JAYEI BEYOND THE "ALPS." ("Beyond the Alps lies Italy:"—Hannibal.) "Beyond the Alps lies Italy":— That which we vain would do or be Awaits behind this mount of pain That we must climb to reach our gain. Though now our feet be bleeding sore No sorrow shall molest us more When we have scaled this rugged height And reached that land of love and light Beyond the "Alps." "Beyond the Alps lies Italy":— Ah, could our aching eyes but see The beauty of that world afar Beyond our highest guiding star! We tread this trail of blood and tears But, well we know these cruel years Can leave no hurt upon the soul That will not heal at that blest goal Beyond the "Alps." "Beyond the Alps lies Italy":— Our happy home of Liberty; Our dearest dreams are all a bloom Beyond this dark and threatening doom. Here we shall mock Death's deepest grave And keep our sinking spirits brave; We shall not swoon in faith to-night, Tomorrow's sun is golden bright Beyond the "Alps." "Beyond the Alpa lies' Italy"— O God, we faint and fall! To Thee We pray, for—oh, the way is long!— Our heart is far too weak for song! Too weak, alas! Our breath is low! Raise us again and let us go A little further in our quest For that eternity of rest. Beyond the "Alpa!" Resigns from the American Bar Association. 6 Beacon St., Boston, July 8, '12 Frederick E. Wadhams, Esq. Treasurer American Bar, Ass'n. My Dear Sir: As I cannot respond in the usual form to your reminder of my annual ydu, you are entitled to know my reasons. The action of the Association at Milwaukee and the conduct of the Executive Committee which preceded it, in trying to expel the colored mem- bers in open disregard of the Consti- tution, and when this attempt fail- ed, in drawing the color-line, by ap- plication of the rag, against all other colored lawyers equally entitled to admission under the Constitution, dissolved my relations with the Asso- lation. Of the various offences involved in that proceeding, color prejudice, contemptible as that appears to me, is perhaps the least. Conduct of which the prevailing elements are cowardice, hypocrisy, fraud and force is not the conduct of gentlemen, or of such lawyers as I am accustomed to associate with though I make no protensions to superior virtue. This is not merely my own opinion of it. The public press recognized its true character, and made the Association deservedly an object of public ridicule and contempt. Would you or would Judge Dickinson, the putative father of the bastard resolution, like to see the specifications, or the press comments in that part of the country where the press is free, collated and published? I was invited to join in the remonstrance of ex-President Storey and other Massachusetts members, but regarded it as inadequate to the case. Apparently that faint note of dissent is not likely to be heard or heard of again, though the action of the Association is peculiarly an affront to Massachusetts which is responsible for two of the three colored members. Undoubtedly the action at Milwaukee will stand, as anybody who saw the riot there would expect. There is at least one Massachusetts member who takes the metamorphosed Association at its true value. A handful of Southern colorphobes, with the help of the usual subservient Northern majority, have captured it, and turned it into a sort of Bourbon club, to which professional character and standing is not a title to admission, the first qualification now being one unknown to the Constitution and having no relation to anything professional. I never came into any such compact as this. The Association is no longer a Bar Association in any proper sense. As the Association which I joined, it has ceased to exist, and I am relieved from paying it the formal compliment of resigning my membership. Very truly yours. A. E. PILLSBURY. Captain Lowry Gone. Capt. Madison Lovry of Petersburg died at his home in the country last Sunday morning at about 11 p.m. He was well-known and his business is generally regretted. The True Reformers Richmond, Va., July 21, 1913. Editor Richmond PLANET. City. Dear Sir.: Please allow us a space in your valuable paper to tell the entire world of the wonderful progress that has been made by the Grand Fountain, U. O. T. R. with Hon. Floyd Ross, as its leader. We have just closed a sixty days' membership campaign adding to the order 2,309 new members. Confidence is being restored throughout the country and the old line organization given to the American Negro in 1881 by Rev. William Washington Browne, which met its Waterloo in 1910 is coming back to its glory faster than we had expected. God is in it and this being a fact, it cannot fail. In 1881 William Washington Browne, a Christian man from Georgia, founded this organization and named it the Grand Fountain, U. O. T. R. In one of his declarations he declared that it was self-supporting and could not be broken up by the hands of man or men. This has been clearly demonstrated, because the stumbling blocks that the organization met in 1910 did not break it up. The entire world is aware of the fact as to who were the officials of this order up to September, 1910 and who were the new officials elected September, 1910. One month after the election of the officials, great trouble came to the order by these officials applying to the court for receivership of the Savings Bank of the Grand Fountain, August 22, 1911. W. R. Griffin, the little hero of the murder of the Savings Bank, was elected Grand Worthy Master and at once began to restore confidence among the people. After being in office for a short period of five months and twelve days, he was killed in a wreck on the Norfolk and Western Railroad, February 5, 1912. Confidence was being instilled in the hearts of the American people both white and colored throughout the country, and then Floyd Rosas, the tall scymore from Missouri, who had been placed on the Board of Directors of the order February 22, 1911 under protest was elected to the office of Vice-President and Deputy General by the Grand Fountain August 22, 1911, was selected to the office of Grand Master by the Heavenly Master February 6, 1912 and finally elected Grand Master by the Grand Fountain September 24, 1912. Since that time the organization has made wonderful progress, having collected $280,000: added to its mem bership 30,000 members; paid in death claims $130,000; organized 160 new fountains; reinstated 80 old fountains and restored confidence throughout the country. This is a marvelous record made by the Grand Worthy Master, Floyd Ross, and is encouraging enough for every unbenefited True Reformer to return to the fold and help bear the burden that was caused by the former Grand Officers. The entire world was told in 1910 that the Grand Fountain could not live, but this has been proven to be untrue. If Griffin and Ross could have gotten hold of the organization before the bank was placed in the hands of Receivers and the $450,000 worth of real estate transferred they might have had an easy sail, but in spite of this, they have saved the organization without the bank and with out the $450,000 worth of real estate. This transfer no doubt was done for the protection of depositors of the bank, but unfortunate for them the property had been heavily mortgaged prior to this transfer by the officials who were in charge of affairs. This is plain enough for a blind man to see. Ministers throughout the country are returning to the order and rendering valuable assistance to Grand Master, Floyd Ross, in his glorious efforts to build up our race. The Grand Fountain, U. O. T. R. was planted in 1881 in the capital of the old confederacy, Richmond, Va. by William Washington Browne, God the Father, life Son and Holy Ghost was in the order and it will be impossible for any set of men or women to break it up. Anything that God is in will remain, as He has said. "What I have joined together, no man can put asunder." This is the marriage vow between God and in dividuals or whatever object it may be. Sunday afternoon, July 20th, 1913 Richmond Division of the Grand Fountain, U. O. T. R. had its Annual Saron premached at the Sharon Baptist Church at the corner of Leigh and First streets. The church was packed with members and friends. Much interest was manifested in this meeting. The rostrum was filled with ministers from different meetings of the country. Grand Master, Floyd Rosemond a report showing that the O organization for the first 19 days in July 1913 had collected $7,000, paid on death claims $2,100, paid on salaries $2,000 and organized 10 subaries dinate fountains in the states of West Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania together with old Virginia, the home of the Grand Fountain. Next was the report of Mrs. B. G. Cousins, secretary of Richmond Division, who reported that Richmond Division alone in the past twelve months added over 1,000 members, collected over $8,000 in United States Money and had 3,000 benefited members connected with Richmond Division. $546.00 was paid in death claims HON. FLOY Grand Worthy Master, Gr at the church and each of the ben enciaries expressed themselves as being well pleased with the success of the order and of receiving their claims. Too much credit cannot be given to the loyal men and women who remembered their obligations of years ago and for the loyal stand and assistance that they have given to Grand Master Floyd Ross in his work of redemption and rehabilitation of the Grand Fountain. While many who had been on the pay roll for years fell out and used every precaution to break the organization up, but they should have had sense enough to know that they could not break up the work that God had planted through William Washington Browne. Grand Master Ross, to our judgment is a safe leader. He leads with kindness backed up with the law and no man or woman who has the race at heart can refuse to follow him. The various newspapers throughout the country in their editorials as you will notice from the Reformer dated July 19th, wilt bear out this statement. The joining fee has been reduced from $4.60 to $2.60 in order to give the outsiders a chance. The 33rd Annual Session of the Grand Fountain will convene Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the 23d, 24th and 25th of September, 1913. Every Fountain in the Brotherhood is allowed to send three delegates, said delegates must be benefited in the subordinate fountain and class department. We hope that old Virginia will have at least 500 delegates and the other states' 400, making a total of 900 delegates. The organization is climbing the ladder of success rapidly and its members are coming back faster than ever and in general the order is building on a solid foundation. In every mail Grand Master Floyd Rosa is receiving letters of congratulation on his success and the Grand Fountain is receiving letters of encouragement from professional and business men of our race and the white race. There is no such a thing as the Grand Fountain will be saved for she is already saved. We believe that every colored man and woman who loves the race will pay no attention to the freckers of the order, but will enlist in the army and help carry the work on to success. Christ said that men and women are his disciples as long as they continue in his word, but woe will become of those who forget Christ. The Bible plainly states that "men and women shall reap what they sow," Those who sow bad seed shall reap corruption. "When Grand Master Rosa took charge of affairs, he found $193,000 owed for death claims. The savings Bank of the Grand Fountain, the oldest Negro bank in America had been placed in the hands of Receivers October 25, 1910. He also found that $450,000 worth of real estate of the Grand Fountain, had been transferred to the Receivers and that the membership of the Grand Fountain had fallen from 50,000 to about 5,000. Confidence had been lost and old men and women 70 and 80 years of age, some of them blind and deaf, had been stricken with paralysis and died and were embolized by undertakers and placed into the ground, because of their money lost in the bank. You can judge from this whether the seed was good or bad. Our text is "Your sins will find you out." The saving of the Grand LOYD ROSS, Grand Fountain, U. O. T. R. Fountain is an evidence that these statements are true. With best wishes, we beg to remain. Respectfully yours Maurice Rousseille, James W. Poe, J. C. Stephenson, W. H. Roots, Virginia H. W.

Paris, July 21.—Jack Johnson the colored pugilist, appeared in the revue at the Folles. Burgers to night to fill in the gap caused by the absence of Anna Held. Miss Held has gone to England. Yesterday she was injured in an automobile accident. Johnson threw a medicine ball about and boxed four exhibition rounds. The fighter announced that $5,000 had been deposited at the box office for a man who would stand up against him for ten rounds. The theatre was crowded, but few Americans were present. Johnson got a hearty welcome. Johnson, according to popular report, is to receive $1,200 a night, which is probably a good investment for the management. He will remain for the cloven nights until the theatre closes, when he will make a tour of the provinces. Johnson wore an American flag around his waist, which will need considerable reduction in size before he can go into a sorrowful ring battle. His white wife was one of the keenest spectators from a stage box until the final scene, when she joined the fighter on the stage. She wore a white evening dress and a straw hat. The couple did a turkey trot for a few minutes, and the audience seemed to enjoy this more than Johnson's previous exhibitions. There were some isolated hisses heard during the dancing, but they were nothing when compared to the applause which greeted the performance. Its success seemed to be great est with the women in the audience. Baltic California Oregon Idaho (Martinaburgh, W. Va.; Pioneer Press) It is Brigadier General John Mitchell, Jr., and the army of Pythianis which he commanded at Newport News, Virginia during the recent annual meet there, was a handsome body of men. Their behavior reflected great credit upon their commander, themselves and the race, and showed conclusively that John Mitchell, the noted banker and editor, is a military genius, and a disciplinarian who is beloved and honored by the men under his command. If we can get a second, we will say three cheers for John Mitchell, world figure, and if we don't well do it anyway. Guest at Hotel Dale.

(Denver, Colorado Stateman) The barring of Negroes and Japanese from bathing in the lakes at Washington Park and Berkeley lake by the Park Board has brought about a vigorous protest by the Japanese, and while the Negroes have made no great demonstration in the matter, it is said that they, as American citizens and who pay taxes for the maintenance of such public places, will demand of the board why the Constitution is abridged in their case—"taxation without representation." It has been less than a month ago that we were deprived of such privileges from the public bath house, where we were allowed certain days of the week to ourselves. Is it not 'high time that we, an American 'citizens' and taxpayers should call a halt on such unjust discriminations? As long as we allow such discriminating orders to go unnoticed, it will be no long while before other discriminating orders will be heaped upon us. The Afro-American Protective Association, the People's Sunday Alliance and in fact, every organised Negro society in Denver should rise in a solid phalanx against all such discriminations.

NATIONAL IDEAL BENEFIT SOCIETY The First Anniversary of the National Ideal Benefit Society A Grand Success—A Great Gala Day Answing the Members of the Society. On Sunday, July 20th, the National Ideal Benefit Society held its first anniversary at the Second Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. Z. D. Lewis, pastor. Promptly at 3 o'clock, a great throng of female members of the organization assembled in the lecture room of this beautiful church and awaited the arrival of the male members, who marched in a body from their hall, 527 N. First St. to the church, arriving there at 3:30 sharp. The line of march was marshaled by Bros. Alex. Hines and Albert Logan, with the Supreme Master, A. W. Holmes and his corps of officers bringing up the rear. The female and male members marched into the main auditorium of this magnificent and spacious church lead by the Executive Officers and members of the Board of Directors while the sweet music pealed forth from the grand organ. Mr. Thomas L. Beverly, Deputy of Richmond District, presided. After devotional exercises by the pastor, prayer was offered by Mr. John S. Powell, President of the Young Men's Christian Association, of this city and Right Herald of the Supreme Lodge. The remarks by Mr. S. W. Johnson, Supreme Secretary on "Some of the Accomplishments of the Society, were very interesting and instructive, giving a graphic sketch of the Society from its origin 12 months ago up to the present. The original poem as rendered by Mr. F. L. Bryant, was very much enjoyed by all, Mr. Bryant, who is one of the Directors of this Society has won for himself quite a fyme as a poet. Among the numerous poems written by himself is, "The Ideal," which is quite a favorite among the members of the Ideal Society. Just here, Mrs. M. E. Holmes should have appeared on the program to deliver an address, but having been called out of the city Sunday morning to Newport News to fill an important engagement for the Society, she could not be present. The next on program was a short but able address delivered by Supreme Master, A. W. Holmes. He was at his beat on this occasion. In his usual style and manner he told of the wonderful growth of the organization in this, the first year of its existence. Among the many things he said were: "In Richmond alone there had been organized 31 lodges numbering from 25 to 150 members each, and many other numbers in the adjacent counties and other sections of the state and other states. He also stated that the organization has had 12 deaths and that all claims have been paid up to date. The Supreme Master gave many encouraging statements which were very helpful to all members and friends present. His advice, especially to the young men along the line of thrift, economy and industry, was very impressive. His illustrations during his discourse are said by many to be some of the best ever heard, from public rostrum along fraternal lines. It is the object of this Society to meet promptly all of its obligations, and in doing this, there is nothing that we can expect for the Society but success. He concluded his remarks by introducing the speaker of the evening, Roy, Dr. Z. D. Lewis pastor of the Church. Dr. Lewis pastor of the Church. Dr. Lewis took for his text, 1st Samuel, 7th chapter and 12th verse: "Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying Hitherto hath the Lord helped us." His sermon was a great one. It was unanimously decided by all present that it was one of the ablest sermons ever listened to. Dr. Lewis is noted throughout this city and country for his eloquence as a great gospel preacher. Words of encouragement and wholesome advice coming from the heart of this servant of God, will forever linger in the minds and hearts of the members of the National Ideal Benefit Society and others who were present. To sum it all in a few words, the sermon was a gem. The solo work rendered by the great basso singer, Mr. S. L. Johnson the sweet contralto voice of Mrs. Carrie Coleman Hawkins, the charm ing, thrilling soprano voice of Mrs. Ida. Glover Deanne, and Mrs. Rosa Hicks, one of the new stars of the city, captivated the audience. Other music rendered by the choir for the occasion, was heavenly to the ear to listen to such sweet strains from this large chorus of well trained singers. Dr. J. E. Jones, in a few bedding remarks, presented a token of appreciation in the form of a purse to Dr. Z. D. Lewis, complimentary of the National Ideal Benefit Society. Mrs. M. R. Johnson, in a few, well chosen words, asked for the offering for the church which amounted to over $22. She was assisted by Meadnesams Lucy E. C. Scott, Lizzie G. Brown and Mr. Joseph Charity, who also made some timely remarks. After a hearty vote of thanks to the pastor for his splendid sermon, the church, for the use of same and to all who took part on the program thus closed a very successful first anniversary of the National Ideal Benefit Society.

SATURDAY.....JULY 20, 1013 Colored folks can help the race by helping themselves. Laziness is an abomination and quareltability a curse. If we do not trust ourselves, how can we expect other folios to trust us? Now comes the information that the colored folks who need bathing most are to be deeded access to the beach at Atlantic City, N. J. Mr. George H. Walls, who owns the only bath house on the beach for colored people is said to be in a legal tilt with the owner of the property and is in danger of losing his lease on the same. These white folks are discriminating against us on the land and they are now barring us from the water. There will certainly be a reaction and God will bring all things right in His own time. THE NEW YORK SITUATION. The reports of the disagreements now existing between members of the Emancipation Proclamation Committee which has the disbursement of the twenty-five thousand dollars appropriated by New York state is emphasized by the announcement that Chairman Robert N. Wood has been notified by Gov. Sulier that he is greatly displeased and disappointed over the slip-shod way the business affairs of the Commission have been conducted. He deemed it necessary to go so far as to threaten with removal the members of the Commission unless his orders are obeyed. This means that patience has ceased to be a virtue. It is indeed unfortunate that such a condition of affairs should obtain among the colored people of that state. We hope that this caustic rebuke may produce results and that the colored people of the great Empire State may not continue to be the object of ridicule among the people of the country at large. MR. BRYAN AND HIS CRITICS. Hon. William Jennings Bryan seems to be dealing with a most embarrassing situation from the wrong angle. After announcing that one thousand dollars per month are insufficient to support him and his family, he proceeds to increase his income at the manifest expense of the government instead of reducing his living expenses, to the slight inconvenience of himself and those dependent upon him for support. It will appear to the average citizen, legislator, member of Congress, and United States Senator, Governor and the like that (£33.15) thirty-three dollars and fifteen cents per day including Sundays and holidays is "pretty good" pay. He was quoted by the telegraphic reports as follows: Mountain Lake Park, Md., July 17 Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan delivered his lecture, "The Making of a Man" before an audience of 2,000 persons at the Chauantaqun here today. The Secretary in his address made no reference to recent criticism of him for devoting a part of his time to the Chauantaqun platform, other than to say at the opening that he was not worried by criticism which came in the life of a man in politics, and that he always gladly answered his critics. Subsequent to his lecture, however, when asked if I 12,000 was not sufficient to maintain his family, would he advocate an increase, Mr. Bryan replied that he would not. The salary, he said, was sufficient to meet all expenses when these are confined to the home and official life. This, however, was not true in his case, for the reason that there were certain fixed charges that must be met. "These charges," he said, "with my living expenses and expenses incident to my position, exceed my salary." Asked whether his farm did not yield an income the Secretary replied it was a liability and not an asset. yield an income the Secretary replied it was a liability and not an asset. Continuing, he said: "When a man leaves his home to take office he must must certain expenses he cannot avoid. Every man in public life knows I am not delivering lectures with the view of adding to my store. I must keep intact whatever money I have accumulated for my old age and my family. I cannot expect to be a broad-winner when the infirmities of age overtake me. The public will suffer no injury. I will always be in touch with the National Capital and my engagements are such they may be canceled at a moment's notice. Col. Bryan was introduced at the Chautauqua by Col. John T. McGraw, Democratic national committeeman from West Virginia, as "the greatest statesman since Gladstone." Further than to say that Mr. Bryan was paid a guarantee of $250 for his appearance at Mountain Lake, the Rev. Dr. Rex, superintendent of the Chautauqua refused to discuss the financial end of the lecture. It was however, authoritatively stated that Mr. Bryan was to receive, besides the $250 guaranteed, one-half of the receipts above $500, and the association was to meet all expenses. Supt. Rex, said: "It was a most profitable day. We are well satisfied and would be glad to have Mr. Bryan for a return date." Several delegations were on hand from different points to engage Mr. Bryan to lecture but he turned a deaf ear to all. Mr. Bryan refused to permit the selling of tickets at the gate. It may be though that there is method in Mr. Bryan's "madness" and he is taking this means of acquaintng the country with the fact that in order to properly reward and satisfy him it will be necessary to recite for him a position paying in excess of forty thousand dollars per year. An accommodating public should take the hint and assure him of a nomination and an election as President of, the United States three years hence. He would then receive ($25,000) seventy-five thousand dollars per year with ($25,000) twenty-five thousand dollars per year extra for traveling expenses. Mr. Bryan evidently realizes or believes that he should sit at "the head of the table" with Hon. Woodrow Wilson in his cabinet. Judging by his language, this change would insure his retirement from the lecture course and guarantee all of his time and services to the government. Our personal experience has been though that a person who will not render faithful service on $5.00 per week after having agreed to do so, will not render faithful service on $25.00 per week. The "milk in the cocoanut" is that Mr. Bryan knows that he should be discharging the duties of President of the United States and drawing the salary, and he is certainly advising the American public that a difference of ($63,000) sixty-three thousand dollars per annum in his financial accounts and those of Hon. Woodrow Wilson is not appreciated by him. After all, Mr. Bryan may have a just cause for his grievance and his expressions of dissatisfaction. - Subscribe to The Richmond PLANET. $1.16 per year. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. A Milk Diet There are beauty and health in every glass of milk. It is a sovereign remedy for many ills. For the thin girl a glass at midtime is not enough to give her the beautiful arms and shoulders she desires, but glass after glass must be taken until three, four or even six quarters are the daily portion. The more nervous and run down the condition the more milk is needed. It should always be slipped slowly and never drunk when in a dried or overheated condition. HEALTH·HINT FOR TODAY. A healthy person should always eat fruit in the raw state. For those who are ill or delicate the fruit should be stewed. The acids which are sometimes present in very large quantities in apples—especially the sour varieties—render them rather injurious for the stomach, and the sweet and juicy varieties are more easily digested. Apples are also beneficial in diabetes and are more digestible when stewed. The juice of the apple is a very beneficial drink. In general, pears are not easily digested, as they contain hard, grity and indigestible granules. They are more digestible by cooking. Apricots and peaches should only be eaten when perfectly ripe, in which manner they are easily digested. Among peaches the free stone varieties are best digested. The cling stones are not to be recommended for weak stomach. Fresh raw plums, prunes and green gages are well digested when they are ripe and tender. However, plums and prunes, even when taken in large quantities, are more beautiful than green gages. Cherries and grapes, too, are two of the most beneficial fruits, and both may be freely partaken of in season. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. The Value of Chocolate. Chocolate is one of the most wholesome of foods. But it should be reserved for eating after meals. Nothing can be worse than chocolate eaten before a meal, for then it ruins appetite. Chocolate should consist of equal parts of sugar and cocoa. When it contains, as most of that sold in the cheap candy stores does, more sugar than cocoa, it loses much of its real food value. Chocolate and cocoa are almost as stimulating as coffee and tea, but have none of the injurious effects upon the nervous system which are for many people the great drawback to these drinks. Chocolate is best when made overnight and allowed to stand. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Stopping Noisebleed. There are two little arteries which supply the whole face with blood, one on each side. These branch off from the main arteries on each side of the windpipe and, running up toward the eyes, pass over the outside of the jawbone, about two-thirds of the way back from the chin to the angle of the jaw, under the ear. Now, suppose your nose bleeds by the right nostril, with the end of the forefinger feel along the outer edge of the right jaw until you feel the beating of the artery directly under your finger, the same as the pulse in your wrist; then press the finger hard upon it, thus getting the little follow in a tight place between your finger and the jawbone. The result will be that not a drop of blood goes into that side of the face, while the pressure continues; hence the nose instantly stops bleeding for want of blood to flow, and the ruptured vessels in the nose probably by that time will contract, so that when you let the blood into them they will not bleed. Bleeding from a cut or wound anywhere about the face may be stopped in the same way. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. The summer days are here. Take good care of your leeches. Keep it clean and sweet all the time. A good way to dolels is to wash it, pay, once a week with boiling water containing a little soda. Also be careful to keep it free from stale and decaying foods of every kind. Scrupulous cleanliness is the only way to avoid the danger of ptomaleus (possonging and even the lesser intestinal disorders that are caused by eating sour, stale and partially decayed foods.

"Yes," replied Smith. "I went down to have a look at it. And, my word, there were several mighty narrow escapes there too." "Excuse me!" cried Brown excitedly.

Specially, or full particular, send, write or call CRISIS NEAR IN MEXICAN AFFAIRS Administration, Firm Against Recognition, is Awaiting the Arrival of Ambassador Wilson. Alarming reports of an approaching crisis in Mexico have been received in Washington by high government officials. It was authoritatively stated upon unimpoachable authority that the developments of the coming two weeks are regarded as fraught with tremendous importance to the Huerta government. So delicate is the information they contain that an intimation of the advice became known only with the stipulation that it was unofficial and that it should not be represented as being the view of any official of the United States government. Authoritative publication of the nature of the advices, it was said, probably would precipitate the very crisis the dispatches forecast. The means by which the predicted events were to be brought to pass or what was to follow were not blinded at in the reports, which, so far, have found no reflection in military or naval preparations by the United States. Moanmble the administration is marking time, on the Mexican problem; pending the arrival of Ambassador Wilson from Mexico City. He is expected by Thursday or Friday. President Wilson finds himself in the same state of doubt as to actual conditions in the rebellion-torn republting at the facts, he summoned the ting as the facts, he summoned the American ambassador to the capital. He realizes that even the Americans scattered throughout Mexico individually are unable to get a comprehensive view of the situation in the whole country, their judgment being affected, by purely local events. From the Mexican capital come reports that have turned every engagement into a federal victory, and so far the administration has heard absolutely nothing, except through press reports, from the Constitutional side of the case. This has led to an intimation that information of reliable character, would be welcomed by the administration. At the request of Secretary Bryan Surgion General Blue, of the public health service, has ordered quarantine officers at Havana and Key West to expedite the passage of Ambassador Wilson. Official advises have been received by the state department from the American embassy in Mexico City that the projected pro-Japanese demonstrations in that capital would not take place. This news is regarded as of great importance, as it indicates a realization on the part of the Huerta government that those demonstrations might have an effect, so far as the United States is concerned, different from that intended. President Wilson, Secretary Bryan and other high officers of the administration are convinced that much of the anti-American sentiment in Mexico City is artificial. A government official said that the president, after careful inquiry, had learned enough to convince him that a group of persons in the Mexican capital was responsible for demonstrations that had taken place and that those affairs were not due to any popular feeling. LABOREB KILLS FOREMAN Says Vision of Satan Prompted Him to Cut Off Man's Head. Thomas Hutchins, forty-five years old, foreman for the Spring Rock Water company, was killed by a laborer in Plymouth township, near Wilkes-Barre, Pa. The water company is laying a line of water pipes there, and employs a large number of laborers. Hutchins was in a stooping position, arranging some levels, when Mike Brehls came up from behind and struck him a violent blow on the head with a shovel. Hutchins was rendered unconscious. The laborer then took a hatchet from Hutchins' hand and hit him a powerful blow on the neck, severing the head. Brehls then fled to his boarding house. He returned in a short time dressed, in his best clothes. His few countrymen obtained a rope and would have hanged him to a tree had not the American workmen interfered. It is not known that the foreman and the laborer had ahy quarrel. One report has it, that the man went suddenly insane. Brehis was locked up. He declared that the devil prompted him to do the deed and that he saw his satanic majesty crunching on the shoulders of his victim.

Many of the invitations were unanswered and the dinner was abandoned. Mr. Grant's own children refuse to recognize the bride, and the only one who appeared for the dinner was the youngest son, who is an undergraduate at Harvard. Mr. and Mrs. Grant left on the steamer Yale for San Francisco, from where they will sail on a tour of Australia, South Africa and South America. Mr. Grant said before his departure that he would probably never return to San Diego.

Trapped by flames in the second floor or an antiquated convict cage, thirty-five negro prisoners were burned to death at the Oakley convict farm, twenty miles from Jackson, Miss. While the flames rapidly ate away the only stairway leading to the second floor, the prisoners frantically toro at the heavy bars that covered the fall windows, but to no avail. Their screams brought guards and other prison attachés, but the flames drove back members of the rescue party each time they attempted to liberate the negroes who one by one fell back into the flames and perished. Everything was in the fire's favor. The building was constructed ten years ago of lumber (taken from a discarded penitentiary); there was no fire fighting apparatus at the farm, and the first floor of the building was filled with inflammable material. Farmers living nearby hurried to the fail to help the fire fighters, but they were no assistance, as the fire burned too rapidly. The convicts all were worked in the cotton fields of the state farm and were housed in the "cage", at night. Among them were some desperate criminals serving long sentences.

Consideration of the Mexican situation took much of the time of President Wilson and his cabinet, at the regular session. Secretary Bryan had a long conference with the president before the other members arrived. Although reports are coming in from various sources the administration is looking forward to first-hand information from Ambassador Wilson, on his way from Mexico City. It was again authoritatively said that the attitude o the administration still was unchanged. It was reiterated that the cabinet unanimously was in accord with the president in waiting a return to stable conditions before extending recognition. Several officials said the cabinet had from the beginning been of the opinion that the changing conditions of Mexican politics warranted the "hands off" policy for some time to come. Secretary Bryan authorized the assertion that he would cancel any lecture engagement which would conflict with the conferences next week he and the president will have with Ambassador Wilson. Some of the members of the cabinet were not inclined to think any action would be taken following Ambassador Thomas' conference, and reiterated the belief that until elections held in Mexico and an appearance of peace was in sight formal recognition probably would be withheld. Woman Bitten by Snake in Bed. When Mrs. Buscher, of Branchville, N. J., with a cry of pain awakened her husband during the night, he told her to "target it and go to sleep again." She did so, but shortly afterward started again and was wide awake, with a stinging sensation in her knee. The first pain had been in her feet. Buscher lighted a lamp and found that a copperhead snake two feet long had bitten his wrist twice. Buscher killed the snake and sent for Dr. Edward A. Ayers, of Branchville, who said that the bites would not prove fatal. Buscher believes that the snake had been in the house some time and that while the bed was open it crawled into a fold of the sheet. --- Crackamen Get $25,000 Four safes in the jewelry manufacturing establishments of Rosenberg & Daniel, 203, 205 and 207 Grand street, and 97 Elizabeth street, New York, were blown open by robbers, who corraled $25,000. One of the safes contained jewelry valued at $50,000, but the robbers were scared away before they got into the compartment holding the treasure.

Just Because Some of the Actors Made a Heaty Exit. They were going on a round the world tour with the opera "Dorothy" and were billed at Malta. This was no stop company by any means. The tenors were plump, the baritones well fed and the sopranos and contralto becoming beautiful. The outfit carried also a pack of adipose foxhounds, which is essential to this particular show. When the ship arrived at Malta the port officials promptly put the bounds in quarantine for twelve hours, whereupon the manager went behind the smokestack and anathematized Malta, Goza, Comino and the rest of the neighborhood. "Darothy" couldn't be played without a pack of cannies. He then went ashore and explained the dilemma to the local manager. The latter hade him cheer up, for Tommy Somebody-or-other would supply the deficiency all right. Tommy was accordingly interviewed and rose to the occasion. He would gladly supply twenty-seven dogs. That evening the theater was packed. Tommy was in the front row of the orchestra to see that the dogs behaved themselves. The opera went A WITH A BOUND THREE DOORS WERE OVER THE ORCHIDES magnificently till when approaching the finale of act 1 Dorothy brought on the dogs in leashes. To all appearances Dorothy was going hunting with a pack that included greyhounds, whippets, spaniels, fox terriers, bull terriers, dachshunds, Dandie Dinmonts, two great Danes and even a Pekingese Pom. And when their eyes rested on Tommy in the front row there manifestly wasn't a stuffed dog among them. Tommy was no delighted that he thought he would go out and celebrate. He stooped down, drew his hat from underneath the seat and started. Twenty-seven pairs of canine eyes duly noted the action, and twenty-seven pairs of canine lungs sent up a concerted bowl of surprise that their master should go without them. With a bound those dogs were over the orchestra, putting the leader, the violinists, the first and second trombones and the big drum out of action, and after Tommy. The actors pulled the rest of the show through somehow, but the local critic had the effrontery to say the following morning, that the hunting tableau was "as cold of realism as the wooden animals in a child's Noah's ark."—New York Tribune.

"I know it. I know it," acknowledged the old gentleman sadly. "I've tried to induce the members of the first families of Commonwealth avenue to handle the brooms, but they won't do it." A Blaat From the Cyclone. Ex-Senator Chauceau Depew has lots of fun with folks when he officiates as chairman or toastmaster at a banquet. But he met his uncle when he introduced a speaker guest, a Minnesota college president, as "the oratorical cyclone of the west." The Minnesota was there with the goods. A tall, dignified man, he rose solemnly, glared at Depew through his spectacles and said: "Coming from the greatest known authority on wind, that cystone characterization is the highest compliment I could possibly receive."—New York World. ALONG THE ROAD. I walked a mile with Pleasure. She chattered all the way. But left me none the wiser. For all she had to say. I walked a mile with Sorrow. And neer a word said she— But, oh, the things I learned from her When Sorrow walked with me! —Robert Browning Hamilton. THE NEED OF A NAVY. We see before our eyes at this moment a great and populous empire, now a great and populous republic—China, which has suffered partial dismemberment purely because she has permitted herself to become impatient in war, so that she has no navy and not an adequate army. In consequence Russia, Japan, Germany, England and France now hold Chinese provinces, some of them themselves the size of empires. If the American people deliberately chose to follow in Chinese footsteps, doubtless some decades would pass before we should suffer to the extent of China, but long before that time had come we should have had to abandon all pretense of upholding the Monroe doctrine, we should have had to abandon Panama and Alaska and every insular possession, and we should have had to surrender all right to say what immigrants shall and what immigrants shall not be admitted to our country and the terms upon which they shall come here and become citizens or hold land. Let it be understood that every man who votes to stop building up the navy or stop fortifying the canal is voting to put us in a position where we cannot even resent insult, let alone ourselves insulting others with impunity. Let us remember that the policy of uniting the unbrilled tongues and the unready hand is a policy of criminal folly. The most dangerous of all positions for any nation is to be opulent, aggressive and unarmed. — Theodore Roosevelt. In the street you'll find him, On the corner--anywhere Boasting he's still hanging on To his winter underwear. —Philadelphia Press. Matrimony will not always reform a man, but it will make him more cautious—New York American. Some women love men with a past. Some love them with a future, too. But the man with a present is always sure To be looked on with kindly view. —New York Sun. Medical Officer (at maneuvers)—What did you do first of all? Ambulance Man—Gave 'im some brandy, sir. Ambulance Man (preemptily)—Promise I'm some—Punch Uppatriotic Nothing on earth is so valuable as a Human Mind. If a discerned worth polishing at great trouble and cost, much value is in the mind of a boy or young man youth all the polishing that the subject can do. The best education is not too good for a preschool pupil. You would choose a peer physician to give a few hours when health is in danger. And who would choose an inferior school to give a few dollars when a better school will increase the strength of character and of mind for life and prepare one for a larger usement? ```markdown ``` Virginia Union University.

BILL TO PREVENT STRIKE A LAW Congress Rushes Measure to Prevent R. R. Walkout New Act Signed by the President Provides For Either Three or Six Arbitrators. The Newlands bill, revising the Bardman law to provide arbitration of wage disputes in a manner satisfactory to railroads and their employees, passed the house without a roll call. The bill was then hurried to the senate, which was waiting to pass it for President Wilson's signature. The senate passed the bill without a roll call and it was hurriedly prepared for transmission to the White House. Later the bill reached the White House and soon afterward this statement was issued: "The president signed the Newlands act as soon as it reached the White House and announced through his secretary; Mr. Tumulty, that he would proceed as soon as possible, consistent with the importance of the appointments, to the selection of the commissioners of mediation as provided in the act." Chittman Clayton had no difficulty in securing unanimous consent to take up the Newlands bill immediately after the house had finished opening business. "Investment of this law will avert the greatest industrial struggle that has been threatened in our history" said he. The senate took the bill up at once for passage. No objection was made to Senator Newlands' request for immediate consideration. One amendment aims to make impossible any construction that would authorize courts by injunction or otherwise to compel an employee to labor. The other was to provide details for filing the awards with district courts. In its perfected form the new law would furnish machinery expected to open up the possibilities of arbitration and federal mediation. The new act would establish the United States board of mediation and conciliation to consist of a federal commissioner of mediation and consultation and two other officials of the government, to be designated by the president. This board would be appealed to to intervene on a railroad labor dispute by either party and would first use its most efforts by mediation and conciliation. lion to bring' the disputants to an agreement. Failure would be followed by an attempt on the part of the board to "induce the parties to submit their controversy to arbitration," and in case arbitration was agreed to special boards of either three or six mediators would be chosen by the railroads and the employees. Arbitration under the new law would be undertaken only after a definite agreement had been made, by both parties to abide by the decision of the arbitration board for a fixed period. The argument made by the trainmen's and conductors' representatives for an independent tribunal to settle labor disputes also became known. Mr. Garretson, head of the Order of Railway Conductors, said the demand for an independent commission had been begun before the department of labor was created and therefore his association meant no reflection on the secretary of labor in opposing the proposal to have the mediation board under the jurisdiction of any government department. The railroad presidents, it was said, had little to say at the White House conference, but acquiesced in the desire for an independent board. HEALTH HINTS FOR TODAY The regular use of the toothbrush is necessary not only to remove the acid incrustations that eat holes in the teeth, but also to sweep away the germs of many diseases. These find the necks of the teeth an ideal nesting place. They multiply a millionfold in a few hours unless washed away, then they go down the throat, enter the lungs, the stomach, the eustachian tubes and the passages behind the nose. There they cause consumption, diphtheria, carne, catarrh, bronchitis, tonsillitis; in fact, it would be difficult to say with certainty what diseases may not arise from the germs that have grown upon the teeth. It is now considered almost certain that many cases of appendicitis have this as their origin. Hence there is no process of the toilet so important as that of brushing the teeth. It Often Comes. In a Scotch Sunday school the lady teacher, after speaking on the subject of death, asked, "And what comes after death?" Instantly a bright little girl called out eagerly, "A fight about the money."

The sufferer must be somewhat careful in his use of sweet foods, meats and alcohol. He should also avoid wearing damp clothing, staying out too long in his garden digging or of remaining for too long a period in a bending or stooping posture when planting, etc. If he be he wise he will always wear a warm woolen undershirt next to his skin during the winter season and until the warm days of summer are in full away. Then he may safely don a thinner woolen garment without fear of taking a nasty pain in the back. It is far more sensible to take a little extra care to avoid lumbago and other back troubles than to be careless and, as the result of such carelessness, to be compelled to suffer as so many people do. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Suggestions For Sleep. The bedroom should be well ventilated, a window being kept open all night, if that can be managed without a draft playing upon the sleeper. Where there is a chance of drafts ventilation may be safely accomplished by inserting a board six inches broad so as to raise the lower ash and fill the gap completely. Air then enters between the hashes in an upward direction and becomes diffused in a harmless fashion. About this bed, bedclothes and pillow the sufferer from insomnia must not dogmatize, but try experiments. Sometimes an extra high pillow does the trick. The covering should not be excessive, but the feet must be kept warm—by an elderdroom across them, a hot bottle or bed socks—since chilly extremities are fatal to sleep. The same latitude must be allowed in regard to supper. Sometimes no supper is best, sometimes a light supper rather more than an hour before retiring, sometimes a glass of hot milk or hot gruel when one is actually in bed. A short, smart walk before bedtime enables many folks to slip into dreamland. For others a hot footbath is better. Still more obstinate cases will yield to the soothing effect of a complete hot bath, with or without some mustard.

Poisoned cabbage is attributed as the cause of the death of Mrs. Minnie Berger, the wife of Erwin Berger, of Pine Grove, Pa., the latter having had a narrow escape. The vegetable had been frozen and is supposed to have become infected from that source. The husband was first taken violently ill, but he recovered in a short time. The wife ate more heartily than her husband and her entire system was poisoned. Physicians were unable to do anything for her and she gradually sank until she died. AGENTS FOR THE PLANET.

"PUFF" AND ALL WAS OVER Fifty Injured Were Rushed to Hospital After Binghamton Holocaust and Many Will Die. A wisp of smoke and a spurt of flame swept up the Wainway leading to the second floor of a four-story brick building at 17 Wall street, Binghamton, N.Y., and twenty minutes later twenty-five lives had been lost and fifty persons had been injured, many of whom will not recover. The building was the factory of the Binghamton clothing company, for merely the Freeman Overall company, employing 125 girls. There were heartrending scenes when several girls clinging to fire escapes were swept by sheets of flame or jumped from the factory windows. Exactly how many were pinned in side was hard to determine in the panic. E J Lawrence, bookkeeper of the company, said that he was working in the office when the first alarm was sounded. The flames were under the front stairway. There was also a rear stairway and the fire escapes at the south side of the building. Most of the women were employed in the machine operating room on the fourth floor. They made no attempt to hurry from the building at first, timing the alarm was a fire drill. Messengers were rung through the building to drive the women out. "Just then," said Lawrence, "the whole building burst into flames. I was of the ordinary factory construction, with timber supports and brick walls. But it went up like powder—a puff and all was over. When the flames rushed up the front stairway it was awful. "The women were in a panic in an instant. They rushed to the fire encapses and many of them leaped from the windows. "I had 125 names on my pay roll but some of the employees were gone on vacation. The lists are all inside the burned factory. I didn't have time to put them away or close the safe. It is impossible for the present to call the roll or get an accurate line on those who are missing." Most of the injured, including those who had been overcome with smoke or fright, were carried into the Knickelborger bocker, a few hundred feet away. Here all the available physical clans in the city were gathered. The injured girls were wrapped in blankets, given first aid and were then rushed to the city hospitals as rapidly as possible. Meanwhile the firemen had been stirring to stop the advance of the flames. Their efforts were gradually successful, but every building on the west side of Water street, between Spice alley and Henry street, was more or less damaged. During the fire two explosions occurred. Pieces of iron and brick were blown through the windows of the Automatic Music company's factory nearby. Twelve girls were rushed to the hospital within half an hour after the fire started. They were nearly all so badly burned that identification was impossible. Ruth Prouty, aged seventeen years, whose back is broken, was the only one of the twelve who was conscious. The physicians said that she will die She jumped from a fourth-story window a few minutes after the fire had broken out. Two sisters of Miss Prouty, who were also employed in the factory, failed to escape. As the front of the building fell in a human body was plucked from the stairway by a daring fireman and brought out to Wall street. He laid his burden upon the ground and covered it with a blanket. It was the body of a girl and was burned beyond recognition. The fire spread to the postoffice, the rear of which was burned off, and to the buildings of the McKaller Drug company, Simon O'Neill, the Binghamton Motor Car company garage and Christ church. The property loss will be between $100,000 and $200,000. Killed on His First Visit to Big City Paying his first visit to a big city Lewis Knaster came from his home in Pottstown, and was killed by an auto truck in Philadelphia. Knaster, who was fifty years old, left the train at one of the busiest corners in the city. Becoming confused in the middle of the street, he was run down by the truck while dodging a horse-drawn vehicle. Plenty of Practice: "I met your friend Dubley today." "Yes! I haven't seen him for a long time. I suppose he stutters as badly as ever." "Oh, no! He's quite an adept at it now."-Pilladelphia Press. NEGROES OPTOSE SEPARATE PARKS Fear That Grounds. Would Become Meeting Place of Rougher Elements. The proposal to establish one or more parks for the exclusive use of the colored population received a set back yesterday when a delegation of representative Negroes, headed by Rev. William Stokes, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, called upon Mayor Almelle to protest against the project. Attempts to solve the open-air problem by providing separate parks for the colored people, according to the delegation, would end in failure because they would become the meeting grounds of the rougher elements. The better classes, the men thought, would stay away, leaving the parks to become new recruiting grounds for already well-established cells. The conference yesterday followed by appointment after an interchange of letters on the question between the Mayor and Rev. Stokes. The latter requested an opportunity to be heard on the plan. Mayor Muslie suggested at the conclusion of the meeting that the delegation place its case before the Council Committee on Public Utilities which has the colored pars question under consideration. Besides the Baptist minister the delegation included J. J. Carter, John T. Taylor, N. B. Brown and E. Payne. The protest was regarded with pride yesterday by white advocates or separate park facilities. These were included to minimize the danger of monopoly by the tougher elements and thought that with the proper police regulation parks reserved for colored people exclusively could be made as decent and law-abiding as those provided for the exclusive use of the white population - Times. Dispatch. Causing Run On A Bank Oregon Evening Journal July 27 The virtue of a bar is as sensitive toandalic the cool name of a woman and the other care should be avoided by all persons in the county not to impair the security of one in the other. The nature of the law was directed from the New Haven Suffolk Bank the week preceding as one of the strongest banks in Connecticut. In an all day run on that bank, care was required remark. Just before the annual closing hour the effects in front of the bank were attained with no doubt Benjamin Stale a local lawyer made what he said was a voluntary statement to the crowd to the effect that he was convinced that the bank was sound. He had he was one of the largest depositors, and that during the day he had offered to make a deposit of $50,000 but the offer was refused by the bank officials saying they had ample funds on hand. Mr. State said further "The rumor affecting the bank started in an unfortunate manner, as the result of overzealousness on the part of solicitors seeking deposits for a bank that has started a savings department. Its solicitors stated that national banks are more solid than New Haven savings banks, and the public cut off the letter "N" and construed the statement to mean that the New Haven Savings Bank was not solid. His remarks apparently had considerable effect, for the crocod, most of whom were foreigners soon dispersed. The bank was ready to pay every depositor, and proved itself strong enough to defy any run on it. Fortunately the laws of Virginia require statements of the standing of its banks at short periods and simulaneously with the reports required by the Federal Government of national banks, and under the plan of periodical inspection there is little danger of any bank in Virginia encoaching upon its capital and reserves. Failures of banks in Virginia are rare, and under the present system nearly impossible. Notwithstanding the protective laws and the splendid integrity of Virginia banks there is no way to prevent loose talking, and a run on the strongest institution may be created by a rumor handed around, creating a wrong impression. Persons cannot be too careful in their statements about the conditions of a bank. JACK JOHNSON FINED 81 25. Drove Auto in London Without License Number. London, July 22.—Jack Johnson the colored pugilist, was fired five shillings ($1.25) and costs by Alderman Sir William Trolor at the Guidhall police court to-day for automobiling on the Victoria Embankment on July 12 without a license plate. Levi. Johnson's secretary pleaded guilty, on behalf of the pugilist, who, is in Paris. He explained that the license plate had been left on another car, which had broken down. Resolutions of Condolence from the A. and M. College Faculty. Whereas it has pleased an all-wise and benevolent Providence to remove from among us Mrs. Annie Dudley, the mother of our friend and President, Doctor J. B. Dudley, who departed this life at the home of her distinguished son on the evening of July 16, 1913 in the eighty seventh year of her age, and Whereas she was a woman of a remarkable personality, a true friend, a loving mother and a consistent Christian, and Whereas the influence of her life has been far reaching and helpful in its effects upon those who have been associated with her as well as through the life and labors of the children whom she has given to the world, therefore Be It Resolved That while we, the members of the A. and M. College Faculty, bow in humble submission to the will of Him who is too wise to err and too good to be unkind, we would hereby signify our gratitude for the example of her life and our sympathy for the bereaved and sense of personal loss in her taking away. Resolved Further. That a page in the minute book of the Faculty be inscribed to her memory and, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family and to the public press. Respectfully submitted.

(Clayland, Ohio, Garrett) (Cleveland, Ohio, Gazette.) recent Writer-force commencement ad dress, "The Noachian Curse," Editor John Mitchell of the Richmond, Va.) PLANET, pertinently remarks: "He (Rishop Smith) advocates the need of a new paper of national scope that will be to our race what the London Times is to the English people. He forgets though that the fun damental 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 at $1 and $1.50 per year, will not support and read a paper at $8.50 per year. "If the leaders, the ministers of the people, the lawyers, the physicians, the dentists, the professors and instructors of the country, the businessmen declare their financial inability, to take over one weekly journal in their homes and pay for the name, how can the rank and file be expected to do it". "Tell it, brother; tell it" The truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. There is not one publication in this country that our people are supporting as they should, and what is more, there never has been one. We have not better papers, weekly or otherwise, simply because enough of our people are not yet able to appreciate the need and value of monthly, weekly or daily news papers that plead their cause, defend and encourage them, and fight their battles. Our papers are just what our people make them. Leesburg Locals The funeral of Mr. Joseph Alsop took place at the M. E. Church of which he was a member. Rev. Dotson officiated.
