PLANEVAL Dr. I. D. Burrell Stricken Suddenly Dies in Washington after Operation to Save His Life. "The House Upon the Hill"-Graphic Description of the Scenes at His Home in Roanoke. Ronnoke, Va., March 23.—The most palatial mansion in this city, rosting upon the brow of a hill in all of its transcendent loveliness, exceeding in cost and beauty, anything in this section ever owned here by a citizen of color, is without a master to-day. I made my way to this spot in the early morning after I had spent the night on a Pullman sleeping car. In the porch were two mammoth boxes of flowers, that I had ordered shipped the day before from Richmond as a testimonial of my personal bereavement and that of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia of which I, D. Burrell, M. D., had been an influential and honored member. performed. On Tuesday, he was doing well. The doctors were hopeful. The operation was a success, they said. But Dr. Burrell wanted to see his wife. He wanted to talk with her confidentially. He did this. He told her of some private matters and about—the widow hesitated then as she told the story and I never heard just what that last information was. He told her that he could not live. After the conversation had been ended, he said simply, "I waited until it was too late. Now I am ready to go." An acute attack followed. The physicians and the nurses hurried to the patient as he collapsed. In tell- THE WORLD MOVED ON. There was one of a smaller size from Washington, D. C. I tried the front door and I rang or attempted to ring the bell. The door was locked and the bell had been allenced. I paused to look around and I saw in the valley below a "steady stream" of colored humanity hurrying to work. But the master of this mansion was dead, and—the world moved on. This place was in striking contrast to what it was upon the occasion of my previous visit. The garage was to the right, and in there was a fine automobile used, almost exclusively for the pleasure of the mistress of the house and sometimes for the master when he took the notion, but he had taken his last jaunt in the machine.—its throbbing motor would interest him no more. THE SCENE IN THE REAR. I passed to the rear of the house and below saw the carriage house and the stable,—no signs of life here, save the Horse's movement as the animal at his morning meal oblivious and ignorant of the calamity that had overtaken the inmates of the house upon the hill. I wandered down the hill to the stable, in search of some living thing, somebody who was awake, some one who could give me some information as to how Burrell died. An old hostler was working behind the fence at the stable. He looked up at me surprised. "John Mitchell," I said simply. "I thought it was you, Mr. Mitchell. I'll go to the side door and see if I can get somebody up." He did so and in a few moments I had been admitted. MANY KIN FOLKS THERE A glance showed me that kid folks had come to town. Beds and couches improvised, showed that the cry of distress had brought a really response and that every available space in that palatial structure had been occupied by those who had come to shed a tear and extend sympathy to the stricken family. A few moments later I was unhered into the bed-room of the charming widow, who Jeepite her great sorrow had borne up manfully under the strain. A word and a glance and a hysterical outburst followed, while I sat down until the "storm" passed and I could learn what I wanted to know. WAS TAKEN ILL. Briely stated, it seemed that Doctor Burrell was taken ill on Tuesday, March 10th. Mrs. Burrell advised him to remain indoors. He diagnosed his own case, as indigestion. She watched the symptoms and she became alarmed. Two colored physicians, personal friends of the doctor, came in the afternoon and they accepted Dr. Burrell's diagnosis of his own case. As he grew worse they examined him closely and they and Doctor Burrell decided that the alliment was gallstones. The usual remedies failed. "Well," said Doctor Burrell, "they have done all for me that I would have done for any one else who might be in my fix, and there is but one hope and that is in an operation." HE COULD NOT COME The doctors tried to get Dr. Carson of the Freedman's Hospital at Washington, with whom they talked over long distance telephone to come to himnausea, but he said he could not leave there. He told them to bring Dr. Burrell to Washington. Accompanied by his wife, and Dr. J. H. Butternut, the party left Sunday, 14th inst., for Washington. The $250 mile trip was made without incident. The boat was compiled and the operation performel. On Tuesday, he was doing well. The doctors were hopeful. The operation was a success, they said. But Dr. Burrell wanted to see his wife. He wanted to talk with her confidentially. He did this. He told her of some private matters and about—the widow hesitated then as she told the story and I never heard just what that last information was. He told her that he could not live. After the conversation had been ended, he said simply, "I waited until it was too late. Now I am ready to go." An acute attack followed. The physicians and the nurses hurried to the patient as he collapsed. In telling it, she said, "They did everything—they used saline solution,—they did enough to kill him in the effort to save his life." Her grief overcame her and she indulged in weeping. She felt that all that could be done had been done and her aim and purpose were to show that the surgeons at the Freedmen's Hospital had resorted to herole treatment in the vain effort to retain that spark of life. LEAVING TIME. The story is soon told:—a body accompanied by a sorrowing wife reached Roanoke; a casket with its silent occupant across a corner in the front parlor; the scene of "the house upon the hill," and a funeral sermon at the Probystorian Church, of which he was a member. I had to leave at 12:10 P. M. Tues day the 23rd last. for Danville to fulfill an engagement previously arranged three weeks before. I had stopped with Mr. John H. Fowkos, 30-4th-Ave., N. W. and I left instructions with Col. U. S. G. Patterson of Lynchburg, District Deputy Grand Chancellor D. C. Johnson of Povahon tas, Va. and Rev. Thomas H. White, Grand Prelate, Clifton Forge, Va., all of whom I had summoned by telegraph. They were there to do their duty. I bid farewell to Mrs. M. H. Burrell and her associates and a few moments later was on my way to the station, meeting Rev. James H. Burke whose wrecked church was a sombre monument of a fire disaster. JOHN MITCHELL, JR: LOOK FOR HILL IN CALIFORNIA CITY Missing True Reformer Bank Cashier Said to Be Posting as Physician. Search for Reuben T. Hill, the defaulting cashier of the True Reformers' Savings Bank, is being quietly carried on in Los Angeles, Cal., it became known here today. So far as known in this city the Los Angeles police have not been asked to aid in the search. Thus far the search has been in the hands of investigators who are reporting their progress to private detectives here. Hill is reported to be masquerading in Los Angeles as a physician. Hill vanished from Richmond several years ago, when the bank of which he was cashier, an institution for colored people, closed its doors. Examination of the books showed, the police said, that Hill had misappropriated large sums of money from time to time. His peculiations were reported to be in the neighborhood of $40,000 or $50,000. Since his disappearance the Negro fugitive has been reported as living in a score of cities. A number of the rumors as to his whereabouts were carefully investigated by the Richmond police. At one time it was confidently believed he was in New York and a local police detective spent considerable time in that city investigating with the aid of New York detectives. Several months ago news was received by the police that a man positively identified as Hill had been arrested by a private detective in a small town near Louisville, Ky. The report resulted in the immediate dispatch to Kentucky of Detective-Sergeant Bailey. When Bailey arrived in the village he found a Negro in the calaboose under heavy guard. One glance at the prisoner who enough to convince Bailey that a miracle had been made. He reported that, aside from being sighted in one eye, the Negro under arrest here no resemblance to the missing criminal. Rewards aggregating several themes and dollars have been offered from time to time for Hill's arrest.—Richmond, Vt. News-Leader, March 16, 1914. The Late DR. I. D. BURRELL. Editor Clifford Speaks Plainly. (Martinaburg, W. Va., Pioneer Press) Anyone who knows John Mitchell, Jr., editor of The Richmond PLANET is well aware of his glitting proclivities which assailed, therefore no surprise is evinced by his intimates when they note the great victory he has won over Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green of the Knights of Pythias, and those who follow his dictates. The injunction granted our brave friend, by the U. S. Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, through Mr. Justice Gould, goes clearly into all of the questions involved in the controversy, and shows fully to any "The House Upon the Hill."

Barrell, Reenoke, Va. fair minded man that had the Supreme Lodge of Pythlians dealt justly with Mr. Mitchell and the Virginia Pythlians, there would have been no necessity for any recourse to a court of justice for a final adjustment of matters.

Columella. a Spanish-Roman traveler and writer of the first century A. D. said that for successful farming just three things were essential—knowledge, capital and love for the calling. As true today as it was when written, the fact that knowledge is essential is too often lost sight of. Men who have succeeded in other lines of work or in none enter agriculture and fail for the lack of it, then christen it "hard luck." Had Columella been inclined to be a maker of epigrams he would probably have added to his statement that knowledge, capital and love for the calling are essential, the no less true statement that lack of the first in apt. to result in loss of the second and third.—Better Farming. --HELPS TO AGRICULTURE. Many Animals and Birds Are Good Friends of the Farmer. Predaceous animals and birds have an important function to perform in their capacity as natural enemies to crop destroying insects and pests, according to the biological survey of the department of agriculture. The annual damage to crops by insect and mammal pests in the United States now amounts to many millions of dollars, which is the result largely of the encroachment of new insect enemies and rodent pests and the destruction by man of the natural enemies of these crop destroying pests. If meadow mice were always present the red tailed hawk would rarely touch other food. It is when their normal food is source that predatory birds and animals are from necessity forced to take what they can find and thus become trespassers on man's property. The coyote and great horned owl in rabbit infested regions and in vineyards, orchards, meadows or gardens overrun by field mice are among the best friends of man, but on the other hand in thickly settled regions comparatively free from rabbits and mice both have to be summarily dealt with, as does the coyote in sections where sheep raising is an important industry. The mink is indefatigable in its search for meadow mice and other marsh loving rodents. The weasel, while individually it has acquired the poultry habit, is one of nature's most efficient checks upon the hordes of meadow mice and other rodent crop destroyers. The skunk readers important service by destroying immense numbers of mice, white grubs, grasshoppers, crickets, cutworms, hornets, wasps and other noxious forms. The badger is valuable in destroying ground squirrels, prairie dogs, gophers and other burrowing animals, and farmers should bear in mind that hawks and owls feed largely on noxious rodents and the larger insects, such as grasshoppers, crickets and May beetles. There are two kinds of hawks that should be kept in check—namely, the sharp skinned and Cooper variety, which feed almost entirely on wild birds and poultry. Device For Feeding Hogs. The illustration shows a handy hog feeder which will save the farmer much trouble. Make a tube with inch boards about three and a half feet. RANDY FOR FEEDING HOOS. high. Place this at middle of trough. Four swill through this tube, and you will not be bothered by the hogs in their eagerness to get the swill—American Agriculturist. Protable Chickens Chickens hatched out in February and March are the chickens that fill up the pocketbook. It is such chickens, too, that make the early fall pullets and lay eggs in November and December, when eggs soar in price. The Bister States.

"There are none so blind as those who will not see" Colored men must observe high ideals and act in accordance with fundamental right principles in order to maintain self-respect and enlist the sympathy and support of the best people, regardless of color in this country. They cannot properly complain of unfair treatment of themselves by a certain class of white people, and then when vested with power, practice upon each other the very injustice of which complaint is made in others. The opportunities afforded colored men of intelligence and learning in the fraternal organizations of the country should be used to demonstrate our ability for self-government. The best class of white people should be imitated and not the worst classes. When we observe the actions of some of our educated people their conduct is disheartening. Yet, we know that the great body of the colored people is all right. We were induced to make these remarks after observing the attitude of the officer of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A., A. and A., last Baltimore last August. In a wild scramble for money, they threw discretion to the winds. Let us see. Under the laws of the Order each Grand Lodge has exclusive, original jurisdiction over the subordinate lodges and the members attached to the same. The Supreme Lodge or its officers cannot tax the members of a lodge in a state having a Grand Lodge. The Constitution provides a representative tax of $25 on each Supreme Representative to the Supreme Lodge. As no State has less than two Supreme Representatives or more than four, the tax was not less than $50.00 per term or more than $100.00 per term. For this the only return is the password. The salaries and traveling expenses of the Supreme Chancellor and other officers had been increased. The Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal warned the Supreme Lodge of these reckless expenditures and for this he was put out of office. The Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia protested and for this the Supreme Chancellor suspended and put out of the Order, not only the Grand Lodge, but also the subordinate lodges and the members attached to the same, although he had no power over any but the Grand Lodge. The new constitution which requires a two-thirds vote to adopt was alleged to have been adopted. One test vote disclosed the fact that there were 51 ayes, 14 nays with 53 members of the Supremo Lodge absent. Of the 51 votes, 20 were office-holders and 8 Deputy Supreme Chancellors appointed by Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green; with the power to vote. This loft 22 Supreme Representatives out of an elected membership of 90, all of whom had been in Baltimore to attend the session, but they were tired out, for the Constitution was finally "adopted" after 9 o'clock Saturday night, after a week's deliberations. All that a Grand Lodge receives from the Supreme Lodge is the password. The password is a word framed and promulgated, by the Supreme Chancellor. In order to pay high salaries and running expenses, for each Grand Lodge pays its own endowment and defrays its own expenses, the Supreme Lodge with a majority of the elected Supreme Representatives absent made an increase in taxation. It was done under the guise of a ten cent and a five cent tax on each member. As it was only for a password, the value of a password may be estimated from the following statement of facts: Alabama's biennial tax was $100. It was changed to $1440.00, an increase of $1340.00 per term. Arkansas' biennial tax was $100.00. It was changed to $1,126.20, an increase of $1,026.20. California's biennial tax was $50.00. It was changed to $65.25, an increase of $15.25. Colorado's biennial tax was $50.00. It was changed to $46.50 a decrease of $5.50, but as the membership increases will pass the $100 limit. The District of Columbia's biennial tax was $50.00. It was changed to $53.35, an increase of $8.35. Copy of Injunction. y of the Injunction granted the Grand of Virginia, at Washington, D.

This cause coming on to be heard upon the bill of complaint, the affidavits in support thereof, the rule to show cause, and the answer, it is, upon consideration thereof, this second day of February, 1914 by the Court— ADJUDGED, ORDERED and DECREED that the defendants and each of them and their officers, agents and attorneys, and all others on their behalf, be and they are hereby restrained, during the tendency of this suit, or until the further order of the Court, from declaring or treating the fraternal charter of the plaintiff corporation as revoked and from declaring or treating the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of the jurisdiction of Virginia, as disclosed; and from declaring or treating the lodges subordinate to the plaintiff in the State of Virginia and the members attached to the same as not entitled to the rights and privileges of members the order of the defendant corporation, and from calling members elsewhere to regard and treat such subordinate lodges and members as not so entitled; and from attempting to enforce the decree or enactment of the Supreme Lodge, importing to revoke the charter of the plaintiff and to dissolve the said Grand Lodge, of the jurisdiction of Virginia; and from circulating any proclamations or letters addressed to the Grand Lodges, subordinate lodges and members of the order, calling attention to or calculated or intended to carry into effect and enforce the attempted revocation of the plaintiff's fraternal charter and dissolution of said Grand Lodge; and from setting up or attempting or purporting to set up, within the State of Virginia, a Grand Lodge, other than the plaintiff, of the Knights of Pythias of the order of the defendant corporation; and from doing any other act or thing on the assumption that the said Grand Lodge of the State of Virginia has been dissolved or that its fraternal charter has been revoked. assessed biennially ($9,258.75) nine thousand, two hundred and fifty-two dollars and seventy-five cents and the District Deputy Supreme Chancellors are not assessed as much as a penny. The new constitution alleged to have been adopted at the last session requires all Grand Lodges to surrender their present state charters of incorporation and to reincorporate in the name of the Supreme Lodge. This would place all of the real-estate, money in the treasury and other property under the direct control of the Supreme Lodge. It can now be seen why Virginia and her Supreme Representatives were not wanted in the Supreme Lodge. It may be well to acquire how will the Supreme Representatives who were present explain all of these things to their constituents? What induced them to support these measures? Were they asleep, hypnotized or absent when these things took place? Who can defend it? In fact, how can anybody explain it? If the taxation is increased, then the benefits should be increased. But what did Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal C. K. Robinson, who knows more about the internal affairs of the Supreme Lodge than any other person in the United States tell the Supreme Lodge? In his report, he said: "At the last session, I warned you of the condition which confronted you and urged you to prepare to meet the crisis. The conservative men of the convention saw the impending danger and sought to correct it by presenting remedy after remedy, all of which efforts failed. I have no criticism to offer us to the action of the majority at that time, but I feel my solemn duty to begin call your attention to the deplorable condition of your treasury at this time. The salaries of the officers of the Supreme Lodge have not been paid since September, 1912 and with the sanction proves at Baltimore you will find an enormous deficit, you can only be met by who is interested and proper completion of the Order." (Seal) A TRUE COPY—Test J. R. YOUNG, Clerk. by F. E. Cunningham, Asst. Clerk. Texas' biennial tax was $100.00. It was changed to $1,500.00, an increase of $1,400.00. Virginia's biennial tax was $100.00. It was changed to $861.90, an increase of $761.90. West Virginia's biennial tax was $100.00. It was changed to $375.00, an increase of $275.90. What is the amount of this taxation? ($18,520.50) Eighteen thousand, five hundred and twenty dollars and fifty cents. How much increase is this new taxation over the old taxation? ($16,124.00) Sixteen thousand, one hundred and twenty-four dollars. What will the Grand Lodges and subordinate lodges receive, in return for this large amount of money paid over to Supreme Lodge officers? The pass-word. This is not all. At the session of the Supreme Lodge at Indianapolis, the Supreme Chancellor appointed 25 Deputy Supreme Chancellors; giving them the power to vote and extending to them the voting strength of six states, some of which paid as high as $2,400.00 per term for the pass-word. This was in violation of the Constitution of the Supreme Lodge. The records show that 24 Deputy Supreme Chancellors were appointed by the Supreme Chancellor at Baltimore last August. He had previously ruled that they had the right to vote. These twenty-four deputies, if present at the next session of the Supreme Lodge will have the voting power equal to that of Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Tennessee and Alabama.

Robinson was put out of office and the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia, that backed up his plea for retrenchment and reform was put out of the Supreme Lodge. Was the Grand Lodge, K. of P. put back into the Supreme Lodge? Yes, by the Supreme Court at Washington How was this done? Because the Supreme Lodge, being incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia is subject to the courts there. This Supreme Court is higher than the Supreme Lodge. Haa Virginia paid the unlawful tax levy? No, but it has tendered all of the money for lawful tax levies, which amount was $100.00. Can the Supreme Lodge officials disregard the injunction and keep the Grand Lodge K. of P. of Virginia out of the Supreme Lodge? No, not during the pendency of this suit or until the Supreme Court revokes the restraining order or injunction What will be the result if other Grand Lodges refuse to pay the unlawful taxes? They can be auspended by the Supreme-Chancellor and their charters revoked by the Supreme Lodge. Can they get back into the Supreme Lodge again, without paying the unlawful taxes? Oh, yes, they can come back by the "injunction route," just as Virginia has done and at much less cost. In fact, it would be cheaper to get the injunction than it would be to pay the tax. What is the penalty for violation of an injunction? Fine or imprisonment or both. The Supreme Court usually metes imprisonment, commonly known as "jail punishment." What is the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia's contention? That it has paid all taxes lawfully assessed against it. It refuses to pay any taxes unlawfully assessed against it. How shall the question be settled? By the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, at Washington, when upon the plea of the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia is investigating the facts and will render a decision in keeping with its findings. Can the facts herein cited be verified? Yes. Where? By examining the minutes of the Supreme Lodge at Baltimore and by reading the Supreme Statutes, alleged to have been adopted at the same session. Is the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia in favor of peace? Yes, and it believes this is the surest way of getting peace. We conclude with the words of Bunyan: "I have determined—the Almighty God being my help and my shield—yet to suffer; if frail life might continue so long, even until the mos shall grow over my eyebrows, rather than violate my faith and my princlips."

SATURDAY.....MARCH 28, 1914. THE QUESTION OF SUFFRAGE. The fight for Woman Suffrage was not successful last week in the United States Senate. The vote to submit to the States a constitutional amendment to the Constitution of the United States, permitting women to vote was lost by a vote of 35 ayes and 34 noes. It required a two-thirds vote of the membership of the Senate to secure favorable action upon the resolution. This meant the affirmative vote of 64 senators. It will be seen then that the Woman Suffragists had 29 votes less than the number needed. Senator Vardaman of Mississippi did not lose the opportunity to emphasize his hostility to the colored people of the country. He offered an amendment to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment. This amendment was offered for the purpose of disfranchising the colored people of the United States. The vote on Senator Vardaman's amendment was rejected by a vote of 48 to 19. The Senators, voting in favor of repealing the Fifteenth Amendment included Senator Martin and Senator Swanson of Virginia. Their names are: Bryan, Florida; Gore, Oklahoma; James, Kentucky; Lea, Tennessee; Lee, Maryland; Martin Virginia; Myers, Montana; Overman, North Carolina; Ransdell, Louisiana; Reed, Missouri; Sheppard, Texas; Shields, Tennessee; Smith, Georgia; Smith South Carolina; Swanson, Virginia; Tillman, South Carolina; Vardaman, Mississippi; West, Georgia; Williams, Mississippi—19. Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi offered a resolution providing that only white women be permitted to vote. It was lost by a vote of 44 to 21. This ended the contention. It brought into the limelight the race question and showed just how many United States Senators were ready and willing to wipe from the Constitution the practical results of the War between the States. The colored folks may have a breathing spell for it has been demonstrated that with the Democratic Party in absolute control of the government, they are not able as yet to do positive injury to one of the kind, most paces of people on the face of the globe.

Charles Young, a Colored man, was lynched to night two miles from town by a mob of caruged citizens, and several bullets were fired into the swifling body as the crowd dispersed. Young was accused of attacking Mrs. Anderson Wilson, a white woman, sixty years old, early to day. It is charged he afterwards robbed the house, beat the woman and threaten to kill her. The negro escaped. Bloodhounds failed to follow his tracks, as he used turpentine to kill the scent. Young was captured this afternoon near Mapleville, Ala., by a posse of officers. The local people were immediately aroused and threats of lynching were made openly. A call was sent to Governor O'Neal for troops, and a company was hurried from Montgomery by special train. Before the posse of officers with the colored man could reach Clinton, and before the troops' arrived the mob of citizens took possession of the colored man and lynched him. Mrs. Wilson is in a critical condition. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. Another Court in Danyille—Grand Worthy Counsel Mitchell Org anize—Fine Initiation.

Williams of Lynchburg in the March number of the Virginia Journal of Education: Because of the countless number of steps in the ladder of program, there are many whose preparations from a vantage point, up the ladder it may be discerned, is not complete. They embody themselves in the great work of uplift, and respond to the emergencies that call them forth. And a glance beneath them will not maintain their inability to supply the needs of those whose demands equal the measure of their attainments. The community in which they labor, as well as the special part of it to which they devote themselves are co-debtors to messengers of progress, for while they are rendering service for the advancement of the one, their work of correction and amelioration is lessening the burdens of the other. The Mechanics Saving North-West Cor. Third Messengers of progress, really reconcile those qualities in those with whom they labor deserving praise, and with the same liberality of judgment, quickly consider those tendencies worthy of djadain to the realm of toleration until discretion dreams an unpleasant feasible. Obstacles are found to be an asset. The waits of opposition which to the uninitiate appear insurmountable are to them opportunities for testing their stamina, for they are compelled to caccour them and thus turn them into blessings. Teachers in the rural districts benefit mostly through opposition. It is they who must bear the burden which becomes lighter as the method of rectification which they disseminate makes them grocer. It is they who fortify themselves with the weapon of responsibility, which successfully resists and finally vanquishes the obstruction monster which at times becomes formidable. It is they who hold themselves responsible as accessories before the combination of deeds, which give pleasure, and after the commission of deeds which give pain. It is they who recognize accountability by manner of speech, way of carriage, and oftentimes by the painful severance of tendons which while not, perhaps, personally degrading, are yet of doubtful assistance to those whose institutions are not fixed. Financial remuneration is of secondary importance in comparison to the emountment received from a sat-liked confidence. These messengers yearn for service that will afford the greatest good to the greatest number. Their sympathy is with the uneducated muses in whose interest they summon all their powers to accelerate the march forward. Forsooth, they should be emulated rather than piloted for through the public spirit be apathetic and the sphere of action isolated, through perseverance they find ample scope for the exercise of their real. The majority of messengers of progress enter the field of uplift for what they consider their life work, while others use it as a vehicle to趴伏 of higher service. But to all is given a talent, and it behooves them to enlarge its influence so that when the good man returns, he will hostow upon each one the ancient bondedion of gratitude: "Well done, then good and faithful servant."

First Baptist Church. Rev. Dr. Blinga, pastor, for eight days or more we have been in midst of a great revival conducted by the Rev. W. H. Skipwith, better known as the "Singing Evangelist." For nearly forty-two years I have been the honored pastor of this church and people and have had a number of brethren to help us in these special meetings, who rendered most excellent services but never have we had a more efficient helper, than this our Brother Skipwith. And as an "Evangelist" I have never heard a more scriptural, preacher in my life, he is really an orthodox. The fire of the Holy Spirit is really burning in and about our church; thus far there are more than sixty conversions, with seventy or more anxious souls. "Crying Lord save me." Our brother proaches his farewell sermon for us Sunday night next, March 29th, after which we hope to be able to report more than one hundred conver-ions. Farmville (Va.) News. Rev. Adams received the intellige- gence from Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr. of the death of Dr. J. D. Burrell of Roanoke, Va. Medical Register of Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia. The said intelligence was quite shooting to the K. of P. Courts of Calanthe and the many friends here. The Public School term here will be extended six or eight weeks longer this year than it has been for several years. This speaks well for the princi- cal. Mr. H. Coleman, his teachers and patrons. Our people are begin- ning to learn if their children are to be educated in the future; they are to do more along the financial line. They can see the affairs of the government are rapidly passing into the hands of the young white man who does not seem to take the same interest in our people as did the white man years gone by. Something must be done by us to show this young white man of to-day that we are worthy of his consideration and that he should see to it that we get the proper consideration before the law in this country. Now, the question is, what should we do? In answer to this we would say, we should better our condition morally, mentally, financially and spiritually. When this is done it will not be so hard to get the proper consideration along all lines in every avenue of life as well as before the courts of the land. Rev. J. W. Harmon of the A. M. B. Church will preside his farewell harmon on 19th of April. PAYING TELLER A DOLLAR BANKED IS A DOLLAR SAVED UNTIL YOU NEED IT CHANCE OF A LIFETIME presents itself. All that is needed is a little cash.

The young fellow felt moved to protest to his father. He had a sneaking ambition to be a rounder himself, but he didn't think that a chap's dong ought to be in for that sort of thing, and what he had heard was worrying him a good deal. He approached the subject diffidently. "Sure, old fellow. Sit down and have a cigar. Now fire ahead." "Well, I bear that you have put your name up for membership in the Afraid to Go Home club." "That's right. It's a fine club, everybody tells me—comfortable, congenial, and all that." "Um! But way, didn't you know that it was the sportiest club in town?" "Well then, excuse me, dad, but what do you want to join for?" "I'll tell you. I want to be a member so that I can blackball you when you apply. And I'm on the list ahead of you. Do you get me? Have another cigar? Goodbye!" - Cleveland Plain Dealer The Second Mile. Has it been a year lot of time?

One of the bosses at Blank's Locomotive works had to lay of an argumentative Irishman named Pat, so he saved discussion by putting the discharge in writing. The next day Pat was missing, but a week later the boss was passing through the shop, and he saw him again at his lathe. Going up to the Irishman, he demanded merely: "Didn't you get my letter?" "Tia, sur, OI did." said Pat. "Did you read it?" "Sure, sur, OI read it inside and OI read it outside," said Pat. "and on the inside yes said OI was tired, and on the outside yes said, 'Return to Blank's Locomotive works in the days.'"—Lipincott. Talking Shoes Like the native Africans the south sea islanders are very proud if they can get hold of a pair of European shoes. They are especially gratified if they acquire a pair that squeak, or, as the Africans call them, shoes that talk. A story is told of a south sea islander who went into church with shoes merrily a squeak. He walked proudly to the front and, removing the shoes, dropped them out of the window so that his wife might also have the pleasure of coming in with "talking" shoes—East and West. They Got In. Thoroughly convinced that he was a man about town in the most terrific sense of the phrase, he was wont to act accordingly. "Yes, Jake's joint is closed," he remarked one night to a friend from out of town, "but—follow me! I can get you in there, all right, even though it is long after hours. Just follow me, and don't say a word." Butably impressed, the tenderfoot fell into step. They paused before the dark, hidden side door of a well known restaurant. From within came jinking of music, popping of corks, laughter-all the assorted, expressions of night life in a great city. The man about town, cautioning his friend to stand back and be very quiet, tapped on the side door. No answer. Another tap. Then a wafter threw the door open. "Say, Jim," whispered the man about town. "Just go and tell Jake to come here a moment, will you?" Exit Jim. "It'll be all right," murmured the man about town. The tenderfoot felt convinced that he was seeing metropolitan life in its brutal rawness. Jake, the proprietor, presently appeared from somewhere in the fascinating interior of his restaurant and stepped to the side door. "It's me, Jake. Can we get in?" asked the man about town in a hoarse, horrible whisper. "Burn," answered Jake, "but for the love of Mike why didn't you walk right in through the front door? It's open." Brake Up the Game. While finally persuaded his aunt to play train with him, the chairs were arranged in line, and he issued orders: "Now you be the engineer, and I'll be the conductor. Lend me your watch, and get up into the cab." Then he hurried down the platform, timepiece in hand. "Pull out, there, you met Braided, pale faced Jay!" he shouted. "Why, Willie!" his aunt exclaimed in amusement. "That's right; chew the rag!" he retorted. "Pull out! We're five minutes late already." They have had to forbid his playing down by the tracks.—Everybody's. HIS FIRST HONORS. They Were Political and Came With a Queer Sort of Compliment. At a dinner party in Washington the other night Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, told how he came to receive his first political honors. "I had been a worker in the vineyard for a long time," he said, "and had never sought or expected any preferment from the party organization. I was just a good working Democrat. When Mr. Bryan began to encourage a public man and as a Democratate leader I got interested in him and became one of his champions and supporters. I became an ardent free silver man and a believer in unlimited collage at the table of 10 to 1." "When it was time to select delegates to the Democratate national convention at Chicago in 1881 there was a fellow in my town who wanted to be sent as a delegate mighty badly. He went around to the state chairman to see what he could do. "Jim,' he said. I want to be sent as one of the delegates to Chicago. "Well," said the chairman, "how do you stand on free silver? "Oh, well. I guess I rocked. I be have in it all right, but I didn't no fool about it. "Well," answered the chairman, "you can't go." "So they sent me," concluded Daniels. "New York Post." Fight On. Let the man who has to make his fortune remember this maxim. Attacking is the only secret. Dare and the world yields, or if it best you sometimes dare it again, and it will succumb. The way. One Enough For Him Cubbins in London are laughing over a recent conversation between a weather expert and a cabinet minister. The minister complained about the other's weather forecasts not always being reliable, and the reply was that weather forecasting would be much easier if it were known more definitively the sort of weather that was happening in the Atlantic. "Now," said the apt. "If only we had fortified out in the Atlantic, another island like Ireland." "Heaven forbid!" calculated the minister, who had been greatly harassed over the home rule dispute. Brought Phil May to Time Phil May, the most geniuses, was erratic, and it was not easy to get him to deliver his drawings on time. Our Michael Thomas, who had commissioned some special drawings for the Lon- PHIL MAY IN THE SPECIAL NUMBER of the GRAPHIC HE GOT ANOTHER JOLT. don Graphic, secured their delivery in a strikingly original and highly successful way. When May woke up in the morning he found a company of sandwich men pacing up and down before his sat carrying boards that announced Phil May drawings in a special number of the Graphic. Wherever May went that day the sandwich men followed him. When he chartered a hammock they chartered hammocks, and finally, as May told the story, he was driven to taking the first train down to the seaside. When he arrived there he got another jolt, for the first thing that met his eyes were the Graphic sandwich men parading outside his hotel. He went inside, sat down and finished the drawings. Thus 'importunity and Carmichael Thomas conquered.' As Innocent Victor Watson, on information and belief, alleges that Frank Thompson, son of the late Kennan Thompson, is singularly unspotted by contact with this more or less soulful world. The other night Thompson was approached upon the street by an old friend of his father. "Ah, air," said the stranger, "many's the time I've seen your dear old dad play in 'The Old Homestead.' Greatest actor that ever lived, air! Don't deny it." "He and me," said the stranger earnestly, "were the greatest jaws." Mr. Thompson was politely interested. The stranger contained at some length. Then he bade Thompson goodby. "Er," said he after shaking hands, "I hate to mention it, but could you slip me a buck?" "A buck!" queried Mr. Thompson vaguely. "Certainly. But how much is a buck?" "Three dollars," said the stranger.—New York Gold. FURY BROKE LOOSE. Tourists in Milan Thought It Means Wholehearted Appreciation. "There is something most reckless to the colder northern races in the exoticable and volatile Latinas," said George Hamlin recently. "We had a delightful exhibition of this quality when we first reached Milan. We entered a café celebrated as much for the artists who frequent it as for its excellent culine and had badly given our order when our attention was attracted to a nearby table, where two others were engaged in what was evidently a very serious discussion. "Presently the voices grew louder and more passionate, and the two men looked positively violent as they half rose from their seats and glared at each other feriously across the table. We became decidedly unasy. Vendettas, stilters and such Italian术enomies are all picturesque enough in grand open, but we did not care to have our dinner punctuated with deeds of commerce. "In the meantime all the other dimers had stopped eating and were gazing with interest toward the scene of education. Gradually they abandoned cell phones altogether and came over to take photos with the disputants. I loved the waiters forks their posts and after bed themselves to one side on the other. Surely we thought anxiously 'this quarrel must involve the house of the whole nation.'" "By this time the din was fearful. A sense of more of excited men were shouting at each other across the small table, brandishing furious fists in each other's faces and looking like blood-shed and murder. Our soup cooked un-tasted before us; our appetite had vanished. We clung to our chairs, too terror strained to the fire for our lives, even though we felt a desperate convulsion that a massacre was at hand and our minutes were numbered." "Finally one of the crowd pounded on the table vigorously and yelled some insults which sounded like a puck of the jackets exploding. There was an instant's science, and then the whole lot of them, waiters and all, bolted out the front door. "We breathed an immensurable relief. At least the scene of slaughter was transferred and our skins were safe. Just then our waiter reluctantly returned, though he made it plain that his duty to us was a decided bore. "Way it a fond, a vendetta? we asked, and can't the police stop them before they kill each other? "And the waiter replied in his own poggy brand of English. 'It be onew that they not agree which be the shortest road to La Seal, and so half they go one way and half they go the other to make it prove.'" Argonaut. True Success Is Unselfish. It is indeed one of the highest rewards of success if one understands what success means to be in the way of putting others on the same road.—H. W. Mabie A Great Catcher. Big Em Gross was once the star catcher of the National league and perhaps the heaviest hitting catcher that ever denounced a glove. Em was a great catcher, a wonderful thrower and a grand hitter, but he had his weakness, and that was in catching foul flies. He tried for everything in sight, ran circles around the ball and sometimes speared it, but he never felt at ease when one of those tall twisting tools went up. He was catching in Providence one day when a Philadelphia batter poked up a gry that looked 500 feet high. There was a wild blowing, and the B. BLAIR ball begin to twirl around in circles, with IAm doing a merry go round under it. Finally, soothing that it was escaping, he made a desperate effort to turn quickly and fell flat on his back. Instinctively he threw up his feet and hands to protect his face. The ball struck the side of his shoe, then it bounded up into the air, and as it fell again Em reached out and caught it. And next morning the Providence papers had the nerve to say he did it on purpose. Chicago Tribune ORCHARD OCCASIONALS An Orange range bidge is an ideal breeding place for San Jose scale. Judicious pruning is one of the secrets in growing good grapes. Pears are adapted to a clay soil, peaches to a sandy soil, while apples do best on a light loamy soil. If you have a poor seedling pear or apple tree it may be entirely made over by top grafting. The young trees should be banked with earth, which will keep water from settling about them. An orchard will live longer, bear better and be more profitable by being well cultivated and enriched. Keep the orchard land in good tilth. The trees can be set as soon as the front leaves the ground. 14222 Collet, the mattress of draperies, has made a new skirt, plaited into fullness over the hips and then held down with tassel trimming, which bids fair to become a bird's fad.

This may be due to the crise for futurist innovations, this school of art being the advocate of gayey in attire. Under these circumstances it is likely to be a trying time for the woman who has no eye for color, for some of the combinations are bizarre in the extreme and must be adapted to suit individual requirements. Speed of Birds According to C. A. Mitchell, the speed of birds is often greatly overrated. The swift, for instance, has been credited with a speed of 180 miles an hour, and the popular imagination compares the flight of a sparrow hawk with that of a cannon ball. Independent of aid from the wind, Mr. Mitchell thinks forty miles an hour is about the fall speed of a good plane flying a long distance. The homing pigeon can be raised on under fairly easy conditions to make sixty miles an hour, considerably more. On a short course a sparrow hawk can catch a booster, but the sparrow hawk frequently falls to catch smaller birds that form its prey—London Express. ```markdown ``` This dainty dance frock is frilled with lustrous pussy willow taffeta in bermuda pink, velvet with shadow face.

A noted Sunday school worker living in Kansas was once asked to talk to the children of a Sunday school on the subject of temperance. He is very earnest in the cause and wear a bit of blue ribbon as a badge of his principles. Riding before the school, he pointed to his bit of blue ribbon and said "Now, can any of you children give me a reason why I am not a drunkard?" There was no reply for a moment.

George Westinghouse Sucumbs to Heart Trouble. Was President and Founder of Great Electric Company and Inventor of Air Brake. George Westinghouse, sixty-seven years old, president and founder of the Westinghouse, Machine and Electric company, with home offices in Pittsburgh, Pa., died in New York. He had been confined to his bed for some time. A member of Mr. Westinghouse's staff said that he had been suffering with a heart complaint for over three months. Later it grew worse, and on Monday last he had a relapse, that left him weak. Had George Westinghouse achieved nothing more than the invention of the airbrake, his name would have taken rank with those of great American inventors. But he has done more—much more—along the lines of controlling electrical current, utilizing various natural forces for commercial purposes, both generally and specifically, and has built up in the course of a long lifetime of intense activity so vast a business, here and in Europe, that his name is written indelibly on the world's tablets of fame. Westinghouse was born in Central Bridge, N. Y., Oct. 6, 1846, the son of George Westinghouse and Emmeline Vedder Westinghouse. His father was the proprietor of the New York Agricultural works, at Schenectady, and from almost the age of ten George, Jr., was an earnest and eager "worker" in his parent's shops. When the Civil War broke out young Westinghouse enlisted in the United States volunteers, with which he served from June, 1863, to November, 1864. He then became an assistant engineer in the United States navy, in which capacity he served until August, 1865. He experimented first with a railroad frog, which turned out a success. The air-brake came next. It is said the idea dawned when he personally saw two freight trains collide head-on, although this point is not definitely anthenticaed. Westinghouse next applied the compressed air principle to railroad switches and then to signals with such success that even the unwilling Commodoro Vanderbilt was forced to recognize the value of "wind" properly applied. Vanderbilt Riches to Wife and Child The will of George W. Vanderbilt as filed for probate in New York city, leaves his entire estate, estimated at $20,000,000, to his widow and only daughter, Cornellia.

Girl "Mindspend" and New Married. The Edition, Md., dispatch that Joseph Graceen and Jennie Picard, of Norristown, Pa., had been married, marks the climax of events following the abduction of the girl in Norristown on Feb. 7. Either Joseph Grancee or his cousins were believed to be responsible, but nothing could be proved. It is said that the marriage of the couple was opened by the girl's father. Jennie Picard, seventeen years old, was kidnapped after her young brother was frightened away from her side on a road near Northtown. When the boy told his father that he recognized the wagon as belonging to Grantee, the father sought out the man, who denied any knowledge of the whereabouts of the girl. Picard stabbed him in the groin and fled. He was captured by his victim's father, who pursued him with a shotgun. Picard later was liberated on ball. Body Buried. Three Years Not Father's. Charles N. King, of Bittererville, near York, Pa., left home three years ago, leaving his wife and eight children. Shortly afterwards word was received by the family that he had been killed on the Pennsylvania militia near Harrison and that the body --- known word from Akron, Ohio, that the fighter was alive and that city, correspondence has been started. It is more than likely that the father will return in a short time. Where body was buried for that of Charles N. King is a mystery. U. S. Army Air Corps The headquarters of the United States Air Force company, voted in New York by the up to its affairs and have it out of business. Stockholders in the other business companies are already anxiously inquiring how long it will be before they follow suit. The first direct result of the government's competition and the reduction of 15 per cent in express rates therefor will be to have thrown 15,000 employees of this company out of work by the time its liquidation is completed. Its yearly payroll is about $1,000,000. "We could have stood the competition of the parcel post as originally planned," said President Roberts. "But we cannot stand it as at present constituted, when it is carrying parcels of almost unlimited weight." Saya There is "Fortune Telling Trust." According to "Professor" John Brenner, in Allentown, Pa., there is a "fortune telling trust" in New York city, which establishes, necromancers in various cities and exacts commissions from the proceeds they are able to gather from a fleeced public. "Professor" Brenner, who several weeks ago established himself next door to the home of Chief of Police Bernhart, pleaded guilty. He said he did not know that fortune telling was contrary to law. Brenner had been in Allentown only a few days when he was arrested by Chief of Police Bernhart. In giving him the limit, $100 fine and nine months in jail, Judge Groman remarked that he was sorry he could not impose a heavier sentence. Prepares Poison For Baby; Killle Self. After mixing carbolic acid with the milk in the feeding bottle of her infant baby, Mrs. Richard Hancock of Harney's Corners, near Trenton, N. J., swallowed the poison and died while being removed to the hospital. A friend came in to find her writting on the floor and she summoned as made ill. The bottle contained enough prepared for the baby, and being distrustful of it, she tasted it and was made ill. The bottle contained enough poison to kill the child. Earthquake in Japan, Killle Many. A serious earthquake occurred in the prefecture of Akita, island of Hondo, Japan. Many persons in the city of Akita were killed and many houses were destroyed or damaged. In the village of Kowakubi, which was ruined, there were many casualties. The disturbance also badly damaged the railroad and telegraph lines. The volcano Asuma-Yama, ninety miles northwest of Tokyo, is in eruption. Theater Stage Falls Fifty musicians of the Apollo, Pa. churches, including men and women, were thrown in a heap in the cellar of the theater there when the stage on which they were seated gave way. A score of persons suffered apraxia and bruises in the twelve-foot drop. A panic was narrowly averted. The musicians were from the various churches and were rehearsing a musical play. Cave-In Engulfs Bodies in Cemetery. A cave-in at the No. 2 mine of the Pennsylvania Coal company at Pittston, Pa., permitted several bodies, which rested in St. John's cemetery, to drip into the mine. Just how many bodies have disappeared is not known. John A. Collier, the cemetery sexton, found the cave and was startled when he found several caskets protruding through the rough boxes. Gat $105,000 Verdict Against Navy. William Cramp & Sons' Shipbuilding company has been awarded judgment for $105,617.33 against the United States by the United States court of claims in Washington.

Macauley was not the first man to frame the famous image of the man of a new civilisation standing amid the ruins of that which we know today. Long before he wrote of his traveler from New Zealand meditating upon London bridge Mrs Barbauld and used the same image, with the differences that she applied it to Blackburn bridge. An earlier reviewer had used it in an article published in 1907, we are told by an English commentator, and Horace Walpole says in one of his letters, "At last, some curious traveler from Eme will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St. Paul's." Build the Dirt to the Quail. A quail, being shot at by a hunter and purposely accepting with her face hunting a quail, returns in a flurry. From a tree overhanging an owl, locked down upon her sardinically. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` 1 "You are very sly," he remarked, "to allow yourself to be hunted so when you have the means of defense ready at your hand. If you were to stop killing the insects that prey on the wheat and the corn man would speedily perch of starvation. The quail thanked him civilly for his advice. "However, if you don't mind," said she, "I think I prefer to go on doing what is so evidently, my duty, let others do as they may."—Farm and Fireside.

New Jersey Club Stories Two stories are told of the time when the Athenaeum club, while its clubhouse was undergoing renovation, was hospitably taken in by the United Service club. One was of a distinguished officer who, after a vain attempt for his umbrella, was heard to mutter, "That comes of letting these — bishops into the club." The counterblast is to the effect that when an Athenaeum man, while his club was still the guest of the other, asked for the librarian, the answer was, "Please, sir, he is in the dining room carving the roast beef"—London Standard. Applauded the Lightning. In "The Country of Sir Walter Scott" Charles S. Gloeck tells a story of Scott as a tiny boy of three or thereabouts. He was staying at his grandfather's farm at Sandy Knowe, under the shadow of the old feudal tower of Smallholm: One day he was missed during a violent thunderstorm, and the household set out in search of him. He was found lying on his back on the rocks, kicking his heels in the air and clapping his hands with delight as he watched the vivid lightning, and as one flash followed another, each more brilliant than the one before, he would shout: "Bonnie! Bonnie! Dae it again! Dae it again!" The Gift of the Sex Jones was telling what an excellent cook his wife was. Smith bonusted that his wife was a splendid dressmaker. and Robinson proudly stated that his wife was an unusually clever artist. Brown was not to be outdone, so he remarked: "My wife is a great linguist." No one seemed impressed. There was a moment's silence; then Robinson spoke up. "Humph! he exclaimed. "They all are!"-Youth's Companion. Her Limitations "These plums look too cheap," said the young woman, her brows contracting slightly. "Show me some of the best you've got." "Yes, amm, amm," said the salesman. "May I ask how high you care to go?" "Me? Oh, I only go to G, but I want one with all the octaves just the same." — Chicago Tribune. Wrong.

A Chinese Story A Chinese barber while shaving a customer's head drew blood and put one of his fingers on the place. Again he made a cut and put down another finger, and so on until he had no more fingers free. "Ab," said he as he paused in his work, "a barber's trade is difficult. We ought to have a thousand fingers!" YOUR CHANCES. We all have to learn in one way or another that neither men nor boys get second chances in this world. We all get new chances till the end of our lives, but not second chances in the same set of circumstances, and the great—the very great—difference between one person and another is how he takes hold of and uses his first chance and how he takes his fall if it is scored against him.—Thomas Hughs.
