Students come from Northern High Schools, Southern High Schools and Academies. Large numbers enter the higher departments. The grade of students throughout is high, and indications are that this will be a banner year for the College. NEW DORMITORY NOW OCCUPIED The new dormitory, a four story brick structure, equipped with steam heat, electric lights, baths, hot and cold water, is now occupied. This building has added greatly to the comfort, convenience, and general facilities of the Institution. It has also added to the delight of the student body. The young women are elated at being housed so comfortable and modernly. The main building has been generally repaired and renovated and made more comfortable and convenient in every respect. FACULTY. Practically all of the old faculty are here at duty. Only two changes obtain. Prof. Drer. who had charge of Latin and Science, was elected to a position with the Summer High School. St. Louis, Mo. He is not with us. His chair is supplied by Prof. Edward E. Reed, of Yale University, who has had years of experience in Latin and Science work. Prof. Jacob Ashburn, Jr. who will now devote his time to their Shirt Manufacturing enterprise is succeeded by Mrs. Georgia deBaptiste Faulkner, who com a to us with years of experience in school work, being formerly Assistant principal of Liberia College, Liberia, Africa. The other members are all on hand. Our faculty as a whole is second to none in preparation, general fitness and experience. From this side the outlook is most hopeful. THE WORK GENERALLY. The general condition of the work is up to the best standard. The year's expense that is now before us including the new building will mean an approximate outlay of fifty thousand dollars. Thursday November 5th, our dormitory will be dedicated. At this time we hope to have thousands of our friends look in upon our work. Dr. W. F. Graham, the Baptist leader and champion, the plumed knight, will be chief speaker. Drs. Galvin and Burks and others whose names will follow will also speak on this occasion. Deacon Adolphus Humbles, our great friend and capitalist, is jubilant to a high degree, over the success of the work. He is ever present to render all possible assistance. The Negro Baptists have set the pace for Negro education. The banners are unfurled to the breeze. God leads and the hosts follow. Troy (N. Y.) Notes Troy, New York, Sept. 28, 1914. At The M. A. E.

WANTED TO DIK. Ward Bagby, Arrested on Hold-Up Charge, Swallown Drug. Arrested on a charge of attempting to hold up Robert J. Brown, colored, in the Capital Square Monday night the 5th. Inst. Ward Bagby (white) Tuesday attempted suicide in the First Precinct Station by swallowing a quantity of morphine. The drug was pumped from his stomach. He gave considerable trouble at Virginia Hospital and an officer was sent to guard him. In some unexplained manner he succeeded, in hiding another packet of the drug about his person and made a second attempt at suicide in the hospital. He was given emergency treatment. His condition is serious. When the case was called in the Police Court Wednesday morning it was announced that Bagby was too ill to appear, and Justice Crutchfield continued the hearing until October 9. Brown exhibited several lacerations on the head, which he said had been made by Bagby when he attacked him with the butt end of his revolver. PIGS AND EDUCATION AND PIGS AND DEBTS. To The Editor The Richmond Planet: Tuskegee Institute, Alabama—Our race is in constant search of means with which to provide better homes, schools, colleges, and churches, and with which to pay debts. This is especially true during the hard financial conditions obtaining on account of the European War. All of this cannot be done at once, but great progress can be made by a good strong pull together, in a simple direct manner: How? There are 1,400,000 colored families who live on farms or in villages, or small towns. Of this number, at the present time, 700,000 have no pigs. I want to ask that each family raise at least one pig this fall. Whose one or more pigs are already owned. I want to ask that each family raise one additional pig this fall. As soon as possible, I want to ask that this plan be followed by the organization of a Pig Club in every community where one does not already exist. I want to ask that the matter be taken up at once through families, schools, churches, and societies, Farmers' Institutes, Business Leagues, etc. The average pig is valued at about $5.00. If each family adds only one pig, in a few months at the present prices for hogs, $10.00 would be added to the wealth of the owner, and $14,000,000 to the wealth of the colored people. If each family adds two pigs, it would have in a few months $20.00 more wealth, and $28,000.00 would be added with which to promote the welfare of the race during the money stringency created by the European War. Let us not put it off, but organize Pig Clubs everywhere. Give each boy and girl an opportunity to own and grow at least one pig. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Lawyer Newsome Honored. J. Thomas Newsome, the brilliant Attorney at Newport News, Va. received a special invitation to deliver an address at the opening of the Law Department at Howard University, October 1st, 1914. He performed the duty satisfactorily to all concerned. A STATEMENT BY THE MERCUTIVE COMMITTEE. After years of thought and prayer and tell, the efforts of the good people of Virginia, under the leadership of the Anti-falcon League, have been crowned, with success. By a vote of nearly two to one, the victory over the licensed liquor trade has been made complete and overwhelming. It is perhaps the greatest victory for temperance ever won in this country, and it will mean a great deal not only to Virginia, but to the United States. Because of Virginia's position, her history and her reputation for deliberate and conservative action, the influence of the great success here will be an inspiration to the States of the South and to many of the North. Virginia's victory means a long stride toward Nation-wide Prohibition. The liquor traffic realized the strategic position of our States, and for that reason poured out money here by the hundreds of thousands of dollars until, according to reliable reports, the amount expended reached the enormous sum of nearly a million dollars. In addition, they used every device and artifice known to the professional workers of their wretched business to deceive and mislead the people into voting to perpetuate the life of the saloon. To counteract and to destroy the efforts of their perilous literature campaign and to correct their misrepresentations, it was necessary for the Anti-Saloon League to print and circulate tons of literature and to send forth many speakers. The speaking campaign was comparatively inexpensive, as many speakers volunteered to go forth and work without expense to the League. The literature campaign, however, was exceedingly expensive, as an effort was made to reach every voter in the communist world. The expense incurred by the League since the last Convention, including the necessary work in securing the passage of the Enabling Act. In securing the petitions to the Governor requesting him to call the election, and in carrying forward our great Literature and speaking campaign then amounted to $72,500.00. Of this $48,500.00 have been contributed by the people of the State. It will be necessary, therefore, to raise at least $24,000.00 to meet these obligations which have been incurred and thus to free the League from any possible embarrassment in the efficient prosecution of its work. For, while we have voted out the saloon, there is much work yet to be done. We must see that the proper laws are enacted for the suppression of the illegal manufacture and sale of liquor, and laws to prevent shipments from other states in Virginia, further we must insist upon the proper enforcement of these laws. Let us not think for a moment that because Virginia has voted "dry" the liquor traffic is dead, or has given up the fight; they still will pursue the faintest glimmer of hope. To preserve the fruits of our victory, therefore, we must keep our organization intact and continue with unabated energy our fight for a genuinely Prohibition State. For the victory which has been won and the success which has crowned our efforts, let us devoutly give thanks to God. We, the Executive Committee of the League, therefore recommend that, as far as practicable, October 11th. The second Sunday in the month, be, set apart as a day of Thanksgiving, and that on that day we urge our people to make a thanksgiving offering to raise the $24,000 necessary to pay off the obligations incurred in winning our great victory. To accomplish this, let the citizens who are interested in our righteous cause make their Thank offering. Let the Sunday Schools accept from the children their gifts of thanks, and let all our Churches respond liberally as an evidence of their thanksgiving for the dissolving of the partnership of Virginia with the saloon. We think it but just that we should express our thanks for and our appreciation of the labors of the great army of workers, women and man, preachers and laymen, who went forth at much sacrifice to spend themselves in this great effort to rid our State of the saloon.

A ghastly tragedy was enacted by Joseph Strong at 912 N. Thirty-first St., when he shot and killed his wife, Mary last Saturday night in the presence of their two. Little children, Strong disappeared. On last Tuesday, he walked into the Second Police Station and surrendered, himself. He claimed that he did not intend to kill his wife. He found another man in the house and in-firing at him struck his own wife. HER LAST SLEEP To what extent the facts in the case will bear out this statement remains to be seen. Evidently, remorse has gotten the better of him. Seating on a cooling board in Funeral Director Price's establishment, the murdered woman rested in her last sleep. The ball entered on her right side in her back and passed diagonally through her body, producing almost instant death. The children have been turned over to relatives. SAD: PREDICAMENT. Mrs. Mary Strong was buried last Tuesday at 3 p.m. Her husband shows no disposition to remain silent and with whiskey and feaulousy, boon companions, he is now in a predicament that only the best of counsel and much skill can save him from the electric chair. --- Boston, Mass. Sept. 26, 1914. Special—The colored voters of the country are urged to register to vote and to make the color line bills which have been introduced into Congress and the Segregation in Federal Department a Campaign issue this Fall, by the National Independent Equal Rights League, which at its 7th, Annual meeting in New York City on Sept. 9th, in its address to the country said: "We advise Colored voters to look into the records of every Congressman up for re-election, to make an issue of the color segregation practiced by certain cabinet officers and encouraged in bills already introduced into Congress. Find out where each candidate stands on these anti-Negro bills and the anti-intermarriage bill and act accordingly." This idea is appalling strongly to the Colored leaders and is approved by their white friends. C lored men in every Congressional district are urged to question the Congressional candidates as to their attitude on these matters, and to look into the record along these lines of Congressmen who are up for re-election. The League, which has given up the word "Political," desires to send another delegation to interview the President on the Segregation in the Departments and will welcome contributions from everybody towards expenses of the trip. Contributions should be sent to the Treasurer, Thomas Walker, Eqn. 506 5th, St., N. W. Washington, D. C. This matter has got to be attended to at once before the campaign is ended.

One of the most remarkable statements ever made public by the envoy of a foreign country is that given to The Post yesterday by A. Rustem Bey, Ambassador on the Ottoman empire to the United States, on the eve of his departure for home. The Ambassador's statement is as follows: "I am quitting the United States on leave of absence. I am taking this step on my own initiative as a result of the view taken by the government of the United States of the statement made by me on the 8th, of September. My government, with whom I have been unable to communicate, has yet to formulate its own view of my action. What is the point? It is whether a foreign representative may refer in print to excess of a serious nature taking place occasionally in the country to which he is accreted. My reply is that in principle he may not, but that if the local press is constantly reminding the public it serves, not infrequently in the most unnecessary language, of excesses of a somewhat similar nature with which his country has had to reproach itself; when the authorities are powerless or do not care to put a stop to these attacks; when they continue in a time of unparalleled crisis, when eight nations are at war and the others in a state of dangerous excitement, then, I say, that representative has doubly the right to direct attention to those failings of the nation in whose minds he lives which place it, in one respect, on a par with his own. Since by doing so he is defending the latter, which is his official duty and is also making an effort to prevent serious mischief, which is his moral duty. "I cannot admit that such a comparison undertaken in such a spirit—that is entirely devoid of malice—is an offense to a nation. "I have received close upon a hundred letters from Americans, mostly natives, women as well as men among the letters professors of universities, lawyers, publishers, journalists commending my attitude in strong and flattering terms. Some of them, if printed, would make very interesting reading. I will quote the homely ending of one of them, that of a Swedish-American: 'And, Boy, mind you, Uncle Sam is the safest of all when he has a little time to ponder.' This is the only impression of the incident I care to take back with me to Turkey." AMBASSADOR'S CAREER HERE A. Rustom Boy, who is a prosecution to Mohammedanism, although the son of a Mohammedan father, has been one of the most interesting personalities in the National Capital ever since his arrival here on June 22. He had previously been stationed in Washington as secretary to the embassy, and had many friends in social and official circles. Immediately upon his arrival last summer he presented his credentials to the President. At this first interview he entered a protest against the sale by the United States of two warships or Greece, which the government of this country had just negotiated. ENVOY'S STIRRING INTERVIEW. The interview, which created a sensation in diplomatic and official circles, was published on September 8. The Ambassador said on that occasion. "According to today's papers: Great Britain, following in the footsteps of France, has agitated before the eyes of the United States the specter of a massacre of Christians in Turkey and has made this growsome picture of the immediate future, drawn with absolute disregard to truth, a pretext for requesting the United States to dispatch warships to Turkish ports. CRITICISES THE ALLIES. "That there have been massacres in Turkey I cannot unfortunately deny, but the Armenians and Maronites who were the victims, suffered at the hands of the Moslems, not as Christians, but as political agitators engaged in undermining the Ottoman state, the while faunting in the face of the government and dominant race the support of Russia, France, and England. "Under the same provocation what would Russia have done, who has given the world the spectacle of not one but twenty pogroms against an innocent race, what France, who smoked to death in caverns the Algerian fighting for the independence of their land, who later on rejoiced in that grand production, the commune; what England, whose punishment of the 'rebels' in the Indian mutiny, was to blow them off guns?" "And since a large number of American papers are siding with Great Britain and France in this affair I will permit myself to say that the thought of the lynchings which occur daily in the United States and the memory of the 'water cures' in the Philippines should make them chary of attacking Turkey in connection with acts of savagery committed by her under provocation compared with which the economic competition of an Italian or the sniping of a Filipino or even the outrage of a negroate as nothing. "Supposing for the sake of argument what in reality could never happen, that the negroes were discovered to be engaged in a conspiracy with the Japanese to facilitate the invasion of the United States by the latter, how many of them would be left alive to tell the tale? PROVOKED BY ENGLAND AND FRANCE "Great Britain and France have embarked upon a new campaign of provocation against Turkey, secretly hoping that as a result of it something untoward may happen in that country to confirm their sinister predictions, so that the United States will be finally prevailed upon to dispatch warships to the Lavant, and thus get mixed in the European fray on the allies' side, but I believe the administration too agacious to fall into such a vulgar trap. "Besides, why should the United States, not one of whose citizens has ever suffered in Turkey, send warships in the waters of that country, with the result that it would only cause irritation against her, and could under no circumstances act as a check? Bombard Smyrna, Bayduth, which are mostly inhabited by Christians? What of that? And what more could she do? Nothing. "But that would be enough to mean war. Do the people of the United states want war?" CALLS BRITISH MOVE CLUMSY "The new British move against Turkey is clumsy. It will not cause the United States to modify its attitude. But it has called forth the following telegram from New York to the Turkish embassy. "If Turkey goes to war against England, the Hindus and Mussulmans in India and elsewhere will support her in every way. Thousands of volunteers are ready. BHAYANKAR. "Gadar National Volunteers.

Cor 2nd. and Leight St. top hief! ed From the Great Play of the Same Name by George C. Jenks and Cartle Moore Copyright, 1912, by The H. K. Fly Company TWO SYNOPSIS Detective Thompson's watch is stolen by Seck Doogan, a thief, accompanied by his sweetheart, Nell. The sleuth arrests William Carr, an absentminded business man, to mistake for a notated crook. Douglas Jamison, Carry's friend, identifies him. --- Doogan promises Nell to reform and to marry her after they have turned their last trick in robbing the Carr home, where Nell is to start work as maid. Thompson corners Doogan. Doogan escapes. James Cluney, who is in marry Carr Carr, fears he will be kept in the house by Wilhuyt, measures him. Nell arrives at the Carr residence on the wedding day. Caroline Carr admits Nell, Mr. Carr shows a ruby ring he bought for Carrina's present to Madge. Nell steals it and later places it in Cluney's pocket. Jamison calls and tells Carr he will reclaim Common stock held in safe by Carr as collateral for a loan to Jamison. Dr. Willowbury and Rev. Mr. Spelain arrives. Carr discovers the ring is stolen. Cluney telephones for a detective. Through Nell's manipulations the ring is found. Cluney's fears regarding himself are revealed. The Steel Brooke brought at Cluney's request. CHAPTER IX. Cross Purpose "I THOUGHT it was that good detective again. Nell," laughed Doogan, "when I heard you coming in. I hope he won't be longer than an hour. It would be too bad if he came back too late." He chuckled softly as he knelt down in front of the now wide open safe and took out a sheet of papers. "Steel common—steel common, chh" he muttered. "I'm no piker. I couldn't. He put the stock back and reached for some other tied up papers that looked more promising to his experienced eyes. They wore the International Steel bonds. "Steel bonds" observed Doogan, smacking his lips. "That's better! I'll tear the coupon off, I can use them." Then, reaching for something else in the safe—something that glittered riotously in the afternoon sun streaming through the window, he muttered in subdued ecstasy: "Geeel A sunburst! A bird! Nell, look at this sunburst!" "Quick. Jack! Somebody's coming!" he said. "Make it." He picked up the bungle. F "Goel! A sunburst! A bird too." wrapped in the cloth that Nell had brought in and darted toward the door. Just as he reached it James Cluney met him. "Hello!" blurted out Jack Doogan. "Hello!" returned Cluney. "Who might you be?" "Well," said Doogan slowly, with a shrug. "I might be." But Nell, with her ready woman's wit, saved the situation for the man she loved, as she had done many a time before. "This gentleman said he telephoned for," she said to James Cluney. "Here's his card." She held out Lieutenant Joseph Thompson's card. James Cluny looked at the card and said, without raising his eyes: "Yes, my name is Cluny. I see you are from police headquarters. I've just been outside, looking for you. Excuse me for a moment, will you? I want to have a word with this girl." He looked at Nell and then said, momently, "I wonder if I can trust you." "Oh, sir," protested Nell in a tone of injured innocence. "Well, all right! You see, this gentleman is a detective, and I don't want a word said about his being in the house." "You may depend on me, sir." Nell assured him. At this moment Jack Doogan, who had been hovering at the back of Mr. Cluny, slipped the diamond bracelet and ear trumpet into that unhappy gentleman's pocket. "Now, my girl, I don't want you to say a word about this gentleman being a detective," went on James Cluney, as he gave Nell a dollar bill. "Take that, and perhaps you will find some more where that came from. Understand?" "Thank you, sir—very much, sir." "Now you may go." "Yes, sir. Shall I take your things, sir?" asked Nell of Doogan, picking up the bundle of plunder from the chair where he had put it. "Ah! Yes, if you don't mind, my good girl." replied Doogan loftily. "They're just a few presents I was taking home when I was detained here." He gave Nell a tremendous wink as she turned to go. "But them where nobody can get them," directed Cluney over his shoulder. "You can leave that to me, sir," were Nell's parting words, as she went out and closed the door after her. Cluney turned to Jack Doogan and said: "Now, listen. This is a peculiar case. I'll explain in a few words. I'm a kleptomanic." "You're a maniac!" exclaimed Doogan, drawing a little away. "No, no; a kleptomaniac." returned Cluney impatiently. "That's worse. I steal things. But I do so unconciously." "Can you get away with it?" Jack Doogan was waxing interested. "Well, I have. I got away with a diamond bracelet and a jewelled ear trumpet." "The blanks you did!" "The funny part of it is I don't know what I've done with them," continued Cluney, gazing at Doogan with troubled eyes. "I'll be blanked." before he could stop himself. "Cluney! Yes, that's right—Cluney. Now, I tell you what I want you to do. I want you to stay right here and watch me. Will you do that?" "Sure I will!" was Doogan's cheerful response. "For heaven's sake, don't let me take anything!" pleaded Cluney. "Not if I see it first," replied Doogan earnestly. "Splendid! Now I'll introduce you to the family as an old friend of mine. Let's see, your name is—Where's that card you gave me?" "Never mind the card," interrupted Doogan. "Call me anything. Call me Doogan—Jack Doogan." "Doogan? All right! Now, another thing: This is my wedding day, and you are here to attend the ceremony. Do you follow me?" "Sure! I'll follow you all over the house." "That's the idea." "That's funny," observed Doogan. "This is my wedding day too." "Is it? You don't find yourself taking things unconsciously, do you?" "I never take things unconsciously," declared Doogan, with a slight smile. "It seems I do," said Cluney, abaking his head. "Look here!" said Doogan, with sudden apprehension. "If anything is lost they won't blame it on me, will they?" "Gee, what a cinch!" chuckled Doogan to himself. "I'm afraid I'm going to be a very hard case for you," observed Cluney. "Hard? You're the softest case I ever struck." "Hush! whispered Cluney, taking Doogan's elbow. "Here's the family. Change the subject." "Well, well, Jack. I'm awfully glad you're here; just in time to see your old pal married—just in time." "I wouldn't have missed it for any thing." declared Doogan. "James," said Mrs. Carr, addressing Cluney, "we're given up the search for the bracelet. The minister insists that the ceremony be performed at once." "Yes, yes," assented Cluney. "But first I want to introduce my old friend, Mr. Jack Doogan." Then, including all the others in a wide sweep of his arm, he introduced them in turn. "How are you?" inquired Doogan breezily, turning to Dr. Willoughby. "Who is he?" whispered the doctor to Cluney. "Hush! The detective!" replied Cluney, also in a whisper. "Tickled to death!" remarked Mr. Doogan to Mudge as she gave him her hand. Then, holding out his hand to the dignified Mrs. Carr, be chirped, "How are you, mother?" Mrs. Carr ignored the proffered hand, and Mudge exclaimed, "She's a little dear, Mr. Doogan." "Ah, you," rejoined Doogan. "She's blind, too, isn't she? Hello, Cutay?" he added to Joan. "My name's Caroline," volunteered the young lady thus called. "That so? How are you, Carrie? And this is the minister, eh? Well, how's the domicile?" Then Mr. Jack Doogan beamed around him benevolently and observed to the company in general: "Oh believe me, dearest Chandler. Very well!" replied Doogan. "Then it's up to us all men. Do any one can help, as long as from the rebel don't leave me." "Well, now that I've met everybody, I feel right at home." And he looked it. "So you're an old friend of Mr. Chuney, Mr. Doogan?" observed Madge. "Yes. We're college chums—ahn we, Louoney!" "Cluney!" corrected Madge and Caseline together. "Yes. Cluney—Cluney!" whispered James Cluney to Doogan savagely. Then, aloud, he explained, with a forced laugh: "Looney! Ha, ha! That's the nickname I had when we were at college." "It's most annoying," broke in Mrs. Carr. "I can't hear a word without my ear trumpet." "Your ear trumpet?" exclaimed Cluney. He stopped and a nameless tarr crept over his face. "What's the matter, James?" quarried Madge solicitively. "Good Lord!" was all he said. But from his cost pocket, where he had thrust his hand as he laughed, he slowly drew forth the ear trumpet! There was a chorus of "The ear trumpet!" and then Mrs. Carr, glaring at James Cluney, asked: "James, what is the meaning of this?" "I don't know," replied Cluney hopefully. "I can explain!" interposed Doogan, with a loud laugh. "It's a joke!" "A joke?" frowned Mrs. Carr. "Yes! Ha, ha! Heal something from your mother-in-law on your wedding day—good luck! Ha, ha!" "Well, I don't see anything funny about it," declared Mrs. Carr, with much stiffness. "Say, James," whispered Mr. Carr to Cluney. "What did you do with the bracelet?" "The bracelet? I didn't take the bracelet." "Oh, excuse me. I thought you did." The old gentleman was still gazing suspiciously at his son-in-law elect when Mr. Spalain busted toward the door, saying: "You'll have to hurry, good people. I must keep that other appointment of mine." "Now," said Chuney to Doogan when they were alone. "How the devil did that trumpet get into my pocket?" "Don't try to kid me," returned Doogan. "You must have put it there." "What if the bracelet should turn up in the same way?" muttered James Chuney as he thrust his hand into his overcoat pocket. Then, with a bowl, he withdrew it sharply, and the bracelet was in his fingers. "Good Lord, here it is!" "Give it to me. I will take care of it," said Doogan, taking the bracelet and putting it in his pocket. "That's what I'm here for." "Don't mention it," responded Doogan. "You'll stick by me, won't you?" naked Cluney as he took off his overcoat and laid it on a chair. "Sure thing!" "I'll make it worth your while." "You let you will!" observed Doogan emphatically to himself. There was a sudden outbreak of excited voices outside in the hall, and the whole family, with Dr. Willoughby and the minister, came surging into the room tolling over with excitement. "James, James," screamed Mudge, "the house has been robbed!" "Yes, robbed!" squawked Mrs. Carr. "Oh, dear!" "Robbed!" ejaculated Doogan in a convincingly incredulous tone. "All my beautiful wedding present!" walked Madge. "Everybody in the house must be searched!" proclaimed Mr. Carr sternly. "Hide the bracelet!" Hide it!" whispered Cluney to Doogan. But Mr. Jack Doogan needed no such advice. He glanced about for a convenient place to put the bracelet and found Mr. Carr by his side, with one of his cont pocket hands. "Everybody ought to be searched!" opined the minister, with the authority of the pulpit which he generally carried with him. "Am I suspected?" There was a general chorus of "No's" to this. So Mr. Spoalain said he would go away, officiate at the other marriage ceremony which was so much on his mind and return to perform the same office for James Cluney and Madge Carr an hour later. "Mother, do you suppose the maid could have"—began Joan hostitially, for she had taken rather a fancy to Nell. "What's that?" asked Doogan quickly. "Are there any new servants in the house?" "Toe, the new maid," explained Mrs. Carr. "What's her name?" "Her name is Nollin," replied Madge. "Did you call me, mama?" asked Nell, coming forward from the door, where she had been listening to the lamentations over the loss of the wedding presents. "Is this girl a suspicious character?" demanded Doogan, frowning and taking the whole matter upon his shoulders. "Not exacti/ suspicious," answered Madge. "But—" "Him!" said Doogan. Then to Nell, magisterially: "Let me look at your eyes. Ah, they are beautiful eyes. Now show me your hands. Um, um!" he continued, as he took one of Nell's soft hands in his big paw and gently pressed the fingers unobserved by the others while he inspected the palm. "Not a note of crime. Nothing but innocence, simplicity and honesty. I'll stake my life on her. I have made a study of criminals for years. Haven't I Cluny?" "Oh, yes, for years and years," corroborated Cluny hastily. "I'm very much obliged to you, my girl," Doogan told Nellia. "Hope I may be able to do as much for you some day. Keep your eyes open, and you may be able to relieve the family of a great deal." "Thank you, sir," responded Nell, as she left the room. "How about the other ladies! Are they above suspicion?" "Correctly!" answered Dr. Wilhelm. "Of course!" declared Chamble. "Very well!" declared Doogan. "Then my up to us all men. Doom any care to search me?" Adding, before anybody could speak: "No! All right! Have you any objections to my searching you, doctor?" "This is an insult!" barked Dr. Willeough. "Merely as a matter of form," protested Doogan. "I thought we'd all agreed." "I'm willing," declared Mr. Carr. "Go, ahead," grownlod Willoughby. "But it's all rot." He made a tentative search of Chamble, and disarmed him with a short I "Did you call me, me'am?" "Nothing!" looked at William Carr, who offered himself as the next person to be examined. Jack Doogan said sadly: "No, I can't do it. Mrs. Mother, will you kindly see if father's pockets are empty?" "Perfectly Idleous!" glaculated Mrs. Carr. But she began to feel in her husband's pockets nevertheless. Almost immediately she screamed: "My smelling salts: Quick, quick!" and ran from the room, followed by her terrified daughter. William Carr, looking after them amazed, put his hand in his coat pocket, felt the bracelet there, and darted after his wife and daughters. "What's that all about?" exclaimed Dr. Willoughby, puzzled. "Do you suppose the bracelet was in the old man's pocket?" "Sure," said Doogan confidently. "It was? How did it get there?" demanded the doctor. "Why, I know," threw in Cluney, "Mr. Doogan put it there." "He did?" riled the doctor. "Certainly," admitted Doogan coolly. "Look here, Cluney. You didn't want them to find it on me, did you?" "Where did you get that bracelet?" thundered Dr. Willoughby, approaching Doogan menacingly. "From him," said Doogan, pointing to Cluney. "Then where did you get it, James?" "I don't know. Oh, Willoughby, it's true! I'm a kleentoman." CHAPTER X "I's a sad case," said Dr. Willoughby. "I should say so," promptly agreed Jack Doogan. James Cluney jumped up suddenly as an idea came to him. He ran to the safe, and as the door swung outward in response to his pull he shouted: "My Lord, the safe is open! I wonder if the bonds are there. Ah, thank heaven, here they are!" Jack Doogan knew he had placed the International Steel bonds in his own pocket, and he felt in it to find out whether he had lost them. No; they were still there. Cluney was handing a sheet of papers that looked like the bonds to Dr. Willoughby. "Why, no. Those are not the bonds!" cried the latter. "This is the common stock Mr. Carr spoke about." "What?" howled Clunny as he looked at one of the papers which Dr. Willoughby had opened. "Why, so it is. Well, where are the bonds?" He peered into the safe again. "They're gone! And the sunburst! That's gone too!" He got up and stared wild aged at Willoughby, who after an instant's reflection advised: "Well, close the safe, James. They'll think we took it." "Yes; close the safe," acquiesced Doogan. "They'll think we took it." "Here, James," said Willoughby, holding out the stock to Cluney. "Put those back." But just then William Carr entered, and Clunny, with a despairing "Too late!" pushed the stock away from him, while Willoughby, anxious to get rid of it, tried to force it into Cluney's hand. "Doctor, doctor," shouted Mr. Carr, "come to my wife quick! She's having hysterics! I'm afraid, she's going to faint!" "Hysteria? I'll have to get into my medicine bag for some ammonia and brandy. It's out in the ball." answered the doctor. Then as he tried once more vainly to make Cluney take the bundle of stock he whispered: "Oh, well, I'll slip them into the safe on the way back. Get the old gentleman out of the room." he added, and vanished. But Madge came running in, white faced and terrified, and, sitting James Cluney's arm, bagged him to come to her mother, who was terrified all. "Yes, you, dear-dight away," replied the doctor. Calling, as shaded Moved immediately from the robber, "Ome on me, Dreadful Don't have not Nixon to me! Don't have me!" And the two helped after Madge Carr. Mr. Carr was about to follow, when his eye changed to fall upon the open sash. "Dear me! That safe is open again. I must look it. So cautious of me. Murlyly cautious!" He locked the safe carefully, when Joan called to him from the doorway: "Come, father. Mother is calling for you. She's having hysterics." Meanwhile Dr. Willoughby hurried back to the library, carrying his knife, leather medicine case in one hand and the steel common stock in the other. "That blasted common stock!" he groaned. "I must get it back in the safe before it is found on me." He pulled at the handle of the safe door, but the door would not move. "Helped What's wrong? Good heavens. My locked!" He was still fumbling at the handle, trying to get the door open and sweating softly, when Mrs. Carr—who had recovered from her attack of illness as abruptly as she had fallen into it—stood by his side, with all the others grouped about her, and demanded sternly: "Dr. Willoughby, what are you doing at that safe?" "I—I was seeing if it was locked." "What business was it of yours whether it was locked or not?" demanded William Carr? All he could do was to stammer, "I—well, you see—James—" "Well, well? What is the explanation of this?" persisted Mrs. Carr. "You'd better let James explain," suggested Dr. Willoughby, feeling himself cornered. "What has James to do with it?" "Nothing, nothing!" easily protested Mr. Cluney. "Then what does Dr. Willoughby mean by asking you to explain?" "Eh? Oh, you see, Mrs. Carr, that's a little way he has. You see, he thought when things begin to hide themselves surreptitiously about the house—he thought—that he, be believed—he feared—there might be a thief in the house." "Well? questioned Mrs. Carr pitilessly. "And, you see," stumbled on poor Cluney, "his thinking that made me think that I—Oh, deuce take it! Doogan, you tell them." "Go on. You're doing fine!" encouraged Doogan. "Am I?" "Sure! I never board anything clearer." "All right, then; I'll go ahead with it," said Cluney. "You see, Mrs. Carr, it's like this: Mr. Doogan is not really a friend. He's more of a guest. No, he's not exactly a guest. He's more of a friend. No, that isn't quite what I mean, either. You see, I asked him here to the wedding, and—well, here he is." James Cluney, having got thus far, wiped his hot face with his handkerchief and puffed exhaustedly. "What has all that to do with Dr. Willoughby being at our safe?" sacked Mrs. Carr. "Ah, that's just what I am getting at," answered James Cluney forwishily. "He's a detective." "How here to watch me," began Cluney. Then, hastily correcting himself, "No, I mean to watch—to watch—" "Watch what? Watch whom?" insisted Mrs. Carr. "Aha! That's what." cried Cluney. "That's what we want to know." "And, now that he is here, what is he going to do?" asked William Carr. "If you put it up to me, I propose that we close up the joint," said Jack Doogan airily. "Joint?" echoed Mrs. Carr, mystified. "I mean—er—house," said Doogan, coughing slightly. "Close up the house and not allow any one to come in until we have hunted all through it for the stuff you've misused." "There you are," assented Cluney, relieved that some proposition had been made. "That's the thing to do." "I am still in the dark as to what you were doing at that nafe," said Mrs. Carr, coming back to the oldsore subject, which made Cluney and Dr. Willoughby both wince. There was a diversion at this juncture when Nell glided into the room and beckoned to Dr. Willoughby. "Excuse me, Dr. Willoughby. There's an automobile at the door for you, air. The gentleman and you should hurry, air." "Who is it?" "He said to tell you it was on the way—that you'd understand." "Good Lord, the execlated Willoughby, the baby! I've got to go. Remember, Dogan, the case is entirely in your hands." "Leave it to me! Leave it to me!" was Dogan's reassuring response as the door banged behind the doctor. "That's all very well." observed James Cluney, dismayed. "But what about the wedding? We haven't any best man now." Madge went over to Cluney and rested her head against his shoulder, regardless of what it did to her carefully dressed hair. "Oh James!" she murmured. "This is terrible!" "Mother, mother!" whispered William Carr to his wife. "Why does that detective keep looking at me?" "Is he looking at you now?" she whispered back. "Ket." "Oh Lord!" groaned Mrs. Carr. "Walt a minute!" called out Duggan sharply to Nell, who was clapping out of the room. "And you, boo, Mr. Carr!" as the old gentleman was trying to get away through another door. "I don't want any one to leave this room until I have said a few things." James Climney moved uncomfortably over to Duggan's side, so that he could say to that extremely active gentleman without being overheard: "What are you going to do?" "Boo!" woo all that Duggan needed. They, coming to the apart, he said in a loud, edifying voice, "Thee and me chant, if I am in this change of life Deagan Made a Great Show of Writing Down the Home. Doegan Made a Great Show of Writing Down the Home. case let's be perfectly hobbit with each other. Tell me exactly what is missing." He took a pad and pencil from his pocket and made a great show of writing down the items with exactitude: "Well, began Joan, 'all the wedding presents are gone." "All the wedding presents," repeated Doogan, writing it down on his pad. "No, no," interrupted Caroline. "The bracelet was found." Mr. and Mrs. Carr abook their heads and frowned to keep her quiet. But it was too late, and Doogan asked. "Where was the bracelet found?" "You put it in the old man's pocket yourself, whispered Cluney. "I know. Shut up!" softly grewled Doogan, ore he repeated aloud his question. "Where was the bracelet found?" "We found the brucelet on the stairs," answered Mrs. Carr with dignity. "Ooh!" observed Doogan, as he wroto on his pad. "Brucelet found on the stairs." "May I go now, sir?" asked Nell timidly. "I have some work to do." "Just a moment, my good girl," was Jack Doogan's patronizing reply. The, as Nell moved aside, "Mrs. Carr, I think it would be a good idea to give me an account of the valuable articles you have here in the house and tell me where you keep them." "What?" "So that I can make out an accurate list of them," was Doogan's smooth explanation. "Then it will be possible for me to take an invoice, and we will know exactly where we stand. Now, one at a time, as the three girls began to talk at once." "Don't crowd, ladie! Miss Joan, I'll take your things first. What have you got?" "Well, there's my jewel case in the bottom of my steamer trunk," answered Joan. "Ah! Exactly!" observed Doogan, as he began to write on his pad, saying aloud what he was marking on the paper. "Jewel case in steamer trunk in the trunk open" "No; here's the key," said Joan, handing the key to him. "All my winter fur, scalaks and sables are in my dressing closet," announced Caroline. Jack Doogan's brown eyes glistened as he wrote: "Scalaks and sables in the dressing closet." He repeated this aloud as if he enjoyed the sound of such rich swing and asked casually, "Have you the key to the closet?" "The key to the closet is in Joan's steamer trunk," was Caroline's reply. "And you have the key to the trunk." "Yes," nodded Doogan. "So I have Next!" Midge stepped forward and beastified a little before she confessed. "I have about $4,000 in cash hidden in the linen closet, on the floor, under the rug." This cool admission that such a large sum was kicking about under a rug in an empty apartment staggered Jack Doogan, his voice was downright faint as be repeated incredulously: "Four thousand!" "I wonder if I'm awake!" muttared Doogan. Mrs. Carr sailed into the open waters in front of Jack Doogan and, with her customary dignity, proclaimed, "Some valuable papers and a diamond sunburst in the safe." "I got that," remarked Doogan. "Do you mean this safe in front of the table?" "Yes." "Whose safe is this?" "It is mine," called out William Carr from the sofa, where he had seated himself while trying to understand these rapid proceedings. "Who in this house knows the combination of the safe?" was Doogan's next question. "I do," said Mrs. Carr. "Who else?" When there was no answer he asked in acknowledgment, "Doesn't Mr. Carr know the combination of his own safe?" "Yes, I know it," replied Mrs. Carr, getting up from the sofa, "James knows it too." "No, I don't," mugged James Chamley. "Yes, play do. I gave it to you awake again." stained Oversee. "Who'd you give him the insignia, Mrs. Court?" queried Dodge so he turned sharply on the old gentleman. "He asked me for 11." "No, sir; he forced it on me," interposed Clancy. "Then he did give it to you?" "No—that is your or—no." "Yes or no? Which is it?" thundered Doogan. "I don't know," weakly confessed Clancy. "That makes it simple," said Jack Doogan, apparently satisfied. Then he wrote on his pad, "Mr. Carr knows the combination of the safe." "Very well," he weas on. "How I will have to ask you folks to stay in the other part of the house while I take charge of the main part. If you will please step into this other room, for about ten minutes when you settle up you will know exactly what's gone." Mr. Carr was about to follow the other man, but Jack Doogan stepped in his way, and the old gentleman backed away nervously. Doogan closed the door without ceasing to glare at him. "Why do you stare at me like that?" stammered Mr. Carr. Jack Doogan did not answer at first. Instead, he fixed William Carr with his eye for several seconds, as if he knew volumes of evil about the old gentleman. Then at the moment when Carr felt as if he must collapse Doogan said impressively. "I'm looking at you because the bracelet was found on the stairr." He held out the pad and Mr. Carr read the words of his wife that Doogan 图 "I have about $4,000 in cash hidden," said Madge. bad copied. "Bracclet found on the staircase." "Oh, yes. I understand!" he gasped and fairly ran out of the room. Jack Doogan grinned at Cluney, who said, admirably: "You're a genius. That's what you are. Doogan. Now what are you going to do?" "I'm going to give the maid the third degree. So get out. I must do it alone." He shout the door after Mr. Cluney and locked it. CHAPTER XI. "ISN'T this great, Jack?" whispered Nell, as she slipped in through the door from the kitchen part of the house, where, unobserved, she had been watching all that had been going on in the library. "What are you going to do now?" "I'm going to give you the third degree," he chuckled. He took her in his arms and gave her a kiss that was full of order. "It is in this case," he replied. "Say, Nell." he continued. "If there is a God for thieves, he's certainly good to us. This guy is a kaptomanlasic, and he's got himself trained up for a thief." "Which one?" "Clancy. He's hired me to watch him. You beard the layout just now?" "Did I langed Nell." "Four thousand dollars under the rug in the linen closet." "You get that," he directed. "And hera the key to the steamer trunk." Get the jewel case and what furs you can handle." "I got you. And then we'll make a quick setaway." responded Nell. "Don't forget the sunburst in the air," Nell warned him. "Oh, I've got that," was his smiling response. "Good! And you'll keep those people in there, Jack?" "Trust me! Now, Nell, clean up!" "Just leave that to me," she returned confidently. "All right! But whatever you do, don't leave anything on you." If the police should come and search—He stopped and fumbled in one of his inside pockets. "What is it, Jack?" "Why, that reminds me. I've got to get rid of these bonds." He brought out the bundle of beads and looked thoughtfully about the room. His eye fell upon a chocolate set on a side table. He was still at the pet, touching the bundle of bonds inside, out of sight, when there came a series of bangs on the door of the room into which he had hurried the family, while Mr. Curt's voice called out impatiently, "Open this door?" "New, Mell! see how fast you can work," admonished Dugan. He waited till she had got out of the room. Then he went to the door where Mell. Curt was still hesitating and repenting and shouted again. Mr. Curt stood in bed, gesturing and shouted, "Miss, Mr. Dugan!" SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1914. agryly. "I don't understand your lacking that door." "Perhaps not now," was his response. "But you will understand it by and by." "I hope so. Now listen. Mr. Doogan I've got something to tell you." Mr. Doogan was all attention and she continued: "I don't think these things really have been stolen. I think they've only been insulted, that all I suspect some one of hiding them, unconscious of the act. But he doesn't exactly steal thighs. He just mislays them, that's all." "I know. You mean Mr. Cluney." "Mr. Cluney? Good gracious, not. I mean my husband." "Your husband?" cried Doogan in amusement. "Good God! There's two of them." "May I have your word of honor. Mr. Doogan, that you won't call in the police?" "Take it from me." earnestly replied Jack Doogan, "that whatever happens I won't call in the police." "My pet chocolate set!" she exclaimed. "I'll hide it in the pantry before it disappears with the rest of the tilings." "Devil take that old woman!" he growled. "Now I'll be steal those bonds all over again." Then he laughed as he thought of what he had said and muttered: "Two of them in the same house! Gooh! I'm the head keeper in a lunatic asylum. This is the limit! Hello, Nell!" he went on as the girl came in carrying a suit case which appeared to be very heavy. "Are you all set?" She put the suit case on the floor and breathed laboriously, as if she had been working hard and fast, and answered: "Yes, Jack. I've got all the stuff in her. Now, don't let's take any wild chances. Hurry!" "How will you make your getaway?" he asked anxiously. "Don't worry about me. I'll be all right," she replied. "I'll meet you at Frampton's in ten minutes—in the back room. But I want to grab up a scalakin for myself before I leave. Go on, Jack. Beat it!" "Frampton's in ten minutes," repeated Doogan. "Go on! Best it!" Jack Doogan, with the suit case full of loot in his hand, had reached the door leading to the outer hall when the front doorball rang. "He stopped and looked at Nell inquiringly. "Some one at the door!" he said in a low, cautious tone. "Hetter see who it is. Nell. But I wouldn't let him in until I have had a chance to look him over." While Nell went to the front door Doogan disappeared into the rear hall with the suit case and found a rear hall closet used as a receptacle for brooms, mops, pails, scrubbing brushes, etc. He hid the suit case in the closet behind a collection of broom handles and hurried back to the library, where he stood at the half open door communicating with the front hall and listened. Somebody was arguing with Nell at the front door—a man with a loud, insistent voice, who seemed to be very angry about something. "I tell you, girl. I must see him," continued the loud voiced man at the door. "There was scuffling, and Douglas Jamison, his hat on the back of his head, as usual, and the falls of his light overcoat flying behind him, came blistering into the library, almost running into Jack Doogan. "Who are you?" demanded Jamison curtly. "Who are you?" countered Doogan, with equal bretility. "My name's Jamison. I want to see Mr. Carr at once." "What about?" "Business." "What business?" "None of your business?" stormed Jamison. "Who are you?" "I'm the new secretary," replied Jack Doogan, with a sudden inspiration. "I dare say I can attend to your business." "No, no! You won't do!" Then, to Nell, who had been standing in the background waiting to take her cue from her lover, whatever it might be, Jamison pot the question, "Where's Mr. Carr?" "He's out, sir." "Out, out, out!" raved Jamison. "Then, get some one—any one, so long as it's a member of the family. Tell them Mr. Jamison is here." "They're all out, sir," she assured him. "All, eat? This is a very urgent matter. Where did they go?" There was a knocking outside the door of the room in Which Doogan had locked Mr. Carr and his daughter, with James Cluney. Jamison turned swiftly and, with dark suspicion, pointed at the door and enquired sharply: "What's that? What's that knocking?" Out came William Carey. Oceane William Carr. "Hello, Jamison! I thought I heard your voice!" "What's the matter with you? Why were you locked in that room?" heard Jamison. But before Mr. Carr could speak Jamison turned to Moll: "What did you mean by telling me he was out?" Dragon went up to Mr. Carr and in the hidden treasure said, "I tried to harm "What was?" "What do you mean?" "What are you mean?" "Anything wrong?" "No, replied. Care. What do you mean?" "Ordinary detective." "Ordinary detective." "The child's police officer should not tell them." "What do I want? I want to give you the good news. I put through the field I told you of. I've come to reopen the mean. She here." Mr. Jamison took from a product a package of bank notes, the eight of which made Jack Dengan's shades hibiscus, and slipped them quick, showing that most of them were yellow backs. "This is money—real money, Carr," went on Dengan Jamison in his usual loud, booming fashion. "I've brought it here to pay you. I've got the exact amount right here. Now I want those steel stock certificates at once." "You want those steel stock certificates?" said Mr. Carr doubtfully. "What stock do you mean?" "The stock I gave you as security, of course. Hurry, please, Carr. I've no time to lose." "Mother, here's good news. Mr. Jamison is here to redeem his notes. Come in!" It was here that Mr. Douglas Jamson was guilty of a very foolish act. in that he slipped the package of bank-notes into an outer pocket of his overcoat. No sooner had Jamison's hand left his pocket than Neill's hand was in it. Jack Doogan was the only person who saw the move and then the girl held out the bundle of notes to him. He passed the money to his own pocket and was on his way to the door leading to the back stairs, when Cluney strolled into the room and called to him: "Wait a minute, Doogan!" "All right, Cluney!" "I'll get the certificates for you right away, Jamison," said Mr. Carr as he dropped on one knee in front of the safe and began to work the combination. "He's after the steel stock certificates," mumbled Cluney to Doogan. "I haven't got them." "You haven't? Why, what did you do with them?" was Doogan's reproachful question. "Dr. Willoughby has them in his pocket." William Carr opened the safe, and after a loud shriek of dismay, stared stupidly into its empty interior, as he freely muttered: "Gone! They're all gone!" "Here, this is all rubbish! bawled Jamison. "I want those stocks, and I want them now. I must have them." "A pleasing scream from Mrs. Carr. who was poking about in the safe, made everybody jump. "The sunburst! The diamond sunburst! It is gone too!" "And the bonds—the International Steel bonds! They're gone! Everything's gone!" waited Mr. Carr. "The safe has been robbed." "By heavens. Carr. I'll make you stand my loses. I will, sir, if I have to sell, you out of house and home. The law will force you to protect me. Why don't you call in the police? Is it—" "Wait a moment, Mr. Jamison, begged Cluney, going up to him and laying a hand on his arm. "We don't want to call in the police because—because it isn't necessary. I know exactly where those stocks are." "Where are they, then?" vociferated Jamison. "Where—" "Hush, hush! I don't know where they are now. But if you'll wait ten minutes"— "Ten minutes? Oh, I see! What is this—a brace game? You're trying to hold me here until the market is closed. I believe you're all in a pool. You're holding out my stocks to affect the market. But we shall see! We shall see!" He made a mad rush for the door. "What are you going to do? shouted Cluney. "Have you all arrested?" Jamison howled back. "You're all criminally liable." "Walt, Jamison; wait!" called out Mr. Carr. "Don't be basty. If I'm responsible my property will protect you." Jamison stopped, and a cruelly hard smile agreed over his face. "Very well," he said, "We'll see. Make out an accurate list of everything you own, and when I return I'll book it over and see if it's enough to insure my profits on this stock deal." And again he made for the door. He had brought out his wallet while speaking, found, that it was empty and now was hastily feeling in all his other pockets for the package of banknotes, while his eyes widened and his big face turned a yellowish white. "Great Scott!" he shrieked. "Two lost my money! My money's gone." All was excitement. "Strange!" commented Mr. Carr. "Very strange!" assented Jack Doogan, shaking his head gravely. "Some one has stolen my money!" yelled Jamison. He shook his first at everybody in turn as he shouted: "I've been robbed. This is a trick. But mark you—all of you. By all that's holy you'll be revenged. I'll move beaven and earth to recover this money and find that stock. Do you know what I am going to do?" He was at the door again and held it half open as he asked this question with a snarl that showed all his teeth, white his eyes rolled in savage frenzy. "No. What are you going to do?" inquired Jack Doogan, who was the only self possessed personage in the room. "I'm going to put you all in jail!" screamed Jamison as he stormed out of the house. No one spoke. He had effectually terrorized everybody except Jack Doogan, and even that redoubtable soldier of fortune looked perplexed. It was he who at last summoned: "Hate a crazy guy isn't he!" "But what are we going to do?" cried his wife piteously. "He's dangerous!" Put us all in jail! Think of it! "Walt, Bates!" said Cluney. "Mr. Doggan's from headquarters. He can get rid of the police all right. Can't you, Doggan?" "Now, listen to me," said Deagan Suspectedly, "You know I can and I will ordinary detective. No. I'm one of the old child's private man. Here, if the police should get here before I have don't tell them I'm a detective, whatever you do." "Why not?" asked Carr. "Why not?" repeated Dempsey. "Why, don't you see?" They'd wryder why I was born. They'd know then that the house had been robbed. They'd send the report to headquarters. The newspapers would get the story and disgrieve the spirit. Don't you see?" "That's a good idea," informed Clemny. "A great idea!" added Carr. A GENERAL SURVEY OF THE WAR WEDNESDAY. Both wings of the German army in northern France are falling back, according to dispatches from the battle front the Paris. The position of Junitville, the main supply point of the right wing and center, is said to be precarious. One report from Paris says that the Germans are in retreat all along the line. Official French and German bulletins, however, indicate that the situation in the center is practically stationary. The Berlin bulletins speak of the fighting on the western end of the battle line as indecisive; the French bulletins report the repulse of a German attack between the Alpine and the Oise. In East Prussia a furious battle has been waged since Sunday between the armies of Generals Rennenkampf and Von Hindenburg, with the Germans being several times repulsed in their attempts to cross the Nilom river. THURSDAY Fighting stubbornly, the right and left wings of the German army in northern France are being pushed slowly backward. Only the center, according to dispatches from Paris and London, is holding fast. To check the developing movement of the allies on the western end of the long line, the forces under General Von Kluck have tried repeatedly to break through at Tracy-le-Mont, but here, as well as in the Woover district, on the oxitone eastern end, the Anglo-French army is reported to be advancing. The Germans have begun a vigorous attack upon the forts around Antwerp with the heavy siege guns which reduced the forts at Liege and Namur. Petrogrand reports that the Russian advance in Poland has been resumed, with the Germans, who have lost 12, 000 men, retreating before it. FRIDAY. The retreat of the Germans from France is under way and is being carried out as rapidly as possible, according to unofficial advises from the battle front. Withdrawal will speedily become a rout, the dispatches declare, in the event that General Von Kluck is defeated in his frantic onslaught at Roye to halt the swift victorious march of the French. Advices from Petrograd say that the German army which invaded Poland now is in full retreat, after seven days of fighting, and that the siege of Ossowiec has been lifted. An Austro-German army of 2,500,000 men has been concentrated on the Thorn-Craow line, south of Breslau, ready to resist invasion by the Russians of Sliesia. SATURDAY. The flanking movement of the Anglo-French allies, designed to encircle the right wing of the German army in France, is reported to have been extended still farther to the north and the east, until the hostile troops are fighting in the vicinity of Doual, fifteen miles from the Belgian border. At the same time the Germans seem to have received heavy reinforcements, for Paris admits that the flanking movement has been brought to a standstill, at least temporarily. The long-expected clash between the Russians and the Austro-German army near the border of Silesia is on. Progress is reported in the investment by the Germans of Antwerp. The outer defenses are now being bombarded from Fort Boom, southwest of the city, to Fort Lierre, to the southeast. SUNDAY. According to the official statement in Paris the struggle on the left wing is at its height in the Arras district, but it is without any decisive result. There is also reported another action between the upper vallys of the Encre and the Somme and between the Sommo and the Oise. The Pronch report progress in the Solssons district, where they have taken German trenches. It is officially announced that the Russian army are everywhere on the offensive. General Rennonkoumt is advancing in East Prussia, sonding strong forces towards the Vistula and the Danzig-Shorn. The Germans and Austrians are being driven back from south Poland toward the. Posen-Kallascz-Czernata chowa line of defense. Two of the outer forts of Antwerp have fallen, according to an official Berlin dispatch. Two Belgian statements contradict this. MONDAY. Germany's harrassed right wing army in France advanced in a series of massed attacks against the French and British north of the River Oise. General Von Kluck's forces assaulted the allies in new counter attacks. The French and British were driven from some positions by the fury of the German onslaught. British troops are now fighting side by side with the Belgians in the defense of Antwerp. The British heavy artillery has been of great help to the Belgians. Our Minuteman arrived at the battle front to驻守 the first line soldiers in the amphibious Crawler, calipers of modern Patterson where a huge American German army has been assembled to contend the Minuteman invasion of Germany. It is estimated that 3,000,000 troops will engage in the battle new opening. ANTWERPCUTOFF REPORTEBFALLEN Amsterdam Bospatch Is Not Confirmed. After, Battering Away For Four Days at the Fort, Kaiser's Troops Are Storming the Defenses. A London news agency dispatch from Amsterdam says that communication with Antwerp has been cut off, and it is reported that the city has been captured by the Germans. No confirmation of the report has come from any source. "The following official statement was given out by the war office in Paris: "The Belgian forces defending Antwerp have occupied strongly the line between the River Rupei and the River Neth." Against this line the attacks of the Germans have entirely failed." "The situation in Antwerp is serious. Unless the allies give aid very quickly the city is likely to fall before the Germans." This message, received from a correspondent in the beleaguered city, shows in the belief of persons in London that the Germans investing forces are advancing and that Antwerp is in a desperate plight. The attack began late Monday, after the great stage guns of the Germans had battered away at the forts for four days, and fighting continued throughout the greater part of Monday night. The statement issued at the war office said the attack had been repulsed at all points. The enemy is trying to take by storm the defenses that the artillery has failed to destroy," said the statement, "but we have repulsed every attempt. The fighting was of a desperate character several times during the night, our troops engaging in hand-to-hand struggles with their assaultants. The Belgians won new glory by their heroic defense." The night fighting took place under the glare of searchlights operated by both the contending armies. Those of the Belgians were mounted on the fortifications, while those of the Germans played from a number of balloons behind their attacking lines. Several times German aeroplanes attempted to fly over the city, but each attempt was met with a volley of bullets that drove the aviators to flight. Messages from King George, President Polincare, of France, and Czar Nicholas, of Russia, congratulating him upon the valor shown by the Belgian troops, and declaring that their operations have been of vast help in carrying out the campaign plans of the allies. Reports were current that King Albert had been wounded by a bursting shell, but these were officially denied at the war office, where it was stated that the king was personally directing operations, but was incurring no unnecessary risk. RUSSIANS INVADE GERMANY Two Vast Armies March on Allenstein in North. Advice received in London from Petrograd, Rome and Paris indicate that the invasion of East Prussia by the Russian armies has begun at last in earnest. The previous entry of the Russians under General Rennenkampf pales in to insignificance before the present rapid advance of the forces under the personal command of the czar, which according to all information, is being made from two directions. A dispatch received from Rome quotes the Russian ambassador to Italy as saying that two large armies, one from the east and another from the south, are converging on Allenstein, where an engagement had been fought earlier in the war. It is unofficially reported from northwestern Gallies that the Russians have captured the fortress of Tarnow. Cossacks are riding within ten miles of Cracow. The exar's southern armies are developing their offensive against the right wing of the Austro-German forces. In southwestern Poland, in the general region of Cracow, near Kielce, Russian cavalry has defeated German troops sent from France of defend Cracow. Unquestionably a great battle has been begun in that region, a combat which may determine the fate of Cracow and Silesia.

The latest official bulletin from the scene of the great battle in France was issued in Paris and stated that the fighting on the allies left wing, north of the Osse river, was becoming more violent. An earlier Parts bulletin announced the extension of the allies' front on their left, despite the fact that an important cavalry force of Germans had appeared north of Lille. Berlin announces that the Germans have again captured Fort Camp de Romans, on the Meuse river, near St. Michel, which they were compelled to abandon a short time ago. The statement is made that the German entrenchments have been extended fifteen miles at some places on left right. The last French builtness said, "The characteristics of the sit-tion remain the same. On our left wing, to the north of the Oise, the action is becoming more violent. At the center there is relative calm. A light ground has been gained in the region north of the heights of the Meuse." The earlier builtness said: "On our left wing the front is extending more and more widely. Very important masses of German cavalry have been reported in the environs of Lille, coming from forces of the enemy which are making a movement in the region to the north of the line between Toufcoing in the department of Nord, seven miles northeast of Lille and Armentieres (nine miles northwest of Lille). "In the vicinity of Arras and on the right bank of the River Somme the situation shows little change. Between the Somme and the Oise there have been alternate advances and withdrawals. Near Lassigny the enemy undertook an important attack, which, however, failed. "On the right bank of the Alpine, north of Solosse, we have, with the co-operation of the British army, made a slight advance. We have also made some progress in the vicinity of Berry-au-Bac. "There is nothing to report from the rest of the front. "In Belgium the Belgian forces defending Antwerp have occupied strongly the line between the River Rupel and the River Nethe; against this line the attacks of the Germans have failed. "Fighting continued night and day, particularly on our right wing, where the enemy is stubbornly resisting our offensive. He is being driven back, however. Our entrenchments have been extended fifteen miles at some points. On Sunday night the enemy made a particularly sharp attack in an attempt to surprise us, and severe fighting ensured for six hours. He was repulsed and forced to retire in haste to escape being cut off. The aerial scouts have been of great value in learning the movements of the enemy." A statement issued in Berlin said: "On our left wing we have again advanced to the Meuse. "Fort Camp de Romains, on the River Meuse, near St. Mihiel, after a number of hard fights, has been taken by the Germans. Five French officers and more than 500 men were made prisoners. The remainder of the French force perished in the ruins of the casemate. "In the center the artillery duel continues. The situation in general indicates that a decided result is not yet at hand. "As a result of the breach made in the fortifications at Antwerp, our lines and artillery have been drawn closer about that city. The inner works are now being bombarded. Our success in the eastern arena has met with no check. We continue to advance. "It is officially stated that the Russians were completely defeated near Suwali and Augustoow, on the East Prussian frontier, Oct. 1 and 2. The Germans made three thousand prisoners and captured eighteen cannon and many machine guns. "The situation, it is announced, is most hopeful everywhere for the Germans and Austrians." The disclosure that the operations on the western end of the great battle line have reached the vicinity of Lille places the allies in strength at a location easily within ten miles of the Belgian frontier. Taking Luxemburg as the elbow of the French battle hit it now extends roughly for eighty miles one north and for considerably more than 100 miles from Lausigny to the eastward. Simplify the official announcement of the match yielded at some pots, confirmed in the ultimate success of the French and British is by no excuse disqualified. Meanwhile, without confidence and with no sign of a truce, GERMAN POSTER. Full Size Reproduction of Shells Used Bombarding Forts. Deutsch Rikas Melterraschung 104 Rusine 42cm Beut Erfolge Bütteln Mit Schrift Frei Bütteln und Schrift London has received specimens of a broadsheet published in Berlin, where it is said to have been widely sold. It is in a full size reproduction of the great German siege guns, which were first used so effectively in smashing the Liege forts. The legend at the top post poses, mourn, the high sights of the great War Survival 1914. The sheet is labelled "Our 42C Bomb," and bears the names of Liege, Namur, Longwy and Maubeuge, Belgium and Byland, the dales of their hall and pictures of the ruins. Bezw is the motto "With God For King and Fatherland." The sheet is held by a man to show the relative site of the shell. the tremendous battle of millions of men is going on. "North of the Oise" has appeared for the frat time in a war office statement. Hitherto, all the combats fought on the right bank of the Oise river have been mentioned either in the region of Roye or between the Somme and the Oise. There is much speculation on the phase of the fighting in that vicinity which can have a greatly varied importance. The familiarity of the French with the territory is frequently of considerable advantage to them. The marches of Saint Gond, near the Petit Morin river, are firm in the dry season, and the Germans there had all preparations for an important surprise attack. The night before this was to occur a heavy rain made the swamp a lake and turned the position to the disadvantage of the Germans. The French merely stuck to their positions, and while the Germans were in distress in the soggy ground mowed large numbers with their artillery fire. The digging of false French, and the unusual efforts are being reported to by one side or the other. The lists of dead printed in the newspapers are growing. They sometimes furnish the only news of soldiers since their departure for the front. 6 MOS. WAR $17,500,000,000 Economist Also Says Germany May Pay $4.95-$6.00,000 Have to Pay $0,000,000,000. That the European war will cost the world $17,600,000,000 if it last six months is the declaration of Yves Guyot, economist and former cabinet minister at Paris France. Paul Loray Beauille, another French economist, says public loans that will be necessary after the war will amount to $8,000,000,000. Europe will look to the United States to provide it with money. "Germany will probably have to pay an indemnity of $4,000,000,000 to $5,000,000,000, says M. Beauille. This she could do merely by taxing alcohol and tobacco." German Losses In Poland The Paris Matia prints the following under a Petrograd date: "The official estimate of the German losses at Augsburg, Suwalki and Merljanpol is 100,000. The Russian capture of Soldau is confirmed." The Word "Dixon" The word "divan" means "council of state" in Amphic and Turkish Both Milton and Pope use the word in the sense of council in general. From meaning council the word came to mean council chamber and from that the arrangement of cushions round the chamber. A divan in this sense is strictly a row of cushions rung along the walls of a room, either on the floor or on a raised step or on a bench. Hence we speak of a sofa or bench in a divan and of a thickly cushioned chair as a divan chair. Worsted Worsted was first spun in 1340 at Worsted, York, England, and was worn by Worsted in 1341.

AGE OF HUMANITY. The age of chivalry his gone An age of humanity has come The horse, whose importance, more than human, gave the name to that early period of gallantry and war, now yields his foremost place to man. In serving him, in promoting his elevation, in contributing to his welfare, in doing him good, there are fields of bloodless triumph, nobler far than any in which the bravest knights ever conquered. Here are spaces of labor wide as the world, lofty as heaven—Charles Summer. Had a System. "I am writing my husband for money." "And does he always send it when you write?" "Not always the first time.

G. Cowan Wednesday in the trial of the Rev. Albert T. Overby, charged with defrauding Calvary Baptist Church, whose pulpit he formerly occupied. The hearing began Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock and lasted until 6:40 o'clock in the evening, when Magistrate Cowan continued the case until Thursday morning. All the evidence was concluded, and it is expected that the case will be finished to-day. Overby is alleged to have appropriated the sum of $45.50 out of the funds of the church which was given a generous bible. He is said to have been given $41 to pay for lumber used in erecting the building, $5 to Rev. Anthony for preaching and 50 cents collection, all of which amounts he is said to have kept for his own use. The attention of the congregation was first called to the matter when the bill for the lumber was presented, for which the money had already been given Overby. A meeting of the official board was called, and the preacher was deposed. Warrants for his arrest were issued last week. Attorney J. M. Turner and Correspondent Sims, Jr. and Counsel engaged by the jury and Attorney William M. Justis, Jr. is counsel for the board of deacons.

A penny saved is a penny earned Banjamin Franklin WHEN linen tablecloths are discarded because more-than-wearing would be unpractical they may be turned into four napkins, towels and tray cloths. The four corners of a tablecloth seldom or never show any signs of wear or tear, so that they may be cut into four napkins as large as may be desired, binned and taken for ordinary use. When the napkins are cut out the remainder of the cloth forms a large sized Maltese cross, which can be turned into towels, two shorter and two longer. Those will not be as strong and lasting as the napkins, yet they are well worth the hemming. If any part of the Maltese cross is too worn to make a towel, then the good parts may be cut to the size of the various trays in the house and trimmed around the edges with good face which has been saved from expensive underwear. Using the Designs. Old damask tablecloths may have their usefulness extended. One housekeeper did it in the following way: She saw that the design was an ideal one for a picture holder, pillow cover, table cover and other things. She first made a picture frame, thinking that she would trace the damask design to the material, pad it and work it the usual way, but she finally decided that it would be easier to work right over the damask, thus saving time, insuring accuracy and furnishing the painting at the same time. So she hosted the damask design on a place of light colored satin, covered the roses and leaves with the usual colors with the embroidery stitch, following the pattern as carefully as a stamped one. When all the damask design was covered she cut off the exposed damask carefully. The satin then presented an exquisite wreath of roses standing out distinctly. As an experiment she made a tiny edge of buttonhole stitch around the entire outline, not catching up the satin. This would only be necessary when it is difficult to cut the damask as close as desired. The work was then mounted on a circular cardboard and the result was a handmade frame. Transfer a damask pattern to almost any cushion material and you will have a dainty cushion and one that isn't the model of your neighbor's. There is no limit to the user and combinations arising from this method. Never throw away tray cloths, napkins or tablecloths of damask no matter how much they are worn. A UNIQUE CLOSET. How to Make More Space For Hanging Clothing. A clever closet arrangement made by a woman who found too little closet room in her small house is an idea well worth passing on. She had a carpenter put up a shelf eighteen inches wide by fifty-six inches long and thirty inches from the floor. On top he built three hatboxes eighteen inches square, with drop fronts instead of covers and snap catch hooks to fasten them with. Under the shelf he put a wooden curtain pole halfway between the edge of the shelf and the wall and three inches from the shelf. The clever woman herself painted and enamelled the shelf and boxes white, fastened, a small brass rod around the shelf and made a curtain of dark blue denim, making a cut out appliqué border of the wrong side of the denim, which was pale blue, and buttonholing the edge with white. The curtain was quite full, and a few weights were put in the bottom hem to keep the folds in place. She slipped her best bag into well blued mullin bags, thus leaving the regular closet for everyday use. The hattoxes obviated the necessity of having bandboxes under the bed. In the kitchen she had the carpenter build her a window box the width and length of the sill, six inches high and divided into three compartments with hinged covers. In two of these were kept her kitchen forks, knives and spoons and in the third small laundry accessories. This left the small table drawer for the towels. In the bottom of each hardware compartment was a small cotton flannel pad to keep the things from rattling and scratching. How to Launder Fine Nate and Lace Curtain The best process for washing fine nets and lice curtains is to wash them in warm water, not too hot, and the best naphtha soap. To wash them in too hot water makes them tender and causes the threads to break. 'After washing out the dust in warm water soap them and allow them to stand for fifteen or twenty minutes. Then wash them by hand and always wipe lice curtains' carefully through the wringer, never by hand. That strains them and causes them to break in places. Rinse well in cold water, then starch with warm starch. If this process does not whiten them, scald, but do not boll them. This is the best way to wash fine curtains, especially scruc colored.

HOW TO MAKE TIMOTHY SEED DECORATIONS Have you see the funn' little clay lions, pig and fierce looking men's heads with grotesque bristling green thimble grass growing on their surface? A leading horist in one of our large cities is exhibiting these queer things, which have attracted much attention. The lion, with blades of grass forming his heavy mane, is realistic. As for the pig, the green grass bristling over his entire body resembles the porcupine with his world renowned quills. The fierce looking clay head is of a terrible, weird aspect with its green hair, eyebrows and musculus. These little clay novelties can be bad for 50 or 75 cents. Timothy seed is sprinkled on each piece. A hole in the top admits of water to be poured into the "wuse" every day. It takes only two weeks' time for the tiny grass to appear, and then you have an interesting piece of indoor greenery. These "plants" are particularly suitable to the nursery. The children will derive much amusement from watching the Lion's mane, the plies' skin or the man's hair turn green. FOR THE HOUSEWIFE. How to Make a Homemade Fireless Cooker. The cooker in question was designed by a young housewife and was made by her husband under her supervision. It is a compact box about thirty inches long by fifteen wide and fifteen deep. The cover, instead of fitting over the top, fits just inside, and it is fastened in place, when the box is closed, by two wooden buttons set on to the edge of the box by screws. The box is lined on the inside with asbestos board, which is neatly tacked in. Two fifteen-inch squares of the same asbestos material divide the interior into three chambers or compartments of equal width. The round openings or "metals" into which the cooking utensils are made to fit are made by rolling pieces of asbestos into cylinder shape and fastening them together with a no tie wire. These round nests vary slightly in diameter, the smallest being six inch and the largest seven inch. The spaces between these nests and the sides of the compartments are filled with sawdust, which is packed closely. A large sheet of asbestos, cut to exactly, flt over the top of the box, has three round openings for the three nests. This piece is tacked firmly in place and presents a very neat appearance. It flt close in at the top of the box, so that when the cover is shut down there is no space between. There are three small squares of the asbestos which are for covering over the nest openings when food is set in them to be cooked. Two of the cooking vessels used in this homemade cooker are five pound lard pails, which have tight fitting covers. The third is a larger can, also of tin. The pails have wire handles and the large can has a small wire ring in the cover, by means of which it can be lifted. The smaller cans are designed for cooking cereals, puddings and vegetables and for baking round loaves of bread, while the large can is designed for cooking meats. The feature of this cooker, which distinguishes it from most homemade articles, is that it has soapstone, and iron plates, which can be heated so that roasting and baking can be done in the cooker. There are two soapstone plates, roughly cut, it is true, but they answer the purpose for which they are intended. They can make from a soapstone warmer, this having been cut in halves and the corners of each half sawed off, so that the soapstones have a hexagonal shape. The two iron plates are small, round stone covers. The owner of this ingenious cooker declares that it is entirely practical and serviceable. By heating the two soapstones and placing one at the bottom of a nest and the other on top of the cooking vessel, after the food has been put inside and the cover put on, she can bake bread or roast meat. In doing the roasting, however, she browns the meat in a frying pan before putting it into the cooker. In cooking breakfast cereal (which is put in the cooker the night before) and in boiling vegetables neither soapstones nor iron plates are used. This cooke, which cost about $1.50 is expected to take the place of a range oven for its owner. She has a two burner alcohol stove, on which steaks and chops will be cooked and over which the soappanes and iron plates are heated. At night some water is heated over the alcohol stove to put into the "fireless" and kept warm for toilet use in the morning. The cereal also is brought to a boil and then set into the cooker. In the morning there is no building of fires necessary. The cereal is ready for the table and coffee can be made and eggs or fish cooked in a few minutes over the alcohol stove. While breakfast is being eaten the dishwater is heating. After breakfast a francesca or stew or brise is made ready for the cooker and set into it to cook for the midday meal. This foe away with excessive heat in the kitchen, and the clear woman who contrived the cooke declares that it has already proved to be worth much more than the amount of money it cost. ```markdown ``` Banker Pettiford Gone! (Continued From First Page.) Alabama Penny Savings Bank, and Mr Luther B. Pettiford, an agricul- tural student at Toskegge, where he graduated. All the children of Dr. Pettiford have made commendable success. At 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 22nd, when the mortal remains of Dr. W. R. Pettiford, president of the Maryna Penny Savings Bank, were carried into the Statehott St. Baptist Church there was present the largest audience that ever assembled At the funeral of a colored citizen in Birmingham. The large auditorium, galeries, aisles and all available space were crowded and many who could not find entrance including several representative white citizens such was the vast audience that turned out to pay the last sad respect to the reminis of Dr Petittré and to be living witnesses of the high respect in which he was held by the citizens of both races. The audience was composed of white and colored. Practically every minister of the gospel of every church in and around Birmingham, not only record to determination, was present. Many citizens from penitentiary towns and villages were present as were representatives from Nashville, Montgomery, Selma and other places. The audience numbered at least 500, and many hundreds were turned away for want of standing room. In the audience were persons representing every walk of the profession, calling the vocation from the highest to the lowest. Such was the eloquent tribute paid at the silent voice of being present. Many who could not be present and messages and telegraphs of condolence and sympathy to the family and expressions of their appreciation and condolences addressed by Dr. Peterson to those of his family generation disregarding race lines During the day messages from prominent Negroes throughout the country continued to pour In Among the messages sent were those from Dr. Booker T. Washington, Prof. Jno Hope, president Atlanta Baptist College, J. C. Napier, president Penny Savings Bank, Nashville, C. Cifru Johnson, manager Union Mutual Aid Insurance Company, Mobile; Prof. A. H. Parker, principal Industrial High School, Birmingham; Prof. R. B. Hudson, secretary National Baptist Convention, Selma; and many others, including a most kindly expression from Mr. W. W. Crawford, president American Trust and Savings Bank. In his expression these words were used by that splendid type of southern manhood "Dr. Petford was a good man and a citizen from every viewpoint, and our city and state can ill afford to lose so good a man." From other whites came a broad and generous expression delivered by a representative of the Baptist Ministers' Union. Prof. W. B. Patterson, president State Normal at Montgomery; sent a touching message. The floral offerings made almost a wilderness of flowers, except that they were artistically arranged. The flowers are said to have been more abundant than in any funeral ever conducted for a Negro in Birmingham. Every beautiful design appropriate for a funeral seems to have been used. Many cost considerable money. Among the most beautiful designs were from the Birmingham Business League, a most beautiful one from George B. Ward, president City Commission, a lovely and appropriate one from the Old Folks and Orphans Home, the directors of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank; the employees of the bank; still others came from C. First Johnson, of Mobile; Jones Valley Lodge, L. B. P. O. B. G. S. Lewis, D. Lilly and wife; Sixteenth Street Baptist Missionary Society; John Brown and wife, Mont- gomery; Interdimensional Ministers' Alliance; Atlanta-Alabama Special Benefit Co.; Dr. U. G. Mason; trustees Selma University; J. D. Moseley and wife; S. C. Mins; Twentieth Century Club; R. M. Neely and family; W. B. Patterson, principal State Normal Montgomery; Atlanta Mutual Insurance Co.; Wilma Byrd and mother; J. C. Baker; Mt Pilgrim Woman's Missionary Society. Seated on the rostrum just above this mammoth bank of flowers and facing a literal sea of faces were Rev. J. H Eason, D. D., president Alabama Baptist State Convention; Rev. D P Moore, D. D., presiding in the A. M. E. Church, Rev. F G. Ragland, pastor First Congregational Church, Rev. J A Dray, D. D., General Secretary Education, C. M. E. Church, Rev. R C. Judkins, D. D., pastor Dexter Avenue Baptist Church Montgomery; Rev. R H. Boyd, D. D., secretary and manager National Publishing Board, Nashville; Rev. Jno. W. Goodgame, D. D., pastor Sixth Avenue Baptist Church; Rev. S M. Hall, D. D., moderator Mt. Pilgrim Baptist Association; Rev. M W. Gilbert, D. D., president Selma University; Rev. C B. Jones of Mississippi; Mr. Victor H. Tulane, trustee Tuskegee Institute and caster branch Penny Bank, Montgomery; Rev. W M. Crane, presiding elder C. M. E. Church; Dr. Kent, editor Baptist Leader; Dr. Kelly, pastor Friendship Baptist Church; Dr. C. O. Booth. Among the whitee present who see were the Roy A. J. Dickinson, Freston Blake, the Rev. James M. Shellburn, Rev. Jao. W. Inser, Dr. Ogquemon, representing the Birmingham Baptist Association; Mr. D. M. Lewis, Birmingham Library Board; Mia A. L. Sparks, of the Associated Charities; Mr. M. Lee Bonner, lawyer; Mr. D. P. Coleman, Dr. Charles Wheolan, city physician; Mr. Belton Glireath, coal operator; Mr. William W. B. Rudroughs, Mrs. F. Nelson Andrews, Mr. J. A. Hard. Most impressive were the exercises which partook more of the nature of a memorial than a funeral. The program was so varied as to the subjects, that large opportunity was given the several speakers to place before the audience to great effect the strong points in the life of the illustrious dead. Nor was this opportunity lost, for all the speakers portrayed in beautiful language and figures the charming life of usefulness lived by the noble hero, Dr. Pottiford. In the great audience that through the church and entrance ways and the carriages and automobiles for fully two blocks, everywhere men and women were speaking words of praise for the life of usefulness and devotion exemplified in Dr. Pottiford. The program was a fitting one and every speaker felt as though he was called to get out of himself and rise to great heights. Dr. J. A. Whitted, the pastor of Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, being absent, the Rev. Mr. Avery, assistant pastor, acted as master of sermonites. The funeral sermon was delivered by Dr. C. O. Booth, who took as a text, "A prince, a great man has fallen" from 2 Samuel 3:38. From the text he drew some beautiful lessons. The music rendered by the choir accompanied by the sweet strains of the great pipe organ, was impressive, as were also the solo by Mr. J. K. Moore, and the one by Mrs. Witkerson. The opening prayer, sweet and appropriate, was offered by Rev. F. G. Ragland, president of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, and the Scripture lesson was read by Rev. D. F. Moore, presiding elder of the A. M. E. Church. ] Strong and forcible talks were made on the following phases of the life of Dr. Pettiford (1) "As a Friend," an appropriate and touching tribute, by Rev. J. P. Washington, who was a boy companion, school mate and associate for more than forty years. (2) "As a Citizen," by Mr. R. W. Taylor, who spoke in choice and splendid language of Dr. Pettiford's many spheres of usefulness. (3) "As a Business Man," a suitable and complimentary by a business associate twenty-five years. Mr. H. H. Hudson, cashier Alabama Penny Bank. (4) "As a Civic Leader," a charming paper with many suitable and appropriate poetic quotations. Dr. W. P. Saunders. (5) "As a Race Man," by Dr. L. A. Bray, General Secretary Education, representing the Business League. He forcibly stressed the idea that Dr. Pettiford was a man of copolitan character, rising above petty things, broader than any church overlapping the conditions of any race and stretches beyond any class. (6) "As a Christian," a touching address of choice and appropriate sentiment and practical illustrations by Rev. S. M. Hull, moderator Mt. Pilgrim Baptist Association. The palebearers were the directors of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank while the honorary palebearers were from the ministers, professional men, and members of the Business League. The Negro Business League members, the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, the directors of the bank attended in a body. From the church the procession, almost a quarter of a mile long, proceeded to Oak Hill Cemetery, where the mortal remains of the greatest Negro banker, in America were deposited. Y. M. C. A.

Since then he has brought a lot of a piece of more than a thousand and built a brick wagon at a cost of $2,000.00 which was furnished by the fire department of the city of Mason City, 1905. Since then he has built another brick structure at a cost of $5,000.00 on the site of the one destroyed by fire, which is nearing completion with a membership of about 1200. It will require $2,500 to complete this church including organ, pews, heating and lighting apparatus, and we owe $11,500 making the total indebtedness $14,000. does that not speak well for one who has led his people for these many years. Our committee of one hundred indies are planning for the 50th. Anniversary though nearly a year off. Hon. John H. Robinson gave a graphic history of the church which will be given later.

FIGHT BLINDNESS IN VIRGINIA MOUNTAINS. Richmond, Va. Oct. 7, 1914—(Special). To combat the inadmissible spread of trachoma, which is dimming the vision of hundreds, and bringing blindness to many in the mountains of Virginia, the State Board of Health and the United States Public Health Service plan shortly to open a temporary hospital for the treatment of the disease. Preliminary plans have already been made and notice of the hospital selected. If the town and county in which the hospital is proposed to be located give assistance to the enterprise, patients will be received within a few weeks. The opening of the trachoma hospital will be the definite answer of the State tp a problem which health officers declare to be one of the most surprising and distressing in the health history of the south. Until recently, it was not known that trachoma claimed more than occasional victims in Virginia. Occultists rarely saw cases and health authorities did not consider it as a pressing question. But following the discovery of many cases in the mountains of Kentucky, a survey was made of Dickenson, Buchanan and nearby counties. The result showed that in those mountain sections, the disease was widespread and was affecting persons of all ages. Trachoma is a disease whose advance is slow. It is a malady of the eye-lids, conveyed-from the infected to the well, and causes a granulation of the lids which results in rough scar tissue. This scratches the smooth surface of the oye. Impairs the vision and not infrequently causes total blindness. Where trachoma has led to other affections of the oeye sight cannot be restored, but where the disease, unattended by serious complications, is treated, its spread can be stopped. Many who are practically blind have their vision renewed and others who would ultimately lose their sight are saved from that fate. In the judgment of health officers, the field treatment of trachoma offers an opportunity for the relief of human suffering scarcely second to that afforded by the distribution of diphtheria antitoxin. Following an inspection of the infected counties by Dr. Tallierco Clark of the United States Public Health Service, Assistant Health Commissioner, Dr. A. W. Freeman, and Dr. John McMullen of the Federal service last week visited Buchanan, Wise and Dickenson counties, conferred, with the local physicians, and after a careful study of local conditions, choose a site for the hospital. The United States government will supply surgeons for the treatment of trachoma, the State Board of Health will bear a part of the expense and the chosen county and city are asked to furnished a suitable building. It is hoped that the necessary arrangements can be completed this week and that an announcement can be made on October 15th, of the precise location of the hospital to which the trachoma victims of the mountains will be admitted absolutely without any cost. REDSIDE DIRECTIONS Richmond, Va. Oct. 7. 1914— (Secial). For, the benefit of physicians in whose practice scarlet fever and diphtheria have appeared and for the use of parents whose children may suffer from these diseases, the State Board of Health today asked the press of the State to announce the child directions for use of diphtheria fever fever cases and bulletins on these maladies are available for distribution and will be sent free upon request in needed quantities. As this is the season for these two diseases of childhood, the Board wishes the literature placed in the hands of all who will have use for it. At Such Times, as For Instance When a Bald, Bad 'Cowboy' Crosses His Path, He Is Prepared to Make the Best of a Bad Situation. BY M. QUAD. [Copyright, 1984, by Associated Literary [frees.)] OUR predecessor in the postoffice made a practice of licking on postage stamps for all persons who requested it, and one of the first changes we made after taking possession was in regard to this matter. We had, printed and hung up in the corridor half a dozen different signs of "No Lick Here," and notwithstanding the vigorous kick on the part of the public we have strictly adhered to the change. Tuesday evening, as we were temporarily in charge of the stamp window, a bluffer from New Mexico handed in two letters and four stamps and commanded us to lick. We know by the glint in his eye that he was reaching down for his gun, but we had one on a shelf beside us and had him covered before he could wink twice. He was somewhat surprised and disappointed at first, but we gave him credit for recognizing the situation and backing off as gracefully as possible under the circumstances. As postmaster we are willing to oblige all comers in everything pertaining to business, but our duty ends with selling the stamps. In our hurry to get to the bank the other day before closing hours we forgot our guns, and, as a natural result, A man with a sword and a knife is attacking another man with a flute and a drum. MADE US PLAY CIRCUS. bumped up against Joe. Pardon, the cowboy who had long had an itching to square accounts with us. As soon as Joe saw that we were unarmed he held a pair of guns on a level with our eyes and made us play circus for his benefit. We took back everything he asked us to and promised heaps of things' for the future, and at length he let up on us and walked away. We have been severely criticised for crawfishing as we did, but we have lived in Artisna for the last ten years, and we think we know our gait. The thirteen duffers planted in our private graveyard is a pretty good record of our shooting, but we can't shoot without a gun, and when all the guns are in the other feller's hands our policy is to keep him good natured. A little thing happened last Monday afternoon, for which we were in no wise to blame, and yet for which we feel it our duty to apologize to our fellow townmen. Ten days ago our esteemed contemporary saw a forty pound key of ink delivered at the Kicker office, and all at once. He has never been financially able to purchase over ten pounds of ink at one time in all his newspaper experience, and the sight of that key, which had been paid for cash down, rendered the old reprobate half crazy. For about the hundredth time in the last five years he determined to assassinate us, and as we left the mayor's office for the post-office he took up our trail and began abooting. We heard the reports of his gun, but gave them no attention, and it was not until the critter had fired sixteen bullets at us that we became aware of his presence. Then we suddenly lost control of our temper and turned on him and picked him up and jammed him into an empty barrel and spent five minutes cuffing his ears. He claims to be badly hurt in the spine, but aside from this we feel sorry that the thing happened. The trifling misunderstanding between Mr. Hornbecker of the Palace hotel and the editor of the Kicker has been greatly magnified. Mr. Hornbecker is near sighted and impulsive. We happened to encounter him while he was looking for another party with whom he had had words. He called us a liar and struck us on the chin. In ten seconds we had him against the wall with a gun covering his left eye, and as soon as he heard our voice he explained and apologized. We never walk the streets without being prepared to be called a liar or to hear the click of a pistol. If it's a mistake we pass it over; if there is any shooting to be done we shoot. Mr. Hornbecker simply made a mistake. Philosophical. "Dear Charles," said Mr. Flingtit, "used to send me alimony every month without a surmur." "You," replied Mrs Cayenne. "He says It's a great comfort to turn over a bouch of money to you without an argument because it isn't more"— Washington Star. TO QUEUE OWNING IN U. S. SHIPS American Flag WILL NOT Pro- tect Confrahard. PAGE TAKES SUBJECT OF State Department Makes Vigorous Protest Against Proposed Action of England. Vigorous protest by the United States against the declared purposes of Great Britain to seize all cargoes destined for Germany and Austria, deemed to be, contraband, even if they are carried in American ships, led to renewed conferences at the state department between Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambassador, who had notified this government of England's position, and Secretary of State Bryan. As a result it was announced that Great Britain had conceded the United States contention as far as foodstuffs were concerned, and that there would be no interference with shipments of such products to Holland. Furthermore, a revision by the British government of its proclamation with respect to contraband was promised. President Wilson told callers that the British government has been most friendly in its attitude on shipments of possible uncoatural character in American vessels and had shown a willingness to discuss the question. He declared that he had no doubt that a satisfactory arrangement would be reached. The state department's statement after the conference read: "It is understood that the British government intends to review its proclamation with respect to contraband, and meanwhile in neutral ships goods, such as foodstuffs consigned to Holland, in respect to which the Netherlands government has placed an embargo on exportation will not be treated as contraband." That the position of the allies to ward conditional contraband of war will be one of requiring proof of innocent intention was indicated when the British embassy made a claim that copper cargoes seized on their way to Holland would not be restored. The copper seized recently by the British was on its war to the Krupp gun works in Germany by way of Holland. The position of the French government is indicated by the, announcement that French warships recently seized a cargo of silver bars consigned by the Guggenheim to the Bank of Holland. The silver was released only after a French prize court had determined that the cargo was actually destined for Holland, a neutral country, and had been ordered before the beginning of the war. The British position caused the first serious complication which has arisen between the United States and any of the warring powers of Europe so far in the war. Killie Neighbor For Bear Mistaken for a bear, Prince Lilly, a young farmer, was shot and almost instantly killed with a shotgun loaded with large buckshot, by David Reid, a neighbor and aged Confederate veteran, on Richland mountain, near Winchester, Va. Lilly was in a tree, shaking down chestnuts. He wore a long coat, colored like bearskin. Taking deliberate aim from thirty yards away, Reid fired, the entire load going clear through Lilly's body. He uttered an agonizing cry, fell and died in twenty minutes. In his remorse Feld endoavowed to shoot himself, but was prevented by a relative of Lilly, who came upon the scene just in time. The aged veteran has since collapsed. Both men were in the mountains for chestnuts and neither knew of the other's presence. Blinded by Belclan Gicl Blinded by Belgian Girl. "A German officer whose eyes had been gouged out told me that a Belgian girl, not more than eighteen years old, had committed the deed while he lay helplessly wounded on the battlefield," declared Dr. Yoshiharu Matsuda, a Japanese physician, who arrived in New York on the liner Vaderland, from Munich, where he had worked in the hospitals caring for many of the German wounded. "Another of the wounded German officers told me that of 1254 men under his command 'before Liege', 920 were killed outright in the first assault," added Dr. Matsuda. Seize the Kaiser's Cattle A dispatch received by the London Star from Petrograd says that among the remarkable war trophies arriving at Smolensk are Emperor William's famous pedigreed cattle and stud horses captured by the Russians from the emperor's estate at Rominten, in East Prussia. They were taken to Moscow and presented to the Russian agricultural institute for distribution to agricultural breeding associations. Four Slain at Crossing. Four persons were instantly killed at Singer station when a Baltimore & Ohio train struck an automobile driven by Haines Harlan, of Providence, Md. The dead are: Mrs. Tillie Harlan; two children of Mrs. Harlan; Lizzie Stewart, nineteen years old, a servant of the family. Harlan, the husband and father, was taken to the hospital in Elkton by Dr. Caneo, of Cherry Hill. His condition is critical. The car, driven by Harlan, ran on the track in front of the train, which threw it in front of the coastbound extra freight. The car was demolished, and Mrs. Harlan and her children and the servant were killed instantly. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100.

Representative Levy, of New York, notified Secretary of State Bryan that he owed sell Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, to the government for $500,000. "I feel that I am forced to yield to public sentiment in this mater," Mr. Levy told the secretary, "and I will consent to part with the property for $500,000, despite the fact that I have spent over a million dollars in improvements upon it. The only conditions I have to make is that Monticello be known and used as the 'Virginia Home of the Presidents.'" Kills Two Little Girls While they were sleeping, Mary Lentz, eight years old, and Boula Lentz, four years old, were shot to death by their father, James F. Lentz, at their home in Baltimore. Lentz then shot and killed himself. The mother and the three remaining children escaped in their night clothes. Mrs. Lentz said that her husband had been very quarrelsome for several months and had frequently threatened to kill the entire family. Powder Explosion Kills Four. Four persons, including H. B.

It is difficult to say what the highest temperature is that a human body can live in. In the kitchens of some of the great hotels and in the stochastic of some steamships the temperature goes to 140 or 145 degrees. Cooks and their helpers and stokers have to ensure that temperature for hours at a time, and they seem to get along pretty well. The hottest place perhaps where human beings work is in the vegetation factors, where the temperature is 112, the boiling point of water. There are a few who can stand this heat for a little while at a time, but that is the limit; man can endure as much as New York American. gia By 233 Hg ne i ai hel 252 18 ake pee sige sii #32 B23% aati iii Boe bee ne HEF 2e8 OHHH ecat 5.888 eatt aye apesalae jail eeade zi38 TE BHE a2 gat { u selbae Hogi Freagee ee =a 5d are aati 34°3 bREts i = HH pela! feplrie Hb é geks Hila lhe te Hab iF aad eal Fede sist BE es oe cae w ati i 24 tise tt ie ae st By Hu ian ae al oO) 5 Heliteh be Pie = nae Té = ail 5 ids gE TEE saa © g2g* @ gayi z § 3 & gS Hdl ‘a: z Beliaih 1 ay) agile Ey yaa ! a yidye a28 JURE are 3 Sul os foe aug ual a qi AnH 3.3% g38 ERS3 z 2 2 a vibes 2 ils AeA Es mit i, ay ~ —— geceee alli iy? 28s and acd i at aaa ou HL al i i . i elit i all Hah Ww) | a] ‘ —_ g° ahae soil 8} ey a3 e™Se 54 f) pil , iis) fea fy |< pital : S|: gfe Set HE zee ial tee oa 23 ghidi c g ge +e BF a i 84 .2 2° yoeet iene bok 3 355 I. s Bi< x Ete an 4 3P Ata sere : vageieds ; Z x g)iyeaue x md wae eX tis ftdaaal gas 3 z9 = ta Be. geese ae Ss: é =: weal 383?

WOULD PREVENT TRANSFER Committee Finds Church Trustees Unwilling to Withdraw Petitions To The Court. By a unanimous vote, the Common Council, last night passed an amended segregation ordinance which, if concurred in by the Board of Aldermen, and signed by the Mayor, will prevent the occupation of Immanuel Baptist Church, Fifth and Leigh Sts. by a colored congregation. The ordinance was passed after a discussion of more than an hour, precipited by a motion offered by President Peters, who had vacated the chair recommitting the measure for the purpose of affording the authorities of Immanuel Baptist Church an opportunity to appear before the Ordinance Committee and state the grounds of their opposition. Mr. Peters presented a communication signed by the board of trustees of the church and the pastor, Rev. W. T. Hall, asserting that the church authorities had been given no official notice that the ordinance was before the Council for consideration. It was Pointed out that the passage of the amended law would impose upon the church a hardship from which other kinds of property in the immediate vicinity are immune. On these grounds the church authorities asked for a recommittal and rehearing. CHURCH ONLY AWAITS CONFIRM MATION OF SALE. In the discussion which followed it was brought out that a contract for the sale of the church to a colored congregation has already been executed, and needs only the approval of the City Circuit Court to become effective. Judge K. Carter Scott, of this court, the Council was informed has set next Monday for a hearing on the application of the church trustees for an order authorizing the sale. Councilman Pollock, of Madison Ward, although holding the belief that the amendment to the segregation law was desirable, declared his willingness to vote for a recommitall if the ch reh authorities would officially bind themselves not to pursue their application in the City Circuit Court until the proposed amendment was definitely acted upon by the Council. He was not willing, he said, to recommit the ordinance if the trustees of the church would take advantage of the ensuing delay to secure from Judge Scott an order authorizing the sale before the amendment could be acted upon. COMMITTEE CONSULTS CHURCH AUTHORITIES Attorney, Iane Diggs, representing the church, and Rev. W. T. Hall as well as the three members of the board of trustees, were present in the Council Chamber, and Council man Seaton moved that the rules be suspended in order to permit Mr. Diggs to state to the Council whether or not the church authorities would give or withhold the assurance asked for. Councilman Rogers was opposed to establishing the precedent of permitting a nonmember to address the Council in regular session assembled, and moved a substitute that the chair declare a recess of five minutes, appointing a committee of five to confer with the church representation and report. The motion was carried. To the committee Mr. Diggs stated, after consultation with the board of trustees, that the church was unwilling to agree to postpone the court proceedings. The congregation of Immanuel Baptist, he told the committee was compelled because of the three, was compelled, because of the steady encroachment of negroes in the neighborhood, to sell the church. The order sought in the City Circuit Court, he said, was necessary whether the church was sold to white or colored persons, and the attempt to secure it will not be abandoned. DECLINE TO AWAIT ACTION OF COUNCIL Councilman Rogers, as chairman of the committee, reported to the Council that the church refused to hold up, the court proceedings until the Council acted upon the ordinance. The refusal of the church authorities to accept what the members regarded as a fair proposition was received by the body with evident resentment, and the feeling was reflected in the vote which followed. Mr. Peters, who had made the motion to recommit, withdrew it after commenting pointedly on the refusal of the church authorities to accept a fair offer. In submitting this offer, morsover, he pointed out, the Council had suspended the business of the body to grant a special conference—a procedure which, he said, was without precedent in his sixteen years as a member of the Council. The church had been given the option of taking their cause to the Council or to the court. If it was willing to abide by the judgment of the Council, he said, it should come before that body with clean hands, and not as an applicant for a court order authorizing a sale repugnant to the pending ordinance. With the motion to recommit, made by Councilman Peters, with drawn, Vice-President Ratcliffe, who was in the chair, called for a vote on the amended ordinance itself, and it was passed unanimously. The amended ordinance holds a street entering, but not interacting, another street, to be of the same effect as an intersecting street. Under this amendment the Fifth Street block between Leeds and Anson Streets would be a single block between parallel streets. So considered, the block would be white territory not subject to colored colonization. It is stated that President Adams will be asked to call a special meeting of the Board of Aldermen for tonight to concur in the amended ordinance. an enjoyable Summer. The A. M. E.

Orders signed within the month by Secretary Lane have opened to settlement and entry, under the enlarged homestead law, 3,60,00 acres of land in California, New Mexico, Colorado, and Washington. Under the enlarged homestead act lands in the West are examined by the Geological Survey to determine whether there is any available water supply by which they may be irrigated. If not, they become subject to entry by settlers in tracts of 320 acres each, as against the 160 acres under the original homestead law. Probably one of the best illustrations of America's opportunity to develop new industries is afforded by tin. The benefit which the United States may obtain from the present situation is the establishment of a tin smelter in this country in which to smelt Bolivian tin ore and such small, output of American ore as is produced. The tin concentrates produced last year in the United States were all shipped to British smelters. At the present time between 30,000 and 40,000 tons of tin concentrates, carrying, more than 20,000 tons of metallic tin, are shipped each year from Bolivia to Europe for smelting. The United States imported several times that amount, of metallic tin last year and would easily absorb all the tin smelted from the Bolivian ore. The smelting of Bolivian, ores presents no difficulties that American metallurgists can not readily overcome, and Bolivian ores will now be easier to buy. If ships can be found to carry the ore an opportunity seems to be presented for Americans to begin purchasing ores that have hitherto gone to Europe. PLATINUM PRODUCTION IN 1913. Although the high price of platinum encouraged prospecting in the United States in 1913, says David T. Day in an advance chapter from Mineral Resources, 1913, on the production of platinum and allied metals, now in press by the United States Geological Survey, the expected increase in the production of crude metal was not realised. The total production from California and Oregon, the two sources of platinum ore in this country, amounted to 452.87 ounces and was valued at $18,477. A comparable output of platinum is also obtained in the United States from the refining of gold and copper bullion. A portion of this platinum originated in old gold, ore, mine, mine by lumber and dentition. About the same amount, however, were derived in 1913 as new gold from old and newer bullion from diverse At 12 o'clock Midnight. THE PRIZES: THE PLANET, 311 N. 4th St., Richmond, Va.

The production of refined platinum in this country in 1913 from domestic sources was 1,034 troy ounces valued at $46,530 against 1,005 troy ounces valued at $45,778 in 1912. Russia has been the greatest producer of platinum in the world, the output of crude platinum in 1913 being 250,000 troy ounces. The value of platinum imported for consumption in the United States in 1913 was valued at $5,040,210 against $4,502,652 in 1912. In late years platinum has come into greater use in the jewelry trade, but this increased demand has been compensated for by the decreased use of the metal for electric light bulbs. Home Rule.
