"I am distressed for thee, my brother: very pleasant hast thou been unto me; thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women." Why not the living song of Bowling as did David about Jonathan? We will sing, we do mourn for a great man in Israel has fallen. He was not only leader for fourteen years in the Virginia Baptist State Convention, but a loving comrade, brave, heroic, Christ-like in spirit and demeanor. He loved his race, he gave his life for his denomination but he lived not on flowery beds of ease. Because of the position which he took in the distinctive Negro Baptist work of the State of Virginia, he suffered, he was burdened, but all of it was borne in the spirit of the lowly Nazarene. Bowling was "a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall: the archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him and hated him; but his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob." Dute St. Baptist. "I am falling d shore now—my day have been true, true and loyal to the chielet the flag fall late now. We'll meet dom's Headquarter wife, children, mot and friends. R. H. BOWLING. Dr. Bowling was a man as Norfolk well all movements, society and fighting dangerous Pokey Barnes. It was who raised over $33 cash and brought it to turned it over for the When the Nation's convention met in Austin large number of lady about to be subjected humiliation on the re Bowling paid $45.00 his own pocket, thus a For twenty-four years Dr. Bowling was pastor of the great Bute St. Baptist Church of Norfolk. He wee there when only twenty-four years old, having pastored for a short space of time in Steelton, Pa., Harrisonburg and Waynesboro, Va. His work in Norfolk was unparalleled by any other Negro Baptist Church in the world. Under his leadership thousands of people were added to the church by baptism—in one revival more than a thousand people were converted. The church was a large contributor to the causes of missions, education and charity. Virginia Theological Seminary and College received frequently contributions ranging from fifty to five hundred ($500.00) dollars under the inspiration of that noble and God-gifted leader. Seven years ago the most unique, beautiful and finest Negro church in the country was completed under his pastorate. There was a debt of $71 000.00. God spared him to see the last cent of it paid off, and so, he left a great church building with a membership of 2300, well disciplined, thoroughly organized, progressive and missionary in spirit. Dr. Bowling for twenty-four years was one of the leading spirits of the Virginia Baptist State Convention. Fourteen years ago in Lexington, Va. he was elected its President and remained in office until his death. Had he lived fourteen years longer he would have been President. No one coveted his position, all delighted to follow him. He was indeed a leader in Zion. There were many and mighty men who father the work of the Virginia Baptist State Convention in its new birth at Lexington, great and good men were they. Many of them have crossed the flood and many of them are yet living. There were four who constituted what is commonly known as "The Big Four,"—Gregory W. Hayes, B. F. Fox R. H. Bowling, W. F. Graham. Three are gone, one still lives, but he lives to carry the flag on until he is called up higher, and then he hopes and prays that a Joshua will be ready to take the flag, for the crossing over the Jordan into the promised land of real success. Bowling is gone, but he lived to see his soul's desire partially fulfilled: for the great school in Lynchburg is a success, it is presided over by one of its own graduates. R. C. Woods: the Trustee Board is composed largely of the graduates and has for its President, James H. Burks one of the number. The President of the Virginia Baptist State Convention, A. A. Galvin, the Corresponding Secretary, T. H. White are all graduates from Virginia Theological Seminary and College. So may we not feel that Dr. Bowling was possessed somewhat of the spirit of good old Slimeon when he blessed God, and said, "Lord now letest thou thy servant depart in peace according to thy word; for mine eyes have seen thy salvation which thou hast prepared before the face of all people." Doe anyone doubt such a supposition? If so, hear the last written statement which he left on earth: Bute St. Baptist, Norfolk, Va. "I am falling down to the shore now--my days are few. I have been true, true to my God and loyal to the church. I now let the flag fall into other hands now. We'll meet in the Kingdom's Headquarters--Goodbye, wife, children, mother, relatives and friends. "R. H. BOWLING, Norfolk, Va." Dr. Bowling was a public spirited man as Norfolk well knows, for in all movements, social, commercial and otherwise for the uplift of the citizens his voice was heard, he lent a helping hand. Some years ago when the Editor of the Richmond PLANET was making great sacrifices and fighting dangerous battles to save Pokey Barnes, it was R. H. Bowling who raised over $300.00 in hard cash and brought it to Richmond and turned it over for the cause. When the National Baptist Convention met in Austin, Texas and a large number of lady delegates were about to be subjected to Jim Crow humiliation on the return trip, Dr. Bowling paid $45.00 cash out of his own pocket, thus securing a chair car for the entire route from New Orleans to Virginia. Oftimes when destitute preachers came to his church, father than burden the church, he would take five and ten dollars at a time out of his own pocket and give it to them: He was a great man—charitable to a fault. He was no ordinary preacher, he was a scholar who lived among his books, he was a poet and wrote excellent verses and lovely hymns; he abounded in the richest resources of versatile, classic book lore. The English language flowed from his tongue in musical rhythm, he was profound in the thought of master authorities—for he read with a relish the best books of scientists, historians, theologians, poets and philosophers. No one could sit under his voice when preaching or speaking without being charmed and captivated with the man's wonderful powers of thought, imagery and progressive portrayal. The saddest part about Dr. Bowling's departure was that he gave his life entirely for others. "Not that he meant to do so, but he made the mis take of putting it off too long. He had hoped to put his family in good material circumstances after paying the debt of his great church, but at the age of forty-eight, he was called home. We are proud to say however that the great Bute St. Baptist Church will look after the debt that hangs over his home and provide for the four little children in some way. Dr. Bowling leaves seven children and a loving young widow; three of the children are by the last wife: His son, R. H. Bowling, Jr. graduated from Bucknell last May with high honors. He is a preacher of power and strength, romping one very much of his father. His grown daughter is a graduate of Flask University, his son of eighteen is still in school. The members of the old guard, the graduates of the school at Lynchburg, all of us will see to it that the work goes on. All is well with him. We hear his voice now—"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith; henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day." REV. DR. BOWLING DEAD AFTER LONG ILLNESS. The funeral of the late Dr. Richard H. Bowling, D. D., one of the country's best known Baptist diviner, whose death, after an illness lasting over several months occurred at his residence in Cumberland street, took place from the Bute Street Baptist Church at 2:00 P. M. last Tuesday afternoon and not since the funeral of Dr. William Lewis of St. Luke's Church, has such a concourse of people attended a funeral. Dr. Bowling, as a result of overwork is connection with the building and responsibilities incurred by the building of his church, one of the finest of colored churches in the entire country, was stricken with a mental and physical breakdown and died. and he rallied to such an extent as to hold out hope, for his ultimate recovery. The attack was a sovere one and he never fully recovered. On Saturday last he grew worse and his family was summoned to his bedside. He died shortly after nightfall. Dr. Bowling was an inveterate worker and his personality was reflected in the handsome edifice which many think was the primary cause of his death. For twenty-three years he gave his best efforts to his people and churah. He was a strong race man, fearless in his fights for truth and justice. From nine in the morning until two o'clock, his body lay in state at the church and crowds filled every available space long before the hour set for the services. The program of exercises was very elaborate some of the well known ministers in this and other States officiating. The funeral tributes were magnificent, attesting the love and esteem in which he was held. Dr. Bowling was connected with many organizations of the Baptists, being at the time of his demise president of the Virginia Colored Baptist Convention, and late president of the Y. M. C. A. Among the prominent ministers present were: Dr. W. F. Graham, Philadelphia; Rev. Dr. Bernard Tyrell, Lynchburg; Rev. A. A. Galvell, Danville; Rev. Dr. Z. D. Lewis, Richmond; Rev. Dr. C. S. Brown, Winton, N. C.; Rev. J. H. Hughes and many others from the Tidewater section. Rev. Dr. Graham delivered the funeral sermon, followed by eulogies from most of those present. The deceased is survived by a window and several children by this and a former marriage, among whom is R. H. Bowling, who graduated recently with high honors from Bucknell University. The deceased was a native of Hampton, where he has a number of relatives. The interment took place at Calvary Cemetery, where hundreds went to pay their last respects to a man whose word is a credit and inspiration to his race.—Norfolk, Va. Journal and Guide. Resolutions.

Address 8 1234567890 In another column The News Leader today prints an article in which it is strongly intimated that the squabble between those opposed to the establishment of a separate park in Jackson, ward for Negroes, and those in favor of the project, is likely to result in no park whatever for the colored people of this city and the exclusion of Negroes from the present parks of the city. Isn't this a pleasant prospect for the Negro race in a community which has always manifested a desire to better the race's conditions and would now provide the colored people with their own recreation grounds? Does not this discord among the members of the colored population evidence a wondrous spirit of co-operation with the white people, who are their friends and earnestly wish to help them by giving them a park all their own, where they can get fresh air and exercise and enjoy themselves? The statement that a separate parcel for Negroes would mean more crime is just as absurd and baseless as is the allegation that this park project is for the purpose of further segregating the Negro from the white race in Richmond. Jackson ward is the logical place for a park for Negroes, just as Chimborazo heights is the logical location for a park for the people of the east end. The charge that more crime would be found after the establishment of this separate park cannot be proved any more than can be the statement that this plan is in furtherance of a segregation scheme. The News Leader has a word of advice for the Negroes in Richmond who have the best interests of their race at heart: Coase this senseless squabbling, get together and compromise the differences between the opponents, and let the city do what thinks best for the bestment of conditions under which the colored people of Richmond live. After reading the above editorial, Editor John Mitchell, Jr. conferred with his associates and with their consent on last Sunday morning forwarded the following letter: "Richmond, Va., August 2, 1913. Rev. Wm. H. Stokes, Ph. D. Richmond, Va. "My Dear Elder: "I have read the excellent advice given in the columns of the Richmond Va. News-Leader this afternoon, relative to the public park controversy and advising us to compromise our differences. "In keeping with this,—what seems to me, to be timely and sensible advice. I now propose that the respective committees from the two factions meet in conference, Monday night, August 4, 1913 at the Mechanics Savings Bank building with a view to harmonizing our differences and presenting a unified front at the meeting of the Council committee having charge of this matter. "I have never seen any reason why personal feeling and anger should enter into the discussion of this subject, when both sides claim to be laboring for the best interests of the race with which we are identified. "With best wishes and awaiting your further pleasure, I am. "Very truly yours. "JOHN MITCHELL, JR." He learned that Rev. Dr. Stokes was out of the city and up to the hour of going to press no reply had been received. The "Stokes committee" failed to appear before the Committee on Grounds and Buildings at the City Hall last Tuesday night, although Col. Giles B. Jackson, Attorney J. Thomas Howin, Capt. B. H. Peyton were present. It was ascertained that the subcommittee made a unanimous report in favor of a public park in the North side to improve the living conditions of the colored people. The H. A. and S. C. The Hercules Athletic and Social Club held its annual "Smoker" Inst Tuesday night at their hall on Petersburg Pike and "belleve me" there was some fun galore. Fully fifty young men gathered at this occasion to appease their appetites and to quench their thirst. Minor amusements were indulged in until the appearance of "Raskal Boots," the Southside king of all fun-makers. His side-splitting jokes and the many song parodies kept the house in an unproar for fully an hour. Well the table was heavily laden. "gee don't mention it." The Excelsior Orchestra won unstinted praise on this occasion and the sweet music is still ringing in Hercules ears. "Nofeed." Mr. Junius Fowkes is President; Mr. Floyd Richman, Secretary and Mr. Arthur TIMES-DISPATCH WOULD NOT PUBLISH A CORRECTION OF ITS ARTICLE. Editor. PLANET--The following correspondence shows the unfairness of the white press towards colored people when they are opposing any plan that the white press advocates. You know that none of the gentlemen that went to the Mayor's office endorsed or approved any plan for a separate or exclusive park for colored people, but, on the contrary they made it clear that they wanted a public park established in their section. The Times-Dispatch prides itself on its fairness to colored people--this shows it: Editor, TimesDispatch - I have delayed sending, for several reasons, this letter of correction of the erroneous statement published by your paper, as well as the other daily papers, concerning the conference of the colored citizens with the Mayor on last Wednesday. I know that none of the daily papers care to publish in full the proceedings of any colored gathering so that the public can get a correct view of their attitude on such matters - that space is usually reserved to parade the doings of the criminal element of our race; then I knew The Richmond PLANET would carry a complete report of the conference in its issue of the 2nd inst and I could refer the interested public to that publication, and again I realize that a statement in your Sunday's paper will reach a larger number of people than separate letters to each of the daily papers. All of the daily papers stated that the colored citizens endorsed the separate and exclusive park for colored people, this is just what they did not do—each man that spoke told the Mayor that he was in favor of a PUBLIC PARK located in or near the colored section on the northside, but emphasized the fact that they were opposed to separate parks for colored, people anywhere, and if locating the proposed park in our midst was to be the means of segregating or restricting the colored people now or in the future to the use of that park alone, then they did not want it and the colored people as a whole would oppose such restrictions. Although the question of a site was not before the conference, I took advantage of the occasion to criticize the locations mentioned in the press. I told the Mayor that due to the overcrowded condition of the colored section, to use any of the Limited space in our midst for park purposes would be a crime, and that the dump piles or hillside opposite a cemetery was no place for a park. I suggested a site beyond the Va. Union University (colored) or Brook Road or the site known as Miller's Field on the edge of Barton Heights near the colored school. While I regret the notoriety given this matter by these incorrect reports of our actions, yet, I cannot but think good will come of it; it will teach our people not to believe every- thing they see published in the paper- about each other.

CEPHAS, Agent, Corner 2nd and Letch Streets. Our Living Conditions. To the Editor of The Richmond PLANET. S.r.: While some men are praised for their deeds, others for their say ing, you are deserving both for your straight forward, manly stand upon all questions, which concern the Negro. Your issue of July 1428 contained an editorial entitled, "A Vital Question," states some cold, hard truth concerning our sanitary condition that ought not to be neglected. The great danger to health which lies in accumulated ash-dumps, collection of tin-cans and decayed fruits and vegetables, etc. ought to be preached and repraached from every pulpit, school room and lodge room, until the people become thoroughly awakened to the fact that they should take some care for their health. This should not only be confined to the cities, but even in the rural districts the people should be taught the danger to health, to use the vernacular, of building hen house, cow pen and stable too near to their dwellings, and permitting ponds or stagnant water to remain. The common house fly, which has ever been fitted by nature to seek all kinds of filth is most dangerous to the public health since he is the first one to creep or crawl upon our choicest dishes without ever bathing. Before proceeding further, it will be interesting to note the broad humanitarian spirit, which actuated you to write upon so vital a question by referring to your own words, which are beyond comparison, splendid and deserving the most careful thought of all: "We hope that the question asked may be promptly answered. We people, composing the colored race should propound the same question to ourselves our numerous societies and organizations should create a fund, not only to investigate these conditions but to help our own people who are suffering and dying in our own midst. The white people can do much for us but we can do more for ourselves." so vital a question as you have propounded sooner or later in more forms than one is bound to crown your efforts with success, because a good cause always moves and has its well-being, for this has been substantiated from time immemorial, but in so doing must surmount obstacles that at first seem almost impossible, but when carefully considered and taken into the council of thought, melt away even as the mist does before the rising sun.

Sir: The unjust discrimination now going on at Washington, D. C. is causing much political and social unrest among the American colored people. Especially does this refer to those of the race in the government service who are fearing that the continuous segregation orders will put the race back many years in progress. Political conditions regarding the rights of the colored people have taken a decided change since the 4th of March, 1913, which the colored men who worked for Wilson's election in 1912, must admit. INSULTS TO THE RACE For these conditions of insult to the race by these discriminations, the colored people are indebted to Mr. William Howard Taft, whose opinion concerning the treatment and recognition of the colored people decidedly entered to the whims and prejudices of the white South, who are now in power. The white South also must thank Mr. Theodore Roosevelt for the power and opportunity they now enjoy to carry out their cherished wish to administer insult to the Negro people by snobbery and segregation. For instead of a progressive platform, had Mr. Roosevelt gone before the people upon the old party principles and clung to the old party lines, which gave the country peace and the greatest known prosperity, the present administration would not now be all prevalent. He left the old party lines taking as he thought a majority, which proved a minority when the count was completed. BLAMES COLORED DEMOCRATS. TOO. But, while in a sense the Democratic party may feel grateful to Mr. Roosevelt for the opportunity, they now have to humiliate the Negro people, they are also indebted to a large number of Negroes, who aided by voice and pen the election of the Baltimore ticket. The colored Democrats thought they saw in Mr. Wilson, according to his smoothly written letters concerning the race question, an element of liberality and fairness and would receive from him the same civil treatment as was accorded the race by Mr. Cleveland. But the treatment no far received and the condition of things, regarding the civil rights of the Negro people at Washington and elsewhere, give a very different impression. THE SOUTH IN THE SADDLE. For indeed the election of Mr. Wilson, added by dissatisfied colored men has put the South firmly in the saddle. The old time spirit of slave days has been revived, working toward that period of time where cringing and subordination to the white man will be the only condition of the Negro people. This seems to be the paramount object of Tillman, Vardaman, Heflin and Blesso. These drawlers make a specialty of race antagonisms and are of the opinion that all of the educated colored men should be turned into Southern fields as plow-hands. For Vardaman says this question is beyond the importance of the tariff and the currency and overtops everything else. In his opinion the refined and educated of the colored race must be degraded and relegated to serfdom, bringing to an awful end their material and intellectual advancement. This is the endeavor of those Negro-hating statesmen, added to power by the votes of colored men. This is the ultimatum they offer toward solving the race problem, humiliation and discrimination are the things they now offer to the Negro an reward for his vote and support of the Baltimore ticket. ROBERT W. CARTDR. Magnolia, Mass, July 31. Mr. Tom Byrd 66 Years Old. Mr. Tom Byrd, the blind newspaper carrier, celebrated on last Tuesday, August 5, 1913, his 66th birthday. The day with him is always one of joy as he receives the numerous tokens and expressions of good will from his many friends. He is a noted figure on the streets of Richmond and the boys and girls men and women of both races are among his numberless friends. It is marvelous how he finds his way from one section of the city to the other with stick in, hand and bag on either shoulder. "Tom" to use the familiar term, was born of slave parents in Stafford County, eight miles below Fredericksburg, Va. August 5, 1847. He was sold to Andrew Ellis in Richmond Va. in 1863. His mother's name was Summer. Bird, father's name was Louis Byrd, his grandmother's name was Isis Blackwell and grandfather's name was Hammond. The Argyle Case A Novelization by J. W. McConaughy of the Successful New Play by Harriet Ford, Harvey J. O'Higgins and Detective William J. Burns, in Which Robert Hilliard Is Appearing. Copyright 1912 by Harper·A·America·Eastman James Argyle wealthy and eccentric is found shot dead in the library of his New York home. His only son, Bruce, an artist, and his wife, Miss Mary Marquis are subjected Asche Kayton, a detective of reputed called in. He is given quite chancely to expense and to turn down the offerer. The Pharoah, where Mr. Argyle's shot is opened Kayton and his assistant, Manning are arrive at the Archae museum. They investigate Fidley, the butler and search finger prints in the hope of finding a clue. The detectives find a woman's footprints on the library of the Mrs. Wash. Miss Marquis is a prisoner, tells Kayton that the girl's mother was a Mrs. (Nina) Marsh of San Francisco. Kayton leaves from the servants that Miss Marquis was aware and about the time the crime must have been committed. In the dead house a desk he had an unusually large counterfeit $300 bill Bruce Argyle comes in. He tells Katy ton of the events of the evening before the murder. It instantly be oblivious se- sence some one in the upper hall call fateful night. Miss Mazuret, pale and worn, enters. Miss Mazuret unwillingly tells Katy that she had heard angry words late in night and had thought that Brune and the father were quarting. She admits that she knew of the will being in her favor. Kawan telephoned Chelsea Whitley of the United States,祖母 services about the mysterious countess. Later he learns advertisement in the newspaper in the hope of leading Nil Marah. KAYTON sat examining the bill until Manning returned with the announcement that Mr. Hurley was coming. Kayton slipped the banknote into his pocket. "Let him in," he said. Mr. Hurley returned more largely patronizing than ever. "Well, how is the mystery getting along, Mr. Kayton?" he inquired, accepting a cigar the detective offered him and puffing it happily. Kayton pused, lighted match in hand, and looked up at him with a little smile of surprise. "Mystery!" he exclaimed. "Why there is no such thing as a mystery if you use a little common sense, Mr. Hurley. You know, in an affair of this sort, you're confronted by a long line of facts, and you pamper away until you break through somewhere." He lit his cigar and took a puff. "Mr. Hurley, when you first met Mr. Argyle—by the way, how did you meet Mr. Argyle?" Mr. Hurley carefully brushed the ashes off his cigar and examined the end of it critically. "Well, now Mr. Kayton, I'll tell you about that," he said slowly. "I had a western proposition in which I wanted to interest him and I went to his THE LORD'S PRAYER "Have you any record of a counterfeit $100 gold certificate?" cohen, and he proved to be a very ap- proachable man. I laid the matter before him in the usual way. He took it in, investigated it. Found it was what I had said it was, and we got together with it. I suppose that give- SYNOPSIS K "Trail Hurley!" him confidence in me. Are you through here?" he inquired as Knyton picked up his hat and slipped on a light overcoat. "Yes," replied the detective. "Call me up in the morning if I can be of any help to you," offered the lawyer, also making ready to leave. "I'll be in Pittsburgh," said Knyton briefly. "Oh! You are going away?" Mr. Hurley was interested. "Yes, for the day. My operatives have just rounded up a case there, and I've got to see the man and pull him across. Expect to take the night train back." "I'll see you the day after tomorrow, then," said the lawyer with a nod of farewell as he walked slowly out. "Yes, do!" said Knyton. The detective buttoned his overcoat, ran his eye about the room again and if to make sure he had overlooked nothing and then turned to his assistant with a belief command: "Joe, tell Hurley." Manning was not an easily surprised young man but now his jaw almost dropped with amazement. "What!" he exclaimed. "Hurley?" Kenton chewed his cigar, and an amused glum came to the corners of his eyes as he surveyed his assistant. "Haven't you been listening to him?" he asked. "No, not particularly." Manning admitted. "Well, you should have" comment of his chief grimly "That's your business. He's way off from normal. When a man says 'Now I'll tell you about that' it's one safe bet he's lying Truth him." Two seconds after the lawyer had an everlastable but ever present shadow. Contrary to the copy book wisdom on the subject, swift action is not a habit. Persons who habitually hurry are merely fussy. They seldom accomplish much beyond an appearance of activity which is deciving to the universal, and they also succeed in getting real workmen nervous and frightened. Such people are worse than unness in a crisis. It is the even tempered man who conserves his energy and never hurries until it is absolutely necessary, who delivers the swift thunderbolts of action that dazzle the world. And Kayton's specialty was conserving and concentrating his energies. When he returned from Pittsburgh he did not know who had killed Mr. Argyle. He strongly suspected that Mr. Hutley knew more than he was telling, and his plans had been laid with a view, to eliminating the lawyer or fastening guilt upon him. He did not know which would result. He was not guessing. He had not made up his mind that the lawyer was in the mesh of the true crime. So he had to make certain just where this figure stood in the game before he could proceed along new lines with certainty. He was expected at his office the second morning after his departure for Pittsburgh, and the newspapers confirmed the report of his return. They confirmed it by telling his seven column headlines what he had done in Pittsburgh. Leischmann, the manager, and Nash, a veteran aid of the great detective, who was allowed all sorts of privileges, were awaiting him in the private office and discussing the news from Pittsburgh when Kayton arrived. The chief carried a little grip and also some few signs of two successive nights in a sleeping car, but he seemed as calmly energized as ever. "Hello, boys," he said, with a nod. "Morning, governor," responded his aids. Kayton stripped off overcoat and gloves, bing his hat and turned to his desk, rubbing his hands to get the morning chill out of the fingers. "Is Cortwright out there?" he inquired without further formality. "Yes." "Send him in." Lechmann, disappeared and there came presently into the office a man of about forty who might have been cashier of a reliable bank. He was well dressed. His face was round and honest. His eyes were bright and his speech and pose were direct and straightforward. Good morning, governor, he said. "Well, we've run out all the inside servants," said Cortwright, "and the cook and the chauffer. Nothing ```markdown ``` "We know Hurley's back better than his face." "We know Hurley's back better than his face." wrong there at all. We've found the policeman that was on the beat. He has nothing. We looked up some of the discharged servants—a coachman Nothing to that." "All right. That's all," he nodded, and Cortwright withdrew. Kayton picked up the receiver of a desk phone. "Sand Joe in here," he ordered, and presently Manning walked in with a broad, red scratch like a birthmark on his chuck. Kayton grinned at him. "Hello, Joe. Marked for identification?" Manning slowly raised both hands to his face—one to feel tenderly of the wound on his cheek and the other to carry to his teeth the apple he was eating. "Picked that up trailing Hurley," he mumbled cheerfully, his mouth full of fruit. "A fresh cop tried to follow me and I fell down a the escape." "How about Hurley?" "Mugging shook his head dolefully. "Nothing doing?" he said. "Haven't been able to lime him up with anything. We know Hurley's back better than his face. We take him out in the morning and trap him around from one office to another. He don't go into court. Nothing busy in his office but his telephone. We take him home and put him to bed at night-do everything but hear his prayers." "Well, don't lose him. How about that take personal?" "It's planted in the morning paper." Manning shook one out of his overcoat pocket and opened it and gazed at it. "Sure you got it right?" demanded his chief. "Information wanted regarding "N. M." Beneficiliary Argyle estate. Tolworthy & Mead, St. Paul building," read Manning. "Did the papers bite?" inquired Kayton. "Well, one of the evening papers played it up yesterday. Their men beat it to Tolworthy's, and when they couldn't find out anything they chucked in some more mystery about a new murder clew and a missing heir to the Argyle estate." Kayton nodded happily. "Well, if she doesn't see the personal that stuff ought to reach her." The desk phone rang, and the attendant at the outer door informed him that Mr. Hurley was asking for Mr. Kayton. The detective's eyes gleamed, and he made a gesture to Manning. "Hurley? Send him right in. Here, Joe, take these telegrams—he handed a number of yellow sheets—"they're all mixed up with a half dozen aliases for each counterteller. Pick out the information and make me a sort of record of past performances. Sit over there at the desk—"he pointed to one in a corner and added meaningly—"and keep an ear this way for Hurley." Manning took off his coat and hat and placed himself as ordered. Kayton took out a box of cigars, lit one and leaned back in his chair, pulling contentedly as the massive form of the lawyer pushed through the door. "I just wanted to speak to you for a moment. Mr. Kayton," said the lawyer pleasantly, advancing to the desk and shaking hands. "Glad to see you any time. Mr. Hurley," returned Kayton cordially, offering the box of cigars. "I expect to go a good deal of assistance from you." "I don't know about that," lingered Mr. Hurley, seating a cigar availing himself of the lighted mates the detective held out. "But, of course I'll be glad to do anything I can." Kayton nodded, and his visitor took a chair, facing him. "By the way," resumed Mr. Hurley, puffing with a smoker's appreciation of a treat. "In line with your thesis, that it was an old servant who was blackmailing. It occurred to me that they used to have a coachman who may have a grievance because the chauffeur supplanted him." The detective was improved, "Do you remember his name?" he inquired picking up a pencil. "No, but I suppose the family would." Subscribe to The Highland Plate T. Only $1.99 per year in subscription "Thank you, I'll look him up." I am sure I will sit up. "I saw the Tolworthy & Mead per sonal in the morning paper," remarked Hurley, "and I thought it might be a new clew, but they say not. They referred me to you." "Yes," Kayron nodded frankly. "They consulted me. You see, it appears that in Mr. Argyle's will, drawn up by the old head of the firm, there was a legacy to a Miss Nallie Marsh. There's no knowledge now in that office of Nellie Marsh. The information evidently rested only with old Mr. Tolworthy and Mr. Argyle. The firm asked me how to locate her, thinking there might be some scandal." "Yes, yes!" chlidged in Mr. Hurley, betraying a nasty concealed angeress. "And for that reason," continued Kayron, apparently without notice: the other's manner, "we used only the infinals. Did you ever hear Mr. Argyle refer to a Miss Marsh?" Mr. Hurley stroked his chin. "Well, now, I'll tell you about that!" he said reflectively. "When we were discussing the new will we didn't go to the lesser legates?" "Oh, it's too large a sum to have been simply a bequest to an old servant!" protested Kayton. "It runs well up in the thousands." "Well, in that case," said Mr. Hurley without interest. "The person will probably be expecting to be remanded by Mr. Argyle and show up." "Oh, yes," agreed Kayton. "The whole thing may be perfectly innocent, but to avoid anything unpleasant for the family the lawyers thought they had better be on the safe side by the way, Mr. Hurley, you understand, of course, that this is strictly confidential?" "Oh, of course...of course," exclaimed the lawyer hastily. The telephone bell rang, and as Kayton turned to the instrument Mr. Hurley rose. "Well, I won't take up any more of your time," he said. "Going so soon? Well, come in again, Mr. Hurley," invited the detective. "Thank you, I will," declared the lawyer, "I shall be interested to hear if there's any new development in the case." "I'll keep you posted!" Kayton assured him, and with a nod Mr. Hurley withdrew. "Ask Mr. Colt to come right in," said Kayton into the phone. CHAPTER IX "Is it a counterfeit?" MR. COLT proved to be burglar and of a generous and wefel appearance. He was over six feet high and tall that in circumference. He was made forty, dressed well, and his face beamed good nature. "Hello, Colt!" exclaimed Kayton with real cordiality as he entered. "Hello, you old plutocrat!" bellowed the newcomer, with an expansive gaze as he rolled to the desk. He gazed about him appreciatively. "You've go an office here like a bloated samurier. What are you tryin' to do with that $100 bill?" "Is it a counterfeit?" parried Kayton. "A dandy!" declared Mr. Colt enthilistically, as he sank into the chair lately vacated by Mr. Hurley, the chair fairly shrinking its protests. "It's such a mighty good counterfeit, it's better than the real! You've got the neck of a drumken Indian. Go out on a footy murder case and stub your toe on a thing like this!" Mr. Cott shook his massive head mountily over the injustice of the world. "Let me tell you—it's a bomb under the treasury! We've wired Washington and they've got a scare out all over the country. If you turn up the man who made the bill you can have anything Uncle Sam can give you! I never have any look like that." Kayton took the bill from him and examined it critically. He had been ```markdown ``` His Face Beamed Good Nature. something of an expert in his earlier days and he could appreciate art. "How do you suppose they ever pun it together?" he murmured wonderingly. "Well, it's a photographic process that's a cliché!" declared Colt. "No hand ever touched that plate. Look at the lath work." "And look at the ink!" exclaimed Karton. "Why," replied Kayton modestly, "some of these silk fibers struck me as being off color." "Say," exclaimed the fattest man in the federal government, with a laugh that was half mirth and half nervous awe. "this sort of thing is going to knock the currency into a cocked bat! Pretty soon you won't be able to take money from a man unless he gives you a Masonic grip with it. And you mean to tell me that you found that bill in a millionaire's desk?" "I admit it's impossible," smiled Kayton, "but I did." Colt stared incredulously. "That a man in Angle's position would mix himself up with a band of criminals who'd blackmail him for the rest of his life?" Kayton nodded and shrugged his shoulders. "He may have been non compo- mentis--just plain coyy," he suggest- ed musingly, holding up the bill. "Tal- k about mysteries, Colt! This is the only real mystery I ever met." "Have you got any clew?" Kayton leaned back. "Well, I'm playing a long shot," he returned eva- sively. "Couldn't any of you experts down at the office give a wild gues- whose work this was?" Colt shook his head gleamly. "No There isn't a counterfeiter on the books could do it. The man that got that together has been quietly experi- menting for years." Kayton nodded again and called to Manning to hand him the list that he had been compiling. The chief glanced over it. "How about Brockton?" he inquired looking up at the government expert Colt shook his head slightly. "He hasn't been out long enough." "Could old man Rich have done it?" "Oh, no! He's too feeble. It may be a newcomer, you know." Kayton dropped the list on the desk. "Well, I've got a kind of lend that it's one of the Frisco bunch that was rounded up fifteen years ago," he declared. "What do you mean? Inquired Colt with a business like interest that he usually concealed under his easy looking exterior. His exterior, by the way, was one of his strongest assets. The fat did not penetrate to his brain." "Joe, let me those Frisco wires." He glanced over the bundle of telegrams and went on. "There was a woman indicated—a Prisco woman—in the background of the Argyle murder case. She was supposed to be dead. I wired for information and found she'd been sent to prison on with a gang of counterfitters. Here it is." "Nellie Marsh sentenced to San Quentin for three years about time of reported death." And this one says: "N. M. left state expiration of sentence. No further record here." Now, you know, Colt, the man that made the plate for the Webster gang—his name is Kreisler—did some pretty crafty work, and he hasn't been board from since." Colt drew a very audible breath, and his big eyes gleamed. "That so," he declared. "My god! That bill hooked up with Argyle and Argyle with the woman and the woman with the Webster gang makes a noise like a lockstep, don't it? I swear you've certainly got the luck!" "I haven't got the woman or the man," returned Kajon grimly. "But you'd get em." ventured Colt, "even if you didn't have the whole United States secret service turned loose to help you." And with a hearty handshake he left the room. "Business of seeing the chief," he vouchsafed as he passed out. Kajon picked up the receiver of his desk phone. "Get me Tolworthy & Mead," he said into the mouthpiece and their glanced up at Manning, who had entered. "Joe, we've got all the rocks flying with that counterfeit, haven't we?" "Yes, I was just thinking," added the young man whimlessly, "that murder was hard on the Argyles, but it was a great, thing for the government." Kayton tried to look reproving, but he chose, and a voice on the wire saved his dignity. It was the younger, Mr. Tolworthy. He informed Kayton that the quarry had risen, to the lure of the fake "personal." Some ten minutes before a woman had called up the law office on the telephone and told Mr. Tolworthy that she was Nellie Marsh. He had referred her to Kayton, and Kayton might expect a call at any moment. There was a triumphant gleam in Kayton's eyes as he throw the receiver on to the book with a rush. "Joe," he commanded sharply, "tell the outer office if any woman comes from Tolworthy & Mead I want to see her right away." "N. M. heard from, governor?" asked Mainning eagerly. They exchanged glances. "Exactly," said Kayton. "He awallowed it—hook, line and sinker." Manager Leischmann stepped inside the office. "Miss Mazuret—to see you," he said. "Show her in," said Kayton, in matter of fact fashion, but in tones that hold such an undercurrent of angerness that they caused both Manning and the manager to glance at their chief curiously. Noy was their curiosity lessened when, a moment later, the young lady entered the room. For Kayton, a moment before the calm, collected man of action, seemed as embarrassed as a schoolboy in the girl's presence. "Good morning!" he exclaimed, with rather more animation than was his wont, as she advanced with outstretched hand. "Ah! How are you?" "Good morning," the girl returned, and, shook hands with him politely. Her manner was visibly constrained and he felt disproportionately hurt, when you consider that he was used to have people with constrained manners come into his office. He angrily assured himself that he was perfectly g case and to prove it inquired with some nervousness: "Did you have any trouble getting down here?" The girl took a seat, unbiddens, and Kayton swore at himself for forgetting the most natural politeness. But there was something in the girl's manner that was unmistakably forbidding. "No." she replied coldly, looking down at a glove which she had stripped off on entering. "There were some re- A. There Was a Triumphant Gleam In Kayton's Eyes. porters out in front, so I left by the servants' entrance on the side street. And, you see, I didn't wear mourning I was afraid it would attract attention." Kayton nodded sympathetically, and the girl looked up at him with a new expression. "Mr. Kayton," she said quietly, "didn't you promise me that you would not make public what I said about Bruce coming back that night?" In an instant Kayton understood her manner and drew a quick breath of relief. "No; I didn't promise you. Miss Mazuret, he replied as quietly, "but I didn't make it public." He was more than rewarded by theook that leaped to the girl's eyes and the manner with which she exclaimed, "Oh, I'm so glad! Because"—she hesitated and examined the glove again— "oh, because, you see, I trusted you, I believed in you! Then it was Bradie!" she declared, raising quickly as she noted with something skin to alarm a look that came into his eyes. "Yes; I suppose he gave it out himself," he agreed slowly as she scouted herself again. He drew closer to her and looked down until she felt that she had to look up. Then he said in tone of rather more sincerity than the occasion demanded: "Miss Mazurtez: If anything comes up again or if I do anything—that you don't understand please don't lose faith in me. There may be several things about this case that I'll never be able to explain to you. It's been bad enough for you to have been dragged in at all, and I want to save you all I can." "Oh." exclamel the girl softly A "Then it was Bruce!" she declared, gratefully. "you are so good to me! I don't know what I'd do without you!" Kayton caught his breath with a little gasp. "Don't try to do without me," he begged swiftly. "I'm only too glad"—He pulled himself up as the girl drew away ever so slightly. When he went on his voice was pleasant and all but impersonal—that of a safe friend. "You know," he explained, with a smile, "It's the most pleasant part of our work that we are usually able to help some one in trouble this way. We're different from the police detectives. They're paid by society to punish the criminals. We are retained to the victims of the criminal for protection. They are punishing the strangers—we are protecting the weak." "Oh, I didn't realize that!" exclaimed, Miss Miznnet, with feeling. "You love your work, don't you?" "Well, I'm like a doctor or a nurse," he replied, still smiling. "I go from case to case or from operation to operation, helping people and fighting the disease of crime, acid, like all diseases, when the patients are well." and they paid me they forget me." In spite of the rallery of the voice and words there was a subtinkle of bitterness, of loneliness, that went straight to the girl's sensitive heart. "Oh," she cried and impelively held out her hand, "I shall never forget you." Kayton took it in a gentle grasp and leaned forward. "I wish," he began earnestly and dropped the hand suddenly as the door clicked and Manning entered. "Governor, the lady from Tolworthy's is here," he announced without ceremony. Kayton, inwardly amused at what he imagined would be the state of his adoring disciples' mind if he even remotely guessed the character of the conference he had interrupted, nodded brightly. "Just a minute, Joe," he said. Then he turned again to the girl. "Miss Mazuret, this may be important," he said, opening a door that led into an inner office. "I want you to wait in the office here and be sure and not go until I see you." The girl murmured her willingness to obey his commands and passed in through the door, which he promptly closed after her. "Where's that deep inkwell, Joe?" Kayton demanded briskly as if he had never heard of a girl. "Have we any clean blotters?" Joe was instantly busy, and in a few moments Kayton was ready for the lady from Tolworthy's. [TO BE CONTINUED.] MEXICANS IN ACTION. Insurgents in Battle With Federals in Mountains. ```markdown ``` 1918, by American Press Association. This is the kind of warfare that is being carried on just across the border of the United States. Many bullets from the rifles of both sides of the fray fall on American soil and sometimes hit American citizens. It is to keep the belligerents on their own ground that Uncle Sam is making a small army along the Mexican border. $75,000 HARRIMAN GEMS ARE STOLEN Gems valued at $75,000, including a rope of pearls worth $60,000, were stolen from the home of C. C. Rumsey at Narrasageli Pier, R. I. Mrs. Rumsey was a daughter of the late E. H. Harriman. The pearls were given to Mrs. Rumsey by her mother and had a sentimental value far in excess of their intrinsic worth. Other jewels, according to a statement issued at the office of the Harriman estate, include the following: Ruby and pearl pendant, gold pin set with magnificent ruby solitaire, diagonal brooch, gold mesh bag. Only the contents of one room, that usually occupied by Mrs. Rumsey, were disturbed. How the thief entered the house, whether Mrs. Rumsey was at home at the time and other details of the robbers were lacking. Mr. Togstoff, secretary of the late E. H. Harriman, who made the announcement, said private detectives were working on the case and would handle it independently of the police. Serving Hold All Roads and Famine Threatens. Soffa, the Bulgarian capital, is completely cut off, according to a dispatch received from Bulgrade in Berlin. The Servian troops invading the city have cut all railroad communications, thus threatening the Bulgarian troops as well as the inhabitants with famine. Dispatches from Bucharest told of the arrival of all the peace delegates representing the Balkan States. Nothing definite has been agreed upon, though, and in the meantime fighting continues. Utilizing the recently captured Kreana Pass, the Greeks occupied Semeli and thus placed the Bulgarians in a dangerous position. The Turks continue to occupy the towns they took, but so far as reported have made no advances this week. Named Jersey Collector. President Wilson nominated Bernard M. Gannon as collector of internal revenue for the fifth district of New Jersey. --- STRIKE AVERTED ON BIG RAILWAYS Award, of Board to Be Effective October 1, Instead of Dating Back to May, as Asked. The threatened strike of 80,000 trainmen and conductors on forty-five eastern railroads for higher wages and better working conditions faded away in New York city when the managers of the eastern trunk lines walked their claim to the right to ask arbitration o the roads' grievances. As a consequence both sides will meet to select, under the Newlands act, two arbitrators apiece, whose meetings probably will begin in New York city not later than Sept. 15. Any award will date as of Oct. 1, and will be binding for one year. The decision of the conference of railroad managers to abandon their claim was reached when it became clear that the men would not brook much further delay. They insisted that the railroads had "put one over" on them in the amendment of the Erdman law, and therefore they, the employees, would not arbitrate anything not mentioned in the list of grievances submitted many months ago. The proposal that their own grievances against the men also should be arbitrated, the managers announced they had relinquished to "protect the public" from a teep-up which the employees said they intended to force if the railroads persisted in pressing their point. The peaceful outcome of the dispute was the result of efforts made by the board of mediation and conciliation recently created in the hurriedly passed Newlands act to met the situation. The board, concluding of Judge William Lee Chambers, Judge Martin A. Knapp and G. W. W. Hanger, brought about the agreement after conferences with the disputants, which continued more than a week. With the elimination of the eight grievances for which the railroads desired consideration, the articles of arbitration comprise, without alteration, the sixteen original demands presented by the conductors and trainmen. The only point gained by the railroads was a provisional that the award of the board of arbitration shall take effect Oct. 1 next, instead of May 1 last, the date requested by the employees. The articles were signed on behalf of the men by W. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Traimmens, and A. B. Garretson, president of the Order of Railway Conductors, and for the railroads by Elisha Lee, chairman of the conference committee of railroad managers. The members of the mediation board returned to Washington, where they will report to President Wilson. The board will not again be called into action unless the four arbitrators named by the railroads and the men fall to agree on a fifth and sixth to complete the arbitration board. In that contingency the mediation board will select two new members. --- Will Extend Parcel Post: Despite senatorial criticism of the proposed reduction in parcel post rates and the increase in the size of packages to twenty pounds, Postmaster General Burleson announced that he would issue the final orders at once, putting the proposed changes in effect Aug. 15. The announcement came after the wisdom of making the changes had been subjected to a searching review before the senate postoffice committee. Edgar E. Clark, chairman of the interstate commerce commission, explaining why the commission had sanctioned the proposed changes, said he believed the postmaster general had ample power under the law to make the changes. "I am convinced that the postoffice department ought to, can and will extend the parcel post until it will carry all packages up to 100 pounds," he added. In answer to criticism of his proposed changes the postmaster general appeared before the senate postoffice committee with Mr. Clark. The postmaster general read a letter from the commission stating that it was satisfied conditions were such as to prevent the shipment by the parcel post of many articles, and that the proposed changes were "in order to promote the service to the public." --- Train Robbers Forgot Powder. The eastbound Northern Coast Limited on the Northern Pacific was held up by three masked men a mile and a half west of Homestead, Mont. The attempt resulted in a force, for the would-be robbers got nothing. The train was stopped with torpedoes taken from a bridge watchman who was held up shortly before the limited was due. The desperadoes compelled the engineer and train crawl to uncouple the engine and express car from the rear of the train and proceed ahead, leaving and works on the other side of a tunnel about 400 feet distant: When the engine was brought to a stop one outlaw announced that he had forgotten to bring the "giant" along; that the powder was back with the train. The incident brought forth snickers from the trainmen, which were stopped by the firing of shots. The bandits then disappeared among the rocks, and it is said that they left the scene on horses which they had tied nearby. "Movie" Actor Burned Fernleigh Kutz, a former lieutenant in the United State army, and son of Charles M. Kutz, is retired banker, in Pottstown, Pa., who severally burned while a moving picture was being acted. Kutz is manager of a film company, and was to take a leading role. A barrel of gunpowder was exploded prematurely when a fire burned too quickly. Kutz was blown ten feet in the air, and when he came down his clothing was里. He was then taken to a hospital, where his condition is serious. It is believed he will recover. Oliver Roscoe and Bert Williams, also actors, were near the barrel of powder and were badly burned. Wild West Creditors Sue. An involuntary position in bankruptcy was filed in the United States court in Trenton, N. J., against the Buffalo Bill Wild West and Puwnee Hill Great Far, East Shows. Service in the proceedings was made upon Gordon W. Lillie, president of the, company controlling the show. The company is a New Jersey corporation, with its principal office in Trenton. An auxiliary proceedings will be instituted in Denver to take over the entire show. The assets and liabilities were not stated in the petition. To Sell Whole Town. Paxinos, a town of 200 population, near Sunbury, Pa., and owned by J. Warner Mifflin, a brick manufacturer, is to be sold under the hommer in two weeks by E. M. Leader, of Shamokin, appointed assigné by the Northumberland county court. Only two properties in the town are not owned by Mifflin. Bankruptcy, the result of unsuccessful contracts, is the cause for the sale. The entire town was staked out by engineers, and an effort will be made to sell the town as a whole. Otherwise individual sales will be made. Grindatone Kills Lad Earnest Witmer, the eight-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Witmer, of near Carlisle, Pa., died from injuries received when a grindstone burst. Two of the boy's brothers were engaged in sharpening a keystone on a grindstone geared to a bicycle. Earnest was pouring water on the stone. The whirling of the stone became so fast that it burst. One place weighing thirteen pounds struck young Witmer, crushing in his chest, breaking his jawbone and inflicting other injuries. Find Headless Body at Sea. The finding of the headless body of an apparently well-to-do young woman at sea, thirty miles east of George's Bank, by captain Charles White, of the Gloucester fishing schooner Joule H. Gilbert, is believed to reveal a possible death by violence on a craft, perhaps a trans-Atlantic liner. The body was found about 170 miles out from Boston. Corrects of apparently expensive make, black shirt-walst and high button boots were on the body. Ax and Mule Kill Children. George Hogg, a farmer of Searle, near Birmingham, Ala., lost three of his children in a series of unusual accidents. While Hogg was at work cutting some wood his ax flew from the helve and struck his infant in the head, killing it instantly. He carried the body to his home and there learned that two of his young sons had been kicked to death by a mule. Protests of Innocence Kill Declaring, until he became unconscious, his innocence of the charge of stealing a diamond scarfpin, George Walters, of Chester, Pa., died in the county prison in Chamberburg, Pa., of spinal meningitis. He had been an orderly at the White, Pine Sanatorium, and it was charged that he took the scarfpin from the effects of a patient who died.

After several estimates had been made as to the number of lives lost in the fire that flattened the Binghamton N. Y., clothing factory's plant, the list of probable dead was increased to sixty-five. A careful estimate places the number of those in the building at the time the fire started at 111. Of these only fifty; three are known to be saved. Six dead have been identified; fifteen bodies, charred beyond recognition, are at the morgue; seven injured are in the hospitals; forty-six several slightly injured, are safe at their homes. Sieven have been reported by relatives as missing, and twenty-six others are unaccounted for. A wisp of smoke and a spurt of flame swept up the stairway 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, formerly 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 pounded inside was hard to determine in the panic. Police Kill: Wrong Man. William hither, of Kenvil, was shot and killed at Dover, near Newark, N. J. by police officers, who had mistaken him for William Corduan, husband of the woman who was murdered on Tuesday night at her home in Newark. Corduan was arrested shortly afterward near the scene of the shooting. The police theory is that he killed his wife by forcing a sharp rat tattle file through the roof of her mouth into her brain. The woman's husband disappeared after the murder, and the police learned that he had gone to the house of a friend near the Dover race track. Their story is that, they waited outside this house, when they saw a man who, in the darkness, looked like Corduan. They called to him to surrender, but instead of doing so he whipped out a pistol and began firing. Chief of Police Ethelbert Bryan fired three shots at the man, who fell dead. Butler had a magazine revolver and a bottle half filled with poison. His presence there thus equipped presents a mystery in itself. Hidden Pistol Kills Child A revolver kept hanging behind a picture on the wall accidentally exploded and killed six-year-old Rosia Gastano in Tampa, Fla. With a playmate, Rosia had been swinging the picture by pushing it with a broom. The picture and the pistol came down and the revolver exploded as it struck the floor, the ball entering the little girl's brain. --- Girl Slain at Her Desk. Miss Florence T. Brown, a stenographer, was murdered at her desk in Dallas, Texas. Her throat was cut and her left arm was mangle, evidently by a man's teeth. None of the members of the real estate firm who employed her was in the office at the time. Brushes on her body showed that the girl had fought hard for her life. Man, Hanged, Revives In Coffin. Horser Mitchell, colored, was hanked Wednesday in the jail yard in Starke, Fl., for the murder of another colored man, and was declared dead at the end of thirty-eight minutes by two physicians. After his body had been placed in a coffin, Mitchell, whose neck had not been broken, revived and lived three hours. Youthful Firebug Insane. Raymond Reah, sixteen years old, who recently confessed to setting fire to a fashionable North Side apartment house in Pittsburgh, Pa., causing the loss of one life and property worth $30,000, was committed to an institution for feele-minded boys. He also confessed to starting five other fights "just to see the horses run."

ALL PARTOOK OF WATERCRESS Married Couple Is Stricken In Maine, and Many Others While on Their Vacations. As the result, it is believed, of eating germ-baden watercress, which was used to garnish the food served at a wedding breakfast, nineteen of the guests who attended the merrage of Miss Elizabeth Burt, 1234 South Fifty-first street, Philadelphia, and Jack Wincell, ot. New York, on June 24, are suffering from a malignant form of typhoid fever. Simultaneously with the report that the bride and bridegroom had been stricken with the malady at Brunswick, Me., where they had gone on their homymoon, a number of cases were reported to Dr. A. A. Calrns, chief medical inspector of the bureau of health. An investigation was started at once, and it was learned that in every instance the patient had attended the wedding at the residence of the bride's parents, M. and Mrs. James L. Burt. Among those now seriously ill are: Miss Frances W. Varrell, daughter of Dr. F. M. Varrell, Swarthmore; Mrs. James L. Burt, mother o Mrs. Winchell, who is also at Brunswick, Me.; Miss Kocelyn Underhill, Lansdown; Mr. and Mrs. Abbott M. Gardett and their son, Nicholas, nine years old, Swarthmore; Lundin Burt and Miss Patine Burt, cousins of the bride; the Mines, Monashan, daughters of James Monaghan; Miss Gardner, daughter of 10 Gardner, Germantown. Many of those who attended the wedding were stricken while on their vacations. The condition of the bridegroom is considered serious, but all the other patients are believed to be suffering from light attacks. Those who attended the wedding who have not been stricken have been inoculated in an effort to ward off a possible attack of the disease. The source of every article of food served at the wedding breakfast has been traced by Dr Carr. Samples of some of the food have been obtained and bacteriological tests are being made. Letters have been addressed to all the guests to ascertain just what articles on the menu were eaten by them. Six have not replied. Dr. Cairns is satisfied that the typhoid was contracted at the wedding he says that the fact that so many who attended have contracted the disease could hardly be a coincidence, and while he has not said definitely what article of food it was that contracted the typhoid, he is of the opinion that it was a false witness.

The Burt family does not hold the caterer responsible for the disease. It is believed that the watercress was probably obtained near some stream which harbored the bacteria. None of those stricken is considered dangerously ill. It was reported that the condition of Mr. and Mrs. Garrott and their son, of Swarthmore, is somewhat improved. About fifty guests attended the Winchell-Burt wedding, all of whom partook of the breakfast. It was two weeks later when the first cases of typhoid developed. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Alcohol and Muscular Weakness. Very often a man takes alcoholic beverages because he thinks they increase his strength. But a careful test which has been made with accurate instruments shows that alcohol, instead of increasing strength of the muscles, diminishes their power. Alcohol produces the well known disease of nerve exhaustion or neurasthma. There have been many cases of this kind. They usually occur in the case of individuals who drink alcohol, as they say, moderately, yet habitually for weeks, months or even years. They think it less than no harm, but the facts are that it is making them extremely nervous and undermin- THE ECONOMY, CLEANING DYING AND REPAIRING. CHITMAN M. WHITE. Proprietor.

' --- SATURDAY.....AUGUST 9. 1918 19 KILLED BY MINE EXPLOSIONS Dynamite Blows Up and Flames Set Off Gas Pocket 19 INJURED; SOME FATALLY First Rescuers Were Caught In Second Explosion and Several Were Killed and Injured—Two Victims Entombed. Nineteen men are dead and as many more are injured seriously, some of them fatally, as the result of explosions in the East Brookside colliery of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron company, near Tower City, Pa. The first accident was caused by two tons of dynamite used in driving a new tunnel exploding prematurely. With a tremendous roar the massive nine pillars 1800 feet below the ground were shattered. The dead are: Daniel M. Ginley, fire boss, Tower City. Henry Murphy, fire boss, Tower City. John Farrell, foreman, Tower City. Howard Hand, laborer, Mulr. Superintendent John Lorenz, Tower City. Harry Hand, miner, Mulr. Jacob Kopenhaver, Relnerton, shaft man. Thomas Behny, miner, Relnerton. John Endice. John Lintner. Current Cammant. Victor Seane. Cecelia Groziano. Four unidentified Italian workmen. Two have not been recovered, and there is no hope of their being taker out alive. They are: Daniel Farley fire boss, Tower City, and John Fessler, Tower City. A rescue party started into the mine immediately, and they had hardly been lowered into the shaft when the second explosion followed. This was caused by the flames reaching a pocket of gas. In the second disaster Superintendent John Lorez and Harry Schofetal, the fire boss, who led the rescue party, were overcome. For five minutes the bottom of the mine, which is reached by the deep out shaft in the antirrhinite coal region was like a furnace, with all the miners within reach of the flames lying prostrate on their faces to avoid the breathing in of the fumes. The terrible heat, however, either searched the life out of most of them or the concussion and flying rocks killed them. A second rescue force was then formed, and they got the bodies of Superintendent Lorenz and Schofestal besides those of three miners. Lorenz was brought to the Pottsville hospital, where he died. Schofestal is totally injured. The three minors received almost as soon as they reached the surface. The explosion set fire to the mine and the result is here wired in heels containing a metal sign. Nine of the bodies of the dead were so searched as to be unrecognizable and the only way to ascertain their names will be from the records on those who went to work and did not return. The driving of the tunnel where the fatal accident occurred was under the direction of private contractors, Port land Bros. and most of the employed killed were working for these contractors. Comparatively few employer of the Reading company were killed. Seven persons are dead, two are fatally burned and eleven others are seriously injured as the result of a motorcycle accident at the Lagoon motordrome, in Ludlow, Ky. Odin Johnson, of Salt Lake City captain of the Cincinnati team, which was contesting at the motordrome, fo. some reason that probably will remain unknown, drove his cycle to the extreme top of the circular track, crashed into an electric light pole, broke it off, and the contact of the live wire with his machine exploded the gas line tank, throwing the burning liquid over a score of spectators. The dead are: Odin Johnson, of Salt Lake City, the motorcycle racer; William Davis, aged five years, Ludlow Ky.; Henry Andrews, Cincinnati; Mrs William Michael, Ludlow, Ky.; Mrs Ethel Buchtman, Covington, Ky.; James Carter, Cincinnati, and William Patterson, Cincinnati. The fatally burned are: Orville Hart, Newport, Ky.; and Herman Davis, Cincinnati. That a large number of others, who cannot be located, were burned is at most a certainty, as several of the drug stores in the vicinity of the place were kept busy for an hour after the accident dressing the burns of those who escaped without serious injury. When the spectators who were or fire began to run the audience rose as one, many women fainted, and it was with the greatest difficulty that a stampe was prevented. Benger, Pa., Has $650,000 Fires. A fire entailing a loss estimated at $800,000 destroyed, the entire plant of the Flory Manufacturing company, except one small brick building, the grisel and grain elevator of the Flory manufacturing company, and two dwelling Nearly 800 men are thrown out of employment by the fire and pattern of great value, some of which perspawn cannot be replaced, were destroyed in the blaze. When the fire was discovered it has gained great headway. All the fire companies in the town were on the scene in a remarkably short time, and one from Easton later, but their efforts were of no avail, and the fires burned themselves out. Several dromen and others were slightly burned. A rigid investigation was started into the cause of the fire, which is supposed to have been of incendiary origin. The district attorney will assist in the investigation and has sent the county detective with instructions to aid. The Flory Milling company's mill and elevator contained about $60,000 worth of new and old wheat, just received, and a large quantity of flour. The loss of the Flory Manufacturing company is $500,000 and that of the milling company $100,000. The insurance carried by the two concerns was $215,000 and $40,000 respectively. The two dwelling houses destroyed belonged to the Achenbach estate, and were occupied by the families of John Hoskell and Hugh Norris. They saved their furniture. The houses were valued at $6000 each. Three freight cars, standing on the sliding were burned. Two of these cars, containing grain, belonged to the Lackawanna railroad; and the third was a Lehigh & New England car, loaded with mining machinery, all ready for shipment. --- Mother Killis Three Children and Belf. A mother, driven insane by worrying over the sorrow's illness of one of her children in Philadelphia, cut the throats of three of her children and then drew the knife across her own throat. The woman and one of the children were dead when neighbors and a policeman forced their way into the house. Another child, a seven-year-old boy, died a few hours after he was taken to the West Philadelphia Homeopathic hospital. Mary, aged nine, also died in the hospital. The dend are: Mrs. Alice Brocken, 0147 Callowhill street; her three-year-old son, Thomas, and her seven-year-old son, Victor. Joseph, aged fifteen years, and Gertrude, two years old, were all that escaped from the knife which the woman had wielded so terribly. John Brogan, Jr., another son, aged twelve years, is in the Homeopathic hospital suffering with pneumonia. It is thought that grief over his condition may have prompted the mother's rash deeds. Parcel Post Changes. Further to popularize the parcel post system with the public, Postmaster General Buckleon announced that after Aug. 15 the weight limit on packages would be placed at twenty pounds, instead of eleven pounds, as at present, and that a sharp reduction in charges would be made. He announced also that on the same date the "banking by mail" feature would be introduced into the postal savings system. The reduction in charges on parcel post for local delivery is from 5 cents or the first pound and 1 cent for each additional pound, to 5 cents for the first pound and 1 cent for each additional two pounds of fractions thereof. For delivery in the first zone the rate will be reduced from 5 cents for the first and 3 cents for each additional pound, to 5 cents and 1 cent; for the second zone the rate will be cut from 6 cents and 4 cents to 5 cents and 1 cent for each additional pound. Frank Plandeskil had a thrilling experience with a bull while picking blackberries along a stream near Glasgow, Del. A red shirt worn by the berry picker is supposed to have enraged the bull. Plandeskil was in a stooping position, with his back to the field, when the animal without warning butted him and he landed in the middle of the stream. The bull, belowing with rage, started into the stream after him, but Plandeskil recovered entirely from the shock to swim to the opposite bank to safety. Aajor Tax $2,741,883.

WILSON SENDS AGENT TO MEXICO IMBASSADOR STEPS CC Bryan Accepts Resignation of Henry Lane Wilson, to Take Effect on Oct. 14. The initiation of President Wilson's policy of mediation with respect to Mexico was announced when Secretary of State Bryan made public the fact that former Governor John Lind, of Minnesota, had left Washington for Mexico City, where he will be the personal representative of the president and adviser to the American embassy. To Mr. Lind the president has entrusted the task of trying to induce the federal government and the representatives of the rebels temporarily to lay aside their differences, pending an election in Mexico, with the understanding that the United States will recognize the government which thus may be brought into being. While the formal statement given out by Mr. Bryan did not contain any information as to Mr. Lind's instructions, from information gained from other sources it can be said that the above is the administration's program. Mr. Bryan's statement was as follows: "Dr Governor Lind, o Minnesota, has been sent to Mexico as the special representative of the president, to act as adviser to the embassy in the present situation. When the president is ready to communicate with the Mexican authorities as to the restoration of peace he will make public his views." This announcement, which represents all that the administration is willing to tell the country regarding its Mexican policy at this time, offblow closely on the basis of the acceptance of the resignation of Henry Lane Wilson as ambassador to Mexico. Mr Lind virtually takes the place in the embassy at Mexico City made vacant by the resignation of Ambassador Wilson. Mr. Wilson has been held on waiting orders by the department of state, and on Aug. 14 will enter upon a status of leave of absence, which will continue until Oct. 14, when his resignation will become effective. The administration has forbidden him to go to Mexico City to adjust his personal affairs between now and Oct. 14. The reason for this is that it is known that should Mr. Wilson return to Mexico City, even as a private citizen, there would result a demonstration in his honor, in which Americans, Mexicans and foreigners would participate. Secretary Bryan's announcement of the acceptance of Mr. Wilson's resignation was as follows: "Ambassador Wilson's resignation has been accepted, to take effect Oct. 14. The part which he felt it his duty to take in the earlier stages of the recent revolution in Mexico would make it impossible for him to represent the views of the present administration, in view of the situation which now exists." This statement, it is understood, refers to the ambassador's action in putting an end to the bombardment in Mexico City by bringing Huerta and Diaz together. It is understood to be the plan of the administration to make its offer of good offices to the Mexicans publicly, so that the whole world may know what is going on. It apparently is hoped that the Mexican factions will mediate to hear the onus of the consequences which would follow a refusal to settle the internal differences amicably, or at least avoid themselves of the incident's good offices. Should Mexico refuse, however there will be no armed intervention in that country by the United States This the administration has taken as the fundamental of its policy toward Mexico instead. In the event of a fallure of the mediation program, the president, it is believed, will lift the embargo on arms and ammunition and thus insult the Mexicans to fight it out until they weary of it. It is admitted that this would amount to a virtual abandonment of American interests in Mexico. SWALLOWS HANDKERCHIEF Burgseons Have to Remove It From Lad's Throat Piece by Piece. Edward Cawley, fourteen years old of 1010 Jefferson street, Philadelphia, swallowed a handkerchief, and it took physicians at St. Joseph's hospital an hour to get it from his throat. During that time the lad breathed through a silver tube which had been connected with the windpipe. The handkerchief was so tightly wedged in the boy's throat that it had to be taken put piece by piece. The boy had placed the handkerchief in his mouth while eating candy. He swallowed it while running after some of his playmates. Reaper Tears Off Arm: Bleeds to Death Samuel Meyers, a farmer, of near Lancaster, Pa., bled to death after his arm was cut off. Meyers was cut cutting oats, and while he was fixing the reaper the horses bolted. Meyers was caught by one of the knives and his arm was dipped off at the shoulder. Crazed Woman Cuts Off Nose. Mrs. Nellie Marger, suddenly in sane, took a pair, of scissors and cut off the end of her nose and the tip of her tongue at Wallace's hotel in New York.

Both ends of the capitol were busy with the search for the "Insidious lobby," which hereforeore has been confined to the senate wing. The probes of the senate continued their work with regard to the columbine correspondence of Martin M. Mulhall, the former lobbyist for the National Association of Manufacturers, while the house probes got into action and cleared the way to put Mulhall on the grill. It is intimated that the house committee may not be as considerate in handling the lobbyist as the senate investigators have been. Former Senator Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio, was the chief witness before the senate committee. He appeared to deny many of the statements made by Mulhall. Foraker explained his connection with the sale of the Union Pacific to a organization committee in 1897, which was brought into the lobby in investigation by David Lamar. Lamar testified that Foraker, through influence in Washington, took a leading part in the deal, at Lamar's solicitation. Foraker testified that the Union Pacific owed the United States $30,000,000, and one proposal was that the government receive only part of that sum. Foraker swore that he did not figure in the case except in an effort to see that the government got the whole sum. Foraker said he had known Mulhall since 1883, when he (Foraker) was a candidate for governor of Ohio. He did not know how active Mulhall was in his behalf in that campaign. "I don't remember that I ever asked him to work for me, and I don't know that I asked him not to," he said. Foraker denied that he ever favored any legislation wanted by the National Association of Manufacturers, so that he talked with Mulhall about legislation in Washington. "Before we got so good as we are now," he said, "I thought it was all right to answer questions. Of course I never had any idea that these conventions were to be made the basis of reports by some lobbyist." Foraker flatly denied Mulhall's testimony of a conference at which many leading Republicans opposed to the nomination of Taft assembled at Foraker's house to discuss plans for center opposition. "No such conference was held at my house or else, where," said Foraker. "I did not think Mulhall was at great a man as he thought he was and I did not think he had as great influence as he thought he had. I did not take him so seriously as he did himself," said Foraker. In contrast to those who have do not named Mullah as a "liar," Foraker amused his heroes by the calm way he talked of Mullah's desire to appear with prominent men, talk with them and report what he thought they thought to his employers. Mullah offered his services to Foraker in the latter's campaign for election to the senate "in return for your many kind acts for our people." "Now I want to say here," said Foraker, "that I never did any kind acts for the National Association of Manu facturers. I opposed what they wanted with the exception, perhaps, of two or three injunction bills. Nor do recall that Mullah or any officer of the National Association of Manufacturers ever called upon me with respect to a bill." The witness read a record showing his attitude toward labor legislation in the senate, stating that, with one exception, he always voted for bills favoring labor.

Who Was Robbed of $75,000 Worth of Jewelry. 100 Photo by American Press Association. Detectives are making a country wide search for jewelry valued at $3,500 which was stolen from the balcony of Mrs. Rumsey at her summer home, Gunning Rock, Narratagge, I. K. Among the jewels was a pearl necklace valued at $4,000. To ward off discovery of the theft as long as the theft is off the jewel case in their proper places after removing the contents. Jewelry Worth $277,000 Stolen. The theft of jewels worth $277,000 is acknowledged by members of the millionaire cottage colony at Narra gansett Pleb, R. I. The gang of expert burglaries that looted profitably in 1911 is believed to be again at work. The loss of Mrs. John H. Hannah on Friday, is admitted to be fully $150,000. Mrs. Charles C. Rumsey, daughter of the late E. H. Hartman, lost two pearl necklaces worth $60,000 and $40,000, other jewels worth $25,000, and an ancient Greek coin said to be very valuable. The best detective genius available is matching wits with the expert crooks who took the $27,700 worth of gems almost under the-nose of the summer colony. Rival agencies with international reputations as thief getters have been engaged by Mrs. Rumsey and Mrs. Hannan. Every pler on Narra gannett Bay is being watched in the belief that the thieves, operating as gentlemen, are anauctioning about the fashionable hotels looking for an opportunity to leave town without exciting suspicion. Thus far not a tangible dice has been found. "What is the best way to get free word?" Nothing on earth is so valuable as a Human Mind. If a diamond is worth polishing at great trouble and cost, much more is the mind of a boy or young man worth all the polishing that the schools can give it. The best education is not too good for a promising youth. Who would choose a poor physician to save a low cost when health is in danger? And who would choose an interior school to save a few dollars when a better school will increase the strength of character and of mind for life and prepare one for a larger usefulness?

CHEAP AND CONVENIENT IDEA The Fatal Habit of Eternal Reiteration More a Failing of the Feminine Than The Masculine Sea—A Remedy For This Failing Is Suggested. My Dear Esa, So you have decided to spend August by the "sea sea waves"? Now, you really must take a homemade awning sooth you as a shinel from the sun while sitting on the sands. Of course you will find plenty of covered chairs which you can rent on the touch by the hour, but they are not only expensive when free quently used, but they have the dis advantage too of not being movable. You have to get off by yourself in se chubbed shoes, and it out of the ques- tion warty one of these chairs as a testing shoe. You see, "Why not use an umbrella?" According to theygot notion, this protection is awkward, gives inadequate shade and shades of air. So it's me for the homemade awning that can be totaled around with you. This is the way to get the swing into shape: Buy four bamboo or some coke about two fast long and fasten a brass hook into the top of each one. Now take four yards of dark green sateen or similar material a yard wide and cut it into two two yard lengths and new the strips together, making a four yard square. Hem all four edges and at each corner new a good sized brass eye to fasten over the screw holes on the poles. Now drive your poles one foot into the sand about two yards apart in a square, and when you've hitched your top to it you will have a four yard block of shade open to the breaches in which four people may sit comfortably. *Denim would, of course, make a denier shade, but it is heavy to burden oneself with, and the chief joy of this awning, my dear, is the fact that it can be easily carried to the beach-poles and all—and as readily moved from spot to spot on the sands or rocks.* Talking about vacation and vacation conveniences reminds me of a woman where we stopped for a week's "breathing spell" not long ago. Well, this particular monolith was more adduced to vain repetition than most of our sex, and Dick says, "We've all got this fault load." But, really, just between ourselves, we women are given to the uncomfortable habit of rubbing it in. Lots of women give a command to their children not once, but twenty times. They tell their husbands their opinions on certain matters on all and every occasion. In other words, they confuse emphasis with frequency, and this is where they defeat their own purpose. Forgive this sermonizing on the sub-jeck, but when a painter wants to focus attention upon a certain face he makes everything else in the picture subservient to this one single feature. If an actress exhibits her attractive manners as continually she is a poor actress, and the woman who crams her house full of a hundred pieces of bricks destroys the virtue of all. The best way in my estimation to put a stop to this unfortunate practice of refereeing and reporting is to diplomatically lead up to a point or salze it when it comes in the natural course of events and then say what one wants to with unmistakable clearness. There will have to be sufficient preparation for this elimination to be sure, but forethought should be one of action rather than of words, metthinks. And after all, dear, gaining one's point is not the chief business of life. I often think one learns more through what one has been forced to accept from others than through what one has forced others to accept from us. But if one wants to gain some point or to make a position clear on some matter one stands a better chance of doing it by a few well directed remarks than a constant hammering on the same will nail. Let me tell you about a chocolate pudding, a delicious summer dessert, by the way, which we had the other night, and then my story for this week will be ended. Into a double boiler or an aluminum cup, put one half cup of granulated sugar and two rounded tablespoonfuls of cornstarch. Blend these carefully with one-eighth of a teaspoonful of salt and then add two and a half cups of sweet milk. Cook together until it begins to thicken stirring gently from the bottom, to prevent lumping and scorching; then add two squares of cooking chocolate and a teaspoonful of butter. Let it cook slowly for ten minutes if an aluminum pan is used or a half hour if a double boiler is preferred; then remove from the fire and add one teaspoonful of vanilla. Bent thoroughly, pour into a mold which has been thoroughly moistened with cold water and when cold serve with whipped cream. Hope you'll like the pudding. Your ever.

There is no perfect preventive for freckles, although they can be partially prevented by using a cream and then a good face powder before being exposed to the sun. An excellent method for removing them, which is often successful, is as follows. Get an ointment of unrepolized wax at the droogist's. Apply this nightly the same as cold cream, washing it off morning. This will cause the offensive cuticle gradually to make way, by a process of gentle absorption, for the clear, velvety, healthy skin underneath. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. To Disperse Wrinkles: To Disperse Wrinkles. In the face may arise from various causes. Loss of flesh will make the skin loose, and with this diminution of the fat, which dills up the cracks and lines, the skin will naturally lose its smooth appearance and fall into wrinkles. The great thing therefore is to counteract this tendency to lines by applying to the skin some emollient lotion of a nondrying nature, combined with an, nastringent wash to tighten the skin. A good cream of pure olive oil will do this if rubbed into the skin circular fashion, if the lines spread from the eyes to the hair. If underneath the eyes, gently smooth them out by rubbing, not upward, but beginning from the inner corner downward with semi-fircular movement, working the oil or cream well in with the first and second fingers. Lines from the nose to the chin should be rubbed toward the cheek, and those across the forehead from side to side of the face not up and down. It is also an excellent idea to massage the face all over with a little fresh cream, while the natural oil in the fingers will do much to prevent and drive them away if this friction is employed regularly for five minutes every night. Before rubbing bathe the face in warm water, not too hot; then with soft cold water, into which a few drops of violet vinegar have been added, give the countenance a last lavaging. Uncle Chet's Advice. Uncle Chet Thomas was a famous Kansas politician of the early days. Once, when he was in the Kansas legislature, a man interested in a certain bill offered Uncle Chet $100 to help the bill along. "Never you mind about that!" said Uncle Chet. "I don't want your money, and, besides, don't you never try to buy a politician. When you want to buy anybody, buy an honest man—he'll stay bought, but a politician has a record to maintain!"—Saturday Evening Post. Pleasant Company "Alcohol the queer kinks in the brain," remarked a minister when the subject of intoxicants drove. "As I was going home on a recent Saturday evening I notched a fellow walking with slow and ansteady gravity just ahead, mumbling to himself. "As I overtook him I caught his words, and this is what he was repeating over and over to himself, anxious, no doubt, that he shouldn't forget his line of defense: "Been drunk an' ain't been home for three days, hie!

She is a very foolish malden who allows her vanity to induce her to wear a tulle hat on the beach. Once or twice, on clear, fresh days, when there is a land breeze blowing, she may with safety wear a tulle hat on the sands, but if she continues to wear it the tulle will soon lose its crispness, a strange odor will cause her to wonder if a glue factory is beer, and the tulle but will become a limp, sticky, pittable object. To be sure, a malnes is offered for sale which the manufactures claim is impervious to salt breezes, but how is one to be certain that the multiner has used this waterproof malnes? Better keep the tulle hat for the country or the trip to town and choose one trimmed with ribbon for the seaside. The all black hat is the smart headgear of the hour, regardless of the ```markdown ``` THE GOURA TRIMMED MODEL shape, and it is a practical choice for the beach. A black hat does not look quite as summery or light as an all white hat, but the sun cannot damage it as it can one of colored straw, or even one of the natural tone straw, which can become actually sunburn. There is a fad for trimming some of the black hats with blue ribbon bows, and a few of the holder spirits among the fashion leaders are appearing in brown straw hats. When the latter are worn with brown shoes and stockings and a sash of brown moire or tulle the effect is really artistic. The hat pictured is a black creation made attractive with a wreath and a mount of poud feathers. THE KITCHEN SINK. Keep the Pipe Hidden From View Absolutely Clean. One of the things that every housewife should look after carefully is the kitchen sink. Many a good housewife will keep the enameled part of the sink spathes, the woodwork polished as white as possible and imagine that her sink is clean. This is right. The sink should be kept spatless from every stair or discoloration, but the cleaning must go further than this. The pipe that is hidden from view should be kept just as clean as the porcelain part. Crumbs, tea leaves and greasy water, matches and little bits of this and little bits of that find their way into the pipe, and it soon becomes clogged. This sometimes occasions a plumber's bill and makes carelessness in this regard very expensive, but, more than the plumber's bill, the dirty sink pipe may occasion illness. It cannot help but give off impure colors, thus vittating the atmosphere of the kitchen and contaminating everything around it. A splendid little device for keeping things out of the sink pipe that ought not to go in is a sink strainer. This strainer can be set in the sink and the water passed through it before reaching the sink pipe. This serves to strain out all the bits of dirt that would otherwise find their way into the sink pipe. Care, however, should be taken in other ways also. In washing dishes every dish should be cleaned of particles of food before being put into the water. Every day or so boiling water should be poured into the pipes. A piece of common soda dissolved in the water will help remove any greaseace from the pipes. Milk should never be poured down the sink, because it causes the pipes to become sour. With just a little care the housewife can keep the pipes of the sink free from PHOTOS. We offer you, the Leisure and Most Artistic Photos, at a More Moderate Picture than you can obtain elsewhere.

There is on the market a very useful little rack for brushes to be used in dishwashing. It contains a round brush for washing glasses and cups, a heavy brush for scrubbing pots and pans, a brush for plates and platters, and a little round brush to reach the bottom of pitchers, vases and other narrow mouthed dishes. This little rack, with a printed legend above each brush staining its use, is made of enameled tin and can be hung conveniently over the sink. It costs, stocked with brushes, less than $1.50. Brushes of all sorts can be best cleaned with ammonia or borax. If ammonia is used be careful not to get the handle of the brush in the water any more than is necessary, as the ammonia removes and whitens varish and paint. Use a tablepoonful to a pail of soapy water. If borax is used add it to the hot soapsuds in about the same proportion. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Drugs and Nerves. Drugs, stimulants and nervouses are useless as a cure, for nerves. These things are positive nerve killers. They certainly are not nerve invigorators. And yet many otherwise sensible persons take them day after day, week in, week out, under the mistaken impression that they will brace up the lowered nervous system. The result is only such as can be expected—viz, that the nerves are stupefied for the time being by their use, a reaction sets in and matters become worse than before until the nervous person develops into a chronic neuronal condition. True, in our large cities and in the more busy manufacturing centers the craving for tones or solatives is greater than in less congested areas. The tension on the nerves is higher, for one thing, but unfortunately the growing popularity of nerve tones is noticeable on every side. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Bore Throat. Simple remedies appear to be most effective. Salt and water is used by many as a gargle, but a little alum and honey dissolved in sage tea is better. An application of cloths wrung out of hot water and applied to the neck, changing as often as they begin to cool, has much potency for removing inflammation. It should be kept up for a number of hours. During the evening is usually the most convenient time for applying this remedy. Mad Dogs. Mad dogs do not attack people "When a dog has the tables," said a physician, "he has lost control of his body and what he does is mechanical. His jaws snap involuntarily, and if he encounters any object, whether animate or inanimate, he is likely to bite it. But a mad dog does not attack as does an angry dog. He does not pick out a victim or use any strategy. For this reason dogs suffering from rabies are less dangerous than is supposed. No grown person need fear them, for all he has to do is to get out of the way. The dog will not cause him. Of course, young children are in danger, as they do not know how to dodge the brute." Allowance Young men should be happy when they have rich fathers to make allowances for them. *Jacqueline* THOUGHTS AND THE MAN. Thoughts make the man. Habitual thinking determines the character. And thoughts may be as fatal as crime to the development of a lofty manhood. Regulate your thoughts and you regulate the direction and the measure of your growth. Think of sinful gains and sinful pleasures and your character will lose its warmth and color. Think of duty, righteousness and God, and the beauty of holiness will be reflected in your face.—I.

The letters and the smoke escaping from the cup of ten, the lines representing the Be Good in Cheer DESIGN FOR EMBROIDERING DOILY. table and the outline of cup and saucer, are to be done in outline stitch, or they may be worked solid. Pad the scallops by darning backward and forward several times or work chain stitch between the lines; then buttonhole closely over this foundation. To outline the stem take short stitches, keeping the needle toward the right, and work upward. Long and short stitch is made by taking short, irregular stitches close together, working slantwise from the centers toward the outer edges of the pattern. When making the solid Kensington stitch always begin a petal or leaf at the top and work toward the base. Take one two, three short stitches and then a long stitch. Work backward and forward, instead of through and through, and the top or right side of the work will be solid, while the wrong side will show a succession of small stitches. Use washable floss or embroidery cot. --- This May Manton pattern comes in one size only. Send 10 cents to this office, giving number, 617, and it will be promptly forwarded to you by mail.

The famous Blue Mountain houses in the Blue Ridge mountains, at Pen Mar, Pa., built twenty-five years ago at a cost of $150,000, was destroyed by fire. The personal property loss, including the jewelry of the guests, their clothing, trunks and baggage, together with the personal loss of the leases of the hotel, will amount to at least $250,000. This will bring the total loss from the blaze to more than $400,000. There is only $60,000 insurance. The fire had its origin in the hotel kitchen and quickly spread to adjoining rooms and balls, and thence to the elevator shaft and the floors above. There were 175 guests in the hotel all of whom, except B. F. Metgar and Malcolm Frank, of Norfolk, Va., made their escape in safety. The two men did not hear the alarm of fire until they found themselves hemmed in their room on the fourth floor. In trying to escape they fell through a trap door into a flame sweep hall and were badly burned on the face and head. They were hurried to Waynesboro, a few miles away, where surgeons cared for them. One woman jumped from the third story window. Scores were carried down ladders and countless others marched through the smoke-filled corridors and groped their way to safety clad only in their night clothing. The woman who leaped from the third-story window and landed on the porch on the second floor was Mrs. Dishrow, of Pittsburgh, Pa. She landed head first and it was thought she had been instantly killed. She was attended by a physician and her condition is serious. A hasty examination indicates she may be suffering from a fracture of the skull. CATTLE PRICES DROP Drought in Western States Cause Heavy Shipments of Stock. The intrush of cattle to Kansas City stock yards from the dry sections to Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri, which began in earnest on Monday, when 20,000 head were unloaded continued with the receipt of 16,000 head more. For the first two days of this week 48,000 cattle have been received, 20,000 more than Monday and Tuesday on last week, and nearly twice as many as were received at the Chicago stock yards. Prices were 15 to 25 cent lower than Monday, making a drop on 50 cents to $1.25 a hundred in the last ten days. Commission men said letters and telegrams from the stock raising districts were gloomy and indicated that unless rain came soon the flooding on the local-markets would be reducible 35 Blooded Horses Die In Fire. Thirty-five valuable horses met with death at White Sulphur Springs W. Va. when two large sables were carried. The loss is placed at approx. merely $100,000. Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythagus of Pennsylvania Heights Second Annual Season in Scranton, Pa. July 22, 1913. Never in the history of the Order was there ever more enthusiasm and general interest manifested than that shown in the session just closed. Sixty-eight lodges were represented with any number of visitors. The Mayor placed the keys of the city in the hands of the Grand Chancellor and from the highest down to the meckest done their part in paying their respect and extending their welcome. The newspapers of Scranton far excelled all other cities in publishing the full proceedings of the convention, displaying the Grand Chancellor's cut on the front page, fearless of criticism. On the second day the Grand Chancellor submitted his report and when he concluded the house went wild for fully one-half hour. When order was restored a motion prevailed to suspend the rule which was done, and the Grand Chancellor was reelected by acclamation. This is the first time in the history of the Order in the State of Pennsylvania that the rules were suspended and the Grand Chancellor elected by acclamation. The most heated contest during the session was that of the Secretary of the Endowment Board, which Aug. E. J. Waring held. His opponent was J. H. Long of Philadelphia. Both sides claimed the victory until the ballot decided it. Waring made a desperate fight to retain the position but the odds were too strong against him and Long won by a vote of 78 to 40. There were several other changes in minor offices and the most important one was the Secretary of the Home Commission and the G. M. D. There were quite a few disappointed office seekers in attendance but went home sadly disappointed swearing what they will do, when we get to Williamsport. Officers elected: B. G. Collier, G. C; A. N. Lomax, G. V. C; J. M. Palmer, G. P; George W. Mitchell, G. M. of W.; D. P. Townes, G. M. at A.; W. L. Winston, G. K. of R. and S.; W. D. Garnes, G. M. of E.; Endell Williams, G. I. G.; E. B. Lyons, G. O. T.; A. Wilson, G. L.; L. H. Long Sec. of Endowment. The Grand Court had a stormy session from the beginning to the end the G. W. C. losing the favor of the sisters for the reason they could not see for what they had been organized for as there were no records of any kind, no money at all, not enough to pay mileage and peril, and in order to try to remedy the conditions of things they decided to make a change in business all around, which they did. Mrs. Battle Courtney was chosen G. W. C.; Mrs. R. L. Tidekler, Secretary and Mrs. Clara C. Collier, Treasurer. Grand Chancellor B. G. Collier has assured the G. W. C. that he will stand by her in her effort to make a new house out of an old one, and as he knows no failure there is every reason to believe that the Grand Court will be seen in Williamsport as it never was before.

With two factions of colored people fighting over the question of a public park the matter will probably end in the Negroes getting nothing, besides being barred from the parks in the white residential sections, is the opinion at city hall. One faction of the colored population is led by the Rev. W. H. Stokes, the other by John Mitchell. The Stokes faction say that the establishment of a park for colored people is but another attempt at race segregation. The Mitchell faction say that if parks are good for white people they are good for colored people, that a park in Jackson ward will give the colored people a breathing place in that thickly populated district and not force them to go to Monroe park. Gamble's Hill and other points farther away for fresh air in Summer time. The Stokes faction held a meeting in True Reformer's hall last night and adopted a resolution addressed to the council, protecting against the establishment of a park for colored people off the ground that it put up the bars of segregation. The faction headed by John Mitchell will also hold a massmeeting shortly and will declare in favor of the park. Mitchell says that all parks have a tendency toward segregation of the districts. He says it keeps the people in their own neighborhood; that the white people on Church Hill do not crowd over to Gamble's Hill but go to Chimborazo park; that the people who live in the vicinity of Monroe park go there and not to Jefferson park. Mitchell says a park in Jackson ward will keep the residents of Jackson ward in that neighborhood and will keep them from getting into trouble in Monroe park. Gamble's Hill or some other foreign section. Thinks Well of Team At a meeting of the Superba Athletic Football Team the following officers were elected for the 1913 eleven Llewellyn Quarles. Capt.

He was anxious to sell it and was willing to take the first offer made. He advertised the place, and after waiting a week he was delighted when an inquiry came in. "Say, mister," the prospect asked, "how much do you want for the theater?" "My friend," the receiver replied, "I am extremely anxious to make a sale, and I'll let you have it for your own price." "Please, mister," said the inquirer, "can't you do a little better than that?—Saturday Evening Post. Express Revenue Cut $26,000,000. Reductions in express rates, which will cost the companies fully $26,000,000 a year—approximately 16 per cent of their gross revenue—were ordered by the interstate commerce commis sion. They are to become effective on or before Oct. 15, 1913. Notable reform in practice also were ordered. The most important change prescribed is by way of modification of the present graduated scale of parcel rates. One hundred pound rates for short distances either have been left unchanged or slightly reduced; for longer distances they have been lowered; for fifty pounds or less practically all rates have been reduced. For packages more than four pounds going more than 200 miles and less than 2000 miles, the new express rates are generally lower than the parcel post rates; for more than 3000 millet the rates are practically the same. -Burating Gun Kills Wife.
