The True Re The Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers has been In ses- sion in this city at True Reformers' Hall since last Tuesday morning. Rev. W. L. Taylor, D. D., Grand Wor- thy Master, presiding. Mr. W. P. Bur- rell, Grand Worthy Secretary is in charge of the records. REV. DR. TAYLOR'S ADDRESS Rev, Taylor delivered an address Tuesday morning. Some of his remarks caused much bitter feeling He charged that there existed a conspiracy to remove him and that persons not members of the Order knew more about it than he did. In view of subsequent developments this may have been a fact. LADERS SPEAK PLAINLY Stormy scenes followed. Chief Bailey, Chief Anderson, Denny General A. W. Holmes, Mr. J, R. Wilson made impassioned addresses and even Mr. W. P. Burrell spoke out in the meeting, and it was evident that the opposition to Rev. Taylor was not only organized, but determined. It developed that the Commissioner of Insurance, Hon. Joseph Button, was behind the movement. He had previously been in consultation with Mr. W. P. Burrell. He would have taken summary action, but he did not desire to wreck the most progressive organization operated by colored people. MAJORITY AGAINST HIM. It was evident that a majority of the delegates were opposed to the Grand Worthy Master. This was caused too by the whispers that the apparent liabilities were fifty thousand dollars, so far as the back claims were concerned by that the actual liabilities totalled two hundred and sixty-two thousand dollars. A CANDIDATE CHOSEN The Grand Fountain has a large membership though and with the proper management can pay this amount. The opposition to Grand Master Wm. L. Taylor, decided upon Mr. A. W. Holmes, as Taylor's successor. He has spent the best years of his life in the service of the Order and it is stated will really be under the control and supervision of Grand Worthy Secretary, W. P. Burrell, who is really the best equipped man for the place. THE INSURANCE DEPARTMENT TAKES SIDES. Suffice it to say that Mr. Burrell and his friends agreed upon Mr. A. W. Holmes and he was elected Grand Worthy Master. This was not done though without a struggle. Grand Worthy Master Taylor seemed disposed to "die fighting," but when he was shown the hand of the Commissioner of Insurance and convinced that summary action would be taken in the event that he was re-elected, he realized that he would be held responsible for the disruption and the destruction of the organization, so he agreed to retire. THE SALARIES OF THE OFFICERS In the discussion that resulted, for the first time it was disclosed that the salary of the Grand Worthy Master has been five thousand dollars per year or about four hundred and sixteen dollars per month and the salaries of the other chief officers, three thousand dollars per year, or two hundred and fifty dollars per month. These amounts were recently reduced twenty-five per cent. WILL TAX MEMBERS The Grand Fountain levied a tax of one dollar on each member of the Order, which amount will be payable within four months time. When this amount is collected the Order will be able to enter upon a new era of prosperity. Rev. W. L. Taylor's career has been almost as remarkable as that of Rev. W. W. Browne. Without any scholastic training of importance, he arose from the position of a local country preacher to a position or influence and power. A GREAT ORGANIZER. He lives in a palatial residence on North Second Street, and is accredited with being thrifty and well-to-do. He is a superb organizer and an entertaining speaker. He wields his greatest influence with illiterate people, whose ways he knows and whose desires he anticipates in advance. The attitude of the Bureau of Insurance as controlled by Hon. Joseph Button, Commissioner of Insurance, may be well understood by reading the following exhaustive article, which appeared in the Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch, September 15, 1910. True Reformers Select New-Officers Under Official Pressure. Yielding to repeated demands made by State Insurance Commissioner Joseph Button for a complete change in management, the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers, in biennial session in Richmond, yesterday chose A. W. Holmes, of this city, as grand worthy master, in place of W. L. Taylor, W. P. Burrell, whose administration has been entirely satisfactory to the Bureau of Insurance, will be re-elected grand secretary. The officers have been selected by what is known as nomination, and will be formally elected today. Probably the entire future of this order, the largest, most successful and most prominent among all colored secret societies in the world, was involved in the choice of the Grand Fountain or its president. Recent troubles have brought the organization to a critical stage, due mostly, it is believed, to ignorance of business methods and partly, perhaps, to the machinations of more intelligent negroes who found in the members of their race easy dupes to their plans. HOLDS HIGHEST PLACE Remarkable indeed is the history of the True Reformers, which for nearly thirty years has held first place in the respect and admiration of the colored population of America. Its home office and central building are located in Richmond, on Second Street, near Leigh, where yesterday's sessions were held. The body, which is composed of delegates, met on Tuesday and will be in session the remainder of the week. On one occasion this Grand Fountain, elected to represent the interests of the members, gravely and solemnly bought its own ritual, its own charter, and its own constitution and by-laws from its grand master for the sum of $50,000, nearly $40,000 of which was actually paid. This official, who is now dead, was the founder of the True Reformers, was a salaried officer, and actually had the ritual copyrighted in order to secure the consummation of his plans. To add to his gains, his wife for nine years had the exclusive right to manufacture regalia for the members and at last this right was "sold" back to the order for $3,000. WORE RORES OF STATE. This founder, W. W. Browne, it is stated, presided in the meetings of the Grand Fountain in flowing robes, to aid him in impressing superstitions reverence upon those who had united with the organization. In fact, if rumors be correct, vague ceremonies of this sort were practiced up to a very recent time. With an income of nearly $300,000 a year, hosts of claims amounting in the aggregate to more than $50,000, remained unpaid at about the beginning of this year. Numerous complaints of the nonpayment of insurance claims, ranging from small sums up to $500, were made to Commissioner Button, who ordered an examination. It was speedily learned that the trouble was not with the order, which was in RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1910.

Further proceedings were denied last Tuesday by the Supreme Court in the case of Ir T sharp against the Richmond Traction Company and Henry T. Wickham and William Northrop, receivers. The company took an appeal from a verdict of the Law and Equity Court of the city of Richmond, which is refused. Irene Sharp is an elderly woman, who was injured by a fall from a Broad and Main car at Seventh and Broad Streets on February 10, 1905. She was a passenger on the car, the evidence showing that she got up to follow the other persons to the street. When she had placed one foot on the ground, she testified, the car started, and she was thrown to the ground and seriously and permanently injured. The conductor said in defense that he gave the signal to go ahead and then saw that the woman was preparing to leave the car. He told her to wait and get off on the further side of the cross street, and did not think she would attempt to alight. She sued for $2,500 damages, the jury awarding her the full amount.

Bone of Conte rived in California about eighteen years ago, and he being the only support of his mother was compelled to do whatever he could to assist her. In this way he succeeder in a short time in entering a night school of Los Angeles. He worked night and morning and attended day school later. He was graduated from the Los Angeles High School then he took a course in shorthand and typewriting. In 1908 he joined a show and traveled for a number of years and returned to Los Angeles in July, 1910. He was employed with a very small salary by Attorney Darden as a stenographer. In the same month he stood examination for the Police Department. Among a large number of white applicants the Negro stood ahead of the rank. For two weeks he was in uniform and acted as patrolman. In this time the Department had learned of his abilita as a stenographer and his salary was raised from seventy dollars to one hundred and twenty-five dollars. McDuff can be seen any day in the Chief of Police's office playing his limbo games on the typewriter, while his white brothers are patrolling the streets of Los Angeles marked with their blue uniforms, their black brother is resting easy in his private office doing his eight hours duty every day and wears a badge of a private detective. Mr. L. O. McDuff from a bootblack to a Chief's clerk in the Police Department of Los Angeles at the age of twenty-two can be seen every Sabbath escorting his aged mother to church.

They will spend one or two days and from there to Cumberland and from there to New York, where they will make their home. "I AM going into the garden, Gretchen. Bring me a stain of brown." The mountaineer smiled genuinely. "But I am not working here any more," said Gretchen. "She has had a fortune left her," said Frau Bauer. "Well, well!" The mountaineer seemed vastly pleased. "And how much is this fortune?" "Two thousand crowns." Gretchen was not sure, but to her there always seemed to be a secret laughter behind those clear eyes. "Handsome! And what will you do now?" "Study for the opera." The old man was jubilant. "Where were you going when this poplinjoy stopped you?" he cried. "To the clock mender's." "I've nothing to do. I'll go with you. I've an idea that I should like to talk with you about a very important matter. Will you come into the garden with me now?" "Yes, herr." "So you are going to become a prima donna?" he began, seating himself opposite her, and opening the garden. "I am going to try, she smiled." "Have you any dreams? I mean the kind one has in the daytime—when the eyes are wide open?" "Oh, yes!" "Who has not dreamed of riding in carriages, of dressing in silks, of wearing rich ornaments?" "Ah! Gretchen clasped her hands and there are palaces too." "But be I how would you like a dream of this kind true?" "Do thy ever come true?" "In this particular case I am a fairy. With one touch of my wand--this one staff--I can bring you all these things you have dreamed about. How would you like a little palace, with servants at your back and call, with carriages to ride in, with silks and velvetts to wear and jewels to adorn your half?" "A window fell upon her face." "By a right right should I possess these things?" "By the supreme right of beauty-beauty alone." "Come, let us go for your clock," he said, rising. "I am an old fool." Gretchen had gone honeo with her clock, but still Herr Ludwig, as the mountainer ended himself, tarried in the dim and musty shop. "I've a watch I should like you to look over," he said to the clockmaker. The clock mender literally pounced upon it. "Who did you get a watch like this?" he demanded suspiciously. "It is mine. You will find my name engraved inside the back fid." The clock mender pried open the case, adjusted his glass and dropped it, shaking with terror. "So this is the end," the amazed watchmaker gasped, "of all my labor, to me and to what little I have left." "Fiddlesticks! I am here for no purpose regarding you, comrade. Your secret is as dead as it ever was." "Gott! For seventen, eighteen years I have traveled hither and thither, all ways on some false clue. Never a band of gypaes I heard of that I did not seek them out. Nothing, nothing! You will never know what I have gone through, and uselessly, to prove my innocence. What benefit to me would have been a crime like that of which I was accused! Was I not high in honor and wealth? What benefit to me, I say-all my estates confiscated, my wife dead of shame!" "But why the clocks?" in wonder. "It was a pastime of mine when I was a boy. I used to be tinkering J THE CLOCK SCREEN FIELD OPENED THE CASE among all the clocks in the house. The grand duke has a wonderful Friedian clock. One day it tell out of order, and the court jeweler could do nothing with it. I was summoned—No one recognized me, I have changed so. I had begun to give up hope when the grypy I was seeking was seen by one of my agents. He alone knows the secret. And I am waiting, waiting. But you believe, Ludwig? "Carl, you are innocent of all it. Come to agree." "No. Ludwig; this is my country, however unjustly it has treated me." "Yes, yes. But if your grypy falls you!" "Still I shall remain. I am only slightly, yet no one would believe me under either. There were letters found in my desk, all forgeries. Filed to Paris, I wrote Herbock once while there. He beloved that I was innocent." "He keeps a steady hand on the duke." "But you—what are you doing in Dreelberg in this gully?" "Well, once upon a time there lived a king. He was young. He had an uncle, who watched loved him and his daughter. This uncle loved him." The HAROLD MacGRATH Copyright, 1909, by the Bobba-Merrill Company this newb He would bring him up to be a man, well educated, broad minded and clean lived. The lad grew up clean in mind, strong in body, liberal, a nice prince. In his palace few saw anything of him after his eighteenth year. He went into the world under an assumed name. By and by he came home quietly. In one month he was to be coronated. And now what do you think? He must have one more adventure, just one. And one morning his uncle found him. All. The prince regent set it going that his majesty had gone a-hunting in Davaria. Then the prince regent put on some old clothes and went a-venturing himself. "And the end?" "God known," said Ludwig. "And fattoused fool that this uncle was tried to marry off his mother." "I understand. But if you are discovered here you will be harshly dealt with." The other shrugged, and picked up his watch. "Can I be of material asistance? No? Proud old imbecile? said the mountaineer kindly. "You have been deeply wronged, but some day you will be right. I myself shall see what can be done, with the duke." J "He will never be brought to reason unless unlucky dudable evidence of my innocence in cowardice in place once occured by my name is obliterated. I have given on the best of my heart and of my brain to Ebren a toin—for "PROUD OLD IMPEE - my brain to Eh CLEE" . . . renstoin to this! I am innocent. "I believe you, Carl. Remember, Jugendheit will always welcome you. I must be going." Carmichael walked his horse. This morning he had ridden out almost to the frontier and was now on his return. No longer did Carmichael take the south pass for his morning rides. That was the favored going of her highness and he avoided her now. In truth, he dared not meet her now; it would have been out of wisdom. She was to marry the king of Jugendheit; it was in the order of things that he ride alone. The road to Elsene began about six miles north of the base of the Dresbeg mountain. It wavered to the east. As Carmichael reached the fork he heard the farmer motif of hoofs. Coming along the road from Elsene were a trifle of riders. Carmichael laughed weekly. Should he mount and be off before she made the turn? He waited. She came in full sight, rosy, radiant, as lovely as Dianne. With a short nod of her head she signaled for the two soldiers to fall back. The two were embarrassed. The little cavalcade directed its course toward the city. "You have not been riding of late," she said. Then she had missed him. Carmi chack's heart expanded. "I have ridden the same as usual, your highness, only I have taken this road for a ride." "Ahi! She patted the glistening neck of him more. So he had purposely tried to avoid horr! Why? She stole a sly glance at him. Why were not kings inlaid in this form? All the kings she had met had something the master with them—crooked legs, weak eyes, hold, young or old, and dart over gaming tables and opera dancers. And the one man among them all—at least she had been informed that the king of Jugendstil was all of a man—had politely declined. "I am guilty of lease majesty," he suggested. "I shall not lock you up," she said, and added under her breath, "as my good father would like to. "Besides," she continued aloud, "rather like to set the court by the ears. Ah, but he shall lead some king a merry life" with a wicked gleam in her eyes. "Frederick of君鼎皓!" "Is it true that you have not heard yet have declised the honor." "Would you?" "This, id course, is as yet a state secret, and my reason for telling you is not a process," but a woman'solve it if you can." (Carmichael) rumbled the rude blush, "The say that he is a handsome --- yōng man." "What has that to do with jj? The interest he takes in his kingdom is positively negative. There will be only one king in Jugendheim, and that will be the prince regent." They were silent for a few minutes. Finally the ambassador spoke. "I have some news for your highness. I am about to ask for my recall." The color on her cheeks pailed a shade lighter. "I am suddenly" she asked. "I am essentially a man of action, your highness, I am growing dull and stupid and those charming pleasures. I am wicked enough to wish for war." "Cherches is female" she cried. "There is a woman?" "Oh, yes?" recklessly. "Then go to her, my friend; go to her." And she waved her crop over his head as in benediction. He did not speak, but caught up the rumble, and of the talking hirthly and gaily, but his ears were dull for the undercurrent passed by him. He was thinking thoroughly of her. Within a few hundred-yards of the gates Carmichael saw a lonely figure C "ALL, BUT I SHALL LEAD SOME ENGINE A MERRY LIFE!" skitting on the parapet. He would have recognized that square form anywhere. "Your lightness, do you see that man yonder on the parapet? We fought in the same cavalry. He is covered with scars. Not one man in a thousand have gone through what he did and lived." "Is he an American?" "By adoption, May I present him? It will be the joy of his life." Certainly, Brave men interest me. Grumbach rose, thinking that the riders were going to pass him. But his friend Carmichael stopped the horse. "And Grumbach," said Carmichael, "her serene highness desires me to present you." Wasp was stricken dumb. She pitied him with a number of questions—how many battles they had fought in, how many times they had been wounded. grew restive and began pawing the road. She refined in quicky lys. As she did she turned yellow. Enshaded downward to the ground. Grum hach hastened forward. P "My locket," said her highness anxiously "it is not broken, highness," said Grumbach. "Then he handed it to her gravely. "GOTT" HE MUR- DED it to her WORD, gravely. "Thank you!" Her blightness put the locket into a small purse which she carried, in her belt, touched the mare, and sped up the road. Carmichael fol- lowed her. Grumbach returned to the parapet. "Gott!" he murmured. His face was as livid as the scar on his head. THE WRONG MAN... HERBECK dropped his quill, and there was a dream in his eyes. He sat there motionless, rapt. And thus the duke found him. He held a letter in his hand and tossed it to Herbeck. "I shall throw 10,000 men across the frontier tonight." "War again?" "Heard that. It is the second anonymous communication I have received within a week. As the first was truthful, there is no reason to believe this one is true." Herbock was genuinely started. "What do you say 'to that?' triumphantly." "This—let them go quietly back to Jugendhalt." "No!" blinked the duke. "Are we rich enough for war?" "What the devil is my almy for if not to hold my dignity, Herbeck!" not to upset my dignity. Heresca: "Rather let me reason. This is some prank. They would never dare enter Dreiberg for alight also." "I have seen this writing before" said Hieckob. "The duke struck the bell violently. "The duke hit the chal of police." he said in the secretory. said to the secretary. "Will your highness leave the matter in my hands?" asked the chancefor "I'decock. In some things you are weak." "And in others I am strong." smiled the counsellor of the war, what he said to the soldier who was in the war "TOU HAVE BEAUTY ARMORED A PINE COMED." there is this of war; I am strong when peace is in the balance." "Is it possible, Herbeck, that you do not appreciate the magnitude of the situation?" "It is precisely because I do that I wish to move slowly. Walt. Let the police find out why they are here. Let them explain what happened to the clergy war. They have never seen her highness. Who knows?" "Ah! But they have violated the treaty." "That depends upon whether their presence here is or is not a misuse to the state. If they are here on private concerns which in nowhere touch Ehrenstein's would be foolhardy to the state." "What do you advise?" we ask. "Walt. In a day or so arrest them under the pretend that you believe them to be harmless. If this invasion is harmless and they declare themselves the matter can be adjusted in the wise: Ignore their declaration and confine them a day or two in the city prison, then publish the news broadcast. Having themselves broken the letter if not the spirit of the treaty, they will not dare declare war. Every court in Europe will laugh." The duke laughed. "You are right, Herbek. Ah, here is the chief." Herbck read the letter in part to the chief, who jotted down the words, repeating aloud in a kind of mutter. "mountaineer, a vintner, a carer, a mountain dog, a wolf, and their descriptions, your excellency?" Herbck read the postscript. "But you didn't tell him who"— "Why should he know?" said Herbek, glancing ahead at the duke. "His ignorance will be all the better for the plot." He asked as big and powerful as a Carpathian bear. Look out," warned Herbek. "And bo is?" "The mountaineer." "And the winter?" Oh, he is a little fellow and hasn't grown his blitz yet," said Herbeck dryly. The duke laughed again. "I thank you, Herbeck. You have neatly arranged a fine comedy. When the arrest is made, give it as much publicity as possible. Take a squad of soldiers. It will give it a military look." "No, your highness," touching the papers which strewed his desk. "This will keep me busy well into the owing." The duke left the cabinet. Herbeck instructed the chieft. "Begin with the mountaineer and the vintner; the others do not matter so much." Then Herbeck laughed. The chief mischief his head. He had not heard his excellency laugh like that in many mounts. "Report to me your progress. Good luck, to you!" said Herbeck with a gesture of dismissal. Her highness found the duke waiting in her apartments. "Why, father," kisses him, "what brings you here?" "A little idea I have in mind." He drew her down to the arm of the chair "We all have our little day dream." "Who does not, father?" She sled her arm round his neck. "I am a fellow, brave, wavy, thwired. If all Americans are like him America will soon become a force in the world. I have taken a fancy to him, and you know what they say of your father—no formality with those he likes. Humanly I am right, but in the virtus of every-day events in court life I am wrong. Herbeck has spoken of it, the older women speak of it, and they all say—"What do I care what they say?" hotly. "Are you not the grand duke, and am I not your daughter?" "You must ride no more with Herr Christoph. It is neither wise nor safe." "Father!" He was up with his arms folding around her. "Child, it is only for your sake. Listen to me." "You must be a princess." You must steal your heart against the invasion of love unless it comes from a state equal, or superior to your own." "Yes, father. I shall not rido with him any more." "I be a brave heart, and I shall engage to find a king for you." "I will play things, father, with the old light touch, and then she looked him full in the eyes. I promise to do nothing more to create comment if, on the other hand, you will promise to give me two years more of freedom." The duke apparently answered and shortly returned to his suit rather pleased there had been no scene—not that he considered activity was manifest in the police bureau the rest of that day. To return to Carminhak, he had never before concerned himself with resignations. Up to this hour he had never required anything he had set his heart upon. So it was, not as easy as he had for him to compare a letter to the secretary of state resigning the post at treasury. True, he added that he desired to be transferred to a department. There, or they preferred. The high commission had had the same department as the one he was willing to take. would kindly appoint his successor at once. It took courage indeed to face the latter squarely, and resolutely. That she was not going to marry the king of Judgespeech did not alter his affairs in the least. It was all hopeless. He must go. Borne one was knocking on the door, bitterly, for your excellency the court of the crown. "I knew Larmichael would learn the secret of No. 40 Krugerer let him attive himself as a winger and be in the Krugerer at 8 o'clock tonight. This note was as welcome to the recipient as the flowers in the spring, an adventurer. He was ready, now and always. "I shall need the costume of a vambar this evening," he said. "Oh, that will be easy," affirmed the conder. So it came about that Carmichael, dressed as a wintimer, hat his over, his eyes, stride into the unity night and took the way to the Krummerweg. He knew exactly where he wished to go—No. 40. After all, who was 'the lady in black, and gry should be both himself about her? She probably came from the back stairs of the palace. And yet the chancellor himself had been in this place. A step? He trained his ear. But oven as he did so his arms were grasped firmly, and twisted behind his back, and at the same time a cloth was wrapped round the lower part of his face, leaving only his eyes and nose visible. He was helpless. He was fighting against three. Then one of the three whistled. A minute or two after a closed caviage came into the Krummerweg, and Carmichael was literally bundled inside. His feet and hands were bound. The carriage began to move slowly. One turn after another he counted, fixing as well as he could the topography of the town through which they wrept passing. Once the road outside of Drehlberg was graced a fast pace was set. At the Jugendstil barrier the carriage stopped. Presently there appeared at the door an old man dressed as a mountaineer. In his hand was a lantern. "Pardon me, dear nephew—Fool!" he broke off, swinging down. "He has frickered you all. This is not he!" Three astonished faces peered over the old man's shoulder. One was a carter, another a butcher and the third a baker. Carmichael, now freed, stretched himself. "Well!" he said, with a dangerous quiet. Over Carmichael, the American consul? The old man nearly dropped the lantern. "Oh, you infernal block-heads." Carmichael's anger dissolved, and he laughed. All the mystery was gone. He say how neatly he had been duped. He still carried the note. This he gave to the leader of this midnight expedition. "Bumphm" said the 'old man in a crowd. "I thought as much." He wha- perced to his companions. "H o r r O a r m i chael, I shall have th e to back you accorling you to Dreiberg." 1 On the way it all came back to Carmichael with the viridity of a forgotten photograph come upon suddenly. Boun. Boun. Boun. and turbulent, a towheed young fellow who could not swim well, his own plunge. VINTENGER? NOT MUCH! his fingers in the faxen hair and the hard fight to the landing. All this was a tale twice told. Vintener? Not much. HER FAN. It was dawn when they began to pull up the road to Deelberg in a carriage. The mountaineer had been riding with the driver. The carriage stopped. "I shall not intrude. I trust?" said the old man, opening the door and getting in. "Not now," replied Carmichael. "What is all this about?" "A tride. The old man thought for awhile. "Suppose you had a nephew who was making a fool of himself over a woman." "Nothing unusual in that." "Nothing though of good character, she was vastly his inferior in agitation: that marriage to him was merely a political contract. What would you do?" "I believe I begin to understand." "I am grateful for that." "My nephew is an ungrateful wretch. He knew all along who I was," went on the American. "I dragged him out of the Rifle upon a certain day, and he plays this trick." "You? Carmichael, Carmichael, of course; I should have remembered the name as he wrote me at the time. Thank you! And you knew him all the while." "No. I recalled his face, but the time and place were in the dark till this early morning. Here he gates. What's this? Guards? I never saw them at these gates before." After some trouble they passed the guards. The mountsleiner got out quickly, closed the door, spoke a word to the driver and slipped into an alleyway. Carmichael arrived at the Grand hotel in Tice to see her serene highness, accompanied by two of her ladies and an escort of four soldiers start out for her morning ride. He waited till they arrived. The concierge grand at him in amusement. Carmichael winked. The concierge smiled. He understood. Americaner of Enthrastener, the young fellows were all the same. "Guards at the gate," muted Michael, as he beaked his head and face in cold water. "by George. I looks as if my friend the rhinuser was in for some argument!" Gleebent, Carmichael stopped, his collar but halftime, around his throat. Nice heave, that should not move. He would write the vintners neck. He was not to an amable mood. Some one hammered on the door. "Grumbach entered." "You are auric about something," he said. "So I am. But you are always wet- Carmichael easily drew on his coat. "Ach! So you have one too!" "One what!" "One secret." "Yes. But it's the kind we can't talk about." "I understand. Have you had breakfast?" "No." "Neither have I. Let us go together." There was a large crowd outside the palace that night, which was clear and stary, because of a great ball. A troop of cavalry patrolled the fege. Carriage after carriage rolled in through the gates, coming directly from the opera. And close by the sentry box Carmichael saw Gretchen and her wintner. Carmichael could not resist stopping a moment. He raised his hat to Gretchen to the wonder of those nearer. "Do you know where the American consulate is?" he asked low, so that none but Gretchen and the vintner heard. "Yes," said the wintner, blushing with shame. "I live above the agency." "Good! I shall expect to see you in the morning." But the wintner was determined that he shouldn't. He would be at work in the royal vineyards on the morrow. "Tomorrow?" repeated Gretchen, to whom this byplay was a blank. "Why should he wish to say you?" "Who known? Let us be going." it is half after 10," he added, as if to put forward some logical excuse for learning at this moment. A man followed them all the way to the Krumerwege. Carmichael threw himself eagerly into the play of the dance. He was an accomplished waiter, after the manner of that day, when one went round and round like some mechanical toy wound up. This would be the last affair of the kind for him, and he wanted a full memory of it. Between times he exchanged a jost or two with the chancellor or talked battles with old Ducwitz. Thrice while on the floor her highness passed him. But there was never a smile, never a glance. He became careless and rockless. He would seek her and talk to her and smile at her even if the duke threw a knife. He saw Grumbach in the gallery. "Now, what the dellr is the Dutchman doing with a pair of open glasses?" Later her, bighness stood before one of the long windows in the conservatory lastly watching the people in the square. Was that some one coming to the room we had trained. It was Carrollchelch. What an opportunity for scandal! She laughed inwardly. The barons and their wives, the ambassadors' wives and their daughters, would miss them both. And the spirit of devilty lay also upon her heart. She smiled at the man and with her fan bado him at the man and with her fan bado him be seated at her side. "You have not asked me to dance tonight," she declared. "I am neither a prince nor an ambassador." "But you have danced with me." "Yes; I have been to heaven now and then." "And do you elect yourself thus easily?" "By turning myself out my self esteem remains unruffled." "Then you expected to be turned out?" "As I have said, I am not a prince. I am only a consul, not even a diplomat; simply a business arm of my government. My diplomacy never ascends above the quality of hops and wines imported. I am supposed to "AND DECAYWE I LOVE HER!" highness." "And so Dwilberg no longer appends to you," you once cold that you loved it. "I am surned with wanderlust, your highness." "You promised to fall me what abe is like." Suddenly all his fear went away, all his trepidation. The spirit of sequestration which had tired him a little willett also again empowered him. He was afraid of nothing. "How what I describe her?" he said. "I have seen only paintings and murals, and those are inanimate. Have you ever seen the wilde, in a rubbish room?" "They are jade and laplar luril in her eyes." "So leaned toward her," he said. I love her better than life, better than hope, and between us there is the distance of a thousand worlds. By I must give up the dream and go away, as an honorable man should." Neither of them heard the chancellor's approach. "And because I love her!" "And because I love her!" Her fan dropped to the floor. "Four highness," broke in the cold, even tones of Herbek, "your father is making inquiries about you." Carmichael rose instantly, white as the drill in his shift. Hildegare, however, was a princess, she gained her feet leisurely, with a half smile on her lips. "Count, Herr Carmichael, tells me that he is soon to leave Droeberg." "Ah! There was satisfaction in Herbek's elaculation. But thore was a glint of admiration in his eyes as he recognized the challenge in Carmichael." "We shall miss Herr Carmichael." Her highness moved acronym toward the door. Carmichael waited till she was gone from sight then he stopped and picked up the fan. The entrance to the vast ducal vineyards v a made through a small lodge where the ducal vineyard lived and kept his books and money till such time as he should be required to place them before the proper official. Upon the morning following the hall at the palace the vintner was recalling against the outside wall of the gates, smoking his chin pipe and generally at peace with the world. He discerned a solitary figure approaching from the direction of Dreiberg—a youthful figure, buoyant of step and confident. Herr Hoffman was rather interested. The youth paused at the gate and inspected the old man highly. "Herr Hoffman. I want work." "So? What can you do?" The youth recounted his abilities. "I have a letter to you also." "Let me see it." Hoffman saw it, but with starting eyes. There was, then, something new under the sun. A plecker of grapes recommended by a princess! "Du, leber Gott! You are Leopold Dietrich!" "Yes, herr." "I how did you come by this letter!" "Her second bighouse is patron to Gretchen, the goose girl, at whose request the recommendation was given me." "This altered mattera. The two entered the office." "Can you write?" "A little, herr." "Then write your name on this piece of paper and that. Each night you will present yours with the number of pounds, which will be credited to you. You must bring it back each morning. If you lose it you will be paid nothing for your labor." Dietrich wrote his name twice. Still Hoffman was not wholly satisfied with his eyes. "He said to one of the man, 'take him to terrace 80. We'll see what sort of workman he is.' He spoke to Dietrich again. 'What is Gretchen to you?' For Hoffman know Gretchen. "She is my sweetheart, herr." And there was no mockery in the youth's eyes as he/said this. "Take him along. Góttlleb." Terrace 98 was given over to small grupes. This many bunnies had to be picked to work with a will. But Dietrich went to work with a will. His fingers were deft, and his knife was sharp, and by midaun he and turned his sixth basket, which was faf work, considering. As Hoffman did not feed his employees, Dietrich was obliged to beg from his coworker. Very willingly they shared with him their course bread and onions. He ate the bread and stuffed the onions in his pocket. Once more the youth was alone. He set down his basket and laughed. Was there over such a fine world? The very danger of it was the spice which gave it. "I love her, I love her!" His face grew bright again, and the wooing blood ran tingling in his vols. "Am I thief, a secondly brew, because I have that right common to all men to love one woman." Some day I shall suffer for this; some day my heart shall shuffle. So be it!" His fingers were growing sore and sticky and there was a twinge in his back as he heaouldered his slight, haste as he walked and who weighted the plek. "He was beginning his sith when he saw Grethean coming along the purple alse. "What a beautiful day!" said Gretchen, with a happy laugh. en, with a happy laugh. "Kiss 'ne'c." "When you fill that basket." "Not before?" "Not even a little one," mischief to her glance. Out came the knife, and the winter plied himself furiously. Gretchen had a knife of her own, and she joined him. "There!" he said, last. "That's what I call work." But it is worth it. Now! "Gretchen put her hands behind her back closed her eyes and raised her child. He kissed not only the lovely mouth, but the eyes and cheeks, and half, say only for your love. Gretchen—only that." And he pressed the thumb only. SATURDAY SEPT. 17, 1910. ana. But remember this. Gretchen—I loved you the best I knew how. as a man loves but, once, honorable as it was, possible, purely and clearly. He ripped a bunch of grapes from the vino, a thing no careful vjatter should do, and hold it toward her. "Have you ever heard of the kissing cherrier?" he asked. She shook her head. He explained. "This bunch will do very well." He took one grape at the bottom in his teeth. Gingerly Gretchen did the ```markdown ``` GRINCHEN BAISED HER CHIN. name. Their lip met in a smothered laughter. Then they tried it again. And this Wattie picture met the gaze of two persons on the terrace below. The emuppling face of onthreatened an explosion, but the snuffing face of the other restrained this vocal thunder. The old head vintner kicked a stone savagely. Gretchen and her lover turned. CHAPTER XIII A WHITE SCAR. YOU—began the steward. "Pattition, Hoffman!" warned her highness. Then she laughed brightly. "Your hat, sounded!" cried Hoffman. The vintner snatched off his hat apologetically and swung it around on the tips of his fingers. "Is this the way you work?" "I have picked nine hawksets." "You should have picked twelve." It interceded her highness to note that this handsome young fellow was not afraid of the head vintner. So this was Gretchen's lover? He was really handsome. There was nothing course about his features or figure. The pause was broken by Gretchen. "Pardon, highness!" "For what, Gretchen?" "For not having seen your approach." "That was my fault, not yours. When is the wedding?" "After the vintage, highness." Her highness then spoke to the bridegroom elect. "You will be good to her?" "Who could help it, your highness?" The pronoun struck her oddly, for peasants, as a usual thing, since used it to address the nobility. "Well on the day of the wedding I will stand sponsor to you both. And good luck with you." She passed down the alms, the head vintner following, wagging his head. The day was ended. The lad swung the basket to his shoulder, and the sun, flashing upon its contents, turned the bloomy globes into dull rubles. He presented his card at the office and was duly credited with three crowns, which, according to Gretchen, was a fine day's work. Hoffman said nothing about dismissal. "Come day after tomorrow. Tomorrow is a feast day. You are always having feast days when work begins. All summer, long you leaf about, but the minute you start to work you must find excuses to lay off. Clear out, both of you." "Work at laut," said Districh as he and Gretchen started for the city. Arm in arm they went oh. Sometimes Gretchen sang. Often he put her hand to his lips. By and by they came abreast of an old gyppe. He wore a coat of Joseph's, and his face was as lined as a frost bitten apple. "Will you tell me, how to find the Allergan?" he asked in broken German. His accent was that of a Magyar. They carefully gave him specifie directions, and passed out. He followed grimly, like fate whose agent he was, though long delayed. When he reached the Adjurasee he looked for a sign. He came to a stop in front of the dingy shop of the clock mender. He went inside, and the ancient clock mender looked up from his work, for he was always working. He read wearily. to give you immunity." The grypy shouldered his bundle. "For God's sake, wait!" begged the clock mender. But the grypy walked out, unheeding. Two days later, in the afternoon. "Grumbach," said Carmichael, "what were you looking at the other night with those opera glasses at the ball?" "I was looking into the past." "Oh, pawah! You were following her highness with them. I want to know why." "She is beautiful." "You made a promise to me not long ago." "I did? noncommittally." "Yes. Soon I shall be shaking the dust of Dreiberg, and I want to know beforehand what this Chinese puzzle is. What did you do that compelled your flight from Ehrenstein?" "Grumbach's pipe bung pendulent in his hand. He swung it to and fro absently." "I am waiting. Remember, you are an American citizen for all that you were born here. If anything should happen to you I must know the whole story in order to help you. You know that you may trust me." "It isn't that, captain. I have grown to like you in these few days. Those opera glasses—it was an idea. Well, since you will know, I was a gardeners boy. I worked under my brother Hermann. I used to take the nurse, who had charge of her serene highness, where she would go each day. Then I'd cut flowers and meet them on the road somewhere and give the bouquet to the child. There was never any escort—a footman and a driver. The little one was always greatly pleased; and she would call me Hans. I was in love those days." Grumbach laughed with bitterness. "Yes, even I. Her name was Tekla, and she was a jade. I wanted to run away, but I had no money. I had already secured a passport—no matter how. It was the first affair, and I was desperately hurt. One day a gypsy came to me. I shall always know him by the yellow spot in one of his black eyes. I was given a thousand crowns to tell him which road her highness was to be driven over the next day. As I gild, I was mad with love. Why a gypsy should want to know where her highness was going to ride was of no consequence to me. I told him. I was to get the money the same night. It was thus that her highness was stolen. It was thus, that I became accessory before the fact, as the lawyers say. Flight with a Magyar gypales; weary days in the mountains, with detachments of troops scouring the wreck duchy. Finally I escaped. A fortune was offered for the immediate return or the child. At the time I believed that it was an abduction for ransom. But no one ever came forward for the reward. There was a price on my head whon it was known that I had fled." "And no one ever came for the reward? That is strange. Was immunity promised?" Carmichael asked. K "It was inferred, but not literarily promised." "Fear kept "Fear kept them away." "Porthape. And there is Arnsberg." "Was he guilty?" "I never saw his hand anywhere." "So this is the story! Well, when a man's in "WAS IMMUNITY story! Well, when a man's in love he is more or less in the clutch of temporary insanity. I've a wild streak in me also. But what I can't understand is why you return and put your hand in the lion's mouth. The police will stumble on something. If you are arrested I could do little for you. The United States protects only harmless political outcasts. You're a crime such as nullifies your citizenship, and any government would be compelled to send you back here if the demand was made for your extradition." "I know all that." "I suppose that when conscience drives we must go on. But the princess has been found. The best thing you can do is to put your passports into immediate use and return to the States. You can do no good here." "Maybe." Grumbach: realised his pipe, lighted it and without saying more went out and down into the street. Carmichael watched him through the window. "He's a queer codger, and it's a queer story. I don't believe I have heard it all other. What was he really hunting for with those glasses? I give it up." He was not angry with Grumbach. Rather he seemed to be drawn to him more closely than ever. Mad with love—that was the phrase. He coined it over and over—mad with love. That excused many things. Grumbach was instead perturbed, and this sensation was the result of what he had not told his friend. Gott! And after a time he was in the Adlergasse. And of all that happy, noisy family only he, and Hermann left. Is one of the open doorway, for it was warm, a soal screes of vanishing summer; he saw a fat, young, woman knitting woolen hose. Two or three children sprawled about her knees. There was that, peruclation of lip and forehead which marked the dissatisfaction of the coquette married. He was, not condescension, that he, had paused, but the woman was. She ayeed him, with the mild, inexperience of the bowing. They she dropped his glance, and the shining needles clipped my brush. Kordy, like his, lay down. And for this, He begged discreetly. The woman looked up again, wonderfully. Now, why should this stronger laugh all by himself, like that? Hass saw the sign of the Tiger's beagle and directed his steps thitherward. He sat down, and entered a beer, but did not touch the glass. And what right, he shuddered, had consequence to The Silver Horde By REX BEACH Author of "The Spoilers" and "The Barrier" A Stirring Story of the Great Northwest Mr. Beach has written his most powerful novel in "The Silver Horde."

And yet, tall as he might at this invisible restraint called conscience, he saw God's direction in this return. Only he, Hans Grumbach, knew and one other. And that other, who? Fat-Tekla was fat, and he had treasured the fair picture of her youth long years. Well, there was an end to that. Little fat Tekla, to have nearly overturned a duchy! And then Hans became aware of voices close at hand. "Yes, frau, he is at work in the grand duke's vineyards. And think, the first day he picked nine baskets." "That is good, but I know many a one who can pick their twelve. And you are to be married when the vintage is done? You will make a fine wife, Gretchen." And so a fine husband." Her laughter rippled. She was always close to that expression. "You are a funny man. Come in, then; but mind, you will be dusty with flour when you leave." Into the kitchen she led him. She was moved with curiosity. Why should any man wish to see a woman knead bread? "Bit there, here." And she pointed to a stool at the end of the table. Gretchen deliberately rolled up her sleeves and began work. Upon Gretchen's left arm, otherwise perforation, there was a white war with ague. "What is the matter, herr?" with concern. "I grow dizzy like this sometimes. It doesn't amount to anything." Gretchen turned down her sleeves. "You must go now, for I have other work." And so have I, Gretchen. He gained the street, but how he never knew. A great calm suddenly winged down upon him, and the work became clear—clear as his purpose, his courage, his duty. They might shoot or hang him as they saw fit. This would not deter him. The gray, standing in the center of the walk, did not see Grumbach, for he was looking toward the palace. Grumbach, even more oblivious, crashed into him. Grumbach stammered and apologized, and the other replied in his peculiar dialect. The far, however, his "And you will bring him a dowry too. But his own people—what does he say of them?" "He has no parents, only an uncle, who doesn't count. We shall live with grandmother and pay her rent." "And you are wearing a new dress," admiringly. Gretchen preened herself. Hans dropped the lid of his stem and pushed it away. His heart always warmed at the sight of this goose girl. He counted down the small change for the beer, sled back in his chair and sauntered to the bar. "Good day to you, herr," was her greeting. who fell into kind hands. This is where I live." "And if I should ask to come in?" "But I shall be too busy to talk. This is bread day," evasively. "I promise to sit very quiet in a chair." Her laughter rippled. She was always close to that expression. "You are a funny man. Come in; then, but mind, you will be dusty with flour when you leave." Into the kitchen she led him. She was moved with curiosity. Why should any man wish to see a woman kneed bread? "Bil there, here." And she pointed to a stool at the left of the table.

The gryp, standing in the center of the walk, did not see Grumbach, for he was looking toward the palace. Grumbach, even more oblivious, crashed into him. Grumbach stammered an apology, and the other replied in his peculiar dialect. The jar, however, had roused Haps out of his tragic musings. There was a glint of yellow in the gryp's eye, a dawn in the iris. Hans gave a cry. "You! I find you at this moment of all others." The gryp retreated. "I do not know you. It is a mistake." "But I know you," whispered Hera. "And you will know me when I tell you that I am the gardener's boy you raised some sixteen years ago." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Keep Nest-Box Clean.

As a matter of fact, the nest boxes are usually just as full. If you don't believe it, poke around in the nesting material and see how quickly the mites 'awarm' over your hands.

CLUB WITHDRAWS INVITATION Former President Refuses to Associate With Men Accused of Election Bribery in Illinois. Mr. Roosevelt didn't mince matters in his speech before the Hamilton club, of Chicago. He hit out straight from the shoulder and told the men of Illinois that the four men who have been bribing the Justice Department and the four who have confessed have committed a most infamous treason, against American institutions. The colonel told Chicago that they ought to be ashamed to allow men of corrupt leanings to represent them in the legislature. He said that any same minded man who had read the reports of the two district attorneys engaged in the Lorimer case could arrive at only one conclusion. He did not mention names, but he made himself clear on every point. One of the important points that Colonel Rosevelt brought out was the fact that it is not necessary to convict a man in a court, of law to be able to convict him. Law honestly is the only thing he said. If you know, he is clonched, clutch him. The people have power in electoral offices, he declared. The administrative heads have the power of removal from amputative offices. Mr. Roosevelt refused to sit at the same table, with Lorimer. As soon as he heard that the Illinois senator, who has been in the limelight concerning bribery charges of his election, was scheduled to appear at the Hamilton club dinner Mr. Roosevelt angrily denied that case he wouldn't attend. "It was very emphatic in the declarations, too." Members of the Hamilton club tried to disuse Mr. Roosevelt from harsh judgment. A large crowd pricked up their cans in order to catch every word. The colonel talked sufficiently loud for every one to hear. He had made up his mind and nothing on earth could change it, he said. Judge John H. Batton told Mr. Roosevelt that he would ask Senator Lorimer to withdraw, but the colonel would hear of no such thing. He insisted Mr. Roosevelt had refused to associate publicly with him and there wasn't room for the two of them at the dinner. He could do that or leave the colonel out of it. After a conference that was mighty brief, the Chicagoans decided to send this message to Senator Lomorr: "Colonel Roosevelt positively declines to sit at the same table with you, Our invitation to you is, therefore, withdrawn." The colonel was satisfied when he saw this message and took occasion to rollerblades, his absolute refusal to have anything to do with Senator Lomorr. tank for the damage to the vessel has not been attached. The dead area, Joseph Schmidt, of New York, Robert Glimore, coal passer, of Newport, R. L., and Joseph Street, enlisted at Grand Rapids, Meth. The accident to the oil fuel system of the North Dakota is the first of the kind that has occurred in the savy since oil as an auxiliary fuel was introduced. The oil system in use in the navy, the oil is conducted through pipes to a settling tank, which is located in the fireroom. This tank is for the purpose of allowing the water to be separated from the oil. From the settling tank the oil is forced through pumps and then sprayed on the live fire under the boiler. The oil fuel enables a battleship to get up steam faster than by the use of coal alone and also affects an economy in the coal consumption. Falls to Fly Across Irish Channel. Robert Lorraine, the acutor aviator, failed to cross the Irish channel by sixty yards. He left Holyhead, Eng., and traveled sixty miles, being out of sight of land for more than forty miles, and then, with victory apparent, was not known in Dublin that he was going to make the attempt. Yachtmen in the bay saw an aeroplane descending from a great height. It hit the water about sixty yards, from the shore near the Bailey灯屋. Lorraine says that when he got out in the channel he met with considerable haze. He had some trouble with his engine. After he had covered one third of the distance one of the wires broke, but he got along fairly well. As he neared the cliff he fell into the hill and be doubled, back, intending to ascend, when another wire broke and the machine immediately began to fall. Lloyd; W. Beware Is Dead Solicitor General Lloyd W. Bowers, whom President Taft had picked for a supreme court justicehip, died in Boston of complications arising from an attack of bronchitis. Solicitor General Bowes had been ill for about a month but it was supposed he had recovered. Mr. Bowes was appointed as solicitor general by President Taft, March 22, 1809. The appointment was one of president who had long held Mr. Bowes in high regard. The first news of Mr. Bowes' illness became generally known through a telegram sent by Mr. Bowes to President Taft last Tuesday while he was returning to Beverly from the west. So solicitous was Mr. Taft that as soon as he reached Boston he called at the hotel and found the patient so much improved that he was able to see him. Bowes here asked the patient Bowes here asked that the patient was chatting cheerfully with his wife and son when, suddenly, he stopped talking and a moment later was dead. The physicfan, Dr. Frederick Coggehall, sped by automobile to the hotel on a telephone summons only to discover that Mr. Bowers had died instantly on blood clot in the foot of the orifice of the illness of Mr. Bowers, which took the form of a violent cold, was due to overwork. Meat Packers Indicted. J. Ogden Armour, Louis F. Swift, J. Edward Morris and Edward Tilden, the big four in the Chicago, beet trust, were indicted by a federal grand jury, charged with a combination of theft of trade in relation of the Sherman antitrust law. In addition named in the true bills were, Arthur Meekor, of Armour and Co.; Charles Swift, and several other men in all, of lesser night in the beef. combination. The corporations named in the recent true bill which was found faulty by Judge Landis weren't named. The grand jury had followed the instructions of Judge Landis and indicted the men instead of the corporeffits. Under section 2 of the Sherman antitrust law those convicted under this indictment may be sent to prison for one year, Bined $5000, or both, in the discretion of the court. Trades His Baby For Plg. A Russian woman living near Winnipeg, Man., gave birth to twins, but her husband was no displaced over the dual addition to his family that he promptly traded one of the babies to another Russian for a pig. He was sent to a detention of the authorities, and a constable forced the father to cancel the trade, which he had made over the bitter protests of the mother. It is probable that the entire family will be deported. Government officials point to this case as showing a need of reform in the divorce laws. The woman will be deported because she is now living in her husband, though public sentiment favors letting her remain and shipping away the husband. Postmaster Dius In Jail. Death ended the career of William T. Briggs, gatmaster of Hartford, N. J. in the county jail at Camden, N. J. Briggs, who was twenty-six years old, was arrested one-week ago on a charge of being $1800 short in his account, authorities, and said he had spent the monkey in, fast, briggs. He was committed, to jail in default, of $1000 ball. Briggs was taken, with deftness, treens on Saturday. He was one of the best known men in South Jersey.

Crank Galls Roosevelt a Liar. A rough, dirty looking man, wearing a battered doried hat, and with a two days' growth of beard on his face, jammed his way through the crowd at island park, at Fargo, N. D., where Mr. Roosevelt spoke, and demanded an audience. It was just at the conclusion of the colonel's speech to the laboring men of the city, which Mr. Roosevelt and spoken were wally 1500 persons. They didn't know what it all meant. "I've a question to ask," he yelled, as he pressed closer to the colonel. "I want to speak to you." Mr. Rosevelt whispered, a boring man who wished to make him self-clear on some point in the ad dress, asked him what he wanted. "Who is paying for this trip of yours!" the stranger cried. "Who's paying for it!" The colonel was very angry then, and he glared fiercely. "That is a very important question," replied Mr. Roosevelt. "I don't mind telling you, however, that the man is going to speak which I am connected, speaking for it." The rough intruder stepped closer to Mr. Roosevelt, while the crowd stood and gaped. There were no policemen near. "It is a lie; I tell you a lie," the man shouted. "The nation is paying for it. The country is doing it." The colonel saw in a flash that the man was a socialist and probably a demented-foolish. He rushed towards him, grabbed the man's right arm and jerked it upwards, wrenching it as he did no. He pushed the intruder back and continued to pun him so that the man had dropped to the ground. The man disappeared in the crush before an officer hove in sight. Jury Fees Les Browne. Lee ONeil Brown, charged with bribery in connection with the election of William Lorimer to the United States senate, was found not guilty by a jury in the criminal court at Chicago. This was Brown's second trial. This termination of a case that has, as a result, been criticized and trained nationwide attention was all the more sensational because of former President Roosevelt's retaliation to attend the banquet of the Hamilton club in his honor if Senator Lorimer was to be present. The verdict was a surprise to the many who had watched the progress of the election and that a repetition of the tedious deliberations of the first jury, which was out 115 hours, would close the case. Ty Cobb May Lose Eye That Tyrus Cobb, outfielder of the Detroit American league team, is in danger of losing the use of his right eye, was the announcement made by Hugh Jennings, the manager of the Detroit hase ball team. Cobb did not come to Cleveland with the Detroit team for the four-game series in this city, but remained in Detroit to consult a specialist. If the specialist will consult the Detroit team, Cobb will not play any more this year. The Detroit management may send Cobb to New York to be examined by specialists there.

The True Reformers Have Much Trouble. known as the. Savings Bank of the Grand United Order or True Reformers, was holding the checks without paying them. A little deeper-wear was the search conducted, and it was learned those of the order are the same. In fact, the bank is an affiliated institution. CHECKS WERE HELD. This was the method of procedure: The treasurer of the order was cashier, of the bank. The checks for payment of the insurance claim would be properly drawn by the order, and the bank would all regular. The order had the money on deposit. Then the cashier of the bank would put these checks away in a drawer and they would not be paid. The records of the bank did not show that the checks had been presented. The bank looked all right. Immediate demand was made by Colonial Button for the payment of the claims. The bank made its arrangements and paid them. But the commissioner was not satisfied with the management. He gave the order to the bank, which is now being held, to cleanse its stables. For weeks past officers and members of the True Reformers have been notified that there must be a change of management. Taylor, the grand master, was told that he must step up his role and that effect. The result was to be an immediate investigation and firm application of the insurance laws. It was Colonial Button's intention to reform the order, not to wreck it. He desires to build it up for should it happen. But it probably, the entire fabric of colored secret societies to which the negro race pins its highest hopes. STOOD TO GUNS All day yesterday delegations of members called on the commissioner at his office in the Capitol, some of the members undertaking to argue the points at issue with him. He produced his reports and official records, and told them what he expected. Explained, he told the delegation he delivered his ultimatum. Taylor's head must fall in the basket. It fell. Yesterday's action of the Grand Fountain is regarded as a complete return to sanity and conservatism. In new hands the order is expected to continue its work safely and successfully. The last unintended harm was Taylor stopping down without protest. The pepent and leader of all such associations among the colored people of the United States, the United Order or True Reformers, this has generally venerated as a model of what such things should be, and how up as a pattern to be. It has its recent management, have resulted in bringing it to the situation in which the Grand Fountain found itself when it assembled here on Tuesday. The association was organized in 1831 by William Washington Browne in colored minister of Richmond. A charter was issued on April 1888 it steadily grew and grew into a gathering thousands of people into its lodgings scattered throughout most of the Southern and Eastern States, and extending into the Middle West. The membership in Washington, D. C., is large. SOLD IT8 OWN PROPERTY. In the annual report of Brown, the grand worthy master, in 1894, he recommended that the association purchase from him in fee simple the plans of each department of the order. He had prepared himself for this court by having the ritual and constitution copyrighted in 1897, the Grand Pontiain, at its session held in September, 1895, agreed to the purchase for the compensation of $50,000, by a standing vote, which was nearly unanimous. Subsequently, under an agreement with Brown's widow, this amount was compromised at $40,000. All of this was paid with the exception of three or four thousand dollars through emergency fund created in 1896 by individual subscriptions. Quoting from the report of Examiner T. M. Hobson, to the Commissioner of Insurance, made last February: "the sale of insurance to the order was a severe breach of trust for the reason that his service and labors had been bought by the order, and, to have sold them the fruits or such services deserved by the goodwill administered, was only the good will, and this they already unoffied." GRAND MASTER RULES. Under the laws of the order, the president is, or has the opportunity to be, a supreme power. The Grand Fountain, which meets only once in two years, elects a board of directors composed of the first two officers and nine others, however, the administrative duties are delegated to an executive committee, which is composed of the grand-master, vice grand-master, grand secretary, grand treasurer, and three others appointed by the grand master. The board cannot be able to control the other three officers, the can with his own vote and those of the men he appoints; absolutely control the situation. As a further mark of disbanding it is recorded that he wife of W. W. Fountain, the Grand Fountain, given the sole right to manufacture regale for the members. Here has bandalaria was at that time small but this privilege lessened the rev cases of the family to a large extent. At the suggestion of the wily founder, the rights, please $3,000 for them. BANK IN THE GAME. The Savings Bank of the Grand United Order of True Reformers, which is operated by corollary members chartered in 1888. Stock was subscribed to by individual members of the order. The charter of the bank provides that its board of directors shall be the board of directors of the True Reformers. Stock was sold on the condition that at the request of the bank, a report to the bank, and no provision is made for its reissuance. As to the unpaid claims against the order, which caused the Bureau of Insurance to sharpen its stick and to begin its work of peremptory reform, the quotation is from the Hobson report, made to Commissioner Buttors. UNION IS HURTFUL. "Such an affiliation is delimited to the association. The officers of the Grand Fountain, holding in trust and responsible for the funds of the association, have no right to neglect their full duties. The association is obligated to organize and lend their influence towards the protection of an affiliated institution. Not only has the bank been fostered with withholding the checks of the association, but the Grand Fountain has loaned the bank $2,110.00 of its mortgage loans to the association, and the home office building for $2,000.00 and turned this amount over to the bank, making a total of $41,100. "Under instructions from the department—the officers of the bank, within the last three weeks, made arrangements to meet the outstanding balance of the association, and seen that the practice or protecting the bank at the sacrifice of the reputation of the association works a most severe hardship and should be discontinued. It is impossible for the officers to occupy the same offices in each affiliated institution and to discontinue their duties and responsibilities." — Times-Dispatch. The Grand Fountain elected A. W. Holmes, Grand Worthy Master, last Thursday morning and Edward Ellis, Jr. was succeeded as Vice Grand Worthy Master by W. L. Anderson, of Pittsburgh, Pa. NEW YORK BANK LOSES $150,000 Other Banks May Also Be Losers I Loans on Doubtful Securities—Dect ectives Trail Man. Offers of the Mercantile National bank, in lower Broadway, New York, have reported to the district attorney that they thought that the institu- tion had lost in the neighborhood of $100,000 through a man whose dealings with it are under scrutiny. Mr. Whitman wouldn't say who his visitors were nor would he name the institution. There is in progress an investigation in which a financial concern in in- terested, but it is not in such shape that I can talk about it," was all the district attorney would say. It was said in the criminal courts building that the man referred to is not any officer or employee of the institution that has started the inquiry in the district attorney's office, but an outsider who borrowed through the regular course of business, and it was alleged that the money was obtained, by means either of securities of doubtful authenticity or commercial rating falsely secured. And it was furthermore said that before the investigation is ended other banks and trust companies — probably three — will figure as losers through the same man. The man in question was himself in the district attorney's office during the prosecution and made statement in the court that trust company's official to Mr. Whitman. The fact that he wasn't arrested by Mr. Whitman's detectives indicates that the complainants themselves were not absolutely sure that their disquieting client had come in contact with the criminal law. The man was followed out of the criminal's courtyard, building by central office detectives who are assigned to Mr. Whitman's office. He went to an upstairs hotel, and share the detectives sat down to see that he didn't leave the jurisdiction. He was so all intents and purpose, a prisoner, though the detectives didn't expect to make an arrest.

GIRL SHOOTS HERSELF Eloped From Chester and Triad Sublice When Arrested. Elibel Pierce, a thirteen-year-old girl from Chester, Pa., attempted to kill herself the Chief of Police, Goods of the Steeped steped into a hotel room to take her host a custody and to arrest William Firth, Jr., twenty-seven years old, wilt whom she had eloped from her home. Physicians say she cannot live. Firth, who is said to be the night flicker agent of the Pennsylvania railroad at Chester, and the girl, who is only thirteen years old, arrived at Alexandra, Va. which she is about eight miles from Washington. They went to the Hotel Ramel and registered. The Alexandraria police were on the lookout for the couple. Chief of Police Goods went to the hotel and knocked on the door of the room they occupied. Fifth opened the door and after a few words with Chief Goods acknowledged his identity. Immediately the girl, who was standing behind the door, shut herself through the temple and knocked her revolver. Inflicting what the physician say is a fatal wound, and they state that she will not live. Fifth is held on the charge of abduction. CHARGED WITH SMUGGLING Baltimore Woman Accused of Bring- ing to $10,000. in Jewelry Mrs. Loutes Klein, sixty years old, who went to Philadelphia from Baltimore last Thursday, has been arrested by Keenan and O'Brien, cify hall detectives, and accused of smuggling into this country jowels valued at $10,000.

COLN OMADE --- LIVE STOCK SERUM TREATMENT FOR HOGS Experimenta With This Mahad-86K5 That 98½ Per Cent of Diseased Swine Are Cured. Hogs that are be treated with serum or vaccinated by the serum simultaneous method should be dileted and given clean quarters, with plenty of straw bedding, for at least twelve hours before they are handed. The skin over the region where the serum and blood are injected should be cleaned with a disinfectant. A 2 per cent water solution of a good grade of tar disinfectant may be used and the part scrubbed with the solution, so as to clean it as thoroughly as possible. The above precautions against the entrance of filth and germs through the opening in the skin made by the needle are necessary. Unless properly observed septic infection, or blood pol soiling, and lubricious formations occur. The serum is usually injected into the muscles of the inside of the thigh. A glass barrelled 20 c. c. hypodermic syringe with a short slip on needle to be preferred for injecting the serum. In vaccinating hogs two syringes, one for the serum and one for the virulent blood, are necessary. Usually a 2 c. c. glass barrelled hypodermic syringe is used for the virulent blood and the injection made beneath the skin of the opposite thigh, into which the serum is injected. The hog is exposed to the disease by this method and at the same time given a protective dose of serum. This should be practiced in the absence of exposure to the disease from the yards or surroundings. In recently infected herds the body temperatures of the hogs should be taken in order to separate the healthy from the diseased animals. This should be done in order to determine the quantity of serum necessary Depending on the weight and extent of exposure, infected animals should receive from one half to twice the dose given the healthy hogs. More than 1,300 hogs have been vaccinated by the serum simultaneous method with a loss of about $1 \frac{1}{4}$ per cent. This loss was due largely to septic infection. PIGS CHEAPLY RAISED. Grass and Oat Stubble Develop Deep Bodied Pigs With Strong Muscle and Bone Development. There are two directions from which profits may come in raising crops. The first of these, at least the first in the minds of most men, arises from high prices at selling time. The second, which is really the most important, is in more economical methods of production. Observation of a number of farms leads to the belief that not half the farmers who are engaged in raising hogs know half as much as they ought to about how to raise them cheaply. There is the example of a farmer who, having little inclination to lay out money for feed, turned his pigs on to grass and let them hustle for themselves. As soon as nuts were harvested he began to feed them sheaf oats and opened up to them the oat stubble, in which there was a reasonable growth of clover. These pigs were perhaps a little leagery. They did not show deep bodied hog form, but they did show strong muscle and bone development, and when finishing time had come they had put on flesh more rapidly than any crop of pigs this farmer ever had on his place. They also developed bony structures that carried them to market in good shape. Undoubtedly pigs grown in this manner may be marketed at a much less percentage of cost than in any other way. Feed During Molting Season. We are in the molding season. Bran fed twice a day with skimmilk will help the feathering process. One-eighth of linseed meal and seven-eighths of millet, spoiled alfalfa or kamr seed imbedded with skimmilk is a good feed to give on alternate days. Plenty of fresh green food must be given when the birds are penned, and one meal should be mainly whole wheat. A more uniform form is obtained when the fowls are coddled in small pea, each accommodating six or eight; but, of course, it is only the fancy follows who can potter around in this way. Each would then secure a proper share of food—a thing especially important at this time to hurry up the molt. Protect Stock From Pillow Apply with a spray, pump or brush a half pint of the following mixture to your live stock every other day for about six applications, then every fourth to sixth day as necessary. Out, apply two cakes of common laundry soap and heat enough water to dissolve it. Add one and one-half pounds of resin, one-half pint of oil and one-half pint of kerosene. Mix well and then add enough water to make three gallons of the mixture. A little of this applied to the house spray his humans treatment, but as his grown is much more tender than that of the cow it should be applied more lightly, and the kerosene should be jolt out. Unclean food is responsible fur a great deal of mortality among small chickens. CLEAN BARN FOR COWS. Light and Air Necessary, and Room Should Be Provided to Take Milk ' Immediately After Drawing. The location of the barn is of the utmost importance. A number of old barns are in such locations that it would be next to impossible to make satisfactory barns out of them, as the drainage would be absolutely imperfect. The main thing to do to improve the condition of the average old barn so that clean milk may be produced would be to improve the sanitation. Model Cow Barn. Grade up the yard about the barn so that the cows will not have to wade in mud and flish. One of the first things to do is to get it up out of the mud. Nearly all the old barns are right down on the ground, the bottoms rotting out of them. It is not a very difficult or expensive job to raise the barn and put a concrete foundation under it. The next thing is the question of improving the floor. The best thing that can be done would be to put in a cement floor with proper gutters. While the floor is being fixed it is wise to make arrangements for some kind of improved stall or stanchion. The overhead and sides of the cow barn should be ceilled. The stable should be well provided with windows so that the cows may have an abundance of light. Some system of ventilation must be adopted, as the cows must have pure air. It should be so arranged that the air will not blow directly on the cows, but will change without the cows being in a draft. The stables must be kept scrupulously clean; cobwebs must not be allowed to accumulate in the corners or along the beams. Every dairy barn should have a room provided where the milk may be taken as soon as drawn from the udder so that it may receive proper care. Change Pasture of Sheep. When pastures become dry and brown and the ewes are still nursing their lambs they are very likely to be pulled down badly. It never pays to allow any farm animal to become thin, and the sheep is unusually slow and hard to return to good flesh once it has been reduced. A change of pasture for two or three days will do wonders for sheep, even if the change does not give them a fresher or a greener feeding place. Just now there are many unseeded wheat stubbles full of ragweeds or other weeds that the sheep will quickly clean out if given a chance. A couple of days on young seedling will not hurt it if it is thrifty. If no other place can be found feeding along the roadside would improve both sheep and roadside. If the pasture is very short and no change can possibly be given a little grain should be fed. It may seem hard to dole out high priced grain to low priced sheep, especially in the summer time, but sheep are not always going to be low, and those in good condition will be in line for biggest profits when the tide turns in the sheep's favor. To Prevent Typhoid. There is a reason for every outbreak of typhoid in the country. The cheapest and safest plan is to prevent the pollution of wells and other sources of water supply. LIVE STOCK NOTES A brood sow must be fed properly. Kill Canadian thistles and quack grass. Wheat bran and oats make strong bones in the colt. An attendant should be on hand at the time of birth, for a little timely help has saved many a valuable colt. Clean water, pure air and sunshine are all free, and they are necessary in the production of pure, wholesome milk. Filth and dampness are great hindrances. The first fosters vexin; the second brings, most dangerous alliances to live stock. Eternal vigilance is the price of having the best, so one must watch for insect pests and be ready with insecticides and fungicides to destroy them. The vowel appetite is important, but it should not be abused. As much harm comes from allowing her to eat too much as comes from not allowing her to eat enough. Girls this year will run largely to loud colors. They will be seen everywhere, as usual. The quiet effects will however, be used to some extent, and are always more serviceable. The summer resort styles will be very much worn, and there are several popup varieties already on the market. Mountain girls, as usual, will come high. European varieties are in great demand on account of the surplus cash that usually goes with them. Large, handsome blondes lead in interest and activity. Of these there is the peach blonde, the swite blonde, the bippy-bippy blonde and the languid blonde. Several brunettes with flashing eyes, have made a hit. A prime favorite, much sought after, is a medium sized mushroom chanterel variety, with a good disposition and a hatred of ice cream soda. Motor girls continue with immense activity. One should be careful in selection, however, until outward wraps are removed, as appearances are deceptive. Domestic varieties are a drug on the market. It is thought that this style will go out entirely.—Life. BLESSINGS OF HOME Home joys are blessed of heaven.—Seneca. Home is the sacred refuge of our life.—Dryden. Home is the chief school of human virtue.—Channing. Home should be the center of joy, equatorial and tropical.—Beehorn. A cottage will hold as much happiness as would stock a palace.—James Hamilton. Domestic happiness, thou only bliss of paradise that hath survived the fall.—Cowpor. Apollus, used to paint a good housewife on a small, to import that she was homekeeping.—James Howell. Silence and chatee reserve is woman's guineal praise, and to remain quiet within the house.—Euripides. The sober comfort, all the peace which springs from the large aggregate of little things.—Hannah More. She was little known beyond her home, but there she silently spread, around her that soft, purd light, the precociousness of which is never fully understood till it is quenched.—Channing. THE BACHELOR GIRL Alas! Why is the marriage relation always a distant one? Money talks! Yes, and it will also keep a lot of other people quiet. It takes a man with lots of nerve to marry a woman with lots of nerves. It is more often proximity than affinity that leads to those summer soul-matings. As a preparation for her great life-work one brother is of more assistance to the average girl than a college education. It doesn't make a man jealous when his wife tells him about the men she might have married and didn't; it merely makes him envious. The lower the neck the higher the price, but it's so difficult to convince a husband that the most expensive part of an evening gown is what's cut off at the top. The road to hades may be paved with good intentions, but the men who go by the limited express escape all that by never having any intention of being good—Helen Rowland. HINTS FOR ANGLERS A bookworm does not make good bait for trout fishing. Trout may or may not make brains, but they certainly make lias. The angler is like the actor in one respect, he must not forget his lines. Birds are often brought down on the wing; trout are frequently brought up on the fly. We prefer, however, having our trout stories overdrawn rather than our bank account. The red spots on a trout do not indicate scarlet fever or the measles, as some suppose. Like many humans, the trout that keeps his mouth shut saves himself lots of trouble. If you book a trout you pull it in; If you book anything else you are apt to get pulled in yourself. That is all we know about trout. Provide Shade and Dust Bath. The vitality of fowls will run down just as it will in a person when ex- treme heat comes; and it will pay to prepare for such conditions. Where there is an abundance of shade, no more preparation will be necessary than to furnish a cool and bath some- where in the shade where the home will jolter in the heat of the day. NEVER AGREE.

Must Be Raised Abgv Level of Burrowing Ground. The best door for a poultry house is made of dirt. It is the least expensive, most sanitary and conducive to the best results. A wooden floor is objectionable for the reason that it furnishes a harbor for vermin, including rats, weasels, etc., and soon decays. An earth floor acts as an absorbent of the poultry droppings and is at all times perfectly healthy. It should be raised eight or nine inches above the level of the ground outside the poultry house, that it may be free from dampness. Late summer is the best time to replenish the house with a fresh supply of earth, in order that it may have ample time to become thoroughly dry before cold, weather sets in. The kind of earth to use is a debatable question. As a rule, dirt easiest obtained is that used. A clay loam makes a good floor. Except when dry its dust is as fine as ashes and lodges on everything in the poultry building. It is said that such dust is a lice preventive for the reason that it fills the crevices, the hiding places of yermin, and smothers the lice when they attempt to hide in their accustomed V Raised Floor of Henhouse. cracks, *Kanity* loam, is good, but sand alone some would object to applying upon their land. Coarse sand or gravel makes an ideal floor, but the same objection may be offered to this as to sand. Floors of cement are, of course, rat and skunk proof, but they should always be covered with a good depth of earth or litter for best results. 311 North Fourth Street, ANCIENT RACE OF POULTRY. La Brease Hens Are Good layers and Exceptional Table Birds—Raised In France For Centuries. The beautiful breed of La Bresse chickens are not only dainty looking fowls, but they are quite the artisocrats of the poultry world. They are not only beautiful to look at, but are celebrated in France for their laying qualities and also for being one of the best of table birds. "Poularde" is Bresse is there a household word, and it is well deserved, for their flesh is extremely white and delicate. The hens La Breese Hen. lay a wonderfully large egg, well over two ounces, and their average is about 170 to 180 in the year. Since the end of February eight of these pullets have held 376 eggs, an average per bin of 145 eggs up to May 1. This result, seeing that they have been out in all kinds of weather, speaks volumes in their favor. They are an absolutely pure bred little race, which has existed in the province of Alsco for centuries. Curs For Chleken Por Chicken pox, which is a very infectious disease, usually appears among the younger chicks first, later spreading to the older ones. When the first symptoms are discovered among the flock the first thing to do is to provide a separate house for those chickens affected—in other words, to isolate them. Then disinfect the henhouse from which they have been taken thoroughly with coal tar, after which disinfect the house which they have been put into. It is necessary to use the disinfectant upon the fowls as well as upon the house. Wash the head aid face of each one with a strong apnipha made by using soft water and carbolic soap. Do a thorough job as so as to soften the scabs on the face. After this anoint the head and face with carbolised vasiline. Feed the whole fork a maslit in which a teaspoonful of ennui salts has been dissolved for each six hens in the flock and repeat this dose once a week as long as the disease appears. In the flock. Fowls which have been infected will show the disease after the separation, has been made, but has fast as if appedii take the sick fowls from the flock and put them in the hospital.

We can print any thing from a label, the size of a postage stamp to a poster as large as your front door. JOHN MITCHELL, JR., POULTRY NOTES Scaly legs on heats are caused by a small parasite underneath the skin. Except during the breeding season, keep males away from the flock. Hens lay better if left alone. Youngsters should be supplied with plenty of shade during hot weather. The amount of feed required to produce a pound of gain increases as the chicks approach maturity. A chicken's stomach is delicate, and the same diet day after day harms it as much as it does a human. When feeding grain throw it broadcast all over the lot, so that all the birds may have an equal chance. Be sure that the new henhouse is located where the drainage is good and not a place where water will stand for any length of time. Nothing is more infurious to poultry than inbred or infected meat of any kind, as it will disturb their bowels and cause great trouble. During the busy fall days don't forget to provide for the hen's diet as well as for other stock. While preparing dainalties for the table, hoard up some for the hens. Every hen that does not pay for her keep by laying eggs should be sold at once. There are thousands of hens in the poultry yards that are losing money for their owners. Find out whether you have such hens, and, if so, get rid of them. ADVANTAGES OF THE HOPPER Keeps:Feed Free From Dirt and Saves Time—Directions For Building. There are decided advantages possessed by the hopper that other feeding devices do not have. The automatic lid prevents the food getting mixed with dust and dirt. The fowl can open the lid at any time for eating, and the food will only come in the manger as it is used. One filling of the hopper will supply food for two or three days. The hopper is eight inches wide, two and one-half feet high and three feet CHICKEN HOUSE Hopper For Feeding. long. The roof projects over the perch and hopper.
