THE RICHMOND PLANET Editor Mitchell's Long Journey. THROUGH NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA. The Great American Desert.—Indians at Yuma.—The Pullman Company and Its Service.—The Dining Car.—The Porter and His Duties. (Continued From Last Week.) We were soon reminded that we had not eaten any dinner, that the apples purchased from the Mexicans served only to aggravate an already serious situation instead of appeasing the pangs of hunger, and so we went forward to the dining car. Have you ever been aboard of one of these palatial hotels on wheels? Let us describe one of them. At one end is the "chef's" or cook's department. "Chef" is the high-toned French word for cook and means that the possessor of it is master of producing appetizing effects from the barn yard fowl or the "wallowing in the mud" hog, or the running nose sheep or the sucking, bellowing calf. A HOTEL ON WHEELS The cost of performing this "sleight of hand" change is collected by the Pullman Hotel Company and is justified by skilled service on the part of the waiters and costly sterling silver table-ware on the part of the conductors in charge of the cars. They have a fine bill of fare and in travelling through certain states, the passengers are given a taste of prohibition, being denied whiskey service and within an hour thereafter, upon travelling through another state they are given the full benefit of up-to-date Kentucky whiskey or New York high-ball service at prices which would cause any one but a millionaire or a banker to stare. A DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICE The tables are arranged on both sides of the car with seats for two at a small table on one side and seats for four at a large table on the other side of the car. The table linen is changed after each passenger has been served, it matters not whether it has been soiled or not. The laundry department of the company, by this arrangement is kept busy. The dining car is a veritable palace. Its decorations rival those of the White House at Washington. The waiters are colored and their spotless linen and polite manners please as well as satisfy. BILL OF FARE PRICES When we entered this car we proceeded to one of the tables while the waiter standing at the back of a chair moved it from the table as we passed to take the seat and shoved it forward as we sat down. A bill of fare was before us and then a pad with copying paper was handed us upon which we wrote our order. A half spring chicken can be obtained for 75 cents, sometimes for 65 cents, but the extras added to this bring the cost of a meal up to 95 cents or $1.00 and with the tip to $1.25. It is possible though to pay $3.00 for one meal if the hearty eater is disposed to go the full extent of the menu. We got that half spring chicker (Continued on Fifth Page.) AN APPEAL Richmond Hospital Annual Linen Day Thanksgiving Day will commence the Annual Linen Day Rally at the Richmond Hospital. The charity work has been so large this year that our Hospital has been heavily taxed, to accommodate the applicants for free Surgical and Medical attention. The Hospital force has had to be increased by the addition of Doctors and Nurses in order to care for this increase of business. Eight years of successful operations and increasing influence have made the Hospital worthy of the support of all lovers to race enterprises. Be the first to send some money a bundle of linen, a spread, a towel or something. Anything will be thankfully received. DR. M. B. JONES, Surg.-In-Chief DR. D. A. FERGUSON, Secty. Drove Through a Funeral Procession. Funeral Director A. D. Price had a funeral Friday November 11, 1910 and it was passing down Broad St. at the City Hall when H. L. Baskett (white) says he is a farmer deliberately drove into it overturning one of the carriages containing four persons and knocking down the two horses. Chief of Police Werner saw the act committed and captured the man, who refused to leave his seat until forced to do so. He was placed in the Second Police Station upon the charge of being drunk and driving through a funeral procession. The carriage was damaged and the harness had to be cut in order to free the spirited horses. Joe Price was the driver. Fortunately the horses were not injured. Baskett was fined $10.00. Got the Body. Mr. J. G. Lattie, Funeral Director from Winston-Salem, N. C. was in the city Friday morning, 11th inst. to carry the remains of John R. Echols back to North Carolina. He was electrocuted in the Virginia Pen tentiliary for the murder of Sidney Woods, (colored). Thomas Bailey and James Hairston were also convicted with Echols for the same crime, but were respited until December 16, 1910. Mr. Lattie left Friday morning, 11th inst, with the remains. 3RD ST. A. M. E. CHURCH RALLY Dr. Hurst to Lecture. The Debt Clearing Rally of Third Street A, M. E, Church opened auspiciously last Sunday and the events of the week have been interesting. Sunday the 20th is the last day of the Rally, when full reports and a large ingathering is expected from the members and friends. One of the most distinguished general officers Rev. John Hurst will preach. He will remain over and give, as the closing event of the Rally, a lecture on Hasttl, of which he is native; at one time Secretary of the Legation from that country to the United States. This offers a rare opportunity for the people of Richmond to hear from original sources, about that unique little Black Republic, which so bravely fought for and won their independence from the Spanish and the French nearly a hundred years ago. The price of admission to the Lecture is 15 cents and tickets are now on sale in the hands of members of the Church or at Dr. Smith's Drug Store, 301 Baker St. and Easley's, 615 North Second Street. An attractive preliminary program consisting of a piano solo by Mr. Milton Sampson; recitation by Miss Alice Smith and musical numbers by the Choirs of the Church under the leadership of Mrs. Fannie P. Clark, with Mrs. Ida G. Dean as soloist. The citizens will have opportunity to meet the distinguished guest, at the close of the Lecture in an informal reception to be held. None should miss this rare opportunity. If you want the best rent collect tor try Cephas, 602 N. Second St. Phone, Monroe-588. Notice! Ruther Glen, Va., Nov. 14, 1910.

On last Tuesday evening a large crowd of the various clubs recently organized by local Deputy, Isaac Ballard and others of this city, met in Price's Hall on Leigh Street where they were properly initiated into the mysteries of the Chamber, by Deputy General Hobson, who is master of the art of initiation and ritualistic works. Many were they who presented themselves for concession and obligation. Mr. Hobson will remain in the city until Tuesday of next week. He will then go to Norfolk where he will degree several lodges next Thursday night. Many more will be present to be led to the altar to be offered as a sacrifice. A ABRAHAM.

This sum is paid to the parents of the girl or to the man who owns her as his slave. The girl seldom has any voice in the matter. Sometimes, however, the couple wishing to be married make their own bargain and then it's an interesting business. The young man seeks to meet the darling of his dreams. But how and where are the questions that worry and puzzle him. Often he takes refuge in the home of the evangelist and gets him to write a note for him. He then goes out, cuts a stick and splits it at the top, puts the letter in the split, and hurries to get a carrier. When it is delivered he stands around to see how it is received. If it is favorably received a nice pot of food is cooked and sent to him. The parties are then considered engaged. A man can have as many wives as he can buy. I saw one man, a king who had forty. The marriage feast is a ceremonious pair with the heathen. If the groom is wealthy all of the drums, horns, bells, musicians and dancing masters are hired to do the bride honor. All of the luxuries of the troops, according to the native ideas, are in evidence at the feast. I have known them to have a hundred pots of food at a single wedding supper.

D., Pastor, Residence: 108 E. Leigh St., Richmond, Va. J. HENRY CRUTCHFIELD, Editor, Office: 1215 E. Broad St., Richmond, Va. The Fifth Street Baptist Church is still moving on upward and onward. Everything seems encouraging. The Lord has blessed them in their efforts and crowned their labors with success. The members seem encouraged to put forth their greatest efforts in the work for which they were created. Pastor, Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham seems to be doing his best to instill the right principles. Last Sunday morning he made a deep impression upon the congregation. He has been preaching seemingly a series of sermons along the line of Christian duty and the importance of living an honest, upright life. He counselled the Church to renew its efforts along the line of true Christian fellowship. He told them in so many words that the Churches of to-day have ceased to reprimand its members who are guilty of those things which cause the Churches to lose much of its power and influence over the world. Years ago, said the Doctor, the Church prohibited its members from dancing, but now the Church don't call those members who dance and has not done so for a number of years. Such little things as these going unnoticed by the Churches have caused them to lose power and influence. The time has come when the Churches must recur to first principles. Every Minister of the Gospel who preaches false doctrine will have to give an account for it before God. The world today is demanding honest upright men and women. Services Sunday night were well attended and enjoyed by all present. The Choir under the management of Prof. Alex. McCoy is doing what it can to add to each service in its line of singing. Let every member of the Fifth Street Baptist Church from now on resolve to do more by attendance upon services and improve himself along every act of conduct as well as to see to it that the Church recur to the proper place intended for it to stand by our God. The old Christians delighted to be in prayer services, are we any better than they, can we succeed as we ought without prayer? Answer for yourselves. Wednesday of each week is set apart for prayer service. It may be called the Christian's public drill night of the Church. Do you want to be a good Christian soldier? If so, come out to this service every Wednesday. Let every member do his duty in this respect. We should always pray is a great command. God has promised He will be with those who assemble as such in His name. (Prof. B. H. Peyton, Superintendent of Fifth Street Baptist Sunday School, opened the School Sunday morning at 9:30 o'clock. The weath er was fair and refreshing. Teachers took charge of their classes and taught the day's lesson for 30 minutes. The school is getting along nicely. Pastor, Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham presented a new banner to Infant Class, No. 5, taught by C. K. Royster with words of encouragement.

A., October 26, 1910. To the People of Great Britain and Europe: The undersigned Negro-Americans have heard, with great regret, the recent attempt to assure England and Europe that their condition in America is satisfactory. They sincerely wish that such were the case, but it becomes their plain duty to say Gat if Mr. Booker T. Washington, or any other person, is giving the impression abroad that the Negro problem in America is in process of satisfactory solution, he is giving an impression which is not true. We say this without personal bitterness toward Mr. Washington. He is a distinguished American and has a perfect right to his opinions. But we are compelled to point out that Mr. Washington's large financial responsibilities have made him dependent on the rich charitable public and that, for this reason, he has for years been compelled to tell, not the whole truth, but that part of it which certain powerful interests in America wish to appear as the whole truth In flat contradiction, however, to the pleasant pleasure thus pionted out let us not forget that the concensus of opinion among eminent European scholars who know the race problem in America, from De Tocqueville down to Von Halle, De Laweleys, Archer and Johnston, is that it forms the gravest of American problems.

TWO BACK TO THE OLD HOMESTEAD AT the foot of the hill where the turpurea swerved sharply to the left to avoid climbing the abrupt elevation and close by the brook, which, finding its source somewhere among the hilltops, meandered leisurely through swamp and swale and cut the farm squarely in two, stood the old homestead. The moss grown shingled roof peopled modestly behind a screen of age-old trees, and the low down sagging foundations were scarcely anywhere visible behind the rampant growth of rosebushes that clambered halfway up the south side of the house. There were blosses grown into trees, springs that crowded half across the gravel walk, a giant honey-suckle vine that had been choked and pruned back until its granted old trunk resembled a grotesque freak of nature The old homestead had housed and reared seven generations of men and women of the same name, but it had come to pass that those of the seventh generation were widely scattered and the old homestead no longer knew them. There were seven of this generation-seven boys—and the last to leave the old homestead had gone forth, like the others, to battle in the larger world for life and happiness. A man is sitting on a staircase and reading a book to a woman. I unlike many old couples left behind on the farm to watch and tend it in its declining years, these two were not shorn of the necessaries or even the luxuries of life. They had laid aside their little sum, and they lived with no dread of the morrow. No shadow of debt or threat of mortgage foreclosure hung over their heads, and they lived in "mother, I'm too close closure hung to the city to over their heads, monnow." and they lived in quiet peace on the homestead that had sheltered so many of their ancestors. But there was loneliness in the mother heart. When the first son had broken away from the farm the pang had been sharp and cruel, but there were six left behind. Then the second had grown restless and followed in the footsteps of the elder. The third waited a few years, silently tilling the fertile farm and watching for his chance. It came one day with unexpected abruptness. "Mother, I'm going to the city tomorrow," he said at the close of a hard day's work in the fields. "My opportunity has come." There was no open opposition, but the heartstrings were quivering. The third son went, and after him the fourth. In a few years the remaining sturdy babies had grown to the stature of manhood, and they, too, cast longing eyes cityward. Would not one of them remain on the farm? The last to go had been her favorite for was he not the baby? And with his going the light seemed to go out of the world for the aged couple. But these two were of pioneer stock, and they had met and overcome adversity in many forms, and in time they fell back upon each other's company and found a measure of contentment. There were seven sons, and each week seven letters left the homestead mailed to different addresses. One went to Chicago, another to New York, a third to Boston, two to St Louis, one far off to the Pacific coast and the last to a nearby city. Monday was devoted to thoughts of the widest, and the mother brain and heart put into his letter all the little news of the home life which he had loved. He had been de- voted to the live stock, and she recorded faithfully the details of their progress. Billy, his pet horse, had long since died, but another cott had been named after him, and he was always held in reserve for his absent owner A man sitting in a chair, holding a book. Tuesday's letter was more difficult of composition. It called her forth into the woods to get news, for the second son had been a roamer and a friend of every squirrel and rabbit. He could initiate the call of the bluesty and of the incisor.

Wednesday was a day of easy letter writing. It was all about crops, the condition of the north and south fields, the probable yield per acre and in harvest time an account of the results. On Thursday her letter was addressed to the young airboy in New York, and she spoke of the things which he had loved, and Brachy she rounded the woods again for material for he of San Francisco was the hunter and trapper of the family, and Saturdays she peered into the streams and the dark pools of the river for information about the silvery plume and speckled trout, for the sixth son was of the Izak Walnut school. Then came Sun day with its calm peacefulness and thoughtful reflections. Her baby had been of an artistic and religious temperament, and the Sabbath was conserved to him. She could speak more freely and intimately of her inner thoughts and home life, and her pen moved more rapidly over the paper. A man and a dog in a kitchen. At first the weekly letters were answered more or less reg- THEY BAY DOWN at nearly She was THE TABLE ALONE a wife mother and did not expect a reply to every e- fusion of her own.

They brought their brides in hurried visits to the old home. Children added to the cares of the father. She longed intensely to know of her grand- children, and if she wrote long ram- bling letters of the old heart her wished for minute details of the children born in the image of their fathers. But the rush of life in the cities made the farm seem a long way off. Letter writing was oftentimes irksome, and the seven sons had挂盤 that absorbed their time and strength. The letters grew fewer and their length shorter. On the old homestead the aged couple laboriously read over and over again the brief epilates, pondering and thinking and speculating—and sighing. In due time the seven sons forgot to write or delegated the work to their wives. They were too occupied to waste their time in epistolary composition. They know, moreover, that their parents knew they would send word if anything unusual happened. And nothing unusual happened to them—that is, nothing that would interest the aged couple living on the old homestead. They would not care to read of things in the city which were so vital to the sons of the seventh generation—of social gatherings, of business developments, of art lectures, of politics, of religious and charity work. These were things of the city and not of the country. Their parents would not understand, as if the mother love was not inclusive enough to embrace all things that touched the hearts and lives of her offspring. A So the sadness and loneliness of the life on the old homestead took on a keener edge. The aged couple would sit hand in hand and watch the deparing rays of light with pride. sun with moles WATCHING THE PADTEN, dinned eyes. The broader back of the man was sturdy enough to carry the burden, but the mother was bending under the load. "Don't worry, mother," soothed the man. "They have their families and their cares, and we must be content." "It is not that," she murmured, "but—and the eyes had a frightened look in them. I do not feel equal to—to writing, the letters any more. I—I find them a burden now." The man gently pressed the hand that had penned the daily letters. "Rest, then, mother, rest! They will not." He stopped, he could not say they would not miss them, and yet the quittering heart at his side knew he meant it. "That is it," she replied slowly, "they will not miss them, and that is—what—hurta." The eyes drooped, and the head rested heavily on the shoulder by her side. They sat there a long time watching the fading light and the coming up of the new moon. The dew of the evening wet them before they rose slowly and made their way inside. Long habit and training cannot be changed in a day or night, and a mother's yearning for her sons insisted that some message should be sent, but each week the letters grew shorter and there was no heart or life in them. Sometimes they were so perfunctory that one was merely a duplicate of the other, a mere reference to the weather and crops and an assurance that all were well. The hand copied from day to day what the brain had dictated for one. There was little variation. The summer passed and harvest time approached again. The Thanksgiving season brought its train of memories. A week before Thanksgiving she looked anxiously for letters from her sons. Each day they drove a mile to the village for their man, but the letters were not there. Two days before the event the Trail body was keyed to improve hospice.

There was a single The man ascend without a quiver, morning mall, and perhaps—perhaps—but who can toll? They drove a slowly through the crisp autumn air and returned at dinner time.

"Mother, we will ask a blessing for our sons and their families," he began. The plates were set for the seven, a custom never abandoned even though they remained empty throughout the Thanksgiving meal. The two did not hear the outside noise, nor the rattle of the lumbering stage, nor the lifting of the latch. When they raised their eyes the room was full of bearded and bronzed and pale and clean shaven face—faces which in spite of wind and weather and toll and sweat had a strange family resemblance. It was unusual that they should be there, but it did not seem strange, so confident was the mother heart that her prayer would be answered. "Mother, I Was worried. Your letters were so different, and I came home instead of writing." It was the oldest who spoke and embraced her "And I met the others on the train or at the station," he continued. "They felt the same and could not wait to write." "Yes, mother," added another, a little reproachfully. "It made me home-sick not to hear from you offender, and when your letters did come they were so—different I knew something was wrong with either you or father. What is it?" They glanced from one aged parent to the other. The faded eyes of the woman turned tremblingly from one to the other and finally sought in fear the person on the face of her husband. He nodded responsively. "Yes, mother has been sick—heart-sick," he began slowly. "You were homesick, but she was heart-sick. She has been giving you of her life, but you have returned little of yours. She has carried the old home to you in her letters, but you have neglected her in yours." Even then the mother hunger was predominant and could not abide the chastening of her offsprings. The fruit hand waved aside the speaker, but he added softly. "Even now she's ready to give more than she will receive." Then, with a twinkle in his eyes: "Mother, in the feast spread for nine or two?" Ten years suddenly slipped from the gray head and the fruit body, and the face was wreathed in a holy smile as she battled about and changed dishes and added more to the table's supply. A "We only set places for your spirits, and not for your bodies." "she murmured guiltly." "And you are all such hearty eaters!" "Yes, hearty eaters--big eaters, mother!" "they said in one voice."

Geme In Verse O PAINTER of the fruits and flowers, We thank thee for thy wise design Whereby these human hands of ours In nature's garden work with thins! AND thanks that from our daily need The joy of simple faith is born; That he who smiles the summer weed May trust thee for the autumn corn. GIVE fools their gold and knaves their power. Let fortune's bubbles rise and fall. Who sows a field or trains a flower Or plants a tree is more than all. FOR he who blesses most is bleast, And God and man shall own his worth. Who tells to leave as his bequest An added beauty to the earth. AND soon or late to all that sow The time of harvest shall be given. The flowers shall bloom, the fruit shall grow. If not on earth, at last in heaven. —John Greenical Whittier. COLUMBUS. ST STEPHEN'S, cloistered hall was proud In learning his pomp that day, For there a robed and stately crowd in winged way.

HAVE met with a good many people In jogging, one's life's varied way. I've encountered the clever, the simple The crabbed, the grave and the gray. I have traveled with beauty, with virtue. I have been with the urly, the bad. I have laughed with the ones who were merry And wept with the ones who were sad. One thing I have learned in my journey— Never to judge one by what he appears. The eyes that seem sparkling with laugh- Is often the freest from gullie. And I've learned not to look for perfection In one of our frail human kind. In hearts the most gentle and loving Some blemish or fault we can find. But yet I have inger found the creature So low so deprived or so mean. But had some good impulses, some virtue. That 'mong his bad traits might be seen. And, too, I have learned that most friendships We make are ab brittle as glass. Just let a retreate overtake us- Our "friends" on the other side pass. But, ah, I have found some few loyal, Borne hearts ever loving and true. And the pangs they have have me Have cheered me my whole journey through! —author Unknown. HOW IT HAPPENED.

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 19, 1910 The Director, Account of Cincinnati seeks a district to have a good time for the co-operation if we can paddle by the program we sent out after the political control of the year is over. The committee composed of Msers J J Woodbot M H M Huile and Sam B Hill seems too to have understood its business. --- We received a invitation to the Tenth' Anniversary of Samuel Huston College at Vero Texas November 22, 1919. R. S. Lottigman A.M., the Problem seems to have had wonderful success with this institution and is uniquely the right man in the right place. He and faculty have our best wishes, for success --- We have received a circular signed by William W. Johnson, President John K. Auter, Vice President, John G. Jones, Chairman on Political Action, Henry M. Porter, Secretary, endorsing nineteen candidates for judicial offices and stating that nine of those endorsed were elected. This was a unique way to show approval and it is only unfortunate that ten, who were presumed to be anti-Negro were elected --- THAT RINGING CIRCULAR. The litter antagonism to the ideas and polices of Dr. Booker T. Washington the "first citizen of color this Republic" is intensifying. If we are to judge by a circular letter issued over the signatures of race leaders, whose names must necessarily command respect. They are over watchful of all that he says and especially careful to conteract the effect of any statements which he may make which tend to compromise the outspoken position of the educated colored men, who will not recognize and submit to any discrimination which tends to lower their manhood or compromise their political rights. The circular letter issued under date of October 28th, 1910 is a terrific indictment of the white people of this country and contains trifles which cannot be gainst or denied. It it unfortunate though that a gon'toman and a leader of Dr. Washington's type and character should be openly charged with uttering untruths. We cannot fully understand his motive for so doing. True he has made mistakes and in many instances been too optimistic to future conditions, but then his intentions should be considered and his purposes analyzed. We have often disagreed with Dr Washington and we now believe that his interference in the political affairs of the country is inconsistent with his previously repeated declarations that the Negroes should eschew politics. We have more than once told him so. On the other hand, these race leaders, who are opposing Dr Washington and his policies have stated conditions existing correctly and we know from personal experiences that their "bill of intreat" as compiled 14 their charges is true but this relates to a class of white men largest in the majority in the Southland. They overbrace the fact that there is a growing minority of Southern white men who hold the views set forth by Dr Washington and who are doing all in our power to alleviate the very conditions of which these very able people complain. Dr Washington has shown great skill in encouraging this class of white men and he has materially improved the condition of thousands of colored people by his authority to set the condition of white men who hold the destinies of thousands of Negroes in their hands. I cannot we make is that viewed from their respective angles both in Washington and his critics may have told the truth, and that the charge that one or the other has spoken an untruth is harsh in the prison. We have always believed in Negrohood, with the citizen of color who was ready to stand up and contend for his rights. We have always believed that supine submits son has been the cause of many of the lives from which we now suffer and that this weakness has led to the loss of the franchise on the part in the vicinity in so many states. It will be only by tireless agitation that we can hope to retain the Fifth Amendment in the Constitution of the United States. It is to be recognized that Europe will now have the sorry spectacle of seeing the leading race leaders engaged in deadly combat relative to existing conditions when both may have spoken the truth as to the facts and that one or the other may have erred in their respective conclusions. If we could get the race gladiators to ask personal feeling and to regard the races interests as paramount, much would be gained in this world wide controversy. We feel satisfied that this circular is not to discredit Dr Washington in the estimation of thousands who feel blind speech abroad and to relocate to the rear a man whose friends now claim that he is the greatest Ngorongoro since Langston died. Douglas went the way of all the earth.

(Continued - From First Page.) under present conditions, and who have no reason, and refuse to accept reasons, for silence, can substantiate this unanimous testimony. Our people were emancipated in a whirl of postion and then laked to the mercies of their enraged and impoverished masters. As our sole means of defence we were given the ballot, and we used it so as to prevent it from being used in the War. Without it we would have returned to slavery with it we struggled to ward freedom. No sooner, however, had we rid ourselves of nearly two-thirds of our litteracy, and accumulated $40,000,000 worth of property in a generation, than this ballot which had become increasingly necessary to the defence of our civil and property rights, was taken from us by force and fraud. To day in eight States—where the bulk of the Necroves live, Black men of property and university training can be, and usually are, by law denied the ballot, while the most ignorant White man votes. This attempt to put the personal and property rights of the host of the Blacks at the absolute political mercy of the majority of the Whites is spreading each day. Along with this has gone a systematic attempt to curtail the education of the Black race. Under a widely advertised system of "universal" education not one Black boy in three to day has in the United States a chance to learn to read and write. The proportion of school funds, due to Black children is often spent on Whites and the burden on private charity to support education, which is a public duty, has become almost untolerable. The walk of life we meet discrimination based solely on race and colour but continually on morals outly misrepresented to the world as the natural difference due to condition. We are for instance usually forced to live in the worst quarters, and our consequent death-rate is noted as a race trait, and reason for further discrimination. When we seek to buy property in better quarters we are sometimes in danger of mob violence, or as now in Baltimore, of actual legislation to prevent. We are forced to take lower wages, equal work, and our standard of living then crittified. Fully half the labour force refuse us as admittance, and then declare "weaker" we lower the price of labour. A persistent cause proscription seeks to force us and confine us to mental occupations where the conditions of work are worst. Our women in the South are without protection in law and custom, and are then dirilled as lewd. A widespread system of deliberate public insult is customary, which makes difficult, if not impossible, to secure railway trains, remediation in hotels, railway trains, restitution at hotels, and even in the Christian Church we are in most cases given to understand that we are unwelcome unless aggregated. Worse than all this is the wilful miscarriage of justice in the courts. Not only have 3,500 Black men been lynched publicly by mobs in the last twenty-five years without blondombo or pretence of trial, but regularly the machinery of outrage around the South the machinery of outrage is used, not to prevent crime, and not the wayward among Negroes, but to break public dislike and vengeance, and to raise public funds. This dealing in crime as a means of public revenue is a system well-eigh universal in the South, and while its ginning brutality through private lease has been checked, the morifying principle is still unchanged. Everywhere in the United States the old democratic doctrine of recognizing fitness whovor it occurs is losing ground before a reactionary policy of deoxygenation in political or industrial life to competent men if they have a trace of Negro blood, and of,using the weapons of such men, and humiliation to keep such men from a day a universal demand 'in the South' on all occasions social courtesies be denied any person of known Negro descent, even to the extent of retaliating to apply the titles of "Mrs. and Miss." Analog to this dominant tendency. strong and brave Americans, White and Black, are fighting, but they are not fighting, but they are fighting, port of England and of Europe in this crusade for the recognition of manhood despite adventitious differences of race, and it is like a blow in the face to have one, who himself suffers daily insult and humiliation in America, give the impression that all manhood is optimistic, self-forgetful and forgiving, but it is quite a different thing, consciously or unconsciously, to represent the truth.

Ackerson, May 9, 1910 Dear Colleague Cities I am trying to get Miss Mary Fitzhugh, the Blind Sindra, "on her feet" professionally, because she promises to become one of our great c singers. She has just been discharged from the Missouri State Blind School because of the age limi it. She has no mother, and there is no one to assist her. Her need is seasonal. The Summer season is the only season I can give to her. She is totally dependent upon me for clothes board, traveling expenses, tuition—everything I cannot afford to give her more than my time and care (for I must always be with her.) Because she can support herself if given a start, I ask mothers and fathers and those who have not been blessed with children, to help me lunch her in the concert field. It will make her in the concert of money, and there will be weeks when nothing will be earned, while expohesion run on. All can understand the financial sac rife which I am compelled to make, to relinquish all of my own work in presenting her. If I "go and/or" filshugh I will be Fitzhugh. I believe in helping you as well as in burying the dead. I believe in helping young people to earn a living. I believe that many a young person has "gone down" because there was no reaching hand to help up. I believe there are many children and fathers who will be glad to give their girl a "lift" without waiting usiff some white person "lifts her up." I mean to do my plaint duty, as I see it. by giving "Blind Mary Pfitzhugh" a chance in life, that she may become a self-supporting woman. Yours sincerely E. AZALIA HACKLEY.

FOURTH DEATH FROM STRANGE POISONING Woman Who Nursed Dying Family a Victim. The fourth death following the poisoning of the family of Moses Millington, of Silcum Corners, near Wilcox Barre Pa., came when Mrs. Mary P. Johnson, mother of Mrs. Millington, and who had attended the victims of the poisoning, fell dead. Coroner Dudson, believing that her heart might have been afflicted by the subtle poison in the bodies of Millington and his two children who are ill dead and whom she nursed, ordered an autopsy. Mrs. Millington, the sole survivor member of the family, is now dying at the Nantucket hospital, and her mother had been visiting her boshiide frequently during the last few days. The authorities haven't yet learned the nature of the poisoning. Have You a Trade? COLORED MEN TO LEARN IS TRADE. On $25 weekly. We have the largest Barbers are always in demand.

(Continued From First Page) and what was loft of it, after we finished the meal would not have satisfied an infant. It may be well to add that flowers are placed on the tables and beautiful table lights with their soft entrancing rays add to the magnificence of the scene in the night time. From the "Jim Crow" car of Texas to the palatial Rock Island millionaire train from Chicago was a long leap and we had taken it while intermittent streams of money flowed from our pocket into the treasury of the Pullman Palace Car Company and the railroad. THE PORTER AND HIS DUTIES We returned to our sleeping car and a few moments later found us ready to retire, to forget our past experiences and to rest tired limbs as we proceeded on our long journey. Have you ever slept in a Pullman sleeping car? Have you ever seen inside of one of these travelling hotels? It is night time. The pouch sheds his blue coat for a white linen Jacket. The soats face each other. The mattresses are stored away on each side of the roof of the car and the door or berth moves downward upon well timed pulleys. MAKING UP THE BEDS: When these doors are closed they form the roof of the car, when they are open they become bunks, resting horizontally. They are beds suspended between the floor and the colling. The porter takes out the mattress for the lower berth which is made by bringing the cushions of the two seats together and forming a bed just like a couch on the floor. This is called the lower berth—everybody wants it. The higher one is called the upper berth, and nobody wants it unless it is impossible to get anything else. DODGE UPPER BERTHS. The old style sleeping cars of a Decade ago had upper berths that would sometimes close up with a passenger, like a folding bed but this trouble has been long ago obviated and unless a train is in a wreck or the passenger disposed to roll about and fall to the floor below, he will safely remain in position until morning. Then come the curtains which are only buttoned. To undress in a Pullman car require skill and patience. If you kneel you'll "butt" your head against either the upper berth or the roof. If you sit down with your limbs extended, you are uncomfortable, while you are disrobing. A SLEEPER'S EMBARRASSMENTS If you lie down and attempt the operation, you feel like a corpse, being shrouded. There are electric lights in the horrors of the finest trains which can be turned on or off at pleasure. Electric buttons will bring the porter in an emergency. You cannot sleep at any time as well as you do at home, but after you get tired, you'll get somewhat used to the motion. The train shakes you, no matter how magnificent is the service. Sometimes when the engines are changed you may wake with a start as the jolt fars you. CAN THINK DEEPLY. A sleeping car birth is a fine place too to think about your sins of omission and commission, when owing to the rolling motion you cannot sleep. Well, this was the place into which we divod and within five minutes after the performance, we were in the land of dreams. Morning came. We raised the curtain and found that we wufo being carried across the great American desert. We were in Arizona, but we never know when we reached Tucson. THE AMERICAN DESERT. The bleak-looking mountain could be seen in the distance, apparently not more than a mile away, although we were afterwards informed that 25 miles would have been a safe estimate. The ground looked patched and dry. The shrubbery looked scorched and in the midst of it all could be seen the giant specimens of the cactus. This was all new to us. We were in the midst of a dreary waste with water no where in sight. And yet we did not tire of the scene. PECULIAR VEGETATION After breakfast, we wont into the observation car. There on the rear of the train were camp chairs and inside were parlor chairs, while the large glass windows gave the tourist an uninterrupted view of this wild country, where no sign of animal life was visible and where the dust was everywhere in evidence. Camels that could go for three weeks without water were needed in this hot-formsaken country for open the taco. (Continued From First Page.) to represent the Grand Fountain, U. O. of True Reformers. The depositors, through their attorneys, Messrs Christian, Gordon, and Christian set up the plea that they were without representation. When certain papers and amdavits became available, the attorneys for the Order decided to make no objection to the application. From the reading of the decree it seems that an effort will be made to probe deep into the unfortunate affair and to ascertain whether or not false statements have been sworn to and filed with the Corporation Commission. THOSE WHO ENTERED THE PLEA It will be noticed, too, that the depositors who have determined to take this legal step to protect their interests are Pharmacist James E. Jackson, Letter-carrier Jacob F. Wright, Thomas C. Tinsley, Mr. J. W. Thompson, whose Order of Good Samaritans is said to have had about $4,000.00 on deposit, Mr. Archile L. Merchant, Mr. Garland Richardson, Mrs. Laura Richardson, and Mrs. Martha E. Turnor, Dr. A. Tennant and Dr. W. Hughes. The affair will now assume an interesting phase. If the Grand Fountain follows the advice of Grand Worthy Master Holmes and guarantees the payment of the depositors which is in with the address delivered by John Mitchell, Jr., President of the Mechanles' Savings Bank and the subsequent action of the Citizens' Meeting at the True Reformers' Hall last Monday night, there will be no need of any further worry on the part of the depositors. $ \textcircled{5} $ COPY OF THE DECREE The following is a copy of the de erce "In the Chancery Court of the City of Richmond. The Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers, which sues, &c. Plaintiff, Against—Decree: The Savings Bank of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, Dofendant.

John Mitchell, Jr., President of the Mechanics Savings Bank addressed the vast assembly on the True Reformers Bank and its Depositors. His address was indeed a masterpiece, timely, pointed explanatory and everything needed at this time to help conditions. He minutely mapped out a way whereby the True Reformers may rise from their conditions. MUST PAY DEPOSITORS. He urged them to pay their obligations and especially the depositors of the Bank dollar for dollar, and that the great thing to restore confidence was honesty, willing and ready to pay all obligations. He further advised the appointment of an Advisory Commission to get together and move the machinery in the proper treat. He also stated that the great thing aside from paying its depositors was that the Grand Fountain be convened at once and put itself on record as to looking out for salvation of the Order. SPEECH WELL RECEIVED His speech was well received and expressions of thanks and gratitude were heard throughout the vast assembly. He thoroughly explained the banking rules and on what sound and safe foundation the Mechanics Savings Bank was. After his address Dr. P. B. Ramsey mentioned that a committee of alno be appointed to draft resolutions concerning the condition of affairs of Reformers. Dr. Graham suggested that short speeches be made Mosses R G. Richardson, Harrison Smith and Mrs. Margaret Smith spoke on the same. COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS The committee appointed was P. B. Ramsey, W. F. Graham, John T Taylor, John W Howard, T H Wyatt William Miller, B. P Vandervall William Hughes and A. Hayes The following resolutions were presented and unanimously adopted THE VOICE OF THE MEETING Whereas the recent catality which has overtaken the Savings Bank of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, causing it to suspend payment upon its checks, making it unable to meet its obligations, and the consequent Inability of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers to pay promptly its accumulated death claims in all of its departments, and has caused the first named department of the Order the suspension of the license to do business, and SHOULD NOT SHAKE CONFI- DENCE Whereas the aforementioned embarrassment is liable to shake the confidence of the colored people of this and other cities, in enterprises operated by our people, and Whereas, the lack of confidence should find no lodgment in the minds of any intelligent, well-thinking citizens, for the reason that other enterprises operated and controlled by colored officials is in a prosperous condition in this and other cities and are meeting promptly all of their obligations, and THOSE WHO NEED SYMPATHY Whereas, in our judgment it is essential that sympathy be extended to the depositors of the Savings Bank Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, and to the benchcharles of the policies of the Order, as well as to the rank and file of the order, and Whereas, in our judgment some action should be taken for the early relief of the aforementioned depositors as we believe it essential to restore confidence, and it is necessary that outside help on the part of public spirited citizens, both white and colored be extended.

TO INVESTIGATE AILLED WROG DOING Resolved, Seventh. That he be further urged to investigate and ascertain whether there has been any violation of the law, and to use all of the power of his honorable position, to bring to light any crookedness, of whatever kind in any branch of the Order and to see to it that any person or persons found guilty be given the full limit of the law. GRAND WORTHY MASTER HOLMES SPEAKS. Grand Worthy Master A W. Holmes was called upon and made a fine address, stating that he was pleased to be in such a meeting and he promised and assured the gathering that he stood for high grounds and that he would endeavor to see that the Grand Fountain was called in extra session and that so far as he was able he would endeavor to see that each depositor get his money dollar for dollar. After singing, "In Thy Cloft O Rock of Ages," denudiction was anounced by Rev. W. T. Johnson. Thus closed one of the greatest meetings ever held in the city of Richmond, which in all purpose and tense bids fair to do much good. --- WANTED—Colored Farmers for good bottom land, within fifty miles of Memphis, in Mississippi and Arkansas.

FIVE PAYS FORTUNE FOR PAIR OF HORSES Blue Ribbon Roadsters Sell For $25,000. Walter Winans, the American multimillionaire, who never saw the United States until two years ago, and K. T. Stotesbury, of Philadelphia, furnished the biggest show horse dealing sensation at the Madison Square Garden, in New York, that has perhaps ever set society a gossiping, when Mr. Stotesbury sold to Mr. Winans his blue ribbon roadsters, Lugano and Como, for a sum said to be the greatest ever paid for show animals. While the actual price paid for the pair that beat Mr. Winans' crack English roadsters was not officially announced, gossip has it that Winans wrote a check for $25,000 and handed it to Mr. Stotesbury, completing the deal. The transaction was made immediately after the judging of class 43, for roadsters in harness. In this event Mr Winans had catered his famous Sonnie View and Rip, and it was not even accorded the V. H. C., or very highly commended. Mr Stotesbury's pair, however, carried the blue ribbon out of the tan bark oval in dashing style. Winans proved himself a good loser and as good a sportman when he ventured to ask Mr Stotesbury at what price he valued Lugano and Como. Stotesbury's answer, it is said was $26,000, and the men then departed arm in arm from the oval. They concluded the transaction in front of the stable of Mr Stotesbury Winans was seen to hand Mr Stotesbury a check and then tacked his name over the doors leading to the stalls of the prized winners. Lugano is a bay mare, 15 hands 2 inches tall and is six years old. Como is a bay golding of the same height and age. The horses are entered in other classes during the remainder of the week.

New York, Nov 9—At the Democratic congressional headquarters in this city it is asserted that the Republicans have lost control of congress. Returns from New England states. New York and New Jersey indicate that the Republicans have lost enough seats in congress to turn the control over to the Democrats. Speaker Cannon has been reelected in Danville, Ill. Nicholas Longworth has been re-elected in Ohio. The veteran Donny has been defeated in Michigan. The Massachusetts majority in congress has taken off a sitting example to show the trend of the voting in Massachusetts for numbers of congressmen. The Two Thirtieth district where Weeks made two years age of 12,000 is reduced to 400. There are possible Republican converses in the New York state congressional election. It books as if every Republican candidate for congress in the city of New York was defeated with the possible exception of Herbert Parsons, who has pulled up in the running against Jefferson M. Levy in the later returns. Forty two election districts in the Thirteenth senatorial district show that Levy has a majority over Parsons by only about 100. J Sioat Fassett in the Thirteenth congressional district, is probably defeated. One of the hottest congressional fights in New York state was in the First district where Cocks, Colonel Roosevelt's personal congressman was defeated by Martin W Littleton. While nothing like final or authoritative congressional figures can be given, the indications are that the house will be Democratic by a very small majority, perhaps as small as from ten to twelve. The Republicans held their own in Pennsylvania, the Eleventh congressional district being the only one known to be absolutely lost to the Republicans at this time. Nebraska Elects Republican Governor. Omaha, Nob., Nov. 9. - Returns indi-cate that the Democrats have captured all of the Nebraska offices except governor. Dahlman, Dem., for governor, carried Omaha by 7000, but lost Lincoln by 2000, and this 5000 difference is rapidly being overcome in the update counties. Hitchcock, Dem., candidate for United States senate, has a majority of 10,000 over Senator Burkett in Douglas county. In the state he is running oven. It now looks as if the Democrats have elected all of the six congressmen, and the only Republican who has a chance of pulling through is Congressman Hayward, in the First district. Slight interest in South Carolina. Charleston, B. C. Nov. 9. -Slight interest was manifested in the election in this state, the vote from reports received being about as usual. South Carolina always polls a light vote in general elections, all Democratic nominations in primaries being equivalent to election. 7 The state ticket, led by Colman Blease, was practically unopposed. Soitalaite having put out a gubernatorial candidate who received a few scattering votes. A solid Democratic congressional delegation was returned. The legislature, of course, in Damocraic. North Dakota Republican. Fargo, N. D., Nov. 9—This state has elected a Republican legislature, which insists the, re-election of McCumbury, to the United States, state, and the election of Congressman Bonna to all the renomacy caused by the death of Senator Johnson. Both Republican candidates for congress have won. WILSON WINS IN NEW JERSEY Democrat Gubernatorial Candidate Elected by 20,000. U. S. SENATOR IN DOUBT. But Republicans May Keep Control of the Legislature — Lewis Loes in Southern Part of State. Trenton, N. J., Nov 9.—Woodrow Wilson, Democrat, was elected governor of New Jersey, defeating Vivian M. Lewis, Republican, by a plurality of 20,000. This may be greatly in creased when complete returns have been received. Whether the Democratic landslide for the head of the ticket will carry with it control of the legislature and the election of a Democratic United States senator is in doubt. The early indications were that the Republicans would remain in control of both the senate and assembly. They surely will control the senate. The earliest returns were from the few voting machines scattered throughout the state, but those showed figures so pronounced for Wilson that there was little question as to what would be the result when fuller returns were received Lewis had expected the large computer vote in North Jersey to go heavily against him, but believed he would more than make up these losses in the Republican strongholds of South Jersey, especially in Camden and Atlantic counties. When the Camden county voting machine returns showed that Lewis was running far behind Fort and figures from several of the other usually very strong Republican counties were likewise discouraging to the Republicans they saw it was only a matter of how great would be Wilson's pin reality. Not even the most sanguine of the election prophets in Democratic ranks had predicted returns so favorable to Wilson, and the Republican leaders at the headquarters here attributed the overthrow of their candidate as largely due to the great feeling of unrest and the Democratic landslide that had been threatening for some time to sweep the country. What is considered by some as a master stroke on the part of the Wilson campaign-managers came to light when it was used that the package of Wilson stickers" for use on Republican ballots bore the "union label" trademark. Most of the Lewis stickers likewise bore the label, but in Wilson's case it was especially significant by reason of the question that arose during the campaign as to whether the Democratic nominee was a friend of organized labor. CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATIC Democratic Candidate, Who Was Scored by Roosevelt, Elected Governor New Haven Conn Nov 9 Judge Simon L. Pughman Democrat, was elected governor of Connecticut by a plurality of 500. The Republicans admit that the congressional seat in the Second district, so long held by N.D. Sperry dean of the house, is in danger of going to Thomas L. Reilly Democrat. The Republicans have so many local rights on their hands that indications point to a gain of from 60 to 70 seats in the general assembly for the Democrats. The use of the Australian ballot for the first time at a general election and the expected closeness of the vote for governor have raised apopulation as to the possibility of the election being thrown into the courts over protested ballots thrown out by local moderators. Topeka, Kan. Nov 9. —Governor W. R. Stubbs, Republican, has undoubtedly been re-elected, but by a decreased majority, over George Hodges. Stubbs is running behind in Topeka. Six of eight Republican, coorgosman will be returned, it appears. The districts in doubt are the Third and the Sixth, in which P. P. Campbell and I. D. Young, Republican, are opposed by Henderson Martin and Frank Rockefeller. THE VOTE IN MARYLAND Five Democrats and One Republican Elected to Congress. Baltimore, Md. Nov. 9.—Maryland elected five Democrats and one Rep- ublican congressman, a gain of two for the Democrats. The last delegation was coopted of three Republicans and three Democrats. The congres- sion elected are: First district, J. Har- ry Corinthian; Demn. reelected; Sec- ond, J. Fred Tailbot; Demn. reelected; Third, George Koelng; Demn. who suc- cessed John Krommiller, Demn.; Fourth, J. Charles Lilipac, Demn.; Fifth, David J. Lawle, Demn. who succeeds George A. Pear, Demn.

They May Be Set In the Fall or Spring and With Proper Attention Will Last About Twelve Years. Gooseberries are a hardy fruit and do best on a rich, heavy clay soil that is well drained. However, they will flourish in any garden soil. Plant them in rows about five feet apart each way. Train them to a low, treelike form if desired, but probably the bush form is the most satisfactory for the farmer's garden. Gooseberries may be set in the full or in the spring and probably do best from spring setting. Remove all weak branches or old canes. Fertilize the ground with well rotted stable manure and give shallow culti- Spray of Gooseberries. vation during the summer. No winter protection is needed. Of the American varieties Downing is probably the best, as it is seldom troubled with mildew, the most serious disease with which this fruit has to contend. Under ordinary management a plantation of gooseberries will last onl, six or seven years, but with judicious pruning and attention to enrichment they will produce good crops for ten or twelve years. Young and vigorous wood produces the finest fruit. Therefore all wood over four years old should be cut and the strongest stoutts left to take its place. Burn all limbs, brush and leaves trimmed off to destroy any fungal germs in infectious disease or eggs and larvae of injurious insects. Spreading the nashes around the bushes for a fertilizer is a good practice. In pruning/daintain an open top that air and sunshine may penetrate, the brush to prevent mildew, also to facilitate the picking of the fruit. A FARM ICEHOUSE. A Cement Finish Will Prove Valuable For Retaining Cool Air—Drainage of Great Importance. A house for ice storage must have proper drainage to keep the ice out of the water. The foundation and walls must be so constructed that air cannot get to the ice from below, and you must have a free circulation of air over the top of the ice at all times. The roof must, of course, be tight to keep out the rain, such a house will keep the ice fairly well, regardless of But icehouses, like everything else, will give better results if built with some care. The studding should be 2 by 8 inch timbers and the spaces between walls filled with sawdust or other insulating material. The interior walls may be covered with any lumber or material that will keep the sawdust in place. The exterior walls may be Icehouse With Cement Finish. covered with boxing and the cracks hattened, or drop sliding may be used, and the roof may be covered with any roofing material that will keep out the rain and snow. To insure proper drainage, excavate the trenches two feet below the foundation and fill the excavation with broken stone. Build the foundation on the stone. A house 10 by 12 or 12 by 14 feet square and 8 to 10 feet in height will be ample in size for the ordinary family Perhaps the best construction for an icehouse is one with a stucco finish, as shown in the accompanying illustration. The stucco is simply two costs of portland cement plaster over wood or metal lath. Native lumber may be used and the studding covered with rough lumber, over which is placed the stucco finish. The sand and gravel for cement work are usually found on the farm or close at hand, which makes the cement work cheaper than wood. This house has a composition roof and a ventilator built of boards 1 by 2 feet square. The spaces between the rafters are left open for ventilation, and the walls are plastered down to grade line. The dirt should be so graded that all water will drain away from the house. Watch the Orchard. Those who argue that fruit is uncertain and that the orchard is soldom profitable do not give an estimate of the work given their trees. It may be that their orchards do not get much attention, which, of course, explains why they are unprofitable. A GOOD FODDER WAGON. Heavy Work of Hauling Green Corn and Other Feed Greatly Lightened by Using Vehicle Here Shown. Until a loader has been perfected the style of wagon used in hauling fodder needs careful consideration. The rack should be as low as possible. A solid wheel truck gives good satisfaction on smooth, level farries, with short hauls. The draft is too heavy for other con- ditions. The rack that is quite commonly used is shown in our illu- tration. It consists of two 4 by 6 inch bed pieces, elevenh or twenty feet in length, bolted together at one end; to form a V_2. On top of these timbers is built a rack six feet in width. The A choice stock of printing sundries and our supply rooms have an assortment that will please the most fastidious. We print programs, hand-bills, posters, visiting cards, business cards, bill heads, special designs in book-keeping, financial cards and books, order books, statements, note-heads, letter heads, placards, minutes, pamphlets of every description, envelopes, large and small, streamers, badges, milk-tickets, labels, seals, policies, supplies for insurance companies and benevolent and secret orders. 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., long. The end boards are four feet high, bolt faring so they do not quite touch the wheels. The apex of the V is suspended below the front axle of an ordinary farm wagon by means of a long kingbolt; the other ends are attached below the blind axle by U-shaped cloosers. This rack can be easily made. The materials needed in its construction are eighty board feet of $^2$ by 6 inch plank, ninety-six feet of boards 1 by 12 inches, one long kingbolt, one stirrup rods and bolts and nails. Hauling green corn is heavy, tiresome work, and too much attention cannot be paid to details of methods in order to avoid unnecessary lifting. Before the advent of the corn harvester, when the corn was cut by hand and hauled unbound, it was a common practice to have the cutter set on a platform about two and a half feet above the ground. A man could pick up an armful of corn on the wagon and, stepping on the platform, place it on the feeding table. With the corn bound in bundles this arrangement causes much extra labor. Nevertheless many farmers still keep the cutter upon the platform and lift the corn up to it when they could much more easily drop it on the table if the cutter were down on the ground. A HANDY POTATO SORTER. Much Time and Labor Saved by Simply Rolling Potatoes on Screen, When Small Ones Will Fall Through. The tellous labor involved in sorting many bushels of potatoes can be relieved with the device shown in the illustration and the amount of work done in half or a third of the time possible under the hand method. A frame is built to go over a large box or bin. This is covered with one inch mesh chicken wire and set so that it glists upon the box or bin. The Wire Screen Potato Sorter. pointets are placed upon this screen; and the small ones pass through the meshes into the box or bin below. The larger potatoes roll down toward the lowest end of screen. Two men standing on each side of the device can pick out all the damaged potatoes as they roll down over it, thus securing perfectly sorted pointets with but a fraction of the time, later and expre-required to sort them by handling forth one. If the device is placed on a bin that is several feet from the ground, an inclined surface should be placed at the foot of the screen so the tubers will not be bruised by dropping directly to the floor or ground.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES When a dealer buys fabrics he is pretty sure to cut into both ends of the barrel. It is an easy matter to make a valu- able tree out of a poor one by top grafting. Do not prune your trees until the gap has gone out of them, then prune sparingly. Late cultivation in the orchard means late growth, which may be bad if next winter is a hard one. It is a mistake to cultivate an or- chard on a hillside. Nothing but good soil will hold the soil there. There is scarcely a farm apple or- chard in existence that cannot be re- novaled to a profitable purpose.

We arrived at Yuma Arizona and we saw Indiana in their native costumes with their paint and feathers with their long black hair, their erect forms, their lounging air. When the train stopped we saw half a dozen Indian squawns (women) seated on the ground, with their shawls spread before them and their souvenirs displayed. The prices were on cards and all a passenger had to do was to pick up the beaded pocketbook handing or necklace, and pay the price. They nodded their thanks A GOVERNMENT RESERVATION We doubt if they could speak English. We remained there some time and purchased a trinket of one of them. We could not buy from all of them. We learned then that the government reservation for the Indians was located here and that they had the right of way for many miles. This was a picturesque town, but with no inviting features. We were now wearing our orange-colored badge of the local committee of the American Bankers Association and the conductor seeing it wanted to know all about the only colored banker he had ever seen in his life. A FAREWELL LOOK. He was deeply interested. He asked us about the number of bankers aboard as he was to telegraph the information ahead to Los Angeles in order that the committee might be prepared to meet us. The train was about to pull out after the slightly disabled locomotive, which brought us into Yuma had been replaced by another. We took a farewell look at those Indian squawks, who a moment before had been scouted on the ground. Their trinkets had disappeared. The shawls were around their shoulders, and they showed no sign whatever that but a few moments before they had been selling their beaded handwork to the passengers. A PICTURESQUE SCENE From the rear end of that observation car we watched the Indians. They could be seen now in all quarters. Some were in the shrubbery, others were walking down the railroad track and still others were wending their way towards the roostervation where their villages were located It was a picturesque sight, one long to be remembered and we regretted that we did not buy more of the wares of these simple and to all appearances, inoffensive people We could now see the peculiar foliage and plants of southern California State palms were to be seen on every side TROPICAL PLANTS We could see too, the orange groves and the lemon trees. An overcast was not to be thought about and we more than once rejoiled over the fact that the new one which we had purchased was safely in our truck which we had sent on before. We were too in the land of good roads. We could see the irrigation system adopted by the government and which transformed vast areas of desert land into arable farms where the products brought gladness to the hearts of the cultivators. THAT INLAND 6EA We saw too the "Salted Sea" produced by the damming up of the Colorado river. For fifty miles or more this artificial lake could be seen from the railroad train. There too were three abandoned lines of track. As the water-rose higher, new lines were built. It was a scene of increasing interest and transpendent splendor. Foudist Killa Jaller Wesley Turner, jailer of Breathitt county, was shot and killed on a street near the jail at Jackson, Ky by "Bad Jake" Noble, a noted feudist and a prominent figure in the Hargis and Cookkill feuds. No cause for the killing is known. Turner and Noble had been close friends. Bade Wife Farewell; Drank Poison. Edward Waltrauen, thirty years old, a Camden, Del, paperhanger, committed suicide by drinking a phial of carbolic acid Waltrauen leaves and wife and a daughter, whom he bade farewell before going to his bedroom to commit the crime. Noise Burst Hia Ear Drum. While he was out hunting near the Buckhorn, west of Altoona, Pa., Grocer Charles J. Barr scared up a rabbit. He let go with both barrels of his gun, and the sound destroyed the hearing of his right ear. Michael Cudahy Seriously Ill. Michael Cudahy, the packer, a multimillionaire, is seriously ill at his apartments in the Ritchakstone hotel in Chicago. The patient's son, John Cudahy, of Kansas City, was requested by telegraph to burry to his father's side. ↑ FLIES FROM SHIP OVER SEA TOLAND Ely Makes Spectacular Flight From Mayal Vessel. WEATHER CONDITIONS BAD Daring Aviator Covered About Five Miles in Little More.Than Five Minutes—Biplane Touched Water at the Start. Eugene R Fly the aviator, made the first successful flight from the deck of a naval vessel when his Curtis biplane was started from a temporary launching platform upon the forward deck of the scout cruiser Birmingham, which was anchored in Hampton Roads, off Old Point Comfort. Va It was the most spectacular flight ever seen in this country. After many hours of preparation Ely finally climbed into his machine. He had been delayed for several hours by flurries of ball and rain. He was anxious, however to start in spite of the adverse weather conditions. Finally his acrobatics was started down the platform, which was inclined at an angle of about five degrees. His machine gathered momentum rapidly, Ely mating a slight miscalculation in controlling the levers, which made his machine dart down toward the water. The wheels to the tip of his propeller just barely touched the water. He succeeded in righting the machine and by skillful maneuvering of the control levers it darted upward like a songgirl. Ely rose to a height of about 100 feet and flew about five miles toward Willoughby Spit, just opposite Old Point Comfort, where he landed anfly. During the flight a biting wind and rain prevailed, which prevented the aviator from identifying the landmarks. Machine Touched Water. It was Ely's original intention to fly from the dock of the Birmingham to the Norfolk navy yard, a much greater distanced, but he was prevented by the adverse weather conditions. As his machine touched the water the spray flow into his goggles almost blinding him, which prevented him from continuing the flight to the navy yard. His propeller blade was also slightly chipped by contact with the water, but not sufficiently, however, to interfere with the flight. Every spectator on the naval vessels and the other craft which were gathered in the roads breathed hard for a FALL, WINTER AND HOLIDAY SHOES.

They responded instantly and the machine traveled swiftly upward in almost a straight line to Willoughby Spitt. He saw the land directly ahead of Willoughby Spitt and descended there without difficulty. He covered about five miles in a little more than five minutes. His machine traveled at the rate of about fifty five miles an hour. A launch from the scout cruiser pickel Ely up and placed him on board the destroyer Roe, on which he returned to the Norfolk navy yard. Waa Slave to Gypay Kling: Stranger thanSETTEN, and almost unbelievable, is the remarkable deathbed statement of Miss Jesolo Hersham, daughter of H. G Hersham, a prominent canning broker of Baltimore, Md., who died at the Seton hospitals in Cincinnati, O. a few hours after giving birth to a baby girl. According to the girl's statement she was stolen from her home in Baltimore five years ago by a band of gypseus, sold to one of the tribe for $800, and then, under hypnotic influence, compelled to be the slave and wife of the king of the gypseus. The long search of the past five years in every niche and corner of the United States, it is said, has ruined the girl's father's health, so that the sister superior, who notified him of his daughter's death by telegram, received a telegram stating that he was too sick to come to Cincinnati at the present time to prosecut the abductora. The shock of the girl's abduction, it was further said, was too great for her mother, who died several months afterward. Miss Haberham was twenty-five years old. Her large brown eyes and perfect features showed that she had been very pretty, but her years of suffering had emasculated her face. She said that she had been enclosed away from home by an old gypsy woman, who belonged to a tribe that was staying near the Habersham home. She was then sold by this woman to her nephew for $000 and compelled by him to work hard and to endure more than the hardships of the ordinary gypsy slave. If the pre-merger of the nation can be reflected in deposits in savings banks, the year which ended on June 20 must have been a banner one for the American people. The high cost of living does not appear to have diminished savings according to figures compiled in the treasury department. Depositions in the 1799 savings banks during the year increased to more than 4,600,000,000. The average depositor's account was $446,322, just $2477 above the average of the year before. There are 30,000 more savings bank depositors than there were a year ago, and the total of the deposits has swelled $357,000,000 during the year. The statistics compiled in the treasury department for the second time in the history of American banking include also the reports from 7145 national banks. 5948 state and private banks State banking superintendents cooperate with the national bank system to make what is practically a uniform report of banking conditions in the country. Banking capital employed in the United States increased $30,000,000 during the year Individual deposits in all the banks increased more than $1,240,000,000 and the aggregate assets increased $133,000,000. The banks, however, are holding about $33,000,000 less in cash than they did in 1909. --- Stain Glaia's Body Found in Woods. The body of Mario Smith, the ten-year old school girl, who disappeared last Wednesday after leaving the Bradley schoolhouse in Asbury Park, N. J., which she attended, was found in the woods of Wannamas, about 260 feet from the main road. The body was lying in a pool of blood. There was a deep gash on the top of her head, evidently inflicted by an axe. Coronor Pudry ordered an autopsy and at once accompanied a jury. The autopsy revealed that the body had been maltreated after death. There is great excitement in Asbury Park and a crowd assembled at the undertaking establishment where the body was removed. Thomas Williams, a negro, employed by the girl's aunt, was arrested as a suspect. Marie was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Smith, of Whitesville. For three days searching parties have been out scouring the woods and dragging the lakes. Benjamin K. Focht, of Union county, congressman-elect, filed a bankruptcy petition at Scranton, Pa.
