REHARDD PLANET CAPTAIN WILLIAM H CARTER LAID AT REST Funeral services over the remains of Captain William H. Carter, who died on Sunday, October 25th, 1914, were held the following Wednesday at one o'clock, at the Second Baptist Church. The building was well-night filled with sorrowing relatives and friends, and the large number of beautiful floral designs mutely attested the esteem in which the deceased was held. Dr. Z. D. Lewis, the Pastor, in his usual masterly way, delivered what might be termed a sermon-cology, paying a most touching and glowing tribute to the life and character of the deceased, dwelling especially upon his religious activities, the pride he took in his home and family, his remarkable mental gifts, and commending most particularly his services on the Trustee Board of the Second Baptist Church of which he was a member. The Church Choir, under Prof. Crump, sang appropriate selections, among them, "There is a land of pure delight," etc. one of the deceased's favorite hymns. Miss Bessie Lomax feelingly rendered as a solo "There is rest for the weary," and Prof. William B. Smith, always charming to hear, sang "Come Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove," etc., another favorite hymn of the deceased. The body was then conveyed to Evergreen Cemetery where, "mild the tears and sighs of his bereaved family and friends, it was tenderly laid to rest in the family plot. Captain Carter was born in Goochland County, Va., about 65 years ago. Later on he came with his parents to live in this city, and, under the skillful guidance of his father, soon mastered the trade of shoemaker. His parents then removed to Rio Vista, Hearne County, Va., but Capt. Carter, upon marrying, took up and continued until his death, his abode in this city, pursuing his occupation of a shoemaker when not engaged in other lines. Captain Carter held a number of positions of honor and trust. He was in the early seventies a U. S. Government Watchman at Granite, Va., when the famous guarriers at that place formed the stone for the Philadelphia Post Office Building. Later on he was a Clerk in the Richmond Post Office. In 1875 he was commissioned by the then Governor Keuper captain of a volunteer company of light infantry, called "The Keuper Guards," attached to the 102nd Regiment of the State Militia, and this is why he was called "Captain" Carter. He was also for several terms Supreme Keeper of Records and Scales of that branch of theords and Seal of that branch of the Eastern and Western Hemisphere contingent, traveling extensively in its interest, and held responsible positions in most of the many fraternal organizations with which he was at times affiliated. He early took great interest in politics, and it is doubtless in this line more than in any other by which he will be long remembered, for he became unusually prominent as a political leader. He was regarded as possessing rare, oratorical powers, and his services on the stump in behalf of his party were in constant demand all over the state when Colored people had political aspirations. He frequently represented his party in state conventions and was once selected a presidential elector. When the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution used to be celebrated, he was often chosen to deliver the principal oration. While denied the advantages of schooling, except for a very brief period, he evinced unusual literary tastes, and his productions, whether in the capacity of a newspaper reporter or as a contributor, possessed such apparent scholastic merit as called forth very flattering commendation from recognized literary authorities. Captain Carter also at one time stood well with the authorities of this city, and many of the first Colored public school teachers of which we can boast owed their selection to his wide influence. Truly a useful citizen and Christian has gone to his final reward, leaving behind, besides his grief-sticken family, a wide circle of admiring and graterful friends to behold him. The best part of his life—that part when the pulse beats strong and the blood tingles through every vein; when hope is brightest and opportunity for selfish ends most inviting—he gave to his fellowmen. It was not surprising, then, that old age should have stolen upon him without those accumulations which men no highly praise—the material things of this world. But few men of his men had accumulated more numerous or richer memories of self-encircling deaths in behalf of others to show and comfort him in his despair than then he; and those will have given their worldly possessions that accounted to real ENTERED INTO REST.

Prosecution Failed-to Make Out Case--Pathetic Scene in the Court Room. The Colored Man's Declaration. "I am going on thirty-six years old. This is the first time I've ever been in real trouble. Once I was arrested for stealin' a cow and sent to the road for a year, but I'll never do it again. This trial can't last long. It can't, for I ain't doge nothin', and they can't prove it on me."—JOHN CLEMENTS, in the Richmond, Va. Evening Journal, October 27, 1914. The White Girl's Assertion. "That's the man who attacked me. I am positive. There is no question about it. I know he is the man."—Miss FANNIE CHEKAULT, in the Richmond, Va. Evening Journal, October 27, 1914. John Clements is not guilty of attacking Miss Fannie T. Chenault near her house on the Seven Pines line on the night of May 9th. So said the jury in the Henrico Circuit Court this morning, after having deliberated over the merits of the case exactly eighteen hours.—Richmond, Va. Evening Journal, October 30, 1914. A verdict of not guilty was today returned in the case of John Clements the negro tried in the Henrico circuit court on an indictment charging him with a capital crime against Miss Fannie T. Chenault. The verdict was rendered at 11:20 o'clock. The jury had been out 18 hours. Clements received the verdict in silence. He gripped the railing in front of him when Deputy Clerk Fletcher ordered him to stand up. He was visibly nervous. Sitting back in his seat, he turned to Father Hannigan and his attorneys and thanked them for the service they had rendered him. Miss Chenault was not in court when the verdict was announced. Her father, W. W. Chenault, said he had no statement to make at this time. The consensus of opinion seemed to be that the verdict was a just one. Immediately after the verdict was returned, Clements was arrested on a warrant charging him with the theft of a wrench from Charlie Dean. He was tried in the lower court immediately after his acquittal on the serious charge. His attorneys announced that in case of conviction they would immediately appeal to the higher court. FREED ON LARCENY CHARGE Clements was acquitted by Magistrate Sunday on the charge of stealing the wrench. The trial was brief but a touch of the dramatic was given it by the appearance of Father Hannigan and his address to the court after the evidence had been heard. Attorney Irving May, who represented Clements, admitted to the court that the negro had taken the wrench from Charles Dean's farm on May 9. He said, however, that the pressing of the larceny charge after the negro's life had been in jeopardy was persecution. Charles Dean identified the wrench and said it was stolen from his farm. At the conclusion of the evidence, Father Hannigan was granted leave to address the court. He said: "Because of the state-wide popularity of the verdict in the case which has just ended in the circuit court, where this boy was on trial for his life, I ask as a man, a citizen and a minister of the gospel that he be liberated. I will take personal charge of him. "I will see that he is fed today: I will purchase a ticket to Norfolk for him and send him to his relatives. He has been incarcerated six months and I think he has been punished enough." Father Hannigan stated that none of the three attorneys who defended Clemente in the trial for his life received one cent of fee. He said they all felt he was innocent and gave their servants in the course of torture. REV. CHAS. F. HANNIGAN'S PLEA. Colored Man's Declaration six years old.

He dismissed the larceny charge and Clements left the courthouse in the custody of the priest. It was learned that when the jury retired last night it stood eleven for acquittal and one for conviction, the juror holding out for conviction being Walter Ford, it was said. The faulty identification of Clements by Miss Chenault, it is believed resulted in his acquittal. Miss Chenault, the defense proved, had identified a negro named Riddick in the city jail as her assailant. One of the jurors said today, that there was never any doubt in his mind as to the innocence of Clements. He said the jury would have returned a verdict yesterday afternoon, but for the one juror who held out for conviction. This juror did not decide to vote for acquittal until five minutes before the verdict was returned, it was learned. The jury, it was said, was on the verge of reporting to Judge Scott that it was hopelessly divided, when the twelfth juror announced he would vote with the other eleven. DIGGS DISAPPOINTED When seen this afternoon after the vordict was returned Attorney Diggs who represented the Chenault family said: "I do not like to criticize the verdicts of juries or the decisions of courts in cases in which I appear an counsel and do not mean to criticize the jury in this case I can only say that I was very sadly disappointed in the vordict. "I thought the evidence was amply sufficient to justify a conviction. Miss Chenault positively identified the negro. Eddie Martin saw a man following her and Mr. and Mrs. Veltch and Conductor Slaughter positively identified this man as the one who was loitering in the neighborhood of Pecot's switch immediately preceding the crime, and Clements must have been the man Martin saw following Miss Chenault. "This testimony I regarded as sufficient to fix the crime on Clements. "In regard to the identifications of Riddick and Thompson, the man killed by Sergent Krengle, they were clearly not the men, and I think the witnesses were mistaken in saying that Miss Chenault positively identified them. "Mr. Chenault is heart-broken at the verdict, and I feel very sorry for him. I think, however, that the jury acquitted Clements on the grounds of lack of identification and not because it doubted the truth or sincerity of Miss Chenault." JURY SENT BACK. REV. CARROLL, AND THE MAN. Plain Talk to Plain Men—Humorous Assertion. Rev. Richard Carroll, the great South Carolina evangelist talked to men last Sunday afternoon, 3:30 of the Fifth St. Baptist Church. His remarks were along the lines ofology and at no time since the Church has been founded has any man spoken like this man spoke. He had about five hundred hearers and he will continue the subject tomorrow (Sunday) at 3:30. The indications are that he will have a body of men to greet him from the pulpit to the doors. Rev. Carroll declared that there were but three "animals" that commit rape, a goat, a rooster and a man. PRACTICAL ADVICE : He then gave practical advice to men. He referred to the women, but gingerly passed over that subject. At the conclusion, although he had previously announced that the subject would be a nasty one, the meeting by a show of hands unanimously approved of the valuable advice he had given. At times, Rev. Carroll mimicked the drunkard and the Liberate to the infinite amusement of those present. These talks are a feature of his lecture course and they have been the source of much good to many of his hearers. GO TO FIFTH ST. TOMORROW. Rev. Richard Carroll The Attraction. Rev, Richard Carroll of South Carolina is here with the white ministers leading the Baptist evangelistic crusade against the forces of hell in this community. He will preach Sunday, Sth, inst. at 11:20 A. M. at the Fifth St. Baptist Church. There will no doubt be a large crowd to hear, this remarkable divine. He has been conducting revival meetings this week at the Fifth St. Baptist Church to a steadily increasing congregation. In the afternoon tomorrow, he will speak at 3.30 exclusively to men. He will preach again at 8 P. M. to both men and women. It will be a rare opportunity to hear him at his beat. CARD OF THANKS. Mrs. William H.

A SHOCKING TRAGEDY. A Quarrel About Chickens. As the result of a quarrel over the sale of some chickens, Edward Stokes, colored, forty-four years old, was shot and killed by Eugene Johnson, also colored, Friday afternoon Oct. 30th, at 4:30 o'clock. The shooting occurred in a field adjoining the home of Stokes, at 1728 West Leigh street. Stokes alleges that Johnson approached him with a shotgun, and that he drew his own pistol and fired in defense. He fired three times more, according to the police, but it was the first shot that found its mark and sent Stokes to his death. As he ran from the man, still firing at him, Stokes shouted to his wife and told her to call the city ambulance; that he was shot and mortally hurt. Stokes died within a few minutes of being placed in bed. Johnson was arrested in his home at 1770 Moore Street by Policeman Reid, and was looked up in the Second Police Station. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. PETERSBURG EASY VICTIM Whitewashed by Union 64-0. Va. Union University, Richmond, Va. dealt an ignominious defeat to Va. Normal and Industrial Institute-Peterburg, Va. on the latter's Campus last Saturday. The large score is not due to the fact that Petersburg has a weak team—but that Union was so much the stronger. Yet the brilliant plays and straight, football of the visitors placed the game above the featureless class. Union made 15 first downs. Petersburg only one. One of the noteworthy points of the game was the quickness of time in which Union made a touch down. The quickest one was made in the second quarter by half-back Thompson. On the kick off he captured the pigskin on Union's twenty yard line. Following his interference until halfway up the field, he suddenly darted out and by stiff arming and clever ducking, crowned his 50 yard dash with a touchdown. In the second half, Coach Fisher placed the scrubs on the field. But the slaughter did not cease. Touchdowns were made with the same rapidity. For Petersburg, Capt. Peyton seems to have captured all honors. For Union, the usual stars, Duck-wilder, Taylor, Capt. Howell and H. T. Thompson, stand in the time light. PLAY HAMPTON NEXT. Union goes to Hampton Friday to battle with the holders of the football championship of 1913. A close game is predicted. Union at present has the best chance she has ever had to whip Hampton.

Prosecuted. had accustomed herself to taking, by the girl's turning on her pallet and regarding her out of eyes that held the light of sanity in lieu of the delirium It had seemed so impossible to combat. Slowly, very slowly, under the abrupt relaxation of the strain under which she had been, Lancele's knees sank from under her and beside the bed of rushes she knelt, shaking with hasheren soils, filled with a joy so great the tears refused to flow. How long she knelt she did not know, was never to know. But meriful shimmer came to her and she was awakened by the tender touch of a enclosed hand upon her shoulder. Startled she sprang to her feet, then tugged at her alarm as she looked at the chief and saw from the expression upon his face that he knew his elf was out of danger. She turned to the patient, still sheping. Yes, no one could fail to see that the crisis was resisted and passed. "She is going to get well," said Lancele, and the shirt sniffed at her tote. From outside came a sudden clash of sound, in rippling, drumming sound that diminished to almost an echo only to rise slowly, gradually into a perfect thundering wave. There was something musically trumpet-like about it which seemed to her to jite with the majestic tones of a huge organ. Slowly the chef's right hand reached out, his head slowly bending in obedience. Let the wonderingly placed her fingers upon the forearm of the man and emerged into the open, her eyes rounded in wonderment at the sight that greeted her. Gorgiously capuccinised in scarlet and gold, a wonderful throne of the same colors upon his back, a bronze native stride his head, knelt a mull white elephant almost at her feet. Before the huts stood the natives, their white shields held across the forearms of their right hands, while they drummed out the chorus she had observed before by slapping their spears against the tightly drawn surfaces. The old chief stood motionless beside the elephant, and she realized slowly that he meant her to take the seat. She shook her head in negation. She was too utterly tired and worn out to do too anything. Before she had time to regret her decision, the old man stepped toward her, unwinding a curiously shaped amulet from about his neck. Came a crowding forward of the na- tries from every direction, the men in the forefront, the woman and children in the rear. Something in the silence that succeeded the drumming noise, in the sober faces of the orderly throng surrounding her, made her turn toward the chief rather expectantly. Gravely as any king bestowing an order upon a loyal subject, the old man lifted the amulet by its two golden threads, and dropped it about her neck, an amulet of a curious milky stone carved into the semblance of an elephant and glittering with their precious stones, so set as to spell out certain native words. Lucille looked about, smiling at what she knew to be a sign of these people's belief in her. And then the smile did upon her lips, faded from her eyes and was succeeded by one of fear. For behind the throng, arms folded his saturnine face impassive, cold, determined, stood Hugo Loubeque, his eyes fastened undeviatingly upon her. What followed the ceremonial attendant upon the presentation of the white elephant to Lucille was all a blur to her. She remembered being taken to some temple, the triumphant return in the chair upon the back of the sacred beast, but always before her eyes loomed the figure of Hugo Loubeque. This afternoon, when she had come back to the hall which she stood SYNOPSIS Valuable governmental papers are stolen by Thompson, follower of Louise, international spy, the master of love, whom Louise has been a friend to.

Lutie shuddered gags, from the black fastnesses of the somniphrase that hedged them in, the glow of yellow eyes gleaned. Fire falls they might have been, so seldom and silent were the animals who watched the procession, but the pat of stealthy feet, the crunch of broken twigs, an occasional growl or cry told her what they were. It was welt into the day when their party was not by a native coming from the opposite direction. Lutie was attracted by the rapid conversation he held with the chief, nodding the perturbation which showed so strongly on the old man's face when he turned away and rebuffed his pace. It was well high impossible for her to keep up now. Worn out by exposure and this tramp through the jungle there seemed times when she could not drag herself along, when the tired muscles kinked and refused to work. Then quite unexpectedly through a wall of vegetation the party emerged into a great clearing upon which the sun beat fiercely. A few old men squatted before the openings to the humid or more huts that filled the open space set down here in the midst of the jungle. Many children played about dressed only in the garments of their birth. From a but many times the size of any other and set at the extreme head of the clearing facing down the double row as would an officer scan his slopes of men came a droming sound, the low pitched waiting of many women's voices, never varying in its dreary monotone. A terrible sound it was sorrowful, dizzie. Instinctively La ville lifted her eyes to those of the chief, her finger tips brushing against his bare forearm symmetrically. A swift gleam crossed his stern face. At a few sharp words the party disbanded, disappearing in the huts "Come with me!" said the chief. And, although she did not understand the words, she followed his swift stride toward the great but from which the sound came. The interior of the hut was crowded with women, the atmosphere so close as to fairly drive her back toward the tiny door through which she had entered. And to the ears of the girl, dominating the dreadful wall, came a simple note, the crying of a child. Imperatively she brushed through the women, stepping over the pallet of rushes while the patent lay. Even with the emulation which her illness had caused, despite the blaze of delirium in the widened eyes, the black splatches of fever in the cheeks, Luille would have known the girl for the daughter of the old man. Iy signs she made it clear to the old man that the but must be cleared before anything could be done to assist his daughter. Gradually it dawned upon her that the crowding of the but was a custom of his people, which required vast faith to go against. She watched him eagerly, her very heart crying out for the sick child, whose last chance for recovery was being stolen by this crowd of women using up all the oxygen in the room when it was the most necessary thing for her recovery. The chief made his decision quickly. He overruled the women's protests and drove them from the but, leaving the opening wide. Lucille opened her mouth, laving her throat, with the intoxicating air that drove out the odors the congestion had left behind. Then she turned her attention to the child. Day and night Lucille administered to the girl, now encouraged at a dim nution of the fever, now downcast at discouraging symptoms. All she had to work with were the natural weapons which nature leaves to the hands of the sensible nurse. Where the patient had been fed meat, Lucille made a broth; where witch doctors had stimulated a weakened heart and system, she soothed. And so much depended upon the little brown girl. If she recovered then Lucille knew she would have made no mean friend in the grim chief who called daily to watch his daughter for a few moments, then, without a word, would disappear. And friends meant so much to her now. It was such a task she had laid out for herself, the way was no stormy and beset with thorns. But she could not lose. She must get back to Manila and clear her sweetheart of the charge against him. It was on the eighth day she was quenched from one of the maps she THE WEDDING A In the Village of the Savages THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND: VIRGINIA. Lucille's Elephant. assigned to her, she felt certain relief at knowing the man was about. Vagantly she had dreaded his coming before but always had she thought it inevitable that he would come upon her. She knew him too well to hangup he could have survived his ship's fire and still have track of the papers for which he had fought so hard. And the diary with his life's story, his mapped out scheme of revenge the picture of the woman he loved which he had kept so many years. No, she had always felt that the man was far from defeated even though the belt had been thrown away long since and the contents transferred to a bag she carried next her heart. Times there were when she would have fled from the place in a sudden hit of hysteria induced by thinking of the urgency for the information in her possession being in Manila. Cooler thought always made her grapple with the impulse for hate and place herself in the hands of this superior power which had looked after her through such startling happenings. If the international spy was at work—and at work she knew he assuredly was, now he had booed her—why did he not strike? That was the hardest part of her stay in the village—the constant strain of waiting for the inevitable. It was the fourth day that her attention was irresistibly drawn to a native whose facial traits differed so materially from those of any of the men she had seen about the village that she studied him more closely. The man was seated, cross legged, upon a log just a little distance beyond the village. His eyes were narrow silted that emitted sharp slants of evil light when they fell upon her, a light that frightened her and made her turn horribly back toward her but. She had not made over twenty steps before an unseen menace cast its shadow upon her heart. Though who could hear nothing, she knew unconsciously that the man was following her at such a pace he was obviously doing so for a purpose. Slowly, relentlessly, the pit pat of the native's feet came to her. She halted and whirled upon him. The slits of eyes met her own and she read there the light of an unconquerable purpose. Her lips opened but no words would come. Cautiously, stealthily he advanced upon her. There was a deathlike coldness about him that reminded her of the one she knew to be his master. She could feel the glitter of his eyes, could read the meaning in the terrible hands which were outstretched toward her. There seemed nothing to do, no way out of his clutches. She tried to shriek, but felt the sounds strangling in her throat. Her fingers encountered the slender golden threads that wound the amulet about her neck. She ripped at them as though they had caused her fright. And then everything became more distinct, more astonishing. For, with a little grap of fright, the menacing figure dropped flat upon the ground, dropped before her. For a second she thought the man was dead, then her eyes widened with astonishment as slowly, with face turned always down, the man crawled in a wrigling motion suggestive of a ankle, back, back, back, until his body was lost in the tangle of shrubbery where she had come across him first, only a awaying of the leaves there, an occasional crackling of twigs betraying the fact that such a one had ever existed. Lucille stared straight ahead of her. The terror that had fallen upon her was too great for immediate relief. Again her fingers sought her throat, falling upon the amulet which the grateful chief had presented to her and immediately she realised what had saved her from the man. Perhaps it was the shock from her encounter with the strange native that made her slumber light, for the sound was very faint that wakened Lattice from the dome into which she family had fallen. Like the rippling of a breeze through the leaves it waned, and got something envelopes about it brought Her bolt upright in bed, her every fec- city alert. Gradually she made out that it came from immediately over her head. The noise ceased abruptly. Started at the suddenness of it, she looked at the spot from which the last noise had come, then, with a shriek of horror, her eyes followed the steady, graceful reptile that seemed to grow from out the very roof of the thatched but, its body wavering longer and longer before her horror stricken eyes, its flat head moving in all directions, two little threads continually flickering from out its hideous mouth. With a wild scream of terror she darted through the hot opening, heaving a sigh of relief at feeling the warm, clean air of the foil of doors upon her check after the foilid atmosphere which the snake intruder had seemed to bring with him. There at the outskirts of the village she fought against her terror. Fighting against herself, against everything female in her nature, she forced herself back to the but. And then a great feeling of relief engulfed her, for the snake was gone. But the but was in wild disorder.

Not an inch of its surface but had been covered carefully in the disruption. No snake had brought about this confusion. Lucille smiled to herself. Hugo Loubeque was the man who had frightened her so artfully. But she still had the papers. CHAPTER VI. Loubeque Watches a Tiny Flame. HUGO LOUBEQUE sat in the hat which his native had thrown up for him, his eyes filled with a somber light. Now and then they would shift toward the squatting, evil faced native, in the corner. Loubeque's thoughts were upon the girl, Lactille, who had thwarted him so many times. He was only just beginning to realize that destiny was working in her behalf, protecting her from him, urging her on to the desperate chances she had already taken, giving her courage and confidence to go even further than she had already. Was it possible that he, could fail, could be beaten by this pretty alip of a girl, no more than out of her teens; he, who judging nations to be no stronger than the weakest individual, had brought about the wreck of nations; he, who had worked through the civilized and uncivilized world to prepare himself for his great act of vengeance and always worked successfully, should finally deal the culminating blow against his enemy only to find this fragile Lucille more than counteracting his sturdest efforts? "I shall regain the papers from her," he told himself. "But how? At times in pondering the question he would grow no enraged that he thought of taking them from her by sheer force. But always there was her face, the face of her mother whom he had loved, still loved in memory, to also up and deter him. No, she must be tricked into disclosure of the precious documents herself. That she carried them upon her person he knew. The scheme he had worked out through the evil eyed native he had picked up in the jungle and frightened into superstitions awe and implicit obedience had shown him that much. The big snake working his sinister length through the thatched roof of her furt had frightened her away a sufficiently long time for him to make a search as permitted of no hiding place for them. His native had brought him word of the way Lincoln had saved the chief's daughter from death and in consequence been presented with the sacred amulet of the country. He realized that the ignorant savages regarded her as something in the nature of a delity. They would permit no harm to befall her so long as she remained with them. Night had long since fallen when he stirred from his motionless position, before the somber light was burned from his eyes by the kindling flame of action. While no visible symbol betrayed exultation, there was a stealthy surreence to his stride that showed he was about to work, that the time for reflection was past. "Get up!" he told his savage follower. The native swiftly rose and waited his commands. Feat still lay heavily upon him because of his two failures, and he was willing to dare anything now, risk even the profanation of the sacred amulet, rather than face again the flame of this man's wrath, this man be had stumbled across upon the beach and who, though helpless, had spent at him further than his blow pipe could carry and delivered the anger as he held it entrapped in his mouth, gripping with confidence. the man. A small glittering thing of metal was the weapon of this man, yet he had seen a giant lion drop dead when his master raised it and threw its barking voice of orange fame through it. Swiftly Loubeque strode through the tinky blackness of the jungle that bemed them in until he came to a carefully penetrable wall of creepers, swinging like giant hammocks between the trees, twisting and writting about themselves in hopeless confusion, all deriving sustenance from the stunted trunks to which they clung. More like great ropes of corded hemp they were than anything else, their thick surface covered with fuzzy hairs. It was the creeper Loubeque had noticed the native using when he wished to start the night's fire, twibbling about a hard, sharp pointed stick against the unyielding surface of the creeper till the friction started flame. Now he pointed to the wall of creepers, indicating how much he wished. But half an hour suffered to satisfy the spy, and, without more than a nod, he turned and moved swiftly back to the hut. There he superintended the splicing of the sections of creepers and binding together in such fashion they should make a rope fully 100 feet long. The last fragment of the material was used, and he started at the glant coll speculatively. At a curt word of command, "Go!" the native glided noiselessly from the hut, one end of the rope in his hand. Foot by foot, a coll at a time, the pile of creeper before the international any unfolded itself, the while he prevented any knotting. The heap upon the but floor had almost disappeared before the constant vibrations ceased and he knew the savage had finished his part of the work. He was still smiling, grimly now, when the native returned, and he commanded him to fire the end that was within the hut. Then Hugo Loubeque stepped swiftly out the opening and strode along the line of creeper rope that wound like some 'unbelievable monstrous serpent through the lush grass and shrubbery until he came within a few yards of Lucille's but He halted, screening himself from the chance observation of some prowling native by hiding in the shadow of a great tree that faced her shode. From far away, back in the direction from which he had just come there in the blackness of the jungle tip, a strange winking star seemed suddenly to twinkle upon the ground, fade for a moment, then dance swiftly forward toward him. At times the flame would appear to waver, to be extinguished, but always it would reappear again, having made brave progress during the time of its apparent extinction. Hugo Loubeque suddenly stirred to animation. Noeless as any cat despite his bulk, he moved toward the girl's but, securing the end of the creeper and tossing it upon the thatched roof. Then once more he took up his position in the shadow of the adjacent tree. He waited, fixed in every nerve and shine of his frame, for the result of his stratagem. And always the flame crept closer, coming more swiftly now. One arm thrown carelessly over her head, with slightly倾卧 lips, Lucille slept upon her bed of rushes. She dreamed of her lover, Lieutenant Gibson, and of the happy time when she should clear him of the charge against him. Some premonition of evil whikened her, caused her to start bolt upright upon the rushes, her every sense alert, her ears fairly peaked with the tenness of her listening. Her first thought was for the little sack in which she carried the stolen papers and orders as well as the photograph of her mother and the diary which Hugo Loubeque had secreted in the oiled belt. Hurriedly, she clutched the bag, slipping to the floor and listening. This time a rustling, rushing sound came from directly above her. A leering roof of yellowish flame glowed at her from the place where the thatched roof had been. For the fraction of a second she could not sit before the awful menace. Then as a long tongue of flame reached out to ward the wall and embraced it, feeding there a second before another flame joined it and in seeping quarrel reached at the same spot, her brain dominated the situation. With a wild shriek for assistance she darted toward the opening, feeling the hot breath of the flames high shrivelling her as she left it behind. From every hut poured, the natives, stopping to stare about them for a second before darling toward the hut, which had developed into a connelike burst of flame, roaring menacingly, furiously. Lucille was unconscious of everything for a moment save that she had escaped the flames. Then something caused her to return. From behind a great tree she saw the figure of a man moving swiftly toward her. He made no sound as he approached; neither could she see his face for the background of thick shadow behind him. But there was an ominousness of purpose about his very movement, about the long, gliding shadow of him, that told her instinctively who it was. Simultaneously with the knowledge she became aware of the precious sack in her hand. She made as though to flee but something horrible about the advancing man deterred her, made her realize. She felt herself yielding finally to the inevitable. There could be no possible thwarting of such a one as Hugo Loubeque, no chance for her, a frail, weak girl, to thwart this man. With a little cry of despair she started to flee. He was almost upon her when a tall, half naked figure darted to her side. She reached out instinctively and, clutched the friendly bare arm. And then she hugged the sack with the papers and diary to her beaten and her lips moved silently. Hugo Loubeque had disappeared—disappeared as silently, as mysteriously, as eminently as he had appeared. But, thwarted, the man only moved to sturge more cunning, more desperate reunion. The people of her unwieldy kingdom were THE "Go! " he told the native. must just risk such a chance again. She must leave this place, must trust no longer to those people for protection, must trust herself no longer to the fate that seemed so constantly to look after her. She must hide herself away from the master eye of the spy. Where? It made no difference. She must hide herself—naway. That was all. All through the remainder of the night Paciello clung to the child she had nursed through her illness. And now the situation between the pair was reversed and she, the competent white woman, became the child, while the little brown savage sat beside her silently all through the night, her hand chasing the trembling one. Sleep was out of the question. There could be no sleep while the mighty argy drogged her steps, knew where she was. Morning came and passed, the sun striking obliquely down upon the village before she dared even sit outside the hut, the little daughter of the chief at her side, silent and shy, but always comforting by her presence. Laurelle felt a great desolation upon her, a sense of fighting a useless battle that day. A mighty wave of nostalgia seized her in his grip and she felt she could willingly give over everything to be back in Munila. But the thought of Loubeque made her pause. She would yet prove to him that under her fragility was a composition which had needed but the ordeal of love dazed, to turn it into steel, a steel against which even such a one as Hugo Loubeque might hurt himself in vain." "But I must get away from here," she told herself. She determined to get away immediately. There was pothing to gain and everything to lose by remaining here. Primarily she wished to find some method of getting back to civilization. The papers meant nothing to any one save Louiseque here, and Louiseque knew where she was and his unappurposed brain would find a method of gaining them. She must get away. She was quite positive some difficulty would present itself in making an escape from the native friends who had fairly isolated her from the moment of the child's recovery. But they should be easily eluded. CHAPTER VII. N going into the little street she noticed the chief in earnest conference with his daughter and an old native woman whom Luclie had no recollection of seeing about the village before. Had she but known this was but another servile tool of Hugo Loubeques' what future dangers she might have been saved? Coming closer, she knew that it was a stranger. Moreover, from the light upon the crone's wrinkled countenance and the furious gesticulations she made toward her she felt that she was the object of controversy. And the daughter of the old chief seemed adding her pleas to those of the old woman with effect. Lucille stood a little apart, watching the conference as it disbanded. She had picked up enough of the language to make out an occasional word, but the gestures of the three had been unmistakable. She wailed quietly while the trio approached her, feeling that in some way the problem that had been harassing her was so answered without further worry on her part. She smiled at the chief's efforts to make her understand what he desired of her, smiled and shook her head as the withered old woman made an equally unsuccessful attempt. But the little girl took the situation in hand. Without much difficulty Lucille made out from the child that the old woman came from a chief greater than her father, who lived in a village not far distant; that the wonder of her curative ability had reached his ears, and be earnestly prayed the white woman be loaned his own wife for a nurse, that she might be cured of an illness which seemed certain to be fatal. Lucille saw from the glum expression on the old chief's face that, even though it might bring him into trouble with his neighbor chief, he was more than loath to part with her. She also saw that the child, with the remembrance of her own illness fresh upon her, had allowed her heart to go out to the wife in such sympathy that she had pernaded her father to permit the loaning. Her heart gave, a great throb of delight at this unexpected answer to her prayer. She had known there would be trouble getting away with the papers just as she had determined that she must leave. There was no doubt his memory was strong. and, while it was meager, sustained anything was better than the strain of knowing impossibility. Anything appealed to her no long as it embraced a change, for change spelled renewed hope. Then, too, Hugo Loubeuse would be, temporarily at least thrown off the trail. In an hour she had mounted the chiefs' own horse, her very soul rejoicing at the familiar feel of an easy canter. Beside her rode the old woman, mumbling continually to herself as though she were keeping track of the defies turns in the wilderness of vegetation through which their way led. Once Lucille was conscious of a vague feeling of mistrust as she looked back at the squat figure of the old woman ambling along stolldy as some heathen idol, only her ratlike eyes emitting flashes of fire between the layers of wrinkled, brown, drooping lids. Faster, faster she urged her horse so she saw'n cigar stretch of trall opening before her, her-hand continually reaching up and feeling the precious burden about her neck. Then she looked back for her escort, when the ground seemed to grow soft, to slip up from under her mount's hoofs and send her hurtling down-down-down—she knew not where nor why—down into blackness at which her hands clutched vainly, clutching nothing from the dark—down into a blackness that seemed stitting her until it reached up and mercifully compassed her consciousness. Hugo Loufeque curtly dismissed the withered crone who handed him the neck containing the documents Lacaille had worn about her neck. In his eyes glowed no light of triumph. First they had lighted with a strange relief, but now they seemed fastened upon a memory filled with vague regret as he visualized the girl, lying helpless at ```markdown ``` Lucille at the Door of Her Hut. the bottom of the pit he had caused his native to dig across the trail. Suddenly he sprang to his feet, once more the man of action. Pity this girl, daughter of the woman he loved, he might, but she was not the sort to lie supine while he made away with the papars for which she had gone through so much already. Suddenly he tore open the bag, dumping the contents out before him and running through them nervously. When he looked up the light of disappointment, almost fear, was upon his face. The amulet, the sacred amulet which had served her so well, would continue, to serve her so well as long as she continued in this land, was still in her possession. He had failed to tell the crone to steal that also. And the old woman had reported that she was merely stunned. The sacred amulet which would make her revered by any savage she chanced to meet was still hers, while he, Hugo Loubeque, would find every hand against him. He moved swiftly now, preparing for his long journey through the jungle, away from her zealous pursuit and toward possible relief, for so long as he remained here Lucille had every one for friend and assistant, while he had only those he might gain through fear. Lucille attired, opened her eyes in bewilderment, unable to piece together any connection between the black hole in which she found herself and the narrow trail through the jungle along which she had urged her horse. Gradually it all came back to her. Her hands sought her bosom, and, with a little groan of utter misery, she gave way to uncontrollable sobs. The reaction did her good, worked wonders with her. 'In that spell of self pity father, home, sweetheart, everything, was forgotten before the horror of her own predicament. Finished with it, she gathered every faculty, mental and physical, and scrambled to her feet. Above her as she lifted her eyes she made out a streak of light, threaded between alles of dense leafiness—the sun piercing home into the jungle. She moved forward, her hands before her, groping. Something soft and motionless and so still it caused her to shudder met the toe of her boot. She drew back in swift alarm, knowing it to be the body of the horse she had ridden, a great feeling of gratfulness at her own escape from a similar fate warming her through and through. Mastering the innate repulsion within her, she stepped upon the corpse, her hands reaching up and finding the smooth edge of the hole that had been dug across the roadway to entrap her. Her fingers found the roots of a tree roots so stout they here her weight. For a moment she waited, gathering her falling strength for the supreme effort. Then she sprung up, gathering her knen under her, relaxing slightly before putting forward every ounce of her strength and drawing himself to the warm surface of the road. ```markdown ``` Within it, suckling at one one's very vitala. The chatter of monkeys and the shrieks of birds filled the air. But no odds how bleak the prospect, how forlorn the hope, one always feels courage renewed when when has just glimpped a greater danger and averted it. Lucille had known within the quarter hour the horror of blindness, and her heart leaped high with joy at being able to see these things. In this same jungle, with her, in quite as bad a predicament, was Hugo Loubeque, and with Hugo Lobeque were the papers she had fought so hard to recover. She spoke aloud, her voice trilling a note so foreign to this black abode that even the animal life was aliened in amazes. "He shall not keep the papers long" were her words. The thought braced her as would a douse of cold water. To right, to left, before her and behind was naught but jungle. Which way should she turn to come across the international spy? She felt the amulet about her neck with nervous, plucking fingers, as though seeking to read the answer there. Safety lay behind, back along the trail in the village of the chief who had so reluctantly permitted her to answer the trumped up message from his neighbor. But she did not wish safety. She wanted the papers and civilization. In which direction to go she must leave to the power that had guided her steps so far, but she knew she must make quick choice. --- As though her question was to be answered for her, she noticed the character of the monkeys suddenly changing, observed a wild alarm in their voices, and, looking up, saw a host, an army of them, huddled close together, then slipping swiftly in wild disorder from tree to tree. Ludlie felt a thrill of something more than uneasiness coming upon her as she stared into the blackness to make out the reason for their alarm. Swiftly she shrank back before the blazing balls of fire that were fastened upon her from the heavy wall of vines and creepers. Again that crockling of twigs, this time in greater volume, and where before but one pair of wild eyes had stared at her there were now many eyes. She recollected the fires her savage friends had built of nights that the jungle beasts might not disturb them. But she had no means of lighting a fire. She was alone, with nothing to assist her save her own ingenuity. She retreated slowly, fear hanging upon her feet, holding her back even as low growls indicated that her retreat was observed and would probably be taken for a sign of fear. At the sound the trees were shaken violently by another rush of the little tree men. It gave her an idea instantly. Even as the eyes grew miraculously into long, graceful bodies, Lacie reached up and grasped the thick walls of creepers dangling from a giant trunked tree. Came a rush so silent and sure foreshed she could hear but the faint put, put of the leopard's feet, followed by a heavy click of jaws. Instinctively she drew her feet up under her and, fear lending impetus to her movements, clambered swiftly up the vines until the welcome crotch of the tree supported her. Higher and higher she climbed until the terrifying sight of the leopards encircling the tree was shut from her eyes by the heavy foliage beneath, climbed until her muscles ached, climbed until even the crunching of twigs beneath failed to reach up to her. Above her flickered a myriad of stars. Like peepholes in some great theater curtain they were through which the master player might watch what was going on in his world. They thrilled Lucille with their familiarity. So long she had been here in this jungle she seemed to have forgotten the existence of stars, regarded them as old friends. These same stars that looked down upon her now were looking down upon Manila, upon her father, upon her sweet heart. These same stars were candles of truth that would not could not, unblushingly look upon such a disaster as threatened her being consummated. And then her eyes were halted, stayed in their review of the stars by the sight of a long, thin spiral of smoke rising and reaching up toward the stars in wispy fragility. It came from miles to the westward. But Lucille knew that smoke for fire and the fire to be that lighted by human handa, [TO BE CONTINUED.] G. O. P. Victorles-Please Taft. New Haven, Conn., Nov. 4.—Former President Taft expressed himself on the result of the election as follows: "I am very much pleased to hear the good news of a Republican victory. I earnestly hope that it will help business and tend to restore confidence incidentally it seems to relegate the Progressive party and its leaders to innocuous desouthe. I am reconciled to this result." Cannon Elected to Congress. Danville, Ill., Nov. 4.—Joseph Cannon, Republican, former speaker of the house, was elected to congress by 3500 majority over O'Hara, the Democratic incumbent. Gore Goes Back to Senate. Oklahoma City, Okla., Nov. 4.—Banister Thomas P. Gore, Democrat has been returned by a good majority to the United States Senate. G. u. P. SWEEPS PENNSYLVANIA Republican Candidates Sweep the State With Pluralities of 200,000 or More. Philadelphia, Nov. 4.—The Republicans made a clean-up in the election in Pennsylvania. Aided by the great anti-Democratic sentiment prevalent in the state, as well as in the remainder of the country, it regained much of its old-time power in political affairs, and elected its state candidates, as follows: United States senator—Boles Penrose. Governor—Martin G. Brumbaugh. Leutenant governor—Frank B. McClain. Secretary of internal affairs—Henry Houck. Congressmen-at-large—John R. K. Scott, Daniel F. LaFean, Mablon M. Garland and Thomas S. Crago. Brumbaugh's majority for the governorship over Vance C. McCormick, Democratic-Washington party nominee, probably is in excess of 200,000. Penrose will have a plurality of equal size over his nearest opponent, as the vote against him was divided between Gifford Pinchot, Washington party candidate, and A. Mitchell Palmer, Democratic nominee. Judge Frank M. Trexler, the appointee of Governor Toner on the bench of the state superior court, backed by the Republicans, is elected by a big majority over James E. Clark, temperance candidate, on the non-partisan ticket. Only one candidate supported by the Republicans may have fallen by the wayside—Judge Robert S. Frazer, slated for justice of the state supreme court. He may be defeated on the nonpartisan ballot by Judge George Kunkel, of Dauphin county, who won a reputation some years ago by the manner in which he presided over the capitol graft cases. The Republicans sweep up the congressional delegation of the state, gaining possibly fifteen seats over the present Republican representation in congress. The political division of the delegation now is eighteen Republicans, twelve Democrats and six Progressives. In the new congress the Republican members from Pennsylvania may total twenty-eight and the Democratic membership four. JERSEY DEMOCRATIC Have Elected Eight of the Twelve Candidates For Congress. Trenton, N. J., Nov. 4. -- Returns from the New Jersey election indicate the election by the Democrats of eight of their twelve candidates for congress, five of the eight candidates for the state senate and a safe majority of the house of assembly. This will retain them in majority in both branches of the legislature; but shows a loss of three congressmen, there being but two Republicans in the present house.

Miller, Republican, was elected as Delaware only representative in congress over Franklin Brockson, ... Democrat, the present incumbent, by a plurality throughout the state that will exceed 600. The legislature will probably be close. The Republicans will also elect Swain, Republican, as state treasurer, and Duff, Republican, as state auditor. The Vote In Arkansas. Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 4.—Arkansas voted for members of congress only. Two results follow: United States senator, James P. Clarke, Dem. Congressmen—First district, T. H.

A six-foot ballot which contained constitutional amendments and a number of laws referred to popular vote has made the counting very slow. It is impossible to make any estimate upon the final result. Howell, Republican, is making substantial gains over two years ago, but these are not steady enough to indicate the victor. The first precinct returns on woman suffrage point to the defeat of the amendment. Arizona Democratic. Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. 4.—There was of a Democratic sweep in Arizona.

Walsh has barely squeezed through for re-election over Samuel W. McCall, the Republican nominee. Walsh has a plurality of about 15,000, while a year ago he led Charles S.

Returns from the congressional districts are incomplete, but show that the Republicans have held all their present seats and added three more—in the Eighth, Eleventh and Sixteenth districts—and have prospects of winning also in the Thirteenth and Fourteenth districts. The legislature is Republican by an increased majority. INDIANA·IS CLOSE Returns Show Big Gains For Governor All Over. State.

By that time word had come to him that Whitman, was elected governor, that Davenport was running behind and that Colby and other Progressives were making a poor showing in the state. "So Whitman has won!" said the colonel, and he repeated the sentence musingly. "Was it the religious issue?" Then suddenly he said: "I have nothing to say, absolutely nothing." When the outlined reports of the various state elections were read to the colonel, including Penrose's victory in Pennsylvania, he summed it up as follows: "It seems to me that the Republicans are winning in the east and the Democrats in the west. I always go to bed early on election night," he added. WILSON VOTED IN PRINCETON President Takes Just Two Minutes to Prepare His Ballot. Princeton, N. J., Nov. 1.—President Woodrow Wilson paid a hurried visit to Princeton and for the second time since his election to the presidency voted the straight Democratic ticket in the quaint little firehouse of Mercor Engine company, No. 2, of the volunteer fire department. He was given ballot No. 89 when he entered the polling place on Chambers street. After spending two minutes by actual count, carefully marking his ballot in the little booth designed for that purpose, he came out and handed the folded paper to R. H. Rose, the judge of election. "Ballot No. 89 is voted," announced Mr. Rose, in due accordance with the strict New Jersey election laws. The president smiled broadly. "Not 89, but 79," he said, referring to the class with which he graduated from Princeton thirty-five years ago. CALIFORNIA IN DOUBT Progressive Probably Elected Governor and Republican U. S. Senator. nor and Republican U. S. Senator. San Francisco, Nov. 4. The result in California is still in doubt, but Hiram Johnson, Progressive, appears to be elected governor, with Fredericks, Republican, second, and Curtin, Democrat, third. Indications are that the prohibition amendment will be defeated. Joseph Knowland, Republican, I probably elected United States senator over D. Pholan, Democrat, with Honey, Progressive, third. Underwood Elected U. S. Senator. Birmingham, Ab. Nov. 4. The full Democratic state ticket, a solid Democrat delegative to congress and Oscar W. Underwood to the United States senate is elected. Efforts were made in the seventh congressional district by the opposition to defeat Congressman Burnett, but he had a majority over both the Republican and Progressive candidates. Republicans have a few members of legislature, but the number has been reduced. George Hutcheston, an attorney of Birmingham, succeeds Oscar W. Underwood as congressman from the Ninth district. G. O. P. Landslide in Vermont. Burlington, Vt. Nov. 4. The two Republican candidates for congress have carried the election by an over- whelming majority. The entire Rep- ublican state ticket headed by C. W. Gates, of Franklin, swept the state. The senatorial contest has ap- parently been won by Dillingham, Republican, over Pretty, Democrat and Progressive. Senator Stone Re-Elected St. Louis, Mo. Nov. 4. — Senator William J. Stone's election to the United States senate over Thomas J. Akins, of St. Louis, is assured. The Democratic claims of 50,000 plurality for Stone will be borne out. Eleven constitutional amendments confusing the voters has made the returns un- usually slow. Indications are that the suffrage amendment has been defeat ed decisively. The Progressive vot was light.

Bassom Slemp has been reelected congressman from the Ninth District of Virginia by about fifteen hundred plurality. This emphasizes the fact that the Ninth District knows what it wants and the brand on it is not democracy. JOHN CLEMENTS' CASE When a Henrice county jury acquits a colored man of a charge of criminal assault upon a white woman, he is not only innocent, but there is not even the grounds for a suspicion of guilt. We make this remark for the reason that we know about Henrice county and also about the people who reside within its borders. There is much about the thou-nault case that has never been brought to the light of day in a court room and it is best that the matter should end right where the jury placed it. The whole case though presents some aspects which will make the average colored man of respectability hope and we might add grace. Prayers would or should be said in behalf of those fair minded whitenem who have been prominent in this case. It is asserted that a white citizen of Hefner county, who with held his name was forward in securing counsel to defend John Clementa and then came that patriotic, devout justice loving Roman Catholic priest, Rev. Charles F. Hanigan, who has never faltered in doing what he believed to be right. It is asserted too that the counsel for this hapless, wayward colored man served him free of charge. We have no record in the history of the State of a similar sacrifice on the part of justice-loving white people. There are few people, who believe that Miss Fannie Chancell could have stayed in the woods two hours with a colored man or with a white one either for that matter, without an out-cry and submitting to his wishes, while during the intervals, her assailant lighted cigarettes and talked with her, without her knowing just who the 'man was. Samuel Thompson of South Carolina is now sleeping out in Potter's Field as a result of one of her alleged descriptions. Some people have been charitable enough to make the suggestion that Miss Chenault be sent to a sanitarium. The care is bad enough at its best and it will teach a lesson hereabouts for a long time to come. Colored people have no cause though to feel any antipathy to the white people. Hundreds of them took an interest in the matter and public sentiment, so far as we have been able to observe was in favor of John Clements. Colored people feel a bitter antipathy towards any colored man, even charged with rape, and especially with raping a white woman. The entire colored community suffers as a result of such charges and the host of our colored citizens are liable to auspicion by unthinking white females, who imagine they are a leering colored man's face at every street-corner. We have never been able to understand why colored men should even want white women, with the tens of thousands of colored ones of all shapes and colors. They run from the languid gazelle kind to the Humpty Dumpty sort, and no one knows this better than some of the lascivious white men, who are casting long eyes at them. The outlook is brighter now. John Clements' acquittal clears the atmosphere so to speak and Miss Fannie Cheesuit can now secure the retirement that she so much needs. She must answer to her God for having been indirectly responsible for the death of one colored man and the di- rect cause of placing another within the shadow of the electric chair, from which kind-hearted white citizens and loyal colored ones rescued him. Some day conditions will improve, and, some day all of us shall receive our reward. In His own time, our God will pity us and as a race, with His own ill-y-white hand, wipe all of the tears from our eyes. PROGRESSIVE PARTY GONE. We never had any doubt, but what "the Progressive Party, under the leadership of Hon. Theodore Roosevelt was "riding for a fall." It had become a negative Party bent on a mission of revenge. The people understood the situation. Col. Roosevelt was badly treated at Chicago and that the people of the country sympathized with him went without saying after the terrible rebuke administered to the Republican party in the campaign, immediately following. But the punishment of the Party and its managers was not intended to carry with it death as he seemed to think. He and his associates seemed to be bent upon its absolute destruction and the substitution therefor another Party. In making out the platform he permitted all of the other "lams" to come in and to make up a platform mixture so foreign to that approved by the rank and file of the Republican Party that amalgamation of the two parties was out of the question and the entrance into of the regular Republicans who sympathized with the brilliant New Yorker was also impossible. The sycophants who bowed at the Roosevelt shrine would not tell him the truth and he refused to see it for himself. As a result, he overestimated his own importance and underestimated the political foresight of his opponents who were making moderate concessions to those Republicans, who had temporarily cast their lot with the Progressive Party. The result is soon told for both Col. Roosevelt and his Party are now masked as flat as the proverbial pancake. Even where the primary system had been brought into play, the old line Republicans have been returned to power. THE ELECTION. The election last Tuesday resulted in a regular tidal wave victory for the Republican Party. New York has returned to the Republican column by a plurality of nearly one hundred and thirty-five thousand. Ohio has also gone Republican and as for Pennsylvania, it shows a plurality of about two hundred thousand. The United States Senate and House of Representatives are still Democratic, but they look as though they had been swept by a political cyclone. The return of Hon. Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois and Hon. Boles Portuse is especially significant, indicating that the old Hine Republicans will soon be in charge of the Party again. President Woodrow Wilson and his party managers are largely responsible for the result. All of them should remember that the people remember pre-collection promises. The distinguished citizen of New Jersey should remember that he declared the tariff to be the cause of the high cost of living and he proceeded to reduce the tariff. The cost of living went upward instead of downward, and the mills and factories of the country began to throw men out of employment automatically. President Wilson then declared that the trusts were responsible for the high prices. That there were combinations in restraint of trade and he proceeded to dissolve these combinations by legal process. The result was that the increase of prices in every thing that entered into the cost of living was" noticeable. The rich continued to live easy and the laboring man began to live "harder." More legislation was enacted and, business interests were strained to the breaking point. It was then decided to place the burden on the rich people by the levying of an income tax, not only upon the rich, but those of moderate means. When this was worked out, it was discovered that it not extending its benign benefits to the wage-earner, enough money would not be realized and this deficiency was made up by the levying of a so-called War Tax, when there was no war in this country and this tax affected the high and the low and the rich and the poor. In the meantime, the high cost of living remained high and the low cost of living has not as yet come into sight. All of this occurred prior to an election and the people, who were angry at the beginning of the year became angrier at the end of it. With the opportunity to express themselves, they sent in a note of warning which has reverberated from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Canada to the 'Gulf. A change is demanded and that the next President of the United States will be named by the next National Republican Convention goes without saying. 20TH. ANNIVERSARY EXERCISE The 25th.

HOW TO PREPARE BEETS. Various Ways of Cooking This Seasonable Vegetable. Here is a new dish that combines two sometimes unattractive vegetables in a most interesting manner. Cut freshly boiled beets in two and bottom out the leaves. In this cavity place a spoonful of creamed spinach and serve hot. The same combination can also be prepared as a galal. The spinach in this case should not be creamed, simply boiled and chopped and seasoned with a French dressing, and the beets holding it should be set in white lettuce leaves. Cream of beef soup is an unusual as it is delicious. To make it chop well cooked beets fine and simmer a caput of them in a pint of mutton stock for fifteen minutes. Then rub them through a sleeve. Mix two teaspoonfuls of flour with two of butter and add to the mutton stock—and beet purée. Heat thoroughly, stirring constantly, and add to a pint of hot milk. Season with salt and pepper and serve hot. A delicious relish is made of equal parts of grated horseradish prepared with vinegar and chopped boiled beets mixed together. Creamed beets can be prepared in this way: Slice boiled beets into a saucepan and moltenen with a little clear stock. Beat the yolk of an egg with a cupful of cream and slowly add it to the beets. Stir carefully all the time until the sauce is thick and then serve immediately. Beets in chardreuse are prepared in this way: Cut boiled beets in quarter inch slices and cut half as many slices of onion as there are beets. Put a slice of onion between two slices of beet in sandwich fashion and season lightly with salt, pepper and a little vinegar. Dip each sandwich in fritter batter and fry in deep fat. Drain on brown paper and serve piping hot. Small whole beets or slices of larger beets can be used to garnish salads and cold meat dishes. They must, however, be used somewhat sparingly. A little beet goes a long way. Small beet dices ranged neatly about a mold of veal aspic, for instance, are good. A good beet salad is this: Boll beets and remove the tops. Allow one beet for each person to be served. Stand them on white lettuce leaves and hollow out the centers with a silver spoon. Chop the whites of hard boiled eggs and crumble the yolks. Mix the chopped whites, cold boiled or canned peas and mayonnaise together and fill the hollow beets. Garnish with the crumbled yolks. : PAINTED FURNITURE How to Amuse Yourself During Vacation. Old fashioned cottage furniture painted in colors is being brought to light again. Black furniture painted with colored decorations is coming to the fore in the general craze for black and white. Here is a chance for the home artist, who tries her skill on the backs of chains, table tops and cabinet fronts. This painted furniture is particularly suited to the summer cottage, and the decoration will give vacation employment to the artistic members of the family, who will add baskets of fruit and floral sprays, according to taste. Old furniture painted gray with pink roses transferred to the drawers would be a pleasing innovation and could be used in the winter house also. Opening an Oyster "The Cook's Oracle," a book which was never far from the kitchens of our great-mothers, is very precise in its direction as to the proper manner of preserving and eating oysters, says an English journal. "The true lower of an oyster," writes the enthusiastic author, "will have some regard for the feelings of his little favorite and will never slander it to the mercies of a bungling operator, but will open it himself and contrive to detach the dash from the shell so dexterously that the oyster is hardly conscious he has been ejected from his lodging till he feels the teeth of the plastrorous gourmand itching him to death."

Stokes, Pastor, Scott C. Burroll, Gen. Soc. Stauaton (Va.) Notes. Nov. 2. 1914. hev, J. C. Austin, D. D. pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church of Staunton, Va. who wag some time ago called to the pastorate of the Mt. Jerreel Baptist Church, of Washington D. C., on Oct. the 26th, pursuant to accepting the Washington call, he offered his resignation as pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church of Staunton Va. to the combined official Board of the church. With all but unanimity of expression any member of the Broad protested any suggestion of considering any proposition whosoever wished ward resigning his pastorate of Mt. Zion Baptist Church of this place. Never-the-less though — painfully grieved by our beloved pastor's unexpected, unprepared for resignation the Board presented the same on Oct. 28th, to the regular Church meeting for its consideration. Waving all claims set out in the resignation, the church with devotion to Dr. Austin and with prayer and love for Mt. Zion unswervingly refused to accept the resignation, —but instead of granting the resignation the church with ascription voted a unanimous invitation akin to adjuration to Rev. Austin to remain with Mt. Zion as its revered pastor. We feel assured that the Dr. will not in the face of the painful petition, but in the face of theURR protest, will withdraw his resignation, and mediate with a people that loves him and are willing to do their best for his comfort and happiness. No need shamed by the wind stands in Zion, Dr. Austin is at once an evangelist pastor: "preacher and orator." In the ministry here he stands easily in the first rank. Abroad he has few superiors. During his charge in Zion which is about three years, the wonderful achievement in all that makes for church prosperity; revivals, church additions in membership, increased attendance at all services and the distinished visitation to the church and pastoral service in the church, missionary and educational spirit of the church, and marvelous inherent christian zeal and activity in the heart of Zion. All emphasize the wisdom of this our renewal of Devotion and honor for and loyalty to as well as an invitation to this man of God to abide with us still. Truly the loss to Mt. Jessef of Washington D. C. will be transient gain to Mt. Zion and if Jerzeel of Washington gained it would be a great loss to us for we cannot wisely give him up. By unanimous vote in regular church meeting upon recommendation of the regular official-business meeting. Bro. Wm. Perkin, Chairman, Trustee Board; Bro. Wm. Simi, Chairman of Deacon Board; Bro. J H.

The injured man was rushed to Memorial Hospital, where he is said to be peeing comfortably, while Carlos is being held for trial in the Henrico County Jail. He was arrested by County Omer T. W. Soay just after Ray was hurt. J. W. Reams, manager at the brick yard telephoned county authorities that the men were fighting at the brick plant, and that one of them, Ray was supposed to be fatally injured. Officer Seay in response to the message was hurrying toward the brick plant when he met three negro men coming from the place. Among them was Carlos. The officer told the three men they must go with him back to the brick yard. Two of the men agreed to return, but the third Carlos, hesitated. When the officer insisted Carles is quoted as saying, "There can't no use to go back: I'm the man you want; arrest me." He then accompanied the officer to the fall. The prisoner contends, it is understood, that he hurled the brickbat in self-defense. WAYSIDE NOTES (Rev. Richd. Carroll, Columbia S. C. I have been in the State of Virginia for two months. I am certainly impressed with the progress and in intelligence of the Colored people of Virginia. I don't know any State that has a stronger Ministry. The preachers I have met are strong men.

Brown, D. D. of the Giltfield Baptist Church, Petersburg, Va. Then I met the great preacher and business man the Rev. C. W. B. Gordon, D. D., one of the strong ministers of Petersburg. I met one of the greatest old Demonstrator I have ever seen; one of the most intelligent men. a man of the old school is Alexander Forbe of Petersburg. A great business man is Mr. Wilkerson, Undertaker of Petersburg. AN ERRATIC PHILASTHROPIST At Rohnoke I stopped with the erotic philharmonist and preacher Rev. J. M. Burks, D. D. The sweet singer and preacher. Rev. G. W. Brown of Rohnoke Revs. Pelot, Gordon, King and others. Rev. Brown is a power. I never had a better home than I had with Dr. Burks. I met other notable Negroes in Rohnoke. In Richmond I was impressed with the Ministers Conference and the initial discoveries among the Preschools. Also I met the New Testament. I heard a great debate on Baptist Doctrine from Brothers Payne and Lewis. Got acquainted with Dr. Stokes, Dr. W. T. Johnson, and others. Visited Va. U. K. Met the man mighty with his pen Jno. Mitchell, Jr. Mr. Mitchell is an extraordinary Negro. A successor business man. He is at the head of the Mechanics Savings Bank, owner and editor of the Planet. Everything he touches seems to turn to gold. One good thing about him he is absolutely fearless. Has a face of flint. Ambition and courage of Napoleon. As wike a a fox, he is hard to catch. Another good thing him he has no ring or click. Has a mind of his own. Cannot be shaken as the reed. He worships no man. Of course, he is self-conceited like most men of his kind. He believes in Jno. Mitchell, Jr. with all his heart. OTHER PROMINENT MEN. I met other prominent business men at the head of Colored business enterprises. Jno. T. Taylor, Secretary and General Manager of the Richmond Ben. Ins. Co., E. F. Johnson, a large stockholder in the same Company, Rev. J. J. Carter, Cashier and Treasurer of the Richmond Ben. Ins. Co., R. H. Peyton, Secretary and General Manager of the American Beneficial Ins. Co., and still others. My home, for the first week, was with Mr. E. F. Johnson, and I certainly felt at home. It almost caused me to forget that I was from South Carolina. There are other enterprises in Richmond I have not had time to see yet, such as the St. Louis Savings Bank, the Southern Ald Society, the Undertaking Establishment of W. I. Johnson and Sons, A. D. Price, etc. I will see them however, before I leave for South Carolina. GREAT PROGRESS. I don't believe the colored people in any State are making greater progress than they are in Virginia. And they seem to know that. They believe in themselves. There are not many places that you meet a Virginiaian, that he is not proud to say so. He is like the Charleston, S. C. Negro. They bell: ve they are the greatest people on earth. The writer is a South Carolinian, but he was born in Charleston. He happened to be born in the country, in a log cabin, and he has but little to say about his nativity. Religious campaign ends in Virginia 'the 13th of November, and I am sorry we have to leave. But it paid me to visit this grand old State. I am inspired. I have something to talk about as I travel through the South, this winter. They overshadow the 'South Carolinians, and I feel like we are 25 years behind the Negroes of Virginia. SPEAKS TO WHITE FOLKS. I have preached and lectured in two white Churches while in the state of Virginia: The first Baptist Church of Petersburg, and the first Baptist Church-of Roanoke. I don't know what they thought of my sermon, but they emailed all the way through, and some said "Amen." Some might have cursed me, but I didn't hear it. I understand that I am to speak in one white church here before we leave this city. HIDE AND THIEF. (B. Rev. W. H. Skipwith) Orange N. J. Union: Baptist Church. Rev. W. P. Lawrence, Ph. D. pastor. Few men in the Oranges have done as much, or more for God and for our denomination, than the pastor of the above named church. In the first place he believes in every aspiration that has a tendency to the uprising of our people in church; state; shelter; or woman white or black, or sinner in this city who doesn't look upon Dr. Lawrence as a Christian and an ideal Minister. His church is on the main thoroughfare and is attended by both races, as the white pastors are always glad of an opportunity to speak for him. He has a membership of over 1200 of which the greater part was very active in our meeting. The church is alive and believes in a pure and simple Gospel, every night the building was packed, over sixty souls were happily converted. Staunton, Va. Mount Zion Bishop Baptist Church, Rev. J. C. Austin B.D. pastor. We arrived in the Quocion City of the valley two weeks later and found everything in a splendid shape for a revival. This Young Evangelist pastor is surely bringing something to pass in this city and the people of Washington. He would let him alone, he will be a great help to the race and the denomination in this place. Our meeting"for men was a record breaker it is said to have been the greatest over held here, the church was packed every night, many back-alleder were reclaimed with over thirty conversions. Dr. Austin has a splendid church and a loving people. In short it's one of the best churches in the Valley. Clifton Forge Vase—First Baptist church. Rev. Thomas H. White, D. D. pastor. Only few of the brotheren in or out of the State, who are acquainted with Dr. White, really know what he has accomplished, as pastor here these thirteen years. In the First place, he found the field in a deployable condition, his predecessors did the best they could, but didn't stay long enough to accomplish much hence the last state was worst than the first. Unfortunately in the days of our Forcefathers there came a little dissatisfaction in the family which gave rise to the formation of another church better known as the Second Baptist, but as they began to multiply so did their animosity, so much so, until during the administration of the late Dr. Presley the daughter (2nd: Baptist) withdrew the hand of fellowship from her mother (First Baptist) and styled herself as the Main Street Baptist. This within itself meant a long and tedious warfare, but God's people on both sides kept on praying for right to triumph, finally the Rev. H. A. Stevens B. D. of Charlotteville Va. was called and accepted the pastorship of Main Street Baptist. RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE Dr. Stevens not knowing fully the condition of affairs until after his installation decided then and there "That if God would his leader be" this condition should no longer exist, and that he would line up with right and righteousness regardless of what took place prior to his coming. This of course met the approval of all who had been truly born by the Spirit of God, but was highly offensive to hypocrites and tricksters, so much until those who had been at variance with one another, made up and became the best of fends in order to defeat God's Army. Meetings after meetings were held but of no avail; Dr. Stevens finding that the enemies were calming ground an that the Mother church hadn't done any thing worthy of the insult caused upon her, he went into his secret closet and consulted the Great Head of the church. COMMAND RECEIVED WHILE IN CLOSET You have too many people, read up on your discipline let the people do the same; then have a reregistration, and all who meet the requirements keep. I will be with you when the roll is called. Yours, Jeocah-Shammanh This re-registration showed that a goodly number of persons who had been take'ninto its membership were illegal members, and had been taken in unbaptist: it further showed that the Mother church had excluded several, and these had joined on Christian experience which was also contrary to Baptist policy and these were the bone of contention. The church then ruled that all such persons would have to come in right or else he dropped, some preferred the former, while others the latter, the Dio was Cast'. The church then ruled that an on certain night we will go back to a joint meeting, but none will be admitted from other church but those in good and respectful standing. So on a certain night in D. 1913, the members of the Main St. Baptist church, led by its pastor Rev. H. A. Screws B. D. marched in one solid phalanx to the First Baptist and were cordially received by Doctor White and his members, both churches drew up a set of resolutions in form of a treaty of peace which were received and unanimously adopted, after which they sang, "Blist be the tio that binds etc." The coming together of these two churches was only the beginning on a new era for our people in this city in Christian work. Too much praise cannot be given to Dr. Thos. White, who has been working to see this day for twelve years, and for the part Rev. Stevens played, he ought to have gold medal, as we haven't many pastors who will take such a stance as this on entering a field, and yet this is the only best way to succeed. Our meeting was the best ever held her since it has been a Clifton Forge, because it was the first time the churches ever worked together, some of the leading and best white people of the city were frequent visitors, the spiritual tide run high and the Lord blessed us. with over thirty five convictions. We want the world, and especially the people of the state to know, that the people of Clifton Forge are together and we pray God that they may stay so until Jesus comes. Roanoke (Va.) Note.

Just what sort of conduct on the part of a policeman is a palatable offense, in the eyes of the Board of Police Commissioners, is difficult conceive, after its action in merely reprimanding the member of the force that struck a witness in Police Court the other day. Sworn not only to observe the law, but to conserve the peace, paid by the citizens to uphold the dignity of the Commonwealth, this policeman skipped the face of a woman in the very court to which he had haled her. If such practices are to be tolerated, or courteously "reprimanded," what character of discipline or respect for authority can the board expect to preserve? CONDUCTOR ARRESTED Charged With Assaulting Henry Watson in Dispute Over Car Fare. Following a distance as to whether the colored man had paid his fare, James Michaels, a conductor on the Seventeenth Street line of the Va. Railway and Power Company, was arrested last Monday night by Policeman Duffy and Talt on a charge of feloniously assaulting Henry Watson. Watson was badly cut about the mouth and Dr. Stern, of the city ambulance, had to take several alitches in his hip. Watson also alleges that Michaels offered him $15 not to prosecute the case.

At 6:50 o'clock the jury reported it had been unable to agree on a verdict and was sent back for further deliberation. The jurors again reported, at 7:50 o'clock, that they were divided and were placed in charge of Sheriff L. H. Kemp for the night. The feature of the closing hours of the case was the warm argument between opposing counsel over admission as evidence of a written statement given by Miss Chonovault to Deputy Sheriff Webb Sydnor and Captain McMahon, of the city detective force. The jury had been instructed by the court and was about to retire when Attorney Haddon, one of the three lawyers defending the negro, arrose and asked that the statement be given to the jury. SMITH PROTESTS. In an instant Attorney Smith was on his feet protesting. He said he understood that the statement was to be admitted only to contradict Miss Chenault in her testimony on the stand, and that as her narrative as a witness was not different from what she said in her written statement, he did not think the statement should go before the jury. The court ruled that the statement was evidence and could be considered by the judge in any way it saw fit. Mr. Smith then allowed to recall Miss Chenault to show that certain language used in the statement was not her's, but had been submitted by Captain McMahon. This, the court ruled, could be done, and, after the statement had been read in detail to the jury by Attorney Haddon, Miss Chennault took the stand. She said the statement was substantially correct, but point-out the words that were not employed in the statement. She did not know the meaning of some of the words attributed to her in the statement. COURTROOM CLEARED Judge Scott ordered the courtroom cleared of all spectators while Attorney Haddon read the statement to the jury. Miss Chenault remained and showed no signs of embarrassment while, the statement was being read, nor did she appear to be upset when she took the stand. Just before the case was given to the jury, Juror Thompson rose and stated to the court that they deter their hands behind their ears to the facts in the case. He suggested that a doctor be called and asked certain questions. Judge Scott ruled that he had no authority to summon additional witnesses, but that if the jury so decided would recall any witness who had been testified in the same time he held the jury. The court for it to decide was whether or not the prisoner at the bar was guilty of the crime charged in the indictment. AN ATTENTIVE JURY The jurors paid close attention to the reading of the statement, several of them leaning over and putting their honds behind their ears to catch every word. Others appeared to be somewhat surprised and shocked at some of the foul language used. The general impression was that the statement would seriously hurt the chances of the prosecution in securing a verdict of guilty, carrying with it the death penalty. Clements showed no signs of nervousness or fright while the jury was out. He had been assured that a verdict of guilty would not be returned and he seemed confident of acquittal. A verdict may be rendered this evening in the case of John Clements, the negro accused of a capital crime against Miss Fannie Chenault, and who has been on trial in the Montico county court for three days. The defense closed this afternoon. Clements was not put on the stand, nor were any of the alibi witnesses, who were expected to swear the accused man was in RICHMOND on the night of May 3, when the attack should have been made on the girl. Attorney-Pollack, chief counsel for the defense, said he was satisfied the state had not made out a case and it was deemed unnecessary for the negro or his alibi witnesses to take the stand. Instructions submitted to Judge Scott without argument were given to the jury this afternoon, and argument was adjudicated. The opinion seemed to prevail around the courthouse that a verdict of guilty, carrying with it the death penalty, was improbable. QUESTION ABOUT WEAPON. Those who held to this opinion pointed, to the fact that not even Miss Chemaine herself would swear that a wrench, which the prosecution sentenced was the instrument the young woman saw in her assailant's pocket, was the weapon with which he threatened her. Attention was also called to the fact that two of the prosecution's witnesses—J. Morrie Carter and W. M. Vincent—had been sufficiently highly favorable to the defense. Carter testified that Clements was working at his place in Henrico county when he was arrested the second time. The police telephoned to Carter to ascertain whether or not Clements could be found on his farm. This was several hours before Clements was taken into custody. Carter told the jury that he told Clements the officers were after him and that Clements said to him: "I ain't going to run away." "I ain't done nothing and they can take me before a hundred white ladies." Carter said. Clements had ample time to make his escape had he cared to do so, and those who believe the prosecution has failed to make out a case contend that the fact that Clements did not make an attempt to get away after having been arrested once for the crime and knew that the authorities were again after him for the same offense will have great weight with the jury. Vincent, who first arrested Clements, testified that he did not think he had the right man because he did not find a pistol on him. He understood that Miss Chenault, in giving a description of her assailant, had said she saw a pistol in his pocket. The wrench is undoubtedly the strongest link, except perhaps, Miss Chenault's idolification of Clements, in the chain of evidence the prosecution has endeavored to wield about the gun. The wrench found on Clements has two handles, and with only the handles exposed to view it does. look something like a pair of curling irons or a double-barreled pistol, which Miss Chenault testified she saw in her assailent's left-hand hip pocket. ADMITS POSSESSION OF WRENCH The defense admits that Clementa was in possession of the wrench offered in evidence, and that he took it and planted it on Dan's farm on the morning of May. 9. Miss Chenault's narrative of the attack made on her, it is generally believed at the courthouse, will acquit Clements. She told the jury the crime was committed within a hundred yards of her, own home, within twenty-five feet of a public road, that she heard people passing along the road while her, assailant held her a prisoner, that he forced her to crawl through a three-strand harbed wire fence, that she conversed with him freely, told him to be careful not to shoot himself and that she made no outcry and made no attempt to escapе when the negro left her and went a distance of about twenty-five feet. That anybody was coming. She also testified that she arose at 5:30 o'clock the morning after she was attacked, accompanied Policeman Seay to the scene of the crime and later went to Sunday-school walking a distance of about a mile. This part of her testimony is certain to be made capital of by the defense, and is believed already has made a deep impression on the jury. JURY EXAMINES SCENE. The jurors were taken to the scene of the alleged crime yesterday afternoon and made a close inspection of every foot of ground from stop 23 to whore Miss Chenault claims she was first attacked and to the spot where the young woman alleges she was mistreated. The jurors seemed especially interested in examining the ground between where Miss Chenault says she was first attacked and where she alleges the crime was committed. Judge Scott ordered all spectators to get away from the jurors while they went over the ground and discussed the possibilities of such a crime in the juvenile prison. Several of the jurors were seen stepping off the distance from the county road and the place of attack. The exact spot where Miss Chenault claims she was harmed is situated in a thicket of gum saplings about as high as a man's shoulder, and the road is about thirty feet away. The commonwealth announced that it rested its case and the defense immediately began the presentation of its testimony. Detective Sergeant F. L. Krenge was the first witness called. It was Krenge who killed the negro Samuel Thompson, a suspect. Krenge said that Clarence Wyatt and Miss Chonault went with him to look at the dead negro. "At first Miss Chonault said, 'He is the man, then, later, she said he was not the man,' the witness said. Krenge told of some measurements Miss Chonault made and Miss Chonault suggested. Witness said Miss Chonault told him her assailant was a very black man, had a sharp pointed nose and a small moustache. Detective Sergeant Atkinson was next called. Atkinson talked with Miss Chenault in reference to her assailant. He was also present when Miss Chenault went to look at the dead negro. He said Miss Chenault first said the dead negro looked like he was an assailant. He said assailant was certain he was not the man. Atkinson said Miss Chenault said the hat worn by the dead negro had a wider brim than the one worn by her assailant. Witness said the dead negro was lighter than Cloments. He also, said Miss Chenault, had made conflicting statements in describing her assailant. Witness said her assailant had a brim like the head of her assailant were thinner than those of the dead negro. Atkinson said Cloments' lips were thinner than the dead negro's. Atkinson also said there was light dirt on the clothing of the dead negro's overalls. MAGISTRATE ON STAND. Magistrate R. A. Smith, who, with Magistrate H. S. Sunday, presided at the preliminary hearing, but who dissented, from Sunday's decision to send Clements on to the grand jury, was next called. Magistrate Smith fastly contradicted the testimony of Miss Chenault regarding the bundles she had when attacked. The witness said that Miss Chenault testified in the lower court that she did not drop her bundles when the negro attacked her. Miss Chenault testified THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Tuesday that the binder dropped to the ground when she was attacked Magistrate Smith also contradicted T. W. Seay, who gave damaging evidence against the accused negro Seay testified that Miss Chaucapt posed a threat to her life. The time she saw him, Magistrate Smith said Seay testified before him that Miss Chaucapt was not positive in her identification. McMAHON TESTIFIES. Captain of Detectives McMahon was next called. Captain McMahon told of Miss Chenault's identification of the negro Riddick in the city jail. He testified that at Miss Chenault's request Riddick was made to get in several positions and to show his teeth. Witness swore H. T. Veitch pointed to the negro Riddick and exclaimed, "That's the man." Captain McMahon also swore that Martin had identified Riddick as the man they saw at the switch on the evening of May 9. Witness said Miss Chenault positively identified Riddick, saying "This is the man." After Miss Chenault identified Riddick Captain McMahon said he remarked to Deputy Sportif Sydnor: "This is a case for the grand jury." Captain McMahon swore that Miss Chenault, in referring to Martin, said: "He is going to stick to me." Witness testified that both Velch and Martin were positive in their identification of Riddick. Both sword he was the man. He said he cautioned Mrs Chenault against making any mistake as a man's life was in danger. He said the man; Captain McMahon testified. STATEMENT IS EVIDENCE. Captain McMahon told of a written statement made by Misa Chenault to himself and Deputy Sheriff W. W. Sydnor. Attorney Smith objected to the introduction of the 'statement'. The court ruled that the statement was evidence and would go before the jury. This was regarded as a big point gained by the defense. Captain McMahon testified that the state attorney Chenault before she signed it and that not a word was written without her consent. He was positive on this point. The statement was made Monday, May 18, witness said. Asked by Mr. Smith what would be the use of Misa Chenault going to the city jail to look at another suspect after she had identified RI-1dick. Captain McMahon replied: "I haven't the alightest idea." SISTER WAITING. While Miss Chenault was making her statement, Captain McMahon said he told her it was getting late and that if it it took much longer he would have to send an officer home with her. He said the prosecutor replied, "Oh, that is all right. My sister is waiting for me." After she had finished making her statement, Captain McMahon said he told Miss Chenault, "Now, Miss Chenault, is this statement all right?" and that she replied, "Yes, it is all right." "When you, were told that Miss Chenault had identified another no-rose, didn't you throw up your hands and say: "Oh, my God!" asked Mr. Smith, Witness replied that he did not. When said he had conclusively made up his mind that Riddick was the man who had attacked Miss Chenault because he had seen the prosecutor positively identify him and had seen her identification, corroborated by Veitch and Martin. Mr. Smith wanted to know why the witness had gone to the trouble of gathering evidence against Riddick when Sydnor had told him Miss Chenault had identified another nero Captain McMahon replied that Sydnor was mistaken in the information he had. He said Sydnor casually remarked, "She has identified someone else." Deputy-Sergeant Atkinson who was present at the city jail when the defense contends Miss Chenault identified Riddick, was the next witness. IDENTIFIED RIDDICK. "Witness said Veitch pointed to Riddick and said: "That's the man." Riddick is still in the city fall. Deputy Sheriff W. W. Sydnor, of Henrico county, was next called. Sydnor said the first man arrested as a suspect was a negro named Walter Lee, employed at the time by Wyatt Transfer Company. Witness said Misa Chenault told him her assailant had thin lips, shapely nose and beautiful teeth. On this description Sydnor said he arrested. Sydnor said he had Misa Chenault if she were not a fact that someone in the employ of Clarence Wyatt was not responsible for the crime and that she replied: "I know it wasn't one of the drivers." Witness said Miss Chenault told him after having looked Riddick over the first time she was positive he was not the man. It was the second. Chenault said the Riddick that the defense claims the was identified. PROSECUTRIX INTERESTED Miss Chenault, manifested great interest in Sydnor's testimony and made notes of his evidence. Sydnor told of the detailed story of the alleged crime given him by Miss Chenault. He said the young woman told him her assistant threw a gun in her face when he first attacked her in the road. Witness testified that the prosecxtrix told him she did not drop some bundles she was carrying when she was attacked in the road. Much of Sydnor's testimony is unprintable. A pin drop could have been heard in the courtroom during this part of the deputy's narrative and the jurors leaned over to catch every word. Sydnor, told of the identification of the negro. Ribdick by Miss Chenault, Martin and Vetch. CERTAIN IN IDENTIFICATION. At first, witness said, on seeing him, Miss Chenault said: "I believe that's the man." After Riddick had been made to get into several positions and she had closely looked him over, Syndor said Miss Chenault declared: "I am satisfied that's the man." Syndor also testified that Veltch said on pointing to Riddick. "That's the nigger; I'll swear it on a million Bibles." Syndor swore Martin said he would swear on a thousand Bibles that Riddick was the man. Syndor also told of hearing Miss Chenault say "That's Martin, he's going to stick to me." Witness said Miss Chenault did not identify Clements the first time she went to the county jail to look at him. Syndor testified he had relied to arrest Clements the second time she went to the county jail to want the negro arrested. Chenault wanted he had heard that Clements had stolon wrench from Charlie Dean's farm that looked like the instrument found on Clements when he was first arrested at Seven Pines. Sydnor then told of Miss Chenault's identification of another suspect at the courthouse, saying: "I belong to the he man." Sydnor then think Miss Chenault's description of her assailant fitted Clements. LOOKED LIKE PISTOL. Sydnor was turned over to Attorney Smith for cross-examination. Mr. Smith closely questioned the witness regarding what Miss Chenault told him she saw in her assailant's pocket. Sydnor was positive Miss Chenault told him it looked like a pistol. He asked her why she didn't pick it up and kill the wolf. She replied that she was afraid of "Don't you know, Mr. Sydnor that Miss Chenault did not identify the third suspect you smoke off asked Mr. Smith. "I know that she did identify him," witness replied. Mr Sutton, who was present at this alleged identification, here took Sydnor in hand. Mr Sutton wanted to know if Miss Chenault's identification of this suspect was so insufficient as not to warrant the holding of the negro. Sydnor replied it was. Mr Sutton then resumed his cross-examination. Asked if it were not a fact that Miss Chenault went from the city jail after identifying Hiddick to the county jail to look at Clements, witness said it was. "What was the use of going to look at Clements after Riddick had been identified?" "I wanted to give her every opportunity to make sure of her identification. Sydnor was positive that Miss Chenault did not then identify Clements. He said Miss Chenault said to him that Clements looked like the man, but she was it sure. Miss Chenault said she was important, saying she would come back nextday and Sydnor ordered Clements held for her. Miss Chenault did not come back and Clements was liberated. The defense then rested its case and the prosecution began its rebuttal evidence. Policeman Duke was the first witness. He testified that Miss Chenault did not identify Riddick. REBUTTAL TIMONY. Policeman C. J. Polkes denied that Miss Chenault had identified Riddick, but Martin and Velch did identify Riddick. County Policeman R. J. Tiller, who was present at the city jail when Miss Chenault went there to identify Riddick, said she told the officers that she thought he was the man who attacked her, but she was not convicted. County Jailor R. C. Garnett testified that he did not know whether or not Miss Chenault had identified Clements at the county jail. He said Deputy Sheriff Sydnor was not present at the time Miss Chenault saw Clements. County Policeman Seay said he told Sydnor that Miss Chenault had identified Clements as the man who twin brother. He declared that after Miss Chenault had seen Clements she did not want to see Riddick as she was certain Clements was the man. The negro Riddick was then placed on the stand. Riddick said he saw Miss Chenault shake her head when she looked at him in the city jail. Riddick and Clements were then ordered to stand up side by side for comparison. Miss Chenault then took her to the stand. She said she positively did not identify Riddick and that she positively identified Clements after leaving the city jail. Asked by Attorney Pollock she did not return to the county jail to take another look at Clements after she had told Clements she was not the negro until she not another look at her. Miss Chenault said she understood Syllor was to come to her. The attorney for both sides then rested their case. It was agreed that the instructions would be submitted to the court and that they would be given to the jury at 5:30 p.m. when court recourse occurred after lunch. It was expected that the case would go to the jury about 6 or 7 o'clock tonight. Boys'--Girls' Contest. VOTES CAST SINCE SEPT. 1, 1914. GIRL8. Ruby L. Peyton Florence M. Smith Irina Denny Thomas Thomas Thomas R. Becks, Staunton. Lynchburg, Va. Oct. 14, 1911. Greeting: Dear Christian Workers: Near three decades ago, the Negro Baptists in Convention assembled decided upon the establishment of Negro Baptist Educational Institution. Immediately this decision was materialized in the Virginia Theological Seminary and College, of Lynchburg, Va., an institution for the Normal, Academic, Collegiate and Theological training of the youth of the race. This educational plant has had unprecedented success, marvelous growth, and has wrought wonderfully for Christ's kingdom and humanity. Thousands of young men and women have entered its intellectual portals: hundreds have finished from its different departments, and to day are in every higher walk of life. This institution is an especial gift of God, a benediction to mankind. It educational enterprise, in the history of race freedom has equaled this in the race a permanent standing along, constructive and progressive lines. It has demonstrated the moral, mental and spiritual worth of the Negro. It has proved well his fitness, worthiness, his perseverance in a righteous work. It has won for the Negro the high approval of all well thinking people—white and colored. Today another call is made. Hear ye faithful Christian workers. A modernly equipped four-story brick structure has been erected for a Girls' Dormitory and to-day is occupied. This building complete with all equipment means an approximate cost of $20,000.00 thirty thousand dollars. Thursday, November 5th, it will be dedicated. Elaborate arrangements have been made for a great dedication exercise. We want to see ten thousand Baptists present. Let all Baptists come. Again, that day we want $1,100.00 one thousand and one hundred dollars. This amount is an urgent need. We are asking, most earnestly, churches to give from five to ten dollars, board members from five to ten dollars, individuals from one to five dollars, just as you feel able to respond to the needs now of a needy person. Remember the date. Come. If you can not come, answer this with some mime. Ministers will please urgently state this to their churches. FOURS for God and Education R. C. Woods, Pres. Va. Theo.

The true bill against him sits forth that on March 20, 1890, he was married to Frances Washington, in this city. With his wife still living and without procuring a legal separation from her it is charged, he married again in New York on January 1, 1907, taking to wife this time Ella Wilson. The grand jury failed to return a true bill against Joseph Strong, the colored man who, on October 3, shot and killed his wife, Mary F. Strong. The bullet, it was brought out, was intended for a man with whom Strong toured his life in co-operation. The killing was regarded as accidental, and the negro was released. BOYS AND GIRLS CONTEST.

Whitman, Republican, district attorney for the county of New York, the only district attorney of that county who ever presented a New York petition twice to the electric chair and drew the trade of the New York governor into disregard by terminating about the electrification of four of them, has been elected governor of the state of New York over former state comproller and former congressman and present governor, Martin H. Glynn, Democrat, by a plurality of at least 150%. This is the largest plurality ever given to a governor of the state of New York since the plurality given to Grover Cleveland over Charles J. Fidler, then chief judge of the New York court of appeals, in 1855. Whitman's plurality may even even given to Cleveland. James W. Wigl-worth, Republican, was elected United States senator from the state of New York, over James W. Gerard, Democrat, United States ambassador to Germany, by a plurality somewhat less than that given to District Attorney Whitman. Mr. Wigl-worth will be one of the youngest members of the upper house of the national congress, and the youngest man ever to represent the state of New York in the United States senate. By an odd coincidence young Mr. Wigl-worth will succeed to the seat in the United States senate now occupied by Ellen Root. The total vote for William Sulzer for governor, impeached and thrown out of the governor's chair a little more than a year ago, running on the American and Independence league tickets, was about 15 percent. In most parts of the state, Sulzer ran ahead of Frederick W. Davenport, the Progressive candidate for governor. Sulzer supporters indulged in a celebration at his Broadway headquarters when they heard that Glynn had been defeated. They gave all credit for Whitman's victory to their leader, and the former governor expressed the same view thus: "The verdict of the people speaks for itself. Without money, without newspaper support and without organization, I have elected Whitman, beaten Glynn and made Roosevelt look like 30 cents." SMITH WINS IN MARYLAND Democratic Leader Re-Elected to the United States Senate. Baltimore, Nov. 4. - John Walter Smith, successor to the late Senator Gorman as head of the Democratic regular organization in Maryland, was re-elected United States senator 3 Photo by American Press Association JOHN. WALTER SMITH. by a big popular vote, his plurality over Edward C. Carrigan, Jr., regular Republican now, but formerly chair man of the full Moose state commit tee, being from 15,000 to 20,000. V. Milton Reichard was the Progressive candidate for senator, but made a poor run. For the house of representatives the Democrats elected Jesse D. Price, former president of the Maryland se ale in the First or Eastern Shore. JI trict: J. Fred Talbot, the veteran of many terms, in the Second district; Charles P. Coady, in the Third, and J. Charles Linthicum, in the Fourth. The Third and Fourth districts are in Baltimore city, and Coady's plurality is about 1500, and that of Linthicum about 4000. G. O. P. GAINS IN NEXT CONGRESS ONE PROGRESSIVE IN SENATE The Next House Will Probably Be Democratic By 19 and the Senate By 14. Washington, Nov. 4. The empty dinner pad has again asserted itself in the election of members of the United States senate and house of representatives. The large majority in the house and the comfortable one in the senate held by the Democrats have been very greatly reduced. The indications are that the house will be Democratic by a majority of ninety and the senate will have fifty-five Democrats, forty Republicans and one Progressive. The late Progressive seems to be Congressman Pindexter, of Washington. The only Progressive candidate for congress from the city of New York who was in the last congress, Walter M. Chandler, representing the Nineteenth congress district seems to have won over a Mr. Butten welser. The result, however, is still in doubt. Joseph G. Cannon, for many years speaker of the house of representatives, has been elected from his old Danville, Ill., district. Senator Sherman, of Illinois, insists that he is elected over his Democratic opponent, Hoyer G. Sullivan. Indo-Pennsaukee has been returned to the senate from Pennsylvania, where Officer Pinchot, former United States for ester, gave Pinchot a hard fight. Returns indicate that Palmer was third in the race. Oscar W. Underwood has been cas- ly elected to the United States sen- ate from Alabama, and Hoke Smith has been re-elected in Georgia. In Missouri Senator William J. Stone, the Democratic candidate, has been elected over Thomas J. Alphis- Republican. The Vote was the heav- iest cast in year. Meager returns from Kansas indi- cate that the congressional dele- cation will have four Democrats and four Republicans. Out in Arizona they had a war- right, but Governor Hunt is probab- ly re-elected by about 80%. In Massachusetts the Progressive suffered almost as badly as poor Belgium. Bill McCormack returned to the Republican party in droves, and Governor David J. Walsh squeezed in by a plurality of about 10 percent over Samuel J. McCullah, the Republican candidate. Joseph Walker, the Progressive candidate, polluted less than 10 percent, while a year ago Bird, the Progressive candidate for governor, polluted 12.5 percent. Governor Stimson E. Baldwin, of Connecticut, is probably defeated for United States senate on the Democratic ticket. In New Jersey it was the same story of Republican victory. The Republicans got control of the senate and will probably have a majority of the lower house. Congressman Alley B. Walsh, representing President Wilson's own congressional district, was defeated. Two years ago, he received a majority of 40%. WISCONSIN REPUBLICAN LaFollette's Candidate Was Third in Race For Governorship. Milwaukee, Wis. Now, 4. The vote in this state shows Republican gain over 1912 and the candidacy of J. J. Blaine. LaFollette's Independent Progressive candidate, was third in the race. This spells a repudiation by the state of Wisconsin, of LaFollette's influence where he originated the Wisconsin idea of progressivism. Phillips, Republican, is elected governor by Snoop. The state will supplant two of its Democratic congressmen with Republicans. GEORGIA SOLID DEMOCRATIC Electe Governor, Two U. S. Senators and All Congressmen. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 4.—Hoke Smith and T. W. Harwick, Democrats, were elected to the United States senate over C. W. McClure and G. R. Hutchins, Progressives, by an overwhelming majority. Smith succeeds himself and Hardwick will fill the unexpired term of the late Senator A. O. Bacon. Georgia returns a solid Democratic delegation to the house of representatives. Judge Nat E. Harris, of Macon, was elected governor to succeed John M. Slaton. The Vote In South Carolina. Charleston, S. C., Nov. 4.—With only Socialist opposition the entire Democratic ticket was—as anticipated—overwhelmingly elected. Ellison D. Smith is returned as United States senator and Richard I. Manning is elected governor to succeed Coleman L. Blease. The seven Democratic congressmen were re-elected. The situation as regards the proposed bond issue of $24,000,000 to help the cotton farmers is sorely confused. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT. Irregular Heartbeats. A writer on medical subjects says that an irregular beating heart should not cause any anxiety. Give it no thought—especially four thought. The mental attitude regarding it may make or mar your life. Forget it. The heart is a wonderful little organ and, as a rule, will adjust itself to varying conditions when not interfered with mentally or physically. Therefore, mentally, forget it; physically, watch your diet as regards overeating or the eating of such foods and ip such a manner (insufficient mastication) as to cause gases, the action of which is to distend the stomach and crowd the heart. It won't go back on you if you treat it halfway right. A SYMPHONY OF COLOR. Panama Exposition to Be a Scene of Transcendent Beauty. There have already been exposition cities, or parts of them, whose streets, buildings, parks, statues and landscape effects, each more or less good in itself, were all planned as contributing parts of a homogeneous whole in design, though indeed, as a matter of fact and history, even this idea has never yet been carried out with unified completeness except in exposition cities, memorably the White City at Chicago in 1883. But for the greatest of expositions there has been conceived and worked out for the first time a city where not only form, but color will be called up to create symphonic loveliness. At the Panama exposition every square yard of the stately composition a mile or more in extent, from the roofs overhead to the tan shade underfoot and including the rich masses of California flowers and shrubs between together with the blues of the Golden Gate and the soft browns of the adjacent hills, are all picked up and combined, blended and contrasted, in one dominant key of color to produce not only harmony like an orchestra, but transient beauty like a great orchestra. What the actual effect will be when it is finished and visitors look down upon it as they approach from the heights above or gaze at it from the hills across the bay is quite impossible to describe for the very reason that nothing of the sort was ever done before. The nearest one can come to suggesting, its ethereal loveliness is to say that the whole color scheme has been devised and carried out under the direction of Jules Guernin - Serlhners. BATTLEFIELD HOSPITALS. Rules That Govern the Treatment of the Wounded. The care of the wounded is necessarily an important duty imposed on every nation in case of war. The general system adopted for providing a medical service is practically identical in the armies of all the great powers. It contemplates a division of the service into three portions—that which belongs to and accompanied the fighting troops, that which pertains to the base (of supplies) and the line of communications and that which pertains to the home territory, or "the zone of the interior." The principle governing these services is that nothing but first aid and emergency treatment should be attempted in the immediate zone of combat and that, having received this treatment, the disabled should be quickly transported to the "base" where abundant facilities for their care can be provided without encumbering the fighting forces. Here at the base they are carefully classified, and those who are so seriously disabled as to be unfit for further service at the front are sent back to hospitals at home, while those who are less seriously disabled are retained until they are well enough to leave the hospital, when they are transferred to the convalescent camp. Here they remain until they have fully regained their strength, when they rejoin their regiments at the front.-Scientific American. Blamarsk on Helgoland The exchange of Helgoland for Zanzibar was a transaction which has met since with a good deal of criticism. It must be remembered, however, that Germany had not then developed the naval ambition which has given the little island its great strategic importance, and when the bargain was made it had no stronger critic than Blainnack. To barter Zanzibar, for Helgoland, he protested, was "like exchanging a pair of trousers for a button"—London Chronicle. Aabastos Doors Asbestos doors, which look like ordinary doors of oak or mahogany, are a new kind of fire protection. They are made with a center core of wood or metal, covered thickly with asbestos. An oak or other wood veneer gives a surface finish so that they seem to be solid wood, but in case of fire the small amount of wood in the veneer would not affect their fire resisting ability much more than would a heavy coat of paint on an all metal door. Whale Beef. Enter the whale as an element in the "beef" supply. In Alaska the cannery have begun to pack whale beef, herefore regarded as waste. An average whale yields twenty tons of beef FOR THE BOUDOIR. How to Keep the Hands From Chap- ping During the Winter. The first chilly day is the day to begin to wage a war against chapped hands. If you can keep your hands from becoming chapped in the traditional weather between warm and cold, Fan will have little difficulty with them later on, for it is in the first cold days that they are especially sensitive to cold. Chapped hands are almost always caused by insufficient drying after washing or perhaps the water was levy cold and very hard, or used too hot. Both extremes are bad for the skin. To preserve the hands in good condition in cool weather—they should, whenever possible, be washed in tepid water, and if this is softened by a tea-spoonful of borax so much the better. Be sure to use a soap of good quality and when drying the hands take the precaution of rubbing each finger separately. If the hands are rubbed over once a day with a slice of lemon and a little cold cream or if mutton tallow is rubbed into them thoroughly before going to bed at night there will be little danger of the skin becoming chapped or rough. An excellent and delightfully fragrant cold cream for the hands, or the face either, can be made as follows: Take eight ounces of almond oil, one and one-quarter of an ounce of spermaceti, one and one-quarter of an ounce of white wax. Shred the wax and the spermaceti finely and put in a china marmalade jar. A small enamel ware saucepan will do. Stand it in another saucepan about a third full of boiling water. Keep this simmering until the ingredients are entirely melted and then add a few drops of lavender oil and pour into small china pots. The little pots in which cheese often comes are excellent for the purpose. The preparation can be used as soon as it is cool and will keep for a long time. Another invaluable lotion for hands that are included to be red in winter, even though they do not chap badly, is made of lemon juice, can de cologne and glycerin, equal parts of each. This can also be used for chapped hands. TOILET HINTS. How to Care For the Face and Keep it Youthful. Here are some suggestions for caring for the face: Wash the face daily in very hot water. Use plenty of soap, lathering the face and neck with soap jelly and rinsing it off afterward with a bath hose. Let no soap remain upon the skin, but be sure that it is removed by using as many waters upon it as one has patience to apply. After a thorough washing the skin must have a little cream or a little skin food massaged into it. Each night before retiring take a bowl of warm water, a cake of pure soap, preferably unscented, and a soft complexion brush and wash upward and outward until your face feels fresh and glowing. Then rinse all the soap off and dash with cold water and dry well. Once a week steam the face by applying to it heavy towels wring out of very hot water to which you have added a pinch of borax. When the face is very red discontinue the application of hot clothes and with the finger tips work in some good cold cream. Rub always upward and outward. Use plenty of cream. Then take a soft towel and wipe out the cream and dirt which will come with it. Finish the treatment by rinsing with hot water and then with cold. Many women are at a loss as to how to cover up the ugly holes left where nails have been. They make bad spots on the walls and very often ruin the looks of a whole room. A plaster may be made of equal parts of plaster of paris and Portland cement. These should be mixed to the consistency of ordinary plaster. The holes should be filled up with this. It will be found that not only does this dry quickly, but it leaves a nice, smooth surface which does not crack. Plaster of paris alone, on the contrary, is very apt to crack. Beaded nail holes, all chinks or cracks in the plastering may be filled in with this mixture, which can be easily applied with an ordinary knife. Almost every country house and some city ones have a hot water boiler in the kitchen. One woman made a discovery in connection with her boiler which saved her quite a bit of money. For embroidery she put the piece while it was wet from the washing on the boiler, with the wrong side to the boiler, and rubbed it out smooth. When the piece had dried she found that the embroidery stood out just as if it had been ironed. Handkerchiefs, too, may be ironed in this way, and the things dry very quickly next to the heat of the boiler. The Humble Librettist. In the history of the opera there are many curious anomalies, but perhaps the strangest is the role played by the librettist. For the most part obscure and unimportant, his ranks have nevertheless been recruited from the ablest and most brilliant men of letters. Among those who have undertaken the part are such unlikely names as Voltaire, Goethe, Wieland, Addison and Fielding, while others of considerable poetic talent, as, for example, Metastasio, Calzabigl, Rinunculus, Bolto and Coppee, have tried their hand at libretto writing with assurance, giving to it their best efforts. And yet the successful librettists are few—the most handful out of a harvest of centuries. Getting Even Wife—I thought you had more sense than to buy a cornet.

OREGON VOTE SPLIT Democrat Senator, Independent Representative, Republican Governor. Porgand, Ore., Nov. 4. Oregon has gone Democratic for senator, Independent for representative and Republican for governor by what is termed the clearest race ever known in the state. Chamberlain seems sure of returning to the senate, as is Lafferty of returning to the lower house of congress. Prohibition seems to have lost, the Catholic vote, following the edict against prohibition of Cardinal Gibbons recently, having been cast against it. The betting was the heaviest known in an Oregon election. The Republican wave of the east partly hit the Pacific coast. OHIO IN DOUBT Woman 'Suffrage Has Been Overwhelmingly Defeated. Columbus, O., Nov. 4.—Woman suffrage has been defeated overwhelmingly. The vote for governor is very close between Governor Cox, Democrat, and Willis, Republican. The senatorial returns indicate the election of Harding, Republican, over Hoogan, Democrat. The two principal cities of Ohio went strong against prohibition. The city of Cleveland voted wet by 40,000 and Cincinnati by more than 50,000 Columbus, the capital, voted dry by a very small majority. Home rule won in Cleveland by about 40,000 and also in Cincinnati. Columbus voted against home rule, but only by a small majority. Omphead Disease. One of the strangest diseases is known as 'kubisagari'. It is common in Northern Japan and in a small district on the Franco-Swiss frontier, but unknown elsewhere. Its symptoms are a sudden paralysis of certain muscles, loss of vision and vertigo. The attacks last about ten minutes and continue at intervals from May to November, recovery always coming in the autumn. Nothing is known about its cause, though Dr. P. L. Couchaud describes in the Presse Medicale a microbe he found in the cerebro spinal fluid and the milk of persons suffering from the disease. The name kubisagari is Japanese, and means 'drophead.' The Result in Idaho. Boise, Idaho, Nov. 4. — Alexander, Democrat, was elected governor by a large majority, and Brady, Republican, to the senate, and Smith and McCracken, Republicans, to the lower house.

For her tea and cakes had no charm, perhaps because she had poured the one and dispensed the other steadily for the past hour. She leaned back in her chair behind the tea table abently watching the little crowd of fashionably dressed men and women that were moving about the parlors, yet conscious nevertheless that the man beside her was observing her and enjoying her experience from his own standpoint, which was no different from her own that she often wondered how he could find anything in her to interest him. In a low voice he was telling her about the people before her eyes—how the woman in gray velvet had recently come into a fortune and how the girl in blue was sadly puzzled as to whether she would be happier with an American because she loved him or with an English oldest son because he was her to a title. She listened carelessly, scarcely replying. In reality her mind was busy with its own affairs. She was merely their hostess' country cousin who poured tea and to whom Hills Hubbard was somewhat attentive. "You must be very nice to him," Cousin Nell had advised the first day Mildred was in the house. "And why?" the girl had inquired. "Because he is a good match, as good as there is to be had. That counts very much in my world. Mildred. It may be that you will charm him, being a type that he is unacquainted with." Certainly it seemed that she had charmed him. Since the first day she met him he had been attentive to her, sending her doowers, taking her to ride in his motor and to lunch at the best places. She had been quite frank with him from the first in spite of Cousin Nell, telling him that her father was only a poor country doctor and this was the first time she had been asked to visit her cousin. As she leaned back in her chair she was wondering how it would seem to always have plenty of money, to buy one's frocks at the best shops, to live in a house where the work was done as by magic, to go about in a blue and gold motor and be able to hear all the best music. Just that afternoon Cousin Nell had said when she came in to inspect her toilet: "You understand, Mildred, that Mr. Hubbard will have something to say to you before you go home. There is but one answer for you to make, and I am sure he expects that one." "But—but I'm not certain I care for him enough," Mildred had stammered. Nell had stared at her. "My dear child! Do you think that any one in these days marries for love alone?" "I didn't know," the girl said humbly. Then she thought of her cousin's elderly husband, who was seldom visible save at breakfast time, and the hitherto concealed reason for Nell's strange marriage was suddenly revealed to her. Mildred had indeed experienced much since coming into her cousin's house. None of the golden rules which her parents had taught her were applicable here. Other ideals were cherished, other alms kept in sight. Her father and mother had married for love. Money they knew to be a great good without which one could yet be happy. The poorest person was as good as the wealthiest, provided he was of moral character. Yet, after all, when one was constantly meeting strangers how could one know more about them than their appearance revealed? Who cared whether Mrs. Poynter's first husband was living? She was the wife of a notable rich man and very agreeable. In Harlin she would have been looked upon with suspicion, but here she was counted. Yes, money was a wonderful thing. It brought one so much. Even if she did not love Mr. Hubbard she could no doubt be very happy with him. To be able to wear a dress like that gray velvet and black fur with long silver hems in them, each one of which represented a purseful of money, and rushed like Mrs. Orden's. The girl drew a long breath and stirred unmeanily. What would her father and mother say? What would Tom think? She bit her tip as the memory of his brave yet tender face possessed her. She could almost hear him sayings. Now, look here. Daffy-Down-Dilly, you are going up to town to visit your sister and she will have some fellowship for you. I know. Will wouldn't you'd say one word, and then I wouldn't feel so entirely down as I will be if you go without saying it." She had not said the word, and so she wanna quite free as far as Tom wanna concreted to marry Hills Hubbard if she chose. With a start she came back to reality and the sound of his voice. "You can understand that everybody is watching Miss Steuben with a great deal of interest. But there is no doubt in my mind that the Englishman will win out." "What makes you think so?" Mildred asked. "Because. That's a woman's reason. I know; but, as I say, it involves a good deal. The American, you see, has only his business prospects and for the present an average living. The Englishman has a fine old home, ancestry of the best, acres and tenants and a coronet about to descend upon his aristocratic bead." Mildred sighed and looked again at the girl in blue. She was very pretty as she stood with her back to a great mass of daffodils particularly, but now something about them set her heart to beating quickly with memories of home. A mouth later there would be a great showing of them in the little garden she and her mother tended. The dear, dear things! Nell had ordered them simply because they looked well against the wall paper of her drawing room, but to Mildred's girlish fancy they were vital, appealing. They meant home, the country, springtime-yes, and Tom, walking toward her, his face full of joy at sight of her. Oh, they had no business to be here in this hot, crowded room, jostled by furs and velvets, simple, open air blossoms that they were! No one apparently was aware of them save herself and the girl in blue, who had drawn one from the jar and was pulling it to pieces. A woman came across the room, see her cup down upon the table, smiled at Mildred and leaned toward Hills Hubbard. "I have something to tell you which I just now heard on the best authority," she said. "You have lost your wager, my dear boy. Love wins. Miss Bertha Steuben marries the American after all." "Is that possible?" he exclaimed. "I would not have belied it of her." He turned sharply. "You would do it yourself." "You would do it yourself? "Yes." Mildred said. He studied her a moment. "Yes. I believe you would," he said, "but in your case there are no parallel circumstances. My I come tomorrow when you are alone, dear, and explain to you what I mean?" Mildred turned white, but she faced him bravely. "No," she gasped. "No. It would be of no use. You see, I have just made up my mind to go home tomorrow. It's the best place for me. I think, and they want me, father and my mother and"— She stopped abruptly, with a virid blush. "Ah, I see!" Hilla Hubbard said. He looked very straight before him for an instant. In Mildred's car was ringing the absurd old nursery rhyme with which Tom had teased her before she set forth to visit her Cousin Nell: Daffy-Down-Dilly has gone up to town In her yellow petticoat and her green gown But Daffy-Down-Dilly was going home from town to be happy with her own. Feeding an Atlantic Walrus. The most expensive animal at the New York zoological park is the Atlantic walrus. On his arrival four years ago the animal weighed 140 pounds. He has now attained the weight of over 500 pounds. He requires forty pounds of clam meat daily. The labor of preparing his meals, cleaning his tank and the cost of the sea salt that must be added to the water make the expense of keeping him equal to that of feeding two large elephants. PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT. Rigo's Disease. The mouth disease that is most often responsible for general ill health is Rigga's disease (Pyrrhena alveolaris), but other forms of inflammation, such as an abscess at the root of the tooth, can also do mischief. The abscess may cause no pain or apparent inflammation, yet it may do a good deal of harm if the pus it forms passes into the blood stream. Among the many diseases which in certain cases can be traced to inflammation of the gums or tooth sockets are dyspepsia, rheumatism, anemia, high blood pressure with resulting headache or even heart and kidney disease, constipation and asthma. Possibly we may include ulcer of the stomach or intestines, gallstones and appendicitis. Of course, all these conditions are more frequently owing to other causes, but it is well to remember that they can originate in an ill kept mouth. Too often, unfortunately, we see broken and decayed teeth, loose and covered with tartar, in the mouths of persons who are in other respects careful in regard to personal hygiene. When the physician examines such a mouth he usually finds the gums swollen with a blue line along the edge of the teeth, and a very slight pressure will force out pus from between the teeth. As long as such a condition is present it is not much use to treat obstructive general symptoms of ill health. Thorough treatment by a competent dentist in the first instance THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. Economy Hints A penny saved is a penny earned.— Benjamin Franklin. IT is certainly time for the home gardener to think of caring for the surplus from the garden. Wise home growers have planned on having a sufficient supply of choice vegetables during the winter. These vegetables will have to be stored in order that they may be preserved. Onions and squash should be placed where there is sufficient heat and dryness to prevent any possible decay. The root crops—parsnips, carrots, beets, salify and turnips—are best buried in soil. A good sandy loam is excellent. Place a layer of soil in the bottom of a barrel or box, then a layer of roots, a layer of soil and so on. If the quantity of root crops is large enough the roots may be stored in a pit outside the house. A good way is to pile the vegetables in a conical form and place straw over them. Soil should be applied to cover this straw and more soil or manure added as the weather becomes colder. Sometimes a hotbed pit is used for storage, particularly if adequate facilities for ventilation are given and if protection from oversupply of water is afforded by covering the tops of the beds with boards and tarred paper. Protection should also be given against excessive cold by applying refuse over the tarred paper. Cabbages may be stored in the hot bed pit or in the garden by placing a little straw on the ground, removing the cabbages, roots and all from their location and placing them heads downward on this straw. A layer of cabbages four plants wide and of indeterminate length, with another layer over it three plants wide, all covered with straw and soil, will cause the cabbages to keep in the heat condition, especially if a location is chosen where ample drainage is possible. The whole aim in the storage of vegetables is to prevent sudden freezing and thawing, to give ventilation enough so that the product may keep well, to give moisture enough to some crops so that shrinking will be done away with and with other crops, squashes and onions in particular, to give heat enough so that they will not suffer from excessive moisture. RENOVATING HINT. How to Use Some Stains For Pine Floors. How can the ordinary pine floor be made presentable without covering it with a carpet? This is a problem which is perplexing many housewives. A number of stains and varnishes which have proved satisfactory for such floors have been worked out by students in household management in the home economics department at the college of agriculture, university of Wisconsin. Before applying the stain's the floor should be carefully smoothed with sandpaper or steel wool. If the floor is soft or very old, fill the pores of the wood and all cracks with a filler. A good paste for this purpose may be made from whiting or starch mixed with either oil or turpentine. Shellace varnish is often sufficient if the larger cracks are first filled with the paste mixture. The floor should dry for twenty hours and be sandpapered for a second time before the stain is applied. Here is a good method for giving a pine floor a pleasing finish with a slightly yellow maple color: Apply two costs of a mixture of one-half ounce burnt umber, one quart of raw linseed oil and two and one-half ounces of yellow ocher. Allow the floor to dry well and then wax. To give a floor, a good brown tine make a stain of one pint boiled linseed oil, one tablespoonful burnt umber, one pint of turpentine, one tablespoonful slena and two tablespoonfuls chrome yellow! This stain will serve as a filler as well as a finish on a smooth floor with no cracks. Apply two coats and then wax. For a light finish for a pine floor apply ammonia before the filler to penetrate the wood and deken it slightly. After the filler is dry sandpaper and apply two coats of varnish, rubbing each coat with powdered pumice stone. How to Make the Delicious Pinoche For the Kiddies. This is a delicious candy, easily made and wholesome for the children, tasting like maple: Boll two cupfuls of brown sugar, one-half cupful of milk or cream, one-quarter of a teaspoonful of salt and two lumps of butter the size of a walnut, stirring constantly. Have ready a cupful of ice water. When the sirup begins to darken and thicken try in the ice water. If it will roll into a soft ball under the fingers remove from stove, add one-half teaspoonful of vanilla and a cupful of nut meats which have previously been chopped fine. Walnuts, peanuts or pecans are good. For variety a cupful of cut-up marshmallows or coconut may be used. Beat hard until it begins to thicken on the spoon; then turn into buttered tins. It will "set" almost immediately, when it can be cut into squares. Put into the icebox for ten minutes. If not crisp it has not been well beaten.

Trum and a cymbal and a triangle and some sleighbells and a sandpaper dink and heaven knows what all. He plays all these at once or separ- ately, as the case may be. And he does it as well as if he were a cent- pede. We always wonder as we watch him where he keeps his other hands. "Forewarned is forewarned," but he must have been forewarned and spell-ed it wrong. He will watch the orchestra leader like a hawk, and at a given signal he will drop the pot lid he is boating and take a few pokes at an egg beater or a nutmeg grater. A trap drummer's sheet of music must read funny. We firmly believe he could take a handsaw, an ice cream freezer, a jack plane, a tree hook, a wash boiler, bottle of ink and a curtain rod and play the "Star Spangled Banner" on them, carrying all four parts. He will be tickling the rib of the triangle when the expression of the leader's face changes or he gives his batonic chair a wilder swing downward and "Blam, blam!" he swats the eternal daylights out of a bass drum. Then, while he is taking a rest from the bass drum, he rolls on the kettle-drum and stops it hurriedly to rub two pieces of sandpaper together briskly. Nobody but himself ever knows He is a noise trust, a combination in restraint of the musical trade. If he were to play only one instrument instead of all the lot about eleven other willing members of the musicians union would get jobs. We love the trap drummer, but down with him! He is our worst industrial menace.—Indianapolls Star. His Intentions. A young man who had been calling rather frequently of late on a Richmond girl was waiting for her in her father's library the other evening when that stern parent entered the room.

MILPARK SCHOOL OF HAIR DRESSING, BENTON, MASSACHUSETTS HOW TO UTILIZE A WORK EVENING GOWN. Relaxation robes, charming affairs of the dutty woman's wardrobe are called. But what's in a name? It is more helpful to most women to tell of the ways and means of making this useful garment. Many, of course, are to be had in the shops, and varied are the prices asked for these garments. Exquisite are those of the de luxe family, while those for real comfort and utility are beautiful in line if not such exquisite material. The former are in many cases so much like the gowns for evening wear it is difficult to distinguish. Basques lend themselves readily to form attractive negligences, while the 'two piece' idea is thought well of for this purpose. Turkish trousers are also introduced, while the Chinese cont, worn over its accompanying straight skirt, is one of the most comfortable of all designs. Cape effects are charming. Lace packs worn over accordion plaited alps or the flounced skirt offer many suggestions to the clever needlewoman. In fact, a half worn evening dress in the hands of this woman has its days doubled, for it is a foundation for saving time and expense. A lace jacket or one of chiffon with a gown of this description would give the ingenious woman ample material with which to display her creative powers. Crepe de chine, all the soft alks, chalits, nibatross, quilted alk and the various crapes form the simpler negligees. The same hematitching, picot edging, ruch- es, puffs, net, lace, ribbon and ribbon reses, trim the more elabor- ate ones of lace, chiffon and alk. A Magnifying Pinhole. Obtain a piece of blackened card and make a hole in it with a needle; then place a very small object—say, for instance, a tiny insect—on the end of a pinprum gum to a strip of glitter and view this object through the needle hole in the card at about an inch from it. The insect will appear quite distinct and about ten times larger than its size; if, however, you suddenly withdraw the card without disturbing the object the latter will be invisible. The reason is that the naked eye cannot see at so short a distance as an inch but the card with the hole enables the eye to approach, within an inch and its not only well, but, as it were, ten times better than with naked eyes.

NEIGHBORS FIGHT SALE OF SHURCH TO NEGROES. Case Is Set For Hearing Record Judge Scott in City Circuit Court To-Day, but May Not Be Reached —Opposite Purchase of Uptown Property. (Richmond, Va. Times - Diapatch, Nov. 3rd, 1914. In a statement concerning the proposed sale of Immunael Baptist Church, to negroes, issued last night by a committee styling themselves the Citizens' Protective Committee, it is asserted that a house-to-house canvass of the homes on Leigh Street between Fourth and Fifth Streets, showed every house on the block to be occupied by white persons and all of them owned by whites with one exception. This canvass was made in July, after a number of representative citizens had appeared before the Ordinance Committee of the Council and argued the case, with the result that the committee changed its decision given in favor of overriding the segregation ordinance, and is said to be true at the present time. The statement issued last night characterizes as entirely wrong the statements made some time ago, in which it is said that the neighborhood had become a colored one. The committee holds that there has been but little change in the vicinity within in the last ten years, that it has always been a white neighborhood and that the location of the high school, the former Capitol of the Confederacy, the Medical College, an orphanage and other buildings of public interest, as well as the presence of many business men and women, students and professional workers within its boundaries is sufficient to warrant the enforcement of the segregation ordinance and to prevent the sale of the church property to negroes. SAY NEGROES WOULD PAY MORE THAN WHITES "The trustees would sell to no one because negroes will pay more than white purchasers. To gain a few more dollars, the trustees are willing to cause the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of private and public property," is a direct statement made by the committee last night. The statement continues by saying that this is one of the more convenient sections of the city, that property here is valuable and that rents are better than in the West End. It says the entire section is aroused over the matter, and that white residents and property owners are convinced that it is, and not the church trustees, who are entitled to the sympathy of the city and to the protection of the law. The committee reported last night that the Immanuel Church was in a most prosperous condition at present, in spite of reports to the contrary. The financial report, made during the summer, showed the collections to be in excess of the expenses, according to last night's statement, which quotes the pastor as expressing his pleasure at the enthusiasm with which the winter work has been started. OPPOSE PURCHASE OF UPTOWN PROPERTY On the other hand, it is claimed that if Irimanuel is sold and Calvary Baptist Church is purchased, the indebtedness of that church will be more than doubled. It is pointed out that to the cost of purchasing that church will be added that of furnishing it; that it is situated within half a dozen blocks of four Baptist churches already established and flourishing, and that the change in the church location would leave many members without a convenient place of worship. Many of these members are old and infirm, it is said, and several are credited with saying they would prefer seeing the church in sahes rather than sold to negroes and the membership moved far unnoten. The case is scheduled to come before the City Circuit Court to-day, on application of the board of trustees to permit the sale of the church property to negroes. It is said, however, that there is some doubt as to whether it will be reached to-day. The Citizens' Protective Committee; which gave out the statement last night, is composed of the following: J. P. Richardson, F. J. Mahoney, M. Salomonsey, Joseph E. Folkes, W. T. Woolfolk and A. L. Vonderlehr. The case has been postponed until Nov. 10, 1914.

Fifteen-Year Old Boy Is Held for Trial Before Magistrate Sunday in Henrico County—No Evidence of Intent to Kill. Samuel Vaughn, a seventeen-year-old colored youth, who lived on the Williamsburg Road, was instantly sent to his death at noon Saturday Oct. 31st, when fifteen-year-old Anderson Baughy, also colored, leveled a single-barrel shotgun at him and blew the top of his head completely off with a load of buckshot. The youth says he did not know the gun was loaded. Bighy's father surrendered him to the authorities shortly after the killing, and the boy is being held in the Henrico County jail without bail. An inquest was conducted last Monday by Colony Coroner J. F. Bright at the County Courthouse. The coroner's jury found that Vaughn came to his death from gunshot wounds inflicted by Ba,by, and, while the youth who fired the fatal shot protests that the killing was accidental, it will be necessary for him to establish the fact in court before he will be released. From statements made yesterday, it appears certain that the youth entertained no ill will toward the boy he killed, for just before he fired upon him he had pointed the gun at another youth, but did not pull the trigger on that occasion. CAME OVER WITH OLD SHOTGUN IN HANDS Vaughn, with a younger brother, is said to have been at work white-washing the walls in a room at his home, when Bagby, who lived a short distance away, came over with an old shotgun in his hand. He entered the room and talked with the Vaughn brothers. He is said to have pointed the weapon toward the younger Vaughn boy, who told him to turn the gun in another direction, as he was afraid it might be loaded. Bagby then leveled the weapon at the elder brother, who was standing in a chair at the time. When Bagby pulled the trigger a load of buckshot crashed into Vaughn's forehead just above the eyes, tearing away the upper portion of his skull and scattering his brains upon the floor. Several negroes were soon on the scene. When Bagby's father, Griffin Bagby, arrived and saw what had happened, he surrendered his son to County Officer T. W. Seay, who had the boy locked up in the County Jail. Bagby protests that he did not know the gun was loaded, and that he had merely gone to the Vaughn home to see the boys. The Bagby and Vaughn families are neighbors and reside on the Williamburg Road, between the city limits and Seven Pines. MT. CARMEL'S RALLY. Bex. E. D. Coffee Active.

The bond of each was fixed at $1,000. The charge of carrying concealed weapons against Yalay was nolle probed. The decision in the McCord case was given by Judge Elmore after arguments were heard as to the legality of the deputy's attempt to stop the Negro.
