Mrs. Graham Burns, Shiloh Baptist Church, Newport, R. L., Note at Thanksgiving Service. The Shiloh Baptist Church held special Thanksgiving service Thursday evening, to celebrate the canceleding of the last mortgage on the church. The mortgage note was burned by Mrs. Ella Graham, one of the oldest members. She and Mrs. Clara Butler are the only survivor of those who were members of the church when Rev. Henry N. Jelie D. D. became its pastor in 1875. A DISTINGUISHED BODY. The Committee was composed of some of the wealthiest and most influential citizens in the United States. Rev. Dr. Morris states that he was treated with uniform courtesy by his white associates. On the 4th inst. he was invited to address the Committee and at its conclusion he was righteously applauded. DR. MORRIS ADDRESS The following is the address of Dr. E. C. Morris, made before the Peace Conference held at Richmond, Va. in the Hotel Jefferson on the 4th of December, 1913: "Mr. Chairman and Gentleman: "I count it a signal honor to be in this distinguished presence and be one of the Committee to arrange for one of the most important celebrations in the history of our country. The notice, of my appointment as a member of this Committee came to me last march, and when I received it I asked myself what can it mean, but I was not long in deciding to accept the honor far it occurred to me, that the one hundredth anniversary of peace among the English speaking peoples of the world was perhaps the beginning of universal peace which is so much desired by us; and which has been prayed for by our fathers. "A peace which would sweep around the world and bring on the day predicted by the prophet of od when the people "shall beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning-hooks, nation shall not lift up uward against nation neither shall they learn war any more." I need not remind you of the fact that, I am identified with a race of people who have, not always been considered a part of the English speaking people of the world, but I think I can say that under a special dispensation, of an unerring Providence that these people have been separated from the hundreds of dialects in their fatherland, and have been taught the English language and may rightly be considered a part of the English speaking peoples of the world. "There are more than ten millions of those people in this country, and while I do not assume to authoritatively represent them, yet I think I can my, without any hesitation whatever, that no class or race of people rejoice more in the fact that we are approaching the one hundredth anniversary of peace between the English speaking nations of the earth, than to the thoughtful people of my race: "It would be considered salish in me, if I should say that the language made prominent by this celebration, is in my opinion to become the standard language of the world, and the one language spoken, as was rue before the confession of tongues at the building of the tower of Babylon. "As a race the American Negro till hears the association falling from the lips of angels, 'Glory to God in the highest and on earth, peace, good till toward man,' and shall hold with impermissible delight the triumphant area of the Gospel of Peace; whose puttable teachings will ultimately ring every man to recognize every man as his brother and God Father of all men. The wonderful and unparalleled investment made by the English making people in their steady march the higher civilisation, is in kind student reason for holding such a tolerant or so bare precept, and shows the most that my people can be toward it is to guard by the rules, and join in the local business which should be up every aspect of their investment by their own hand in this operation. The English if ever gave that new investment to the English the minds of the people to enter heartily into the support of such an object as we are here to set before them, but must confess that it is a great temptation to at heart try to make a speech. You may rest assured that whatever I can do to make the celebration a success I will gladly do." WILL ERECT PEACE MONUMENTS The plan of the celebration is to erect peace monuments in certain cities in the country, which cities have been designated and to conduct exercises and celebrations all over the country during the year 1914. Similar observations will take place in all English-speaking countries. It is reported that Mr. Andrew Carnegie has given ten million dollars towards the success of the movement. Around those international monuments it is expected that England] and the United States will pledge perpetual peace. GOV. MANN A FIGURE. Gov. William Hodges Mann was a central figure, during the deliberations. His address awakened much interest and he was warmly congratulated on his remarks. The Committee adjourned to go to Washington where a special meeting was held and signal entertainments had been arranged. Special entertainments and banquets were arranged here and the Committee was given all of the hospitality that this locality can afford. Rev. Dr. Morris left the city, in company with Rev. C. E. Brandon, Friday morning for Washington. --- We have a client Jejring to purchase a seven or eight room house, centrally located, from $3000 to $3500. Brick or frame. BRAGG BROS. and CO., 506 N. 2nd St. Annual Thanksgiving Dinner to the Poor, by B. Y. P. U. of Christian Endeavor Society of First Baptist Church.

The dinner and baskets were much appreciated by the dear ones who were served. There were 59 baskets given out; every poor saint on the list of the church and other deserving poor persons received one. Our friends sent bread, sugar, apples, oranges, tea, coffee, potatoes, rice, flour, meal, meat and many other nice articles. We wish especially to thank the management of the A. B. C.

I., Note at Thanksgiving Service. The Shiloh Baptist Church held a special Thanksgiving service Thursday evening, to celebrate the canceling of the last mortgage on the church. The mortgage note was burned by Mrs. Mia Graham, one of the oldest members. She and Mrs. Clara Butler are the only survivors of those who were members of the church when Rev. Henry N. Jeter, D. D., became its pastor in 1875. The mortgage, which was cancelled Wednesday by the treasurer, Mr. Arm steed Hurley, was originally made 12 years ago on the church. On this there has been paid for interest $666.05. Five different payments have been made, the final being $359.55. The treasurer had in his hands $200 toward it given by summer residents. Two weeks ago the desire to raise the balance was announced. Rev. Iosiforay Terry sent his check for $180 from a friend came $10, a well-wisher sent $5, Mr. Henry C. Anthony gave $5, and $1 each was received. One hour before the bank closed Mr. William B. Vernon handed in $24, which made possible the last payment. The sermon of the evening was preached by Rev. A. W. Puller, D. of Boston, who took his text from Acts XXVII:15. "He thanked God and took courage," the subject being "The Gratitude of the Courageous." The preacher spoke first of the gratitude of courageous Christianity, for the decay of sectarianism, for the resurrection of Christianity, for recaptured forts and for unexpected conquests. The gratitude of the courageous nation is for natural resources, for national products, for an unsuilt flag and for Divine protection. The gratitude of the courageous individual is for life, for salvation through Jesus Christ, for daily communion with God, for life's misfortunes, and for life's victories. The speaker closed by giving special application of the text to the history of Shiloh Baptist Church and its pastor. At the recent anniversary celebration of the church there was a floating indebtedness of $455, and of this the church has paid all but $100, besides meeting its current expenses. There is now no mortgage on the church building, but the church owns the estate next west, on Mary street, on which there is a mortgage of $2,000. This property, however, is self-supporting. The church at its meeting Thursday voted to celebrate the thirty-ninth Wedding anniversary of its pastor and Mrs. Jeter. December 24 next. —Newport, R. I. News. In Memoriam. Entered into life eternal, Wednesday, November 26, 1912 at 7:15 P.M., Mrs. Bettie A. Vane, a widow of the late Joseph James Vane, at her residence near Louise C. H. V. Her funeral was prescribed by Rev. Albert Thurston, at her residence, Saturday, November 29th at 1 P. M. She was laid to rest in the family cemetery, Mr. A. B. Woody, official. Mrs. Vane was one of the oldest and highly respected citizens of the County, having lived in Louisa, practically all of her life. Quiet and unassuming, she was loved by a host of friends, both white and colored. She was a faithful and devoted member of the First Baptist Church, Louisa, for more than thirty years. As a mother she loved her children devotedly: her husband preceded her to the grave over thirty years ago, leaving on small children. She lived to see them all grown and married. She leaves to mourn their loss: Two sons, George L. of Chicago and C. R. Vane of New York; two daughters: Hermaness James N. H. Nandeph, Norbert Waller, R. D. Wyngin of Philadelphia; Mrs. John Thompson of Louisa and Bina A. W. Nottes of Nebraska; two grandchildren: Mrs. Rand Waterman of Chicago and Manie Thompson of Louisa. His Experiences in Origina On the way here to the way of Pennsylvania R. R., I request to submit to the secretee one regulations and had the following experience: As our train pulled into Washington the trainman announced that the car we in was in Wash. Richmond, and that passengers did this point should remain where they were. Having a round trip ticket from Newark, N. J. to Richmond, Va., which called for first class passenger I remained where I was, but soon a porter told me that I should go forward to a place set apart for covered people, which I declined to do; another R. R. employee of the ordinary department approached and politely urged that I conform to the regulations. I, however, did not fail that it was right or in any way consistent with my profession and public utterances as a Christian minister and an official of the N. A. for the A. C. P. to acquaint in this position which I author and which I believe is intended as one of the means to permanently subordinate the colored people in this country. Between Washington, and Fredrickburg, the conductor approached me several times urging me to submit and go to the "jim crow" car. He informed me that unless I did so he said, I should be taken from the train and imprisoned at Fredrickburg. When I positively declined, he then began to get witnesses from among the passengers who sat near one of them, M. A. D. Henis, builder, 326 B. Broad St., Richmond, came to me and tendered his card, expressing sympathy with me. Shortly afterward two women suffragette, one a Mrs. Kidd, head of a big pickling enterprise at Richmond, spoke to me with a view to having me submit, and incidentally other questions were raised and discussed between us, among which was mentioned the fact that Dr. Duflois of the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People had at sometime delivered an address before them. About this time we arrived at Fred ericksburg and true to his throat, the conductor brought on James Shelton, R. R. policeman, a terrible looking, large, rough, uncount fellow, who ordered me forward. Upon my refusal to go, he crabbed me by the wrist attempting to pull me. I protested that he hurt me, whereupon he went behind me, forced his arms under my shoulders and dragged me to the door of the car, in so doing my back was hurt and has pained me almost constantly ever since. At this point another man caught my legs and although the train had been signalled to proceed, they stopped long enough to put me off. I tried aloud to the God of truth, righteousness and justice, asking for mercy on this my native State and country. Upon my refusal to walk I was forced into a lanau without my overcoat and hals bag and rushed to their miserable police headquarters where it was proposed to hold me in a common cell until Monday without any formal charge against me, or preliminary hearing. I however convinced those present that I should be given opportunity, or pay a fine. They then sent out and got the general agent of that section of the R. R. a Mr. C. C. Cox, who made the complaint against me, emphasizing the fact that I had, in the presence of Mr. Doggett, M. D. and the prominent citizen of Fredericksburg, refused to go into the "jim crow" car; that I asserted that I am an American citizen and was entitled, under my ticket, to remain where I was. They also sent for the police judge, who declared that the separate car law applies to interstate passengers as well as to any others, and this is one of the best laws of the R. R. Virginia. The juda and Mr. Cox are men of some intelligence; so after perusing their statute concerning railroad passengers, they claimed to have found the provision for a fine of not less than five dollars and not more than twenty-five dollars for one in my case. where they kindly proffered their sympathy and aid, if needed. I had also requested a venerable white minister who was in the car from which I had been taken, to inform Counselor Giles B. Jackson, who was expected to meet me at Elba Station in Richmond, of the circumstances and to ask him to do whatever he could to have me released. After paying my fine, the policeman, James Shelton, representing the strong arm of the law, escorted me back to the R. R. Station, proudly pointing out the separate waiting rooms for white and colored people. I then wired Attorney Jackson at the residence of Major Callahan, in North Fifth Street, Richmond, where I am being entertained, that he might expect me at Main St. Station, Richmond, at 11:17 P. M., about four hours later than I should have been had I been permitted to continue my trip according to the provisions of the ticket sold me at Newark, N. J. and as was particularly stipulated in that ticket, which said, "no stop over" is permitted. (REV.) JAMES E. QJURCHMAN. Mr. Ball's Slave. Mr. A. W. Ball, a well-known white citizen of Richmond of the antebellum type has in his possession a receipt for insurance on his Negro playmate, Ben Allen. He tells of how Ben's mother, who was his black mammy "used" to whip both of them for their pranks and this whipping was cordially approved by Mr. Ball's parents. He tells of an instance when the two of them took a play-mate and put his head in a post-hole and then could not get him out and of the punishment visited upon both of them for so doing. The original receipt will prove to be of interest and it is reproduced here: "Life and Fire Insurance Agency, 150 Main St., Richmond, Va. $9.00 "Received of Dr. R. B. Lyne, Agt. for D. Ball, Req., Nine 00-100 Dollars, premium on Policy 1048 for Six Hundred Dollars on life of a Slave named Ben for one year from 17th day of February, 1860, to 17th day of February, 1861 at noon, in the Albermarie Insurance Company of Virginia. "KNOWLES & WALFORD, Agt." Locburg (Va.) Brief. Mrs. George Helms and Mrs. Frank Watkins underwent very successful operations at the hospital here on Thursday. They are doing nicely. The birthday party has been postponed to the 16th, when W. Bishop Johnson, D. D. L.L. D. and Dr. Thompson, A. M. of Washington will be present. Referring to the Johnson and Heath affair we spoke about last week, we made a mistake. She did not have to pay a fine. Miss Winnie Cocks of Hamilton, Va. is in the hospital here, stricken with fever. Mrs. Samuel Jackson is improving slowly. Rev. Dr. Tyler will be at his post here next Sunday after three weeks' vacation. Rev. J. E. Dotson preached morning, evening, two able sermons. Communion at night. At the Church of God and Saints of Christ yesterday, they baptized one the second time. The cold wave struck us last night. Christmas is right at the door. MURDER CHANGE AGAINST COL ORED MAN. Claimed Shooting Was Accidental, Bet Police Say It Is Too Snapcises. From a shotgun wound in the abdomen, Abraham Smith, colored, died yesterday morning at his home about one mile below Seven Pines, and Robert Kenny, also colored, was lodged in the Hearne County Jail by Policemen Seay on the charge of murder. Kenny is alleged to have shot Smith on Monday afternoon, while hunting near Seven Pine. When taken in custody, he said that it was a case of accidental shooting, but the authorities considered the air cumultures surrounding the case snapcises. Dr. J. Palmer Bright, county coroner, will hold an inquest today at noon at the Hearne County Courthouse. "I examined the gun with which the shooting was done," said Dr. Bright, "and found that the trigger worked with "fidelity and I do not believe it could have been discharged as easily as Kenny did."

Impressive Occupies at Va. Union University—Many Richmond People Contributors to the Cause of Higher Education. Huntley Hall, the new dormitory at Virginia Union University, was dedicated on November 27th with most appropriate exercises. These dedicatory ceremonies were impressive because of their nature and significant because of their trend. Huntley Hall means the unselfish devotion to a righteous cause of those whose sacrifice made it possible and a laudable manifestation of what constitutes service to mankind. The speakers of the day entered into the spirit of the occasion with remarks generally encouraging to those interested in the higher education of the Negro. The exercises were opened with Scripture Reading by Dr. W. H. Brooks of Washington, D. C. President George Rice Honey, who presided, made a financial statement and delivered the keys to Dr. A. Binga, of South Richmond, who spoke in behalf of the Board of Trustees. Dr. G. M. P. King then offered a most servant prayer which was followed by the principal address. Rev. L. C. Barnes, D. D., Field Secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, in a stirring speech, showed how directly the highest American manhood, like that of Abraham Lincoln, was traceable to the influence of the Bible. He emphasized the fact that it is now time for the Negro to rise in his own strength and that the white and black man of the South must do the work of the South through their own co-operation. Governor William Hodgson Mann, in his characteristic way, stated what the Negro college could do in bettering citizenship. Mayor Alainso of Richmond complimented the students of Virginia Union University on their orderly manner and exhorted them to be loyal to their school. His message was one of civic improvement. President F. W. Boatwright of Richmond College in an eloquent speech noted the characteristic of all people who are striving for the Night. He stated that the struggles and labor which man undergoes for an education are the result of his not being content with the superstitions, unbeliefs and ignorance of civilization Professor W. T. B. Williams of Hampton Institute, agent of the Slater and Jeanes Educational Fund, discussed the parts which higher and industrial training play in creating a race sufficiency for the Negro. Mr. Williams in his address demonstrated clearly the great results which education for Negro has achieved. Mr. Samuel Cooley represented the business men of Richmond, said that the strides which the race had made in the past few years were clearly seen in their increased business ability. Dr. Degruee Proman of the State Board of Health closed these interesting exercises with a plea for the co-operation and race consciousness of the Negro. Quoting from mortality tables, he stated that the high Negro death rate was due primarily to ignorance and therefore lack of education. Virginia Union University was established and is largely sustained by the American Baptist Home Mission Society. It is among the first institutions of learning of a higher order for Negro youths. It includes a college, a Theological department and an academy. Huntley Hall was made possible by the generous gift of Miss Frances J. Huntley. Richmond people, both white and colored, have evidenced their respect for and confidence in the institution by their kindly attitude, especially in recent years. Many white citizens have contributed generously. Colored persons and churches of Richmond have given $1,800 of the $6,000 given by members of the race and have pledged $1,000 more. A canvas will be made in the near future for the raising of the remaining $10,000, which is still due on the $22,000 expenditure for this recent enlargement of facilities at Union. During the present year 200 students have been enrolled. This is the largest number in the history of the school. All departments of the University are doing a high grade of work. A scholarly feature of the work of recent years is in the efficient Summer Normal at Union. These normals have been made possible by the cooperation of the Richmond School Board, the State Board of Education and the University. Richmond teachers and educators from all parts of the State of Virginia are taking advantage of the opportunity for summer study. The doors of the University are always open in those who wish to visit the wheel and study the work or inspect the buildings. WITHIN THE LAW BU MARVIN DANA FROM THE PLAY OF BAYARD VEILLER SYNOPSIS Mary Turner, a department store clerk, is sentenced to prison for three years for a theft she did not commit. Edward Gilder, owner of the department store, consents to see Mary before she goes to prison, expecting her to confess. Mary projects her innocence to Gilder and begs him to pay better wages to his clerks to save them from temptation. After three years in prison Mary is freed, but the police prevent her holding positions. She jumpes into the river to end her life, but is rescued by Joe Garson, a former. Mary forms a partnership with Garson and his gang, by which they must rob victims in a legal manner, keeping "within the law." Mary is warned by the police to leave town after she has formed the acquaintance of Richard Gilder her former employer's son. Helen Morris, the girl who had committed the theft for which Mary was imprisoned, sees Mary and confesses her guilt. Mary marries Dick Gilder without his father's knowledge and then refuses to call for Europe with him. Joe Garson, against Mary's protest, agrees with Ellen Gilder, another crook, to help commit a burglary in Gilder's home. Edward Gilder sees his son's bride and tries to include her to give up her husband. Dick refuses to leave her even when she tells him she is an ex-convict. CHAPTER X. Garzon's Noiseless Gun. SOMETHING of what was in his mind was revealed in Garson's first speech after Griggs' going. "That's a mighty big stunke he's playing for." "And a big chance he's taking!" Mary retorted. "No, Joe, we don't want any of that. We'll play a game that's safe and sure." The words recalled to the forger weird forcings that had been trontling him throughout the day. "It's sure enough," he stated, "but is it safe?" "What do you mean?" Garson walked to and fro nervously as he answered. "Bpose the bulbs get tired of you bprb Inspector Burka putting it over on 'em and try some rough work "Don't worry, Joe. I know a way to stop it." "Well, so far as that goes, so do I." the forger said, with significant emphasis. "Just what do you mean by that? Mary demanded, suspiciously. "For rough work," he said, "I have this." He took a magazine plate from his pocket. It was of an odd shape, with a barrel longer than most and a built-in-shaped contrivance attached to the musculus. "No, Joe, Joe." Mary cried. "None of that—ever." "I noob." The forger exclaimed. "From if I used it, they would never get on to me. See this?" He pointed at the strange contrivance on the musculus. "What is it? I have never seen any thing like that before." "Of course, you haven't. I'm the first man in the business to get one and I'll bet on it. I keep up with the times." He was rewelling that fundamental epistemology which is the characteristic of all his kind. "That's one of the new Maxim allencers. With smokeless powder in the cartridges, and the silencer on, I can make a shot from my coat pocket, and you wouldn't even know it had been done. And I'm some shot, believe me." "Iimpossible!" Mary enunciated. "No, it ain't. Here, wait, I'll show you." "Good grcious, not here!" Mary exclaimed in alarm. "We would have the whole place down on us." Gatson chuckled. "You just watch that dinky little vase at the table across the room there. Tain't very valuable, is it?" In the same instant, while still her eyes were on the case, it fell in a casecade of shivered glass to the table and floor. She had heard no sound, she saw no smoke. Perhaps, there had been a faintest clicking noise. She stared dumfounded for a few seconds, then turned her bewildered face to ward Garson, who was grinning in high enjoyment. "Neat little thing, aln't it?" the man asked, exultantly. "Where did you get it?" Mary asked. "In Boston, last week. And between you and me, Mary, it's the only model, and it sure is a cutter." That night in the back room of Blinkey's, English Eddie and Garson sat with their heads close together over a table. "A chance like this," Griggs was saying, "a chance that will make a fortune for all of us." "It sounds good," Garson admitted, wistfully. "Well," urged Griggs. "what do you say?" "How would we split it?" "Three ways would be right." Griggs answered. "One to me, one to you and one to be divided up among the others." Garson brought his first down on the table with a force that made the glass on jingle. "You're on!" he said, strongly. "Fine." Griggs declared, and the two men shook hands. "Now, I'll get—" "Get nothing." Griggs interrupted. "I'll get my own men. Chicago lied in town. So is Dacey, with perhaps a couple of others of the right sort. I'll get them and we'll turn the trick tomorrow night." "That's the stuff." Griggs agreed, greatly pleased. But a sudden shadow fell on the face of Garson. He bent closer to his companion and spoke with a fierce intensity that brooked no dental. "She must never know." Griggs padded understandingly. Mary had gone to her bedroom for a nap. She was not in the least surprised that Dick had not yet returned, though he had mentioned half an hour. At the beat there work many things that might detain him—his father's absence from the office, difficulties in making arrangements for his projected honeymon trip abroad—which would never occur—or the like. At the worst there was a chance of finding his father promptly, and of that father as promptly, taking steps to prevent the son from ever again seeing the woman who had so indiscreetly married him. Yet somehow Mary could not believe that her husband would yield to such paternal coercion. Rather, she was sure that he would prove loyal to her whom he loved through every trouble. At the thought a certain wistfulness pervaded her and a polignant regret that this particular man should have been the one chosen of fate to be entangled within her mesh of revenge. There throbbed in her a heart tormenting realization that there were in life the possibilities infinitely more splendid than the joy of vengeance. She would not confess the truth even to her in most soul, but the truth was there and not her strumble with vague fears. She had slept, perhaps, a half hour when Fanny awakened her. "It's a man named Burke," she explained on her mistress lay blinking. "And there's another man with him. They said they must see you." By this title Mary was wide awake, for the name of Burke. The police in spector, won enough to startle her out of drawbridge. She got up, slipped into a trompown, balanced her eyes in columns, dressed hair, had a little, and wore into the drawing room, where the two men had been waiting for something more than a quartet of up to two to the vi leni indignation of both. "Oh, here you are at last!" the big, burly man cried as she entered. "Yes, inspector." Mary replied pleasantly, as she advanced into the room. She gave a glance toward the other visitor, who was of a slenderer form, with a thin, keen face, and recognized him instantly as Demarest, who had taken part against her as the lawyer for the store at the time of her trial, and who was now district attorney. She went to the chair at the deak and seated herself in a leisurely fashion that increased the indignation of the fuming inspector. She did not ask her self invited guests to sit. "To whom do I owe the pleasure of this visit, inspector?" she remarked coolly. It was noticeable that she said whom and not what, as if she understood perfectly that the influence of some person brought him. "I have come to have a few quiet words with you." the inspector declared. Mary disregarded him, and turned to the other man. "How do you do, Mr. Demarest?" she said evenly. "It's a four years since we met, and they've made you district attorney since then. Allow me to congratulate you." "I'm puzzled," he confessed. "There is something familiar, somehow, about you, and yet"— "Can't you guess?" Mary questioned. "Search your memory, Mr. Demarquet." The face of the district attorney lightened. "Why?" he exclaimed, "you are—it can't be—you are the girl, you're the Mary Turner whom I—oh, I know you now." "I'm the girl you mean, Mr. Demarquet, but, for the rest, you don't know me—not at all!" "Young woman," Burke said, peremptorily, "the Twentieth Century Limited leaves, Grand Central station at 4 o'clock. It arrives in Chicago at 8:55 tomorrow morning." He pulled a massive gold watch from his waistcoat pocket, glanced at it, thrust it back, and concluded ponderously: "You will just about have time to catch that train." "But why? I'm not going away." "On the Twentieth Century limited this afternoon," the inspector declared in a voice of growling wrath. "Oh, dear, no!" "I say yes!" The answer was a bellow. "I'm giving you your orders. You will either go to Chicago or you'll go up the river." "If you can convict me, Pray, notice that little word if." The district attorney interposed very surively: "I did once, I remember." "But you can't do it again." Mary declared with an assurance that excited the astonishment of the police official. "How do you know he can't?" he blustered. "Because if he could he would have had me in prison some time ago." "Hub!" Burke exclaimed grumpy. "I've seen them go up pretty easy." "The poor one; not those that have money. I have money, plenty of money—now." "Money you stole!" the inspector returned brutally. "Oh, dear, not!" Mary cried with a fine show of virtuous indignation. "What about the $20,000 you got on that partnership swindle? I assume you didn't steal that." "Certainly not," was the ready reply. "The man advertised for a partner in a business sure to bring big and safe returns. We formed a partner ship with a capital of $40,000. We paid the money into the bank, and then at once I drew it out. It was legal for me to draw that money—won't it, Mr. Demarrett." The district attorney admitted the truth of her conviction. "Well, anyhow," Burke abouted, "you may stay inside the law, but you've got to get outside the city. On the level now, do you think you could get away with that young Olidar examine you've been planning?" "What young Olidar expense?" "Oh. I'm wiser—I'm wiser," the inspector stated roughly. "The answer is none for all. have been this afternoon or you'll be in the Times in the morning." "It can't be done, inspector." Henry opened a Graver of the duck and took out the Agreement obtained that granting from Morris and hold it forth. What's this? Darren stared, but he hated the paper. Darren looked over the inventory. What can be done to help the man striking be suppressed by the government beginning the task with a joint grant? "What's this?" Murray suggested that a jury was not enough to judge the judgment clear to him. "What is temporary restraining order from the supreme court, implying you be let me allege and you have no legal proof that I have broken the law?" "But it can't be done," claimed Martin. "You might ask Mr. Demarest," many suggested pleasantly, "as to whether or not it can be done. The gambler houses can do it and so keep on breaking the law. The race track man can do it and laugh at the law. The sub-road can do it to restrain its employees from striking. So why shouldn't I get one too? You see, I have money. I can buy all the law I want. And there's nothing you can't do with the law if you have money enough. Ask Mr. Demarest. He known." "Can you beat that?" Barbe rumbled. He regarded Mary with a share of almost reservential wonder. "A crook appealing to the law!" "Well, gentlemen, what are you going to do about it?" "Miss Turner," the district attorney said, with an appearance of sincerity. "I'm going to appeal to your sense of fair play." "That was killed four years ago." But Demarest persisted. Influence had been brought to bear on him. It was for her own sake now that he urged her. "You young Gilder alone." Mary lingered again. "His father sent me away for three years—three years for something I didn't do. Well, he's got to pay for it." years—three years for something I didn't do. Well, he got to pay for it." By this time, Burke, a man of superior intelligence, as one must be to reach such a position of authority, had come to realize that here was a case not to be carried through by blustering, by intimidation, by the rough ruses familiar to the force. "Don't fool yourself, my girl," he said in his huge voice, which was now modulated to a degree that made I "Well, gentlemen, what are you going to do about it?" It almost unfamiliar to himself. "You can't go through with this. There's always a weak link in the chain somewhere. It's up to me to find it, and I will." "Now!" she said, and there was re-pect in the glance she gave the stuhl man. "now you really sound dangerous." Fannie appeared at the door. "Mr Edward Gilder wishes to see you, Miss Turner," she said. "Shall I show him in?" "Oh, certainly," Mary answered, with an admirable pretense of indifference, while Burke glared at Demarest, and the district attorney appeared ill at ease. CHAPTER XI. Gilder Meets Bride. THERE entered the erect, heavy figure of the man whom Mary had hated through the years. He stopped abruptly just within the room, gave a glance at the two men; then his eyes went to Mary, sitting at her desk, with her face lifted in inquiringly. He did not pause to take in the beauty of that face, only its strength. He stared at her silently for a moment. Then he spoke, a little tremulous from anxiety. "Are you the woman?" he said. There was something simple and primitive, something of dignity beyond the usual conventions, in his direct address. Mary's acknowledgment was as plain as his own question. "I am the woman. What do you want?" "My son." Mary guessed that his coming was altogether of his own volition, and not the result of his son's information, as at first she had supposed. "Then, why did you come?" "Because I intend to save my boy from a great folly. I am informed that he is infatuated with you, and Inspector Burke tells me—why—he tells me—why—he tells me—He paused, unable for a moment to continue from an excerse of emotion. Inspector Burke filled the halting sentence. "I told you she had been an ex-convict." "Yes." Glider said, after he had regained his self control. He stared at her pleadingly. "Tell me, in the tree?" Here, then, was the moment for which she had lingered through weary days, through waggy years. Here was the man whom she hated, supplanted before her to kiss the truth. Her heart quickened. Truly, pregnancy is sweet to one who has suffered unmerely. "in this truy" the man repressed with something of horror in the voice "It is," Mary said quietly. For a little, they were silent in the room. At last, (Lily) spoke with the sureness of a man of wealth, confident that money will salve any wound. "How much?" he asked, baldly. Mary amiled an inscrutable smile. "Oh, I don't need money," she said, carolessly. "Inspector Burke will tell you how easy it is for me to get it." "Do you want my son to learn what you are?" he said. "Why not? I'm ready to tell him myself." Then Glider showed his true heart in which love for his boy was before all else. "But I don't want him to know," he stammered. "Why, I've spared the boy all his life. If he really loves you—it will"— At that moment, the son himself entered hurriedly. In his eagerness he saw no one save the woman he loved. At his entrance, Mary rose and moved backward a step involuntarily, in sheer surprise over his coming. The young man went swiftly to her, while the other three men stood silent. Dick took Mary's hand in a warm clasp, pressed it tenderly. "I didn't see father," he said happily, "but I left a note on his desk at the office." Then, somehow, the surcharged atmosphere penetrated his consciousness, and he looked around, to see his father standing grimly opposite him. But there was no change in his expression beyond a more radiant smile. "Hello, dad!" he cried, joyously. "Then you got my note!" "Dad we're married. Mary and I were married this morning." Mary kept her eyes steadfast on the father. There was triumph in her gaze. This was the vengeance for which she had longed, for which she had plotted, the vengeance she had at last achieved. Here was her frultion, the period of her supremacy. Glider seemed dazed by the brief sentence. "Say that again." he commanded. "Dad. Mary and I were married this morning." "I married your son this morning." Mary said in a matter of fact tone. "I married him. Do you quite understand, Mr. Glider? I married him." In that insistence lay her ultimates compensation for untold misery. The father stood there wordless, unable to find speech against this calamity that had befallen him. "It's a frameup!" Burke roared. He glared at the young man. "Tell your father it ain't true. Why, do you know what she is? She's done time." He paused for an instant, then spoke in a voice that was brutally menacing. "And she'll do it again." The young man turned toward his bride. There was disbelief, hope, despair, in his face. "It's a lie, Mary," he said. "Say it's a lie." He seized her hand passionately. "It is the truth," Mary said firmly. "I have served three years in prison." There was a silence of a minute that was like years. Dick turned his tortured face to his BRA "Dad Mary and I, soon married this morning." bride of a day. Then he spikes again more burgundy. "Say there's a mistake." Mary spoke with a simplicity that admitted no deafness. "It's all quite true." The man who had so loved her, treated her, stood trembling for a moment, let out and walk into a chair. The father looked at Mary with a reproach that was pathetic. "Kate," he said, and his heart swirled for her gaze, still with passion—"I need --- What you've done to my boy?" "What is that compared to what you have done to me?" "What have I done to you?" he questioned, unaccented. "Do you remember what I said to give the day you had me sent away?" "I don't remember you at all." "Perhaps you remember Mary Turner, who was armed four years ago for raiding your store, and perhaps you remember that she asked to speak to you before they took her to prison." The heavy jewed man gave a start. "Oh, you begin to remember! Yes! There was a girl who awore she was innocent-you, she awore that she was innocent. And she would have got off—only you asked the judge to make an example of her." "You are that girl!" "I am that girl!" There was a little interval of silence. Then Mary spoke again remorselessly. "You took away my good name: you mashed my life; you put me behind 100 "Say, there's a mistake." the bars. You owe for all that. Well I've begun to collect." "And that is why you married my boy?" "It is." Mary gave the answer coldly, convincingly. Convincingly, save to one—her husband. Dick suddenly aroused and spoke with the violence of one sure. "It is not." He stood up and went to Mary, and took her two hands in his, very gently, yet very firmly. "Mary," he said softly, yet with a strength of conviction, "you married me because you love me." "No," she said gravely, "no. I did not." "And you love me now!" he went on insisting. "No, no!" Mary's dental came like a cry for courage. "You love me now!" There was a masterful quality in his declaration, which seemed to ignore her negation. "I don't" she repeated bitterly. "Look me in the face and say that." There was a silence that seemed long, though it was measured in the passing of seconds. At last Mary, who had planned so long for this hour, gathered her forces and spoke valiantly. Her voice was low, but without any weakness of doubt. "I do not love you." "Just the same you are my wife, and I'm going to, keep you and make you love me. "She's a crook!" Burke said. "I don't care what you've been." Dik exclaimed. "From now on you'll go straight. You'll walk the straightest line a woman ever walked. You'll put all thoughts of vengeance out of your heart because I'll fill it with something bigger—I'm going to make you love me." Burke spoke again: "I tell you she's a crook." Mary moved a little, and then turned her face toward Gilder. "And, if I am, who made me one? You can't send a girl to prison and have her come out anything else." Burke swung himself around in a movement of complete disgust. "She didn't get her time for good behavior." "And I'm proud of it!" came her instant retort. "Do you know what goes on there behind those stone walls? Do you, Mr. District Attorney, whose business it is to send girls there? Do you know, what a girl is expected to do to get time off for, good behavior? If you don't, ask the keepers." "I served every minute of my time—every minute of it. three full, whole years. Do you wonder that I want to get even, that some one has got to pay? Four years ago, you took away my name—and gave me a number. Now, I've given up the number—and I've got your name." CHAPTER XII Aftermath of Tragedy. THE Gilders, both father and son, endured much suffering throughout the night and day that followed the scene in Mary Turner's apartment, when she had made known the accomplishment of her revenge on the older man by her ennaring of the younger. Dick had followed the others out of her presence at her command, emphasized by her leaving him alone when he would have pleaded further with her. Since then he had started to obtain another interview with his bride, but she had refused him. He was denied admission to the apartment. Only the hard answered the rinking of the telephone, and the notes were seemingly unheard. Fiercely by this violent interjection of torment into a life that hitherto had known no important suffering, thick filder showed what melle of man lay beneath his debonair appearance. And lint melle was of a kind worth white. He did not be the stant believe that the will guilty of the crime with which she had been initially charged and for which she had served a sentence to prison. For the rest, he could understand in some degree how the venom of the wrong inflicted on her had palmed her nature through the years, till she had worked out its evil through the scheme of which he was the innocent victim. He cared little, for the fact that recently she had devoted herself to device devices for making money, to ingenuous schemes for legal plunder. --- So, in the face of this catastrophe, where a less love must have been destroyed utterly, Dick remained loyal. His passionate regard did not falter for a moment. It never even occurred to him that he might cast her off, might yield to his father's prayers, and abandon her. The father suffered with the son. He was a proud man, intensely gratified over the commanding position to which he had achieved in the commercial world, proud of his business integrity, of his standing in the community as a leader, proud of his social position, proud most of all of the son whom he so loved. Now, this hideous disaster threatened his pride at every turn—worse, it threatened the one person in the world whom he really loved. He realized that his son loved the woman—nor could he wonder much at that. His keen eyes had perceived Mary Turner's graces of form, her levelness of face. He had apprehended, too, in some measure at least, the fineness of her mental fiber and the capacities of her heart. Deep within him, dented any outlet, he knew here lurked a curious, subtle sympathy for the girl in her scheme of revenge against himself. Gilder, in his library this night, was pacing impatiently to and fro, eagerly listening for the sound of his son's return to the house. He was anxious for the coming of Dick, to whom he would make one more appeal. If that should fall—well, he must use the influences at his command to secure the forcible parting of the adventures from his son. Finally the son entered the room and went at once to his father, who was standing waiting, facing the door. "I'm awfully sorry I'm so late, dad," he said simply. "Where have you been?" the father demanded gravely. But there was great affection in the flash of his gray eyes as he scanned the young man's face and the touch of the band that he put on Dick's shoulder was very tender. "With that woman again?" "No, father, not with her. She won't see me." "Naturally! She's got all she wanted from you—my name!" "It's mine, too, you know, air." Glider looked at his son with a strange, new respect. "Dick," he cried, "boy, you are all I have in the world. You will have to free yourself from this woman somehow. You owe me that much." "I love something to her, too, dad." "What can you owe her? She tricked you into the marriage. Why, legally it's not even that. There's been nothing more than a wedding ceremony. We must get you out of the service." ```markdown ``` "I'm not sure that I want to get out of it, father." "You want to stay married to this jail bird." "I'm very fond of her." "Now that you know?" "Now that I know." Dick said distinctly. "Don't you see, father? Why, she is justified in a way—in her own mind anyhow, I mean. She was innocent when she was sent to prison." "Don't talk to me about her innocence. There's only one course open to you, my boy. You must give this girl up. If you don't what are you going to do the day your wife is thrown into a patrol wagon and carried to police headquarters, for it's sure to happen? The cleverest of people make mistakes, and some day she'll make one." Dick threw out his hands in a gesture of supreme denial. But the father went on reminiscently. They will stand her up where the detectives will walk past her with 1770 "I owe something to her, son, dad." masks on their faces. Her picture, of course, is already in the rogues' gallery, but they will take another—yes, and the imprints of her fingers and the measurements of her body. "The son was writhing under the words. The woman of whom those things were said was the woman whom he loved. Yet every word had in it the piercing, horrible sting of truth. "That's what they will do to your wife." Glider went on haphily, "to the woman who bears your name and name. What are you going to do about it? "It will never happen. She will go straight, dad. That I know. You would know it if you only knew her as I do. Glider was in despair. What argument could you give? He cried out SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1918. "Do you realise what you're doing? Don't go to smash, Dick, just at the beginning of your life. Oh, I beg you, boy, stop! Put this girl out of your thoughts and start fresh. You're all I have, my boy." "Yes, dad," came the answer. "If I could avoid it I wouldn't hurt you for anything in the world. I'm sorry, dad, awfully sorry!" He hesitated, then his voice rang out clearly: "But I must fight this out by myself—fight it out in my own way. And I'm going to do it!" The butler entered. "A man to see you, sir," he said. The master took the card. "Very well" he said, "show him up." His glance met the wondering gaze of his son. "It's Burke," he explained. "What on earth can he want—at this time of night?" Dick exclaimed. "You may as well get used to visits from the police." A moment later Inspector Burke entred the room. "She's skipped!" he said triumphantly. Dick made a step forward. His eyes flashed, and there was anger in his voice as he replied: "I don't believe it." "She left this morning for Chicago. Burke said, lying with a manner that long habit rendered altogether convincing. "I told you she'd go." He turned to the father and spoke with an air of boastful good nature. "Now, all you have to do is to get this boy out of the scrape and you'll be all right." "If we only could!" The cry came with deepest earnestness from the lips of Glider. but there was little hope in his voice. "I guess we can find a way to have the marriage annulled or whatever they do to marriage that don't take." said Burke. The brutal assurance of the man in thus referring to things that were sacred moved Dick to wrath. "Don't you interfere," he said. Neverbellebus Burke held to the topic "Interfere! huh!" he ejaculated, grinning broadly. "Why, that's what I'm paid to do. Listen to me, son. The minute you begin mixing up with crooks you isn't in a position to give orders to any one. The crooks have got no rights is the eyes of the police. Just remember that." But Dick was not listening. His thoughts were again—wholly with the woman he loved, who, as the inspector declared, had sed from him. "Where's she gone in Chicago?" Burke answered in his usual grunt fashion, but with a note of kindness that was not without its effect on Dick. "I'm no mind reader," he said. "But she'll probably stop at the Blackstones—that is, until the Chicago police are tipped off that she is in town." The face of the young man took on a totally different expression. He went close to the inspector and spoke with intense seriousness. "Burke," he said pleadingly, "give me a chance. I'll leave for Chicago is the morning. Give me twenty-four hours start before you begin bounding her." The inspector smiled acquiescence. "Bees reasonable," he admitted. "No, be, Dick!" the father cried. "You shall not go! You shall not go!" The inspector shot a word of warning to Glider in an aside that Dick could not hear. "Keep still," he replied. "It's all right." "You give me your word, inspector," Dick said, "that you won't notify the police in Chicago until I've been there twenty-four hours!" "You're on." Burke replied genially, "They won't get a whisper out of me until the time is up." "Then I'll go." Dick smiled rather wanily at his father. "You know, dad, I'm sorry, but I've got to do what I think in the right thing." It was not until the door was closed after Dick that Burke spoke. "He'll go to Chicago in the morning, you think, don't you?" be asked. "Certainly," Glider answered. "But I don't like it." "Best thing that could have happened! You see, he won't find bar there." "Where did she go then?" Glider olered, wholly at a loss. "Nowhere yet. But just about the time he's starting for the west I'll have her down at headquarters. Damascar will have her indicted before noon. She'll go to trial in the afternoon, and tomorrow night she'll be sleeping up the river. That's where she is going." Gilder stood motionless for a moment. "But," he said wonderingly, "you can't do that." Well, perhaps I can't, but I will. Suddenly his face grew hard. He heavy jaw shot forward aggressively as he spoke. "Think I'm going to let that girl make a joke of the police department? Why, I'm here to get her, to stop her anyhow. Her gang is going to break into your house tonight." "What!?" Glider demanded. "You mean she's coming here as a thief." "Not exactly," inspector Burke confessed, "but her jobs are coming to try to pull off something fight them. She wouldn't come, but if I knew her, she'd too clever for that. Why, if she knew, what classroar was planning to do, she'd stop him." The inspector pained suddenly. For a long minute she fire was assumed with thought. Then he smiled with a blow strong enough to "Twe got best!" he cried. He went to the desk where the telephone was and took up the receiver. "Give me $200 Spring!" he said. As he waited for the connection he smiled widely up the astonished Gilder. "Handquarter!" he called. "Inspector Burke speaking. Who's in my office? I want him quick." He smiled as he listened, and be spoke again to Gilder. "It's Smith, the best man I have. That's luck, if you ask me." Then again he spoke into the mouthpiece of the telephone. "Oh, Ed, send some one up to that Turner woman. You have the address. Just see that she is tipped off that Joe Garson and some pals are going to break into Edward Gilder's house tonight. Get some stool pigeon to hand ber the information. You'd better get to work quick. Understand." The inspector hung up the receiver and faced his host with a contented smile. "What good will all that do?" Gilder demanded impatiently. "She'll come to stop'em. When we get the rest of the gang we'll grab her too. Just call your man for a minute, will you, Mr. Glider." Glider pressed the electric button on his desk. At the same moment, through the octagonal window, came a blinding flash of light that rested for seconds, then vanished. Burke was started by the mysterious radiance. "What's that?" he demanded sharply. "It's the flashlight from the Metropolitan tower." Glider explained. "It swings around this way about every fifteen minutes. The servant forgot to draw the curtains." [TO BE CONTINUED.] THE HOME VOICE I would say to all: Use your greatest voice at home. Watch it day by day as a pearl of great prize, for it will be worth more to you in days to come than the best pearl lid in the sea. A kind voice is joy, like a lark's song, to a hearth at home. Train it to sweet tones now and it will keep in tune through life.—Ehju Burritt. Nanger's Big Earnings Handel made more money from his works than any composer before his time. For a "Te Deum" and a "Jubilee," written to celebrate the treaty of Utrecht, he was awarded a pension of £200 a year. This was doubled by George I. soon after his accession and confirmed by George II., so that Handel drew the pension until his death in 1750. All together for these two compositions Handel received £15,800. Although he lost thousands of pounds running opera at Covent Garden, Handel died worth £20,000—a sum, allowing for the difference in the value of money, equal to £00,000 nowadays.—London Mall. Twice In the Same Place Some people seem to be more likely to be struck by lightning than others. Father Bosco of Turin was struck three times on different occasions. Mrs. Hain, an American woman who was wounded in the left foot by lightning in the year 1840, was struck again in the same spot in 1855. The great Mithirdates was reputed to have been struck in the forehead while a child and to have had his sword fused by lightning as he slept with it by his side in later life. Virginia Was Fifth Kingdom. Virginia is known as the Old Dominion because it was sometimes recognised as a separate dominion. Spenser, in 1690, dedicated his "Faecie Queens" to Elizabeth, Queen of England, France, Ireland and Virginia. When James VI. of Scotland came to the English throne, Scotland was added, and Virginia was called in compliment the fifth kingdom. And as Virginia stood firm for Charles II., after the execution of his father, Charles, in gratitude, caused the arms of Virginia to be quartered with those of England, Scotland and Ireland as an independent member of the kingdom.-Kansas City Star.

After selecting it, it is supplied every one knows how to properly dress and clean a fowl. Few cooks (boroughly poultry after the feathers are removed). This should be done with soft brush and warm sponge with abundance cinder clays to rinse. Care should be taken when drawing the fowl, for if the entrails are broken an odor of the baryard will be imparted to the entire bird. Cut the neck off to the body, first poshing the skin well down to the body that the hole may be easily covered by it. Cut the skin at the back of the peck, an inch or so down, and with the forefinger loosen the crop all around, lifting it out without breaking it and at the same time drawing the windpipe. Wings and legs should be trussed close to the body either with skewers or by means of a trussing needle and twine. The French have a method of tying a fowl in a piece of soft paper so no particle of fat escapes and baking it in this wrapper until twenty minutes of serving time, when the paper is removed and it is delicately browned. Many cooks use considerable heat for the first half hour in roasting a fowl, basting it very often; then after this initial searing of the surface they emulate the heat of roasting cooking. Twenty to twenty-five minutes to the pound is the rule for roasting turkey. Remove all twine used in trussing before sending the fowl to the table. After the turkey has been washed and singed prepare the dressing. If a chestnut, dressing is required remove the shells from a pint of nutta, cook in slightly salted water until tender; then drain, skin and coat coarsely. Add a half loaf of stale bread put through the food chopper, one-quarter of a pound of butter, salt and pepper to taste and one egg. Mix all together, adding a little warm water if it seems too dry. Garnish with link sauce fried a light BREAD MAKER SERVING THE FORKET brown. For extra nice gravy make as nasal and just before taking up an pint of oysters. Simmer until the edge eurt. If oyster dressing is preferred proceed thus: Cut as slices of state bread, remove the crust, soak in cold water until soft, then squeeze dry as possible. Put three tablespoon of butter in a saucepan and add a teaspoon of mince onion. Simmer a few minutes. Now put in the bread, season with salt and pepper to taste. When thor- oughly heated remove from the stove add three table-poundfuls of sweet cream, two well washed eggs and one pint of oysters, stuffing the turkey with this dressing. Now rub the turkey well with salt; spread breast, wings and legs, with butter. Place in hot oven. When the flour on the turkey browns reduce heat and add two cups of boiling water. For basting use one half cup of batter melted in one cupful of boiling water in which the giblets were cooked. Bake every thirty minutes until the turkey is cooked, which will be about three hours for a ten pound turkey. While cooking turn frequently that it may brown evenly.

This has advantages for the basketswife; for it, can be made creams before Christmas and so save The trouble of preparing it in our busy hours when the Christmas fest must be thought of. The fruit cake most generally served in the dark one, but the Boston Cooking School sugar cane suggests a very nice white fruit cake made as follows: Take six ounces (three-fourths of a cupful of butter, eight ounces (one cupful of sugar, eight ounces two cupfuls of flour, one slightly rounded teaspoonful of baking powder, six whites of eggs, one pound of blanched almonds sliced thin, half a pound of light colored maltana nuts, half a pound of crystallized pineapple cut in FRUIT CAKE WITH LACE COVER. bits, half a pound of citron sliced thin and half a cupful of grated coconut Mix in the order given. Bake in a leaf about an hour and a quarter or in two brick leaf bread pans about forty-five minutes. Cover with simmond paste mixed with egg yolks and powdered sugar and, when ready to use, with confectioners' or boiled frosting. From four to six ounces of paste, two to three yolks of eggs and confectioner sugar to knead the two into a pilleable paste that may be smoothed out with a rolling pin are required for the first covering. The cake may be served with a handmade fitted lace cover like the one shown in the picture.

These Will Give Relish to the Christmas Foost. Balads are an attractive addition to any meal and for the Christmas dinner it is worth while making a special effort to provide a nice one. Bothouse vegetables are generally available at this season and give a special relish to the Christmas fare. Fruit salads are equally desirable, but are not so generally popular as the vegetable combinations. Two nice salads are suggested by the Boston Cooking School Magazine. One of these is an egg salad made thus: For one large or two small portions there are peeled two half inch thick slices of a good sized tomato, one tender hard cooked egg, four lettuce leaves and two tablespoonfuls of mayonnaise dressing. Set the tomato over a little of the dressing on the lettuce. Cut the eggs in quarters, remove the yolk to a sieve, cut the pieces of white in halves crosswise and dispose on the tomato, the pointed ends to the center. Dispose the rest of the mayonnaise at the TWO BOLIDAY SALADS. points where the pieces of white meet. Sift the yolks over the dressing. Serve at once. A crabberry and celery salad is thus prepared: Select choice cranberries of good size and cut each in about four slices at right angles to the stem. Chop inner blanched stalks of crisp celery into slices a quarter of an inch thick. There may be equal measures of cranberry and celery, but there should not be more of the prepared celery than of the cranberries. Season separately or together. For a pint of material mix a acetone half teaspoonful of milk, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of paprika, four tablespoons of olive oil and one or two tablespoons of vinegar. Mix all together thoroughly, pour over the celery and cranberry mix and turn upon a bed of carefully waned and dried leaves of lettuce herb with rosemary of poultry or veal. The Glass Snake. The slowworm is the snake which country people tell you has the peculiar property of breaking itself into bits, each piece a forward surviving. The truth differs slightly from the legend. The slowworm is a timid creature and when first captured tightens all its muscles, then reducing itself to a remarkably rigid state, in which condition it will no doubt snap like a dry twister; but problem to say, only the upper and vital portions survive the ordeal—London dike.

THE AFRICAN MOVEMENT The Wewoka and Lima Courier of Oklahoma annubuncos that a large number of colored people mot there on the 2nd inst. and was in session three days. The people are raising money to purchase a steamer to take them to the Gold Coast, Africa. The vessel is being purchased from the Akim Trading Company. The Courier, Mr. M. W. Williams, Editor, takes a gloomy view of the situation and indulges in a negative argument on the proposed movement. It seems to realize that it is supporting the unpopular side of the question. We do not see that it should despair. Colored people who wish to go to Africa should take up their belongings and go over there. The reports that come to us from the other side are not of a sufficiently glowing nature to cause us to leave our present surroundings and rush to others "we know not of." Colored people in Oklahoma are reputed to be the best off in this country from a stand-point of worldly possessions. If they can better their condition in Africa, let them go. That they have not sent some disinterested person over there to investigate conditions and make a report thereon is another evidence of their lack of fore sight. A GREAT RECOGNITION. The colored people of the country will learn with great satisfaction that Rev. E. C. Morris, D.

The outlook is dark for us sometimes, but we think we see the dawn of the morning. THE STATE AUDITOR'S REPORT. We have received the annual report of Hon. C. Lee Moore, Auditor of Public Accounts of Virginia. We believe we are correct in saying that it is the best one ever sent out from that office. Mr. Moore has brought to the position the training of almost a life-time and everybody in the state capable of judging has had occasion to pass upon the kind and character of his transcendent ability. The report shows that the assessed valuation of the property, both real and personal of the colored people of Virginia for the year ending September 30, 1913 is ($34,743,656). Thirty-four million, seven hundred and forty-three thousand, six hundred and fifty-six dollars. The assessed valuation of the property, both real and personal of the colored people of litchmond, Virginia is, ($4,118,910) Four million, one hundred and eighteen thousand, nine hundred and ten dollars. When it is understood that our people were practically penniless at the close of the late Civil War, the significance of those figures will be apparent to the most prejudiced. The better class of white people made possible this magnificent achievement of our people. Let us work and hope and hope and work. "If God be for us, who can be against us?" It is Unfortunate. The controversy which has arisen between Grand Chancellor Mitchell Jr. of Virginia Pythians and Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green of the whole Pythian family, is unfortunate. However, if what Mitchell says is true, the Pythian family and all the other members of the beetle off by getting rid of the beetle kind of men against the Mitchell complaint is leveled. There is entirely too much sheming and too little real work done by heads of the Negro institutions. The fundamental laws are being violated constantly, and we believe that the whole cause originates from the fact that members of subordinate lodges and delegates to Grand Lodges fail to elect men who have the proper standard and stamina to be placed at the heads of their respective institution. Some members of those institutions are not well informed in this connection unless they impossible to find a Grand Officer in them who is not perfectly honest. And on the other hand there is a number of people who hold that every grand officer elected is crooked. The fact is the extreme view in either case is wrong. There are plenty of honest men elected to office. And we regret to say that there are some dishonest men elected in all the institutions. And it is to this class we call attention. They are the careless men who come to the fe and prosperity of the institution and to the race of which they are a part. And the men and women who hide the faults of these people really encourage crookedness. The thing to do is to expose crime committed in the high places as well as in low places. If a crime is committed by the head of the institution it should be considered more serious than if committed by one with a lesser trust. And their elimination would assuredly make for the permanency of their respective institutions. Bank Depositors There was never a clearer exhibit of the psychology of the ignorant and unthinking bank depositor than that afforded last Friday and Saturday nights in Brooklyn. A private bank there keeps open until 9 o'clock for the convenience and accommodation of its depositors, who are mostly women. At clock on Friday a man, apparently wild, ran through the doors waving his book and yelling that he wanted his money quick. Before he could get out the place was jammed, and the throne were lead. The police reserves had to be called, and they used their clubs to keep over a thousand hundred acres in line. Some one had whispered and the wild man had whispered, and they all had whispered upon the whisperings, with the result that they started a run in an unconscious effort to wreck the bank. The banker kept open late and paid out $18,000 in sums from $5 to $100. They all chose their hole best to rein him and themselves, and did not been able to succeed through no fault of their own. The next night the police reserves are said to have had more trouble in maintaining order than upon the night before. Why? Because the depositors had heard a new set of whisperings and that the first crop were unfounded and started by a malicious person. But this night the run was toward the bank, not away from it. The $18,000 was returned, and more too, for the reason that the depositors were "more afraid" Saturday night that they would lose their own money than they were the night before that the bank would lose it. In other words, the new set of whisperings was well founded. A host of crooks had read of the run and forthwith appeared to take advantage of it. This condensed account of a phenomenon that is familiar in financial circles ought to point a moral, but it does not seem to do so. The spouters for the "plain people" are ever ready with the criticism that banks are cold, calculating, selfish institutions, totally devoid of feeling. But what of the rank and file of depositors? We never hear of their fallings, of their eager desire to stab at the slightest provocation the very place in which they have pretended to have the most implicit trust. --- Generous Gift for Curry Institute. The Curry Institute has received a handsome gift of real estate valued at $2,000. The friend who donated the same is Mrs. Martha Fouse, a colored lady of Westerville, Ohio. She was born a slave and sold from her parents when a little girl in Cass county, Mo. Mrs. Fouse tells that she has watched the work of the Curry Institute since its beginning and makes her gift as an expression of the great service the founder and the president, Prof. Curry, is doing for the colored race. The property will bring a neat sum from rental which will go toward a scholarship hearing her name, the Martha Fouse scholarships. This is a good start on the $25,000 endowment which Prof. Curry hopes to raise when the school shall celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of its founding. The gift, coming as it does, from a colored woman speaks for the interest that the better element of the race hold in our local institution. Mrs. Fouse is in the city the guest of Mrs. Curry. She will be here for the reception Friday night of this week and present the warranty deed for the property.

Lines Dimensions Mia Oma Ambition MAP MULHALL Field That Manufacturers Methods: Were "Dishonest" Report Says Illinois Congressman Was Guilty of Grave Acts of impropriety. Results of the house lobby investigation by a committee headed by Representative Garrett, of Tennessee, were made public in two reports—a majority report signed by Democrats and Republicans alike and a supplemental report filed by Representative McDonald, of Michigan. The majority made no recommendations, but declared Representative McDormott, Democrat, of Illinois, had been guilty of acts of grave impropriety, unbecoming the dignity of his position, though "we cannot say that he has been corrupted in his votes." The majority report also held that M. Dermott, having intimate relations with I. H. McMichael, former chief page of the house, knew that "Colonel" M. M. Mulhall, "a lobbyist for the National Association of Manufacturers," employed McMichael. The majority held that both the National Association of Manufacturers and the American Federation of Labor engaged in political activities and expended money to effect nominations and elections of the members of the house. McDonald, who agreed with the majority findings, declared congress had fallen somewhat from its high estate in the estimation of the American people, and made recommendations for legislative reforms. The main conclusions in the majority report define a lobby as "a person or body of persons seeking to influence legislation by congress in any manner whatsoever." The National Association of Manufacturers, the National Council for Industrial Defense, the National Tariff Commission association, the American Federation of Labor, the Washington City Association of Liquor Dealers and Washington loan sharks are found to have maintained lobsters. Martin M. Mulhall is held to have admitted errors in some vital statements made in his charges, but to have been corroborated in others of importance by officials of the manufacturers and the industrial defense council. Mulhall, the report says, was extravagant in many of his assertions and overstated his potency and influence; he entertained animus against many of those against whom he made allegations and used names of public men with an unjustified freedom. High superior officers of the manufacturers' organization and the defense council used him "very largely and primarily for personal lobbying," says the report! The lobby of the National Association of Manufacturers and of the National Council for Industrial Defense is held guilty of improperly preventing and seeking to prevent legislation. Graveset doubt was expressed as to the propriety of acts of Mulhall and James A. Emery, counsel for the manufacturers. The report added: "It is outrageous and offensive that these associations should have their paid hirelings about the capitol buttonholing members of congress, to induce them to remain away when a vote was being taken." Nothing illegitimate was found in the activity of the American Federation of Labor. Libbies of Hour dealers and of money lenders in Washington were found neither to have effected nor prevented legislation improperly. Methods used by the manufacturers' organization in sending Mulhall through the country with funds to organize temporary associations was denounced as "improper, disreputable and dishonest." U. S. COURT ON THAW'S SANITY To Decide Legality of New York Statutes and Criminal Imag Judge Edgar Aldrich ruled in Concord, N. H., that the mental condition of Harry K. Thaw must be determined in the federal courts. The court's announcement was made at the hearing on Thaw's petition to be admitted to bail. "The constitutional questions involved in this case," said Judge Aldrich, "are of such importance that I shall not pass upon them myself, but shall forward them as promptly as possible to the supreme court of the United States." The constitutional questions are concerned with Thaw's extradition, his status in New York and his status in New Hampshire. 22,000,000 Bibles Printed Last Year.

EXPAND THE SOUL The plowman that turns the clod may be a Cinemaus or a Washington or he may be brother to the clod he turns. It is in every way creditable to handle the yardstick and to measure tape. The only discredit consists in having a soul whose range of thought is as short as the stick and as narrow as the tape.-Horace Mann. Oil on the Waters Oil may be applied to the sea in a hundred ways. In emergencies it may be pumped overboard. It may be emptied through the snappers, through the ship's drums or by means of her pumps. Where it spreads the slapping tumbling motion of the water ceases though the swell of the sea of course continues. Navigators for centuries have found oil of great value in preventing great breaches of water that sweep vessels in a gale. With the comers reduced the vessel will ride the swell instead of running danger of being swamped beneath it. Bear Admired A. M. Kaight, U. S. N. in Philadelphia. No Waiting For Him.

Rebel Leader Who Captured Chihuahua and Will Maroh on Capital. © 1914 by American Farm Association VILLA WELCOME TO CHINUAHUA Rebel Leader Pardons 200 Federal Soldiers. FIGHTING NEAR THE CAPITAL Zapata's Troops in Battle With Federais Twenty-six Miles From Maxi-cep City. Telegrams came to Juarex, Max- from General Villa to the effect that he had reached the city of Chihuahua and was warmly welcomed by the people. He has pardoned the 200 Federal soldiers who remained behind to guard the city. The following telegram was received in Juarex by General Benavides from General Carranza at Hermoello: "Please communicate to General Villa that General Gonzales has communicated to me that a military train belonging to the Federal column under General Rubio Navarete was captured by our forces at Garsa Valdes Nuevo Leon. Arms, horses and provisions were included in the capture. The important towns of Linares and Montemorelos have also fallen into our hands. The enemy abandoned their arms and equipment when they fled from these places. Our forces are pursuing them in the direction of Monterey." As a means of placing the rebel territory on a normal basis, Villa has issued an order that all food stuffs shall be sold at prices usually obtained in times of peace. Stores in rebel cities thus are required to sell goods at the prices named by Villa. The rebel leader says that if merchants attempt to ask higher prices he will confiscate their property. BATTLE NEAR CAPITAL Zapata's Bandits Fight Way Close to Mexico City. Fighting is reported to be in progress twenty-six miles from Mexico City between Federal troops under General Castro and forces of Zapata's bandit rebels. The fighting is reported between the villages of Contreras and Asjuco. Fighting is also going on near Tres Marias. Zapata's men are said to have begun a general advance on the capital and had made good progress when they were met by Federalists dispatched from Mexico City and from Cuernavaca. As the rebels advanced they destroyed the railroad. Reinforcements joined Zapata's men, coming from Puebla and Guerrero. The government refuses to give out any information as to the success or failure of its troops. This has caused reports that the Federals are retreating. Three thousand men, fully equipped under Zapata, are almost within sight of the capital. There is a growing fear in the city that a few hours will see looting and killing in the streets of the capital. A battle between the Federal troops under General Joaquín Mace and the rebel forces commanded by General Candido Aguilar is expected within a The deep connections placed by Tuxpan. War time admirals report a general advance from Tuxpan of a column of Federalals sold to number 1800 men. REFUGEES REACH BORDER Non-Cemétani, Guarded by Federal Troops. Arrive at Olinaga. Stretching for thirty-five miles across the country towards Chihuahua, the head of the column of noncombatant refugees and federal troops from Chihuahua reached Ojiniga, on the Texas-Mexican border. Among the refugees are included the family of General Luis Terratas, the richest man in Mexico, and others of the most aristocratic families of the Mexican state. Many of these brought all the money they could get in Chihuahua, and the Federal soldiers, in addition to escorting the refugees, are said to have had the task of guarding over $5,000,000 in cash. With Genera Salvador Mercado, military governor of the state, under the Huerta government, who commands the party, are Generals Pascual Orosco, Marielo Caraveo, Ynez Salazar and Antonio Rojas, late rebel leaders against Madero, who embraced the Huerta cause when Madero was assassinated. There are 500 men, women and children in the column. Heima of Fair Asphyxiated. Mrs. L. B. Hart, seventy-one years old, was found dead in her home in Worthington, a suburb of Columbus, Ohio, and her two nieces, Misses Barbara and Rachel Hart, are in a dying condition as a result of being overcome by gas. Mrs. Hart and the two nieces were left $500,000 by the late United States Senator J. G. Fair; of California, who was an uncle of the two young women. 1,750,000 Acres Open For Entry. Secretary Lane designated 1,750,000 acres of dry lands in western states as suitable for entry under the enlarged homestead act. The lands are in Montana, North Dakota, Arizona, New Mexico and Idaho. Pittsburgh Mansion Burned. The mansion of the late Captain Samuel Brown, in Pittsburgh, Pa. was burned. Loss, $125,000. Five servants narrowly escaped. For the second time within a week a small girl has been attacked near Easton, Pa. The latest victim is Sarah Gehret, eleven years old, daughter of Wilson Gehret, of Island Park. The person who attacked her seized her while she was on her way to school, dragged her into a quarry hole, bound and gagged her, and after mal-treating her, cut her hair from her head. Then he pulled a lunch from his pocket and ate it, teasing his victim by pretending to offer it to her. She was found unconscious two hours later, gagged and bound. A description of the man agrees with that of a supposed tramp about twenty-three years old, who has been seen about the place for the last few days. Twenty-seven men were burned to death in a fire which destroyed the Arcadia lodging house in Boston, this being the heaviest death toll ever recorded in a fire in Boston. Two persons were fatally injured and more than a score were slightly hurt or overcome by smoke. There were 179 men asleep in the lodging house when the fire started. The flames spread swiftly through the slimy building and several men caught on the upper floors leaped from the windows. All of the victims were poverty-stricken men, the lodging house being a 15-canteen a night affair. Many of them were homeless wanderers, and for this reason the authorities bollove that the names of all the victims will never be learned. Former Congressman Joseph C. Sibley and Miss Idia L. Rew were married at Mr. Sibley's New country home near Franklin, Pa. The marriage was kept secret two days. The ceremony was performed in the presence of the two families by Rev. Herbert A. Ellis, of the First Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Sibley is sixty-three years old and his bride is thirty-eight. Miss Rew was a favorite niece of Mr. Sibley's first wife and has been a member of the Sibley household for many years. Sight of Comma Cause bulletus. The constant sight of coffins in his place of employment in Boyertown, Pa., is believed to have prompted David Moats, forty-five years old, to take his life by hanging himself in his barn. He was employed by the Boyertown Casket company and had charge of the shipping of caskets. This work is believed to have caused melancholia. Mimicry Kills Nine Monkeys. An attempt to imitate their master's operation of an oil stove cost the lives of nine monkeys in the shelter house at Rivera Park, at Indianapolis. They opened the door of their cage and began playing with the oil stove. The stove exploded, setting fire to the house, which was destroyed, with a loss of $20,000. 36,000 Edges From Russia This year, indianapolis eggs were imported to Philadelphia from Russia.

Crisiph: Confessee Murder Daniel Lee, the Steubenville, O. nationen-year-old Cripple, confessed to the prosecuting attorney of Brooks county that he murdered George Mennay, an old and wealthy Steubenville farmer. ```markdown ``` Photo by American Press Association. Suffragists in all sections of the country are discussing the incident in Washington when Miss Helena Todd, a woman accused of several remarks at Secretary of State Bryan during the course of one of his speeches. The questions and answers caused great excitement at the time. This was intensified when Mr. Bryan left the plaftera. The dig of the American suffragist and the man she accused of being seduced by Mr. Bryan was in striking contrast to the methods used in England, both by militants and the government officials. BRIDE IS STABBED BY. POISONED NEEDLE Feels Like Wasp Sting and She Faints From Pain. A common darning needle found in the theater box in Newark, N. J., occupied by Mrs. Marjorie H. Graff, a bride of a week, is believed to be the instrument by means of which Mrs. Graff was inoculated with a subtle poison which caused her to fall insane within a few minutes. This developed with the arraignment of Armand Megaro, a Cuban student pharmacist, the other occupant of the box, on a charge of assault. The needle was submitted to a chemist. It was found near the spot where Mrs. Graff sat. Megaro stoutly asserted his innocence when confronted by Mrs. Graff on the witness stand. She said she had felt a sting on her hand, as if she had been pricked by a pin or a needle, that her hand had quickly become numb and that the feeling spread to her arm. She left the box and went to the women's waiting room, where she fell unconscious, but was soon revived. Megaro, who sat behind her, was arrested before leaving the theater. He was held in $20,000 ball. Mr. and Mrs. William Graff were married two weeks ago. They went to stop with friends in Newark. While taking a walk Mrs. Graff entered a vaudeville and moving picture theater for an hour's entertainment. A few minutes later a man entered the box. She had almost forgotten his presence until her coat, which hung over the back of her chair, slipped to the carpet; she reached down for it. Instantly she stifed a scream, for she felt a sudden and sharp pain in the back of her hand. In a few moments her arm became helpless and an overpowering feeling of faintness followed. She shuddered as she thought of the sting in her hand and looked at the man behind her, who appeared to be devoting his whole attention to th stage. With an effort she left the box and one of the women ushers assisted her to the retiring room. After she recovered she told Police Lieutenant Farrell of the pain in her hand, which was now badly inflamed and swollen. Dr. J. Henry Clark said that she had undoubtedly been stabbed with a needle. WOMAN·KILLS MAN ON DARE Stabbed Him to Heart When He Gave Her Knife and Dared Her. While he was seated with a woman at a table in a restaurant in Baltimore, Md., Joseph Meyers, known in sporting circles as "Buffalo" Meyers, took a knife from his pocket, bared his chest, and, handing the knife to the woman, dared her to stab him. The woman drove the knife into the man's heart; helped him to the street and then fed. Meyers died shortly afterward in a hospital. It was said the couple had quarreled previously. Pension For Mrs. Galliard. A bill proposing a gift from congress of $16,000 and $30 a month pension for the widow of Cobenel Galliard, the Panama canal engineer, was favorably reported to the house interstate commerce committee. Killed by Train as He Stoops For Cane Dr. T. Marshall Huntington, of Amesbury, Mass., was killed by a train at the Boston & Maine station in Newburyport, Mass., when he stooped to pick up his came. Three Clocks to a Monitor Democratic economy was not mentioned by either side when a resolution providing that any senator not already having three clerks shall at once be allowed that number, went through the upper house so fast that those in the gallery could hardly follow the proceedings. Gelatina Mixing House at Gibbstown, N. 1. Plant-Blows Up. The Victims Were Blown to Pieces and Many Nearby Tewns Were Shaken. Six men were killed and two were injured in an explosion of 700 pounds of gunpowder at the Dupont Powder works, at Gibbstown, N. J., on the Delaware river, sixteen miles below Philadelphia. All the dead men were employed in the gelatine mexing house, which was leveled to the ground by the explosion. They were: Harry Horner, of Paulsboro; married; had four children. Howard Clark, Paulsboro; married. Herbert Mullen, Paulsboro; single. Stanley Joka, Paulsboro. The injured men were employed near the mixing house and were almost buried under the debris, which was sent flying in all directions. They are Alexander Bonsack and Michael Sam. They will recover. The building in which the men lost their lives was the scene of a similar explosion a little more than three months ago, when four men were killed and a score injured. It was a one-story brick structure, about 20 by 30 feet. Under ordinary circumstances only four men work in this building. Two others were assigned as helpers. Officials of the plant were unable to tell the cause of the explosion. When the powder let go there was a wild scramble among the employees, of whom there are about 1000 in the entire plant. The men in the mixing house were literally blown to pieces without a chance to escape. The detonation set fire to the debris, but the blaze was extinguished in a few minutes. A gang of men was immediately put to work to dig the bodies from the ruins. Physicians from Gibbatown and Paulsboro, as well as those attached to the works, climbed over the debris, ready to give aid to any one who might be found alive, but all had died instantly. The detonation threw the towns of Paulsboro and Gibbatown into the highest state of excitement. A large part of the male population of both towns are employed in the powder works, and many women and children, fearing their loved ones had been killed or injured, rushed to the rates. The explosion was no heavy that it was felt through a large part of South Jersey and in many parts of Philadelphia. Find Lost Ring on Leg of Dead Rat A lost wedding ring was found on the leg of a rat, which must have stepped on the ring many years ago. A wedding ring supposed to have belonged to Mrs. Harrison E. Walker, who, with her husband, James Walker, was a tenant on a farm between McKee City and Somers Point, N. J., was found when workmen began to remodel the home she and her husband occupied. The Walkers, who left the east more than a year ago, to take up a home stead claim in southern Texas, often wondered what had be one of Mrs. Walker's wedding ring. She thought she lost it while washing clothes in the basement of her old house. When the workmen started to remod the old Walker house on Friday they were so hampered by rats that quantifies of poison was placed about the house. The men sound over a hundred dead rats lying about on the floors, and on the left trunk foot of one was a gold band. The land was so tight fixed on the rats' leg that it had to be filled off. On the inside of the ring were the letters "from H. E. W. to M. E. H. Dec. 29, 1902." Mrs. Papkhurst Out, But In Sick Bed. Mrs. Plameline Pankhurst, the militant suffragette leader, who was arrested at Plymouth, England, Dec. 4 on her arrival from the United States aboard the steamship Majestic, was released from the Exeter jail. Mrs. Pankhurst began a hunger and thirst strike immediately following her arrest. Mrs. Pankhurst was driven to a hotel. She appeared very weak and immediately retired to bed in charge of a nurse. Mrs. Pankhurst is liberated on seven days' license. She intends to proceed to London at the carliest possible moment. The dean of the cathedral at Exeter assented at the services to a request that a prayer for Mrs. Pankhurst be recited. The congregation was accordingly invited to pray "for Mrs. EmmeLine Pankhurst." This is probably the first time that the name of a convicted criminal has been given out in this manner in an English church. Finds Mothir Murdered August Guth, twenty-one years old, an electrician, returned from his work to his home at 206 West Eighty-fourth street, New York, a little late for his supper. Hurrying to his room, he took off his coat to wash. Without looking, he threw it on top of a blanket that was spread across his bed. He turned on the electric light and then noticed that there was something huddled up beneath the blanket. He pulled back a corner of the covering and saw the face of his mother. She had been murdered, shot through the heart. Ten minutes after Police Captain arrived a general alarm was sent out for Oscar Vorg. thirty-nine years old, a chef, who had lived with Mrs. I am very anxious to get in touch with some of my people.

Hyman Wachter, of Vineland, N. J., wants $5.80 from Mrs. Bertha Wickler as a balm for his broken heart. Wachter is sixty years old and Mrs. Wickler is forty years old. The day that Wachter cast his eyes on Mrs. Wickler it was love at first sight. When he found she had a husband in Russia he advanced $5 to send for a divorce. Soon after Mrs. Wickler's love cooled, Wachter says, and now he wants Justice of the Peace De Lucia to sue Mrs. Wickler for breach of promise and the recovery of $5.80, of which $5 is for the divorce, 30 cents for postage and 50 cents for a theater ticket. Justice De Luca has summoned Mrs. Wickler, to appear before him to show cause why she should not restore her former lover's money. Slayer on Hunger Strike. With forty days more of life before him, John Shushinski began a hunger strike in jail at Pottsville, Pa., to cheat the gallows. Shushinski, who killed his roommate while the latter was sleeping, was convicted, and Sheriff P. J. Murphy read the death warrant to him, the date of the execution being fixed for Jan. 15. Shushinski heard the reading in silence and refused to speak a word to the sheriff or his party, but later, declared his intention of starving himself to death. "I will give Mrs. Pankhurst some pointers; just watch me," he declared. The prison officials say that Shushinski went on a hunger strike several months ago, but was talked out of it by his spiritual adviser. They will not feed him forcibly in order to keep him alive, they say. Declaring that he had died a thousand deaths the lost two weeks as a result of a nervous breakdown and inability to sleep, Edward F. O'Brien, of Los Angeles, Cal., and brother of former District Attorney Joseph O'Brien, of Scranton, Pa., shot and killed himself on the steps of the court house in Scranton. He died several hours afterward. In a letter to his brother, Attorney O'Brien, which was found in his pocket, he said that he had slept only four hours in the last week. "A man can't fight when his nerves break down that way," he wrote. Bib String Kills Baby. Clarence Garrison, eleven months old, the son of Mrs. Honca Garrison, of Glassboro, N. J., was strangled to death by his bib string. The baby was playing about the floor while the mother attended to her housework. She stepped into the next room and the child tried to follow her. As the baby crawled around the doorjam the bib string caught on a nail and tightened when the child pulled away. When the mother returned to the room several minutes later she found her son dead. Col. Galliard, Canal Digger, is Dead. Lieutenant Colonel David Dubois Galliard, one of the chief engineers of the Panama canal, died at the Johns Hopkins University hospital in Baltimore. Colonel Galliard had been in a semi-conscious condition for weeks. He suffered from hardening of the arteries of the brain, brought on, it is said, by the strain of his work on the Culebra Cut, which he put through in the face of enormous difficulties.

Preventive Treatment With Serum Has Proved Successful. The university farm of Minnesota university has published a bulletin on hog cholera and its preventive treatment from which the following is gleaned: Hog cholera has been recognized as a specific contagious disease of swine for about 100 years. The first authenticated outbreak in this country occurred in 1833, when large numbers of hogs in Ohio died from a disease which answers the description of hog cholera as we now know it. This highly contagious disease has caused the loss of millions of dollars annually. It has been estimated that the losses during 1912 reached $50,000,000. One state alone is said to have sustained a loss of $10,000,000 from this dread disease in 1912. It has been recently discovered that well hogs may be treated (vaccinated) with hog cholera serum so that they will not take the disease if exposed later. Such treatment is called immunization. This method of treatment has passed the experimental stage and The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text.

TREATING A BOW FOR CHOLERA. in now on a practical working basis. There are several different methods for immunizing bogs or making them immune to cholera. Immunization consists in bringing about the presence of what are called immune bodies in the blood. They enable the animal to resist such cholera forms as enter the system. These immune bodies are present in the blood of bogs that have recovered from cholera. Such animals are sometimes called "immunes." A hog that has been treated with hog cholera serum without exposure to cholera at the same time does not form any protective substances or immune bodies of its own. It is rendered immune for a short time (three weeks to two months), due to the presence of the protective substances injected. Such treatment is known as the single or "serum only" method. When it is desired to make a hog permanently immune and there is no cholera yet in the herd it is necessary that hog cholera germs be introduced into his system simultaneously with the serum, which protects the hog from the cholera germs injected. This is accomplished, by the introduction into the hog's body of a small amount of virus. Virus is the germ laden blood obtained from a hog sick with cholera. It is injected at the same time with the serum, but with a separate syringe. By this method the hog is enabled to develop enough protective substances of its own to render it permanently immune. This is known as the double or "serum virus" method of treatment. Caked Udder In Cows. Caked udder in cows is also commonly called gargret, of which there are two kinds—one noncontagious, the other infectious. It is frequent trouble, especially in cold weather, often due to "catching cold" in the udder. The symptoms usually appear soon after calving, and many complications often ensue, some times resulting in a damaged quarter. Since cows are so high priced it is certainly poor economy to attempt home treatment in severe cases. If your veterinarian treats the case he can give you the benefit of a personal examination. If a veterinarian is not available the general treatment is to give a purgative of epsom salts and bathe the udder with warm water to which have been added several table-spoonfuls of sodium hyponphthalite. Dry completely and rub in carbolated lard or ointment. Milk frequently.—Kansas Farmer. GENERAL FARM NOTES. Need corn should always be stored on the ear. It should never be put into boxes, barrels or sacks. In the making of cheese it should be turned in the hoops in the morning and kept well pressed until about noon. Good results are obtained by pressing two days. The lack of a manure spreader and other things of the kind has driven many a boy away from the farm. Farming can be made drudgery for the boy, but it need not be so. Look at the question of farm implements from the boy's standpoint if the financial ad valence do not seem clear enough.

It Was Double Price, at That, but H Taught Him a Lot. Mr. Potterton prided himself upon being a man of a philosophical turn of mind. Coming home one evening, he discovered that a thief had taken his scarfpin, an heirloom. Mrs. Potterton was for sending out a general police alarm, besides asking the departments of Yonkers and Patchogue to help in the search. But Mr. Potterton had other views. "I will advertise for its return, Maria," he declared. "The sum of $10, with promise of no questions asked, will get the pin back. The $10 is less than I would be obliged to pay the detective as a tip, and the detective would not recapture the pin. Cheaper, quicker, safer." Mr. Potterton advertised. An answer came. Mr. Potterton was to be on a certain corner at 9 o'clock that evening. He kept the appointment faithfully, and a man came up to him, handed out the scarfpin, took the $10 and turned away. "But hold, my good man," said Mr. Potterton. "I mean you no harm, but I am so curious to learn how it was that you took the scarfpin without my noticing the order-thief that I will gladly pay you $10 more to have you show me how it was done." The man looked at Mr. Potterton's face. It was transparently honest. "Put the pin back in your tie," he commanded. "Now," he went on, "do you remember that the other evening in the subway a man, holding a paper in one hand, lurched against you? That man was I. Just as my hand struck your breast I extracted the pin. I left the train at the next station. If you will remember I struck you just so." The man tapped Mr. Potterton as he had done in the subway. "Your skill is truly marvelous," said Mr. Potterton. "Thank you, my good man. Good night." Arrived home. Mr. Potterton described to Maria the success of his efforts and how the thief had taken the pin. "His light fingeredness was truly astounding," he declared. "He showed me his method. He struck me just here"—And Mr. Potterton illustrated the blow and stopped, thunderstruck. "The scourge!' he shouted. got it again!"—New York Post. True Charity.

It is the almost universal head covering of the eastern and southern lands of the Mediterranean and has been widely distributed in the still active diffusion of Mohammedanism. This type of felt hat without trim is of the utmost antiquity and seems to have undergone no marked change save the tassel from the early monumental record of the Euphrates valley.

Work at Virginia Theological Seminary and College. Our educational work as it is being conducted at Virginia Theological Seminary and College, is in a most commendable and encouraging condition. The College has, because of its principles, teachings, and worthy work, been the pride of the Negro Baptists throughout the nation. Especially has it been the object of support and preferment of the Baptists of Virginia, Maryland, District of Columbia, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Because of the profound interest the Baptist hosts have, had for it, they have watched its every stride. Step by step it has climbed the rugged height, its feet pierced with the thorns of opposition, its sides gored with protruding and over-hanging rocks of prejudice; steep and winding has been the way, but it has renewed strength and vigor to go forward and upward, until this day at high noon with a clear sky, it stands on the summit of extension with its banners unfurled to the breeze, as a mighty conqueror, groomed for further right-ous, intellectual conquests. The Virginia Seminary and College stands to inspire the youth of the race. It educates the head, the heart and the purposes of the youth. It finds an ideal in the race and magnifies that to Negro youth, thereby encouraging and stimulating them. In enrollment we are now approaching the three hundred mark. We can entertain three hundred and twenty-five and that number has been accepted. Another year we will be in a position to take care of five hundred. Never before was the day brighter for the work. NEW DORMITORY On December 15th, the corner stone of the "Girl's Dormitory" will be laid. It is our purpose to make the 15th instant a gala day in Baptist history. We are expecting our leaders to be present in large numbers from many States and the rank and file of our membership from all sections of Virginia. At three o'clock P. M. the corner stone exercises will begin. Several noted persons will speak on this occasion, among them, Drs. W. P. Graham of Philadelphia; C. S. Morris, of Norfolk; A. A. Galvin of Danville, President of Virginia Baptist State Convention; Mr. A. Hamilton of Lynch burg; Mrs. Eliza P. Fox of Salem, President Woman's Baptist Convention. Short address will be made by Dr. J. H. Burks, Roanoke, Chairman of Board of Trustees, Dr W. R. Brown of Roanoke, Secretary of Board, Rev. L. C. Scott of Lynchburg and others. A general Mass Meeting will be held at eight P. M. at Court St. Baptist Church. When many eloquent speeches will be made. The work on this building is progressing nicely. When complete, it will be the same size of the present main building. FINANCIAL EFFORT. It is our effort to raise two thousands and dollars on that day. The Chairman, Dr. Burks, has sent out an appeal asking individuals to send to him one dollar each and churches as much as ten dollars each. This amount he hopes to have reported at the corner-stone laying. I have sent out an appeal asking the churches to send in within sixty days one hundred dollars. We appreciate the large number of pledges we have received. One worthy of mention here, because of its general relation: That is, The Philadelphia Baptist Ministers Conference presided over by our distinguished leader and churchman, Dr. W. F. Graham, pledged as a body to make a special effort for us. This conference has in its membership some of our denomination's greatest characters. It is large in numbers, influential and powerful. Philadelphia ministers have much to do with shaping the thought of the Baptists of Pennsylvania, the New England and National Conventions. We compliment our strong brethren for their great work, and congratulate them on having as their leader, Dr. Graham, and further on the strong support they are giving him. We anticipate large things from this move from our Philadelphia brethren. Among the many others who have written, subscribing their names and churches, are: Dr. W. B. Bishop Johnson. President of the New England Convention; Dr. A. A. Galvin. President of the Virginia Baptist State Convention; Dr. W. F. Graham, pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist Church; Dr. B. Tyrrell, pastor of Diamond Hill Baptist Church; Dr. L. R. W. Johnson, pastor Court St. Baptist Church and many others. Deacon Adolphus Humbles, Anc- lier, a loyal supporter of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College, its administration, who has been Bus- iness Manager for two years and in that capacity has rendered aplendid service, is Superintendent of Con- struction of the new building. He is rushing the work on the building as rapidly as is advisable. He has been for twenty-five years a strong financial friend of the Institution. He is also Treasurer of the School and Convention. Dr. A. A. Galvin, President of Va. Baptist State Convention paid us a visit, and made a stirring and inspiring address full of thought and good. wholesome advice. Trusting for a great day on the 14th, I am. Your humble servant, R. C. WOODS, Pres. Va. Theo. Sum. & College REAL ESTATE AGENTS & BROKERS. ```markdown ``` BRAWL MAY RESULT IN DEATH. Knife and Gun Used. With Serious Effect in Saturday Night Fight at Midlothian. In a dying condition, Tom Howard, colored, was brought to the Memorial Hospital yesterday afternoon suffering from a gunshot wound received in a brawl at Midlothian, Chesterfield County, at 9 o'clock Saturday night. His assailant, Robert Wilkes, colored, was brought to Richmond on the same train and lodged in the City Jail, where a number of serious knife wounds were treated by jail physclans. An investigation of the affair will be made on Wednesday by Magistrate S. G. Cowan, of Bon Air. The men, it is said, frequently congregated in the passenger station at Midlothian, which has several times been reported to the county authorites as a loafing place for dangerous characters. Efforts have been made to break up the gang, and, although several arrests have been made at various times, it had no apparent effect. Howard and Wilkes became engaged in a quarrel on Saturday night, and the former slashed Wilkes with a knife. Wilkes then retaliated by shooting his assailant in the stomach. Both were seriously injured, and Howard probably fatally. Dr. J. B. Fisher, rendered emergency treatment yesterday. Owing to the condition of Howard it was necessary to bring him to the hospital, where he was reported last night to be extremely low. Officer Flynn, of Forest Hill was sent to Midlothian to investigate and there, arrested Wilkes and conveyed him to the City Jail, where he will be held for trial. Times-Dispatch, Dec. 9, 1913.

Sales Rentals BRAGG BRO REAL ESTATE AGENT Rentals Should Serve As Warning to Other Young Men. (Natchoz, Miss. Weekly Herald.) Mr. Jakey Brown, the step-son of S. W. Green, Supromo Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, was shot and killed Friday night, Nov. 7th, on the corner of Canal and Franklin streets by a woman named Corinne Mantley. It was aid by one of the Sunday dalles that the Chancellor Commander would call a meeting at once to devise plans to secure eminent lawyers to prosecute this woman. That the time had come to put a stop to these women killing men for nothing, we agree with the above, but if these so-called aristocrats would stay in their places, things, perhaps, would take on a different color. If they belong to the better class, why not keep out of the company of lewd women? There are plenty of nice, quiet girls who are trying to live respectable lives and who would be glad to have these first class gentlemen in their company, and would, if called upon, make excellent wives. But as a rule, nowadays, the boys who get good froside training and are well-pared for, would rather be in the lewd class of good timers, and at the end the result is fatal. This woman claimed she killed Brown because he took the money she gave him and spent it on another woman. This may be true and it may not be, but think! he worked for his step-father at a salary of $125.00 per month. With this she gave out the above cause to justify her murderous act; but what can be expected? You are judged by the company you keep. These level women, wine houses, poker games and all-night dances, etc., are the things that most of our young men love and lots of young women. Of courses when these tragedies happen, it brings shame and disgrace as well as sorrow. Let the young men who are spending their living upon these women, learn to select a girl of the better type and go before the alter and have her made his wife, and thereby bring happiness to his mother and father by his right living.
