Richmond Planet

PLANET Editor Mitchell in Danville I left Richmond Sunday morning, December 28th, 1913 for a brief stay in Danville, Va. When I boarded the Southern Railway train, I found many preachers and exhorters aboard on their way to the country churches in Chesterfield county. I engaged them in a discussion as to whether a person had a set time to die. Most of them seemed to think that a person would only die when the time came. One of them subscribed to this view of the situation, but said that a person could by his own conduct shorten his time. He could not explain though, how it was that some of the worst characters lived the longest. AT THE WRONG STATION. When Midlethian was reached about of the preachers had disappeared. They had gotten off at the way stations. There was a colored man who seemed to be unusually jelly. He said he worked for a distilling company in South Richmond. He was on his way to Sare. He had gotten on the morning train and the porter had put him off at a station but a short distance from Richmond. He had lost theory of the judge of his ticket. Finally a colored man came into the smoking room with a guitar and as he played, this other colored man danced away his twobuddies. JUST WANTED TO KNOW. He was anxious to know just who I was and for some time tried to find out. I saw him leave the train at Saxe. When I reached Daeville, I waited, but no one came to meet me. I afterwards learned that a large party had been down to the morning train and had been greatly disappointed at my not coming. The presumption was that I would not put in an appearance. Mr. James A. Gagland, a carriage driver, took my luggage and landed me at Mr. George W. Rison's cosy home. MR. BISON'S PREDICAMENT. Mr. Rison had gone to bed, sick with disappointment, as he had given me out, so to speak. He had been to the depot twice, once before day and again at 11 o'clock. Dinner was hurriedly prepared and I ate to my heart's content. I had come to Danville for rest and so I was soon in my room enjoying the solitude that the rainy day outside vouchailed to me. It was after 7 o'clock when I felt like going out and so in company with Mr. Rison, we went to the High St. Baptist Church where we were told that the B. Y. P. U. was if session. Church services were scheduled for 8 o'clock. We did not tarry. DR. GALVIN'S 'SERMON. Reaching the Loyal Street Baptist Church, we found the B. Y. P. U. in session. We visited friends and about half past 9 o'clock returned to and Rev. Dr. A. A. Galvin delivering a most able and interesting sermon. Deacon Lawson came down and invited me up to the front seat. I declined then, but it was not long before. Rev. Galvin announced my presence to the congregation and I spoke for about ten minutes, forgetting for the time being that I had come to this city for rest. MR. RISON'S RESIDENCE. After greeting many friends, I returned to Mr. Rison's residence. His Madame, who was indisposed was much improved. The next morning, my friend, Mr. John Adams came and we talked for a long time about past experiences in Richmond. His bright eyes, intelligent son is with him and he adored the boy. It was 12 o'clock when I went down town again after visiting friends in the neighborhood. Mrs. S. J. Holly- bock is coily situated and Mrs. West, is home again. Dr. and Mrs. West are prospering I found Mr. and Mrs. Weslay H. Jones at their large place of business. They are preparing and doing well. THE MINISTERS' CONFERENCE. I visited the Ministers' Conference and found them concluding their session at the High Street Baptist Church, Rev. W. P. Terry had just elected chairman and Rev. Dr. M. Moore is secretary. I was in charge by Rev. Dr. A. Calvin complimentary term that it would spend me for any remainder because to my own self-interest. Later in company with Admiral and Capt. Thomas Smith, I went over to Dr. Moses' residence where I met his Madame. I returned to Mr. Rison's residence for dinner. I had expected to go to Sutherling for a hunt, but all idea of that was abandoned as the clouds continued lowering. THE "OWL" CLUB. I visited the "Owl Club" and inspected the reading room. It will afford pleasure and profit to most any one and the arrangement of its respective departments at a minimum cost would make the manager of any Richmond club step aside with envy. It is a case where you have a hard time getting in and an easy time getting out. That night, to my surprise, Mr. and Mrs. Rison had arranged an informal supper to which a few friends were invited. We sat down and talked and joked. Finance was broached and my experiences in other sections of the country afforded information and amusement. A FINE SUPPER. The supper was a fine affair. The menu was varied and satisfactory. Among those present were Mr. John Adams, Attorney J. C. Carter, Prof. W. I. Grassy, Capt. T. H. Smith, Mrs. Charley Reid, Prof. George W. Woody and Mrs. Lucy West. It was about 12 o'clock when the last word was said. "I went to the train at about 1:20 the next morning and on the way met Mr. Wyler L. Williamson. "After visiting his place of business, in company with Mr. Smith and Mr. Reason, we went to the station. BACK TO RICHMOND When the train pulled out, I waved an adieu, realizing that the two days' rest had been beneficial to me. On the way to Richmond, I saw many hunters in the salds and I regretted that business had been overwreaking and that I was being hurried to the scene of action. JOHN MITCHELL, JR. A White Gentleman's Tribute. (Virginia Citizen) Recently in Richmond there died by unnatural cause, and horrible accident, in burning, an old "mummy" in her eighties or ninies. This alone would have brought response from sympathetic men and women of Richmond—and it did. In addition, though, she was the mother of one of the race, who in our estimation, is a superior man to Booker Washington, and that man is John Mitchell, colored, lawyer, editor, and philanthropist, an inspiration to his race, and one admired and respected by Virginians without respect to color. When big men drop their work and call at his office to express sympathy, while tears roll down the bronzed cheek, the "Fatherhood of God" is attested, and the "Brotherhood of Man" needs little more defense. Leonard Apperson—William Mundin. 1804—1914. On Wednesday evening, January 21st, from 3 to 11 o'clock, Mr. and Mrs. William Mundin will hold an informal reception at their residence, 635 N. Sixth Street, the occasion being the Fifthth Anniversary of their marriage. No cards will be sent out. They take this means of extending a personal invitation to all friends in and out of the city.

Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 3.—Alexander J. Jackson, of Englewood, N. J., colored, will be graduated from Harvard University next June, with the honor of class orator, a distinction for which there were six candidates. At his home he is known as the "Boy Demosthenes," and his ambition is to devote his life to the uplift of his race. "I believe," he said to-day, "that the uplift of the Negro, like that of any one else, must come through education." Jackson was born in Englewood on March 1, 1891. His father died a few years ago; his mother still lives in Englewood. As a youngster he sold newspapers, worked as a chauffeur and as a store clerk, tended farmwork, worked on take, tended and tried his hands, at many kinds of labor. He has working his way through school and college. Stock Holders Meet. Harmonious Gathering—Fine Reports Directors. Elected—Grand Banquet—Gold Chain and Charm Presented Press. Mitchell. Harmonious Gathering—Fine Report Directors—Electd. Grand Banquet—Gold Chains and Charm Presented Press. Mitchell. The stockholders of the Mechanic Savings Bank held their annual meeting last Tuesday night at the Pythian Castle, 727 N. Third Street. It was conceded to have been the largest attended and the best meeting ever held. President John Mitchell, Jr., presided. Prayer was offered by Rev, W. F. Graham, D. D., after which Cashier Walter T. Davis read his report. At its conclusion, Vice-President Thomas H. Wyatt took the chair and President Mitchell made his report. In his opening remarks, he quoted from Dr. South as follows: "Society is built upon trust, and trust upon confidence of one another's integrity." He added another quotation from Dr. Davies: "Let one but have this confidence and then he will not put on the strong armor of Squ, nor be afraid of the flashing spear of Golish; he needs only the siling and the stone." THE SURPLUS FUND. President Mitchell discussed the borrower and the endorser. He dealt with the stockholders and explained the value of each share of stock, stating the exact amount it was worth, based upon the actual assets of the corporation. The airplus fund of the bank had been increased to $7,500,000 during the past year and strenuous efforts were being made to reach the ten thousand dollar mark. Many new depositors were being entered upon the books of the bank. A COMPARISON He compared the Mechanics Savings Bank with similar white institutions in the city. He explained the Owen-Glass Currency Bill, telling of its advantages to state banks and its disadvantages. He told the stockholders that they could pass upon the attitude to be assumed towards this new measure by their own bank. He told of his experiences at the American Bankers' Association at Boston, Mass, and informed the stockholder that the next session would be held in this city. He complimented the Cashier, Mr. Walter T. Davis and his two assistants, Mr. Albert V. Norrell, Jr. and Mr. Leroy E. Ragland upon their efficient service. He also expressed his appreciation of the services of the Board of Directors by which he had been surrounded in his efforts to carry forward the work of the Bank. A PLEA FOR RACE PRIDE. He made touching references to the demise of Vice-President H. F. Jorathan, who had been succeeded in office by Director Thomas H. Wyatt. He made a strong plea for local race pride and the necessity for our people to support each other in their various enterprises. The gain in reality sales was $3,648.30. The profits last year were $2,627.37. The total amount of money on deposit at the close of the year was $148,081.56. President Mitchell concluded his address with the following extract from Lytton: "A man's own conscience is his sole tribunal: and he should care no more for that phantom, 'opinion' than he should fear meeting a ghost if he crossed the church-yard at dark." THE CHAUTAUQUA SALUTE. A motion was made to receive, and adopt the report and to supplement this with the Chautauquan salute. On motion of Attorney Hawin, the following Directors were elected: John Mitchell, Jr., Thomas H. Wysat, Thomas as M. Crump, R. W. Whiting, John T. Taylor, John R. Chiles, D. J. Chavers, A. D. Price, P. B. Ramsey, W. F. Grahrm, Thomas Smith. Then a solid gold chain and charm was presented by Mise M. L. Chiles as coming from President Mitchell's friends in the city and state, Pocahontas Lodge. No. 41 and Mt. Beauty Court. No. 62 of Pocahontas, Vaybe especially prominent among those contributing to the fund. It was received by him with profuse thanks. All retired to the dining hall in the basement where the tables were spread in a almost lavish manner and all of the delicacies of the season were enjoyed. At 11:30, the guests were ready to retire. In the will of Miss Catherine Otter filled in the Chancery Court, this city, the following gifts are noted: To the Colored Orphan Amusement, $60.00, and to the First Baptist Church, $50. OPPORTUNITY They do me wrong who say I come no more And bid you wake, and rise to fight and win. Wall not for precious chances passed away. Weep not for golden ages on the wane; Each night I burn the records of the day; At sunrise every soul is born again. Laugh like a boy at splendors that have sped; To vanished joys be blind and deaf and dumb; My judgments seal the dead past with its dead. But never blind a moment yet to come. The deep in mire, wring not your hands and weep; I lend my arm to all who say "I can!" No shame-faced outcast ever sank so deep But yet might rise and be again a man. Dost thou behold thy lost youth all agast? Dost real from righteous retribution's blow? Then turn from blotted archives of the past And find the future's pages white as snow. Art thou a mourner? Rouse thee from thy spell; Art thou a sinner? Sins may be forgiven; Each morning gives thee wings to see from Hell. Each night a start to guide thy feet to Heaven. —WALTER MALONE.

COLORED STUDENTS ARE DISMISSED. Names of 200 Strikers Erased From Rolls of Shaw University. Raleigh, N. C., January 6.—The 200 "striking" students of Shaw University, colored, were entered on the register of the institution this afternoon as "dishonorably dismissed." They had until 3 o'clock this afternoon to apply for reinstatement, and all failed to do so. They will be obliged to vacate the dormitories at once. About 250 students remain in good standing, these being the male theological students and girls id the industrial departments. In refusing to go on with recitations last Saturday the students rebelled against the alleged too rigid regulations of President Meserve, the fight being to force Dr. Meserve from the presidency. The latter declares that he will remain at the head of the institution during his natural life. He has the full support of the American Baptist Mission Board, which controls and maintains the university, and of the people of this city. Entertained Them Mrs. Mollie Robinson Booker, formerly of South Richmond, Va., but now of Philadelphia, Pa., and Mrs Maria Howard of Frederickburg, Va. were delightfully entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Robinson of 215 E. 17th St., on New Years Eve night. Minor games and amusements were indulged in and the guests enjoyed themselves from 8:30 until the bells rang out the midnight hour. Miss Howard left for her home on the 2nd inkt. and Mrs. Booker on the morning of the 6th. Card of Thanks. I take this means of thanking my many friends for their kindness shown me during the illness, and death of my husband, Edward J. Evans and the Soral tributes given.

At the meditative hour of twilight a, respectable colored janitor of a Richmond apartment house, a member in good standing and an usher in his church, walked up Broad Street from the market. On one arm was his wife, on the other a basket of delicacies for the next day's dinner. He was at peace with all the world. They noticed a crowd collected in front of a Broad Street pawn shop. Several police are; there. The sidewalk is crowded, impassable. Who is not a little curious? The janitor leaves his wife and the next day's dinner at the edge of the sidewalk and walks nearer to Investigate. A man has been arrested for stealing. The patrol draws up: "Break away there! Move on!" shout the policemen. The crowd scatters. The respectable colorant jantor walks back to his wife, and the next day's dinner, with a dignity befitting an usher in his church. He reaches for the basket. "Move on!" yells the big burly policeman crowding behind him. "Here you nigger, you are arrested," and he yanks him by the collar. "But you are mistaken. I haven' done anything." protested the man. "Silence!" orders the big policeman and reaches for his billy. "Don't you hit my husband," cried the wife, holding the basket. "He is a respectable man and hasn't done a thing. She's been with me all the time. Don't you hit him." "You're arrested," growled the bully one. "You've got to go to the station." Of all the onlookers only the respectable colored janitor was arrested. There was no help for it. He rode to the station in the patrol with a common pair with a thief, while the poor wife and the basket went home, the woman had injured and crying. At the station house they searched him. A folded handkerchief, some money, a pocket knife and the badge of an usher in his church were laid before the officer in charge. "What's this?" said the magistrate "what is this man here for? There's some mistake. I've heard of him. What is it about?" Nobody seemed to know. The magistrate ordered him to report at court in the morning. The janitor went home sadly. The meditative twilight was now dark night. "It isn't that I mind paying money," he complained to his good white friends at the apartment. "If suppose I will have to pay some; it is the thought that I, a hard-working man and a church member, who has never been in trouble before, and can get recommendations from you white folks any day, should be arrested. It's such a disgrace. I can hardly stand it. I don't know what to do, and big tears, rolled down his fat checks. His wife sobbed in her apron. They were very miserable. The basket of delicacies was forgotten. But one of the white folks got very busy with the telephone, and next morning the case was dismissed without a hearing. Nobody suffered except the perfectly innocent janitor and his wife. (Amelia Grason in Richmond, Va. Evening Journal.) —Attorney J. C. Carter, of Danville, Va. is in the city. —Mr. F. M.

Our friends may die and leave our hearts and homes desolate for a time; we cannot prevent it. nor would it be best if we could. Sorrow has its useful lessons, and death is the gate that opens out of earth toward the house "Eternal in the Heavens." When we lose our friends, Heaven gains them. If we mourn they rejoice. If we hang our harps on the willows, they tune theirs in the oster Orchestra above, rejoicing that we shall soon be with them. Shall we not drown our sorrow in the flood of light let through the rent of the skies which Jesus entered and to cure our loneliness, look toward Heaven knowing that every step brings us nearer to the departed and their sweet eternal home which death never enters and where partings are never known? Deacon W. H. White has departed to that realm above but the ties that united him to the Second Baptist Church Sunday School are not broken. They are too strong for death's stroke. They are made for the joys of eternal friendship. For many years he was the Superintendent of the Sunday School, and at the time of his death was treasurer. He was also one of the most faithful teachers, being always the first person present in the school on Sunday mornings. He was indeed an elder brother to every member of the church; his advice and help were sought and readily obtained by all in their times of difficulty, spiritual or otherwise. His influence, money and abilities were freely used in the interest of his brethren everywhere. He did not seek to save his life, but ever sought to spend it in the service of his Master. All can well imagine the shock that came to us on Tuesday morning when we learned that he had passed beyond the well. We sorrow for him and feel it is a duty to keep open the wound made in our hearts by this affliction which we cherish and brood over in solitude. The love which we feel for our departed is one of the noblest attributes of the soul. We shall miss our dear departed but we know that God does all things well. Therefore, Be It Resolved, First, That the Second Baptist Sunday School has lost one of its most faithful and honored members and advisers. Second, That we shall strive to follow his ideal Christian life. Third, That these Resolutions be placed among the records of our Sunday School, published in the weekly papers and a copy be forwarded to the bereaved family. Ordered by Second Baptist Sunday School.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1914 Farm and Garden Different Vegetables Should Be Treated In Different Ways. Enough vegetables in the fall go to waste from the average farm garden to supply the table during the entire winter. The task of storing is not difficult if one has a knowledge of the conditions best suited for storage and is willing to perform a small amount of labor. A dry, well airled, frost proof room, cellar or soffhouse will serve the purpose. The most favorable temperature is not over 50 degrees F. Collar, cabbage and sweet potatoes should be stored in the coolest part of the room. Jacks should be adjusted on which to place, the storage boxes or barrels. This avoids the dangers of overcooling, excess moisture and prevents decay. All vegetables should be gathered before frost, sorted and thoroughly dried before packing. For long storing preserve those of most perfect formation and firm texture. Each root or tuber should be placed a few inches apart in alternate layers with clean, dry sand. In removing those for use, care should be taken each time to recover any that may be exposed. The earth for packing should be clean and dry and should be collected in dry A VARIET OF WINTER VEGETABLES. summer season rather than after the heavy fall rains. Carrots, sweet potatoes, beets, turnips, parsnips, enchilade, salify and celery keep well stored by this method. Vegetables less perfect in form, less firm in texture should be reserved for immediate use. These may be stored in barrels or boxes with latticed bottoms. Sweet potatoes should be well dried, wrapped in paper, packed in sand as indicated, and kept in coolest part of store room. Celery should be taken from ground on a clear day, transferred to boxes of clean, dry sand. The tops and leaf portions should not be covered, but the bleached part should be well packed in the sand and placed in the coolest part of the storage room. Cabbage and cauliflower will keep for a long time if gathered and stored with the head and roots intact. The large outside leaves should be removed. Each head should be surrounded with clean, dry straw and placed downward in a few inches apart. Pack and store the same as celery. If desired parchments may be allowed to remain in the ground all winter. They should be covered in the fall with clean straw. After the early spring thaw they may be removed, washed and stored in a cool place. Paraley and watercress may be transported to flowerpots or boxes and kept in good growing condition throughout the winter. Tomatoes may be stored very late in the fall if the entire vine is carefully pulled up and hung over racks in the coolest part of the frostproof room, or the fruit may be plucked from the vines and placed on racks several inches apart. By these methods a large portion of the green tomatoes will ripen and keep indefinitely. If a frost proof storage place is not available, the trench method is satisfactory for storing cabbage, turnips, parrots, parsnips, salify, beets, etc. A well drained location should be selected and the trench should be about seven feet deep. Clean straw should be filled in to the depth of about one foot. The trench may be divided in sections for each variety of vegetables. The cabbage should be arranged as previously mentioned. In filling the trench the earth should be firmly packed and well heaped. Two boards nailed together lengthwise to form a sloping roof should be placed over the top to shed rain and snow. Vegetables stored in a trench may freeze in a severe winter and remain frozen until the spring thaw. The gradual extraction of the frost leaves the vegetables uninjured, but a sudden thaw will greatly impair the texture and flavor. The cost of vegetables grown out of canes in greenhouses and available in all markets during the winter and early spring is no high an almost to prohibit their use by people of moderate means, except as a luxury. Therefore if more attention were paid in each home to the storage of a garden, simply of winter vegetables the daily meals would be more easily plan. best, the daily diet be made more wholesome and one of the problems in the high cost of food, supply would be practically overcrowded. - Professor M. Stupper, North Dakota Agricultural College. RURAL ORGANIZATION. That rural life should be organized and can be organized in clear. Various agencies are definitely attacking its intellectual side. We are effectively studying rural physical improvements, especially good roads. The country roads are prerequisite for many important rural undertakings. They are prerequisite for better marketing, for better schools, for comfortable living and for the promotion of social life. There is obvious need of organization for sanitary purposes and for social development. Whether all these shall come through definite attack of private or public agencies or as byproducts makes no difference; they must come. We can no longer entertain the notion that rural life shall remain isolated, disjointed and unorganized. Its organization is a national, economic and social necessity. It is more difficult to organize a scattered rural population than a concentrated one, but the great need is to give the rural population at least approximately the primary advantages which the town enjoys. The town is organization, and because of its organization and of its consequent advantages it has tended to attract to it the most ambitious youth of the country. The task of rural organization is difficult, but as the greatest educator of America has said, "The difficulty of a task constitutes no reason for declining it." And in this way lies the largest promise for national upbuilding and stability. David F. Houston, Secretary of Agriculture. --- BANKERS AID RURAL LIFE. State and Federal Help Urged In This Direction. Resolutions providing for changes in the conditions of rural life in this country, which it was stated would decrease the burdens and increase the opportunities of the farmer and his family, were adopted at the third annual meeting of the committee of agricultural development and education of the American Bankers' association. Vocational training in the public schools, plans to make the marketing of farm products easier and more profitable and federal aid to make farm demonstration work more general throughout the country were among the things urged. "Our committee, being especially concerned with agriculture and instruction in that line in the country schools, realizes that it needs and must have the largest measure of aid to the end that the country boys and girls may be placed on an equal footing with those in town. Therefore we urge both state and federal aid in this direction. "As farm demonstration work through local or country demonstrators has proved to be the most practical and effective means of improving framing methods and as the government has contributed thousands of dollars toward such work in certain states and little or nothing in others, we endeavor and earnestly urge legislation on the part of congress that will provide generous federal aid in all the states for such work."

To make this post solid set it in concrete. The gate is fastened to the pole with large hinges, and a wire cable or small chain holds the weight of the gate up to the top of the pole. WINTER FEED FOR FOWLS. An ample as well as a varied supply of green feed to heens during the winter is important for the health of the fowls. Its value does not lie in the amount of nutriment it contains, but as an agent in digestion. Fowls eat more when fed green food than otherwise. Vegetables induce increased eating hence increased egg production. Nearly all the common vegetables are relished by fowls, and they should be fed at regular intervals. Mangels are easy to raise and keep well. Cabbage is a good food; the bens like it, and it does not flavor the egg. Turpils are an excellent vegetable for fowls when grown right, stored and cooked. Rape is an excellent green food to plant in the run. Potatoes are good only when boiled. As a rule they are too expensive to feed to poultry. Onions, when they can be land, are an excellent feed and, like lettuce, are excellent for chicks. Milage may be used, provided that only a small quantity is fed at first until the bens become thoroughly accustomed to it. Want to Get What You Want? TRY A WANT AD. THEES AND SHRUBBERY. They Should Be Attended to at This Season of the Year. If there is any pruning to be done in the orchard or about the lawn do it before growth begins in the spring. After the orchard is pruned look after the shrubbery and shade trees. If any large limbs of the trees of the lawn are diseased or in a partially dying condition they should be sawn off close up to the trunks of the trees and wounds painted with coal tar, or some other paint that will stop the porous of the sound wood and prevent the entrance of the germs of decay. Go through the peach orchard and dig out all borers from the roots of the peach trees before spring opens. These borers are not very active during winter and should be dug out be- A CHERRNUT THAT HAS BEEN DOO TORED. fore they begin their destructive work in the spring. A good, stout pocket knife and a flexible wire are very good implements for getting the worms out from the base of a peach tree. If there are any large cavities in the trunks of the sludge trees about the lawn they should be treated at once. A decayed place in the trunk of a tree may be treated very much the same way the defect fills the cavity in a tooth. The decayed wood of the cavity is first chipped out, then the cavity is painted with coal tar, cresote or some good wood preservative. Following this the cavity is filled with sand and cement mortar. A very good proportion to use is two parts of sand to one part of cement. If the cavity is very large pieces of broken stone may be used in the mortar to help fill up. If the work is well done the tree will often grow sufficiently to almost corer the entire cement filling. A tree is not entirely unlike an animal—its life may often be prolonged by the skill of the (tree) doctor. It is doubtful if the man who raises average crops is really making more than expenses. To make money farming you must get bumper yields. Intensive farming is not so much small farming as it is better farming per acre. How big is an acre? Well, it is about as big as the man who owns it. Farm and Fireside. --- Garanium. After the midwinter there will be room enough to space out the germulums and other bedding stock. The cuttings that were placed in fats and the young stock in two inch pots should be shifted to the three inch size and spaced on the beaches so that a good growth is encouraged. As soon as well established in these pots the top can be cut off and another cutting obtained. All the young stock possible should be taken from the plants selected in the fall for propagating purposes, for all the cuttings from which it is expected to produce good sized plants should be in the propagating bench by Feb. 1. Any rooted after March 1 will make small plants for bedding purposes. The best stock for late May and early June planting should be in four inch pots by April, that they may be well enough established by the middle of May to begin to flower and should have at that time three or four good branches that a succession of bloom is assured.

THIS is the story of a young couple who are to be married in a short time. Both have sensible and economical ideas. The man's salary is $75 a month. He is young, hard working, sober and in a good business, with prospects of "raises." The girl is pretty, sensible and well trained. She knows just what income they are going to have and that it must cover everything. This is the way these young folks are planning to use the income, and before the knot is tied they are going to try to find a place to live where such conditions are possible. Their rent must not exceed 20 per cent of their income, or $15 in month. Their table expenses must be covered by 20 per cent of their money, or $22.50 a month (that is only $5.50 a week for two people). Fuel, light and a wash-woman's wage must not be more than 10 per cent, or $7.50 a month. Their clothing must be kept within 15 per cent, or $11.25 a month (a little more than $5 a month for each). Then there will be 25 per cent of their income, left, or $18.75 a month, which must cover such items as insurance, church dues, savings, books or "higher life," as the things that lift us above our daily monotony are called. If these young people can keep within in these apportions they can be happy and free from immediate worry. If the income is raised, half of the raise ought to be put aside for an emergency fund. You see, in the division of the $75 a month there is no room for extravagance. Everything must be carefully bought. All divisions of salary, of course, like this one just quoted, are theoretical. Naturally the smaller the salary the larger the proportion that will be spent for food. But the percentages are offered as scientific signposts that point in the right direction. Young married people who work together and plan their income, who share alike the burden and the joys of life, grow very near and close to one another. So much can be done, so much borne, when love is the guiding star. The young man whitest as he goes out to work, even if the breakfast has not been very big, and the young wife wings as she washes up the breakfast dishes and plains her bills of fare with a careful thought for the cost. NEW METHODS. How to Clean Window.Shades by Latest Method. If the window shades are soiled at the bottom and if they are sufficiently long, cut them off, make a new lime and rehang. The neat appearance repay you for the trouble. If they not long enough to permit of this treatment turn the shades top to bottom. In stitching in the beam fold the hem carefully and slip the stick into place before stitching. Then there is no danger of cracking the holland. Sometimes the paper which has been used for lining the cake pan sticks to the cake. Warm the leaf slightly; then it may be the more easily removed. A few needed raisins or chopped dates added to the not or apple salad is well worth while. If the red tides of the vestibule become dull, rubbing them with lemon dipped in salt. After half an hour wash in the usual way. The tiles will be perfectly brightened. If the white of egg is used in mixing a mustard plaster there is little, or no danger of blistering the most sensitive skin. How to Darn Table Linings To darn table linen stretch the article smooth and tight in embroidery hoops. Remove the presser foot from the sewing machine, loosen the tension, alip the hoops under the needle and without turning the hoops sew back and forth until the hole is neatly filled. Then turn the hoops and proceed in the same manner across the stitching already put in. The result is gratifying, and only a few moments are required for the work. To patch a tablecloth take a piece of linen the size of the hole and coat it with white soap to make it stiff. Trim the hole evenly. Place the patch under the hole after the edges have been soaped and trimmed. Place under the presser foot of the machine and sew the patch backward and forward. If very fine thread, 100 or 150 is used. It will scarcely show. Sew on both sides, and when the tablecloth is lumbered and pressed you will find that you have a very neat patch. How to Make Buttons Stay On. "At last I have found a way to prevent the launder from tearing buttons from underwear," said a mother recently. "I button all garments up securely and turn them wrong side out and tell her not to turn them. They come clean as easily as before, and I haven't lost a button from the wringer since I tried it. This is an amenable adjustment of a long standing source of friction." Wanted Particulars: Not many years ago two men were working on the highway in a small town in Malta. As they worked they discussed various people and affairs of national importance. One morning one of them referred to the secretary of war, and the other asked: "You, who is the present secretary of war?" "Who doesn't know!" name," replied Jon, "but here comes old, Uncle David Blake. We'll ask him." As the old man drove up the laborers called out, "Uncle David, can you tell us who the secretary of war is?" Uncle David thought deeply for some moments. "Well, I ought to know; but, bless me, I can't seem to remember just now." And he drove on, thinking deeply. Soon the two men saw Uncle David coming back, and when he came within halling distance he called out: "Say, you fellern, what war did you mean, anyway?"—Everybody's. A furnace authority says: 'In mild weather it is not necessary to shake down' the furnace fire. You can economize on fuel and still have a fire ready to start full blast should the north wind begin to blow. With the furnace poker make down only part of the ashes, forming a sort of crater by poking out the ashes thoroughly from the bottom and the top. Into this crater put the fresh coal. This is really a sort of furnace within the larger one and holds the fire without using coal to heat the whole furnace. When the cold snap comes shake the grate thoroughly, shoved on fresh coal and open the drafts. --- ARRANGING FLOWERS. How to Keep Them Best When They Are Costly. In the winter, when flowers are costly and rure, it is wise to learn how to make the best of them. When arranging them never put too many blooms in any one far or rase. Flowers are seen to far greater advantage if loosely and simply arranged, and they last much longer, too, because they get more air and water. A very good plan is to fill a bowl with water and to throw into it a number of ordinary bottle corks. These, you see, will buoy up your flowers and keep them in position without showing at all. Another good scheme is to stretch a piece of very coarse mosquito netting over an ordinary round embroidery frame and set it over a soup plate or bowl filled with water. The stems of short flowers are then thrust through the net, which prevents the flowers from slipping. Slender, clear glass specimen vases, which hold only two or three blooms, show off roses and carnations to the very best advantage, but they are apt to be top heavy and upset if placed in a strong draft. You will find, though, that a little lead shot placed in the bottom of such glasses will make them as stable as rock. Change the water in the vases every day, and if you will take the trouble to slip a tiny piece off the end of each stalk just as often, holding the end of the stalks under the water while you do so, you'll find your flowers will keep fresh much longer. This prevents air getting up into the little them tubes, thus hindering the flowers from drawing up as much moisture as require. Since that no leaves are left on the stalks inside the vase either, if they are they will quickly decay and make the water white. HOW TO CURL HAIR. A Natural Looking Wave That Will Last a Week. To wave the hair so that it does not receive any injury and yet will retain the wave for some days requires the expenditure of a slightly longer time than would be necessary in the ordinary way, but even the busy woman, the clerk or typist, could and would spare a little while, say, on a Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning, to waving her hair if it would last for the remainder of the week. Shake the hair down, brush it out. Then dip a perfectly clean brush into some soft water and pass it through the hair, making it slightly damp, but not wet. Then take a slip of soft, thin muslin the full length of the hair and about five inches wide, make it quite damp, take a strand of the hair, fold the muslin over it and apply the waving tongs, making the waves in the usual way, from the roots downward. The waving tongs should not be too hot and should remain on the muslin until it becomes dry. Then redamp the muslin and apply to another strand of the hair till the whole head has been treated. When all the hair has been waved comb it through lightly and dress it. This wave will remain in for a week. How to Make Ginger Nuts Three and a half pounds of flour, a pound of butter, half a pound of sugar, five tablespoonfuls of ground ginger, three tablespoonfuls of ground allspice, two teaspoonfuls of ground cloves, two teaspoonfuls of ground cinnamon, a quart of New Orleans molasses. Rub the flour, butter, sugar and spices together and, with the molasses, knead into a dough until it is fine and smooth, then let it remain in a cool place until it becomes chilled. Mold it into small cakes the size of a cent. This is done by rolling and pressing a small piece of dough in the hand. Place them on lightly buttered tina, brush them over with molasses and water and bake in a moderate oven. This recipe can also be used for ginger cookies. How to Kick Back Bright The kitchen range should always be kept bright and immediately clean. and this state of affairs can easily be secured with just a little care. A handful of crumpled newspaper rubbed brinkly over the entire surface after each meal will keep it easily polished. This kind of rub-up is especially necessary after the top of the range has been spattered by fat from the pan. Those who stand on the common level will get a living, but not much more. Farming needs individuality of character and purpose just as running a store or a factory does. If the usual profit in a flock of heens is $1 each above the coat of food the aim should be to increase egg production and the sale of broilers or other kinds of fancy poultry so that there will be a profit of $2 for each hen kept. This is to be accomplished by selecting pullets from the best laying mothers and by breeding up with full bloomed males. If the cows in a dairy herd are paying an average of $100 a year, make an effort to raise it to $200. Perhaps the quickest way to gain this end is by discarding all animals that fail to give five gallons of milk per day for the greater part of the year. The stock may be gradually improved by selection and breeding. It may be possible also to sell a part of the milk or cream to private customers who will pay double the wholesale rate. It is not necessary that the farmer should replace all of his grade cows with high priced, pure bred Holstels, Jerseys, Guernseys or Ayrshire. However, for successful and profitable dairying it is absolutely necessary that he realize the remarkable difference in productive capacity of the individual cows in the same herd, though these cows are cared for by the same man and are consuming practically the same amount of feed. Recently a herd of hogs from the northwest was sold in one of the central markets for $5.50 per 100 pounds. A herd of similar size from a so-called corn belt state sold in the same market on the same day for $7.95. The northwestern hogs were fed a variety, including barley, illiterate amount of alfalfa, a little ground wheat, some corn and some sugar beet sirup. The other herd of hogs was fattened almost exclusively on corn. Not only did the northwestern hogs bring a higher price per 100 pounds, but they put on flesh more rapidly and economically than the others and were in every way more satisfactory. With the present knowledge of alfalfa growing no farmer, even in the strictly corn states, can find a reasonable excuse for not having some of this to feed big hogs. Hogs need to run at large in a field where there is forage. This may be clover, alfalfa, rape or artichokes. In this way they attain growth and put on flesh better than they will if penned up. If they can have whey or skimmed milk once a day, this will assist the economical production of meat. The aim must be to bring the hog up to 200 or 300 pounds at such a moderate cost that there will be a liberal profit when it is marketed. With an abundance of hay and corn there ought to be a good profit in fattening beef animals, few or many, according to the size of the farm. It would appear that with the judicious selection of feeders, with the careful handling of the animals while in the feed lot and with an even break on other conditions, cattle feeding ought to be fairly profitable. Farmers have come to realize the value of maintaining soil fertility and are using manure as liberally, as possible. Land, to be made a source of continuous profit, must be kept fertile. The proper rotation of crops combined with the raising of live stock, will contribute largely in the maintenance of soil fertility. --- Intelligent, palmaking effort. based upon the teachings of aclence, is the price of many farmers' success. --- Take a good, strong elastic band twelve inches long and double it. Sew strap loops at each end. Fasten to check strap. This little article will prevent stumbling, and the bit will be much easier on the horse's mouth. Care of Plants In Winter Look to the dabla and cann tubers stored in the cellar. If two damp mold will have formed and cause decay if not removed. Spread the tuber out, where the air is dry and separate the perfectly good roots from those touched with mold. If, on the contrary, the roots look shrivelled, put them near the floor in a damp corner of the cellar. Ventilation must be given the cellar during the winter to keep it dry. Be very sure that there are no cracks or loose window panes to set in drift and frost. How to Prevent Milk From Burning.

In Thorold's "Life of Labourer" is this amusing incident, which happened while "Labby" was still at Cambridge: "On one occasion, having taken French leave to London, he was unexpectedly confronted one morning in the Strand by his father, who looked extremely annoyed to see the youth there when he imagined him to be occupied with his studies. Henry's wits as usual were on the alert. He returned his father's cold greeting with a surprised stare. 'I beg your pardon, sir, he said, I think you have made a mistake, & have not the honor of your acquaintance. He pushed by and was lost in the crowd." "Rapidly consulting his watch, he found he could, by running, just catch a train for Cambridge. He did so, and what he had foreseen happened. Mr. Lobuchere, Sr., after having accomplished the business he was about, took the next train for Cambridge. On reaching the university he was unhered into his son's study, where he found him absorbed in his work. The old gentleman made no reference to his recourse in the Strand, being persuaded that it must have been a hallucination." Tomorrow. "The late at night, and in the realms of sleep My little animals are folded like the flocks. From room to room I hear the waggle of Challenge the passing hour, like guards that keep Their solitary watch on tower and sleep. Far off I hear the crowing of the cocks. Appreciate the opening door that time unlocks Feel the fresh breathing of Tomorrow crowd Tomorrow, the mysterious, unknown bird Who crys to me, "Remember Harmo- cile And tremble to be happy with the rest."

Wit In a Pinch: A cadet officer in the Pennsylvania Military college was reported by a faculty officer for "language" rather a severe mark in that autorestitution. At the time appointed for the hearing of "explanations" of marks the offending cadet presented himself before the commandant. "Well, sir, how did it happen that you were guilty of using improper language while on duty?" the colonel inquired. "Why, sir, as officer of the day I was inspecting the guard. In handling one of, the rifles the lock snapped shut on my finger, and it just naturally pinched 'boll' out of me." Not only was the mark "taken off," but the colonel gleefully reported to the entire corps the cadet officer's witty expulsion of his offense—Lippincott. Each For Himself Each man has to seek out his own special aptitude for a higher life in the midst of the humble and inevitable reality of daily existence. Maurice Masterhuck. His Choice. Hobbs is a good soul and a clever pianist, but no genius, and nobody takes him for one. Nevertheless he is a very serious person. Consequently it seemed to his friends a bit out of place for him to decorate his music room by hanging up Wagner's portrait and as a match to it on the opposite wall one of himself of exactly the same heroic size. Somebody ventured to call Hobbs' attention as tactfully as possible to this slight error of taste. He took it all very kindly and seemed impressed. Upon the next visit to big quarters it was observed that the hint had borne fruit. Wagner's picture had been removed.—New York Post. Blarney. A certain comedian once engaged a particular Dublin jarvey to drive him to his hotel. "What do I owe you, Pat?" he asked at the end of the journey. "I laive it to yourself, yer 'onor,' said the coachman. "No, no," retorted the comedian. "You must tell me what the amount is, or else I shall have to call a constable and ask him what the proper fare comes to." "Well, yer 'onor, it's lolke this," said the jarvey. "When the late Sir Henry Irving came to Dublin he used to give me a sovereign, Mr. Lewis. Waller gave me five and twenty shillings and Mr. Martin Harvey thirty shillings; but, beginn, you're a better actor than any of them, so I laive it to yourself." What the color didn't be, is not Two of a Kind. A certain parent very much annoyed his owner by his habit of pilloring things from the dining room table. One day Jack was found stealing pickles, and the owner in a moment of anger throw a knife at his head. His aim was so true that he actually cut off the tilt of feathers on top of the head, leaving Jack baldheaded forever. Some time afterward a minister was being entertained at dinner in the home. It so happened that the minister was baldheaded. Jack met quietly on his perch, and eyed the newcomer nudely for some time, then suddenly called out, "You blamed old food, you stuartil pickles, hey?"

SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1913. Colored folks should continue to improve their condition, buy land and build substantial structures thorow. The reduction of representation in the Southland will do more harm to the "illy-whitees" than it will do the old line colored Republicans. That is why we are not worrying about it. Manager J. I. Lowe and Editor R. R. Wright, Jr. have been reinstated by the Publication Board of the A. M. E. Church. The result will be satisfactory to the two persons interested and remove all danger of a bitter contest at the General Conference. --- Now that all of the really important measures are out of the war, we shall be able to see if President Woodrow Wilson will fulfill his pledges to colored people. That he is friendly disposed towards them, hardly admits of a question. Now comes the information that Roscoe Conkling Simmons, editor of the Memphis, Tenn. Sun in neither dead, nor sleeping. That highly complimentary obituary notice goes for naught. That he is not dead is plainly evident for we have in our possession a letter from the "corpse" We congratulate Editor Simmons upon being in the land of the living instead of being six feet down in the land of the dead. --- Colored folks, teach your children politeness to white folks, and to colored folks. When they learn these lessons well each one of your children will be the means of making our burdens in this country lighter by inducing friends of ours to help us. The uncoath, boorish, insulting colored young people are handicapping us now in our struggle for civil recognition and industrial advancement. Judge Robert M. Terrell's term of office as Justice of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia expires tomorrow. He is a candidate to succeed himself. President Will- son will have another opportunity to say whether or not the "door of hope" is to be slammed in the face of one who has discharged his duties faithfully. All 'who believe that Judge Terrell will succeed himself will please hold up your hands. That will do. If you had them up, take them down. We cannot say that we are much in favor of the "back to the farm" movement. We are not in favor of "back to anything." We believe in going forward. Those of us who are in the cities should improve our economic and financial condition and to adapt ourselves to our surroundings in such a way and manner in order to make it pay. We are in favor though of those who are on the farm, staying there and making it pay. They should not come to the cities. Industrious people are an advantage to a community whether it be in the city or in the country and fillers are useless, anywhere except in a work-house with guards standing over them. The class of worthless material that hangs about our street coffers and frequents our bar-rooms and places of a similar character would not be worth a pinch of snuff on a farm. They would only get in the way of people who wanted to work. If we are in the city, let us prove our worth there and if we are on the farm, let us prove our worth there. The country youngsters, who have spent a year or two in the cities are already ruined and industrious farmers do not want them. We may have the wrong idea about this thing, but it looks so us that we have entered upon a proper course of reasoning. RENT LIST RESIDENCES 203 E.

JESSIE M'CANN'S BODY IS FOUND Face and Hands Are Badly Mutilated and Police Believe She Was In Water Since Day She Disappeared. The mystery surrounding the disappearance of Jessie E. McCann, the twenty-three-year-old Brooklyn girl, who vanished from her home a month ago, was solved when her body was washed ashore at Coney Island. Owing to the $100 reward offered, the countrywide details sent broadcast concerning her dress and the jewelry she wore, there was unceasing vigilance on the part of the coast guards and employees along the beach fronts to find the missing girl. When George Neuse, a watchman, saw a woman's body on the Coney Island and beach and noticed that it was clothed in a brown coat, green waist and white stockings, he immediately concluded that it was the body of Miss McCann. Neuse called up police headquarters and inspector Faurot, of the detective bureau, hastened to Coney Island and after notifyinf Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty, who lives in the neighborhood. The two men hurried over to the beach and ordered the body taken to the Coney Island morgue. There, on closer examination, it was seen that 9 signet ring still clung to the third finger of the right hand. This ring bore the initials "J. E. M." The police officials at once were convinced that the body was that of Miss McCann. The face was so severely disfigured that none of the features were recognizable and the hands were badly mutilated, so that the only hope of positive identification lay in the clothing and the ring. Mr. Dougherty notified Robert G. McCann, father of the missing girl, at his residence, 438 East Twenty-first street, Flatbush, of the finding of the body. Mr. Dougherty told him that in order to spare the family the terrible trip to the morgue he would send to the house several gold pins found on the body, the signet ring, a lace collar and a shoe. After half an hour of suspense a messenger arrived with those articles. The moment Edith McCann saw the lace collar she burst into tears. It was one she herself had made for her sister. The gold pins were identified by Mrs. McCann and the shoes also. Mr. McCann telephoned to Mr. Dougherty that there was no longer any doubt as to the fate of his daughter. His son, Robert G. McCann, Jr., at once left the house for the morgue, where the identification of the body was completed. Mr. Dougherty and inspector Faurow both gave the opinion that the girl had been in the water from a day or so after she disappeared. There was no indication of play. ____. Remove Nagra as Mob Howls With five companies of the state militia holding back with loaded rifles a threatening and holwing mob of a thousand persons, the two negro youths who have confessed to the murder of James R. Coleman, a Kent county farmer, on Dec. 23, were taken out of Chestertown, Md., and lodged safely in the Baltimore jail. The temper of the townsfolk, which has been smouldering since the nearly successful attempt to lynch the negroes on Saturday night, broke out afresh as soon as Chief Judge Constable announced at the opening of court that the two accused men would be taken to Baltimore. Open threats had been made that the negroes would not be taken away alive, and only the presence of the militia prevented this threat from being carried out. As soon as the decision of the court became known the crowd outside the court houses grew ugly. A circle of soldiers with loaded weapons surrounded the court house and fell, immediately behind. From the latter place the negroes, James Paraway and Norman Mabel, were led a few minutes after the court had made its decision. The two prisoners, they are mere boys, Paraway being fifteen and Mabel seventeen years old, were brought out mancled together. As they appeared on the steps of the jail the crowd surged forward, but not the threatening muskets of the soldiers. "Kill the niggers! Don't let 'em get away! We won't stand for this!" the mob howled. "Shoot at the first attempt to break through this line!" came the crisp order from the officers as the soldiers brought their guns to their shoulders. One hundred yards from the wharf, where the steamboat General McLane waited to take on board the prisoners, one company of the militia was drawn across the street and kept back the moving throng. Another company boarded the vessel, and this act, as a guard for the prisoners on their way to Baltimore. Morgan & Co. Quit Big Corporations. J. P. Morgan & Co. announced in New York city that they had severed their connection with some of the greatest corporations in the country with which they have long been connected. This step, the firm announced, was taken voluntarily in response to "an apparent change in public sentiment" on account of "some of the problems and criticisms having to do with so-called inter-locking directorates." J. P. Morgan made this statement: "The necessity of attending many board meetings has been so serious a burden upon our time that we have long wished to withdraw from the directorates of many corporations. Most of these directorships we have accepted with reluctance, and only because we felt constrained to keep (to touch with properties which we had reorganized, or whose securities we had, recommended to the public, both here and abroad." "An apparent change in public sentiment in regard to directories now seems to warrant us in seeking to resign from some of these connections. Indeed, it may be in view of the change in sentiment upon the subject that we shall be in a better position to serve such properties and their security holders if we are not directors. We have already resigned from the companies mentioned and we expect from time to time to withdraw from other boards upon which we feel there is no special obligation to remain." Employer Will Share Millions Announcement was made by the Ford Motor company, of Detroit, Mich. of a profit-sharing scheme by which $30,000,000, approximately half the earnings of the concern, will be distributed annually to its employees. At the same time it was announced that the working day for the men would be cut one hour, making an eight-hour day, with no decrease in pay, and that 4000 new employees are to be added to the company's working force immediately, making a total of 22,000 men. Under the terms of the plan, the company announced, no employee of twenty-two years of age or over will receive less than $5 for an eight-hour day, even though he be only a floor sweeper. The minimum wages for employees is now $2.34 for a nine-hour day. In connection with the launching of the profit sharing plan, the Ford company has organised a sociological department which will keep close watch on the manner of living of all employees, and those found to be using their extra money in any improper manner will immediately cease to be beneficiaries under the plan. Jealous Man Shoots Two Melvin S. Bramble shot and killed Mrs. Laura Rosel at Middle River, near Baltimore, Md., when she tried to protect her daughter, Mrs. Irene Vossel, who had been slightly wounded by Bramble. Jealousy over the attentions of other men to Mrs. Vossel is said to have prompted the deed. Bramble escaped into the woods after the shooting. As he is known to be armed the county police are conducting the search for him in a wary manner. Bordom of Perfection. "Well, what was Frau Roth's afternoon like yesterday?"

The judgment of the federal court of Indianapolis, Ind., sentencing to prison thirty members of the International Association of Structural Iron Workers in the dynamite conspiracy cases was affirmed by the United States circuit court of appeals in Chicago in twenty-four cases, and reversed in six cases. The cases reversed were remanded to the lower court for retrial. The defendants in these cases are: Olaf A. Trettmoe, San Francisco; William McCain, Kansas City, Mo.; James E. Ray, Peoria, Ill.; Richard H. Houlihan, Chicago; Fred Sherman, Indianapolis; William Bernhardt, Cincinnati. The sentence of seven years of penal servitude against Frank M. Ryan, Chicago, president of the association, was affirmed. He was the only one of the convicted men in court to hear the decision. There were thirty-two convictions on the charge of conspiracy to transport dynamite illegally. Two of the convicted men did not appeal. No effort will be made by the government to compel the return to prison of the men denied retrial, pending argument on their petition for a rehearing. If this petition is denied they will appeal to the United States supreme court. In respect to the appeal of Ryan the decision reads: This plaintiff was president of the association and its active manager. Letters written by him at various stages show his familiarity with the long course of destroying open shop structures. Ryan wrote the letter suggesting that reports of expenditures he discontinued 'while our trouble is on.' He signed all of the checks presented in evidence as used for the purchase of explosives. Ryan in his own testimony confirms the evidence of his complicity." Gernering Eugene A. Clancy, of Francisco, the decision states that compiling with the McNamara Robert S. Hockin, who is serving in office, to blow up the Ligurian fortress. explosions in the east, is conclusively proved. Michael J. Young, of Boston, the decision declared, had been proved guilty of conspiracy in connection with explosions in Boston, Springfield, Fall River and Somerset. Frank C. Webb, of New York, had his appeal rejected on the basis of letters by him and testimony by Ortio McManigal, whose evidence frequently was referred to by the court. - J. E. Munney, of Salt Lake City, is declared personally to have assisted James McNamara in explosions at Salt Lake. Peter J. Smith, of Cleveland; O., was chiefly implicated on McManigal's evidence. Paul T. Morrin, of St. Louis; William E. Redding, of Milwaukee; Michael J. Hannon, of Scranton, Pae; Murray L. Pennell, of Springfield, Ill., and W. Bert Brown, of Kansas City, are declared fully implicated by McManigal's evidence. The other men refused appeal are: Edward Smythe, of Peoria, Ill.; George Anderson, of Cleveland; Frank J. Higgins; Frank H. Palmer, of Omaha; Fred J. Mooney, of Duluth, Minn.; William Shupe, of Chicago, and Michael J. Cunnane, of Philadelphia. Noted Physician and Author, Who Died in Philadelphia. Dr. S.

Philadelphia. Death was due to an acute attack of the grip, the seriousness of which was accentuated by his advanced age, eight-five years. Silas Weir Mitchell was born in Philadelphia on Feb. 15, 1829. He was educated in the grammar schools of the city and entered the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania. Owing to sickness, however, he was forced to leave in the middle of his senior year. He later finished his course and was given his degree by the Jefferson Medical college. "It is seldom," says one author, in writing of Dr. Mitchell, "that a man is successful in two professions. The author of 'Hugh Wynne' is one of the few who can claim that distinction." --- Clarence E. Caulk, a jeweler in Sharpstown, Md., shot and seriously wounded Leroy C. Longefellow while Longefellow was seated in Caulk's store in conversation with Caulk's wife and Chartey Walker. Five shots were fired from a revolver, but only two hit Longefellow, one on the chin, making an ugly wound. The other entered the back on the left just above the kidneys, passed through the left side, lodged in the front of the abdomen. Caulk was arrested and held in $1000 bail. Before leaving for the hospital Longefellow, realizing the seriousness of his condition, made a sworn statement as to the shooting, in which he stated that he knew of no reason why Caulk should shoot him. Caulk made no public statement, only that he and Longefellow knew why the shooting occurred. To Open a 5-Cent Hotel Hope for the man, with a few nickels will take tangible form when the Rufus F.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1914 BENJAMIN FRANKLIN Economy Hints A penny saved is a penny earned. Benjamin Franklin SOUP stock is the foundation of all soups, and the wise, economical homewife will keep a quantity of this on hand. The clear soup is made of the cheaper cuts of fresh meat and bones. The bones and trimmings of roasts should always be utilized (the bones should be cracked). They add greatly to the strength and thickness of the soup. If used in abundance the stock will become a jelly when cold. The stock is prepared by boiling and extracting the meat juices. The cheap or portions of meat are used. The shin bone is often bought, but the neck makes a stronger and more nutritious soup than any other part of the meat. One pound of meat and bones the meat cut small, the bones cracked in the allowance for one part of water Allow this to simmer for four or the hours in a covered kettle Never allow it to boil rapidly Use more bailing water if needed Serve carefully from time to time Do not salt until the meat is tender, as this tends to toughen It. Add salt, a little pepper, strain through a sieve or bag and pour in fruit juice. Then put it on ice The fat will form a cake on top when the stock is cold. This will help to preserve the stock. Remove the fat when ready to use the stock. To make soup of this use a portion of the jelly, water and ingredients, such as rice, barley, macaroni, noodles or vegetables and seasoning. Another way is to add the reasoning to the stock, such as a small onion stunk with four or five cloves, several bay leaves, one-half a teaspoonful of thyme, three carrots and a stalk of celery or half a teaspoonful of celery seed. This takes time to make, but one has the foundation and substance for many soups. · NEW PERFUME BOTTLES. How to Make Stand For Small Cologne Bottle. Most women like to have a bottle of can de cologne on their dressing table, for, apart from the refreshing toilet properties of the scent, it is exceedingly useful in case of a sick headache or sudden attack of fatness. A little stand accompanying it has many merits, for it not only provides a touch of dalmity coloring for one's bedroom, but also keeps the bottle from being easily knocked over and broken. Scent bottles are made in standard sizes, so before commencing to make the stand procure the bottle of can de cologne. Then take careful measurements, and your case will fit properly and can be refilled at will. To make the stand cut a round of stiff cardboard three inches larger in diameter than the bottle and another strip of cardboard which when joined will allow the bottle to be lifted in and out with ease. Cover both the surfaces with fancy silk or ribbon and line with either the same silk or a piece of thin white satin. Oversee all the edges and then switch the upright portion of the case to the center of the base. The oversewed edges are trimmed with fine cord and a spray of artificial flowers or a smart bow of ribbon attached to the stand. Let the case be in keeping with the character of the scent. For instance, a bottle of violet extract could be incased in mute figured silk or embosed velvet and decorated with a bunch of ribbon vials. How to Beaters Craps. It costs from $250 to $30 to return a wilted vell, the price depending upon the size of it, but the work can be done at home for notting at all, even by an unskilled person. You lay a folded sheet upon a table and pin down the vell to it very carefully. The hema must be straight and all edges laid flat. Then you take a clean white cloth wrung out of hot water and lay over a portion of the crapie. When the vell is smooth hold a very hot iron over the wet cloth and about two inches away from it. It must never for a moment touch the wet rag. Go all over the crapie as directed and do not take from the sheet until perfectly dry. The crapie will then be cramped and, in fact, exactly like new. No matter how wrinkled it may have been before, it will be perfectly smooth now. Smaller pieces of crapie may be renovated in the same way. How to Clean Light Cloth Suit. Buy two large blocks of magnesia. Lay suit or white felt hat on sheet on flat surface and rub into the garment as much magnesia as it will hold. Do both sides. Lay magnesia on cloth, then take up, shake and brush, and the suit will be smooth, smooth and fresher. It is very good for white felt-hats and baby goats. Keeping Safe: If person is mixed with mail in the proportions of one part of pepper to three of salt. it will be found that the salt flows freely in both hot and damp weather. The mixture is useful not only on the table, but it is also a time saver in cooking. A woman who has toured much may that for a long run in cold weather she designed a scheme of attire that proved entirely satisfactory, and her advice, being based on experience, is likely to prove of use to readers, so it is handed on. Protection from cold being the great point, she had a surge skirt made, lined to give extra warmth, and, with this wore a plain silk skirt and pulled over it a white jersey, with a collar coming well up around the neck, on the style of the ordinary fisherman's knitted ones. Over this came a dark blue fur lined motor coat, and for headwear she wore a knitted cap with ear flaps that fastened under the chin. As a result there was no relief to get untidy or bleached; no risk from chilly air, while the cap fitted closely enough to keep the collure perfectly in order whatever the speed or the amount of wind that might be blowing. --- MINIATURE HOUSE Hew to Make Kiddies Happy With New Plaything. The fastillious small doll need no longer use a special sort of furniture, which comes from Germany and has been in vogue in dollsm for years, of somewhat uncertain period and style. She can now find in some of the most exclusive shops perfect miniature copies of the manhogany furniture used in the house of her small mistress' parents and yet of a size suitable for a doll's house. Highbays eight or ten inches high old fashioned crates, bureaus, chairs and beds can all be obtained in mahogany stained wood. A diminutive mirror, gilt framel and with a pretty colored print in a small panel at the top, suitable for hanging over the highboy, can also be bad for the asking. Simple brass candlesticks and thy white-wax candles would be suitable accessories for a colonial room in a doll's house, and rag rugs, enclosed, can be purchased in sizes beginning as small as three inches in diameter. White 'enamelled' furniture for the doll's house is made of bedrooms, living rooms and dining rooms, and a whole house can now be furnished in white. The most convenient and labor saving devices, vacuum cleaners, sewing machines, typewriters, chatting dishes and automobiles are also made in sizes suitable for the doll's house of medium size. Flipplaces, with ever burning fires of time, come five inches high, with additions and holdings in a stand at their side. Ten sets, perfect in every detail; tray, teakettle, tempat, cups and saucers, with thy spoon and sugar tongs, sets of dishes and table linen, birds in cages, desk sets with pen, paper and desk pad; toilet articles for dressing table and washstand, for rugs and telephone are all now made for the doll's house. FEATHER BOAS. How to Renovate These Modish Much Worn Accessories. A fine and rather wholly day should be chosen for the washing of feather boas. It should be processed with in the following manner: Make a nice warm lather of soapy water. Care must be taken to see that the soap is thoroughly dissolved. Into this dip the boas, etc., gently squeeze them. The soil will quickly come out into the water. Slip them thus again and again, then get a second lot of water and repeat the dipping. When the water remains clean the washing process is finished. Avoid rubbing the boas. Let the water do the work. After the last water the boas should be rinsed, and if a pure white color is desired, dip in a falter blue water. The boys must now be shaken well. At this stage they will look quite ruined, but an hour or so sits hanging in the air will make them perfect once more. The feathers if early before will be no again, and if not known it would never be suspected that they had ever been in water. Before putting the boots away they should be gently shaken before the fire, and at any time if the boots are exposed to damp this will receive them. How to Keep Shoes Clean. Twenty-five cents is the price of a little contrivance, which any man would appreciate, and there is no reason why it should not find favor with busy women too. It is a shoel polisher which can be carried about in the pocket or handling. It is a little strip of lamb's wool a couple of inches wide and twice as long, backed with a piece of leather. When the polisher is not in use, it is rolled up with the leather side out and clasped shut with a ball and socket clasp. *How to Make Economical Jelly.* One plint of cranberries, four large apples, one cupful of boiling water, two cupfuls of sugar, one-third cupful of cold water, two-thirds-inch piece of stick cinnamon, twelve whole cloves, four allspice berries and a grain of salt. Silly and core apples. Add to cranberries with boiling water and let boil until berries are sort. Rub through a sieve, add remaining ingredients, except salt, and bring to boiling point and simmer fifteen minutes. Add salt, turn into mold and chill. Jealoucy. Jealoucy will not listen to reason because it doesn't boil; there is such a thing—Chicago News. --- CALUMET DROPS XMAS FESTIVITIES Seventy-two Were. Killed in Fire Panic at Celebration. STAMPEDED BY FALSE CRY The Exit Stairways Were Crooked With Dead, Over Whom Others Trampled Way to Safety. Because of the appalling loss of life in the panic following an abusive cry of "Fire" at a Christmas celebration in Calumet, Mich. on Wednesday night, nearly all the Christmas trees in the city have been destroyed out of respect to the childless times. The citizens are respondingponely to the appeals for financial aid for the families of the stricken. It developed that only a few of the families which were suffer'd by the movement are able to bury their dead. Mr. Moyer, president of the Western Federation of Miners, asserted that the organization will destroy the expenses of the funerals. Twenty-one girls, twenty-five women, twenty-one boys and five men, a total of seventy two persons, is the correlated list of the dead. The celebration was held for the children of the striking copper miners Paradise beat on lynchings are searching the city until to end for the man who raised the firery. A Mrs. Caesar, who solved an as he shouted the fatal word, has given an excellent description of the man. The city is in a state bordering on marchy over the appalling disaster. The miners, embittered by their long struggle and pointless condition as a result, are desperate, especially those who lost relatives in the panic. The authorities are mytilized over the action of the stranger in raiding the cry of fire. There was not a suggestion of fire in or near the building. The police believe him to be a madman, or else to have been too drunk to realize what he was doing. The exercises of the happiest evening the mining town has known for months wipe in full swing, and hundreds of miners and their wives were looking on as the children pressed eagerly toward the stage to receive Christmas presents. At that instant an unidentified man ran up the stairs and cried "Fire!" in at the open doorway. Immediately there was a rush for the stairways, men, women and children swarming down the steps and piling up half way down and at the bottom. Little children who could not go fast enough to get out of the way of those coming behind were crushed and smothered beneath the weight piling down upon them. The majority were smothered to death. The outside door was opened by passersby, but the children and women were so solidly packed at the bottom of the stairs and halfway to the top of the single flight that they could not be pulled out. In the meantime others, within the building poured over the bodies of the crushed and lifeless at the bottom of the stairs, using them as a roadway to escape from the building. So solidly were the bodies at the bottom of the stairs packed that it was necessary for the firemen and deputy sheriffs to go in the second-story windows with holders and come down the stairs and pull the children back off the pile at the bottom. --- Save Girl From "White Slaves" Publicity given by the newspaper to the disappearance last Tuesday of Geneva Muriel Woodlin, fourteen years old, the pretty daughter of a photographer of Roanoke, Va., saved her from the clutches of two men, gipped by the detectives to be the agents of a white slave syriacite, who met her in Philadelphia and wanted to hire her to Boston under promise of marriage. The girl was found in a hotel near Eleventh and Market streets by Walters and O'Connor, detectives. She was taken to the city hall, and there she met her father, and after begging his forgiveness, started to her home in Roanoke, a sorry girl. Genova is attractive, and seeing photographs of actresses in her father's studio she believed that the life on the stage was the one she wanted to follow. She left home on Tuesday, and went as far as Baltimore. When her father discovered her absence he went to Baltimore. There he displayed the photograph of the girl to every newboy he met and finally, through one of the ladies, he learned that the girl had gone to Philadelphia. She became hysterical when the detectives found her. Storm Sweeps Jersey Coast Three men were swept to death and damage estimated at $500,000 was caused by a gale that swept along the New Jersey coast at a rate of ninety miles an hour, hurling the sea upon the land like a tidal wave. Sea Bright felt the full effect of the storm. Homes were shown down or washed away. The lightning plant was put out of commission. Three hundred persons were forced to flee from their homes. While the storm was battering Sea Bright an ocean tragedy was being enacted on the coast of Sea Side, N. J. There two boats were driven, abore. To the mast of one of the vessels three men were clinging. The Forked River lifesaving crew tried desperately to reach the men, but the force of the gale and the vast waves drove them back. The men were seen to drop, one by one, into the boiling sea and disappear. The tug Edgar F. Lukonbach, which left the Delewis Breakwater dast Wednesday with two barges in tow. arrived off Sandy Hook minus the two barges. Her owners fear that the two barges which sank near Forked River were those missing. They had a crew of ten men. Baby Kissed Burping Girl. The charred and almost unrecognizable body of Della Joseph, the three-and-one-half-year-old daughter of Antonio and Delta Joseph, of 206 Street street, Camden, N. J., was found lying on the kitchen floor by notchborks. Beside the body lay the laughing nineteen-month-old brother, Teenny, who was unharmed except that his lips were slightly burned because he had kissed his dying sister. The body of the little girl was so badly burned that there was nothing left on the child except her shoes, and even these were scorned. The baby escaped burning to death in the kitchen, where he is boy young, to tell the horrible accent that must have been enacted in the kitchen of the home while the daughter was slowly emerald. That the house did not catch fire is almost as great a mystery. The mother, who has been separated from her husband for some time, has been in the habit of leaving the children with a neighbor each morning when she left for her work. The neighbor was not up and the woman locked the girl and boy in the kitchen. Cracksmen Tunnel Into Bank. Cracksmen tunneled into feet and pierced the concrete walls of the First National bank, of Groville, near San Francisco, vault some time between closing time Saturday and Monday morning. They obtained $100 in silver, but were unable to blow the steel coin safe, which held a much larger amount of gold and currency. The news was telephoned by W. W. Gingles, the cashier. The robbers worked from the cellar of a building occupied only when lodge meetings were held at night. Twins Born Face to Face. "Slimness" twin girls, a month old, who are joined face to face by a strip of flesh more than an inch thick between their stomachs, have been taken to Paris, France, to be separated by a surgical operation. A radiograph examination suggests that the twins have no vital organs in common. They are so vitrious that they have been clothed in woolen vests inside which their arms are imprisoned to prevent possible injury to one or the other their movements. --- Frozen to Death Near Reading. Enveloped in a blanket of snow, the body of Edwin Yerger, alkythree years old, was discovered along the road leading from Mount Penn to Car- carolina Mountain, where he was Wentzell, Jr., whose father had employed Yerger at various times. Coun- ty Detective George C. Struart lay- gestated the death. There were no evidences of foul play, and it is thought that his death was caused by exposure. Militanta' Toll Heavy The militant suffragettes in London are chuckling over the figures just published relating to the damage done to property by followers of Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst during 1913. The value of the property destroyed is put at $25,000,000. It is probable that some portion of this, through attributed to militants, should properly be credited to inscrariaries, who have covered their tracks by scattering suffragette literature in the neighborhood of fires. Uncle of President Wilson Deart Henry W. Woodrow, an uncle of President Wilson, died suddenly at his home in Chillicothe, Ohio. Mr. Woodrow was a lawyer and was prominent in business and financial affairs in Chillicothe. Exotecan Kills Nineteen. Nineteen persons were killed and eighteen seriously injured by an explosion in the fireworks factory at Terra Annumata, near Naples, Italy. Women Centenarian Dept.

BOWSER'S BOUNTY BUT, ALAS, HIS MOOD CHANGES Mrs. B. Spoile a Psychological Memor That Premised Poemary Enrich ment and Learns a Lesson in Diplomacy. By M. QUAD. [Copyright, 1913, by Associated Literary Press.] "B Y the way," said Mr. Bower as he looked up from his paper, "have you heard from BY the way," said Mr. Bowser, as he looked up from his paper, "have you heard from your mother lately?" "Had a letter yesterday," replied Mrs. Bowser, "and she asked to be remembered to you." "Dear old soul! I think as much of her as I do of my own mother. I'll give you $10 tomorrow to buy a nice little present for her. Is your father well?" "Not very. He's very old, you know." "Poor old daddy! There was never a alice man in all the world. I'll give you $10 to buy something for him as well." "You are awfully kind," said Mrs. Bowser as she shed a tear. "Everybody ought to do what is right. I was thinking this afternoon that I cut you pretty close on money matters. I suppose I ought to make you a regular weekly allowance." "I it's awfully sweet and kind of you." "No taffy, my deaf!" laughed Mr. Bowser. "I was going to say $5 per week, but I guess I'll make it $10. If that won't do you let me know later on and I'll make it $15 or $20." Mrs. Bowser Ventures In his good nature Mr. Bowser whistled a merry air and stroked the family cat and planned with bliss to buy Mr. Bowser. He was a $100 cost as a surprise. He was growing real frolicsome when she ventured: "Had you just as soon look over three or four little bills which have come in during the week?" "Billa" echoed Mr. Bowser as his whistle cut short off and he called the TO GET EVEN. cat off his knee. "I always pay cash on this trip. I don't know anything about bills." Clouds on the Horizon. "You--you didn't happen to have the change, and you told me to go ahead. A water pipe burst one day, you know, and you told me to send for the plumber. Here is his bill. I'm sure it's a very reasonable one." "Two dollars, eh? Two dollars for plugging up a pinhole tank in a water pipe? Do this thicker imagine it a fool or a limp? I'll never pay it this side of the grave! What else?" "You told me to get the doorbell fixed, and the bill is $1." "Doorbell? I told you? Never! If the doorbell was out of order then it was because you stood there and snubbed and pulled and yanked on it and finally got it out by the roots. You'll pay that bill out of your own pocket." "And, I had a broken window pane in the kitchen replaced?" said Mrs. Bowser. "The bill is only $90 cents." "Eighty cents!" shouted Mr. Bowser. "Eighty cents. for a small pane of glass. Men. Bowser? The cook probably got mad because I found fault with the coffee and stood before the window and deliberately kicked out a pane of glass to get even. I'll keep it out of her wagon." "You know I told you that the lock on the basement door was out of order." "Never! Never heard the slightest allusion to it." "And you said I should send for a locksmith." "Never! Never." "And the bill is 40 cents." "Forty cents! Forty cents for two minutes! work! And if that lock was out of order how came it so? Did that cook, in order to get even with me again, stand there with a crowbar and whack and jab and pound until she broke the lock? That's 40 cents more out of her wages! Are these all?" "Yes. If you don't feel like paying them I'll do it out of my weekly allowance. The whole thing only amounts to $4,20." Bank Preumptien. "Your weekly allowance? be repeated. M. Bowser, have you a weekly allowance from a royalty or an estate?" "You said you give me one, you know." "Never! If I said anything at all something the subject it was to the effect that if you had an allowance you'd pay a dollar a pound for manure." "Then you can send mother 85 and pay these bills with the rest." she suggested. "Mother! Five dollars! You may or may not have a mother, Mrs. Bowser. I do not know or care. But why should I meet her 85?" "You can send you would." PHOTOS. We offer you the Least and Most Artistic Photos, at a Minimum Price than you can obtain elsewhere.

MAGIC SHAMPOO DRIER COMPANY, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA "Never. It has never occurred to me in the last fifteen years to ask if you had parents or were an orphan. It seems you've got a mother and want me to send her for a week on top of all the waste and extravagance. It is high time that we send and ask ourselves whether we are drifting. Every night for the last month I have dreamed that we were on the way to the poorhouse." "I had planned to spend a plebsant evening with you." "Even as I was thinking of buying you a costly present as a surprise you—you—" "I handed you these bills." Interrupted Mrs. Bowser. "I said I would pay them out of my own pocket." Fighting For Principle. "Yes, you handed me those bills. I do not complain of that. I do not complain of the amount, which is insignificant. What I want you to understand, is that there is a great under-underlying principle in this matter. "Mrs. Bowser," he went on as his thumbw went up to the sinuous of his feet. "it is needless to say more on the subject. If you cannot discern the great underlying principle talk is idle. I will retire to my library, and should any one call you can say that I am busy—very, very busy—and that it is quite likely you may shortly go home to see your mother. Good night. Mr. Bowser; good night." Mrs. Bowser at there for an hour and tried to figure it out, and the nearest she could come to it was: Never present a bill to your husband when he's good natured. Walt until he's "off" and the bliss can't make him much "offer." That Was Goin' To Far The fellow who tells unbelievable stories came into the office the other day and started in to talk.

Three youngsters playing near the Hudson Boulevard and Tenth street, West New York, picked up a small pasteboard box. One of them was on the point of opening it, when another who had started a bonfire, exclaimed: "Chuck it on the fire; let's see it burn." So the boy who was about to open the box "chucked" it on the fire and one end began to blaze morrily. "Hey!" yelled one of the youngsters suddenly. "Listen! Something's in the box." They all listened, and a motherbed wall could be heard distinctly above the crackle of the flames. One of the boys made a dive for the burning box and hauled it out of the fire. Putting out the flames, the boys snatched off the lid of the box, and there was disclosed to the youngster's astonished gaze a two-weeks-old baby boy, alive and kicking. The lads ran with their find to a grocery store on the corner and the grocer telephoned to the North Hudson hospital. An ambulance took the baby to the hospital, and there the doctor said that the baby stood a good chance of living. It was not touched by the flames. Hymn Sings Fire Panic A fire horror was narrowly averted at a Sunday school entertainment in the United Evangelical church at Croswell, ten miles from Lancaster, Pa. The gasoline lights in the building exploded, and the hundreds in the church at the time made a rush for the doors. It was in the midst of the services, in charge of Rev. Hagner, that there was a flutter of light, and it exploded with a crush, the fire flying in every direction. In an instant there was a panic, everybody rushed for the doors and confusion reigned in the darkness. Rev. Hagner rushed to the pulpit, and with a loud admonition that there was no danger started to sing. The organist caught the refrain and the choir took up the hymn, and as the soothing air, "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," waited over the crowd the excitement subsided and all moved out with a semblance of order. Sherif Folla Lynchers Closely guarded by deputy sheriff, Thomas Ellis was brought to jail. In Charleston, W. Va., charged with the murder of his wife Christmas night. They had quarreled, according to the authorities, and while the woman was asleep Ellis is alleged to have placed a quantity of blasting powder in the middle of the floor of their mountain cabin near Winifred, W. Va., and exploded it with a nausea. The explosion, which tore the cabin to pieces, aroused the settlement and Ellis was captured. Officers secreted him in a coral mine during the night to prevent his infuriated neighbors from lynching him. Train Kills Three Boys at Hammonton, near Camden, N. J. They were Milton Dilger, seventeen years old; Emile Dunkle, thirteen, and Clifford Oll, nine years old. They were driving over the Atlantic railroad crossing at Eleventh street in an express wagon when their ve- hicle was struck by a passenger train. The horse was killed and the wagon, which was filled with Christmas par- cel, was demolished. The boys were dead when picked up. They all lived in Hammonton.

Fighting has been resumed between Mexican Federalists and the Constitutionalists at Ojinaga, opposite Predio, Texas. The rebels advanced upon the Federal trenches, where the remnant of Huerta's army in northern Mexico had taken refuge after a disastrous defeat in the first onset. A denoultary fire opened by the rebels indicated that the rebel forces intended to push the fight right into the Federal stronghold and make the conflict decisive. The Federalists had retreated to the innermost trenches, apparently without hope of repulsing the attacking force. Only a few shots came from the Huerta lines in the early stages of the fighting. As viewed, from the American side the situation of the Federals seemed desperate, as they had no ground for further retreat. General Ortega, commanding the Constitutionalists, has received orders to execute summarily Generals Salazar, Orosco; Rojas and Alanis, commanding volunteers. In the darkness many of the terrified Federals crossed the Río Grande to the American side, but all, except the badly wounded were forced by the United States troops to return into Mexico. The final rout was preceded by a three-hour battle, begun after dark, in which the rebels, marching through the deep canyons south of Ojiniga, completely wiped out the Federal outposts. The news of the defeat at La Mula Pass and La Mulato, giving the rebels an unobstructed pass, to within firing distance of Ojinaga itself, caused a frenztied retreat among the Federal. Dazed and demoralized by this disheartening encounter, eleven Mexican Federal, generals and the remnant of their army crouched in the trenches of Ojinaga, uncertain whether they should put up a resistance against another attack or scatter in disorder. In the village were all that remained of the northern division of Huerta's army. About them on the hills was the advance guard of General Ortega's rebel army, and still further back were more rebels. After Monday night's rout, when many terrified soldiers crossed to the American side or were shot dead for mutiny at their officers' feet, on the Mexican side, the Federals apparently were in no position to maintain a fighting front. Upon the ability of the generals to rally their soldiers will depend whether the Huerta army is to keep or lose its Just remaining foothold in the northern part of Mexico. Meanwhile the United States troops on the American side of the river were scouting the border for any Federals who might have crossed in the night and to check any general rush across the river, as seemed imminent, when, during the panic in the garrison at Ojinaga, about 500 Federals, carrying their guns, jumped into the river to seek safety on the American side. Of this number at least 400 were driven back before they got out of the water. One hundred Federal soldiers were found on the American side six miles down the river. They still had their arms. Major McNamee, immediately disarmed them, marched them to Presidio and forced them back to the Mexican side. The badly wounded were the only ones allowed to remain on the American side and these were cared for by Dr. Bursalso, of the United States army. The number killed on both sides was small, but many were reported wounded. "JOKE" STARTS RUN ON BANK Notice Sold Institution Would "Close Doors" on Jan. 1; "The Ridgeway National bank will close it doors on Jan. 1." This notice, posted on the bank's door, in Ridgeway, Pa., it is said, by a practical joker, started a run on the bank which caused the withdrawal of more than $10,000 within an hour. The depositors were ankry when their attention was called to the fact that Jan. 1 is a holiday.

After Talk With Villa Advocates Intervention in Mexico. 1 Intervention in Mexico was advocated by Senator Catron, of New Mexico, who has just returned from an investigation of conditions across the border, during which he personally interviewed Francisco Villa, leader of the rebel, "Our government does not want to intervene, but such practices make intervention probable," the senator told Villa. SCHMIDT JURY FAILS TO AGREE Said to Have Slood Ten to Two For Conviction. The jury which tried Hans Schmidt for the murder of Anna Aumuller in New York has failed to agree. After the jury had deliberated for thirty-two hours and forty-four minutes and had failed to unite in a conclusion, Judge Foster decided that it was hopeless. He discharged the jury and remanded Schmidt back to the Tombs. Schmidt maintained the same attitude he has displayed all through the trial and through the exciting moments, when time after time the jury filed into the box, there was suspense born of an expected verdict, only to be dispelled by the words of the foreman: "We still fall to agree." The discredited priest sat straight in his chair, his narrow shoulders garbed in a scraggy furled over coat, and with his long hair and unkempt beard touched about his head. He turned neither to right nor left; his eyes remained on Judge Foster. When the jury had been discharged Schmidt followed his attendant from the room, walking quickly and lightly. No emotion was discernible on his thin face. It is understood that ten of the jury men wanted to convict, and that two, William A. McAuliffe and John Grivich, doubted Schmidt's sanity and wanted to acquit him on the ground of insanity. MISSING 15 YEARS: RETURNS Mother Faints as Wilbur Lawson Takes Vacant Seat at Table. Separated from his family for more than fifteen years and supposed to be dead, Wilmur Lawson arrived in Guimoro, Del, from Mexico just in time to walk into the old homestead and take his place at the dinner table. His mother fainted from the shock of his sudden appearance. After arriving at the house he peeled into the lighted, room and saw that the family was just ready to sit down to a late supper. He noticed one chair and plate where no one was sitting, and without a word opened the door and took the vacant place. His mother immediately recognized him and almost fainted from joy, while the rest of the family swarmed around him with shouts of joy and hand-shakes. Lawson left home when a lad and after roaming all around this country finally found his way to Mexico, where he became identified with some silver mines. It was during the present out break in Mexico that he decided to return to his home.

The presentments did not include Jarvis Hyndson, another negro, who is strongly suspected of implication in the murder. He is being held with two other negroes as witnesses. Meanwhile Cheetertown is in a state of great excitement over the avowed intention of the court to seek out the leaders of the mob that stormed the jail on Saturday night and Sunday morning in an attempt to lynch the five negro suspects who were confined there. Judge Constable, in charging the grand jury in the cases of the negroes, not only said that it was his intention to see that the prisoners received a fair trial, but informed the jurors that it was their duty to sift to the bottom the attack on the jail and return indictments against all who could be implicated, regardless of their standing in the community. These remarks came as a great surprise to the throng which filled the courtroom. Men gazed from one to another, but not a sound was made, as every word was grasped as it left the lips of the jurist. State's Attorney Harrison W. Vickers has declared that the mob was composed of a bunch of hoodlums, but citizens who witnessed the storming of the jail can name the sons of some of the most prominent men of the county. "The majesty of the law must be upheld," said Judge Constable in his charge, "and it is the duty and most earnest obligation of you men to find out who participated in the breaking into the jail last Sunday morning and to indict every one, regardless of who they are." The assault upon W. A. Dadda, a grocer, by three negroes aroused the crowds again to a wild spirit of indignation, although one nogro is locked safely in jail and warrants have been issued for the other two. Dadda was in his store, when George Deoma and his two sons, George and William Deems, entered and started an argument. The negro passed the ugly word and Dadda demanded an apology. Suddenly the three negroes attacked Dadda. Articles were thrown through his windows and Dadda was knocked to the ground. During the fray one of the negroes bit a deep gash in Dadda's ear, while another struck him in the head with a brick. The negroes made their escape, but later the older man was arrested. The scene of the assault was at Santiago, a negro settlement west of Chastertown. There are few white persons who live in that vicinity, but the indignation of these fow was soon manifested. When news of the assault reached Chestertown the lre of many other whifes was aroused. No effort was made to get the negro, however, because of the heavy guard of Baltimore policemen at the jail. KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT Man Crushed to Death and Two Injured When Motor Overturns United States Senator Willard Saulsbury, of Delaware, probably saved the lives of a woman and child, although the husband was killed in an auto accident at Farnhurst, a few miles from Willington, Del.

To the Richmond PLANET: Homestead, Pa., Jan. 1.—The new finds me mollest, having spent a happy Christmas. A more pleasant time I have not witnessed in 25 years or since entering the ministry, more than forty years ago. My people remembered me in a good substantial way. Besides other blessings that came to me unexpectedly, but thankfully received. God has smiled upon me ever since my lot was cast in this state and town of Homestead, Pa. So much so, that I have never greeted anyone I love for a day of 12 hours. I love my native state and have many dear friends there in both races, many of whom I would be glad to meet before departing this life. Yet I feel as did Joseph. God sent me here for a great purpose, even to save life. I bear no ill will against those who thought to do me harm. God turned it into a great blessing both to me and my people. My heart is better. My burdens are heavier and more easily faced greater and my future prospect just as good as when in the State of Virginia and in the city of Roanoke. I have been in this state nine years and have been elected President of the Ministers' Conference six years and this is no small honor when you remember that the Pittsburgh Baptist Ministers' Conference stands second to none, North or South in numbers and is composed of some of the strongest and most intellectual Christian men that are to be found in the Baptist ranks any where. Hoping all who read these notes a Happy New Year and with more to follow. I remain, Yours, R. R. JONES. Box 206, Homestead, Pa. Staunton (Va.) News. Staunton, Va., January 5, 1914. Mr. Editor: You will grant us space in your columns to summarize our church work for the last two years. To say that all branches of our church work and services have been and continue to be marvelous, is expressing it mildly. The wonderful progress that has been made under the leadership of Rev. C. Austin marks him as a wonderful preacher, commissioned by God. From the beginning of his ministry here to the present time he has been sustained and is sustained by the unawerving Christian loyalty of Mt. Zion's congregation, and by the respect and confidence of the people of Staunton at large. And this popularity has been deservedly won by the continuous battle for civil, social and Christian betterment and righteousness. The growth of the church has been commensurate with his wonderful resources for Christian service. Those of us whom he found within the fold and the hundreds who have come in hither during his charges, here, have with practically unanimity proved themselves worthy of the Christian spirit, love and service that they have espoused. To the leadership and preaching of Dr. Austin we cling with a devotion born of zealous reverence. During his pastorate here of two years over improvements have been added to the church. Ten thousand, two hundred and eighty dollars in cash has been raised. At all times and in all the church's activities, Dr. Austin's personality is in the lead. In prayer meeting to inspire, Sunday School to teach: B. Y. E. U. to propound; in social life to edify and in our civil public life to give prestige; and thus the Doctor is at once a preacher, pastor, evangelist, human minister, missionary, may well challenge comparison with the demonization's worthiest with the demonization's sons. The close of the year 'finds our devoted Dr. Rev. D. J. C. Austin, D. D. the "peerless one" in these regions, the recipient of stupendous surprise parties, and a unanimous vote of Christian confidence—on watch meeting night, December 31, 1913. He now has our benediction and fervent prayer and high expectation in the revival efforts that now engage our society. The above sentiments we predicate as that of all the right thinking folks of this community—ordered as the printed expression of the unanimous testimonial of confidence and wishes of God-speed of the church in watch-meeting and by order of Deacon Board. J. H. BECKS, Church Secretary and Editor. 24 Tams Street, Staunton, Va. P. S.—In above receipts are not included those raised by Sunday School, B. Y. P. u., prayer meetings, for sick and needy, after collections, etc. J. H. B. Y. M. C. A. Notes. The boys of the Y. M. C. A. under the directions of Committeeman B. L. Allen led a surprise on the children of the Friends Arylum. All were happy. 4 P. M. the Women's Auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A. led a surprise on the inmates of the City Home. It was a happy hour with everybody. The opening of the second evangelical liturgy at the Second Baptist Church, 2:30 P. M. for the men, was a great success. The address by Mr. H. O. Williams was a great hit. Every man was helped. The music by the choir of the church under the directions of Director Thomas M. Crump gave much life to the meeting. The men were happy to have Dr. Z.

The executive committee of the Union Pacific Railroad company announced in New York city that it would recommend the distribution among its stockholders of the Baltimore & Ohio stock owned by the company, par value $2,000,000, together with $3 per share in cash. The executive committee will law this recommendation before the board of directors. It recommends also that if this distribution is carried into effect the regular annual dividend be correspondingly reduced, that is, from 10 per cent to 8 per cent.

The company's statement follows: "The executive committee decided to recommend to the board of directors, which meets on Thursday, to distribute among the holders-of the common stock of the Union Pacific Railroad company the Baltimore & Ohio stock owned by it, together with $3 per share in cash. "It is proposed to distribute to the holder of each share of Union Pacific common $12 per value, in Baltimore & Ohio preferred, now yielding at 4 per cent 48 cents; and $2.50, par value, in Baltimore & Ohio common, now yielding at 6 per cent $1.35, and $3 in cash, say at 6 per cent per annum, 18 cents, or a total of $2.01. "The executive committee also recommends that if this is carried into effect the regular annual dividend be correspondingly reduced—that is, from 10 per cent to 8 per cent per annum."

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. 5 MORE SAVED OF TANKER'S CREW Men Found in Lifeboat Were All Left of. Eleven, Six Drowning Before Help Could Reach Them. The Booth line ship Gregory arrived at New York, bringing five survivors of the oil tanker Oklahoma, which backled and broke in two off Sandy Hook lightship early on Sunday morning. These men were snatched out of the sea Sunday afternoon, and to do this the first, second and third officers of the Gregory dived over the rail with their storm clothes on and grabbed two of the five as they were floating past in the heavy sea then running, grabbbed a third who died as he reached safety, and towed the other three closing to their capized lifeboat within reach of the life lines. The fye men thus savod, added to the eight who will arrive in Boston on the Hamburg-American liner Bavaria, make thirteen human beings accounted for out of the crew of forty of the oil tank steampain of the Gulf Refining company which, left New York on Saturday for Port Arthur, Texas. Hope that eight more of the Oklahoma's crew had escaped in an open boat was abandoned when a wireless message was received from the captain of the United States revenue cutter Seneca to the effect that one of the sunken vessels' boats had been picked up with three bodies in it. The rescued men on the Gregory told a thrilling story of their experience. For six hours after leaving the Oklahoma in a lifeboat they were tossed about on the crests of the waves and the boat time after time was nearly swamped by the gigantic sea. These survivors revealed for the first time how the disaster actually occurred. The five men were together when a terrific, wave crashed into the Oklahoma amphibians Sunday morning, breaking her back. The after part of the ship had partially broken away at a bulkhead and was slaggering drunk only in the terrific swell. Other members of the crew came running up and two lifeboats were swung overboard. "In the first boat were eleven men. The second boat was full. The boats parted, and those in the first boat, including the five who were saved, worked desperately to keep their craft from going under. Just as the Gregory came in sight at 130 o'clock in the afternoon a wave overturned the first boat. It was righted with difficulty, because the men were nearly perished with cold. A second and third time waves rolled the boat over. Six of the men were unable to cling to the craft and sank to their death, and the other five were picked up a short time afterward. When it was seen that the fight was proving too much for the men Roberts, Second Officer Williams and Chief Officer Robert H. Buck tied ropes about some of the men. The into the sea to aid those struggling in the water. They helped to get rope sabout some of the men. The five saved were placed in the ship's hospital. COAL TAX BLAMED FOR PRICE Complaints Reach McReynolds That Public Has Illegal Burden. Complaints to Attorney General McReynolds from several eastern cities that the price of hard coal is soaring, allegue that the Pennsylvania state tax on every ton of anthracite mined within its borders is responsible. The department of justice has been asked to assail the Pennsylvania law on the ground that it is unconstitutional. In answer to letters suggesting such a course the attorney general replied that it is highly probable that sooner or later some individual will bring suit to test the law, and that if the department finds it advisable it may intervene. The Pennsylvania state tax is 2½ per cent of the cost of mining each ton, and it is estimated that the state will raise nearly $5,000,000 annually from that source. According to the attorney general the Pennsylvania mining companies have charged the full tax to the retailers, and they in turn have passed it on to the consumer. 64.
