FIFTY YEARS. (A Song of Emancipation, 1863-1913) By LUCIAN B. WATKINS. Lo! fifty years of gains and losses, Fifty years. Of blessed joys and cruel crosses, Fifty years; But, we have kept our souls o'er singing. And sheaves of life we still are bringing. For unto faith we have been clinging Fifty years. Our palsied limbs have grown and strengthened, Fifty years. The measures of our minds have longthened, Fifty years; Since we have felt our hands un fettered. And had our reasons trained and lettered. Ah, surely, surely, we are bettered Fifty years! The reaches of our thoughts have heightened, Fifty years. Our darkling lives have been en- lightened, Fifty years; Our hearts have kept the upward yearning. Our aspirations have been burning. As sunns above our fields of earning, Fifty years. Our wounded spirits have been healing Fifty years. Yet newer pain we have been feeling Fifty years; Our fates and fortunes have been shifting. But we have dreamed the dreams unplifting. And light has through our clouds been lifting. Fifty years. We've felt the noble need of living, Fifty years. And grown a little more forgiving, Fifty years; We've raised our aims a little higher. And felt within the fervent fire That to our goal has brought us higher, Fifty years. But, we have felt less need of sighing, Fifty years. A little less afraid of dying, Fifty years; Our eyes have grown a little brighter, Our grip of zeal a little tighter. For right we've grown a braver fight- We've seen upon the mount of Duty Fifty years. Immortal visions-grand in beauty. Fifty years. Our purest efforts have been standing. And building for the heights commanding. We've felt our wings of worth expanding, Fifty years. We've had our Douglas!—loved his teaching. Fifty years. And tried to mount his upward reaching, Fifty years. We've viewed the grave of John Brown sleeping. (That Stephen stoned to our sad weeping.) And felt the honor oer him sweeping Fifty years. In spite of odds, we have been racing Fifty years. And tracks of swiffer runners tracing Fifty years: Fifty years; In spite of weights of woe apalling. In spite of stumbling and of falling.— "On! on!" we've heard the mighty bailing. Fifty years. In spite of all the ways of evil. Fifty years. We've somehow follied the scheming Devil. Fifty years; We've broken barriers of iron, Have beaten back the warring lion, And moved a little nearer Zion. Fifty years. Our ship of progress has been parting, Fifty years. Fifty years. The threatening waves of danger starting. Fifty years; Our flag of Freedom has been streaming. Above where high our hopes are gleaming. Our breaths of labor have been steaming. Fifty years. Life!—we have paid for thee thy wages. Fifty years. Have written in thy Book of Ages. Fifty years; Thy deeds of Truth we have been sounding, Uprooting Ignorance confounding, And Character eternal mounding, Fifty years: O, surely, Time, thou didst not sprinkle, Fifty years, Our altar with the blood of Lincoln, Fifty years; And all in vain! Surely a hearing Of all our prayers, today, is nearing, And that our skies have been but clearing, Fifty years. World! thou hast seen and read our story, Fifty years, Whate'er it is of shame or glory, Fifty years; Whate'er our virtues and our sinnings Whate'er our failures and our win- nings, Whate'er our outings and our innings, Fifty years.

Cayton editor of a colored newspaper, lost his suit for $15,000 damages against a restaurant proprietor who asked him not to patronize his place. Superior Judge Ronald upheld the contention of the defence that Cayton was not deprived of his civil rights. According to the evidence Cayton after his first appearance in the restaurant was asked not to come again. He did come again, when served, not charged for the meal and again requested not to eat there. When the case came up in January last Cayton was not permitted to testify on the ground that he had served a term in the Kansas State penitentiary for perjury committed in Gorham county, Kansas. Cayton married a daughter of former United States Senator Revela of Mississippi and is prominent in those colored community. Baptist General Association Here The fifteenth annual session of the Baptist General Association of Virginia has been in session at the Second Baptist Church since Wednesday morning. Rev. Z. D. Lewis, D. D. is presiding officer and Rev. A. A. Graham, D. D. of Phoebun, Va. secretary. The sessions have been well attended. The closing exercises were held at the City Auditorium. DR. JAMES E. JACKSON EXONERATED. Dr. James E. Jackson of $25 W.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1913. JACK JOHNSON GUILTY. Colored Pugilist Convicted on Each of Seven Counts in Indictment. Chicago, May 13.—Jack Johnson, the colored pugilist, was found guilty on seven counts of an indictment charging him with violating the Mann white slave act. The verdict was returned late tonight. Johnson took the stand during the afternoon and repudiated the testimony of Belle Schreiber, the white woman whose alleged relations with him resulted in the Federal indictment. He denied any immoral purpose in sending the money to the woman, and told about spending $9,000 or $10,000 in furnishing a flat for her and her mother and in maintaining them. GRATIFYING INFORMATION. Richmond, Va., May 10, 1913. Dear Mr. Mitchell: The enclosed clipping in my opinion is worthy of your editorial comment: "W. J. Harrell, a street car conductor, was tried in the Hustings Court on the charge of striking James E. Jackson, colored, over the head with a switch handle. He was fined $100 and costs." You do not ride on the local street cars, I am one of that 30,000 Negroes who are forced to and can testify as to the discriminating treatment of some of the conductors. It is gratifying at this junction to note that if we go to court armed with the facts and in the right and have a reputable lawyer we can get justice. Our fellow citizen Jackson is to be congratulated on his vindication. The effect that verdict will have on the ruffian element off the Va. R. and P. Co. crews cannot be but helpful to us and we hope that in future such expressions as "Move back there nigger" and "Why don't you know where you want to get off before you got on?" etc. will be a thing of the past. Joint Initiation at Pythian Castle. On last Wednesday night eight Esquires were advanced to the rank of Knighthood in a joint communication held by Ben Hur Lodge, No. 96 and Crystal Lodge, No. 158, Knights of Pythias. Each lodge met in its own room and after all regular business had been transaction they merged and proceeded to confer the rank upon the Esquires. The work was in charge of Col. Roscoe C. Mitchell, C. C. of Crystal Lodge, assisted by Sr Frank Holmes, C. C. of Ben Hur Lodge, Maj. W. F. Weaver, Capt. Leroy Brown and the officers and members of both lodges. COURTS OF CALISTHE.

Holmes of Richmond, Va., who arrived at Broad Street Station Friday, May 9th and was met by State Deputy and N. I. Lecturer Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Thompson who took him to the beautiful residence of Mr. and Mrs. John L. Holmes, 1811 Christian St., where his stay was very, very pleasant. Saturday morning he held an official conference at the hall 1134 Pine Street, where much good was done for the good of the order. While in session he was briefly interviewed by the Philadelphia Tribune representative, Mr. G. Grant Williams, Mr. G. G. Williams is a staunch member of Northern Ideal Lodge, No. 22.

C., Charles H. Madden. He arose amidst applause and cheers and delighted his audience as the told of the past and present good and its prospects for the future. Just ten months old and had added three hundred and seventy-five members fit the month of April and every death claim paid to date. Indeed he was at his heats. At the close of this able address he had the presiding Masters to ascend the rostrum and in most beautiful words presented the charters under which the lodges will work. The same were received with pledges that they would be chorished and dedicated. At this time enthusiasm was running high and speech making was the order of the evening. The Misses Kathrine L. Rainy and Ruth Shockley, Jr. ushers were highly complimented for the way in which they handled the crowd. Mr. Phillex J. Webb with his corps of lady waitresses in white looked after the inner man in a most pleasing manner. Every one left well pleased and determined to do all in their power to build the National Ideal Benefit Society. Sunday morning, accompanied by his brother, Mr. J. L. Holmes, he visited the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Rev. W. F. Graham, D. D. pastor, who with his officers and members made him perfectly at home.

President Woods Visits Philadelphia in the Interest of Educational Work Saturday, April 19th I arrived in Philadelphia, where I was met by the evs. J. M. Moses, B. D. and C. C. Scott, B. D. and then seen to the beautiful home of Dr. and Mrs. W. F. Graham, which is located in one of the fashionable sections of that great city. There I added and enjoyed the numerous kindnesses of Dr. and Mrs. Graham. Sunday morning in company with Dr. Graham, the pastor, I went to Holy Trinity Baptist Church, for the morning service. Promptly at 11:00 A. M., the pastor touched a button in his study and simultaneously the organ and choir started their music. On entering the auditorium from the study a sea of upturned faces greeted us. DR. GRAHAM'S WORK It is hard for one to realize the great good that this man of God has done during such a short stay in that city. The congregation of Holy Trinity, is as far advanced over its former times as it is possible for a congregation to be. I witnessed one of the greatest meetings I think that it has been my good pleasure to attend. Dr. Graham has not only a great audience in numbers, that he has worked up, but he has a great one from every angle. The church and city people honor Dr. Graham. He is also president of the Philadelphia Minister's Conference. He is demonstrating his fitness as a leader in this capacity. Plainly speaking he is living up to his record made in Virginia, that is a natural born leader. IN AFTERNOON TO CHESTER Sunday afternoon I went to Chester, to be with our noted friend Dr. A. Gordon, who is pastoring the First Baptist Church of that city. On short notice Dr. Gordon gave us a good audience and we had a splendid meeting. My stay was short in Chester, but Dr. and Mrs. Gordon made it pleasant for me in home and church. Dr. Gordon is rendering good service in Chester and accomplishing much for God and humanity MONUMENTAL AT NIGHT. Returning from Chester, I went to the residence of Rev. and Mrs. J. M. Moses. There I met Revs. C. C Scott and C. D. Trent. After spending some pleasant minutes with them in company with the pastor, Rev. Moses, I went to Monumental Baptist Church, where in the evening service a large apprehensive audience greeted us. Monumental Church is a good one, and they have in Rev. Moses, a pleasing and energetic pastor. Monumental is proud of him and that justly so. Rev. Moses is doing real Christian work. His church is out of debt. On the Sunday of my visit he was endeavoring to raise Five Hundred Dollars, as a reserve fund, and to his great satisfaction more than Eight Hundred Dollars were raised. ADDRESSED BAPTIST CONFERENCE After visiting the Baptist Conference (white) where I said a word, in company with Drs. Graham and Parks, I went to Union Baptist Church where that preacher of preachers, Dr. W. G. Parks, pastors with grace and pleasure, to address the Ministers' Conference presided over by Dr. Graham. A great audience greeted me there and heard gladly and enthusiastically of our educational work in Virginia. This is a great conference, made up of great men, such as Drs. Graham Parks, Moore, Creditt, Gordon, Scott, Moses, Hall, Robinson, Tallafero, Goff, Jackson, Carter, Hestor, Winston, Tlighman, Jones and numbers of other prominent men in denomination and race. We witnessed here a great meeting full of righteous enthusiasm. These good and great divines are thoroughly interested in Virginia Theological Seminary and College. This they show in their generosity. Tuesday morning with Dr. Graham we called to see our good friends, Dr. and Mrs. W. T. Hall, who are happily located at Roxborough. Dr. Hall has an excellent church and church people there. Our moments with these good people were pleasantly spent. Slater Hall is having good health in Roxborough. Dr. Hall is moving things mightily in the right way. So soon, the people dearly love them. TUESDAY EVENING. moments in the Mrs. J. E. Carter, late company of to Puan Membri masted by the After pleasant home of Rev, am where we met a friends, we weat Baptist Church, genial Christian gentleman and Gospel messenger, Rev. C. C. Scott. Here we greeted a fine audience in size and make up. Many of the ministers of the city were with us in this meeting. Rev. Scott has a loyal people, who love him, because of his worth as a man, his fitness as a leader and preacher. This was a meeting in the interest of our work. Rev. Scott is also secretary of the Ministers' Conference. Philadelphia is astir for our educational work and these churches visited, with many others will be well represented at Hampton. Large sums of money will come to us from that city. My trip was a pleasing one from every point. Brethren I thank you one and all for your kindness. VISITED ROANOKE, VA. From Philadelphia, returning home and looking over the work, I wont to Roanoke, where I was the guest of the interdenominational Conference. The brothers had made arrangements for a large affair and they carried it out in great style. We were escorted from the station in automobile to the palatial residence of Dr. W. R. Brown, where a banquet was served before the evening meeting. This banquet was attended by all the city ministers, their wives and other visiting friends. At the banquet Rev. J. J. Jefferson was master of ceremonies, toasts were responded to by Dr. L. L. Downing of the Presbyterian Church, Dr. Saunders of the A. M. E. Church, Dr. Virgil of the M. E. Church, Dr. Burks, Brown and Moore of the Baptist Church and Mrs. Murff, returned missionary from South Africa. This affair was delightful to all. A committee of ladies headed by Mrs. W. R. Brown came in for much worthy praise. THE MEETING At First Church, pastored by Dr. Brown, a great audience of Roanokov select people greeted us. On the platform were ministers of all denominations, who had with them their members. Dr. W. D. Woods announced the purpose of the meeting. Dr. W. R. Brown presided. Prof. Duckwiller of Salem made brief and timely remarks. Dr. J. H. Burks Chairman of our Trustee Board, moved the audience to enthusiasm in well chosen words, presenting the speaker, the writer, for the evening, to represent our educational work. The audience heard us gladly and contributed liberally to the work. This was a notable meeting. Roanokov has a fine set of ministers of all denominations. They demonstrated their liberality in every way possible. Praise be to them one and all. I am your servant. R. C. WOODS. President of Virginia Theological Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Va.

KEZEKIAH PROLOGUE. Did you ever read a story in which humor of the finest and most delicious sort played the leading part? Did you ever tackle a tale which made you gasp by the originality of its ideas? Did you ever meet some utterly impossible persons who never lived and never could have lived and whom you might meet any day of your life? They're here, right here in this story. They have the most impossible adventures and get into the most impossible situations. Just as you or I might any day if the stage were set just right for us. Furthermore, they are very entertaining people, and they hold the interest from first word to finis. . CHAPTER I. My Friend Wiggins is introduced. DINED with Hartley Wiggins in the Hare and Tortoise on an evening in October not very long ago. It may be well to explain that the Hare and Tortoise is the smallest and most select of clubs, whose windows afford a pleasant view of Gramercy park. The club is comparatively young, and it is our joke that we are so for all tortoises, cropping through our several professions without aid from any bane I hastes to explain that I am a chimney doctor. Wiggins is a lawyer; at least I have seen his name in a list of graduates of the Harvard Law school, and he has an office downtown, where I have occasionally found him sedentary playing solitaire while he waited for some one to take him out to lunchroom. He spends his summers on a South Dakota ranch, from which he derives a considerable income. Wiggin's is an athlete, and his summers in the west and persistent training during the winter keep him in the condition. As I faced him tonight in our favorite corner of the Hare and Tortoise dining room the physical man was fit enough, but I saw at once that he was glum and disqualified. He had through many years honored me with his confidence, and I felt that tonight after we get well started I should hear what was on his mind. I hoped to cheer him with the story of a visit I had by chance paid that afternoon to the Asolando ten room, for, though Wiggin's is a most practical person, I imagined that he would be diverted by my description of a place which, I felt sure, nothing could tempt him to visit. I shall never forget the look he gave me when I remarked at about his third spoonful of soup. "By the way, I dropped into an old place this afternoon—Burne-Jones buns, Rossetti macarons and all that sort of thing. They call it the Asolando." I was ambling on, expecting to sharpen his curiosity, gradually as I recited the joys of the tea room, but of Isaando his spoon dropped, and he stared at me blankly. It should be known that Wiggins is not a man whose composure is lightly shaken. "The Isaando," I repeated, to break the spell of his blank stare. "Know the place?" He recovered in a moment, but he surveyed me quizzically before reply ing. "Of course I have heard of the Isaando, but I thought you didn't go in for that sort of thing. It's a trifle girlish, you know." "That's hardly against it! I found the girlish altogether attractive." "You always were tolerably sceptible, but bruised butterflies and moth wings' winged scum to me rather gale food for a man in your vigorous health." "They must have discriminated in your favor. I saw no such things though to be sure I was afraid to quibble over the waitress's suggestions. May I ask when you were there?" "Oh, I dropped in quite accidentally one day last spring. I saw the pigs and remembered that somebody had spoken of the place, and I was tired and it was a long way to the club and" Discrimination not an art as Winston's practice it at times. He is by nature the most straightfor ward of mortals. It was clear that he was with nothing, and I resolved to be the bottom of it. "I don't think the Auslander is a place that would attract either of us, and yet the vlands are good as such stuff goes, and the gentle handmaidens are restful to the eye—Pippa; Francesca, Gloria and the rest of 'em." Wiggins pried open his articelook with the cure of a botanist. He had regained his compassure, but I saw that The Siege of the Seven Suitors Copyright, 1910, by Meredith Nicholson the subject interested him. "You were there this afternoon?" he inquired. "Yes, my first and only appearance." "And this is Monday." "The calendar has said it." "So you settled your bill with Pippa I believe this was her day. She makes the change on Monday. Wednesday and Friday. Her cyclades are a trifle too long for the world's peace." "I dare say, I haven't your charming knack. Ames, of picking up acquaintances, so you mustn't expect me to form lifelong friendships with young women at cash deks. I suppose it didn't occur to you that those young women who tend till and serve the tables in there are persons of education and taste. The Asolando is not a common harbory. There's not a girl that place who hasn't a social position as good as yours or mine. The Asolando's a kind of fad, you know Ames; it's not a tavern within the meaning of the inkspeller's act, where common awine are fed for profit. The servants serve for love of the cause it's a sort of cult." Wiggins excused himself shortly and I had a glimpse of him later, in the writing room, engaged upon letters, a fact in itself disquieting, for Wiggins never wrote letters, and it was he who had favored making the Hare and Tortoise, writing room into a den for pipe smokers. The epistolary habit, he maintained, was one that should be discouraged. I was mostly turning over the evening newspaper when Jewett turned on Jewett always knows everything. He dropped the ball into the green of my immediate interest with a neat apronch shot. "Too bad about old Wiggins," he remarked with his predding sigh. "What's the matter with Wiggins?" I demanded. "Ah! He hasn't told you? Thought he told you everything." This was meant for a stinger, and I felt the bite of it. "You do me too much honor. Wiggins is not a man to throw around his confidence." "And I rather fancy that his love affairs in particular are locked in bosom." Jewett was a master of the art of suggestion. He took an unnecessarily long time to light a cigar so that words might sink deep into my consciousness. "Saw her last spring. Got a slight draft from the Bank of Erie. Followed her across the multitudinous Bang." "But Wiggy hasn't been abroad. Wiggy was on his Jokett ranch a summer. He still trained on the soil just as he is every fall." I perished. "Wrote you from out there, did not sent you, picture postals showing her herding his cattle or whatever the beasts are." Kept in touch with you at the time, did not: I told you his color is due to Switzerland, not Ivanka." "Wiggins isn't a letter writer nor sort of person who wants to paper you house with picture postals. His to writing doesn't mean that he wasn't on his runch," I replied, annoyed by Jew et's manner. "Never dropped you before, though I wager," he chirrupted. "I tell you he saw Miss Coelia Hollister at the Anolando teashop, just a glimpse, he almost immediately he went abroad a pursuit of her. The cheveller—that her Aunt Octavina—was along and another piece. My sister saw the time of them in Geneva, where the cheveller was breaking records. A whole tree of sultons followed them everywhere. My sister knows the girl—Coelia—she's known Wiggy all her life. She just home and told me about it last night. She thinks the cheveller has insured scheme for marrying on the girl. It's all very queer, our Wiggy being raised up in it." "Don't be absurd, Jewett. There nothing unusual in a man being in love. That's one fashion that doesn't change much. I venture to say that Wiggins will prove a formidable author. Wiggins is a gentleman, and the girl would be lucky to get him." "Quite right, my dear Ames; but alas, there are others. The competition is encouraged by the hunt, the veteran chevrolet. My sister says the chevler seems to favor the suit of Nebraska philosopher who rejoices in the melodious name of Dick." Jewett was playing me for all his story was worth and enjoying himself immensely. "For heaven's sake, go on!" "Also girl, this Cecilia. You know the Hollister—codes of money in the family. The cheveller's father scored big in baby buggies—responsible for the modern sleep inducing permeabilators; sold out to a trust. The father of Wiggins' innorata had started in to be a marine painter. A founder of this club, cease to think of it, but dropped out long ago. You have heard of him—Hassford's Hollister. Funny thing his having to give up art. Great gifts for the marine, but never could overcome tendency to seismicness Honest! Every time he painted a ware it upset him horribly. The doctors couldn't help him. Next tried his hand at the big guichen downtown. There was a chance there to hit off the metropolitan skyline and become immortal by doing it first, but a new trouble developed. Doing the high buildings made him diny! Honest! He was good, too, and would have made a place, he had to cut it out. He was so torn up over his two failures that he blew in his share of the perambulator money in riotous living. Lost his wife into the bargain and has settled down to a peaceful life up in Westchester county in one of these cute little bungalows the real estate operators build for you if you pay a dollar down for a picture of an acre lot." "And the daughter?" "Well, Bassford Hollister has two daughters. It's the older one that has stolen Wiggins' heart away. She's Cecilia, you know. Very literary and that sort of thing, and pushed tea and cookies at the Asolando when that idocy was opened. Wiggins saw her there last spring. Mins Hollister, the aunt, whom I'm fond of calling the chevalier, picked up her nieces about that time and hauled them off to Europe, and Wiggins accompared after them. I don't know what they did to Wiggy, but you see how he acts. I rather imagine that the chevalier didn't smile on his suit. She's a holy terror. that woman, with an international reputation for doing weird and most unaccountable things. She draws a sort of royalty on all the baby bugles in creation. It amounts to a birth tax, in contravention of the free guarantee of the constitution. The people will rise against it some day. "She's plausible enough, but she's the past mistress of ulterior motive. She got Fortner, the mural painter, up to a place she used to have at Newport a few years ago, ostensibly to do a frieze or something, and she made him teach her to fire a gun. You know Fortner, with his artistic idealist. And he didn't know any more about guns than a deer. It was droll, decidedly droll. But she kept him there a month—wouldn't let him off the reservation; but she paid him his fee just the same, though he never painted a stroke. When he got back to town he was a wreck. It was just like being in jail. I warn you to let her alone. If you should undertake to fix her fuses likely to put you to work digging potatoes. She's no end of a case." "Well, Wiggins is a good fellow, one of the very best," I remarked, as I absorbed these revelations, "and it isn't the girl's nunt he wants to marry." "There's no telling where this affair may lead Wiggins. There's something queer in the wind, all right. The cheveller has brother Bassford where he can't whimper. I rather fancy he feeds from her hand. His girls haven't any prospects except through the cheveller. Nice girls, so I'm told. Miss Cecilia Hollister is living with her aunt." "And the other sister—where doors abe come in?" "Not important, I fancy. Rumor is silent touching her. In fact I've never heard anything of her. But this Cecilia is no end handsome and proud Your old Wiggly." I was already ashamed of myself for having encouraged Jewett to discuss Wiggins' affairs, and was about to leave him, when he snorted in a disgraceable way he had at some joke that had occurred to him. "I knew there was something," he said, "about Miss Cecilia's younger sister, and I'm just recalled it. The girl has a most extraordinary name, quite the most remarkable you ever heard. Hezokiah Bang: That's the little sister's name. Bussard Hollister had been saving that name for a son, who never appeared, to do honor to Old Hezokiah, the perambulator chap. So they named the girl for her grand-dad." I left him and learned at the office that Wiggins had, within half an hour, left the club hurriedly in a cab, taking a trunk with him. He had mentioned no mail address to the clerk, and this was very unlike Wiggins. CHAPTER II. The Beginning of My-Adventure. W GIGGINS' strange conduct and Jewett's dark hints so disturbed me that the very next afternoon I again sought the Asolando tea room, feeling that in its atmosphere I might best weigh the few facts I possessed touching my friend's love affair. Those who care for details in these matters may be interested to know that the Asolando is tucked away among print shops and exclusive taber-dashers, a stone's throw from Fifth avenue. The Asolando tea room is sacred to wonders of the flute of Pan, secession photographers and confident believers in an early revival of the poetic drama. There is about the little room a suggestion of tranquility, of charming cloisteral space, with its arts and crafts chairs and tables. its racks of books, its portraits of Browning, Rossetti, Burno-Jones and kindred spirits. I chose a table, sat down and sug- gested (one does not order at the Anso- lando) a few articles from the card an- attendant handed me. "We're out of the Paracelsus ginger cookie," she replied, "but I recom- mend a Ituskin sandwich with our own special chocolate. The whipped cream is unusually fine today." She eyed me with a severity to which I was not accustomed, and I acquiesced without parley in her suggestion. Be- fore leaving me she placed on my table the latest minor poet in green and gold. I was nearly 3 o'clock, and I was alone in the Asola. The attending delites in their snowy gowns had vanished behind the screen at the rear of the room. The food and drink with which I had been promptly served proved excellent. Even the minor poor in green and gold had held my attention, though limitations of Corentry Patmore's ode bore me as a rule. Near the street, half concealed behind a mosquelike grill, sat the cashier reading. A bundle of joes sticks in a green jar beside this young woman bent a thin smoke into the air. Her head was bent above her book in quiet attention. The light from an electric himp made a blow of her golden help. She was the president of the general picture, a part of a stone that contained no jewelry upon. A man, who could devise, by the heart of the great city, a place in interest with respect no halling to all the persons was not less than a public historian. It was at this moment that the ad venture—for it shall have no meaner name—actually began. My eyes were woo Parker. "I beg your pardon, but this seems to be the seventh table." "I beg your pardon, but this seems to be the seventh table." still enjoying the Rossettillike vision in the cashier's tiny mouth when a figure suddenly darkened the street door just beyond her. The girl lifted her head. On the instant the lamp key clicked as she extinguished her light, and the aureolced head caused to be. And coming toward me down the shop I behold a lady, a lady of years, who passed the cashier's desk with her eyes in tent upon the mom's inner necessities gown, of a new fashionable gray was of the severest tailor cut. Her hat was a modified fedora, gray like the gown, and adorned with a single gray feather. She was short, slight erect, and moved with a quick bird like motion, pausing and glancing at the vacant tables that lay between me and the door. She appeared to be engaged in a calculation of some sort and she raised a lorgnette to assist in counting the tables. The cashier passed behind her unseen and vanished. I heard the newcomer reciting: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven." And at seven her eyes rest upon me with a look that mingled surprise and annoyance. She took a step toward me, and I started to rise, but she said quickly: "I beg your pardon, but this seems to be the seventh table." "Now that you call my attention to it," I remarked, gaining my feet, "I am bound to console the point. If by any chance I am intruding"— "Not in the least. On the other hand I beg that you remain where you are." And without further ado she sank into a chair opposite my own. Iinked a tiny crystal bell that we among the table furnishings, and a waitress appeared and handed the lady who had thus introduced herself to my acquaintance, a copy of the tiny card on which the articles of refreshment offered by the Asolando were indicated within a border of hand painted field daisies. "Never mind that," said the lady in gray, ignoring the card. "You may bring me a caviar sandwich and a cocktail, a pink one, provided—provided—and she held the waitress with her eye—"you have the importee saviar and your barkeeper knows the proper frape of the spirit lifter I have named. "Pardon, me, madam," replied the waitress lety, "but you have saltaken the place. The Asolando serves poulting stronger than the pure water in its own fount of Castalin. Intoxicants are not permitted here." "Intoxicant!" repeated the old lady with asperity. "Do I look like a pet son given to intoxication? I dare say your Castilla water is nothing but carbon whose flavor has been destroyed by distillation. You may bring me the sandwich I have mentioned—and with it a pot of tea. Yes, thank you; lemon with the tea." As the girl vanished with the light trend that marked the service of the place I again made us to rise, but the old lady lifted her hand with a delaying gesture. "Iray remain. It is not unlikely that we have friends and ideas in common, and as you were seated at the seventh table it is possible that some ordering of fate has brought us to together." She took from me in the hand which she had now unglued the copy of my minor poet, glanced at it scorfully and tossed it upon the floor with every mark of disdain. "What species of mental disorder does this place represent?" she demanded. "It is sacred to the fine art apparently; an endowed tea room where persons of artistic ideals may come to refresh body and soul. Such at least seems to be the program: This is only my second visit, but I have long heard it spoken of by artists, poets and others of my friends." "I am alxy-two years old, young man, and I beg to inform you that I consider the Apolando the most preposterous thing I have ever heard of in this most preposterous city. And from a casual glimpse of you I feel justified in saying that a man in your apparent physical health might be better business than frequenting in midafternoon a shop that seems to be a remarkably stupid expression of twentieth century anaemia." "Attendance here is not compulsory." I remarked defensively. "If you imply that I must have sought the place voluntarily let me cur And your life inquisition immediately I stepped to have for the enslavement run that ship in the seventh in numerical progression from Fifth avenue." "You were not guided by any feeling of interest, then, but rather by super station." "That remark is unworthy of a man of your apparent intelligence. I was born on the 7th of November, and all the great events of my life have occurred on the 7th of the month." I was relieved to find that she accepted the tea and sandwiches the waitress had brought without parley. It is with shame I confess that in the first moments of my encounter I believed her capable of quarrelling with a waitress, but she thanked the girl pleasantly, lifting her head with a smile that illumined her face attractively. Her demand for a cocktail had not been wholly convincing as to her sincerity, and I wondered whether she were not playing a part of some kind. She suggested pleasant and wholesome things. In any event the impression was wholly agreeable. I had to do with a lady and a lady of no mean degree. The marks of breeding were upon her, and she spoke with that quiet authority that is the despair of the vain and vulgar. Her features were small and delicate, her ringless hands were perfectly formed and both face and hands belied the age to which she had so frankly confessed. She was more than twice my age, and there was not the slightest reason why she should not address me if it pleased her to do so, and her observation as to the potency of the numeral seven was not in itself proof of an ill balanced mind. Musing thus, I reached the conclusion that this encounter was very likely the sort of thing that happened to patrons of the Anselando. My time has, however, a certain value, and I began to wonder just how I should escape. I was about to excuse myself when my companion suddenly put down her cup and addressed me with a directness that seemed habitual in her. "I have formed an excellent opinion of your bringing up from the manner in which you have suffered my advances, if I may so call them. You act and speak like a gentleman of education. Will you kindly tell me the nature of your occupation?" I produced, one of my professional cards. ARNOLD AMES Consultant In Chinneyne. Suit & Landon Building She read it aloud without glasses and mused a moment. "This is very curious," she remarked, placing my card in a silver case she drew from her pocket. "This is very curious indeed. It was only yesterday that my friend General Glendening was speaking of you. He told me that you had rendered him the greatest service in adjusting several fines in his country house at shinnecock. My own fireplaces doubles require attention, and you may consider yourself retained. I shall make an early appointment with you. You will find my name and residence sufficiently described on this card." "Oh! I exclaimed, bowing, "Any further introduction is unnecessary Miss Hollister." "The name is familiar! I recall that General Glendening mentioned that you were related to the Ames family of Hartford, and your mother was a Farquhar of Charlestonville, Va. If you bear your father's name, I dare any it be whom I met ten years ago in Paris. There is no reason therefore why we should not be the best of friends." It was a kind fate indeed that had led me back to the Asolando, and introduced me to the aunt of Wiggins in Amorata. It may well be believed that I was immediately interested, attentive, absorbed. As she smoothed her gloves, Miss Hollister continued to speak in a low musical voice that was devoid of any of the quivers of age. "On the day I reached my sixth year, Mr. Ames, I decided that my hundred life must cease. The strongest conventions had guided me from earliest childhood. My experience of life had been limited to those things which women of education and means enjoy or suffer, as you please to take it. Two years ago I chartered a yacht and cruised among the Lesser Antilles, enjoying many adventures. Later I crossed the Andes, and I have just returned from Switzerland, where I accomplished some of the most difficult acents. I have a clipping bureau engaged to inform me of all rumors of hidden treasure and sunken ships, and I hope that of this something may come, as I retain a marine engineer and corps of divers and can leave at an hour's notice for any likely hunting ground. This may strike you as the most whimsical self indulgence. Tell me candidly whether my remarks so affect you." "If it were not that your benefactions of all kinds have given you noble eminence among American philanthropists I might be less blamed in favor of the sort of thing you describe, but your gifts to orphanages, colleges, hospitals"— "Ah!" she interrupted, "enough of that. Philanthropy in these times is only solitary exploitation, the recreation of the conscience stricken. But you see he never why," she pursued eagerly, lapsed to dig up the Caribbean sea in search of Spanish doubloons, I should not do so? Answer me frakly, without the slightest fear." "I assure you, Miss Holliser, that each projects appeal to me strongly. I have often lamented that my own lot fall in these events times. "As an architect I proved something of a failure; as a chimney doctor I lead a useful life, but the very usefulness of it bores me, and besides many people take me for a sweep." "I dare say they do, for unfortunately many people are foolish." But I am best their adventures. My physician pro- mises me good for ten, your most of active life, and I should, to keep amused. If I were a young man like you I should crawl through chambers no more, but take to the open road. I remit the birth ching of their mo- ngled years. As I wished taking the hill that he behind the merger this morning I heard the begin calling. I should like to ask you further as to your unusual profession, but around grannum no elsewhere. However, something tells me we shall meet again." She rose in her swift, birdlike fascies and passed lightly down the room and through the door. She had left a dotar beside her plate to pay her check which I noted called for only 40 cents. I glanced at the cashier's desk. The aureoled head had not reappeared, but immediately I heard a voice murmuring beside me. I had believed myself alone, and in my surprise I thought some wizardry had made audible one of the verses on the wall. What of Rafab's sonnet, Dante's picture— It was she whose aureoled head I had marked earlier in the receipt of custom, the girl who had vanished as Miss Hollister appeared. She was not tall, and her eyes, I saw, were brown. She had clearly not climbed far the stairway of her years, but her serenity was the least bit disconcerting. "Pardon me," I began, "but I am an ignorant Philistine, and cannot cap the verse you have quoted." "There is no reason'why you should do so. It is the rule of the Asolando that we shall attract the attention of THE "The Asolando is denied to outsiders," customers when necessary by speaking of a line of verse. We are not allowed to open a conversation, no matter how imperative, with 'Listen,' or the even more vulgar 'Say.'" "A capital idea, of which I heartily approve, but now that I am a waiting auditor, anger"— "It's merely the check, if you please," she interrupted coldly. "My desk is closed, and the room will refuse further patrons for the next hour, as the executive committee of the 'Shelley society meets here at 4 o'clock, and the Asolando is denied to outsiders." what in excess of her check. My own charge of 50 cents is moderate that I cannot do less than leave $1 also." "Thank you," she replied, unhaken by my generosity, "The tips at the Asolando all go to the Sweetness and Light club, which is just now engaged in circulating Matthew Arnold's poems in leaflet form in the jobbing district." "I bowed and had turned away when she arrested me with the lino— My good blade carves the caques of men. I turned toward her. "Permit me to inquire," she asked, "whether the lady who joined you here expressed any interest in the life beautiful as it is exemplified in the Asolando?" "I am constrained to say that she did not. She spoke of the Asolando in the most contumulous terms." The golden head bowed slightly, and a smile hovered about her lips. But her amusement at my answer was more eloquently stated in her eyes. "I must explain that my sole excuse for addressing you is that we are required to learn, where possible, just why strangers seek the Asolando." "In the case of the lady to whom you refer it was a matter of this being the seventh shop from the corner, and my own appearance was due to the idiot curiosity, inspired by enthusiastic descriptions of the Asolando's atmosphere and rumors of the cheapness of its food." "The reasons are quite ample," was her only comment, and her manner did not encourage further conversation. "May I ask," I persisted, "whether the Asolando's staff is permanent and whether, if I return another day"—"I take it that you do not mean to be impertinent, so I will answer that my service here is limited to Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. On the other days, Pilpin is in the cash booth. My name at the Asolando is Francesca. Kindly write your name in the visitors' book at the door as you pray out." There she no ignoring this hint. I thought she smiled as I left her. I HOLLISTER'S summons lay on my desk the next morning and was of the bidfast. I was regretted to MISS HOLLINTER'S summons on my desk the next morning and was of the briefest. I was requested to call at Hoppeeld Manor at 4 o'clock the following afternoon, being Thursday. A trap would meet me at Katman, and it was suggested that I come prepared to spend the night, so that the condition of the sues might be die- cursed and any necessary changes planned during the evening. The note signed Octavius Holtman, was written in a flowing hand on a wholly imper- sible page that stamped Hopefield Miner, Ruthann. "It's rather poor going over the hills; about five miles, air," said the driver as we set off. This was the first week in October. There was just cost enough in the air to make a top coat comfortable. The team of blacks spoke well for Miss Hollister's stable, and the liveried driver kept them moving steadily, but eased the pace as we rose on the frequent slopes to the shoulders of the pleasant Westchester hills. Early frosts had already wrought their miracle in the foliage, and the battle hammers of winter's vanguard finished along the horizons. I rejoiced that my business, vexations enough in many ways, yet afforded me so charming an outing as this. Presently we climbed a hill that shouldered its way well above its fellows and came out upon a broad ridge where we entered at once a noble gateway set in an old stone wall and struck off smartly along a fine bit of macadam. The house, the driver in formed me, was a quarter of a mile from the gate. The way led through a wild woodland, in which elms and maples predominated, and before that 'grown monotonous we came abruptly upon an Italian garden, beyond which rose the house. I knew it at once for one of Pepperton's sound performances. Pepperton is easily our best man in domestic Tudor, and the whole setting of Hopefield Manor—the sunken garden, the superb view, the billowing fields and woodlands beyond—all testified to a taste which no ignorant owner had thwarted. The house was Tudor, but in no serif sense. It was also Pepperton. I lifted my eyes with immediate professional interest to the chimpnypots on the roof. It occurred to me on the instant that I had never before been called to retouch any of Pepperton's work. Pep knew as much as I about fine construction I had an immense respect for Pop, and as my specializing in chimneys had been a subject of frequent chafing between us, I anticipated with a chuckle the pleasure I should have later in telling him that at last one of his fuses had required my services. My good opinion of Miss Holliser did not diminish as I stepped within the broad hall. Houses have their own manner of speech, and Hopeful Minor spoke to all the senses in accounts of taste and refinement. A ser, ant took my bag and ushered me for a charming library. A fire amoldered lazily in the great fireplace; there was in the room the fattest scent of but wood, but the smoke rose in the floor in a perfectly mannerly fashion, and on thrusting in my hand I felt a good draft of air. I instinctively knelt on the hearth and peered up, but saw nothing unworkmanlike—Pepperton was not a fellow to leave obvious mistakes behind him. But possibly that was not one of the recalcitrant fireplaces I had been called to inspect, and I rose and was continuing my en A She. Advanced at Once and Spoke My Name. joyment of the beautiful room when I became conscious, by rather curious and mixed processes not wholly of the eye, that a young woman had drawn back the light portieres—they were dark brown, with borders of burnt orange—and stood gravely gazing at me. She held the curtains apart—they made, indeed, a kind of frame for her—but as our eyes met she advanced at ‘sill ie le .

SATURDAY.....MAY 17, 1913. "A Song of Long Ago," by James Whitcomb Riley published in our issue of May 2. "was from "Green Fields and Running Brooks," Riley, Copyrighted, 1892 and used by special permission of the publishers. The Bobbs-Merrill Company. We congratulate Hon. R. R. Jackson upon his success in securing the seat in the Illinois legislature to which he had been elected, but had been counted out. His record in the past ensures success for him in the future. --- Hon. John S. Wise died in Princess Anne county, Maryland, Monday, May 12, 1913 after a long illness. The death of this brilliant son of Virginia, who for many years was idolized by the colored people of this State brings to mind the stormy scenes of the Readjuster rule. Bloquent, magnetic, impulsive, he was the most popular campaign brator in the commonwealth. Still, thousands who admired him before election day would not vote for him on election day. His passing will be generally regretted by those who knew him best. Peace to his ashes! CONVICTION OF JACK JOHNSON. The conviction of the heavyweight champion of the world Jack Johnson on seven counts in the "White Slave Case," to our mind closes the chapter and ends the career of one of the most remarkable characters of this or any other generation. From the opening of the proceedings to the close of the trial, justice for him was out of the question. He had blundered and defiled public sentiment as long that the opportunity was all that was needed in order to place him behind the bars. His appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States based upon the unconstitutionality of the "White Slave Act" showed that his case was --- not only desperate, but that it was so regarded by his counsel. Jack Johnson has been the slave to his appetites and to his desires. White men made him what he is today, a superb fighting machine. White women of the mercenary order have come in and brought about his undoing. He lived with them and married them. It will be some time before they succeed in getting him behind the bars for good. He is a fighter and as long as his money holds out, he will carry this case from one court to another. When the end of the row is reached, he will not only be pointless, but he will have been deserted by the thousands who hurrahed for him during his days of prosperity. Concluded on seven counts: Great Jehovahat! What better opportunity is desired by his enemies than this. The penitentiary looms up before him. The Negro-laters have the chance of a lifetime and a presiding judge stands ready to administer to him, what he regards as a merited punishment. Another one of the race's idols has been trapped. The last word in Chicago will soon be spoken and Jack Johnson will be forgotten in the garb of a convict, the shocking end of a great career, and the consummated hope of every Negro-hater in, the land, Selah. BISHOP WALTERS RESIGNS. The Washington, D. C. Bee. In one of the 10th and published the following. Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the National Democratic League, at a meeting of that organization held at its headquarters Tuesday evening, resigned from the presidency of the club. It is quite evident that the distinguished divine discussed with politics. This is just as we expected. The divine and political leader was between two fires. His followers in his rear were "jabbing" because of his inactivity and failure to secure even an ordinary appointment while his white Democratic associates were frowning at him because he was pushing under the eyes of President Wilson a list of colored candidates for office. If what the Bob says is true, this means the breaking up of the colored democratic trust in the securing of office and makes the affair a wild and disgraceful scramble for "the loaves and fishes." Bishop Walters to our mind has never comprehended the magnitude of the task before him. He has done now what he should have done before, kept out of the whole unfortunate business. Dr. Hooker T. Washington made the same mistake and he has paid dearly for his folly. Bishop Waters was needed before election times and election day. He is not needed now by the politicians in their business and they are not slow in making him aware of that fact. If the Bishop has resigned, it is evident that he has had more than enough of this whole disgusting business. --- THE AGES OBSERVATION. The New York Age devotes much space to a discussion of the chasm which is allowed to be yawning between the colored people of the North and those of the South. We have always insisted that whatever rights two, of the South have left are due to the protecting voting strength of the colored people of the North. It is not a question for argument between sensible people. The Age asks, "Are the Negroes Cowards?" This is rather as insulting a query to the colored folks as was Mr. T. Thomas Fortune's famous plan for information.—"Is the White South civilized?" The Civil War, the Spanish-American War, the campaigns in the Philippines with numerous expeditions against the Indians on the plains in our own country, should have prevented even a suggestion of any such query. The isolated cases in the Southland where colored men have defended their homes against lawless mobs, killing many of the murderers and then died and "gone shouting home to glory" should be additional convincing testimony upon this all important subject. Still the Age's double column double loaded editorial is an able protection and contains much sound and valuable advice which could be followed by the colored folks in both sections with satisfaction and profit, profit.

Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States --- . Colored men affiliating with the races. One looks with contempt up- Democratic Party will now see things on the other and so it goes. The in a light that they never saw them result is that the discriminations before. -What chance has any of the continue. without saying. It is not regarded as being good manners to express one's opinion relative to the actions of a lady and especially "the first lady in the land." Still it is evident that the distinguished occupant of the White House has been and is influenced by all that she has said. That Hon. John Skelton Williams of Richmond, Va., who is now Assistant Secretary of the Treasury should have issued an order segregating the colored employees in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, following this visit would indicate that he received the "titl" to do. The Negro-haters at the national capital are once more Jubilant, now that they have raised another issue and that they have succeeded in interesting no less an important personage than the wife of the President of the United States in so doing. To our mind this is an attempt to displace colored employees now enjoying immunity under the Civil Service rules. colored Democratic office-seekers to "land" political jobs in Washington if this rule holds good? Recorder Henry Lincoln Johnson, Register of the Treasury J. C. Napier and a host of others will be succeeded by white men. The "handwriting is on the wall." We have not expressed our opinion on this matter just as we would like to do. Wisdom for Kids it. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, the "queen of the White House" has taken a long step backward. Southern chivalry demands that we stop at that and draw the certain. "What will the harvest be?" MAJOR YOUNG IN AFRICA. According to the Buchanan, Liberia, Africa, African League, Major Charles Young of the United States Army's having "the time of his life" with the Liberian "army." It says in its issue of February, 1913: On the 19th inst, Captain Brown marched into the city of Buchanan with his large company of soldiers from the Liberian Hinterland. They marched through in a very orderly manner and quartered at Veytown. There were about 125 soldiers, a larger number of the Frontier force than ever before quartered in the city limits, and yet they were generally under such strict discipline that they gave the citizens no trouble. No one dreaded to walk the streets. Such was, the condition until confusion got into the camp on Monday the 17th about money matters. On the 16th Maj. Young came down in the "Newport" bringing part payment for the soldiers. Dissatisfaction arose because of misunderstanding between the Major and the Captain and soldiers, which could hardly be settled in Bassa at that time. Capt. Brown gave up the command of the soldiers, it appeared. Major Young sent about 35 of the soldiers to Rivercress overland under command of Lieut. L. L. Smith, and the Major proceeded to Rivercress in the launch. The other part of the company of soldiers, were left to themselves, some had gone to Monrovia while others, armed, remained in the Vettowns. On Monday night, the 17th, the whole city was terrorized by the reckless and continuous firing of guns and random prowling of dissatisfied soldiers. On the following day the Vice-President, on the part of the Government did what seemed best to him in securing some of the Government arms and ammunition. And soon all the scattered soldiers were off for Monrovia where, we are told, they waited at the barracks, for orders. After transacting business in Grand Bassa county pertaining to the Frontier Force, Major Young, U. S. Military Attache, proceeded to Cape Palmas in pursuance of the same business. That part of the Liberian soldiery is being organized by him. We do not know whether Major Young is laughing or "cussing" but it seems to us that he is in a position to do both. RACE DISCRIMINATIONS. It is now asserted that the drastic civil rights bill passed by the New York democratic legislature and signed by Gov. Sulser, also a Democrat was a measure offered for the protection of the Hebrews, better known as the Jews. Under its provisions colored people are amply protected. The antipathy to one race has led to antagonism to another. As a result, this country is in a ferment over the proper recognition of the Chinese, the Japanese and the Jews. The evident latent of the Negro-haters is to put these races in the same category with the colored people of the Southland. In this connection it may be said that all of the races are united except the colored people. They are engaged in an endless warfare among themselves, and their leaders as a rule are both jealous and avid of each other. As a result, their white antagonists regard them with contempt and triumph over them in practically every contest with ease. The latest information from New York is to the effect that Dr. Jacques Locb, a distinguished Jewish scientist, who is now head of the Rockefeller Institute's department of experimental biology, was blackballed recently by the Century Association because he is a Jew. The admission committee denies this and declares that he was rejected for personal reasons, the opposing members alleging that he has strong predilection for socialism, that he is otherwise erratic in his views, omphatic in his expression of them and not always tolerant of those who oppose them. It is cited that there are several Jews members of the Century Association. Be that as it may, the conclusion seems to be that they have enough Jews in the club. These reports tend to show that the discrimination against one race of people leads to discrimination against another. It is impossible, though to form a common basis of defense between these persecuted races. One looks with contempt upon the other and so it goes. The result is that the discriminations continue.

The town of Kingston, Me., has sold its calaboose to obtain funds to light its streets. This was decided upon after the town marshal had reported to the city council that the "lock-up" had not held a prisoner in six months. The city needed money for lights, so an auctioneer was called upon to dispose of the building. After spirits bidding the calaboose was sold for more than enough to complete the lighting. "I will use the colls as a chicken house," said the purchaser. School Teachers' Salaries Less. "Public school teachers of the United States do not receive enough salary to save money to carry adequate life insurance or to proceed with further professional training," announced a report of the United States bureau of education. Most of the teachers of the country have, in effect, had their salaries reduced since 1897, says the report. Despite an apparent increase in money received by them, the high cost of living has cut into their salaries just as definitely as if a school board had sliced them. A teaching position which paid $600 in 1897 is paying in purchasing power the equivalent of about $166 today, if measured by 1897 prices; the teacher on the $1000 salary gets no more for his money than he would have procured fifteen years ago for $93.

Labor Leader Fined $500 For Contempt of Court A. POLICE IN FIERCE FIGHT WITH STRIKERS Two Dying and 25 Seriously Wounded in Syracuse. Two men are at the point of death in the hospital, twenty-five others are seriously wounded, while many are under arrest, and Syracuse, N. Y., is under martial law, as the result of street riots in which the police clashed with frightened Italians among the 2750 union workmen who are on strike for increased wages. It was in the shadow of the great tower of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception that the rioting had its beginning. The old rectory of Bishop John Grimes is being razed to make way for a new Episcopal residence. Striking, Italians started a demonstration, and fifty policemen were sent out in response to a riot call. The arrival of the officers seemed to be the signal for an onslaught, and in a few moments a bloody battle was in progress. The Italians wielded clubs and hurled stones. The policemen fired first over the heads of the strikers to frighten them. Then they lowered their weapons. fall. He was hit on the head with a brick. Officer Britbock was close to Manheim, and he clubbed Joseph Coco, the man who had wounded Manheim, and arrested him. For a time it looked as if the Italian lans might overcome the officers. They were determined and they were almost crazed. But the police fought them hard and the strikers began to retreat. The police, many of them covered with blood, and some of them so badly wounded that they were disabled, gathered in about twenty-five of the rioters. Of these twenty-five arrested ten ow们 were hurt. At least three Italians were shot, one in the abdomen and two in the thigh. Ambulances were called and the police kept the strikers back with drawn revolvers while the wounded men were taken to hospitals. LOCKED FOUR DAYS IN CAR Potatoes Save Life of Man Rescued at Wilmington. Locked in a freight car at Jacksonville, Fla., last Friday, a man about forty years old, was rescued in the freight yards of the Pennsylvania railroad at Wilmington, Del., by Special Officer West. The latter was attracted to the car by the prisoner pounding on the door. The man gave his name as James Gallagher. Fortunately the car was loaded with potatoes, and he managed to keep from surviving by eating the raw tubers. The moisture in them took the place of water. At that the man almost collapsed from weakness when taken from the car. Gallagher explained that he was engaged in loading potatoes on the car and went to sleep. In the meantime the car was fastened up, and when he awakened it was started on its journey northward. He ate four meals in a Wilmington restaurant at the expence of his rescuers. $14,300 IN BILLS DISAPPEAR Currency In. Express Package Becomes Plain Paper.

A geologist who is well up in his business can name a dozen or twenty different specimens of rocks and minerals that have less specific gravity than water and which will, if tossed into that element, float on the surface. Hubble is one of the best known representatives of that class. The common pumice stone is another example. The rock with the very least specific gravity known is damar, a substance found in an extinct volcano in Dapurnaland. Its atomic weight is 5, or exactly one half that of hydrogen. One In a Hundred.
