THE RICHMOND PLANET The Old Log Cabin. Maternal Eden! Cradle of the night Before the blessed twilight of the dawn Of present day. Thy roof revealed the light Of beck'ning stars, where many souls were drawn In inspirations of a worthy aim That marked the nucleus of a noble name. The poor and lowly trusted to thy care Found rugged strength and faith-inspired heart; Thon gave the whisper with thy simple fare That would not let the light of hope depart. The fragrance of thy forest-scented dream Spoke ever of a human height supreme. Thy gift is in the background of the past Of many lives that tower in the sky; The flicker of thy candle light is cast In radiance manifold of blessings high. Yea, many human pinnacles of earth Walked from the portals of thy humble birth. Though now eclipsed by present palace hall, Where all the suns of civil'ization lay The splendors of their beauty over all, Thou art the father of the present day. The White House of the blessed Lincoln goal Was but the evolution of thy soul. By Lucian B. Watkins. JANITORS SELL SCHOOL WARES Protesting Merchants Are Allowed to Send Agents Into Play Yards. Complaints of merchants in the neighborhood of the public schools that they are being discriminated against in the matter or selling commodities to the teachers and children have been brought to the attention of the City School Board. It is alleged that certain merchants or their representatives have been allowed to enter the school yards and sell to the children while others were not. So far the board has taken no action, and does not contemplate doing so, unless a formal complaint is made. This has not been done as yet. Superintendent, Chandler explained the matter yesterday. He said that in order to keep the children from crossing the streets and running the risk of being injured by wagons and cars, permission had been granted janitors to serve them in the school yards. At this the merchants made complaint, and were told that if they cared to bring their wares to the school yards they might enjoy the same privilege. A number of them took advantage of this, and now sell regularly to the pupils such food as is allowed by the board. In the case of the janitors, it is always specified in giving them permission to sell, that they obtain license to do business among the children. In the event that any of them have not complied with this provision, said Dr. Chandler last night, it is a matter resting with the proper city authorities, and not with the School Board. In requiring the janitors to obtain license, the board had in mind placing all dealers on an equal footing. The janitors, of course, after obtaining their licenses are privileged to buy from whom they please. As the matter now stands the principals are not in the smallest way involved in the so-called discrimination, the permissions for selling being invariably given by the School Board. No legitimate merchant agree to abide by the regulations of the board had been denied entrance to any of the schools at the proper hour. The rule was adopted solely as a matter of protection to the children. It is not expected that the case will be brought officially to the board.-Richmond, Va. TimesDispatch, March 12, 1910.

FOR SALE—House and Lot. 217 West Leigh Street. 2-t Mr. Carter Speaks. Editor of The PLANET: Dear Sir: In your editorial reply to Mr. Stemons concerning the dismissal of colored waiters from hotels, at Providence and perhaps in other northern cities, will serve as an incentive to the lethargical element of the Negro people. It is a fact that we Southern colored men here in the North have let go by many precious days in idle song and laughter, which might have been turned into cents and dollars, and many opportunities that might have been made good in the organization of legitimate business. Especially do we now see the need of this when colored men are being superceded by white men in the ordinary vocations of life. An ounce of forethought then, regarding future developments would be affording many pounds of convenience and prosperity now. But, be that as it may, there is no reason why men of the Negro people should hold a monopoly on public or private waiting, for much of service is performed here in the North by white women, as well as by white men, and the men of that race are taking hold of other things, as a means of living. The writer could give quite a few instances relative to this matter, but one is sufficient. An Englishman of my acquaintance, who followed private waiting for a living, was displaced by women of the white race. He received $60 for his private work as butler, but he is now getting $100 per month, for overseeing and doing fine gardening. This will emphasize the fact that in these days of many changes man, especially the black man will not find it convenient to cling to one vocation as a means of living. The thing for colored men on this side of the line to do, is to organize a business, and let the whole race in such communities give it their undivided support, which makes the Jews a strong and an enterprising race of people. The business progress which the Negro people are making at Richmond, Norfolk, and perhaps at other cities in Virginia, is a criterion up to which the colored man in the North must endeavor to measure. Fifty men of the colored race with $100 each, or twenty-five men with $200 each, would not be a bad capital on which to start a business. Much of the business already established among the colored people in the South, started on a capital far less than $5,000. Perhaps none of the savings banks of Richmond, Va., now owned and controlled by the colored race had more than that amount in cash capital, when the doors came open for business. And surely the Richmond Va. PLANET, now a leading weekly, among the African people had not that amount. Dr. Booker T. Washington, although much criticised by some of his people, deserves much credit for bringing the Tuskegee School from nothing to where it now stands as a monument to his physical and mental labors. He had no capital to start with, but when the great purpose of his earnest endeavors was understood by the onlooking world, capital came to his aid far and near. Let us not whine nor sit sighing awaiting the tide of progress to wash toward our doors, but let us enter with a new spirit into life's earnest battle, to make a place for ourselves and a name of our nation. ROBERT W. CARTER, Brookline, Mass. February 25, 1910. In Loving Remembrance In loving memory of my dear mother, Mrs. Bettie E. Thcmas, who fell asleep in Jesus, Monday morning at 11 o'clock, March 22, 1909. Oh, think how she suffered and moaned with pain, The long night hours, as I soothed her in vain; Till God in His mercy sent down from above An angel that whispered a message of love. Sleep on, dear mother, so free from all pain; Wake her not, sweet spirit to suffer again. She is resting so peacefully, oh, let her sleep on. Her sufferings are over; her troubles all gone. I shall ever remember that bright March day, When that spirit, pure and tender, passed from earth away; Home is not the same, dear mother, Since that dreadful, fateful day. The time seems long since I last saw, Dear mother's angel face; But sweetest thoughts for ever will linger, Around the grave where dear mother is laid. Her funeral was from her church, The Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church, March 24, 1909. By her daughter, CLARA B. THOMAS. On Second Trial Former Cocaine Vender Goes Free. Charles White, of Seventeenth Street, the negro who has confessed himself to have been the first man to bring cocaine into Richmond for illicit sale, was acquitted on his second trial in the Hustings Court yesterday afternoon of the charge of selling the drug without a license, the defense made by Attorney Gilbert Pollock, who represented White being that the cocaine which was found in his client's back yard could have been placed there by an enemy, and that it could not properly be construed as being in White's possession. The prosecution was greatly weakened by the testimony of Eddie Fields (colored), whose bad character was sworn to by several police officers, and who is alleged to have once been a cocaine dealer himself. All the evidence against White was challenged by Mr. Pollock and the only convicting testimony was given in by Detective Sergeant Wiley. In the former trial White was convicted and sentenced to four years in the penitentiary, but the verdict was set aside as being contrary to the law and evidence. After his acquittal yesterday White stated to a detective that he was a "Virginia nigger," and that he thought it a shame that a "North Ca'lina nigger" should be used to help send a "Virginia nigger" to the penitentiary. "I'm a Virginia nigger," he said, "and a white man's nigger, and I've been so all my life. I used to sell cocaline, but I quit the business when it was made a penitentiary offense." He walked off with his Carry, and half a hundred negroes congruated him on the outcome of his trial. Eddie Fields, the chief witness against White, has been detained four months in jail, for which he will receive from the Commonwealth 50 cents a day. He will be accounted a rich man, when, at the end of the term, he draws his witness fees and goes back to his own—Richmond, Va. TimesDispatch, March 12, 1910. GREAT SPEECH J. H. Garvin Gets Favorable Report on Bill Affecting Race. Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 18.—(Special)—"The greatest Negro in the State of Kentucky" was the expressed opinion of a large majority of the members of the House Committee on Agriculture and many of the Senators concerning Prof. J. H. Garvin, of Winchester, who appeared before the committee to endeavor to secure favorable consideration of the bill designed to foster the holding of agricultural and industrial institute for the colored race in Kentucky. That Prof. Garvin is a man of genius and ability will instantly be appreciated when it is known that following his address before the committee the members by unanimous vote recalled the bill from the clerk, where it had been sent to be reported to the House next day, with an unfavorable expression of opinion, and voted without dissent to report the bill with expression of opinion that it ought to pass.—Lexington, Ky.

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A Proclamation. Whereas by the Act of Congress approved July 2, 1909, the Thirteenth Decennial Census of the United States is to be taken, beginning on the 15th day of April, 1910; and Whereas a correct enumeration of the population every ten years is required by the Constitution of the United States for the purpose of determining the representation of the several states in the House of Representatives; and Whereas it is of the utmost importance to the interests of all the people of the United States that this census should be a complete and accurate report of the population and resources of the country; Now, therefore, I, William Howard Taft, President of the United States of America, do hereby declare and make known that, under the act aforesaid, it is the duty of every person to answer all questions on the census schedules applying to him and the family to which he belongs, and to the farm occupied by him or his family, and that any adult refusing to do so is subject to penalty. The sole purpose of the census is to secure general statistical information regarding the population and resources of the country, and replies are required from individuals only in order to permit the compilation of such general statistics. The census has nothing to $d_0$ with taxation, with army or jury service, with the compulsion of school attendance, with the regulation of immigration, or with the enforcement of any national, state, or local law or ordinance, nor can any person be harmed in any way by furnishing the information required. There need be no fear that any disclosure will be made regarding any individual person or his affairs. For the due protection of the rights and interests of the persons furnishing information every employee of the Census Bureau is prohibited, under heavy penalty, from disclosing any information which may thus come to his knowledge. I therefore earnestly urge upon all persons to answer promptly, completely, and accurately all inquiries addressed to them by the enumerators or other employees of the Census Bureau, and thereby to contribute their share toward making this great and necessary public undertaking a success. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this 15th day of March, A. D., one thousand nine hundred and ten, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and thirty-fourth. Secretary of State TO THE PUBLIC: Richmond, Va., Feb. 28, 1910.

Collier Acquitted; Victory For Lawyer Waring The readers of the Tribune will recall our story of the outrageous police assault upon Mr. Boykin G. Collier, Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Pennsylvania, committed upon him last October at his place or business, 1623 South Street, during which Mr. Collier was beaten, taken to the hospital and then locked up. When the police found Mr. Collier was a prominent citizen and had a host of friends among the best white and colored people, the police and their friends made every effort to settle the case. When Mr. Collier and his attorney, Lawyer Everett J. Waring, announced that the case would be fought to the bitter end, then to force Mr. Collier he was arrested and charged with inciting to riot and assault on a police officer—charges absolutely ridiculous and groundless. Again it was promised that if Mr. Collier would not prosecute the policeman the case against him would not be pushed. Mr. Collier defended them to push his case and refused to drop the cases against the police officers and he had them arrested and they were indicted and charged with assaulting Mr. Collier to kill. On Tuesday the case against Mr. Collier was called for trial in Quarter Sessions Court, before Judge Charles Y. Audenreid and a jury, with Mr. Wm. A. Gray, one of Mr. Rotan's strongest assistants prosecuting the case, and he started in determined $t_0$ convict Mr. Collier, with the aid of an able lawyer who represented the police officers as private counsel. Lawyer Everett J. Waring, generally admitted to be an able, skillful trial lawyer, appeared for Mr. Collier. The case had proceeded but a short time, when under Mr. Waring's apt and judicious cross-examination or the witness for the Commonwealth the case against Mr. Collier collapsed and fell $t_0$ pieces. But when Mr. Waring began to call the witnesses for the defense, and it gradually developed how groundless the charges were, many in the court room were amazed that the case was ever instituted. When Mr. Waring finished calling his witnesses, assistant District Attorney Gray voluntarily withdrew the charge of inciting to riot, and then vigorously pressed for a conviction on the ground of assault, which the jury quickly disposed of by saying "not guilty." Mr. Waring was warmly congratulated upon his splendid management of the case; Mr. Collier was congratulated upon his vindication, and Judge Audenreld was the object of many kind words at the hands of many colored citizens present, by reason of his splendid judicial fairness and impartiality displayed in the case. Especially are the Knights of Pythias throughout the City and the State rejoiced to learn of the triumphant acquittal or their beloved Grand Chancellor. It is announced that the indictments against the police officers will be vigorously pushed.—Philadelphia Tribune. Musical Recital. Grand Musical and Literary Recital!

The Fifth Street Baptist Church is well regulated, all of the departments are in good trim, energetic and adherent to Christian principles. By indefatigable exertions, watchfulness and prayer, the church has risen higher in the essentials of religious training. As a Christian avant-courrier, it hails with delight, another anniversary of Jesus' triumphal entrance into Jerusalem, rejoices at the approach and presence of Palm Sunday. Last Sunday Rev. C. M. Long, of the Union University, occupied the pulpit. The services morning and night were well attended, Rev. Long was at his best. For a young man in school, he did exceedingly well; if he continues to study and apply himself, a bright future lies before him. May God speed him on the way. Our Pastor, the Rev. W. F. Graham, was in Norfolk all day Sunday, alting the Rev. R. H. Bowling, D. D., pastor of the Great First Baptist Church, in that city. He preached morning and night. Upon his return Monday morning, he stopped by and addressed the Ministers' Conference, of Norfolk. We would like to have heard him; but, judging from what we know of him, we are satisfied that he did his duty well, both in the services Sunday, and the address to the Conference, inspiring them to noble thoughts. The Sunday school last Sunday was well attended, and all are in good spirits. Supt. Prof. B. H. Peyton, is at his best. The Sunday school is one of the nurseries to the church, it is one of the most important departments of the church. Let parents and guardians of children consider that the Sunday school is the best place for children Sunday mornings, and see to it that their children attend some Sunday school every Sunday morning, and thus train the child while he is young. The B. Y. P. U. is another important department of the church, and when properly managed is of great benefit to both the church and members. Pres. John W. Howard, of our B. Y. P. U. is the right man in the right place. Let every one turn out every Friday night to these meetings. We meet rain or shine, warm or cold. The members are interested and want others to unite with them. Will you come out and spend an hour with them every Friday night? Nothing equals prayer but the answer to prayer. Watch and pray, is a great command. Let every one come out each and every Wednesday night to the prayer services, and drill yourselves for the spiritual battle which still lies before us. Prayer services are drilling nights preparatory to and ante-dates, dress parades and battle. Wont you come out and prove your armor every Wednesday night? Services commence at 8 o'clock. Next Sunday, Palm Sunday, will be a great day with us. The Pastor, Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham, will preach morning and night. The lecture by Rev. Dr. D. Webster Davis, was well attended, and the lecture was fine, containing lesson of great weight. Let us consider those things and do them. Dr. Q. W.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS The Trouble in Georgia—The Case Goes to the United States Supreme Court. The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Georgia, N. A., S. A., E., A., A., and A., has had a hard time of it in that state. The white Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of the world instituted legal proceedings against that body when it attempted to get incorporated. It finally won before the Supreme Court of Georgia. Now S. A. T. Watkins, Supreme Attorney of the Supreme Lodge in conjunction with the white lawyers have secured a writ of error, given bond and the case has been certified to the Supreme Court of the United States. This will give the Knights of Georgia, so far as the colored Grand Lodge is concerned a breathing time. As we understand it, this will act as a stay and the colored Knights can continue to do business until the case is finally decided. It takes a long time to get a case passed on by the Supreme Court of the United States and the questions at issue will therefore remain suspended in air, so to speak. In Pennsylvania, the white Knights opposed the application of the colored Knights for a charter and Grand Chancellor B. G. Collier and Supreme Attorney S. A. T. Watkins went to Harrisburg, Pa., and got out a license to do business as a fraternal organization. ENTIRE FAMILY WIPED OUT Negro Farmer, Wife and Eight Children Burned to Death. Roxboro, N. C., March 11.—John Wagstaff, and his wife and eight children, colored, were burned to stealth at their home, seven miles northwest of Roxboro, last night in a fire which destroyed their home. Particulars of the holocaust are meagre, for the reason that the humble Wagstaff home was remote, no one saw the fire, and nothing was known of it until this morning, when a farm hand on his way to work found the house in ashes, and the charred bones of the occupants in the ruins. The theory is that the fire caught in the kitchen and suffocated the occupants before they could escape. The house is on the farm of W. E. Farley, a prominent farmer of Person county. Wagstaff was one of his most trusted tenants. --- Mrs. J. P. H.

Don't make a mistake in the place, No. 314 East Broad Street, Richmond, Va. SATURDAY.....MARCH 10, 1910 the door of No. 11, and the commissary entered, followed by his scribe, a very hold and pale young man, and by the two policemen. Last came the doctor, closing the door carefully behind him. Stretchout at full length on the floor near a pale yellow, soft lay a man in evening dress, his head roosting, face downward, in a little red pool. He was evidently dead. "Has anything been disturbed here? Has any one touched this body?" demanded Pongue sharply. "So," said the doctor; "Gibellina came in with me, but neither of us touched anything. We waited for you." "I see. Read, Leroy," and he proceeded to dictate what there was to say, dwelling on two facts—that there was no sign of a weapon in the room and that the long double window opening on the Rue Marbœuf was standing soon. Dr. Joubert's gramineation established at once the direct cause of death. The man, a well built young fellow of perhaps twenty-eight, had been shot in the right eye, a ball having penetrated the brain, killing him instantly. The face showed marks of fame and powder, proving that the weapon undoubtedly a platoi-had been discharged from a very short distance. "Doctor," asked the commissary, glancing at the open window, "if this man shot himself, could he, in your opinion, with his last strength have thrown the pistol out there?" "Certainly, not." answered Joubert. "A man who received a wound like this would be dead before he could wink. Besides, a search has been made underneath that window, and no pistol has been found." "It must be murder," muttered Pouget. "See what he has on his perverse." These instructions were carefully carried out, and it straightway became clear that robbery, at any rate, had no part in the crime. In the dead man's pockets was found a considerable sum of money, a bundle of five pound notes of the Bank of England, besides a handful of French gold. On his fingers were several valuable rings, in his scarf was a large ruby set with diamonds and attached to his waistcoat was a massive gold medal that at once established his identity. He was Enrico Martinez, a Spaniard widely known as a professional billiard player and also the hero of the terrible charity burner fire where the risk of his life he has saved several women from the famines. For this bravery the city of Paris had awarded him a gold medal and people had praised him until his head was half turned. "Ann" muttered the commissary. There may be a husband mixed up in this Call that waiter again and or we will continue the examination out side." With this they removed to the ad joining private room No 5, leaving a policeman at the door of No 6 until proper disposal of the body should be made. In the further questioning of Joseph the commissary, brought out several important facts. The waiter testified that after serving soup to Martinez and the lady he had not left the corridor outside the door of No. 6 until the moment when he entered the room and discovered the crime. During this interval of perhaps a quarter of an hour he had moved down the corridor a short distance, but not farther than the door of No. 4. He was sure of this, because one of the doors to the banquet room was just opposite the door of No. 4, and he had stood there listening to a Fourth of July speaker who was discussing the relations between France and America. "How did you stand as you listened to the speaker? Show me." M. Pongou led Joseph to the banquet room door. "Late this," answered the waiter, and he placed himself so that his back was irradiated to No. 6. "So you would not have seen any one who might have come out of No 6 at that time or gone into No. 67" "I suppose not." "And if the door of No 6 had opened while your back was turned would you have heard it?" Joseph shook his head. "No, sir, there was a lot of appluding—like that." He paused as a roar of laughter came from across the hall. The commissary turned quickly to one of his men. "See that they make him alone. And be careful no one leaves the banquet rooop on any axeove. I'll be there presently". Then to the waiter. "Did you hear any sound from No. 6—anything like a shot?" "No, sir." "Hail! It must have been the thunder. Now, tell me this—could any one have passed you in the corridor while you stood at the banquet room door without your knowing it?" Joseph's round, red face spread into a grin. "The corridor is narrow, air and I—he looked down complacently at his ample form—" I pretty well fill it up, don't I, sir? "You certainly do. Give me a sheet of paper." And with a few rapid penil strokes the commissary drew a rough plan of the banquet room, the corridor and the seven private dining rooms. He marked carefully the two doors leading from the banquet room into the corridor, the one where Joseph listened, opposite No. 4 and the two opposite No. 0. "Here you are, blocking the corridor at No. 4." He made a mark on the plan at that point. "By the way, are there any other exits from the banquet room except these two corridor doors?" "No, sir." "Good! Now, pay attention. White you were listening at this door—I'll mark it A—with your back turned to No. 6. A person might have left the banquet room by the farther door—I'll mark it B—and stepped across the corridor into No. 6 without your seeing him. Isn't that true? "Yes, sir; it's possible." "Or a person might have gone into No. 6 from either No. 5 or No. 7, without your seeing him!" "Excuse me. There was no one in WEST WING OF ANNONIA HOTEL—FIRST FLOOR. No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, private dining rooms opening on corridor H H. No. 8, private dining room where body was found. 7. Large dining room coupled at time of tragedy by Americans gathered at Fourth of July banquet. X Y. arrows show direction taken by man and woman who passed Joseph in corridor going out. No. 5 during that fifteen minutes, and the party who had engaged No. 7 did not come." "Ahl. Then if any stranger went into No. 6 during that fifteen minutes he must have come from the banquet room?" "Yes, sir." "By this door. B?" "That's the only way he could have come without my seeing him." "And if he went out from No. 6 afterward I mean if he left the hotel he must have passed you in the corridor?" "Exactly." Joseph's face was brightening. "Now, did any one pass you in the corridor, any one except the lady?" "Yes, sir." answered the waiter on gerly "in young man passed me. I supposed he came from the banquet room." "Did any one else pass you either come out or coming in?" "No, air." Joseph heaved a sigh of relief and was just passing out when the com- missary cried out, with a startled ex- pression "A thousand thunders! Wait! That woman—what did she wear?" The waiter could singly "Why, a beautiful girl you down, sir, cut low with a lot of face—and" "No, no I mean what did she wear outside? Her wraps—weren't they in No. 0?" "No, sir they were downstairs in the cleakroom" "In the chalkroom" He bounded to his feet. He sang de bon Dieu Quick! Foot! Don't you understand?" This outburst stirred Joseph to un- exposed efforts. He fairly hurried to massive body down the stairs and few moments later returned pantier but happy with news that the lady No. 6 had left a blank and leather ba- in the cloakroom. These articles were still there. "Ah, that is something" murmured the commissary, and he hurried down to see the things for himself. The cloak was of yellow silk, em- broidered in white a costly garment from a fashionable maker, but there was nothing to indicate the wearer. The bag was a luxurious tride in Brazilian lizard skin with solid gold mountings, but again there was no clew to the owner. "Don't move these things," directed M Pongest. "It's possible some one will call for them and if any one should call- why that's Gibeline's af- fair. Now we'll see these Americans." It was a quarter past 10, and the biliarity of the proceedings at the Fourth of July banquet (no ladies present) had reached its height. A very French looking student from Bridgeport, Conn., had just started an upoarous rendering of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean," with Latin quarter variations, when there came a sudden bush and a turning of heads toward the half open door, through which a voice was heard in peremptory command. A moment later there entered a flocked faced man with authoritative mien, closely followed by two policemen. "Gentlemen," began M. Pougout, while the company listened in startled silence. "I am sorry to interrupt this pleasant gathering. While you have been reasting and singing an act of violence has taken place within the sound of your voices. I am here as an officer of the law, because I have rea son to believe that a guest at this banquet is connected with a crime committed in this restaurant within the last hour or two." Then, after the first dismay, came indignant protests. This man had a nerve to break in on a gathering of American citizens with a fairy tale like that: "Silence!" rang out the commissary's voice sharply (To Be Continued.) Son. What is the meaning of economy? Mother—Economy, my son, is going without something you do want in case some day you should want something which you probably won't want. —Life Proved. "Whitkins is a real genius," says the admiring friend. "But he does not wear long hair, always has on clean linen, always has money in his pocket, and seems to live well," differs the other. "That's true. And don't you see, he must be a genius to be able to do all that and still be a genius." Life. BLACK VELVET MUCH WORK Rich Material is Everywhere in Evidence Both for Costumes and Hats. This year velvet has come into its own again, and with the quiescent air which we associate with its splendor, it is reigning over other materials. It is, in course, regal in any shade, but a certain distinctive, elegant dignity belongs to the black velvet costume which is never disdained by women who strive for good taste. Black velvet stiffened by mousseLINE, tulle or chiffon is the most favored material across the seas. Wherever one goes there are hats, coats, downs and suits of black velvet. The rage for this number and, let it be added, supply material has reached these shores, and it is moving on the high waves of favor. When it is seen in hats there is much material required, for the newest shapes are large. Plumes are the elegant trimming for black velvet hats, the most accepted disposition being that of a cluster at the side and back, or a long single sweeping plume on one side. But the gowns! Never before have there been such daring combinations of the heavy velvet with filmy laces and gauzes. No longer do we associate the velvet dress with uncomfortable warmth; it is now as airy and lovely as one wishes. The trimmings range through all varieties of beads, embroideries and fur. There seems to be no limit to the sight of artistic decoration to which designers have shown. We can be heartily grateful for the beauty of the velvet costume. When velvet coats are under question, the long style is the most becoming. A rolling collar of fur, supplemented by cuffs with a fur border, is always becoming. Here again black is the favorite, because it is such a friendly shade, looking well with any tone of an underdress. Short coats, too, are of black velvet, and everyone will acknowledge the charm of a black velvet Russian blouse model trimmed with rich fur. Decidedly, the day of black is at hand. BABY'S HOT-WATER BOTTLE About as Useful and Practical a Gift as Can Be Made to a Young Mother A tiny hot-water bottle for a baby is now a necessary part of its outfit. Therefore it makes a good gift to a young mother To make the gift daintier looking include a cover. These covers can be bought but are more attractive when made. One is of flannel in blue, pink or white. It is cut large enough for the bag to slip in easily and is bound together with wash ribbon. A draw string is in the top and on one side the initial of the baby in a contrasting color. The letters should not be too heav- ily padded, as they are too comfortable if pressed on delicate skin. Another cover, newer than the embroidered channel ones, is the crocheted one in heavy knitting silk. These covers are in blue and pink with wide ribbon to draw them at the top. Patterns for such bags can be found in books on crochet and form a pleasant change from the interminable, silk neckties which most women, keep on hand to fill odd minutes.

They complain about everything, even when there is nothing to complain about 0 We hope that Mr. Roosevelt's experiences in Africa and in the Soukadan will not cause him to come back to us with the Negro-hating virus in his years. A child with common sense should be sent to school to get acquired knowledge. It will pay the parent. A child without commonsense might as well be put to mental labor from the start. We complain down here about the unsatisfactory condition of things, but none of us as soon willing to go "up ponder", where all things are perfect and everything heavenly --- Some folks persist in just making enough to live "from hand to mouth." This keeps them uneasy, and they are all the time studying out schemes to borrow money from those who work regularly Some colored folks' children never see the need of an education until they are forty years of age and then they try to make up for lost time, landing in the grave-yard before their education has been half completed. Polliteness is a valuable asset. It costs nothing and will pay a satisfactory dividend on the investment. We should go about his world making friends of both white and colored people. 0 People who labor for other people, should see to it that they render service to the people who employ them.

By the way the gospel of work is pretty good religion any way. ```markdown ``` THE NEW YORK AGE'S POSITION Much comment has been caused by the attitude of The New York Age, the accredited organ of Dr Buckner T. Washington and a bither to ardent supporter of President Taft and its administration. It sighs can't say. We have tried as best we could to consult our people to stick by the Republic Party. we still are doing so but the administration and its friends should understand that so far very little has been done for the Negro The Age has taken a long time to see the light but it will no doubt be interesting reading to the gentlemen at Washington. We saw months ago the trend of affairs and we frankly admitted that Waldron Trotter Walter Scott for Boils and a host of other ladies had taken an advantage of the thrill of the racial indifference. Down here a social man is practically a pariah so far as the business and art is concerned and to attend the average Republican meet here where white men assemble to be regarded with almost as much privilege as would be southerned in a domestic meeting unless you go back and left down. it may be well for us to remark that we do not believe that The New York Post is the mouthpiece of Dr. Washington and that we do not believe that he either directly or indirectly inspired the editorial utterances which have caused no new comment. THE COLOR LINE --- Colored people will read with some amusement the following publication which carried truth on its face. It is from the Washington Times of March 19, 1910. The question of admission of colored men to the consular service has been raised in the State Department in an interesting way by the case of Benjamin Bundy of Cincinnati a colored man of that city. Bundy recently took the examination for entrance into the consular service. He passed seventh. The six men about of him have been appointed. Now the problem is what to do with Bundy. Bundy was called to the State Department recently and was offered the position of secretary of legislation in Liberian. He declined it, saying it was his ambition to be in the consular service. Bundy has been told by the State Department that its policy is to appoint colored men to positions among the people of their own face. It is possible some consular position will be found which will enable Bundy to serve among people of his own color Bundy's case is the more interesting point to enter. War Point some years ago. He passed first in a competitive examination in Chicago but he never got into the Military Academy. Here is a case of the plain drawing of the color-line by an administration, which according to our ideas of the Constitution of the United States is sworn not to draw the color-line. If it is the policy of the adminis- --- tration to appoint colored men only to positions among their own people, then we see the end of the colored folks as office-holders so far as the Republican administration is concerned. There is something beneath the surface in all of this agitation and it seems to us that assurances have been given by Mr. Taft to the Negro-haters, which are now seriously embarrassing him and he proceeds further with his conduct of governmental affairs. When Editor Hemphill of the Richmond, Va. Times Dispatch mistook H. H. L. Johnson for a white man, when his appointment was announced as Hocorder of Doeds of the District of Columbia, he was evidently sure of his ground under the presumption that the rule announced in the case of Mr. Bundy would be carried out. To meet the situation, the Washington Times publishes another very interesting item. It reads as follows: That Washington should have a probate judge is the opinion of members of the Southeast Washington Citizens' Association. They feel that a probate judge could do the work of the Recorder of Deeds and the latter office could be abolished. This idea received strong support at a meeting of the Southeast Washington Citizens' Association at last morning, but no definite action was taken. Other questions discussed related to the improvement of the street railway service and the condition of the Anacostia flats. We do not know where all of this will end, but it is certainly causing some rock rubbed Republicans of color to sit up and take notice" and we confess that we are chief among them. MR HENSON'S BLUNDER --- We learn with genuine regret that Mr Matt Henson who accompanied Commander Robert E Peary to the North Pole has permitted himself to show the bad judgment of criticising his superior officer. This can not do him any possible good. The trouble about the whole matter in our judgment is that there has been too much gullish shown in this matter. Mr Henson should know that he is only a part of a machine and that he was no wise in a class with Commander Peary. Some of his misguided friends have gone so far as to suggest that honors be voted to Mr Matt Henson by the Congress of the United States when it seems well high impossible to get honors voted to Commander Peary himself by the same body. But it may be well to quote the report. Here it is. Syracuse N.Y. March 10. Matt Hemenbout in this city on his trip to the North Pole with Commander Robert E. Peary, tonight expressed indignation at what he treated Peary as shabby treatment, or him since their return to this country. I am very much surprised at the Hemenbout said. Since we landed in New York on October 3rd he has paid no attention to me and not even communicated with me. After the hardships we went through to gather and the work I have done for him, I am not the number of times I actually saved his life. I think he should do more than he has it. I will account of his selflessness. He wrote everything for himself and did nothing begrudges me as what little success I may be having with my career. It may be that Mr Henson activi- ties are embarrassing Commander Leary and it may be that the action of Mr. Henson was taken without consulting his chief when the latter was in the midst of one of the most warriseless contexts with the Cook and parents ever known in the history of the government. We noted though that Commander Leary was not giving Mr Henson the recognition in his magazine arti- cle that one would naturally expect that he would do and we did not know whether it was the result of cutting or an intentional slight Still. Mr Henson cannot better his posi- tion or support to his cause by in- troducing in criticism or his former enployer. He has the distinction of admit- tively being the only civilized man, and Commander Peary himself, who ever stood at the North Pole and this should suffice. It matters lit- tle whether Mr. Peary recognizes him or not. This much is secure and if we had any power or influence with this colored gentleman, we should adhere him to 'saw wood and say nothing.' --- 0 --- We have read with interest the able and scholarly discourse of Rov R N Callisch, D. D. of Beth Ahabah Synagogue. It is rich in historical research and in the enunciation of biblical truths. Still, throughout it all their is a vein of sadness, a crying for rights denied, supplemented by advice to the faithful that can be repeated with safety in any part of the civilized world. Rev. Callisch has certainly demonstrated that he possesses the elements of true greatness. In some parts of his discourse, we were so impressed that for the time being, we imagined that he was pleading the cause of the much maligned and much misrepresented citizen of color. Read the. "My Christian friends and neighbors, I wish that you would all put that question to yourselves. When you judge the Jewish people, judge them by what you know, and by what has been your experience, and judge them as you know any other group of citizens. If you must discriminate, why not discriminate amongst them, instead of against them all as a class? It is painful to us to be told that we are not wanted in this or that hotel or apartment house, or social organization, or fraternity, or school, or public office, not because the individual may be unworthy, but solely because he is a Jew. When a criminal is described with a vile name is described in newspaper periodical or magazine, or when a vile caricature of the Jew is put on the stage, or in a story or novel, why do you persist in regarding this as a type instead of as an individual, as you would if the name was not suggestively Jewish? And why do leading periodicals and magazines persist in publishing stories and articles of this kind.* Is there anything that an Afro-American leader could say that would more appropriately apply to the condition of his people? Then Dr. Galfsch gives advice to the Jews, why not let us practice it among our own people as well? Here is what he says: "The Jews themselves can help to cure the evil in but one way, the way Sir Isaac did, by irreproachable character Every Jew who by any act justifies in the least any cause for prejudice does a double wrong. Though at times we are indignant at the treatment accorded us, though we know to be false many of the accusations made against us, there is but one way to answer them—by our life, by our love, by our care, by our nearer to our neighbors, we are learning to know them, and they us, more and more Our part it is so to act that that greater knowledge of us, that better understanding of our life and purpose, will compel the respect and esteem we wish for. Ob. that the colored people of this country would apply those words to their own case and practiced them. The result will be the same for them as for the Jew Certain it is, that the Hobrows of Richmond are blessed to have such a highly educated priest and such a far-sooing ethical student or existing conditions to lead them. He sheds a halo of light upon the community and in his hands, we would trust any case for a fair adjudication. He seems to be inspired by the God whom he serves and by the principles which he expounds from the holy temple in Beth Ahabh Synagogue. Ar. Virginia's More Honest or Capable Than Kentuckyians? --- In connection with the present interest that is being taken in the matter of the liquor question in Kentucky and in the City of Lexington especially it may not be amiss to call the attention of our people to a caution state of affairs in the City of Richmond Va. Richmond has a population of about 100,000 people. Some two years ago the authorities of Richmond passed an ordinance to regulate saloons in that city. This ordinance provided for one hundred and fifty saloons in the city At that time there were nearly three hundred Naturally the question arose how to determine where these saloons should be issued. It was provided that this whole matter should be left to the discretion of the Judge of the Hortigues Court He was to determine absolutely where these saloons should be and to whom licenses should be issued. The Judge of the Hustings Court is Samuel R Witt Sam Witt—as he is known to the people of Richmond is a man of fine personality and strong individuality. To him was given this great responsibility Every man in Richmond knows Sam Witt No one questioned that he would do his duty faithfully, and he did it so well that no criticism he has made of what he did Sam Witt knows every man in Richmond. He know where the saloons should be, and he know who were fit to have licenses Of course pending his decision as to the matter there was much anxiety as to how he would do his duty, but after he had made his decision it was accepted as the best that could possibly have been done. Now the question that arises is what kind of a people are these Richmond folks that they were willing to trust so important a matter in the hands of one man, and then what kind of a man do these Richmond people have as their Hustings Judge that he could be trusted to do this great work Are these Richmond folks any better than anybody else, and is Sam Witt so unique a man that he alone could be trusted to do this? Could not Lexington be adopted to adopt a man in the illinate analysis added of moral force and of moral man that here a system like that of Richmond could not be safely adopted? Of course, this is a great responsibility to put in the hands of any can man but in the illinate analysis some such course must be taken. In all government, responsibility with commensurate authority must be lodged somewhere, and is it not true that the greater the responsibility then possibly the more careful will the people be in choosing those to whom responsibility is to be given? This story is told, to show what a people can do, when they have confidence in their officers, and it is also true that the kind or officers the people have in authority are just the kind that they want. Let the pro- In this connection, it may be also said that the license is a high one. Since the new ordinations in Richmond, Va., went into effect there has been little or no trouble in connection with the saloon business. Richmond has a large population of negroes. Due care was taken to see it that the interest of the negroes in the saloon matter was properly provided for.—Laxington, Ky. Horald, March 19, 1910. $150.00 Endowment Paid.

ROOSEVELT WEDDING JUNE 16 Family Friend of Teddy, Jr., Bays New York March 16 - It became known through a friend of the family that the date for the wedding of Theodore Roosevelt Jr. and Miss Eleanor B. Alexander has been fixed for Thursday, June 16. It also confirmed that it had been approved of by Mr. Roosevelt who will arrive in New York in time to be present at the ceremony. So far arrangements have been made by a steamship company for the passage of the Roosevelt party. To be here in ample time for the wedding it is considered probable that the party will cross from Liverpool on May 31 by the Cunard line Caronia if Mr. Roosevelt delivers his last lecture in England.

MINE FIRE THREATENS TO ENGULF TOWN Carbondale Appeals to Governor For Aid. Carbonade Hall, March 18. Following a decision reached here citizens of Carbonade Hall are appeal to Government Stuart and ask him to have the waist-endorger to put out a fire raging in mine workings beneath a well populated section of the city and which threatens to engulf the residences of several property owners. The fire has been raging in the mine workings for some years and all efforts to put it out failed. The coal company went into bankruptcy owing to the expense of fighting it. Citizens then said the city in an effort to compel the municipal officers to have the fire extinguished. They replied that it would cost $5000 to put out the fire and the city was within $600 of the legal indemnities. The lower court sustained this position and the supreme court sustained it also. There is now nothing left for the worldly citizens to do but to appeal to Governor Stuart show him the fire is a public calamity and as he has power to act in emergencies, they hope he will order state aid in fighting the mine fire. If he decides the situation is not a public calamity and declines to act the citizens can do nothing but wait until the fire burns out the coal that supports the surface and permits a large section of the town to fall into the mine.

C. Hanberg, a young matron, who, with her husband, are boarding at the home of Dr. William Cleveland on Washington Avenue. Mrs. Hanberg was alone in a room in the rear of the house, when her assailant, a young white man, suddenly jerked open a window blind and attacked the woman. Exercising unusual presence of mind Mrs. Hanberg succeeded in freeing herself from the gasp of her assailant. Several occupants of the house wore attracted by the woman's screams and hurried to her assistance, only to see the departing arm of the intruder, who had barely exit through the window he entered. The young woman was prostrated by the shock, but was otherwise uninjured.

BOUGHT WHISKEY FOR FORK UNION BOY John Taylor Thought Cadet Was United States Army Officer. John Taylor, colored, was convicted in the Hustings Court yesterday morning of the charge of selling whiskey to Robert Kirk, a student of law at the University of New York, who fined $50, the jury also recommending that the court exercise chanceny towards the accused It seems that Taylor bought the whiskey simply to perform a slight favor, by which he got nothing in the way of a pecuniary reward, and, before his arrest, felt only the satisfaction of a kindly deed done. One of the Fork Union students gave him 25 cents with which to purchase the whiskey He purchased the liquor and turned it over to the boy. He says he thought an elder boy was an officer of the United States Army, and so had no idea, it seems, that he was committing a wrong. But he was arrested later, and the boy was held as a witness, and the negro was conferred in Police Court. Confessions followed yesterday in the Hustings Court. The law is against the selling or disposal of whiskey or liquor to minors and students, and it was under that law that Taylor was convicted In accordance with the request of the jury for clemency, the court allowed Taylor sixty days in which to pay the one and costs. He bought half a pint of liquor for 25 cents and must now pay more than $40 for the offense he unwittingly committed while the boy goes scot free - Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch.

His earlier years were spent in the turmoil of frontier life in Arizona, where he was for some time deputy sheriff and a member of the Arizona State Troops. His efforts in enforcing the Chinese Exclusion Act on the Mexican border have been highly commended by the Washington authorities, and recognised by the United States. Of $6.00 on his head, which stands to date. Of late years he has held a highly responsible position with one of the largest military bases in the United States, and an superintendent of its secret service has established an enviable record of success in running down bank fraud.

The notorious performance in question consisted of holding up the entire community of the town of Sumner, New Mexico, at the muzzles of their guns, robbing the United States post office and slaying in cold blood an unfortunate bystander who did not wobe quickly enough to please them when ordered to "throw up his hands." --- In the end they were rounded up and captured, and it fell to my lot to get in custody the person of George Cook, who was considered the ruling spirit of the band Cook, however, was a sullen and closed mouthed fellow, who refused to give any account of the exploits of himself and companions. Manager praised to be of more pliable nature than the rest, and following confession was obtained, after he had been safely lodged in the tail at Alhambra. "I left Jacksonboro, Tex. with my brother John, who is two years younger. Then I am. We each had a boro and drove about sixty-five miles to Montague county Texas, where we separated. John going back home and I on to the line of Kent and Stonewall counties in Texas. After working six weeks on a cow ranch I drove farther west with two friends. We drove about a month, going 200 miles camping on the way, and arrived in Tuccumcarl, N. L., about the first of September, where I stayed two weeks before getting work on the railroad for five weeks. I rested up four days at the Children's ranch, three miles from Tuccumcarl, and then went to the Moore ranch for three weeks, after which I worked nine days in a restaurant at Tuccumcarl. I then drifted back to Moore's ranch, where I met George Cook, Henry Hawkins, Witt Noll, Potter, John Smith and FrankABEL—the gang, including myself, who pulled on the Fort Sumner job "We first headed for Spike's ranch, about 25 miles, reaching there in the night. On the way we stopped at a rock house, which was the camp of some cowboys, and had supper there. That evening John and Dick 'Spikes' had been shot and killed by a posse of citizens from Tucumcari. Fred Spikes was wounded in the fight and taken prisoner to Hereford Cook and Hawk went over to the Spike house while the rest of us waited about 200 yards away. When our pals came back they told us what had happened to the Spike boys, and Cook awore he would have revenge "As soon as it got dark we started on. McAdams did not go with us, and as he said nothing about the Rovello hold-up we did not believe he had heard about it, or imagined that we were going to do any more work of the kind. We drove about 25 miles to Tumacori, did not stop there, but went on to the Esary ranch, which we reached about 11 o'clock. We then went on to Green's ranch three miles west from Tucumcari. Greer is Hawkins' father-in-law, and his wife lives with them. We had lunch there and remained until 2 a.m. when we left and rode in a westerly direction along the Rock Island railroad. Just after aunup we reached the top of the hill which overlooks Palomas. We stayed there all that day, as we were doing most of our traveling at night when there was not liable to be so much danger of being recognized After sundown we rode off the mountains and went down to a dugout, where Cook had horse food stored, and then on to a Mexican house, where we made him put up supper. We rode fast all night and before the day broke stopped in a canyon where we built a fire and went to sleep. We slept only until the sun was well up and then mounted a hill where we could observe the horizon in all directions, and remained there until three o'clock in the afternoon. We got support at a Mexican sheep camp, rode north for half a mile and then decided to be in the Lava valley, as Cook said thought it would be the best to light up from cooler climate. We rode all this night until three o'clock in the morning; when we camped on the prairie, we got all the cool climate We wanted, for we almost frose to death, the weather having turned bitterly cold. We slept until sun-up, and then went into camp in a canyon four miles distant. After another lunch at a sheep camp we rode all of that day toward the southwest. "Whenever we would see anyone on the road Cook would swing around and with hawkins take the lead and we would follow. On this day Cook set the prairie on fire, and it soon got out of bounds and was roaring when we left. He did this just for fun, and while we were all watching the flames leaping across the plain Cook told us what he figured on doing in Sumner. He said: 'That d—d place has never been stuck up yet, and those Sumner chaps are always bragging about it. Well, we'll just show them what we can do in the way of sticking up their fay town.' Hawkins, Nell and Potter said: 'Sure, we'll take them in. They ought to get it, and get it good, just for blowing about it.' Isbell and I didn't fancy the notion, and said so. It looked like a pretty tough proposition to talk of sticking up a whole town, especially in a part of the country where there were plenty of good gunfighters. And Sumner had a name for holding a number of them. There was a hot argument, but Cook and Hawkins were bound to have their way Smith sided in with them and Cook laughed when isabel and I finally gave in and said we were willing to take the chance "We could hold up hell if necessary," said Cook, with a grin that made him look more fiddish than ever. This man Cook was part Indian, you know, and I don't believe there ever was one of the redskin race at their worst that could outdo him for sheer devilishness once he got his mind set on doing anything. At four o'clock in the afternoon we were some twenty miles from Sunner. We bailed to talk things over, smoke a few cigarettes and arrange our plans. Cook and Hawkins figured out the location of the entrance to the store which we proposed to stick up and which also contained the post office. It was arranged to go into the store two by two, while one man remained outside and held the horses. Cook said that the first man that attempted to show fight or resist our orders in any way must be shot down on the instant, as that would throw a bad scare into the rest and we probably wouldn't have to kill more than one or two butters-in before the rest would be glad to leave us alone "We started for Summer about half past seven. It was dark then. We drove to within two miles of the town when Cook and Hawkins paired us up the way they wanted us to ride into the town and told us to go straight into the store the way we were riding. First were Putter and Hawkins, next came Cook and Smith and following them were Nell and Isabel while I brought up the rear. Not over ten steps from the store we dismounted. I hold Hawkins a horse and the other six men went into the store. I could partly see what was going on inside, as they had left the door open. "Hawkins and Potter throw their guns on those in the store and the other boys followed in two at a time with their Winchester leveled. Several men who lived in Summer went into the store while I was holding the horses, and as fast as they poked their noses inside the door the boys would hold them up. Part of the time Nell was at the door, and part of the time Potter. At one time four horsemen rode up to the door and Nell, when he spied them, thought they were of Bicers. He called out to Cook. There's going to be some trouble here George four officers have just showed up." "On hearing this Cook and Hawkins ran outside, leaving Smith and Potter to take care of the folks inside the store, and turning their guns on the four horsemen ordered them to throw up their hands. They did so without trying to show fight, and were told to dismount. Then Cook marched them inside the store, where each one of them was searched and stripped of all valuables. The boys ransacked the store thoroughly including the post office end, and helped themselves to whatever they happened to fancy it would have been wicked in my opinion to have cut out the post office part of the racket, for that brought us into the notice of the United States government. And I uncle Sam is about the meanest cuss for a gentleman of the road to buck up against that you can think of. Once get the federal of floor after a follow and the outlook is pretty blue for him. He can't get away by just crossing the line from one state into another, and even if he gets out of the country altogether the betting is good that they will follow him to the world and if necessary, and extradite him no matter where he has found a cover. "I had been outside about an hour and a half when Hawkins came out and told me to come in and got some chop feed which I did Hawkins ripening upon a snack and pouring out a portion on the floor. I took the feed out and put it on the horse. In the meantime the horse went through the stock of clothing in the store and brought a lot of stuff out all of which I also loaded on the here a. After we had got everything packed up and were ready to move along. Cook stock at the store and gave us the word to meal our horses. We did ed, and he waved his hand to the people inside the store, yolling good-by to I held Hawkins horse and the other six men went into the store. Them and jumped on his own horse. Then we galloped away with our booty leaving a badly surprised bunch of Sumner folks behind, as well as a dead man lying behind the warehouse door "There was only one shot fired during the whole affair that did any damage. Just as the boys went in the store I heard 'hawkish' say 'Hands up' at the same time covering the men on the left with his gun. Potter doing likewise on his side. I saw Cook ordering his men to throw up their hands, and then make a quick spring which carried him out of my sight. I then heard his gun crack, this was not over a minute and a half after the boys went inside and that was the shot which killed the man in the rear of the store. Cook had the right idea, according to his way of figuring the plan of action. As he told us before we started into Summer the killing of the first man that ventured to disobey our orders would throw a bad scare into the rest. Consequently when this chap didn't put his hands up quick enough, and tried to break away he was shot down. None of the others made any attempt to fight back after that. But one of the men in the store a Mexican was a little slow in holding up his hands and Hawkins hurried him along by belting him over the head with his rifle. When I went inside I saw this fellow standing there with a big gash in his head, and a mighty look on his face. About half an hour after the boys went into the place, Noll saw a man coming and called out to Potter to take care of him. Potter stepped out with his Winchester, leveled it at the new arrival and yelled Hands up! The fellow was hardly ten stops off and he turned and ran, getting away clear in spite of two shots taken at him by Potter and Noll. It was miserable shooting on their part, and Cook roasted them both about it after we got clear of the town We rode in a slow walk until we got across the river, some distance away, and there divided up the cartridges. Those that we did not need Cook told us to throw in the river. About half a mile from Summer we sat down in a bunch and Hawkins and Cook took the cartridges they had, and threw them on the ground. We each selected a hundred apiece, then mounted and rode eight miles was in a fast trot, when we stopped and ate some canned goods we had and fed our horses. Then we went on to an old abandoned adobe house and there we split up the money obtained in the hold-up, Cook doing the dividing. The clothing was also divided there, and I got a shirt, pair of pants, overcoat, six-shooter, boots, Navajo blanket and some other trinkets. "A number of checks were secured in the store, but all but a few of the small ones were burned, as it was impossible to collect them. We remained in the adobe about an hour and then rode on all night until daylight, when Hawkins left the gang, going to the right of the road by himself. The six of us rode on to the southwest, when Nell and I went off to the left, the other four going on down the road. We rode until about two o'clock, when we met the other four again, and we all traveled together until we had gone some five miles. Then Nell and I again started off by ourselves, going straight west, and the other four proceeding due north. Thus the gang was broken up to leisure the chances of recognition and capture. "Nell and I camped out that night near a horse ranch and the next day rode 58 miles west to the Arroyo Boca, a Greek near the Capitan mountains. We stayed that night at Wood's ranch and until o'clock the next morning. As we started to leave, the other four of the boys rode up—Cook, Smith, Potter and Isabell. We all went back then and stayed awhile, and had supper later on. Mrs Woods whose husband is now serving a term in the penitentiary and used to be one of Cook's men, preparing the food for us. We changed horses and went to the mountains to camp, returning the next afternoon and again taking supper with Mrs. Woods "While we were at supper a deputy sheriff and four men rode up to the house. Potter saw them coming, gave the alarm, and we grabbed our guns and got ready for them. By this time they were within the yard and not over 15 steps from the house. They were all armed with rifles as well as revolvers and we began to think there was a warm time ahead. We all stood in the rear of the house with our guns ready for action while Mrs Woods came back to one of them. When she came back one of them called out that they wanted to come in. Cook shouted back. You can come in. If you first lay your arms down" After a moment's consultation they agreed to do this, and having put their weapons all down on the grass, entered the house. "Cook then spoke up and said. 'I suppose you fellows are after us, ain't you?' The sheriff answered 'No, we are after the men who stole some horses up there.' He was referring to some horses we had lifted from a field when we went up into the mountains the night before. "Well, then, said Cook, we are the boys you want all right." "Have you the horses?" asked the sheriff. "We have' responded Cook 'What of it? Do you happen to want them very bad?' "We would like to get them, of course,' said the sheriff. He was feeling none too comfortable we could see that—and Cook laughed in his face. "The horses ain't worth fighting over," said Cook. "They're a prettybum lot, so I guess we'll let you take them, and we'll get ours." We all then went out and gave them back the animals we had stolen. "Before the officers rode away Cook made them hold up their hands and swear that they would not tell anything about us. The sheriff knew of the robbery and murder at Summer, for he spoke of it on the way to the field and said that eight men did the job. 'Well,' said Cook, 'we fell we can rest easy then, for there are only six of us.' Before leaving the deputy and his men shook hands with us and said they were our friends. They were, in fact, the robbers. They were against a hard game. If they had had the drop on us it's safe betting that they wouldn't have been so polite. "We separated at Woody's house that night. Nell and I turned south and the other boys rode toward the Block ranch. We saw no more of them, but know that they had decided to go to the Luna valley. Nell and I rode all that night and the next day, camping then in a guildy. Our rations soon ran short, and the next day we were reduced to four bichicups aplice. The third day we rode into the Mescalero Indian reservation reaching there about four o'clock in the evening. "Nell told me to wait in a bunch of timber while he bewnt to the lil' diana to get something to eat. He went away, and was soon out of sight beyond a ridge. That was the last I saw of Nell. I waited in the timber two hours, and then headed for an Indian camp, riding a horse I had trained for with some fellow who came along while I was waiting up in the timber. When I appeared in the Cimp with the horse the Indians mediately surrounded me. They said the horse belonged to them, and made me prisoner on the charge of having stolen it. "Here I was in a fine mess of trouble right away, and with no one to help me. They soon made up their minds to take me to the Mascalo Agency which they did, and we arrived there the next day. The same day I was taken to Alamagordo and locked up for horse stealing. It was not long before I was identified as having been with the Summer gang and I have been in limbo ever since. To add to my troubles, a couple of fellows in Summer say they positively identify me on the one who died to shot which killed the man there and an am up against it on a murder charge as extra measure. The only effort to capture part of the robbery was when we were out two rites from Montreal stop. While riding over a tide, we saw a posee coming toward us took and we would wait until they came up. It was about at hour when one man came up on one side of the car and one on the other. We were these two as A.A. Stief and Frank Freeland of Tacoma who waited to the posee which started after our car. One man got up with the posee of one of them and stood up the situation with him and then waited to avoidly not be heard before he took a fight with such brave. He shot the blub in front of the car and then he stood to see how quick he could. He fired at his gun. Nail and bullet doing. Prowler and the rostrate man took his knife and disarmed with his companions. All of the boats are now under rest as I understand that I have grabbed Cook down in Arizona and he was the last of us on board. I guess that the game is nearly played out and with the dose we will get for robbing the postoffice, by the United States court, is added the chance that one of us willwing for the Fort Sumner murder, when cited by the territory next January. Well my race has been short, but I guess I can stand the benediction." The capture of George Cook leader of the Sumner gang to which Massage makes reference in the foregoing confession took place on Blue river, northwest of Clifton Arizona close to the Mexican border Capt Runnels of the Arizona Rangers, receiving information of the desperate having been seen alone and evidently making for the border started from his headquarters at Douglas with a couple of men and was not long in picking up the trail of the outlaw They found Cook sleep in a cabin he twined Douglas and Clifton. The place was surrounded the door forced, and Cook, blinking his eyes in sleepy surprise, dragged out of bed and made prisoner. He was taken to Solomoneville, Graham county and placed in jail. do all amping so soon were News of the capture of Cook was sent at once to my headquarters at Tuscan and I left for Solomonville to take charge of the prisoner. He was arranged before the United States commissioner, and I was ordered to convey him to the Jail at Alberque- nue, New Mexico. Cook was a half-breed Cherokee Indian and one of the finest specimens of physical man- hood that I have over seen. He weighed 150 pounds, a solid mass of sinew, bone and muscle, without an inch of superfluous fat on his splendid frama. He was over six feet in height, and for all his great also, could run and jump like a cat. Knowing what a tough citizen I had to deal with. I did not propose to take any chances, and when we left the jail at Bolomonsville Cook's muscular limbs were adorned with the heaviest pair of leg irons that could be provided for the occasion. Also, Deputy Sheriff Greene who accompanied me, carried a Winchester rifle that was ready for business and my six shoot or lay within easy reach of my hand. It was well to be prepared for any thing that might happen on the journey, for Cook had many friends among the outlaws of the territory who one and all looked upon him as a sort of chief and hero, and I had been warned to look out for an attempt to rescue the prisoner We left Solomonstown on the Gila Valley Globe & Northern railway for Bowle, Artz where we were due to take the Southern Pacific to Deming. N M As a general thing it had been my custom when in charge of a prisoner to occupy seats in the smoker, but on this occasion I chose the chair car for the sake of the large mirror in either end which enabled us to see every new passenger that entered. Arriving at Deming after an uneventful trip, during which nothing came of the rescue rumor we escorted Cook to the jail in that town and left him there to await the arrival of our connecting train. He had been in a somewhat sullen mood when we started on our journey out at a later stage relaxed a little and grew philosophical in his remarks. Once when the train had slowed down for some reason but was still running at a full 25-mile-hour gallt Cook peered through the window pane and said "Now if I didn't have these steel ornaments on my legs I wouldn't be afraid to risk a jump for the ground." "You might beat the train's speed all right!" I told him but you wouldn't have much of a show to win a race against a bullet. He laughed and good greeting rifle with a questioning stare. Well that may be so he admitted but you can't always tell I've been taking chances and dodging bullets quite some in my time and that often come off second beat. Still it looks as if the cards were stacked against me pretty convincing on the trip. You were bound to get a bad hand dealt you some time in the game you were playing I said. "Oh I ain't liking responded cook coolly. I have my fun and if I have to pay for it I guess I'm enough of a sport to ante up. It's all in a lifetime anyhow. We left Denning over the Santa Fe at nine o'clock at night for Rivcon N.M. and proceeded from there by the main line of the road to Alberqueque where I lingered my man safety in the county jail. But Mr George Cook was a gentleman of versatile talents as was clearly proved when disdainting such fobile obstacles as boats and bars he managed to break jail and escape a week after I had delivered him to the Alberqueque authorities. His freedom was short-lived, however for he was recaptured inside of five days and six months later went to the gallows in explication of the Fort Summer murder. His confederates all received severe penitentiary sentences, and with their disappearance from public view vanished the message of the most dangerous band of outlaws that had outlawed Lon Vernia soil. --- Reosevelt Meets Wife in Egypt Theodore Roosevelt, his wife, receives a meal with shirts, a reception with a waiter, and a breakfast at Mount Owen in Egypt. The steward Dal upon which the party made the trip from North Carolina was delayed in a musical turbulence of the White Waters but was able to keep within an hour of the time scheduled for its arrival here.

BOY KILLS HIS STEPFATHER Defends Mother When Wife Beater Attacks Her. Fourteen-Year-Old William Shepherd Gets Revolver During Quarrel and Shoots Stepfather When He Springs at Him—Heid For Murder Jeremiah M McMannus was shot and almost instantly killed by his step- son, William Shepherd, aged fourteen years, at their home in Rockledge, about two miles from Jenkintown, Pa. The lad said he armed himself with a revolver—with the childish idea of frightening his step-program—to stop a quarrel with his mother. Although he did not intend to shoot, McMannus, according to the boy and his mother, sprang at the child, who backed in a corner of a room, fired full at the man to protect himself. The bullet penetrated McMannus breast, lodging near his heart. The man staggered into the out kitchen where he dived in a few minutes. The lad, who shows a remarkable calmness since the shooting and does not seem to realize what he has done was not arrested immediately, but kept under surveillance at his home until after Coroner King had removed the body. Then with his mother he was taken before 'Squire John Campbell' for a hearing. After hearing the testimony of Chief Lever and Mrs McMannus, 'Squire Campbell held William on the charge of murder to await the action of the grand jury. Throughout the hearing the boy did not cry but eat on a chair swinging his feet uncontrollably. When he was foreheaded his black hair from his forehead but turned almost immediately to comfort his mother who broke down and went. Mrs McMannus did everything in her power to save her boy "Willel did his best to defend her" she told *Bquire Campbell* after her treatment as to the shooting. He is blameless. The magistrate however did not hold the child for the action of the corner, but bound him over for the grand jury. The police say the quarrel which resulted in the death of McMannus began when he and his wife were in this city. During the day McMannus had several drinks and several persons who were on the train with the couple when they returned to Rock ledge say they noticed that the man was under the influence of liquor. The police say he demanded more money of Mrs McMannus. William was with his mother at the time, while the other five children were still in bed McMannus' demands for more money started a fresh quarrel it is said that the man grew alasistic to strike her. William around by his father actions says he left the room and upstairs to his stepfather a bedroom where he knew a 32 cell revolver was kept loaded in a burrow drawer. He found the weapon and come down stairs. When McMannus saw the plight he demanded that the child give it to him. Stop fleeing with mother and sweated the leaf and the brandish the weapon. His stepfather who was still holding Mrs McMannus at point and then started for the bay. The lad looked into a corner and causing the weapon pointed it fall at the man and first "Oh White," was all the man gained. --- Seven Killers in Mine Explosion An explainer in the New York collage of the Labell & Wikki-Harris coal company at Wikki-Harris.

A laundry bag can be worked out in biline planks or greens, or in delicate and porchable colors, defeating its own end, or it can be of a restful shade of tan, trimmed with golden brown, and embroidered with the intials of the either, in plain block letter- ark. Great crush with Chinese blue forms a pleasing contrast, and gray with black and pale, yellow is capable of being worked into large, effective designs. Golden brown linen with dark brown and yellow accents is a scrib- tale color scheme for a laundry bag. The construction of the bag is ex- tensively simple, with dust-catching bricks and hard-plows eliminated, and a comfortable footwear insured. It should be washable, and of a material that is logically proper, so that it can be freshly admitted. These points amount color, also and material are worthy of your thought.

Six or eight malline bows are wired to stand across the front and sides and there is a great, loose, choux of the tail at the bottom of the bown. There is no other trimming. These wired loops are not easy to adjust. They must be skilfully mounted on the hat by one who has an excellent eye for line. Pringle on Summer Frocks.

In Many Respects Better and More Healing Than Any Medicine—Care Must Be Taken Net to Overdo It. For tired nerves nothing equals massage. If you do not believe it, have your face or body, even your scalp, massaged some time when you feel as though you had reached the end, and you will be surprised how rested and refreshed you become. For aches, pains and muscular strain massage, either electric or with the fingers, will prove better and more healing than medicinal. If the circulation is impaired nothing will get it over its sluggish ways like, the visit of a good massuse. With improved circulation comes not only better health, a stronger heart, but a better skin; one smooth, free from blackheads and pimples and with elasticity. When woman's hair begins to dim nothing will restore its huster like ten minutes daily of massage. When the cheeks fade and wrinkles begin to make themselves felt, then is massage in order, unless you would look old and withered. This is equally true for the hands as well as for face and neck. Few women realize that the hands are disclosures of age. If there has been no massage and regular treatment to counteract age and carelessness the hands look thin and veiny after a woman has passed 30, by the time she is 40 her nails are hard to keep well groomed, and ten years later those hands will be withered. The cleansing greases and thorough scrubbing massage are more needed than most women realise. Formerly there was the feeling that being massaged was an act to be concealed, like the wearing of false tooth or rubbing on of rouge. Nowadays women know better. They no longer consider regular treatments by a massouse either a shameful secret or an unwarranted luxury. The duty of every woman to look her best is recognized. A warning is needed against over-massaging. As in everything else, there is a happy medium, and too much massaging will dry up natural oils, whether on the scalp or body. It will give the face an artificial, drawn look and injure the scalp. YOUNG GIRL'S COSTUME. P For sergo, cloth or tweed, this would be a good style. The skirt is plaited; the plaits being stitched to within six inches from the hem. A panel is arranged down the back of coat, this being formed by the wrapped seams, which are also taken down each side of trouss, which are double-breasted, and fastened with invisible hooks and eyes. Hat of soft felt trimmed with ribbon. Materials required: Five yards 48 inches wide, one dozen buttons. Ruzalan Lingerie. Paris promises that the fashion for Russian blouses will last well into the summer. They are making up the first lighter gowns with these blouses coats that come half way between the hips and knees. They are banded with colored linen or embroidery and are exceedingly effective. This is a good suggestion to the woman who wants to get her clothes mapped out now. These blouses are used with suits of white plique, linen, duck, and lawn, with skirts to match. There is a good deal of talk about the fine lawn ones being worn with duck and linen skirts, but whether this fashion will ripen or not is too early to say. The Down Quilt Two shadows of plain silk for two sides of a down quilt is the harmonious cover defended by the expert decorator for use in a bedroom already rich in blossoms. When the wall paper is gaudy or even ordinarily figured in design, these plain colors will be a welcome relief to the eye. Aim and work of Corey Institute Successful Normal and Academic School Fostered by the Baptist Denomination of Tidwater Virginia Seeks to Enlarge Its Sphere of Usefulness—Truck Farm and New Building Needed. By N. BARNEY BODSON. The building of institutions of learning for the education of young colored men and women by members of their own race has been one of the most encouraging features of the progress of the Negro race in the United States since the close of the war of the rebellion. True it is that they have been successful in business, agricultural pursuits, politics to some extent and along some special lines, but the foundation upon which his present status rests, the encouragement and inspiration which have given him his present prestige and upon which his future hopes and aspirations must depend, is in the education of the masses of his people. In the Corey Memorial institute of Fortsmouth, Va., the Baptists of the tidowater-section of the state have an institution of which they need not be ashamed. The school was started in May, 1900, in the Methodist chapel, with fifteen students and two teachers. Rev. W. H. Willis, A, B, was its first principal, in which capacity he served one year. The location of the institute on the outskirts of the city, overlooking [Pictorial portrait of a man in a dark coat and white shirt, facing left.] REV. DR. B. F. MWILLIAMS. Scott's creek, is most desirable. It is controlled by a board of trustees consisting of twenty-three members from different parts of the state. That the school is meeting the demand for which it was organized and filling a long felt need among our people may be seen from the rapid growth which it has had in less than four years. The main building has seventeen rooms. There are at the present time six teachers and 100 students. The present equipment of the school cost $10,000, of which sum $0,000 has been paid. Rev. B. F McWilliams, B. D., the present principal of the school, is not only well qualified to preside over the business affairs of the institution, but is a scholar and an educator of marked ability and experience, having filled the chair of sacred literature and execution at Virginia Union university, Richmond, Va., acceptably for five years before taking up the work at Corey institute. His even tenor of life and sincere devotion to racial interests place his work at Corey institute upon a high and dignified plane. He knows the trials and perplexities of student life and can therefore more readily sympathize with the struggling young men and women who come under his official supervision. The literary course includes both normal and academic training. But in order to broaden the work and give larger opportunity for the great number of young men and women who can- GROUP OF FACULTY. not afford to pay all cash for tuition and board the principal and the board of trustees are now bending all their energy and influence toward rating sufficient funds with which to purchase a truck farm upon which students may work out a part of their expenses and at the same time receive instruction in modern methods of agriculture while pursuing the normal or academic course, as the case may be. Another pressing need of the school is a dormitory for young women. With ample storage for truck farming and a sizable building with modern equipment for girls and young women the school would soon double its infrastructure and manpower and thus save the way for a still larger work. There is no discounting the fact that as a race we owe it to ourselves, our children and to posterity to see to it that we provide sufficient educational facilities for the present generation and thereby lay a strong foundation upon which those who come after us may safely pilbl. More and more do we see the necessity for more efficient service from those who teach and those who would be leaders of the race. Again, we must show young people the mistake which many of them are making by yielding to the temptation of learning school to take positions which pay only $4 or $1 a week before reciting at least a postal education. The result is that written the opportunity comes for larger services and better pay they are not prepared to fit the place, which those who were willing to make the sacrifice of a New dollars and social pleasure in order to prepare themselves are the ones, who receive the larger rewards. This, then, is the true aim and purpose of Corey Memorial Institute to prepare our young men and women for life's duties along all lines—and this is the reason why it is worthy of the financial and moral nippot of all persons who are willing to aid the management in its efforts, to fully equip the school with the necessary grounds and buildings whereby its sphere of usefulness may be enlarged. Money for a more worthy cause could not be given. The school has proved its worth as well as its claim to exist as an institution for the education of our youth, and we should rally to the call of the board of trustees and Dr. McWilliams with whatever amount we can afford, for by helping them we are at the same time helping ourselves and the race. FUSION CANDIDATE SUED. Campaign Orators Want Pay From Standard & Poor's, Randolph Bannard For Services Rendered The recent action brought by Isaac Allen, an Afro-American politician, against Otto T. Bannard, the defeated fusion candidate for mayor of New York last fall, to recover $225 for services rendered as a campaign spellbinder was dismissed a few days ago by Judge Murray on the ground that no valuable services had been rendered. In the case of Julius Ayler, who says he is an independent Daffodil and that Mr. Bannard promised him $150, Judge Murray reserved decision. There is said to be widespread dissatisfaction on the part of colored Republicans and Democrats because of non-recognition of their claims to political positions which so far seem not to be forthcoming. LINCOLN'S GREAT HEART. Wae Not Ashamed to Come Into Contact With the Lowly. In his speech at the Lincoln celebration at Springfield, Ill., recently Dr. Booker T. Washington said, among other things: "The basic pon that gave freedom to 4,000,000 African alives at the same time struck the shackles from the south of 27,000,000 Americans of another color "Lincoln was not ashamed or afraid to come into contact with the lowly of the rates. I always pity from the bottom of my heart any man who feels that somebody else must be kept down or in ignorance in order that he may appear great by comparison. It requires no courage for a strong man to kick a weak one." Should Practice What They Preach. We want to kindly remind our pastors, teachers, doctors and other professional leaders that it is not enough for them to cry aloud to the public in support of our charitable institutions, but that they themselves should do their part in a financial way also. Take, for instance, cities where there are from ten to fourteen churches among our people and one branch of the Young Men's Christian association, and you will barely find the names of three pastors who hold membership in the Y. M. C. A. The same is true of the other professions in a large measure. Odd Fellows to Hear Special Sermon. Sunday, March 13, will be an interesting day in secret society circles in Pittsburgh.

The Lincoln Neighborhood club is making its influence felt in a practical way at the settlement house, 105 Fleet place, Brooklyn.

When the first vessel completed the passage of the then new Erie canal in 1837, there being no such thing as a telegraph in those days, the news was communicated to New York and to Buffalo by cannons placed within hearing of each other all the way along from Albany to each of the other cities. The alma) was passed along in this way from Albany to New York city and back again to Albany in eight minutes. The experiment was a costly one, but was a success in every participer. ```markdown ``` Commences This Week Page Two. EPIGRAMMATIC.
