APR 8 1914 CAMBRIDGE, MASS. HON. HARRY S. CUMMINGS SPEAKS HERE. Tremendous Crowd Greets Him at City Auditorium. Knights of Pythias Anniversary. Courts of Calanthe Members There Too. Uniform Rank Parades. VOLUME XXXI, NO. 19 HON. HA SP Tremendous Auditorium Courts of C Un It was estimated that more than three thousand people crowded into the City Auditorium last Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock to attend the anniversary exercises of the Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A. and A., and the female department, known as the Order of Calanthe. They came too, to listen to the scholarly address of Hon. Harry S. Cummings of Baltimore, a practicing attorney and a member of the City Council. This throng braved the threatening weather, which subsequently developed into a drilling rain. UNIFORM BANK DISPLAY. The Uniform Rank, K. of P. assembled early at the Pythian Castle, 727 N. Third Street and marched to the City Auditorium. Brigadier General John'Mittell, Jr., led the process, accompanied by his Staff: Oot, John K. Collis, R. C. M. Mitchell, Col. Willis Wyatt, Col. W. Henry Jones, Col. R. S. Nelson, Major Adolphus Jackson, Major W. H. Willis. Regimental Staff: Lt. Col. Thomas H. Wyatt; Adjutant, Capt. B. H. Peyton, Capt. R. H. Fauntleroy, Capt. Richard Tompkins, Capt. Isaac Bray, Capt.

John Dabney; Quarter Master, L. Robert Green. Co. A. Cadet Capt. Joseph Givens; Cadet Lt. Ellsworth Washington; Co. B., Cadet Capt. Robert H. Smith; Cadet Lt. Leonard Woodson. The K. of P. Municipal Band, Capt. Moses Johnson, leader, furnished music. The members of the various lodges brought up the rear. It was an imposing parade. / FINE SINGING. Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr. presided. On the stage set prominent people of the city. On the right was the choir of the Second Baptist Church, Col. Thomas M. Crump, leader. It is but fair to state that this choir thrilled the vast audience and astonished those well versed in music. They sang with that freedom and harmony for which the race is noted, supplemented by that transcendent musical training and ability which have been the marvel of white observers engaged in a similar vocation. The music was there. The harmony was there and the volume was there. The opening ode was sung with enthusiasm by the audience and the Scriptures were read by Rev. S. C. Masuel, D. D., pastor of the Fifth Street Baptist Church. The Thanks giving Prayer was offered by Rev. A. S. Thomas, D. D., pastor of the Sharon Baptist Church. When Grand Chancellor Mitchell proceeded to introduce Hon. Harry S. Cummings of Baltimore, to the audience there were rounds of applause to greet him, which was intensified when Mr. Cummings advanced to the front of the stage and began his preliminary remarks incident to the discussion of the subject: "The Power of Fraternal Organizations in the Uplift of the Negro." MR. CUMMINGS' TRIBUTE Mr. Cummings paid a glowing tribute to John Mitchell, Jr., under whose leadership, the Pythian organization had enjoyed such a remarkable degree of property. He spoke of Mr. Mitchell's championship of the rights of the affluent people with a reference to his elegance, "Lycean-law must go!" The influence of The PLANET, the journal which he edited was also the subject of discussion. He declared that the meeting of the Supreme League at Baltimore where Virginia was denied representation, was the temporary triumph of might over right. THE SUPREME LODGE AND ITS BLUNDERS. The information issued by the Secretary of the Motion of Census and Information Commissioned by self as agreeably surprised at the progress of the colored people in this city with its many insurance companies and its banks. He paid a tribute to the Mechanics' Savings Bank and its founder, saying that he was astounded at the evidences of prosperity there. It showed that the colored people of Richmond were sticking together. He then discussed the great benefit the fraternal organizations of the country had been to the Negro. His remarks were eloquent and he cited instance after instance where the race had been benefited. He concluded his remarks with the quotation entitled, "Be strong" and resumed his seat amidst rounds of applause. THE GLEE CLUB. It may be that the applause which finally greeted the Sabbath Gleg Club under the leadership of Mr. Joseph Matthews was primarily caused by surprise. No one dreamed that the body of young men attired in black, wearing tuxedo coats, seated on the left of the stage, were able to sing as they did sing. They were trained up to the minute. When they concluded, they had to sing again and the call came again and again. Rev. W. H. Stokes, Ph. D., pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, then came to the front and delivered a short, but timely address. Mr. Joseph Matthews sang with remarkable melody "The Holy City," being accompanied by the K. of P. Municipal Band. THE BANNER OF PYTHIANISM. Grand Chancellor, Mitchell discussed "Tri-Colored Banner of Knights of Pythias Still Waves in Virginia." He discussed the disagreements between the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia and the Supreme Lodge, explaining how Virginia had been forced into the United States Court at Washington. He then explained the present situation and announced that the Supreme Court had ruled that the Supreme Lodge had done wrong and it had set aside its decree revoking the fraternal charter of Virginia. He explained that the corporation charter, granted by the State of Virginia had not been disturbed by the action of the Supreme Lodge and that it could not be revoked by any power save by the State Corporation Commission or by the Legislature of Virginia. A COPY OF THE INJUNCTION. He read a copy of the injunction granted by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia at Washington, read extracts from the report compiled by G. K. of R. and S. Thomas M. Crump, showing that the assets of the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia were twenty-four thousand dollars and closed amidst applause. The benediction was announced by Rev. B. J. Bolding. D. D. STAGE DECORATION. The stage was magnificently decorated. Grand Chancellor Mitchell thanked all who had participated in the exercise. The Committee of Arrangements was as follows: Miss M. L. Chiles, chairman; Mrs. Anna Taylor, Mrs. Leoy Cross, Mrs. Kate Thomas, Col. Willis Wyatt, Mrs. Clara G. Porvall, Mrs. Nannie C. Johnson, Mrs. Harriet E. Thompson, Miss Rebecca T. Mitchell, Col. W. H. Willig and Mrs. Mildred Johnson. A reception was tendered Attorney Cummings at the Pythian Castle Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock. Covers were laid for dirty persons, but these present exceeded the number. A "course dinner" was served. It was an informal affair, but was highly appreciated.

Danville, Va., March 31.—Sunday, March the 29th, was a high day among the Pythians and Courts of Danville, Virginia. As is the custom the Knights assembled in their castle on Union Street and marched up Union Street to Main, up Main to Ridge and from Ridge up High Street to the historic High Street Baptist Church. At the Church the Knights formed in two lines, through which the Courts of Calanthe marched into the spacious edifice, after which the long line of Pythians entered and took their seats. One can gain an idea of the number of male and female members present when it is stated that though High Street is among the largest churches in the city, the memborship almost filled the main auditorium and seats had to be brought in to accommodate the remaining porign of the audience, which filled the gallery and blocked the alley. After several songs the Rev. Johnson read the Scriptures followed with prayer. The speaker, the Rev. S. A. Moses being presented, took for a text, "Let us make for ourselves a name," from which he preached "a splendid sermon. He was presented by Sir J. C. Carter. Taking it all in all, Sunday was really the most memorable day ever celebrated here, and it is said that the parade was one of the largest ever seen here among fraternal orders. The exercises were conducted by District Deputy Grand Chancellor George W. Rison and Mrs. S. J. Hol brook. Among the prominent Pythians present were Sirs Wylie Williamson, W. P. Allen, U. S. Cunningham; and among the leading members of the Courts of Calanthe were, Mrs. Florence Wilson, Mrs. P. M. B. Hodge, Miss Mildred C. Newton, Mrs. P. L. Lee. Much credit is due Sir George W. Rison, Wylie Williamson and the Committee of Arrangements for the splendid showing made by the Order. "A Sir Knight." WANTED—LIGHT COMPLEXIONED Barber, $10.00 guarantee.

The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a blank or heavily distorted rectangle with no visible content. The above cut is that of the Rev. W. H. Skipwell, the International Proacher and Singing Angelist of Philadelphia, Pa., formerly of this city. Rev. Skipwell has been in this city and Petersburg since January 18, 1914 conducting appeals for the following Pastors and Churches: Dr. W. T. Johnson, First Baptist; R. O. Johnson, Moore St. Baptist; A. Binga, Jr., First Baptist, South Richmond; and Rev. Ell Tartte, First Baptist, Petersburg, Va. In speaking of the ability and work of the "Evangelist" all of the brethren seem to agree with a few exceptions, i.e. they admit that he is an orthodox preacher and "Evangelist," singer; profound in thoughts, unassuming and a soul winner of the first magnitude. But Dr. Binge says, "That he is a genius; and then asks, 'What manner of man is this?' Dr. DR. CARTER ACQUITTED. Declared Not Gulity of Murder—His Wife Now Violently Insane. Dr. W. M. Carter, a medicine vendor of Petersburg, charged with the murder of Dr. H. H. Cox, another medicine vendor of the same city was declared to be not guilty by a jury in the Hustings Court at Petersburg, Va. last Wednesday. This is the sequel to the killing of Dr. Cox last November. It seems that Dr. Carter heard a noise at his residence in the back yard after he had retired. He armed himself with a shot-gun and crept out of the back way. SAW A MAN THERE He claims to have seen a man in the act of setting fire to his house. When the intruder saw him, he started to him and then Dr. Carter fired. When light was brought, it was found that the dead man was Dr. Cox, who had formerly boarded with Dr. Carter. Trouble arose between the two men and he ordered Dr. Cox away from his house. It was alleged that this action was caused by the intimacy existing between Dr. Cox and Dr. Carter's wife. COULD NOT PROVE IT. Mrs. Carter denied this. It will be well to state that she has since gone violently insane. The prosecution en devoiled to prove that Dr. Carter lured Dr. Cox to his house that night and then shot him. Dr. Carter proved that Dr. Cox had threatened his life. There was no evidence upon which Dr. Carter could be convicted. The jury visited the scene of the killing and the verdict quickly followed. Dr. Cox was from South Carolina and he passed as a white man. He was a cousin to Dr. Carter. ATTRACTED MUCH ATTENTION. The case attracted much attention. Dr. Carter testified in his own behalf and told a straight-forward story on the witness stand. Dr. Carter left the court-room followed by a crowd. Intense interest prevailed during the trial and hundreds of colored people sought admission to the crowded court room. Rev. S. S. Morris was called to Washington, D. C. last week on account of the death of his cousin, Mr. Gilbert Gray, an employee of the U. S. Treasury Department for 85 years, and aeward of the Metropolitan Church for 85 years. Rev. Morris preached Sunday A. M. at the Metropolitan A. M. B. Church. He will be in memorial in Fort Washington and will be in the city A. M. Shaw. W. T. Johnson "says" he is more normal than the above statements. There have been over six hundred and fifty conversions and still the fire burns, people have been turned away from the churches in crowds on acco- count of standing room being at a premium. O. Rev. Shipwilh is now on his way to the Messiah Baptist Church, Rev. William Morton, D. D., pastor, Bridgeport Conn., where he shall be for two weeks. Dr. Morton has been the honored pastor of this church for over twenty-five years, during which time he has built one of the finest churches in the State with a congrat- ation second to none. Whon he first came to Bridgeport the Baptists were hardly known. The great New Engl- and Convention, composing over fifteen states will convene in this church June next.

The Winter has been exceedingly cold and of long duration. I will always remember the last freeze. It was so very cruel to me. It gave me a hard fall. The girls are packing away their Winter furs and selecting their Easter bonnets. In our universities and colleges, the thought has already dawned upon the student as to what part they will play in the commencement exercise. Whether they will receive their diplomas or be sent back. The farmer realizes that he must no longer wait for the peep of day, but must rise with the morning star. Church workers must put in more time for God so that many who are not saved yet may do so before too late. Race problems are pressing themselves upon us to be solved.

All having eminated from that which is descriptive. Words of a descriptive nature cover a large area of the thought field and supply most of the raw material used by the discretionary power of the mind. Few of the people we meet are descriptive thinkers. It looks too much like work for them. They like smooth sailing. Either a brisk gale or an imaginary billow will be an inducement to cast anchor. There is no gala without palms says Benjamin Franklin. The 'way to the 'Klondike' leads across mountains as well as through fertile valleys. The right of way for the proposed railroad points through the swamp as well as through the cleared land. Several years ago I left New York City bound for Charleston, South Carolina. The steamer was due to leave at 3 o'clock, but it was past midnight when she steamed out of the harbor. During the first 25 or 20 hours it was a calm sea and a clear sky. Later, I became seaseless and while in my agony one morning before day, I felt myself swinging as it were, high up in the air. I looked out the window and saw above me a black, angry looking cloud "belching" forth large drops of rain against our frail bark, while almost as near could be seen gigantic billows dashing themselves-to pieces against the vessel. I thought sure we would all be lost at sea. But the captain of that vessel knew that he would have to encounter these troubled waters consequently, he pressed forward and landed us all safely at Charleston. Most people are integral thinkers. They look upon one thing as a whole and cipher out the relation between it and another to suit their fancy. So many people look upon the Negro race as a unit, as one thing. They never allow themselves to think of it as a race of people numbering more than ten millions, being composed of many valuable citizens, such as Ministers, Lawyers, Doctors, Teachers, Business Men and last but not least, Dressmakers, Musicians, Etc. We all doubtless would be surprised to know the number of people in this Christian land of ours who have never taken the time to find out for themselves, their children or their friends, what the Church of God really is. They look upon the church just as they would a railroad station, owned and controlled by a "company of believers" Many, very many of them have sat quietly in a church and heard it said that on one occasion, during Christ's early ministry one of His disciples gave vent to a feeling which painted him before the other disciples as one of great character. It also showed that he had been in close touch with the Father of Heaven and Earth. Christ asked His disciples, saying, "Whom do men say that I, the Son of Man, am." Some of the disciples said one thing and some another, but Peter said, "Thon art the Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus answered and said unto him, "Blessed art thou. Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father: which is in Heaven. And I say unto thee that thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys, of the Kingdom of Heaven and whatsoever shalt bind upon earth shall be bound in Heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be locked in Heaven." The church's a divine institution established by Jesus, Christ, Christ is the builder. He has given us the keys.

The child who receives paradox for his sins and connects himself with the church as the result of having had the idea planted in his mind, showing the necessity for so doing, had a pearl of great price. That is he had a useful idea, while the one who advanced the idea that certain section of this country could and should withdraw from the American Union turned loose a "dynamite." All ideas relative to the impossibility of digging the Panama Canal proved to be useless. If you visit a railroad shop owned by one of our large railroad systems you will see many locomotives as well as freight cars, passenger cars and the like. The locomotives are of various size, style, capacity and the like. One will travel from 60 to 75 miles per hour, another can travel 25 to 30 miles per hour "tossing" forty or fifty cars loaded with commerce. Some of the engines are worn out, some brand new, many are being overhauled, others laid aside. In our mind there are a great many ideas, some worth a dime others not worth a penny.

So close together were they that the distance the blow traveled was a want eight inches. It was a short arm left jolt, and it was accomplished by a twist of the left forearm and a thrust of the shoulder. It lapsed flush on the point of the chin, and the astounded audience saw Ruge Mason's legs crumple under him as his body sank to the floor. But the referees had seen, and he promptly proceeded to count him out. Again Pat carried his opponent to his corner, and it was ten minutes be- G. P. R. "What happened?" he queried heartily, fore Rufo Mason, supported by his seconds, with sarging knees and rolling, glassy eyes, was able to move down the stile through the stuped and incredulous audience on the way to his dressing room. "No wonder," he told a reporter, "that Rough House Kelly thought the roof hit him. After Chub Collins had been put out in the twelfth second of the first round of a fifteen round contest Stubener felt compelled to speak to Pat. "Do you know what they're calling you now?" he asked. Pat shook his head. "One Punch Glendon." Pat emailed politely. He was little interested in what he was called. He had certain work cut out which he must do are he could win back to his mountain, and he was phlegmatically doing it, that was all. "It won't do," his manager continued, with an ominous shake of the head. "You can't go on putting your men out so quickly. You must give them more time." "I'm here to fight, ain't it?" Pat demanded in surprise. Again Stubberer shook his head. "It's this way, Pat. You've got to be big and generous in the fighting game. Don't get all the other fighters sore. And it's not fair to the audience. They want a run for their money. "Besides, no one will fight you. They'll all be scared out. And you can't draw crowds with ten second fights. I leave it to you. Would you pay $1 or $5 to see a ten second fight?" Pat was convinced, and he promised to give future audiences the requisite run for their money, though he stated that, personally, he preferred going fishing to witnessing a hundred rounds of fighting. [TO BE CONTINUED.] Net an Ardent Layer Dr. Brandes, the Danish man of letters, tells a curious story of himself. At the very moment he had appointed to keep a tryst with his sweetheart he was deep in Hegel. "With a passionate desire to reach a comprehension of the truth I grappled with the system, began with the encyclopedia, read the three volumes of 'Aesthetics', the 'Phenomenology of the Mind', then the 'Philosophy of Law' again and finally the 'Logic', the 'Natural Philosophy' and the 'Philosophy of the Mind' in a veritable interlocation of comprehension and delight." The lamentable sequel was that he forgot all about the young girl to whom he had to say goodbye—time, place and promise. Old Time Newspapers The earliest English newspaper, Nathaniel Butter's Weekly News, had several predecessors aboard. The first of these in point of time was the Ordinarij Avis, the publication of which began at Sturburg in 1849, fourteen years before the appearance of Nathaniel Butter's venture. In 1820 Abraham Verhoeven founded the Nienws Thildingen at Antwerp, and this continued to appear weekly for 227 years. The oldest existing newspaper is apparently the Swedish Official Gazette, which dates back to 1044.—London Opinion. Prélique Modèle. "Just think, somebody broke into my studio last night. Unfortunately I had just begun a study in still life." "What is it about?" "Oh, but the models were—a haw and a haw, manhattan."—London Globe. "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 roasted 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 altitude of the oceans of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A., A. and A., at Baltimore last August. In a wild scramble for money, they threw discretion to the winds. Lot us see. Unor 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 subdinion ate 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 noes with 52 members of the Supremo Lodge absent. Of the 51 votes, 20 were office-holders and 8 Deputy Supreme Chancellors appointed by Supremo Chancellor S. W. Green, with the power to vote. This loft 23 Suprema 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 expense, the Supremo 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 $3.50, but as the membership increases will pass the $100 limit. The District of Columbia' biennial tax was $50.00. It was changed to $58.35, an increase of $8.55. Copy of Injunction.

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 dissolved; 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 of the order of the defendant corporation, and from calling or 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, purporting 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 defended 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 ($9,252.75) 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 allotted to have been adopted at the last session requires all Grand Lodges to surrender their present state charters of incorporation and to relincarate 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 soon why Virginia and her Supreme Representatives were not wanted in the Supreme Lodge. It may be well to enquire 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? 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 $875.00, an increase of $275.00. 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. 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: 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. "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 as to the action of the majority at that time, but I feel it my solitude duty to again call your attention to the disposable condition of your treasury at this time. The salaries of the officers of the Supreme Lodge have not been paid since September, 1912 and when the session convenes at Baltimore, you will find an enormous deficit, that can only be met by wise legislation, and proper regulation of commerce." The Order The records show that 24 Deputy Supreme Chancellors were appointed by the Supreme Chapellor at Baltimore last August. He had previously ruled that they had the right to vote. These twenty-four deputies, at present at the next session of the Supreme Lodge will have the voting power equal to that at Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Tennessee and Alabama. These six states, according to the figures quoted, will be 10 West Leigh Street. Richmond, Virginia.

MARKETING MEDIA has been tamed and overcrowded, the patience of the membership has almost reached the breaking point." What was the reply to this common scene, business plea? C. K. Robinson was put out of office and the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia, that backed up his plea for retreatment 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. Has Virginia paid the unlawful tax lovey? 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 suspended 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 "fail 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, which 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 to getting peace.

A Tale of the Vanishing People By REX BEACH Copyright by Rex Beach UP from the valley below came the throb of war drums, the faint rattle of shots and the distant cries of painted horsemen charging. From my hard won vantage on the ridge I had an unobstructed view of the encampment, a great circle of tepes and tents three miles in circumference, cradled in a sag of the timberless hills. Five thousand Sioux were here in all their martial splendor, painted and decked and trapped for war, living anew their tales of night and repeating in mimicry their greatest battles. Five days the feasting had continued. Five mornings had I been awakened at dawn to see a thousand obered, feathered horsemen pour out of the gullies upon the camp, their horses rearing and plunging, their rifles snapping and splitting, while the valley rocked to their battlecries and to the answering clamor of the army which met them. The colors of a savage people had begun to pall on me, the sound of a strange language had begun to annoy me, and I longed for another white man or a word in my own tongue. Next to my text was another one which had been erected during my absence, and through the fap was thrust the head of my friend, the government doctor. "Gee, I'm glad to see you!" I said as I shook his hand. "I'm as lonesome as a deaf mute at a song recital." "What's the matter? Won't the Indians talk to you?" "I guess they would if they could, but they can't. Out of these 5,000 Bloux I haven't found one who can understand a word I say, and Ivo tried some 4,000 of them." The old gentleman laughed. "Your government schools have gone back in the betting with me, doc. You must keep your graduates under lock and key." "They can all speak English if they want to—that is, the younger ones can. Some few of the old people are too proud to try, but the others can talk as well as we can until they forget." "Do you mean to say these abortions have been fooling me? I don't believe it," said I. "There is one that can't talk English, and I'll make a bet on it." I indicated a passing brave with an eagle feather headaddress reaching far down his naked legs. He was a magnificent animal-young, lithe and as tall and straight as a angel—and was decked from head to feet in his gorgeous panoply. "I've tried him twice, and he simply doesn't understand." My friend called to the warrior: "Hey, Tom! Come here a minute." The Indian came, and the doctor continued: "When do you hold the horse races, Thomas?" "Tomorrow, 4 o'clock, unless it rains," said the fellow. "Are you going to ride?" "No. My race horse is sick." The other daubed figure vanished into the dusk the old man turned to me, saying: "Tale." "What?" "Tale; B. A. He's a graduate." "I impossible?" I declared. "Why. I could hardly understand him. He talks like a foreigner or as if he was just learning the language." "Exactly. That halting unfamiliarity with English marks the death and decay of his learning. In three years more he'll be an Indian again through and through. Oh, the reservation is full of fellows like that." The doctor continued, with a sigh: "It's a melancholy acknowledgment to make, but our work seems to count for nearly nothing. It's their blood." "I've heard a graduating class read theses from a platform, sing cantatas in chorus and deliver orations. Then I have seen those same young fellows three months later squatting in tepees, grunting in their native tongues and eating with their fingers. "Some years ago I felt I was well on my way to success, for I found a youth who offered every promise of great manhood. I studied him until I knew his every trait and his every strength. He did not seem to have any weakness. I raised him under my own supervision into a tall, straight fellow as handsome as figured bronze and with a mind far in advance of his people and his years. He had the best blood of the nation in him, being the son of a war chief, and they called him Thomas Running Elk. He was educated at the agency school under me, and he went through his college courses like a stag at the head of a great herd, a silent, digressed, shadow figure, unapproachable and mysterious to his fellow students. In all things he excelled, but he was best perhaps in athletics, the credit for which I also took, feeling a godlike- instruction in my work. "News came to me of his victories on track and field and gridiron, for his professors kept me posted, being likewise interested in my experiment, but as for him he never wrote. It was not his nature, nor did he communicate with his people. "It was in my protege's senior year that the great thing entered his life, the thing I had craftily built upon from the start and had well high despaired of. The girl entered, but instead of Running Elk being drawn to the woman, as I had planned, the woman went to him. "You've heard of old Henry Harman? Yes, the railroad king. It was his daughter Alkia. "In order to understand the story you'll have to know something about old Henry and believe in heredity, as I do. He is a self made man. He came into the middle west as a poor boy and by force of his indomitable plink, ability and doggedness became a captain of industry. He is the same now as when he was a section boss, and his daughter Alice is another Henry Harman feminized. Her mother was a pampered child of Fifth avenue, born to money and a slave to her own wibuns, and Alice grew up more effectively spoiled than her mother, combining the traits of both parents. "Well, when I got a panicky letter from one of Running Elk's professors, coupling her name vaguely, with that of my Indian, I wavered in my determination to see this experiment out. But the mind of the analyst is unsettlement, and one who sets out to untangle the skin of the gods must pay the price, so I waited." "As if fate had really taken a part in the affair, I found a long distance call from old Henry Herman when I returned to my hotel. He had wired me here at the agency and, finding I was in Washington, had called me from New York. He didn't tell me much over the phone, except that he must see me at once, and as my work was finished I took the train in the morning, going straight to his office. "Do, I'm in an awful hole," he declared, and you're the only man who can pull me out. It's about Alice and that savage of yours." "I know something about it," said I, and I feel rather to blame, for it was I who sent him to college. "I won't be defiled by my own flesh and blood!" I won't. I won't. I'm the master of my own family. Why, the thing's so abused it's almost unbelievable, and yet it's terrible-terrible! Heaven! What would her mother say if she were alive? "Have you talked with Alice?" "Not with her, to her. She's like a mule. Yes, sir, just like a mule. I never saw such a will in a woman. I—I've fought her until I'm as weak as a cat. I don't know where she got her temper." He collapsed feebly, and I had to smile, for there's only one thing strong and stubborn enough to overcome a Harman's resistance, and that is a Harman's desire. "What does she say? My interest in the affair was increasing. "Nothing, except to agree that I'm right in the abstract and then to inform me that the abstract problems go to pieces once in awhile. She says this—this Galloping Mouse, calls yelping ghost dance of yours, is the only real man she ever met." "What does he have to say?" "Humph! grunted Harman 'All he does is to listen.'" "How old is Allela?" "Nineteen. Oh, I've hurried that at her, too, but she says she'll wait! You know she has her own money from her mother." "Doe Running Elk come to your house?" "At this my old friend roared so fiercely that I hastened to say: 'I'll see him at once. I have more influence than anybody else with him.'" "I hope you can show him how impossible, how criminal it is to ruin my girl's life. Yes, and mine too. Suppose the yellow papers got hold of this thing." Harman shuddered. "Doc, I love that girl so well I'd kill her with my own hands rather than face her disgrace and see her ridiculed." "She could marry a duke if one happened to come along, and I'd buy her one, too, if she wanted him, but I won't stand for this dirty, low browed funn." "He's not dirty," I declared, "and he's not as low browed as some degenerate foreigner you'd be glad to pick out for her." "Well, he's an Iijun,' retorted Harman, 'an' I'll come out on him. We've both seen 'em tried. They all drop back where they started from. You know that as well as I do." "I don't know it," said I, thinking of my experiment, which had gone so badly askew, but we've got to put a stop to this affair in one way or another. I'll see the young man right away." "Tomorrow is Thanksgiving," said Henry. "Wait over and go up with us and see the Yale-Princeton football game. I understand Hunning Elk plays fullback. Well we'll pick up at your hotel in the morning and drive up in the car. It's the big game of the year, and you'll enjoy it. I don't expect to, however." "You have seen similar games, so there is no need of my describing this one, even if I could. As it was my first experience it impressed me greatly. When the teams appeared I recognized Running Elk at a distance, as did the hordes of madmen behind us, and I began to understand what the old man in the seat next mine was combating. "A dancing derrish in front of the grand stand said something through a megaphone, then waved a cane, whereupon a tremendous barking 'Rahi Rahi' 'Rahi' broke out, ending with my Slox boy's name. They bellowed and rioted over him until I wished that the old chief back in Dakota were there to see his son and witness the honor he had won among the whites. "Quite as impressive to me as this demonstration was the deathlike silence which it settled when the team scattered out in rebellion. Principally kicked off, and the ball called, high and far. As it scotched in its downward flight I saw a lithe, grunt shadow of a man racing, toward it and recognised my boy. I had but his position for the moment, but I knew that burgary, predatory stride which devoured the feecting yards as if he were a thing of the wind. He was off with the ball in the hollow of his arm, back into the heart of his enemies, dodging, darting, leaping, twisting, always advancing. They tore his interference from him, and yet he penetrated their ranks like an eldive, quivering beam of light which none of them might lay hands upon. He was running free when tackled, and his assailant launched himself with such savage violence that the sound of their impact came to us distinctly. As he fell I heard Alice Harman gasp as if some hand had been removed from her throat. And then the crowd gave tonge. "From that time, time on to the finish of the game my eyes seldom left Running Elk and then only to shoot quick glances at my companions. "Although the skill of the young boys overcoped that of all the others, the opposing team played as one man as a wonderful, well oiled piece of military and they scored. All through the first half Yale struggled to replicate, but at the intermission had not succeeded. "In the second half of the game the son of a Saint yale led the men of Elk as Humboldt led his Cartinggian cohorts up to the gates of Rome with the same irresistible progress, showing within the military genius of a Chief Joseph. He was indelible, magnificent, and he tied the score. "It was a grand exhibition of ecology and courage, for he was everywhere, always alert and ready, and it was he who won the game finally." "There came some sort of fumble, too fast for the eye to follow, and then the ball rolled out of the scrimmage. Before we knew what had happened Running Elk was away with it, a scattered field ahead of him. "I dare say you have heard about that run, for it occurred in the last three minutes of play and is famous in football animals to this day. It was a spectacular thing, apparently devised by Elk to make more difficult the labors of old Henry and me. Every living soul on those high banked bleachers was on his feet at the finish, a senseless, screaming demon. I saw Alice stealing forward, her face like chakra, her very blanched, her whole high strung body a quiver. Her eyes were distended, and in them I saw a book which told me that this was no meridian whim, that this was more than the animal call of youth and sex. Running Elk had become a foble to her. "The father must likewise have recognized this, for as we passed out he stammered into my car "You see. Due, the girl's mind. It's awful awful! I don't know what to do" "The press had separated her, from us a bit, so I answered: Get her away, quick, no matter how or where! Use force if you have to, but get her away and keep her away. I'll see him tonight." "I guess it's our only chance! mum bled the old fellow. 'I'll kidnap her and take her to Europe. It's awful!' and take her to Europe. It's awful! "I didn't go back to the city with them, but said goodly at the running board of their machine, finding great morning that the father had taken my advice and that they had sailed unexpectedly for an indebted stay abroad. "I spent that evening with Running Elk, who seemed glad to see me. He asked all about his people, told me of his progress and spoke lightly of his victory that day. Sound him as I would, I could elicit no mention of Allicia Harman's name. He wasn't much of a talker anyhow, and at last I was forced to bring up the subject myself, whereupon the alliance of his forefathers fell upon him, and all he did was listen. I told him forbely that any thoughts of ber were ridiculous and impossible. "I told him a thousand reasons why, recounted them cruelly, unfeelingly, but he made no sign to me. As a matter of fact, I don't think he understood them any more than he understood the affair itself. He appeared to be blinded and confused by the splendor of it all. She was so glorious, so different, so mysterious to him that he had best all perspective. Recognizing this, I descended to material things which I knew he could grasp: "I paid for your education," said I, and it is almost over with. In a few months you'll be turned out to make your living, and then you'll encounter this race prejudice I speak of in a way to affect your stomach and your body. You're a poor man, Running Elk, and you've got to earn your way. Your blood will win you from a good many means of doing it, and when your color begins to affect your earning capacity you'll have all you can do to take care of yourself alone. Life isn't played on a gridiron, and the first thing you're got to do is make a man of yourself. You've got no right to fill your head with insane fanacles of this sort. "Yes, she," said he. "And that was about all I could get out of him. His reticence was very annoying. "I didn't see him again for two years. I had barely reached the reservation when the atago from the railroad brought two women two strange women, who came straight to my office—Alicia Harman and her French maid." "Well, I was fairly knocked endwise. But she was as well polished and self contained as on that Thanksgiving morning in New York when she and old Henry had picked me up, in their automobile—a trifle more stunning and a bit more determined perhaps. Oh, she was a splendid creature, in the first glory of her womanhood, a perfectly groomed, petting, spotted goddess. She grewted me graciously, with that quiescent air of aff great ladder. "Where is your father?" I asked as I laid off her dust coat. "He is in New York," said she. "I am traveling alone." "Why have you come yet, you can? I impaired slowly, being for more ill at one than she. "Do you need to ask? she answered, 'I respect father's wishes when I was in my minority. I traveled and studied and did all the tireome things he wished me to as long as he had the right to ask them of me. But when I became my own mistress I took my full freedom. He made his life be suit himself, and I am very sorry I cannot build mine to suit him. But we don't seem to see things the same, and I dare say he has accepted the inevitable.' "Then you say consider this inevitable? 'She hired her/dadinty brows. 'Invitable is not a good word. I wish it. I have hived it from the first. I have never ceased to wish it for an instant. I feel I must have it. Therefore, to all intents and purposes; it is inevitable. I suppose.' "You have er—been in communication with"— "Never. Father did not wish it." "Then how did you know he is here?" "He wrote me when he left Yale that he was coming here. I have heard nothing since. He is here, is he not?" "So I believe. I haven't seen him yet. You've known I been away myself." "Will you take me to him at once? If you are too busy I will ask—" "Very well," said I. "We'll drive out to the encampment." And I telephoned for my backboard. "There was little said on our fifteen mile drive, for I was apprehensive, and she was oddly torn between fear and exaltation. We left the French maid behind. I don't know that any woman ever went to her lover under stranger circumstances or in greater perturbation than did this girl, behind whom is the sinenabness of spolied womanhood and a generation of unrestraint. "It was well along in the evening when we came over the ridge and saw the ennument below us. You can imagine the fairy picture it made, with its mythical of winking fires, the soft effulgence of a thousand glowing tents and the wonderful magic of the night over all. As we drew nearer the unusual sounds of a strange merry-making came to us, the soft thudding of drums, the weird melody of the dances, the stir and confusion of dense animal life. In the daylight it would have been picturesque, but under the wizard land of the darkness it became ten times more so. "When I family tied my horses and led the girl into the heart of it I think she became a bit frightened, for these Indians were the Sioux of a bygone day, all barbaric and primitive in habit and dress and coloring—an astonishing race which had shaken off some three-score years, or some thirty-score for all we knew. "I guided her through the tangle of canvas habitations, through glaring fire lit circles and through black voids, where we stumbled and felt our way, rubbing shoulders with fierce warriors or sunken snows. At every group I asked for Running Elk, but he was one of the shifting thousands, and nobody knew his whereabouts. "At one time we came upon a sight I would gladly have spared her, the spectacle of some wrinkled bags strangling a dog. The girl at my side identified a cry at the vision. "What are they doing? she gasped. "Preparing the feast, I told her. "Do they—really— "Yes," said I. "They eat them. Come! I tried to force her onward, but she would not stir until the sacrifice had been dragged to the flames, where other carcasses were singing among the pots and kettles. From every side came the smell of cooking mingled with the odor of burning hair and flesh. I could hear Miss Harman painting as we went on. "After an endless search," during which we circled half the great hoop, we came upon the trail of our man and were directed to a nearby tepee. I lifted the flap and peered within, clearing a view for Miss Harman. "We beheld a circle of half naked braves in full regalia, squatting haunch to haunch, listening to a story teller. In front of them was a confusion of blackened pails and vessels filled with something steaming, into which they dipped their naked fingers. Their faces were streaked and foul with traces of the dish; the air of the place was drenched and reeking from their breaths. My eyes were slower than Aliana's, and so I did not distinguish our quarry at first, although a slow sigh at my ear and a convulsive clutch at my arm told me that he was there. "And then I, too, saw him. It was he who was talking and to whom the other listened, but what a change two years had wrought! His voice was harsh; his face through the painted dumbs and streaks was coarser and duller than when I knew him; his very body was more thin and shrunken than in the past. "He finished his tale while we, we staring at him, the circle broke into commendatory grunts, and he smiled in childlike satisfaction at the impression he had made. He leaned forward and, scrutinizing the litter of neat pots, plunged his hand into the maze. "Miss Harman stumbled back into the crowd a pace or two, and her place was taken by a squaw. "Running Elk! I called over the heads of those next the entrance, and seeing my face against the night, he sares and came out, stopping over the others. "How do you do? I said. 'You haven't forgotten me, have you?' "He towered 'head and shoulders above my, his feather beardaddress adding to his stature, the beaded patterns of his war harness bright in the light. 'Me, no! I will never forget you doctor. You—you have 'been sick!' The change in his speech was as marred as in his body and habits. He hailed over his words and mouthed them heartfatty. "Yes, pretty sick. And you—what are you doing?" "I do what the rvet do," said he—nothing. I have some parge and a The body of course that in all Are you interested with that idea of how I commanded sharply, at which he hesitated an instant before answer. "Yeah, I am satisfied. I am an Indian." "And so your education didn't do you any good after all?" "This time he passed a long, while history answering. "I have dreams," said he, "many dreams. But I am a Sloux, and you told me that dreams are out of place in an Indian, so I hope to forgive them along with all the rest." "A woman's voice which I did not recognise called to me sharply, and as I went. Running Elk bowed his head and slunk back through the tepee, door into the heart of his people—into the past—and with him went my experiment. Since then I have never middled with the gods or given them cause to laugh at me." "What became of him?" I inquired. "That was he I asked about the horse races, the man whom you couldn't understand, the fellow who wouldn't talk to you!" the old man answered. "Good Lord!" said I. "Why don't you ask about the girl?" said he. "Haven't you any sympathy for her?" "Not much." I replied slowly, "for her course was obvious. I seem to see a more pathetic figure by far. It is that of a youth from whose eyes the bandages of tradition and training and heredity had been suddenly whipped—a youth forced out from the darkness of all the ages into a dazzling, incomprehensible world. I seem to see him, aweustruck and timid, groping forward till he laid his hand upon a still more miraculous thing, but a taut and tangible thing which he could understand and which made a god of him. Then I see that thing snatched away, and see his only guide desert him, leaving him utterly naked and alone in the center of a universe which had no place for him. Can you wonder that he weig't背 whence he had come, where he had fitted in, where he understood and was understood." "Then you don't think my experiment failed, after all?" inquired the doctor. "You haven't proved that it did," I maintained, "for I would have done just what Running Elk did if I had been in his place, and so would you." The old fellow looked out grisly into the night. "Terhaps," said he. ```markdown ``` Since small shapes prevail, trimming must be measured accordingly, so a ribbon that seems part of the brim and a bunch of wood violets completes a violet and brown hat for a brown suit.

"Now, what does that mean?" asked the harried student. No replies. "Hoots, of course," he mild, "only they couldn't say 'hoots' in poetry, so they had to put it in a roundabout way."

In "Things I Remember" Poppick Townsend Martin, writing of that Peter Lorillard Ronalds, says that in his younger days she was mentioned in Paris as the "Patti des Sabons" because of her exquisite soprano voice. In London one evening an American woman was so carried away with this voice that she left her seat and clasped about the neck of Mrs. Ronalds, not only her arms, but her "valuable neck face," saying, "Pray, pray accept this as a tribute to, your divine voice." The next day the giver of the neck- woman was so carried away with, this voice that she left her seat and clasped about the neck of Mrs. Ronalds not only her arms, but her "valuable necklace," saying, "Pray, pray accept this as a tribute to, your divine voice." The next day the giver of the necklace reappeared and without ceremony avowed to Mrs. Ronalds that she had made a mistake in donating the necklace, because she had been "carried away by the sound of Mrs. Ronalds" voice. "What a pity," answered Mrs. Ronalds, "for the necklace has been carried away too. It's now in my safe at the bank!" Wayfaring.

A One day a neighbor drove up behind Bije, who was stalled its usual. It was a narrow embankment, and there was no room to pass. The neighbor accepted the situation philosophically. Every now and then Bije's horse would turn his head, and as promptly Bije would shy a pebble at it. It seemed that the box bed of his side-bar buggy was loaded with pebbles. "What's ye doin' that fer, Bije?" the neighbor asked. "That won't start 'im." "Waal, ye see," Bije answered. "I don't mind a hawas balkin' now an' then, but I be durned if he can turn around an' grin at me about it!" He Waa Ne Hoe In the old days of hand composition a printer known from New York to San Francisco as "Pilgrim" Hazlett wandered into a Pennsylvania town and asked the editor of the weekly for a "mit." "Well," said the editor, "I can put you to work, but I'm afraid I can't pay much money." "Make me an offer," said the Pilgrim. "All right. I can give you two meals a day at my house, you can sleep here in the office on this lounge, and I'll take care of your laundry. Then if you need tobacco get it across the street at the grocery. They run an account with us. And up at the brewery you can get a can of beer when over you like. Besides, I'll pay you $4 a week. Is that satisfactory?" "Gosh," said the Pilgrim after repeating the offer to get it straight in his mind, "if I get all that what do I want with the $4?" Of A Wild Nature Just outside the entrance to the yard at the Naval academy is an apartment house where some young officers live, and baby carriages are a not infrequent sight in this vicinity. Not long ago the commander of the yard had a notice posted on one side of the gate forbidding automobiles to enter because they frightened the herein. Shortly afterward the following unofficial notice appeared on the other side of the gate: "Baby carriages and perambulators not allowed in this yard. They scare the bushmen."—New York Post.

A cable message, confirmatory of previous reports that Theodore Roosevelt had not with no mishap in Brazil, was received at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, in response to an inquiry sent by the museum to United States Consul Pickrell, at Para. "Roosevelt all right. Arriving at Manaos by way of Papagalo river," said the consul's message. The following cablegram was received from Anthony Fiala: "I have received a wire from Colonel Roosevelt from Bonafacion, Matto Grosso province, reporting all in good health. He has been exploring the Duvida river, and expects to reach Manaos early in April. "I left Roosevelt, as part of the expedition plan, for the exploration of the Papagalo river. I was accompanied by a Brazilian cavalry lieutenant and seven men in three canoes. Two of the canoes sank with all our equipment and food in the Rapids of the Devil. "We had a thrilling escape with the lives of the lieutenant, five men and myself, and continued with short supplies along the Papagalo, Juruena and Trapajos rivers. We ran thirty or more raplds, including Antemandioca and Mians, catching fish for food. "I expect to meet Colonel Roosevelt at Manasos, for which I am leaving tomorrow. ANTHONY FIALA." FORCE PRIEST TO WED GIRL Brothers Claimed He Wronged Her and Compelled Him to Marry Her. One of the most remarkable affidavits that ever came to light was made public on Tuesday in Pittsburgh, Pa. at the request of Bishop Canervin, concerning the alloged marriage of Father M. M. Sweeney, pastor of the Catholic church at Sewickley, and Miss Mary C. Moran, one of his parishioners. The sensational charge was made by the three brothers of Miss Moran, but was denied by both-parties. At the request of the bishop, Miss Moran made an affidavit in which she declares that both she and the priest were kidnapped by her enraged brothers, who charged the clergyman with wronging their sister, and whisked them to Wellsburg, W. Va., in an automobile, where they were compelled to go through a marriage ceremony at the point of revolvers.

When the sale of his prints had made him proplever he set up a carriage and one day went in it to visit the lord mayor. While he was in the Mansion House the weather became stormy, and Hogarth, who happened to go out at a different door, after vainly searching for a hackney coach, walked home through the rain and was soaked to the skin.
