THE DINING CAR AND ITS EMBARRASSMENTS—INTERESTING INFORMATION VOLUME XXVII, NO. 44. Editor He Travels Thru Upon a Pullma THE DINING CAR AND ITS We left Richmond Saturday 11:45 P. M. via Southern Railway after bidding adieu to Roscoe C. Mitchell, S. S. Baker, E. R. Jefferson, M. D., E. A. Randolph, Esq. and Sager Jones, all of whom were at the depot to see the last of the traveller to California. A few moments later, we were in the Pullman sleeping car and it was not very long before the land of dreams had come. MR. KING MEETS US. Arising early we surveyed the country as we were being rapidly carried to Greensboro, N. C. Reaching there we had no sooner alighted before we were grasped by the hand by Mr. George F. King, the brilliant colored journalist who is correspondent at large of the Greensboro Daily News. He had spent half the night to get ready to meet the representative of The PLANET. Within the forty minutes allotted to us, we told him well high everything in connection with recent events in Richmond. A LATE RISER. The southbound solid vestibule train arrived and we changed sleepers. Our treatment aboard was all right. Immediately upon examining our tickets we were told that we had been assigned to Car A, lower berth 1. It was some time though before we secured possession as a passenger given to the habit of late rising was sleeping peacefully in the berth as signed to us. We presumed that he would vacate at the next large city and we were not disappointed. WELL SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE. We were given a seat in the parlor car where a polite porter did all in his power to make it comfortable for us, and we had no complaint to make as to either treatment or service. There were many passengers aboard, both male and female, but we were the only colored person that we saw on the train. When breakfast time came, we were notified, after the last call that all was ready and we secured a breakfast that suited our appetite and impressed us with the excellence of the service. THE BELL RINGER When the train reached Salisbury, we were impressed with the gyrations of a hotel porter attired in a white jacket and apron, dark pants, while in his hands, he swung a large bell, which he rang with every muscle of his body in action. He gave such a peculiar twist in handling it that it was a source of amusement to us while it was evidently a matter of work with him. Just two white passengers filed in to the hotel dining room as a result of his efforts. It mattered little to him. He was there to ring the bell and to give information. When he gave information, he didn't ring the bell, and when he rang the bell, he didn't give information. A SUBDUED SILENCE Still in all of this Southern country one was impressed by the good order of the colored people who seemed to be cowed and subservient and well suited to the conditions surrounding them. Even among the Pullman Car porters, there seemed to be a recognition of the fact that they were travelling through a white man's country where "everything goes" and where colored men's rights and privileges are just what the white folks choose to accord to them. A CAMP MEETING. As a result there was little jollity, but much sober reflection. We passed Lula, Ga. where a camp meeting was in progress. There were men, women and children and vehicles of every description. To the right were three colored youngsters, carving a watermelon and after each operation the face of one of them went down deep into the juicy meat of that Georgia fruit which has for so many generations brought joy and happi- PULL TOGETHER BUSINESS LEAGUE ESSENTIALS POLITICAL LEAGUE THE CHURCH NIAGARA MOVEMENT American Syndicate Co., St. Augustine, Fla. The Present Situation A RACING AUTOMOBILE It was six o'clock when we reached Atlanta and it was half an hour before we left it. We passed Ft.

It seemed to literally fly along the road and we understood as never before the reason why coun- American Syndicate try constables stopped the practice by means of fines and shot-guns. A DELAYED DINNER The dining car waiter had asked us at 2 o'clock whether we would take luncheon or wait for dinner and as we had liberally patronized our box of lunch which had been given us before leaving Richmond, we stated that we preferred to wait for dinner. We waited. It was nine o'clock when it was ready to be served and that was 10 o'clock at night by Richmond time. We were in bed at that time and felt no inconvenience over the delayed meal of victuals. We preferred to sleep until breakfast. THE INFLUENCE OF DR. WASHINGTON. We remembered passing West Point. In response to an enquiry the porter said that this train did not stop at Chehaw, except upon orders and these orders were given upon a telegram from "Booker." Any one going or coming from Tuskegee Institute could get on or off any of the through trains. The "wizard of Tuskegee," Dr. Washington had this power. We had hoped to be able to stop over while enroute to California but we found that we could not do so, and make our schedule. (Continued on Fourth Page.) In Memoriam."

The Gideon Savings Bank, Unable to Meet Requirements of State Corporation Commission, Forced to Suspend Business. Norfolk, Va., Sept. 22—Because the Directors could not meet the requirements of the State Corporation Commission, following the State Bank Examiner, the Gideon Savings Bank, Inc. a colored institution, at 612 Church Street, made an assignment of its assets to Menalicus Lankford, trustee, yesterday afternoon. The deed assignment was filed this morning in the Court of Law and Chancery and was the result of meeting the Directors held yesterday afternoon. The deposits amount to $13,000.00 with $15,000.00 assets, consisting of real estate, cash on hand, notes and furniture. It is said that the liabilities are about $13,000 and that the depositors will be paid every cent in full. "The condition of the bank is good," said Mr. Lankford this morning "and we believe that the depositors will lose nothing. The whole trouble arose out of the fact that the bank was not sufficiently capitalized and as the Corporation Commission's requirements for a larger capital stock could not be met the Directors deemed it best to make an assignment for the benefit of its depositors and all concerned. The assignment was in no way due to mismanage- PULL TOGETHER BUSINESS TRADERS SUFFRAGE ESSENTIALS THE CHURCH nt Situation. ment of the bank's affairs, but simply because there was not as much money in stock behind it as the Corporation Commission required. From what we can gather the bank was on the eye of a prosperous year." Mr. Lankford and Attorney Paul Kear, with two of the officers of the bank, were at work on the books of the institution this morning, and it was said that they had not had the time to see exactly how matters stood, but that it was almost certain that each depositor would get dollar for dollar. In the deed of assignment it was stated that the work of the state bank examiner showed impairment in the capital stock of the concern and that the Corporation Commission insisted in that the impairment be met immediately, but that in spite of the strenuous efforts that the Directors made to meet this requirement they were unable to do so, and as the State Corporation Commission had signified its intention of closing the bank at once, it was advisable to place the affairs of the bank in the hands of a trustee as the best method of securing the depositors and creditors. The Gideon Savings Bank had been in operation at its present location five years, with J. J. Major, President and F. E. Puryear, Secretary. Its capital stock is seven thousand dollars with many stockholders, who hold as low as one share at one dollar a share. It was the banking place of a great majority of the colored people of Norfolk and was situated in the belt in which most of its depositers live. Subscribe to the PLANET.

HENRY CRUTCHFIELD, Editor, Office: 1215 E. Broad St., Richmond, Va. The Fifth Street Baptist Church enjoyed a fine day Sunday although its Pastor, Rev. W. F. Graham is spending his vacation away. Before he left he provided for his congregation, leaving the Rev. W. H. Watkins in charge. Sunday morning Rev. W. W. Wines, Jr. preached. Rev. Wines preached an excellent sermon which was enjoyed by all present. He preached a fine sermon Sunday night. Rev. Wines was reared in Richmond, Virginia and is now pastoring in Indiana. He is a fine speaker and a good preached. He is here spending his vacation with his parents and friends. At 3:30 o'clock another of Richmond's sons officiated, in the person of Rev. Dr. D. Webster Davis. The Church assembled to partake of the communion. Dr. Davis conducted the service in a pleasing manner. A large congregation witnessed the solemn occasion with their minds centered upon Jesus, Calvary and the future home of the saints, which can only be reached by obedience to the teachings of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Everything was well managed and conducted. Rev. Davis is not only a great Lecturer but a fine preacher and a good shouting hymn songster. In singing he took the congregation by surprise. All were elated over this service and so expressed themselves. Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham and family are now with his mother in Marianna, Arkansas, after visiting the National Baptist Convention which met in New Orleans. This convention held this year one of the greatest meetings in the history or the convention. The various departments raised more money than ever before. Dr. E. C. Morris was re-elected by acclamation. Names of the other officers will be given hereafter. Our Pastor, Dr. W. F. Graham was Chairman of Finance Committee, thus having had the honor of having handled all of its funds this year. We are proud to state that the Doctor and his family are well and enjoying their vacation. His aged mother is also well and is highly elated over the reunion of the family once more during life. On leaving to return home the Doctor and family will visit Little Rock and Hot Springs, Arkansas. They will be home by the second Sunday in October, 1910, on which Sunday the Doctor will preach. (Sunday School of the Fifth Street Baptist Church was largely attended last Sunday morning. The Rev. W. W. Wines, Jr. made a very fine address on Temperance. His discourse on this subject was a little different from the usual, but it was all right and helpful. He made us see it in an additional light. Rev. Wines is a good thinker. The teachers taught their classes thirty minutes. Supt. Prof. B. H. Peyton urges the teachers and scholars to come out at 9:30 o'clock every Sunday morning. Let all heed and discharge our duty in this respect as well as in all others. Punctuality is one of the elements to success. The School is in a very good condition at present and is still moving on.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS. President Mitchell Tendered a Reception. Some of the Directors of the Mechanics' Savings Bank and friends, at the suggestion of Vice-Pres. H. F. Jonathan, who by the way was Master of Ceremonies, conceived the idea of tendering President John Mitchell, Jr. a banquet prior to his departure to attend the annual session of the American Bankers' Association at Los Angeles, California. It was 10:30 Friday night, 23d jst, before the exercises commenced. The table was spread in the lower part of 511 N. Third Street and Mr. Isaiah Love was the Caterer. Those present were: Messrs. D. J. Chavers, John T. Taylor, R. C. Mitchell, Willis Wyatt, R. A. Preston, Thomas Smith, S. S. Baker, Robert Gray, John R. Chiles, R. W. Whiting, Jesse Scruggs, E. R. Jefferson, A. V. Norrell, Thomas H. Wyatt E. A. Randolph, T. M. Crump. Eloquent speeches were made by Master of Ceremonies Jonathan, Taylor, Jefferson Chiles, Whitting, Randolph, Wyatt and others. President Mitchell responded in an address that deeply impressed all present and he promised to be prepared to make a full report upon his return from his trip to the other side of the American continent. The affair was admirably arranged and magnificently handled. Dr. Washington's Travels As has been generally announced, Dr. Booker T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Institute, has gone to Europe for the purpose of studying social and labor conditions. He will compare "the man farthest down" in Europe with "the man farthest down" in America. In the interest of his studies, Dr. Washington has visit4, or will visit successively, London, England; Edinburgh, Scotland; Berlin, Germany; Prague, Bohemia; Vienna, Austria; Budapest, Hungary; Belgrade, Servia; Sofia, Bulgaria; Constantinople, Turkey; Catanja, Italy; Naples, Italy; Rouen, France; and Copenhagen, Sweden. Dr. Washington spoke in Prague, Bohemia, the week of September 4th and will speak in the Palace of Arts, Berlin, September 30th. On his return to London, October 6th, he is to be the special guest of honor at a dinner to be given by the National Liberal Club, and on Friday evening October 7th, the evening before he sails for America, he will speak in Liverpool before one of the important business organizations. Although Dr. Washington went to Europe to secure a much needed vacation, the foregoing itinerary shows that he has been and will be unusually busy. A summary of his trip will appear in a series of articles in The Outlook Magazine, of New York City, under the general title, "The Man Farthest Down." Don't Want Colored Folks There. Some of the white people of Clay Street seem to be much dissatisfied over the action of colored property owners in moving in that locality. This feeling however does not extend to the better class of white people, who seem willing to assist colored folks here in every way. An amusing phase of the situation is that white owners are not only selling their property to colored people, but they are soliciting the aid of colored real-estate owners in so doing. Mrs. Salle Scott purchased the house and lot at 606 W. Clay Street and is preparing to move there. On Friday, September 23 1910 the following typewritten notice was pasted on the house by some one. "NOTICE. NOTICE. "If any Negroes move in this house they do so at their own risk. The white residents of West Clay Street are determined that no Negroes shall live in this neighborhood. We advise you to take warning. "The White Citizens of W. Clay St." The indications are that these white citizens, at least some of them, if not all of them are trying to sell their property at exorbitant prices. Mr. H. H. Braxton handled this transaction and took down the notice aforesaid. Announcement Mrs. J. P. H. Coleman, Phar. D., formerly President and Manager of the Columbia Chemical Co., Newport News, Va.

W., Washington, D. C. Silver The breath of the wild north-west is in this great story of love and life and hate and death. Rex Beach and Jack London have revealed the hidden mysteries and romances of the Alaskan wastes as have no other authors, and in this stirring, gripping narrative is shown the best work of Mr. Beach's career. Boyd Emerson and his superhuman efforts to win a fortune for the woman he loved; Cherry Malotte, the captivating, energetic young woman who combated desperate men on the battleground of their own choosing; Mildred Wayland, the imperious beauty and society favorite, whose hand was sought by bitter rivals who did not stop at murder; George Balt, the sturdy fisher hero, whose voice was like the roar of giant waves on a lea shore; "Fingeless" Fraser, whose quaint humor alone prevented him from going to jail, where he really belonged, and Willis Marsh, unprincipled intriguer and a betrayer of men and women—these are some of the characters and elements that make this story one of the greatest tales of adventure ever written. CHAPTER L THE trail to Kalvik leads down from the northward mountains over the tundra which flanks the tide fades, then creeps on upon the salt ice of the river and across to the village. A Greek church, a Russian school with a cassecoed priest presiding and about a hundred houses beside the cannery buildings make up the village. Early one December afternoon there entered upon this trail from the timberless bills far away to the northward a weary team of six dogs, driven by two men. The travelers had been plodding sulently hour after hour, distrited by the weight of the storm. "Fingerless" Fraser broke trail, and Boyd Emerson drove. "Another day like this and we'd both be snow blind," observed Emerson grimly as he bent to his task. "But it can't be far to the river now." An hour later they dropped from the plain down through a gutterlike gully to the river, where they found a trail, glass hard beneath its downy covering. A cold breath sucked up from the sea. Abashed they saw the ragged ice upended by the tide. One branch led to the village, which they knew lay somewhere on the farther side, hidden by a mile or more or sifting snow. The going here was so rough that both men leaped from their seats and ran beside the sled. They mounted a swelling ridge and rushed down to the level river ice beyond, but as they did so they heard a shivering creak on every side and saw water rising about the sled runners. Emerson shouted, the dogs teased, but with a crash the ice gave way, and for a moment the water closed over him. "Fingerless" Fraser broke through in turn, gasping as the ice water rose to his armpits. Each man aimed to secure an independent footing, but the efforts of all only enlarged the pool. Emerson shouted: "Cut the team loose, quickF" But the other spat out a mouthful of salt water and splattered: "I—I can't swim!" Whereupon the first speaker half swam himself through the slush to the forward end of the sled and, seeking out the sheath knife from beneath his parka, cut the harness of the two animals. Once free they scrambled to safety and rolled in the dry snow. Emerson next attempted to lift the nose of the sled up on the ice, shouting at the remainder of the team to pull but they only wagged their skis with the hooks he tried to lift the sled he crushed through fresh ice, finally bearing the next pair of dogs with him and then the two animals in the lead. All of them became hopelessly entangled. Suddenly rang out a sharp command uttered in a new voice. Out of the snow fog from the direction in which they were hooded broke a team, running full and free. Emerson marveled at the outfit, having never seen the like in all his travels through the north, for each animal of the twelve stood hip high to a tall man, and they were like wolves, of one pack, gray and gaunt and wicked. A tall Italian runner left the team and headed swiftly for the scene of the accident. The man ran forward till he neared the edge of the opening where the tide had caused the floor to separate; then, detaining his body on the ice, he crawled out cautiously and seized the lead dog. Carefully, he wormed his way backward in security, it had been a ticklish operation, we Horde HARPER & BROTHERS and nephews from all immersion. Together they received the outfit. The person in the sledge had watched them silently, but now spoke in a strange patio, and the breed gave voice to her words, for it was a woman. "One mile you go—white man house. Go quick—you freeze." "Aln't you got no dry clothes? Our stuff is soaked." Again the Indian translated some words from the girl. "No. You burry and no stop here. We go quick over yonder. No can stop at all." He harried back to his mistress, cried once to the pack of gray dogs, "Oonaahh and they were off as if in chase. As they dashed past both white men had one fleeing glimpse of a woman's face beneath a furred hood, and then it was gone. "Did you see?" Fraser ejaculated. "Good Lord! it's a woman—a blond woman!" "Not sensel! She must be a breed," said Emerson. "Breeds don't have yellow hair!" declared the other. Swiftly they bent in the free dogs and lashed the team to a run. They felt the chill of death in their bones, and instead of riding they ran with the sted till their blood beat painfully. Their outer coverings were like shells, their underclothes were soaked, and, although their going was difficult and clumsy, they dared not stop, for this is the extremest peril of the north. They swung over the river bank and into the midst of great raumbling frame buildings. Their trilight led to them a high banked cabin. Another mile would have meant disaster. "Booot the owner and tell him we wait," said Emerson. "I'll free the dogs." Before he could reach the cabin the door opened and Fraser appeared, a strange dazed look on his face. He was followed by a large man of sullied countenance. "It's no use," Fraser said. "We can't go in." "What's wrong? Somebody slick?" "I don't know what's the matter. This man just says 'nk', that's all." The fellow growled. "Yaa; Ay got no room." "But you don't understand," said Emerson. "We're wet. We broke through the ice. Never mind the snow. We'll go along somehow." "You can't come in in hair. You find annder house tree mille furder." The traveler pushed forward. Involuntarily the watchman drew back, whereupon the unwelcome visitor crowded past, jostling his inhospitable host roughly. Emerson's quick action gained him entrance, and Fraser followed behind into the living room, where a flat naked squaw withdrew before them. The young man addressed her peremptorily: "Punch up that fire and get us something to eat, quick!" Bour obedience followed. Fraser had been watching the fellow and now remarked to his companion: "Say, what alls that glimpsey?" The assumption of good nature fell away from Boyd Emerson as he replied: "I never know anybody to refuse shelter to freezing men before." The watchman reappeared. "You can't stop harlah" he said. "Ay got orders. By Yingo. Ay trow you out!" He stooped and grabbed up the gunments nearest him, then stepped toward the outer door, but before he could make good his threat Emerson whirled like a cat, his deep set eyes dark with sudden fury, and seized his host by the nape of the neck. He jerked him, back so roughly that the wet clothes draped to the floor in four directions, whereat the Scandinavian let forth a bellow, but Emerson struck him heavily on the jaw with his open hand, then hurried him backward into the room, where at last he and his legs colliding with a bench, he fell against the wall. His assistant stopped in and throthed him, beating his head violently against the jaws. Emerson, stepping back, spoke in a quirky voice which Fraser had never heard before; "I'm just playing with you now. I don't want to hurt you." "Got out of my house. Ay got on door?" cried the watchman and made for him again. Emerson dragged him to his own door, dragged the door open and kicked him out into the snow, then barred the entrance and returned to the wrist of the logs, his face cussed and his lips working. When the elaborately woman had slunk forth and was busted at the store Emerson observed mutiny; "I wonder what, possessed that fellow, to act as he did." He said he had orders: "Preserve offered, 'If I find a warm cabin, a lot of arab and a squaw, I like to see somebody give me orders." Their clothing was: dry, new, and they proceeded to dress, leisurely. When they had, finished, their coffee Emerson had two silver dollars on the table, and they left the house to search out the riverwalk again. The darkness was upon them when they swept off the oppressive bank and took their clothes' droves of shadowy buildings. Again inside the solitary mishka of light, shimmering from what swallowed of the waterman's bones they plied to him for water. NEWBURY. EMERSON SKIPED HIS HOST BY THE KAPS OF THE NEOX. that doesn't succeed then I'll take possession again." A mile farther on they drew up before a white pile surmounted by a dimly discerned Greek cross, but their signals awakened no response. "Gone!" They wasted no words when, for the tough time their eyes caught the welcome sight of a shining radiance in the gloom. "Unhitchl" ordered Emerson doggedly as he began to untie the ropes of the sled. He shouldered the sleeping bags and made toward the light that filtered through the crusted windows, followed by Fraser similarly burdened. But as they approached they saw at once that this was no cannery; it looked more like a roadhuge or trading post. Behind and connected with it by a covered hall or passageway crouched another squat building of the same character, its roof piled thick with a mass of snow, its windows glowing. They mounted the steps of the night building and without knocking flung the door open, entering. With a sharp exclamation an Indian woman regarded them round eyed. "We're all right this time," observed Emerson "It's a store." Then to the woman he said briefly, "We want a bed and something to eat." On every side the walls were shelved with merchandise, while the counter carried a supply of clothing and skins. "What your want?" demanded the squaw. Boyd and Fraser, dividing themselves of their furs, noticed that she was little more than a girl—a native undoubtedly. "Food! Sleep!" Boyd replied. "You can't stop here," the girl asserted firmly. "Oh, yes, we can," said Emerson. The squaw called, "Constantine." The tall figure of a man emerged, advancing swiftly. It was the copper hued native who had rescued them from the river carrier in the day. The Indian girl broke into a torrent of excited volubility. "You no stop here," said Constantine. Making toward the outer door, he flung it open. "We've come a long way and we're tired." Emerson argued. He faced the Indian with his back to the stove, his voice taking on a determined note. "We won't leave here until we are ready, and your bootchot" to get some smother. Quickly. A soft voice from the rear of the room halted the advancing Indian. "Constituted," it said. The travelers whirled to see, standing out in relief against the darkness of the passage whence the Indian had just come a few seconds before, the golden haired girl of the storm to whom they had been induced for their rescue. She advanced, smiling pleasantly. "These men no stop here!" cried Constantine violently. "I—I-beg pardon," began Emerson. "We didn't intend to take forcible possession, but we're played out—we're been denied a shelter everywhere—we're fleeing." She addressed the Indian girl in alent and signaled to Constantine, at which the two natives relied. "We're glad. of an opportunity to thank you for your timely service this afternoon," said Emerson. "Oh that - was nothing. I've been expecting you hourly. You see. Constantine's little 'brother' has the monster, and I had to get to him before the natives could give the poor little fellow a Russian bath and then stand him out in the snow. They have only one treatment, for all diseases." "If your en-father"— The girl shook her head. "Then your husband I should like to arrange, with him to hire lodgings for a few days. The matter of money"— Again she came to his rescue. "I am the man of the house, I'm boss here. You are quite welcome to stay, as long as you wish. Constantine objects to my hospitality, and create all strangers a feeling; they may be allowed to a Swede out on his neck, declared Prasser, swelling with connectica, importance"— And I grubbs his swede, us with the other squares beak! "Oh no! They have instructed us to harbor any traveler. It is as much as his job is worth for any of them to entertain you. Now, won't you make you yuqreaves at home while Constantine attends to your 'dog'? Dinner will soon be ready." He imprumed, "Gladi," and then lined himself in, in wonder, at the well gowned girl living amid such striproducts. "Utensilently pretty," we are in, now impersonating herself, with the well gowned girl subducing herself. And finally, the well gowned girl sees the doctor leave. Boyd shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Warranty. Their hostess greatly amused, prevented any further argument by saying: "I suppose you are bound for the States!" "Yes. We intend to catch the mail boat at Katnat. I am taking Fraser along for company. It's hard traveling alone in a strange country. He's a nuisance, but he's rather amusing at times." "I certainly am," agreed that cheerful person, now fully at his ease. By and by the girl rose, and after showing them to a room she excused herself on the score of having to see to the dinner." When she had withdrawn "Finklerka" Fraser pursed his thin lips into a 'hotelsies' whistle, then observed; "Well, I'll—be—cussed." "HO is she? asked Emerson. "You heard, didn't you? She's miss Malotte, and she's certainly some considerable lady," answered the crook. "Yes, but who is she? What does this mean?" Emerson pointed to the provisions and writings about them. "What is she doing here alone?" "Maybe you better ask her yourself," said Fraser. For the first time in their brief acquaintance Emerson detected a strange note in the rogue's voice. The Indian girl summoned them, and they followed her through the long passageway into the other house, where, to their utter astonishment, they seemed to step out of the frontier and into the heart of civilization. They found a tiny dining room perfectly appointed, in the center of which, wonder of wonders, was a round table with a set of chairs upon the surface of which floated gauzy hand worked napier, glinting silver and sparkling crystal, the dark polish of the wood reflecting the light from shaded candies. It held a delicately figured service of blue and gold, while the selection of thin stemmed glasses all in rows indicated the character of the entertainment that awaited them. The machea were, too busy with the incarnation, slight to note details carefully, but they felt soft carpet beneath their feet and observed harmoniously piped. "This is m-arvelous," murmured Emerson. "I'm afraid we're not in keeping." "Indeed you are," said the girl, "and I am delighted to have somebody to talk to. It's very lonely here." "This is certainly a swell tone." Fraser remarked. "How did you do it?" "I brought my things with me from Nome." "Nome!" ejaculated Emerson quickly. "Yes." "Why, I've been in Nome ever since the camp was discovered. It's strange we never met." "I didn't stay there very long; I went back to Dawson." Again he fancied the girl's eyes held a vague challenge, but he could nick be sure, for she seated him and then gave some instructions to the Alert girl. Boyd, becoming absorbed in his own thoughts, grew more silent as the signs of refinement and civilization about him revived memories long afflicted. This was not the effect for which the girl had striven. Her younger guest's tacuity, which grew as the dinner progressed, pliqued her, so at the first opportunity she bent her efforts, toward rallying him. He answered politely, but she was powerless to shake off his mood. At last he spoke: "You said these watchmen have in instruction not to harbor travelers. Why in that?" "It is the policy of the companies. They are afraid somebody will discover gold around here. You see this is the greatest salmon river in the world. The run' is tremendous and seems to be unfailing because the cannery people wish to keep it all to themselves." "It is simple enough. Kavik is so located and the fishing season is so short that the companies have to send their crews in from the fjords and take them out again every summer. Now, if gold were discovered here about the fishermen would all quit and follow the strikes, which would mean the rule of the years catch and the loss of many, hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why, this village would become a city in no time if all a thing were to happen. The whole region, would fill up with miners, and not only would labor conditions be entirely upset for years, but the eyes of the world, belts, turned this way, other people might go into, the fishing business and, create a competition, business that would be bigger and more complete the supply of fish, like Kavik river. So you see, there are many reasons why this begins forbidden to children. You could buy a spindle for a king's trivet. The watchman jobs depend upon the suburban jobs or inhospitable and the ladder days put sail anything too bad a deal. Under security of information for they are dependent upon the companies stores. That is, that is why you have established a trading store by your own! This day's lesson. This good is for my men. "You do not." "Yes, I have a crewwound in the hips on a groust steal. This is our cache. While they present for gold I stand guard over the provisions." "Passer cheekled softly. Then you are bucking the salmon trust." "After a fashion yes, I knew this country had never been gone over so I staked six men chattered a schooler and came down here from Nome in the cray spring. We stood off the watchman and when the supply ship arrived and his men came out the kid where it was hard to follow them. I staged behind and stood the brunt of things." "But surely they didn't undertake to injure you?" said Emerson, now thoroughly interested in this extraordinary young woman. "Oh, didn't they?" she answered, with a peculiar laugh. "You don't appreciate the character of these people. There is no real code of financial morality, and the battle for dollars is the bitterest of all contests. Of course, being a woman, they couldn't very well attack me personally, but they tried everything except physical violence, and I don't know how long they will refrain from that. These plants are owned separately, but they operate under an agreement with one man at the head. His name is Marsh-Willie Marsh—and of course, he's not my friend." "Sort of 'united we stand, divided we fall.'" "Exactly. That spreads the responsibility and seems to leave nobody guilty for his evil deeds. The first thing they did was to sink my schooner. In the morning you will see her spars sticking up through the ice out in front there. One of their tugs 'accidentally' ran her down, although she was able to reach the channel line. Then Marsh actually had the effervescency to come here, personally and demand, damages for the injury to his boatwave, falsely claiming MEYER. WITH A QUICK STROKH HE CUT A SINGLE LEAF. there were no lights on the schooner. When I still remained, obdurate he—be"— She paused. "You may have heard of it. He killed one of my men." "Impossible!" glaculated Boyd. "Oh, but it isn't impossible. Anything is possible with unscrupulous men where there is no law. They halt at nothing when in chase of money. They are different from women in that. They are of a woman doing murder for money." "Was it really murder?" "Judge for yourself. My man came down for supplies, and they got him drunk—he was a drinking man—then they stabbed him. They said a Chinaman did it in a brawl, but Willis Marah was to blame. They brought the poor fellow here and laid him on my steps, as if I had been the cause of it. Oh, it was horrible. horrible!" "And you still stuck to your post?" said Emerson curiously. "Certifi! This adventure means a great deal to me, and, besides, I will not be, he beat—"the stem of the glass with which she had been toying snapped suddenly—"as anything. "The unasspected luxury of the dining room and the excellence of the dinner itself had in a measure prepared Emerson for what he found in the living room." One thing staggered him—a piano. The bearings on the floor, the big sleepy chairs, the reading table littered with magazines, the shelves of books, even the basket of fancy work—all these he could accept without further parlaying, but a piano—in Kalvik Again Boyd withdrew into that silent mood from which no effort on the part of his hostess could arouse him, and it soon became apparent from the littlest hung of his hands and the distant light in his eyes that he had even become unconscious of her presence in the room. After an hour, during which Emerson barely spoke, she tired of Fraser's anecdotes, which had long ceased to be amusing, and, going to piano, shuffled the sheet music idly, inquiring: "Do you care for music?" Her remark was killed at Emerson, but the singer was the "Maple Leaf" Regal. Let her go, professor." Cherry settled herself obligingly and played, ragtime. She was in the midst of some syncopated measure when she abruptly, "Please play something." She understood what he meant and began really to play, revealing very soon that, at least one of her guests knew and loved 'music'. Under her, her dart dangled the instrument became a medium for musical speech. 'Gay roundalaya', passionate. Hungarian, dance, bold. Wagnerian strains followed in quick succession, and the more nor else shaded the more calypsis she felt. The young man, again, responded. Then her dart dilled, and widened as she aggrieved her for the heavy music with the saw, and shrilings of her arist, his powerful ballet bleeding perfectly with her contraintia. For the directing she felt the other personality, her magnificent. If she had dropped his elbow and stood at his side in his true symbiosis. Would you like to be a model, or a model with the face that will give the life the best the body that will give the beauty for a woman who shines for it. We've got an online call at night, long night, to it until my son fairly asked with the plums! He took a seat near the girl and continued to talk feverfully, unable to give voice to his thoughts rapidly enough. Fraser ambled climimly into the cool conversation. Emerson listened tolerantly,ily running through the magazines at his hand, his hostess watching him covertly,uddently, the smile of amusement that harked about his lip corner and gave him a pleasing look hardened in a puerer fashion. He started, then started, at one of the pages; while the color died out of his brows, cheeks, Cherry, saw the hand that held the magazine tremble. He looked up at her and, disregarding Fraser, broke its harshly: "Have you read this magazine?" "Not entirely." "I'd like to take one page of it." "Why, certainly." she replied. He produced a knife and with one quick stroke cut a single leaf out of the magazine, which he folded and thrust into the breast of his coat. "Thank you," he muttered, then fell to staring ahead of him; again beheadless of his surroundings. This abrupt relapse into his former state of sullen and desistant alliance tantalized the girl. He offered no explanation and took no further part in the conversation until, noticing the lateness of the hour, he rose and thanked her for her hostess in the same deadly, indifferent manner. "The music was a great treat," he said, looking beyond her and holding aloft, "a very great treat. I enjoyed it immensely. Good night." Cherry Malotte had experienced a new sensation, and she didn't like it. She vowed angrily that she disliked men who looked past her. Indeed, she could not recall any other who had ever done so. Her chief concern had always been to check their ardor. She resolved viciously that before she was through with this young man he would make her a less listless adieu. She assured herself that she would have done so, who needed to be taught a lesson in manners for his own good if for nothing else. She darted to the table, snatched up the magazine and skimmed through it feverishly. Ah, here was the place! A woman's face with some meaningless name beneath filled each page. Along the top rap the heading, "Famous American Beauties." So it was a woman. She skipped backward and forward among the pages for further possible enlighment, but there was no article accompanying it. She illustrated section devoted to the photographs of prominent actresses and society women, most of whom she had never heard of, though here and there she saw a name that was familiar. In the center was that tatalizingly cliché cut edge which had subtracted a face from the gallery—a face which she wanted very much to see. She shrugged her shoulders carelessly in a sudden access of fury, she flung the mutilated magazine violently into a far corner of the room. The travelers-slept late on the following morning, for the weariness of weeks was upon them, and the little bunk room they occupied adjoined the main building and was dark. When they came forth they found Chakwana in the store and a few moments later were called to breakfast. "Where is your mistress?" inquired Boyd. "She go see my sister broder," said the Indian girl, recalling Cherry's mention of the child ill with measles. "She all the time give medicine to Alout bables," Chakwana continued, all the time give, give something. Indian people love her." They were still talking when they heard the jingle of many bells, and the door burst open to admit Cherry, who came with a rush of youth and health as fresh as the bracing air that followed her. The cold had reddened her cheeks and quickened her eyes. "Good morning, gentleman!" she riled, removing the white fur hood which gave a setting, to her sparkling eyes and teeth. "Oh, but it's a glorious morning! We did the two miles from the village in seventeen minutes." "And how is your meanly patient?" asked Fraser. "He's doing well, thank you." She stepped the door to adobe Chake, wanna, who had evidently hurried around from the other house and now came in, bareheaded and heedless of the cold, beating a bundle clasped to her breast. "I brought the little follow home with me. Seel." "I dare say Kalkiv is rather lively during the summer season," Emerson remarked to Glochry later in the day. "Yes; the ships arrive in May, and the fah' begin to run in July. After that nobody sleeps." It must be borne in mind that, it is appalling. Why, the more that is appalled, in an encline in itself, you know they live a cycle of four years no more, always returning to the waters of their natrihy to die. And, I have heard, it said that during one, of those four years they disappear, one no knows where, reappearing out of the mysterious depths of the sea as if, at a signal, They come by the legion, in poundless spores of, thousands, and when once they have feasted the waters of their birth they never touch food again, nor cease their onward rush until they become beaten and battered, wrecks, shifting down from the spawning beds. When the call of nature is answered and the spawn is laid they die. They beak the sea and eat again, but cannot feel the solitude of their death, feel the solitude of their death, from the remounted invertebrates, heading inwardly for the pearl-shaped pearl stream, whence they originated. If sand, bare should block their course in any seas or oceans, intercept them they will hurt themselves, but of the water, the sand and yet to get across. They may disregard the thousand and few lives for one, but when they finally take the sweet currents, when they from their birthplaces, their whole nature three allies: They grow bliss) and The head lakes on the animal curve of the preying bird. "Why you just begin to write the rain! These birds, which become suddenly grower, and then come in a great bird bliss, which gets up, up toward death and obliteration. They come with the volcanoes of a mere storm like a prodigious breathing army they swarm and head, forward, seger undeviation, one purpose. It is quite impossible to describe in this great silver horde. They are entirely defenseless, of course, and almost every living thing preys upon them. The birds, congregate in millions, the four-footed beasts come down from the hills, the Apaches of the sea harry them in dense droves, and even man appears from distant coasts to take his toll, but still they press bravely on. The clank of machinery makes the hills rumble, the bliss of steam and the sighs of the soldering furnaces are like the complaint of some giant overgorging himself." "How long does it all last?" "Only about six weeks," then the furnished ones ditch out the ships are loaded, the men go to sleep, after which Kalvin saga back into its ten months' comar, becoming as you see it now, a dead, deserted village, shunned by man." "But I don't see how those huge plants can pay for their upkeep with such a short run." "Well, they do, and, what's more, they lay tremendously, sometimes 100 or cent a year or more." "Two years ago a ship sailed into port in early May loaded with an army of men with machinery, lumber, coal, and so forth. They landed, built the plant and bad it, ready to operate by the time the run started. They made their catch and sailed away again in August with enough salmon in the hold to pay twice over for the whole living. Willis Marsh did even better than the year before, but of course the price of fish was high then. Next season will be another big year." "Every fourth season the run is nere; nobody knows why. Every time there is a presidential election the fish are shy and very scarce; that lifts prices. Every year in which a pres- ident of the United States is inaugurat- tely they are plentiful." Emerson rose. "I had no idea there were such profi- ties in the fisheries up here." "Nobody knows it outside of those interested. The Kalvik river is the most wonderful salmon river in the world, for it has never failed once. That's why the companies guard it to jealously." "I have evident that the young man was really interested now." What does it cost to install and op- rate a cannery for the first season? "About $200,000. I am told. But I believe one can mortgage his catch or borrow money on it from the banks, and so not have to carry the full bur- len." "What's to prevent me from going into the business?" "Several things. 'Have you the money?' "Possibly. What else?" "A site." "That ought to be easy" Cherry jagged. "On the contrary, a suitable cannery site is very hard to get because there are natural conditions in cannery, fresh flowing water for one, and furrowmore, because the companies have taken them all up." "Ahl I see." The light died out of Emerson's eyes; the cringer left his voice. He hung himself defectedly into a chair by the fire, moodily watching the flames, liking the burning logs. All at once he gripped the arms of his chair and muttered through sat fows. "God, I'd like to take one more chance." CHAPTER III. THE girl darted a swift look at Boyd, but his fell to brooding again, evidibly insensible to her. At length he stirred himself to ask: "Can I hire a guide hereabout? Well have to be going in a day or so." "Constantine will get you one. I suppose, of course, you will avoid the Katmal pass?" "Avoid it? Why?" "I're dangerous, and nobody travels it except in the direct emergency. It's much the shortest route to the coast, but it has a record of some thirty deaths. I should advise you to cross the range farther east, where the divide is lower. The mall boat touches at both places." "On the following morning Cherry told Constantine to hitch up her team, and have, it waiting, when breakfast was finished. Then she turned to Emerson, who came into the room and said quietly: "I have something to show you if you "want" a short ride with me." The young man, impressed by the gravity of her manners, readily conscientized. Constantly freed the leader, and they went off at a mad run. They skimmed over the snow with the flight of a bird. The young man gave himself up to the unique and rather delightful experience of being transported through an unknown country, to an unknown destination by a charming girl of whom he also knew nothing. "Mesterday you seemed to be taken by the fishing business," she finally said. "I certainly was until you told me there were no cannery sites left," she said. "I one." When I came here a year ago the whole river was open, so on ab outside chance. I beached it, the best one available. When Willis almost learned of it he took up all of the remaining places, and, although at the time he had no idea what it was going to be, he brought him back. Yes. If a big opportunity. You can clean up 100 per cent in a year. Do you think you could raise the money to build a plant? "I might," be said cautiously. "At least you can try." "Just, I don't know, anything about the bighead." "I've thought of all that, and there's a way to make success certain. I believe you have, executive ability, and can handle these men." "Oh, yes. I've done that, sort of thing." His broad shoulders went up as he drew a long breath. "What's your plan?" There's a man down the coast, George Buit, who knows more about his business than any four people in Kalyrt. He discovered the Kalyrt river, fruit the first cannery here and was its foreman until he quarrelled with Marsh. Buit hurt the kind of man to be disciplined, so not hating cough money, to build a cannery, he took, his scanty capital and started a salary on his own account. Marsh broke George in a year; ruined him, utterly wiped him out, just as he intended to wipe out magnificent ma. Thinking to recoup his fortunes, George came back into camp, but no own a valuable trap file which Mr. Ashad his colleagues want and before they would give him work they tried to make him assign it to them and contract 'aver to go in business on his own account.' Naturally George refused. He's been starving now for two years. "No man dares to furnish food to HOTEL ROOKHILL THEY ASSCERTED THE BANK AND SURVEYED THE SURROUNDINGS. George Balti no man dares to give him a bed; no cannery will let him work. He has to take a dory to Dutch Harbor to get food. He doesn't dare leave the country and abandon the manger thousands he has invested in buildings, and every summer, when the run starts he buys a box about the Kalkvik thicker like a walth watching food after just in order to be near it. He stands alone and forsaken harking to the clank of machinery, every bolt of which he placed, watching his enemies enrich themselves from that gleaming silver army, which he considers his very own. He is shunned like a leopard. Some time I believe he will kill Marsh. "Hit him!" One seems to be forever crossing the trail of this Marah," said Boyd, who had listened intently. "The man who beats Marah will have done something." She paused, then said deliberately. "And I believe you are the one to do it." They had reached their destination—the mouth of a deep creek, to which Cherry turned. Bensonerson the sled and, running forward, sleded the leader, guiding it into a clump of ice; jumbed the hole of which he tugged the harness for this team was like a pack of wolves, ravenous for travel and intolerant of the leash. Together they ascended the bank and surveyed the surroundings. Cherry, expatting upon every feature with the fervor of a land agent beat on weaving his spell about a prospective buyer. And in truth she had chosen well for the conditions seemed ideal. "I've watched you," and I know you are down on your luck for some reason," the girl said. "You've been miscast, somehow, and you've had the heart taken out of you, but I am sure it in you to succeed, for you're young and itselfself, cool and determined. I am giving you this chance to play the biggest game of your life and dress in eight short months, every trace of failure. But not doing it, altogether unsuccessfully, for I believe you've been to Kirkby's work out your own salvation and mills, and that of poor George Ball, whom you've never seen. system. The odd conviction grew upon her that he was working against time, that these had a limit to his period of action, for the occasion obeyed thy an over-giving passion to accomplish some with skill in given time and had an indifferent issue, lately which he had plumured, if she was dumfounded, by his sudden transformation, and delighted at last, but later, when she saw that he regarded her only, as a means to an end, his cool assumption of leadership, plugged her and she felt hurt. Constantine had been seat for Balt with instructions to keep on until he found the fisherman even if the quest carried him over, the range. During the days of impatience waiting they occupied their time, later in recoonerting the nearest cannery, permission from the watchman, who was indicted to her. The man was timid at first, but Emerson was him over, then proceeded to pump him dry of information, as he had done with his fixtures. Fraser looked on in bewilderment at the change in Emerson. "What have you done to 'Frozen Amble?' he asked Cherry on one occasion. "You must have fed him a speed ball, for I never saw a guy gear up so fast. Why, he was the darnest crap hanger I ever met till you got him gingered up. He didn't have no more spirit than a sick kitten." Fraser them eved the girl keenly. "This is a lonely place for a woman like you," he said, and our mutual friend ain't altogether unattractive, eh? Cherry's cheeks fumed, but her tone was哭, "This is entirely a business matter." "Him! I ain't never heard you touted none as a business woman" said the adventurer. "Have you ever heard me?" the color faded from the girl's face, and it was a trite drawn—"discussed in any way." "You know, Emerson makes me uncomfortable sometimes, he is so d—d moral." Fraser replied indirectly. "He won't stand for anything off color. He's a real square guy, he is, the kind you read about." "You didn't answer my question," insisted Cherry. Again Fraser evided the issue. "Now, if this Marah is going after you in earnest this summer, why don't you let me stick around until spring and look out your game!" I'll drop a monkey wrench in his gear case or put a spider in his dumpling, and it's more than an even shot that if him and I got to know each other right well I'd own his cannery before fall." "Thank you; I can take care of myself," said the girl. Late one starry night—Constantine had been gone a week—the two men whom they were expecting blew in through the "blinding another." Batt refused rest or nonjailment, until he had learned why Cherry had sent for him. As briefly as possible she sultined the situation. Boyd Emerson saw a huge, barrel chested creature whose tremendous muscles bulged beneath his nondescript garments, whose red, unstanding bristles of hair tipped a leather countenance from which gleamed a pair of the most violent eyes. Emerson had over behold, the dominant expression of which the rage of the men was the demeaning of drumming milks. He might have lived forty, forty years, but every year had been given to the sea; its foaming violence was in his blood. As the significance of Cherry's words sank into his mind the signs of an un NEVER "I'LL OVER MY LINK TO IT." holy joy overspread the fisherman's vile heart, and his hairy paws continued to open and close hungrily. "Do you mean business?" he bellowed at Emerson. "Can you fight?" "Yes." "This gang won't stop at anything," warned Balt. "Neither will I," armored the other, with a scowl and a dangerous down drawing of his up-corvers. "I've got to win, so don't waste, any time wondering how far I'll go. What I want to know is if you will join my enterprise." "I'll give my life to it." "I know you would," nashed Cherry, "and if we don't beat Wills Marsh, by glory, I'll kill him." Bals shouted, fully capable of carrying out his threat; for his bloodnot eye were lift with litter hattened. Turning to the gait, he said, "Now give me something to eat. I've been living on; don't ill my belly, is full of bones." Love after Cherry had gone, to bed she heard the murmur of their voices. "If's all arranged," she said, "We leave to their home." "Now we are schod blankly, we heart in the morning. We have had this to wash." She sat in a sudden dread at her heart. What if she killed and did not re- ward? What if some noteworthy part should overtake them in the outward trip? What if a noteworthy lorraine, and George, Bald with the most reddest man on the Dering coast. Everyone nastly added to her marry!" We will tell the small boat at Kate sal. "Katharine, we urge the warship wildly with her warship and them with her warship." by. "Too know better than to suggest such a thing." I didn't suggest it. "Add Ball." "The ball." I said it. "The ball." I said it. "The ball." I said it. "The ball." I know you are so careful, add the girl, a new note, of mistra) tenderness in her voice. "Nonsense." We've all taken bigger risks before." "Do you know" she also began hesitantly, "you've been, thinking, that, perhaps, you'd better, not, take up, this enterprise, after all" "I like; my last chance also." Boyd broke in. "A few days ago you were a stranger; now you are a friend," she said steadily. "One's likes and dislikes, grow rapidly, when they are not cooked by convention. I like you too well to see you do this. You are too good a man to become the prey of those people. Remember George Balt." "Balt hasn't started yet. For the man he is a real menace to Willis Marsh." "Won't you take my advice, and reconsider," urged the girl. "Listen," said the young man. "I came to this country, with a definite purpose in mind, and I had three years in which to work it out. I needed money—God, how I needed money. They may talk about the sunlitness of robes and tell you that men labor not for the sake, but for the pursuit; not for the scarcity, but for the content. Maybe some of them do, but with me if it was gold I needed, gold I had to have, and I didn't care much I had to work, but I needed power upon my desire, but, as course, was on my course, nothing less. At first I took prefereenza philosophically, but when it came and sleep with me I began to raise it. It was terrifying because my time was shortening, and the last day of grace was raining toward me. "Just to show you what luck I play in," at Dawson I found a prospect that would have made men rich, manly, and, although such a thing had never happened, in that locality before, it pinched out, I tried again and again, and finally, found another mina, only to be robbed of it by the Canadian lawman such a manner that there was not the finest hope of my ever recovering this property. I finally shifted from mining to other ventures, and the town burned. I swoke in a midnight blizzard to see my chance for a fortune, liked-up by names, while the bliss of the water from the dremona's hoose directed 'at me' and the voice of the crowd bounded like feers. I was among the first at Nose and staked alongside the discoverers who undertook to put me in right for once; but, although the follows around me made fortunes in a day, my ground was barren and my barrow swept clean by that unseen hand, which I always felt, but could never avoid. Orico (shaken and snailed) in a race to the recorder's office lost me a fortune; at another time a corrupt judge plunged me from certainty to despair, and all the while my time was growing shorter and I was growing poorer. "Two hours after the Topkok strike was made I drove past the shaft, but the one partner known to me had gone to the cabin to build a fire and the other one led to me, thinking I was a stranger. I heard afterward that just as I drove away my friend came to the door and called after me, but the day was bitter, and my cars were muffled with fur, while the dry snow beneath the runners shrieked so that it drowned his cries. He chased me for a mile to make me rich, but the hand of fate lashed my dogs faster and faster, while the hollow screeching outdid him. Six hours later Topkok was history. You've seen someone understand. "My name became a byword and caused people to laugh, though they shrank from me, for miners and sailors are equally superstitious. No man ever had more opportunities than I and no man was ever so miserably unfortunate in missing them. In time I became whipped, utterly without hope. Yet almost from habit I fought on and on with my cars deaf to the voices that mocked me. "And something tells me that I have left that ill oomed thing behind at last, and I am going to win!" "But you’re too late," suggested Cherry. "You say your time was up some time ago." "Perhaps," he returned, staring into the distance. "That’s what I was going out to ascertain. I thought I might have a few days of grace allowed me. That’s why I can’t quit, now that you’re set me in motion again, now that you’re given me another chance. That’s why we leave tomorrow and go by way of the Katrina coast." [TO BE CONTINUED.] Man Hear Lecture on Sign Painting. The man of the Carlton avenue branch.

QUESTION OF NEGRO BISHOPS At Twenty-sixth Annual Meeting Episcopal Church Works Among Colored People Indores Action of Their North Carolina Browns in Referance to Official Postage. The twenty-fifth annual conference of religious workers of the Episcopal church among colored people began its sessions in Trinity cathedral, Cleveland, O. on Tuesday evening, Sept. 27. The conference will be in session for four days. The principal address of welcome to the conference was delivered by the Right Rev. William A. Leonard, D. D. bishop of the diocese, who was followed by the dean of Trinity cathedral, who bade the conference welcome on behalf of his congregation. The annual sermon, which was listened to by a vast audience, was preached by the venerable Archdeacon kinsell of southern Virginia. The subsequent sessions of the conference REV. ROBERT W. BIGNALL. were held in St. Andrew's church, of which the Rev. Robert W. Bignall is the rector. The organization is composed of the priests and other workers who are assigned to duty among colored congregations, most of whom are members of the race. Various papers were read and discussed with reference to practical questions in connection with church extension among the colored race. It was the first time, in the history of the conference, that if has ever met in the state of Ohio. It was in and from an institution located within the bunga of this diocese that more than fifty years ago the first colored man ever made a priest in the Episcopal church graduated from the full course of an Episcopal seminary. This man was the late William Johnson Alston a native of North Carolina, who, leaving his native state, went to Ohio and graduated from Kenyon college in 1850. Since then there have been colored men who have graduated from every Episcopal theological seminary in the country, save one in Virginia and one in Tennessee. The principal question which occuplied the attention of the conference ```markdown ``` REV. GEORGE P. HEADGREEN was that of "Negro bishops," The conference is committed to the proposition of having Negro bishops for the colored work, and as the national body of the Episcopal church convenes a week later in the city of Cincinnati it is quite likely that action will be taken in that direction. The sentiment of the conference on this question was tersely expressed in a recent resolution of the Negro convocation of North Carolina to which it declared. "We are unequivocally in favor of a missionary jurisdiction or districts for the Negro race, with a Negro bishop and we do not infancy send a favor a suffraan Bishop for the work among Negroes." Among some of the more prominent leaders in the association are the Rev. Henry L. Phillips, D. D. Rector of the Church of the Oraculation, Philadelphia, who is the senior Negro patient in this country and also president of the conference, the Rev. George T. Treggs, Dr. D. D. Rector of St. James Church, Baltimore general, secretary and lifesignpost of the conference; the Venerable Brandeau of St. Louis; the Jacksonville Fla. who is vice president of theislamist ```markdown ``` ARCHDACON R. R. BENNETT B. Delaney of North Carolina, for many years vice principal of St. Augustine's school, Raleigh, N. C. The conference as an organization working for the moral and religious settlement of our people under the special auspices of the Episcopal church has been a brilliant success, and knotty problems have been unravelled by those in charge of the work, where the interest of the race was at stake. Another special benefit which has come to us is the race from the very cordial relations which our men sustain to the white peoples is the fact that the desires and aspirations of the race have been better understood by the white people, and our cause thereby has been helped. The question of having a colored manas a bishop over the work among our people is one which we feel sure will receive due consideration. There is no risk to be run by such an appointment, as we have men fully capable in every way to fill such a station with dignity and with credit to all concerned. AFRO-AMERICAN WOMAN WINS HEAVY DAMAGES. Richmond (Va.) Traction Company Forced to Pay Miss Sharp $2,500. Further proceedings were denied on Sept. 17 by the supreme court in the case of Miss Irene Sharp against the Richmond (Va.) Traction company and Henry T. Wickham and William Northrop, receivers. The company took an appeal from the verdict of the law and equity court of the city of Richmond, which was refused. Miss Irene Sharp is an elderly African-American woman who was injured by a fall from a Broad and Main car at Seventh and Broad streets on Feb. 10, 1905. She was a passenger on the car, the evidence showing that she got up to follow the other persons to the street. When she had placed one foot on the ground and fired, the car started, and she was thrown to the ground and seriously and permanently injured. The conductor said in defense that he gave the signal to go ahead and then saw that the woman was preparing to leave the car. He told her she and gave the signal and she stood and did not think she would attempt to light. She said for $2,500 damages, the jury awarding her the full amount. BIG EDUCATIONAL RALLY. Generous Financial Aid Given Eight Worthy Young Women. The testimonial reception and educational rally held at the Bocheda Baptist church, New Rochelle, N. Y., on Thursday evening, Sept. 20, was a grand success. The affair was given for the purpose of raising funds to assist eight ambitions young women through school. Miss F. Willa Dayis was one of the prime factors in the movement, and it is encouraging to note that she would cooperate and be received from her co-presenters and the general public. The young women in whose honor the testimonial was given are the following: Misses Julia Trent, Kate Watson, Rosa Flowers, Maggie Foster, Nellia Burnette, Lillian Corbette, Nettie Benjamin and Lillian Mosca. Scientific Course of Instruction. The Armstrong Manual Training school of Washington has added a new course of instruction to its excellent list of subjects this fall, which falls to become very popular as well as helpful. It might be called a course in aviation. Of course no attempts at flight will be made, but the principles of propelling an airship through its natural medium will be taught by means of a small model, which travels along a wire, its motor being driven by electricity. Leatures on European Boesen. Rev. John C. Love, D. D., of Montclair, N. J., is arranging to give the public a series of illustrated lectures this fall and winter in which he will present scenes from the various cities visited by blint during his recent tour of Europe. He will also tell of the habits and customs of the people, their capacity as wage earners and mode of living as compared with similar classes of wage earners in the United States. The story of his trip will no doubt be interesting. All Quail Along the Pacific.

SATURDAY....OCTOBER 1, 1910. We all make mistakes, but we should profit by them. The New National Party will either capture the Republican Party or勾扎定帅 or it will fight it. Some folks are not satisfied unless they are "fussing" and they are and others are not satisfied when they are "fussing." Col Roosevelt always want to be in "a scrap." We doubt if he would be satisfied in Heaven for the reason that there is peace there --- There are thousands of people who say that the Taft administration has been a failure and the Republican State Conventions are all endorsing this same administration. --- We return thanks for an invitation to be present at the Appalachian Exposition on Tennessee Press Association Day. Friday September 30 1910. Knoxville, Tennessee. --- We have received an invitation to the Seventh Anniversary of Pastor W. T. Coleman of the First Baptist Church Raleigh, N. C., beginning September 26, 1910, endjpg October 2, 1910. We puturn thanks for an invitation to be present at the Annual Commencement Exercises of the Fruderick Douglass Memorial Hospital, Philadelphia, Pa. to be held Wednesday, October the fifth, 1910 in the Amphitheatre. THE DEMOCRATS IN MISSOURI The Democratic State Convention adopted a plank in its platform pledging itself not to pass any "Jim Crow" legislation in that state and not to disfranchise the Negroes. This is a to indicate that there is a growing understanding between the better class of Democrats and the better class of colored people. We have known this for some time, but we had no idea that this feeling, and gained such headway as to gain recognition in a party platform. We see the announcement made that it was inserted-there to catch Negro votes. We are of this opinion but it is going to catch them and when it catches them in sufficient numbers there will be some interesting stories to tell. All Democrats are not lissy any more than all Republicans are truthful men. The action of the Democratic Convention in Missouri is a good omen and this action should be followed up in some other states. Just as white votes were formerly caught by condemning the Negroes black votes are to be caught by praising them. Some of these "milk and water" Republicans are actually ashamed to be seen talking to a colored man and some of the most radical Democratic white ones will stand for an hour on a street corner discussing affairs with them. We take it that it is simply a difference "in the breed of dogs." THE ODD FELLOWS AT BALTIMORE. We learn with regret of the official domine of our editorial friend, Hon. J. C. Abursy of the Philadelphia Old Fellows Journal. It seems to us that it is rather hard on him after his years or tooll in promoting the success of that enterprise that he should have been uncorromotion disposed of both as to office and official prominence in the Order. We confess that we have never witnessed such bitterness between members of a fraternal order SHUl, we are of the opinion that our distinguished friend blundered. He had worked up a delegation of remarkable strength in the interest of his candidacy as Most Worshipful Grand Master of this noble order and it seems to us that he should have nailed his banner to the start and gone down fighting. As it was, he stepped aside for the Roy. E. P. Jones, one of the ablest organizers of our race in this country and a man of tireless energy and great ability. Candidate Jones could not win and it was plainly demonstrated that the situation was not one whit improved by the trade. The opposition "got the whip-handle" and prevented Mr. Aubury from falling back to the position he had virtually rolled insulted by his candidacy. We are of the opinion that this was his tactical mistake. It was an imitation of the action of Candidate Jones at Richmond, Va. when he accepted the position of fraternal delegate and rolled insulted thereby all right-title and interest in the race for the leading position of the Order. Some of his followers have never forgiven him for this. Mr Asbury is now in the same predicament and we wish him well. He has many admirers in this state. As for Attorney Edward B. Morris of Chicago, who was elected, nothing need be said. His record speaks for itself He is able, worthy and affable. His name alone will command respect and no reproach can attach itself to them by virtue of his selection to the position of chief officer in the Order. The administration's forces showed rage judgment in putting him forward as a candidate for the reason that despite all criticism as to how it was done, the man selected should have been the choice of any disliked electorate. He measures up with our distinguished friend Ashbury in every respect and we could safely swap the one for the other and go on to success. We hope the day will come when the material interests of the Order will be considered and that the work of office-seeking will be secondary at these biennial gatherings. The body is large and unwieldy and there is no prospect in the face of present conditions that the distinguished barrister or any one else will be able to lead it to the table-land of peace and prosperity where the winds of discord and the storms of hatred will not disturb and annoy the hundreds of shouting delegates who have gone on before. After reading the Boston, Massachusetts Guardian for several years, we have become thoroughly convinced that Mr. William Monroe Troster will never secure an appointment at Tuskegee Institute under Dr. Booker T. Washington and that he will never hold a government job under other President Taft or the to be President Reesevelt. It seems to us that Dr. Washington would be justified in coming from Europe to prevent his confirmation by the United States Senate, even were he nominated for a position requiring action by that body. Mr. Troster's hatred and contempt for the "ward of Tuskegee" is so lamented that he actually publishes a number of articles. Washington, which he obtained from some sources that make him look like a man desiring from the hands of justice, and on every occasion possible, re-produced, that cut. There are some annual alms to Mr. William Monroe, Treasurer of the Boston Guardian. M. Taft Confers With Cabinet. Governor Hughes, of New York, was the only one mealtoned for chief justice of the supreme court at the cabell meeting in the White House at Washington. The governor's qualifications were discussed at considerable length, but nothing definite came from it. The names of several other man were taken under consideration as possibilities for other vacancies on the supreme court bench. These included United States Senator George Sutherland, of Utah; Cancellor Fitzman, of Oregon; and Justice James L. R. V. Lindsay, also of the latter state. The consideration of these names would seem to indicate that the president desires to give the Third and the Eighth judicial circuits representation upon the supreme court bench. This is the first time that Senator Sutherland has been mentioned as a possibility. The senator is a member of the Ballinger-Pinchot investigating committee. He was elected to the United States senate in 1804 and his term will expire next March. Since the rotatiment of John C. Spooner from the University of Hawaii, he and together with Elsie Hoo, have been edged as the mainstay of the Republican side in the argument of constitutional questions. Young Girl Brutally Slain. Elizabeth Anderson, aged sixteen, regarded as one of the most beautiful girls of Goderich, Ont., was found murdered in a deserted house on the outskirts of the town. Her father, Wesley Anderson, led the searching party. Miss Anderson disappeared shortly after heon seen in conversation with a woman he met in a ward evening. Then her father got a few friends to unite with him in the search, which was soon joined by hundreds. The body was found in a dark corner of a cellar, buried under a pile of clothing. The young woman's throat was apparently with a heavy knife, or possibly an axe, and her body was horribly mutilated. Baltimore Loses Position. Baltimore, which was the sixth city in the United States in point of population in 1900, has lost her position in the country's great cities, according to census statistics, and now becomes the seventh city, having in the last ten years been outpatied by Cleveland. Baltimore's population is now 558, 485, as compared with Cleveland, 550,663. The Maryland city grew 9.7 per cent, or in numbers 49,528, during the past ten years, having 608,957 in 1900. Cleveland, which had a population of 313,768 in 1900, grew 469 per cent in the decade just ended. **Dead Man's Heard Found On Body.** A premature explosion in Storrs No. 1 mine, at Scratton, Pa., brought death to John Monica, aged forty-four years, a miner. When his body was removed from the mine and his pockets searched he was found to be a travelling bank. In the early 1900s, he was carried over $1600 in $50 and $20 bills. Menica's widow was almost paralyzed with astonishment when the money was handed to lier. Her husband had been a murderer, puzzled him to make both ends meet. TO KEEP TAB ON LOANS Central- Credit Bureau Will Record Borrowed of National Banks: To prevent corporations, firms and individuals from borrowing to the extent of their credit in their own cities, then going elsewhere and doing the same, Comptroller of the Currency Murray has decided upon the establishment of a central credit bureau in Washington, where borrowings from national banks. The credit bureau will be located in the office of the comptroller. The necessity for its establishment arises from the fact that often the local borrowings of institutions are to the extent of their ability to pay, and obligations of which the national bank examiners have no knowledge exist in other districts the effect to intimate the solvency of the national banks. CONFORT LITERARY CIRCLE Beginning Business with Brilliant Program Miniature Classical Dialect Audience The opening speech of the Concord Literary Circle, Brooklyn, was held on Thursday, evening, Sept. 21. An applause audience was present to enjoy, the spandex program which was rendered. Mr. Bartlett Godson provided, and also delivered the Inventory address. Mr. Darry Blahke foster rendered a very pleasing, vocal solo, which was followed by an original composition by Mr. JeanHumann delyellow as a demonstration. The work, showed careful preparation, depth of thought and logical reasoning from specific viewpoints. The next speaker was Mr. Edward L. Pancock whose (beside) was help ```markdown ``` by personal contact with persons and things of an elevating character. He urged the people to be 'careful of the kind of company they keep, to read good books and to make good use of every opportunity. The climax of interest and contribution is when Miss Rossoa B. Collard, formerly of Lima, was introduced and heard in the condition of one of her classical vocal selections. She has a most charming soprano voice, which 'the well commands and her 'sidence at will. Miss Collard' also has much of the dramatic style in her platform movements, which adds considerably to her vocal ability. She delicately her hairs and was obliged to respond to several encounters. She is a graduate of the high school of her native town. Michigan May Follow Example of Massachusetts and New Jersey. Under the election "This is a Democratic Year, the Detroit (Mich.) informer says." "Every election held thus far this year, has either brought success to the Democrats or largely increased their strength at the polls." "Early in the year two Republican congressional districts in Massachusetts and New Jersey respectively returned Democratic majorities. But the war between the 'regular' Republicans and 'insurgent' Republicans went more and more toward Democratic landslide is reported from Maine." "We can see nothing but Democratic victory all along the line in November." "Even in orthodox Republican Michigan we expect to see the people rebels against corporate greediness and political rule, and retire the rulers who have been elected to office by electing the Democratic ticket, incomplete as it is." REV. D. J. JENKINS ENDS TOUR Received Generous Assistance From Members of the Race. The northern tour of the Rev. D. J. Jenkins of Charleston, B. G., which he began the first week in June, has been most successful. Rev. Mr. Jenkins has visited nearly every large city from Pennsylvania through to Massachusetts in the interest of the Jenkins orphanage. His labors in lectures and sermons and addresses have been principally among our people, and his report of their loyalty and liberality is highly gratifying. Out of more than £2,000 in cash which he received and sent to the orphanage at Charleston three weeks ago, he donated to the colored people. Rev. Mr. Jenkins is now at home enjoying a much needed rest. Bathel Literary Society Opens Oct. 4. The opening meeting of Bothel Library and Historical society, Washington, has been announced for Tuesday. Rev. Oct. 4. Dr. William E. B. Dubble of New York will be the chief speaker. Dr. Dubbis will give full details of the "new forward movement." President Garnet C. Wilkinson has outlined a very interesting series of lectures and addresses for the coming season. Corporal Jones Wen in Rifle Contest. Corporal, Franklin R. Jones of Company C, Twenty-fourth United States infantry, proved his claims to recognition as an expert markman in the recent contest held at Pine Camp, New York. Mr. Jones won second place and was given the title of expert markman. Freddie D. Clark, Dead. Theodore R. Clark, auditor, general of Delaware, and first nominated by the Republic, state convention, died and ashes at Delaware City of a complication of diseases. He was seventy two years old and as speaker of the Delaware house kept Addison from going to the Wesleyan senate in 1892. A TROPICAL COUNTRY. We woke early and found that we were rapidly approaching New Orleans. The low country, the thick grass and foliage, the peculiar growth told us that we were at last on the outskirts of a tropical country. We wore now traveling over the L. and N. R.-R. We awe a vast expanse of water which rounded us of Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va. Colored folks and tourists were evidence. evidence. Buffet service was in evidence and a cup of tea or coffee served. We patronized our lunch box for breakfast and drew on the buffet for liquid refreshment, which neither intoxicates nor injures the brain. THE·LADIES' OBSERVATIONS. The night before, some white ladies were laughing and enjoying themselves. One of them, a brunette as dark as some colored, folks we know had made some remark. We heard her say, "I am surprised and especially in Georgia and Alabama. I up and took notice. She was referring to us. Several white gentlemen were in the party. Later, she asked one of the ladies if she had read "The Man in Lower 10." As we had published this story in the columns of the PLANET and it was a case of a passenger being found murdered in a car. We were very comfortable over the allusion. It were off though and we slept as peacefully as a babe that night. HAD CHANGED HER OPINION.

UNION MEN BACK UP EMPLOYERS Leaders Say It Marks Growth of Fairness Toward Companies That Pay the Wages—Represent 350,000 Workmen. The most significant council of railroad employer ever held in this country is at the Amsterdam Opera House in New York, the chief of the four great organizations of railroad workmen to go to Washington and appeal to the government of the United States for a square deal to their employers. The meeting, was characterized by the brotherhoods themselves as the most momentous since the first spree was driven into the first road for these reasons: "It was the first out and out pronouncement that the interests of employer and employees are identical". It was the first time, the power of the unions ever united to back up the railroad companies by going direct to the government. It marked, as the leaders of the brotherhood agreed, the growth of a spirit of fairness and mutuality toward the companies that pay the wages. It served notice that, while the brotherhoods are not minded to be tags for any political party, they intend to scrutinize the attitude of candidates for office (particularly for federal office) as to how employers as well as employees shall be treated by the lawmakers and law authorities. Three thousand delegates, representing the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers, the Order of Railway Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, gathered at the Amsterdam Opera House, listened to speeches from Waren B. Stone, grand chief of the engineers; A.R. Gorstroem, president of the conductors; W. "O. Lee," president of the trainmen; P. H. Morrisier, president of the American Railroad Investors' and Employees' association; G. H. Slinen, vice president of the trainmen, and other executives. The delegates came with the authority from 250,000 railroad workmen on sixty-three railroads east of the Mississippi river, and they represented 2,000,000 voters dependent for a livelihood on the railroad companies. After a four hours' conference they addressed a memorial to President Taft, the interstate commerce commissioner, for making bodies. The memorial contains resolutions which support the proposal of the railroad companies that they be permitted to make a reasonable increase in rates. The brotherhoods didn't take action suddenly or tumultuously. The proposal to stand by the companies had been talked over for several months in the lodges. It had been threshed out thoroughly, and the delegates came to the council with one idea in mind, that the employees were in the same boat as the companies. They were in absolute harmony on all of the issues up at the meeting. These were that. Everything the railroads must buy had gone up in price and the only thing that they sell has gone down. The companies are required to make a greater outlay every year for perfected service, safety appliances, wages and supplies. The rates now permitted are too low to enable the companies to make a fair profit, pay fair wages or to continue to provide high class service to the public. The employees can obtain fair wages only by supporting the companies in an appeal to the government to authorize them to experience has shown to be necessary. The companies need the backing of their employees, especially in view of the constant agitation of manufacturers' associations, jobbers, middleness and politicians for still lower rates. 39 Killed In Wreck. Thirty-nine persons were killed and seven or more badly injured when a southbound limited and a northbound local car on the Wabash Valley traction line collided near Kingland, just north of Wayne, Indiana. The accident occurred on short curve and many of the bodies were so mangled that identification was difficult. Hardly any of the passengers in the two cars escaped injury, but the less seriously hurt gave what assistance they could, and in a few moments they could, and in a few moments were carried to the hospital placed along the track. Three others were so plowed in the debris that they could not be removed. Ullr breaking crew arrived upon the scene. Dearly Teachable Kill You.

For the last few weeks, hundreds of people in Cambighe, county have been going into the woods and fields for mushrooms. Christianity and his wife Christy gathered a basket, of what he thought were mushrooms and took them home. His wife, prepared them for supper, using a large quantity of rayson pepper in the sauce. When they were put on the table one of the children tasted them and complained because the pepper burned his tongue. The other five children refused to touch them at all. Christy and his wife ate heartily. They were sailed with severe pains, Dr. J. C. McMillen and Dr. J. H. Wood were called and decided immediately that the supposed mushrooms were toadstools, but the man and woman failed to respond to treatment and both died. G. A. R. Elesta New Chief. John E. Gliman, of Boston, was elected as commander-in-chief of the G. A. R. for the coming year at the encampment at Atlantic City. John McElroy, of Washington, was the only other candidate. He withdrew his name before the valloing bogan. The veterans of the G. A. R. grasped the business problems confronting them in their national encampment and went about other matters affectively to make the present meeting a complete success. Rochester, N. Y., will 'in all probability be the next encampment site of the Grand Army. The veterans voted to go to the Empire State city ifable railroad rates can be secured. If this isn't possible the matter is entirely in the hands of the commander-in-chief and the executive committee. Los Angeles, Cal., put up a good fight for the 1911 meet, but after the first ballot Rochester was chosen, with the transportation proviso. Two Men Die In Old Wall. Andrew Sipe and John Spangler, aged respectively fifty-five and sixty years, of Yocumtown, near York, Pa., lost their life in an old well at Base Horse store. Oil had soaked into the well from a tank and Sipe undertook to clean it. He threw down a quantity of straw and then set fire to it so as to get rid of the oil and gas which had gathered there. After he thought the well was all burned out he fastened a rope to a roller and proceeded to go down. He had not gone far when Spangler notified that he dropped. Sipe made frightful signs for help and Spangler started down after him. He had gone only a short distance when he met with the same fate. The men, who were the men, had to doubt, become stuffed by the gas formed after the straw and oil had been burned. Both men were dead by the time they were reached. How Pennsylvania Cities Grow.

We Must Have Leaders of Thought and Teachers of Truth, Says President Searborough of Wilberforce. BY N. BARNETT-DOISON. Nothing is more significant of the lively interest which the race is taking in the cause of education than the hearty financial support which it renders constantly through the channels of the various churches. Every denomination has its special educational interests to which it contributes either annually or at some stated period during the year. One of the best systems of ruling funds for educational work is to be found in the A. M. E. church, which observes regularly what is popularly known as educational day throughout the denomination. At such times special efforts are made to raise (hay voluntary contributions for the most part) means with which to assist other educational institutions as are under the fostering care of the denomination. Among these schools are Wilberforce an emeritus, O. of which Professor William S. Scarborough is president; Morris Brown college, Atlanta, O. Gittrell school, in North Carrollia, and Edwaters college, in Texas. The day was generally observed this year on Sunday, Sept. 18. Reports so far, of the amounts raised by the churches are very favorable. Coming just about the opening of the schools for the fall term, this financial aid gives the trustees of the school a clever idea how to estimate or apportion funds to the various institutions. In apposition to the students of Wilberforce at the opening of the term recently President Scarborough said: "The educational world today is turning its attention more and more to the individual, to the making of worthy human beings, to intelligent race col- PRESIDENT W. S. BOARDROUCH. ture, to recognizing the worth of both hardship and environment as factors in the molding of each human life. "So our schools are being considered more and more an safe investment to educators everywhere are asking what is best to be done to be able to meet the life that must be lived in the world and how best to prepare for it. "True educators are always seakers after truth and today they are endeavoring to make school and practical life join hands as we push on into wider fields of knowledge. "To my mind there is no greater thing than to have such training that the human 'soul blossoms out into a character in which all forces are grasped and combined, so as to lay hold of all that goes to artistic character building for a race. We as a people need this particular training. We need just such artistic work. "We must have leaders of thought, teachers of truth, and there is no other way to teach us by the all around training, that develop wisdom that is not only farsighted, but penetrating as well. "We must change much in the race, and we must learn in schools how this is to be done. Our training must be such as to accomplish this. The untaught, emotional masses must be made over into educated, serious, reasoning beings for our salivation as a business of our schools to show how we should "To such work our institution, Wilberforce university, is committed." Wilberforce university stands today for the education of the whole man—the head the heart and the hand. We lay here special stress upon the fact that the future of the Negro people depends almost entirely upon its trained men and women—men and women of brain, of culture and of strong, sturdy character, who lead the lead in shaping its dexing. "More than ever the Negro must depend upon himself, must look to his own leadership for guidance, and God forbid that this should be other than a wise one—the very best along all lines that the race can afford." --- U.

GOVERNOR STUART Attended Unveiling of Soldiers Monument at Gettysburg [Image of a man with a bald head and a serious expression. The background is plain white. There are no other discernible details or text.] --- DEDICATE SHAFT AT GETTYSBURG Old Soldiers From All Parts of Pennsylvania. Attend. RECEIVED BY GOV. STUART Unvelling of Battlefield Monument Took Place in Drenching Rain—is 69. Feet High and Cost $150,000. Standing in a blistering summer sun during the early part of the ceremonies and in a drenching rain toward the end, 20,000 Pennsylvanians, one-fourth of them Civil War veterans, attended the impressive dedication of the memorial erected by Pennsylvanians to her sons, fought at Gettysburg forty-seven years ago. The unpleasant weather did not in any degree lessen the enthusiasm of the veterans. Only one or two were prostrated by the heat. When the rain started to fall General Gregg was speaking. Saying that he did not wish to keep his comrades in the wet he was about to stop, when from a distance, he heard the old soldiers stood in the pouring rain, entirely oblivious to their discomfort. Pennsylvania was represented by many of her most prominent sons in present day life and by practically all of her men of Civil War fame who are now living. The strong which viewed the ceremonies completely covered the broad expanse of ground immediately surrounding the monument and extended in the direction of the famous Bloby Angle. No display or orientation marked the ceremonies. There was no parade, no salute. The veterans went to the scene of the dedication singly or in groups, while the orators and others who took part in the activities of the day were convoiced to the monument without scout. The only touch of the spectacular was given when the students from Gettysburgh College marched to the memorial carrying aloft their college colors and each wearing a band of orange and blue. One hundred of their number were on the program to sing "Angel of Peace," and as the students marched from East Cemetery Hill to the Pennsylvania monument over the ground occupied by the Union army when Pickett's mighty charge was repulsed, they sang to stirring march time "Hall, Columbia." The band from the Soldiers' Orphan Industrial school at Scotland, Pen, opened the program with music and the prayer was made by Chaplain M. B. Riddle. General H. S. Huldecker, president of the commission which had in charge the erection of the monument and all arrangements for the dedication, made the address turning over the memorial to Governor Stuart, representing the state of Pennsylvania. Monument Cost $150,000. The monument itself, which was erected at a cost of $165,000, is the most magnificent of the more than 500 memorials which dot the battlefield. The monument rests in the center of Pennsylvania park and towers sixty-nine feet in the air, and is forty foot square. It is of granite, surmounting a parapet eight-four foot square, enclosed in a stone coping. in inches in which are numerous bronze tablets bearing inscriptions. It is built in the form of a hollow square, a high arch opening from each of the four sides, each fopped by huge rifles, and the whole structure is topped by a dome on which is pitched a figure symbolizing viability and the iron cannon against the Cold War. The memorial contains the records of the Pennsylvania commands which took part in the battle. There were sixty-nine regiments of infantry, nine of cavalry and seven batteries of artillery.

GROWTH OF MEN'S SUNDAY CLUB Thrifty Organization Combines Business With Pleasure. Thrifty Organization Combines Business With Pleasure. --- PLAN AND SCOPE OF ITS WORK Founded Seven Years Ago For the Advancement of its Members in Intelligence, Social Intercourse and in Business, the Men's Sunday Club Has Met With Merited Success. The Men's Sunday club of Yonkers, N. Y., is one of the most thrifty and substantial organizations of its kind of which we know. It was organised seven years ago. The object of the club is for the general intellectual, social and business improvement of its members. The idea of such a club had its inception in the thrift and industry of Francis J. Moultrie, a prominent and well do citizen of the town. The plan and scope of the work to be accomplished by the organization was outlined of John E. Bruce, the well known newspaper correspondent and author of the book entitled, "Eminent Negro Men and Women." Outline of Plan and Scope. All Afro-American male citizens of good character, regardless of church affiliation, may be admitted to membership. That they be asked and required to pay an entrance fee of 3 cents per week or $1.56 per year dues. That they be asked and required to pay 30 cents additions to their membership, and be deposited with the treasurer and by him placed in a reliable bank to the credit of the Men's Sunday club. When $1,500 has accumulated this amount should be expended toward the purchase of a site for a public hall as a home for the club. Mr. Bruce's idea is to make the entrance fee and the dues so low that they would be within the reach of every poor man. The value of $5 each shall be the number which each member is expected to purchase, but no member is compelled to purchase more than this. The maximum number of certificates which any member may own is $100 worth, and this inhibition is urged for the purpose of encouraging the thrifty and industrious to join the club and become equal partners in a great scheme to erect a public hall. The club has grown and prospered and is in a flourishing condition at the present time. Club's Property Holdings. By closely following its system of paying dues the club soon raised $1,500, which was increased by $200 raised at a rally. President Moultrie, who is also treasurer of the club, made a deposit of $3,000 on the purchase of a $12,000 property on Now Main street, the most prominent business street in Yonkers. The club contemplates converting the lower floor of this building into a hall temporarily or into a store, which can be rented at a good profit. Recently there has been added to the club a women's auxiliary, made up of the wives, mothers and daughters of the members. The ladies have raised hundreds of dollars and are far, and away ahead of the men as ingroupers of the coin of the realm. The permanent organization of the club was effected with the following charter members: Francis J. Moultrie, president and treasurer; Sterling Lambert, vice president, and John E. Bruce, secretary. The trustees are Charles E. Scott, Joseph H. Kelly, Charles Conlch, Ert; William Jones, Jnr; Matthew Overton, H. Morgan, Robert Carson, J. W. Age and John Cooley. These are the men who are responsible for what the men club has achieved thus far. The members of the club are no longer active, interest in them abates. It is still virile and vigorous and will yet, it is hoped, accomplish the object which called it into being.

How the Hostess May Easily Evolve Something Attractive for Lunch-onsa, Teas and Dinners Connected With Marriage. Every hostess takes pride in inverting novel and pretty decorations for her luncheon, tea and dinner, and she takes special pride when the guest of honor is a young bride or brides-to-be. It is never a difficult master to evoke something attractive for a testy, chicened with, with mirrors, or there are so many chasing designs that can be used - cuppies, heart-shaped bells, wedding rings and the like. At a recent lunchoon given for an engaged girl, the color scheme was pinkish, white, pink being the ravishing color of the birdie effect. The hostess was the latter's clogged friend and all the guests were intimates of the two, which made the lunchoon a very folly affair. The chandelier, above the table, was restored with pink and white tulle, and suspended from it was a large golden hoop simulating a wedding ring. From the hoop streamers of pink and white ribbon stretched to each cover, held in place, there yinyi cups, each cupid bearing a card with the name of the guest to wilt the place had been assigned. Bide roses, filled a cut glass, bowl, in the center of the table, were clustered in vases and bowls on sideboard and mantel, and nodded in banks from the low window seats.

A big flat dish of old brass, filled with yellow lady's slippers, stood in the center of the table, and a wreath of daisies and similar followed the curve of the table, just inside the plates. Daisy feastons stretched from the chandelier to the four corners of the room and daisies and black-eyed Susans and tall feathery grasses were banked on the mantelpiece and massed in earthware pots, of quaint and unusual shapes. The place cards at this lunchcon were tiny yellow satin slippers filled with rice, the little card with the name on it half bidden in the rice. Other pretty place cards for engagement or bridal luncheons are hand-painted designs showing a girl's head framed in a wedding ring, cupids peeping through a heart design, or twin hearts pierced with arrows. A woman with some skill in water, colors and a certain amount of invention can easily paint the cards for a lunchoon and, knowing the fads and fancies of her guests, can get in little personal touches that will enliven the lunchoon immensely. :RAFFIA TRIMMING THE VOGUE Gives Extremely Effective Touch to Many of the Season's Styles in Millinery. Many of the new hats in the looser weaves of straw are being trimmed very effectively in colored ruffia and velvet flowers, the ruffia being covered with not of the same shade and arranged like a scarf. Ruffia comes in nearly 25 shades, and where an unusual color must be matched, the white or natural colored can often be dyed to the exact tint. One girl tried for days to stain exactly a rather bright blue ruffia, and after failing with all sorts of paints and dyes succeeded by dipping the natural-colored grasg into ordinary washing blue. With the help of raffa and net vovy modish wals, indeed, can be trimmed entirely at home, for even the velvet flowers can be made with practice by the amateur. Often the raffa and pet will match the straw of the hat, with the flowers in another shade or jif black or white. The variations are endless, and all are pretty. This dainty waist is of white tulle with embroidered dots. "It made with tucks and trimmed with pandas of soutache, with broderer." The yoke, and cuffs, are of plain tulle, made with fine tucks. ```markdown ``` or 'black' 'ottoman' or 'beagline' are among the latest to be shown with six venerable tail finish. They are evened,ingly with whip made up with narrow flat band trimming, of satin, and finished with inch buttons of trocosested silk.—Harper's Fazar. BOXES FOR THE BRIDE'S CAKE Come in All Shapes and Birds, and Practically at Any Cost to Built. The statement that it is not what is done, but how it is done, that counts, verges on the trite; but it is particularly applicable in the little things that contribute toward a pleasant time for wedding guests. A wedding cake is no longer kept for weeks and weeks; it is cut into little pieces and seated or presented to the guests and friends of the happy pair. Just how to give this in an attractive form is sometimes a question that clamors for its answer in the rush of the last few days. Boxes can now be purchased at stationery departments of any large store and the accessories are within the reach of the majority of brides. There is a charming little circular There is a charming little circular box that looks like a miniature wed- died cake. When died with white ribbon or with the siken cords that reflect the color scheme of the decorations it is 'The ends of the into the tops of well worth having bow are gathered tiy silver bells. Perhaps the heart-shaped box of white is more appropriate. This should hold a heart-shaped piece of cake, and the top of the box should be tied down with broad ribbon, fastened under a rosette. Square forms are always good. The addition of a card with the best, wishes of the bride and bridegroom is a little personal touch that is well worth while. Through the knot of ribbon a spray of asparagus fern can be slipped. It lasts for weeks and gives the freshness that is desirable, especially for boxes that are to be sent away through the mail. To the friends who are present there can easily be given a spray of leaves with a blossom from the decoration of the table or rooms. Tied with a gold ribbon. long, narrow box will hold a fresh sprig of flowers. People like to carry with them some part of the festivities. The mania for souvenirs still prevails. Of course, the custom of having the cake cut by the bride herself can be easily observed, for during the reception following the small pleasures. As to the dreams that may come when the fair recipients sleep with the bride's cake beneath their pillows, who can tell whether they can vie with the pleasure of receiving it in so charming a form. HEALTH AND BEAUTY The best kind of a flannel for a fomentation is a place of soft old blanket, old flannel answering better than new. Remember always to dry the patient's skin carefully after removing one fomentation and before putting on the next. * A cooked potato is excellent as a means of cleaning and whitening the hands. The potato should be cut in half and rubbed over the backs and fingers, after they have been soaked for a minute or two in warm water. Potato should be used in this manner instead of soap. If the hands should have become much stained with ink they should be rubbed with lemon juice. Should this fall to remove the stains a good plan is that of adding a little pearl ash to water and dipping the hands in the solution, rubbing them well with a place of flannel until the marks have disappeared. Care must be taken to avoid washing them with soap for some time afterward or the spots will reappear. A good toilet water for summer use can be made at home of an ounce of glycerin, 19 ounces of orange-flower water and a quarter of an ounce of powdered borax. This is simply mixed by pouring the ingredients into a bottle so that it is only three parts full, and then shaking it well. A little applied to the face and hands will prevent a shiny appearance in hot weather and will not injure the pores like powder. Crocheted Whip for Baby. Girls who can crochet or knit will find a whip made of this handwork an attractive gift for a baby. The innermost part is a soft whip. This is wound around with cotton batting and then bound with a cord so that it is securely covered. Then a case for it is crocheted or knit and put on with a tassel to finish the pointed end, securely fastened on so that if the child tries to put the whip in somebody's eyes" if will not do any more harm than a soft handkerchief. Bolls are fastened on the whip part way up, and on the handle end there is a loop. The. whip must be so soft every where that it cannot possibly do any harm. It may be given separately or a set of crocheted or knitted relax. One en the Dorter.

If nothing else, demands a change of style and material. The mummas have to look up seasonable effects for these supplementary dresses, which fast- A growing, some special occasion or forgefulness at the beginning of summer has made necessary, will do well to consider the last trend of fashion: This is for collarless bodies, elbow sleeves and either the daintest of wash materials, or else summer allics of a childlike simplicity. "Thou shalt not be too fine," is Dame Fashion's first commandment in hot weather to the child, however well placed. White frocks are in her dearest favor, or else she prescribes colors of a flower delicacy and such dainty trimmingss as would be suitable, on a smaller scale, for dolls. The bebe or poupee—doll and baby—styles now distinguish all the best garments in every depart ment, worn by well-dressed little girls. In both wash materials and summer silks there are now fabulous bargains to be found in the shops, some of these in the vary newest textures, whether shown in remnants or in the piece. French porcelain in a soft, fine weave have dropped to the low price of 15 cents a yard; silk-warp dotted chiffons—likewise a cotton material—are going at 25 cents; swiss ponguette—which is an English fabric much used for the little imported frocks—also sells for 25 cents. This is 45 inches wide, so a very small quantity would be needed for the simple little frock. Polks-dot handkerchief muslin — sometimes with delicate flower sprays over the dotting—which is a delightfully cool fabric, is 18 cents a yard, and there are silk and cotton craps of French manufacture—which may be made most attractive with ribbon trimmings, priced 28 cents the yard. These are in overly color of the rainbow, and they may be trimmed with white lace or have the ribbon garment match. Indeed, there is no excuse for missy not having a fine little hot weather frock if her mother can sew, for all the models are simple to an astonishing degree, and with a little taste a very small expenditure will turn out the right thing The dress shown in the illustration, which has a Gibau bodice with Dutch neck and a skirt in box plaice, is here made of a blue and white percale, with a little white linen treated to simple hand embroidery on the bodice. All-over Hamburg embroidery, however, could very well be used here, or the waist trimming could be made in a plain color. For a girl of ten 6½ yards, 27 inches wide would be required, and since very fine little percales may be had for 12½ cents, and really beautiful inscription for 16, it can be seen how cheap the dress would be. A heavy linen or a silk with some body would likewise respond to this treatment, lace or a contrasting silk trimming the latter texture and Hamburg embroidery the former. Panama Hata Panama hats have charms that insure their long continuance in the land so long as the climate romans, as it is, for they seem to exhale the spirit of relaxation and peace that makes summer enjoyable. This year for their adorning there are new band painted India scarfs that are beautifully delicate in tone, besides an endless variety of lovely printed fabrics. Blessing in Disguise. "Your wife," remarked the next door neighbor, "used to play the piano and sing a great deal, but I haven't heard her lately." "Since the baby came," explained the husband and father, "she has had no time. "Ah I see!" rejoined the other. "Children are often a blessing in an "And was the party," "I was a hammock, that girl, and we break down," said the tall man, and taking the hammock of the department storm. "I'm sorry, miss," said rejoined, "but we haven't any stock that we could guarantee in your case." "What do you mean by my case?" asked the young lady. "Just this answered the party of the hammockwalking party. If you were a homely girl, could guarantee any hammock you might select." VERY POOR Geo. Howard!

TURN THE KERCHIEF MAY OFTEN BE MADE TO DO OTHER SERVICE. Clever Woman Can, Make, the, Little Linen Squares Play Many Parts Jabots, Aprons, Laundry Bags, Etc., May Be Made. A little handkerchief is a practical thing if you regard it through the eyes of the clever woman who makes one thing in its day play many parts. It is no unusual thing for women to pos- seas more kerchiefs than they can use. The experiment of turning the cresty, squares to other uses should be met favorably, by the fair sex. For a handmade basket holder, or really a little laundry bag, the idea is simple: gauded that will bedding the little items and a decorative place of importance in the bedroom. Two handmade cloths with scalloped edges, the unfaded when placed folded and sewed along one inch from the edge. A heading on the outside, two inches from the top, furnishes a servile place, for the drawing, a string, of ribbon, the color determined by the other furnishings of the room. Abbreviated made of thinnest kernels, all attractive gift for the needy domain. If the large nises be nought? then 'dessin' rated borders can be made to play an important part in the construction. Two edges of one square are used for the poiltid lower bottom and the sides obtained by slanting and handhanging the material. From another handkerchief the rulers can be made, and a ribbon bell and ratings made to match the colored border. A pillow for baby is easily made of four handkerchiefs and strips of insertion to form the diagonal two-tine square. Daisy and easy of construction, with patterns included pink and blue. If you wish, four handkerchiefs cannot be quite a pillow use. From a handkerchief, a baby can be a little hand can be made in shape 311 North Fourth Street, 17 minutes. One edge should be turned back, and fullness allowed for the head by gathering the rest of the square at the back; cut off the pointed flaps and sew into a narrow band of mult or ribbon. Handkerchief jabots are legion, but one has been aketched to refresh your mind, lost you forget. Lay the handkerchief in pleats to see just how much to allow for the little tabs at the top. Cat off and sew together. Ironing will give the tailored effect of a ready-made. A touch of color, if you wish, can be added by embroidering over the raised flowers or dots. Don't lot the handkerchiefs go to waste. They can be fashioned into pretty gifts for your friends, and no one will appreciate the cleverness of the idea more than recipients. Gema on Lace Restore Gown. For the restoration of an evening gown, so that it may do duty during the summer dancing season, new gems upon the lace. Laces when cleaned frequently suffice most in the elaborate gown. They are fragile and reach the repair point while the gown is still good. Then it is that glass gems or large beads come into requisition as beautifiers as well as patches. Used discreetly they will cover most successfully any small darn or rent, and will at the same time enrich and often recolor the garment. This adding of a new touch to the halfway article of apparel is frequently strenuous economy than the repositioning of a garment with new materials which usually attach almost the price of a new gown. Instead of Handwork. The woman who wants embroidered effects, that does not like a daddys work, will welcome a new silk braid that looks like a chain stitching. A braid is stamped as for ordinary embroidery and the braid is sewed on the cutliffe by hand. A few filling stitches of French knot centers incurs the effect of hand embroidery. These ords come, in colors to match most of the new shades of dress material. They are especially effective on ponges and shantung done in self-tones. MASSAGING THE EYEBROWS Care of the Faces and Nails of Little Avail! This important Feature is Neglected. Women are beginning to realize the Importance of beautifying their eyebrows and understanding now that to makecure the nails and massage the face for youthfulness, await little if such important features as brows are neglected. Massaging the brows, and applying toner must be in the daily routine of most women, and those to whom mature hair often prefers shaped brows must take care of them. In case of the brows there must be a special brush. One with blades not wired than those used on a young baby, head is the kind. When the brows are luxurious and sufficiently dark in color, it behaves a woman to keep them so. Morning and night the stubble must be wiped the sweet, shaded oil or glycerin on her fingers, tip, and the disperseur on her brows, wippe the stubble appressed in her other eyebrows, and wipe the hair from them. We Carry A choice stock of printing sundries and our supply rooms have an assortment that will please the most fastidious.

We can print any thing from a label, the size of a postage stamp to a poster as large as your front door. JOHN MITCHELL, JR., Three minutes with the brush. This treatment nourishes the hair follicles, just as the scalp is tended by similar applications, and brushing of course acts as it would on the hair on the head. It may be worth while to state that without this treatment brows which are black and pretty may be gray and wry at the age of fifty. I know one girl who improved her eyebrows by using a paste made from the yolk of eggs and sulphur, to which she added a few drops of sweet almond oil. This paste she made from a teaspoonful of the raw yolk and into which she put powdered sulphur, as much as a small pea. A teaspoonful of sweet almond oil, stirred in drop by drop, made the paste thin, and this she spread on her brows every night. The paste must be kept in the refrigerator when not in use, for the keeping properties of egg are delibrate. In the morning the girl massaged her eyebrows with almond oil, the rubbing consolating of stroking the hair over and over again with an oily finger. The strokes were made the same way, that in which the hair should grow. This oil was finally wiped off. When browns are so long they are unruly it is not wise to clip them, for by cutting the hairs develop the quality of bristles. At night they should be pasted to the head with gum arabic or handline. Such a sticky paste can be made from two tablespoons of quince seed gently simmered in a spout of water for three-quarters of an hour. When cold the liquid will be sticky. This mixture should be strained/white hot. It is stroked on the browns while the unruly hairs are held in the line they should stay in until dry. A few weeks of such treatment will make the face more attractive and the browns will not grow bushy.

STRUGGLE WAS BITTER Ouets Bosset' Followers From Committees and Appoints Progressives. Roosevelt's Speech. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, of Oyster Bay, defeated in the Republican state Convention at Saratoga, N. Y. Vice President James S. Sherman, of Utica, for the office of temporary chairman of the convention by a vote of 57 to 44. Vice President Sherman and Cornelius V. Collins were designated to escort Colonel Roosevelt to the platform. Mr. Sherman congratulated Colonel Roosevelt on his election. The old guard leaders, headed by William Barnes, Jr., Speaker James W. Wadsworth, Jr., and their friends said that they were not at all dismayed, not at all overcome by Colonel Rosevelt's victory. Colonel Rosevelt's selection was followed later in the convention proceedings by performances which are without precedent in Republican conventions held in the state of New York since the organization of the party a little over fifty years ago. During all those years it has been the practice in selecting the various committees of the convention, like permanent organization, credentials, rules and platform for the delegates of each congressional district to select the committee members to preside over the proval by the state committee of the congressional districts, and these committeemen are thereupon accepted by the convention. After Colonel Roosevelt's victory, no delegate representing the old guard was permitted to offer the resolutions calling for the appointment of these committees. Only delegates friendly to Colonel Roosevelt and his adherents offered the resolutions for the appointment of a committee, and these Roosevelt delegates introduced their resolutions for the appointment of the committees "and the committee" the temporary chairman of this convention have authority to name the committees," meaning the committees on credentials, the committee on rules, the committee on permanent organization and the committee on platform. Colonel Roosevelt, as temporary chairman, celebrated the unlimited power given to him by first striking at Vice President Sherman. The Ovalde-Herkimer congressional district delegation, the vice president's own delegation, had recommended for the platform committee William H. Schweitzer, a Sherman follower. Colonel Roosevelt struck out Mr. Schweitzer's name and substituted that of as Assemblyman, Marvin K. Hart, who supported Senator Davenport. Colonel Roosevelt, following up this stroke, displaced Timothy L. Woodruff from the committee on platform and substituted the name of Comptroller L. Liffridson, a committee man who had been recommended by his delegation for a place on the committee on platform. Colonel Roosevelt substituted Marcell R. Campbell, Receivals' Speech. The main points in Colloch Receivals' speech are the following: "During the last eighteen months a long list of laws embodying legislation most heavily, to be commanded have been enacted by congress and approved by President Taft." "These, and similar laws, backed up by legislative action, reflect high credit upon congress and to our uble upright and distinguished, president, William Howard Taft." "Of course, with a party as long in control of nation and state as ours has been, there have been individual instances of misconduct and corruption, raising the cry of 'Turn the raiscals out,' for we have turned our own raiscals out." "We are against corruption in politics; we are against corruption in business, and, above all, and with all our strength, we are against the degrading alliance of crooked business and crooked politics, the alliance which strengthens the already powerful corrupt boss and to the already powerful corrupt head of big business, and which makes them in their dual capacity enemies against whom every patriotic man should stand with unwavering firmness." "Let no man say that this is an assault upon the honest business man. That is as foolish as to say that it is an assault upon the upright political leader." "Abort our attitude is more that we stand for honesty as well as for progressiveness and for efficiency." "It is absolutely essential, that the people should exercise self-control and self-mastery, and he is a foe to popular government who in any way caused them to lose such self-control and self-mastery." "We should at once introduce, in this state the system of direct submissions in the primaries, so that the pope shall be able themselves to decide who the candidates shall be, instead of being limited merely to choosing between candidates with the nominal nation they have had nothing to do." TAFT ORDERS CIVIL SERVICE EXTENSION Includes Assistants,Recommend 2d and 3d-Class Postmasters. The first definite result of the presen- t cabinet sessions in Washington was the announcement that President Taft, will issue an executive order extending the civil service to include all assistant postmasters. The president also will recommend to congress that second and third class postmasters be appointed under civil service. This action is in line with Post- master General Hitchcock's re- commendations. By this order some 8000 assistant postmasters will be affected. The cabinet took up in detail the departmental estimates for the coming year General Wood, before the cabinet met, went over the war department estimates with the president in the absence of Secretary of War Dickinson. Mr. Taft also discussed with his cabinet the speech he is to deliver in New York Saturday night. This is expected to be Mr. Taft's last political utterance of the campaign. CHOLERA WORSE IN NAPLES Thirty-two New Cases and Twenty-ix Deaths In City Monday. There were thirty-two now cases and twenty-six deaths from the cholera in Naples, Italy, on Monday. Immigrants arriving from America were forcibly prevented from landing. The passengers on the stairman Ganople, which reached Naples from Boston, were permitted to dobark, but were immediately escorted to the railroad station by soldiers. A number of persons have died in the cholera and the population exilement is such that the police have great difficulty in maintaining public order. It is reported that 100,000 persons of the better classes have already fled from Naples. MARGONI SERIOUSLY ILL Inventor is Returning to Italy From South America.

Highwaymen to Be Whipped. Clarence Rothwell and Proof Jack, both colored in high-winged hawks, were sentenced in criminal at Wilmington, Del. to forty lashers and three years' imprisonment each.

Where is there $^2$ places of glass I can step on?" THE CAPTION OF OUR SAD VARIANT A Lay Sermon by Brangeline. "For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all glory, to make the Capitol, of their salvation perfect, through suffering." Liebrews II. 10. The reader will, at once recognize the above as the language of that autoreasoner, St. Paul, and to get the full meaning of the text we should turn to the 2nd chapter of the autoreasoner, St. Paul, and to learn the librarians and read the whole context. In the age in which the Apostle Paul wrote, the military titles now commonly used, such as major, colonel and general were not in vogue. Captain was the highest military title then known. When therefore, the autoreasoner, St. Paul, wrote the viour as "Captain," he sought to confer upon him the highest title of the commander of an army. "And, indeed, he had the best authority for using this title in connection with our Spyour, as the autoreasoner, St. Paul, was turning the V Chapter of Joshua, 13:16 which reads as follows: "And it came to pass when Joshaus was by Jericho, that he lifted up his ofes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him, with his sword drawn in his hand; and Joshaus went into him, and said unclearly, "You are not adversaries?" and he said, Nay; but as Captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshaus fell on his face to the earth, and did worship and said unto him. What saith my Lord unto his servant? And the Captain of the Lord's host said unto Joshaus, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon that standest is holy. Add Joshaus did so. This incident occurred at the stage or Jericho by the army of Israel." In each of these cases, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is the Captain meant. If, therefore, the Captain of our salvation was made perfect through suffering, we, his followers, ought not to murmur when called to suffer, but bear pain and sorrow. We should wisdom may see fliy to lay upon us knowing that He will not put more upon us than we are able to bear. And even if the burden should at any time seem too grievous to bear, He has not left us without comfort and encouragement; for, if it not he who says, "Come unto me, all you who are in need of comfort, I will give you rest" . Mt. XI, 28. Again, if He is the Captain of our salvation, why need we fear and live in jeopardy all our lives? As Captain He, will arrange and set the battle in army. All we have to do, as good soldiers, is to obey His commands and leave the result to Him: for He is a Captain who has never lost a battle. We should safe, as long as we keep up in the ranks and obey His commands. All soldiers are liable to be wounded. The good ones much moro so than any, because they will always be found in the front of the battle. But, because they should be wounded is no reason why they should desert from the army. That is why our Captain is a great Physician as well as a great Captain. He is able, not only to heal but to make the dead alive! Richmond:Memphis Sleeping Car Service.
