THE RICHMOND PLANET THE AMERICAN BANKERS' ASSO. President Mitchell Continues His Recital--More About the Stock-yards--An Englishman's Opinion--President Taft in Chicago. THE RECEPTION AND BALL-GORGEOUS AND LIVELY SCENES IN THE WINDY CITY. VOLUME XXVI, NO. 46. THE AM BA President Mitch About the S Opinion-- THE RECEPTION A (Continued from last week.) While the method is practically the same in slaughtering hogs and killing cattle, the sight is somewhat different. The cow is dumped, so to speak on the concrete floor. It sometimes makes an effort to rise in its dying throes, but falls over. A man places the iron chain around one of its legs and it is slowly but surely hauled up with its head downward. Finally it reaches the moving platform. Here butchers perform their respective tasks, occupying only a few minutes in so doing, the animal passing to the next butcher. EACH MAN TO HIS PART. To be plain, it is just like making shoes by machinery, one man makes the upper, another the sole and another the heel and finally you have the completed shoe. So it is with cattle, one butcher cuts off the head, another skins it, another disembowels it another cuts off the legs, and so on, until you find in the refrigerating room just such meat as you see hanging up in the butchers' stalls in the market. ALL UTILIZED Every part of the cow, sheep, or hog is utilized. It used to be said that the slaughter-houses used every part of the animal, but the squeal, but now the phonograph has come and that is being used to amuse the people in the parlors. It may be well to describe the slaughter of the sheep and lambs. A billy goat is used to lead them into the slaughter-pen. They will follow him blindly. We looked over the rallings and there stood the long horned goat, quietly and peacefully "chewing the cud," while one after another of the sheep was carried out, hauled up by the hind leg and slaughtered. THE SLAGHTERING OF THE SHEEP. The humility or a sheep, its dumness, its apparent willingness to die is and has been proverbal. There was no noise in this department. The sheep registered no protest. It patiently and quietly submitted and even brought its head in line for the better insertion of the sharp bladed knife which ended its existence. There was one sound there besides the moving machinery, and that was the spatter of the blood on the concrete floor, beneath. It was this blood that made the sight nauseating on this side, just as it was the shrill squeal, and the hoarse bellow that made it sickening on the other. THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS Still when we passed to the canning department and to the smoked meat floor and saw the sausage machines, it seemed impossible that this meat was but a short time ago animate with life and that soon it would be utilized to make more life to furnish energy and brain-power for the conduct of the great enterprises now being conducted in every part of this country. We were soon ready for the return trin. THE SCHOOL-CHILDREN'S GREETING We boarded the elevated railway train, and after enjoying a hearty dinner we were soon again in the Banquet Hall where the Savings Bank Section had but recently concluded its sessions. The streets outside had been lined with schoolchildren bearing United States flags. They formed a barricade for miles to greet President William H. Taff, who was scheduled to arrive that morning. He was made comfortable in Congress Hotel, which is an annex of the Auditorium Hotel and is connected by a subterranean passage way under. Congress street. AN ENGLISHMAN INTERESTED It was while we were passing through the lobby of Auditorium Hotel that morning that we were accosted by Mr. John Phillips, a barrister (lawyer) of London, England. That he was wealthy was evident. He seemed surprised to see a colored man among the white bankers, and he lost no time in requesting us to come over and take a seat beside him. He piled us with questions. He wanted to know about the Mechanics' Savings Bank, of Richmond, Va. He listened with rapt attention to the account of the closer relationship now existing between the better class of southern white men and the better class of colored men. HAD MET DOUGLASS Finally, he began to talk. He had been acquainted with Frederick Douglass, having met him in England, many years ago. He told of his having arranged for him to meet and dine with the Prime Minister of England, and the Arch-bishop of Canterbury. When Mr. Douglass left the residence and was in the carriage with him he was so astounded by the entertainment and by the honor conferred upon him that he exclaimed. "Am I dreaming?" "SOCIAL EQUALITY." "I do not understand" said Mr. Phillips "this talk about social equality. It is strange to me. I frequently have persons speak to me about it. It is a mismaner. They ask me. Would you have your daughter marry a Negro? My answer to one of them was. I would not have my daughter marry you. No such question enters into the matter with me in discussing these conditions. Your people should strike out for yourselves. Venture out in finance, and others will help you. For twenty minutes or more he continued in this strain and after assuring him that we would write to him we parted. We have since received a letter from him. He was on the train en route to New York. ANOTHER PERSON'S QUERIES When we left him, we met a reporter for the Chicago Inter-Ocean, who had been seeking us having heard of our conversation. We gave him the information desired and then left at the hotel specified our photograph for future use in that newspaper. There was a noticeable absence of ladies in the hotels on the evening of Thursday, September 16. It was due to the grand reception and ball to the members of the American Bankers' Association at the Auditorium Theatre. THE RECEPTION AND BALL. The reception was scheduled to take place at 8:30 P. M. and the dancing would begin at 9 o'clock. As President Taft and his friends were to be present, it is needless to say that the crowd was large and the interest was intense. We considered carefully whether "the game was worth the candle," whether we should go there in the midst of that mighty throng, with the cream of the American continent, so to speak, faultlessly attired and displaying a wealth of loveliness, jewels, diadems, gowns and drapery that would have done credit to the palest days of Caesar's reign. As an individual we shrank from the ordeal, as a bander we hesitated to cross the threshold, as a journalist we braved it all and determined to see what probably had never been seen before by a colored person in a similar position. So we reached the Auditorium Theatre at 8:30 o'clock, automobiles were coming and coaches were in evidence. The entrance was brilliantly lighted. White attendants, attired in blue uniform greeted the guests. Dance folders were handed each member. We got ours and then we got in line to the check room where our "silk title" or head-gear, or hat or beaver, just as you choose to call it was taken in charge by the Japanese attendant and a check given for it. A GORGEOUS SCENE We entered the door-way and ascended the steps, finding ourselves in an amphitheatre so to speak. On either side were opera chairs. Where only two days before was a stage from, which President Reynolds ruled, now was a dancing floor, polished and waxed to perfection. Back of this could be seen two tiers of gallery, one above the other. In one was a band and in the other was another band. Each led by an accomplished musician. When one ceased, the other played and vice versa. Large cards with the number of the dance were changed as the ball proceeded. A WORD ABOUT THE DECORATIONS. The decorations were grand. Bunting and flowers and United States flags graced the occasion. Upon all of this shone the myriads of electric lights. There was one spot that attracted attention. It was to the right and it had been magnificently decorated. It was the box arranged for President Taft and his party. But the music was mellifluent. Ladies magnificently gowned moved with ease and grace to the strains of this sweet bewitching music, while handsome men in evening dress responded and the couples waltzed until there was a commotion. PRESIDENT TAFT THERE Both bands were playing the national anthem. The dancers stopped and looked to the box reserved for the President of the United States. A cheer arose from throats variously estimated to be ten thousand. Handkerchiefs were waved in recognition. On either side of the magnificent ball room could be seen officers or high rank, attired in the gold lace and adorned with the insignia of their station. The smiling face of Hon. William H. Taft. President of the United States, as he bowed recognition, but spoke not was seen. He was accompanied by Major General Fred. D. Grant. It was a scene long to be remembered and never to be forgotten. THE SCENE OF A LIFE TIME Here we were in the midst of the wealth of the country. In that vast throng no where as either servant or guest could we see or discern a member of the colored race. We no longer regretted that we had decided to come. We had been repaid for all of our trouble and as we sank in our seat, we looked again and again at the distinguished Chief Executive of the nation, who was being introduced to the ladies and gentlemen who were there to see him. There was no crowding. Every semblance of disorder was absent. Secret service men were everywhere in evidence, and Mr. Taft was so sheltered that any thought of injury to him was out of the question. HE CAME AND WENT He came in at 10 o'clock and he left at 10:30, although it had been published that he would come at 11 o'clock and that he would leave 45 minutes later. We saw him take his leave and the dance went on. It was 11 o'clock when we decided to retire. On the outside were lines of carriages and automobiles, answering to their numbers. Here and there we were the victim of a surprised stare, but for all else we were in a measure lost in that shuffle of humanity. We had secured our headgear from the Japanese and had listened to the "Thank you," for the tip we gave him. IT WAS ALL OVER A few minutes later we had sought the restful solitude of our couch, and ere the clock had ticked many times, we were in the lands of dreams where the friends we had left behind and those we were to meet hovered over the sleeping form of the Negro banker from old Virginia.

A WHITE COUPLE'S DOUBLE LIFE "The Wages of Sin is Death." A white woman, who was known as Mrs. Fannie Tyler, killed herself by drinking carbolic acid and died last Monday at the City Home Hospital. C. L. Tyler, her alleged husband, was arrested for having beaten her in a frightful manoeuvre a short time before. She was covered with bruises. It seems that the new was caused by her finding him with another woman at the Bijou Theatre. Tyler is a motorman in this city. Investigation developed the fact that the woman was not the wife or Tyler, although she has been living with him as such and was buried as his wife. Her name is Mrs. Fannie Smith, and her maiden name was Miss Fannie West, and before marriage she resided in this city. What makes the fact more interesting is that C. L. Tyler has a wife living in King and Queen county. The authorities are detaining him pending the investigation. Caught by Caving Earth. The earth caved in at Eight and Main Streets last Tuesday at 1:15 P. M. and Elijah Hobson, aged 23 years, 1905 Wallace, Street, was crushed about the abdomen, his head and side bruised; his wrist mashed and otherwise injured. Blair Robinson, aged 23, who resides at 610 N. 11th Street, was hurt about the side and legs. Freeman Jones, aged 30, 1812 E. Marshall Street, was injured about the head and ankle. These colored men were working for I. J. Smith & Co., excavating for the crevasse of Stump's hotel. They were removed to the City Hospital where their injuries are being attended. It is thought that they will recover. It took about ten minutes to dig them out of the debris. Mr. John Winston, of 7 W. Jackson Street, while working at the R. F. and P. shops last Sunday morning had his fingers badly mashed and as a result is laid up. He is improving. Will Get the Church. The indications are that a colored congregation will secure possession of the Quaker Church on Clay Street, near St. James Street. The Trustees have been authorized to sell the place for ten thousand dollars. It will be necessary to make some improvements in this meeting place. Shot Her Husband Lovey Green, colored, was shot and severely injured early last Tuesday morning in Manchester, by his wife, Minnie Green, at their home on Farmer Street. The woman has been lodged in jail. Green quarreled with his wife over some act of their little child, and in his anger proceeded to chastise her. He struck her with his fist and then seized a piece of iron with which to beat her, when she secured the family pistol and shot him. The ball entered his side, passed around and lodged in the muscles of the back. Green fell under the shock, and was sent to the hospital to be operated on.

Clarence Mitchell, white, of 1018 N. 17th Street, who is a car repairer of the C. and O. R. R. Company was almost instantly killed last Tuesday afternoon, being caught under a box car on which he was working. The car was struck by a derailed train. The car passed over him. His back was broken. —Subscribe to The PLANET --- MAY SAVE DOOMED MAN'S NECK Girl Swears Condemned Man Is Incident of Murder. Wilkesbarre, Oct. 11.—Declaring that Thomas, Willis, the negro sentenced to be hanged here next Thursday for the murder of Cameron Cook, is innocent, Rosalie Williams, a young white girl, today made an affidavit which may save Willie's neck. Willis has declared all along that he was innocent and the girl has several times told his attorneys that he was not guilty, even though she has no interest in him and does not know him. Today she made the affidavit and tonight M. B. Schnerr, attorney for Willis, hurried to Harrisburg with it in the hope of inducing Governor Stuart to grant a respite. Miss Williams in her affidavit declares that she was present in Cook's barn on December 6, 1907, the night Cook was murdered, and that the only other persons there were Robert Valliee, a Frenchman, and Henry Todd, a negro, Cook's valet. She said that Vallee quartelled with Cook about loaning money and struck Cook on the head with a heavy revolver. She said that at the time of the murder Willis was not there; that she did not see him at all that night and that he is an entire stranger to her; that at the time Cook entered the barn he had already been robbed; that his trousers pocket was hanging out and that his watch was gone. Willis was arrested in Baltimore and the watch was found in his possession. This was one of the strongest clues against him. The girl adds that she has voluntarily made the statement in the hope of saving an innocent man. Otherwise she would not admit that she was a party to the cowardly killings. She says she will not sit lily by and see the law claim the life of a man who is not guilty, and she believes she has done her duty. Vallee and the girl, it is alleged were trying to get Cook to pay them money to keep silent about an alleged entanglement with the girl. AGAIN CONVICTED More Trouble in the Tartte Case Will be Tried Next Mouth Petersburg, Va., October 6, 1909. —The jury in the case of Joseph White, colored, who had been on trial for two days in the Hustings Court on the charge or assaulting Levi D. Myers, colored, with a pistol, was adjudged guilty last evening by the jury, who rendered a verdict of six months' imprisonment in jail and a fine of $100. The two men were members of opposing factions in the Harrison Street Baptist Church which have been at war for several years, and the assault is alleged to have occurred at a church meeting. White was defended by five prominent lawyers, employed by his church faction, and the court gave full instructions in the case. A motion was made for a new trial, which will be argued at the next term of the court, when Rev. E. Tartte, the pastor, is also to be tried for abetting White in the assault. AFRAID TO PUT MONEY IN BANK Sumter County Man's Silver Money Melted Into Black Mass During Fire. Americus, Ga., October 8.—(Special.)—Bearing a blackened mass of molten silver, representing the wreck and ruin of a small fortune to himself, John Fish came to Americus this afternoon to ascertain the value of his property. Fish's house was burned two nights ago and among other valuables consumed was a considerable amount of bank notes totally destroyed. The silver money was melted into an unrecognizable mass. Fish was afraid of banks and kept all his money concealed in his dwelling. A Temporary Foot Bridge There Arrangements have been made for the construction of a foot-bridge across the broken place in the Fifth Street bridge, which structure was damaged by the derailment of a heavy coal-car that damaged a span of the bridge. A Public School Teachber Gone Miss Fannie E. Augustus, a teacher at Moore School, died last Sunday 1:30 A. M., under distressing circumstances at her residence 1223 N. First Street. Her funeral took place last Tuesday afternoon, Third Street A. M. E. Church at 3 P. M. CRITICISES MR. HILL Mr. Burrows Takes Issue—Not in Favor of Judge Mann—No Democracy For Him—Will Support Neither Party Richmond, Va., Oct. 11, 1909 Mr. Editor Will you please give me space for these lines in your paper, The Richmond PLANET? I ask it because I think I deserve it. I ask it because Lawyer James H. Hayes as its representative at the time I subscribed, promised it to me at Louisa Court House in the Shiloh Convention twenty-nine years ago. From then until now, I have been a reader of The PLANET and expect to be until death. KNOWS THE WRITER I have seen the issue of October 9th, an article from Bro. J. L. Hill wants the colored people to pay back, advocates the support of Judge Mann and his party. Now, Mr. Editor, no man in this city knows Bro. Hill better than myself. For we have taught Sunday-school together in Newport, News, also preached together in the same city. He is a good fellow and a Republican from his heart, but he is like the most of our leading brethren—lost the right path. What thinking voter of color? What right thinking Republican of color can vote in the coming election for either the Democrat or the Lily White Parties? TOO LONG FOOLED I for one cannot and will not. My people have been too long fooled and mislead, for the Republican party is a thing of the past. What must we do? Must we wait until the leader rises out of the born or unborn generation and straddle the Republican horse and ride over the battlefield and lead the Republicans to war 'till the victory is ours? Yes we will. SHOULD NOT TAKE VENGEANCE We should not teach our people to take vengeance, but teach them to submit the matter in the hands of the just God, who saith in Romans, the twelfth chapter and fourteenth verse, "Bless them which persecute you; bless and curse not." In the nineteenth verse, "Dear beloved, avenge not yourself, but rather give place until wrath for it is written, vengeance is mine. I will repay saith the Lord." QUOTES MORE SCRIPTURE Again, he saith in Isaiah 49th and 26th; "I will feed them that oppress thee on thy own flesh. I will make them drunk in their blood." Let us wait, and above all have patience for David the sweet singer said, "I waited patiently for the Lord, and he heard me and delivered me out of all my troubles." Again, teach the people to wait with patience in this political conquest for it is not as dark now as 1609, and still brighter than 1861 and brighter yet than 1865. Remember that wrong triumphs but a little while, but truth is like God, eternal. WM.

Tae we 2 ile’ guns a good & TwO °c ReARainetSs Since Jack Binns electrified the world with his C Q D wire- tess call for help from the steam- ship Republic a well deserved glamour of romance has clothed the whole subject of wireless telegraphy. The play “Via Wire- less” appeared some months be- fore the Republic disaster, and, strange to relate, the very day Lieutenant Sommers, the hero of the play, was ‘sending out his wireless appeal for assistance from the yacht Irvessa, with no thought for his own safety, Jack Binns in the wireless room of the sinking Republic was dupli- cating in real life the heroic in- cident of the play. This live romance, the story of the play, has all the thrili of the Jack Binns incident, and more, for, while Binns risked his life for duty, Lieutenant Sommers risked his for “duty and for love 0, plucky Frances Durant. CHAPTER I. aus aiaebeiaiis ROM the brow of the hill abore the Durant works Lieutenant Sommers, United States navy looked over the clty of steel stretched away at his feet He saw the acres of huge bulldings, thelr hundreds of chimneys belching forth streams of blacx smoke; the long streets lined with the houses of the wprkmen and here and there figures that seemed in the distance pygmles hurrying to and fro. Faintly the roar of the furnaces, the Aistant clang of the huge hammers and the clamor of the steel came to Bim. It was a scene to stir the blood of a man who loved action. For a few min utes the naval man looked in silence: then he drew a long breath and turned to the girl at his side “And all this will be yours some day.” be said Frances Durant looked up with a amlle “Yes; It does seem quite a lot for one wee bit of a girl to have, doesn’t Mt? Rut I can depend upon dad to make some arrangements for running Mt. The steel works are his pride, you Know, and he fs golng to leave them a monument to the name of Durant.” Lieutenant Somniers half sighed. “Pinckney 1s a lucky dog.” he sald tr relevantis “Lucky dog?’ The girl arched her eyebrows as she asked the question. “Why do you say that, Mr, Sommers? 1 don't understand.” Sommers smiled at her puzzled look, though she really had a right to be puzzled, for why a man, young, strong. good looking and an ‘officer in the navy, with a medal for bravery a ready to his credit, should call another man “lucky dog” was enough to puz tle any girl of nineteen who was as pretty and independent as Frances Durant “I mean,” exclaimed Sommers, “that he's a lucky dog because any man who 4s young and the manager of a place ike this and has the prospects abeau of working throughout bis life for you must be m lucky dog. Can't you see?" The girl laughed in pleased fashion. “Very clever, Mr. Sommers, But Just now you are twice as lucky as Ned Pinckney. for the Durant steel plant is working for you, turning out the gun that ts going to make you rich and famous.” ‘The officer shook his head, smiling somewhat sadly “Famous, I bope, Miss Durant,” he said, “but not rich. Tam an officer in the navy, and whatever we navy men do, you know, belongs to Uncle Sam. He took us and licked us into shape, and he gives us our chance, and we must work for him all our lives.” “Well, anyhow, we are working for you now,” she said with satisfaction, “and from all I can hear about the ‘works your gun is going to be a mar- vel. It's something to make a gun, I ‘tell you, but it's more to Invent one. Ned Pinckney makes them—makes lots ‘of them—but you've invented one, s0 I think you are the lucky dog, not he.” Her admiration was so genuinely sincere that Sommers, against his will, had to take it seriously. “It wasn't Just that I meant, Miss Durant.” be said. “A naval officer has @ lot, I know. I thought he had every. thing in the world he could wish unti! these last few weeks, since 1 came here to superintened the casting of my gun.” “What has made you change?” she asked. ‘The man looked straight at her. “T've met you,” he said. ‘The ‘girl bit her lips, for she knew ‘Gat irritated her, So abe tossed her head oer the fashion of girls of nine teen and pretended she did not under: etand. “I don't see why that should alter matters.” she protested alrily. “I should think meeting me and meeting other people here would make yon more in love with your own free, splen- did fe.” } The mavy man shook his head, and bis smile was Just a little grit. “Perhaps it inight make me tn love Dut not with navy life.” be suzcested /“Don't you see? ‘The navy ts wonder ful. The life is the finest on earth But let's suppose a little from the other side, and then you'll understand why I sald Ned Pinckney’s a lucky dog.” Yes" “Suppose a man ts young and good looking and clever and the manager of a great plant like your fathers, and suppose he’s tn love with you.” "Ht seems to me that you're @ great supposer,” laughed the giri He nodded, “That's about all I can be—a sup- poser. Supposing is just about as far as a naval ileutenant can ever go with the daughter of a steel millionaire.” ‘The giri shook her head angrily. “Seems to me,” she declared, “that naval Heutenants are very curer peo- ple even If they do wear medals for bravery.” ‘Then, with one of her quick changes of mood, she looked up at ‘him most innocently. “Did you do much supposing, Mr, Sommers, when you plunged into the sea from the deck of your ship that winter's night to save an ordinary sailor?" —lnvoluntarlly the man stepped to- ward her, bis arms half outstretched. She did not move, but be stopped him- self with an effort, dropping his arms. “That plunge was nothing to one Td like to take.” he said. ‘The girl looked up at bim, challenge in her eyes. “Why don't you, then, Mr. Sommers?

In the minds of thelr friends it woul have strafghtened out an awkward situation. Under present circumstances their friends did not know just how to take them. For more than a year it had been generally understood they would some time marry, but the meni bers of the set in which they mored had waited anxiously, but in vain, for some definite sign. It was generally taken for granted that Mr, Durant dic | not object, and Mrs. Durant was open. ly in favor of the match. | “Frances berself was the stumbling block. Time after time her intimates tried to find out, but each time, wit perfect good humor, but with complete thoroughness, she blocked every at tempt. Finally, their curiosity block ed. the solicitous friends bad decided to take the situation for granted, anc fo they had with perfect faith sprea¢ the report that as soon as Frances bac reached her majority the couple wers to be married. Even the people abou the steel works had come to look a the matter in the same Hight. The men understood that the general man ager was some day golng to marry the daughter of the boss, and thal made them treat him with more re spect, for not only was he the mana ger, with power greater than most su pervising managers had, but he wa: also expected to own the works som day himself. Pinckney, too, was particularly care ful not to contradict the general im pression. He knew the Influence | gave him, and also he was so tremen dously ambitious and so anxious t bring the marriage about that he reall; believed 1t would be.

His future was too obvious for him not to tee the plain and easy way, He would enter the steel works, apply. bimself to business, earn the commendation and then the respect and confidence of bis employer and so finally pave the way for marrying Frances and in. heriting the business through her. To the scheming bey this seemed a simple plan, especially as he had so easily and quickly won Mra. Durant over to hig site.

In cach new position he made good, and Durant more than ever congratulated himself on his fore sight in taking up the orphan son of his friend. But Pinekney’s love affair had not Progressed so rapidly. Frances was glad of his success, but somehow be had ceased to be so interested in the man as she had been when a girl By the time sLe was seventeen all th glamour bad worn off. Instead of tuk ing him in a sentimental way she hac begun in her own mind to look on him as a sort of big brother. Pinckney ald not know this. He felt that he wa: | not coming ahead as fast as be had ‘hoped, but he feit that there was time expecially as bis hold on the rest of | the family increased daily.

There was an other gua. the “Rhinestrom gun,” In which Pinckney had more than a cas. ual Interest. but business demanded that the government work be accept ed. promptly. | One week after the notice from Weshington Lieutenant Sommers ap- peared, and then Pinckney’s troubles really began. | From the motuent of thelr frst meet ing Frances Durant and Lieutenant Sommers had seemed mutually drawt to each other. To each the other wa: an entirely new type. Frances had never meta man just like the young naval Heutenant. Up to that time her experience bad been with men Like Pinckney, who thought apparently on!3 of business and getting ahead, or witt young mep of the opposite extreme Who went in entirely for society and dissipation of all kinds. Sommers accordingly came as a new and very refreshing experience. He apparentiy hnd all the best qualities of the two kinds of men she had known before. He was young, goot looking, brave, and that he had brains was proved by bis invention of the Sommers gun, which the government had accepted provisionally and. whicl was to be cast in the Durant stee works. Then, also, to the glamour o: his uniform and bis reputation the young naval officer brought the charn of @ cultured man of the world. He had been everywhere and seen prac tically all there was for a man to see and, unlike many men of his profes sion, he could talk about it, and talk well. So it was no wonder that the ; cd u of > 7 sai O girl almost Immediately felt herself drawn to bim. ‘They bad so many in terests in common, She knew ma jchinery and knew ail about the works and he was up In that too. ‘Thea he drove, walked, played tennis, danced and golfed better than any one she knew In Pittsburg. So it was no won der that from the time of Sommers’ arrival Pinckney found himself put aside. For a week the manager of the steel works did not notice the fast growing friendship. He was very busy und had little time for outside {nterests ‘Then, also, he felt so confident that he did not pay as much attention to Frances and what she was doing as he might have had he Imagined there was the slightest chance of serious rivalry That idea at first did not enter, his head. Compared to his own position he considered the post of a Heutenant in the navy Insignificant. It was not until a week had gone by and he dis covered that Frances had been out with the officer for several hours each day that he finally awoke to the dan: ger of the situation from his point of view. —Then his first move was fool ish. “He asked Frances to go to the theater with bim that night. “Lam awfully sorry, Edward,” she told him; “but, you see, Mr. Sommers and I are going tonight to that play But I am sure he would be glad to have you come along. I'll get one of the girls, and we will make up a party.” “No, thanks,” the man _ retorted shortly. “I don’t care anything for the theater, you know. 1 only asked because I thought you might wish tw see the play.” She smiled on him sweetly. “I know how self sacrificing you are, Edward, about the theater; but, you see, you need not bother while Mr. Sommers is here. You have been aw: fully good to me about it, but now you can have a long rest, because, you see, he is devoted to it, and he says he gets ashore so seldom that he likes to go at every opportunity. Isn't that nice for you?” “Of course that is all right, Frances,” he agreed s'Iffty, “but any time you de wish to go ‘t will be a great pleasure for me to take you. If i were you ! ‘would not go out too much with this naval whippersnapper.

And then, Edward, dear. even yon might be practically penrt- less If fathor had not started you." And, smiting, she left him with bis Jaw set tight and every nerve muscle quivering with anger. “Penniless.” he muttered at last. “A man who itvents guns as good as a man who merely makes them.

Upon reach Ing them he immediately seut for Wit Ham Marsh, the head draughtsman. William Marsh had been with the Durant works since early manhood. His whole life was weapped up in the place. Unceasing application had rals- ed him to bis present responsible and arduous position; but, ke many ap other man who gives his life unresere- edly to one concern, he had come to find bimself In the end {il repaid. ‘To make matters worse his duly child, a bright, promising young fellow of twenty, bad died as the result of a ter tible accident in the chemical room, ‘aud the father could not help belleving that had Pinckney used proper discre- tion In selecting the boss of the work tue accident might not have occurred. | All this bad tended toward a breach ‘between them, only Pinckney was one who cared Hitle for breaches with his employees.

Partie: ularly Marsh, fifty years old, spare physically weak and essentially a dreamer, tn love with his own work, was little fitted to cope with the trop “willed manager. Pinckney was still fuming when the head draughtsman arrived. “Marsh,” he said shortly, “I have de- cided definitely to push the Rhinestrom gun 1 belleve it's a great gun and will prove very effective.”” “Ive all of that" returned the Graughtsman shortly. “1 think $0," agreed the manager, ‘and we must burry the work along a8 fast as possible. Ry the way, what do you think of this new gun—the Sommers gun that this dendified naval Neutenant is bere to have cast?* Marsh did uot know how eagerly the manager was listening for bis reply. He paused judicially a moment, then said besitatingly: “I'm sorry, Mr. Pinckney, but from what 1 can make out ft will make a pretty good weapon. ‘The fellow has hit on something new, and It may prove a wonder. Either very good. of rotten, that i the way I size {t up.” “You mean from the principle on which It is constructed It will either prove a winner or burst and kill a Jot of people?" questioned the mana- ger cautiously. “Exactly.” agreed Marsh, “and it will bave to be very carefully made or it will burst for sure. We don't want that” “Then you do not think It Is as good a gun as the Rbinestrom gun?’ sug: gested Pinckney. A dull flush rose in Marsh's paie cheeks. His whole body quivered. It was the anger of a parent whose child had been attacked. “There isn't any gun as good as the Rhinestrom gun," he erled hotly. “I invented It and’ 1 know, and, what's more, while we are on the subject, I want to tell sou that 1 think you are doing me s dirty injustice. I have put the best part of my life on that gun, and sou bave patented it and put a Dutch name on it, and 1 don't get a cent or any credit.” Pinckney jumped from bis chair, bis own face red with anger. “Look here, Marsh.” he cried, “Just a little more like that and I'll fire you out of these works! Who do you think you are? Don't you know that we have been paying you a salary fo years for your time and your brains We did not pay you for your looks Yl put the name Rhinestrom on that gun or any name I please, and 1f you don't lke It you can get out. ‘There are plenty of men who would be giad to have your job.” But for once the weaker man would not be cowed. “All right.” he erled, “Tl get cut ‘There are other places to work, and ee ee ae ee ae Seen Do ih what’ more, ax soon as Mr. Durant gets back from Europe Tl go to hiss and lay the Se 1 was @ fool not to tell bint my plans in the first place Instead of coming to you. 1 ought to have knowm what t would get from you.

Pinckney hesitated. His inclination was to throw Marsb out, but an idea. born of a girl's taunting, was tn his mind, and he felt he must temporize It was bitter to surrender to an em- ‘ployee. but Pinckney was a man who Would submit to avy number of minor defeats for a big end So he forced the best smile he could and held out bis hand “Forgive me.

Apropos of examinations and their terrors, the secretary of the department of education of New York told at a dinner an odd story of a young African prince. "This prince," said the secretary, "entered Yale or Harvard—I forget which—and amused himself with motorcars and bulldogs till examination time drew near. Examination time frightened the young prince horribly. He began to study, and he cabled home to the king his father: "Examination next week. Most difficult. Impire aid of gods in my behalf." "A few days later this reply came back from the barbarous west coast monarch: "Rites performed. Fourteen picked youths, all sons of nobles, have been sacrificed. Omens propitious." "Yet, would you believe it," the secretary concluded, "the young prince flunked." One Soul. Could any little lamp, though lifted high, Lighten the void abysses of the sky? Could a faint rose leaf blown into the sea Perfume the oceans of immensity? Could one chord sound in melody so far That all space echoed to the farthest star?

Jock and Annie were to get married, and she had conided to him that her age was twenty. After the ceremony and festivities were over they both went home and retired for the night. Annie's mother resided next door and, being up early the following morning, thought she would give the happy couple a "rap up." On the way to their door she suddenly remembered it was Annie's birthday. Knocking loudly at the door, she hawled out: "Come away, Annie! Get up! Ye ken ye're thirty the day." Jock, who was to hear the voice, astonished his mother-in-law by shouting: "For guidance' sake, get up, Annie, for we've sleepen ten years." A. Mean Trick: A lawyer in a London court, defending a promissory note, went to lunch, leaving his books and citations on the table in the courtroom. The opposing counsel sneaked back into the room and changed the places of all his bookmarks. In the afternoon the lawyer, taking up his books, referred the court to his authorities. His lordship noted every volume and page carefully and took the case under consideration. In rendering his opinion he said: "I was inclined after hearing argument of counsel for defendant to nonsuit plaintiff, but I find after referring to the authorities quoted by counsel none of them bear on this case, and I am led to think that the gentleman has been wilfully trying to insult the court. He has referred me to an action of an Irishman who sued the proprietor of a monkey for damages for biting him, to a case of arson, one of burglary, two of petty larceny and three divorce cases, none of which bears on an action to recover on a promissory note. Perhaps the grossest insult to the court is referring to 'Duckworth versus Boozyman,' an action charging defendant with breach of promise. Judgment for plaintiff with costs." The lawyer never knew what the matter was and to this day thinks the judge was out of his mind. The Finisher On board one of England's warships a marine who had said he was by trade a piano finisher was employed with the carpenter's crew. One day the carpenter was sent for and asked if he could repair a hole in the veneer of the wardroom piano, which had been burnt by an officer laying down on it a lighted cigar. Of course he recommended the said marine, who was at once sent for. Somehow, however, work did not seem to progress, and being taxed with the delay, Joe said: "But this job is not in my line, sir." "Not in your line?" was the reply. "But you said you were a piano finisher." "Yes, so I was, sir," said he, "but the very last job on the piano is the taking of it home." The Way to Happiness.

The Poet's Retort Joaquin Miller was once overtaken by a countryman, who gave him a long ride. Tired at length of conversation, the poet took a novel from his pocket. "What are you reading?" said the countryman. "A novel of Bret Harte's," said Mr. Miller. "Well, now, I don't see how an immortal being wants to be wasting his time with such stuff." "Are you quite sure?" said the poet. "that I am an immortal being?" "Of course you are." "If that is the case," responded Miller. "I don't see why I need be so very economical of my time." THE SPORTING WORLD THE SPORTING WORLD Bush a Sensation. When one is sizing up the real star and of the baseball season of 1909 it would be well to look carefully over the record of Ownie Bush, the sensational little shortstop of the Detroit Americans. Since his debut into fast company Bush has played a sensation- D al game. In fact, Manager Jennings is of the opinion that in a year or two Ownie will be the leading shortstop on Ban Johnson's circuit. He is sure to improve in every respect and if no untimely accident befalls him will make an impermissible name for himself as a great shortstop. The Tigers obtained Bush from Indianapolis last fall. Hines' Triple Play. Although record books dispute the triple play made by Paul Hines of the Providence club in a game with the Bostons in Providence, R. I., May 8, 1878, there is no doubt, in view of the evidence of eyewitnesses like T. H. Murnane, George Wright and Jack Manning, who were players in the game, that Hines made the play. The play was so extraordinary that the official scorer failed to record it properly, and that fact led the late Henry Chadwick to dispute it. The bases were full at the time, and, with the infelders playing in, the Boston batsman hit a Texas leaguer which every one, including the base runners, felt sure was safe. The men on third and second ran home, and the man on first was almost down to third when Hines made a wonderful catch. He ran to third and by touching the base doubled up the two runners who had gone home. There the real play ended, but Sweeney of Providence, seeing a base runner trying to get back to second, called to Hines to throw to him, and this fact led to the confusion of the official scorer. It was of course wholly unnecessary to throw to Sweeney. To Send Tr ters Abroad. The trotting horse exhibitions given by C. K. G. Billings in Russia have already had their effect, and recently four great trotting stallions were shipped from New York to the Imperial Trotting club of Russia at Moscow. With them went six brood mares belonging to the Russian government which were sent to this country several weeks ago to be bred to Peter the Great, the great Kentucky sire. Russia made several efforts to purchase Peter the Great and recently offered $75,000 for him, but he was not for sale. The horses that went abroad were Horace Wilson, $2.40\%$ a nine-year-old trotting stallion, by Onward, dam Georgia S., by Nutwood; Might A., two-year-old bay colt, by Mighty Onward, dam Margaret A.

The Waste of Baseballs It may possibly look undignified for the owner of a big league club to prosecute patrons who insist on keeping balls fouled into the stands, but the fans who decide the efforts of park policemen to recover these balls have no idea what it costs to furnish this ammunition. In one of the games recently played by Pittsburg the loss amounted to $42.50, as thirty-four balls were lost. No business man would stand for such a "leakage" as this every day without making some effort to stop it, and that is why the club owners insist on the return of these balls. It's a queer thing that men who would be insulted if taxed with dishonesty and who would not stoop to petty larceny will steal a baseball and then perjure themselves to keep it.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA The Conquest By Dr. FREDERICK A. COOK Copyright, 1909, by the New York Herald Company, Registered In Canada In Accordance With Copyright Act. Copyright In Mexico Under Laws of the Republic of Mexico. All Rights Reserved WE awoke off Cape Robertson and went ashore before breakfast. The coast here rises suddenly to an altitude of 2,000 feet and is crowned with an ice cap. It is picturesque enough. Large bays, blue glacial walls and prominent headlands offer a pleasing variety, but it is much like the coast of all Greenland. It had, however, the tremendous advantages of a southern exposure and rocks, providing a resting place for the little auk in millions. These little birds darted from the cliff to the sea. Rather rich grassy verdure also offered an oasis for the arctic hare, while the blue fox found life easy here, for he could fill his winter den with fat feathered creatures. As we approached the shore 10 men, 9 women, 31 children and 100 dogs came out to meet us. I count the children and dogs, for they are equally important in Eskimo economy. The latter are by far the most important to the average Caucasian in the arctic. Only small game had fallen to the Eskimos' lot, but they were eager to venture out with us after big game. At last Mr. Bradley had found a suitable retinue of native guides, and we were not long in arranging a compact. Free passage, the good graces of the cook and a knife each were to be their pay. A caribou hunt was not sufficiently novel to merit a return to Olrick's Bay, where intelligent effort is always rewarded, but it was heped we might get a bunt at Kookaan, near the head of Robertson Bay. Setting Sail For Etah. This venture, however, failed, though it gave us an interesting chase about dangerous waters in a violent gale. We returned to the igloo to do homing, paid off our guides, and made presents to their women and children and set sail for Etah. Clearing weather after the storm afforded delightful yachting weather. A fairly strong offshore wind filled the big wings of canvas. The cool air was bracing, while the bright sun threw glittering smiles from slant to slant. The seamen forward sang of the delights of fisher folk. A phonograph sent music, classical and otherwise, into the arctic air from the cabins. At table there was a kind of continuous performance with a steady hand and receptive stomach. During two-days of stormy discomfort several important meals had been willingly missed. But in the arctic food accounts must be squared as quickly as possible. On the following morning we passed Cape Alexander and entered Smith sound. Half a gale came from the sea, and we entered Foulke flord. The town of Etah was composed of four tents, which for this season had been pitched beside a small stream just inside of the first projecting point on the north shores. Inside this point there was sheltered water to land the Eskimos' kayaks. It also made a good harbor for the yacht. It is possible in favorable seasons to push through Smith sound. A. B. JOHN R. BRADLEY, BACKER OF DR. COOK, over Kane basin, into Kennedy channel, but the experiment is always at the risk of the vessel. There was no special reason for us to hazard life; therefore the yacht was here prepared for the return voyage. This was to consume several days, and we sought to occupy the time in exploration and sport. Much Game at Etah. The vicinity of Etah is notable as the stamping ground of Dr. Kane and Dr. Hayes in the middle of the last century. There were no unexplored spots in the neighborhood, but there was a good deal of game near. Far beyond, along the inland ice, were caribou, but we preferred to confine our exploration to the seashore. The bay waters were alive with elder ducks and guillemots, while just outside walrus dared us to venture on an open contest on the wind swept seas. After ambitions for the chase and local exploration were satisfied we were told that the people of Annootok, twenty-five miles to the north, would be glad to see us. Here was the chance to arrange a jaunt in the motorboat. The tanks were filled, suitable food and camp equipment were loaded, and off we started on the morning of Aug. 21 for man's ultima Thule. It was a beautiful day, with a light air from the sea. Passing inside of Littleton island, we searched for rels along Lifeboat cove. The desolate ```markdown ``` of the Pole Ready For the Dash to the World's I thestest North---Expedition Well Planned and Equipped [SECOND ARTICLE] cliffs of Cape Hatherton were a blaze of color and light, but the sea was refreshingly cool, with feets of blue towering bergs to dispel the fire of arctic midsummer. As we rushed in comfort past the ice polished and wind swept headlands the sea was alive with birds, seal and walrus, but little shooting was done, for we were bent on enjoying the quiet sport of motorboating. Arrival at Annoetok. As we passed the sharp rocks of Calrna Point we located nine tents in a small bay under Care Inglefield. "Look—there is an mootook" said Tungan, our native guide. Looking up Smith sound, we noted that the entire channel beyond was blocked with a jam of hard blue ice. The northernmost limit of motorboating had been reached. A perpendicular cliff served as a pier to which to fasten the boat. Here it could rise and fall with the tide, and the drifting ice did not give much trouble. A diligent exploration of the town disclosed the fact that we had reached not only the northernmost town, but the most prosperous settlement of the Greenland shore. The best hunters had gathered here for the winter bear hunt. Their game catch had been very lucky. Immense catches of meat were strewn along the shore. More than a hundred dogs voiced the hunt force, with which Eskimo prosperity is measured, and twelve long hairied wild men came out to meet us as friends. The wealth in food and furs of this place fixed my determination on this spot as a base for the polar dash. We were standing at a point within 700 miles of the pole. The strongest force of men, the best teams of dogs and an unlimited supply of food, combined with the equipment on board the yacht, formed an ideal plant from which to work out the campaign. The seeming hopelessness of the task had a kind of weird fascination for me. Many years of schooling in both polar zones and in mountaineering would serve a useful purpose. Conditions Right For Dash: Here was my chance. Here was everything necessary conveniently placed within the polar gateway. The problem was discussed with my colleague, Mr. Bradley generously volunteered to land from the yacht the food, fuel and other supplies we had provided for local use. There was abundant trading material to serve as money. My own equipment aboard for sledge traveling could be made to serve every purpose in the enterprise. The possible combination left absolutely nothing to be desired to insure success. Only good health, endurable weather and workable ice were necessary. The expenditure of a million dollars could not have placed an expedition at a better advantage. The opportunity was too good to be lost. We therefore returned to Etah to prepare for the quest. Strong efforts had been made to reach the pole from every available quarter. Only the angle between Alaska and Greenland had been left untried. In our prospective venture we aimed to pierce this area of the globe. If we failed in our main effort we would at least make a track over a blank spot. With the resources for transportation which the Eskimos offered I hoped to carry ample supplies over Ellesmere Land and along the west coast of the game land. There was reason to suppose that we would avoid the troublesome pack agitated by the Greenland currents. The Eskimos were willing to trust to the game resources of this region to feed and fire the expedition en route to the land's end. Splendid Advantages Offered If their faith proved correct, it offered me a series of advantages denied to every other leader of polar expeditions, for the movement would not only be supplied at the expense of the land which it explored, but men and dogs would be taken to the battleground in superb training, with their vigorous bodies nourished by wholesome fresh meat, not the nauseating laboratory stuff which is usually crowded into the unwilling stomach. Furthermore, it afforded me a chance to test every article of equipment in actual field work, and, above all, after a hard campaign of this kind I could select with some chance of success the most likely winners for the final race over the circumpolar sea. A compact was made with the little men of the farthest north to push the venture into the boreal center. When it was noised about at Ethah that preparations were in progress to try for the pole most of the men on board the yacht volunteered to serve. Captain Bartlett, skipper of the John R. Bradley, said that he also would like to stay; but, if compelled to return, he required at least a cook and an engineer to take the yacht back to Newfoundland. The situation was eased when the captain was told that but one man was wanted. No group of white men could possibly match the Eskimo in his own element. The willing hands of a tribe of 250 people were at my disposal. More help was not required. But a companion and a general overseer was in demand for this post. Rudolph Francke was selected. Annootok was to be the base of operations. But there is no harbor near this village to facilitate a rapid landing of supplies, and to hasten the departure of the yacht on her homeward run everything for the polar campaign was [Painting of a woman] AN ESKIMO BELLE brought on deck while the vessel was still at anchor in Etah, and below all was prepared for the expected storms of the return voyage. Starting For Annotek. Late in the evening of Sept. 1 the entire village of Etah was taken aboard, the anchor was tripped, and soon the Bradley's bow put out on the waters of Smith sound for Annootok. The night was cold and clear, brightened by the charm of color. The sun had just begun to dip under the northern horizon, which marks the end of the summer double days of splendor and begins the period of storms leading into the long night. Early in the morning we were off Annootok. The weather was now changed. A strong wind came from the sea. With shallow water, unknown rocks and much ice drifting about no comfortable berth could be found for the yacht. If the overloaded decks were to be cleared at all it must be done quickly. The launch and all the dories were lowered and filled. Eskimo boats were pressed into service and loaded. The boats were towed ashore. Only a few reached Annootok itself, for the wind increased and a troublesome sea made haste a matter of great importance. Things were pitched ashore anywhere on the rocks where a landing could be found for the boats. The splendid efficiency of the launch proved equal to the emergency, and in the course of about three hours all was safely put on shore in spite of threatening winds and forbidding seas. Supplies Taken by Dr. Cook Following is the complete list of the supplies provided from John R. Bradley's yacht for the polar dash of Dr. Frederick A. Cook: Eleven cases of flour, twenty cases cornmeal, six barrels cornmeal, thirty-nine cases biscuits, twelve barrels biscuits, four cases rice. One case smoked corned beef, four cases pork and beans, eight cases ham, five cases bacon, fifteen cases pemulcan, one case beef tongue, two cases codfish. One case peas, sixteen cases beans, two cases potatoes. Twenty-one cases sugar, six cases tea, ten cases coffee. Four cases milk, one case eating butter, one tub butter for cooking, one tub lard. One case soups, one case catchup, one case pepper, spices, horseradish, etc.; one case vinegar, pickles, mustard, etc. One case assorted jams and fruits, one case strawberry juice for drinking, one case salt, one case raisins and currants, one case maple slurp, one case dried peaches. Nine cases tobacco, one case washing and baking powder. Seven cases matches, seventeen cases coal oil, 115 gallons alcohol, one case candles, 118 bags coal, four stoves, two alcohol stoves, lamps. One canvas boat, one case rifles, 2,000 rounds ammunition, one Winchester rifle, 1,000 rounds ammunition, one thermos bottle. Two pairs shoes, complete cooking outfit, hickory wood for fifteen sleds, iron, copper, nails and screws. Bedding, sleeping bags, one silk tent. One box tools for ironwork, one box carpenters' tools, one pair fieldglasses, one camera, with plates. Two dorles with ours, one dozen panes of glass for windows, fifty feet stovepipe, three chairs. Twelve fox traps, one keg black powder, one box books, 200 tn boxes with wood outside. Wood for building house, rope, twine, charts, maps, instruments, compasses, knives and needles for trading with natives. Old Hair Men. There are few bearded men in China. Men who have grandchildren may wear a mustache, and many take advantage of the privilege and are called "old hair men." Work of the Bees It is not for the honey alone that bees are valuable, for they play an important part in the raising of fruit crops. There they perform the function of pollination and thus help to increase the apple crop. The Sicilian Woman The Sicilian woman is generally illiterate and is proud of being so. In native parlance, such a one "sees with two eyes only." Those who can read are said to see with four eyes. Bows and Arrows. It is impossible to say when the bow was invented. It was in use long ages before there was any such thing as authentic history, and its reign was a long one. As a warlike weapon the bow lasted on in Europe all through the middle ages and well down into modern times. One of the amazing sights of the allied invasions of France in the year 1814 was that of the Cossack cavalry of Russia riding through the streets of Paris with bows and arrows.

ONLY ONE HOPE REMAINS Unless United States Supreme Court Grants Writ of Certioriar and Reverses Case He Must Serve His Sentence. Unless the supreme court of the United States reverses the decision or the president of the United States interferes, Charlie W. Morse, one time "Ice King," coastwise steamship line organizer, banker and captain, will serve fifteen years at hard labor in the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga. After having been at liberty under $125, 600 bail since June 17 last, he is back in the Tombs prison, where he contemplates the decision of the United States circuit court of appeals in New York, sustaining the judgment of the lower federal court, which found him guilty in November last of violating the national banking laws. There was soilace in the decision of the court of appeals, however, in that only ten of the fifty-three indictments on which he was convicted were sustained, and on the strength of this his counsel, Martin W. Littleton, will immediately carry the case before the United States supreme court on a writ of certiorari. To this end the United States court of appeals has granted a forty days' stay of execution, and pending a decision by the supreme court application will be made to have the prisoner again admitted to bail. Morse took the decision calmly, although he was plainly grief stricken and perhaps surprised. Verdict Sustained by Proof. In rendering its decision the United States court circuit of appeals said: "We fully realize the consequences to the defendant which must follow an affirmance of this judgment, and yet we cannot doubt that he was given a fair trial, and the verdict on the fourteen counts was amply sustained by the proof. No unprejudiced person can read the record without being convinced that by the defendant's procurement the bank (National Bank of North America) bought its own stock and the stock of the ice securities company, and by his procurement the entries in the bank book and in the reports of the comproller as to these transactions were so arranged as to OF RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. conceal the truth and to record trans actions which in reality never took place." Farmer Slain In Cornfield. Farmer Stain in Cornfield. "Look, somebody has knocked down papa's scarecrow. Wait till I go over and set it up," exclaimed Miss Maude Heufnagle to a companion as the two girls were walking along a path through a cornfield on their way to church at Paris, near Washington, Pa. A moment later scream after scream from the young woman drew her companion to the spot. She found Miss Heufnagle stretched in a dead faint beside the body of her father, which the daughter had at first taken for the scarecrow. The finding of the corpse revealed one of the most shocking and mysterious murders in the history of this section. Charles Heufnagle's body, found in the fence corner, was literally hacked to pieces by his slayers. Decomposition had already set in, and it is the belief of the officers now at work on the puzzling murder that the farmer had been dead for at least a week. Heufnagle is known to have had large sums of money and some valuable papers in his clothing, and these are missing, indicating robbery as the motive for the crime. Arrested While Embracing Dead Wife. Charged with murdering his wife in a fit of jealous rage, William Fisher, fifty years of age, was arrested in Philadelphia. He was embracing the body of the dead woman when he was taken into custody in the room they had occupied. Fisher, who was a painter by trade, speaks nothing but German and refuses to make any statement. According to other occupants of the house, he had frequent quarrels with his wife, who was about fifteen years his junior, and of whom he was insanely jealous. A shot was heard and he appeared at a neighbor's room and is alleged to have said: "Fix this thing for me. I have killed my wife and now I want to kill myself." The hammer of the revolver had failed to work after the first shot. The startled neighbor, under pretense of getting a tool to fix the revolver, went out and informed the police. Accused of Trying to Poison Family. Charged with attempting to poison his mother-in-law, Mrs. Annie Stetzer, of Laurelton, near Mifflinburg, Pa., and her entire family by placing arsenic in medicine and flour which they used, Jacob Baughman, aged thirty-five, of Cass, W.

Shortly after his departure members of the family who partook of some medicine became violently slick. Others of the family and some neighbors who ate some bread baked with flour that was in the house during Baughman's visit also became ill with symptoms which indicated arsenical poisoning. Negress Had Lost White Child. Marguerite Fink, the white child rescued almost from the grave and cared for during the last four years by Mrs. Marie Fink, a negress, in Denver, Col., has been given into the custody of her mother, Mrs. Charles Backoff, of Chicago. Mrs. Backoff arrived in Denver Sunday after learning that the child whom she had mourned as dead since the time of birth was alive and had grown into a healthy, beautiful little girl. When Judge Lindsey, in the juvenile court, gave his decision little Marguerite screamed and begged to be allowed to stay with the colored woman. The mother is given custody of the child only as guardian and must pay the negress $500 as recompense for the baby's keep. Woman Arrested as Common Scold. The charve of being a common scold has been made against Mrs. Susanna Suraton, of Higgins Corners, near Butler, Pa., arrested on information made by Mrs. Maria Kohler, a neighbor. It is alleged that Mrs. Suraton utterers harsh and provoking words about her neighbors in the little town. Mrs. Kohler complains that the woman spends her time nagging, faultfinding and trouble making. A score of women, it is claimed, will appear against the alleged scold to insist that she be punished. Salaries of Chicago Officials to Be Cut A cut of 10 per cent in salaries of all officials and employees of Chicago, from Mayor Busse's $18,000 down to the lowliest laborer, has been agreed upon by the mayor and department heads, it was learned, for next year. This drastic measure was made necessary by the simple fact that Chicago has not money enough to maintain the payroll at its normal level. The payroll last year approximated $15,000,000. The cut before becoming effective must be sanctioned by the city council, where a big fight against it is expected. Took a Nap on Fresh Cement After storing under his belt a large, sleepy jag, Harvey Jones found that it was bigger than he could conveniently carry, so he flopped down on one of the newlylaid cement sidewalks in Cashton, Wis., and went to sleep. The next monning he awoke, but failed to get up. The town marshal tried to take him to the village lockup, but failed. Finally his clothing was cut from him and he was able once more to stand The last seen of him he was headed due south in a kerosene barrel. Record Price For Hops. The hop growers in central New York are obtaining almost unheard-of prices for this year's crop. While the hops a year ago at this time were bringing from 9 to 11 cents a pound, the growers are receiving this week from 32 to 33½ cents and some choice lots have brought 36 cents. Dealers say that never in their experience were the hops bought up so close at this time of the year. Killed While Teasing Cow. Ewing Mack was gored to death at Mobile, Ala., while teasing a cow.

The Journey Toward Rome by Sea from Malta.—Vs. 11-14. In our last lesson we saw Paul and his companions ministering to the sick in Malta, and receiving many honors from the grateful inhabitants. They had lost everything in the wreck, and were in need of many things. Early in the spring they embarked in another ship from Egypt, named the Dioscuri, or The Twin Brothers or Caster and Pollux who were the twin brothers. The First Landing was made at Syracuse, the capital of Sicily, 80 to 100 miles sail from Malta. Here they remained three days. From Syracuse they made a wide circuit, which required frequent tacking or alteration of the ship's course on account of head winds, and "by good seamanship "were able to work up to Rhegium. The Third Landing was at Puteoli, the seaport of Rome, though 150 miles away. Here they remained seven days. 11. The Journey by Land, and the Reception by the Roman Christians.—Vs. 15-22. First. From Puteoli they marched 33 miles before they reached the famous Appian Way, the great military road from Rome to southern Italy. Fifty-seven miles farther along this road they came to Appil Forum, i.e. the Market of Appius. Here the first delegation of Roman Christians met Paul and welcomed him to the city. Second. Three Taverns. (V. 15) "And The three taverns," thirteen miles beyond Appil Forum, on the Appian Way, and 30 miles from Rome. Here a second delegation met Paul and his companions. "Whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage." The words imply that Paul had been depressed in spirit. Paul Encouraged. When Paul was met and greeted by the Christians of Rome, his heart was lifted out of its depression. Reception at Rome. Paul was delivered to the authorities at Rome, but (v. 16) he "was suffered (permitted) to dwell by himself" "in his own hired house" "with a soldier that kept him." III. Paul's Life and Work at Rome. —Vs. 23-31. First. Paul's Work Through the Soldiers. The soldiers which guarded Paul were "from the imperial guard," the nower of the Roman army. Second. His Work Among the Jews. By mutual arrangement on an appointed day the Jews came to his lodging, and Paul expounded the gospel of the kingdom, (v. 23) "persuading them concerning Jesus" out of the Scriptures acknowledged by all as true. 26. "Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand." They should hear the words with the outward organs of hearing, but they would not understand the real meaning and power of the words. "And seeing ye shall see, and not perceive." 27. "Their eyes have they closed." They themselves refused to hear and see, because they were unwilling to make the change in their lives which would be required. "And should be converted," "should turn round, and go back again," as God was anxious they should. "And I should heal them," of their sin and dullness and disobedience. They did not wish to be healed. Third. His Work Among the Gentiles. 30. For "two whole years." Paul received all who came to "his own hired house." 31. "Preaching the kingdom of God," its truths revealed, its motives, its righteousness, its usefulness, its hopes, its immortal life, all of which come through the Lord Jesus Christ the everlasting Saviour, the Son of God and the Son of Man. Fourth. Work; Epistles to the Churches. Four epistles, those to Philemon, Ephesians, Colossians, and the Philippians were probably written ten during this captivity: Titus and 1 Timothy after his release, and 2 Timothy during his second imprisonment; not long before his martyrdom. After several years of effective labor, Paul was again apprehended, and brought a second time as a prisoner to Rome. Tradition places his imprisonment in the dungeon of the Mamertine prison. "This was the Bastille of the old world." Here Jugurtha, the African king who warred against Rome, starved to death (B. C. 104). The Acts were probably completed at this time. IV. The Closing Years of Paul's Life. The Acts closes with the two years of Paul's imprisonment. But it is generally believed that his death was several years later. Eusebius th. --- historian (A. D. 264-349) states the common belief of the early churches in these words: "After defending himself successfully it is currently reported that the apostle again went forth to proclaim the gospel, and afterward came to Rome a second time and was martyrred under Nero. FOR SCHOOL WEAR FOR SCHOOL WEAR SEASON'S STYLES FOR MISSES SHOW GOOD SENSE. Smart and Modish Effects May Be Done at Home with Practical Mod- The gowns which are beginning to show themselves for autumn and winter wear for girls of high school and college age are stamped pleasantly with good sense. There are no exaggerations of cut or material to take away from the youthful simplicity required for maiden garments, and here and there one sees the lines of many a foregoing season reproduced. The normal waist line is definitely with us once more, and so is the plaited skirt with plain front panel, which has long proven its usefulness and grace for walking purposes. Then there is the ancient coat sleeve which goes into the armhole with the barest suspicion of top gathering, and the skirt band that, after overskirts and before them, divided the jupe in two pieces. The semiprincess effects with jersey-like upper portion and plaited bottoms that these gowns display, are widely approved and exceedingly becoming to slight young figures. There are hints that the waistband will get tighter, but so comfortably loose are gowns still at this point that one need not fear a swift return to the old wasp waist which emphasized INN A Smart and Practical Costume. the size of the hips and was always unsuitable for young girls. Dresses cut-all-in-one for misses sometimes show almost a wrapper looseness, these giving an added sweetness to rounded young bodies, and showing often the simplest band trimmings. Misses' coats follow to a great extent the same looseness, many an odd garment, or the top jacket that goes with a jumper frock, revealing almost the same cut as the brother's top coat. It is vain to hope that the adult feminine of ultra smart taste will be guided by reason in choosing her autumn or winter hat; but let us devoutly pray that the mothers of daughters who have not reached their full growth will exercise some of their own wisdom in the matter of buying the headpiece. Reasonableness from every point governs the frock shown in the illustration, which would make an excellent classroom dress if a good, wiry serge turned out the skirt, and a pretty flannel, introducing the skirt color, formed the waist. Both pieces are in the newest designs for such garments, and both are too simple to present any terrors to the home sewer of even average gifts. Schoolgirl sweaters of genuine splendor are in red, pale blue, white and light gray, as usual, but the bottom line has descended until at times it almost comes to the knees. Classroom aprons that are altogether girlish and charming are sometimes made of black taffeta silk with a narrow edge of gaily-flowered ribbon. The same ribbons, running through the beadings, form the belt and strings of these deliciously feminine skirt protectors. The Short Redingote Evidently women quite liked the fashion of the transparent, half-length redingote that was brought out in June, for they are making it quite a feature of the midseason costumes. It is oiten in the same color as the gown, but of a different tone. Violet will be worn over a princess frock of purple; jade and linden green will be mixed; turquoise and deeper blue will be combined. Black ones are quite smart over checked white and black frocks. White ones are attractive slipped over gowns of grass green, lobster red, or turquoise blue. The fabric is invariably of chiffon cloth or mousseline de sole. It has no lining and is plaited or tucked. A few of them are worn like the long Russian jacket, with a loose girdle around the waist of soft, unboned silk. My son made four very useful bookracks from one soap box 16 inches deep, says a writer in the Boston Globe. He detached the bottom and cover, sawed the frame that was left according to the diagram(1). There were then four frames like this (2). He whittled the ends into shape (2), then sandpapered the surfaces so they were free of marks and very smooth. He next cut and flattened out tin cocoa cans, heating them in the stove till they had the appearance of iron. He cut them in strips about an inch wide, nearly pointing or rounding the ends, and fastened them on the frames with tacks or screws thus (4). The clamp goes on the end and also underneath. He finally gouged a device on the outside of each end, and stained and oiled or varnished the whole frame. We find these articles neat, durable and very useful. The Dripping Pan In the Oven—Just one very disagreeable experience, resulting from the boiling over of the juice of a baked blueberry pudding in my oil-range oven and its dripping down through the holes around the edge on the chimneys below, where it burned on instantly like enamel, was enough to teach me the wisdom of putting a dripping pan of the required size into the oven to heat and then placing the juicy article in dripping pan. If the juice would boil out, it ran over into the dripping pan. I find this device saves me much annoyance and labor. TAFFETA TO COME IN AGAIN Indications That It Will Take Former Place as Material for Petticoats. Although dress fashions must take first place in feminine minds, the petticoat cannot be altogether neglected, for it follows in the wake of the continued evolution. Soft materials, whether silks or cottons, have become the most desired for petticoats since the sheath gown first appeared. We now, however, may expect a change. The narrowest skirts will be no longer necessary and knickers will gradually go, while indications would seem to show that the petticoat of taffeta will regain first place, although for a time no stiffness will break the line of the gown and no rustling will herald the approach. The closely fitted petticoat of satin or chiffon taffeta, with adjustable lingerie ruffle, has come back, and it will be joyfully received. Some of the most beautifully embroidered and lace-incrusted ruffles are being shown for wear with skirts of this kind. They would hardly fall to prove attractive to even the most ardent admirer of the passe directoire. For those who prefer petticoats of silk without lingerie trimming there are pretty ones of messaline, sun-plaited, and tretched to smoothness around waist and hips. These are in no way bulky, but they provide just the dainty frou-frou that one naturally associates with lovely, irresistible woman. A Veil Hint. If one wants to look ugly and slovenly, let the veil stretch and hang loose under the chin. No matter how well it is adjusted everywhere else, the appearance of a woman is ruined. A seller of imported vellings gives this hint to overcome this difficulty. After the veil is smoothly pinned and fastened on the hat and nape of neck, first try to draw back the objectionable fullness and secure it with invisible hairpins. Should there still be a pendent, loose end under the chin, give it a little twist and turn it under. The veil holds smoothly in place, is much more becoming and does not come loose until the veil is removed. As this twisting usually comes in the same place, it does not stretch the lower edge of veil as much as one would suspect. Even though it does, a slight unevenness when the veil is off is much better than lack of trimness when worn. If the scar is not a very deep one it may be almost banished by gentle daily friction, but no attempt should be made to treat the scar until the tone of the part is thoroughly re-established and before using friction the place should always be bathed in warm water with a bland soap. Here is a remedy which has been used with great success on light scars: Iodine crushed small, one-eighth dram; pure olive oil, two ounces; agitate them together in a bottle until the solution is complete. Rub into the scar once a day, making the movement in a contrary direction from the scar. Just such a movement as you would employ in getting the crease out of a piece of silk. New Sleeveless Coats. The new sleeveless coat is cut out generously under the arms and the sides are held together by cords instead of bands and straps. All-over silk lace dyed the color of the costume worn with it is one of the newest. "There is a ring around the moon to-night," remarked the young man in the porch rocker. "Do you know what that means?" And as there was only one way out of it, the y m. went out that way—and bought the ring. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. TWO IDEAS OF REAL VALUE Eastern Writer Describes Bookrack of Cheap Construction—Dripping Pan in the Oven. (1) (2) (3) (4) A. Veil Hint. Remedy for a Light Scar New Sleeveless Coat Caught on the Rebound MAKING GOOD JELLY A FEW FACTS LEARNED FROM EXPERIENCE. Quantity of Sugar Allotted Is Perhaps the Most Important Point— Using the Cheaper Fruits for Foundation. By Jessica E. Resack (Director Department of Domestic Science and Art, National Corn Exposition, Omaha.) Fruits are influenced by surroundings and seasons, which makes it difficult to set certain rules which will always work out successfully. Jelly that will not jell has been the experience of most housewives. It is not a new problem nor one confined to young housekeepers. Grandmothers may say they never had trouble, but they will remember shelves where "runny jelly" and "sugar gums" were kept for family use, while the jelly which was a success was "kept for company." The formless jellies of a modern housewife would be a failure, but as grandmother never failed in anything, a like result with her would be simply "luck." In order to make up for her "luck" in jelly making, grandmother turned her attention to jams and preserves which could then, as now, be managed without difficulty. A good jelly, in addition to taste and color, must have a good texture, must be neither gummy nor sticky, and must keep its shape when turned in a dish. Experience has taught a few facts: Too much sugar will make the jelly soft, not enough will make it tough. An insufficient amount of sugar will give better results than too much. If an over allowance of sugar is used, no amount of boiling will correct this error, but if an equal amount of juice is added and the boiling continued, a good result may be obtained. With pure fruit juice, an equal amount of fruit and juice is a safe rule to follow, but if water has been added to extract the juice from the fruit care must be taken to cut down the amount of sugar used. In any event, it is a safe plan to boll the juice alone for half the length of time required for making the jelly, then add the sugar, which has been heated, and boll the balance of the time required. The whole time required for pure juice will be from 10 to 12 minutes and from 25 to 30 minutes for diluted juice. As soon as the mixture forms a sheet when dropped from a cold spoon, transfer to hot glasses. Fill these completely and set in a cold place to harden. When the jelly is well set cover with hot paraffin. This will kill all germs that may have fallen upon the surface from the air and will exclude others. Economy in jelly making is attained by using cheap fruits for the foundation and the more expensive fruits for coloring and flavoring. For instance, "apple jelly" is a good foundation. Add to this berries, plums, currants or most any fruit of which the supply is small. One little berry bush will make a long line of jelly of excellent flavor—just about as good as a pure berry jelly, when apples are used as a foundation. This is true economy in housekeeping, and where a housewife would have only a few glasses of berry jelly, a score or more may be made by using the cheap fruits for foundations. The Toilet Table Ringworms disappear when painted a few times with iodine. Repeat application if required. Bind the white of an egg over burns or scalds. It will form a coating like varnish and give instant relief. If inflammatory rheumatism is not of long standing bathe the affected parts with sweet oil and saltpeter—an ounce of the latter to a pint of oil. It is very effective. When giving castor oil take a small tumbler and squeeze into it a tablespoonful of orange juice; next pour in the oil, then add more juice. The oil will form a globule in the center of the juice and can be swallowed without being detected. Vinegar has been largely used to reduce stoutness. Its power in this regard is due to acetic acid. It succeeds at the cost of the user's health. By it the blood is impoverished and anaemia is caused. The occasional use of vinegar with food does not work harm, but where there is any tendency to anaemia it should be almost excluded from the diet. Beautiful New Silk Fabrics Among the new materials shown especially silk woven ones, there is every shade of color under the sun. The newest are deep orange shades, wonderful in glossy, soft stains and meteor crepes. There are many khaki shades, and blue, especially the shade known as Nattier blue. Besides there are ravishing gray shades from all the tones of the delicious taupe, smoke and iron, to the faint shades of pearl and oyster. For evening are delicate greens, coral and salmon pinks, and a delightful range of mauve and heliotrope.—Paris Letter to Vogue. Why Indeed. "Priests do not believe in divorce, do they?"

Witnesses Quoted Are Cook's Eskimo Boys. NATIVES LAUGH AT CLAIM. Point Out Limit of Explorer's Journey on Carefully Prepared Map. New York, October 12.—The following statement of Commander Robert E. Peary, which he submitted, together with the accompanying map, to the Peary Arctic Club in support of his contention that Dr. Cook did not reach the North Pole, is now made public for the first time. The statement and map have been copyrighted by the Peary Arctic Club. (Entered according to Act of congress, in the year 1909, by the Peary Arctic Club, in the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C.) INTRODUCTION BY PEARY Some of my reasons for saying that Dr. Cook did not go to the North Pole will be understood by those who read the following statements of the two Eskimo boys who went with him, and who told me and others of my party where he did go. Several Eskimos who started with Dr. Cook from Anoratok in February, 1908, were at Eath when I arrived there in August, 1908. They told me that Dr. Cook had with him, after they left, two Eskimo boys or young men, two sledges and some twenty dogs. The boys were 1-took-a-shoo and Ah-pel-la. I had known them from their childhood. One was about eighteen and the other about nineteen years of age. On my return from Cape Sheridan and at the very first settlement I touched (Nerke, near Cape Chalon) in August, 1900, and nine days before reaching Etah, the Eskimos told me, in a general way, where Dr. Cook had been; that he had wintered in Jones Sound and that he had told the white men at Etah that he had been a long way north, but that the boys who were with him, 1-took-a-shoo and Ah-pel-lah, said that this was not so. The Eskimos laughed at Dr. Cook's story. On reaching Etah, I talked with the Eskimos there and with the two boys and asked them to describe Dr. Cook's journey to members of my party and myself. This they did in the manner stated below. (Signed, R. E. PEARY. SIGNED STATEMENT OF PEARY, BARTLETT, MCMILLAN, BORUP AND HENSON, IN REGARD TO TESTIMONY OF COOK'S TWO ESKIMO BOYS. The two Eskimo boys, I-took-a-shoo and Ah-p-e-lah, who accompanied Dr. Cook while he was away from Anoratok in 1908 and 1909, were questioned separately and independently, and were corroborated by Panikpah, the father of one of them (I-took-a-shoo), who was personally familiar with the first third and the last third of their journey, and who said that the route for the remaining third, as shown by them, was as described to him by his son after his return with Dr. Cook. Notes of their statements were taken by several of us, and no one of us has any doubt that they told the truth. Their testimony was unshaken by cross-examination, was corroborated by other men in the tribe, and was elicited neither by threats nor promises, the two boys and their father talking of their journey and their experiences in the same way that they would talk of any hunting trip. To go more into details: One of the boys was called in, and, with a chart on the table before him, was asked to show where he had gone with Dr. Cook. This he did, pointing out with his finger on the map, but not making any marks upon it. As he went out, the other boy came in and was asked to show where he had gone with Dr. Cook. This he did, also without making any marks, and indicated the same route and the same details as did the first boy. When he was through, Panikpah, the father of I-took-a-shoo, a very intelligent man, who was in the party of Eskimos that came back from Dr. Cook from the northern end of Nansen's Strait, who is familiar as a hunter with the Jones Sound region, and who has been in Commander Peary's various expeditions for some fifteen years, came in and indicated the same localities and details as the two boys. Then the first boy was brought in again, and with a pencil he traced on the map their route, members of our party writing upon the chart where, according to the boy's statement, they had killed deer, bear, some of their dogs, seal, walrus and musk-oxen. The second boy was then called in and the two went over the chart together, the second boy suggesting some changes as noted hereafter. Finally, Pankipah, the father, was again called in to verify details of the portions of the route with which he was personally familiar. The bulk of the boys' testimony was not taken by Commander Pearl nor DR.

The accompanying map is reproduced exactly from the original submitted by Commander Peary with his official statement by which he hopes to prove that Dr. Frederick A. Cook never reached the north pole. The map purports to have been traced out in the presence of the two Eskimos who were with Dr. Cook and, according to Peary, is based upon their actual statements as to Cook's entire journey. The dotted lines in the small map in the upper left hand corner is the route which Dr. Cook says he took on his journey to and from the pole after leaving Cape Thomas Hubbard. The irregular line extending northeast from Isachsen Land is the edge of the land ice, beyond which Peary declares. Dr. Cook did not venture. In his presence, a fact that obviates any possible claim that they were awed by him. Certain questions on independent lines from the direct narrative of the Eskimo boys were suggested by Commander Peary to some of us, and were put by us to the Eskimo boys. Still later, Commander Peary asked the Eskimo boys two or three casual questions on minor points that had occurred to him. During the taking of this testimony, it developed that Dr. Cook had told these boys, as he told Mr. Whitney and Billy Pritchard, the cabin boy, that they must not tell Commander DR.

The irregular beyond which, Peary declares, Dr. Co Peary or any of us anything about their journey, and the boys stated Dr. Cook had threatened them if they should tell anything. The narrative of these Eskimos is as follows: They, with Dr. Cook, Francke and nine other Eskimos, left Anoratok, crossed Smith's Sound to Cape Sabine, slept in Commander Peary's old house in Payer Harbor, then went through Rice Struit to Buchanan Bay. After a few marches Francke and three Eskimos returned to Anoratok. Dr. Cook, with the others, then proceeded up Flagler Bay, a branch of Buchanan Bay, and crossed Ellesmere Land through the valley pass at the head of Flagler Bay, indicated by Commander Peary in 1898, and utilized by Sverdrup in 1896, to the head of Sverdrup's "Bay Flord" on the west side of Ellesmere Land. Their route then lay out through this flord, thence north through Sverdrup's "Heuerka Sound" and Nansen Strait. On their way they killed musk-oxen and bear, and made caches, arriving eventually at a point on the west side of Nansen Strait (shore of Axel Helberg Land of Sverdrup), south of Cape Thomas Hubbard. A cache was formed here and the four Eskimos did not go beyond this point. Two others, Koolootingwah and Inughto, went on one more march with Dr. Cook and the two boys, helped to build the snow igloo, then returned without sleeping. (These two Eskimos brought back a letter from Dr. Cook to Francke, dated the 17th of March. The two men rejoined the other four men who had been left behind, and the six returned to Anoratok, arriving May 7th. This information was obtained not from the two Eskimo boys, but from the six men who returned and from Francke himself, and was known to us in the summer of 1908, when the Roosevelt first arrived at Etah. The information is inserted here as supplementary to the narrative of the two boys.) After sleeping at the camp where the last two Eskimos turned back, Dr. Cook and the two boys went in a northerly or northwesterly direction with two sledges and twenty odd dogs, one more march, when they encountered rough ice and a lead of open wa- ```markdown ``` THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ter. They did not enter this rough ice, nor cross the lead, but turned west- ward or southwestward a short dis- tance and returned to Helberg Land at a point west of where they had left the cache and where the four men had turned back. Here they remained four or five sleeps, and during that time I took a shoo went back to the cache and got his gun which he had left there, and a few items of supplies. When asked why only a few supplies were taken from the cache, the boys replied that only a small amount of provisions had been used in the few days since they left the cache, and that their sledges still had all they could carry, so that they could not take more.

The which Dr. Cook says he took on his journe ar line extending northeast from Isach ook did not venture. murative thus far, Commander Feary suggested a series of questions to be put to the boys in regard to this trip from the land out and back to it. These questions and answers were as follows: Did they cross many open leads or much open water during this time? Ans. None. Did they make any caches out on the ice? Ans. No. Did they kill any bear or seal while out on the ice north of Cape Thomas Hubbard? Ans. No. Did they kill or lose any of their dogs while out on the ice? Ans. No. With how many sledges did they start? Ans. Two. How many dogs did they have? Ans. Did not remember exactly, but something over twenty. How many sledges did they have when they got back to land? Ans. Two. Did they have any provisions left on their sledges when they came back to land? Ans. Yes: the sledges still had about all they could carry, so they were able to take but a few things from the cache. From here they then went southwest along the northwest coast of Helberg Land to a point indicated on the map (Sverdrup's Cape Northwest). From here they went west across the ice, which was level and covered with snow, offering good going, to a low island which they had seen from the shore of Helberg Land at Cape Northwest. On this island they camped for one sleep. The size and position of this island, as drawn by the first boy, was criticised by the second boy as being too here and too far to the west, the second boy calling the attention of the first to the fact that the position of the island was more nearly in line with the point where they had left Helberg Land (Cape Northwest) and the channel between Amund Ringnes Land and Elliet Ringnes Land. This criticism and correction was accepted by the first boy, who started to change the position of the island, but was stopped, as Commander Peary had given instructions that no changes or erasures were to be made in the route as drawn by the Eskimos on the chart. From this island they could see two lands beyond (Sverdrup's Elfel Ring) nies and Amund Ringes Lands) From the island they journeyed toward the left hand one of these two lands (Amund Ringes Lands) poss!

The map pur- ure with Dr. Cook and, according to the dotted lines in the small map in the way to and from the pole after leaving Land is the edge of the land ice. a small island which they did not visit. Arriving at the shore of Amund Ringnes Land, the Eskimos killed a deer as indicated on the chart. The above italicised portion of the statement of the Eskimo boys covers the period of time in which Dr. Cook claims to have gone to the Pole and back, and the entire time during which he could possibly have made any attempts to go to it. The answers of the Eskimo boys to Commander Peary's series of independent questions, showing that they killed no game, made no caches, lost no dogs, and returned to the land with loaded sledges, makes their attainment of the Pole on the trip. North of Cape Thomas Hubbard a physical and mathematical impossibility, as it would demand the subsistence of three men and over twenty dogs during a journey of ten hundred and forty geographical miles on less than two sledge loads of supplies. If it is suggested that perhaps Dr. Cook got mixed and that he reached the Pole, or thought he did, between the time of leaving the northwest coast of Heilberg Land at Cape Northwest, and his arrival at Ringnes Land, where they killed the deer, we must then add to the date of Dr. Cook's letter of March 17th, at or near Cape Thomas Hubbard, the subsequent four or five sleeps at that point, and the number of days required to march from Cape Thomas Hubbard to Cape Northwest (a distance of some sixty nautical miles), which would advance his date of departure from the land to at least the 25th of March, and be prepared to accept the claim that Dr Cook went from Cape Northwest (about latitude eighty and a half degrees North) to the Pole, a distance of five hundred and seventy geographical miles, in twenty-seven days. After killing the deer they then travelled south along the east side of Ringes Land to the point indicated on the chart, where they killed another deer. They then went east across the south part of Crown Prince Gustav Sea to the south end of Helberg Land, then down through Norwegian Bay, where they secured some bears, but not until after they had killed some of their dogs, to the east side of Graham Island; then eastward to the little bay marked "Eld's Flord" on Sverdrup's chart; then southwest to Hell's Gate and Simmon's Peninsula. Here for the first time during the entire journey, except as already noted off Cape Thomas H. Hubbard, they encountered open water. On this point the boys were clear, emphatic, and unshakable. They spent a good deal of time in this region, and finally abandoned their dogs and one sledge, took to their boat, crossed Hell's Gate to North Kent, up into Norfolk Inlet, then back along the north coast of Colin Archer Peninsula to Cape Vera, where they obtained fresh elder duck eggs. Here they cut the remaining sledge off, that is shortened it, as it was awkward to transport with the boat, and near here they killed a walrus. The statement in regard to the fresh elder duck eggs permits the approximate determination of the date at this time as about the first of July. (This statement also serves, if indeed anything more than the inherent straight-forwardness and detail of their narrative were needed, to substantiate the accuracy and truthfulness of the boys' statement. This locality of Cape Vera is mentioned in Swerdrup's narrative as the place where during his stay in that region he obtained elder ducks' eggs.) From Cape Vera they went on down into the southwest angle of Jones Sound, where they killed a seat; thence east along the south coast of the Sound, killing three bears at the point noted on the map, to the peninsula known as Cape Sparbo on the map, about midway on the south side of Jones Sound. Here they killed some musk-oxen and, continuing east, killed four more at the place indicated on the chart, and were finally stopped by the pack ice at the mouth of Jones Sound. From here they turned back to Cape Sparbo, where wintered and killed many musk-oxen. After the sun returned in 1909 they started, pushing their sledge, across Jones Sound to Cape Tennyson; thence along the coast to Clarence Head (passing inside of two small islands not shown on the chart, but drawn on it by the boys), where they killed a bear; thence across the broad bight in the coast to Cadogan Flord; thence around Cape Isabella and up to Commander Peary's old house in Payer Harbor near Cape Sabine, where they found a seal cached for them by Panikpata. I-took a-shoo's father. From here they crossed Smith Sound on the ice, arriving at Anorak. (Signed) R. E. PEARY, U. S. N. ROBERT A. BARTLETT. MASTER S.S. Roosevelt. D. B. McMILLAN. GEORGE BORUP.

SEVEN THE PULLEY SATURDAY...OCTOBER 16, 1909 AN HONEST GAMBLER. The Only One, Pat Sheedey Said, That He Ever Knew. Pat Sheedey told the story of the only "honest" gambler he ever knew. "It was up in Connecticut," said he. "He was called Deacon Brodie. He had a gambling house, and he said that any man who would cheat would steal. I was his student. The deacon used to see me practicing little villains with the cards, but he never said anything. One day a man named Lije Pembroke came along. He had just sold his onion crop, and he had money. He offered to play me seven up for $2 a game—a big stake in those days. Lije was the champion seven up player in that part of the country. I had no money to play with, so I asked the deacon if he would 'stake me.' "'Do you think you can win?' asks the deacon. "I told him I thought I could." "I will take a quarter interest in the game," said the deacon, handing me some money. I started away, but he called me back. "Can you cheat him, Pat? he asked me. "Then I'll take a half interest" said the deacon."-New York Journal. They Raised Paices While a prominent clergyman was traveling through Louisiana some years ago he addressed inquiries his fellow passengers with a view obtaining knowledge regarding the chards and fruit interests of the state. "Do you raise pears in Louisiana?" inquired the clergyman. "We do," responded the Louisianaian. "If we have threes or better." Both Were Winners A former United States senator was sitting in the Grand Pacific hotel in Chicago one evening when he was approached by an old time friend, who was engaged in a losing battle with John Barleycorn. The man took a chair alongside the senator. "I have a tip on which I can make $4 on the open board of trade tomorrow if I can get $10 to put up," he said. "I thought you would let me have the ten." The senator canvassed the situation quickly in his mind. Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out some money. "There you are," he said to his friend, handing him $4. The man took the currency and then hesitated. "This is only $4, senator," he explained. "I need ten." "You said you expected to make only $4, didn't you? Well, there it is. You have made $4, and I have made $6." And that closed the transaction.

The good vicar, supposing that some awful accident had happened and that "SHE DONE IT, SIR." there was need of consolation, left his dinner and sped down to a house by the water. In the living room sat the "Cap'n," erect, motionless, at his own tea table. On his head reposed a mass of wet tea leaves; down his cheeks coursed rivulets of brown liquid. He pointed to his wife: "She done it, sir. I said to myself. 'Folks I'll never believe it of her unless I can say the vicar saw it too.' So I sent for you!"

In a little while investors and promoters will be looking for a suitable midway locality for the establishment of a relay point, and when they have finished their research they will find that point to be. Glen Allen, Virginia. This charming spot with its improvements is now for sale with the single exception of the publishing house and its miniature surroundings. Glen Allen is a pleasant country seat—a domain of park and forest, richly wooded vetch close to the edge of Twentieth Century activities. It is twelve minutes from Richmond; three hours from Washington, and five and a half days from London. That Great Short Line which links the railroad systems of the North with those of the South is practically completed; and important results will follow this achievement. Six up-to-date roads have joined forces in this work, and the bold enterprise will dominate the development of that fertile region which extends from the Atlantic coast to the Valley of the Mississippi. The point of convergence from the entire South is Richmond; and the point of convergence from the North and West is Washington. Glen Allen is on the short link which unites these two vast systems, and Glen Allen is beyond comparison the most eligible spot on that link for a splendid development. The place is dotted with pretty villas; and has eight or nine miles of private avenues and shady sequestered lawns. Thousands of travelers pass Glen Allen daily, many of them describing it as the Deer Park, from the berries of half-tamed deer which roam its ample grounds, and which may be seen from the car windows for a mile or more. Glen Allen is the seat of Forest Lodge, which is a spacious mansion of a hundred rooms, furnished and equipped throughout, and situated in a beautiful Park fronting the railway station. A full description will be mailed on request by the owner, CAPTAIN CUSSINS, Glen Allen, Virginia. the girl her name. "Mary Tuft." she answered, blushing. "Well, Mary." said Mr. Lincoln, smiling. "when you reach home you can truthfully tell your mother you have rested on Abrham's boson." A Lesson From Nature I saw a delicate flower had grown up two feet high between the horses' path and the wheel track. An inch more to right or left had sealed its fate, or an inch higher, and yet it lived to flourish as much as if it had a thousand acres of untrodden space around it and never knew the danger it incurred. It did not borrow trouble nor invite an evil fate by apprehending it.—Henry D. Thoreau. The Cubby Hole Simeon Easygo, after living all of his sixty years on a farm, decided to take an ocean voyage. On board ship everything was very strange to him, and he found his little stateroom somewhat cramped. He obviated the lack of space, however, by stowing his trousers and shoes into a round cupboard in the side of the vessel when he was "THAT AIN'T A CLOTHESPRESS." preparing to go to bed. In the morning when he started to dress there were startling disclosures. Hastily summoning the steward, he exclaimed, "Steward, las' night I put my clothes in that 'ar cubby hole, an' they hain't thar now, an' I want 'em." "That ain't a clothespress," said the sympathetic steward consolingly; "that's a porthole, sir." Judged by the Odds Once when Lionel Brough gave his humorous entertainment at a northern lunatic asylum he spent the hour he had to wait for his train in playing one of the inmates, a harmless old gentleman, a game of billiards. Mr. Brough offered the patient 40 in 100 and was beaten easily. "If you go about giving odds like that," said the patient, "they'll put you in here with me." The Two In White. Kirsty McDougall, who lived in a remote highland parish, had a visit from her Edinburgh nieces, who were to spend a week or two with the old lady. She determined to show them off on Sunday at the ancient village kirk of Lochaber. The young ladies wore costumes of the purest snowy hue. At the point of his sermon the minister, in speaking of the angels of heaven, was heard to say: "And who are those in white array?" To the consternation of the congregation, Kirsty was heard to exclaim: "It's ma twa nieces, sir, fra Edin- Ways of the Chinese British manufacturers of blacking purchase large crates of beeswax. The beeswax impeded from China is in large cubes, each done up in a written guarantee of purity and quality. Nevertheless, deep down in the middle of the crates are lumps of a substance resembling Europe. a brick, trimmed to the exact shape of a genuine packet of beeswax. In other cases cubes when unwrapped are still apparently genuine wax, but on being sliced open are found to contain a large core of shavings, dirt and general floor sweepings of a busy factory.

TOO GOOD FOR THIS SPHERE "When it comes to ideal domestic women," said the proud young author, "the heroine of my new novel is the paragon." "That's just the kind of heroine we're looking for," replied the busy publisher. "Yes, sir, she is a woman you don't meet every day. In the first place, she never leans out of the back windows and criticises her neighbors' Monday wash." "She must be perfect." "Nor does she hang over the back fence gossiping by the hour while the dinner scorches." "Id like to meet one like her." "When new neighbors move in she does not criticise their old furniture and wonder if they have paid for their new." The busy publisher held up his hand. "Stop! That could not be a woman." "Not a woman." "No; that would be an angel." W. Victim (in Turkish bath)—Great heavens, man! You are nearly rubbing the skim off me. I don't believe you ever had any experience as a rubber.
