Richmond Planet

THE RICHMOND PLANET Who is the Legal Supreme Worthy Counsel for the Supreme Court of Canada The above legal question presents itself for the opinion of the legal lights of the Order. Under the laws of the Supreme Lodge by its present Constitution, Article 3, Section 2, says: "In the event of death of his Superior (the Supreme Chancellor), the Supreme Vice shall act as Supreme Chancellor, etc." The same constitution on page 42 says among other things touching the Supreme Court of Calanthe, "Resolved, that in future the Supreme Chancellor shall be Supreme Patriarch, the Supreme Vice Chancellor shall be Worthy Counselor, the Supreme Prelate shall be Worthy Supreme Orator. The other officers are females and shall be elected by the Supreme Court." This law was repealed at the session of the Supreme Lodge held at Cincinnati in 1889, for the reason that Sir L. H. Wilton, who had been elected Supreme Vice Chancellor was not at that time, number of any court. The Supreme Court was allowed to elect its officers, and Sir R. B. Baquie, of Louisiana, was elected Supreme Worthy Counselor and Rev. Israel Derrick of New York Supreme Orator. But at the session of the Supreme Lodge at Chicago, in order that certain things might be accomplished, the action of the Supreme Lodge in 1889 was ignored, not repealed, but ignored. The Supreme Vice, Sir L. M. Mitechell, was ordered by resolution to take charge of the Supreme Court. At the session of the Supreme Court held at St. Louis, 1903, a committee to revise the constitution, consisting of Dr. E. A. Williams Past Supreme Chancellor; Mrs. C. A. Curl of Chicago and Mrs. M. S. Jones of Hot Spring, Ark.; Mrs. C. A. Curl of Chicago and Mrs. S. H. Morris of Texas was appointed. The committee held a ten days' session at Hot Springs, Ark., formulated a new constitution, which was accepted by Mr. L. M. Mitchell, Supreme Vice Chancellor and Supreme Worthy Counsellor. Among other things that constitution provided that in the event of death, resignation or removal otherwise见位 of the Supreme Worthy Counsellor, the duties of that officer shall devolve upon the Supreme Worthy Inspectrix. See Art — page 3 of Constitution of the Supreme Court, 1905. But by some means the committee on law and supervision of the Supreme Court, with Mr. John S. Fielding as chairman, presented to the Supreme Court, Louisville, Ky., 1907 a cut and dried Supreme Constitution governing the Supreme and Grand Courts. This Constitution was adopted by the Supreme Court and approved by the late Sir S. W. Sturks, Supreme Chancellor, and has been printed and promulgated. This new Constitution says on page 9, Section 8: "In case of the inability of the Supreme Worthy Counselor from any cause whatever, to serve and perform the duties of his or her office, the same shall devolve upon the Supreme Inspectrix, and in case of her inability and that of the Supreme Worthy Counselor, the duties of the office of Supreme Counselor shall be performed by the Supreme Patriarch. Approved September 7, 1907. S. W. GREEN, S. W. C. Now where does the right to appoint a Supreme Worthy Counselor come in? The new constitution of the Supreme Lodge (which Sir John Mitchell, Jr. knocked sky high) says the Supreme Chancellor shall appoint the Supreme Worthy Counselor but that law is not in force and we contend that no other law provides for such an appointment. We can cite a case analogous to this one. Hon. G. F. Bowles was Supreme Dictator and Supreme Protector of the Knights of Honor, and the Knights and Ladies of Honor. He died in 1899. Mr. Marshall J. Simms claimed as Vice Dictator that he was Supreme Dictator and Supreme Protector, but Mrs. M. J. Rowell, who was elected Supreme Vice Protector, held that under a law which is similar to Section 8, of the Supreme Court constitution, that she was the legal Supreme She was recognized as such by all the members with a few exceptions, and was sustained in her contentions by the courts of land. Upon this very important point we ask who is the legal Supreme Worthy Counsellor? In case of a suit being brought against the Order, this is an important question and should not be evaded for favoritism. Who is the Supreme Worthy Counsellor? —Cincinnati Brotherhood. Death of Little Howard Lee Davis When our Heavenly Father looked among His jewels and found He needed another gem, He sent the angel of death to the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Davis, 1008 N. 7th Street and took therefrom their darling son, Howard Lee Davis, age 8 years. The funeral took place from Fourth Basilian Church Monday, May 4th, at 4 P. M. Rev.

The Fifth Baptist Church was well crowded last Sunday evening to witness the exercises of the monthly meeting of the National Baptist Sunday School Union. It was a grand meeting. The little ones covered themselves with glory in the rendition of solos, duets and recitations. The male quartette from Zion Baptist Church, the solo from Fifth St. Baptist Church, the fine recitations from the Fifth Baptist Church and the superb speaking and singing from the Mt. Vernon Baptist Sunday School, along with the other programme deserve special mention. Rev. Henry of Baltimore, Md., Rev. M. H. Payne and other divines were present and were introduced to the union. President Peyton and his corp of officers are working to further increase the union and to develop the mind and hearts of the little ones. The next Union will be held the second Sunday in July at the Zion Baptist Church, Manchester, Va. A lively time is expected. Three male quartettes from different schools will sing.

The testimony shows another important fact that is confirmatory of the innocence for the soldiers. PISTOL SHOTS. Ten revolvers for each company had been issued to the battalion at Fort Nibrara. There were no other revolvers or pistols of any kind, so far as the testimony discloses, in the possession of anybody connected with the battalion. The testimony shows that none of these revolvers had ever been taken out of the chests in which they were when they were delivered to the different companies, except only one that was in the possession of one of the officers of the battalion. All these revolvers, with this exception, were found after the firing to be in the chests where they belonged, covered with cosmoline that had been put on them at the arsenal, and not one or them showing any signs of having ever been used. The significance of this testimony arises from the fact that Major Penrose and his officers and also Major Combe and a number of other witnesses all testified positively that the first shots fired that night were pistol shots. Major Penrose and his officers and Mayor Combe were experts in the handling of arms and in distinguishing between pistols and high-power rifles. Major Penrose said: "The first two shots I heard were undoubtedly pistol shots." Captain Lyon says: "The first two shots were undoubtedly revolver shots, black powder." Lieutenant Grier: "They were what I thought were two pistol shots." George W. Rendall said, referring to these shots: "I think they were pistols; that was my impression at the time." Mayor Combe said he first heard "what I thought to be four or five pistol shots." He further said that he was impressed that they were pistol shots because they did not sound like the shots he heard later, which he recognized as high-power rifle shots. In view of this testimony, it can not well be doubted that the firing was commenced that night by somebody other than the soldiers. LOCATION OF FIRST SHOTS That this firing did not commence on the rear porches of the barracks or at any other point within the reservation is clearly shown by two witnesses who were in position to know, and unquestionably did know, more about the location of the first firing than anybody else. One of these was private J. H. Howard, or Company D, the sentinel who was on post and who happened when the long commenced, to be passing over his beat immediately in rear of C and B barracks, about opposite the space between them, and practically opposite the mouth of Cowen alley. The other witness was Matias G. Tamayo, a Mexican citizen of Brownsville, who was employed by the Government as the scavenger, and was with his night cart immediately in the rear of B barracks, near its kitchen, when the firing commenced. Both testified in the most unqualified way that there was no firing from the barracks or from any other point within the reservation; that the first shots were fired from some place due of the reservation, as nearly as they could locate them in the Garrison road, somewhere in the vicinity of the mouth of Cowen alley. Both Both witnesses were exhaustively examined and cross-examined without SOLDIERS INNOCENT. shaking or affecting their testimony on this point in the slightest degree. Both testified not only that there was no firing from any point within the reservation, but that no men or bodies of men were passing in the rear of the baeracks before or at the time of this first firing, and that nobody was seen to be jumping over the wall from the reservation into the Garrison road outside, and both testified that if any such thing had happened they were in a situation to have seen it. They describe intelligently and positively the character, of his first firing and the location of it, and negative, absolutely, and unqualifiedly the claim that there was any firing from any other point except that which followed the first firing, and which occurred as the raiders passed up Cowen Alley on the route they took. The sentinel testifies that there were first two shots, and then after a few seconds a fusillade of five or six shots, and that thereupon he passed the front line of the barracks opposite the parade ground, held his piece in the air and gave the alarm required under such circumstances by firing his piece three times, and after each got out "Corporal of the guard N2." His gun was the only one in the battalion found dirty from firing on inspection the following morning. Major Penrose and a number of other witnesses testified that they heard first two shots, then a fusillade of shots, then three separate and distinct shots, which were undoubtedly the shots fired by the sentinel, whom Major Penrose found at the point where the sentinel testified he stood when he gave the alarm. There is nothing whatever in the record of the sentinel, Howart, to his credit. His testimony is intelligent frank, straightforward, and undoubtedly but while it may be insisted that because he was a soldier, his statements should be discredited, there is no reason why he was for discrediting the testimony of Tomayo, the scavenger. He was a citizen of Brownsville; he had lived there his life. Owing to the fact that they had been there so short a time he had practically no acquaintance with the soldiers. He testified that he had no interest in them of any kind whatever to affect his testimony either one way or another. His testimony was also intelligent, frank, and straightforward, and although he was examined and cross-examined in the most rigid and exhaustive manner, his evidence was not affected or disparaged in the slightest degree. CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE It consists of a number of bullets that were cut out of the houses into which they were fired at the time of the affray, and a lot of exploded shells, some clips and cartridges, and a bandolier that were picked up in the alleys and streets of Brownville the next morning after the shooting. All these are the same as those with which the Negro soldiers were supplied. They are also precisely the same, however, with which the white soldiers were supplied who were relieved from duty at Fort Brown by the colored soldiers. The bullets have upon them the mark of four lands, indicating as the testimony shows, that they [CONTINUED ON THIRD PAGE.] —Mr. Benjamin Jackson, who has been ill is much improved.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS Another Lodge in Richmond Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., instituted a new lodge of Knights of Pythias at the Pythian Castle, Thursday night, May 7, 1908 although the Grand Opening of the Pythian Calanthe Industrial Association was in progress. The new body is known as (Rivanna Lodge, No. 146. The following officers were appointed and installed: Chancellor Commander, William Harris; Master of Work, J. C. Carper, M. D.; Vice Chancellor, William C. Christian; Prelate, Peyton Blount; Master at Arms, Harvey A. Scott; Keeper of Records and Seal, Willie Nash; Master of Finance, H. L. Brown; Master or Exchequer, Joseph Bradley; Inner Guard, William Ellis; Guard, James Richardson. Trustees, C. Carper, Ernest Bryant, Solomon Prentice. This lodge was organized through the efforts of Sir John R. Holmes, District Deputy Grand Chancellor and the Grand Chancellor commended him highly for his work. Dr. E. R. Jefferson, Sir S. S. Baker Sir George W. Dandridge, Sir James L. Thompson and many others assisted in the initiation. Richmond Delegation. The Richmond delegation to the Grand Lodge of Virginia, Knights of Pythias will leave next Monday morning, 11:10 via Southern Railway. Two coaches have been provided to accommodate the delegates. The fare one way will be $2.80 from Richmond. The Uniform Rank will go in camp at the quarters provided in South Main Street, it is leased and the Camp Commander, Major William A. Robinson will leave Sunday night to pitch the tents and arrange for the reception of the companies. The grand pauper will take place Wednesday at 2 P.M. and the grand banquet in honor of the visitors will be the same night at Independent Hall. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES The Temperance, Industrial and Collegiate Institute held its Sixteenth Annual Commencement in the Rebuilt Old Bagley Hall, on Sunday and Monday, May 10th and 11th, respectively. Fully six hundred persons attended the Exercises on Sunday Morning and Sunday night. President Smallwood, Ph.D., presided at 10:30 A. M. Sunday and the Rev. Leonard E. Kiesler of Peiersburg, Va. delivered a most interesting, instructive and eloquent sermon on Racial Tenacity, Dignity and Union. At times he had the entire large congregation wrapped in thought, as to what will be his next point. Rev. Mr. Kiesler is a young man with commanding appearance, a most pleasant personality, and is an earnest and eloquent speaker. The Newly Rebuilt Bagley Hall is a credit to the Negro Race, as it is to the community. As Mr. Kiesler said to his congregation on Sunday last, nothing but race-pride, energy, interest and moral courage could have accomplished the work done here in Claremont by one man. Among the numerous visitors, were John Sampson Howell, Mr. Anthony John M. Elliott, John Howell, Julius Jackson, Warren C. H.; Matthew Charity, Charles T. H.; Carter Wooden, Mr. George Taylor and Mr. Thomas Gilchrist. The above named were accompanied by their families. Besides, there were large numbers of distinguished ladies and gentlemen from various parts of the counties of Prince George, Surrey, Isle of Wight, Sussex, Nansendon, Norfolk and from North Carolina. The usual strict Bible study and the observance of the Holy Sabbath were maintained without ostentation. This Institute is strictly moral, religious and industrial. Boys and girls are certainly safe in a pure moral, and religious atmosphere, when once under the shelter of this Institution. The Annual Temperance Mass-Meeting commenced at 7:30 on the 10th inst. Mrs. Rosa E. Smallwood the Lady President, presided at this meeting. Mr. Smallwood gave a very interesting and eloquent address and special appeal towards the cause of Temperance, Honesty and Morality and Education at the homes. Mrs. Smallwood addressed her visitors at great length, and arrested their attention throughout her eloquent address. The Students, as Declaimers for the cause or Temperance, did honor to the cause of Temperance, to the Institution and to themselves. Mr. J. E. Bolling, the Field Agent for the Institution, delivered the annual address on Temperance. Dr. Smallwood spent his time on Monday showing his friends the two school farms. There are two excellent school farms one pertaining directly to the School, on which will be carried all the buildings, and the other on which stock raising and farming are carried on. MONDAY NIGHT. MAY 11TH The George W. Williams' Prize Contest will have as contestants, Mr. Charles P. Hayley, of Warrenton, N. C., and Miss Lucetta Anthony of Harpersville, Va. The honorary speakers on the occasion will be Miss Lee Isadore Banks, of Oyster Point, Va. and Miss Lula M. Clayton of High Gate Va. Prof. Barton will preside at the meeting. Mr. Barton is an educated gentleman, and a real christian. Miss Lee Banks, one of the honorary speakers is not yet fourteen Miss Clayton is older and is a beautiful young lady, and a brilliant student. The contest for the "Williams' Prize" was a heated one between Miss Anthony of Virginia and Mr. Hayley of North Carolina. Both realized the great responsibility and not unmindful at the same time of the pride of their native states. The Annual Address on Education was delivered by Rev. W. H. Davenport of the Clark Memorial Church, Claremont Va. The Rev. Gentleman is a strong earnest speaker, entirely free from pretence, bold in his assertions and purely racial. Thus ends the Sixteenth Annual Commencement of the Temperanre, Industrial and Collegiate Institute, a Negro Institution, founded and perpetuated by Negro energy, industry, skill and sacrifice. This Institution owns three hundred and seventy-seven acres of land, 6 cows, 4 excellent horses, a large number of ploughs, wagons, etc. It gives employment to eight teachers and employees, in various departments, and between fifteen and twenty other persons. On the farm are raised peas, corn, oats and hogs. Mr.W.R. Gray, who recently accepted the position as Business Manager is proving himself the right man in the right place. Dr. Smallwood keeps up wonderful courage and from somewhere, gets on enormous amount of will-power. He is to be helped and admired for the great work already accomplished. The Dedication of the "Rebuilt Bagley Hall," will take place on October 11th and 12th, next. There will be representatives from the States of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina. Dr. Smallwood and his co-workers will push this work all through Summer. Let us all hope for the success of a great work for PRICE, FIVE CENTS the Negro race that has struggled by its own efforts to honor the race. The prize contest was indeed interesting. The white people of the town were out in large numbers. Among them were Mr. J. H. Hughes, the largest and most practical farmer in the community; Mrs. E. M. Coombs and Mrs. J. E. Farrell, the Cincinnati who have always been good friend to the university; Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hundley, owner of "The Claremont Herald;" the Lady Teachers of the Claremont High Schools; Mrs. Hughes, Miss Hancy, Rev. and Mrs. E. E. Harry. There were large numbers otherwise who seemed to enjoy the speeches and the singing. Miss Lee Isadore Banks, of Oyster Point one of the honorary speakers, did herself much credit, also did Miss Clayton of Highgate. Miss Lucetta Anthony, of Harpersville, Va., who contested with Mr. Charles P. Keyy of Warrenton, N. C. won the Willingham Prize' for the Oratorical Competition. Miss Isadore Lee Banks won the prize for Scholarship and Misc. Luia M. Clayton won the First Prize for Department. Another Open Door to the American Negro. Which is glorious—who will enter into life through it? The True Light Army. Great National and High Educational Association of Glory will hold a high Educational Camp Meeting of Glory, June, July and August, 1908 in the True Light Army Camp Meeting Park, adjoining Ocean Grove and Asbury Park New Jersey, on the West Side about 15 or 20 minutes walk from the Asbury Park and Ocean Grove Depot. This great Camp Meeting of Glory will June the 7th and close August 20th, 1908. Archbishop Justus J. Evans, D. G., the inangurator and founder of this high educational Association of Glory is the President and Founder of the True Light Army and of the Glorious Light of the World Union, and he is also President and Founder of the True Light of Life Royal Trust Company which has a basis for seven hundred thousand and Royal Life Standard Negro members of which somebody has said was a fraudulent movement, but nevertheless it proves not so, for no one has said it would it to be anything but a royal way of fighting the Negro race of America which has been and this great Negro leader now sets before the whole Negro race another open door. He has bought for the Negro people a 26 acre park at the Seashore adjoining Asbury Park and Ocean Grove which is well worth to the Negro people over a hundred thousand ($100,000) dollars and will eventually be worth a million ($1,000,000) dollars for race purposes. This Park of 26 acres fronts on Springwood Avenue 1100 feet running back 1800 feet and is now being prepared for the High Educational Camp Meeting of Glory, and on a part of this tract of ground will be built the High Educational College of Glory by the True Light Army; and just think of it, all Negro people have been invited to join the True Light Army High Educational association of Glory, and own an interest in the great Park bought by him at the seashore. All worthy people of the Negro Race are given equal advantages to enter in the Association, provided they each will apply for an advance to membership before the first day of June, 1908. Each applicant can enter for $5.00 per head, i.e. if they send their $5.00 and application in before the first day of June 1908; for after that date no applications will be considered with a view of owning an interest in the Park for a fee of $5.00. And even now the $5.00 fee is not intended to admit good and worthy people, but is intended to test the applicant's faith and to keep out all unworthy people; for if any one sends $5.00 and applies for admittance before June 1, if they are found to do contrary to the will of the Association they will not be admitted in fellowship, and their $5.00 will be returned to them again in good faith, and such will be admonished to do the will of God, and then come again to seek fellowship with the High Educational Association of Glory. Now parties desiring to enter should address Arch Bishop Justus J. Evans, D. G. at his office, 131 Ridge Avenue, Asbury Park, N. J. before June 1, 1908. No worthy member of the race will be rejected who applies in time. JUSTUS J. EVANS, D. G., Pres. B. J. S. SYMMS, Treasurer. A. F. BOWER, Secretary. WANTED—A Graduate in Pharmacy as Clerk.

Lady Carrington’s example was followed pre. eipitately by Sir Charles and Mistress Deborah Slocum “Hey!” eried the little man blink tng and peering at the three kneeling figures, “whom have we here?” His ‘eye ranged from Elien to Deborah and comprehended the baronet knecling in the background. His dull face lighted with a glance of recognition. He knew the army list by heart and most of the OMcers appearing thereon, especially those of any degree of rank or sta tion. “Str Charles Seton, is tt not?” went en the plain little man, “and you are @ captain in the Sussex lght infantry. Rise, Sir Charles,” he continued, Sravely, “and you may present me to these ladies, your companions.” Sir Charles, glad enough to be re- Jeased from his uncomfortable post- ion, rose to his feet and stood at at tention with s military salute. Then Bowing profoundly, he said: “Your majesty,”—for the little man ‘was no less a person than King George the Third—“this is the Couatess of Carrington, aud this is Mistress Deb- erah Slocum of the—er—Massachu- setts Bay Colony.” “Of the state of Massachusetts, your majesty,” said Deborah, with great spirit “My afMfanced wife, your majesty,” cvatinand Salpm.

And by whom pre ferred?" “Captain Careysbrook of the Niobe, air.” : “And wherefore?" “Lord Carrington betng ordered to Teport aboard ship, refused to go and the ship sailed without him, sir.” “What reason had he for this disobe. dience?” Little George had been a soldier himself, and he was yery strict indeed on branches of military etiquette Sir Charles hesitated. A plous man was the king, and desperately down upon dueling. Yet the truth had to be told. “Your majesty,” he began. And then he stopped. “Sir,” erted Ellen, taking upon ber. self the burden, “my husband fought @ duel for me.” “A duel?” asked the king, frowning. “Yes, your majesty.” “And with whom?” “With the earl of Stratheate, str.” “What was the result of the duel?" “Lord Strathgate was severely wounded, sir.” “Not Killed?” “No, your majesty.” “I'm glad of that,” returned King George. “The earl of Strathgate is M1 prepared to meet his Maker. Pro ceed, madam.” “That 1s all, sir, Lord Carrington Was arrested Immediately after for not having gone aboard the ship. You see, sir, he knew the night before when he received the orders that he would have to fight with Lord Strath gate in the morning, and he @ouldn't go. The fault is mine, your majesty, and therefore I humbly ask bis par don,” “Explain yourself, madam," re turned the king, with a good deal ot formality. “Your majesty,” began Ellen, falter ingly, “Ihave been a very foolist woman. I ran away—with—Lor¢ Strathgate.” “What!” exclaimed the king, his face flushing with indignation. “And You have the effrontery to come here and confess it.” “Lady Carrington does herself an injustice,” again interposed Si Charles ‘Seton. “Tis a long story. “sir.” “Long or short,” answered the king. “I must have it How was it, Si Charles?" “It began at a house party at Car rington, your majesty.” He hesitated and turned to Ellen. “I must make a clean breast of it," he said. “By all means,” cried the king. “conceal nothing, keep nothing back!” “Lord Carrington was ashamed of his wife, sir.” “And why?” asked the king, with a glance of admiration at Ellen, now clothed simply, but in the proper hab: iliments of her sex, and who certainly Yooked lovely enough and sweet enough for any man on earth. “Because, sir,” said Elion, answering the direct question, “I would not gam: ble; I could not ‘dance; I was tg norant of the accomplishments of the | “Hum!” growled the king. “Pro “ceed, Sir Charles.” “There was a lady there who sought to encourage my Lord Carrington tn his foolish and wrong estimate of his wife.” “Who was the woman?" Sir Charles hesitated. “I command you, sir, by your alleg fance, that you tell me her name in. stantly.” “It was Lady Cecily Carrington, your majesty," answered Deborah, who bad no scruples at all in the premises. “The hussy!” ejaculated the queen to whom Lady Cecily’s person and reputation were equally well known. ‘The king raised a warning hand Str Charles, at a nod from his majees ty, resumed his tale. “Thinking eee cnet, as well as despised and my lady fled by the aid of Lord Strathgate.” “But, your majesty,” interposed Deb orah again, with astonishing bold. ness, she felt quite equal to any king that walked the earth, being a free Dorm American citizen and she wished that Elder Brewster could see how THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.

I have something to say to him.” “Yes, your majesty.” returned the equerry, bowing and withdrawing rapidly. And presently old Admiral Kep- hard, in full uniform, attended by Captain Beatty and Lieutenant Col- Her, came rolling along the walk. As the admiral ard his subordinates sa. luted and prejared to kneel, the king motioned to them to rise.

Hum!" sald the king. “And the punishment?" “Suspension, degradation, dismissal unless your majesty should be pleased to mitigate the sentence.” “And what were the circumstances of the disobedience?” Admiral Kephard coughed and looked embarrassed. “Out with {t,” said the king, bluntly. “He stayed from his ship to—ab— fight a duel.” “How docs he bear himself now?" continued the King, to Admiral Kep bard's surprise, He bad expected a violent outburst from his niajesty, who thoroughly dis approved of dueling. “Gloomily, your majesty.

By the king's direction Kephard stood in front of his majesty, and Car. rington did not at first see who was there.

There was nothing else I could do.” “You're not sorry for it?” asked the king sternly. Carrington had to tell the truth. Although he felt morally certain that he would bring down upon his head the wrath of the king, which would be the last straw added to his already heavy burdens, he scorned to Iie. “No, I am not sorry, sir. I should Go tt again.” “You're an honest man, Lord Car ringto®,” said the king, “if'a very fool ish one.” | It was Lord Strathgate himself who told me that I was, saving your ma- Jesty’s grace, a damned fool.” “Ahem!” sald the king, “it seems that Lord Strathgate can speak the truth on occasion. When salad he that?” “Lying on the ground with my sword through him,” answered Car rington, his face flushing at the king's deliberate corroboration of Strath- fate's uncomplimentary opinion. “Well,” said the king, “that’s what caused you to disobey omders?” “That and that enly, your majesty, and I am ready to take the punishment for it, whatever it may be.” “And what is {t likely to be?* “Dismissal from the service, per chance, sir,” returned Carrington hoarsely, “And your wife, what of her; Where ts she?” "I would to God I knew.

There was more fufling of bugles, more rolling of drums, more blaring of trumpets, more thundering of guns, more hurrahing from the men, as the Uttle king, thoroughly delighted with his royal clemency, was rowed back to the shore, The other boat departed shortly after the king's, without exelting the slightest attention. The officer of the deck escorted Carrington over the side. | ee a ey) 3 a a MN - é q) a Dy GK: 2) We A § shook hands with him and the boat pulled away to the Fellona, a hand some 32gun frigate fresh from the shipyards and ready for her maiden cruise, which lay near by Carrington was recetved there with some ceremony, His arrival had been expected. Parkman, who had been transferred from the Renown, met him atthe gangway and the two shock bands fervently. “Iam ordered to this ship, Jack, as first lieutenant,” sald Carrington, gloomily, as they turned and walked aft. “Here are my papers. As you will see, Tam directed to assume charge, the captain not being aboard, and take the ship around to Wey- meuth, where he will Join us.” “And the courtmartial? asked Parkman. “The king hath pardoned me.” “And your wife?” “Cod only knows!” said Carrington, desperately. “AN { know is that she fs well and under the king's especial protection. We are bound for the East: Indies for three years. Three years away from her! God, what a fool I've been. Stratheate was right!" Car- rington turned away, putting strong constraint upon himself in order to compose his features. “Well,” he said fat last, “are you all ready?” “Ready to trip,” returned Parkman. “Call all hands. I'll read them my orders and then we'll get up anchor.” In & moment the shill piping of the boatswain and his mates along the deck was followed by the trampling of many feet. The crew, a splendid set of fellows, assembied in the gangways. Carrington read his orders to them, directed the commanding officer's pen- nant to be hoisted and bade Parkman, who for the present acted as first lieu- tenant, to got under way, As the Bellona drew abreast the Uner a burly figure suddenly appeared on the edge of the high poop of the Britannia.

Where was she living? What was she thinking of him? He knew nothing save that in some manner she was under the especial protection of the king; that was assurance enough that she was well cared for, for no man questioned the honesty, sincerity or kindness of George the Third. It would be three years before he would see her again. The thought was maddening to him. He did not even know where to write to her. He was not at all sure that the king would cause his letter to be delivered to her. He came to a desperate resolution. He would write her another letter and send it from Weymouth by special messenger to the king and beg him to see that it was delivered. It was not until late in the afternoon, when the Bellona was fairly in the channel beating down toward her destination, that Carrington went below. As there was no captain yet on the ship the quarters of that functionary by right belonged to him. He entered them without ceremony. The cabin on the new ship looked bright and cheery. Its equipments were rude, of course, as were those of all ships in those days, but they were better than those in ordinary vessels, the Bellona being the newest and most advanced product of the shipyards. To a sailor of that day it was both a spacious and delightful sea home. To Carrington it was only a prison. He did not attempt to enter the state rooms on either side, but sat down at the table, buried his face in his hands and groaned aloud. It was the first moment of privacy that he had enjoyed. It was the first opportunity afforded him to give way to his feelings, and he indulged himself at will. Separated from his wife, and through his own folly! The future that had opened so fairly before him utterly wrecked! Three long weary years at the least, and possibly four, to intervene before he could see her again. He almost envied Strathgate—fighting desperately for life at Blythedale Hall and likely to be an invalid for the rest of his days—because he would be in England while Carrington was far away. He had gone through so much. He had drunk so deeply the bitter cup of repentance that he gave way completely to his emotions. "This will never do," he said at last. "My punishment seems greater than I can bear, and yet I must bear it; I must show myself a man for her." A little hand fell softly upon his shoulder with touch as light as that of thistledown. Where that hand touched him was the center of his being. My lord turned his head, looked at it slowly, turned his body, followed it up, saw a face he dreamed of, tears rolling from eyes that looked love at him, and in another moment he was clasped in his wife's arms. This was the punishment met out to him by little George. He was to go to the Indies, but not alone. When there was time for coherent speech Ellen handed her husband another paper appointing him captain of the Bellona, subject only to the orders of his wife. "God bless him!" cried my lord, folding his wife again to his heart. "And I say so, too," answers Ellen, "although we fought against him so long, he hath a kindly heart." "He hath, indeed," returned Carrington, after a time. "He gave me his royal word that you should be well looked after for the next three years, and the keeping of the king's word is intrusted to me. I shall see to it." "Nay," said Ellen, "you are under my command now. Look at your orders." "Tis even so, my little captain," laughed my lord, sweeping her to his heart again. "And what orders do you propose to issue to me?" "I should like to present to you two of my friends." "Your friends are my friends, my dear," returned Carrington, "and when occasion serves I shall be happy to greet them." "It serves now," said Ellen, drawing herself away from him. And indeed she found it difficult, for he would by no means let her go, following her aft and still keeping his hand about her waist as she opened the door of one of the cabins. Out thence, for all the world like a Jack-in-the-box, popped Mistress Deborah, her cheeks redder than the scarlet ribbons she affected, and stalking behind her came Sir Charles Seton in great dignity. "I did you an injustice, Charles!" cried my Lord Carrington. "I humbly beg your pardon. I have not heard the story"—and Seton was glad my lord's remarks were so spontaneous—"but I know that you were true." "It's granted, Bernard," said Seton heartily. "I could forgive you anything, knowing how you felt over the loss of your wife, for to-day I can put myself in your place in one particular." "And how's that?" "In this way," returned Seton. "Permit me"—he seized the blushing Deborah as he spoke—"Salute Lady Seton, Carrington." "What! Is it so?" "We were married this morning, the king himself being one of the witnesses." "And do you go with us to India?" "Nay," answered Seton, "only to Weymouth." And at that Carrington was very glad, for though he loved Seton much. --- satisfied the officers, as we have already pointed out, that their men were not guilty, and they have so testified. They testify that they were influenced to change their opinions and reach the conclusion that their men were not guilty by a number of facts developed, including among others, the results of a microscopic examination that was made of the exploded shells that were picked up in the streets of Brownsville. In other words, the testimony by which they had been first led to believe that their men were guilty turned out, as a result of this investigation, to be conclusive proof to their minds that their men were not guilty. The part this testimony has thus played shows that it is sufficiently important to receive special consideration. 1. According to the weight of the testimony there were from 150 to 300 shots fired that night in Brownsville by the raiders, whoever they may have been. There should have been found, therefore, that many exploded shells. The testimony shows that careful search was made to find the shells and every other species of evidence that might tend to show that the soldiers were guilty, but with the result that, all told, only about 40 of these exploded shells were found. In other words, there were from 100 to 200 or 300 exploded shells, according to the theory of those who claim that the soldiers did the firing, scattered somewhere as a result of that firing in the alleys have been found. Nobody pretends that there was any difficulty on account of the reason of the ground or for any other reason about finding any exploded shells there may have been, or ought to have been, in the streets where the firing occurred. Seven of these empty shells were found at the mouth of the Cowen alley near the fort by Captain Mack-lln. Others were found in the alley and in Washington street at the point where the firing is said to have occurred. These shells so found, except those found by Captain Macklin, were turned over to the authorities and subsequently forwarded to the Senate for use as evidence. There were only 33 of them in all. There may possibly have been a few others picked up that were not turned over, and have no account of them, and the testing of such character as to warrant the conclusion there could have been but very few, if any, picked up in addition to the 33 mentioned. It is reasonable to conclude that the other shells that must have been exploded, if there were as many shots fired as the witnesses state, were not found to be such shells as the soldiers used, or there must have been some other good reason for not submitting them as evidence. Whatever the explanation may be, the fact remains, and it is a fact that in and of itself discredits the deductions drawn to the prejudices of the soldiers from the finding of the shells that have been submitted. SHELLS AND CLIPS FOUND BY CAPTAIN MACKLIN. It is testified by Captain Macklin, who was officer of the day, that just at the break of dawn he made a careful search for any evidence that would show who had done the firing. In this behalf he searched, both inside the reservation wall and outside to find shells and clips or other evidence that the soldiers had done the firing, as the citizens were at that time charging. He found no shell, no clip, no evidence of any kind inside the reservation wall, but outside the wall, across the street, in front of the garrison and at the mouth of Cowen alley, where, according to the testimony of the guard and the scavenger and other witnesses, the first shots were taken in found seven shells and six clips in a area not more than ten inches in diameter. The testimony is conclusive that if these shells had fallen from Springfield rifles as they were fired they would have been scattered over an area perhaps 10 feet in diameter. It is the opinion of all the witnesses who testified on that point that the shells found by Captain Macklin could not have fallen in the position in which he found them if they had fallen as they were fired. This fact, coupled with the further fact that with these seven shells six clips, enough to hold thirty cartridges of shells credits the finding of the shells in the alleys and streets as evidence of the guilt of the soldiers. MICROSCOPIC INVESTIGATION But while the investigation was in progress the War Department, on its own motion, caused all the rifles that were in the hands of the three companies at Brownsville that night to be forwarded to the Springfield Armory, and detailed two officers, who, under instructions from the War Department, caused to be fired out of each of these rifles two cartridges. The indentations on the heads of the exploded shells so fired were put under the microscope and compared with the indentations found on the heads of the thirty-three exploded shells picked up in the streets of Brownsville, which indentations were similarly magnified. In order that Senators may have a better idea than I can convey by mere language, I have in my hand here an exploded shell to which I call attention. That is the head of the shell—where I am pointing. The center of that head is called the "primer." When the cartridge is inserted in the gun and the trigger is pulled a bolt shoots forward which carries what is called the "dring pin" until it strikes the primer and that explodes the shell. As I have already read, two cartridges were fired from each one of the guns of this battalion by the officers who were intrusted with the duty of making the experiment, and the indentations made upon the heads of the shells were then magnified, and you see by these exhibits in our record at pages 1313-1314 to what extent they were magnified. [Indicating.] All firing pins are made by machinery and are supposed to be practically alike, yet it is found upon examination that no two firing pins will make the same kind of an indentation; that is, there does not seem to be anything in either manufacture or nature exactly like any- he loved his wife more, and he wanted her for the rest of his life all to himself. Seton divined that, for presently he took Deborah by the hand and led her forth upon the quarterdeck, leaving Carrington and Ellen alone together, each in the haven where they fain would be; husband and wife, one and inseparable now and forever, locked in each other's arms. (THE END.) Review of the Evidence. (Continued From First Page.) were fired from either a Springfield rifle, or a Krag rifle, or a Krag carbine, or a Mauser rifle. It is claimed, however, that they must have been fired from a Springfield rifle. First, because the Springfield cartridge is too long and too large to fit into a Krag rifle or Krag carbine, or a Mauser rifle, and that if the bullets that were found belonged to Springfield rifles, and that inasmuch as no one at Brownsville, so far as the testimony discloses, had a Springfield rifle, except only the Negro soldiers, they must have done the firing. Until this circumstantial evidence was made, the Major Penrose and his officers, they would not believe that any of their men had been engaged in the shooting, but this testimony seemed so conclusive that they changed their minds and expressed themselves as convinced that their men must have done the shooting. It was this apparently conclusive testimony that fastened the conviction of guilt upon the soldiers in the minds of all who were engaged in the investigation of the affray, and which led the investigators to disbelieve the soldiers and to desist from investigating the question of the possible guilt of others. As soon as this evidence was presented to Major Penrose and his officers they put their men under the strictest scrutiny and subjected them to the severest discipline and examinations, with a view to ascertaining who the guilty men were. They continued this course not only at Fort Brown, but subsequently at El Reno, down to the time when their men were discharged without honor, but, notwithstanding they made every kind of an effort, they failed to get any clue whatever to indicate what men, if any at all, were guilty. Every man in the command continued to stoutly and unqualifiedly deny that he had participated in the affray, and also that he had any knowledge whatever as to who had done the shooting. When General Garlington announced the President's ultimatum, that unless some one disclosed who the guilty parties were the whole battalion would be discharged without honor, it was thought that at least those oldest in the service, and therefore having the most to lose by such a discharge, would come forward with incriminating testimony; but when they continued to assert their innocence and lack or any knowledge whatever on the subject, their officers, who knew their pride in their record as soldiers and knew their trustworthiness and truthfulness and general reliability as men, began to doubt their guilt. This wavering ripened into conviction when during the progress of the Penrose court-martial and the Senate investigation a number of important facts favorable to the soldiers were developed and established. THE MICROSCOPIC INSPECTION No one fact had so much weight with these officers to change their minds as what is known in this record as the microscopic inspection that was made of the exploded shells above referred to. When the results of this investigation were communicated to the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, made a part of the record of the investigation, and made known to the public, these officers carefully studied the various points and features and phases of the same with the result that, coupled with other testimony, they became thoroughly convinced that their men were absolutely innocent, one and all, of any action in the shooting affray, and of withholding any information with regard there. All testified fully as to this change of opinion in favor of their men, giving their reasons therefor. This testimony, which was so conclusive to these officers, appears e.g. equally conclusive to my mind. It is of the most important character and, in consequence, is entitled to the most careful attention. My views with respect to this circumstantial evidence and this microscopic inspection and the conclusions deduplicable from the results of the same are fully and carefully expressly supplemental minority report signed by the generator from Connecticut and myself. I do not know how better to present what I have to say in regard thereto than by quoting the following from that report. It involves some repetition, but in view of its importance that is not objectionable. THE SHELLS, CLIPS, ETC A lot of exploded cartridge shells, some clips and cartridges, and a bandolier were picked up in the alleys and the next morning after the shooting. Until these were brought to the fort and shown to Major Penrose and the other officers of the battalion they would not, any of them, believe rt possible that any of the men of the battalion had been engaged in the shooting; but when these were exhibited to them, and they were told that they were picked up at the points where the shooting occurred, they changed their minds and concluded that in view of such evidence their men must have done the shooting. From that moment they put their men under he strictest scrutiny and surveillance and made every effort possible to ascertain who the guilty men were, but all such efforts failed. In the meanwhile the court-martial or Major Penrose was held at San Antonio and the investigation before the Senate Committee commenced. The testimony so taken THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA NUMBER OF SHELLS FOUND thing else, even when it is made with machinery. All the heads of these exploded shells fired by these experts were put under the magnifying glass and magnified in that way. So were the heads of the shells picked up in the streets of Brownsville put under the magnifying glass, and then they were compared with each other with this result, that the indentations found on the thirty-three shells picked up in the streets of Brownsville were exactly like the indentations made upon the shells fired by these experts out of four certain rifles that had been sent to the Springfield Academy, which were found to have belonged to Company B. All that is set forth in the official report of these experts. The experts transmitted them to the Secretary of War, with a report in which they said that the experiments showed conclusively that the thirty-three shells picked up in the streets of Brownsville had been fired out of these four certain rifles—eleven out of one, eight out of another, and so on. The numbers of the rifles were given, and that was transmitted to the committee as settling the whole matter. TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK THE TRUE AND THE UNTRUE.

We return thanks for an invitation to the twenty-seventh anniversary exercises of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Booker T. Washington, A. M. Principal, May 2nd to the 28th, 1908 at Tuskegee, Ala. ---O--- We owe an apology to Mr. William Monroe Trotter for having accredited him with being the President of the National Negro American Political League of the United States. He was only the presiding officer of the meeting at Philadelphia, Pa. April 8, 1908. Rev. J. Milton Waldron, D. D. was elected President and that he is the right man in the right place no one will gain-say or deny. The address to the country breathes defiance to the Republican Party and to all other parties. There are some things said that had better been left unsaid. Still as a whole the document is a fair presentation of the views of the colored men, who spent their time in deliberating in the "city of Brotherly Love." ____0____ MR. ROOSEVELT'S DEFIANCE. "Now, in the name of all the gods at ence. Upon what meat doth this, our Caesar feed, That he is grown so great? Age, thou art sham'd Rome, thou hast lost the brood of noble bloods."—Shakespeare. That President Roosevelt's course in the Brownsville affair has caused surprise is only the more demonstrated in the fact that his attitude in Col. William F. Stewart's case has caused amazement. That he should notify the United States Senate by way of personal letters addressed to some of its members that he would veto any bill for the relief of the colored soldiers was bad enough, but the declaration that in either the case of the colored soldiers or of Col. Stewart, if the measures for relief were passed over his veto, he would disregard the action of the Congress was a note of defiance that was a record-breaker in these "piping times of peace." We do not call to mind where at any time in the history of the Republic a President of the United States has been guilty of such a pronounced intention of exercising such a usurpation of power. Mr. Roosevelt has made good all of the prophecies of those conservative elements in New York, who long before he reached the Presidential chair gravely announced that it would be a national calamity for him to secure the goal of his ambition. The indications now are that all that was said will come literally true and that his fame will be tarnished by his indiscretions. There is a limit to the endurance of even the Congress of the United States and it is only the hope and the prospect that he will turn the office over to some successor,.Democrat or Republican, Prohibition or Independence League that the surprising patience is now being exhibited by the legislative branch of the government. These people, who presumed that a President, who had done much good could do much harm are now having an object lesson in placing an extremist in the White House. Mr. Roosevelt is intoxicated with his past successes. He is unquestionably "riding for a fall." That he will be the victim of a great reaction on the part of the people is just as certain as it is that night follows day. In all of this it is being demonstrated as it was predicted by Senator Foraker, that if the President of the United States has the power to kick a whole battalion of Negro soldiers out of the army without honor and without a trial then he has the power to "boot" a whole regiment of white soldiers out of the army without honor and without a trial. O THE POSTPONEMENT OF THE VOTE. We think that Senator Joseph Benson Foraker of Ohio pursued a wise course in the United States Senate last Wednesday when he agreed to the postponement of a vote on his bill restoring the colored soldiers of Companies B, C and D of the Twenty-fifth Infantry to all of their rights and privileges. The Democrats under the leadership of Senator Culberson endeavored to play a shrewd game of politics but they were out-generalled by the distinguished Ohio Senator. He was endeavoring to get a vote on his bill next Tuesday, but it was demonstrated that in the absence of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts this could not be done as it would be a violation of a senatorial rule of courtesy and Senator Culberson of Texas knew it. Senator Foraker then moved that it be made the special order for the second Wednesday in December. On the part of the Democrats, Senator Culberson moved that the date for the consideration of the Foraker Bill be May 16th, 1908. He knew that the adoption of such an amendment was impossible. Senator Foraker moved to table the amendment and it was carried by a vote of 42 to 27. The motion as originally made by him was agreed to. It was plainly evident by the vote on Senator Rayner's bill in referring it to the Committee on Military Affairs that it was utterly impossible to rally enough Republicans to pass the measure with the Democrats guar anteeing to vote with the Administration's Senators. In December, the appropriation and public buildings bills will be out of the way and President Roosevelt's influence as the retiring Chief Executive will be on the wane. The Republicans in the Congress of the United States will not be hampered in their positions by the possibility of defeat at the polls and will act with a freedom more in keeping with justice. Viewed from any standpoint it seems to us that Senator Foraker pursued a wise course and adopted a policy that will result in the greatest benefit to those innocent men for whose behalf he has given his greatest efforts and expended much of his hard-earned money. A REINVESTMENT. A Missouri man tells of an Irishman named Coughlin, who lived in a shanty standing in a field near the main highway from Kansas City. The foundations of the shanty were lower than the road, through which ran a big water-main. As the living floor of the place was raised on posts to make it level with the highway, it left a large cellar underneath, where Coughlin kept a dozen heens. One day the water-main burst, flooding the cellar and drowning the hens. Whereupon Coughlin took steps to enter a claim for damages against the city. After much delay influential friends succeeded in securing the sum of $25 in settlement of Coughlin's claim. "I've got me money!" shouted the Irishman to a neighbor sitting on the steps of the next shanty. "It's glad I am to hear that," was the reply. "And how much was it, Coughlin?" "Twinty-five dollars." "And chwat are ye gain" to do with the twinty-five, Coughlin? "I'm going to buy twinty-five dollars' worth o' ducks," said Coughlin.—Harper's Weekly "They don't worry me with their savage dogs." "How do you get round 'em, Weary?" "When I hear a dog bark, I glits out me memory-ender-book, an' pretends to be looking round, an' takin' notes, dyer see?" "Yes."

Pittsburg, May 13—The Allegheny National bank shortage suddenly jumped from $469,000 to $1,250,000. William Montgomery, the cashier, given up by his bondsmen, was released after his bail had been doubled, but is still under constant guard of four detectives, his friends declaring they fear he will attempt suicide. Forged paper for large amounts is said to have been found in the bank by Examiner W. L. Folds. Directors of the bank held an all-night session and contend that $200,000 of the new shortage could be recovered immediately; that city and state funds were safe, and that the bank's surplus and undivided profits of $829,000 would take care of the loss. Bank Examiner Folds refused to affirm this statement. There were rumors that part of the $1,500,000 city funds and $532,000 state funds were jeopardized by the latest developments, and the report was partially confirmed that the First National bank had offered to take charge of the liquidation of the Allegheny National bank. The announcement by Examiner Folds that the shortage would reach $1,250,000 was not made until Cashier Montgomery had been taken into custody by the United States marshal. George E. Tener and Richard R. Quay, who were on Montgomery's bond for $50,000, appeared in United States court and offered to surrender Montgomery as soon as he could be found. The bondsmen explained their action by declaring that they believed Montgomery's mental condition to be such that he would end his life when he learned that he had been formally accused of the embezzlement of a larger sum. They said they believed he would be safer in jail. He was found in the Frick building and immediately taken into custody. For two hours they sweated Montgomery in the United States marshal's office. Stubborn as a witness, it appeared almost impossible to secure any admissions from Montgomery. Finally he turned over his stock in the bank, 120 shares, of a face value of $120,000, and other securities which made the total amount considerably over $250,000. He told the government officials where more securities could be found. Montgomery's questioners pleaded with him to tell all he knew. The banker paced to and fro in the marshal's office, apparently worked up to a high pitch of excitement. As his friends were mentioned as being under suspicion with him, he declared almost savagely that they were not. Again he was piled with questions concerning the finding of the forged notes. There came weak admissions. Finally a new ball bond was prepared. It was for double the amount of the original ball of $50,000, and George E. Tener and R. R. Quay went on his bond for $100,000. Montgomery went out with his bondsmen. He will not be allowed to be alone for a moment. Guards will keep constant watch over the man day and night, pending his examination or trial in court. Boy Tosses Powder in Bonfire; Dying. York, Pa., May 13.—Curvin Arnold, eight years old, was fatally burned at his home at Long Level. The lad, with a ten-year-old companion, Jacob Graham, had started a bonfire to pass away the hours. Young Arnold had in his possession a can of gunpowder. "I want to see a big blaze," said Arnold. He then tossed the gunpowder into the blaze. There was a report and flames were scattered in every direction. Arnold's clothes were ignited, and in an effort to save his life his companion shoved him into the river. He was rescued from the water by several men, but will die from his burns. Church Thief Lynched. Contral, Belgium, May 13.—Practically the whole population of the village of Belleghen, a short distance from here, armed with clubs and knives, set upon and killed a man who was caught in the act of burglarizing the famous chapel of the Virgin. The villagers had been highly incensed at previous church robberies. Doctors who made an examination of the body found twenty-seven knife wounds.

MINERS KILLED Seven Mem Meet Death Fighting Fire in a Mine. They Let Air Into Gangway to Allow Gas to Escape, When An Explosion Took Place — Great Excitement About Mine. Wilkes-Barre, Pa., May 13. — The historic town of Wyoming was thrown into a state of excitement when word came from the Mt. Lockout colliery, operated by the Temple Coal and Iron company, that an explosion of gas had occurred and that many miners and laborers had been killed. Thousands of people flocked to the mine and the state constabulary, who have their barracks near there, had all they could do to keep the crowd away from the mouth of the shaft. From what could be learned at the mine during the excitement, was that a miner named John Kosmith left a small "gas feeder" burn in the extreme end of a gangway, 1800 feet away from the shaft and 600 feet under the ground, all of Monday night, which during the night or the early morning set fire to the timbers and the coal. When the fire boss started into the mine to make his rounds he discovered a fire. He at once reported it, and with three men he tried to subdue the flames, but they met with gas while trying to do so. Shortly after a slight explosion took place burning the four men but not seriously injuring them. They then came out of the mine and the inside foremen summoned a gang of men together and went into the mine to put out the fire. They then let air in from another gangway to allow the gas to escape, and while doing so a second explosion took place, and seven men, all miners and laborers, were instantly killed and five others burned upon the hands and face. The killed are: Pascal Smith, married with a family, Frank Smith, Michael McNulty, Oscar Smallcomb, married, with family; George Metcalf, married, with family; Lewis Pataskay, married; Joseph Yancanden, married. The injured: John Welsh, William Cofstolo, Henry Learch, John Pataskay, Charles Babcock. All those injured live in the neighborhood of the colliery. All were burned upon face and hands. A rescue party was formed and they were at once sent into the mine to get the men out. The dead men were all identified by the foreman. Several of the rescue party were overcome by gas and had to be taken from the mine in a semi-conscious condition. BLACK HAND SETBACK Member of Baltimore Gang Gets Ten Years In Jail. Baltimore, May 13. Antonio Lanas, head of the Lanas-Goffe Steamship & Fruit Importing company, was sentenced to ten years in jail for conspiracy to destroy the property of Joseph Digiorlio. Lanas was one of a dozen Italians charged with having schemed to extort money from Digiorlio in a Black Hand plot. The latter is a business rival of Lanas. In the testimony at Lanas' trial Salcatore Lupo, who turned state's evidence, swore that Lanas employed him to come here to blow up Digiorlio's home after the latter had refused to give up $10,000 to the Black Hand. Lupo was sentenced to fifteen months in jail. Bryan's Son-in-Law Attacked tucked. Paris, May 12—W. H. Leavitt, a son-in-law of William J. Bryan, has had a dangerous encounter here with an Italian named Cana, who had been sitting for Mr. Leavitt as a model for a picture-which the American artist is painting. After being released from his engagement Cana returned repeatedly to Mr. Leavitt's studio and demanded extra pay, which was refused. The model finally came back armed with a bludgeon, with which he struck Mr. Leavitt on the head. The artist was knocked down, but he jumped up and defended himself. With a knife he slashed at Cana and cut him in the head. Help then came and the Italian was arrested. Mr. Leavitt was cut on the head, but not seriously hurt.

President Roosevelt laid the cornerstone at Washington of the first international temple of peace, friendship and commerce yet to be erected — the tangible evidence of the desire of the twenty-one American republics that war shall be no more in the western world. Fitting the historical importance of the event the exercises were made impressive by the participation of the heads of each of these republics. Following addresses by President Roosevelt, Secretary Root, Ambassador Nabuco, of Brazil, and Andrew Carnegie, a cabled sentiment expressing the hearty approval of each president was read. Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop Cranston pronounced an invocation and benediction of the work done, and the United States marine band played selections of Pan-American music. The building is to be the home of the international bureau maintained by the American republics and is to be made the centre of a continuous campaign of education, where one country may obtain accurate and up-to-date information of every other. A library on all subjects American is to be developed, and a propaganda maintained intended to bring all American governments nearer together. With San Francisco on tippo to greet them, the Atlantic battleship fleet, with Rear Admiral Robbley D. Evans in command, entered San Francisco bay through the Golden Gate, making the greatest naval spectacle ever seen on the Pacific coast, an event to which the people of California have looked forward ever since the battleships left Hampton Roads on their long cruise on Dec. 1 last. Conservative estimates are that half a million persons witnessed the entrance of the fleet from the various hills of San Francisco, not to mention hundreds of thousands who viewed it from the Oakland, Berkeley and Marine county shores. Admiral Evans has relinquished command of the fleet to Admiral Thomas, and is returning to Washington. Boy Laid Low By Booster Charles, the three-year-old son of Lincoln Horn, of Donaldson, Pa., was attacked by a game rooster and so badly injured that he lies in a critical condition. Little Charles was taken into the chicken yard by an older brother, while the latter fed the fowls. The game bird attacked the boy with his wings and beak and knocked him down, inflicting a deep scab wound, and then the rooster repeatedly plunged his spurs through the child's cheeks and temples, so that the little one's life is despaired of. Girl's Life Worth $1500 Fifteen hundred dollars is the price of a girl's life, as set by a jury in the Cumberland county court at Millville, N.J. In April of 1907 a huge brick stack fell at the glass works of the T. C. Wheaton company and killed Lyda Thurston, Lena Doughty and Sylvia Gallagher. Their parents brought damage suits. Witnesses testified that the stack leaned eight or nine inches and rocked in the wind. The jury deliberated a short time and awarded $1500 in each case. The Cynic. "I wonder if the people in Mars are speculating on whether this earth is inhabited by people of superior intelligence?" "No," answered Mr. Cumrox. "If they have any facilities for accurate observation they probably announce merely that this earth is populated, and let it go at that."—Washington Star. Infallible Signs. "That man," remarked the dog fan-catcher, as he pointed to a departing customer, "is a broker in Wall street." "How do you know?" asked a lounger in the place. "Because," replied the observant fan-catcher, "he bought a bull pup with a bare glance at the others."—Baltimore American. Too Inflammable. "Hiram?" asked Mrs. Medders, "you don't think there's any danger in wearing these celluloid combs, do you?" "There would be all kinds of danger in it for you, Alvira," said Mr. Medders. "Your hair is too red." At which simple remark, much to Hiram's astonishment, she flamed out. —Chicago Tribune. "What," asked St. Peter, "did you do when you were on earth?"

The prophecy seems to have come true that white serge will be more popular than white linen this summer. It is woven in, an excellent way, quite thin and soft, and the price is reasonable. It is not hard to get the cream shades, but it is difficult to get dead white; therefore, the majority of good suits are in the soft ivory white. Of course, stripes are in the serges as well as in every other fabric, but a plain suit of cream serge is more stylish than a plain suit of any other color. The black and white stripe is very smart, but the stripes should be almost gray and quite narrow. Black velvet collar and cuffs seem obvious, but really they are not in first style. Bright green velvet or silk, sapphire blue and leaf brown are used instead of the black. The turnover cuff has given place to the sleeve that flares over the hand without a cuff. This is slashed at the back and fastened up with buttons. The only touch of color on it is the binding, that must correspond with the collar. Another experiment in color combinations is to use a bone button in front and on sleeves to match color of the collar. A cream serge skirt without a stripe in it will have an emerald green velvet collar with buttons to match. It is better on youth than middle age. There is no objection to the black velvet collar and cuffs. They are worn and they will always be preferred to another color by many women. When combined with the plain cream or even the cream with the black stripe, they also give a chance for the vivid hats, belts and cravats that one wishes to wear. A blue or a green collar restricts one somewhat in the choice of colored accessories. NEW JABOTS ARE UNTRIMMED. Dainty Simplicity the Characteristic of the Present Modes. In striking contrast to the much-tucked and lace-trimmed neckwear worn during the winter is a new style of jabot the dainty simplicity of which carries us back to the days when a hemstitched frill was the correct finish for a man's linen shirt. The change from the trimmed neckwear to the plain is welcomed with a sense of relief after the quantities of real and imitation edgings that have Jabot of Fine Linen Sewn by Hand. been used to decorate collars, jabots and ties. The plain jabot, as shown in figure 2 is full and reaches below the bust, thus making a more generally becoming line than the longer jabot, which is also fashionable. At the throat it spreads in a dainty fan of sheer linen, narrowing as it continues down the waist. The introduction of this neckwear novelty suggests the possibility of hemsitting being revived for other dress accessories and trimmings. It has an air of daintiness and elegance which does not always go with more elaborate finishes. When it comes to laundering plain hemsitted jabots their real value is learned, for they can be done at home to look fresh and lovely, whereas many of the lace ones must be sent to the cleansers. Mohair Petticoats. First it was reported that taffeta might be rubberized; then pongee took kindly to the process, and now mohair has become water and dirt proof. This last is a great acquisition to enthusiastic motorists, for the material is light and cool, and at the same time it wears like wire. Pongee and silk may hold their places in the esteem of womankind for raincoats to be worn at social functions, but for driving, automobile and coaching mohair will be found superior. The prettiest coats are of white and many are made in models so charming that no one but the initiated would suspect them of being any more useful in a storm than a light and lacy opera coat. Clean Floors. The mother of small children who lets them creep around on the floor should be careful that those floors are kept scrupulously clean. It is not pleasant to think of the contamination that babies can pick up from particles of dirt lying about on carpets. Note how quickly even the bone and ivory rings that go in the mouth become soiled from being carelessly thrown down. If you cannot afford hardwood floors in the nursery, then by all means throw down a sheet before allowing baby to creep around. Insist, moreover, on each member of the family being particular to wipe his shoes carefully before entering the house. Mud brought in from the outside is more than a sign of poor housekeeping and danger to handsome carpets; it is a regular germ menace. Not Unnecessary "And the name is to be—?" asked the suave minister, as he approached the font with the precious armful of fat and flouces. "Augustus Philip Ferdinand Codrington Chesterfield Livingstone Smith." HEY LUNET SATURDAY.....MAY 16, 1907 MRS. GUINNESS DEAD MRS. GUINNESS DEAD Officials Believe Lamphere Killed Her and Fired the Housa AUTOPSY ON VICTIMS' BODIES Corner-Stone For Peace Temple Lalid. Big Fire at Atlanta — Rooster Attacks a Boy—Girl's Life Worth $1500—Tried to Cremate Wife. Mrs. Belle Guinness' farm at La Porte, Ind., failed to reveal any new mysteries, but progress was made towards solving the puzzles already involved in the homestead which has witnessed the tragic deaths of at least fourteen persons. Dr. J. H. William Meyer sent to the coroner his findings resulting from the autopsies of the bodies supposed to be those of Andrew Helgelein, of Mansfield, S. D., and Jennie Olsen, the foster daughter of Mrs. Guinness, who disappeared in 1906. Dr. Meyer's report declared that both had met unnatural deaths. In the case of the young woman the condition of the corpse precluded any possibility of determining the manner in which she was murdered. Decay, caused largely by lime, had destroyed the tissues so that the organs are scarcely susceptible to chemical analysis, and there is not enough flesh left to show evidence of wounds. The crumbling skull revealed none. Helgelein's body had been in the ground only a few months at most, and it gave evidence of a death struggle. The clenched hand, which contained hair, had been mutilated, and the other hand had been severed at the wrist. Of this body the official report says: "From the findings it is evident that the man died an unnatural death, but at whose hands or how cannot be determined by the examinations so far. The hair in the hand is likely from the head of his murderer, or the stomach may show poison, if any killed him." The conclusion of State Attorney Smith and the officers at work on the case is that the body at the Cutler morgue is that of Mrs. Guinness. They are believers in the theory that Ray Lamphere set fire to the house. The evidence which the state has in its possession tends to prove that Mrs. Guinness and her three children are dead, and that Ray Lamphere is guilty of their murder. $1,250,000 Fire at Atlanta, Ga Two solid business blocks of Atlanta, Ga., are in ruins as the result of a fire which threatened for a time to carry its destruction through the business section of the city and perhaps wipe out the entire downtown district. The fire loss may be conservatively estimated at $1,250,000. The Terminal hotel, one of the largest in the city, is a mass of ruins. It had on its register 200 guests when the fire started, a block away. Every one escaped. Mitchell street, from Madison avenue to Forsyth, was one great furnace, flames shooting across the street from either side, with falling walls everywhere, and danger to life and limb imminent, but the firemen stuck to their work, and did not draw back until they finally had to drop their hose and run for their lives as the last wall of the Pledmont Hat company came down, leaving a clear space across a whole block that where once was one of the business blocks of the city. The Negro Victim of Consumption. Dr. Charles B. Grandy spoke on "The Negro Consumptive" before the public health section of the national conference of charities and corrections at Richmond, Va. Nearly three times as many deaths from tuberculosis occur among negroes as among the whites of the United States, he said. It indicated that there is a physical predisposition, or lack of resistance, to tuberculosis in the negro, and that on account of mental defect the black man is unable to meet conditions of American city life which now faces him. Swarthmore or Quint Football. At a meeting of the student body of Swarthmore College announcement was made by President Swain that on the recommendation of the faculty committee on athletics it had determined to abandon football and basket ball intercollegiate games for a period of not less than one year.

Trying to cut birch with a heavy axe, the nine-year-old daughter of C B. Stake, the farmer, near Shippensburg Fa, chopped off the hand of her six year-old sister at the wrist. THE JURY SELECTED In Second Penna. Capitol Trial. Harrisburg, Pa. May 13. The jury in the second capitol contract conspiracy case has been selected, and James Scarlet opened the long-awaited trial for the commonwealth, showing what the state charges and what it expects to prove against the six defendants at the bar. The selection of the jury was accomplished in a little over two hours, and for the first time in the history of Dauphin county a colored man was selected as the first juror in an important case, becoming foreman, according to the custom followed here. The foreman is Samuel Cole, a reputable resident of Steelton. The other jurymen are: Samuel S. Dewalt, minor, Williams township. George C. Ebersole, farmer, Lower Paxton township. Thomas K. Rife, clock repairman, Harrisburg. Benjamin Ulmer, clerk, Middletown. John Barry, teamster, Elizabethville. Aaron Emanuel, moulder, Harrisburg. Dennis Croley, steel worker, Steelton. Isaac Ulrich, farmer, Penbrook. Franklin S. Anderson, solicitor, Harrisburg. John S. Miller, janitor, Harrisburg. David Brandt, Sr., laborer, Middletown. No application was made for severance. All of the defendants, including Architect Huston, were present with a formidable array of counsel. KILLED BY A POLICEMAN Wealthy Oil Man's Nephew Shot Wealthy Oil Man's Nephew Shot While Running Away After Fight. Altoona, Pa., May 13. — Chester Reigland, of the city, connected with one of the prominent families of western Pennsylvania, was shot and killed almost instantly by R. J. Werner, a policeman with whom he had quarreled. Reigland with three companions met the policeman about A. M., and were ordered to go to their homes by Werner. Later the policeman again met Reigland and a young man named Madden at Seventh avenue and Fifteenth street, and after again requesting them to go to their homes the men attacked him. In the rough and tumble fight that ensued Werner used his club to good effect and Reigland and Madden broke away and run. Werner called to them to stop and then shot, as he claims, to frighten them. The ball struck Reigland in the spine and he died on the sidewalk in two or three minutes. Reighard was thirty years old and leaves a wife and two children. He was a nephew of L. S. Reighard, one of Altoona's most prominent business men, and of D. P. Reighard, of Pittsburg, a millionaire oil man. WON'T TAKE SECOND PLACE Governor Hughes Would Not Serve As Vice President, If Elected Vice President If Elected. New York, May 13. — Governor Hughes will not accept the nomination for the vice presidency. This announcement is made in a letter from the governor to General Stewart L. Woodford. In his letter the governor says: "For reasons which are controlling and which leave no room for discussion, and though I would be deeply sensible of the honor thereby conferred, I should not be able to accept and would not in any contingency accept a nomination for the vice presidency, and even were I elected I could not serve." Opposed to Life Tenure of Bishops. Baltimore, May 13—A memorial presented to the Methodist Episcopal conference proposes that hereafter an election to the office of bishop shall be for a term of twelve years only, without re-election. It declares that "the life tenure of the episcopacy and the honors and emoluments of the office have begotten such a multiplicity of candidates as threatens the consecration and unity of our ministerial remarks."

OFFICER HEARS ODD SOUNDS Goes to Investigate and Is Greeted with Shower of Ladies' Wearing Apparel Followed by Gin-Filled "Gin." New York.—Of course any experienced playwright knows that the clitmax really comes in the third act, when Chin Kung Glg sits down on a hot heater in the Harlem police court and arises therefrom substantially at once and emits several loud, singed shrieks, but to begin at the beginning it should be stated that at six o'clock the other morning Policeman Lycurgus Hemmer was walking north on Broadway, near One Hundred and Ninety-fifth street. There are trees in this portion of our great city, and from a close-boughed cedar standing on a vacant lot Policeman Hemmer heard sounds emerging. The sounds were something like a dollar watch being wound up and something like the finish of a six-day hlcoughing contest and something like throwing an apple core in the monkey cage. So naturally Policeman Hemmer went over there and stood directly under the cedar trees and looked up. One of those felt slippers that turns up at the toe like a runner on a bob sled hit him in the mouth. Brushing the slipper out of his face with a careless gesture, Hemmer looked up into the tree again. The mate of the slipper was in the act of descending from an upper bough accompanied by a ladies' sweater, red, with large pearl buttons and a roll collar, a pair of long black tights, and uncoiled queue, an advance block straw hat and a small chrome-yellow Chinaman. The Chinaman was wearing all of these things except the second slipper. They all hit on Hemmer's chest in such a manner that he accompanied them south to Manhattan island, where he seated himself in a recumbent posture and recovered his breath. It was the Chinaman who opened the conversation. He spoke as follows: "Gin." "I knew that already," said Hemmer, "and not only gin, but if I'm any A man in a long coat and hat is climbing a tree, while a boy in a short coat and hat is standing below him. They are in a rural setting with a house and a fence in the background. Policeman Hemmer Heard Sounds Emerging. judge, beer and whisky straightts, and high wines and denatured alcohol and fusil oil, and Worcestershire sauce, and horse liniment, and hearth varnish, New Orleans molasses and wintergreen chewing gum. You have a breath like a bonded warehouse. What d'yne mean by trying to push a package like that up a tree?" The explanation wearled Hemmer, and, besides, he didn't understand any of it except that the Chinaman was named Chin; Kung Gin, and was a cook and lived at 20 Mott street; and, any way, Chin had a liquid style of conversational delivery like a seler siphon, and when he put his face close to Hemmer's and talked fast Hemmer felt as if he were taking the needle showers at a Turkish bath. So he rang for the wagon and they all went down to the West One Hundred and Fifty-second street station. In Harlem court Magistrate Kernochan told Gin that he (Gin) was the first drunken Chinaman he ever saw in his (Kernochan's) life, but that he (Gin) was drunk enough to make up for all the Chinamen he (Kernochan) ever saw that were sober. And Gin, through an interpreter, said the diagnosis was quite correct, and then he retired to the prison pen and sat down carelessly on the steam heater and got right up again, as already described, and patted himself on the reverse side. It is opined that while waiting for the second arraignment he will not be greatly discomposed if there should be only S. R. O. in the station house. But none of these things explain to Hemmer's satisfaction how Chin Kung Gin happened to be so far from Mott street, up a tree in Harlem with those clothes on and that package, at six o'clock in the morning. Or ever will. BABE'S AIM IS BAD, SO PARENTS ESCAPE BABE'S AIM IS BAD, SO PARENTS ESCAPE FIVE-YEAR-OLD GIRL KEEPS MOTHER AND FATHER DODGING BULLETS. Oakland, Me.—"Oh, papa, see me shoot," said five-year-old Doris Bailey to her father, Edmund Bailey, on Upper Fairfield street, as she walked into the dining room at breakfast time the other day. The child carried in her hand a revolver and as she spoke she pulled the trigger, as she had been shown how to do by Mr. Bailey a few hours before, when the weapon was unloaded. The revolver was pointed at Mr. Bailey, held tightly in the two chubby hands of the baby, "Bang," it went, and a bullet flew past Mr. Bailey's head. He ducked. Bang went the revolver again. This time A girl is being hit by a gun. Another girl is standing behind her, holding a knife. A man is standing behind them, holding a knife. "Oh, Papa, Watch Me Shoot," the bullet flew past Mrs. Bailey and she ducked also. One Saturday night recently Mr. Bailey purchased a revolver and a box of cartridges for burglaries. Sunday he sat down to overhaul and oil up the mechanism. He began finally to snap the hammer on empty chambers, much to the delight of his little five-year-old daughter Doris. At the request of the little one to "Do it again," Mr. Bailey repeated the trick and even showed the child how to pull the trigger. Then Mr. Bailey carefully loaded the gun and placed it on the chamber stand near the head of the bed in his room. Mr. Bailey tells of the shooting as follows: "My wife dodged and rolled around on the floor and so did I. I stumbled over chairs in an effort to get behind the child and so did my wife. Bang went a bullet into the top of the mirror; smash went another into the hanging lamp; biff went a third through that light of glass there; a fourth landed in the cover of the sewing machine, the fifth made a hole in the teakettle and the sixth and last hit my wife's work basket. "My wife and I both yelled to the child to stop, to drop the gun. When the ammunition was all exploded and she could make no more noise, Doris sat down on the floor and screamed with laughter." WHISKY AS SNAKE-BITE CURE German Emigrant Poura Liquor Down Big Rattler's Throat. Port Jervis, N. Y.—A German emig- grant employed by a farmer four miles above Lackawaxen, Pike county, Pa., was sent to a field the other day to remove stone preparatory to plowing. Before going to work his employer gave him a bottle of whisky, with instructions how to use it in case he should be bitten by a rattlesnake. Snakes infest the locality. The workman wore felt boots. He had been working until 10 a.m., when he saw a rattler sunning itself on a flat rock. He got his flask of whisky ready and then stuck out his foot to- ward the snake. The snake colled up and rattled. It jumped its length and buried its fangs in the man's felt boot. Grabbing the snake about the neck, the man poured a good drink down its throat and released it. The rattler was probably the most astonished snake in Pike county, and for a minute seemed dazed. Then, as the effects of the whisky worked upon its system, the snake began to strike at everything within reach. It would crawl backward, try to get into imaginary holes, and twist about. It struck itself several times in the body, but, as whisky is a preventive for snake bites, it had no effect. It acted as though suffering with a "jag," and the men left it, expecting it would soon die. About five o'clock in the afternoon they went back to see what had become of the snake. They were unable to find it at first, but finally discovered it at a spring from which it was drinking freely. At their approach the snake lifted its head and eyed them sadly, as though it considered that they had played a mean trick. New School Being Established NEW SCHOOL BEING ESTABLISHED The new school of commerce being established at Montreal will be conducted in French under the provincial government of Quebec, and as its superintendent the late principal of the Commercial university at Louvain, Belgium, has been chosen. The Chambre de Commerce, a French-Belgian and French-Canadian organization at Montreal, has been largely active in behalf of this new enterprise, which, it is expected, will raise the standard of education in the preparation of those aiming to enter business.

Fashioned in Cretonne, They Are Artistic and Attractive—Some Window Draperies in a High Degree Effective. Qualit lambrequins of flowered materials are in again after being out for a hundred years. They are wonderfully attractive, too, even in a richly furnished room, for cretonne is being made in some very artistic color effects now. Besides the advantage of lightness they do not require so many sets of sheer curtains inside. A single pair at each window with plain, straight side hangings of cretonne and a lambrequin to finish the top is quite enough for any room. Lambrequins may be straight across the top of the window. They may be plaited or be cut in three shaped scallops. One quaint fashion is to dispense entirely with any side drapery of cretonne, and to have the lambrequin form a panel at each side of the window top. Then between the two panels have the cretonne draped in a festoon a little shorter than the side pieces on the lower edge. For a straight across plaited lambrequin side curtains may be used or not, but if no side draperies are used then the lambrequin should be rather deep, perhaps a quarter the full length of the window. Much of the effectiveness of this window decoration depends on getting the right proportion for the drapery. Double box plaits laid close together and having the plaits shirred three inches below the top will make a graceful hanging. When more fullness is desired triple box plaits are used, and if gathers are not liked the plaits may be held in place with the a few rows of stitching and held to the pole or frame by under fastenings. A simpler way, which is attractive for bedroom drapery, is to have the side curtains quite plain, just a width of the cretonne used for each, and across the top have a deep valance of the cretonne hung on a rod with a narrow upstanding frill to finish the top. After it is put up the greater fullness of the valance may be pushed to the sides. Very often other curtains are omitted in rooms which have sash pieces or inside shutters. It looks prettier, however, to hang some thin lace or netting the full length of the window under the cretonne side draperies. Ruffled valances are both quaint and effective. They differ from the above only in having a separate frill two or three inches wide set on the edge of the valance proper. Sometimes this frill is trimmed with braid or gimp, or the whole valance itself may have a decoration. As a rule cretonne is decorative enough in itself to require nothing in the way of trimming to enhance its effect. In arras fabrics lambrequins are made on frames to fit over the top of the window or doors and to form a support for the side draperies. If curtains at the sides match the lambrequin then there should be the same decorative treatment used on both. Applique and stenol work show to advantage on the rough linen arras which is now so popular with mission furnishings. More About New Skirts. While the gored skirt is well-liked, the circular and circular gored sort show every sign of increasing vogue. Either style lends itself to the band trimmings, as well as to the newer, but no more attractive panel designs, and there is every indication that much liberty will be allowed in this connection throughout the summer. The tunic, thus far, is confined to formal costumes, but is frequently suggested—more or less vaguely—by the method of garniture. This means that a panel, or a series of panels, is sometimes crossed, or at least supplemented with a band, either of braid or of self-material, curved, and otherwise shaped to outline a tunic. And, again, it means that a plain skirt may have the bands so arranged that the skirt is, to all effects, in two parts. Exaggerated Spring Shapes And just as the feminine world is congratulating itself upon the sensible shapes of the new hats comes a whole host of freakish frames which exaggerate all the good lines of the advanced models. And some way women will surely prefer them, however much one may pray otherwise. The pretty little hat with medium brim and crown that came in first now shows the latter grown to such an extreme that it has quite swallowed up the brim bar an inch or so. Then, as if to emphasize the height and circumstances of the crown, a wide band of velvet is sewed around it. What a pity it is!—Philadelphia Ledger. Shoulder Trimming. Some of the new afternoon dresses are finished with bands of embroidery that meet in the back in a point at the line of the neck and extend over the shoulders, where they are loosely caught in the front and allowed to hang almost to the knees. These are usually made of fillet net heavily embroidered in gold or silver, or both, and they add a very festive touch to a costume otherwise devold of trimming. The idea is new and shows signs of being much elaborated as time goes on, for there is no end to the materials that might be used for the purpose: lace, chiffon, net, soft lace, tulle—what might not be employed? IN FAINTLY STRIPED TWEED. Walking Costume Designed for Girl of 14 to 16 Years of Age. Faintly striped tweed in two shades of grey is used for this costume, the skirt is trimmed near the foot with galloon the same shade as the darkest stripe. The little jacket is a favorite pattern with young girls; it is semifl A ting at the back, and loose in front fastening like a Chesterfield coat. The collar and cuffs are faced with velvet, edged with galloon. Straw hat, in a pretty shade of green, trimmed with large ribbon bow and a fancy buckle. Materials required: $5\frac{1}{2}$ yards 46 inches wide, $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards silk for lining jacket, four yards sateen for lining skirt, one-half yard velvet, five yards galloon. NEW IDEA FOR KNITTING Drawnwork Effect Is Always Pretty and Effective. A drawnwork effect in knitting is extremely pretty and effective and is sure to be appreciated. As an example of this new and showy style of knitting take a baby afghan knit in strips. Cast 40 stitches on a coarse steel knitting needle, with zephyr or German mantown yarn. Knit in squares, five stitches plain, five purled, for five rews. Reverse the plain and purled stitches so as to form plain and purled squares. When the strip is long enough, bind off, dropping every fifth stitch. Ravel every drop stitch down to the end. Then with an embroidery needle proceed to hemstitch each edge, or to take up five threads at a time, making a simple hour glass drawn work pattern. Any simple drawnwork design can be worked; the process is easy and the effect fine. Another pretty design is to knit plain and purl every alternate row, back and forth, and when the strip is long enough drop two stitches in the middle, thenravel to the end and hemstitch. Ruching Modish. Ruching has come back into popularity and all of the new collars are finished at the top with a little band of maline or chiffon. It is even used on a high-fitted lace collar or on a collar of the summer gulps. It is a very attractive fashion, which tends to preserve neatness and cleanliness in the attire; but it is also very tiresome to always have to change the ruchings every time a dress is worn, therefore it is a very good scheme, instead of sewing it on the collar, to fasten it around the neck alone and then when the collar is put on it looks as though it were sewn tightly to it. Another way, when bones are not used, is to baste the ruching to a piece of belting which is pinned around the neck; put the collar over this, fasten to the belting with a small pin, both front and back, and the collar will stay in place and be perfectly satisfactory. Cuffs for Blooses There is a great variety in the cuffs used on the blouses for the coming season. Sometimes they are of the stiff, masculine variety and sometimes they are turn-back, starched affairs; again, they are merely a ruffle and others are a band of embroidery, edged or not with lace, as may seem best to the dressmaker. Then, too, there are the mousquetaire or mitten cuffs of lace, which extend from a small puff in the elbow and closely cover the wrist and the knuckles of the hand. Oriental Silk Fabrics Orientala—Of pure silk in the individual weave of a smooth hand-made Oriental silk this copy of the best efforts of the looms of the far east is made with a high rich luster and a distinctive beauty of coloring that the occasional unevenness of surface accentuates. All the best colors are to be found in the long list of shades and the width is 27 inches; one dollar a yard. La Tosca Silk—This is a rough weave silk of the Shantung order, the finish on surface one of brilliance, and it is made in all the new fashionable shades. Inda—With the attractive surface of land-woven Chinese silks and dyed to have a permanent luster, that makes each of the many colors appear at their best; 27 inches in width—Vogue.

Are Much Utilized Just Now for Adornment of the Princess Frock—Come in Various Styles and Patterns. The little lace kimono with short sleeves is as useful a "set piece," if the term is permissible in relation to articles of attire, as one may possess. Just now it is being successfully utilized for the adornment of the princess frock. New frocks are made with the bolero idea in view, and old frocks are successfully remodeled with the help of this accessory. The jackets are sometimes fitted in and fas- A Princess Garniture. tened down to the bodice, as shown. But this is not always done. If the jacket fits well it is frequently used with loose edges so that the frock may be worn without it. Those little jackets are to be bead in the shops in many different styles and patterns of laces. If the design be good and the lace of good quality the kind does not matter much. A heavy lace may be used without further trimming, but very often the design of the jacket is embellished by embroidery in gold or colors or both. The embroidery may be of silk or of ribbon, chiffon, etc. The jacket is then frequently edged with a ball fringe or a gold fringe to match the embroidery. Quite an attractive effect is produced when the lace jacket is embroidered in the color of the costume. For instance, a pale blue princess frock with a lace bolero will have the design of the lace outlined with a heavy silk embroidery in blue or a delicate tracery of blue embroidery, accentuated here and there by deeper blues or gold. Sometimes the sole addition to the design of the lace consists in the embroidering of the centers of the lace flowers or the use of little tufts of colored satin for these flower centers. Some of the jackets to be worn with satin princess gowns or those of equally elaborate material have embroidery or spangles outlining or overlaying the design of the lace. If the jacket is fastened to the gown bands of spangled trimming will then be used to finish the jackets. When the gown with which the jacket is to be worn has a chemisette or yoke of lace there is no attempt to match the lace of the bolero. The chemisette collar and undersleeves may all be of the same lace, but quite different from the bolero, although naturally the design must either contrast effectively or be of the sort to harmonize well with that of the bolero. Artistic Trimming. A beautiful trimming that is possible for the girl who embroiders is made on bands of pale pink satin with trails of tiny roses and follage in different shades of pink and green crossing and recrossing to form a series of owl wreaths joined together. The bands may be any desired width and the embroidery should be done in Kensington stitch with the edges of the design slightly padded to give a raised effect. Wherever there is a turned-over petal it should be heavily padded and worked in satin stitch. If a soft satin is used it is better to baste the banding on tissue paper before working, or it may pull. Spring Styles In Shoes As the empire and classic styles keep supreme in the cut of women's garments, the buckled shoe is appropriate for the first time since its introduction several years ago. The bow of last year and the stiff pumps show signs of giving place to the slipper with Cuban heel and square gold buckle, while for evening dress, satin slippers are shown, trimmed with a single rhinestone button, which display the foot to the best advantage. It is yet too early to say whether brown shoes will be as popular for summer as they have been this winter, but they are always good style and very comfortable. New Hat Ribbons New hat ribbons show an immense white polka dot on deep colored backgrounds, such as dark red, navy blue, golden brown and green. Three yards will make a generous bow, with some to spare for draping the crown. The net bows, both plain and ring dotted, can be bought ready for adding to the hat all wired, and will cost less than three dollars. These are very pretty and airy-looking and just the thing to take the place of the velvet bow on a silk hat. Dangerous. Little Willie—I dream about my girl. Little Bessie—Do you? Little Willie—Yes.

SPITE FENCE IS ALSO IN IT Fowls Get Mixed and Each Accuses the Other of Unfairness—Wars Between Them Break Out Periodically. St. Louis.—A gray mule—her name is not Maude—a score of ducks of divers colors and a creek constitute the origin of a feud that exists between the houses of Jacob Grossman and Franz Conrad in Belleville. The war between these families breaks out periodically and always ends in a lawsuit. Ever since the Conrads accused the Grossmans of persecuting some of their ducks the embers of ennity have remained warm enough to be fanned into life on the least provocation. The families live on North Richland street in houses facing each other on opposite sides of the street. Through the opening of Caseyville avenue, which begins at the point where these two houses are situated, a triangular piece of ground was left vacant. The Grossmans live on the east side of the street and claim that part of the old street that is directly in front of their house. Where Caseyville avenue branches away from Richland street is a small triangular piece of ground claimed by the Conrads. Richland creek runs through the yards of both families. Several years ago ducks belonging to both families swam the surface of the creek. The ducks became mixed. Each family accused the other of taking ducks that did not belong to them. The war started. Grossman planted peach trees on the vacant lot in front of his house. When Mrs. Conrad tried to pull up some of these trees, she was whipped by Mrs. Grossman and Mrs. Grossman was fined. Then the Conrads conceived the spite fence revenge. A fence ten feet high and about 14 feet long was built by the Conrads on the eastern line of the triangular lot they claimed. This fence was across the street from the Conrad house and did not ob DONKEY Mrs. Conrad Was Whipped by Mrs. Grossman. struct their view except as to the Grossman house. The view from the Grossman house was more obstructed. In the meantime the ducks continued getting mixed up, and more lawsuits followed. After the ducks had occupied the center of the stage for several years the mule made her entrance. The mule wandered from the Conrad premises and was tempted when she saw tender peach blossom buds on the trees in front of the Grossman home. The mule ate the buds of the tree, and Mrs. Grossman drove her into the lot at the side of her house. When Grossman returned home he ordered the mule kept there until damages were forthcoming from Conrad. The Conrads sued for a writ of replevin against Mrs. Grossman for detaining the mule. Mrs. Grossman showed in court that it was her husband who was detaining the mule. The judge decided the Conrads would have to pay the costs of the suit. Some of the Grossman ducks swam into the Conrad premises, and Mrs. Grossman sent her son Victor to shoot them home. The Conrads would not allow Victor on the premises, and he had to walk around a block to find a place where he could shoof from. While he was shooting Christ Conrad, scolon of the Conrad house, said things to Victor which caused the latter to swear out a warrant against the latter for disturbing the peace. Christ pleaded guilty to that charge and paid his fine. He had Victor arrested for using vicious language. That case will be tried in Justice McCulloch's court. GIRL PUPIL PUNCHES NOSE OF HER TEACHER GIRL PUPIL PUNCHES NOSE OF HER TEACHER INSTRUCTOR TRYING TO CORRECT YOUNG NEGRESS RECEIVES SEVERE BEATING. St. Louis.—The negro school at Missouri Point, across the river from Alton, is closed. The teacher announced that she was going to whip Anna Hart, one of the pupils. She tried it, but Anna whipped her. The result is the closing of the school by order of the directors. The school was on its last legs, anyhow, the attendance being below the minimum required by law, and the directors did not see how it could continue in operation after a scholar had punched the nose of the teacher, Mary E. Roberts. Anna is a comely young negress, and was one of the oldest pupils in the school. She had a penchant for THE WOMEN'S SCHOOL Anna Landed on the Teacher's Cheek, eating apples and whispering during study and recitation time. Moral susasion failed to cure her and the teacher announced that she would try the rod. All the pupils sat up and took notice. As Anna walked forward to receive the promised whipping a sea of chocolate, tan and black faces watched her. The teacher lifted her switch and— biff! Anna landed on the teacher's cheek. Anna landed again, and again, and again, and the teacher went down. Anna persisted in beating a tattoo on the pedagogical face until the other pupils interfered and awarded her the decision. School was adjourned for the day. The directors met and the school was ordered closed forthwith. GIRL ACQUITTED OF "BATHING" Judge Decides She Did Not Shock Her Neighbors. Alton, Ill.-Did Marie Tisius take a bath in Mrs. Randolph Smith's kitchen? That was the question presented to 70-year-old Justice Ford in Upper Alton. If she did take a bath there with the kitchen window open, was she guilty of disturbing the peace of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Herrin, a young couple and next-door neighbors? That was another question presented by the testimony of the Herrins. Mr. Herrin said he observed Miss Tisius during her ablutions and saw a "narrow towel" hanging about her slender and graceful neck. Mrs. Herrin startled the court by declaring she called her husband to join in witnessing the near-by production of "Psyche at the Pool." Miss Tisius, who is only 20 years old, declared she was surprised at the Herrins' horrified statement. "I never wash anything in the kitchen except dishes," she asserted, with an angry怒 of her pretty head. The court stopped laughter by sternly announcing he was not conducting a vaudeville show. After pondering over the fact that the alleged open-window bathing took place in the cold days of mid-January, and that Mrs. Herrin called her husband to view the sight, he discharged the fair and blushing defendant. AUTO BREAKS INTO A HOUSE Hits Cow, and, of, Veering, Jams into the Parlor of a Jersey Farmer. Trenton, N. J.-While returning from Spring lake to Trenton a heavy touring car owned by Karl G. Roebling crashed into the farm house of W. J. Chinnick and wrecked several pieces of furniture in the parlor. The occupants of the car were Mr. and Mrs. Karl G. Roebling, Miss Emily Roebling and the driver, John Roup. The latter was the only one injured. He was cut over the eye. The accident was due to a combination of circumstances. About a hundred feet from the Chinnick farmhouse the party encountered a herd of cows being driven to a slaughter house. The driver turned aside for one animal and found another directly in the path of the fast-going car. The second cow was struck, and the compact turned the steering gear and headed the car directly for the house. It passed through a thick hedge between two oak trees and didn't stop until the front part had been jammed into the parlor of the house. The party was driven to this city, and it took a force of men and two automobiles several hours to drag the car out of the house. It was badly damaged. Two Glivers. Bridget—Please, mum.

A. E. Robinson, 3895 Luck Building, Detroit, Michigan. ATHLETICS. "So this is your athletic club," said the stranger as he and the prominent citizen passed in front of a splendid-looking building. "It certainly is a fine place. Are you a member?" "Yes. I would like to show you through it. Let us go inside. Here," he explained after they had checked their hats, "is the barber-shop. We will now pass through to the swimming pool." "Fine! Beautiful!" exclaimed the stranger as they gazed down into the blue, filtered water. He was then conducted through the Turkish bath section and from there they went to the grillroom. Then they passed on to the billiard-room and the bowling alleys. After that they looked into one of the private dining-rooms, then they peeled out of the ladies' section; next they had a view of the main dining-room, and they passed from there to the library. All these departments were full of people, and the stranger was greatly impressed. Finally the prominent citizen said: "Come, let us look into the gymnasium." "Ah," the stranger replied, "of course—by all means. I suppose you must have a magnificent gym. Everything is so fine. It must be great to belong to an athletic club of this kind. I shall greatly enjoy seeing them perform. Well, well, well! It is certainly a marvel—everything imaginable to—but where are the athletes? Your gymnasium is empty. What's the matter? Are the members not permitted to use it at this time of the day or—" "Oh yes, it's open all the time, but we utilize it mostly for dances and entertainments at which we have professional performers." Then the stranger turned sadly away, saying, with a sigh: "What a shame it is that some of the boys who are practicing in hay lofts and attics to be circus performers can't be turned loose here, just to keep things from being spoiled through lack of use."—S. E. Kiser, in Chicago Record-Herald. Cause and Effect "In looking out of doors, do you notice how bright is the green of the grass and the leaves?" asked an elderly gentleman of a little girl, whose home he was visiting. "Yes, sir." "Why does it appear so much brighter at this time?" he next asked, looking down upon the bright, sweet face with tender interest. "Because ma has cleaned the window, and you can see out better," she said—Royal Magazine. PHILANTHROPY UP TO DATE A The Man—When Mr. Carey died he left all he had to the orphan asylum.
