PLANET VOLUME XXX. NUMBER 1. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1912. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. More About the Champion CONSTITUTION LEAGUE'S WORK ON JOHNSON'S CARE. What A Real Race Leader Is Doing. Gilchrist Stewart's Excellent Work for Jack Johnson in Chicago as the Constitution League's Representative. Philadelphia, Pa. Nov. 23.—While Booker T. Washington and others like him who are gratifying the enemies of the Race was keeping himself busy by denouncing "Jack" Johnson before he had even been condemned by the courts, the Constitution League quietly despatched Mr. Gilchrist Stewart to Chicago with orders to investigate the case thoroughly and report his findings as soon as possible. Mr. Stewart, Jr. will be remembered, was the man who as Secretary of the Commission sent by Mr. Millholland to investigate the Brownville affair, laid bare the facts of that iniquity so unmistakably that his record was never impacchel and formed the basis of every effort, including that of Senator Foraker, to right the infamous wrong done the black Battalion. The effective character of his work in Chicago is suggested by the fact that within three days after his arrival there "Jack" Johnson was out on ball, although this had been previously denied to any amount. Mr. Stewart who knows how to keep the wires, hot is still in the midst of his labor, but from his preliminary report to the League, we are permitted to publish the following significant extracts which should afford pleasant reading to those dough-faced Negroes who constantly seek to curry favor with the bourbons by magnifying their own Race instead of standing up in defence of every man presumably innocent until proven guilty. Mr. Stewart says in part: MR STEWART'S REPORT ON JOHNSON CASE. "I have not written earlier because I wanted to get sufficient facts to determine accurately, in a legal way, just what we have suspected. I have found that there is not a selftilla of evidence upon which to base the prosecution much less the prosecution of "Jack" Johnson, except that he has committed certain offenses against the established codes of morality—for which half of the men in New York or Chicago or elsewhere could just as well be instituted and railroaded to the penitentiary." "After all the original future attempt to build up a case against him they went back three years and indicted him upon an alleged offense with a girl who, to put it mildly was by no means respectable. She had been the inmate of one Chicago's 'exclusive clubs.' " "The whole thing is a 'frame-up against him because of his color and, because of the manner in which he has handled himself as a Negro Champion of the world.' " "I am getting amdavits and facts to form the basis of an appeal to the Washington authorities owing to the appeals to rife prejudice, we shall all have to make a great effort to save him from the penitentiary." Throughout the late campaign Mr. Stewart was Chairman of the National Al Colored Auxiliary Committee, and in that position won the confidence and esteem of all President Taft's advisers, including Mr. Hillis, Chairman of the Republican National Committee and Chairman Barnes of the Republican State Committee, who is becoming one of the most outspoken champions of the colored people. Jones-Davis Nurtiels. The marriage of Miss Julia E. Davis to Mr. Ira Jones was solemnized last Wednesday night, November 20, 1912, at the residence of Rev. Dr. W. T. Anthony, in Wall St. (Southside). The parlor was beautifully lighted and the occasion was a brilliant affair. The reception was held Sunday afternoon at their home, 2302 OH Domination street from 3:00 to 5:20 o'clock. The guests heartily enjoyed themselves in the usual chit-chat, while delicacies of the season were served to appease the inner man. We wish them a long, happy and prosperous life. DORSEY - In sad, but loving remembrance of my loving mother, Sarah Dorsay, who departed this life two years ago. November 28, 1909: Money for Colored Institution Andrew O'Regane Gives $10,000 and Julius Rosenwald Gives $800 to Christianburg Industrial Industries The Treasurer of the Board of Managers of the Christianburg Industrial Institute received recently a check from Mr. Andrew Carnegie for $10,000 and another check for $800 from Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago. Mr. Carnegie's gift was made in accordance with a promise that he would give the last $10,000 toward a fund of $60,000 to be used toward improvements and endowment of the Christianburg Industrial Institute. The Board having compiled with its part of the agreement, by raising $40,000 received Mr. Carnegie's check for $10,000 making a total of $50,000 for the benefit of the school. Of this amount $55,000 will be spent in buildings and improvements and $15,000 will go into the endowment fund. The contribution of $800 by Mr. Rosenwald was made through Dr. Booker T. Washington, and was conditioned upon a like sum being raised The members of the Board of Managers of the Friends' Freedman's Association of Philadelphia under whose auspices the school is maintained, promptly subscribed the amount necessary to meet the condition of Mr. Rosenwald's gift making $1600 available for current expenses. Fifteen years ago the Christianburg Industrial Institute was organized. It started with three students. The property consisted of half-acre of land and one building. Today the school has eight large buildings three of them brick and several small ones and 185 acres of fertile soil. The total equipment including builds, land and endowment will amount to more than $100,000. There are 250 students attending the school now, 60 of them being boarders. What has been done at Christiansburg is an evidence of the practical working out of the Tuskegee Spirit. Fifteen years ago three men from Tuskegee with their wives, who were Tuskegee women, took up the work at Christiansburg. The hardships and privations which that little company endured will never be known. Two members have passed into the Great Beyond, the present Principal of the institution, E. A. Long and his wife are the only two remaining. "The workers die but the work goes on." The faith which Northern men have shown in the school, their willingness to contrib to toward its support and growth have been due in a large measure to the sacrifice and devotion of this first little company of workers. The school is a factor in the education of the colored people of the entire Southwest section of Virginia. Eighty-one persons have graduated. Many teach in Montgomery and adjoining counties, others are engaged in various mechanical trades learned at the school. From Waverly, Va. Waverly, Va., Nov. 19, 12. The Richmond PLANET.

John Mitchell, Jr., President of the Mechanics' Savings Bank, the only colored delegate to the American Bankers' Association was fortunate enough to be brought in touch with these foreign interests by virtue of this membership. The enterprise is of a magnitude even more vast and universal than it appears upon the surface. The money which will be virtually at the command of this corporation will be practically unlimited and the field of operation will not be confined to Richmond or even to Virginia, but will extend throughout the Southland. WILL COVER THE SOUTH LAND. Money will be available for the financing of enterprises of every kind and description. The entire third floor of the Mechanics Savings Bank building is being prepared in partial style as the home of the new corporation better known to financiers as a trust company. The front room will be the main reception room and the Secretary's office. The next room will be the Secretary's consultation room. The next room will be the Board of Director's room and the Treasurer's Office. The next room will be the office of the Managing Director and the one adjoining his consultation room. The next room on the North will be the Attorney's office, who will give his entire time to the business of the Corporation. PALATIAL EQUIPMENTS The next room adjoining will be his consultation room. The other two rooms will be occupied by the hook-keepers and stenographers. The work of beautifying the rooms is now progressing rapidly. The charter and by-laws for this Corporation were drawn by an English expert, who performed the task in Washington during the past four weeks. It is admitted to be one of the most skillfully drawn documents that has ever been presented to the State Corporation Commission and when presented to that able body caused much comment. OTHER OFFICIALS THERE TOO. The stenographie and typewriter work of the private secretary to this noted English barrister was remarkable for its absolute correctness, neatness and typographical beauty. It may be well to state too that the brilliant member of the English bar and a notable attendant at the deliberations of the King's bench drew the charter. President Mitchell retained Attorney J. Thomas Hewin as local representative in the affairs and he spent one week in Washington in conjunction with this work. He was complimented by this English expert upon his studious habits and his ability to secure from the law libraries at Richmond and Washington the information to confirm him in his previously determined conclusions in having the charter conform to the Virginia statutes and those of the United States. THE ENGLISH EXPERT. It may be well to state that this expert was thoroughly conversant with the statutes governing Virginia Corporation law and had three legal documents in his possession when he came to this country. He will remain here for a few weeks, but will return to England before the first of the winter. In this conclusion, it may he interesting to state that he says that one of the leading bankers of the British Empire is an African, who resides at Johannesburg, South Africa. The loaning power of The Anglo-American Finance Corporation will be practically unlimited and money can be obtained upon good collateral in any amount up to and exceeding one million dollars. The Corporation will finance that is furnish the money for every kind of business banks, railroads, etc. THE FINAL CONCLUSION To enter into the details of this remarkable venture would sound to the uninformed like a fairy tale, but to white men of financial wisdom and experience, it will be readily understood. Not since the foundation of the government has a colored man been recorded the leadership in such a remarkable undertaking and the outlook is bright for unparalleled success.

Virginiaans, for the first Time in 3 Years, Score on the Locals. For the first time in six years the Howard champion football team was scored upon on its own grounds by the strong and heavy team from Hampton after a hard fought and most brilliantly fought game, 13 to 7. The home team, weakened by the absence of (two of its star players Oliver and Forlest, who are injured) fought like Trojans to keep clear the record of not being scored on for the last three years, but the Hampton team finally tallied on its fourth down after Howard had fumbled the ball on the yard line. Both teams played clean, straight open, fast football. For Howard, the whole team starred, but Gray, Nixon, Beecher, Beecher, Seahawker and Chandler deserve special mention for their brilliant and competent playing. Scott, Bender, Plint, Lams on and Shearers were early the star of the Hampton team. Howard scored first touchdown in eleven minutes of play. Breeze punted 30 yards to Hampton's 25 yard line. Bender dropped the punt and Seahawker, Howard's speedy end, fell upon it. Gray and Breeze made runs of 12 and 8 yards respectively, ground right end. A forward pass from Breeze to Seahawker placed the ball on Hampton's 1 yard line, and Gray took the piskin over the goal for Howard's first score. Nixon easily kicked goal. The ball see-sawed up and down the field most of the first part of the second quarter, and there was hardly any advantage on either side. In the latter part of this quarter Bender made a wicked kick of 60 yards to Nixon on Howard's 1 yard line. Howard gained the ball on a fumble and Shearer took the piskin over Howard's goal on the fourth down after his team had been thrown back three times for losses. In the third quarter Bender kicked off to Nixon on Howard's 7 yard line and he returned the punt 29 yards. From this time on Howard's backfield toro Hampton's line to places, but Hampton always managed to rally and hold for downs when her goal was in danger. In the last part of tots quarter Gray, by a long run around right end placed the plinkin on Hampton's 8 yard line. Drive and Gilmore pulled off some new football and worked a beautiful forward pass back of Hampon's goal for the last touchdown. Nixon missed goal by an inch from a difficult angle. Summary.

This game was one of the anappest and cleanest contests ever played under the auspices of the Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association, and was witnessed by thousands of spectators. Hampton showed superiority in end runs and forward passes and kicking and had it not been for Lincoln's superb defense the goal of the orange and blue would have been crossed. In the second quarter Hampton was on the "war-path." During the first few minutes of play Bender, the quarterback for Hampton threw a pass to Jones, the left end, a distance of twenty-five yards, for a touchdown. Bender kicked goal. Hampton then received the kick-off and within six minutes Bender dropkicked, from Lincoln's thirty yard line, this adding three points to the score of Hampton. In the third quarter Jamerson was sent around left and for Lincoln's only score. In the fourth quarter no scoring was done by either side. The brilliant playing of Scott, Gayle, Bender, Jamison and Sherrie for Hampton and Collins, Jamerson and Bullock, for Lincoln were the features of the game.—ewr Mrs. Robert Alexander is slowly improving.

How, Without Incomending Himself, Athes Found His Equipment. ARTAGNAN was so completely bewildered that, without taking any heed of what would become of kitty, he ran at full speed across half tears and GI'll not stop till he came to Athos' door. He crossed the court, ran up the two sights to Athos' apartments and knocked at the door enough to break it down. Athos met his comrade. "Are you wounded, my friend? How pide you are!" he cried. "Athos," said D'Artagnan, "prepare yourself to hear an incredible, an unheard of history. Milady is marked with a neurdele upon her shoulder." "Ah!" cried the musketeer as if he had received a ball in his heart. "Are you sure," said D'Artagnan, "are you sure that the other is dead—she of whom you told me one day at Amlona!" Athos uttered a groan and let his head slink into his hands. "This one is a woman of from twenty-six to twenty-six years of age." "Fair," said Athos, "is she not, with blue and clear eyes of a strange bellany, with black eyelids and eyebrows." "The deure deits is small, red in color or?" "Yes." "I will see her, I'Artagian." "Howare, Athos, howare! You en denervored to kill her. She is a woman to return you like and not to face. I promise you." "My dear friend, of what consequence is it if she kills me?" asked Athos. "If you, per chance, think I set any great store by life." "There is something horribly mysterious under all the Athos. This woman is one of the cardinal's spies. I am sure of that." "In that case take care of yourself if the cardinal does not hold you in high admiration for the affair of how he beasts a great hatred for you. If you do not do, do not go alone. When you not use every precaution, Maturat, in short, everything, even your own shadow." "Dermatomyosis!" said I'Artagian, "for this will be only necessary till after tomorrow, for when once with the army we shall have I hope, only men to die." "In the morning, said Athos, "I remember my trip of vision, and wherever you go, I will go with you. You must return to the line de Paysours. I will accompany you. All this will not advance your equipment, but fortunately you have the sap phone." "The expedition is yours, my dear Athos. Do you not tell me it was a familiar one." "I take back the ring after it has passed through the hands of that informant, course. Never! That ring belonged to Athos." "Please of them. You can borrow at least a thousand crowns on it. With that ring you can extract yourself from your present difficulties, and when you are full of money again you can reclaim it and take it back cleansed from its ancient status as it will have passed through the hotel of usurers." "Agrieved. Let us pledge the ring, but upon one condition." "That they will be crowned for you and be crowned for me." "I don't think of such a thing. Athena I don't want the half of such a sum I am still only in the guards and be selling my saddles I shall get it. What do I want? A house for Planeet that is that." She you forget that I have a ring so much. "To which you attach more value than I do to mine at least I have thought it so much." "Yes, for in any extreme circumstance it might not only extract us from some great embarrassment or even a great danger. It is not only a valuable diamond. It is an enchanted talisman." When Athena was about to go out with Artagnan he made Grimald the sign of a person taking an ash and the luckey imputed took down his musket and got ready to follow his master. They arrived without incident at the Rue des Dauphins. Reminding me standing at the door. He cast aside his lit memorial, banting loudly of D'Artagran as he passed him. "Make listen to my dear lodger," said he. "There is a very pretty girl waiting for you to sit up and, you know, women don't have to be made to want." Upon the building heading to his chamber and greeting against the door he found Kitty, all in a tremble. As soon as she perceived him: "You promised to protect me; you promised to save me from her anger." she said. "Remember, it was you who ruined me." "Yes, yes, to be sure, Kitty," said D'Artagran. "Be at ease, my girl. But what happened after my departure?" "How can I tell," said Kitty. "I thought she would remember it was through my chamber you had gone into hers and that then she would suppose it was your accomplish, so I took what little money I had and the best of my things, and I get away as fast as I could. Place me in your province with some lady of your acquaintance. "My dear little love, in my country the ladies do without chambermaids. But stop; I can manage your business for you. Panic! go, and find M. Armands. Request him to come here directly. We have something very important to say to him. Kitty, did you ever hear talk of a young woman who was carried off one night? "There now! Oh, M. le Chevallier, do you love that woman still? "No, too! It is one of my friends who loves her M. Athos; this gentleman here. You understand, my dear girl, she is the wife of that frightful baboon you saw at the door as you came in." "Oh, you remind me of my fright! If he should have known me again." "What? Know you again! Did you ever see that man before?" "He came twice to milady's about fifteen or eighteen days ago, and yesterday evening he came again." "My dear Athos, we are enveloped in a network of spies! Do you believe he knew you again, Kitty?" "I pulled down my bood as soon as I saw him, but perhaps it was too late." At that moment Aramis arrived. The matter was all explained to him, and the friends gave him to understand that among all his high connections he must dud a place for Kitty. "Mime, de Bols-Tracy asked me, for one of her friends who resides in the provinces, I believe, for a trustworthy femme de chamber," said Aramis. He placed himself at the table and wrote a little note which he sealed with a ring and gave the billet to Kitty. "And now, my dear girl," said D'Artagnan, "you know that it is not good for any of us to be here. Therefore let us separate. We shall meet again in better days, defend upon it." And he went to conduct Kitty downstairs. An instant afterward the three young men separated, agreeing to meet again at 4 o'clock at Athos' residence, and leaving Pinchester to guard the house. Aramis returned home and Athos and D'Artagnan went about pledging the siphire. As the Gasson had foreseen, they found no difficulty in obtaining 200 pistols upon the ring. Still further, the Jeweler told them that if they would sell it to him, as it would make a magnificent pendant for earrings, he would give 500 pistols, for it. Aramis and D'Artagnan, with the activity of two soldiers and the knowledge of two commissars, hardly required three hours to purchase the entire equipment of the musketer. But when Aramis' horse and equipment and those of Grimland were purchased Athos had not a son left of his 10 pistols. D'Artagnan offered his friend a part of his share, which he should return when convenient. But Athos only replied to this proposal by shrugging his shoulders. "How much did the jeweler say he would give for the sapphire if he purchased it?" and Athos. "Five hundred platoles." "That is to say, 290 more—100 pistoles for you and 100 pistoles for me. Well, now, that would be a real fortune to us, my friend. Go and tell him the ring is his D'Artagnan, and bring back the 290 pistoles with you." Half an hour afterward D'Artagnan returned with the 2000 livres and without having met with any accident. It was thus, Athos found at home resources which he did not expect. At 4 o'clock the four friends were all assembled at Athos apartments. Suddenly Pancheter entered, bringing two letters for D'Artagnan. The one was a little billet, gently folded, with a pretty seal in green wax, on which was impressed a dove bearing a green branch. The other was a large square epistle, resplendent with the terrible arms of his entourage the cardinal duke. At the sight of the little letter the heart of D'Artagnan bombed, for he believed he had seen that writing be fore, and, although he had seen that writing but once, the memory of it remained at the bottom of his heart. "Be," said the letter, "on Thursday next at 7 o'clock in the evening on the road to Chinah and look carefully into the carriages that pass, but if you have any consideration for your own life or that of those who love you, do not speak a single word, do not make a movement which may lead any one to believe you have recognized her who expresses her love to everything for the sake of saving you but for an instant." No signature. "Do not," said Attiez, "between 6 and 7 o'clock in the road of Chinah is quite deserved." "It is a share." "But suppose we all go," said D'Artagnan, "They won't devour us all four four bodies, horses, arms and all." "But if it is a woman that writes," said Tillman, "and that woman desires not to be seen remember you compromise her, D'Artagnan, which is not being like a gentleman." "You will remain in the background, and I will advance alone." "Let us make the trip" said Aramis. "As you piece" said Athos. "But this second letter," said Athos, "You must that." "Well," said IArtagian, "let us see, explain what he his enemies' commands," and he miscalled the letter and read. M. Artagian, of the King's guards, composed the book, is expected at the Pallas Academy to check LA HAOSEX NEXUS "Whew!" said Athos. "Here's a run droves much more serious than the other." "I will go to the second after attend- ing the first," said D'Artagnan. "One is for 7 o'clock, and the other for S; there will be time for both." "Yes. But the Bastille?" said Aramis. "Bah! You will get me out if they put me there," said D'Artagnan. "To be sure we will," replied Aramis and Fortune, with admirable prompt- ness and decision, as if that were the simplest thing in the world. "Let us do better than that," said Athos. "Do not let us leave him during the whole evening. Let each of us wait on a gate of the palace with a muskeeter behind him. I have see any carriage with closed windows at all such prisoners appear come out, let us fall upon it. It is a long time since we have had a skirmish with the guards of M. le Cardinal, M. de Treville must think us dead." "Admirable!" said the young men in chorus. "Well," said Porthos. "I will run to the hotel and engage our comrades to hold themselves in readiness by K'clock, the rendezvous of the Place du Palais Cardinal. In the meantime you see that the lockkeys saddle the horses." A quarter of an hour afterward Porthos appeared at the end of the Rue Feron, mounted upon a very handsome horse, the gift of Mme. Coquard. Monsqueton followed him upon an Auvergne horse, small, but very good looking. Porthos was resplendent with joy and pride. At the same time Argana made his appearance at the other end of the street upon a super English charger; Bazin followed him upon a roan. The two mucketeers met at the gate, Athos and D'Arganan watching their approach from the window. D'Arganan and Athos came down, got into their saddles and all four set forward—Athos upon a horse he owed to a woman, Aramis on a horse he owed to his mistress, Porthos on a horse he owed to the lawyer's wife and D'Arganan on a horse which he had purchased and which he owed to his good fortune, the best mistress possible. The lackens followed. A short gallop brought them to the road of Challier; the day began to decline, cartoons were passing and reposing. D'Arganan, keeping at some distance from his friends, darted a scrutinizing glance into every carriage that appeared, but saw no face with which he was acquainted. At length, after waiting a quarter of an hour and just as twilight was beginning to tideown, a carriage appeared coming at a quick pace on the road of Sevres. A presentiment instantly told L'Artagnan that this carriage contained the person who had appointed the rendezvous; the young man was himself astonished to find his heart beat so violently. Almost instantly a female head was put out at the window, with two fingers placed upon her mouth, either to expain silence or to send him a kiss. L'Artagnan uttered a silently cry of joy. This woman, or, rather, this appiration, for the carriage, passed with the rapidity of a vision, was Muse, Bonadeux. By an involuntary movement and in spite of the connection given L'Artagnan put his beeve into a gallop and in a few strides overtook the carriage, but the window was close shut; the vision had disappeared. Arlington once remembered the injunction, "If you value your own life or that of those who love you remain motionless and as if you had seen nothing." He stopped, therefore, trembling, not for himself, but for the poor woman who had evidently exposed herself to great danger by appointing this rendezvous. The carriage pursued its way, still going at a great pace, till it dashed into Paris and disappeared. They reached the Rue St. Henore, and in the Place du Palais Cardinal they found the twelve convoked muskets walking about in expectation of their comedies. There only they made them a joint with the matter in question. Athes divided them into three groups, assumed the command of one, gave the second to Aramis and the third to Portes, and then each group went and took a position for watching near an entrance. L'Artagnan on his part entered at the front gate: "If I be Wandred has related all our affair to the ordinal, which is not to be doubted, and if he has recognized me, which is sensible, I may consider myself almost as a condemned man," said he to be himself, shaking his hand. "But why is he waited till now? Humph! There's all plain enough. Malthy has bad her complaint against me with that he persecuted grief which renders her so interesting, and this last offense has made the cup overglow. L'Artagnan, my friend, you are brave, you are proud, you have excellent qualities, but the women will ruin you." In this waiting room were two or six of the ordinal's guards, who recognized L'Artagnan, and, knowing that it was he who had wounded Jesse, they begged upon him with a smile of peculiar meaning. This smile appeared to L'Artagnan to be of bad acquaintance. The usher returned and made a sign to PArtagan to follow him. It appeared to the young man that the guards on one side depart whispered among themselves. He followed a corridor, crossed a grand salesman, entered a library and found himself to the presence of a man sented at a desk and writing. The usher introduced him and retired without speaking a word. PArtagan remained standing and examined this man. It was the cardinal. CHAPTER XXX A Terrible Vision. THE cardinal leaned his elbow on his manuscript, his check upon his hand and looked intently at the young man for a moment. No one had a more searching eye than the Cardinal de Rihehelen, and D'Artagnan felt this glance penetrate his eyes like a fever. "Monsleu: 'said the cardinal, 'there are several branches of the D'Artagnans at Tables and in its environs. To which do you belong?' "I am the son of him who served in the religion, wars." "That is well. It is you who set out seven or eight, months ago from your country to try your fortune in the capital?" "Yes, man-eignour." "You came through Meung, where something lofted you." "Monsleuignour: 'said D'Artagnan, 'this was what happened to me'— "Of no consequence, of no consequence," returned the cardinal, with a smile, which indicated that he knew the story as well as he who wished to relate it. "You were recommended to M. Treile were you not?" "Yes, misgourneur, but in that unfortunate air at Meung—" "The letter was lost," replied his ennounce. "Yes, I know that. Since that time many things have happened to you. You were walking one day behind the charrettes when it would have been better for you if you had been elsewhere. Then you took with your friends a journey to the waters of Forges. They stopped on the road, but you continued yours. That is all very simple. You had business in England." "Monsigneur," said D'Artaguan, quite confused. "I went—" "Hunting at Windsor or elsewhere. That concerns nobody. I am acquainted with the circumstances, because it is my position to know everything On your return you were received by an august personage, and I perceive with pleasure; that you preserve the souvenir she gave you." D'Artagnan placed his hand upon the queen's diamond, which he wore, and quickly turned the collet inward, but it was too late. "The day after that you received a visit from Cavola," resumed the cardinal. "He went to desire you to come to the palace. You did not return that visit, and you were wrong. Seek in your memory for what happened that very night." That was the very evening on which the carrying off of Mme. Bonacieux took place. D'Artagnan trembled. And he likewise recollected that half an hour before the poor woman had passed close to him, without doubt, carried away by the same power that had caused her disappearance. "In short," continued the cardinal, "as I have heard nothing of you for D. B. The Cardinal Looked Intently at the Young Man For a Moment. some time past I wished to know what you were doing. I have marked out a plan with respect to you." D'artagnan became more and more astonished. "I wished to explain this plan to you on the day you received my first invitation, but you did not come. Sit down, M. d'artagnan." And the cardinal pointed with his finger to a chair for the young man. "You are brave, M. d'artagnan, continued his enmity. "You are prudent, which is still better. I like men of head and heart. But you have powerful enemies. If you do not take great heed they will destroy you." "Alas, monsieur," replied the young man, "very easily, no doubt, for they are strong and well supported, while I am alone." "Yes, that's very true; but, alone as you are, you have already done much and will still do more. I don't doubt Now, what would you say to an enignee in my guards and a company after the campaign?" "Monstrousour," replied D'Artagnan, with an embarrassed air. "What? Do you decline it?" eroded the cardinal, with astonishment. "I am in his majesty's guards, monsigneur, and I have no reason to be disatisfied." "But it appears to me that my guards are also his majesty's guards, and who ever serves in a French corps serves the king." "Monsigneur, your enfluence has ill understood my word." "It is fit you should know, M. D'Artagnan, that I have received heavy and serious complaints against you. You do not consecrate your days and nights to the king's service alone." D'Artagnan colored. "In fact," said the cardinal, placing his hand upon a bundle of papers, "I have here a whole pile which concerns you. Come, reflect and decide." "Your goodness confounds me, monsigneur," replied D'Artagnan, "but since monsigneur permits me to speak freely I will presume to say that all my friends are in the king's musketeers and guards, and by an inconceivable fatality, all my enemies are in the service of your enmineur." "Do you happen to entertain the proud idea that I have not yet made you an offer equal to your merit?" "Monsigneur, your enmineur is a hundred times too kind on my account. The siege of La Rochelle is about to be resumed, monsigneur, I shall serve under the eye of your enmine, and if I have the good fortune to conduct myself at that siege in such a manner as to attract your attention, then I shall at least leave behind me some brilliant action to justify the protection with which you honor me." "That is to say, you refuse to serve me, monsieur," said the cardinal with a tone of rexation, through which, however, might be seen a sort of esteem. "Remain free, then, and preserve your hatreds and your sympathies." "Moneigment—" "Well, well," said the cardinal, "I don't wish you any ill, but you must be aware that it is quite trouble enough to defend and reward our friends. We owe nothing to our enemies; and let me give you a piece of advice: Take good care of yourself, M. d'Artagnan, for from the moment I withdraw my hand from you I would not give a penny for your life." "I shall entertain whatever may happen," said D'Artagnan, placing his hand upon his breast and bowing, "an eternal gratitude toward your eminence for that which you have done for me." "Well, let it be then, as you have said, M. d'Artagnan, we shall see each other again after the campaign. I will have my eye upon you, for I shall be there, and on our return, well we will settle our account!" "Ab, moneigment!" cried D'Arta- girl. "Wear me the weight of your anger; remain nocter, monogamous, if you and that I act as a gentleman ought to act." "Young man," said Richelieu, "M I am able to say to you again once more what I have said to you today, I promise you to do so." D'Artagnan went out, but at the door his heart almost failed him and he felt inclined to return. But the pobre and severe countenance of Athos crossed his mind. If he made the compact with the cardinal, which was required, Athos would no more give him his hand, Athos would renounce him. The whole of the next day was spent in preparations for departure and the night in farewells. At the first sound of the morning trumpet the friends separated, the musketeer hastening to the hotel of M. do Treville, the guards to that of M. Dessousart. Each of the captains then led his company to the Louvre, where the king passed them in review. The king was dull and appeared ill, which took off a little from his usual lofty carriage. In fact, the evening before, a fever had seized him in the midst of the parliament while he was holding his bed of justice. He had, not the less, decided upon setting out that same evening. The review over, the guards set forward alone on their march, the musketeers waiting for the king. Aramis wrote a long letter. To whom nobody knew. Kitty, who was to set out that evening for Tours, was waiting in the next chamber. D'Artagnan delilied with his company. On arriving at the Faunbourg St. Antoine he turned around to look gayly at the Bastille. But as it was the Bastille alone he looked at he did not observe military, who, mounted upon a light chestnut horse, isolated him out with her finger to two ill-looking men, who came close up to the ranks to take notice of him. To a look of interrogation which they made militarily replied by a sign that that was the person. Then, certain that there could be no mistake in the execution of her orders, she turned her horse and disappeared. The two men followed the company and at leaving the Faunbourg St. Antoine mounted two horses. CHAPTER XXXI. The Siege of La Rochelle. III. stage of La Rochelle, was one of the great political events of the reign of Louis XIII, and one of the great military enterprises of the cardinal. Of the important cities given up by Henry IV. to the Huguenots as places of safety there only remained La Rochelle. It became necessary, therefore, to destroy this last bulwark of Calvignan. Richelle, as every one knows, had been in love with the queen. But Buckingham, who tried to aid La Rochelle, had had the advantage over him and in two or three circumstances, particularly that of the diamond studs. It was, then, Richelle's object not only to get rid of an enemy of France, but to avenge himself of a rival. Richiebon knew that while combating England he was combating Buckingham, that when triumphing over England he trumped over Buckingham, in short that in humiliating England in the eyes of Europe he humiliated Buckingham in the eyes of the queen. The first advantage had been gained by Buckingham. Arriving unexpectedly in sight of the Isle of Re, with ninety vessels and nearly 20,000 men, he had surprised the Count de Toulrue, who commanded for the king in the Isle. He had, after a sanguinary conflict, effected his hindung. The Count de Toulrue entered into the citadel St. Martin with his garrison and threw a hundred men into a little fort, called the fort of La Prec. This event had hastened the resolutions of the cardinal, and till the king and he could take the command of the sieve of La Rochelle, which was determined on, he had sent the Duke of Orleans to direct the first operations and had ordered all the troops he could dispose of to march toward the theater of war. It was of this detachment, sent as a vanguard, that our friend D'Artagan formed a part. The king, as we have said, was to follow as soon as his bed of justice had been held, but on rising from his bed of justice on the 28th of June he felt himself attacked by fever. He was, notwithstanding, anxious to set out, but his illness becoming more serious, he was forced to stop at Villeur. Now whenever the king stopped the musketeers stopped. It resulted that D'Artagan found himself separated from his good friends—Athos, Aramis and Forthes. He, however, arrived without accident in the camp established before La Rochelle on the 10th of the month of September of the year 1627. The guards under the command of M. Dessart took up their quarters at the Minimes; but, as we know, D'Artagnan, preoccupied by the ambition of passing into the musketeers, had formed but few friendships among his comrades. While walking solitarily late in the afternoon along a pretty little road which led from the camp to the village of Angouville he saw the barrel of a musket glitter from behind a hedge and another on the other side of the road. He threw himself upon the ground. At the same instant the gun was fired, and he heard the whistling of a ball pass over his head. No time was to be lost. D'Artagnan sprung up with a bound, and at the same instant the ball from the other musketeer tore up the stones near him. D'Artagan was not one of those unlessly brave men who seek a ridiculous death, in order that it may be said of them that they did not give way a single step. "If there should be a third shot," said he, "I am a lost man." He immediately therefore took to his boots, but a third shot was fired, and this time so well aimed that it struck his hat and carried it ten paces from him. As he, however, had no other hat, he picked up this hat he ran and arrived at his quarters, very pale and quite out of breath. It must be a vengeance of miady's he decided. He endeavored in vain to remember the faces or dress of the assassin. He had escaped so rapidly that he had not had leisure to remark anything. "Ah, my poor friends!" murmured D'Artagnan. "Where are you? How sadly I want you!" D'Artagnan remained all the next day in his quarters, assigning as a reason to himself that the weather was bad. At 0 o'clock next morning the drum beat to arms. The Duke of Orleans visited the posts. Mondeur passed along the front of the line. Then all the superior officers approached him to pay their compliments. At the expiration of a minute or two M. Dessoussart made D'Artagnan a sign to come to him. He left the minks and advanced to receive his orders. "Monsieur is about to ask for some men of good courage for a dangerous mission." In fact, the Rochéllais had made a sortie during the night and had retaken a bastion of which the royal army had gained possession two days before. The matter was to assemble by reconnoitering whether the enemy guarded this bastion. At the end of a few minutes monseur raised his voice and said: "I want for this mission three or four volunteers led by a man who can be depended upon." "As to the men to be depended upon I have him under my hand, monsieur," said M. Dessart, pointing to D'Artagnan. "Four men of good will who will risk being killed with me" said D'Artagnan, raising his sword. Two of his comrades of the guards immediately spring forward, and two other soldiers having joined them the number was desired sufficient. D'Artagnan set out with his four companions and followed the trench. The two guards marched abreast with him, and the two soldiers followed behind. They arrived thus, screened by the lining of the trench, till they came within a hundred paces of the bastion. There, on turning round, D'Artagnan perceived that the two soldiers had disappeared. He thought that, beginning to be afraid, they had stayed behind. At the turning of the counter-scarp they found themselves within about sixty paces of the bastion. They saw no one, and the bastion seemed abandoned, but all at once a circle of smoke enveloped the giant of stone, and a dozen balls come whistling round D'Artagnan and his companions. They knew all they wished to know. The bastion was guarded. A longer stay in this dangerous spot would have been useless impidence. On arriving at the angle of the trench which was to serve them as a rampart one of the guards fell. A ball passed through his breast. The other, who was safe and sound, continued his way toward the camp. D'Artagnan was not willing to abandon his companion thus and stooped down to raise him and assist him in regaining the lines. But at this moment two shots were fired. One ball hit the head of the already wounded guard, and the other was flattened again at a rock after having passed within two inches of D'Artagnan. The young man turned quickly around, for this attack could not come from the boston, which was masked by the angle of the trench. The idea of the two soldiers who had abandoned him occurred to his mind and with them that of the assassins of two evenings before. He resolved then this time to know what he had to trust to and fell upon the body of his comrade as if he had been dead. He quickly saw two heads appear above an abandoned work within thirty paces of him. They were the heads of the two soldiers. When they were within ten paces of him D'Artagman spring up close to them. The assassins comprehended that if they fell toward the camp without having killed their man they should be accused by him. Therefore their first idea was to pass over to the enemy. One of them took his gun by the barrel and used it as he would a club. He aimed a terrible blow at D'Artagman, who avoided it by springing on one side. But by this movement he left a passage free to the other, darted off toward the bastion. As the Rochelle们 who guarded the bastion were ignorant of the intentions of the man they saw coming toward them, they fired upon him, and he fell struck by a ball, which broke his shoulder. . In the mountain D'Artagnan had thrown himself upon the other soldier, attacking him with his sword. The conflict was not long. The wretched had nothing to defend himself with but his discharged grenades. The sword of the guard slipped down the barrel of the now useless weapon and passed through the thigh of the assassin, who fell. D'Artagnan immediately placed the point of his sword at his throat. "Oh, do not kill me!" cried the bandit. "Tarden, parson, my officer, and I will tell you all." "Wretch," cried D'Artagnan, "speak, and speak quietly." Were employed to assassinate me! "A woman whom I don't know, but who is called misty. My comrade knows her and called her so. It was with him she agreed and not with me. He even has in his pocket a letter from that person." "And how much did she give you for this fine enterprise?" "A hundred louis." "Well, come," said the young man, laughing, "she thinks I am worth something." A hundred louis! Well, that was a temptation for two minor able creatures like you. So I understand you accepted it, and I grant you my pardon, but upon one condition. "What is that?" said the soldier. "That you will go and fetch me the letter your comrade has in his pocket." And at these worlds D'Artagnan made & SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1912.

Phillips, ex-clerk in the offices of the Grand Pountain, United Order of True Reformers in the Hustings Court of this city last week, practically ends the list of prescriptions in this now celebrated affair in the financial history of the colored people of the United States. Phillips has been for months a valuable object on the streets of this city and where his peculiations reached hundreds, those of others could be counted in the thousands, to the nobery and despair of thousands of the trusting True Reformers throughout the country. We have not had the heart to comment upon the case as it stands in all of its hideous depravity. Skillful attorneys charged up the failure of the Savings Bank of the Grand Mountain, U. O. of True Reformers to the ignorance of the colored people and pictured their officers as hopelessly incompetent. This was used upon the juries with telling effect. It was not in evidence, however. In Phillips case and so he has been convicted and sentenced to one year in the Virginia penitentiary. As the matter now stands, ex.Cashier R. T. Hill is held up to the world as the executed official responsible for the Bank's downfall and the loss of the thousands of dollars to the confiding depositors. It may not be well to pursue the subject further. The settlement of the Bank's affairs now rests with the Chancery Court of the city of Richmond, where it is having a Rip Van Winkle sleep with costs eating up slowly but surely, whatever of the savable wreckage that remains. Experience is a great teacher and it may be that in this instance, the colored people of this and other States will profit by these remarkable happenings. Certain it is that the downfall of this institution, instead of disheartening the business elements amongst us has had a tendency to move them to greater efforts. The admirable showing made by the Mechanics' Savings Bank of Richmond, the St. Lake Penny, Savings Bank, the Southern Aid Society and the Richmond Benedictal Insurance Company in erecting new structures and in entering the competitive field for business to its own story. The American Benedictal Insurance Company has shown progress. Add to this the incorporation this week of the Anglo-American Finance Corporation with a capital of $125,000.00 and with British capital to back the same and the outlook for the colored people, instead of being hopeless is most hopeful. Let us all take courage. The skies have been dark, but the sunshine is just beyond. Colored Bank Sale and Sound Negro Bank Withstands Severe Run. (N. Y. Financial Age.) The Mechanic's Bank, Richmond, Va., operated entirely by Negro officers and clerks and regarded as being one of the safest and most solvent institutions of its kind in the South, suffered a severe run during the past week because of a false rumor circulated as to its solvency. The bank has for its correspondents and clearances the First National Bank and the American National Bank, both of whom came quickly and promptly to the assistance of the bank and furnished more than a sufficient amount of ready funds to meet any and all requirements that the bank might be called upon to fulfil. In addition to this, C C Barkas State Bank Examiner, asured depositors that the bank was solvent and would meet its obligation. The run lasted for two days, at the end of which of which 75.4 per cent of the deposits withdrawn were deposited. Most Formalable (St. Louis) Mo. Arms The "run" on the Mechanics' Savings Bank of Richmond, Va. last week clearly demonstrates the tomper of the public and the period of untest through which we are passing of all "runs" this one, according to accounts, was the most unreasonable A depositor went to the bank, after the closing hour, to get a check cashied and was informed that the bank was closed. Spreading the news that the bank was closed and it could not get his money caused one of the most persuasive "runs" ever experienced in that section. Many a substantial bank has been driven to the wall by an unexpected "run" during a low tide in financial circulation, but in this time of prosperity the other banks of Richmond came loyally to the Mechanics' support and more money was on hand than needed to satisfy the depositors. So President Mitchell is to be congratulated that his bank is as strong today as ever and stands as a monument of Nexto enterprise and integrity. Will Help the Bank. Mr John H Mabrey reports that since the unwarranted "run" on the Mechanics' Savings Bank, the Ladies Antiquary of the Starlight Beneficial Club has opened an account in the Bank Mrs John H Mabrey is President and Mrs Lella Williams, Secretary _____ Mechanics Savings Bank (Osaka, Neb. Enterprise) The Mechanics' Savings Bank of Richmond, Va. of which John Mitchell, Jr. is president, was recently subjected to the test of what is known as a "trum." And the manner in which it met it has demonstrated to the people and the world at large that it is a safe strong financial institution. No higher evidence of this can be given than to have several of the strongest white banks in Richmond tender to Mr. Mitchell unlimited financial assistance. And the high compliments paid the institution by the State Banking Commissioner, Barkside, is another good one. As an illustration of the failure which the neighborhood banks had in Mr. Mitchell, they sent $10,000 to him which were placed on his counter, so that he would be able to meet the demand of every call for money, if his bank should not have the currency in reserve. And this example should go to stimulate the industrious patainting and reliable Negro of this country. This also shows us what great danger spite, ignorance and littleness may hold. In this particular instance, the man had a deposit of $10,85 in a safe and strong institution and he got the notion in his head that he wished to withdraw it, after the bank had closed for the day. Because he could not withdraw his money after banking hours he started a rumor that the bank had "closed its doors." Such silly reports have often wrecked strong institutions. It is true we are a long distance from the seat of the trouble, but we know of the bank and are personally acquainted with Mr. Mitchell; and we hold him in the highest esteem, as well as the bank. But we have not been able to ascertain from Mr. Mitchell's statement or any other we have seen, what prompted the action of the man who had the $10.85 in the bank. There might be some excuse for the man who started the rumor. If he was too ignorant to know anything about the custom of banks closing at a regular hour in the afternoon. But viewing the affair at this distance we are inclined to believe that there was some well defined or pre-arranged scheme to do great harm to this splendid institution. FROM LESBURG, VA.

While evacuating in a collar of the hotel of Peter Lubbins, in the business center of Mount Carmel, Pa., a tucan, containing forty-five sticks of the highest grade of dynamite, was discovered. The dynatite had been hidden by some unidentified persons, evidently with the intent of blowing up the hotel, but who it is believed, lost courage because of the fear of the poison sentiment against such depressions owing to the developments in the McNamara estate at Los Angeles.

Emperor William of Germany has asked the Austrian government to submit to an arbitration conference the dispute between that country and Servia. No answer has yet been received from Vienna, but the German emperor is hopeful that Austria will acquiesce in the hope of arbitration. No Change In Situation No change for the worse in the international political situation brought about by the war in the Balkans is visible except insofar as the continued tension decreases the ability of diplomacy to resist a rupture. Great Britain, France and Germany all are giving counsels of moderation both at Vienna and St. Petersburg. There also is reason to believe that Great Britain has given Servia as well as Russia and France to understand that she has no interest in Servia's demand for a port on the Adriatic sea. She also has told them she has no intention of supporting Servia's claim by force o Yarmas not of aiding any other power to do so. The fact that the Austro-Hungarian consul at Prisend has arrived at Uskup, thus disposing of the reports of his murder, ought to be helpful, in the opinion of diplomats, in bringing about a general improvement of the situation. But this is offset by a report that Servian troops have occupied Durazzo, the principal Albanian port on the Adriatic. Dispatches from the Continent say that nearly 5,000,000 men are under arms in Russia, Germany and Austria, and that Servia is dispatching all her available troops to the Hungarian border to repel a possible attack from Austria. One ray of hope observed by diplomats in London was a dispatch from Paris stating that conservatives there had started a counter movement against what they term "exaggerated reports" of a possible European war. Another report was that Italy also Another report was that Italy also was preparing for war. The progress of the negotiations between the delegates of Turkey and of the Halkan allies at Tchatalja is still a sealed book. In diplomatic circles in London it is stated that Turkey has presented the following as an acceptable basis for an agreement: First, no war indemnity. Second, the retention by Turkey of the territory bounded by the Maritza river, the fortress of Adrianople to be included. Third, the maintenance of the sovereignty of the sultan of Turkey in Albania. As soon as Trukey shows that she really wishes for peace, Bulgaria will, it is authoritatively declared, demonstrate her willingness to spare as much as possible Turkish susceptibilities by still further moderating her demands. In addition to not insisting on the evacuation of the Tchadella lines in front of, Constantinople by the Turkish troops and allowing the garrison of Adrianople to march out, provided guarantees are given that the troops will not engage in further hostilities. Bulgaria probably will consent to Turkey withdrawing the artillery from that fortress. In other ways also the Bulgarian government will be prepared to do everything possible to aid in establishing a permanent peace. The danger in the general situation arises not alone from the conflicting interests of Austria, Servia and other powers, but from the possibility that Turkey, following the traditional policy of profiling by the embroilment of the great powers, may adopt an irreconcilable attitude in the peace negotiation. Reports from Belgrade state that the Servian officers, who now have the upper hand, are absolutely against any compromise, and that King Peter and his cabinet, whose intimate adviser is the Russian minister, will obey their dictates.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1912 MINIMUM WAGE FOR ENGINEERS Arbitrators Point Out Danger to Public of Strikes and Federal and State Commission Suggested as Remedy. Thirty thousand locomotive engineers on fifty-two eastern railroads gain a partial victory in their demand for more wages, under the award announced by the board of arbitration. In its decision, however, the board holds that the public, which had no voice in the controversy, and no choice but to abide by the decision, had more at stake than either engineers or railroads; and the report emphasizes the necessity of plans to safeguard the public against the possibility of a future strike, whose consequences it depicts in somber vein. "It would be difficult to exaggerate the seriousness-of such a calamity," reads the report. "It is safe to say that the large cities of the east would find their supply of many articles of food exhausted within a week. Of so important a commodity as milk they would have no more than a day's supply. If a strike of the character lasted for only a single week, the suffering would be beyond our power of description. The interests of the public so far exceed those of the parties to a controversy as to render the former paramount. To this paramount interest both the railroad operators and the employees should submit." To place such a strike beyond the realms of probability, the board advocates the creation of federal and state wage commissions. These commissions, the board suggests, should be vested with practically the same powers over organized labor as public utilities commissions now exercise over quasi-national corporations. "It is the belief of the board," continues the decision, "that in the last analysis the only solution is to qualify the principle of free contract in the railroad service." From this suggestion P. H. Morrissey, the representative of the engineers on the board, dissents. While the award increases wages on some railroads and for some classes of service, it holds that a general increase on all roads is not warranted. The award dates back to May 1 last, and will hold for one year from that date. Mr. Morrissey, representing the engineers, has already indicated doubt as to its renewal. In the past, with several notable exceptions, the contracts between the roads and the engineers have been renewed annually. Following are the more important of the board's awards and the requests of the engineers. In passenger service, a minimum wage was granted for $4.25 for 100 miles or less; and an overtime rate of 50 cents per hour with an average speed of twenty miles per hour. The engineers asked $4.40 and $4.60 per day of 100 miles, according to the size of the locomotive cylinder, with an overtime rate of 70 cents per hour after five hours. In through freight service, a minimum was granted for $4.75 per day of 100 miles or less, with overtime proata after ten hours. The engineers requested rates of $5.25, $5.90 and $5.75 per day of 100 miles, according to size of the engine; and $7 for Mastel engine; the same rates to apply to mine runs, work, wreck, helper or pusher, milk and circus trains. In local freight service, twenty five cents additional to the through freight rates was granted. This met the full request of the engineers. In switching service, a minimum of $4.10 a day of ten hours or less was granted. The engineers asked $4.50 per day of ten hours in switching service and for belt line service. All existing rates higher than the minimum granted by the board are continued in force. In fixing the minimum wage in passenger service at $4.25 per day, a higher minimum rate is established for the roads, parties to the arbitration with the exception of a few. In awarding the minimum through freight rate of $4.75 per day, the board establishes wages for the district that measurably approach the current minimum of roads now paying the better rates. In making the rate for local freight service twenty-five cents higher than through freight service a general increase of compensation is granted. The effect of the twenty-mile per hour basis of computing overtime in the passenger service, the rules regarding final terminal delay and other changes in the rules of service are all more favorable to the engineers than existing rules on many of the roads. Farmer Killa Bandit in Home. After being held up in his barn and then being marched to his house with his hands behind him, Lee Inakeep, a prosperous farmer living near Romney, W. Va., shot and killed one of his associants. The dead robber proved to be Frank Hardy, a negro living in the vicinity. Mr. Insheep wounded the other robber; who is said to be Anjie Hardy, a brother of the dead bandit, and who managed to escape. Insheep narrowly escaped death, a bullet plowing its way through one cheek, and his housekeeper, Mary Heath, was beaten on the head with the butt end of a revolver and seriously injured. Officers and possess of citizens of Hampshire county, assisted by Police Lieutenant John Triber, of Cumberland, Md., and bloodhounds, have been searching the woods and mountains for the fugitive, and so incensed are the citizens over the attempted murder and robbery of Insheep and his housekeeper that no one living in the vicinity expects to see the negro brought back alive. Eighteen Miners Hurt in Cave-in. Eighteen men were seriously injured by a cave-in at the Barnum mine, No. 2, of the Pennsylvania Coal company at Duryea, near Wilkes-Barre, Pa. The cave-in came without warnings, and the injured men were partly covered by the slate and coal. Rescuers promptly went to work and the entombed men were taken to the surface before gas could accumulate. Thirty other men, who were in the mine at the time, escaped by a second opening. The most seriously Injured are: A. B. Jetter, superintendent of the colliery, injured internally; John J. McNulty, miner and treasurer of the school district of Pittsburg; Frank Flannery, miner; Martin Reap, miner, and James Langan, miner. All the other victims are foreigners. Several of the injured are likely to die. Nearly all the physicians in the vicinity were summoned to the shaft to attend to the injured. Most of the victims were removed to the Pitston hospital. An investigation shows that the accident was caused by a depression in the surface, which caused the roof to fall and entombed the men in the place they were working. Commits Schrank to Asylum. John Schrank, the New York man, who also Colonel Roosevelt was committed by Judge A. C. Backus in Milwaukee, Wis., to the Northern Hospital for the Insane at Oshkosh. This disposition of the case was taken after the commission of five alienists had filmed its report declaring Schrank insane and after ten or twelve witnesses had given testimony in connection with the shooting. The conclusions of the report signed by the alienists follow: "First — John Schrank is suffering from insane delusions, grandiose in character and of a systematic variety, "Second—In our opinion, he is insane at the present time. "Third—On account of the connection between his delusions on the act with which he stands charged, we are of the opinion he is unable to confer intelligently with counsel on the conduct of his defense." Family Slain With Axe. The bodies of William Esley, his wife and four-year old child were found in their home in Philadelphia, Miss. All had been murdered with an axe. The police believe that they were victims of the "acrifice sect" to which they were reported to have belonged. Clementine Barmabet, "high priestess" of the cult, who admitted taking eighteen human lives, is in prison at Lafayette, La. but she is believed to have knowledge of the killings in Philadelphia. Ferry Bumper Crushes Man. Frank Leaver, of Port Richmond, a suburb of Philadelphia, was at work repairing a weight box under the alip of the Philadelphia & Reading railroad ferry in Camden, N. J., when his head was caught between the bumper of a ferryboat and the end of the swing bridge. He was crushed to death. Take 596 Gall Stones From Woman Mrs. John Schnehe, forty-two years of age, of Lavelle, near Shenandoah, Pa., died at the state hospital at Fountain Springs, following an oper ation in which 596 gall stones were removed from her.

An Afterclap or A Victory Won by Stratagem By CLARISSA MAGKIE I WAS spending a week in Quince Harbor at the hospitable home of Captain Barnabas Fish and his wife, who was Maria Weeka, a few months ago. We were nearly through one of Maria's excellent dinners when Captain Barnabas leaned back in his chair and addressed his wife. "Any afterclap, Maria?" he asked genially, for that was his term for dessert in any form. "Apple pie," returned Maria as she beasted out with the dishes. "That's good, but I thought I smelled mince pie this morning," hinted the captain. "I Twasn't any of my making. Lucy's been making pie all the morning. I smelled 'em, too. She had too much clove in 'em. Maria had served her own daky pantry and now sat down. "Good Lord, how do you know there was too much clove in her pleas?" The captain stared at his wife. "I smelled that tool. But I would have known anyway, for Lucy Drake always was partial to cloves. That's why she's dried up. Cloves are drying to the blood." "It's too bad she can't get Orville Beers to eat more of them. He's growing fatter every day." The captain passed his plate for a second helping of ple. "Wouldn't hurt him if he dried up some—and blower away after ward!" "Why, Captain Barnabas!" I gasped, astonished at the bitterness of his tone. "Why, captain. I say, too." chimed in Maria coldly. "I don't wonder Miss Telham is surprised to hear such details from a man of your years, who was supposed to have left all wild talk and ways in the deep seas! And you a deacon in the church too!" "Hum!" bellowed the captain omloudly. "Jest because a mash leaves the deep seas and gets married and settles down, so to speak, is it any reason he can't call his soul his own? Can't be criticise a fellow being if he so minded?" "He can," sniffed Maria, "but it ain't Christian-like so to do." "Then," declared the captain, filling his beloved pipe and leading the way to the front plaza—"then, if I don't act Christian-like, I'm a heathen because I can't bear the sight of Lucy Drake's husband!" Maria's lips snapped together omloudly. Her dark eyes flashed dangerously. From previous symptoms I had observed in this newly married couple I knew that Maria was joyous Her next neighbor was Lucy Drake, who had married Orville Beere on the same day that Captain Fish had led Maria to the altar. Indeed, there was still some feeling in the matter of the weddings, for it seemed that Lucy was to be Maria's bridemaid and Orville was to be the best man, but they had slipped away to the church a half hour before the time set for the captain's wedding, and, taking advantage of the assembled guests and the decorated church, they had been married by the bewildered minister and were out in the ready room to greet Maria and her prospective husband when they arrived. The Bermes had come to live in Lucy's cottage, next door to Marina's, and Orville was gaining a livelihood in the same manner as Captain Fish—he "fellowed the bay," as they called it—that is, he fished and clammed and dredged for oysters, set cel pots and lobster pots and by pedilting his funny spoon here and there was enabled to set a bountiful table as well as to cut into Captain Fish's particular line of trade. "It's too bad you didn't show preference for Lucy before you was married," murmured Maria in a tone inended for the captain's car alone, but I heard it. "It ain't Lucy that bothers me; it Orville," explained the captain hastily. "What's he cuttin' into my business for, eh?" "Why indeed?" I beheaded, and Marina sat down on the top step and took some knitting from her apron pocket. "Why don't he stick to his farm over to the Wella? I don't raise potaters and run competition to him!" argued the captain angrily. --- "Of course not!" I soothed. "He can't raise potatoes in April." put in Maria. "He can plant 'em, Maria, and you know it." retorted the captain. "Why ain't he doin' it instead of goin' fish in' and eatin' mince plen?" "Orville don't eat them plen, Barna bas," said Maria mildly. "Who does, then? Seems as if I smell mince ples there every day, and I know I've seen him a-eatin' em down the bay." "Lucy told me about it. She's put ting 'em away in cold storage against next, winter. She read something about it and she says it's a great success." "You know there was an old loe house on the Drake place, Barnabas Mhle it was while you was at me that Lock's pa was in the ice business Well, Orville tinkered it up and made it right, and when Willow poad was from over he had the icehouse filled to the brim. Orville always was a good business man." "And where was I all this time? naked Captain Barnabas with a bewildered glance at me. "You? Why, you was, down to New York testifying in that salvage case. There was a schooner broke from her mooring and snook out here in a blow Not winter. Captain nosed R happened. While he was away there came a heavy cold wave. Ice was twelve inches thick on Willow pond, so Orville stored ice while the froze stored insid of making hay while the sun shines" laughed Maria. "And you really mean that Lucy Drake's cold storage" mince pies against next winter" demanded the captain incredulously. "Yes; no she says. She showed me a batch yesterday. There was seven of 'em. She has to put in an extra allowance of brandy so they're keep She poured melted paraffin all over the crust and everything to seal it tight. Then next fall when she takes 'em out all she's got to do is to lift off the paraffin cover and there's her pie. Of course it's only one of Orville's experiments. I guess it comes about because he had a dreadful fit of indigestion, and Lucy shut down on pie. Said he couldn't have another one till next winter. Well, I guess them dishes won't wait any longer. I'll leave you and Miss Tehallam to talk scandal, captain." "Something's the matter, Captain Barnaban," blinded. "What was that you meant about seeing Orville Beera eating mince pie?" "I did see him—seen him every day," stoutly asserted the captain. "You see, he's sort of cutin' into my fashin' business, and I've made it my duty to keep a watch on him and his doings and keep count of how many fishes he ketches and so forth. So the other day I got out my applause and looked at Orville. He was way down the bay in his boat, and I declare if he wasn't eatin' a pie—a bull pie! Yes, ma'am. Miss Telham. He took it from outer a bag, took something off the top and flung it overboard, and then he just waded right into, that mince pie." "How did you know you were mince?" I queried with Quince Harbor Inguilitrens. "I smelled the cloak," and the cap hin winked a blue eye at me. When we had enjoyed a little laugh at his witticism the captain leaned over and whispered, "I've got evidence of a deep laid scheme on Orville's part; come down to the boathouse an' I'll show you." I followed him willingly down the front walk and across the road to the boathouse on the beach. He opened the door, and from within he brought a clam basket in which was something hard and white and brittle and round. "What is it?" I asked. "It's a paradee coverings for cold storage inplees." he said solemnly. O. K. Kaukha "I found 'em floatin' down the bay." exhibiting them to my amused gaze "I found 'em floatin' down the bay where that developer flung 'em before eatin' the plies. See his game?" "Well, this is the way it looks to me Lucy, she cuts Orville short on mimespies. He's a terribly greedy fellow and he fixes up a plan where his wife will be persuaded to make a lot of pleas and parade them and store them against next winter; that's the experiment on her part. Now, Orville puts the plies in the feeble and helps him self to 'em whenever he wants one of two or three, an he cats 'em down the bay, throwin' the paradeeen top overboard, forgettin' they're evidence of his crime. Now, I'll bet you that I Lucy Beers was to count her cold storied plies today she'd find out that there wasn't many left against next winter. This plee cattin' trick is Orville's experiment." "How dreadful!" I exclaimed, even as I laughed at the thought of fat Orville Beers guiltily devouring mince pies down the bay in perfect unconsciousness that his peridy was wilt nessed by Captain Barnates Fish. "What are you going to do, captain? It doesn't seem right that Lucy should be so deceived by her husband." "I'm goin' to protect Lucy because she was a Drake, an' if you were born in Quince Barrard you'd know that the Drakes are some kin to know an sucks, but nearer greese. I'm goin' to protect my dain't business, too, an' see that Orville gets his potatoes into the ground over at his farm by the 15th. Excuse me, ma'am." Captain Barnabas shot toward the house, and I followed him slowly to take in whatever comedy might be played before me. "I knew that Orville Beers was miles down the bay. I could see his boat with its patched sail white against the headland. "I suppose he is eating mince ple. I mused. Then events moved rapidly, as they usually do when Captain Barnabas sets them in motion. Maria emerged from her back door and entered Lucy's house. I heard Lucy's skrill examination and saw her sir from the house, followed by Martin, both heading for the icehouse. Lucy's thin arms dragged at the heavy door, and Maria helped. The two were gone five minutes. When they emerged Lucy was scolding sharply, and in her arms she carried a pile of empty pie tins. "Only eight pies left out of four dozen," she was saying angrily. The next morning when I went down to the front porch a farm wagon rattled out of Lucy Drake Boers' yard, and on the seat sat Lucy herself, smiling triumphant and holding a lunch basket in her lap. Beside her sat her husband. Orville, meek and downcast, driving the white horse with a loose rein. Lucy waved her hand at me in farewell as they rattled away. Orville nodded in his customary churlish way. "Where are they going?" I asked Maria at the breakfast table. "And where is Captain Barnabas?" "Orville Beers has gone to his farm to plant potatoes, and Lucy's gone with him. Captain Barnabas has gone down the bay a fishing." "So Orville Beers won't eat any more 'afterclaps' in solitude down the bay," I smiled over my coffee cup. "No more be won't." commented Maria dryly. "There were afterclaps to spare when Lucy got to talking to him when he got home last night." Capitol Chandler Falls. A 3000-pound chandelier in the hall of the house of representatives at Harrisburg, Pa. fell twenty feet, but did little damage, as the floor of the big room is made of heavy concrete. The chandelier was being taken down because it obstructed the view of the Abey paintings. It is to be stored away in the cellar, notwithstanding the face that it cost the state about $15,000. This was one of the lighting fixtures manufactured by the late John Sanderson and sold to the state at $4.80 a pound. GUNMEN IN DEATH HOUSE Murders of Rosenthal to Die Week of Jan. 6. The door of the death house at Sling Sing prison in Ossining, N. Y., has closed upon the four gunmen convicted as the actual assassins of Herman Rosenthal. Within this structure they will remain, presumably, until they march in rapid succession to the electric chair to which they were sentenced by Justice Goff, who fixed the week of Jan. 6 as the time for the payment of the murder penalty. A mob of more than a thousand excited persons swooped down upon "Lefty Louie" Rosenberg, "Gib the Blood" Horowitz, "Whitty Louis" Muller and "Daso Frank" Cirofiel as they left the train, and the prison guards had to be called out to conduct the prisoners safely to the prison. When the four men also barked, handcuffed together and closely guarded by a dozen deputy sheriffs, they were being hurried along by their guard, while the crowd bowed, when suddenly the tightly packed ranks of curiously seekers broke in on the lines of the sheriffs, nearly knocking the prisoners from their feet in their mad struggle to see the faces of the doomed quartet. 10,000 TURKEYS ON PARADE Governor of Texas Reviews Great March of Native Fowl.

TWO CONSECUTIVE HITS. An American Clergyman's Brilliant Performance in Paris. A well known illustrator while studying in Paris was visited by his father, a dignified and amiable old clergyman from the west. The student took great delight in conducting his father about and showing off the real life of the Parisians. One evening in a quint cafe the pair sat on a sort of balcony watching excitable men gesticulating and talking to each other, when the reverend gentleman inadvertently put his hand on a siphon of vichy and squirted a stream straight into the face of an anarchistic looking individual at a table below. The cafe was in an uproar at once. The two Americans were surrounded by Frenchmen, talking vehemently, demanding explanations and apology, and it was A "LIKE THIS, YOU BEER"—only on arrival of the proprietor that order was restored. The men resumed their places, and the interrupted meal was taken up again. The clergyman, againt at his mishap, kept brooding over the matter, showing a wistful desire to set himself right with his son at least. "Why, Bob," he said earnestly, laying a trembling finger on the siphon, "I just touched the bottle—barely touched it—like this, you see—" There was a bliss of charged water, followed by a rumble of fury from the table below. The clergyman had repeated his performance with unerring aim, the stream striking the long hairred Frenchman in the identical spot of the first performance. There was no use attempting a second apology. The two Americans seized their hats and laid from the gathering wrath.—New York Press. When the seventh vertebra is misplaced you can often replace it by exercise. Stand erect with arms relaxed at your sides, chest up. Now hold the chin down, so that the crown of the head is slightly higher than the forehead and the back of the neck is pressing against the collar button. Now reach the chin out as far as you can, then draw it back without moving the body or changing the position of the head. Repeat several times. Now stand erect, resting on the balls of the feet; extend the arms out in front of you, just the width of the body apart; keep the elbows straight, turn the palms up, with the back of them toward you. Now reach out with the palms as if you were trying to touch the wall with the palms of the hands, draw the arms and the shoulders back as far as possible and keep the elbows perfectly straight. Repeat the stretching about ten times. Get some one so place his hands over the back of the neck and he can feel the action caused by the exercise. This will soon improve the shape of the back of the neck, if you remember to carry your head and shoulders correctly. Massage would also be helpful.
