DEDGE EXHIBITED THE HORNED NEGRO Dentist Is Held in Connection With Counterfeiting Case. Brown House, Macon, Ga., February 25.—(Special.)—In the investigation made by Assistant District Attorney Alexander Akerman and special government agents into the counterfeiting case at Valdosta yesterday which resulted in committing Dr. J. R. Dedge to the grand jury under bond of $4,000, the officers found that the accused man is the same person who exhibited a horned negro over the country several years ago in a show. The negro, it was said, had undergone an operation by which a silver plate was inserted under the scalp and then ordinary horns of a young cow were rivited into this plate under the skin. The operation was so neatly done that the negro when put on the closest inspection actually seemed to have grown the horns. He gave his master away recently and the show was broken up. Dedge is considered skillful in the work for which he is to be held for the grand jury. Child Wanted. I would take a child to rear, even if it be a baby. Will give the best satisfaction.

C., February 21.—(Special.)—Henry Johnson, a negro lawyer of Atlanta, will be the next recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. He has been approved by Postmaster General Hitchcock, and his name will be sent to the senate tomorrow by the president. The influence of the postmaster general is powerful, if not controlling in the matter of the distribution of patronage. He was highly impressed with the qualifications of Johnson and recommended him to the president, with whom he took lunch today. NEGRO KILLS DEPUTY SHERIFF Then Attacked Other Officers, Who Shot Him to Death. Memphis, Tenn., February 25.—In a desperate battle early today between a negro and deputy sheriff ten miles east of this city, Deputy Sheriff W. H. Lucy, of Germantown, was killed by Aaron Norfleet, a negro, who then attacked Deputies Ray and O'Neil and was killed by them. The affray was the result of an effort on the part of the officers to arrest Norfleet on a charge of larceny. After having had the warrant read to him by Deputy Lucy, Norfleet agreed to accompany the officers and asked permission to go into the cabin to get his hat. Not suspecting trouble, the officers consented to this move. Norfleet entered the house and reappeared in a minute with a single-barrel shotgun in his hand. HEAD BLOWN OFF. Before Lucy could make a move the negro raised the gun and fired upon him at close range, literally blowing the officer's head from his shoulders. Swinging his empty gun as a club, the black man leaped upon Deputies Ray and O'Nell, knocking the former down and leaping over his prostrate body. Both the officers had drawn their revolvers as soon as they saw Norfleet appear with the gun. As Norfleet passed over the form of Ray, O'Nell fired at him with his revolver, but his aim was poor. Deputy Ray began firing before he had regained his feet and both officers continued to pour bullets after the fugitive, who was disappearing in the darkness. After ten revolver shots had been fired at him, Norfleet fell to the ground, pierced by three bullets, dying within a few minutes. White Grand Lodge to Make War on Negro K. of P. The Grand Lodge of K. of P. of New Jersey, held its annual session at Trenton last week; at this session it was decided by that body to wage war upon the colored lodges in the state using the name of Knights of Pythias, which, it is claimed is an unauthorized infringement of the title of the original order. The colored Pythians are not recognized as a branch or in any way associated with the Knights of Pythias. It was decided to leave the subject to be dealt with by the grand tribunal, which will prepare a bill to be introduced in the legislature making it unlawful for any unauthorized organizations to use the name or signia of the Knights of Pythias. It is said that the introduction of such a measure will be followed by a fight such as that of last year, when the order of Elks sought to secure the passage of a law eliminating the colored Elks. The bill was passed, but was not approved by the governor. In the mean time the grand lodge directed that the funds available for the purpose, which have been in the custody of the grand chancellor, be placed under control of the grand master of exchequer—Red Bank, N.

Senator Gordon's Farewell Picturesque Valedictory of a Two Months Senator. Washington, Feb. 24.—Gen. James Gordon, the venerable Senator from Mississippi, arose from his seat in the Senate this afternoon and delivered a farewell address. It was hardly an address, though. It was more like a heart to heart talk at a small town gathering or prayer meeting. For more than half an hour the aged Mississippiian held the attention of the Senate, which seemed at first to be hesitating between surprise at the character of the speech and admiration of the Senator's unalloyed frankness. Finally, however, the simplicity and homeliness of the speech caught the dignified members, and they applauded, not once but twice. This violation of the rules of the Senate brought no rebuke from the presiding officer. Old timers in Washington say it is the first time they have known the Senate to indulge itself in this way in many years. "Love one another," was the sentiment that Gen. Gordon chose to leave with the Senate after his two brief months of service. He included within the scope of his text John D. Rockefeller, whom he pitied because of the suffering that money had brought upon him, and also Senator Heyburn of Idaho, who recently protested on the floor of the Senate against the loaning of Government tents to Confederate veterans and against the erection of a statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee in Statuary Hall. The retiring Mississippi Senator had a kind word for almost everybody who had come in for criticism during his term of service in Washington and the whole was interspersed with delightful anecdotes of his own personal experiences and aspirations. When Senator Gordon began the speech there was only a sprinkling of Senators in the chamber. It wasn't long, however, before the news of the speech reached the corridors and the committee rooms and it needed only the first round of applause to bring nearly every Senator who was in the building to his seat. Senator Root sat only a few seats away from the Mississippi and he, together with Senator Lodge, Senator Hale, Senator Cullum and a few others on whom the dignity of the Senate rests heavily, paid little attention to the speaker at first. Some of them were studying law books, but finally they joined with the others in paying a tribute to Gen. Gordon. Even Senator Heyburn, who looked displeased when the Mississippi began to talk on Confederate affairs, joined in the line that shook the Senator's hand when he was through. Senator Depew at the conclusion of Gen. Gordon's speech arose and said that it was the most unique speech ever delivered in the Senate and expressed the regret of the Senate at parting with the General. "No matter who his successor may be," said Senator Depew, he can't be Gen. Gordon." Senator Gordon told in the beginning how he came to be a United States Senator. He started out to go to the Senate when he was five years old. "I will tell you a story," said he. "You may tell your children, and you old fellows can tell your grandchildren." The Senator went on to say that when he was a little chap his mother gave him a little pasteboard map. It had squares with numbers on it and a picture of the Capitol at the top. The numbers represented all the passions that had escaped from Pandora's box, all the temptations that would befall a youth who is growing up. There was also a little totem with numbers on it that he used to spin. "If you spun it," said he, "and it landed on one of the bad places in the square—that is, one of the bad passions—you had to go back, but if you escaped the bad places you went on up to the great Capitol of the United States at the top and (Continued on Fifth Page.) The Rejection of Vardaman. The State of Mississippi and the Democratic Party are to be congratulated upon the election of Mr. Leroy Percy of Greenville, to the seat occupied by the late Anselm J. McLaurin in the United States Senate. When the Legislature met at Jackson on January 4th the choice of former Governor James K. Vardaman seemed more than probable. In fact, the opposition entered the contest with a feeling that his triumph was a question or only a few days, perhaps hours. Needing $5 votes to elect Mr. Vardaman had 72 on the first ballot, and none of the other aspirants, of whom there were seven or eight, could come more than a third of his strength. All of the candidates addressed the Legislature on the issues of the law, to give it a taste of their quality. The speech of Mr. Percy, who had never held public office, was conservative in tone but not without fire and courage, and in striking contrast to the remarks of the former Governor, who talked about his hobby, the negro The Two Locations. PRICE OF FOOD! IN THE CITY question, with characteristic narrowness of view. On the first ballot and in fact until his success came with the last. Mr. Percy received more votes than any other candidate opposing Mr. Vardaman. Gradually, as the balloting went on from day to day, the Percy total rose until it was more than fifty on February 17, when Representative Bush of Jeff Davis county introduced a resolution reciting that whereas the people of Mississippi were weary of a deadlock that interfered with the business of legislation, the lowest candidate be dropped after each ballot. A vote on Mr. Bush's resolution was prevented amid great disorder, but it was apparent that the end was near. It is to Mr. Leroy Percy's credit that he did not hesitate in an early stage of the contest to take issue sharply with Mr. Vardaman on the negro question and proclaim him an enemy of progress and unworthy on the score of his radicalism to represent Mississippi in the Senate. As there must have been a number of men in the Legislature beside Mr. Vardaman's supporters who shared that gentleman's opinions upon negro education, Mr. Percy's course was impolitic, to say the least; but he is known among his neighbors as a man of bold and resolute conviction. Mississippi has now rejected James K. Vardaman twice and bestowed seminarships upon conservative Democrats, John Sharp Williams and Leroy Percy. The conservatism of John Sharp is at times open to challenge, as he is first of all an intense party man and not above petty tricks of rhetoric, but Mr. Percy has never been a politician, and there seems to be nothing pinchbeck in his conservatism. Although the latter has his spurs to win at Washington, Mr. Williams will have to control a loose tongue and think before he speaks if he is $t_0$ outshine the modest lawyer and planner of Greenville, if we may judge Mr. Percy's calibre from the competitive speech he made to the Legislature.

We are informed that the St. Luke organization have plans under advisement $t_0$ erect a spacious and ornamental structure where it now stands.

Dear Sir:— We who desire to form with you in the great country a communication which will be highly useful to you and to us, to that country among our race and because it is absolutely necessary to prove that civilization is not for the monopoly of a single race. Since that in America, especially nothing is achieved without our race the Negro, much less when treating on the question between the United States and Cuba. The object or this letter is that it would have its desired effect (ie) to establish an interchanging of ideas, intelligence, literary, economical, social and above all, to prepare a better future in which all the Negroes may enter, particularly those in the United States and these in Cuba. A psycology parted among all, and in an alternative manner, imaterial of pain and pleasure under the national discretion which commands the wealth of negotiation and relationship and intelligence, that by your intervention, communication and good intention and disposition toward us, who shall have established between a thirty fold of men over here, and you the same number over there with the resources that could be obtained among them and us. Cuba offers today to men of our race a vast field for all kinds of business, be it commercial, intellectual, or otherwise, it is only to place us in touch with the two countries and people of our race, and we shall do our parts to point out the means of success to our American brethren. Now in conclusion, we beg that you would be kind enough as to transmit this letter or spirit of the same to all persons of our race, who are of the capacity heretofore mentioned to the end, that we may write in a harmonious band of advancement, as we were always kept apart from you for the purpose of weakening our force. But now we have discovered the plan of the white people, therefore, we desire to be united with all persons of our race and of some prestige and we sheaf eventually come to the front. Sir we have the honor to await your communication. Provision Amaregura's Street. No. 63 The Rev. W. H. Dean, pastor of Jackson Street M. E. Church, Lynchburg, Va., was in the PLANET office this week.

When we know by this scene salvation was completed and properly filled. The pastor officiated, the deacons and visiting brethren assisted. Rev. Frank Davis asked blessing over the bread. Rev. Peter Steward spoke encouragingly and sang sweetly. Rev. Young, of M. Calmel Baptist Church prayed, asking blessing on the wine. Rev.

CHAPTER XVIII. LEFT alone with the prosecutor, Mitriam asked permission to lock the door, and, although surprised at such a request, Murgatroyd went over to the door and locked it. Then, motioning politely for her to be seated, he took a chair opposite to hers and asked severity. "Mirra Challoner' what do you mean by this? Do you recall the compact made nearly six years ago?" "Tea yes," she answered in a manner that showed plainly her desire to conciate him "Your husband went free," Murray trod continued and when we made our compact we did not know whether he was innocent or not, whether it was within the power of the law to hold him or to free him. But I kept my part of the compact in good faith, innocent or guilty, he finally went free. "Yes, yes. I know," she returned eagerly. "Part of the compact was silence and yet twice in this building you have broken your word, and heavens know how many times outside." "That's more than Shirley does." And Murgatroyd smiled grimly. He erged her strangely "What do you want of me?" "Yes, yes, I must get to the point," she answered timidly and then looked up at him as if searching for some expression on his face which would help her to go on but she saw there only impatience, and it was with some trepidation that she proceeded "Of course you know how spendiplid Lawrence has done last four years—what a man he has made of himself. Why, certainly you know, because he helped you with that concrete affair and— She paused to see the effect of her words but again they had been received with apparent Indifference. Nevertheless she said proudly 'Lawrence has gone into business for himself.' she also added quickly perennially tapping the desk before her with her fingers and Lawrence can get that hope for her. wants it wrong. For the know it does not right Mr Murgatrop, it would be the making of his business." She paused while her mind strugged helplessly to find the tiring words with which to frame the difficult request that was to come "Lawrence needs a bondman to get that job, a man with $100,000 to go on his bond. And you know it is very hard particularly for him, to find a man who is worth that much to go on his bond, a bond that he will do the work and do it right (oh Mr. Margarroyd, would it be asking too much of you to-" Margarroyd gazed at her steadily. "And you are asking me to go on a $100,000 bond for your husband." The tone of his voice told Mrilman what she had to expect, and her heart grew chill, but she braced herself to go on. "Yes," she answered, and her voice was very gentle and very winning as she proceeded. "And if he could get a little money—just a little to buy materials. We have $500, but that money is far too hard, and I don't want him to get discouraged. He wouldn't ask these things for himself. No, indeed! You'll go on his bond, won't you? she asked, with a wan smile. "And loan him a few thousand dollars to start the job!" There was a long silence. Finally There was a long silence. Finally Murgatroyd刮 in an even voice: "You want me to go on his bond and loan him some thousands of dollars too." Mrs. Challoner inclined her head. "Why, Mrs. Challoner." Murgatroyd exclaimed, holding up his hands in amazement, "I haven't got the money I couldn't go on a bond for a hundred thousand dollars and as for lending him money." Mrs. Challoner the prosecutor in refusing was acting merely within his rights. However, her feminine distinct had made her conscious of some indoable change in him, so she persisted: "If only you could—" Mirtan ceased abruptly as he sprang to his feet and paced up and down, gazing at her face as she passed her. After awhile he came and stood over her, apparently trying to make up his mind regarding a certain course of action. Finally he said, with great feeling: "Mrs. Challoner, you are the bravest woman I have ever known. Please call Lawrence. Call them both back." Meanwhile outside in the waiting room Lawrence Challoner walked dismally to and fro. A wave of pity took possession of him-pity for myself and I was in a new review of pity for the little wife who had stood so moly by him. In a measure entering into his thoughts, though her own were somewhat complex, Shirley Moore from where she sat in a flat corner of the room also waited nervously for the door to open. And it was then that he, for his glistening, a happy smile on her face, whispered, "Where Lawrence?" she whispered. willing hands, she led them into the prosecutors office. Miriam Chaitoner's intimation that good news would be forthcoming was indeed rather vague. Nevertheless unconceptually both were affected by mood and came into the room smiling. Murgatroyd, sitting on the edge of the table, his arms folded, angled out Baldwin and said. "Ready for the junching, Miss Bloodgood." Burley secured to answer "Would you mind looking that door?" Murgatroyd called to Chaitoner, and turning to the ladies, "Mrs Chaitoner, take that chair, please," pointing to one nearest to him, "and, Miss Bloodgood, that," indicating one next to Miriam's. Chaitoner then came forward and placed his chair between the two women. Murgatroyd became calm, even stern Addressing Chaitoner whom he looked well in the eye, he began "Mrs. Challenger has asked me to go on a $1000 construction bond for you, also to loan you considerable money." There was a dramatic pause. "There it is, announced Murgegratry in the same business tone and, M. H. H. "Those boxes. What is in them?" stepping aside from the table revealed two old battled dust covered, sheet iron boxes. "Those boxes!" exclaimed Mrs. Challoner who was visibly excited. What is in them? she asked in bewilderment. "I don't know." returned Murgatroyd calmly. There was no question in the minds of the prosecutor's visitors but that these boxes were the same that Mirlam had brought to him so long ago filled with negotiable securities to the extent, as Mirlam was not likely to forget, of $800,000, but as to their present contents all naturally were at a loss to conjecture. Shirley broke out with "Do you mean to say that you don't know what is in them?" "Miss Bloodgood, there's only one person in this room who knows that," he replied quietly. Then, turning to Mrs. Challoner, he went on in the same tone: "Do you see these seals?" "Yes," she whispered. "Unbroken, are they not?" "Yes," again she assented falsely. "Well, then, you know what is in side of them. I do not." "If faltered Miriam. 'Why'— Then followed a moment of racking suspense for all except perhaps Murgatroyd. "Mrs. Challoner," he resumed, "you told me once that there were $80,000 in negotiable securities in these boxes. If what you then said was true there they are, coupons and all." "But, Mr. Murgatroyd," protested Mrs. Challoner, "you said that you did not have any money." Murgatroyd smiled. "Like the truth. But you"— and now, to Challenger's great surprise, Murgatroyd flicked his eyes on him and said in a voice that impressed them all the more, insinuas that it was filled with a kindly confidence rather than with distrust; "There's $800,000 in those boxes, Challoner, belonging to your wife. Can you stand having it back again?" Challoner looked pursued, for, as Miriam had told Shirley, he had had no reason to believe that his wife's fortune had not all been spent by them. Slowly he began to understand, but he was too overcome to speak. Presently he found his voice and said: "Can I stand?" — "Yes, interrupted Muratargoyot; "you knew what, did you for you before what, did you to?" He broke off shrupply, and turning to Shirley, he said: "I told you once, Mice Blood-gold, that there was, but one way to care a bad millionlilies, but one way to reform him, and that was to take away his millions. Well, I took away his." All are now resated on: Challenger, politvill, psh, hp, arounding, arounding, AMMED lost in thought, and who can tell what dreams may come to one suddenly lifted from the depths of poverty back agile to influence. But in any event, looking the prosecutor straight in the face, he said in an easy, determined manner: Murgatroyd, a little while ago you asked whether I could stand having all this again. The past five years of my life is my answer to that." This reply brought to his face a look of pride, and unconsciously she straightened up in her chair, while Shirley sighed perceptibly. "Laurie" went on Murgatroyd, still probing, but not unkindly, "what are you going to do with all this money?" "You'll have to ask a stalker whom it is," he brought, and then, with a charming smile, he added, "I have learned that a man's mission is to make money, and a woman's"—Suddenly Challoner grew thoughtful again. Was actuated by a praiseworthy desire to save his wife and him from the results of his disillusion. And no理由. Challoner grabbed impassionately Murgatroyd's hand, saying, "Not another word, old man. It's all right." "Thank you," Murgatroyd said, visibly affected, and then added: "Only one thing more remains to be done. This may must ask you to break these scars." "Oh, no, Mr. Murgatroyd" she said, "Surely you must know that I believe your." But Murgatroyd insisted, and, obeying him finally, Miriam broke the scals, and presently she showed to them the securities undisturbed, just as Murgatroyd had taken them, dollar for dollar, bond and bond. Suddenly Murgatroyd felt a touch on the arm. "And I believe you, Billy," said Miriam. Bhilley lifted his understanding. "It was my love wanted me to be a voice so thanked the scars best down all othr "And will you lip that told you. For answer he, and she can stooped down an between his hand and klosed the lilng lovingly: "Her soul woul wrong." "A moment herself out of his hand on each laughingly, lookin' and we'll go to "Yes, dear," he going to Washin' again. "To think of the time," he said half aloud, "that it took Miriam and me to save $600." "That five hundred that you saved," commented Murgatroy solemnly, "is worth more to you than all this $600,000." "There's no mistake about that either. Murgatroy," spoke up Chaileron promptly, but bending over his wife, he added, with a fascinating smile: "Miriam, you're going to let me build that hospital, aren't you? Simultaneously with Miriam's monosyllabic answer Murgatroy glanced at Chaileron sharply, not forgetting quite naturally how easy in the past it had been for the husband to get whatever he wanted from his wife, however, were only monosyllabic, for presently he pushed the boxes to hear them, saying. "There it is. It all belongs to you." But in all this Shirley had been strangely silent. "Mr. Murgatroy," she now said jelly, "do you mean to tell us that your only motive in taking this money was to save Mr. Chaileron?" Murgatroyd took a few steps toward her and regarded her cooyly. "No. and you alone were right. I was irredible I was corrupt I was a wife." CHAPTER XIX "No, no!" cried Shirley, relenting. "Yeah." he went on mercilessly "it is true. It was my ambition that did it. Be "Like Adam I'm blaming it on Eve. This woman wanted me to be—well, really 'great'— "You—" "Yes, he persisted. "I was bribed I took the money Oh. You don't know about me You don't know what I was five years ago' it seemed to me then that money was the only thing that could make me really great. I knelt at the stair of money—loved it as a diplomatic loves his bottle." He pressed Then he continued in a low voice "Yes I took money to acquit Challenge and then I convicted him Why? Because the institute within me to do my days was too strong to allow me to do otherwise All the evidence was against him He had confessed I had to contend him." "And the money" - ventured Shirley "Like a dipod diplomanica - a referred dipodmanica - I put that money as he might have his bottle on the shet- lorked. There it was. I could have it any time I wanted it!" His face became more serious as he proceeded "Then I kept on being a thief, for there he now was overpowering that gave him control of the reformed dipodmanica I was determined to see what I could do without it. It became a passion with me. I knew that every more I made meant the expenditure of money. A hundred times - yes, a thousand times - I have many fingers on those seats, about to break them, and then have crawled away - once more to do without the money. Somehow I knew that my time must come. Besides, there was that overwhelming ambition - prompted by a woman." Bhilley hug her head. "Yes," he went on fiercely, "a woman who must have her due. It was up to me to be something more than a mere person. Anybody could be honed, she told me, but not everybody could be great!" Shirley ventured to look up at him; but meeting his gaze fixed on her face, she shifted her eyes instantly. "Then there was the United States senatorship—the finest office in the state—which I knew I could buy with the money. I had sold my soul to Agnus and again I had faced the face and went to that wait there, determined to break the senses of the covers on those houses to buy the United States senatorship. But I could not bring myself to do it. Something always said to me 'You must do without it' You must be honest! You must make a clean fight! Yet still I was a thief, holding thousands that didn't belong to me. But always upon me was that all absorbing passion—a passion not only for the money but for the which was at my finger's end, an incentive without which I could not succeed. And so," he concluded, "I want in and won without it." Probably batter than any one present Challenger realized to the full what Murgatroyd had suffered. Manlike, however, he was more than willing to permit the great work that Murraytod had done to overwatch company operations. Of course Challenger was quite well aware that the prosecutors actions viewed in the light of a successful campaign wore an entirely different aspect than they would had he failed to obtain the senatorship. In the latter case it was inevitable, no matter what moral satisfaction he could derive from the return of the biography, that he never once identified 15-that in addition to the hindrance of a ruined career the prosecutor would have to, endure, the mortification of knowing this his loss, of self-import was whole. But in any such Challenger, was too generous to accept without reservation Murraytod conceived. was a suspect by a prisoner worthy. Or he gave save his wife and him from the results of his dissipations, and so stalked. Challenger rarbed Impulsively Murgatroyd said, saying, "Not another word, old man. It's all thank you." Murgatroyd said, "Only one thing more remains to be done. Mrs. Challenger, I must ask you to break these, scam." "Oh, no, Mr. Murgatroyd!" she said, "Surely you must know that I believe you!" But Murgatroyd insisted, and, obeying him finally, Miriam broke the scam, and presumably she showed to him that she had been accused of Murgatroyd had taken them, dollar for dollar, bond and bond. Buddently Murgatroyd felt a touch on the arm. "And I believe you, Hilly," said Shirley contritely. An enigmatic smile passed across the prosecutor's face. "Do you know?" he said dryly. A slight poker showed on Miss Bloodgood's beautiful show, but she replied, quite unrolled: "Why, of course I do. After all, you were honest, weren't you? And, not waiting for his answer, added ingenuously, 'You were not a thief.' Murgatroyd's face became very sarcastic. "Yes, I was" he protested. "I was a thief." And with that turned to Challoner and said in a voice of great feeling: "Challoner, this money is your wife; take it. And, great God, man," he groaned, "don't don't forget what it did to you—what it made you years ago." Mrs. Challoner salved. Challoner, hesitating, advanced and said: "We'll take it. I'm not a bit afraid now. Murgatroyd, for I know." And then, holding on his hand, he continued kindly, "Hilly, if you had taken it where would I have been today?" "Free-free as you are now," said the other man in a low, strained tone. "Yen," assented Challoner, "out of prison." Mr. Challoner quickly rose and put an end to the conversation. "Come, Laure," she said abruptly, and holding out her hand. "Goodbye, Mr. Murgatroyd. I'm afraid we have taken up altogether too much of your time." Murgatroyd shook hands with the Challengers. But on Shirley making her adieu he said: "May I have a moment with you, Miss Bloodgood? Won't you wait, please?" Mrs. Challoner answered for the girl! Murgatroyd, don't be in any hurry. Laurie and I will wait for you in the room. And as they passed out Challoner called. "Wait until you see that concrete hospital, Murgatroyd!" For momma that seemed hours Shirley and Murgatroyd stood facing each other, neither having the courage to speak, the girl]d with shame at the great wrong she had done to the man she loved, while he, feeling as if the burden that had rested upon his soul had the last rolled away, was drawing deep-breath—breathing like a man who has suddenly come out of darkness into daylight. Shirley was the first to break the silence, and now, looking up at Murgatroyd with a little shake of the head, she asked: "Billy do you care to know what I think of you?" "I think it was a far finer thing to take the money and not touch it." It is declared with true feminine logic, "than never to have taken it at all." "But what if this habit should grow upon me?" he reported smugly. "Individually Bloodgood doesn't know what graft availows me in Washington." Shirley laughed softly. "To think that you accomplished all this without money?" she said happily. "But the worst is yet to come." he observed. "It means that one has to keep up the social game, the club game, the political game, and Lord knows what other games on $7,500 a year. An unmarried man must starve, and heaven help the married seater!" TOMMY "He soul would not let me go strong." He and his family must live on a back street in the capital and froze. That's what faces a senator who lives on his siury. "But doesn't poverty always travel hand in hand with greatness?" she remarked "enthustiastralis" and with a verb diction "for anything that; she may have and therefore to the contrary." "Murgatroyd looked at her with admiration. Never before had she seemed to him so lovely." "Where one thing—one thing that I didn't know—was that he allowed me to be who I was." He allowed me to be who I was. Then he gave me something that another senator may have known for years from abroad. Whitney lifted her eyes to his in quick understanding. "It was my love for the woman who came to me to be my friend, a woman who said she recognized it with emotion that she scarcely recognized it as belonging to him. "That was the motive that beat down all others." "And will you forgive the foolish line that told you to go wrong?" For answer he held out his arms to her, and she came to them. Then he stooped down and, catching her face between his hands, raised it slowly and kissed the tails tenderly, murmuring, "Her soul would, not let me go wrong." After a moment Shirley slowly drew herself out of his arms and, placing a hand on each of his shoulders, asked laughingly, looking deep into his eye: "And we'll go to Washington?" "Yes, dear," he smiled back. "We're sure to stay together, on that back street. Yes, my revenge is now complete." Before he could kiss her a second time Shirley darted to the door, opened it and called: "Miriam, Laurie, come here—come back!" One look at the face of the girl that she had left in the office was sufficient to tell Miriam that she had grown news of innocence. Nevertheless she asked innocently. "What for, my dear? Are you going to lyche him?" Blushing furiously, Shirley waved her hand at the boxes on the table and said: "Billy says that you've gone off and forgotten all your money." THE END. Irish Cook Drew No Color Line Court Decides That James E. Johnson is the Legal Heir to the Estate of Bridget Torpey, According to Her Last Will. True Friendship Richly Rewarded. Next of Kin and Nurse, Routed. Afro-American throughout the country will no doubt be interested in the recent decision of Surrogate Thomas of New York, in which he holds that James Edward Johnson, an Afro-American, is the legal heir under the last will of Bridget Torpey, the superannuated Irish cook, who bequeathed her fortune of $20,000 to him. The decision comes after a bitterly contested fight, in which the next of kin, two brothers and a nephew of the deceased will, and Margaret M. Bennett, a trained nurse of 40 West Twenty-fourth Street, New York, who introduced a will purporting to have been executed several months later than the document which left the estate to Johnson. Surrogate Thomas now throws out the will presented by Miss Bennett, which left the bulk of the estate to her, as decides that Johnson, who, with the help of a friend, bridges "best and last friend" to the proper person to have the estate. Bridget Torpey came, to the United States when she was eleven years old, and for over twenty-five years she worked in the kitchen of Mira N. B. Taft's boarding house, at 46 West Twenty-fifth street. During this time she worked for the amount $16,500 was in cash in banks. In his decision the surrogate comments on Bridget's cleverness in amassing the considerable fortune which she left. He repeats the testimony, showing that after she left Mira Taft's Bridget went to live with Miss Bennett in One Hundred and Second street shortly before Jan. 4, 1908. She was a teacher in an apartment hired by Johnson in Eighteenth street, because, it is stated, she was unhappy in her previous abode. "There was unquestionably an understanding between her and Johnson that if he would care for her during her lifetime he should inherit the estate," says the surrogate. "I do not understand what the deceased chose to reside with Johnson. He had worked with Johnson and other Negroes for a quarter of a century and was accustomed to them. She only went to live with Johnson after she had diligently sought a place elsewhere." In the Bennett home, according to the decision, Bridget was constantly important for money and her trunk ransacked. This, says the surrogate, destroys her conditions in the household. "Her characterization that it was a 'bell on earth' is not to be wondered at," says Surrogate Thomas. The testimony showed that Bridget next moved to a Mrs. Kelloy, where a son threatened her that it money was not forthcoming and that immediately the old woman would be thrown downstairs. Then it was that Bridget arranged with her friend Johnson, with whom she had worked for some years, to engage a flat, and it could only be had by him where Negroes were accustomed to live. "Apart from the fact that Johnson and her-neighbors were black," says Burgeat Thomas, "the arrangement gave the old lady comfort. There she cooked her meals as she liked them and was happy and contented and treated with great respect and kindness." The only offence against propriety with which Johnson is charged in his relations with her is that he was not white."

Don't they--" Kepa, papa, yes!" interrupted his daughter. "They're very nice people, have no fault to find what he, but--" her voice trembled. her many little nose and gassed silently at the fire. "Uh huh!" grunted the colonel. "I understand. They just isn't in your class, accordi' to your way of lookin' at it. But, honey, I wouldn't twist my face up that way if I was you. I'll make wrinkles quicker than anything in the world, and the worst kind of wrinkles too. You know, there's wrinkles and wrinkles. Some wrinkles and wrinkles. Some wrinkles. Yes, hones, that's a fact. And then there's some that make the most beautiful face look like. You're developin' some of that kind when you turn up your nose in that way. Uh, huh I thought that make you drop it. And now you're making some of the kind that add to beauty the wrinkles that come from smiles. SELF-INFUSED PRESIDENT WAYB "Yes, indeed, my dear, the turned up nose is a dangerous thing. It not only makes ugly wrinkles on the face, but it makes ugly wrinkles on the brain. Never thought about it that, did you not. I reckon not, but it’s true. I never saw a human brain; but never saw a bat. ULLY WINKLEES ON man brain, but they say it's all covered over with wrinkles, and the scientific fellowships a lot of theories about them. But I've got a notion that they're caused by the same thoughts and feelin' and emotions that put the lines on the countenance. Anshway, if an elevated nose don't make its mark on the outside of the brain it does on the inside, and it amounts to the same thing, for the movements of the face that go to make up what we call expression are nothin' more than the sign of the workin' of the mind. When you curl up your little prosecco bottle, sign that you was thinking yourself a little better, maybe a whole lot better, than the people we was talkin' about. "Now, hostet, I want to tell you that that's a pretty risky attitude for anybody to take. I believe in a man thinkin' well of himself or a woman thinkin' well of herself, but when you begin to make comparisons between yourself and other folks to the disadvantage of the other folks you getin' on dangerous ground, for two reasons. In the first place, you're cultivating an opinion of yourself that isn't warranted by the facts. You're settin' yourself up on a pedometer, these line maps will be visible to pieces; and down you'll drop like a load of bricks, for whenever a man or a woman rates himself in his mind above his fellows he's gottin' ready for a fall. If he don't topple over of himself somebody will pull out the props from under him. and then the people he’s been lookin’ down on will look down on him and laugh —just laugh. That’s the second you’re turned up nose in bad business. It spots you, and then it spots your friends, for the habit of thought that expresses itself in the turned up nose is fatal to the kind of self esteem. that everybody ought to fail to friendshin. anu ple booth will ou hi -Ju That's reason turns bad spoiled then your the thou press the nose the cried crybc have til A WRONG FAIRFOLIO. alu "You see, honey, an elevated nose is a good deal like one of those old fashioned blunderbuses—it hits a whole lot of people that you don't aim at, and whoever it hits it hurts. Nobody can tell where it's going to strike; and so they get in the habit of dodging whenever it comes around. There's a good many folks you can scold and abuse and they'll take it good natured and keep on being friends, but just let 'em get the notion that you're smarter at 'em and it's all off. Most all of you have an idea that we're about as good as the next one, and nothin' makes us mudder than a turned up nose, and the greater the difference-between us in wealth or social station the mudder we get about it.

If you lose your footings of Your own importance and your own position, while everyone else can see, that you must care for the common run of folks and have the power to feel yourself, as better than they are, and so you get out of touch and out of sympathy with the rest of the world around you, and then you begin to sour.

"Now, then, gettip' right down to brass tasks, as the fellow says, the only reason you've got for elevat' your nose at the people we was talkin' about is, that they don't run in your set. Well, what if they don't? Is your set the standard by which all others have to be measured? I reckon not. It takes all kinds of people to make a world, as you've heard before, and some of the best ones in it make the least show. 'You can't tell by lookin' at the people you meet on the street many of them's beneath you and how many's above you. You can't tell by lookin' at a woman's cloth or countin' the money she's got in the bank whether you've got a right to look down on her or she's got a right to look down on you. You can't tell by lookin' a woman quote Whether she's better or worse than you. It isn't money or clothes or blood or culture that counts when it comes to measurin' up men and women.

The married beauty always looks upon her husband as the beast. No woman wants her offspring to pose as an object lesson at a motherexisting meeting. One of the things a man can't understand is why his enemies seem to have so many friends. The smile of a good woman will do a man more good than a dozen handed to him by a bartender.

Then the only alternative he has left is to go to work. Occasionally a married man does a lot of talking when he is away from home, because that is about the only chance he gets. Watering Streets In China The watering of the streets in China is still a very primitive business. The water is first drawn up in baskets from walls by means of a rope and pulley. This sounds somewhat ridiculous, but the baskets are very close to women and when wet form thoroughly 'serviceable vessels' possessing the valuable quality of lightness. The water is next carried in wooden tide and distributed by men armed with basket ladles attached to long wooden handles, with which they splash 'spoonfuls' of fluid over the dusty street. This code machinery is all the more astonishing when one reflects that Ai Chihaman is extremely clever in a mechanical way. He is able to make concrete conservatives and métro workers also conserve water through the application of special machines that are abnormally wide. World knowledge. A TALE of THE LAST FRONTIER BY. FRANCIS RENO BEING A REMINISCENCE OF AN EARLY BORDER EXPERIENCE OF A NOTED DETECTIVE BAT DALY AND THE BURRELL TWINS "I've come to fix up my account with you, Jack Burrell," Bat remarked coolly. Editor's note Francis Rono, the author, comes of a family of pilers and fighters, and is related to Maj Rono of Custer Massacre fame. His earlier years were spent in the turmoil that followed the Arizonian attack. He was for some time deputy sheriff and later deputy United States marshal, at Tucson. His efforts in enforcing the Chinese Exclusion Act on the Mexican border have been highly commended by the nation. He was awarded $2,000 by the Highlanders, who placed a price of $2,000 on his head, which stands to-day. Of late years he has held a highly responsible position with one of the largest bank protective associations in the United States, and as superintendent of the bank, he has been a record of success in running down bank burglaries. These stories are conduited to his earlier experiences in the west, the scenes of which are lain in Arizona and New Mexico near the Mexican border. His years was wild and lawless, and where the typical "bad man" of pioneer days made his last stand.) HE trouble had its beginning at a merrymaking when the boys of the Double L outfit were enjoying themselves to the limit at the Burrell ranch The dance was in full swing—a vohomem, rhythmic and dead-inearnest ranch dance. Eight couples on the floor tramped and tiptoed, as the case might be, but always in time with two unmoldulous tuns if five tuns it might T ```markdown ``` fiddles. The tuno, if tune it might be called, wont over and over again, with the monotonous persistence of a sawmill, dominating the tread of the dancers, but not subduing the fancy of the caller-out. The caller-out for the moment was a curly-headed lid of 20, with a shrewd, good-humored face. He stood in a slouching attitude, one shoulder much higher than the other, and as he gave forth, in a slung-song voice, his emphatic rhymed directions, his fingers played idly with the red-silk lickings of his-brown fannel shirt. To an imaginative looker-on those idly toying fingers had an indefinable air of being very much at home with the trigger of the six-shooter at the lad's belt. To at least, it struck young Cyrus Burrell. Cyrus Burrell, joint host with his brother on this occasion, sat on a bench beside me, compiling with wonder the energy of these overworked women. It was an April evening and the windows were open to the south. A cool night breeze came in, grateful alike to dancers and lookers. Cyrus sat watching his twin brother Jack, who was taking his turn at the dance. Cyrus usually watched Jack when he had the chance; for if the brothers were bewilderingly alike in appearance, they were animated by different spirits. From Cyrus' comments on the assembled guests I judged right that he found a strange fascination in this first ranch dance of his. He liked the heartiness of the whole performance, he enjoyed the sharp-cut individuality of the people, their eccentricities of costumes and deportment; but he was too, too sensitive a fiber not to keep the dramatic possibility of the occasion. Tenfold was his way, could not escape him that man in a flannel shirt, with a pistol at his belt- and most of the men wore them equipped—was more than likely to have a touch of lawlessness about him. There was a pause between the two figures of the dance. Jack had taken his partner's fan, which he was gently waving to and fro before her face. She stood panting with affected exhaustion, glancing at her "new young man" from under studiously fluttering eyelids. In over another corner, under a window, was a red-faced cowboy, slumbering tranquilly, his head unk on his breast, a genial forelock waving lightly in the breeze. The fiddles resumed their function. "Swing your pards," cried the curly-headed boy; and once more all was commotion. The room seemed hot and crowded. Cyrus arose and strolled alimously around the clear space of the floor. As he came to a halt opposite a window I noticed him start and look forward intently, and following the direction of his glance I saw that a stainer, malignant face in the square of light cast outside by the lamps had attracted his attention. It was the face of the man who the Burrell boys had seen to night for the first time. He had paid his 75 cents, and had received his numbered ticket like the others, by which simple ceremony all the requirements of ranch etiquette were fulfilled. Bat Daly, they called him, and the Burrell brothers, attracted by his brilliant smile and hearty handshake, had voted him a very pleasant sort of fellow. At this particular moment, however, he did not justify the verdict in point of appearance. It was Bat Daly who had brought the girl that Jack Burrell was dancing with, and Cyrus could not re member having seen bar dance with anyone else besides Daily himself They were light eyes looking out from under level eyebrows, and Cyrus frankly shuddered at the sight of them. The man's face was clean shaven, showing high cheek-bones and a firm handsome mouth. He stood in an indolent attitude, with his hands in his pockets; but all the recklews passion of the desperado was concentrated in the fiery glance of those menacing oys. "Meet your partner with a double saashay," cried the curly-haired boy. The addidas squeaked with untlring zeal, and Cyrus looked again at his brother, who was stirring outrageously. Cyrus walked back to the bench and resumed his seat beside me. His face was pale and troubled. "Frank," he said at last, "do you know anything about this person they call-Bat Daly?" I smiled at the seriousness of the tone in which the question was put. "I know him slightly, Cy," I responded, "and it wouldn't surprise me if I had to know him better in an official capacity one of these five days. He's a trouble maker, is Mr. Bat Daly, and rather celebrated for his willingness to start a shooting rocket on very small provocation. But if you are worrying about Jack paying attention to his girl, my advice to you is to forget it. Jack is quite well able to look after himself, and anything you can say or do wouldn't be likely to help matters any. Remember this time the cast and you're not exactly Cyrus shook his head desperately, pink made no further comment. The caller outwaited, shouting, "Promade all-you know where." The sets were broken up, and Jack with his best manner was leading his partner to a seat. The face had vanished from the window. Dat Daly was striding across the room, and now planted himself in front of the offending pair. "You've got to come with me, Nelly," he growled. "Pray, don't mention it," cried Jack, relinquishing the girl to Daly with a moeking revenge. Shrugging her shoulders and pouting, Nelly moved away with her caper; not however, without a parting glance over her shoulder at Jack. The letter walked over to where Cyrus ```markdown ``` and I wore string. "I say, Jack." Cyrus begged, "don't dance with that girl again" "And why not?" "You wouldn't ask if you had seen that ruslan's face at the window watching you" "Didn't I see it, though?" laughed Jack, and Cyrus glanced despairingly at me knowing that he had blundered, just as I had warned him. A now caller-out had taken the floor, and was shouting, "Seventeen to twenty four, got on the floor and dance." The pauses are short at a ranch dance, for each man, having a right in only one dance out of three or four, in eager for his turn. The women in this particular occasion might have been glad of a rest, for there were only ten of them to satisfy the demands of all the men, and steady dancing from eight o'clock to three is no light task. Nevertheless, each one rose with sufficient alacrity in response to the polite inquiry, "Will you assist me with this dance?" and in a few minutes the same many colored gowns and much beffrized heads which had diversified the last sets were lending luster to the present dance. Neither Bat Daly nor Jack Burrell was included this time among those admonished to "get on the floor and dance," and Cyrus, thankful for the respite, stopped outside where a group of men were lounging and smokin'. He strolled over to the group of bronches, in saddle or harness, standing hitched to the fence, and pushed in among them, patting their heads, or righting the blankets of the fow that were fortunate enough to have such luxuries. He felt as though he should like to enter into confidential relations-with them. They seemed, somehow, more of his own kind than the rough, fostling, pugnacious beings passing themselves off as men and brothers within there. He poked about from one to the other of the sturdy, plush-covered little boasts, till he came to a great white horse harnessed to a sulky, and looking like a giant in contrast with the scrubby bronces. The amiability which is suppose to wait upon generous proportions proved to be a characteristic of this equine Goliath, for at Cyrus' approach he cooked his cars and turned his head with marked relentlessness. Cyrus looked across the creature's rough neck to the firm, strong outlines of the range showing clearly in the moonlight. He was unable to throw off the weight that oppressed him. There was no shirking the truth. He was deadly afraid of Bat Daly; the sight of that lowering face at the window caused in him a horrible physical shrinking; the dread of an undeformed mischief browning rested upon his spirit like a nightmare. "Great heavens! What a coward I am," he groaned aloud. The white horse rubbed his velvet nose in mute sympathy against the man's shoulder, but there was no solace that the white horse could give. Cyrus leaned against the friendly neck, and set his teeth, hard together. A lifelong chagrin welled up in him, doodling his soul with bitterness. Cyrus Murrell had not adored his twin brother, he would, have hated him. Orders by Telephone or Telegraph filled. Weddings, Suppers and Entertainments promptly attended. Telephone, 686.

They take pleasure in saying what they think and take special pleasure in repeating these statements when they find that they are distasteful to the person to whom they are speaking. Too often this is the result of an abnormal dyspeptic temperament or a disordered liver. Then again it is a case of down right cussedness. These kind of people are usually fatigues and they look with envy and contempt upon everybody who he is a success. They finally become misinformed, hate everybody and die with no one to mourn them and but few to say even a word in their favor. It is unfortunate that there are not more broad hearted generous men and women who look on the bright side of life and who will do anything that is right to make some happy. That a great storm is brewing in the Republican Party and that there are breakers ahead for President Taft must be evident to even a novice. The Ballinger Pinchot controversy has assumed a proportion of importance that hopelessly involves not only Secretary Wilson, but the President himself. The storm centre of this whole business is the Hon Theodore Roosevelt, ex President of the United States, who is often now slowly but surely making his way westward to engage in one of the stormiest political campaigns ever known in the history of the government. There are hosts of Mr Taft's friends, who are Mr Roosevelt's enemies and if the present occupant of the White House should show any disposition to again be a candidate, there will be plenty of trouble in this country for somebody. --- IN THE TIDE CHANGING? | . Two events which have taken place in this country during the past few weeks have led us to enquire as to whether or not the feeling against the Negroes was on the wane. One of these was the defeat of Hon. James K Vardaman by the legislature of Mississippi. He based his campaign upon his hatred of the Negroes and over the length and breadth of the commonwealth told of his antipath, to one of the humbest races of people on the face of the globe. He also denounced the educational institutions established for their intellectual onlightment. Just as the Negro leaders who preside the hatred of the white men of the Southland have been side-tracked by conservative colored people, so this wide-mouthed Negro hating white leader has been discounted by the legislative combination that encompassed his defeat That ex Governor Vardaman was strongly supported though was evidenced by the fact that he was directed in the legislative caucus by just five votes. For all practical purposes though these surplus votes were as good as a million. It showed that he carried the campaign too far when he condemned the offspring of the black mammies many of whom had been the playmates of the white men who now occupy seats in the legislative halls of Mississippi The reports state that Mr Vardaman, when called before the legislature spoke against the Negro On the other hand, Hon Leroy Percy, who was finally nominated took issue with Mr Vardaman on the Negro question and declared him to be an abomination of progress and unworthy on account of his radicalism to represent the state in the United States state. This caused us to make the enquiry as to whether the tide against the Negroes was changing. We have sounded the warning to our north and colored friends that this day was at hand that we had reached the darkest hour of the plight of our racial misery and the dawn of a bright er and better day was at hand. This change of sentiment is further evidenced by the remarkable speech of Senator James Gordon, delivered February 21, 1910 in the United States Senate upon the occasion of his retirement after a brief service of two months. It is this in that it represents the advanced thinkers of the Southland, that element that is friendly toward the colored race even though it designates it as being the Negro origger. To a high strung northern citizen of color, the patronizing air of the old slave-owner is agravating. He cannot understand that love for one Negro and a dislike for another one can exist in the same body. But it cannot Gordon declared that his people didn't want to hurt the Negro. He might as well have said that his kind or class of people did not want to hurt him. What the Negroes of the Southland need is the more vigilant protection of those Negroes who are now within the confines of the state of Mississippi. It should not be forgotten that told James Gordon tried bless him but in mind the Negro of the old school His mind was wandering back to his own plantation where the cotton sairt and the red bandana formed a contrast in the cotton field or in the land of the sugar cane. He saw in his mind a eye some favorite servant at the big house with the dozen or more little black pickanin playing around With this picture before him he no doubt thought of his own family, the male and female members thereof, the friendly feeling that they bore to the colored people of the Gordon plantation It was then he exclaimed, 'We don't want to hurt the "nigger" Still then Gordon needs an introduction to the new Negro, the progressive, polite obliging, educated offspring of the black mummy. This new individual is not known as a nigger any more in polite society. He has shed the swaddling clothes of his race a defilement and stands under a federon a pling or a silk hat as either a professional or a business man. His clients or patrons are of his own race and he is aiding in the work of bringing together the better class of white people of the South land and the better class of colored people in that same section. He is building up by the aid of the liberal minded white people a nation within a nation and he looks with a amide of annuement at the efforts of the Negro-hating southernners of the Vafdman and Tillman type to block his progress and to paralyze his efforts by appealing to the worst innate prejudices of the basest passions of the white men or both sections. It is also significant that Ion B. R. Billman should have been striken with paralysis and his tongue practically commanded not to do service. It sooms that this notice should serve as a warning and that with his recovery, a changed man should occupy that seat from South Carolina. Be that as it may, conditions now exist which indicate that the end of our long night is as hard and that God in his own miserious way is relating us more friends for us in the Southland. It may not be time for us to rejoice, but certain it is the time for us to at least hope and pray that we are not mistaken. PINCHOT IN CLASH WITH MR.WILSON Says Secretary Consented to Dolliver Letter. PROBERS HAD HOT SESSION Wilson Declares He Never Did and Never Would Have Consented to the Writing of Such a Letter—Ballinger Charges Based on Partner's Letter. Washington, March 2—Gifford Pinchot testified before the Ballinger-Pinchot joint investigating committee that he had the consent of James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, and his superior officer, to write his letter to Senator Dolliver. This is the letter that resulted in Pinchot's dismissal by President. Taft from the forestry service on the ground of insubordination. Secretary Wilson, who is said to have voted in a cabinet meeting for Pinchot's dismissal, sat only a few feet from the former forester when he made this statement. Later the veteran cabinet member took the witness chair and, angry clear through, declared that he never had authorized the sending of the letter. It was the most dramatic incident that has occurred in the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation. The aged secretary fairly shouted his dental and brought his flat down on the table with a bang. The secretary, it is true, was obliged to qualify his denial. He had he admitted, given Mr Pinchot permission to write to Senator Dolliver giving him departmental information but he never intended the authorization to cover a letter which would "insult the president of the United States". There was a surprising development at the session when Pinchot announced to the committee that he based his charge that Secretary Ballinger had been guilty of making statements to the president that were "absolutely false in three essential particulars" not upon a letter from Mr Ballinger himself, but upon a letter written by J T Ronald, a former law partner of Mr Ballinger, to Dr Lyman Abbott. Mr Ronald, in his letter said that without knowledge of the records he felt no hesitation in contending in the half of Mr. Ballinger that (1) Mr. Jones the special agent, never made a report dealing with the Cunningham claims, that (2) the order revoking the clear listing of the Cunningham claims was not based on a protest by Glavis and that (3) Mr. Ballinger never appeared before a congressional committee in the interest of any Alaska claimants. Mr Pinchot said it appeared from a copy of Mr Ronald's letter which he read, that Mr Ronald based his statements on a magazine article containing charges against which were noted the marginal notes, no in Mr Ballinger's handwriting. Mr. Pinchot claimey that Jones in his testimony before the committee showed he had reported on the Cunningham abuse among that Mr. Ballinger admitted to a letter to the president that the letter listing order was revoked on the protest of Glavis and that Mr. Ballinger in his testimony before a congressional committee referred to a group of thirty-three claims which could have meant only the Cunningham interests. Mr. Pinchot said a copy of this letter with statements was forwarded by Mr. Ballinger to the president. Mr. Pinchot admitted when questioned by the committee that the three statements in the Ronald letter which he claimed to be false, had previously been covered by a letter written by Mr. Ballinger himself to the president in which Mr. Ballinger had stated what the witness admitted was a true statement of the facts. Mr. Pinchot said he did not attempt to reconcile these two facts. Before the development the interest had centered in the annual announcement by Mr Pinchot that he would not press for a decision as to whether or not he should allowed to give his version of conversations with President Taft and the introduction in 2013 by Mr Pinchot of a long letter written to him by President Taft in September last. In this letter President Taft denounced Glass as an disingenuous warner Mr Pinchot against making Glass's cause his own declared he was sorry Mr Pinchot did not have the same confidence and trust in Mr Ballinger as he did and lastly declared that controversies between the departments in Washington must cease. He referred in this particular to an alleged interview with Ormsby McHarg former assistant secretary of commerce and labor, in which Mr McHarg was reported to have said that Theodore Roosevelt "must have thought himself the Lord." The witness next told of his interview with Glavis at Spokane Wash., on Aug. 9, 1909. The meeting was not by appointment and Mr Pinchot said he possibly had met Glavis once before, he was not sure. Glavis laid all his evidence before him, Mr Pinchot said, and spoke of publishing the entire narrative. "I was deeply impressed by what Glavis said and urged him to go to the president. I did this because I thought a scandal would arise, as it since has arisen, and I thought the president ought to have an opportunity to protect himself and his administration."

WON'T ARBITRATE Philadelphia Car Strike Now Far From Settlement. --- OPPOSES THE WHOLE CITY Traction Magnates Turn Down 'All Buggestions Tending For Peace and Declare They Will Not Deal With Former Employees — General Strike Beesm Certain. Philadelphia, March 2.—The Rapid Transit company refused to accede to arbitration of any kind to end the strike of their mourners and conductors. The company now stands in the position of opposing the whole city. The Rapid Transit company has anounced that it will not deal with its former employees under any circumstances whatever, no matter what the consequences may be if the company persists in that attitude a general strike is certain next Saturday, and the information is that an hour after the big strike goes into effect troop trains will start for Philadelphia with regiments of the National Guard. There is less hope for peace at this time than for a week past, even when the worst of the rioting was going on. The impact of public opinion resulted in a meeting of the directors of the Rapid Transit company. There was a strong belief when it became known that the directors were to meet that some offer of arbitration would be entertained by the company. As a matter of fact such a course would have been welcome to a majority of the directors. They are men whose interests are tied up in financial or commercial enterprises whose prosperity would be greatly reduced if a general strike takes place. They raised their voices in meeting, but they were overruled by the determined opposition of the city's representatives in the directorate. Earle Balks Arbitration These messages told exclusively the other day how George H. Earle balked single-handed a proposition to submit the quarrel between the company and its men to a seven-man board of arbitration. Mr Earle's portentiness was manifested no less strongly. With Royburn and Carpenter to back him up he resisted all pacific suggestions. The following statement was issued "At the conclusion of an informal conference of the Rapid Transit directors President Kruger stated that the company has not changed and will not change in any manner its attitude in respect to arbitration already outlined in its reply to the ministers' association." The defiance of the Rapid Transit company was announced after ten business men representing the big downtown stores had called on the directors and had talked to Mr Earle. It is known now that the Rapid Transit company does not believe that the union labor men affiliated with the Central Labor union will dare to break existing agreements with employers and that the company is depending on this one factor to maintain its stand against arbitration. Reyburn Rebukes Ministers. Mayer Return after the meeting of the directors hastened into print. The mayor soffited at the ministers of the city saying that it would be far better if they attended to their own affairs who he said are talking about something they know nothing about. They do not understand the situation. It would be far better if they would press order and peace to their parishioners. Why do they want to support a lot of men in the destruction of other people's property and in murder? Why these men they support would be the first to burn down churches." The mayor said that councils would side with the representatives of the city on the Rapid Transit board of directors against arbitration. "They will never agree to arbitration" said the mayor. "I don't know about a sympathetic strike but if it is coming it will have to come. I suppose it will make more trouble but we are better prepared than we were. The police force is now like an army that has gone through a campaign. The police have been stoned and hated at and they have got rid of that feeling of fellowship between policemen and citizens. By Saturday we will have 2000 additional officers uniformed and equipped. There will be 200 mounted men sworn in additionally. These men come from a distance. Oh, we have been preparing for this fight for months. We won't have trouble getting men for duty." Despite the mayor's opinion that the council would back up a refusal to arbitrate it became practically certain that a majority of men in the city council are strongly in favor of prosecuting a general strike and possible bloodshed and destruction of property. Of the eighty six men in the council forty three in each branch, a majority have announced that they are desirous of taking some action that will bring about peace. Senator Jim McNichol and Recorder Billy Varo are expected to arrive in Philadelphia within the next day or two, and the news was that Senator Boles Pontius will be heading this way from Washington in a few hours to see if he can do something toward relieving the strain. It is expected that what will happen will be a conference between McNichol, Varo, Pontius and Wolf, and that out of their conference will come the real solution of the problem. A mass meeting of business men will be held in Musical Fund balls at which speeches will be made by the business men who have already taken a leading part in trying to bring about arbitration. The meeting will be participated in by the ministers of the city. The state; constables left as quietly as they camel. They wipe, withdrawn to be placed on duty at South Bethlehem. In their place will be a detachment of mounted policemen, 200 in number, most of whom are oxcavalrymen. The famous State Funiculars were mounted out. They went out of service with the record of having never lost an argument and never won a fight. But they got $400 for the mental anguish caused by being slapped on the wrist by the girls of Philadelphia. The Rapid Transit company heard of a plot to blow up the subway-elevated, the most important link in the company's system. Detective Killgore informed Magistrate Beaton that two pickets of the strikers confessed to him that there was a plot to dynamite the elevated structure. Magistrate Beaton held the men for further examination, despite the request of their attorney that they be sentenced at once to a year's Imprisonment. Their lawyer admitted that Killgore had tortified truthfully, but he said that his clients were drunk at the time and not responsible for what they might have said. The Rapid Transit company was sufficiently alarmed by the revelation to garrison the Sixty-ninth street terminus of the line. Armed men are now patrolling the property. Searchlights play constantly after dark upon all the adjacent territory, and loaded guns stand ready to repel invasion. SCHWAB STRIKERS SEE LITTLE HOPE South Bethlehem, Pa., March 2- Depression in the ranks of the striking employees of the Bethlehem Steel company characterized the fifth day of the tueup of the plant. Loaders of the labor movement admitted that conditions were adverse to the victory they are seeking. There is widespread dispersion and dissatisfaction among the men, especially the large foreign element. The delay of the leaders in taking active steps in presenting demands for settlement, the fact that more men have gone to work in the mill, the split in the union factions caused by the untimely attack of Chairman Williams on Father Fretz, the slow work of organization, the small and unenthusiastic mass meeting, and the postponement of possible arbitration, have dampened the order of the strikers. In addition an element of pitiful misery has been added since the men have no money and large families and credit is begrudgingly given The constant cold rain the inertia of fulness and the perfect, but rigid discipline enforced by the state consublary have wilted the most ardent and fiery of the strikers The surrender of Trooper John T. Moughan, who admits have shot Steambo, the dead Hungarian laborer has proved a powerful palliative to those who demanded revenge for their comrade a death The end of the strike seems but a matter of a few days and indications point to a victory of the strikers in theory only PANAMA'S PRESIDENT DIES Jose Obaldia, Elected in July, 1908, Succeeds to Heart Disease Panama March 2 Jose Dingmeng Obaldia president of Panama and of heart disease He had been ill only since last Friday President Obaldia was elected on July 12 1908 He had previously acted as the chief executive during the ab- ence of President Azadar He was formerly minister to the United States He was born sixty three years ago and was a son of former President Obaldia of Colombia The new president of Panama will be Dr O A Mendoza Three vice pres- idents were elected in 1908 The first vice president J A Arango has since died Mendoza was elected se- cond and vice president and thus become president and will be succeeded as first vice president by J M Lambert Hasn't Washed Face In Five Years Haan't Washéd Face In Five Years Pittsburgh March 2- With eighteen inches of unkempt hair and a board almost hiding his leathern features.

Sometimes the suburban gardener will find occasional barren spots in his lawn that simply will not, yield a blade and in the hope of reviving a growth to cover these bare places will cover them with dose after dose of seed Invariably it is so much seed thrown away The trouble is he hasn't used a trick worth knowing Here it is: Rake the barren spots vigorously until the earth is well crumbed, then sprinkle fresh lawn seed mixture Cover with a few pints of finely powdered rich earth and keep damp. Suburbanite. Famous Famines In A D 450 famine prevailed all over the south of Europe, raging worst in Italy where parents ate their children. In 730 England, Scotland and Wales were ravaged, also in 822, when thousands starred, and in 854 when the crops failed for four successive years. In 1010 an awful famine raged throughout all Europe and agonised from 1133 to 1195, when crop failures caused terrible suffering. In England and France the people ate the flesh of dogs and cats, and many cases of cannibalism were recorded. Their Real Use Harold had been assigned a small job of weeding in the garden, and his father had come out to inspect his labors. The situation did not prove to be satisfactory to the paternal eye. "Why, Harold," he said, "you have not finished your work." "No-o, not quite," answered the small boy "I didn't have time." "Didn't have time? But didn't see you rushing off to the fire as soon as the alarm sounded?" "Well, papa. I'm surprised at you. What's a fire for, anyhow?"—Woman's Home Companion Roundabout Treatment There is a story told of a Welsh doctor who went to settle in a Kentish village, and the first night of his arrival he was sent for to attend a child he looked at the little sufferer very attentively and then delivered this opinion. "This baby's got the measles, but I ain't posted up on infectious diseases. We must approach this case by circular treatment. You give the little child this draft. That'll send him into ita. Then send for me. I'm a stammer on ita." The Plantagenet Aowering English shrub, the broom plant, is called in French "plantageneta." From it the kingly family of Plantagenet took its name. It is said to have been first used as a badge by them because the Count of Anjou had himself accrued with its branches. The name was taken by Henry I. king of England, in 1164, he being the son of Gregory of Anjou, who wore in his helm a spray of the broom when he started for the Holy Land. The best known of the Plantagenets was Richard I. king of England, called "the Lion Heart." Why the FILL Was Reld First Florist-Young Do Pink is a slow payer, isn't he?

THE LAND OF THE LION JERSEY INDICTS MEAT TRUST Conviction Under the Law Provides a Maximum Penalty of Three Year's imprisonment or a $1000 Fine or Both—Prosecutor Bays None Will Be Sparred. Six packing companies and twenty-one packers, many of them millionaires, were indicted by a Hudson county grand jury at Jersey City, N. J. charged with consigning in limitation the supply of meat and poultry. The indictment is drawn under the law of New Jersey, which provides upon conviction a maximum penalty three years in the penitentiary or a $1000 fine, which the offense is extraditable, which the means to practically all the meat barons of this country must other successfully resist extradition or come to Jersey City for trial. Pierre Garven, the public prosecutor of Hudson county, announced that he would forthwith notify the defendants of their indictment and would be ready to force extrajudiction in each case where the individual concerned is not willing to face trial voluntarily. None, he says, will be spared Names of Indicted The defendants as named are and follows Corporations The National Packing company Armour & Co Swift & Co Morris & Co Hammond Packing company G H Hammond & Co Individually J Oxton Ammor A Watson Armour Loeh L Swift EI ward F Swift Chord I Swift EI ward A Swift I M Armour Artor Mckler Piflward T Tchin A Cotton Thomas K Wilgen Thomas I Cotton Jennifer F F F F F F F F F F F Jennifer F F F F F F F F F F F Hartwell H H B Dialect in A A Fulller Lumber C Patterson The indictment which bifurc in the arrangement of the men named also refers to their status as a being responsible.

Their indictment brings to a climax the concerted effort in the east to fix responsibility for the prevailing abnormality high price of commodities. Justice City as the cold storage center where the sold goods of the west maintain vast warehouses in which countless thousand of pounds of meat and poultry are stored proved a fruitful source of investigation.

Fatally Shot Over $10 Debt. J C McNamara a prominent farmer of Elk ownership near West Chester Pa. was shot and fatally injured by William Burke The shooting was done during a dispute over a sum of money which Burke said was owing him. McNamara was taken to a hospital. There the doctors said he will die, his abdomen being born form a load of bucken milk. The members of the injured man's family area from the breakfast table. Burke carrying a gun, appeared at the door of the house. He made a demand upon McNamara for the money he said was due him threatening to shoot if it were not for threatening "I have but $10" replied McNamara and reached into his pocket for the money "I'll give it on account if you do not shoot "I want all or nothing" was the reply. The family say Burke then pulled the bigger gun the entire load striking McNamara's victim McNamara fell to the floor and Burke fled. A pose of farmers found Burke biding in a wood a mile away Several of the farmers were in favor of hanging Burke. While they argued the matter, Constable Willard made a dash for a house nearby and, getting his prisoner within it, barricaded the door. Then he phoned to West Chester and two hours later sheilf Golden arrived. Doctors were called to the McMama home. He was taken to Wilmington as soon as possible.

Remarkable Scene in the U.S. Senate (Continued from First Page.) would be in the United States Senate." "I saw a big fellow standing up there (pointing at the presiding officers' chair) and I wanted to know of me if I would get there. She told me that I would get there and form and form bad habits I would be sure to get there. She never told a story in her life and I knew it was true. God helping me, I got thorny yesterday. In all my life, Senators, that thing has stuck to me, and every time I wanted to do wrong I saw that thing has stuck to me, and have never made this public until now. I thought was the place to do it." "I am a peculiar sort of genius, not much of a genius other," the Senator went on, "but I have got a thimbleful of common sonora for use occasionally, and I want to use them had a varied life. I was born a multimillionaire very unhappy too, for I never saw one of them that was happy yet, and I never was happy myself until I got rid of my millions. The largest portion of them went to feed the large number or slaves that unfortunately inherit, and the rest were friends like a gentleman and got rid of the encumbrance. (Laughter.) "I have been listening to speeches here very carefully, and the more I heard of the speeches the sorrier I felt for the millionaire. Thank God I am not one any more. I heard the other day make a speech in which he abused Rockefeller." Here Senator Depew, Senator Bailey, and a few other members left their seats and moved over where they could hear better, while Senator Heyburn, Senator Keen and others dropped their books and began to listen. Senator Lodge looked as if he didn't know whether to be shocked. "I cannot help sympathizing with a follow," said the picturemaker Missingplain. "that everybody is cussing And I never could see what they cussed him for, unless it was that he had more money than anybody else, and I do not think that is any fault, but a misfortune I am sorry for a man in his condition, when a man cannot go out on the street and have even his little grandchildren walk in sight so that throats will be killed he will be killed old friend loves those children better than all the gold in his vaults, and he would not be a human being if he did not "I am going to say something that is unpopular in my section of the country, and if I were an office secreter I might be tempted to go wrong, but I always did say before my people what I thought was right I think that Mr Rockefeller is a good man, and I am going to be so until now I have not wrong I wrong his employees very often and I never saw one who did not speak wail of him. I am told that he never had a strike among his employees I am told also, that he has given it many millions—I do not think much or him for that, because he had more than he had any use for—but he has given to the poor, to charity, to the churches, for the poor, to the poorer over the country and if the people don't like that in the United States, then they can put it in their pipes and smoke it I have said it. If my friend from Arkansas is opposed to what I call prosperity I would like Mr. Rockefeller to come down and run his pipes through Mississippi. He can go over all my land. We shall be glad to have him. I used to be a teacher but he has been burned in my mamps. Now I can get it for 10 cents a gallon. I don't know whether Mr. Rockefeller is the cause of the price coming down to 10 cents, but I think it will remain that way in Mississippi if we get the conventions that this pipe business proposes to give up. I intended to vote for those pipes and I did that. I sent Senator Foillette was busy using notes and occasionally laughing behind his hand Gon. Gordon turned then to his career as a Confederate soldier. He wanted the Sunnators to understand that he was just a plain, blunt old Confederate who wore the gray and fought and bled in the war. He added "I skaddled frequently. You under stand that word, at least those old soldiers here will understand it." Gen Gordon said that he had had the honor of capturing some prominent men in the Northern army in the war One man, a great big man named Shaffer, then a Major in the North Michigan and later Gen Shaffer, who was a very poor shot," said Gen Gordon. "for I advanced at him with my sabre and he shot at me five times and never touched me. "And now1 will tell you another truth. That follow Shifnor gave me an awful scare anyhow. When I approached him he handed no his pistol and said, 'You are welcome to shoot all you will. You will have shot all the cartridges away, but over at the stockade near Franklin I have a valise that contains a thousand cartridges and you are welcome to them if you will go and get them.' I said, 'Thank you for the pistol. I sent you a few cartridges for tort and got the cartridges, but I never used them. I never fired a shot during the war. That is a fact. I had enough to do to look fitter the men. That's the kind of a soldier I was. I told the other fellows to do the fighting. A great many of them, I said, would be. If I were as smart as they wore I might have done the same." Senator Gordon said he hadn't got up to make the Sonato laugh; that he had a serious mission. "Down in the basement, I live, when I go home and go to my bod to sleep and dream sweet dreams of the hours I have seen here in the Sonate I will sleep with the pword We have a problem, there that I want you to help me to settle. I do not ask you to disagree with me, but to talk "We want you to think well or use and there is no use in calling traitors. Nobody can take away the armor that will attempt to scrape the ramparts of Jehovah and pluck from heaven's diad God's brightest star as to snatch the laurel from the brow of the conqueror or the conquered that stood under that apple tree at Apomattox. They were all good men and famous. They disagreed and they fought, but when conquered we took our oaths of allegiance, and I can hold up my face before high heaven and I have never violated that oath, and I have never violated that oath, and I do not know a soldier of the Confederacy who has violated the obligation. "This is my father's house. I am proud to be in it and proud to be associated today with the men whom I see around me. I have read the papers and have heard you all abused and consumed, but I find that this is the finest working body of men I was ever associated with." I will not be able to say that his religion was the commandment "that we love one another." "That is what I want to bring about here That is my object in standing here today to talk to you as I do I want to implant in you, just as it is in my heart, a growing love for the country I live in and the people I live With I want to come on all live I want to join you with me in take away those beyonnes that are on those guys you sent down there to a race of people who came out of the jungle and are only partially civilized "We do not want to hurt the nigger. We all爱 the nigger I love the nigger I want to read you here a little sentiment of mine I have got a little book here I want to show you we feel toward the nigger It in my poetry I will not bore you with much of it (laughter), and you know I am not advertising either it is not on the market yet (Laughter) The Senator read then with troubling voice "His old black mammy 'the last verse of which ran She was lovely to me her colorful bundana With which she turbanned her head Her songs were far sweeter than flute or plano As she put me to sleep in my bed. Her soft crooning voice I can never forget. Like an angel in dreams she comes to me yet Those are our sentiments. The Senator added and again the Senator broke out in applause. The Senator started to say something to Senator Bailey and called him by name in stead for addressing him as the Senator from Texas Oh, I beg your pardon, said the Mississippiian, catching himself, 'or recognize me for calling your name I am not exactly familiar here. They call me Jim down at home and I hardly recognize myself when I am called by any other name' The Senator turned then to another one of his "poems," which ended with these lines And while it is given to dwell on this earth. No matter where may be the land of our birth Our duty to God is to do all we can. Be true to our country. Live our fellow man. "Those were my sentiments," said Senator Gordon, "long before I came here or thought of coming here." The Senator then assured the Senate that he had only the kindlest feelings for Senator Heyburn of Idaho He wanted Heyburn to come down to Mississippi and sleep in his cottage on the prairie. He would now film little Southern life, and that he could get a proper focus on it, and then together they would journey back to Washington and walk into Statuary Hall. "We will come back and walk in there," said Senator Gordon, "and stand before the status of Grant and Lee, and I will take off my hat and hurrah for Grant. And I think that the Senator from Idaho will add that Lee was a pretty good fellow too. The is kind of feeling I like," said Lee, and after from Idaho that I have a little feeling in my heart against him. I love him. I love everybody, I am a happy man." Calie's Curious Street In Calais not far from the landing pier is what is known as the fisher quarter. The inhabitants of this part of the town, numbering something like 2000, form a community of their own and like quite apart from the rest of Calais. The young people never think of marrying out of their quarter. Just is the best of this district is a very narrow street. Its width being about two feet at most. The curious thing about it is that the bottom room of every house is quite removed from the upper rooms, and the tenants who wish to go up to the bedrooms have to come out into the street and enter another doorway, behind which is a flight of steps leading upstairs. Dr. W. F. Graham White of the Work of the Virginia Baptist State Convention. Gichmond, Va., Feb. 22, 1910. To the Members and Friends of the Virginia Baptist State Convention Educational Work: Dear Friends, Very recently the Virginia Theological Seminary and College at Lynchburg was put at a sore disadvantage by reason of a rigid quarantine enforced for more than two weeks, thus cutting off financial and other supplies and incapacitating the faculty for work. During all that time 110 students were shut up in the building not allowed to be taught, not allowed to attend classes, and not half of the school shut out in the city. You can readily see that President Diggs and the faculty have met with sore reverses. Therefore in order to meet pressing needs and carry the work on properly at least $700.00 is needed. The Executive Committee ordered letters saint out to all the churches appealing for help. To my personal knowledge some responses have been received. On Court St. Baptist Church, Lynchburg, soon raised $2.10, Dr. W. B. Brown, of Pittsburgh, Pa., sent $30.00 from his church, Dr. S. A. Moses of Harrisonburg, Va., sent $15.50, Dr. W. T. Hall sent his personal chock for $5.00, Dr. C. H. Phillips, $4.00, Fifth Street Baptist Church, Richmond, Va., $2.07, Fifth Street Sunday Church, Richmond, Va., $2.07, National Baptist Sunday School Union $2.00. We are making every church in the bounds of the state convention and its educational territory to send something at once to President J. R. L. Diggs, Lynchburg, Va. STILL ALIVE Be it understood brethren that the principles upon which the Virginia Baptist State Convention stands are still alive. They will ever be alive. We cannot go back from them, me must be manly, we must do something for ourselves in a way that will gain or us its respect which will be important principles which we represent are spreading everywhere Negroes throughout the broadland are beginning to learn that if they would succeed in life self-held must be an underlying principle of their civilization. All ready more farms are being bought, more homes secured, better churches built, hotels opened, more the accomplishly and a thousand other enterprises which heretofore have not been entered into by the Negro race are now being managed and controlled by its leaders. It must be remembered that this widespread manly, noble high stand taken by the race has been largely instigated and urged on by the course of history, who the Virginia Baptist State Convention and the great National Baptist Convention THE GREATEST NEGRO ORGANIZATION. It must be remembered that we are a part of the greatest Negro Organization in the world. There are in the United States in round numbers 2,040,000 Negro Baptists. All of these belong to the Negro Baptist Convention 88,000, thus leaving in the National Baptist Convention 2,005,000. Now by brethren, this might army of Negro Baptists constitute that great force which controls the Negro Baptist schools of the country, the Foreign Mission work in Africa, the great national Baptist school of the Negro Nation, nearly all the Negro banks of this country, nearly all the insurance companies, more than half of the Negro newspapers, the most prominent Negro man of the world and the bulk of the Negro's wealth. Did you know that no other Negro church in all the world has ever raised a Negro church? Ask Dr W. A Creditt of Philadelphia, ask if his church is not a National Baptist convention church — we are the people. GREAT DIVINES TO BE THERE Now brethren, members of the Virginia Baptist State Convention, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses and so low compras, let us awake and look forward to the meeting of the Jr. Presidents of the State of Maryland in May, where we will meet such men as Drs G L P Talafero, E W Moore, Alexander Gordon, R W Goff, W A Credit, W H Phillips, J C Jackson and others from Philadelphia Drs W Bishop Johnson, J Anderson and W Waldron, A W banks, M W D Norman, A J Tyer and others of Washington, D C and may we not look for the noblest Roman of them all the grand old sage and hero of Baltimore. Dr. Harvoy Johnson from New York Drs Hol land Powell, J C Brown Granville and J C Brown Granville army will there be from our own state when President Bowling rides Wednesday morning, May 11, 1910, and announces "the Convention will please come to order" Get ready brethren Commence now raising your money for tomo Mifson, for tomo Mifson, inary Richmond will be there.

The arrest at Greenwich, Coun. of George Lenko, ten years of age; Stephen York, fourteen years of age; Edward Gydoskil, aged twelve years, Andrew Milken, aged twelve years, and Matthew Gydoskil, aged nineteen years, revealed the attempt of these youngsters last Saturday to wreck the early New Haven railroad train leaving New York, for the purpose, as they confessed, of floating the bodies of the children. They got away from the opening the switch and saw their cheater freight yard. That their plan did not succeed was due to the circumstance that a switchman happened to see them throw the switch and closed it in time to avert an accident. One of the ladies cooled 'told of the plot and gave as their reason for the attempted crime the hope of getting a few dollars from the pockets of the dead and wounded. Had their plan not miscarried the result would have been a truly terrible one, for the switch on to which the fast travelling suburban train would have been sent cots abruptly at the base of a huge thirty foot rock embankment. Yydoscoys, the oldest boy, was bound over for the next term of the superior criminal court, Yokui was sent to the state reformatory, and the other three were paroled in charge of Probation Officer Philip Finnigan.

The saw without warning, suddenly what to pieces and one large fragment struck Pasel in the back, almost cutting him in two and killing him instantly. One of the other men was struck in the back by another piece of the saw and it is thought he would recover it in St Michael's hospital, where he was gash in the leg. What caused the saw to break has not been ascertained. Royal Flush Killed Him A royal flush which Frank Con stantino, a resident of Carbondale, Pa drew in a poker game made the man so excited that soon after going to bed he died suddenly from what the physicians describe as overexertion of the heart. The flush came toward the end of the game and when there was a good sized set and Con stantino became so excited that he piled up his chips. He went to bed and his chips were found dead. He died before he had been able to take off his clothes. His friends say that when the game broke up they noticed that he was excessively nervous and greatly excited. Whole Town Bearing Hogs With hogs selling at $10 a hundred weight, Meyersdale, Pa. has gone into the pork raising business.

The Princess Elizabeth, daughter of Charles I., was a domestic sort of princess and was noted for the fine cake she made. One of her old recipes is headed, "To Make a Cake the Way of the Royal Princess, the Lady Elizabeth," and reads, "Take a half pint of flour, half a plant of rosewater, a plant of yeast, a plant of crumbo boiled, one and a half pounds butter, six eggs, leave out the white; four pounds of one-quarter pound sugar, one nutmeg and one clove. Work it very well and let it stand half an hour by the fire and then work again, and then make it up and let it stand one and a half hours in the oven. Let not the oven be too hot." Applause In Ancient Rome The first nighters in the theaters of ancient Rome were much more punctilious in the matter of aplause than modern audiences are. When the Roman theater goers were fairly satisfied with a play they applauded by snapping with the thumb and middle finger. If they wanted the actors to understand that they were really satisfied with the performance they went loudly by, they goers on the right hand. A more hearty token of approval was given by striking the flat palms of the hands against each other. Batlre. At a diplomatic reception in Washington a lady on being complimented on her exquite French told a little story about a senator whose French (acquired in twelve phonographic lessons) is by no means exquite. The senator, fresh from one of his phonographic recitals, pounced upon an undersecretary of the French legation at a dinner. "Monleur," he said, "eska—ah—ceken voo—eka voo voo-ja-mo voo voo-ja-mo." "My dear senator" the secretary interrupted, "do, I beg you, stop speaking French. You speak it so well—oh, so very, very well—it makes me home-sick." The Englishman's Club. "Club" is a word we have taken over from the English language. But only the word—also the club chair for haps—but not the institution, for whereas in Germany a club is a society of kindred people, of friends, all knowing each other thoroughly and gathering at the club to dine, play or chat all with it. It seems in England the place where one keeps as carefully to himself as possible and where members of thirty years' standing do not know each other. — "A German" in London Mall Does she Air Crack? Professor A. W. Porter explained in the course of a lecture at the London Workingmen's college that lightning cracks the air and that the visible form of the flash follows the crack. It might be thought that the air was not a likely thing to crack, said Professor Porter, but neither was cobblers' wax the liability of which to split under a sudden blow was well known. They had all heard the crack of the carcars' whip, but which was it that cracked the whip or the air? He thought it was the air Accommodating An American wishing some artist friends from Munich at the sights of New York. As they stood in front of the Shakespeare satirist in central park discussion area whether the figure was resting on its right or its left leg. "Er sticht auf dem resuten heil" "Nethi retorted another, er steht auf dem linken heil" "Auf dem resuten" argued several "Auf dem linken," retorted the other faction. An American goodman, overhearing the dispute, says over and politely speaks to him "Exume me, goutbien," he said, "but this isn't Lincoln; this is Shakespeare"—Success Magna true. Pigeon's Care of Wounded Mate. A farmer standing outside his farmhouse saw a pair of his pigeons dawn away. Shortly afterward, he heard a shot, and the pigeons did not return in the course of the afternoon, as he had expected. In the evening, however the cock pigeon returned in order to feed the young, and, having seen to this, he again flew away. The following forenoon the same *pigeon* returned, helped itself to some corn strewed in the farmyard and again disappeared. Between 2 and 8 o'clock in the afternoon both pigeons returned and it was then ascertained that the hon bird had one wing badly hurt by shot, but owing to its mate's care and perseverance it ultimately managed to return to its nest—London Field. Comparisons Are Odious "Od. dear," imitated a lady on her return from a fashionable reception "I have made such a terrible blunder" Lady X introduced me to an artist and, trying to be clever I commended it to air theory I have read about that it is impossible for an artist to avoid drawing faces more or less than his own. This artist disagreed even politely, but I wouldn't give in and finally told him his own drawings proved it I have discovered since that he draws nothing but pigs and sheep" -London Tatler Haxel Twilson. Hazel twigs long have been used as instruments with which to discover water under ground. The twig has at various times been credited with many marvelous powers. Not only could it discover water, but concealed lodes of metal, especially silver, were betrayed by the hazel, which, according to tradition, was guided by the piries who treasured the earth in France. The hazel rod of hazel was used in the pursuit of criminals, while in many of the methods of investigating the future burning of hazelins played a part.

Sauce Tartare —This delicious mess, which is served with tomato salad, boiled fish, or fried soft shell crabs, may be made in several ways, though every way has mayonnaise sauce for foundation. Make the mayonnaise in the usual manner, and add to the yolks of the eggs before they are beaten a teaspoonful of powdered mustard. Then use Italian oil and vinegar instead of lemon. After the mayonnaise has been well chilled stir into it olives, capers and gingerbread pickles (not sweet), chopped finely. Salmis Sauce.—This is fine for warming up cold game or for serving with stewed rabbit or roast guinea fowl. Melt an egg-size lump of good butter in a deep saucopan, and stir in a tablespoonful of flour till not a lump tremains. Add, then, a cup of boulillon and one of claret, salt, red and white pepper, two shallots or one onion, a few sprigs of parsley, three bay leaves and a pinch of thyme. All let boil gently for half an hour, and strain out the lumpy seasonings before serving. Sauce Tomato.—Squeeze six or more large tomatoes through a strainer. Then free the pulp or as many seeds as it is possible to do, and put the pulp and the juice in a saucepan with half a clove of garlic, or one white onion finely sliced, red pepper and salt. Let this simmer slowly on a moderate fire for an hour and then pass all the tomatoes again through a fine strainer. Then put two tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan and stir in until smooth a tablespoonful of flour. After this let the sauce cook gently for ten or fifteen minutes more. Such a sauce is served oftenest with boiled macaroni or agacetti. Sauce Miltru d'Hôtel—Thoroughly bland a piece of butter the size of an egg with chopped parsley, black pepper and a little fine table salt. Then put this in a bowl to melt slowly, and when liquid serve it smoking hot with boiled or broiled fish, broiled meat, or simply boiled potatoes. Squeeze half a lemon into the sauce before sending it to the table. The Home. Add a little salt to the water when cleansing mattings to freshen and brighten them.

Hot water will rest the eyes more effectively than cold. Asbestos mats placed under a dolly will protect a dining table from hot dishes. Curry of Mutton. Two cupfuls of chopped cooked mutton, teaspoonful of curry powder, two cupfuls of stock, two tablespoonfuls of butter, one teaspoonful of lemon juice, two tablespoonfuls of flour, one very small onion, salt and pepper to taste. Chop the onion fine and brown in the butter with the curry powder. Add the flour, stir until smooth and brown, add the stock and the meat and when the sauce has sufficiently thickened season and serve. One cupful of meat and one of vegetables may be used; lima beans or peas give the best flavor Charry Bread. This dish is as delicious when made from dried cherries as from the fresh or canned fruit, and is an excellent emergency dessert. Arrange thick slices of buttered brown bread on the bottom of a glass serving dish. Over the slices pour stewed cherries, sweetened to taste. Then put on another layer of bread and cover with the fruit. Continue in this way until sufficient quantity has been prepared. Serve with sweetened cream. Apple Soup. This is not a very generally known soup, but it becomes a favorite when once tried. Take five pints of mutton or beef stock, and when it bolts add one and a half pounds of cooking apples, parcel, cored and cut in pieces. When the apples are thoroughly cooked, press through a sieve and add a small teaspoonful of powdered ginger,immer for five minutes, salt, and serve very hot accompanied by a dish of boiled rice.

Fighters All Have Favorite Pepco To Land Jumpout When Jack Johnson knocked, Stanley Ketchel out at Colma recently he used his favorite blow, a right hand uppercut, delivered squerely on the point of the jaw he employed the same method that won for him the heavyweight championship of the world. Going back through pugilistic history, one can find many instances of fighters who depended wholly upon one particular punch delivered at the crucial movement. Stigler won the championship by a champion grip of America with straight hitting from the shoulder. He punched like a battering ram with either hand, and in that way he heat down the famous "Yankee" Sullivan who was one of the trickiest fighters that ever toed the scratch John L. Sullivan's beat blow was a right hand swing for the point of the chin He usually rushed in with the left hand to brush aside his alfagonist's defense and then followed with a terrific right There wasn't much science in Sullivan's tactics, but he just bored in like a wild bull and beat his opponents down by main strength CORBETTS BLOWS LIGHT Corbett used his right on the defender a greater part or the those and whenever he landed a blow with it there was little or no steam behind it. A snappy left hand wallop was Jack Dempsey's mainstay. The way he met rushing cluggers with his left was something worth seeing Dempsey has a good right hand too and could do a lot of damage with it but in practically all of his important fights he used the left with effect. Joe Gans former Lightweight champion, had a great right hand hook that made him famous. But at that he was a wonderful two-handed fighter. Before Gans fought Frank Erne for the title at Fort Erie he was awake nights planning how to win Erne had a habit of moving back only a few inches from a faint and then jumping forward again to put in a jab Gans planned, there fore, to feint simultaneously, and as Erne drew back to hook his right to the jaw. When the fight started Erne did exactly what Gans expected. They both feinted. BANG GOOD-NIGHT Erne drew back a trifle and stopped for the fraction of a second. Gans followed quickly with the right hook and landed it flush on the jaw just as Erne bobbed his head back within range. In that way Gans scored one of the most scientific knockouts on record. This incident showed what a close student of the manly art Joe Gans was. He was one of the quickest thinkers that ever stood in the ring. When Dal Hawkins in their first on counter, put Gans down with aorking left-hand amash. It looked as if the Baltimore Negro was out but and weak and dizzed up at the count of 6 and worked the right hook to the jaw for a clean knockdown just as Hawkins closed in to finish him. Another great right hook put Hawkins away in the second round. Nearly all of Robert Fitzsimmons' victories were, due to half arm jots on the jaw or stomach at close quarters or in break aways. He stopped Hall, Maher, Creedon, Sharkey and others in this manner before he met Corbett for the world's title at Carson City. Fitz made a study of Corbett and decided that the latter's stomach was a weak spot. The Cornishman was the inventor of the "left hand shift," which he landed on Corbett's solar plexus in the fourteenth round and put Jim down for the nal count Before this wonderful punch landed, Corbett outboxed Fitzsimmons with remarkable case. Jeffries is essentially a left handed fighter. It is said that he can hit hard or with that hand than with the right. His most effective punch is a right left hand hook, with which he stopped Fitzsimmons, Ruhlin, Corbett, and Munroe. In each instance he reached the body with this wailon, following it quickly with a smash on the jaw. Can Jeffries land the left hook on Jack Johnson's jaw? The nugro is noted for his invulnerable blocking and clutching. He is not so fast on his foot as Corbett was nine years ago, and may find it a hard matter to keep out of harm's way, but it must be remembered that Johnson is three years younger than Jeffries and that the latter has been idle for five years. Jeffries, however, may surprise the world if he can recover his old form as he is able to stand the sash, can hit like the kick of a mule, and is a clover ring general. If he goes after the jaw-or body and lands, it is belloved by he will win. But it is Johnson stalks and stays for any great length of time without sustaining serious punishment, Jeffries, because of a lack of his old stamina, may fire. HARD MAN TO DROP. It is condescended that I would take a terrible junch to my jeans' outfit even if he were half fit. In his battle with Fitzimmons, Jeffries received many heavy blows, and finally stowed the frockled man away. Jeffries is not a rusher, however. He and Johnson employ similar methods in that they await the attack of an opponent and hit when firmly planted on both foot Johnson cannot land a knockout blow while under headway but Jeffries can, and in this respect he may have an advantage. Kid McCoy earned fame with what was termed a cornerkicker punch. When he shot it in he gave his writ a firm grip and made it remarkable. Though comparative fruit in build McCoy with this blow knocked out such heavyweights as Choyuki Maher, O'Donnell and Paacke while among the middleweights he stopped or busted were Fredon Tommy Ryan Jack Hopper and Dave Barry McCoy with his left hand jaws cut nearly all these men to ribbons. Choynski had Broken Rib When He Fought Walcott. This is a true story of one or the most remarkable fights ever held in America or any where in the world for that matter It is the story too, or one of the most barefaced robberies ever perpetrated upon the New York public—one of the long series of betting frame-ups that disguaged sports and antaports alike and ended in the repeal of the Horton law Here are printed all the inside facts of the famous fight with Joe Choynski that earned Joe Walcott the title of giant killer. Choynski, when this happened, was one of the best and also one of the most unfortunate of American heavyweights. He was a light heavyweight which made it hard sliding for him when he fought such men as Sharkey, Corbett, and Jeffries. Yet in all of these great fights he made a splendid showing Corbett at his best beat Choynski in 27 desperate rounds fought with skin tight gloves Joo knocked out the great Jim Hall in fifteen rounds and again in seven He knocked Tom Sharkey clear through the ropes to the floor outside the ring twice and was given a draw. He knocked out Joe McAuliffe the 270-round mission giant of San Francisco, in four rounds beat Denver Ed', Smith in four rounds fought a 20 round draw with Jim Jeffries knocked out Jack Johnson and drew with Plattsburgh by McAuliffe after the bell in the fourth round and the referees didn't give him the fight on a foul and after fighting the greatest heavyweights in the ring he was knocked out twice by Kid Carter in a single round each time, and by Sharkey in two rounds. He knocked out Peter Maher in two rounds although Peter had an earlier occasion knocked Joe out in six. All of this shows that chomps luck decidedly van in strokes CHOYNSKI WAS UNLCKY On the 16th of February 1900 Choynski met Peter Mahr in Chicago and beat him in six rounds. About a week later he was to have fought Kid McCoy in New York in the ring of the Broadway Athletic Club Choynski had a $200 forfeit up for that match. After the Mahr fight Choynski had a badly broken rib. He claimed at the time that he had slipped on an ankle pavement while walking up the street after the fight and in failing had struck a post and broken a Choynski 160k a severe attack of the grip. He went to the Broadway Athletic Club, ex-plaining his condition, and asked to have the fight called off in answer the club officials told him that he must come on" to New York. Although a very sick man, he traviled to New York. There he learned that McCoy had withdrawn from the match and that the club had secured Jawal McCoy to fight instead Choynski demanded his $500 forfit, but was told that the club would "grab it" unless he fought. He proved that one of his ribs was broken, but failed to make an impression. After some argument the club offered to give Choynski 75 per cent of the gate receipts Choynski not feeling like losing his $600 forfit, agreed to fight but he made one condition he asked that all bats be declared before he went into the ring. This the club manager agreed to do. But that was the very thing they didn't do. BETTING A SECRET The betting was the secret of the whole thing Choynskyl, sick enough for the hospital, and with a broken rib was as good as a gold mine for the insiders. Not a word was whispered about his condition, and bets on Walcott were placed merrily wherever a 'sucker' could be found. There was little to do but rake in the coin Choynskyl in shape should have been a top-heavy favorite over the back, overweight. The fact that Choynskyl in shape was carefully guarded At the time the Choynskyl was a 2 to 1 favorite, and thousands of dollars were wagered at those odds. By the time the man stepped into the ring the odds had gone to 5 to 1 on Choynskyl, and even such a wise bitter as Al Smith placed $1,000 of Choynskyl money against $200 of Walcott coin at the ringside Like many others Smith was not "in on the killing" When the men stepped to the middle of the ring Choyniak looked like a giant beside Walcott. The Californian was 6 feet 10 12 inches tall. Walcott was 5 feet 1 1-2 inches. As soon as the boll rang Choyniak sparred cautiously. But Walcott, always a fury in the ring, ripped through his guard and smashed home a terrible blow right over the broken rib. Some one must have coached Walcott. Choyniak doubled over in agony, and the Harbatsko negro slipped in a left hook to the same spot Choyniak was practically a beaten man at that moment. Bringing his right over to the jaw, Walcott dropped him heavily. Referees Johnny White counted nine before Joe Choyniak could zip to his feet. Walcott toro at him furiously and knocked him sprawling twice more before the bell rang. In the second round Choynaki used all his skill and avoided shunky little Walcott's swings, losing some damage with a straight left. In the third Choynaki doubled over to save his body, and hold the black terror off, getting only a few glancing blows on the head. But in the fourth Walcott jumped in again harder than ever and made try after try until at last he landed squarely on the broken rib again Choynaki. In distress, could not straighten up His jaw was in easy reach now and Walcott hammered him around the ring until the white man was groggy and spattered with gore. All through the fifth and the sixth Walcott flattened away as fast as he could hit soldom missing Choynak's hand with his terrific wallops. The fixxon faired fighter was reeling from side to side as Walcott boat him with left and right, but no gamer man than Choynak over put on a glove, and Walcott boat him back. Now, weak and dizzy and nearly out, his blows wouldn't have hurt a child, and for the first time Walcott grinned. END CAME IN SEVENTH The seventh saw the old Walcott sprang at Choynski like a balldog and beat him all over the ring. It was a pitiful sight. All that the big fellow could do now was fall in with arms extended and try to clench Walcott rained blows about his ears and on his jaw and sunk the soden gloves into his body until there was nothing left of Choynski, the fighter, but the dim spark of dauntless courage that kept him on his foot. The crowd was in an uproar. Even those who had wagered fortunes on Choynski were calling to the referee to stop it. Warms knocked the half-senseless man fast with a right hander. He rose Again the black demon ripped in mercilessly, and had beaten his helpless opponent back to a corner when Job nye White stopped in and stopped the carnage. There was a sensation when the neigh reached the streets. People could not believe that little Walcott had beaten Choynski, the great fighter who had drawn with Joffries. There was more of a sensation a day later when the facts leaked out Public sentiment condemned the crooked work of a fox man and in the revulsion of feeling caused by it the game of glove fighting was legally wiped out in New York's Choynski gave out the facts and his statement was backed by a reputable physician Dr Joseph Mullr of 41 West Thirty sixth Street New York. This man Choynski said Dr Mullr went into the ring with a broken rib he should never have done what he did. He is a patient or mine and was under my treatment for his broken rib and also for an attack of indigestue." But that didn't give back his $1,000 to Al Smith or a great many thousands of dollars to other victims.

A wonderful instrument called the Spanish Magnetic Needle has recently been perfected which has been used with wonderful accuracy in discovering both mines and treasures. The needle has interchanged parts designed for use to indicate the particular mineral sought for. Lost and buried treasures of money, gold and silver, are located Successful miners and prospectors use these needles, but in the past they have been very difficult to obtain. We understand, however that the Prospectors and Miners Agency of Palmyra, Pa., handle a complete line of these needles and other mineral rods and would be glad to correspond with any one interested in the subject.

Elbow Grease Thousands of people in small positions whine because their talents are thrown away because their ability has no elbow room. It is not elbow room they need, it is "elbow grease," it is energy and strength. Their very whining shows they are too small for the place they are in now. When the right kind of person has too small a place he does his work so well as to make the place bigger — Bagon Brigge.
