The Leading Weekly Journal in the State. VOLUME XXXII, NO. 40 R!CHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY: AUGUST 21, 1915 Dr. Lewis REPLY TO Dr. Woods Mr. Editor:— I have read the second deliverance of Dr. R. C. Woods on the Unity of the Baptists of Virginia; and from its tone and matter he is beginning to show signs of nervousness and exasperation which is evident from the confusion of thought and violent language which characterized his last utterances. It is ever thus, however, with the man who happens to be on the losing side. It is plain to our readers that between the syllaba and charybdis of my last rejoinder that Dr. Woods' little craft disappeared in the sullen waters of logic and common sense, and now from the depths of helplessness and defeat he feign would accuse me of evading the question at issue and seeking to mislead an innocent people. But you need not worry, Dr. Woods, the jury before whom we are discussing this question is intelligent and is not so easily misled as you think. The people are of the opinion that when Dr. Galvin slipped out of the discussion he left you in a bad box. Now we turn our attention to what Dr. Woods regards as an answer to my last article. In scratching with much care into the four columns of chaff which he poured out last week, we found four or five grains of wheat—not truths—statements that we might with propriety consider. --- THE Cause of Separation Stated Clearly. As to the origin and cause of the separation of the Baptist of Virginia, let me say that in this matter Dr. Woods gives a splendid demonstration of the difference between the man who makes history and the one who simply recites it; between the man who is the author of a fact and the one who just heard about it. Even if Dr. Woods were told the facts he establishes them very slovenly. He is the modern Ahimazan who runs on swift foot to tell what he does not know: he runs without the message. Note his words: "In 1839, when the Home Mission Society wanted to control it (Virginia Seminary) the convention objected then came the split." Here is a great gap in historical events as given by this historian. He states emphatically that there was no cooperation between the Home Mission Society and the State Convention from 1867 to 1899 and yet he says the Society wanted to control it (Seminary) and the convention objected. Since cooperation was the thing unknown to the two bodies as regards the Seminary how did the Society become related to it to the extent of wanting to control it? It is too plain that there was some sort of working together of these two bodies, otherwise there would not have been any effort to control on the part of the Society. Your memory is treacherous, Dr. Woods, and it has put you into a trap as to what relation the Home Mission Society sustained to the Baptist State Convention as regards the Virginia Seminary. You unwittingly prove my statement true concerning the cooperative relation from 1867 to 1899, between the Virginia Baptist and the Home Mission Society, even though in words you attempted to dispute it. OLD WELLS DUG OUT IN BAPTIST HISTORY. But how did the Home Mission Society become related to Virginia Seminary? Digging in the old wells we find that after the Baptists of the State had begun the building of Virginia Seminary they made a formal application to the Home Mission Society for financial help in the form of loans and annual contributions to the work. Bear in mind the society did not seek us in the matter of forming the Virginia Seminary, but we, the Virginia Baptist, sought the Society. Seeing that we were financially stranded, the Society agreed to assist us in the amount of $1,500 annually; on the condition that we make a report to the said Society annually concerning the receipts and expenditures of monies as other schools which received like assistance from the Society were doing. It is just to say that the Society came to our relief, not willingly but reluctantly and only after much persuasion on our part, as the financial burden of the Society was great, at that time, having many schools to support in the various states while carrying on a stupendous missionary work throughout the world. THE PRESIDENT OF VIRGINIA SEMINARY WAS PAID BY THE SOCIETY. For several years the Virginia Society received money from the Society and cheerfully and willingly complied with the easy condition of making a report to the Society. Does not this look like cooperation in running our Negro schools? Under those conditions Prof. G. W. Hayes worked for several years, as did Des. Fox, Graham, Harvey Johnson and all the Baptists of Virginia. Of course these things happened before 1899 when we had the separation of forces. Do you hear me, Dr. Woods? I know the facts in the case. For when you and many of your would-be leaders were sleeping in the shell of obscurity and your voice was not even heard on the barn-yard of public life. I was crowing and scratching for Virginia Seminary and other interests of the Baptist State Convention. I was there when the ground was bought and the corner stone of the institution was laid. I know the facts. After drawing money from the Society for several years with which to pay Prof. Hayes, the president, a new idea struck the management of that institution and it was thought best to discontinue the help of the Society and accordingly Prof. Hayes stopped complying with the conditions aforesaid, that is, making a report to the Society of the receipts and expenditures of the moneys of the institution. The Society insisted that we, Virginia Baptists, keep our agreement, and hero is the effort to control for which the said Society stands condemned by Dr. Woods and other misinformed brethren of Virginia. The Society only wanted the money which was lent the school and not the school. Who blames it? But why did we part? Dr. Woods states that it was because we wanted the Society to own the Virginia Seminary. Goe! That is a whopper! Could anything be farther from truth? Dr. Woods does not believe that himself. But he has a great faculty for borrowing things from others and he does not always get the true and the wise thing. WANTED TO KEEP THE CON TRACT UNTIL LEGALLY ANNULLED We divided on the question of right and wrong; honesty and dishonesty. We, the Baptist State Convention had applied to the Society for help, we received that help on a contract with the Society that we would make report of our financial workings so far as Virginia Seminary was concerned. The management of the school—Prof. G. W. Hayes, refused to comply with the conditions of said contract as he had been doing for years, and his actions were sustained by a part of the members of the convention while the other part of said convention disagreed with the course of Prof. Hayes, feeling that we should keep our contract in good faith until it could be severed by mutual consent of the two contracting parties. Not being willing to account for money has split many or our churches. Here is the cause of our separation. This is the filling of the mischievous gaps which Dr. Woods left in his historical recital for some reason, obviously to evade the truth. HAYES DEAD BUT YET SPEAKS We make no pretense to a defense of the Society, for it needs none, all my hands. But any one who did not know the facts would conclude, or reading Dr. Woods' distribe, that these white people were the Negroes greatest enemies, that they were opposed to the Negro owning any property, etc., while it is generally known that all our educational advantages are traceable to their efforts on our behalf. When we as a race were down and out they built our schools paid our teachers, furnished us Bibles and other religious literature and rendered possible the exigence of Virginia Seminary and other Negro schools, and finally permitted us to co-operate with them in our racial uplift. Northern white people especially - this Society, have proven themselves our friends, and the bitter spirit of some of our brethren against them reminds me of the hog that eats all the fruit from the tree and then exhibits his swain's gratitude by rooting up the tree that gave him food and shade. On the other hand I have no word of censure to utter against Prof. Hayes. I reverence his memory. I had him baptized into our denomination; he was once a member of my church. I had him elected as president of Virginia Seminary. He was, in my opinion, a great teacher. His influence and his words are the forts from which Dr. Woods and his followers are firing today; but for him there would have been no division among the Baptists of this state. I opposed him, not because I loved him loss, but the denomination more. SCHOOLS TO DESTROY IGNOR ANGEL NOT SCHOOLS. These nine schools founded by members of the General Association controlled and managed by Groeger: seem to be the stones of stumbling to Dr. Woods. He claimed at first that they were founded by the Home R!CHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1915 (Richmond, Va. Evening Journal, Aug. 14, 915.) Judge Beverley T. Crump, of the Law and Equity Court, today granted the petition of the Lafayette Apartment Corporation for a writ of mandamus to compel Building Inspector John Butler to issue a permit to the corporation to build an apartment house on Grace Street, between Shafer and Harrison Streets. The city signified its intention to appeal, and an order was issued suspending the writ for thirty days to allow the appeal. The court, in the order, adjudged that the wait be directed to Building Inspector Butler, and not to the Board of Public Safety. The judge held, that the ordinance passed by the city June 12, 1915, is unconstitutional, as it violates the fourteenth amendment of the United States. TEXT OF THE OPINION Following is the text of the opinion: In the Law and Equity Court of the City of Richmond. Lafayette Apartment Corporation vs. John E Butler, Building Inspector, et al. Application for Mandamus MEMORANDUM BY COURT. In this proceeding the petitioner applies for a mandanus to compel the Building Inspector to grant a permit for the erection of an apartment house at the southwest corner of Grace and Shafer Streets in the city of Richmond. No objection is raised to the plans or materials of construction, but the refusal to grant the permit is based upon the ordinance of the City Council, enacted June 12, 1915, prescribing a building line twenty feet from the street line for the southern side of Grace Street, on the block between Shafer and Harrison Streets. The petitioner declined to comply with this ordinance, and contends that it is unconstitutional. In that it unreasonably infringes upon the just use of private property, and is therefore in conflict with the fourteenth amendment to the United States Constitution. The block in question has been occupied by buildings along its entire front for many years past, and it is proposed to take down the building at the corner of Shafer Street for the purpose of erecting the apartment house. Excluding the building at that corner there are seventeen houses on the block. The seven buildings nearest to Harrison Street extend, as they have stood for some years, far beyond the building line, being on the average a distance of nine or ten feet from the street line, two of them being less than eight feet from it. The other ten buildings are about on the twenty-foot line, though projections from the front walls of several of them extend beyond it. The owners of these ten buildings applied to the City Council for the establishment of the building line, upon learning of the intention of the petitioner to erect an apartment house within eight feet of the street line. THE COURT'S OPINION. Upon consideration of all the facts appearing from the papers in the case, I am of the opinion as follows: 1. The ordinance- In question is legislative in character. And inasmuch as it does not contain the essential requisite for a valid exercise of the right of eminent domain, it is to be regarded altogether as adopted in the exercise, through the municipal authorities, of the police power of the State and its validity is to be passed upon in the light of the principles established by the law, according to which the absolute dominion over real estate ordinarily accorded to the owner is to be yielded in the interest of the public. State vs. Lawing, 51 L. R. A. (N. S.) 62 and notes. 2. The interference by the State, in the exercise of the police power, with the rights of property usually possessed by the owner, has of recent years been greatly extended, so that it may embrace not only the public welfare and health, but even the public comfort and convenience. Yet as was said by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of A. T. & S. Railway Company vs. Vosburg (decided June 1, 1915), and reported in the advance opinions: "But we cannot at all agree that a Do fun of my life, chile—what! whar?

To the Richmond Planet, Richmond, Va., E. S. A. I certainly owe you many thanks for the numerous fayors which you have shown me. And I truly hope that my "mischief making" has not caused your disaster; or the least prejudice to your organ. I rather hope that conditions of international politics have caused your good readers to open their minds to the dominant truths in political economy. And I hope that their minds are really prepared to receive a little more plain facts about the matter in your beautiful country: Because I feel like talking just a little plainer than ever I have before. I feel like telling you some steel-minded truths. I feel like turning the light upon the damnables of the propaganda eminator from Tussey, Alabama. And I really believe that your readers should be anxious to know more of my reasons for daring to contend with, and other preparandas, which World Well, my good readers, by the goodness of the editor or I will endeavor to explain a small but important fact to you, which may bring you much closer to yourselves. And cause even those risky negatives to hostile before probably lynching an individual because of color. I will inform you, however, that I have read that very important letter of Mr. Church's in Pittsburgh, in response to Mr. Chapman in Germany. The letter which was signed by so many German professors. But I am more concerned with securing America for the American, than to condemn, or defend either of the beckonent nations of Europe. For I have told you that we are on the threshold of a millennium. And I have been trying to prepare the negroes and all America, for the occasion. This is a hard job, but it must be done some way. Thus I shall preach to your salvation! Therefore I shall ask you to help you'them get better for your comprehension and come up to the present time, noting every important turn in the current, while I sight to your mind the real cause of the trouble with negroes in America. And some of the reasons why, that I have advocated a division in the black man's vote, and higher education for negroes, with a serious study of political and social economy. The reason why I tell you to study civil government, and the reasons you should take an active part in every part of your government while keeping your readers thoroughly posted upon every political move of the nation, in harmony with the other nations, or with her own citizens. Thus may I repeat with Solomon that "money is the root of all social evil" or the most of them at least. You all know from what classes the various settlers, and what their purposes were in coming to the "new world." And consequently their "minds operandum," from then, to now. Thus I am saved the paths of telling you this very old story. I am left to tell you, however, that your civil war, like the rebellion, was a strife between capital and labor. And so strange as it may seem, labor always wins'. And if capital had ever won, you could boast of such proud and noble record. Capital has been the dominant power in Europe for a long time. Therefore the people were starving to death in the great cities in the midst of peace and prosperity. Even England is guilty of this unappreciable crime. But whatever else may be said about the German government; it always seeks to give employment of its people. Thus we can safely say that Germany is the most sequestrate and economical nation on the face of the world today. And political or social economy is an ethic. When the colonies of the Southern States were made up, we find a lot of aristocratic explorers and their forts hunting for quick fortunes, etc. They did not bring their families because they did not expect to stay. They were mostly single (or unmarried) men and purly adventurers. But their poor fortunes caused them to remain longer than they had expected and so they felt the need of women. Their purpose did not permit them to mingle with the Indians, in marriage, yet some did. So they had to seek women of a similar purpose for their own if they were to have Europeans. Thus we find the sea captains, with half of their cargo in women who had lost every possible hope in civilization, and were glad to get anywhere to live. They did not have money to pay their passages, nor did the men have money to pay for them. Thus five pounds of tobacco became the price of the principal mothers of the south, until later when certain farmers chose to try their luck in this new land; probably with the idea of cultivating this Indian wood. And thus making comparative Medium Which Reaches Every Colored Home. PRICE. FIVE CENT quick fortunes in that way. These people, of course, brought their families, and the state of Virginia was about the first state of such a settlement. Thus it is natural that James town should be the port to which the first negro slaves were brought for sale. They were for these farmers to use in tilling the earth, or whatever other service. And from then on the whites began to cultivate the idea of not working for a living. But we learn another story about the north, and especially those who came with the "Mayflower." These were the real beginners of the American civilization in your country. Thus you all know much better perhaps than I do. But these people came to stay and to work out their salvation in these wilds! Slaves were introduced among them and many living to it as the best way to do. But conditions soon proved to them that it was not ecological nor Christian to hold these people as slaves. I would defeat the purpose of their coming to America. So about the conclusion of the Revolutionary war they decided not to have any more slaves. All that year know. But why did they not wish to continue with slave labor? And why was the rebellion against the English government? It was to throw off the yoke of English capitalists (taxes and duty). These people saw that England was playing the same game as the (Continued on 4th Page.) Say, pal.--If I'm not at work on Aug. 23. Don't lose any time hunting round for me. I'll be just gone.

He is aided by Angela Kinnaghan, an English society girl, who defends him. Angela takes O'Connell to her home and helps to bring him to the rescue and he and the girl become fast friends. O'Connell when well is sent to for disturbing the game. He calls Angela that he has finished a sentence. O'Connell and Angela well. She has espoused the Irish cause that brother, a member of parliament, is very angry. The happy couple come to America to live. A daughter is born to them. Angela's brother refuses to help the couple in any way. Angela dies. O'Connell names his daughter Margaret and calls her "lily." Angela receives a most important letter from England which perplexes him. --- CHAPTER 1X Peau's Future. 0 NX day the chance of solving the whole difficulty of Fog's future was placed in W Connell's hands. But the means were no distasteful to him that he hesitated about even telling her. He came in unexpectedly in the early afternoon of that day and found a letter wanting for him with an English postmark. Fog had eyed it carefully off and on for hours. She had turned it over and over in her fingers and looked at the curious, angular writing and felt a little cold sweat run up and down her as she found herself wondering who could be writing to her father from England. : When O'Connell walked in and poked the letter up she watched him excitedly. She felt, for some strange reason, that they were going to reach a crisis in their lives when the seed was broken and the contents disclosed. Superstition was standing in Pog, and all that they she had been nervous without reason and excited without close O'Connell read the letter, through twice, slowly the first time, quickly the second. A look of bewilderment came across his face as he sat down and stared at the letter in his hand. "Who is it from at all?" asked Pog very quietly, though she was trembling all through her body. Her father said nothing. Presently he read it through again. "It is from England, father, but I queried Pog pale as a ghost. "Yes, Pog," answered her father, and his voice sounded below and spiritless. "I didn't know ye had friends in King Land," said Pegey, saying the father. "I haven't" replied her father. "Then who is it from?" insisted Pegey now all impatience and with a strange fear tugging at her heart. 'O'Connell looked up at her as she stood there starting down at him, her big eyes wide open and her lips parted. He took both of her hands in one of his and hold them all enclosed together for what seemed to Pegey to be a long, long white. She treadly breathed. She knew something was going to happen to them both. At last O'Connell spoke and he volley trembled and broke. "Peg, do ye remember the moment, years an years age, when I was goin' to speak in County Mayo, an' we started in the ear at mills, an' we threwveld for miles an' miles, an' we came to a great big erasin' where the roads divided an' there was a signpost, an' we asked each other which one we should take, an' we couldn't make up our minds, an' I left it to you, an' we picked a road, an' it brought us out safe and thine at the spot we were makin' for? Do you remember it, Peg? "Faith I do, father, I remember I well. Ye called me yer little guide and said ye follow my road the rest of yer life. An' its many's the laugh we had when I take ye wrong sometimes afterward." She paused. "What makes ye think of that fact now, father?" He did not answer. "Is it on account of that letter?" she perked "It is, Peg." He spoke with difficulty, as if the words hurt him to speak. "We've got to a great big crossin' place again where the roads branch off, an' I don't know which one to take." "Are ye goin' to have it to me again, father?" and Peg. "That's what I can't make up me mind about, dear, for it may be that you'll go down one road and me down the other." "No, father," Pegcried passionately, "that we won't. Whatever the road we'll threave it together." "I'll think it out by myself, Peg Lare me for awhile—alone. I want to think it out by myself alone." "If it's separation you're thinkin' of make, up yer mind to one thing—that I'll never have you. Never." "Take Michael out for a spell and come back in half an hour, and in the meanwhile I'll bate it all out in my mind." She bont down and straightened the furrows in his forehead with the tips of her fingers and kissed him and then whistled to the wistful Michael, and together they went running down the street toward the little patch of green where the children played and among whom Michael was a prime favorite, Sitting, his head in his hands; his PEG O'MY HEART By J.

His father, Sir James, will be the writer to the book that he transcribed in London at the time of the birth of his two sons, one of the advent of a girl. Kingsley did not answer any of her critics. In the New Testament Mrs. Childer contained to her the Write personally. She wrote to her when her son Anna went to school and also when he went to college. And seemed to absorb most of her indictment. He was evident by her for her child. She wrote more beliefs of her daughter. Ether and when she did happen to refer to her she showed principally on her beauty and her accomplishments. Five years before an annealing in deep mountaint come to Kingsthorn and on opening it he found a letter from his sister quoting him with the prolambda news that Mr. Childer had ended a life of misfortune in the English bar and had died, leaving the family quite comfortably off. Kingsmouth teh grieved his completeness and left instructions for a suitable wreath to be sent to the tombal. But he did not attend it. It did he at any time express the slightest wish to see his sister, not did he encourage any suggestion on her part to visit him. When he was striken with an illness from which no hope of recovery was held out to him he at once began to put his affairs in order, and his lawyer spent days with him drawing up statements of his last wishes for the disposition of his fortune. With death stretching out its hand to snatch him from a life he had enjoyed so little his thoughts, colored with the fragrances of a tupid, sick brain kept turning constantly to his dead sister Angela. From time to time down through the years he had a softened, gentle remembrance of her. When the news of her death came, fights and unrestful as he had been toward hot, her passing softened it. Had he known in time he would have insisted on her burial in the Kingsnorth vault. But she had already been interred in New York before the news of her death reached him. The one bitter hatred of his life had been unmasked the man who had taken his sister in marriage and in so doing had killed all possibility of Kingsnorth succeeding in his political and social aspirations. He heard vaguely of a daughter. He took no interest in the news. Now, however, the remembrance of his treatment of Angela burnt into him. He especially reposed of that merciless candle. You have made your bed; life in it. It haunted him through the long hours of the snow and painful illness. And he helped her she might have been alive today, and those bad reflections that ate into him night and THE RICHMOND PLANET: RICHMOND VIRGINIA day might have been replaced by gentler ones and so make his end the more peaceful. He thought of Angelina's child and wondered if she were like his poor dead sister. The wish to see the child became an obsession with him. One morning, after a restless, feverish night, he sent for his lawyer and told him to at once institute inquiries—find out if the child was still living and if so where. This his lawyer died. He housed O'Connell in New York through a friend of his in the Irish party and found that the child was living with him in rather poor circumstances. He communicated the result of his impulses to Kingsnorth. That day a letter was sent to O'Connell asking him to allow his child to visit her dying uncle. O'Connell was to cable at Kingsnorth's expense, and if he would consent the money for the expenses of the journey would be cabled immediately. The girl was to start at once as Mr. Kingsnorth had very little longer to live. When the letter had gone Kingsnorth drew a breath of relief. He longed to see the child. He would have to wait impatiently for the reply. Perhaps the man whom he had hated all his life would refuse his request. If he did well, he would make some provision in his will for her in memory of his dead sister. The next day he altered his entire will and made Margaret O'Connell a special legacy. Ten days later an exile came: I consent to my daughter's visiting you FRANK OWEN O'Connell. The lawyer cabled at once, making all arrangements through their bankers in New York for Miss O'Connell's journey. That night King north slept without being disturbed. He awoke refreshed in the morning. It was the first kindy action he had done for many years. How much had he cabled himself of all his life if by doing little he was repaid so much? O'Connell had a hard struggle with Peg before she would consent to leave him. She met all his arguments with counter arguments. Nothing would move her for hours. "Why should I go to a man I have never seen and hate the name of?" "He's your uncle Peg." "It's a fine underbelly been to me all me life. And it was a grand way he threatened me mother when she was starshin'" "He wants to do something" for ye now, Peg. "I'll not go to him" "Now listen to dear, it's little I'll have to have ye when I'm gone" pleased Of Council. "I'll not listen to any talk at all about ye girl." Ver a great, strong healthy girl that's what ye are. What are ye talkin' about? What's got into yer head about gear? "The time must come soon day, Peg." "All right. We'll know how to face it when it does. But we're not goin' out all the way to meet it" said Peg resolutely. CHAPTER X F OR the next few days Peg was busy preparing herself for the journey and having little things for her safety equipment. Then the value came to the effect that a passage was to bevel for her and mom or was waiting at a banker's for her expenses. The Peg ultimately refused to punch. She didn't want anything except what her father gave her. When the morning of her departure game Peg woke with a heavy heart. It was their first parting, and she was丧丧ible. O'Connell, on the contrary, seemed full of life and high spirits. He laughed at her and joked with her and made a little bundle of some things that would not go in her bag and that he had kept for her to the last minute. They were a rosary that had been his mother's, a prayer book Father Cahill gave him the day he was confirmed and hardly the little miracle of Angela. It wring his heart to part with it, but he wanted Peg to have it near her, especially as she was going among the relations of the dead woman. All through this O'Connell showed not a trace of emotion before Peg. He kept telling her there was nothing to be said about. It was all going to be for her good. When the time came to go the strange pair made their way down to the ship—the tall, erect, spindled looking man and the little red hatred girl in her simple black suit and her little black hat, with red flowers to brighten it. O'Connell went aboard with her, and an odd couple they looked on in the saunon deck, with Peg holding on to Michael, much to the amusement of the passengers, the visitors and awe-wards. Poor, stanch, loyal, honest, true little Peg, going alone to—what? Leaving the one human being she cared for and worshiped—her playmate, counselor, friend and father—all in one! O'Connell never dropped his high aptits all the time they were together on board the ship. He went aboard with a laugh, and when the belfar rang for all visitors to go ashore he said goodbye to Fog with a laugh, while poor Fog's heart felt like a stone in her breast. She stood sobbing up against the rail of the galoon deck as the ship swung clear. She was looking for her father through the mists of tears that blinded her. Just as the boat slowly swept past the end of the dock she saw him right at the last post so that he could watch the boat uninterrupted until it was out of sight. He was crying himself now—crying a child—and as the boat swaying away he called up: 'My little Fog! Fog o' my heart!' How she longed to get off the ship and go back to him! They stood waving to each other as long as they remained in sight. While the ship plowed her way to ward England with little leg on board the man whom she was crossing the Atlantic to meet died quietly one morning with no one near him. The aufe found Mr. Kingsworth smiling peacefully as though asleep. He had been dead several hours. Near him on the table was a cable dispatch from New York: My daughter sailed on the Mauretania today at 19 o'clock. FRANK OWEN OCCNELL Mrs. Chichester, whom we last saw under extremely distressing circumstances in Ireland, now enters prominently into the story. She was leading a secluded and charming existence in an old and picturesque villa at Searborough, in the north of England. Althoug' her husband had been dead for several years, she still clung to the outward symbols of mourning. It added a softness to the patrician line of her features and a touch of distinction to her manner and police. She had an illustrious example of a lifelong sorrow, and, being ever loyal, Mrs. Chichester retained the words of widowhood and the crape of affection ever present. She was proud indeed of her two children, about whom she had written so glowingly to her brother Nathuriel. so knowingly to the answer. Alainte Arhie was the older. In him Mrs. Chichester took the greater pride. He was so nearly being great even from infancy: that he continually kept his mother in a condition of expectant wonder. He was nearly brilliant at school. At college he almost got his degree. He first missed his "blue" at cricket, and but for an unfortunate ball dribbling over the net at a critical moment in the seminal of the tennis championships he might have won the cup. He was quite philosophic about it, though, and never appeared to reproach fate, for treating him so shabby. He was always nearly doing something, and kept Mrs. Chichester in a lively condition of trusting hope and occasional disappointment. She knew he would "arrive" some day into his own. Then all these half rewarded efforts would be invaluable in the building of his character. Her daughter, Ethel, on the other hand, was the exact antithesis to Alaric. She had never shown the slightest interest in anything since she had first looked up at the man of medicine who ushered her into the world. She regarded everything about her with the greatest complacency. She was never surprised or angry or pleased or depressed. Sorrow never seemed to affect her nor joy make her smile. She looked on life as a gentle break down whose current she was perfectly content to drift undisturbed. At least that was the effect created in Mrs. Chickleston's mind. She never thought it possible there might be latent possibilities in her impassive daughter. While her mother admired Ethel's soft attitude of indifference toward the world, a manner that keeps the artistist. She secretly clashed at her daughter's lack of enthusiasm. How different from Nathalie always full of nearly new ideas always to do something. Alark kept those around him on the alert. No one ever really knew what he would do next. On the other hand depressed by her stollen combat with everything about her. Every one knew what she would do or thought they did. Mrs. Chichester had long since abun-doned any further attempt to interfere her brother Nathamiel in the children. Angela's wretched marriage had got everything driven Nathamiel to be a reclusive and to close his doors on near and distant relative. Angela's death the following year did not relieve the situation. If any thing, it intensified 9, since she left a baby that, naturally, none of the family could possibly take the slightest notice of her interest in. It was tacitly agreed never to speak of the unfortunate incident, especially before the children. It was such a terrible example for Ethel and so discouraging to the eager and ambitious Alaric. Consequently Angela's name was never spoken inside of Royal Villa. And so the Chelchester family pursued an even course, only varied by Alaric's sudden and definite decision to enter either public life, or athletics, or the army, or the world of art. It was really extremely hard for so well equipped a young man to decide to limit himself to any one particular pursuit. Consequently he put off the final choice from day to day. Suddenly a most untoward incident happened. "Airie, returning from a long walk, alone during which he had almost decided to become a doctor—walked in through the windows from the garden into the living room and found his mother in tears, ah open letter in her hand. This was most unusual. Mrs Chilch ter was not wont to give vent to open emotion. It shows a lack of breeding. So she always suppressed it. It seemed to grow inward. To find her weeping—and almost suddenly—impressed Airie that something of more than usual importance had occurred. "Hello, matter!" he cried cheerfully, though his looks bolled the buoyancy of his tone. "Hello. What's the matter? What's up?" At the same moment Ethel came in through the door. It was 11:20, and precisely at that time every morning Ethel practiced for half an hour on the piano not that she had the slightest interest in music, but it helped the morning so much. She would look forward to it for an hour before and think of it for an hour afterward, and then it was lunchtime. It practically filled out the entire morning. Mrs. Chichester looked up as her beloved children came toward her, and real tears were in her eyes, and a note of alarm was in her voice: "Oh, Ethel. Oh, Alaric" Alaric was at her side in a moment. He was genuinely alarmed. Ethel moved slowly across, thinking vaguely that something must have disagreed with her mother. "What is it, mater?" cried Alaric. "Mother?" said Ethel, with as neprily a tone of emotion as she could feel. "We're ruined!" nodbed Mrs. Chichester. "Nonmessy!" said the bewildered son. "Really?" asked the placid daughter. "Our brain has failed! Every penny." your poor father left me was in its waisted Mrs. Chichester. "We've got nothing! We're beggars!" A brittle fear for a moment gripped Alario-the dread of poverty. He shivered. Suppose such a thing should really happen! Then he dismissed it with a shrug of his shoulders. How perfectly absurd! Poverty, indeed! The Chichestera beggars? Such nonsense! He turned to his mother and found her holding out a letter and a newspaper. He took them both and read them with mingled amazement and disgust. First the headline of the newspaper caught his eye: "Failure of Gifford's Bank." Then he looked at the letter: "Gifford's bank suspended business yesterday!" Back his eye traveled to the paper: "Gifford's Bank Has Closed Its Doors!" He was quite unable at first to grasp the full significance of the contents of that letter and newspaper. He turned to Ethet. "Eh?" he gasped. "Fity!" she murmured, trying to find a particular piece of music among the mass on the piano. "We're ruined!" reterated Mrs. Chichester. Then the real meaning of those cryptic headlines and the business-like letter broke in on Aharle. All the Chichester blood was roused in him. "Now, that's what I call a downright, rotten, blackguardly shame a blackguardly shame!" His voice rose in tones as it increased in intensity until it almost reached a shriek. Something was expected of him—at any rate, indignation. Well, he was certainly indignant. "Closed its doors, indeed!" he went on. "Why should it close its doors? That's what I want to know! Why should-it?" And he glared at the unoffending letter and the noncommitted newspaper. He looked at Ethel, who was surreptitiously concealing a yawn and was apparently quite undisturbed by the appalling news. He found no inspiration there. Back he went to his mother for support. "What right have banks to fall? There should be a law against it. They should be made to open their doors and keep 'em open. That's what we give 'em our money for so that we can take it out again when we want it." Poor Mrs. Chichester shook her head sadly. "Everything gone!" she meant. "Ruined, and at my age." CHAPTER XI. The Chichesters. LAIRD' sat on the edge of her chair and put his arm around her shoulder and tried to comfort her. "Don't you worry, mater," he said. "Don't worry. I'll go down and tell em what I think of 'em exactly what I think of 'em. They can't play the tool with me. I should think not, indeed. Listen, mater. You've got a son, thank God, and one no bank can take any liberties with. What we put in there got to have out. That's all I can say. We've simply got to have it out. There. I've said it." Alastic rose and, drawing himself up to his full five foot six inches of manhood, glared magnificently at some imaginary bank officials. His whole nature was roused. The future of the family depended on him. They would not depend in vain. He looked at Lihof, who was trying to make the best of the business by smiling agreeably on them both. "It's bankrupt!" waited Mrs. Chlchester. "Failed!" suggested Ethel cheerfully. "We're beggars!" continued the mother. "I must live on charity for the rest of my life, the guest of relations I've hated the sight of and who have hated me. It's deadful, dreadful." All Alarie's first glow of manly enthusiasm began to cool. "Don't you think we'll get anything?" By accident he turned to Ethel. She smiled meaninglessly and said for the first time with any real note of conviction: "Nothing." Alarie sat down gleamily beside his mother. "I always thought bank directors were blighters. Good heavens, what a mess!" He looked the picture of misery. "What's to become of Ethel, matter?" "Whoever shelteres me must shelter Ethel as well," replied the mother sadly. "But it's hard at my age—to be—sheltered." Alaric looked at Ethel, and a feeling of pity came over him. It was distinctly to his credit since his own wrongs occupied most of his attention. But, after all, he could buffet the world and wring a living out of it. All he had to do was to make up his mind which walk in life to choose. He was fortunate. But Ethel, reared from infancy in the environment of independence—it would come very hard and bitter on her. Alaric just touched Ethel's hand, and with as much feeling as he could muster he said: "Shocking, tough, old girl." Ethel shook her head almost determinedly and said somewhat enigmatically and for her heededly: "No?" asked Alaric. "No—what?", "Charity?" said Ethel. "Cold blooded words," and Alaric abuddered. "What will you do, Ethel?" "Work." "Teach? Who in the wide world can you teach?" "Children." Alaric laughed mirthlessly. "Oh, come, that's right! Eh, matter! Fancy Ethel teaching grubby little brains their A B C! Tush!" "Must! said Ethel, quite unmoved. "A Chichester teach? said Alaric, in disgust." "Settled!" from Ethel, and she swept her fingers slowly across the piano. "Very well," said Alaric determinedly. "I'll work too." Mrs. Chichester looked up pleadingly. Alarie weed on; "I'll put my hand to the plow. The more I think of it the sooner I am to begin. From today I'll be a workingman." At this Ethel laughed a quip, little, odd, supercellous note, summed up in a single word, "Ulf." There was nothing mirtful in it. There was no reproach. In it. It was just an expression of her honest feeling at the bare suggestion of her brother working. Alarie turned quickly to her. "And may I ask why that 'Ha!' Why, I ask you? There's nothing I couldn't do if I were really put to it—not a single thing. Is there, mater?" His mother looked up proudly at him. "I know that, dear. But it's dreadful to think of you—working." "Not at all," said Alaric. "I'm just tingling all over at the thought of it. The only reason I haven't so far is because I've never had to. But now that I have I'll just buckle on my armor, so to speak, and astonish you all." Again came that deadly, cold, unsympathetic "Hat" from Ethel. "Please don't laugh in that cheerless way, Ethel. It goes all down my spine. Jerry's always telling me I ought to do something—that the world is for the worker—and all that. He's right, and I'm going to show him." He suddenly picked up the paper and look- 1 Alaric Drew Himself to His Full Height. ed at the date. "What's today—the 1st? Yes, so it is June the 1st. Jerry's coming today all his family too. They've taken Noel's Folly, on the hill. He's sure to look in here. Couldn't be better. He's the cove to turn to in a case like this." Jarvis, a white haired, dignified butler, who had served the family man and boy, came in at this juncture with a visiting card on a salver. Alaric picked it up and glanced at it. He gave an expression of disgust and flung the card back on the salver, "Christian Brent." For the first time, Ethel showed more than a passing gleam of interest. She stopped strumming the piano and stood up, very erect and very still. Mr. Chichoster rose too "I can't see any one," she said impatiently. "Nor I," added Alaric. "I'm all strung up." He turned to Jarvis. "Tell Mr. Brent we're very sorry, but!" "I'll see him," interrupted Alaric, almost animatedly. "Bring Mr. Brent here, Jarvis." Jarvis went in search of Mr. Brent Mrs. Chichester went up the great stairs. "My head is throbbing. I'll go to my room." "Don't you worry, matter," consoled Alaric. "Leave everything to me. I'll thrash the whole thing out." As Mrs. Chichester disappeared Alaric turned to his calm sister, who, strangely enough, was showing some signs of life and interest. "Really going to teach?" "Yes." "Right! I'll find something, too—very likely a doctor. We'll pull through somehow." Ethel made a motion toward the door as though to stop any further conversation. "Mr. Brent's coming," she said, al, most impatiently. "Jolly good of you to let him bore you. I hate the sight of the beggar myself. Always looks to me like the first conspirator at a play." The door opened, and Jarvis entered and ushered in "Mr. Breut." Alaric burried into the garden. A few words of description of Christian Brent might be of interest since he represents a type that society always has with it. They begin by decrying others; they end by deceiving themselves. Christian Brent was a dark, tenured, scholarly looking man of twenty-eight years of age. His career as a diplomatist was halted at its onset by an early marriage with the only daughter of a prosperous manufacturer. Brent was moderately independent in his own right, but the addition of his wife's dowry seemed to destroy all ambition. He no longer found interest in carrying messages to the various legations or embassies of Europe or in taking a routine position as some office secretary. From being an innestly young man of affairs he drifted into a sexual journey—the hiding of the drawing room where the slave branch of Who were permeant himself more than the clash of interests and the conquest of a woman greater than that of a nation. Just at this period Ethel Chichester was the especial object of his adoration. Her beauty appealed to him. Her absolute indifference to him stung him as a lash. It seemed to be little his powers of attraction. Consequently he redoubled his efforts. Ethel showed neither like nor dislike—just a form of toleration. Brent accepted this, as a dog a crumb. In the hope of something more substantial to follow. He had come that morning with a fixed resolve. His manner was determined. His voice wooded as a carcass. He went tenderly to Ethel the moment the door closed on Jarvis. "How are you?" he asked, and there was a note of subdued passion in his tone. "Fair," replied Ethol without even looking at him "Where is your mother? suggesting that much depended on the answer. "And Marie." "In the garden." "Then we have a moment or two—alone?" Brent put a world of meaning into the suggestion. "Very likely," said Ethel, picking up a score of "Boheme" and looking at it as if she saw it for the first time, all the while watching him through her half closed eyes. Brent went to her. "Glad to see me?" he naked. "Why not?" "I am glad to see you"—he bent over her—"more than gud." "Really?" He sat beside her. "Ethel," he whispered intensely, "I am at the crossroads." "Oh!" commenced Ethel, without any interest. "It came last night." "Did it?" "This is the end—between Silyl and myself." "Yes—the end. It's been horrible from the first—horrible: There's not a word of mine—not an action—she doesn't misunderstand." "How boring!" said Ethel blandly. "She would see harm even in this!" "Why?" "She'd think I was here to—to"—He stopped. "What? Innocently Inquired Ethel. "Make love to you." And he looked earnestly into her eyes. She met his look quite frankly and astonished him with the question. "Well, aren't you?" He rose anxiously. "Ethel!" "Don't you always?" persisted Ethel. "Has it seemed like that to you?" "Has it seemed like that to you?" "Yes," she answered candidly; "by institution, never straightforwardly." "Has it offended you?" "Then you admit it?" "Oh," he cried passionately, "I wish I had the right to—to" Again he wavered. "Yes? And Ethel looked straight at him. —make love to you straightforward." He felt the supreme moment had almost arrived. Now, he thought, he would be rewarded for the long waiting—the endless slege to this marvelous woman who concealed her real nature beneath that marble casing of an assumed indifference. He waited eagerly for her answer. When it came it shocked and revolted him. ETHEL dropped her gaze from his face and said, with the suspicion of a smile playing around her lips: "If you had the right to make love to me straightforwardly—you wouldn't do it." He looked at her in amazement. "What do you mean?" he gasped. "It's only because you haven't the right that you do it—by suggestion." Ethel pursued. "How can you say that?" And he put all the heart he was capable of into the question. "You don't deny it," she said quietly. He breathed hard and then said bitterly: "What a contemptible opinion you must have of me!" "Then we're quits, aren't we?" "How? he asked." "Haven't you one of me?" "Of you? Why, Ethel—" "Surely every married man must have a contemptible opinion of the woman he covertly makes love to. If he hadn't he couldn't do it, could be?" Once again she leveled her cold, impassive eyes on lren'ts' disheated face. "I don't believe you're not all ill." "I don't follow you," was all Brent said. "Haven't you had time to think of an answer?" "I don't know what you're driving at," he added. Ethel smiled her most enigmatic smile. "No? I think you do." She waited a moment. Brent said nothing. This was a new mood of Ethel's. It baffled him. Presently she relieved the silence by asking him: "What happened last night?" He hesitated. Then he answered: "I'd rather not say. I'd sound like a bad blaming a woman." "Never mind how it sounds. Tell it. It must have been amusing." "Amusing?" He bent over her again. "Oh, the more I look at you and listen to you the more I realise I should never have married." "Why did you?" came the cool question. Brant answered with all the power at his command. Here was the moment to lay his heart bare that Ethel might see. "Have you ever been a young here, fresh from its kind, run headlong into a mare? Have you ever seen a young man free of the traumas of college then into a net? I did! I wasn't trap winn." He placed the room resiliently, all the self pity rising in him. He went on: "Hertzey, what necessities we are 1916 Calendars Now We have a fine line of Calendars for 1916, both they are now ready for the inspection of the Public will be of special interest to those who buy these when we first feel our feet! We're like children just loose from the leading strings. Anything that glitters catches us. Every trap that is set for our unwary feet we drop into. I did—dropped in, caught hand and foot, mind and soul." "Soul?" queried Ethel, with a note of doubt. "Yeah," be answered. "Don't you mean body?" she suggested. "Body, mind and soul" he said, with an air of finality. "Well, body anyway," summed up Ethel. "And for what?" he went on. "For what? Love! Companionship! That is what we build on in marriage. And what did I realise? Hate and wrangling; wrangling, just as the common herd, with no advantages, wrangle and make it a part of their lives, the seat to their union. It's been my curse." "Why wrangling?" drawled Ethel. "She didn't understand." "You?" asked Ethel, in surprise. "My thoughts, my actions!" "How curious!" "You mean you would!" "Probably." "I'm sure of it." He tried to ask her hand. She drew it away and settled herself comfortably to listen again: "Tell me more about your wife." "The slightest attention shown to any other woman meant a ridiculous, a humiliating scene." "Humiliating?" "Aren't doubt and suspicion humiliating?" "They would be a compliment in some cases." "How?" "They would put a fictitious value on some men." "You couldn't humiliate in that way," he ventured slowly. "No. I don't think I could. If a man showed a preference for any other woman she would be quite welcome to him." "No man could!" said Brent insinuatingly. *She looked at him coldly a moment.* "Let me see—where were you? Just married, weren't you? (Go on.)* "Then came the baby." He said that with a significant meaning and paused to see the effect on Ethel. If it had any Ethel effectually concealed it. Her only comment was: "Ah!" Brent went on: "One would think that would change things. But no. Neither of us wanted her. Neither of us loved her. Children should come of love, not hate. And she is a child of hate." He paused, looking intently at Ethel. She looked understandingly at him, then dropped her eyes. Brent went on as if following up an advantage: "She sits in her little chair, her small, wrinkled, old, disillusioned face turned to us, with the eyes watching us accusingly. She submits to crimes as though they were distasteful, as if she knew they were lies. At times she pushes the nearing face away with her little baby fingers." He stopped, watching her eagerly. Her eyes went down. "I shouldn't tell you this. It's terrible. I see it in your face. What are you thinking? "I'm sorry," replied Ethel simply. "For me?" "For your wife." "My wife?" he repeated, agast. "Yes," said Ethel. "Aren't you? No? Are you just sorry for yourself?" Brent turned impatiently away. So this laying-open the wound in his life was nothing to Ethel. Instead of pity for him, all it engendered in her was sorrow for his wife. How little women understood him! There was a pathetic catch in his voice as he turned to Ethel and said reproachfully: "You think me purely selfish?" "Naturally," she answered quickly. "I am. Why not be truthful about ourselves sometimes? Eh?" "We quarreled last night—about you!" he said desperately. "Really?" "Gossip has linked us together. My wife has heard it and put the worst construction on it." "We said things to each other last night that can never be forgiven or forgotten. I left the house and walked the streets—hourl. I looked my whole life back and through as though it were some stranger's." He turped abruptly away to the windows and stayed a moment, looking down the drive. Ethel said nothing. He came back to her in a few moments. "I tell you we ought to be taught—we ought to be taught, when we are young, what marriage really means, just as we are taught not to steal, nor lie, nor sin. In marriage we do all three—when we're ill mated. We steal affection from some one else, we lie in our lives, and we sin in our relationship." Ethel asked him very quietly: "Do you mean that you are a sinner a thief and a liar?" Brent looked at her in horror. "Oh, take some of the blamel" said Ethel. _"Don't put it all on the woman." "You've never spoken to me like this before." "Two often wanted to," replied Ethel; "then she asked him, "What do you intend doing?" "Separate," he answered eagerly. "You don't doctor a poisoned limb when your life depends on it; you cut ```markdown ``` He Impulsively Stretched Out His Arma, Embracing Her. It off. When two lives generate a deadly poison, face the problem as a surgeon would—amputate." "And after the operation—what then?" asked Ethel. "That is why I am here facing you. Do you understand what I mean?" "Oh, dear, yes—perfectly! I have been waiting for you to get to the point." "Ethel!" and he impulsively stretch out his arms, embracing her. She drew back slightly, just out of his reach. "Wait." She looked up at him quizically. "Suppose we generate poison! What would you do—amputate me?" "You are different from all other women." "Didn't you tell your wife that when you asked her to marry you?" He turned away impatiently. "Don't say those things, Ethel; they hurt." "I'm afraid, Christian, I'm too frank Am I not?" "You stand alone, Ethel. You seem to look into the hearts of people and know why and how they beat." "I do—sometimes. It's an awkward faculty." He looked at her glowingly. "How marvelously different two women can be! You—my wife!" Ethel shook her head and smiled her calm, dead smile: "We're not really very different, Christian. Only some natures like change. Yours does. And the new have all the virtues. Why. I might not last as long as your wife did." "Don't say that. We have a com mon bond—understanding." "Think so?" "I understand you." "I wonder." "You do me." "Yes—that is just the difficulty." "I tell you I am at the crossroads. The finger board points the way to me distinctly." "Does it?" "It does." He leaped across to her "Would you risk it?" "What?" she asked. "I'll hide nothing. I'll put it all before you—the snubs of your friends; the whisper of a scandal that would grow into a roar; afraid to open a newspaper, fearing what might be printed in it; life at first in some little continental village, dreading the passions through, keeping out of sight lest they should recognize one. No. It wouldn't be fair to you." Ethel thought a moment, then answered slowly: "No. Chris, I don't think it would." "You see I am a end—just a selfish cad!" "Aren't you?" and she smiled up at him. "I'll never speak of this again. I would have spoken now—only—I'm distracted—completely distracted. Will you forgive me for speaking as I did?" "Certainly," said Ethel. "I'm not offended. On the contrary. Anyway, I'll think it over and let you know." "You will, really?" he asked greedily, grasping at the straw of a hope. "You will really think it over?" "I will, really." "And when she sets me free," he went on, "we could, we could"— He suddenly stopped. She looked coolly at him as he best tated and said, "It is a difficult little word at times, isn't it?" "Would you marry me?" he asked, with a supreme effort. "I never cross my bridges until I come to them," said Ethel languidly. "And we're such a long way from that one, aren't we?" "Then I am to wait?" "Yes; do," she replied. $21 COAL IN FRANCE Returning Traveler Also Predicts Winter of Hardships. Brewster Davenport, of Boston, who has been serving in the American ambulance corps in France, returned on the steamship Rochembean. He said the outlook for the poor people of France during the coming winter is serious, and that there is bound to be much suffering. Coal, he said, is now selling at $21.50 a ton, and indications are that food is going to be scarce and expensive. Italy Loses Submarine Duel.

Some people talk about how they do very little to protect them. Two much more important things to consider are the well-being of the marry women for peace and the many women marry too for a woman. Some people will starve them two weeks in order to have a display for two hours. If more people are saved the hundred dollars per week, they would spend every penny of it. Most of our people have no money to spare one week before the end of the week ahead. Borrowing money is probably the best before you earn it. It is a very satisfactory habit. Every family should have an auto module if every family has the money to purchase everything that it needs. Some people believe in fate and in destiny, and some events and happenings seem to strengthen that belief. --- Making money by chance is equivalent to losing money by chance. As a rule the latter method prevails. Some people seem to think that God save them the "gift of grace" in order for them to deserve their fellow Patrick Wilson's having a hard time with Mexico and now he's about to get "mixed up" with Hatt buy land, colored folk. If you are able to do so, it is better to buy land with a house only. The best way to save a dollar is not to spend it, and the best way not to spend it is to put it in a savings bank. Buying food and clothing by the underground route is risky business, although such money may be saved that way. You would do well to deposit your money in bank. When you get in a very hard place, you will know where to go to get it. Some people turn green with fright when death knocks at the door, but cause an accusing conscience is standing at the bedside. It is a sad commentary upon the future, when ninety-five percent, of the young people of both races are content to remain at the bottom of life's struggle instead of striving to reach the top. Some people take one fourth of each day in discussing their own business and one half of each day in discussing other people's business. The remainder of the time is for work. That is why some people are at the time cared for. A man who carries a woman should be ready, willing and able to take care of her. A woman who carries a man should be ready, willing and able to take care of him. The former should be able to deal with money and the latter with service. B. 10. 7. 10. DAYS and ROW. DAY B. C.

THAT BUILDING, LINE DECISION Joseph C. is the one to grant a part of reclamation against Bertie Lovett for his compiling him to issue a permit for the erection of an apartment house by the Lafayette Apartment Corporation. He states plainly that his action is in line with decree by other courts in dealing with similar questions. He is responsible for the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States which guarantees to all citizens equal protection of the law. Some of the citizens in that block are occupying much more of their lots than the city ordinaries permits the plantation to occupy. Jose C.'s opinion, to say the least, is interesting. In a part of it, he says. I am constrained to the conclusion that the ordinance, whose validity is assailed in this proceeding, was passed largely for the protection of the citizens objecting to the erection of the apartment house, that it is an unreasonable restraint upon the full use of and absolute dominion over the real estate of the petitioner; that the real estate of any public need; that the establishment of the building line on the southern side of the square in question is not a police regulation reasonably essential for or promotion of the public health, convenience or comfort—and that, therefore, the ordinance deprives the petitioner of the full use of his property by other persons, and deprives him of the protection of the law and is invalid because it is in conflict with the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The building of the apartment house will doubtless render the use of some of the adjacent houses less enjoyable than before, but it is fundamental in American law in respect that cases of birth and marriage require similar accommodations cannot be acquired by prescription, as was the case with the curatives of the Roman law and with the easements of the English law. In this country such easements can only be acquired or created by grant. This ready like an opinion in a coronation case. It is "as sound as a dollar" and is in line with those great decisions, which have made jurists famous. The right to life, liberty and property is fundamental. Despite the precepts for robbing owners of the enjoyment of the latter, the strong arm of the law is being invoked and the interpretation of the statutes is being handed down without fear or favor. STILL, HOWLING. Although the coterie of Negro-militers have succeeded in having an ordinance passed by the city council restricting both white and colored citizens in the use of their own property and they have had the ordinance amended, they are still dissatisfied. They have succeeded in having a veritable "army" of colored people fined $150 and costs for occupying their own property, and many white people for doing the same thing they now want the real-estate agents fined. They have now discovered that the real-estate agents are really the ones responsible for the action of the colored people, who have purchased the old houses, that the white owners were abandoning for the more roomy and comfortable locations in the West End. They do not seem to understand that there is a large number of white people, who believe that the colored people should be permitted to occupy all of the property north of Broad or Marshall Streets. They did not want to obey the Federal law. They did not want to obey the State law and now they are attacking the ordinance which they succeeded in having enacted. They are not guided by the advice of the City Attorney and they now insist that the real estate agents shall be prosecuted along with the poor Negroes. The situation is amusing, not serious, for the people of Richmond, the white people are getting about as tired of these crookers as the colored people seem to be. THE EAGLE'S PARADISE --- The "Stray" forty-eight Virginia in the recent primary election. The State Senate will have a majority of 25 seats whiskey and its adjutant. The vote formerly was as the "This means that drastic prohibition on burglaries may be expected." We take it that the social clique will be "hard hit" as a result of this revolution. We have been looking at the palatial home of the Fraternal Order of Harleys on the northwest corner of Third and Marshall Streets. It dispasses honor of the best kind to its members and beer of a high grade to its patrons. Magistrate Willor J Grimes with his antipathy to the colored folks winds the gavel as president. But what will be the result when that "city" legislature gets down to business and forces this large organization to enjoy its building without loud enjoyment." It seems to us that the disgruntled members will want to sell out and the fat present' disgruntled colored folks will want to buy them out. It will be a case of the Immuned Baptist Church and the Leigh St M E. Church: What better use could be made of the palatial structure than to turn it over to K. Scott C. Hennart for a colored Y M C A.? The basement would serve the purposes of both innocent sport and athletics. The good old times, when whiskey and beer, champagne and cognac, wine and cocktails would have passed away forever while the Y M C A. refrain and the Y M C A. lectures would be heard in the neighborhood. We are sorry for the Eagles and their liquor, but we are glad for the Y M C A. A's and their religion. It is a pity to leave such a structure tomeless, due to host legislation. Let us arrange to buy the serie of the catches if they show a disposition to sell it. They will not vacate it in one year or two years or three years. The longer the time, the better for us in raising the money. THE LYNCHING OF FRANK The lanching of Leo Frank in Georgia last Tuesday will attract the attention of the civilized world, or at least that part of it which is not already engaged in brutal warfare. The fact that Frank was incarcerated in a penal institution under the care of the state makes even more厉害 the crime which resulted in the taking of his life. When Governor Slaton commuted the sentence from capital punishment to imprisonment for life, all law adding citizens should have yielded a willing obedience to his mandate. The question of the guilt or innocence of Leo Frank is not involved in the issue. The question is whether or not the law shall be respected and its degrees observed. We see or think we see that this act will result in revolutionizing the lawless conditions now existing specifically in the Southland and generally all over the country. Either Judge Lynch must rule and be recognized or Judge Law and Order must hold away. The lynching of Frank, the white man, is the logical result of lynching colored people. The moose slipped this time and caught a white man in its colts. We have opposed the lynching of the one and we oppose the lynching of the other. The issue is rapidly becoming a federal question. Frank was a native of New York state. What will be done about it? The lynchers are guilty of murder on a par with the one with which Frank had been charged and convicted. Viewed from any angle summary action should be taken and these lynchers brought to the bar of justice and punished. Let the law, abiding people of the country beatir themselves and decide once for all that lynch-law must go and the lynchers with it. Whar you gwine, honey, evening of Aug, 30? Dem Ushers Moonlight and Twilight for me. Whar—to West Pint—is you gwine sure enough. Use gwine too. Fifty cents ain't no elephant. The southern white man was never a builder of real industries, nor does he believe in jobs unless for labor. And if this is good enough for groves, it is not for others! Nor is it to great advantage for the nation. Thus the problem lies in you taking an active part in everything social and economic, and you and your families learn to live better. Think for yourself a little more, but do not try to make Africa out of America. Be Americans of all things. And the word negro will not be so much like a "course word." You cannot expect all negroes to think alike any more than all white people. Our opinions are shaped by our environments, therefore, when sending your children to school, let them go to the best, so they will become used to the people with whom they must compete in later life. Do not try to be negroes so much. Try more to be first class American citizens. Thus I repeat that you should study political and social economy with the greater part of others in the colored race, think that economy means the miserly hoarding of what comes into the hands of one just as many of the social equality meant intimacy between individuals. Thus, you say again, for the benefit of such people, that society means stockholders in a company, or free citizens in a country, and personal or familiar relations between individuals. And equality means of similar value or estimation. One not having undue advantage of the other. While a subjected people cannot be put on equality with a patriotic citizen, who has never taken up arms against the government in question. So if there be any social inequality, which should exist between the city of New York and the city of more properly between the rebels or confederate south and their federal conquerors. And not the negroes, who have never lifted arms against the flag of domination. And if the south had been put on probation for about 75 years, much good would have been done, and many valuable lives saved. Lynching would never have come about among them. As they would have been anxious to redeem their prestige with the dominant people. And to dare make a "Klu Klux Klan" would have been considered a willful breach of trust, which justified a restriction and limitation of their privileges in the actual government. But that greatest of all negroes, race is by proft by the court of the white man. Thus, in the south, the white man laws duty only to agree upon, between the poor, the white man terminally deceased when he wants done, without the respect to equity, and he may present it to all the people, as law. There is not the slightest bit of law about it. It is an order of the white man's, which holds him under no responsibility whatever to respect. Thus to no sensible negro will say that he is a free man while being forced to adhere to agreements in the form of law, which he took no active part in making. The negroes in your southern states are slaves now, for no other reason. It does not matter how many times one can count out millions of dollars. Not a cent of it is in his when he has no part in making and preserving the laws under which he is compelled to live. Thus we do not hesitate to contend that we are all slaves to God, who impersonate the power of our wishes. No matter how just they may seem otherwise, and for this reason I advocate negroes everywhere to try to do right perspective of the so-called laws of the land in which he lives. A law becomes your law when you make, frame and are given due ree presentation in it and by it to keep and defend it. So it in for this reason I refer you to social equity that you may know the right to do it. So I say again: colored people, study universal social and political economy, and then stand by the results even it costs you your lives. You may go some other way, but you will be brought back here before you can escape. This being so, it appears to me that when you have discovered your children the very highest possible way. And to yourselves to take an active part in everything pertaining to the government of your country, demanding social equality among your citizens under all similar conditions, and not others to look after. You will also appreciate the fact that your neighbors parading under another political name, can actually do just as much good or more than some who are close by your side obeying every political order dictated by the bosses. And that if your nation must continue labor and education must be respected first equally while money taking nothing better than third place in your considerations. Money is the representation of preserved labor. And education is the power by which labor can be economically preserved. The highest object a nation can hope for is to preserve peace and progress among its citizens. This is prosperity. A man then may be a staunch republican in the south and a rank democrat in the north, and be under either condition doing his country the best possible service, or vice versa. In the south in race domination. Where the republican party represents the only apparent spirit of progress and equal rights. In the north these good gentlemen are good and fat, and are quite willing to stoop to the southern dogmas to force down the price of labor and force up the price of gold. Thus money is being used to the destruction of the principles that made possible its accumulation. I do not want to hear anything from a man who is not brave enough to be square in his actions. And if he is a weakling admit it, and get in his class. The free laborers of the world will ever be against slave labor. As it is not practical that all have slaves; the capitalist, Being a fool, may dictate to intelligence, what it must and must not do. "Slave domination" is but another name for human slavery. And those who admit to it have cursed the Holy Spirit in their hearts, and are already without protection from that manual training was necessary for the colored Americans. But his lot was an safe on that score as that of the white man's, and the two should be educated together. Otherwise foreign labor is bound to govern the country, dominating both races in the end. So you can please tell the mouth piece of Thinkgee that the world is advancing much faster than his theories are, and if his school and ideas had never existed, many, a man who is hanging about the slums of the great cities, would gladly be in the south, actively developing the country. Necessity attended by hope is the best master of any occasion, and when a negro loses hope, like any other man, he must loot into despair. And this many times vanishes a recourse to intoxication. It makes the most sensible nerve seek cover under the wobbling of gross brutality, and a honest man, crime. A christian, he joins hands with the devil. And what else will it do? It will make one curse God and call all men liars. And we who support the word of God in truth, are bringing the dead souls to life by inspiring in them hope in a righteous God. It is enough to see the two classes of workmen at their toll, the one inspired by a reward, while the other is driven against his will. When the white man becomes to lazy to work, the necessity bite him from behind. The negro can always hold his own where there is square dealing, because that he relies most readily on God and nature. He is the most hopeful of all men, and in this we can understand the prophecy that "Ethiopia shall rule at lakt, as she did in the first." The American white man has done much to disparage hope in a backyard, but when real trouble arises the white man can quake. Thus I am ready to give honor to whom honor belongs. And advocate equity and, "SQARE" dealing among men, and uprightness before God. I cannot serve God in truth if I am afraid of man and the devil, because their laws conflict much. Thus I say again that a minister who cannot preach and practice equity among men, has no part with God. God is spirit; and spirit is science and any man who does not know God as such, can hardly convince me that he knows Him at all. And a true child of science never believes in race superiority. The Germans are teaching the world about what true science can do when employed only to a small degree. No man who believes its science can be made a slave. As he very little fears death. He is the willing slave of his convictions, for which he will gladly give up his life. with the other boys and girls of the剧院.

M., on Friday, Aug. 13, on a west bound passenger train for Columbia, B. C. I had planned to visit Ashville, N. C. and stop at Columbia, Newberry, Laurens, Greenaville and Spartanburg, S. C. but I discovered that my ticket would not allow me to stop over. Consequently I had to abandon my Ashville route. But having important business in Columbia, I decided to go to Columbia, Newberry and other places. I occupied a double seat in the gent's department of the car. The weather being quite warm I found it convenient to remove my coat. With hero and yonder a book, a paper or a magazine and with sleeves rolled up I settled down to business. As the train speeded on its way, casting stations behind it, the argument produced by Mr. Henry Miller and Rev. Collman, relative to their views along scriptural lines kept company for me. Several times it seemed there would be an explosion I smelt powder much. Miles after miles they split hairs. They would agree simply to disagree. Rev. Collman was preparing to deliver an educational address and on tip-toe he told Mr. Miller he had sorbously interfered with his text. Shut up that book. Mr. Miller said, you are just losing time. You don't know what you are talking about, said Rev. Collman, you should read more. Rev. Collman got off at Sumter, after which Mr. Miller and myself got along as two peas in one hull. Mr. Henry Miller is some sort of a Bible scholar himself and willingly risks himself in deep water. If I had witnessed the delivery of that educational address of Rev. Collman's and had seen him fall, Mr. Miller would have had to give us both satisfaction. As long as Mr. Miller and Rev. Collman rode in that car, there was something doing. Several times the reverend told Mr. Miller that he had the floor and was ready and willing to explain. It seemed that Mr. Miller had been loading up for some time for the Rev. I rather thikp they had had several titles before this. I enjoyed it myself. Now and then each would in urn catch my eye. Rev. Collman is a Reformed Methodist preacher and is said to have good work near Sumter. Mr. Miller is a good old Baptist. I somehow think they are getting ready for another battle. It may not be as fierce as the one at Antwerp nor of such long duration as that of Port Arthur, but it will surely be. The trenches are now being dug and the barbed wire has been ordered. It will be a memorable occasion and many dead thoughts and wounded desires will be left on the battle field to make historic the spot where two men met to agree to disagree. Mr. Miller is an employee of the A. C. L. railroad company, and is witty, to say the least. I saw Mr. Miller Monday at the station and told him to look out. "For what?" said he. "Joe. Colliman is getting ready for you." I said. He smiled and signified his willingness for him to come along. Napoleon smiled, too, doubtless, before the battle of Waterloo. I don't think he did much smiling the day after. I reached Columbia at 1 P. M. I at once took a car for Main Street. I met Major J. B. E. Williams manager of Pinkney's Palme barber shop. He is very polite and endeavors to give satisfaction. I also met Mr. H. B. Rutherford at his office. He is planning a trip to California during Sept. I also met Mr. J. M. McAdams, a member of Springfield Baptist church Greensville, S. C. Rev. C. F. Gandy is his pastor. He is stopping with Prof. Holman, former editor of the Recorder, at Orangeburg, S. C. Columbia, S. C. I visited Mr. Bailey's grocery establishment and found him and his clerk as pleasant as usual. I also saw Mr. R. W. Jackson at the U. S. P. O., where he occupies a clerkship I saw on a Main Street car Rev. Dr. J. J. Starks, president of Morris College. I left Columbia at 4:45, over the C. N. & L. railroad. I was surprised to find an excursion party on board. They kept it as likely for us as it was hot. I reached Newberry at 6:55 P. M. There was quite a crowd at the station, but I only recognized Mr. Boyd, his little daughter and Miss Maria Williams, youngest daughter, of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Williams, of Newberry. After a few minutes I left the station and went to the post office where I composed this article. Mr. S. P. Grimes, the janitor, made it quite pleasant for me, turning on the lights and hoisting the windows. He is very polite and knows how to hold the lid on the job. While at the office I met Mr. George Reader, of the Exchange Bank. He recognized having seen me before. Mr. W. M. Brawley passed through the city today, en route to Bennetville, S. C. He is quite an industrious young man. Rev. T. L. Tontley, of Manning, S. C., preached at Marion, Sunday, Aug. 15. Rev. D. J. Nathaniel preached at Weeping Willow, near Marion, S. C., Aug. 15. All doing fine. The Rev. B. P. Humphrey is assisting Rev. D. Robinson at Snow Hill Baptist church this week in a revival effort. Mr. Thomas C. Robinson, of Darlington and Miss Mary Jane Easterling of Bonnettville, were happily united in marriage on Tuesday. P. M. at 4 o'clock at the home of the bride, Rev. Long, of Cheraw officiating. After the ceremony they took a car through the county to Cheraw, caught a Coast Line, south bound train to Florence, at Florence, S. C. after chatting a few minutes with relatives and friends they secured a berth on a Pilman in sec. I, north bound limited for a two weeks' bridal trip to Washington, D. C., Baltimore, Md., and other points. After September 1, they will be found at their home, South Edwards avenue, Darlington, S. C. During the summer Mr. Robinson had considerable repair work done to his home and it looks fresh and fine. Mrs. Robinson is a teacher of good standing and is much missed by her associates. To them both we say good luck and a long and useful life. Mrs. Bianche Robinson, Miss Daisy Sellers and Mrs. Maria Sonlor, of this Florence attended the marriage. Mrs. Annie Knox Brown, of Florence, an ardent worker in the Sabbath school of Trinity Baptist church left the city, Wednesday, the 11th inst. for Norfolk, Va., to visit relatives and friends. Mrs. S. A. McCall is the leader at the "holy tabernacle" at Latta, S. C. Prof. B. F. Hubert, director Agricultural State College, Orangeburg, S. C. passed through the city recently en route to Cheraw, S. C. NEWBERRY, S. C. NOTES Nowborry, S. C., Aug. 15, 1915. Rev. James Kirkland, pastor of the First Baptist church, preached an excellent sermon today. The attempt was to draw a contradiction between the efforts on the part of many to praise their leaders for victorious battles and successful endeavors and the glorious and spontaneous efforts arising from the redeemed when Christ shall come to judge the world.. After the collection, Rev. Kirkland introduced mo as a representative of negro literature, etc. I spoke a short while, emphasizing the fact that Christian people should at all times bear in mind the fact that Christ never did intend for the flesh to dictate to us, picturing to us whether we should do this or that, but that the higher nature, the divine instinct, should at all times dominate. I also advised that we read our newspapers more than we do at present. After this I left the church in company with Rev. Kirkland. After speaking to Mrs. Kirkland we stood at the gate for some time talking. Rev. Kirkland invited me in, but told him I had to leave on the 3:22 train and would hasten on to Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Boyd's home and pack up. Rev. Kirkland is a very fine man and has a fine family. I told him I very much enjoyed my visit to his church. I reached Mr. Boyd's home at 1:25 P. M. and found Miss Luckinda Boyd Miss Ida, and Master Boyd, their brother. Very soon after Mr. Sillas Williams stopped for his Sunday paper. Then came a bunch of flowers, girls, violets and what-nots. After these young ladies came it was all smiles—the only pebble on the beach. First came Miss Funke E. Harper then Miss Myrtle Riiff, next Miss Eliza Riiff, Miss Theodora Cramer and little Miss Ida Boyd. As I had to leave on an early west bound Columbia train an excellent dinner was placed on table for me. "But professor," said Miss Luinda. "don't you like tomatoe?" "Yes, miss, just pass them here." I said. Those comatators were red to rind and when I turned that dish loose there weren't anything left but rind, either. What I like about this young cook, Miss Luinda, is this: she is a very fine cook and is always asking, are you satisfied and have you had an ought? etc. This is so nice. That was one time I ate some very palatable pie and don't know till yet, what sort it was. I think I'll go back and try some more, so as to be able to make it. I met Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Gillman Mrs. Gillman runs a city press- club and is always very busy, but finds time to be social and lady like Rev. J. A. Williston, of Cross Hill S. C. is pastor of Renwick Grove and is doing well during the past week. He has been assisting Rev. J. G garner near this city. He had quite a success. I also met Miss Mamie Speaks, a student of Voorhees Industrial school at Denmark, S. C. She will graduate next year a trained nurse. I also met Mr. R. E. Williams, one of the oldest citizens of Newberry, S. C. He is always kind and obli- ging. Rev James B. Williams, a stu- dent of Reniedt College, preached at Irma, S. C., Sunday, Aug. 15, using as a text I chap. St. John, 4th and 11th verses. Rev. Williamson is making good good behavior he received a check for one month's board from a white friend. Rev. P. H. Brawley accompanied law. Williamson from the city. He is also an industrious student of Benedict College and doing well. Mrs. T. P. Boyd left the city Saturday, Aug. 14, for a short visit to her relative nearby. Saturday evening was really hot weather here. Ice water was in great demand. It was necessary for me to visit Mrs. Gillman's water cooler several times before I quenched my thirst. A large number of people visit Newberry, the county seat, on Saturdays. They are jolly and surge up and down the streets easily. I wish it was so that our women, when they come to town, would have a place to rest as well.

Main 8t, Richmond, Va - —o———_ a RBrIcuworn pr Awon PCTS ND OSE BAP SATURDAY.....AUGUST 21. 1915 70 DEAD IN ERIE FLOOD The Property Loss Will Reach $5,000,000. 28 BODIES - RECOVERED Many Plants and Dwellings Were Crushed by Rushing Waters and Business Section of City is a Scene of Devastation. Twenty-eight bodies recovered, eighteen of which have been identified, and a list of names of fifteen known missing persons, is the correct toll of victims of Tuesday's flood in Erie, Pa. Coroner Hanley said he thought the death list would reach seventy-five, being swelled by the probable loss of a number of foreigners whose houses were swept away on the banks of the creek at Ninth street. Working in relays, under a scorching sun, police, firemen and volunteers continued their search in the masses of wreckage plied along Mill creek for the bodies still believed to be in the debris. Anxious crowds moved from temporary morgue to temporary morgue every time the report was spread that another body had been recovered. The work of clearing up the city was begun in earnest. The naval militia was called out to reinforce the national guardmen on duty guarding the stricken section, and sightseers were kept away from the working gangs. Estimates of the damage continue to mount as the extent of the flood becomes apparent. Where it was believed that $3,000,000 would cover the loss, it was said that $5,000,000 probably would be nearer the correct estimate. While the cloudburst that dropped on the city did considerable damage, the catastrophe resulted almost wholly from the bursting of the dam, several miles to the eastward of Erie. Mill creek, always a turbulent stream, was harnessed—dammed by the expenditure of considerable money, burst its bounds and went on a rampage that swept everything before its onrush. As the dam burst a vast volume of water was released, so that it swept onward and lifted the concrete bridge over the creek as if it were paper. The water swept over meadows for the first mile and gained momentum as it crashed and swirled along. It tore houses from their foundations, uprooted trees, swept away bridges, and when it reached the heart of the city spread in its area until it leaped all bounds and flooded the main street to a depth of five feet. The swirl of the water caught trolley cars in the flood zone and flung them like toys against telegraph poles. Brick buildings in the path of the waters were battered into ruins, and still the tide of the creek kept rushing toward the lake. Scores of houses were demolished and scores of stores were ruzed and carried away. The bridges went rapidly, and the steel and concrete served to clog the stream and divert the course of the enrushing current to French and Holland streets, where it struck the central residential portion of the city. Dwellings there were broken into debris, while automobiles were plowed up and smashed. In all twenty of the wrecked machines were found. When the waters came in their fury, supplemented by the immense flood due to the cloudburst, most of the residents along the creek front were at supper. The speed with which the flood raced along caught them in a trap, and they were thrown into the creek as house after house crumbled. A score or more of lives were lost below Fourteenth street, where the flood reached its height. Harvesting Bumper Crops American farmers are harvesting the greatest wheat crop ever grown in any one country. It may reach a billion bushels. Department of agriculture experts estimated the crop at 966,000,000 bushels, basing their calculation on the condition of the crop Aug. 1. Bumper harvests of other cereals and food groups are indicated. The spring and winter wheat estimates are: Winter, 659,000,000 bushels; spring, 307,000,000. The condition of spring wheat is given as 93.4 of normal, compared with 93.3 for last month, 75.5 last year and 78.9 the ten-year average. The 1914 wheat crop was: Winter, 655,000,000; spring, 206,000,000; all wheat, 894,000,000. Other crop estimates by bushels are: Corn, 2,018,000,000; 1914 crop, 2,072,000,000; oats, 1,492,000,000; barley, 217,000,000; rye, 44,000,000; buckwheat, 18,000,000; white potatoes, 481, 500,000; sweet potatoes, 63,000,000; sliced cheese, 1,084,000,000 pounds; sax, 200,000,000; rice, 20,000,000; hay, 75, 500,000 tons; apples, 205,000,000 bushels; panches, 60,000,000. Missouri Kill Two in Texas. Missouri outlaws raised the villen of Sebastian, thirty-seven miles north of Brownsville, Texas, killing two men. United States cavalrymen from Harlingen, twelve miles distant, have gone to Sebastian. The dead are Al Austin, president of the Sebastian Law and Order League, and his son, Charles. Fifteen Princess Marie Josee, Daughter of King of Belgium. ```markdown ``` rangers and armed men started from nearby points for Sebastian and every man in Harlington armed himself, preparong to hunt for the outlaws. Austin and his son were running a corn sheller when armed Mexicans galloped up, took both into the brush nearby and killed them. Lightning Killie Swimmer. George F. Seas, fifteen years old, was killed by lightning at Philipsburg, N. J., while bathing in the Delaware river. The boy was in the water when a terrific storm broke and he started for shore. He barely reached it when he was struck. Several hundred people, including his two sisters, Misses Emma and Hazel Seas witnessed the accident. Refusca $15,000,000 Legacy Preferring to remain a humble prelate, Rev. William Graham, pastor of St. Patrick's Catholic church in Pittsburgh, Pa., has refused $15,000,000 left by relatives in Sydney, Australia, and Bolivia, South America. "I have no desire to add to my burdens wealth that would bring me no satisfaction," he said. "I have enough for my needs and I am nearly sixty. Give it to relatives who need it." Kalser's Lozen 2.178.683 A London Morning Post dispatch from Bernie, Switzerland, says that the latest German casualty lists give the total Prussian losses at 1,641,569 and those for Bavaria, Saxony and Wurtemburg 537,114, making a total of 2,178,683. This does not include the naval losses nor the prisoners of war in Germany's lost colonies. Robert Gitt, nineteen, and William Schimuck, aged eighteen, cousins, were drowned when they attempted to "shoot" a dam on the flooded Big Conswagge creek, near York, Pa. in a canoe Their trail craft was shattered, and though strong swimmers, both were drawn down in a whirlpool twenty feet below. David Russell Greene, a wealthy druggist of Chicago, who was killed in a motor accident a few weeks ago, has left $5000 from his $120,000 estate to provide for his pet dog Nellie during her life. Mr. Greene was a bachelor.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA A GENERAL SURVEY OF THE WAR WEDNESDAY The German onalaught to the west of Warsaw has weakened, and London believes the lull due to a shortage of munitions. The Germans continue their advance toward Ivangorod and north of Cholm, in south Poland, and in Russian Courland. Petrograd announces that the enemy is checked in the Narew river region. A big battle has been raging on the Ypres front since Saturday, according to reports from Holland. New British armies have been in action in this region. Heavy fighting continues in the Vonges. The Austrians are reported to be ready to evacuate their first line of defence from Travignolo to Avisla, in the Jaonzo region. Several points on the Gall river have been occupied in the Italian advance in Tyrol. THURSDAY. Warsaw, with its population of almost 1,000,000, and the third largest city of the Russian empire, capitulated to Emperor William. The fortress was stormed by Bavarian troops under the leadership of Prince Leopold of Bavaria. The evacuation of the Polish capital had been under way for several days and most of the governmental institutions had been removed. The Germans have captured a section of the French trenches on the crest of Lingekopf, in the Vosges, after a violent artillery and infantry attack. Account of a French success at Ban d'Oe Sapt, in the same region, is given out by the Paris war office. Advice from the Italian front tell of violent counter attacks by the Austrians on the forces which have nearly enveloped Gorz and Tolmino. FRIDAY. Petrograd has officially admitted the fall of Warsaw and Ivangorod, two of the three great fortresses which held the Austro-German drive at bay for so many weeks. It is reported that Novo Georgievsk, the other stronghold to the north of the polish capital, is under bombardment and its fall is imminent. The Germans in the north are advancing on Riga, the Baltic port, and are reported to be within ten miles of their goal. Both Petrograd and London are confident the fall of Warsaw will not bring about the crushing of the cars' armies. It is confidently predicted that the Grand Duke Nicholas will extricate his forces which are retreating, eastward, and evade the German enveloping movement. The French war office reports the repulse of German attacks along the western line. The hardest fighting was in the Arzonne and on the heights of the Mense. SATURDAY: The threat of danger to the Russian troops from Warsaw, supposed to be still making their way eastward into Russia, seems to be greatest from the north. The advance of the German forces in the territory south of Dvynik is set forth in considerable detail in news dispatches, and this military movement, supported by railroad connections from Libau and Shavit, constitutes a real menace to the forces of Grand Duke Nicholas. An indication of the extent of the German progress in the Battle provinces is found in a dispatch from Copenhagen which says that the city of Kovno, some fifty miles to the west of Vilna, is being evacuated by the civilian population. Riga, at the mouth of the Dvynik, is expected to pass to German possession at any time. SUNDAY. The fate of the Russian armies that have retired from Warmaw and its vicinity is hourly becoming more hazardous. Dispatches from Berlin say that the Germans have occupied Serock and that they have crossed the Bug north of Serock and south of Wyszkow. This means that they are within five or six miles of the Warmaw to Petrograd railway, which if cut before the Russian troops have escaped, will mean the almost certain capture of an enormous army. The German forces in the Argonne attacked with great vigor and momentarily drove the French back in the western portion of the forest north of Fontaine Housyette. They were driven from their conquered trenches very shortly, however, managing to retain only a listening post. In the Voyages, where the Germans attacked Saturday with extreme violence, the French troops were entirely victorious. MONDAY Vienna official announcements say the Austro-German forces under Field Marshal von Mackensen have split the Rusian line near the Lublin-Cholm railway, in south Poland, driving part of the defending army northwest toward Warsaw, and part northeast toward Brest-Litovsk. Petrograd indicates the retreat was made under orders, after the main part of the army demanding Warsaw had withdrawn to a position of safety. German forces in the west have begun an offensive movement involving totally the entire line from the North sea to Switzerland, with the heaviest attacks centering against the Brittish and Belgian troops along the Yser canal, and the French in the Argonne region. Rome reports that Gorz, north of Trieste, is in ruins from the Italian bombardment, that food riots have occurred, and that the fall of the city is imminent Cota 3.000.000 Bilfo Order George J. Atkins, promoter of the Marietta, Pa., Manufacturing Company, has closed a deal in New York for the manufacture of 2,000,000 rifles. The Marietta plant will be renovated and employment will be given to 500 persons. An advancement of $550,000 has been posted. ```markdown ``` Do You Want an Umbrella? Well, here it is. The Hull Bros.

LOMZA TAKEN BY STORM Russian Armies May Retreat Further Into Interior—German Fleet Fails to Capture Gulf of Riga. Excavation of Villna, capital of the province of Villna, has been ordered by the Russian war office. The treasures of the great libraries and museums are being removed. Official announcement to this effect was made and caused dismay. Villna is a city of nearly 200,000 inhabitants and an important railway center 55 miles southeast of Kovno and about 225 miles northeast of Warsaw. The announcement of its evacuation was the first intimation that had been given that the retreating Russian army would abandon the Kovno-Gradno-Prest-Iltowsk line of defense and withdraw farther into the interior of Russia. Kovno and Grodno constitute the man defenses of Vilna, which is on the Warsaw-Petrograd railway, and it is considered highly improbable that the Russians would evacuate it if they expected to keep the two fortresses. Riga, the great Baltic seaport, government seat of the province of Russian Courland, was attacked on Sunday by a German fleet, of great strength, according to an official statement issued by the war office. Nine battleships, twelve cruisers and a large number of torpedo-coat destroyers, made persistent efforts to force a passage through the entrance to the gulf of Vilna, but were repulsed by the fortifications guarding the gate to the important city. one of the railers and two torpedo boats of the German fleet were badly damaged by Russian mines, says the republ. but the captain of the attack was dead in the main to the activity of the敌军的 scapane dottina. Loma Fortress Stormed.

BABY SEAL CHOKES Salzes $1200 Diamond Bar Pin Dropped by Woman. The effort of a baby seal, captive in a tank on the Million Dollar Pier, in Atlantic City, N. J., to emulate an ostrich, cost its life. Incidentally, patrons witnessed a battle of five seals for possession of a diamond bar pin valued at $1200, the property of Mrs. J. H. D. Banderon, of Washington.
