--- VOLUME XXX. NO. 30 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1913. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. Black Men of Earth-"Arise and Shine." By LUCIAN B. WATKINS. Black men of earth!—"Arise and shine!" God's perfect schemes are all divine: He told the Dark, "Let there be light!" And Day came forth, the child of Night; Before the aged ord of Sun, Before the Moon and Stars begun, Before the Spirit-Detp was stirred "In the beginning" by "the Word." And ere the ancient dust—or sod, The Dark was then the robe of God. Black men of earth!—Behold the Night! As Abraham came forth to sight The hidden secrets of his soul, High written on the heavens' scroll, Behold the Night!—each crystal spark Is but a jewel of the Dark. Black men of earth!—aspire! aspire! Come, lay upon the altar fire Of Human-Life thy sacred gift Of service for the world's uplift. Ye kingdom magnates!—thy estate Your hands must mould, your minds create; And should it fall, know, even then, Twill surely rise and rule again!

Detriment to the Race--A Draw Back to Race Enterprises. FAILS TO GIVE RACE PATRONAGE ON THE FLIMSY PRETEXT THAT NEGRO BUSINESS MEN CAN'T GIVE THE SERVICE. (Waco, Tex. Conservative Counsellor Your protext for not patronizing and trading with your own grocers, depositing in your banks, patronizing your own doctors and other business institutions is because they are not well equipped to give the service, you say. You who complain how about your service to your race? Can you give as good service to your race as the white man? That pretext is too filimay. Hero is what the matter is. It is that old slave habit yet remaining in too many of our so-called big Negroes. They have been so used to "gwine up to do big house for cery ting dey git." "Dey still cling on to ole marster for perfection an' guidance." "Every race must be the architect of his own fortune." By virtue of the fact the so-called big Negro serves the race and gets the support and patronage of the race, they owe it to the Negro enterprises to help support them and the Negro enterprises have a right to demand it of the Big Negro. If they will not hear this, then the race has a right to boycott them, and thus measure to them—miserable concocte—what they have meted out to others. Subscribe to The PLANET. If you will patronize your own and insure them that they can get he the bulk of your business all our own enterprises will be able to put in the best equipments. The shortest and quickest route to first class equipments and good service to your own enterprises will be through your patronage only. If you fall to give your patronage to build up your enterprises when you really have the business to give, you show only your disloyalty to your own and really keep back money that would come to you—fool you; for each boy and girl employed in a Negro enterprise will be enabled to contribute to the big Negro preacher's church, the college president's school, to the big banker's bank, to give the big doctor patronage and to the big lodge man and thus on down the line. Thus you see; Mr. Big Negro, that your first class job office will come sooner by your aid or delayed by your non-patronage all of which has a tendency to dampen, discourage and in many instances kill out entirely the enterprises of the race. The quickest way to have a good business among the race is not to eye it with jealousy and boycott it, but to come up to it and encourage it by moral and financial support. You must therefore throw aside your "ole fore de war habits" and line up for the unlift of the race. Anything else is disloyalty and race suicide, which is being committed every day by many conceived so called big Negroes right here in Waco and every town in the South. The plan for first class equipments is only a filimay pretext for our own experience taught us the last few months that after we had secured the services of a first class printer from Tuskegee Institute, the best to be found in the South, and had him to come here, and take charge of the office we found to our surprise in many white offices in the city, where we had business jobs there from our own men which could have been given to us; offices which employ colored people only to sweep and wash the cuspidors. Similar conditions exist along other lines of industry among the race. The Christian Recorder, Hustler and other papers have taken a number of Grand Chancellors. Presidents, Grandmasters and Noble Governors to task for having their printing done by white printers in the face of the fact that the race has component printers all over the country. The fact of the thing too many of our people all over the country have the white mania like Jack Johnson who are giving a death blow to race enterprises. From what appears the law of intermarriage, the separate coach law and even the segregation law seem to have been a God gond, for the race would have been deserved and many, a Negro woman would have been without a Negro husband. Following the same line of reason, if the fool doctor, preacher, college president, lawyer, dentist and all that conceived fool class would be treated by the race as they treat their race namely, until they became first class and well equipped then they would get their just deserts; if there are white doctors, preachers, lawyers, presidents and dentists as far their superiors along particular lines as the white business men in their enterprises are superior to the Negro in their enterprises. This does not refer to Negro business men who are suffering and scrinding to build up Negro enterprises. It is admitted in this article that every man is free to do as he please, but it must not be forgotten that there is a moral law that is as binding as the civil law. One word more; we would sound this message in the big Negro ear: RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1913. ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG SPE Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow, this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great tash remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. "Every race must be the architect of his own fortune." By virtue of the fact the co-called big Negro serves the race and gets the support and patronage of the race, they owe it to the Negro enterprises to help support them and the Negro enterprises have a right to demand it of the Big Negro. If they will not hear this, then the race has a right to boycott them, and thus measure to them—miserable concolts—what they have meted out to others. Subscribe to The PLANET.

KEEPS RACES APART. Bill by Aswell of Louisiana Separate Separation of white clerks and employees from Negroes in the various government departments is sought in a bill introduced in the House yesterday by Representative J. B. Awell, of Louisiana. The measure provides that while there shall be no discrimination, in favor of or against employees of equal efficiency on account of race, white clerks shall not be required to occupy the same offices in the government departments with Negroes nor be under orders of Negroes, and that except in cases of emergency white clerks in the railway mail service shall not have to serve in the same mail car with Negro clerks. VIEWS OF MR. ASWELL Mr. Aswell declared yesterday that he has knowledge of conditions in the departments in Washington wherein white women are compelled to work at almost adjoining desks with men of the Negro race, and that in some instances there are Negroes who are directing the work of white men. "Every informed right-thinking white man, while sympathetic with and anxious to help the Negro in his place, recognizes the necessity of preserving the integrity and the supremacy of the white race," said the Louisiana member. "No nation ever destroyed itself except by amalgamating with an inferior race. Are we blindly drifting that way? The United States is peculiarly commissioned to load all other nations not only in the purity of race quality, but in world problems of just and wise government. Shall we fulfill that high mission? HOPES TO HELP THE NEGRO. "The bill seeks to help the Negro by making him proficient in his own sphere and by correcting a false idea and seven years ago our first forth on this continent a conceived in Liberty and dedi- position that all men are creat- ged in a great civil war, testing nation so conceived and so do. We are met on a great battle we come to dedicate a portio- testing place for those who l that nation might live. It is a that we should do this. Our sense we cannot dedicate crate, we cannot hallow, this men, living and dead, who o ated it far above our poor The world will little note we say here, but it can never for us for us, the living, rather, to unfinished work which they wh so nobly advanced. For us to be here dedicated to mining before us—that from th we take increased devotion they gave the last full measure are highly resolve that these de in; that this nation, under G of freedom, and that govern people, for the people, shall of his proper circumscribed position in the republic, and, at the same time, relieve the white man in the public service from the intolerable humiliation of being compelled, in order to earn his daily bread, to work side by side with an objectionable people, the continuation of which practice must result in irreparable injury to both races and ultimately destroy the efficiency of the public service. Such practices will drive the self-respecting proficient white man and woman from the civil service of the government." Mr. Lawrence Hatcher of New York City is spending a few days in the Southside with his parents and friends. He is looking well. Negro Regiment for the National Guard. GOV. SULZER DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST THE AFRO-AMERICAN. The National Guard of the State of New York will soon be reenforced by a Negro regiment with Negro officers raised in this city the Kano bill amend ing the military law having been signed by Governor Sulzer. The Gov eror has said that he approved of the bill on the principle that there should be no discrimination against citizens in matters of race, color or creed. It is a sound and admirable sentiment, but Mr. Sulzer might have added that he was carrying out the wishes of the Legislature, because at the last session there was no opposition at all to the proposal to raise old, opposition to the enlistment of Negroes in the National Guard of New York never had a sound leg to stand on. The only plausible argument that could be advanced was that there were enough white men ready to fill the ranks of the white regiments. As the Negroes of the city under the leadership of old soldiers and of other ers of the race prominent in business and the professions were zealous to serve in the Guard there remained only the opportunity to join it by organizing an entire regiment. The V. 19, 1863 a Negro regiment in this city. What tangible opposition there ever has been came from squre of the officers of the National Guard, who maintained that it was already large enough and said that no armory was available for a new regiment. They also feared conflicts of authority between white and Negro officers of the Guard, and social complications. The color line as an objection was never openly urged, however. In view of the patriotic and memorable services of Negro soldiers in every war in which Americans have engaged, from the struggle for independence down to the conflict with Spain, and considering that in the event of a great war the Negroes of the country would be called to the firing line and would respond as of old, opposition to the enlistment of Negroes in the National Guard of New York never had a sound leg to stand on. The only plausible argument that could be advanced was that there were enough white men ready to fill the ranks of the white regiments. As the Negroes of the city under the leadership of old soldiers and of others of the race prominent in business and the professions were zealous to serve in the Guard there remained only the opportunity to join it by organizing an entire regiment. The men were ready and the staff was chosen, subject to election by the men, before the Kane bill was introduced in the Legislature. The representative Negro who said that admission to the National Guard in a regimental organization would improve the morals and physique of the young men of the race in New York by taking them on the street and giving them the many advantages of an armory, including athletic games and a library, said the indisputable thing. The Negro militia regiment will be a new departure, an experiment, but the people of New York will ask fair play and liberal treatment for it, always requiring that it would represent the addition to the armed forces of the nation of a well trained command in an emergency. The success of the Negro regiment will depend of course upon the quality and character of the officers selected, and the material available is apparently of good promise. (New York Sun.) Dr. Vaughan a Suicide. Well-known Colored Physician Killis Himself. After preparing his will and writing a farewell note to his wife, Dr. J. M. Vaughan, colored, forty-two years old, placed a revolver against his left ear and fired a bullet into his brain Sunday morning at 6:30 o'clock in his home, 203 East Sixteenth Street, South Richmond. Death resulted in thirty minutes Dr. John W. Brodman, assistant city corner, after viewing the body, deemed and inquest unnecessary. The cause of the suicide is unknown, although the state that Dr. Vaughan himself suffered a nervous breakout in six months ago, and had been in bad health for several weeks. He was one of the best-known members of his race on the Southside, and had a large practice. In his note, hastily scrared on the back of an envelope, no explanation was made. He simply said farewell to his family and called attention to his will. A suicide committed in the presence of Dr. Vaughan early in January is said to have caused the breakdown in his health. A nephew, after slashing his wife's throat pursued her to the home of the physician, with the apparent intention of finishing the deed, and upon being discovered on a sloping roof leading into Dr. Vaughan's bed room, blew his head off with a shotgun. The doctor was unable to stand the strain of the sight, and was confined to his bed for some time. He leaves a wife and five children. The funeral took place Tuesday evening, at 6:00 o'clock from the First Baptist Church, Southide, Dr. A. Bunga and Dr. W. T. Anthony officiated. Interment was made in Mt.

W. Green, supreme chancellor of the Negro lodges of K. of P.: "Taken from the Negro toilet room by a crowd numbering about seventy-five, who met the train at Milton, and saved from rough treatment, if nothing worse, through the prompt action of Sheriff Jarvell, of Santa Rosa county, was the experience of a well-dressed Negro, who, disliking to occupy a day coach with his own trade, purchased a Pullman ticket at Jacksonville for New Orleans, yesterday morning, and started for a ride over the P. and A. division. He is now in jail at Milton, where he was placed for safe keeping, and possibly spent an uncomfortable night. "Passengers reaching the city last night at 10 o'clock told of the occurrence. The Negro enjoyed his ride in the Pullman, it seems, until after he had passed Tallahassee. Then word got out that he was aboard and at each succeeding station larger crowds would meet the train. This at first excited the curiosity of the Negro, but before the train reached Chipley he decided that more comfortable seats could be found in the colored coach. The desire to mingle with those of his own race possibly was brought about by some one whispering some thing to him, for when a crowd at Chipley entered the Pullman the Negro could not be found. Another crowd had gathered at DeFunik, but it, too, was disappointed. Milton and Bagdad learned of the occurrence, and they proposed to find the Negro, so, when the train reached there, they instructed a search. The Negro was found in the toilet, but the conductor and flagman refused to allow the crowd which numbered about seventy-five, to enter. Before the train could leave the station, some one on the outside began raising the window of the toilet, and the Negro, taking fright, opened the door and dashed out. "He was selzed, but sherif Harvell, who had supplanted something was going wrong, was in the crowd, and he immediately took the frightened Negro into custody and kept the crowd off. The man was placed in the county jail for safe keeping, and was safe this morning at 2 o'clock. "The Negro is the same one who passed through Pensacola in a Pullman car about ten days ago, en route to Jacksonville. Then he only occupied a berth, but on the return trip he had a drawing room. He is said to be the representative of some colored secret order." We made our "post-mortem" speech last week on the happening. We see no reason to change our views because Mr. Green is still in the flesh. Special laws are not right laws; they are proscriptive, but they prevail. In the meanwhile we must concede that all of the race is not as Mr. Green, who is prepared to take advantage of the best offerings by way of accommodations. To buck the law and sentiment is a very though occupation. What happened to Mr. Green is one of the incidents making for the racial situation as it obtains to-day. We can see no sense in his insistence unless he meant to fight the case up to the Supreme Court of the United States. He would find his progress most effectually blocked in that direction. If he would assault the gates of opposition it would be best that he begin at the point of the least resistance. (Indianapolis, Ind. Freeman.) KNIGHTS OF PYTHIA Large Delegation at Newport News. The delegation to the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias, N.A., S. A., E., A., A. and A. left the city last Monday at 4 P. M. via the C. and O. R. R. for Newport News, Va. A large number accompanied Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr. and the corps of officers. The Pythiaun Cadets marched down early and entrained. Boys from 8 years of age upwards were in the party. They have been in camp down there during the week. A lovely spot, a short distance from Hampton Roads had been secured. The boys and men were subjected to rigid military discipline. The sessions have been harmonious and the delegation returned to the city last evening at 6:30 o'clock. A full report will appear in our next issue. FOR RENT.

THE ghost I believed to be still in the upper halls of the house, and now that I was in a position to watch the ladder by which he had entered I felt confident that I had cut off his retreat. I was surveying the collar when I heard faint sounds in a new direction. Far away under the house and remote from the secret steps some one was moving to ward me, and rapidly too. The ghost that I believed to have disappeared into the fourth floor hall must then have, changed the line of his retreat and descended by one of the regular stairways. I blow out my candle and stood with my back to the wall of the long corridor on which opened the various store rooms, the leading plant, laundry and other accessories of the modern house. My ghost was coming in haste a haste that did not harmonize with the stately trend of the spooks of popular superstition. A slower pace and I should doubtless have fell before him but quick, light steps echoed in the dark corridor, and I gathered courage from the thought that ghosts create echoes no more than they cast shadows. As the steps drew nearer I prepared myself to spring upon him. I must unconsciously have taken a step, for he paused suddenly, stood still for a moment, then turned and scampered back the way he had come. After him I went as fast as I could run. The cement paved corridor was four or five feet wide, and I plunged through the dark at his best speed. At the end of the corridor I was pretty certain of my quarry, and I made ready to grapple with him. Then as I plunged into the wall my hands touched a man's face and for a moment clutched the collar of his coat. He had been waiting for me to strike the wall, and as he slipped out of my grasp he ran back toward the coat collar. I had struck the wall with a force that knocked the wind out of me, but I got myself together with the loss of only an instant and renewed pursuit. I had no fear but that if he attempted to reach the open by means of the coal he should catch him on the ladder, and I sprinted for all I was worth to make sure of him. My fleeting grasp of the man's collar and the agility with which he had slipped from my clasp had settled the ghost question, and I had now resolved the intruder into a common thief. As I reached the old stairway he was mounting it two steps at a time. As I judged from the sound, I had hoped to catch and dispose of him without alarming the house, but it seemed inevitable now that the chase would end in such fashion as to arouse the company assembled in the library. I hugged him stumble and fall headlong at the door alone. Then he shot off into the still darkened hall, and when I had gained the top I lost track of him for a moment. I paused and was about to strike a match when he resumes his flight, and I was forced to grapple with the fact that some one else was pursuing him. I held my match unstruck upon this new disclosure and stepped back within the concealed doors and waited. Up and down the hall two persons were running, and when they reached the ends of the corridor I heard hands touch the wall and the sound of dodging, and then almost instantly the two runners flashed by me again. The hall was so dark that I saw nothing, but as the runners passed the door I fell the rush of air caused by their flight. Three or four times this had happened, and then, still without having made a light, I thrust out my foot at the next return of the unseen runners. Some one tripped and fell long and I promptly fung myself upon him. My prisoner's resistance engaged my best attention a moment, but when I had ant upon his legs and got hold of his strangling hands some one stole softly by me. My prisoner, too, heard and was attentive. Not only did I experience the same sensation as on the previous night of a passing near by, but I was conscious of the same faint perfume, as of a flower scent half caught in a garden at night, that had added to my mystification before. Then without the alightest warning the lights flashed on and a door closed somewhere, but it was not the hidden one leading down into the remnant of the old house, for my prisoner's head and shoulders lay across its threshold. He sighed deeply, bringing my dazed wits back to him, and I found myself gazing into the blinking eyes of Lord Arrowwood. "Bounders. I say. Bounders!" be mapped. "In the circumstances, Lord Arro- "Bounders, I say. Bounders!" he gasped. wood, I should not call names. Are you tell me what you mean by running through this house in this fashion Stand up and give an account of your self." I helped him to his feet, and bent over the stair rail leading down to the third floor. Explicitly our strong transactions, length and above had not disturbed the assembled authorities and their hostess, but in common frequency Lord Arrowood must be disposed of properly. There was no doubt about that. "I was an ass to try it," muttered his lordship, pulling his tie into shape. "And now I want to get out. I want to go away from here." He was tugging at the belt of his Norfolk coat, and something between it and his waist-taut evidence gave him concern. Our conversation was carried on in half whispers. He was so crest-fallen that if it hadn't been for the necessity of maintaining silence I should have laughed outright. "Out with it, my lord. What have you stuck in your cost?" "They're bounders, all the rest of 'em," he asserted doggedly, "but I believe you to be a gentleman." "I thank you, Lord Arrowood, for this mark of confidence. Open your coat! I declare that even if you have lifted a bit of the Hollister plate I will let you go." Reluctantly, shaken nervously, and still breathing hard from his late everything, Lord Arrowood of Arrowood, Hants, England, obeyed me. There were five buttons to the close fitting jacket, and the hosening of every succeeding one seemed to give him pain. Then, with his head slightly lifted as though in disdain of me, he held out for my observation a pie, in the pan in which it had been baked. The top crust was browned to a neclyx. Its edges were crimped neatly, and, in spite of the fact that I had so lately dined sumptuously at Miss Holliester's hospital board, at sight of this alluring pastry I experienced the sharp twinges of aroused appetite. "Now you have it, and I hope you are satisfied," said Lord Arrowood. "Kindly allow me to retire by the way I came." "First," I replied, sobered by the gravity of his manner. "It would interest me as a student of character to know just what species of pie lured you to this burglarious dead." "I have reason to think," he answered, with tears in his eyes, "that it is a gooseberry. I was hungry, if you must know the truth, and, having sampled the old lady's pies this morning, with nothing to eat since, I saw the coal hole open and ladder beneath, and the rest of it was easy. If you and the other chip hadn't chased me all over the estate I'd been off with my plea and no harm done. The old lady's insane, you know, and has no manner of use for pies. The house is haunted in the bargain. When you had about whinded me down in the collar and cut me off from the ladder and chased me up here the ghost took a hand, and if you hadn't tripped me and sat on me the spirits would certainly have nailed me. O Lord, what a night!" "You are sure you speak the truth "You are sure you speak the truth when you say that, the coal hole was open and that you found the ladder there when you came?" "No manner of doubt of it. As I have already said, I believe you to be a gentleman, and between gentlemen certain confidence may pass that wouldn't be possible between a gentleman and those cattle down there." He jerked his bead scornfully to indicate the auitors below. I bowed with such dignity as is possible when addressing a nobleman whom you have just caught; in the act of lifting a gooseberry pie from a lady's panty—a pie which you hold perforce "The fact is that I was without the price of food, and, to repeat, I was beautiful hungry." "Poverty and hunger, my Lord, are pauisonable saints, but gooseberry pastries are sacred to Heskeliah. My impressions of Heskeliah are the pleasantest, and I cannot allow you to intervene between her and the pie I hold in my hands. If you will accompany me below I will undertake to gain access to the pie vault, return this pie to its proper place and hand you at the foot, of the ladder an apple pie in place of it. I dare say it never will be missed, but from what I know of Heskeliah any trifling with her. appetite would be a crime indictable at common law." His lordship seemed reassured, and we were about to descend by the concealed stair when he arrested me. "Mr. Ames, you are a gentleman and possess a generous heart. We understand each other perfectly, and as I have every reason to believe that my suit is hopeless I ask the loan of $4 until I can confer with my friend, the British consul at New York. I shall sail at once for England." He stepped down before me into the dark stairway, and I closed the door after me and followed him. I found my way to the pie pantery without difficulty, returned the gooseberry pie to its proper shelf, chose an apple pie and gave it, with a five dollar note, to Lord Arrowood. At the bottom of the ladder he pressed my hand feelingly and expressed his gratitude in terms that would have touched a harder heart than mine. Then, having closed the coal-hole and hidden the ladder under a pile of wood, I resumed my pursuit of the ghost. I lighted my way with a candle through the lost chambers of the old house, up the hidden stairway and out into the fourth floor hall again. The old stair, I found on closer observation, reached only from the second to the fourth floor, and below this had been placed with lumber carefully preserved from the earlier house. There was nothing so strange, after all, about the hidden stairway, though I was convinced that this had been no idea of Pepperton's, but that he had merely obeyed the orders of his eccentric client, the umbrella and dyspepata cure millionaire. I had no sooner let myself through the secret door into the upper hall than I was aware of a disturbance in the library below. I heard exclamations from the men, and as I ran down toward the third floor Miss Octavia's voice rose above the tumult. "We must have patience, gentlemen. Chimney are subject to moods just like human feelings, and we are fortunate in having in the house a gentleman who is an expert in such matters." "If you wait for, that man to mend your chimney you will wait until doomday." So spake John Stewart Dick, asking his vengeance of me with my client and hostess. I might have forgiven him, but I could not forgive Hartley Wiggin. "He doesn't know any more about chimneys than the man in the moon," my old friend, was saying between coughs. And then quite unmistakably I smelt smoke, and bending farther over the rail and peering down the stair well I saw smoke pouring from the library into the hall. It seemed to be in greater volume tonight, than in previous manifestations. A gray blue cloud was filling the lower hall and rising toward me. I ran quickly to the third floor, to the chamber whose fireplace was served by the library chimney. The lights in the third floor hall winked out as I opened the door. I heard a step behind me somewhere, but I did not trouble about this. The switch inside the unused guest chamber responded readily to my touch, and on kneeling by the hearth I found it cold as I had expected. There was absolutely no way of choking the library fuse at this point, for, as I had established earlier, all the fireplaces in this chimney had their independent flues. The hall outside was still dark, and I did not try the switch. The pursuit was better carried on in darkness, and I had by this time become accustomed to rapid locomotion through unlighted passages. I leaned over the stair well and heard exclamations of surprise at the sudden cessation of the smoke, which had evidently abated as abruptly as it had begun. The windows and doors had been opened and the company had returned to the library. "Quite extraordinary—well quite remarkable!" they were saying below. I heard Cecilia's light laughter in the odd ways of the chimney were discussed. And as I stood thus peering down and listening the Swedish maid's blond head appeared below me, bending over the well roll on the second floor. She, too, was taking note of affairs in the library, and as I watched her she lifted her head and her eyes met mine. Then while we still stared at each other the second floor lights wont out with familiar alightness, and as I craned my neck to peer into the blackness above me I experienced once more that ghostly passing as of some light, unearthly thing across my face. I reached for it wildly with my hands, but it seemed to be caught away from me, and then as I fought the air madly it brushed my cheek again. I have no words to describe the strange effect of that touch I felt my scalp creep and cold chills ran down my spine. It seemingly came from above, and it was not like a hand, unless a hand of wonderful lightness. Certainly no human arm could reach down the stair, well to where I stood. I waited for its recurrence a moment, but it came no more. Then on a sudden prompting I stole swiftly to the fourth floor, lighted my candle and gazed about. I thought it well to let the electric light alone, for my ghost had once too often plunged me into darkness of critical moments, and a candle in my hands was not subject to his trickery. The hall was perfectly quiet. The Subscribe to The Richmond PLAN JET. Only $1.50 per year in advance I Beheld Hezekiah means after my interview with him on the roof. And reminded of the roof, I opened the trunk room door and peered in. The candle light slowly crept into its dark corners, and, looking up, I marked the presence of the trap door secure in the opening. As I stood on the threshold of the trunk piled room, my hand on the knob and the candle thrust well before me, I heard a slight furtive movement to my left and behind the door. I listened to the murmur of talk below for a moment, then cautiously advanced my candle farther into the room. I took one step and then cautiously another until the whole of the trunk room was well within range of my vision. And there, seated on a prodigious trunk frescoed with labels of a dozen foreign lions, I behold Hebekiah: CHAPTER XVI Lady's Slipper. AS I recall it she was very much at her case. She sat on one foot and the other bent the trunk lightly. She was bare headed, and the candle light was making acquaintance with the gold in her hair. She wore her white sweater, as on that day in the girdle, and with puch gravity, as our eyes met, she thrust a hand into the pocket and drew out a cracker. I was not half so surprised at finding her there as I was at her manner now that she was caught. She seemed neither distressed, aston-labeled nor afraid. "Well, Miss Hzezekiah," I said, "I half suspected you all along." "Wise chaggy mind. You were a little slow about it though." "I was indeed. You gave me a run for my money." She finished her cracker at the third bite, slapped her hands together to free them of possible crumbs and was about to speak when she jumped lightly from the trunk, bent her head toward the door, and then stepped back again and faced me imperturbably. "And now that you've found me, Mr. Chimney Man, the joke's on you after all." She laid her hand on the door and swung it nearly shut. I had heard what she had heard. Miss Octavia was coming up patients. She had exchanged a few words with the Swedish maid on the second floor, landing, and Hezekiah's quick ear had heard her. But Hezekiah's equanimity was disconcerting. Even with her aunt close at hand she showed not the slightest alarm. She rounded her seat on the trunk, and her heed thumped it tranquilly. "The joke's, on you, Mr. Chimney Man, because now that you've caught me playing tricks you've got to get me out of trouble." "What if I don't?" "Oh, nothing," she answered indifferently, looking me squarely in the eye. "But your aunt would make no end of a row, and you would cause your sister to lose out with Miss Octavina. As I understand it, you're pledged to keep off the reservation. It was part of the family agreement." "Mr. Ames. If you are ghost hunting in this part of the house—" "It was Miss Octavina's voice. She was seeking me and would no doubt find me. The sequestration of Hezekiah became now an urgent and delicate matter. "You caught me," said Hezekiah calmly, "and now you've got to get me out, and I wish you good luck, and beseech, I lost one of my shoes somewhere, and you've got to find that." In proof of her statement she submitted a shoeless, brown stockinged foot for my observation. "The one I lost was like this," and Hezekiah thrust forth a neat tan pump rather the worse for wear. "I was on the second floor a bit ago," she began, "and lost my slipper." "In what mischief, pray?" "Mr. Ames," called Miss Octavina, her voice close at hand. "I wanted to see something in Cecilia's room, so I opened her door and walked in—that's all." Hezekiah replied. "Wicked Hezekiah! Coming into the house is bad enough in all the circumstances. Entering your slater's room in a grievous slip." "I, Mr. Amon, you are still seeking an explanation of that chimney's behavior". It was Miss Octavia, now just outside the door. "Don't leave that trunk, Hezekiah." I whispered. "I'll do the best I can." Miss Octavia met me smiling as I faced her in the hall. She had switched on the lights, and my candle burned yellowly in the white electric glow. Miss Octavia held something in her Bell: It required no second phone in tell me that she had found Elsebethly album. "Mr. Anson," she began, "we you have absorbed yourself from the library all evening. I assume that you have been baby studying my chimneys and scouring for the ghost of that British soldier who was as wantonly slain upon the site of this house." "I am glad to my that not only is your surmise correct. Miss Holister, but that I have made great progress in both directions." "Do you seem to say that you have really found traces of the ghost?" "Not only that, Miss Hollister, but I have met the ghost face to face—even more, I have had speech with him." Her face brightened, her eyes dashed. It was plain that she was immensely pleased. "And are you able to say from your encounter, that he is in fact a British subject, uneasily haunting this house in America long after the Declaration of Independence and Washington's farewell address have, passed into literature? "You have never spoken a truer word, Miss Hollister; but, by means which I am not at liberty to disclose, I have perused him not to visit this house again." "Then," said Miss Hollister, "I cannot do less than express my gratitude, though I regret that you did not first allow me to meet him. Still, I dare say that we shall find his bones buried somewhere beneath my foundations. Please assure me that such is your expectation." "Tomorrow, Miss Hollister, I shall take pleasure in showing you certain hidden chambers in this house which I venture to say will afford you great pleasure. I have tonight discovered a link between the mansion as you know it and an earlier house whose timbers may indeed hide the bones of that British soldier." "And as for the chimney?" "And as for the chimney, I give you my word as a professional man that it will never annoy you again, and I therefore beg that you dismiss the subject from your mind." I saw that she was about to recur to the show she held in her hand and at which she glanced frequently with a quizical expression. This, clearly, was an issue that must be met promptly, and I knew of no better way than by lying. Hezekiah herself had plainly stated on the morning of that long, eventful day, when she walked into the breakfast room in her aunt's absence and explained Cecilia's trip to town, that it was perfectly fair to dismilate in making explanations to Miss Hollister—that, in fact, Miss Octavia enjoyed nothing better than the injection of fiction into the matters of fact day. Here, then, was my opportunity. "Miss Hollister," I began boldly, "the slipper you hold in your hand belongs to me, and if you have no immediate use for it I beg that you allow me to relieve you of it." "It is yours, Mr. Ames." A lifting of the brows, a widening of the eyes, denoted Miss Octavia's polite surprise. "Beyond any question it is my property," I asserted. "Your words interest me greatly, Mr. Amea. As you know, the grim hard life of the twentieth century palls upon me, and I am deeply interested in everything that pertains to adventure and romance. Tell me more, if you are free to do so, of this slipper which I now return to you." I received Hesekiah's worn little pump into my hands as though it were an object of high consecration. "As I am nothing if not frank, Miss Hollister. I will confess to you that this shoe came into my possession in a very curious way. One day last spring I was in Boston, having been called there on professional business. In the evening I left my hotel for a walk, crossed the common, took a turn through the public garden, where many devoted lovers adorned the benches, and then strolled almostly along Beacon street: "I was passing a house which I have not since been able to identify exactly, though I have several times resided Boston in the hope of doing so when suddenly and without any warning whatever this slipper dropped at my feet. All the homes in the neighborhood seemed deserted, with who dows and doors tightly bounded, and my closest scrutiny failed to discover any opening from which that slipper might have been lung. The region is so decorate and acts of violence are so foreign to its dignity and repose that I could scarcely believe that I held that bit of tan leather in my hand. Nor did its unaccountable precipitation into the street seem the act of a household, nor could I believe that a nursery governess had thus sought diversion from the roof above. I hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to meet this emergency. Then I boldly attacked the slipper from the house to proceed, I rang until a politeman, whose speech was fragrant of the Irish coast, bade me desist, informing me that the family had only the previous day left for the shore. The house, he assured me, was utterly vacant. That, Miss Hollister, is all there of the story. But ever since I have carried that slipper with me, it was in my pocket tonight as I traversed the upper halls of your house, seeking the ghost of that British soldier, and I had just discovered my loss when I heard you calling. In returning it you have conferred upon me the greatest imaginable favor. I have faith that some time, somewhere, I shall find the owner of that slipper. Would you not infer from its diminutive size and the fine, suggestive delicacy of its outlines, that the owner is a person of aristocratic lineage and of breeding? I will confess that nothing is nearer my heart than the hope that one day I shall meet the young lady—I am sure she must be young—who wore that slipper and dropped it, as it seemed, from the clouds at my feet there in sedate Beacon street, that most columns of residential architecture." "Mr. Ames," began Miss Hollister in "Mr. Ames," began Miss Holtister humorously, with an assumed priority that but some behind. I opened small the door Heskiah varied in size, except, yet I then saw that if he had seen so and a young man of your pleasing appearance, I ground himself her window one of her windows might very easily have become deformed from Heskiah's fast and falcon with a mere calculation directly in front of you. But now, Mr. Ahn, will you kindly carry your candle into that trunk room? The foundations of the world shook as I remembered the compact by which Heskiah was excluded from the house and realised what her impending discovery would mean to Cecilia, her father and the wayward Heskiah too. But I was in for it. Miss Octavia indicated by an imperious nod that I was to precede her into the trunk room, and I strode before her with my candle held high. But the sprites of my mystery were still abroad at Hopedfield. The room was unoccupied save for the trunks. Heskiah had vanished. Instead of sitting there to await the coming of her aunt, she had silently departed without leaving a trace. Miss Hollister glanced up at the trapdoor in the ceiling, and so did I. It was closed, but I did not doubt that Heskiah had crawled through it and taken herself to the roof. Miss Octavia would probably order me, at pace to the battlements, but worse was to come. "Mr. Amen," she said, "will you kindly lift the lid of that largest trunk?" I had not thought of this, and I shuddered at the possibilities. She indicated the trunk upon which Hesekiah had sat and nibbled her cracker not more than ten minutes before. Could it be possible that when I lifted the cover that golden head would be found beneath? My life has known no blacker moment than that in which I flung back the lid of that trunk. I averved my eyes in dread of the impending disclosure and held the candle close. But the trunk was empty, incredibly empty! My courage rose again, and I glanced at Miss Octavia triumphantly. I even jerked out the trays to allay any lingering suspicion. Why had I ever doubted Hesekiah? Who was she, the golden haired daughter of kings, to be caught in a trunk? She had slipped up the indder while I talked to her aunt and was even now hiding on the roof, but it was not for me to make so treasonable a suggestion. Miss Octavia might press the matter further if she liked, but I would not help her to trap Hesekiah. Miss Hollister did not, to my surprise and relief, suggest all inspection of the roof. She nudged her head gravely and passed out into the hall. "Mr. Ames, if I implied a moment ago that I doubted your story of the dropping of that tan pump from a Beacon street roof or window, I now tender you my sincerest apologies." She put out her hand, smiling charmingly. "Pray return to the occupations which were engaging you when I interrupted you. You have never stood higher in my regard than at this moment. Tomorrow you may tell me all you please of the ghost and the mysteries of this house, and I dawn say we shall and the bones of that British soldier somewhere beneath the foundations. As for that triding bit of leather you hold in your hand, it's rather pansy for Beacon street. The next time you tell that story I suggest that you play your game of drop the slipper from a window of Rittenhouse square, Philadelphia." Heskish on the roof was safe for a time. Miss Octavia's gentle rejection of my Beacon street anecdote and her intimation that Heskish had been as unhilled participant of the comedy of the ghost had been disquieting, and in my relief of her abandonment of the search I loitered on downstairs with my hostess. I wished to impress her with the idea that I was without urgent business. Heskish would, beyond doubt, amuse herself after her own fashion on the roof until I was ready to release her. As I had quietly locked the trunk room door and carried the key in my pocket I was reasonably sure of this. Humility is best acquired through tribulation, and my Heskish sat among the chimney crook nursing one stockinged foot and waiting for me to turn up with her lost slipper it would do her no harm to nibble the bitter fruit of repentance with another blacuit. CHAPTER XVII. THE memoranda of my adventures at Hopefield Manor fall under two general headings. On the one hand were the ghost and the library chimney, on the other the extraordinary gathering of Cecilia's authors. As I followed at Miss Octavia's side she seemed to have dismissed the ghost and the fractions chimney from her mind. Her humor changed completely. As in the morning, when, unaccountably abandoning her habitual high flown speech, she had asked me about Cecilia's silver notebook, she seemed troubled, and when we had reached the second floor she paused and lost herself in unwonted preoccupation. "Let us sit here a moment," she said, indicating a long davenport in the broad hall. For the first time her manner betrayed weariness. She laid her hand quietly on my arm and looked at me fixedly. "Arnold," she said—"you will let me call you Arnold, won't you?" she added plaintively, and never in my life had I been so touched by anything so sweet and gentle and kind—"Arnold, if an old woman, like me should do a very foolish thing in following her own whims and then find that she had probably committed herself to a course likely to cause unhappiness, what would you advise her to do about it?" "Miss Holllister," I answered, "if you trusted 'Providence this morning to send you a corpse of servants when youa had been most unfortunately scattered by ghosts or rumors of ghosts, why will you not continue to have confidence that your affairs will always be directed by agencies equally alert and benevolent? "I don't know the game, but I have found out a list of things without being bellied, so as not to wrinkle. Remember that I have something quite innumerable, completing given, to think you imperson- ate. I have much experience, you know, the elusive you placed in the way of my disguise by coming in ahead of me this morning for the place of the house. I watched, but neverly, but she was in me when discomfited. "Well, I bearded them the moment Kilda knighted, then book," she laughed. "I had faith in you, and I wanted you to manage it all for yourself. I rather guessed that you would go to Pepperton. That was when I still believed." "But you must go on believing. Makebelieving is the main cornerstone and the keystone of the arch of the happy life." "You are sure you are not mocking a foolish old woman." "You are the wisest woman I ever knew." I asserted, and my heart was in the words. "I believe you have persuaded me, but Cecilia." "Leave it to me; trust me; lean upon me. I assure you that all will be well." She bent her head and yielded herself to reverie for a moment. Then she sprang to her feet in that indescribably light, graceful way that erased at least fifty of her years from the reckoning and was herself again. "Arnold Ames," she said, laughing a little but gazing up at me with unmistakable confidence and liking in her eyes, "we will go through with this to the end. And whether that slipper really fell at your feet in Beacon street or in the even less likely precincts of Rittenhouse square or under the windows of the Spanish embassy in Washington. I believe that you are my good knight and that you will see me safely through this singular adventure." And I, Arnold Ames, lately a student of chinmams, beet and kissed Miss Octavia's hand. She led the way to the library, where I thought it will to appear for a moment, and I was heartily glad that I did so. It was joy enough for any man that he should have earned such glances of hatred and suspicion as the suitors bent upon me. There they were, some standing, some scathed, about Cecilia, I bowed low from the door, feeling that to offer my hand to these gentlemen in their present temper would be too severe a strain upon their manners. As Miss Octavia appeared several of them advanced courtly and engaged her in conversation. She found a seat and called the others to her on the plea that she wished to ask their opinion touching some matter. I believe it was a late rumor that, Andree, who had gone ballooning to discover the Hyperboracus, had been heard of somewhere. Cecilia appeared distract, and I wondered what new turn her affairs had Bent and Kissed Miss Octavia's Hand. taken. She rose as I crossed the room, and from her manner I judged that she welcomed this chance of addressing me. "You have scorned the library tonight. Has there been trouble? Is Ann Octavina alarmed about anything?" Cecilia was a beautiful, charming woman of the world, but I felt her spell less tonight. It may be that the presence of Hezekiah's slipper in my inside coat pocket, pressing rather insistently against my ribs, acted as a counterirritant. "You are in difficulty. Miss Cecilia." I said. "Please tell me in what way I may serve you." "I don't know why I should appeal to you." "No reason is necessary. I have told you before that you need only to command me. We may be interrupted at any moment. Pray go on." "I have lost an article of the greatest value to me. It has been taken from my room." For a moment only I read distrust and suspicion in her eyes as it occurred to her that I had access to every part of the house, but my manner seemed to restore her confidence. And she could not have forgotten that her own father had met her secretly on the roof of a house that was denied him and that I was perfectly cognizant of the fact. "I am sure you can be of assistance," she said. "There's something behind this ghost story. Some one has been in and about the house. You believe that." "Yes. There has really been a sort of show, you know." She shrugged her shoulders. Charlotte met in patience with ghosts, and we were losing time. My conversation --- with Cotifia was annoying Wingham, as was phila from his nervousism. "I want to my room for a moment while Aust Octavia was above, with you. I suppose, just after the elephant gave another of its strange demonstrations. I remembered that I had left my little silver bound book that, I usually carry with me, on my dressing room table. It contains a memorandum of great importance to me. It positively cannot be duplicated. I am sure it was there when I came down to dinner. But it was not on my dressing table or anywhere to be found." "You may be mistaken as to where you left it. You would not be absolutely positive that you left it on the dressing table?" "There is not the slightest question about it. I had been looking at it just before dinner. I had sent you a note, you know, immediately after you came back and hurried down to see you." "Yes; I recall that. You were in the library when I came down. And I think I remember having seen the little trinket—slightly smaller than a cardcase, silver backed and only a few leaves. You had it in your hand the other night when I came in after Mr. Hume had left." She flushed slightly at this, but readily acquiesced in my description. Miss Octavia's inquiry as to whether I had seen the book camp back to me and no less clearly her withdrawal of her question almost the moment she had apoken it. I fak't the sudden impingement of Hesekiah's slipper upon my own conscience. If I may state the matter, Hesekiah, playing ghost, had confessed to me that she had visited Cecilia's room. Hesekiah, amusing herself with the library chimney and frightening the servants by stealing into the forbidden house through the coelioke, was a culprit to be accolied and forgiven. But what of Hesekiah mischievously filching an article of real value to her sister? I did not like this turn of affairs. I must get back to the roof, find Hesekiah and compel her, to return the silver book. Only by tactfully managing this could I serve well all the members of the house of Hollister. But first I must leave Cecilia with a tranquil mind. "I thank you for confiding this matter to me. Miss Hollister. Please do not attach ampleplon to any one until I have seen you again." "But if you should be unable to re-store"— "I assure you that the book is not lost. It has been mislaid, that's all. I shall return it to you at breakfast. I give you, my word." "Do you really mean it?" she faltered. "Please keep this from Aunt Octavia! I can't tell you how important it is that she be kept in ignorance of my loss. The consequences, if she knew, might be very distressing." Miss Octavia was carrying the invincible John Stewart Dick away to the billiard room. He glared at me murderously as he trailed glumly after the lady of the manor. The others were crowding about Cecilia again, and I yielded to them willingly. As I waunted toward the door Ormsby detained me a moment. His manner was arrogant and he hissed rather than apoke. "I'm directed to command your presence at the Prescott Arms tomorrow at 12 o'clock. The business is important." "I regret, my dear brother, that I shall be unable to sit with you at that hour in committee of the whole, and for two reasons. The first is that I am paired with Lord Arrowood. You refused to take him into your huge compact and allowed him to be thrown out of the inn for not paying his bill. The act was deficient in generosity and gallantry." "Then I suppose you would think it a fine thing for such a paper to marry a woman like that—like that, I say?" and he jerked his head toward Cecilia. "I consider a lord of Arrowood as good as the proprietor of a knitting mill any day, if you press me for an opinion." I replied amiably. "And this from a chimney sweep!" he sneered. "You flatter me, my dear sir. I've renounced soot and become a gentleman adventurer merely to prevent a type that long illuminated popular fiction from becoming extinct. I advise you to fill the void existing in the heavy villain class. Believe me, my talents would carry you far. Study Dumas and forget the wool market and you will lead a happier life. My second reason for declining to meet you at the Army at 12 tomorrow is merely that the hour is inconvenient. I assume that you mean to urge lunch upon me, and I never eat before 1. My doctor has warned me to avoid early lunches if I would preserve my figure, of which you may well believe me justly prodded." "You're a coward—that's all there is to that. I dare you to come." "Well, as I think of it, I'd rather be dared than invited. If I find it, quite convenient I shall drop in. But you don't keep the waffles hot for me. Good evening."

First Complete Volume Containing Facts and Statistics Covering Whole Field of Journalistic Effort Among Afro-Americans in the United States Soon to Come From the Press. Nashville, Town. Through the cooperative influence of the representatives of the various publications and periodicals in the ranks of the National Negro Press association since the election of officers at the Chicago meeting last August several forward steps have been taken "for the highest development of Negro-journalism." One of the splendid moves, which is a distinct accomplishment in the interest of the Press association, is the work of the corresponding secretary in the compilation of a newspaper directory. This book, which is now in the hands of the printer, will be issued from the press about June 15. Mr. Henry Allen Boyd of this city has notified the president, Mr. R. W. Thompson of Washington, and the chairman of the executive committee, Mr. N. B. Godson, that proofs of the first two pages of the book have been read, corrected and approved. Interesting indeed is the matter contained in the publication, which, in reality, is the first complete volume of facts and statistics bearing directly upon our newspapers, editors, printers, publishers and bankers of the United States. Secretary Boyd states that the publication will contain a complete set of postal laws and regulations governing second class mail matter, which will be of vital importance to publications seeking admission into the mails as second class matter. The book gives, as far as could be ascertained, the name of every newspaper, magazine or publication issued in, for or by the race, with the respective state and city in which it is published. The name of the editor and manager, date of establishment and circulation are also given as well as the number of papers published in each state. In addition to this, the author has prepared an exceptionally well prepared list of printers' supply houses, which furnish paper, ink, type, type-setting machinery, engravers and lithographers. There is also an accurate list of the banks, bankers and concerns doing a banking business. This is regarded by the compiler and author as vital, in that it will give the local newspapers an opportunity to know where the financial institutions of the race are located. Secretary Boyd declares that already applications have come in for 300 copies of the directory. The first books issued will be sent to the officers, members of the executive committee and members of the Press association. The next lot to the business men and bankers in their order named. The publication is to be limited, but the offer to the members of the Press association will entail only the actual expense of the book. A personal letter has already been sent to the association members stating the object and virtues of the National Negro Newspaper Directory, Publishers and Printers' Guide. The mechanical work on the book is being done by the National Baptist Publishing board at Nashville, Tenn., of which Corresponding Secretary Henry Allen Boyd is one of the officials. Well Edited Denominational Paper. The Voice of Missions, edited by the Rev. Dr. J. W. Bankin and published by the missionary department of the A. M.

Derrick, scenes in Sierra Leone, a group of West African soldiers, native Africans weaving cotton, Chief Kubuhn, a picture of Rev. R. H. Hatchet and the likenesses of Senior Bishop Henry M. Turner, retired, who for the time being takes the place left vacant by the death of Bishop Derrick. The articles are many, varied and interesting. Commencement at Union University. The annual gathering of graduates, former students and the many friends at the Virginia Union university the first week in June was the largest since the consolidation of the institution on its present site in Richmond, Va.

The principal speaker on this occasion was Dr. Gustavus Henderson, whose subject was "The Status of the Negro In Relation to the Present Sanitary Conditions." Dr. Henderson pointed out many helpful agencies to health conditions and laid much stress on the necessity of every individual keeping a clean body, wearing clean clothing and living in clean and well ventilated rooms. Others who took part in the program were Mrs. Dorothy Hudgins, Jersey City, N. J.; Professor G. H. Marshall, Mrs. Blanche, Johnson and Mossra Larry Chambers and John E. Berry of Brooklyn. Dr. Albert B. Rold is president, Miss W. G. Rowe secretary and Dr. Charles R. Roberta chairman of the board of directors. Rev. Dr William R. Lawton is pastor of the church. New York's Governor as Humanitarian the friendship of Governor Suzler of New York and Editor Lark of Brooklyn commenced when former President Roosevelt discharged the soldiers at Brownville, Tex. At that time Governor Suzler, who was a congressman from New York, defended the soldiers and demanded that a hearing be given them. Editor Lark, in a strong editorial in the Brooklyn Eye, praised the congressman, and so pleasing was the editorial that he shulker made a clipping of the same from the Eye, framed it and bung it to his law office it Broadway. BURAL BUSINESS LEAGUE. Not Misha Heard of Maryland Body Doing Effective Work. Relay, Md. - The work of business honors in citizen, as a rule, receives much favorable mention in our work- y papers, but those in rural demonstration compared almost entirely of farm- All are evident conditioned. This evening situation, however, is not because the rural business organization is not doing good work, but rather on account of lack of opportunity to get their matter in the paper. The Panama Business league is the organization which we now desire to present to the public. It is composed of farmers residing near this place, a few miles beyond the city limits of Baltimore. It is doing a most praiseworthy work. The members of this league pool themselves together to buy fertilizer, seed and other farm necessities in large lots and are thus enabled to secure their supplies at much lower rates. General co-operation seems to be the watchword among them. Not one of the members is assessed on the tax-books of the state for less than $3,000, and several are rated as high as $30,000. Each member has a farm ranging from 50 to 500 acres. Every man has a fine home. The Patapsco Business league was organised by thirteen men on the lawn surrounding the home of Mr. C. C. Fitzgerald on July 4, 1900. Its organisation followed a suggestion made by Mr. Spencer Patterson, a prosperous truck farmer of the vicinity. The present officers are: C. C. Fitzgerald, president; John H. Jackson and Joseph Willham, vice presidents; George M. Patterson, secretary, and William Ware, treasurer. President Fitzgerald is regarded as an authority on civil and testamentary law. He has avoided publicity, however, being a very modest man. Among the many estates that he has settled are those of the late William Hall, who left $78,000; the Maryland property of Frederick Douglas, the estates of the late John Henry Butler and James W. Danbury, and he is just finishing the settlement of the estate of the late Alexander Hemsley, who left $19,000. Mr. Fitzpatrick is a native of Johnson City, Tenn. He was educated at Bercer college, Kentucky, and the Howard university law school in Washington. WILMINGTON REPUBLICANS MAKING GREAT CAMPAIGN Hon. John O. Hopkline Amured of Mad jority Vote For Councilman. Wilmington, Del.-The voters of this town are taking great interest in the coming municipal election, which will be held on Saturday, June 7. The colo- red citizens of the Sixth ward will again have the opportunity of placing one of their number in the city council. The man for whom they will vote is the Ion. John O. Hopkins, who at the primary elections in May defeated two Republican candidates by a majority of forty-eight voters. There are 1,300 Republican voters in the Sixth ward, and of this number over 800 are Afro-Americans. Already BON. JOHN O. HOPKETT. more than enough white men have pledged Mr. Hopkins their support to assure his election. If members of the race are oen to show their loyalty to one of their number at an opportune time let them do so on Saturday, June 7, by casting their votes as one man for John 0. Hopkins for city councilman. All indications point to his election by a big majority. Dr. Hopkins is a native of Chester-town, Md., but has been a resident here nearly all of his life. He is an associate in the drug business of Dr. Conwell Banton. Both men are well and favourably known among both races in Wilmington and throughout the state. After graduating from the Howard high school Dr. Hopkins entered the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, from which he graduated with the class of 1008. It is a noteworthy fact that each of the six Afro-American members of the class of 1008 became proprietors of business establishments of their own within one year after their graduation. Public meetings have been held every night this week, beginning on Monday, June 2. They have been well attended and characterized by much enthusiasm and interest favorable to Mr. Hopkins. The only other Afro-American who has served as a member of the local city council was the late Hon. Thomas Pottles. The results of Saturday's election will be awaited with statewide interest. MYSTERY. IN GIRL'S DEATH Body Found in Her Home With Gunshot Wound in Head. The authorities are baffled by the mysterious death of Bessie Crowe, sixteen years old, the daughter of Bilas Crowe, a walk-to-do farmer residing in Garrett county, near Cumberland, Md. The girl died from the effects of a gunshot wound in her head just back of her left ear, tearing the back of her head, Md.

SATURDAY.....JUNE 21, 1913. A PECULIAR DECLARATION. The jury in the case of Police Sergeant Peter J. Duffy, on trial for bribery, reported its inability to agree. The case was on trial before day Justice Goff in the criminal branch of of the Supreme Court in New York, poli June 12, 1913. The jurymen stood 11 to 1 in favor of a conviction. Harry L. Whaley white, of 525 W. 135th St. and who is a salesman at 205 Fifth Avenue was the disagreeing juror. He was quoted as saying that he would not take a Negro's word against a white man's word. A white man was a witness against Duffy and also a colored man. He said he had his doubts about Fox, the white man. This is indeed a peculiar statement for a juror, sworn to recognize the civil and political equality of all men before the law, to make. He lives in a city where the most consummate rancals flourish and where viet is admittedly paramount in high places and yet he virtually declares that a white cook's word is to be accepted by him in preference to a colored citizen's sworn declaration. This shows the extent of race prejudice in this country and emphasizes the fact that we have absolutely no chance in the courts of law. This is the work of the Tillmans, the Vardamans, the Dixons and other Negrohaters of that lik and stripe. Respectable colored men are placed on a par with the crap-shooters, the bar-room sots and the jail-birds of our race. On our part we are making no organized effort to correct the evil. Practically, every colored man of prominence is at war with every other colored man. We are being played one against the other. We exercise prejudice and envy in our dealings between each other and as a result we are building the gallows of race prejudice upon which one after another of our rights of citizenship is being executed. It may be that we shall yet awaken the Ct from our lethargy and make some positive effort to check the trend of events which are tending to envelop the pe and destroy every hope of our material elevation to the plane of equality of American citizenship. STILL AFTER US. An effort is being made to secure a union station for this city. With the many reasons why this desire of the public should be granted, all were subordinated to the plea of race prejudice. The matter reached the arena of politics and the City Council found it necessary to appoint or designate a committee to investigate the affair. In order to arouse race prejudice and to control the railroad companies the volume of the Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch were elected in the crusade. This journal promoted by the Illustrators Joseph Bavan published in Black face type in its issue of the Lift Institution world. "Richmond has no railroad station in which there are separate waiting rooms for white and colored persons of both sexes." If then states is to body of the article that Elba station has such a separation and that the Southern Railway station is similarly provided. White and colored people are commuting in practically every private family in the city where colored help is employed. This is true, too, of the many shops establishments and the fraction is in evidence. But the politicians, the trouble breakers, are anxious to secure something and immediately the harmless, enclosing colored man is selected to aid in accomplishing this purpose. It does seem to us that the dis- tinguished family of Bryans should be above such methods and that the offspring of the justice loving Virginian should speak the word which would make the repetition of such conduct impossible. We have had enough segregation. It is making hundreds of colored people reckless by driving away that ambition and paralyzing those energies which were brought into play by the friendly contact with the Southern white man. If we are dying out as Dr. E. C. Lovy, the chief health officer asserts, for God's sake let our passing be in peace. We have been denied the right to vote, the right to hold office, the right to live on the same block with a white man, the right to ride in the same railway car, the right to occupy a seat in a street-car hostel a white man, the right to worship in the same church, the right to drink at the same bar, the right to be buried in the same memorial and still the cry against us continues. We ever that if a union station is wanted, some other reasons should be vouchsafed and urged in lieu of the one now agitated against the poor Negroes. STILL DISSATISFIED. It was, openly, asserted that the elimination of the colored man as a voter would bring about clean politics, that incompetent election officers would be retired and the haleyon days would be in the land. Instead of these predictions being realized, politics already corrupt have become more corrupt. The public treasury seems to be in a state of collapse caused by incompetency and the rockless expenditure of money. Some of the best and ablest white men in this city have been sent to the rear. The Richmond, Va. Times Dispatch, which from time to time assumes the task of telling city officials and members of the council what they should and should not do, in its issue of the 144th inst says: Why should the complete count of the returns, in Thursday's primary have been delayed twelve hours? Why should the result have been in doubt until long after dawn? What excuse could there be for such incompetent management of a simple election? The City Democratic Committee is responsible. If it had chosen efficient election officers in every case the result would have been known before midnight. The Times-Dispatch believes that the election was conducted honestly and fairly, but it is of the opinion that not the slightest odor of suspicion should surround an election by reason of delay. In the good old days of carpet-bagger rule it became necessary for good and patriotic men to hold back election returns so that votes that never were on land or sea might be counted if needed, and ever since that time delayed returns in this part of the country have created suspicion which in many cases has been unjustifiable. The inefficiency of the election officials Thursday was inexcusable, and the city committee, who chose them, is to blame. Returns from precincts where the heaviest votes were cast came in early, while precincts with light votes sauntered in after the milkman had made his rounds. Any bank clerk, any public school pupil, could have counted the votes in a fourth of the time, and done it better at that. In elections here after, The Times-Dispatch hopes that the City Democratic Committee will appoint as its officials men who know how to count. By 9 of the evening in November, The Times-Dispatch told the people of Richmond who had been elected President that day by the people in forty-sight states, but the City Democratic Committee's expert accountants couldn't tell the same people whom they had elected to city offices until twelve hours after the election. BRIG. GEN. PERSHING. ```markdown ``` Widow Gats Letter Written In 1861. A letter written from Fort Washington, Md., May 30, 1861, by Henry C. Russell, of Pottsville, Pa., a First Defender, reached his widow in Pottsville on Saturday through the regular channels of the United States mail. The letter was intrusted to a comrade, M. E. Richards, of Pottsown, to mail, and was never sent. Recently Mr. Richards died, and the letters, sealed and stamped, was found among some old papers. The letter was posted. The letter contained a piece of the shirt of Colonel E. M. Ellsworth, worn when he was shot and killed a short time before at Alexandria, Va., when he hauled down the Confederate flag from the Marshall house. The letter is in an excellent state of preservation. Eleven Men Killed by Fall of Rock. Eleven men were killed and two were injured when a section of the lower or express level of the Lexington avenue subway, under construction at Fifty-sixth street and Lexington avenue, New York, caved in. With a roaring sound 2000 tons of granite ripped loose from, the top of the excavation and smashed into splinters on the rock bottom beneath. The parts of the roof that fell is probably about forty feet long. There is twenty feet of solid rock between the local and express levels of the subway at this point, and much of this was loomed at a width of perhaps thirty-five or forty feet. --- Atwood Files Across Lake Erie. Harry N. Atwood, who left Ecorae, Mich. for a flight across Lake Erie to Sandusky, O. arrived safely. After alighting on the water he proceeded to Hickory Island, where he put in on account of a choppy sea. When the lake became more calm he started out again, making Sandusky under his own power. Atwood was none the worse for his night in the open. Atwood was able to remain in the air only ten minutes after leaving Ecorae, and made the trip across the lake on the surface of the water. Engine trouble compelled him to descend. Two Killed by Gas. Joseph Dixon, thirty-five years old, and a woman thought to be his wife, were found dead in a bedroom of a hotel at Lee Park, near Wilkens-Barre, Pa. from naphystation. The couple came to the hotel last Wednesday. They claimed Pittston as their residence and said they had started out on a little trip. Nothing was found to indicate that the couple planned suicide. The police and coroner investigated and they declared that death was accidental. Doctors say the couple were dead at least ten hours before their bodies were found. Roosevelt to Go to Argentina. It was announced in Buenos Ayres, Argentina, that Theodore Roosevelt is coming to Argentina to lecture on the progress of the United States. Colonel Roosevelt's private secretary in New York confirmed the report that the colonel contemplates a trip to Argentina, but added that the details had not been settled. Present plans call for his departure this fall. "That is all we care to say about it now," said the colonel's secretary. Mule's Kick Injures Four. Four men were fatally injured at the No. 3 mine of the Jefferson Coal Co. near Pine Fork, Ohio, when a keg of powder exploded. A kick of a mule which came in contact with an electric wire made a spark that connected it with the powder and the explosion folowed.

Farquhar, seventy-two years old, known for years as the nestor of the Schuylkill county bar, dropped dead in the court room in Potteville, Pa., while acting as counsel for the prosecution in a case in which New Philadelphia school directors are charged with misdemeanor. Mr. Farquhar's colleagues noticed by the pallor of his face that he was getting sick, but before physicians could be summoned he was dead. The three judges, who were busy holding sessions of criminal court, at once adjourned and a meeting of the Schuylkill county bar will be held to pay tribute of remembrance to the dead lawyer. The case in which Mr. Farquhar was engaged was before Judge Koch, the latter as well as members of the bar being almost prostrated by the shock. Ex-Congressman James B. Reilly announced the sad event in Judge Bechtal's court and Fr-Judge A. L. Shay made the announcement to Judge Brumm. The latter, who is three years older than Farquhar, faltered as he announced that court was adjourned, and hurried into the chambers with tears in his eyes. Mr. Farquhar was an intimate associate of Franklin B. Gowen and other lawyers of national reputation who made the Schuylkill county bar famous thirty years ago, and was one of the few surviving lawyers who participated in the trial of the famous Molly Maguire cases. Apoplexy was the cause of death. O HEALTH MINT FOR TODAY. It is well to remember that a fresh cold in the head may sometimes be broken up immediately if treated early by snuffing warm salt water up the nose from the palm of the hand. This is a simple procedure, which can be performed anywhere by any one of ordinary intelligence, without apparatus. A teaspoonful salt to the plum is about the right proportion. In blowing the nose to dislodge the water be careful not to blow so violently as to drive the water into the eustachian tubes, as the result may be deafness. It is a good idea not to use a handkerchief for fifteen minutes after this simple operation. About a pint of water should be used, drawing it through the nasal cavities into the throat, whence it can be ejected from the mouth. If one application does not relieve the congestion and irritation, repeat it in a few hours and take a hot footbath on retiring. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. The Facial Bath: When the water used for the facial bath is hot enough to ring the skin it is too hot to be beneficial. It is likely to cause the skin to become ultraviolet, so that when it is exposed to the sun or wind it will burn and grow red. Hot water for bathing the face should be just hot enough to be used with perfect comfort. After playing golf or motoring it is well to use a cleansing cream, rubbing it well into the skin and removing it after four or five minutes with a piece of absorbent cotton. Then dip a soft cloth in warm water and hold it against the face for a minute or two. Dry the skin gently with a towel with a gentle rotary movement. Follow the massage by dipping a soft cloth in very cold water, using it as directed above, and a feeling of refreshment will well repay the trouble. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Avoid Needleless Heart Strain. The heart is the mainstrain of life. Bodily health and vigor depend upon the integrity of this organ. Let the heart muscle or the delicate heart valves be impaired or injured in the slightest degree and life will become a misery and a torture. It is important therefore for every one, especially for those who are past middle age, to avoid all unnecessary strain upon the heart, in order to maintain its health and efficiency as long as possible. Intense muscular work of any kind if continued for many hours each day will in time affect the heart. Even mental work if it is too prolonged and too intense will result in weakening the heart muscles. The ordinary man cannot be liable that excesses in eating may result in injury to the heart Such, however, is the case Whenever the stomach is overloaded with food the heart must work harder to pump an extra quantity of blood in order to aid the stomach in its added work. Thus a double injury results. The stomach is injured and the muscle of the heart is overstrained. Alcohol or excessive use of tobacco will also greatly impair the strength of this vital organ. Follow the rules of moderation in all things. In this way you will conserve the vitality of all the organs and enjoy perfect health and long life. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Treatment of Warts All caustics are useful in destroying warts, but the cauterization must not be pushed too far. The skin around the wart should be protected with a layer of collodion or some other protective. With nervous patients, to avoid pain, the application of either methyl or ethyl chloride spray is recommended. Destruction of warts can also be effected with the galvanocautery for thermo-cautery. In slight cases the warts may be treated by the application of soft soap. For example, a layer of soap about the thickness of the back of the blade of a knife is spread upon a piece of dannel or muslin placed on the warts and kept there day and night. If it is inconvenient to keep this dressing on during the day, on rising the soap which is on the skin is washed off and either rinse oxide or talc powder is applied. The applications are continued until the wart comes off, this being assisted by scraping the wart after each application. If the soap irritates the skin too much its use should be suspended for a few days. ```markdown ``` Who murdered James Argylef Finger prints give the only slow. Read "The Argyle Coe," our new serial.

Good Home and Address To You You Can Have It Free and Be Strong and Vigorous I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, back of vigor, weakened manhood, falling memory and lame back, brought on by excess, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has curved so many worms and nervous men right in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his many power and virility, quickly and quietly, should have a copy. So I have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men and I am convinced it is the surest acting combination for the care of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who is weak and discouraged with repeated failures may stop dragging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the quickest-acting vestorative, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCH ING Remedy ever devised and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: DR. A. E. ROBINSON. $855 Luck Building, Detroit Mich. and I will send you a copy of this spliceid recipe in a plain ordinary envelope, free of charge.

JUNE 21, 1918. General Perahing Tells How the Tribesmen Were Beaten Back and Overwhelmed. "Probably no fiercer battle since American occupation," is the description by Brigadier General Pershing of the battle with the Moros at Bagasq, in the Philippines, in his report by cable to the war department at Washington. The Moros made desperate attempts to rush the American lines, but they were finally beaten back and overwhelmed. Their leader, Amil, and several other noted outlaws were reported killed; but the total loss of the Moros is not known. One American officer, Taylor A. Nichols, of the Philippinas scouts, was killed; First Lieutenant Edwin H. Rackley, of the Philippine scouts, was slightly wounded, and three Philippine scouts, of the Fifty-first company, all natives, were killed. General Pershing's report was as follows: "On June 12 the Moros' resistance at Bagsak was formidable, and the fort and trenches on the precipitous slide of the crater not only supported each other strongly, but were defended with modern arms. The Moros fatically and continuously tried to rush the American lines, but the careful disposition of our force held the American loss to a minimum. Probably there has been no fiercer battle since American occupation. "Major George C. Shaw, of the Philippine scouts, commanded the right wing, with Company M, Eighth regiment, United States infantry, and the Fortieth company, Philippine scouts, Captain Taylor A. Nichols, of the Philippine scouts, commanded the left wing, with the Fifty-first, Fifty-second and 'Twenty-ninth companies. Philippine scouts. A mounted gun was with each wing and proved of great assistance. At the close of Thursday, Captain Patrick Moylan, of the Philippine scouts, with two companies, was supporting the gun on Mount Bunga, and the American forces occupied a controlling position on the rim of the crater. "First Lieutenant Edwin H. Rackley Philippine scouts, was slightly wounded and three Moro scouts, of the Fifty-first company, were killed. Captain Taylor A. Nichols was killed in the early morning eight and is a serious loss to the army. Amil and several leading outlaws reported killed. Other Moros losses still unknown." A cablegram from Major General Bell not only explains the reason for the attack upon the Moros' stronghold, but assumes responsibility with General Perhinz. General Bell said: "The fight at Bageak was incident to the disarmament policy of the governor general (Cameron Forbes) and the governor of the Moro province, adopted after many months of patient but fruitless negotiations and marked by promises disregarded by the Moros. A situation arose that I believe left no alternative. Amil and a relatively small following, occupying one ward of the island of Jolo, were the only Moros who refused to give up their arms peacefully. Disarmament was generally desired by the Moros themselves. All of the rest surrendered their arms months ago, without resisting. Under the circumstances, it was impossible and unjust to disarm Moros to permit a few of them to retain arms." Grand Vizier is Slain in Auto. The Turkish grand vizier, Mahmoud Scheket Pasha, was assassinated in Constantinople by two men who were armed with revolvers, who attacked him while he was proceeding in his motor car to the Sublime Porte. Ibrahim Boy, his alide-de-camp, was also killed by the assassins. It is understood that the man who committed the crime, are civilians. It is believed. in government circles that the assassination of the grand vizier was the outcome of a plot against the Committee of Union and Progress (Young Turks). Many think the grand vizier was killed in revenge for the murder of Nastim Masp, commander-in-chief of the Turkish army, by Young Turks last winter. Rich Widow Buys Herself a Count So eager was Mrs. Marion Bishop, a young widow of Montgomery, Ala., to marry a titled foreigner, that, after her husband's death, she went to Italy and married with purchasable count- and princes. Mrs. Bishop returned to New York on the Noordam and announced her engagement to Count Lionel Moretti, a retired Heutenant of the Italia- army. "It was the dream of my childhood to be a countess," said Mrs. Bishop. "When I first reached Italy I foun- quite an expensive selection of title and I took my time in deciding Count Moretti. It was more or less business proposition with us both—had a title and I had money. His prices was high, but he was far superior to Russian prince, whose fingers were stained by cigarette smoking. "The Count Moretti has snow-white hands, as soft as a woman's. His nails are beautifully manicured and he creates a sensation every time he enters a cafe. So, as soon as I have settled my affairs here I am going back to marry the count in the fall." Mrs. Bishop said the prices on the counts fluctuate a good deal, but she would not say what Count Moretti has cost her. Her husband was an iron manufacturer. Wilson For Direct Choice, Representative Britten, of Illinois, sought President Wilson's views on his measures to provide a six-year single-tarm tenure for the president and the vice president of the United States, the abolition of nominating conventions, the nomination for president and vice president at presidential preference primaries and direct elections without the use of presidential electors. Mr. Britten said on leaving the White House that the president favored the abolition of national conventions for nominating purposes, but thought them necessary to draft party platforms. He declared that Mr. Wilson approved of presidential primaries and direct election, which would shorten the ballot. On the six-year proposition, Mr. Britten said, the president refrained from comment. Wilson to Visit Panama. Colonel George W. Goethals, chief engineer of the Panama canal, conferred with President Wilson in Washington about his prospective visit to the canal zone. The president told the colonel he would visit the Isthmus as soon as congress adjourned, but did not hazard any guess as to when that might be. Colonel Goethals said he expected to let the water into the canal about Oct. 1. "I can hold the water out for two weeks longer, however," said Colonel Goethals, "if the president should be delayed in getting down, as we want him to see the canal before the water is put in." Four persons are dead and many are injured, some of them seriously, as the result of a rearend collision on the main line of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, opposite the Stamford, Conn., passenger depot, when the second section of the Springfield express, westbound, crashed into the first section, which was just leaving the station. The locomotive of the second section ploughed half way through the Pullman car Skylark, the last car on the first section. The wreckage caught fire. The Stamford fire department was called out, and took the dead and injured from the ruins. Senate Committee For, Women's Votes Senator Ashurst submitted the report of the woman's suffrage committee recommending the passage of the Chamberlain resolution for a constitutional amendment extending suffrage to women. "In this republic," says the report, "the people constitute the government. They are its creators and its maintenance; they are the government. The granting of the elective franchise to women would add to the strength, efficiency, justice and fairness of government, we have not the alightest doubt. Woman Kills Doctor and Herself, Dr. Guy O. Brinkley, a practicing physician, of Savannah, Ga., was killed by Miss Katie Kittles. After killing Dr. Brinkley Miss Kittles turbed the revolver upon herself and, shooting herself through the temple, fell dead across the prostrate form of her victim. Dr. Brinkley was shot three or four times. The shooting took place in Dr. Brinkley's office. Miss Kittles was probably insane. Accused of Using Son as Mule. Charged with hitching his twelve-year-old son, Frank, to a cultivator alongside a mule and working him in the field in a temperature of 120 degrees in the sun, John Friensmouth, a farmer of near Lacrosse, Wis., was south on a warrant issued on complaint of the state humane officer. The business section of Cassandra, a small town near ohnstown, Pa., was swept by fire. Fifteen buildings were destroyed and three dwellings were dynamited to check the progress of the fames. The loss is estimated at $150, $00. Civil Service Board's Head. John A. McIlhenny was designated by President Wilson as president of the civil service commission.

Americans, Headed by Carnegie Congratulate Him. Delegations Call on German Ruler and Present Illuminated Addresses and Costly Gifts. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the accession of Emperor William to the imperial throne was celebrated throughout the German empire as a general holiday. The commemoration which had been deferred from its actual date out of respect to the memory of the emperor's father, Frederick, coincides with the forty-second anniversary of the triumphal return of his grandfather at the head of his victorious army after the Franco-Prussian war and was naturally marked by considerable military display. One of the first delegations received by Emperor William was that headed by Andrew Carnegie. The Americans presented to the emperor an address signed by a large number of their countrmen. The address was in part as follows: "To His Imperial Majesty the German Emperor—On behalf of organizations and societies which represent the effort of American citizens of every section, creed and race to advance the cause of civilization, we venture to express to your imperial majesty our congratulations upon a reign notable in countless ways, in none more so than in the maintenance of twenty-five years of unbroken peace between Germany and the other nations of the world. "The memorable words of your majesty shortly after ascending the throne. The peace of my country is sacred to me," came both from the head and from the heart. Sacred, indeed, is the peace, the order and the prosperity of the German people have been. More than once during the past twenty-five years it has been the high privilege of your majesty not only to exercise peaceful forbearance, but to inspire it in others. "We beg to tender our thanks to your imperial majesty for what you have done to prevent war and to advance the coming of the day when there shall be peace upon earth to mon of good will. In addition to the preservation of international peace we know that every department of government has received and is receiving your sympathetic cooperation. The remarkable developments in the commerce and the manufacturing industries of Germany and the improvement of agriculture owe much to your majesty's judgements. VIRGINIA. MISSISSippi. Nebraska. Virginia. land unwearied efforts "Those of us engaged in the development of the industries, the commerce, the education, the science and arts of your country, and in promoting as far as lies in your power the brotherhood of man, unite in expressing to your majesty our sense of obligation for the example your reign of twenty-five years has set. "We congratulate your majesty upon the notable advance made by Germany in every field of human effort during your peaceful, prosperous and civilizing reign. Long may it continue unbroken." The day began with a "general reverie." The massed military bands from the division of the guards summoned the emperor to his window with deafening music played in the inner court yard of the castle. Then bandmen then paraded Unter den Linden and back playing popular melodies and military marches. In the meantime 7000 school children had replaced the bandmen in the castle court yard, where they sang several songs to the evident pleasure of the emperor. To a delegation of Englishmen received by his majesty the emperor said, "I can assure you I shall continue to do my best to preserve peace and promote the friendly relationships existing between our two countries." The array of deputations seemed almost endless. The delegates represented organizations of every kind and all brought with them illuminate addresses and handsome gifts. SPANKING COSTS $100.000 Mother Overturns Stove and Fire Almost Destroys Town. Mrs. B. Wolfe, of Ferndale, near Montrello, N. Y., tried to spank her young son, and in doing so she upset an oil stove. In the fire that followed twelve business houses and three dwellings, including the Wolfe house, were destroyed. The loss will reach $100,000. The buildings were all wooden structures and the flames spread so rapidly that nearly all of the business section was wiped out. Fremen from three towns were summoned, and they finally checked the flames with dynamite. Infantile Paralysis Killie Ten. Ten children have died of infantile paralysis in the last forty-eight hours in Dequen, Ark.

A playwright who was assisting in staging one of his plays was giving instructions one day to the actors as to what they should wear during the snowstorm in one of the nets. He said: "I want the men to wear their heaviest overcoats during this scene, as it is supposed to be the coldest night in twenty years. Now, don't forget this." He repented this order several times to impress it on the minds of the actors, when one of them, undoubtedly new to the stage and who had no lines at all to speak, approached him: "I have no overcoat, Mr. Blank, but suppose I wear my heavy flannel underwear?" - Metropolitan Magazine.

Who puts on vain air is not counted a man; Not the happy and end, for the swift flyer wears. Bring each man his laughter and each woman his tears. Not: The two kinds of people on earth I speak. Are the people who lift and the people who lean. Whatever you go you will find the world's classes. Are always in it, just the two classes. And, obliquely enough, you will find, too, I want. There only one lifter to twenty who lean. In which classes are you? Are you easing the load? Of overtaxed lifters who toll down the road. Or are you the leaner, who lets others bear. Your portion of labor and worry and care = Kita Wheeler Witczak Had it on Bismarck "In King Edward In His True Colore" is a delightful story of Sir W. H. Russell's interview with Prince Bismarck when the latter was angry with the famous correspondent for reporting in the London Times some things which had been said to him by "Usser Fritz," then crown prince of Prussia. Bismarck lost his temper and said: "I suppose you couldn't resist showing your importance by reporting all that dumberhead confided to you." Russell replied: "Your excellency knows that I always respect confidence. There is much that you have said to me yourself that I have not reported." "Jouff" said Bismarck. "Anything I say to you you may bawl from the top of St. Paul's." Russell—I thank your excellency. I shall use that permission to record your opinion of the crown prince. What She Missed. I was not married long before I discovered that my wife was blessed with the ordinary amount of woman's curiosity. One day while I was out she embraced the opportunity to pick the lock of my trunk. I do not know what she expected to find, but I think she must have been disappointed to discover that it was full, of nothing but biscuits. When I came home in the evening she said, "George, what is the meaning of all those biscuits that I saw in your trunk today?" I replied: "Well, we're married now, so I may as well tell you the truth. When we were courting, whenever I told you a lie, which was sometimes necessary, I made a mental note of it. And, when I went home I would throw a biscuit into my frunk—one biscuit per ha. If during the day or during the evening I told you half a dozen horses I throw in half a dozen biscuits, so these biscuits simply represent the number of horses I told you during our quarterly." She said: "Well, my goodness! It I had only had your forethought and put aside a little bit of choice for every one that I told you we should have had enough biscuits and cheese to last us for life."—Exchange Ship Shape. A story is told of an enthusiastic yachtman the must have been a resident of the British Isles who presented to his wife a magnificent pair of earrings. In one was set a large and costly emerald and in the other a ruby equally large and even, more costly. Thus upon all occasions of ceremony having a nautical aspect and occurring after sundown the lady could appear equipped according to the regulations of the board of trade with port and starboard lights brightly burning. New York Post. Fines and Fines- Years ago in Franklin, Ky., the farmers, coming in from the country, used to insist on tying their teams to the picket fence round the public square. The borsen nibbled the fencing and put the town to much expense. So to break up the habit the town trustees affixed a large plank to the fence with the following warning inscribed thereon: "Fine to Hitch Here." Some weeks later a German tobacco buyer, making contracts for his government, drove into Franklin from a nearby town. He read the sign, but nevertheless tied his horse to the fence. A constable arrested him and took him before a magistrate, and he was assessed $10 and costs for violating a town ordinance. "Vot a rotten; language!" said the German as he paid over the amount. "Der sign says, 'Fine to hitch here.' Und I think myself it was fine und I hitch here.' Und den it goats me $10! I leave this ground!" And he did - Saturday Evening Poet DAZED THE PROFESSOR. And. Left Him a. Little Doubtful as to the Sanity of Dr. Furness. In a paper in the Harvard Graduates' Magazine Owen Wister relates this anecdote of Horace Howard Furness, the editor of the Varlorum Shakespeare: Some time after his reputation as a Shakespearean scholar had become established beyond the sons and learned travelers came to knock at his door, an especially serious, unpliant doctor of something or other, bearing letters of introduction from some German university, was abown one day Into Dr. Furness' town library. Between the library and the hall was a drawing room with a circular ottoman in its center. Upstairs lived a pet squirrel which the cat had eyed so menacingly that watching had become consolation, and the whole household was in suspense. After the usual introductory civilities were exchanged the Teuton speaking laboriously into the outstretched ear trumpet-For Dr. Furnesowas deaf—and while Tleck and Schlegel and oth- ROSSO BEGAN DEATING AT THE CAT WITH THE TRUMPET. er ponderous authors were being discussed, Dr. Furness, through the drawing room door, saw descending the stairs a squirrel in a cat's mouth, and behind them a distracted housemaid. Furness leaped from the solemn professor, who could not see the cause from where he sat, and dashed into the front room, where he met the cat, the squirrel and the maid. The cat dropped the squirrel, which began running round and round the ottoman with the cat after it, the maid behind the cat and Dr. Furness behind the maid. The German professor could not see the animals, therefore, when Dr. Furness tripped and fell and began beating at the cat with his trumpet, and the bodiam chase departed as it had come, leaving the editor of the Varlorum on the floor by the ottoman, the visitor rose, bowed slightly in perfect silence and left the house. And so these two doctors parted. It is not known what the Teutoh said upon returning to Germany. Tail Is the Law If you want knowledge you must toll for it, and if pleasure you must toll for it. Toll is the law. Pleasure comes through toll and not by self indulgence and indolence. Ruskin. Editor Gate Jall Term Alexander Scott, the editor of the Weekly Issue, in Newark, N. J., a paper, which has been supporting the silk mill strikers, was sentenced to serve an indeterminate prison term of not less than a year nor more than fifteen years, and to pay a fine of $250, for "inciting hostility against the government." Editor Scott announced that he would appeal from the sentence. Sentencing of the thirty-eight men and women convicted of unlawful assasin blrage was deferred. HEALTH MINT FOR TODAY. In taking deep breathing exercises diaphragmatic action should be obtained. Place the fingers on both sides, just over the lower ribs, and swell out the chest at this point, when the lower lobes will be filled. When once the pernicious habit of poor, shallow breathing has been broken up the health undergoes such marked improvement, there is such brightening of the spirit and improvement of the looks, that the luxury of deep breathing is not likely to be foregone. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Curing a Cold. The cure of a cold can be summed up in the one word eliminate. Eliminate by the skin, by the lungs, by the kidneys and by the intestines. To produce elimination by the intestines it usually is necessary to take a laxative, for one is liable to be constipated when taking cold. At this time all the secretions of the body are more or less-locked up and unable to do their work, so it frequently is necessary to aid them. It matters little what form of laxative is taken so that the bowels are cleaned out well. Elimination by the kidneys is produced by drinking plenty of water. The hot lemonade also has some effect here, so is doubly valuable. Elimination by the lungs is vastly important. In the early stages many a cold may be cut short by taking long drafts of pure air. Breathe deeply and hold the breath for a few seconds. At night when taking the sweat be sure there is plenty of fresh air in the room. Do not breathe through the mouth unless it is unavoidable. Force the air to come through the nose. Keep the nasal passages clear by spraying the nose with some mild antiseptic solution. The same effect was derived from the older method of "snuffing" salty water up the nose. The virtue of nearly all the inhalations is that they keep the air passages free so that fresh air can enter the lungs. Above all, in the treatment of colds do not "dope up" with all varieties of medicine. The majority of the patent "cold curse" are compounded of a laxative and something to produce periphration. Unfortunately the majority also contain some harmful drug, as phenacetin or acetanilide. Watch out for these drugs on the label, for they are depressing to the heart and may cause considerable damage if used freely. The more simple the remedy the better, for the after effects of many drugs are more harmful than the condition they cure. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Increased Weight at Middle Age. The gain in weight that is so common between the ages of thirty-five and forty-five is never beneficial. As a rule, it is not an indication of improved nutrition, but of a weakening of the eliminating functions, which allows of the increase in weight. At this period the weight should be rather decreased than allowed to increase, especially in women, and this should be done by exercise rather than by change in diet. But if weight increases persistently the tendency should be overcome by fasting from two to ten days periodically. This will avoid many of the common diseases that appear at this time, especially in women, and obviate the necessity for many operations. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Heartburn Heartburn is due to hyperacidity or excess of acid secretion in the stomach. This interference with digestion by preventing the proper digestion of starch, and in this condition acid foods and sugar are especially irritating. It can be relieved, but not corrected, by the use of alkaline drugs. Carbonate of soda and similar remedies may be taken for temporary relief. Acid foods should be avoided. Baked potato is alkaline and is usually acceptable in such cases. The food should be thoroughly mixed with saliva and should be confined for a time to stale bread, potatoes and a small amount of beans in some cases. The mental state is frequently an important factor in the cause and correction of the malady, but lack of proper exercise is the principal cause. Systematic exercise, including walking, should be adopted gradually and followed regularly. The simpler the diet the better. Its Conveyance Provided For. G. R. Rims, the English author and playwright, in recalling experiences of his younger days, tells a story illustrative of the financial condition of those members of London's old time bohemian society who, he says, were not overparticular if their weekly expenses sometimes exceeded the weekly income. They had occasional ac conditioned how low, but only a penniless impatient with banks.

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. When celery is eaten largely an alkaline blood is the result, and where this exists there can be neither rheumatism nor gout. It should not only be eaten raw, but cooked. It should be cut in small pieces and boiled till tender, in as little water as possible, and after adding to this a little rich milk, thickened slightly with flour and seasoned with butter, pepper and salt. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Prevention of Autoinfection The germs which are always found in putrefying food material, inside or out of the alimentary canal, are the necessary accompaniment of putrefaction, and the question may be raised whether more harm than good may not be done by preventing the growth of these bacteria, which are, in reality, scavengers. The natural way to overcome autoinfection is not to produce it by eating improper food and then correct it by the growth of bacteria in the intestines antagonistic to the injurious bacteria, but to adopt such a dietary and to eat in such a manner as to prevent the autoinfection which follows wrong diet. In the prevention of autoinfection the maintenance of a right mental attitude, proper exercise and other means affecting elimination, also thorough mastication, are important factors as well as diet. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Backache that is due to liver troubles may be relieved by toting up the liver and digestive organs generally. Meat should be eaten only in very limited quantities. If it is eaten at all, Alcohol, especially beer and stear, must be excluded from the diet. On the other hand, tomatoes, fresh vegetables, fruit, milk and soda and cereals are suitable items of food, while liberal quantities of hot lemon water would be a better fluid to drink than tea, coffee or cocoa. A little extra care in regard to diet—the daily diet—would very quickly remove the pain or ache that has its origin in a sluggish liver. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY Deep Breathing. The following rules for deep breathing will be found beneficial: Let the clothing be as loose and light and clean and the air as fresh as possible. Breathe in through the nose until this has become a habit even during sleep. Great exorction may demand some breathing in through the mouth, and an occasional gulp of pure air—e.g., at the seaside—is valuable. Attend to the correct position of the body with regard to spine, neck, etc. To lie at first on one's back on the floor will keep the organs in a better position. Some prefer an inclined plank, as it draws the shoulders farther back and does not bring too much blood to the head. Make use of odd momenta, especially just after walking, just before bedtime, on going out into the fresh air and while waiting. This is regularity not of time, but of occasion—a far more important regularity. As an example of regularity of occasion blow your nose directly you awake, even before you wash your teeth; breathe quiet, but deeply, after meals; breathe fully and then relax before, during and after a crisis; go an examination or a visit to the dentist. Bad Reads Some discuss bad roads, while others simply runs them. - Charleston News and Courier. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Sleeping After Meal A reader, referring to the advice given in a recent hint to sit in an easy chair after eating the principal meal and sleep for a few minutes, says that she has found by repeated trials that sleeping in an upright position after eating is beneficial for her, but that if she sleeps in a horizontal position immediately after eating a headache is invariably induced. The tests made lead to the conclusion that there is no objection to sleeping in a horizontal position an hour after eating, but a reclining position should not be taken immediately after eating. In certain cases, however, it is beneficial after a meal consisting of liquid, like milk or fruit juices, to lie on the right side. RELIGION AND YOUTH. Religion must begin in youth. I have often heard people say that it is not right to bring up a child in any religion; that the child should be allowed to decide the question for himself when he is matured. Let me suggest that the person who makes such a statement is either himself deceived or is attempting to deceive some one else. One of the first principles of physics is that nature abhors a vacuum, and it applies in morality, too, for the person who is without religion is filled with irreligion. The man who at twenty-one does not believe in God has already renounced him, who does not believe that the Bible is the word of God has placed it among the works of man. The man who at twenty-one does not bellate Christ is divine has discarded him as a mere man. Foolish is the parent who does not perceive that responsibility rests with the parent for the building up of child's life.—William Jennings Bryan. THE GREAT QUESTION. When we before the gods in judgment stand And deed and purpose of our life are munned. This question shall there be ere questions end: "Were you while living called by some one friend?" —Arthur Wallace Peach. SOCIAL JUSTICE The function of the modern rabbi is twofold—to teach Jewish ideals to the Jew and to interpret Jewish ideals to the Christians. The modern rabbi is not the priest of an ancient theology, but his is the task of the prophet. Which counts most, social justice or the fear of criticism and opposition? No slave, no coward, can help the cause of justice. There are those of us whose hearts remain dumb and unattired to the appeal for social justice. They care not for American principles. The literature and the history of America are unknown to them. Indifferent or cynical, they must be roused to recognize responsibility to acknowledge and fulfil duty. The mission of America is social justice. It is engraved upon the heart and inscribed on the banner of our leader, the president. It is visible in the patient sufferings and hopes of the Jewish people in areas past. Even now are not those who still must suffer for their Jewish manhood and their love of justice? Are there nevertheless some among us who despise, who dare even scoff and jeer at this holy call to action? America means progress. America means social justice. - Habib Leo Mannheimer "In all his financial schemes you bet Brown loa out for No. 1." "I accused him of that." "And what did he say?"
