PIANOSE Knights of Pythias. ECHOES FROM NEWPORT NEWS-THE CLOSING SCENES OF A GREAT MEETING. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS, at Newport News, Va., Wednesday, June 18, '13 Crowd waiting for procession to start. VOLUME XXX, NO. 33 Knights of ECHOES FROM NEWPO SCENES OF A The recent session of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A., A. and A. is still the subject of favorable comment. The spectacular drilling at the Skating Rink will long be remembered. The Pythian Cadets, Companies A and B were easily the favorites. They gave an exhibition battalion drill and then the companies drilled against each other. WON THE PRIZES. Company B was awarded the First Prize and Company A the Second Prize. For Carnahan's display drill, Maceo Guards Co., No. 1, Capt. John Stewart, commanding, Newport News, won the first prize; Planet Co., No. S. Lleut, James H. Ammons, commanding, Richmond, won the second prize; and Eureka Co., No. I, Capt. Edmund Smith, commanding, Richmond, won the third prize. The snapshot pictures shown in this issue will give an idea of the display at Newport News. The en-campment was in close proximity to the city. STREETS WELL LIGHTED Electrii Lights had been installed by the electric light company, and a fringe of them lined the company streets. A space had been cleaned by the boys, and it was not long before two teams were in action endeavoring to score for the encampment championship. The trip to Bay More Thursday was heartily enjoyed. Friday morning, the last day of the sermon showed no diminition the ranks of the Grand Representatives. The Grand Chancellor announced KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS, at Newport Crowd waiting for pr that he would leave Newport News that afternoon at 5 o'clock for Rich- mond. A few doubted his ability to do this, but when it was 11 o'clock there was no longer doubt as to the outcome. The election of officers was spiritited. CHIEF INTEREST. The chief interest centered in the election of Grand Master of Exchequer and Supreme Representatives. The next place of meetinf was also the cause for spirited argument. Rev. R. G. Adams of Farmville made a gallant fight and but for the size of his home town would undoubtedly have won. THE ONLY HANDICAP It could not handle the Uniform Rank. This was conceded. Staunton was then in the lead and but for the majority vote would have won. Many Richmond delegates wanted to oo away from home, but when the issue came squarely between Staunton and Richmond those who had scattered their votes rallied to the capital city when Sir Phil Brown sententiously said "Come, let us all go to Richmond." He moved in the direction of that delegation and the end came. Richmond was chosen. The Grand Chancellor was unanimously elected the first day under a suspension of rules. The officers elected are as follows: OFFICERS ELECTED. Grand Chancellor. John Mitchell, J.K. Richmond; Grand Vice-Chancellor, H. L. Jackson. Blackstone; Grand Master, of Buchequer, B. H. Peyton, Richmond; Grand Keeper of Records and Seal, Thomas M. Crump, Richmond; Grand Prelate, Rev. T. H. Hulme, D. D. Clifton Forge; Grand Master of Arms, W. H. Wilts, Richmond; Grand Inner Guard, J. M. Du ford, Pulaski; Grand Outer Guard, W. T. Stokes, Petersburg; Grand Medical Register, I. D. Burrell, M. D., Ronnoke; Grand Lecturer, T. J. Pree, Newport News; Grand Master of Work, William M. Reid, Portsmouth; Supreme representatives, John Mitchell, Jr., Thomas M. Crump, Thomas H. Wyatt was designated to fill the vacancy caused by the death of H. F. Jonatman, and E. R. Jefferson was the hold-over. Wm. M. Reid was the "hold-over" alternate and R. C. Mitchell, D. C. Johnson and U. S. G. Patterson were named as alternates. THE OUTER BODY. The concluding session of the Grand Court was peaceful and the election of officers passed without even keen rivalry. The Grand Representatives, expressed themselves as being delighted and by 2 P. M. the last word had been said. The Grand Representatives in both branches of the Order had ample time to prepare for the train. The camp had been dismantled. The cadets did not desire to leave the city, and it was necessary for them to march at double quick time in order to get the train, where three coaches were awaiting the party. ARRIVES ON TIME. The Richmond delegation reached home at 6:30 P.M. The Uniform Rank attracted much attention as it came up from the station in heavy marching order. Subscribe to The PLANET.

The funeral of Lawyer William Blackwell took place from the First Baptist Church, South Richmond on Thursday afternoon, July 3d, and was attended by many friends and acquaintances of the deceased.

He was a graduate of the Manchester High School, Virginia Union University and of the Law Department of Howard University. He was employed in the Bureau of Engraving up to a short time before his death. Mr. John M. Ross sang, "Some Day We'll Understand," and Dr. Q. W. Moon rendered, "It is Well With My Soul." Mr. Blackwell leaves a wife and three children, mother, brother, sister and a large number of friends. He was the brother of Prof. J. H. Blackwell, principal of colored schools, and the entire family has the sympathy of many friends. In Memoriam. STEWARD.—In memory of my beloved daughter, Helen Steward, who died one year ago, July 10, 1912: In the graveyard softly sleeping. Where, the flowers gently wave. Lies the one we love so gently. In her cold and silent grave. Though thy darling form lies sleeping In the cold and silent tomb. Thou shall have a glorious awakening When the blessed Lord doth come. Her mother, LOUISA STEWARD. Gone Before. The funeral of Miss A. W. Black took place last Tuesday, 4 P. M. at the Fifth St. Baptist Church. Rev. S. C. Manuel, D. D. officiated. The funeral designs were numerous and costly. Funeral Director Price officiated. Painfully Burned. Little Miss Autollette, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Dawson, of 205 E. Clay St. was painfully burned by escaping gas from the gas-range last Thursday. Her injuries are not serious Junius Kelly, colored, received an ugly gash in his right arm last night at Gilliam and Leigh Streets, as a result of a quarrel with a negro said to be Sam Coker, following an argument over a debt. Coker escaped after the cutting. It was necessary for Dr. M. F. Torragrussa City Hospital ambulance surgeon, to take seven stitches in Kelley's wound. The Ambassador at the Broad Street Theatre (By Edwin H. Hackley, husband of Madame E. A. Hackley, the Noted Soprano.) The presentation of "The Ambassador" by G. Grant Williams, a man of mance and political travesty in theatre, books, lyrics and music by Edwin H. Hackley, on Thursday evening, June 12th, was one of the most successful and most satisfying presentations that has been given in this city this season to a large and fashionable audience. The work of thinking part throughout was consistently excellent. It is a matter for felicitation that a company of unprofessionals has the extraordinary talent to produce so convincingly such a difficult play. It is not well presented it would lack spirit and point; but it may be said in all justice that at no point was the performance vulnerable to adverse criticism. The fun was all brilliantly brought out, and the characters were clearly drawn. There was no largish in the cast. The romance moved along with admirable colority, keeping the audience always interested, and much of the time in laughter. It is a mine of good work, clean and wholesome. As General Bud. Special U. S. Ambassador William H. Morris was calm, well polished and alert for every opportunity the lines gave him. He has tact and dramatic ability, which make him just the man for the port, and he won the audience on his first appearance, sharing honors with Morris was William H. Bennett as Colonel Toolf. U. S. Consult at Foz, Morocco, who gave the character a remarkable and artistic interpretation. It was a splendid piece of work from start to finish. Assisting these principals were Estlela Paulson Jones, as Rosie, housekeeper at the Consulate; so thoroughly enjoyable was her work that each subsequent entrance induced applause; Josephine Ethel Lee in the role of Marjorie the Consult's niece, who inspires a love in Captain Raymond Bascom, which part is taken by Charles A. Marshall, that aroused him to the best of his possibilities, was charming: George Newlin made the best of his part as Professor Ketchum, an American naturalist. Then, worthy of commendation were: Irving Newlin, Earl Huff, Charles Ryder, and Justus Rodgers a Briganda; Clarence Morris, Charles Newlin, Martha Davis, Julius Young, Edmond Scott, Marguerite Harris as the native dancing girl displayed artistic ability, and was especially good in her dancing. The chorus was exceptionally trained, and there was a fine volume of grateful sound in the ensemble at the end of the acts. The costuming was fine and the production was carefully made. Mr. Ed. Hackley was called before the curtain between acts, and presented with a beautiful bouquet of American Beauties. This another conquest that has been captured by the man who presents.

FAITH AND ORDER OF CHRISTIAN CHURCH. Episcopallana Lead the Movement. The Protestant Episcopal Church in October, 1910, appointed a Commission to bring about a Conference for the consideration of questions as to the faith and order of the Christian Church, in the hope that such a Conference will promote the cause of Christian Unity. That Commission is inviting all Christian Communities throughout the world which confess our Lord Jesus Christ as God, and Saviour, to unite with the Episcopal Church in arranging for and conducting such a Conference. More than twenty such cooperating commissions have been appointed, including all the leading Communions in the United States and the Church of England in England and Canada. Invitations are now being sent to the other leading Communions outside the United States as fast as the names and addresses of their officers can be obtained. The Episcopal Commission is publishing leaflets, explaining the scope and methods of the Conference, and giving a list of books on Christian Unity, and those leaflets have been circulated all over the world. The Commission is glad to send them free to any one who will apply for them to the Secretary, Robert H. Gardiner, Gardiner, Matne. He has received probably ten thousand, or more, letters, on the subject, coming from every part of the world and from members of every Communion. Protestant and Catholic. Persons applying are entered on a permanent mailing list, so that they will receive all future publications. The Episcopal Commission is trying to carry on the undertaking in the spirit of Bishop Brent, who urged, at the meeting when the Commission was organized, that the side of organization shall not be made too prominent, but that we shall seek spiritual power. The first step shall be in a new and full and deep way, to rebelieve ourselves to God, free from past prejudices, in order that, so losing ourselves, we may have a spiritual power simply compelling. Ministers and laymen and women in Virginia to the number of 164 have already been brought together at least to the extent of enrollment. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS, at Newport N. Pythian Cadet Battalion, marched Commandant William Jerome Davis, J on the list, which is arranged geographically so that those who are interested enough in Christian Unity to apply to be placed on the list may obtain the names of others in their neighborhood also interested, with whom they can meet for united prayer for the reunion of Christians and for conference as to how it can be brought about. The list includes Disciples of Christ, Baptists, Episcopalians Presbyterians, Lutherans and Roman Catholics. The Executive Committee of the Commission of the Episcopal Church, of which the Rev. W. T. Manning, D. D. Rector of Trinity Church, New York, is Chairman, has recently issued a circular letter urging such local conferences. The World Conference may not be held for a number of years, for it will be a long undertaking to get the approval of all the leading Communions all over the world, though the project is being received with great cordiality.

The Scrap Book Asking Too Much. Assistant District Attorney Clark was conducting a case in the criminal court. A large, rough shouldered negro was in the witness chair. "An then," said the witness, "we all went down in the alley an shot a few crap." "Ah," said Mr. Clark, swinging his eyeglass impressively. "Now, sir, I want you to address the jury and tell them just how you deal crap." "Wass that?" asked the witness, rolling his eyes. "Address the jury, sir," thundered Mr. Clark, "and tell them just how you deal crap." "Lemme outen heah," said the witness, uneasily. "First tipling I know this gemmum kwine ask me how to drink a sandwich."—Argonaut. As You Go Through Life: Don't look for the flaws as you go through life: And even when you run them It is in the light that blind And look for the virtue behind them For the cloudiest night has a tint of light Somewhere in its shadows hiding; It is better by far to hunt for a star Than the spots on the sun abiding. The current of life runs ever away To the bosom of God's great ocean. Don't set your force 'gainst the river's course. But bend and let it go o'er you. And the sooner you know it the better. It is folly to fight with the Infinite and go under at last in the wrestle; plan to do so is better. As water shapes into a vessel. No Laughing Matter. An American visiting in England encountered one afternoon in the hotel in London where he was stopping a Scotish kinsman. The Scot agreed to dine with the American, the cousins repaird to the grill, and after suitable pre-Himparies a steak was set before them. It was tough. The waiter, was summoned. He was all apologies. Another steak would be forthcoming, or chop if the gentlemen preferred. "Hold on," said the Scot as his eye fell upon a dish of asparagus which supported the steak on one side. He carefully consulted the bill of fare. Asparagus was expensive just then. "I'll tell what we will do, my man," he went on. "If you'll no charge us for the asparagus we'll keep the steak." The waiter seemed a bit startled, but accepted the compromise, and the American, who was paying the bill concealed his amusement and allowed his guest's arrangement to stand. He even ate spatially of the steak. A few days later he related the incident to another kinsman, also a Scot. "It is what I should have done, my self," said the other kinsman so earnly. — New York Post. Keeping It Quiet. Shortly after his election as president of the Royal academy Edward Poynter said: "My election as president of the Royal academy came more or less as a surprise. The first intimation I had of it was from old Sidney Cooper, who was always very friendly to me. He was deaf as a post and all ways talked, as some deaf people do at the top of his voice. During the time when it was evident, from poor Milhals' terrible state, that there must soon be another election to the presidency the venerating days came around, when members are present in full force, and Cooper came up to me and said in a voice which could be heard by every one in the room. This is quite between ourselves, you know, but you are going to be the new president." Comforting News. A minister who preached for many years in a suburb of Cincinnati retired and went to Florida to live. After a year or so there he paid his first visit to New York in twenty years. He wandered about for two days and then went to see an old Cincinnati friend. "I have been watching the people in this city," said the dominate, to his friend, "and I wonder and grieve at the money madness I see everywhere. This rush and hurry and eagerness for money abates me. It is astonishing. Why, down in Florida one can live in comfort for $2,000 a year, but here they think and talk and act in terms of millions! "It is all so vast and so complex!" he sighed. "Why, this afternoon I walked down by your tallest building of stood on the curb and looked up and up and up, and tried to comprehend the immensity of that structure. My mind reeled. I felt faint and dizzy. I leaned against the building for support, and a passing newsboy chirped: "Cheer up, old sport! It ain't again to fall on you!" — Saturday Evening, Post. One of the wittiest men of a pas- generation of Englishmen was Hibson Samuel Wilberforce. Toward the end of a meeting at, which he spoke, say Walter Jerrold in his "Book of Fam- oons Wits," the audience began to dis- perse. A gentleman whose name was on the program of speakers said to the bishop, "I need not speak; I hardly think they expect me." "To be sure they do," said Wilber force. "Don't you see they are all going!" TRIED TO DO TOO MUCH. Ye Perilous Feet of Laughing and Gearing at the Ship Time. Gaping at Ye Same Time. There was a church celebration of a rather exciting nature many years ago in Lyun, Mass. The occurrences marking the dedication of the Old Tunnel Meeting House in 1882 are recorded by an eyewitness and quoted in Obadiah Oldpath's "Ian." After the formal ceremony of dedication it feast was held. Ye dinner was in ye greater barne of Mr. Hood. While we were at table a rooster flow to ye beam over our heads. Mr. Richardson, ye Newbury minister, in a very loud voice and stately mien proclaimed that the ye house was a noble temple it yet was but fit ket for ye godly jewel of Lin, where upon a most lusty crow was set up by ye old cock on ye beam, and he hipped his wings, sending ye dust down on to ye table. Ye company hurtled upges at ye mills behaving fowle, bit, not being of good aim, did not hit, and with a whirring noise it flew to ye ground as if in disgust. Mr. Gerrish was in a merrie mood. Not having his thots about him, he deceived ye dangerous performance of gaping and laughing at ye same time. In doing so he set his jaws open in such a wise that it was beyond his power to bring them back again. His agonio was very great, and his joyful laugh was soon turned to grievous groaning. We did our utmost to stay the anguish of Mr. Gerrish, but could make out but little till Mr. Rogers, who knoweth something of anatole, did bid ye sufferer to sit down on ye floor and, taking his head between his legs, turning ye face upward as much as possible, gave a powerful blow and sudden press, which brought ye jaws again into working order. But Mr. Gerrish did not gape nor laugh much more, neither did he talk much for that matter. Both Bad. He that slanders me paints me blacker than I am, and he that flatters, whiter. They both daub me, and when I look into the glass of conscience I see myself disguised by both. Cowper. Gallant Volunteer Flower. A gentleman who had all the curmarks of a foreign nobleman about him, including the whiskers and the handkerchief up the sleeve, sat in a Broadway restaurant eating one dish after another until his range of appetite and his marvelous capacity won c.1895 "TO THE PUMPS, MEN!" him the attention of a group of men headed by Mason Peters who were at the next table drinking solitzer. One order after another—soup, fish, roast, entree, salad, side dishes—disappeared down the strange gentleman's throat. He had eaten enough for three and still was not satisfied. He whispered to the waiter. The waiter went away; the foreigner waited; the group at the next table waited. Presently the waiter reappeared bearing upon a platter an enormous rum omelet, surrounded by a hale of blue flames. That was the last straw. "To the pumps, men!" shouted Peters. And, like gallant volunteer firemen, they grumbled up the solitzer sphagns and put out the fire.—Saturday Brening Post Handicapped. Sam Snedeker, commissary keeper in an Alabama mining camp years ago, heard Robert G. Ingersoll lecture and forswore his belief in a place of fire and brimstone thereafter. It wasn't a week before he recanted. "A grown man can't handleap himself that a way." Sam said. "Where she — and — was I told to that telld ted bigger Luke of mine to go when he got shiftless?"—New York Post. Hot Stockings A large engineering firm in England received an order written in Russian and, although the manager had a pretty fair knowledge of the language, there were two words in the order that he was unable to translate. Somewhere in the works, however, a real Russian was employed. They brought him into the office, and he read the letter carefully, but was still puzzled by the two words. Literally, he explained, their meaning was "hot stocking," which seemed absurd, but was presently seen to be the nearest known Russian synonym for "fire how." HEALTH. HINT FOR TODAY. The toxic factor is regarded by many physicians as the most important one to combat when dealing with a case of severe burn. The routine practice is to swab the burnt surface gently with benzene and then to powder it thickly with novolodine powder and to cover it with gauze. No attempt to render the skin absolutely aneptic is made. Morphia and anaesthetics are avoided as tending to promote or increase shock. When pain is very severe anaesthetin powder is also used. This is both antiseptic and analgesic. The old dressing is removed in a bath when necessay and the process repeated. Blisters are snapped before the novodoline is applied. Cardiac stimulants are given freely, and a great polut in the treatment is copious saline infusion, which is stated to have given admirable results. All wet dressings, ointments and sedative drugs are avoided religiously. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY Don't For Boys. Don't neglect to use your toothbrush, particularly at bedtime. Good teeth help to keep you "fit." Don't leave fat on your plate when it is served to you with your ment. Fat feeds the nerves. If you want to have well developed muscles you must have good nerves. Don't think it doesn't matter whether your boots are sound or not. It matters a lot. Your health will soon suffer if you wear leaky boots. Don't think that it is only a "fad" to be particular about washing your hands before meals. It is anything but a fad. Poison may be conveyed into the system on food that has been touched by unwashed hands. Palleter's colle is often brought on because painters neglect to wash their hands before meals. Don't put penials belonging to other boys into your mouth. Throat ailments that give a lot of trouble are often set going because boys will do so. Don't forget that very unpleasant skin ailments may be caused by the habit of flinging your caps about in the street and into all sorts of dirty and dusty plagues and then directly afterward putting them on. Don't make a practice of reading by the light of a flickering fire or you may have to wear spectacles before your time. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. It is safe to say that if a sample of dust be taken at random from any office, warehouse, shop or factory, and this sample be properly tested for germs, the tubercle bacillus or the germ of consumption, will invariably be found to be present in large numbers. Now, it is the inhalation of dry, germaden dust that is the commonest cause of consumption, so that anything that tends to stir up this dust and convoy it to the mouth is literally "tempting providence," especially in weakly and anaemic persons with consumptive tendencies. As far as possible remove all dust from your work and neighborhood by means of a dumper dust. Never apply dusty fingers, stamps, envelopes or other objects capable of carrying disease germs to your tongue. Have a moist pad handy—it is easily obtainable—and use it. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Hurried Eating and Constipation Hurried eating is a common contributing cause of constipation as well as other dills. When the food is not properly masticated more energy is required in the upper part of the alimentary canal to reduce it to the condition necessary for complete digestion, and in cases in which the vitality is depleted this may so seriously cripple the activity of the lower part of the alimentary canal as to contribute largely to the atrophic condition which is a large factor in such cases. When the food is not fully masticated it is held back in the small intestine as well as in the stomach, and this also has a tendency to establish a sluggish action, which contributes to the condition favorable to constipation. While thorough mastication will not cure those cases which may be largely due to bad mental condition, excessive mixing of food, lack of exercise, overwork, too concentrated food, or some physical defect of the intestine, it is an important factor, and more careful mastication will contribute to improvement in all cases. Two Fly Across Lake Jack Villas, with William Bastar as a passenger, flew across Lake Michigan in a fishing boat, landing at Grant park, Chicago. He flew from St. Joseph, Mich., a distance of approximately sixty miles. The time of the flight was one hour and twenty-nine minutes. Geme In Verse START THE DAY RIGHT. START the day right. When the day comes to great you Give it a smile for each ray the it sends. Shake off the worries that long defeat you. Strengthen your faith in yourself and your friends. Testday's dizziness will be striving haunt you; Yesterday's errors may come to your brain. Throw off the worries that trouble a taunt you. Start the day right; begin over again. What a brief span is the longest existence. One flashing journey from nothing to night! Show while you may the old Roman aliance— Off with your drowsiness—into the fight. Never an empire was won by the laugard; Never a prize was obtained but no worth. Heed not the sneers of the misanthrophy haggard. Start the day right and they'll knot you're on earth. Start the day right and you'll find as many passes. Something to live for and something to love. View not the future through indigo glances. Note the bright streams and the thunder skies above. Failure may mock you through years of endearment. Fame and success may not come your will. But nothing can baffle a climber forever. Start the day right and you're half up the hill. Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. S A MAN'S BARGAIN. IF I cry out for fellowship, A comrade's voice, a comrade's grip, A hand to hold me when I lift, An ear to heed my groan, Renew that hour's dark costy, When all thy wages went over me, And thou and I with none to see, Were joined in fight alone. IF I demand a sheltered space, Set for me in the battle place, Where I at times could turn my face, A screened and welcome guest, Decree upon which forth cease, From its wild hankering after peace, And rest in that which gives release From the desire of rest. Become from hurricane. Point to thy locust eaten sheaves. The burnt out stars, the still born leaves. And by the toll no hope retreaves. TO BABYLON COMRADE, now the dawn is nigh. Light is velling every star. Pale against the polling sky Gleams a citadel afar. Where the earth and sky are one, Comrade, it is Ibylon Comrade, now the noonly blaze Heads upon us as we go. But I see a city's maze Gray against the flery glow. Shadowy towers, cool strands that run We are nearing Ibylon Comrade, had we ever grasped? Half the weary miles between! Now the sun is near the west. Now the trees the city screen. Ends the journey for begin. We are nearing Ibylon Comrade, now the night is late. In the darkness we must be Very near the city gate. Where is room for thee and me. Rest we now to morning sun! We shall wake at Ibylon! -Mrs. Andrew Lang. THE DREAMERS THE gypales passed her little gate. She stopped her wrist to see. A brown faced pair who walked the road Free as the wind is free. And suddenly her tidy foot A prison seemed to be. HER shining plates against the walls. Her surrill, gaudil door. The brass bound wrist in chest that held Her linen's snowy skin. The very wedge whose summing died. Beemed only chains the bore. SHE watched the foot free gypales pass She never knew or grasped. The wistful dream that drew them close. The longing in each breast. To some day know a home like hers. Wheroin their hearts might rest. HOPE! HEARD the walls of grief and wane. When Priam's walls were wrift in flame. I stood within the Forum place When Vandal ax and Gothic mace hattered the pride from Caesar's face; When Plague's foul legions filled the city; With corpse and be-tank the plain Of France from Paris to Lorraine; When Flanders fell before the siege That made a Spanish fland her liege; When were wolves wrought a guillotine For Louis and his fragile queen Twas I who staged anew the scene, Twas I who wiped away the scars And set the heavens fresh with stars. -Herbert Kaufman "I SAID TO LOVE." I SAID to love. "It is not now as in old days. When man adored thee and thy ways. All else above. Named thee the boy, the bright, the on Who spread a heaven beneath the sun I said to love. I SAID to love. "Thou art not young, thou art no fair; No fairy darts, no cherub air Nor awen nor dove Are thine, but features pitiless And iron daggers of distress." I said to love. —Thomas Hardy. GOD GIVE THEE PEACE TODAY. GOD give thee peace today. Happen whatever there may, On him thy spirit stay. As strikes each hour. —Charlotte Murray. "Have you a striking ideal for your novel?" "I should say so," replied the busy author. "We've got up a cover design that will make everything else on the newstand look like a bunch of withered turpai tops by comparison."—Washington Star. SAYINGS OF TODAY. SAYINGS OF TODAY. The American college of today is between the upper and nether millstones. The German-American university has now become the home of scholarship and research. If the American college is to repeat in the twentieth century the inestainable service it rendered to American civilization in the nineteenth century it must recognize the dawn of the new era. Let the typed graduate be trained not only in scholarship and culture, but how to loose whiskey—Henry Louis Smith, President Washington and Lee University. I feel as if I am making a twentieth century flight into another world. Comparisons are impossible. It will take me some time to get my breath. What a lot Europe might learn from wondrous America.

The idea of the mastership of man over woman has changed to the idea of equal partnership and right between man and wife, and the loftiest type of family life that I know is in the homes where that equality is accepted as a matter of course. Votes for women will not cure all evils. If I thought that I'd take'em away from men. But in no state where suffrage has been tried has it gone damage, and in every state it has bettered social and industrial conditions. All the arguments against it are duplicated in the arguments against manhood suffrage a century ago. Our democracy is based on the theory that the average man shall be the controlling factor in the government. Our whole effort is toward that. We have made the average man the master. All we propose to do now is to put his partner alongside him. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. SAYINGS OF CATO. Grip the subject; words will follow.

BACKS LAUTERBACH · TALE Wall Street Plunger Startles Lobby Probers With His Frank Admissions. Following the declarations of Edward Lauterbach, a New York lawyer, that he was duped by David Lamar in negotiations with Wall street men regarding a probe of the "steel trust." Lamar appeared before the senate Lobby investigating committee in Washington to make a statement. Lamar surprised the committee with some of his bold statements. Particularly did Lamar, sometimes referred to as the "Wolf of Wall Street," wish to explain Lauterbach's charges that Lamar had assured him Senator Stone and Speaker Clark were anxious for a "peaceful understanding" with Morgan and the United States Steel corporation interests. Lamar opened his statement with a recital of the motives back of his relations with Lauterbach. "I realize perfectly that my life and character are on trial before this committee" he began. He argued that his testimony and Lauterbach's had shown they were not engaged in any effort to get money from J. P. Morgan & Co. or other interests. "I'll tell you what my motive was," said Lamar. "It was either to force these men to recognize the injustice of their attitude" toward Lauterbach and myself or force them to come out into the open with the charges of blackmail they had circulated in New York for years against both of us. Lauterbach and his associates had ruined many men and I was determined they should not ruin me. Lamar said he knew Lewis Cass Lederdy was trying to "trip him" when he began telephoning representing himself as Representative Palmer, and then determined to fix up a "game" on Lederdy "to force the financial people into the open." Lauterbach had testified that all his information about Senator Stone and Speaker Clark had come from Lamar. Under a sharp fire of questions Lamar insisted that his only object was to bring about "just such a situation as this investigation." "I am the one victim in Wall street," said Lamar bitterly. "All the rost are actuated by the highest motives and possess the highest ideals." P. New York Stock Plunger in Union Pacific Lobby Scandal. He declared the whole thing was "a major Wall street operation traveling on parallel lines," and insisted that he was "after" Ledyard, Cravath, Evarts, Lovett and the Morgans, steel trust, Union Pacific and other intrests," and wanted to force them to an open attack. "It was a favorite method of mine for producing an explosion when I wanted one," he added. Lamar said he told Lauterbach the night after Representative Palmer had testified before the committee that he (Lamar) was the impersonator of Palmer and Representative Riordan. While in Pittsfield, Mass., Lamar said he telephoned to Lauterbach in Washington and told Lauterbach to go ahead and tell the committee the whole truth, and that the public hearing was precisely what Lamar had been wanting all along. He could not remember whether he told Lauterbach during this telephone conversation that he was the "mysterious man" in the case. "Do you think the brand of infamy should be placed upon a public servant who bargains with a great corporation for political advantage?" asked Senator Reed. "Not if the deal was in the public interest," replied Lamar. "You did not hesitate to tell Langerbach that Senator Sone and Speak Clark were parties to the program which was convened to Leibard." The accident occurred several miles from the troop camp. Lieutenant Call was regarded as one of the best army aviators. Daredevil Law Hurt by Fall. Rodman Law, after being shot out of a cannon, dropped from balloons and airships, dumped into the occup on a speeding motorcycle and escaping unarmed from a score of other dangerous feats, came to grief in a fall of three feet from a wagon at Hackensack, N. J. on Tuesday. His shoulders were sprained badly and a finger was so lacerated that he will have to have it amputated. The 200 inmates of the South Mountain Insane asylum, near Wernerville Pa., were thrown into excitement by a fire that destroyed an old roller mill on the premises. The 300 male inmates organized into a fire brigade fought the fames and saved adjoining structures. The loss is $6000. "You had sent. Lauterbach, your friend, a man sixty-eight years old into a trap?" demanded Reed. "Yes, better light in the open than slow death," replied Lamar heatedly. "I sent Lauterbach into Ledyard's hands so that he would be completely in Ledyard's power and would give Lodyard reason for finally coming into the open:" There is no federal law under which Lamar could be prosecuted for impersonating congressmen over the telephone, according to the view of officials of the department of justice, after an examination of the statutes. It was the bellof that the statute, forbidding impersonation of government officers did not reach the case, because that law embraced only cases where intent to defraud could be shown. RESCUES MAN WITH DOG AS "BUOY" Boy Saves Drowning Man With Help of Animal Using his dog "Spud" as a buoy "Dorie" Leallo, seventeen years old made a gallant rescue of Alfred Meyers, a Philadelphia cottager, from the ocean off New Hampaiire avenue at Atlantic City, N. J. Meyers went into the surf for a dip. When fifty yards from shore he was caught in cross currents that swept out around a series of jettles. The swimmer soon tired out and found he could make no headway and called for help. The boy and dog were playing on the beach, but immediately responded "Dorle" going into the water without waiting to remove his clothing, and "Spud" trailing close behind him. He had taught the dog to tow him about in the water, and so when they reached the side of the drowning man "Dorle" placed Meyers' hands on the dog's collar and headed him for the shore. They had a tremendous struggle with the currents and for a time it seemed that they would be swept out through the old Inlet channels and into a veritable raoway where the currents join the rougher waters boyond, but "Dorle" used his head and managed to swing by with his "buoy" and burden and reach the shore. DANIELS VISITS PHILADELPHIA Inspects Navy Yard and Suggests Elaborate Improvements. Laborate improvements. On his first visit to Philadelphia since he became a member of the cabinet, Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels came over from Washington for a tour of inspection of the League Island navy yard and the Naval Hospital and Home. Secretary Daniels put to rest all rumors that he intended dismantling the navy yard and transferring the marines to other barracks and assured his inquirers that it was his intention to make substantial improvements. The secretary said that all the marines would remain and that the quarters might have to be enlarged. That the secretary is favorably inclined to ward Philadelphia as an ideal marine and naval base is considered certain by persons who accompanied him. A "SLEEPING DUEL" Tossed Coin to See Which Should Cut Other's Throat as He Slumbers. In a "sleeping duel," Charles Robin son's throat was cut and he is dying in a hospital in Mobile, Ala. Robinson and Frank Broncho, a Spaniard, shipped on the schooner Henry Croshy for the West Indies. They loved the same girl. Two days out, according to Broncho, they matched pennies to see which shoul cut the other's throat while he slept. Robinson lost. He is too weak to give his version, and the whole truth may never be known. The captain of the schooner returned to port with the wounded man. SON KILLS FATHER Another Son Mortally Wounded by Injuried Parent. John Dobson, a farmer, fifty years old, died near Central, S.C. from wounds received in a resolver duel with his seventeen-year-old son. It is said that the boy attempted to aid his mother, whom Dobson was mistreating. The father mortally wounded another son, who had taken no part in the difficulty. After the shooting the older boy escaped, but later surrendered to the sheriff. Blotting at Cabin Creek Sheriff Bonnerbill has sent reen forcements to Cabin Sreek, W.

Fifty-two eastern railroads now face a strike of nearly 100,000 trainmen and conductors as a result of the total collapse of the peace conference that has been juggling with the gage of battle for the last six months. Ninety-four per cent of the conductors and trainmen have voted to strike. The question of whether or not a strike that will affect 50,000 miles of railroad will actually be called will be determined Saturday, when a meeting of the general committee of the conductors and trainmen of the roads affected will be held in New York. If these committeemen vote at that meeting for a strike the strike will be called. It was said that if a strike was called only a few days would elapse between the time, of the announcement and the actual walkout. The conference at which the vote was announced was that of the conference committee of managers of eastern railroads and a committee representing the Order of Railroad Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. The counting of the vote resulted as follows: For a strike, 76,633; against a strike, 4210. When the conference convened the Eric railroad announced that it had withdrawn from the proceedings, on the ground that it would be unable to meet any advance which might result. This practically invites a strike on that road. The Eric statement, signed by J. C. Stuart, vice president, says in part: "Similar proceedings in the past have resulted in increased wages, and while it may be possible for some roads to meet these increases, the Erle railroad is not in position to do so at present. The wage increase demanded amounts to 25 per cent, or a total annual cost, on the basis of present figures, of practically $1,200,000." The Erle says it is willing to consider wages and conditions of individuals but will not agree to any general increase to any class of employees at the sacrifice of needed safety appliances and improved equipment. The increase in wages asked for averaged about 20 per cent per annum, or about $17,000,000.

Mrs. Mary Watson, twenty two years old, died at the Seaview hotel at Rock away Beach, L. L., of septic poisoning following her confinement two weeks ago. After her death her husband Thomas, took their little baby, tried to strangle it with a handkerchief and blew out his own brains with a revolver in a clump of laurel bushes near City Beach park. Watson's body was found by two brothers; Albert Brooks and John Brooks, of Platinafeld, N. J., who were walking near the beach in Nephontis. They heard the half-strangled crice of a baby from a clump of laurel, and looking into the bushes found Watson dead, with a bullet in his head and a revolver clutched in his right hand. By his side was the baby, with a handkerchief bound around its neck. One of the brothers called the Rock away hospital, while the other looed ed the handserchief around the baby's neck. The father was dead, but the baby wasn't much the worse for strangulation and it will probably live. Man and Girl: Brown.

There are a good many modernizing touches, which may home seamsstress could give to set years' then suit, and if you want to go to the expense of having a thicker ramodel it he can do so in a way that will make it look like new. This year, like every year, shows plenty of straight colored coats, slightly double breasted, with regulation cont sleeves and neck collars. They are little distressed from the plain tailor coat of last year, excepting they bring a little more perhaps about the waist. But the more elaborate coat, most of them, single breasted, and any tailor coat make a single breasted coat of last breasted one by cutting away the old coat and inserting a figured skirt, crop or creme waist coat or one of contrasting material in plain color. These little waistbeats, reaching a little below the waist and ending in points or bent into a belt of the same material, which books or buttons loose, are seen in many of the new coats. They are stitched at the edges to make them flat and to help them keep their shape, and they are generously decorated with tiny pearl buttons or with suttching in silk braid. Another rendering touch is the blinding of silk braid. Many an old coat really looks well excepting that it has sagged a little about the bottom and the edges look worn or shiny from bundering. Many of the new coats are bound about the edge with braid, which also binds the collars and cuffs and which is set up down one or two squares of the skirts. The old coat could be trimmed where it has sagged so that it is even again and then bound with braid, either black or of a darker shade of the color of the suit. The brush blending, of course, makes washing of the linen suit difficult. Dry cleaning can be as easily applied to the brass as to the linen. A black satin collar, another popular feature of many of the seasons suits, with cuffs to match, helps to make it unnecessary to wash it, and for that matter, so does the brush blending, for it is always the collar and cuffs and the edges of the coat which test show soil. HOW TO ARRANGE A BUTTERFLY PARTY. At this season of the year, when country glories are looking their prettiest, why not have the children's party out of doors? Instead of bostons games a butterfly lion would be a pear and a lion of entertainment. Butterflies of all colors may be made of paper and hidden in the shrubtery, among the flowers and in other places that will suggest themselves. Have one golden butterfly, comical in an especially good pose. Give each child a big mode of tulle or muslin and tell her (g) hunt for the butterflies. Have a prize for the one finding the greatest butterfly and one particular prize for the child discovering the golden butterfly. Refreshments served on the porch will please the little folks and may be made appropriate for the occasion. How to Clean a Carafe. Every housecare who owns a can glass carafe has been up against the proposition of cleaning out the deposit on the inside. Hot water, besides being extremely bad for the glass, is of little avail even if it be very soapy. Here is a process which takes but a few moments and is very satisfactory. Place in the bottle a nonspoofed, hydrochloric acid or spirit of salicylate manipulate the bottle so that every portion of it shall be thoroughly rinsed. The deposit, no matter how hardened, will be removed immediately. When the carafe has been thoroughly cleaned rinse well in clear water. How to Make Raspberry Sauce. For this use one pint of raspberry juice, two teaspoonfuls of flour or one of cornstarch, one half cupful of sugar and four eggs. Bent the eggs well and mix the flour with a little water till smooth, then put all into a saucepan with the sugar and the juice. Set in another pan of boiling water and stir constantly till the sauce thickens. A few crushed berries may be added in desired. This is a good sauce for use with any simple pudding. How to Clean Silver Quickly Put a handful of salt or soda in any aluminium vessel (pan or dish) place the silver to be cleaned in the dish, cover with water, lift out and rub dry with linen towel. The silver will be brighter than if silver paste polish were used, and this method takes less time. HOW TO CLEAR LAST SEASON'S STRAW HAT. The last year's white hat may be cleaned till it looks like new at a cost of 5 cents. Get that amount of oxalic acid and dissolve it in a pit of water. Remove all bands and trimming from the hat and apply the acid with a toothbrush, rubbing around and around. When the straw is clean, rinse well in several waters to wash off all the acid, which would surely not the straw if left on. Then place the hat on against surface in the bright sunshine, which, in combination with the acid treatment, bleaches it. If the hat is a sailor turn it upside down when partly dry and put a weight such as a small flat iron in the crown to prevent it from sanguing in. Great care must be taken in using and disposing of the acid, as it is a deadly poison. --- TRY THESE RECIPES How to Prepare the Good Things Grandmother Made. Mother's Corn Muffin--Mother was certainly famous for her corn muffins, which were made after this recipe. Mix together one cupful of cornmeal, two cupfuls of flour with three teaspoonfuls of baking powder mixed through. Melt some butter, enough to measure three-quarters of a cupful; stir this in and also a fourth of a cupful of sugar, and one cupful of sweet milk; stir in a little salt and three eggs well beaten. Hake in muffin or gem tans. Bakel Ham With Cider. - Select a ham of medium weight and wash it well in cold water; cover with fresh water and cook for twenty-four hours; place in the kettle and cover with fresh sweet cider; put on the fire and let come to the boiling point, then shimmer gently fifteen minutes to the pound or till tender. Remove from kettle and carefully take off all the rind, sprinkle lightly with sugar, put in a baking pan and cook in a moderate oven till nicely browned, blasting with cider from time to time. Ment Roll--one quart of butter that has been run through the grinder twice (in olden times they chopped it very fine); one quart of breadcrumbs moistened with one pint of milk and three eggs beaten together, adding one round teaspoonful of salt, one of pepper, one tablespoonful of fine sugar and two teaspoonfuls of butter. If there is much fat in the meat the butter may be omitted. Mix the meat lightly with the softened bread, shape into two leaves in a pan and place in a hot oven to form a crust, then pour a little hot water in the pan and bake one hour. Make this the day before it is needed. Floating Island...Make a soft custard, using one quart of milk; heat it slightly and add the yolks of four eggs and two of the whites well boiled, with a boiling tablespoonful of sugar and a flavoring of vanilla. Cook in a double boiler, and as soon as it begins to stick a little on the side remove from the fire and pour it in the dish in which it is to be served. Just before tee time boat the whites of the two eggs very stiff with powdered sugar and make data over the top of the custard and put a bit of currant or grape jelly in the center of each island. How to Remove Stains Iron mold and dry ink stains may be removed by placing the stained material in a hot solution of salts of sorrel or salts of lemon and leaving it to steep until they disappear or by placing the stained part over a basin and pouring boiling water through to molten the stain, which enables the chemical action to take place more rapidly. Then a small quantity of salts of lemon or salts of sorrel should be placed on the stain and rubbed firmly in and boiling water again poured through. If the first application does not remove it the process must be repeated. If the iron mold is due to old from rust neither of the above mentioned chemicals may remove it successfully. A pinch of oxalic acid, which is a stronger chemical, may then have the desired effect. It is used in exactly the same manner as salts of lemon, but it must be used with great care, as it is injurious to fabric. How to Start Fortune Save a little every week and when you get an increase of wages or salary continue to live within the former limits and save the increase. If you find it difficult to save go in debt for a home or undertake some other obligation in the way of investment that will compel you to save. In these days, of course, the average man or woman has better opportunity to win success in salaried positions than in individual enterprises. The big enterprises pay big salaries at the top and close application will win promotion toward these bigger rewards. It is not necessary, for a man or woman to get a big salary before he or she begins to put money aside. How to Wear the Modish Bash How to Wear the Modish Sash Sashes may be tied at the side of the back with short ends or may hang from a flat hat directly in the middle of the back with long, side platted ends, caught at the bottom by hem stitched hands of ribbon or silk. Plot-edged ribbon sashes have tasselled ends. Small sashes the directly in the middle of the front with three inch loops edged with five inch fringe. How to Clean Rugs. To clean Sinyrina rugs brush through the velvet surface a mixture of corn salt and cornmeal, slightly dampened The First Gas Tube William Murdock, a Scottish mining engineer, appears to have been the first to suggest that gas might be conveyed in tubes and used instead of lamps and candles. He made a very ingenious gas lantern for himself, with which he used to light his way over the Cornish moors at night. This lantern consisted of a ring filled with gas and fitted with a tube at the end of which the girls could be lighted Carrying the bag under his arm. Murdoch used to light his way home at night. On meeting any one he would give the bag a squeeze and thus send out a long tongue of fame. This led to his being looked upon as the demon of the Corsish moors.

WEALTH DISTRIBUTION. In common with all Socialism, I believe that if the proceeds of industry were justly distributed among those participating in wealth production there would be few, if any, fortunes exceeding $100,000 to legislate about. The claims, made by many wealthy people so often that their fortunes are the result of their own labor, enterprise, self-denial and thrift socialists generally disguise us being at variance with equally demonstrable facts. ** facts.** Accumulations of private wealth will cease to require legislative attention in proportion as the sources of wealth and the process of wealth production are safeguarded by the state against unearned profit—J. G. Phelps Stokes. WOMAN'S MISSION. Woman's function in society is determined by the constitution of her nature. As the spontaneous organ of feeling, on which the unity of human nature entirely depends, she constitutes the purest and most natural element of the moderating power, which, while avowing its own subordination to the material forces of society, purposes to direct them to higher uses. First an mother, afterward as wife, it is her office to conduct the moral education of humanity. Woman's mission is a striking illustration of the truth that happiness consists in doing the work for which we are naturally fitted. Their mission is always the same. It is summed up in one word: love. It is the only work in which there can never be too many workers. It grows by co-operation. It has nothing to fear from consentition. Women are charged with the education of sympathy, the source of real human unity, and their highest happiness is reached when they have the full consciousness of their vocation and are free to follow it.—Auguste Conte.

Equal rights do not imply that both sexes should engage promptly in the same pursuit, but rather that each sex should discharge those duties which are adapted to its physical constitution and are sanctioned by the canons of society. The sad results likely to follow in our own country from an active participation in political strife are forcibly shadowed by the scenes which are daily occurring in England, where women, many of them of retired education, are ruthlessly pursued by the mob and are protested from physical violence only by the interposition of the police. * * * As soon as a woman trembles on the domain of man she must not be surprised that the reverence once recorded her in the post has been wholly or in part withdrawn and that she is sold with the dust of the political arena.

Man everywhere and in all ages have rendered it their homage, but never more so than in the present time. Nothing in this age can take the place of it or atoms for the want of it—Rev. Dr. A. A. Wilkins. Gems In Verse THE NOISELESS PATRIOT. WHEN Freedom from her moun- tain height Unfurl her standard to the air And tears, the robe of night and day Beyond, I would almost seem, repair, Unlike the stars of glory, I Shall not be there—shall not be there. When cannon crackers split their sides And bowwheels spin and rocke glare, When bowwheels misses erupt And Roman candles fizz and flare, Unlike the Roman candle, I Shall not be there—shall not be there. Let pandemonium break loose: Let cannon roar and brass band blare While Freedom poses the walkin's robes And Oratory saws the air. I'm glad to say that I, for one, Shall not be there—shall not—be—there (Palls asleep.) —Puck. TO ONE-WHO DESPAIRED OF THE REPUBLIC. PAINT black with peril what the time portends; Breathe, if thou will, but stifling horrible leanness. Brood on man's swift decline from small to lose. The beast that wallows or the beast that rants. Yet shall the good prevail. We shall not fall! BLUSH for our country's dignity and fame. Forced by those who rob us of our pride. Deplore the treepers at the altar's side. While madmen light their torch at Freedom's flame. Yet shall the good prevail. We shall not fall! YEA, shudder at the temple strenn with coin. Law leaning on the broken sword of force. And streams of weakness, come from many a source. In one wild food of turbulence to join, Yet shall the good prevail. We shall not fall! HAST thou forgotten heaven's patient plan? From many a blacker chaos have we come. Nature, a million heroes in her womb. Doth ever answer to the need of man. So shall the best prevail. And we not fall! —Robert Underwood Johnson. IT TAKES A MAN. It takes a man to stand alone. A man whose heart is strong. To do what he believes is right And single hand made his night When thousands call him wrong. It takes a man to turn aside The popular applause. To stand against the moving tide Of multitudes when they decide And not forake his cause. It takes a man content to be Unpopular, unheard, To battle condescensionally For right his followers may not see When hatters' head is reared. Great deeds are seldom born of praise. With stilts tight is not won. Unpopular are off the ways Of him who works the truth to raise Until his work is done. Detroit Free Press. THE FAR PORT DOWN the title of drifting years Under sun and moon and star Gubbled by our hopes and fear Life's frail boat drift on afar Many ports where we would stay Seem so peaceful, fair and still. But they hold us for a day. And we go nor know our will. Fairy tales ahead we see. Sun kneel, set in wondrous blue When mare and enchantments die. And we seek for regions new. But the new so soon is old; Old destiny so soon are gone; We lay waste the moment's gold Some fresh hope to follow. So the far port calls and calls With its waters still untried. This fair port when twilight falls We shall teach on life's last tide. - George Lawrence Andrews. TOMMY'S SANE FOURTH WE had a same Fourth at our house.

WAGE ARBITRATION The experience arising from large wage controversies places a serious responsibility upon those whose duty it is to enact proper legislation governing the relations between employer and employee, to consider whether the Erdman act should not be amended to increase the number of arbitrators and thereby constitute a board of sufficient size to properly represent the public as well as the parties to the controversy and to direct the necessary farreaching investigations and fully share the responsibility of an impartial determination of the equitable and economic questions arising from such disputes. It will also be found necessary to provide a longer time than thirty days specified in the act for the consideration of the subject and the rendering of a decision. It may not be possible to prevent strikes or lockouts by requiring compulsory arbitration, but it is wise to consider whether an obligation should not be placed upon the employer and employee to advise the authorities of the questions at issue before any lockouts or strike can become effective, so that by due publication and inquiry the government and the public may be fully informed of the extent of the controversy and its causes—Sarmuel Ran, President Pennsylvania Railroad. THE BRAVE HEART. clanging is Abolished in Pennsylvania Under a bill just signed by Governor Tener, of Pennsylvania, electrocution is to replace hanging of murderers in the state. The executions are to take place at the new western penitentiary, now being built in Centre county. Persons convicted of murder and sentenced to death prior to passage of the act are to be hanged. Morderers whose crime is committed, after June 19, 1913, are subject to electrocution. The inspectors of the western penitentiary are commanded immediately to undertake the construction of an appropriate building for electrocution on the site of the new penal institution in Centre county, and to install such electrical machinery and apparatus as may be necessary. BEREAVED Let me come in where you sit weeping 'aye. Let me, who have not any child to die. Weep with you for the little one whose love I have known nothing of. The little arms that slowly, slowly hosed. Their pressure round your neck, the hands you used. To kiss such arms, such hands I never knew. May I not weep with you? Pain would I be of service—say something. Between the tears that would be comforting. But, ah, so sadder than yourselves am I. Who have no little child to die! --James Whitcomb Riley. TEACHING YOUTH.

It will be true if nothing be taught but such as is beneficial to one's life, lost there be a cause of complaining afterward. We know not necessary things because we have not learned things necessary. 2. It will be full if the mind be polished for wisdom, the tongue for eloquence and the hands for a neat way of living. This will be that grace of one's life-to be wise to act to speak 3, 4. It will be clear, and by that firm and solid. If whatever is taught and learned be not obscure or confused, but apparent, distinct and artificial as the fingers on the hands. - Johann Amos Comenius. BE STEADFAST. Let nothing make thee sad or fretful. Or too regretful. Be still. What God has ordered must be right. Then find it in thine own delight, My will. Why shouldst thou fill today with sorrow About tomorrow, My heart? One watches all with care most true. Doubt not that he will give thee, too. Thy part. Only be steadfast. Never waver Nor seek earth's favor. But rest. Thou knowest what God wills must be For all his creatures, so for thee, The best. —Paul Fleming. SYDNEY SMITH'S HUMOR.

W Itall was married all of us What was the sackham mine? But Bill, the lay bachelor, Who never did mine To spice with any local girls, Though they all liked him fine. The women folks got after Bill For puttin' up of nits. And 'lowin' holl' sweet freedom was From coinngular caree. They provol how man isn't worth a cuss Not travelin' in palms. So Bill he writ a letter to a woldin' cheffender Or burgeen' I don't just recall. But 'tis a thing to fear. Though claimin' it gives hungry hearts The proper kind of steer. They caught a female wife for Bill And shipped her in by freight. The women folks was some disjoyed, But Bill seemed pleased first rate. And says the importation scheme Is fine to get a mate. The days wore on and almost out, And soon they brung a change. The joysome Bill became a grouch, The worst on Cascade range. He was, I no more welcome home Than pop hounds with the munge. Bill's wife was boss and run the ranch; Bill never had no show. When she says "Quilt!" Bill'd up and stop; When she says "Gilt!" he'd go. And if he got home after night He slep' out in the snow. So-Bill concludes with womenkind All signs and omens fall. He sells his shirts and says: "Goodby! I'm goin' to hit the trail. For the female of her species Most deadly got by mail." -C.R. Moore in Judge. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN A penny saved is a penny earned Benjamin Franklin. How to Halve Household Bills. There is no one thing alone which stands for economy. One must study the daily needs and be well acquainted with standard prices. There is much truth in the saying, "Where there is a will there is a way." The cheaper cuts of meat are just as palatable when cooked properly. A tough round steak may be pounded well, sprinkled liberally with flour and seasoned well, after which it is ready for a hot frying pan. When cooked it is deliciously tender. Meat once a day is all that is necessary for any one especially in summer. Baked macaroni with cheese is a good substitute. When the oven is on it is well to get as much of the dinner in as possible as to move fuel. After the oven is well heated the back burner may be turned off and an even heat remains. Splendid soups may be made by leftovers. Leftover vegetables with scraps of meat, to which a handful of rice is added, are very nutritious. This makes a fine soup. Scraps of bread are savel and either ground for breading meats, made into puddings or used for dressings. Plenty of homemade bread is better than too much cake and pastry and is certainly cheaper. After all, the high cost of living is a matter which can be controlled by the individual. It is not so much the amount eaten as the amount wasted that makes household bills 'soar' so high. DESTRUCTIVE INSECTS. How to Battle With Cabbage and Other Plant Lice. No time should be lost in destroying weeds and insects. It is labor that must not be neglected. Insects are easily controlled if the work is begun in time. There are two kinds of insects—the biting and the sucking species. To the biting kind belong the Colorado potato dugge beetle, cutworms, etc., which devour a portion of the plant. The sucking insects belong to the family of plant lice that secure their food from the juice of the plant, sucking it through their slender beaks. Some internal poison, such as paris green or arsenate of lead, must be used to destroy the biting insects, while a solution that kills by contact, such as karosene emulsion or tobacco deposition, must be used for the sucking species. Cabbage and other plant lice are best controlled by spraying with kerosene emulsion, using the 15 per cent solution—a solution containing 15 per cent of kerosene. If the lice are on tree flowers or rosebushes tobacco decoction may be used with good results. The tobacco decoction is made by taking three pounds of tobacco stems and five gallons of water and boiling for two hours. It is used without diluting, but must not be applied too hot. If treatment is begun in time plant lice can be controlled. It must be done before the leaves are curled so the spray cannot reach the pests. There should be several sprayings, four or five days apart, as one spraying will not completely do the work. Clean culture is important in fighting these insects, as with many others. How to Keep Buttons Some housewives save all their pill and lozenge boxes to hold small buttons, and they fasten a sample button to the top of each box. This is a good plan, but not quite so good as one big box having compartments. Into one compartment put the pearl buttons into another put the bone ones, and still another put the cloth covered buttons, and so on. It takes me more time to put a stray button into its proper Bill-Heads, Letter and Note Heads, Envelopes, Business & Visiting Cards, Policies, Medical Blanks, Insurance Blanks, Financial Cards, Lodge Books, Labels, Checks, Check Books, Minutes, Pamphlets, Whole Sheet Handbills, Placards.

How to Care For Auto Radiators. How to Care For Auto Radiators. Radiators on old cars, which are not provided with flexible connections to protect them from the effects of frame distortion, frequently can be rendered less prone to spring a leak if a pad of thick rubber matting be inserted between the bottom of the radiator itself and its cradle on the frame. The experiment is easily tried and, whatever its other effect, has the merit of reducing much of the vibration to which the radiator otherwise will be subjected. ```markdown ``` How to Darn Table Linen.

Man and Woman Stain. The bodies of Mrs. Salille E. R. Seitles and William Hough were found in the woman's home in Lewistown, Pa. Each, had a bullet wound in the head. Hough's body was on a couch and that of the woman was lying on the floor. The police believe the woman shot the man and then herself.

Negro Who Shot Boy While Playing in Street Escaped Before Victim Otto Crump, a fourteen-year-old Negro boy, of 1314 Baldwin Street, who was shot in the back on May 31st by George Harell, colored, died yesterday afternoon in the City Hospital from the effects of his wound. Harell, alias George Harris, allag "Big Boy," made his escape from the city following the shooting, and has not been found by the police. The charge against him will be changed to murder, and efforts to apprehend him rebounded. The wounding of the Crump boy appears to have been unprovoked. According to those who witnessed the shooting, Harell walked out into the perch of his home at Seventeenth and Bolling Sts, about 5 o'clock on the afternoon of May 2, 2014, and drawing a .32 calibre receiver, fired directly into a crowd of small colored boys on the street corner. Otto Crump fell with a bullet in the lower parcel of his back, and Harell walked into his residence. Although Harell fled shortly after the shooting, members of his family declare that he had been annoyed by the gang of boys for weeks, and that he had intended merely to fire over the heads of the crowd and frighten them so roundly that they would abandon the neighborhood as a lea-fit place. When the city ambulance arrived, the boy had been removed to Seventeenth and Baldwin Streets. He was living, but was completely paralyzed below the waist. He was removed to the City Hospital, and every effort made to save his life, and although he lunged for more than a month, it was apparent that his wound would be fatal. The paralysis gradually spread from his limbs up to his vital organs. Coroner Taylor has ordered the inquest to be held Friday morning at 10 o'clock in the City Hall. Harrell, who conducted a store at Seventeenth and Baldwin Streets, was a large, powerful Negro. From his description as furnished the police, he was about twenty-nine years old, six feet tall, and weight 150 pounds. Times Dispatch, July 10th. ... Baltimore Negregation. Annapolis, Md., June 25. Arrangements on the appeal that the State's Attorney for Baltimore noted against the decision of Judge Thomas Ireland Elliott of Baltimore, declaring the so-called West segregation law to be invalid were heard in the Court of Appeals yesterday. Attorney General Poe represented the State, City Solicitor Field, Baltimore, and Wm. L. Marbry, Democratic candidate for United States Senator and advocate of the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment, represented the white segregationists. W. Ashleigh Hawkins, of the firm of Hawkins and McMochan, Baltimore made the principal argument against the constitutional Association for the Advancement of the Colored People. The case before the Court of Appeals was that of Rev. John H. Gurry of Baltimore, who had been indicted for moving into a "white block" in that city. Hawkins, who represented Gurry, pleaded a demurrier to the indictment. A hearing on the demurrier took place last October, at which time Mr. Hawkins attacked the constitutionality of the law. A decision was handed down last April declaring the law to be invalid. Mr. Hawkins, in his argument yesterday, declared that the whites were the only ones clamoring for the passage of such a measure, that no plaintiff had been made by colored people about their white neighbors. He claimed that the law was void because it embraced more than one subject in the title; that the body of the ordinance embraces several things each entirely foreign to the other, and is therefore void and that it is restraint of property rights and tends to a violation of contract. "In no manner," Mr. Hawking said "have the colored people sought to interfere with their white neighbors because of this legislation or the saturation which inspired it. Highly inflammatory newspaper articles and speeches made at various meetings throughout the city, interviews in the daily press by leaders of the agitation, resolutions passed by so-called improvement associations, arguments advanced by members of the City Council and others at hearings held by that body, the whole agitation in numberless ways conclusively showed that the ordinance was drawn to discriminate against a certain and well-defined element of the public in the matter of residences, schools and churches. This is a matter of common knowledge "By the 221st section of the charter of the city of Baltimore, it is enacted that 'every ordinance enacted by the city shall embrace but one subject which shall be revived, amended or reenacted by mere reference to its title, but the same shall be set forth at length, as in the original ordinance." Referring to the title of the law which says that it is an ordinance as one "for preserving peace, preventing conflict and ill-feeling between the white and colored races in Baltimore city and promoting the general welfare of the city by providing so far as practicable, for the use of separate blocks by white and colored people for residences, churches and schools." Attorney Hawkins averred that "by providing for the use of separate blocks," etc. on a "fair interpretation shows conclusive by that more than one subject is referred to, and therefore the ordinance is void. Speaking of the body of the ordinance, he said: "It undertakes to provide a penalty for a violation of its terms by white and colored people respectively; to define the meaning of a block as used in the ordinance; to add further regulations controlling the inspector of buildings in issuing permits for the construction of buildings, and to put even the matter, of religious worship, as well as schools, under the control of the police department by requiring the issuance of permits for the same. While the last two subjects are set in detail in the ordinance they are barely hinted at in the title. The ordinance contains more than one subject and is therefore invalid." He cited a number of authorities to show that municipal corporations cannot go beyond the powers expressly granted them and must exercise such powers in a reasonable manner, that the ordinance is "unjust unreasonable, oppressive and unnecessary, arbitrary and unnecessary to the public welfare;" that the law only apparently falls upon white and colored alike, and that the intent of the law was that it should affect a certain class with unusual harshness, which object is accomplished in its operations, it is void. He asserted that the law attempted a violation of the obligation of contract and placed a restraint upon one's right to contract, and that "classification must be based upon some difference in hearing a reasonable and just relation to the act in respect to which a reasonable classification is attempted, but no mere arbitrary selection can ever be justified by calling it classification." (Sante Fe R. R. vs. Matthews, 174 U. S. 105.) Declaring that the law was classification and contrary to provision of the Fourteenth Amendment, he concluded his argument by saying: "This ordinance is not aimed at protecting the health, morale or safety of the community, nor to provide for its general welfare. It is but an effort to protect what one class believes to be its property right. Attorney Brooks, in his argument, held 1. The ordinance for a breach of which the indictment was filed is void for indemnity and uncertainty. 2. The ordinance is partial and unfair and is void as discriminatory in favor of the class of citizens against another. 3. It is unconstitutional under the State constitution guaranteeing individual rights. 4. It is unconstitutional under the federal constitution guaranteeing individuals against State enforcement. Should the Court of Appeals decide against the corporeation is another law may be passed by the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore. Besides a number of white politicians and others favoring corporeation, a representative audience of colored citizens heard the arguments. 205 N. Pine St. Baltimore, Md. New England Baptist Missionary Convention Meet. Washington, June 17. The thirty-ninth annual session of the New England Baptist Missionary Convention came to an end at Cosmetopolitan Baptist Church last night with a reception to the delegates. During the evening addresses were delivered by former Swator Henry W. Blair, Reg. Officer of the Treasury Napier, Revs W. Bishop Johnson president of the convention; S. P. W. Drew, whose congregation entertained the delegates and others. Former Senator Blair urged the convention to take an active interest in a campaign to secure aid for common school education from the federal government. The common school, he said, is the bulwark of the nation and the natural feeder to the university, college and industrial school. He declared that every child, regardless of race, should have an opportunity to secure a good training in the fundamentals. Rev. W. A. Moss, of Brooklyn, N. Y., introduced a resolution urging Congress and the President to all common schools, such money to be apportioned out by the various States, without prejudice to race. The delegates were received by President Wilson at the White House yesterday afternoon. Among the important happenings during the session were the starting of a campaign to raise $10,000 toward the establishment of a denominational college in the North, the passage of resolutions condemning laws aimed at the race and the discussion of plans for the moral and religious uplift of the colored people of the North. The next session will be held at Bridgeport, Conn. The officers for the ensuing year include: Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, Washington, president; Rev. W. P. Norman, New Jersey, vice-president; Rev. W. A. Harrod, corresponding secretary; Rev. W. King, New York, reciting secretary; Rev. R. D. Wynn, New Jersey, treasurer; N. B. Dodson, Brooklyn, N. Y., president of the Sunday School Auxiliary; and Mrs. Holland, Providence, R. I., head of the Women's Auxiliary. Mexican War Veteran Dies at 91.

OTHERS ARE DRAGGED DOWN The First National, of McKeesport Also Closed and Receivers Asked For Big Water Company. The First Second National bank, of Pittsburgh, Pa., the second largest in the city, was closed by order of the complaint of the current. The First National bank, of McKeesport, Pa., an allied institution, also closed its doors. W. S. Kuhn and J. S. Kuhn own the controlling interests in both banks, and then closed led to persistent re- ports that other conspirators in which the two men are interested were in trouble. These were in part verified when application for a receiver for the American Water Works and Guaranty company was filed in the federal court. This is the largest concern of its kind in the country, controlling more than forty water works plants. The Kuhns are prominently identified with it. The attorneys who appeared before Judge C. P. Orr in the federal court to ask for receivers for the American Water Works and Guarantee company also asked for receivers for the banking firm of J. S. & W. S. Kahn, Inc. For the former there were appointed: J. S. Kahn, W. S. Kahn, J. H. Purdy, general manager of the company; and Samuel Bailey, Jr., a bank official of Pittsburgh. For the Kahn firm was appointed J. K. Dau, who is treasurer. Bonds of $2000 were ordered filed for each receiver. J. S. & W. S. Kahn & Co have branch office in Philadelphia, Chicago, New York and representati in Boston and London. The legal reserve of the First and National bank, according to a dispatch from Washington, was deficient by $2,145. June 4, the date of the last call by the compraveller of the currency. This brought the situation to climax. Differences of long standing with the treasury department concerning the character and value of certain assets of the former First National bank, which was merged with the Second National bank last Match, entered in to the situation. The Pittsburgh Clearing House as society has taken charge of the situation generally and announces that no further trouble is expected. The suspension of the First Second National and the First National bank of McKessport, caused considerable exentement. The following notice was posted on the doors of the First Sec and bank: "Payment of all items mauring here will be received. C. C. Murray, receiver." As word of the suspension becomes known, depositors of the Pittsburgh Bank for Saying, a few blocks away, started a run on that situation. J. S. Kuhn is president of this bank. Several thousand persons congregated about the First Second National bank. A squad of police was necessary to keep the great crowd moving. The failure of the First Second National bank ties up deposits aggregating approximately $250,000. Gettyaburo Camp Ends.

Assisted by Major Normoylo and the United States soldiers, the old soldiers were entrained and thousands departed, all shouting praise for the big encampment. The president of the United States came to Gettysburg and made a speech and over a dozen governors, trailed by their staffs, marched and countermarched, but the real feature of the last day of the reunion was the parade before reunion, the shining, shouting parade, white Confederate bands played "Marming Through Georgia" and the Federad bands stirred the echoes of the Roundtops with "State." The paraders were made up of old men who had found their youth on the field of Gettysburg and who marched with their hands on each other's shoulders or their arms around each other's necks. No one episode of the remi-centennial celebration testified so finely to the one big fact that the veterans of the blue and gray have thoroughly enjoyed themselves, but all bitterness, all soreness has passed away, and that every dollar that our Uncle Sam and the states spent was mighty well spent in bringing them together. At least 75,000 people saw the fireworks and took joy in the pleasure of the veterans. Automobiles came all the way from Philadelphia and Baltimore, as well as from the small towns for fifty miles around. Colored People's Hair.
