THE RICHMOND PLANET Republicans Triumphant. They Sweep the Country. A GREAT VICTORY!! THE NEXT CONGRESS OVERWHELMINGLY REPUBLICAN. VOLUME XXV. NUMBER 49 Repub AG THE NEX Some Gul WILLIAM H. TAYT The Republicans have swept the country, electing Hon. William H. Taft of Ohio and Hon. James S. Sherman of New York, President and Vice-President of the United States. At this writing the Republican nominee appears to have 309 votes in the electoral college and the Democratic nominees, 174. CONGRESS IS REPUBLICAN The Republican majority in Congress will in all probability be greater than it is at present. The returns show that it will have 211 Republicans and 169 Democrats. There are 11 districts not yet reported. The Republicans have carried the Fifth and Ninth Virginia Districts. NEW YORK IS REPUBLICAN New York City, the Democratic stronghold, yet the plurality there was so small that when combined with the borough of Brooklyn, Great New York gave Mr. Taft a plurality of 15, 645 and the state gave him a plurality of 202,000. Gov. Hughes, the Republican candidate for Governor carried the state by a plurality of 69,819, running 132,181 votes behind the national ticket. This was on account of the antagonism aroused against him on account of opposition to race-tracks in the Empire State. New York has a colored vote of 39,908. The legislature is overwhelmingly Republican. The Republicans elected 26 out of 37 Congressmen. PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICAN TOO Pennsylvania went Republican by 300,000. The loss of the Democrats was even greater than ever before. The Republicans elected 27 out of 32 Congressmen. There is great rejoicing in this state. The colored vote in this state numbers 53,757. REPUBLICANS CLAIM MARYLAND TOO. The Republicans at this writing cialm Maryland, in spite of the disfranchising laws enacted by the Democrats in order to keep it out of the Republican column. The Republi-cans elected 2 out of 6 Congressmen. The vote on the national ticket is so close that the official count will be required to decide it. The colored vote in Maryland is 60,924, but this has been cut down by the disfranchis- ing legislation. WEST VIRGINIA IS REPUBLICAN West Virginia elects a Republican Governor and legislature and the state is for Taft. The Democrats in this state put up a platform in favor of disfranchising colored men and "Jim Crow" cars in the commonwealth. There is great rejoicing among the colored folks of West Virginia. The colored vote in the State numbers 14,841. The Republicans have elected all 4 Congressmen. All of the Negro Democrats in the state rallied under the Taft banner, or slept the sleep of the unjust on election day. MISSOURI CLAIMED TOO. Missouri elected a Republican Governor and the indications are that Taft carried the state. The Republicans elected 5 out of 13 Congressmen. The legislature appears to be Democratic. The last census report gives the colored vote as 46,887. INDIANA REPUBLICAN AND DEM OCRATIC TOO Indiana gave Mr. Taft a plurality of 15,000, but elected n. Democratic Governor and legislature. The Republicans elected 2 Congressmen out of 13. The legislature is in doubt with chances in favor of the Democrats. OHIO REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC. Ohio gave Taft a plurality of 50, 000 and at the same time defeated Gov. Harris, Republican and elected Harmon Governor. The legislature is in doubt with indications that it will be slightly Republican on joint ballot and thus assuring a Republican successor to Senator J. B. Foraker. If the legislature is close the friends of Senator Foraker will control the situation as no Republican can be named without their votes. The Republicans elected 11 out of 18 Congressmen. The colored vote is 31, 624. ILLINOIS STRONGLY REPUBLICAN Illinois went Republican by 75,000 electing both the state and national tickets. The Republicans elected 19 out of 25 Congressmen. The colored vote is 31.247. IDAHO IS CLAIMED TOO. The Republicans are claiming Idaho on the state and national tickets. The legislature is Republican. All of the Congressmen elected are Republicans. MONTANA REPUBLICAN. TOO. Montana went Republican by 2000 plurality. The Republicans claim everything, but the Democrats say the Governorship is in doubt. The Republicans elected the Congressman COLOR DO IS DEMOCRATIC. The latest returns show Colorado to be Democratic. The Democrats are also claiming the legislature. The Republicans elected one Con- WILLIAM H. TAFT ELECTED TWENTY SEVENTH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES greesman. The colored vote is 4. 092. WYOMING IN LINE Wyoming went Republican by 5 000. The Republicans elected one Congressman. MINNESOTA REPUBLICAN Minnesota went Republican by 80, 000 but strange to say re-elected Gov. Johnson, Democrat by 20,000 plurality. The legislature is Republican and the Republicans elected 8 out of 9 Congressmen. Gov. Johnson was Mr. Bryan's antagonist for the Presidential nomination at Denver. The colored vote is 4.410. WASHINGTON IS REPUBLICAN. Washington went Republican by a plurality of more than 40,000 and elected the Republican Governor by over 25,000. Three Republican Congressmen were elected. CALIFORNIA SECONDS THE MOTION California went Republican by 75, 000. The Republicans claim the lege- islature. 8 Republican Congressmen were elected. MICHIGAN GOES TOO Michigan went Republican by 120, 000. The Republicans claim the Gov ernorship. The Republicans elected 12 Congressmen. DELAWARE SPEAKS UP Delaware went Republican by 600. The Republicans elected Congressman. NEW JERSEY REPUBLICAN. New Jersey went Republican by 65,900. The Republicans swept the state, electing 7 out of 10 Congressmen. The colored vote is 22,858. IOWA LINES UP. Iowa went Republican by 57,000 plurality. The legislature is overwhelmingly Republican. Gov. Cummings will be elected United States Senator. The Republicans elected 10 out of 11 Congressmen. WISCONSIN SAYS YES, TOO. Wisconsin went Republican by a plurality of 75,000. The Republicans elected 10 out of 11 Congressmen. SOUTH DAKOTA IN LINE. South Dakota went Republican by 23,000. Republican Governor was elected and the Republicans elected 2 Congressmen. UTAH IS REPUBLICAN Utah went Republican by 15,000 plurality on the national ticket. The state ticket was elected by 80,000 plurality. The Republicans elected 1 Congressman. KANSAS REPUBLICAN TOO Kansas went Republican by over 22,000 plurality. The legislature is Republican. The Republicans elected 8 Congressmen and everybody in the Republican camp seems to be happy. VIRGINIA Virginia gave a Democratic plurality of 30,000 for Mr. Bryan. The election or Congressman C. Bascom Slemp in the 9th District is conceded. His plurality is nearly 4,000. Later reports indicate that State Senator J. M. Parsons, (Republican) has defeated his Democratic antagonist, Judge E. W. Saunders for Congress. RICHMOND CITY The spirited fight made in this city led many to claim that the Republicans would poll 1500 votes in Richmond. The entire business district was in favor of Judge Taft, A large, handsome, costly banner with the pictures of William H. Taft and James S. Sherman was stretched across Tenth and Main Sts., the heart of the business section. Leading bankers and business men worked to promote the election of the Republican ticket, urging their colleagues to break party ties and enlist under the banner of Republicanism, which means prosperity for the country. INCREASE EVIDENT. BUT NOT SATISFACTORY. Out of a possible vote of 14,286, Bryan received 4,123; Taft, 1,145; Lamb (Democrat), 4,510; and Luce (Republican), 981. This demon- strates that at least 9,500 white men disfranchised themselves by refusing to vote and were therefore on a par with those disfranchised colored men, who were not permitted to vote. The Republicans carried the First Precinct of Henry Ward. The Republicans carried the following counties in Virginia: Allegheny, Buchan- an, Carroll, Floyd, Grayson, Greene, Highland, Page, Patrick, Pulaski, PRICE. FIVE CENTS UNTRY. Y!! BLICAN. Virginia. JAMES S. SHERMAN. Russell, Scott, Shenandoah, Smyth, Southampton and Wythe. RETURNS DISPLAYED The Richmond, Va. Evening Journal had a stereotypical display on Broad Street and the returns were shown early. Some one manipulated the megaphone. When bad news for the Democrats was given out and states had gone Republican, he asked "Do you believe it?" The response was, "No! No!" By eleven o'clock everything seemed bad news and hundreds of disgusted Democrats sought the privacy of their homes, where they could sleep off the feeling that was inexpressible in plain language. COLORED FOLKS THERE... In the Capitol Square, thousands had gathered to see the fine display of the Times-Dispatch. Hundreds of colored people, silent and inexpressive watched the returns with grim satisfaction. They had not been permitted to vote; but they looked at the anguish of the Bryanites with grim satisfaction. Hundreds of white people would not believe that Mr. Bryan had been defeated until the bullets plainly anounced the fact, although keen observers were able to figure out Republican success as soon as the returns from New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio had been announced. MRr BRYAN SUPREME IN NE- BRASKA. Mr. Bryan carried his own state this time and by a majority that was flattering. There are many prominent anti-Bryan Democrats who supported Mr. Taft and they have viewed the result with evident satisfaction. Notice! Brother S. H. Wise will conduct services at Macedonia Baptist, Sunday, November 8, 1908 at 8 o'clock P. M. All are cordially invited. REV. A. B. SMITH, Pastor. Subscribe to The PLANET. THE SEVENTH PERSON BY BEN M'CUTCHEON COPYRIGHT 1906 BY DODD MORRIS COMPANY TWO CHAPTER I.-Gerard Chambers, son of a wealthy importer and a student at an eastern college, was awarded a member's award from the Gemini asteret organization, founded by Rodney Graves.

Fundor capital of Urania, was attacked. Chambers was made much of. By that time Marina was given up as dead. CHAPTER XIII-Jerry was given a big reception by the Uranian public and Honor. Honor. He then called for Havana to offer a reward to Mexico City for further instructions. CHAPTER XIV-Capt. Chambers was bonized aboard the steamer. He met Benor Lopez, a wealthy Uranian, and his ship encountered a terrible storm when he was being feted. CHAPTER XV-The steamer was dashed on the rocks, nearby browning. Jerry saved himself and Benor Lopez, by clinging to a mast. Girl's strange actions caused him to expel the belief that she was demented. CHAPTER XVI—After a long time on the rocks the party were rescued and himself too late to catch a boat found himself too late to catch a boat found himself. He recognized Marina Bostos, a passenger of a yacht sailing immediately for Kobe. By a ruse he gained the deck. CHAPTER XVII—Chambers was granted the prize for the most successful in Cruz. He discovered that Marina was being held a prisoner on board, the pretense being that she was demented. CHAPTER XVIII—Jerry successfully pretended the prize was possible in Marina, which plotted her. He wrote her a note and confided the American engineer, who promised aid. CHAPTER XIX—The plotters took Marina into Vera Cruz, secretly, Jerry following by swimming, after he had knocked senseless the captain of the Ship. She was caught hurry to Mexico City within few hours he left the engineer to resume the chase. CHAPTER XX-Jerry reached Mexico City in time to receive letter of instruction and successfully trailed Marina's subductors and secured their plans. He then wired Chambers.

CHAPTER XXV. -Jose gave them a partial knowledge of the location of the lost knowledge. Their efforts were unsuccessful, however, they were given permission for provisions. While he was away and Jerry was exploring, Yaquil Indians camped the camp. Jerry was stricken with fever. CHAPTER XXVI. -Mike returned, finding Chambers delirious with fever. He nursed him back to health. By trailing one of the plotters they found Marina in after overcoming all of the abductors. CHAPTER XXVII. The Lone Searcher "What did little Mikey tell you, Tommy?" said the big Mike, in a tone of triumph. "I knew you'd get her some time." The shock had been too much for Marina, and she fainted in Jerry's arms. He carried her out into the open air, Mike following with the bound woman, whom he set down at the side of the squirming Felipe. He then ran down to where Andre and Riaz lay. Andre still was unconscious, but Riaz' eyes were open and he was trying to release himself. "You fellows must be lonesome down here. You're invited to join a little party up farther," and the next moment he was dragging the men after him, a coat collar in each strong hand. He placed the three men and the woman side by side and, standing off a few feet surveying them, he laughed as only a great, big-lunged Irishman can laugh. Mike's whisky bottle was brought into service, and it was not long before Marina's eyes were open. Jerry gently lifted her head to his knee and impressed a kiss to her lips. "Go on, Tommy; I won't look," snuckered Mike. "I've got something pretty good to look at myself." Felipe's face gave evidence of great fear, and Mike determined to try him out. He took the gag from his mouth and sald: "See here, you yellow divil, we've got you and got you good. Tell me what you know — everything you know, and it might go easier with you. What's in that cave?" For a moment Felipe was silent, but the fierce flashing eyes of the big captor cowed him completely. "What will you do for me?" he asked. "You tell me and I'll tell you what I'll do, and if you don't tell me, you'll soon see what it'll do. Now, come on —quick!" "A counterfeit plant." "Is that all?" "Yes." "You're a yellow divil of a liar!" Mike did not know why he said this. "There are three skeletons." "Where?" "In one of the smaller rooms." "Which room?" "Where she was found," indicating Marina. "You heartless devil!" cried Jerry, his hands clenching and his eyes blazing viciously. He started to rise, but Mike told him to sit still. "And this is the way you treat a woman, eh?" said Mike. Felipe dropped his eyes. "Now, what would you say if I was to chock you back in that room and turn out all the lights and lock the door?" Felipe trembled. By this time Andre was squirming, and Mike went on: "Ah, ha; another county heard from! Felipe, you are a civil, but 'Andy' here's six divils in one. He actually made an effort to resist us down the trail. Isn't he the fearless lad, though? But." and his voice was stern and ominous, "he'll get all that's comin' to him, with interest. Let General Bostos lay hands on him!" "But you are not going to turn me over to Bostos?" cried Felipe. "Where were you to have received the ransom from him?" Mike asked. "That had not been settled on definitely." "How much did you demand?" "Two hundred thousand dollars." "Whee! You didn't want much! Now, what are you willin' to pay us to be a little merciful?" "Anything—everything! I'll pay you—" "You miserable puppy, you'll pay what General Bostos demands," roared Mike. "The soldiers will shoot you down like the dog you are, and that would be too easy for you. They ought to take you and 'Andy' and that once-on-a-time 'whiskers' here and string you up by the thumbs till you're dead. Tell me who you are." "Fellipe Brazual, so help me God!" Felipe Biazat, so help me God! "And pretty 'Wille' over there," pointing to Andre, "what's his name?" "Andre Callara." "What!!" exclaimed Mike. "Is he the divil that's stirred up all Europe with his counterfeiting games?" Felipe nodded his head and qualled under the vicious glare from Andre's eyes. "Every country in Europe, Tommy," said Mike, "offers an immense reward for the capture of this fellow 'Andy.' Damned if this ain't the biggest catch o' the season." Riaz' faithful burro had wandered up to the cave with the heavy load of provisions, and Mike immediately relieved it of the burden. He lost no time in opening the sacks, which contained wines and many dellacacies. "Why, Tommy," he said, "we can sort o' celebrate the occasion fittin'ly; and won't it be nice for them to look on?" "What shall we do now, Mike?" Jerry asked. "We must keep a lookout for the 'cops', and it's just as well that we stay right around here till it's light enough to travel safely." Mike relieved the men of their revolvers and took the dagger from the woman and then removed the gags. The first thing Andre did was to subject Felipe to a withering fire of oaths and swear that he would have his life. "Now, here, 'Andy', old boy," said Mike. "there's at least one lady present, and you've got to cut out all that nasty talk. If you say another word on goes the muzzle again." Andre knew that he meant what he said, and he was sullenly quiet thereafter. When daylight came Marina was much stronger, and after drinking some of the high-grade coffee procured by Rizas in Ojito the day before, Jerry and she walked to a spot a little way down the mountain side, where they sat down. "Marina, that note told all," said Jerry, drawing her head close to his, "and that kiss you impressed on my hand through the porthole was your confession." There was another kiss—a kiss that sealed a compact. After he had told her how he had come to find her she related her experiences from the time she left the ranchman's home in charge, of the dead body of Capt. Pilaro. "The government's men at first started to take us back to their own ranks," she said, "but one of them suggested that we be taken to Barcelodia, and that I be held until a ransom was paid for my restoration. It was in Barcelodia that my captors met Andre and Fellipe, who gave them a big sum of money to turn me over THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA to them. A story came out that I had been spirited to Barcedola, and at one time the police were very close upon us. They kept me in seclusion, however, for weeks, when they decided to take me to Havana, there to make their demand. On the Pardacina they figured that it would be dangerous to be seen with me in Havana, for my picture had been printed in the newspapers there. Fellipe's fear was responsible for the hurried passage to Vera Cruz, thence to this place, where I have been for weeks. "Riaz operated with Andre in great counterfeiting schemes in Madrid and Paris, and it was in Madrid that the police almost succeeded in capturing Felipe, who had joined Andre only a short time before. They were forced to leave Spain, and they came to Havana, from where Riaz, a Mexican by birth, came to these mountains and began to counterfeit gold coins. The plan of Andre was to circulate the spurious money in the northern part of the country and to keep me captive until they were ready to sail for Japan. Felipe, however, insisted that my father be asked for the ransom without delay, and Andre communicated with him to the effect that I would be turned over to him at a point near Paloma, which is not difficult to reach from here, the Florida river, flowing near the village, rising only 15 or 20 miles from here. Father came as soon as he could to Mexico, and another day or so would have found me back in his care, and—" "Your father had decided to have the authorities search for you," said Jerry; "and if we had not met Rizz in the trail last night and followed him here they would in all probability have succeeded in getting away. You might have been lost to me forever." "They had planned to kill me before they would turn me over without Late that afternoon five or six rurals came down the trail on horses. Mike met them at the intersection of the trails and led them to where the four captives lay on the ground. The cave was searched, and a complete counterfeiting outfit and much of the spurious coin was found. The leader of the rurals charged the kidnappers with murder after he had discovered the skeletons in the room in which Jerry found Marina, but the men swore that the bones were there when they first reached the cave, and that they must have been the remains of prospectors who had been slain by the Yaqui Indians. The prisoners were taken back to Ojito, Marina, Jerry and Mike bringing up the rear of the little procession. At the mining village an engine and a coach were immediately pressed into service, and a short time later Marina was in the arms of Gen. Bostos at the station in Parral. She was taken to a hospital to regain her strength before proceeding to San Diego, Cal., where the general intended that she should remain until the following spring. "And the brave men who rescued you," said the general, in the presence of Jerry and Mike, "shall be rewarded. They shall go to the Pacific coast, too, and remain until they are ready to leave. This is not the first time that Capt. Chambers has shown his bravery, and—" "Capt. Chambers?" said Mike, in a bewildered way, looking at Jerry, "And your name ain't Tommy Flannery." "I am Jerry Chambers," smiled the son of Gemini. "Well, what do you think o' that!" It was decided to keep Marina in the Parral hospital for a day before proceeding to El Paso, where a train would be taken for the coast town. "Well, this is better than huntin' for the end o' the rainbow down there where they burn camps and scatter skeletons around," said Mike, when he and Jerry were alone in the hotel that night. "But we're not going to give up the hunt, Mike!" said Jerry, who qualified under remembrance of the instructions from The Gemini. "Good hivin, Tommy—I mean Jerry, you don't think for the little end of a A "Jerry," She Pleaded, "You Must Not Go from Me Now." minute that you're goin' back there again, do you? "That I am, Michael O'Connor, even if I have to go alone." "Well, you're both the doctor and the patient in this case, lad. I said I'd stick till we got the girl, and I've kept my word like a little man; but I didn't say I'd stick till we found the end of a rainbow. I am not going back to that mountain." Mike O'Connor proved his earnestness by accepting Gen. Bostos' invitation to accompany him and Marina to the coast town, and Jerry almost collapsed at the thought of returning alone to the mountains and wildernesses. He still had ten days in which to hunt for the hidden treasure and reach El Paso. If a man was ever tempted not to do that which was expected of him Jerry Chambers was that man. But the next morning early he was holding the hand of the stupefied Ma Let the PLANET do your Job-work. Rina in parting. "Jerry," she pleaded, "you must not go from me now." As he looked into her big blue eyes he wavered, but that "something" which he never was able to explain brought his teeth together in determination. "I must, sweetheart," he managed to say, looking away from her. "Jerry, you don't love—" "Don't say that," he cried. "I love you better than all the world, and some day you shall know everything. I shall be with you in El Paso before ten days are gone." A few minutes later he was on a burro headed for the trail to the red-topped mountain, his heart heavy in gloom, his eyes dimmed by tears. CHAPTER XXVIII. Fourteen Night's early shades found Jerry Chambers once more at the camp on the side of the red-topped mountain. He never before realized how vast the province of fear was until he found himself alone in that black, untamed wilderness, and his spirit of purpose was cold in the contemplation of possibilities. For six days he searched with all the earnestness of his soul for a lead to the lost San Dimas gold mine, but his efforts only went further to increase his discouragement. He tramped so far and labored so hard that he had become almost physically unable to continue the hunt. He explored into every fissure, every crevasse that he came upon, but nowhere could he find a suggestion of the number the old man of the adobe had given him just before he breathed his last. He decided to spend one day in searching and then return to Ojito, whence he could depart for Parral and have plenty of time to catch a train for El Paso. The seventh day brought no better luck, but when the gray dawn of the eighth came his happiness scarcely knew bounds. His last night on the wild mountain had been spent! He sang merrily as he heft the camp and most of the provisions to their fate and led his faithful burro down to the trail. "By evening I will be back in Ojito," he said to his exultant self, "and I can get to Parral in plenty of time without running my legs off and losing pounds in cold perspiration." His railroad time table showed that he could arrive in El Paso early in the morning of the tenth day—the 19th of September. He mounted the burro at the base of the mountain and, waving his hat, sang a farewell to the little camp near the brooklet. He drew up at the red standstone in the trail and addressed it as follows: "You are here, just as the old man said you would be here—right in the middle of the path, but you keep his secret. I'm glad to have met you, anyway, and not a bit sorry to leave you and everything around you. Take care of yourself, old reddy, and continue to keep the old fellow's secret a million years, for all I care." He got off the burro and took his knife from his pocket. "I'll just clip off a piece of your secretive self and carry it back for a keepsake." As he pried a piece of the rock loose his eyes fell upon the print of a bare foot at the edge of the trail. He dropped the knife and found another print. In a moment he was at the edge of the dense undergrowth. "Well, well," he muttered; "this is interesting!" He picked his way into the thicket for a few feet and was surprised to find the tall grass beaten into a pathway. He followed this path for a short distance and found himself on a sandy trail, ziggagging towards the base of the mountain. His excitement was approaching feverheat, and he started to run. At the end of 100 yards he came to a pile of rocks, where the trail ended. He found a small opening in the rocks and crawled through, only to find himself in total darkness. He hastened back to the burro and got his lantern, retracing his steps as fast as his weary legs would carry him. He went under, over and between the rocks for 20 or 30 feet, when he came to a cavern in which he could stand at full height. The light was thrown on every ledge, but nowhere was there a sign of "14." He kept on and on, until he calculated that he must have gone 50 yards from the opening. Every few feet he made a mark with a piece of keel, so that he could trace his way back to the open air. He finally came to an intersection of two passageways and turned into the one at his left. He went down it until he found himself confronted by impassable barriers. He retrained his steps, and, to a surprise that chilled him, he soon found himself in an unfamiliar corridor. He tried to get out of it, but instead wandered into still another passageway that bore none of his keel marks. His mind was in a whirl now, and he could not recover his bearings. "My God!" he gasped; "I'm lost!" His strength almost forsook him as he thought of the possibility that he might never reach the open, but his desperation spurred him on. He went back over what he thought was the way he had come—walking, crawling, climbing for what he thought must be hundreds of yards. Finally he found himself in the almost stifling vapor of a hot spring. When he reached another avenue he sank to the ground in collapse. His strength had deserted him, and if his very life had depended on his moving ten yards at the moment it is probable that it would have been forfeited. After an hour, however, he was sufficiently restrethened to continue, and he also discovered that he was intensely hungry. He pulled out his watch for the first time and almost falted when he saw that it was a few minutes after three o'clock. On and on he plunged and stumbled until he reached another avenue, at the end of which was a tiny speck of light. "I'm saved! I'm saved!" he cried in an ecstasy of joy, and he ran towards the light. He had not covered many feet when he tripped over a plank and went sprawling to the damp ground. He stopped and turned his light to the left. He saw the end of an artificially made lead, and his excitement rose so high that he scarcely could control himself. He stuck his head into the opening and held up the lantern. "Fourteen!" he cried, for there, on a ledge, was the old man's number crudely scratched. "I've found it! I've found the San Dimas mine!" He went into the channel for a few yards and had his hopes further heightened by finding a pick and a small sack. His knife soon had ripped a hole in the sack. "Gold!" he exclaimed, his blazing, flashing eyes feasting on a small heap of nuggets. He took the pick and started on, but he had not gone far before he dropped it and snatched out his watch. "Great heavens!" he gasped. "It will take every minute of my time to reach Ojito if I'm to catch the train for Parral! What shall I do? I must get that train or I'll not reach El Paso in time! I'll let the train go, and—" But the next instant his hat was on his head, and, stopping only long enough to grab up a handful of the precious nuggets, he was running towards the speck of light in the distance. Darkness overtook him before he had gone far over the trail, but the faithful burro was urged along the dangerous cliffs as it never before had been urged. Ojito was reached soon after sunrise, and Jerry barely had time to give his animal away and catch the rear end of the last car of the two-coach train for Parral. A few hours later this son of Gemini was speeding northward towards El Paso, his happiness reaching to the skies, his spirits as light as a feather. CHAPTER XXIX Emanuel Fosgate Delivers an En- velope. The train came to a stop at the station in El Paso three hours before the appointed noon. "What next? What next?" went through Jerry's mind as he left the train and went to the station lunchroom. As he ate a hearty meal he wondered why he had not been met by either Mike O'Connor or Marina; but a second thought told him that he had forgotten to telegraph either of them. "Chump!" he childingly mused; and they told me they would stay at the Hotel Houston until I came or wired. I guess there was altogether too much gold mine on my mind." After the meal he went to a clothing store and bought a suit of clothes, new undergarments, a shirt immaculately white, a hobby straw hat, a pair of tan shoes and a collar and a necktie. Then he went to a bathhouse, from which, in due season, he emerged the picture of a complete transformation. Finishing up with a shave and a haircut, he went to the hotel. Mike O'Connor, quite as complete a transformation, was seated near a window curling lazzy rings of smoke in the air. Jerry approached him from behind. "Are you a Vaquita?" he asked. "Tommy—Jerry, my lad!" exclaimed the big Irishman, surveying him with admiring eyes; "and if you don't look respectable! Tell me all about it, lad. What did you find?" Jerry said nothing, but held out the nuggets. "What," cried Mike, his voice being loud enough to attract the attention of everybody in the room. "Did you finally locate it?" "For a certainty, Mr. M. Aloyssus O'Connor," answered Jerry. "I found the number. But, wow, what an experience!" "Jerry, I thought you was a fool when you determined to go back to that red-headed mountain again, but I guess you knew your business. You deserve everything you found, if it was a pile of gold as big as the mountain itself." "It's to be halver and halver, Mike, old man," said Jerry, "and one of these days I'll lead you right to old fourteen, and then, when the time is ripe, we'll put up a monument to old Jose and his dog." "You don't mean it, Jerry; you can't mean that you're goin' to share with me what—" "Nor would I, Mike—under normal conditions. But I did go back and I found the mine." "When are you goln' back?" Jerry looked at his watch. The time was 11 o'clock. "I must see Marina first, Mike," said he, "and then I have a little business to look after up on Montezuma street, wherever that is. I can tell you more after I have attended to this business." "I'll wait for you right here," said Mike. "The little girl has been in bed a good deal of the time since our arrival—nothing serious, you know, but a sort of reaction. I think she's worried herself sick about you. About 700 times a day she asks what I've heard from Jerry. It's just Jerry this and Jerry that from sunrise to sunset. You needn't fear how you stand there, lad. You'd better mosey up to her parlor right away. When you get there" with a significant little twinkle—"tell the general I want to see him down here in two jiffies." A few minutes later Jerry was alone with the woman he loved. His only explanation to her was that his "affair of business" had been satisfactorily attended to. "But, Jerry, why don't you tell me all?" she asked. "Really, dear, I like you to be curious," he laughed. "I am going to explain everything some day, and then you'll love me all the more. Everything I have accomplished will be as much for you as for myself, and, if my luck doesn't desert me, you'll be very proud of me in time. Let me keep you guessing a little longer. It will be great fun; but don't lose your mind trying to find out what I am doing. Just keep interested, that's all." Jerry was lost to everything but the girl whose head rested on his shoulder. The ticking of the little clock on the dresser did not reach his ears, nor did the fast disappearing shadows attract his attention. The clock struck the quarter hour. "What time is that?" he ejaculated, jumping to his feet. "What times does that gong rings?" "It's 15 minutes before noon, Jerry. But why—" "Great Scott! I'll see you a little later, sweetheart," he said, looking for his hat. "I have an unbreakable appointment at noon—promptly at 12, and I cannot lose another minute." "But Jerry—" "Yes, I know you understand," he said, as he clasped her to his breast and smothered the words that tried to issue from her mouth. The next moment he was in a cab and an instant later the startled driver was lashing his horse with his whip at almost every bound. Montezuma street was on the other side of the O. H. "I'm Rodney Graves," He Panted. "What's here for Me?" city, and it was only Jerry Chamberls' good luck that got him to the specified number 30 seconds before noon. But in that short space of time he hurled several coins at the driver, ran up a flight of steps and reached a desk. "I'm Rodney Graves," he panted. "What's here for me?" "An envelope," was the answer, just as the clock finished striking 12. "Thanks," raid Jerry, as he sank into a chair and scraped the perspiration from his brow with his finger. "What have you brought from the mountains of Mexico?" asked the man, who wore on the lapel of his coat the Pin of the Twins, affecting a degree of solemnity. "Gold," answered Jerry, producing several of the nuggets. "Did you, by your own hand, find these nuggets under the surface of the earth?" "With my own hands—50 miles from a sign of civilized habitation. "This you declare upon the honor of a Gemini person...?" "I swear—" "A Gemini's word of honor is as good as his oath," interrupted Emanuel Fogate, supreme person of the Cluster of The Gemini in 1870, extending his hand. "I am glad to see you here on time," Then he produced the envelope. "If you excuse me," began Jerry, plainly showing his nervousness. "I find out what is in it right away. I nearly waited too long once on a time, and I don't think I'll run any more chances." Mr. Fosgate's keen eyes were focused on Jerry's face as the young man tore open the envelope and took out the contents—one sheet of paper. Jerry tried to disguise whatever the reading might give birth to, but as his eyes went over the page the old Gemini saw a calm face become set in tell-tale lines. Jerry's eyes came closer and closer to the paper, and just before he reached the last line his chin dropped a little. For a moment after he had read the instructions he stared hopelessly at Mr. Fosgate, whose eyes looked askance. "Satisfactory?" smiled Mr. Fosgate. "Satisfactory?" blurted Jerry, his face now very red and his fingers twitching nervously. "Well, I should say it was satisfactory—for you fellows! I thought the others were about the limit, but this—and for six months, too! Ye gods!" His hands went up in despair. "Evidently not," suggested the deliverer. "Certainly not!" exploded Jerry, who walked to the window and looked thoughtfully into the street. He remained there for minutes, and neither he nor Mr. Fosgate said a word. Finally Jerry walked back to the desk and held out his hand. "I think I'll be moving now." "I'm glad to have met you, brother, and—" "What is a deserving charity in this town?" Jerry asked, with a sickly smile. "Oh, we have several worthy institutions," said the surprised Mr. Fosgate. "Personally, I believe that the Home for the Need is—" "That's the one for me—the Home for the Needy," broke in Jerry, laughing with genuine heartiness. "I'm going to do something for that place and I'm going to do it right away." While he went through his pockets and lay his money on the desk Mr. Fosgate looked on in amazement. "I want you to turn this money over to the needy. I hate for anybody to want for nice little things on the side. And, oh," he went on as he placed the nuggets on the desk. "I'd almost overlooked these. They'll be nice for the young ones to play with. Now I think I'll be moving along." He again shook Mr. Fosgate's hand and started for the door. Just as his right hand touched the latch his left came out of his vest pocket and he turned around. "Excuse me, but I'd almost overlooked this dime." He tossed the coin to the wondering Mr. Fosgate and, with a wave of his hand, went into the street. Jerry wandered along, scarcely conscious that there was anybody else on the thoroughfare. He made an effort to bring his jumbled wits together, but it was a frail one, and he turned into another street. He walked down this street a block or two, and then suddenly concluded that he was going farther away from the Hotel Houston. At the end of an hour he was at the hostelry, where big beam- ingfaced Mike O'Connor was awakening him with a big black cigar between his teeth. "Would you be good enough to give a poor man with a gold mine at his fingers' tips a cigar?" laughed Jerry, and there was something behind the laugh that caused Mike to lift his brows in mild wonder. The cigar forth-came immediately. "You ought to buy a box of these," said Mike. "A mining king can afford eim, even if they do retail at 25 per each." Jerry laughed and Mike laughed, too, but the latter did not see anything to cause such an expression of mirth. "I think I'll make this one last, Mike," said Jerry, as he bit off the end of the cigar. "Where is Marina?" "In her room. What are your plans now, my mysterious Mr. Midas?" "I think I'll drift up and see her for a little white," said Jerry. "Till you see in—let's see, in half an hour. But don't you dare to leave this place before two o'clock. That is the limit. Understand?" Mike did not understand, and he could think of nothing to say before Jerry was at the stairs. As the young Gemilah went up those steps his strength almost left him. He healted before rapping on Marina's door and tried to take on an appearance of calmness. But when he was admitted to the parlor he looked the picture of hopeless despair. "Jerry!" was all that Marina could say. "Hello," said he, with a little laugh that was more like a soulless cackle than a laugh. "Have I kept you waiting? I came as soon as I—" "Jerry Chambers, what is the matter with you?" "Matter with me? Why, nothing at all. I am the happiest mortal under the sun. Ha, ha, ha! Can't you tell that I am hilariously joyful when I'm near you, little love?" She was in his arms, her wondering eyes on his face. "And your business engagement?" she asked. "Oh, that' all settled, sweetheart," he replied in the strained manner of one who would appear satisfied. "Great business, that. You would be surprised how long a walk it is from—" "You certainly did not walk all the way from Montezuma street, when you knew that every minute was like an hour to me?" she pouted. "Well, really, Marina, I did walk—not that I wanted to be away from you, but because—because—well, you see, I actually felt stiff in the joints, and I needed a little exercise. It was a rather nice walk." "Why, the perspiration is fairly rolling off of you. This room is like a bake-oven, and the street is much hotter." "Oh, I'm tremendously fond of hot weather. I actually hate to see winter come," and there was a world of truth in this remark. "Father has ordered a carriage for this afternoon," said she, "and he and his daughter's saviors are to visit, with his daughter, of course, all the interesting places in town. But perhaps you would rather walk!" Jerry's brow wrinkled a little and he began to bite his finger nail. "Why, aren't you glad of the opportunity to see this beautiful city—with such companions?" she added. "Yes, yes, to be sure," he said, as though suddenly being aroused from reverie. "it would be so nice to—" "Would he? You mean will be." "Well, Marina, I'll tell you. You see, there are some things in connection with this business affair of mine that I shall not be able to clear up at the moment. This afternoon, as much as I regret it, must be sacrificed to matters in connection with it. Yes, yes, I know you are disappointed," he went on quickly, smoothing her hair, "but you wouldn't have me get so far and then leave it undone, would you? Of course, you wouldn't. I knew you'd say 'no,' and—" "I have not said 'no,' Jerry, dear. I want you to—" "Now, little girl, you must be reasonable. Is this cigar offensive to you? I should have thrown it away before I entered." "You know I love the smoke of a cigar," said she; "but that has nothing to do with the proposed ride. Jerry, dear, can't you put off that business until to-morrow?" Just then there was a rapping at the door. Marina responded, taking, a pitcher of ice water from a bellboy. "Oh, Jerry," said Marina, "father has gone to the barber's, and he has all the money with him. Will you give this boy a coin? He has been so prompt and attentive." "Why, certainly," said Jerry, and he fumbled in his pocket. If there ever was a man quick of thought Jerry Chambers was that man at this moment. Pretending to have a difficult time finding money, he succeeded in opening his knife and cutting a hole in his pocket. "Great Scott!" he exclaimed; "I have lost all my change! See, Marina, see?" he went on excitedly, exhibiting the hole in his pocket. Then to the boy: "I'll see you later, boy." They heard slow footfalls in the hallway. "Well, well!" excalimed Gen. Bosot, entering and extending his hand to Jerry. "We were afraid you would not be back in time to start promptly on our sight-seeing tour. The carriage is waiting for us now." "I just thought of something tremendously important," Jerry stammered, "and I'll run along and tell Mike—that is, I'll see that Mike doesn't—I'll see you later!" He was gone, the door closing sharply after him. Before the general or Marina could recover from their bewilderment he was half way down a flight of stairs. Mike O'Connor, lighting a fresh cigar, was waiting for him. "Have another," said he, proffering the second big cigar. "Thanks," said Jerry, pocketing the gift. "When are you people going to San Diego?" "We leave—when are we people goin'? Why, all of us are goin' in a chartered car—all for our 'lonelles'—to-morrow morning." Mike, I'll not be able to accompany you," said Jerry, smiling as he thought of a private car. "I still have some THE PLANET business to look after before I settle down to pleasure. But you all go and I'll— "Why, of course you're goin," interposed the surprised O'Connor. "If you can't get away to-morrow with this mysterious business of yours, the general will wait till you can—" "No, no, Mike; you folks run along and I'll drift along later. Why, I wouldn't have you lose a day up there on the beautiful coast for a good many thousand dollars—no, sir, not for the San Dimas gold mine. Really, Mike, you hurt my feelings when you— "Say," began Mike, a picture of mingled interest, doubt and surprise, "what in the civil are you up to, anyway? What's gettin' through you? You are gettin' to be more 'n more of a Chinee rebus every day." "Yes, I know, Mike, and— Have you a match?" "Your cigar's lit," and Mike fairly roared with laughter. "But," and he started towards the stairs with a determined look in his face, "we shall see about this, sir. General Bostos may have a word or so to say." After Mike had disappeared from view, Jerry's brain began to work with lightning rapidity. He paced across the floor, his head lowered, and then moved briskly towards the door. "I'll do it—I'll have to do it!" he said to himself. "It will raise thunder, but I can't help it. Damn a Gemini's luck, anyway!" and he slammed the screeerdoor behind him with a bang. When Mike and the general entered the rotunda arm in arm Jerry Chambers was leaning against a building in an alley half a block away re-reading these instructions: "Again have ye performed well, faithful one of The Gemini! but ye have not earned an enduring right to your prized Personality. To the best of your ability ye shall be saved." "Promptly at two o'clock in the afternoon of the nineteenth day of March, 1900, ye shall inquire at the office of the Hotel Florida for your enclosure of your California, for an envelope addressed to Rodney Graves. The contents of this envelope will give ye further instructions. "May the spirit of Rodney Graves guide ye well, and the love and profound admiration of the mind keep your spirits and courage high." (TO BE CONINUED.) EPIGRAMS Marriage is a short cut from romance to reality. You can flatter any man by telling him he is flattery proof. When the wise men get the worst of it, they make the best of it. An expert is a man who is able to impress us with how little we know. Many people stop their friends in the street to tell them how busy they are. A person isn't necessarily smart just because he says some things that do. The philanthropy of some people consists of a willingness to pass the hat. The secret of success lies in the man, and not in the material he works on. The man who falls seldom gets any sympathy from the man who never tried. The reason some people stay out of debt is that no one will let them get in. Man wants but little here below, but even that little he usually keeps on wanting. Contentment consists in wanting what we have, instead of what we can't get. WAIFS OF WISDOM They only really live who love. Habitual liars learn to believe themselves. Fools have brains, but don't know how to use them. Because of her "contempt of court" many a woman is punished with the sentence of spinsterhood. It is useless for a woman to "throw cold water" on an earnest lover, for nothing can put out the divine fire of genuine love. No man can build for himself a temple of fame, without first laying sure foundations of integrity. An "up-to-date girl" is she who carefully erases the date of her birth --- from the family Bible and subtracts ten from it, with the skill of an expert counterfeiter. Some women get red in the face because of innate modesty; some get furiously red, because of their quick tempers; some women get beautifully red in the face because of the beauty doctor. What is worse than capital punishment? To be sentenced at the altar to live throughout life, calling a chumplish drunkard by the sacred name of "husband." OLD WINE IN NEW BOTTLES. A little widow is a dangerous thing. A fool and his money are soon discovered. Where there's smoke there is not always a fire policy. The proof of the pudding is the way you feel about an hour afterwards. Too much cooking spoils the balance-sheet. An Englishman's fish is a Frenchman's poisson! A bird in the hand is worth two in the breakfast eggs. Train up a servant in the way she should go, and the first thing you know, she's gone—Harper's Weekly. LAUGHING CYNICISMS. Candor is the cold-water spigot of truth. Tit-for-tat is a game that is older than golf. Much is forgiven beauty at the court of injustice. Many a "saint" has a homely face to thank for her halo. Fools never listen to the wise; but the wise occasionally give ear to fools. To be bad-for-something is stronger than to be good-for-nothing. A dull hearing and a bad memory have proved immensely profitable afflictions.—Lippincott's. MUSINGS Many a board of directors wouldn't pass as clear timber. Love songs are all antematrimoulai affairs. Ain't it queer? Honesty is the best policy, but many a crook has a big funeral. The preacher says religion is a great thing in time of trouble. He don't state where he spends his vacations. It's funny where some folks get their rep for wisdom. For instance, Solomon is said to have had a thousand wives. REFLECTIONS OF A PHYSICIAN. Yesterday I performed 18 operations. A good day's work! I remember the time when this would have been considered extraordinary. Medical science has indeed made progress. One has to work rapidly to do as much as that. But fortunately it happens that we are all built pretty much alike. The result is that it gets to be second nature where one does the same thing over and over. I can remember, also, the time when even the simplest operation involved a sense of responsibility. It was always a question as to whether it was necessary or not. But now that it is always so well done, and so painless, it is generally only a question of the financial responsibility of the patient. Or it may be put thus: No harm can ever come from any operation; therefore even in cases where it isn't necessary it is just as well to perform it. This is a great help. It gives a kind of freedom that in itself cannot but add to one's effectiveness. Besides, it marks a distinct advance in this respect: That the old-time methods of prescribing medicines are now being so severely criticised that operations have come to take their place. If I prescribe medicine for a patient he may insist upon knowing what it is I am giving him. The chances are that he will know almost as much about the effectiveness (or futility) of the drug as I do. Of course, this robs it of its psychic quality—most important. But the suggestion that he must be operated upon leaves him no defense. Operations are a little more costly, perhaps, but, then, everything is higher than it used to be—Life.

Loafing is a past-time that no thoughtful person will indulge in. The results in some of the States seem to Indicate that there was much trading done. If you are paying for a race jour- nal, read It or have somebody read it to you. naam Colored folks should buy property educate their children and teach their off-spring good manners. Mr. Bryan's confidence in his own election can only be accounted for by his mistaken notion as to the real opinion of crowds. Some people “tle the grass” in the pathway of life and then they absent- mindedly are the first ones to stum- ble in it. Hon. William J. Bryan may not be any wiser, but he knows a great deal more. You cannot win an election without money. The politician on the outside will be looking lean, lank and hungry by January 1, 1909. All of his politi- cal money will have been spent. eee eee Colored folks should not indulge in any undse jubilations over the re- sult of the election. The people, who are sore are the people who lost. —o——_. Well, the Brownsville matter will come up in the United States Senate and it is hoped that President Roose- velt will find a way to remove this ghost from the closet of his succes- sor. Colored folks who give all their spare time to light frivolity and a- musement and who enlist under the “good time” banner will suffer in the long run and finally be forced to depend upon the charity of others. " Some people seem to think that other people should work and make money and give to those who are shiftiess and will not work. ‘The best way to make money Is to Save some of that that you are mak- ing. A person, who canhot save one penny a week on a salary of $3.00 per week, could not save $5.00 per week on a salary of $30.00 per week. Dr. Booker T. Washington now looms up as the coming influential fi sure at the White House, when the ‘next President of the United ‘States has been duly installed in office. ‘The New York Sun has repeatedly declared that Hon, Willfam H. Taft would be elected President of the United States in spite of the bad breaks of President Roosevelt. There are numbers of men, who are out looking for wives who will support them in idleness, and it may not be diplomatic to say that there are numbers of women, who are loox ing out for husbands to support them in their shiftiessness. Sometimes they strike “suckers,” but most of them are usually disappointed. ‘The death of Mr, Charles H. Wil- Hams of Baraboo, Wisconsin removes from the fleld of action one of the dest friends that the colored people of this country ever had. He was conscientious, Justice-loving and pa- triotic, We learned of his Jemise with a feeling of genuine regret. For years, he published pamphlets setting forth the inhumanity of the treat- ment of the colored people of the Southland and endeavoring to arouse @ sentiment for the alleviation of the same. He has gane the way of all the earth and a race, drilled in sor- row and seared with aMfiiction depos- its a wreath of Immortelies upon his grave. ‘Despite all the efforts of the Dem- ocratic managers to wrest it from its moorings, the Ninth Congtessional District remains true to the Repub- ean Party and Hon. Bascom Slemp has been re-elected to Congress, Some people will wonder how this is possible with the machinery of the ‘State in the hands of the Democrats. It Is due to the fact that this fs a white District for the most part, em- bracing a section of the country that its mountainous and wild and where human life possesses little or no val- ue when the factions theré ordain otherwise. To cheat or rob these ‘mountaineers and farmers means death to the person attempting it. They are therefore disposed to vote for thelr own best interests and the efforts of those who would endanger business conditions in the section and bring hard times to the Inhabitants are nullified all along the line. = ee al ELECTION AND ITS MEAN. ING. Hon. Willlam H. Taft of Ohio will Jbe the next President of the United [States and Hon. James S, Sherman of New York will be the next Vice- /President of this same country, ac. ‘cording to the returns from the elec: tion last Tuesday | We are not surprised at the result for the attitude of the Democratic Party as reflected through Hon, Wil liam J, Bryan made the conservative business interests fearful that all of the many experiments of the dema- kogues and scheming “soldiers of fortune” might be put into practice if the fondest desires of the great Nebraskan were realized We are more interested now in the pledges of the Republican plat- form than we are in anything else and it would be well to note too the utteraaces of Mr, Taft while on the stump relative to his attitude to the colored people of this country. The following plank from the party platform will be read with interest: “The Republican Party has been for more than fifty years the con- sistent friend of the American Ne- gro. It gave him freedom and cit- fvenshiv. Tt wrote into the organic law the declarations that proclaim his civil and political rights, and It believes to-day that his noteworthy progress in intelligence, Industry and good citizenship has earned the’ re- spect and encouragement of the na- tion. “We demand equal justice for all men, without regard to race or col- ‘or; we declare, once more, and with- ‘out reservation, for the enforcement ‘In letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution, which were de- signed for the protection ani ad- vancement of the Negro, and we con- demn all devices that have for thelr real alm ‘his disfranchisement for Teasons of color alone, as unfair, un- American and repugnant to the su- preme law of the land.” The magnificent victory achieved last Tuesday means, if it means any- thing that the country is returning to its “first love” and that it is e- termined to recognize fully the doc- trine of human rights. It is an o- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. pen expression of opinion relative to the loyal colored men throughout the country, who have risked life and Mimb in behalf of the Party of Sum- ner, Lincoln and Grant. We are frank to state that all of the expressions of Hon. William H. ‘Tatt concerning the colored people ‘have been of the most freindly and complimentary character. ‘The wish, of all interests opposed to Hon. Wiliam J. Bryan was that the present occupant of the White ‘House should once more seck the seclusion of private life, knowing well that no man in the United States save Mr. Bryan could come any- where near the “rough-rider” meth- ods of Mr. Roosevelt, which meth- ods, had caused such an appalling shrinkage In values throughout the country. The knowledge that he is going out of office will prove a sedative, Improving business conditions and Inducing capital to once more wan- der forth to those sections where It is most needed. If the Republican Party and Its nceredited representatives mean all that the platform says, then the col- ored people have more cause for re- joicing over the result than they bave had for twenty years or more. God's hand may yet be seen in the affairs of parties as of nations and the faith- ful may rest assured that right will come uppermost and triumph in the end THE KICKERS. |The colored people of this country, whether they realize the fact or not are under many obligations to those colored men, who raised a howl a- gainst President Roosevelt in partfe- ular and the Republican managers in general over the treatment of the “yrother in black.” This caused, not onty President Roosevelt to pause, but it also nery- «1 the great Ohio Senator, Hon. Jo- seph Benson Foraker to greater ef- forts. His fight in the United States Senate nerved the Republican mana- gers to action, and there was en- grafted In the Republican National platform a plank, so strong and em- phatic that {ts meaning can nelther ‘be misunderstood or honorably e- vaded. ie do pat know wilether ail of ont people will appreciate this great ad- vantage, but {t will be apparent to thoughtful people everywhere. The pendulum is now swinging in our fa- vor. If we will be careful and con- servative In our actions, we are of the opinion that the star of the col- ored folks hope will be In the ascon- jaaser, and prejudice, which has been fo virulent will be so modified as to give us n chance not only tn Party ‘councils, but a hearing in the nation. It will be well for us not to indulge tn any reprisals or In any unkind comments relative to colored men, who acted Independently In the re- cent contest. All people now know that the Negro ts lke other people and that he will jealously defend his rights and break away from any party ‘or political leader that refuses to recognize him as a man and as a political equal before the law. Mr. Bryan led a forlorn hope from the start. The colored people stood by the Republican Party as a whole, but the signs of rumbling and the mur- murs of discontent emphasize the fact that there is such a thing as over-loading the burden-bearer and causing a pronounced upheaval at the ‘polis. Mit. BRYAY’S DEFEAT. Hon. William ¥. Bryan of Nebras- ka met his third “Waterloo” last Tuesday and we cannot say that we are sorry. Viewed from any stand- point, he got what he paid for. He deserted great principles and _fol- lowed the maudlin sentiment of the mob in a vain effort to reach the presidency. He descended from the pedestal of a statesman and stood on the platform of a demagogue. He met a committee of colored men, and Jed them to hope for recognition from him, and then in order to secure the nomination, he repudiated all that he sald to them, if not by direct refer- ences, certainly by Inference, He justified the disfranchising laws of Southern States by appealing to the worst prejudices, calling at- tention to what northern men would do rather than what was right to be done under such circumstances. His managers gave encouragement to the revolt of colored men against the Republican Party and yet refused to admit that such encouragement had been given. He handicapped these colored men by offering them no argument upon which to appeal to the colored voters for their suffra- ges. It ts surprising that the Negro in- dependents were able to continue the contest, based as it was upon revenge for the Brownsville order. The col- ored Republicans were really more benefited than they. The result of the election is notice to Messrs. Till- man, Vardaman and Dixon that the North will not stand for a further agitation of the race question. The South may continue to remain solid and stay outside the Union, so to speak. ‘There was nothing more impress- ive than the predicament in which President Roosevelt has fount! bim- self. He appointed Major General Luke E. Wright of Tennessee Sec- retary of War to succeed Hon. Wil- liane H, Taft and the amusing and ludicrous spectacle is presented of Major General Wright bélng unable to carry even his own State or to give even an Indication that by the re- duction of the Democratic vote, It might be landed in the Republican dolieien: THE ACCOMAC PRISONERS FREE ‘The following telegraphic informa. tion will explain itself: “Norfolk, Va., Oct. 27—Acting up- on a telegram from §. J. Turlington, Commonweaith’s Attorney of Acco- mac county, Commonwealth's Attor- ney Jobn G. Tilton yesterday entered @ notle prosequi in the cases of Sam- uel L. Burton and Sylvanus Conquest charged with rioting during the race trouble on the Eastern Shore. This ends the matter in court. “Burton and Conquest were twice convicted and sentenced, but each time Attorneys H. Willeox and J. L. Jeffries secured a new trial from the Supreme Court. Burton and Con- quest were given one year each In the penitentiary in the Corporation Court here. An appeal was taken snd a new trial granted. J. D. Uzzle, the editor, was acquitted. ‘The telegram from Commonwealth Attorney Turlington of Accomac county and filed by Commonwealth's Attorney Tilton with the papers in the case follows: “Aecomac, Va., Oct. 26, "08. John G. Tilton, Commonwealth's At- torney for Norfolk, Va. “I realize under the decision of the Suprome Court it is useless to further prosecute in the ease of Com- monwealth against Burton and Con- quest. 8. JAMES TURLINGTON.” ‘This then is another evidence of the impartiality of the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia and empha- sizes what we have so often said,— that a colored citizen need not go further than the boundaries of this State In onder to secure justice. Our remedy at law fs at home. So posi- tive were the legal mandates handed down from this Temple of Justice that even the prejudiced officials of Accomac County, Va. realized the hopelessness of the struggle. This deciston will gtve hope to ev- ery progressive, wealth producing, law-abiding colored man in the State. It shows that if we live upright and prove ourselves entitled to the re- spect of the white and colored peot ple of the neighborhood in which we reside that we can always feel safe when the proper appeal is made to the Tribunal that represents the jus- tice loving power of the common- wealth. All praise to the counsel of white men, who so ably represented these colored men in their long war- fare for justice. NEW YORK FOR TAFT AND HUGHES Republican ‘National and State Tickets Win. TAFT CARRIES BIG CITY Metropolis Gives |ts Vote to Repubil- can Presidential Candidate By Small Majority—Buffalo Goes Democratic, But Other Cities Are Republican. Next Legislature Will Be Repubii- can, New York, Nov. 4.—As the result of ‘Tuesday's election New York state's thirty-nine electoral votes will be cast for William H, Taft and James S. Sher- man.

In New York city, Tuft, 380,000; Bryan, 370,000; Hughes, 230, 000; Chanter, 300,000, Reports from all parts of the state indicate that the vote was heavy, the efforts of both gubernatorial candi- dates to bring out the ballots being Tewarded with success. Both the old Parties polled full votes, their strength not being seriously affected by the In- dependence, Socialist and other minor parties. Shearn, Independence party candidate for governor, ran ahead of Wanhope, the Socialist nominee. ‘The state's congressional represen: tation will be divided, as at present, among the two partles, with one change, Hillquit, Socialist, being elect- ed in the Ninth district’ in place of Riordan, Democrat. The next logisia- ture will be Republican in both branches, insuring @ Republican suc- Cyssor for Senator ‘Thomas C. Platt, who will leave the senate in March. New York and Buffalo are the only two large cities of the state that have gone Democratic. MARYLAND REPUBLICAN Baltimore Gives Taft a Majority of 2000. Baltimore, Nov. 4.—William H.

In 1904 Roosevelt carried the state by 595,- 519, and two years ago Stuart, Re Dublican, was elected governor by 48, 435, The returns received show a ead erable falling off In every county with the exception of two. A heavy vote was polled throughout the state, due | principally to the many warm contests in the legislative districts. The Re- ‘Bublicans hold thetr own in the cop- ressional districta, tf they do not > crease their representation, There | practically no change in the Republl- can representation in the legislature. In Philadelphia the national ticket carried the city by about 125,000 plu- rality.

This is the verdict returned by tho majority of the 15,000,000 voters of the United States.

Mr. Taft will receive 302 electoral votes to Mr. Bryan’s 181. The latter has carried West Virginia, which ‘went to Mr. Roosevelt four years ago. Maryland gave 8000 plurality for Mr. Taft. Oklahoma, the state created since the last presidential election, has enrolled itself, as was expected, in the Democratic column. Nebraska has gone Democratic by a plurality of 10,000 for Mr. Bryan and @ plurality of about the same figure for Shallenberger, Democrat, for gov- ernor. ‘The states considered doubtful be- fore the election have gone as follows: Indiana, Republican; _ Nebraska, Democratic; New York, Republican; ‘Ohio, Republican; Mitnols, Republican; Maryland, Republican, and West Vir ginia, Democratic.

Judge Taft may have a majority in the city of New York, the first time the big city has given its vote to a Republican presidential candidate. Mr. Taft probably. will receive a greater plurality in New York state than Pres- ident Roosevelt did four years ago. He has exceeded Mr. Roosevelt's plu- roliy in New Jersey and had a sur prisingly big vote in Massachusetts. Governor Charles E. Hughes has been re-elected in New York state by about 54,000 plurality. The lower house of the Sixty-frst congress will be Republican by the usual majority. The senate will remain Republican. Speaker Cannon has won his fight for reelection by his usual majority. Most of the great cities of the coun- try have gone Republican, with the ex- ception of New York and Chicago.

The Ereater part of the state's congres- Siorel delegation will be Democrats. The Pacific coast states, California Washington and Oregon, have given thelr votes to the Republican candt- até but Nevada, which voted against Parker in 1904, gave {ts votes this year to Bryan. Montana, the Dakotas and Minnesota are again Republican, but Governor Johnson's personal popular- ity has sufficed to seat him again in the gubernatorial chair of the North Star state.

Only in Maryland has the Republican party made serious inroads on the Democratic vote, and may have carried the state. Dela- ware, about which some doubt was expressed, has gone Republican. The New England states have gone for Taft and have elected Republican gov- ‘ernors, but the vote in Rhode Island, where the Democrats made a strong fight, is very close. In Massachusetts the Independence party candidate for governor made a good showing, though running far behind the vote of Thomas L. Hisgen last year. New York city has been carried by ‘Taft by about 10,000, but Chanler, the Democratic candidate for gov- grnor, received a majority of 70,000.

New Hagen, Conn. Nov. 4.—Tho Republicans swept the state of Con- necticut in Tuesday's election fully as. completely, perhaps a little more 50, as four yeors ago, Taft carrying the| state by more than 30,000 plurality, and Congressman George I.

BRYAN CARRIES HOME STATE Democrats Win in Nebraska By 10,000 ‘Ciiactin Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 4—Nebraska has gone Democratic by a plurality of 10,- 000 for Bryan and a plurality scarcely less for Shallenberger, Democrat, for governor. The result, was a surprise and a disappointment to Republican managements, who, while admitting the state was doubtful on the national ticket, confidently expected their state ticket to be elected. The tremendous gain for Bryan in the city of Lincoln was the wonder of the clection. Not only did Mr. Bryan reverse a Republi can plurality of 1600 in his home city, Dut he carried it by a plurality of something in excess of 600. While returns are incomplete on congressmen, indications are for the election of Pollard (Rep.) In the First district and Hinshaw (Rep.) in the Fourth. Hitelicock (Dem.) wins in the Second, and the Third, Fifth and the Sixth are in doubt. . Bryan Silent On Election. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 4—"T do not de sire to discuss the result of the elec: tion at the present time,” said Mr. Bryan after the returns were received here. “At a later date I shall probably have something to say, but now I must beg to be excused.” The Democratic candidate's own city gave Mr. Taft a majority.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK., Oct. 28, —The Investigation of the deaths of Ed. and Laura Davis, Negro servants of Dr. Carter H. Jones, newly ip- pointed pastor of the White Temple Baptist Chureh, this elty, points to potsonings. ‘The servants accompanied Dr Jones and his wife from their old home in Lynehburg, Va The house to be occupied by the pastor and his wife was being fitted up by the two servants, but last Sat- urday night was not ready for occu- pancy, and the Negroos stayed there to guard it. ‘The doctor and his wife remained with’ friends tn the city. The latter did not return to the house until about noon Monday, when they discovered the bodies of their two servants. The woman was lying on a bed in an upstairs room, while the man had evidently fallen downstairs and was found at the bottom. Both died in agony. Wine and whiskey were found in bottles in the room, where the woman was found. All’ Indica- Hons point to the fact that they had been poisoned.

The “. oe smnee > onthe SIX THE PLANET SATURDAY.....NOVEMBER 7,'08 CUT IN GRACEFUL LINES. Indoor Coatline Made Up of Saxe-blue Ecloenne. For this graceful gown, Saxe-blue ecloenne is chosen. The shirt is a little high waisted at the back, is very full and slightly trained. White tucked chiffon is used for the 1 deep yoke and the mitten cuffs, the material is gathered twice on the shoulder, and is set to the yoke under a band of place silk to match the material; silk straps and bows trim the cuffs. Materials required: Eight yards satin 42 inches wide, $1\frac{1}{2}$ yards chiffon, one-half yard silk, two buttons. OLD CLOTHES AND NEW STYLES. "Fixing Over" Always Apt to Be a Troublesome Question. This is a question that troubles every woman more or less when she is confronted by old clothes and new styles. Possibly you have in your wardrobe two old skirts of the same material which may be combined satisfactorily. As long as the two materials are of the same color great liberty may be taken, but when plain material is to be combined with figured it is necessary to use one material for all the long lines and the other for the trimming. It is well worth while to alter your sleeves, for no part of the costume changes in style so quickly and radically as the sleeve, and an old-fashioned sleeve often causes an other wise good-looking waist to look out of date. This season the shoulders of shirt waists and blouses are deeper than heretofore, so it is necessary to lengthen the shoulder line somewhat before putting in the modernized sleeve. Braiding is used to great advantage in fixing over last season's frocks. A yoke or even a whole front of a waist may be pieced many times and the seams entirely hidden by the design The Greek influence The influence of the Greek idea upon evening gowns is especially marked in the case of many of those copied from or similar to the celebrated creations of Margraine La Croix. A bridge frock of emerald green satin, for instance, has a gold-fringed front polished tunic with cash back and a gold tulle bodice embroidered with gold motifs that is cut in one with the sleeves, which are gold-laced at the inner side. Another gown, which is the acme of simplicity as well as of modesty, has a tunic bordered with embroidered silver bands and slashed sleeves caught together with antique silver buttons. The most extreme gown, and also the simplest, is a blue ottoman princess bordered with blue embroidery, which has its split left side caught together at intervals, but then it is worn over an entire underdress of satin velled with silver palletted blue gauze. Trimmings of Leather Leather of the predominating shade of the tweed is the trimming par excellence this year. A decidedly attractive costume destined for wear this month by a well-known sportswoman is carried out in heather mixture tweed with wellhigh invisible stripes of purple, green, brown and dull gold. The waistcoat is of dull gold suede decorated with gun metal buttons and provided with a cartridge belt. The coat fits tightly, but in no way hampers the movements of the arms, and is neatly and effectively finished off with a leather collar, while the skirt is also relieved and faced up some three inches with dull gold leather. A shaded corduroy velvet cap accompanies this costume, decorated with a buckle of colossal dimensions—Tatler. Shoes with Cloth Tops. Cloth-topped shoes seem to be on the way to popularity for winter, and the fashion will have good sense to commend it, since the cloth tops allow such good circulation that they are warmer than leather tops. Indeed, some women declare that by wearing low shoes and "spats" they have cured frost-bitten feet which have given them trouble for years. FOR JOLLY PARTY FOR JOLLY PARTY HALLOWE'EN SUGGESTIONS BY MADAME MERRI. October Festival Can Be Made One of the Merriest of the Year—Specially Designed Postcards for Invitations. For some days requests have been coming into the department for Halloween suggestions, so during the month Mme. Merri is going to give all the ideas she can possibly find to assist hostesses of all ages who delight in entertaining on this merry festival day. A visit to the stores will convince one that there is a commercial side to this recognition of "special" days in the year's calendar. For comparatively small sums the hostess can buy "Jack-o'-lanterns," pumpkins of all sizes, vegetables, "brownies," "witches," etc. But, after all, they do not appeal to children half as much as if they had the fun of making them at home, for the greatest joy in life to a child is to be allowed to assist in the preparation for a party. Many letters which come in are from very young people asking how to celebrate Hallowe'en, and sometimes there is a pathetic clause like this: "Mother is too busy to help, so we come to you." It delights Mme. Merri be permitted to help, to be of service is what the department is for, and especially to the ones who have "busy" mothers. We must all try to remember that a little nonsense now and then is relied on the best of men. It does even busy mothers good to have the monotony of this every-day world broken by such jolly times as October 31 brings. Now for the merry carnival of hobgoblins, brownies, fairies, witches, owls, cats and bats who are waiting for their annual reunion. A Hallowe'en masquerade makes a very pretty party. Send the invitations on Hallowe'en post cards; they are specially designed for this occasion and just the thing for an affair of this kind. Then ask the guests to come in the character designated, viz.: A witch, fairy, gnome, ghost, pumpkin, etc. A Japanese cap and mask may be sent to each one as they are very inexpensive. When the guests all have them on the effect is amusing in the extreme. After an hour spent in dancing, unmask and try the old tricks peculiar to the day. They have a new interest each year, for there is always some one for whom it is a "first" time; the old love story is ever new, and the oracles are generally propitious it the hostess is clever in consulting the "fates" beforehand. Of course, must be a fortune cake, and the regulation refreshments are apples, nuts, cider, popcorn, sandwiches, coffee and individual ples. A prize may be awarded the guest who guesses the most persons before they unmask, and award one to the person who remains the longest incognito. Light the dining room entirely by candles and platters containing alcohol and salt. The light made is ghostly in the extreme. By putting raisins in the alcohol (good fat ones) we have what our English cousins call "snap-dragons." The person who grabs a raisin from the flames will be protected from evil spirits during the year. Harvest Home Festival. A hostess who rejoices in an ideal country place has asked guests to the number of 50 for a harvest home festival. The invitations call for "tub" costumes, which means wash suits for the girls and negligee shirts for the men, with light flannel trousers. A dance will be held in the great barn, which is to be glorious with boughs of trees, corn shocks, pumpkins and all the fall vegetables. There will be huge mugs of coffee, pie of all kinds, blue bowls with corn meal mush and pitchers of Jersey cream. There will be lemonade, ice cream, doughnuts and cakes. Hay wagons will meet the guests and take them back to the station. The great stunt of all is to be going over the place and gathering in the choicest vegetables, pitching hay and seeing the fine stock. Best of all, there is to be a sorting into baskets of the fine vegetables and marketing them for city hospitals. This is a timely hint for others who have country places to remember that October brings the glad festival of the "harvest home," which was a day religiously observed by our New England forefathers, and it certainly is worthy of a revival.

Knicker—Impossible m'dear; it's still going.—Life. Mystified. Mr. Younghusband—Don't you understand how to do it, darling? Mrs. Younghusband—Yes, I understand all right; but it says, "first clean your chicken," and I don't know whether to use toilet or scouring soap. —Judge. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA WE GET WHAT WE GIVE. Life is a magician's vase, full to the brim, and so made that you cannot thrust your hand into it, or pour, or sip, or draw out of it. It overflows into your hand only when you drop something into it. And what you get is of the same quality as that which you give. If you drop in love, it overflows love. If you drop in charity, it overflows charity. Drop in envy and jealousy and hate, and it will overflow these things into your own life. Love will draw the world to you and surround you with an atmosphere of happiness and success. Every hard thought gives birth to a stinging serpent in your own heart There never was a more thorough truth than that hate, envy, revenge, and all the evil passions that we are heir to, corrode, render wretched and destroy first the heart in which they originate. Love generates the sunshine of the moral universe, without which life would be a desert waste. It brightens the dark places. It gladdens the sorrowing. It lifts us above the petty grinding cares that harden the heart and sap enthusiasm and energy. By lifting the burdens of others we lighten our own. By making others happy we bring happiness to ourselves. Yes, a magic vase is that which overflows with what is dropped into it. And that magic vase is no fanciful conception. It is life—everyday, commonplace life—Toledo News-Beg. QUAKER MUSINGS It is perhaps better to be a spend- thrift than a lendthrift. Many a girl will knit her brows who wouldn't darn a stocking. Most of us try to forget the mean things we know about ourselves. Enough is as good as a feast, but the average man wants a surplus. Clothes don't make the man. Many a fellow with a coat of arms wears baggy trousers. Don't judge by appearance. The man who wears a diamond pin may sometimes be really wealthy. The only man who really loves his enemy as he loves himself is the fell- ow who is his own worst enemy. Blobbs—"Guzzler is on a terra cotta bust." Slobbs—"Elucidate." Blobbs—"He's painting the town red." Fear isn't the only thing that will make a woman change color, as witnesses the seashore tan wearing off. Nell—"The women of the Fiji islands don't wear any clothes." Belle—"Gracious! I wonder what they have to talk about." Just because an artist's father happens to be a dentist it doesn't necessarily follow that he inherited his talent for drawing. Wigg—"Do you think the weather affects a watch?" Wagg—"I know the seasons do. For instance, a spring is much better for a watch than a fall." Philadelphia Record. SMALL CHANGE All is not gold that glitters. Some of it is diamonds. Some people's only sincerity is their belief that they are sincere. Any man can be a good husband until he has some ideas of his own. "Many a little makes a mickle." Also, many a littleness makes a human failure in the completest sense of the word. The cashing in of the emotions in any form plays smash with the sincerity of any subsequent emotion on the part of the vender. The man who says the whole world is bad makes a portion of it less good by his proclamation.—Strickland W. Gillilian. DYSPEPTIC PHILOSOPHY It may be better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all, but it isn't so cheap. If a woman is pleased with herself the opinion of the rest of the world is of secondary importance. It takes a man half his life to find out who his friends are, and the other half to locate his enemies. The swindler isn't exactly a philanthropist, but he is always looking for the good things he can do. A woman's hidden intentions are generally so well hidden that she can seldom remember herself where they are. There may be just as good fish in the sea as ever were caught, but a fish that is caught is worth two in the sea. Impertinent "What is your age, please?" asked the lawyer who was doing the cross-examining stunt. "I have seen 23 summers, sir," answered the lady witness, who seemed to be carrying weight for age. "Ah," rejoined the legal light. "And how many years have you been blind?"—Chicago Daily News. Here's a Bargain! Here's a Bargain!

If you have a cellar with a dirt floor and have rhubarb plants which have supplied gou in the spring here ts a plan by Which they can be made to furnish a crop of tender shoots in the winter, when the pies and sauce are most welcome. Rapid growth ts essential to insure tenderness of the rhubarb. The very best can be raised in the winter, a warm cellar being the only requisite. far forcing it. The roots of the plants should be dug up late in the fall with large quantities of dirt adhering to them. These chunks of earth contain- ing the roots may be piled up outdoors until midwinter when they should be carried into the cellar and placed in a bed prepered in the earthen floor. ‘The chunks of earth should be laid close together in rich, moist earth and covered to a depth of four to six inches. Growth svon commences. Light ts mot a requisite. In a short time the rhubarb will be ready for the table. ‘The shoots will be almost colorless and remarkably tender and palatable, A very small bed containing only half a dozen well-developed hills will be sufficient to supply a family for several weeks. Roots send up a large number of shoots and exhaust themselves in about four weeks. For an additional supply roots should be planted at fp. tervals of two or three weeks, PLANTING TREES. Be Sure the Ground Is Well Drained and That Trees Are Set Right. It is a loss of money to plant trees upon wet or undratued ground. If dry ground cannot be obtained the soll should be tile drained and put in good condition. In setting out trees one shouid bear fm mind the fact that you are not set ting out a crop for a single year, but that it will remain for many years to come and that errors made cannot easily be corrected; and for that rea fon trees should never be set out in a hurry or without due forethought. Spring and fall planting both have their advocates, each claiming a spe. ‘lal advantage over the other. For fall Planting, October is the best month ix ‘which to set the trees out as a later ‘planting might suffer from a freeze ‘thereby doing permanent injury. ‘One strong argument tn favor of fal planting ts (he fact that more time cap usually be devoted to it. Better trees may be cbiafned, as the nursery rows have not been culled so often. More time may be devoted to preparing the ground 2nd also to planting and when eversthiag ts taken into consideration it wili be round that, generally speak: for unum plaating will give the best results. USE APPLES FREELY. Ways in Which the Unmarketable Fruit Can Be Used. ‘Where apples are grown there is often a large waste of fruit in the orchard because the windfalls and unmerchantabie stock are allowed te decay on the ground. This is a habit pecullar to the northwest, where the waste on the farms, if saved, would equa! the entire income of some sec tions of the world, The frugal New Englander and his family make use of a large proportion of the culls and windfalls from the orchard. A elder press will make it possible to convert much of this waste into vinegar which is in demand tn almost every family. Small green apples also make a most excellent quality of fruit jelly which ts relished by all and as a spread for dread is much superior to some butter We have sampled. Api.e butter is cheaply prepared from the small stock and should be made by the gallon where there are children in the family. “Pe timber” 1s usually a store pruduct on the farm, but the orchard should supply matertal for such pastry during the entire year. The Duchess apple makes a splendid filling for pies and dumplings when it 4s fresh, dry, or eanned. The Hibernal 4s not @ good seller on the markets but the cooks prefer It to many other va rleties for ples Smat! fruit evaporators are now ob tainable which may be heated”over the kitchen range where apples can be dried very quickly and cheaply. ‘They are entirely practical and worthy of a place {n every household where fruits and vegetables are grown, Apple preserves and pickles make a dainty dish that young and old relish, People in the cities often pay two dollars per bushel for crab apples which they use for pickles and pre serves, while the farmer's family, with the apples. going to waste In the or chard {s entirely without these luxuries Baked apples and Jersey cream is good enough for a king, Apple sauce —plain or splced—shoutd be on the farmer's table three times a day wher the fruit is wasting on the ground Keep plumb full uf appies while they are ripe MAKING PERMANENT HOTBEDS.

Trimmings of Embroidered Cloth or Silk Are Used—Over Bodice of Peculiar But Most Becoming Shapes. Among the fashionable preferences of the moment Is that for the draped waist of soft material, having a trim- ming of embroidered cloth or silk or of the oriental embroidery which is ought by the plece. Our sketch shows such a waist in a most charm- {ng design, which may well be one of the items of the wardrobe for gen- eral wear. The waist is made of chit. fon cloth to match a rather elaborate tallored sult. The over bodice in this Instance is of broadcloth which has - ef 2D | | IK | Vraped Bodice with Embroidered Bre- | telles. been embroidered and finished at the edges with scallops and pinkings. Sometimes the edges are finished with ‘@ narrow binding stitched on the edge or are edged with cord or braid. This trimming 1s of the same material as the skirt and 1s again used for the cuffs. The chemisette ts of tucked mousseline de sote, chiffon or batiste of the finest quality, or tt may be of the chiffon cloth of which the waist is made. Usually, however, a diiferent fabric is preferred for the chemisette and the undersieeves. The chemisette may be of the same color as the waist, of @ lighter shade, or of white, cream or ecru, as fancy dictates. When a Waist exactly matches the skirt it is more becoming often to have the chemisette relieve the monotone with the contrast of white or cream {n- stead of being in the same shade. ‘The over bodice or bertha is of a pe- culiar but most becoming shape. It is rather square across the shoulders for this season's fashion and finishes in deep points over the draped chiffon cloth. Two buttons, matching tn color the bodice or else contrasting attrac- tively with it, are set on the inside of exch of the two points. This trimming of broadcloth makes quite enough of & connection between the bodice and skirt, in addition to the uniformity in color, and prevents the clumsy effect of an entire broadcloth waist or one more nearly made of cloth by having none of the heavier material about the welst If Women Would Realize. It fs said that a bad-tempered wom. an can cause more actual unpleasant. ness for the rest of humanity than all the other disaxreeable features one finds in life, and the unlucky possessor vf an uncontrolled temper should rem- edy the fault as soon as possible. _ ‘The woman who can control herself under the most trying circumstances 4s the woman who holds the strongest power over her fellow-creatures. | No matter how beautiful and clever and fascinating the bad-tempered wom- an may be, her power {s infinitesimal compared with that of her amiable sister. And amiability fs not only power, it 1s mental progression and health, and happiness, and long life to one’s self and to on@f'friends and family, saa Gee | The new plaitings and frills at the top of boned stocks are growing higher than ever. There seems no limit to what can be done in the hefght of the collar and the size of the hat. Very few faces can stand as much ruching as the fashion prescribes, but these are the very faces that will wear it. | While the small, plaited frill ts pretty, the extra large one is not. Re- member always to have the stock very high {f you wear one of these ruchings. Nothing is uglier than the tight stock that {s an inch too low, With the plaiting that droops over its edges. The Latest Fad. | ‘There are always fashions In hold- ing up the dress, and the latest is to catch up the gown a triffe to the front in order to show the smart shoo and stocking. A novelty that eomes from Paris is to wear low black slippers with colored stockings, and occa- klonally the heels are made to match the huo of the silken hose.—Home Chat. Salt Drives Freckles Away.

THE MIXED SCHOOL TROUBLE—AN AUTOMOBILE AND ITS OWNER—THE PLAINS AND ITS LESSONS—THE CYCLONE COUNTRY—A VIVID PEN PICTURE OF A LONG JOURNEY. EIGHT We met Mr, J. M. Horton, President of the Molly Groves Mining and Milling Company. The mine is located in Grand County, Colorado. He was enthusiastic over the gold mining proposition and his party was about to leave for a short trip to the scene of operations. We had not caught the "gold mine fever" and accordingly could not enter with zest into the discussion of the subject. A PROTESTING BACHELOR We met Dr. Carrion, who vehemently announced that he never would marry, although there was a twinkle of amusement in the eye of Pharmacist H. C. White as he listened to the conversation. We drew the conclusion that this did not convey the impression that he was adverse to either ladies smiles or carasses as we regarded his good looks and chaperoned appearance as being a decided bid for that kind of attention. We exhorted him to marry and comply with the command of the Scriptures. A LONG TRIP We met dr. William J. Thompkins. He was in charge of a gentleman who had secured his services to treat his mother who resided in Oklahoma. They were hurrying to take the train as we entered. He was a class-mate of James C. Carper, M. D. of Richmond, Va. and he wanted us to transmit to him all the information relative to his prosperity IN KANSAS A side trip, so to speak, to Topeka, Kansas was arranged. We had to return to Kansas City, Mo. to take the Burlington route to the West, as our tourist ticket was over that line. It was 4:30 when we left over the Santa Fe Route for Topeka. Chaircars are provided for day passengers without extra charge. There was little of interest to be seen save the sluggish Kaw River, called by some the Kansas River. The former is the Indian name they say. DR. LEE AND HIS AUTOMOBILE Arriving at Topeka, we were met by Mr. W. W. Plumb, Dr. E. S. Lee and Mr. H. W. Dillard, Deputy United States Marshal. A moment later and we were in the fine five-seat automobile of Dr. Lee speeding towards his large pharmacy, where everything was in first-class shape. We met many persons here and it was not long before the prescription department of this establishment was in working order. A BRILLIANT RECEPTION We were soon on our way to the cosy residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Plumb. The place was brilliantly lighted and made a pretty scene as we were carried up to the sidewalk by Dr. Lee, who is indeed a master of the machine. That night, Friday, September 25th, the host and hostess kept "open house" and we soo took ourselves in the mildst of so enthusiastic number of visitors to whom we talked until well on to midnight. INFLUENTIAL VISITORS Among those who paid their respects were Messrs. W. W. Evans, J. M. Wright, Deputy County Treasurer; Rev. C. G. Fishback, A. M. Thomas, Esq., Dr. O. A. Taylor, B. Pope, C. C. Lyttle, Deputy Marshal City Court; Messrs. Stonecrest and Hamilton, W. M. Johnson. Refreshments were served in abundance and the supper was enjoyed by all present. Thanks to the kindness of Dr. Lee, we enjoyed an automobile drive in company with Messrs. Plumb and Dillard. Never have we experienced a more enjoyable ride. The weather was threatening and there were occasional flurries of rain but it only added to the enjoyment of the occasion. THE SIGHTS OF TOPEKA We saw the State house, the educational institutions, the residences of the colored people in poverty and the others in prosperity. The Great Smith Automobile car was a four cylinder touring car. Dr. Lee had made a tour of Kansas, covering 917 miles in ten days. He engaged in hunting and met with great success in his quest for game. The machine was capable of going 55 miles per hour. The factory is located in Topeka. ACROSS THE RIVER. Then we crossed the river into North Topeka. We were shown the place where nine persons lost their lives during the on-rush of the waters. The water line was still visible on the houses. Then down the country road we raced. The effect was pleasurable. The return trip was equally so. We saw the Governer's Mansion and also the vacant lot beside it, where Mr. Jones, the well-to-do former resident of Chicago had made a purchase and had declared his intention to erect a palatial mansion and reside there. Then came the end of a most sensational case. THE JONES CASE. It seems that Mr. Jones had been on bad terms with his wife and sep- arated from her in Chicago. It was then that Miss Marie M. Thomas came into his life. Some say that she was his type-writer and clerk. Be that as it may, she is a beautiful woman, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Thomas, 734 N. 5th St., Richmond, Va. She was reputed in Kansas to be wealthy and her parents were said to be equally so. Mr. Jones secured a divorce from his first wife and Topeka was the scene of a most brilliant wedding and reception at the palatial residence on a corner of this capital city's popular streets. The shadow was not seen lurking in the hallway, but it was there. A WOMAN'S HATE Mrs. Helen C. Jones, the alleged divorced wife who resides in Chicago was active. She startled the community by bringing suit for $20,000 damages against both Mr. Jones and his beautiful bride. In this, she must have been secretly encouraged and much aided by the white residents who objected to these colored folk's advent into that community and their audacity in proposing to erect a residence on a lot adjoining the palatial residence of the Governor or himself. PENITENTIARY IN THE DISTANCE Criminal action was threatened against him for bigamy as his first wife alleged that he had never been legally divorced from her. The case was pending during our visit here. The result was that the divorce granted was not recognized and Mrs. Jones, No. 1 stood in law as the lawful wife of the colored gentleman from Chicago. Mrs. Marile M. Jones was soon Miss Marile M. Thomas again and the first chapter in this truly remarkable drama was closed. RELINGUISHED ALL CLAIMS This accomplished, with the fear of the penitentiary staring him in the face, the unfortunate man was made in conjunction with wife No. 2 to relinquish all claims to the lot adjoining the Governor's Mansion, and despite the fact that he had been previously offered double the amount he paid for it, he was practically forced to receive the amount of the purchase price. It is needless to say that Mrs. Helen C. Jones is jubilant. We were wheeled by the Jones mansion, formerly the haven of bliss, but now the refuge of sorrow. As to what disposition has been made of the suit, "deponent saveth not." LOOKING FOR TROUBLE It was about 11 o'clock when our enjoyable trip was completed. Only once -did Dr. Lee dismount and pass to the front of the automobile and "look for trouble." We sat patiently, while he examined critically the "trouble department." His keen ear had detected peculiar sounds from the "box in front." It was only a few moments later that he was back in his seat with a self-satisfied smile and the machine was spinning on as before. He maintained a dignified silence as to the cost of running his car per month, but as he is a bachelor we presumed that he regarded it as being much cheaper than being run by a wife. MIXED SCHOOLS We met Attorney James H. Guy, the well-known colored attorney who sailed under the cognomen of "Judge." We met Prof. S. G. Watkins, principal of McKinley School; Prof. Fred-Roundtree, principal of Monroe School, and Prof. J. L. Harrison, principal of Washington School The school authorities were in the midst of a "pupil war" against mixed schools. In this city, colored schools are operated up to the sixth grade. When a colored pupil passes from that grade to the seventh and eighth grades, they go to schools where the white and colored pupils are taught in the same class room. At one of the school buildings a few of the white pupils declared that they would not attend school with colored children. They were encouraged by their parents in this position. There were no open clashes or fights, but much ill-feeling was engendered. The Superintendent and the School Board stood firm and there were no concessions to the strikers. The matter has ended in a victory for law and order. There are 23 colored teachers in the public schools of Topeka. In the High School, out of about 90 pupils, about 32 are colored. IN A LAWYER'S OFFICE In Attorney Guy's office, we gave ourselves up to thoughts of Virginia and proceeded to write editorial matter for The PLANET. Visitors came in however and interrupted our labors, but we had made some progress along the line or keeping in touch with the home office. Across the street was the City Hall, and a few moments thereafter we were being introduced to some of the leading officials therein. EDITOR CHILES' JOURNAL We visited the office of the Topeka Plaindealer. Editor Nick Chiles was out of the city and was expected to return that morning, but after walt- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ing there, he failed to put in an appearance. He has a creditable newspaper plant. He does his type-setting by hand and his cylinder press is driven by electricity. Hon. W. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury, was also expected, but he toc was not in evidence. Editor Chiles home is an imposing affair with its white colonial columns. It indicated ease and refinement. It was evident that he looked out for home first and his office afterwards—a lesson that we had never learned during a life-time experience in journalism. MR. PLUMB AND HIS MADAME. Mr. W, W. Plumb, who had done everything possible to make our stay pleasant in Kansas insisted on our going to his residence to dinner. It was past 1 o'clock and our train left at 2:15 P. M. We enjoyed dinner and complimented Mrs. Plumb upon her skill in preparing it. We waited for the street car and then we waited at the transfer point. Our watch had stopped. We enquired of the conductor the time. "2:17," was the response. We reminded Mr. Plumb that the Santa Fe leaving time for Kansas City was 2:15. Our only hope was in the lateness of the train. It was 2:25 when we reached the station and the train was there. It happened that there were more passengers than there was room and a coach had to be brought from the yards before the train could proceed. This delayed it 20 minutes and prevented that "tired feeling" that is in evidence when one misses the train. MR. BROWN NOT VISIBLE We were soon in Kansas City, Mo, and we met Mr. A. W. Lloyd, Grand Chancellor of Missouri, who was there in conference with the local Knights of Pythias Committee arranging for the session of the Supreme Lodge in 1909. Mr. Charley Brown came with him, but where he was Sir Lloyd declined to state, although he intimated that he could put his hand on him if he was much needed. A CLOSE SHAVE We were in the People's Drug Co pharmacy. "How long does it take to get to the station?" was our query. "Forty minutes" said one. "Eighteen or twenty minutes," said another. "If you have no accidents." "There goes the car now." It was ten minutes to 9 and the train for Denver left at 9:40. It was four minutes to 9 when Mr. Lloyd and ourselves boarded the car. There was no delay. We were discussing the outlook when there was a loud report. The car was in darkness. The conductor jumped off and cut out the rear motor. The motorman started again. Just as he rounded the curve there was another loud report. The car was in darkness. We had paid for our sleeping-car reservation and the vision of that train pulling out without the Editor of the PLANET nerved us to quick action. A DRIVER IN EVIDENCE. A carriage and a pair of dozing horses on one side of the street, and an automobile on the other met our gaze. We chose the former. The white driver came hastily from the barroom at our call. We must make the 9:40 train, we shouted. "I'll make it," he said quietly as he gathered up the reins. We had jumped in and a few moms later we had reached the Union Station with nine minutes to spare. The porter took our luggage into the rolling palace and after bidding Sir A. W. Lloyd adieu, we followed and were soon in the land of dreams. CHILLY BLASTS IN A PULLMAN In the night we awoke well-chilled and we took out the screen in the window that was lying too much air. The sun was well up in the heavens when we arose. We were passing through villages and through farms of alfalfa, which corresponds to our hay and which gives from three to four crops per year and thus enriches the farmer. This rolling prairie land was level for miles and miles. The sameness of it became monotonous and yet it possessed a facination that caused us to keep our eyes upon the undulating surfece save for the time we were engaged in conversation with some of the white passengers. DRAWING BLOOD WITH A SAFETY As we sat in the wash room and smoker a white gentleman lathered his face and soon was shaving himself with a "safety" razor. We watched the operation with some amusement for blood flowed from three or more cuts made by this weapon designed to prevent that very thing. We enquired about it and he explained that it was due to his not having the blade screwed in tight. He could shave with more sat isfaction to himself. A moment later another passenger entered. He lathered his face and used the regulation razor with an ease and precision that was a marvel. Not a drop of blood was drawn and we complimented him upon the dexterity shown in the operation. He laughed as we told of the experience of the passenger who a moment before had stood before the same mirror. COLD FEET AND HUNGER The engine was laboring. The heavy flow of bankers and their companions to Denver had taxed the carrying capacity of the western railroads. There was trouble with the steam coupling under the car and all of us were uncomfortable. To add to the miseries of the occasion, the supply of food on the dining car was exhausted and those who were fortunate enough to secure anything had to content themselves with a sandwich. Visions of the remnants of that box of lunch that we brought from home and left in the depot at Kansas City floated before us. A WESTERN SUPPER It was late in the afternoon when supper was announced in one of the western stations. There was no thought of racial discrimination. We found ourselves ushered to the table, elbow to elbow to white passengers. White waitresses served all with studied courtesy. In all of that multitude we saw no colored person for the reason that no mirrors were available. It was a "feast for the gods." Hurrying to the train we were soon an object of contentment. "You'll see the prairie dogs after while," said the porter. "Yes, and you'll need a search light to do it." remarked a steady western passenger who seemed to be well posted as to the nature of the country. We were then more than two hours late and running at a pace that indicated more lost time. THE FAR WEST We were now on the prairies, called by some the plains. The table lands, the gentle elevations, the prairie grass, the dried up river beds, all told of the peculiarities of this western country where forty years ago Indians roamed and the Red Men made it unsafe for the Deadwood mail coach and the settlers' caravan. We could recognize a similarity with the pictures shown in the East and the graphic recital of the fierce encounters between the Indians and the trappers A HOUSE TIED DOWN. Away off to the left we saw a house held down by guy-gropes or to use plain language with long iron rods fastened in the ground. This was explained to us as being the cyclone country. Under each house was built a cyclone cellar. Sometimes a storm would rise on short notice, apparently no larger than a man's hand. It would dismantle and blow over houses and to save life, one would go under ground in the cyclone cellar, until it had passed over. VIRGINIA GOOD ENOUGH We created some amusement by stating that in view of this condition, Virginia was good enough for us. We reached the station where the time changed again to Mountain Time and our watch was set back one hour. When it was 2 o'clock there, it was 4 o'clock in Richmond, Virginia. Darkness settled like a gall over the country on the outside and the steady rumbling noise and its accompanying sounds told us that we were being hurried towards the city of Denver. A stupor followed and sleep accompanied it, only to be awakened by the announcement that we would soon be in the golden city of the West. THE UNION STATION AND EDI TOR FRANKLIN. A short time and we were ushered into the Union Station at Denver. As we stepped out or the main entrance a brilliantly lighted arch with the word "Welcome" met our gaze. An enquiry or two and we were enroute to 28th Street to arouse Editor C. A. Franklin of the Statesman. A colored gentleman of stout build with a "stove-pipe" hat, told us where he resided and a moment later a cheery voice sounded from the depth of a bed-room for it was now about 11 P. M. Mr. Franklin wore the conventional garment of the western gentleman after he has retired, which is a "cross" between a night shirt and an over-coat. But then we shouldn't speak of such things and here is our apology. He carried us to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wilson, 2930 Glenarm Place, where we soon found rest for our weary soul and body until 6:30 the next morning (Monday.) Straighten Your Hair DEAR SIES: I have used only one bottle of your pomade and now I would not be without it for it makes us have no strife and straightness and easy to comb and also starts a new growth. MISS W. (Formerly known as Ozonized Ox Marrow) Fifty years of success has proved its merits. The firmest of mornings makes stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly-hair soft and glossy and easy to comb, and arrange in any style desired consistent with its length. It also prevents dandruff, invigorates the scalp, and prevents or relieves the scalp or breaking off and gives it new life and vigor. Absolutely harmless—used with splendid relief for children. Delicately perfumes every place, measure, as ladies of refinement everywhere declare. Ford's Hair Pomade has imitators. Don't buy anything else alleged to be "just as good." If you want the best, reanit. buy the best Pomade-it will pay on. Look for this name KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. Another New Court in Lynchburg Grand Time There. Lynchburg, Va., Oct. 29, '08. There was a heavy down-pour of rain here yesterday, when Grand Worthy Counsellor John Mitchell, Jr. Dr. E. R. Jefferson and Sir S. B. Baker reached here over the Southern Railway from Orange, Va. They were met at the train by District Deputy Grand Chancellor W. J. Wells and a carriage was waiting to take them to the residence of Col. U. S. G. Patterson, 1308 Wise Street. Sir Mitchell came to organize a Court of Calanthe and despite the inclementy of the weather, the ladies were at Masonic hall with refreshments. The initiation was a success. Several members of the Courts were there to assist. The following officers were appointed and installed: Worthy Counsellor, Mrs. Olivia Burton; Worthy Inspector, Mrs. Lucy B. Storhens; Worthy Inspectrix, Mrs. Mary Goldsberry; Senior Directress, Miss Estelle Burg; Junior Directress, Mrs. Rebecca Calloway; Worily Orator, Miss Florence Hawkins; Register of Deeds, Mrs. Anna B.

Trustees: Mrs. Carrie Miller, Mrs. Jennie Singleton, Mrs. Virgile Bailey. This Court will be known as Peerless Court, No. 141. It was organized through the persistent efforts of Mrs. Bettie P. Dismond, District Deputy Grand Worthy Counselor and Grand Worthy Counselor Mitchell praised her highly for her work. Sir Mitchell dined at her residence today before leaving for home, being accompanied by Sirs Jefferson, Baker and Patterson. He was to have left this morning at three o'clock for Richmond, but received a telegram calling him to Farmville, Va. to set up a ledge. He called up Richmond by long distance telephone and had the same team that rendered service at Orange to bring the paraphernalia and meet him at Farmville. The party accompanied by Sir U. S. G. Patterson left at 2:25 to-day. While here, they met many friends, among them Capt. T. W. Merchant and Sir William A. Merchant. Arrangements were also made for the erection of the Pythian Castle here and the immediate repair of the shed. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS Pythians Enter Farmville.—First Lodge There. Farmville, Va., Oct. 31, '08. After much effort, this town is alive with Pythianism. Dr. J. Alexander Lewis, Grand Master at Arms, and Capt. John G. Smith arrived here from Richmond yesterday afternoon and were met by Rev. R. G. Adams. Shortly afterwards, Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., Dr. E. R. Jefferson, Grand Medical Director and District Deputy Grand Chancellor S. S. Baker and Col. U. S. G. Patterson arrived from Lynchburg. There was a happy reunion. They all repaired to the cosy residence of Rev. R. G. Adams and wife, where supper was served. It was a lively party. The initiation took place at the Masonic Hall and it was enjoyed by all present. The following were appointed officers and were installed by the Grand Chancellor: Chancellor Commander, D. S. R. Wilson; Master of Wrk, Rev. R. G. Adams; Vice Chancellor, J. H. Dean; Keeper of Records and Seal, R. F. Mayo; Master of Finance, J. D. Miller; Master at Arms, W. H. Dean; Prelate, Rev. P. M. Robinson; Inner Guard, J. R. Mayo; Outer Guard, W. F.

Sir Patterson left at about 12:32 for Lynchburg and Sir Mitchell and his party at about 4 o'clock for Richmond. The body will be known as Crescent Lodge, No. 151. It was the work of Rev. R. G. Adams, who was not a member of the Order. Grand Chancellor Mitchell was jubilant. BROWN-AYER. The marriage of Mr. Sylvester J. Brown, formerly of Richmond, Va., but now of New York, N.Y. to Miss Lenora Z. Ayer of Earlyville, N. Y. was solemnized at 8 Market Street, Roxbury, Mass., Saturday, October 24, 1908, Rev. C. A.
