RICHMOND PLANET Colored Business Enterprises. I have shown how the Richmond Beneficial Insurance Company under the skill and management of the new corp of officers rallied despite the withdrawal of the able President and founder. I have cited the efforts of John T. Taylor, J. J. Carter, St. James Gilpin and E. F. Johnson, who succeeded in snatching success from out of these grievous conditions and finally built one of the finest structures as yet erected in this city. A REMARKABLEACHIEVEMENT It may be of interest now to show the still more remarkable achievement of this leader and pupil orator W. F. Graham. Virtually dispossessed of his office and holdings in the Richmond Beneficial and Insurance Co., and from his standpoint of view overwhelmed by insurgency, he called about him his friends and launched the American Beneficial Insurance Company, raising on short notice a capital which has not been equalled up to this time. Rev. H. Powell, D. D., was among his staunch supporters as was also A. Humbles of Lynchburg, Va. ENERGETIC HELPERS. He had with him B. H. Peyton as Secretary and General Manager and on his judgment and efforts, together with that of R. H. Fauntleroy and others he built his hopes and achieved success. It may be well to mention John W. Howard, R. W. Anderson B. T. Coleman and others. The membership increased rapidly and finally 613 N. Second St. was purchased and remodelled. The new company almost immediately took its place with its other competitors and has since maintained its position among the colored insurance companies of this city. WILL ERECT HOME OFFICE. This company is now considering plans for the erection of a new home office on the present site. Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham who is now a resident of Philadelphia, having removed from this city continues as President and the outlook for the continuation of the past prosperous conditions is bright. JOHN MITCHELL, JR.

Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God to call from labor to reward Sir H. F. Jonathan* who has honestly and faithfully served the Grand Lodge of Virginia, Knights of Pythias as Grand Master of Exchequer, and. Whereas, we feel keenly his unexpected and sudden demise, and believe we voice the sentiment of the members of the Grand Lodge of Virginia when we say he gave his time and talent unsparingly and unselfishly for the promotion of the principles of the Order and the hoisting of the Pythian Banner in every section, and. Whereas, he exercised energy and push in the discharge of the duties of his office as he saw them and in promoting the Pythian code, therefore be it. Resolved. That we how in humble submission to the will of Him who does everything for the best, and knows when to bow us in grief or raise us in joy. Resolved. That we acknowledge that his place will be hard to fill in our fraternity as regards to honesty, fair dealing and progressiveness. Resolved. That we commend the family to the Supreme Architect of the Universe who is able and ready to succor the needy, relieve the distressed and give comfort to the be- Resolved.

Norfolk, Va., February 11.—There was another angle today in the suit of Samuel L. Burton, colored, against officers and citizens of Onancock and Accomac county recently settled by the payment of $2,000 to Burton. This was the $100,000 federal court action that was last week compromised. James E. Heath, counsell for the defense in that case, today brought suit for A. S. West, B. T. Court and B. F. Winnart against Samuel L. Burton in the court of law and chancery to recover $1,500 damages. The suit one in debt, was followed by an attachment on the $2,000 in cash settlement in the other case. Burton claimed that he was driven out of the town of Onancock as a result of prejudice and a race riot there some years ago. A Call for a Meeting of the National Colored Democratic League.

PRESIDENT WOODS SPEAKS To the Baptist Brotherhood Dear Co-workers: The season of labor is again upon us. Conditions that are favorable now surround us; conditions that have developed from honest toll and perseverance, from sacrifice and suffering; and from a righteous disposition to reach the heights, call us again to duty. The Conventional year that is now rapidly closing is one in which much has been accomplished. A review of the field, makes the honest observer happy. As a matter of fact, everything seems to work well, for the purpose of achieving great success, ere this conventional year passes into time unthinkable. Every person interested in the progress of a work, so noble as its ours, should now bestir him and herself. The educational side of our work is certainly in good condition. The outlook was never brighter. The sun stands now at the meridian, the clouds have dispersed, the sky is clear. Never was the course of duty plainer; never was its reward surer. While I mention the whole field, as a ground for my assertion, it is particularly the educational work about which I desire now to speak. Our honored president of the Convention, Dr. Boiling, though he has nevertheless, been seriously sick, for which illness we are all sorry, has made known to the brotherhood, the desire of his heart with reference to the Convention. He asks for Ten Thousand Dollars ($110,000.00). We can raise it, that we know, because we have raised it. It has been done when the forces were not so many, not so strong as now. We need it, we can raise it, so the right and proper thing to do, is to raise it. An President of Virginia Theological Seminary and College, I ask that you allot Five Thousand Dollars to the Institution. If you will give us this amount, we pledge you, that the most of our mortgages indebtedness will be wiped out. With the mortgage indebtedness wiped out, our Institution will be practically free of debt, and enlargement will be guaranteed. It is not out of desire merely for enlargement nor yet simple imagination, that we continually preach enlargement, but brothers, seriously we speak, when we say, enlargement is demanded out of the force of circumstances. The student body is too large, for our present dormitory facilities, our class room space is totally inadequate. We need a Restation Hall; and we need another dormitory equally as much. Brotherton, we have the resources on which to draw. The people constitute in themselves a mighty enlowment, and surely the people ar with us, because we are right, and equally so because they are right. We earnestly implore our leaders, in their respective churches, sections and states to call upon the people NOW to rally to our support. Surely God leads the army. Our efforts must be successful, in proportion as we keep near the Minstry. This is the day of progress, the day for which we and our fathers prayed, endured, sacrificed, surely then we must accept it. To stand still is not to keep up the standard, to retrograde is not worthy of us, forward then must be our watchword. Newa comes from Pennsylvania that things are taking on splendid shape looking forward to our Hampton meeting. Dr Graham is as vigorous in Philadelphia as he was in Richmond. And the noble characters of Philadelphia are rallying about him. We shall say more of them and the work later. New York, New Jersey, Maryland, District of Columbia and Rhode Island will surely rally to our call. We hope and pray for the Ten Thousand Dollars. We hope and pray that the institution will get Five Thousand Dollars of that amount. Virginia, we are depending upon you. CHAUTACQUA. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, February 17, 18 and 19, the Chantiqua will be held at Virginia Theological Seminary and College. A splendid programme has been arranged which touches every phase of our racial and denominational life. Many able speakers have accepted our invitation to come and speak, so a great time is in store for us all. It is to be a gall, week in our school and city. The city ministers are lending us every aid and cooperating in every way to make the meeting a success. Friends from every section are invited. The work goes well with us here at school. Praying the Lord's blessings upon you, one and all, and our great work. I am humbly your servant. R. C. WOODS. President Virginia Theological Seminary and College. Dr. C. H. King of Ashville. N. C. will preach Sunday. 11. A. M. at the Third St. A. M. E. Church. A MINISTERIAL RECORD. Pastor Chamberlayne's Achievements. Hoy, D. H. Chamberlayne, B. D. pastor of the New St. John's Baptist Church, Kilmarnock, Va. is having marvelous success in the ministry. He enjoys the copidence and respect of the white people to a remarkable degree, who feelingly refer to him as "Brother Chamberlayne." He was born November 9, 1876. His father and mother are Mr. and Mrs. Henry Chamberlayne, of Richmond, Va. He attended the public schools, graduating with honor from the Richmond Normal and High School in his sixteenth year, completing the entire course without falling to pass an examination. At the age of thirteen he was converted and realized that God had called him to the ministry. He determined to prepare for the work he labored hard and earnestly to get funds to study for the gospel ministry. In 1907 he matriculated at the old Richmond Theological Seminary, of which the late beloved Dr. C. H. Corey was president. He took what was then the four year course graduating with honor from the Virginia Union University in 1901, the Richmond Theological Seminary having become a part of the University two years previous. Before his graduation, he was called to the pastorate of the Calvary and Mt. Olive Baptist Churches Northumberland County, Va. When told that it was a hard field, he replied, "That is what I am looking for." The churches were in debt, members were scatteted and buildings were small. He was not with them more than a few months before debt was paid, attendance of members increased and buildings were enlarged and remodeled. In 1902 he was happily married to Miss Bethea A. Kennie, Charlottesville, Va., with whom he became acquainted while she was attending Hartshorn Memorial College. Three children, Annie N. Dollola and Irma resulted from this union. After serving the above named churches eight years, he resigned to become Missionary for the General Baptist Association, with headquar REV. D. H. CHAMBERLAYNE, B. D. fews at Danville, Va. One who was present will not soon forget the scene on that Sunday, when he announced his resignation. Men and women cried like children and crowded around him said, "We shall never cease to pray for God to bring you back." Those words were prophetic. For after five months in Danville, Va. the poor health of his wife and child caused him to return. The General Association reluctantly accepted his resignation. On his return, he started Killmarnock by announcing that he would not accept his former two embroaches with the same Deacon Boards. It was not long after its return to Killimarnock that his wife to whom he was so devoted died. So tenderly did he nurse and care for her that his friends became anxious about him. "The sadest day of my life" is the way he speaks of his wife's death. Meanwhile the New St. John's Chapel Church had been organized with sixty members. It is the building up of this church against bitter opposition which has made his name a household word in the Northern Neck. When he became their pastor less than three years ago, these people were penniless, and friendless. Four months after he took charge, they had their first rainy and rained $2,575 at one service. In less than three years they have raised nearly $7,000 00. They have bought and paid for three acres of valuable land in Killimarnock, have erected a temporary building seating over 400 and have completely enclosed a beautiful edifice upon which they have expended over $5,000 00. Their new building will seat over 800. Not a penny is owed upon their property. The motto of the pastor is, "Pay as we build." Not only financially, but spiritually the success of this church is remarkable. There are now 350 members, about 150 having been added by baptism. The Sunday School with an average attendance of over 200 is the largest in the Northern Neck. When asked the secret of his success Rev. Chamberfayne 'replied, "Faith in God and hard work. I learned much from Rev. W. F. Graham. D. D., who was my master. He Is not afraid to do what he bolloves to be right no matter how bitter the opposition." The present Mrs. Chamberlayne was Miss Ora E. Lee, the daughter of Prof. and Mrs. S. W. Lee. She is an accomplished young lady and was the life long friend of the former Mrs. Chamberlayne. Rev. Chamberlayne has a beautiful home and owns a valuable farm. His surroundings bespeak success. It is useless to add that his members love him dearly. If more prepared young man would go to the rural districts and by upright Christian conduct merit the approval and good will of the white people as this young man has, the so-called race problem would soon be solved. H. F. JONATHAN LAID TO REST. Pathetic Scenes at Funeral—Many Pay Tribute to His Memory. The funeral of H. F. Jonathan, mercenary and banker, took place late Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock from his residence, 740 N. Fifth St. Mr George W. Hison of Danville, Va. District Deputy Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias came to the city Friday morning bringing with him a large floral offering from the members of the Knights of Pythias in that city. Grand Lecturer T. J. Preo and Past Chancellor Philip Brown came from Newport News on a similar mission. They had been notified by telegram by Grand Chancellor Mitchell that the death had occurred and that the funeral would be Friday, but this was subsequently changed. PROMINENT PYTHIAN The deceased held the position of Grand Master of Exchoger and Supreme Representative of the Grand Lodge of Virginia. Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A. A. and A. He had served in those positions for many years. It was indeed a mournful cortege that gathered at his residence on "that Saturday afternoon preliminary to removing his remains to their last resting place. He rested as peacefully in that handsome cloth-covered casket of black as though no had just fallen asleep. Floral declents of loving friends filled the front parlor. The Mauns were there and the Past Master's Council shut itself in to perform the last solemn rites in connection with that fraternity. Carriages drove up and from team ushered! the Directors of the Mechanics Savings Bank, at whose head marked President John Mitchell, Jr They wore silk hats and Prince Albert coat and the scene was impressive as they paid the last tribute of respect to their fellow director. THE FUNERAL SERMON Then Funeral Director W. Iasan Johnson was ready to remove the remains to the church and all filed out the directors now acting as honorary pall bearers. Maco Loode members inscribed on the sidewalks as the members of the Masonie fraternity The Grand Union Tabernacle of the Accepted Order of Love and Charity Willis Wyatt, grand head, was out. The First Baptist Church choir sang a solonian anthem under the leadership of Mrs Rosa K. Jones and Mrs Nandu Cobb presided at the ocean, Rev. Dr. C. H. Phillips and Rev. Dr. A. S. Thomas assisted in the exercises. The sermon was preached in a most impressive manner by Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D. He made sympathetic references to the services of the deceased, who for so many years had been a member of that church. A dust was sung with most pleasing effect by the sweet voiced songsters, Mrs E. J. Johnson and Mrs. Cora Epps Hill. THE SCENE AT THE CEMETERY A few moments later amidst the strains of mournful, but sweet music, the solemn cortege moved out to the street and then on the way to Greenwood Cemetery. Here some embalment was caused by the fact that the grave, owing to a misunderstanding had been buried in the section of another member of the Jonathan family. The remains were placed in the chapel and the solemn rites of the Orders performed, while the grave digger was at work preparing his last resting place again. With but little inconvenience, the family and special friends remained and wished the remains consigned to Mother Earth. Wife of Dr. Manuel III. The wife of Rev. S. C. Manuel, D. D., pastor of the Fifth St. Baptist Church is seriously ill. She is now in Washington undergoing an operation. It is reported that she is improving and it is hoped that she will be home now in a few weeks. The divine has our sympathy. The Window By MARY ROBERTS RINEHART SYNOPSIS Margery Fleming asks John Knox, attorney, to find her father, State Treasurer, telling him it was missing. A paper with the letter it been found planned to Flemings' pillow. Fleming, whose dishonest work drove Henry Butler, former state treasurer, to suicide, has been seen alive. Knox visits Mary and Jane Mastall, Margery's cousin. Margery is engaged to Harry Wardrop. Knotia tells Knox ten of her pearls have been stolen. Knox watches for burglars. During the night Wardrop's values rebel. Jane Mastall mysteriously disappears. Wardrop is suspected. In her room is found another paper with 112 on it. Wardrop is under arrest. Detective Hunter shows that Wardrop is lying. One of the missing pearls is found in a closet inside his fountain pen. Knox is in love with Margery. He and Margery are in the White Cat, a political club, where he has been hiding. A note left by Fleming refers to 112. Wardrop, Fleming's secretary, is supposed of the murder. Wardrop admits that the White Cat, a political club, where he has been hiding. A note left by Fleming refers to 112. Wardrop says he does not know what the illness I22 mean. He also discovers that his value was carried away and another left in its place. Lightfoot, Fleming's cashier, tells Knox Fleming killed himself. Lightfoot waste Plymouth and gives Knox bears an intruder in the Fleming house. Margery declares that her father was murdered. The police influenced by politicians, say Fleming killed himself.

There is a secret staircase in the White Cat leaping in the middle where Fleming skimmed down to hide behind Schwartz as an accomplice. Apparently Mrs. Butler choreographed Margery's dance were lame to attempt to the cat to hide as a woman attempts to kill Schwartz. CHAPTER XVII I DROPPED below the window, and above the rain I could hear the squash of the watchman's boots in the mud. He flashed a night lamp in at the window next to ours, but he was not very near, and the open window escaped his notice. I felt all the nervous dread of a real male factor, and when I heard the gate close behind him and saw Burton put a leg over the sill I was almost as relieved as I would have been had somebody's body plate, tied up in a tablecloth, been repeating at my feet. Unlike the first floor, the second was guldfilled into rooms. It took a dozen precious matches to find our way to the side of the building overlooking the club and another down to find the window we wanted. When we were there at last Burton handed his elbows on the sill and looked down and across. "Could anything be better?" he said. "There's one theater, and we've got a proscenium law. That room over there stands out like a spot light." He was right. Not more than fifteen feet away and perhaps a foot lower than our window was the window of the room where Fleming had been killed. It was empty as far as we could see. The table, neat enough now, was where it had been before, directly under the light. Any one who sat there would be an illuminated target from our window. Not only that, but an arm could be steamed on the sill, allowing for an almost perfect aim. "Now where's your staircase?" Burton jeered. Above the rattle of the rain came the thump, thump, of the piano and a half dozen male voices. The shutters below were closed. We could see nothing. I think it was then that Burton had his inspiration. "I'll bet you a five dollar bill," he said, "that if I fire off my revolver here now not one of those fellows down there would pay the slightest attention." "I'll take that bet," I returned. "I'll wager that every time anbody drops a poker since Fleming was shot the entire club turns out to investigate." "I'll tell you what I do," said durtion. "Everybody down there knows me. I'll drop in for a bottle of beer, and you fire a shot into the floor hero or into somebody across, if you happen to see any one you don't care for. I suggest that you stay and fire the shot, because if you went, my friend, and nobody heard it you would accuse me of shooting from the back of the building somewhere." He gave me the revolver and left me with a final injunction. "Walt for ten minutes," he said. "It will take five for me to get out of here, and five more to get into the clubhouse. Perhaps you'd better make it fifteen." He went away into the darkness, and I sat down on an empty box by the window and waited. Had any one asked me at that minute bob near we were to the solution of our double mystery I would have said we had made no progress, save by eliminating Wardrop. Not for one instant did I dream that I was within less than half an hour of a revelation that changed my whole conception of the crime. I had an idea that it would be hard to explain my position, alone in the wane. P. D. W. home, lifting a revolver into the floor if my officer argument was right, and the club should come to a search. I looked again at my watch. Every one who has counted the passing of seconds knows how they dang. With my eyes on the room across, and my finger on the trigger I waited as best I could. At ten minutes I was conscious there was some one in the room over the way. And then he came in from the side some where and walked to the table. He had his back to me, and I could only see that he was a large man, with massive shoulders and dark hair. It was difficult to make out what was doing. After a half minute, he stepped to the side, and I saw that he had lifted a candlestick was practically reading and then holding certain objects, throwing the elbow fragment on the table. With the same grace that told me that I knew him, it was a hearty I was so engrossed in watching him that he was come the door to the window. I stood perfectly still staring at him. With the light at his head I felt so that I had been discovered, but I was wrong. He shook the newspaper that had hold the fragments out out of the window, lighted a cigarette and turned back into the room. He was not alone, for he addressed a note one in the room behind. "You are sure you got them all!" he said. The other party came within range of vision. It was Davenport. "All these were, Mr. Sawgrat," he replied. "We were nearly blinded to L. R. C. As He Struck Her Hand Aude the Explosion Game. fore the woman made a belt." He held out a small object on the palm of his hand. "I would rather have done it alone. Mr. S. Wardzir." he said. "I found this ring in Bikers pocket this morning. It belongs to the girl." S. Wardzir wrote and, plecking up the ring, held it to the light. Then he made an angry motion to throw it out of the window, but sild it into his vest pocket instead. "You're poor stuff, Davidson," he said, with a sniff. "If she hasn't got them, then Wardzir has. Tell Me I need to see him." Davidson left, for I heard the door close. Schwartz held the ring to the light. I looked at my watch. The time was almost up. A fresh burst of noise came from below. I leaned out cautiously and looked down at the lower windows; they were still closed and shuttered. When I raised my eyes again to the level of the room nearby, I was amazed to see a second figure in the room—a woman at that. Schwarts had not seen her. He stood with his back to her, looking at the ring in his hand. The woman had thrown her well back, but I could see nothing of her face as she stood. She looked small beside Schwarts's towering height, and she wore black. She must have said something just then very quietly, for Schwarts suddenly wheeled on her. I had a clear view of him, and if ever gritted, gaze and white tipped fear showed on a man's face it showed on his. He replied—a half dozen words in a low tone and made a motion to offer her a chair. She paid no attention. White Cat I have no idea how long a time they talked. The fresh outburst of noise below made it impossible to hear what they said, and always there was the maddening fact that they did not see her face. I thought of Mrs. Pleasing, but this woman seemed younger and more slender. Schwartz was arguing, I imagined, but she stood immobile, scared, watching him. She seemed to have made a request, and the man's exasperated moved her no whit. It may have been only two or three minutes, but it seemed bigger. Schwartz had given up the argument, whatever it was, and by polling out the window I supposed he was telling her he had thrown what she wanted out there. Even then she did not turf toward me. I could not see even her profile. What happened next was so unexpected that it reminds little more than a picture in my mind. The man throw out his hands as if to show he could not or would not need to her request. He was fushed with rage, and even at that distance the ugly scar on his forehead stood out like a welt. The next moment I saw the woman raise her right hand with something in it. I pulled to Schwartz to warn him, but he had already seen the revolver. As he stumbled her hand aside the explosion came. I saw her stagger, clutching at a chair and fall backward beyond his range of vision. Then the light went out, and I was staring at a black brick wall. bekel, as Burton had said he would leave it, and from the steps of the door I could hear laughter and the refrain of a popular song. Burton was there in the kitchen, with two other men whom I did not recognize, each one holding a stem of bread. Burton had two, and he held one out to me as I stood trying to get my breath. "You want, he said, "Although I'm a hard working journalist and need the money I want he. This is Observer of the Star and McFaddis of the Eagle, Mr Know. They heard the shot in there, and if I hadn't told the story there would have been a pants. What's the matter with you?" "For God's sake, Burton," I panted, "let's get up quietly. I didn't tire my shot. There's a woman dead up there." With characteristic pulse the three reporters took the situation quietly. We dived through the grillroom as casually as we could. With the door closed, however, we weeded caution aside. I led the way up the stairs to the room where I had found Fleming's body and where I expected to find another. On the landing at the top of the stairs I came face to face with Davidson, the detective, and behind him Judge McLeyd. Davidson was trying to open the door of the room where Fleming had been shot with a skeleton key. But it was bolted inside. When I had got the door open and had not felt Schwartz's heavy hand at my throat I drew a long breath of relief. Burton found the electric light swift and turned it on. And then I could hardly believe my senses. The room was empty. But I picked up a small plucked receiver from the door. Borton, after all, was the quickest witted of the lot. He throw open one of the two doors in the room, revealing a shallow chest with papered wall and a row of books. The other door stunk fight. One of the two peanuts to the floor. A bit of black cloth had wedged it from the other side. Our combined efforts got it open at last and we crowded in the doorway, looking down a flight of stairs. Hubbled first below us, her head at our feet, was the body of the missing woman. "My God!" Borton said horrified, "who is it?" We got her into the room and on the couch before I knew her. Her fair hair had fallen loose over her face and one long, thin hand clutched it at the bloom of her gown. It was Elon Hutter. "She's got about an hour, I should say," said one of the newspaper men. "See if Kary is around, will you, Jim? He's mostly here Saturday night." Whatever surprise Gray may have felt at seeing a woman there, and dying, he made no comment. He said she might live six hours, but the end was certain. We got a hospital ambulance and with the clang of its bell as it turned the corner and hurried away the White Cat drops out of this story so far as action is concerned. Three detectives and as many reporters hunted Schwartz all of that night and the next day to get his story. But he remained in hiding. Even in her agony Ellen Butler's hate had carried her through the doorway after blink, to collapse on the stairs. I took a car and rode to the hospital. A night watchman in felt shoes admitted me and took me upstairs. The cover was drawn up to the in-fired woman's chin, where it was folded neatly back. Her face was bloodless, and her fair hair had been gathered up in a shaggy knot. She wee breathing slowly, but regularly, and her expression was relaxed—more restful than I had ever seen it. As I stood at the foot of the bed and looked down at her I knew that as surely as death was coming it would be welcome. Edith and Fred were there. As he sat there beside the bed I knew by his face, that he was repeating and repenting every unkind word he had said about Ellen Butler. Once she asked for water without opening her eyes and Fred slipped a bit of ice between her white lips. Later in the night she locked up for an instant at me. "He struck my hand," she said, with difficulty. By morning she was rallying a little from the shock. I got Fred to take Edith home, and I took her place by the bed. I hoped, to get some sort of statement before the injured woman was taken to the operating room, but she lay in a stupper, and I had to give up the idea. It was two days before I got her deposition, and in that time I had learned many things. On Monday I took Margery to her wood. She had received the news about her mother more calmly than I had expected. "I do not think she was quite nice poor woman," she said with a shiver. "She had had a great deal of trouble. But how strange a man and an attempt at murder at that in the club in a sack." She did not connect the two, and let the thing rest at that. Once on the train, she asked "Don't you think that she had a set of homophilic maus and that she tried to kill me with chloroform?" "I hardly think so." I returned even gladly. "I am reminded to think one actually got in over the pool roof." "It is very comforting to have friend one can rely on," she said, with the little bit of kindness went to me head. If she had not got a helper her eye at that psychological motive. I am afraid I could generatively have tamedal Wardrobe underfoot, raise their. We found Miss Lettris in the lower hall and Doppie on her knees with hat hat. Between them sat a packen box. "Here, give it to me." Miss Lettris demanded we so scoped in the door way. "Like as not its a mistake" being "that the expression was prepaid. If it's mineral water—crush! something broke inside." "If it's inhaled water," I said, "you'd better let me open it." She watched me suspiciously while I straightened the mats she had been and lifted the boards. The article that had smushed under the visor of Miss Lelitia seventy years had been a teapot of some very beautiful wine. I have called just now from my study to ask what sort of ware it was, and the lady who sets me right says it was brown Derby. Then there were rows of cups and saucers and heterogeneous ratios in the same material that the women fold seemed to understand. At the last, when the emptiness seemed over, they sound "true" in a lower section of the box, and the kettle" and "At" had to be done all over again. There was not the slightest claw in the sender but, while Miss Lelitia rattled Hope leoily in the kitchen and Bella swept in the ball, Margery was the same skirt that had occurred to me. "If I Aver Jane were all right, she said tremendously. It would be just the sort of thing the lives to do." "I'm not pretending to know what took Jane Maitland away from this house in the middle of the night," said Miss Lottie. "She was a good bit of a fool, Jane was. She never grew up. But If I know Jane Maitland, she will me back and be loved with her people. If it only to put Mary's husband out of the fold of the house. And another thing, know. I told you the last time you were here that I had been treated of any of the poets, after all Half of the poets, were James, and she had a perfect right to take forty nine of them if she wanted. She told me she was going to take some and it slipped my mind." I believe it was the first she had ever told in her birth, one lentilous life. Was she right? I wondered. Had Miss Jane taken the poets, and if she had, who? CHAPTER XVIII Wardrop's Story. WARDROP got back about 5 and as Miss Leibra was in the middle of a distraction against white undergarments for colored children Margery and she had a half hour alone together. I had known, of course, that it must come, but under the circumstances, with my whole future existence as stake it was, I was as to whether it was colored undergarments on white ophers or the other way round. When I get away at last I found Iola waiting for me in the hall. Her eyes were red with crying, and she had a crumpled newspaper in her hand. She broke down when she tried to speak, but I got the newspaper from her, and she politiced with one work hardened finger to a column on the first page. It was the announcement of Mrs. Butler's tragic incident and the mystery that surrounded it. There was no mention of Schwarz. Bella told me that she had lived with Mrs. Butter since she was sixteen and had only left when the husband's sails had broken up the home. I could get nothing else out of her, but gradually Bella's share in the mystery was coming to light. Wardrop was looking better that afternoon than he had when I saw him before, but the news of Mrs. Butter's approaching death and the manner of her injury affected him strangely. He had seen the paper, like Bella, and returned on me almost fiercely when I entered the library. Margery was at the window. "Is she conscious?" Wardrop asked eagerly, indicating the article in the paper. "No, not now; at least, it is not like it." He looked relieved. Then he peeled the room nervously. His next action showed the development of a resolution, for he pushed forward two chairs for Margery and myself. "Sit down, both of you," he directed. "I've got a lot to say, and I want you both to listen. When Margery has heard the whole story she probably will despise me for the rest of her life. I can't help it. I've got to tell all I know, and it isn't so much after all I didn't feel too me yesterday. Knox. I knew what that doctor was after. But he couldn't make me tell what Mr. Fleming because, before God. I didn't know. "I have to go back to the night Miss Jane disappeared—and that's another thing that has driven me desperate. Will you tell me why I should be suspected of having a hand in that when she had been a mother to me? If she is dead she can't exonerate me; if she is living and we find her she will tell you what I tell you—that I know nothing of the whole terrible business." "I am quite certain of that, Wardrop," I interposed. "Besides, I think I have got to the bottom of that mystery." Margery looked at me quickly, but I shook my head. It was too early to tell my suspicions. "The things that looked black against me were had enough, but they had nothing to do with Miss Jane. I will have to go back to before the night she went away, back to the time Mr. Butler was the state treasurer and your father, Margery, was his cashier "Butler was not a business man. He let too much responsibility he with his subordinates, and when, according to the story, he couldn't do much anyhow against Schwartz. The cashier was entirely under machine control, and Butler was tragicful. You remember, Knox, the crush when three banks, rotten to the core, went under and it was found a large amount of Margery was very pale, but quiet. She sat with her fingers locked in her lap and her eyes on Wardrop. "It was a bad business," Wardrop went on wearily. "Fleming moved into Butler's place an treasurer and took Lightfoot as his cashier. That kept the lid on. Once or twice when there was an unexpected call for fund the treasury was almost empty, and Schwartz carried things over himself I went to Plattshire as Mr. Fleming's private secretary when he became treasurer, and from the first I knew things were even worse than the average state government. "Schwartz and Fleming had to hold together. They hated each other, and the feeling was troubled when Fleming married Schwartz's divorced wife." Margery looked at me with startled, incredulous eyes. What she must have seen confirmed Wardrop's words, and she leaned back in her chair limp and cannerved. But she heard and comprehended every word Wardrop was saying. "The woman was a very ordinary person, but it seems Schwartz can handle her, and he tried to grab Mr. Fleming shortly after the marriage. About a year ago Mr. Fleming said another attempt had been made on his life with person. Things were not going well at the treasury. Schwartz and his crowd were making demands that were hard to supply and behind all that Fleming was afraid to go out alone at night. He employed a man to protect him, a man named Carter, who had been a bartender in Pittsburgh. When things began to happen there in Manchester he took Carter to the home as a buffer. "Then the Borough bank got shaky. If it went down there would be an ugly scandal, and Fleming would get too. His notes for half a million were there, without security, and he dared not show the enclosed notes he had with Schwartz's indemnity. "I'm not proud of the rest of the story, Mercury." He stood looking down at her. "I was engaged to marry a girl who was everything on earth to me, and I was private secretary to the state treasurer, with the principal of such a position." "Mr. Bloom came back here when the Borough had threatened failure and tried to get money enough to tie over the trouble. A half million would have done it, but he couldn't get it. He was in Butler's position exactly only he was guilty and Butler was in incest. He raised a little money here and I went to Plattsburg with securities and letters. It isn't necessary to go over the things I suffered there. I brought back $10,000 in a package in my Quittee leather bag. And—I had something else." He wavered for the first time in his recital. He went on more rapidly and without looking at either of us. "I carried, not in the valise, a bundle of letters, fire in all, which had been B. BACON "Did You Think I Stated Them?" written by Henry Rutter to Mr. Flemm. letters that showed what a dupe Butter had been, that he had beer negligent, but not criminal; accusing Fleming of having ruined him and demanding certain notes that would have proved it. If Butler could have produced the letters at the time of his brutal things would have been different." "Were you going to sell the letters?" Margery demanded, with quick scorn. "I intended to, but—I didn't. It was a little bit too dirty, after all. I met Mrs. Butler for the second time in my life at the gate down there as I came up from the train the night I got here from Plattsburg. She had offered to buy the letters, and I had brought them to sell to her. And then at the last minute I lied. I said I couldn't get them—that they were locked in the Monmouth avenue house. I felt like a cad. She wanted to clear his husband's memory, and I—well, Mr. Fleming was your father, Margery. I couldn't hurt you like that." "Do you think Mrs. Butler took your leather bag?" I asked. "I do not think so. It seems to be the only explanation, but I did not let it out of my hand one moment while we were talking. My hand was cramped from holding it when she gave up in despair at last and went back to the city." "What did you do with the letters she wanted?" "I keep them with me that night and the next morning hid them in the secret closet. That was when I dropped my fountain pen." "And the pearls?" Margery asked "When did you get them, Harry?" To my surprise his face did no change. "Two days before I left," he said "We were using every method to get money, and your father said to sacrifice them if necessary." "My father?" He wheeled on us both. "Did you think to sell them?" he demanded. And I confess that I was ashamed to say I had thought precisely that. "Your father gave me nine unmounted pearls to sell," he reiterated. "I got about a thousand dollars for them—eleven hundred—and something, I believe." I think Margery was fairly stunned to learn that her father had married again, that he had been the keystone in an arch of villainy that, with him gone, was now about to fall and to assemble him with so smalt and mean a thing as the theft of a handful of pearls. "Then," I said to bring Wardrobe back to his story, "you found you had been robbed of the money, and you went in to tell Mr. Fleming. You had some words, didn't you?" "He thought you all thought," Wardrop said bitterly. "He accused me of stealing the money. I felt worse than a thief. He was desperate, and I took his revolver from him. "I came back here to Hollywood, and the first thing I learned was about Miss Jane. When I saw the blood print on the stair rail I thought she was murdered, and I had more than I could stand. I took the letters out of the secret book before I could show it to you and Hunter, and later I put them in the leather bag I gave you and locked it. You have it, haven't you Knox?" I nodded. "As for that night at the club, I took the truth then, but not all the truth. I suppose I am a coward, but I was afraid to. If you knew Schwartz you would understand." With the memory of his huge figure and the heavy undershot face that I had seen the night before I could understand very well, knowing Wardrop "I went to that room at the White Cat that night because I was afraid not to go. Fleming might kill himself or some one else. I went up the stairs slowly, and I heard no shot. At the door I hesitated, then opened it quietly. The door into the built in staircase was just closing. It must have taken me only an instant to realize what had happened. Fleming was awaying for ward, as I caught him. I jumped to the staircase and looked down, but I was too late. The door below had closed. I knew in another minute who had been there and escaped. It was raining, you remember, and Schwartz had forgotten to take his umbrella with his name on the handle." "Now do you understand why I was being followed?" he demanded "I have been under surveillance every minute since that night. There's probably some one hanging around the gate now. Anyhow I was frantic. I saw how it looked for me, and if I brought Schwartz into it I would have been knitted in forty-eight hours. I hardly remember what I did. I know I ran for a doctor, and I took the umbrella with me and left it in the vestibule of the first house I saw with a doctor's sign. I rang the bell like a crazy man, and then Hunter came along and said to go back; Dr. Gray was at the club. "That is all I know. I'm not proud of it, Margery, but it might have been worse, and it's the truth. It clears up something, but not all. It doesn't tell where Aunt Jane is or who has the hundred thousand. But it does show who killed your father. And if you know what is good for you, Knox, you will let it go at that. You can't fight the police and the courts single handed. Look how the whole thing was dropped and the most cold blooded kind of murder turned into suicide. Suicide without a weapon! Bab!" "I am not so sure about Schwartz," I said thoughtfully. "We haven't yet learned about eleven twenty-two C." Miss Jane Maitland had been missing for ten days. In that time no one word had come from her. Some things puzzled me more that ever in the light of Wardrop's story. For the third time I asked myself' why Miss Letta denied the loss of the pearls. There was nothing in what we had learned, either, to tell why Miss Jane had gone away—to ascribe a motive. How she had gone, in view of Wardrop's story of the cab, was clear. She had gone by street car, walking the three miles to Wytonp alone at 2 o'clock in the morning, although she had never stirred around the house at night without a candle and was privately known to sleep with a light when Miss Letitia went to bed first and could not see it through the transom. The theory I had formed seemed absurd at first, but as I thought it over its probabilities grew on me. I took dinner at Bellwood and started for town almost immediately after. Margery had gone to Miss Letitia's room, and Wardrop was pacing up and down the veranda, smoking. He look adjected and amorous and welcomed my suggestion that he walk down to the station with me. As we went, a man emerged from the trees across and came slowly after us. "You see, I am only nominally a free agent," he said moreosely. "They'll poison me yet. I know too much." We said little on the way to the train. Just before it came thundering along, however, he spoke again. "I am going away, Knox. There isn't anything in this political game for me, and the law is too long. I have a chum in Mexico, and he wants me to go down there. There isn't any longer a reason why one part of the earth is better than another. Mexico or Alaska, it's all the same to me." Crude Oil Quoted at $2,332 The fourth successive advance in crude oils was recorded when the South Penn Oil company announced its prices in Pittsburgh, Pa. As on every day this week the price was lifted seven cents a barrel, bringing Pennsylvania crude oil to $2.33. For eighteen months preceding the dissolution of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, which took place Dec. 15, 1911, Pennsylvania crude, on which the price of all oil is based by the purchasing agencies, had been quoted at $1.93 a barrel. Eleven days afterward the price was advanced new cents, and within a month producers were receiving $1.20 a barrel for oil. Advances continued at regular intervals, and $1 a barrel is predicted before the end of the year. ```markdown ``` --- Henry Clay, former director of public safety, John R Wiggins and William H Walls, contractors, of Philadelphia, wedge and galley of conspiracy to defraud the city in the erection of a fire hose during the administration of Mast Raybon Carl B.

WANTED TO HOLD HIS J03 Dwn Daughter Killed by Janitor, Who Bent Infernal Machine to Judge Ros alsky, of New York. John Paul Farrell, a Janitor in New York city, has confessed that he sent to Bernard Herrera last Sunday the bomb which resulted in the death of Mrs. Herrera and serious injury to Herrera and to Miss Fughtman a boarder. Then Farrell astonished the police by calmly reciting that he sent the bomb which killed Mrs. Helen Taylor a year ago, adding that Mrs. Taylor was his daughter. Next Farrell solved the mystery surrounding the sending of a bomb last year to Judge Otto Ros alsky. Finally he explained the death of "Kid" Walker, slain in 1857. Ho slew Merril Taylor, he said, because she was his daughter and had gone wrong. "Kid" Walker was killed, he declared, by a man named Les strange because Walker had caused Mrs. Taylor's downfall. The attempt on Judge Rosalysky's life, he added, was made because the judge had sentenced a criminal, unnamed, to twenty years' imprisonment. The bomb was sent to the judge by a man who was known to Farrell only as "Tony." Herrera's life was sought. Farrell said, because Herrera had said that he would discharge him from his job as janitor. Farrell was employed at the apartment house where Herrera is superintendent. Before the astonished defectives, the maker of deadly bombs constructed a dummy infernal machine, explaining how he made it, what he put into it how it operated and what the damage would be to the person who closed it. The Taylor and Rough bombs, he said, were constructed to the male. In the case of Herrera, Farrell said he had crept upstate when Herrera was away and had placed the bomb wrapped the postcard box on the bunkhouse door. Herrera had only to leave the house. A criminal with Farrell controlled only after an officer had told him that the bomb had not been detonated. Detectives and the police went over with him what he had told the officer. The constrain Penelope told the paper he began to make the movie a bomb last Thursday night, completed it on Friday and kept it in its room till Sunday. Unmoved by the knowledge that his retaliation meant and how to the electric chair, the boothmaster pliedly took penell and paper and drew numerous diagrams, explaining how he had planned the mechanism. He began work on the bomb after Mrs. Herrera had notified him that a colored man had been engaged to take his place. In a short bit of pipe, placed up in the basement of the apartment house, he placed a bottle of nitroglycerine, holding it in position by nails and paper. In the mouth of the bottle he placed a cork, in which a hole had been burned with a red hot hairpin. A percussion cap, a small spring, a steel button, a box, wrapping paper and twine completed the make up of the internal machine. The spring was so arranged as to snap the button sharply against the percussion cap when the box was opened. "Unless this man is crazy," said Mr. Dougherty, "we have caught the most disastrous criminal that has come to the attention of the police in fifty years." Landslide Menace Panama Canal. Further movements of the slides in the banks of the Culebra cut, Panama canal, was reported to the Isthmian canal commission in Washington. Material to the amount of 1,000,000 cubic yards has been or will be thrown into the cut as a result of this latest activity of the slides. Between 300,000 and 400,000 cubic yards of earth moved into the cut at Curacaca, covering five railroad tracks in the cut at that point leaving only one of the tracks open. Another slide occurred just south of 'Gold Hill, and it is expected that 500,000 cubic yards of earth and rock will have been precipitated into the cut before the slide is completed. The latest slide at Curachaca has also weakened the bank at Purple Hill, and it is expected that there will be further, sliding at that point in the near future.

There is decidedly a difficult task before many generously developed women how to look well and yet not run counter to current modes. Every woman would seem to be trying to look young and thin, but this cannot always be done, and in trying to appear thin women too often add to their apparent age. A few plain facts must be remembered. Stout women must first of all avoid stripes and vivid colors. The new reds now coming in, the vivid greens and the brilliant combinations of color must be avoided. She must avoid patent leather shoes and boots with white, gray or other light toned uppers. Hats require great consideration, and far removed from her category any felts with hard or very high crowns or prominent upstanding feathers. A belt simply emphasizes the embound point of her waist. Very narrow skirts are quite impossible. They should be out by a hand well accustomed to the art. Panders are quite out of the question. The clothes of the stout and elderly woman need a great deal of thought. One color should be the distinguishing fact of her whole toilet. One piece gown with a cape better suited to sloung women than a long coat, but they may console themselves with the fact that what they ought to wear is what constitutes the elements of good dressing. If she makes a mistake in costume it certainly looks worse on a sloung woman than on a thin one on whom probably it would pass unnoticed. Brilliant jet turtlenecks must be worn with caution. Swaying fringes and tassels are of all things to be avoided. The stout woman is also if she chooses simple clothes and careful combinations of colors and strictly avoids any garishness. WEE FOLK STYLES. How to Make Children's Rainy Day Suits. Overalls—Get a pattern one size larger than age calls for. Cut the pattern of just above the knees and, if desired, raise the material under the arm, also over the back and chest. This is not always necessary; it depends upon the pattern of overalls. Try the pattern against the child and widen from four to six inches below the collar. Cape—Circular cap; length, a little shorter than length inside of the elbow, to give perfect freedom. Sleeves—Plain, not full, cut by any ordinary sleeve pattern. Place the cape and the sleeves on the child and where the sleeves naturally join the cape pin over the shoulder and baste. The under part of the sleeve is left free and is bound with narrow thieffold of material or tape. Stitch the military strap on top of the shoulder of the cape to prevent the stitching showing. This adds strength and gives a trim effect. When the costume is complete dip melted torailin which has been removed from the stove in a kettle large enough to allow the goods to be well immersed. Leave in the lot solution faten or fifteen minutes, allowing the parts equal opportunity to absorb the paraffin. Lift out carefully by the hem and allow to dip. When dry the garment will be stiff. Rub between the hands to reduce stiffness and remove unnecessary paraffin, which is apt to be too thick in heavy places. The garment may be rolled at any time and the same paraffin may be used again. Generally two dippings annually give perfect satisfaction. HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL WHEN IN THE MOTORCAR. A compact little motor bag of cremeine in an oriental pattern is fitted up with all the little things a woman needs to put her to rights after a long ride. To repair the cavages of wind and dust are cold cream, powder, nail bleach, hairpins, a tray comb and brush and countless other necessities. The button of the bag conceals a rubber lined peek et for wash tag and soap. How to Mend Furniture Dry rot is very common in old furniture, and sometimes of piece is too good to throw away. The rotten part can be strengthened in this way: Scrape the rotten wood from the piece of furniture, then spray the part with cool oil. Make a mixture of beeswax, mossed rosin and sawdust and fill the holes. This will harden and make perfect wood cement. If the wood is a dark mahogany color and some melted sealing wax to the mixture, keep it hot when applying it to the wood. When varnished it does not show the patch. When a round breaks in a chair do not remove the back or leg of the chair, wherever the damage is done. Pull the round from the chair, repair if it is possible, then with an auger make one of the holes a half inch deeper. This will allow the round to slip down into the deepened hole, after which the opposite end can be lifted in place and glued. The piece should be flat while drying or the round will slip out of place. This saves the trouble of removing other parts to remedy one small break HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Superfluous Fat Shoulder movements will take superficious fat off the back, says a writer in the Chicago News. Lift your right shoulder as high as you can, twist it, then lower it. Next move the shoulder in its pocket in circular fashion, then lift your right shoulder, describe a circle with your arms, lower your shoulder and let your arms fall to your side. Repeat this half a dozen times. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. BOWSER BEHAVES But His Wife Worries Until His Starts In Again. And is Hounded by a Premonition of Coming Disaster, but the Clouds Are Dispelled When He Shows Up With the Usual Grouch. By M. QUAD, [Copyright, 1933, by Associated Literary Press] R. ROWSER'S ways are not always just as I could whan for, but I don't want to MR. ROWSEKS ways are not always just us. I could whist for, but I don't want to lose him. He has his coldities, but he means well. He's got an idea that if he shouts "Woman" at me and waves his arms about he'll make me cuddle down. He comes home with this scheme and that, and everything looks rosy to him until I bring figures to bear, but I am glad he is no pussy. I can generally catch up to his moods almost at once, but there are times when he is unreadable and worries me—when he isn't Mr. Bowser at all. When he got up last Sunday morning he didn't yawn and stretch and grunt and growl. On the contrary, he was unusually silent, and, though his books, collar, the tie and gullor buttons were scattered about the room as usual, he recovered them without once declaring that this was the worst run house in America. He usually grows about his Sunday breakfast, but on this occasion he hadn't a word of fault to find. I made no suggestion about his accompanying me to church and was utterly amazed when he announced his intention. I looked for a row when he came to dress, but there was none. He A HE WASN'T EVEN THERE ATMED seldom or never plato on a fresh collar without blitting the humidrantry's eyes, but on this occasion he even spoke of the work being nicely done. He didn't find the church too cold or too hot, the slinging too loud or too low, the sation too short or too long. He seemed well pleased, and he did not make one simple flick over the Sun- day dinner. He read mound to me in the evening and, though I corrupted his pronunciation a few times, he did not lose his temper. I am somewhat worried over the change in him. Mrs. B. la Worried. Monday No kick as Mr Rowe got up this morning. His collar button had rolled under the bureau, and he got down on his hands and knees and hunted it up without a sweater word, found no fault with breakfast, although I thought the outfit was overdue, left the house in what seemed a happy frame of mind, and when he returned to dinner he brought no new food with him. He sat down and read a book nearly all the evening, and when I showed him the gas bill that had been handed in during the day he remarked that it was very moderate for the time of year. I looked at him in amazement but he smiled in return. Two policemen called to ask him to run for payer, but he quietly refused, and would not even go to the nearest saloon to talk matters over. He complimented me on the way I manage the house and inspired if my phm boy was sufficient to carry me along. I wonder if anything is going to happen? Tuesday: No kicks in the morning; no kicks at breakfast. The coffee was surely a little off, but Mr. Bowser said nothing about dring the cook through the window. He wore his old hat away by mistake, but he did not come home and blow me up about it. I was rather expecting to see him bring home a fire escape, a burglar alarm or a new skien in medicine chests, but he brought me a box of candy instead. The cook has observed his singular change and in getting nervous over it. She says she had an uncle who made just such a sudden change and died within a week. No kicks during the evening. We played euchre, and I beat him eight games out of ten, but he did not call me a scoundrel and cheat. Indeed, he frankly knowledged that I was too much for him. A fighter called at a late hour to try to sell Mr. Bowser a snake watch, but he wasn't even threatened. I have almost a mind to consult the family doctor about it. A Premonition. Wednesday.—Still no kicks as he got out of bed. As he came down to breakfast I saw the cat look at him in a strange way, and the cook was really frustrated. No kicks over breakfast. As he went away he said he would bring home tickets for the theater, and he left me dumb with asonishment. I felt a premonition of coming disaster all day, and when a street boy threw a stone and broke a window I got ready to face the inevitable. There was no inovitable, however. When Mr. Bows came home he said that such accidents were liable to happen at any time, and that I didn't worry over it. In going to the theater we had to stand up in the car and were allowed and --- Hawkins-Johnson MANUFACTURING CO., Hair Grower and Restorer, 616 N. 1st Street. = Richmond, Va.

Answer to yesterday's parade, William Penn. Picture right side down in coat sleeve. Joostel and the conductor felt us out of 15 cents in making change, but Mr Bowser made no lick. He was much interested in the play, and when he returned home he said he didn't know when he had spent so much pleasure evening. I was delighted, of course, but yet I felt a child at my heart. Something awful is surely going to happen Thursday Morning. I got up before Mr Bowser was awake and decided he would not cook in an hour to hear the old man tell me what he had done, but I do not know what he did. He is making lunch before the fire has been fresh, and I am going to oversee the fire again, but he did not come to the kitchen. I scattered the oranges in the kitchen with the flour, and about ten minutes later the mother came in, but he sat at the table, but he walked over them. I looked at the family doctor during the afternoon, but he could not cover up the mystery. He had known such sad changes to mean death written a few days, and advised me to be watchful. When Mr Bowser came home from the office I had a poor dinner for him, and I also informed him that the coal was out and a water pipe holding the soft, sweet smile never left his face. During the evening he said that he had made a fool of himself a hundred times ever since our marriages, but that he had solemnly determined to keep clear of all fills in the future. The cook called me downstairs and wanted to know if Mr. Bowser wasn't going to carry on any more, and when I said it was doubtful she gave me a week's notice. Things had become too lonely for her, A Dream of Tragedy. Friday. Same peaceful getting out of bed and eating breakfast. I insisted that he couldn't eat well, but he replied that his health was never better. He had hardly left the house before I telephoned his symptoms to mother and asked her opinion. She replied that he would probably try subside within a week, and that I had better look up all the poison in the house. When he came home at night I was lying on the lounge and pretending to have a terrible headache. Instead of saying that it served me right for overeating or going barefoot and then whistling and stampling around to add to my suffering, he sat down and told me how sorry he was and did all he could to alleviate the pain. I had to get up and eat dinner with him and pretend to be cured. We had a little spelling school during the evening, and, though I spelled him down a dozen times, he only soulsuded it. I told him the cook had broken two plates that day, but he replied that all crackery was made to be broken. I asked for a new hat and he gave me the money without a word about the poor house. I tried to get him to go to the club, but he said he preferred his own home. The cook went upstairs very much afraid, and I went to bed to dream of tragedies. Saturday.

The Scrap Book The big circus of Barnum & Bailey was not always under one management. For many years Mr. Bailey ran a small show of his own, doing his best in the small towns, while Mr. Barnum stopped only at the large cities. At this time Bailey owned the big elephant, Jumbo, the largest in captivity. Barnum had sent his agents to purchase it, but without avail. Mr. Bailey refused to set a price. Then Mr. Barnum telegraphed to his com petitor: I will give you $10,000 for Jumbo. No answer came. On the third day he passed through a small town where Bailey was to show on the following day. Every billboard in town was plastered with monster reproductions of his identical message and signature, mixed in with the usual advertising of the Bailey show. With a grin Barnum turned to his assistants. "It isn't Jumbo we want," he told them; "it's Bailey." The next year it was Barnum & Bailey. We'll 8aa When we would beg for childish joy, For schames enchanting sigh. There always was a certain phrase That made our hopes beat high. She made no promise, gave no hint. Yet we were filled with glee. More than we dreamed would come to pass When mother said, "We'll see." She gives no promise, makes no hint. Yet belles will surely be. Meet that she dreams they come to pass. For mother said: "We'll see." — McLaddburgh Wilson Reached the Limit. Dr. Harvey W. Willey told in an ad dress in Washington a story apropos of food adulteration. "There was a man," he said, "who manufactured no called aliver spoons. A dealer bought largely from him, but was always clamoring for a lower price. "But I can't lower the price, the manufacturer would say, 'unless I put in more lead.' "All right—more lead, by all means." Thus the dealer would reply. "Then one week the dealer wired that he would take an enormous consignment of spoons if the price were cut a further 10 per cent. "I can't cut the price another penny,' the manufacturer wired back. "That is more lead,' wired the dealer. "Impossible,' was the manufacturer's reply. 'Last let I shipped you were all lead.'"

Salting a Diamond Mine. Historic Du Bois, the noted mining engineer, told a good story illustrating the "art" of salting a diamond also. The story was told of a man in South Africa who, while walking one day over his property, suggested that they assay some of the soil. In the search that ensured eight rough diamonds were found and offers began to fly through the air at a rapid rate for the land, when the host's wife called out to her husband, "Why, John, where are the other two?" The sequel to the story was left to the imagination. Boston Record. Beard Veraus Brains. Colonel T. Donnelly Bennett of Elberton, Ga., by some special dispensation of Georgia law was a lawyer and practiced when he was seventeen. His first case was as assistant to the district attorney in the prosecution of a man accused of murder. The defended man for his lawyer are elderly and dignified member of the bar, who wore a long, flowing, voluminous beard. The bearded lawyer resented the interference of the youth Bennett and constantly referred to him as "this beardless youth from South Carolina." Bennett took it all in good part with the other lawyer began to rub him. Then he rose and said: "May it please your honor, during my somewhat brief experience at the bar I have had the pleasure of reading after such distinguished law writers as Blackstone, Coke and Littleton, and if I rightfully interpret them it takes brains and not beard to make a lawyer. "However, if these distinguished law writers be mistaken and the gentleman who appears for the defense is correct I take great pleasure in here and now nominating him for chief justice of the supreme court of the United States, as he has so much beard and so little brains that he is eminently qualified to fill that high position." — Saturday Evening Post. An Interesting Case In one of his letters Horace Walpole tells the story of a sailor who had broken his leg and was advised to communicate his case to the Royal society. The account he gave was that, having fallen from the top of the mast and fractured his leg, he had dressed it with nothing but tar and onkum, and yet in three days was able to walk as well as before the accident. The society was much interested, says Norman Pearson, who recounts the story in "Society Sketches In The Eighteenth Century," and asked for further details. The sailor persisted in declaring that he had used no other remedies, and a considerable correspondence passed between the parties. Finally, in a postscript to his last letter, the seaman told, "I forgot to tell your honors that the hat was a wooden one." HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Vapor Gaths. Even though you are careful to take a body bath each day, you have not done all that should be done to cleanse the body. There still remains that supreme cleaner—the home vapor bath. By means of hot steam every drop of blood can be brought to the surface of the body and there subjected to a purifying and renovating process, which is only second to the services rendered by the lungs. The blood returns to the vital organs nurtured and purified, and when this condition is firmly established it means that organic health will be yours. The intense heat also causes an excess glow of perspiration, which purifies the skin just as fully as a soap and water bath would. It is quite a simple thing to make a contrivance for a vapor bath. All that you need do is to secure a large wooden packing box, about 215 by 4 feet, that in height comes just above the shoulders. The box will, of course, have no lid, and the bottom should also be removed. The removed bottom of the box should now be divided into two half lids for the tops and attached with hinges, after a half circle has been cut away from the center of each where they meet, thus leaving an opening large enough to fit about the throat. A chair should now be placed in the box over a large pan of toiling water, and upon this chair the beauty devotee should sit. The door is now latched, the lid shut down, and there you are, securely fastened in a real vapor cabinet. Feith and Works. Twas an unhappy division that has been made between faith and works. Though in my intellect I may divide them, just as in the candle I know there are both light and heat, but yet put out the candle and they are both gone—one remains not without the other. So 'tis betwixt faith and works—John Jelden. SAVE THE MINUTES. SAVE THE MINUTES.

The honor of each teach-back 160 years, who had found it worth in his time among the most of uninhibited daydreams and dollars of land. By a sort of instinct or choice, Princeton床, gravitated toward an artist-rate. Litterty the patient, bad come to be known as "the no-charming country club in America" its retiring bed had answered it impossible that it should be other than alege for rich men's sons. Whatever may have been exposition of him, it was impossible for the new president, who, by the way, was the first hayman to occupy the chair, to fall into the careful tradition of the office. It was impossible for him merely to institute a few necessary reforms and let things go on much as before. He had so severely been immigrated when everybody became aware that for good or all, the judgment day had dawned over the quiet campus and the twisted halls. There was to be no lack of initiative, no fearfulness and tremlining before novel proposals, no blishing of responsibility, no failure to perceive There was to undue precipitation President Wilson spent a year studying conditions, the already knew the pretty well from his new vantage point. He did not however, feet away necessity of awaiting the lapse of year before undertaking to bring the scholarship and the discipline of the school up to what the already were paper. Students who failed to prepare their examinations were dropped, 45% or poor, with or without social work. Work was almostly demanded. There was of course an immense sensation when the little student found that from the day forth the must be worked. Work had not been a University tradition. The repercussions of indifference rushed through the skies for several years until there came in a new kind of students, prepared and willing to come up to the new standards. During that first year, he a com- mitter on research of the course of study was appointed to report the fiel- lowing year. If Princeton was to be a place of work it was to be funnel work, work worth doing, worth training your year- out of a young room life to do it. It was to be a new president. Wil- son saw it and politically phrased it, work that would fit a young man to serve his country better. He even went so far as to say that he wanted the university to make its graduates henceforth as unlike their fathers as possible by which, of course, he meant that fathers, being settled in their opinions and in inference for what is established, have a part to play different from that of sons, who particularly must sympathize with the reactive and reformative processes of life and society. That saying blanched the check of many an elderly Primarian; it was spoken in an understanding of the necessity of opening college doors to the new facts which modern science has added to the store of human knowledge; spoken also in appraisal of the new social conscience that has been born in the world, though it is slow in coming to the birth in colleges. If it had fallen to President Ellot of Harvard to proclaim the new age in which the old educational ideas had ceased to suffice, Princeton, under the presidency of Wilson, now took up the completing work of positively constructing a system which should contain the new ideas, the new subjects, and not only contain them, but organize them, co-ordinate them, put them into proper sequence and relation. President Wilson's committee after months of labor, the freed and enthusiastic labor of eager men, promulgated a revised, or, rather, new system of collegiate study. It was the first positive attempt made to bring the new college education into intelligent and systematic relationship as a body of discipline. All interested in education know of the revolution brought by the "department system" that has ever since provailed at Princeton. While it offered the widest scope for the "election" of studies, it practically assured that the studies "select all" should lead to one settled purpose—that is, it intelligently co-ordinated a student's work. It turned him out of college not with a smattering of a thousand subjects, but with a pretty thorough training in some one broad sense of subjects. President Wilson is entitled to the credit of presiding over this revision it was a first evidence and result of first principle of Wilson's mind which WOODROW WILSON The Story of His Life From the Cradle to the White House By WILLIAM BAYARD HALE Copyright, 1941, 1952, by Doubleday, Page & Co. Grenands coordination and right relationship, and it was the first step to ward the transformation of Princeton into a university for the people. President Wilson's next step was to commit Princeton to the revolution that has come about with the adoption of the pre-optical system. It was the idea that the university had grown to large better to train its students merely through lectures and examinations. There was no provision for the students outside of the classrooms. When they did come where, where they lived what they tasted about, with whom they associated, what books they read what ideas of life were held up before them with all those the university in the days before had nothing to the Fifteenth hour a week in lecture room represented the only opportunity presented by the faculty to "educate" the men. At this, said the president, must be changed. These young men must not be turned out into the street to go and come without direction, without proper autonomy, without instruction, during the other 150 hours of the week. His idea was to put the students more intimately into association with a body of young instructors who were to attend the undergraduate friendly companionship and overnight. Former restitutions were largely abolished. Men studied subjects; they did not merely "take courses." The cost of the pre-emotional system was very great, and unfortunately $100 a year. It was determined to raise at least a part of this cost bycriptions from the animal. Possibly this determination was a prudent action, for it gave the animal an influence and voice in the management of the university especially. It gave them a degree of control over the non-binary system which does not thus far be particularly happy in its results. The pre-emotional system was established and became a distinctive feature of Princeton life. In connection with the new curriculum it worked call it a utraste and you use none too strong a word. It created a new Princeton. The minds of hundreds of syllables were enriched and stimulated to place possessed with a new sort of creativity and欲. Prison or university, which, when the last president recognized was in a case that, according to a trustee of the day, its current administration to serve in its entire extension as an important educational influence in America, was affirming the surplus affection of the country. It had a constructive program. It had a leader and a nonfamous faculty, and it had at least an nephewless board of trustees. Alas, that the further steps in that program the further ends to what the leaders' clear vision and firm pose looked meant democracy. Alas, that the educational revolution cannot have proceeded without having irreversent hand on what the spirit of old Princeton recognized as the second attack of social privilege. Alas, that it showed so much more concern for manhood than for money. CHAPTER VIII R. WILSON had served five years as president of Princeton university before he reached the point of irresponsible conflict. So long as he confined himself to the strictly educational workings of the school he had been allowed to have his way without much opposition. But now, his constructive mind reached over to the student's social life and undertook to organize that and bring it into proper relationship with the other elements of university life, he found that he had put his hand upon what the guardians of the aristocratic institutions were really interested in and what they were not disposed to see changed. In brief, his idea was the organization of the university in a number of "colleges" or "quadranglems"—practically dormitories—each of which should harbor a certain number of men from every class, with a few of the younger professors. President Wilson secured the appointment of a committee consisting of seven of the trustees to investigate the merits of the "quad" proposal, and at the June (1907) meeting the committee reported on "the social coordination of the university." Indording Mr. Wilson's plan. The report of this committee was accepted and its recommendation adopted with only one dissenting vote, twenty-five of the twenty-seven trustees being present, at the June meeting. What was amiss with the "quad" proposal? This—that it cut into the aristocratic social structure which the dominating element in Princeton had erected for its self. If, visiting Princeton, you will proceed to the top of a street known as Prospect avenue and pass down it you will see something which probably is not paralleled at any seat of learning in the world. Prospect avenue is lined with clubhouses, twelve of them with handmade buildings, beautiful lawns and tennis courts and, in the case of the more favored clubs on the south side of the street, a delightful view across the valley to the eastward Some of the clubhouses are sumptuous comparing very favorably with the best city clubs. Their aggregate value must be much more than $1,000,000 The clubs house on an average thirty members each - fifteen juniors and fifteen seniors, about 350 in all, juniors and seniors alone being eligible. Three hundred other members of those classes can get into no club. From this idea has grown up this dominating feature of Princeton life, estranged from the university and yet having more to do with the real forming of its students than any other feature of the college life. No one can reflect for a moment upon this club system without understanding its essentially vicious character The trouble is that the clubs necessarily constitute an artistry in the midst of a community which should above all things, be absolutely democratic. It may be all very well for the 800 youths who enjoy the delights of the Ivy, the Cap and Gown, the Colonial, Tiger Inn and the rest (though such luxury is of questionable value to a boy who has yet to make it way in the world, but what of the 800 young men who have not been able to "make" one of them? They for themselves extirpated and humiliated and the seeds of social bitterness arewn in their souls. There is no provision for them outside of common boarding houses. Not a few leave the university. Worse yet, rivalry for admission to the clubs is so great that it injures the work of the freshmen and sophomores. The first term of the sophomore year especially is considered to be entirely wrecked by the absorption of the students in candidating for the club elections held that spring. Slightly is membership in a swager club regarded that parents of prospective students have been known to begin visits to Princeton a year or two before their son entered college with the purpose of organizing a social campaign to land him in the club to whom he be applied. It may easily be seen how the existence of these select coteries minister to snobbery, how they foster tending, how they introduce a worldly material and unnatural element into what is naturally one of the finest things in the world—a democracy of boys; how they set up at the outset of a student's career a mistaken idea, an unworthy aim, and how they divide students along unnatural lines. Over and over again Princeton sees a group of congenial fellows of the Incoming freshman class gravitate toward each other in the first few weeks of the term and then, in oblivion to some sudden, mysterious influence from Prospect avenue, dissolve. The spirit of the place does not allow men to form friendly and natural associations in accordance with their tastes and dispositions. They must always strive multitask to become friends of those particular classmates who have the best chance of "making" the best clubs, and as "the human" passes "down the line" from Project avenue the prospects of one and another student wax awake, and the character of the careers in which he himself goes up and down. The social life of the two lower classes presents such a picture as would a layer of from dislike over which a magnet is passed, forming groups now here, now there, and keeping all in constant confusion. In the words of President Wilson, the salesman had swallowed up the circus. Nothing could be more an American, nothing could be more opposed to the true principles of education. We approach now one of the most dramatic, as it is one of the most in- volved, chapters in the life of any American institution of learning-induced, a chapter, if it could be rightly told, not often excused in interest in any story of American life. A circular setting forth in outline President Wilson's "quad" proposal was sent to the various clubs and was generally read there on the Friday night before commencement, 1907. Princeton alumni, particularly those from the eastern cities, come back in large numbers to their alma mater and usually put up at the clubhouses, where the Friday night preceding commencement is given over to a jolly dinner. The "quad" proposal, it was instantly seen contemplated the doing away of the clubs. It was even said that President Wilson proposed to condescend them. The wrath of the alumni jolifting that night in Prospect avenue was instantly aroused, and the shout of battle was raised. No decent consideration was ever given the new idea. The grieved graduates went home to spread stories of the attack on Princeton's favorite institutions and rally the old boys to their defense. Old Princetonians got busy and wrote distressed letters to the Alumni Weekly, expressing their grief and astonishment that a Princeton president should so far forget himself as to try to "make a gentleman chum with a muckler." The trustees, who had voted the plan through with but a single dissenting voice, were frightened by the alumni bowl, were persuaded to reconsider. On Oct. 17 the board requested President Wilson to withdraw the proposal. The inimitable right of the American college youth to choose his own hatband and compel other youths to wear untrimmed headgear was thus triumphantly vindicated. But the saviors of the club system were not generous in victory. They continued to hurt insults upon President Wilson. It was now discovered that he was a domineering, brutal, bigoted, inconsiderate and untruthful demagogue. The preceptorial system, which had been in operation for two years, with everybody's approval, was now also attacked. President Wilson was even charged with having inaugurated it over the heads of the faculty. Various classes among the alumni withdrew their subscriptions for the support of preceptors. It took only a few months of this sort of thing for the board of trustees, the Society and the alumai to find them selves divided beyond compromise. Lifelong friendships were broken. The chasm deepened, and pensions so violent that it would not have been deemed possible for a collegiate to possess them were aroused. It is a little difficult to see why the question should have provoked the astonishingly bitter light which now broke out at Princeton. To find the real cause of it all one must go deeper than the same presented on the surface, much deeper than the mere personality of the president. As to the latter, it is quite possible that Dr. Wilson's positive character, the certainty of his condescension and his aggressiveness in expressing them may have been distasteful to men long customed to other methods. It is even possible that the president was not as gentle in his manner, perhaps not always as trustful, as he might have been, as he has since become. Undoubtedly a man of exceeding charm of personality he had his grim side—no man descended from a line of Scottish Presbyterians. Mary and William Photo by American Press Association Mr. and Mrs. Wilson. ans has not-and, once arrived in a fight, he was a ruthless opponent. It seems to be the case that the president's reform program grew primarily out of his convictions as a teacher of young men. He did not, for instance, deliberately set about attack the Princeton clubs, but when the host gathered for the defense of an anarchistic institution because it was aristocratic, when they denounced him as a confessor, a leveler and a Socialist, the innate democracy of the man named up, and the light ceased to be a debate over educational ideals, having become an irresponsible conflict between democracy and privileged wealth. President Wilson continued to expound his ideas on the subject of the social organization of the university when invited to do so at gatherings of the alumna in various cities, but he made no aggressive campaign. The preceptorial system, in spite of the growing prejudice against it, continued in vogue, the necessary funds being voted by the trustees. [TO BE CONTINUED.] HOW TO CORRECT EYE STRAIN IN CHILDREN. Eye strain is said to be largely a defect of civilization. To counteract it children should be encouraged to use their eyes at long range, and older persons should so train themselves. A teacher who has a surprisingly small amount of eye strain among her pupils attributes it to her practice of having the scholars drop their work at the end of each hour and look out of the window. There is a contest over who sees farther. This rests and trains eyes and teaches observation. A woman who does the sewing for her living found her eyes strained and weak. She was advised to drop her sewing every half hour and look for a minute into space. Relief was quick, and the eye strain disappeared. Near sighted persons who hold their book or work close will ease eye strain and lengthen their vision if they frequently remove their glasses and look at some object on their furthest horizon. FAST TO BE BEAUTIFUL How to Lose That Listless, Sleepy, Logy Appearance. A good deal has been said in the past few years about fasting. Some people are for it and others against it, but after lifting the asheat from the chaff we find that fasting is of immense benefit in certain cases if it is not carried to extremes. When you are listless, sleepy and logy it might well be that a day's fast would be the means of waking you up both physically and mentally. Usually the sleepy woman, who feels as if she could not move a finger, is the victim of overeating. It sounds unromantic, and it is unromantic, but what else could I say? Facts are facts, you know. When our friend the dog has overeaten he has sense enough to refuse all proffered food until he is himself again. Surely a human being ought to possess as much discretion as a dog.

"I lied to the American government for ten months, telling them that the Mexican revolution would be over in six weeks. I was forced to invest my diplomatic mission with a domino and mask." This statement was made by Manuel Calero, formerly Mexican ambassador to the United States, during the discussion of the loan measure in the senate at Mexico City, Mex. He continued: "The truth is that the department of finance has not painted the situation as it really is. We should speak the truth though it destroys us. The truth is that the situation is desperate." Senor Calero's speech created a tremendous sensation among those present in the senate. Berneto Madero, minister of finance, replied, calling Manuel Calero "an indiscreet ambassador and a bad financier." Belloved Millionaire's Son Fell From Cilw in a Dome. The body of S. Homer Everett, the young society, club and business man of Cleveland, Ohio, who mysteriously disappeared last Saturday night, was found on the shore of Lake Erie in Lakewood, at the foot of a high cliff. It is believer that Everett, who had been taken sick at a house warming wandered out in a daze and fell over the cliff. Everett's body was found by four young clerks, who had obtained leave of absence from work in order to look for Everett, and who probably will divide the $1000 reward offered by Syvester Everett, the young man's millionaire father. They spied a dark object on a narrow shelf at the base of the cliff, which is sixty feet high at this point. A rope was obtained and one of the party was lowered to the body, which was immidiately identified. DON'T BELIEVE IN KISSING Mrs. Theresa E.

Ten persons are dead and a score wounded as a result of a battle between strikers and the authorities near Mucklow, W. Va., in the Kana-wha coal strike district. Seven of the dead are strikers and three were members of the mine guards and railroad police. Of the injured fifteen are said to be strikers and the rest guards. Five companies of state militia are now at Mucklow, having been ordered to the troubled district by Governor William E. Glacecock. Striking miners marching toward Mucklow were met in the mountains by a posse under Fred Lester, a former captain of the West Virginia national guard, now in the employ of the coal company. A sharp engagement followed. A bookkeeper and two mine guards were shot dead and several others were wounded. Lester and his men were slowly driven back, fighting all the while. Reinforcements from other mine companies, railroad police and deputy sheriffs joined Lester's men, but with little success. The miners steadily advanced, pouring a but fire into the ranks of the officers. Three Killed In Crash Coroner Halver Harley, of Pleas antville, near Atlantic City, N. J., has started a probe to establish responsibility for a collision which cost the lives of three men and narrowly missed causing a big railroad wreck and heavy casualties, when a bridge train from Broad street station, Philadelphia, crashed into a ponderous automobile moving van of the Petry-Silicon company, of Trenton, at the Shore road crossing of the Pennsylvania railroad at Absecon, ten miles from Atlantic City. Robert C. Race, Clarence Raldsauff and George Corbett, the crew of the van, all residents of Trenton, were the three victims. Race was killed in the crash; the others died later of their injuries. The train is said to have been going seventy miles an hour at the time. The joint of the collision shook up the passengers. One was bruised by he was thrown against a car seat. ROCKEFELLERQUIZ SUDDENLYHALTED After Few Questions Witness Shows Signs of Collapse. Financier Is In Pititable Condition and Doctor Declared He Was on Verge of Spasm of the Larynx and Death Might Ensue. After an examination of scarcely twelve minutes at Jekyll Island, Ga., by Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the house "money trust" investigating committee, William Rockefeller, the aged Standard Oil magnate, showed signs of a laryngeal spas* and indications of an approaching nervous collapse. On the insistence of his physician the examination of Mr. Rockefeller was then discontinued. Representative Pujo, chairman of the probe committee, made the following statement: "Mr. Rocketcider's condition is simply pitable. He not only shakes like a leaf all over his body, but after the first question he began to cough convulsively and it was evident that he was laboring under great exertion and that he was on the verge of collapse. "He had to whisper slowly the few words he spoke into the ear of the stenographer who sat beside him. This he did with the greatest difficulty, shakkin like a leaf all the while. "Such a thing as an examination would be impossible. As soon as Dr. Chappell intervened and requested, he hearing proceed no further in a ground stated by him to Mr. Fare myer. I felt that it would be dangerous and inhuman to go further and I thus upon order set the suspension of the examination." Mr. Untermyer asked Mr. Rockefeller several preliminary questions and then inquired if he recalled the organization of the Anadagamated Copper company. "I do," Mr. Rockefeller replied. "Was it in 1897?" Mr. Untermyer went on. With a great effort Mr. Rockefeller replied, "I think it was in 1899." He did not complete the sentence. The action of the muscles of his face and the secretion from his mouth evidently prepared the choking spell that Dr. Chappell learned. The physician interfereed. Dr. Chappell said: "Mr. Chairman, I would like to take the liberty of demanding your attention to Mr. Rockefeller's condition at the present moment. He is showing some symptoms which precede these spasms of the larynx, and I strongly urge you not to proceed, as in doing so you are certainly endangering life at the present moment. You can see his general shaking now, and he is now on the verge of a spasm of the larynx which might choke him." Mr. Rockefeller dragged back his chair, with a weak, tired expression as he heard the physician say that his end might be at hand. He looked pitially from the chairman to the attorney for the verdict. Mr. Pujol insisted in the following form that Dr. Chappell swear that death might result from a continuation of the examination. "Do you solently wear that the statement you have made with reference to the present condition of Mr. Rockefeller: is true and according to your knowledge as a physician and your judgment as an expert?" "I do," for Chappell replied. Mr. Untermyer, facing square about then said to Mr. Rockefeller: "Mr. Rockefeller, you have heard Dr. Chappella's statement. Do you feel in such a condition that you think it unsafe to proceed further?" "I certainly do," replied Mr. Rockefeller, still through his stenographer. Chairman Pulo then made the following formal statement for the record: "The chair states that, in view of the Declaration by Dr. Chappel under oath and also of the witness, that no further proceedings will be had at this time." Tar and Burn Negro. On Friday another negro who, it was believed, had murdered Mrs. Williams, was lynched. The victim of the lynching was taken to the square and chained to an iron post. A kettle of tar was poured over him and faggots were piled about him. He was allowed to talk for a short time. Then a brother of Mrs. Williams touched a match to the dry wood. Tucker had scarcely begun to feel the effects of the heat when the father of Mrs. Williams elbowed his way through the throng and shot the negro four times. The negro, according to responsible citizens, admitted the crime and said that Andrew Williams, who was lynched on Friday, took the body of the woman from her home and threw it into the pit where it was found. Wife Conference. Murder Mrs. Lige Gilmore, of Webb City, Mo., has confessed to the police that she and James Lynn murdered her husband. Both are under arrest and are charged with first degree murder. Mrs. Gilmore declared that the crucibles inflicted by her husband during twenty-two years of married life had become unbearable. She said she and Lynn planned the murder last summer. Mrs. Gilmore said she induced her husband to take her to a moving pl ture show. On the way home she saked him to take a short cut up an alley. In the alley she said Lynn fired the fatal shot. Gilmore staggered and said: "My God, honey, I'm killed!" After shooting Gilmore, she said, Lynn took the gun and beat him over the head. Mrs. Cleveland Becomes a Bride. Mrs. Grover Cleveland and Thomas J. Presston, Jr., were married by Joan Grier Hibben, president of Princeton university, in Prospect, the executive residence of the university in Princeton, N. J. No preliminary announcement had been made of the marriage, and the utmost simplicity was observed in the ceremony. Because of the recent illness of Mr. Preston the wedding was private, the other guests, in addition to the members of the two immediate families, being President and Mrs. Hibben, Mrs Elizabeth Hibben and Andrew F. West, dean of Princeton's graduate school. The bride wore a simple white silk gown and carried a bouquet of white Killarney roses. The wedding breakfast was served at Prospect immediately after the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Preston will spend the remainder of the winter in Florida. No announcement cards were sent out. Kill Official and Nurse. Edouard Pelletier, a high official of the French department of justice, was murdered in his residence in Paris. A woman nurse, who was attending him, also was killed. The double murder is bifled to have been committed by an uncaptured accomplice of the gang of automobile bandits, whose trial is going on in Paris. It is supposed that the crime was intended as an act of vengeance and warning. Pelletier formerly was chief of the bureau of pardons at the ministry of justice, but had been ill for some time. He was a man of considerable wealth. He was found strangled in a chair in his library. The nurse's body lay in another room, where, from all appearances, she had been hacked to death with an axe. About $1000 in cash was stolen. Wife Beater Whipped As a penalty for wife beating, Robert Phillips, a municipal employee, was given fifteen lashes in the Frederick, Mt. jail. Phillips was contended to sixty days in jail or allowed the privilege of paying a fine of $25. He refused both and chose to take the lashes. It was the first public whipping in Frederick, for years, and the lashing was witnessed by a large crowd. As there is no whipping post in the jail, the man was tied to a jail door, with all his clothing but a thin gauze shirt removed. --- Milkmen Fined $6000; Raised Price The Minnesota Milk company and A. R. Rumanke, its president, were each fined $200 in the district court in Minnesota. Milan.
