boothbay, Me., will be shipped to the Pacific coast this week for the first experiment in breeding the Maine lobster in the Pacific ocean. Senator Tillman of South Carolina declares that President Roosevelt will not accept a third term and that Speaker Cannon of the house of representatives will be the Republican nominee. "Bryan," Mr. Tillman said, "will be the Democratic nominee without a doubt. He is the greatest living Democrat and the proper man to intrust with the affairs of our government." Monday, Nov. 11 At Louisville, Ky., the independent tobacco buyers have taken quick action to prevent a war between the armed factions of the growers. They have decided not to accept delivery of any crop until the troubles subside. In the death of "Hannibal, the candy man," Yale has lost a familiar figure, George Henry Hannibal was eighty-four years old, and no Yale man has received a diploma for more than half a century without forming his acquaintance. Saturday, Nov. 9. The peace proposition of General Manager Orr at Havana for the settlement of the railway strike was kissed at a meeting of the strikers at the federation's headquarters. The proposition was utterly rejected. Negotiations for the settlement of the masons' strike continue. Mime, Tetrazzini, the soprano, whose successful debut at Covent Garden has been the talk of London, has just closed a contract by cable with Oscar Hammerstein. She will sing in the United States for three seasons of forty nights each, beginning in November, 1908. The contract stipulates that the singer shall receive $40,000 for her first season. Mrs. Ella Smith, a young woman concerning whom there has been made much mystery at a sanitarium in Kenosha, Wis., escaped from the custody of a trained nurse of that institution.

Friday, Nov. S. Foreign Minister Hayashi at Tokyo declared that the relations between Japan and America were as smooth and cordial as ever and the cause of civilization as well as community of interest demanded their lasting peace and friendship. By direction of the comptroller of the currency a rigid investigation has been made into the recent conduct of the affairs of the Mercantile National bank of New York. There is reason to believe that the treasury experts have uncovered serious violations of the law. Leslie M. Shaw, ex-secretary of the treasury, at a reception to the Rev. Dr. John Wesley Hill, the newly appointed pastor of the Metropolitan temple, New York, by the officers and members of the church, declared that if a person gave the president of the United States a cocktail there was no reason why he should not be eligible to a church conference.

The Cup of Life. Of all the vintage in the world One single cup of wine. One cup of life, one cup of death, One destiny is mine. I'd not give that special cup My fates have filled for me For any other in all time Or all eternity. For in my time and in my place No foot has stood before: My taste of fortune, fine or base, No lips can know of more. So, might I choose, I would not lose For nectared draughts diyine This deep-spiced vintage here and now, In mine own place and time. Mine be the strength to lift it up In pride, drink full and free; And standing drain the mortal cup My fates have poured for me. —Edith Wyatt, in Appleton's Magazine. The Eyes of Love. Why ask of others what they cannot say— Others, who for thy good have little care Come close, dear friend, and learn a better way: Look in my eyes, and read my story there! Trust not thine own proud wit; 'tis idle dreaming! Ask only of my eyes; my truth is there. My lips refuse an answer to thy boldness; Or with false, cruel words deny thy prayer. Believe them not, I hate them for their coldness! Look in my eyes: my love is written there! —James Freeman Clarke. Sweet Vagrom Days of Life. I know a path that leads away Par from the busy haunts of men, While there things to play, And frolic in the shady glen. Ah! long ago I sung with them The songs their children sing to-day. I know a brook that leaps along The meadow and the pastureland; In days ago its merry song Made music; and again I stand And listen to the meadow brook Make music—and my heart grows strong. I roam a vagrom as before Beyond the valleys and the hills; While with the wanderers of yore My heart renews the olden thrills; I frolic in the shady glen And am a boy with boys once more, —Honorine Seymour Keller, in New York Sun Optimism. Who will say that the world is dying? Who will say our prime is past? Sparks from heaven, within us dying that we shall not eat that Fool! who fancy Christ mustaken; Man a tool to buy and sell; Earth a failure, God-forsaken; Anterosh of Hell! Still the race of Hero-spirits Pass the lamp from hand to hand Age from age the Words inherits- from the Word of God in the land." Still the youthful hunter gathers Fiery joy from void and wood; He will dare as dared his fathers, Give him cause as good. He will dare as dared his fathers, Give him cause as good. Her Scheming Eyes Her Scheduling Eyes. Golden eyes that never beam, Were they the only dream? Only scheme, scheme, scheme, In a calculating study, How to catch a man of means Oh, they feast with gaze voracious On the hearts they hold as Iens, As they scheme, scheme, scheme, For the sake of the dream Will they soften with the years? Only scheme, scheme, scheme. They reflect the light of dollars, Golden dollars of her dream, Greenish yellow of the tigress, Do they never fading gleam, As they scheme, scheme, scheme? -Walter Beverley Crane, in New York Herald.

Judge Powers was permitted to de- velop the fact that Mrs. Bradley had taken an active part in the affairs of the Republican party of Utah, where women vote. and that she had been secretary of the state committee. “Were your relations with your hus- and happy or unhappy?" she was anked. “Unhappy,” was the reply, spoken In @ low tone. She was divorced from Mr. Bradley, she said, In 1905. ‘The witness then told of being intro- @uced to Senator Brown by her uncle and of afterward coming to know him i — | ! —e | : Se, eS | : P a | te" | é { | s af _ 4 tao ee Gre la Gnre Sr He; Giee well while she was secretary of the Republican committee. The acqualnt ‘ance had continued to ripen until 1898, Dut when Mrs, Rradley was asked to give a description of thelr relationship she fell into tears and appeared for a time quite unuble to proceed. When she did open her lips no one heard her ‘except the stenographer who stood at the Gesk before her. He interpreted her answer to be, “The acquaintance grew into very intimate relations.” “Was @ child born to you and him?" “¥en, in February, 1890." “Tell the jury how you came to enter Anto these relations. “The senator told me he was very wnhappy, very wretched. I told him that our relationship could only result fn grief and sorrow, and he replied that Re would stay by me all my life.

You can't avoid me, and I want fou to have a son.” Finally, after sev- @a! months, I consented.” “Consented to what?" asked Mr. Powers, “To his proposition,” responded the witness.

Res- idents Will Keep Watch on ‘Geen Miaeke. ‘The proposed meeting for Church HMM at Corcoran Hall this evening bas been called off. This announce- ment was made to-day by the gen- Hemen who were behind the move to organize the vigilance committee to ald the police in patrolling the East End of the city. The move appears to have been misunderstood, says the gentlemen, and as the police have shown a dis- position to resent the organization of the committee tt is deemed best to call the meeting off—certainly for the present. Instead of having men patrol the streets after night, the men have a- Kreed to take turns at watching in their individual neighborhoods, the men on each block to arrange for lookouts night after night and to do. their best to “wing” the men who have tried to rob houses and who| have made life miserable in certain sections. Then, too, there are sev- eral stalwart young men who have heretofore rigged themselves up as girls and who have walked nimbiy along the streets carrying in their hands a nicely wrapped package which contained a brick, ready to be used when the occasion wemanded. While it Is not known that this will be done at this time, there is no de- nial that It is a part of the scheme and is one of the reasons why it has: been decided to call off the meeting.’ —Richmond, Va.
