THE RICHMOND PLANET HORRIBLE MASSACRE Texas, the Scene of the Outrage. Helpless Colored People Butchered. NO EXCUSE FOR THE CRIME-EIGHT WHITE MURDERERS IN JAIL. VOLUME XXVII, NO. 36. HORRIBLE MASS Texas, the Scene Helpless Co. Butch NO EXCUSE FOR THE MURDERE Palestine, Texas, July 30.—At least eighteen negroes were killed in a racial clash in the extreme eastern section of Anderson county last night and today, the culmination of an enmity between the races brewing for several weeks. Eighteen is the number dead, according to the more conservative reports which have reached here from the isolated section where the disorder occurred. Other reports place the total fatalities at between thirty and forty. It was also reported that several white men were either killed or wounded, but each rumor as to casualties among the whites has met an authoritative denial. TROOPS REACH PALESTINE. Troops reached Palestine early tonight and established quarters at the county prison, where it is planned they will remain until tomorrow unless further fighting necessitates a night march to the scene of the disturbances, about 25 miles distant. It is reported, however, that at nightfall the belligerents began to disperse, and further bloodshed will, in all probability, be averted. The first advices of the disturbance reached Palestine this morning. Officers were sent to the scene, local ammunition stores ordered to suspend sales and the saloons closed. It was quickly apparent, however, that the situation was beyond the control of the local officers, and troops were asked for. A company of militia under command of Captain Golfrey Fowler, former United States army officer, and more recently engaged in Nicaragua in the cause of the insurgents dispatched from Marshall, Texas, arrived tonight. CAUSE OF THE RIOTING The rioting began late yesterday near the village of Slocum. Several reasons are assigned as the cause for the racial feeling. First, the refusal of a negro to pay an obligation for which a white farmer stood sponsor. This was some days ago. Later, a white man received notice that he should perform road work under the supervision of a negro. The white man refused. Later came reports of secret meetings among the negroes and an alleged confession of a negro that the murder of the man in question, James Spurger, and his family, was planned. The situation reached a climax, however, yesterday, when a negro was discovered advancing on Spurger from the rear, armed with a shotgun. He was trailed for some distance and shot by a posse when he refused to surrender. With the shooting of the negro, those of both races armed themselves and the rioting began late last night. FIGHTING THROUGHOUT NIGHT Throughout the night the meeting of parties of the two races was the signal for a resort to arms, fatalities attending many of the encounters. Finally the negroes were driven to the cover of a heavily-timbered section, and the crowd or whites, about 200 in number, formed into posses and followed, scattering over a wide area. As the small bands met they clashed, and, according to those returning to Palestine tonight, in each instance the negroes were forced to give ground, finally disappearing among the thickly-wooded recesses. A small portion of the pursuing party is still in the woods, but the majority have returned to their homes and the outbreak is believed to have reached its end. Besides the troops, four members of the state rangers reached Palestine late today, and it is planned that the militia and rangers shall work in conjunction with the county officials in arresting those responsible for the uprising. The detachment of rangers went to Slocum tonight. RUSHED TO AID THE WHITES. While the disturbance began in the vicinity of Slocum, its spread through the towns of Densom Springs and Elkhart followed quickly, farmers gathering with the first news of the outbreak and adding their numbers to the attacking party. From Palestine sheriff's posses and crowds of citizens went to the scene in automobiles, wagons, or any mode of conveyance most available. A run was made on ammunition stores, and the local stocks of weapons and cartridges were almost exhausted before the order suspending their sale became effective. With the absence, en route to the scene of the trouble, of the county officials the situation in Palestine was taken in hand by County Judge B. H. Gardner, who ordered that saloons close and the sale of fire arms be discontinued except on an order or the court. It was planned that the court session end this afternoon, but in view of the disorder the session will continue Monday. FOUR NEGROES SHOT IN ONE HOUSE. According to a member of the party of whites the first killing occurred just across the county line, in the adjoining county of Houston, where the negro who attempted to kill Spurger was driven. A few moments later two negroes were killed in Anderson county and the riot became general. In one house four negroes were shot to death, he declares another was probably fatally wounded and still another has 13 buckshot in his body and it is believed will die. Then the outbreak became general and before the riot ended about 15 others were killed. It is reported tonight that further rioting is in progress in Houston county, but his has not been confirmed. Palestine, Texas., July 31.—At least fifteen, and it may be twenty, negroes all of them probably unarmed, were hunted down and killed by a mob numbering perhaps 200 or 300 men, in the Slocum and Denlison Springs neighborhood of Palestine last night and yesterday, according to the opinion of Sheriff Black, who returned early this morning after a twenty-four hour absence in that district. The Sheriff told of a fierce man hunt in the woods, of riddled bodies found on lonely roads and of the terror almost indescribable among the inhabitants in the southeastern part of Anderson county. "I found the greatest excitement prevailing throughout that section of the country," said Sheriff Black. "Men were going about and killing negroes as fast as they could find them, and, so far as I have been able to ascertain, without any real cause at all. These negroes have never done anything that I could discover. MANY DEAD BODIES "We found eleven dead bodies, but from what I have heard the dead must number fifteen or twenty. We came across four bodies in one house. I don't know how many there were in the mob, but I think there must have been 200 or 300 altogether. "I sent two detectives out through the county to collect all the arms they could find in the house of the negroes. They made a thorough search, but found only nine little single-barreled shotguns. "I believe the main trouble was due to a controversy over a promisory note R. Afford, a white man, who is a cripple, had gone on a negro's note. The note came due, and he got after the negro to renew it or pay it. The negro would not do it, and cursed him. The incident caused bad feeling. Then I think Mr. Spurges probably had a little trouble with them. At least they claimed that he had whipped one. Somebody saw this negro slipping up to Spurges's house. "This negro was killed, and then they went to killing them all over the country. I think the most of that crowd of men came from Houston county, and, according to what I am told, that the shooting was still going on late yesterday evening. They were hunting the negroes down like sheep. We found two in the road that had been shot about 10 o'clock night before last. (Continued on Eighth Page.)

The new Mechanics' Savings Bank building was on fire Friday night, 29th alt. if the statements of hundreds of people, who viewed the roof at about 10:30 are to be accepted for their face value. Many may have that opinion yet, but it was all due to the good times of Mecca Temple, I. D. O. K. K. of this city, which gave one of its noted banquets on the roof garden. MEMBERS ACT. Members of the Temple were stationed around the parapet walls and at a given signal, the electric lights went out and the red fire flared up from about twenty-four points, presenting a magnificent spectacle. The building was outlined against the sky and the "conflagration" could be seen for at least five miles. A LARGE ATTENDANCE A large number of ladies and gentlemen were on the roof and the attendance was greater than at any previous time in the history of the Order. The Knights wore their red fezes and brought their ladies to the palatial structure in lighted carriages. Covers were laid on the roof for two hundred persons and relays in the service followed. MUSIC FURNISHED Music was also furnished and those who cared so to do "tripped the light fantastic toe." Caterer Isahal Love furnished the banquet. The cool breezes and the well-lighted city with the commanding appearance of the roof garden made the occasion all the more enjoyable. Royal Vizier John Mitchell, Jr., and his corp of officers were delighted with the success of the entertainment. The Committee of Arrangements consisting of Sirs W. R. Green, M.

A. (Catty) Price, colored, was fined $100 and placed under $500 security for twelve months in Police Court Wednesday morning on a charge of operating an objectionable resort at 411 North Seventeenth Street. The arrest of Price grew out of the case against Lucinda Davis, who was arrested on a charge of selling liquor without a license at the place. She stated that she was not responsible for what went on in the house—that Price was the lessee. Some days ago officers raided the house and discovered white and negro men drinking together, but the case against the woman was dismissed. Price testified that he rented the house for the woman, and that he did not live there. The case was submitted without argument, and Justice Crutchfield immediately rendered his decision. Price appealed. ATHLETICS WIN BOTH GAMES Good In and Out-fielding by the Crack Teams. The Southside Base Ball Park seems to be the centre of attraction now-a-days. More than 500 fans and fannies wended their way to this enclosure last Monday evening to see the Athletics cross bats with the Newport News Black Stockings. The game was a hard contested one which resulted in the score of 8 to 5 in favor of the home team, (Athletics.) Tuesday evening was the scene of another great throng of ball fans, seating room being at a premium. It was the last of a 2 days series and an interesting and hotly contested game from the words "Play Ball!" to the end. The game was a pitcher's battle, the score being nothing, nothing up to the sixth inning. The crowd went wild cheering when in the seventh Patterson of the Athletics succeeding in scoring the only run in the game. Be it said to the credit of Managers Threat of Athletics and Cunningham of the Black Stockings, that they have the strongest aggregation of ball tossers south of Mason and Dixon line.

By Booth Tarkington and Harry Leon Wilson CHAPTER IX E VEN a more obtuse and then experienced man than English kirty would not have failed to appreciate Adela's words and bearing the cause of which was as yet beyond her understanding. I knew that he was doing with no qu倭te, who sought to order to city or whose station was on the things of an ear he felt. It was not much adoicing of it, but rather what he did, to do to his possessions to the contrary would not be for his safety and welfare. He said that unknown to herself she was diligently passing through the vast areas of liking and interest being with for they ever felt the chimes which he dignified in the term love. In view of the fact that he had already arrived there and had a side effect to assist her toward the same goal the present meagre and self-conscious which now called him, she obliged out of place True to his character he had first and considered last. He looked forth every effort to please to awake her heart, and now that there were signs that it was answering, he was dismayed in the rush of his new and welcome experience he had forgotten his calling his reputation—forgotten that he was a common gambler, with no claim upon such society as he was now enjoying—forgotten everything but that, by some miraculous fortune, he had been transplanted to the land of his dreams, had met its central figure and had promptly plunged head over heels in love. Kirby's through if tardy self-censure, however, was hardy. Just for he had made no conscious efforts to enlist Adela's regard and their mutual attraction had been as insistent taneous and spontaneous as it was natural and to be expected. But the knowledge of her identity had awakened him to a lively sense of his position, and, although he was far from being the soundrel of whom he reau had pictured and Adela to need him, his regard for her clearly was him that by remaining he was joyfulizing her future peace and happiness. He must save her from herself and from him and, no matter how dittish it would prove, kill her dittish interest, which naturally was based on the supposition that he was a gentleman privileged to associate with one of her standing. Filled with this resolution he married and said: "Miss Randall you've been kinder to me than any woman ever was. You saved my life this morning. But my friend is right. I'd better go. Already you've helped me more than you ought." Instantly the angelic wreak expression was sponged from her face, and astonished almost angry, she turned upon him "Why? What right have you to say that?" she demanded. "Do you think I want to?" "No," he admitted. "But-but I can't stay" "Do you want me to believe that you're afraid?" "Yes. I'm afraid." "Afraid because we expect the real Colonel Moreau tonight or tomorrow! I'm not afraid of his coming, and you can't make me believe that you are I don't believe you were ever afraid of a man in your life!" She stood very straight and looked into his eyes, an incredulous, challenging smile on her lips. "No. I was never afraid of a man" he admitted quietly "But I am afraid of—" "Of me?' she whispered interpreting the pause. "Yes," he said simply Her eyes battled to meet his own, but every effort proved futile, and at length, coloring vividly, she sought the garden sent half turning her back, while he pre-empted the arm, toying restlessly with the white camellia he still carried. "I gather from the stories you read the General," he continued, bending toward her while he amused half cynically, "that the bad prince always keeps following the beautiful princess, and of course she always finds him out. Now, it looks to me like a weakness in his character that he doesn't quit before she has the chance to. In espionage, he's a fool to take the rik." Her answer came tromutiously, but withal brave and to the point. "I suppose I could find a story in which she would want him to take the chance. Now—now, are you going to stay?" turning and looking up, half daringly, into his eyes. "I can't," he said doggedly. "And the sooner I go the better. Don't let anything ever make you sorry that you helped me. Goodbye." And, throw me back to the beach, he resolutely offered his hand. But she ignored the hand and picked up the discarded flower. "Not yet, not yet," she whispered. "There is Ann calling me, and I must dress for dinner. But I shall expect to see you again before you leave. You will-wait here? You may tell me goodbye then-if you want. We will dress himself dejectedly for the garden seat, while she does now." KIRBY Adapted From the Play of the Same Name by W. B. M.

It seemed as if the disappearance of the sun and Adele had been coincident productive of the same effect. Without warning the day's work seemed to be clearing for toll, demanding more than kirk owned. He felt weary spent utterly forsaken and alone the blank and barren future stretching intermittently before him. Hostage of his bitter hammer he was old to us to the fact that the old negro's toot watching his opportunity had stolen from the house and was now regarding him tiredly and he started when his length the other time ventured to address him.

The pothicric gambler was thoroughly miserable with his surroundings and had decided to make a last appeal to his part nor "Praise the Lord" he began eat neatly "that the nigger's given you sense enough to see that you've got to WEYER "B-OH!

"I can't leave until I've seen Miss Randall." replied Kirby, with quiet finality "I have told her that I would wait for her here" "Why, you gosh a'mighty idiot!" exploded Bunce 'Don't you know Tom Randall's liable to be here any minute and a pose with him? If I could track you out here from Noo Orlenga, he kin, kain't he? Ain't you ever goin' to quit doln' you? You can't be fooling Bunce 'You don't reached your time, without known' what a woman means when she says 'Wait a minute,' and she didn't even say that. You can't wait for her, I tell you." "I wait for her till the Lord quaking minutes." replied Kirby. "When she comes I'll go." Once more Bunce helplessly appealed to an invisible audience for pity, for compassion, at his thud being associated with an utter innate. "You pore lost soul!" he finally groaned. "Do you think I don't know what's the matter with you? I see you look at her. What business have you got hung up' around a lady, even if you wouldn't git shot for just comin' here? What chance have you got with a lady anyway? Ain't there women enough in the world? You know her lady would have anything to do with our kind. You got no business?" "I don't hurt her if I only look at her, do I' snapped, Kirby, whiling upon his partner in sudden passion. "My God, if a man's best outfit the walls for years you can't blame him for wanting to look at the flowers a minute if he gets into the garden some day. That can't harm them." "Gene, do you know you're crazy yourself?" said pronounced Bunce with a shake of the hand. "They say them hoodies do know it sometimes. And a nice, crazy turn you done me, too, tying me up here with folks like these," he added, with vehement reproach as full realization of his many wrong overcame him. "To go to jobs, and as soon as I ever are one I choke up, and my neck gets hot and my cears git red. Tutured me as my secretary," again appealing to the invisible audience. "Waugh! Secretary! I'd make a b- of a secretary, wouldn't I come on. Gene. Pry yourself loose from all this darn foolishness before it's too late"— "I've already given you my decision" interrupted Kirby with some asperity "But, Larkin don't let my affairs detain you" Bunce, after a farewell invocation of the heavens, resigned himself to the inevitable and seating himself on the inevitable and seating himself on the teeth while he fastened a plastic and expectant use on the distant house. The partners sat in moody silence for some time until at length their reverence was interrupted by the advent of Judge Poodell Mr. Randall and M. Veaudry. The Judge had but returned from the stormiest landing, and as he approached the occupants of the garden sent his expression was of so serious a character that Bunce ever on the lookout for trouble, now scented danger and hung his companion grouped to his foot. But Kirby though many evil remained outwarded and entirely self possessed and embracing this heaven sent opportunity of further aggravating his partner promptly introduced the latter as my secretary." "Colonel Moran sir began the Judge somewhat astonished at the factory of Mr. Bunce here. I have the most astonishing plea of news for you. What would you say if I told you that you had no right to be here at all?" As Dwight, preserving his stern demotion laid a hand on Kirby's shoulder his companions exchanged startled and significant glances, while Mr. Bunco grew apologetic and edged nearer his partner. All eyes were now on Kirby, but his expression of mild surprise and courteous interest never changed. Well, I reckon I'd have to say that the joke was on me judge" he calmly replied. Pleydell began to laugh Wolfram according to rumor, you ain't here. According to rumor, you ain't anywhere where you are you're dead" To him it was a huge joke and he beamed until the tears mingled with his skins' musculature all ignorant of the fact that he had prepounded a literal truth ignorant of the fact that his companions were still signifiantly eating each other and that Mr. Hume was having exceeding difficulty with his collar. In fact Kirby was the sole member of the interested audience who appeared to appreciate the full humor of the situation When he is my funeral" he asked with a smile, "I don't want to miss that. His companion somewhat recovered but still thinking and occasionally going off into another squam of laughter the judge proceeded to explain the manner in which he had gulped the interesting information The afternoon streamer does not stop air and I am obliged to row out in a boat to get my letters. The news she was shouted to us from the deck as she moved away. All I could catch was the words, Odelman Morrone dead, and I think they added. This morning. The distance was too great for me to secure any further items from that interestinglar. air. And, still laughing, Pleydell clapped Kifle, shudder, while Mr. Bunce, drawing his long breath, mutely thanked the Knightly that all guilelessness and innocence had not entirely deserted monkind when the serpent entered Kifle. But it was apparent that Mr. Randall and M. Venody owned more disement and that their quick suspicions, previously grouped, had now become active, pregnant with danger. It so happened that they were now augmented by none other than the General, who would have died rather than wittingly berry his trust. During the judge's discourse the boy had joined the group, seeking out Kirty as his natural companion. Looking at the others' hand and again at his breast, he evidently explained. I know what all those things are that you wear. They're canoes." "Cameos," exclaimed Aaron under his breath, his eyes returning to those of M. Venody Meanwhile Adele had been busily preparing for her last mute appeal to Kirty to remain. For the first time since her father's death she discarded mourning and in its place arrayed herself in a treasured evening gown of white satin purchased in Paris before the long shadow had descended upon the family fortunes. she was determined to look her best that night and in this feminine maneuver was enthusiastically supported by her aunt and Ann Piedleyl, who, if they did not suspect the cause, were entirely happy with the result, for they had long been urging the girl to discard the morbid preoccupation and aerial milieu which and threatened to sap vitality, embitter life; anally sought and hoped for some means of transforming her into the girl she once had been. It now appeared as if their most optimistic desires had materialized, for it had been many a long day alice Adela, had evinced such anxious care and pride in her toilet, assumed the role of her heart and eager, feverish fingers. With pardonable familiarity, she closely scanned her reflection in the mirror. E "I HAVE THE MOST ASTONISHING PIECE OF NEWS YOU" seeking a blemish and finding it not. Indeed, her toilet finished, the result more than justified her elaborate and careful preparation. As a finishing touch she plumed in her cuffure the white camelina which Kirby had discarded, and, conscious that she had done her Very best in this important detail of her maneuver, she repaired to the veranda accompanied by Mine Lumberg and Miss Pieddell, suitably attired for the evening. The moon and now risen, flooding the garden with its brilliant light and disclosing Mr Randall and M Vesdary standing a little apart from the others, their attitude eloquent of hostile suspicion. A pregnant silence had succeeded the general's exclamation, a silence broken at length by a tense whisper from Bunce. "Come, Gene," he urged, catching the others arm "the boy has let it out. Look at that man's face," indicating Aaron Randall. Kirby nodded imperceptibly while he calmly patted the general's head. "Gentlemen," he said, bowing to the others. "I regret I am taking my leave. I only wait to say goodbye to Miss Randal." "Who is it speaks of leaving?" suddenly denounced Adele's clear voice, and turning they all saw the ladies watching "Iem from the veranda." "Coloum Mureau" added the girl, coming down the steps and approaching Kirby while Mure, Daceau and Anu Pelliedhool her prostrates, "you cannot think of leaving. Dinner is served, and your place at table is next to me. Will you give no your arm?" smiling up into his eyes. The full significance of her change of attire, the delicate but overwhelming compliment paid by the white camelia and the message it quietly conveyed, the great bonor shown him, the overpowering appeal which this new wondrous, resplendent Adèle undo to his already captive senses, wiped out to a breath all Kirby's hitherto adamant resolution and dirty of purpose, obliterated all thoughts of the future or care for his present danger. Now gift to those honeys." implored Bunce, sensing that his partner was in peril of yielding domination to this feminine appeal. "Gift to the honeys," Gene* "Hang the 'hens' cried kirk recklessly 'I'm going to dinner with a lady'." Throwing wain and that on the garden seat, he bowed to Adele and ofered his arm, while Larkin Bunce, inwardly raging at this new and ablime act of imagery, turned helplessly to his sympathetic and invariable audiences. CHAPTER X UE in a great measure to Kirby's and Adele's high spirits, which infected all but three members of the company, the dinner in honor of Colonel Moran was an esteful success and, in fact, could not have been surpassed had forwards not been present. Judge Pleydell, believing that he was assisting to entertain one who by championing the cause of the landmark, while at the same time ridding the community of the notorious Cauzee Kub, had earned his last esteem and gratitude, told his best stories in his happiest vein, and Kum. Davezec, together with Ann Pleydell, suffered under the same盆度, put him in the spotlight to the length of heartily applauding the judge's most sensible and moth ravaged varis. No mean recounture himself. Kirby ranacked his vast store of personal experience for interning tuples of conversation that would bear rehearsal in the present company, and oven Bunce, finally and unmistakely drawn by some mysterious spell into the vortex of small talk, carefully selected, as an example of the kind of conversations of his many encounters and ventured to confide it to the demure ear of his dinner partner, Miss Pleasdell. His heroe action of the old river gambler—for he was desperately embarrassed at the honour shown him and thoroughly cognizant what must be the inevitable and tragic ending of his partner's reckless action—a sufficient testimony to the fact that the preoccupied manner of M. Veng, the master of the mystery, influence and skidden courtesy toward Kirby, and no effect upon the spirits of the conjugate, if, indeed, their demaner was been noted by the majority. Before entering the house the two gentlemen in question had come to an understanding regarding the status of their guests, concerning in the opinion that he was impersonating the gentleman in whose honor the dinner had been planned. But Aaron alone had found a slobber significance. In the General's observation to the effect that Khyre was a quantity of capers, and, although he jacked authentic evidence upon which to erect, his suspicaple, while likewise grinding that it was an amazing and unbelievable action for one to deliberately walk into the house of his enemies, be vaguely beseted that the paciado Colonel Moreau was none other than the notorious Engene Kirby. Still, Aaron Randall was a strictly just and upright man, who was fully aware of the many circumstances committed in the name of circumstantial evidence. Slow to pronounce judgment, he was quick to act when once assured that in no sense would justice be violated. Moreover, Adele, in whose integrity and force of character he had the finest belief and for whom he had the highest regard and proof of whose acumen he had had simple testimony, forged for the imposture and even confessed complicity if not actual initiative in the same. In the absence of Tom Randall she was absolute mistress, with the right to act as she designed fit, and had, moreover. encrusted his word of honor that he would trust her putil the arrival of her brother. Even had he been satisfied with the truth of his conjectures regarding Kirby's identity this promise to Adelae would have pledged Garon to secrecy, and M Vesury, being subsequently acquainted with the compact, likewise agreed that it could not be violated. For the young creole this passive role was extremely difficult, and it was eloquent proof of his self command and personal integrity, coupled with those refined instincts bestowed by gentle birth and breeding, that he considered Aaron's promise equally blinding upon himself and, repressing all promptings of Joalonyse, refrained from denouncing Kirby as an impossible rival would have been difficult enough to recognize, but this enchancement of a stranger who at the beat was a masquerader if not a character more sinister and disreputable was in tolerable, for M. Venudy had gathered from Mr. Randall's manner that he suspected their guest of being guilty of something more criminal than assuming a name to which he had no right. Thus, even while the young creole and Aaron prayed that Tom Handall's arrival would be hastened and coincident with it free vent could be given to their suspicions. Larkin Bunce carelessly hoped to the contrary-hoped that Kirby would suddenly realize his danger, growing the more deadly and certain as every minute passed, and would ride for the river before the coming of Nemeia. But evidently nothing was more remote from that rockiness young gentleman's intention, for unmindful of his partner's increasing uneasiness and that both were the object of watchful, hostile eyes, he continued to act as an time and opportunity had been created solely for Adele and himself. Dinner finally at an end, he and his young hosts, entirely absorbed in each other's sociology sought the drawing room balcony, while the others, with the exception of Bunce, indulged in a game of plough. M Vasudry proving a wretched partner his entire attention being occupied with the couple on the balcony. M Veasand owing to his preoccupation, proving such a thankless part, Mrs Davezac at last turned to Bunce and suggested that he and Kirby join the game in lieu of the young crook and the judge. "Bh. truly, Anatole," she added, with such truly anatole the other arm with her fan. "you cannot keep your mind on the game, and so we are unable to play. Will you surrender your place to Colonel Morcan't." "It seems to me that I have already done that," he respounded glomly. "With as good grace an possible yielding to the dictates of courtesy, Kirby unwillingly terminated his tete-tee with Adele and he as approuved the card table his place was promptly pre-arranged. He followed Mian Baudall to the bakery. It was the first time he had been alone with Adele, and his long repressed emotion and bitterness found real "Ah, manselle. it is true," he said reproachfully. "You are changed—so quickly. Yes, you will say I wanted to see you happier, but I also had wished to be the one to make you so. Adole." he added earnestly, striving to take her hand. "If this difference in you comes only from the gratitude you feel to—to Colonel Moran because he tried to protect your father I shall be happy. But how have this man bewitched you that?" I don't understand you, Anatole," she said quietly, drawing away. "What I think do not understand you. Adole. I know you love me from the first be is not so fortunate. I have some very strange suspicion of him." Instantly the woman in her wag was up in arms, seeking to defend, anger to do battle for the object it sought to shield. "It is enough that I know the a man who has had a great wrong done him. That's one way of making a woman believe that you love her—when she's trying to help some one in trouble, make it harder for her—be jealous," she shrugged, with a titter laugh. "I am jealous. I do not deny that. But I am, amt. of all things, a man of honor," he said quietly enough, although white with anger. His voice trembled with emotion as he added with simple dignity: "Do you think a man of honor has suspicion of a rival only because he is jealous? Do you think I would suspect him only for that?" "I can't discuss it with you," she returned coldly. Leaning on the balcony railing, she promptly became absorbed in the wonders of the night. Recognizing the sign of displeasure, he yet hesitated, minerally conscious that he had offended; but still feeling jealoused in the position he had assumed, still holding that those ambitions' which had prompted his words were, but natural, impersonal, and affection. It was this right to protect the girl he loved from the wiles of a nameless adventurer, of whose integrity he had the greatest doubt; it was his right to protect her from herself, for deny it, as she might, it was all joy bitterly apparent, that this debonair importer had succeeded where others had failed and that. Adele had discarded all sorrow, with her mourning and was yielding to a fascination that he firmly believed would prove her ruin. While he still hesitated, afraid to make an enquiry of the girl he loved, yet stubborn in his resolution to thwart Kirion, Aaron Bendall, suspecting some such controversy as had taken place, joined them on the balcony, and Anatole, with evident relief, turned again to Adela. "Mademoiselle, here is your cousin. He will not be thought to be jealous," he said gravely. "I ask him to tell you what he will not tell me. I ask him to tell you what he thinks about this gentleman." "Cousin Aaron," replied the girl, turning and confronting the two from whom she had most to fear, "in my brother's absence you respect my authority here, do you not! Very well, then. My introduction of this gentleman as Colonel Moreau is enough for you." "It must be, Cousin Adela," replied Aaron, evidently greatly perplexed and troubled. "And I am responsible for my actions only to my brother," added the girl, looking directly at M. Veaudry. He pushed under the scratting of her eyes and the significant inflection of her voice. "In his absence I would protect you. I would not act for help." he protested desperately. "You may when you have his authority. Until then I bid you adieu." And, with an elaborate courtey and elegant smile, she vanished through I CAN'T DISCUSS IT WITH YOU. SHE SAID COLDLY the window, while the gentlemen remained on the balcony, a pre to the most disquieting thoughts. "You see how she have change—in this one day, with him." pittertly exclaimed Antolete, polling thru, the open window to where in a distant corner of the room Kirby sat at the table, looking at the book and gloomily chewed his cheroot. He was facing a difficult problem and praying for the arrival of young Randall. Presently from the music room there came the sounded harmony of a guitar and harp, and when the soft prelude had finished Adèle's due structure took up the theme, singing. "I sent the late a rose wreath, not so unobscure honoring thee." It was Kirby's favorite song, snatches of which Antolete had heard the other humming at intervals since his arrival. Cleaver, easier, purer sounded the words until the music ascended like an anthem and came stealing out of the window to mingle with the soft murmur of the night, to blend with the unbeard, far distant harmony of the stars. Antolete stood transfixed, a prey to the bitterest emotions to which man was ever hostage. "You bear!" he cried passionately, turning to Aaron. "For the first time since how long? Now she wears no more black. Now she as no more silent. Now she sing, not for her brother, not for those who love her, not for me'" "No; it's for Colonel Moreau." finished the older man, throwing away his clear The crook laughed harshly, contemptuously, big black eyes snapping with passion. "For Colonel Moreau!" I dare you - look - me in the face and say that man is Colonel Moreau, "waving a trembling hand to the window. "I shall tell you nothing," replied Aaron sternly. "No matter what I suspect, I don't know. And I won't let a man be killed until I do know." "When you met this man you did not know him," said Astute, with slow significance. "I think to myself—who can be be? I make a guess and another guess and another guess, but I am not sure." "Exactly," commented Mr. Randleb with some sharpness. "There you are. You are out sure. Neither am I. There is nothing to do but to await Tom Randleb's arrival or, failing that, some authority from him, interrupting us how to act; otherwise our honour binds us, and we must meet this difficult matter with such patience and fortitude as we may possess. At the same time I thoroughly understand your feelings, and you have my entire aptitude. Let us pray this unbeatable anspense will soon be terminated, for I make a poor and unwilling conspirator." Meanwhile, at the card table, Messrs. Kirby and Bunce had been acting, for the benefit of the audience, a farce comedy bordering on the intrigue. Two anecdotal grammers, men who know every mine and trick embraced in cards and to whom the pastiebears were as familiar as one's knife and fork. It was somewhat difficult to stimulate that chronic state of ignorance for whiles their self-initiated position in society should attest. abilities was both undermined by our thirsts being solely generated by the now, about, about, upon, when the worthy Funco nature, chinensis was greatly enhanced by anxiety we were their mutual safety, reinforced by a springing embarrassment at finding himself a unit of such society. Happily for them their patrons were not of a suspicious or inquiring turn of mind and were entirely ingrossed with the game. "You gentlemen know the cards a little" Mina Davezac had ventured, with a charming and guileless belief in their ignorance. "Well, we shall teach you something new of the game, maybe." "I'll be glad to learn something new about it," Kirby replied, with gravity and perfect truth. Muse, Davencer, with sadly amuuntual fingers, assisted with many a fourish, intended to impress the presumable tyros with a fitting admiration for her skill, proceeded to cut the deck, while Bunce eyed her gloomyly and mentally criticised what he termed a "dirty rifle." His professional dignity was outraged by the fact that she had cut to the last card and then screened reunited the deck, and, forgetting himself, he was about to assert his rights and demand a new shuffle when a warning kick from Kirby checked him. "Ah, 'its your deal.' Muse, Davencer at longth exhibited, tendering the cards to Bunce. "First you must make the cards well-mix them, so—like you saw me. See, you sufficed as they call it. You think you can do that?" "Yes'm. I reckon I can git that fur." he ventured modestly. Taking the deck, he promptly forgot his role and proceeded to give a very fine demonstration of the professional shuffle, spreading the cards in the air between his hands until he resembled an expert bartender mixing drinks. This completed to his entire satisfaction, he spouted out the postboards in a deal of lightning like rapidity, while Mime. Davenac and the old judge sat bolt pright with astonishment. At length an extra desperate and well executed kick from Kirby checked the old gambler's stirring exhibition, and, covered with confusion, he dropped several cards to the door and, in order to hide his fanning checks, stooped and began to miserably grope for them. "You see," exclaimed Kirby, "my secretary is not so experienced as she might be. To speak candidently I would have let him go last month if it weren't that he is the only support of a wife and eleven children." "I wish I was in the lower regions" ground Bunce setto voce. "I'll see that you get your wish if you don't sit up here." replied Kirby. But soon it was Kirby's turn to gain that state of "absentmindedness fo, which he had measured his partner, for in the adjoining room Adele had commenced to sing, and all his thought promptly went out to her. his lips mutely repeating the words of the well remembered song, while his eyes grew as drowsy and abstracted as his mind. At length, when it was his turn to play, conscious only that he was holding a book of cards and consequently inferring that he must be in dulging in his bread and butter game of poker, he spread his hand face up upon the table. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. "Malheur!" exclaimed Mime. Darezac agast at this startling innovation. "He expose his hand." "I fear," commented the judge, rising and pushing back his chair, "that Colonel Moreau finds it difficult to play cards and listen to the voice of a bea- tiful woman at the same time." "And you cannot say that he have not good taste," commented Mime, Darezac. "I plead. We adjourn, then, to the music room. You will come, Colonel Moreau and monsieur the secret- Adele was still singing, Miss Pyleldy accompanying her, and, drawn by the soft harmony, M. Veaudry and Aron at length forsook the balcony and, as had the others, proceeded to make their way toward the music room. Their goal, however, was never attained, for as they stepped through the window into the deserted drawing room they were met by Poulette, one of the "French niggers." She carried a small bundle made of a knotted spotted handkerchief, and her manner attested that she was evidently laboring under the repressed excitement locating in discovering business not intended for her significance. Fo, she fact, and but completed the journey over old Group, who had permanently enjoined her with his attention and, unaware for so doing by his simple wife, had promptly and quite untruthfully charged Poulette with making his life unreliable by her unrequited affection to his person.

FIND BLUE PEARL LOST IT AGAIN Story of $100,000 Gem Reads Like "The Moonstone." Was Stolen From the Eye of Indian idol and Traced All Over the World. Found in New York Pawn Shop. A blue pearl worth $100,000, stolen from the eye of a statue of Buddha in India sought for five years all over the world and recovered in New York a few days ago, was stolen or lost again in Boston. Such is the strange narrative that Harris MacAdams, of London, tells MacAdams has the idea that some one, perhaps an East Indian devotee a Buddhist priest, perhaps, followed him first to New York and then to Boston, awaiting his chance to steal the pearl, to him priceless because of its sanctity. Of course Wilkie Collins told very much the same story, infinitely better, in "The Moonstone." MatAdams lays that as the temporary possessor of the blue pearl he was only an agent, a messenger he was acting for Major Pirle of the Seventeenth Lancera of his majesty's army Major Pirle, in turn, is acting for a firm of English solicitors, who represent the Rajah Rana. In the possession of this Indian potentate stands the temple whose statue of Budda, despite ceaseless watch and guard, was despoiled of the blue pearl and other sacred gems that adorned it. After ceaseless search for years, says MacAdams, the blue pearl was located in New York in the hands of a certain pawnbroker At Major Pirle's urging MacAdams hurried from London to New York. There he paid $38,600 to the pawnbroker, who thereupon handed over to him the blue pearl and ten pawn tickets for other gems that once adorned the inscrutable Buddha MacAdams says that the New York pawnbroker never saw these other gems, but bought the tickets from the person who pawned the blue pearl. 1. MacAdams says he engaged passage of the Zeeland, due to sail from here Tuesday In New York he was full of the idea that some one with designs on the pearl was following him. So he bought a small pigskin case, designed to be worn on the wrist like the watch of a golfer or an automobilist. In the case he put the blue pearl and the ten pawn tickets and wore the case strapped to his right wrist day and night. Taking train in New York, Mr MacAdams arrived in the South station here. He wished to get some small chango from his trousers pocket and found difficulty in thrusting his hand in his pocket; the pigskin case was in the way. He unstrapped the case and later, he thought, after getting the change from his pocket, he strapped the case to his wrist again. But he is not certain of this. He took a taxicab from the station to the Hotel Touraine, congratulating himself that the blue pearl had progressed safely so far back to Buddhha's orbit. MacAdams arrived at the hotel. The blue pearl, recovered with infinite pains and at enormous expense, was gone; the pawn tickets were gone; the pigkin case was gone. Never was a cleverer trick done by East Indian juggler—or by a New York crook. MacAdams said that he has put the case in the hands of detectives here. They will continue the search for the $100,000 pearl. So, it will be seen, the strange story which MacAdams tolls does not end like "The Moonstone." The blue pearl will not shed its soft luster as Buddhha's ore—for some time, at least. Was Pawned by Aotress A blue pearl figured in New York last summer. The pearl was said to be a perfect oval, weighed 12½ grains and was worth $140,000. It, too, had been stolen from the eye of an idol in a monastery in Lahore in 1879. This pearl was soight by His Highness Jagagit Singh, rajah of Bazaha, of Kapurthala. The sacred gem had been traced all over the world and finally into the hands of the late King Leopold, of Belgium. That gallant king, the tale ran, gave the pearl to Cleo Merode, who, needing money, as always, pawed it. Beau Admiral Hawke Dilea Rear Admiral James Albert Hawker retired, of Bristol, Pa., formerly medical director of the navy, died at the naval medical school hospital in Washington. He was aged sixty-nine years. His last active duty was at the naval hospital at Mare Island, Cal. Hla Tradarkrk. "I wish you didn't have such a flat and plobed bone, papa," said the ar- tocratic young daughter of the plain morghant. "That's the mark of the grindstone, my dear," replied the plobding old man. Cleveland Plain Dealer. WOMEN DROWN WHILE BATHING Vacation Trip Ends in a Double Tragedy. Mrs. Benjamin Ziff and Her Cousin, Miss Sarah Max, of Philadelphia, Lose Their Lives in River Near Welisport, Pa. Two young women, one of them a resident of Philadelphia, and the other, a cousin, a former resident of that city, were drowned in the Lehigh river at Welisport a small manufactu- turing town about four miles southeast of Mauch Chunk, Pa. A third young woman almost lost her life at the same time. The women were Miss Sarah Max, who was on a visit, and Mrs. Benjamin Ziff, aged twenty-four years the wife of a scrap iron dealer, who formerly lived in Philadelphia, but moved here with her husband about a year ago. Last week upon her invitation her two cousins, Miss Sarah Max her aged eighteen years, and Miss Beehil Max. aged twenty years, chine on to spend a fortnight's vacation with Mrs Ziff. Great preparations were made by Mr and Mrs Ziff to entertain their guests. These included the purchase of a rowboat for excursions on the river, the 1igh at this season being an attractive place. The Misses Max brought along bathing suits for them selves and also one for Mrs. Ziff. While Mr Ziff was busy with his work the three young women walked down the tow path to a spot below the station of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, where they entered the water to bathe. At this point the river and the canal merge. The young women evidently misassociated the depth of the water which was very clear. After taking only a few steps in the river they got to a spot where the bottom dipped abruptly, and they sank beyond their depth. None of the three could swim and no help was near. According to the account of Miss Beulah Max the survivor, they struggled and screamed with all their might. After an almost superhuman effort, although she was unable to swim, Miss Beulah reached shore. She was so exhausted she could not move to help them when she saw her sister and cousin drown in the clear water she could see where they went down and where their bodies lay. Hoping against hope that if the bodies were taken out at once there might be a chance for resuscitation, Miss Max half staggored and half crawled to the nearest house, 600 feet away. When she arrived there she was so exhausted that for a time she could not talk. Her condition and the signs she made, however, told plainly of the accident that had happened. She was carried back to the river bank. There, between gasps for her breath she told of the drowning, and as she pointed into the water the bodies of the drowned women were seen. William Reed and William Emory dived and brought the dead women to shore. Dr Reber was summoned, and he, with the aid of the rescuers and others, worked nearly an hour until all hope of reviving the women was given up. Then the bodies were carried to the home of Mr Ziff The bereaved husband falted and the rescued girl in is a precarious condition from her experience SHOT TO DEATH IN A CLOSET Bitter Feeling Between Rivals Ends In Murder. In a quarrel over a woman at Nas sawadow, near Cape Charles, Va Nathan Wyatt, twenty-five years old, shot and killed Almer Satchell, thirty five years old. Bad feeling had existed between the two men for some time. The men met on a road, when Satchell drew his gun and fired upon Wyatt, the ball entering his arm. Satchell then ran to the home of a brother of Wyatt's and concealed himself in a closet. Wyatt, after procuring a revolver followed Satchell to the house and, breaking down the door of the closet where he was concealed shot him over the heart killing him instantly. After the shooting Wyatt surrendered to the authorities Death In Ice Cold Drink Alfred Young, of Weatherly emplored on the farm of Hiram Schuler in Evergreen Valley, near Hastellion Pa., dropped over dead in the field after drinking a glass of ice cold lemonade.

R WRIGHT. Oklahoma 'Experiment station.' Many persons who desire to transfer their bees do not understand the best method to use to make the operation a success, hence detailed directions are given below. Secure a bee vell, a smoker, a long bladed knife, the wire from an old broom or two, a pair of wire pilers and cutter, two or three rolls of old cotton cloth, some muskets, a piece of stout string, an ax or hatchet, and a pair of gloves. If you wish to protect your hands from possible stings. Place the new hive near the colony to be transferred and have about half of the frames full of foundation, the remaining four or five frames are to be reserved for holding comb taken, a little later from the old hive. The wires may be passed around the frames lengthwise, but such an arrangement will make it necessary to remove the frames from the hive at a later date, after the combs which have been held in place by the wires, have been securely fastened to the frames. After starting a good smoke in the bee smoker, putting on the bee cell and gloves, tying down the trouser legs, one is all ready to make the transfer. An assistant is desirable but not a necessity. Take from the new hive the frames that are to contain the combs to be cut from the old hive, and place them on a wide board or a small table. Now go to the colony and puff in some smoke at the entrance, then jar the hive by light blows then puff in more smoke and jar the hive again. This should be done four or five times to cause the bees to fill themselves with honey. Bees with well-filled honey sacks are not inclined to sting. A forenoon hour or some pleasant day should be chosen for this operation. There are some advantages in wrapping strings about frames instead of using wires, for the bees will remove the strings; while the wires will remain until removed by the aparliter. A small whisk broom or turkey feather will be a great aid in encouraging the bees to travel in the right direction. After the preliminary smoking and drumming the hive should be turned bottom up and an empty box put on top, and the drumming and smoking continued until most of the bees have passed up into the box. The new hive, now standing where the old hive stood, will soon have returning workers rushing in and out, so the new hive should be supplied with combs from the old ones as quickly as possible, then the box of bees should be shaken into the top or onto a board or paper in front. Care should be taken that not many bees are crushed and that nearly all get into the new hive, or the queen may be lost, bringing about failure. Scraps of honey should be carried to the house and honey drips carefully washed up, or there may be a bad case of robbing.

The garden should be cultivated frequently and the plants forced to early maturity The only really successful garden is the clean garden RID FIELDS OF GRASSHOPPER Ingenious Device Called Hopperdoser Excellent Exterminator of injurious Insect. A hopperdoser is an ingenious device for Ridding the fields of grasshoppers. It is a long, shallow pan of a sheet iron, set on runners and tearing Before it a banner or sail made of canvas or muslin stretched on a wooden frame. The bottom of the pan is covered with rags or old carpet, previously wetted with water. When all is ready, a pint of kerosene is poured over the wet rags, and the banner of cloth is also molested with kerosene. The dozer is then dragged on its run. A Hopperdozer. ners over the field and the grasshopper either jump in or try to jump over, in which case they strike the cloth at the back and fall back into the oil' A more touch of the oil kills them. It may take a thif a minute if the insect falls directly into it or it may take half an hour if the insect simply alights on the banner molested with the oil, no matter whether the insect dies immediately or takes a little time, it is sure to die eventually. The great majority of the hoppers that jump into the pan, jump out again at once but they die just as certainly and almost as quickly as if they remained. DURABLE ROLLER FOR GARDEN May Be Made of Piece of Tilling With Vacant Space Filled in With Cement and Stones. A durable garden roller may be made of a piece of tiling. It should be burnt to a glaze and the best size is about two feet in diameter. Set it upon a board and place a piece of gas pipe directly through the center passing it two inches through a hole in the board. It should project above the tile the same distance. Fill in the open tile to the top with cement mixed with some broken stones or bits of brick or crockery. Face the ends with the clear mixture of sand and cement. Your blacksmith will make a handle for a dollar and you will have an excellent and handy roller. FARM NOTES Plant the rows all one way—north and south—so the sun can strike both sides. Keep the hoe going in dry weather and you will not need the watering pot often. The wheel hoe will save many a backache and do the work of three hand hoes. Making a good garden is a man's job. Do not leave the hard work to the women folks. Wild strawberries have the most delicious flavor. They are easily transplanted to the garden. Cauliflower can be grown more easily than cabbage. It is always in demand and at good prices. A handful of grain dug into an ant hill will bring the chickens to it and then good by to the insects. Do not plant short rows but let them run the whole length of the garden if need be—why not? Do not molest the bees after they get to work and give them an abundance of room in which to store honey. The agricultural department figures out that the annual waste of barn yard manure on American farms, aggregates $125,000,000 The use of comb foundation has made possible the production of straight brood and extract combs and marketable comb honey A plant of Swiss chard sown adjoining the poultry yard will supply groes all summer provided the fowls are not allowed to eat it more than an hour a day Don't keep bees unless you mean to give them the proper care and attention. If you can't do that you had better leave some one else keep the bees and buy your honey from him. Water for Bees Plenty of water is absolutely necessary for bees; an abundant supply should be provided, to obviate the necessity of their going to streams and contaminated pools a long distance away in brood rearing, bees make little progress without plenty of water. Irrigate the Garden. Irrigation of the garden can be made to pay in the corn belt during the hot, dry season of summer. A little water at the right time does a world of good. In this connection a gasoline engine and some hose would pay well. Men and Money How people love money, and how they like to abuse other people for loving it--Atchison Globe. Wedding Note.

Distinct Revival of These Fabrics Is Noticeable and Entire Rooms Are Furnished With Them. If you rejoice in a grandmother's trunk, lift the lid and bring to the light of day the pieces of old fashioned china or crotonne for now is the season when a distinct revival of these fabrics is noticeable. If you do not possess the supply left from other years, the upholstery department of any large store will offer a wide choice. For summer the furnishing of entire rooms with china or crotonne is inexpensive and gives a delightfully cool and clean appearance. After the general decoration is finished there will be small pieces that certainly should not be constrained to the scrap bag for many articles used to make the equipment of a room or porch complete can be constructed of the old pieces. For the summer bedroom a little photograph frame to match the curtains or scarf on the bureau is easily constructed from pasteboard covered with chitux. In making paste for chitux or, in fact, any cloth follow these directions. To one cup of whole wheat flour add a cup of cold water and then two cups of boiling water. Boil the mixture for five minutes and add one teaspoonful of alum dissolved in a little water Place in an uncovered jar after straining through cheesecloth. This last ten days. If chitux has invaded your dress—and let the merits of this material be sounded from the housetops a card case to match the scarf on your hat can be quickly made over very thin cardboard. The summer case is a combination of beauty and usefulness, it can be made of a small square of chinats. Pillows for the porch or cushions for wicker chairs are always acceptable. Larger pieces are required for these, but the combination of chinats with plain colors points a way for the utilization of a limited piece of material. For the umbrella holder chinzt again can be used. The funnel shape is cut at home, the curved rounded surface being clasped to the long pointed back by brass clamps. Good galloon or lace is an effective elonging for this convenient holder, that need not be hidden from view, but forms a good-looking decoration in a chinzt room The long, wooden hatholder with its round top and base is purchasable at large stores. When covered with chints, pasted on, it affords another accessory that adds to the good looks of a room. Chints is sufficiently supple to be turned over various surfaces, while the utilization of little ends onends it to the economical and artistic woman Novelties In Parasols Most elaborate paranols for after nooa costumes are developed in brocades, with deep fringes made from lacos and other novelty braids of similar character Quite a new idea is the introduction of triangular paranols of metal not or lace on silk rib points. This, in conjunction with the brocade and the deep fringed border, makes a very handsome effect These fringes are not the old old fashioned silk thread fringe, but are formed of novelty ribbon braid and give quite a new effect Handsome paranols covered with black and white lace have foundations of gold and silver cloth or gold not. Other novelties in paranols are lined with metal nets, textifying to the great vogue for metal. Blue and White Foulards Blue and white foulards in a boat of designs are much favored, and almost every house worth mentioning has turned out good looking models in this coloring, though the dotted foulard has lost cast, and little cubes, squares, octagons, etc. with an occasional striped design are preferred. Attractive foulard models are also shown in the popular black and white coloring, the foulard often combine more or less freely with plain black satin. A black satin coat and skirt band with bodice and upper skirt of foulard make a practical and modular trotting suit, and there are numerous models on the same general lines shown by prominent designers. Editor After Devil's Job William Gothen, Jr., told about the Missourian who went to the lower regions and had no sooner arrived than he took general charge and was ordering the little devil around when the real devil appeared. "You got like you own this place," he said to the Missourian. "I do." said the Missourian. "Where did you get it?" "My wife gave it to me before I left home." To the question "How old are the Niagara falls?" geologists have returned replies varying by tens of thousands of years. At first it was estimated that the Niagara river came into existence through changes in the level of the land around the great lakes about 55,000 years ago. Later this was reduced to only 12,000 years. Lyell increased the estimate again to 3,500 years and still later other scientists towered it to about 9,000 years.

It is printed PLEASE SEE MR. A L COP PLEASE ROLLING MEMPHIS THAT HORRIBBIT BUTCHERING Good news where it is that of late our outpost of town was laid with horror the flood that had harried accounts of that will assault us of coloured people Texas. From the storm shortly after nozes of crops was evidently afflicted by the signs of the horrible slang that everywhere met his fate. The affliction occurred in the sloth and the nison Springs neighborhood near Palette Texas. Reports were sent out that Nigro were slaughtering whites that they were well armed and plentifully supplied with ammunition and that they had killed planers and state troops when as a matter of fact they were running like rabbits before hunters and were about as harmless. The telegraphic reports which give a true description of the massacre real as follows. Palestine Texas July 14 At least 15, and it may be 20 nigros were hunted down and killed by a mob numbering perhaps 200 or 300 men in the Sieum and Denison Springs neighborhood of Palestine last night and yesterday according to the opinion of Sheriff Black pressed today. The sheriff returned early morning after a 24 hour absence in that district where racial trouble has been noted and described in some detail the conditions which he found to exist here. He told of a four man hunt in the woods, or riddled bodies found on lonely roads and of the terror almost indescribable among the inhabitants in the southeastern part of Anderson county. Sheriff Black is sure that his extinction of the dead is conservative, he said he had a careful investigation mode. Sheriff Black is quoted as follows We won't find some of the bodies until the location is revealed to us by the buzzards. I found the greatest excitement prevailing throughout that section of the country. Men were going about and killing negroes as fast as they could find them and so far as I have been able to ascertain without any real cause at all. These negroes have never done anything that I could do cover. There was just a hot headed gang hunting them down and killing them. We found 11 dead bodies but from what I have heard the dead must number 15 or 29. We came across four bodies in one house on a match between Denlson Springs and Stocum. This then is the testimony of the democratic sheriff who is evidently no Negro-lover yet the horriliness of the slaughter so impressed him that he bluntly told the whole truth. These colored people were not only harmless, but they had never done naught to any one. He tells the story further. 'I don't know how many there were in the mob but I think there must have been two or three hundred, altogether. I understand that Mrs George Scarborough, of Slocum, saw a party of 40 or 50 through her field. Some of them cut the wires and went through on horseback and some of them walked through. They went down the street and the golf dead bodies. One negro had been killed at this house the night before and three wore sitting up with the remains, one of them being an old and whiteheaded negro. "These three were killed right where they were found." To further emphasize the absolute heartlessness of the slaughter and the absolute lack of justification therefor, he said: ... "So far as I can learn, the necroes were not armed. I have been somewhat disabled by a runaway accident, and therefore could not make a personal investigation of this point, but I sent two detectives out through that county to collect all the arms they could find in the houses of the negroes. They made a thorough search, but found only nine shotguns, none of which seemed to have been fired lately and about thirty shells, all loaded with small shotgun only way to save the living is for the dying to leave their mark behind in the obliteration of their murderers. When colored men buy their own homes and their own rifles and their own shotguns and their own ammunition these kind of killing excursions will not be popular in the section of the country where these kind of colored people live. lution or hill under suspension, it requires a two-thirds majority vote, and as usual, the Democratic members, particularly from the South, were there in sufficient number to prevent its passage by a two-thirds majority, but it carried heavily, and will, when brought up in its regular order at the next session, undoubtedly pass the House without the slightest difficulty. The Independent. A STAUNCH FRIEND OF THE NEGRO This then confirms the opinion that it was a brutal slaughter of helpless unarmed people who had never done any harm to any one and who were never liable to do so. They were simply butchered by a mob of irresponsible white cowards, the lowest type of the white face and a disgrace to that class of people whose accomplishments in science, literature and art have given them the foremost place in the world's history. It is not to be wondered that the better classes of white people are hanging the itch it has in shine and demanding that white men of this type and character shall be somnally punished. The sheriff said. I am led to believe that the main trouble was due to a controversy over a professory note. This may not be true but that is the impression I have at this stage of the investigation R. Afford a white man who is a cripple and gone on a negro note. The note came due and he got after the negro to renew it or pay it or something of the kind and the negro would not do it and cursed him. The indictor caused bad feeling. Then I was sent to the court and the negro put trouble with him. At length they accused that he had whipped one somebody saw this negro slip on to Springs' house. This negro was killed and that they were to kill them over the country. I have been king to Mr. Sultan. I have told me two wives, a sister and a wivesday. I have met the king of the city of Philadelphia. I have the king of the crowd of colonists. He is the king of the county and a kinging to what I am told the showing was going on late yes to day evening. They were hunting the negroes down like sheep. We don't two in the road that had been shot about 9 o'clock night before host. It was evident that at the time they were killed they were trying to get out of the county for they had their bundles of clothes with them. He continued Because of my disabled condition, I got to see only two babies myself but my deputies found dead negroes scattered around everywhere. General all they had been killed with bookbill. I have now two deputies down here and these are working in conjunction with the raiders who went down last night. If I am able to ride to tomorrow I shall go back myself. I hope that the situation is now under control. Our first I heard about this story was about 11 o'clock a Friday night when the sheriff of Houston court is appointed me that a white man had killed two negroes in his county near the line and wanted to know if I would not meet him at a trap and go with him to make the arrest. At 12 o'clock he telephoned me that it had all happened in my county and then I got ready and sent two men on down there and I went yesterday morning. He still forbids L everybody was armed with shot guns. They had the women and children all bunched up in places and were guarding them. Many people were so scared and excited that they could hardly tell their own names. The people right above Sloom and Denson Springs were not in the mob but this other gang had been setting out our safety reports that hundreds of nerosques to the teeth were coming from Cherokee county. They telephoned me early yesterday morning that two hundred nerosques were at Denson Springs heavily armed and when we got there we found one negro and he was not armed but he was badly scared. If reports that I have had given to me are to be credited there must be fifteen or twenty dead, all of them nerosques. It will be difficult to find out just how many were killed because the dead are scattered all over the woods. Some will probably never be found. Arrests have been made and eight of the lynchers are in jail charged with first degree murder. The better element of white people are evidently ashamed of this record. These reports have gone over the whole civilized world and as a result, emigration to the southern states will be checked. No man will want to go where human life is so cheap and where the sworn officers of the law are only able to meet hoens of dead men have been left as prey for the buzards. There are some people, who advocate this defenseless conduction on the part of colored people in order to prevent the slaughter of more of them. We have never been able to subscribe to this phase of the question Negro hunts are popular because they are hardly ever dangerous. The women at home are not harrowed and uneasy for fear that their fathers, husbands and brothers may be injured in the contest. They know that the end will be dead Negroes and live white men. They know too that post mortem arrest are useless expenditure of time and money on the part of the state and that other white men and women will come to the relief of the murders and defy the expense of the trial, even if liberal minded, justice loving white men are intent upon securing a conviction of the guilty parties. For our part, we think that the only way to save the living is for the dying to leave their mark behind in the obliteration of their murderers. When colored men buy their own homes and their own rifles and their own shot guns and their own annuition these kind of killing excursions will not be popular in the section of the country where these kind of colored people live. The wild, reckless, dissolute colored men have no business to have deadly weapons, but those of the law abiding tax paying peaceable kind should be properly protected.

Dr Washington Explains—A Se Back, But Not a Defeat—The South 'gainst It Editor of The Richmond PLANET Richmond, Va My dear Sir, Various members of our race and many organizations, have been so very kind in assisting to get the bill through congress appropriating $ to be used in defying the expenses of a preliminary commission to investigate and report upon the wisdom of holding a Sent Centennial of 1717. Negro freedom in 1917 that I found that a perfectly frank statement of what has been done and the present progress for the legislation ought to be made. THE PRESIDENT'S SUGGESTION I cannot take in the first place, the idea of a preliminary commission was first suggested by President Taft and this idea as is well known was urged upon Congress in his last message it seemed to all of us at the time that the course by which President Taft was the wisest to pursue, and if Congress had seen its way clear to have carried out the Ident Taft's wish matters would have been by this time. Importantly how ever that was the approach upon business before Congress that it seemed impossible to reach the Exposition bill in the regular course of committee reports before the ad-journment of Congress. THOSE WHO ADVISED IT Hon W. A. Rodenberg of Illinois with the consent and co-operation of Hon E. L. Taylor Jr of Ohio both of whom charged charge of the bill thought it wise to have the bill called up under a suspension of the rules in order to expedite the matter. When a bill is called up under suspension of the rules, two third majority is required to pass it. Unfortunately, when the bill was called up certain Democrats thought the Republicans were simply trying to pass the bill in order to make politically capital out of it. Consequently it was made a party measure practically all the Republicans voting in favor of it and practically all the Democrats voting against it. It will be seen that a large majority of the members of the lower house favored the bill. The exact number was 189 SIGNATOR JONES DID ALL HE COFLD Lougent to add that Senator W. L. Jones of Washington chairman of the Senate Committee on Exposition- did all he could in favor of the bill along with Congressman Roderberg and Congressman Taylor, President Taft also manifested the deepest interest and did all he could to bring about the passage of the bill by Congress. All who are interested in the Exposition are greatly obligated to him, to Congressman Roderberg to Congressman Taylor, and to Senator Jones, who from the first have shown the deepest interest in trying to get the bill through Congress. There are also other members of Congress who deserve the thanks of our race for their activity and interest in behalf of the bill. ANOTHER EXPLANATION. In order that the race may see just how matters stand at present, I give portions of letters received on the subject. In a recent letter, Congressman Roddenberg says, 'As you are probably aware, my resolution providing for the appointment of a preliminary commission to investigate the question of the advisability of holding an exposition to commemorate the semi-centennial of the Negro's freedom in America was defended on Monday, as it failed to get the necessary two-birds vote. The vote stood 189 to 87. The votes in opposition to the resolution came entirely from the Democratic side. I will state, however, that we have no intention to be itself discouraged. It is any purpose to bring out a bill at the short session providing for holding an exposition of this kind, and securing consideration on Calendar Wednesday, wholly only a majority will be necessary to pass the bill. I believe it will be an easy matter to get this majority in a Republican Congress. CONGRESSMAN TAYLOR'S OPINION Congressman Taylor writes as follows "I have your letter of June 22. The bill has not failed. In order that you may understand the situation and not feel that we have lost a good fight, I will say that the resolution providing for the commission was on the regular calendar, and it became ordained under the rule of the Committee on industrial Arts and Expositions would not be reached in its regular order. For that reason, Mr. Rodonberg procured the consent of the speaker to be recognised under a suspension of the rules. In order to put through a reco- lution or bill under suspension, it requires a two-thirds majority vote, and as usual, the Democratic members, particularly from the South, were there in sufficient number to prevent its passage by a two-thirds majority, but it carried heavily, and will, when brought up in its regular order at the next session, undoubtedly pass the House without the slightest difficulty. AN HONEST EFFORT This was an honest and sincere effort to get the bill out sooner than it would have been called up on the regular calendar, and therefore, as I stated in the beginning, it is not a defeat, but only a temporary setback and leaves the resolution exactly where it was before it was called up. The Senate will pass it, it will pass in the short session of the Sixty first Congress, and am in deed sorry that we could not put it through successfully at this session." WILL TRY AGAIN Senator Jones of Washington, who had charge of the bill in the Senate, has written to similar effect. He plans at the coming session to cooperate in the effort to secure favorable action at the hands of Congress. At the coming session of the National Negro Business League the whole matter will be considered and in all probability new plans will be decided upon Before any definite decision is made Professor R R Wright the members of the preliminary committee and others interested in the movement will be consulted. Certainly no harm has come from what has thus far been attempted. That position of the subject has resulted in calling the attention of the nation to the important of this celebration in some form it is safe to say the event will be duly recognized and celebrated in 1913 BOOKER T WASHINGTON Tuskegee Institute Alabama July 2, 1910 REGISTER VERON'S PREDICAMENT Wanted in Both Places—Will Hold His Present Place Washington, August 1, 14 Colored circles here were set again last Sunday by a tilt the Sunday dailies coming out with a story intimately that Dr W T Vernon would resign his position as Register of the Treasury. The newspapers intimated that he had also resigned his place as president of Quindaro University in Kangas. In the same newspapers appeared an interview with the Register in which he denied that he had resigned as president of Quindaro University, and also his denial that he would resign as Register of the Treasury. In view of the fact that The Christian Recorder carried a statement, under the name of Bishop A Grant, to the president of Quindaro University, and also resigned the presidency of Quindaro University, the fact that The Poet Piohlaimov carried a statement that after resigning the presidency of Quindaro in June Dr Vernon had returned to Topeka last month to see the Governor not about securing the presidency of the institution again and in view of a rumor that Bishop Grant had stated that he had again been elected president the people here are all up in the air as to the Doctor's real status It is also reported that Re (Dr Vernon) told several friends here, who announced it that he had resigned the presidency of the institution in Kansas When Bishop Grant writes an article stating Dr Vernon has resigned the presidency of Quindaro, and Dr Vernon in an interview gives out a positive statement that he has not resigned the people are wondering who is correct. At any rate the publication of this report of bringing out number of candidates for Register of the Treasury, a position Dr Vernon also positively announces he will not resign from Dr Vernon founded and built up Quindaro University to its present commanding position as an institution of learning and as Register of the Treasury he has made a popular official with many of his colored friends.

Nervous Reaction Real Cause, Says "Bob" Armstrong. Boston, Mass., July 31.—Big Bob Armstrongq, the heavyweight-pugilist who was a member of Jim Jeffries' training camp from the time the once heavyweight champion first began active training for his fight with Jack Johnson, entertains only one belief in regard to the white man's downfall. He is positive that nervous reaction, following months of the hardest kind of training, was responsible for Jeffries' defeat. "You can say for me, and put it as strong as you like, that it was notching more or less than nervous reaction that beat Jim Jeffries," said Bob "All the excuses that are being offered for Jeff's defeat are amusing and as many of them come from men who assisted in preparing Jim for his fight with Johnson it is only natural that they should try to protect themselves as far as possible. CONSTANTLY TOLD OF RESPON SIBILITY. 'How did Jeffries nervous break down come about?' Simplie enough. You know Jeffries is not much of a fellow for talking about himself or giving public exhibitions, and when he began training in earnest tons of letters and telegrams began to pour in upon him, telling him of the trust the white race placed in him and of his friends stalking their last dollar on him to win them over against exactly that sort of thing before, and naturally it preyed on his mind it was not until the last couple of months of his training that I first began to take notice of his nervousness. "Mind you, it was not the fact that he was going to fight Johnson that worried him. It was the everlasting crowd of lightseakers that crowded his camp. As the time of the fight drew nearer these people jammed the gymnasium daily, hoping to get a chance to see Jeff do some boxing, and I want to say right now that if the white people, his friends, had kept away and let him train as he wanted to there would have been no nervousness and fewer fishing trips. "It happened day after day that he had planned to do some boxing, and when he would come in from his road work he would ask Choynaki 'Jack', Jeffries, 'Farmer' Burns and myself to get ready, but when he made the change he him and get flashed. Instead." "Don't you ever believe that it was lack of condition or lack of boxing exercise that beat Jeffries. He was in as grand physical condition when he stepped into that ring at Reno' as I ever saw a man. He was awfully nervous though, and had been for three of four days before the fight." STRONG IN DRESSING ROOM "I guess I was one of the first to see that his body was a good deal hotter than it ought to be for a fellow who was in grand shape. That was the nervousness, and it increased steadily until the boll rang for the men to start fighting." Armstrong long said that Jeffries was as strong as ever in his dressing room before the fight, and roughhed his trainers about an unceremoniously he over did. It was the tumultuous reception that was accorded him as he made his way to the ringside and the deafening roar that greeted him when he climbed through the ropes that completely unstrung the former and made him easy prey for Johnson, according to Arm strong's boll. "And you might mention also that kidding in Jeffries' corner did not do him any good, other. Say from me that there were altogether too many people in Jeffries' corner who wanted to get into the pictures, instead or trying to calm their man. "Put it as plainly as you want to that I think Joffries got too much advice and from too many sources. In stead of rattling Johnson, the kidding behind Jeff and he would have been better advised and I would have had less advice and few advisers and had been allowed to plan his own fight. A LOT OF NEEDLESS ADVICE "Can any one conceive of those fells in Jim's corner—and I won't mention any names—telling him how to fight? Wasn't he the champion, and didn't he lick every man who sought to tell him how to lick Johnson? On the face of it, it sure looks as if Joffries knew how to fight better than the man he had licked. "If Joffries had not been listening to the advice that was hollered at him he wouldn't have taken so many punches either, for he fought like an amateur turning his head every time a piece of advice was shouted at him. "Every time Corbett and the rest of the 'wise ones' in his corner yelled at Johnson, all Jack did was to step back out of range, and then make some tantalizing reply. I tell you, for experts, those wise follows in Joffries' corner did more to hurt him than Johnson." FRAME-UP CRAZY YARN. Asked point-blank if there was any possibility of there being any truth in the report that Jeffries had understood that the fight was fixed and Johnson this to lie down. Armstrong replied with beat: "That's a crazy yarn. Why should Jeffries want anybody to lay down? Did any one before ever hurt him? Jack Johnson is the champion, and I must proud that one of my race holds the championship title, but let me may that Johnson was never in Joff's class when he was fighting right. Why then should Jim have been afraid of him and want him to quit? "What talk about a frame-up is all red. Now just let me give you a couple of instances in connection with the fight that may convince the public that everything was on the level. "When Tox Rickard came to Joff's camp at Rowdennan and told him that the fight could not be held in Prisso, but would have to be transformed to Nevada. Joffries was pretty near and the whole thing came very near being called off right then and there. "I heard Jeffries himself finally consent to fight in Neyada just to save Rickard from further financial loss. It was as a favor to Rickard pure and simple that he consented to go ahead with the match AFRAID JOHNSON WOULD QUIT "Then Rickard kept running over to Jeff's camp at Reno every little while for a week before the fight and I afterward learned that it was in regard to splitting the purse "Johnson wanted to divide the money evenly, but Jeff stuck to the original articles. 75 and 20 per cent and only agreed to cut it 60 and 40 when there was danger of Johnson quitting cold "I think it might poor business for the men who promoted the fight to tell so many secrets in connection with it after it was all over. If there was anything to be told the public should have known of it be- fore the fight took place." When "Bob" was asked if he thought Jeffries could defeat Johnson if they ever met again he was noncommittal. "You can gamble every cent you've got that 'Je' would fight 100 per cent better," he said. "What he needs is two or three flights before he again tackles Johnson though. It will probably be some time before any one will be found who can beat Johnson, but believe me he is not the great fighter people think he is, and the first man that presses him close will see him running like a rabbit from a hound. According to Armstrong, Langford has the best chance of any of the contenders just now to beat Johnson and Johnson knows this too says Bob." 'Langford is just the type of fighter to fight Johnson where he ought to be fought' in the body. The Bossman is strong quick, immensely clever and a terrific bitter and has improved a whole lot since he fought Johnson fifteen rounds in Chelsea a few years ago. To my mind Johnson had not added anything since then except, perhaps confidence. JACK JOHNSON MUST FIGHT LANGFORD OR CRAWL Latter's $20,000 Side Bet to Be Posted in a Few Days—Joe Woodman, Gibson and Hughes Say the Negro Champion Soon Will He Driven Into a Corner. Jack Johnson will have to fight Langford or get out of this country," said Joseph Woodman manager of Langford, yesterday "A forfeit and side fee of $200 will be posted inside of the next five days. In half of Langford and unless Johnson covers the money blinding a match inside of twenty days after the coin goes in Langford will lay claim to his little Joseph Hughes, a New York man who thinks Langford can whip Johnson has guaranteed to furnish the $20,000 side bet demanded by Johnson Mr Hughes is well known as a boxing enthusiast and has been anxious to see Langford mix it up with Johnson for a long time. "Personally I believe Langford can stop Johnson in a fight of twenty rounds or more Johnson is overrated Jeffries, poor fellow, was a back number when he got into the ring at ReaO. I never believed Jeff could come back and when I saw him stand up for the first round I was sure that he would lose. But do you know that Johnson was afraid of him it's a fact Why. Johnson didn't dare to extend himself for ten rounds because he didn't know whether Jeff was a counterfelt or not. Then as he realized he was up against a punching bag he sailed in Johnson's victory, in my opinion, wasn't much to drag about for Langford or Kaufman of Johnson. He was half the time Talk is cheap in pugilism and I know that Johnson has been accusing us of bluffing because we didn't have $20,000 to bet on the six several months ago, but we got the money now and as soon as we post it the public will quickly learn who is on the level." "I can vouch for Mr. Hughes," said President Gibson of the Fairmont A C yesterday. "He is a member of my club and has plenty, of money. As a matter of fact he handed me a $10,000 bill, the first I ever saw, two weeks. ago and told me to give it to Woodman as part of the side bet Mr. Hughes didn't care to be known in the matter, as but Johnson insisted on $20,000, thinking that Woodman couldn't command that much ready money. Mr Hughes agreed to put up the entire amount, and fur therefore he tells me he will wager money. He says he will wager side odds. Johnson has got to make a match with Langford or crawl. Personally I think Johnson will refuse to fight, for he knows Langford is too dangerous a proposition for him to take chances with. But Langford is going to corner him just the same so that he public will know who is to blame if there is no match." "Jim Driscoll, who saw Langford knock out an Iman Hague, the English heavyweight champion, in London a year ago, told me that Langford's exhibition of gameness was wonderful. Hague, a terrific hitter, knocked him down several times in the early rounds, but could make no impression. When Langford scored the knockout with one short punch on the jaw Driscoll declared the trick was done so quickly that few of the spectators could understand it. That is why English sporting men regard Langford as the king and have accused Johnson of being afraid to meet him. The fact that Johnson refused an offer of $10,000 made by me a year ago for a six round bout with Langford proved to my satisfaction that he was afraid of THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. the Boston slugger and I see no reason to change my opinion" "I will furnish the entire sum of $20,000 within a week," said Joseph Hughes yesterday. "Langford has been a later Johnson for three years and now the latter's own proposition will be accepted Langford can beat this big bluffer and my money says so" Langford is a slight favorite over Kaufman for their six round bout at Shiba Park, Philadelphia, next Wednesday night. Interest in this affair is increasing to such an extent that the managers expect a crowd of 20,000 spectators. Bert Crowhurst has been agreed upon as the referee. —New York Sun. August 5, 1910 Y. M.

August 2- Two strong addresses, racial in character, and delivered by distinctly racial individuals have proven to be the strongest catures of the past week a work at the National Religious Traint in School and Chautauqua during the past week "What's the Matter with Sambo," the highly humorous but instructive address delivered by the Rev. Dr C S Morris, of New York, and the Rev. Dr. Carl Newark, of Philadelphia, on "Paul Laurence Dunbar, the Negro Poet" drawing perhaps more appreciation from the critical audience that faces the speaker in Avery Auditorium. Dr. Morris took occasion in his address to give some more or less valuable advice to the Negroes in the South with reference to their life and conduct down here while Mr. Alexander, by reason of his wide experience as a man of letters and partly because of an intimate acquaintance with Dunbar was able to give his hearers many hitherto unapproached angles with reference to the dead poet's character, and opened up many scenes of beauty with reference to his life and work. Francis A Clark, lp the meantime, has developed some kind of reputation as a speaker, and for one hour, delightfully filled in an interrupted program with an impromptu "History of Music," which more than proved him to be a master of the art he loves so well. Another announcement of significance with reference to the future of the work of the training school is the one concerning the future activities of the well known T. P. Smith, at present president and manager of Smith's Business College, Lynchburg, Va. Prof. Smith at his school in Lynchburg has turned out perhaps more stochographers and bookkeeper than any other one agent in the South, and for the summer chauautqua has had charge of the commercial work, which includes banking, insurance, typowriting, shorthand and bookkeeping. He will give up his work at Lynchburg at the beginning of the season, and will be a permanent fixture on the faculty of the National Religious Training School. President James E.

Alleged Murderer and Map of Ocean Pursuit PURCARLIE, MASTER OF THE CITY OF LYBERPOOL WILLIAMS STATION LYBERPOOL HURDUSRY JULIEBOT CRIPPEN READY TO RETURN Murder Suspect Will Make No Trouble. Ethel Leneve is too ill to Appear if Court, and Was Sent to a Hospital—Relatives Urge Her to Tell All Dr Hawley H Crippen who with Ethel Clara Leneve, was arrested on the steamer Montrose announced in Quebec, Canada that he would not resist extradition to England to stand trial for the murder of a woman believed to be the missing wife, Belle Moore Crippen was remanded for fifteen days. At the expiration of that time he will be sent back to England, unless in the magazine he decides to fight extradition Crippen's companion in flight was to have been arrested, but her custodians reported to the court that she was too ill to appear The authorities are confident that the woman will give no more trouble than Crippon promises to, and that as soon as the fifteen days of grace provided by the extradition laws of Canada have expired both prisoners can be returned to London without any bitch. When Crippon and the girl were arrested on board the incoming steamer Montrose they were charged with an identical crime, the murder and mutilation of an unknown woman. It had been expected that both would be arraigned at once and deported upon the steamer Royal George that will sell for England Thursday. However Dew the Scotland Yard inspector required instructions which changed the program. The English officials do not wish anything done that would give the appearance of trailing the prisoners. They wish the formalities of extradition followed to the letter, so that the prisoners shall not escape through any technicalities of the law. Clark Leneve was transferred from the Provincial jail to a hospital. The girl scarcely has been able to stand since her collapse when she was taken into custody. Her condition has exited much sympathy and the jail keepers suggested to the court that she be sent to a hospital where she could receive medical attention, of which she is plainly in need. The court granted the request and went further in making known its intention to send an official to the hospital to take her answers to the same formal question that were asked of Crippen in open court. This will spare the woman the shock of appearing in court, and under the circumstances it is deemed adveniable not to aggravate the strain under which she is already suffering. The girl's family in London appears to be doing all in their power to aid her add at the same time to promote the cause of justice. During the day she received three cablegrams from her relatives. One of these messages urged her to tell everything and another besought her to remember her own family, not matter how great might be her love for Crippen. Dr. Hawley H. Crippen and his typist, Ethel Clara Loneve, attired in boy's clothes, were arrested by Canadian police on board the Inner Montrose off Father Point, Quebec, being charged with the murder of the physician's wife, Holle Blimore Crippen, the flesh of whose body was found buried in quicktime in the cellar of their London home. Dr. Crippen took his arrest quietly. "I am the man," he said, when approached by Chief McCarthy and Chief Dennals, of the Dominion police, and being pointed out as the fugitive by Inspector Dew, of Scotland Yard. Miss Loneve was found in her stateroom, dressed as a boy and badly frightened. She collapsed utterly when placed under arrest, becoming hysterical, she was given in charge of --- a physician, who will remain at her bodisie. It is reported that Dr Crippen admitted knowledge of his wife's tragic death, but how far his confession went is not disclosed Miss Lenove dented having any connection with the crime.

Fourteen persons ten children and four men were terribly burned by violence through the upsetting of a supply wagon of the burial of fire at Flight 801st street and Ridge avenue Philadelphia Iphone of the man Richard Greer of N.S. North Hutchin son street a fireman, and all of the children were riding on the wagon when the accident took place. The three others were burned in their forms at rescuers. Of the injured children two died at St. Joseph's hospital where all fourteen persons were taken. It is probable that all will be marked for life by the terrible burns inflicted upon them. The dead are Catharine Daniels nine years old and Raymond Dager seven years old. Three of the supplied a men who went to the house of the children and we gave him about the hands arms and test. Great is the latter of five of the children whom he had obliged to ride with him while delivering supplies of the chemical to the various engine houses. It was spilled over the children when the wheel came off the wagon and sent children and car boys and stirred into the street together. Great left the supply house with his wagon loaded up with four ten gallon glass carboys five five gallon cans and a barrel of the chemical. On his way up to distribute it among the engine houses of the northwestern section of the city he stopped at his home. Children of the neighborhood in including his five daughters bought Grear to take them for a ride on his wagon and although it is forbidden by the rules of the bureau to allow any person but the driver on the wagon, he consented. Accordingly the ten children clamber aboard and sat wherever they could find room. Young Raymond Dager sat on the barrel and others on the wooden casings of the carbons or on the floor of the wagon. As the wagon crossed Eightteenth street the wheels became locked in the grooved trolley tracks. Grear turned the horse sharply to pull off the track and the rear axle broke. The wagon dropped with a crash and then rolled over on its side. The shock broke the glass carbons and knocked the plug from the barrel so that the flies liquid poured out in a flood. Raymond Dager was thrown from his perch on the barrel and spurt after spurt of the acid spotted from the open bungule all over his head and body. It was in this manner that he suffered the burns which caused his death The contents of the carbons quickly flooded the wagon and there was no escape for the huddled children, whose screams of agony aroused the neighborhood and could be heard for blocks (Grear was hurt backward from his seat by the shock of the wreck and directly) into the whirling pool of acid Illuded by the fluid and crushed by their pain neither nor the children seemed able to get away by leaping from the wagon Harry Coleman broke his cousin's neck in a wrestling bout and is in jail at Pittsburgh awaiting a hearing on a formal charge of murder. The cousin, Joseph Smith died after lying unconscious for ten days. The two are said to have been fast friends, but always disputing each other's prowess.

Broke Neck Wrestling KILLS DOCTOR AND SELF ON EVE OF WEDDING Woman Shoots Physician and Commits Suicide. Dr George Murray Stuart, one of the most prominent young physicians of the fashionable East Liberty district in Pittsburgh was found shot dead in his apartments at 504 Penn avenue. Boulda him lay the body of Elean Wallace, a middle aged woman. A shot through her right temple was apparently inflicted after she had shot and killed the doctor. A revolver lying by the woman's side strengthens the police in this theory. The double killing occurred almost on the eve of Dr Stuart's marriage to a Virginia society woman. Elean Wallace was the proprietress of a resort at 322 Lambert street and the police believe that jealousy of the doctor's approaching marriage prompted the double tragedy. The marriage was to take place August 11. The woman's body was removed to the courge and that of the young physician was turned over to an undertaker. Both bodies were found in bed. The police believe the shooting occurred late Saturday night or early Monday morning. The discoveries of the bodies was made by Dr George W.

When the cream is from the same cows, which have been fed the same sation and milked by the same man, end when the same separator is used, the farmer naturally thinks the per cent of fat in the cream should remain the same. Errors are often made in making tests especially in taking the sample, but variations constantly occur that are due to other causes. The most common causes of these variations as pointed out in a circular by Prof H Eckles of the Missouri Agricultural Experiment station, Columbia, Mo. are as follows 1 Variations in the speed of the separator 2 Variation in temperature of milk separated 3. Rate the milk flows into the m chine 4 Amount of water or skim milk used in fushing out the bowl 5 Change in the richness of the milk separated 6 Adjustment of the cream screw Change in the speed of the separator is the most common cause of variation. The greater the speed of the separator the smaller the amount of cream and the higher the per cent of fat. Again, the temperature of the milk separated varies on the farm from day to day If cream tests 30 per cent when the milk is separated at 90 degrees, it may test as high as 40 per cent, when separated at 70 degrees Under average conditions on the farm, however, the variation in fat due to change of temperature will not amount to more than three to four per cent. A third cause of variation is found in the rate at which the milk flows into the machine. If less than the regular quantity flows into the bowl, the tendency is to increase the per cent of fat in the cream The richness of the milk separated affects the richness but not the quantity of cream. The richness of a cow's milk depends on inheritance and cannot be changed permanently by feed. Small variations are likely to occur from the other causes suggested. By the use of an ordinary labhook testing machine and by measuring the sample of cream into the test bottle with the same pipette as is used for measuring milk, any farmer can make a test of his cream that will satisfy him as to the accuracy of the test he receives from the cream buyer. BUILDING AN OCTAGON SILO Detailed Instructions and Illustration for Erecting Tank That Will Last for Many Years. We should consider it a mistake to build an octagon silo when it is easier and better to build a round one. The octagon silo has no advantages over the round. If it is desirable to build the octagon structure as suggested, says Hoard's Dalryman, in reply to a query, we should advise setting 2 by 5 on a circular foundation which extends at least six feet into the ground Cement Beech BEVELED SPACE Filled WITH CEMENT BEVELED LATH End View. and two feet above. Place the 2 by 4's 16 inches apart, sheet on the inside with good matched lumber then put on silo paper and cover with matched lumber. The outside of the 2 by 4's can be covered with paper and shooting. This will make a very serviceable silo and one that will last for many years. To us the better plan would be to line the inside of the silo with a coating of cement. Instead of putting on the second lining of sheeting and paper, bevel lath may be used, and then cover with cement, making the coating about one inch or one and one-half inches thick. The accompanying illustration shows the half-inch board which is nailed to the 2 by 4's, and they may be any width; the beveled lath and how the cement is put over them. Rest is not silence and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer's day listening to the murmur of the water and watching the clouds float across the sky is by no means waste of time. Lord Averyb ECONOMY IN COOLING MILK Tank. With Two Compartments, Allowing Water to Flow From One to Other, Is Used We have plenty of water on our farm and have always been able to keep our milk sweet for a long time, writes C V Petheran of Nebraska, in Farm and Home. We use a tank similar to the one in the drawing. There are two compartments to the tank that are connected at the bottom. The water comes from the well into the first apartment and from there it must go through the opening at the Milk Cooler. bottom of the partition into the apart mont where the can of milk are. This keeps the water fresh in the tank and less fresh water is required to keep the milk in good condition. If it were not for the fact that water is forced to go to the bottom of the tank to order to circulate it would be pumped in at one and run off at the other while the water in the bot tom would remain almost stationary.

DAIRY NOTES Pure water is necessary on the dairy farm. It is fast becoming so that a separator is almost as much of a necessity on the farm as the churn To a very considerable extent the way in which the cream is ripened controls the flavor of the butter Cream or milk when kept at a low temperature for some time develops a somewhat bitter flavor You should not only know how much each cow produces but how much it costs to do the producing The returns received from the cow should determine the economy and profit there may be in keeping her A quart of milk by actual chemical analysis is said to possess as much nutritive value as a pound of beef steak Oatmeal contains 32 per cent, protein consequently it is good for milch cows, but should not be fed too liberally Milk at a stated hour both morning and evening and keep everything about the stable and the dairy clean and fresh. Good pasture is the most economical milk feed that a cow can have and when pastures are short, green soiling comes next. Keep the cows comfortable at night and when the weather is cold and wet. In daytime, if they have pasture and good water they can care for themselves. As milk readily absorbs odors, don't set your milk pans where food is kept. The richest milk is the last that leaves the udder. He sure that the cows are milked clean. The Pennsylvania experiment station has discovered that rye meal as a part of properly balanced ration for dairy cows is sufficient in milk and butter production to an equal weight of corn meal. Experiments at Cornell experiment farm showed that while cows which were fed grain while on good pasture gave more milk than those which had pasture alone, the increased quantity of milk was not produced at a profit. Milkera Neat and Clean Those who do milking should be neat and clean in person. Before milking they should wash their hands with soap and they should thoroughly dry them. The finger nails should always be clean. As little dust as possible should be attired up. Dust from molly hay will float around and fall into the milk. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.

Jesus through his treatment of children taught us some of the most effective ways of bringing the world into the kingdom of heaven. By training the children to follow him. By ourselves in the childlike spirit.

Woman Who Invests In This Style of Summer Headgear Gets Good Value for Her Money. In spite of all the jokes concerning the fragile quality and fleeting styles of our military, there are certain varieties of hats that are as staple as flour and more lasting than any of the head coverings affected by men, (exc for the panama) The woman who invests in a good leghorn hat may depend upon it to do service for many a season and the same is true of panamas and of those hats of embroidery and lace which are classed as "lingerie" hats. Take the leghorn for example. One of these, in a good quality, may do service for six seasons. In the hands of a professional milliner, or of the clever house milliner, it may be remodeled from year to year and remain a thing of beauty and a joy for mid-summer. The leghorn is a mid-summer hat, like the lingerie and the panama, it is not to be brought out before the arrival of hot weather and it flourishes until the first frost, when its career, for a season is over. Its trimming are then to be carefully removed, the shape smoothed and restored and put away in a paper bag where it will be out of reach of the dust and not crushed in any way. Fig 1 shows a leghorn "flat" in the A simple and original shape in which these hats are usually bought. For its first season the brim is wired near the edge with a silk-covered wire matching it in color and new with hidden slippitches to the under brim. A wreath of flowers and bows of velvet, or other ribbon make up its trimming or orchid plumes may be used in the same wreath effect. There hasn't been a time within the memory of woman when such a hat was unfashionable. When fashion decrees that crowns must be large or brims droopy—a crown of another brim, or one of flowers, lace, not or ribbon answers H. the demand of the fickle goddess. The brim may be accured with soap suds, using a bland soap, pulled and rowed into the fashionable droop. Such a hat is shown in Fig 2 with a crown of transparent braid sewed on over the original crown. A full wreath of lovely corn flowers with a velvet ribbon bow at the back, in the same color as the flowers, completes the design. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Usage for Sawduat. Don't throw away the sawdust that comes around things in packing cases. It may be utilised in many ways about the house. It is good for removing sediment in glass and carbonware.

Nevertheless, the fact remains, whether or not the result was due to Mr Johnson's admittably exquisite technique or to his possession of that divine fire of youth which once lost is never found again, that in the fifteenth round the "hope of the white race" with his crouch and his glare and all his hairy brown bulk, hung over the ropes by his knees in a position quite primordial enough to satisfy even the red blood novelists who have written so eloquently of late in the sporting pages of noil-lithic men and the jungle-born. And above him, with the superb muscles of that terrifying left arm and shoulder taut and trembling to continue the battle if need be stood the black man, Johnson - LAD Artha, with his queer flat-footed shuffle that only masked the quickness of a cat Lil' Artha' of the bass-viol and the crap-shooting and the half puzzled pleading rather wistful smile the undoubted champion As a mere fight this battle for the greatest purse that two boxers ever fought for was I suppose, a pretty sad affair but as an event, a drama of temperaments an example of the phenomena possible in this year of grace 1910, it was as strange and as wildly romantic as any one could desire. FROM THE ENDS OF THE WORLD I have just sold good night to a man who was jumping on an overland train from which he will just have time to catch the steamer at New York and so deliver with his own hands a few precious photographs to his London paper. The man who sat next to me at the ringside and dictated the story of each round as it was fought, directly into his New York office, lost his wire somewhere in the neighborhood of Omaha just after his paper had beaten every body else in town by eight minutes. Blocked but not dismayed, the story went flashing westward over the Sierra to San Francisco down to Los Angeles and eastward by the southern route through Yumna. It went astray there a little later, and he had to swing it round to New York by way of Butte and St Paul, and we could hear, as we sat there, code calls reaching for it from cities all over the West. From the railroad yards, as I am writing this, comes the clanking of dozens of locomotive bells and the flash of their searchlights as the fight specials switch onto the through tracks. Three hundred correspondents, enough to cover any war, ancient or modern, are writing as fast as typewriters can be pounded, and something over half a million words—to be relayed later into many million more—are clicking out over the Reno wires. They are saying that this will be the last of the heavyweight prize fights. They say much the same thing since they were years ago: "we civilized people? Will foreigners believe that it is possible that the first nation in Europe can be so barbarous? Of what use are our numerous Christian and benevolent institutions?" I ran across it in an English magazine the other day, one published in 1834. It might be asked with, some pernience whether a civilization which compels helpless children and fragile girls to lead the life they do in factories and shops today need worry itself very pleasing over the brutality of permitting two perfectly made and perfectly trained bruslers to pick up a fortune in a few minutes by pummeling each other until one or the other gives in. If it is to be the end of prize-fighting, one can't help wondering what the old worthies of the days when the prize-ring was a British institution of solid respectable regime would think could they have been in Retro during the past two days. Nearly a hundred years ago, when that famous old brusser Jack Randall, the prime Irish lad, linked in his public house, the Hotel in the Wall, instead of answering a challenge, it was Mr. Tom Moore, the poet, who addressed him in these lines. "Come, Randall, my dear, come, the hodmen entreat thee, so idle no longer in 'Chancery Lane.' Lane. Shall the Baker outwrite thee who never could beat thee? Come up with thy beaver, my jewel again. What would sweet-voiced Tom Moore, who sang to bruisers in playful verse in a day when they really fought like cave-men, think of our distinguished novelties and their solemn honking about elemental men and abysmal brutes in a day when people really rather dislike, as a rule to see each other pounded up? Or suppose Haslitt could have gone out to Rono on one of the night specialists just as he rode down from London in 1862 on the Bath Mall behind Tom Turtle, the trainer and the invalid gentleman, to see Bill Natee night the Gas Man, all of which is set down in one of his most genial and engaging essays. A KELIC OF HEROIC DAYS. That was in the days when the "noble English sport of boxing" was in its prime, when the sporting prints which we so fastidiously collect nowadays were being made, when even the King—at least old George IV—had his man at the ringside to run back as fast as ever he could with news of the result, when the challenger cast his hat into the ring before he stripped, and the men sat on their bottle-holders' knees between rounds and fought with bare fats on a little circle of green turf enclosed by carts and gigs before the swells in their white box conts and the admiring fancy They were fights then, going to an incredible number of rounds. Men wrestled as well as boxed, and grabbed each other by the hair with one hand and hammered with the other and hurled each other to censure. They were both yelled at, and bloody only to rise magically in a moment and go to it again. Our own John L.—Yours truly John L., always on the level is about the only relic we have of those days. The fight he won from Jake Kilrain in 1889 was the last championship under the old London prizing rules. And as he drifted through the crowd at Reno, with his little gray cap above his big warrior's mustache and once terrifying eyes and his top-heavy body awaying above his tight trousers legs with a black band of braid down the side, as he shook hands like an absurd minded old mastiff with who never tried to shake with him, growing bushy. How are you?" asked to him his name? "Are you an undefended champion a role of the time when, as Mr. Billy Dilany rather sentiently remarked the night before the fight it was just a case of brush off the snow strip to the buff double up your bare fists and to go to it." I wonder what simple old gladiator of the pre-Sullivanite days Randall or Tom Cribb Sayers Hoven the Titon Slasher, or Jim Belcher the Pet of the Fancy—would have thought of a purse of $121,000 and moving-picture royalties, vaudeville engagements, and so on which meant to the winner. If the white man had won, something over half a million dollars? Of wine agents and war correspondents, and all the curious, top heavy accessories which surrounded this argument between two not particularly indispensable citizens? Every night for a week before the fight between 100,000 and 150,000 words—two popular novels to be doubled many times before they reached the newspapers to which they were telegraphed—went out to the world from Reno. THE HORDE OF SPECIAL WRITERS. In addition to the regular war correspondents, most of the prize-fighters temporarily disengaged from the practice of their profession were also writing daily critiques for the papers. Some, to be sure merely contributed the color of their signature and photographs while weary but more articulate reporters did the actual work, but there was at least one shining exception and the sight of Mr. Battling Nelson, with his cannonflower ears growing redder and redder as he struggled nightly in the intricacies of the literary art with the public stenographer in the crowded lobby of the Hotel Golden, was one of the fight's most fascinating pictures. And this had been going on more or less similarly not only for days but for months. Several newspapers had regular office headquarters, as at a political convention. One San Francisco paper had fourteen fabulously paid Special writers, including two red blood novelists one of whom was accompanied by a manager at least if not by a trainer, and all trying to say each day the same thing in fourteen different ways. One of its rivals, not to be outdistanced, threw its papers off the train and into an automobile on the west side of the Sierra and shot through the night over Nevada and to Reno two hours ahead of the train. These two newspaper automobiles raced over the same course, and after that another paper loaded its papers into an automobile as they fell from the presses in San Francisco at two o'clock in the morning. New clear acroses California and over the mountains, and arrived in Reno the next afternoon considerably ahead of the train. There were correspondents from Lyddu and Australia, and even M. Dupuy, of the Paris "Figaro," trawled across those American deserts mysterious and immeasurable, "to deserve M. Jeff and M Jack Johnson make the box." One overland train, white with alkali dust, would pull in with Big Tim Sullivan of New York or Charlie Millett of Mullen Contre, Iowa, and his friend Bill Another, would come in from the West and out would stop a little band of Australians, speaking a qualit, modified cockney of the colonies. And fighters wore so thick that as you pushed through the mob in front of the Golden, with the faro chips and roulette "wheels clicking in Jim Mey's and the Farnerlike bellowing of the megaphone hitting the street with betting odds, you always looked first at each man's left ear to see whether it was lopped over and grown together like an oyster or the ear of the ordinary non-fighting man No one who was not there can easily understand what a curiously ontralling drama a simple fight can be made into when thus isolated in a quiet little desert city and analyzed, colored, and vitalized by the nervous intelligence of two or three hundred keen "and imaginative men with nothing else to do. All the raw material was there. They only headed to be made interesting. On the chin band was this brown Colossus of a white man, not a fight, or in the "scrappy" sense of the word rather a sort of grimly bear, bored by people and photographers and noise, and much preferring to bury himself in the mountains and fish. He didn't want to fight again. Public clamor made him. And yet you had but to look at that vast hairy body, those legs like trees, the long projection, deep-set, scowling eyes, and wide, thin, cruel mouth, to know that here was an animal who would stand up and give battle as long as it could see, whom cleverness could not ruffle, nor blows dismay. close to Murphy's car—for the latter seemed to know eater is hard of hearing now—"Tortoise!" going on in and out rather a sort of grimly bear, bored by people and photographers and noise, and much preferring to bury himself in the mountains and fish.

A MIRAGE FOR T The rest is an ode of excellent shoulders inquiringly, and the big man "bites" as I had enjoyed the sad pleasure of glaring stubbornly seeing him hit the Harvard line, he good eye, bored A CAGED BEAR There was nothing wistine about Jeffries. He was as surly and ugly as a caged bear. He would ride just on a country road. Pouring alone from a fishing trip crouched in the rear seat of his automobile, swarthy, glowering chewing gum, and never so much as notice your greeting by the flicker of an eyelid. After the machine had stopped at the gate of his training quarters and a crowd of harmoniously demented admirers had gathered about it, he would sometimes sit there without moving for five or ten minutes, still glowering straight ahead, chewing gum and seeing only, as it seemed the vision of his black rivals coming to meet him across the ring. There was something peculiarly sinister in this statistic ferocity and he did not lessen the impression when he climbed down at last and walked slowly away seeing no one, with his huge right arm, partly contracted and slowly sawing the air as if aimed for a blow. "It's John Ridd," said Mike Murphy to me one day. You've read Lorna Doone. He's another John Ridd." Lil Artha "Johnson the negro, was as different as could be. About twenty pounds lighter than Joffries, with a rather lathly underbody and super shoulers and arms, he was as smooth and sleek and supple as a seal just coming out of the water. Lighthearted humorous witty even as he showed even during the thick of the battle when any one ventured to engage him in reprieve he had the good sense or cleverness to keep the respectful ingrigating ways of the Southern darker. He was quiet well-mannered in what he said of his opponent and indeed not without an almost win some charm. In the ring he at once became fascinating. There was mystery in that slow that-footed shuffle in the way his gloves moving slowly about his opponent's bloes turned like light, ninger either to block a lead or shoot in a blow. With seemingly indolent grace and his drowsy smile, he would stand up before George Cotton, his big black sparring partner, and catch and turn aside a rain of blows as easily as a big brother might play peace-porridge-hot with his little sister. Once during the fight, when Jeffries started a left swing for the wind that looked enough to fell an ox, the naughtog it in just the same way, and Jeffries a arm stopped as his bleeps met the black man's right as neatly as if it were a ball settling into the catcher's glove. THE IMPULSE OF TRADITIONS. But what it was thought he didn't have, and this is what made the fight between the mature thinking white man and the light-hearted, seemingly careless negro most interesting was that dogged courage and intellectual initiative which is the white man's inheritance. For in any supreme effort there comes a moment when cleverness and technique count for nothing and the issue is decided by that something which goes down through panting lenges and boasting heart and straining muscles and calls for the very core and soul of the man. And it is here other things being equal that a negro is always at a disadvantage. He has no traditions behind him. He stands alone. The white man has thirty centuries of traditions behind him all the supreme efforts, the inventions and the conquests and whether he knows it or not Bunker Hill and Thermopylae and Hastings. Agnus You should have seen Mr. Mike Murphy throw back his head close one eye light shut, and with just a crack showing in the other like the eye of some curious withered, who old bird, and with the insight gained from training generations of runners and football men go straight to the heart of things in his caressing, half-quizical draw! He didn't believe even when the talk was wildest, that Jeffries could come back 'No man ever did' he would say, and no man ever will. There are three things you can't beat nature instinct and death." FIGHTING WITH THE MIND He thought the negro ought to win. He had the strength and skill yet he couldn't quite make himself sure of that seemingly vague good humour will "Mind!" he said to me one day squinting through the half-open eye and tapping his temple with one finger. "It's all mind. If you go into a contest with your mind right you've got the other man beaten all ready. And that negro." he waved his hands vaguely "hoose" No concentration if he don't wake up, he might knock out in the first round Look at Jeffries. He's going into a fight Temperament, that's the whole thing. Give me eleven men and time enough and I'll put into their hearts the idea that they are going to win and you can't heat 'em. That's what training is. Roosevelt would make a good trainer" "Hit!" he cackled, "that's the way we used to heat Harvard—we had 'em beaten when we came onto the field." He tapped his chest mysteriously "Here." Here was a man of imagination and parts in the contagious bite and snap of his words was the very mysticism and poetry of fighting. On the Saturday before the flight, Mr. Tom Shevlin, who used to do terrific things to the Harvard line, now a glittering lumber king or something of the sort, came to cast his practised eye over the warriors. As the three of us rode back to town together, the old trainer tapped his head and murmured the one word, "Bad!" Mr. Shevlin put his mouth close to Murphy's car—for the latter is hard of hearing now—"Totally" he shouted. "No concentration. He's going up against a locomotive for two hours, and he don't know it. I want to see a man worried. I want by himself and not want to talk to people. When I played football" he tapped his dye-colored waistcoat—"All gone here. Couldn't eat, couldn't sleep. Took two months to get myigestion back after the season was over. But when I went out into the field" Mr. Shevlin lifted his excellent shoulders inquiringly, and as I had enjoyed the and pleasure of seeing him hit the Harvard line he needed to say no more. "Good heavens, that man's going into a battle, and he don't know it yet." RFNO OR BUST Well no ride with! Tom Turtle on top a stage-coach through the finest English country in the snappest fall weather could have been more grounldid and exciting than the morning of the fight. The day down, of spotlessly clear, one of those still crystalline mornings which come in the thin dry air of the mountain desert country. The town was jammed Miles, it seemed of dusty Pullmans stretched down the trucks, above their dining car roofs the blue smoke of the breakfast area. From cast and west other trains kept quarrying in and dustier kill and honking gaily as they came touring cars with ragged signs of Rino or Bust. There were Indians Chihuahua Illinois New York wine agents, and other queer fish but above all it was a man's crowd of husks men, in high spirits talking at a great rate and in the liveliest of humor, about the difficulties of getting breakfast getting a shave and about the prospects of the fight. You must imagine a bright green little oasis, ten or fifteen miles across set in a sort of dish of bare enclosing mountains, brown mountains with patches of yellow and olive green and exquisite vells of mansue and amethyst and at their tops blazing white through the clear air patches of austere snow in the center of all this a great pine bear-pit had been raised, glaring white and hot in the blazing desert sun, and into this at 1 30 o'clock that afternoon 20,000 men were crowded with their eyes fixed on a little roped square in the center The betting was 10 to 6 or 7 on Jeffries and the talk about 1000 to 1. You couldn't hurt him - Fitzsimmons had landed enough times to kill an ordinary man in the first few rounds, and Jeffries had only shaken his head like a bull and bored in. The negro might be a clever boxer, but he has never been up against a real fighter before. he had a yellow streak there was nothing to it and anyway let a hope he kills the coon." A SCOWLING BROWN COLOSSUS That was about the mental atmosphere as Lil' Artha wrapped in a dressing gown and smiling his half puzzled, rather pleading smile, climbed into the ring Old Billy Jordan who has been an amateur fight for fifty years or so was just introducing the negro to the buzzing hostile audience, when Jeffries with a cloud of seconds and camp followers behind him, climbed through the ropes. I had a seat at the ringside directly opposite him and I can unmistakably state that I have never seen a human being more calculated to strike terror into an opponent's heart than this sowling brown Cotusus as he came through the ropes stamped like a bull pawing the ground before his charge and chewing gum rapidly glared at the black man across the ring. If looks could have thwarted burned, and torn to pieces Mr Jack Arthur Johnson would have dispaired that instant into a few specks of inanimate dust. The negro had his back turned at the moment, as he was being presented to the crowd on the opposite side. He did not turn round, and as he took his car nor and his trainer and seconds crowding in front of him concealed the white man a sort of host wolf lish and rather terrible up from the crowd. "He darsen't look at him" Oo-o! Don't let him see him! Don't let him see him! And when Jeffries pulled off his clothes with a vicious jerk and standing erect and throwing out his chest jabbed his great arms above his head once or twice. I don't suppose that one man in a hundred in that crowd would have given two cents for the negro's chances. Nor did many suspect until Johnson's left shot across to the white man a right eye in the sixth round and closed it so strong and convincing was the Jeffries tradition, the contagion of the atmosphere and that crouching, scowling gladiator--that the negro's finish was anything but a matter of time. They had all seen or heard of that short, rather slow piston-rod-like punch which the white man knew how to send with a tremendous, if not spectacular, force into his opponent's side just under the lower right ribs. They saw him send it in time and again apparently, and each time the crowd gave a sort of subdued, exultant grunt. When Johnson merely smiled his far away smile, people supposed he must be shamming and when them uppercuts of his shot up like lighting, they thought it was merely pretty, but didn't hurt. When that blow got across in the sixth round, however, the cynicism of the white man's glare suddenly went dead and changed. His right eye blackened and closed, and the blood began to run down from his right nostril. He was fighting after that not to finish his opponent, but to save himself, to stave off what he probably know, if the crowd did not yet suspect, nothing but chance could save him from. Mr. Jim Corbett, who, as Jeffries' second and following the quiet sportmanship of the ring, had gone across to the corner nearest the nego between each of the earlier rounds to fix him with a sneering eye and witty taunt and terrify him, lost his bright vauduelle amile. Once, when he called out to Johnson during a round, the negro, laughing across Jeffries' shoulder, gave him as good as he sent. Once a man far up in the seats called down to Johnson, "Why don't you smile now?" and the negro, who seemed to know everything that was going on in and out of the ring without at any time paying close attention, deliberately turned his head and smiled. He looked fierce occasionally, but that was only when he feinted When something real and dangerous was to be done, he was apparently dreaming placidly as the flowers of May A MIRAGE FOR THE MULTITUDE The rest is an old story now - how the big man/black beaten but glaring stubbornly out of his one good eye, bored steadily in as the bull charges the matador toward the end of his fight how suddenly, the main drama about which had gathered such a curiously modern and top-heavy mountain of accessories, rushed to its swift and unexpected conclusion in the thirteenth round the crafty black turned loose for a moment, and it was all over then but the shouting In the fourteenth and fifteenth rounds however the old champion can touch back groggy but willing in the fifteenth there was a quick to the point trooplike legs laughed in and the great hairs brown bulk, which had never been knocked down before nor beaten, sank close to the ropes. The crowd didn't cheer. It rose and stood and stared, as if the solid ground beneath it were turning to a mirage. At the count of nine Jeffries got to his feet only to be sent back again this time between the ropes. His camp followers, forgetting themselves in the desperation of the moment pushed him to his foot but it was only to stagger across the ring and go down again, and I for the last time on the other side. They lifted the fallen idol and slapped his big shoulders and bed him away men rushed down and hopped over the sputtering telegraph instruments to cut the ropes and floor canvas into souvenirs and Mr Jack Arthur Johnson with only a slightly cut tip rock back to camp in his automobile with a harder road ahead of him than any he ever yet has travelled the glided begging pathway of him who is not climbing but has arrived THE AFTER EFFECT The white race whose supremacy this contest was going to establish must naturally, have been as dead as the Aztecs or the Lucas, but the representatives of it in Reno seemed to battle their way into the overflowing restaurants tonight with their usual interest to smoke their black cigars with their customary zest, and gaze out at the pink and lavender lights turning to purple and ashes in the distant mountains with the usual air of equanimity. They reasoned I believe, that there hadn't been any flight, that Jet fries was only a shell of a man and it wasn't certain that they were conceived that he even had any arms. That was all very well after the event and for those who forget how things stood when the battle opened. But any one who happened to see from Johnson's corner the face of Jim Jeffries as he climbed into the ring and fell to the focused mind and heard the taunts and jerks of the hostile crowd knows that it took something more than boating skill for that black man to go out and meet his fate, that he had concentration right enough if it didn't show on the outside, and stood on his own feet and thought for himself and fought and vanquished a brave opponent cleanly and like a brave man.

GIFT NOTES SENT EARLY Bride Now Acknowledges Wedding Gifts Immediately Instead of Waiting Until After the Ceremony. It is now customary for a bride to send a note of thanks as soon as she receives a gift instead of waiting until after the wedding and honeymoon to acknowledge it. In this way all but the last minute presents are acknowledged before the wedding though a person who has waited until the last day to send his gift cannot expect it to be acknowledged till the bride is settled in her new home. Fow brides realize the importance of their gift notes. If sent to strangers, as many of them are, the acknowledgment of a present may preface the sender for or against the writer. Whether she spontaneously or merely as a matter of form a gift stands for a kindness it therefore demands a gracious response, in the first person Do not gauge your gratitude according to value of gift or what you deem should have been its value. Often the slimest bit of home needlework stands for more love and real interest than the nuhagany highboy or massive Sheffield tray. To send gushing thanks for the latter and an indifferent little note for the first is the height of vulgarity. Never write a gift note in third person nor on your visiting card. The appearance of a note is important.

This new dessert occurred to me one day when arranging to entertain guests at dinner. To four tablespoonfuls of powdered tapioca I added half a cupful of cold water letting the two stand undisturbed for about an hour. I then added four tablespoonfuls of sugar and one and a half cupful of boiling water and cooked the mixture until the tapioca had become clear. At this point I added half a cupful of the stirp from a jar of preserved ginger and a quarter of a cupful of ginger itself, first putting it into small pieces. When nearly cold the result was poured into sheeret glasses and before being served was piled high with whipped cream that had previously been flavored with vanilla.

EIGHT HATNBRAN AUGUST 6, 1916 The Butchery in Texas. A conservative estimate places the number of negroes killed in the so-called race riot in Texas last week at eighteen, but, we are told by the Houston Post, that "men of standing in the community declare that not less than forty were killed," and that no white man was injured during the trouble. "All sorts of alarming statements have been sent out about the affair about how the negroes had armed themselves heavily, were holding meetings slightly and had selected Saturday night last as the time when they would advance in a body and kill every man, woman and child in the community. All these stories however appear to have been manufactured out of the whole cloth, and sent to the disturbed region have reported that after diligent search they were unable to find any guns, except a few old fashioned single barreled shot guns with little ammunition and that nowhere did they find the armed bodies of negroes alleged to have been organized for defence and vengeance. The exact cause of the trouble has not been discovered, although it is supposed to have started in a quarrel between a white man and a negro about a promissory note given by the negro which he refused to pay. That is as good an excuse as has yet been found for this most brutal display of mob law. Four white men have been lodged in jail at Palestine charged with murder, and they are guarded by troops. Texas Rangers and the county officer have been charged with having been made by the mob on the outside to deliver them. Several negroes have been lodged in jail as witnesses. While he was proceeding with a number of negroes in his charge, Deputy Sheriff Reeves was met at a cross road by three bodies of armed men numbering altogether seventy-five, who demanded that he turn over to them one of his prisoners Reeves was master of himself and of the mob after advising them to go to their homes, he told them they could only get the victim they desired over his dead body, and that he could have been killed by one of their men or misses it dispersed. They dispersed it is generally disarmed. They dispense it is not brave it is only strong in its numbers, but it was not strong enough this time to make Reeves an faithful to his duty. The grand jury of Palestine will make a thorough investigation of this trouble and it is hoped that they will hew to the line letting the chips fall where they may. Nothing more savage than this brutal butchery of innocent men has ever taken place in Texas. It is a approach to the State and an offence to humanity. The men who are responsible for it should be shown absolutely no mercy, as it is only by the stern hand of the law that crime of this character can be sufficiently punished. Let us not boast of our civilization so long as such bloody work can be done with impunity. - Richmond Van Times-Dirigate, August 4, 1910 Wife of Noted Educator Dies Mrs Maria Howard Council, wife of the late President William Hooper Council, founder and for thirty four years president of the State Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes, died in Nashville, Tennessee. Saturday night, July 23, 1810 Death came as the result of a major operation at a Nashville Infirmary. The funeral service were held in Palm Beach where more interred in the tomb with those of her husband, the late President Wm. H. Council, who died only fifteen months ago. President Walter S Buchanan and his wife, Mrs. Ma Councill Buhanan and Mr. Dement H Councill, son of the deceased were at the bed side of Mrs. Councill when the end came. The remains were turned over to Mr. A. N. Johnson, undertaker, a life-long friend of the family. The following day, Sunday, July 24th, the body was brought to Huntville, Alabama. When the train arrived at 2 o'clock, a committee of the members of the faculty were at the depot to receive the body and immediately it was conveyed to the College Campus, in the hearse of Moore & Commons, undertakers. The body lay in state in the president's residence until 8:30 P. M. MonJay the time of the funeral services. The funeral services which were held in the Palmer Hall Chapel were short and simple. The Roy. Mr. W. M. Jones, of the M. E. Church, Huntsville, rend the obituary. The Roy. Dr. R. D Brooks, of Pratt City, formerly and for five years the pastor of the deceased in Huntsville, delivered the funeral address. Resolutions offered by the faculty were read by Prof. Hughes Hopkins, of the faculty. Miss Isora Garrett, of the faculty, sang "Crossing the Bar" Just before the benediction. Under-taker Johnson, at the request of President Buchann, spoke in a most earnest and touching manner of his long and pleasant acquaintance with the deceased. When these remarks were finished, and the benediction had been pronounced, the funeral procession marched to the grave, directly in front of Carnegie library. The body was lowered into the vault above the remains of the late President Council. The body was rolled over the tomb and on this was placed the many floral tributes affixed by the school, the trustees and many friends of the family, many of whom were in attendance. These included graduates, and ex students of the school, and, among white friends Mr. Bon. T. Hunt, trustee, Captain Dan Turner and wife and others. Before the completion of those last funeral rites Miss Irisa Garrett and her sister-in-law Face to Face. The services closed and the congregation sang "God Be With You Till We Meet Again." and the beaconlight. Mrs. Council was born forty-eight years ago, in Huntaway, Alabama, in December, 1861. She attended the school taught by Professor Council in that city, and later she taught in his school Still later, in 1885, she was married to Professor Council, and since that time had devoted her life to the work which stands as an enduring monument to his untiring labors. She was a devoted wife and a tender loving mother. For more than twenty years she was a christian and member of the Huntaway A M E Church. She was a loving and kind woman and a friend to every one. Her death came as a thunderbolt from a clear noon-day sky and her loss is insatiable. She leaves a daughter, a son, two sisters, one brother and many friends to moor their sons. Before Grim Death claimed his victim, she had remarked "I am ready to meet God." Whenever I think of this I am reminded thus: "Lay me down if peaceful slumber "I am weary and must rest." Dry you tears I goin' shall greet you. When your earthly work is done At the pearly gates I will meet you While the Master cries well done D E Dortsch HORRIBLE MASSACRE (Continued from First Page.) EVERYBODY SCARED Everybody seemed to be almost seemed to death Everybody was armed with shotguns. They had the women and children all bunched up in places and were guarding them. The mob had been sending out scary reports that hundreds of negroes armed to the teeth were coming from Cherokee county. They telephoned me early yesterday morning that 200 negroes were at Denison Springs heavily armed, and when we got there we found just one negro and he was not armed." Palestine tonight had little definite information of the trouble between the whites and blacks between Anderson and Denison Springs than it had yesterday Sunday has been characterized by utter absence of anything authoritative from there except the report which Sheriff Black made. District Judge H B Garner received a telephone message from Elk Hart this afternoon to the effect that everything was quiet and that the troops would not be needed Virginia Needs More Liberal Appropriations for Her Negro Normals Prof Bruce R Payne, of The University of Virginia deserves the thanks of the friends of Negro education for his article in the July number of The Southern Workman on the needs of our rural schools it is extremely rare for a Southern white educator where so sane views respecting our educational needs and earl still for him to express those views. A more hopeful sign that one of the dominant race recognizes and admits that the Negro teacher is the only cannable agent in this work In view of the pressing need for better trained teachers is the imperative duty of the state to make more liberal provisions for the training of those best fitted by sympathy to instruct our youth. The state makes provision for the secondary and higher education of the whites by ample appropriations to the Female Normal School at Farmville, the Normal School, at Harrisonburg, the Polytechnic School, the Virginia Military Institute, William and Mary College, and the University of Virginia, all for white, aggregating fully three hundred thousand dollars, while for the Negro, twenty thousand dollars go to Petersburg and ten thousand dollars to the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute. The Negro is one-third of the population he owns one-eighteenth of the agricultural lands of the Common wealth and thus directly contributes more than his prorata of what is expended for his education. These two schools do not turn out one-half of those needed to supply the rural schools with properly trained instructors. There are also nearly four hundred high schools maintained by the state, counties and municipalities. Less than a score of these are for colored youth. It seems, therefore that the time has come for the establishment and maintenance of another Normal School by the state for the Negro. This school should be located in that section of which Lynchburg is the center I believe that this matter is properly presented by our educators and those interested in education will receive favorable consideration. This needs immediate attention. Only a few days since was the site accepted for a new Normal School for whites. Virginia cannot afford to lag behind. West Virginia which provides two well-equipped institutions for the secondary and higher education of her colored population which is one-fifth of that of the Old Dominion. In crediting Virginia for what goes for Hampton, it should not be forgotten that this appropriation in the Negro's estimate share of the Morrill fund. JOHN W. CROMWELL. Mrs J. W.
