Richmond Planet

The RICHMOND PLANET Dr. Booker T. Washington's "Chickens." (Cleveland, Ohio Gazette.) Last Saturday Dr. Booker T. Washington was refused accommodation in the leading hotel of Akron, the "Butchell," and one of his Ohio "chickens came home to roost." For years the well known apostle of industrial education has been coming to this state and in his lectures and speeches, telling derisive and very harmful "nigger" stories (in the face of our repeated protests) and advising both our people and all others that "Negroes" should not "go into public places where they are not wanted," until now many whites have accepted his advice and are acting on it with the result that not only has the Y. M. C. A. of this city closed its doors to Afro-Americans ("on Booker T. Washington's advice, as a leading trustee of the association told the Rev. Dr. Charles Bundy and the editor of The Gazette several years ago), but also hundreds of Ohio hotels, dining-rooms and other places or entertainment, amusement, etc. At Akron, last Saturday, Dr. Washington was but a single victim of his own folly. If he is the "national" leader many white people and some misguided trucking "Negroes" would have him, Dr. Washington will resent the Akron insult to his manhood, citizenship and the race, by entering against the Butchell hotel proprietor, under our Ohio civil rights law, and punish him for the good it will do members of the race in Ohio and the entire country. This much he owes not only to himself and it, but particularly to the boys and girls he and thousands of others in this country, are trying to rear properly. His perilous "doctrine or surrogder" will not do and his Akron experience is an illustration and exemplification, that ought to make even him and his "dough-faced" and truckling friends, black and white awaken to a full realization of the fact. Our franchise, civil and all other rights in this country are fast slipping away from us and none are being regained because of a criminal failure to fight for those lost and to retain those we still enjoy at least in part that never characterized any other quasl-intelligent people in the history of the world. It is such culpable, weakening and disgusting "leadership" as Booker T. Washington and his friends, white and black, have sought so actively in recent years to saddle on our people, that has resulted in a racial retrogression along a civil and franchise rights' line as will all but stagger any intelligent, honest and honorable man of any race who will take the trouble to familiarize himself with the facts. It is indeed a sad, very sad condition of affairs, one that is positively inexcusable, too, if our people possess one-half the intelligence we boast of.) Notwithstanding the fact that we have this "national leader," five or six "national" organizations, thousands upon thousands of university and college teachers, graduates and wealthy men and women, one cannot point to a single case in the United States supreme court to test the constitutionality of one of the eight or nine southern state disfranchisement laws, or to test the constitutionality of southern state "Jim Crow" car laws, even so far as they effect Inter-state passengers; or any effort whatever in northern states to regain civil rights in public places lost because we will not in most instances use laws like our Ohio civil rights' law, and others, passed particularly for our benefit. If we are a race of "Washingtons," or a "race of mongrels," as Bishop Henry M. Turner of the great A. M. E. church is alleged to have termed us, there seems to be no better way of proving it than for Booker Washington to refuse to sue that Akron hotel proprietor, and for the rest of the race to go on sleeping the sleep of criminal neglect of their most vital rights and interests until the day soon arrives when Afro-Americans will be reduced to the plane of the Russian serf and the American slave of years ago, one practically devoid of all citizen and manhood rights. "For God's sake," for your own and your family's sake as well as for the race's sake, Booker T. Washington and "Negroes" of America, WAKE UP! and act like intelligent MEN and WOMEN so unfortunately placed and situated, ought to. There are not many more years left in which to do this, either.

When the chancery cause of Avery et als vs. Tartte et als, involving the Harrison Street (colored) Baptist k Building now be nd Clay Streets, K Church controversy, pending in the Hustings Court, was called this morning on its second day's hearing, Judge J. M. Mullen announced that, after maturely considering the matter, he had concluded that it would not be proper for him to sit in the case. A similar case had been pending before in the past two years, during which he had been consulted by both sides to the controversy, and had advised both sides as to the proper adjustment of their differences, which advice neither side had followed. The judge stated that he would ask the Governor to designate another judge to try the case in the near future. It was thereupon continued. Counsel for the plaintiffs express the hope that the case will be brought to trial before the judge to be designated by Governor Swanson some time in October. It is reported that an It is reported that an effort will be made to get Judge West, of the adjacent circuit, to try the case. Badly Burned.

Before doing this, he wrote a letter to his sister and tacked a car on the door of his room which read, "Dead, come in. Charles Senf." He was found lying with his head at the foot, of the bed, the right foot shoved under the pillow, the left leg bent upwards, with the bloody oyste beneath his head. A bullet hole was in his temple. In his right hand was clasped a revolver, but the finger had fallen from the trigger and the barrel had caught under his suspenders. Mrs. V. A. Smith is visiting relatives in Washington, D.C.

A., A. and A., returned home jubilant over the repeal of the Pythian temple tax. This tax was abolished by practically a two-thirds vote. This was the result of six years' agitation by Grand Chancellor Mitchell and the Supreme Representatives from this State. No blow could have been more severe to the administration's forces, as this was the issue upon which the fight for supremacy was based in the Supreme Lodge.—Planet. Right you are, Sir Mitchell. With this tax abolished the State Grand Lodges will be able to look up. The idea of a man in the order taxed twenty cents per annum for himself and ten cents for each member of his family was a load too heavy. Yes, the fight only needed a bold and fearless leader, who continued to increase his forces as the burden became heavier. And alas! the same fate awaits other pet schemes.

(To Be Continued.) FOR THE HOUSEWIFE For Burning Feet. If one's feet burn and are dry they should after the evening bath be rubbed thoroughly dry and good cold cream with plenty of lanoline should be rubbed in. Several minutes should be spent on each foot and the superfluous cream removed with a bit of cold cotton or with cheesecloth. The latter, which is easily washed, should always be kept on hand when cold cream is used. After the cream is thoroughly rubbed in and the surplus removed the feet may be bathed with witch hazel or with cold water containing a little alcohol. This will stimulate the skin, and the cream already absorbed will prevent its drying the skin. Witch hazel is always good for the feet. If the feet perspire witch hazel or alcohol much diluted or a weak solution of alum water may be used to bathe them twice daily and oftener if convenient. Pumpkin Marmalade Four pounds of pumpkin, three oranges, three lemons and four and one-half pounds of granulated sugar will make twelve jelly glasses of delicious marmalade. Use the small pie pumpkins. Pare, slice and cut in cubes. Sprinkle sugar over dry, mix, let stand overnight. It will make a sip. Add the juice of the oranges and lemons, but bolt the rinds of the two last mentioned fruits until tender. Chop fine and add to the pumpkin. Simmer slowly for two hours. Do not let it get mushy. Use pancake turner to stir fruit, which you wish to preserve as whole as possible. Jellied Veal. Boll three pounds of stewing veal until tender, seasoning with salt and pepper while cooking. Have a pint of Iliquor left when done, remove the bones and chop meat fine. Have ready three hard boiled eggs, sliced thin. Butter the mold, lay sprigs of parsley over the bottom, then a layer of eggs, then add the meat, pour the Iliquor over all, cover with a plate and set in a cool place. This should stand overnight. Before serving turn on a plate with the ornamental side up. Elderberry Wine To three quarts of berries add three quarts of water. Mash the berries and boil one hour, then add three pounds of sugar and boil a half hour longer. Put a little cinnamon, cloves, ginger and mace in a little bag and boil in the wine during this half hour. When nearly cold put in a cup of hop yeast. Let it stand till done working, which will be about two weeks, then strain again and bottle for use.

The mat is made of metal, with two side bars and a surface of pivotally connected slats, folding like gates. Attached to opposite ends of the side bars are cross-bars, by means of which the mat may be held in position when in use. Care of Polished Tables After each meal, when the bare table is used, wring a soft cloth out of very cold water and go over the table top quickly (that the varnish may not be injured) to remove spots made during the meal, and then rub thoroughly dry with a soft cheesecloth to polish. About once in three months a little good polish may be used, thus getting good results with little trouble. Completed His Course "Well, old man, you gave John a good education." "You're right, I did.

Charley, however, the younger boy, who has made an extensive reputation for himself as a "cut up," plays golf mainly because his father and elder brothers are lovers of the game. Charley is said to prefer baseball, football and ether sports more active than golf, but he has also got much enjoyment this summer out of boat sailing.

Life In Danger if He Doesn't Leave Jericho—Refuses Trip In Flying Machine Named In His Honor—Six of His Hens Poisoned. By M. QUAD. [Copyright, 1903, by Associated Literary Press.] MY Dear William—Things have occurred here in Jericho during the past week that I feel I ought to write you about. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, and we have got to have vigilance by the cartload to beat the machinations of the insidious enemy. Last Monday afternoon, as I was drawing a gallon of kerosene in my grocery for old Mrs. Racksabout, whose sorrowful history I will write you out at length on some other occasion, a stranger entered the place and the following conversation occurred: "Do I address the Hon. Pap Pinkham?" "You do." "The father of Jericho, if not of his country?" "The same." "Formerly postmaster of this town but bounced out by Roosevelt because he looked like another Pinkham?" "That is mostly the case." "Well, Mr. Pinkham, my business here is to buy your grocery and house and lot, in case they are for sale, and A man in a top hat and a man in a vest are standing in front of a fence. The man in the vest is speaking to the man in the hat. A SALARY OF $20,000 A YEAR permit you to go west and grow up with the country. Such men as you are wanted west of the Mississippi. It is there you will be fully appreciated. Please name the price for your real estate and business." William, your old pap has got some thing besides bran in his noodle. The man had not done speaking when was on to the game. It was a move on the part of our political enemies to separate us—to get me out of Jericho and then turn her over body and soul to those who want to down us. With me way off west they would jump on to you like a rooster on a tater bug. I did not do personal violence to the man. I simply took him by the ear and led him to the door and jumped him over a barrel of salt and told him to beat it. Offered $10,000 Job On Tuesday, as I was gathering a lot of garden sass to send you, that you might keep your family expenses down and know what you were eating at the same time, a stranger called me to the fence and after talking about buckwheat, spring lambs and other things for a few minutes he wanted to know if I would go to Mexico and superintend a big silver mine for him at a salary of $10,000 a year. He said he had heard of my honesty and general integrity and must have me at any price. I hung off until he offered me a salary of $20,000 a year, and then I closed with him. That is I grabbed him to pull him over the fence, and in his struggles to get away he left most of his coat in my hands. Do you twig. William? Wanted me off in Mexico in a hole in the ground, where you might call on me in vain and Jericho breaking out in open rebellion before I had been gone two days! I've got a sneaking idea that Senator Tillman put the job up, but don't know for certain. Don't give him a hint that you suspect anything but keep your eye on him. On Wednesday Silas Goodheart of this town, who is the champion trouble raiser, came to me and said: "Pap, there's been hard feelings between us, and I don't want it that way any longer. Let's make up and be friends." "But you are down on the president," says I. "Yes, I thought he ought to have given me an office for the way I yelled for him, but let that go. Mebbe he'll fix things right blimey. Let's you'n me go fishing this afternoon to show folks here in town that we've made up." I said I'd go, and I went home to dig some bait. When I told Mrs. Pinkham what was up she threw up her hands and called out: "Pap, if you go you will never come back alive! It's a plot of the enemy. They can't hire you to leave Jericho, and they are going to assassinate you! Deprived of your support, what's the president going to do?" William, Mrs. Pinkham cannot only tell you what alls you over the long distance telephone, but she reads the future when the moon is full. It was full last week. I listened to her and then put up a job on Silas. I went fishing with him, but when he was about to elbow me off the bank into a deep hole I turned on him. When I had made him holler for mercy I took from his person a slushpot, a black-jack, a knife and a pistol. He had meant to make sure of your pap. I Great Suit Offer Great Suit Offer "The president and Old Pap have got to be separated at any cost of blood and treasure or all our schemes must fail. Find out if Old Pap can swim. If he can't your way is clear. They will think he was pulled into the river by a sucker. If your plan succeeds telephone me in these words: 'His mutilon is cooked.'" Suspects Political Plot. In the mail on Thursday morning I received a letter signed "Black Hand." It notified me that if I did not leave Jericho within one week I was doomed. The letter was postmarked Baltimore, but was doubtless written in Washington. Have you any specimens of the handwriting of Senator Bailey or Dolliver or that Michigan feller? The Black Hand orders your Old Pap to pull his freight within seven days. Does he pull? Not if he is a bounced out postmaster, and they say he is! William, you can see to what straits the enemy is driven. Wouldn't it be a wise move on your part to get a shirt of mail and wear it night and day? Don't let them make you believe that the dollar shirt is just as good. It looks to me as if the time would soon be here when both of us will have to carry a gun. Wouldn't it be well for us to begin to practice on the draw? On Friday afternoon I was stopped on the street by a stranger who wanted to know if I would make a trip in a flying machine he had invented and named "The Pinkham" in my honor. In other words, I was to be taken up about three miles high and dumped out to strike the earth a dead ruler. I simply winked at the man and passed on. He saw that I twigged and bothered me no more. William, don't let no one canole you into getting your feet off the solid earth. They are after us for sure. Saturday wound up a week of excitement by finding that some one had poisoned six of my hens. More of the insidious enemy. He fails to bribe, bluff or scare me, and he wreaks vengeance on innocent hearted hens. The idea, William, is to strike us a fell blow and get the country to saying that our policies are all wrong and that Teddy must return four years hence. It's all as clear to me as a gallon of N. O. molasses. We have got to beat the game, and we have got to keep our eyes open to do it. I am holding Jericho between my thumb and finger, and I don't care a durn how much she wriggles. You hold Washington the same way. Mrs. Pinkham says keep on with the root beer I sent you. It may bring out a rash, but you will feel better for it. If the sugar trust solicits my good offices to get a letup it will be in vain. I am not to be sugared. OLD PAP PINKHAM. One Time Postmaster. Hot Weather Decision Just So.

SATURDAY . . . OCTOBER 2, 1909. THE NEW NEGRO It is becoming evident that the thinking progressive, law-abiding citizens of color are to be attacked by the less fortunate lower element of white men who envy them. On the other hand they are being cordially supported by the progressive justice loving white men who despise indolence in the Negro and who hate its manifestation in the white man. The following telegraphic dispatch explains itself: Dublin, Ga., September 14.—(Special.)—Two negroes, Ringgold Perry and Alec Minton, were ambushed while on their way home from Dublin, and Minton was instantly killed and Perry shot through the right groin. The assassination occurred about three miles east of Dublin, at a place where the swamp is very thick. The negroes were riding in a buggy, and Perry drove at a gallop until he reached the place of Knox Linder and notified him of the affair. Mr. Linder telephoned to Dublin, and Officers Mose Rowland and W. L. Renfroe went over with the county dogs to try to locate the murderer. The dogs took up the trail immediately, and it is said that the officers feel assured of the guilt of one or two young white men. No arrests have been made yet. The negro Perry is a prosperous farmer living in the Buckeye district, and nobody seems to know of any reason why his life should have been sought. The proper thing to do is to be armed as well as forearmed. It will not do to take any chances. Every colored man who means well and who is determined to uphold the law should have in his possession the means with which to do it. The price of shot-guns is very reasonable while Winchester rifles are within the reach of every industrious citizen of color. Couple with each one of them owned the nerve to use them in a deadly encounter, and brace up to the point of not fearing death and this part of the southern question will be solved so far as the colored people of that section is concerned. A PECULIAR ORGANIZATION Some colored people do not seem to know what to do or what to be about. They imitate some white folks in embracing every "wild cat" scheme that "comes down the pike." The latest is told in the following telegraphic report which explains itself: Rome, Ga., September 18. (Special.)—Rome will be the national headquarters of an order that has for its object the deportation and colonization of the American negro, in territory outside of the United States. The name of the society is the Order of True Americans. Its national president is Rev. J. R. Lamb, pastor of the First Baptist church, at Aragon, Ga. The first lodge of the order was founded in Aragon a few weeks ago, and other lodges will be formed as rapidly as organizers can do the work. The south will be organized first, but the order will be national in scope, and the national president states that he has received commendatory letters from many northern people. He further states that many negro leaders do not oppose, but favor the plan. Now if the gentlemen, who heads the movement will explain to us as to what service in Africa or any where else would be the Negroes who would agree to go, we would be greatly enlightened. But Rev. J. R. Lamb is evidently no fool, although that some of his own people may think that he is. Here is another extract from the same dispatch: The Order or True Americans will labor for the repeal of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution, and the disfranchisement of all negroes in America, the colonization of the race, as an independent republic, on territory outside America. This is presumed to be a safety valve, so so speak for the purpose of permitting these deluded colored people to continue their crusade in peace and financial happiness, for there are many gullible white folks who will gladly separate themselves from a dollar or so in order to aid in the settlement of what is one of the most embarrassing problems. If these people are going to Africa, why should they wish to take away from those who remain all of the rights and privileges of an American citizen. The idea seems to be conceived in selfishness and born in stupidity. Then follows the usual words of adulation and "flourish of trumpets. Here they are: Rev. Mr. Lamb has devoted a lifetime of study to the race problem. His belief is that race amalgamation and social equality are impossible; that race enmity is increasing; that the political and labor questions are annually growing more serious, and that the only way to solve these questions and stop attacks on white women is to remove the negro from the United States. Yes, he believes that the proper way to settle difficulties and solve problems is to run away from them. We have not been able to see it in this light, and we are of the opinion that the sooner the colored man stops whining and complaining and stands upon his feet enduring the disagreeable accompaniments of our American citizenship and proving our selves able and worthy to receive all of the rights and privileges of any other citizen, the better it will be for all concerned. Other races are rushing into the United States. Let those of us who so desire rush out or it. A man at best has but a short time to live and if the white folks can stand oppressing us fifty years longer we are ready to brace ourselves to endure one hundred and fifty years more of the same kind of suffering. Let the bands play! --- SECRETARY DICKINSONS DECLARATIONS In view of the peculiar attitude of President Taft in dealing with the colored people of the Southland as well as his undisguised hostility to everything that bears a semblance to the white Republican organization of the old school, the utterances of Secretary of War Dickinson at the state fair at Nashville, Tennessee, September 23, 1909, will have special significance. He is quoted as follows: "President Taft," said Mr. Dickinson, "has gone further than any republican president to meet the wishes or the south in establishing a policy looking to the promotion of peace within her borders. In this he has not responded to any demand either of his party or the people of the north. A leader of thought, knowing the conditions he patriotically and courageously does what he believed is best, trusting to results for his vindication. The great hold he has upon the confidence of the country at least holds judgment in abeyance, if it does not at once gain entire approval. His vindication will depend mainly upon the wisdom, self-control and conservatism manifested by the southern people. It would be a calamity if his efforts should be nullified and his good will alienated. If a man of his character, position, and patriotism fail, then it will be long before another will follow in his footsteps. This is a warning. Will the South heed it? He adds: No question of the south giving him political support is involved. The south can co-operate with him in his great work of conciliation and promoting peace and harmony, and yet cast every one of its electoral votes against him if he should THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, WIRGINIA become a candidate for re-election. I am confident that no thought of winning its votes has influenced his course toward the south, and that even if he expected to become a candidate to succeed himself he would, though confident that the south would vote against him, do exactly what he has done, deeming it sufficient reward if he brings peace where discord prevailed, and establishes a sounder basis for dealing politically with the conditions that affect the relations between the races in the south." Here then Secretary Dickinson admits that it is the race question to which he refers and not to economic questions. Although he is a politician, a statesman, the creature of a partisan political party, he would have the people of the South believe and the nations of the world credit the declaration that he would give plums to his political enemies and thorns to his political party friends. This attitude must necessarily amaze all men who accept the declarations of this distinguished Democrat in a Republican cabinet as true. He must necessarily believe all that he says himself for he is credited with having made the statement that he voted against Hon. William H. Taft and yet has been honored with one of the highest offices in the gift of the present administration. It reminds us of the doggerel in H. M. S. Pinafore; "Stick close to your desk and never go to sea, And you'll be the ruler of the Queen's na-vee." It may well be changed to read like this: "Stick close to your home, and never vote for me And you'll be the ruler or Taft's ar-mee." Secretary of War Dickinson could not refrain from giving further expression to the feeling of his office-seeking heart. He said: But it should not be forgotten, he said, that while he was sympathetic with the south and the unfortunate conditions peculiar 'to it, he was a republican and a northern man. For that reason, it should not be expected that he would accept in its entirety the southern view. He had appreciated the extent or the irritation that had come from appointing negroes to office in the south. "He understands," "that this is a broad, deep-seated race question that cannot be ignored or argued out of existence, and that for the peace of both races it is the part of wisdom that such appointments should not be made, and he has publicly declared this to be his policy and has carried it out. He holds with his distinguished predecessor, who declared in his famous speech made in New York before the Loyal Legion, that 'the purity of the races must be maintained.' While he Is thus mitigating the difficulties of our situation, we should do our part to sustain him and make this burden of his office as easy to bear as the exigencies of the conditions will admit. Here then is the official declaration by a member of the official family of the President of the United States. Is there a man, woman, or child who can fail to understand this language? President Taft is not paying any attention to the Constitution of the United States and the Revised Statutes in dealing with this question. He is doing what he and his southern advisers regard to be for the best interest of the white people of the Southland. The best interest of the colored people must necessarily be a secondary consideration for "The purity of the races must be maintained," although there is very little being done to check the illegitimate amalgamation now everywhere in evidence all over the Southland. Secretary of War Dickinson continued: "If the white people assert the right to govern, then the government should be one or fairness and justice, a government of law and not of passion. The courts, and not mobs, should punish lawbreakers. Negroes should be protected in their property rights, settled with justly, and governed by the constituted authorities. Those who establish the commonwealth of Tennessee, such men as James Robertson, John Sevier and Andrew Jackson, would have spurned with indignation the very suggestion that in time of peace they did not have the virtue and manhood enough to enforce the law through the courts. The cankering virus of mob rule, no matter against what evils directed, destroys all wholesome life in the body politic, and makes it a polluted wreck, swayed by passion and incapable of the ordinary administration of law. The above sounds "mighty good" but it is fatally defective in making no provisions for the securing to a large body of the American electorate their civil and political rights. To be secure in one's property rights one should have the privilege of exercising his political rights. Hon. William J. Brvan will use and has used language in our favor just as strong and as emphatic as that used by Secretary of War Dickinson. Hon. Grover Cleveland did the same thing. Gov. Claude A. Swanson, an accredited Negro-hater has done the same thing and we could name a number of Democratic white men or prominence who have given voice to these modified sentiments. What inducement then have we to choose President Taft as against any of the rest of them? We confess that we are much disappointed and it seems to us that we must look to the records of the men as much so as to the records of the parties in casting our votes in the many campaigns which are now before us. Good bye, Secretary of War Dickinson! COMMANDER PEARY AND THE NEGRO. A correspondent in describing Commander Robert E. Peary and his party says: The only light came through the square window at the end. There before the window Peary sat. He beckoned Captain Dickson to a seat on the nets beside him. At his feet was Dr. Greve of the Grenfels mission. His wilde hide booted legs stretched out across the boards. Back on the tops of salt barrels in the dusty corners of the drooping roof sat Matt Henson, the colored companion of Peary who had stood with him in latitude 90: Professor Donald McMillin of Worcester, Mass., in sweater and fur cap, and George Borup, the young Yale man, whose identity was almost concealed by the fisherman's boots and heavy storm sweater he wore. Captain Bob Bartlett, the skipper who had jammed the Roosevelt through the ice channels to the very top of the continent, shyly took a seat in the shadow by the commander's throne of selves. The correspondents squatted in a semi-circle on bare boards like pupils before the master. There was an instant silence, no one ventured to open the quizzing of this voluntary court of inquiry. This because the spirit in that store loft of Battle Harbor was not the spirit that dominated that other group of newspaper men who held inquisition over Dr. Cook in a hotel room at Copenhagen. Commander Peary dominated because there was no doubt of his word. He was not on trial. He himself began the session. It will be noticed that Matt Henson was at the top and that he was regarded by Commander Peary as one of the most valuable men in his expedition, which made the record-breaking dash to the North Pole. --- "HOWLS IN ISRAEL." It may be gratifying to some of our disgusted Republican friends in this city and state to know that "there are others," if the reports now coming in are to be accredited. Here is the dispatch: Durham, N. C., September 14. President Taft's appointment of Professor Glasson, of the chair or economics at Trinity college, as census supervisor in the fifth district, has aroused a bitter protest from the republican organization. This district was represented in the last congress by a democrat, the present Governor Kitchen. At the last election John Motley Moorehead a republican was chosen to succeed him. Naturally, the republicans expected the president to hand theensus plum to an organization me Professor Glasson, who got the place, is said to be a republican, but Secretary Branham, of the republican county executive committee, voiced the sentiment of the organization, it is said, in the following statement issued tonight: "We were voting the republican ticket when it was considered a disgrace to do so. Yet a Massachusetts 'mugwimp' gets the plum which worthy men worked hard for. Two doses were handed the republicans of this section recently. One, the appointment of Judge Connor, democrat, to a republican position, disgusted me completely with the so-called organization and the powers that be. The party and its principles are right, but its leaders are simply hell." Judge Connor, a prominent democrat, was appointed by President Taft to the federal bench for the Eastern District of North Carolina in line with his avowed policy of choosing for the judiciary the best men available, irrespective of politics. The dissatisfied republicans declared tonight that they would ask Congressman Moorehead to endeavor to have the appointment of Professor Glasson held up. It may be well to remark that the white Republicans of this neighborhood have a grievance too. Here is the statement of the record of the gentleman recently appointed Assistant Postmaster of Richmond, Va., as expounded by the Richmond, Va. News-Leader, of September 29th: The voting list of the Second precinct of Monroe ward, wherein Isaiah White Fuller resided at the time of the November presidential election, fails to show that Mr. Fuller cast a vote. Mr. Fuller has been registered as a voter in the Second precinct of Monroe since 1902, and was transferred in June, 1909, a half year after the presidential election, to the first precinct of Clay ward, where he lives now. His name now appears on the registry list of that precinct. Mr. Fuller paid his capitation tax for 1905, 1906, 1907 and 1908, which entitled him to a vote in the November election, 1908, unless through a change of residence he had not lived the required time in the new ward. But his transfer was only recorded in June of this year. Naturally, the voting list of that precinct does not record his name. * * * It may be stated positively that there is deep resentment in the breasts of the more powerful and influential men in the party over the appointment of Isaiah W. Fuller as assistant postmaster or Richmond. While the discontent is not voiced in public and the leading republicans here will not acknowledge that there has been internecine strife because of the appointment of Mr. Fuller, it is known that the situation was discussed by the committeemen last night and that there was an unmistakable show of temper. It was declared in the meeting that the new assistant postmaster could not have been appointed as a "Taft democrat" for the reason that he did not vote for Taft. It was stated that Mr. Fuller did not vote at all in the presidential election; that he was not qualified, having neglected to pay his poll tax. It was further declared that Mr. Fuller only recently brought himself out of the class of poll-tax delinquents by paying up so as to qualify for the appointment he received from Mr. Allan. There were several other enlivening incidents to mark the meeting of the committee. The colored people of this state have no need to shed any tears over the situation. They were ignored and eliminated because they were Negroes and they now have the satisfaction of seeing the white men set aside because they are Republicans. Jobs for an assistant postmaster are not for colored folks. Postmaster Edgar Allan, Jr., evidently made his arrangements before hand. He secured valuable support, that kind which was potent and influential at the White House and he is shrewd enough to make a compensating exchange regardless of the effect it is having upon his party associates. The Postmaster has usually controlled party affairs in this city and it begins to look that Mr. Allan has not only the task or discharging the duties of his office, but also that of building up a new political machine in this city. If he has the political acumen of his brilliant father, he will no doubt succeed where he failed, win where he lost. For our part, "Go it ye cripples, and may the best man win." SALOON HOLD-UP SUSPECT CAUGHT Reuben Conn Held For Double Murder in Philadelphia. WOUNDED A THIRD MAN Masked Bandit Entered Barroom and Shot Bartender After Demanding His Valuables — Put a Bullet Through Leg of One Customer and Fatally Shot Another. Philadelphia, Sept. 23.—In the arrest of Reuben Conn, one of the men who had been drinking in the saloon earlier in the night, the detectives who are working on the case believe they have found a key to the solution of the mysterious hold-up and double murder in the saloon of Patrick J. Quinn, when three men were shot, two of whom have since died, by a masked robber, who disappeared after emptying the cash register. The dead men are Henry S. Saylor, a bookkeeper for a manufacturing firm, who lived at Oak Lane, a suburb about two miles from the scene of the hold-up and double murder, and James Quinn, an elevator constructor, who was acting as bartender in the absence of his father and elder brother. The wounded man is John J. Cassidy. He is in a hospital, suffering with a bullet wound in his leg. According to the story told by Cassidy, Conn, who has been in trouble before with the police and is said to have served a term in the house of correction, was drinking in the saloon during the evening. He left before the rest of the party. About a quarter of an hour after Conn left the saloon a man entered, wearing a mask made from a black handkerchief, and with his soft hat pulled down over his eyes. He carried a revolver in his hands and commanded young Quinn, who was behind the bar, to hand over his valuables. Quinn started to comply, when the robber leaned over the bar and shot him in the abdomen. He then turned the weapon on Saylor and shot him below the heart. Cassidy, who was standing near the door, started to make his escape, when a third shot was fired. The bullet passed through his leg and lodged in the panel of the door. Cassidy, who had been drinking rather heavily, then started to run for the nearest police station. He was found several blocks away by a night watchman, who sent him to the Samaritan hospital. Saylor, although fatally wounded ran from the place and in some mysterious manner succeeded in reaching his home, nearly two miles away. He was only able to tell his wife that he had been shot by a robber before he lapsed into unconsciousness. He was removed to a hospital, where he died. The bandit escaped after rifling the cash register of about $35. Conn, the man under arrest, denies that he knows anything of the shooting and says that he did not return to the saloon after leaving it fifteen minutes before the shooting occurred. He will be brought to the hospital where Cassidy is confined in the hope that the latter may be able to identify him as the robber. STEGALL COMES WITH SHERIFF ON FIRST TRAIN Judge Fite Decides to Honor Habeas Corpus of Federal Court. Following a conference held yesterday between representatives of the state and the government, at which Attorney General Hart was present, United States District Attorney Tate received early at night a message from Judge Fite, of the Cherokee circuit, to the effect that acting on advice of Attorney General Hart, he would send Charles Stegall to Atlanta on the first train in the care of the sheriff. As Dade county is some distance from Atlanta, the man who has caused a clash between state and federal courts will not arrive before 6 o'clock this afternoon. The case has been set for trial on Friday afternoon. At the time that Mr. Tate received the message from Judge Fite three United States deputy marshals were waiting in Atlanta for the train which would take them to Trenton, where they intended to demand possession of Stegall in the name or the government. Charles Stegall is wanted in Atlanta as the result of a habeas corpus proceedings taken out to secure his liberty from jail at Trenton, Ga., where he has been confined on order of Judge Fite because he refused to divulge information relative to an alleged registered distillery near Rising Fawn, G., which he declares he secured in his official capacity as United States gauger. CONFERENCE HELD HERE Solicitor General T. C. Milner, 66 the Cherokee circuit, came to Atlanta Monday and made request of Governor Brown that he request Attorney General John C. Hart to assist him in the conduct of the case, which Governor Brown promptly did. Following this there was a conference held between Solicitor General Milner and Judge Hart on the part of the state and District Attorney Carter Tate and Assistant District Attorney Henley, representing the United States court. The parties to this conference declined to discuss it or to state what was done or contemplated, but it was learned that the outcome of it was a suggestion to Judge Fite that the proper procedure in the case is to respect the writ of habeas corpus issued from the United States court and to raise there the question as to the legal right of the state court to force Stegall to testify. Solicitor General Milner left the city in the afternoon for Calhoun, where Judge Fite is at present. THE QUESTION IN THE CASE The present question in the case is not whether or not Stegall is legally bound to give the testimony asked of him by the state court, regarding the existence of a distillery in Dade county, but whether or not the writ of habeas corpus issued by the United States court shall be respected. Both state and federal authorities are agreed, it is sard, that the only proper procedure in the case was for Sheriff Thurman to deliver Stegall before the United States court, in response to this writ, and there to make answer that Stegall was held because he defied the state court and refused to answer questions put to him by the grand jury. The state will contend that Judge Fite was correct in the position taken that Stegall is legally bound to give the evidence asked of him. The state's position is that Stegall although a government employee, must give the evidence asked, though it is admitted the United States court has the right to demand his production under writ of habeas corpus. STEGALL WON'T TESTIFY Trenton, Ga., September 27. (Special)—Judge Fite left this morning for Calhoun court without adjourning here. On his instructions, Colonel John P. Jacoway called on Stegall at the jail, delivering his message, saying: "If you will say George Cureton is making whiskey I will turn you loose." To this Stegall replied: "I will never testify until I am directed to do so by the United States government." Stegall is Stegall is still in fail. Chattanooga, Tenn., September 27.—(Bv Associated Press.)—Giving his side on the controversy with federal officials in Georgia, over the arrest of Charles Stegall, United States storekeeper and gauger, and an order for the arrest of H. A. Rucker, internal revenue collector, for alleged contempt of his court, Judge A. W. Fite, of the Dade county superior court, to-day while in Chattanooga said: "I am unable to understand how it can be seriously contended that a storekeeper and gauger at a government wildcat distillery can defy a state court and protect the one whom he is aiding and abetting in violating the state law by refusing to tell what is being manufactured upon the pretext that he derived his knowledge solely by reason of his confidential relations with the distiller, a fact that anyone passing through the distillery could know as well as he, and one that every law-abiding manufacturer wants the world to know. "It does seem to me, and I feel sure, that such is not the meaning of the law. The Dade county superior court had jurisdiction or the person, and it passed upon the legality of the question, which Stegall refused to answer, and the judgment is valid until set aside and this cannot be done on a writ of habeas corpus, but may be done by petition, by the court rendering the judgment, or by the supreme court on a writ of error." JUDGE FITE TALKS. Calhoun, Ga., September 27.—(Special.)—Judge Fite arrived here $3.50 RECIPE CURES WEAK MEN—FREE Send Name and Address Today- You Can Have It Free and Be Strong and Vigorous. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, failing memory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has cured so many worn and nervous men right in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his manly power and virility, quickly and quietly, should have a copy. So I have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study or men and I am convinced it is the surest acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who is weak and discouraged with repeated failures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the quickest-acting restorative, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCHING remedy ever devised, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: Dr. A. E. Robinson, $895 Luck Building, Detroit, Mich., and I will send you a copy of this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary envelope free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 to $5.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free. this evening from Trenton, having adjourned court there today. A true bill was found against E.W. Cureton Saturday for running a distillery, but the case will not be tried till next term. Subpoenas have been issued for all witnesses, including Collector Rucker and Storekeeper and Gauger Stegall. Judge Fite says that he has no disposition to bring on a clash between federal and state authorities, but is confident he is right and is determined to close the distillery somehow and says that the collector and storekeeper and gauger are as much responsible for it being run as Mr. Cureton and that they will be indicted if they have violated the law. He declares there should be a federal statute prohibiting the government officials from adding and abetting private individuals in violating the prohibition law or issuing license for the manufacture or sale of liquors in prohibition territories. Judge Fite further says that the Atlanta papers have not stated the state's side fully or fairly and that they must have got their information from the internal revenue officials in and about the federal building. He says the following is what occurred and upon which is founded the order of this court committing Stegall to jail for contempt. After being sworn before the grand jury certain questions were asked him, all of which he answered except the last as follows: Question: "What is your name?" Answer: "Charles E. Stegall." Question: "What is your occupation?" Answer: "I am a storekeeper and gauger employed by the government." Question: "Where are you employed?" Answer: "At the G. W. Cureton distillery at Rising Fawn." Question: "What is manufactured at this distillery?" This last question he refused to answer. When asked by the court why he refused to answer he said: "I am acting under instructions from my superior officer, Mr. Rucker, the collector of internal revenue." The court then assured him that the question was legal and proper and that he could answer it without violating any law and urged him to do so, but he still refused to answer and the court ordered him to jail for contempt. —Atlanta, Ga.

Easton, Pa., Sept. 23—Basing her claim on the allegation that Thomas Well, keeper of the Baronial hotel, at Nazareth, sold her husband liquor on the day he fell from a street car and was killed, Mrs. Susan Altemose, of Slatington, brought suit against bim for $10,000 damages. She charges that the man had been warned not to sell liquor to Altemose. The death of her husband left Mrs. Altemose peniless, with eight children to support, the youngest of whom is only three months old. In her statement of claim Mrs. Altemose says that her husband was known to have intemperate habits, and that on May 22, when he was killed, he was evidently intoxicated when he entered the Baronial hotel. He bought more liquor there, she asserts, and it was after drinking this that he met his death.

THE PLANET Paul a Prisoner —The Arrest Sunday School Lesson for Oct. 3, 1909 Specially Arranged for This Paper LESSON TEXT.—Acts 21:17-22:29. Mem ory verses Acts 21:29. GOLDEN TEXT."Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. Tim." Tim. "THE Prayer arrived at Jerusalem Friday, May 27. The feast of the Pentecost was Saturday, May 28. The mob was during the following week, about June 1. The feast of Jerusalem, at the home of James, of Jerusalem, at the home of the church, and in the Temple Courts. Suggestion and Practical Thought. The Reception to Paul by the Church of Jerusalem—Vs. 17:29. Paul and His Company. Paul did not come alone to Jerusalem, but was accompanied by Luke, his beloved physician ("we"), Trophimus of Ephesus (Acts 21:29), and probably Aristarchus of Thessalonica (Acts 27:2). Rendall thinks that all who are mentioned as beginning the journey with Paul (Acts 20:4) continued with him to the end at Jerusalem; thus adding to those mentioned above, Sopater of Berea, Secundus of Thessalonica, Galus of Derbe, Timothy of Lystra, and Tychleus of Ephesus (Eph. 6:21). The number and character of these men have made an impression on the Christians of Jerusalem. The Gifts from the Gentle Churches were probably presented at this time (Acts 24:17). The First Welcome on the day they arrived was one of private and personal greetings, which were expressions of gladness, after so long a separation. It was seven years since Paul had made any prolonged stay at Jerusalem (Acts 15). The Impending Crisis.—Vs. 20-26. The settlement, seven or eight years before, by vote of the whole church at Jerusalem, of the great question whether the Gentiles must keep the Jewish laws and ceremonies in order to belong to the Christian church, did not change the opinions of all the Jewish Christians. Large numbers of them were intensely zealous for the keeping of the law, for it was divine. They had heard vague rumors of Paul's teaching and conduct that he taught that not only the Gentiles, but even the Jews, need not keep the law of Moses. Paul refused to set up his opinion against theirs in a case which did not involve principle. Paul Mobbed in the Temple Court. —Vs. 27:31. Some Jews from the region of Ephesus who had been in conflict with Paul there, or at least knew of his teaching there, saw Paul in the inner court where the Gentiles were forbidden to come. They had also seen one of the Ephesian Gentile Christians walking with Paul around the city. Putting these two facts together they imagined that Paul had brought this Greek Gentile within the forbidden court; contrary to fact, Anyone could enter the outer court of the Gentiles. This cry aroused the whole Jewish crowd in the Temple courts. The Jews laid violent hands on Paul, dragged him out of the court of the women, through the Gate Beautiful, then down the steps into the Court of the Gentiles, where they tried to kill him. The Rescue—Vs. 31:39 31. The "chief captain" was equivalent to our colonel, Le., captain over a regiment of a thousand men. His name was Claudius Lysias (Acts 23:26). "Of the band." A Roman cohort, the tenth part of a legion, or about six hundred men. "Centurions." Captains of a hundred. "Bound with two chains." One from each of his arms to a soldier on each side of him (compare Acts 12:6). This secured the prisoner, yet left him free to walk away with his guards when the detachment was marched off. "He was borne of the soldiers." No sooner had he got on the stairs than the mob made a rush for him, but owing to his fetters he was carried along with the soldiers. When the top of the stairs had been reached, Paul asked, and was granted permission to speak. Paul's Address from the Castle Stairs. — Acts 21:40—22:23. Paul stood on the castle stairway, chained to a soldier. He spoke in Hebrew with which all Jews were familiar. Paul's address was courteous and conciliatory. He showed how strong and active a Jew he had been. He then gave the arguments and reasons which convinced himself, and ought to convince them. He had found the Messiah whom all Jews longed for. The Jews listened to Paul till he spoke of his mission to the Gentiles, and then the flames of their wrath burst forth like the fires of a volcano. They cried out in their rage, they rent their clothes, they threw dust into the air. Within the Castle. The Soldiers About to Torture Paul to Compel Him to Confess. Paul Saved by His Roman Citizenship.—Acts 2: 24: 29. The Roman commander ordered that Paul should be compelled, by torture, to confess his compelled, by torture, to confess his crimes. While they were binding Paul, he asked the officer if it was lawful for them to scourge a Roman citizen uncondemned. The chief commander was called, and learning that Paul was a free born Roman citizen, he at once stayed the proceedings pending further inquiries, which he conducted in person. The claim of Roman citizenship was instantly allowed. ODDITY IN HAT PINS ODDITY IN HAT PINS NEW KIND WILL BE POPULAR AT CHRISTMAS TIME. Embroidered Linen or Canvas Circles Are Fastened on the Disk Tops the Same Way. A new kind of hat pin, which will probably figure largely among the handiwork made for Christmas presents, is embroidered. These hat pins are very simple to work and may be made in colors harmonizing with any kind of hat with which they are to be worn and can be studded with beads or imitation jewels and be made quite resplendent. First of all, take a piece of linen or canvas, trace out the requisite number of circles and stamp or trace a design, which may be as rude or as elaborate as you like the badly drawn 10 ones being barbaric, the well drawn ones being art nouveau in their subsequent effect. The designs can be worked in a frame, which is the most satisfactory method of keeping the rounds in shape. Half a yard of linen would probably be sufficient for a set of hat pins and buttons, for the buttons can be made as well as the hat pin heads, but in estimating the amount of material required remember that you will need double the quantity necessary for embroidering the top of the hat pin, as each button or pin must be neatly finished at the back with a circle of plain linen turned in and invisibly hemmed around the edges. One of the two circles is placed over the top of the hat pin, which should be of the plain disk variety that is now so abundant, and the hat pin is run, through the middle of the other, which is brought up and sewn to the top, the edge being covered with a narrow bit of gold cord. The embroidery is carried out in silks, gold thread and beads. The idea for buttons and hat pins is novel and distinctive. KEEP VINEGAR CRUET CLEAN Usual Methods Not Found Advisable, But Work Can Be Done in Several Ways. To keep a vinegar cruet shining and clean is not easy, as many a housewife can testify. The neck of the cruet being narrow, usual bottle cleaning methods are futile. After washing the bottle with hot soapsuds and rinsing thoroughly a few hard beans can be inserted in the bottle, which is then almost filled with water, to which a few drops of ammonia have been added. Shaking the beans around will remove incrustation from the sides. A long-handled paint brush with a full, thick but not broad brush, is excellent to clean out cruets. It can be dipped in a solution of soda or borax. One housekeeper saves and dries her egg shells, and puts them in her cruets, which are half filled with soapy water. After shaking thoroughly, until the bottles are clean, the cruets are washed and rinsed with cold water, followed by hot water. Dainty Collarettes The latest of the one-piece dresses are finished with lingerie collars, though not of the Dutch or Prisella variety. The new ones are merely bits of fine embroidery worn around the line of the guipme, particularly if it is pointed in front and round at the back. Many of these appear upon linen and foulard frocks, and when the collar is deep it looks very much like a bertha or a fichu. Of course, these tiny things are quite unnecessary, but when they are immaculately clean and fresh they give a dark frock a daintiness that it cannot of itself possess. To Remove Perspiration Stains It is not generally known, but peroxide of hydrogen is invaluable for removing perspiration stains from white satin coat sleeve linings; but great care must be taken that it does not touch the cloth part. No rim is left when dry to show that anything has been used, and there is absolutely no after odor. This same fluid is also invaluable to remove the discoloration that linen collars leave on the neck, and does not irritate the skin.—Vogue. Beads in Profusion Never before have beads been seen in greater profusion. The most fashionable are the small ones of opaque glass, worn in one long single strand. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ACCESSORY FOR TEA TABLE Open Bottle of Lavender Salts Is Recommended as Pleasant in Hot Weather. A delightful accessory for a tea table in hot weather is a bottle of lavender salts, the stopper out of the bottle and the salts just sufficiently strong to exhale a deliciously pungent, cooling essence. Just as so many girls love to burn a stick of Japanese incense on their winter tea table, so in the summer time do these salts add greatly to the charms of the tray set with goodies and cooling lemonade or iced tea. The prettiest receptacle for these salts is a glass flask or bottle such as were often seen on a dressing table of two or more decades back, but which have not been in use in recent years. Any flask or bottle, however, that has a fairly large opening will do for this purpose. First the flask is filled with little cubes of salts of lavender, which can be procured at druggists, and then the liquid is poured on. As this liquid will evaporate quickly in a bottle so often open to the air, an extra supply would better be obtained when the salts are purchased. When not in use the stopper should be kept in the bottle and removed only when the tray is brought into the room. A flask of these salts makes a most acceptable prize or gift at any time of the year, and, needless to remark, it can be made as costly a gift as could be desired, for while the really old square glass bottles are comparatively inexpensive, there can also be bought all kinds of flasks of finest silk casing or of iridescent glass, which are in themselves articles of real beauty. Even a plain glass bottle tie with a pretty ribbon tied about the neck, containing the fragrant, stimulating salts, will make a charming gift to friend, kin or anyone. A flask about square, four inches wide by five in height, is best for these salts, but even more important than the actual size of the bottle itself is the width of the opening. HOW TO SERVE CHEESE Proper Ways to Put Edam, Pineapple, Brie and Other Varieties on the Table. There are many ways of serving the different kinds of cheese. Edam may be placed in a cheese holder, which is made for the purpose, with a cheese scoop beside it. The top of the cheese should be sawed off so that one can scoop out the softer part. Pineapple cheese may be served in the same way. If you do not own a cheese holder, wrap a small napkin or finger dolly around the cheese and stand it on a dainty dish. Brie and other soft cheeses should be served on a round plate, the tinfoll, of course, removed, and a small knife placed beside the cheese on the plate. Or you may cut the cheese in blocks and pass a cheese fork or pick with them. Roquefort and other strong cheeses should be served in a cheese dish with a cover, or in a small cheese pot. A spoon should be passed with these. Sap sago should be grated and put in a small deep dish or bowl and served with a spoon. It may be sprinkled over thin slices of brown bread and butter or over ordinary wheat bread if preferred. Parmesan cheese is only used in cooking. It is a wise plan to keep some of this grated in a bottle ready for use. A vegetable salad is usually served with game at a dinner and is often followed by a hot-cheese course. If there is no game course the salad may be served with cheese or cheese preparations. The hot-cheese preparations are cheese foulteetes, croquettes, scallops and souffles. The cold preparations are cream cheese bails, cheese charlotte, deviled cheese, cheese sticks or straws. THE HAT A becoming model in navy blue chip, with dark red poppies and navy blue wheatears.

At Washington the newspaper correspondents are telling the following story about Representative Walter Brownlow of Tennessee: Recently he called up somebody at the White House. He had a fierce time. Central who tried to get the number for him, appeared to be inexperienced or asleep. Mr. Brownlow, ordinarily the most patient of men, finally lost his patience. "Look here!" he shouted; "guit this foolishness! Either get me the White House or give me some place where I may at least talk to my intellectual equal!" Silence for a moment, and then over the wire came a good loud "Hallo!" in a man's voice. Mr. Brownlow was much relieved. "What place is this?" he asked. "The government hospital for the insane, across the river," came the answer. Representative Brownlow is now endearing to ascertain that central's name. He wants to have her promoted. That's what he says to the newspaper men—Judge. NO ESCAPE. Once a very nervous chap To cross the street did try; An auto handed him a tap— And sent him to the sky.

The young man who graduated some weeks ago had secured a position in the great business emporium and was there to tell them how to run the business. "You seem to know a great deal, young man," said the senior partner. "Do I?" boasted the recent graduate, his chest swelling with pride. "Ah, sir, some day I expect to wake up and find myself famous." The senior member silently opened a drawer in his desk and took out a package. "Here you are, young man. Take this home with you with my compliments." "What is that?" "An alarm clock. It will help you to wake up." The firefires twinkled in the tall grasses like my miyads of tiny stars. "You, John Luther Elderberry!" gigled the pretty girl in the pink sunbonnet. "I am surprised!" "Surprised at what, Cynthia?" drawled the lanky youth at her side. "Why, at you, standing there and kissing a lone, defenseless girl that way." "Oh, don't worry about that, Cynthia. Here is another way."

Butler lived in Lowell, Mass., he had a little black and tan dog, says the Saturday Evening Post. One morning as he was coming down the street, followed by the dog, a policeman stopped him and told him that, in accordance with an ordinance just passed, he must muzzle the dog. "Very well," said Butler. 2010 Next morning he came along with the dog, and the policeman again told him of the muzzling ordinance and requested him to muzzle his dog. A POLICEMAN quested him to STOPPED HIM. muzzle his dog. "All right," snorted Butler. "It is a fool ordinance, but I'll muzzle him. Let me pass." Next morning the policeman was on the lookout. "I beg your pardon, general," he said, "but I must arrest you. Your dog is not muzzled." THE FARMER'S FIELD "Not muzzled!" shouted Butler. "Not muzzled! Well, look at him." The policeman looked more carefully at the dog and found a tiny toy muzzle tied to its tail. "General," he expostulated, "this dog is not properly muzzled." "Yes, he is, sir," asserted Butler—"yes, he is. I have examined that idiotic statute, and I find it says that every dog must wear a muzzle. It doesn't say where the dog shall wear the muzzle, and I choose to decorate the tail of my dog instead of the head with this infernal contraption." Success Success is the hand trained to do its work. The eye that sees that the lines run true. The ear that hears when the truth you shirk. The brain that conceive old truths anew. Success is the strife with the heart aglow. The effort we make for our fellow man, The truth we make for our outer world, The soul that fulfills its highest plan. -E. H. Elsworth in New York Inde- A Dull Scholar. A negro boy was up for the fifth time on charges of chicken stealing. This time the magistrate decided to appeal to the boy's father. "Now, see here, Abe," said he to the darky, "this boy of yours has been up in court so many times for stealing chickens that I'm tired of seeing him here." "Ah don't blame yo', sah," returned the father. "Ah's tired of seein' him here too." "Then why don't you teach him how to act? Show him the right way, and he won't be coming here." "Ah has showed 'im de right way, sah," declared the old man earnestly. "Ah has suttenly showed 'im de right way, but he somehow keeps gettin' caught comin' 'way wild dose chickens!" One of the Advantages A pretty, highborn English girl engaged herself to a young tradesman and never wavered in her determination to marry him despite the gloomy forecasts of her friends, who predicted lifelong misery for her. "My child, do be advised," urged one of these well meaning ladies, calling to see the radiant bride on the very eve of the wedding. "I am an older woman than you and have seen more of the world, and it always makes me sad to hear of a nice girl marrying beneath her station. It is social suicide." "Then from a social standpoint consider me dead," smiled the lighthearted girl, "for I shall certainly marry Tom tomorrow. We reckoned up the situation long ago and found a whole host of advantages, but not a solitary thing could we discover to place on the disadvantage side." "Then you couldn't have searched very far, my dear," said her counselor fiely. "Take my own case. Much as love you, I shall be unable to visit you when you are married. Have you bargained for that?" The bride blushed. "Oh, yes, indeed!" she answered hastily. "We put that down first of all." Cheerful and Hopeful The men whom I have seen succeed best in life have always been cheerful and hopeful men, who went about their business with a smile on their faces and took the changes and chances of this mortal life like men, facing rough and smooth alike as it came.-Charles Kingsley. Consolation. A young probationer was preaching his trial sermon in a church in one of the inland villages of Scotland. After finishing the "discoarse" he leaned over the pulpit and engaged in silent prayer, an act which rather surprised the congregation, who were unaccustomed to such procedure. Suddenly the young preacher felt some one slapping him gently on the shoulder, and on turning round he beheld the beadle, who said: "Hoot, toot, man, diluna tak' it sae muckle to hert. Ye'll maybe dae better next time." Not So Bad. Nervous Lady—Don't your experiments frighten you terribly, professor?

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA FOR THE CHILDREN PEOPLE OF THE DAY --- The Heron's Lesson A heron, bird of long beak and tail legs, was going along a river. He saw any quantity of carp and pike (the heron is a great eater of fish), and he could easily have caught them, but he wasn't hungry. This was a very good reason. A few momeats later his appetite came back to him, and he returned to the edge of the water to find something to eat. But the pike and the carp were no longer there. It was a great loss for him. He saw some tenches, but this did not please him. He wanted something more solid. "Me eat tenches!" he exclaimed. "What do they take me for?" At last he found some gudgeons. "Gudgeons! Did any one ever see a heron eat such small fry? What—open my beak for so little!" Hunger overtook him, and in his extreme want, not being able to find anything else, he was glad enough to run across a small. Disdain nothing, and don't be so difficult to please. Often in being willing to gain too much we run the risk of losing everything. The Dancing Pea Push a pin halfway through a green pea, making the two ends as nearly as possible the same weight—1. e., let the point come a little more than halfway through. Then break off the stem of a common clay pipe, and the toy will be completed. To make the pea dance put it on top of the pipestem, the point of the pin sticking down the bore. Throw your head back with the pipe in your mouth so that the stem may be held vertically and blow gently. This will make the pea rise. Keep blowing harder until the pea rises entirely from the pipe and is supported in the air. It will now begin to spin round and round and turn over and over, all the white bobbing up and down, as long as the current of air is kept up. The dance may be changed by pushing the pin up to its head. The pea will now rise to the top of the pipe and dance slowly and with great dignity around the edge, or if the digit is a little stronger it will spin rapidly unless the blower stops to laugh, when it is apt to fall into the open mouth below. A Shy Horse Once, long time ago, there was a man who owned a fine horse, which was very shy of an open umbrella and was not safe when he saw one. He often thought how he could break the horse of this bad habit. After thinking a long time he decided to put a potato on the end of a closed umbrella, as the horse was very fond of potatoes. He repeated this several mornings until the horse was not shy of it. Then he opened the umbrella a little more each day until he could open it all the way. But the horse's master was not sure the plan would do out of doors. One rainy day he took the horse out of doors and, of course, he soon met some umbrellas. Instead of being frightened he went toward the umbrellas expecting to get a potato. The horse did not get one, but when he reached home he had several. After that he never feared an umbrella. So you see it takes kindness and patience to get along with animals. The Little Princesses. There were once three princesses. Their mother, the queen, was dead, and there was going to be a new queen. Now, the question was, Who was it going to be? Once the three princesses were sitting in the garden. The youngest one, whose name was Irene, said: "I am going to be queen. I am smarter than you are." "No, I am," said Miriam. "I am twice as smart as you. I am older and more able to rule the people than you are." The oldest one, Rosa, did not speak thus. She said, "I do not fight with my sisters." The king happened to pass by the garden where they were sitting. He said, "Rosa, you are queen, because you did not fight with your sisters." And Rosa was the queen, and a good one at that. The Quakers' Meeting: The players kneel upon the ground on one knee and rest their hands upon the other knee, twiddling their thumbs all the time. The one at the head of the line asks the others: "Friends, did you hear of Brother Obadiah's death and how he died?" The answer will be: "No; how did he die?" Then the leader says, "With one finger up, with one eye shut and with one shoulder awry." As he speaks he must suit his actions to his words, and the company must follow suit. Should any one fall to do so they must pay a forfeit. Animals In Paradise. According to the Mohammedan creed, ten animals are admitted into paradise. These ten are the dog, Baanlam's ass, Solomon's ant, Jonah's whale, the ram of Ishmael, the queen of Sheba's ass, the camel of Salt, the cuckoo of Bilkis the ox of Moses and the animal called Al Borah, which conveyed Mohammed to heaven.

In 1873 he became owner of a newspaper and two years later became the practice of law. He early took a hand in politics and soon became a power in Preston county. He served several terms in the state senate and in 1891 was chosen chairman of the Republican state committee, continuing in that position until 1904. During this period he was secretary of state for eight years. Governor Dawson is a native of Maryland, fifty-six years old, and is considered specially qualified for his duties in the far east. Beginning of a Financier Major Alexander McDowell, clerk of the house of representatives, is the president of a thriving bank up in his home town of Sharon, Pa. In his younger days he ran a country newspaper. A party of friends were sitting in his office recently when one of them asked: "Major, how did you become a financier?" "Well," said he. "when I was a boy and went to Sunday school they gave us a red ticket for every hundred verses in the Bible we memorized. For ten red tickets we got one blue ticket, and for ten blue tickets we got a nice leather bound Bible. It was hard work for me to commit verses to memory, and after I had learned a few hundred of them I found that by shooting accurately with a marble I could accumulate more blue tickets that I would earn by memorizing in a lifetime. So I let the other boys get the tickets, and then I played marbles for them. I had more Bibles than any other boy in town." "But what did you do with the extra Bibles?" "I traded them for marbles," said the major. Hypocrite In the Hereafter Dr. Madison C. Peters was discussing the question, "Will the coming man marry?" He instanced a certain type of bachelor.

WATKINS. FIGHTS FOR LIFE AFTER DAUGHTER IS MURDERED Crippled Wife Wrests Pistol from Hand of W. B. Grover. Richmond, Va., September 27. — Overburdened with a sense of financial loss, upon which he had brooded through many sleepless nights, W. B. Grover, a well-known farmer of Chesterfield county, living about three miles from Centralia, and within three minutes walk of Stop No. 26, on the Richmond-Petersburg electric car line, arose from his bed between 1 and 2 o'clock yesterday morning, and after an attempt to murder his entire household, succeeded in shooting his twenty-year-old daughter, Louise, to death, and then committing suicide, leaving his crippled wife alone in a house of horrors, three-quarters of a mile from the nearest neighbor. KILLS DAUGHTER FIRST He killed his daughter first at the threshold of his bedroom door, and then made a vain attempt to shoot his wife. After a sharp struggle, he fired point blank at her head, while she was begging for her life, and, thinking he had also ended her, went back into his bedroom and fired a bullet into his brain. He fell at right angles with the body of his daughter, their feet almost touching, and their wetting blood slowly mingled together, forming a long, dark pool that spread far over the floor. Outside, with no one within a sound of her voice, Mrs. Grover screamed and shrieked in her terror and agony until an answering cry came from a possum hunting negro, Lewis Preston, who was the first to alarm the distant neighbors. The double tragedy came without other warning than that Grover had shown signs of despondency, and had several times said to his wife that he wished he could get some drug to make him sleep. He became worn and haggard, for the strain of constant brooding told on his nervous system. He complained that he had lost heavily, and was in debt, but he had never spoken of suicide. It was between 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning that the rumbling of a passing car awove him from his drowsing and he got out of bed and procured his revolver, a 38-calibre Iver Johnson. "I'm going out into the yard," he said to his wife. CRIPPLED WIFE ATTEMPTS RESCUE "If you do, I'm going too," she answered, and crawled painfully from the bed. He began arguing with her, telling her that he didn't want her to go with him—that he wanted to go alone. He didn't state his purpose, but she read it in his eyes, and the desire to save him from suicide overcame her fear or personal harm. He became rough and talked loudly, though he was usually a quiet man. "I'm going to end it all," he shouted, and tried to pass his wife. Miss Grover, hearing the commotion, came down from her bedroom above and opened the door of her parents' room. She stood in the doorway and called to her father, reaching out to grasp the pistol from his hand. There was a short struggle, and then he fired. The bullet struck her in the back of the head, just as she turned from the muzzle of the revolver, and without a sound she fell at his feet. Her body was stretched in front of him, lying across the hall that separated his bed-room from a spare room beyond and her feet were next to him. WIFE FIGHTS FOR LIFE "My God!" he cried, "I've killed my child!" He turned on his wife. "Well, we'll all go together." He grasped her and placed the muzzle of the pistol against her head. Alone in the dimly lighted room, she screamed and fought with him. She broke away, but he caught her again yelling out that they should all go out together. But she was handicapped with a dislocated hip and was unable to make headway against his greater strength. They fought around the room until he managed again to get the revolver against her head. She knocked it up with her free arm, and, luckily, the revolver was broken. He had to release her to put it together again, and she rushed from the room. But he caught her again in the hallway, with his pistol again ready for action. The woman dropped to her knees, and groveling on the floor, begged for her life. "For Webster's sake, spare me, spare me!" she shrieked. "For God's sake, don't kill me! Please don't kill me!" But his mania had gotten possession of his senses, and standing over her he flourished his pistol. "We must go together," he repeated, and pulled the trigger. The ball went over her head, but she fell backwards, and he thought he had killed her. The wife heard him go back into his room, and the report that followed. Standing by his girl's body, he had shot himself in the brain, and the two lay close together. ALONE WITH THE DEAD Half-fainting. Mrs. Grover reached the yard. She called wildly for help, but no one heard her, until the negro, Preston, going home from a possum hunt, heard her cries. He was in a distant field, and was carrying a lantern. Mrs. Grover was attracted by the light, and redoubled her cries. Preston came up, and she screamed out to him that her husband had killed her daughter and himself, and for God's sake go to get help. He ran for the house of W. P. Shomway, who lives three quarters of a mile away, and aroused Mr. Shomway and his family, telling them that something awful had happened at the Grover's, and that Mrs. Grover was out in the yard alone. But they doubted the man's story, and told him to go to W. M. Willis, who lives but a short distance off. With only a thin skirt over her nightclothes, without shoes and without cover for her shoulders. Mrs. Grover, too frightened to stay longer started out alone for help. She had not even her crutch. The path lay across lonely fields, and it was nearly 3 o'clock in the morning, but the fear of night was as nothing to the dread of what she had left behind her. Though she had rarely left her house since the accident which dislocated her hip about eight months ago, she managed to crawl somehow across the fields for three-quarters of a mile, and collapsed in the doorway of Mr. Shomway's home. Between her cries and hysterical sobbing, she managed to tell what had happened, and asked them to go back with her. Mr. Willis and others of the two households were summoned, and all went back to the Grover home. Mrs. Grover being driven in a carriage. SON IS A MINISTER The bodies were still warm, but both father and daughter had evidently died instantly. Grover's revolver was lying under his body. A large pool of blood had spread over the floor, and in the light of the oll lamp it was a gruesome sight. The corpses were left untouched and Mr. Rowan, who boards with Mr. Willis, went to Centralia to summon Dr. J. F. Fragland, Jr., and to telegraph to the son, the Rev Wesley W. Grover, a Presbyterian minister, who graduated last April from the Union Theological Seminary, and who has a church in Parsons, W. Va. Dr. Ragland came, and examined the bodies, but there was no need for his services, and a message was dispatched to County Coroner George E. Robertson. After an attempt to use the long distance telephone to Parsons, W. Va., W. M. Taylor, the night operator at Centralia, got a message off to Mr. Grover, asking him to come at once. He will arrive some time today. Mrs. Grover was taken to the home of Mr. Willis, where she will remain until the arrival of her son. VERDICT OF INSANITY The inquest was held at 11 o'clock yesterday morning. There was but one witness—Mrs. Grover. She recited the painful story with great fortitude, but was so near collapse that she had to be taken away immediately after the process of law was finished. The verdict of the jury was simply that the girl had been killed by her father, and that he had committed suicide while temporarily insane. The Grovers were well known, especially in Richmond, and in Henrico county, where the family originally lived. Among those who went yesterday to offer their services and consolation were Rev. R. B. Eggleston, pastor of the Third Presbyterian Church, Richmond; Sheriff L. H. Kemp, of Henrico county, who had known the family well, and many others. There were also many callers from the country-side, for news of the tragedy spread far and wide during the morning. The Grover family originally came to Virginia eight or ten years before the Civil War, settling near Dutch Gap, in Henrico county. Four years ago Mr. Grover moved to Chesterfield county, having bought a fine farm of 120 acres. He had made several successful business ventures lately, it was said, but had been unable to keep his money. DEPRESSED BY MONEY AFFAIRS He owed about $1,500 on his farm, but that was considered very little in view of the value of the land. Lately he had been unsuccessful in buying a place on which he had set his heart, and this caused him much painful brooding. His wife tried to cheer him up, telling him to look on the bright side of things, but she could not comfort him. He became morose and despondent. He did not manage his farm well, according to neighbors, and that made things worse. Constant depression drove sleep from him, and the idea of committing suicide had been entertained by him probably for some time. Apparently, though, he did not at first contemplate killing his wife and daughter, but was driven to that when they attempted to prevent him from taking his own life. The Grover farm is situated on the Petersburg Turnpike, in full view of the road, standing in an open field that was once the battleground between the Union and Confederate forces at Drewry's Bluff. On the north side of the house, almost within arm's reach are the remains of the fortifications behird which the Southern soldiers resisted the advance of the Yankee army. In front is a schoolhouse, but there are few other houses in sight.—TimesDispatch. $150.00 Endowment Paid Richmond, Va., Sept. 27, 1909.
