After being found unconscious from asphyxiation in Miller's Hotel early Thursday morning. 26h, alt., William Stokes, colored: twenty-one years old, died in the Richmond hospital at 10 o'clock that night Stokes came up with J. C. Harris, of South Boston, who came to Richmond to purchase an automobile, bringing the Negro with him to drive the machine back. Stokes went to Miller's Hotel, second and Leigh streets, to spend the night. After locking the door and lowering the window, he blew out the gas and retired. The tranrom over the door had been left open, so it is not supposed that the young man intended to commit suicide. The smell of escaping gas attracted the notice of attendants in the hotel, and the door of his room was broken in. He was in bed unconscious. When employees failed to arouse him, he was rushed to the Richmond hospital, where every means was resorted to in an endeavor to save his life. The body was shipped to Mayo where Stokes lived.

HEMELIAH CHAPTER XXI CELILLA'S hand, that had rested on the pommel of her saddle, stepped to her sible, and she stood erect, her eyes wide with wonder "What do you mean?" she gasped "I mean exactly what I have said. If it had been that strutting young philosopher from the west you would well, you would have allowed him to say what was in his mind. Am I not right?" "I wonder, I wonder," she fainted drawing away the better to observe me. "You wonder how much I know? To relieve your mind without parlaying further, I will say to you that I know everything." Then Aunt Obtaya must have loved you, and that seems incredible. It was distinctly understood. "Your aunt told me nothing. Not to words did any one tell me." "Not by words," she asked, coming to wonderingingly and clearly feeling that I might be playing some trick upon her. "Then can it be that Heszkah but I never Heszkah doesn't know "Trust Hezekiah for not telling secrets." I answered casually. "The one credit for some imagination. The air of Hezekiah is stimulating, and to the few days I have spent in your aunt's house I have learned much that I never dreamed of before." "I don't understand it. You are wholly inexplicable." "I am the stupidest and least gullible of beings. I assure you. Yet I have done some things here not in the slightest way treated to chimpanzee doctoring and something else I expect to do for which I believe you will thank me through all the years of your life." "Ah, if you really know, that is possible," she sighed weightly. "I am very tired of it all. I was very foolish ever to have agreed to Aunt Ountia's plan. You have seen these men. Any one of them might, you know." And she shrugged her shoulders impatiently. "Any one of them might be the seventh man. There, you see I do know. And I mean to help you." She was immensely relieved. There was no question of that gratitude above in her eyes, and then as I marveled at their beautiful dark depths fear suddenly possessed them. The change in her was starting. I caught a floating glimpse of Harley Wiggen riding slowly with bowel head toward the im. It was plain that that glimpse of him had touched Getha's pity. If I had doubted the sincerity of her regard for him before I spurned the thought now I was anxious to repinken born in her. "I have told you enough, Miss Hollister, to make it clear that I am in a position to help you." "But there is always" she began, then closed abruptly and lifted her head proudly "there is always Mr Wiggen's attitude toward my sister. Not for anything in the world would I cause her the slightest unhappiness. You must see that, now that you know her." I lamented about Celtic concern for Hezekiah's happiness was so abused that I could not restrain my midfork for a moment. That pleasure showed promptly in Celtic face. "Pardon me, but maybe you don't quite understand Hezekiah," I said. "Is it possible then that you do? she required care," I imagine your opportunity, of seeing her have not been numerous. "Well, if not so much a matter of seeing her, when you read of her all your life and designed about her, She's in every fairy story that ever was written through the mythologies of all races. Here is the glory of the pure in heart. Her mind like a beautiful bright beam by the sea and her thoughts the dipping of swallow wings on lightly swaying grasses." Celtic's manner changed, and she smiled. "You seem to have an attack of something. It looks serious." I helped her into the saddle, and she looked down at me with amusement in her eyes. My praise of Hoveliah had pleased her, and I felt, as when we journeyed together into town, her kindly, human qualities. She said: "You are not coming home for lunch!" Then I shall see you at 4. I hope the bible places of the ghost will provoke interest. And Oetiva has built her houses high and I may add that she has expressed the greatest admiration of you to me. On her ride this morning she shared that great things are in store for you. I hope so, too, Mr. Ames." She gave her her band and code away. The inn was a nile distant, and I set out at a bikek pace turning over in my mind various projects for controlling The Siege of the Seven Suitors Copyright, 1910, by Meredith Nicholson the characters now upon the stage in such manner that Wiggle should become the seventh man. Cecilia could not always run away from him with out violating the terms of her suitors' adjutment, and it was unlikely that she would attempt further to guide or thwart the painting finger of fate. I relied upon any arrangement of felted among the sultans to stand to gather Home had already found a chance to speak Lord Arrowhead had bitten his nose by his face before Wiggle had the brink only that morning. It was unlikely that any of the active candles remaining would stumble up the key to the situation, which Herekah had given into my keeping. It was well on toward 2 o'clock when I approached the inn. Before long the guards would depart for their after-night call at the marker, which was an established event of the day. Just as I was about to enter the gate I was in rested by an imperious voice calling and John Stewart took a came rummage toward me. To my surprise he greeted me cordially, even offering his hand. "You thought you would come after Well. I'm glad you did. I've decided that there should be peace between us" In stature he was the shortest of the saints, but what he lacked in height was compensated for by a gentlemen dignity. "You have several times addressed, Mr. Amos, in a spirit of contumacy which have beastled to punish him. You have been deprived, but I will willingly let you be forgiven. I had intended to offer myself to Mr. Hollisher this afternoon, with every hope of success, but I yield to you. My only request is that you inform me at once when you have learned her decision." He chapped on his cap and folded his arms, clearly satisfied with the experiences of surprise to which my feelings betrayed me. Could it be possible that he had guessed the truth, perhaps by deductive processes of which I was ignorant? Whether he had reasoned from song remark thrown out by Mrs. Octavia as to the influence of seven in the affairs of life and her application of thatateful principle to the choice of a husband for Castilla, I could not guess, but assuming that he had caught that claw, he might readily enough have insulted the rest. I must not allow him to see what I suspected. "My dear professor, there's an ancient warning against the Greeks bearing gifts. You must give me time to inspect the horse." "Are you questioning my good faith? 'Be it far from me!' I'm a good deal tickled, though, by your gaudial asumption that if I offered myself to this lady I should be declined with thanks." He was again bolderigent. It may have occurred to him that I might know as much as he, but at any rate he grinned. It was a saturnine grin I did not like. "I'm starving to death at the door of an anime, and you must excuse me. Have you seen her Harry Wiggs lately? "I have indeed. He's taken to lonely horseback rides. He's off somewhere now. He hasn't the stamina for a contest like this. One by one the autumn leaves are falling." he added, with special attention, "and I have given you your chance." "Thanks, light brisinging. Sorry from the land of the Ouahallas. For so much courtesy I shall take pleasure in reading all your posthumous works. Let us be proud." With this I left him and entered the low ruffled office. It was really a pleasant rooming room, unspoiled by the usual hotel office paraphernials. Dick had followed close behind, and as I paused, hearing voices raged angry in the dining room beyond, I turned to him for an explanation. As the sutton had been the only guests of the ing since their advent, I attributed the comotion to strife in their own ranks. "You'd better take a look at those fellows. I've quit them—quite out of it. Remember that," said Dick. The dining room door was slightly ajar, and I dung it open. Ornstein, Shaheenberger, Henderson Hume, Grace and Arthotht had been engaged with cards at a round table in an ankle, but some dispute having apparently risen. They stood in their places engaged in amorous debate. As answer as I could determine, some one of them, I think, it was Ornstein—would to abandon the game, which had been undertaken to determine in what order they should be permitted to pay visits to the field in future, the call together having grown intolerable. They were so abashed that they failed to note my appearance. "It's no good, I tell you!" cried Ornstein. "There's no fairness in this unless all take their chances together." "You ought to have thought of that before we began. This was your scheme, but because the cards are run against you you want to quit. I say well go on!" This from Henderson who struck the table sharply as he concluded. "You know Wiggins and Dick weren't going in when we started, and you are going to get them in now. Your naturety to cut the rest of us out by any means seems to have unsettled your mind," shouted Gorse. "I say lets drop this and stand in our original agreement that no man speak till the end of the fortnight." "After that whole scheme has been torn to pieces like paper! There's been nothing fair in this business from the start! We ought to have kept Arrowwood here and held together. And we ought to have got rid of that Ames fellow, he didn't belong in this at all." Ornishly, violet rose to a disagreeable squawk as he begged with this infliction of me. Shallenberg seemed to be the only one of the group who had not lost his sails. In the farther corner of the room, out of sight from the door, but I heard him distinctly as he addressed the other guitors with rising anger. "We're acting like ends, and cabs of the most compulsive part! I only agree with Ornishly. The idea of our sitting here to draw cards to determine the order in which we shall offer ourselves to the polite and most beautiful woman in the world would be coarse and vulgar if it were not so ridiculous! We out of it!" My interest in this colloquy had he me further into the room, and hearing him step on the counter and asked me Dick to help them turn any dish we were using. "I'll just use the the black looks they sent our way D. They Failed to Note My Appearance. were intended. I thought, rather for me. My appearance raised Ornishy to a fresh outburst. "You're responsible! If you hadn't forced yourself upon the ladies at Hempel there couldn't have been this problem." "You're only an inmator anyhow. You want to to the house to fix a chimney and seem to think you are engaged to speak the rest of your natural life there." protested Henderson. Then they dropped me and assaulted Dick. "We'd like to know what you expect to gain by dropping out. You got cool feet might sudden." belooved Ornishy. Goose and Henderson paid similar tributes to the apostate, whose melancholy grin only deepened. Henderson rallied for a final shot at me. "A good horsewhipping is what you deserve," he cried, leveling his finger at me. "Gentlemen, I begin, not without inward quaking, " you have spoken loud, naughty words to me, and in reply I must say that your youth efforts suggest only the melodies of the braving jackass and that your manners, to speak mildly, are susceptible of considerable improvement. "You leave this neighborhood within an hour," beamed Ormsby, and in his efforts to free himself from his chair he backtracked with a crush that elicited through the long rows. "Then summon the coroner by telephone, for I shall not be taken ally." I answered quietly, trying to recall my youthful delight in Portos, Athens and Armenia. "Come along, let us put him out." Henderson was saying in an aside to Ormsby. "You were playing a game here for a stake not yours for the 'winning.' I continued "Now I suggest that you shuffle the pack you three, who are so full of valor shuffle the pack, I say, and draw for the jack of clubs. Whoever the fortunate man I shall take pleasure in pitching through yonder very charming casement." "Agreed," cried Henderson, and the three dung themselves into their chairs. The pliability of their consent had unnerved me for a moment. D'Artagnan, I was sure, would have fought them. I consolled myself as the cards rattled back, but the reflection that, considering the form, I had never in my life had violent hands on a fellow being, I was conducting myself with admirable assurance. My weight had always hung well within 130, and physicians have told me that I was incapable of taking on flesh or muscle. Any one of these men could easily toss me through the window I had indicated as a means, their own exit. Shallibberger caught my eye and is tended with a slight jerk of the head that I had better run before it was to late. The palstinaking care with whi Henderson had fallen upon the card was displeasing, to put it mildly. I nugged me in the throat and offered to hold my coat, "It will not be necessary." I resplies cresciently. "Tender your sword to the other gentlemen." Come, gentle men, cherry. Let us not waste time here." If Ormely turns up the card you a dead man!" I look and confess. Subscribe to The Richmond FLAM ET. Only $1.50 or year in advance "They're all stike to me. I repiled bondy. "them. Ormsby is very beautiful. "I shall hope not to disgure him permanently." But as I spoke my tongue was a wabbly dry clapper in my mouth. I was bending over now, watching the three men pick up the cards, and once, when I misread the jack of spades for the jack of clubs, a shudder passed over me. They were down to the last card, and Ormsby's band was on it. Then I looked at the floor to stendy myself, and hope leaped within me, for there, by Ormsby's foot—a large and heavy one—lay an upturned card, the jack of clubs, whose long symbol magnified itself enormously in my amazed eyes. At this moment I became conscious that something had occurred to distract the attention of the other men, who were staring at some one who had entered nobelessly. "Gentlemen, you seem immensely interested in the turn of those cards. I can glad to have arrived at the critical moment. Mr. Ormsby, will you kindly lift the, remaining card from the table? Miss Octavia stood beside me. She was dressed in a dark brown riding habit—the feather in her fedora that emphasized her moral brisk air. Ormsby turned up the card. It was the ten of diamonds. "Gentlemen," I cried, pointing to the card, what trick is this? Can it be pulated that you have been trifling with me in a fashion for which men have died the world over by sword and pistol? "Kidly caplain, Arnold, the nature of this difficulty." Miss Octavia commanded. "Simply this, Miss Holbler. If I must answer, I had offered to fight three these gentlemen in order. It was agreed that the man who drew the jack of clubs from the pack with which they had been playing should be my first victim. They have shuffled their own cards and have drawn the whole pack and there is no jack of clubs in the pack! The only possible explanation is one to which I hostile to apply the obvious plain Saxon term. "It dropped out, that's all! You don't dare pretend that we throw out the jack to avoid drawing it!" protested Ornishy, though I saw from the glances the trio exchanged that they respected one another. Ornishy and Cromley both checked the card, but before they found it I stepped forward and drove my fat upon the table with all the power I could put into the blow. "Stop!" cried, "I gave you every opportunity to stand up and take a trouncing, but I need hardly say that after this contemptible knave I refuse to sell my hands on you." "Do you instillate—began Henderson, jumping to his feet. "Gentlemen," said Miss Hollier, lifting the riding crop, "it is perfectly clear to me that Mr. Ames has gone far as any psychiatrist need go in protecting his honor." With one sweep of her crop she brushed to the door the three piles of cards that lay on the table as they had been stacked when drawn. "Arnold," she said, with indescribable dignity, "will you kindly attend me to my horse?" CHAPTER XXII Under the Old Flooring. STABLE BOY held Miss Octavia's horse at the Inn door. Her face, her figure, her voice was so dignified as she, the middle girl. STABLE BOY held Miss Octavia's horse at the inn door. Her face, her figure, her voice expressed, outrung dignity as she tested the saddle girth. "You need never tell me what had happened to provoke your wrath, for that is none of my affair, but I wish to say that your contact and bearing on my highest approval. They had undoubtedly hidden, the jack of clubs to avoid the drubbing you would have administered to the unfortunate man who would have drawn that card if it had been in the pack." "I was not in the slightest danger at any time, Miss Hollister," I protested. "By one of those tricks of fate to which you and I are becoming so accustomed the card had fallen to the floor unnoticed. If you had not arrived so opportunely the lost jack would have been discovered, the cards reshuffled, and very likely Mr. Ormely would have been dusting the inn floor with me at this very minute." "I refuse to believe any such thing," declared Miss Octavia, who had mounted and continued speaking from the saddle. "Your perfect confidence was admirable, and I shudder to think of the terrible punishment you would have given them." If Miss Octavia wished to view my performances in this flattering light it seemed unnecessary to object. "It was only a pleasant incident of the day's work, Miss Hollister. I'm going to engage a squire and take to the open road as soon as all this is over." "soon as all what I learn?" she demanded, we keenly. "Oh, the work I've undertaken to do here. I flatter myself that I have made some progress, but within twenty-four hours I dare say that we shall have seen the end." "Your words are not wholly humorous, Arnold." "It is much better that it should be so. You have trusted me so far, and I have no intention of failing you now. If I say that the crisis is near at hand in a certain matter that interests you greatly, you will understand that I am not striking ignorantly in the dark." "If you know what I suspect you know. Arnold Ames, you are even shrewder than I thought you, and you had already taken a high place in my record." "Will you tell me just how you came to visit the inn at this particular hour?" "Nothing could be simpler. I had lunch at the house of a friend on whom I asked. Cecilid left me home here she alone, and on my home I thought I would ride by the Prescott, Arans to see how the guests were faring. You see—she Time and service had dealt even more harmless with an American flag on which the thirteen white stars flotted dimly on the dull blue field. It had been bound tightly about a packet of papers which Miss Octavia asked Peperton to examine. "These are commissions appointing a certain Adontram Caldwell to various positions in the Continental army. Adontram had the right stuff in him. Here he's discharged as a private to become an ensign, rose from ensign to colonel and seems to have been in most of the big dots. 'For gallantry in the recent engagement at Stony point, on recommendation of General Anthony Wayne'-hy Jove, that does rather carry you back." Half a dozen of these documents traced Adontram Caldwell's career to the end of the Revolution and his retirement from the military service with the rank of colonel. A sealed letter attached to these commissions next held our attention. It was addressed "To Whom It May Concern." "I suppose it concerns us as much as anybody," remarked Miss Octavia. "What do you say, gentlemen? Shall we open it?" "We all demanded breathlessly that she break the seal, and we were soon bending over her with our lights. The ink had blured, and in spots, rust had obliterated the writing: I. Roger Hartley Wiggin, some time known as Adrian Camellh "Hartley Wiggin" we gasped. And I felt Cecilia's hand clasp my arm. Miss Octavia continued reading, and as she was obliged to pause often and refer灵活 lines to the rest of us I needed old gave a swine to but he was to please my supperman, you see, I own the Francis Area." With this she rode away, and not needing to risk a further meeting with the angry sutton's from whom Miss Octavia had rescued me by so narrow a margin, I set across the field toward Hopefield. From the stile I new Miss Octavia in the highway half a mile distant, sending her horses along at a spirited canter. I reached the house without further adventures, was served with a cold lunchon in my room, and by the time I had changed my clothes Miss Octavia sent me word that Pepperton had arrived. Miss Octavin and the architect were converging earnestly when I reached the library, and from the abruptness with which they ceased on my entrance I imagined that I had been the subject of their talk. Pepperton is not only one of the finest architects America has produced, but one of the jollest of fellows. He grasped my hand cordially and pointed to the fireplace. "Bo you've at last found one of my jobs to overhaul, have you? You mustn't let this get out on me, old man; it would shatter my reputation?" "Please observe that the fire is drawing splendidly now," I answered. "A ghost had been strolling up and down the chimney, but now that I have found his hair he will not trouble Miss Hollister's fireplaces again." "I have waited for your arrival, Mr. Pepperton, that we might have the benefit of your knowledge of the house in following the trail of this ghost which Arnold has discovered. But we must give Arnold credit for directing the discovery stone and unmask. I destroyed the plans I obtained from your office so that Arnold might be fully tested as to his capacity for managing the most difficult situations." When Miss Octavia first referred to me as Arnold, Pepperton raised his brows a trifle; the second time he glanced at me laughingly. He seemed greatly amused by Miss Octavia's seriousness, but her amiable attitude toward me clearly puzzled him. "It takes a good man to uncover a thing I try to hide. I said nothing to you. Miss Helister, about the retention within the walls of this house of parts of an old one that formerly occupied the site for the reason that I thought you might refuse to buy the estate. The gentleman for whom I built Hopefield was superstitious, as many men of advanced years are, as to the building of a new house, and as the site he chose is one of the finest in the country he compelled me to construct this house—which is the most satisfactory I have built—in such manner that enough of the old should be kept intact to soothe his superstitious soul with the idea that he had merely altered an old house, not built a new one. As it is the architecture to yield to such captives, I obeyed him strictly. So there are two rooms of an old farmhouse hidden under the east wing, and it amused me once I had got into it to preserve part of the old stairway and connect the retained chambers with the upper hall of this house. I had to patch the original stair, which was only one flight, with discarded lumber from the old house, but I datter myself that I managed it neatly. I even saved the old ladies to avert the wrath of the evil spirits. When the umbrella and dyspeptic cure man died—for he did die, as you know—I believed the secret had died with him, as he was very sensitive about his superstitious. Most of the laborers on that part of the job were brought from a long distance, and I supposed they never really knew just what we were doing. I might have known, though, that if a fellow as clever as Anne got to pecking at the house the trick would be discovered. But the chimney, old man—what on earth was the matter with it? "It will never happen again, and I promised the ghost never to tell how it was done." "You were quite right in doing that, Arnold, a ghost's secrets should be sacred; but let us now proceed to the hidden chambers," said Miss Hollister, raiding without further ado. She summoned Cocilia, to whom we explained matters briefly, and at Apperton's suggestion the four of us went to the church. Miss Occhinta might see the whole continuance in the most effective manner possible. My awkward jeep failers in the attempt to convey any idea of Miss Octavina's delight in Pepperton's revelation. She kept repeting her admiration of his genius, and her pride of my cleverness, which, to protect Hezekiah, was forced to accept meekly. When in broad daylight Pepperton found and pressed the spring in the upper hall, and the hidden door opened with a slowness that indicated a realization of its own dramatic value. Miss Octavina crelled out gleefully, like a child that witnesses the manipulation of a new and wonderful toy. "Beyond any question," she kept asserting, "beneath the chambers of the old house down there we shall find the bones of that British soldier who perished here, or it is even possible that a chest of hidden treasure is concealed beneath the floor." We were lighting candles preparatory to stepping down into the dark stairway, and Pepperton was plainly hard put to keep from laughing. Miss Octavia followed Pepperton slowly, pausing frequently to hold her candle close to the stair walls, whose rough surfaces confirmed all that Pepperton had said of the preservation of the old timbers. I had brought a handful of candles, and when we had reached the dark rooms beneath I lighted these and set them up in the black corners of the old rooms, in which Miss Octavia remarked, not even the wall paper had been disturbed. The exit into the coal cellar and concealed openings left for ventilation which had escaped me before, were now pointed out by the architect, who kept laughing at the huge luge of itall. Miss Octavia searched thoroughly for my arms of a trapdoor beneath the planes of the British soldier might repose. If I had foreseen her persistence in clinging to the tradition of the ill fated Bellini should have taken the brave to take a few bites, while the doubles Octavia and Jude brought a stem from the coal room and womens stampling the floor with it even while Pepperton tried to discourage her further investigations. We were all ranged about her with our candles, and these, with the others I had thrust into the corners, lighted the room well. "I'm afraid you've seen the whole of it, Miss Hollister," said Pepperton. "The old house was built after the Revolution, I judge, but your British soldier was probably left hanging to a tree and never buried at all." Miss Octavia had been over the floors of the two rooms twice and was about to desist. She made her last stand in the corner of the smaller room, and as we all stood holding our lights we were conscious that the dull, monotonous thump suddenly changed its tone. She subdued her gratification in the rebuking glance she gave us. Calm and unhurried, she rested a moment on her stick, with the candle's soft glow about her, a smile inebriably sweet on her face. "The timbers may have rotted away underneath. We didn't raise these floors," said Peperton, but we both dropped to our knees and brought all the candle light to bear upon the flooring. Dust and mortar, shaken loose in the destruction of the house, filled the cracks. "Peperton, deeply absorbed, continued to sound the corner with his knuckles. "It really looks as though these boards had been cut for some purpose," he said, whipping out his knife. I ran to the kindling room and found a hatchet, and when I returned he had dug the dirt out of the edges of the floor planks. Silence held us all as I set to prying up the boards. "I beg of you to exercise the greatest care, gentlemen. If bones are interred here we must do them no harrief," warned Miss Otaria. By this time we all, I think, began to believe that the flooring might really have been cut in the corner of the old room to permit the blinding of something. The old planks clung stubbornly to their joints, but after I had loosened one the others came up quickly, and the smell of dry earth filled the room. Pepperton had, at Miss Octavia's direction, brought a chisel and crosier from the stoelroom in the cellar, and he stood ready with these when I tore up the last board, dislacing an oblong space about five feet long and slightly over three feet wide. We were all excited now. The edge of the bar struck repeatedly against something that resisted sharply. It might have been a root, but when Pepperton shifted the point of attack the same booming sound answered to the prodding. Pepperton now thought it might be only an empty cask or a box of no interest whatever, but Miss Octavia, hovering close with a candle, encouraged us to go off. We worked on silently. Pepperton loomed the soil with the bar while I shoved it out. In half an hour we had revealed a long, flat wooden surface, which to our nuxious imaginations was the lid of some sort of box. It must have been nearly 6 o'clock when we dragged out into that candle lighted chamber a stout, well fashioned box. The earth clung to its sides feathedly, and it was bound with strips of leather that the bracelet when the scripting of our tools had burnished it. We pried the heavy lock with a good deal of difficulty, and when it was free Miss Octavia asserted her right to the treasure trove with much calmness. "I should never forgive myself if I allowed this opportunity to pass. You must permit me to have the first look." CHAPTER XXIII. W WE gathered close about her as she knelt beside the box. My hand shook as I held my candle, and I think Miss Octavia was the only one in the room who showed no nervousness. We all exclaimed in various keys as the light fell upon the open chest. The empty color of old garments greeted us at once. The box was well filled, and its contents were nearly all ranged. "It's his ragged regimentals!" cried Cecilia, as we unfolded an officer's coat of blue and buff, easily decrepit and faded; "and he was not a British soldier at all, but an American patriot." P. BARRAS have capped the following from the letter itself, with only slight chirps of punctuation and spelling:² L. Roger Harley Wiggin, some time known as Adonamr Caldwell, having now resumed my proper name and being about to marry and having begun the construction of a habitation for myself wherein I may days, truthfully set forth these matters: My father, Hiram Wiggin of Rhode Island, having supported the royal cause in our late war for independence and an army, and having returned to England and sister having returned to England after the execution of Boston, I joined the Continental Army in July, 1776, setting in various commands thereafter to the best of my ability to the end.³⁴ My father has now returned to Rhode Island and has, I have been there since the time of the war, where I have hope that we may become reconciled. Yet as my services to the country were against his whiles and caused so many people to come into the country where I am unknown, I am decided to resume my rightful name; that my wife and children may bear it and in the hope that I may myself add to it some him. Nor shall my wife or any children that may be born to me know from me " (bally blured). Yet, not eating to eat, nor giving to give, when I have with credit, nor these testimonials of respect and confidence I received as Admonian Caldwell at various times and from various personalities of men, both civilized and unclean, when I under my house now building, where I hope in God's care to end my days to peace I would in like case make him choose again. Ten times following this were wholly illegible, but just before the date (June 17, 1758) and the signature, which was written large, was this: God preserve these American states that they endure in unity and conceive forever. We had all been moved by the roiling of this long lost letter, and Miss Octavian's voice and faltered several times. "Mr. Wiggins once told me that his great-grandfather had lived somewhere in Westchester county, but I fancy he had no idea that Hopefield was the identical spot," remarked Mrs Octavia. "It seems incredible, and yet I dare say the hand of fate is in it." "Oh, it's so wonderful; so beyond belief!" cried Cedda Reverently folding the letter, which, I observed, she retained in her own hands. "It's wonderful," added Miss Orca Slimpromptly, taking the sword, which Pepperton had with difficulty drawn from its battered scabland, "that even a discerning woman like me could have been so mistaken. I recall with humility that last Fourth of July, at Berlin, I reprimanded Mr. Wiggins severely because his family had not been represented in the war for American independence. By the tyrans of circumstances it becomes my duty to present to him the very sword that his admirable great-grandfather bore in that momentous struggle." Several copies of New York newspapers, half a dozen French gold coins, the miniature of a woman's face, which we assumed to be that of Roger Wiggins' mother or sister, were briefly examined; then by Miss Octavia's orders we carefully returned everything to the chest. Several packets of letters we did not open. "Arnold," she said when we had closed the chest, "will you and Mr. Pepperton kindly carry that box to my room? No servants' hand shall touch it, and I shall myself give it to Mr. Wiggins at the earliest opportunity." We had been track of time in those hidden rooms, preserved by the whim of one man that the secret of another might be discovered, and found with surprise, after the ghost had been curled to Miss Octavia's apartment, that it was after 7 o'clock. We had been in the hidden rooms for more than three hours. "We shall have much to talk about tonight, and I fancy we are all a good deal shaken. It's not often we receive a letter from a dead man, so we shall admit no callers tonight unless indeed, Mr. Wiggins should chance to come," announced Miss Octavia. "The next time Hartley Wiggins visits this house he shall come as a conquering hero." "I hope so," replied Cecilia brokenly. "We were still at dinner when the cards of Dick apel the other sultors I had last seen at the Prescott Arms were brought in; but Wiggins made no sign, and I wondered. . . . . . . . . The man"who looked after my need- hanted me a note to the next morning which added fresh hazards to Cecilia's already perilous plight. . "Left with the gardener before 6 o'clock by a boy from the village. Said it was most confidential, sir." I waited till he had left the room before opening it. It read: Gooseberry Bungalow.

This will ultimately result in forcing the Supreme Court back to the basic principles of the republic for the din and confusion caused by such a remarkable decision will continue to reverberate and embarrass the country until the equilibrium of equal and exact justice is restored. When that time comes then the colored people of the country "will come discussion introduced an opinion. It would have taken well-nigh a lifetime to find out, so they grouped in the dark and played a textual "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde" policy in rendering this decision, much to the disgust of the railroad interests of the country, for the reason that each railroad can must come before the Supreme Court upon its motifs and that tribunal must decide whether the rates made are confiscatory or not.—whether the railroad is making country. It has led to the 4 by 5 decisions in the Insular Caxon, the "Now you see me, now you don't" in the railroad route cases, where the轨 link in one case of a similar railroad case was exactly the reverse in another We can see no reason to despair over the outlook in the country so far as it relates to the colored people. We have seen bloomier days than those. All the world may be axiomatic us and a large proportion of us against ourselves, but God in for us. In the th' recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States relative to the (Vill Rights Bill, we are or think we are the final culmination of race hatred. The white people are playing a dear piece for playing "fast and loose" with the colored people's rights in this HOPE IN THE DISTANCE during our day and generation whose助手. While Jack Johnson's conduct has been notorious, it has not been any more so. Thus, was the conduct of John L. Sullivan, heavyweight champion of the world for so many years. Jack Johnson is under conviction under the White Slave Act and is expected to pay a fine and serve a year and a day in the Federal prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He has taken an appeal and is out under a bond of $15,000.00. Why be he bounded by the federal officials can be accounted for upon one basis only, that of race prejudice. We are of the opinion that Jack Johnson has done the wisest and best thing. He declares that he will return to that country in the fall when his case is called, but we have known individuals to change their minds and we are of the opinion that he will change his mind. That he is curious to tussle is significant. There is no treaty now existing between that country and the United States. Jack Johnson has some money left and he is in dueling in high hopes that more awaits him on the other side. He can sell his title to a heavy-weight champion of the world for many thousand dollars, either in a Losing battle or as a result of a compromise. Once a white man secures against this covered trophy, it will remain with him during our day and generation. Just desideration is reported to have left the United States, for Harve.

Smith did not create something of a sensation when this address was delivered, it was because the full import of its meaning was not realised and startling nature of its declarations comprohended. Dr. Edward Wilmot Hyden, the great African scholar made similar declarations relative to Mohammandanism many years ago and did not hesitate to declare it superior to Christianity in its civilising influence and the high moral stamina it imbued in those who professed a belief in its teachings. Dr Smith's address is $ 25. Alexanderine Ave. Detroit, Mich. HUGS, MUSS: SAMPLE We have met Baptist missionaries who have made similar admission relatives to Mohammedanism. Still we hardly think that Right Reverence C. S. Smith can materially strengthen in case by an attack upon the foundation and source of all Christian religion. We must take it as it is without any reservation or reject it. If we would unify the effect of any of its precepts, we should do so from some other of the many books and revelations which this remarkable volume contains. It is admitted that the original documents or records from which this Good Book was translated do not now exist, and accordingly much of its many paratives may be traced to tradition, being handed down from memory, one generation to another. Homer's lord and Odyssey are notable examples of this, culled as they are from profane history. Rt. Rev. Dr. Smith concludes his remarkable address and after urging the importance of America-Haitian scholars specializing along these This, then, is his tribute to Mo. hamamidianism, with an apologetic reference in order to atone in a measure for his practical admission upon this subject and to explain his ap- pararity inconsistent attitude in pranking Mohamidianism and in crie- lesing Christianity. Still, we do not doubt but that this ablo theologian has as his guide the truth and in speaking it, all other considerations of earth are cast. solution solution 'In the awakening and development of the manhood sensor in the native African, Mohammedanism has far outstripped all other religious systems. I make this argument adversely, and without contradicting a modemity of my reality to Christianity. The apparent superiority of Mohammedanism as an equation in the 'sum of the forces making for the civilization of Africa does not arise in the diversity of Christianity per se, for the reason that it is the result of the apprehension of principles rather than the relative merits of the individual themselves.' ly observed the effect of Mohammadianism on the life of the natives on the West coast of the Park (continent first, in 1937, and second in 1947). My observations were focused on the extent of the blinding effects of its intrusion of strong drink on its native African adherents. The result was favorable. As to the mode and measure of the helpful service rendered mankind by Mohammedin amda from that already indicated, which might have been added, its passion for the arts and sciences. Its constitutional unity to interimpeach may be considered as its most valuable aspect in the economy of the well-being of humanity. It is a well-known fact that the Koran interacts the use of strong drink. There is no reserve or permissible element in it: no provision for ecocultural indulgence. The prohibition is absolutely. Mohammedin amda is the greatest total obstacle society that has ever existed. As a Hamite, while I may not praise it, I cannot and mustize it. It for its present relation to Africa is that of a potential barrier to the success of disciplined ambition. From Europe and America. "(in two occasions) I have studied leon of this learned church man is the tribute that he pays to Mohammedanism. In this connection he says: "The amalgamation of Christianity and paganism made Mohammedanism possible. If not necessary. To the query—What beneficent service has Mohammedanism rendered mankind? more than one japethite has furnished an answer by animating that it rescued the Monoclinic idea from the celled aspect of the hybrid form that Christianity assumed during the reign of Constantine. Allah! Allah!—one god—has ever been the rounding cry of the followers of the prophet of Medina.

But the most remarkable declaration But the distinished church man is undermining one's faith in the fundamentals of the Bible. Of course his purpose is to get from under the current commonly attributed to be now resting upon the African or Negro race, but he is taking a long step in the direction of ethosism to do it. He takes a "fling" at Gov. Coloman Blair of South Carolina, and designs himself and our people as America-Hamilton. He advocates the need of a newspaper of national scope, that will be to our race what the London Times is to the English People. He forges thought that the fundamental steps in this direction must be the support of the race journals now in evidence, that we cannot leap into the air upon a moment's notice, that a people who will not support and read a journal will not support and read a paper at memoirs of the Bible. on the first copies of them. "The high criteria for the plenary illustration that is attached to the prophetic portions of the Old Testament cannot be claimed for that which is found in narrative form. It is not necessary for anyone to be inspired to criticize events of which he was an witness, or information that he obtained in an indirect manner through tradition. It is not my purpose to enter into a critical examination of the contents of verses 20-27 of the ninth chapter of Genesis, God ordained that I should ever seek to understand anyone's faith in the funda- It is in no doubt that there is wide diversion of opinion among competent authorities on old Testament expatriates especially as it pertains to Hebrew tradition. There is a presumption, so strong as to host derogation on a certainty, that the Noahic verses 20-22 include belongs to a different period and comes from a different source of tradition than that of the righteous Noah, the son of Liam, who mastered the ark during the flood from whose joins the stream of humanity has flowed since the bow of promise was first sent in the harvests. The ground of contention is that Noah the ark builder and Noah the hushman were not only different persons, but lived in different periods of time. It is to be borne in mind that we are confronted with a tradition and not an inspiration. Scholars tell us that the Bible is composed of three thousand manuscripts, and that there are two hundred thousand variations in the text of the Bible as written in the manuscripts that have been preserved from the work of time, that this is not all. Not only are we contended by the many variations to be found in the carved manuscripts in the different museums and libraries in Europe, but to add to this is the fact that not one of them is the work of the original writers of either the Old or the New Testament. Just think of it. There is not even a letter of any part of the original to the Bible in the original to be found anywhere in the world. Not only have we not the original manuscripts of the Old and New Testament, but we have not being shoved down. He goes on as far as to assert his belief that there were two Nozias and to show a conflict in the blissiness toward upon the children of one Noziah and the curse pronounced upon Ham and his offspring. In plain notice that God's blessing upon Ham words, he declared that no ome not and his children could be nullified by the curse of Nozh because as it is allowed Ham gazed upon his sadness while he was asleep and under the influence of too much wine. To support his contention he regrets as follows: We have received "The Nocturnal Curse" an address in pamphlet form, delivered by Charles Spencer Smith, a Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in the graduating classes of W. Johnson O. University, June 19, 1913. It is permissible in that an ox jounter of the roar of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and a professed believer in the Old and New Testament should not only question that openly express an unbelief in the verbal description of the Scriptures and the corruptions of its transmission from the original documents.

ADVERTISING RATING Published every Saturday by JOHN MYONELY, 22, at 11 N. North Street, Manhattan, Vt. ARREST FOLLOWS THE INQUEST Harold Smith Hold in Connection With Girl's Death. Gas Company Manager Is Held as an Accessory Before and After the Criminal Operation. Harold Smith, general manager of the Home Gas company, of Salisbury, Md., was held by the coroner's jury as an accessory before and after the fact to the illegal operation that resulted in the death of Florence Wainwright. Smith, who is about forty years old, married and prominent in business in Salisbury, was arrested and held in $5000 ball. Florence Wainwright, twenty-four years old, was bookkeeper of the gas company. Her body was found in the office of the gas company on Friday night, June 20. A medical examination showed that death had been caused by an illegal operation performed a few hours before. Smith was arrested by Roy E. Smith, the sheriff, in the gas office and he was arraigned before Squire Covington, also the acting coroner of Salisbury. The accused man sent for Colonel Marion Hemphreys, managing director of the gas company, to enter ball for him. Smith declared that he was innocent of the charge and that everything would come out all right. The verdict of the coroner's jury on which the warrant for Smith was based reads substantially as follows, according to William S. Powell, one of the jurors: "We, the jury, find that Florence Wainwright came to her death in or about the office of the Home Gas company as the result of a criminal operation performed, and hold Harold Smith accessory thereto both before and after the fact." "I drove them to the tall timber and I am satisfied," said Powell: "I would never have signed the verdict if they had not put Harold Smith's name in it." Smith's name was freely used in the case since Miss Walnwright died. He lives in Camden avenue, Sallabury, with his wife and two children. Powell, the juror, explained some side lights of the inquest on Friday night which are startling, if true. According to Powell, the jurors were deliberating when a verdict was sent to them asking them to sign it. It read in substance as follows, according to Powell: "We, the jury, find that Florence Walnwright came to her death from an operation at the hands of a person or persons unknown to this jury." Powell said he refused to sign the verdict, and that Ralph Williams, an other juror, also declined to be bound to the verdict. The state's attorney said he did not write out any verdict, and no one can be found to say who did. Powell does not know, he said, where the verdict came from. "I stood alone in the fight," he said, "the others being in favor of returning a verdict whifewashing the suspects and hushing up the affair. The inquest was improper from the fact that it was a star chamber affair. We had no sooner started to deliberate than we received what is termed a petition asking us to bring in a blanket verdict covering up the facts of the case. The evidence, however, was clear on certain points, and I refused to yield from my position." Powell declared that the operation was performed in the gas office between 2 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon of June 20. Jack Johnson Sails For France. Jack Johnson, the negro pugilist, sailed on the Allan liner Corinthian for Haire, France, on Sunday from Montreal, Can. His departure was watched by representatives of the immigration department, who had he not sailed, were prepared to arrest him, pending deportation proceedings as an undesirable alien. There were, however, no unexpected developments. His wife sailed with him. Their baggage consisted of eighteen large trunks and valises. He had also a limousine and a touring car embarked on the steamer. There was much disgust among the other cabin passengers at Johnson bein' gallowed, to travel with them, but it is undersood that his meals will be served to him in his stateroom. Johnson is under sentence of a year in jail for white slavery and jumped his ball. Family of Six Murdered. That John D. Jacobs, a farmer, who lived at Peak, near Columbus, S. C., and his wife and four children were murdered, their house being afterward set on fire to hide the crime, was the conclusion reached by the coroner's jury at inquest. A milkman discovered smoke issuing from a grove where the Jacobe home stood. Investigating, he found the house almost destroyed and several charred bodies in the ruins. The inquest disclosed that Jacobs. That is what counts. There must be co-operation, mutual aid and assistance.

The bodies of all except that of the oldest son, Leslie, were found being in their beds, as if they had been murdered while they slept. The body of Leslie was found be- fore the fireplace, with a shotgun be- side it. A gun was also found beside the charred body of Mr. Jacobs and an ax near the body of another of the boys. The skulls of Mrs. Jacobs and the daughters were crushed as if by a heavy blow, and blood was found beneath the other bodies. The mattress upon which the youngest boy lay was soaked with blood. No arrests have been made and the authorities have no clues. Twelve Boys Drowned. Twelve boys, and possibly more, all of them small lads from eight to twelve years of age, and the children mostly of poor working people, lost their lives in the Merrimac river at Lawrence, Mass., when a runway leading from the river bank to a municipal bathhouse collapsed under the combined weight of about fifty youngsters who eagerly crowded upon it, all anxious to be the first to get undressed and into the cooling stream. When the runway crashed down into the stream a fearful scene followed. The mass of humanity struggled, fought and screamed desperately for their lives. They trampled each other down into the mud in their struggle to keep above the surface. Children in their fright grasped each other by the throats and went down fighting each other, locked in a death grip, while others kept their heads and managed to scramble to the shore, where they were helped out by other boys, who had been unable to crowd upon the runway before it wont to pieces, or by men who came hurrying to the scene in response to the heart-rending cries. 1,600,000 Women Get the Vote. Governor Dunne, of Illinois, signed the woman surge bill passed by the general assembly. Moving pictures of the signing were taken. Mrs. Dunne, wife of the governor, was present and sat in the picture as first lady of the state. Mrs. George-Willbur Trout, Mrs. Sherman M. Booth and Miss Antoinette Funk, the suffrage crusaders who labored in Springfield for a week to get the bill passed, appeared at the governor's office. By his signature Governor Dunne made Illinois the first state cast of the Mississippi to give women the right of the ballot. right of the ballot. About 1,600,000 are affected. Attorney General P. J. Lucey does not find the suffrage bill unconstitutional. He takes the ground that the danger for the bill will arise when its champions seek to put it into operation. The bill will become law on July 1. After that any attacks on the measure will have to be made in the courts. The bill provides that Illinois women of legal age may vote for all statutory offices. Two Miners Fall to Death. Dropping 1200 feet down the shaft of the Kaska William colliery of the Atlantic Coal company, in the Schuylkill valley, near Middleport, Pa. Peter Musk and Michael Mero were dashed to death. The two men were working on a battery doing some blasting. The concussion loosened this platform of timbering and they plunged headlong to their doom. Tons of earth, and debris were loosened and fell upon and about them at the bottom of the shaft. It took a rescue party fifteen hours to recover the bodies. Curtis Guild Robbed of $51,000. Curtis Guild, who recently resigned his post as United States ambassador at St. Petersburg, was robbed of $1000 in cash and a letter of credit for $500, 000. Mr. Guild is staying at a hotel in Paris. Xavier Guichard, head of the criminal investigation department, and a large force of detectives were at once sent out to search for the thief. Japs Driven From California Town. Anti-Japanese sentiment at Hemet, a small town near Riverside, Cal., was manifested when a party of citizens met an apricot picking crew of Japanese from Riverside and ordered them to leave at once. The baggage of the Japanese was thrown aboard the trails after them. There is not a Japanese in Hemet. Chokes to Death on Plum Stone. The pit of a plum, hardly larger than a pee, lodging in the throat of Thomas Quinlan, twenty-two years of age, of Philadelphia, slowly choked him to death.

Who Can Solve This Mystery? O ONLY THE FINGER PRINTS CAN TELL "The Argyle Case" successful play Harvey J. O'H tective Will Soon to Begin The Nut Cracker. Mrs. Cooke had a new servant, and after the first cake was baked the mistress went to the kitchen. "Delia," said Mrs. Cooke, "your cake was very good; but there were not enough nuts in it. When you make another please remember I like plenty of nuts in the cake." "Well, mom," replied the girl, "the reason I didn't put more in was because I couldn't crack any more today. Indeed, mom, so my jaw burns yet from them I did crack." "Lippincott's." Since Secretary of State Bryan's editorial defending Attorney General McReynolds' interference with the prosecution of the Diggs-Caminetti white slave cases, it has been whispered about in Washington that the next article in the Commander, from Mr. Bryan's pen is likely to be an attack upon Democrats who dare to oppose the currency bill. The suggestion that the secretary of state intends to assail in the columns of his organ any Democrat in congress who does not yield his views on the currency question is all the more remarkable since there are sixteen Democratic bankers serving in the senate and house. There is a distinct opinion among Democrats in Washington who have begun to feel the threat of Mr. Bryan's formidable political influence that it is a gross violation of the proprieties for the secretary of state to retain the active editorship of a publication that reports and discusses political and governmental affairs. It is pointed out that the secretary of state has access to the most intimate secrets of national administration and international diplomacy and that while he is in a position to know these things he has no right to be engaged in partisan political journalism. ADMITS KILLING HIS WIFE Woman Was to Have Testified In Suit Against Father-in-law With a gaping knife wound in her throat, Mrs. Anne Mattingly Owens, twenty-five years old, was found dead by the side of a lonely road near River Spring, about fourteen miles from Leonardtown, Md. Benson Owens, an oysterman, husband of the dead woman, surrendered himself to the county authorities and admitted that he had killed his wife in an altercation while the couple were on their way to River Spring, where Mrs. Owens was to tease against Frank Owens, her father-in-law, on a charge of assault and battery laid against him by Mrs. Owens. FOUR SISTERS DROWNED Three Lose Lives In Effort to Save Youngest One. Four girls, sisters, were drowned at Elkhart, Ind., when the three older girls sprang into the St. Joseph river in a vain attempt to save a younger sister. Grace Schwyn, seven years old, fell into the river while picking cherries from a limb which overhung the water. The other girls—Alice, sixteen; Clara, thirteen, and Ida, eleven—attempted to save her and themselves were drowned. The bodies were recovered. WOMEN CELEBRATE Illinois Suffragettes Parade on Day They Get Vote. The women of Illinois on Tuesday officially became voters. The law granting them the right went into of feel and the day was celebrated in Chicago by a big demonstration in which 20,000 women paraded. Several hundred automobiles were in line. An effort was made by the women of Illinois to have this day proclaimed an annual state holiday. The women want it known as "Women's Independence Day."

"And doe families--doe dyr quarre some more, or has all peace and bap- blessness?" "It's sad times over at the flats. Mr. Winsettman sad times, and there are hours at a time when my heart ache over the whiteness of human nature. The last time I talked with you each of the three women was trying to out do the other in style, but the barber's wife had carried off the palm. There was a week in which Mrs. O'Sullivan of the first door and the Countess DVite of the second were crushed to earth. Mrs. O'Sullivan was the first to rally. One morning she twisted up her hair in a knot, spanked three or four of the children and run the gout out of the house, and, going upstairs to the colored woman, she knocked on her door and said: "Lady Torrington, a lady is a lady knows another lady as a lady is a lady noon as she sets her eyes on her." "You bet yer, she do'r said Mrs. Torrington." A. Becherche Affeic. "Then I am a lady, you are a lady and the countess is a lady, and pibaut's the use of any hard feelings? I'm going to give a little rehearse affair this evening, and I've come up to extend a high power invitation." "What it a party?" asked the grover as he absently toyed with a string been. "Yes, of course. The word 'neither' shy' knocks you out, but as a janitor I make use of it a hundred times a day. It means the same as four X's on a can of sardines—something very exclusive, you know. The barber's with knew all about it, and she wasn't over a minute accepting the invitation she's got tired of quarreling and was ready to make up. Then Mrs. O'Sullivan extended the invitation to the countess. I stood by as she did it and I tell you, Mr. Wasserman, I made me proud of Paradise data. She knocked on the door, and as it opened she made a grand courtesy and said: "The Lady O'Sullivan's compliments to the Countess of Divito, and will the Countess of Divito concend to honor the Lady O'Sullivan; wid her royal pristine this evening at the hour of 87." The Party Comes Off. "The countess had probably expected to be hit with a washboard," continued the jailor, "and she was too surprised for the moment to speak. In when she got at it she responded in cording to court quettee. I knew Mrs. O'Sullivan had some little gain on hand, but just what it was couldn't figure out. However, when she asked what sort of referee bents went with a rehearse affair recommended bottled beer allied on oats and sardines and hidd my time to unravel the mystery." "And dot party copies off" queried the grower. "It does. Yes, at 8 o'clock last evening Lady Torrington and the Countess Ditto descended to the first floor and were received with all due honors by Lady O'Sullivan. You know what a prelude is, don't you?" "Yes. It has sometimes dot takes place afterwards." "You are wrong. Mr. Wasserman, it is something that takes place before anything else happens. In this case the prelude was a glass of beer all around and a song by Lady O'Sullivan, and then the honored guests were invited to sit down to a little game of poker. As soon as I heard of it the mystery was explained. Tim O'Sullivan had been coaching his wife at poker for a week." "By golly, and some gumbling goes out!" declaimed the grocer in considerable excitement. "Some gumbling goes on," sighed the janitor. "If the guests were surprised they didn't show it, and for half an hour all went well. Then Lady O'Sulivan gave threes." She Got Three Kings. "No; three kings. Yes, she gets three kings, but Lady Torrington gets a straight, you say." "Who chus a straight?" "Don't you know about poker, Mr Wasserman?" "Norfer. I shust keep a grocery and half all kinds of vegetables in season." "Well, a straight beats threes, but in this case the counten is a flush, and that beats a straight.

Are you able to overlook some things you were unable to overlook last year? To overlook the soaring glance, the harsh word, the solitary, unkind or malicious deed? Surely to overlook failure when you have done your best? Bravely to overlook unfortunate when it was unavoidable? Clearly to overlook dark days and darker frownns? Are you getting tall enough for this?—Arno R. Weh Economy Hints a penny saved is a penny earned Benjamin Franklin Short Cuts to Thrift One of the things that can be utilized by the thrifty housekeeper is the ever present, despised string which comes around bundles and packages. The the strings together, making fairly large knots and being careful not to trim off the ends—the more irregular the better. Then with a pair of coarse needles knit into bath mats. If you are fortunate in having a variety of colors, by judicious blending they can be made to look strikingly like some of the Turkish rugs, especially if you use the gift cord which comes around boxes of confectionery. They are not only serviceable, but have the added merit of washing forever. All of the colors are fast except pink. As most of the strings now in use in the shops are white the ends of the rugs can be made any desired color, either by dyeing or by mukking of balls of solid color, costing about 5 cents apiece. Another economy consists in saving all the odds and ends of soap excepting the courset kitchen kinds. When you have about a quart put on the stove to melt, adding a pint of warm water. As soon as these become thoroughly melted stir in a scent pint of oilmeal or ornate flakes—the kind used for porridge. Keep stirring until dissolved—only a few minutes if not—then add a tablespoonful of extract of almond. Turn into a pan to harden. When cool cut into cakes. This soap is not attractive in appearance, as it becomes rather dark, but it has a curative property and rapidly heals chapped hands, rendering them smooth and white. Glove fingers make splendid protection for the stems of flowers, especially if the flowers are fresh and worn plipped on a white dress. Save the fingers, insert the flower stems in them and pin to dress and no dampness or stain will infuse the most delicate dress. As every woman knows, the loss of stockings are being torn out continually to the detriment of her patience and pocketbook. But do not discard the stockings, no matter how badly torn. Lay two together, fold over and over, putting a layer of newspaper in one fold, saw the edges together and you have a mighty good holder. An excellent floor mop may be made from old stockings in this manner: Slash them in strips an inch wide, forming a fringe. Stitch several thicknesses of this to a strip of cloth three inches wide and ten inches long. Machine attaching is best. Saturate this with a good furniture polish and fasten in a mop stick. By using this daily upon hardwood floors they are kept free from dust and given a beautiful polish. --- HOW TO ANCHOR PORCH TABLE COVER8. Whoever may be blessed with an airy porch will be glad to know that she may keep the table covers in place by weighting them. Sew in each corner a piece of mutilin about an inch square, making it like a little pocket, open at one end. Slip into each pocket a metal weight about the size of a quarter, such as tallors use for weighting coats. Whip the cover needs washing it will be easy to remove the weights. The comfort of finding the covers on the tables and not on the porch floor will be the reward you will reap for the little trouble you have taken. --- How to Clean White Feathers. White feathers of any kind, especially white willow plumme, can be cleaned at home to look like new at a very small cost. Take one quart of gasoline and 2 cents worth of plaster of paris and mix together to the consistency of whipped cream. Dip the feathers in this mixture several times and squeeze and put them for a few minutes. Then hang up in the open air to dry thoroughly and until all the gasoline has evaporated. Remember never to use gasoline in a room with a light or fire. It is very explosive. How to Rest the Eyes To relieve the fatigue of the eyes after a long day spent out of door-bath, them with a warm solution of boric acid, soaking pads of absorbent wool in the lotion and laying them over the eyes for a few minutes, changing them two or three times. This rests and soothes them and restores their brightness. How to Mend Lace Curtains Take strips of old the right size or good parts of old curtains and dip them into hot starch.

Berthevan's Oddities Beethoven used the snuffers for a toothpick. It was one of his peculiarities that he never allowed his servant to enter his study. He insisted that this room should remain exactly as he left it, no matter how deeply the dust lay on the precious musical manuscript. He would looked in the glass when he took a break half the time he found to brush his hair. Every minute he carefully counted out several drops from the coffee canister. When moved for his breakfast. When he compiled he would pour cold water over his hands, and often people below him would complain of the water that threaded through his door.

FASHION HINT By JUDIC CHOLLET It has been well and truly said that the style of the sleeves frequently marks the date of a gown; consequently it is all important that the sleeves should be up to date. Here are three new ones that are good which can be utilized both for the new frock and for remaking the older one. The monsquetteal sleeve consists of one piece arranged over a plain foundation. The sleeve with the overlapped edges gives a very smart tailored effect and can be trimmed just as illustrated or in any way that may be liked. The plain sleeve is practical for many uses and can be cut to any desired length. For the medium size monsquetteal sleeves will require two yards of material twenty seven inches wide or one yard thirty six inches wide to cut with. PLAIN AND MOUSQUETAIRE SLEEVER, out plecing, but one yard twenty-seven inches wide will suffice if the under portions are slightly pleced. The plain sleeves will require one and a half yards of material twenty-seven inches wide. This May Manton pattern is cut in three sizes—small 34 or K, medium 36 or 40 and large 42 or 44 inches bust measure.

VESTED RIGHTS Have backward looking; and backward looking was ever stopped to consider what might happen to them here in the great state of New York if those who have not should take it into their heads to make common cause against those who have? They talk about vested rights and in their talk assume they have both an inherent and a constitutional right to pass their property down from generation, to generation until some rockless descendant shall have dissipated it. Suppose a governor and a general assembly in the state of New York should repeal the statute of decemts for real and personal property and the statute with reference to the making of wills on their death. How much vested interest would any relative have in the property which fall from their perverse hands at the hour of dissolution? The right to inherit and the right to devise are neither inherent nor constitutional; but, upon the contrary, they are simply privileges given by the state to its citizens. Vice President Thomas R. Marshall. REFORM OF COURTS. I have had the feeling that some day the Socialists might direct their attacks on the unequal and unjust administration of the law—the failure to administer the criminal law with certainty by which criminals so often escape punishment for crimes for which they deserve imprisonment. The existing conditions in this regard are a disgrace to the civilization of this country and should be remedied. There are none better equipped to accomplish these reforms than the members of the bar. The courtroom is not the place to gamble with the law. We must keep law and justice together in order to justify law.—William H. Taft. THE WANDERER. THE WANDERER. Love comes back to his vacant dwelling— The old, old love that we knew of yore! We see him stand by the open door. With his great eyes and his bosom swelling. He makes an though in our arms repelling He fain would lie as he lay before. Love comes back to his vacant dwelling— The old, old love which we knew of yore. Ah, who shall help us from over-spelling That sweet forgotten, forbidden love? Even as we doubt, in our hearts once move. With a rush of tears to our eyelids swelling. Love comes back to his vacant dwelling! -Austin Dobson. RULE8 OF LIFE My method is the fastest oldest, simplest and usefulest. Forget the past, forget the future. Life is a habit as hard or as easy to acquire as any other in life. I'm no genius. My friends have found that out But take no thought for the future nor the past. When the load of tomorrow is added to the load of yesterday many men falter on the way. The first two hours of a day determine that day. Quit tobacco and liquor Bright eyes are the thing. The control of the mind as a working machine is the end of all education. This can be accomplished with deliberation. The most striking thing about America is its hurry. Europeans accomplish just as much without that overlasting rush.-Dr. William Oaler LANGUAGE. If you look upon the language spoken in the Saxon time and the language spoken now you will find the difference to be just as if a man had a clock he wore plain in Queen Elizabeth's days and, since, here he has put in a piece of red and there a piece of green and there a piece of orange. We borrow words from the French, Italian and Latin as every pedantic man please. We have more words than nations—half a dozen words for the same thing. Sometimes we put a new signification to an old word, as when we call a piece a gun. The word gun was in use in England for an engine to cast a thing from a man long before there was any gunpowder found out. Words must be fitted to a man's mouth.

Are we not, then, called upon by the highest duties to our country, to its free institutions, to posterity and to the world to rise above all local prejudices and personal partialities, to discard all colligative questions, to disregard every subordinate point, and, in a genuine spirit of compromise and concession, to unite heart and hand to preserve for ourselves the blessings of free government, wisely, honestly, and faithfully administered, and, as we received them from our fathers, to transmit them to our children? Should we not subject ourselves to eternal reproach if we permitit our differences about more men to bring defeat and disaster upon our cause? Our principles are imperishable, but men have but a fleeting existence and are themselves liable to change and corruption during its brief continuance—Henry Clay. ALONG THE ROAD. I walked a mile with Pleasure. She chattered all the way. But left me none the whier For all she had to say. I walked a mile with Sorrow. And never a word said she; But, oh, the things I learned from her When Sorrow walked with me! —R. B. Hamilton in Century. SATIRICAL In Queen Anne's reign there lived a very sage and able critic named Dennis, who in his old age was the pray of a strange fancy that he had himself written all the good, things in all the good plays that were noted. Every good passage he met with in any author he insisted was his own. "It is none of his," Dennis would always say. "No; It's mine!" He went one day to see a new tragedy. Nothing particularly good to his taste ocurred till a scene in which a great storm was represented. As soon as he heard the thunder rolling over his head he exclaimed, "That's my thunder!" So it is with the honorable and learned gentleman. It's all his thunder. It will henceforth be impossible to confer any boon or make any innovation but he will claim it as his thunder. George Canning on Brougham. DO SMALL THINGS You are waiting to do some great thing. You are all waiting to pull down some great evil.

Where weary men might turn. He wailed it in and hung with care. A table at the brink. He thought not of the dead he did. But judged that all might drink. He passed again, and, to the well, By summer never dried. Had cried ten thousand parching tongues. And saved a life beside. A nameless man amid a crowd. That thonged the daily mart Let fall a word of hope and love. Unstudied, from the heart. A whisper on the tumult thrown. A transitory breath— It rushed a brother from the dust. It saved a soul from death. O germ, O found, O word of love, O thought at random cast. Ye were but little at the first. But mighty at the last. --Charles Mackay. CEREMONY. Ceremony keeps up all things. "Tis like a pottery glass to a rich spirit, or some excellent water—without it the water were split, the spirit lost. Of all people ladies have no reason to cry down ceremonies, for they take them solves alighted without it. And were they not used with ceremony—with compliments and ad dresses, with legs and kissing of hands—they were the pitiful creatures in the world. But yet methuks to kiss their hands after their lips, as some do, is like little boys that after they eat the apple fall to the paring, out of a love they have to the apple.—John Seldon. --- Many women may desire to reproduce an article in plaster. This is not a difficult matter if these directions are followed: The materials required are: Plaster of parts, clay, water, a mixing spoon and a bread board two feet square. When you first attempt it try something simple—half of an apple, for instance. An extra precaution would be to mix a little bluing with the plaster, to distinguish it from the model. Soap the half apple well on the outside. Place it flat side down upon the modeling board and build a mound of softened clay around it. When this has hardened mix the powdered plaster with water until it is the consistency of pancake batter. Pour this into the mold of clay. When it has hardened separate the mold from the cast. To cast the whole of an object mold one half at a time, and soap both sides of the inside of the mold thoroughly. Make a hole in the top of the mold, which is formed by the union of the two halves. Through this opening pour the liquid plaster. When the cast has hardened it may be shellacked or ivorised. This is extremely interesting. Try it some time and see.

Long Drawn Out Revenge. A Puritan preacher named Boyd was in the habit of hotly inveighing against Oliver Cromwell. Secretary Thurlow finally informed Cromwell of the abuse and advised him to have Boyd shot. © BONN "He's a fool and you're another," said the protector tartly. "I'll pay him out in his own coin." Shortly afterward Cromwell sent Boyd a pressing invitation to dinner which the preacher unusual. THE PROTECTOR STARTED A PRAYEDPECTINGLY ACCEPTED. Cromwell greeted him pleasantly and scaled him oppositely himself at the table. Then fixing his keen eyes on the abusive preacher the protector started a prayer which lasted three straight hours. What he left unsaid in that prayer wasn't worth saying, and poor Bord was too limp to allow a mouthful after the oration had ended. But it cured his mania for abusing Cromwell. Only a day at a time. There may never be a tomorrow. Only a day at a time and that we can live. We know. The trouble we cannot bear is only the trouble we borrow.

Daniel Webster, Tazewell and General Jackson's secretary of the navy were once walking together on the north bank of the Potomac, and while Webster lingered a little in the rear Tazewell offered to bet Branch a ten dollar hat he could prove him, to be on the other side of the river. "Done," said Branch. "Well," said Tazewell, pointing to the opposite shore, "I can't that one side of the river?" "Yes." "Well, isn't this the other side?" "Yes." "Then, as you are here, are you not on the other side?" "Why, I declare," said the victim, "so I am! But here comes Webster. I'll win back my bet from him." As Daniel came up Branch saluted him with, "Webster. I'll bet you a ten dollar hat, I can prove you are on the other side of the river." "Done." "Well, isn't this one side?" "Yes." "Well, isn't that the other side?" "Yes, but I am not on that side." Branch had to pay for two hats and learned that it is possible to bet both ways and win upon neither. Why He Didn't Hustle J. M. Wakeman of the Society For Electrical Development was riding through the south not long ago. His seat mate was a well fed, well dressed, unhappy person. Every now and then the seat mate heaved a sigh. Mr. Wakeman sympathized. He thought he'd start a cheery conversation. "How's business through the south?" he asked. "Mistah," said the sad man passionately, "it's rotten. Honest, I don't know what to do. This last yeah was the vey worst of my ent'l business career." Mr. Wakeman became optimistic. He told of friends whose business had slumped, but recovered. "Have you tried advertising?" he asked. "Onah people are very conservative," said the sad man. "They rather present vigorous advertising. Yes, seh." "Well," said Wakeman "why don't you get a corps of lively, hustling solicitors? Let 'em go to it. Shake up the dead loons." "The sad man said that didn't appeal to him, either.

HE WAS IN THE GAME. To Prove It He Showed Where the Other Bide Made a Hit. Frank I. Cobb, chief editorial writer of the New York World, was a great baseball player while he was at college in Michigan. During vacations he accumulated strength and a little extra money by "working" in a lumber camp and playing catcher on the camp team. (The word "working" is put in quotation marks adversely.) Young Cobb and his pitcher, Flannagan, formed a splendid battery, and all the players and their camp mates won their bets in games against rival camps with great regularity. The battery worked so well that on a certain dull Saturday they were hired at $10 each and expenses to play on the team of Svenson & Stefansson, a score of miles away. They had to pretend to be Swedes, of course, and they were down on the score card as Larsen, pitcher, and Olsen, catcher. At a diner in Washington not long ago Mr. Cobb had the pleasure of meeting Senator Jolius C. Burrows of Michigan and found him a delightful companion. Mr. Burrows seemed to find the dignified young editor very entertaining, too, especially when the talk turned to baseball, for Mr. Burrows was a "fan" in the superlative degree "The boys in my lumber camp have a team," he declared, "that he never been beaten." "Didn't the team from Svenson & Stefansson's camp beat them some years ago, senator?" naked Mr. Cobb innocently. "No, sir!" cried Mr. Burrow, turning hot as if the battle were again going on before him. "No, sir! They didn't beat us. Confound 'em, they put in two ringers as a battery and were leading our boys by 7 to 4 in the eighth when we found out about it and ran 'em off the field and most of the way home. "The score was 7 to 3, wasn't it, Senator?" asked Cobb politely. "No-o-o-yee, I believe it was," Mr. Burrows admitted. "That's so; the umbrella didn't allow our fourth tally because the runner didn't touch second. But how did you know the score?" "I was there," said Mr. Cobb, turning the left side of his head toward Mr. Burrows. "See that scar? That's where they caught me with half a brick as I was going over the fence. I was Olsen."—Harper's Weekly. The Best Light. Treat a man with as much deference as you would a picture—look at him in the best light—Emerson. Poetry With a Sting In It. Poetry With a Sting in It.

Negro Ministers Unite in Prayer and Urgue Their Congregations On to the Rescue of the People's Bank and Trust Co. (Dalke, Tex., Western Star) A Texas Negro citizen, after visiti- ing Muskogee last year, returned to his home and said, "Muskogee Negro- s are true in backing up ma- teries than Negroes are are- where." This truth has been place- beyond all future dispute by the happy ending of the financial hurry of last Saturday, June 14th, which tem- porarily, and in the minds of Negroes, of little faith in themselves and others, seemed destined to wreck the People's Bank and Trust Company, the widely known Negro lending institution of Muskogee. THEY SURE HAD A BIG RUN. The Purry was a companion by all the incidents which usually involved with failures of financial institutions, except two one, the bank did no close for good, the other, there were no losses on the part of the depositors. There was, however, a run of the bank, and then, also, there was a closing down for a day but this was in pursuance of the orders of the State Bank Examiner, whose duty it is in such cases to take charge and see that the interests of the depositors are safeguarded. After a rest of one day, the bank reopened, and let it be known far and wide the reopening is not due to financial aid given by white banks, as was the extensively advertised case of the John Mitchell Bank at Richmond, Virginia several years ago. The people's Bank and Trust Company was saved by Negro prayers and Negro money. The large sum $26,000 was brought in and deposited by Negro capitalists, merchants and professional men and the confidence of the Negro and the white public was fully restored. WHITE PAPER STARTS TROUBLE The trouble came about from, it may be said, entirely untoward, and unexpected cause. One of the moms of the corporation, a former vice president of the institution believing he had a grievance, entered suit against several of the stockholders. The suit was filed after the usual banking hours on Friday and the first intimation had of it by the officers was the newspaper containing report of it on Saturday morning. In he Saturday morning Dally Muskogee Phoenix there appeared the statement that Mr. P. A. Lewis had entered suit to recover $2,000. which, the paper said, he had been per audited to invest by certain bank officials in "bogus and worthless" certificates of stock. Many Negro depositors reading this concluded that it was time for them to get busy and chase them,selves down to the bank and draw out their money. The thought was acted upon at once, and many got there much quicker than if they had been sent for. As they hurried along, a word and hist was dropped here and there, with the result the bank was soon besieged by an army of "Christian" but exceedingly frightened, soldiers, the song of whom was not "Give me Jesus," but "Ob me --- Johnson declares that he is perfectly fit that in fact he never felt better in his life. He desires to emphasize the fact that he will surely be back in New York early in November. He is staying privately in a house in Craig street. Ottawa, Canada, June 27.—The Canadian government today issued an order for the immediate deportation of Jack Johnson, the champion pugilist, who left Chicago yesterday while under sentence on a white slave charge, and is now in Montreal, unless he has a through ticket for a European steamer. The order provides that Johnson immediately take passage on the boat or he will be sent back to Chicago. Martinsburg, W. Va. Pioneer Press. As our wife friend, John Mitchell Jr., has oft times truly said, the poor Negro has want chances when he is the issue before the United States Supreme Court. The proof of our conclusion is found in a decision rendered by that august tribunal in the case of Mrs. Mary F. Butts, a Boston colored woman who end the Merchants and Miners Transportation Company. Palmer's Charge Stirs Probes. Siphanas will be issued by the senate lobby investigating committee for Lewis Cass Ledyard and Paul D. Crayath, New York attorneys, and for David Lamar, a Wall street man, to appear next week in connection with its investigation of the charge that the names of congressmen are being used to secure influence with financial men. Ledyard and Crayath are understood to have additional information that they are willing to give the committee. Both were referred to by Robert L. Layett, chairman of the board of the Union Pacific, as having been recipients of mysterious telephone calls that purported to come from congressmen. The story told the lobby committee by Representative A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania, has astonished congressional circles, and resulted in a demand from many quarters that the senate committee use every effort to find the men responsible. Palmer testified that Lewis Cass Ledyard had been called repeatedly by a man who represented himself as Palmer. The attorney took the precaution to learn that Palmer was not in New York, however, and kept the congressman informed of developments until evidence had been secured strongly indicating whom the calls came from. Speaker Clark, Representative Underwood, of Alabama, Representative Henry, of Texas, and others, whose names were used by the persons in conversation with financial men, are urging the committee to push Hensquail. Representatives Palmer and Riordan are the only congressman whose names have thus far been given as having been imperfonated over the telephone. the bank, and the bank wore not dismayed and set to work at once to face the difficulties that confronted them, like men, and to preserve the bank's unsullied name. President Bill drew on his personal and private resources mild his example was followed by A. W. Marshall, J. M. Love, Robert Love and other officials. This the depositors, as fast as they came, were paid dollar for dollar of the amounts due them. The run continued until 1 o'clock, the usual Saturday closing hour. THE SOLE SUNDAY TOWN TALK. Sunday was the 15th. The one proceeding, Muskogee was jammed with Baptists, and the only talk was the Baptist Congress parade. But this Sunday, every Negro man and woman in Muskogee talked in whispers and in sorrow about the troubles of the institution in which they all had pride. The preachers of all the various denominations made the bank's distress topic for their sermons and prayers, enforcing their members to go to the bank and deposit to the utmost of their ability. Never before was the Negro race pride raised to such high a pitch, and it was well for the bank. On Monday morning a long line of Muskogee's leading citizens and business men were at the doors of the bank, and this time not to draw out money but to deposit money. MONEY IN ACKS AND POCKETS Those men came with the determination of relieving the bank of its dizziness. They had the stuff with them to do it. One had a big bibing glove, many big bibs full of bills, and others had bulking pockets, a sight of which would have made a pickpocket's eyes get glassy. Mr T. J. Elliott, president of the Oklahoma Business League, and a prominent cloakier, was on hand with $5,000. Others with suits ranging from hundreds to several thousands were in line eager to aid and show their confidence in the bank. As the Bank Examiner was on chalk on Monday, the bank also closed. It was impossible for depositors to be reached, S., they left to return Tuesday. After a thorough examination by Deputy Examiner Samuels, which showed the depositors were simply protected by gifted securities, the bank required Tuesday morning, and it was not very long, before the receiving officer had taken in over $26,000 in deposits. It is conceded, by those who know that the wide faith and confidence in financial circles enjoyed by President L. A. Bell contributed very materially toward lifting the bank over its financial troubles, thus restoring its public usefulness. The suit of Mr. Lewis will be arranged out of court, and the officers are now working in harmony, and determined that the bank shall go on to greater fame and success in the financial world. --- BACK JOHNSON GONE; OFFICIAL IN SUT. Pugilist in Montreal says He Is Going to Russia for a Fight. Chicago, June 26. Jack Johnson, the purist is believed to be in right to France via Canada to escape imprisonment in the Federal penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., for one year and a day and a time of $1,000 to which he was sentenced for violating the white laws. The partner from Toronto announce that the pupil and his white wife who was Little Cameron of Minneapolis passed last night in that city and that they started in a motel car today for Montreal with the intention of selling for England. Departately on record of the information United States District Attorney Wilberton and Charles F. Deweyy, special agent of the Department of Justice, began an investigation but all efforts of the Government officials to find any trace of the coloured purifier in this vicinity up to midnight were futile. Johnson has disappeared from all of his haunts in Chicago and the surrounding country. The only hope the Federal authorities have that Johnson will be returned to Chicago to serve his sentence in the event that his appeal to the U. S. Court of Appeals falls in the Canadian law under which the authorities of the Dominion send back undesirable persons who cross the border. The crime of which Johnson was convicted is not extraditable. DENY KNOWLEDGE OF FLIGHT Johnson's sister and mother in Chicago denied to night to the Federal authorities that they knew any thing of the pugilist's reported flight. He left Chicago Tuesday, they say, in his machine for Cedar Lake, Ind. a few miles across the Illinois State line on a week's fishing trip. Johnson has occupied a cottage at Cedar Lake for several years. He has used it for preliminary training quarters in several of his fights. According to the relatives Johnson's wife went to Cedar Lake with the fighter. Chief Dewoody immediately sent men to Cedar Lake, but they reported over the telephone that the pugilist had not been there for more than three weeks. The chief then got into communication with the authorities at Montreal. Johnson was last seen in Chicago Monday afternoon when he talked to his attorney, Benjamin Bachrach, relative to the appeal of his case. In the morning he appeared in Federal Judge Carpenter's court with his attorney and got leave to appeal. Judge Carpenter set the bonds at $15,000, which were immediately furnished. Matthew S. Baldwin, a wealthy real estate dealer of Evanston, Johnson and his mother becoming sureties. Johnson also sought to have the sentence to Jollet changed to the Government prison at Fort Leaven- worth. This was granted Tuesday by Judge Carpenter. The fighter did not appear in court Tuesday and his attorney made repeated attempts to communicate with the pugilist home during the day, but failed. Members of the family said the pugilist was out driving. WELLER'S HUMAN H 720 7th St. W Established 1856. Oldest Hast Store in WHAT AUTHORITIES BELIEVE. The Federal authorities now believe that Johnson and his wife left Chicago Monday night or early Tuesday morning and drove east in his machine into Indiana, left the machine and then took a train for either Detroit or Buffalo thence going to Toronto. The automobile which Johnson is supposed to be using in going from Toronto to Montreal is believed to be the one he isn't aboard of him at the time he made his first attempt to escape to Montreal soon after his indictment. On that occasion he was taken from the train to Battle Creek, Mich., and returned to Chicago. Johnson has been only under nominal surveillance since his conviction the ball being considered sufficient to hold him. The officials are at a loss to understand, however, how he crossed the border. The Dominion immigration officials were requested when Johnson first attempted to escape not to permit him to enter Canada at any time. --- JOHNSON IN MONTREAL. Pugilist is Going to Russia, but Says He'll Return in November. Montreal, June 25. Jack Johnson arrived here this morning from Toronto by the Grand Trunk Railway. He says his reason in going to Toronto to was to collect more than $22,000 due to him in that city, which he did. He announces that he is going to Russia and has chosen the Canadian route, as he considers it the best. Johnson means to fight Smith and Langford in St. Petersburg and says that the stake for the former fight is $30,000 and for the latter $35,000. He is also to have half the picture rights. Johnson wishes it to be known that he will be back in the United States by November in time to surrender to his hand, adding that he has no intention of giving that $15,000 away by forfeiting it. He declares that he can prove his innocence of the charge. He further says that she lawsuit has already cost him more than $100,000. His wife is with him and will accompany him to St. Petersburg. Johnson has not yet booked a passage, but says he will sail from Montreal or Quebec next week; perhaps by the Teutonie, due to sail from Montreal via Quebec on Tuesday or also by the Victorian, which salts on Thursday.
