PLANET COLORED GIRL'S $112,000 A YEAR Ten-Year-Old Will Pay Biggest Income Tax in Oklahoma. Muskogee, Okla., Sept. 7. — A colored girl 10 years old will pay the largest income tax in Oklahoma. Sarah Rector, who lives just west of Muskogee, has an income of more than $112,000 a year. It is the old story of the lucky allottee and the oil well. Sarah is the descendant of a Creek freedman. She had nothing to do with the selection of her allotment and probably has never seen it and does not know where it is. But it is 160 acres of land and upon it has been drilled the biggest producing well in the mid-continent field. This is what is known as the Jones Ginsher, near the town of Cushing. The well is producing more than $2,500 a day and Sarah got one-eighth as her share. This is just the beginning. Art rangements are already made to drill other wells. There is no doubt but these will also be big producers. The Law Incarnate. Joe McNeely; a Negro, who lay wounded and helped in a hospital in Charlotte, N. C. was seized, carried outside and shot to death by a mob of thirty-five men Tuesday night. He had assassinated a policeman, who still lives. Not one of his murderers has been identified. It was the first time that lynch law has been invoked in either Charlotte or Mecklenburg County. It was the first lynching to displace North Carolina in years. The lynchers set the mitted suddenly and swiftly. It shocked a horror-striken community into unaltering determination to bring to bar the mob who brought shame not only upon the community and the State, but upon the South as well. The newspaper accounts declare that two policemen, stationed in the hospital, drew their pistols on the mob and were "overpowered," but public opinion must sustain the statement of Judge Shaw, who is holding court in Charlotte, that "two big pistols in the hands of men who were not diligent as to their duty were as harmless as a toy pistol in the hands of a child." These awn defenders of the law assert that they recognized not a single member of the gang of gunmen who "overpowered" them. Lynch law survives only where those awn to protect and preserve justice violate their sacred oath. The majesty of constituted authority can not be maintained upon a foundation of fear. There is but one way to recall Judge Lynch. Establish in office such men as gerrif White, of Spartanburg, South Carolina, whose example has been commended to the officers of law of North Carolina by Governor Craig. A fortnight ago a mob in that city determined to knight a Negro who had been sent to jail to await trial for the usual crime. Sherif White mot the mob at the gate of the jallyard. Sticks of dynamite were exploding near him and the human vultures outside thirteed for blood. The two sons of the sherif lay ill in the prison. "Gentleman," said Sherif White "I hate to do it, but, so help me God, I am going to kill the first man that enters that gate." Then came a voice from the mob: "He means it, boys!" and no man entered. Before the rightcourness of the law, embodied in its intrepid defender, the mob qualified and melted away. Lynch law would be blotted from the face of the earth forever if the fidelity and the courage of a White flamed in the souls of all those who have sworn, with the help of God, to maintain the law of the land —Mrs. Susan Johnson of Atlee, Va. has been visiting friends here. —Mrs. Nannie C.

Va. Negro Pugilist is Warmly Welcome at Two Big Music Halls. London, Aug. 25.—The man in the street showed to-night in an emphatic manner that he does not share in the hostility to Jack Johnson the Negro puglist. He regards the colored man as the victim of persecution, which is due to color prejudice. Notwithstanding the announcement that Johnson's appearance had been postponed the Euston and South London Music balls, where he had been billed to appear, were densely crowded to-night and there were great mobs outside of each. Johnson's first turn was at the Buson. Here there was a great up roar from the moment the curtain went up. The audience was determined to have Johnson and stood up and shouted for him. They refused to listen to two comediennes who had refused to appear if Johnson did, but in consequence of the announcement of the postponement of his appearance had agreed to go on. The audience drowned the efforts of those two young women with whistles, cat calls and hisses. They were obliged to retire and the whole show was held up. Presently a roar of cheering outside the hall announced that something was happening. Johnson's car had arrived with the big Negro, who was all英寸. The crowd yelled with delight at Johnson's appearance and climbed all over the car in an embrace with him. Johnson was almost smothered by the mob that got on all parts of the car and the police had great difficulty in clearing a pathway for the pugilist to the entrance. Johnson and his friends marched in under the leadership of Manager Loxer of the hall. The lights were down but the audience got a glimpse of Johnson, and cheered frantically for several minutes. They also shouted words of encouragement to the pugilist, a few distendants valiantly protesting by hissing. Johnson stood smiling and bowing for several minutes. Then he left and tried to escape the crowd by taking a tacitaxe at another entrance. This was useless, however, and the police had another job in ridding the car of those who were clinging to it. When at length the car was free and started hundreds ran alongside for some distance. There were similar scenes at the South London Music Hall. Here Johnson made a speech, in which he said among other things: "My only crime is that I beat Jeffries." When he left there were similar scenes to those witnessed at his departure from Euston Hall.

The Supreme Lodge and Its Past History STATE'S RIGHTS AND ITS BENEFITS. The present clash between the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A., A. and A. and the Grand Lodge of Virginia. Knights of Pythias brings to mind the fact that the disruption of the Office once and Alabama have been before was over state's rights. The, along similar lines. Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias. The legal sight on the Eastern and Western Hemisphere was the result. THE OTHER SIDE Attorney W. Ashleigh Hawkins, of Baltimore, Maryland is now Supreme Chancellor of that side and their Supreme Lodge was in session during the week beginning September 1, 1912. Subsequently states rights in the matter of endowment was granted to the several grand jurisdictions or states and this has been used as an argument why the Eastern and Western Hemisphere people should return to the mother Order. It may be well to state that the Supreme Lodge, originally controlled the endowment department in every state in which it had grand or subordinate lodges. But it failed to pay its death claims promptly, and finally did not pay them at all. It was then that a revolution took place and the several states were permitted to take charge of their own endowment department. SECURED OTHER CHARTERS Many states secured independent state charters and thereby became legally independent of the Supreme Lodge. Virginia was one of those states and holds two charters, one from the state of Virginia and one from the Supreme Lodge. It has been the persistent effort of the Chicago and New Orleans "rings" to change all of this and orders were issued that all Grand Lodges should rollnish their state charters and re-incorporate in the name of the Supreme Lodge. WANT PROPERTY, TOO. This would result in the virtual Died From Wound. Isaiah Moody, colored, forty-two years old, a writer at the Common wealth Club, who was shot with a pistol by Caleb Ingram, colored, last Monday night, died Tuesday morning at 5 o'clock at the City Home. Ingram escaped and has not been captured. He is thirty-two years old with brown complexion and is a line man by occupation. Moody lived at 533 Brook Avenue. The two men engaged in an altercation and Ingram went away. According to reports furnished the police, Ingram returned in ten minutes and shot Moody through the stomach. --- Miss Fannie Cowan Laid to Rest. The funeral of Miss Ida Fannie Cowan took place from the Second Baptist Church. Wednesday, September 3rd, Rev. Dr. Z. D. Lewis preached a most impressive sermon. The floral tributes were excaptionally beautiful, attesting the high esteem in which the deceased war held. The following acted as jail bearer: Honorary, Messrs. J. C. Smith, H. G. Lewis, L. Peterson, J. Bolling, S. H. Shackleford and Emmanuel Stewart. Active, Messrs. George Green, Frank Glangow, John Gatewood, Benjamin Watkins, Ira Fry, William Smith. Miss Cowan was the beloved daughter of Capt. and Mrs. Walter S. Cowan of North Third St. and was a well known school teacher, beloved by all who knew her. Accidently Drowned Swansboro, Va., Sept. 9, 1913. The funeral of little Joseph Woolridge, who was accidentally Arowned Thursday, the 4th last, while bathing in the James River, near the pump-house, took place last Sunday from the Second Baptist Church, Rev. D. W. Davis establishing. The scene was a pathetic one and the many friends extend their sympathy to the beloved father and mother. The interment was in Mr. Clovet passing up to the Supreme Lodge and the present management all of the property of the several grand lodges. Missouri and Virginia have ever been forward in refusing to do this and Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Alabama have been outspoken along similar lines. The legal fight on the name Knights of Pythias afforded the excuse to the ring that they had long sought. The life of the Order being at stake, the states were not dispossessed to consider seriously the constitutional prohibition against the levying of the unconstitutional tax of twenty cents per member. CALLED FOR MORE MONEY. With the conclusion of that suit, other taxes of ten cents per member were levied upon first one excuse and then another. Finally at Baltimore, August 25-30, 1913, the mask was thrown aside and the tax levied wholly and solely to pay salaries. Instead of retrenching in the matter of expenses, they were increased and angry Supreme Representatives have returned to their states to spread the news of the Supreme Lodge "wringing" deception and the Supreme Lodge's degradation. PAY THEIR OWN WAY The Grand Lodges pay their own sick and death benefits. They pay their own endowment and yet a tax aggregating ($15,000) fifteen thousand and dollars per year has been levied for the purpose of paying salaries. The only return for this money is a pass word issued by the Supreme Chancellor. WOULD NOT SUBMIT. Self-respecting representatives of a confiding knighthood in this state refused to be a party to this transaction and Virginia is unanimous in maintaining them. It may be well to state that if this money demanded by the Supreme Lodge is to be paid, a tax of from fifty cents to $1.00 per member would have to be levied upon every member in this state. It could not be taken from the treasury as it is a special tax. DEPOSITORS RUSH TO RECEIVE CASH. Creditors of Defunct True Reformers' Bank See Ready Money Mirage. Under the impression that the commissioners in charge of the liquidation of the defunct True Reformers' Bank, were ready to pay all claims, about 500 depositors of that bank, holding claims of from 50 cents to $700, swamped the office of G. Carlton Jackson, in the Travelers' Building, yesterday morning in the hope of getting their money. The rush followed the publication of an announcement by Mr. Jackson, one of the commissioners appointed in the case by the court, calling for all depositors entitled to dividends of $2 and less, to call at the office and leave their names. The classification was made necessary because of the expense involved in satisfying individually claims of this size, many of which were for as low as 50 cents. The advertisement caused the spread of the report that, all claims would be adjusted, and colored depositors responded in force. When Mr. Jackson arrived at his office yesterday morning, 200 were waiting and more were coming on each trip of the elevator to the eighth floor. Before Mr. Jackson could explain the situation, about 500 depositors had visited the building. Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch, Sept. 11, 13.

Chiles and Dr. E. R. Jefferson of Richmond, Va. arrived on the afternoon train today to organize a Court of Calanthe. The ladies to be made were dager and expectant as this is the first Court of Calanthe in this section and were highly delighted to see the Richmond. Grand Court representatives for that purpose, though all regretted that the G. W. C. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. was not one of the distinguished guests. As it was the regular meeting of Orange Lodge Dr. Jefferson had the pleasure of addressing this strong lodge of 65 members and explaining in detail the Supreme Lodge session as he had been a Supreme Representative with Grand Chancellor, Ion. John Mitchell, Jr. for the past twelve years and knew every phase and every step that the Grand Lodge of Virginia had taken in alighting to get justice from that department, and to get the financial affairs to be managed along business lines in keeping with its own constitution in dealing with the Grand Jurisdictions, before taking the final move at Baltimore, Md. The lodge members were jubilant to have the chance of having one of the Supreme Representatives with them. The Court of Calanths, known as Orange Court was then instituted by Miss Chiles and Dr. Jefferson and the ladies were equally an enthusiastic at the beautiful initiation ceremonies and also the explanations of the benefits of the Order and all other information that was so freely and pleasantly given them. Mr. Benjamin F. Bowler formerly of Richmond, Dr. I. A. Jackson, Sir G. T. Willis, Chancellor Commander, of Orange Lodge were allowed to join Orange Court and each made timely and well-received remarks relative to the progress of the K. of P. order in Virginia. A bountiful repast was then served the guests after which all retired to their homes well-placed, with the affairs of the evening. This Court was gotten up by Sir Ben P. F. Bowler and Mrs. Cordella Braaton who deserve much honor for the same. The following are the officers of Orange Court: W. Inr, Mrs. Lula Kemper; W. C., Mrs. Cordella Braxton; W. Inx, Mrs. Mary Adams; W. O., Mrs. Inez Taylor; W. R. of D., Mrs. Lille Bowler; W. R. of A., Miss Helen Reid; W. R. of Dep. Mrs. Mary Steen; W. S. D. Mrs. Lille Taylor; W. J. D., Miss Nancy Ellis; W.

Bowler during her stay in our midst, and Dr. Jefferson was Sir Staff's guest. They left for Richmond on the morning train of September 10, 1913. Better Than Expected. The plentic given at Washington Park by the Ushers Union of Richmond on Labor Day for the benefit of their charitable fund was largely attended, in fact the crowd numbered from three thousand to five thousand people, it was very much larger than expected, and some difficulty was experienced in handling them to the satisfaction of all parties. This be attiful and highly improved home place for colored people was extended to the Ushers Union on Labor Day free of charge by the Washington Park Land Corporation for their entertainment and we understand that a great many lots were sold by the Company in consequence of the effort put forth by the Ushers and their magnificent success in drawing a large crowd, and while justly merited property was well advertised on that day. At the same time the Ushers Union should dply appreciate the free contribution and use of the grounds given by the Company which doubtless was the means of contributing very largely to their charitable fund.

First Annual Grand Session The Supreme Lodge of the National Ideal Benefit Society, Inc. Holds Its First Annual Session at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church—Meeting a Great Success. Tuesday morning, September 2nd, 1915 marked a new epoch in the fraternal world when the Supreme Lodge of the National Ideal Benefit Society met in its first annual session. The church was attractively decorated with palms and cut flowers. Precisely at 10 o'clock, Mr. A. W. Holmes, Supreme Master called the large delegation to order. Roll of Supreme Officers and Directors was called by the Supreme Secretary, S. W. Johnson, after which Devotional Exercises were conducted by the Supreme Chaplain, Dr. Dr. W. T. Johnson, assisted by Rev. C. H. Phillips and Rev. R. F. Richardson of Washington, D. C. The Supreme Master set the keynote for the work of the Convention in his annual message which was listened to attentively and was well received. At the conclusion of the report of the committee on credentials an address was delivered to the delegates by the Supreme Vice Master, Rev. W. L. Anderson. The report of the Supreme Officers shows that the Organization is rapidly advancing. Tuesday night at S o'clock was a large public meeting at the First Baptist Church. Mr. A. W. Holmes, Supreme Master, presided over the meeting. Welcome on the part of the church by Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson, pastor; while the welcome on the part of the Society was delivered by Prof. J. E. Jones of the Virginia Union University. Mrs. M. E. Holmes, National Lecturer of the Southern District was at her best in introducing Mrs. Rosa Thompson, National Lecturer of the Northern District who responded to the Welcome Address. Mrs. Rosa Thompson, who is well known as a powerful speaker, and one who can easily carry her audience at will, on this occasion seemed to have excelled herself in that, it is said by those who heard her that this address was one of the finest ever listened to. At the close of this superb address, she was presented with a most beautiful bouquet of flowers by Master Ellis Booker of Golden Sunbeam Nursery, No. 17, on behalf of the Ideal Nursery Department of Richmond District. She was also presented with a token by Mrs. Eva M. Robinson of Friendship Lodge on behalf of Philadelphia District. The National Ideal Choir under the direction of Mrs. Ida Glover Dume and Mrs. Carrie Coleman Hawk kings rendered choice music for the occasion. Closing remarks were made by the Supreme Master. Wednesday was a very busy day for the Convention, being the selection of officers and the reception of reports of the various committees. At 8:00 P. M. was the "Ideal Union" at which time discussion on Friendship, Love and Peace led by the Supreme Master was the main feature of the evening. At the conclusion of these discussions a most able address was delivered by Rev. J. E. Wright, Missionary of the Va. Baptist Sunday School Convention, after which the guest were led to the banqueting hall by Mrs. M. E. Holmes, that man where her abl committee most beautifully served the guest, for which they have the hearty congratulations of the delegates and visitors. A most impressive Memorial Service presided over by Mrs. Rosa B. Brooks was held in memory of our dead, at which time the principal oulogy was delivered by Mrs. M. E. Holmes. Thursday was known as the Ideal Nursery Day and well did the women headed by Mrs. Rosa Thompson and Mrs. M. E. Holmes plan for the advancement of this department. An Auxiliary to the Supreme Lodge was formed to be known as "The National Ideal Guardians' Convention," to hold its first annual session in Philadelphia, Pa. At 3 P. M. the Nursery workers of Richmond, District presented the Ideal Nursery children who rendered an excellent programme, for which the workers were loudly applauded by the delegation. At 8 o'clock the climax was reached when the National Ideal Choir gave the public a musical treat at the City Auditorium. Fully three thousand people were present. Mr. T. L. Beverly, Deputy for Richmond District: Mrs. Rosa Wilkerson and Mrs. Willie P. Tinsley. Lecturers, are some of the most tireless workers of the Society. The Convention was pleasingly surprised when it learned from the Supreme Master's report that the following named persons: Mrs. C. C. Hawkins, Mrs. Rosetta G. Arrington, Mrs. Ida E. Charity, Miss Lillian H. Holmes and Miss Alice Brown were among the first to work up Lodges and Nurseries, and are leading them successfully, as well as serving as employees. Mrs. Rosetta G.

THE ISLAND OF THE STAIRS Being a True Account of Certain Strange and Wonderful Adventures of Master John Hampdon, Seaman, and Mistress Lucy Wilberforce, Gentlewoman, In the Great South Seas. By CYRUS TOWNSEND BRADY 5YNOPSIS The body of Sir James Wilberforce, ruined garrison of the town, is found by Hampton, a town in Hampshire quarrels with the Duke of Auster. Hampton breaks the news to have Wilberforce and delivers a letter found on her father's body. It contains half of a tray of a treasure island. Lucy already has the tray. There are directions for finding the treasure. "How could we get the 'If you had a ship' commanded and found you could reach the spotility."

When I had finished reading we both stopped and stared. There was much in it. of course, that we could-not possibly understand. We could only comprehend it fully if we were lucky enough to stand beside the "Stone Gods" on the island itself. Still the general purport was sufficiently clear. Sir Philip Wilberforce had evidently concealed a very considerable treas- are there. If we could find it our fortunes would be made, or hers, rather, for I swear I never thought of myself at all. "Think you," my little mistress began at last, her pale face flushing for the first time, her bosom heaving quickly. "that the treasury may still be there?" "Who can tell?" I answered. "The island may have remained unvisited since Mr. Philip's day." "But would treasure last no long?" "Shamed in a cave gold and silver that forever. Everything else would have saved away probably." SYNOPSIS CHAPTER IV. "How could we get there, she asked? "If you had a ship, you'd!" "Well commanded and found, and trained you could reach the spot without difficulty." "How much would it cost?" Well, I quickly and roughly estimated in my mind the necessary outlay. Such a vessel as she would require might be bought 75 perch (£250 or 16,000). Providing and outfitting, together with the pay of the officers and the crew, would require perhaps 1,500 or 2,200 more, or a total between five and six thousand pounds. And she had but two I was about to tell her the problem: truth when the solution of the problem in society came to me. In one way or another I had been a fortunate boy, and I had saved up or earned by training one or two adventures in which I had taken part something over 14,000 which was safely belonged to my credit in a London bank. "I should think, I am slowly, that £250 would be enough to cover everything." "Ah, she said, exactly the sum that Master I amoon and was left of my mother's estate." "Yes, I said I and then I added in duty temp." But you surely would not be so foolish. Mistress Wilberforce, as to ask your all in this wild goose chase: "If you were in my position, Master Haundor, what would you do?" for I know what you do "I am a man." I answered. "I cassumed to shift for myself. I might take a job where I would not advertise you to essay." "I must shift for myself, too."

The Goddess Chance, which had ruined her father, was evidently jogging her elbow. "Indeed, I shall take the chance," she persisted. "But you could easily live on £2,000 for a long white." I urged, against my wish, for I was keen to go a treasure hunting with her for a challenge. "Not such life as I crave. If I cannot have enough for my desires I would, be worse off had I nothing." Well, I was arguing against my wibes from a sense of duty, so I at last gave way. After all, the treasure might be there. If so, it was hers, and it would be a shame not to get it. The pulse of adventure leaped in my reins. "So be it," I said. "Will you help me to make my arrangement? You are accustomed to the sea, and—" "I will do more than that," said I. "With your gracious permission I will go with you." "To the island?" "To the end of the world." I repiled Whereout she stared at me a moment then looked away. She extended her hand to me and I tried to kiss it like a gentleman. I made, no doubt, a blundering effort, but at least it was that of an honest man. "I must go and get ready to go to Master Fickling in the town," she said softly. "You know the house." I nodded. "Come to me there tomorrow and we will talk further about the project." When we broached the subject to Master Ficklin the next day at his house, he would not hear of it. He examined the parchment with interest, but poochooed the tale because, for sooth, it had no legal backing and was couched in the phraseology of the sea rather than in the dry verbiage of the law. He pointed out that he had only succeeded in saving this last £2,000 of lady's fortune because he had skillfully concealed its existence from Sir Geoffrey. He asked pertinently what would happen to her when all was gone and she had found no treasure, the very existence of which he affected to diabolice. A very hard headed, practical person was Master Ficklin. I had stern ideas of duty, too, and Master Ficklin's good sense ever appealed to me. Yet when did mere good sense ever appeal to a woman against her wish? My lady had the gambling instinct, too-I wonder she did not have it stronger, since 'twas in her blood—and she would fail challenge fortune. The end of it was she made over her 12,000 to me without requiring me to give any bond, which Master Fickla would pain have insisted upon and, which would have been embarrassing indeed for me, for my bond would have been my own capital, which I was going to embark in the enterprise in secret. I had saved up that money with no one knows what foolish dreams. I realized those dreams would come to naught. I had no one dependent upon me. Brother or sister I never enjoyed, and father and mother were both dead. What good I for money? Let her have it whose need was great and whose desire was greater. I might have bargained for a share of the treasure did we find any, but I seemed so do it. I would give all and expect nothing for it. At any rate, not being in any hurry, although I was frantically urged by my body, who could scarcely possess her soul in patience before she began her treasure hunting. I looked about a good deal in order to get just what I wanted. Finally from a merchant of Plymouth I purchased a stout little skip of three hundred and fifty tons burden called the Rose of Devon, which had been engaged in the West Indian and the American colonial trade. It was my first design to have gone as master of her myself and my lady would fare have had it so but after烈踢 it I decided it were better to have a man in other man than I to commend long as she went as a passenger and so I engaged a worthy servant, one Samuel Matthews, old enough to be my father, with whom I had often sent; in fact, the man master of me made my first cruise. I loved myself as mine, however, and I loved myself in vain to influence Master I learn and his sister to go with us. It caused proof in venturing among islands filled according to common report with savvy people to provide for Rating. Therefore, after consulting with Captain Matthews, whom I fully recognized with the entire project in all its details, I shipped a crew of thirty men and I provided in the equipment plenty of muskets, pistols and cutlasses, with the necessary powder and ball, and in addition a small brass cannon which I mounted on the forestele. Nor did our cargo back means for friendly trading and barter should such be found practicable. Naturally the unanimous of these preparations attracted attention, and Captain Matthews and I were overwhelmed with applications from adventurous men who desired to make the voyage, surmising that it was after treasure of some sort. I left the work of engaging the crew to Captain Matthews. He had as boat-awain a seaman named Pimball, in whom he placed great confidence. He was a gallantous looking man with a white scar running from his left eye across his cheek, caused by a cut he had received in some fight, and the line of white showing against the bronzed, weather beaten 'cheek he sported did not improve his appearance. But that he was a prime seaman was evident. Captain Matthews seemed to have great confidence in him. To anticipate, when we boarded the ship I liked the crew not much better than the boatswain. I will say this for them, however, that a smarter, quicker set of seamen never laughed on breeze or laid on yardarm. It was not their skill or strength or courage that I did not like, but they were not the kind of men I would have sought for a ship of my own, and the presence of my lady and her maid, a worthy woman, a long time, servant at the castle, who had elected to follow her fortunes, made me timid, yet I was not unusually apprehensive. I had a sublime confidence in my own ability to deal with any man or any group of men. I did not stint the outfitting of the ship, and when I finished, having left nothing out that either my own or Captain Matthews' experience or imagination would suggest, there was left of our joint funds enough to pay the wages of the officers and of the men out and back and no more that is, allowing a year for the round way age. The lines of the Rose of Tewen were unusually good. She had a reputation for being a speedy boat, and that was more time than enough. It was my purpose to go around the world with her rather than retrace our course about Cape Horn after we reached the Islef. If we ever reached it, so we staked everything we had or the future. If my only bad had the least knowledge. THE ECONOMY, 316 North Third Street. FINE TAILORING CLEANING BUILDING AND REPAIRING. CHITMAN H. WHITE. she would have seen how little she was her 12,000 had gone, but she was an gullible anny any other woman on that subject, and Master Ficklin was not much better. I lied to them both with a good grace and with an easy conscience. It was for her sake. BUT one striking me as worthy to be chronicle before we embarked. When all was ready and everything aboard, I went back to Master Ficklin's in Turnstock, which was an easy day's journey from Plymouth sound, where the Rise of Devin lay, to fetch my lady and her mould. Master Ficklin's house was a somewhat large one and was surrounded by a walled garden, perhaps two acres in extent, which ran back from the house to a little brook which bounded the village. Master Ficklin was at his office, although it was yet early in the morning when I called, intending to fetch my lady to Plymouth by conch, a special coach which I had engaged, by the way. His sister said that Missress Wilberforce was in the garden and that she had company. She offered to show me to her presence, but I said I knew the way and could go myself. I did not like the word company overmuch since her fine friends had more or less forgotten her. I passed through the hall, out of the back door and into the garden. I stood a moment, hesitating, wondering whether after all I had the right or the privilege to break in upon such company as she might be entertaining, when a person which came faintly from the end of the garden decided me. I broke into a tun and in a few moments came upon my lady struggling in the arms of a man. What man, you ask? The Duke of Arrestor! He had his arms around her, and although he was so great shakes of a man, he was much stronger than the slight girl he was grappling with. He held her tightly by the waist with one hand and with the other was trying to turn her head so that he could kiss her. I was upon them before they realized my arrival. I grasped the duke by the collar of his coat with my left hand and with my right I fairly tore him away from my loye. "Thank God, you have come!" she哭ed, teething and staggering, her face thinned, her hair disheveled, her dress in disarray. I heard that much and then the duke was upon me, writting his teeth and sweating faintly, settling he got to his feet. I had thrown him prone—dragged out his sword and rushed at me. "You dog!" I哭ed. "You have balked me before, and you interfere now. I have lost enough of you and the world now." He did not intend to give me any chance to defend myself apparently. My little mistress screamed. I heard her call my name and I suppose she thought I was doing for, but sailors are proverbially quick witted, footed and handled, and I was not the least alert of scissors. I was wearing a hanger, a heater weapon than the duke's dress sword, but its weight was a matter of no amount to an arm like mine. I stepped aside as he lunged at me, drew it, and the next moment our blades clashed in earnest. Now, I am a good fighter and so mean foe. I can cross blades with any one on earth. My swift play must have looked to the duke as if I were surrounded by a wall of steel. Therefore he realised at once that his only chance key in the energy and rapidity of his force. Lunge succeeded lunge with lightning-like speed. I will admit that I was hard put to it for a time. It was with the greatest difficulty that I perished, but my tord was not built for the continuance of such violent exercise. Sweat came into his eyes, his thirst grew less swift, if not less venous in their intent. After a few moments I saw that I had hurt. It was now my turn to attack. Something of the turgor of my Saxon ancestors suddenly filled my veins. I beat down his defense by a series of terrific blows and finally shivered his sword. He stood before me painting, weaponless, yet, to give blim his due, more or less unimpeded. I failed my own blade. "Would you strike a defenseless man?" he cried laughily, still not blanched. "You had no people in attacking a defenseless woman." I replied. "Nay," I thundered as he made a sudden motion, "stand, where you are. What I shall do to you depends upon what I hear. If you move, I swear to you that I will hear you down like the dog that you are." I was amazed afterward at my temerity in thus addressing a duke, but you will understand my feelings. Without taking my eyes off of him I next addressed myself to my lady. "Will you tell me now, Mistress Lucy," said I softly, "what this man purposed or said? I can see what he tried to do, but what was his meaning and intent?" "He—wanted—me to go with him," faltered my lady. "He renewed his offer of marriage?" I asked, with a sudden sinking of heart. "No," whispered the girl. "My God!" I cried. "Did you dare to—" "Why should I marry a 'peniless baggage?' he answered. "I shall insure that you will remember," I said quietly, although I was blazing inside, "all the liyas of your life what you tried to do—the insult that you put upon this lady." "Would you kill me?" he cried, as I stepped nearer to him. "No," said I. "that would be too quick and easy an end to your punishment. I will put my mark upon you, her brand as a coward. Everybody who sees you will ask you about it, and you can explain it as you will. Two persons at least will know what the mark signifies, my lady and myself." "He stared at me absolutely unpreprehending, but before he could make a move I caught him around the breast, plouched both his arms to his side and then I deliberately shortened my Word, holding it by the blade, and cut two long, deep gashes in his left cheek. He struggled had thirteen horribly as I did so, and my lady screamed as well, but I held him close until I snatched. "Now," said I to Mistress Lucy, "before I release him, one more question. Did—did he kiss you?" "No," answered Mistress Lucy faintly. "Good!" I continued grimly. "Had he done so I would have marked the other cheek. He was a handsome man, but those two scars roughly erased would never be collated, for I had cut deep with deliberate purpose. After that I released him, and he staggered away splitting blood, his cheek bleeding, a horrible looking object. "That will be a lesson to your grace," said I, "not to insult an honest woman. I have no doubt there are many who would rebel to see you now." "I will have the law on you. I will have your life," he snuttered out. "You can have anything you want, and I recklessly. I am your master DAMM with the sword and with everything else. Now, go." He turned staggered away and that was the last I saw of him. I heard later that he had the devil's own time explaining those marks. He proclaimed that they had been inflicted by a madman, which was nearly the truth, but in some way the story leaked out, and I should judge that my vengeance for the insult to my lady was as adequate as anything could be. "I am come to take you to the ship," I said to her. "We must get there tonight to sad with the beginning of the ebb tomorrow morning." "I am ready," she said, putting her hand upon my arm. We went into the house and from there to the coach, with her maid and her bargeage, after making her farewell to her kind hostess. In the evening we got aboard the ship, where I saw her safely bestowed in the comfortable cabin I had arranged for her and for her woman. When day broke and she came on desk we were under way for the island of the Straits. The great adventure had begun. I pass over the events of the next six months, but not because they were uninteresting. Oh no. One could not sail from Plymouth, England, to the south seas, touching at Madeira, the Canaries, Rio and Buenos Aires and rounding the eighty and foursome Cape. Without seeing many things of interest and participating in scenes as daring as they were exciting. But I can not writing a book of travels. We were diving near the island we sought, so coming to the calculations of good captain Matthews and myself, when something happened. I had brought it on myself I realized, but that made it no more bearable indeed. I was good, and all through outrage in dignity, hounded in self respect, and care it not foolish to speak so of a man of my years and sturdiness. I should say I was broken in heart. My distress and been so kind to me that I had given in a fool's paradise, I awoke to realize that she had not forgotten the difference between our stations. I had forgotten it in these long months at sea. By heavens, the sight of her was enough to make a man forget anything if he loved her as I There. The secret is out, but I make no doubt you pressed it long before. But she had not. There was no mirror in the cold but I could well guess that the sight of me was not sufficiently propossessing to make any woman forget. Yet she had been so kind. I was her only confidant or companion in the ship. I had forgotten. I had endured to leap the gap. I had fondly hoped that the one thing in me that was truly great-my passion for her-would land me safely by her side. I did not see how she could fall to comprehend it, though I did try to disguise it. Well, that love of mine, it had not brought her nearer. On the contrary, it had put me under lock and key. And he help I was, shut up like a criminal in my own cabin in her ship, or mine, for that matter. Come to think of it, that moment I believe love had completely disappeared. I could recall—and cum to this day, for that matter—the fierce, burning rush of color to her cheek where I had kissed it; the fire of rage and surprise mingled which sparkles in her eyes. The Duke of Arcelor I had marked for life for less than this, I recalled in shame. I hardly recollected the fierce blow of her hand upon my face. That was nothing. But I was indoors. All the patient devotion of years, all the re studies of the long voyage, had made its mark. There was plenty of bright starlight on deck. She had stepped out from the dark shadow of the apenecer, and I had followed on her heels. The first night watch had not yet been called, and the men, killed about the decks waiting the bontwain's shrill whistle, had noted it all. I can see their anering laughing faces even now. As it was, I drew myself up and waited while she sent for good old Captain Matthews and, vouchsaving no explanations, imperiously bade him stow me below as a prisoner in my cabin. He didn't roll the job, but wout about it forthwith. Indeed, I did not wait for further orders, after her look and glance. I stalked below as haughtly as you please. It was her ship, as she had said and as she certainly believed, and had it not been, who could deny her anything? Not I, forsooth. I could steal a kiss, but not balk her will. And here I was the mate of the Rose of Devon, and but for my own renunciation I had been her captain, engaged in this wild goose chase, this foolish search for treasure, for so it seemed to me then, locked up below like any mutilous dog at the height of a woman that I could have broken between my thumb and finger. And after all I had done and sacrificed for her too. Come to think of it. I had always loved her, ever since those days when I, the gardener's boy, had been her faithful and devoted slave. And through the long years when I had been far voyaging in distant seas I had kept her memory fresh and sweet and true. Although I had been in many rough places I had seen life from the seamy side, and the common lot of a sailor of my day had been mine. There are no better seamen in narrow seas or broad thim. I had worked my way up through the forecaste to the quarterdeck. I had a natural gift for figures. I could take a sight and work out a position as well as any book taught navigator, and I had been a great reader too. My private cabin was ever crowded with books. Much of my earrings were spent that way. I had wit enough to choose good books, too, and perseverance enough to study them well. I knew more than she—oh, much more!—about everything but the usages of good society, and I had at least learned something of good manners in her company since her father's death. My shipmates used to laugh at me for being a book deliverer, a worm, they were wont to call it. Well, they didn't laugh very long. There was nothing physical for which I need stand aside for any man. I was over six feet high and built in proportion. I could, unadvised and alone, hold the wheel of the best ship in the forest storm. CHAPTER VI. Wherein My Lady Is Placed In Great Poril. NOW I was a prisoner. I said I didn't feel that blow on the cheek, but as I thought on it it fairly wore me. I hated her. I hoped that no- I might as well be honest with myself. I didn't care how she treated me, how disdainful were her words, how unjustly she punished me. I loved her. I couldn't help, I didn't want to help it. I would kiss the desk plank she hallowed with her footsteps. There was another side to my confection, and I presently took thought on that. I swear that I was not thinking of myself, but of her. I was ever thinking of her. I could see dangers that beset her as perhaps no one else could, and my confection added to her peril. She didn't realize that; nobody art on the ship realized it. There was a peril, imminent, menacing, about to break, I feared. You see, the fact that we were treasure hunting had got about. I had not thought much of the crew, including the villainous looking boatswain, Pimball. We had shipped a lot of smart seamen, about the average in quality and above the average in smartness. I desired as the days had passed with nothing happening, but Pimball had signed some I could wish had been left ashore. Her presence on the ship, too, was a mystery. Alone in the little Rose of Devon with thirty men. By cell mishap the maid she had brought with her had died after a brief illness two weeks out. Captain Matthews and I were for turning back, but she said no, she would go on. We had lost too much time already and her all was embarked. We were now now plowing the blue waters of the Pacific, and I mate of the ship and the only other officer to be trusted, locked up! We were hearing the latitude and longitude of the island. Suppose the men rose in mutiny! I ground my teeth in rage. The men liked me well enough, and I had been particular to keep them in good humor, passing over many a thing for her sake that I would have followed with a blow she had not been there. Captain Matthews had complained once or twice of my laxity, but I knew things that he didn't, and I had done what I deemed best for her. I pledge you my word that I didn't care a furthing for the treasure. I had never given it much thought. I grew to believe in it less and less as we got further from home, and if I had been stronger for my duty and weaker in my love I would have dissuaded her from the voyage, following Master Ficklin's lead. Now, that she was poor, and alone, neglected and forgotten, I had enjoyed a foolish dream that I could be a companion to her—a life shipmate—for the captain was a rough, plain old sailor. What a fool I was! And yet it had worked in some way as I had intended. We had been thrown into closer intimacy by the loneliness of her position and my faithful and, until that night, most unobtrusive, self-effacing devotion. I suppose it never entered her head that I could presume to love her, consequently she was less careful than she had been otherwise, and that very night when I had poured out my declaration to her she had had no words with which to meet it. I thought her silence was consent. I see now that I was assessment. I missed her in my arms like the brake she is using. have thought me, lifted her up and kissed her fair on the lip and then on her averted cheek. Arcester, the black-guard, could have done no worse. I will never forget how she stigmatized me—bruise, coward, lowborn. I don't believe she had railed at that second-duel duke so fiercely. Well, I didn't care what she had called me. Her safety, her life, her honor demanded that I be released. That was the purnament concern. I listened. I thought I heard a foot fall in the outer cabin. Could she be there? I suppose that I had been locked up for perhaps an hour. Aye, on the instant the bell forward struck three. We kept man-of-war customs at her fancy. The sound came to me faintly as I listened. Half past 2. She could not have gone to her berth yet. She must be there in the great cabin. I ventured to call. What it cost me any man can imagine—and to humble myself to ask her mercy too. I am a man of fierce temper, as you have deceived, but I can control it on occasion, and I did at now. I shook the door of the cabin gently at first and then vigorously and called once and again. There was no answer. I bead upon it. I missed my voice. I rearedly thought I could be heard on deck. The wind was blowing, the sea was heavy, and the ship was pitifully flying. The strutting the creaking, the grounding of the timbers would have prevented such a noise as I made from attracting attention unless some one were in the cabin. But all in vain. No heed was paid to me, and yet I could swear that somebody was there. I don't know how exactly, but I was conscious of his presence. Forthwith because I was so in love with her that I could always tell whether she was about. I came to this day. It made me madder than before to go then unsealed. I was on the point of glaring over my endeavor, but I thought of the peril in which she steel "Madam." I whispered softly, and then more locally, "Madam." I did not venture to say any other D. B. I Called Again, and Yet a Third Time, name, I called again, and yet a third time, and then for the last time with the full power of my voice. I heard a movement outside and then a voice- beloved, blessed voice, even when it rated me. "Well, sir?" The words came to me through the partition. She was there, then, as I had divided. She had been there all the time, trying me. "I would fain have a word with you." I answered, putting everything else by and speaking most entreatingly and with a humility I did not altogether feel. "I desire no speech with you," was herdship and measured answer. I could hear her turn as if to move away. "Think of my long and faithful service." I urged, "and of your gracious friendship for me, often expressed." "You yourself forgot it to smile." "For God's sake," I cried desperately as I heard her go, "just one word." "An apology? Do you do beg forgive-peas?" "No—yes—anything!" I finished in confusion. "I will not listen. I wish to convince you of the enormity of what you have done, the grossness of your presumption. I will give you time for quiet reflection, alr." "I am convinced already," I urged hurriedly. "So easily?" she mocked. "Midam, if you love life and honor I pray you hear me. It is not, of myself I think, but of you. You are in grave peril," returned I with the utmost seriousness. "What peril?" There was a note of alarm in her voice in spite of her effort to be indifferent. I seized upon its promise eagerly. "The men of the ship—they are not what they should be. Captain Matthew is alone. Pimball is a villain. I trust no one but"— "And is this the plea on which you seek enlargement?" "That is the only plea." "You did not discover this danger until I looked you up, did you?" "I tell you that it is not for myself I fear, but for you." I persisted! "And was it for that you insulted me on the quarterdeck before the men? I will hear no noise. It is a foolish plan. The men are devoted to me and-" "For God's sake, Mistress Lucy," I tried, but this time she was gone. I heard the door of her cabin shut doently. There was no help for it. Well, I must devise a way unrailed, for I must get out for her sake. The door was locked by an air port closed." ses topennaneesius SLUT “eden tie WaiDMe atk MESSE Soke SR RET a Bio Be et a So A APR | eer er f .

The Underwood-Simmons tariff bill passed the senate by a vote of 64 to 37. It went through carrying all the features for which President Wilson has contended—free wool, free sugar, free meats and greatly reduced duties on all of the necessaries of life. The result was a great personal victory for Woodrow, Wilson, and he was showed with messages of congratulation. The bill now goes to conference between the two houses, and ten days it is expected will see final action on this important measure, which already has dragged itself along for five months. The vote in the senate was big with political possibilities. Two Republicans, La Follette, of Wisconsin, and Poindexter, of Washington, voted for the Democratic bill. Only two Democrats, Thornton and Ransdell, of Louisiana, failed to stand by the caucus pledge. They voted with most of the Republicans against the measure. Many Republicans contended that by his action La Follette had removed himself from the Republican party and had forfeited any chance he may have had for nomination for the presidency. Nobody was certain what La Follette's plans were. Some Republicans believed his action meant that he is preparing to lead an independent fight of his own, while others were confident that he was getting ready to jump into the Democratic fold. His isolation was still further emphasized by an obvious break between him and Senator Cummins, one of the Republican progressives. The Democratic leaders obtained a larger majority for the bill than they had expected. This was due not only to the votes of La Follette and Polindester, but to the absence of three Republicans, two of whom, Senator Burton, of Obito, and Senator Grouna, of North Dakota, released their Democratic pairs on the final vote in order that they might have the satisfaction of recording themselves in favor of the party measure. So intense was the interest in the proceedings below that when the vice president announced that the bill had passed applause broke on on the floor of the senate on the Democratic side, and the occupants of the galleries plucking up courage at this example violated a time honored rule forbidding such demonstrations. On the door Senator John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi; Senator Thomas, of Colorado, and other members of the finance committee sat up and clapped their hands in exultation, while some of the older senators, like Bacon, of Georgia, looked on with more or less astonishment. Immediately after the announcement that the bill had been passed, Senator Gallinger, chairman of the Republican caucus and by virtue of that office nominally leader of the minority, arrose, and in a brief but felicitous speech expressed his appreciation of the treatment that had been accorded to the minority side by Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance committee. After the announcement that the bill had been passed Chairman Simmons asked for the appointment of conferences on behalf of the senate, and another big surprise was afforded when the vice president named Senator La Follette, of Wisconsin, who had just voted for the bill, as one of the Republican conferences. Senator La Follette was not entitled to the place on the ground of seniority, as he is the last member on the list of Republicans on the finance committee. The seven senators named to represent the senate on the conference committee of the two houses that will perfect the bill were as follows: Chairman Simmons and Senators Stone, Williams and Johnson, Democrats, and Senators Penrose, Lodge and La Follotte, Republicans. The last day given to the tariff bill in the senate was consumed mostly by speech making. Senators La Follotte and Cummins made the principal speeches, and one of the diverting incidents of the debate was an open manifestation on the part of Mr. La Follotte of his ill-feeling toward the senator from Iowa, which dates back to the last presidential campaign. Senate Tariff Changed The principal changes made by the separate in the Underwood tariff bill as it passed the house are: Income tax exemptions reduced to $2000, with allowance of $1000 for husband or wife and $1000 for two or more children. Tax on cotton futures of fifty cents a bale, effective after Sepul 1, 1814. Senator Simmons Guided Destiny. La Fellette Made Last Speech. Photos by American Press Association. During the long debate in the senate measure, the official opinion of the measure has been guided in a large degree by Senator Simmons of North Carolina (bottom) chairman of finance committees. When the end of the struggle was in sight Republicans were equally as anxious as the Democrats to get the bill out of the way. Senator La Follette delivered the speech, and the senate elaborate comparison between the pending measure and the Payne-Aldrich act. wines, heretofore free, taxed $1.10 a gallon. House anti-dumping provision requiring goods to be sold in the United States as cheaply as in home state of producers stricken out and the prohibition on convict made and child labor goods modified.

The worst of the numerous disasters which have overtaken Germany's airship fleet happened when the new naval Zippelin ship L1 was wrecked while on a voyage from the mainland to Helfgoland, twelve miles away, and sixteen of the crew of twenty-three were drowned. This is the twelfth accident to be fell as if the world alone. This is the twelfth accident to be fall the Zoppelin airships and the first to be accompanied with loss of life. It had been previously announced that the L-1 was going on a fifty-four-hour non-stop trial trip from Friedrichen to Wilhelmshaven, where she was to be joined by two waterplanes. The ice she was to proceed with the waterplanes to Helligoland, from which place she would cruise across Schleswig-Holstein to Danzig, returning from the latter place to Friedrichhaven by way of Potadam and Hanover. It is understood that some officers of high rank were aboard the L-1, but the only names mentioned in the early reports are Lieutenant Hanne, the commander, and Catinain von Metzling. Both of these are said to have been drowned. Thlexes Got $500 In Store Burglarrs ransacked the cigar store of John H. Jones, Market and Sixth streets, Wilmington.

No Lives Were Lost in Wreck is Due to Fact that it Was an All Steel Train—Locosened Rail Blamed. The New York-St. Louis flyer, on the Pennsylvania Railroad was derailed at Wyles station, four miles west of New Madison; O., injuring forty-five of the seventy-five passengers and fatally injuring three of the crew. Six coaches went into a cornfield on one side of the track, the engine and tender striking a bridge abutment on the other side of the track and turning one span of the bridge into the air. The rear coach remained on the rails, and the next coach, though off the track, did not overturn. The following is a partial list of injured: L. E. Reeber, New York; Mrs. Johanna E. Casey, St. Louis; H. C. Swayle, Indianapolis; W. Somerville St. Louis; A. W. Gelster, Baltimore; W. B. Foriss, New York city; A. T. Hackworth, Kansas City; C. W. Ewing, dining car steward, Columbus, O.; R. Rodgers, engineer, Columbus, O.; J. W. Tharp, fireman, Columbus, O.; R. J. Rector, stoker, Columbus, O.; M. H. Specker, Brooklyn; Jesse Porter, Jersey City, N. J.; R. M. Goodman, Washington, D. C. Two firemen were so badly scalded and crushed it is believed they will die, and a chef in the dinner was seriously scalded. The engineer suffered a severe scalp wound. The wreck occurred on a sharp curve where the track was weak and the train was travelling at high speed. The injured were taken to Richmond, Ind., on a relief train sent to the scene of the wreck from that place. Because of absence of telegraphic communication with Wylies, it was not at first known how many persons were injured, but some of the farmers living near there sent an urgent call for doctors and nurses, saying that many persons had been hurt. The train passed through New Madison about six minutes before it was wrecked, and its speed at that time was about fifty-five miles an hour. The train was composed of a mail car, baggage library car, four Pullman sleepers, diner and observation. It was an all steel train, and the fact that there was no loss of life is attributed to this fact. The train was known as the New York-St. Louis flyer. It left Columbus fifty minutes late. It was one of the finest accommodation trains on the Pennsylvania lines. There is no telegraph station near the place where the wreck occurred. Because of this, news of the wreck was some time reaching New Madison and Bradford. The train was in charge of Conductor F. L. Fallon and Engineer R. E. Rogers, both of Columbus. The engine left the track on one side, and two coaches immediately in the rear of the engine jumped to the other side and plowed into a cornfield, according to reports reaching the Pennsylvania offices. Relief cars, carrying doctors, were rushed to the scene from Richmond, Ind.; Greenville, New Paris and Bradford. Wreck trains were sent from Columbus, New Madison and Richmond. The cause of the wreck is not known yet, but it is supposed to have been a loosened rail. The officials said the train was travelling sixty miles an hour at the time of the accident. The latest report is that all the cars but one went into the ditch. General Manager McCarty said that he attributed the fact that no lives were lost directly to the all steel equipment of the train. COATESVILLE Y. M. C. A. BURNS Building and Contents Destroyed With Loss of $40,000. The Young Men's Christian Association building at Coatesville, Pa., was destroyed by fire entailing a loss of $40,000. The directors carried $30,000 insurance on the building and contents. The entire business block was threatened, and nearby towns were in readiness to offer assistance, but with four lines of water hose and two chemicals the volunteer firemen, after an hour's work, had the fire under control. The fire, the origin of which is a mystery, started in the physical director's room, on the basement floor, adjacent to the gymnasium. Poe's Biographer Dead.

The long-looked-for date of the wedding of Francis Sayre and Miss Jescio Wilson has been announced by Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, through her secretary, Isabella Hagnor. The date will be Tuesday, Nov. 25, and the ceremony will take place in the White House in Washington. Mr. Sayre has been at the summer White House in Cornish, N. H., for the past week, and is probably doing what ever he can to assist in the plans for the wedding day. He and Jessie Wilson are now quite familiar personages upon the streets of the little village of Windsor and likewise upon the country roads leading in all directions from Cornish. They ride in the electric automobile on some trips, and upon others are seen together in a cute little parasol rig, which is about as unique a turnout as one would find anywhere, either in the romance of Europe or America. Three Women In Air Flight It is believed that Miss Ruth Law, sister of Rodman Law, the acronym established a world's record for women passenger carrying. She made a flight of 800 feet in altitude about ten minutes in duration in a biplane at Garden City, L. I., carrying Mrs. Richard R. Sinclair and Miss Pearl McGrath. The latter sat on the lower wing. She is a New York debutante of last winter. Mrs. Sinclair as Miss Helen Martin was a Baltimore girl. She resides at Nassau Boulevard, L. I. William Beldleman died in Harrisburg, Pa.; after a fast of almost fifty six days, during which time he ate but two pieces of toast. Mr. Beldleman was close to ninety-six years of age.

Branch Office, 718 N. 2nd St. TEACHERS WANTED ```markdown ``` SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson XI.—Third Quarter. For Sept. 14. 1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Ex. xx. 12:21. Memory Verses, L.17—Golden Text. Luke x. 22—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Continuing our study of the two tables given to Moses, we will look first at the six restful commandments and then at what is written concerning the relation of the white to the sinner and the saint. The fifth command is repeated and repeated to believers today in Eph. xi. 11, in response to the sixth, "Then shall it kill" our Lord caught that it was of sins even to be angry, and to do harm. In we read that "whoever tortures his brother is a murderer." In reference to the seventh Matt. 25, twohes that it may be broken to even a look. As to the eighth, the question is asked in Mal. lii. S. "Wal a man nash God!" and the answer is, "We have rebelled Me in tithes and offerings." Many a man who would not be guilty of stealing a time or a nickel rob God of His Sabbath day by finding his own pleasure in it and is meaner than Jacob in refusing to give back to God at least a tenth of that which God has so bountifully given to him. A good comment on the ninth is found in Zach. vtl. 10; vtl. 17, where we are forbidden even to imagine evil in our hearts against a brother or a neighbor. If any testify falsely against us it gives us fellowship with the Lord Jesus, against whom false witnesses were hired to testify, even as it had been predicted, "False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not" (Pa. xxx. 11, Matt. xxx. 506). As to covetress, it was on that point that Paul saw his sinfulness (Rom. vii, 7) and afterward wrote that covetousness is idolatry (Col. iii, 5). Our Lord said, "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for a man's life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth" (Luke xi, 15). From the voice of God and the thunderlings and the lightnings and the noise of the trumpet the people removed and stood off after, and Moses alone drew near (verses 18-21). The law is holy and just and good (Rom. vii, 12) and sets forth the holiness without which no man can see God. It is so holy that no more mortal man ever keeps it or could keep it, for it brings us all in guilt before God and shuts every month, for by this we is the knowledge of sin (Rom. vii, 12). "If there had been, and given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law" (Gail III, 21). But it is evident that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, for as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, "Cursed is every one that continues not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them." But Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us. The law brings us all in guilt and leads us to Christ that we might be justified by faith (Gal. III. 10:13, 24, 25). He alone of all men kept the law perfectly in thought, word and deed and became the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth, but there always have been and still are those who, being ignorant of God's righteousness and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God (Hom. x, 3, 4). Such are all those who talk about salvation by character and the Golden Rule as their creed and the Sermon on the Mount good enough for them. They have not notched that the first utterance of Christ on that occasion shuts their mouth, for where is their poverty of spirit while they talk of how good they are and how much good they do? Let us consider the giving of the law more fully, for in this series of lessons we have nothing in connection with the tabernacle, every whit of which uttered His glory and speaks of Him who is the true Tabernacle (Ex. xxix. 9, margin; Heb. vill. 2). The principal vessel in the tabernacle was the ark of the covenant, and it was made to contain the law, which Israel so quickly broke, as we shall see in our next lesson. Moses and Aaron. Nadab and Abihu and seventy of the elders of Israel went up into the mount, and it is written that they saw God and did eat and drink (Ex. xxix. 9-11). This, in the light of John 1. 18, tells us that they saw the Son of God. Johann seems to have waited somewhere, for we do not read of him again till Moses comes down from the mount, after forty days and nights, with the tables in his hands. He had received full instructions concerning the other nucle and its furniture. As they came down from the mount the people, who had promised to do all that God had said are seen worshiping the golden calf and Moses, to impress upon them what they were doing, threw down the tables and broke them. By the command of the Lord he made two tables like the first, went up into the mount again and remained another forty days and nights, while God wrote the ten words, but this time he was told to put them in the ark that they might be kept unbroken (Ex. xxiv. 0-18; xxix. 14, 28; xxii. 17; Deut. 1x, 10, 11, 17; x. 150. What the people could not do the ark did. Christ is our ark, and our mourn seat, and our priest, and our sacrifice.

A Copy of Supreme Keeper of Records & Seal C. K. Robinson's Timely Report: To the Officers and Representatives to the Sixteenth Biennial Session to be held at Baltimore, Maryland, August 25th to 30th, '13. Greeting: St. Louis, Mo., July, 1913. Dear Sir and Brother—As the time approaches for the next Supreme Lodge Session, I feel that the representatives and officers should know our true financial condition. In order that they may think and plan for the betterment of those conditions. The very short time allowed at the Supreme Lodge Session for the consideration of vastly important questions, is not sufficient to permit the members to become thoroughly familiar with conditions as they really exist. At this time I feel it highly important to lay these matters before you, believing as I do that the hearts of the majority of our members are true to the principles of our great institution.

FURTHER EXPLANATION. $5,950.00 of this amount, according to your law, is pay the Supreme Lodge fund $1,000.00 out of the Unifor fund, and $2,500.00 out of the Endowment fund. The amounts do not include the general expenses for office re- gistration, traveling expenses of officers, etc., while the term amounted to $13,203.39 to be paid from the lodge fund. The receipts for the Supreme Lodge fund, 1911 amounted to $5,272.02, which left your Supro- cessary as follows: Disbursements $13,203.39 Collections 8,272.02 Deficit in S. L.

The foregoing amounts do not include the general expenses for office rent, printing, stationery, traveling expenses of officers, etc., which for the last term amounted to $13,203.39 to be paid from the Supreme Lodge fund. The receipts for the Supreme Lodge fund to July 31, 1911 amounted to $8,272.02, which left your Supreme Lodge treasury as follows: Disbursements ..... $13,203.39 Collections ..... 8,272.02 Deficit in S.

The Receipts in that department now equal if not surpass the Supreme Lodge receipts, see Major General's report. And there is no reason why the Supreme Lodge should be burdened with paying the salary and carrying other expenses of that department.

FACING A CRISIS At the last session I warned you of the conditions we wanted you, and urged you to prepare to meet the crisis. A native men of the convention saw the impending danger to correct it by presenting remedy after remedy, all efforts failed. I have no criticism to offer as to the action priority at that time but I feel it my solemn duty to again mention to the deplorable condition of your treasury at the salaries of the officers of the Supreme Lodge have not been September 1912, and when the session convenes at Belfast will find an enormous deficit, that can only be met insulation, and proper regulation of expenses. Already one Grand Lodge has been forced to protest at it terms unjust taxation, and it remains for the Repressor the Baltimore session to exercise their very best wisdom with this question as well as the question using the manner of handling our finances, enlacing our expenses or increasing our revenue in relation, in order that the several departments of the Supreme Lodge may be self-sustaining. There is no other option in this broad country today that is successfully offered on the loose financial methods used by our Supreme Lodge on experience of the True Reformers should be a fitting to all. At the last session I warned you of the conditions which confronted you, and urged you to prepare to meet the crisis. The conservative men of the convention saw the impending danger, and sought to correct it by presenting remedy after remedy, all of which efforts failed. I have no criticism to offer to the action of the majority at that time but I feel it my solemn duty to call your attention to the deplorable condition of your treasury at this time. The salaries of the officers of the Supreme Lodge have not been paid since September 1912, and when the session convenes at Baltimore, you will find an enormous deficit, that can only be met by wise legislation, and proper regulation of expenses. Already one Grand Lodge has been forced to protest against what it terms unjust taxation, and it remains for the Representatives at the Baltimore session to exercise their very best wisdom in dealing with this question as well as the question of adjusting the manner of handling our finances, either by reducing our expenses or increasing our revenue by wise legislation, in order that the several departments of the Supreme Lodge may be self-sustaining. There is no other organization in this broad country today that is successfully operating upon the loose financial methods used by our Supreme Lodge. The recent experience of the True Reformers should be a sufficient warning to all. ORDER TAXED AND OVER-TAXED The Order has been taxed and over-taxed, until the pay membership has almost reached the breaking point, and our attention to page 292 of the minutes of the 1911 session bears the following resolutions presented by Sir F.

MAGIC SHAMPOO DRIER COMPANY, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA Supreme Lodge its proper authority to receive a Per Capita tax upon the membership. If this resolution prevails there will be no further need of extra taxations. It will produce a revenue of about $15,000 annually that with the sale of supplies and the control of a regalia and printing plant, with proper regulations will place the Supreme Lodge on a sound financial footing. Article X of the original laws as adopted, amended and published in 1880 in 1886 read as follows: "Each Grand Lodge shall pay to the Supreme Lodge the sum of $125 annually for each representative to which they are entitled, etc. and to make annual returns to the Supreme Keeper of Records and Scal with same." The collection of $25.00 biennially, is inadequate and there should either be an increase in representative tax or a new law enacted creating a per capita tax upon the membership as outlined in the foregoing paragraph. Since I have been your Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal, I have built up a splendid revenue from the supply department, and made several efforts to direct your attention to the advisability of operating a National Supply and Regalia House, and I again urge here, there is no good reason why certain officers should be operating Regalia Houses for their personal benefit when the Order needs the revenues from sales for its maintenance; that if you are not in a position to start a plant equipped and owned by the Supreme Lodge, you should at least control the sales of supplies and regalia to Grand Lodges and members of the Order, through the office of the Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal, in order that the Supreme Lodge may receive its just portion of the revenue derived from its influence and membership, by private concurra, as is the case at present.

There should be some alteration in your financial system. The largest amount of revenue coming into the organization is through the Endowment fund, and if the Supreme Chancellor is to continue handling this fund as at present, collecting and paying them out, at will, it is certainly not good business sense to permit him to appoint a Finance Committee to audit his own accounts, as they are not independent, and subject to removal by him at any time, which of course unfit them to render the Supreme Lodge honest, efficient service. This is a burning issue and ought to be remedied at once. Officers came to the last session without reports, some with their books and vouchers missing, acknowledging their carelessness and failure to make proper reports for two years, while the Finance Committee, overlooking all these flagrant violations of the law, were losing time attempting to find flaws in the books and accounts of the Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal, which after all, they were forced to admit were properly kept, as examination by experts hardly previously shown. If the Supreme Lodge owed $13,000 and had only $8,000 with which to pay it, and it was paid, my books must show where the money came from to pay it with, if I am to live up to my obligations as a man and honored officer of the order. I refuse to conceal it and shall continue to perform my duties fearlessly as God gives me wisdom to see the right. SHOULD BE FREE TO ACT.

I believe the above suggestions if approved will sufficiently amend our laws to meet the present demands. With the facts I have plainly put before you, I trust you will rise to the full stature of your manhood at the Baltimore session, and assist in taking such steps as will secure the future of our beloved organization, and thus enable those who trust you with their interests to say: "I shall not fear."

Yours in F. C. & B.. C. K. ROBINSON, S. K. of R. & S. The rest at noon goes a long way in keeping the team in prime condition for hard and constant work. Of all animals on the farm a sheep want pure water most. They will not drink impure water if they can help it. Why make them do it? The large pasture is not always best. It does not pay to make a cow walk a long way to find her feel. Remember that a colt between ages of two and one-half and three years gets twelve new teeth. See that the old ones are properly shed. Have a veterinarian examine your horse's mouth once a year. It is a good time to fatten old and faulty ewe before cold weather comes. The most urgent need of stock this season is plenty of pure water, and in many parts of the country this is one of the most difficult things to obtain. FLOCK IMPROVEMENT. None but Vigorous Ewes Should Be Used For Breeding. Breeding ewes that are in any way diseased should not be kept in the breeding stock, for their progeny. are apt to inherit such disease and transmit it to their progeny, says W. M. Kelly in the literal New Yorker. There is plenty of difficulty with disease in a stock of sheep without inviting and fostering the very elements that will destroy the results of systematic selection. None but the best and most vigorous individuals that are free from all hereditary diseases should be selected for breeding purpose if we aim to build up a good uniform and profitable stock. Great regard should be paid to the Great regard should be paid to the lake and general contour of the creek that is selected to head the flock. His structure should be firm and massive, with a broad and capacious breast, without a disproportionate length of leg, well formed and fully developed quarters, especially the blind quarters. His loin should be stout and well knit, his features bold and masculine. A firm, muscular neck, with a bold, courageous eye, is indicative of spirit and vigor. The head should be long, but rather small and finely molded. These appearances denote excellent qualities in rams of every breed. I do not believe in selecting an extremely large ram nor those that are weak in one point and strong in another. Study the breeding even and select a ram that will have a tendency to correct any weaknesses or defects that they possess. In the purchase of the ram great care should be exercised as to what his appearance would be when in a normal condition, for it is unsafe to rely upon the form or appearance of sheep when these have been created by high and unnatural feeding or external applications. It is more than likely that their progeny will be injured rather than made better by such methods. While the selection of the ram is of great importance, yet I do not believe he represents as large a factor in the improvement of a stock of sheep as many writers would have us believe, especially when the stock is well bred and the even nearly as good in quality as the pure bred rams that are used to continue the work of further improvement. Mixing Grain For the Cows.

Motion Pictures of the National Negro Business League shown at the Lafayette Theatre—White South errors tried to discriminate against Colored Passengers Returning from Abroad—Mrs. W. D. Crum in the Metropolis—Dr. L. Garland Penn dashes through the city—General Notes. (Allen's National) News Bureau 252 West 53rd Street.) At the Lafayette Theatre last week motion pictures of the National Negro Business League which recently held its session in Philadelphia were shown for the first time in this city. The pictures being shown are by the Afro-American Film Company who are making a specialty of pictures dealing with colored Life in America. The announcement of the pictures created wide interest and many awed themselves with the opportunity of seeing the depicted action. Various group pictures of the delegates and fro to the League headquarters and other incidents of the Convention were shown. Among the pictures seen were Dr. Booker T. Washington, Hon. J. C. Napier and Emmet Scott leaving their hotel enroute to headquarters, the arrival of Dr. Washington at Convention Hall, delegates eight-sewing in Fairmount Park and the delegates to the National Press Association enroute to session in the Cherry Street Baptist Church. The colored quill pushers were an energetic and capable looking body of men. The arrival of Dr. Washington at Convention Hall, an occasion for a demonstration, and many were seen saving the hands at the arrival of Dr. Washington. The pictures on the whole were interesting and were much colored. The Lafayette theatre continues to be the mecca for lovers of high class amusement at "movie prices." It is one of the most beautiful and well appointed play houses in this city, and holds the banner for the rendezvous of our race in this city. The weekly bills at the Lafayette present a variety of high class acts. Mr. Nibur, manager of the house is one of the most proficient theatrical promoters in the country, and deserves credit for his readiness to advance the interest of the race. Dr. Roberts Back from Trip Abroad. The white Southerners are bound to show their prejudice to the coloured man, and even when they so abroad, where every man has a man's share, the antipathy of the Southern white man is bound to crop out. This was made known last Sunday afternoon by Dr. E. P. Roberts in an address before the Y. M. C. A. Dr. Roberts, who is one of the most prominent physicians of the race, and who stands high in the medical asociations of a high city has just returned from a six weeks' trip abroad, telling of his experiences when he related the incident of how he and Dr. William L. Bulkley and his family were insulted by white Southerners aboard. "The only unpleasant incident we had on our trip was when we were returning we chanced to meet several Southerners who tried to impress upon us their nativity, and that we were not particularly desired as fellow passengers. To make us feel their presence, they spoke of President Wilson as being the most desirable president, and that they policy the thee, we were deferred. Dr. Roberts said the word "nigger" was used several times. Speaking further of his trip Dr. Roberts said Marcellies, Paris and Switzerland and other points he visited he saw many colored people and was impressed with their orderliness. "From an economic viewpoint conditions are as favorable for the Negro as in America. I saw in the streets of Paris horse meat sold for food. Wages are very low in France. The women dressmakers go only a day, and they must be themselves. If the Negro is sensible and level headed a trip abroad will help him." Dr. Roberts is the chairman of the colored Y. M. C. A. of this city, and is an inspiring figure in the professional life of the race in this city. Although Dr. Roberts has reached an eminent place in the medical profession of this city he never falls to tell of the hard struggle he met with in his rise upward. Mrs. W. D. Crum in the City. Mrs. W. D. Crum, wife of the late Dr. Wm. Dr. Crum, former Collector of the city of Charleston, S. C. and at the time of his death Minister to Liberia, is spending a few weeks in this city the guest of Mrs. Lella Walters, wife of Bishop Walters, at their residence. Mrs. Crum is one of the most interesting women of the race, and is a brilliant conversationalist. Since the death of Dr. Crum, Mrs. Crum has been traveling visiting her many friends in various sections of the country, and had been visiting Buffalo when she came to this city. When seen by your correspondent last week at the residence of Bishop Walters, Mrs. Crum talked interestingly of the many problems confronting us as a race. The spoke of the centennial celebration of Perry's victory at Lake Erie, and said it was the courage of the block war cars that made the day possible. She told of how sentiment was changing in the south especially Charleston, against the town she said wished the past year. a great change has come about in Charleston showing much feeling against the race. "We have now the Jim Crow cars which are most horrible." Mrs. Crum will be in the North for several months and will then proceed to her house in Charleston. It was pleasant to that with this loyal race woman, who is the widow of one of the thru-horse producers. Mrs. Crum should serve as an inspiration to young colored womanhood and manhood. Dr. I. Garland Penn Hurtles Through the City. Dr. I. Gortand Penn, corresponding secretary of the Freedman's Aid Society, and one of the most prominent Negro laymen in America passed through the city last Monday like a thunderbolt. Dr. Penn, a much business training to his office and a lover to this city was strictly an officer of business. He arrived in the city early Monday morning and went to the home of Dr. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Marks' M. E. Church. Dr. Penn then started out to do official business in connection with the office and early Monday at Philadelphia. He moved to New York for Philadelphia.

Photo copyright by American Press Association. THE LATE MAYOR GAYNOR AT HIS DEK. WILLIAM J. GAYNOR, mayor of New York city, who died on board the steamship Baltic while on his way across the Atlantic on a short vacation, was a man of great force of character, honesty of purpose and fearlessness in the discharge of his duty as he saw it. Judge Gaynor was born near Griskany, in Quebec, county, N. Y. He was of mixed Irish and English ancestry. One of his ancestors on his mother's side fought under Magnesium in the war of the Revolution and was killed in the attack on Quebec. The neighborhood in which he was reared was called "Stoneboro." His was the usual life of a boy on a farm in a poor country. He worked in the fields and woods and did the chores. He went to the little district school each winter for a few weeks. He afterward went to the village school and the secondary and afterward taught school and finally achieved a good education. He settled in Brooklyn, N. Y., in 1875, at the age of about twenty-four. He did newspaper work. Then he practiced law. His rise in his career Photo copyright by American Press Association THE LATE MAYOR GAYA alon was steady. He was a student and was careful in his practice. He settled all the cases he could, but when he had to fight in court he was a formidable antagonist. He early began to take an interest in ppublic affairs, but not as a parishion. He at first lived in the town of Flatbush, adjoining Brooklyn. Its population was about 10,000. Its government was dependent on two political bosses and was thoroughly bad. There were much waste and peculation. All sorts of favoritism existed. There were forty saloons, only one with a license. There was a colony of roadhouses frequented by drivers to Coney Island and the beaches. Gaynor was then a silent young fellow. But he had tried several law cases at the town hall with great ability. He said one day that the government of the town was a diagrace and the people should not suffer it. People thought of the two opposing bosses and smiled, for whichever was in power the result was the same. And many even said that they had an understanding and worked together. The next thing was that every one received a printed circular from Mr. Gaynor inviting him to a public meeting in the town hall to select candidates for the approaching election. The hall was packed. Both bosses were there. The chairman was a tool of theta. Mia Early Political Creed A motion was put naming candidates. Young Gaynor quietly handed up a resolution as a substitute, naming a new set of men from top to bottom. The chairman refused to submit it to a vote. Mr. Gaynor got up on a bench in full view, and the whole town learned that he was not as quiet as he looked. He reviewed the condition of things in the crispest words. He demanded that the chairman put the substitute to a vote and told him that if he did not do so it would not be at all difficult to put him out of the window and put another in his place. The whole meeting broke out in cheers. The chairman lost his nerve and put the substitute. It was overwhelmingly carried. Two days later the two opposing banners, combined on a ticket, but were beaten three to one at the polls. Gaynor had been asked to run for the legislature, but refused. He said he wanted no office. The newspaper accounts of that time show that in his speech he declared, as he often has since, that "turn is a government of laws and not of men." He cried out that famous passage to that effect from the Massachusetts hall of rights. the town board finished on appointing Mr. Gaynor police commissioner, and he was prevailed on to serve. He went quietly and systematically to work, and everything was done in a strictly lawful manner. No lawless police raids were made, but in a few months the colony of civil places was empty, and every botel and saloon had a license, and they were made to respect the Sunday law. The town was "cleaned up." In a year Mr. Gaynor resigned his office. His work was done. He made the police force respect the law and not do as it liked. He tried to teach the same lesson to the 10,000 policemen of the city of New York. They were not permitted to do any unlawful violence. He taught them and the community that "the way to enforce the law is the way prescribed by the law itself," as he had so often declared. When a distinguished citizen once said to him that that way would not detect and punish crime he answered dryly and drolly, "Then don't." Fights Bee McLaughlin. Boon afterward Mr. Gaynor moved Association. AYNOR AT HIS DEK. into Brooklyn, then and for many years under the control of Boss McLaughlin. The politicians distrusted him. He did not court them, but went his way. The ring quietly bought up a private water company which supplied a part of the city. They paid about $200,000 for it. Boon after they made a contract with the mayor and comptroller and auditor, selling it to the city for $1,500,000. By this time Mr. Gaynor, had accumulated some money in his profession and could spend some. He brought a taxpayer's suit to prevent the carrying out of the contract. He gave all the facts, showing it to be, as he said, "a spoliation of the funds of the city." The court contest aroused the public to the highest interest. Mr. Gaynor won through all the courts. It was a year of hard work, with every powerful political and financial interest against him. First they laughed, at his suit. But he only grew more albeit and grim and worked harder and harder. The fraud was killed, and he paid all the expense, amounting to $14,000. He next took proceedings and compelled the city officials to collect the millions of arrests of taxes from the elevated railroads. The members of the ring had large holdings in them, given for their influence, and protected them. He took similar proceedings, to expose the so called Columbian friends and prevented the fraudulent bills from being paid. He did other similar things. His activity was marvelous. The common saying was that he heard every fall in the city and that nothing escaped his attention. A mayoralty election was now coming on In Brooklyn. Every one turned toward Mr. Gaynor. Hosent people wanted him for mayor. The politicians meered and said: "That is it. That is what he has been after all along. We will see him as a self-seeker." A great meeting was held in the Academy of Music, which hamed him for mayor. But he would not run. He said no one would ever be able to say that the public services he had rendered were with a view to get into office. He was even touchy about it. And that characteristic manifested itself in the many times he had been asked to be a candidate for governor and mayor. Another was nominated instead. Later he was nominated for justice of the supreme court. He wrote, declining. But leading citizens induced him to run to help the city ticket, the city being part of the ten counties making up the judicial district. There was a majority, the other way of about THE MISSING MEN Photo copyright by American Press Association SCENE WHEN MAYOR GAYNOR WAS SHOT IN 1910. Reverend and Dear Sir--It seems to me that this work of proselytizing from other religions and sects is very often carried too far. Do you not think the Jews have a good religion? Have not the Christians appropriated the entire Jewish sacred scripture? Was not the New Testament Jesus also born of the Jewish race? I only speak of it with deference. Did not we Christians get much or the most of what we have from the Jews? Why should any one work so hard to proselytize the Jew? His pure belief in the one true living (God comes down to us even from the twilight of fable and in the one world of the world) would be good. I do not think I should give you a license to preach for the conversion of the Jews in the streets of the thickly settled Jewish neighborhood which you designate. Would you not annoy you and do more harm than good? How many Jews have you converted so far? Very truly yours. W. J. GAYNOR, Mayor. Perhaps this letter also displays the mayor's own profound belief in God, which seems to be his whole creed. His use of puro Anglo-Saxon in his oral and written speech is remarkable. In August, 1910, a discharged city employee tried to assassinate Mayor Gaynor. He came up behind the mayor on the deck of an ocean steamer, where the mayor stood talking with friends who had come aboard to see him off to Europe, and, placing a pistol close to the back of the mayor's head, fired. The bullet entered back of the right ear and, changing its course two or three times, passed through his throat. It was never extracted. At first it was thought that the mayor's voice was permanently gone. But it came back by degrees, and during the past two years he made many public speeches. This assault on the mayor revealed a new phase in his character, a most unusual physical as well as mental courage. The concussion rendered him unconscious momentarily, but he struggled to his feet and kept perfectly cool. He did not manifest the slightest fear of death, although he and every one thought he was dying. He never spoke of the matter. In the fall of 1910 the Democratic party called on Mayor Gaynor to run for governor. He carefully considered everything and then sent a letter to the waiting convention saying that as a matter of duty to the people of New York city he could not resign as mayor to accept another office. He had since often said the office of mayor was larger than that of governor and second only to the presidency. Considering the immense powers vested in the mayor of New York, this is true. The mayor had all along taken a deep interest in national politics, and nothing in that field escaped him. His speech on the tariff when Cleveland first run for president was widely circulated. It was one of the best. He was a close student of national questions. For years he spoke of favoritism in freight rates as the grossest wrong of the age. Fond of the Old Farm. Every year Judge Gaynor used to visit his sisters, Miss Mary C. Gaynor and Mrs. A. V. Lynch, who live in Utica. From Utica he used to trolley to Orkidany and then walk four miles into the country to Skesterboro, to visit the old farm on which he and his brothers and sisters spent their childhood. There were thirteen brothers and sisters raised on this farm and "schooled" at a quaint little one story schoolhouse a long mile from the farm. This little schoolhouse remains just as it was forty years ago, except that it is now annually painted and kept in repair, whereas in former days it was innocent of paint, and not infrequently the snow and rain fell upon the heads of the pupils or upon their old fashioned desks because of a broken pane or leaky roof. There is only one room in the schoolhouse. Today the children of Ed Herthum, present owner of the old Gaynor homestead, are pupils of the old schoolhouse. Ed Herthum's father bought the farm buildings, stock and 100 acres of land of Mayor Gaynor's father forty odd years ago. To the old place Judre Gaynor paid a visit every summer, spending three or four hours talking over his boyhood lays and invariably doing a certain bit, he stunt as gleefully as a child. There stands in the farmyard a huge bewilderment upon which the Gaynor children need to crack nuts and play "Indian squaw," hands shading eyes which pooled into the far distant Mackenville valley, or dug a "virus act" on one big and with unstoppable arms. 30,000 in the district, and the ring majority in the city was about 20,000 in past elections. But Mr. Gaynor was elected by a majority of over 30,000, and the ring was as badly beaten in the city. It never again got back into power. It was broken for good, and Brooklyn became a part of New York city a few years later. Notable Career as Judge. The career of William J. Gaynor as a judge is well known. He was an immense worker and set a new pace. The number of cases he tried each year was beyond anything therefore known. The legislative committee on the law's delays reported all ```markdown ``` Photo © by American Press Association. MAYOR GAYNOR, FROM PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN A FKW MINUTES BEFORE HE WAS GOT. this several years ago. His opinions on the rights of the individual, on immunity from unlawful arrests and police interference and on libel and other kindred things became read and known all over this country, and some of them are legal classics. It was not thought he would remain long on the bench, but he refused to resign to run for governor, for mayor of Brooklyn and twice for mayor of Greater New York. At the end of his term he did not seek renomination or say a word on the subject, but all of the parties without an exception renominated him. He served only two years of that term. The last four years as a judge he served as a member of the appellate division of the supreme court of the state. Only Winner on His Ticket But in 1900 he was induced to resign to run for mayor of New York city. Every one on his ticket was beaten except himself. He had a majority of 73,000. His career as mayor is known to the whole country. He made no promises or alliances to get the office. He selected men to hand all the twenty-eight departments of the city to suit himself. The knowledge and insight which he manifested in the workings of the city government were an object lesson to every one. Nothing escaped his attention, and he knew the way to do everything. He cut off millions of expenses. He abolished boards and bureaus that every mayor before him had supposed to be legal fixtures. The story has been so often written and told that it need not be repeated. He made the government of the city an object lesson and pattern for the whole country. He drew the eyes of Europe even upon the city. The departments have been raised to the highest efficiency. The mayor caused all appointments and promotions to be made in numerical order from a competitive list. No money or influence was permitted to interfere with this. No one was able to make any charges of fraud, ring rule or political favoritism in the government of the city. Under this man they simply vanished. Of course a man like this had enemies, who growled and abused him. But the mayor kept right on. Gaynor as Philosopher. The philosophical turn of the mayor's mind endeared him to the community. He displayed it throughout his whole career, but it became more apparent in his wider field as mayor. He was called upon to make addresses all the time and had made more than any mayor. If not more than all the mayors, who proceeded him. And he always had something thoughtful and often witty to say. The same is true of the many lieutenants he wrote. He seemed to have no desire to consult his thoughts or opinions, so in the age with many politicians. Soon after he became mayor the public was attracted to one of the long series of his public letters. A young minister of the gospel wrote to him for a license to preach to the Jews in the most congeated Jewish quarter in order to convert them. The mayor answered as follows: Attempt to Kill Him. Fond of the Old Farm. "The judge never came here but what he climbed on that bowler and old some of the old stunts for the amusement of my kid," said Mr. Herthum. "He never came to the old place without something in his pockets for the kid, and he roamed over the farm where he declared the happiest of his days were spent. "None of my present neighbors remember the time when the Gaynors lived here, but one of the judge's old schoolmates, James Mahar, moved to Whitesboro some time ago, so that it is the farm and not the neighbors the judge came to see. "I never saw a man so stuck on his old home as Judge Gaynor was, and to see him cracking nuts and prousting on that old howdler was as good as a circus. There is no church within miles of here even now, and there wasn't In the Gaynor days, so, although the Gaynor children got their schooling near here, they had not the advantage of church or clergy unless they drove to Oriskany." Made His Debut In Boston. Mr. Gaynor made his debut as a lawyer in Boston. At that time he was just twenty-one years of age and had gone to Boston from his father's farm in New York. There he had educated himself and had started teaching school when he was only nineteen years old. Meanwhile he was studying law, and he finished his law studies and passed the Massachusetts bar examinations soon after arriving in Boston. His office in 1873 was at 8 Pemberton square. Edwin E. Snow of the Ancient and Honorable artillery knew him at that time. "I remember William J. Gaynor very well," said Mr. Snow, "for he lived on the third floor of the house at 00 Waltham street, and my wife and I also had rooms on the same floor. At the time I did not know where Gaynor came from, but somehow I got the impression that he came either from Pennsylvania or Nova Scotia. He was a hard student, and often worked over his books into into the night. Nevertheless he was the sort who could and would take time from his studies to indulge in a social chat, and many an evening I dropped into his room to smoke a pipe and talk things over wit him. "Although he struck me as a young man of strong personality and more than average ability, I never imagined of course, that some day he would be mayor of the greatest city on this hemisphere. But as I look back on it now it seems that I might have guessed something of the sort if I had been anything of a prophet. For example one thing that remains in my memory is the way in which young Gaynor always talked of big things, of great achievements. He was then pretending law, and it seemed to me that he had a better clientele, a more profitable business, than the average young lawyer fresh from the country. Still he wasn't satisfied, and he seemed to think that his energies were cramped and confined in Boston. He was always talking of New York and of the opportunities he believed were there for a young man of energy and ability. "As well as I can remember it was the latter part of 1873 that he called me into his room one night and pointed to his trunk that was already half packed. 'Well, Ed,' he remarked, with a smile. 'I'm getting ready to leave Boston. I'm going to try my luck in New York or Brooklyn.' At first I could hardly believe it. I wanted to know why he was going away when his affairs were beginning to prosper. He waved it all inside airily and said, with a certain tone of resolution, that he felt sure he could make a greater success in New York and that it was high time he should be going. Every year was precious at his time of life, he told me, and he felt that it was then or never for him to make the change. "Well, we gave him a sendoff at the old boarding house on Waltham street, and we wished him all the luck in the world. None of us guessed what he was going to accomplish, but I know that for my part I felt he was destined for big things—how big I had no conception. As the years have passed by I have followed his career with a strong personal interest." Turned Down by Tammany. Up to as late as August it was thought that Tammany would renominate Mayor Guynor, not because the organization liked him, but because of expediency. Then came the announcement that Edward E. McCall, former supreme court justice, was Tammany's choice. Then friends of Mayor Gaynor, including Jacob H. Schiff, Herman Rid- THE LAND OF THE FLOWERING WATER er, editor of the New York Staats Zeitung, and more than 100 other men prominent in the business life of the city, formed the Gaynor Fusion and Nominating league and at a mass meeting held in City Hall park named him as an independent candidate for mayor of New York city. Mayor Gaynor accepted the nomination in a characteristic speech and shortly after took passage for Europe on the steamship Baltic, a voyage from which he was destined never to return alive. A Leng Boeld. Brewster, who was returning late from his club, was received by his wife on entering the bedroom with a well rehearsed curtain lecture. Fortunately he had not turned up the gas, and as the door was not closed he quietly alispal out and rejoined his friends at the club. Two hours later he again wended his way home and picked up his cars on reaching the bedroom door. "Hi! She didn't notice it!" said he, chuckling to himself. "She's still scolding."—Glasgow Herald. HORSESHOEING SCHOOL Cornell University to Give Instruction in Practical Farriery. It has been announced that beginning next winter instruction in horse-shoeing will be given in connection with the veterinary department at Cornell university, Ithaca, N. Y. This will be the first school of its kind to be established in America. In most all countries of Europe the horse-shoe, before being permitted to engage in business, must give some time to the study of anatomy of the foot and limb so that in his practice the horse may be better safeguarded against inferior practice and knowledge of foot structure and assurance given the owner that his animal is being shod by a fully qualified man. The school to be opened at Cornell will be under the direction of the head of the veterinary department, the assistant being a graduate shoer of the German schools. At first only residents of New York state will be asked to make application for admission to the course of studies, which will include anatomy, locomotion, conformation, the treatment by shoering of diseased hoof condition, etc. The importance of this movement will appeal to every horse owner. This school at Cornell should stimulate efforts along the line of placing the shoering of horses upon a higher plane than it now occupies. MOVEMENTS TRANS. - WEEKLY. Limo Bed Ship No. 6.40 P.

AND THE SUPREME LODGE." No one deeply regretted the "break" with the Supreme Lodge more than did the Supreme Representatives from Virginia. As an evidence of this, we cite the fact that everything that was honorably possible was done in order to prevent the publicity which must necessarily follow the drastic action of the Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green and his corp of followers. He issued an order, not only suspending the Grand Lodge of Virginia, but every member of the Order in the state, including the Uniform Rank and even knights in good standing in the Order of Calanthe. This was done in direct violation of the Constitution and Laws of the Order, which he was sworn to support. Virginia has labored under this handicap since July 20, 1912. Moreover, the Supreme Chancellor published this fact in the public press of the country. During all of this time not a line has appeared in these columns relative to the controversy and we studiously avoided any reference to the disagreements. It may be well to state for the benefit of the public that there are but two ways by which a living member of the Order can be suspended from the Order. That is by becoming non-financial by refusing to pay a constitutional tax levy and by a trial at which the member was duly found guilty in accordance with the laws of the Order. Virginia and its members had paid its lawful taxes and had committed no offense against the laws and usages of the Order. The real cause of her suspension was a demand for the investigation of the financial affairs of the Supreme Lodge and the consideration of the charges that the books and accounts of some of the Supreme Lodge officers had not balanced in more than four years and that the Finance Committee of the Supreme Lodge had not been able to make a proper report. It was openly asserted that Su- preme Chancellor Green's report had not balanced for that length of time. This then, together with Virginia's contention that the Supreme Lodge under its present Constitution and By-laws had no lawful authority to levy a tax upon the members of the Order in states having Grand Lodges constituted the sum and substance of our offending. We read with much interest, then the well written editorial utterances of the Birmingham, Ala. Reporter. Under the caption of "John Mitchell, Jr. and the Supreme Lodge," it said: It is to be regretted that such conditions prevailed in the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias as has been variously reported in the weekly press since the adjournment of the body. Charges and charges were made at that session that it appears to us it would have been better if they had not been made. The most grievous matter before the Supreme Lodge was the proposition coming up from Virginia, in which John Mitchell, Jr. and the Supreme Chancellor, were contending over a point of law. It continued: Perhaps Mr. Mitchell's case would have appeared at a better angle had he submitted to the rule of the Supreme Chancellor, paid the levied tax over a protest, and then made his fight before the convention. With so many other states belin in the same predicament as Virginia, it appears to us that the Supreme Lodge might have taken a different position. For the information and education of our contemporary this is just what we did at Indianapolis, Ind. in 1911. The Grand Lodge of Virginia paid $690.20 under protest and the Grand Court of Virginia paid $260.00 under similar conditions. The Supreme Lodge and the gentlemen controlling it did not take a different position. The money paid only whipped their appetites for more money and the leaders of the machine had the effrontery to demand that the Grand Chancellor of Virginia become personally responsible for the money that should have been paid by every subordinate lodge member and that this amount be paid by July 1st, 1912. At this time Virginia had paid every dollar it owed the Supreme Lodge under the Constitution and Laws of the Order and this money was wring from her members by political methods, which were a disgrace to Pythianism and which have now become to be known as "Illinois politics." The suggestion to again pay money under protest reminds us of a society meeting said to have been held in this neighborhood. One of the members arose and said, "Brother chairman, I move that Brother Bill Jones hold the money of this society until next meeting." Just as the chairman got up to put the motion, another member arose and said, "Brother chairman. I am not ready for that motion until I know who is going to hold Brother Bill Jones." With the statement of Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal Robinson that the Supreme Lodge officers had expended our $950.31 without anything tangible to show for it, is there a man in the United States who would think that the Supreme Representatives from Virginia would "cough up" twelve hundred dollars more under protest, with no one in sight to hold the "Bill Jones" who holds the money. Not much. It may be well to remark here that every state in the Order was deficient in paying this unconstitutional assessment, including Supreme Chancellor Greene's own state, and yet Virginia was singled out as a target because forsooth it demanded an investigation of the financial affairs of the Supreme Lodge. The days of slave-driving are over hereabouts, by the white folks, who do not try it and certainly by the colored folks who should know better even though they may live in Illinois or Louisiana. How did Virginia's Supreme Representatives meet the issue? They offered to put up every dollar of the money claimed by the Supreme Lodge officials in es crow, that is, in the hands of a disinterested third party, whether the amount claimed was twelve hundred dollars or three thousand dollars and to bring a friendly suit to determine the legality of the tax levy. If the Supreme Lodge was right, it could take the money. If Virginia was right, she would have the money returned to her. The Supreme Chancellor refused to permit the Supreme Lodge to receive the biennial tax, about which there was no contention and by the payment of which the Grand Lodge of Virginia was entitled to the pass word. The Reporter said: Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Green, both as individuals and in their official capacity, have done much good for the people of the Negro race. In their official capacity they have been the means of building the great Pythian Order up to remarkable heights in their respective states. They stand too well, are men of too much brain to differ so radically on a point of law, and to maintain their contensions to such a degree that thousands of their fellows would be denied the rights and privileges of the Supreme Lodge anywhere within the jurisdiction. It seems to us that the above statement is calm, conservative and helpful. We hope that Supreme Chancellor Green will read it with It may appear to Mr. Mitchell now to be necessary to go into the courts to conserve his rights. This expedition could have been avoided if all parties concerned had been disposed to take a justifiable course with reference to those matters before them. The above is the gospel truth. We subscribe to the following, too: The race is not far enough advanced in its efforts to build up constructive enterprises and organizations to have any of them hampered by unreasonable fights between the leaders; that might be solved by a little-judicious handling. Somebody must stoop to conquer. Somebody must stifle ambition and look forward to the protection of the people. No organization can stand two leaders at the same time. It lily betides any of us to preach from our pulpits and in our race journals unity of action for the general good of all if we will not observe this wholesome principle ourselves. Let us be fair to ourselves. Let us be fair to the people whom re would serve. It is true that no organization can stand two leaders at the same time and it is also true that no organization can stand one Czar at any time and maintain its self respect and protect its usefulness. Virginia demands her rights. We exhausted all remedies within the Order before we made an appeal outside of the Order. When citizens like Col. Thomas M. Crump, Secretary-Manager of the Southern Aid Society, one of the largest institutions of the kind among colored people in the United States, E. R Jefferson, M. D., a leading practitoner of this city; Col. Thomas H. Wyatt, senior member of the firm bearing his name and Vice-President of the Mechanicians, Savings Bank, together with a large number of other leading Virginians, including I. D. Burrell, M. D., one of the wealthiest colored citizens of Southwest Virginias, are insulted and kept out of the Supreme Lodge for no just cause whatever, it seems to us that "patience has ceased to be a virtue." Our contemporary delivers a lecture upon preaching unity of action for the general good of all, but there is something more than this. Race enterprises and organizations must be built up upon sound foundations of honesty and square dealing and not upon corruption and deceit. Men who are "wolves in sheep's clothing" must be exposed and a standard of official life demanded that will "square" with the teachings of the Holy Writ. C. K. Robinson's charges are not answered. He is guiltless, so far as we know, of any crime, but because he exposed disgraceful conditions, he has been punished, forced out of a lucrative position and the empty title "Past Supreme Chancellor" handed him as a balm for his injured feelings. Virginia demanded an investigation and with charges in her hands against the Supreme Chancellor, admission was denied. An unconstitutional tax had been levied. Was it to defend the name of the Order? That suit had been settled. Was it to pay endowment or sick benefits to the distressed? No. Other funds were requisite for this. For what purpose then was this special unconstitutional agreement made upon a reputed combined membership of over 150,000? Simply to pay salaries, which instead of being reduced have been increased. What is the pass word? It is a the unconstitutional mandate of the Supreme Chancellor and his supporters, would pay from the several grand jurisdictions, or states, in one year $10,790.50. For information concerning these figures, see Page 262 of Supreme Lodge Minutes of 1911. Who can justify this species of financiering? Can the states afford it? Can the Southern states, the Grand Lodges, afford to put out of the Order and thereby annul the policies of the members who refuse to pay this unconstitutional tax? We shall see. Certainly, we are facing a crisis. For our part, we are unwilling to be identified with methods and practices herewith disclosed. A reputation of a lifetime is too much to risk in such questionable proceedings. As to threats of personal and financial injury, we may well reply in the language of Shakespeare: "There is no terror. Cassius, in your threats. For I am armed so strong in honesty That they pass me by as the little winds. Which I respect not." ANOTHER SEGREGATION ORDINANCE. The Negro-hating white elements in Baltimore have not given up the struggle to segregate the colored people in that city. On last Monday another segregation ordinance was reported to the Second Branch of the City Council by Councilman Curtis, on the part of the Second Branch of the Committee on Police and Jail. It is stated that the new measure is made to conform to so much as is known of the Court of Appeals' decision holding the West ordinance invalid, and also to fully protect the rights of all citizens, irrespective of color. This measure while professing to do one thing actually does another. It is a pactet, adjustible ordinance which virtually gives the Police Board and its representatives and employees the power to do as they see fit in the location of white and colored people. While professing to protect property rights, it practically confacates these rights. The ordinance provides that a citizen may be denied the right to occupy his own property. The language used is as follows After prohibiting the occupancy of any house in a "section" of any block by either a white person or a colored person, if the remainder of the "section" is occupied by persons of the opposite race, and denying a block as both sides of the longitudinal part of any street of the city lying between the two nearest streets completely crossing it at each end, and a section as either side of each block, the ordinance provides that: "No new residence shall be erected in any section of the city unless a declaration be made in the application for permit to build stating whether said residence or residences shall be occupied by white or colored people, and that a permit shall not be issued unless at least a section occupied nearest to one end or the other of the section desired to be built upon shall be occupied partly or entirely by the race the building or buildings are to be occupied by." Violations of the provisions of the ordinance are to be punished by a fine of from $5 to $50 for each day the violation continues, or imprisonment in the city jail from 30 days to a year. It is expressly provided in this connection that the owner or agent of a building who shall permit it to be used in violation of the ordinance shall be deemed to be equally guilty of a misdemeanor with the person occupying the building and shall be subject to similar penalties. It is also provided that whenever a majority of the leasehold owners resident in any block shall declare in a written and signed statement filed with the Police Board that they desire their block to be relieved of the preventive provisions of the ordinance then such block shall be open to the occupancy of both white and colored persons and shall so remain until the residents of that block shall be constituted entirely of white or of colored persons, when it shall again be subject to the preventive sections of the ordinance. The ordinance is to take effect as soon as passed and signed by the Mayor. The report submitting it to the Council was signed by all the Democratic members of the committee which had it under consideration but it was not signed by the Repub-Healn members. We are at a loss to understand why it is that the colored Democrats of Baltimore and vicinity, were not able to bring to bear enough influence to at least split the Democratic vote upon this question, even if not able to defeat it. The records show that the Republican members declined to sign the measure. We cannot for the life of us see wherein this new ordinance is less objection than the former or wherein it is constitutional. To deny to one the use of his property is to confiscate the right to peaceably occupy it. Race prejudice now is everywhere rampant in this country. Let us hope that with the lapse of a Despite the wrong-doing in some quarters and criticisms by racial oracles in some others, the indications are that colored people are not losing confidence either in their industrial, fraternal benefit and insurance enterprises. Honesty in dealing and straight-forwardness in management have done much to give to reliable institutions the confidence that they now enjoy $3.50 Recipe Free. For Weak Men.

Bandit Gets $1999 Morris Council, a clerk in the office of the Wilmington and Philadelphia Traction company, was held up in his office in Wilmington, Del., by a lone highwayman and the thief procured a satchel said to contain $1989. The man backed out of the office with the gun pointed at Council and then made his escape. At the time of the robbery Council's assistant, Harry Short, was in another part of the car barn, and the robber, who wore a short mask across the upper part of his face, entered the office. Pointing a gun at the clerk, he commanded him to "open that safe and hand out the money." The clerk heitelted, but when he was threatened with death complied, and the man, who was evidently left-handed, because he handled the gun with his left hand, ran from the office with his loot. No trace of the man could be found, although within three minutes after he left the car barn employees were summoned and notice was sent to the police station. An automobile was heard moving on Delaware avenue westward about this time, and it is supposed the man left in this machine. Coatesville Y. M. C. A. Burns. William F.

SCHMIDT AND WALTER Priest and Ammuller and Whig He Confessed Mattering. Mana Schmidt an assistant priest at St. Joseph's Cathedral at 68 West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street, New York, has confessed murdering and dismembering the body of Anna Annabelle and depositing the parts of the torus in the Hudson river. The girl was a servant in the house of another priest. Mystery surrounding the hiding of parts of the body behind the locked confinement of tub citizenship, but New York officers were successful in finally running down one claw and after loading Schmidt obtained a complete confession from him. PRIEST ADMITS KILLING WOMAN Says He Hacked Body With a Knife and Saw. LIVED WITH HER IN FLAT New York Clergyman Tells How He Wrapped Up Portions of Body and Drapped Them in River From Ferry- boat. The most growsome murder since the killing of Guldensupps was revealed when Hans Schmidt, a Catholic priest, 32 years old, of New York confessed to the slaying and cutting up of the body of Anna-Amuriel 21 years old, in a flat at 68 Broadhurst avenue, where he was living with her. The plain girl had been employed at the parish home of St. Boniface's church. Forty-seventh street and Second avenue, where Schmidt became acquainted with her some time ago. She disappeared about two weeks ago. She was about to become a mother, and when this was discovered, "she was ordered to leave immediately. She went at once to the priest, who placed her in the suit. His confession clears the mystery of the torso found in the North river a week ago sowed in a pillow case, the identity of which has been a puzzle ever since its discovery. Schmidt, who lives in the parish house of St. Joseph's church, at 606 West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street, with other priests connected with the church, was arrested by Inspector. Fauret and charged with the murder. He broke down and in a wild frenzy of fear made a complete confession no horrifying in its details that the inspector could only compare it to the ravings of a madman. The young priest told how he had fallen in love with the pretty girl, who had been in this country only three years; how he had rented a flat, and furnished it; how he had previously married the girl with a cormony self-performed, and how finally he had entered the flat at midnight August 31, armed with a new butcher knife. "Anna was cold, " he cried pacing the floor and wringing his hands. "I enforced satty and she awoke and recruited pea. "Anna, I said, I love you deeply. I am now going to prove it." he kept aboard the bleeding body of the three brothers and taking a sure chance he had purchased on the basis he presented to de- velop the hell. "Fled," she move in his confession. "I will all her wrims, and having laid them on, all off her legs close to the wrist, and in all, I made five bundles of the hair." Having out up the body, the shy man was asked with the terrible fear of discovery. He ran about the apartments like a madman trying to think how to get rid of the bloody witness of his death. All night he considered then he decided definitely on his action. He wrapped the portions of the body in sheets and pillow slips and determined to throw them into the Hudson. On the following evening he carried the torso from the apartment, carefully wrapped in a pillow slip and waited until he brought the coast was clear before descending the three flights of stairs with the heavy bundle. Having reached the street unseen he made his way to an Eighth avenue car, boarded it, rode to One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street, transferred to a crosstown car and proceeded to the Fort Lee ferry. Standing on the rear end of the boat he waited until it reached midstream, and then, leaning over quietly dropped the bundle into the river. Five distinct times he made the trip from the Broadhurst avenue flat across the Hudson, each time bearing a portion of Miss Aumuller's body, and each time dropping it into the water. Having cleared the apartment of the most damming evidences of his crime, he was still confronted with the blood-stained mattress on which he had killed his victim. For some time he was puzzled as to how to dispose of this bulky witness against him. Finally he carried it in the dark vacant lot at One Hundred and Forty-fourth street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues, and there it on fire. A portion of this mattress is now in the possession of the police. German Airships Wrecked; 16 Dead. Two soldiers were killed and another dirigible Zeppelin balloon narrowly escaped destruction when the great German military airship Z-2 was wrenched from the hands of 150 men and carried aloft by a sudden ust of wind near Berlin. Torpedo boat destroyers, with their searchlights, remained all night at the scene of Tuesday's airship catastrophe in which only seven of a crew of twenty-one were saved, when the Zeppelin airship L-1 was wrecked by a hurricane in the North sea of Helgoland. One body was recovered Tuesday night and six more were found Wednesday, including those of Captain Metzing, chief of the naval airship service, and Captain Hanne, commander of the wrecked dirigible. probably in the cabin of the airship, which lies at the bottom of one of the deepest parts of the North sea. The hurricane, which destroyed the airship turned into a steady gale and it has been impossible to locate the wreck. The L-1 was on a voyage from the mainland to Heligoland, twenty-eight miles. This is the twelfth accident to befall the Zeppelin airships and the first to be accompanied by loss of life. The voyage was apparently without incident until the disaster came, when the L-1 was struck by the hurricane eighteen miles north of Heligoland. The great airship was hurled to the surface of the sea, where she was soon pounded to pieces by the wind and the waves. According to the incomplete reports the big ship floated for about an hour and then buckled in the middle before she sank. Fifty. thousand dollars, in transit from the Chase National bank, of New York, to the Savannah Bank and Trust company, in Savannah, Ga., was stolen from a portable safe on an Atlantic Coast Line train between Jersey City and Savannah. It should have reached Savannah on Wednesday. Another package containing $21,900, from New York to banks in Valdosta and Brunswick, Ga., also was robbed on the same train. The seals of the $50,000 package seemed undisturbed when the robbery was discovered. Express company officials refuse to talk. W. F. McCauley, president of the Savannah Bank and Trust company, confirms the loss of the $50,000 and says it was shipped out from New York Monday on train No. 9 of the Atlantic Coast Line and should have reached Savannah on Wednesday at 6 a.m. The Southern Express company has hurried detectives to Savannah, W. J. Hockaday, general manager of the company, and a representative of a detective agency from Atlanta, reached Savannah and began work on the case. The name of the express manager was not made known. Killed For Old Attack on Woman. Hugh Hera forty years old, of Sayra, Pa., was killed by John Samonski, a shoemaker, of Sayra, Pa., as the result of a confession made by the wife of the man who did the shooting, who said the victim lured her into the woods twenty years ago at Waverly and attacked her. The confession of the wife after twenty years of silence seemed to turn Samonski into a maniac. Horn was employed as a clerk in a grocery store Mrs. Samonski involved two other men highly respected, in Waverly, with complicity in the crime to ruin her, when she was but a slip of a girl. She is not yet forty years old. Samonski attempted to escape but was caught. He said, "I intended to kill all three of the men, who accomplished my wife's rule." Painter Falls From Pole to Death. Evan Williams, a painter, was killed by a fall from the top of a trolley pole at Stington, Pa. $650,000 PEARL NECKLACE FOUND Picked Up in London Street by Workingman. A mysterious package found in a street in London was found to contain fifty-eight of the fifty-nine pearls com- posing the $650,000 necklace that dis- appeared mysteriously last July while in transit from Paris of London. Scotland Yard admitted that the pearls have been positively identified as those that made up the costly neck face, but the police would say no more about the matter. The pearls were found by a workingman on his way from home. He turned them over to the first policeman he saw. Two weeks ago five men were arrested charged with complicity in the theft of the pearl neckface, and in the Bow street police court were remanded without ball for trial. Police detectives continued to work on the case, and it was alleged that evidence was found involving postal employees in the theft. The costly neckface was assembled by Max Meyer, a Paris jeweler, and he sent it to London in July by registered post. It disappeared en route, the jeweler told the police. INFERNAL MACHINE FOR OTIS Explosive Contrivance Sent to Owner of Los Angeles "Times." An infernal machine, which failed to explode, was sent to General Harrison Gray Otis, owner of the Los Angeles "Times." The "Times" is the newspaper whose plant was destroyed as part of the dynamiting activities of James B. McNamara and Ortio E. McMmalgal. The mysterious package was sent through the mail. The package, was about four by five inches. When it was set on end it clicked like an alarm clock. Burgess and Shy, detectives, went to General Otis's home, got the box and took it to police headquarters. A powder expert was sent for and, after an examination of the package, advised that it be taken to the river where is could be opened without damage to any one. Took Laudanum by Mistake. Robert Harrington, of Whittings, N. J., swallowed a dose of laudanum in mistake for a cough mixture, and his family kept him walking for two hours until a stomach pump could be had. Congresasman Elopes Captain George Curray, rough rider governor of New Mexico and member of congress, cloped from Washington with Miss Martha Cora Gans, of Un with Miss Martha Cora Gans, of Untown, Pa., to Rockville, Md., where they were married by Rev. Samuel R. White a Baptist minister. Captain Curray is 48 and Miss Gans 21. Lutherans to Raise $10,000,000. As a part of the celebration in 1917 of the four hundredth anniversary of the Reformation, the General Council of the Erangelical Lutheran Church in session in Toledo, O., adopted a resolution to raise $2,000,000 for the minister's pension fund and missionary work. The Jubilee Committee of the council will co-operate with other general Lutheran bodies in this country to unite in making a total fund of $10,000,000. Sticka Head In Flywheel. Broken in health and tired of life at the age of 63 years, Wallace D. Richardson, stock man in a Bleecker street hat factory in New York stuck his head into a five foot flywheel making 200 revolutions a minute. His body, with the head badly crushed was found near the flywheel shortly afterward. Letters on his person told that he intended to seek death to end his troubles. Farmer Robbed and Slein. James Luscomb, supposed to be a well to do farmer of Canaseraga, N. Y., was murdered near the entrance to the yards of the New York Central Railroad in Charlotte near Rochester, N. Y. Robbery was the motive, as Luscombe's pockets were turned inside out. A note for $2,100, payable to Luscombe in one year, was found near the body. Man Killed By Wife in Pistol Duel. William Evans, a restaurant keeper, thirty-five years old, was killed and his wife was probably fatally wounded in a revolver fight between them in front of a rooming house in Sedalia, Mo. The shooting iscribed to jealousy on the part of Mrs. Evans. Witnesses say she called her husband from the house and fired five shots at him. He fired twice before he fell dead.

Photo by American Press Association MAYOR GAYNOR DIES AT SEA New York Executive Stricken With Heart Disease. SON SEES FATHER DIE Fallowing His Re-Nomination by Great Town Meeting of Citizens He Sailed For Europe in Search of Health. Mayor William J. Gaynor died on the steamer Baltic in mid-ocean at 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, according to a dispatch received in New York from Rufus W. Gaynor, his son. News of his death we received in a message sent by wireless and cable to Robert Adamson, his secretary, by Rufus Gaynor who sailed with his father. The message read as follows: "Father died Wednesday at 1 o'clock due to heart fatigue. Notify mother." Mayor Gaynor sailed from New York a fast falling man on the morning of September 4. An hour before he sailed only one man, his secretary, knew of his plans outside of members of his immediate family. The Mayor's announced purpose was a brief vacation on the ocean. He felt that the tonic effect of the salt air would restore him to some measure to health. The Baltic was due at Queenstown about 2 A.M. Friday. He expected to call for New York from Liverpool September 18 and to reach New York a week later. Word came from London that Mayor Gaynor's body would be sent to New York on board the Canard Hite steamer Lusitania, which sails from Liverpool on Saturday. The mayr died as the Baltic was nearing the other side. The news of his death was sent by wireless to Crookhaven by Rufus Gaynor and relayed from Crookhaven in New York by cable. The mayor's secretary received the cablegraph, announcing the Mayor's death, while he was at his House in Brooklyn. Mr. Adamson notified Mrs. Gaynor at the mayor's home. --- the undersigned, are surprised and instruction there should be any rules made to segregate employees of the national protest against this as a plain insult, male injury to Colored Americans, the republic.

In this he was unsuccessful Mrs. Gaynor, with one of her unmarried daughters is at St James The other two unmarried daughters are at boarding school up the Hudson The mayor's other son is at the mayor's Brooklyn home. The mayor had two married daughters, Mrs. W. Seward Wobb and Mrs. Harry K. Vingut. Before the mayor saluted his secretary issued a statement denying reports of the mayor's serious illness. The recent attack of the old throat trouble due to the wound inflicted on him on August 9, 1910 by James J. Gallagher just as he was about to leave for his brief vacation in Europe, had entirely disappeared according to Mr. Adamson and the mayor expected to return and enter the campaign with his id time vigor. The mayor himself just before leaving, spoke of his condition as follows: "I have been nearly four years mayor and have not yet had any vacation. I suppose almost everybody will concede that I have one now. I have been laid up a few days with one of the sharp attacks. I occasionally have from my mishap of a few years ago, but I am now over it, and hope I never shall have another." Mayor Gaynor's sudden death completely overturns the municipal political situation. It removes from the field a candidate for mayor who was expected to cut heavily into the vote of the fusion nominee, John Purrey Mitchel, and leaves only the tickets nominated by the Democrats and the Fusionists. The former is headed by Edward E. McCall, former chairman of the Public Service Commission of this district. Mayor Gaynor was placed at the head of the independent ticket after Tammany Hall has refused him a renomination. He was to lead those who opposed the regular Democratic organization and yet were unwilling to join the fusion of Republicans and Progressives. His standard was the shovel, reminding voters of his efforts to hasten the building of the new subways. The Mayor also said it was emblematic of his intention to "clean the graffers out."

Mrs. Baxter, who faced death for five minutes, finally escaped from her half crazed husband and ran through the building to the backyard and found refuge with neighbors. After the killing Baxter reloaded his gun and walked north to the Belt Line Railway tracks. The police began a search for him as soon as they were notified. HAIR PARLORS.

Text of the Lesson, Ex. xxxii, 15-20; 30-25—Memory Veres, 19, 20—Golden Text, I John v. 21—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearna. We may summarize Ex. xxx to xxxl, inclusive, as the Lord's instructions to Moses concerning the tabernacle, of which the principal vessel was the ark of the covenant containing the two tables of the law. We cannot think of Israel as a nation without a tabernacle or temple, and when finally restored we shall see a fulfillment of Ezek. xl to xviii. The reason why of the tabernacle is seen in Ex. xvv. 6. "Let them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them," and concerning the temple that is yet to be we read in Ezek. xiii. 7. "Son of man, the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever, and My holy name shall the house of Israel no more doff." Compare Rev. xx. 35. The section concerning Moses with God in the mount ends with these words: "And He gave unto Moses when He had made an end of commining with Him upon Mount Sinai two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God" (Ex. xxx. 18). Today's lesson gives us the sad, sinful, earthly side of the story while Moses was almost entirely six weeks. The people who had seen the love of God to them and His power on their behalf in Egypt, at the Red Sea, in the giving of the mumma and qualls and water from a rock, and had heard His voice out of the mist of the fire, could not live an ordinary, uneventful life for forty days without wondering what had become of God and of Moses, their leader. If we are special providences, special indications that God is working for us, handfuls of purpose dropped for us (Suth II, 10), manifest tokens of Ils living care, we are ready to sing and praise; but if weeks or months or even days come and go and there is nothing out of the ordinary, do we give Him occasion to say of us, "Lleased are they that have not seen, yet have believed," or "O ye of little faith?" When they came to Aaron with their complaint concerning the absence of Moses and their request for something visible to worship, what a splendid opportunity Aaron had to stand for God to remind them of the command they had just heard out of the midst of the dre—not to bow down to the likeness of anything, to call their attention to the daily manas an evidence of the constant care of Jelovah and to insist that they worship the Lord their God and serve Him only. It seems as if Joshua would have done so, or a man like Daniel or his friends. How can we account for Aaron's listening to them, asking for their gold earrings, melting them into the form of a calf and deliberately fashioning it with a graving tool? (Verse 40) When Moses rebuked Aaron for his great sin, hear part of his reply: 'Thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief, for they said unto me, make us gods which shall go before us. * * * I asked for their gold, so they gave it to me; then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf' (Verse 24) But what shall be said of preachers who, to please the people and keep their position, either keep back the truth or teach what is not truth? All who stand before others as leaders should remember Gal. 1. 10; I Thess. 11. 4. Notice how Moses stood with God in his showing them by a most striking object lesson how they had broken the law, in his grinding the calf to powder and making them drink it, in his call for those on the Lord's side to stay even their own kindred if guilty of worshiping the idol. The response of Levi is referred to in Mat. 11. 5-7, some of the words being "the fear wherewith he beared Me and was afraid before My name; * * * He walked with Me in peace and equity and did turn many away from iniquity." Their faithfulness that day is referred to by Moses in these words: "Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren nor knew his own children" (Deut. xxill. 9). This is part of what it means to be on the Lord's side, not simply giving a testimony in meeting, but standing against our greatest ones if they stand against God, even as our Lord said, "He that loveth father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me, and he that loveth son or daughter more than He is not worthy of Me" (Chap. 3, 57-58). Consider the pleading of Moses with the Lord before he came down from the desert; for there the Lord told him of Israel's sin and how they had Affirmed themselves and turned made quietly out of the way (verse 7-14). Counselor also his request to be blotted out of God's book rather than not have Israel forgiven (verse 31. 32). God think of the Lord Jesus being actually made sin for us. FASHION HINT By JUDIC CHOLLET The design shown is particularly good for use on a sofa pillow top or for a small table cover. The embroidery may be done in outline stitch, chain stitch or in the long and short stitch, or the design may be braided with fine suture braid. To outline take short stitches, keeping the needle toward the right, and FOR PILLOW OR TABLE COVER work upward. Chain stitch is a form of outline stitch and resembles the stitch made by a single thread machine if done evenly. First fasten the thread on the wrong side and then take a straight stitch on the stumped line, throw the thread around the needle, pull it all the way through, thus making a loop. Put the needle through on the wrong side again as near as possible to the spot where it was brought up, make the second stitch like the first one and outline in the same way. For the long and short stitch take short, irregular stitches close together, working alantwise from the center toward the outer edges of the pattern. No padding is required. To apply the soutache braid make an incision in the goods at some point of the pattern, insert the end of the braid, fastening it on the wrong side; then follow the design, turning the curves carefully, and saw by machine either in the center or on the edge of the braid, but avoid cutting more than is necessary.

Robinson's Timely Report: To the Officers and Representatives to the Sixteenth Blennial Session to be held at Baltimore, Maryland, August 25th to 30th, '13. Greeting: St. Louis, Mo., July, 1913. Dear Sir and Brother—As the time approaches for the next Supreme Lodge Session, I feel that the representatives and officers should know our true financial condition, in order that they may think and plan for the betterment of those conditions. The very short time allowed at the Supreme Lodge Session for the consideration of vastly important questions, is not sufficient to permit the members to become thoroughly familiar with conditions as they really exist. At this time I feel it highly important to lay these matters before you, believing as I do that the hearts of the majority of our members are true to the principles of our great institution.

The foregoing amounts do not include the general expenses for office rent, printing, stationery, traveling expenses of officers, etc., which for the last term amounted to $13,203.39 to be paid from the Supreme Lodge fund. The receipts for the Supreme Lodge fund to July 31, 1911 amounted to $5,272.02, which left your Supreme Lodge treasury as follows: Disbursements $13,203.39 Collections 8,272.02 Deficit in S. L. Revenue $4,931.27 I believe that Uniform Rank Department should be self-sustaining. The Receipts in that department now equal if not surpass the Supreme Lodge receipts, see Major General's report. And there is no reason why the Supreme Lodge should be burdened with paying the salary and carrying other expenses of that department.

The supreme Lodge have not been a secession convene at Baltimore that can only be met by expenses. We have been forced to protest again remains for the Representatives their very best wisdom in all as the question of fining our finances, either saving our revenue by wishing several departments of fining. There is no other order that is successfully operated by our Supreme Lodge. Informers should be a sufferer. The disbursements and collections of the Endowment Department of the Supreme Lodge, were as follows: Endowment expense disbursed.....$26,981.00 Endowment collected.....14,550.00 Deficit in Endowment Revenue.....$12,431.00 This left the total deficit as follows: Deficit in Supreme Lodge.....$4,936.00 Deficit in Endowment.....12,431.00 Total Deficit in both.....$17,367.00 This enormous deficit was met by the Emergency fund.

FACING A CRISIS. At the last session I warned you of the conditions which confronted you, and urged you to prepare to meet the crisis. The conservative men of the convention saw the impending danger, and sought to correct it by presenting remedy after remedy, all of which efforts failed. I have no criticism to offer as to the action of the majority at that time but I feel it my solemn duty to again call your attention to the deplorable condition of your treasury at this time. The salaries of the officers of the supreme Lodge have not been paid since September 1912, and when the session convenes at Baltimore, you will find an enormous deficit, that can only be met by wise legislation, and proper regulation of expenses. Already be Grand Lodge has been forced to protest against what it terms unjust taxation, and it remains for the Representatives at the Baltimore session to exercise their very best wisdom in dealing with this question as well as the question of adjusting the manner of handling our finances, either by reducing our expenses or increasing our revenue by wise legislation, in order that the several departments of the Supreme Lodge may be self-sustaining. There is no other organization in this broad country today that is successfully operating upon the loose financial methods used by our Supreme Lodge. The recent experience of the True Reformers should be a sufficient warning to all. ORDER TAXED AND OVER-TAXED er has been taxed and over-taxed, until the ship has almost reached the breaking point to page 293 of the minutes of the following resolutions presented by the D. G. C. of Michigan to be acted upon by Baltimore station this year. "Paragraph 40.

MAGIC SHAMPOO DRIER COMPANY, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA Supreme Lodge its proper authority to receive Per Capita tax upon the membership. If this collection prevails there will be no further need of extra taxations. It will produce a revenue of about $15,000 annually that with the sale of supplies and the control of a retail and printing plant, with proper regulations, will place the Supreme Lodge on a sound financial footing. Article X of the original laws as adopted, amended and published in 1880 in 1886 read as follows: "Each Grand Lodge shall pay to the Supreme Lodge the sum of $125 annually for each representative to which they are entitled, etc. and to make annual returns to the Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal with same." The collection of $25.00 biennially, is inadequate and there should either be an increase in representative tax or a new law enacted creating a per capita tax upon the membership as outlined in the foregoing paragraph. Since I have been your Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal, I have built up a splendid revenue from the supply department, and made several efforts to direct your attention to the adaptability of operating a National Supply and Regalia House, and I again urge here there is no good reason why certain officers should be operating Regalia Houses for their personal benefit when the Order needs the revenues from sales for its maintenance; that if you are not in a position to start a plant equipped and owned by the Supreme Lodge, you should at least control the sales of supplies and regalia to Grand Lodges and members of the Order, through the office of the Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal, in order that the Supreme Lodge may receive its just portion of the revenue derived from its influence and membership, by private concerns, as is the case at present.

William F. Havemeyer, who was a member of Havemeyer Brothers, sugar refiner, at the time that concern was absorbed by the American Sugar Refining Company twenty-five years ago, was found dead in bed at 11 East Forty-fifth street, New York, in the apartments of his son-in-law, William R. Willcox, former chairman of the public service commission with whom he lived. Death was ascribed to angina pectoris. Mr. Havenmeyer had enjoyed comparatively good health, and his sudden taking away was a great shock to the members of his family and his friends. Mr. Havenmeyer was a son of Mayor William F. Havenmeyer, of New York. He dined at the Hotel Gotham on Saturday evening with Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Havenmeyer, his son and daughter-in-law, and with Mrs.: John J. Hershak, the latter's mother. He returned home at 9 o'clock. After retiring to his room he called in Arthur Clinton, a negro butler, who has been employed by the family for thirty years, and complained of a pain in the chest. He supported that a suspicious plaster might give him relief, and the butler helped him put one on. Then he went to bed. As I clock in the morning the butler went to Mr. Havenmayer's room and stepped in the door. There was no response. He again knocked at 4 o'clock, and hearing nothing decided that Mr. Havenmayer was sleeping. and also o'clock in the morning Mr. Thompson, who was at her summer home in Mount Valley, telephoned the butler and asked how her father was footed. The butler hurried to Mr. Havemore room, where he found Mr. Thompson dead in his bed. York on March 31, 1850. He was marrier in 1877 to Mrs. Josephine L Harmon, a daughter of Alexander Harmon, of New York. Mrs. Havemeyer died fourteen years ago. Mr. Havemeyer engaged in business of refining sugar with his brothers as a young man, but had no connection with that industry after his firm passed into the control of the American Sugar Refining Company. The Havemeyers now connected with that company are Mr. Havemeyer's cousins. "Corpse" Comes to Among Mourners Laid out for burial and ready for the undertaker. "Aunt" Harriet Law, an aged colored woman of George town, Del., astonished her family by rising from her bed and demanding to know what the trouble was. Undertaker John Carey, who was ready to embalm the woman, was compelled to postpone his work, and it was not until late at night that the colored woman died. "Aunt" Harriet was supposed to have died Saturday night, and the family "lald her out" and then sent for the undertaker. He had arrived with his embalming tools and was getting ready to go to work while several white persons who had known "Aunt" Harriet had come to the house. The visitors had entered the death chamber, ushered in by the weeping colored people, when a gust of wind blew the door to with a slam. Before their astonished eyes "Aunt" Harriet suddenly rolled her eyes, turned her head over and then sat straight up or the bed on which she had been prepared for embalming. The colored folks ran. Medical aid was summoned and the old woman was kept alive until later, when physicians proounced her dead beyond doubt. Woodrow Not "Nice" Name. The name "Woodrow" will not grace the map of the state of Illinois The name "Woodrow" will not grace the map of the state of Illinois. Women of Villa Park and Springroad two suburban communities twenty miles from Chicago, voted down a proposition to unite the two suburbs into a village bearing the first name of the president. The official canvass showed that "Woodrow" was defeated 139 to 76. Ninety-two women went to the polls and voted almost solidly against the proposition. "I am a great admirer of the president," said Mrs. John R. Stevens, of Villa Park, "but Woodrow isn't a suit able name for a town. Woodrow makes one think of a lumber yard Villa Park is a list protruer." Boy Born to Rentburgan.

Sits on Trunk; Solves Theft After an hour's search for the thief who had entered the residence of Chauncey F. Black, near York, Pa., and broken open a safe, Chester E. Glatfelter, twenty years of age, was found hiding in a trunk in the attic. He was committed to the York county prison. Glatfelter, who was married about five weeks ago, had jimmied his way into the house and taken a number of articles of value. He was interrupted by members of the household, who returned unexpectedly. Search was about to be anbandoned when Mr. Black sat down upon the trunk. Frantic for lack of air, the hidden youth was forced into making a noise which led to his detection. Death of Rev. S. T.

S. Habeas Corpus Writ to Fall Back On. Attorneys are Granted Delay and Judge Says There is no Law by Which Thaw Can be Extradited. Littleton, N. H., Sept. 17.—Judge Aldrich, sitting in the United States District Court, here, granted a suspension of the Federal writ of habeas corpus procured by attorneys for Harry K. Thaw, fugitive slayer of Stanford White, on the plea of Thaw's counsel. The decision was made despite vigorous opposition by William Travers Jerome, special attorney for the State of New York. In an open discussion with Jerome after announcing the suspension of the hearing, Judge Aldrich said that search of the statutes had failed to reveal to him any law under which a man in Thaw's position, a lunatic charged with a crime, could be extradited. The action of Judge Aldrich is a notable victory for the able lawyers directing Thaw's fight against return to Matthewan, whence he escaped on the morning of August 16. The victory lies in the fact that Governor Felker is to hear arguments in Concord next Tuesday by counsel for and against the extradition of Thaw, and, should he decide to sign the extradition papers, Thaw's lawyer may, under the writ of habeas corpus have the extradition held up. This will delay the matter for some time, and possibly will result, in Thaw's freedom. The first argument in the case was made by William Shurtleff, for Thaw who pointed out that the extradition hearing in the Thaw case was to be held in the near future, and asked that the habeas corpus hearing be postponed. Jerome objected. "There is no Federal issue involved here," he said. "I feel constrained to say that this writ has been obtained under circumstances which approach very near trifling with the court." Here he introduced an avidfairy by Lindsay Dennism, a newspaper writer setting forth that Thaw's counsel had told him that the writ had been obtained, not to bring about the fugitive's freedom now but to safeguard him, in the future against sudden removal should extradition be granted. "This writ," he concluded, "presents no serious question of law or fact, but was obtained for no other purpose than delay." George F. Morris, one of Thaw's New Hampshire lawyers, answered Jerome. The application for the writ was entirely regular, he said, while the warrant on, which New York sought to get Thaw was a mere subterfuge. "It is an honest endeavor on our part to get this matter before the court," he said. "We have had no assurance that Brother Jerome would not take Mr. Thaw at once if the extradition warrant was signed." The court declared that the New Hampshire statutes prevented him from holding a hearing upon the writ while the Governor's extradition inquiry was pending. "The immediate question," continued the court, "is whether the proceedings shall go on or be suspended. It is the judgment of the court that a suspension would not menace the interests of either side and in view of the fact that the Governor hesitates to proceed with the extradition hearing until the status of this matter is assured, I suspend it. It is not adjourned, but suspended, and I suggest that either side notify me within six days when they are prepared to go on with it." Thaw sat with his eyes riveted on the court. His lawyers were grinning. He was remanded back to the joint custody of Sheriff Drew, of Coos county, who arrested him after his recent deportation from Canada and United States Marshal Nute. THIS MAN IS SOME EATER Railroad Clerk Eats Fifteen Ice Cream Cones in Twelve Minutes.

Hampton, Va.-The class in oratorio conducted by Mine. E. Azalla Haskley at the Hampton institute for a month the post summer*was a most creditable feature of vacation work at the institute. The oratorio concluded with a demonstration which included a musical "ing of war" between soldiers, officers and prisoners. There was also a musical "spell down" between the boys and girls on the orations "The Creation" and "The Messiah" Mrs Hackley made six foot charts of the music and master to be taught, which enabled the students to obtain much information with little effort. As the study of arithmetic cultivates habits of thought so the intelligent study of music for the Negro, as well as other races, cultivates abstract mental habits which will control thought and emotion, to say nothing of the employment of the blue hour. There is no people so completely under the power of music and no people who could be so molded through the power of music as are the Afro-Americans. Mrs. Hackley recommends the study of oratorio especially because the religious character or oratorio music appeals to the masses of our people. They sing this class of music with unrighteous feeling when they have absorbed its beauties and conquered its difficulties. An intellect is put into the construction of good music, so intellect must feel its reception, and to appreciate this music it must be studied intelligently. In the future Mrs. Hackley will devote her energies and time toward educating the masses of colored people in music. She will have a memorial normal school voice culture institute in Chicago especially to train vocal teachers for the colored schools, and she will hold vocal institutes in various sections of the country. Nearly the whole of 1912 was given to her musical mission. She instructed nearly 64,000 in her method of voice culture, in one day teaching 8,000 school children lessons in breathing and the elements of voice culture. Even in the rural schools the children grasped every point that she presented, and the teachers report that the lessons will never be forgotten. Matches.
