THE RICHMOND PLANET TRUE REFORMERS COMPLETE BUSINESS Few Changes Made.==Rev. Taylor in Charge of Myrtle Grove.==His Son Loses Job.==True Reformers Bank to be Revolutionized. STOCK HOLDERS TO MEET AND ELECT OFFICERS VOLUME XXVII, NO. 43. TRUE R COMP Few Changes A Myrtle Grove Reformers STOCK HOL The Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers adjourned last week, but the Board of Directors has been in session this week. The upheaval there has left practically all the employees on the anxious seat." Ex-Grand Master William L. Taylor has been given the designation of Past Grand Worthy Master, a position created for the purpose and it is understood that he will be given a job at a salary of one hundred dollars per month. Some say his task will be to have charge of Myrtle Grove, an outlying settlement and some others that he is to have charge of the new Old Folks' Home. ONE GONE. His son, Mr. Thomas Taylor will lose his place as superintendent of Old Folks' Home. Most of the contemplated changes, it is said are of an appointive character and the present encumbents will hold over until the first of the year, when many heads are scheduled to drop in the basket. The True Reformers' Bank will receive attention. Mr. William P. Burrell will succeed Rev. Taylor as its president. MUST SEPARATE BANK The state officials in charge of this department through the Bureau of Insurance have discounted the organization of savings banks in connection with fraternal and insurance institutions and the two branches must be divorced and kept separate. This will result in the relinquishing of all title and interest on the part of the savings bank, Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers. This will apply too to other institutions. HAVE REDUCED SALARIES. A radical reduction in the salaries of the officers of the Grand Fountain has been made and it is announced that the secrecy observed in stating just what each officer receives for his services will be abolished. The Grand Fountain has been so far behind in paying its death claims that it is said that in some cities, Pittsburg being named specifically, undertakers would not accept True Reformer policies in payment for burials. WILL IMPROVE CONDITIONS The new management proposes to improve this condition and efforts are being made to so arrange payments as to win the favor of the many creditors. The report published in these columns last week caused a rush for PLANETS and the office sold out and had to go to press again in order to supply the heavy demand. MORE ABOUT THE BANK. It is unofficially, announced that for the first time in its existence there will be a meeting of the stockholders of the Savings Bank, Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers. It was thought that the board would elect officers and install Mr. W. P. Burrell as president of the institution, but owing to circumstances, the matter was postponed until November 30, 1910. It seems that there will be two candidates put forward by their respective friends. One of them is a very prominent resident of this city. It is not known whether he would accept the honor if it were officially tendered him, but his friends seem to think that he can be induced to accept. Mechanics' Savings Bank Buys More Property. The Mechanics' Savings Bank has recently purchased a lot in Lee District, fronting on the southside of Broad Street and near Allen Avenue. It is about five hundred yards from the Lee monument. It has purchased the property, belonging to the Ahern estate on the northeast corner of Third and Leigh Streets. Free Dispensary. Free Dispensary University College of Medicine, Clay and Twelfth Streets, is now open for patients from 11 to 1 o'clock every day. E. S. MORRIS ELECTED Grand Master of Colored Odd Fellows at Final Session. The final contest between the administration and insurgent forces of the bi-ennial movable committee of the Colored Odd Fellows' convention occurred during the closing session which began at 12:30 o'clock Friday afternoon and continued without interruption until nearly 10 o'clock yesterday morning. The administration forces won an overwhelming victory over the opposition by electing E. S. Morris as grand master, and the remainder of the ticket. The session began at 12:30 o'clock Friday with an argument concerning the admission of the minutes, which resulted in a victory for the administration. The announcement that followed a short while later that the insurgents had retaliated for their alleged grievances by securing an injunction requiring them to postone the election until the committee on credentials had reported and the roll called if demanded by five delegates created excitement. Naturally this was demanded Friday night by the insurgents, and the calling of the roll of 1,500 delegates, each of whom voted on the candidates individually, meant hard work on all concerned and an all-night session. The administration forces were especially bitter in their criticism of those responsible for the issuance of the restraining order, and they were joined in their criticism by some of the insurgents. It was pointed out that rules had been adopted early in the day, the provisions of which were similar to the demands of the injunction. Things got to fever heat Friday night when Rev. Dr. St. Decker Johnson, one of the secretaries, declared it was beyond reason and human endurance to keep men in continuous session because of the differences among aspirants for office, and many of the delegates jumped to their feet to speak in the same strain. City Councilman, Harry S. Cummings finally quieted the delegates by explaining the provisions of the injunction, and then the calling of the roll began. Rev. E. P. Jones, the defeated candidate for grand master, took his defeat in good grace. The list of officers elected follows: E. S. Morris, Chicago, grand master; Henry Lincoln Johnson, Atlanta, deputy grand master; Julius C. Johnson, this city, grand treasurer; James F. Needham, Philadelphia, grand secretary; W. David Brown, George W. Ayres, Ohio; George Noel, West Virginia; C. A. Houze, Alabama; G. A. Shehey, Florida, grand directors and W. W. Lawrence, North Carolina; T. P. Turner, Tennessee, L. N. Porter, Arkansas, grand auditors. The new grand master is about 50 years of age. He is said to be one of the most successful colored lawyers in the country and has served as a member of the Illinois legislature. The retiring grand master, W. L. Houston, is associated with him in the practice of law. The next session will be held at Atlanta, Ga. Yesterday's session was the final one.—Baltimore Sun, September 18, 1910. NEGRO ODD FELLOWS IN COURT Maryland Members Say They Were "Frozen Out" in Elections. Trouble among the colored Odd Fellows, now in convention here, culminated yesterday in a suit in Circuit Court No. 2 against the grand officers and directors of the order, who are charged with having taken unlawful and arbitrary possession of the convention and "freezing out" many of those legally entitled to participate in the proceedings. The suit was brought by Charles W. Pulllett, Robert E. Ford, Noah W. Moore and Horace Townsend, who say they are Maryland members of the order, against Grand Master Wm. L. Houston, Deputy Grand Master L. M. Porter, Grand Secretary James F. Needham, Grand Treasurer, B. J. Davis and Grand Directors S. P. Woodland, A. T. Shirley, George H. Mays, Julius C. Johnson and W. W. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1910. Lawrence. Suit was instituted through Attorneys S. Johnson Poe and Marbury & Gosnell. All the complainants, the bill states are members of the fifteenth biannual movable committee of the order, which is authorized to elect officers and direct the affairs of the order. It is alleged that the defendants have conspired to unlawfully retain control of the funds, property and offices of the order. Through the agency of the police, it is alleged, who naturally acted under the direction of those in charge of the convention, large numbers of members have been excluded from the meetings, and large numbers of non-members admitted. The defendants are charged with conducting the proceedings contrary to the rules of the order and with declining to permit roll calls or division when called for. The court is asked to declare null and void the election of Charles S. Smith and W. D. Johnson as temporary secretaries and H. P. Slaughter as editor and manager of the Odd Fellows' Journal and printing plant, to compel the defendants to proceed according to the rules of the order and to prohibit them from excluding members of the order from the meetings. The injunction asked for was granted by Judge Stockbridge upon the filing of a bond for $1 000—Baltimore, Md. Sun, September 17, 1910 GRAND HOUSEHOLD OF RUTH IN SESSION Unlike Theif Brothers They are Holding a Quiet and Peaceful Meeting and Harmony Reigns—Old Officers Re-elected. In striking contrast to the turbulent scenes that have characterized the meeting of the Biennial Movable Committee of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, the Household of Ruth, the female department of the order has conducted its business in a harmonious and fraternal spirit. The sessions are being held in the Sharp Street Methodist Episcopal Church, presided over by the Most Worthy Grand Superior, Mrs. M. A. Parker of the District of Columbia. Considerable routine business has been transacted so that today will witness the conclusion of its business with the election of officers. Mrs. Parker has made an acceptable official and on the conclusion of her annual address was greeted with an enthusiastic offer for re-election by acclamation, which she declined preferring to have the election come up in the regular way. Nearly 500 delegates were seated by the committee on credentials and the various working committees have been busy at work during the week. Propositions, revision of the laws, memorial services in honor of the two deceased officials, Wm. T. Forrester, of Richmond, Va., Grand Treasurer and Mrs. Emma Ruffin, of Massachusetts, Grand Shepherd, will take place today. A memorial to the Bi-ennial Movable Committee, praying that the Household of Ruth be given entire charge of all its financial affairs was presented to that body. The following officers were elected Friday: Most Worthy Grand Superior, Mrs. Mary A. Parker, of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. A. A. Edwards, of New Orleans, La., Worthy Grand Superior; Worthy Grand Recorder, Mrs. B. E. de Toscano, New York. Nearly all of the other officers will be re-elected with the exception of Treasurer, the place becoming vacant by the death of that officer during the year. Greetings were received from Grand Master Houston and the 15th B. M. C., on Friday. Mrs. Mary R. Burkett, corresponding secretary of the local committee has been unintering in her efforts looking after the comforts of the visiting delegates. — The Afro-American Ledger.

"Can Teddy 'Come Back?'" LAMP EXPLOSION Infant and Colored Nurse Die From Effects of Burns; Another Escape As the result of the explosion of an alcohol lamp Friday, morning, September 16th, Henry Vranian, the fourteen-months-old son of Manuel Vranian, 922 East Broad Street and Lassie Webber, the colored nurse in charge or the infant at the time, are dead, and Ethel Vranian, three years old, is seriously, but not fatally burned. The accident occurred shortly before 9 o'clock, when the nurse went into a front room to tell the children it was time to get up. Father and mother were in their store, at 922 East Broad Street. Ethel arose and picked up the child and walked in the other room, where she stood, with the baby in her arms, watching the nurse light the alcohol lamp. How it happened is not known, but there was an explosion, and the burning alcohol was scattered over the room, quantities of it falling on the nurse and children. Ethel staggered away, and the infant fell on the floor. The nurse was covered with flames. She attempted ineffectually to beat out the flames on her own body and on the child. But both were terribly burned, the baby so badly that its body was almost crisp. C. D. Hirschberg and W. C. Angle, firemen, stationed in the Broad Street engine house, heard the agonized cries for help, and rushed to the house. They forced the door open and ran upstairs, where they found the nurse and baby still burning. Mr. and Mrs. Vranian had also heard the cries, and they followed hard on the heels of the firemen. They were heartbroken by the sight. The firemen extinguished the flames in a few seconds, and the city ambulance was called. Dr. Hagan responded. While he worked on the infant, Chauffeur Drake gave help to the nurse, bathing her burns in oil and wrapping her about with bandages. Her clothing was burned from her body, and nearly all the skin had been destroyed. Both patients were removed to the City Hospital, where the baby died at 12:25 o'clock, the nurse dying at 8:10 o'clock last night. Ethel was not dangerously burned and will recover. Damage to the room and furniture was slight, for the firemen arrived in time to prevent the flames from spreading. Announcement The marriage of Mr. Frederick E. Goodman and Miss Florence Evelyn Burke will take place at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James E. Burke, No. 7 Jackson Street, Swansboro, Va., on Thursday evening, September 29th, at 8:30 o'clock. Reception at the above address Sunday, October 2, from 5 to 10 P. M. Friends are invited. No cards Ready for the Roosevelt Band Wagon The Negro Business League in its recent meeting passed a vote pledging ex-President Roosevelt their support for the presidency. This action did not strike the Georgia Baptist man favorably. He has never forgiven Mr. Roosevelt for discharging in dishonor the battalion of the 25th regiment of union soldiers; and the insult to the colored race, given by the president in his attempt to justify his action. Since that time Mr. Roosevelt has made several public speeches, and in them he has put himself in a better light before us. His criticism of the United States Supreme Court has our most cordial endorsement. The indications that a "New National Party" may be organized with Mr. Roosevelt at its head are propituels and as things look now we can see no reason why the colored vote of the whole country should not go in a body to this party. This is specially true in the South and the south is the only section of the country where democratic strength is unquestioned. The democratic party must go against the Negro or die. The republican party of the nation has become so entangled with new issues that it finds itself frequently in need of democratic help in the National Congress and in securing this help it frequently finds it necessary to let the democrats of the South treat the Negro as they please. We all know what this means. A new party with such as Mr. Roosevelt and others, white and colored in the lead would revolutionize the politics the country and the Supreme Court or the country would be obliged to give up the rules of interpretation of law adopted a hundred years ago and bring them into line with this twentieth century civilization which means to give every man an equal chance in life's race, and a "square deal" among his fellow men. If Mr. Roosevelt will head such a party as this we are for him and the party against the world.—Augusta, Ga. Baptist. WANTS. WANTED—Boarders and Lodgers. Nicely furnished -rooms. 825 N.

Broad St., Richmond, Va. Services at Fifth Street Baptist Church Sunday were well attended. Among the ministers present at morning service were: Rev. W. W. Wines, Jr., A. D. Ayers; W. H. Watkins, who is in charge during the absence of Pastor W. F. Graham; and Rev. Dr. J. C. Brown, of Flushing, New York. Rev. Dr. Brown preached morning and night; both sermons were extra good and filled with wholesome instructions. The congregation was thoroughly satisfied and well fed. Dr. Brown is one of the best preachers in our race, and deserves much credit for the success made in the ministry. He left Monday for his home to begin his work at his church after an absence of a month on vacation. May God bless him in his labor and crown his efforts with success, is the wish of the Fifth Street Baptist Church. Rev. Dr. D. Webster Davis will break bread Sunday at communion. Come out on time and commune with the Lord. The choir sang sweet music Sunday suited to the sermons preached by Dr. J. C. Brown. Owing to the absence of the organist, Miss Edmonia Anderson who is away on vacation, Mr. R. H. Fauntleroy played the large pipe organ. He did well and has made much progress along musical lines.

The clubs are preparing for the come rally in October. Rally Club, of which Sister Mary E. Page is president, Sister Madeline Moss, secretary and Sister Annie Coleman, treasurer, has begun its work. Sister Mary E. Page says they will have meetings regularly after this week. Members will be notified at church Sunday the time of its first, meeting. While the Rally Club is not quite as large as some of the clubs, the members are just as true and loyal to duty. In proportion to membership, no club In the church raises more money than this club and Sister Page says she can always rely upon the members doing their duty whenever called upon. Other clubs ma raise more money on account of their larger membership; but none can be more true to the cause of Jesus and the church than the Rally Club. Don't forget communion Sunday. Services commence at 3:30 o'clock. Rev. Dr. D. Webster Davls will officiate. Come out on time. Bands of Calanthe Outing The bands of Calanthe celebrated their anniversary at Fulton Park, August 31, 1910. It has been the custom to have exercises at some church, but owing to the heat of the Summer and desiring to afford pleasure and amusement for the little ones the outing was substituted for usual meeting at the church. The following committee had charge of the arrangements: Mrs. Nannie Parham, Mrs. Mary Allen Crump, Mrs. Virginia Wright, Mrs. C. P. Gwathmey, Miss Marion Steward, Miss M. E. Taylor, Mrs. Alice K. Burrell. The Pythian cadets under command of Captain Roscoe C. Mitchell accompanied the children as is their custom. MRS. SARAH A. STEWARD, Chairman. MRS. ANNA TAYLOR, Manager. Personal Mention. Tate's Cottage, 200 Fifth Avenue, N. W. Roanoke, Va., is a fine place to stop. Rev. W. L. Weatherly, of Coatesville, Pa., returned home last Wednesday after a pleasant stay in our city of about three weeks. Mr. John H. Adams, of the American Syndicate Company, St. Augustine, Florida, was in the city this week and called on us. Mr. J, W. Johnson, well-known as "Millionaire" Johnson is erecting a store on the rear of his property on the corner of Second and Clay Streets. Acting Grand Treasurer Mrs. Cecilia J. Smith has returned from the Grand Household of Ruth Convention at Baltimore. There was peace and harmony among the sisters. Mrs. Lucy C. Scott, of 1224 St. John Street, who has been seriously indisposed, is considerably improved and able to be out again. She spent last week at Hampton, Va. and is much benefited by the trip. Mr. R. B. Porter, of Huntington, W. Va., returned home last Wednesday at 2 o'clock, after a pleasant stay in this city. He attended the Blenennial session of the True Reformers and took in a trip to Danville, Va., where he had a most delightful time visiting friends. Principal Booker T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Institute, who is in Europe at this time, was the guest of Mr. Andrew Carnegie at his home, Skibo Castle, Scotland. All reports are to the effect that Dr. Washington is being literally swamped with attentions from the most important men of the continent. He has been invited, and has accepted the invitation, to speak before the National Liberal Club, London, October 6th. This organization is composed of many of the most important men in London, and particularly of statesmen of one kind and another controlling the destinies of the liberal party. The occasion will be one or extreme moment in the direction of making favorable sentiment for the Negro people. Rev. Caesar Perkins Dead Rev, Cassar Perkins, D. D., one of the best known colored men in the state and known from one end of it to the other as one of the most fearless and determined leaders the race has ever known, died at 112 West Duval Street last Thursday morning. He has been indisposed for a long time. He lived at Buckingham C. H. He was a member of the Virginia legislature for many years. He was District Deputy Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias N. A. S. A. E. A. A. and A. of Buckingham county and was a member of Venus Lodge, No. 46 of Richmond. Mr. Harris Here. Mr. John B. Harris, now of Philadelphia, but formerly of this city, was here attending to business. He was jubilant over the progress of the colored people of this community and the indications are that it will not take much to induce him to return to his old home. John Mitchell a Negro Editor Who Does Things. The opening of the new bank home of the Mechanics' Savings Bank of Richmond, Va., June 27, 1910, was a most conspicuous affair in all of Richmond, Va., the place known at one time as the capital of the confederacy. The fact that this institution is the production of colored men of finance caused a large attendance of the gallant: white gentlemen and the beautiful white ladies who flitted to and fro, gazing upon admiring the magnificence of this remarkable production in the creation of Richmond's strength of money interest managed by colored people. The Hon. Richardardson, mayor, and members of the board of aldermen and common council came up in their automobiles with their chauffeurs to witness the opening of the bank which is one of the most handsome buildings in Richmond, Va., situated on the Northwest corner of Third and Clay. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., president of the bank, is editor of the Richmond PLANET, one of the best known newspapers of this country published in the interest of the colored race. He was the first colored man to be given membership in the American Banker's Association, the greatest financial association in the United States—Galveston City Times. a w¥4) ESTEIVESES. eee CUAPTER XIV, ‘DISCLOSURES, A ofresignation was on its way, but tt would be in November before be beard definitely from the deptrtment.

He, rarely spoke, leaving the burden of the conversation to rest upon his uncle's tongue. "So your royal darkness under mind," said she spoke, "that it was the imminent move-I could make and the safest. Were it known or had it been known this morning that the king of Jugendendheit and the prince regent had entered Dreilberg in disguise and had been lodged in the Stenlockhous there would have been a serious plot in the city. So I had you arrested as snipers. Proactively a closed carriage will convey your uncle to the front, and his uncle will be ended. And when you cross the frontier it would be wise to disperse the troops waiting there for you." Prince Ludwig smiled. "It was only an army of Defense. The duke had nearly 20,000 men at the maneuvers. I have, no desire for war; but, on the other hand, I am always ready for it." "There will never be any war, when we meet," he said. "Impatient at times, but I can always risen his sense of justice. You will, of course, pardon the move I made. There will be no publicity. There will be no newspaper notoriously, for the journalist will know nothing of what has really happened." "For that consideration your excellency has my deepest thanks," replied Prince Ludwig. "I thought it best to let you go without seeing the duke. The meeting between you two might be painful." "There is, however, one favor I should like to ask," said the prince. "Can I grant it?" "Easily. I wish to leave a sum of money in trust to he paid to one Groten Schwarz, who lives in the Krummerweg. She is ambitious to become a singer. Let nothing stand between her and her desires." "Guildled." The heart of the king at the sound of that dear name suddenly expanded and stiffed him. The stiffness went out of his shoulders. "Ah, this little world of ours! The mistakes and futile schemes we make upon it!" The chancellor dallied with his quill pen. "It was a cyclical more of fate that your majesty should see the goose girl drat." "Enough! crud the king vehemently. Let us have no more retrospection, if you please. Moreover, I shall be obliged to you. My son should marry which is to take us to the frontier. The situation has been amicably and satisfactorily explained. I see no reason why we should be detained any longer." "Nor I," added Prince Ludwig. "I am rather weary of these tatters. I should even like a bath." The three of them were immediately attracted by a singular noise in the corridor. The door swung in violently, crashing against the wall and shivering into atoms the Venetian mirror. The king, the prince and the chancellor were instantly upon their feet. The king clutched the back of his chair with a grip of iron. Grechten? Her highness? What was Grechten doing here? The duke came in first, and he waited till the others were inside. Then he shut the door with lesser violence and rushed over to the chancellor. "Fetruck, you villain!" The chancellor stared at the gypsy, at Von Aramberg, at Grumbach. "Herbeck, you black secondfur" cried the duke. "Can you realize how difficult it is not to take you by the throat and strangle you here and now?" "He is mad!" said Herbeck, bracing himself against the desk. "Yes. I am mad, but it is the sane madness of a terribly wronged man. Come here, you gypsy." The duke seized Herbeck's hand and pressed it down fiercely on the desk. "Look at that and tell me if it is not the hand of a Judas!" "That is the hand, highness," said the gyppe without hesitation. The duke sung the hand aside. As he did so something snapped in Herck's brain, though at that instant he was not conscious of it. "It was you - you! It was your hand that wrecked my life! YouAh, is there such villainy? Are such men born and do they live? My wife dead, my own heart broken, Armberg rung and disgraced! And these two children, which is mine? Villain, what happened to say? What was your purpose?" "How many years, thought Herckeb, had he been preparing for this moment? How long had he been stealing his heart against this very scene? Funtie dream! He drew himself together with a supreme effort. He would face this hour as he had always planned to face it. Found out! He looked at his finger, touched it with an impersonal touch, which is possibility. A little longer, he have stopped the wheel of so great a scheme, from it! have practically governed this country for sixteen years. "There have made it prosperous and happy. I have given you a burdensome treasure. I have brought peace, where you would have bought war. To my people God will wintest that I have done my duty as I saw it. One day I fell the victim of a mad dream. And to think that I almost won!" "And I" said Hildegard, her hands clinched and pressed against her bosom. "What have you done to me, who am innocent of any wrong? What have you done to me?" "Kou, my child? I have wronged you greatest of all. The wrong I have done to you is irreparable. Ab, have not my arm hungered for the touch of you, my heart ached for the longing of you? So see you day afterday, always humble before you, always gid to kiss the back of your hand! Have I lived in hell, your highness? turning to the duke. "What am I, and who am I?" whispered Hildegarde, her heart almost ceasing to boot. "I am your father!" The Grand Duke of Ehrenstein behold the chancellor with that phase of saturation which leaves the mind unclouded. What a project! What a mind to conceive it, to perfect it down to so small a detail as a jeweler's mark in the gold of the locket. And a little finger to betray it. In a flash he saw vividly all this man had undergone day by day, unaltered, unhistoric, forgetting nothing, remembering everything but the small item we togatherthow him. Prince Ludwig took to his hat, "Herckeb, you are a great politician." No, prince," replied Herckeb with neatable sadness. "Had I been a great politician I should have succeeded. Ah, grete this to my merit, self never entered into this dream. It was all done for my child." Hildegarde did not move, nor had she moved since the revelation. "Hildegarde," said the duke, "you shall become a king, and you shall be till the end of your days. I will try to right the wrong that has been done to you." "No, your highness," she replied. "There is but one place for me, and that is at my father's side." And resentment ran through her left, and her hand stole down and met his trump. "My father. I forgive you," she said, with quiet dignity. "You forgive me!" The chancellor scolded his cars. "Xeo, father!" Then, recalling all the child hunger in his arms and heart, he swept her to his breast convulsively, and the unloosed tears dropped upon her bright head. "And who am I?" greeted Gretheen. "Brouncer, you say this little goose girl is my daughter?" "I solemnly swear it, highness. Look into her face again carefully." The duke did so, a hand on either check. He scrutinized every contour the color of the eyes, the low, brond brow, the curve of the chin. Out of the past he contended with the mother's beyond any doubt there was a hunting likeness, and he had never noted it before. "But who will prove it to the world?" he cried hopelessly, still holding Gretheen's wondering face between his hands. "I still prove it," said the king. "You! And how?" "I shall marry Gretchen. I shall make her a queen. That will be proof enough." "A fine stroke, nephew; a bold stroke!" Prince Ludwig laid his hand upon the king's shoulder with rare affection. "If you accept her without further proof I, her father, can do no less." And the duke led her over to the king, gravely joining their hands. "Grotchen!" murmured the king. "I do not know how to act like a princess." "I shall teach you." Gretchen laid her head on his breast. She was very tired and much bewildered. The duke paced the length of the cabinet several times. No one interrupted his meditation. Back and forth, one hand hanging to the opposite shoulder, the other folding over his chin. Then he paused with abruptness. "Your majesty," I regret that your father is not alive to accept my apologies for so basely misjudging him. Arnarsberg, noticing that I can do will restore these wasted years. But I offer you the portfolio." "I am only a broken man, your highness—too old." "It is my will." "As for you," said the duke to the gryp, "go, and if you ever step this side of the frontier again you will be lost on land." He stepped away from Grumbach. "I promised to have you shot in the morning. That promise holds. But a train leaves for Paris a little after midnight. My advice is for you not to miss it." "And my father, your highness!" said Hillegarde bravely. "Herock, your estate are con- cised; your name is struck from the circle and military lists. Have you any ready funds?" "A little, your highness." "Enoura, to take your forever out of this part of the world?" "Yes, your highness." "You do not ask to be forgiven, and I like that. You have, perhaps, three bourses to get your things in order. To morrow you will be judged and con- demned. But you, Hillegarde—" "No, your highness, we shall both take the train for Parts. Gretchen, you will be happy." Gretchen ran and funghed himself into Hillegarde's arms, and the two of them wept. Hillegarde pushed Grutch away gently. "Come! father, we have so little things." rivers. he never took (Darmichael long) to make up his mind doubly. He sound skid. Old friend the cabman in the Plate, and they grove) him mind to the cou- mputer. An old friend now named in show. "GRETCHES!" MURMURKED THE KING. his diplomatic career and seal if hermetically. The clerk, however, would go on like Tennyson's brook, forever and forever. Next he went to the residence of his banker in the Konglasse and got together all his available funds. Elven o'clock found Carmichael in his rooms at the Grand hotel, feverishly packing his trunk and ammunition. Farcey he did, and when the pass was on to the remote ends of the world. The train stood waiting in the glorious Bahnhof. The guards patrolled the platform. Presently three men came out of the station door. Two were of officers. The third, Colonel von Wallenstein, was in civilian dress. He was sullen and depressed. Said one of the officers: "And it is the express command of General Dwits that you will be under fire if you are in that explict?" "It is." The colonel got into his compartment and slammed the door in clouds. In the next compartment sat Grumbach. He was smoking his faithful pipe. He was withal content. This was far more satisfactory than standing up before the dring line, and, besides, he had made history in Ehrenstein that night. They would not forget the name of Bremer right away. To America with a clean slate and a respectful conscience—it was more than he had any reasonable right to expect. Teach! He included a sound sleep by this time, and the end of the chapter would never be written for her. What fools these young men a-counting were! War and famine and pest lence—did these not always follow at the heels of women? As the station master's bell rang the door opened and a man jumped in. He tossed his bag into the curer and plumped down in the sent. "Captain!" "You, too!" "Are you going?" "I am weary, of Dreuberg, so I am taking a little vacation." "Oh, for ever so long!" availably. Ha said nothing more. He was full of wisdom. He had an idea. The fleeing chancellor and his daughter were on the train, and he was certain that his friend Carmichael knew it. By the aid of certain small briberies on the train and in Paris Carmichael gathered bit by bit that the destination of the woman he loved was America. But never once did he set eye upon her till she and her father mounted the gangplank to the vaseful to the Atlantic. The same day in Herbeck was pittable. His face had aged twenty years in these sixty odd hours. His clothes, the same he had worn that over memorable night, hung loosely about his gaunt frame, and there was a vacancy in his eyes who was cloquent of mental collapse. Carmichael abided his time. A French newspaper contained a full account of Herbck's coup and his subsequent flight. It also recounted the excitement of the following day, the appearance of Gretchen on the steps of the palace and the great shooting of the people as they accalmed the queen of Jugendheit. The second day out Carmichael's first opportunity came. He discovered Herbck and his daughter Bemil. He watched them unnely, wondering how he might approach without startling her. At last he keyed up his courage. "Good morning, your bigness," he stammered, and inwardly cursed his stupidity. At the sound of his voice she turned, and there was no mistaking the gladness in her eyes. "Mr. Carmichael!" "Yes. I was surprised to learn that you were taking the snow boat as myself." "Dummy he was, she thought. For she had known his every move since the train drew out of Dreiberg. "Father, here is our friend, Herr Carmichael." "Carmichael!" said Herbek slowly. "Ah, yes." Good morning. "He's really comprehended, that his name scaled nothing to the other man's remembrance. "You are returning to America?" she asked. "For good, perhaps. To tell the truth, I run away, deserved my ppt, though technically I have already resigned. But America has been calling me for, some days. You have never been to sea before?" "No; it is all murrevel and strange to me." "Let us walk, my child," said Her beck. "You will excuse me, Mr. Carmi chael' she said. Never more the rides in the fak' morings; never move the beautiful gardens; the mink, the galloping of soldiers who drew their skins whenever they paused her. Never more any of these things. "Can't hurt any assistance!" he said. "Did you make it?" while. Her father was slowly improving, but with this improvement came a tarnish on dark only at night. The night on which the vessel bore into the moist, warm air of the cold stream was full of, moonshine, of smooth, phosphorescent billows. Herbick had gone below. The girl leans over the rail, alone, and lonely. And Carmichal, secing her, could no longer still the desire in his heart. He came up to her. "Bee!" she exclaimed, pointing to the little edible of four feet along the rail. "Do you know what they remind me of? Mermaids fingers grasping and clutching at the hank as it to drive it down below." "I am very unhappy!" "And when you say, that you make me so too." --- "Why?" She had spoken the word at last. "Do you remember the night you dropped your fan?" leaning so closely toward her that his, arm pressed against her. "I remember." "You put that word then. In honor I dared not answer. You were a princess. I was only a soldier of fortune. But now that you are in trouble, now that you have need of me, I may an- swer. I may tell you now why, why I have and future to the winds, why I am hero at your side on night. Need I tell you? Do you not know, and have you not known? Am I cruel to speak to moment of moment of your great affliction? Well, I must be cruel. I love you, faith- fully and loyal, now and here, after, through title and day into happiness, nothing, for you now why, why, why I have thrown ambition and future to the winds. why am here at your side tonight. Need I tell you? Do you not know, and have you not known. Am cruel to speak of love in the moment of your great affliction? Well, I must be cruel. I love you, faithfully and loyalty, now and here after, through this day into happiness. I ask not nothing for this love I offer. I ask only that I may use it in your service, in good times or bad." "Ask what you will," she whispered. "I am happy now!" THE END. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR Industry without judgment can beat a runaway automobile for amakhups. Women, like some of men's other misfortunes, are sometimes a blessing in disguise. What is so fascinating to a girl about a romance is a little sense ever goes with it. It takes a good many years to gain a reputation that you can lose in less than five minutes. Some people are so naturally cranky they want you to have a bad temper so they can abuse you for it. Imagination helps out a lot in an en-engagement, but it seems to go out of commission in matrimony. A woman can make a mystery out of how it rained when the grocer's boy said it was going to be fair. A man with money in his pocket goes into a restaurant and orders terrapin because he likes ham and eggs butter. If a man would wear a lock of his wife's hair over his heart he could stal her jowels and she, would think it was tender sentiment. When a bridegroom begins to estimate what the honeymoon is coating it's a sign the bride had better take him home and look after his coffee and eggs for breakfast. ANViL SPARKS No harvest is roped without hardness. Worry gives the doctor half his work. Wandering minds make small wages. Stolon fruit may be sweet, but there is sorrow in its assimilation. No solid work was ever done by a man looking for a soft place. A change of character accomplishes more than a change of climate. There is no better way of saving your meal than sharing your cake. He gives the world no kindling who always carries a chip on his shoulder. The strange thing is that a man who is satisfied with so little in himself demands so much in others. Parents need to remember that children learn twice as much with their eyes as with their ears. Many men are trying to straighten the universe with fingers that have done nothing else but get things into a tangle—Christian Herald. JUST THOUGHTS A girl without an applique can afford to marry a poet. Even a weak woman may take --- which happiness is due to ability to torget unpleasant things. Every spinster is willing to admit that she had at least one proposal. Before going in for politics a physician should feel the public pulse. Sometimes a deceitful woman pretends to be happy even when she is. Many a man is unable to carry his head high because of the shortness of his legs. Some brands of reform are not popular because of the promoters back of them. There is probably nothing more effective than the attempt of a fussy woman to be disagreeable. A servant girl usually stays until she has a chance to look in the closets and size up the family skeletons. It doesn't necessarily follow that man would rather fight than eat because he marries a cooking school graduate. SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY Men of real genius are so rare that many regard them as either fools or thieves. When you abuse your opposition in a good deal, people know your opposition is making headway. Teach your children to be fair. There is nothing in this world more important than fairness. Probably this expression is used oftener by people than any other: "Everything is blamed on me." The only way to get along with a railroad is to pound hell out of it. Don't be fair with it; that's fatal.—Atchison (Kan.) Globe.

"Miss Uppson," said the lady who was interested in charitable work, "we are getting up a raffle for a poor man who is out of work. Would you like to take a few chances?" "No, thank you," replied the fair maid.

"You are a heartless coquette," he said. "That's where your knowledge has a flaw in it." she replied. "I have the hearts of half a dozen young men in this town."

It is good to have religion; but it is better to practice upright living. It is much easier to see the hole in your neighbor's fence than it is to see the palings that are off in your own front yard. Colored folks should continue to practice economy and above all train their children in politeness. We can win this way. Colored-people should be unusually polite to white people. If they will do this, they will find that the force of habit will make them unusually polite to colored people. It seems to us now to be about time to let up on. Dr. Booker T. Washington and the Now, York meeting of the National Negro Business League. One thing though is certain—as long as that distinguished educator mixes in politics or has any thing to do with things political, mea will revile him and say all manners of evil against him. Mr. J. A. Lankford, the well-known and popular architect, has accepted the appointment as Professor of Drawing and Mechanical Engineering at Wilborforce University at Wilborforce, Ohio. The institution made no mistake in its choice and we wish the well-known Washingtonian success in his new field of labor. Bishop C. & Smith announces that the leaders of the A. M. E. Church have undertaken the task and will make a memorial offering of twenty-five thousand dollars in cash to the educational institutions of the church. This is a large undertaking and the amount is expected to be counted October 5, 1910. Nineteen thousand dollars are already in hand. We promise that Morris Brown College of Altaus, Ga. will get the money. The white folks in this state said that if they got rid of the Negroes as voters, there would be no excuse for fraud in elections and that honour in all things political would be the logical outcome. Well, they deceived the white folks and got what they wanted. Now the crooks, having no Negroes to rob are now trying their hands on the white folks with such success that both sides are charging the other with all kinds of unlawful actions. In the meantime, the colored folks are sitting back laughing, while the white folks are causing each other and fighting and persepring over the operation. MR. BRYAN BOLTS. Hon. William J.

This is information that will cause the politicians of all parties "to sit up and take notice." Here is the leading Democratic statesman in all of this land after having been whipped out in a political contest in his own state announcing that he will not stand by the decision of his own party associates. The question arises as to why he should expect radical members on the other side to support him when he wins in contests before the people. We cannot help believing that Col. Theodore Roosevelt will adopt a similar policy and announce a similar position, should the Republican convention in New York state select a candidate not to his liking. It shows that this is the beginning of the breaking up of political parties. Col. Roosevelt and Col. Bryan should form a party of their own. With the exception of both dearing absolute political leadership, there is but little difference in their exposition of political ideas on the stump. AS WE SEE IT. We have received a cloth-bound volume, entitled, "As We See It." Its author is Mr. Robert Lewis Warling, of Washington, D. C. Mr. Warling says: This work is intended to reveal two sides of Southern life, which are often overlooked or deliberately misstated by newspaper and magazine writers. First, in this story we picture that class of Negroes who are doing something, whose lives, homes and successes are the same as those of other men, and who, starting from nothern states, are in the aggregate more than two hundred and fifty million dollars worth of property. These people compose that class of American citizens whom the calamity howlers are careful to keep in the black ground, and whom the Southern press persist in misrepresentation to the point of malicious living. Second, we aim to represent in their true character another class, lower, both morally and mentally, than the Negro. These people, the Negroes. These people, the Negroes. And out of families closely connected, first cousin to first cousin, great uncle to niece, stop-brother to stop-sister, brother to brother's wife, father to stop-daughter, adult men to thirteen year old girls, etc. These people, the Negroes, the Negroes more certainly than the newly discovered hook-worm. He says further: These people, the "crackers" of the South, who today hold that section in political thirddim, and whose uplift, through education or the infusion of live blood, is the only possible means left the white people of the South by which they can hope to keep ahead of the progressive Negro, present the true problem of the South. He speaks truly too when he says: So long as the discriminatory laws remain in force in the South, just so long will the Negroes, as a whole, continue to outstrip the whites, as a whole. This is interesting reading. Mr. Waring adds: In a few more generations, the Negro will be a man, thoroughly trained, a true American, ready and willing, as he has ever been, to fight and to die for the flag that now protects him—Not. This book is a story, a romance which is intertwining from the title page to the last leaf. It will richly repay a perusal. The price is $1.50 and may be obtained by addressing the author of 609 F Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. THE TROUBLE IN THE COUNTRYS. The political outlook in the country changes so rapidly that it takes a person of remarkable vision and great power to keep up with it. Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt formally entered the field of politics and is again the central figure in the agitation now embarrassing the people of this country. He is in "life and death" struggle in his own state. In his fight for political supremacy and the result is not at all satisfactory to him. He is not willing blue in the large magnets that his bird hoped to expect, and even should he control the machinery of the convention, it is an open question as to whether he will be able to dictate absolutely the policy of the convention. His spectacular visit to President Taft at New Haven is significant and from the information given out, it seems that President Taft has passionately violated his pledge not to interfere in the politics of New York state. There are thousands of Republicans who are opposed to the boshes and also to President Roosevelt and as they must accept one or the other they are "in a strait 'twit two'". As far as we are able to observe, Col. Roosevelt's present aim is to capture the political machinery of the Republican Party and control it just as Hon. William J. Bryan captured the machinery of the Democratic Party and controlled it. He would then be able to dictate a platform that would be as radically socialistic and populistic as any that Mr. Bryan ever put forth. This will lead to a third presidential ticket in the field unless the Democrats show wisdom and nominate either William J. Gaynor, of New York for president or Gov. Harmon of Ohio. Either of these gentlemen would poll a large percentage of the conservative vote as represented by the business elements and a large per cent. of the colored vote as represented by the Independent Political League. There is no question but what the endorsement by the National Negro Business League, as tendered to Col. Theodore Roosevelt will go a long way towards corraling a large colored following for the distinguished stateman and his party. It is owlent to the most casual observer that If Col. Roosevelt cannot succeed inside of the Republican Party, he will lead a revolting element on the outside of the Republican Party and thereby defeat the organization with match made in white. when he is uninhibited. In the meantime, President William I. H. Taft's predicament is humiliating and embarrassing. He is condemning one faction to day and petting it tomorrow just according to the apparent advantage the one or the other seems to have at the polls. The defeat of Vice-President Sherman in his home district by the Roosevelt forces and a similar condition obtaining in the district of Mr. William Barnes, Jr. will tend to give an advantage to the cohorts of Col. Roosevelt. Regardless of what the result may be, it seems that colored men should realize fully "that it is none of their funeral." They are at liberty to support Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. Taft or Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft or the "Old Guard" Republicans, or the Democratic Party. There is no longer any approbrium associated with either course. The issues are commercial and economic with all of them being "again the Negro". The danger to the country is in the close vote between the contending factions. A revolution is at hand. One day, Mr. Taft is with Col. Roosevelt and another day his followers are against him. Mr. Roosevelt may be a candidate for the presidency again. He will not say now that he will not be and this creates a feeling of uncertainty. There are tens of thousands of anti-Taft men who will support Mr. Taft in order to dispel the shadow of Roosevelt in the "White House. President Taft seems to be sure of but one thing and that is that he will stand for rejection if he can be nominated. Will a Roosevelt Republican Convention nominate him? This is the question. Sonator Cummings of Iowa is an outspoken advocate of progressive ideas and man of his kind and calibre will accept Roosevelt, and will not come within speaking distance of President Taft. A magazine writer has already declared that the failure of the Taft administration is known of all men. Is this the opportunity for which Col. Roosevort prayed? It would soon so. --- PECULIAR DISCRIMINATION. It seems to us that the daily press of the city should revise its policy, if not towards the colored people of this community then towards the white ones of the same locality. There is not a single daily newspaper that will knowingly apply the designation "Mise" or "Mrs." towards a colored female. It matters not if the woman in question is as chaste as ice or as rich as Greens. We presume that it is the result of race prejudice. This is not true though of the better class of white people who seem to recognize worth and ability among colored people, just as they recognize the same qualities in white ones. One of the most flagrant abuses of this is to be seen in the report of the threeway at substation 12, corner of. First and Broad Streets. The Richmond, Va. New-Leader of the 20th inst. days: Gab-postal stallion No. 12, 101 East. Broad. Breest, is upwards of 5,000 aboard in its accounts, and Miss Rena. B. Ankew, the 23-year-old cashier, is accused of misappropri- ation; she now owns the stallion, who government Mike takes after with her parents at 105 North Twenty-ninth Street. She has occupied her position as carer at the substation a long time. Her alleged colleagues were first discovered last Thursday, when Position Inspector C. H. Saffell went to work checking, up the vouchers of the office. In a short while the inspector discovered the shortage to be more than $1,900. An extra $100 was found today to be missing. The young woman is very highly connected and has relaunched her job with the company she is said to number among her unders a millionaire. While Mr. Childrey is bonded only in the sum of $2,000, he has signified his desire to make the entire shortage good to the government. The substation was operated in his drug store, and it was reported today by inspector Mellat that the substation is fully operational and money orders equal to that of the entire city of Petersburg. The matter of the $2,000 shortage was brought to the attention of Assistant United States District Attorney Robert H. Talley at once and the government was about to take action in the case. It is reported however, that relatives of the young woman逸ed a willingness to make good the shortage should there be no court proceedings, and that the matter of prosecution had not been finally determined upon. It was known that Miss Askew has relatives living in North Carolina and that she has others living in Belfast and in New York. Lawyer Lucy Cary is handling the case for Mr. Childroy. Now here is a case where the party concerned is confessed guilty and yet the Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch in its issue of the 22d that proceeds along the same line and in the same strain. The female is still Miss Askew, a designation that no colored woman in this city can get in the columns of that journal. Even Mrs. Maggie L. Walker is designated as "Maggie L. Walker, a well-known colored woman." The Richmond. Ma. Times,Dispatch of the 22d Inst. has this to say: Owing to his youth and the unwillingness of the victimized firm to prosecute, Justice Crutchfield yesterday morning dismissed Oscar Lumpkin, the nineteen-year-old youth charged with having broken into the drug store of Tarrant, Grant & Company and stolen therefrom $10,000. He was also accused of murdered Henry Brooks at the Cine, and on his own admission, did guard duty while his accomplices did the actual robbery. Lumpkin and Brooks were arrested in Washington on a charge of highway robbery and Brooks, it is said informed the Washington police that his companion was wanted in Richmond. He was brought back to the police (8 charges) contended his part in the Richmond drug store burglary. Justice Crutchfield, in dismissing the case, gave the youth a kindly warning, and told him to go and sit no more. He admonished him to mend his mode of living, and, above all things, to lead an honest life. Tarrant, Grant & Company were not represented in court and Lumpkin was discharged from further custody. The above extract speaks for it self. This is lenency shown a white burglar. It may be deserved, but it seems to us that these citations should tend to cause those occupying positions of power and responsibility to deal charitably with a weaker race and to accord to the deserving members even more recognition and encouragement along the lines indicated than they have done in the past. There is no question of politics in all of this, for Republican federal officials went blind in the Askew case and a Democratic city official went the same way in the Lumpkin case. Wilkes-Barre 'Lawyer Expired in Edifice He Went to Inquest. Thomas J. Chase, a lawyer of Wilkes-Barre; Pa., was found dead in a paw at the Universalall church. He had been missing all night, and evidently had gone into the church, of which he was a trustee, to inspect some repair work, and fell dead. Heart disease was probably the cause. Infantile Paralvals Spreads. The case of little Howard Bradshaw, Jr., of Cambridge, Md, who was recently stricken with infantile paralysis, is attracting much attention among the physicians all over the lower peninsula. Two more cases have developed in the vicinity of the Bradshaw home, and residents of that section of the city are becoming more and more alarmed over the conditions.

The negro who was shot and killed near the Norfolk and Western Station shortly after midnight, after having robbed a commissary car, has not yet been identified. And probably well with his companions in the robbery were ardently members of a group of railroad thieves, operating at different points, and were strangers in the city. The body was viewed by a number of people in the baggage room of the station last night, and by many more today at Wilkerson's undertaking rooms, but to all of them he was a stranger. The commissary car in the Norfolk and Western yards, in the room of the company, and in robbed of a quantity of supplies on Sunday night. It was again visited and robbed early last night, when, auspicious that the thieves would again return, a watch was set for them. C. F. Shell, an employee of the company, was assigned to this duty, and he concealed himself in the cab of a nearby locomotive for the purpose. It was shortly after midnight when Mr. Shell nodded the message to the door and saw them stop at the door. He hailed them, and as they ran, trod three shots after them. Two of the negroes escaped by flight across the bridge into Chesterfield. The third run up Second Street, pursued by a number of people, who had been attracted by the biring of Mr. Shell's pistol. The feeling negro's in the room of the Strontford Hotel, with the pursurers close behind and shooting to stop him. As the negro reached the railroad track at the east end of the alloy he fell dead from the shot of one of the pursuers. The body was taken to the baggage room of the station and subsequently removed to the undertaker's rooms. On the body of the negro were found a suit of clothes stolen from the commissary car, and in the pockets were found the keys and a quiver. It was held on the body this evening and a vordert in accordance with the above facts was rendered. It could not be established by whom the fatal shot was fired. SEABOARD CARS ROBBED. Three cars on the Seaboard Air Line tracks, in the extreme western portion of the city were broken into and robbed late last night and four young white men, all residents of the city, and appalled by their crimes. Their names are Malle Burnett, Ernest Tysa, Charles Warron and John Wheelhouse. Police Officer Goodwyn, in traveling, his beent in that section late last night, having been informed that the seals of these cars had been broken, he said. He also recalled the returns of the supposed thieves. Some time after midnight he saw the men above named enter the cars and shot several times after them, as they refused to halt and fled. The officer identified the men, and they were found in onsthouses on the primes of Wholehouse and Warrenton a quantity of candy) cakes and chipped beef that had been taken from the cars. Wholehouse, it is said, confessed and implicated the others. In the Police Court on Thursday. A NORFOLK AND WESTERN ROBER BERY CLEARED UP.

If anything could, disguare the airlifted apsetie of aerospaces, Count Zeppelin, it would appear to have been furnished when the Zeppelin Vi, the latest model of his airship invention, was torn by the motion of the aircraft located in the stern condens, near Baden-Baden, Germany. Three of the airlift's crew were seriously injured. The accident happened as the dirigible was being slowly worked into fire. The defective motor had been operating as usual, when suddenly the crew were whirled from their posts in the rear gondola as the craft is tilted and lurched. There was a sharp report, a flame of flames, and in a moment the limestone fabric of the airship rapidly realizing what had happened. Fumbled over the sides of the airship, barely escaping with their lives. The fire spread so rapidly that the shad was soon destroyed. Man and Wife Hold an Polemoner Charged by an information from Connecticut with poisoning a whole dinner party at Darton with arsenic. Pierre-Hortier, twenty-five years of age, a French bishop, and his wife Honorine, were arrested in New York city by Detective Brown, from police headquarters, and William H. Brennan, chief of police of Stamford, Conn. Pierro and his wife were engaged at an employment agency in this city by William L. Soarles, who is a retired wool moulcher. The butter, according to Chief Brennan's story, was found to be unsatisfactory, and Mrs. Soarles discharged him on the morning of Sept. 6. Honoring his mother, the dinner, decided to go with her husband, and the two returned to this city. That night Ida Pinnow, the Soarles cook, made biscuits for a dinner party at which there were seven people. Immediately after the dinner all the party were violently ill. Doctors were called in and said that the diners were suffering from arsenic poisoning. After hericrine treatment every one recovered. One of this wholesale sickness ended when there was discovered in the flour barrel from which the flour the went into the biscuits had been taken a liberals sprinkling of a powder that contained arsenic. 2.185.283 People in Chicago.

LEWIS NAMED FOR GOVERNOR Chosen by New Jersey Republicans to Oppose Wilson. PLATFORM COMMENDS TARIFF Rate Making Plank Was Forced In by insurgents and the Nominees—Taft Administration Endorsed. Vivian M. Lewis, of Paterson, commissioner of banking and insurance of New Jersey, was nominated for governor at the Republican state convention, which met at Treaton. Mr. Lewis received four-fifths of the total vote cast on the first ballot, and when the roll call was completed the counties which had already done so hurried to make the nomination unanimous. The platform as adopted declared for a public utility commission, with power to fix rates, and for election and primary laws making the will of the people sure and easily carried into effect. Other things in the platform included an endorsement of the Taft administration; the record of the last congresses; commendation of the tariff and of the appointment of a permanent tariff board; an endorsement of Governor Fort and the legislation passed during his term; the conservation policy of the president and the extension of its principles to the state; an employer's liability law placing upon industry the burden of accidents; civil service; states' scheme of public highways and inland waterways; the expenditure of motives received from automobilists on public roads, and the enactment of just legislation to automobilists and taxpayers, calculated to promote reciprocal relations with other states. Was a Lively Convention. Notwithstanding the smoothness with which Mr. Lewis' nomination was accomplished, the convention was one of the five-level "Republican" state assemblages seen for a good white. The committee on resolutions conceived the rate-making plank of the platform to the inaugural element of the party, who demanded the advocacy of the proposition that authority be given to the public utility commission to supervise transportation rates in New Jersey. Died of their leaders also presented a minority report to the convention, embodying other "new ideas," planks, but these were rejected. The adoption of the rat-making plank was regarded as a signal victory for Mr. Lewis, who objected to the public utility plank drafted by United States Senator Klan, Congressman Carderius, and State Senator Wakelaw and which was supported by former Attorney General Thomas N. McCarran, who is a Republican leader and at the same time president of the Public Service Corporation. leaders is convinced that the sentimental annuity voters in the state is strong for a greater supervision of the corporations of the state, and an informed the organization. He is said to fear that he cannot be elected over Dr. Woodrow Wilson, president of Princeton university, and the gubernatorial candidate for the Democratic party, unless his party takes advanced ground on the subject of a more stringent control of corporations by the state. GREAT LABOR WAR FEARED IN ENGLAND The industrial situation throughout England is daily growing worse. Prolonged stoppages, in separate trades have been numerous before today, but the present crisis involves at the same moment three great industries of the nation: Coal, cotton and shipbuilding stand in the first rank of importance by reason both of the numbers of work people; dependent upon them and the value of their product. The relations between employers and employed have become definitely hostile, and in each case the cause is similar. Small sections of working men have defied the agreements entered into by the trade as a whole, and their recusancy threats to paralyze the entire industry. The Morning Post, which is thor- oughly alarmed, says that the serious unrest in the ranks of labor has brought the country to the brink of a disaster difficult to parallel in indus- trial history. STRIKES GAS AT JOHNSTOWN Well Drilled in His Back Yard Gives Forth a Steady Flow. While drilling for water on his property at Johnstown, Pa., Gustar Kandler struck gas. The flow was with considerable pressure and continue strong. Kandler had sunk his well to a depth of forty foot, when he encountered solid rock. After setting off a blast of powder he attempted to enter the well, but soon discovered the presence of gas. He threw a lighted paper into the well and the gas ignited. So far as is known it is the only gas well ever opened in this section of the state. Boulder Falls on Miners Two miners were seriously injured at the Davis colliery, Pottsville, Pa. by the very means which they were taking as a precaution to save them from accidents. The men were trying to pry down a loose overhead boulder which hung in the roof of their breast when the big rock suddenly fell with out warning and crushed them. Sherman's Brother a Democrat.

BIG STEEL CUT IN PITTSBURG REPORTED The very prevalent talk of a reduction in prices has caused buyers of omnipresent steel to withdraw from the market in Pittsburgh, Pc., and now it is reported that a wide open cut in prices is likely to occur before the end of the week. The independents are unquestionably getting the larger proportion of the new business, and the inflow of new orders, while better than August is nevertheless disappointing. Last week's hopeful spirit in the trade has largely disappeared, and the blame is placed on politics. Taft's Attitude on Second Term. Taft's attitude toward a second term is substantially this: He isn't actively seeking a second term. He is devoting himself solely to the duties of his office and to the redemption of the bledges made in the Republican national platform. He has found the duties by his office enacting, if not trying, but he hasn't said, as has been reported that he was willing to stop sales in 1921; in that contrary, the president will respond to a call for a second term if he is satisfied, that his friends and the country want him. He has not, thought of deserting his friends. This is substantially the attitude that President Taft cultivated for his supporters before he left Washington, and his mind has not changed. The president himself deolicated to comment on the reports that have been published of his willingness to stand sales, that his attitude in all will have HOW GAYNOR FELT WHEN SHOT Mayor's Own Story of His Sensations and Thoughts. He Was Not Surprised When He Realized He Was Shot, as He Had Expected to Be Assaulted—Scores Yellow Papers. Mayor William J. Gaynor, in a letter to his sister, Miss Mary E. Gaynor, of Utica, N. Y., which is printed in the New York Evening Post, tells in an interesting manner of his impressions at the time he was shot on the staircase Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse. The mayor says that he has not read a line of what has been published of the shooting, nor does he now remember the name of the man who shot him. Going over the incident of the shooting, Mayor Gaynor wrote: "I was standing on the deck talking with Commissionors Thompson, Lederer, Edwards, the corporation counsel, Mr. Watson; my secretary Robert Adamson, and several friends, who had come aboard to see me off. Mr. Montt, president of Chile, and Mrs. Montt had just passed by, and I had spoken a few words with them Mr. Adamson pointed out that the ship was dressed with flags for me, but I said I did not think it could be for me. "My next consciousness was of a terrible metallic roar in my head. It filled my head, which seemed as though it would burst open. It swelled to the highest pitch, and then fell, and then rose again, and so alternated until it subsided into a continuous buzz. It was sickening, but my stomach did not give way. I was meanwhile entirely sightless. "I do not think I fell, for when I became conscious I was on my feet," I suppose they saved me from falling and they wore supporting me. My sight returned; so that after a white I could see the deck and the outlines of the crowd around me. I became conscious that I was choking. Blood was coming from my mouth, and I tried all I could to swallow it so those around me would not see it... "But I found I could not swallow, and then I knew my throat was hurt. It seemed as though I was dislocated. I struggled to breathe through my mouth, but could not, and thought I was dying of strangulation. I kept thinking all the time the best thing to do. Near to the Infinite. "I was not a bit afraid to die if that was God's will of me. I said to myself, Just as well now as a few years from now. No one who contemplates the immensity of Almighty God and of his universe and his works, and realizes what an atom he is in it all, can fear to die in this flesh, yes, even though it were true that he is to be dissolved forever into the infinity of matter substance and mind from which he came Mayor Gaynor in the letter scored certain newspapers for the manner in which they had attacked him, saying: "Such journalism is, of course, in absolute defiance of the criminal law, and it did enter my mind to publicly call on the grand jury and the district attorney to protect me from it, but I was weak and feared people would say I was thin-skinned. But the time is at hand when these journalistic scourds have got to stop or get out, and I am ready now to do my share to that end. They are absolutely without souls. "If decent people would refuse to look at such newspapers the thing would right itself at once: The journalism of New York city has been dragged to the lowest depths of degradation. The greatest rallies and libels, instead of honest statements and fair discussion, have gone on unchecked." Hunter Shot For Deer. An unidentified hunter was shot and instantly killed in Childwood park thirty miles distant from Sarnacn Lake, N. Y., while he was hunting in the donae forest. He was mistaken for a door by members of a party whose names are not known here. The victim had the back of his head blow away by a bullet from a high powered rifle. Other hunters are bringing the body out of the woods. First Football Accident The first football accident of the season of 1910 occurred at Martin's Ferry, Ohio, four miles from Wheeling, W. Va., when Joe Kochrison, fourteen years old, practiced with the Martin's Ferry high school team, resolved a broken collabortion in a skirmish. The new rules were being mustered by the boys when the accident occurred. Accused of Slaying Workman.

"Man Higher Up" In Sugar Scandal Sent to Jail. THE BROOKLYN MAIL Charles R. H. Helke, the former secretary and treasurer of the American Sugar Refining company, who has been called "the man higher up" in the sugar trust underguild scandals in New York, was sentenced by Judge Martin in the United States circuit court to serve eight months in the New York pontitontary on Blackwell's island and pay a fine of $5000 on conviction of conspiring to defraud the United States. Helke's sentence is the culminating point in the federal government's prosecution of American Sugar Refining company officials and employee growing out of the ostensive underweighing frauds on the Williamsburg docks of the trust, brought to light by Richard Parr's famous raid on the docks in 1907. Mob Attacks Negro Barber. James Yeliot, a colored barber of Wrightsland, near York, Pa., was attacked by a mob of several hundred persons, who made a strenuous effort to lynch him because he had sent a Black Hand Letter to Miss Helen Detweller, daughter of Mr. and Mra. B. F. Detweller, prominent residents of the borough. The man was slightly injured by the mob, but he was finally lodged in the borough lockup by Constables Wilson and McCauley, who had to fight their way to the prison. In his letter, to Miss Detweller, the man, after stating that he was in love with her, demanded that she place $25 at a certain place on the Detweller farm or forfeit her life. Miss Detweller, as well as her parents, were greatly alarmed and decided that they would do as the letter requested. Going to the place designated in the letter, Mr. Dewoller and his daughter were in the act of depositing the money when they saw a colored man standing in a corn field watching their actions. Dewoller started after the man, but he was too fleet of foot and escaped. Miss Dewoller recognizes the colored man as Teelts, and a war ranh was sworn out for his arrest. News of the man's threats spread like wild fire, and when the custables took him into custody a crowd collect, ed and there were cries of "Lynch him," "Kill him," "Give him justice now." Some throw stones at him, several of whom struck their mark. The borough residents; it is feared may attempt to take him from the officers when they bring him to the county jail.

Mike Polindexter, of Spokane, an insurgent leader in the present house, was nominated for United States senator by 40,000 plurality, carrying every county in the state. Two insurgents were nominated for congress, with possibilities of a third. The balloting shows that a concentration of the regulators would not have won. Nearly all the candidates for the legislature are pledged to vote for the senatorial candidate receiving the highest vote, and there can be no fight over the election of Polindexter, it is said. Pearls Grow on Trees. Pearls are growing on coconut trees in the Malay peninsula, according to a report by Consul General Durolis. The pearls are said to be not unlike those of the oyster, containing calcium carbonate and a little organite matter. Certain concretions form just beneath the stam of the coconut shell and the result is a pure white pearl which brings a high price. Dental Gold Bakes a Foot. While he was melting pure gold in his dental laboratory at Altoona, Pa., Dr. Guy S. Tippery was burned in a peculiar manner. A thimbleful of the molten metal dropped off the ladie and over the top of his shoe. Before he could car his footwear off the gold had baked the flesh to the ankle bone leaving the doctor unable to walk. Will Meet In Richmond Next Year. The Atlantic Deeper Waterways association accepted the invitation of the southern delegates to hold next year's convention in Richmond, Va. Jersey Democrat Name Wilson. President Woodrow Wilson, or Princeton university, was nominated for governor by the Democrats of New Jersey in their state convention held at Trenton. Dr. Wilson won handily on the first ballot, with a vote of 749% 411% more than he needed. Frank S. Katzonbach, of Trenton, who ran against Governor Fort two years ago, received 372 votes. He had some support, as did Mr. Wilson, in all the counties. Senator George S. Siller ran third, with 210 votes. Mayor Otto H. Wittpenn, of Jersey City, got 76% votes, 74% of which slipped from Loader Bob Davis' grip in the Hudson county delegation. Immediately after the result had been announced there were a dozen motions to make the nomination unanimous, the backers of the defeated candidates joining lustily in the hurry. Girl Accusea Preacher. Rev. J. H. Arnold, forty years old, a Holiness preacher, was arrested at Pulaski, Va., charged with criminal assault upon Lizzie Collins, a fourteen-year-old girl, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Collins. Arnold and his wife were on the train on their way to Radfor. The train stopped not far from Pulaski and the little girl got away and ran back to Pulaski, where she told the chief of police the story of a vicious assault. Upon discovering that she had escaped, Arnold loft the train and went back after her. Whon he appeared he was arrested. Flores, Mounds BOSS. Office Hours: S A.M. to C P.M. DR. P. B.

During his stay on earth his time is spent in one continuous round of countries and misunderstandings by the balance of the speeches. In his infancy he is an angel; in his boyhood he is a devil; in his manhood he is everything from a lizard up; in his dotage he is a fool. If he raises a family he is a chump; if he raises a small check he is a thief and the law raises the devil with him. If he is a poor man he is a poor manager; if he is rich, he is dishonest. If he is in politics he is a grafter; if he is out of politics you can't place him and he is an undesirable citizen. If he is in church he is a hypocrite; if he is out of church he is a sinner and is damned. If he donates to foreign missions, he does it for show; if he does not, he is stingy. When he first came into the world everybody wanted to kiss him; before he goes they all want to kick him. If he dies young there was a great future before him; if he lives to a ripe old age he is simply living to save funeral expenses. Life is a funny road, but we all like to travel it just the same—Miss Alice Donahue. NUTS TO CRACK Fine feathers at least make fine beds. Even with a square deal some of us are bound to get poor hands. Many a girl who refuses to stay single also refuses to stay married. There is no fool like the peacemaker who interferes between husband and wife. A man is apt to set a pace in his letters that he is never able to follow. A business man's leisure is simply the time he doesn't know what to do with. The minute a man begins to try to save money his friends call him a tightwad. If there is plenty of room at the top, why do people who get there continue to fall off? Nothing short of a surgical operation would take the conceit-out of some people. Just because a man doesn't want to be a knocker is no reason why he should be some other fellow's anvil. A girl is never really in love until she thinks more about a certain man than she does about her dressmaker. TO TRY ON YOUR FRIENDS Coarse hair, a coarse mind. A pouting lip means timidity. An open mouth an empty head. Delicate features, a refined mind. A dry eye depotes a hard heart. Full checks show a good digestion. Full temples means mathematical gifts. A pointed nose means a meddlesome disposition. Bumps on the forehead mean great intelligence. Thick, curly hair means great physical strength. Compressed lips prove secretiveness and acquaintiveness. A dimpled chin is pretty, but suggests feeble intellect. A broad face is a proof of self- assurance and obstinacy. Thick syolids, covering half the pupils, denote great artistic powers. Because a woman is short on pincushy doesn't mean that she will be short on long hat pins. You can't tell by the way a man treats his books how he could treat a book agent. When a young man doesn't know what to say he is apt to say what he afterward knows he should not have said. A plight fraud is sin's best friend. Pain is often but the dress of pleasure. The doors to heaven are in retired places of helpfulness. My lore of God is wrong unless it makes him more lovely to others. When a man's religion is on his sleeve it is usually part of his cloak. Nothing will help you more than helping a man when you do not want to. Saintliness and sanity are both a happy balance between self and society. Too many of our ideas on duties are sadly mixed with notions on revenue. It is easy to love truth ardently when its edge is toward your adversary. If you cannot sometimes forget to count yourself you will never be worth counting. Too many are praying for a harvest of love who have planted no seeds of kindness. This world would be a good deal more healthy if we might quarantine the grumblers. The preacher who would guide to the ideal life must live in the heart of our real life. It is good evidence you have only half a truth when you think you have a monopoly of all. The greatest difficulty in winning the esteem of others lies in our foolish estimates of ourselves. The most uncomfortable people in this world are those who are anxious only for comfort.-Chicago Tribune. ALL SORTS The crumpled horn is one that leaves a headache. The lamb that plays around a mint bed tempts fate. "There's no place like hum," remarked the aplarist. Stray lambs that gambol in wheat rock not of futures. Every good plowman follows the straight and narrow path. Birds are highfliers that never get away from the simple life. After a dog has indulged in short pants he usually goes in swimming. Freedom doesn't always bring happiness, but you'll notice that it is the tied dog that howls. Can people of tart dispositions but loving hearts be said to be overflowing with the buttermilk of human kindness? Fato has no terrors for the unsophisticated. There isn't a bird in the orchard that doesn't understudy Eve every minute of the day. BITS OF FACT The camel is in general use as a carrier in South Australia. The first record of English horse racing was in 1609 at Chester. Wolf hunters of India are advised to disguise themselves as peazants. Only one ounce of soap a head is annually used by the people of India. The government stamp collection at Washington is visited each year by 1,000,000 men. Of all the dried fruits none perhaps equals the raisin in food value and ease of digestion. At the approaching French maneuvers a severe test is to be made of the value of dogs as carriers. Rubles as large as 80 carats have been made by "building up," that is, cementing one stone to another. The fine fire of the Pacific northwest are so colossal that after the trees are hewed down the stumps are used for children's playgrounds, houses for families to live in or for dancing platforms. HOOTS FROM A WISE OWL A little thing like getting into deep water doesn't embarrass the man who paddles his own canoe. Women can keep the secrets of their own making much better than those imparted to them by another. It is true that money once made the mare go, but now it buys an auto and the mare is allowed to stay in the pasture. A woman wants to be prettier than she was the last time and not quite as pretty as she wants to be the next time. Judge. A Writer. "You may you and a tempire need workers?" "Ladied I am I would all of my this in the queue." "But I thought you sat a noble dom- ain?" "Well don't I still throw the great wages for the sake of one child of whanks?" VERSE WORTH READING Men. Some men have the talent, some men have the grit. Some men too much money, some have none at all. Some men are good looking, many men are hot. Every man thinks some man has a bag-er line. Some men work for glory, some for daily bread. Some men gipping backward, some men get ahead; Some men sit in darkness, some achieve the heights, Caring not for sthones—they are mighty few. Each man thinks his hardships heaviest at all. The Gleaners Across the stubble field the wagons go With lilting laughter and glad harvest song; And in their fresh-made track shy pen- ture. Advance, vibrate, retreat the whole day long. The proud, young feathered mother from the barn Brings her her fluffy, chirping, yellow brood. The plump quall feeds, unfrighted and unharmed; The squirrel feasts and flies, in bolder mood The sheep hold mouse waits to fill her nest; The wese ant staggers off with precious self; And flocks of chattering birds, bold high- waymen. Take tribute from the loaded wain itself. The happy children, riding on the sheaves. Would drive these daring bordermen as well. The farmer, turning hastily around With kindling eyes and softening face, says: "May." Our bins are bursting with God's gifts, they are His gleaners. Let them eat their fill. By Mary Marshall Parks, in the Independent. "World is Too Much With Us." The world is too much with us; late and soon. Give land and spending, we lay waste our powers; Little we see in Nature that is ours; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon. The sea that bares her bosom to the moon; The winds that will be howling at all hours, And are up-gather'd now like sleeping flowers; For little for everything, we are out of time; It moves us not Great God! I'd rather be A pagan suckled in a creed outworn; So might I standing on this pleasant horse; Have glimpse that would make me less forlorn; Have sight of-Proteus rising from the sea; Or bear old Triton blow his wreathed horn. —William Wordsworth. That Night That night the world seemed full of song. Each star a twinkle wore. And every frog was musical Before his ready door. The roses leaned across his path, Their fragrance ne'd so sweet; That wood and thicket all should sing On such a night seemed meet. The brook that lingered beneath the bridge Burst into sudden song. And lurking schools all the way Their chime bells rang along. A thousand things seemed bent to chew His happy house and all the way Lift it up how his inner joy And tried their joy to say. And all of this because a maid Within be Whose roses only heard the words Had said that she loved him. The Tempest He shall give his angel's charge Over thee in all thy weas Thee shall drown upon aam at large. Though the lightning round me plays Like a child I lay my head In sweet sleep, upon my bed. Though the terror come so close. It shall have no power to smile; It shall deepen my repose. Turn the darkness into light. Touch of angel's hand is sweet; Not a stone shall hurt my feet. All Thy waves and billows go Over me to press me down Into arms so strong, I know They will never let me. Drown. Ah, my God, how good Thy will I will nestle and be still. —Alice Freeman Palmen A L1e. There is no weapon that can bulk in thrust. No steel of proof can cast it harmless by. No stainless honor or unsuilled trust Can foil the dendish malice of a Ha. The poison insists insidious from its sigh; The taint corrodes, the black aborbs the light; And contradiction spreads a useless wing To check the haterful triumph of its flight. We speak of Time's correction, and of Truth Whose great tribunal waits to test and try. We speak for swift solution—ret in sooth. There are few things more deathless than a Ha. The Key. If thou wouldst fathom how life may its greatestights and depths reveal, Ask neither joy, nor offering, Not service of another man. But give, live always, hour by hour, No matter what the pain or price; So shall thou gain life's stronghold, wise man. —Charlotte's Becker. One of the Qualifications. "I believe I have the only perfect husband." "Does he look?". "You didn't catch my name! I was breaking of my husband, not of our now." "I was your husband, I had in mind.

If it were not that Gen. Alfred S Hartwell is Chief Justice of the Supremo Court of Hawaii and at the height of a distinguished career one might almost be tempted to call him a soldier of fortune, so varied and unusual have been his experiences. He well fell a Hawkeye man. He commanded negro troops in the civil war. Then he got appointed as a Judge in a foreign kingdom. Several years later, he became a member of the King's Cabinet, with the rank of Attorney-General, and now for several years he has been Chlof Justice of an American Territory. He met with the officers reached New York night before last from a three months European trip. He is leaving for Honolulu, in a day or two. He looks happy and says he is. "There may be places more beautiful than Hawaff," said the General at the Manhattan Hotel yesterday, but don't know them he have. He was in my for two-years residence all the blessings one could ask for. "I was graduated at Harvard in the class' of 1858 with Gen. William Henry Fitzhugh Lee, James May of Petersburg, Va., William Elliott of South Carolina, afterward in Congress, all of whom fought, in the Confederate army and wrote Henry Adams, who thinked the best history of the Twenty-nine numbers of my class fought on one side or the other in the civil war. Our first scholar, Jimmie Lowell, a nephew of James Russell Lowell, was killed in Virginia. "When the war broke out I got a commission as Captain of the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts negro regiment of which the famous Robert Shaw was Colonel. Later I was made Colonel of the Fifty-fifth, and in the latter the war I got a brigade which then were both white and colored troops. "Do I consider that black soldiers make good fighters? Woll, they are just what their officers are." "The Confederates regarded their fighting abilities so highly that at least two attempts were made to get authority to enlist罕罕 regiments. He recalled, that he had proposed to get up a negro regiment that Lee had sent to Jefferson Davis for the necessary authority, but that Davis had refused. Gen. Pat Cloburno made a similar proposal. The brevity of the colored soldier and his endurance, one man, a sergeant in the Fifth-fifth, was hit in the leg at the battle of Honey Hill, South Carolina, and the Leutenant-Colonel told me he saw him leaning on his ride and still giving the usual cry: "Live am I here." The officer then hung him to the rear, but the seagull insisted on staying where he was. "Atfor the war, this man—this name was Mitchell—was elected to the Legislature. When James Russell Lowell was making inquiries about him I told him this incident. 'Well, said Mr. Lowell, 'any man who under such circumstances would prove himself to be aboggi. 'Give him' to seek, a more comfortable place in the rear, can be treated in a State Legislature.' After, the surrender at Appomattox I was stationed in the interior of South Carolina with white and black regiments. The Southern people were very much disturbed when they heard that I was going to send small detachment of negro troops, around through the country to keep order. But the Southern people were on birth of some of the South Carolina lans opposed the, with that the negroes could stay with them. They said these heroic soldiers had taught the mugwow of that scion to understand that habit of getting forty acres and a mile they would have to work for selling, as they themselves did in the north. The only battles captured from the Confederate army on Chattanooga was taken by the huge soldiers on Jackson Island, but not mine and was subdued. Prompted by the ladies of Eutaw Springs to the Twenty-seventh, South Carolina, in the ranch, from the Bag, North, to a friend, in Boston. Several years later, I tried hard to get it back in order but returned, in April, to Spring, but no trace of it could be found. In 1888 a friend of mine told me of a position I could get to Hawaii. I wont out there and wont on the punch. For six years I was-Associate Justice, and then when Kalakaia was elected King I went into his Cabinet as Attorney-General. In those days there were many international questions coming up for treaties. In instance, under the treaty of 1876 with the United States, when England demanded rights similar to those accorded this country Hawaii was more under American influence to that day than English. "I resigned from the Cabinet after a short term, and practised law in Ionolulu until 1904, when I was again appointed to the bench. When I was made Chief Justice in 1907 I was made Chief Justice. "The Hawaiians have developed a great capacity for self-government," said Gon. Hartwoll in answer to a question. "There were many who thought that giving them suffrage without any property qualification would have done very well with it and have naturally to higher civilization."—New York Sun, September, 17, 1910.

Crowds at Wichester Falk Enter Into General Morzymaking. BALITMORE. Like two armed and hostile camps, the administration forces and the insurgents of the Biennial Movable Desert of Odd Fallen, were feared, at the Centre Market Hall yesterday, determined to battle for prospective sides. Benjamin J. Dayas, the present grand treasurer; Henry Lincoln Johnson of Atlanta; Edward H. Morris, the administration candidate for grand master, and W. L. H. Houston, the present grand master, wrote those with expressions which indicated that they expected contention after contention. The inaugrant leaders, Roy, E. P. Jones, J. C. Aubury, W. H. C. Brown, of Newport News, Vae, E. H. McKillack, of Missalissippi, were all there ready to resist any steam roller methods, as well as to tight inch by inch. The leaders of both factions know that there would likely be a big outbreak at any time, as happened on Thursday, when Henry P. Slaughter, an employee in the Government Printing Office, at Washington, was玻尔莱 and manager of the Office. Follows Journal to succeed John C. Aubury. The election came rather suddenly to most of the delegates as they had been voting upon proposed legislation all the morning. During a temporary lull, with Henry Lincoln Johnson in the chair, Grand Master *Houston* moved that the house proceeded to vote on the nomination editor of the Odd Follows Journal, and nominated H. P. Slaughter. The Georgia delegates, as well as a number of others, immediately yelled "Slaughter! Slaughter!" while from all points of the hall came cries of "Absbury! Absbury!" The wildest confusion prevailed, during which time James H. Hayes, the governor of Arkansas, and Mr. Slaughter was carried to the stage and declared elected. W. H. C. Brown, J. C. Asbury, who were not present at all and Rev. Dr. E. P. Jonea were especially bitter in their criticisms, declaring that Asbury was not a good candidate for election was forced prematurely, and by steam roller methods. The election was especially bitter to the Asbury forces as only the night before the insurgents had mot and agreed to support Dr. P. Jonea for governor. Mr. Asbury was not a good candidate for governor. The endorsement of Mr. Asbury was regarded as a vindication in view of the fact that his work as editor and manager had been so severely arraigned by Grand Master Houston in his annual address. Mr. Asbury probably the stormiest in the history of the Order and will be long remembered. TROUBLE STARTS EARLY. The trouble started Monday afternoon, when Grand Master Houston declared that Prof. S. Smith, of Ohio and Rev. William Decker, of Florida, secretaries. The insurgent forces vehemently claimed that Prof. E. H. McKissack, of "Mississippi" and Charles E. Milchall, of West Virginia, were directed, two hours of wounding to the meeting was finally declared adjourned. Policemen were stationed at the entrance of the hall Tuesday, and over three hours were spent in admitting only accredited delegates. The delegates had to give a password and have their credentials verified by Grand Secretary Needham. It was bitterly complained of by man that the george had "had" that was the chief card and they would be immediately passed in while the others were kept outside for several hours. Horace D. Slatter, the newspaper correspondent; Fred R. Moore, of the New York Age; Hon. John C. Dany and Rev. W. H. Creditt, who delivered the oration Monday, were among those excluded from the sessions. When the session was called at 3:30 p.m., the majors were ready for battle, but Mr. Houston disregarded their complains and delivered, his bi-annual address. Trouble started anew Wednesday morning, when Grand Master Houston declined to let Editor Asbury read his bi-national report, stating that the report should have been submitted to him first for incorporation in the Grand Master's address as a required masturbation. The required masturbation to get at white heat and despite the land protests against his ruling, Mr. Houston went on with the calling for nominations for the various committees, and afterward took up the proposed changes in the old laws. A proposition to establish a board of health was defeated by a large majority. The law prohibiting officers in district grand lodges to hold office in the house endorsing New Orleans as the place for holding the proposed Panama Canal Exposition was passed. HOUSEHOLD OF RUTH PAYS VISIT. A committee representing the Household of Ruth which is holding its sessions in Sharp Street Memorial Church was heartily received when they made their tapropal visit. Misa Lorena Mitchell, of Macon, delivered the address of greeting. Others in the party were Sisters Catherine Smith and Fannie Powell, of Washington; S. Taylor, of Bakersfield; O. Barker, of Philadelphia; Nora Taylor, Chicago; and J. L. Page, Florida; George A. Watt, Grand Chancellor of the Maryland Grand Lodge of Knights; of Pythias presented fraternal greetings.

Use this blank A triple tragedy took place in the little town of Elizabethtown, about walk miles from West Chester, Ft. to Chester county. It was one of the most horrible murders committed in this county for many years. The victims are the wife and three children of John Zoos, a Tole, who works in the graphite mines in that place. Two children—girl, one three years old, the other ten months old, are dead. The mother had her head crushed in a horrible mapper and had severed hours after the crime, who disappeared. A boy six years old had his head crushed. He was found in a clump of bushes near the house. The husband and father upon his return from work was horrified upon finding the two children lying dead on the door, and ran to the country store, where he gave the alarm. It is hoped by the county officials that the boy will regain consciousness and give a description of the murderer, who is yet unknown. The boy had been at school and the theory is that he came upon the murderer at his work upon his reaching home and was boasted on the head and left (or dead) in the bushes where he was found. The motive for the crime is believed to have been robbery, as Zoos bank book and all the money in the house $45, is missing. Chief-of-Police Jessels and District Attorney Jantzoph have gone to the same school to investigate. A strange man was seen in the vicinity of the Zoos home, and when leaving was seen going in the direction of Downtown. A pose of farmers has gone in purse split and thoroughly searched the neighborhood. No arrests have been made. FORDS HAIR POMADE THE OLD RELIANCE OF LEASING FOR KINNY OR STOLY.
