THE RICHMOND PLANET "JACK" JOHNSON The Ebony=hued Fighting Machine too Much for Al Kaufman=Jim Jeffries would be no Cinch with Him. THAT RIGHT UPPER=OUT. VOLUME XXVI, NO. 42. "JACK JOH The Ebony=hue chine too Much man==Jim J be no Cinch THAT RIGHT San Francisco, Sept. 10. —World's heavyweight champion, Jack Johnson, outfought, outpointed and outgeneralized Al Kaufman in their ten-round battle at Coffroth's Colma arena. The giant colored man made the native son look foolish for round after round, staggered him against the ropes, used every punch allowed in the ring, but, to the disappointment of the big crowd, failed to land the sleep producing wallop. Johnson was too careful. His old system of playing safe was evidently his plan of battle. He took no chances. But in spite of this the fight was one of the fastest ever seen on the coast. Kaufman evidently felt that he had everything to gain—it is sure that he had little to lose—and he tried the best he knew to get over a punch that would change the pugilistic map. His wonderful right, the wallop that gained him the name of "One Round Kaufman, was always in evidence but it might as well have been off in the stable for all it was to do. He defense of Johnson. The burly legro literally picked them off—he grooted them off and shot home counters that hurt. Several times he had the native son in trouble, had him reeling and up against the ropes. But—and it is a big BUT—In this case Johnson was not able to get home the punch that could put Big Al down for the "ten." Try as he would, Jack was always a bit short in getting home the finishing blow. At times, too, the negro was in trouble. In the latter rounds Kaufman altered his plan of battle. He began to fight for the stomach and he had Johnson worried. In the last two rounds Johnson tired perceptibly and the tide of battle seemed to be shifting. After two or three hard rights in the wine cellar Johnson slowed so much that the verlest novice could see that he was not the man who had been battering Kaufman about the ring. Then it was that the experts, the men who never miss a move in the ring when a big fight is on, declared that Johnson showed a long head in insisting on a ten-round battle. Had the fight been scheduled for twenty or more rounds the result might have been very difficult. JOHNSON WON EASILY Suffice it to say, however, that the battle was only a ten-round pair, and that Johnson knew, this as well as any one else. He fought a ten-round battle; if he had had to go twenty or more rounds he might have fought differently. As it was, he was the winner by a leguae or more, and none was there at the ringside to gainssay this. Johnson was not in the best of shape when he entered the ring. He was pounds overweight. The champion has been leading a rather "easy" life for months, and champagne, big feeds and other dissipations that come with the easy life had put large rolls of fat on his midriff, at the same time lessening the size of the roll that really counts the roll consisting of green and yellow backs. He looked very good when he entered the ring, but acknowledged that he was many pounds overweight. This surplus of flesh was so evenly distributed over his rany form that he looked to be in great condition. But the fat was there just the same, and when the pinch came in the last two rounds he felt the handicap. There was no particular punch that could be said to have won the fight for the champion. He had everything, and used them all, but his trump card was a right uppercut to the chin that seemed never to miss. At close quarters this was particularly fatal. Time after time the ponderous fist of the negro landed on the jaw of Big Al rocking the native son from the point of contact to his toes. The punch seemed to have everything behind it that Johnson could put there, but still Kaufman stayed on his feet and fought back. Twice during the battle fans at the ringside thought the bout over as this shot to the mark, but, as many times were they disappoint- ed, for Kaufman weathered the storm, and came back for years. But that punch was one that Kaufman could never soo. The big Californiaian has never been accused of having any too much gray matter, but that little he had was surely concentrated on devising a way to stop this punch. He failed, failed dismally. It seemed as though Johnson could shoot it home from any place or angle and the best that Kaufman could do was to take it and hope that it would-not hurt too much. To get down to the real fight. KAUFMAN EMBRACED JOHNSON The first round opened with Johnson shot a left hook to the stomach that made Kaufman realize that he was not in a friendly sparring match. The native son throw out his arms firmly and grabbed the colored men in a close embrace. Johnson, with both arms free, right and left to the body, then grinning—his "golden smile" dropped his hands and waited for Kaufman to break. It was still the Joke to Johnson that he told his friends it would be before the battle started. After Referee Smith had pried Kaufman loose, Johnson stepped back and waited for the next move of his adversary. Kaufman, stung to the quick by some ill-natured remarks from the spectators, rushed and for his pains received two lefts and one right on the jaw that stood him up in his tracks. The blows were of the short arm jolt variety and seemed to sting. But—another big BUT—Johnson stood away and seemed to be more than satisfied with the way matters were going. This gave Kaufman a chance to shake the cobwebs out of his brain and he realized that he was fighting on the wrong system. Kaufman then decided to try boxing, and to the amazement of the crowd beat Johnson to the punch, landing a hard right to the stomach. In return he was coped with a right on the jaw that hurt, and the round ended with big Al hanging on and looking mighty worried. The second round was also all Johnson—there was altogether too much Johnson for the admirers of the native son. He put it all over Kaufman, landing on the jaw and body at will. He opened the round with a straight left to the face that jarred and to prove to Kaufman that the punch was no fluke shot it home again three times. Kaufman swung his right for the jaw, but Johnson picked the wallop off when it got within a sixteenth of an inch of his chin and smiling dersively, slammed home a left to the body and then put the same fist to the (Continued on Fourth Page.)

He stated that he has four children and he and his wife decided to separate, she to take two and he the other two. He found that she had removed to her present quarters. She came to see him and she stated that she was sick and in need of help. He gave her food and even chickens and some money. WENT TOGETHER He and his friend, another colored man were together when he sent him to the house to enquire about his wife. She had asked him if he were coming there that night, but he had said that he would not. When he received the message from his friend, he stated that the girl who stayed with his wife said that she was sick and laughed. He then decided to go up there himself. When he went to the door and knocked and the girl answered, he changed his voice. The girl not knowing him opened the door just a little and he put his knee in the opening and shoved his way in. THREATENED HER She started to the other door when he threatened to kill her if she did so, and he went in and caught the couple as described. The mistake made was that he worked at the Baseball Park when it was the man he caught, who works there. Bernard Christian plays the snare-drum in the Rose of Sharon band and not the man caught. He stated that he would now secure possession of his children and also a divorce. To Invite Bankers Here President Oliver J.

A FATAL QUARREL Trouble Led to Murder—The Survivors Story—Both White and One Much Older Than The Other. After a quarrel over some cattle on the Lipford Dairy Farm, about two and a half miles east of the city. 10th inst. Charles Cooke, a tenant, was shot and killed by T. E. Hampton, an employee. The weapon used was a shot-gun loaded with small shot. Cooke was shot in his left side, and despite he could be brought to the city for an operation. Hampton, who is a boy between the age of eighteen and nineteen years, immediately surrendered to Deputy Sheriff W. W. Sydnor, who carried him to the county jail. He had not been bailed last night. When the killing occurred the two men were alone; hence the story told by Hampton is the only account of the affair that can be had. CATTLE GOT LOOSE He said last night that the cattle which were in his charge got loose and went into the crop of Cooke, who became infuriated and came to him, cursing and abusing him. He declared that Cooke had a blackjack with which he threatened to kill him. Fearing bodily harm, Hampton armed himself with a double-barreled shot-gun and again went out to meet Cooke, warning him to be careful. Cooke, he says, paid no attention to him, but came on with the blackjack in his hand. When some distance off Hampton threw up the gun and fired into the ground, hoping to scare him away. Still, he alleges, Cooke continued to advance, probably thinking that he was afraid to shoot again. When he got within about thirty paces the boy fired the second charge into his left side, just over the heart, and he fell to the ground. IN A DANGEROUS CONDITION Hampton says he went to him at once and saw that he was in a dangerous condition and not able to speak. Then, without saying anything to his employers, he went at once to the house of Mr. Sydnor, the nearest officer to the Llipford farm, and gave himself up, telling the circumstances. Mr. Sydnor placed him under sr- ```markdown ``` rest and telephoned at once for Dr. George E. Barksdale to take charge of the wounded man while he carried Hampton to jail. Dr. Barksdale went as soon as possible, but there was no hope of Cooke's recovery when he got there. Nevertheless, he was hurried to the city, but before he reached Fulton he breathed his last, without gaining consciousness. He was carried to the undertaking establishment of A. C. Nelsen, in Fulton. ACTED IN SELF DEFENSE At the jail last night, Hampton was not the least nervous. He said that he had acted in self-defense, and that it was either that he would have to kill Cooke or be killed himself. He says he is a native of North Carolina, and has been employed on the Lipford farm six months. His mother still lives there. A warrant will be served on him in the jail this morning. Cooke was between fifty and sixty years of age, and was married, but had no children. He had been working on the farm for some time. So far as is known, there had never before been any difficulty between the two. Madam Eldon in the City Do you desire to know anything of your future? Do you wish to hear your past history told?

Chicago, Ill., Sept. 14.—The American Bankers' Association met this morning at 10:30 o'clock. The doors were not opened until 10 o'clock. Then a streaming mass of humanity poured into this magnificent Auditorium Theatre. It is somewhat difficult to describe the scene or to portray its beauty. To the Public. September 1, 1909 after years of service with Capitol and Supply Company, Incorporated I voluntarily resigned my positiv manager of the Company. I wish to take this mean thank you. THOSE UNIFORMED USHERS Uniformed white ushers were at the entrances and they were distributed throughout the theatre to direct the members of the Association to their states location. Every state in the Union was represented. The location was indicated by a magnificent silk banner suspended on a pole; the name of the state being printed in gold. THE EFFECT OF ELECTRICITY To say that the Auditorium theatre is fine describes it mildly. All of the light therein is artificial and what seems to be five thousand electric lights, better known as the incandescent kind gleam and sparkle in the circular roof, reflecting with astounding brilliance the gold trimmings that are every where in evidence. "A THING OF BEAUTY." The rostrum or stage is a thing of beauty. Surrounding it near the ceiling in a circular form is a magnificent oil painting illustrating the song of joy and the harmony or the universe. For the first time we saw scores of ladies denied admittance to the floor of the convention. It has been done before, but it was so quietly done that it was not noticeable. We knew that they were not there, but we never before noticed how they were denied the privilege. THE LADIES' PREDICAMENT They were provided with seats in the magnificent balconies and the boxes. Sitting there in their costly gowns and expensive hats they were objects of beauty, and they afforded inspiration to the speakers. No colored man was visible in all this magnificent assemblage, but John Mitchell, Jr., President of the Mechanics' Savings Bank. THE VIRGINIA BANKERS It was not long before first one white banker and then another who had met him at previous meetings greeted him. Virginia's representatives came in late, but soon they filled up the seats allotted to the Mother State. Their attitude was friendly. (Continued on Fourth Page.) Miss Marie R.

September 1, 1809 after three years of service with Capitol Shoe and Supply Company, Incorporated, I voluntarily resigned my position as manager of the Company. I wish to take this means of thanking the public for the very liberal patronage which they gave me during the time I was in charge and wish to solicit their patronage for a new concern which has been organized and will open up with a full stock of the very best manufactures on or about October 1, 1899, at 712 North Second Street. As Richmond is the second largest shoe manufacturing city in the country it is the purpose of our Company to make a specialty of handling Richmond made shoes and other leading brands. We will handle such goods as Battle Axe, Sampson and Grover's line for tender feet which we will guarantee to suit all classes of the trade. To be convinced, watch the prices, styles, stock and construction. I have had an experience of twenty-seven years in the business, wholesale and retail and know just what is needed in the way of shoes for men, women and children. Thanking you for past patronage and earnestly soliciting your trade in our new business. I am yours respectfully, W. H. HAYES, of W. H. HAYES and Co. Virginia Baptist State Convention Norfolk, Va., Sept. 5, 1909. To the Churches, Sunday Schools and other Organizations connected with the Virginia Baptist State Convention: The Convention has authorized me to send out the news to the churches and pastors, and other bodies connected with us, that the First Sunday in October has been designated "Virginia Seminary" day, at which time special collections are to be lifted for the heating plant to be installed at the school and sent to Rev. A. A. Galvin, D. D., Danville, Va., Treasurer of the Board of Trustees. It is our earnest prayer that you'll not throw this letter aside and forget your obligation to this school. When you stop and think that at least two hundred young men and women are in danger of fire every day and night, in that building where individual stoves are used in the dormitory, you will arouse sympathy in your heart for those students; and, sympathizing, you'll give 'till the stoves have given place to a steam heating plant. Please give the collection. If you find that the First Sunday in October will not suit you, why select another day. But, by all means, send the money for the work. May the Lord bless and preserve you and yours. Yours for the work, R. H. BOWLING. President. Mrs. Susie Ghee, of Chase City, Va., returned home Friday, after two weeks medical treatment under Dr. J.

WHEN Mrs. Brooks found herself alone in the street she walked along mechanically, stunned by what had just occurred. Her heart seemed to be pressed down by a weight, and her breath came painfully through her contracted throat. She could not believe that what she had gone through was real, the thing was so monstrous, so utterly inconceivable. Her husband, Joe, for love of whom she had given up a life of ease, for whom she had borne cheerfully the trials of poverty, in whom she had placed her entire faith, this man, to whom she had yielded herself trustingly, in whom, up to that hour, she had believed as the soul of honor, had stood exposed as a thief and a liar. To save himself from the impending punishment of his dishonesty he was willing to trade the honor of his wife. To maintain himself in the material ease that his thieving had brought them for a few brief weeks he wanted her to prostitute herself for money—had entreated and threatened in his efforts to force her to do this thing! And she, driven to desperation, had let him arrange a rendervous for her with Captain Williams in the latter's rooms! She stopped and leaned against a wall for support. A violent trembling had seized her, and the street lights were whirling about her. "My God!" she groaned. "What shall I do? What shall I do?" The fit of faintness passed off, and she was able to collect her thoughts and consider the best course of action. When she had undertaken to call on Captain Williams at that hour it was with no thought of lending herself to her husband's hideous plan. In a vague, hopeless way she had resolved to beg mercy for him, to see if there was not some manner in which atonement and restitution could be made. Now she was afraid. If she went to him, how could she approach him—what could she say? What would he think of her coming to his rooms, at night too? He would think, and under the circumstances naturally think, only one thing. And she would be completely in the power of this colossus, this ogre whom she secretly feared and detested, who so often had leered his unwelcome admiration of her when she was powerless to resent it. Her impulse was to turn from the ordeal and fly from her husband, leaving him to the fate he merited. She could go to her mother's home and await her return from the theater. She would at least find a refuge there. But in the morning would come the public exposure and disgrace. No; she must make the effort, whatever the cost, whatever the sacrifice. Ten minutes later she was knocking at Captain Williams' apartment. The door swung open, and the captain stood before her. "Come right in, Mrs. Brooks," he invited. "I've been waiting for you." "I was delayed a little," she said timidly. "Your husband telephoned that you were coming." "Yes-1 know." The words came falteringly, and she stood, knowing not what to say or what to do. "Did you meet Smith?" he inquired. "Smith?" "Your friend Jimmy. He just left." "No. Why?" "Must have passed you in the elevator. It does not matter. Won't you sit down?" She took the chair he advanced for her close to the table. "You must excuse the looks of these quarters." he went on. "I am an old bachelor, you know, and my Jan valet B. A. B. "My God!" she groaned. "What shall I do?" "It is a quaint place," ventured Emma. "Yes. Lived here ever since I've been in New York. I fixed it up to suit myself. It ain't what you'd call exactly pretty, but as I'm the only one to be pleased I guess it'll do." "Almost a curiosity shop," she commented surveying the room with a 1 EUCENE WALTER, Author of "Paid In Full" and "The Easiest Way" good deal of nervousness. "Yes, stuff I've collected from time to time while I was at sea. Got about everything I ever wanted to keep, from the wheel of my first schooner down to spears from head hunters. There's models of boats and a lot of stuff. You see, I call this my main cabin— sort of grand salon. Over there I bunk with my crew, just one Jap, and the galley's to the rear. In them rooms Sato gets my breakfast, steals my loose change and lies most of the time. Got another room over there. Seldom use that; got it fixed up nice and civilized. Guess that's why I ain't feeling comfortable if I try it." These details were of no interest to Mrs. Brooks, who desired only to bring the interview to an end as speedily as possible. "I came right up—asked the elevator boy. Perhaps I should have asked at the office," she said. "Not at all," he answered, in a manner intended to be reassuring. "I have my own way in this place. I got the money to pay for what I want, and there ain't no one in this hotel asking me any 'if,' 'and' or 'but.'" "No one knew me. I didn't care that they should hear my name." "It's nobody's business. What I'm entitled to, I'm entitled to, and so long as I pay the money no one else can interfere with the way I run my ship." "Still, a woman—at this hour." "Makes no difference, although you are the first lady to call on me, night or day." "You mean that no woman has ever been in here before?" "I said the 'first lady.'" Mrs. Brooks shuddered, and instinctively she glanced toward the door. "Right over there by the door," he said, pointing to it. "Want to use it?" "Not now, thank you." She cleared her choking throat and started right in to the business that had brought her. "Captain Williams, since you left us tonight Joe—Mr. Brooks—has told me about his difficulty." "So Smith said." "That's what I came to talk about." "Well, that little matter can rest," he said affably. "You've called, and it's the first chance I've had to speak to you alone." "I want to know if there is any way—some arrangement." "No use in looking so glum over a little stolen money. I want to show you my quarters." "I didn't come to see your quarters, cantain. I came to"— "I don't care what you came for, Mrs. Brooks." he declared, with mastodonian playfulness. "I make it a rule that everybody who drops in here, man or woman, has got to listen to me spinning yarns. Now"—Emma was becoming more and more nervous. "I know you will think me rude, but I can't delay," she insisted. "Joe is in great trouble, and some other time I'll hear the yarns." He rose with mock dignity. "You're on my ship, Mrs. Brooks. Please remember every captain is master of his ship, and if you don't listen and like it—mind you, I say like it—I'll clap you in double irons for mutiny." "Captain Williams," she pleaded, "I am sure that you would not displease"— "This little fore and after, Mrs. Brooks," he broke in, picking up the model of the ship on the mantel, "is a model of the Sally Moran, my first command out of Frisco. That's her wheel up there over the door. She laid the cornerstone of my fortune, but she taught me how to fight and have nerve. Took her up into the north Pacific sealing and down on the Japanese coast. Had a crew who wouldn't adorn any high back rover Captain Kidd ever could wish for. If there was any good in that schooner God must 'a' saw it first and hit it." To humor him she had advanced to the mantel. "And is that where you got your awful reputation?" she inquired. The bushy eyebrows came down until the lids were hidden, and his eyes, shining like live coals, were alone visible as he directed his gaze upon her. "Just how bad is that 'awful reputation,' Mrs. Brooks?" "They say," she returned, meeting his gaze steadily, "that you have no heart, no pity, in you; that you'd kill a man in those days with as little feeling as I would kill a mosquito." "Well, I guess the reason you'd kill a mosquito isn't because it's just a mos- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA By John W. Harding Copyright, 1908, by G. W. Dillingham Co. quilo and that you'd like to kill it, but because you are afraid it will bite you. Ain't it?" "Yes." "I had men, Mrs. Brooks, who, if you let 'em go too far, they'd bite, and if you let 'em bite too deep they'd kill. They were the early days of sealers. It was a hard life, and it made hard men. I ain't any better, but I guess I ain't no worse, than lots of others would be fixed just as I was at that time." "I'm glad to hear you say that, captain," she declared, seizing the opportunity. "It opens the way for the business I came on." "Business?" "Yes, business." "But it's after business hours, Mrs. Brooks, and I ain't half spun my yarn. Now, over here I want to show you a couple of spears I got from a lot of head hunters down in the Malay archipelago. You may not know where that is, but I've always had an idea it'where God battened down the devil after that first big row they had you read about in the Bible. I was going ashore, seeing what was doing, when this crew of niggers come down on us like a squall. We had an awful time getting back to the boats, I tell you. We were some cut up, and all I got out of the expedition was one of the big chief's wives." He looked into Mrs. Brooks' eyes. "Took her back to Frisco with me," he added. "Women were scarce in them times—good looking ones." "You took her away from where she belonged?" questioned Emma slowly and incredulously. "She was willing to go. No one ever beat her about the ship, and she lived pretty much as she wanted—three meals a day and no hard work." "What became of her?" "Died—I guess from overeating. You see them two little anchors that chair's made of?" But she had recolled from him, shuddering with horror and aversion. "She died from overeating?" she interrogated. "Have there been many of those?" "No; I learned a lesson. I put the rest on a diet." He seemed to think that this was particularly clever and humorous, for he burst into a loud guffaw. Emma did not laugh. She was more disgusted and apprehensive than ever. The clock struck 11. "Did you hear that?" she said. "I must insist that you let me talk over what I came here for." "Eleven! It ain't late," he replied coaxingly. "Would you like a little something to drink? It's hot tonight." "No, I thank you." "You can have it just as well as not." "I don't care for it." "All right, only I thought I might get it for you. You see, when I heard you were coming here I sent my Jap away." "Why?" "What he don't know won't hurt him." "Is there anything, captain, you're afraid he'll find out?" she demanded frigidly. "Sit down—there, opposite me. I was only thinking of you." "Joe has stolen some money from you." "Too bad! Too bad!" "How much is it?" "What do you want to know for?" "I am his wife. It is my business to know." "There you go, talking business again!" he protested, trying to be gallant and throwing an ogling glance at her. "I so seldom have the pleasure of your company, Mrs. Brooks, that this 'business' thing knocks all the romance out of your visit." "I didn't intend there should be any romance in it, Captain Williams," she retorted stily. "Mrs. Brooks," he went on, ignoring the snub, "a sailorman always finds romance in an evening spent with a pretty woman. I can remember well when the Sally Moran put into Nagasaki for water and fresh provisions a little Japanese girl called on me, and I had a terrible time. I wanted to make things right nice and pleasant for her, but Lord, she couldn't talk a word of English. There she sat all the evening, grinning and making signs, while I was talking my head off trying to tell her how much I loved He laughed aloud as the scene rose before his mind's eye. "Now," he continued meaningly, with an intonation intended to be tender, "when I have a girl like you, who can understand"— "I beg your pardon, captain," she said, very coldly and sternly. "I must tell you that I did not come here to make a social call. I never came to a place like this, at a time like this, to talk to a man like you before in my life." CHAPTER XV. CAPTAIN WILLIAMS' lower jaw advanced, and his pig-gish eyes contracted. He threw off his too amiable demeanor. His voice became harsh and cruel as his natural brutality asserted itself. "A man like me, eh?" be rasped. "That's pretty hard language, Mrs. Brooks." "Please forgive me and let me talk." "If you didn't come here to see me sort of socially, what did you come for?" "About Joe—my husband." "What about him?" "I asked you the amount of the defa- calation." Emma was astounded, and her heart sank. She had not imagined that it could be so large a sum. "Is that the truth?" she asked. "I ain't never been noted for lying." "Captain Williams, I've come here to plead with you to save Joe and me and my family from disgrace—to keep him out of jail. You knew my father. You were in business with him. You always liked him and knew he was an honest man." "He was square in his business dealings with me. Mrs. Brooks, but that' not less than every man has got to be who deals with me." "I know that," she said, her manner becoming supplicating; "I know that, but you must have some respect for his memory, you must have had some affection for him at the time—everybody had—and some pity for me in this trouble. I thought all these things might soften you, might open a way to some arrangement that would save us from the exposure that seems now bound to come tomorrow morning. Isn't there some way out of it?" But he was all business now. He had satisfied himself that he had wasted his time with her. "Have you got the money?" he snapped. "No." "Then what's your proposition?" "I have none," she confessed hopelessly, hanging her head. "Humph!" he settled himself in his chair. "I thought—I thought you might be a little more charitable and suggest some way," she murmured. "Your husband sent you here, didn't be?" "Yes." "What did he say to you?" "Told me I might have some influence with you." She raised her head and looked at him in surprise. "I know the man. Didn't he?" "Yes." "Yes, that's what he said," she admitted wonderingly. "And I suppose he said that if you didn't come you'd have to take the blame for him going to the penitentiary?" "It—it was something like that." "Didn't happen to mention, did he, that he thought I liked you pretty well?" "Y-yes," she stammered, now utterly bewildered. "I—I think that was part of what he said." "Didn't forget that, eh? Well," he continued, looking once more straight into her eyes and putting the issue squarely to her. "I'm here and you're here. That part seems all right. What have you got to say?" She sustained his gaze bravely and answered, though with no hope in her heart: "Is the any honorable way in which I can help him?" "What do you mean by 'honorable?' Emma lost all patience. Her nerves that had been under such severe strain, were getting beyond control She rose, fushing angrily. "You know what I mean by 'honorable.' You know what any good woman an means when she says 'honorable.' You're beating about the bush, Captain Williams. If you want to come to the point, come to it and come to it quickly, I am going home." "Now you're talking, my less," he said grimly, getting up also. "and I'll talk right back to you. If I took your opinion of me and that of your thieving husband I wouldn't have to talk. I'd tell you in plain words that if you wanted to go to San Francisco with me I'd take a chance on the overeating and wouldn't put you on a diet like I put the rest. What would you do then? What if I did make the proposition that's in your mind and was in the mind of that sneaking husband of yours when he tried to put you on the bargain counter and send you over to me to see if I put the price up to sixteen thousand? What if I looked you over and was pleased and thought you cheap at that figure? You say I've killed men. Yes, I have—wrung their heads off with this hand like you'd sling a chicken in the air. You came here for a purpose. You ain't no child. What if I am the beast and the brute you say I am? What'll you do then? I said you was the first lady to come in here. Maybe I made a mistake, but if I did I'll find it out before you leave this room, you understand? I've talked; now you talk." Her reply came with withering scorn: "All right," he said, making a step toward her. "If I am what everybody says I am—what you think I am—you know what to expect, and I don't need to talk." The peril of her situation roused her to desperation, and with it came the courage desperation sometimes imparts, the courage the impels a defenseless animal hunted into a corner from which there is no escape to turn and fight for its life. "You think I'm afraid of you!" she cries, throwing up her head and clenching the hands at her sides. "I tell you I'm not. We've been too long at cross purposes. What you want me to do I know; what my husband sent me for I know. You can be the beast and the brute that you are; he can be the contemptible that he is. He can offer me for sale, and you can stand ready to buy me. But I've got something to say about it, and I desire you to know that if I wanted to place myself on the market, as you say, I couldn't. You disgust me, but I shan't shirk, and I am not afraid of you or of him or of any one. Here" She turned quickly, locked the door, threw the key at his feet and confronted him unfinchingly again. "There's the key to your room. The door is locked, and I am alone with you. You kill men? You wring their necks? Well, Captain Williams, here's your first chance to kill a woman, for that's just exactly what you'll have to do." She saw the glare in the little savage optics under the beetling brows fade out, to be replaced by a gleam of admiration, not the covetous admiration of her shapely, panting form, of her handsome, resolute face, but bonest admiration of the pure soul that shone in her eyes. "I knew you were that kind of a woman," he said, thankfulness and real tenderness in his voice. "If you hadn't done just what you did I'd 'a been the most disappointed man in the world." "What do you mean?" "I mean," he continued, almost reverently, "that I banked on you being good, and you are good. I know women. I've bought mine all over the world, from Hindoos to niggers. But I paid for 'em, and they was always willing to sell. There ain't but two kinds, the good and the bad, and there's no halfway. When they're bad they're bad through and through and can't be good, and when they're good they can't be bad, and they're next to heaven. I figured you good, and if you hadn't been it would have bit me, and bit me hard. You're safer here, young woman, than with your mother, because I'd fight for you, and don't forget I can wring men's necks like chickens." Emma could not comprehend it. "I don't understand you." she fattered. "Maybe you mean you don't believe me," he said, going to the table and taking the paper he had written upon BARRYD "You came here for a purpose. You ain't no child." She made no motion to take it from his hand. "Well, I'll read it for you," he said. "It's addressed to that husband of yours: "Your resignation is accepted. I wish to thank you for your services and to assure you that your accounts with the Latin-American Steamship company have been audited and found to be correct." "Now, Mrs. Brooks, if you'd acted in any way but what you did you would not have got this, but I knew you were good, and you are good." He added with deep feeling, holding out the paper to her again: "It's worth that much to me and a lot more to have a good woman for a sort of daughter. Take it." This time she accepted it mechanically. "Thank you, Captain Williams," she said. The words came in a whisper, almost inaudibly. She tried to read the writing, but tears in her eyes blurred her sight. "You know, Mrs. Brooks," said Williams in a light tone and his usual voice, seating himself in his chair and looking away from her, "before we got to discuss this business I was telling you about the Sally Moran, my first ship. Now, that ship—hear me say ship?—she was only a schooner"—She walked up to him and interrupted him, smiling gratefully through her tears. "What can I do now, captain?" she asked. The telephone bell rang as she spoke. "You might answer the phone," he told her. "I'm getting almighty lazy." She did so. "It's Jimsy-Mr. Smith," she announced. "I kind o' thought that fellow 'd be nosing around instead of going to Boston," he soliloquized. "What's the trouble?" "He's downstairs and wants to know if he can come up." "Sure he can!" "Yes, come up, Jimsy," she called. The captain stroked his face thoughtfully. "When you let him in you sort o' smile and look into his face," he said. "He's a kind of an old baby. Smith is, and it does him a lot of good." "I always smile at Jimsy," she replied. "No one could help that, could they?" "He is an amusing cues," he couced. He reached for the tin of tobacco. "You don't mind if I smoke, do you?" "No, I don't think I'd mind 'if you committed arson." "It's too hot to burn up everything," he laughed. "Besides, there's a lot of folks say I'll get enough fire after my will's read." "They don't know you, that's the trouble," she said, the thankful tears welling to her eyes again as she looked at him. "Smith ain't particular quick about getting here, is he?" he remarked, changing the subject. "After all he said, you'd expect him to be a regular hero and drop in from 'the ceiling.'" "What did he say?" "That's telling," he added, puffing stolidly at his pipe. "You're going to have a hard time letting that man in if you don't find the key you throw around so careless like." She picked up the key and unlocked the door. As she did so Smith knocked, and she let him in. He looked keenly at her as she smiled up into his face, and he took the hand she extended. "We've been waiting for you, Jimsy," she said. "Hello, Smith, ain't going to Boston tonight, eb?" queried the captain. "No; I guess them docks will be there tomorrow," he replied. He drew his revolver, extracted the cartridges with even more than ordinary deliberation and threw them on the table. "I just thought I'd take the pegs out of the heel of that shoe we were discussing some time since and hand 'em to you as souvenirs," he remarked. "Thank you," was the dry rejoinder. "I'd give you the whole darn shoe," added Jimsy with heartiness, "only a fellow never can tell when he's going to have another sore foot." "The trouble with you is, Smith, your foot hurts you before you stub your toe," commented Williams. "I guess that's right," he avowed. "Ready to go home, Emma?" "You wait for me a moment, Jimsy. I want to speak to the captain," she said. "All right," he responded, going outside to ring up the elevator. "Captain, this paper—shall I give it to him?" she inquired. "Who—Brooks?" "Yes." "I would. It clears you." "And you? How can I thank you?" "Don't mind me. Only some time when you get settled down and are living happy again invite me up to tea. Let me put on my slippers and smoke my pipe in the parlor." "Indeed I will. Good night." "And, Emma," he added ere she had reached the door. "I suppose I can call you Emma now, can't I?" "Always." "Pay a lot of attention to that fellow Smith. He's an awful good friend of yours." "I've found that out tonight," she answered. "Good night." "Good night, Emma." When she had gone the old man sat for some time smoking his pipe meditatively. Finally he kicked off his slippers, rose, stretched himself, sat down again, smiled and uttered his thoughts aloud. "Well, Captain Bill," he told himself, "I guess you've paid up a part of that deficit you've owed decency for such a long time." CHAPTER XVL "Hi, there you are!" Mrs. Harris stood glaring at her son-in-law. "I thought you were going to meet us," said Beth, with a toss of her head. "We waited until every one had left the theater," shorted her mother, flipping into a chair and fanning herself vigorously. "I'm sorry. I forgot," explained Brooks, who this time spoke the truth. "Forgot, forgot! That's a nice excuse!" "I said I was sorry," he snapped. "I've been worried about something else." "Just spoiled the whole evening, leaving us there to be insulted by a lot of men." declared Mrs. Harris. "When we were standing in front of the theater, waiting for you, a snip of a boy came up to me and said. 'Hello, little one, aren't you lonesome?'" "Why, I thought he spoke to me!" affirmed Beth. Her mother looked at her indigently. "No, he didn't," she retorted, with asperity. "I guess I know when I'm spoken to. The very ideal! Where's Emma?" Brooks told her that she had gone out for a few minutes. "Who with?" demanded Mrs. Harris promptly. "I think she went alone." "You think she went alone! Don't you know? I don't see how you dare let your wife go out alone in this part of New York at this time of night." "Well, nobody stole you," growled Joe, "so I guess Emma 'll get home safely. Something has probably detained her. That's all I know about it. If she wants to tell you more when she comes that's her business, not mine." "I certainly do not approve of her being out without a proper escort. It isn't ladylike." "What I want to know is, where did she go?" insisted her mother. Brooks turned upon her, and an oath almost escaped him as he snared: "You want to know a good many things, but it seems to me that a man and his wife can have some privacy. I told you she went on business. If she wants to tell you, all right, but don't try to mother-in-law it out of me!" The entrance of Emma and Smith stopped on Mrs. Harris' lips the wrathful retort that had risen to them. She rose and greeted her daughter with an air of maternal solicitude. "Ah, there you are, dear! Where have you been? We've been so worried." "I am a little late." "We were wondering about you, and Joe wouldn't tell," said Beth. "I was taking care of Emma all right," he declared. "You see, I'm a sort of utility man with the ladies—always trailing along in the rear ready to touch my cap and do all the chores and errands necessary." Emma had taken no notice of her husband, whose eyes from the moment of her appearance had been glued avidly upon her. There was nothing in her demeanor to indicate that she had succeeded. Indeed, she appeared baggard and worn out, as she was, for the emotions of the night had left her exhausted to the point of breaking down. His anxiety and apprehension increased as he marked her condition. "Where did you meet her?" he demanded of Smith, with an effort. "On the way home," he answered. Emma went to Mrs. Harris and put her arm around her. "Mother, I'm very tired tonight," she said appealingly. "You won't mind if I ask you to go home and leave me. I've something to tell you some time, but I want to be alone now." "You do look all tuckered out, Emma," commented Beth. "I am. You won't mind, will you, mother?" "Certainly not. I'm hot and sticky myself." "I'll take you to the subway and put you on the car," volunteered Brooks. "You needn't mind," declined Mrs. Harris. "You're too disagreeable tonight. If you bring my purse from Emma's room, Jimmy will take us. Won't you, Jimmy?" "I'm still the utility man," responded the complaisant Smith as Brooks went on the errand. While Beth was putting her mother's hat straight Mrs. Brooks whispered to Smith: "Tell mother as much as I told you and then come back." He nodded. "Come on, folks," he said as Brooks reappeared with the purse. "You know time and the subway wait for no man." Tortured by suspense, Brooks stood watching his wife. The color came and went in his sunken cheeks. It was certain from her attitude that her mission had failed, yet he feared to learn it from her lips. She gave no indication of intention or desire to break the silence or even that she was aware of his presence. He could bear it no longer. "He wouldn't do anything? It's all up?" The words escaped him tremulously, in despairing tone, as though they answered the interrogation. She did not reply, but, rising and drawing from her bosom the paper Captain Williams had given her, handed it to him. He took it hesitatingly, almost fearfully. "For me?" "For you?" As he read it the blood rushed to his face, and he gave a sigh of immense relief. Joyfully he looked over to her, but there was no responsive exultation. She appeared crushed. It might have been his death warrant. Doubting whether he had read it aright, he perused the acquittal again, with increasing exultation. "Emma, you've succeeded!" he cried. "This means he won't prosecute and it's all right. You made him do it. You have saved me!" She nodded her acquiescence, and he went to her, brimming over with relief and gratification, to take her in his arms. "You're the best little girl that ever happened, the pluckiest!"—Gently she pushed him from her. "Please don't, Joe!" "Why, what's the matter?" "I’m tired–very tired." "Of course you are," he said in a tone of concern and tenderness. "You sit down there. I’ll bet you had a hard time. I know what Williams is." He would have led her to the sofa, but again she repulsed him gently. He went to the table and took up the acquittal he had laid on it. "Found my accounts to be correct," he muttered. "That means he will be-e the books fixed up and nothing will show. Did he say much about me?" "Not very much." "But I bet he gave you an awful argument. Williams is not an easy man to get to give in. But here it is in black and white, and he can't go back on this. Did you ask him to put it in writing?" "No." "Then he did it of his own accord. Wonder if he called the detectives off. Did he say anything about them?" "No." "But it's all clear sailing now," he went on, selfishly jubilant, already planning for the future. "I can get another position and a better one. There's enough money left to give me time to find one. Do you think he'll interfere any more, Emma?" "I don't know." "What do you think? You must have some idea." "I haven't the slightest." As he uttered the commendation he tried again to caress her. "Please don't, Joe." This time she rebuffed him sharply and moved away from him. "Oh, all night, if that's the way you feel about it." He turned from her with an injured air and, lighting a cigarette, began to pace the room. Although in his remorse during her absence he had resolved not to ask her what had passed in the captain's rooms, curiosity, now that his confidence had been restored by the proof of immunity, tormented his vicious mind. He was not only ready, but desired to know everything that had occurred even to unavowable details, if any such there were. "He was there when you arrived?" he questioned, seeing that she showed no disposition to talk. "Yes." "Anybody else?" "He was alone." "You must have caught him in a good humor. He'd never have done this in one of his usual grouches. I didn't know you were such a diplomat. What did you say to him?" "A good many things." "Didn't tell him I sent you, did you?" "He knew." "He knew? How did he know? Who told him?" "I don't know. He just knew." "Somebody, must have told him, and you were the only one who knew." "No; he knew too. I didn't tell." "But how did you open the conversation?" he demanded impatiently. "What did you say? What's the matter? Can't you answer me?" "I don't see why I should." "I do. I want to know, and I've a HE PLANET SATURDAY.....SEPT. 18, 1909. right to know." She vouchsafed no reply. He dropped his authoritative tone and became persuasive. "You say he was alone when you ar- rived. How did he receive you?" he coaxed. She remained silent. "What did he say to you? What did he do?" Still she did not answer, but sat as though in a stupor. "Come, Emma, don't`be contrary. Tell all that took place. You know that it is between us-- Did he ask you to kiss him?" "I wonder what time it is," she said, with a shiver, as though she had not heard him. "Never mind the time. What did he say when you asked him to let me off? He must have said a lot. You were gone long enough." "Will you please tell me what time it is?" "It is about 11:30. What of it? Why don't you tell me what happened at Williams?" She rose, still in her stupor of wearliness. "Goodby, Joe," she said. "Goodby?" he echoed, amazed. "Where are you going?" "To mother's. Jimsy's coming back for me." "You didn't say anything to your mother while she was here about this?" "That was for your sake. Every one doesn't need to know." "What are you going to your mother's for? This is where you belong—your home. And what's Jimsy got to do with it?" "I said goodbye." "What's the reason you can't stay here?" "You couldn't expect me to live with you after what happened tonight." "Why not?" There was consternation as well as anger in his voice. "Because it is quite impossible. You ought to realize that." "I don't see why it is impossible. Everything is all right now unless you have got some reason that makes it impossible." "Yes. I think I've all the reason in the world to make it impossible. I think it's time for you to realize it." (To Be Continued.)

Arctic Sport as Described by Nimrod John R. Bradley. HIS JOURNEY WITH DR. COOK How He and the Explorer Killed Polar Bears and Walrus Near Eatah—A Baby Walrus In a Motorboat—Eakimos as Game Protectors. By JOHN R. BRADLEY who paid the cost of the Cook expeditions. [By courtesy of Recreation Magazine.] I started some years ago to shoot in all parts of the world in order to collect specimens of game, so I thought it best to begin at home, in America. I shot in Mexico, New Mexico, Arizona, the Rocky mountains and up in Alaska, then went to Africa and the Altai mountains of northern Mongolia and Siberia. Then came the trip to the arctic with Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the explorer. If you are going up there right you must have a vessel of your own and take chances of losing it going through the ice. The insurance companies will not insure your vessel at any old price. In my case they said I was going too far north. You must take the chances of losing your life as well as your vessel, for you are navigating through waters that are not charted, over rocks not discovered and through fogs five days out of seven in the week. Then when you get the game you must get out on the ice or in a small boat. How Eskimos Kill Bears. The Eskimos make breeches out of bearskin, and in the winter time they must kill these bears for their clothing. The dogs run the bears down, and four or five dogs hold them up while the native lances and bleeds them to death. You can do it the same way with a gun. The dogs run your bears up, and then you shoot them. That is one way of doing it. Another way is to go out in a small boat and get out on the S. JOHN R. BRADLEY, HUNTER AND EXPLORER ice and chase them up. They are not as dangerous as people think they are. The polar bear, for instance, doesn't seem to charge as the grizzly bear does. The polar bear has to swim to you, seated in your boat, and I killed one of them once when I was in by pajamas. I was lying one morning in the schooner in which we were cruising, reading a book, when the man at the helm hollered out "Polar bear" "I came out on deck and saw one on the ice. I got my gun without thinking of putting on my clothes. There were two men out in a dory, all excited. I said, "Don't get excited; row up to the bear." The bear weighed eight or nine hundred pounds and he was on a cake of ice about three or four acres square and four or five hundred yards from the vessel. As we rowed up to the bear he jumped off the ice and came toward us. Now and then he would rise partly out of the water to see what we were doing. At about seventy-five yards I hit him low in the shoulder, and he then swam to a little piece of ice. I hit him again, and he swam back to the big piece of ice. I told the men to get up closer, but they were afraid the bear would upset the boat. I said, "Row up alongside of him," and finally we got on the ice, where I killed him. Then I put a rope around him and towed him to the ship, and we yanked him up on the vessel. The dogs on the vessel were sitting there waiting until we could cut him up to get some to eat. Harpooning the Walrus. The most exciting sport is harpooning walrus, and this is the best sport in the arctic. They weigh between sixteen and seventeen hundred pounds, with good big ivory tusks. The natives kill them for meat for themselves and their dogs. Two go in a kayak and get close up on a bunch of walrus, generally on the ice sunning themselves. They get up to the walrus and maneuver around, setting up a piece of skin on the boat so that the animals can't see them. When they get in striking distance, at least twenty-five feet, they harpoon them. Harpoons are made of wood for the handle—driftwood, probably some hundreds of years old, which has been handed down from one generation to the other. The lances are made of ivory or cariboo horn. The line they use to tie the harpoon on to the float is of walrus hide. After they get the harpoon in the walrus they let go the float. They have a big sealskin blown up with air, a big air bag, and they let that go, and on that is a sort of sail, a four cornered thing made of sealskin, so that it will hold the walrus back from swimming too fast. After getting the harpoon fito the walrus they back away. The animal has to get up every five minutes to breathe, and it tries to get up on the ice, and the men then throw a big THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Wory lance, and they keep on dolphin that until the animal bleeds to death. I watched them one day for about two hours, getting one big walrus. I was in my motorboat at the time, and I said. "I can beat that way." cedo kill walrus quicker than the native can harpoon them." The first officer was at the wheel and Dr. Cook at the stern, and I had the whole boat, which was about thirty feet long, to myself I had a harpoon, but was going to try to kill them with a rifle. You must hit them in the head—otherwise they will go into the water—and you must kill them with a steel bullet. So we maneuvered through the ice until we saw about thirty walrus on a pan of ice about 200 feet square. I said to my first officer, "Go up on the ice." We had heard how dangerous the walrus were—that they could easily kick a plank out of the boat. The first officer was rather afraid and said, "If a walrus gets in the boat I will hit him with an ax." I said: "They can't catch this boat. Go right around and around and I will do the rest of it." There were about thirty walrus. I killed three of them and the others charged the boat, but as we went around they could not catch us. We secured the wounded walrus, cut them up and put them in the dory. We cached the meat for Dr. Cook's expedition. Baby Walrus In a Boat The natives stack it up the same as wood and freeze it. I chased up a herd of females once—the males are generally together and the females are together with their young—I chased this bunch of eight or nine females. I didn't know they were females until after I had killed some of them. We got up pretty close and circled around, and as we did so I wounded some of them, among others one youngster. Then the whole bunch stood round the youngster, which weighed about 200 pounds. The mother was around this youngster, holding it up, and that gave me the chance to kill the old ones. Those in the dory began pitting the harpoons in the old ones so they would not sink. I just wounded this youngster, which could not swim. Dr. Cook and I pulled him in the launch, and it almost upset the boat—he was about five or six months old—and all at once he began to flap and set up his fins. I was sitting on him, and he threw me off. I had to hit him over the head with an ax and kill him or he would have upset the boat. The natives all laughed. They thought it was such great fun getting this live walrus in a boat. We were about eight or ten miles from the vessel, so we tied those we had killed and pulled them up on the shore, eight in all. I went out the next day and killed five in the same place. I finally killed all there were in the herd. This was about eight miles from Etah, about 7S.18 north latitude. Then I used to go out and get arctic hares, which are really big rabbits. The natives make boots out of the sealskin and use the hares for their socks. Their underclothes consist of a shirt, for which they use auk. That is what they wear during the winter time, and Dr. Cook and all of his men wore the same. Sometimes there would be a school of walrus of one or two hundred, all together, very close to the vessel. They would come up to breathe, and I used to have a lot of fun harpooning them. We would tie them to the boat after harpooning them, and they'd give us a good ride, but they were quite liable to pull our boat over. Dr. Cook and the Musk Ox. The natives kill all this game with harpoons, for they have no other way, though in late years some of them have had Winchester rifles that Peary gave them. They are very curious and try to take the rifle apart to see how it is made, and then the rifles get out of commission. I left Dr. Cook fifteen rifles and plenty of ammunition, which he lent to the natives, with four or five cartridges each, and when they went out shooting they must bring in game for it, and then the rifles were taken away from them until they went out again. There are plenty of musk oxen up in Ellesmere Land, which Dr. Cook encountered on the dash to the pole. When the natives kill these animals they freeze them and use every bit of them and pile them up for the dogs and the natives. They make caches at different points in crossing the island. Hunting musk oxen in Ellesmere Land is not at all like hunting them in the far north of Canada. Away up there in Ellesmere they are not nearly so active and are more stupid. There is less sport in shooting them, of course, but Dr. Cook was concerned only in getting food. The casual reader may have formed the conclusion that we did a lot of unnecessary promiscuous killing. On the contrary, we shot nothing which we did not need. There is nothing to be had for food and for making clothing in the far north but wild animals and fish. The most successful men in that part of the world are the best hunters. These primitive people, with all their low mentality, have much better ideas of game protection than the average American. And it is well, indeed, for their whole existence depends upon the fauna of that unhospitable region. Needless to say, they are all good hunters. All Directors: He was the wag of a merry party on the train, and when the conductor appeared he leaned back and assumed the expression of a man who owned the line. "Ticket, sir." The joker nodded. "Ticket." Then the joker spoke freezingly: "How long have you been stationed here, my man? Don't you know me? I'm Black, director!" But the ticket collector wasn't impressed. "That's funny," he said. "So am I. We're all directors about here. I'll direct ye to the station master, he'll direct ye to the policeman, and he'll direct ye to the magistrate. He'll direct ye to pay the fine—unless he directs ye to jail—and then"— But the joker directed his hand to his pocket and produced the ticket.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 18, 1909. JACK JOHNSON'S LATEST The sporting public is no longer doubting that Jack Johnson, the heavy-weight champion of the world is able to defend the title. His exhibition in the bout with Al Kaufman at Colma, showed that he was good at all kinds of fighting. He was admittedly not in the best condition and yet he displayed a generalship and demonstrated his ability to whip the best man in the ring today. There can be no doubt, but what Jack Johnson will do much to call attention to the fact that the colored people of this country can "make good" if they are given the chance. Even the people, who are disposed to frown upon the prize ring as demoralizing are exhibiting a keen interest in these contests. No ordinary man can reach the top-notch in the field of athletics without winning praise from an admiring public. We hope that he will win in his bout with Stanley Ketchel and we pray to live to see the day, when ex-Champion Jim Jeffries will have an opportunity of measuring arms with him. --- The contest now being waged between Explorer Frederick A. Cook and his friends on the one hand and Explorer Robert E. Peary on the other is interesting to say the least. From the descriptions published by both, it would seem that they agree as to the conditions existing at the North Pole. So far as we are concerned, we do not see that any material good can come from the controversy. We notice that the seasons are changing and that winters here are not as severe as they once were. This change is no doubt responsible for the ability of either or both of the explorers to reach the North Pole. A TEACHER'S DEADLY AIM From killing colored folks, the white folks of Arkansas have gone into the business of killing each other. The following telegraphic report sounds strange: Gravette, Ark., Sept. 11.—John Butram, a pupil, was killed yesterday by his teacher, A. T. Kelly, at a school near here. Butram had caused the teachers of "Bear Hollow" school considerable trouble and had succeeded in thrashing two of them. When Kelly took the school he went "prepared to teach." Young Butram is said to have announced that there would be no school yesterday, and Kelly insisted that the session would continue as usual. During the discussion Butram drew a knife, whereupon Kelly shot him. Kelly surrendered. We are of the opinion that A. T. Kelly has demonstrated his ability to get order and that if he is permitted to teach in that neighborhood marble slabs will be over the graves of the unruly pupils if he fails to get the proper order in that school-room. There are times, when even a long-suffering school-teacher will turn and rend you. E. H. HARRIMAN SINKS TO DEATH FAMILY WERE AT BEDSIDE Death Came Peacefully and His Mind Retained Its Integrity Almost to the End—Funeral Services to Be Held Sunday Afternoon—Estimates of His Fortune Vary From $50,000,000 to $100,000,000. Edward H. Harriman, the greatest organizer of railroads the world has ever known, met the only lasting defeat of his active life at the hands of death. Secluded in his magnificent home on Tower Hill, at Arden, N. Y., and surrounded by the members of his family, physicians and nurses, he succumbed to an intestinal disorder after a fight against disease which will rank for sheer grit with his remarkable struggles in the financial world. He was sixty-one years of age. The funeral took place on Sunday, interment being made in the Episcopal cemetery. Mr. Harriman died peacefully, and almost to the end his brilliant mind retained its integrity. After a relapse on Sunday he sank steadily, and on Thursday there came a relapse which marked the approach of the end. His wife, his two daughters, the Misses Mary and Carol, and his sons, Walter and Roland, who have been consonantly with him, assembled at the bedside and a carriage was hastily dispatched for Mrs. Simons, whose home is here in Arden, three miles from the Tower Hill mansion. Driving hurriedly up the mountain side, Mrs. Simons entered the great silent house in time to be present at her brother's death. She joined the wife and children, who, with Dr. W. G. Lyle, of New York, and Orlando Harriman, a brother, and the nurses, formed a group at the bedside. While the policy of reticence that prevailed during Mr. Harriman's illness was maintained by most of his relatives and associates after his death, Orlando Harriman, whose home is in New York, discussed the funeral arrangements briefly. He said that Mr. Harriman would be buried in the family plot in the little graveyard behind St. John's Episcopal church at Arden. He will rest beside his eldest son, Edward H. Harriman, Jr., who died twenty-two years ago, soon after the family first come to Arden. The service will be held at 3:30 on Sunday afternoon and, it is understood, will be strictly private. Recent estimates of Mr. Harriman's personal wealth have varied all the way from $50,000,000 to $100,000,000. He was, of course, a large holder of securities of the various corporations with which he was identified including in addition to the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific systems, over a score of smaller or tributary properties, not only in this country, but in Mexico as well. Report credited him with large personal holdings in the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road, Baltimore & Ohio, Delaware & Hudson, Erie, Illinois Central, New York Central and the Pacific Mall Steamship company. His holdings of Brooklyn Rapid Transit stock and bonds were very large a few years ago, and these have probably been increased in late years. He was reported to have been the largest individual stockholder in the Wells Fargo Express company, which only recently acquired a virtual monopoly of the express business in Mexico. General Corbin Dies at Hospital Lieutenant General Henry C. Corbin, U. S. A., retired, died in the Roosevelt hospital in New York, after an operation for a disease of the kidneys. General Corbin would have been sixty-seven years old in a few days. Mrs. Corbin and ex-Governor Myron T. Herrick, of Ohio, his personal friend, were at his bedside when death occurred. General Corbin had been suffering for two years from the malady which ultimately resulted in his death. Accompanied by Mrs. Corbin and the general's daughter, Mrs. Usher Parsons, of Ardsley, N. Y., he went to Carlsbad for treatment on June 12 last. The waters appeared to have improved his condition after two weas stay and he returned to England, where his former trouble recurred, and he went to Paris to consult with physicians. The general's trouble developed more seriously while he was in Paris, and he determined to return to New York. He sailed on the steamer Rotterdam, which arrived here on Sunday last. The general was taken to the Hotel Martinique in this city, and Dr. Frank Erdwurm' was summoned. The physician advised that General Corbin be removed to the Roosevelt hospital, and he was taken there on Monday. The operation was performed Tuesday. Following the operation, General Corbin revived and the work of the surgeon was regarded as a success, but later a weakness of the heart developed and death ensued a few hours later. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA. TAFT FAVORS CENTRAL BANK Discusses Monetary Situation in Boston Speech. The President Declares the Rhode Island Will Lecture in Many Cities on the Defects and Needs of Our Monetary System. Boston. Sept. 15.—President Taft's first public utterance since congress adjourned was made in this city before 2000 men representing the combined business interests of Boston. The occasion was a banquet given in Mechanics' hall by the Boston Chamber of Commerce, recently formed by a merger of the Boston Merchants' association and the Associated Board of Trade with the chamber, and it marked the beginning of the president's 13,000-mile trip through the country. The features of the president's addresses were his endorsement of the proposition to establish a central bank in connection with currency reform, his words of high praise of Senator Nelson W. Aldrich, of Rhode Island, head of the national monetary commission, and his repudiation of any attempt to start a sectional strife in the country, such as that which he attributed to Governor Johnson in "calling upon the west to organize against the east." Among the guests were cabinet members, diplomats, congressmen, clergymen and distinguished business leaders. The President's Speech. Speaking of the monetary situation, Mr. Taft said: "It is quite apparent from the statements of Mr. Vreeland, who is now the head of the committee on banking and currency in the house of representatives, and from the conversations of Mr. Aldrich, who is the chairman of the monetary commission and of the finance committee of the senate, that the trend of the minds of the monetary commission is toward some sort of arrangement for a central bank of issue, which shall control the reserve and exercise a power to meet and control the casual stringency which from time to time will come in the circulating medium of the country and the world. "Mr. Aldrich states that there are two indispensable requirements in any plan to be adopted involving a central bank of issue. The one is that the control of the monetary system shall be kept free from Wall street influences, and the other that it shall not be manipulated for political purposes. These are two principles to which we can all subscribe. It is quite possible that the report of the commission of a definite conclusion may be delayed beyond the next session of congress. Meantime the members of the commission intend to institute a campaign of education in order to arouse public opinion to the necessity of a change in our monetary and banking systems, and to the advantages that will arise from placing some form of control over the money market and the reserve in the hands of an intelligent body of financiers responsible to the government. Aldrich to Lecture on Currency Defecta "I am told that Mr. Aldrich will 'saw around the circle,' in the present fall, and will lecture in many of the cities of the middle west on the defects and needs of our monetary system. I cannot too strongly approve of this proposal. Mr. Aldrich, who is the leader of the senate, and certainly one of the ablest statesmen in financial matters in either house, has been regarded with deep suspicion by many people, especially in the west. If, with his clear-cut ideas and simple, but effective style of speaking, he makes apparent to the western people what I believe to be his earnest desire to aid the people and to crown his political career by the preparation and passage of a bill which shall give us a sound and safe monetary and banking system, it would be a long step toward removing the political obstacles to a proper solution of the question." Mother Falls Upon Baby and It Dies Mother Falls Upon Baby and it Dies. Pittsburg, Sept. 15. — Kenneth C. Lewis, seven weeks old, died from a fracture of the skull at the home of his parents. The injury was received when his mother, while carrying him downstairs, stumbled and fell upon him. The child's head struck against the floor and it lived but a short time. The mother is in a critical condition from continued hysterics. Child Coasting is Kicked to Death. Pittsburg, Sept. 15. — Esther Bender, seven ears old, as coasting on a small wagon near her home n Wilkinsburg. The wagn ran against the hind legs of a huckster's horse, which kicked, crushing the skull of Esther, who died instantly. Snow In Colorado Grand Junction, Colo., Sept. 15. Grain fields in the vicinity of Gunnison and Telluride are buried under a blanket of snow as a result of heavy storms. Killed by September Sunstroke. Bellefontaine, O. Sept. 15- Sherman Rhoades, a meat dealer of Lake View, died from the heat. He was stricken while visiting a park. Being Drunk Saves My Being Drunk Saves Murderer's Neck. William Woods was found guilty of murder in the second degree at Chambersburg, Pa. While under the influence of liquor, on May 1, he killed Lewis Brown with a knife at Brown's home, on Water street, in this city. A majority of the jury wanted to convict Woods of first degree murder, but others held that he, being drunk, should not be hanged. "Jack" Johnson jaw. Kaufman was sent staggering against the ropes. Instead of getting after his man then and making a good job or what he had started so well, Johnson stood off and let his man come back. He still seemed to think the fight a joke and wanted to make a show of his man. In the third round began the fireworks that made the fight the fastest seen on the Coast in years. Kaufman started with the evident intention of winning out or getting put away. With a rush he was after Johnson and the colored man met him in the exact centre of the ring. Kaufman shot his right to the stomach and his left reached the jaw. Ther was a lot or force to the right, but the left was weak. Johnson hooked his right to the jaw, shot the left to the stomach and as Kaufman came to, close quarters uppercut with the right to chin. Twice before Al could get his arms about the colored man and hang on for protection Johnson got home this right uppercut and behind each punch, these seemed to be all the power the negro had in his body. But Al did not drop. He was hurt, but able to hold and lasted the round out. KAUFMAN ROUGHED IT The fourth was about the same as the third round only that the fighting was more fierce. Kaufman evidently had been told that he had no chance to win unless he roughed it with the negro. And rough it he did. The round was one long hard fight—almost a rough and tumble affair. During it all Johnson showed that he was a past master at this sort of milling as well as at long range, and it was soon apparent that Kaufman's seconds had made a miss in advising their man to get in and take a chance. From this round to the ninth there was little to the battle, but Johnson. He landed when and where he pleased and in return was little damaged. Kaufman, game as a blooded dog, fought his best, but his best was not good enough to beat the big ebony-howling fighting machine he faced. He was strong all the time though and lived up to his reputation of being a long distance fighter of the highest order. In the ninth came the change that caused amusement. Before the bell rang the fight was all Johnson. One minute after the milling had been resumed Kaufman's friends were velling like mad for their man to go in and finish the negro. He had landed twice in the stomach and so powerful were the blows that they took fifty per cent of the fight out of the champion. For the first time in the fight Johnson lost his smile and began to look worried. He still had his cleverness and fought along, giving Kaufman more than he received, but the sting was missing in his punches and this made Kaufman wade in and fight like a demon. Time after time he reached the body, taking in exchange some smashes on the jaw that should have stopped him. But he was not in the ring to stop and he kept after the colored man like a terrier after a rat. Johnson spent all his time in blocking and countering on the chin and he was a mighty busy black until the bell ended the round. The final round was the best of the battle in many ways. The fighting was not as curious as in some of those that preceded it, but there seemed always to be a chance for a decisive result. First Johnson would appear to have his man out, then Kaufman would come back with a punch in the middle works that would worry the champion and make him look serious. But the supreme skill of the black man was always there, and at the end he was an easy winner. The fight showed positively that even Jim Jeffries would have no cinch with Johnson. But the colored man will have to get very busy and train like a real fighter. He was not in the shape for a hard fight, and had the battle been scheduled for five more rounds he would have had a tough job in holding the advantage to the end. Johnson was a great favorite with the experts and thousands of dollars were wagered at 10 to 4 that he would win—receive the newspaper verdict. At these odds the Kaufman admirers unbelted for their bundles and there was none of the Johnson money left at the time the men clambored through the rope. Another popular bet was that Kaufman would last ten rounds. His friends wagered at 2 to 1 on this proposition. Johnson thought this the better and he gave his manager $1,000 to speculate on the proposition. JOHNSON A TRIFLE HEAVY The gladiators looked the perfect athletes when they entered the ring. It is true that Johnson carried a trifle too much weight, but the excess baggage was so evenly distributed all over his rangy form that it was not noticed. The scales, though, told the story, for the champion was about 210 pounds when he tried the weight machine. Kaufman looked to be fit to fight a dozen men. He said he could never be better, and on appearance he told the truth. As he stood in the ring he looked like a statue, perfectly proportioned, and his friends declared that he would win from Johnson on condition alone. They also boasted that the native son had his wallop—the blow that earned him the name of "One-Round" Kaufman—and that he would be able to get it home on the jaw of his giant adversary before the tenth round ended. The appearance of the men in the ring was the signal for an outbreak of applause such as is only heard when two well-liked fighters toe the mark. Johnson was first to crawl through the ropes. He got a royal cheer, to which he replied with one of his golden smiles and many bows. The champion walked about the ring, reaching through the ropes and shaking hands with his many friends. He seemed the personification of confidence and appeared to look upon the whole contest as the joke he has always said it would be. CHAMPION SURE OF WINNING. The giant colored man told the newspaper men at the ringside that he would win within six rounds. He seemed positive that Kaufman would never even get near him except when stopping rights and lefts. Finally, after a lot of persuasion, Johnson pranced over to his corner and took his chair. He was at once surrounded by his army of handlers, and the grooming for the fray began. Bob Armstrong. Young Peter Jackson, George Little, Barney Furey and Dave Mills looked after the big fellow. Shortly after the commotion aroused by the appearance of Johnson subsided, Kaufman started the whole thing over again. Flanked by Mark Shaughnessy, Jake Cordell and Luke Taylor, he pushed his way through the aisles and hopped over the ropes. He seemed as spry as a colt. He was given a much greater reception than the champion for the Californians always stick to the native son. Soon after Kaufman entered the ring Referee Eddie Smith got the men together and told them how he would interpret the rules. There was no argument put up and the men were sent back to their corners. Then Billy Jordan, the oldest and sprest announcer at affairs pugilistic, went through theaces. He introduced Johnson as the "champion of the world." and Kaufman as the "biggest and best-loved native son." KAUFMAN STAYS LIMIT Johnson Outpoints Blacksmith in a Unique Mill. San Francisco, Sept. 9.—In a contest unique in local prize fight animals Jack Johnson was credited with a "newspaper" decision over Al Kaufman at the end of ten rounds today at Coffroth's arena. According to agreement, if both men were on their feet when ten rounds had been fought, no decision was to be given. Referee Eddie Smith, however, stated Johnson was entitled to the verdict. Johnson employed tantalizing lefts and forceful right uppercents with such frequency that Kaufman was fairly bewildered. Early in the contest his face began to show signs of Johnson's stinging punches, and in the third round a well-directed blow started the blood flowing from Kaufman's face. ONLY TOYED WITH KAUFMAN Johnson appeared to be holding himself in reserve, and it took constant gibbing by the spectators and an occasional punch from the blacksmith to start him going. When he did let go he played with Kaufman as if the latter were a child. In the ninth round Kaufman found Johnson's stomach with a vicious right swing. It was Kaufman's best blow, and it made the negro more careful. The contest proved, fight experts say, that Kaufman should shun short round affairs. He appeared to gain strength as the battle progressed, while Johnson, who apparently had trained none too well, began to show signs of weakening. The fight by rounds: THE FIGHT BY ROUNDS First round—Johnson opened the battle with a well-placed left hook to the stomach. The men then mixed at close range. Johnson landed right and left shortarm punches to the jaw. Johnson smiled and brought right and left to the face. Kaufman looked a bit worried at this stage and sparred for half a minute. Johnson closed in, landing short-arm rights and left to the head. There was little sting in them however. Just before the round ended, Kaufman shot a right and left to the jaw, the champion only smiled. Kaufman seemed slow in comparison with the fast work of Johnson. Second round—Johnson wrestled Kaufman against the ropes and a moment later drove a straight left to the face. He followed this with a left to the body, and then quickly whipped a left to the blacksmith's jaw. Kaufman appeared confused. They closed in and Johnson rocked Kaufman's head with a short-arm swing that carried no steam. Johnson had the better of a tame round, Johnson smiled and cracked jokes at the spectators. Third round—They rushed in close. Johnson driving a wicked left to the jaw which he followed with a hard clout in the stomach. Johnson then uppercut twice with his right to the mouth and blood spurted from Kaufman's mouth. Johnson planted an awful right wallop on Al's bleeding face, and forced the blacksmith to stall. Johnson taunted Kaufman good naturely and varied this with two fearful jolts to the jaw. The bell rang and Al tumbled into his chair with blood flowing in a veritable stream from his mouth and nose. It was apparent that Johnson was clearly Kaufman's master and could finish him at such time as he was ready to cut loose. Fourth round—Kaufman, after some sparring drove a hard right to the stomach. This angered the champion and he quickly beat the Californian against the ropes, planting right and left to the jaw. After some clinching Kaufman drove his right to the stomach and Johnson grinned and winked at his seconds. Both men eased up. Kaufman seldom landing. The round ended tamely and it looked as if Johnson deliberately slowed. Up to this Kaufman failed to read and had landed but two punches, both to the stomach. Fifth round —'Keep quiet over there,' yelled Johnson at one of the newspapers photographers. The men fought to close quarters and Johnson uppercut twice with his right, lifting Kaufman's head a foot. Johnson was quickness and nimbleness personified. The champion drove right and left to the stomach and had Kaufman constantly on the defensive. Kaufman made two weak efforts to land. The fighters battled around the ring without any serious Sixth round—Kaufman was short with a left lead and the men clinched. Johnson suddenly broke loose and sent the California almost into the press stand with a left hook to the body and a right across to the jaw. "Mix it, Al," the crowd yelled, and Al did so. But he found Johnson waiting for him and the latter showed that he was master of the situation at any style of fighting that Kaufman could bring to him. The round closed with ineffectual exchanges, Johnson having everything his own way. Seventh round—Kaufman tried with left for the jaw, but it was so easily blocked that the crowd yelled derisively. Kaufman fought in close, but not a blow landed, the black man smothering every attempt Kaufman started the crowd into a real cheer by planting right and left to the stomach. A long clink followed, during which Johnson held back and cut loose alternately. The gong ended a featureless round. It was apparent to all that Johnson was holding himself in reserve and only opened up when the fancy took him. Eighth round—Johnson opened with a straight left to the jaw, and as the men closed in the black swung right and left with great force to the jaw and mouth. Kaufman backed away, seldom if ever leading, despite instructions to do so from his advisers. Johnson again started the blood from Kaufman's mouth, hard right and left arm swings doing the business. As Kaufman closed in. Johnson uppercourt twice to the jaw with his left, for which he was rebuked by a hard right hook to the stomach, the best blow Kaufman had landed. Johnson kept up an incessant exchange of badimage with the crowd during the minutes' respite. Ninth round—Kaufman forced the smile from Johnson's face by clutching him in the stomach with a pile-driving right. For a fleeing moment the black fought back a bit wildly. He quickly regained his composure and sent right and left with great force to the jaw. With the return of Johnson's smile he drove Kaufman against the ropes and landed twice with long-range lefts. The round ended with the crowd jeering Johnson and some of the spectators started to leave the arena. Tenth round—After constate, sparring Johnson hooked his right to the jaw. Kaufman came back and landed right and left to the face as they mixed it in the center of the ring. After Johnson, goaded by these punches, had shot a stiff left to the face, Kaufman landed twice on the body with lefts, then sent a hard right to the stomach and the men mixed it without damage. The crowd jeered. The round and fight ended with both men slugging ineffectively at each other. JOHNSON BEATS KAUFMAN Colored Champion Shows Surprising Form. San Francisco. Sept. 9. —Heavyweight champion Jack Ackman surprised all experts this afternoon by the ease with which he defeated A.Kaufman in the ten round fight at the Mission street arena. From the first half of the first round Johnson proved himself master of Kaufman at every angle of the game, and though the plucky Californian lasted the limit this was largely due to the fact that Johnson didn't force the fighting in the early rounds, and when he tried to finish his man in the seventh and succeeding rounds he didn't have enough steam. Johnson's most effective blows were a heavy left hook to the heart and a right upper arm, which he landed at will when coming out of clinches. Johnson didn't stand away and spar, but fought up to Kaufman and thus prevented the Californian from utilizing his great reach. Nearly every blow or Johnson reached its mark, and Kaufman's face was covered with blood after the first round. So easily did Johnson outclass Kaufman that it seemed he could have ended the fight at any stage, but Kaufman's pluck and enormous strength prevented the champion from scoring a knockout. In one of the middle rounds Johnson, with his hands stretched at his side, laughingly asked Kaufman to come and get him. In the eighth, ninth and tenth Johnson was more serious of purpose. "Break, Kaufman, break," he called as Al held close. But Al didn't break, and with blood streaming all over his face from wicked uppercuts stayed until the last. There is no question that Johnson was trying hard for a knockout in the final round. He followed the white boy relentlessly around the ring to cut loose some hard punches. Once in the tenth Johnson sent Kaufman against the ropes and partially through them with a volley of lefts and rights, but when Al came back the black slowed up somewhat, and at the close Kaufman was fighting his best, sending in body punches in clinches, which however, were hardly strong enough to bother Jack. For all that every round was overwhelmingly in favor of Johnson from any point of view; it was a contest well worth watching and one that pleased the big crowd. Kaufman's inability to cope with Johnson, who was the more powerful of the two, was disappointing to his admirers, but the cleverness of the champion, the coolness with which he blocked out his work and the rarity with which he missed were amazing. In clinches and out of them he beat Kaufman as he pleased. At long range he jabbed the white man about the face and brought blood in the first round. In clinches he showed the development of a punch which experts had claimed he couldn't use successfully against Kaufman. It was a right uppercut, and with it Johnson dealt many a blow that must have hurt. His plan of battle in using the right uppercourt was as simple as it was effective. Coming into a clinch with his right hand pressed against his breast he would allow Kaufman to clinch with his left. Pulling back with his head Johnson would cause Kaufman to step back and then $3.50 RECIPE CURES WEAK MEN-FREE Send Name and Address Today You Can Have It Free and Be Strong and Vigorous.

Continued from the First page. PRESIDENT REYNOLDS PRESIDES President George M. Reynolds, of Chicago, was at his best and he presided with the skill of an experienced parliamentarian. There were here some of the leading financiers or the country. These wealthy gentlemen are unostentatious and quiet in their demeanor. It seems that wealth is a great settler so to speak. Vain boasting is foreign to their natures. It has been estimated in round numbers that fifteen thousand million dollars worth of the wealth of the country is represented by this army of financiers. And yet from the quiet manner in which they trangact business one would never think it. Senator Teller occupied a seat on the stage. SEC. FARNSWORTH'S ABILITY Secretary Frederick E. Farnsworth, of Michigan has an able corps of assistants. So far as he is concerned he performs his duties without perceptible effort. There was one gentleman who was the cynosure of all eyes. He is a quaint commonplace looking old gentlemen, this is Hon. Joseph Cannon, speaker of the House of Representatives. THE SPEAKER APPLAUDED When he was introduced, the usual forms and ceremonies were forgotten by the practically unanimous hand clappings that told him how glad the wealthy men were to see and hear him. Speaker Cannon began his remarks in a voice so low that it could not be heard beyond the first five rows of seats, but he soon spoke louder and no one failed to hear his humorous, weighty and emphatic remarks. A REMARKABLE CHARACTER He is truly a remarkable character. He discussed the emergency currency laws, the Currency Commission, declaring that the last currency agitation had cost the whole country five hundred million dollars and that a similar experience would not be the legacy of this country for a decade at least. A WORD ABOUT THE "KICKERS." He paid his respects to the "kickers" and he declared that he had no idea of resigning the speakership as long as a majority of the congressmen wanted him to serve them. He spoke of the so-called bossism, ridiculed the idea of czarism and declared that no one could prevent the consideration of any given proposition or measure if the majority of the congressmen wanted it considered. MUCH AMUSEMENT FOR THE AUDIENCE He created much amusement at times by his quaint illustrations. He declared that the great need of many congressmen were individual backbones. Many had substituted angles for them. During all of his discussion, the much mooted race question was not discussed, and the indications are that it will not be discussed.

HARDSHIPS AND DANGER Fought Their Way Over Frozen Arctic Desert. EXPEDITION COST ONE LIFE [Copyrighted, 1909, by the New York Times Publishing Company.] "Battle Harbor, Labrador, Sept. 9.—The steamer Roosevelt, bearing the North Pole expedition of the Peary Arctic club, parted company with the Erik and steamed out of Etah Ford late in the afternoon of Aug. 18, 1908, setting the usual course for Cape Sabine. The weather was dirty, with fresh southerly winds. We had on board twenty-two Eskimos men, seventeen women and ten children, 226 dogs and some forty-odd walrus." Peary tells of the difficulty in forging his ship, the Roosevelt, through the choked channels and floe-covered bays before he reached the open polar sea, over which he was to travel to the goal by sledge. Once he was forced back and twice the Roosevelt grounded. Continuing, he says: "Finally, on Sept. 2, we squeezed around Cape Union and made fast in a shallow niche in the ice, but after some hours we made another short run to Black Cape, and hung on to a grounded bit of ice. At last, a little after midnight of Sept. 5, we passed through extremely heavy running ice into a stream of open water, rounded Cape Rawson and passed Cape Sheridan. We steamed up to the end of it, and it appeared practicable at first to reach Porter bay, near Cape Joseph Henley. But the outlook being unsatisfactory, I went back and put the Roosevelt into the only opening in the floe, being barred close to the mouth of the Sheridan river, a little north of our position three years prior. The work of discharging the ship was commenced at once and rushed to completion. The supplies and equip- ```markdown ``` ment we sledged across ice and sea and deposited on shore. A house and workshop were built of board, covered with sails and fitted with stoves, and the ship was swug for the winter in shoal water, where she touched, bottom at low tide. This settlement on the stormy shores of the Arctic ocean was christened Hubbardville. Hunting Parties Sent Out. "Hunting parties were sent out on Sept. 10 and a bear was brought in on the 12th and some deer a day or two later." Peary says many side trips were made for the purpose of exploring the land, and frequent trips with supplies were made to Cape Columbia, from which Peary intended to depart on his long run to the pole. It was Peary's plan to send out advance parties to clear the way and establish stations. Captain Bartlett, of the Roosevelt, was in command of the first party to get away. This was on March 1 of the present year. A short time later a second division made its departure, and an hour after that Peary followed. Continuing, he says: "The party now comprised seven members of the expedition, seventeen Eskimos, 133 dogs and nineteen sledges. One Eskimo and seven dogs had gone to pieces. "A strong easterly wind, drifting snow, and temperature in the minus marked our departure from the camp at Cape Columbia, which I had christened Crane City. Rough ice in the first march damaged several sledges and smashed two beyond repair, the teams going back to Columbia for other sledges in reserve there. "We camped it miles from Crane City. The easterly wind and low temperature continued. In the second march we passed the British record made by Markham in May, 1876—82.20—and were stopped by open water, which had been formed by the wind after Bartlett passed. In this march we negotiated the lead and reached Bartlett's third camp. Borup had gone back from here, but missed his way, owing to the faulting of the trail by the movement of the ice. "Marvin came back also for more fuel and alcohol. The wind continued forming open water all about us. At the end of the fourth march we came upon Bartlett, who had been stopped by a wide lake of open water. We remained here from March 4 to 11. "On the 14th we got free of the leads and came on decent going. While we were making camp a courier from Marvin came and informed me he was on the march in the rear. The temperature was 59 below.

The next march was satisfactory as regards distance and character of going. In the latter part there were pronounced movements in the ice. Some leads were crossed, in one of which Borup and his team took a bath and we were finally stopped by an impracticable lead opening in front of us. At the end of the tenth march, latitude 85.23. Borup turned back in command of the second supporting party." Peary here tells of overtaking Captain Bartlett, and he was again pushed forward with Henderson to do more pioneer work. Peary and Marvtn and Hansen remained behind for twenty hours. The policy now pursued was for Bartlett's crew to break the way and camp. When the Peary force came up the Bartlett camp was occupied by the newcomers, while Bartlett and Henderson made another advance. The condition of the ice was improving right along, and every day good distances were made. At one time Bartlett made twenty miles in a day. Marvin Drowned. Then began the breaking of former records. One observation gave 88.38, and Peary knew that he had beaten Nansen and Abruzzi. Not an accident had marred the expedition up to this point. Things were rapidly shaping themselves for the great dash, and here poor Marvin was turned back. He was to return to Cape Columbia, but he never reached it. He fell into open water and was drowned. More Eskimos were sent with Marvin on the return trip, and Peary then found himself with nine men, seven sledges and sixty dogs. Changes in the atmospheric conditions were noted. A haze enveloped the wonderful fields of glistening ice, and it was impossible to see any distance. Calling Roll. Preacher Dies. Rev.

GOLDEN TEXT—"So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed."—Acts 15:23. Subject: Travels with St. Paul by Sea and Land. There never was so much interest in missions among the people of this country as there is to-day. About two years ago (from the date of this lesson) one of our largest steamships, filled with persons interested in Sunday schools, sailed for Rome to hold a convention there. Three years before (in 1904) another steamship was filled with delegates to a World's Sunday School convention in Jerusalem. Both these great companies stopped at mission stations, learned about the needs of the missions, and took up large contributions for them from the passengers whose interest was greatly awakened, amounting to over $30,000. A friend of mine is sending his son and wife on a two year's tour among the Protestant missions of the world to make a thorough study of them. All the great missionary societies are sending visiting delegates to their mission stations. He had made one journey before we join him. We propose to stop at each city, and recall the events, the persons, the stories and the special teachings which belong to it. The Second Missionary Journey.—From Antioch to Asia Minor. Europe, returning through Jerusalem to Antioch again. Extending from A. D 50 to 53.—Acts 15:36—18:22 Antioch of Syria.—The first foreign missionary church; Paul, Barnabas, Silas, leading members.

What impressions does this general view make upon you as to the progress of the gospel? How long since the day of Pentecost? What impression does it make as to the character of Paul? How does it compare with modern missions? How does giving to missions and interest in missions broaden your character? Does giving to missions and interest in them lessen your interest in God's work right around you? Do you give? Do you earn what you give? FOR A WARM NIGHT SOME APPETIZING AND SATISFY ING DISHES. Vegetable Salad of Pleasing Appearance and Palatable—Peach Pudding or Ribbon Cake for Dessert—Sponge Cake. Vegetable Salad.—Boll several beets (the smallest red ones you can obtain). When cold dig a round hole in the center of each (but not clear through). Place each beet on a lettuce leaf, have ready a small new cabbage, chopped fine, and thoroughly mixed with a good salad dressing; fill each beet with this and also place some around the outside on the lettuce leaves, then slice three cold hard-boiled eggs and strew over the cabbage. Add dressing, and you not only have a salad nice to look at, but very palatable. Peach Pudding—Sift together two cupfuls of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, and one-half teaspoonful of salt. Rub into this two table-spoonfuls of butter. Beat one egg to a cream, add to this three-fourths of a cupful of milk. Mix all together, turn out on a floured board, and roll gently. Roll about a quarter of an inch thick. Lime the sides of an earthen or agate pudding dish with strip of the paste, invert a teacup in the center of the dish, and place one quart of peeled peaches around it. Sprinkle liberally with sugar and put on the top crust. Bake one-half hour in quite a hot oven. When the pudding is cut the cup will be found filled with a most delicious syrup, which you can use for the sauce. Ribbon Cake—One cup of sugar, one-half cup of butter, two eggs, one-half cup of milk, one and one-half cups of flour, one and one-half teaspoons of baking powder and one teaspoon of lemon extract. Mix in the order given, then halve your mixture. Add to one-half the following: One cup of chopped raisins, two tablespoons of molasses, one-half teaspoon each of cinnamon, clove and allspice. Flour the fruit well. Put in greased and floured pan and bake 20 minutes. Draw gently from the oven to the apron and carefully pour the remaining white half over it. Bake until done according to the tests for any cake. Hot Milk Sponge Cake —Beat the yolks of two eggs till lemon colored. Add gradually one cup of sugar, beating all the while, then one-half cup of hot milk, and beat. Next add one cup of flour, sifted three times with one and one-half teaspoons of baking powder, a little at a time. Lastly flavor with one-fourth teaspoon lemon extract. Bake in a moderate oven 30 minutes. It is fine for creme pâtés. Gully Pudding Bread and butter, stewed fruit, a teaspoonful of milk, one heaped teaspoonful of flour, one egg. This pudding is so well known that it hardly needs describing; still, in case there should be any readers who don't know it, and for the benefit of young housekeepers, will give it again. Line a basin with slices of bread and butter, fitted neatly to together, fill with stewed fruit, put a saucer with a weight on it on the top, and leave for some hours or till next day. Make a custard with the egg, milk and flour, stirring smoothly till perfectly cooked. Sweet en and flavor, and leave till cold. Pour round the pudding. A Tomato Entree A delicious entree served at an informal luncheon was a tomato pie. The tomatoes are sliced and quartered, then stewed with plenty of butter, salt, pepper, paprika, a few drops of onion juice, and if the tomatoes are very sour a little sugar. When cooked pour the mixture into a baking dish and cover with a rich puff paste. Bake until a delicate brown and serve very hot. Tomatoes may be served in individual dishes with the paste covers. Care must be taken that the dish is not too shallow. Plum Pudding. Soak one cup of bread crumbs in two cups of boiling milk, add five tablespoons of sugar, one tablespoon of butter and five well-beaten eggs. Add some stewed and mashed plums and beat until light, then put into a buttered pudding mold, set in a pan of boiling water in the oven, cover and bake for one hour. Serve with sweetened cream.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA DRAINS AND CARRIES DISHES Invention of California Man Useful for Homes, Hotels and Restaurants. An article of twofold use in homes, hotels and restaurants is the dish carrier designed by a Californiaian. In addition to being a carrier device, this also makes a good draining rack. The device consists of a frame with rows of inclined slots, somewhat resembling a window blind, and resting at an angle upon supports. It is set on a table near where the dishes are washed, and as they are dried the plates and saucers are placed in the Also Useful as a Drain. openings. Or they can be placed there to drain before they are dried. When the rack is full scores of dishes can be carried with ease and safety to the cupboard at one trip, where otherwise a dozen journeys would be necessary. The effect of a stumble with this "lazy man's load" of china is horrible to contemplate, but the inventor is not expected to take clumsiness into consideration. Ordinarily careful people will find the device a time-saver. TO SAVE LABOR IN KITCHEN Little Things That Will Lighten Work During the Hot Days of Jelly Making. Now that the jelly making season is at hand a few hints that will make less work for the housekeeper will not be amiss. Your jelly bag, of course, is perfectly clean to start with. After picking over and washing the fruit put it right into the bag, put the bag into a large kettle and add whatever amount of water you desire. Boil it this way a little longer than you would without the bag. This way of doing saves one the awkward task of dipping up the hot fruit into the bag and often scalding one's self in so doing. When boiled sufficiently the bag can be lifted out and set in a porcelain collender on top of the kettle to drain and left there till the next day, if necessary. This is all quickly done and one is saved the trouble of hanging the bag up to drain, for there never seems to be any place to hang it out of the way. Before this plan suggested itself to me jelly making was a much harder task, while now I do not dread it all. I would say, however, that I have not tried it for currants or berries, because those fruits do not need much water or boiling, but for green gooseberries, grapes, rhubarb or any of the larger fruits it is an excellent plan. Chocolate Ice Cream Serving chocolate cream with whipped cream is especially desirable for summer, as the whipped cream lightens the chocolate flavor. Melt an ounce in a quarter of a cup of hot water in which the same amount of sugar has been dissolved. Stir this over the fire until it is smooth, and add it, with a cupful of sugar and a good pinch of salt, to a quart of thin cream which has been scalded with a two-inch piece of cinnamon bark. Strain this mixture, let it cool, add a tablespoonful of vanilla extract and freeze. Pack the cream in a lemon mold and let it stand for several hours. Turn it on a large plate and surround it with fluffy whipped cream, decorated with thin slices of candied fruit. Tomatoes Stuffed with Sardines. Select large, ripe tomatoes of uniform size and pare them carefully with a sharp knife. Set on the ice to barden and cut out the hearts neatly, leaving the walls whole. Prepare the filling by skinning boneless sardines and laying them upon tissue paper to absorb the oil. Then scrape as you would pick codfish for "balls" and work in a little lemon juice and a dash of white pepper. Toss and work with a silver fork until smooth and fill the cavities left in the tomatoes with the mixture. The combination of flavors is very pleasant. Canning Corn. Get good corn, not too ripe, cut it from the cob and scrape out the milk. Fill the jars with corn and fasten the lids on lightly. Place a wooden rack or straw in the bottom of the wash boiler to almost the tops of the jars and boil for two hours. Remove the lids and quickly fasten them again, then boil two hours more. If tin cans are used the lids must be punctured. The boiler must be well covered while the corn boils, for steam cooks more quickly than hot water. It is advisable to can a little at a time. To Make Skirt Hang Evenly An accurate and easy way to even off a skirt which is to be hemmed instead of faced. Before putting on the belt lay the skirt on the floor doubled at the front fold and measure the required length from waist down all around and pin together every little ways, then turn back the extra length to the pins and haste. Care of Skim Milk. Aim to give as much attention to the care of the skim milk as to the cream or butter. If butter is made at home the same care should be given to the buttermilk. The skim milk and buttermilk may not be directly sold for money, yet when judiciously fed to pigs, poultry and calves they may represent nearly one-half the dairy profits. 315-317 N. 18th St. Richmond, Va.

Many people living in a small town or in the suburbs of a city own one cow that supplies the family table with milk and cream, says a writer in Popular Science. Sometimes the cream will accumulate, but not in sufficient quantities to be made into butter in a large churn. A fruit jar usually takes the place of a churn and the work is A machine for the manufacture of yarn. Making Butter exceedingly hard, the jar being shaken so the cream will beat against the ends in the process of butter-making. The accompanying sketch shows clearly how one boy rigged up a device having a driving wheel which is turned with a crank, and a driven wheel attached to an axle having a crank on the inner end. This crank is connected to a swinging cradle with a wire pitman of such size as to slightly bend or spring at each end of the stroke. The cradle is made with a cleat fastened to each end, between which is placed the fruit jar, partially filled with cream. The jar is wedged in between the cleats and the churning effected by turning the crank. BUTTER MOLD FALLS APART Sides, Held Together by Clamp, Can Be Taken Away Without Disturbing the Print. Of especial interest to dairymen and farmers is the butter mold designed by a Colorado man, but it is also of interest to those whose acquaintance with butter is limited to meeting it on Knights of Pythias, This organization is one of the most powerful in the country and its progress has been phenomenal. The Grand Lodge of Virginia has jurisdiction over all of the cities and counties in this state. Thirty males are required to organize a new lodge.

The mold consists of a base portion with handle attached and raised portion to form the bottom of the mold box. The sides are made in two parts, arranged to interlock, and held in position when they are interlocked by a clamping member that swings over and holds them firmly together. In the old style butter mold it was necessary to push the print out, the sides being solid. In this form all that is required is to open the clamping device, take the sides off and the butter appears in perfect condition.

The insect winters as a tiny larva or caterpillar within a Web or nest made of silk and leaves ‘Woven together tightly. The ‘nests will vary in size usually from three to four inches in length and will con tain 200 or more caterpillars. These nests are securely attached to the tips of trees or plants on which the caterpillars were working before hibernation. In early spring, as soon as the buds of fruit and shade trees appear, ac cording to Howard, these one-fourth grown caterpillars emerge from thelr winter quarters and immediately com: mence feeding upon the buds and Diossoms and later the foliage. The Young caterpillar is of a blackish color and coyered with very small hairs. The full-grown Jarva te about two Inches long, reddish brown In color, with a broken white stripe on each side and two red dots in the back near the hind end. The body te covered with numerous tubercies bearing long barbed hairs. The tuber. cles along the back and sides of the abdomen are thickly covered with ‘The brown-tall moth; female moth above male moth below, larva or cater. pillar at right, slightly enlarged. short brown hairs in addition to the long ones. The full-grown larva changes to a Pupa within a cocoon which {t pre- Yiously makes with sik and leaves, These cocoons may be ih groups oF Singly in some secluded spots or at the Ups of branches of trees on which they have fed. The cocoon 1s #0 loosely made that the pupa may be seen through it, The moths of both sexes are pure white with the exception of the abdo- men, which is dark brown, The tp of the abdomen of both sexes, more Pronounced in the female, bears a ‘small tuft of brown hairs, from which the insect gets its name. The female moth has an expanse of about one and onebalf inches while the male is somewhat smaller. The moths are strong fiers and are readily attracted to lights. In addition to the severe injury that this pest will do to fruit, shade and forest trees, and the consequent cost of fighting {t, there is another feature connected with Its presence that ts Very troublesome. {f not alarming, that fs, danger to the health of people. The larva or caterpillar bears tiny hairs which are barbed and when the insect molts these hairs are shed with the skin. Upon drying. these sking and hairs foat about in the air and are a source of constant trouble to persons living in an infested dis- trict. When the caterpillars’ skins, or even loose hairs, come fn contact with the skin they cause a severe {rrita- tion. A large. part of the popular feeling in New England that the brown-tail moth must be exterininated ts due quite as much to the preva lence and annoyance of this rash as to the loss of vegetation from the ‘work of the caterpillar, Whb this pest undoubtediy the easiest and practically the only effec: tive means of artificial control where established is by cutting off the over- wintering nests during the lat~ fall, winter or early spring and destroying the tiny larvae within. This, of course, can be supplemented by spraying with ‘an arsenica: mixture, when the larvae appear on the follage in spring. ORCHARD NOTES. Keep the tree, like the animal, that Proves itself.

This false bottom should be nearly the same size ax the pan. On large pans, of course, the bottom should be braced with strips of iron, to prevent warping from the heat. In service the suet melts, and runs down through the perforations to the bottom of the pan. No matter how hot the fire, the suet will not catch fire, as it is protected from the flames by the perforated bottom which acts ike the screen of a miner's lamp. The bottom can easily be removed and cleaned and the suet in the pan be emptied out—J. A.

A woman famous for her cooking Said to a friend recently: “We owe it to a Scotchman that our bought Sara. toga chips taste home made. He told me that his mother put hers in a corn popper and shook them over a clear fire until hot to prevent them from getting sogey or burnt as when re heated ip the oven. The potatoes are slightly salted before serving. “One of my hostesses serves with boiled eggs what she calis ‘sippets, These are pieces of day old bread cut into strips three and a half inches Yong, a half inch wide, and a half inch thick, and friend lke croutons in hot butter. “The sippets are piled log cabin wise in a hollow square on a doily covered plate, are passed with the eggs, and are a much nicer accom: paniment than bread or plain toast. “The same hostess, serves poached Res deliciously. Instead of put ting each one or a piece of toast that is usually either hard or soggy, she cuts a circle of bregt a little larger than the egg when poached. This she also fries Uke a couton, and in addi tion pours hot melted buter, seasoned with chopped parstey and paprica, over ee egg When served.” ‘@ikaksaa Meoten Use about five pounds tart apples. five pounds of light brown sugar, two lemons sliced thin and about six ounces of preserved ginger cut in thin siices. Pare, core and cut the apples into pleces about %-inch. First, put the sugar in an enamel kettle with one cup cold water and let melt and skim it after boiling up, till it is clear; then put in the apples, one- half teaspoon salt, lemons and ginger, and boll till the apples look clear and yellow and rich.

Previous investigation showed that Simons bad killed his mother a week ‘ago and left her body in an attic, rst stopping up the cracks in the door and then screwing the door shut with five screws and marking it “paint” so no- body would touch it. To add to the horror of the crime. Simons had covered the body of his mother with quick lime, hoping to de- Stroy the evidence of his ghastly deed. ‘Mrs. Simons disappeared last week. Young Simons told his father that his mother had gone to visit friends at Mahanoy City. Hearing nothing of the mother, the father then went to Mahanoy City and found she had not been there. He then cane back and asked Chief of Police Davies to investigate. The Simons house on North (jeorge street was searched. The door, sealed with paraffine, attracted the attention of Chief Davies and it was broken open. Mrs. Simons, who wae fifty-eight years old, was found lying in the mid- dle of the room. The body was so badly decomposed that It was difficult to tell just in what manner she was killed. “I had no idea whatever of what was to occur,” declared Chief Davies, “when we drove up and asked for young Simons at the home of his eweetheart. But as goon as he heard our voices, Simons, who was seated in an adjoining room, got up, excused himself to thase present, and, going to the door, shot himself:to death.” The motive for the murder Is _be- Heved to be the gaining of a trifting sum with which, It is believed, Simons expected to get married. He was a civil engineer. ‘The murderer was an only son. Train Hits Auto; Three Dead. A fiveday automobile trip ended most sorrowifully, when the machine occupied by William L. raul ad wife of Temple, and Dr. and Mrs. Samuel E.

People rushed to the seene of the accident, They found Mr. Graul and his wife and Mrs. Schlegel dead, Dr Schlegel ny near by. unable to move, having both legs territly mangled The dell at the crossing, it is sald was ringing as the antomobile ap proached, but the occupants apparent ly did not hear it. The automobile was hurled to the side of the track, ahd almost simultan- eously with the collision the gasoline tank exploded and the entire wreck age was 8 mass of flames. The clothing of the viettms caught fire, and had the bodies not .been re ‘moved promptly they would have been badly burned.

Instead of being frightened, the sharks attacked the boat, and one big fellow became entancléd in the nets. Hoping to save it from being torn in shreds, the two men hauled the net in, and the shark fell over the rail into the boat. It grabbed Beach by the leg, but he quickly drew a knife and cut the monster's throat. Beach happened to have on two pairs of heavy trousers, and the shark's teeth produced only a slight abrasion‘ of the skin. The big fellow was towed on shore. where he was found to measure over five feet In length and weighed over one hundred pounds. - Pitcher Struck Out Three: Fel! Dead.

Vatican Bubidinas Gameeee, Pottsville Suicide Lett Letter - Confessing Dastardly Crime. | att INTENDED TO KILL FATHER ss to End His Own Life After Palting tn -Reaind: Mordor = Had Robbed His Parents Bince He Was | Pottsville, Pa. Sept. 8—A lengthy confession by George Simon in bis own handwriting, written enroute to tempt to kill his tather, has come to Ught, clearing up the crime of the murder of his mother, Mrs. Phoebe Simon, and the subsequent suicide of himeelt. Young Stmon says that he killed his mother by shooting her through the head tn order to conceal the fact that he had been systematicaNy robbing her and his father since he was ten Years old, until they, unknown to them Selvea. had not a cent in the world. He further confesses that he intended to kill his father with a hatchet while he slept and then saturate the bed and the building with oil and conceal his crime by setting the house on fire He entered his father’s room several nights after the killing of his mother. but the parent was awakened and or dered the youth from his room. He says that when this attempt failed he determines to leave his father up harmed and to instead take his own life. He went to Birdsboro to see his Sweetheart, Miss Viola Hartranft, of Pottsville, who was visiting there, to Did her farewell before shooting him self, His nerve evidently failed him and he returned to Potteville with the girl. His confession goes no farther than up to the time he left the train at Birdeboro, The message from the dead is a pathetic one, pleading for forgiveness and expressing the opinion that “when my darling learns of this it will kill her.” Part of the letter, which covers twelve foolscap pages, is addressed 1 his father. He says that his downfall commenced when he was ten years of ‘Age and commenced to steal pennies and then nickels and dimes from hie mother’s purse. This led to bigger thefts until finally, at the age of thir teen, he forged his father’s name to a check and drew a large sum of money. ‘This was continued until the father's bank account was exhausted. After that the money given to him to deposit was kept by himself instead of being taken to the bank. | He kept money given to him by his father to put in a saving fund and also that of a friend of bis father's. which he was supposed to deposit monthly for him, When every cent the parents owned had been squandered he decited to hide the robbery from them by taking their lives and making their home theik funeral pyre. | “After the killing of my sainted mother I repented and tried to conse- crate my soul to God, and it was then that I determined to spare my father's life and take my own.” 1c wes upen police ofcers found im wt the of his swetheart, after the finding of the decomposed body of his mother in a apere room, the door of which had been screwed sbut after the body = been covered with quick- ime that Simon shot Rimself.
