AUG. 3. 1914 CAMBRIDGE, MASS. VOLUME XXXI, NO. 36 Memorial to Smallwood. Fine Monument - at Claremont. President Pollard in Charge-Wife and Daughter Striking Figures. President Dudley's Great Oration. Smallwood Memorial Institute was the scene of interesting and impressive exercises last Sunday, 25th ulk, when the tall, granite monument was unveiled to the founder of the institution, Rev. John J. Smallwood, Ph.D. The steamer Pocahontas had been chartered by President J. R. Pollard. It was to have left Richmond at 8:30, but it was about 9:30 before it left the wharf with the large crowd that swarmed to the wharf to take a part in the exercises. MACHINERY FAULTY The machinery was out of commission for some time and the merry party was anchored in the middle of the James River for some time. Claremont, or rather John Hay Wharf, was reached at 2:50 and the steamer was scheduled to leave at 4:20 for the return journey. The stay on the boat was so pleasant that no one was inconvenienced. Caterer James H. Frayers had charge of the refreshments and that part of the affair was admirably handled. PYTHIAN CADETS HAPPY. The Pythian Cadets in two companies and in battalion formation went down and the boys enjoyed themselves. The Sharon Band discoursed sacred music much to the edification of the ammunitionists, some of whom sang, danced, for dancing arts. The march up the hill at the institute grounds was pictureque, while the drilling and dress parade upon the college campus was even more so. President Pollard announced that thirty minutes would be allowed before the commencement of the exercises. MEMORIAL EXERCISES. When they finally assembled again many prominent persons occupied seats on the portico of Lincoln Hall, while off to the right arose a magnificent shaft, covered until the conclusion of the enclosure. The distinguished guest selected to deliver the eulogy was President James B. Dudley, of the Agricultural and Mechanical College at Greenbelt, N. C. President J. R. Pellard called the large consonance of people to order and then in polished language, punctuated with commendation introduced President John Mitchell, Jr. of Richmond, whom he declared, would introduce the orator of the occasion. EDITOR MITCHELL ENTRODUCES ORATOR. Mr. Mitchell paid a glowing tribute to the deceased and then declared that no better selection for the occasion could have been made than the distinguished North Carolinian, President James B. Dudley. It is not possible to do justice to the remarkable eulogy delivered by Dr. Dudley. He reviewed the whole career of Founder John J. Smallwood, punctuating it with references to his troubles and trials and the final success which crowned his efforts. His peroration was magnificent and then in the glimmering sunlight of the afternoon, Mrs. Bea E., Smallwood, wife of Ray. John J. Smallwood and his daughter, Thelma, on one side of the monument and one on the other. Thelma drew the cord and the magnificent granite monument stood exposed to view. THE CLOSING SCENE. Rev. A. E. Harry had charge of the religious exercises and announced the benediction. The Band had played and now the Pythian Cadets that had been drawn up on the campas marched in direction of the steamer which had given several blasts indicating that it was about to leave the wharf. It was 5:15 P.M. when she swung out and left friends on the wharf waving a farewell. The trip back was as pleasant as the one going. It may be well to state that the monument has been erected at a cost of one thousand dollars. Much of this is to be raised now and donations are being requested from the public. On the face of the shaft appear, "John J. Smallwood, Founder and President of Temperance Industrial and Collegiate Institute. Born September 17, 1865, Died September 27, 1912." Asleep in Jesus. Gatewillo, N. C.—On Wednesday, July 22nd, the remains of Mr. Thok. Cooper, of Suffolk, Va. wore brought here for interment in Lebanon Grove Cemetery. The deceased was a young man about twenty-one years, and was raised here and was both a playmate and schoolmate of the writer and friend. For the last few years he, with his mother, etc. have lived in Suffolk, Va. where they have accumulated much property. He leaves a mother, Mrs. Alexenza Gatling, a brother, Mr. Christopher C. Cooper and Sister, Miss Bessie Cooper, of Suffolk, Va. and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. The interment was in charge of Hoder and Blanchard, here. Many of his friends from Suffolk accompanied the body here. For he was a worthy young man. Dearest Tony, thou hast left us. We thy loss most deeply feel. But 'tis God who hath bereft us. He will all our sorrows heal. We know thy many trials are ended. 'Tis only love that makes us sigh. But by faith in God we'll meet the Far beyond the starry sky. With profoundest sympathy and tenderest affections for the bereaved I am one who shall ever love his moulting sashes. J. FLOYD BEAMAN Joseph J. Finney Passes Away. Funeral services of Mr. Joseph J. Finner, who died at his residence, 314 E. Preston St., City, Wednesday July 22, 10:10 P. M., took place last Sunday morning, July 29th, at 11:30 o'clock from the First Baptist Church of South Richmond, Va., of which he was a member for 12 years. Brow. A. Minga, D. D. pastor, presided a very pathetic sermon. A paper from the neighbors was read by Mrs. Etta Young and Mr. Richard Beverly sang a solo, "I Expect to be There, Don't You." The deceased is survived by his wife, and four adopted children, and a host of relatives and friends. The interment was in Maury's Cemetery, So. Richmond, Va. Undertaker A. D. Price officiated.

From South Carolina. FLORENCE, S. C., July 31.—After spending a week at Spartanburg, S. C. I returned home on Monday evening, arriving here at 8:35 on the Augusta fast mail. I left on Tuesday A. M. July 14th over the A. C. L. for Columbia. There being no smoking in that apartment I took a seat here opposite the Conductor, Clifton, occupying two seats and having shelled off I began to take some notes. The conductor and myself chatted pleasantly together a good part of the distance. During the trip, nearing Columbia, the flagman came in and referred to a fine field of cotton leading to the road. "Yes," said Conductor Clifton. "He is a first-class farmer." I then looked out of the window and saw a colored man resting on his plow waiting for the train to pass. With my mind's eye I see this farm with its straight rows of cotton even in height with his little family chopping grass near the middle and himself at the plow wiping sweat from his brow. A picture of progress and industry. As we passed Mayesville Institute at Mayesville, everybody seemed to be quite busy. A new building was in the course of erection. Miss Emma is preparing for another successful school term. Rev. J. W. Fishburn, of New York, joined us at Sumter. He in the state spending his vacation. I had not time to visit the waiting room at Columbia. A few minutes after I arrived, standing under the ahed, a neat dressed "woman" with a white apron came near. I asked her if I had time to go up-stairs before the special arrive. She pointed in front of me and said, "There it is now." At 1:10 I left Columbia on the Carolina Special, for Spartanburg, B. C. This is one of the finest trains run by the Southern Railroad. It runs from Charleston to Cincinnati via Summerville, Columbia and Spartanburg, S. C., Ashoville, Hot Springs N. C., Knoxville, Tennessee to Cincinnati, Ohio, a distance of 728 miles in 24 hours run South and 26 hours Northward. We arrived in Spartanburg at 4:15. I spent the balance of the evening at the station, quite busy, Mr. Henry Thompson, the station porter always makes it pleasant for you. About eight o'clock I took a trolley for the church, arriving there about 8:30. It was just after a sprinkle of rain. I found a beautiful brick building just finished, with electric chandeliers and carpeted aisles. I found a few : children on the stoop. Very soon after Rev. J. S. Earl, the pastor came over and we shook hands. He asked me, where was I stopping. "Nowhere," said I. "Why, you failed to drop me a card," said Rev. Earl, "no I could provide for you." After service Rev. Anderson, of Anderson and myself were invited over to the parsonage to spend the night. I found a clean bed in a neatly kept room ready and waiting for us. Soon Rev. Earl came in and asked if I needed any supper. I thanked him but told him I had been served to a lunch a few hours before. Then after chatting a few minutes, Rev. Anderson and myself fell asleep. Rev. Earl insisted on me waiting for breakfast the next morning, but I thanked him, but on account of business I left the parsonage at 5:20 for downtown, returning at 5:30 P. M. in time for the introductory sermon preached by a graduate of Benedict College, now pastoring in Texas. Thursday at ten A. M. convention called to order by the President. Rev. H. M. Moore. At eleven A. M. Rev. J. E. Kirkland of Newberry, preached the introductory sermon. Rev. Kirkland is a close reader and an eloquent speaker. On Thursday night at nine o'clock Mrs. J. S. Earl, the accomplished wife of Rev. J. S. Earl delivered the address of welcome on behalf of the M. Mariah Baptist Church. I have heard many such addresses, but none superior to this one. Mrs. Earl has a brilliant mind that has been well cultivated. The address was much enjoyed by all present. Dr. M. P. Hall, of Rock Hill preached the doctrinal sermon at the close of the welcome address of Mrs. Earl. Many thought it was the best sermon yet delivered by Dr. Hall. All enjoyed it. On Friday, Dr. C. C. Johnston of Alken delivered one of his famous lectures on Tabernacles, Its Causes and Some Helpful Remedies. It was instructive and amusing. All of us highly appreciated the wholesome advice as given by Dr. C. C. Johnson, of Alken. He gave some, very interesting statistics relative to the aberrant death rate due to the drunkard illness. It was decided to have the address printed. All the papers read were ffe. The Cradle Roll and its Possibilities, by Mrs. H. M. Moore, of Anderson. How to Reach the Young Men and Hold Them, Rev. J. H. McConnell. How A Church Hinders Its Own Progress by Neglecting the Sunday School, by Mrs. Beasley A. Pension of Sumter. 8. C Prof. T. L. Duckett spoke of the advantages of attending Bonnifett College. Dr. E. R. Roberts spoke in interest of the American Baptist Publication Society. Prof. Jonas spoke of the Industrial School at Denmark. Mrs. H. H. Hancocks spoke in interest of Seneca Institute at Seneca, S. C. At times there were likely discussions of vital questions but as a whole matters passed off quietly. On Saturday evening the concert conducted by Miss Mamia J. Brock, of Greensville and Prof. K. A. Lawton, of Sumter was conducted on a high order. A liberal collection was lifted at the close of the services. On Sunday A. M. atten o'clock the Sunday School concert was conducted by E. B. Webster, of Florence, 8. C. Quite a large crowd came out to take part in the concert. At 11:30 A. M. Dr. R. Kemp of Charleston preached the missionary sermon. He spoke of the great mission of the Church in evangelizing the world. Urging the followers of Christ to press forward laboring unceasingly for the conversion of souls. Rev. C. F. Gandy, of Anderson, preached in the afternoon, using as a text, 1st Corr. 16:13. Rev. Gandy is a fine speaker and always comes up to expectations. Rev. A. W. Brown of Belton, S. C. preached the closing sermon of the Convention, using as a text, Matt. 23:11. He was given close attention throughout. All present enjoyed the sermon preached by this young divine of the up-country section. The educational sermon preached by Rev. J. P. Garrick, of Mannling, S. C. was a well prepared discourse and did much to encourage education among our people. I met some fine people at the Convention. Mrs. H. M. Moore, of Anderson, Mrs. Bessie Penson, Sumter; Mrs. Payne, Greensville; Miss Lucie Allen, Greensville; Miss E. T. Morris, Union; the Misses Houghs, Union; Miss Marion Goodwin, Winston, S.

Lawton, principal - Graded School, Sumter, S. C.; Prof. E. L. Thomas, Anderson. Mrs. Ellen J. Curtis, of Charleston S. C. read quite an interesting paper. The Proper Organization of the Sunday School for Effective Work. I visited Dr. Sexton's drug store while in Spartanburg. I was served to cold drinks by Misses McDaniel and Daisy Williams. On Sunday afternoon I dined at the home of Dr. Sexton. Here I met Mrs. Sexton, a very fine woman and the Dr.'s mother Mrs. Sexton. They have two loving children. I also met Dr. Sexton's sisters, Mrs. Curtis Sexton also Miss Maggie Murtishaw. I left the home at eight o'clock and took a trolley for the church. Rev. J. S. Earl has so wonderfully improved the church property, since he came to Spartanburg a few years ago. Instead of a wooden building we find a handsome brick edifice coating upwards of $20,000 and a handsome parsonage. Mrs. Earl is standing shoulder with her husband in the work. They are living happily together in the parsonage, at the church. They have two loving little children, Ruth O. and Aifee, Rev. Earl is a public spirited man on a high order. I left Spartanburg on Monday at 1:40 P. M. on the Carolina Special, train No. 28, arriving at Columbia, at 5:15 P. M. I was in company with my daughter, Ruth O., Mr. Nathan Jones, of Dillon, S. C.; Mr. John Wl, Petekin, of Blenheim, S. C.; Miss Manie Gleason, of Bgenold; Mrs. Cartis, of Charleston. Master Albert Moye of Florence has returned from Georgetown, B.

She is a student of Spellman Seminary, of Atlanta, Ga. She is now at Sumter with her sister, Mrs. Dr. Maxwell. Miss Ellert Woods, of Lugoff, S.

To the readers of The PLANET: I feel it a duty as well as a privilege on my leaving Richmond to say a word to the public and members and friends of Fifth Street Baptist Church of the kindness shown to my wife and self on our leaving. Our last Sunday in Richmond will be long remembered. In the morning a large audience listened to us discuss "A Fixed Heart." At 4 P. M. another large audience was present and took communion with us for the last time. Again at 8:30 the auditorium was packed, the gallery packed and a number stood on the street and listened to us deliver our last sermon, subject, "I Will Meet You In Judgment." They gave the church a nice collection and the friends and members during the day put into our hand $54.19, as a token of respect and appreciation. This seemed not to satisfy them as we loaded our furniture on Monday during the day. At night while we were sitting at Mrs. Henrietta Brown, 209 E. Clay St., the Usher Board of Fifth Street Church came in followed by a number of faithful sisters of the church, until every room was crowded to bid us good bye. The Usher Board and Ladies' Auxiliary Usher Board selected Bro. Virgil Hawkins, who in words well chosen presented us with a purse of $12.70 to which we tried to find words to thank them, while a number stood with tears running down their cheeks. A club of ladies and friendly sisters assembled in the room where my wife was. Though having been confined to her bed for four weeks she sat up as Mrs. Mattie Anderson in behalf of a club of sisters presented Mrs. Manuel with $6.10 as a token of respect. Then came forth another club of sisters led by Mrs. Callie D. Brown and presented the Madam with a purse of $12.90 and a number of sisters as they shook hands good bye, making in all to her, $22.80, with one dollar from Sister S. Deore who is one hundred years old, which makes a total of $90.60 given to us on our leaving. In the Auxiliary Board, 6th Mt. Zion Second, New Baptist and First Churches were represented. May God bless Richmond and those who have shown their friendship. I will meet you in Judgment. Yours for high Christianity. S. C. MANIEL. First Separate Battalion Off For Camp. The National Guard of the District of Columbia, comprising nearly 1,800 men, will encamp at Virginia Beach, 20 miles from Norfolk, Va., from July 31 to August 10, 1914. One organization of this guard—the First Separate Battalion—compresses practically the only colored national guard troops in the South. All the officers of this battalion are men of our race, and the discipline maintained is well nigh perfect. These troops, who will leave Washington at 5 o'clock on the morning of July 31, are expected to reach Norfolk not later than 4 P. M. that day. There they will be landed alongside the tracks of the Norfolk and Southern Railway, an electric line, over which steam trains will carry the troops direct to Virginia Beach the same day. This stop, though short, will give the citizens of Norfolk and Portsmouth a chance to see this battalion which will report at camp more than 200 strong. In addition to this, both Sundays in camp will be holidays on which visitors will be cordially welcomed. The staff of the First Separate Battalion is as follows: Major James E. Walker, commanding; 1st Lieut. John E. Smith, Adjutant; 1st Lieut. Arthur C. Newman, Quartermaster and Commissary; Sergt. Engos B. Smith, Sergent-Major; Sergt. Francis J. Ennui, Color Sergeant. The line offers are: Co. A.—Capt Clarence C. H. Davis; 1st Lieut. Joseph H. Johnson, 2nd Lieut. West A. Hamilton; Co. B.—Capt Sylvester H. Epps, 1st Lieut. Louis H. Patterson, 2nd Lieut. Raymond A. Jackson; Co. C.—Capt. Harry D. Richardson, 1st Lieut. Thomas E. Jones, 2nd Lieut. Ulysses R. Browne; Co. D.—Capt Samuel A. Ward, 1st Lieut. Benjamin D. Boyd, 2nd Lieut. James E. Slaughter. Hospital Corps—First Lieut. Albert Ridgeley, 1st Lieut. Henry W. Freeman. Dress parades will likely be held on both Sundays, in which all troops will appear, and the First Separate Battalion will likely have dress parade by itself every third day, beginning Wednesday, August 5th.

"We find the defendant guilty of murder in the second degree." The country people who had journeyed to the metropolis do what little they could for the widow's son took Mrs. Montgomery back with them. What little brightness of hope had been within her during the trial of her boy vanished with his conviction. She had tried the day after the trial to reach the judge and appeal to him for mercy and a light sentence, but the importunities of widow, wives and children are avoided by the judiciary as much as possible. The legal representative of a great banking institution or some mighty estate or corporation has the open sesame to the chambers of the man wearing theermine, but there is not such a great number of these and the poor are a mighty multitude. At every turn the mother of James Montgomery met with an obstacle. She had no "Bia Mike" This or "Little G. B. JOHNSON Guilty of murder in the second degree. Mike" That, with political power enough to make a judge-tremble, back of her. She had no money with which to allay the litching of the palms of petty grafters who would sell the rights for silver and the poor for a pair of shoes, as they have been doing since Idaiah's time. At last she turned away and suffered herself to be taken back to the little cottage out in the country. A month before she had been a sprightly old lady, quick of step, delighted with every household task, and always finding her reward in the pride that a mother takes in a good son. But in the city she had found the waters of Maruh and the city's system had forced her down; down, down to drink of them. her tiny face whiter than the untouched scroll of judgment before sin and sorrow had ever come under heaven, and her heart—her good gentle, tender, compassionate heart—was turned to lead. A week after her departure her son was taken from his cell in the Tomea and over the Bridge of, Sighs to the criminal courts building to be sentenced. The boy stood up when the clerk bade him. He heard the question asked whether there was any reason why the penalty of the law should not be exacted from him. He could think of nothing to say save, "I am innocent." The formula of sentence was mumbled by the judge and an officer took him by the arm and led him away. As they reached the bridge over Franklin street, connecting the Tumbe and court-building, and the sunlight from the square windows struck upon them for a moment. Montgomery asked his keeper: "How many years did he say? I could not hear him." The officer looked at him uneasily and hesitated. "Life imprisonment." Montgomery staggered and the officer released his grip and caught him under the arms, thinking that he would faint. There was a sob, hard and bitter, and then the young man cried as a child would cry when an ugly tempered servant took from the nursery floor its toys newly given. The sentence of the court had swept from him the toys of young manhood and had cast them as grass into the furnace. He would never hear the sound of a woman's voice, nor the sound of laughter by man or child. He would never again see the magic line where sky and sea or woodlands meet. Even the seasons of the year were taken from him. The beauties of nature familiar to the eyes of a wholesome country boy, the spread of smiling fields, tasseled, corn waving in the wind, beading roads, glimpses of the sunlit river through foliage, quiet in the gardens in front of quiet little houses, were all taken from him as if the tail of a comet loaded with cyanogen had swept the earth and had wiped out all the loveliness that God had fashioned for his children. As the scented prisoners were he his knowledge. Touches for English makes to the state a various prince of tribute. Lieutenant Michael Kernay set in the office of his inspector and received the congratulations for his excellent work in the Montgomery case. Inspector Ranscombe looked over his list of assignments for the day and found nothing worth the time and skill of his favorite man hunter. "You have a day off, Mike," he told the Activist. the detective. Kenney rose, seated and left headquarters. A man absolutely unappreciative of the ordinary pleasures of life, he found himself at a loss what to do. There was only one thing worth while on a day off—his little flat in Oliver street. He made his way home. He rang the bell in the vestibule. The lock clicked and he entered. Kenney mounted the stairs and opened his mother's kitchen door without knocking. "Well, Mike," exclaimed Mr. Kenney in surprise, "what brings you home at this time of day?" "I gotta day off," he told her. "You're scrubbing the kitchen sure again. When'll you be done?" "Tretty soon. Mike. You go in the parlor and make yourself comfortable, and I'll bring the beer and your pipe." He did as she bade him, and she followed, clearing off a center table and placing his beer, pipe and tobacco on it. He tried several chairs. They were all stiff tufted-bought for "company." He could adjust himself to none of them comfortably. He returned to the kitchen. "Sure, lad," she replied from her knees. "I'm finished now." She made him comfortable in his old chair by the window. He was engaged in balancing himself at his favorite angle when he noticed something black on the end of the kitchen table. "What's that, old lady?" he asked curiously. The mother's face painted. He reached over and picked it up. It was a filmy and torn veil. Beneath it was a little black fan. "She forgot them—Mrs. Montgomery," explained the mother, taking the two articles from the hand of her son. "The poor little woman, the poor little woman!" She hurried with them to her bedroom, which opened on the kitchen. When she returned and began shaking down the ashes in the store she sighed. "It's terrible, Mike," she said. "The poor old mither is left out in the world to starve or die of a broken heart. Blessed Mother in Heaven, look after her." Some of the contession of the room seemed to leave it. Was there chill in the air, or did he just imagine it? He closed the window back of him. "The evidence was all one way," he grunted. "I didn't try him. I wasn't the judge or the jury. I didn't decide whether he was guilty or innocent. That ain't my job. My job is to get the evidence for the prosecution." He tried to think of something to say that would turn the conversation to some more agreeable subject, but he was a one idea man, and there was no fancy in him. From the open door of his mother's bedroom came a soft, ruffling sound. It startled him. "What's that?" he demanded. "It's that dill of a kitten, Mickey," she told him. As if in answer for himself, Mrs. Kearney's mouser rolled into the kitchen, slapping and playing with a black object, the mourning fan of Mrs. Montgomery. Kearney left his chair and went to a closet, taking down a rusty felt hat and a raincoat. "I think I'll walk around to th' Oak street station for a bit of gossip," he said. "But I'll be gettin' lunch fr ye pretty soon, Mike," she protested. "Naw; I guess I'll eat out fr a change." With a grunt of goodbye he left the flat. [TO BE CONTINUED] THE ASPEN At that awful hour of the Passion when the Saviour of the world felt desiried in his agony; when dying Lord could view: when earth, shaken with horror, rang the pasking bell for Delly and universal nature, grinned, then from the loftiest tree to the lowest flower all felt a sudden thrill and, trembling, bowed their heads—all save the proud and obdurate aspen, which said: "Why should we weep and tremble? We trees and plants and flowers are pure and never sinned." Are it ceased to speak an involuntary trembling seized its every leaf, and the word want forth that it should never rest, but tremble on until the day of judgment—Old Legend. SAGES ON MAN.

BOWSER'S BARGAIN But a Complication of Affairs Spoils the Preposed Sieets—Mr. B. Discovery ers That the Night Air Is Full of a Number of Things. BY M. QUAD. THERE was no red lantern as a danger signal. There was no raven to croak. There was no warning in the evening breeze. But as suddely as a workman quits when the whistle blows the Bowser doorbell was yanked. The cook took her hands out of the dishwater to run upstairs and answer the summons and received a bundle which she bore to the slitting room. "There must be some mistake," said Mrs. Bowser, "I have ordered nothing sent up today." "There is no mistake about it," replied Mr. Bowser. "This is a hammock I bought this afternoon at 20 per cent off, because it was late in the season." "But we have no place for a hammock." "Haven't we got a back yard?" "Yes, but there is no shady spot for a hammock." Bowser Does Not Seek Ease. "I am not looking for shady spots, Mrs. Bowser. I want you to talk sensibly for once in your life. Do you know that I have got to harden myself up for the coming day or THE BOWERS CAT AND THE INTERLOPES COLLIDED. THE BOWERS CAT AND THE INTERLOPE COLLIDED. "run a terrible risk of a physical colapse. with the advent of the first real hot wave?" "No, I didn't know it. I thought you were in splendid health. Only last night I heard you telling Brown"— "Never mind what I told Brown. A man may be at death's door and yet not like to have people talking about it and sympathizing. I may look well and have a good appetite, but the fact remains that a puff would blow out the name of life. I have kept this fact from you for weeks and weeks but I feel you ought to know it." "And the hammock is going to save you from being puffed out?" she asked as the family cat came out from under the piano to take a hand in the game. "I hope and trust it is. Acting under the advice of one of the best doctors in town, I am going to try to harder myself up before the hot weather becomes too oppressive. I shall put that hammock up in the back yard this evening." "And I shall pass the night in the hammock—many nights. The doctor says I must have a free circulation of air and that instead of avoiding the night dews I must revel in them, so to say. Man was never born to sleep in a bed as we do. Adam roasted at night under a tree. So did all the other men for hundreds of years. Whenever you find the hardiest men you find men who keep in the open air by day and night. I have coddled myself up too much." "Well, when you have a sore throat, a cold in the head and are aching with rheumatism from head to heel, perhaps you'll keep on coddling," she answered. "Any doctor who told you such stuff for truth is an idiot." "There you go!" exclaimed Mr. Bowser as he hothead to pace up and down the room, followed by the cat. "I might have known you wouldn't talk sense. I never start in to better my health but you oppose the idea. If you are hoping I may collapse on the street and be brought home as dead as a doornail, why don't you say so and have done with it." Mrs. Bowser Scents Trouble Again. "Go ahead with your hammock cure," she quietly replied. "If the doctor said it would harden you up then of course it will. Don't put the blamo off on me, however." "Blame? Blame? How can I blami you?" "I don't know, but you probably will." "I'll probably do nothing of the kind By George, but I wonder if there is another such aggravating woman on the face of the earth." Mrs. Bower had nothing more to say. Mr. Bower kicked things out of his way as he walked, and the cat rubbed against a leg of the piano and saw fun ahead. Half an hour later the hammock was slung between two of the clothline posts. It was a fairly dark evening, and Mr. Bower congratulated himself that none of the Neighbors had got on to his little subway. At 1 o'clock he was ready to try the cure. He tried to draw Mr. Bowser into an argument about it, but she kept clear and went upstairs as he started out. Bunheaded, and with coat and vest out, he fell into the hammock with a great of satisfaction and began counting the stars in the vault above. Unnoticed by him, the cat had followed at his house. The night cure was nothing new to her, and she went wandering about the yard in search of summer novelties. Ten minutes had passed, and Mr. Bowser had just indulged in a sneeze, which set the hammock swinging when the head of a neighbor's cat appeared above the fence. For a few brief seconds the Bowser cat and the interloper exchanging glances of hate and distrust and censure, and then on top of the fence they collided. "By the great born spoon" "ojaculated Mr. Bowser as he rolled about and finally fell out of the hammock. By the time he had hit the earth the inter- loper was a licked feline and was beard scrambling over a fence three yards below. Enter a Camina Intruder It was evident that the cure had a few drawbacks, but after cussing softly to himself for a minute the patient climbed back into the hammock and tried to make himself believe that he already felt better. He shut his eyes tightly, determined to sleep, and the premonitory tingle of a second unease was being faintly felt when there was a yell and a hiss, and the cat went up the fence and over it like a flash, and a dog was left whining and growling within ten feet of the hammock. The canine had crept under the alley fence, and the Bowser cat hadn't waited to ask any questions. "By thunder! Can't a man find five minutes' peace in his own back yard?" shouted Mr. Bowser as he rolled out and looked for a clothes prop as a weapon of offense. He ran that dog three times across the yard before the animal could find the hole he came in at and got out again, and when he returned to the hammock the romance of the night was gone. If he hadn't caught sight of Mrs. Bowser peering from one of the back windows he might have decided to call things off until the next night. That settled matters, however. He dropped into the hammock and huddled himself up, and the cat came back and set on the force and looked down upon him with guardian eyes. Two minutes stole quietly away, and the crickets had begun to sing low and drownly, when something fell from the sky with a great slash and clatter and missed Mr. Bowser and his hammock by only a few inches. "Something" Was an Old Bucket. "By the club foiled king, but who did that?" he demanded as he rolled out to find that the "something" was an old pall. He had scarcely uttered the word when an Early Rose potato whizzed with his ear and struck the fence with a bang, and it was followed by a Florida cabbage stalk, which emitted a moaning sound as it grinded the top of his head. The cat realized that she wasn't in it and took a skip, but Mr. Bowser wasn't to be bluffed. "You reptiles, I'll have you jugged for this," he shouted as he looked around and failed to locate any one. "Do you know?" Then there were missiles which he believed to be orbs and tomatoes and green corn cobs and ancient lemons, and all he could do was to jump up and down and demand that his hidden foes stand forth and be slaughtered. He thought he caught sight of some one on the valley fence, and he made a wild charge, but he had no sooner reached it than the heavens rained tin cans, bottles, old hats and shoes, and he was compelled to turn and flee for his life. Mrs. Bowser came downstairs to find him in the sitting room, white faced, big eyed and panting, and after a look at him she said: "Have you got hardened up for the hot ware as quick as this?" "Woman, how dare, you look me in the face?" he demanded as he turned on her. "Don't you suppose I know all about your little plot to have me killed, murdered, assassinated in my own back yard? I say, dare you" "You'd better come to bed," she quietly replied, and she went upstairs, and he slowly followed and hadn't another word to say. Certainly Not.

M is President. This organization is doing a great work and we hope that the meeting will be largely attended. THE PLAY FOR THE PRESIDENCY . We are publishing in full this preck the account of the political situation in New York. President Roosevelt proceeded to create a sensation by his open attack upon Hon. Charles F. Whitman, who is admittedly a candidate for the governorship of New York State, which position is really the "key" to the presidency of the United States. Col. Roosevelt based his attack upon Mr. Whitman upon his failure to condemn openly Chairman Barnes of the Republican State Committee and Chief Murphy, of Democratic Tammany Hall. Just how this failure constituted a political crime has not been yet explained as he had proven his independence of party bosses and had declared that he would not be controlled by them. Col Roswell then openly endorsed Candidate Hinman, who conformed to the requirements of the great statesman of Sagamore Hill. In the meantime Hon. Job Hedges has announced his candidacy as a straightout Republican in the Republican gubernatorial primaries and he pledges himself to abide by the action of that party as expressed in those primaries. Mr. Whitman pledges himself to also support the nominees of the Republican Party. Mr. Hinman, when questioned will not commit himself. Col. Roosevelt has embarrassed his supporters in the Progressive Party by his attitude in this matter and he has openly announced that it is "Hinman or nobody," so to speak, for he declares plainly that he will support him for Governor regardless of what his party associates as expressed through the primaries may do. This indicates, so the "wise-acre" say, that Col. Roosevelt is coming back to the Republican Party for the purpose of controlling it and bringing with him all of the new dogmas that he has enunciated and the new principles that he has promulgated in the Progressive Party platform. It is charged, too, that Hon. Charles S. Whitman is the most probable candidate of the Republican Party for the presidency, provided he can carry New York State by a tremendous majority. There can no longer be any doubt, but what there are thousands and tens of thousands of dissatisfied Democrats who will support any party that seems to have a chance of success at the polls during the next presidential election, whether that party be the Progressive or the Republican. The trend in the country is towards the Republican Party. The handicap has been the lack of a candidate, a man of commanding importance. Gov. Hadley, of Missouri, would make an admirable vice-presidential candidate, but who can be found to head the ticket? A man is wanted who will be conservative, while not abandoning the fundamental principles of the Repub- President Woodrow Wilson has succeeded in holding his party together in the matter of placing legislation upon the statute books of the country, but the remedies submitted have not accomplished the promised results. It appears that the Republican Party has been thoroughly chastened and is now in a mood to be penitent and appear as a candidate for public favor. The radical reforms have caused a condition in the country which has aroused the apprehension of the rank and file of all voters in this country. Col. Roosevelt will be one of the most disturbing factors in the political affairs of this country for some time to come. His aim will be to control and direct. Falling in this, he will do all in his power to sow the seed of dissension in the nation and to embarrass every political leader regardless of party, that succeeds in securing political control at Washington. It appears to us that he has left the rostrum of the statesman for the platform of the politician. When he learned to discriminate against American citizens on account of their race and their color, we lost all faith in him and we doubt if a lifetime will be sufficient time for him to regain in the minds of the American electorate all that he has lost. O, the pity of it. We had always regarded Hon. John Gatland Pollard as a typical Victorian of the Old School. He trained with the higher type of citizens in this State and we had no morant elements and that they had no desire to humiliate, disfranchise or oppress those colored men who were adding to the material prosperity of the commonwealth. They cited the election laws as enacted by the unconstitutional Constitutional Convention in this State and pointed out that worthy colored men were not disfranchised by its provisions. Thousands of colored men took them at their wort and did all in their power to justify the confidence imposed in them. As a result many affiliated with the Democratic Party and openly voted the Democratic ticket and supported some of our best white citizens at the polls. They went further and applied for permission to vote in the Democratic primaries. At the recent primary election for members of the Administrative Board, a large number of our most influential colored men voted for the candidates and thereby produced themselves as members of the Democratic Party to support the nominees of that Party at future elections. A question was submitted to Attorney General John Garland Pollard for his opinion. Now Mr. Pollard is a sworn official of the State of Virginia, and as such has taken an oath to recognize the civil and political equality of all men before the law. This includes the oath to support and maintain the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States. In his reply, he admits that it is not his duty to answer the question propounded to him by Mr. James E. Dickerson, an ardent "Negro-hater" for he says: "Under the law, I am made the legal adviser of the governor and officials and boards at the seat of government, and the tendering of opinions to individuals is not within my duty as prescribed by law." After making this admission, he "stumbles over himself," in his desire to express his personal opinions, relative to an official query and thus mixes up Pollard, the Attorney General, with Pollard, the politician. He explains this in the following language: "But as a personal courtesy to you, and because as a democrat and a citizen I am greatly interested in the question you propound, I herein give you my view as to the status of the law under the primary act approved March 25, 1914. It provides as follows: "All persons qualified to vote at the election for which the primary is held, and not disqualified by reason of other requirements in the law of the party to which he belongs, may vote at the primary," etc. "From the above language it would seem that the general assembly has expressly recognized the right of parties to prescribe qualifications to vote in primaries other than the qualifications set out in the general law. The Democratic party plan, adopted February 13, 1913, expressly provides that only white Democrats may participate in the primary." Granted that the General Assembly did so. recognize it, is it possible that the General Assembly and the party platform are above the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the State of Virginia and the Constitution of the United States? Attorney General Pollard virtually admits that he did not carry his investigations beyond this point. He continued: "While I am of the opinion that the general assembly has the power to take away from party authorities the right to prescribe different qualifications for participating in primaries than those prescribed for general elections, yet it also has the right to permit party authorities to prescribe qualifications for participation in party primaries, and this permission is given by the terms of the statute quoted. I am, therefore, of the opinion that the rule of the Democratic party limiting the electorate in primaries to white Democrats is valid. For the information of Attorney General Pollard, we would call his attention to the Constitution of the United States. It reads: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State, on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." When the General Assembly of Virginia made the primary a part of the election machinery of the commonwealth, it became subject to the aforeword provision of the Constitution of the United States and all provisions in contravention of any of its provisions are unconstitutional. Attorney General Pollard is processing just as though Virginia has withdrawn from the Union and is not subject to any laws enacted by any other body in the world. When he takes the position that a body of politicians and party magnates can set aside the law either of the State or nation, his opinion becomes ridiculous and can not do otherwise than awaken the decision of right-thinking people everywhere. Mr. Pollard was so anxious to come to the front and demonstrate his antipathy to colored people, that he said: "Allow me to add that Virginia's sad experience with fraud and corruption, indirect and encouraged by negro suffrage, is sufficient justification for my saying that those who seek to again introduce the negro problem into our primary or general elections should be considered as enemies both to the State and the party." There is one thing noticeable in this matter and that is that this opinion is that of "John Garland Pollard" and not of "John Garland Pollard. Attorney General." for he did not sign it in his official capacity but only as an individual. It therefore has no binding effect upon any Democratic official in this State and is no more than the opinion of any other lawyer who does not hold office. The intention of this letter is to embarrass colored men and to handicap Democratic officials who permitted these same colored men to vote in accordance with the law. To emphasize the situation, and to make plain the condition, Hon. John Garland, Pollard states that Democratic officials with the authority of the General Assembly of Virginia can not naught a constitutional provision of the United States. To argue such a proposition with an intelligent electorate or with competent jurists would be ridiculous. This is the logical sequence of a lawyer pandering to race prejudice. We have not been as yet able to understand why colored men should want to put themselves in such an embarrassing predicament, but it is a fact that many of our best colored citizens insist upon so doing. Certainly if the Democratic managers in this city do not want us we do not want them. We can afford to wait until some party makes a bid for our votes and when that is done and we can consistently support its principles, then we shall be pleased to come forward and be bound by its rules and regulations.

Henderson, M. M., Principal of the Industrial Union Training School and Orphanage, Southern Pines, N. C. Missing A Tour. Rev. James M. Henderson, principal of the Industrial Union Training School and Orphanage of Southern Pines, N. C. is making a tour to raise $25,000 to meet the increased demands of the School. He is now in Washington, D. C., where he has spoken in several of the churches, and made many friends among the best people both colored and white. Several meetings are scheduled for August. The school Mr. Henderson conducts differs from the letter known Negro institutions, in that it has an orphanage in connection. The object of the school is to teach boys and girls how to earn their own living in the industries, particularly in agriculture, carpentry, bricklaying, concrete work and domestic service. The Institution was founded as a result of a conference of the leading Negroes of North Carolina, held in the town of Concord, N. C. in Nineteen hundred and one. These men said that it had often been declared that the Negro was doing hardly anything to improve himself, and that the time had come to demonstrate that the Negro could and would help himself. Accordingly the plan of establishing an educational institution, with an Orphanage connected, was bronched, and as a result the Industrial Union Training School and Orphanage was incorporated by a group of the conferences. This corporation owns all the property, which consists of a twenty-five acre farm on the Pinehurst Road and the frame buildings on an eight acre campus, that comprise the Institute proper. On the farm the boys are laughed to raise peanuts, watermelons, sweet potatoes, poultry and other products, the sale of which brings some revenue to the school. The girls do laundry work and are taught to become useful domesticies and housewives. The buildings include ten one story and a half frame buildings and a three story school house, which also contains the printing department. The advisory board of the institute has as many Northern as Southern friends of the Negro. Mr. Henderson is encouraged by the support friends in this velpity have given him, and he has great hope of being able to bring about the collection of an endowment fund that will make it possible for the institution to carry on a more extensive work than is now possible.

Five hundred persons were driven from their homes when fire swept half of Greenwood, a town twenty miles south of Dover, Del., destroying nearly a score of dwellings and stores, the postoffice and many shanties. The loss is estimated at $100,000. No lives were lost, but eleven Greenwood men, members of the volunteer fire companies, were burned in fighting the fire. The fines were discovered in the store of Emeryville, City, on the west side of the railroad tracks. The alarm was sounded by a police canon. Before volunteer, the area of the town could respond with a clanging alarm to the fire had been put off. This building burned within ten minutes, it saw a ware of suchs of wood, tile and other office equipment, all money, the postmaster said, was stalled in a safe, which was found buried beneath smouldering jobs that had or shed down upon it when the roof caved in. A heavy wind carried fire brands to every section of the town. A freight rain, was halted on the outskirts of the town, while its crew deserted to aid the firemen. The engineer tied down the whistle to alarm the countryside and bring ald. The wind swept the flames across the railroad tracks blazing the town, the railroad employees combining to save the station, which a dozen times was in danger. The fire is supposed to have started from mice nibbling matches. R. H. Willey, proprietor of the store in which the fire was discovered, said that when he opened up for business he found the rear of the store a mass of frames. Girl Shot by Suitor Dies.

If Russia aids Servia, Germany and Italy would join forces with Austria, as parties to the Triple Alliance. Then as other members of the Triple Entente, France and England would have to aid Russia. Thus, a war with the six great powers of Europe arrayed against each other, might be witnessed. Bulkaria, Turke) and Greece might be expected to support Servia. Austria-Hungary has declared war on Servia. Official notification of the declaration of hostilities was sent to the Servian government by the Vienna government. It is reported that the invasion of Servia has already begun. Some reports have it that three Austrian army corps have crossed the border and begun the invasion, and that Belgrade was to be seized or already has been taken. A rumor came from Sofia, capital of Bulgaria, that Austrian troops invaded Servia at five different points on the northern frontier. It was certain at least that Austria was massing her forces and would strike soon, if she already has not struck. Austrian troops seized two Servian steamers at Orchaua, on the Danube, and detailed the passengers. It was declared in Berlin that there was no confirmation of the reported Russian mobilization. If Russia took this step, it was said, it would mean war, and Germany would strike immediately. Russia is reported to have 80,000 troops massed on the German border alone, and to have effected the mobilization of virtually her whole army. Upon the action of Russia depends the question as to whether the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente will be forced into a death struggle. Germany asked definite assurances from the Rumanian government as to the attitude of Rumania toward Austria and Servia. Pessimism seized Europe as hope of affecting a peaceful settlement went glimmering. At the same time, while every nation on the Continent prepared for eventualities, hope was still entertained that the conflict might be localized and the dreaded conflagration of Europe avoided. The most depressing influence was the rejection simultaneously by Germany and Austria of the British proposal for an ambassadorial conference in London to settle the Balkan turmoil by mediation. Germany said the plan was not prac- PECK'S BONG! BONG! BONG! ticable, but seemed to look kindly on the principle. The kaiser's government made the counter suggestion that the negotiations be carried on through the cabinets. This might aid in localising the war. Russia was said to have received assurances that Austria sought to solve no Serbian territory. This, it was thought, might induce the car to keep hands off and prevent a clash between the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente. Nevertheless, military preparedness was the keynote with all the powers. Even the British battle fleets were held in readiness for instant use, and everywhere publicity of military movements is prohibited. The Geoffman fleet was ordered to concentrate at Villadima haven. A report came from Semla, on the Servian frontier, that the Servian parliament had decided to acquire without condition to the Austrian dmands. In Vienna it was announced that even if Servia bowed submissively now, events had gone too far to permit of acceptance of the original conditions of the ultimatum. Anti-war riots occurred in Paris and Berlin announced that all street demonstrations would be suppressed. Cossacks, were reported to have fired on German officers on the border. Vienna is absolutely without news of the movement of the troops, which the papers are naturally forbidden to print. A sharp censorship has been established over the press and all means of communication. Advices from Belgrade say that the Servian capital is now located at Nish, where the skupschtina (national assembly) met. All Servians between eighteen and sixty years of age able to bear army have been called out and mobilization is proceeding rapidly, although the peacants, who will have to leave their harvesting, are reported to be much discontented. The Militärische Rundschau reports sharp fighting along the River Drina, where Servian volunteers who attempted to cross the river were resolutely opposed by Austrian frontier troops. It also reports that Servians fired on their own river transports by mistake, killing and wounding a number of Servian soldiers. CZAR TO AID SERVIA; DEFIES THE KAISER Russia May Precipitate General European War. The war crisis is becoming more grave. The foreign office in St. Peterburg, Russia, said that Germany refused to take part in a conference on the ground that it was purely an Austro-Servian conflict. Russia answers that if Austria invades Serbia, then Russia will issue immediately general mobilization orders, which will be followed by war with Austria. The ear received a lengthy message from Emperor William, urging that it would be least disastrous to Europe if Austria and Servia settled their differences without interference. Russia rejected the proposal and affirmed that she would enforce the integrity of Servia's territory as if it were Russian. The ministry of the interior now is encouraging Serbophile demonstrations. They alone are exempt from the order prohibiting all public meetings. Mines have been laid in all the Baltic ports and ships quenched. Shipping interests have been warned that the Russians are preparing to invade Austria. The war office has taken over the western railroads. Forty-Day Fast Fatal James Fitzpatrick died in Chambersburg, Pa., Monday, after a forty-day fast. He was employed on the county farm for years. On June 16 he began the fatal fast, drinking nothing but small quantities of water and coffee: He ended the fast on July 29 greatly weakened. He was unmarried. Although given nourishment consistently, he grew weaker until his death came. محمد بن محمد SOLDIERS FIRE ON DUBLIN MOB The Nationalists Land Arms and Stone Pursuing Soldiers, Who Fire a Volley. Three men are one woman are dead and more than sixty persons are in the hospital in Dublin, Ireland, wounded, as the result of a battalion of the King's Own Scottish Borderers firing into a mob in the streets of Dublin. Seven of the persons wounded are expected to die. Among them are three women and a boy of ten. The affray was the result of a gunrunning exploit of the Nationalist Volunteers, who were being added by a mob compass largely of women and youths. A conglament of rifles, said to number 10,000, was landed at Howth, nine miles from Dublin, from a private yacht. The Nationalist Volunteers cut the telegraph wires and stopped travel on the Dublin roads and, according to reports, sent away most of the rifles, to gather with 70,000 rounds of ammunition, in motor cars. A battalion of the King's Own Scottish Borderers was ordered to capture the arms when the autogratifies heard the Volunteers were bringing them into the city. The soldiers encountered a detachment of Volunteers at Cornellbridge, and an outbreak resulted, but there was no shooting. Soon a great crowd collected and followed the troops, feering them and cheering for John E. Redmond, the Nationalist leader, and home rule. Finally the mob began throwing bottles and stones, injuring several soldiers. The battalion replied with a scattered fusillade. In an instant the street was covered with the wounded, while terrified men, women and children ran in all directions. St. Juras hospital is situated only 200 yards from the scene of the affray, and the wounded were quickly taken there, where wounds of them died from their wounds. The soldiers and police seized a hundred rifle from the Volunteers. Excited crowds filled the streets of Dublin, some of the men carrying rifles. The Borderers are confined to barracks to prevent the people from attacking them. A street car in which a soldier was riding was wrecked, but the soldier, escaped.

Colonel Roosevelt made reply at Oyster Bay, L. L. to the $50,000 libel suit of William Barnes, the summons in which was served on him, by a renewed attack on the Republican state committee's chairman. The writ is based on a statement by the colonel attacking Mr. Barnes and Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany leader, and endorsing Harvey D. Hilmans' candidacy for the governorship. The colonel said he would not be deferred by the suit from attacking Mr. Barnes, but, on the contrary, he would assail him the harder. He expressed the hope that he would have the opportunity to go on the witness stand against Mr. Barnes before the November election. Opens at 7 P.M.

Col. Roosevelt Attacks District Attorney Whitman--Will Support Republican Candidate for Governor. Indicates His Desire to Return to the Republican Party as Leader--A Peculiar Situation. Washington. July 23.—Theodore Roosevelt's endorsement of Harvey Hirschman candidate for the nomination for Governor in New York, has stunned Pgressive leaders in Washington and may result in serious disconnections in the third party. It may be said on authority that a majority of the Progressive leaders expected Mr. Roosevelt to be the party's candidate for Governor in New York this fall and they were of the opinion that if he did not enter the race he would support a Simon purge Progressive. His letter indorsing Mr. Hirman, who supported Taft in 1912, was a joke to such Progressive leaders as Representative Murdock, of Kansas, the standpatients of the third party, who are opposed to fusion or affiliation of any sort with Republicans. "The trial can of course be delayed for a year and a half or two years. But if he wishes to have the issue settled on its merits he can bring the controversy into court before October." The Supreme Court of Albany moves faster than that of New York, but other lawyers doubted yesterday that the case could be tried before the election in November. Mr. Tyla prepared the summons and complaint yesterday afternoon and Mr. Barnes certified them at 6 o'clock. Barnes Has a Little Joke. Chairman Barnes in his conversation with Mr. Tyla laughingly remarked that he had been kept in office as Surgeon of Port at Albany by Mr. prepared statement urging independent citizens of all parties to support a non-partisan ticket this year in New York State. "If a Progressive, of high character should obtain the necessary 3,000 signatures and have his name entered upon the Progressive primary ticket as a candidate against Senator Hirman whom would you support?" the Colonel was asked. "I should vote for Mr. Hirman," he replied. Col. Roosevelt in an effort to make it clear that he has not been prompted by any selfish reason in giving his support to Mr. Hirman, who remained loyal to Taft and the Republican organization in 1912, said: "I have not and shall not have a thing in the world that I shall want None of the Progressives in Wash- ington makes the statement direct that Closevelt gave assurances that he would not support any Repub- lican candidate in New York this fall, but all of them gained the impression that he would stand or fall with the third party. Expected Colonel's Candidacy. They fully expected to see the Colonel announce his candidacy for the Gubernatorial nomination, although they had doubts as to the wisdom of the course. They were totally unprepared for the announcement that the ex-President had indorsed Mr. Hinnan and that Mr. Roosevelt's indorsement had the support of such leaders as George Perkins. Hinnan was the one included to believe that Mr. Roosevelt's support of Hinnan in New York may be followed by his indorsement of Republican candidates elsewhere. While they are not talking for publication at this time they express the fear privately that Col. Roosevelt has embarked on a course that may lead to fusion with Republicans in a number of States. Mr. Murdock has repeatedly said that under no circumstances would he countenance fusion with Republicans, and there is reason to believe that if it were not so, he would speeches for Mr. Olinman he would decline, even if urged by Col. Roosevelt. The Kanaan is of the opinion that the Progressives and Republicans are fundamentally divided, and that if there is fusion of any sort it is more likely to be with disaffected elements of the Democratic party in the South. The so-called "progressive" Republicans and "regulars" who are anxious to win with any candidate that will win the election are over Col. Roosevelt's Indemnity of Hinnan. They declare that it is the beginning of a get together movement among Republicans that assures for the party in the campaign of 1916. Democratic Leaders (Chagrin). Democratic leaders are chagrined over recent developments in New York. Roosevelt's endorsement of Litman comes at a time when the Democrats of the State are split from centre to circumference. The Democrats concede that under the most favorable conditions they will spend time in New York this year, and with a major portion of the Progressives, headed by Col. Roosevelt, supporting a. Republican candidate running on an "anti-boss" platform they confess that their Gubernatorial nominee will be greatly handicapped. Col. Roosevelt is receiving credit for great finesse in handling the New York situation. Leaders here say that if he has eliminated District Attorney William H. McCormick, New York man who might have sized up as a contender for Presidential honors in 1916. FORESEE COLONEL'S RETURN. Chicago Republican Leaders So Regard Hinman Indemnation. Chicago, July 23—Col. Roosevelt is "coming back," at least Chicago Republican think so. John F. Devine, chairman of the Republican county central committee, and Edward J. Brundage, leaders of rival factions in the Republican camp in Cook county, were able to agree on this forecast today. They take it from Col. Roosevelt's indemnation of Harvey D. Hinman for the Republican nomination for Governor or of New York that the Colonel is preparing to return to his old party in the next Presidential campaign. William Barnes began a $50,000 libel suit against Theodore Roosevelt yesterday. He wants damages because of the reference to him in the pro-Hinman, anti-Barnes, and anti-Murphy statement put for by the Colonel Wednesday night and published, yesterday morning. The summons and complaint in the light by James S. Y Ivins, son of William M. Ivins, Mr. Barnes's attorney. Mr. Roosevelt's only comment was "this was two hours before the papers reached him: "Let Mr. Barnes go ahead. have never said anything yet and could not make it good. That's all." He will say nothing more until he has committed counsel. The trial, if there is one, will be in Albany county, the home of Mr. Barnes, unless the Colonel gets a change of venues. Young Mr. Irvins said last night, that Mr. Barnes is anxious to have the issue decided before the September primaries. "If Mr. Roosevelt wishes to adopt constructive action," he continued. "the trial can of course be delayed for a year and a half or two years. But if he wishes to have the issue settled on its merits he can bring the controversy into court before October." The Supreme Court of Albany moves faster than that of New York, but other lawyers doubted yesterday that the case could be tried before the election in November. Mr. Tvips prepared the summons and complaint yesterday afternoon and Mr. Barnes certified them at the Republican Club at 6 o'clock. Barnes Has a Little Joke. Chairman Barnes in his conversation with Mr. Ivins laughingly remarked that he had been kept in office as Surveyor of Port at Albany by Mr. Roosevelt during the seven years he was in the White House. This comment, Mr. Ivins said, was in reference to the sentence in Mr. Roosevelt's statement where he said that Barnes and Murphy "hold no offences." "Mr. Barnes remarked to me while he was going over the papers," Mr. Ivins said at Oyster Bay, "that Mr. Roosevelt had done the unusual thing last year by using a Michigan editor who called him a drunkard. He added that he was simply following the president then established by the ex-President." When the newspaper correspondents visited Saxageum Hill before the president served the Colonel was seated on his current parch with Archil and Quentin, his two younger sons. His knuckle riding suit was soaking wet. "Hello," said the Colonel, in welcoming the interviewers. "It's the Black suit, it is." He smiled as he diluted his brief statement and did not seem worried. Mr. Irvins reached Sagamore Hill a few minutes after a o'clock. Col. Roosevelt left the dinner table and greeted him cordially. Mr. Irvins said, "I'm sorry, Colonel, to disturb you if a matter of this kind." "That's all right," the Colonel assured him. Neither of them mentioned Mr. Barnes. The Colonel held out a box of cigars, but the young lawyer said, "No, thanks." Col. Roosevelt held on to the table, but did not read them while Mr. Irvins was present or ask any questions. Mr. Barnes is asking his former friend the Colonel because of such sentences picturing the "rottenness" of the State government as directly due to dominance in foliage of Mr. Murphy and his suboss * * * * * alled and abetted when necessary by Mr. Barnes and the subosses of Mr. Murphy and his suboss * * * * * the State chairman lays emphasis on no particular sentence of the attack. The entire Rosenstel statement is embodied in the complaint. Charge of Mallee Made. The document also says that the reference were "illibious, false and untrue," were made maliciously and with intent to injure, "and for the purpose of defaming and injuring the legitimate political influence and activity of the plaintiff in the performance of his duty of citizenship. Charles F. Murphy, who shared with Mr. Barnes the Colonel's invective, has no intention of suing. He was so happy yesterday because Mr. Goosevelt, had sent the Republican and Democratic Party to him for his combination of Hinnan that he spoke with cheerful affection of "Teddy." "It's nothing new for Teddy to attack me," rambled Mr. Murphy at Tammany Hall. "He's done that before. He did it away back when Dix was running for Governor." Mr. Barnes acted instantly after consuming the Colonel's blast along with his breakfast yesterday morning. As if he had made up his mind some time ago what he should do when assaulted again, he sent for William M. Irving and asked him to begin suit at once. Mr. Barnes then dictated this statement for the public: "I have nothing whatever to say in reply to the Colonel's distraite except that it lacks dignity, self-restraint and kindness. When an issue of this kind is raised by a person of such prominence one has but three courses—to submit to the asperion, to enter into an unsceneous personal controversy, or to appeal to the courts in order to enable the person who entered a lilieu to establish the facts by legal evidence. "I deny the truthfulness of every statement made by Mr. Roosevelt in his publication 'this morning,' and have instructed my counsellor, Mr. Ivina, Wolf & Hoguet, to bring an action for libel without delay against him. The issue in the primary canvas of the Republican party is in no way related to me, and the issue between Mr. Roosevelt and me will be judiciously determined." William M. Ivina said later: "Mr. Barnes's purpose is to give Mr. Roosevelt an opportunity to prove the truth of his allegations if he thinks he can do so." Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 22—Theodore Roosevelt will support Harvey D. Hinnman, a Republican for the Gubernatorial nomination in the Progressive primary even should a straight out, simon-pure Progressive of high character enter the context against the Broome county man. The Colquef made his declaration to-night just after he had issued a prepared statement urging independent citizens of all parties to support a non-partisan ticket this year in New York State. "If a Progressive of high character should obtain the necessary 3,000 signatures and have his name entered upon the Progressive primary ticket as a candidate against Senator Hinnan, you should support" the Colonel was asked. "I should vote for Mr. Hinnan," he replied. Col. Roosevelt in an effort to make it clear that he has not been prompted by any selfish reason in giving his support to Mr. Hinnman, who remained loyal to Tatt and the Republican Party in 1912. "I have not and shall not have a thing in the world that I shall want to ask of Mr. Hinnman and his associates on the ticket if the are elected—as I believe they will—save only that they give New York State's cleanest and most efficient government it has ever had, and cut out all unnecessary equipment in which it appears without the slightest reference as to whom it affects." The Colonel's Statement. Col. Roosevelt's former statement dealing with the State situation, given out in typewritten form, reads: I rebelate at the statement of Mr. Hinman. In this statement I have a duty to the Progressives of the nation and a duty also to the State of New York. In national politics, in so far as I am able, I shall endeavor to strive for the success of the principles embodied in the Progressive national platform, in order to allay the plains of the present Administration, which I regard as deeply Injurious alike to the honor and the interest of the American people. But in this State the prime duty is a good citizen' movement, a union movement to save the State from the bipartisan control of Messrs. Barnes and Murphy, precisely like the good citizen' movement last year, when by union the city was saved from the domination of Mr. Murphy. I hope with all my heart that all independent citizens, whether Progresive, Republican, Democrat, will be in their national affiliation, will be minded to shoulder for clean nonpartisan government in the State at large this fall. he is in special machine positions when he will, with strength and good faith, county and by some extent his father and Mr. Murphy and please himself so do all he can to eliminate them from the control of political affairs and in destroying them to destroy that system which renders possible such pernicious activities as theatr. And Mr. Hirman, with the courage which one would expect from his record and from his high and fine character, has come forward and rendered this service. Surely the time is ripe when all good citizens, no matter what their party affiliations, should join together in support of a ticket the success of which would mean the overthrow of both Mr. Barnes and Mr. Murphy, the elimination of bipartisan boss rule from the political system of the State and the installation into the public service of the State of men elected of the party, solely by group and their cohesion, their efficiency for the particular work they have to do. If the political conditions in New York were such as they are in California, then our public need could be met by rallying behind such a man as Hiram Johnson and supporting him and his associates; but in New York the two strongest parties numerically are both in such shape that the rank and file are tied hand and foot by the bosses. We Progressives are pledged to work disinterestedly for the good of the country and single man or woman to make in this State this fall our duty is to endeavor to unite with the highest rank and file of the old parties for the overthroat of the two corrupt and boss ruled machines that disgrieve the political life of New York State. I would personally prefer that the ticket nominated for the purpose we have in view this fall should contain the names of representatives of the various political parties. I trust that the Progressive party at its primaries will take the same view. The essential thing is that the nominatee shall be men the highest class of people to be chosen by those whose entire records will hear the closest inspection and who have the indomitable will necessary to do the work that must be done at Albany if the honest people of this State are to come to their own. Mr. Hirman is such a man. Leaders at Oyster Bay. George W. Perkins. Progressive national chairman; Thoreau Douglas Robinson; State chairman, and Henry L. Stoddard editor of the Evening Mall, were visitors to Saxamore Hill this afternoon. They discussed with the Colonel his statement on the State situation. "I will support Himan if he enters the Progressive primary," said Mr. Robinson. "I made my position clear in a statement issued in the city to-day. I am for Himan," said Mr. Perkins. "We are all of one mind," added Mr. Stoddard. Chairman Robinson intimated that he did not expect any serious opposition to Mr. Himan on the part of the enrolled Progressives. He had no desire to make on the opposition which developed in a meeting of New York county committee last night to the suggestion of a Republican candidate for Governor being supported in the Progressive primary. The Sun is permitted to give an authorized version of the negotiations which were carried out between Col. Roosevelt and Mr. Hinnan and resulted in the Broome county man repudiating Barnes and Murphy by name in the Senate and and the yearly for the Republic and for Governor. It appears that the Colonel and not Mr. Hinnan took the initiative in the matter. First Talk Over Situation. Several days after Col. Roosevelt returned from Brazil he gave testimony in the Wallis-Mitchell suit concerning the antitheftic coal strike of 1902. Harvey D. Hinnman went to the Outlook office, as counsel in this suit, to cross-examine the Colonel, who gave testimony on behalf of John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America, the defendant in the action. After Mr. Hinnman had cross-examined the Colonel the two men discussed politics. Col. Roosevelt found, somewhat to his surprise, that he and Mr. Hinnman were in perfect accord on many subjects, particularly in their lack of affection for William Barnes, Jr. of Alany. Progressives had been urping the Colonel to run for Governor, and he saw a good chance to be elected thereby he could free himself from the monarchy of leading his party and be urged Mr. Hinnman to take the nomination on a nonpartisan anti-boss ticket. Just about this time Charles H. Duell, Jr., was quite active in trying to win the support of the Colonel for Charles S. Whitman. Mr. Whitman returned to Binghamton to think over the Colonel's suggestion, while Colonel Roosevelt continued to play the game until he was waiting. Mr. Whitman appeared ill, and he complained to Colonel Barnes, but was not particularly anxious to run for Governor, but was not particularly anxious to repudiate chairman Barnes, according to the authorized version, until after the Republican primaries. Progressive leaders from all sections of the State continued to visit the Colonel and urge him to head the State ticket, to these visitors the Colonel also gave stage of running a non-partisan ticket by a Republican like Whitman or a Democrat like Henneady on an anti-bush platform. Political Beans Are Spilled. District Attorney Whitman, who the story says, continued to nibble at the Colonel's hook, but refused to take the bait. Then the story of the "letter of doubt" became known, and the District Attorney promptly repudiated yours. Mr. Duell. This gave the Colonel some unkind words about Mr. Whitman, and Mr. Duell look the Colonel's side of the controversy. Feeling that all the noise over the Roosevelt-Whitman-Duell controversy had frightened away the beautiful statesman of Broome, the Colonel began a littleBirthday with John A. Hennessey, a Wilson Democrat. This brought Whitman back and he lost no ground. The Colonel was a member of Mr. Bromer and Mr. Murphy. The Colonel made good his part of the harsh-to-talk when he injured his stat many colleges and the great children come to the aid of the poor—and then their families will be urged to accept the nomination for Congressroster on the nomination ticket, and the Colored will continue his search for anti-Barber and anti-Murphy men with clean public and private records to take the other places on the ticket. No one would be dredged in the wool Programmus for the United States Senate. The Colonel gave both Mr. Hinnan and Mr. Hennessy to understand that he would gladly go on the stamp with them and support them. In every way possible if they would only consent to run as candidates on the non-partisan State ticket. Mr. Hennessy, who has been accredited with being a pretty shrewd politician himself, kept quiet and let the Colonel do most of the talking. He let he be known that he would not be allowed to office on any ticket. But now that the Colonel has picked Mr. Hinnan to head the ticket he is shooping that Mr. Hennessy will accept the nomination for the Comptrollership. Plain Bill Out of the War. The Colonel was as happy as a schoolboy to day. He is certain that Mr. Whitman's chances of winning the Governorship have been killed as a result of the controversy over the "Letter of Doubt." No longer is he worried by the bogey of Plain Bill Sulzer getting in and winning the Progressive nomination. The Progressive candidate has been nominated. He is Harvey D. Hinnman, of Broome county. The primary is a mere formality. Not one Progressive in the State raised his voice yesterday against the acceptance of Col. Roosevelt's Republican-Progressive nominee for Governor, Harvey D. Hinnman. State Chairman Robinson is for Hinnman. So is George W. Perkins. So, it appears, will be all the Progressives when they have read the declaration which the Colonel put forth last night. Even members of the county committee who panted for a straight Progressive ticket Tuesday night were held to the logic of circumstance. The Fifteenth Assembly district, whose leader is William Grapt Brown, is the first blooose organization to pledge itself to Mr. Hinnan. That it did last night through a resolution of the committee on candidates promising to support him as a Republican and urging him to enter the Progressive primaries as well. Further conception of how the stage was set for Hinnan's appearance as the Roosevelt by a disclosure yesterday by a disclosure was in Oyster Bay talking with the Colonel a week ago last Friday, July 17. Devious Route to Oyster Bay. Mr. Hinman slipped away from Binghamton, and arriving in New York motored to Sagamore Hill with a friend. They traveled by a devious route and avoided newspaper men. Republicans heard at the time that Col. Roosevelt was pleased by what Mr. Hinman told him, but he found it difficult to convert his Progressive counsellors, who, faintly hoping that the Colonel himself would run, were engaged in knocking down fusion suggestions as fast as he put them up. Bus in the light of recent events it is now clear that Mr. Hinman went from Oyster Bay up State and proved to the Colonel that he had strong Republican support by getting pledges from leaders whose names were printed in yesterday's despatch from Binghamton. He ended his little tour by collisting the strong political and financial support of Stephen C. Clark, of Cooperstown, and that of Mr. Clark's paper, the Albany Knickerbocker Press. He was then ready to make his confession of anti-Barnes faith, to be followed by the Colonel's indorsement. William Barnes read without a smile or a frown yesterday's announcement from Mr. Hinman that he was going into the fight. The State chairman then permitted himself this remark: "The question which the enrolled Republicans of the State must decide on September 28 is whether they are to select the Republican candidates for the officees to be filled or whether they are to permit Mr. Roosevelt to select them." "That is the real boss issue." Charles S. Whitman looked serene. All he would say was that he is as confident as ever that he will win the Republican nomination. Big Speech from the Colonel: The Progressive State conference, which was to have been held in Utica, was scheduled yesterday for August 5 in this city. The reason for the change in cities is that Col. Roosevelt is to make the big speech. It is indicated that Mr. Hinman will be indoors without trouble. George W. Perkins, who fought for a long time against alliance with the Republicans, signaled yesterday his acquiescence in Cal. Roosevelt's policy with these words: "As a citizen interested in the cause of good government I am glad to have Mr. Hinman take the position he does. That is all I care to say today." But when he read Mr. Barnes' statement ending "that is the real boss issue" Mr. Perkins exclaimed, "Thank you for the position." It was the Barnes statement also which caused Chairman Robinson to say: "I suppose the enrolled Republicans will make up their minds to their candidate, Mr. Barnes and Mr. Roosevelt to the contrary notwithstanding. As for me I shall go into the Progressives' primary and vote for Mr. Hinman for Governor if he is a candidate there." "Do you expect that he will be will?" "I presume so. The fight in the State is bigger than merely trying to perfect an organization on narrow lines. Good government is a big cause. A straight ticket in the State this fall would be entirely comparable to what the situation would have been in this city last fall had there been straight tickets." Of course the reporters had to ask William Galer what he thought of it all, and how Mr. Himman's query affected his campaign for the Progressive nomination. But Mr. Galer merely returned, them to his previous statement that he is in the race to stay and in the only "same" pre-ant Chairman D. Duell, Jr., who took them his course, has not been in vain. Al- lurebhilah he failed to make Charles A. Whitman the Progressive nominee, in thus complimented in the resolution adopted by the Fifteenth district Pro- gressive committee last night: "In recognition of the entering sphere in originating and championing throughout the State the fusion movement and the plan adopted for carrying forward the theme, we should not another instead to teach this name fight, we hereby express to Charles H. Dull, Jr. of New York city, our thanks and deep appreciation, and congratulate him upon starting the fight which overthrow the adventures of a student Progressive ticket at a time when State government was so retten that had such a course prevailed we would have to accept the principles for which we are fighting. Is war the beginning of a contest. In New York State which will result in political independence." ODELL'S PAPER FOR HINMAN. Newburgh, "Journal" Pleased With Hooverseal Support. Nowburg, N. Y., July 22.—The Newburg Journal, former Governor Odell's paper, indores to night the candidacy of former Senator Harvey D. Hinman for Governor on the Republican ticker. After expressing its pleasure that Mr. Hinman has the support of Roosevelt the Journal says: "The statement of Mr. Hinman that he is opposed, to Mr. Barnes is of no serious importance. Even Mr. Barnes opposes it. There is no question but Mr. Barnes as State leader has shown good political generalship and that he has stood steadfast for principles which he sincerely believes to be right. "But in the onward trend of political affaira Mr. Barnes has grown up in the party which holds wrongfully or otherwise that he stands convicted of bossism, and of bossism the people apparently will have no more. If in Mr. Hinman there is hope at hand the restoration of popular government for the general welfare should lay aside personal antagonisms. If they have any, and earnestly support his candidacy." Rumors are current, but have not been verified, that former Senator Obama, in close proximity to inmans closest friends, is being named with the office of Lieutenant-Governor, with the office of Lieutenant-Governor, "NO DEALS." SAY6 BARNES. Editorial Accuses Colonel of Plotting Against Primary Law. Albany, July 22. "No deals, noückera," is the leading editorial in the Albany Journal, William Barnes' evening paper, to night. "Ever since Mr. Roosevelt returned from South America," says the editorial, "he and his agents in the Progressive party and those who supported him in the Republican party, among these are a number of active politicians and others enduring to bring about a situation in which the Republican electors of the State and the Progressive electors of the State would not have a real opportunity, which the present direct primary law was established to afford them, to express their preferences; and through secret conferences and conclaves to produce a "deal" ticket. "Mr. Roosevelt's object in bringing about such a "fusion" deal or combination is for the purpose of saving the Progressive party from the disclosure of the numerical weakness and also to keep the Republican fold in order that he may become the candidate of the Republican party for the nomination for President in 1916. "The intercating thing at the present moment is whether he can succeed in his attempt to make up a ticket for the enrolled Republican electors which will be supported by a sufficient number of them to make his selections of the nominations. The Republicans of the nominations. The office of out of office the present State administration and to elect a Republican United-States Sigator and Congressman. That is their purpose at the present time. They do not wish to be diverted from that course. They do not wish to have a personality-Injected into this situation whose capacity for political engagement Whitman episode.

MOTOUS SCENES IN COURT The Pressouter Springs Surprise in Closing Hours by Withdrawal of "Premeditation" Charge. Mme. Heartlace Callaux was acquitted by a jury in Paris of the murder of Gaston Calmette, editor of the Figaro, after one of the most sensational trials in Paris since the famous Devey case. The verdict was returned in a little more than an hour. As soon as Mme.. Callaux was released violent demonstrations occurred among the crowds in the court room, near the Palace of Justice and on the boulevards where the verdict was flashed. Cheer after cheer greeted the prisoner on her release, while sympathisers with the Calmette family, who booked the acquitted woman, were saved from mob violence by the extra guard of guardians which was on duty in the court room and near the entrances to the building. Mme. Callaux is the wife of Joseph Callaux, former premier and minister of finance. M. Callaux resigned his position as premier after the crime. The trial came to an end after a day, filled with spectacular and sensational incidents. Spectators thronged the Palace of Justice by thousands. The rush for seats in the court room was so great that riotous scenes ensued. Several persons were injured in the crush and a number of others were arrested. The acquittal of Mme. Calliaux, who shot and killed M. Calmotte in the latter's office on March 16, on his refusal to suppress the publication of certain letters, was forecasted when the public prosecutor withdrew the charge of "premeditated murder." This action left the jury free to acquit the prisoner or convict her of a nominal offense. The announcement, which caused a furore in the crowded court room, was made by M. Herbaux, the public prosecutor, in his closing speech against the defendant: He admitted that there were extenuating circumstances in the prisoner's favor. With a charge of premeditated murder against Mime. Callaux when the case went to the jury, it would have been possible for that body to sentence her to be beheaded on the grillline. The break in the prosecution's case was but one of many exciting and spectacular incidents on the session when attorneys for both sides began their final appeals to the jury. Parisians, worked up to a fever heat over the trial, which has lasted for eight days, stormed the Palace of Justice, where the proceedings were being held. At least 10,000 persons were in the throng that sought admittance to the court room. Mme. Callaux, looking worn and weary, when she was led into the prisoner's dock, collapsed in a heap under the bitter invective of M. Cheen, counsel for the Calmette heirs, in his address to the jury. Mme. Callaux fainted when M. Chapu branded her as a cold-blooded assassin and demanded a verdict of guilt, with death on the guillotine. Mme. Callaux was carried out of the court room and court was suspended while she was receiving medical attention. SEWER BLOWS UP: 12 HURT Four Seriously Injured In Accident at Pittsburgh.

William Collier, the actor, has a twelve-year-old son and a country home at St. James, on Long Island. One day in the spring the youngster came to him and said that he had just been elected captain-manager of his ball club, and in view of the honor conferred upon him he desired to show his appreciation in a substantial manner. He thought it would be rather a graceful-thing if he presented his teammates with a tent, under which they might hold their business sessions and map out campaigns against the rival nines of the neighborhood. So Collier sealer donated the tent and a table and a dozen camp chairs for furnishings and provided a site for it on his lawn. After the canvas had been pitched and the boys had assembled therein the donor slipped down to the back of the tent and hid there, with his eye at a crack, in order to bear and see how the boys conducted their meeting. He arrived just in time to hear his son say: "My father gave us this tent, so I move we elect him an honorary member." This motion was carried unanimously amid applause. The first baseman stood up. "Mr. Manager," he said, "we need some uniforms—regular uniforms. How are we going to get them?" "I move," said the chairman, "that the honorary member be permitted to buy the uniforms." "We need some new bats and a dozen balls and a catcher's mask and chest protector and a lot of gloves, too," stated another voice. "I move," said Master Collier, "that the honorary member we allowed to furnish those things." There was not a disentending voice among those present. "I think we ought to hire a big coach to take us to the game," came a suggestion from the shortstop. "That's right, too," said the manager. "I move that"— It was at this juncture that the honorary member stepped around to the front and tendered his resignation—Saturday Evening Post. Time. Know the true value of time.

Annoyed by the injury done to one of his trees by the driver of the local bus, Mr. Kipling wrote a vigorous letter of complaint to the bus owner, who is also landlord of an inn. This landlord sold the letter for 10 shillings each. A second and stronger letter followed, and this time the owner was pleased, this time at 11, as bedridden by the child violence. Because he had been badly wounded, the bus driver had to leave your letter. When I will hoping you'd send me a Irish one, they pay a deal better than Bus driver. Susan Sutherland says the worst moment of his government was passed in a public or municipal punishment brought by a police payoff for him by a police officer. The police, who did not a pension for public servants, had Mr. Sutherland who abused him at the hotel. "It was a personal injury" in which Mr. Sutherland had to make a hard and difficult decision, with the police all in his favor. The principal officer got no answer. A. M. clock, closed the alarm very carefully and put it upon a whiteboard upon the slab. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA FREEDOM. There is only one cure for evils which newly acquired freedom produces, and that cure is freedom. When a prisoner first leaves his cell he cannot bear the light of day; he is unable to discriminate colors or recognise faces. The remedy is to accustom him to the rays of the sun. The blaze of truth and liberty may at first pave and bewilder nations which have become half blind in the house of burgage. But let them gaze on and they will soon be able to bear it. In a few years men learn to reason. The extreme violence of opinions subsides. Honest theories correct each other. The scattered elements of truth cease to contend and begin to coalesce. And at length a system of justice and order is educed out of the chaos. Many politicians of our time are in the habit of laying it down as a self evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into water till he had learned to swim. If men are to wait for liberty, till they become wise and good in slavery they may indeed wait forever.-Macauley. A GIRL'S A GIRL FOR A' THAT. Is there a lady in the land That boasts her rank and a' that? With scornful eye we pass her by And little care for a' that; For nature's charm shall bear the palm— A girl's a girl for a' that. The nobly born may proudly acorn A lowly lass and a' that; A pretty face has far more grace Than laughty looks and a' that; A bonnie maid needs no such aid— A girl's a girl for a' that. Then let us trust that come it must. And sure it will for a' that, When faith and love, all arts above Shall reign supreme and a' that: And every youth confess the truth— A girl's a girl for a' that. —Author Unknown. REFLECTIONS ON CRIME. If poverty is the mother of crime, want of sense is the father.—De La Bruyere. Responsibility prevents crime.—Burke. Crime is not punished as an offense against God, but as prejudicial to society.—Frooda. A man who has no excuse for crime is indeed detestation.—Burke-Lytton. The villainy you teach me I will execute, and it shall go hard, but I will murder the instruction.—"Merchant of Venice." Blood only serves to wank ambivalent hands.—Byron. --- FORTUNE AND MONOR. To catch Dame Fortune's golden shoe. Assuices wade upon her, And gather gossip by every wife That's instructed by honor. Not for to hide it in a hide, Not for a train attendant. But for the glorious privilege Of being independent. The fear o' hell's a hangman's whip To hand the wretch in order. But where ye feel your hocker grip Let ay that be your border. Its slightest touches, instant pause— Debar a side pretence. And resolutely keep the lawn, Uncaring consequences. — Burns. SAID OF THE TONQUE. To many men well diting down are not set on their tongues—Theognis. We may see cunning and curious work of nature, which both harved and hedged nothing in so strongly as the tongue, with two rows of teeth, and therewith two Nips. Beside, she both placed it far from the heart, that it should not utter that which the heart had conceived. This also should cause us to be silent, seeing those that we much talk, through they speak truly, are never believed. —Loly. The Earlene Quest.

This varied from 1600 to 14,000, and many an officer preferred to remain a "clothing girl" rather than be permitted to help rank.

Some time afterward he went into the garden and found the gardener digging trenches round the bushes. "Why, George," he said, "you must not dig round them small bushes in that way. I am sure you are strong enough to pull them up by the roots." "Oh, you, sir," replied the gardener; "I'm strong enough, but I must dig a high bushes I can get hold of the roots.
