AUG 25 19 AT THE NATION'S METROPOLIS. Split in A. M. E. Zion Church in Yorkers—Half of Membership Withdraws and Forms New Church—Members Rebel Again! Bishop Hood's Rule—Planet's Correspondent will Attend Business League—Will Represent New York Daily Newspapers, and Planet—An Entertaining Young Man—Newspaper Men Hold Meeting—Patterson Still being Scored by the Negro—General Notes. (Allen's National News Service, 252 W. 53rd Street.) On account of the iron-clad rule of Bishop J. W. Hood at the annual conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church, when he refused the request of a large number of the members of the Zion Church to return their pastor, the Rev. J. J. Smyer, a split has come about in the Zion Church in Yonkers, which has resulted in nearly one half of the membership of the church withdrawing and forming a new church known as the Christian Workers. They are worshiping in School street, near the Zion Church, and are planning to build in the near future. Rev. W. L. Bowden, said to be one of the most prominent of the Zion preachers, who grew dissatisfied with Bishop Hood's ruling and withdrew from the connection, is pastoring the new flock. Rev. R. M. Bolden, who was pastor of the Zion Church in New York, and seat to the church in Yonkers, is still in doubt as to whether he will accept the charge. This leaves the Zion connection in Yonkers in an embarrassed position. The split that has come about in Yonkers is bringing the connection it has been learned from good authority by your correspondent that some of the most influential members were among those to withdraw. Services at the Yonkers church are being conducted by Rev. L. G. Mason, Presiding Elder. It was the iron-clad rule of Bishop Hood, who refused the request of the members at Yonkers to return Dr. Smyer, who had been at the church for eight years, that brought about the change. In the opinion of many in the church, Bishop Hood is rather feeble to carry on the work of the connection, and many believed he should retire. PLANET'S CORRESPONDENT AT BUSINESS LEAGUE. Your correspondent left early Monday to attend the annual session of the National Negro Business League in Philadelphia. While in Philadelphia he will represent three of the leading New York newspapers, as well as The Planet and the colored press. Your correspondent will also solicit subscriptions for the New York Evening Post, one of the most ardent champions of the Negro's rights. Your correspondent would be glad to hear from men and women of the race who would like to subscribe to Post. The Saturday Evening Post is only $2.50 a year. AN ENTERPRISING YOUNG MAN From time to time your correspondent has called attention to several young men of the race who are shouldering responsibilities. These young men are rarely heard of, and they toll through life, working out their destiny. Among the young men with whom your correspondent has become impressed is Benjamin F. White, a young railroad man who has acquired much property, both in the North and South. Mr. White keeps busy looking after his property, some of which is located at Norfolk. Van. his native home. Mr. White is devoted to his sister, who lives in Norfolk. He told your correspondent he is working to prepare himself and sister to be comfortable in old age. He is looking forward to locating on a farm in the future. NEWSPAPER MEN HOLD MEETING. Last Tuesday evening at the Y. M. G. A. under the auspices of the Forum an interesting meeting was held by the newspaper men of the race of this city. Interesting phases of journalism were discussed by well known quill pushers of the Metropolis, and the meeting was a profitable one. The first speaker was Cleveland G. Allen, who discussed the "Mission of the Newspaper Man." N. B. Dobson of the American Press Association, outlined the policy and history of the Afro-American plate service, which he established several years ago. Jas. B. Clarke, Associate, Editor to Dr. DuBols of the Crisis, told of the good that publication was doing to ally race prejudice. Straight University, New Orleans, is spending her vacation in this city, and is stopping at the Y. W. C. A. She was formerly instructor at the Joseph K. Brick School at Enfield, N. C. Dr. Bocker T. Washington will make an educational pilgrimage through the State of Maryland the early part of September. Your correspondent had a special article in the Sunday New York World on the work of the Housing Bureau of the Urban-League on Conditions Among Negroes. John H. Walter, a student of Lincoln University, is making a record at that institution. He won the Junior prize on oratory last year. He was formerly a student at Virginia Union University at Richmond, V. John B. Henderson, of Washington, Pa., has taken up residence in this city. He is one of the most active young men of the Metropolitan. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois is still fighting the fight of the uncompromising race. MIXED BOUTS RULING MAY BE RESCENDED. Boxing Commission 'to be Asked to Allow Colored Men to Meet Whites. —Lanford After Gunbust.—If Tar Baby Beats Joanne the Wants to Tackle Smith in Garden. With Jack Johnson permanently out of the country, the State Athletic Commission, it is reported, soon will vote to reinclind the rule prohibiting bouts between Negroes and White men. Persons who have studied the rule from a legal point of view say that if a colored boxer, thus debarred, should appeal to the courts he would stand an excellent chance of getting a verdict in his favor. The commissioners passed the rule to prevent the appearance of Johnson in a contest with a white heavyweight simply for the reason that the Negro champion's moral status was objectionable. There was no intention to offend the colored citizens of this community, it is said. Sam Langford and Joe Jeannette colored heavyweights, are extremely popular with the American boxing public. Their habits are exemplary and both are drawing cards. For that reason the Garden A. C. has arranged a ten round bout for them to be decided next month, the idea being to match the winner with Gunboat Smith, who has laid claim to the white hope title. But before such a bout can be arranged, the State commission must take action and it is understood that the Garden A. C. will ask to have the rule revoked against mixed contents. Smith and his manager have expressed a desire to box Langford, and the Tar Baby confident of defeating Jeannette is eager to sign articles. The Gunboat's argument that he could accomplish more in a twenty round bout with Langford on the Coast than in a battle half as long in this city will not hold water, sporting men say, so that if the commission allows a ten round bout Smith will be placed on the defensive. Meanwhile Smith and his manager are hard pressed by Tom O'Rourke, who looks after the affairs of Al Palzer. O'Rourke has been vainly trying to arrange a match with the Gunboat ever since the latter stopped Jim Flynn. Smith's manager has insisted that Palzer, in order to secure the bout, must first knock out Frank Moran when they meet at the St. Nicholas A. C. on September 3. O'Rourke, in a tart reply to this stipulation, points to the fact that Smith failed to stop Moran. In twenty rounds on the Coast last winter and made such a poor showing that he was roundly scored by the California fight critics. Smith not only couldn't put Moran away but he was lucky to earn a decision on points in a twenty round battle with Jes Willard. For that reason O'Rourke argues that in whipping such men as Bombardier Wells, Rodel and Flynn, the Gunboat didn't accomplish anything particularly wonderful. Palzer and Smith would prove a strong card and there seems to be no valid reason why the bout should not be arranged. Sunday School and Epworth League Convention at Asbury M.-E. The 23rd Annual Session of the Alexandria District Conference Sunday School and Epworth League Convene will convene in Asbury M. E. Church, 26th St. between N and O Streets, August 26th to 31st, Irving M. Carpenter, Pastor: Mississippi Prepchie and Berthel King have returned from New York after a month's star. Mrs. Bentwood Coughlin Phinney died at 71 hours in Mineau's Town, Cham- terford Co. No. 147 Wednesday J. Pinley Wilson Named for G. E. Ruler of Elks. Norfolk, Va., Aug. 18.—The Virginia Delegation of the Independent Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World with J. Finley Wilson, Grand United Deputy, Organizer and Associate Editor and Manager of the Baltimore Times, as its chairman, is making preparation to attend the Grand Lodge of Elks which meets in Atlantic City, N. J. August 27th. The delegation is strong in its support of Deputy Wilson for Grand Exalted Ruler of the Order. During his administration as Grand Organizer he has added more lodges and member than any other man, breaking all previous records. He is also strongly supported for the position by the District of Columbia and Mary land delegates. It is authoritatively stated that Mr. Wilson has a good running chance and will be a popular favorite at the convention. His friends all over the country are urging him to accept the nomination. When about to leave Norfolk today to attend the business League and Press Association which meets in Philadelphia, he talked favorably on the subject saying that altho his friends were urging him for the place he had not given them a definite answer as to whether they could use his name. The delegation feels sure that Mr. Wilson will accept the nomination if tendered him and are planning to nominate him before the convention. A very large number of Richmond's best citizens, both ladies and gentlemen witnessed the annual game of baseball between the agents of the Southern Aid and Richmond Beneficial Insurance Companies, Friday; August 15th on the Union grounds. Interest in the game was at fever heat, as the Southern Aid had defeated their opponent in the last game played. As the Richmond men put five runs over in the very first inning, they looked like auto winners; but true to that well known habit of coming up from the rear in all emergenics, the Southern Aid boys landed taking their half of the ninth inning. Score: Southern Aid, LI; Richmond Beneficial, 9. Batteries; Southern Aid, Law and Perkins—Richmond, Scott, Gilpin, Jackson; Scott, Henderson. Umpires—Mr. Floyd Ross and Dr. J. C. Carper.

Bound the corners below out the neck, bind the edge and attach strings to the neck and waist. They can be easily adapted to children of different ages. Beep buildings can be thrown, screws sprinkled and balls called in a tab without fear of the children getting out. SENATOR TILLMAN ON THE BRYCE EVIL Taking up the divorce evil and the effect that equal suffrage may have in increasing the number of divorces, Senator Tillman said: "I thank God my lot was cast in a State where there is no such thing as divorce. In South Carolina we do not believe in the modern idea so prevalent in this day of permitting a man to marry a woman in her youth and beauty, and then, when her face becomes shrunken and her eyes dim, to search out among his woman acquaintances some young and burrow girl who suits his lustful eye, and straightway sets to work systematically to force his old wife to seek a divorce. "It appears to me that the relation between votes for women and divorce if not one of cause and effect, is at least one of mutual acceleration. "The demoralization and consequent degradation produced by the divorce evil are illustrated by the notorious Diggs-Caminetti affair in California. The ease with which divorces are obtained in Reno led to that place being selected as the one to carry the two respectable girls from Sacramento, and the promise to marry these women after divorces were obtained no doubt had much to do with overcoming their acruples. Such a tragedy in domestic life could not happen anywhere in the South, even in those States where divorces are obtained. SHOOT THEM LIKE DQGS. "We have bad women in South Carolina and throughout the South. But the habits of our people and their customs, inherited from our forcathers, make it dangerous to 'monkey with men's wongening.' Some Northern people call 'barbarians. If the California men had our customs Diggs and Cannetti would not be alive now, because they would have been shot like dogs, and the fathers of the girls they have ruined would be acquitted almost without the jury leaving the box. "The unwritten law in the best law to protect women's virtue that I have heard of. The more I think about the Diggs-Caminetti case the more outraged I grow at the state of morals and society which not only permits such crimes, but encourage them. I am too much of a savage myself to think upon such things with calmness. "Among our very rich people in America degeneration has gone so far that swapping wives is a common practice. The women are just as bad as the men." —Mrs. William E. Lewis of 2515 Rainbridge St. is conflued to her home by sickness. —Mrs. Diley White and two children left this week to visit their cousin, Miss Overby in Claremont, Va. —Mrs. Hanaloy C. Burford and baby are visiting relatives and friends in Waynesboro, Va. —Miss Helen Osborne left the city this week to visit her mother, Mrs. Osborne in Wakefield, Va. —Mr. James Johnson continues very sick at his home in Old Dominion St., Southside. —Mrs. Elia Anderson of Washington, D. C. is attending the session of the St. Lukes this week. She is the guest of Mrs. A. E. Taylor, 1401 W. Leigh St. —Rev. S. W. Smith, D. D., Pastor of the Congdon St. Baptist Church of Providence, R. I. and Editor of the R. I. Independent is in the city attending the 46th session of the St. Luke's Convention. He has been elected Grand Worthy Prelate. —Mr. Charles 8 Smith, publisher of The Twin City Star, at Minneapolis, Minn., called oh us. He will visit Atlantic City, New York and other cities before his return home. He was born in Petersburg, Va., and he has been visiting his birth place. He is Secretary of the National Negro Press Association. Quite an enjoyable time was spent last Monday night at the home of Mr. W. E. L. Smith, 109 E. 17th St. Southside. The usual table-de-boat was served and the following names were javelin from; until the wee end: Merrill, Oscar Howell, Junius Foulke, William Bailer, Wunley Coleman, John B. Hall, Jr., Thomas Gray, Bunny G. Burbridge, Eddie and Chrissie Moore, Charles Robinson and Susan W. Burbridge. (Cambridge, Mass. Advocate.) The jubilations of Senator Vardaman of Mississippi, Hoke Smith, and some other genators over the "Patterson incident" put up to the administration the duty to democratic ideas that Grover Cleveland sturdily exemplified in a like case. It was then, and a case of appointment of a Negro to the position of Register of the Treasury that it had become the custom to fill with some representative of the race. Cleveland's first appointment, after a long struggle, was refused confirmation by the senate. Then the president sent in the name of another Negro and won by the aid of public opinion. President Wilson had not the same chance to make the issue because his appointee, Adam E. Patterson of Oklahoma, requested his name to be withdrawn, and for the life of us we don't see how any Negro with any self-respect or manhood or race pride could accept the office under the conditions which caused James C. Napier to resign. Wilson then appointed Gabe N. Parker a Choostaw Indian. And Vardaman makes the action warrant for declaring that no Negro shall be appointed to any executive office in which there may be white employees subordinate to him, that entire separation of the races in federal employment must come, and the integrity of the Anglo-Saxon race depends on the "fairful consummation" of this program. Unfortunately, this idea has already been adopted in some of the departments. It is undoubtedly an awkward matter to deal with, in view of the Tooling of southerners on the subject—which, however, has its answer in the fact that they do not object to close association with Negro in any inferior or mental relation. It is only when it is on a basis of equality that their ite is aroused. But social equality is one thing and political equality is another. It is worthy to be appointed to a public all, he is worthy of the same treatment in it as anyone else. "A man's a man for a 'that.' And it is denial of primary democratic principles to take any other ground. Most colored people like to look right and they know they cannot with scanty hair. Stop your hair from falling out. Send me One Dollar for a recipe for making a preparation that has never failed. Easy to make and at small cost. A. DUER, Box 35, Cape Charlotte, Va. Chicago, August 15.—William H. Lee, head of a publishing firm, who lived in Chicago as a white man and died apparently without heirs, was claimed in the Probate Court today by Lucinda Anderson, a Negress of Benton Harbor, Mich., as her husband. Lee began his career in a small New Hampshire town, after serving as waiter in the Civil War to a Confederate officer. In a petition filed for the claim, it is explained that the publisher's real name was William A. Anderson, that he was a Negro, though he deserted his wife thirty years ago. The woman lays claim to the estate of the late publisher. It was valued at first at $200,000, but as much of it was in plates of value to Leeds in plates of interest, the publisher has been estimated at $20,000. Lee or Anderson, never talked of his personal affairs, and his antecedents were a mystery when he died. The woman makes the certification by means of newspaper photographs which she has seen. The body will be exhumed to allow her to confirm her identification. LIST OF GUESTS AT HOTEL DALLE DURING WEEK OF AUGUST 14 Philadelphia, Pa.—Mrs. Chas.

Parents are asking themselves that question at this time and, perhaps, a few suggestions may be appropriate here. First, you want to select a school where is a healthy moral atmosphere—one where no effort is made to influence the student's religious opinion for or against any denomination but where the highest Christian standards are maintained—where the study of the Bible, and divine service are a part of the student's daily life. Second, you want to make sure that the school to which you send you child is up to standard in its academic course—that the time a boy spends there is going to be worth while and that the course of study and instructors are strictly first class. Third, you want to make sure that the school is prepared to teach something more than what is found in books, in other words, to teach a boy a useful trade so that he may become a productive member of society. The above three things are absolutely essential in a school of today because they are the very base of our conception of what education must do for the individual of this generation—Training the head to know, the hands to skill and the heart to respond to right motives. Having settled the above points in your mind, you will want to know next, how much will it cost? Clearly one must select a school where the cost is within the limits of one's means. And in this connection if you can find where provision is made for a student to help himself by working out a part of his expenses you will naturally want to do so. We suggest that you write to the Principal of the Christiansburg Industrial Institute, Cambria, Va. The school has the following things to be said of it which should claim your consideration: 1. It is non-sectarian, but is thoroughly christian. Maintained and managed by Quakers, which is a guarantee that it has high ideals. 3. It has in active operation the following industries with a competent instructor for each: printing, carpentry, shoe-mending, agriculture, sewing, cooking and millinery. Each department fully equipped. 4. All students may work out some of their expenses, and some students can work out all of their expenses. 5. Write to the Principal for terms of admission. Catalogue sent on request. Address E. A. LONG, Principal, Christiansburg Industrial Institute, Cambria, Va. OFFICERS SAVE COLORED MEN FROM MOB. Three Men Seriously Wounded During Attack on County Jail at Spartanburg. Spartanburg, S. C., August 18,—Three men, Frank Eppley, J. C. Owensby and, John Turner were seriously wounded tonight when a mob stormed the county jail in an effort to lynch Will Fair, a Negro prisoner, charged with attacking a young white woman near here today. Sheriff White and a deputy, facing the mob alone, repeatedly drove them back with pistol shots when they advanced with battering rams. Members of the mob finally returned the fire, and in the darkness the three men were struck. They were not fatally wounded, but were taken to a hospital. The young woman was attacked in pital for attention, a lonely farm house this morning in the absence of her husband. Several charges of dynamiting were exploded late tonight by the mob in an effort to enter the jail. After they had blown a portion of the outer wall they were impressed by the show of strength inside the jail and retired, but threats were made to return later with nitroglycerine, which they proposed to obtain from a railroad construction camp. Hundreds of pistols and rifle shots were fired when the dynamite was let off, but so far as can be learned no others were injured. Governor Blease was appealed to late tonight to call out the militia to protect Fair. He refused, but announced that he would order a special term of court to try the Negro. --- Dr. I. J. Kane, Thomas A. Carr, S. V. Roberson, J. H. Hill and Royal Jackson of New Orleans. La. were in attendance at the session of the Brothers and Sisters of Love and Charity. For a considerable number of years we have been under the impression that we knew something about the possibilities that lie in ragtime singing and dancing. 'We were wrong; we knew nothing about the subject until last night, when an organization of Negroes, called "The Frogs," enlightened us. Before an extremely large audience in the City Auditorium, one whole section of which was reserved for whites and, by the same token, filled by them, while almost all of the other 3,300 seats in the building were occupied by the best element of the colored people in America, this vaudeville-innstrutroupe of men and women gave a performance that was genuinely noteworthy in many respects. In the first place, it was absolutely clean, literally clean. Think of being able to say that of one of our own minstrel shows! Secondly, it was hilariously amusing. one of the funniest, cleverest all-raund, performances that I have seen in many a day, and finally, it was at times both artistic—and the word is used advised. Also, while it may not be inumbent to speak of the difference, it is impossible to refrain from hoping that some day the Academy will house an audience for a minstrel show that will conduct itself with such perfect decorum as did that which filled the Auditorium last night. Because of an incomplete program and the failure of the management to announce many of the acts, it is, unfortunately, impossible to mention by name several of the cloverest of the entertainers. It is quite safe to say, however, that the famous Bert Williams was among the most important from the standpoint of the audience at least. The old man's name drew strongly, no doubt, but the old man did very little work. But the audience knew: there were other men in the troupe who kept the house in a roar during every minute of their stay on the stage. One Bibby Harper and his side-partner, Allie Gillam, were conspicuous among these. Both natural comedians and both skilled in the tricks of provoking laughter, they were greeted upon their every appearance by great waves of spontaneous mirth. S. H. Dudley, who worked with Williams during the big man's brief act was quite amusing as his better-known partner. A big fat man, got up like Dockstander, and his transmute, the best Chinese character that I have seen—I think they were Connor and Man—got off a patter act that was so good that it went a bit over the head of the audience, partly because of the remarkable guturalization of the Chinese imitator. A tall, heavily-built Negro, without makeup, imitated everything from a musquito to an automobile, and danced with the grace of a Russian, while another, one Harrison Stewart, sang, from a song, a song so amusing and cleverly sae that it hadn't half enough verses. Then five men and five women showed what may be done in the way of ensemble dancing, and one woman presented an exceedingly artistic solo dance, both the chorus and solo dances being performed to weird and beautiful accompaniment in Mexican, or Spanish style. And through it all, the best minstrel orchestra that has been heard here in my day played on—just played on—the conductor proving what may be accomplished with an orchestra as an accompanying instrument. Only the afterpiece was a disapointment; the rest of it was a treat.

McConaughey of the Successful New Play by Harriet Ford, Harvey J. O'Higgins and Detective William J. Burns. In Which Robert Hillard is Appearing :: : Copyright, 1912, by Journal-America car-Examiner. SYNOPSIS James Argyle, wealthy and eccentric, is shot dead in the library of his New York home. His only son, Bruce, an art historian, is in the ward, Miss Mary Marquet, are suspected. Anole Kayton, a detective of reports, is called in. He is given carrie blasbe as to expense and told to run down the murderer. The library where Mr. Argyle was shot is opened. Kayton and his assistant, Manning, arrives at Argyle's apartment. They question Minke but refuse to search finger prints in the hope of finding a clue. The detectives find a woman's finger prints on the library table. Mrs. Wyatt, Miss Marquet's companion, tells Kayton that the girl's mother was a Mrs. Nelle Marach of San Francisco. Kayton learns from the servants that the girl's mother must have been committed. In the dead man's desk he finds an unusually fine counterfeit $10 bill. Bruce Argyle comes in. He tells Kayton of the evening of the murder. He reluctantly he admits before him the upper hall on the fateful night. Miss Marquet, pals and worm, enters. Miss Mazuret unwillingly tells Kayton that she had heard angry voices late that night and had thought that Brune and his father were quarrelling. She admits that she knew of the will being in her favor. She telephones Chief Wilkens of the United States Army, the mysterious counterfeiter. Later he inserts, a "take" advertisement in one of the newspapers in the hope of locating Nettle Marsh. Hurley calls on Kayton in his office and inquiries about the "take" advertisement. He is told it concerns a large legacy for Miss Mazuret, a cisco informs Kayton that Nettle Marsh had been in prison with her husband, a Dr. Kwister, the head of a band of counterfeiters. Mrs. Marsh answers the "take" advertisement in person. She is known as Mrs Martin, she tells Kayton, and keeps furnished books and the treasure record of her father and the treasure record with her to take Miss Mazuret as a roomer. Miss Maureset is told that Mrs. Martin's finger prints are identical with those on the library table. With some apprehension the girl goes with her. Kayton and his assistant go to the office for countertreats return they install a dictograph. Then Kayton goes to Miss Maureset's room. Returning to the house, Mrs. Martin pleases with her husband, Dr. Kreisler, to give up his evil profession. He refuses, but says that if he is taken again he will kill himself. Hurley enters and upbraids Mrs. Martin for harboring Mrs. Maureset, which the dictograph recounts. CHAPTER XII. Hurley's Visit. AFTER he had gone Krelsler laughed to himself and slowly rocked the little gutta perch tray he held on the table before him. Mrs. Martin, who had lain on the lounge, watched him for a time in silence and at last arrose with a deep sigh. Krelsler heard. The "cradling" stopped instantly, and he looked up with a complete softening of his entire countenance. "My dear heart, you are very tired," he said tenderly. The woman walked slowly over and stood beside her, looking down with love and dread in her eyes. He slipped one arm around her and rocked the tray with the other. "Friedrich," she said suddenly, "I want to give it all up. Let's go." "I don't know, Friedrich. I’m terri- ly afraid. I’m panic stricken! There’s been too much—too much—Argyle’s death" "S-sh!” he interrupted sternly. But the woman’s terror were upper- moat. “And that morning with the de- tectives” she wont on, with a shudder. “Ah. I shouldn’t have gone there.” “That was Hurley!” growled Kreis- ler, with a frown. “That was his rash advice!” “No,” said Mrs. Martin after a little pause: “I risked” it myself—for the money. Honest money! I wanted to be able to say to you: “Here, now we have enough.” Let us cut loose from this life—all these people. Friedrich, I want to be safe!” He took her hand and patted it softly. "They are foolish little fears," he said gently. "Think how we are already safe. And think of all the years that I have spent to make us safe. Look at it!" He lifted a hundred dollar gold certificate from the table. "It is perfect! I could pass that to the experts at the treasury. It will be the first time in the history of the world and"—he struck his chest, and his eyes flashed—and it is I who shall do it. In a few weeks the whole country will be flooded with them—Chicago, Denver, San Francisco, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Boston, New York—all on the same day. Then we shall go, with the whole world for our playground! But the woman could not be warmed with his enthusiasm. She shivered and her eyes rattled about the half lit room with a haunted, terrified look. Kreisler's head mash slowly, and he stared darkly at the table from under his bum, hatted brown. "I shall never go to prince again," he said slowly and continuously. "If I am caught!" He felt her shoulder and stepped in the middle of the sentence. "I hope to. God you'll kill me, too, then, Friedrich!" she died. "I'd never have the courage to kill myself, and it would be the end of everything for me." He rose and put both hands on her shoulders and gazed long and earnestly into her face. "Ah, you are a great soul!" he breathed passionately. "You give up everything for me! You leave everybody; you give up your little daughter; you share prison with me." And I! He made a gesture of bitter despair and self reproach. "I take—take—take! I am the selfish one! And now, when I say I would take my life, you would share death with me. Ah, you are the great soul!" He turned back to his work to hide the working of the deeply lined face. The woman, too, moved off as if her emotions were too strong to control. She leaned on the mantel and stared into the blackened fireplace in silence for some time. "Oh, if I could only make you feel as I do!" she exclaimed in dreary despair. "I'm so oppressed. Friedrich" she turned to him again. "This is a great thing that you have invented—this process of color photography. Think what can be done with it! It would mean millions to you—and fame." "Yes, my love," he replied gently, but shook his head. "In an honest world—yes. But they would chent me. They would stall it. And, see, I must have money to finance it, to protect it. Then, when all this blows over—in Germany, perhaps. Who knows?" The buzzer sounded loudly, and he looked up. "That must be Skidd," he muttered, and walking quickly to the door, he opened it and slipped out into the dark hall. He called softly and there was a confused murmur from below. Then he returned with heavy frown on his face. "No, it is Hurley," he exclaimed. "Hurley," echoed Mrs. Martin, star A "We shall be hunted always," she declared. tled. "He ought to know better than this. He oughtn't to come here." "It must be because Gage telephoned to him about the girl," ventured Kreisler. "Oh, yes," agreed the woman, greatly relieved. "But the frown did not disappear from Kreisler's face. "Always he is finding fault with things we do," he grumbled. "And it is he who makes the mistakes." At that moment the lawyer, his evening clothes, stepped in at the door, followed by Gage. "You are wrong to come here!" declared Mrs. Martin abruptly. "What's this about your bringing a strange woman here?" demanded the lawyer, his manner more abrupt than the woman. "That's all right," declared Mrs. Martin. "You needn't worry about that. I know what I'm doing." "What are you doing?" he demanded roughly. "Do not be so rude," interposed Kreisler with dignity. "She will explain to you." "Friedrich," said Mrs. Martin quietly, "you and Gage go downstairs and let me talk to him." "But my dear," protested the artist, with a gesture toward the table. "I cannot leave all this here." "Well, I guess my seat's wanted," snapped Gage, making for the door. "I suppose when it's time for me to know what's gone on in this attack I'll be tipped off by the bull on the beat." "Well, who is it?" demanded Hurley, after Gage had vanished. "It's Miss Maxine—" "What!" exclaimed Hurley, the color stricken from his face in an instant. "Kayton asked me to take charge of her," explained Mrs. Martin simply. "My God! Are you crazy?" gasped the lawyer. "It would have been crazy to refuse," returned the woman as quietly as ever. Hurley swallowed hard and bit his lip. "This is a plant," he declared in a hoarse whisper. "But, listen." "The one person in the world that you should have kept furthest away from." "Oh, do not talk. Hurley" broke in Krabbel with impatience and contempt. "Listen, listen." Hurley gulped again, but made no he always go," declared Kreisler darkly. Hurley had been gradually pulling himself together, and as he listened to Mrs. Martin's even voice he lost some of the ghastly look that the announcement had brought to his face. "Hold on!" he exclaimed. "Wait a minute. What was that? Do you mean to tell me that he's using us to throw the real criminals off the track?" "Yes," replied Mrs. Martin, her lips twitching faintly. "Well, by Jove," exclaimed Hurley, his voice cracking with the excess of relief, the strong reaction from his terror of a few moments before. "Never sleep Kaytoul" he crowed and burst into a hearty laugh. "Hurst he wonderful, this great detective? Oh, it's all advertising—be's a pinhead! If he knew the kind of heresy they have in some of these lodging house mattresses, eh, Krusiel!" "Hush!" warned the German. "Not so loud." But Hurley was irresponsible. "Have you seen the paper?" he chuckled. 100 "They're full of her slight. Everybody is now sure of her guilt." "How terrible?" shuddered Mrs. Marriot, with a catch in her voice. "Who is it that Keyton suspects?" "How could you guess?" laughed Hurley scornfully. "A man with a mind like that! I judge he thinks it's Bruce—because he hasn't taken him into his confidence and the boy's distracted. He's got the whole city searching for her!" "Friedrich," exclaimed the woman as if suddenly seized with a terrible dread, new and overpowering. "If they never find out the truth they'll never clear her. And if they do find out!" The hiatus was sternly imperative. Hurley abrugged his shoulders. "Oh, Keyton will cook up some story to cover his failure," he said lightly. And, laughing quietly, he went out and down the stairs to the street. He did not know that in the upper room of the house next door Manning was swearing at him softly, while two of his associates read his shorthair notes over the boy's shoulder. Manning revered his chief. When the street door had closed Kretsler looked at Mrs. Martin and shook his head soberly. "He should have kept away from this detective," he declared uneasily. "It is a bad thing when a man is too bold from apprehension. He should not sniff around traps." The woman did not seem to bear. "Friedrich," she cried distractedly. "what have I done to Mary? I have tried to keep our lives as far apart as I could, but it seems as if the devil had drawn us together—to ruin her." "It is not so," he assured, her gently, taking her in his arms. "It is the luck of the game, just a little bad luck: It will pass." "Oh if you'd only listen to me!" she moored. "If you'd only come away if you'd only come away—" Buzzr! warned the buzzer from above the door. "Who is that?" she demanded quickly. He could feel her turn right in stone in his arms, and he patted her cheek with his hand. "It must be Skidd," he said quietly, and, releasing her, went to the door and softly opened it, listening to the sounds from below. "Yes, it is be," he said, and frowned slightly. "Gaze is with him. I'm afraid Skidd has been drinking." CHAPTER XIII. THE entrance of the two wester- members of the confederacy was somewhat tumultuous. Gage burst into the room cha- tering loudly like a monkey fla- sion. Submission to the Ridgman PLAN HT. $1.99 per year in advance ```markdown ``` *Friedrich* she oried, what have done to Mary. Friedrich" she arried, "what have I done to Mary." Was followed by a thick set, coarse young man, very much the worse for Greewitch village whisky. Mrs. Martin and Kreisler eyed them coldly, unmoved until Gage managed to sputter out: "This house is watched!" "Friedrich" casped Mrs. Martin. At the word he constant years became fulfilled prophecies of evil. But Kreiler's pale gray face remained calm. "Nonsense!" he said doubtingly. Gaga, without waiting for comments began feverishly opening secret cache and packing his belongings in a small case. Skidd lurched forward against the table and brought down his face with a crash that spattered acid about "Don't you?" he demanded, drunkenly. "Well, do you believe I'm drunk?" The German's disgusted growl was sufficient answer. "Well," went on Skidd, "they didn't get me so drunk I couldn't keep my eyes on them." He dropped into a chair, grumblin defiantly. Mrs. Martin approached him tremulously. "What is it? What has happened?" "Some one is on us" snapped Cage without turning his head. Skidd was驶 his hand for silence and told his history with the exaggerated impressive name of the importantly drunk. But it was noose the less alarming. "A wise young guy tried to warm up to me in a saloon," said, while Kreisler and the woman listened closely. "and I couldn't get, him drunk. And, believe me, there's something doing when I can't get a man drunk. And there's a new newsboy over the corner. That's durn funny, now, aln't it? Without the slightest hurry or expression of alarm Kreisler began packing his things away in their hiding places. And Skidd, proud of the impression he had made, continued: "And what I want to know is, Are they after us or are they after that new skirt you've got in here? Who she? be demanded, glaring at Mr Martin. "What's she wanted for?" "She's all right. Skidd." Mrs. Marti assured him, watching Kreisler at his swift and silent work. "She's up wanted for anything. I know all about ber." "Well, what's she so-so-myster ous about herself for?" demanded Skidd. "What do you want to kre her shut up in that room for all time? I may be drunk, but I ain't drunk I can't be suspicious. I want to see that girl" "That is impossible," declared Mrs. Martin firmly. Gage stepped forward and took the drunken man's arm. "You better go down and hit the bay, Bill," he suggested. Skidd, blinking at him affectionately, instantly turned from his former design. "D'you think I better, Slimmy?" he inquired. Without answering him Gage pushed him out of the door and returned. Kreisler was grumbling savagely under his breath. Then Gage declared himself, shifting nervously from one foot to the other as he talked. "Well, I fly this coop in the morning," he declared—"early mornin'! We're nothin' but a pack of deuces. Skidd pickled, your pocket picked and a peticat down in the parlor that you can't get introduced to! Me for Philadelphia!" Kreilers' lip curled contemptuously, "I would advice then, Mr. Gage," he began, "that you take"— The door burst open, and Skidd staggered into the room. All three started at the expression of his round face. The drink had dived from his eyes. His skin was pink and white and the whole expression was one of utter terror. "Mrs. Martin," he gasped, "there's a man—there's a man down there!" Before any of the three could recover the power of speech there was a sound of quick, firm footsteps and a rattle of skirts, and Kapton strode into the room, followed by Miss Mazuret. The detective's eyes were flashing with anger as they ranted ob Skidd. The others, anne, Mrs. Martin, he ignored. "What do you mean by trying to force your way into this young lady's room?" he demanded, advancing threateningly as Skidd retreated before him. Mrs. Martin, is this the sort of protection to have in your house? The German swiftly seized him by the arms in a powerful grip that imposed silence. "Mr. Kidd, go to your room." ordered Mr. Martin severely. She rose to the situation intimately and turned to Kaytee with a half apologetic manner. Kayton drew eyes and lowered his voice. "I can't get her away." he said. "This house is being watched." Unknown to herself Mrs. Martin's hand new to the collar of her dress. "What do you mean?" she asked fatigently. "It has evidently leaked out that she is here," replied Kayton. "They may be reporters; they may be police detectives. Bruce has the whole force searching for her. I can't take her out without betraying my hand, and she can't go alone. Isn't there a back way that you could escape with her to a hotel?" "It's impossible." "Mrs. Martin, the men who are watching this house are operatives of the government secret service," said Kayton swiftly, and the woman choked back a cry. "Some one living here has been uttering counterfeit money. I cannot have Mayszurt involved in a scandal of that sort. I didn't tell you at once because I didn't want to alarm you unnecessarily." "My God!" mossed the woman, her hands pressed to her face. Kayton watched her for a moment in a dead silence. Thelise made a quick rush for the door, but he barred the door, but he barred the law in this matter." She stared at him, and her lips barely moved as she asked, "Who is it?" "I am not allowed to tell you." Her eyes questioned again, but he shook his head. "I advise you to go with Miss Maxurret. Will you?" "No!" she gasped defiantly. His jaw clicked, and he stared at her moment from under narrowed lids. "Very well, then," said he quietly. "Sit down a minute." Mechanically she obeyed, and he stood opposite, talking to her across the table, his back to the closed door. "Mrs. Martin, my own men are watching the house. The personal which you answered was a plant." She half started up with an exclamation and then sank back an if crushed. "I discovered that your husband, Dr Kreisler, and yourself are engaged with others in a ginicat counterfeitting scheme. Now, Mrs. Martin, I cannot make you any promise of immunity from prosecution, but you know that if you do what is right by assisting the law: that fact will be taken into consideration by the prosecuting officers. I may be able to assist you there, but in return you must do something for me." He paused and waited. "What?" naked the woman, almost inaudibly. He leaned toward her and in a low, steady voice: "I want to know who killed James Argyle?" The woman spring to her feet with a half smothered skirt and faced him with wildly stirring eyes. "Why do you ask me that?" she cried. "I don't know! I don't know!" ```markdown ``` "I would kill him," he said. "You're the one person who does know," declared Kayton grimly. "I don't know anything about it." "You do, and you can save yourself by telling." Mrs. Martin gripped the table and leaned toward him, her eyes staring into his with the wild glare of a maniac. "I don't care for myself!" she cried. "I don't care but for one thing in this world! What are you going to do with Dr. Kreilier? What are you going to do with Dr. Kreilier?" Her voice rose panoramically, but Kayne shook his head. "I can't do anything for Dr. Kreisler, he replied brumely. "You must! You shall!" screamed the woman as the door went shut. ```markdown ``` "This man is Keynes! No else trespassed." The most helpful the door was was opened, and Skidder advanced into the room, asking gently: "Quietly, my dear, quietly. He also is in the trap. Now," he mouth not grimly, "wrote in it." Kayton felt a quick spirit of admiration—the respect for courage that a bear was always feels wherever he meets it. "Dr. Krueger," he replied almost courteously, "your wife is implicated with you and others in this counter-failing. I have offered her a chance to save herself if she will tell who committed the Argyle murder. She." Not so much as an oxyglid flickered in the German's colorless face as he interrupted quietly: "She knows nothing about it. How should she?" "She knows everything about it." rotted Kayton. "Friedrich!" cried his wife frantically. "Can't you do something?" With the speed and smoothness of a sleight of hand expert in a delicate demonstration the counterfeiter's hand went to his hip pocket. "I could kill him," he said quietly, as if trying to make up his mind. Kayton, who carried his soft dark hat in his right hand, let it fall to the floor and discloed a small automatic pistol. "No!" gasped the woman, seeking her husband's arm. With a low moon Miss Mastard, who had shrunk back against the mantel and watched the scene with staring, frightened eyes, sank unconscious on to the old oak bench. "Your daughter!" exclaimed Kayton a new tone. "She's faltered!" And for the first time in his life Kayton lost control of the situation in a vital crisis. Forgotten was the murder, the counterfeiter, his reputation, his life—everything—as he bent over the pale faced girl. Mrs. Martin seized Kreisler's arm. "He knows," she gaped. "He knows she's my daughter!" Kayton threw back his head and straightened up. "Do you think I'd have sent her here if you weren't her mother?" she snarled savagely. "You ought to have gone when I told you to. Good God! Haven't you any feeling for her at all? I might have known I couldn't trust her to a woman who left her when she was a baby for a man like Kreisler! He had apparently lost all sense of the terrible situation save in so far as the girl's name might be amiral! With a woman's quick Intuition Mrs. Martin saw and her face lt with a fierce joy. "Friedrich!" she cried, in a shrill voice. "We've got him!" The German's burning, stenody eyes had never left the defective face, but his right hand had made the trip it The Woman Throw Herself Across His Lifesize Body. started before—but this time it had fulfilled its errand. It was concealed in the folds of Mrs. Martin's skirt. "What do you mean?' he growled. "He's in love with her." Her finger pointed to the scene across the room and Kayton winced as if the hand had thrown a spear at him. "Whatever you do to me!" asked the woman triumphantly, "you'll do to her She's my daughter and I'll claim her." Kayton's eyelids narrowed, and he gritted his teeth. "You're a rotten pair!" he said slowly. But the woman was all but hysterical. "I've got her out of my life until now—and you brought her into it!" she eried. "From now on she'll get what I get." "You can't drag her so low that I won't drag her back!" declared Kayton in a tense voice. "She's accused of this murder, and the only way I can clear her is by showing you up." At the word Kreisler's right hand darted up. Kayton's lip curled, and he resisted his revolter across the door. He was a brave man: like Kreisler. "Go ahead!" he exclaimed contemptuously, walking almost up to the murge of the revolter that was held in a hand as steady as the cool mind behind it. "Shoot and she'll hang for it." He pointed to the woman that still clung to Kreisler's left arm. "And my boy will kill you and your gang like rats in a trap." The house is surrounded. There's a diograph in that window. My man fear every word we say. I have only to speak an order to have it changed. The moment you threatened to kill me they started to pull the door. someone who was in the house, and he was not in the house, but who was an engineer who lived in the city, and whose machine had given up to her own. "Do you know?" he said simply. "Put up your hands!" stopped Kayton. Kreisler glanced at him helplessly and frowned himself holding the small circle of the mouth of a second revolver. Then his eyes came back to the woman. His look at Kayton and the revolver was no more than that we give a stranger on the street. "Put up your hands!" repeated Kayton warningly. The German, ignoring him, kissed the woman's dank forehead, gently disengaged his arm and, leaving her standing rigid with eyes closed, turned his back on Kayton and walked slowly to the door. Here he suddenly threw up one hand, not both hands; there was a sharp report—and Friedrich Kreisler had accepted defeat in his warfare with society. With a low moan the woman threw herself across his lifeless body just as Manning, followed by the other members of Kayton's force, burst into the room. Kayton bent over the still insensible, girl, for an instant. Then he turned to his assistant. SPIDER'S BITE KILLS HIM Paterson Man as a Lark Sleep In a Hawmow on Vacation. As the result of being bitten by a spider, it is supposed, at Fernald, Sullivan county, Abraham Snyder, of Paterson, N. J., died on the operating table at the General hospital. Snyder was on his vacation and last Thursday went on a straw ride. Upon returning home some one struck upon the idea of sleeping in a hay mow and Snyder joined in. Early Friday morning a swelling was noticed on his lip. At Liberty, N. Y., he underwent an examination, but recived no relief. He could neither talk nor eat. He returned to Paterson on Saturday, gradually became weakened and went to the hospital for an operation. He died on the operating table before it could be performed. Don't Lose Your Grip!

TRUTH. Truthfulness is not so much a branch as a blossom of moral, manly strength. The work, whether they will or not, must lie. As respects children, for the first five years they utter neither truth nor falsehood—they only speak. Their talk is thinking aloud, and, as one half of their thought is often an affirmative and the other a negative and, unlike us, both escape from them, they seem to lie, while they are only talking with themselves. Besides, at first they love to sport with their new art of speech and so talk nonsense, merely to hear themselves. Often they do not understand your question and give an erroneous rather than a false reply. We may ask besides, whether, when children seem to imagine and falsify, they are not often relating their remembered dreams, which not necessarily blend in them with actual experience. Jean Paul Rieger. ```markdown ``` RAG BAG OF TODAY. The Modern Housewife Has Four of These Catchalls. The rug bags of today are quite as up to date as the homekeeper to whom they belong. They are not the bulgy, well filled ones that our grandmothers had that were saved for the visit of the tin peddler, when they were disposed of, for quite an appreciable amount, to be applied on new tinware to replenish the kitchen shelves. The modern bags serve quite different purposes, and four are, considered the number needed by the particular housewife, and none of the contents are for sale. One contains clean cotton rags for cleaning purposes, one is for old linen pieces for household or sickroom use, one for old soft silk and satin pieces for special dust clothes for polished furniture and one for soft sannel pieces, chamhams and old anode glove tops for silver polishers. These bags are considered valuable household assets and are kept most carefully. The common rags are disposed of daily, as they do not sell for enough to pay for the nuisance they are. If the tops of long gloves are saved they will be found most useful in a number of ways. They are good to recover nail buffers with, for foundation circles for rreteties, for fancy work cushions and needle books, to clean jewelry with and for a dozen and one other things. Flour bags after being ripped open and washed may find a resting place in the cotton bag until there are a half dozen or more, when they may be bemmed and used to cover food. GLORIFIED CUSHIONS. Lacquer Furniture Has Brought In New Pillow Schemes. The cushion has been glorified lately almost out of recognition. Once upon a time a good plain silk or satin cover was accounted all sufficient. Now cushions, or, rather, the covers, are changed at least once each sensor. The vogue for lacquer has bad its influence on the fashion in cushions. Rich fabrics are still used, but so that the attention shall not be distracted from the beautiful background of red or black lacquer with decorations of dull gold their colors must be subdued. Gold tissue shot with dark blue or purple is a favorite choice. The long THE NEWEST DESIGNS. Venetian shape is most liked, and tarnished lace of gold thread, but soft and fine in texture, is applied at the ends for, say, four inches. Gold tassels depend from each cover, and just below the "knob" of the tassel, gimped through the gold and supplying a charming note of color, is a touch of old rose ninon. Old pieces of needlework or tapestry are also applied to chiffon velvet and are outlined with wool. Wine colored velvet, it has been found, looks particularly well on a settee or chair of black lacquer. The designs seen in the cushions pictured are new and most attractive. A3 Basket Luncheon Several days before the luncheon the invitations for the affair may be placed in tiny baskets filled with flowers and left at the door of each guest to be. These small baskets may be bought at the ten cent store and covered with delicate shades of crape paper, which is frilled around the edges and wound around the handles. The dining room may be decorated with similar small baskets filled with flowers and vines, either suspended from the plate rail or otherwise hung about the room, while larger baskets filled with blossoms may be placed about the room. The table may also be decorated with vines and blossoms as desired. The refreshments may be served altogether in baskets, says the Woman's World. In the center of the table may be placed a flower decorated basket containing sandwiches of different kinds, which are passed around. The salad may be served in little baskets made of lettuce leaves, and cream cheese molded in the form of little eggs may be served in tiny baskets made of parsley leaves. Candy may also be made in small fancy baskets. Self Winding Clothing Doesn't the very name suggest a labor saving scheme?

Cheap Book For Baby. An artificial and economical as well as indestructible picture book for a baby may be made of Japanese grass cloth. This material, which may be obtained from any large wall paper concern, is very inexpensive, comes in beautiful colors and will undergo the rougher sort of handling without tearing. It is a great improvement upon the old fashioned stiffened linen books for children, which were so hopelessly丑. Choose a soft green or dull blue grass, cloth and cut it into pieces double the size of the page you intend to make. The material is a yard wide, and a yard will make a six or even an eight page book. If the pages are not large, Larger leaves, however, make a more attractive book. Fold each piece over and paste the two inside surfaces together, bringing the fold at the outer edge of the page and the cut edge at the blinding side. If preferred the pages may be simply folded and not pasted, similarly to the old linens books, but passing them together makes the book a little firmer. When the pages are cut, pasted and evenly trimmed the pictures should be pasted in. Choose beautiful pictures, in soft colors blending with the background. Even a little child's eye can be trained to appreciate good pictures rather than the gaudy, high colored ones so often given them. Do not paste pictures in zigzag or many on a page. Indeed, one picture on each page were proportioned to the size of the leaf is best. Such a book given to a baby last Christmas was made up of a series of child pictures which had been cut from a magazine. The head and tail pieces were pasted in an attractive design on the cover, and the entire book was charming. When the pages are finished blind them together at the left edge with raffia of a harmonizing shade drawn through three holes and tied in a bow. How to Select Washboards The washboard should be selected with an eye to its angles. If it be too much corrugated it will be found that the clothes will soon wear out. A wooden washboard is less harmful to the clothes than any other kind, but is unpleasant to use. The metal or glass covered boards are really the best for constant usage and will do the materials little injury if they are not rubbed too hard. A wringer will save the clothes much wear and tear, but unfortunately most of the stationary tubes are so arranged as to make the adjustment of a wringer impossible. There are several varieties of irons. The old fashioned flatirons with handles attached are the best to hold the heat, but are rather unwieldy, as they must be used with cloths to prevent burning the hands. The patent irons which have the detachable wooden handles are easier on the hands, but do not retain the heat as well. There are other irons especially used for fisting and frilling, but these are unnecessary in the ordinary household. Wax bails should be kept on hand to grease the irons. HOW TO USE A KITCHEN CALENDAR. "I can't keep house without it," said a careful housekeeper when a friend noticed the large calendar, like those used in business offices, which hung on her kitchen wall. It was a white calendar, with black figures an inch and a half large, which her husband brought from his office. On the square of the dates she marked each day the ice delivery, whether a ten or fifteen cent piece, the number of bottles of milk and dates for guests or special dinners in which the kitchen was interested. Certain evenings that she wished the girl to stay in, etc., were also marked on the calendar, which thus served as an accurate reminder to both mistress and maid. How to Use Fruit Basket These receptacles may be painted and filled with morning glories or any trailing vine and when placed in the yard will last through the season and be very ornamental. Take three fruit baskets and plant yellow myrtle around the edges and fill the centers with portulaca. They will make a pretty back yard ornament.

Apples cannot be prepared long before using, as they turn dark, but oranges may be paired, every particle of the inner skin removed, leaving only the pulp. Break this into bits, sugar and chill, then add, grapes or any other fruits liked. Pineapple is one of the best fruits for the purpose, as its flavor always adds to the delicacy of taste, and unlike most fruits, the canned is very nice. SUMMER MISHAPS. How to Relieve Stings and Sprains Which Come With Outing Days. Insect stings are among the most uncomfortable of the minor mishaps which befall the seeder for summer pleasure. Even mosquito bites sometime prove really bothering. If they are treated with applications of ammonia before they are scratched much of the unpleasant sting and burning will leave them. If they have been scratched so that the skin is broken the ammonia will burn perhaps more severely than the bite does. Salt and water is another good remedy for mosquito bites. Stings and bites of other insects are even more uncomfortable to bear than those of mosquitoes, but those of the insects in temperate climates are solidm dangerous, and unless they are in the throat or mouth they do not need the attention of a physician. If, however, a bee has concealed himself in a peach or other fruit end with a bite of the fruit reaches the throat, there to stop and apply his sting, it is well to call a physician. Such a sting sometimes produces painful and troublesome swelling. Gargle with water and salt or boric acid until the physician comes. The treatment of bee and wasp stings is similar. The bee leaves his sting in the skin; the wasp takes it with him. So the first thing to do to counteract a bee sting is to press out the sting with a watchkey, if this is possible. Salt, soda, ammonia or any other alkali should be sopped on the stung surface frequently until the stinging sensation has stopped. The old method of applying wet warts to a bee sting surely does bring relief to the sufferer, and if nothing else is at hand, mud should be applied. But HOTEL HOTEL DALE THE HOTEL CAPE MAY, N. J.

How to Go to Sleep. A man should make his toilet as carefully for going to bed as for the business of the day: Certain physical things are conducive to sleep, such as plenty of sweet, outdoor air, the absence of noises, of lights and of bad odors and, above all, a feeling of tiredness. There are also certain mental and spiritual preparations. To be intensely interested in anything is fatal to sleep; so also are the memory of a ranking failure, plan making, problem solving, apprehension, shame and remorse. The soul must take off its interestedness as the body must remove its vestments. Passions of any kind, craving and all heats are against sleep. One is very fortunate who has a habi- t of prayer, for there is nothing can still the soul like purging the con- sidence before God, and cares, pricking amnoynness, dreads and all mental ten- tions can be remedied in no way more satisfactorily than by letting the con- sciousness of God wash the soul. A sense of friendliness and peace to- ward the infinite is the surest medicine to sleep. THE ECONOMY, 316 North Third Street. FINE TAILORING CLEANING DYEING AND REPAIRING. CHITMAN M.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1913 The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has filed a protest with President Wilson against the agitation looking to the segregation of the white and colored employees in the Federal government in Washington. What action, if any, will be taken by President Wilson is not known. This protest is in line with another of nationwide scope which is being inaugurated by Editor William Monroe Trotter. The extent of the movement will be known in a few months. If President Wilson fails to heed the appeal, it will place him in a most embarrassing predicament in view of his auto-election utterances with reference to the citizens of color. The Cleveland, O. Gazette has reached its thirty-first milestone and Hon. Harry C. Smith gave in his last issue a short resume of his achievements. We congratulate him and his journal and wish for him permanent success. He and his publication have been "as true as the needle to the pole" in all matters affecting the race's welfare. True we have differed with him on minor matters, but we have always agreed with him on vital ones. He has been agitator, publisher, reformer and statesman. There are few like him in this country today and it is indeed unfortunate that his true value and service have not been fully appreciated by all of our people in this country. His way has been dark and his road rough, but success will crown his efforts after a while. THAW'S ESCAPE The escape of Harry K. Thaw last Monday from Mattteawan Hospital for the Criminal Insane adds another chapter to the career of this wealthy degenerate. He has a mania for appearing in the newspapers of the country and it is now asserted that he was just about to institute legal proceedings to secure his release from the prison walls of that gloomy prison. He succeeded in doing by soul means what he could not accomplish by fair means. There is but little doubt but what a "hide and seek" course will now be the order of the day. Men in public life fear his vengeance and Evelyn Neabit Thaw, his deceitful wife is in byterical fear over his escape. She is now on the stage in New York and there is little chance of her leaving that state to all engagements elsewhere. Should Thaw commit another murder, he would be as immune from punishment as before, and he knows it. The indirect cause of all of this is over-sidulent mother. The father wrote into his own will the verdict and she set it aside. She is paying the penalty. With tens of thousands of people he want, Harry K. Thaw is spending an allowance from his mother of eighty thousand dollars per year. No wonder the gay places of debauchery welcome him and learn with delight of his return once more to them. Truly has it been said that sins of the father shall be visited upon the children, even to the third and fourth generations. THE DECADENCE OF THE MIND. The decadence of the statesmanship and legal ability as reflected in the legislative enactments of the Congress of the United States and many of the legislatures of the several states would seem to indicate that this is an age of men with small minds. How else can we account for the senatorial tangle in the state of Alabama, due to the short sighted and defective drafting of the seventeenth amendment of the United States. The same condition of affairs exists in the state of New York, where the legislature is empowered or rather the lower branch of it, is empowered to impeach a governor by a two-thirds vote, and then in the same constitution the extraordinary session of the legislature is restrained and prohibited from transacting any other business than that for which it was specifically convened This has resulted in the formation of a dual government, two governors claiming authority in the same state. That Gov. William Sulzer is well within his rights in refusing to relegish the relief of office to Lieutenant Governor Glynn hardly admits of a question. It will require the judicial interpretation of the courts to decide the points at issue. On the other hand Lieutenant Governor Glynn is within his rights in endeavoring to exercise the duties of Governor in accordance with the mandatory provisions of the New York constitution. What is the cause of all this? The short-sighted vision of the framers of the constitution who did not foresee this very day as did the framers of the Constitution of the United States. This brings us back to our original contention that this is an era of small minds, the practical age in which great principles are left behind and right is being sacrificed to the logic of expediency. "BEEF STEW" IN NEW YORK. Beef stew as a diet will not be popular in New York hereafter. Certainly not at Child's restaurant on Broadway if we are to believe the following report which explains itself: The fact that he has no appetite for mice bolted, fried or stewed, is alleged in the complaint sworn to by Jerome Smith in a suit on file today for $10,000 damages against the Childs Company, with a meal alleged to have been served him in the Childs restaurant at No. 1233 Broadway on July 9th last as its basis. Mr. Smith's grievance is thus related in the complaint: "That on July 9, 1812, plaintiff entered said restaurant and, among other things, ordered a beef stew, which the defendant, through its servants, agents and employees, agreed and pretended to furnish plaintiff; and rendered a ticket or check therefor which plaintiff paid in money. "That plaintiff ate over half of said alleged beef stew, when he discovered a dead mouse in the stew, which was not ordered by plaintiff or on the bill of fare or embraced in his order." We have been wondering about the other customers who partook of that same beef stew. Evidently the stew tasted good to Mr. Jerome Smith for he ate half of it and this goes to show that after all mouse diet in certainly appetizing at first, even though it causes a lack of appetite afterwards. Subscribe to the Lind Was First Meeting With Pro- vocational President of Mexico and Reception is "Coronial." There is no shame face prospect of the United States becoming embroiled in a war with Mexico. The Wake House made public the substance of a cablegram from Nelson O'Sullivan, the American charge diales in Mexico City, reporting that Provocational President Huerta had officially disclaimed responsibility for the statement reported as official to the effect that unless the United States recognized his government the American diplomatic representative would be handed his passports. This was regarded in Washington as sufficient to settle the war scare that resulted from the publication of the newspaper dispatches from Mexico City regarding an "ultimatum." The White House went a step further than this as a result of a report from John Lind, the president's personal representative. Lind reported that not only had there been no ultimatum issued by Huerta, but that he had a two hours' conference with the provisional president and had found him "most cordial." This was the first time it has been admitted that kind has been in conference directly with the Mexican president. White House officials authorized the statement that hope and not been not entirely for the ultimate success of President Wilson's plan. They declared that the tone of Huerta's reply and not been final. President Wilson, Secretary of State Bryan and administration officials generally, maintained a waiting mood and counsel a late course with representatives of the foreign relations committee who agreed with them and quieted the threatened outbreaks on the Senate floor. While Huerta's rejection of the American proposal as presented by Lind was a disappointment, officials saw it as an opportunity by advice from Lind that he was continuing further with Huerta for his suggestion. Discussion of alternative measures was held in allegiance, although the proposal to permit exportations of arms to the Constitutionalists on an equality with Huerta came to the front again. O'Shaughnessy's telegram was not given out verbatim at the White House. In substance it was as follows: "Hearing of the reports which had been sent out by the newspaper correspondents in Mexico City that President Higuera had an ultimatum that the United States must recognize his government before midnight, and that in he be present this was not done I would be given my passports. I called the matter urgently to the attention of the minister of foreign affairs. He immediately took it up with President Higuera, who authorized me to make official denial of the report. "The minister of government (minister of the interior). Senior Urruita, is suspected of having given out the report and the matter is under investigation by the Mexican government." SULZER IGNORES BULING New York Executive Will Appeal to the Courts. That Governor Sizer will decline to abide by the opinion of Attorney General Carnegie, declaring Lieutenant Governor Martin H. Glynn to be the acting governor of the state, but will seek a court decision to test the legality of his investment "was the general opinion expressed in official circles in Albany, N. Y." Some of the state departments that have been wavering as to whether they should continue to recognize Mr. Sizer as chief executive are expected to follow the advice of the attorney general and accept Mr. Glynn as the acting head of the state government. Lieutenant Governor Glynn prepared to take his fight into the halls of the legislature. Mr. Glynn was expected to send a message to the legislature in his capacity as acting governor, asking for the confirmation of certain nominees of state offices. Mr. Glynn was said to have a number of senators lined up in behalf of his program. A bitter struggle is promised in the legislature, as both sides evidently have given up the idea of using military force on account of the spectacle it would afford the rest of the nation. The modern housekeeper is likely to buy a loaf of fresh bread every day at the baker's, but our grandmothers made their bread at home and used up every scrap of one baking before baking day came around again. Hero are some of the ingenious ways in which one grandmother disguised stale bread so that the most pernickety child she had would not know it from a brand new dish. Cut squares of very hard broad two inches thick, steam over boiling water for twenty minutes and serve hot with butter and inape siprup. Or cut the bread in one inch squares, put in a colander and dash cold water over them. Then fry the squares in butter until they are a delicate brown. Break two eggs over them, cook three minutes and serve immediately. This is particularly good for breakfast. Another way is to make our old friend. French or Spanish toast, which is good for breakfast or luncheon. Cut rather thick slices of bread, dip in milk, then in beaten eggs and fry a Mix together. Serve this thick soup in a pie plate, with maple syrup. If you happen to have a whole apple leaf just prior, here is a fascinating way to use it. Cut off all the crust, put it on a tui and set it on the oven to dry and brown. When it is a light golden brown it lay on the molding board and crumb fine. Then cut the crumbles leaf into pieces one inch thick and two or three inches long. Beat two eggs very light, add two cups of sweet milk and a pinch of salt, dip the pieces of bread in the mixture, roll in the fine breadcrumbs and drop them into hot lard. When they are fried a plea brown put them on a hot, dish and sprinkle thickly with sugar and a little cinnamon. A really delicious pudding can be made in the following manner: Take rather thick slices of bread from which the crust is trimmed. Butter these slices on both sides. Heat a can of rather tart red or purple plums, put a layer of fruit in the bottom of a pudding dish, then a layer of bread and butter and continue until the dish is filled. Set it in the oven for five minutes to get heated through. Then remove it from the oven, cover with a plate, put a weight on it and set where it will become thoroughly cold. Eat it with cream and sugar. Tart cherries may be used in place of plums or blackberries, and there should be plenty of juice, so that the bread may be saturated. How to Make Coffee For Two How to Make Coffee For Two. Always avoid the coffeepot immediately before using. Keep the inside of the coffeepot perfectly clean and leave the cover up and place in a sunshiny window. Never let coffee stand more than five minutes after it is boiled before serving. Buy the coffee unground and grind just before using. Is the advice given in the Women's World. The flavor of the coffee may be improved by heating the ground coffee carefully just before making. Four levees transpufuls of ground coffee, one teaspoonful of the white of egg and the crust shell of one egg. Mix with four tablespoonfuls of cold water, pour on two and one-half cupfuls of boiling water and cover closely and let boil from three to five minutes. Then add three tablespoonfuls of cold water to boiling and set the coffeepot where the coffee will keep hot, but not boil, and let stand for five minutes. Pour out a half cupful of the coffee and put it into the coffeepot to rinse down the grounds and serve at open. The first cup of coffee is considered the best.

Such, however, was not the case with Robert Maybe, familiarly known as "Poet Laurente of the Selly Isles": who died some twenty years ago at the age of eighty-two. Though quite illiterate in the ordinary sense, he composed a vast deal of poetry—not all of it exeercable and dictated it for printing. He had a remarkable memory, and if a book were read to him two or three times could repeat almost the whole of it without prompting. The merest outline of an incident would draw from him a set of verses, which he sold at a point—London Graphic. A Candy Kid, So to speak. A Candy Kid, So to Speak. In the station at St. Margaret Styria (on the frontier between Germany and Austria), an elegantly dressed couple passed through the customs office, the man carrying a child in swaddling clothes, a very elaborate outfit. Only when the pair had taken the train for Bregenz did any, doubts as to the geniusness of the child come into the customs official's mind. He immediately instituted search and discovered that the infant was a carefully concealed conceivable containing a large quantity of succharin. The "sweet baby" was at once conflated and the pair of smugglers held—Pharmaceutical Era. WHITE SCHOOL NEWS.

SAY SITUATION IS CRITICAL Strain of Rules May Debar Beef From Other Nations—Drought in Middle West Hazeng Crisis. Not only does the United States face a famine in its domestic meat supply, but its imagin rules covering meat importations may debar meat and cattle from other great meat supplying nations. The situation is critical," said Dr. D. A. Kansey, chief of the inspection division of the bureau of animal industry. "The crisis in meat exhaustion has been approaching for years, but has been hastened by the great drought over Kansas, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska, Oklahoma and the southwest. Simultaneously contagious diseases of live stock in Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and the Indies, the only other sources of supply, have developed. "The department of agriculture now has inspectors in Argentina, Australia and New Zealand studying conditions there so that we may formulate entrance inspection regulations for dressed meats and live stock. Advices indicate that in Argentina particularly there are epidemics of the virulent foot and mouth disease and ticks. The diseases will prevent the entrance of Argentina meat, for this country must protect itself. We have had several resources of this nature, and it has cost the country millions of dollars. "There is a great deal of talk about how free meat in this new tariff measure will relieve the stringency, I cannot foresee that result. Dressed beef now only carries 10 per cent duty, and even if meat is free it will have to come in under the department's meat Inspection rules, and Argentina—the greatest source of supply—at present does not live up to them. "The drought in the middle west has been most serious. It means that Mexican cattle and the grass fed cattle from the southwest that have heretofore been driven to the middle western 'fattening' corrals will have no haven. "The visible supply in the drought section is being sold by the thousand head in the open market now because stockmen have no feed and foresee a famine this winter. The immediate result of course will be a lowering of prices because the supply exceeds the demand. But later in the season, when the demand becomes greater and prices soar the supply promises to be gone." Dr. Ramsey pointed out that with excellent crops last year the meat imports for 1922 for the first time in the history of the country exceeded exports. The statistical bureau of the department of agriculture figured that the oakout for the corn crop was not much better than 50 per cent, as against more than 85 per cent last year. On Aug. 1, the date when the last official figures were compiled, the corn crop was estimated at 75.5 per cent. Since then the drought in the middle west has taken on its most serious phase and, wrought its greatest damage. Oats, it is estimated, will not yield over 80 per cent, as against 81.5 per cent last year. On Aug. 1 the percentage was 73.7 per cent, as against 90.3 per cent over the corresponding period, of 1912. During the first five months of this year 20 per cent less live stock was slaughtered than during the first five months of 1912. This decrease also occurred before the drought, when feed was idleful. Department of agriculture officials declared they saw no remedy to prevent the approaching meat famine. Sheep, hogs and cattle have greatly decreased in number, and of this balance, thousands are being rushed to the market, with no demand. Started to Dissect Living Man. With the commitment to Longview asylum, in Cincinnati, of Dr. William H. Dabney, of Martletta, Ohio, there has come to light one of the most remarkable chapters in medical history. Not until the crazed surgeon had undertaken to perform vivisection on a patient was it realized by the attendants in the operating room that madness was directing the arm and wield as it sought to uncover what organs. It was the death on the operating table of an aged and wealthy farmer, Jacob F. Schaad, that brought Dr. Dabney's career to a climax. Schaad had a tremendous growth on his upper jaw. He canaled Dr. Dabney, and was assured that a minor operation would remove the disagreement. Cestie, Jr. Dr. Dabney and the nurse, there were present, when Scha da'hl lapped into unconsciousness under the influence of an anaphylate, Dr. C. Bellinad and Dr. J. B. Perteveu, As Dr. Dabney proceeded with the knife to the two surgeons detected that the w was combatant wrist, and both began to communicate. Dr. Dabney became angry and pricked them from the operatist wound. When the two doctors had left, no caring to the nurse, who had resisted trailing beside the unconscious patient, Dr. Dabney began to direct the face and threat of the unconscious Schand. Both sides of the face were laid open and a top incisions made in the throat. But the skill of the mad surgeon was known in the derrity with which he avoided in slicing a fatal wound on his living subject. How far the crazed surgeon would have proceeded cannot be told, for the horrified nurse ran out, shrieking that Dr. Dabney was killing his patient. Her cries brought Doctors Ballard and Penrose, with several of the hospital attendants, to the rescue, and Dr. Dabney, by this time a raging maniac, grandishing his scalpel over the unconscious living subject, was disarmed and subdued after a desperate struggle. $200,000 Shortage Closes Bank. The New Jersey bank examiners have closed the Roseville Trust company, a state institution in the suburbs of Newark, and in so doing confirmed a report that Raymond K. Smith, secretary-treasurer of the institution, is missing. Smith left behind him a shortage estimated at $200,000. Smith received the examiners cordially when they came, and assisted them for a time in their work. Then he excused himself, saying he would return shortly. He has not been seen since, although it was said that he was in communication with some of the bank's officers through a third party. The trust company was opened for business in 1897. William Fairlee, vice president, confirmed the shortage, but said he could not say whether it would total $200,000 or more. Smith is about forty-two years old. In its last report, filed June 4, the bank reported assets of $1,000,694 and deposits of $702,975. It had a surplus of $20,000, undivided profits of $43,000 and a paid up capital of $100,000, all of which will be wiped out by the shortage, the department says. --- Kills Ex-Hutband and Wife. Mrs. Edna Godbee, the divorced wife of Judge W. S. Godbee, of Millen, Ga., shot and killed the judge and inflicted wounds on his bride of three months, from which she died several hours later. The Mrs. Godbee who did the shooting was the judge's second wife and had divorced him several years ago. When she met Judge Godbee and his third wife at the postoffice she drew a revolver from her handbag and fired three shots into each of them. She was arrested, charged with murder. The slain woman was formerly Miss Florence Beyer, of Youngstown, Pa. She married Judge Godbee about three months ago at her home. Woman Dice of Nose Bleed. Mrs. Katherine Guthrie, of Washington, was found dead in her summer apartments in Ashbury Park, N. J., lying in a pool of blood, with a towel tied around her neck. The authorities were inlined at first to regard the case as one of suicide or murder, but notigators believe the woman died of nose bleed, to which she was acutely subject. She was about fifty-five years old. Half a Tobacco Groop Weather conditions were against the tobacco crop in Lancaster county, Pa. this season. A wet spring delayed the planting, then lack of rain kept the plants small. The indications are that the crop will not be above half as large as it was last year. That means a large money loss, as the crop usually yields upward of $2,000,000 annually to the farmers. Horace's Kick May Kill Youth. While Frank Reed, eighteen years old, was cleaning out the stall of a horse at Summit Station, near Pottsville, Pa., the animal, in kicking at a swarm of lizies, struck young Reed's head. The entire sight of his face was caved in and the sight of one eye destroyed. Reed has a fractured skull and his life is despaired of. Goy Grasps Live Wire; Electrocuted. James Phillips, eleven years old, of Canton, Ill., was electrocuted when he grasped a live wire in a vacant lot near his home. Twenty-three hundred volts of electricity passed through his body. Bombard Shoes For Rain. Forty-five hundred pounds of dynamite were exploded at Post, Texas, in an effort to break the drought. The explosion brought clouds, but there was no precipitation.

Was Recognized on Train by New Hampshire Sheriff, Who Followed Him Across Border. Harry K. Thaw is in jail in Coatl cook, Quebec. He will be arraigned at Schoebec as a rugby from justice in the United States. The final disposition of the prisoner, however, rests with the Dominion government. Thaw was arrested at Hermene glide-Garland, a small village near Coatl cook. An hour before he had driven across the line from New Hampshire. He admitted his identity and complacently declared that he could not be extradited, as he had committed no crime. Two men, who are supposed to have accompanied Thaw in his spectacular flight from the insane hospital a. Matteswan, New York, last Sunday morning, weed in his company and were also detained. They were charged with "being under suspicion of having committed an offense in another and friendly nation." The two men, one of large build and the other a smaller man, at once retained counsel and refused to disclose their names. The $500 reward for Thaw's arrest belongs to Sheriff B. H. Kelsea, of Colebrook, N. H., who recognized Thaw on a Maine Central railroad train. After the fugitive had left the train at Herford, Kelsea pursued him to Hermanusite-Gartford, where, at the request of the sheriff, a Canadian constable played the fugitive under arrest. Hermene Jidg Garford is a small village two miles south of Conticook, and Thaw was brought to Conticook. Although he had already admitted his identity to Sheriff Kolea, he at first denied that she was the man who escaped from Mattecawan. Later he freely admitted the facts of which the police were already convinced. He said, how ever, that he would fight any effort to extradite him, and retained Attorney J. Shirliff to look after his interests. Shirliff had a long conference with his client before he was arranged at Sherbrooke. Thaw will probably be taken from Sherbrook to Montreal. Hector Verrot, king's council at Conticook, is acting for Sheriff Kolea, who is the actual complainant in the case. Kolea charged that Thaw was a fugitive from justice and demanded that he be held for the United States authorities. Had he not made inquiries of the sheriff regarding the country through which he was passing he probably would have been in Quebec and possibly aboard a steamer sailing for England, without having had his identity suspected. Thaw was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Dupey and was remanded to the Sherbrooke Jail. He will appear before Judge Mulvenn, extradition commissioner. Thaw was examined by Dr. Tremhulse, who found that he was suffering from excitement. The examination was made because Thaw looked fushed and fervish. The doctor asked Thaw to give him a thumb print impression, but this the prisoner declined to do. Harry K. Thaw escaped from the Maitteau Anawyl for the Criminal Insane at Faskill, N. Y., on Sunday morning and got clean away. Grade a were sent to arrest the fugitive on sight, and Superintendent Kleb offered at once a personal reward of $500 for the return of the prisoner. The romance of the escape involves two high-powered automobiles, four young men, well dressed and open banded, who spent several days preceding the escape in throwing money around in the bars of the village of Beacon, formerly called Fishkill. Then come carefully laid plans that times the movements of the four men in the automobiles and one other man, a chauffeur, with machine-like precision to Thaw's movements. After that comes a milk wagon entering the hospital. The milk wagon entered its regular way, the attendant stands aside. Thaw walks out to one of the waiting automobiles, is pulled in, and away. Half a mile down the road he was transferred to the other higher-powered machine, to avoid any chance of being caught. The smaller machine trails along beside the big car to stand ready in case of a blowout. The immediate pursuit amounted to practically nothing. The gateman, Howard Barnum, who has been arrested, alarmed the gate to when he saw Thaw enter the automobile. Then he ran for the nearest telephone and gave the alarm to the hospital. THAW'S CANADIAN STATUS Officials Cite Law on Persons Previously Held as Insane or Criminal. There would appear to be some reason for the belief being expressed in Ottawa. Only, that the Canadian authorities will surrender Thaw to the American authorities at some point on the New York state border. The rule under which this action would be taken provides that any person who within five years of his incarceration in a penitentiary or insane asylum, enters Canada, may be sent back as an undesirable. Officials of the justice department at Ottawa do not believe that Thaw can be detained legally at Coatcook. At the immigration department this statement was made. They can be deposited from Conti- cook at no undisputed, provided he MILH. RORA B. WATBON invites you to her Hair Parlors, $13 St. James Street.

MARY AND JOHN 1813, by American Press Association. Evelyn Neubelt Thaw, wife of Stanford White's ally, who escaped from Mt. taitwan asylum, fear Thaw most if he is drinking. "There is danger that he will not be the beginning drinking again," she said. "He may apply who could ever do an thing with him, but I was powerless when he was drinking. Here in New York, there is little to fear, but I should be afraid to go on a tour with him free." Mrs. Thaw also asserted that she had intended bringing her young son to America, but since Thaw has escaped he will now stay in England. The above picture of Evelyn Neubelt Thaw was taken on her arrival in this country from Europe recently.

NON-PARTISAN BALLOT ACT HELD VOID The act of June 2, 1913, containing the non parishian bailout feature relative to the d class cities, was declared unconstitutional in an opinion handed down by Judge John Q. Van Swearinger in Unitown, Pa. The Judge also declared that the provision relative to changing Con activities from a borough to a third class city is constitutional and directed that an election be held this fall for city officers. The opinion of the court said that the non-partisan feature was unconstitutional on the ground that the exercise of the election franchise is not within the purposes by which cities may be classified, and that if a special method of nominating and electing officers in third class cities may be maintained under the constitution, then a different method may also be used in first class cities, a different one in boroughs, in townships and in the state, which the court said was unconstitutional. SCARED BY, THIEF: DYING Fright Guests Clot on Brain After She Fights with Burglar. Mrs. Orlando Kepler, the wife of a Philadelphia manufacturer, is dying at here home from a clot of blood on her brain, caused by fright when a burglar attacked her in her bedroom late on Saturday night. When she awoke and found the intruder in her room Mrs. Kepler made an ocular and grappled with the burglar. He caught his way to a window and jumped out. After that Mrs. Kepler inaped into an unconsciousness and has been unable to recognize any. ROBERT C. WOODS. President.

The bodies of Mrs. Mary Lake and her four children, Horace, seventeen; Walter, eight; Stella, eighteen, and Dorothy, fourteen, were found naked in their Brooklyn home, horribly mangled. Beside them, dying, was the husband and father, Henry Lake, a restaurant chef. Apparently he had killed all five, then fatally wounded himself. The police say that Lake became insane through poverty, his wife's excessive drinking and their frequent quarrels. He was fifty years old and his employees say he was an earnest and steady worker. Neighbors verify the allegation that his wife drank heavily. The tragedy occurred last Wednesday. Odors from the rooms aroused neighbors, and at their request the police broke in. The apartment comprises three rooms. Horace was found undressed in the front parlor on a bed, where he had apparently been sleeping when he was killed Wednesday night. There were bullet holes in his stomach, indicating, the physicians believe, that the father in his madness, after staying with his dead a day and night, shot him a second time, as he did the other members of the family. Passing through a double door to the back parlor, Dr. Skidmore found Stella on a bed in that room, with a bullet in her head and one in her stomach. In a corner across the room, where he lay crumpled, as though he had been warding off his father's advance when shot, was the body of Walter. To the left of the boy's body was a small door leading to a hall room, where the mother of the family lay on a bed with three bullet holes in her head and one in her stomach. The body of Daddy lay beside her. Taft Forsakes Cincinnati. That Cincinnati, Ohio, has lost former President William H. Taft as its most prominent citizen has been made known through the report of a tax collector in the ward in which Mr. Taft formerly resided. The assessor reported that he had not received a report from Mr. Taft as to his taxation. The board of review took up the matter with Mr. Taft; and Mr. Taft replied that he is now a citizen of New Haven, Conn., where he already has paid his taxes. Russian Grand Duke La Here. Grand Duke Alexander Michałovitch, brother-in-law of Emperor Nicholas of Russia, arrived in New York on the steamship La France. His visit of several weeks to the United States will include a stay at Newport. It was announced that the grand duke would visit Mr. and Mrs. Barclay H. Warburton, of Philadelphia, and that the imperial visitor and Mr. and Mrs. Warburton had been friends for many years.

Kaufman's English was impractable, but his writing was impossible. It seemed to have been done with a bent plu and an asphalt mixture. George Kennedy was the only man on the copy desk who could read it. One day Kennedy came to Editor Thompson, shaking his head. "It's all off," said I. "I've lost my punch. I read this thing of Kaufman's with perfect ease until I got halfway through, and then I stuck. I don't know why. The second half of his stuff looks like the first half. But I can't read it." Thompson took that manuscript over to a corner. And by Thompson came back with lines of strain around his mouth. "But it up to Kaufman," said he. "Either he's gone floozy or we have." So when Kaufman came in they gave him his manuscript and told him to go away somewhere and find out what it meant. By and by he came back booming, "It was easy," said he. "The second part I half yoyot wrote in Danish." Argonaut. Love's Reward. The sweetest lines are those to duty wed. Whose deeds both great and small Are close knit strands of an unbroken thread.

Got In the Wrong Room In "Charles Dickens and Music" it is related that Jenny Lind was leaving a German town one morning, having created a funer the previous evening, when a band of students stopped her carriage and rushed it back to the inn, demanding to be shown to her bedroom. There they tore up the sheets and wore them as decorations. Somewhat later an Englishman at breakfast remarked to his neighbors: "You are English gentlemen, I observe. Most extraordinary people, these Germans, students, as a body, raving mad, gentlemen." "Oh no," said somebody else, "excitable, but very good fellows, and very sensible." "By heaven, sir," returned the old gentleman, still more disturbed, "then there's something political in it, and I'm a marked man! I went out for a little walk this morning after shaving, and while I was gone"—he fell in a terrible persecution as he told them "they burst into my bedroom, tore up the sheets and are now patrolling the town in all directions with bits of 'em in their buttonholes." A. Natural Mistake. Uncle Jake was employed around the house in various capacities, including that of valet to the master of the place. Came once from the city some friends of the master, with riding togs of all sorts. One gentleman in particular had a pair of riding boots, and upon retiring he placed these outside his door to be blacked. Careful of their shape, he put long wooden "trees" in them. Uncle Jake dutifully collected these boots and cared for them. The next morning he was very solicitous for the owner and sought to, aid him when he mounted his horse. The rider vaulted coolly into the saddle. "Well, sub," exclaimed Jake admirably, "you certainly gita about powerful easy for a german with two wooden lagen—yes, sulh." New York Post. Impossible A year or so ago an American student in Berlin was attending a lecture in a room drowsily close through lack of ventilation. To keep awake he be gan whispering to a German at his side the story of Mark Twain about the man who lived all his life in a chri clef of fresh air. The relatives of this man, as in well known, decided after his death to have his remains cremated, and the climax of the story occurs when the undertaker, opening the door of the oven to see whether incineration was complete, was appalled to hear the corpse speak out and request him to close the door and abut off the draft. The American spring the joke as effectively as he could, but never a smile was his reward. His German friend remained for several moments in a per pled study; then he leaned over to the American and said: "But how could that be? The man was dead!" The Governor's Order The governor of a certain state, a man of wealth, but of penitent habits, walked into a hotel in San Francisco holding his head high and with a swagger in his hair. The chief clerk, who guided himself on his extensive expenditures and boasted that he never flipped a face, hurried to greet the inaugural visitor. "The governor," he cried, "delighted that you to our little town." "He took, took, he shooted," "He insisted for the governor." "He insisted for the governor," white pardal in the clerk's car. The expression on the clerk's face changed to one of intense disappointment. He turned again to the man at the desk and called louder than before: "No bath for the governor; the governor doesn't need a bath"—Exchange. A BRILLIANT FINISH. Ampere Brought His Quiet Evening to a Starting Climax. Andre Marie Ampere, the French writer, physical and mathematical, famous for his investigations in electrodynamics, was remarkably absent-minded. Hundreds of stories of his absenteeiness are told, but quite the funniest is that of his dinner at the house of M. Fontanes, the grand master of the University of Paris. For a joke somebody had told Ampere that he must go to the dinner in his academician's uniform of green and gold and girl with his sword. When he got to the house he was very much annoyed to find everybody else in ordinary evening dress. "I will get rid of the sword at all events," he said to himself and slipped it behind the cushions of a sofa. After dinner Ampere forgot himself, as usual, and became lost in abstruse calculation. He took a little piece of chalk out of his pocket and began working out problems on the black satin cover of the mantelpiece. He be O.

I. no one was left in the room except Mine. Fontanes, and she unfortunately sat fast asleep on the sofa where Ampere's sword lay hidden. Ampere went down upon his knees and pulled gently at the sword, so as to get it away without waking the lady. He pulled and pulled, and presently the sword came out without the scabbard. At this moment Mine. Fontanes awoke and alarmed the house with her screams of terror at seeing a man on his knees before her with a drawn sword in his hand. Then the lady promptly fainted, and Ampere, still with his naked sword in his hand, rushed to the door to summon assistance. Here he was met by a crowd of servants in various stages of undress, who had been alarmed by the screams of their mistress. These good people thought the man had gone mad and raised their voices in piercing yells, which brought the master of the house. He, frightened and trembling, finally grasped the situation and quieted the excited servants and calmed the agitated Ampere, who explained matters to the now thoroughly aroused mistress of the house. Don't Repine. Act. It is ignoble to sit down and repine or even to endure passively limitation which courage, energy and faith would easily mount. A Startling Operation: A startling real estate operation is noted in the following description in a deed on record in a certain county of North Carolina, copied unchanged from the book of deeds, with the exception only of the name of the unfortunate landowner: Beginning at Beck's south corner, running thence north fifty feet, thence west fifty feet, thence south fifty feet, thence east fifty feet to beginning, this being a plot of land fifty feet square cut from the back end of the said Pemina Jones." Cause and Effect A witty bishop of one of the southern dioceses of the Protestant Episcopal church was being shown through a small college to whose board of trustees he had been elected. It was a summer day, and as the episcopal party crossed the campus the bishop noticed scores of students who had dug themselves on the grass and lay there sleeping. The scene suggested a picture of a battlefield, entitled "After the Charge." The dean, his companion, opened a classroom door. A particularly prosy professor was holding forth. "This, bishop, is math," he said in the college lingo. "Ah, yes," said the bishop. He pointed to the sleeping students. "And this. I suppose, is aftermath."—New York Post. Thought Nine Enough.

How to Make "Old" Lace Once more we have reached the point in the revolution of fashion when laces, especially the real ones, must have the old look now required by the customers in making up lace trimmed gowns. There is a way to make new lace look old, which, so far as color is concerned, cannot be told from the priceless heirlooms. All that is needed is a newspaper. Strips of newspaper are cut a trifle wider than the lace is to be tinted. To these the edges of the lace are carefully sewed. A roll of newspapers about the size of an ordinary mailing tube is then made, and the lace trimmed newspaper strips are then rolled around this smoothly. The whole is then sewed and laid away. In the course of a few weeks or months the lace will have acquired the most WHAT? I CAN'T SMORE IN THE UPPER BERTH - WE Ll. ARBITRATE THAT TOMORROW - GOOD NIGHT --- A foot "add" color.

The ways of the gods are full of providence. Thou wilt and rest from vain fancies if thou doest every act in life as though it were thy last. Find time still to be learning somewhat good and give up being desultory. A man should be upright, not be kept upright. The universe is change. Our life is what our thoughts make it. Whatever is in any way beautiful hath its source of beauty in itself and is complete in itself. Prince forms no part of it. So it is none the worse nor the better for being perished.

And come as ye were na' comin' to me. At kirk or at market, whene'er ye meet me. Gang by me na though that ye cared nae a file. But steel me a blink of your bonnie black o'e. Yet look as ye were na lookin' at me. Aye vow and protest that ye care na for me. And whiles ye may lightly my beauty a wee. But court nae another, though jokin' ye be. For fear that she wile your fancy free me. —Robert Burns. OLD AGE AND DEATH. The seas are quiet when the winds give oer; Sq calm are we when passions are no more. For then we know how vain it was to boost Of feeting things, too certain to be lost Clouds of affection from our younger eyes Conceal that emptiness which age deserves. The soul's dark cottage, battered and decayed. Lets in new light through chinks that time has unde. Stronger by weakness, wiser men become As they draw near to their eternal home. Leaving the old, both worlds at, once they view That stood from the threshold of the new. - Edmund Walker. BITS OF WISDOM.

THE DECLARATION. Upon the whole, this (the Declaration of Independence) is the most commanding and the most pathetic utterance in any age, in any language of national grievances and of national purposes, having a Demosthenic momentum of thought and a fervor of emotional appeal such as Tyranteus might have put into his war songs. Indeed, the Declaration of Independence is a kind of war song. It is a stately and a passionate chant of human freedom. It is a prose lyric of civil and military heroism. We may be altogether sure that no genuine development of literary taste among the American people in any period of our future history can result in serious misfortune to this particular specimen of American literature.—Moses Colt Tyler. THE FILIPINOS Some of our friends who are zealously advocating independence for the Philippines are not in possession of the facts. The great means of the Filipino people not only have no desire for independence; they don't even know what independence means. The Filipino idea of independence is that he ought to be turned loose to do as he pleases, with an American fleet lying outside of Manila bay to prevent anybody from interfering with him. In other words, we should be responsible for his acts and protect him from their consequences.

Clayton, member of congress from the Third district of Alabama, was named by Governor O'Neal as United States senator, to all the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Joseph F. Johnston. Mr. Clayton accepted the appointment and announced that he would leave for Washington to present his credentials to the senate. Surprise was expressed by Democratic leaders of the senate when they learned Governor O'Neal has disregard their advice by appointing Representative Henry D. Clayton to succeed the late Senator Johnston without express authority from the Alabama legislature. "It is my opinion that Mr. Clayton will not be sented," said Senator Overman, acting chairman of the judiciary committee. "The members of the judiciary committee and a majority of the lawyers of the senate were of the opinion that the seventeenth amendment to the constitution does not give the governor authority to appoint a senator except under expressed directions from the legislature." It was predicted that when Mr. Clayton presented his credentials as a senator objections would be raised immediately and the credentials would go to the committee on privileges and elections for a report. Before the news of Governor O'Neal's action reached Washington Senator Kern, leader of the senate majority, had sent a second telegram to the governor, urging him to call a special session of the legislature to grant him authority to name a senator ad interim. HELD BY MUD FOR 17 HOURS Youth Found Embedded in Ooze in River. HIS PLIGHT A MYSTERY Was Rescued From Schuylkill at Philadelphia When Water Was About His Lips—Loses Power of Speech. Peter Francis Burke, twenty years old, of 1310 North Morvine street, Philadelphia, was dragged from the mud flats of the Schuylkill river about a block below the Girard avenue bridge. When found he was embedded in the soft mud up to his neck, and the water was lapping about his lips and nostrils. In a short time, had he not been discovered, he must have drowned. Burke is a cripple and sells newspapers. How the youth got into the river is a mystery. After he was dragged out of the mud by Edward Allison, steward of the Sedgely Boat club, who discovered him, and Edward Armstrong, whom Allison summoned to his aid, he was sent to the German hospital. There he was said to be suffering from shock and unable to tell who he is or how he came to be in the river. The youth is subject to epileptic attacks. He is believed to have been in the water and mud seventeen hours. Allison was out for a morning row, when he noticed what he at first thought was a dead body lying on the mud flats, partly covered with water. He rowed as close as he could and then got out and waded to the body. To his surprise he found the youth still breathing, but seemingly unconscious. He tried to pick the body up, but found it so closely embounded by the soft veiling mold, almost like a Bill-Heads, Letter and Note Heads, Envelopes, Business & Visiting Cards, Policies, Medical Blanks, Insurance Blanks, Financial Cards, Lodge Labels, Checks, Check Books, Minutes, Pamphlets, Whole Sheet Handbills, Placards.

Armstrong went to Allison's assistance and together they dragged the youth from the mud. He had been resting on one side, with a hand under his cheek, as if he had lain down to sleep. Allison expressed the belief that only the hand under the cheek had kept Burko's nose and mouth above water until he was rescued. The youth was apparently in a stupor at first and unable to talk. At the hospital it was said that he was not injured, but was suffering severely from shock. When he regained consciousness he was asked how long he had been in the water. "Since—3—o'clock," Francis said, painfully picking out each word. "You mean 3 o'clock in the afternoon?" Francis nodded his head. After that it was impossible to get any connected speech out of him. "While you were in the water did you yell for help?" was another question put to the young man. Francis shook his head, although at that time he may not have comprehended the question. One theory is that Francis had been walking along the west bank of the river, when he ventured out on the slime covered rocks that lime the shore. It is likely that he slipped and could not afterwards extricate himself. Senator Baya Dead Magnate's Fortune Was increased by Decision. That the tobacco trust, instead of being dissolved by the decree of the supreme court of the United States, has increased its monopolistic control of tobacco manufactures, was asserted in the senate by Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, in discussing the tobacco schedule of the tariff bill. Mr. Hitchcock announced that he would late offer his amendment. He said that the four companies which formed the tobacco trust had grown richer since the supreme court's dissolution decree and that the tobacco monopoly was greater and stronger than ever. He declared that the late Anthony N. Brady probably was richer than the late J. P. Morgan, that he was one of the defendants in the tobacco trust suit and that since the decree his fortune had swelled more than $10,000, 000 through the enhancement of his tobacco holdings alone.

LANGFORD TO GET CHANCE FOR HEAVYWEIGHT HONORS Battle With Johnson in Paris Opera Opportunity for Him to Gain Claim to World's Title—Handcapped in Size, but Possessed of Unusual Cleverness. Can Sam Langford, by any possible manner, wrest the world's championship from Jack Johnson? This query is pertinent now because of the fact that Langford and Johnson practically are signed for a twenty-round contest in Paris, France sometime within the present year. The exact date for the battle has not been set, but Joe Woodman, charge d'affaires of the Langford for tunes, sends word that in all pro-bidility the great colored fighters will get together in November. There are a couple of engagements that Langford intends to fill before facing the champion, so Woodman writes, and there are a match with Gimboat Smith, out at San Francisco, and a setto with his old meal ticket Joe Jeannette. This bout is planned for Los Angeles. Neither match has been definitely closed as yet but as Smith has expressed a desire to meet the lonesome moke from Boston, and Promoter Coffroth is eager to stake this battle there seems little chance of the match falling through. LANGFORD ENIGMA OF HEAVY WEIGHTS. Langford is the enigma of the heavyweight class, and not even the shrewdest judges of fighting form have ever been able to accurately determine just how good a boxer Sam really is. It is admitted that for his weight and height, Langford is the greatest piece of fighting machinery that has been developed in a generation, but whether he is strong enough and has the heart to carry him through a bitter battle with the mighty Johnson only the test of actual conflict will determine. The question resolves itself into this: Can a good little man beat a good big man. Riding history answers emphatically. No. Nevertheless, in this particular case, many close and smart students of the sport feel that precedent will be reversed. All critics acknowledge that Johnson is a great fighter, though skeptics claim that in beating Jeffries he locked only a shell of a great man. Every one who has seen Sam Langford at full speed admits willingly that he is a wonderful fighter. Whether he can upset tradition and cold calculation is the burning sport question. Fending the Farm Horse. The ideal ration is one that keeps the horse in a good, thrifty condition at a minimum cost. One serious mistake made by practical farmers is to feed working rations on idle days, thinking to prepare the horse better for the heavy work to come. A good practical ration for a 1.5 pound horse doing hard work in ten pounds of corn, eight pounds of oats, two pounds of bran and twelve pounds of clean, bright, mixed hay. The bran is a laxative and may be used as a corrector. If the horse is allowed the run of pasture during the night the bran should be entirely eliminated. - Country Gentleman. Moszkowski's Wit: "Moritz Moszkowski is not only a great pianist," says the Paris Meneget, "but a clever wit." Among the things which the writer then relates to prove the assertion are those: They say that the greater part of modern music is good, but that it sounds badly. I can subscribe to only half of the paradox. "Rubinstein once said: the false notes will be I struck in the course of six rests of concertes were sufficient for a seventh." Rubinstein is dead, but that seventh concert is still with us. Which He Roos to Remark.

Long Waits After the first great success W. E. Penley the English someday, had to not in many plays, which somehow did soon to please the public. Some of these he just kept alive by his "gagging." On one occasion, when a wristband play had been going for some weeks in this manner, the conceived young author came behind and asked Mr. Penley why he "gagged" so much. "The play will be all right," he said. "If you will only speak my lines quietly and wait for the laugh." To this Mr. Penley replied promptly: "That's all very well for you, old man. You live is town, but, you see, I live in the country and have to catch the 12:15 from Waterloo!"
