Richmond Planet

PLANET To the Editor. The Charlotte Observer, speaking editorially a few years ago of the lawless element of the South as "The Curse" of that section, mentioned an instance of a crippled Negro, lame in one foot, and having the use of but one hand who, in defense of his home, killed one of a couple of white men attempting to force an entrance for the purpose of ravishing his daughter. Although at the trial of this colored man the surviving intruder confessed his guilt on the witness stand, exonerated the colored defender of his castle and praised him for his valor the jury convicted and the judge sentenced him to life imprisonment. SHOULD NOT BE UNDERVALUED We should not allow the circumstances surrounding this remarkable case to influence us to undervalue this wonderful man and his remarkable act of valor. Such a course as this will do more towards the solving of the race problem than the boast that we have a hundred Negro millionaires and ten thousand owning each "forty acres an" mule. The right arm of such a man as this is worth more than ten thousand of the South's "determined white men;" who go an hundred to one, armed to the teeth and under cover of darkness to put to death one weak woman. It is only such deeds of valor as this: the proper estimate put upon chastity, the value and sacredness of the home and fireside, coupled with a willingness to die if need be in their defence, that will bring to the Negro in this country the respect and veneration other races value. WEALTH WILL NOT DO IT. The accumulation of wealth will not bring these priceless essentials which we must have if we would be a people. These regulates wealth can not buy. That man in Boston who is constantly shouting to the Negro to contend earnestly and ceaselessly for his civil, social and political rights is an great a benefactor of his race as the one in Alabama who is urging the Negro to buy property to the disregardment of these equal if not more essential requirements. This humble black man who may be now serving a life sentence is greater than Napoleon, the Duke of Wellington or Alexander the Great. Why do I say this? Theed great commanders led legions of men deeply in sympathy with them and the cause they espoused. They know further that their praises would be sung as long as the love valor lived in the human heart. Many a spent swimmer has been saved from a watery grave by the shouts of sampathetic watchers along the shore. FIGHTS ALONE. In my experience the Negro who stands up to fight a white man in the South fights absolutely alone. In some sections of that sulphurous region we would not dare shout a word of encouragement or look approvingly on. Imagine this poor obscure black man rushing from his castle to give battle to lustful deposits under such circumstances. The martyrs of the Alamo do not deserve as great a mead of glory! Those far removed from the premises must not allow themselves to feel that the above deed is phonemal; that brave deeds on the part of Southern Negroes are extremely rare because the white press does not record them. The white man tells an "Indian Story" always about his encounter-with other races which justifies his deeds and covers him with honors it matters not how cowardly his acts may have been. QUOTER A. VIRGINIAN. TOO. John Mitchell, editor of the Richmond Planet, speaking of the plight of the editor of the Wilmington Record during the political upheaval in North Carolina in '98 said, "Our coffins are here in our office ready to receive our bodies and our tickets are punched and signed for heaven if it becomes necessary for us to die holding our ground" or words to that effect. It is said of Editor Mitchell that once in reply to a scattering desumination of a lynching some where in the state of Virginia a challenge came from the lynchers, "Come out here an' we'll lynch you;" Editor Mitchell took the next train for the women, gefronted the murders and chained them into an enclosure that their dead was comforted and unattained. These who recall the Editor Burmese remember the bury and mourn the deaths of Editor Burmese who are killed in this wrecky attack. near the scene of this mysterious tragedy a friend rushed in and, informed him that a white man was coming down the street flourishing a revolver and threatening to shoot him on sight. TURNED AND WALKED AWAY. Mr Mitchell arose, waited calmly until the man reduced the door then stepped out and confronted him, told him what he had heard. The man was so awed by Mitchell's coolness and bravery that he dotted it, turned and walked away. Ex-Governor O'Ferrall of Virginia who, was one of the most rabid advocates of mob law finally became equally as strong a champion of law and order; and this we believe was brought about solely by John Mitchell's editorials under the caption of "lyschlaw must go." We never take up the New York Tribune but what the homely face of Horace Greely its founder and champion of human rights appears. So it is with the New York Age. Although T. Thomas Fortune has severed his connection with this paper, his image comes before us even with the very thought of it: we see his master mind in its brave, concise and logical editorials. FORTUNE AS AN EDITORIAL WRITER. With the exception of Bruce Grit Mr. Fortune is the most able and widely known newspaper man of the race; for he was the only one of our editors heard outside of the columns of his own paper. His contributions to the New York- Sun and other great white dallies made him a familiar figure in the newspaper world, and classed with the ablest regardless of race. Mr. Fortune's frequent tripe to Jacksonville, Fla., his "brideplace while editor of the Age put him in personal touch with leading southern whites with whom he conversed and spoke his 'convictions as bravely as he wrote them. Stopping over in Charleston on his way South at one time, Mr. Fortune read an attack made upon him by one of the large daily papers of that city. Through the columns of the "Dispatch" his reply was sharp, terse biting. He closed the article by saying "The gentleman will find me at"—naming his stopping place in Charleston. It was Mr. Fortune's clarion voice ringing through the New York Sun during the race riota in New York City in '99 assuring his people that the wild antics of the boodlums, thugs and exconvicts of "Hell's Kitchen" did not express the feelings of the bonande citizens of the Great Metropolis towards the colored race. ANOTHER TRIBUTE "Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in inroal?" Judges 5; 8. There were weapons in the hands of men of her race, but not one with the courage to use it in her defense when Ida B. Wells arose alone to give battle to the entire state of Tennessee. Her defiance was so brave, her tirade against injustice and cowardice so strong and bitter that she was snubbed by those of the North to whom she came to tell her story of injustice and unprovoked persecution. Undaunted she went over to England. When she returned brining with her, the indulgence and sympathy of the great man and women of that nation, those who had formerly snubbed her received her with open arms. We wept tears of joy as we listened to her story to a crowded hall with Brooklyn's best people of both races. When during the Atlanta riots a few years ago, flushed with victory set out to wreck the house of Bishop Turner the leader raided a restraining hand. "Stop men" said he "The South honors bravery too well to molest a man like that." And the sage and intrepid old Prelate who has never bit his tongue whenever and wherever called upon to defend his people remained unmolested. JACK THORNE. WANT TO FIND THEM.

In 1974 COURT COMMISSIONER TO PRESIDE IN CHURCH. Will Ascertain Will of Immanuel Eugene G. Massie, one of the commissioners of the City Circuit Court, was appointed by Judge R. Carter Scott, yesterday, to hold a meeting of the congregation of Immanuel Baptist Church. In the church building, at 8 o'clock on the evening of November 23, for the purpose of taking evidence as to the will of the congregation with respect to the proposal to sell the church property. The order, appointing Mr. Massie, was entered by Judge Scott after hearing the application of the trustees of the church for an order authorizing them to dispose of the church, which is located at Fifth and Leigh Streets. The application was presented on behalf of the trustees by Attorney Isaac Diggs. Attorney John P. Leary, acting for that portion of the congregation which opposes the sale, asked for a continuance on the ground that he had not yet been able to communicate with all the members who oppose the sale of the property. In passing upon Mr. Leary's motion for a continuance Judge Scott appointed Mr. Massie as commissioner of the court to ascertain the will of the congregation. WILL TAKE EVIDENCE AND REPORT TO COURT. Judge Scott's order directs Mr. Massey to take evidence and to report his findings to the court. It is expected that Judge Scott will announce his decision on the day following the ending of Mr. Massey's report. The order directs the meeting to be advertised three times in a local newspaper. The petitioners, through Attorney Diggs, noted an exception to Judge Scott's ruling in which he declined to hear further proceedings at this time and referred the matter to a commissioner. The lawyer contended that there was ample evidence before the court to show that a majority of the congregation favored the rule. In opposing the motion for a continuance, Attorney Diags directed attention to the fact that a $5,000 mortgage on the church matured in January. He intimated that unless the matter of the sale were adjusted at once, difficulty may be encountered in retiring the mortgage, necessitating perhaps a forced sale of the property under the hammer, to satisfy this obligation. by this objection. The Immunnel Church difficulty has been in the limelight for several months. Opposition to the sale of the property to a negro-congregation was registered by owners of property in the vicinity, and by part of the congregation itself. A recent amendment to the negregation law, inspired by the controversy, bars the use of the church as a colored house of worship. Roanoke (Va) Notes Miss Emma J.

Whitman Choice of Colored Republican Leaders Of New York For President in 1916. In the remarkable Republican landslide, which occurred on last Tuesday, there was one happening of particular importance to the Colored voters of the country and to the Colored Republican Leaders of the South, who will be delegates to the next Republican National Convention. District Attorney Chas. S. Whitman, of New York City, who has a national reputation, was elected governor of the Empire State in a fierce contest with Theodore Roosevelt. While the fight was under the surface, yet the result of the contest was looked upon by the far seeing Republican politicians of the East as determining which should be New York's favorite son, and choice for the Presidency two years hence, Whitman or Roosevelt. Mr. Whitman not only decisively beat Mr. Roosevelt, who had stumped every portion of the state against him, but relegated his party to third place. In commenting upon this, Mr. Gilchrist Stewart, of New York City and who is well known all over the country, as Chairman of the Colored Republican Club of New York, and who conducted the work among the Colored voters, said: IS SOUND ON THE COLOR LINE. Mr. Whitman's election as governor of New York state is a vital importance to the Negro Race through out the country. It means the dawning of a brighter political future; it brings upon the horizon a character who is as sound on the "Color Line" as Lincoln, and who has the bull dog tenacity of Theodore Roosevelt. He is a radical without being ultra so, having the confidence of the conservative business interests; He appeals to the progressive sentiment of the country because he does not believe in injustice of any kind; And at the same time he is a strong organization representative. He just fills the bill in every way for the next Republican Nomination and I am anxious for my friends, all over the country and especially in those states in the South, where the Color Men control the delegation to the next Republican National Convention, to intently watch his career and record as governor. There is not a man in the country who could be better suited, for our interests to have in the nomination against Woodrow Wilson than Governor Chas. S. Whitman." --- BROKE LARGE WINDOW. James Flot on a Rampage. W. I. Johnson, a colored undertaker living at 10 West Leigh Street, last night swore out a warrant for a negro named James Fleet, whom he charged with assaulting and threatening to hit him. Bicycle Police Chairman Thurman was sent to the place to serve the warrant on Fleet, but was unable to locate the man. He returned to the Second Proctect Station and had hardly entered the doora before Johnson telephoned that Fleet had returned immediately after Thurman left, and had shattered four of his large front windows with bricks. The officer again visited the scene and found the report to be true. The police had been unable to locate Fleet at an early hour this morning.—Richmond Va. Times-Dispatch. Nov. 10.

Burlong is proprietor, won first prize at the Alabama State Fair for the best shoe makers display. Mr. Burlong has won for himself a name, as the most competent shoe maker in our city. His shop is equipped with the very latest and best machinery which can be afforded, located at 601 South 20th, Street. Birmingham, Ala. Rev Richard Carroll's Effort Here. Rev Richard Carroll Esquire Here. Rev. Richard Carroll, the noted South Carolina evangelist delivered an abby sermon last Sunday morning, 11:30 o'clock on prayer. It dealt with Jacob and the Angel, when after wrestling with him all night in response to the flying messenger of God's plan that the day was breaking he responded, "I will not let the go until they blaze me." He explained in six analyses, the power of prayer. For an hour he held that large and representative audience spell-bound. His rights of aloquence were grand and his executiveary displays excelled. bounded interest and when he had cocluded the sentiment was that he had delivered one of the ablest discourses over heard in the purport of the Fifth St. Baptist Church. He spoke last Sunday afternoon to men and at night again delighted a large audience of interested hearers. He spoke to women at the same church on last Monday afternoon. He had twenty-seven conversations to his credit last Wednesday at 1:20 when he boarded the Seaboard Air Line train for Columbia, S.C. "WHAT OF OUR PEOPLE?" Hon. John Mitchell, Jr. Str and Brother: What of our people? They are terrible no to speak in almost every respect. No matter what predation may befall the race, it's no matter of interest to them. Then when such noble men like John Mitchell Jr., strike a blow, they think him just a little too fast. But I think they should make a uniform blow—and because of their union, effort they would bring something to pass. Then look again at the men of the National Baptist Convention why do such lofty men as Dr. F. H. Cook, W. H. Moses, C. J. W. Boyd, etc., take the Baptist Church organ through which to make their quarrels? Yes I think Dr. J. H. Boyd is one of the best men in the United States. But my mind was pleased to know that Dr. Boyd offered his resignation from the Publishing Board. But I only wish that he had enforced their acceptance for what wisdom directed them to draw from the N. B. C., an executive commission to say Dr. Boyd shall do in his office when we (Dr. Boyd) almost gave birth to the Publishing House and made it what it is today. Great God! what will our wise leaders do next. Then again may I ask "What of our people?" They are being lynched. They are disfranchised. They are Jim-crowed. And they are perfectly satisfied with the situation and what will be next? City and rural segregation. All right! Mr. Whitman. Do anything you may. Well wait for Mr. Washington or Mr. DuBlos to come. But what do they care for us in a less fortunate state, nor the burden under which we groan. But hear men! If the well ever to be lifted we with united forces for one cause must do the lifting. Well might I say, what of our people? When I look at the course of our young people. Many of our young girls who should be found in the B. Y. P. U. and Y. W. C. A. etc., where are they? Somewhere in the slum of the City going down in degradation. Then the young men curing shooting etc., and turning their backs upon the church and school room doors. I don't dare ask who can follow such men as R. H. Terrell R. H. Royd, C. T. Walker B. T. Washington. John mitchell Jr., etc., not that, but I even look at some churches and ask myself where may they get their deacon board of tomorrow. The young men don't care for future, race, nor sell. Then, "What of our people?" When they have $1.00 to spend for a newspaper they say all they can against our Negro papers, then buy a whitman's paper and think their news fine and never know when they are up or down. Buy your own newspaper! try the Planet. —Now may I ask the interest of your prayers that our people may see their many mistakes! By the Planet. I am With praise gours for Christ and humanity. J. Floyd, Heaman. W. ISAAC JOHNSON'S PLACE BOMBARDED James Fleet Does Much Damage. Jim Fleet went on a rampage last Monday night at William Isaac Johnson & Sons' undertaking establishment. According to reports, he first got into an altercation with Mr. E. T. Jenkins, who is hall manager. He wrenched a patting from the fence adopting and after cursing Mr. Jenkins attempted to assault both Mr. Jenkins and Mr. William Isaac Johnson, Sr. He was caught and held while a message was sent to the Second Police Station for an officer. This was shortly before 8 o'clock. He was released and he went away. The officers came and a warrant was sworn out for James Fleet. Shortly after they left, he returned and threw two large rocks and a brick through the plate glass of the Johnson establishment. The rocks were about six inches in diameter and would have done deadly work had they struck any person in the head. Floot yelled that they had gotten a warrant out for him as he would then do something to justify their getting out the warrant. He had not been arrested up to Tuesday night. Fortunately no one was injured. He smashed every glass in the house. Magnificent Entertainment — Audi- ence Delighted. The City Club gave a fine rendition at the City Auditorium last Monday night to a large and appreciative audience. The prices ranged from $1,00 down to 25 cents, and in all departments there was a fair representation, although from the crowd, many seemed to prefer to listen from that elevated station. But the well-trained array of sixty artists from New York with every conceivable instrument in evidence known to the musical profession, including even the company presented a scene long to tum, both as to stage and seating cap be remembered. The City Auditorium afforded an excellent opportunity for this congregation of the musical to be seen at their best. WHITE CITIZENS THERE TOO: Some of our white citizens were in evidence and enjoyed the renditions of these stars, who had been "trained to the minute." The swapping of conductors, all of whom displayed equal ability in conducting the orchestra through the most difficult renditions was also a subject of comment. Away up at the highest point on the elevated rostrum was a youngster, a musician to whom had been assigned the task of "breating the base drum" and he beat it too, to the edification and amusement of all who could see him and they all saw him. THE TUNE SUITED HIM When the tune suited him, he went through the rocking motion of dancing while his eyes and countenance beamed with delight. No man in the United States seemed to have gotten more enjoyment out of his job than he. Whether he paid for the privilege of playing or they paid him to play, deponent sayeth not, but "he was there with the goods all right." It is almost impossible to single out the beat. It was all fine. Tom Fletcher was an original character in his "Wouldn't it be a Dream?" his pantomime expressions were realie tie and side breaking when it came to laughter. A FORMER RICHMONDER. The song by Mr. Andrew B. Richardson formerly of this city was also enclosed. "It's a long, long way to Tipperyary," the English Marching song was rendered by Mr. Louis Mitchell in a rich ornate voice that carried the house by storm. It touched a responsive chord that reverberated again and again through that spacious edifice. The Grasshopper song by Mr. "Happy" Rice was indeed a feature. He caused unbounded amusement on a musical comedy that he announced it had taken him three months to compose and while the average man could have sung and composed in three minutes. THE PROGRAM. But what's the use of further comment. No greater aggregation of genuine colored talent and mobility has ever visited Richmond. The management deserves commendation and we give it.

The tiny yacht was showing its heels in grand shape to the battleship, and the guns from the great boat were roaring in real carnisse now, as it was evident that the filibuster had no intention of obeying the signal to haul in. The pair who had fought one another so cordially stared at the scene until both boats melted into the sun, below the sun, then dropped beyond the horizon. Hugo. Loubeque was watching Lucille narrowly. Their prelacrifice seemed not to worry him. The fact that the captain of the fillbusters had consigned himself and his enemy to such a fate was of little account. Life to him had been a succession of dangers equally appalling, and he was still alive. "The papers, Miss Lucille," Loubeque said quietly, "will you kindly give me the papers to take care of?" The papers! Then the spy did not know that Captain Wetherell had possessed himself of the precious bag be- ```markdown ``` "There is no water," he said gently, fore-haaving her placed in the open boat. Instinctively her hands drew to her bosom, the harsh feel of the ruby necklace which she had taken from the underground cavern with her meeting her clutch. Rubles of untold, of fabulous valuing, she had, and the thought of power, of money—should she ever come safely out of this—gave her a sweeping sensation of elation. "Captain Wetherell took the papers," she answered quietly, studying the spy's face to see what effect the announcement made. Again came unwilling admiration for the man's imperturbability. "Indeed," he murmured. Then after a long period spent in profound thought: "Well, perhaps it is better so. Perhaps it is better." For a full hour he did not speak—an hour wherein the stars sprayed themselves over the heavens. Then he spoke again as though to himself: "Yes, child, perhaps it is better so. It is so much simpler to fight against Wethrell than against you." There was a note of pathos, of longing, in his tones that made her lips tremble, in sympathy for the man who had so splendidly misjudged the life that had been given him, had so misused the marvellous brain. Again came that feminine instinct to prosecute, and again did a glance at his determined face make her desist. She would fight and fight and die fighting to prevent him accomplishing his aim, but, to save her, she could feel no hatred against this one who would wreck those he held most dear. "You still have hope," she murmured, anxious to hear him answer in the affirmative. "Hope!" he laughed aloud. "Child, it is written in the stars that I shall not fail, cannot fail. You have read my diary. You know what I have done to accomplish my ends. I have overthrown nations, have thousands at my feet. And all for what! That when I struck at the man I hated there should be no chance for failure. And now the last chance had been overthrown. I faltered, Lucille. I faltered when I should have put you out of my path forever; when I should have made an end to your interference. Durability has intervened, Lucille. I know it, died it—in my heart." He watched him, fascinated, as he slowly typed and examined the proverb. lone alpinteriored them, counting each inch, testing the water key. "My printing there is enough for three days," he said quietly. "I think it would be better to wait till morning." He drew his coat off and painted it to her, frowning down her remonstrances at the deprivation. The warmth of it made her realize for the first time that she had been chilled through by the cold night air and she flashed him a look of gratitude, watching him as he bent over a alp of paper after a long scrutiny of the stars. Then she slept. She woke to a sensation of pain in her head, as though some giant weight rested there, pressing down as though to crush the forehead. For a moment she did not realize where she was, stared about her perplexedly, tried to identify the gentle, undulating motion of the boat, the soft sweeping sound of the waters. Then her eyes met the melancholy ones of Hugo Loubeque. The sun was beating down upon them ferociously, as though it would consume those hardy intruders. Her head ached, when she would have spoken, she "found her tongue swollen, her voice thick, her lip parched." "Water — please," she stammered, then glared in horror at the international spy's downcast face. Loubeque moved carefully to her side, placing his hands upon her arm. "There is no water," he said gently. "In their hurry they put an empty key in the boat. It is the test of fate, my dear. Try not to think of it—try"— He did not finish for the pity within him at her brave struggle not to show her fear, her pain. Her lips trembled as she tried bravely to smile, then with a determined effort, she sat upright. Her head ached maddeningly and the sun seemed to fairly sizzle down upon her. "Last night when I discovered the keg was empty," Loubeque said reassuringly, "I started working out our reckoning. We are well within the fishing zone of the coast. There is always a chance of being picked up. Don't fear, Loubeque." She smiled bravely, the effort only making her realize that the heat was paralyzing her facial muscles. After that she sat quite still, enduring in silence the maddening heat, the worse thirst. At times she thought she would be unable to stall it longer, that she must reach into this endless expanse of ocean and drink-drink; that she must plunge over the boat's side and allow, the salt water to be absorbed by her body. Night came and the stars, but night and stars from which all kindliness had fled. She knew it would be impossible to endure the strain longer. Loubeque's silent figure was motionless. In one long, gliding motion she half rose, then dropped swiftly from the boat, the water encircling her, cooling her, slipping at her ears in soothing refrain that fulfilled her senses to a glorious sleep, visionless, profound. Then in a flash of sanity came the horrified face of the man who was dragging her back into the boat. Darkness, blank, impenetrable—slumber, goblin haunted—sun and desert with mirages of water that receded before her lips— In her delirium Hugo Loubeque was constantly reminiscing unto her slightest want, soothing her with tender words, a veritable Gollath in fighting back the hordes of impes that would have tormented her. Always was he by her side—always until the mantle of blackness completely reached out and swathed her, soothing her to untroubled slumber, a slumber disturbed but once and that when Loubeque stood before her looking down at her with a light of mingled happiness and triumph in his eyes—a look that brought dimly back to her the memory of certain things yet to be accomplished, but which she had not the strength to completely recall, a look so transitory that when she fought her eyes wide open he was gone, and she was conscious of being in a strange place, a black figure rising from the corner. then slumber once again. Instinct forced her finally from the lethargic slumber, 'he instinct common to all higher forms of animals of protecting one's treasure. Her hands groped at her neck, where a slight tug had wakened her. Something brushed across her hand when she forced her eyes open, the figure she remembered to have seen in the corner was still squatting there, a figure that might have been inanimate save for the burning eyes fastened upon her. Nervously she fumbled at her neck, the feel of the ruby necklace meeting her fingers and pussling her for a moment before it started a chaotic chain of recollections that finally marshaled themselves insemblance of order. Out of the delirium of fever she fought remembrance of all that had happened since Hugo Loubeque dragged her back in the boat, recalled vividly from the subconscious brain that had attained ascendancy during that harrowing period, his tender nursing of her, his denial, his stern self mastery when the blazing sun, the thirst, the hopelessness would otherwise have compelled him to give up the fight; and then the fading boat, the blessed relief of water, the breaking of the fever and consequent repairing of burned out nerve tissues, the arrival in this house and the spy's leave taking. A cat and mouse game she played for two days with the silent Chinese woman nursing her. The woman had discovered the necklace, and Lucille knew she was constantly after it. Short periods of time there were when the nurse would sleep lustily and then Laciele walked warily up and down the floor, gradually regaining perfect power of locomotion. That necklace meant everything to her in this strange country. It meant the ability to travel, to do anything she pleased in her fight to regain the precious papers their meant honor and liberty to her famously accrued sweetheart. And with the return of strength same, a terrible moment, a great fear. Hue Loubeque, tender through his care of her had been, had left immediately she was out of danger, and she knew his motive was to seek the power that Captain Wetherford had made. He was down of the third day that THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA the mirror attached from the room, slipped out with a stethoscope that somehow sent a chill through the girl and made her silt bolt upright in the bed, then, as the door closed, spring toward the chair beside the door. The soft patter of slipped feet upon the floor without hide her stiffen with resolution as she hid herself so that the opened door would secure her from slight. Then the door opened an inch at a time, silently, cautiously, while the woman allipped inside the room, looked at the blanket upon the couch where Lucille should have been, then backconked to a slender, yellow robed young Chihuahua, who entered even more noticelessly than the nurse had done. The girl in hiding shuddered at sight of the violous knife the young Chihuahua passed to the woman. The man muttered a guttural deep in his throat as he crouched. Evidently the revolver he carried bothered him, for he placed it upon the chair. Lucille's fingers darted out, closing upon the welcome butt just as the woman leaped across the distance that separated her from the couch upon which the blanket bulged deceptively, driving the ugly knife down with a force that sent her off her balance. Lucille knew she could hide no longer and stepped from behind the door, the revolver leveled upon the pair, her voice shaking despite herself. The man cringed, crouched away from her, but the sight of the girl there seemed to carage the woman completely. Brandishing the knife wildly, she leaped forward, then hurried from side to side simultaneously with the discharge of the gun, slapping, wounded, to the floor in a heap. The man crouched still further away, and Lucille advanced upon him. Somehow she felt no compunction now, felt no fear, only felt the necessity for immediate haste in getting away. She signaled to the fellow that he should get out of his robes instantly. Sounds of activity came from every direction. She was shaking like a runaway horse with the strain. The young follow was equally nervous, but the revolver at his chest made him hasten. Lucille forced him under the blanket, hissing a warning in his ear which he evidently understood, as it was emphasized by a meaning proof that was more eloquent than any other language—the point of a businesslike gun. Voices were in the hall now. Lucille dragged the body of the woman under the couch and squatted in the woman's place just as the door opened and a head was poked inside. She mumbled something articulate, guttural, pewish voiced, and the head was withdrawn after the owner cast one glance at the figure under the blankets. He had no sooner closed the door than the girl picked the knife from the floor, and ripped the blanket into strips, securely tying her prisoner and gagging him. Then, after waiting a second at the door, mastering her courage, she stepped into the hallway and down into the open air. [TO BE CONTINUED.] WORDS OF WISDOM.

CATTLE PLAGUE IN 13 STATES Federal Inspectors Predict That Many Other Communities Will Be Affected. The placing of a federal quarantine upon shipments of live stock out of the states of Ohio, Iowa, Massachusetts and Wisconsin, and reports of the rapid spread of the foot and mouth disease in states already quarantined, marked a days' developments at the department of agriculture in the fight against the worst epidemic of the infection ever known in the United States. The malady is now raging in thirteen states. Scores of federal inspectors were rushed into the field to trace every shipment from infected centers. Reports from inspectors already at work led department officials to predict that many other communities would be affected. Inspectors reported that the disease had spread over several scattered counties in Illinois. In Pennsylvania the affected areas were reported to have become extended. The infection was discovered in Massachusetts at South Attleboro, in Bristol county. The low cases were discovered at Pernell. The department advised that the greatest care should be exercised in using milk from the affected regions. Infants are most subject to this disease, and it is only among very young children that it proves fatal. Adults can be cured with little difficulty. A human being may contract the disease from cattle, but one man does not convey the germ to another, the experts say, and there is no need to quarantine persons. Chicago, Nov. 7.—The work of disinfecting the empty pens at the Chicago Union Stock Yards began in preparation for the complete shut down because of the foot and mouth disease, that will be in effect until Nov. 15. More than 800 men will be employed. There are 15,500 pens, 725 chutes and twenty-five miles of water troughs to be disinfected. Statements assuring the public that foot and mouth disease cannot infect humans through the cutting of meat was issued by officials of one of Chicago's largest packing companies. One thousand more cattle at the Chicago yards were found to be infected and will be killed. A large trench has been dug by a steam shovel in the western part of the yards and filled with Hme. The cattle will be lined up on the edge of the trench, shot and buried as fast as the crew of killers can work. A hundred cowboys employed in the stock yards were ordered to kill all the pigeons possible, the authorities taking this as another precautionary measure against the spread of the foot and mouth disease. Foot Disease Sweeps Many States. The worst outbreak of the foot and mouth disease ever known in the United States is the department of agriculture's estimate of the live stock epidemic, which has forced a federal quarantine over six states and threatens a temporary reduction of the nation's food supply. Officials said it would be no worse before they could forecast the extent to which the fqil supply would be affected. They are inclined to believe however, that the shrinkage will no be large, in spite of the inconvenience to which the stock growers and packers will be subjected until the disease is under control. Every possible effort will be made to remove the handicaps upon the movement of livestock. The disease has now broken out in Pennsylvania and Maryland. In Maryland the disease cattle were discovered at Hagerstown. Inspectors of the department traced the cattle from Chicago. The same shipment left some diseased cattle at Greencastle, Pa., where another affected area now exists. In addition to the Greencastle area in Pennsylvania, one exists in Pittsburgh and several in the southeastern part of the state. These include herds near Lancaster, York, Littitz, Herrville, Royersford, Collegeville and in West Chester. New York and Maryland have now been added to the list of quarantined states. LOVE'S PHILOSOPHY. The fountains mingle with the river, And the rivers with the ocean, The winds of heaven mix forever With a sweet emotion; Nothing in the world is single; All things by a law divine In one another's being mingle— Why not I with thine?

And the moonbeams kiss the sea; What are all these kisses worth If those kiss not me? —Shelley. OFFICE ROOM, NO. 405, MECHANICS SAVINGS BANK BUILDING Phone, Monroe-2637.

Miller, of the firm, and let them on with a line of $100 each and a demand that each give $300 bond for the next twelve months. The three women gave the police the names of Mrs. Mary Jennings, 2822 East Franklin Street; Mrs. Ella 'Atkinson and Mrs. W. C. Thompson, of 2111 East Broad Street. The two latter noted an appeal from the decision of the Justice, and P. J. McCarthy and Attorney Edgar B. English provided their bail. Bond for Mrs. Jennings was furnished by H. W. Cottrill. The Virginia Railway and Railway company has purchased the Richmond and Hueco Railway line at an auction sale for seven hundred thousand dollars. It is now proposed to change some of the routes and to take up the tracks. The track on Broad street between 11th, street and 25, street is to be removed. The car line on the Clay St. car loop along 25th, St. 29th. Pand Jefferson avenue will be removed. $ The proposed new route will take the Clay street cars northward from Marshall St. on 25th, St. 29th and P. & Jefferson eastwardly to 26th, St. The double track line on 31st, St. between M. and Q. St. will be taken up. The lines in Fulton on both systems will remain as they are at present. The same is true of Oakwood. The double track line on First St. between Bradad and Cary street is to be taken up and also the double track line on Cary street from First to Fine St. The double track line on First St. will be taken up from Broad to Duval St. The First St. or Glister Park cars will leave from Fifth and Broad Sts. and go over the Fifth St. Guess to Duval St. to First St. and then across the First St. viaduct. The Seventh St. track from Chag to Beber St. will be taken up and like the tracks from 7th St. to 5th St. on Beber St. The Richmond Park cars will so Clay to PIRK and PIRK 2014. "I had fully determined to send these women to fail." Justice Griffin waited, passing sentence upon them, "and they they got their just deserts that is where they would go. However, in view of the complainant's request that they be saved the jail sentence, I cannot consistently do so, and will only impose a fine." Mrs. Jennings at once paid her fine and left the courtroom, leaving the other two women-waiting, apparently at a loss as to where they would secure the funds with which to settle their case. They later decided to note an appeal. LARGE AMOUNT OF GOODS RECOVERED The women were arrested several days ago, and investigation by Detective Sergeant Wiley and Kellam led to the recovery of several hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise from their homes. Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Atkins are mothers, and Mrs. Jeningsa is the wife of a man who stands high in the community according to assertions made by their counsel yesterday in an endeavor to save them jail sentences. Commonwealth's Attorney Minetree Folkon refused to ask the court to impose the heavier penalty. He simply read the statute relating to shoplifting, and called attention to the fact that the charge of petty larceny had been conclusively proven. Minetree folkon said the ends of justice would be met in a fine, and that his store would not benefit by sending the women to jail, and this statement led Justice Griggs to temper justice with mercy. W. A. Clarke, Jr., secretary of the Retail Merchants' Association, watched the court proceedings with interest, and announced at the close of the hearing that these cases were the first which department stores in this city had prosecuted. He said that no paints would be spared to protect the stores from all shoplifters caught operating in the Richmond stores, and that the course had been made necessary by the great increase in the amounts of the thefts during the last few months. The contract for protecting the larger department stores of Richmond has been given to one of the largest private detective agencies in the country, and operatives are already at work here. The stores have entered into an agreement to prosecut all cases, it was announced yesterday. THIEVING HAS BECOME EPIDEMIC, SAYS CLARKE. "Shoplifting has increased to such ap extent in the past several months as to make it necessary for the merchants to adopt some method to protect themselves," said Mr. Clarke. "As a means of doing this the six stores parties to the protective agreement—Miller & Rhoads, Cohen's Thirthimer Brothers, Kaufmann & Co. J. B. Mosby & Co. and Weisberger—have secured the services of a detective agency to protect their stores, and to arrest all persons caught in the act of shoplifting. Their policy will be to have all such persons arrested, and due publicity given the arrest, and the cases submitted to the court for such punishment, the offenders as it may see it to impress." At "a recent meeting of the six firms mentioned the action taken by Miller & Rhoads in causing the arrest of Mrs. Tompkins, Mrs. Atkins and Mrs. Jennings was indorsed and approved. Similar action would have been taken by any one of the six firms."—Richmond Va. Times-Dispatch, Nov. 12. Farouville (Va.) Notre. Richmond Planet: Mr. Editor: I am sorry you did not publish the last two week's articles from here there have been inquiries from a good many as to the failure of news from this section. We have had one of the most successful revivals, at the First Baptist Church the last two weeks in Oct. during the pastorate of Rev. R. G. Adams. Rev. Adams had with him Rev. Bobby Randolph one of the leading members of Prince Edward and Campbell Counties. There were 79 correspondents. We welcomed on the First Sunday in the First Baptist Church some things to be remembered. We have been baptized the same. candidates one giving the command over one candidate and the otaut Rev. giving command over the next and etb. The attendance was larger than has been for many years. The future outlook for this pastor and congregation is bright. Mrs. R. L. Palge is home again after spending some time with her parents in Roanoke, Va. She came with little Van Palge, a new visitor in our community. We wish them much success. Mrs. Mary Pankey and Peggle Scott are on the sick list.

This symphony orchestra was at its best in the syncopated musical peculiar to the race, although rendering with more than average ability other and classical numbers. It differs in tone in the large number of banjos and pianos which make a sort of background for the cellos, violins and wind instruments. James T. Brymn, and his assistant conductor. Frederick M. Brynan, are both musicians of note, and several numbers played were of their composition. Six solosists, Louis A. Mitchell, Usher H. Watts, Emery B. Smith, C. Arthur Roane, Thomas F. Frank, Price, artists representing varying tones in the musical field, added much to the attractiveness of the entertainment. A particularly enthusiastic welcome was given Andrew B. B. Richardson, a Richmond boy, when he sang a well-known air of the "popular" type, and Louis Mitchell, in the marching song of the English soldier, "It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary," had his whole audience "with him."

Some years ago the late Horace Mann, the eminent educator, delivered an address at the opening of some reformatory institution for boys, during which he remarked that if only one boy was saved from ruin it would pay for all the cost and care and labor of establishing such an institution as that. After the exercises had closed, in private conversation, a gentleman rallied Mr. Mann upon his statement and said to him: "Did you not color that a little when you said that all that expense and labor would be repaid if it only saved one boy." "Not if it were my boy," was the solemn and convincing reply. Things We've Noticed The most wonderful thing—an individual opinion. The easiest thing—blaming it on the other fellow.

There was a certain old duke who used to sit up in the left hall gallery with his duchess, believing himself to be incoch. One Sunday a too offless steward, on seeing the old nobleman take a back seat, hurried up to him and said, "Will not your grace have a better seat?" "Come along, Marina," said the old duke, "We're discovered." And be immediately walked out with the duchess and never showed his face inside the church again—London Tatler. England and Ships The demand for more ships was heard in England as far back as the sixteenth century. In 1577—eleven years before the Armada—Dr. John Dee published his proposal for the establishment of a "petty navy royal." It was to consist of "three score-tail ships or more, but in no case fewer." "that henceforth neither France, nor mark, Scotland, Spain nor any other country can have such liberty for invasion or their mutual conspirces or alda, any way transporting, to annoy the blessed state of our tranquility; as either they have in times past had, or else may have, whenever they will forget the observing of their sword or pretended amity."—London Spectator. Flying Fishes. A dazzling silvery splendor pervades the surface of the body of the best known species of the dying fish. The summit of its head, its back and its sides are of azure blue. This blue becomes spotted upon the dorsal fin, the pectoral fin and the tail. This fish is the common prey of the sea birds and the more voracious fishes, such as the shark. Its enemies abound in air and water. If it succeeds in escaping the Charybids of the water the chances are in favor of its meeting its fate in the Seylla of the atmosphere. If it escapes the jaws of the shark it will probably fall to the share of the seagull.-London Standard. An Army of Dollars In the Paris army museum there is a "doll army," which contains 19,000 figures of soldiers about two inches high in five great causes. The armor and uniform of every military branch are represented with the utmost exactitude. The picturesque work occupied the lifetime of an old Albanian who fought under the great Napoleon. Dog Ghosts The phantom dog specter was one of the hardest of old English superstitions. Almost every county and in black dog which haunted its lonely spots and was the dread of every native. Most of them were regarded as deities, but some were held to be the spirits of human beings transformed thus as a punishment. Lady Howard, a Devon notable of the days of James L. for instance, was said to be compelled to haunt Okehampton in the form of a dog as a punishment for her cruelty to her daughter. Compassionate: Small Margie drew the picture of a dog and cat on her slate, and, calling her mother's attention to it, she said: "Of course a cat ought to have four legs, but I drew this one with six so it could run away from the dog."

Flerce Fighting is Taking Place at Armentieres — Teuton Attacks at Ypres Checked. While the two armies are battling to a deadlock along the line in Flanders, where the Germans are trying hard to cut through the alley lines and gain the resposrts on the French coast, reports received in London from the battle front indicate that having failed to smash the disease of the Belgian, French and Prussian forces, the invaders have begun their retreat from Belgian soil. Although there is no official confi- mation of these reports, correspondents in that section of the war zone in dispatches to London tell of the rapid movement of the German force toward the German frontier. Whether this is a withdrawal following the tracks to the German arm vantage along the battle front in Flamers or a move to send aid to the eastern zone of war, where the Russians are sweeping back all German and Austrian opposition, cannot be learned. According to a dispatch from the Exchange Telegraph company's correspondent at Rotterdam, the movement of retreat of the German army in Belgium continues. Thirty-five thousand men and two guns have left Thielt in the direction of Ghent and forty-eight wagon loads of munitions have left Brages for the same destination. A dispatch to the Central News from Amsterdam says: "Trainload after trainload of German artillery are leaving the Lep valley in the direction of Ghent. "The German army headquarters has been transferred to Alost." The town of Abbe is fifteen miles west of Brussels and forty miles east of the fighting area around Diximade. The heaviest fighting of the present battle is being waged along the line from Armentierres to the sea coast, and the encounters are of particular violence for the reason that the opposing forces are alternating in taking the offensive. These onglistes are taking place in a dense fog, and while the reports of the action are meager, the Paris official statement announced that the allies have held all of their positions and repulsed the Germans, and that they had made slight gains at many points along the battle front in Belgium as well as in France. Despite their reinforced lines the Germans have failed in their attacks on the allied lines to the south of Ypres, where the attacks have been particularly violent. In addition, the Paris reports declare that the French troops along the line between Ypres and Armentierreux and also in the region of Dizumde, have perceptibly advanced. Elsewhere along the battle line between Rheims and Berry-au-Blac, on the center of the battle front, the French forces report progress in their offensive movement and on the front from the canal at La Bassee as far as the Woever the allies gained many new and commanding positions. Fighting from sand dune to sand dune, hampered by thick fog banks and at times crawling on hands and knees through high grass, the advance of the allies along the Belgian sea coast continues. An unofficial dispatch says that advance patrols of Belgians have penetrated to Ostond, which means that the coast line from Dunkirk to Nieuport and Ostend is relieved from the menace of the past two weeks. "A dispatch to the Daily Chronicle from a correspondent with the Belgian army, under date of Nov. 8, says: "Ypres is in flames and the greater part of this fine old Flemish town is a ruin. The Germans managed to get the range with their heavy artillery, and from dawn onward 11-inch and 13-inch shells were poured into the city, 'The town itself is deserted, and no loss of life resulted from the heavy shell fire.'" The inundation in Flanders, which prevented the Germans from making their way along the coast in their efforts to reach Calais, are now proving equally unfavorable to the allies, who are finding it impossible to proceed through these marny regions. The Germans have been obliged to evacuate Middickerke, on the coast, half way between Nieuport and Ostend, and this point has not yet been occupied by the allies. The following official bulletins were issued: GERMAN. Our attacks near Ypres are pro- graming slowly. More than 600 French colored and English prisoner- nage have been taken and several machine- guns captured. Further south our troops also are advancing, the strong counter attack- of the British forces having been repulsed. "In the Argonnes the fighting is progressing favorably, hostile attacks being easily repulsed." FRENCH. "At the north the battle continues very violent. There is nothing ooise to report on any part of the front." Tired Combatants Sink to Rest When Opportunity Offers. ```markdown ``` Photo by American Press Association. "The action continued all day Monday with the same intensity that has characterized the previous fighting between the sea and the region of Armeniles. The encounters were of particular violence for the reason that the opposing forces were alternately taking the offensive. "Summing up, it may be said that the day was marked by the checking of a German attack in considerable force to the south of Ypres, and by perceptible progress on the part of French forces in the vicinity of Blisschoe and between Ypres and Armeniles. "Equally on the front of the British troops all the German attacks were repulsed with energy." "Along the major part of the front from the canal of La Basse as far as the Woveye our troops made secure the results attained in the course of the last few days. There should be reported also our progress in the region of Lolivre, between Rheim and Berryau-lac. "In Lorraine there is nothing new to report. "In the Voeges fresh attacks on the part of the enemy directed against the heights to the south of Mount Salifte Marte and to the southeast of Thann all have been reported." THE EMDEN DRIVEN ASHORE AND BURNED German Cruiser Destroyed by Australian Warship. The German cruiser Emden, which has been preyed upon British commerce in the Orient ever since the beginning of the war in Europe, has been destroyed by the Australian warship Sydney, in the bay of Bengal. This announcement was given officially by the British admiralty in London. The Emden was driven ashore upon one of the Cocos islands, or Keeling islands, in the Indian ocean. The loss of life on the Emden is reported to have been heavy. The casualties on the Sydney were three men killed and fifteen wounded. All possible assistance is now being given to the survivors of the Emden by the various ships which have been dispatched to the scene of the fight. The Koenigaberg is Bottled Up. The German cruiser Koenigaberg, which disabled the British cruiser Pegasus some weeks ago, has been bottled up at Mafia Islands, on the coast of German East Africa, by the blocking of the channel to the harbor. The British cruiser Chatham discovered the hiding place of the Koenigaberg. Owing to a greater draught the Chatham could not reach the Koenigaberg, which probably is a ground except at high water. Part of the crew of the Koenigaberg has been landed and is entrenched on the banks of the river. Both these entrenchments and the Koenigaberg herself have been bombed by the Chatham, but owing to the dense palm groves amid which the ship lies, it is not possible to estimate the damage done. Pending operations for her capture or destruction, effective steps have been taken to block the Koenigsberg by staking colliers in the only navigable channel to the river, and she is now imprisoned and unable to do any further harm. No Food For Idia Belglans A proclamation issued by the Germans at Brussels specifically threatens, according to a dispatch to Rentier's Telegram company from Amsterdam, to stop the distribution of food by the American relief committees among the unemployed until the Belgians go to work. Victoria Enter Teing-Tea. Japanese and English troops formally took possession of the German headquarters of Kiao-Chase in China. Berlin Cialms Victory in East Prussia—Kalser in Effort to Repel Russians Weakens Western Army. All zones of contact in the casters theater of war are now within our man territory. The Russians, without much effort have passed the river Warthe, along which the Germans were expected to offer the most stubborn resistance of the campaign, and have prepared for ward to points well inside the borders of Posen province and into Sliesia. The Austro-Germans in the south continue their hasty retreat from southwestern Poland, and the Russian advance guard has reached a point within twenty miles of Cracow. It is believed that the investment of that stronghold, which has boon termed the "gateway to Sliesia" will begin within twenty-four hours. In the extreme north along the east Prussian frontier, the Russians have captured 1500 railroad wagons loaded with coal. The resistance of the kaiser's army in the East Prussian zone is growing weaker, and the Russians already have penetrated to points several miles beyond the border. The Austrian evacuation of the positions to the southeast of Lemberg in South Galicia and in Bukowina is reported in Petrograd to be continue. There also are indications that the entire Austrian line, from Stryi to Gorzhowitz, is being gradually abandoned. In the center a Russian cavalry screen, matching on Posen, has now pierced the left flank of the German central army at Kotlin, thereby nullifying the entire defensive of the Germans inside the Polish frontier. The cear's central army, which is his main body of troops, under command of the Grund lake Nicholas holds without resistance the great line of entrenchments known as the Thorn-Cracow line of fortifications. This line extends from Kalkacz, in the north, through Czernostochowa to Cracow. The left wing of this army, it is true, is not in Cracow, but the ad vance is being pushed rapidly. Berlin Claims Victory in Prussia. Another Russian repulse upon the blood-drenched and trench-scarred hills of the eastern frontier of East Prussia has been reported to Berlin from Gumbinton, under the date of Nov. 5. Simultaneously with their operations against the main Germany army under General Von Hindenburg, on the line of the river Warthe, the Russians attempted to break into East Prussia by the other route south of Wirballen, but they were met at the frontier by General Von Morgon's army and after heavy fighting were driven back across the frontier. No intimations regarding the strength of the forces engaged have been published in Berlin, but they must have been considerable, inso much as the Russians are reported to have left 400 prisoners in the hands of the Germans. THOUSANDS OF TURKS TAKEN BY RUSSIANS Thousands of Turkish prisoners have been taken by the Russian army of invasion in Armenia during the last two days of fighting, it is officially announced from field headquarters in Tiflis. The official statement follows: "The Russian army of the Caucasus continues to operate successfully against the Turks. The Kurd cavalry has been scattured and during the last two days thousands of prisoners have been taken." The Turks have placed a considerable body of troops composed of regulars and armed peasanty, upon the Persian frontier. "The Russians have taken an important Turkish position twenty-five miles east of Erzurum on the left bank of the Pasin river. "The Russians are advancing between the Polish mountains and the ranges lying on the southern border of the village of Erzurum, having an army of more than 600,000 men. It consists of cavalry and infantry, heavily supported by field artillery." Bulgaria Preparing For War.

Potato Quarantine The department of agriculture announced that it is considering a quarterline on potatoes in New York similar to the one in Maine because of the presence of the powdery stone disease on potatoes in the northern part of the state. A hearing will be held in Washington on Nov. 13 to decide. About 1000 men may have been lost in the naval battle Sunday morning, when five German cruisers defeated four British naval vessels off the coast of Chile. The British cruiser Monmouth went down. The Good Hope, the Glasgow and the Otranto sought refuge in Chilean harbors. Russian forces have crossed the Turkish frontier and captured eight villages, driving before them the Ottoman troops which opposed them. Continued force fighting, with little material change in positions, is reported from the battle front in northern France and Belgium, where the army of the kaiser is trying to force a way through the allies' lines along the north coast. The Germans are reported to have withdrawn slightly from the river Yaar and appear to be preparing a new move against the allies' line near Ypres, Belgium. THURSDAY. Great Britain formally declared a state of war existed with Turkey. A crushing defeat has been dealt to German arms in western Poland, so cording to official dispatches from Petrograd The czar's army, pursuing the Germans, is reported to have routed the kaiser's troops, capturing 15,000 men and 100 guns. It is also related that the Germans have been forced back along the East Prussian frontier. Two German cruisers have been lost to the kaiser's navy. The York is described as having been sunk by a mine in Jado bay and the Koenigisberg is said to have been put out of action in the Indian ocean. The German army in Belgium is heavily reinforcing its right wing near Thielf, northeast of Courtral, supposedly in preparation for another drive at the point of the allied forces. FRIDAY. The two great armies—that of the kaiser and that of the English, French and Belgians—are still locked in desperate grapple in northern France and Belgium. Artillery is being used extensively Arras, France, is being heavily shelled. Lille is reported on fire. Forty huge guns are said to be on the way from the Krupp works to the German front. The combat between Dixmude and the Lys, in Belgium, still rakes forcefully. Retreat by the German forces along the entire East Prussian frontier is reported in an official statement in Petrograd. The Russians have occupied town of Lyk and Blaha, in East Prussia, and thus have intercepted direct communication between the kaiser's army in the north and the forces which have just retreated from Poland to the south SATURDAY. With the exception of the fall of Tsing-Tau, in China, the most significant report from any of the battle fronts and the most welcome from the allies' point of view, is that the Russian army, besides driving the Austrians back into Galicia have reached the Warth river, in Russet Poland, and established themselves on the East Prussian frontier. A Berlini official report admits that some Russian cavalry crossed the Warth river. In the west the same ding-dong fighting which has been going on for months continues. Belgians who hold the lines along the coast are being given a comparative rest after their three months of almost continuous fighting. The Germans still are concentrating around Ypres, where they are trying to hack their way through the Anglo-French troops which bas their way to the coast. SUNDAY Two notable advances are claimed by the allies in the fighting in Belgium and northern France; one in the region of Messines, near Ypres, and another around Solssons. The Germans announce the capture of an important position near Vienne-le-Chateau, west of the forest of Argonne. The British troops have progressed slightly in the neighborhood of Armenierrese and between La Bassee and Arras, German attacks are reported to have been repulsed. Russian cavalry has penetrated the German frontier of Posen, damaging the railroad station at Pleschen, northwest of Kulitz, about forty miles between the German entrenchments along the Warte river. Other Russian forces have penetrated Eastern Prussia, dialogging the Germans at Wulballen, on the roads to Insterberg. MONDAY. Sweeping the armies of the kaiser before it, the great Russian war machine has cleared the dominions of the carr of his foes, and has invaded Germany at three points—the provinces of Poison, Silesia and East Prussia. The way seems open for the long heralded advance toward Berlin. Fighting which extends over the entire battle front, from Belgium, on through France, to the Swiss frontier, has been in progress in the western field of operations for three days. In Flenders German forces have been hurled repeatedly against the allies' line in the region from Ypres, Belgium, to the Lys river, the British troops bearing the brunt of the assaults, in every instance, according to statements made officially in Paris, the Germans have been repulsed, and at several points the allies have gained ground.

First of these was the Koenigsberg, which has been raining in the Indian ocean. According to the Times this vessel has been put out of action, although no details of how this end has been accomplished are forthcoming. Second, and regarded as of more importance, the German cruiser Yorkst struck a mine in Jade bay and was sunk. This information reached London in an Amsterdam dispatch to the Reuter Telegram company. It stated that an official dispatch from Berlin, said the Yorkst on the foremost of Nov. 4, had struck a mine chali blocking the entrance to Jade bay and sank. Late reports say that 382 men, more than half of the crew, already had been saved, but the rescue work was hampered by a thick fog. F. A. Heinze Dlesa. P.

THE ECONOMY, SATURDAY NOVEMBER 14, 1914 The Scrap Book Saved the Family Reputation. At a banquet of the ministers of New York Dr. Johnson of the Morrisania church told this story: "One of the members of my church, a very generous man, has instilled into his family the belief that the collection is a necessary and vitally important part of the service. Consequently his little boy, Thomas, never comes to church without his contribution. ```markdown ``` "One Sunday, as the elders began to take up the collection at the morning service, Thomas looked along the pew to see if the various members of the family "WHERE IS YOUR various members MONEY?" of. the family were provided with a contribution. "Noticing a guest of his sister empty handed, he whispered: "Here—take mine. That'll pay for you, and I'll get under the coat." "And, flinging his own coin into her lap, he disappeared under the pew, where he remained until the elder had gone by—and the reputation of the family was saved."-Popular Magazine.

One of Meamore Kendall's friends took a trip to Europe not long ago—his first trip abroad. After he reached London unexpected business took him to Paris. Upon his return he was telling Kendall about his experiences. "I don't speak any French," he said, "and I didn't know the name of any Paris hotels, so when we landed at Calais I bought a lot of postal cards of Paris views, because I figured there'd be a picture of one of the big hotels, anyhow. Sure enough I found a postcard showing a great big stone building with flags on it, and it was called Hotel de Ville." "That'll do for me," says to myself, "So when we got to Paris I climbs into a taxi and says 'Hotel de Ville' to the driver." "Do you know where he took me? The derned fool drove me to the city hall."—Saturday Evening Post. Hang It All! The village carpenter had given so generously of his services and sound advice, toward rebuilding the school that when it was completed the villagers agreed that he should be asked to speak after the luncheon which was to follow the opening service. The day and the carpenter's speech came. "Ladies and gentlemen — Dear friends," he began, his brown face very red indeed, "I am a great deal better fitted for the scaffold than for public speaking." Then he realized what he had said and sat down amid tears of laughter.—London Telegraph. Answered In Rime In the olden time before the war, the days so famous for generous hospitality in the south, a brilliant party was assembled at dinner in a beautiful country homestead. Across the table wit flashed back and forth, and the guests began to vie with one another in proposing conundrums. Alexander H. Stephens offered one which puzzled the whole company. "What is that we eat at breakfast and drink at dinner?" For some time no answer came, and the bright eyes of the southern orator began to sparkle with triumph, when Ovidioel Johnson, taking up the "Compliments Book" of the hostess, which may conveniently by, wrote impromptu upon the flyleaf the following answer: "What is eaten for breakfast and drinks for dinner?" In it coffee or eggs or butter or mocha? How double the stomach of obdurate dinner Who eats what he drinks and drinks what he eats. The two older inhabitants were very nurtured, neither of them being able to tell the time of day. A friend loved them. Both gave him a watch of time, but he very proud. One day he saw the scurvy at the other sheep. rival, mall, "Say, Ben, what time have ye got" The other old fellow draw out his watch and turned its face toward his inquisition "There she be!" he exclaimed. Pete was almost at a loom, but he made a magnificent effort and retorted, "Blame if she ain't!" ROCKEFELLER HUMOR. John D's Brand is Dry, and It Usually Hits the Mark. Of late years there has grown up in Cleveland an impression that Neighbor Rockefeller, despite his pathetically serious cast of countenance, possesses a good deal of dry humor. In support of this people cite the answer he made on the witness stand at a Standard Oil hearing. The attorney for the government had asked him if it were true that the Standard controlled the oil supply of the entire world, to which query Rockefeller replied, "Not yet." In the same connection one may recall the remark that he made to a friend who found him playing golf one day all alone and asked him if he wouldn't prefer to have an opponent to make the game more interesting. With a twinkle of his eye the oil dealer answered, "No; I never could stand the iden of competition." There is evidence that Rockefeller had a sense of humor as early as the seventies. In those days he had not yet become inaccessible, and, although he was careful not to let any visitor about the Standard offices find out anything concerning his business, he was not much more difficult to reach than the proprietor of a barness shop. One morning there entered the Rockefeller private office a large, querulous Irishman, a contractor, who had had some business dealings with Rockefeller's oil company and was nurturing a grievance. The visitor briefly set forth his grievance and then, opened up with a stream of vituperative profanity at Rockefeller personally. Through it all Rockefeller sat as if preoccupied, staring at a little spot on his left thumb nail. When the visitor had quite finished his tirade the oil refiner turned to him as if he had just recalled his presence and asked quietly, "Now, will you please repeat that?" The absurdity of the request is said to have appealed so strongly to the brusque caller that he burst out laughing, and the differences were soon amicably adjusted. Then there is the remark he once made to a waiter in a Cleveland hotel. The noonday luncheon menu at the hotel included roast beef and potatoes for 35 cents, and Rockefeller had been in the habit of ordering roast beef and potatoes with the utmost abandon. One day the scale of prices was advanced. Roast beef alone cost 35 cents; potatoes, cost 10 cents extra. Rockefeller had been giving the waiter a ten cent tib, but in view of the extra charge for potatoes he laid out only a nickel for the waiter. The latter reproached him peculiarly, saying, "If I had as much money as you have I wouldn't squeeze a nickel so hard." "Well," retorted the oll man, "if you squeezed a nickel as hard as I do you wouldn't be a waiter." — Saturday Evening Post Don't Fear Defeat. If thou knowest only what it is to conquer and knowest not what it is to be defecated, woe unto thee! It will fare ill with thee—Iyeyasu (Japanese philosopher). Underdone. A French peasant once made a visit, his first one, to Paris. He went into a cafe and ordered a glass of beer. The waiter brought the beer, together with, as usual in good cafes, a small round piece of felt, on which he placed the glass. The countryman looked at the felt doubtfully. Then he lifted it and tried to bite it. Glancing round S. M. C. to make sure that nobody wade watching him, he took out his knife and glanced around again, and then cut the felt into small pieces. These he gulped down one by one and finally washed them down with his beer. "Another bear," he said. "But no hurt this time!" No Fun in It. Lincoln gave tried to read to Stanley, who could not abide his chair! a chapter from Aristotle Ward's book. Stanley left the room in a pet, but throw over his shoulder a parting shot by asking, "How do you like the chapter adapted from himself?" To which Stanley replied humbly, "Do you know to your own credit, but I should." THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ROLL ON, SILVER MOON. As I strayed from my cot at the close of the day.

HUMORS OF LAW. We laugh at old Wouter van Twiller. Whose mode of deciding a case Was to go by the looks and the weight of the books Which the lawyers brought into his place. We jest at his manner of judging Because it is queer in our eyes. And the crudite way of our jurists today Show up as decidedly wise. For now they determine on justice By means that are noble to see. By a comma misplaced in a proofreader's haste Or a failure at crossing a "t." And having thus climbed to perfection. To justice ans error or flaw.

When the mass martyrs of the insane soldiery are done there will be a day of reckoning for kings. Civilization is in travail. A new child is about to enter the human family. It will be more enlightened than its elder brothers and will advance the cause of all mankind its mother. European monarchy, may pay for its advent with her own life, or she may drag along for a time in invadium, but her end is not far distant. The people as a whole hate war. Their being forced into it will drive out of the minds all avenge of devotion to monarch. The time is not remote, when militarism will end and wars cease. The masses are already of a mind to strip autocrats of their power to send armies to death and countries to ruin. Danish Democrat. SERVIA'S BATTLE HYMN. Rise, O servians, swift arise!

After they had been caught in the net, it is alleged and has signed a confession of their guilt. Mrs. Ellen Atkins, twenty-six years old, and Mrs. H. C. Thompson, forty years of age both white were arrested early yesterday morning by Detective Sergeants Wiley and Kellam on a charge of shoplifting preferred against them by the form of Miller & Rhoads. It was at 3 o'clock, after an all night search, that the two detectives finally located the women in their apartments at 2111 East Broad Street. Both women were in bed and asleep when the detectives walked in on them. They protested at the rude awakening, were made to address and were then taken to the First Police Station, where they remained in arrested until yesterday afternoon. They were bailed then, each in the form of Foom with J. A. Felph and A. L. Lord as bondmen, for their appearance in Police Court this morning. According to police accounts, the two women were discovered in the act of stealing a handsome broad cloth suit in Miller & Roads' department store, and were taken back into the private offices, where, with evil defense against them in the hands of store employees, they are said to have acknowledged their guilt and to have signed a confession. They were then permitted to leave the store. Later, however, the proprietors of the store decided to swear out a warrant against them, and the case was placed in the hands of Detective Sergeants Wiley and Kellam, armed with the proper warrant, the detectives searched the women's apartment, and found there several hundred dollars worth of merchandise alleged to have been stolen from Broad Street stores. They found handsome suits, underwear of all descriptions, stockings, silk blouses and a quantity of other things dear to every woman's heart. Except what they store and what plainly appeared to be their own personal property, everything found in the possession of the two women was confiscated by the detectives and was taken to the First Police Station to be used as evidence against them. MANY RECENT THEFTS FROM BROAD STREET STORES It is alleged that there have been extensive thefts from the Broad Street stores lately. Among those which have suffered are Miller & Roads, Cohey's and J. B. Mosby & Co. It is said that merchandise belonging to each of them was found by the detectives in their early morning raid. The women are said to be employed in a Main Street shoe store. They took their arrest calmly and, aside from their protestations at being awakened at such an hour, occasioned the police no trouble. It was stated recently that because of the large number of shoplifting cases, several retail stores had indicated their purpose of prosecuting all offenders, instead of allowing the matter to be hushed up on the return of the stolen goods. CHURCH MEMBER CAUSES ABREST OF MISSIONARY Factions in White Rock Baptist (Colored) Clash, and Police Take a Hand. Jackson Ward has a war of its own The congregation of the White Rock Baptist Church is divided within itself, and the factions are so bitter against one another that the missionary, now in charge of the little sanctuary, with one of his trusty helenants, were arrested last night on a warrant sworn out by a member of the congregation, and were forced to spend some time in the Second Police Station while awaiting the appearance of a bondman. Rey, Wingfeld F. Scott is the preacher's name, and the faithful one who followed him to trouble is James William. The member who caused their arrest is A. L. Launders who charged the preacher and the other man with disturbing the religious worship at the church on Sunday. Bicycle Policeman Tiller arrested the men and sent them to the stationhouse, which was hilled to overflowing a short while after with members of the congregation who were "on the missionary's side of the argument." They came in: a drove, men and women and women carrying infants in their arms. In the centre of the group was the wife of the Rev. Scott, who loudly bewailed the disgrace of the arrest. Justice of the Peace Purdle finally consented to bail the men, when it was discovered that none of the persons present owned property in the State, and at last succeeded in clearing the station-house of the crowd. They were all admonished to appear in court this morning, and to bring as many witnesses as possible. According to the preacher, the trouble is the outstretch of financial undertakings on the part, of the church. Several of the members on his side are said to have made loans of tables chairs and lamps to the house of worship. Later, additional furnishings were required, and one of the members provided the funds. But, instead of presenting them in church and before the eyes of the congregation, where all might see the money change hands, he is alleged to have done so at a private house. The other members of the congregation were later called upon to make donations, but, after doing so, alleged that they were never given the opportunity of seeing the money counted in church. Consequently, they refused to make further payments. On Sunday affairs reached a critical stage, and those who upheld the preacher are said to have visited the church and taken out the tables and chairs which they furnished. A later call was made, and the lamps were also secured. Then it was that the opposition asserted itself. Services could not be held, and the worship was interfered with. This caused the issuance of the warrants, and the subsequent arrest. The entire matter will be thrashed out in court this morning before Justice Griggs. Times Dispatch Nov. 5, 1914. SECURS $875 JUDGMENT AGAINST MAN IN JAIL. J. R. Mosby & Co. Given Verdict In Circuit Court Against Isalab Ross Isaiah Ross, colored, who was convicted last June of stealing a hundred dollars' worth of merchandise from J. B. Mosby & Co., incorporated, appeared yesterday morning in the City Circuit Court to answer a civil action brought against him, and judgment by consent for $37 was rendered in favor of the plaintiff. Recovery will be had by laying through the city, on property owned by Ross on the east side of Thirty-second Street, between S and Kuhn Streets. The house was recently condemned by the city to make way for a street, and the sum awarded to J. B. Mosby & Co. in the City Circuit Court yesterday will be paid from the amount owing to the negro from the city as a result of the condemnation proceedings. It is seldom that civil action follows criminal proceedings but when it was found that Ross was possessed of valuable property and would be able to pay judgment, suit was brought against him. He was brought from the City Jail, where he has been serving a twelve-month term and the award of $375 was agreed upon as payment in full of all loss sustained by the company through the negro's depreciations. Ross was for years employed as a porter by J. B. Mosby & Co., and complete reliance was placed in him. When his thefts became more bold and assumed larger proportions, the company began an investigation, with the result that Ross was suspected. He was arrested, and a search of his house disclosed that he had stolen suits, hostery, silks and satins, underwear and all the finery of women's apparel to the value, the company claimed, of $700. The company was unable to prove, however, the exact value and the amount of goods stolen and a compromise was reached. Times Dispatch. Nov. 5. HER OWN STATEMENT FREED HER Annie Johnson, a colored woman charged with the murder of Edward Davies, also colored, in her home on October 9, was dismissed from custody in Police Court. No evidence could be uncovered against her, as there were no witnesses to the shooting. The woman claimed that the killing was the result of an accident. Through her attorneys, Gilbert K. Pollock and T. Gray Haddon, she entered a plan of not guilty and then proceeded to tell how she killed Davis with the pistol. She said that she and Davis were joking and that she snatched up the revolver, pointed it in his face and pulled the trigger all in fun. She thought the gun unloaded. Davis fell from the chair in which he was slitting, to the floor with a bullet wound in his head. He was unconscious and, therefore, no other account of the shooting except that told by the woman could be obtained. Acting Justice Griggs did not think that there was sufficient evidence to hold the woman and for that reason agreed to release her. ACCIDENTALLY SHOT. Samuel Andrew Vaughn a sixteen year-old colored boy, was shot and instantly killed Saturday night at his home on the Williamsburg Road. a short distance from Seven Pines, by Addison Bayle, eighteen years-old, one of his playmates. The accident was the result of some foolishness on the part of Bagley, but it is believed to have been purely accidental. Vaughan was whitewashing his room when Bagley picked up a shotgun from a corner and pointed the weapon at his friend. His hand accidentally touched the trigger and the firearm was discharged, the entire load penetrating. Vaughan's head. Bagley has been taken into custody and is now being detained at Henrico County Jail. An inquest will be held today at Henrico Courthouse by Cotton F. Fulmer Bright Bagley has been sent to the Reformatory. Leonburg (Va.) Noten. Mrs. Garner Diggs after a weeks visit in Washington with friends returned home Tuesday Nov. 3rd.

Holy Trinity People Jubilant—Let test of Congratulation 16.21 Christian St., Philadelphia Pa. Editor "Richmond Planet," Rich- mond, Va. My Dear Sir: Knowing that you and my many thousands of friends in Virginia are mindful as to my well-doing, I thought I would drop these few notices as to my success in church work. The Holy Trinity Baptist Church has been renovated and beautified until it created righteous demeany, and now we have at least five other churches that have followed suit in making their church buildings more attractive. Our church continues in a high spiritual mood, for every Sunday and nearly every Friday evening, there are happy accession, until now more than fifteen hundred (1,500) persons have joined the church in the three years I have been here. On year tuesday we had a special effort in money raising from which $1150 has laid on the table, with more than was laid on the table. Our congregations continue overflowing. Infused, Holy Trinity has become a sort of church headquarters for Virginians and North Carolinians. They know it is the place to meet their friends and worship in the old-fashioned way. Our debt, when we came here, was a little over nineteen thousand dollars ($19000.) We added six thousand ($6000) for repairs and renovation. It may be seen how well we have done financially when I tell you our debt now all it is about nine thousand, five hundred dollars ($2500),—and this is considered a small debt in the North. Here are some letters from friends that denote appreciation for our work: Kings Park, N. Y. Nov. 2, 1914. My Dear Brother Graham. I received your letter of appeal. I take pleasure in sending you three dollars (3,00) for your good work; one for my dear husband, who is in Heaven, one for our daughter, and one for myself.

I have had intimate knowledge of the management of Holy Trinity Baptist Church from its inception. Soldom, if ever, have I more willingly and gladly contributed to similar work. With best wishes for your contin- used success. I am faithfully yours. (Signed) N. F. Mossell, Medical Director and Supt. Frederick Douglass Memorial Hospital and Training School. Philadelphia, Oct. 26, 1914. My dear Dr. Graham: I received a very kind letter from you last week in which you do me the honor of making for a contribution towards the Rally in behalf of Holy Trinity Church. I beg to say that I find genuine pleasure in responding to your very modest request. There is no man in America for whom I have a higher regard, and I venture the statement, that no man of our Race excels you in useful, helpful, patriotic and Christian service.
