THE RICHMOND PLANET OPPOSED THE BILL GRANTING OF TENTS TO CONFEDERATES VETERANS. LEW IN THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Senator Heyburn, of Idaho, waved the "bloody shirt" for 40 minutes on the floor of the Senate yesterday. He brandished it as it has not been brandished since the days of reconstruction. Protesting against the loan or government tents for the use of the Confederate veterans at their annual reunion in Mobile, Ala., next April, he delivered the bitterest sectional speech that has been heard in Congress within the memory of all but two or three of the present members of the Senate. He inveighed against men in "rebel" uniform being permitted to occupy government property, or the "rebel" flag being allowed to float above it. Finally, he drifted into the question of honoring men by placing their statues in the congressional hall of fame, and by unmistakable inference condemned the action of Virginia in sending the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee to Washington. "Take it away and worship it if you please," he thundered, "but do not fature it upon the people who do not want it." Democratic senators moved uneasily about the floor, conversing with each other, or sat frowning and angered, listening to the speech, which continued for nearly an hour. Finally, when Senator Heyburn had concluded, Senator Bankhead said: "I am sure the senator from Idaho feels much better, and I ask for a vote." ROLL CALL DEMANDED "By roll call," shouted a dozen or more senators, and hands went up in second of that request from every part of the Senate chamber. When the vote was had on the tent loaning measure, all of the Democrats and all of the Republicans, except Mr. Heyburn, voted for it. His negative vote was uttered in a loud and defiant tone. His stood alone, against 61 senators. The Senate had been drowsily considering its regular calendar during the greater part of the day, and when, toward the close of the session after almost everything else had been disposed of, this measure was reached in its order, Mr. Heyburn was prompt to raise an objection. Mr. Bankhead was just as alert in moving the consideration, regardless of the objection. The Bankhead motion being undebatable, the Senate immediately proceeded to an aye and no vote on the question as to whether the resolution should be taken up, and it was adopted unanimously. Mr. Heyburn refrained from voting. With the resolution adopted Mr. Heyburn took the floor, went over many of the issues of the war, and declared himself as much a patriot now as he had been in 1862, 1863, and 1864. There were no material interruptions, but (Continued on Eighth Page) Dr. George W. Lee. Gone. Rev. George W. Lee, D. D., pastor the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church Washington, D. C., died Sunday, 6th inst. He was one or the leading Baptist preachers of the world, and his death will be an irreparable loss to the denomination in this country. Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham went up to attend the funeral last Thursday. Knights of Khorassan Enjoy Themselves. The Improved Order of the Knights of Khorassan had a most enjoyable time at the Pythian Castle last Tuesday night. Royal Vizier John Mitchell, Jr., presided during the short exercises.

Words of Truth and Wisdom by the Lamented Henry W. Grady on the Liquor Question. "To-night it enters an humble home to strike the roses from a woman's cheek and to-morrow it challenges this republic in the halls of Congress. To-day it strikes a crust from the lips of a starving child and to-morrow levies tribute from the government itself. There is no cottage humble enough to escape it, no palace strong enough to shut it out. It defies the law when it cannot coerce suffrage. It is flexible to cajole, but merciless in victory. It is the mortal enemy of peace and order, the despilier of men and terror of women, the cloud that shadows the face of children, the demon that has dug more graves and sent more souls unshriven to judgment than all the pestilences that have wasted life since God sent the plagues to Egypt, and all the wars since Joshua stood before Jericho. It comes to ruin, and it shall profit mainly by the ruin of your sons and mine. It comes to mislead human souls and to crush human hearts under its rumbling wheels. It comes to bring gray haired mothers down in shame and sorrow to their graves. It comes to change the wife's love into despair and her pride into shame. It comes to still the laughter on the lips of little children. It comes to stifle all the music of the home and fill it with silence and desolation. It comes to ruin your body and mind to wreck your home, and it knows it must measure its prosperity by the swiftness and certainty with which it wrecks this world." Personal—What will you do to help rid the world of this terrible curse? JOHNSON—HAWKINS The marriage of Mrs. Jennie V. Hawkins to Mr. Robert D.

O., Chester field County, Va. 4-1 MR. WILSON AROUSED. He is Pleased With Our Response— The Progress of the Negro. Elberon, N. J., Feb. 7, 1910. Editor of The PLANET:— Upon receipt of the Planet this morning, I read with keen interest and delight, your very able and extensive editorial reply in you issue of 5th inst., to Mr. James Samuel Stemons, under the heading, "Mr. Stemon's Strictures," which is given also in the same issue. Had I not previously shown interest in the same subject, I would still feel concerned as a fellow race-man enough to commend your most fitting and masterly response referred to above, every word of which properly fits the case at issue, and should find high favor with all of the thoughtful and capable members of the race, who may feel an interest in the uplift and general welfare of the race. When you can give facts and figures of an official origin, as is contained in your editorial of issue, to sustain the stand taken by you, why it simply crushes Mr. Stemon's argument into an insignificant mass, and the least he might do is, to take your advice as his best remedy, incoming back home to the South, bringing his idle friends with him, and all join in to make jobs for themselves, either as waiters in hotels owned by themselves or accept jobs given them by others, of whatever honest and profitable labor. It is my purpose now, not to do more at this time than to endorse your answer to Mr. Stemons, which I do unreservedly in this case. In the highest hopes for the progressive work by the race for their uplift, and general improvement, to go merrfly on to the end of time, I remain. Your Subscriber, J. D. WILSON.

Bread St., Richmond, Va HE LEFT US A LEGACY. (Continued from February 5, 1910. Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. Yes. "Good counsel is the best legacy a father can leave a child." The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding, hath established the heavens. The circumstances together with the season of February 12, 1910, the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birthday, impetu the mystic cords of memory to bring to our recollection lessons taught us relative to the condition of the world at the birth of Jesus. So extancy was the Roman terrestrial bounds that three civilizations were included within its circuit, namely, the Latin, Greek and Oriental, all united in peace under one grand power. So vast was this Roman empire, the timely inclinations crystallized proverbially, "that the whole world is under one sceptre at the head of which is Octavianus Caesar," usually styled Augustus, he ruled as absolute lord for forty-one years. All nations bowed before him, all kingdoms served him. Be it remembered, however, that at this period our American continents had not been discovered. This stupendous Roman world with all its excellency, was nevertheless, shrouded in moral darkness, in religious selfishness and draped in religious paganism and polytheism. Of its population of 100,000,000 more than half were slaves. All persons who were not members or the same state were considered enemies. Gross darkness righted the Kings, and enshrined the Lords. The birth of Jesus was a Solar Spectrum, whose band of shadow penetrated the gloom of a world which slept in darkness and the shadow of death. Thus appeared in the small village of Bethlehem, Judea, a bright star in the East which twinkled the news, within the terrestrial bounds of Augustus' empire of force. The leaven from Jesus' empire pervaded the empire of Augustus, and hook it, so to speak, from center to circumference i.e., the countries from the Atlantic Ocean to the Adriatic; from the Adriatic to Mount Taurus and the land is beyond to the Euphrates, were aroused and illuminated with the silver idea and problem, which pictured all nations with no distinction of race, color, rank, or previous condition, as being created of one blood with God as their common Father, filled with a Father's love for all mankind; and put in motion the undulatory theory of His light, which taught that religion does not lie in selfish or morbid devotion to personal interest, whether in the desert or the temple, but in loving work and self-sacrifice for others. Jesus exemplified these ideas and problems by His showing, as equal sympathy for the slave, and beggar as for the ruler, by His inviting all to come without distinction, and accept the one religion inaugurated for all races, and by His submission to death, that II might be saved. Jesus, together with followers, worked and labored by precept and example within this strong empire of Rome, more sedulously and persistent than do bees in a bee-hive, and finally overthrew it 476 A. D., thereby securing a territorial region for Christianity upon the ruins thereof. But his great doctrine was not to stop here, its mission is to glide among the atoms, molecules and possess the specific properties of all substance in which it belongs and conquer paganism, polytheism, and heathenism, wherever in whatever clime found. Well, has it fought its way, conquered, conquering, and still to conquer. Having overthrown the Roman dominion and played its part well in the East, still, holding its own therein, it foowed the voyages of Christopher Columbus, John Cabot and others over the seas of PRICE, FIVE CENTS the mighty deep to this new world. America no donot is the place devined for the reunion as one nation of the descendants of the three brethren, Shem, Ham and Japhetta, who were separated upon the confusion of tongues at Babel. Owing to climatic conditions, the vegetable and animal life by which it is surrounded that part thereof, known as the United States of America, seem destined to be the battleground for the final ultimatum of this brotherly concord and bond of union. The spirit of truth, guided the pen of the late Thomas Jefferson, Sage or Monticello in Virginia, the tongue of late John Adams of Mass., and the votes of the colonial America, to declare themselves a nation in the light of and in keeping with the doctrine of our Dvine Father and Lord Jesus. Gen. George Washington, of Virginia, First President U. S. A., who is known as the Father of our Country, whose anniversary will take place February 22, 1910, and Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, Sixteenth President U. S. A., who is styled the Father of our race, whose anniversary is February 12, 1910, were no doubt divinely inspired agents to put our magna charter and constitution in full operation. Honor to their memory. Their spirits are with God we trust. What a legacy has Jesus left His church? The Fifth Street Baptist Church concur with Psalmist. "The earth is the Lord's and thefulness dwell within, for he hath founded it upon the seas and established it upon the floods, and hath made of one blood all nations of men." The Lord gave the word, "Great was the company that published it, whereby our inheritance was confirmed when it was weary; His eyes behold the nations; let them be glad and sing for joy; for he shall judge the people rightfully, and govern the nations upon earth. The heart of the Fifth Street Baptist Church is fixed, it will trust trust in the Lord, obey His commands and estol His holy name. . . . Last Sunday was another lovely time with the church. It felt highly blest to see so many of its members and friends in attendance on such a cold snowy day. Rev. Dr. Adams, of Boston, Mass., preached an excellent sermon in the morning, which was filled with good sound advice, encouraging and counselling the church to press forward on and on, higher and higher, until it shall be called from labor to its final reward. The congregation was greatly impressed and highly pleased at the most excellent sermon. The church was proud to hear from Bro. Lewis S. Brock Lemas, who graduated as A. M. Lincoln University. . . . At night, Rev, Dr. Hall, or Danville, Va., preached a fine sermon as usual, feeding his flock with wholesome instruction. . . . The choir is still holding its own. Its leader Alex. McCoy is pleased to learn that Mr. Joseph Matthews, one of his choir members whom he has taught and is still instructing in music has made such a good reputation as a songster at the N. B. S. S. S. Convention last August. Mr. Joseph Matthews won for himself state reputation as a songster, and whenever any of the persons present at that convention visit this city, they endeavor to hear 'Little Joe' sing. At the request of Rev. Dr. W. T. Hall, of Danville, Va., last Sunday night at Fifth Street Baptist Church. Mr. Joseph Matthews sang "Mountain Railroad." You ought to have heard him. He tried himself. --- Sunday School—The Sunday-school is getting along nicely under Chorister Nelson G. Booker. Attended by the melodious songs from the piano and organ, played respectively by Miss Annie Brown and Mr. R. H. Fauntleroy. The music is extra good and always suited to the occasion. The Superintendent is proud to see that the school is still; on the increase and to see the deacons taking great interest therein. The presence or Deacons George Lee, Henry Chiles and Nat. Pierson, added much to the occasion last Sunday, as well as did the fine address of Rev. Dr. Adams, of Massachusetts. --- B. Y. P. U—The B. Y. P. U. resumed its meeting last Friday night. It will meet every Friday night at 8 o'clock. These meetings are interesting and instructive. Pres. John W. Howard desires to meet all the members Friday night. All are invited. Be on time. The Wednesday night prayer services are growing in interest. Let every one attend these meetings every Wednesday night. Sing, shout and give praise to God. Meetings open at 8:30 o'clock every Wednesday night. Pastor will prach next Sunday morning and night. Pastor left city to attend funeral of Dr. George W. Lee, of Washington, D. C.

And also on that same day Murgatroyd jumped into a cab and rode off on a pair of private inspection. The next day he sent for Thorne. "Before making things public, Thorne" he said, "I wanted you to read that." Thorne read with bulging eyes the yellow sheets that were thrust before him. Then he grasped Murgatroyd's arm, saying, "Don't make it public. There are political reasons," pleaded Thorne. "But it's bound to leak out—" "Never mind." Thorne was very uneasy. But again Murgatroyd persisted. "What of Mrs. Challoner?" "I'll take care of Mrs. Challoner," responded Thorne. "Leave the whole thing to me. I'll go with you before the court at any time you please," said Murgatroyd. And they did go before the court. The court opened its eyes when it heard. "Well, well!" exclaimed the court. Broderick and Thorne inter sat closely. Every crisis found them together. "Broderick," said the lawyer, "this is going to hurt Craddlebaugh's more than ever. The Challenger case has jumped from the frying pan into the fire." His grip tightened on Broderick. "This thing has got to be hushed up." "If it's got to be it can be," declared the politician. "But there's the court order!" Broderick grinned as he said: "There's men has got to die it—men that know how to file papers so blamod far in the pigeonholes that even a reporter can't find em." "Somebody's bound to find it out." "Not if I stretch out this hand." answered Broderick "That there hand has covered a multitude of sins." he squinted at Thorne. "But there's just one person I'm afraid of in this thing." "Murgatroyd?" "No; not a bit of it. You take my word for it Murgatroyd will never open his mouth again on the subject of the Challoner case. Heook that cash. He can't fool me." Broderick paused, then added. "Jim. Challoner is the fly in theiment." "You're wrong there." dissented Thorne. "I'll handle her. If she ever asks questions I'll answer her with the right kind of answers. You'd better be about it and do your little part, Broderick." "I'll do mine as soon as you do yours." "What's mine now?" Broderick held out his hand, saying: "A little check, counselor." That very day the doors of the big building Murrayroyd had visited opened wide. From them stepped forth a man—no, four men—four men laden heavily. With these four men was a fifth, but he was unseen. In the full light of day the four men carried a long oak box and swung it suddenly into a battered looking bearse. "That's the end of him!" they whispered. [TO BE CONTINUED.] LINCOLN A BRIGHT BOY. When Lincoln was about nineteen he was employed by Mr Gentry of Gentryville, ind., to go with his son Allen down the river to New Orleans with a cargo of bacon and other produce. While they were loading at Rockport, on the Ohio, Lincoln saw a good deal of the pretty Miss Roby who afterward became the wife of Allen Gentry. At this time the young lady evidently had a strong liking for the future emancipator. This, however, did not prevent her from writing of him in her diary as follows: "Abe is a long, leggy, gnawky boy, dried up and shriveled. One evening he and I were sitting on the boat, and I remarked that the sun was going down. He said to me, 'That's not No. It doesn't really go down. It only seems to. The earth turns from west to east, and the revolution of the earth carries us under, as it wears. We do the sinking, as you call it. The sun, as to us, is comparatively still; its sinking is only an appearance' I replied, 'Abe, what a fool you are!' I found out afterward that I was the fool, not Lincoln. In after years Mrs. Gentry wrote to one of Lincoln's friends as follows: "I am now thoroughly satisfied that at that time Mr. Lincoln knew the general laws of astronomy and the movements of the heavenly bodies. He was better read then than the world knows or is ever likely to know. He was the learned boy among us unlearned folk." Lincoln's Modesty When John Locke Scripps went to him in 1800 for materials for a campaign life Lincoln replied: "Why, Scripps, it is a great piece of folly to attempt to make anything out of me or my early life. It can all be condensed in a single sentence, and that sentence you will find in Tiey's Elegy! "The short and simple annals of the poor. "That's my life, and that's all you or any ones else can make of it." WOMEN WHO KNEW LINCOLN. BY GERALD PRIME. [Copyright, 1910, by American Press Association.] DESIRE his rather glumy temperament and always present realization of the fearful re DESpite his rather glorious temperament and always present realization of the fearful responsibility which the civil war had fastened upon him, Mr. Lincoln never held himself aloft from the various forms of popular amuse- ARKLINA PATTL 1853 mont prevalent in the early sixties. Although they had found little opportunity in early life to cultivate a taste for the theater, both the president and his wife were especially fond of the play and were familiar figures at the capital's rather primitive places of amusement. Although his musical appreciation did not extend beyond a hearty enjoyment of the homely singing of the Hutchinson family, whose ballads had contributed so powerfully to the spread of anti-slavery sentiment throughout the Union, Mr Lincoln sometimes went to the opera. On one of these occasions he heard Adelina Patti, then in the first dush of her fame as a prima donna. The opera was "Martin, and the diva sang "The Last Rose of Summer" in English. The president was delighted with the song, sought an introduction to the singer and invited her to come to the White House. The following day when the wonderful young song bird arrived at the executive mansion Mr Lincoln was deep in the discussion of some perplexing war problem with the members of his cabinet. When he entered the parlor in which the singer was waiting rather impatiently his solemn countenance is almost corruped with anxiety and apprehension. At sight of the diva his drawn features lightened perceptibly. CHARLOTTE CHARTER, 1863 and he greeted her warmly and told her of the pleasure her singing had given him. "I hope to hear you sing 'The Last Rose of Summer' again," he said. "I'll sing it now," said Patti impulsively, drawing off her gloves and senting herself at the piano. She was in fine voice, and the inspiration of her distinguished and highly appreciative audience of one made her singing especially effective. Despite the fact that on that very evening she was billed to sing a most exerting role in opera, she poured forth a wealth of melody with unstinted generosity, "Home, Sweet Home." ANKA E. DICKINSON, 1862. wance River," "Old Kentucky Home," "Comin' to the Rye," and half a dozen other folk songs following in quick succession. Throughout this impromptu concert Mr. Lincoln sat motionless with his long arms folded and his eyes half closed. When Pattt had finished she turned on the stool shoe with a naive "Mr President is that enough for today." The tired, humoury face of the great president relaxed into a smile which the Baroness Colorstorm has not forgotten to this day, so kindly was it and so expressive of wonder and admiration for the singer's art. "I look upon your visit to me as an abhorrent man," he said. "I will abhorrage you." THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. Another woman whose talent afforded Mr. Lineau many moments of respite from his arduous and soul rocking labors was Charlotte Crabtree, who under the stage name of Little Lotta was the favorite American comedienne of that period. Although Miss Crabtree was still in her teens, she had already acclaimed a national reputation as a brilliant imperator of light comedy roles and had sung and danced herself into the affections of the theater going public with a cleverness that speedily brought her fame and fortune. Not long before the dreadful tragedy in Ford's theater she played an engagement in Washington, and the president and his family were among her most appreciative admirers. A famous woman whose intellectuality and remarkable oratorical power made her a person of remarkable interest to the Lincoln family was Anna E. Dickinson, who at that time was at the mouth of her fame as a lecturer against slavery and disunion and kindred toples. Miss Dickinson was an early advocate of emancipation and was accustomed to make frequent visits to the White House to urge Mr. Lincoln to take the step. On these occasions Miss Dickinson was received with the most generous hospitality, and her ultra radical views were given respectful consideration. A fourth woman who has carried with her during her long and successful professional career the happy mem- TARESA CARRENO, 1651. ory of once having been the means of contributing to the entertainment of Abraham Lincoln is Teresa Curreno, now the most distinguished female piano artist of the day. In those days she was being exploited as a "musical prodigy," and even at that early age she was the mistress of a wonderful technique. The Lincoln was to hear the little Venezuelan malden play and were delighted with her. She was invited to the White House and played for the president. All of these women of genius whose blessed privilege it was to dispel a little of the gloom which was even then enbrouding the personality of the greatest man of his age are still in the flesh Adelina Patti, now the Baronesa Cederstrom, is growing old gracefully in her castle in Wales; Lotte, who is as thrifly as she is mentally alert, lives in New York city in a beautiful home of her own; Mme. Carreno, whose art has developed into splendid fulfillment of her youthful promise, is still America's premiere plantate, and Anna Dickinson, broken physically and mentally wrecked, is living in retirement in New York city. Lincoln's Favorite Poem. According to those who know him most intimately, Mr Lincoln was never again the same man after the death of Ann Rutledge, the "best beloved," of his early manhood. He had always been subject to attacks of mental depression, but after her death they became more frequent and alarming. It was about that time that he came across some verses in the "Poets' Corner" of a rural newspaper which made a strong impression on him. This was the poem beginning "Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?" None who ever heard him repeat these wonderfully plaintive yet curiously empty lines in after life realized that they served to keep in his memory a grief which remained with perpetual insistence in his heart, to which he could not with becoming delivery allude directly, but there is little doubt that Lincoln never recovered wholly from the loss of his youthful fiance. For many months after the passing of this beautiful young woman Lincoln was utterly disconsolate and made no secret of the fact. It was then that these ultra somber lines seemed to furnish him with a vehicle by means of which he might give expression to some of the sadness of soul which overshadowed him. In the words of one who knew him at the time "He was heard to murmur them to himself as he slipped into the village at nightfall after an evening visit to the cemetery, and he would suddenly break out with them in little social assemblies after periods of silent gloom. They seemed to come unbidden to his lips." That poem is now Lincoln's very own. The name of the obscure poet is lost to posterity, but his unpretentious work is associated imperishably with the memory of one of the world's greatest men and interwoven with the history of his supreme sorrow. He Deserved Punishment "Now sir," thundered the lawyer, "did you have your nails polished by a blood lady on Tuesday morning?" "I decline to answer," retorted the witness. "Did you not have your hands managed by the same blood lady on Wednesday afternoon?" persisted the lawyer. "I decline to answer," said the witness again. "Did you not have your nails polished by the same blood lady on Thursday?" pressed the lawyer. "I decline to answer," declared the witness for the third time. The judge leaned forward angrily. "Come, come," he exclaimed. "Why do you refuse to answer counsel's questions?" "Because," retorted the witness, "he skins too manicurious questions."—London staff. Special attention paid to children.

I had troubled Negroes who raised wind and no money will be at a discount all over the country. We need colored folks now who know how to make a dollar and who know how to save a part of the dollar that they have made. The trouble with some colored folks seem to be that they expect other people to make openings for them and to afford them opportunities without any effort on their part. They are woefully mistaken. There is no royal road to success. o If the colored graters of the country would save even a tenth part of their present earnings, they would have enough money in ten years to engage in a business that would afford employment to half of them and yield a dividend to the other half. Too many of them are the the styles and fashions and habits of the wealthy classes that they serve. The result is that they spend their money as fast as they make it and when they become sick must rely upon the charitable characteristics of their associates or land in the alms house. We do not see that the day is unusually dark for the Nogroes. They have more education more training just as much religion more property more money and just as many duties as they ever had. They are being just as much maligned and abused by one class of people and are being just as much praised by another class. They are not being burdened as large numbers as formerly and they do not hold as many government jobs as they once held but taken all in all they are hard put not further up the road of progress today than they were thirty years ago. There is something pathetic and grand in being on the side of the op- posed.

For instance Circular 97 of the Forest Service, has been represented as saying that California will in a few years be the only source of hardwood supply in the United States. Such a statement has never been made in any of the Forest Service publications and is not considered a fact. The department experts believe that there is promise of considerable success in the cultivation of eucalyptus trees in many parts of California but estimates of profit and growth have been attributed to the department which are or authorized. There are many uncertainties connected with eucalyptus culture the Government experts say which the investor should take into account. In some cases statements are falsely attributed to the Forest Service in advertising matter have been corrected when attention was called to the facts, but not before the misstatements had been widely circulated. Secretary Wilson says he does not intend to allow the name of his department to be used as a means of attributing the public and that in future any concern which attributes to the Forest Service unauthorized statements may expect the statements to be incorrectly disavowed. $150.00 Endowment Paid Norfolk N.

Hiram Moe Declares He Paid Senator Allida $1000 and Divided $5000 Among Two Others — Money Was Placed In Envelopes. Albany, N Y, Feb. 9.—Hiram G. Moe created a sensation at the trial of the Conger bribery charges in the state senate when, on the witness stand, he said he paid Senator Jotham P Allida $1000 to help kill certain bridge legislation. This man is Hiram G. Moe. He has been an employee of some of the Conger since he was seventeen years of age, and he now lacks a year of throso- At the time he says he paid Alles the money Moe was the private secretary of Frank Conger, the active member of the Conger family in the bridge business, and brother of Senator Benn Conger, who made the charges against Senator Alda. The bribery is alleged to have taken place on April 23, 1901, and Frank Conger died early in 1902. Money Placed In Envelopes. , Moe, in the open senate, testified that he left Groton, Tompkins county, on April 28, 1801, and reached Albany that night with $6500 in currency, which was given him by Frank Conger in Croton. At the direction of Sonator Benn Conger, he swears, $4000 of this money was placed in one envelope and sealed and the name of the assemblyman who was to get it written on the back by Moe, who then placed $1000 in a second envelope and sealed it, and $1000 in a third envelope which was also sealed. The names of the two assemblymen who were to get the $1000 were written by Moe on the back of the respective envelopes, at the direction of Senator Conger. Moe swears these sealed envelopes were handed by him to the three assemblymen for whom they were intended, and that Senator Allis got one of the envelopes containing $1000. Who got the other two envelopes wasn't divulged, and Conger's attorneys stated that they wouldn't make known their names unless the senate requested it or counsel for Allis insisted upon it. Senator Edgar T Brackett made it plain that the other two names should not be brought into the proceedings as they would be unable to protect themselves in these proceedings. Moe declared Senator Conger introduced him to the man to whom he paid the $4000 envelope and also introduced him to Senator Aldis, but that Senator Conger didn't so him hand the $1000 in the envelope to the third assemblyman Moe's story of how the $6000 was fixed up in Conger's apartment was graphic. Moe carried the money in the envelopes in his pocket to the capital. Meeting Aldis in the capital Senator Conger is alleged to have said to Moe "This is Assemblyman Aldis coming now" and Moe and Conger approached the then assemblyman. "Joe this is the representative of my brother Frank" Senator Conger is alleged to have said, and Moo claims he then said to Aldis "Mr Allida, Mr Conger told me to give you this amount." handing Bonato to Allida the envelope. Before Mr Moe's direct examination was over, Mr Osborne asked him if he was sure the assemblyman he gave the envelope to containing the $1000 in April 1991 was the present respondent Senator Allida. Mr Moe turned and looked Senator Allida squarely in the eye and the senator grinned. "Yes, I'm sure it's the same Senator Allida" replied Mr Moe. "And you are certain he is the man you handed the envelope to containing the $1000?" asked Mr Osborne. "I am sure answered Mr Moe. Before Moe testified Senator Bein Conger filed a sworn bill of particuliers. He declared that 'the person who delivered $1000 to Allis on ob about April 23, 1901 was Hiram G. Moe of Groton 'Tompkins county'" "This sum he asserts, was demanded by Allis of Bein Conger and Frank Conger in the interests of the American Bridge company a corporation." PARIS REJOICES Takes Rigorous Measures to Ward Off Entrapment on Steel Staircases Epidemic as Flood Subsidies. Paris, Feb. 1. The improvement in the general situation continues and the spirits of the Parisians are rising as the waters fall Street hawkers are soiling post card pictures of the flood and the boulevards are once more gay with refoliating thousands. The prefect of the department of the Seine has issued instructions to the owners of flooded houses to clean and disinfect their premises, to the satisfaction of the muralpal, architects within twenty four hours after the subsidence of the waters. Otherwise the work will be done at the cost and risk of the owners. The government has ordered the tax collectors to show the greatest lenency to delinquents and the Monte de Plate is extending pawn tickets for three months. Several steam traps resumed the work of pumping out the subway and considerable progress is being made in the sections where the flood is the lowest. Public and private benevolence continues to respond to the call of the sufferers. All the theaters and musical societies are organizing benefits, while the various race courses are arranging a big meeting for the spring, the receipt of which will go to the poor. A resolution has been introduced in the chamber of deputies, asking the government to award special crises I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, falling memory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains or the follicles of youth, that has owed so many worm and nervous men right in theirrown homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his manly power and virility, quickly and quietly, should have a copy. So I have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study or man and I am convinced it is the surest acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who is weak and discouraged with repeated failures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the quickest acting restorative, upbuilding, SPOT TOUCHING remedy ever developed, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: Dr. A. E. B. Robinson, $295 Luck Building, Detroit. Mich., and I will send you a copy of this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary envelope free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 to $5.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free. of the Legion of Honor to those who have been conspicuous in the rescue work. Although the papars are prifting columns of pitiful stories, a hundredth part of the horror and agony suffered never will be known. Many corpse have been swept down the river, and occasionally a coffin in a boat, which probably had broken away from a funeral procession. Scores of half-famished families have been rescued from their homes and there are hundreds still occupying their half-submerged houses waiting for the water to recede.

Two Robbers Held Passengers at Bay With Revolvers, While a Third Collected the Loot—Rode into Town and Escaped. Three masked men held up and robbed a Missouri Pacific passenger train near Pittsburgh. Kan. They soared about $400 and a small amount of jewelry and escaped." The robbers boarded the train, which was a local accommodation, running between Coffeyville, Kan. and Waco. With the skirts of Pittsburg they took seats in the chair car and rode quietly until the train was near Cornell, Kan. There they leaped from their sets, backed Conductor Garrity into a corner and, drawing their revolvers, warned him not to call for assistance from other members of the train crew. One of the robbers then covered the passengers with two large revolvers. "You will now prepare to give up your valuables," he said. "My partner here will pass among you. Please be quiet." The "partner" thereupon produced a gunny sack and started on his collection tour. From each passenger he took everything of value. Money watches, diamonds and rings, all went into the sack. One woman screamed and fainted. The collector calmly lifted a ring from her finger picked her purse up from the floor to which it had "fallen" and passed on to the next victim. Passengers revived the woman after the robbers left the coach. Throughout the progress of the robbery the train hurried ahead. Not one of the crew with the exception of the conductor knew a robbery was being perpetrate. When the lights in the town of Cornel loomed into view several of the passengers at the rear of the coach who had not been reached by the robbers and hopes that they would escape without their valuables, and they began placing them back in their pockets.

Rockheim declared with every evidence of sincerity that he had received a divine message demanding that he and the members of his family proceed to the comedy at South Flintington there to exhume with their hands several bodies deeply buried. "Before Easter," the decree declared, unless the command was carried out as pronounced Rockheim and his family would be dragged to death.

Rockhill hacked his wife a body at most to pieces each of the children's bodies also contained a number of deep cuts made by the axe. They all were in bed and could make no resistance nor effort at escape. After the murders of his family Rockhill went into the barnyard, saw four head of cattle in order that his dogs might not suffer for want of food. Then he returned to the house and after he had knotted in prayer with a jackknife stabbed himself below the heart. He did not die. Lamp Wipes Out Family.

A noose was tied in the middle of a large rope and the ends were run through gallops and each was fastened to a trace chain that dangled from a harnessed horse. When the noose had been adjusted the horses were driven in opposite directions, thus choking the big beast to death. As the proxusure tightened one of the horses was dragged backwards, but the other horse took up the slack rope rapidly, and Fargo fell to the ground and died in a few minutes.

My old father was a country doctor and he always carried his guileline and colonel and such like in a big pair of saddlebags.

How Bees Find Their Way How are bees able to find their way home after their long forays after honey? Gaston Bonnier of Paris has been studying their directive sense which he thinks is that possessed by pigeons. Bees can fly for two miles from the hive and are then able to return after gathering their supply of nectar and carbohydrate which they then use to play and that bees can see for a great distance and can also note objects on the way so as to find their path. Others, with its advantage that the bees are guided by the sense of smell and that they can smell flowers at distances of one and a half miles. M Bonnier has made experiments to prove that bees can return to the hive without using either sight or odor. As to sight, he took bees to a distance of one and two tenths miles from the hive in a closed box. They always drew back to the hive when released. The same is true when their eyes were covered so that sight was not essential. As regards odor experiments seem to prove that odor possessive odors at only short distances. When a needle dipped in either is brought near the head of the bee it shows signs of perceiving the odor but not so when the needle is placed back of him or near other organs. Besides when the organs of small antennae are removed entirely the bees will return to the hive. M. Bonnier made the following experiment. At first feet from the hive he placed a supply of strap and the bees soon found it preceding to and from the hive. Such bees be marked with green and red strap. He then placed a second supply of strap at the same distance from the hive the strap of twenty feet from the former. Other bees were also placed in the to and from the movements to the point but these were not the same individuals as the green worked ones who were still working at the first step and be placed there in need. This gave two distinct sets of bees placed distinguish two directions which form very a lot angle. These forms M. Bonnier believes include a special receptivity, some which does not reside in the antenna, but probably in the core broad ganglia.

Materials Vary with the Age and Size of the Little Miss—Party Frock of Approved Design is 11. MARY DEAN Children a fashion these days are as dotted and carefully considered as are those for their elders. The little toilettes suitable for four year-olds are not always suitable for six year-olds though a girl of seven may wear the model supplied for a girl of ten, and even go the older maid one better in point of elegance of material. In fact, the younger the children the more splendid may be their garments, and it is no uncommon thing to see the tinker lace of a family of growing juveniles quite gorgeous in velvet, silk and lace, while eight and ten-year-old sisters wear plainish cloth and serge coats and very simple hats. With the thin spindling legs which tolld of approaching maddenhood, this plainness seems very pretty and suitable, just as the doll like fineries of the baby girl seem appropriate and becoming Wash materials are largely used for girls from the baby ages up to five, but after that winter seems to call for simple wools for the practical frocks, and for handsomer wools, with silk, velvet or braid trimming for the smarter dresses and where a really handsome material can be chosen crepe de chino is often preferred to a definite silk. This soft texture, which builds up a little dress frock of uncommon beauty, not only cleans splendidly, but in white and many pale colors THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY it will even wash while no texture more readily lends itself to dyeing. The illustration shows a Mayen Age style for party purposes and for a child from four to six years of age. The material pictured is a French lawn, a deep embroidered fountaining forming the skirt, which is laid in side plats from a front box plait. A matching centre deux shapes the suspenders and neck and sleeve trimming, and the broad girdle is made of soft louisian ribbon in a pale blue. The cut out neck and short sleeves of this dainty little frock would make the garment very becoming to a plump, pretty child, and though it gives an impression of elegance the costume is really very simple and easy to make. With any thin material, such as lawn dotted mulch Swiss or mousse-line do soe all of which textures would creat charming effects with a fine ribbon sawn and French lacas, an undership made on the exact lines of the gown would be needed. This would be handsome in silk but many clever mothers get almost as fine results with underships of soft finished lawn or silkatine. In pale colors, blue, pink and corn the last material has quite the effect of silk under a diaphanous texture.

But the question arises: How can we live in this evil world without giving time and strength to the gaining of worldly things such as money possessions, houses, clothing, food and the comforts of civilization? The answer is: God wants us to have the very best of both the heavenly and earthly, but we cannot have the best of even this world without making God and his righteousness first and chief.

He pitted himself self against the advatives of the fugitive slave law in the senate and made a speech which upset all the spectators of those who were his champions. In the famous debate on Kansas Nebraska bill in 1854 he directed all the kerosene shifts of his wit and logic against the measure and he won. Two years later he made the famous speech on the contest in Kansas which so excited theire of the hostess Presbyterian Brooks that he sought both satisfaction. His speech entitled "The Bartholomie of Sacrery was read all over the country and produced a tremendous effect Gerrit Smith was a pioneer in the dissemination of anti slavery doctrine. As early as 1932 he practically withdrew from all of enterprises and devoted himself and his substance to the spread of anti-slavery principles.

It was an avant-counter of Abraham Lincoln and his mission, and the great emancipator always regarded it as such. For its author he had the most appreciative admiration and she was always welcomed at the White House. --- Why Lincoln Told Stories Lincoln undoubtedly appropriated all the stories he could acquaint himself with regardless of their antiquity, and often no doubt, he adapted their point to the conditions of the people he lived among. His own explanation of his extraordinary propensity to ascend in speech or conversation is excellently given in the Century Magazine by Colonel Silas W. Bur, who relates a remarkable incident, bithered unpublished, of civil war history. It is not necessary in this connection to do more than quote the words. "I believe I have the popular reputation of being a story teller, but I do not deserve the name in its general sense for it is not the story itself, but its purpose or effect that interests me. I often avoid a long and useless discussion by others or a intolerious explanation on my own part by a short story that illustrates my point of view. So too the sharpness of a refusal or the edge of a reluke may be blunted by an appropriate story so as to save wounded feeling and yet serve the purpose. No, I am not simply a story teller, but story telling as an emblem saves me much friction and distress." It may be added that this accords with the view which most students of Lincoln a character had reached. Lincoln's Cabinet Lincoln hated to dictate. He shrewd from assuming to control the members of his cabinet until forced by circumstances to take upon himself the responsibility. His natural preference was to work with rather than to lead men. He could not bear to humili any fellow being however low his rank. But he found an emergencies arose that some one must rule and that as president he alone was responsible to the people. His courage never permitted him to shirk a duty, and thus little by little his power was modestly put forth. When the members of Lincoln's cabinet first met probably no one among them suspected that their counsels would be ruled by the man who sat at the head of the table.

In him were strength and gentleness so justice. That each upheld the other He pos- sessed The patient firmness of a loving heart. In power he out-kindened emperors, and yet his mercy was as boundless as his power. And he was joyful, laughter loving, still his heart was ever torn with suffering. There was divine compassion in the man. A godlike love and pity for his race. The world saw the full measure of that When Lincoln died When Lincoln died a type was lost to men The carth has had her conquerors and kings And many of the common great.

Among the latest importations are some extremely handsome blouses. They are, as a rule, close to the figure than otherwise. There is nothing bunchy about them. Outstanding gatherers are carefully avoided.

Frills are permissible about the hand when they prove becoming, and also as a part of the Pierrot stock when length of neck and a sloping line of shoulder admit of such fullness. For practical blouses to be worn with tailored troting costumes, the tub models in linen, cotton, crepe, etc. are now worn through the winter, but there are good looking models in silk, too, rather more of these silk models in fact than there have been in recent seasons. The rise of moire has brought it into the realm of the blouse, and some attractive tailored models are made up of this silk, which is now to be had in quantities of delightful suppleness and luster One such blouses offered in various modish colorings, achieved considerable smartness on simple lines because of the beautiful quality and coloring of the silk, was laid in two plats on each shoulder, though shoulder lines, by the way, must be narrow this season, and deep plats falling over the sleeve top are consequently not desirable, though usually becoming. The left front, lapped across the right, was fastened in a point with a hand some ornament made from cords covered with the silk. The small V left open in front was filled in by a gulpe of cream net, and a tiny collar of the moire turned down upon the white collar WHEN PLANNING DINING ROOM Bome Points to Be Remembered If One Would Be Pleasant At Appartments The dining room should be large enough to permit a person to pass around the table comfortably. It should be light and sunny easily heated and ventilated. The most essential pieces of furniture are a table of generous width capable of being enlarged, comfortable chairs and a sideboard, if one cares for a sideboard. It is not absolutely necessary. If the room is large enough and the purse admits a cabinet with glass fronts and glides to hold dainty bits of china and glassware will brighten up the dining room more than anything else. If there be no room for a cabinet or a corner cupboard and some shelves are an addition, plate rails are much liked by some people but the plate rail is not used so much now as formerly. Plates that suggest pleasant subjects are always desirable. A few forms and flowering plants add brightness and beauty to the dining room and flowers on the table should be found in the dining room. It is there that the room is best to gather. It is also where the room is best to be removed. It is also where the part of the room to be removed is best to be removed.

ADVANTAGES OF BEE KEEPING Are Many to the Fruit Grower as Their Activity Insures Fertilization of Blossoms. BY NELSON A. CLARK.) Blooming is a valuable aid in the cultivation of fruit and seed crops. Insects which feed on nectar play an important part in the fertilization of flowers. Fertilization is effected in other ways, but the agency of insects is the more certain and efficacious, and no Subscribe to the PLANET. OF RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. other insect is comparable with the honey bee in this respect. A strong bive contains 10,000 bees in February, 15,000 in March 10,000 in April and from 60,000 to soo in May it has been discovered by skillful observers that the average load of nectar carried to the bive by a bee is about threetenths of a grain, so that the collection of one pound of nectar requires nearly 23,000 foraging excursions. By means of flies set on balances it has been found that the daily increase of weight in May averages 3.3 pounds. Occasionally more than 11 pounds is gained in one day and when the amount consumed by the bees and the loss of weight by evaporation are considered it appears probable that the average daily quantity of nectar collected is not less than 11 pounds, which would load 250,000 bees. As a bee visits ten flowers on the average in collecting a single load, some 2,500,000 flowers are visited in one day by the bees of a single bive. An additional large number of visits is required for the collection of pollen. These figures explain why many trees and plants bear small crops in the absence of bees. HANDY CART FOR ANY FARM Almost Any Person Can Build This Farm Implement and it is Not at All Expensive. A Barton county farmer who sells a number of young calves and hogs each year and usually sells them one and two at a time lately built the stock cart herewith illustrated. The axle Handy Cart. was made by a local blacksmith from two old axles of an extra heavy spring wagon, writes J E. Bridgman, in Farm, Stock and Home. The two wheels were from some farm implement and the bed was built of common pine floor to same, having small spaces between the boards to facilitate cleaning. The sides were about three feet high, to prevent the stock jumping out. The front end was nailed in solid and the rear end made in two pieces and swing on heavy hinges as shown. As the cart bed hangs close to the ground, it is only necessary to back it up to the pen and drive the animal in, close the end gate, fasten the tongue to the wagon gear and drive to town. The tongue is of course stiff and fastened to lower side of the bed with bolts and is about six feet long. Almost any man or boy can build one of these carts and as they are not expensive can be used by one man and for many purposes, if seems that one should find a place on every farm.

First, the upward movement of soil water and second, by water which falls on the outside. To guard against the former select a little ball so that no water will flow under the stack. Then spread old hay or straw about one foot in depth to prevent capillaries water from flowing under the stack and rotating the bulbs of the lower bundles. Now is a handle to one side with in its interior and have the pitcher pitch on tips. It will prevent the loss of the grain which shells out in handling the bundles. Set a shock where the middle of the stack is to be and keep on adding to it equally from all sides as a writer in Orange Judd Farm. Set the bundles quite Model Drain Stack. straight, but leaning a little toward the center pair. When the bottom is the desired size, I make mine 16 to 18 steps in circumference, lay a row of bundles on the outside row Lay them by hand close together and crouch on them with one knee, keeping the other leg on the outside as a shield or a guide as to how far the bundles should be laid out. Secure these bundles in place by laying others on top or against the heads of these. Fill all holes and have the butt present a flat, slightly elevated in the center, and compact appearance. Now begin laying the two outside rows. Walk on the inner or second row, and never heretoafter step on the outside or first row. The outside row should be laid so as to have the outside plump and the second row should be laid on top of this clear out, or nearly so, to the band. Lay the third so that the stack will be nearly flat. Continue building the stack like this until it will be about six feet high. See that the outside row is good and gold, for at this height buge the stack This is what some call building the eaves. Choose good, well shaped large, but not heavy, butted quite rigid bundles. Lay the first row about six inches over the edge of the stack and lay the second row far enough upon it to hold it well in place. Have the pitcher take care not to pitch upon this row nor against your legs for this may cause the bundles to slip out. Lay the third row so that when the next outside row will be laid it will rest smoothly upon these three rows. Fill up the middle so that it will be about four feet higher than the out side row after two more tiers will have been laid. The second outside row after laying the stack should be laid over about two inches farther than the first and the inside laid the same way as in the proceeding tier, which has been described. The outside row of the next tier should be laid just as far out as the outside row of the former tier and the second row laid quite well upon the heads and the third row well out. This will give the pitch to the bundles. The inside should be quite high Now begin to draw the stack to a close. But do it slowly, for the stack will settle and when settled it will be bluntor than it was when built. How ever, each succeeding tier should be drawn inward just a little faster than the former one. The stack, when completed, should be quite compact, stout, not slouder in appearance. GOOD FASTENING FOR GATES Illustration Showing Practical Method of Locking Gate and is Not Difficult to Make.

IF JEFFERIES IS THE HE, WILL WIN IN A DOZEN ROUNDS, SAYS CORBETT Hard Work Needed to Get Big Fellow in King Condition I don’t know that Jeffers will win a race with Johnson and James Lobb but the other day because on the big is safe. He is and I don’t know what he is. He is in for the old spade and start in a future rematch. He made a careful study of the no-go and I am not sure that he will be hard at it in a long fight. But Jeffers is a bit when he bent at the knees, he willing to say that he is in inside of a downed hole. It is all a question of confidence with the ballmaker. He knows how to fight and is the greatest man I ever seen in a ring. In his prime he was very fast on his feet for his size and swing. He will not outnumber the first-class pitcher but when it came down on hard fighting he was there with no hands that were irresistible. Jeff however, has been out of the fighting game for nearly five years. He has taken life easy, in that he has denied himself very few luxuries and has thought little or nothing of pugilism. He has a wonderful constitution though and he told me in London recently that he was sure he could come back. In fact, he said he did not make up his mind to fight Johnson until he had satisfied himself that he didn't get into his best condition. In getting ready for the match Jeff will have to do much hard work in the first place he must pick the wind. He is matched to go 4 rounds and if Johns has a defensive game Jim will have to be very strong in wind and humidity to stay a long route. His taking long road runs and plenty of over in the mountains I trains Jeff will get his belbows in exercise working or der. But he never gets lungs before he does it. I have agreed to attend the last five weeks at his school to help him speed up I intend to box with him ten or fifteen rounds every day at top speed so that he can increase his activity in getting around the ring. There are many tricks and methods which Jim can freestyle up on, and I think I can help him. But in addition to boxing bouts with me I think he should have two or three rugged heavyweights who can fight him in dead corner. If I had any thing to do with his management I would have had to take part in several real fights in order to subject him to a severe test. Boxing doesn't count for much you know, when a man is training for a hard mill. He needs actual experience in the giving and taking of heavy blows in order to test his stamina and harden his physique. 'Endurance is going to cut a big figure in this battle and am very anxious to have Jeff perfect himself in this respect. He is a bear for work and is so determined to beat the frogro that I am sure he will leave no stone unturned in his preparation. I know he will not shirk a single task set before him for he realizes that Johnson is not a joke and will put up a terrific battle. Corbett attributes Jeffries' cleverness to the early lessons he received from Tommy Ryan when he bottled maker was preparing for his first conflict with Bob Fitzsimmons Ryan was engaged by W. A Brady to go down to Jeff's training quarters at Allenburst, N. J., and show him some of the more scientific features of the game of hit stop and get away Ryan, a wonderful lover and fighter himself jumped at the chance. When he took hold of Jeffries he found the bottlermaker was just a big lumbering giant who could take a lacing and had a killing wallop if he could land it. Jeffries had reduced himself to 200 pounds by the time Ryan appeared at the training camp but he was promptly informed that he would have to take off some more flesh. How? Well, Ryan tolled him that fast boxing in a larn would help some, so they went to work with a will. Ryan had a peculiar method of structuring the big fellow in the art of scientific fighting. He never explained a thing orally, but as soon as the gloves were drawn and he proceeded to go around Jeff like a cooper around a barrel. Ryan foisted, sidetopped, whipped, jabbed, uppercut and swung, until Jeffries was bewildered. The big fellows' eyes were bunged up imminently and his nose and mouth were soon bleeding. But he never said a word in protest. Instead he took all that Ryan Jolivered, at the same time studying the clever middleweight's tactics with much care. He soon found himself instinctively blocking some of the swift punches and dodging others. He also assumed the crouching position which he later used in all of his fights, and after a while, as his footwork became speedy, he began to unhook the same kind of blows that Ryan was using. Ryan's long, quick left that was incessantly plunged into Jeff's face was a revelation. The boilermaker smiled grimly as he received a storm of blows from this glove. It actually please J the gigantic fighter, who did his beat to copy it. As he crouched low and stretched out his own left Jeff soon found that his longer reach enabled him to meet Ryan with some effect, but it was not until he finally knocked Tommy down with a ponderous jab on the point of the chin that Jeff realised he was slowly but surely mastering the middleweight's best blow. Thon came a study of Ryan's right, which was used either in the short ribs or on the head. When the rollmaker scored a knockdown with a right hand counter one day Ryan got up laughing. There's nothing more I can teach you now, said Tommy. You've got it all Now if you'll fight Fitzsimons that was you'll surely beat him. Right at, to the day of the mill Ryan septed on boxing with Jeffries, however and when the heavyweights got into the court Tommy was in Jaya's other Moved him with the left arm in his left hand to the was Ry. He ordered Save your right hand and a shot him him low or drive it to his hand. Bettys observed Ryan to the better him in his left hand in with his wings and ran for the into the bankmaker's left. That was an hit in the bar. In the amount could be filled head on with this wet the left hand and was known as written behind Ryan. He asked as usual as Bett up. Bettys with the left hand to the left save the right. The bankmaker called many Ryanized postmaster worked the left thereafter with dire results, and when he had the turn she ran around the ring in the giepth round he heard Ryan sell. Now the right, Jim! Put it over!" With the force of a pince d'air lefties let go his right, it con- nected. Fitzsimons fell to the door sounds from the force of a ter- rible blow on the jaw and Ryan was the first man to shake the big juggist by the hand! The credit is all yours. Tommy calmled left as he sat down in his corner to be spanked off. I shall never forget you! Champion Is Just Opposite To Jeffries Johnson's Right Like a Live Wire By Tad. A right hand gesture That is Jack Johnson's one best bet for next Fourth of July. The new champion is exactly opposite with his most deadly punch from the left handed lefties. As we stated the other day, Jeffries is a one-punch man doing all his lace with his left. Johnson is also a one-punch man firing his deadly shots from the right hand side. Johnson save himself, only two of his battles were wounded with his left hand, out of twenty-five battles he has fought every can be knocked out, not wounded with the right hand upper with the exception of George Mills and Jim Sisson. Johnson doesn't know himself how they happened to miss the right but when the left hand, them they drooped without being trimmed up with the right. A great many people say that a left hand jab in of no account Him torbett declares that if a woman slaps you in the face long enough she will knock you out His jab he says may not knock a man over on his hand nor put him out for an hour, but the tantalizing poking does its work gradually The constant jab jab jab dulls the other fellow's brain and leaves him open for a right if you have one Johnson figures it the same way His left arm is not as strong as the right Dr Sargent, at Harvard, found during his examination that the colored fellow's right arm was a third stronger than the left His dendly work is all done with that wing The left may jolt, but the right anthill late Bam Langford tested the right when he met Johnson in Boston. He went to the floor on the flat of his back and twice the referee ran the string of numbers up to nine over Bam Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, who was knocked out by Johnson in Prisco, was sent to dreamland with this uppercut. Jim couldn't hand on the clever Johnson, and while rushing in the eleventh round said "You're a clever gib, eh! Well, take this." He tore at Johnson with his head lowered, but as he started to pound Johnson the right came up and Jim went down for keeps. Tommy Burns, in Australia, felt the force of that big right in the very first round. He was short and chunky, just the sort of a man who falls easy prey for the right. He rushed Johnson, too, and stopped the right with the point of his child. He was on the floor in a jiffy, and later on was on the floor again. The right simply wore him down to a wabbling wreck, and the police saved him from a knockout. Bob Fitzsimmons, in Philadelphia, went over on his head like a drunken man the night he fell into the right uppercut. Fitz fell over on his face and he tried his best to get up. He got his knees up, but his head wouldn't budge. He was completely paralyzed for the moment. It was a terrific foll. A M - Jeffries is ex champion heavyweight of the world. When he retired and handed his laurels to Murray Hurt the "ox" went before his name Jack McAuliffe is another ex champion. Like Jeff, he retired unbeaten. You might just as well calm that McAuliffe is champion. Iightsight as to say that Jeff is champion heavy. Jim Coffrath is due today. He has $100 bet with Eugene Corre of the National Sporting Club in London that he lands in Prison on February 7. Some hustle kid. OPPOSED THE BILL. Continued from the First page and the senators listened with evident interest. SOUTHERNERS ARE SILENT The southerners hold a united consultation with the liberal lot was preceding and do not make toy. Accordingly when Mr. Heyburn had canned they tentled governors with a flowing tent. It was a lot under the tent led by Mr. Blank It is assured that Mr. Heyburn's college, Senator Born, had was the first of the Republicans to be treated in the roll call. With a week of the election, he faced the question of the rest. Mr. Heyburn stood which was I was stationed in formations at the United States veterans station at the time he said, and I was at the government of the United States in recognition of the United States short loan the property of the United States I trust I shall not be obliged with bad faith when I shall have today injured from who is interested in this case whether or not on this occasion the men engaged in this colony would wear the rebel uniform and his reply was in the affirmation I asked him further to rebel if was to be carried over this property of the United States and he said that both the rebel and United States were always carried at these reunion THINKS SOUTH IS WRONG Mr Heyburn then proceded to say that while he did not want to open the wounds of the war of the rebellion he still thought the South had made a great mistake in that war. He had been told that the government was in the habit of making such loans to the Grand Army of the Republic, and he thanked God that such was the case, because the Grand Army consisted of men who had fought on the side of the Union, and their cause was a glorious and honorable one. Do you expect the said golfer back to the confessor of the A.R. with the Confederate veterans that those who gave their support to the Union cause would still be by and only nothing when those losses are raised? They are none the less probably now than they were in 1862? and I could not believe the period and can thus coopernly prevent the subject of the war to be just in this age? If so the we know it the better. With the said Mr. Hugh relied upon it after it came from Smith Davis of Arkansas who even without awaiting the peris of the Idaho senator, abruptly purposeful the question Were you in the war? Oh, responded Mr Heyburn that is the state question of the chief reporter. As for his participation in the war he stated that he had been too song for that but that youth even though he wa he had been very enough to suit while the war was in progress. From the consideration of the ending resolution, Mr Heyburn turn- ed temporarily to the question of the wisdom of placing a statue of Glen Lee in the Hall of Fame in the National Capitol He did not mention Gen Lee by name but left no doubt that he had him in mind He spoke of the fact that the objec- object of his remarks had been an offi- officer in the army of the United States when the war broke out, and said that he had done much to remay more serious that conflict which cost the country millions upon millions of money and thousands upon thou- sands of lives. He appended to the people of Virginia and the South to take the statue back. "In sending us figures for the National Hall of Fame, I would advise you," he said, "not to overlook your Marshalls, your early Lees, your Monroes, and your Honrys. Don't violate a sentiment which you know to exist and which exists to day as it did in the sixties. WANTH STATUE RECALLED "I ask you, in the interest of loy- alty and harmony, to say to the people who have sent here this image to come and take it away; it may be dear to you, but it is not dear to us. Take it and worship it if you please, but do not intrude it upon the people who do not want it. Take him home, place him in the most sacred spot, give him the dearest place in your local temples. But, for God's sake, don't again start this spirit, out of which the terrible troubles" of the past arose." Doeclaring that he would stand against such legislation as was proposed if his wore the only voice to be raised in opposition, and that he would vote against it if no other sen- Nothing on earth is so valuable as a human mind. If a diamond is worth polishing at great trouble and cost, much more is the mind of a boy or young man worth all the polishing that the schools can give it. The best education is not too good for a promising youth. Who would choose a poor physician to save a few cents when health is in danger? And who would choose an inferior school to save a few dollars when a better school will increase the strength or character and of mind for life and prepare one for a larger usefulness? ```markdown ``` COLORED YOUNG MEN IT HAS A FINE ACADEMY course including for those who have completed common school subject ITS COLLEGE course is broad and comple ments and standing are as high as those of any youth in the state, according to the rating of the ITS THEOLOGICAL course has for many standard course for colored Baptist schools.
