IT MISSING BLOOMING BASE OF GIRL CORNER THEREIN IN COURT, THEN WEST HUMAN CLASSIFIER. Father of Owenley Church Hold by Offence Until Investigation is Made. Lafayette, La., Jan. 22.—As a result of the slaughter of a family of five colored people in Lachine Charles making twenty-six victims in this section of a seemingly well-organized band of beads, the people are naturally stirred to a very high tension of apprehension, and especially is this true among the colored people, to which race the diabolical crime have so far held confined. From the first Sherik Lestercie, Chief Omaniyah and other officers have suspected that there must be some religious Sunniism prompting the commission of the bloody deaths, and had Saturday bound to be arrested. Rev. King Harrison, of Jamaica, who it now appears, organised a new quail at several towns along the Bahrain-Portia Road, including Crowley-Jennings and Ladipettah. Harrison was in Ladipettah November 29, the day of the killing of the Rwandi family of six members, and Sherik Lestercie has been quietly at work collecting evidence. Harrison, in the Sherik Jail, today was asked to go on the hawking of his meat, commensal kitchens as the Sherik Church. The tolerated preacher was asked to bring out the views of the church on the subject of marriage. Harrison, who is rather important, being hardly able to read with any facility, said that the name of his organization is the Christian Instituted Holy Church, with headquarters at West Lake, near Lake Chad, of which Rev. D. Furstley, the pastor, and C. Eigentler, the president, the church is rather with which numbersing daily about five at West Lake and half of eight in the church. Harrison dutton commissioned that an annual meeting of the church be held in the township to raise people in the commission of any unlawful not much less the few deeds that have so recently been reported in this section of the state. The church is about ten years old and proclaims the Gospel of the New Testament, urging people to follow in the footsteps of Christ, believing in the baptism of the Holy Ghost and of fire and not immersion, pouring or sprinkling. He may be seldom refers to the Old Testament, but read and proclaimed from the New Testament peace and good will toward all men. While there are times that people are moved to shouting and singing under religious fervor, the entitlement is nothing more than may be witnessed at ordinary revivals in any church. It is evident, however, from all the preacher add, that he had no clear conception of the fundamental tenets of his religion, although his simple protection of innocence as to there being no teaching of human sacrifice may be perfectly sincere and honest. He repeatedly stated that there was nothing in his church that could possibly be construed as approving or condoning crime of any kind. Sherid Lacone will hold Harrison as accessory for some time, or until he has completed the line of investigation upon which he is now at work. If the theory of the authorities proves true as to the human sacrifice feature of these crimes, as appears plausible from the inscription reported as written on the door of the Negro cabin in the Lake Charles area, the matter will be an exact parallel of the municipal organization broken up by the police in New Orleans a few years ago and known as the "Home of God." Another arrest was made to-day by the officers at Crowley for the crime there, and to-day Deputy Sherid Burke came to Lafayette with New John Whitman, pastor of the Minneapolis Baptist Church at that place. Whitman, when seen, said he could not in good hope he or his church could be associated with the horrible crime. His church taught nothing but the doctrine ordinarily taught in church of that denomination. Written gold that he personally had consecrated the truman, and would give any confidence in his power to resist the efforts in arresting and punishing the perpetrators. GARDEN OFFERED THIS REWARD. President and Woman Arrested at Owens—Central People Area in France. Owens, 14, Mk. 71.—Two arrests were made this afternoon in connection with the arrest of the Woman Body in central Greece. The arrest was made by police and the woman was arrested by Dr. Jasmin Hassan, the police officer. trist Attorney Robra that he will offer a reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of the murderer or murderer. The series of butcheries of colored families in this and neighboring parishes, in which twenty-six colored people have been slaughtered in their sleep within a few months has thrown the colored population of Crowley into almost a panic, and unless something is done to stop the murder it is predicted that Chestnutt, the Negro quarter, will soon be depopulated. In every Negro house in Crowley lights are kept burning all night and the adult members of the family remain awake during the night, fearing to run the risk of a visit by the assailant who murders his victims by wholesale with an am, sparing neither women nor children.

LYNCHED NEGROUS INNOCENT At Least Three of Moe's Four Victims Mud No Fur in Murder. Hamilton Ga., Jan. 24.—Developments following the lynching here on Monday night of four colored people, one of them a muttattoo girl, for the alleged murder of Norman Hathaway, indicates that the mob certainly put at least two innocent persons to death and probably three, and there is no convincing evidence that the fourth man had anything to do with killing Hathaway. It is certain that Bertha Hathaway the girl, was innocent, and it is said that her husband, Gertrude Hathaway, and her husband, Norman Hathaway, were convicted and sentenced. Bertha was an unmarried planter and it is said he was infiltrated with the girl Bertha Hathaway. He had been pursuing the girl and had been warned to keep away from her. He disregarded the warning, however, and on Sunday afternoon went to the girl's home and tried to get her to come out to meet him. While Hadley was at the girl's home he was shot, but no one knows by whom. Henry Anderson, one of the men lynched, is said to have wanted to marry the girl, and it is possible that he shot the young planter. Bertha Hathaway said Hadley was shot by some one in ambush while he was calling her to come to him. The developments have caused great indignation and a determined effort will be made to ferret out the members of the mob. Bertha Hathaway was only 30 years old and simply. The colored people are stirred and a number have left the county. As a result farmers are having trouble getting laborers. Editor Clifford's Tribute Martinsburg, W. Va. Pioneer Press) Anyone reading the booklet setting forth the inception and progress of the Mechanics' Savings Bank, Richmond, Virginia, of which John Mitchell, Jr. is President and not receiving an inspiration from the phenomeneal success which has attended its every effort, why, he must be almost other than human. It is without a doubt, to-day, the finest and most stable demonstration anywhere in the United States of the business capabilities of the Negro, when guided by a man of such abruwd parts and great business admen as John Mitchell, Jr.,—to our mind one of the foremost men in America, and a hero among heroes. In conclusion, with our voice as loud as we can get it, we may, long live this great man, and may the doctrines he preaches and the examples he sets be followed by Negroes everywhere.

Philadelphia Division, No. 1, Headquarters, 1520 Lombard Street, Philadelphia, Pa., January 23, '13. Honorable William Howard Taft, President of the United States, Washington, D. C. Honored Sir:— As Field Secretary of the Constitution League, an organization composed of both races and both sexes, with branches in every part of the country, I am writing you to protest against the appointment of Judge William C. Hook to the Supreme Court of the United States to fill the vacancy of the late Justice Harlan. Such an appointment would be an offense and an insult to every colored American; it would also provoke the indignation of every white man who stands for equal rights before the law for all citizens, without regard to race or color; it would be a scandal and a foul blot on your administration. Judge Hook, by his decision in the case of McCabe vs. Atchinson and Santa Fe Railroad, shows that he has an utter disregard for the Constitution of the United States as amended to secure justice. Liberty and equal rights to all citizens without regard to race or color. CLASSED AS NEGRO-HATER. His decision in the above case puts him squarely among that irreconcilable element in our country who are known as Negro-haters. His ideas on the Constitution of the United States are as far from the bounds of Justice Harlan as the police are supposed from each other. In fact, he stands for these things which Justice Harlan would represent with all the violence of his soul—such as the humiliation, persecution—and deserves to be taken to the Supreme Court and to them of equal rights under the law. It would be an insult to Justice Harlan's memory to put such a man as Judge Hook in his place on the Bench of the Supreme Court of the United States. I may respectfully add, that the colored citizens of the United States are entitled to consideration at your hands, and I hope that you will not withhold it from them. With assurances of my very high regard, etc. I am Very truly yours (Signed) WILLIAM A. SINCLAIR. The National Hair-Grower prevents Baldness Protects and Beautifies the Hair.

Domiciliary Committee Plans to Make Inspection Tour of Jackson Ward. How to alleviate congested conditions in Jackson Ward occupied the attention of the Council Domiciliary Committee last night for two hours. The committee finally decided to make a personal tour of the congested area to see "things with their own eyes." The committee is composed of Messrs. Vonderleh, Kain, Mitchell Pollock and Richards. The latter two were absent last night. Quite a representative delegation of colored folks were on hand, with facts and figures, to show that Jackson Ward, in which the major part of their number in Richmond reside, is sadly in need of better streets, better housing conditions, more water, shelterage and other facilities necessary to comfort and the improvements of sanitary conditions generally. These improvements are needed first, they insisted. Afterward additional territory for the colored people may be annexed, if the city sees fit to do so. STREETS UNSWEPT. Ben Jackson, member of the City Council in reconstruction days, who looks as wise as Solomon himself, told the committee that some of the streets in Jackson Ward had not been swept in four or five months. Others told of neglected gutters, of mud angle deep along the sidewalks. And still others eried out against the nylon owl, the bane of their race. S. B. Steward, a well-to-do merchant, said there are twenty-two barrooms in his section of the city. In contrast he pointed out, that only two saloons are permitted in the extensive residential section of the white people in the West End. "If the saloons are a nuisance, why don't you protest against them?" asked Chairman V. V. V. "We have protested, but it did no good," answered W. A. Jordan, a leader of his race. "We have weared of protecting." ARMED WITH STATISTICS. The Rev. Daniel Webster Davis, who also carries the title of professor, came loaded down with figures and statistics, which he promised to let the committee have in properly compiled form before it goes forth on its inspection tour. Mrs. B. B. Munford and Miss Elizabeth Cocke, who are deeply interested in settlement work and especially in the uplift of the Negro in Richmond, also promised to supply the committee with valuable data and information. Both addressed the committee at some length. Mrs. Munford particularly laying stress on the unsanitary housing conditions that need attention in the colored area. She said this country is far behind England, France and Germany and other European countries in such matters. She believed the committee had a great opportunity before it and she hoped its work would shine forth as a beacon light for movements of a similar character. REMEDY BEYOND COUNCIL. The committee admitted that conditions were bad, but claimed it was rather up to the property owners to place the homes in proper repairs. Council, it maintained, had no authority to that extent. Committeeman Mitchell, who lives in Clay Ward, suggested that some of the residents of the congested colored area be established in the outlying sections of his ward, but this was admitted to be impracticable. As one of the colored speakers said: "The car fare would be too heavy a burden on us if we lived out there. We want to be nearer the centre of the town, where we won't have to travel so far to our work." Chairman Vonderlehr said water, gas and newage would be provided in any new area annexed for the colored people, but this did not prove very alluring. They still insisted that the city should first guarantee more improvements in the section already occupied by them. WOULD WIDEN AREA One of the speakers pleaded that the segregation line be extended so that the Negroes might occupy residences as far southward as Broad street. They believed this would go a long way toward remedying matters. Mrs. Munford, in the course of her talk, laid much rubbish on the necromity of reducing the death rate in Richmond. This she said, could not be effected to any extent until the housing condition of the colored population is improved. City Attorney蒲尔 met with the committee throughout the session. He heartily approved the suggestion of a personal suspension船. Many within the committee will take the steps necessary to improve the condition of their housing by the means of the proposed law. The committee will be pleased that the law was done, the committee will be satisfied. PERSONAL AND BRIDAL Mr. Norman Wesley continues quite sick at his residence, 707 East Franklin Street. Mrs. Maria B. Jackson of 900 N. Seventh Street has been ill during the past week. Mrs. Edith Williams Bradford, who has been seriously indisposed for the past several weeks is gradually improving: Mr. C. C. Johnson left last Wednesday for Atlantic City, N. J., after spending several weeks in the city with him many friends. Mr. James E. Height, who has been seriously ill at his home in Old Dominion Street, South Richmond, is improving slowly. Mr. R. T.

CHAPTER NNII THERE was one whose guilty eyes were closed to the red dancer near one of the house in the Street of the Misty Valley, under the green mosquito netting. Phil lay in a log-like slumber. The soft light of the paper and endow flowed over the gay wadded fox, the handsome beautified with its mark of the matry and, at one side, a little wooden pillow of black lace. There was no sound save the sweep of the wind outside and the heavy breathing of the unconscious man. For three nights past, since his wild motor ride from Nikko, he had not slept, which in illumination snatches, from which he had waked with the sweat breaking on his forehead. Short as were these, they had held horrid or stones, broken fragments of scenes that waved and clustered about the illuminated star in the Tak'ikii cathedral, school to the solemn service of the dead. Again and again there had started before him the stolid ring of blue clad coolie women, awaying as they had waved to the straw ropes of the pilgriver in the most bottom with their weird chest- Yo-maya-ko-ra! Yo-maya-ko-ra! And now they chanted a terrible re- frain: Thou-shalt-not-kill! To tonight, however, deeper potions had done their work. He was dream- ing—yellow dream like the blackguard fancying of the half world—vizions in which he moved, a prince of largeness, through unending pleasures of self indulgence. He was on a European hovelward riding with Hara by his side in silk and pearls, and people turned to gaze as he went by. But now, with sinister toop survy- dom, the drum, changed. The cochlear drive faint and faint into a mud gullet. He turned his head, and Phil saw that the tone under the gimsed hat was the face of his dead brother. The staring pedestrians began to pursue the carriage. They answered brow- after blow on it till the sound reverber- ated like thunder. Not the ghosts of his dream, but a head of fish and blood, was knocking it on the outer wall and the trail dwelling short beneath it. The servant, stuck in her woven sleep, heard no sound, but the shimmer in the surrounding that shimmered inside the wripping gills gave rise from flounder, and swam a leaping waddle a day behind and entwined themselves. of SLEEP SWORDS girl!" he said boarsely. "Where is she?" Phil looked about him dazedly—at the tumbled fite, the deserted wooden pillow. Haru gone? His senses, clouded by intoxication, took in the fact dully as a thing of no meaning. The expert grasped him by his shoulder and shook him till the thin talk of the kimoon tore under the enormous white fingers. The violence had its effect. The dase fell away Phil broke into loud imprecations. "Did you tell her anything?" Phil's tongue clove to the roof of his mouth. "What is—what makes you think?" he stammered. Bersonin's face was a greenish hue His great hands shook. "Tonight," he said in a whisper. "to night—an hour ago—I saw her on the street. I wasn't sure at first, but I know now it was she. A naval officer was with her. He took her into the house of the minister of marine. The other gave a low cry. A chalky pallor overspread his features. "Haru! No, Bersonin: You're crazy, I say She—she would never tell." Fury and terror blazed out on the big man's countenance. A sharp moan came from his lips. "So she did know! You told her then, oh, incredible fool!" For an instant the demon of murder looked from the doctor's eye. Phil qualified before him. A frenzy of fear twisted his features. He felt the passion that had been his undulating shriver and fade like a perchment in a dame. His voice rose in a kind of scream "Don't look at me like that!" he raved. "I was a fool to treat her, but it's done now. It's done. I tell you and you can't undo it: What can they do to us? They may find the machine but what can they prove? We're for eigens. They can't touch us without proof." He had no thought now of the millions that were to have been his. All the grandioquent pictures he had painted of the future faded in panic the trembled extensively. "Proof!" answered Bersoning savagely. "There would have been none if it happened. I had arranged that. In JILL JONES. "DID YOU TELL ME AFTERIVER?" its operation the machine destroys it self. And neither of us is in Yokohama tonight." "Ihla's aspen face set. Iils tongue curled round his perched lips. 'What is to be done? Can we still—" "Listen," said the doctor. "A single hour more, even with your curled fety, and all would have been well, for no trains are running and all wires are down. I heard this afternoon, too, that the wireless is out of order." "Then—they cannot" — Phil voice shock with a painful aggrament: "Walt: When I saw the girl there I was suspicious. I watched. In a little while your friend doesn't come from the gate. In some way he happened to be there. The beto was flouting the horses like a crazy man. He came in this direction. Can't you understand his airplane? He is going to use it as a last chance. If he succeeds he may spend our three in the copper mines. If we can be stopped we may win yet. There will be nothing but the tale of a Japanese draat—that and nothing else." Phil flung on his clothing in a madness of hands. The desperate dream that had raged in him was broken now a single idea framed over an a cold, dimly foxy Uncle Arthur spite of red sprinkling in his white cheeks, alloy dilated to the means of the persecution. Hallam, he rushed through the little garden, cleared the rear gate at a board, and led like a runaway from hall toward the darkness of the rest parade ground. As Beveronia stood by the wisteria gate beside the painting motor continued thoughts rushed through his mind late into an edifying phantasmagogy. The fear and agitation which he had kept under only by an illuminated and animated screen with dancing wings. He was lighting of darkness in the last few of his breath. The public face of the girl in the brown dress came to the screen, smirking with pride. He pled to force his quiet into silence, to look the skeleton in the mirror. If Fall failed, if the nurse gave an apology and wind, if the baby grew was reached in time, the medicine made horns, and nothing would happen. Who, then, would be here the girl's wild story? Who could show that he had made it? He had worked at night, slept in his incubator laboratory. Bodism it would make nothing. It would yield its secret body to the master mind. And if its presence on the roof contained anybody it would not be him! He had not put it there. He had not been in Tokyo home in three days! If the newplane did not start—he remembered the look on Phil's face when he pushed a way—or if it failed! With its own deadly ray, the very machine would vanish. Phil had not known this—could not have told. The searchers would find nothing! The news would have flashed along the cables that must roll up for him vast some in the panic of markets. And there would be nothing to bring the dead home to him! Nothing? The warning had been given before the fact. The government had taken alarm. Bureaux were banning already. Booster or later the accession would be running through the street, swiftly and steadily, from soble to merchant, from coole to begar, from end to end of this something oriental city, wherein be was a marked man! What mattered it whether there were evidence on which a court would condemn him? The story of his huge coup in the bourse would be told—would rise up against him. He remembered suddenly a tale be had heard of a traitor to Japan cut to pieces in a tea house. An ice sweat broke out on his limbs. Where was there any refuge? On a foreign ship? There were many in the bay. He longed with a desperate longing for the touch of a deck beneath his feet, a bulwark of blue water between him and possible vengeance. At Kisaraa, on the Chiba road, a dozen miles to the north in the curve of the bay, was his summer villa, his frequent resort for a week end. His nephtha launch lay there always ready for use. He could reach it in an hour. "Get into the tonneau," he said to the chaufeur. "I'll drive myself." He took the wheel the other resigned, threw on the clutch, and the clamorous monster moved off down the quiet lane faster and faster till the chauffeur clitched the seat with unanimouss. The fever of sight was on his master now. He began to imagine voices were calling after him. From a police box she ahead a man stepped into the roadway waving a hand. It was no more than a warning against 'over-speed, but the gesture sent a thrill of terror through the big man at the wheel. He swerved sharply around a corner, shuffling on two wheels. Beneath muttered a curse as he pursed before him, for the stretch was brilliantly illuminated. He was on the street of prayer-to-the-Gods, which tonight seemed strangely alive with hubbub. That afternoon, with the passing of the rain, there had been held a neighborhood banquet, a "flower viewing expiration." The cavalcade had just returned a foot, since the trams had ceased running at midnight, the men merry with sake, the women chattering. A few children still wakeful scampered here and there. The chauffer leaned forward, with an exclamation—they had all but run down a bobbling figure "Keep your hands off!" snarled Bersoin. "Let them get out of the way." There was a small figure in the roadway—a six-year-old,习叼叼 had not gone to the banana that day. For many hours that long afternoon while his mother cared for the sick father, he had beat the thyroid that soothed a baby's feet, comforted by the promise that he should be waked in the great hour when the crowd came home. Now, standing in the road, he heard the rum of the running motor, and a quick thought—born of that instinct of sacrifice for the parent that is woven, a golden thread, in the roof of the Japanese soul—darted into his baby brain. One of the big wagons of the seiyo-jin was coming. When the carriage killed Torn, his playmate, the foreigner had sent much money to Torn's home. He was not sorry any more, because the white fainted man whom he killed, who lived in the temple, had told him what a fine thing it had been. For Torn's honorable father had been fighting with the black, the noir-devil—it was almost like a war—and Torn had died just as the brave soldiers did in battle. A great purpose flooded the little soul. Was he no brave too? So we Sarmain, with a smart, shook of the hand of the chauffer and throw the throttle wide open, which did not scamper with no rest. With his hands tightly clenched in his patched kimoch, his angry clogs clattering on the roadway, he ran straight into the path of the hurting mean of road. There was a sudden, sickening jolt. The car leaped forward, dragging something beneath it that might so sound. The chauffer hurled himself across the seat on the gas, and the automobile mapped with a grinding clash of screeching punches. A wave of people came around it—a wave without entry, but holding a smashed murmur like the sea, who were opening doors, killing the street with light. A man beast and drew something quietly from between the whoses. With a writhing cath the desert The company made no reply, but the wrote that backed the world held right on itself. The company said in its call, to encourage buying and sell the world, they are offering five interest rates. The company strongly insisted that they would not sell the world. Will Jones WO CHI MR SAID KAVASILY Bersonm. He had felt it coming when he faced the truth in Philip creating admission. The horrible comparison to laughter was on him. The damnable man-kysteria had him by the throat. He jaws opened. He lingered a grudely peal of merchant that echoed up and down the latticed street. And as he lingered he knew that he raised a peril, nearer, more fearful even than that from which he had been dying. There was an instant's shocked calm, like the silence which follows the distant sport of blue fame from the muscle of a Krupp gun; then, like its answering detonation, in such a menacing roar as might arise from the brink of an inferno, the silence of the quiet street burst into awful sound. Two minutes later but a single lighted adult glimmered on the darkened thoroughfare. The roadway was deserted save for a soldierly figure in policeman's uniform who stood thoughtfully looking at a buddle in the dim roadway—a mixture of wrenched and battered iron and glass, in the midst of which lay an insert, shapeless something that might have been a bundle of old clothes fallen from a scavenger's cart. CHAPTER NXVUL BARBARA rested ill in her cabina bed that night. Confused dreams troubled her, mingling familiar thoughts in kaleidoscopic confusion, dragging her from one angle to another in a warying rapidity against which she straggled in vala. One thing ran through them all—the gold lacquer Buddha, that had stood on the Seudal chest in her bedroom at the embassy, only it seemed to be aneat that last image before which she had used to sit with a child. She had no feeling of awakening, but all at once the visions were gone, and she lay open eyed, swinging to the movement of the sea, feeling the night to be very long. There came over her a cropping impression, a sense of terror of the night, of its hidden mysteries and secret forces. The darkness seemed to be holding some dreadful, stolid, retractable things that sprang from horizon to horizon. A small, molten clock was hung beside the bed. She could see its pale face in the light of the thick ground glass bulb that served an night lamp. It was nearly 4 o'clock. She twisted back the lawyer brown burge of her hair, row and dressed as hastily as she could in the marching space. Then she opened the door and passed into the saloon. A roll of the yacht slammed to the cabin door and left her in darkness. She felt for the electric switch, but before she could find it another movement sent her reeling against a stand. She threw out her arm to stay her fall and attack something. There was a clicking sound, a soft whir, and then the music of samplers filled the dark room. She realised that she had sungered against the photograph in the corner and that the shock had starred its mechanism. Wincing, she grouped her way to a chair and sat down, trembling. The music died away. There was a pause, a sharp click, a curious con- tusion of sounds, and then, husky and blimy, a human voice. "Barbara!" She caught her hands to her throat, her blood chilling to ice. It was the voice of Austen Ware speaking, it seemed to her, from the world beyond. She crouched back, breathing fast and hard, while the voice went on in strange broken periods, threaded by a white and clammer that record the noise of the wind outside. "What is that I knocked over? It's buxing, and wheats are turning in it, or is it the palm? Can't you stop it, Barbara? No; I know you aren't here really. I'm all alone. I must be right handed. How stupid!" The strange truth came to her in a stab of realization. What she heard was no supernatural voice. In its fail that night the photograph's spring had been released, and the sammler record had registered also the doirious mutter- ings of the dying man. She felt herself shuddering visibly. "I can't go any further. You--you have done it for me Phil. It was the second blow. It escaped to crash right through." Barbara's heart was beating to burrow. "Annette, Annette," she whispered to herself, to an agoy. "Tell me Was I Phil? You can't know what you're saying." "So we must know it. The law would--so, so. What good would it do now? Let's a bad one, but I--I was always proud of the finely named filth! Resembles, it wasn't Phil! It wasn't Phil!" She fell on her knees, her hands clasping the skin of the chest, thinking to the brain, unconscious then plummeting. "Poor little friend! The one she had loved had to stain of blood she had suffered the most about. What could she have done to save her life? The plight it came to the life of Phil did bring into possession I was so noisy that pearls be what I wanted most. It was the knot that bound the deck of the ship. Why couldn't I have ligature of Phil? Did I tell you I was there that day, Bastien-bastien the shipper, when you followed the Japanese girl into the hound! I could not just what you were thinking. I would never have told you the truth—never." With a faint cry Barbara dug herself backward. In the illusion everything about her for the instant vanished. The yacht's walls had railed away. She was on a gloomy hillside, and a stricken man was speaking—confronting. She slipped. Dust seemed to be the door beam of the stairing room in just past. A quick breath and the thirst grew more the dawn that bound the ship, the throbbed fishing, and the hind foot that made him shiver. It was to creature with the dreadful tide. Phil had been a devout man, he was drunk now with the celestial emanation of overwarming fans. As he grazed a biting, irrelevant memory wreaked Dust's mind of a day at college years before when by a personal appeal he had saved Phil from the disgrace of expulsion. And now it was Phil—Phil clinging there with desperate booked flugers, struggling to commute a crime that must sink him for Again the ghastly attempt to laugh. "A contemptible thing, wasn't it? I know that. I'veI've felt it. I never seemed contemptible to myself before, but I should have bad you, and that would have repaid. It was all coming my way. Then, just the dropping of aocket, and—Phil—and now, it's all over." Barbara felt herself engulfed in a wave of complex emotions. She was torn with a great repugnance, a greater joy and a sense of acute pity that overhasted them both. Then there rolled over all the recollection that what she now listened to was but a mechanical echo. The hillside faded, the walls of the yacht came back. "I never believed in much, and I'm going without whipping. Are you near, Barbara? Sometimes there are many people around me and then only you. I—I think I'm beginning to wander." She was weeping now, unrestrained. There was a long pause, in which the whir of the wheels rasped on. Then— "If it your animal I feel, Barbara? Or is it"— That was all. The wheels whirred on a little longer, a click and alliance. Only the rush of the wind outside and the passionate sobbing of the girl who knelt in the dark room, her face buried in her hands, her heart toned on the cross tides of august and of joy. A long time she knelt there. She was recalled by a confusion on the deck above her—shouts and a hastening of feet. She lifted her face. The dawn had come; its pale, faint radiance sifted through the heavy glass ports and dimly lit the room. The shouts and running multiplied. She sprang to her feet, opened the door and hurried up the companion-way. A BACK WITH DAWN IN that furious pace toward Aoyama Daunt had been consumed by one thought—that upon his single effort hung the saving of human lives, the covering of a shape to his own nation, the turning away of a foul allegation from the people of a friendly empire. He knew that minutes were valuable. On the long, dimly lighted roadways where the flying boots beat their furious tattoo few cars were antir, and the trollers had not yet appealed on the wider thortheras. The rain had washed the air clean, the wind was dullest and sweet, and the stars were pearly bright. Once a pollinator signaled and the driver momentarily slackened speed—then on an before. The borews were white with foam when they reached the parade ground. Here Daunt leaped down and wrenched both lamps from the carriage. "Go home," he said to the bettto and, running through a clump of trees, struck across the waste. The Japanese stared after him mystified, then, with a philosophic objiguration, turned and droved the sweating borne home at a walk. Daunt ran to a low door in the long garage. The key was on a ring in his pocket. He went in, locking the door behind him. There were no electric lights—he had been there heretofore only by day—and the carriage lamps made only a subdued glimmer that was reflected from the potished metal of the great winged thing resting on its carrier. He throw off his evening coat and set feverfully to work. After its single trial the new fan propeller had been unhappied for slight alteration, and the sanges had not yet been resembled. There were delicate adjustments to be made, wire riring tests before all could be safe and sure. He worked swiftly and with concentration, feeling his mind answering to the stress with an absolute coolness. At length the last attachment was in place, the final bolt seat home and one of the lamps lashed close in the angle of the wind screen. He took his place, and the engine started its familiar rhythm—pat-pat, pat-pat, pat-pat—as the explosive drop fell Yazer app faster. He leaped and broke the clutch which, held the big, double door of the building. They awned open, and he threw on the gear. And suddenly, as the propeller began to spin, in the instant the girdle started in its rush down the gudgee Danut waw aware that some one had darted through the doors. He had a flashing view of a white, disheveled face, heard a cry behind him; then the glow of the girdler tilted abruptly, the air whimled past the screens, the great fat field mink away, and he was throbbing steeply upward against the sweep of the wind. Dawn threw himself forward. The bubble in the spirit level chug to the top of its tuck. Rapidly he warped down the elevation vane till slowly, slowly, the callie tubble crept to the middle of the level. What was the matter? The engine was working well, yet there was a sense of heartiness, of eloquence, that was uncontainable. He looked to other men, before him, behind him. His figure tightened on the chairstuff. Just behind of the writing propeller he caught up the figure of a man lying down, the rise of the golden body disappearing the most degree of the presence, leading to him. He sat in a tributary of a curved mountain, with the seven weight that had been placed in his pockets lying on his back, holding the mountain in the the night. Dawn brought the bill for the beams of the diving pants to the first. A quick motion and the first move the door that the following door the throbbing before the midnight saw now was brought with a lock book that made him silent. It was grateful with the deserved of tenure. Phil had been a dreamer; he was drunk new with the enchanted number of overmastering flies. As he gaped a fitting, irrelevant memory eroded Dawn's mind of a day at college期末 before when by a personal appeal he had saved Phil from the disgrace of expulsion. And now it was Phil—Full clinging there with desperate hooked fingers, struggling to commute a crime that must sink him for ever. Pet-pet, pet-pet, pet-pet; on the glider drove. With a fierce effort Dawn crushed down the sense of unreality and swiftly weighed his position. The other was directly in front of the propeller, a pervious place. Only the gray wire was in his reach. Between them was a shuddering space. To land in the darkness to rid the aerospace of that incubus was impatient. He must go on. Could he win with such a terrible handicap? He set his teeth. Tilting the lateral vane, he coarced in a wide serpentine, peering into the deep, recording dark below. Tokyo lay a vast network of tiny pin pricks of fire. He had never been so high before, had been content to sweep the treetops. To the left a bearded acitmar of light merged by blackness marked the bay. Daunt swung parallel with this. Pet-pat, pet-pat, pet-pat. The wind tore in gusts through the structure, the plumes vibrating, the guys humming like the strings of a gigantic harp. His clothing dragged at his body. He was too high. He leaped over the mass of lerens, and the glider sld down a long, steep descent till in the starlight he could see the blue gray blur of roots, the moused shadows of little parks of trees. Now he was passing the edge of the city; now below him was the gloom of the richelieu. A low sobbing sound came in the wind. It was the bubbling chorus of the frogs, and across it he heard the bark of a peasant's dog. To the right a dark hill loomed without out warning, with a dim conglomer of red tea houses. It was the famous Ikegami, the shrine of the Buddhist mint chinren, famed for its plum gardens. It fell away behind, and now far off a score of miles ahead grew up on the horizon a mint bloch of radiance. Yokohama! He swerved, heading out-across the lagoon straight as the bee flies for the shimmering spot. Pat-pat, pat-pat--faster and faster spat the tiny explosions. The glider throbbed and sang like a thing alive, and the hum of the propeller whirled into a scream. Tokyo was far behind now, the pale glow ahead rising and spreading. To the right he could see the clumped lights of the villages along the railroad, Kamata - Kawanaki - Teurumi. He dropped still lower, out of the lash of the wind. Suddenly a flying missile struck the forward plane, which resounded like a great drum. A drop of something red fell on his baw hand, and a feathered body fell like a stone between his feet. A dark carpet, dotted with foam, seemed to spring up out of the gulf. Daunt threw himself at the lervers and rammed them back. The glider had almost touched the sea—for a heartbreaking instant he thought it could never rise. He beard the curl of the waves and a cry from behind him. Then, slowly, slowly breasting the blast, it came staggering up the hill of air to safety. The sky was perceptibly lightening now. Daunt realized it with a tightening of all his muscles. It was the first tentative withdrawal of the forces of the dark. Should he be in time? With his free hand he loosened the coil of the grasp. Suddenly the chances seemed all against success. A feeling of hopelessness caught him. He thought of the two men he had left behind, waiting—waiting. What message would come to them that morning? The engine was doing its best, every fiber of tested steel and canvas ringing and throbbing. But the creeping pallor of the night grew space. Kangawa—the glider above罢了, it left it behind. The many glow was all around new; lights pricked up through the shadow. Tokohama was under his feet, and ahead—the darker mass toward which he was hertling—was the blug. Slowly, with painful anxiety, he swung the huge foot in to skirt the cliffs' seaward edge. There was the naval hospital with its flagship. There beyond was the familiar break in the rampart of foliage, and there, sapping in the wind, was the awning on the sat roof of the Roost. In the dawning twilight it seemed a mastromost, lepros licken, shuddering at the unhealthy thing it hid. Daunt threw out the grapep. He curved sharply in, ascent to the wind, lung down his paw and swept up it. They was a tearing, splintering compass of canvas and bamboo; the glider seemed to step, to tremble, then leaped on. Turning his head, Dawn sat near the awaking dapper like a collapsed bin. He crumpled a glimpse on the steep, ascending roadway of a handful of naked men running staggeringly, one strangler the behind. The thought flashed through his mind that these were the cubes from the Naval college. But they would be too late! The sun was coming on swiftly. The sky was a tide of amethyst—the dawn was very near! He came about in a tiny loop that both cut out over the bay, making the turn with the wind. For a function of a second he looked down on the symmetry of buildings, a gambrel-shaped chamber of black bricks from which swung wings of dark mosaic tile like swirling grapes into the foraging security. A knot, mind much worse from behind him. Desert was everything a gigantic feature of light when water was the first element resplith. It took a difficult process to add water and cure a local disease. He had seen the animals A THE CURVED IRONS TOOK AWAY THE COURT question. To shacken speed meant to fall. He must strike the machine with the body of the glider or with the grapnel. To strike the roof instead meant to be buried headlong, mangled or dead, his errand unaccomplished, down somewhere in that midley of roofs and foliage. The chances that he could do this seemed suddenly to fade to the vanishing pair. A wave of profound hopelessness killed his heart. With Phil's mad, derisive laughter ringing in his ears he dropped the glider's stem and drove it obliquely across. The grapnel bounded and clanged along the tilling, missing the tripod by three feet. On in an upward staggering image, then round once more, wearing into the wind. There was no peace of laughter now from the man clinging to the steel wall. With the clarity of the inanimate Phil now how close the swoop had been. The scourge of the wind and the rapid sight through the rarefied air had asked him to a cunning frenzy. He had no terror of the moment—all his heart centered in the tomorrow. To his dismayed imagination the black square on the tripped represented his safety. He had forgotten why, but Borromeo had made him see it clearly. It never not be teased. Dissent was the devil. He was trying to send him to the copper mine, to work underground with chains on his feet as long as he lived. The gibbered cabinetry and steeply downward. Dissent gripped the levers and with all his strength warped up the forward plane. He felt a pang of sharpened agony. He, too, would fall. The crush was almost upon him. But the glider bung a moment and righted. Further and further he twisted the latrines till she swam up, oscillating. A jack run through her after framework; he turned his head. Clinging with foot and hand, his hair streaming back from his forehead, his lips wide. Phil was drawing himself inch by inch along the sagging guy wire toward him. For a rigid second Daunt could not move a muscle. Then, caught by the upper wind, the perilous slitting of the plamen awrote him. He swung head on, wavered and sweoped a last time for the roof. Pet-pet, pet-pet—crash! The curved irons of the grapnel tared away the coping—sild, screaming. A jolt all but throw him from his seat. There were running feet somewhere for below him, a baiting and shattering of glass in the plamen. He felt a sudden clearance, and the big sorrowplane plunged sidewise out over the bay, with a black, suddenly weight that upon swiftly hanging on its grasmal. A shout tore its way from his lips. Heidess of direction, he wrenched with his fingers to undiphe the grapnel chain. At the same instant the first sunbeam did across the waves and turned the platy gleam to the golden blue glory of morning. And with it, as though the voice of the day it itself, there went out over the water, above the sweep of the wind, a single piercing sweet note of music like the cry of a great splendid bird calling to the natura. Pisherman in taming aspen and allow on hearing junk heard it and whispered that it was the cry of the hammard, the thunder animal, or of the kappa that harned the swimmer to his death. An key blast sounded to about past the gilder into the mouth. Staring, Dawn realized that one of the great planets, the prophet, the after framework, with the man who had climbed to it, were utterly gone: that the glider, like a dead bird caught by the thudding twinge of a ballet, was lingering by its own momentum—to its fall. Had Phil fallen or was it— 7 Pee” SORT RE tee REM er tenet Ee ee A PE ee Ce ee We = Nai thy a es Na ey aN eae ‘ * dt : eos!

Wood row Wilson was not made for presidential timber. --- It is unfortunate that the good white people and the good colored ones cannot put a stop to the mischievous, Negro-hating, trouble breeders, who are constantly stirring up race prejudices. --- It looks as though the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt put the Hon. William Howard Taft in the presidential chair and that the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt will put the Hon. William Howard Taft out of the presidential chair. Hon. Henry Watterson of Kentucky may not be a diplomat, but he impresses one is being in possession of ragged honesty and a person who dislikes sham and hates deceit. His last letter seems to be unanswerable and Gov. Woodrow Wilson seems to have taken this view of the situation. --- Brother Howard of the American Baptist has a long editorial upon the importance of leaving wills when one must "shuffle off his mortal coll." We did not think that our friend, Will Ham, was so near the "shining above" as to be giving his attention to will making.—Mound Bayon Demonstrator. It is evident that Brother Steward had in mind those slow-paying subscribers to the Louisville, Kentucky American Baptist. They are always "going to pay," but never do it. If he can get them to leave a will it may be that conscience may cause them to leave the poor editor both the principal and interest of the newspaper account and possibly "a little something" for the newspaper man's family. We approve of the idea and commend Editor Steward for his far-reaching judgement. We have not been disposed to subscribe to the policy of waiting for dead men's shoes, but in this instance it may be the part of mindless to look after live men's wills. When we come to think of it we hope that all of our Chathamport publishers will have within it not of properly then of insurance policy. We assume them that we will get the latter latter they are doth and then save us the assurance of birthless mails and collecting the accounts us from their estates after they are dead. You are right, Brother Steward, keep up the need work. THE COMMITTEE'S INVITATION. A sub-committee of the Committee upon Charter, Ordinances and Reform of the Richmond, Va. Council invited some of the leading citizens of color to confer with the aforesaid committee relative to the location of a segregated district for colored people somewhere in the neighborhood of the grounds of the Virginia Union University. The meeting was held January 25, 1912 and some of our leading citizens unlightened the members of this committee, who really needed no enlightenment, in a manner that was gratifying to themselves as well as to others. We did not interest ourselves in the proposed scheme for the reason that we knew when it was suggested and we know now that it was only a part of the scheme of the political disturbers of the peace between the white and colored people of this community to enable them to win over the conservative white people to the support of this pernicious and trouble breeding ordinance, which has for its purpose the confacation of property without due process of law. What was the use of making arrangements to build a Utopia in Heardico county for colored people, where few of them now live and to leave the long lanes of streets in old Jackson Ward unpaved the alleys with their cess-pools of fifth, their houses without sowers while the odors from the back yards offer an incense to the nostrils of every person, white or colored, who may have the misfortune to pay business calls in the neighborhood. There are miles of property owned by white and colored people in the section mostly occupied by the latter where the conveniences do not equal the "squatter" settlements on the outside of the city. If the City Council will not appropriate a few thousand dollars for the improvement of the streets in the colored neighborhoods inside of the city, who believes that it will appropriate a few million dollars for improvements outside of the city? The net result of the meeting will be that the agitators will "go to sleep" now that they have secured what they want and that the talk of this annexed neighborhood for the location of Negroes will become only an echo. There is enough room inside of the city of Richmond for every colored family that may desire a home. It is just as it always has been. White people quietly leave their residences in a natural way and colored people come in quietly and take possession of them, playing a fair purchase price or rental for the privileges. There are houses in the annexed territory for white people and hundreds of them have gone there. The few, who remain behind want to go too, but they wish to sell their old houses at exorbitant prices and make the colored people pay these prices. For our part, we insist that we are not Indians, and cannot be lawfully segregated. We are not Chinese and we cannot be lawfully segregated. We are citizens and when we purchase property lawfully, we have the lawful right to occupy the property purchased, whether we select so to do or not. When the proper time comes, this question will be tested. When we get ready to move into our own property, we shall move in. Fine and imprisonment by fellow Virginians have no terror for us. We cannot discriminate lawfully against a colored citizen in the exercise of his property rights. A citizen who is unwilling and too cowardly to contend for vital fundamental rights is not worthy of possessing those rights. A Mr. J. M. Hart has introduced a segregation bill in the legislature of Virginia and will see to it that it becomes a law. It is mischievous and embarrassing, but it is no less unconstitutional. We expect the Supreme Court of Virginia to so rule. In the meantime, we look at all of this legislation against the colored people, who have already been practically deprived of their political rights as a needless persecution of an humble race of people. The result will be that it will in time prove a boomerang. Colored people will continue to buy property wherever they see fit and the protection of them in their property rights must surely come with the consideration of the facts in the case by any impartial legal tribunal. We note that some white persons, who was ashamed to sign his name, wrote a communication to one of our daily papers wasting the white and colored children segregated upon the streets of the city. Why not try the experiment? READ (Time-Dischart, Jan. 20, 1930). The city of Copenhagen had a fairy with the Negro since his admission from polite was usually admitted by a special Copenhagen committee last night, when it began a general discussion of the benefits problems of the Negro race, in their brief, not only on health and security, but their effect on the city generality. The special committee can express as a result of the present, just year of the congregation births an effort on the part of the Copenhagen to prevent Negroes from committing on Clay Street. Twenty or more of the respective leaders of the Negro race have appeared before the commission but night showing that white acquaintances have been made in all divisions or large sections improved for the benefit of white people, there has been no addition to the Negro quarter of the city in a generation; that rows of houses have been standing in the city limits for forty years without water or sewerage; that there is neither curbing, paving nor street cleaning through the poorer sections; that contaminated wells are used by hundreds of families who are unable to secure city water, both because of the unwillingness of the city to extend its mains and because of the conduct of property owners and agents, who, even where such mains are provided, will not supply plumbing for their properties until compelled to do so by the Board of Health. MRS. MUNFORD TELLS OF CONDITIONS. Mrs. B. B. Munford, an active leader in every movement for social uplift in Richmond and Miss Cocke, a member of the 'Nurse' Settlement, described conditions as they had seen them—whole blocks of houses, in hundreds of people live, from three to ten in room, and in whose behalf neither the city nor the property owner has raised a hand in years. Members of the committee had no defense. Ons member, who is also a member of the Street Committee, admitted that improvements had gone where they would do the most good technically, and that since the Negro had been ousted from politics he had little chance in where appropriations are divided according to ward lines and expended by those fighting for re-election. D. Webster Davis, Dr. W. H. Hinges, W. A. Jordan and others presented the side of the Negro patiently and effectively. Frankly, they saw nothing to be gained by the annotation of outlying territory for Negroes, as had been suggested. In a generation the city had failed to give them curbing and sewers in thick settled parts of Jackson Ward, and they saw no reason to believe that those improvements necessary for healthy living would be given in some newly annexed section, where the inevitable bloom would occur and real estate agents force the prices and rents above the heads of those whom it was hoped to aid. NEED FOR MORE ROOM The Negro leaders told of their opposition to the segregation ordinance, not because they wished to push themselves on the whites or to live in a section where they were not desired, but because homes were at a premium in the limited area assigned to them, and they believed that its natural increase in population, as natural by the sources, justified their taking over West Leigh Street and St. James Street in previous years. There are now 47,222 Negroes in Richmond according to the census—approximately one-third of the population. Complaint was also made that in the distribution of the 160 saloons allowed by city ordinance, practically no saloons are allowed in the white residence sections, the house being confined nearly entirely to the business streets, while there are twenty-three streets of Fifth and north of Clay Streets in what is entirely a Negro residence district. Miss Cocke offered to supply the committee with several hundred views of unsanitary conditions breeding disease and immorality, and Mrs. Munford urged upon the committee as its greatest opportunity for service to the city that it make a critical site for the housing conditions of Richmond, especially if could not found the key to the large percentage of crime, and to Richmond's enormous death rate, shown byensus figures to be the largest of any city of its size and conditions in the United States. The committee adjourned to make a tour of inspection of old Jackson Ward, that the members may see for themselves the conditions depicted. It will also be made to the session of Cary and West of Randolph Street, which Mr. Mitchell predicted would furnish ample room for the development of the colored race. Later a report will be submitted to the Council setting forth the necessity, pending a further general annexation of territory, of making better provision for the sewerage and water supply of the poorer sections of the city—white and colored—and that special provisions be made for gas for the poorer sections of the town and improvement of streets to the congested portions of the Negro quarter north of clay and west of Fifth street. Lynchburg, Va.. Jan. 27, 1913. This is to certify that I have received from John Mitchell, Jr. Grand Worthy Commander of the Civil War Veterans Association Cathlehte, (1899.99) from the General Dollars in payment of the assistance of Sister Alice Lofforth, who was a member of St. Paul Court, No. 97 of Lynchburg, Va. STEEL EARNINGS SHOW BIG DROP Total For Last Year the Lowest Since 1908 Earnings of the United States Steel corporation for the fourth quarter of 1911 were $22,105,115, with net earnings of $19,972,521. These figures, which are subject to slight change upon completion of the audit for the year, barely cover the amount applicable to preferred and common dividends at the present rates of 7 and 5 per cent per annum, respectively. The usual quarterly dividends at these rates were declared by the directors at their meeting. Earnings for the year aggregated $104,215,543, with net earnings of $84,524,224. These figures compare with $141,144,001 and $116,395,134, respectively, in 1910, and are the lowest returns since 1903, the year following the financial depression and general industrial depression. After payment of the preferred and common dividends the surplus net income was for the final quarter of the year reduced to $89,638, as against $408,000 in the corresponding quarter of 1910. At the end of the latter year the corporation carried forward a balance surplus of $10,928,719. At the end of 1911 the total surplus was reduced to $4,725,462. STEEL WORKERS ARE UNDERPAID Declares Enormous Profits of Trust Are Used to Grind Down Employee to Present Miserable Condition. That 65 per cent of the employees of the United States Steel Corporation in the Pittsburgh district earn less than the actual cost of subsistence of the average American family in Pittsburgh, was a calculation made before the Stanley steel trust probers in Washington by Louis D. Brandels. "The Associated Charities of Pittsburgh computed the cost of bare existence of a family of a husband, a wife and three children in that city at $768 a year," said he. "By working twelve hours a day, 265 days a year, 65 per cent of the steel workers there earn $1.50 less than the amount actually required for the bare cost of living." Mr. Brandels declared that in ten years the Steel corporation had taken from the American people $650,000,000 in excess of liberal profit on its investment. "This dangerous profit," he said, "has been used to grind down its employee to the misery of their present condition." American labor has been driven from the plants of the steel industry by long hours and lower wages and a system of repression and seclusion not to be found generally outside of Russia, according to Mr. Brandels. "We have been hearing a lot about the tariff which will protect American labor, but the commissioner of labor tells us that 60 per cent of the steel employees are foreign born, and out of all American labor 14 per cent are foreign born." Mr. Young, of Michigan, interrupted him, saying: "Such figures would suggest there is contract labor." "I don't know," replied Brandon. "But any large employer of labor finds it possible without entering into violation of the contract labor laws to attract to his place people who would not otherwise come. The 60 per cent of slaves and 20 per cent of other foreign laborers in the plant plant is not an accident. When you find this percentage you may conclude, I take it, that the result is one that who contemplated and controlled, especially as it appeared in one of the most thorough operations in the world." Mr. Brandon signed forth reports of John A. Pink, of the Russell Byp Survey, in which Pink discussed in all his pages what he discovered in the department of finance, the revenue of the company. In his papers he wrote that the company is situated in the business district of St. Louis. The first time he was in the army he was in Sepang. In his year he was in Penang. Postwar there he was the national police man, and the superintendent who were forced to work for him were all local action men. Brandeis enrolled the pension system of the Steel corporation, as a "pension package," and then panned to a discussion of the so-called bone arm and the stock purchase system. "In the division of the bone fund in one of the plants," he said, "out of inventory-two employees who received reward, fifty-two were superintendents, amongst superintendents and foremen, who were civil and mechanical engineers, six were in the mechanical department, and five were of the office administrative force. There was not a laborer benefited by the fund. "It gives the incentive which is the most feared by the workmen—not the ordinary incentive to drive men, but the incentive to drive men in the hope of a reward. To speak of the stock purchase feature as profit-sharing in a misnomer." TAKES SELF TO JAIL Hands Warden Paper Committing Himself to Prison. A continuous ringing of the gong at the county prison entrance in Easton, Pa., caused Warden Collins to surrender the cause. He found a man who said: "I am Harry Hahn. "Squire Koch, of Moore township, sent me down." He presented a paper committing himself to jail in default of ball on a charge preferred by Mary Frack, of Moore township. "The squire didn't have a constable handy and he knew I would keep my word when I told him to give me the commitment and I'd take myself to jail." said Hahn. BRYAN'S NAME WITHDRAWN At Same Time Harmon's Goes on Nebraska Primary Ballot The name of Judson Harmon, of Ohio, was filed as a presidential candidate in Lincoln, Neb., for the presidential preference primary. At the same time the name of William J. Bryan was withdrawn from the ballot, although this is Bryan's home state. RISE AND FALL A boy was driving along a road in Ireland a donkey and cart which belonged to his widowed mother when he was accosted by a snobbless young man, who, wishing to impress his cleverness upon a young lady who accompanied him, said, "Watch me take a rise out of this boy." He healed to the boy, "I say, do you think your mother would sell me that donkey?" The boy took a good look at him and answered, "Do you think your mother could keep two?" The smart young man didn't laugh, but the young lady did. Sports Fishing Customs The Japanese are a race of fisher folk and, like all of their kind, are superstitious, particularly, regarding fish. Among the primitive races the men fish in large companies, and when they go out upon the sea they shut up all their women folk and forbid them to talk lest the fish hear and disapprove. Another queer fishing custom and superstition of the old time was connected with the first fish that was caught. This was taken into the house through a window that the other fish might not see and refuse to nibble at the bait. Game of Button: English children play "button" with a fruit stone. Instead of saying "Button, button, button, which got the button?" the player sings: Something for all, a pip for one; Four clock's and plaque bus; Pewter, please, and powder run. As the lender shouts the last word the child has the stone starts for the goal, which he sometimes makes without getting caught. Then he has the stone a second time. 9 Aymen's Missionary Movement of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, Chattanooga, Tenn. February 6-8, 1912.

Story in Newspaper Witnesses Tulsa Photo by American Press Association. $10,000 Painting Found in Collar. An old painting, said to be worth $10,000, and lost to the world for a century, has been found in Boston. It was found covered with grime and dirt in a North End cellar by a junk dealer. Not until it had been cleaned was its value learned. The painting is by Anthonie Palamodes Glaevaerts, of the old Dutch school, who lived in the early part of the seventeenth century, which makes the painting about 300 years old. Its genuineness has been passed upon by experts. The painting is one of the largest painted by Stainwasser, being 25 inches wide and 20½ inches high. It has no name, but an appropriate name for it would be "The Horse Trader." It represents a group of three gentlemen looking over a fine bay horse held by a groom just outside a stable. The painting is in an excellent state of preservation. It is now in the possession of Charles J. Melassen, of South Boston, to whom it was given by a friend, who found it in the cellar of a North End lodging house while cleaning out the cellar.

SUNDAY & MONDAY The proper apprehension of Nexter is a tempt to not put it there stand it.—reining the motivation of our present condition is a reason this country—a condition which we did not wholly condition—because they have nothing in it except from regulation and many thousands of them. I will pledge guilty to having paid over much concerning the entire course of that period in our history when the times, grandness and great grandness of "the ancient辉煌 of the present day" were bound hand and foot to the juggernant of American slavery, and hence were merely things, chastity, in law and in fact, so far as the law could make it so. The present day Negro, young and old in some instances, is light-hearted and carefree and in so much occupied with attempts to set "outward conformity" to the white man, to be a Negra. He is continually and frequently more than his real self. All our ideals is religion, in business, in our social life, in our home life, are borrowed from the white man. In these defying the white man we confess our inability, our insufficiency to give direction to the thought and politics which should govern and control in the moral, political and industrial progression of the race, and to give direction to every time we take pattern after the white man whether it be good or evil. We glorify him; and depress in ourselves the latent powers with which we were endowed when God said: "Let us make man in our own image, etc." The black boy or girl who graduated from white college, university from a class of twenty or thirty goes out into the world with the feeling that all things that are possible of accomplishment or attainment to his former white classmates are possible to him or her. But it takes them several years to discover how gravely they have errored. They have grown girls from the High Schools, Colleges and Universities are in no whit interior in moral and mental worth, to their former white companions. But—they "wear the shadowed livery of the burialed sun" and therefore are not permitted to cross the rubicon. The bar simulator in their African reinforcements,—no matter whether they are one-eighth or sixtime blacks. Now there is no use fenceing on this proposition. We might as well look at the facts with both eyes, and try to see everything we are looking at. In consequence of this medical because of the lack of who has been braved and ability to sell his materials, we sell at its full value to white employers of skilled labor. Our educated young men are entering the professions of Theology, Law, Medicine and our young women are going in as Teachers, Trained Nurses and the study of Domestic Science, a science as old as the history of the Negro race in America. The Lawyers in too many cases for their financial health, are without clients and a good many of them wouldn't know what to do for a client if they got one, for they have parted company with their books—the text books—and rely almost entirely on their sheepkins and their memory to win the case which some of them lose because they have not the time to keep up with the processor and the precedents. Young men and women who have conquered their lives to the art, or to the professions will find them jealous mistresses, and they cannot successfully combine them with social pleasure and win enduring fame in their specialties. Only the man who is in thorough in doing whatever his brain or his hands find to do, deserves and wins success. Faney may bolt bran and think it fool. When young men and women leave school that is the first step they take to acquire the larger education which can only be obtained "In the World's great field of battle" and not many heroes emerge from the strife wearing the victors' Palm. Of Doctors—good doctors—the race cannot have too many. 00 charitans and greens and fly-night hearsen, who play upon the imagination of our people in the north as well as the North, there are very positive diagoses to the noble position made honorable by Hippocrates, whose high ideals embraced every attribute which canishes and tignifies man. The latter day Negro "myrtle in medise" who trades on the superstitions and fears of the weak and ignorant to merely a weak infiltration of the counties white charitans and shoals in every great city in this country and whose mole alone is to get rich quick by commercializing the "credulity of the ignorant masses." One of these Quincy recently employed by Sam Pike, a Gaelic paper published in Dublin Ireland, has not only become a quite-millionaire but has had himself Knighted by the king, royalty of Great Britain, by collecting royalty of three thousand of groups of pills at $3 per pill ($6 pills to the bus, the cost of manufacturing, which is only one farthing, or about $1). The only ingredient stirring into the competition of these pills are powdered alpines, powdered aloes and powerful oils, with a 100% depleted water to deprive them of water. When the white man meets the rule of 100%, whatever he deprives in his hands of the white man is deprived, they go at it on a large scale and their aptitude is so compelling and their ability is so compelling and everything that meant in battle, if any happened. A man in white clothing and wears in white shoes and the white man in white clothing and wears in white shoes and ```markdown ``` Before I drowned all noise (break and the play only) for eight hours in one half past 10 per cent.

Unless history is at fault, Groups and Rome which in the halcyon days of their greatness, and power, were the centres of art and oratory and culture, over much of their glory and culture, were cultured and cultured blacks who at that period were the school masters of the civilized world. The stigma of to-day is either life proud, too easy or too indifferent to familiarise himself by reading and research with the past history of his race. If the present white race had a past as grand and glorious, as honourable and inspiring, as worthy of emulation and limitation as the descendants of those mighty blocs of antiquity and to whom we are near kin, they would fill the world fuller of life. They would fill it with accounts of its subwoofer, of which will not bear the electric light of investigation because they are shown to have been made to order. For instance, Whittier's poem on Barbara Frechtle immortalizes an event which recent investigation shows never took place. The Pilgrim Pathers did not land on Plymouth Rock as the legend states they did, nor on the state, given in the school histories and there are numerous other historical facts which might be cited to show us how it happened. The white man's history of the white man in which he has almost, if not entirely, outfitted the Negro who was in at the beginning of this government and who will be in it until the crack of its doom. My plea to the Negro, young and old, is that we should read more about the race's past and present. Read every good book written by any man, white or black, which gives any facts worth remembering and preserving and which are creditable to the gentleman and character and good man who drives to find in our own race the strength and power and usefulness in the Parliament of races. There are hundreds upon hundreds of such worthy examples of perfectibility among this race, who if identified with any other race than ours would be canonized, and their praises sung by a grateful people consoctions of the fact affirmed by the great Irish man are the guide posts"; "That great man are the guide posts"; "We seem to have allowed the white race to overshadow us and overwhelm us in their adoration and veneration of its great men." As Frederick Douglas once said, "What does the Fourth of July mean to the Negro?" Though the meaning of Independence was written with the blood of a Negro it means no more than to-day than a chapter from the Talmud or the Koran means to a Choctaw Indian. Still we are expected to whoo and yell when the Eagle screams, and the flag waves and the bandes play, notwithstanding the fact that they school histories do not mention the services of the thousands of Negroes signaled themselves as soldiers every war of this republic from the Revolution to San Juan Hill. If we do not in our homes and schools and Lycaena teach the rising generation to look up to, and not down on the race and tell them what Mogores have done to preserve "our most precious heritage," we will soon see a crop of Negroes in this country he will regard their race and the man he gives it character and vindicated it in good name on the battle field, in the form, in press and pulp, in the published professions and skilled arts, contemptuously as some white men equally ignorant of our history and with imperial worth and public service. God help us to see with clearer vision our duty and give us the courage to guilt ourselves like Men. $100.00 Disbursement Paid Portsmouth, Va., Jan. 16, 1812 This is to certify that I have received from John Mitchell, Jr., Grand Worthy Commander of the Grand Court of Virginia, Order of Calabash, ($100.00) One Hundred Dollars in payment of the de- tachment of Sister M.

DES IN EGYPT The Duke Beoam III With Pleasurry and Congestion of the Lunge Following a Series of Colds. The Duke of File, a brother-in-law of King George V., of Great Britain, having married the king's sister, the Princess Royal Louise, died in Aeuwan, Upper Egypt. He was born 10, 169, 18. His illness followed a series of colds, his grace never having recovered from the exposure to which he was subjected on Dec. 13, when he the steamship Delhil, on which he and his wife, the princess royal, and their two daughters were, passengers, was wrecked on the roofs of Cape Spartel, the northwest extremity of Africa. The ducal party then almost lost their lives through the capesting of the small boat in which they were being conveyed to shore. The weather at the time was bitter cold. One of the duke's daughters was drowning when rescued by a sailor. Three blue jackets from the French warship Friant, who took part in the rescue, sank to their death. The duke and his family finally got to a point of land near Tangier, and went thence to Gibraltar. After the wreck the duke and duchess and their children continued their voyage to Egypt on the steamer Macedonia. The Duke of Fife was known as "Madcult" among his intimate friends. His name was the Right Hon. Alexander William George Dutt. He was the oldest son of the fifth Earl of Fife, his mother having been Lady Agnes Georgiana Elizabeth Hay, daughter of the seventh Earl of Erroll, a lady noted for many years as the attached friend of Queen Victoria. He was born on the 10th of November, 1749, and succeeded to the family titles and vast estates in 1879. He was one of the richest peers in England, his wealth being estimated away up in the millions. He had large estates in Scotland, a country seat at Richmond and a grand town house in Gavendish Square, London. He was a member of all the leading clubs and sat in parliament from 1874 to 1879, when he was made Captain and Gold Stick of the Gentlemen-at-Arms. He was the only spirit of artocracy since Prince Albert who had the honor of handing Queen Victoria through a Scotch reel. The marriage of the Duke of Fife to Princess Louise Victoria Alexandra Dargmar, oldest daughter of the late King Edward and Queen Alexandra, was celebrated on July 27, 1889. The princess royal followed the example set by her aunt and namsake, the Marchioness of Lorne, now the Duchess of Argyll, in marrying a subject of the queen in preference to a German prinelling. Kuehne Bent to Jail For a Year. Louis Kuehne, for many years the Republican boss and absolute ruler of Atlantic City and Atlantic county, was sentenced to one year in state prison and, a fine of $1000, in the supreme court in Mey's Landing, N. J., by Justice Kallsch. Kuehne was convicted of awarding a contract for the construction of a timber water conduit across the meadows to a concern in which he was indirectly interested while he was water commissioner of Atlantic City. At the same time George Amole and Thomas McDevitt, convicted of conspiracy to defeat the election laws in 1809, were sentenced. The former received six months and the latter three months in prison. Frank Enderline, John Unsworth and J. Harry May, members of the county board of freeholders and convicted recently of grafting, were sentenced to one year in state prison. All will take their convictions to the highest courts, and all obtained stays of execution until the appeals can be heard by the higher courts. All were released on ball. Kennedorea Lynch General. General Pedro Montero, who a few days ago was a popular hero in Guayacuil, Bucurau, and who at one time was proclaimed president by his troops, was shot to death by an angry mob, who afterwards dragged the body through the streets, chopped the head off and then started a fire, into which they threw the head and trunk. General Montero, who retired the presidency when nominated by the troops, turned the leadership of the provincial government over to General Flavio Alfaro and took the Sold at the head of one body of 'revolutionary troops. They were ordered tried by court-martial, and Montero's case was the first to be called. The court-martial sentenced him to sixteen years' imprisonment. This around the greatest indignation on the part of the popes, who had clamped for a death sentence. They rushed into the court room and riddled the general with buckets, around his body and dragged it into the open air. There they handed the head of, got with, which they started a fire and cost the head and trunk into the famen. Must in State of Boston, Charged with making and for bounty, A. W. Dulce of Wagoner, N.

Pursuit declared that when the firm of "Butter" applied the warehouse they were found to contain Illinois clay. Immediately they set about to hoste Viking, but the man had left Wiyah. Through his mother they learned that he was in Alabama. Pursuit came and asked the police to find him. They did. As soon as authority to arrest him was received from the Eligia police, Viking was taken into custody. He is said to have denied the charge at first, then confessed. Viking was taken to Chicago to be turned over to the postal authorities, he having waived extradition papers. indict Darrow For Attempted Burry Two indictments were returned by the county grand jury in Los Angeles. Cal. against Charnesy Burr, c. counsel for John J. M. Namarra a. James B. McNamarra, self-confessed dynamiters. The indictments charge Darrow with complicity in the attempted bribery of Robert F. Bay, a juror in the J. B. M. Namarra case, and George N. Lock- wood, a prospective juror in the same case. Each indictment contains two counts. A conviction on one of the counts is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for not less than one or more than ten years. A conviction on the other count is punishable by a fine not exceeding $5000, or by imprisonment in the state prison for not more than five years. Darrow was required to give $10,000 bond on each indictment. Bogus Elk Teeth Made by Japanese. One of the largest awildies ever perpetrated in the country has just some to light in Omaha, Neb., through the discovery by local jewelers of the manufacture and sale of bogus elk teeth. Thousands of the "teeth" were sold throughout the country to members of the Order of Elks and are said to be made of walrus tusks by Japanese workmen in the shop of a Seattle manufacturer. A man disguised as a rough westerner sold the teeth. He said he had come across Indian rebounds wherein he had found a vast quantity of elk teeth. He professed lack of knowledge of the value and asked the nominal figure of $1.35 each. The body of a murdered man, possibly an informer on criminals, was found with his tongue split and throat ripped open in approved Black Hand style in a vacant lot in Harlem, New York. There were also knife wounds in the back, all of which indicate to the police that the man had been the victim of a frightful revenge. The identity of the man may never be revealed, for the face was multitailed beyond recognition. Catfish Wound Kills. Wounded on the hand, by a catfish about a week ago, Isaac A. Swelgard, former general manager of the Philadelphia & Reading Railway company, and a widely known railroad man of Philadelphia, died in St. Lucie, Fl., as the result of blood poisoning. With Mr. Swelgard when he died were his son-in-law and daughter, Dr. and Mrs. Eugene L. Reed, of Atlantic City. Mr. Swelgard was sixty-eight years old. Feared Rabies: Killed Himself. Hiram Davies, Jr., son of Chief of Police Davies, of Potterville, Pa., committed suicide by shooting himself, making doubly sure of his death by first taking a dose of laudanum, and of exemplary habits. Seventieth weeks ago he was sitten by a dog on the hand, and the fear of dying in the agonies of hydrophobia is believed to have led to the suicide.

Abbott, one of the editors of The Outlook. This belief is oppressed in a letter received in Trouton, N. J., by former Governor Edward C. Stokes. The letter received by Mr. Stokes follows a visit he made to The Outlook office last week, when he had an interview with Colonel Roosevelt. Mr. Stokes suggested that the former president write a letter, or have one written, defining his position relative to the presidency. The letter from Mr. Abbott follows: "Mear God Governor—in answer to your letter in which you ask me, as one of Mr. Roosevelt's associates, whether he would accept the nomination for the presidency, I can state my views of the situation in a few words. I have no authority to speak for him, and what I say is my own individual opinion. "But I have had some exceptional opportunities during the last two years not only to learn the political principles but to see at the same time the policies and I believe I clearly understand his attitude with regard to the discussion of his name as a presidential possibility. "If Mr. Roosevelt is ever elected president again it will not be because he seeks or wants the office; it will be because the country wants him in the office to perform a certain job. He has had all the political and official honor that any man can possibly want. "He accepted a nomination for the vice presidency in 1900 when such a nomination was thought to be equivalent to political objection, and although he wanted to run again for governor of the state of New York in order to complete some important work in that office. But his friends told him that it was his duty to sacrifice himself in order to strengthen Mr McKinley's nomination and" the campaign for sound money and national financial honor. "He accepted the nomination on that ground, although at the time both his affair and his enemies said that it would man the end of his political career. It did not end his career, however, for in 1904 he was nominated practically without opposition and was elected by an overwhelming majority. "I am convinced that he does not desire the nomination and will enter no contest to obtain it, but I am equally convinced that if his country-men have still further need of his services as their chief executive he will no more decline their call than he decline to callit, if needed, in time of war. It is, however, for his party and his country and for him to decide the question. If they decide to nominate him I am sure he will accept; if they elect him I am sure he will serve. " I base my opinion upon his own words. In the 18th of June, 1910, when he arrived in New York on his return from Africa, he replied to Mayor Gaynor's address of welcome as follows: "I am ready and eager to do my part, so far as I am able, in helping solve problems which must be solved if we, of this greatest democratic republic upon which the sun has ever shown, are to use its destinies rise to the high level of our hope and its opportunities. "This is the duty of every citizen, but it is peculiarly my duty; for any man who has ever been honored by being president of the United States is thereby forever after rendered debtor of the American people, and is bound there throughout his life to remember this as he lives, as he collects his life as much as in public life, so to carry himself that the American people may never cause to feel regret that once they placed him at their head." GREEN CRITIZES FAIR SEX Says He Wants to Marry a Woman, Not a Clothes Hero. Colonel Edward Howland Robinson Green, of Texas, son of Netty Green, of New York, arrived in San Francisco, Cal., her husband a man who wants to "marry a woman, not a clothes horse." "Children are the last things they want." he said of New York women. "None of them know how to cook or sow. And they would deny that their good old homely grandmothers knew how to wash clothes. "If a fashionable New York woman went up Fifth ave. with a ring in her nose, the jewelers could not supply nose rings fast enough to supply the demand." Asked if leap year might not seal his fate with some western girl, qualifying on domestic life, he said: "It may be. I'm but human." Dan Convicto Born Burner. Lewry Hoffman, a Vienna county farmer, was convicted at Franklin, Pa. of burning his brother's live stock and burnt August. One of the most damaging features of the evidence against the accused pointed to a bloodbond following a scent from the burned building to the defendant's home. Judge George S. Orrwell told the jury he could had no case in Pennyroya vents where this question had been pursued at, but that courts in other states were inclined to admit it.

An infuriated mob broke into the Quito pentagonal, at Guayaquil, Ecuador, in spite of there being a double guard, and lynched Generals Eloy Alfaro, Flavio Elfaro, Modardo Alfaro, Ulpiano Paez and Manuel Serrano, all prominent revolutionists. The generals lynched were captured on Jan. 22, when government troops from Quito defeated the robbers, who had proclaimed General Montero president at Guayaquil. Montero was shot to death on Jan. 25 by a mot, after he had been sentenced to sixteen years in the pentagonal. The generals lynched were awaiting trial. Hunter Killed by Wolves. The story of a desperate, but unavailing, battle for life, was told by the finding near Biren river, Mile, five miles from Lake Superior, of the bodies of a hunter and his two dogs, evidently killed and partly eaten by the wolves. The body was no torn that there was nothing to identify the unfortunate hunter, but before succumbing to his assailants he and his dogs had evidently battled to the last, for four dead wolves lay around the victims. One dog was found close to his master, with its teeth locked in the throat of a wolf it had killed.

The train was divided in two parts, and as she stepped it parted long enough to give one a glimpse of the sparkling heels. When Mrs. Longworth dances the effect is even more startling.

After which, in both houses the following communication from the contestants was read, withdrawing the contests that the American agreement might pass into law without any delay or a hindrance: Headquarters National True Whis Party, Monrovia, Nov. 13, 1911. To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives of the Republic of Liberia in Legislature assembled at its special session convening on Monday the Thirteenth day of November in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eleven' (A. D. 1911) in the City of Monrovia - Gontlentie. Whereas the present extra session of the Legislature of Liberia was called for the express purpose of enacting into law a proposition from the Government of the United States, which if it becomes law, will no doubt be one of the greatest events in the history of Liberia and which will re-relieve and simplify Liberia complexities, and will give real relief and assistance to the whole people of Liberia; And whereas the interest of the State is paramount to that of any party; and Whereas there are nine contested election cases filed in the Honorable House, of Representatives and one contested case before The Honorable Senate, from Bassas exclusive of the case from Basso, they not be present and on the ground to see and present crisis of this our Republic because may that they will join in on their arrival, their not being present growing out of the fact that they have not been able to come, which according to article five (5), section five (5) of the Constitution of Liberia, should be tried and determined at this session since the present session is composed of the newly elected members and respondents, instead of the legislature which if does according to cause trouble and delay in the passage of the proposition from the United States by the Legislature; and Whereas notwithstanding in our opinion the law and the facts appeal to be of such that we would be seated if even handed justice were meted out to us, put there is in our faces the proposition from the United States to be passed speedily and with out delay if it is more important than the pressing of our Contests as aforementioned.

MOROVIA, Senate. National Trust Wing Porter. On the 16th, about seven the Senate THE MORRIS EPISODE. An amusing incident occurred, in the House on the 15th. The House sent the aggrieving Clerk to Jim John L. Morris, the Secretary of the Treasury, for a book to be used by the Clerk of the House. The Secretary sent a book which the House returned to him with the request that he send a larger book because the one sent was too small. The Clerk that be, the Secretary, had "no time to feel with those damned followed." The Clerk reported the same to the House. The Secretary followed with a complaint against the Clerk for unbecoming conduct to the Secretary. The House was soon ready to examine into the conduct of the Clerk, and sent for the Secretary to substantiate the complaint, but he refused to come except the House would write him saying what they wanted with him; whereupon the House communicated the complaint since he would not come the House. Included not up believe the statement of the Secretary against the Clerk, and they would therefore dismiss the complaint against the Clerk. EXCITEMENT IN THE SENATE. On the 16th the Senate and Mr. Morris, the Secretary of the Treasury had their controversy. The Senate sent their messenger to the Secretary for some more of the printed agreements of the American Proposition. The Secretary replied to the effect of the Secretary to the Senate for each member already and that was enough; he intended to sell the other copien. This message was given to the Senate, whereupon the Senate sent the Sergent-at-Arms to inform the Secretary that the Senate desired his help to go to the Senate because the Senate did not communicate him in writing. Upon receiving this information from the Secretary the Senate ordered the issuing of a writ of arrest to bring the body of the Secretary before the Senate. The Sergeant-at-Arms' arrested the Secretary, the Secretary (will) go to go. The Sergeant-at-Arms then returned to the Senate for further orders, meanwhile the Secretary escapes to the Executive Mansion where he places himself under the protection of the President. The Senate then ordered the Sergeant-at-Arms to take a pose with him and go to the Mansion and arrest the Secretary as soon as he came went to the Mansion and the pose for a long time to catch Mr. Murray. In the meantime the President sent for a number of policemen to deliver Morris out of the hands of Senate's posse, or to guard him home, declaring that if the posse interfered with the Secretary they would have to bear the consequences at their own risk, if whatever legal suit the Secretary might bring against the Exemption was high now, for such threats did not move the dauntless posse. But finally six o'clock came and the Senate adjourned until the next day. The issue now being joined between the President and the Senate things began to look very unpleasant. Many consultations and caucuses that decided that the Senate's authority in the premises could not be contravened even by the President. On the following day at its opening Secretary Morris was arraigned before the Senate for contempt. He was very sharply queried by the members of the Senate. The Secretary showed that he was woefully wanting in the knowledge of the power of the Senate. He felt that the Senate did not treat him with the courtesy that his office should have, and that the President had the right to protect him from the process issued against him by the Senate, hence he wont there for protection. Among other things Senator Minor remarked: "The Senate sent a writ to the Mansion for his fellow. and he fed to the Mansion to the President for refuge; the think's is to kill that follow at the horns of the elk—kill him at the horns of the altar!" After a jennery consideration the Senate's judgment was that the Secretary be repentified by the President of the Senate, and he also be bound the cost of the proceedings to be paid at once. The Loan Agreement was taken up by the Senate and passed without envoiocation, for that was the sentiment of the masses of the people. Of course some of the "big men" did not want the proposition just as it came from America. They wanted it amended; and amendments were prepared and sent to the Senate but that body was drive to the situation, and would not even consider the amendments. There were members of the House who wanted to amend the Loan act and fought for it, but the amendments were by nine to five. Hon. A. C. Reeves from Bremen strongly opposed to amending, while Hon. S. A. Liberty from Bremen was strongly in favor of amending. The act was approved by the President on the 18th of November, 1911. This news was cabled abroad at once by various foreign representatives at Monrovia. The Legislature passed a law also making the salary of the General Receiver and Financial Advisor of the Republic of Liberia; $5,000 per annum. The House adjourned size die on Saturday afternoon, but the Senate did not adjourn until Monday morning, November 20th. At that session Monday morning the occasion was a unique one. Vice-President Donna addressed the Senate, informing them that he had finished his work. In that body, as pre-selling officer, he began this American scheme, and pushed it with all force and vigor until the present agreement was enacted into law which in the capstone of the American scheme, he had the work was completed. The House adjourned object before him, viz: the bringing of the Liberia and thereby destroying Liberia property under the delinquency and enforcement of the great nation who plundered her: the great nation who present measure was denied by him as president of the Liberia, and thus moved to the President for the agreement. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` The S.

Although a man may be particular about the drinking water for his house, cattle, sheep and himself, anything is supposed to be good enough for him. Punished plenty of good water, the hops will more than pay for the trouble with a goodly gain in pounds and many grateful grants of satisfaction. The question of amount is usually left for the bag to decide for himself, and that is a pretty good way to settle the matter unless the owner knows of a better one. Professor William District of the University of Illinois says that a bag will drink too much water during hot weather and not enough during cold and that better rattles can be obtained by forcing him to take a definite amount, according to its size, by making the water with his food, so that he will be sure to get enough and not too much. The theory looks reminiscent when we think of the amount of carbonaceous food consumed, especially by fattening hogs. This, together with the large amount of fat carried in their bodies, would cause a feverish condition during hot weather, and the fatteeds will drink much water in an effort to lower the temperature of their bodies. In winter conditions are different. Swine do not have a thick coat of hair to keep them warm, and often the shelter is poor. They are great lovers of Milk For the Young Perkara warmth. Is it any wonder that they will quit drinking water whose tem- perature may be pretty close to 32 de- grees before they have consumed enough to supply all of the needs of their bodies? But it will require a good deal of work to determine just what the right amount in, as we will have to consider the fact that all feeds contain more or less water to begin with, and the needs of the plums will keep changing all of the time as they increase in size. Also there will be some work connected with getting the plum to imbibe just the right amount each day. So if one is attempting to produce pork as economically as possible he will do pretty well if he supplies plenty and allows Mr. Hog to use his hog sense as to how thirsty he is. As to the proper time to supply the water, that can be left for the hog to decide if a supply is always accessible. But if the water is pumped to them or carried and poured into troughs it is a good plan to water just before each meal. For the hog's stomach is comparatively small. During warm weather they want another drink just before time for the next meal, so it is best to fill the troughs again after all have taken a Individual Fun For Winter Housing. Drink. This cannot be done during very cold weather, as the water will soak froze. This subject of water for hogs may look like a small matter and it may not be of as much importance as some others, such as breeding and feeding, but it should be borne in mind that we often spend all our time looking after those bigger things and do not give any thought to some of the lesser details, while our time should be divided, according to their importance, among all the different subjects pertaining to our work. The weather has not such a small matter either, for practically one-half of the hog's udder when he walks over the stubs is made up of this liquid, while many times this amount has to be used during his life to carry the food to the parts of his body where it is needed and in removing the waste material from the stones. Certainly the best results cannot be expected in fine stock raising if the water is supplied in suspended, and one will be able to throw away part of his food and breeding if the water is deficient in either quality or quantity. The purpose of the milk industry is the preparation, breeding of the milk and of the plants. The plants are highly spreading of interest on the money invested. The animal's useful for making cottons strongly and retaining a great percentage of fertility, so the milk in the form of manure is second only to the of the dairy cow in manufacturing dairy and milk products. There was a case in Iowa where quick returns and big profits were combined in handling a small stock of sheep purchased on grain, but compared with well head sheepage over and hambles. This stock of twenty-eight cows, each with a half at foot, was purchased in early April at an average price of $1.90 a head. The spring clipping cold in May for an average of $1.30 a head. The sheep had a small amount of grain scattered out on the pasture each day during the three weeks after their purchase. During the summer they had the run of a six acre bimar grass pasture upon which thirty-five head of sheep also grazed. The hams were sold Aug. 20 at $4.00 each. The ows were held until Oct. 1 and sold as breeding stock for $1. This brings the total returns up to $11.70 a head. When the initial cost of $5.50 a head is deducted, a net profit of $2.50 a head is left. These returns paid the rental on grass pasture at the rate of $2.85 an acre, without any allowance for the fertility deposited by the sheep in the form of manure. The season was favorable for a big growth of pasture, and the demand for both market and breeding sheep was very been during the fall of that year. Furthermore, no sheep was pastured recently on the grass upon which these grass, and therefore the danger from stomach worm was little feared. The sheep is well named the farm scavenger. Weeds are as nutritious and palatable to this animal as red clover is to the beef calf. The tender ragweed which causes so much grief to the farmer during a wet season will not long resist persistent cropping by sheep. Further, they adapt themselves to intensive as well as extensive conditions, for they require but a small area upon which to grass. It is to their own benefit that the pasture be kept short, for they are especially fond of the new, succulent grass as it first appears above the ground. The method of shifting from old to new pastures in order to avoid the permanent establishment of the stomach worms works well into the system of a profitable crop rotation. Economy of production places sheep in the front rank of all classes of livestock raised on the farm. They produce a greater number of pounds of meat in proportion to the amount of feed consumed than any other domesticated animal. The average daily gain for sheep on full feed is three-quarters to one and one-quarter pounds. The feed consumed a day is about one-tenth that for agel cattle on full feed. It requires thirteen pounds of dry matter to produce one pound of beef. The steer on feed gains three pounds a day. Quick returns for the money invested make the sheep industry as good as a banking proposition. Lambs dropped in March are ready for the markets in early September, weighing on the average stock farm about ninety-five pounds aplece. If they are pushed for a greater daily gain and a consequent earlier marketing by being fed grain, while on grass in the early fall, they can be marketed before the last days of August. Oil Your Harness Careful attention should be given to the oiling of harness. When properly cared for harness will be made to last twice as long. Rain and mud drying on the leather will cause it to crack. There is no better time to oil the harness than on a rainy day. To Get. Out the Old Nails. To pull old nail out of hard wood, get a piece of half inch gaspipe eight inches long, flatten one end so it will go into the hammer eye and fasten it by driving in a broken spike nail, and you have a handle with which any nail can be worked. The Frenchman's method of working stallions makes the animals very obedient, which is due to three things. The Frenchman is very nervous on his horse. He breaks them to work early, and he works them steadily. LIVE STOCK NOTES Stuffing the coit with hay or straw or any coarse food will spoil its loosen. Keep this ration down by the use of some grain and less coarse food. Steens fed on clever hay will not only consume more roughage, but also more grain, than those fed on timothy hay if both grain and roughage are fed according to appetite. It is the farmer who keeps sheep for a number of years that finds them most profitable. Some years they will return a much better profit than others, and it is hard to sell and buy at just the right time. For the First Screen Young Man—So Male Ether is in older adult.

Many beginners seem to believe that there is some great mystery connected with the poultry hindmind. This is not true. The secret is common eggs put into practice. If a hen is properly fed and housed she will lay. Of common here are not to be expected to lay with any degree of corollary. During the winter, apopta unlouse, they have mated early; consequently one stray rely on early spring pallets for winter eggs. The hens that have rented from laying during part of the winter are much better for it when the time comes for setting eggs. Such eggs not only hatch better, but the chicks are stronger from the beginning. The most popular fowl in this country are those of the American clam. They come nearer the much desired all around fowl than those of any other clam. Some strains of fowl of this same breeds lay fewer eggs than others, but in the fruit of the breeder. He should pay as much attention as laying qualities as he does to feathers. The selecting and breeding of the best layers is the only way to get prolific layers. Like breeds like. The question of feeding has been so thoroughly thrashed out that there seems little to add. Sometimes it is not so much what one feeds as how he feeds it. Fowls so well as chickens should be well fed. Mornings and afternoon feed the fowl a mixture of hard grain, thrown, during the times when the birds are confined, into the litter—rye straw preferred—and scattered around the yards at other times. This mixture is composed of 200 pounds of corn, 100 pounds of cracked corn, 300 pounds of wheat, 100 pounds Good Care Makes Hone Like This Possible. of oats, 50 pounds of barley and 25 pounds of sunflower seed. For the morning feed add more oats, at the rate of 200 pounds. Feed only what the fowls will eat up clean. It is also desirable to have a dry mash before them at all times. Mix it as follows: Two hundred pounds of bran, 100 pounds of middlings, 100 pounds of cornmeal, 100 pounds of gluten feed, 100 pounds of best beef scraps, 100 pounds of alfalfa meal, 25 pounds of linedeed meal, 10 pounds of best pulp and about a pound of table salt. If plenty of green stuff is available it is not necessary to use the alfalfa meal. Have water, oyster shells, charcoal and grit before the fowls at all times. There is nothing like green stuff for fowls and chickens. There is no rule as to chicken feed. At first give them bread and milk and after three days add a hard grain mixture of two-thirds fine cracked corn and one-third cracked wheat and 10 per cent rolled oats. A ration of bottled agn crumbled is also excellent if fed moderately. A large amount is overstimulating. After they are six weeks old two-thirds cracked corn, one-third wheat and a dry mash constitute their feed. This mash is composed of 200 pounds of bran, 100 pounds of middlings and 100 pounds of meal. From the time the chickens are ten days old add a little beak scrap, about 5 per cent of the mash and gradually increase it to 10 per cent. About a month before the fowls should lay use the dry mash mixture as already described. Stable Manura Values It is pleasant to note the gradual change in measure handling methods as a person travels over the country. Fortunately very few ventured to draw out the stable manure during the winter for fear it would leach. They never demanded that the leaching on the open yard be immediately worse than that on the field, because on the pile formation is constant and plant food becomes reliable and is leached out and actively wanted, while on the field it will almost always be taken up by the soil and fermentation comes. A very fair percentage of the farmers haul their stable manure to the field nearly as fast as it is produced. The greatest loss on many of these farms is in the door of the stable. It is surprising how few farmers have cemented them—Stuckman and Farmer. Watch Your How If you had to snatch any bay this year look at the top, before real food winter ice in.

At the request of King George the venerable Dean Hole has been reviving the British national anthem in order to bring it just a little more up to date and in harmony with the modern spirit. The dean has improved it materially as far as he, has gone by substituting lines in the stanza reading, "Confound their politics, frustrate their knavish tricks," so that the revived version reads, beautifully as follows: O Lord our God, arise! B scatter his enemies, Make war to his enemies, Keep us from plague and dearth, Turn thou our woes to mirth, And over all the earth Let there be peace. Certainly this is unexceptionable, but we think the dean has not gone far enough, and to remedy his omissions we venture to suggest the following additional lines, which we respectfully submit to the distinguished consideration of his majesty: Please cork up Bernard Shaw. Keep us from saying "Aw!" When we converse, Give English clothes some shape: Make me shape; Show us how to escape A. Austin's verse. In any future Pinch Renew my delicate dinc On Yankee cash.

There are interpretations of religion which repulse and alienate men. When religion is a sentiment rather than a power it fails to seize and hold men. There is a difference, between Christ of rhetoric and the Christ of life. Flowing periods about religion do not always mean flowing forth energies for the transformation of lives. Quick minded and observant minds are not slow to notice this contrast between verbal wealth and vital poverty, and they are not drawn to When ideas take the place of conversation men feel that there is a child about the preaching and about the church. Of course there must be ideas. A consecrated life is not a substitute for a consecrated mind. But the way ideas are kept warm is by living them. The way belief is kept circulating through lofty thought is by making it the inspiration of lofty life. Men do not object to intellectual norms as such. But they are simply unspoiled by mental effects put inspired by a heart hot with the centre to help. When religion is suspected of being the luxury of the favored classes the man, suffer the burden of life (turn from it). The supernatural optimism of the well fed and well groomed preacher who has never bent under the furious lead of distressing industrial conditions seems a travvy on the word gospel to the man for whom the battle is proving too long and the struggle too hard. When religion seems to give wings of joy to the man of uncleaned life other men are not drawn to it. The man whose sense of guilt seems to have been removed from him as far as the court is from the worst white, he has no thought of breaking with his favorite indulgences, in a great obstacle in the way of victorious religion. Religious make believe and compromise and subterfuge do not command religion to the man outside the church. The preacher who has really felt the weight of modern economic and industrial conditions often comes forth with a noble word of adjudication. He comes not as a messenger to the masses. Just here it is easy to find a mistake which violates a man's work. It is easy to contemptifying the idea of the capitalism of industry to forget the subjugation of the economy of humanity. It is easy to unplugging the heart of the church to forget to own from the mouth of Jesus. It is easy to unplugging the mouth of Jesus. functionally sweet speech that he is made as truly a favored child of the new interpretation of religion as was the magnate of slumbering conscience under the regime of the smug and comfortable apostle of the wealthy. The interest in religion which is won by an appeal to class prejudice is never a deep and helpful thing, whether the claim be rich or poor. The prophet of God is to stand above the glances with a message to them all, with condemnation for their sins and approval for their virtues. The solidity and strength of wealth are not to protect it from the lordship of conscience. And all the wrongs suffered by labor are to form no protection for the vicious, the dishonest and the drunken. The selfish, oppressive man of wealth and the selfish, intemperate man of labor fall together. The honest, earnest workman and the honest, earnest employer stand together approved of God. There is an interpretation of religion which speaks to something in the very depths of the lives of men and permanently masters their lives and makes them morally and spiritually fruitful. Men are captured too easily if they are won with no attack of the inner citadel of their lives. Religion has an economic message. It has a great social program. But first of all it comes with commanding authenticity as a word to moral struggles under the strain and strain of the beasts of consciousness. The uprift of a life with a consciousness of wrong in it, the supernatural content of a life which will become mightily distilled if it forces the moral demand under which it lives—the are the facts which lie in the background of the great appeal of religion. When a man really begins to grow in his consciousness of moral things his white ideal and his stained and spotted life stand out in awful contrast before him. Who can solve the anomaly between what we would be and what he is? Who can give him power to march to the martial inside of righteousness which surrounds in his soul and which he follows with such laggard step? Religion is mighty because it is able to bring about friendly relations between a man and his conscience, because without ethical loss it can take away the moral belt, which is the cause of man's deepest hurt. A congratulations of all this caused Paul to say that he had nothing to talk to man about except Jesus and his death on the cross. The Son of God and his great gift of mercy constituted Christianity to Paul. There on Calvary the weight of man's failure and she was taken upon himself by the Son of God in such deep and adoquate spiritual fashion that forgiveness and puffiness possible for man.

TRAPNESTHG FOWLS There can be no doubt that trapping fowls pays for the time devoted to it, for every flock that does not receive this attention is bound to average rather low in the production of eggs, and during the winter and early spring, when eggs are high, a few dozen pay well for the additional time and slight expense. Moreover, if one gets the trap nest habit he will just naturally want, better breeding stock, and if one is going to feed hens at all why not eliminate the hater and the browb? On the other hand, if you have a pure bred flock why not make a desirable and good paying bunch? If you are contemplating the usual method, of the average farmer—that is, crossing for A Trap Nest. eggs—just consider for a moment before spoiling a pure breed. If it is egg you want the lighter breeds will produce them, and selection will improve the stock. If, on the other hand, you with more meat why not at the same time get as many eggs as the neglected stock of Leghorn will produce? But it is a few trap nests and not a Leghorn rooster that will produce these results. It is nothing less than absurd to think that a stock of Plymouth Rock hens bred to a Leghorn rooster will produce offspring with the Plymouth Rock carcass and the Leghorn proliferation. It comes nearer working the exact revenue. The sketch shows a trap nest on the Cornell plan. These roos can be built of scrap lumber in less than two days. The roos above them are varnish proof.

How to Tell and How to Prevent and Cure Poultry Alliments—Ax Best For Rough When the excrement secreted by the kidneys, which is normally pure white, appears yellow, though the droppings are solid and the birds appear; perfectly healthy, look out for bowel trouble.

When the nostrils are clogged with dirt and the eyes water ward off a possible case of roup by timely treatment. If the case is bad apply the hatchet and bury the carcass.

When the bird seems lame and has a small swelling on its foot remove it to house with no perches and oblige it to rest up a bed of straw.

James E. Mason for seventeen years Financial Secretary, or Darlington College at Salisbury, and the leading institution under the Zion connection is in the Metropolis in the interest of the College and to raise $80,000 with which to build the new girl's Dormitory. Judging from the success that has come to Prof. Mason's efforts in this direction, the necessary amount will be raised for the dormitory. Already $12,500 of the amount has been given by the General Educational Board and Rev. Mason hopes to raise the other amount through subscriptions and educational rallies. Prof. Mason is planning an extensive tour through the New England States where he hopes to arrange several business giving aid in securing the necessary aid for the construction of the now building and tell of the work being done by the College. The work of Livingstone is well known in the North and almost every section of the country through the efforts of Secretary Mason, who has been coming to the North and East for nineteen years representing the institution. He has been as far as possible in the pilgrimage, lecturing in the interest of the college, and has succeeded in working up a favorable sentiment in favor of the institution. Pow members of the faculty know more about the work and present need of the college than Rev. Mason, and who can better present its need. Livingstone College is full of histori- south where it is located it wields wide influence and has, done much for the intellectual and moral uplift of the young men and women coming under its influence. The institute has turned out a large number of successful graduates, many of the professional and business world. The course at Livingstone compares with the average course of the Southern schools and has an able faculty. When seen at the Episcopal residen- dence of Bishop Walters last week, Rev. Mason talked freely about the work being done by Livingstone. He said: "We are concentrating all of our efforts on the erection of the new Girl's Dormitory which we hope to begin soon. Our school is doing very effective work in the South and at the North, and we are representing every State in the Union. We have six from Africa and our graduates have all done well." "Among the successful graduates of Livingstone," said Rev. Mason, "are Dr. Fuller, a noted physician of Boston, Dr. Garland, the founder of the Aggro hospital of Boston, and Bishop Blackwell and Caldwell and others." Speaking again of the new dormitory to be erected Rev. Mason said that the new building would be 1000x200 feet and is to be four stories. Another successful graduate," said Rev. Mason "is Arthur Platto, who came from Africa and has since gone back where he established an institution with 300 students. In speaking of the faculty Rev. Mason said, "We have a strong faculty and most of our faculty are Lincoln graduates. While our school is under the Zion connection we are non-sectarian and aim more for efficiency than denomination." Rev. Mason said, "During the existence of the school in 100 grants have left the institution 125 trained medicine, 400 have become teachers and 97 preachers." Rev. Mason has done much for the institution and is one of the strongest men in the race and Zion connection. As a race champion he has delivered some notable addresses in the interest of the manhood rights of the Negro. The President of Livingstone College is Dr. William H. Goler, one of the most scholarly men in the race. The school has had a steady growth under Dr. Goler. Goler has been under 15 years and is a graduate of Lincoln University. In educational circles, Dr. Goler is well known. The appeal that is being sent out by Livingstone for the erection of the new dormitory is a worthy one and in the opinion of the Zionites is one of the most urgent appeals before the race. The appeal will be sent out through another issue of The PLANET. AFRO-AMERICANS TO HONOR DICKENS. The 100th anniversary of Charles Dickens, the noted English novelist will be celebrated with appropriate exercises Tuesday evening, February 6 at the Y. M. C. A. building under the auspices of the Literary Society. The occasion promises to be an interesting one and the speakers will diversify their phases of the famous author's life. Some of the most prominent men and women of the Metropolis will participate in the exercise. Special music will be furnished for the occasion. The examinations will be under the direction of Christian D. Alum. Correspondent of The PLANET. The examinations will be one of the most interesting literary lectures occurring in the life of the poet and proponent of the American literature. In the course of the examination of the examinations will be lectures of the proponent to engage on the subject. The here he was taken suddenly ill and died with a few days. CHURCHER CLOSE THEIR REVIVALA. Most of the churches closed their revivals last Sunday and reported a most encouraging spiritual growth. During the entire month of the revivals the churches were crowded with earnest men and women who were seeking a new spiritual life, and who were anxious to live more if keeping with the Christ life. In St. Marks M. E. Church last Sunday afternoon at the special young people revival services Mrs. Taylor, a well known woman, evangelist conducted the services. A remarkable conversion at the meeting was an aged white man who, passing by the church was attracted by the singing came in to be prayed for. He told a story of his downfall and said that it was whiskey that got the best of him. He expressed desire to live a better and more alive life. The meeting was a profitable one and much spiritual good was accomplished. WILLIAM BRIGGS MAKING GOOD AS A SINGER. William Briggs, one of the most popular young men in the musical classes of the Metropolis and who has composed a song entitled "Reflection" which has made an impression here in making good as a singer. Mr. Briggs has sung with much success in the leading churches of the Metropolis and in other cities. Before coming to the Metropolis he was active in the musical life of Rochester his native town and began his musical career by singing in the boy choir. For a long time he was choralist in the city of Albany, N. Y. and while in Albany organized symphony and dramatic company for the development of the musical talent While in his city he will be remembered for his promotion of amateur concerts where some of the most promising talent got their first hearing. He came to New York in 1896 and has since been identified with the musical life of the Metropolis. In the leading churches of the city he has sung with decided success. His latest effort is writing of the song "Pailter's Pailter," which has palled Mr. Briggs cona'derable praise and many letters of congratulations. The words to the new song were written by Ella Wheeler Wilcox the noted woman writer and the music is Mr. Briggs. He will give a recital at the St. James Presbyterian Church Monday evening. February 10th which time some of the prominent talent of Metropolis will appear. The recital is to be a series of musicals being planned by Mr. Briggs. SOME IDEA ABOUT DR. CONNOR. Rev. Dr. J. M. Connor, Presiding Elder of the Little Rock District who resides in Little Rock and one of the leading candidates for the Bishoplic in the A. M. E. Church, is one of the most prominent churchmen in the great A. M. E. connection. In the city of Little Rock where he resides wide influence and is known throughout the connection as a power to be reckoned with. He has been endorsed by the Little Rock District as Arkansas' choice for one of the Bishops to be elected at the General Conference of the church which meets at Kansas City. City is large at least all over Arkansas. Dr. Connor and are working with zeal for his promotion to the Bishoplic bench. Dr. Connor throughout his career as churchman has done much for the connection and is known as a successful pastor and capable and efficient presiding elder. He is in the work period to be affirmed in the church and all occasions has nobly represented his church and race. He is one of the trustees of Shorter College of which he is an alumnus and several years ago Morris Brown College conferred upon him the degree of Ph. D. At the Ecumenical Methodist Conference which met at Toronto, Canada in October Dr. Connor was one of the leading delegates to represent his church and his towering figure made a deep impression upon the large delegation of prominent churchmen at the Conference. Our correspondent at Toronto was an excellent opportunity to study the character of this great churchman. In the opinion of the leading churchmen of the A. M. E. connection, Dr. Connor would nobly grace the Blishorpe bench. Information reaches this Bureau that Dr. Connor stands in the forefront of the men likely to succeed to the exalted position in the connection. The General Conference promises, be prepared to be the choice of the Bishops another important office in the edifice of the A. M. E. Review. Rev. Dr. R. C. Ransom is the leading candidate for the office. The recent death of Bishop Galine has cast a gloom over the connection in the Metropolis and preparations are being made for memorial services in his honor. ST. LUKES ELECT DEPUTY At an important meeting of the St. Luke society last Thursday evening at the Y. M. C. A. building, Joseph Taneyer, one of the most prominent members of the Order in the Metropolis was elected District Deputy for the New York District of the Order, competing briefly between himself and his car in this capacity until September when the annual election will take place. The purpose of this paper is to the expansion of the current research on the use of the computer in the medical research. Many years ago, Correspondent John be had been a member of the London for some time and gave the following information passed the Order. "The New York district the largest district of the Order. He has 26 cannons and total membership of 2009 men and women." Mr. Terry- coy is member of the M. W. B. Burt Council and is one of the degree clubs. Mr. Terryy was born in Richmond, Va. where he received his early education. He came to New York 12 years ago. Information has just reached this Bureau about the organization of the 8th Illinois Regiment, the crack colored regiment of the State of Illinois with headquarters in Chicago. The information should be of particular concern to the race at large, due to the prominence the regiment has attained in efficiency as a part of the National Guards of the State of Illinois. After a long and successful campaign, the colored regiment was finally admitted to be National guard rank of Illinois. The following is the history of the organization of the 8th Illinois Regiment. The 8th Regiment applied for admission to the State service in October 1890. The application was made to Governor Pifer, a Republican but was rused. The excuse was that there was no money available to support this command. The refusal of the application to a committee was sent to the next legislature to lobby for an increase appropriation. The lobby was eminently successful in obtaining a larger appropriation. The appropriation was larger than ever before but Governor Pifer explained that the appropriation did not cover the requirement of the 8th Regiment to be a commissioned captain John C. Buckner, Major Benjamin Johnson and Colonel Thomas as Hartogan waited on Governor Pifer from time to time and the 8th Regiment, then the 8th Battalion was maintained at the expense of the officers and the citizen association. Through the efforts of Major Johnson 125 uniforms were bought, and the citizens association through Major Johnson loaned 200 guns which were in the hands of the Police Department. After Governor Fifer in 1891 refused to muster in the regiment, the matter was then referred to the 38th Assembly in 1895, when Jno. C. Buckner, who had been elected to the legislature introduced a bill providing for the admission of a battalion of colored men and had the appropriation provided to cover the expenses of the new battalion. November 4. 1895 Governor Altgeld a democratic Governor signed the bill and a battalion of four companies consist¹ of 317 men was mustered into service. From that time until May 11, 1898 John C. Buckner was the Major. Major Buckner regained the July of the same year the 8th July of the same year the 8th August the volunteer was mustered into service. Governor Tanner was the Governor and appointed Colonel Marshall to head the regiment. Colonel Marshall has done much for the regiment since he became its head. The early history of the formation of the regiment belongs to Major John R. Buckner. This information is in direct contradiction of the information that went out from Chicago some time ago in which the credit was given largely to Colonel John R. Marshall. A PROMINENT ZION CHURCHMAN. Among the prominent Zion Church men is Tassel F. Taylor who is prominent throughout the connection. He takes an active part in the Zion Church and is familiar with its workings. He has had an interesting career and one that has been much varied. He is a North Carolinian by birth and is a noted figure in his native state. He was educated in the public and high school of his native state. He taught school for a while and one of the trustees of the Yale Academy on the strongest institutions in the state. He was a member of the Legislature, the justice of the peace for his county for a long time. During the Spanish American war he was one of the first to volunteer with the 3rd North Carolina Regiment and was one of the lieutenants of the regiment. Since coming to New York he has been in the circles of the Zion Church. He is one of the trustees of the Harlem A. M. E. Zion Church, one of the strongest of the Zion Churches.

LOS ANGELES, CAL. NEWS. Thirty Years in Search of a Job. Mr. Cooper, who left his wife and three little girls in Georgetown, Texas in 1880, in search of a job returns to them after the lapse of thirty years. After a private interview with Mrs. Cooper on Sunday, January 20th, she told of the peculiar incident. She said: "My husband left me early one morning to go to see about a job and I expected his return in the evening as usual, but days, weeks and months passed and no communication was received from him. Thrown on my own resources as I was, I want to children would be provided for. Day after day I would pick cotton with my three children playing near me. I believed there would be a change for the better some sweet day. "Several years had elapsed before I heard of California; so I told my children if they would help me to pick enough cotton I would take them to school with a determination by the help of God to win, and we struggled on under the hot beaming sun from sunrise to sunset until the day came in 1899 when my children and I started for California. "Landing in a strange country, I found myself in a dittons I had just left, and I started out to make my living and to educate my children." While the scribe of Mrs. Cooper's early life is sad, it is also commandable to know that she has accomplished more in the 32 years she has been in Los Angeles than a great many men who have been here longer with better opportunity. During all this time she was still of an inexperience of "that job" and on Tuva did not afford him one, he arrived here in Los Angeles January 17, 1913 and found his wife living in her own home at 504 West 29th street, where he is now renting his lot. Mrs. Cooper's home on West 29th Street is enlarged at about twenty-five thousand dollars ($55,000.00), and she has another home on Lower Providence at five thousand dollars ($50,000.00). There two places she has lived and prepared for her, she has accommodated, she is worth about thirty-three thousand dollars ($55,000.00) in money. touch of her time with her grandchildren. President Refrence Money. Through an act of kindness, the Forum at one of their regular sessions lifted a collection of three dollars ($3.00) which was presented to Mrs. Scott, the president of the Bojourner Truth Club, which organization has been struggling for the past year to suffice in clearing the indebtedness of the property they are burying as the site of a Working Girl's Home. Mrs. Scott, the president, refused to accept the amount and advised the Forum to at least make the sum five dollars. The Club has from time to time solicited the aid of the public in general to assist them in their obligation. It was a shock to the Forum when it was learned the position the president had taken. Was she justified in refusing the money? Would Prof. Washington refuse this as a gift? Are there not people who would have accepted South that, would have accepted of this amount? Is there a Negro church that would not have accepted of the same? If the sold Club's treasury had sufficient money to pay for its home, then it might be cheesy about accepting any small amounts, but as long as they are drawing on the public for support they should donate, even the widow's mite. If this is the attitude the president intends to hold, it is generally believed she may have to build the Home at her own expense. The Juvenile Club of the Lone Star State gave their first program on Monday evening, January 22nd at Wesley Chapel M. B. Church. About 150 persons enjoyed a pleasant evening.
