VOLUME XXXI, NO. 48 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA; SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1914. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. Deal With Negro Methodist Congregation Practically Closed, Says Rev. W. T. Hall. Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch, Oct. 19, 1914.—By what was said to be a vote 72 to 1 the members of the congregation of Immanuel Baptist Church present at the business session yesterday morning ratified the action of the trustees in regard to the proposed sale of the building to the congregation of Leigh Street Methodist Church, colored. The one member opposing said that she could not understand why it had become necessary to sell the church. She declared that the Sunday school was in a flourishing condition; that the collections were ahead of the expenses and that the church had a bright future before it. She thought it was a terrible thing the church was doing, and not at all Christian. This is the third meeting of the kind, according to the pastor, Rev. William Thomas Hall, and was called to establish a reply to the statement made by four members in a petition to the Chancery Court not to authorize the sale that the majority of the congregation was opposed to the sale. In that paper it was also alleged that proper notice of the other meetings had not been given to the members. The call to the meeting yesterday was made by Mr. Hall In personal letters to every member of the congregation, mailed last week. SALE TO NEGROES HAS PRACTICALLY BEEN CONSUMMATED When seen in his study last night Mr. Hall said that the church was united in wishing to dispose of the building, though he admitted that a majority of the congregation was not present at the business session held after morning services. The total membership, he said, numbers 453 people. He said that it was not necessary to make public the results of the voting, and the statement that the vote stood 72 for and 1 against the sale of the church came from other sources. Mr. Hall wanted it understood, however, that there was absolute harmony in the congregation, and said that the sale of the property to the colored congregation had been practically consummated, though a petition is now before Judge R. Carter Scott for court authority to sell. The main reason for selling the church lies in the fact, said Mr. Hall, that the neighborhood is being encroached upon by negroes. Legally, however, under the amended segregation ordinance, signed by Mayor Alnalle on October 7, the church is in a white neighborhood, and may not be occupied by a colored congregation. It is believed, however, that property in the neighborhood is being gradually bought by negroes, and that the vicinity will soon be classed as a colored neighborhood. As a matter of fact it is said that even now there is a majority of nine negro families in that part of Fifth Street adjacent to the church property, though the majority of the houses are occupied by white people. NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS APPEAL TO COURT The proposed sale of the church has been agitated since Ju.y., when a meeting of the congregation decided in favor of selling. A subsequent meeting was held on September 27, when again the congregation decided that it was desirable to sell the property. Thereupon the trustees petitioned Judge Scott for authority to make the sale. Came, then an answering petition, signed by four members of the congregation—Mrs. Alice M. Burroughs, Mrs. S. S. Ellett, Mrs. E. R. Hill and Mrs. Lille Propet—declaring that due notice of the business meeting had not been given to the congregation and that the majority of the congregation was opposed to the sale. The respondents asked the court to order the trustees to open the church books to them, which was granted. A counter petition asking the court to rescind that part of its order which would make the books open to the public was then brought to Judge Scott by the trustees, and was denied. Mr. Hall mid last night that the books would be open to any member of the congregation, but that no person not a member of the congregation would be permitted to look at them. PETITION IS PENDING IN CITY CIRCUIT COURT. It is said that the chief opposition to the sale comes from residents in the neighborhood not members of unnamed Church, and a petition issued by a large number of them opposing the sale, has been filed with the courts in the case in the City Court. ember 3. Attorney Isaac Diggs is representing the trustees, and the firm of Page & Leary is representing the respondent plaintiffs. It is stated by members of the congregation that the sale to the negro-congregation has been agreed upon at $20,500, including organ and furnishings, while the trustees are said to have arranged to purchase the present property of Calvary, Baptist Church, at Pine and Grace Streets, for $22,000, Calvary Church has started construction of a new building at Grove Avenue and the Boulevard, and in making the sale is said to have reserved the organ and church furniture.

Committee ANDREW M. BUSH DEAD. --- Prominent In Business For 28 years In New Bedford, Mass. Established Firm of A. M. Bush and Company on William Street, dissolving partnership in 1913—was High Mason and worker for equal rights for colored Republicans. New Bedford Standard, Sept. 20;15 Andrew M. Bush, for 28 years a prominent New Bedford business man and founder of the old firm of A. M. Bush and Co., on William street, died at 76 Rotch street at 10:25 o'clock Friday morning. He was ill about a month, but his illness did not become serious until two days ago. He was a high Mason, and past grand master of Prince Hall Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M; 26 YEARS OLD Andrew M. Bush was born in Washington, D. C. 76 years ago. He came to this city to live when 12 years old. We came to know Andrew M. Bush, whose death we mourn, in his later years and in the cause of defense of rights. The Colored American class is shown up as inferior in quality in nothing more than the feeling of the few who make money that they are "it," and the unwillingness to contribute freely, or at all, to the work of struggling against the taking away of citizenship rights. They lack the moral and mental calibre, so often, to either be public spirited, or to realize that in helping this cause they are helping themselves and their children. Andrew M. Bush was one of our successful Colored business men who was like such men in every other race that is white. He gave of his means to pay for the fight other colored men were making. He is a real loss. RALLY DAY SHARON BABT CH. Sunday, Oct. 25th. The following Divines will presch 11:00 A.M. M. Rev. L. R. Preyzer, 3.00 P. M. Rev. William Thomas, 3:00 P. M. Rev. E. D. Lewis, B. D. AN AGED COLORED MAN'S VOCABULARY FREES HIM FROM THE TOILS OF JUSTICE Philadelphia, Pa. Oct. 13, 1914 Yo who would dodge the iron bars down in a dungeon deep. And care not if the founders of the English language weep. Approach the lordly magistrate and take him by surprise. And hit him with "fizzzitate" and look extremely wine. The language of Joseph Marshall an aged Colored man, of Spruce and Warnock streets gave Magistrate Tracy considerable unbusiness Monday morning. Marshall who was accused of getting a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread under suspicious circumstances was finally discharged so that the court at the 15th, and Vine streets station could continue. I was fizzasticated, judged," said Marshall in the course of an unduly extended speech. "If I misappropriated the provisions, the annexation was attributable to temporary aberration of the intellect." Asked to explain what he meant by, "fizzasticated" Marshall looked dubious for a moment, so did the policemen who were attracted by his flow of language. "I'll make it more apparent," said Marshall. "I was sort of dozing near one of those gas plates in the side-walk of the public thoroughfare and the gas emanating from the aperture just sort of fizzasticated" me I finally aroused myself and found that somehow I had become inadvertently attached to the bottle of milk and loaf of bread. I was just examining it when the guardian of the law introduced himself to me and took me here for this explanation." But this is as far as Marshall got. "You can continue that the next time you're brought here," said Magistrate Tracy. "You bother go home and run for Congress." And Marshall went. Messrs Harry Johnson, Jacob Parr and Robert Montgomery, employees of the late Francis T. S. Darley of 510 S. Broad Street, were very jubilant over the fact that he left them $1000, each in his will, which went to probate Monday. The Home for Aged and Inform Colored People was also remembered. The new $50,000 Church St. Catherine of Slenna, at Penn and King streets, erected for the use of Negro Catholics of that part of the city, also a memorial to the late Arch- bishop Ryan, was dedicated on Sunday morning when a solemn High Mass was celebrated by Roy, Patrick McHale. The dedication and blessing was done by Archbishop Prendergast. A feature of the services was the singing of the Mass by a Negro choir of 25 voices, Prof. Edward Monck Choir-master, Monzirnor Charles F. Kavanagh, chancellor of the Dlocese, preached the sermon. It is a beautiful building, 92 feet long, 42 feet wide, beside two one story wings devoted to the sacristies. The building resembles the old Spanish Mission. The walls are of white plaster on stone and the roof is reddled. A campanile graces the front. The ornamental features are of Byzantine. The congregation is quite large and appreciated the event very much. A round table conference on "The Present (and Future of the Negro in Philadelphia)" was held on Monday, Oct. 12th, at the Durham School, 16th, and Lombard Streets, J. Bruce Byall, of the Children's Bureau presided. The following articles were discussed "Private Education," by William B. Buck; of the Seyhert Institute, "Public. Education," by J. R. Paul Brock, principal of the Durham School, "Housing," by Dr. H. R. M. Landis, of the Phipps Institute, "Industrial and Economic Conditions," by A. L. Manly, secretary of the Industrial Department of The Armstrong Association. The attendance was large, and the discussions of the various topics were very much enjoyed with a timely interest that bespeaks much good. CARD OF THANKS Mrs. Lula B.

Some were in Richmond, and others in Philadelphia, Editor. of the Richmond Planet Bar Please allow me, space in your valuable paper to express my self-regarding your editorial in the issue of Sept. the 19th, under the caption "Unbearable Conditions." It may seem to sore that I am running a cold trail to have waited so long and yet ever since I read said article I have been so deeply impressed until I am unable to restrain myself further. I think each race loving Negro ought to feel keenly touched for without a doubt, you have made a picture that to say the least, is certainly awful. You closed by asking, "What should be done?" Will you pardon me if I attempt to offer a few suggestions on so big a problem! First of all I think we as a people should go to a Throne of Grace and get orders from the King of the Universe. After which I think we should rise from our knees and act in obedience to said orders. As a rule we take it all out in praying and expect the Lord to do for us those things, he has told us to do for ourselves. We are as a race too much divided in sentiment. One crowd goes up to those in power and asks for better treatment, another crowd stays at home and says we are satisfied, and as long as we are thus divided, I think we shall never get what we wish. Christ has said "That a kingdom divided against itself shall be brought to desolation." Now I think we ought to care more for the general welfare of the race, and not be satisfied to see our neighbor suffer wrong without being in a measure affected. But as you say each fellow seems perfectly contented until he himself is pinched. I suggest that in order to cultivate a stronger sentiment that we so to it that the Negroes in this state as a whole read some one of the Negro news papers, and as a result the Negroes in one part of the State will know what they in the other part mean that we discontinue reading other Negro papers but I do mean that we ought to have a paper as an official mouthpiece of the Negroes of Virginia, and all or as many as possible read paper. As an example, take the recent contest between the wet and dry forces of Virginia. Each side was well, organized and each side saw to it that the people read some official paper representing their cause. I feel that we shall never get much consideration until we prepare and exercise the right of voting. Then we shall be in a position to help to say who shall make laws for us, our friends or our enemies. And when a man comes out for office who seeks popularity by putting the Negro down, we can join with our God Fearing white friends, and we have many) and see to it that such a man stays at home. I think this the only means of obtaining relief from the present conditions. Most any Negro who is able to read and write can by a little study prepare and register, and he should do so at once. The hallot being our only means of defense. Listening to a speech delivered from the stage at the Central Fair Association by a white gentleman from S. C. he said the Negroes in S. C. got along all right. All who attended to their own business. But the only question is to decide what the Negroes' business is. For our part it seems that the more we attend to our own business the less business we have to attend. So we had as well decide to help to run the business. Now let us first start a big reading campaign, and let this be confined to some one Negro paper, which paper is to strive to make sentiment in favor of the Negroes in all parts of this State, getting himself on the list and thus we shall hold the balance of power. Some of our people especially some of our preachers seem to be inclined to let God fight our battles, but if we are to take the Apostle Paul for an example he never failed to make much of his right as a citizen, and when conditions got so unbearable he appealed to Caesar. Dr. B. T. Washington has recently suggested that each family raise an additional pig. I suggest in addition to that that each family subscribe to and read some one Negro paper. I would say The Richmond Planet, since the Planet has fought so many battles for the Negro in the past. If we don't make some concerted effort, and that soon at the rate things are moving, there will soon be a law passed that a Negro shall not raise a pig unless he be so and so, and you will know the rest. This may sound like foolishness, but 20 years ago had some one told you that a man could own a house and lot and pay taxes on it and yet could not occupy it, this would have sounded strange also. Find my check enclosed for $1.50 one year's subscription to the Planet. I shall rejoice to see some one come forward with a better plan. But we should do something and better grow late than not at all. At Claremont Va. Nov. 13th, 1914. As a result of President J. R. Pollard's recent trip to New Jersey where he was with the Bower T.

WITH one tremendous leap Jack Doogan gained the door to the front hall and the next moment he was engaged in a fierce hand to hand battle with Casey, who had been watching him and was after him almost before he had got outside the door. Before Mrs. Carr realized just what had happened Casey led Doogan, back and held him in front of the sergeant. "No you're a detective, are you?" answered the latter. "Keep him in charge. Casey. Who did he say he was?" "He said his name was Doogan," replied Cluney. "But here's his card with another name on it." He handed the card to the sergeant, who read it at a glance and explained: "Joe Thompson! Why. Joe is one of our best plain clothes men. This fellow is a crook." "I didn't say my name was Doogan, did I? demanded Jack Doogan of Clinney. "I only said you could call me that. Wasn't that it?" "Oh, this is all puffier! interrupted the sergeant. "I've heard this kind of talk before. You have been trying to make out you are Lieutenant Joseph Thompson, and now you are caught with the goods. Bee?" "Did I understand you to say Mr. Doogan is a crook?" asked Mrs. Carr, putting her car trumpet in the sergeant's face. "I don't quite understand." "Yes, mundam, that's what I said. When I say crook I mean that he is a thief. Most likely we shall find his finger prints and mug in the gallery at headquarters when we look him up." "Not in a thousand years!" broke out Doogan defensively. "And, what's more, I sneeze you for false arrest as soon as I can get to my lawyer's office." "Don't you think you've made a mistake?" asked Joan, who had taken rather a liking to the smooth spoken skylight good tempered Doogan. "I can't believe that he is anything but a gentleman." "Thank you, miss," said Doogan similarly. "There are many things a young lady like you couldn't believe that we policemen know is so," observed the sergeant. "Hold on to him, Casey." "I've got him," returned the matter of fact and stolid Casey. There was a ring at the front door, and the sergeant turned to Clancey, directing him to see who was there, after assuring himself that Casey had a secure hold on Doogan. In another moment Clancey came back, ushering in the person who had rung the bell. This person was a stout man with a red face and white eyelashes, and be wore a brown business suit. He was Lieutenant Joseph Thompson, who on his own authority was "the last detective in Greater New York." He looked at the sergeant in some surprise and then hailed him: "Hello, sergeant!" "Hello, Joe. We were just speaking of you." returped the sergeant, with a triumphant grin at Jact Doogan. "Hay, Joe," said the sergeant, "have you been here before today?" "Yes; twice." "I thought so," nodded the sergeant. "Some pretty slick people here, Joe." "They told me not to come back till 9 o'clock." "Who told you?" "Him," answered Lieutenant Thompson, pointing to Doogan. "This fellow! Well." "I got to think about this case and about him, and it seemed to me as if his face was a little familiar. I couldn't quite remember, but I was sure that I'd seen him somewhere. So to help me to place him I thought I'd just run in and take another peep at him. It was in my nut somehow that he was not on the level if he was the man I thought he was." "Why, you never saw me in your life before, you dub!" broke in Jack Doogan scornfully. "He said his name was Cluney." "Why, my name is Cluney," put in that individual. "I didn't tell you to come back, did I? Everybody looked at Cluney in surprise, but the truth was that he could not be sure whether he had seen Thompson and told him to come back at 9 o'clock or not. Mr. Cluney had no faith in himself at all just then. "Is your name Cluney?" asked Thompson. "No; you're not the guy I saw here. This is the bird," he added, indicating Doogan. "Who is he, sergeant? "He's a crook, Joe. That's what he is." "Sure!" "Sure." "Well, well! Where's the gal he works with?" "Oh, does he work with a girl?" asked the sergeant, much intertwined, as he glanced about and looked at Joan, Madge and Caroline sharply in turn. "Sure he does—the maid." "The mild," exclaimed Mrs. Carr and her three daughters in unison. "Where is she, Caroline?" added Mrs. Carr. "I'll go and see," said Caroline, going to the rear hall door and disappearing in the direction of the kitchen. "They both fooled me," admitted Thompson. "Well, what next?" muttered William Carr. "Look here, Thompson," said the sergeant briskly. "I think we'll clear up this mystery in a minute now. Where's the mild?" "She's gone," announced Caroline, who had returned in time to hear the question. "Gone?" crieled Mrs. Carr. "Hag and baggage!" replied Caroline. "She must have slipped out by way of the basement door." "Thank God!" murmured Jack Doogan. But Jack Doogan's gratitude to Providence was premature. O'Malley, who had been at the front door, came into the room, dragging Nell by her wrist. He dung the weeping and terrified girl into the very hands of the sergeant with an avague. "Get in here, you!" Doogan made a desperate effort to break away from Casey, but the police man had him in a firm grip and, giving him a shake, growled. "Stand still, will you, or I'll hand you one with my jilly." "Everybody has got to stay in this room!" shouted O'Malley. "Hold 'em all, sergeant!" "I'm going to!" replied the sergeant. "You named her, did you, O'Malley? How did you to it?" "Got her just as she was making a getaway in a taxi. I had my suspicions and I was watching. I brought the trunk back too." "They've got us, Jack!" cried the girl pitifully. "Never mind. Nell. It's all right! Don't you worry?" was his reply. But there was hopefulness in his tone, although it was all on her account, without any consideration for himself. "You say there was a trunk, O'Malley?" said the sergeant. "Bring it in here." "All right! O'Brien has it out in the hall," explained O'Malley. Then, going to the door, he called out. "O'Brien, bring in that trunk into this room." "What for? Shouted Doogan, still full of fight. "What are you dragging this young lady's trunk about for? It's her own. I can answer for that." "Oh, you can, eh?" angrily the sergeant, with a mocking smile. "That's very good-of you. But I guess we'll take a look at it anyhow. Where is it, O'Malley?" O'Brien, a policeman bigger and brawnier than any of the others, carried a steamer trunk into the room on his shoulder and put it down in front of the sergeant. "My steamer trunk!" cried Joan. "Oh, myl I hope my things are in it all safe!" "I guess they are, miss," the sergeant assured her. "She hasn't had a chance to get anything away, you see." There was a general hubbub of excited voices as Mr. and Mrs. Carr and their three daughters surrounded the trunk, and Cluney and Willoughby looked on. "Now, then," went on the sergeant, giving Noll's arm another pull. "What have you got on you? Come on! Give me!" Neil deliberately turned her back to the sergeant as he let go of her arm. She looked inquiringly at Doogan, who replied, "Yes," in the unspoken language of the eyes and nodded slightly. Very slowly she took from some part of her clothing a small roll of banknotes and held them out to the sergeant. He snatched them from her with a triumphant grunt. "Where did you get this money?" he demanded. "In the linen closet." "In the linen closet?" exclaimed Madge Carr. "Why, that is my money." "How much was there?" asked the sergeant as he counted it and then run over it again. "Four $1,000 bills," answered Madge. "That's right! Here you are. I'd advise you to find some easier place for "I don't know what to do with it," said Madge, as she took the notes. "Oh James," she continued to Cluney, "she stole my money; You take care of it, dear." But James Cluney hastily put his hands behind his back, as if he were afraid to touch it while the kleptomanical impulse might be on him, and gave vent to a most emphatic "No!" "Thompson!" "Yes, sergeant!" responded Thompson, turning away from Jack Doogan reluctantly. "Do you know either of these people?" "I don't know. I can't remember that I ever saw the girl before until I came into this house. But I'm pretty sure I've run against the man somewhere." Thompson was looking at Neil reflectively, when suddenly it uttered a growl of surprise and snatched at the end of a gold chain hanging from the front of her dress whence she had brought forth the four $1,000 bills that belonged to Madge Carr. Jack Doogan made another attempts to get away from Casley as he saw Thompson put out his band to Nell, but Thompson also helped the scientist police hold of his cantor. "Buffering Mikel" be yelled. "She had my watch" "Where did you get it?" demanded the sergeant, turning directly on Nell. Nell was silent, but again Jack Doogan motioned to her to tell. "A friend gave it to me," she answered finally. "What friend's Come on, now! Out with it! Did this man Doogan give it to you?" Nell looked appealingly at Doogan, as if to ask him what she was to reply, and he relieved her embarrassment by speaking for her. "Yes, I gave it to her," he snapped out. "What of it?" "I found that watch in the subway Just night at the Grand Central station, and I gave it to this young lady to return it to the person who had lost it—if she could find him. If you're the man, all right. But I hate to see a chump like you with a watch worth $500 or $600." William Carr, who had recognized the detective as soon as he entered as the man who had given him so much annoyance at the Grand Central the night before, kept discreetly in the background, and Thompson had not yet caught sight of his face. Now, however, as Thompson moved away from the girl, delighted over the recovery of his watch, he started as he heard William Carr say in an eager tone that he recalled instantly: "That man has $1,000 belonging to me." "The old guy I nearly pinched as the professor," muttered Thompson. "I hope he won't know me again." "You say he's got $1,000 of your money?" The sergeant fired this query at William Carr as directly as if he were charging him with theft. "You, sir." "How did he get it?" "He was putting it for me." "Erick him, Casey?" was the net genius's brief command. And Casey turned Jack Doogan's pockets inside out with professional celerity. "I'm engaged to be married to him." "Engaged. oh?" echoed the sergeant, obviously taken a little aback. "Well what has he got, Casey? You needn't hold him. He can't get away." Casey held out a heavy automatic revolver and two $500 bills. The sergeant took the money and remarked with a scowl at Jack Doogan: "So you're carrying a gun, are you? We can hold you for a violation of the Sullivan law against carrying concealed weapons, anyhow. Take care of that gun, Casey." Casey put the revolver in his pocket and forced his way between Jack Doogan and Nell, regardless of Doogan's threat to "knock his block off." "Here's your money, sir," said the sergeant, handling the two $500 bills to William Carr, and the latter thanked him without emotion. "One moment, sergeant," interposed Mrs. Carr. "Please ask him how my daughter got this diamond sunburst." She held it up as she spoke. "Who do you mean? Your husband?" "No, of course not. This Mr. Doogan. "You hear that, Doogan. How was it?" "I just slipped her a little wedding present when she wasn't looking." was the reply, with an amused grin. THERE was a bustle at the front door and the tramp of heavy feet hurrying along the hall. Then Douglas Jamison projected himself into the room, red faced and puffing, as he shouted: "I've got it, sergent! I've got it! Here it is!" "What? What have you got?" "The new warrant," replied Jamison breathlessly, handing the paper to the sergent. "Now go ahead and serve it." "Don't get excited," returned the sergent coolly as he placed the bundle of steel stocks in Jamison's hand. "Here are your securities." "What! Lord, I'm glad to get them! Where were they?" "In the safe." "What!" bellowed Jamison incredulously. "How can that be? Why, that safe—" "Just keep quiet a second, will you? We're clearing up a little mystery here." "You are! Well, go ahead. I don't care so long as I have my steel stocks. I may be in time yet." "Well, but, ummison," put in William Qart, "when am I to get my money for those securities" "I don't know anything about it." replied Jamison in an offhand manner. "Under the drownings I am not responsible. I lost my money here in your house." The sergeant turned sharply to Neil. "What did you do, with his money?" "She doesn't know anything about it" broke in Doogan. "I got that." "Where is it, then?" barked the sergeant. "In the minister's pocket," replied Doogan coolly. There was a general burst of surprise from everybody except the policemen—whom nothing in the way of underworld tricks could surprise—and Doogan and Neil. Doogan's lips twitched as if he were stifling a smile of amusement, while Neil kept her eyes on her lover, trying to learn from him what should be their next move. "The minister's pocket, eh? observed the sergeant. "Insey, you'd better— No, never mind." "My pocket!" aquainted Mr. Spolain. "Oh, good gracious! impossible!" But as he uttered this exclamation he put his hand in his pocket and brought out the roll of bills, which he held up with the tips of his fingers as if he were afraid of becoming tainted by the contact. "Go and get it, Mr. Jamison," advised the sergeant: Douglas Jamison took the roll of banknotes from Mr. Spolain's nervous fingers and passed it over to William Carr. Mrs. Carr stepped up to her husband, saying, "Give it to me, dear, before you lose it." and he reinquished the money to her as if he were glad to get it out of his hands. "Ladies," said the sergeant, "how did this girl get into the house?" "I see. Now, little pench bloomsth, to Nell, who tossed her head scornfully at this cumbersome pleasantry, "you are under arrest." "What for? asked Nell. "Is there any charge against me?" "There will be one, don't fear. Hero O'Malley, take her away, and if she doesn't behave herself put the handcuffs on her." As the sergeant gave this order he seemed to take a number delight in the quick expression of pain that passed across Jack Doogan's countenance, for the sergeant had no mercy on crooks of either sex. "Yes, sir," responded O'Malley as he moved toward Nell. But before he could reach her things happened fast which prevented his doing so. Jack Doogan had been bracing himself for a desperate attempt, which would either give him liberty or make it worse for him than ever. As O'Malley stepped forward Caeser's attention was momentarily diverted to him and away from his prisoner. This was the instant on which Jack Doogan had counted. He snatched the revolver out of Caeser's hand, tripping him at the same time. Then he jumped over the sofa and dragged the sofa with him to the door leading to the front hall, using the sofa as a barrier. Down he went on one knee behind the sofa, and pointing the automatic revolver at every one in the room with a sweeping motion that made the weapon soon equal in potency to a dozen revolvers, he thundered: "Hands up!" The hands of everybody in the room went up in the air, those of the sergeant going higher than any of the others. Even the delicate white hands of Mrs. Carr and her three daughters were elevated. "Now," went on Doogan in steady tones that conveyed a deadly purpose. 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. "Hands up!" thundered Deegan. He looked about him to make sure that none of the policemen had failed to obey his order and called out: "Neil, come here!" "But Jack!" she began as she went over to the sofa behind which he was intrenched. "Never mind about talking. Take it on the run!" he interrupted. "But, Jack!" she expostulated. "we can't both make it, and I won't leave you here!" "Go on, Neil!" he cried impatiently. "I know what I'm doing. Best it, I tell you!" He watched her as she glided away through the rear doorway, and he knew she had reached the kitchen stairs. Then he fastened his gaze on the servant, while his pistol waved slowly from side to side, although he addressed everybody in general as: "I said distinctly: "You people will do everything that missing in that trunk and the cuit case. As for you cope, let me tell you something. All I want is five minutes' start, and you'll never see us in New York again. We're ready to blow the town, and God help the guy who tries to stop us, for I am a good shot, and I'm desperate! Understand?" As he uttered the last word in a defiant shout he dashed to the door by which Nell had gone out, darted through and slammed the door after him. For a few moments everybody in the library remained as Jack Doogan had left them, with their hands in the air. Then as they realized that he really hated the sergeant swore a great oath and dropped his hands. "Hurry up, men! Whip them out!" roared the sergeant as he shoved the sofa out of the way. "Are you all ready?" The policemen all rushed the door together, and down it went with a ? His Pistol Was Still In His Hand. crash. The officers tumbled through the opening in a heap and scuttled down the stairs. It was rather dark there, after coming out of the well lighted library, and they lauded at the bottom in a profane heap, with the sergeant underneath. As he extricated himself, in a frenzy of wrath, he beloowed, "Blow your whistles, you fellows!" And away they dashed through the kitchen to the outer basement door, which was also locked and which they demolished, as they had the other door above. Meanwhile James Cluney, who seemed to have forgotten his supposed kleptomanical aliment in the excitement of the last few moments and somewhat reassured by the confession of Jack Doogan, went over to Midge and put his arm around her protectively. They all went out. Dr. Willoughby closing the door behind them, although he was firmly resolved to get back and see the rest of the fun so soon, as he should have the ladies settled down in the drawing room, where they could not hear whatever row there might be in the library. For about half a minute the library was empty. The noise of the policemen tumbling down the stairs and rampaging through the kitchen regions had ceased, and there was a stillness like that which often precedes a fierce outbreak of the elements in the country. Suddenly Jack Doogan tipped into the room from the front hallway. His pistol was still in his hand, and as he glared about him there could be no doubt that he was prepared to shoot his way to liberty through any opposition he might encounter. He beckoned to some one outside as soon as he had assured himself that the room was empty, and Nell came in and stood by his side. "All right, Nell!" he whispered hoarsely. "I think we allipped them. We were inside the front door before they came up from the basement, and the last I saw of them they were tearing down Seventy-second street to Riverside drive." "Yes, that's the way they went. Jack. I saw them too." She giggled half horrifically. "My, how they were running! And the wrong way too! It was funny, Jack." "I only hope they won't be able to stop till they dive into the Hudson river," he responded grimly. "Take another peep from behind the door, Nell. As soon as they are out of sight we'll beat it ourselves." "And everybody is running after them, crying 'Stop thief!'" "Straight down the street, while we are comfortably indoors. It isn't hard to fool a bunch of copa." "Jack!" "Well" "Jack," she murmured. "they're aboutting 'Stop thief!'" "Of course they are. That's their battlecry. You told me that before, although it wasn't necessary. I knew." "I know, dear. And the worst of it is that they mean us." "You bet they do. Look out there and see if they are gone." "In a moment, dear. I just wanted to ask you something." "Go ahead." "You haven't forgotten that you promised me no one else would have an excuse to cry 'Stop thief' after us when we have finished this job!" "Why, haven't I told you!" "I know; I know, Jack! But it has turned out differently from what we expected. You have not made any thing on this trick!" "Not a red cent!' interjected Deegan regretfully. "Then I thought—I feared—that you might want to try it again. You said you needed a seat to get married on, and, as we'd missed it this time, I didn't know what you might do." "Hell," he said, "when I told you this was out but I meant every word of it. I didn't copper my but. It was to be the last, win or lose, and that's what it. In it. We get out of this, and I'll show you that I can be as agony- as any guy that never put himself in wrong with the police. Get that? She held up her face to him, and he kissed her as she murmured with a happy smile: "Yes, I got that, Jack, and I know it's straight." A man in some sort of uniform which Jack Doogan thought at first was that of a policeman came in from the front ball and advanced on him. Jack Doogan's automatic revolver was pointed at the newcomer's stomach in a flash, accompanied by the force order: "Stick up your hands!" The man obeyed, with wonderment as well, as terror expressed in his white face. "He's nil right, Jack!" interrupted Nell hurriedly. "He's the chauffeur with my text. The cab is round the corner." Doogan dropped the muzzle of his pistol as he remarked, with a warning shake of the head: "It's a pity you taxi man look so much like copa. That cap of yours fooled me. Now, get that trunk on your back and drive us to the Grand Central station as quick as the Lord will let you." "All right, boss," answered the chauffeur. "I'm on." As the man picked up the trunk and stepped into the hall on his way to the front door Jack Doogan grinned and said to Nell in a low tone: "See, Nell! It isn't as bad as you thought. We aren't going to lose on this trick after all. Bring the suit case. I'll watch this fellow. I reckon he's all right, but I'm not taking chances." Doogan was following the chauffeur, and Nell had stopped to pick up the suit case from the door when William Carr and the minister came in from the rear stairs as Mrs. Carr. Midge and Caroline entered from the door heading from the drawing room. Nell put down the suit case and looked about her with the hunted gaze of a cornered animal. She would have run out to the front door after Jack Doogan, but Dr. Willoughby and Cluney had come in behind Madge, Caroline and their mother and were in front of the only available exit. "Why, there she is!" exclaimed Mr. Spelain. "There's the maid! How did she get here?" Dr. Willoughby walked in front of the girl and eyed her eternally; then, as he took the suit case from her, he demanded: "Where's your pal?" Nell closed her pretty mouth tightly, and her gray eyes flashed unmistakable defiance. "Why don't you speak?" put in William Carr in an injured tone. "Come on, now," admonished Cluney. "Which way did he go?" Nell remained obstinately silent, and once more Mr. Carr wanted to know why she didn't answer, but got no reply. Mrs. Carr sailed over to Nell in her greatest manner and, adjusting her ear trumpet with a flourish, took her in hand with a majestic: "Now, my girl, you might as well tell the truth." Nell took no notice of this, but her head went up in a distressing attitude, as she thought she heard Jack Doogan's voice calling to her. The next instant she was sure of it. He was speaking her name in a low, cautious gaze, but one which carried noverthe-less: "Nellie! Nellie!" "Let's take her to the police station," advised Dr. Woolbygh. "What is the good of wasting time on her?" The doctor had Nell by the arm and was leading her to the door, followed by the others in the room, when Jack Doogan appeared in the doorway, his face flushed, his eyes blazing and the automatic revolver still ready for action. "Take your hands off that girl!" he ordered. And, as the revolver was pointed directly at his midriff, Dr. Willoughby thought it well to obey without parley. "That's right. Come here. Noelle," added Doogan. "Now, look here! I know you are a couple of thieves." announced James Cluney, "and I'm going to take you to the police station." "Like mishief, you are!" aborted Jack Doogan. "SEE here." put in Dr. Willoughby. "Do you mean to say you think you can rob this house and then get away?" "That's exactly what I mean." "It's ridiculous!" declared Cluney, with a scornful laugh, which Madge echoed with a silvery griggle. "It can't be done." "Think it's ridiculous, do you?" rejoined Jack Doogan with a smile of confidence. "Well, I'll tell you something more ridiculous. You are going to help us." "We are?" exclaimed Cluney. "I like his nerve." "Write a moment. Mr. Cluney. I've got something to say to you." "To me?" said James Cluney, backing away as if he objected to being singled out for a heart to heart talk with this desperate man, who seemed to be so bandy with the revolver. "That's what I said." "Well, what do you want to say to me now?" "Just this, Mr. Cluney. I helped you, didn't I?" "Did you, though?" "Who stole the ear trumpet and the diamond bracelet?" "I don't know," mumbled Cluney. "That's just it," rejoined Jack Doogan with a grin of meaning that had a very unpleasant effect on James Cluney's nerves. "You don't know." "What do you mean?" Dr. Willoughby demanded. "I mean," said Doogan deliberately as he looked at Cluney and then turned his eyes on William Carr for a moment before bringing them back to Cluney. "I mean that these two men are a couple of self confessed kleptomaniaca." "Mr. Doogan, for heaven's sake, remember your promise," behesched Mrs. Carr. "That's just what I am trying to do." said Jack. "But don't you me, madam, that if you get the police back here it will mean a scandal for you? If you dug me to the police court, do you think I'm going to keep my mouth shut while her liberty is at stake?" He stopped and drew his arm carelessly around Nell's shoulders. There was a choke in his voice and a mistiness in his eyes. } "Why, she's all I've got in the world," he went on. "Think for a minute what that means to a man like me, who has been fighting for what he wanted ever since he was a little kid. And I tell you that I'd be and steal and fight and die for her!" "This was to be our last trick," added Nell simply as she looked into the curious faces about her. "We were going to live straight after today—Jack and I." "Yes," and Doogan, looking down at her tenderly. "We were going to be married today." Mrs. Carr was visibly impressed by Jack Doogan's plea and by the fact that beyond question he was unselfishly in love with the pretty lady's maid. Beatrice this, she realized that if she meant to hide from the world any longer the unfortunate weakness of her absendminded husband for appropriating, other people's property it would be well to make a compromise with this candid thief. "You were going to be married today?" she asked at last as if she did not quite understand. It was on the tip of the good lady's tongue to add, "I didn't know people of your sort generally troubled about getting married." "Perhaps you don't understand, man," returned Jack Doogan, "or maybe you've forgotten. You're not so young as you were, you know—" Mrs. Carr sniffed—and it's likely you've forgotten how you felt when you got hitched up to him," pointing to William Carr. "No you were going to be married today, were you, Doogan?" put in James Cluney suddenly. "That's curious, I was going to be married too." "I know you were. Very well, then. You ought to see that my proposition is all right. Come on. Let's make an even break. If you get the police back here, what will it get you? A lot of newspaper notoriety. What will it get us—this girl I love, this little girl, who is an good as gold from her heart outward and from her honest eyes back into her soul? What will it get us, I say? Why, ten years in the penitentiary." Nell shivered, and Joan cast her eyes upon the mold sympathizing as she murmured: "Ten years in prison! A living death." "I can't interfere. The girl's a thief," said Mrs. Carr. There was silence for a few moments, during which Jack Doogan touched Nell's soft check caressingly with the back of his hand and whispered to her not to give up. He wouldn't have done it himself, and if he could have stopped Nell before she started forward and firing herself on her knees at Mrs. Carr's feet he would have held her back at any risk. But he was too late. Nell was there with her white hands raised in supplication, as she said pititiously: "Mrs. Carr, give us a chance. He was going to turn agitated for me, just as he says. He is Straight at heart, and he never would have done a crookel thing again as long as he lived. Neither would I. For Gods sake, Mrs. Carr, give us this one chance." "This is awful! William, what can I say?" She took her husband's arm and moved away from the kneeling girl, shruking her head, while William Carr tried to assemble his vigorous thoughts into some sort of order, but made an exceedingly bad job of the operation. Jack Doogan shrugged his shoulders as he watched them. "Don't knuckle down to these dubs, Nell," he whispered. "You don't have to do it. I'm going to get us both out of here. That's a clinch." As he scathed her and noted the expression of confidence and hope in her pliant face he assumed a jaunty air. "Come on, Mr. Cluney. Don't be a claim. Be a lot of regular fellows, you and your pals. The family isn't lost anything. Their trunk is on a taxi right around the corner waiting for somebody to go and claim it, and I'll tell you something that will make you all feel good:" "What is it?" "Just this--you guys didn't steal a thing--nothing at all. You think you did, but you didn't." "I don't see what you mean exactly," confessed James Clinney, passing his hand across his forehead, a favorite movement of his since he had been so sure he was a kleptomanic. "I haven't the finest idea of what you're driving at," added Dr. Willoughby. "I never supposed I had stolen anything, and the others who may have picked up anything certainly did not do it with any criminal intent. It was a mistake." Jack Doogan gave vent to a loud, mocking laugh. Everybody turned and looked at him indignantly. "A mistake, eb?" he chuckled. "Why, doc, that's one of the oldest, thinnest excuse you ever hear in a courtroom. Of course it was a mistake. And there are more than 2,000 guys with short hair wearing dark gray clothes up in Sing Sing who made just that sort of mistake some time or other. Mistake? Ha, ha, ha." "You say that none of us stole anything in this house," said Dr. Willoughby, breaking into Jack Doogan's laughter. "Will you kindly explain what you mean by that?" "Sure I will. I stole all that stuff myself and planted it on you fallows. It was a cinch." "According to what you say," observed Cluney, pulling himself together, "I'm not a kleptomanic." "Kleptomanic nothing!" was Jack Doogan's disdainful reply. "Mavens! I just told you!" "Then, of course, I'm grateful. Desgam. And I should like to help you if I could. But if you're a shred, wig—" "Ah! Cut that out! I haven't cut out a nickel's worth in this life, but you all know it. That way, you all know it."

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1914 If you live right, you die the same way. Many people talk religion, but few of them practice it Life beyond the grave is promised both the last and the unjust Drill your children in politeness and train them to have good manners. Death is but falling asleep, but who wants to fall into that kind of sleep. Every body talks about heaven and nobody is anxious to go there now. Concept is a trait of character that is ruining many a good man and woman. Colored folks, buy land and improve your educational and financial condition. To know a thing is one phase of the question and to know you know it is quite another. Our grave-yards are filling up over here and other folks trenches are filling up in Europe. --- When a person is overfond of ex- travagant praise, they are enterin the gate to sure destruction Make friends with your white neighbor by deserving their friendship and you need not sacrifice your manhood in so doing either. --- If you make ten cents, save two cents of it and spend the remainder if you desire. This habit will cause you to have money and property in old age. ```markdown ``` It is said that Hell is paved with good intentions and we are beginning to believe that thing too. You know we can believe it without going there to find out. --- If we could unload the lawless dissolute element and send them to China, the race would be benefited and the hardworking colored people breathe a sigh of relief A person who publishes a newspaper is a candidate both for the poor-house and the lunatic anylum. If he stays in the business long enough, he is not particular as to which place finally secures his person. ```markdown ``` Some people believe that true happiness is to be found at the gambling resort and on the dance-hall floor. They do not realize their mistake until disease overtakes them and they are compelled to ask charly from an indulgent public. It is better to die and leave some- thing behind you for others than die an- and leave a legacy of debts for your large posteri- to pay. Then your credit- ors will be shedding tears over your the grave and cursing the ill-luck that took you away before you paid them. We have received the Western Equatorial Africa Doccasan Magazine for September. It contains a most interesting historical sketch of Liberia by Mr. Justice T. McCants Stewart of the Liberian Supreme Court and will richly repay a perusal. His Honor writes with all of the forvid interest and, pleasing imagery of twenty years ago. May he live long and continue to prosper. ```markdown ``` There is no doubt about it now. T. Theo. Fortune, Esq. is now publisher of The Washington Sun and is performing this service in that journal, grave-yard of Washington. The only man who has been able to live through it is W. Calvin Chase, Esq. and he has been able so to do, simply because he is "unkillable." We wish our friend Fortune success and only regret that he is located where his financial reward cannot possibly be commensurate with his transcendent genius and ability as a journalist. He is publishing a most interesting weekly journal and we wish him and his associates success. --- William Monroe Trotter, that remarkable agitator and defender of the race's interests is, "after them again" He and his friends will again pay a visit to President Woodrow Wilson with a hope that he will be able to eliminate race segregation at Washington. That's the way to do it. He prepared to be allowed and relied on, but let the white folks know that we are dissatisfied with this kind of treatment. God will touch their hearts after a while, and the people will touch them at the polis when the contest gets warm and interesting. Let us not grow weary with well doing, but keep on "peering away." --- JUST WANTS TO KNOW 1. What is the difference between a compound and a monomer? Roy J. A Taylor of Troy, New York is evidently in the midst of a heated political campaign and he is evidently waving his biblical sword in behalf of Col Theodore Roosevelt and the "bull mouse." How else could it be when he fires a brief sifo of questions at us and then virtually answers them in the affirmative himself? The divine declare the Republican Party has killed itself. The election returns from Maine and other states do not say so. Yes, the Republican Party lost it hold on the South after Gen. Grant left Washington. The Republican Party did all that our ministerial friend says that it did. In making charges against it however, it would be well to pay some attention to the other side of the account. There is a debt and credit side of the account, you know. The Republican Party gave all of the rights that we ever had and is responsible for those we have left out of the wreck. It placed more colored men in of one than any other Party has done and its platform principles are sounder than any other party of any size in the country. We refer of course to the colored people. The Progressive Party is proceeding to attempt to break the Solid South by breaking the colored man away from his rights in order to curry favor with the anti-Negro element of the Southland. Every national political party that has attempted to break the Solid South has itself been broken by the performance and the Progressive Party will be no exception. Col Roosevelt was wronged at Chicago and he did right in resenting it. He came out in favor of giving the suffrage to women and then acquiesced in the dental of it to the colored man. Southerners were given to understand that colored men would not be recognized in the party organization in South Carolina and other southern states and northerners were given to understand that colored men would be recognized in New York and other northern states. Col. Roosevelt's promise to support Mr. Hinman of New York met with violent opposition in his own ranks and as a result, he retraced his steps and deserted the only Republican that he had made a candidate. He called upon Mr. Hinman to come forth and when he got into a death grapple with the boss whom he and Mr. Roosevelt had assailed. Mr. Roosevelt was no where in sight to support him. Why should we refer to the Black Battalion and his desertion of one of the kindest races of people on the face of the globe? We lost confidence in the distinguished New Yorker, because he forsook great principles in order that he might gain the plaudits of the masses. Col. Roosevelt had done much for us and he has done more against us. The antipathy to us in this country is largely of his making. He stigmatized us and pronounced the guilty and the innocent responsible for wan- THE RICHMOND PLANES, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. ton assassination. Others may trust Col Roosevelt, but we are unwilling to do. He is as uncertain as an April shower, and as dangerous as a mountain lion. He does not know today, what he will do tomorrow and nobody also does. Still, he is a remarkable character and may, one of these days reach the White House again. Still, this is our opinion of him and were he another Julius Caesar and wielded equally as much power, this would be our opinion of him. He may be all right on the race question now, with a campaign on in New York, but he will bear watching. The time has indeed come for the colored man to stand with the Party that will give him his rights, but we have been unable to see the banner of that Party on the political horizon as yet. Many of the minor parties which have no chance of winning will guarantee us our rights, but we are speaking of the two great parties. The Progressive Party is only in existence with the mission to keep the Republican Party from winding. It is a minority Party. If our ministerial friend can point to a single plank in the Progressive Party platform that will give even a hint of what it will do, for the colored man should it be entrusted with power, we would like to publish it in the columns of this journal in large letters. All we have to say that those colored people, who are working for the Progressive Party should charge large sums for service now for they can rest assured that they cannot and will not get their reward hereafter. Col. Roosevelt is "dead soil" against us brother, or rather against those of us living below the Mason and Dixon Line and we know it. If you choose to "chance it," go ahead and, we shall hope for your success, but if you have any time for service, you had better put a valuation it and make the Progressive Party management pay for it at full rates. Those Democratic colored brothers were given the same advice by this journal and some of them would not now be candidates for the poor-house had they heeded our warning. Waiting twelve months for an office costs money and a man's family becomes very annoying in the absence of money for house rent, clothes and food. Colored Rooseveltans, go ahead and get your money now, for God help you if you wait for the recognition to come from the distinguished occupant of Buzzards Bay, New York. ```markdown ``` THE METHODIST SITUATION Rev Reyderdy C. Ransom, D. D., in now editor of the A. M. E. Church Review and to say that he is "a free lance" in the editorial department of that publication is putting it mildly. The A. M. E. Church people have been noted for their rows in their publication department and it is indeed gratifying to know that there is peace there now, the "storm center" having shifted to the Bartists at Nashville, Tenn., where Rev. Dr. R. H. Boyd has been bombarding the National Convention works with the most improved newspaper ordinance. But it is to the editorial utterances of the October edition of the Methodist publication that we wish to refer. After reading it, we have come to the conclusion that Dr. Ransom is independent enough to be a full-fledged Bishop. He says: In all large movements among men, the quality of leadership counts more than 50 per cent. Resources however abundant, may be worse than wasted if there is incapacity, narrowness of conception, lack of unity of plan and force of execution. The days of autocracy, as in the time of Bishop Payne, are numberless. The church is scanning the conduct of its leaders and holding them to a count as never before. While some are overgoing this business, on the whole it is well intentioned and soor minded. The cry of "gratt" which now and then is raised, is not a sign of decadence on the part of our leaders. There are probably fewer "takingks" along side lines now than ever before. Practices that were tolerated in silence or accepted as a matter of course have been outgrown. The church has become more sensitive. Its standards of official conduct have changed. Its recent legislation as to the division and disbursement of connectional funds shows what the mind of the church is in these matters. The day has passed when a Bishop can set aside with impunity the express letter of the law or over-ride without protest the will of the church. The office of a Bishop was never more respected than a Bishop, but only against those who misuse or abuse the office. A clean, impartial business administration is the demand of the hour. This tells the story and at the same time sounds a warning. The Review virtually admits that that the abuses of the past remain, but that they have been greatly reduced He continues: The leadership of the Bishops is not only generally conceded, but large discretionary power is willingly accorded them. This is particularly true as relates to the management and support of the work in several educational districts. But there are evidences which point to the fact that, at times, the "Bishop of Bishops" is itself leaderless. True, they are equals; we have no Archbishop; but a "Bench of Bishops," like a cabinet or the ministry of a government, needs one or more guilding spirits whose superior wisdom and largeness of vision command adherence. Take the matter of the proposed "Centennial Fund." It was attacked as not legalized and upon grounds that clearly showed an antis without foundation in the general sentiment of the church. Here was an opportunity that could, only come once in a century to strengthen our educational and other general interests. But some of the Bishops were either timid or indifferent; hence, as a connectional movement, it has fallen to the ground, but where properly presented it has met with prompt and generous response. This then shows the value of leadership or rather the loss entailed when there is no leadership. The "Bench of Bishops" being equal is leaderless as this gifted writer puts it and the Church suffers. But are all of the Bishops equal and are they without a chief Bishop? If they are without such an officer then the weakness in indeed at the source. The leading organization of this country has here a defect, which should be remedied. But how do we know this? Certainly the founders of the Church should have understood their business and has not the Church prospered under this system. But then we are agreeing with Dr. Ransom and he knows whereof he speaks. Who knows but some day the position of Arch-bishop of the "Bench of Bishops will astound the world." Then comes the publishing house troubles. He says: The state of confusion that has existed between the A.M.E. Publishing House and Sunday School Union has not been dealt with either with promptness or vexing. The great body of the church is silently but vigilantly, regarding the course of those who are acting for it. That a wise just and definite settlement will be made of matters that relate to our printing and publishing interests, we do not doubt, but the church has not yet "made up its mind" what to do. The action of the last General Conference showed that it was neither willing to abandon the "old land mark" nor its method of operation, but it did not record itself as willing to undertake its financial regeneration. The trend of events in the next twelve months will doubtless determine its judgment. It would be well for the Baptists of the country to read, and ponder. There is a similarity in the two cases. The Methodists had a scandal in connection with their affairs, but none has appeared in the fight of the Baptists. Dr Boyd has demonstrated his financial ability and has kept close to his work. This is why he has made some errors of judgment in the fight that he and his friends have been waging against President E. C. Morris and the "army" of Baptist divines, who are supporting him. Dr Ransom continues Much as some may seek to minimize and obscure it, candor compels to admit the presence of the spirit of sectionalism in dangerous and infamous forms. The wicked men who foster and feed it have not yet sufficiently tried their ground to attend a test of strength. The church knows them and is aware of their movements and menacing influence. It does not seem to be so sure of its connectional coherence as to visit the first sign of disloyalty with swift and open condemnation. In fact, in the past some who have threatened to raise the flag of revolt and have made destructive criticism their weapon, have gathered a following and inspired intimidation, to be crowned at last with the highest honors in the places of authority and power. The outgivings of certain ambitions layman as to the restlessness of the people in relation to official and ministerial oppression and domination do not reflect the mind of the church. Under the "diversity of gifts" bestowed by the Holy Spirit, ministers have always had charge of the machinery of the church under whatever denominational name. They will continue to do so here if the heart and soul is not to be taken out of its activities. He shrewdly sounds a warning though to members of the Church, who are agitating the master and who are protesting against alleged abuses. The ministers and officials will bring about the needed purification without any material curtailment of their powers or diminution of their authority as it at present exists. He concludes: The mind of the church is not absorbed in "grand rallies" and the raising of "dollar money." She is awakening to social consciousness and becoming more keenly alive to connectional responsibility and unity. Though with some reluctance, she shows signs of adjusting her methods to meet the changed conditions of a new age. In statu quo may spell stagnation. Apprehending this, the church of today is turning to the standards and looking to the guidance of the men of today. This then is a shrewdly written official notice to the disturbers to be careful least worst things come unto them, while at the same time admitting the existence of many evils of which complaint is made. This unrest knows no creed and no color no denomination. Lot us hope that the reformation will come from within and not be forced from without. THE KNIGHTS AND LADIES OF HONOR INCORPORATED.

The Belgian army is maintaining its position on the River Yser and all German attacks have been repulsed. Further actions are being fought between the allies and the Germans in the region of Ypres. From Ypres the allied left wing extends to the English channel, where it is being supported by British naval forces. Along the remainder of the 36-mile battle front stretching from the North Sea to Switzerland, where the defenders and the invaders have been deeply entrenched 37 days, there has been renewed activity. In the region of the Mouse river heavy fighting goes on incessantly, principally in the vicinity of Camp Des Romains. The Belgian minister in London has no confirmation of the reports that the allies have resuscited Ostend, but in any case the Germans hold on that seaport must be somewhat precarious if the allies retain the positions assigned to them in the latest French official statement. Should the allies push their wedge beyond Romers, where its point rested on Monday, Ostend would be in considerable danger of being cut off from the rest of the German army. The Germans are making great efforts to break through their opponents' lines in the neighborhood of Arras, where the fighting has proceeded for ten days without a result. In Alsace the French troops have almost reached the outset of the valleys leading to the plains of the river Ill, which flows north through Alsace and empties into the Rhine. The French now consider that they are firmly established in Alsace on territory doubly to them. Word has been received also that the Germans are hastily preparing new defensive works around Strasbourg and digging trenches in front of the city. Vineyards have been levied by the German engineers in carrying out this work. The Official Statements. The following are the official bullet tins: PARIS "In Belgium, in spite of the violent attacks on the part of the enemy, the Belgian army has held its position on the line of the river Yser. "There have been other actions in the region of Ypres between the allied forces operating in this territory and the forces of the enemy. "On our left wing the Germans continue to hold strongly their advance posts around Lille in the direction of Armontieres, Fournes and La Jusasse. "On the Meuse the enemy has endeavored in vain to drive back the advance posts of our troops, who have moved out along the right bank of this stream in the peninsula of the Camp Des Romains. "To sum up, during the day of Oct. 19 we have made progress at various points on the front. "The day has been characterized by an effort on the part of the Gormans along all parts of the front, to the extreme north where the Belgian army has held remarkably; at La Bassec, where the German troops have attempted an offensive movement of particular violence; to the north of Arras; at Mametry, between Perona and Albert; at Vanquois, to the east of the Argonne, and finally on the heights of the Meuse and in the region of Champion. "Everywhere the German attacks have been repulsed." BERLIN. "After several weeks of desperate resistance our troops' have captured some of the forts surrounding Verdun. This opens the way for an attack on the main fortifications, and preparations for this are now being made. "The situation in the west shows no change. The remnant of the Belgian army is opposing our Antwerp army near the coast. The French and British troops, apparently worn out by their efforts to check our advance, are leaving the burden of the conflict to the Belgians, who are showing great bravery. "The enemy in this theater of war means to have exhausted his reinforcements and to have weakened his line by extending it in the effort to keep our troops from the coast. --- The Germans advancing along the coast from Ostend met hostile forces at the Year river, near Nieuport, where fighting has been going on since last Sunday. "Tuesday the attacks of the enemy west of Lille were repulsed, the enemy suffering heavy losses." The correspondent of the Daily Mail in the north of France sends this dis- English Field Marshal Who Reviews Fighting In France. # **224. by American Press Association.** In two long reports Field Marshal Sir Jouce Bach, commander-in-chief of the British Army, recounts with considerable detail the fighting in which the British expeditionary force was engaged during the month ended Sept. 28. This fighting included the retirement from Monaco, the evacuation of the French, advance after a most vigorous offensive on the part of the allies back to the river Alane and the first stage of the deeperate encounters along the line of that river, which included the crossing of the French front by the Germans. This is the most recent picture of French, received in America several days ago. patch regarding the situation there. "A big battle is in progress, about the front extending from Oxford to Lille. In competent quarters the position of the allies is regarded as entirely satisfactory. "The enemy's attempt to brush past our left wing to the Straits of Dover is rapidly coming to ignomious failure. Their line of attack was intended to extend from Oxford through Lille to Dover, but the greatly exaggerated defeats of the last battle has blighted on the powers of the southern half of the line, instead of a united army marching in an unbridled line across Pas-de-Calais and the north departments, there is left merely a series of detachments. They are still large but where ever they have when battle they have been beaten. "It faced the prospect of an adamant in the worst condition, tropical rain having turned the country into a quarrel. The rioter is absolutely off, in terror with civilians and officers, no natural cover. However the issue turns, the emperor's channel army is doomed." "Burning houses indicate the line of fighting in northwest Belgium," telegraphs the Flushing correspondent of the Evening News. "On Sunday seventeen trains of forty cars each brought German wounded back to Lorient," the correspondent continues. "The northern columns of the Germans have been increased with reinforcements brought at night by train from Brges, where but few Germans are left." Dr. Leslie Haden Guest, who established in Angle French hospitals in France, behead the number of wounded soldiers in France in estimated at half a million. KAISER BEATEN BACK BY GZAR IN POLAND Tremendous losses have been suffered by the Germans in their attacks on the Russian positions along the Vistula river. It was announced in Petrograd, but the fighting continues day and night. The Army Gazette, official organ of the Russian military establishment states that 18,000 Germans killed in the conflict have been buried by the Russians. The fighting is of the most desperate character, but thus far the Russians have more than held their own it is stated at the war office. The Austro-German forces on the Warsaw Irangored coast are being compelled to withdraw "step by step." The Russians again repelled the Austrians at Samborion on the 14th. They took three companies, with all their officers. In the north it is estimated that the Germans lost 40 percent of their forces in killed and wounded. The Russians buried 18,000 German bodies: Russians Lost 40,000 at Przemysl. The valor shown by the Russian troops in their attack on Przemysl is highly praised by a correspondent of the Berlin Zeitung am Mittag, who succeeded in reaching the Galician fortress while it was being believed by the exarls troops. The version he sends corroborates the Austrian claim that fully 40,000 Russians were killed in their attempts to take the fortress by storm, and he declares that the defenders also took many prisoners. Torpedo boat Destroyer Battered to Pieces by Japanese—English Battle ship Disabled by Taling-Tau Ports. It was officially announced in Berlin that the British new summarine E5 was sunk on Sunday, Oct. 18, by German warships in the North sea. Press information given out in German official circles says: "Although the news of the fate of the German torpedo boat destroyers S-115, S-117, S-118 and S-119, which were sunk by British warships off the Dutch coast, has around feelings of deep regret throughout Germany, the loss of the ships will rather increase than decrease the pride of the Germans for their navy. The crews are much borneamed, but the vessels were old and/or little value." The destruction of the British submarine E3 by the German warships in the North Sea is the first loss sustained by the British submarine service since the beginning of the war. The E3 was a comparatively new boat having been completed in 1913. Japanese Destroy German Cruiser. Official announcement was made in Tokio that the German torpedo boat destroyer S35, which sank the Japanese cruiser Takaiko on the night of Oct. 17, while making its escape from Tsing Tao harbor under cover of darkness, has been destroyed. At first it was reported that the Takaiko had been blown up by a German mine, but the error was discovered when the escape of the S35 became known. The German boat left the harbor unseen, but ran around sixty miles south of Khao Chan harbor, while closely skirting the shore. In the meantime Japanese warships had got out in pursuit, and when the Bismarck was found they destroyed it. The admiralty also announced that a German surveying ship had been captured and sunk. --- British Battleship Damaged Shells from bowlers in the German fortress of Tsing Tan have seriously damaged the great British bat toilship Triumph and compelled her to withdraw from the British-Japanese bombarding fleet, according to a statement issued by the German embassy in Washington, based on dispatch received from the Far East by way of San Francisco. Steamship Strikes Mine It is reported in Harwich, Eng., that the Holland-Amerika line steamer Potsdam struck a mine in the North sea and was crippled by the resulting explosion. $5000 JOB THROUGH ADV Mayor Mitchell Gives Applicant Prefer ence Over Dozen Politicians.

Three hundred replies were received. None of the applicants knew that Mayor Mitchell was the advertiser. BULLET KILLS A FARMER Assailant Says That He Mistook Vic him. For a Highwayman David Kunkle, a farmer, died at Harvey's Lake, near Wilkes-Barre, Pa., from a bullet wound inflicted by John Zanazitr, who shot him when they met on the highway. Zanazitr says that he mistook Kunkle for a highwayman when he fired the fatal shot. Friends of Kunkle assert that he set out from his home to remonstrate with Zanazitr for threatening harm to James Caranci, sixteen years old. It is said that Zanazitr threatened to shoot the boy. About ten o'clock Kunkle met Zanazitr on a lonely road about the lake and one shot was fired. The bullet entered Kunkle's abdomen.

A GENERAL SURVEY OF THE WAR WEDNESDAY Paris officially announces that the French and English troops have advanced to Ypres, Belgium, 25 miles southeast of Qstend, toward which a strong German force is reported to be moving. For seventy-two hours, Paris reports, the Germans have been trying vainly to pierce the line of the allies between Arms and Albert, on the extreme left of the French and British army, and between Royo and Lassigny, between the left and the center. An official statement from the Berlin war office says the German advance in Poland has been successful at all points, that the losses of the Russian defenders have been tremendous, and that the czar's troops are falling back. THURSDAY. Substantial gains by the allies at points extending over virtually the entire front of the long battle line in France, are reported in an official statement from Paris. The German forces, which have begun a move to turn the Anglo-French left flank and at the same time gain control of the north coast of France are said to have been driven back to Courtral, Belgium. Progress has been made, the report says, between Abbert and Arras, on the left, where the Germans attacked heavily. From Petrograd it is reported that the German army in Poland reached a point only ten miles from Warsaw but that they were driven back. Denial is made that the siege of Przemysl in Galleca, has been raided, or that Lemberg, the capital of that Austrian province, has been retaken. FRIDAY The German navy has scored an other heavy blow against Great Britain, in the destruction by a submarine in the North sea of the British cruiser Hawke, with a loss of life reported at 350 men. This makes sever English cruisers sink by German submarines since the war began. In the great battle in northern France the allies, according to an official statement from Paris, have extended their left wing from Ypres, in Belgium, to the coast of the North Sea, thus placing an obstacle in the path of the German forces marched toward the channel ports. Berlin reports that the kaiser's army has won a decisive victory over 320,000 Russians between Ivangorod and Warsaw. SATURDAY Each day bring the war more home to England, in a naval battle of the Dutch coast a British cruiser and four de Graoyen sank four German de stroyerens. On land the German troops reached the coast of Belgium, less than seventy miles from Dover. They are about to attempt a march southward to Dunkirk and Calais, which are even closer to the English coast it is here, in West Flanders and across the French frontier, in Pas de Calais, that the heaviest and most important fighting is now going on. Reports of fighting in East Prussia Poland, Galicia and Hungary are still so widely at variance that it is difficult to judge of the progress of the battles. Austria claims to be driving the Russians out of Hungary, while the Russian generals say they are leaving the country to escape danger of infection from cholera. SUNDAY Armeniterea, a French city on the Belgian frontier and a railroad center of vast strategic importance, was occupied by the French after the Germans had been driven out after a desperate battle. Possession of Armeniterea gives the French and British an advantageous base in their operations to recover Belgium. Belgium's army victoriously opposed the passage by the Germans of the River Yser, near the channel coast and compelled the kaleera troops to retreat to Ostend. North of Arras the allies advanced rapidly, despite determined resistance by Germans. West of Arras, toward the River Oise, the Germans were compelled to abandon their trenches at several stations. Germany's army, which is attempt ing-to invade Russia, has been signally defeated in attempts to cross the Vatula river, according to a semi official announcement. MONDAY. Hurting their troops, reinforced by the Belgian forces which escaped from Antwerp, against the German advance the allies, according to reports from Paris, have checked the move of the kaiser's forces to gain possession of the north coast of France, and it places have thrown them back. At the same time dispatches from Dunkirk, France, thirty miles along the coast west of Ostend, say that the Germans have approached within eight miles of that city, and that heavy fire has been heard. It is believed by some that British warships are siding with cannon fire the allies' troops or land. The Russian capital says that the German army from East Prussia is being held in the vicinity of Misna-north of Warsaw; that the Thorn-Pasen forces are following the Vistula and that the forces from Silesia are beleaguering Ivangorod, south of War saw. Another naval disaster occurred in the Far East, where the Japanese cruiser Takachiho was sunk by a German man in Tsing-Tao harbor, with a mass of 271 officers and men.

This is the inventor of turpentine, the deadly gas which has been decloaked in French shells. It is said that one of these shells weighing fifty-pounds will kill every one in a space of 400 yards. Turpine, the inventor, is shown in his laboratory. Scores of Germans have been found dead in trenches without a single wound in localities where this shell has been used. The French, however, are about to abandon its use because of the great danger in diving it. Panama Canal Is Blocked. A serious landslide in the Culebra cut interrupted completely all traffic through the Panama canal. Several ships then in the canal have been unable to complete their passage. The first reports indicated that there were earth movements on both sides into the channel from the slopes of Gold and Contractors hills, which are virtually opposite each other. The official investigation by Colonel Goethals and other officials disclosed however, that the west side of the canal had not been affected. There was no slide at Contractors' hill. The trouble occurred on the east side of the canal, north of Gold hill. A large mass of trap rock, mixed with loose earth, sloughed into the channel. There was no disturbance at Cucaracha. Colonel Goethals declared that he was unable to say when the channel again would be navigable, but that he hopes within a few days. An accurate survey is being made to determine the extent of the dredging necessary. The debris now virtually fills the channel to the west bank, and the bottom of the channel also is being forced up by the weight along the east bank. Four vessels at Cristobal and two at Balboa have been delayed, awaiting the opening of a new channel. British Cruiser Torpedoed. Another thrust from the German submarine service has robbed the British navy of the cruiser Hawke, and has raised the tally of British warships sunk by the Germans to seven. To this record must be added the virtual destruction of the cruiser Pegasus by a German warship at Zanzibar. The Hawke, a cruiser of 7350 tons, under command of Captain Hugh P. K. T. Williams, was sunk in the North sea, the graveyard of six other warships, which were the victims of German torpedoes. It was only bad aim on the part of the German gunners which saved the Hawke's sister ship, the Theaus, and the doubling of the disaster, for that vessel, too, was attacked, but she escaped. The exact complement aboard the Hawke has not been announced, but in ordinary times the men numbered 500. As she was built several years ago it is probable that her crew was not up to the full complement. According to one report, she had only 400 aboard. Whatever the number, only fifty-two men were saved, and there was not a single commissioned officer among them. General Hamilton Killed.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1914 18 Economy Hints A penny-saved is a penny earned— Benjamin Franklin DON'T throw away the old pieces of bread that are loft over from each meal, but instead put them all in a jar and then twice a week place the assortment in a slow oven to dry and brown a bit. After this place them in a crusher or meat chopper and plyverize. This can also be done with a rolling pin. Put in a jar for future use. A supply of dried breadcrumbs should always be kept handy. They are required every day in the cooking. For most purposes dried breadcrumbs are much better than freshly crumbled ones, and it saves endless time when the actual cooking is on hand if these are always ready. Grated cheese is also necessary in cooking, and the old pieces of cheese should be sorted after each meal, grated down and stored in wide necked glass bottles. The extravagant housewife buys land for cooking purposes. The home cook who understands practical economy never permits this extravagance. It should never be necessary to buy fat for frying purposes, if meat is properly trimmed and all the spare fat rendered down, together with dripping, and the fat taken from the top of stock, provided the latter has not been favored with onions. To clarify fat put all the pieces, whether raw or cooked, in an iron saucepan with a little water, enough to come to about a quarter of the depth of the fat, holl it quickly without the lid till the water is evaporated and the fat reduced to oil, stirring it frequently the while. Then strain it off into a clean basin. After being used for frying, fat should be strained at once and can be used time after time, whatever is left. If it is not burned and brown, being recolored with the other. Properly clarified fat comes in well for ordinary cakes and pastry also. Many housewives throw away the shriveled brown pieces left in the sieve after the fat was strained, but one home cook saves it. She chops and uses it fastened of suet, and it makes excellent puddings. CUISINE HINT. How to Make Sirups and Get Them Right. Time and atmosphere are the two considerations to study when sirups are being made. A clear, dry air helps very much. The foundation sirup must be boiled until it forms a soft ball when taken up with the fingers. Chill the fingers in ice water first; then the hot sirup will not burn. Place three-fourths of a cupful of sugar and three tablespoonfuls of water in a flat bottomed dish to boil evenly after stirring the sugar until dissolved. When bubbling begins sprinkle a bit of cream of tartar on just as you do when making candy. This is the right amount of sugar to boat to the white of one egg. Beat the egg light and dry and after the sugar is added boat until it cools and will "set" when spread. The seasoning should be added while hot. If chocolate or cocoa, sprinkle on dry, and the hot sugar will melt it. Fruit juices may be added for seasoning, and the grated rind of an orange or lemon flavors and colors nicely. Another test for alurpa is this: Roll one cupful of sugar and three tablespoonfuls of water. Stir until dissolved and set on to heat slowly. Watch the boiling as it begins on one side of the dish until it spreads over the surface gradually and all is bubbling. At that instant remove from the store and pour on to the beaten egg. When you are making boiled icing and you fear that it will dry before you get it spread on the cake add a little butter to the icing. The butter will not only prevent the icing from turning to candy, but it adds to the richness. This is one method of using chocolate. A NURSERY HINT. How to Prevent the Baby Chewing Its Cap Strings. It is practically impossible to keep a baby's cap strings clean. He will chew on them until they are mugged and dirty long before the cap itself is even soiled. The solution of this problem is simple. It may not be as pretty as the ribbon or muslin bows when they are fresh, but it is a great deal prettier than when they are soiled. Take a one-third inch wide elastic and sew it to one side of the cap. Then measure off to the other side to get the right length and fasten with it-hook on the elastic and an eye inside the little cap. Be sure it is plenty long enough so that there will not be the slightest chewing pressure on the little one's throat. There is no danger of this elastic coming undone, as with cap strings, and it is much more sanitary, cleaner and dainter looking. HOW TO KEEP A GARBAGE CAN CLEAN. All garbage should be kept in a covered galvanized can. When possible have a wooden box with a bluged lid to hold the receptacle; otherwise nail an ordinary wooden box, bottom side, to the fence or back shed. Give it a coat of outside paint. It will be easier to clean and much more slightly. As garbage breeds mosquitoes and the deadly germ bearing fly, the greatest care must be taken in cleaning the pail. This should be done each time the garbage is removed. Use weak solutions of any coal tar products. These are at once disinfectants and deodorizers. They are inexpensive and will kill not only the flies and mosquitoes, but their eggs. One, about 50 cents a pint, and another, about 85 cents for a similar quantity, may be obtained at any drug store. In making a solution of either of the above use in the proportion of a teaspoonful to a pint of water, or if made in gallon quantity, which may be bottled and kept until used, have the proportion a quarter of a pint to a gallon of water. A solution of chloride of lime, one teaspoonful to a pint of water, or a strong solution of water and washing soda make good cleaners. All of these are recommended by the city health authorities. These solutions will kill the grass, and should therefore be captured into a hydrant drain. Keep a discarded whisk broom for cleaning out the garbage can, for the hands need not come into contact with the dirty water. Put the cleaned can in a tiled position so that the sun can penetrate the entire inside. The box in which the garbage can is kept should be cleaned two or three times a week. Some housewives advise putting freshly cut grass or a layer of newspaper in the bottom of the can to prevent the garbage from sticking to the bottom. "See, darling," and Mrs. Justwed held up for her husband's gaze three mirrors arranged so an to give as many reflections. "I can get a triple view of myself." "I humph!" gurgled her brute of a man, struggling with his collar. "You seem to be quite popular with yourself!"—Judice. Used to Such Whining: The real estate agent, tired and pcevish, arrived at his home in the suburbs. "Oh, George," greeted his wife, "the dog has been winning all day long!

"He writes me that he's on the left end, and I can't tell whether that's the top or bottom of his class."—Detroit Free Press. THOUGHTS ON YOUTH. Youth is to all the glad son of life, but often only by what it hopes, not by what it attains or what it escapes.—Carlyle. The morning of life is like the dawn of day, full of purity, of imagery and harmony.—Chateaubriand. As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.—Clero. The foreground of human life is the only part of it which we can examine with real exactness.—Froude. There is a feeling of eternity in youth which makes amends for everything. To be young is to be as one of the immortals. —Harlitt. RIMED QUOTATIONS. Think not ambition who because 'tis grave. —Sir William Davenant. The paths of glory lead but to the grave; —Gray. What is ambition? 'Tis a glorious cheat. —Willis.

"Pittsburgh Press." The Revolt Against Wigs Probably the greatest stir that was ever made about masculine fashion in hair in this country was at the end of the eighteenth century when the scarcity of flour, Pitt's tax on powder and "lovelling" sentiment combined to introduce short hair. Those who adopted the new fashion were at first known as the "Bedford crop," because it was the Duke of Bedford and a number of young noblemen who gave the lead at Woburn abbey by retiring to the powdering room and having their heads washed and cropped. Horace Walpole complained bitterly that by the revolt against wigs "all individuality is confounded."—London Express. Her Sphere. "There is one thing which woman could understand in political matters if she had the franchise." "What's that?" "When sweeping reforms are on the carpet."—Baltimore American. THE PRICE OF WAR What a cruel and brutal thing is war, to separate and destroy families and friends and mar the perest joy and happiness God has granted us in this world; war that fills our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors and that devastates the fair face of the beautiful world.—Robert E.

A normal baby weighs seven to seven and one-half pounds at birth, fifteen pounds at five or six months and twenty-one pounds at twelve months. The baby should double its weight in six months and treble it at about twelve months. Its length at birth is twenty to twenty-one inches, at six months twenty-five to twenty-six inches, and at twelve months the length is twenty-eight to twenty-nine inches. Galns in weight are more rapid during the first six months. The average weekly gain is about four ounces. The best time to have a baby vaccinated is in its first year. If it is healthy it may be vaccinated at the end of the third month. Health Bulletin. Printed Music. Music was first printed with movable type in England at the close of the fifteenth century.

(Residents Next Door.) OPEN ALL DAY AND NIGHT—Man on Duty. All Night. The old gentleman went into the parlor the other night at the Witching hour of 10:30 and found the lights out and his daughter and a dear friend enjoying a tete-a-tete in a corner by the window. "Evangeline," said the old man sternly, "this is scandalous!" "Yes, papa," she answered sweetly. "It is candlesle because times are hard. Lights cost so much Ferdinand and I said we would get along with the starlight." And papa turned about in speechless amazement and tried to walk out of the room through a panel in the wall paper—London Mall. The British royal yacht squadron is the most exclusive club in the world, and there is a story that relates to an undeadable member who, somehow or other, managed to get elected into the club. The members wanted the election canceled, and the only way out of the difficulty was to peruse the unpopular member to resign. The secretary, as tactfully as possible, offered him a substantial sum of money if he would withdraw his memborship. The member was furious, and bounced off to complain to one of the committee. "I have been grossly insulted by the secretary of this club," he roared. "He has offered me a sum of money to resign." "Oh, well," said the other soothingly "however much it is, if you sit tight you'll get double." A correspondent of the London Chronicle recently came across a good specimen of the things better left unsaid in the visitors' book of a south coast boarding house. A lady enthusiast about the kindness of the host and hostess and the joys of the house concluded with "the food is quite exceptional. I have been hungry all the time."
