DISTINGUISHED ENGLISHMAN He Visits Gov. Wm. Hodges Mann and Mayor Ainslie Here.--Favorably Impressed with Richmond. Launches the Great Financial Enterprise. Will Revolutionize Commercialism Among VOLUME XXX, NUMBER 3. DISTIN EN He Visits Gov Mayor Ain Impress Launches the Great Revolutioniz Hon. John Phillips of London, England, accompanied by his secretary, Henry de Ridder, Esquire arrived in this city, Tuesday evening, December 17, 1912 from Washington, D. C. He was met at Elba Station by President John Mitchell, Jr. and immediately conveyed to the palatial and aristocratic Westmoreland Club, Sixth and Franklin streets, where he spent the night. This Club is one of the most exclusive organizations in the city and it embraces in its membership the most distinguished citizens that the Commonwealth affords. A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR Hon. John Phillips at once became the centre of attraction. His knowledge of finance and his world wide reputation as a barrister and confidential advisor attracted to him the elite of this city. Although he spent the first night of his stay here at the Westmoreland Club, a suite of rooms had been engaged for him at Hotel Richmond, and the next afternoon he transferred to that hostelry. Upon the occasion of his previous visit he stopped at the Jefferson Hotel. Why this distinguished subject of King Edward V should have taken an interest in the colored people and should have selected John Mitchell Jr. as the medium through which to "try out" a brand new plan for the betterment of the condition of the coloured people in this country, supplemented by their own efforts will probably ever remain a mystery. A FRIEND OF THE KING This distinguished Englishman is numbered as one of King Edward's personal friends and he is in direct touch and close communication with the bankers of England, who have as he plainly puts it, idle capital for investment to the amount of Six Hundred Pounds Sterling (Three Thousand Million Dollars). To divert some of this capital to the channels of trade of the coloured people of this country and to enable them to help themselves is his purpose. His stay here was to complete the organization of The Anglo-American Finance Corporation and he insisted upon looking into the face of each one of the colored men selected to perform his part of the work. He was delighted with conditions as he found them here. He stated that he had been around the world. He had visited every State in the Union. RICHMOND LEADS No where in this country, he declared had he seen such evidences thrift and prosperity as had met his gaze in this city. He regarded the Mechanics' Savings Bank as a monument to the enterprise of the coloured people and was outspoken in declaring that in leading this movement and erecting such a structure, Mr. Mitchell must have been inspired. He immediately approved of the plan to lease the entire third floor of that establishment as the home of The Anglo-American Finance Corporation at an annual rental of (81,250) Twelve Hundred and Fifty dollars. It was gratifying to him to see that the work was well under way and he declared that the management of President Mitchell had been perfect. MANY INVITATIONS EXTENDED. Invitations were extended to Hon. John Phillips by leading financiers of this city, but he insisted upon completing the work he had undertaken and he spent much of his time at the Mechanics Savings Bank. He addressed the Board of Directors of that institution Friday night, 6th inst., and a vote of thanks was tendered to him. On last Monday, President Mitchell through Hon. Ben P. Owens, Private Secretary, to the Governor, made arrangements for him to meet Colored People. His Excellency. In accordance with this arrangement, Director A. D. Price sent a carriage to the Mechanics Savings Bank and the party consisting of Hon. John Phillips, Henry de Ridder, Eaq. and John Mitchell, Jr. drove to the Governor's Office, where Secretary Owens met them cordially and later ushered them into the presence of His Excellency. MEETS THE GOVERNOR. It will always remain in one's memory, the scene of that meeting. The distinguished visitor was introduced to His Excellency by President John Mitchell, Jr. and the bow of the courtiers of Spain and the nobility of England in the presence of royalty was duplicated here as the term "Your Excellency" was voiced by this visitor, who had coursing in his veins every sterling quality of the world's greatest nation. His manner and deportment deeply impressed Gov. William Hodgson Mann and he did not fall to rise to the dignity of the occasion. All were invited to be seated and a most pleasant conversation followed. His Excellency is well versed in history and particularly in Virginia's history and he did not fall to impress this fact upon his distinguished visitor, who responded with altruity and who displayed a fund of information with reference to this country and its affairs that was marvelous. DEEPLY IMPRESSED HIM It was evident that Governor Mann was deeply impressed and that he was probably delighted. It was with a hearty handshake that he lifted his visitors adieu and the party retired fabulant and satisfied over such a cordial entertainment at the hands of His Excellency. A visit was made to the Law Library, where the son of the late Sheppard Shorts was in charge. Harrister Phillips was especially interested in the part assigned for English authorities and he called for law book after law book and this colored attendant promptly gave him an answer in the affirmative and at his request readily located them on the shelves and handed them out to the distinguished Englishman who smiled and told him to return them to their places. CALLED ON THE MAYOR A visit was paid to Mayor George A. Atalne, who cordially greeted the party and Mr. Phillips engaged him in a most interesting conversation. A few moments later, the party rented the carriage and after visiting some of the retail stores arrived at the Mechanics Savings Bank much pleased with the result of their "journey." It may be well to state that Hon. John Phillips and his Secretary, Henry do Ridder, Eq. visited the First Baptist Church. Sunday morning, President Mitchell called for him at Hotel Richmond and from that point the colored meeting-house was soon ruined. The distinguished visitor was shown through the structure. The congregation was worshipping down in the lecture room on account of the repairs being made to the edifice. Rev. R. Beecher Taylor had just completed the morning's discourse. SPOKE AT THE CHURCHES Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D., the pastor introduced Mr. Mitchell, who in turn introduced the distinguished visitor. He paid a glowing tribute to the colored people and expressed his satisfaction at being able to do something to aid them through other channels. His remarks awakened much enthusiasm and a motion to accord to him a rising vote of thanks was heartily carried as the congregation rose on message in honor of the famous Englishman. A quick trip was made to the Fifth RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1912. St. Baptist Church, Roy, S. C. Manuel, D. D., the pastor invited the party to the front and, at the conclusion of the regular exercises. Bon. John Phillips was introduced by President Mitchell. Dr. Manuel called upon the entire congregation to rise as the distinguished visitor proceeded to the rostrum. CONGREGATION EXTENDED THANKS. His address was extended and it related to the commercial and economic welfare of the colored people. He commented at length upon conditions as he had seen them and he gave much encouragement to all assembled not to their hopes for the future. "At the conclusion of his remarks, Deacon Page moved that a vote of thanks he extended the speaker and it was unanimously carried. Rev. Dr. Manuel took the occasion to personally thank the speaker and to also accord to him the thanks of the congregation for his visit and for his remarks. The party retired. At night, Mr. Mitchell accompanied the party to St. Phillips Protestant Episcopal Church where Mr. Phillips and his Secretary entered heartily into the service and at its conclusion President Mitchell was requested by Rector C. L. Somers to introduce the distinguished visitor. THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH. Mr. Mitchell proceeded to do this and Hon. John Phillips gave a most instructive and interesting talk upon conditions. He is a High Church man and he enthusiastically commented his hearers on their efforts in behalf of the Mother Church. He complimented the coloured Rector and his associates upon their strict observance of the services of the Church. Later he spoke to Mr. Mitchell about Rector Somers, whom he declared performed his duty well and in view of his present services. If continued would never be the subject of a reprimand by his Bishop. He intended to carry a special message to the Bishop in England from this Church and would make its work known to the Bishop of Canterbury. It was too late to visit elsewhere and the return to Hotel Richmond was soon accomplished. Honored the President. At the regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Mechanics Savings Bank. Friday night, 6th inst., Director A. D. Price, after an appropriate address laudatory of President John Mitchell, Jr. for his tact and skill in the management of affairs during the recent "run" on the Mechanics Savings Bank presented that official with a handsome gold medal on the part of the individual members of the Board of Directors. The funds for the purchase of this handsome token were furnished by the members of the Board. President Mitchell was deeply affected by this mark of esteem and made a happy response as he accepted the same. Rev. Dr. Davia Ill. Rev. D. Webster Davis, D. D. the lecturer and humorist was strenched last Monday afternoon while on his way from Baker School. He was removed to his residence.

Editor John Mitchell is "going some" in the financial world these days. Warmest congratulations, con- fere. As president of a bank and president of our first Trust Co., he is setting such a rapid pace that he is leaving our other bankers far in the rear. See our Richmond, Va. letter, elsewhere in this paper. A Famous Victory. (Indianapolis, Ind. Freedman. John Mitchell's bank, in Richmond Va. came out all right. A little run of $3,000 was made by some who suspected something was wrong. A seemingly unlimited supply of wherewith heaved in sight, having a quieting effect on the so-called Besides this, the white men's banks of Richmond got busy and sent truck loads of pamphlets to John's relief. The offer of assistance was appreciated, but it was not needed. That's the way to do it. Give him dollar for dollar and then leave some in the strong box. It was a famous victory. Stopped the Run. There was a "run" on the Mechanics Savings Bank of Richmond, Va. recently, but instead of going into the air, President John Mitchell, Jr. went down to friendly white banks and got a cartoon of money and pled it upon his cashier's counter, with orders to pay every deportor that demanded his money. The "run" did not get far after the depositors were convinced that their money was safe in the bank. The officers of two white banks stood near Mr. Mitchell and the cartoon of money as the depositors lined up to the window. The "run" was started by a man who wanted a check cashed after bank hours; the "run" was stopped by the president of the bank who was ready to pay dollar for dollar on demand. We congratulate Mr. Mitchell. When Negro bankers and businessmen generally stand up to their obligations, as they are learning to do it, they will gain more and more the confidence of their own people and have plenty of white people to back them up in times of trouble.

DEC TG 191 PRICE, FIVE CENTS. The A. H. S. Literary Circle The Armstrong High School Literary Circle which met on November 26th was one of great interest. The author discussed was one of our own pupils and president, Miss Elizabeth A. Coles. When the Secretary, Miss Erma Holmes in her introductory remarks announced the author of the evening many of the pupils were pursed. Much credit is due Miss Coles, who with all the work and responsibilities she has upon her, takes a great interest in the work of her school. Each topic on the program was composed by her, which shows her talent as a composer. The program arranged for the evening was called: "The Thanks giving Turkey" theme, Miss Erma Caskie: "A. H. S. March," instrumental solo, Miss Annie Thomas: "The Lesson the Rose Taught to Me," vocal solo, Miss Rosa Primus: "The Value of Muscle" theme, Miss Florence Harris: "Sweetest Memories," instrumental, Miss Elizabeth Coles: "The Senior Class Attending the Fair" theme, Miss Bearice Edmunds: "The Love Career of Daniel Benton," a historical theme, Miss Nora Jackson. The themes real were written by the author during her senior year Miss Caskie most beautifully rendered her selection and Miss Annie Thomas very sweetly played the "A. H. S. March." Miss Rosa Primus, one of Armstrong's prima donas, sang as sweetly as a mocking bird. Miss Florence Harris, who is pupil teaching at Monroe School was not present. Those present regretted very much not having her number on program. Miss Harris is doing excellent work at Monroe. "Sweetest Memories," a Meditation rendered by Miss Coles is her latest composition and was very much enjoyed. Miss Nora Jackson, one of Armstrong's most excellent speakers was also about, much to the regret of the Circle. The theme rendered by Miss Edmunds was very amusing. Miss Edmunds is one of the stars of A. H. S. March. We hope that when Miss Cole leaves our school and work, that we the pupils of A. H. S. may find an equal to take her place. The Principal of our school very kindly gave Miss Cole the pleasure of arranging the program and conducting the Thanksgiving exercises, which were held on the afternoon of November 27th. --- ARRIVALLE (VA) NEWS Farmville, Va., December 9.

All her mishap she owes to D'Artagnan without doubt. From whom can come so many disgraces heaped upon her head if not from him? He knows her brother in law; he must have written to him. The first moments of her captivity were terrible. But by degrees she overcame the outbursts of her mad passion. "Why, I must have been mad to allow myself to be carried away so" says she. "It is with men that my struggle is, and I am but a woman for them. Let us struggle like a woman, then; my strength is in my weakness." Then she made her face like all expressions, from that of passionate anger, which consulted her features, to that of the most sweet, most affectionate and most seducing smile. A light appeared under the door. This light announced the remembrance of her fellers. Milady, who had arisen, throw herself quickly into the armchair, her head thrown back, her beautiful hair unbound and disheveled. The boots were drawn, the door groaned upon its hinges, steps sounded in the chamber and drew near. At length Felton, who had not looked at milady, turned toward her. "Ah, ah!" said he. "She is unconscious. Go and tell Lord de Winter that his prisoner hasainted." The soldier went out to obey the orders of his officer. Felton sat down upon the armchair, which was by chance near the door, and waited without speaking a word, without making a gesture. Milady perceived Felton who sat with his back toward her. She opened her eyes and sighed deeply. At this sign Felton turned round. "Ah, you have awakened again, madame!" he said. "Then I have nothing more to do here. If you want anything you can ring." "Oh, how I have suffered!" said milady. Felton rose. "You will be served thus, madame, three times a day," said he. "in the morning at 0 o'clock, in the day at 1 o'clock and in the evening at 8. If that does not wait you can point out what other hours you prefer." "But am I to remain always alone?" "A woman of the neighborhood has been sent for." "I thank you, sir," replied the prisoner humbly. Felton made a slight toow and directed his steps toward the door. At the moment he was about to go out Lord de Winter appeared. "Well, what's going on here?" said he in a jeering voice. "This dead woman come to life again already?" Felton, my lady, did not perceive that the first act was being performed of a comedy. Has she not yet reduced you, you heart of stone? "No, my boy!" replied the impassible young man. Lord de Winter passed his arm through that of Felton and led him out, laughing. "I am lost!" murmured she when they were gone. "I am lost! I am in the power of men upon whom I can have no more influence than upon status of bronze or granite. It is, however, impossible that this should end as they have decreed." Milady sat down to table, ate of several dishes, drank a little wine and felt all her production return. She believed Felton was, everything considered, the more vulnerable of her two persecutors. In the morning, when they entered milady's chamber, she was still in bed, although she had slept well. Felton remained in the corridor. He brought with him the woman of whom he had P. BACON spoken the evening before and who had just arrived. This woman entered and, approaching milady's bed, offered her services. "I am in a fever," said milady. "I have not slept a single instant during "Would you like to have a physician sent for?" said the woman: "Go and fetch a physician," said miliady. "What could be the good of that?" These gentlemen declared yesterday that my illness was a comedy. "Go and fetch Lord de Winter," said Felton. "Oh, no, no!" cried miliady. "I am well. I want nothing. Do not call him." She gave so much vehemence, such prevailing eloquence to this exclamation, that Felton in spite of himself advanced some steps into the room. "He is come," thought miliady. She turned her beautiful head round upon her pillow, she burst into tears and uttered heartbreaking sobs. Felton surveyed her for an instant with his usual impossibility; then, seeing that the crisis threatened to be prolonged, he went out. The woman followed him, and Lord de Winter did not appear. "I fancy I begin to see my way," murmured miliady. Two hours passed away "Now it is time that the maidy should be over," said she. In the morning when the woman and Felton came they had brought her breakfast. Now she thought they could not be long before they came to clear the table and that Felton would then come back. Felton remained behind. He held a book in his hand. Milady reclined in an armchair near the chimney, beautiful, pale and resigned. Felton approached her and said: "Lord de Winter, who is a Catholic as well as yourself, madame, has consented that you should read every day the ordinary of your mass, and here is a book which contains the ritual of it." Milady raised her head and looked more attentively at the officer. He was a Puritan. She had one of those sudden inspirations which people of genius alone have in great crises. This reply, ready arranged, presented itself to her lips: "I'll said she, with an accent of disdain. "I, air; my mass. Lord de Winter knows very well that I am not of his religion, and this is a snare he wishes to buy for me" "And of what religion are you, then, madame? asked Felton, astonished. "I will tell it," it cried mildly, with a feigned exultation, "on the day when I shall have suffered sufficiently for my faith: I am in the hands of mine enemies," continued she. "Well, let my God give me or let me perish for my God. That is the reply I beg you to make to Lord the Winter. And as to this book, you may carry it back and make use of it yourself." Felton made no reply, took the book and retired pensively. Lord the Winter came toward 5 o'clock in the evening. "It appears," said the baron, "we have made a little apostasy." "Explain yourself, my lord," replied the prisoner. "Then you have no religion at all. I like that best," replied Lord do Winter, laughing. "Oh, you need not not your religious indifference, my lord! Your debucheries and crimes would gain credit for it." "What! You talk of debaucheries! Either I misunderstand you or you are pretty impudent!" "You only speak thus because you know you are listened to, air," coldly replied mildly, "and you wish to interest your jailers and your hangmen against me." "In eight days you will be where you ought to, and my task will be completed," said De Winter. "Infamous task! Impulsive task!" cried mildly, with the exultation of a victim proclaiming the judge. "Come, come, calm yourself, Mme Puritan, or I will remove you to a dungeon." And Lord de Winter retired. Felton was behind the door and had not lost one word of this acuse. Milady had guessed as much. Silence was re-established, two hours passed away, milady's supper was brought in, and she was found deeply engaged in saying her prayers aloud, prayers which she had learnt of an old servant of her second husband, a most austere Puritan. Felton made a sign that she should not be disturbed. Milady knew she might be watched, so she continued her prayers to the end. Then with her pure, harmonious and powerful voice, she began the psalm then in greatest favor with the Puritans: "Thou leavest thy servants, Lord, To see if they be strong. But soon thou dost afford Thy hand to conduct them along. But the day of our liberation Will come, just and powerful Fire! And if it cheat our expectation To death and martyrdom we can still aspire. This verse, into which the terrible enchantress throw her whole soul, com- pleted the trouble which had seized the heart of the young officer. He opened the door quickly, and milady saw him appear, pale as usual, but with his eyes infamed. "Why do you sing thus and with such a voice?" said he. "I crave your pardon, sir," said my lady with mildness. "I forgot that my songs are out of place in this mansion." "Yes, yes," said he; "you disturb- you agitate the people who inhabit the castle." And the poor, senseless young man was not aware of the incoherence of his words, while milady was reading with her lynx' eyes the very depths of his heart. "I will be silent then," said miady, casting down her eyes. "No, no, madame," said Felton; "only do not sing so loudly, particularly at night." And at these words Felton, feeling that he could not long maintain his severity toward his prisoner, rushed out of the room. ```markdown ``` FELTON had fallen, but still more must be done. He must be made to speak in order that he might be spoken to, for milady very well knew that her greatest seduction was in her voice. With Lord Lord Winter her plan of conduct was more easy. To remain silent and dignified in his presence, from time to time by a contemptuous word to provoke him to threats and violence which would produce a contrast with her own resignation—such was her plan. In the morning Felton came as usual, but milady allowed him to preside over all the preparations for the breakfast without addressing a word to him. At the moment he was about to retire, she saw him make a powerful effort over himself. He sent back to his heart the words that were about to escape from his lips and went out. Toward midday Lord Lord Winter came to her apartment. Milady was looking out at the window and pretended not to hear the door as it opened. "I understand," said he, "you would like very well to be at liberty on that bench! Patience, patience! In four days' time the shure will be, beneath your foot; the sea will be open to you." Milindy joined her hands and, raising her fine eyes toward heaven— "Lord, Lord," said she, with an angelic meekness of gesture and tone, "pardon this man, as I myself pardon him!" "Yes, pray accured woman!" cried the baron. "Your prayer is so much the more generous from your being. I swear to you, in the power of a man who will never pardon you!" At the moment he went out a piercing glance darted through the opening of the nearly closed door, and she perceived Felton, who drew quickly on one side to prevent being seen by her. Then she throw herself upon her knees and began to pray. The door opened gently. The beautiful supplicant pretended not to bear the noise, and, in a voice broken by tears she said: "God of vengeance, God of goodness; Will you allow the frightful projects of this man to be accomplished?" "I do not like to disturb those who pray, madness," said Felton seriously. "Do not disturb yourself on my account, I beseech you. Repentance becomes the guilt." "Gulty! I?" said milady. "Say I am condemned, sir, if you please, but you know that God, who loves martyrs, sometimes permits the innocent to be condemned." "Were you a martyr," replied Felton. "the greater would be the necessity for prayer." "Oh, you are a just man!" cried milady, throwing herself on her knees at his feet. "I can hold out no longer, for I fear I shall be wandering in strength in the moment at which I shall be forced to undergo the struggle and confess my faith. I only ask you one favor, and if you grant it me I will bless you in this world and in the next." "Speak to the master, madame," said Pelton; "happily I am neither charged with the power of pardoning nor punishing. If you have metted, shame, madame, you must submit to it as an offering to God." "When I speak of ignominy you think I speak of some punishment or other — of imprisonment or death. Would to heaven it were no more!" "It is I who no longer understand you, madame." "What! You are ignorant of Lord do Winter's designs upon me?" "I am unacquainted with them." "Why, then," cried mindly with an incredible tone of truthfulness—"why, then, you are not his accomplice. You do not know that he destines me to disgrace?" "You are deceived, madame," said Felton, blushing. "Lord de Winter is not capable of such a crime." "Good," said mindly to herself. "Without knowing what it is he calls it a crime!" Then aloud: "The friend of the infamous is capable of everything." "You mean George Villiers?" said Felton, whose looks became agitated. "Whom Pagans and indulgent gentiles call Duke of Buckingham," replied milady. "The hand of the Lord is stretched over him," said Felton. "He will not escape the chastisement he deserves." Felton did but express, with regard to the duke, the feeling of excretion which all the English had vowed to the duke. "Do you know him, then?" continued Felton. "Oh, know him—yes, to my misfortune—to my eternal misfortune!" And miliy wring her hands. "Sir," cried she, "the kind, be clement. Listen to my prayer. Give me a knife for a minute only, for mercy, for pity's sake! I will restore it to you through the graining of the door." "To kill yourself!" cried Felton, with terror. Some one was heard in the corridor. Milady recognized the step of Lord de Winter. Felton recognized it also and made a step toward the door. Milady sprang toward him. "Oh, not a word," said she in a concentrated voice. "not a word of all that I have said to you to this man or I am host, and it would be you—" Felton gently pushed milady from him and left. Lord de Winter passed before the door without stopping, and the sound of his footsteps soon died away in the distance. "If he tells the baron," said she, "I am lost, for the baron, who knows very well that I shall not kill myself, will place me before him with a knife in my hand, and he will discover that all this despair is but played." In the evening Lord de Winter accompanied the sopper. "Bhr," said, mildly, "is your presence an indispensable accessory of my captivity? Could you not spare me the increase of tortures which your wits inflict upon me?" "How, my dear sister?" said Lord Go When. Did not you know me that you came to England solely for the pleasure of me吗 me? I want to show you the kind of paupst which I have drawn up and which will serve you beforward as an order in the life I consent to leave to you." Then, turning his eyes from mildly to a paper which he held in his hand, he read: "Order to conduct to —' The name is blank." interrupted Lord de Winter. "If you have any preference you can point it out to me, and if it be not within a thousand leagues of London attention will be paid to your wishes. I will begin again then: Order to conduct to —' the person named Charlotte Backon, branded by the justice of the kingdom of France, but librated after chastisement. She is to dwell in this place, without ever going more than three leagues from it. In case of any attempt to escape the penalty of death is to be applied. She will receive 5 shillings per day for lodging and food." "That order does not concern me," replied milady coldly, "since it bears another name than mine." "A name! Have you a name, then?" "I bear that of your brother," cried milady. "Ay, but you" are mistaken. My brother is only your second husband, and your first is still living. Tell me his name and I will put it in the place of the name of Charlotte Backson. Tomorrow this order will be sent to the Duke of Buckingham. After tomorrow it will return signed by his hand and marked with his seal, and four and twenty hours afterward I will answer for its being carried into execution. Adieu, madame. That is all I had to say to you. Tomorrow I will come and announce to you the departure of my messenger." Milady breathed again. She had still four days before her to complete the seduction of Felton. A terrible idea, however, rushed into her mind. She thought that Lord de Winter would perhaps send Felton himself to get the order signed by the Duke of Buckingham. Nevertheless, one circumstance reassured her—Felton had not spoken. Soon after she heard lighter steps than those of the sentinel, which came from the bottom of the corridor and stopped before her door. "That is he." said she. And she began the same religious chant which had so strongly-excited Felton the evening before. But, although her voice, sweet, full and sonorous, vibrated as harmoniously and as affectingly as ever, the door remained shut. It appeared, however, to mildly that in one of the furtive glances she darted from time to time at the grating of the door she thought she saw the silent eyes of the young man through the narrow opening. But he did not enter. "What is this, undame?" he asked, withing that whimful expression which D. "What's this, madame?" he asked coldly. she knew so well how to give to her smile. "I amused myself with twisting that rope." Over her head he perceived a gift headed screw fixed in the wall for the purpose of hanging up clothes or arms. "What were you doing standing in that chiffre" asked he. "Do not question me," said the prisoner. "You know that we true Christians are forbidden to speak falsely. When God sees one of his creatures persecuted unjustly, placed between suicide and disloyance, believe me, sir, God pardons suicide." Milady rose and stepped toward him, saying out with a rehearsal air: "Let his victim to Baal be sent." "Who art thou, who art thou?" cried he, chasing his hands. "Art thou a messenger from God, art thou a minister from hell, art thou an angel or a demon?" "Do you not know me, Felton? I am neither an angel nor a demon. I am a daughter of earth; I am a sister of thy faith." "Yes, yes," said Felton. "I doubted, but now I believe." "You believe and still you are am go comparison of that child of Haiti, who is called Lord de Winter! You believe and yet you deliver me into the hands of my omission, of the economy of England, of the economy of God! "I deliver you up to Bootstammham!" "They have owed," crimed mildly, "and they will not see; they have care and they will not hear." "Yes, you!" said Felton, passing his hands over his brow, covered with sweat, as if to remove his last dent. "Yes, I recognize the features of the angel that appears to me every night, crying to my soul which cannot sleep, 'Strike, save England, save yourself'." A flash of terrible joy, but rapid as thought, gleamed from the eyes of miliy. Felton saw it and started as if its light had revealed the abysses of this woman's heart. He recalled all at once the warnings of Lord de Winter; but, as if fascinated by this strange creature, he could not remove his eyes from her eyes. Miliy was not a woman to misunderstand the meaning of this hesitation. Before Felton replied she let her hands fall and as if the weakness of the woman overpowered the enthusiasm of the inspired fanatic—"But no," said she. "The sword of the woman is too heavy for my arm. Allow me then to avoid dishonor by death; let me take refuge in martyrdom. I implore you on my knees—let me die." At hearing that voice, so sweet and suppliant, at viewing that look, so timid and downcast, Felton reproached himself. "Alas," said Felton, "I can do but one thing which is to pity you if you prove to me you are a victim! But you, madame, so beautiful in reality, you so pure in appearance, must have committed great iniquities for Lord de Winter to pursue you thus." "They have eyes," repeated milady, with an accent of indescribable grief, "and they will not see; they have earn and they will not hear." "But," cried the young officer, "speak—speak then." "Conde me my shame to you," cried milady, with the blush of modesty upon her countenance. "Oh never, never, never." "But to me, to a brother?" said Felton. The young officer, in his turn a suppliant, clapped his hands. "Well, then," said misily, "I confide in my brother. I will dare to"— In my brother, I will dare to— At this moment the steps of Lord de Winter were heard, but this time the terrible brother-in-law of milady did not content himself, as on the preceding day, with passing before the door and going again. He stopped, exchanged two words with the sentinel, then the door opened and he appeared. During these two words Felton drew back suddenly, and when Lord de Winter entered he was at several paces from the prisoner. "You have been a long time here, John, and Do Winter. "Has this woman been relating her crimes to you? In that case I can comprehend the length of the conversation." "Ah, you fear your prisoner should escape!" said she. "Well, ask your worthy jailer what favor I was but this instant soliciting of him." "What favor, pray?" asked Lord de Winter. "A knife, which she would return to me through the grating of the door a minute after she had received it," replied Felton. "There is some one then concealed here whose throat this amitable lady is desirous of cutting," said Dw Winter. "There is myself," replied miliady. Felton felt a shudder run to the marrow of his bones. Probably Lord de Winter perceived this emotion. "Mistrust yourself, John," said he. "I have placed reliance upon you, my friend. Beware; I have warned you. But be of good courage, my lad. In three days we shall be delivered from this creature, and where I shall send her to she can hurt nobody." The haron took the young officer by the arm, turning his head over his shoulder as not to lose sight of miilty till he was gone out. Milndy waited then with much impatience, for she feared the day would pass away without her seeing Felton again. But in an hour she heard some one enter. "What do you want with me?" said abe. "Listen," replied Felton in a low voice: "I have just sent away the sentinel. The baron-has just related a frightful history to me." Milady assumed her smile of a resigned victim and shook her head. "Either you are a demon," continued Felton, "or the baron, my bonefactor, my father, is a monster. Tonight after 12 I will come and see and listen to you, and you will convince me." "No, Felton, no, my brother; the sacrifice is too great, and I feel what it must cost you. No, I am lost. Do not be lost with me." "Be silent, madame," cried Felton, "and do not speak to me thus. If when you have seen me you still persist-well, then you shall be free, and I myself will give you the weapon you desire." "Well," said milady, "for your sake I will wait." He darted out of the room. As for her, she returned to her place with a pail of savage contempt upon her lips. CHAPTER XXXIX. The Fifth Day of Captivity. MILADY, being well prepared for the reception of Felton, was able to erect her batteries for the next day. She MILADY, being well prepared for the reception of Felten, was able to erect her battles for the next day. She knew she had only two days left. She should certainly return from her exile; she did not doubt that a single fortune, but how long might this write last? To lose a year, two years, three years, is to talk of an eternity; to return after the death or disgrace of the cardinal, perhaps; to return when D'Artagnan and his friends, happy and triumphant, should have received from the queen. the reward they had well acquired by the services they had rendered her: As 8 p'clock Lord do Winter made his customary visit and examined the window and the barn. "Well, and be on leaving ten, 'you will not escape this night'." At the expiration of ten minutes Felton came. "Listen," said the young man to the sentinel. "On no pretense leave the door. I am going to pay a second visit to this woman, who, I fear, entertains minister, intentions upon her own life, and I have received orders to watch her. If I call come in. If any one comes call me." Felton entered milady's apartment. Milady arose. "I promised you I would come," said Felton, "and I am come." "You promised to bring a knife and to leave it with me after our conversation, I can have nothing to say to a man who does not keep his word. You may retraite. I shall not speak." "Here is the knife," said Felton, drawing it from his pocket. "Let me see it," said milady. "Upon my honor I will instantly return it to you. You shall place it on that table, and you may remain between it and me." Felton held the weapon to milady. "Well," said she, returning the knife to the young officer, "this is fine and good steel. You are a faithful Friend. Felton, if your sister, the daughter of your father, said to you: "Still young, unfortunately handsome, I was dragged into an snare. I resisted. The religion I serve, the God I adore, were blasphemed because I called upon that religion and that God, I resisted. Then outrages' were beheaded upon me, and as my soul was not subdued it was determined to defile my body forever. "One evening my enemy resolved to paralyze the resistance he could not conquer. One evening he met a powerful narcotic with my water. Scarcely had I finished my repeat when I felt myself sink by degrees into a strange torpor. I arose. I endeavored to run to the window and call for help, but my limbs refused their office. I endeavored to speak. I could only utter inarticulate sounds, and irresistible faintness came over me. I supported myself by a chair, feeling that I was about to fall, but this support was soon useless for my weak arms. I sank down upon the floor, a prey to a sleep which resembled death. "I awoke in bed in a round chamber, the furniture of which was sumptuous and into which light only penetrated by an opening in the ceiling. No door gave entrance to the room. It might be called a magnificent prison. "I arose tremblingly. My clothes were near me on a chair. I neither remembered having undressed myself nor going to bed. I was no longer in the house I had dwelt in. The day was already two-thirds gone. It was the evening before that I had fallen asleep. My sleep, then, must have lasted twenty-four hours. "I dressed myself as quickly as possible; my slow and stiff motions all attested that the effects of the narcotic were not all yet digested. The chamber was evidently furnished for the reception of a woman. "I made the tour of the room at least twenty times in search of an outlet of some kind. There was none. I sank exhausted with fatigue and terror into a chair. In the meantime night came on rapidly, and with night my terrors increased. Although I had eaten nothing since the evening before, my fears prevented my feeling hunger. "All at once the noise of a door turning on its hinges made me start. A globe of fire appeared above the glazed opening of the ceiling, casting a strong light into my chamber, and I perceived with terror that a man was standing within a few paces of me. "A table with two covers bearing a supper ready prepared stood as if by magic in the middle of the apartment. "That man was he who had parured me during a whole year, who had vowed my dishonor. He came to offer his fortune in exchange for my love." "Infamous villain!" murmured Felton. "All that the heart of a woman could contain of haughty contempt and disdainful words I poured out upon this man. When he thought I had said all he advanced toward me. I sprang toward the table. I seized a knife, I placed it to my breast. "Make one step more," said I, 'and in addition to my dishonor you shall have my death to reproach yourself with' "Your death said he. 'Oh, no; you are too charming a mistress to allow me to consent, to lose you thus. Adlen, my charmer. I will wait to pay you my next visit till you are in a better humor." "At these, words he blew a whistle. The globe of fire which lighted the room rescended and disappeared. I round myself again alone and in complete darkness. "The night passed away without any fresh attempt on the part of my persecutor. Day came. The table had disappeared, only I had still the knife in my hand. "I was worn out with fatigue. Want of sleep insamed my eyes. I had not ventured to sleep a single instant. The light of day measured me. I went and threw myself on the bed without parting with the liberator knife, which I concealed under my pillow. "When I awoke a fresh table was served." "This time in spite of my terrors, in spite of my agony, I began to feel a devouring hunger. It was forty-eight hours since I had taken any mountaintment. I ate some bread and some fruit; then, remembering the narcotic mixed with the water I had drank, I would not touch that which was placed on the table, but filled my gins at a marble fountain fixed in the wall. "The evening came on and with it darkness. But however produced was this darkness, my eyes began to be accustomed to it. I saw the table vink through the door. A quarter of an hour after it reappeared bearing my supper, and as it leapt, thanks to the lamp, my chamber was once more = SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1912, ——— Nghted.~ * “I wan determined to.eat only sach odjecta na coulkt pot possibly hare anything soporiiic Introduced Into them, | drew another glass of water. . “After swallowing a mouthful of two It appeared to me not to have the game taxte that It bad in the morning.

Mr. Latdiaw explained that he bad mentioned the case of Dorothy Ar nold's disappearance as an lluatra- ton of what he buleved to be a fact that white slavery might come homo to any faray' In New York, ho matter what Its financial or social position. He said that be had known the Ar- nolds for many yeara atid was some what familiar with thelr efforts to fod Mins Arnold, although ho was not ‘speaking In any way by authority of the Arnold family.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1912. THE GOVERNORS ON RECORD That Gov. Cole L. Blease of South Carolina has outlawed himself and made himself appear ridiculous in the eyes of the civilized world hardly admits of a question. That he disgraced the State he represents and reflected sadly upon the intelligence of the electorate that elevated him to office is equally apparent. When he championed lynching and thereby countenanced the most insultious method for the breaking down of the institutions which he is sworn to support, he brought down upon himself the execration and contempt of all law-abiding citizens. When he was naked about the oath to uphold the laws, and which oath, he had solemnly taken before he could enter upon the duties of his office, he in effect declared that he would violate his oath. This placed him in the category of dishonorable men and these officials, some of whom were staid jurists were not disposed to associate with him. Gov. Emmot O'Neal of Alabama was not slow to realize the embarrassing position in which the Governor of South Carolina had endeavored to place the Southern members of the Conference and he offered a resolution against lynching, which was followed, by a timely substitute offered by Gov. William Hodges Mann of Virginia. The resolution was as follows: "Resolved, That it is the sentiment of the Governors' Conference, in session at Richmond, Va., December 6th, 1912, that the whole power of the several states should be used whenever necessary to protect persons accused of crime of every kind against the violence of mobs and to provide for speedy, orderly and impartial trials by courts of competent jurisdiction, to the end that the laws for the protection of life and property be duly enforced and respected by the people." This then puts the Governors on record and is in the nature of a rebuke to South Carolina's Chief Executive. It is indeed gratifying to every lover of justice to note the type of statesmen that the Democratic managers of the Southland are elevating to high offices. It is to this class of men that the colored people are now making their appeals and are supporting their support. Many are doing it at the polls. while others by words of truth and wisdom are doing much to clarify the situation to the end that the better class of white people and the better class of colored people may clasp a glad hand and work shoulder to shoulder for the industrial and financial prosperity of this great country of ours. Gov. Mann has many critics, but he possesses a kind of wisdom which has tended to elevate him not only in the estimation of the people of this commonwealth, but in the good opinion of the citizens of this great nation as well. $100.00 Endowment Paid.

Mrs. Goetel was taken seriously till in August this year, while on her yacht Nahima, at Southampton, and her alliment was diagnosed as cancer. Mrs. Goetel immediately left for France to undergo treatment. Reports as to her condition since her arrival in Paris had been so favorable that her death was unexpected. The body will be sent to America for burial. Tried to Cremate Old Man. The Siegfriedsville scouten, near Herwick, Pa., which starred the country twenty-eight years ago with the grewsome Kester brothers' murder, and where seven years ago, Thomas Miller was murdered, his home destroyed and the body carried aways, has furnished another crime that for feudishness ranks with the others. The third, however, was unsuccessful. Joseph Dench, an eighth-year-old bachelor, tenants a small shack near the scene of the Kester murders, in a secluded district beyond the Nosco-pock mountains. He had been in bed only a few hours the other night when he was awakened, presumably by the fumes of burning oil, with the flames already eating in from the outside. He was able to put out the fire and found that his home had been surrounded with pine wood saturated with oil. His timely discovery alone made it possible to learn of the attempted crime, as the attempt on his life would have passed as an accident. Theological Student Held For Murder. First degree murder was charged against Marshall Copeland, a theological student in Morrisville college, in a warrant issued in Springfield, Mo. Copeland, it is alleged, fatally stabbed Bryan Crane, an other student, last Saturday, following a hazing of which Copeland was the victim. Crane, aged sixteen years, died in a hospital on Tuesday night. Copeland is twenty six years old and has a wife and one child. Four-Year-Old Boy Stain by Chum. George Button, a four-year-old boy, fatally shot Ray Adams, the same age, at Mills, Pa. The Adams boy aimed a popgun at his companion, who in turn fired a revolver which had been left on a table in the room where they were playing. The bullet entered the Adams boy's mouth and passed through the lower part of his skull. Open Fireplace Fatal to Child. The little three-year-old daughter of Robert Stone, of Sketrock, near Cape Charles, Va., was burned to death while standing about the fire in an old-fashioned fireplace. The blaze from the wood sticks caught her clothing and she was enveloped in flames and almost burned to a crisp before being discovered. Gas Kills Dominican Leader Don Jose Thomas Ramirez, chief of staff to President Victorio, of Santo Domingo, who came to New York for treatment for two bullet wounds, was found dead from gas asphyxiation in his hotel. Death is believed to have been accidental. Horse Prices Break Records." Horses are bringing unusually high prices at present in Ephratn. Pa.

At the formal opening of the Progressive party's national conference in Chicago Colonel Roosevelt repeated and emphasised his criticism of the act of the supreme court of Idaho in ruling Progressive electors from the ballot in the November election. Not to criticise the decision, for which several Boise editors, who quoted the colonel's original strictures, have been cited for contempt, would have been cowardly, the colonel asserted. Roosevelt himself may be cited for contempt if he enters Idaho. "The Boise Capital News," said Colonel Roosevelt, "was the only paper that had the courage to criticise the decision. I hold that it would have been cowardly not to have criticised such an outrageous decree. The sovereast criticism the papers contained, however, was in a telegram from me. "I did not make it half strong enough; it was much worse than the ordinary bad decision. I hold that the decision was outrageous and it was the duty of every honest citizen to protest against it and denounce it in the strongest terms. "Now the court has cited Publisher Sheridan and other editors for contempt. The court has it within its power, by inflicting a sufficiently heavy fine, to ruin the only paper, in Idaho with the strength to hold out against it. "I advocate that the Progressive party pay any fine that may be inflicted, and that we send the best lawyers obtainable to Idaho to fight the case and to give it the widest publicity. The action of the Idaho court is not only against the people of Idaho, but against the whole citizenship of the United States, and the people should use every effort to combat the outrage. "It is to prevent just such outrageous decrees that the Progressive party advocates the recall of judicial decisions." Roosevelt finished his address amid tumultuous cheers, in the midst of which arose the cry: "Let's hear from Idaho." In response J. H. Gibson, of Cald well, Idaho, brought further cheering when he said: "The supreme court of Idaho, in stead of being in position to cite editors for contempt should be wearing stripes." William Allen White, of Kansas, the next speaker, adhered to the theme of court criticism with respect to the defeat for governor of Kansas of Arthur Capper, who lost by twenty-nine votes. He declared there were 5000 votes cast which never were counted, but that despite this "the Kansas court declined to permit a recount." "You will be cited for contempt," cried some one in the audience. "That's all right," answered the speaker; "I always said that the fun of a jack rabbit should be substituted for theermine." Roosevelt's attack on the court came in the course of a long address with which he opened the national conference. In it he declared the new party had come to stay and did not contemplate making terms with the Republican party. The colonel early digressed from his set address to thank those who had contributed to the campaign fund. To give emphasis to this, Roosevelt walked to the front of the platform and pointed to William Flinn, George W. Perkins, Frank A. Munsey and C. S. Bird. Calling each by name, he continued: "I not only want to thank you, but to say that I have been happy to be associated with you. I want to say that there have been no more disinterested Progressives than yourselves. Nobody will ever have to investigate me to learn that I knew of these contributions and was very much obliged for them." PARENTS BLIND THEIR CHILD Gouged Out Its Eyes to Make It More Pitiful as a Beggar. A man and wife, living in the village of Gave, in the province of Catalonia, France, were caught in the act of gouging out the eyes of their five year-old child, with the object of making it more pliable and thus able to obtain as a beggar more sympathy from the public. The other inhabitants of the village were attracted by the child's screams and when they arrived on the scene found that it had already been illnited and otherwise mutilated. Killed by Blast In Pottsville Mine. Charles Schamus, aged twenty-two was killed and William Barton was probably finally injured by a prema ture blast at the St. Nicholas colliery near Pottsville, Pa. OBSTINACY There is something in obstinacy which differs from every other human passion. Whenever it fails it never recovers, but either breaks like iron or crumbles suddenly away like a fractured arch. Most other passions have their period of fatigue and rest, their sufferings and their cure, but obstinacy has no resource, and the first wound is mortal—Johnson. [Image of a silhouette of a man's head and shoulders, with no facial features or clothing details]. New York, Dec. 11—"Bridgey" Webber, one of the four informers in the Becker murder trial, returned with his wife from a trip to Havana with the amazing statement that there was no plot to kill Herman Rosenthal, so far as he knows. Webber persisted in this statement in the face of reminders that he had testified differently as a witness in the Becker trial and the trial of the four gunmen. Webber is bitter against his fellow informers—Iosee, Vallon and Schepps—particularly Schepps. He says he never would have confessed and had just paid Max G. Steuer, a lawyer $10,000 for a defense when he hear Jack Rose had confessed. Then he "got in line." No mention of killing Herman Rosenthal was ever made to him, Webber declared, but he had talked with Rose about buying Rosenthal off or of scaring him out of town. The gunmen, according to Webber, were employed to "throw a scarce into Rosenthal," and two of them got drunk and killed him instead. Webber's sensational statement that he knew of no plot to kill Rosenthal was outlined to Assistant District Attorney Moss, who conducted the prosecution in the Becker and the gunmen cases. Moss was surprised and said: "This is the first time I ever heard such a story. During the preparation of the trials Webber never said there was no murder plot. On the contrary, he repeated to me the story he subsequently told on the stand. I understand Webber wants to live in New York. Perhaps he is trying to make his stay here more peaceful by placating the friends of the men convicted of the murder of Roenthal." GIRL DIES OF ATTACK Louella Marshall, Who Was Waylaid by Man, Succumbs to Injuries. Miss Louella Marshall, the young woman who was attacked and beaten by a negro on the Pennington road last week, died in the hospital in Trenton, N. J. The young woman has been in a serious condition ever since she was found nearly unconscious on the night of the attack. She never recovered consciousness fully enough to tell more than that she had been attacked by a colored man. Charles Ramsey, aged twenty-one, colored, is under arrest in Rahway, suspected of attacking Miss Marshall, as the result of which she died. Ramsey was arrested for stealing a ride on the railroad, and in his sleep in the station house twice mentioned the name of the woman, and when aroused asked: "How long a sentence will I get for the deed?" Care of the Eyes On rising in the morning the eye should be bathed gently in cold water. Twenty passes are said to be decidedly strengthening. While using them closely they should be rested at intervals of an hour or two, for the strain of constant reading, etc., is like that of extending the arms at a certain height immovably. Imagine, then, the taxing of the eyes, which cannot complain save after years of irreparable neglect. When dust settles in the eyes warm water will soothe them of any inflammation.—Exchange. *Foorpade Get $29,100* Joseph Merochnick, a diamond importer, of New York city, was robbed of unset diamonds valued at $27,500 and $1600 in currency in Chicago by two nexroes, according to the report that was made to the police.

"Andrew Carnegie tells a tale about taking a German financier traveling in America on a visit to Niagara falls. The millionaire, accustomed to outbursts of wonderment and enthusiasm, was not a little astonished to see his Teutonic friend stand and gaze stolidly minute after minute upon that roaring cataract without evincing the faintest emotion. Finally, unable, as he admits, any longer to conceal his chagrin and disappointment, Mr. Carnegie turned to his companion and asked: "Don't you think that's a wonderful sight?"

WYATT, Cashier. New York Clearing House Official Explains That High Call Rates Are to Get Money Needed For Speculation. The first testimony regarding "concentration of credit" was heard by the house banking and currency committee in its investigation of the so-called money trust in Washington. OF RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. W. E. Frew, president of the Corn Exchange bank, of New York, and chairman of the New York clearing house committee, occupied the stand and was put through a grilling examination by Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the committee. Through Mr. Frew Mr. Untermyer put into the record evidence of trust agreements by which five men control two of New York's greatest financial institutions, the Bankers' Trust company and the Guarantee Trust company, with aggregate deposits of nearly $400,000,000. The Bankers', Trust company, Mr. Frew said, was controlled by H. P. Davison, George B. Case and Daniel G. Reid; the Guarantee company by H. P. Davison, George F. Baker and William Porter. These men hold and vote all of the stock of the companies except enough to allow a board of directors to quality, and under the trust agreements have absolute authority over the affairs of the companies, even in the acquisition or merger of other institu THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VICTORIA.

The sky is overcast, and the overall tone of the image is dark and muted. THOMAS M. CRUMP, Secretary. Mr. Untermyer also secured from Mr. Frew a description of the method by which money was attracted to New York when small-country merchants and farmers demand funds for the moving, of crops or the accommodation of their business affairs. Mr. Frew said that the money was needed on the New York stock exchange for speculative purposes; that country banks kept large sums on deposit in New York, and that when the "home" demand for money became strong the New York price of money rose, and the country banks, in order to gain the big interest-charges, put their money out in call loans on the New York-stock exchange. All of these loans are based on stock exchange collateral. Mr. Untermyer elicited from the witness. When Mr. Untermyer endeavored to attribute the enormous growth of the Bankers' Trust company to the influence of J. P. Morgan & Co. Mr. Prew objected, and the lawyer grew bitter. He finally pinned the witness down to the admission that the "Morgan influence" might have aided the company. JOHN MITCHELL, JR., President, Mr. Untermyer connected up Messrs. Davison, Case and Porter with the Morgan company. Mr. Untermyer questioned Mr. Frew rather sharply as to how he classified the cost of collecting, out-of-town checks. Mr. Frew said it was a "loss," but the lawyer insisted upon calling it an "expense." "What you want to do is to make the customer pay the expense of conducting your business, after he has given you the use of his money." Mr. Untermyer observed. "The Morgan influence" formed the basis for most of the day's session. Mr. Fetermyer first took up the Bankers' Trust company. Mr. Frew said its management was held by a trust committee, composed of H. P. Davison, George R. Case and Daniel G. Reid. Mr. Davison is associated with J. P. Morgan & Co., and Mr. Reid is a director in the United States Steel corporation. Mr. Frew said the three men administered the affairs of the company, elected its board of directors and controlled its operations. Rock do not grow in the sense that a plant grows.
