C., at the point where the murder was committed. A crowd of nearly 1,000 men and women crowded about a storehouse from which he was dragged out and swung from a tree limb. Making signs he wanted to speak, he was lot down and implicated in the murder of colored man named Surdner now under arrest at Wendell. He was swung up again and his body riddled with bullets. Wilson was caught last night between Selma and Warawat. He is said to have made a partial confession this morning at Selma. A big crowd there demanded he be taken to the scene of his crime. Governor Craig was tophoned and ordered the Ridgely militia company to Wendell. Twenty-nine soldiers in automobiles wont, but when in half a mile the scene, learned the lynching was over.

Washington, Jan.' 23rd. *Susan Vardaman of Mississippi*, President Wilson and Attorney General Mc*Reynolds to-day seem on the point of a split, as the result of the Senator's project to the president at the renomination of Robert R. Terrell, counsel for the president, Court of the District of Columbia. It is understood McKeynolds endorsed Terrell. Senator Vardaman told President Wilson: "I shall be compelled to oppose the confirmation of any colored man. I am sorry to differ with the President with regard to the Terrell man and the believer in the colored man and the white man who together on terms of political equality in this country. The Colored Sanker. Our white friends can boast of their Sankey and Moody, Glipay Smith Billy Sunday, Alexander and Chapman and other noted Evangelists, but we, as the Negroes, can boast of our own Sankey and Moody, two in one, the person of the Rev. W. H. Skillman, W. H. Skillman, national Preacher and Singing Evangelist. This young soul-winner for Christ captivates Audiences wherever he goes. In 1910 he sang so in Edinburg, Scotland, in the Temple in which Messra Sankey and Moody held their first meeting until polioceme were brought in off the streets to witness the power of the Holy Ghost in the lives of men and women and children through the power of songs. In London, he sang and preached so until preachers and people cried out, saying, "Don't let him stop." In Nashville, Teen, September last at our National Baptist Convention he sang so until strong men wept and women lost full control of themselves. He conducted one hour and a half of song services for the Woman's Auxiliary to the National Convention and the audience was so elated at the arrival of Mrs. Merv Linton, the President, had great difficulty in getting order after he had concluded to introduce Dr. C. T. Walker, the speaker of the erasing. He is really the best known young Evangelist of our race and denomination and his engagements are Ave and eight months in advance. Rev. Skipwith has served some of the best and largest churches of this country, both white and colored, and we predict for the pastor and people of any church, who may be fortunate enough to get him, as awakening that don't always come in a revival. The beauty of his preaching is, practical and convincing. He knows what to say and how to say it. The beauty of his singing is, he knows how to sing, and how to make you sing, and then he can sing anything. Therefore to wear the title of a Evangelist of our race means much and much more than what it can be the other race, as the single SENTENCED TO DIE FOR KILLING COLORED MAN. Judge Richardson Tells Walter Roy That He Cannot Escape Penalty. Walter Boyd, colored, was convicted of first degree murder in the Hustings Court, yesterday, and was sentenced to death by Judge Richardson. Boyd shot and killed Benjamin Franklin, also colored, on December 13. The two men quarreled over a woman, and Boyd went to Franklin's house and shot him in the back as he fled down the street. The convicted man was defended by Alfred Kirch and Frank G. Louathan, who were appointed by the court. They made a motion to set aside the verdict as contrary to the law and evidence, which the court overruled. In sentencing the Negro to death March 21, Judge Richardson told him that he had been found by the law allowed had been done for him, but that it was the plainest case of wilful murder he had ever seen. "And now you must begin from this moment to make your peace with God." Judge Richardson said. "There is practically no hope for you here on earth, and I command you to your Heavenly-Judge. May God have mercy on your soul." Boyd stood unmoved. It was the first time that Judge Richardson had ever sentenced a man to death.—Times Dispatch, January 28. Acesburg (Va.) Briefs. Mrs. Johun G.

The services are being attended now better than any time previous during the civilization of Rovio. We also beginning to believe that he is the man God sent to this people. "The people, sometimes, do not want God's man, and God, sometimes, does not want the people's man." If God makes the appointment the man can and will stay until God and the man decide for him to go. This vicinity has been stirred for the last four weeks owing to the recent murder cases near here. Four weeks ago one colored man in Cumberland was shot to death at an entertainment in the school house. A few days later a white man in the same county killed a colored man. Later he too man beat and shot to death a colored man. Just the other day in the Stokes' family one brother shot the other three times and he is dead. These were colored. Mr. "Rambler"'s prediction is coming to pass. The white man who killed the colored man is walking around. The two-white man who shot the other man is at large. The colored murderers are in prison.

(Allen's National-News Bureau.) Your correspondent has just received his appointment as Inventor in the Okoloko Industrial School at Okoloko, Mississippi of which Prof. Wallace Battle is the President. After a conference with Prof. Battle in this city Sunday relative to the matter, plans were carefully gone over, after which I was added to the teaching staff of the school. Your correspondent will take up duties at the next school year, October first, and will enter fully into the spirit of the work. It has always been the desire of your correspondent to take up work in the South of an educational nature believing that in that section the greatest good could be accomplished for the uplift of the race, and that, that section offered the largest possibilities for service. The appointment to this new work in the South of Oklahoma commenced ambition, an opportunity will be offered to put into vogue many new plans gathered from my educational experience in the North. The Okolona Industrial School is one of the strongest educational centers in the South, and is welding wide influence in that particular section of the country where it is located. For miles around the institution radiates its influence and is inspiring a large number of young men and women with yearly achievement. The institution was founded about twelve years ago, and it has since had a steady growth until today it has a steady enrollment of over 300 earnest students who come from five different states. The school is located on 350 acres of land in a section of Mississippi where the land is fertile and rich. The school has six well equipped buildings with ample facilities for doing effective school work. The faculty represents 28 solo instructors representation of the best schools of the country, and who are devoting their lives to the uplift of the young. Prof. Battle, the president of the school, is one of the oldest educators of the race and a young man of solid character and fitness. He is well prepared for his educational career, and by effort and sheer ability he has built up in Mistassin one of the most creditable institutions in the Southland. He constantly on the alert for good material and he is surrounding himself with an earnest body of workers. The leading educational authorlite who have visited the school speak in the highest praise and commendation of the work that Prof. Battle is doing. When soon last week in this city by your correspondent Prof. Battle was on his annual Northern tour for the school and he is well known in this section.

While in the South your correspondent will still keep his relationship with the colored press. In connection with your correspondent's duties as instructor he will edit the Mississippi Lotter, a publication published in connection with life at Okolaona. A. YOUNG COLORED INVENTOR. Perhaps one of the most successful inventors of the race from a material standpoint aid one who has attracted much attention is G. A. Morgan who residues in Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Morgan has given everything he has to the inventor, his helmet which enables persons in the case of fire and smoke to escape without harm. The helmet which is a device arranged to go over the head, affords the person wearing the device safety from becoming choked from smoke or suffocating. The device has been found to be of incalculable service for firemen who are forced to stay in close room during fires. Mr. Morgan has demonstrated the device in the departments of the leading cities of the East and West with eminent success and most of the fire departments have adopted the scheme. The leading daily news papers of this city in which Mr. Morgan has appeared have spoken of the invention as a Twentieth Century Marvel. Among the states to adopt the device by the fire departments are cities in Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and the following cities in New York State, Rochester, Buffalo, Utica, Rome and Niagara, in this city demonstrating before the fire department and he was well received. The mother is under advice most, and it is believed that the scheme will be adopted here. Mr. Morgan is a hard-working and earnest young man and represents that clerk of young man who does things not asked by the college. He was born in Paris, Kentucky. 75 cents a week. In 1892 he went to Cincinnati, Ohio and after a hard battle in that city he went to Cleveland, Ohio where he has since resided.

Realizing that only three fleeting months and seventeen days will bring us together at the time and place of our reunion, we will host bout ourselves. As your servant, we appeal to you for big things and that is because you are big people, engaged in a big cause. We ask that ten of our men of means will give us $100 each: Dean Humbles destroys company for the $100 which he has so generously pledged. We ask for fifty persons to individually give us fifty dollars. And I am thankful to say that several hetheon have already pledged $5.00 each, among whom is myself. And we pray for a hundred persons to give us $25 each. This can be done and I hope it will be done. We appeal to our strongest church to give from $100 to $200 besides the larger pledges of individual members. And we pray that the smaller churches will do their best in proportion to strength and ability. We are anxious for a large number of churches that have our pledges presented in the State Convention to represent this year. We also hope that every church that believes in the things for which the Convention stands that has ever represented will be in Roanoke either by letter or delegate. The members and friends of the Convention have been reckoned in the following divisions: The Invitables, who will give one-tenth or more of one month's income; the Immortals, who will give one dollar or more each; and the Faithfuls, who will give all possible under one dollar. And we ask that our doctors, druggists, dentists and lawyers, of Virginia will as a whole give $100; that our teachers give $1000; that our friends of the New England Convention territory give $500; and we appeal to our Pennsylvania friends for $1200; and to Washington friends for $600; and the non-ministerial graduates and under-graduates of the University of Virginia Seminary for $1500 and I am sure that the pastors, deacons, and churches of our state will do the rest to realize the much needed $10,000. We have sent five hundred appeals out for pledges, as we want the amount asked for pledged in the next few weeks. We shall send out several hundred more appeals. Will you kindly re respond to these appeals? And if our formal appeal does not reach you, please, accept this one as sufficient and send in your pledge and if you are a pastor, you church's pledge, as soon as possible. Thanking you in advance, I am yours for the work. A. A. GALVIN, President Va. Bapt. State Convention Hon' Harry S.

THE WHIP An Exciting Tale of Love and Adventure Founded on the Great Play of the Same Name Copyright, 1912 by Cecil Ralstigh and Hamilton by arrangement with the Drury Lane Company of America and Arthur Collins, managing director of the Drury Lane theater of London. SYNOPSIS Lady Diana, debarred from seeing a trial of The Whip, meets a handsome amateur artist near Lord Brancaster's catafate. "He goes away with a strange dark woman whom Lady Di instinctively dislikes Mrs. Beaumish is seals of Tom Lambert. The Whip's trainer." Captain Sartoris, Lady Di's cousin, has an intrigue with Myrtle Amon, sister of Jockey Harry Anson. Sartoris seeks more stable information about The Whip. Lord Brancaster, the artist, is injured in an automobile accident. The strange woman, Mrs. D'Aquila, visits his beside Lady Di rejects Sartoris. Jockey Anson, suspected of selling stable secrets about The Whip, learns that his own sister, Myrtle, is guilty. Lord Brancaster cannot remember the past. Sartoris, who courses Rey, Vernor Haulam, plots a fake marriage between Brancaster and Mrs. D'Aquila. CHAPTER VIII THREE weeks after the hunt breakfast at Palshinhurst had ended so disastrously for Branckster and Lady Diana, Sartoris and Mrs. D'Aquila met in a corridor near the stables at the London horse abow. Sartoris had been making secret signals to the woman in a box with a party of her beholden friends: "Ah, at last!" he exclaimed in relief, burrying to meet her as she came down the corridor. Mrs. D'Aquila glanced to the right and to the left as she walked swiftly along. Her name and face were in every newspaper in the United Kingdom because of the great D'Aquila-Branckster case begun when she started her suit to prove her marriage. "I could not get away from my friends before," she said anxiously, "but I ought not to meet you at all." "I am not sure that 'til ought," returned Sartoris far from teasing at once himself, "with a chance of Boyerley's seeing us, but it is so important, and surely for a moment in public"— "Nowhere," said the woman decisively. "Why?" "Because Bramcastle fights in a final to prove that I am not his wife—his lawyers follow the widest cleavers—if the smallest suspicion. He has me followed by detectives everywhere—dogs—says openly—I've heard it—if I win my case and prove the marriage he'll divorce me on the first chance." "Another divorce?" explained Captain Sartorius, in good natural sattire. "But he shaltn't" she said, setting her teeth together. "Quite so," he returned. "Hegroine of the greatest society scandal of the century. Wife or no wife. Columns in the daily press, pictures in the weekly. Fabulous offers from the music hall syndicates." "And every shilling I possess going to the lawyers" she hamented. "But I'll spend every shilling, raise every shilling, pawn my last diamond-and then I'll starve until they own my Lady Brancaster." "I knew you'd like it," he sighed. "I wish you were Lady Brancaster in all truth." "What do you want?" she naked shortly. "What you owe me, for the title," he said. "Money?" "My name is on a bill that I must meet tomorrow for $3,000. I want a bit of ready money for interest; then with time and the chance of a lucky win—If I could know tonight—I daren't let you go to my rooms or myself to yours. Isn't there some good, safe, neutral站 where no one in the world ever goes a crowdfund?" She redirected a moment. "I have it," she explained. "No one who knows us ever goes there. It's Tusaud's, the wax works. He there at 10 sharp. It closes early." With a word of appreciation for her sharp and nimble wit, Sartoris left her, their engagement made for that night. As they passed by the large door opening into the division of the stables from the arena they had to dodge quickly in order to avoid a fractions horse which was being led from the ring at the order of Lord Clinnmore director of the home show. Upon the back of the horse was sent unsteadily Joe Kelly, king of the bookmaker. As Mrs. D'Aquin passed out and Bartoris stopped to watch Kelly the latter was protesting loudly at being ordered from the ring. Kelly was man fiendly drunk. He dismounted, but only really succeeded in falling from his saddle, after which they led away his horse. Bartoris exchanged a low word or two with Kelly to assure the latter that he didn't think he was drunk. Kelly explained that he had been celebrating a big winning from Lord Bran-caster. He had scarcely mentioned the latter's name when the young earl passed along. "There he is now," blustered Kelly, "Any fancy for a bet today, my lord— City and Sub. Jubilee or the Derby? "No, thank you, Kelly," returned Brancaster. "Two thousand," offered Kelly. "No, thanks." "Come on, now," continued the drunken bookmaker. "Two thousand—any outsider—twenty to one, twenty-five to a monkey. Oh, no fancy? Well, of course, if it is like that I'm sorry. But on Monday—don't forget. I'm here—Joe Kelly—as can buy you and sell you twice over. If you want money here it—only to ask him. Waiting to ```markdown ``` "Any fancy for a bet today, my lord?" oblige; waiting for you, my lord, when ever you've got the brass or the pluck to come along. And the intoxicated Kelly staggered off to find Lord Cinnamore and make once more his protest. From a little table at the side of a bower Lady Diana and Mrs. Beamish had heard Kelly's words. Suddenly the elder woman leaned toward Lady Diana. "Do you believe that he married that woman?" she asked quickly. "No," said Lady Diana decisively. "Then speak to him—speak to him," said the dry voice of the chatterer, with some little tinge of sentiment. It's just what he's breaking his heart for. I'll swear, and I won't look." Though Lady Diana had promised her grandfather, the marquis, to refrain from communicating with the earl, she needed no further urging, but went at once to Braamaster. "Lord Branaster-Hubert," she said in a low voice. At once the earl turned to her. "You, Dll," he exclaimed. "Do you still believe in me?" "Yes, in spite of everything, in spite of everything." And it's because I believe in you that you mustn't lose faith in yourself for you hear me? "God bless you, Dll." "Did you think I'd desert you? Grandad made me promise not to write, but I the time I've been hoping that I might meet you—that I might hear from you." "And you follow" sighed Branaster, "although I have no proof to put against that woman's story, although I can't account for those lost days? Ah, if I only could remember?" "Perhaps you will, some day; and meanwhile, what's love without trust? And I love you, Hubert." They were on the edge of a little lower of miniature trees, and Brancaster suddenly took the girl in his arms. She permitted the embrace but for a moment, and then slipped from his arms, conscious of the fact that there was more for them to do than to deal merely with the superiors of love. "And now we've only a few moments"—she said breathlessly, "tell me, is it true—what that man blinted—almost said, that you're ruined?" "All but," returned Brancaster. "I've bet, plunged, deeper and deeper, till—there's next to nothing left." "But don't you see that by doing that," whispered the girl, "you were confirming everything that people said about you? If you were once free of difficulties—you'd promise me never to bet again—to plunge again?" "With all my heart," said Brancaster sincerely. "Then listen," said Lady Dianna. "The Whip has had her trial and come out of it with flying colors. Granddad says he never had such a horse in his stables—and that nothing" can stand against her—for the Two Thousand Couldn't you." But there was no need for her to finish her sentence. "Back her!" exclaimed 'Brancaster excitately' "Yes, for every whilling I worth—and that means to fight the enemy, to win, to victory—and you." A voice at the other end of the room made them turn "Kelly!" said Lady Dianna pointing her tone conveying a strong suggestion to Brancaster. "I say I want Lord Clanmore," sputtered Kelly. "I'm Joe Kelly. I'm known and respected, I am. I can buy the ring or break it-if I want to make the biggest book on earth but thousands—to your friends." His last words were directed to Lord Branaster. Brancaster and Lady Diana smiled happily. "You daren't lay me the olds in thousands," suggested the young man. "Daren't it returned Kelly soonfully. "To anything you fancy." "For the Gulenea," said Brancaster. "Ten, the favorite, to ten thousand," shouted Kelly. His loud words and the reputation for planking of Lord Branaster drew a crowd at once which seemed, to spring from all the byways and pressed closely about the two principals. On its outkirts Lady Diana watched the two. "No," returned Branaster to Kelly's offer on the favorite. "Black Eagle" suggested the book-maker. "No bet." "Ryanardo," came from Kelly. "No good," said Brancaster. "Black Diamond," countered Kelly. "The sold," Brancaster offered. "Yes," said Kelly, instantly. "Bar that lot-twobites"— "Twenty thousand to 1," said Brancaster while the crowd all but cheered. "Yes," returned Kelly abruptly. "Twice," faunted Brancaster. "Three times," defied Kelly. "Done," answered Brancaster in his turn. "Done! Name your horse," shouted Kelly. "The Whip!" exclaimed Brancaster, all but shouting. Captain Greville Sartoris had eaten a lone but excellent dinner in his chambers when his man announced the Rev. Verner Iamal. The captain, busy with his coffee percolator, directed that he be shown in. A moment later Haslam, with pallid cheeks, fairly bolted into the room. "They're after me, after me!" he panted, his hands and knees trembling. "Who are?" demanded Lady Diana's cousin cardionically. "Detectives," returned the trembling man of the robe. "Ever since the Brancaster case began I've been hundred, hunted—I'm dogged by them. I can't go on with this. I'd rather make a clean breast of it." "Confession won't help you. Shut up, and jails a bare possibility. Own up and it's a dead certainty," said Sartorius, drinking his coffee. The other put a trembling hand to his forehead. "The witness box," he wavered. "I daredn't. I can't face it—I can't; I can't." His voice almost rose to a shriek. "If you are really followed by detectives," began the captain. "I am, I am, I swear it," asserted the rector. "Then we must do something to throw them off the track," went on the captain. "for you're just in the jumpy sort of state to blah everything. We must get you out of the country if necessary." "I if could only get out of London," said Haslam. "I'd like to go to north Yorkshire. I know the country better." "Pretty near to Falconhurst," said Sartoris. But the other was eager to go. "All the better," said he. "It's the last place they'll think of looking for me. But I have no money." "Well, I'll let you have a ten pound note you can catch a train from King's Cross tonight — and dodge I "You are glad to see me, Greville?" she asked, tenderly. about the country until you feel safe—and wired me where you are." Sartoris lent the weakling a coat and cap of a decided sporting cast an disguise and had his servant show him out the back way. Then, he settled down to a leisurely enjoyment of his coffee. His man returned in a few minutes, however, with the information that the "young woman from Falconhurst wanted to see blim." He was inclined to dodge Myrtle, but, thinking that she might have a bit of stable information, ordered that she be admitted. The thought that she might really be able to help him get a bit of ready money made Sartoris so gracious toward the sister of the jockey that he took her into his arms. "Ah, Myrtle, my dear little girl," he said. "You are glad to tell me, Greville," she asked tenderly. "Of course." returned Sartoris. "But have you anything to tell me. You know I'm devilishly hard up and need a little tip." "I have something to tell you," she began. "About the horses?" he asked eagerly. "About myself," she said. "My brother-Harry—knows how it is with me. He follows me everywhere." "If he comes here—young cub," blustered Sartoria. "Don't call him that." remonstrated the jockey's slater. "He knows because he loves me. He's read it in my face. Oh, Greville, keep your promise to me and make me your wife before it is too late." "My dear Myrtle," he protested. "I'm a baggar. I can't keep myself." "Is that all? Is it only money?" "If I were a rich man I'd marry you tomorrow." "Then—then—if I show you a way to become rich," she said eagerly. At his quick exclamation she went on! "I swore that I'd never tell you another stable secret, but to make you rich—to marry me—yesterday they fried The Whip." "With what?" he asked tersely, his stable seems alert. "That would tell them," he said. "She's a fyer." "The Whip was pulling double, by twenty lengths—back her," the girl advised. "Twenty to one! It's a fortune!" exclaimed Sartoria. "But do it at once," the girl continued. "I heard his lordship tell Harry he meant to do the touts this time—that he would tell the world himself directly the horse started for Newmarket." "When's that?" "Tomorrow, Sunday night. They're going to put a horse box on to the fast train that comes through Falconhurst at 7:20." All the greed of Sartoria' small nature was aroused, and, not realising the self revelation and satire that his own words revealed, he exclaimed: "Myrtle, you're an Al little grit—a dear sweet girl." "And you'll marry me?" she questioned anxiously. CHAPTER IX EPORE Sartoris was put to the necessity of further invention and delay there was a knock on the door, and in answer to his master's call Sartoris' man came in with the statement that a "Mr. Kelly" wished to see Sartoris. The latter directed that he be brought in. Myrtle he led into another room. As Kelly came in sowling at Sartoris' man, the captain greeted him heartily with: "Kelly, you're the very man I wanted. I've just had a wire. Commissionlsh—chap I know wants to back The Whip for two thousand." "Then you'd better try some one else," said the bookmaker shortly. "I'm fed up with The Whip. The Whip's just what I've come to see you could stable, and you ought to know something about her. What I want to know is how, what is it how good is it?" "Because I lost my temper," explained Kelly, "and lost my head, too, with A "If The Whip wine I shall take it to Lady Dana and ask her how her signature comes there." Brancaster, and I laid him 20 to 1 against The Whip. "You did!" "Three times!" "What in?" "Thousands." "Good heavens, man!" said Sartoris not entirely displeased to see another in trouble now. "You'll be broke. They tried The Whip yesterday. She rumped home. The best horse they've ever had in the Roverley stables. Cover, man! Cover." "Cover be hanged!" said the disgusted Kelly. "I've tried it, but the whole town rings with it, and the horse is now 5 to 1." "Anything is better than nothing," Sartoria advised. "If you wait you'll get worse. Bewerley is going to tell the wide world. Oh, you're in a hole—put there by Branaster." This lack of sympathy on the part or Sartoria angered Kelly. "I'm in a hole, Mr. Captain Sartoria," he said threateningly. "But what are you? I'm going to get out of this hole, and you are going to help me. I've been a good pal to you; now it's your turn." "What can I do?" demanded Sartoria with a shrug of his shoulders. "I'll tell you what I can do," returned Kelly, taking a piece of paper, from his pocket. "You see this bill for £3,000 due tomorrow." "Yes, that's right," answered Sartoria casually. "But I want you to let me renew it. I'll pay you the interest tomorrow and give you another bill." "With Lady Diana's name on it again," insisted Kelly. "Yes, isn't her name good enough? demanded her cousin. "Quite, but I'd like to see or put it there. Because I don't believe she ever did. I'm going to ask her. So you can keep that new bill of yours and I'll keep this-till after the Two Thousand race. And if The Whip wins I shall take it to Lady Diana and ask her how her signature comes there. But if The Whip loves I'll give it back to you, and I'll throw you a couple of thousand as a makoweight." "How can I stop The Whip from winning?" asked Sartoris, fearful that his forging of his cousin's name would soon come to jabbt. "That's your job," returned Kelly. "Lots of things happen to her, especially favoured. When Klarkhoff was favorite for the Lester he got burned in his box." "Do you suspect that I shall?" began "Do you suggest that I shall"^a begins Bartoria "The very best, that's all." said Kelly, "You're not plenty. But if The Whip what it will be in a halter—and don't you forget it." The sound of a sudden scuffle outside the door interrupted them. "I tell you I will go in!" said Harry Annesa's voice. In another moment he had forced his way into the room. Kelly recognized The Whip's jockey at once. "Harry Anson!" he exclaimed. "Oh! Since he dropped in so friendly like, so if you can't settle something with him, I'm off. Hello, Harry." He crossed partially to the door and then beckoned the despondent captain to one side. "But when the race is over, remember, you've got to settle with me," he warned finally and was gone. Angry Sartoris turned upon the jockey. "What do you mean by bursting into my rooms like this?" he said. The answer of the jockey was direct and to the point. "I've come here after my sister. Where is she?" he shouted, almost shaking his flat in the other's face. "What's your sister to me?" answered Sartoris in apparent disgust. "That's what I want to know." returned the jockey. "and that's what I mean to know before I go out of this room." "She's not here," said Sartoris. "You're a liar." instantly responded the jockey: "I watched, her come in half an hour ago, and she's not come out. Where's that door go to?" He pointed to the door behind which Myrtle was hiding. "What's that to you?" demanded Sartoris. "I'll show you." Anson started for the door, but the captain blocked his way. "You won't," he said. The jockey picked up a heavy decanter from the table. The decanter her brotherJet fall to the floor, where it broke into pieces. "Myrtle!" exclaimed the brother in an agony. "It's true, then? You were here with him alone? Myrtle, tell me I'm thinking of you!" Her head dropped. "Look me in the face—tell me"— The head of the girl was still bowed. "I can't," she said brokenly. A half sob come from Harry as he sank into achair. "Myrtle—my little slater"—he agonized. "You his—his"— Down by his side the girl knelt. "Harry, Harry, don't-you a man-cry for me like that. I'm not worth it," she said. For a moment the jockey raised his head while the tears coursed down his cheeks. "Ah, Myrtille! You was once—worth all the world before—you met him," he sobbed out. The drawing and unfeeling voice of Sartoris broke in upon the anguish of the brother and sister. "See here, my lad," he said, elevating his eyebrows, "suppose for one moment we look at the matter coolly"— Abruptly Harry pushed his sister back as he got to his feet. "Coolly," he said. "when you've ruined my sister! Look at it coolly! Why, every drop of blood in my body would cry shame on me if I did. Call yourself a gentleman!" He was standing directly before Sartoris now. "Well, I'm little better than a stable lad, but I wouldn't treat any woman as you're treated her—a motherless girl—with no one in the world but me." "My good boy, I assure you," drawled on Sartoris. His tone again infuriated the boy. "Curse your assurance," said Harry. "There's only one thing I want to hear from you. Are you going to marry my sister-yes or no?" "No," said Sartoris clearly. Maddened, Harry plunged one hand into his pocket and the next moment was covering the captain with a retainer. The girl rushed toward him, but at his stern command of "Stand back!" she stopped. But Sartoris did not lose his presence of mind. The unexpected directness of this attack upon the emotions of Harry disconcerted him and involuntarily he lowered his weapon. "Quite so," said Sartoris, and then to point out quite clearly to the other his own lack of nerves he drew himself a cup of coffee from the still simmering machine. "Have a cup?" he asked. "No? Well, then let's take all that as said and talk I "Do you think I'd buy my honor at the price of his?" thing else. Lord Beverley never bett. it would do no harm if you didn't ride your beat." "I ride my best or not at all." returned the jockey, for the monetate, at thought of his glorious horse, forgetting his own misery. "Not what I mean," said Sartoria. "Ride The Whip by all means, but pull her a little, my good boy, and perhaps I'll." "You dare say that to me, who's always been an honest lad!" came from the jockey. "Do you prefer that to her being an honest"—begin Sartoria. Quickly Myrtle went to Harry as a cry of indignation came from both brother and sister. "That's the price," continued Lady Diana's cousin. "Here's your chance. What do you say." Before Harry could frame a reply Myrtle had answered. "No," she said strongly, her head now erect and proud. "Do you think I'd buy my honor at the price of his No. You've robbed me, but you shan't rob him. If I must face shame I'll face it alone." "No, you won't; not while I'm here, lasa," said the brother to his sister. "We'll go to his lordship straight. He'll see justice done when he knows what you are, Captain Sartoris." "And what she is," put in Sartoris quickly. "Don't forget that. Hold your tongue and I'm quite willing to provide for her—and hold mine. But talk-of her or her lover?" A sudden exclamation at the threat of Sartoris came from Myrtle. But Harry put his arm about her. "Come nays, lass," he said, "it's a fine thing, sir, for a gentleman to foul a girl's good name—to try to break a poor lady's pride—but you can't. As for your money, she'd never touch a farthing. Lord knows what dirty way it was got. We're going now, but when we meet, if her sorrow does the my tongue—what this—I'm just a stable lad, but I'm honest, and whenever I look you straight in the face, I know you for the lying dog you are? And then they left Sartoris to his cigarette and his evening paper, over which he stretched himself on a soft. CHAPTER X. The New Dr. Crippen. THE WHIP'S trainer, Tom Lambert, had gone to Mine. Tusan's primarily out of vanity. He had had the chance to act as guide to a party of the upper servants of Fulconhurst, and as he had visited the place seven years before he thought this would be a fine opportunity to show off. But unfortunately many changes had taken place in the arrangement and character of the war figures, and so the party had voted Lambert not only a poor, but a badly informed guide. And his vanity had been hurt. Then, to cap the climax, the little boy of a married member of the party had whined constantly that he wanted to see Dr. Crippen in the group of murderers set in the chamber of horrors in a jury box. Lambert had led the way finally to the murderer's group and, reading his catalogue, had found that No. 9 was Dr. Crippen. But when he pointed to No. 9 he found that merely the number was there. He did not know that Dr. Crippen had been removed to be fixed up a bit by the reporter. It was Saturday night, and Dr. Crippen could be spared until Monday, when he would have a driller pair of legs. So, in the end, the party left the disgraced Lambert alone in the chamber of horrors. He was just about to leave when Myrtle Anson came in. She had known that the Fatechurst party of servants had gone there. "Why, Myrtle, my lass!" he exclaimed kindly. "The girl plunged at once into her errand with him. "Of course I will, my lass," he said. "What's wrong?" "It's about The Whip. Some one wants to stop her winning," she said, realizing that her task would be very difficult if she were going to succeed in telling just what she wanted to without telling all. "Lots do, but they won't." answered the confident trainer, not taking her at all seriously. "She'll just romp in." "But this is one who means to stop her by fair means or foul," she went on. "He tried to get Harry to pull her." / "And Harry knocked him down, I hope," sported the trainer. "He couldn't do that--but--but he refused--you know he would--and he wasn't going to speak-for-for my sake--but I couldn't rest." The girl was becoming confused in her effort to sell but a part of the truth, the par that would serve merely as a warning. "I was afraid that he—the person might try to injure the Whip--some way to prevent her running." "Who is he?" eternally asked the aroused horseman. "I don't want to tell you that," she said. "Don't ask me. I only came to warn you to watch the horse so that they mayn't have a chance to injure her." "How can I when I don't know where the danger's coming, from?" continued Lambert, the drops appearing on his forehead as he tried to penetrate behind her words. "Look here. Myrtle, my lass. You've told me so much you've got to tell me the rest. Come, now, I've got to know the man's name, who wants to nobble The Whip." "No, no." "But I say, ye. It's your duty to them as has reared you and looked to you all your life. Out with it—what's his name?" "Under his compelling earnestness the girl's need drooped. Then she raised it bravely and, looking him square in the eye, said: "His bedside's counten--you're dreaming" be good in a management. "I'm not," she asserted. "I wish I were. I wore it." Into the agonized sense of the trainer there came to him from the hall outside a voice he knew and loved and feared well, too. Mrs. Beaulph was earling: "Oh, my good woman, don't come and bother me." Into the air fairly leaped Lambert. "That's her voice, a thousand to nothing," he lamented. "Mrs. Beamish!" the girl exclaimed. "Yes." went on the perturbed trailer, and if she catches you and me to- 3 "Out with it—what's his name? gether again, I'm done for— Run away, my girl-for goodness' sake, go away—right out of the building: write to me—I mean I'll write to you—we'll keep writing to one another." He was now hopping up and down in his agitation. "In this the chamber of horror? asked outside, the dry voice he feared so much. "I should say it was," groaned Tom. Myrtle was amused for the moment. "What are you going to do?" she asked. "Goodness knows," he said, looking about the room for another means of exit. But he could find none. Finally he scanned closely each little den and even each figure and turn. His eye fell upon the jury box and the vacant place in the group of murderers where Dr. Crimson had stood. "Do? he repeated, as a sudden intimation came to him. 'I'm going to be Dr. Crippen.' In a moment he had darted up the little flight of steps that led into the jury box, had stepped over the galling and was standing posing in the place lately occupied by the wax figure of Dr. Crippen. A black silk handkerchief he had taken from another figure he tied about his threat, so that it resembled the board of Dr. Crippen. He had barely assumed his motion less posture, with his chest swelling out at his forethought, when Mrs. Beamish entered, followed at a distance by a woman in the shabby weeds of a poor widow. Myrtle turned and came face to face with Mrs. Beamish. The latter had known that Tom Lambert was to guide the Faleonhurt servants through the place and had drawn her own conclusions. "Good evening, man'am," said Myrtle quiet respectfully. "More than can be said of the evening's work," commanded the outraged Mrs. Reamslatt as she glanced about. "Where's your accomplishment?" "My what, man'am?" the girl asked. "The man you've been keeping an assignation with," snapped Lady Diana's companion. "I have kept no assignation with any man," the girl said, her tones still ro- WARE OF ROCKLE She Seated Horsefly Directly Below the Jury Box and Beneath Lyck堡. sportful toward this woman whom jealousy she knew and sympathized with. "You may tell that to the married, my girl," went on the Jealous woman. "I know better, and you ought to a man old enough to be your Father and only enough to fraternize the crown." "I don't," began Myrith. "You may go now," said Mrs. Bene ```markdown ``` this scene with the jealous woman, want at once. As Mrs. Beamish turned from the girl she blinded against the woman who had been following her. "What do you want, pray?" asked the elderly name of Lambert. "Nothing, medium," returned the woman. "I thought you seemed to want somebody." "So I do, and only let me catch him." enabled Mrs. Beamish. "If you could describe him, my lady," said the other. "I can't. Language falls—dictionary language." "What's he like?" Mrs. Beamlab had been looking about her busily, seeking Lambert. Her eyes for the past few moments had been traveling down a line of the murderers in the jury box. Suddenly they roasted upon the posting Lambert and recognized him. "So that's it. Is it?" she remarked in her hardest and driest voice. "The wretch." Lambert, however, seeing her eyes turn from him, was sure that she had not recognized him. To the other woman Mrs. Beamlab turned, and then, pointing to the murderers, she asked for Lambert's behift: "What are those?" "Those are murderers, madam," said the woman. "They look it." returned Mea. Beamish, her voice cutting through Lambert. "every man Jack of them, especially that one in the corner with the bibouca red face." She glanced into the catalogue she carried. "No. B-Dr. Crippen. Just what I should have guessed. You can see the man is a monster of wickedness." "So you can, my lady," agreed the other. Lambert shook in his boots, but not with amusement. "Crime written large across his ugly face, in every line of it." resumed Mea. Beamish, who was having her revenge entirely unknown to her victim. "And there are a good many of them—a hardened old illicit. I could believe anything of a man with that face." "So could it, my lady," agreed readily her companion. "Yes, and he's extraordinarily like a man I've known and suspected for a long time." "Lor, lady, that ain't no compliment to the gentleman." "He isn't a gentleman," said Lambert's punisher; "he's quite a common person and behaves himself as such." "You don't say no, lady!" "Don't I, though? And that nothing to what I could say. But, there, I can't look at the creature. It makes me quite ill, and I'm tired. I shall sit down for a bit—until they turn the people out." She seated herself directly below the jury box and beneath Lambert. Involuntarily the trainer, who had been finding it difficult to hold his pose and keep his face as expressionless as wax, groaned. Instantly the woman who had been talking with Mrs. Beamish exclaimed: "Lor, what was that?" "What?" "Didn't you bear it? Sounded like a groan." Mrs. Beamish had known perfectly what the sound was, but she had a very definite plan in her mind regarding Lambert, and she pretended that she hadn't heard. "Well, why not?" she responded. "It's the chamber of horrors. I dare say it's done by machinery—somebody suffering tortures, or on the rack, or something." "As Mrs. Beamish laid her gold mesh bag down on the bench beside her, just under a sign. 'Bowaro of Pickockets,' the other woman sank down on the bench with a smothered 'Oh!' "What's the matter?" asked Mrs. Beamish, anxiously. "It's my hunter, my lady," she said. "I'm out of work. I haven't had a morsel of food all day. I came in here thinking that some kind of person might ask me, but." she insisted to the other a very handsome bottle of smelling salts, which the woman kept. "Feel any better?" asked Mrs. Beamish. "A little," confessed the other, and she slipped into her pocket Mrs. Beamish's gold bag. "Oh, my lady, how kind you are," she added, as into her specially arranged pocket went all of the other loose valuables of the jealous Mrs. Beamish. "If you'd let me offer you something," and Mrs. Beamish's hand made a movement vaguely toward the place where her purse had been. But the other knew the impulse and killed it an once. "No, no, my lady," she said; "I know you mean kindly, but don't spoil it. Poor I may be, and unhappy am, but I has my pride." She was half way to the door now. "Thank heaven I have my pride, my lady," she said once again and was gone. "Poor, dear soul," commented Mrs. Beamish aloud to the unbounded delight of poor Lambert, who did not dare move, "and so digressed in her sorrow. What hard lives some people have." There was a suspicion of tears in her eyes, and she put her hand in her pocket to find her nanker cliff. "Why, wherever my hand beckers," he exclaimed. "Then at gradually the truth descued." "And and my purse?" And where - my purse? The end A moment more she was running from the chamber of horrors, crying: "Here! Hop thief! Hop thief!" Congressman, Defies Mr. Wilson In Postoffice, Regulations. J. Defiance of President Wilson's disapproval of the clause in the postponed appropriation bill exempting all the military members from the post office service was voiced in the house by Representative J.

Olden, said to be a union labor organizer, of Hagerstown, Md, on his way to the convention of the United Mine Workers of America at Indianapolis, was robbed of valuable papers on a Baltimore & Ohio railroad train near the Morgantown and Kingwood railroad junction. His assailants escaped, and Olden, guarded by a railroad detective, continued his journey. Olden told the railroad man that he was playing cards in a coach with a stranger whose acquaintance he had made, when he was knocked down from behind. When he recovered consciousness three men, one of them his companion, were bending over him, each armed with a pistol. They told him they wanted no money, but that they wanted his valise, in which were valuable union organization papers. Persona in the car attempted to interfere, but were held back by the men until they gripped the vestibule. There they remained until the train was stopped by a hot box.

WILSON WANTS TRUST CURBS Urges Squaring of Business and Public. ANTAGONISM QVER, HE SAYS The President Declares Monopoly is indefensible and interlocking Directorates Must Go. President Wilson personally laid be fore a joint session of congress on Tuesday the fundamental principles of the Democratic administration's program for dealing with the trusts and "big business." The president presented the case he said, "as it lies in the thought of the country," roiterating "that private monopoly is indefensible and intolerable," and declaring that conscientious business men throughout the nation would not be satisfied until practices now deprecated by public opinion as restraints of trade and commerce were corrected. He now about to write the additional article of our constitution of peace," said the president, "the peace that is honor and freedom and prosperity." Besides suggesting the scope of legislation, the president made a personal appeal for an atmosphere of friendliness and co-operation in congress while handling the problem. "The antagismon," he said, "between business and government is over. We are now about to give expression to the best judgment of America, to what we know to be the business conscience and honor of the land." The government and business men are ready to meet each other half way in order to squirt business mothers with both public opinion and the law." The chief polite which the president angled out us a basis for legislation were: 1—Effectual prohibition of the interlocking of directorates of great corporations—banks, railroads, industrial, commercial) and public service bodies. 2—A law to confer upon the interstate commerce commission the power to superintend and regulate the financial operations by which railroads are hereforth to be supplied with the money they need for their proper development and improved transportation facilities. The president made it clear that "the prosperity of the railroads and the prosperity of the country are inseparably connected" in this regard. 3—Definition of "the many hurtful restraints of trade" by explicit legislation supplementary to the Sherman law. 4—The creation of a commission to aid the courts and to act as a clearing house of information in helping business to conform with the law. 6- Provision of penalties and punishments to fall upon individuals responsible for unlawful business practices. 7- Prohibition of holding companies and a suggestion that the voting power of individuals holding shares in numerous corporations might be restricted. 7- Giving to private individuals the right to found suits for redress on facts and judgments proven in government suits, and providing that a statute of limitations should run only from the date of conclusion of the government's action.

Tried Hard to Save Buried Craw. LOST DURING MANEUVERS "A7" Dived to the Bottom of Bay and Failed to Come to Surface—Divers Fall to Locate Her. The submarine A7, with sixteen officers and men on board, failed to come to the surface after a dive to the bottom of Whitesbay Bay, Plymouth, England, during the maneuvers, and all on board are uninterrupted dead. There were circumstances reports of tapping by the imprisoned men, which would show that they were alive, but those proved to be untrue. Salvage vessels are searching for the A7. The submarines of the A class are supposed to carry through or to remain under water from seven to twelve hours. As the A7 dived about 11 o'clock Friday morning, the survival of any of the crew cannot be hoped for. Bubbles were seen after she sank and apparently drifted along with the tide, but it is certain that the submarine was not beached them. An early report that wireless telephone communication and been established between the parent vessel, the Piggy, and the A7 were without any foundation. The submarine sank in a hundred feet of water. The official statement issued by the admiralty briefly announces that while the A7 were ever present in Whitehead bay one dived to the bottom and failed to come to the surface it adds that "it is believed the A7 jumped four miles from Hunsh腺 in nineteen fathoms of water." Two divers, a submarine, eight geamen and a number of engineers and stokers made up the sixteen men on the vessel when she went down. It is understood that the submarine was equipped with airbags and safety helmets. For this reason it is the general theory that the crew was over come by gas. During the maneuver the weather was fine and clear and the sea smooth. Six submarines were engaged. They had finished their diving and tactical movements and had started for Plymouth in a single line, running submerged, with only their periscopes showing. Commander Tomlinson, who was directing the maneuver from the parent ship, the Pigmy, suddenly noticed that only five periscopes were showing. He instantly gave the signal for the submarines to blow but their tanks and rise. The A7 did not respond. The Pigmy steamed back and saw bubbles, which were recognized as anonymous tokens that something had gone amiss. She signalled to the dock yard and help was promptly sent. Divers made numerous attempts to locate the vessel, but without success. Big Dam Bursts. Flooding Valley. Residents of the Stony river valley, below Bobbin, W. Va., were sent into terrorized flight and much alarm was caused in towns along the north branch of the Potomac river by the bursting of the great dam of the West Virginia Pulp and Paper company. No loss of life has been reported, the people apparently having received warning in ample time to flee to high lands, but the destruction of property has been heavy. The great wall of water let loose by the dam swept everything before it in the valley and poured into the Potomac at Sellon, W. Va. At Harrison, W. Va., forty-seven miles west of Cumberland, the water rose to a height of thirty-five feet. The torrent tore down the Western Mary land railroad bridge washed out the railway tracks and wrecked many homes. The loss to the railroad alone was estimated at more than $200,000. When the flood reached Blaine and Harrison it was sweeping everything before it. Pledon and Keyner also suffered soothed. Cumberland is more than sixty miles from the source of the flood, but all residents of the lowlands have been advised to flee from their homes. They carried their possessions to the hills. Cracks were discovered in the dam and the gates in the big concrete structure were opened to let out the water and leash in the strain on the weakened dam, whose breast was 1075 feet long and which held back more than 3,000,000 gallons of water. General Louis Wagner Dies. General Louis Wagner, who was widely known as a banker, a veteran of the Civil War and a philanthropist, died at his home at Chew street and Locust avenue, Philadelphia. The general, who was seventy-five years old, "died in barns," as he had often expressed "a desire to do. He was born in Germany in 1838. Death resulted from over-exertion, his family says. A physician, who reached his home shortly after he had passed away, said his heart had just given out. General Warner, who was president of the board of city trusts and of the Third National bank, retained his remarkable vitality until several hours before he died. Despite a collapse which almost ended his life on New Year's day, he went to New York on Wednesday. Returning from New York, he attended a meeting of the board of city trusts and then went to the Ethina Orphanage, in which he was deeply interested. He later attended prayer meeting in the Market Square Presbyterian church, Germantown. "The so died," he remarked to his wife, Mrs. Harriet Wayner, as he went to bed. Toward midnight he combined of illness. A physician, was at same summoned, but did not reach the 10 West Leigh Street, Richmond, Virginia.

Pronacher Has "Soul Mate." Arrested on a charge of mutilating Mrs. J. W. Deane, a pretty young woman, as his "soult man," Rev. J. W. Foster, a prominent Baptist minister of Atlanta, Ga., admitted the charge and said that his liaison with the woman had made him a more spiritual preacher. "My wife is to blame for all this," said Foster. "She was unsympathetic and was no help to my ministry, I met Mrs. Deane and found her to be my real soul mate. Since meeting her I have been a better man and a better preacher, and done nothing that I am aware of." Foster maintained Mrs. Deane in a house within a stone's throw of his church and within two blocks of where he maintained the real Mrs. Foster and her seven children. D. 4. H. trike Settled.

Counsel for one of the railroads in the recent arbitration proceedings in New York said at a lunchoon: "Well, the poor railroads, at any rate, have got rid of the pass evil. Cornelius Vanderbilt used to tell a story about that. "Mr. Vanderbilt said that a man once called and asked him for a pass over the New York Central to Albany. "Why do you ask for a pass?" said "Why do you ask for a pass?" said Mr. Yanderbilt. "Because I'm so sensitive,' the man anawered. "So sensitive? What's that got to do with the matter?" "Well, I'll tell you, Mr. Vanderbilt,' the applicant explained. 'I went up to Albany on your line last week, and I was the only man on the whole train that paid his fare. The other passengers gave me about it like the dickens, and as I'm so very sensitive, I don't want to go through such an unpleasant experience again." Envelopes. Letterheads. Cards. Circulars.

We have received "The Progressive Party," a speech delivered by Senator Moses E. Clapp of Minnesota, at the Progressive Congressional Convention at Moundsville, W. Va., September 20, 1913. --- The Anti-Saloon League of New York is pressing for passage a bill requiring the pasting of a poison label on all whiskey bottles. This means that "poison" bottles will be come "mighty" popular among the dramaters in New York should this bill become a law. A white man in Mobile, Alabama stole the crepe from the front door where he had gone to beg something to eat, claiming that he wanted to use the crepe as a band for his hat. Some colored folks have done some mean things, but some white folks are certainly ahead of them in this matter. We have received a copy of an appeal to the people of America. It is an able plea for civil and political justice. The language used is of a conciliatory character and can hardly fail to do much good. It is signed by E. C. Morris, C. S. Brown, L. J. Coppin, Benjamin F. Loe, W. R. Pettiford, J. A. Whitted, C. S. Morris, C. First Johnson, C. H. Parrish, Joseph A. Booker, R. B. Hudson, R. E. Bryant, W. L. Williams, A. W. Pegues, E. W. D. Isaac and J. W. Bailey. Those able leaders were well qualified to "draw up" just such an address to the country. "NEGRO MORAL STANDARDS." The friendly attitude assumed by the Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch in discussing matters pertaining to our people should be appreciated by every colored person in his state. In discussing Gov. Cole L.-Please's redections upon us, it says in its issue of the 26th inst.: Governor Blessa explains some of his parents of Negroes by saying that Negroes have no standard of morality. Even were this true of all of them, which it is not, tolerating it, condoning it, freeing it of punishment will not help to give the Negroes a standard of morality. One reason that the standard among Negroes is low is that the whites do not frown upon the immoralities of Negroes as they should; do not sufficiently punish violations of crime involving moral turpitude, peculiar to Negro character. Heavy, sure and swift punishment of certain crimes of which Negroes more than others are guilty; refusal to condone them because committed by Negroes, and co-operation between the whites and the better class of blacks, to raise the standard of the race generally are the means whereby morality among the Negroes may be increased. And again: The Negro is comparatively but a few years out of barbarism. His moral standards are derived from the white men with whom he has come in contact. Had he taken this standard from the best of them, his progress would necessarily have been slow, but since he has taken it from the worst of them, it has been even slower than might have been hoped for under more favorable circumstances. The above is "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." It continues: The remedy is greater insistence by the whites upon morality among the Negroes; stricter rules and sterner punishment. The standard among Negroes is very much as the white people make it. It will not be raised greatly until the whites set a greater value upon it; until the Negro comes to understand that the white people as a class do not regard their immorality with tolerance, and that the coirts will not treat it with lenency. Governor Please is one of those who, by pretended clemency, has proven himself the Negro's worst enemy. His pardon and his words in granting the pardon are the heaviest blows even the South Carolina Negro-hater has yet struck against the object of his hatred. This is the proper philosophic way in which to view Gov. Please's utterances. The white- and colored people of the better class need protection against the vicious elements of our race. A high value must be set upon correct living...upright conduct. The reactionary effect upon the masses of colored people of the bad conduct of the dissolute elements may now be seen from the Atlantic to the Pacific from Canada to the Gulf. Inside of the penitentiaries they do not injure us, outside of that penal structure, they are living objects of shame and ridicule and are cited by the Neurohlaters as a type of the new Negroes, who should be denied civil and political rights and eliminated as positive factors in the administration of the affairs of this great government of ours. Gov. Please is having his day. He is a type of the South Carolinian now in control in that Southern state. He will be curried and welcomed by the Northerner with antipathy to the South's political and industrial progress. A man of his type can do more to check the South's financial and industrial progress in one month than a conservative Southerner can undo in six months. South Carolina is evidently retrograding just in proportion as her sister states North. South and West of her are progressing. A PATHETIC INCIDENT. The friendship existing between the Southern white men and former slave has been told in song and story. Evidences of this peculiar relationship are constantly cropping out. The following telegraphic report explains itself: Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Jany. 24. George Jackson, an aged Negro slave before the war, who has for several years faced the poorhouse, to-light left for Virginia, to live with his former master, Colonel Martin Jackson, on whose plantation in the South he worked as a slave many years ago. The old man's good luck came as a result of a chance meeting with Colonel Jackson on the street here this morning. Colonel Jackson came to Poughkeepsie to visit his niece, who is attending Vassar College. While waiting for a car for the college he was accosted by the aged Negro, who had recognized him. The old Negro, who came North to work in the brick-yards several years ago, has been living at Camelot, a few miles south of Poughkeepsie. Those who prophesy race wars and bitter antipathies, those who advocate race segregation and who turn up their noses when seated next to a colored person in a street-car can read the above report with profit. George. Jackson will be treated as one of Col. Martin's family and Col. Martin will see to it that he shall never want for bread. Jackson would fight for his old master and would, protect him and his family against all comers. This is the "bond of union" existing between the better class of white and black people of the Southland. As long as either of this type of humanity exists there peace will exist and a war, of extermination never take place in the land. Both Jackson and Col. Martin chose well. The only mistake the former made was when he left his old friend and went North. Patronies Our Advertisers. BOMB PLANTER AMAZES POLICE Youth Who Began Life of Crime at Seven Admits Arson and Murder and Reveals Working of "Black Handers." A tale that laid bare the inside workings of the most desperate band of "Black Handers" that the police have ever coped with was told by a youthful witness before Judge Rosalsky, in the court of general sessions in New York, at the trial of a member of the gang. The witness, who confessed to the police after he was arrested and thought that the gang was not standing by him, confessed on the stand under oath to being implicated in two murders, nearly a score of bomb outrages, abduction of young girls for white slave purposes and other crimes of lesser magnitude. His retaliation, as a matter of fact, was a story never equalled in the "blood and thunder" yarns of the penny novelties and astonished everybody in the court room. Judge Roskosky sat on the bench in amazement as the witness gibbly told of his connection with the activities of the gangsters. The witness was Alfred Lehman, known to his associates as "Schulty." He is only twenty-three years of age and is silent of build, with a pale, anaemic face, looking anything but the desperate criminal he confessed himself to be. Lehman was arrested with two others in Lyndhurst, N. J., in October. The three were charged with setting off a bomb in the establishment of Klee & Co., in Lyndhurst. Lehman thought that the gang did not intend to aid him, and accordingly the New York police received word that he had a tale that would interest them. Deputy Police Commissioner, Dougherty went over to the jail and heard Lehman's story. Afterward, when Lehman was brought to New York he roterated his confession. Lehman was placed on the stand as the principal witness against Angelo Gylvestro, who was charged with placing a bomb in the halfway of the tenement at 179 East Houston street. Lehman, in addition to telling about his knowledge of and participation in the score of bomb outrages and two murders, also told the court about the burning of two Brooklyn houses for the insurance. He said that the bomb outrages usually brought the men doing the work $50. One robbery in which a Chinaman was killed, he said, netted him $2; while the two men with him, who, he said, killed the Chinese, got the same amount. Regarding the bomb set off in the tenement in East Houston street, Lehman said that the leader of the Black Hand gang was interested in a woman and that a man living in the tenement was interested in the same woman, the gang leader, he said, wanted to get rid of this man. "On Aug. 31 Sylvestro and a man known as 'Zump' took the bomb handed to us by the gang leader and went to the back yard of the tenement at 170 East Houston street," said Lehman. "This was next door to the Hippodrome moving picture theater, which was crowded at the time we set about to blow up the place. We didn't care a rap for the danger to the crowd in the theater. We were there to set off the bomb and we were going to do it." The witness went on to tell how the bomb failed to explode after the fuse had been lighted twice. He then told of having personally set from sixteen to eighteen bombs, some of which did great damage and others refusing to explode. Cross-examined by Sylvestro's lawyer, Lochman said that he had begun his career of crime at the age of seven. Two other members of the gang are expected to corroborate his story. Rocco Pucillo, another member of the gang, also confessed. He said he participated in the setting off of thirty-five bombs in different parts of the city. "I was paid from $50 to $100 for each bomb that I planted myself," he said, "and I received $25 each time I accompanied other members of the gang who planted bombs." Year For New Haven Flagman.

Murray, the flagman of the Bar Harbor express, which was wrecked by the White Mountain express on the New Haven railroad, at North Haven, on Sept. 2, 1913, pleaded guilty to manlaughters in New Haven, Conn., and was sentenced to one year in the county jail.

SLAYS COUSIN TO SAVE OWN LIFE Glasgow, De., Widow Held Alter Shooting Man. UPSET STOVE CAUSED FIRE Victim Had Been Drinking and Had Threatened to Kill All Persons in the House. Mrs. Bessie McKinney, a widow, living in Glasgow, four miles from Newark, Dol, shot and killed her cousin, Delaware Reed, to save her own life, and she was held without ball to await the action of the coroner. The woman, who is forty years old, was housekeeper for Reed, who was thirty years of age, and a blacksmith. She, her three children and her mother, Mrs. Emma Reed, all made their home with Delaware Reed. Mrs. McKinney had been his housekeeper for eight years. "Del' was in the habit of going on sprees about twice a year," testified Mrs. McKinney, who betrayed little nervousness when she was arraigned before Squire Lovett, "and when he got drunk he got violent. "He left the house in the morning and did not come back until about five o'clock. We knew there was something wrong when we saw him beating the horse, and when he came into the house, swearing and in a rage, we saw that he had been drinking. "He kicked over the little stove in the kitchen, and that started a fire. He drove my mother and my children into the front room. Mother, fearing he would, kill us all, ran out into the street with the children to summon aid. "I managed to put out the fire and then I tried to reason with 'Del.' He attacked men and pulled a revolver out of his pocket. He told me he was going to kill me. I grappled with him and the revolver dropped to the floor. I picked it up and ran for the door. "Del' followed me out into, the yard, and I ran back again, going in the front way. I locked the door in his face. He began to break windows, and then tried to force the door down. Finally I opened it. As I did, he made for me. "Nither he had to die; or I. So I leveled that revolver at him and fired three times. He fell back, and then pulled himself together and staggered into the house and through to the kitchen. There he dropped to the floor, dead." Several persons, among them Herr. Brown, saw the shot fired, and saw Reed stagger into the house, but no one ventured in after him, until a physician arrived from Newark. He had come in response to a telephone call by Mrs. Reed, and he was followed by Shellender, a constable, who arrested Mrs. McKinney. She was taken to Newark and there lodged in the lockup. After her hearing she was removed to the county workhouse at Greenbank. Mrs. McKinney's children are now with Mrs. Reed, at Glasgow. Two of the children are girls, one eleven years old and the other fifteen. The third child, a boy, is nine years old. Mrs. McKinney's husband died last October. Outlaw Farmer Gives Himself Up. Edward Beardsley, the Chautauqua county outlaw farmer, who has for over a week defied the efforts of Shoriff Gust Anderson and a pose to arrest him, gave himself up to C. D. Backus, a local man, and was locked up in the jail in Mayville, N. Y. Backus, who was appointed a deputy sheriff by Sheriff Anderson, effected the "capture" alone and in keeping with a plan agreed upon between him and Beardsley. The outlaw was taken to the hotel, where breakfast was served. He then went to a barber shop, after which he walked to the sheriff's office and formally gave himself into the custody of the law. He was served with a warrant that charged him with assault in the first degree in having shot G. W. Putnam, overseer of the poor of Chautauqua county, with intent to kill. Locked in his cell, no one was allowed to see him. Beardsley's "capture" came after eight days of open defiance of the law and his effective defense of "Fort Beardsley," as his farm house stronghold became known, dwindled into a burlesque with the outlaw in the principal role. He would allow anyone to see and talk with him except the sheriff, and he turned his notoriety into money by the sale of autograph postal cards, posing for photographers and moving picture men. He boasted that Sheriff Anderson would never "take" him. A week ago Tuesday Beardsley shot Putnam as the latter was about to take the outlaws nine children to a county institution. He barricaded the windows and doors of his farm house and kept the sheriff and his pose of twenty-five men at bay by threatening to use the children as a shield against their bullets. Mrs. Wilson Claims Land. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the president, paid $3000 for sixty acres of land in the Coachella Valley, which is the subject of a contest in the United States land office in Los Angeles, Cal. Mrs. Wilson so informed Homer L. Goddard one of the rival elements.

In a letter written from Pass Christian, Miss, on Jan. 9. She added that she had paid taxes on the land for three years. The correspondence was introduced in evidence. During the time the president's wife was paying taxes on the land, however, title to it never had been perfected by John T. King, the original locator who had acquired it by means of state land script. Learning of this, Mrs. Maude Compton Henste filed a homestead entry, which she sold later to Homer L. Golddard. It developed that the president's wife had made a good bargain, provided her titled to the land was established. Witnesses estimated the present value of the tract at $8000. While Mrs. Wilson's letter stated that she is the owner of the land, a deed introduced in the hearing vests the titled in the president himself. Heir Guards Gold Three Weeks. After standing guard, gun in hand, over a treasure chest containing $1800 in gold for three weeks, John Enders, twenty-five years old, of Dalmatia, near Herndon, Pa., was overpowered by William High, a constable, and placed in jail. Enders lived with Thomas Umberger, his grandfather, who died three weeks ago. While a preacher said a funeral service Enders stood at the stairway with his shotgun and threatened to shoot the person who would attempt to pass him. He has since refused to let anybody near the treasure under penalty of death. Constable High put a dog to barking at the rear, and while Enders was watching it he stepped up behind and overpowered him. Enders is the sole beneficiary under the will and he labored under the hallucination that he was to be robbed of the money. 'His sanity is questioned. He was half starved. He said he ate little during his three weeks' watch. Killed In Auto Accident Losing control of a big touring car in which they were riding. Dr. William Ulsh and Browster Schoch, of Selins Grove, Pa., were thrown over an embankment near Middleburg and were injured fatally. Dr. Ulsh suffered a fractured skull and lived only an hour after the accident. Schoch was taken to a hospital and is not expected to recover. Dr. Ulsh was a surgeon in the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad company. An ice and allipper roadway caused the automobile to skid over the embankment. The machine turned over and pinned the doctor underneath. Dr. Ulsh was forty-five years old and leaves a widow. He was a graduate of Annapolis and handled small-pox epidemics in the Philippines after the Spanish-American war.

Mrs. Bowser corroborated the statement: "Mr. Bowser had come home early in the afternoon and not entered the house. He had come home with a copy and two strange men. The men looked tough and the cow looked tough. As Mrs. Bowser surveyed the group she saw Mr. Bowser posses money. Ten minutes, later Mr. Bowser entered the house to be greeted with: "So you have bought a winter cow?" "Don't get excited, Mrs. Bowser. When you come to hear all about it you will see that it is a move to sure our lives." "Nonsense! You have just played Easy Mark again." Mr. Bowser Explains His Purchase. "Be patient, my dear woman. I never do anything without an object. How much milk do you use a day?" "Four quarts." "Four quarts, oh? With an average of 600,000 germs to the quart that is 2,400,000 germs to the gallon. When I 22 "A COW AND TWO STRANGE MEN." see the cold figures staring me in the face I can't help shuddering. What on earth has preserved our lives all these years I can't make out. "You have to your system at the present moment probably 60,000,000 germs. I have the same number or more. They are gamboiling up and down through the veins, and playing tag in the arteries, and we sit here an calm and placed as if the danger were a mile away! For the last seven or eight years we have been absorbing 600,000 germs per day, and why we were not removed from earth long ago is a positive miracle. "You mean there are germs in the milk? "Billions of them, Mrs. Bowser, billions—that is, they are in the milk you buy from the milkman. They come from the branches of the milkers and the cans." "But they wouldn't be in the milk of your own cow?" "No, a one-not if I took the proper precautions. No; if we had our own cow we should not be walking around our own graves every hour of the day. We should have the purse of milk and the ribbon of cream, and what we pay in doctor's bills for six months would buy the cow and keep her the year round. I have it all figured out here. See? It has simply resolved itself down to this. Shall we fill up on germs every day in the year and suddenly develop typhoid or consumption or shall we buy a cow of our own and live to be eighty-five or ninety years old?" "I suppose you bought the cow," said Mrs. Bowser, "of those two men I knew in the alley." "Oh, you were looking, eh? Well, yes, I bought the cow, and I think I know a thing or two about cows. This one gives an average of ten quarts at a milking. Think of twenty quarts without a germ to be found." Mrs. B. Unfavorably impressed. Mrs. Bower found a one borned, wild cow standing in the stable. Her tail had been cut off, her ribs stood out like barrel hoops. The cow looked mean for handle racing or gate jumping, then milking, and that was the "That shows how little you know about cows," replied Mr. Bowser. "Woman, do you know that her owners first figure was $000 and that I spent an hour beating him down to $407." "And you paid $40 in cash for that—that thing?" she gasped. "Certainly I did, and I know she's a bargain if there ever was one. For haps you came out here expecting to find something gold plated from head to heel." "I don't think she's much of a cow," alged Mrs. Bowser, "but she may turn out all right after all. Doesn't she look wild to you?" "Just a little, but you see, she naturally regards us as strangers and is wondering what designs we have against her. Two or three days will see her looking as doctile as a cat." "And who's to milk her?" asked Mrs. Bowser. Mr. Bowser-Starts Things Going. "That's my job and no one else, I'm going to get a pair of overnails, and I shall be farmer Bowser twice a day. I'll do the milking, and you'll play the dairymail. Get a pail and we'll soon have our first ten quarts. No more tea and coffee for us, but pure milk, and all we can drink." When Mrs. Bowser returned, with the pail she cautioned Mr. Bowser against that wildness of the eyes, but with a laugh he removed his coat and made ready. Once he had seen a man milking a cow, and the late owner of this particular boyne he had spent ten minutes in posing him. He therefore felt supreme confidence in himself. "By George, this is homelike!" he said as he drew up the box. "If we had a pig squirting in a pen and a few chickens cackling around"— The cow jumped her back in a threatening way, and Mrs. Bowser called out in alarm. "She jumped a fly off her back," said Mr. Bowser as he took hold again. "Of course we've got to get used to each other. It won't be three days before"— Becoming Better Acquainted. Becoming Better Acquainted. There, was a bump and a jump this time, accompanied by a bellow, and before Mr. Bowser could let go the pal was kicked out of his hand. He started to fall back, but the cow's leg swung around, and her hoof found his body and sent him rolling over the floor. Mrs. Bowser yelled at the top of her voice. There were other bumps and kicks and bellows, and then the "mild and gentle" charged the alley door like a bull going for a haystack. There was a crash and a smash and a cloud of splinters, and the flow and the door went down the alley together. "Are you dead?" asked Mrs. Bowser as she went over to where the ant-germist lay on the floor. Mr. Bowser slowly sat up and stared around. "This is the twentieth century, and you have bought a winter cow," she continued, hoping to restore his memory. She succeeded. He drew him self up and looked around him, and when his eyes finally relaxed men he pointed to the man in the way and hoarsely whispered. "Wooman, retreat, that out! He gone! 1-1 will see you sit on and agree upon the amount of the almany." . His Real Grievance. "I regard the income tax law as an unwarrantable interference with a citizen's private affairs.

The oldest known letter written on black-edged note paper as a sign of mourning appears to be one dated Jan. 6, 1683. In Addison's comedy of "The Drummer," 1715, reference is made to the fashion in the words, "My lady's mourning paper that, is blacked at the edges." A few years later Allan Ramay, who died in 1758, speaks in one of his poems of "the sable bordered aheet" as a messenger of sorrow. Mann, writing from Italy to Horace Walpole in 1745, says it was universally used in Florence at that time. Advertising In a Good Medium Pays Handsomely.

The Wickedest Bit of Sea. Nine out of ten travelers would tell inquirers that the roughest piece of water is that cruel stretch in the English channel, and nine out of ten travelers would say what was not true. As a matter of fact, "the wickedest bit of sea" is not in the Dover strait or in yachting, for example, from St Jean de Luz up to Pauliac or across the Mediterranean "race" from Cadiz to Tangier, nor is it in rounding Cape Horn, where there is what sailors call a "true" sea. "The wickedest sea" is encountered in rounding the Cape of Good Hope for the eastern portion of Cape Colony.—London Globe. Memory. Dear as remembered kisses after death. All our sensations are memory, some say. It may be. It may not be. But this we know: The perfume that is the finest is the perfume of reminiscence. It may be a vagrant fragrance from the woods or in the city's air. The song neglected, in remembered, is the most appealing. The taste acquired in childhood is that that tickles most our older palate. A friend is a composite of our memories. Sometimes that part of us that is the bud and leaf seems the whole tree. But we would die without the roots. Memory is the roots and sap of us.—Kansas City Star. Alabama's Iron Ores The boom which followed the discovery of the extensive deposits of iron ore in the vicinity of Birmingham. Alas, in 1852, was without precedent in the industrial history of the United States, and the rush to Birmingham was paralleled only by the stampsed which followed such discoveries as the Comstock lode in Nevada and the Alaska gold fields. The iron ores of Alabama, while inferior in quality to those of Lake Superior, have the advantage of being near deposits of good cooking coal and of the limestone requisite for fuxing, so that Birmingham, the Pittsburgh of the south, can manufacture pig iron cheaper than any other district of the world.—Argonaut. Illusions. · A rude shock greets the idea that the testimony of eyewitnesses is especially reliable when one comes to study the laws of evidence. The majority of persons see what they 'think' they ought to see. If a house is reported haunted it is easier to see a ghost there than not. Possibly this accounts for the widespread belief that luminous appearances of one kind or another accompany earthquake shocks.

THE NEGRO FARMER A Paper That Helps People to Become Better Farmers is an Aid to the Church, the School and to the Secular and Religious Papers It has been decided to publish at Tuskegee Institute Post Office, Every-Other-Week for the present, a national farm paper to be known as THE NEGRO FARMER. It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers and of those who employ Negro labor. There is no other strictly farm newspaper in the world devoted to the interest of Negro farmers. Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, occupying an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual farm publication. It is proposed to circulate this paper among the 2,000,000 black farmers of the United States. The paper will be eight pages, of about the size of "The Country Gentleman." DR. BOOKER T.

The matter of location is not so vital with its commodity as with some classes of produce, in raising brawls it is oldom necessary, to drive to town sooner than once a week. Customers will be satisfied with a weekly service, provided it is regular. For this reason a poultry farm may be three or four miles out, where land sells at $75 to $100 an acre. With a dairy, or garden truck it is unprofitable to locate so far from a station, and where land is bought within a mile or two of a good town it costs $300 to $300 an acre. Location must be considered also if the owner has to go to the city daily. Broilers weighing two pounds or a little less will readily for 35 cents apiece. The cost of feeding is not over 5 cents on a farm. A profit of $25 to $30 per 100 is pretty fair. Hotels, restaurants, clubs and well to do private families are regular buyers, and the demand exceeds the supply. A little farm ought to produce 1,000 or 2,000 broilers every year. I know of a place of five acres about an hour's ride from Chicago, where not less than 2,500 chickens are produced annually, many of them being sold as broilers. The owner misses an acre of wheat and three acres of corn. He supplements this with table leaves and ground bone. Chicks got nothing but meal and breadcrumbs soaked in skimmed milk or dry, according to judgment, for the first three weeks. After this the variety of food is enlarged. Cornmeal, wheat, bolled potatoes and scraps of all kinds make a satisfactory diet for growing poultry. In dry weather they need a chance to run about. They may be confined to a building or yard the last week or ten days for fattening. Cornmeal, bolled WHAT ROTATION DOES. If a man's land is already rich he must keep it so. If it is yielding minimum crops he must increase its producing power. This may be accomplished by properly rotating crops, maintaining and increasing the humus content of the soil by returning all organic matter and growing leguminous crops. Further than this, there is scarcely a farm that would not be greatly benefited by plowing under some green manure crop. —Wyoming Bulletin. OPEN AIR POULTRY HOUSE. Good For the Fowls In All Weather, Not Except Cold Months. A correspondent of Orange Judd Farmer writes us follows, concerning open air poultry houses; My open air poultry house I like very much. The yards join the center of the house, making one house do for two pens. The openings are covered with poultry netting, thus, making the secure against prowers. Inside are muslin cinnamon stretched on frames to fit the openings. These are hinged at the top and hooked back to the inner roof when not in use. They are used only in bad weather. The roosts are arranged above a platform, which is also hinged, and can be let down to remove the droppings. The roosts themselves are made of sasafras, which is said not to harbor vermil, but I have found that it does just the same. The floors are covered FOULTRY COLONY HOUSE, WITH CANVAS FRONT FOR VENTILATION. with deep litter. In this the fowls scratch and sing and bunt for food. I whitewash the houses and keep them sweet and clean. The roofs are covered, with felt roofing, and three sides of the building are made perfectly tight, no cracks or knotholes. I found last winter during severe weather my fowls did much better in the open front houses than those in the other kind. There was noner a frozen comb in the open front house, while I found two of my best cockrelers with their combs badly frozen in houses supposed to be warmer. A small-hole is placed at the lower right hand corner for my little stock of ducks. It is closed at night. The ducks drop their eggs on the litter. Hint For Cabbage Growers.

Such things as shorts, cracked wheat, oatmeal mush and table scraps also produce a nice looking and palatable young chicken. Even in winter chickens ought to have a chance to exercise when the weather is bright. Few people keep their poultry free from vermin, and this is why so many fall at the business. Chickens are less hardy than ducks and geese, and if lousy there is no profit in raising them. After considerable experience I am able to keep poultry clean by providing plenty of dust-heaps in the yards, whitewashing coops and houses and occasionally applying kerosene or grease to floors and rooftops. A few to bacon leaves hung about the nests have a good effect. There are many good remedies, but the chief thing is vigilance. The clean and careful handling of chickens will tell in growth as well as quality. Therefore it pays to be thorough. At least one good incubator is necessary. I have made it a rule for several years to turn most of my egg production into poultry. Broilers at $4 a dozen pay better than eggs at 30 cents a dozen. But when one is in the business there will be a percentage of full grown chickens and also some proportion of eggs to market. Winter prices are invariably the highest, so that it is best to hatch as many of the summer eggs as possible and have a heavy supply of poultry around Christmas and, in fact, all winter. Broiler customers demand their supplies at all times of the year. The farmer needs to have a regular day for furnishing this commodity. If it is necessary to ship to a large city it is possible to have a hotel or club take the entire output. It is easier to make such arrangements than many would suppose. Have the quality right and the selling will be easy. THEY "KNOW IT ALL" It is strange' that any one should claim to know all about farming, which is one of the broadest and deepest subjects among men. When we contemplate what might be accomplished in plant growth and animal breeding if men know, we are apt to be overwhelmed with the ignorance of men upon scientific agriculture. And yet occasionally one may be found who thinks that he has learned all about farming - Farm and Ranch. BARREL NEST AND RUN. Give the Hens a Comfortable Place to Hatch Their Eggs.

On the top of the barrel is fastened heavy roofing paper. If this paper is nailed to cleats and fastened by wire it can be readily removed after the hatching season and used for years. The run is constructed of whole length plastering lath and made in sections, as shown in picture. At night a wide board is placed in front of the barrel, with an opening above sufficient to afford ventilation. The nest being on the ground, the egg receive plenty of moisture, and a better batch is assured.—Farm Journal. CRITTER WISDOM See to it that your breeding now has a good balanced ration. Don't go to the extreme of feeding her too much corn or barley or roots. Mighty easy to feed new corn in the hops, stalks and all, but you will find that if the corn is first run through the shredder the animals will eat it up clean. You can greatly improve the looks of your cows by taking a little care of their hoops and horns. A few moments spent with a coarse flap and a pair of pincers may change entirely the looks of an animal.

WOULD CURB LEGISLATION Wants "Chancellor-Sheriff" Jury Law and Small Board of Freeholders Act Made Mandatory. James Fairman Fielder, who became acting governor of New Jersey when Woodrow Wilson was elevated to the presidency, was inaugurated governor in Trenton in his own right and for a full term. Simplicity, total absence of orientation and a ringing address by the new executive, calling for economy and efficiency in the state government and many sweeping reforms, marked the ceremonies in the Taylor Opera House in Trenton. From midnight until noon New Jersey was without a head, the phrasing of the constitution ending the power of Acting Governor Leon Taylor, the youngest executive the state ever has had, at the stroke of twelve on Monday night. Jury reform and taxation reforms are two of the most important subjects urged for legislative action by the governor. He asks that the "Chain collar-Sheriff" jury law, passed by the last legislature with a referendum clause attached, be passed again in mandatory form so as to take it out of the realm of litigation, which is holding up the enforcement of the present law. Regarding taxation, he would repeal the Hillary maximum tax act, points the way to obtain competent assessments and thus to do away with much complaint, and seeks to insure that banks pay their share of the state's taxation. He points out that the referendum clause of the law, providing for small boards of freeholders, has invalidated that measure, and asks that it, too, be passed in mandatory form, as he believes it is desired by a large majority of the people of the state. Like the presiding officers of the two houses of the legislature, the governor invigored against useless introduction of bills and general swapping of the legislature machinery. He urged that few laws, but good and actually needed laws, be passed. In like manner he cautioned the legislators to keep expenditures within the state's income, and suggested that some commissions and offices might be combined or abolished, with good results. Other subjects discussed were prison reform, more careful administration of charitable institutions, adoption of two pending amendments to the constitution, preferential voting at the primaries and encouragement of agriculture. Governor Fielder sent to the senate the following nominations: Attorney general, John W. Wescott, Camden, to succeed Edmund Wilson. State road commissioner, Edwin A. Justice of the supreme court, Thomas W. Trenchard, Mercer county, resappointed. Circuit court judges, Frank P. Lloyd, Camden, reappointed; Luther A. Campbell, Bergen, to succeed Benjamin A. Vall.

John Even Tells How He Sent the Two Forty Dollar Bills. At much expense to the county John recently was returned to Muncie, Ind., to answer to a charge of wife desertion. Arraigned in court, he stoutly protested that, while necessity forced him to leave his family in order to obtain employment, he had sent various sums back to his wife for her support. "The state's case began to look rather shaky, because it was a matter of choice between the word of the wife and that of the husband, and the latter had noted certain dates on which he said he sent his wife money. At this point the court told a hand in the questioning. "John, what was the largest sum of money you ever sent to your wife at one time?" the prisoner was asked. "Well, judge, it was easily $00. said John after studying a moment. "How did you send this large sum. John," queried the court, "postal or express order, bank check or how?" "None of them ways," replied John. "I sent two forty-dollar bills in an envelope."—Philadelphia Ledger. Putting Them at Ears Procedence is not the only puzzle in official and social circles in any city, but to say the right thing at the right time is equally necessary. "To make mistakes in speech is suicidal," said former Assistant Secretary of State Malone. "Let it not be as in the case of Mrs. Brady, who gave a party, and when all the guests were in the parlor she entered with a beaming smile and said: "Do make yourselves at home, indies. I'm at home myself, and I wish you all were." — New York Tribune. Evading Responsibility. Two London cabbies were glaring at each other. "Aw, wow's the matter with you?" demanded one.

Hi Doolittle was the champion liar of his native village. One day He was arrested and brought before the local justice for chicken stealing. He pleaded guilty.

Stevenson Carried His Tall Hat Sir Silney Colvin, in a lecture on "Personal Romanticism of R. L. Stevenson," denied firmly that Stevenson had any infection. "It. L. S," said Sir Silney, "did once possess a frock coat and tail hat, which he acquired for the purposes of a wedding. Coming to London subsequently, he made the concession to my respectability of donning the coat and hat, and thus we walked down Piccadilly. But the hat was in Stevenson's hand, and as the gates of Burlington House closed on us, Stevenson was declaiming in vibrant voice and rich Scotch accent a chorus from Milton's "Samson Agonistes."—London Globe.

The holy carpet of Turkey is a gorgeous piece of red velvet embroidered with gold. It takes a year to make the carpet, and the sultan of Turkey then intrusts it to the Egyptian pilgrims to place on the tomb of the prophet at Mevya. At the end of that time it is replaced by another carpet and is returned to Cairo with great ceremony. The right to carry the carpet has been handed down from camel to camel in the male line for hundreds of years.—London Globe. Wink at Some Things "When you have mastered the gentle art of winking," said Lord Bencenfield, "you hold the key to success in your hands." Every one's personality is made up of trivial fallings and trivial talents. Foster the good qualities in your friends and subordinates and wink at those fallings so dear to their possessions. Not to see everything is a rule which will strengthen friendships and help you to get the best results from your fellow workers. The Crownning Miatake. A woman who writes a great deal for various publications recently enumerated the seven mistakes of matrimony. This recalls the faithful Italian servant who called at a nearby house and said to the owner, "There are twenty seven reasons why my master cannot visit you today. The first is, he is dead." And the bachelor group at our elbow says there may be seven mistakes of matrimony, but the first is getting married. -Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The maximum salary attributable by a "gerent de ville" is $300 a year. In view of the high cost of living in Paris this amount is inadequate to maintain a family in any degree of comfort, and the married members of the force have frequently to supplement their income as best they can. Some of them earn a few frames by working as market porters during their time off duty. Others do boot repairing, and there is one who does old tutoring jobs. Still, in spite of these hardships, there are always plenty of men eager to join the force, about ten candidates being available for every vacancy that occurs. Change of Role.

Though diving bells were taken to Ceylon in 1825 for use in the pearl fishery, neither they nor the European diving dress can compete with the naked native. Arab divers use a sort of horn clip with which to close their nostrils when under water, but the Ceylon diver holds his nostrils with his hand only until such time as he reaches the sea bottom. The average time that a Tamil remains below is between fifty and sixty seconds, while an Arab remains under water between eighty and ninety seconds. Occasionally men, either from greed or overestimation of their strength, collapse at the bottom and are brought up dead. The Unusual Way. "Yes, my daughter is going to marry young Flubdub."

Hamilton, who gained fame as an aviator by flying from New York to Philadelphia and return, died suddenly at his home in New York. His wife was aroused by Hamilton groaning, and she hurriedly summoned a physician, but the aviator was dead before the doctor reached the house. The cause of death was internal hemorrhage. Hamilton was twenty-eight years old. Hamilton had been ill the greater part of the last two years and recently suffered a nervous breakdown. His former home was in New Britain, Conn. During his career as an aviator he had many accidents. His collarsbone was broken twice, two ribs were fractured, his left arm was dislocated, his right kneecap fractured, both legs dislocated and he suffered other minor hurts. Engine Drops Into Mine Cave. Engineer Engene Lake and Fireman Thomas Smith had narrow escapes, and Brakeman John Donohue was partly buried when the earth under an engine on the Lehigh Valley road, at Pittston, Pa., dropped and permitted the engine and its tender to sink almost out of sight in a mine cave. The engine and tender were dropped on their ends and only the point of the pilot protrudes from the earth. Engineer Lake was running slowly, with Brakeman Donohue riding on the pilot, when the tracks gave way and the engine began to sink. Lake and Smith leaped to safety, but Donohue was wedged between the pilot and the earth, and it was necessary to dig him out with picks and shovels. He was severely bruised and cut, but will recover. Farmer and Wife Drown. While driving along Tulipchocken creek, about a mile above Reading Pa., Adam Anderson, a prosperous farmer of Tulipchocken, sixty-five years old, and his wife, sixty-five years old, were drowned in the creek. The bodies have not been recovered, all though grappling hooks were used. The aged couple had been invited to spend Saturday evening with a married daughter and hitched up their team to drive to the city. They took the road along Tulipchocken creek, and it is believed missed the road and drove into the creek and the strong current washed their bodies away. The dead horse was found on the breast of the Vanneck Paper Mill dam and the carriage was found entangled in underbrush some distance away. Gas Main Breaks; Ten Overcome. When a gas main broke, at Plymouth, near Wilkes-Barre, Pa., ten persons were overcome, all recovering after medical aid had been administered. Neighbors were attracted to the scene when Miss Della Evans ran from her home and fell unconscious in the yard. Men and women rushed into the house and opened the windows. Doctors were called and after working two hours with the patients pronounced them out of danger. This is the third break in gas mains to occur in one month, thirty people having been overcome. Jersey Jury Reform Law Valid. The New Jersey court of errors and appeals in Trenton upheld the constitutionality of the Chancellor-Sheriff jury reform law passed by the last legislature. The supreme court had previously declared the law, unconstitutional. Five persons were burned to death on Wednesday in Alpena, Mich., in a fire which destroyed the residence of Samuel Bloise. The victims were Mrs. Bloise, three children and her brother-in-law. M· Bloise, a fourteen-year-old son and an infant escaped. ITS $3.50 Recipe Free. For Weak Men.

NAMES GOETHALS TO RULE CANAL President's Order Puts Civil Rule Into Effect April L PRESENT BOARD TO GO Steps Will Soon Be Taken to Reorganize the Government of Canal Zone. President Wilson signed an executive order, putting into operation, on April 1 a permanent government for the Panama canal zone and naming Colonel George W. Goethals, chief engineer of the canal commission, as the first civil governor. In some quarters this action is looked upon as putting an end to consideration by Colonel Goethals of accepting the police commissionership of New York city, a post pressed upon him by Mayor Mitchel. Secretary of War Garrison made the announcement of Goethals's selection as he carried away the executive order from the White House. He said Colonel Goethals had not been informed officially, but that he would be as soon as his name was sent to the senate. Garrison said the cabinet meeting was devoted largely to a discussion of the Panama canal government. He added that the question of tolls had not been discussed and that the executive order merely makes provision for the collection of such tolls as are provided by law. The order puts into effect the Adamson act for the government of the zone. Steps will be taken within the next few days to prepare for the reorganization of the canal government under the provisions of the act. While no announcement was made, it is expected that the entire plan evolved by the secretary of war recalling the disposition of Colonel Gavin's brigades in the building of the canal will be carried out. A resolution to have charge of the formal ordering of the canal will be applied with Richard S. Metcalfe, at present chief commissioner of the zong, as by chiefman, and with Colonels Hedges and Gorgas as its other members. The president's order creates those departments in the canal zone government: Operation and maintenance; purchasing department; supply department; accounting department; health department, and an executive secretary. WILL PARADE WITH STATUE But McDevitt Can't Leave It In Street If Congress Rejects It. Major Sylvester, chief of the Washington police force, has given to John Jay McDevitt, of Wilkesbarre, Pa., a special permit to parade down Pennsylvania avenue on Feb. 3, when McDevitt arrives in the capital with his statue, which he will ask congress to accept for the nation. The permit does not give McDevitt the right to the capital grounds, because Major Sylvester wants to know what will become of the statue if congress refuses to accept it. He informs the "millionaire for a day" that the statue cannot remain on the street or in any public building over night: "Dutch" declares that if congress won't accept his image he will engage in a hotel for it and keep it there during his stay in Washington. LAST HANGING IN CHESTER CO. Gallows, 10 Years Old. Destroyed After Execution The last hanging ever to take place in Chester county occurred in West Chester, Pa., when Wilmore Potts, negro wife murderer, exploded his crime on the gallows. The scathed, having a record of 109 years and fifteen victims, was destroyed immediately after the execution. Twice Potts had received a respite, and his lawyers did not give up hope of a commutation of sentence until the last minute.
