NET VOLUME XXXII, NO. 51 EDITOR MITCHELL TRAVELS I wanted luncheon, but the veritable "army" of passengers had crowded the dining room. At the top of the stairway, the pursuer and his assailant stood, after having roped off the entrances, where hungry passengers stood awaiting their turn to the dining room below. A sad eyed, but pleasant faced white lady with spotless white apron ushered those who were permitted, to enter into the room, after she had collected the meal.ticket, which cost just seventy-five cents. This was the cheapest meal I had heard about since I left Richmond, Vn. HOTEL RATES AND OTHER ACCOMMODATIONS The rates at Hotel Vancouver, at Vancouver, British Columbia, were four dollars per day and upwards. A guide had stated it as being four dollars per day and upwards, and mostly upwards. After paying my bill, I agreed with him. These people un here believe that money was made to spend, not to save, and they had a way of making you spend it. I did not see my new found colored friend in the bread or luncheon line. Even seventy-five cents for a meal was too much for him. I looked over the rolling again, and again, but the seeming never-ending stream of humanity was still there. Then the bankers from Oklahoma (Continued on 4th Page.) VILL HILL GONE TOO. Irene Hill beloved wife of Mr. Reu- ben T. Hill, passed away quietly Wednesday, November 3, 1915, at about ten minutes to five o'clock, at her residence 104 E. Loegh Street. She leaves a husband, two daughters and three sons to mourn their loss. At this writing the funeral arrange- ments had not been announced. --- CHARLES C. THOMPSON'S SUDDEN DEATH A DISTRESSING AFFAIR Charles C. Thompson, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Thompson, of 104 W. Jackson Street, Richmond, Va., made a fatal mistake when he decided to have the troublesome veins in his legs removed. He worked at Atlantic City, N. J., and was unusually faithful in his relationship with his parents, conscientiously looking after their welfare and saving his money. Having observed that many of his white acquaintances had been successful in having troublesome veins removed, he decided to undergo the same operation at Douglass Hospital in Philadelphia. The operation was a success and he seemed to improve rapidly. Mr. J. W. Thompson visited him and arrangements were made for him to re-cuperate here. Mr. Thompson returned to Richmond and was astounded to receive a telegram that he had passed away. It is explained that blood-poisoning set in. He had been a short time before writing letters. The fainting spell followed and all was over. The remains arrived here Wednesday morning, and were buried from the Ebenezer Baptist Church last Thursday at 3 P. M. Funeral Director A. D. Price officiated. WALLACE—HAMILTON. Mr. Royall H. Hamilton announces the marriage of his mother, Mrs. Emma R. Hamilton, to Mr. Wreford Q. Wallace, a former student of the Virginia Union University.

Mr. and Mrs. Peter Shackleford request the presence of their friends to the wedding reception of their daughter Ardella to Mr. Frank R. Smith, of Sumter, S. C., November 11, 1915, from 9 to 11 P. M., at their residence 733 N. Third Street, City. Friends in vited. No cards. STOLEN DOOR-CREPE. Funeral Director A. D. Price had a funeral at S. west Leigh Street, "right in the mouth" so to speak of his absent competitor, Undertaker W. Inez Johnson, who is at 10 west Leigh Street. It was Monday night that he put on the door a crapse that directed attention. The door is right on the street and he hung a piece there of fine texture and a magnificent wreath in addition. The cost of this new decoration is said to have been just ($9.00) nine dollars. Sufficed it to say that there was no door crepe there Tuesday morning. Undertaker Johnson's folks, when they looked out thought the body had been shipped away in the early morning and they were not sorry. Somebody reports that one of the Halloween crowd was seen with a fine door crepe on his head and a fine wreath around his neck. B, that as it may, Mr. A. D. Price would like to know his name and residence. For then his whereabouts would be permanently known for thirty days at least. Who stole Funeral Director Price's door crepe? The Birth of a Nation has gone and the Negro population has every reason to be glad. Certain of our colored citizens protested ineffectually against its coming, and now that more attention to it will not increase the advertising of it, the public should know the inside facts. The Mayor to whom the protest was addressed has come out in a published statement express, his approbation of the stupendous and magnificent spectacle, and his surprise that anyone should expect disorder or less friendly relations be, between the races as a result of its production. The public should know whether the Mayor faced the facts or not. To that end, the evidence in the petition is appended to this article. The argument submitted was not the likelihood of disorder and for that reason the Mayor need not have expended so much wordy breath to convince his hearers and readers that disorder would not result. His petitioners admitted that. Their argument was that the play was immoral, and his Honor has never questioned the truthfulness of the evidence adduced to prove that contention. Whether such scenes as were in the play are likely to incite race hatred in these days of lynching, segregation and Jim Crow laws, is left to the judgment of those open-minded people who read the submitted evidence. ENTRATS FROM THE PETITION "We believe that the play is im moral, and for the following reasons: First, it strives to justify the existence of the Ku Klux Klan an organization which went far beyond the bounds of common justice in burning, whipping, shooting, hanging Negroes without the sanction of law. Second, because in order to justify the Ku Klux Klan the author gives a long line of either untrue exceptional incidents, and subtly conveys the hint that such acts were so common that the Aryan birthright, could never be regained except through the machinations of such a midnight band. Some of these incidents are the following: Negroes showing white men off the sidewalk, Negroes beating a crippled old white man, a Negro Lieutenant Governor binding and gagging a white girl in an attempt to force her to marry him, another Negro, Gus, making an attempted rape on a beautiful white girl, who to save her honor, commits suicide. Third, it is immoral from the sex standpoint. According to an affidavit of May 26, 1915, deposed by Rolfe Coleigh before a notary public Mr. Dixon said that one purpose in the play was to suggest Thaddeus Stevens' immorality in his relationship to his colored mistress for many years, and that one purpose was to create a feeling of abhorrence in white people, especially white women against colored men." In order to do this, the author has Stoneman with two homes, one where his children lived, the other where his colored mistress lived. The other two scenes have been referred to above, the attempted force marriage and the attempted rape. The Mayor did not see fit to mention the objections which were advanced, preferring to state his complete satisfaction with the play, and to justify his action on the ground of the unlikelyhood of disorder. Let those who read, judge. ANYTHING TO SKILL OR RENT? See Us. Honesty in all dealings is awaiting you. BRACC BROS & CO BRAIG BROS. & CO. WHY ALLOW Your property to re- main vacant?

OGDEN MEMORIAL AT HAMPTON Hampton, Va., October--North and South are joining heartily in raising a fund of $100,000 for "The Robert Curtis Ogden Memorial Auditorium," which will soon be built at Hampton Institute from plans drawn by Ludlow and Peabody, architects of New York. William Howard Taft, Chairman of the Ogden Memorial Committee, which is composed of public-spirited men and women representing the best interests of the South and North, has issued, through the New York office of the executive secretary, Sydney D. Frisell, the following statement: "It is proposed by many of his friends now to erect a suitable memorial to Mr. Robert C. Ogden, whose services to this country justify a fitting testament to a man not vailed an unofficial statesman, the cause of the new and unique character of his work for education in the South. "The Southern Education Board was constituted under his leadership and its work marked a new epoch of national progress. It brought together men and women of the North and East and South and West who were able to further greatly the education of the South and especially of the white race. "For forty years Mr. Ogden had been a trustee of Hampton Institute and for twenty years the president of its trustees. The record of Mr. Ogden's life work makes it clear that Hampton Institute is the most fitting place for a permanent memorial. There is urgent need there for a large auditorium and already a few of his friends have subscribed one third of the hundred thousand dollars necessary for the erection of such a building. This would be particularly suitable to the memory of Mr. Oden." Other officers of the Oden Memorial Committee are: Edwin A. Alderman, Miss Ellen F. Mcon, William Jay Seidelfellin, and Mrs. John Markoe, vice chairman, George Foster Peabody, secretary; and Clarence H. Kelgoy, 176 Broadway, New York, treasurer. The national character of the committee is known by the number of states represented. Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The Oden Memorial at Hampton Institute will furnish an opportunity to many men and women to show KING, D. D. St Church, Richmond, Va. their appreciation of "Mr. Ogden's sagacious leadership and most gracious character which was so instinct with hospitality." WM. ANTHONY AERY. Sir W. T. Ruffin came over as the representative of Waverly Lodge K of P. No. 180. He was sent with resolutions to attend the funeral of Grand Master of Exchequer, B. H. Peyton. Sir C. W. Jordan, D. D. G.

EDITOR MITCHELL IN THE MOUNTAIN—A CASE OF PELLAGRA A FINE SHOWING AT THE HOMESTEAD — HEADWAITER SMITH A CENTRAL FIGURE A COUNTRY BAPTIZING. I left Richmond Friday night at 11 o'clock for Hot Springs, Va. In the party were Miss M L. Chiles and Dr. E. R. Jefferson. It was early when Clifton Forge, Va., was reached and we awaited the coming of the train which came through from Washington. It was fifty minutes late. When we reached Covington, Va., the early train for Hot Springs, Va., had left, and the second train was scheduled to leave at 9 A. M. It was fifteen minutes after that time before it pulled out. DR JOHNSON'S PATIENT We had time enough, however, to call on Dr. W. W. Johnson, who was just dismissing a patient who had had an aliment, which could be diagnosed as eczema, but which he thought bore the signs of the dreadful malady, pelagra. Her father had died of this disease. Dr. Johnson regretted that Dr Jefferson did not have the opportunity to examine the girl. Dr. Johnson got his automobile in a hurry and in a few moments was showing Dr Jefferson and me the sights of Covington. ON THE BRANCH LINE Miss Chiles was in the station awaiting our return. When we reached the station, we waited some time for the delayed through train. After it left, the branch line was utilized and the parlor car engaged from Covington to Hot Springs. The mountain country was beautiful and picturesque Arriving at Hot Springs station, we were met by Mr W. P. Tweedy, who conducted us to his four seat vehicle and a few moments later we were at the foot of the hill where we saw Mr. Rowea White, of Lynchburg, Va. who had arrived the night before, and Mrs Nannie B Callahan. We were soon in Mr and Mrs G. R. Wewer; our tage where we had an appetizing breakfast A SAFETY SWITCH The swith track, used as a safety is just below. By this arrangement should a train start, down grade, instead of going all the way to Covington, it would be thrown upon this sliding, where, gravitation would do the work, for it could not go up hill by its own momentum without stopping. Head water R N Smith is the central figure in this mountain resort. He employs all of the help there, and the small army of young men lined up before him is an imposing sight. He has also the arrangement of the salgues and he has the power to increase the amount for exceptional service. A. PALATIAL HOSTELRY A telephone message, from the head waiter and an automobile was noon at the foot of the hill to convey for Jefferson and myself to the Home, stead. We entered the side door, where the waiters come land go, and a few momenta later we were in Head, waiter Smith's headquarters. A wait of a few minutes and then we were led upstairs. It was just past 12:30 P. M. The chef and his assistants were busy, while each waiter was arranging the tables, preparatory to receiving the guests. Have you ever seen inside of one of these palatial hotels? It's a sight worth the time taken. Here were more than 200 waiters attired in the conventional black and performing their duties with the regulation and accuracy of regulars. There was no loud talking, only the clanging of the silver and the swish of the napkins. The waiters were under officers, so to speak, white R. N. Smith, with the suavity of a Frenchman, and the executive ability of a general, surveyed the scene. When the dining room was thrown open every man was at his post. I followed him through the hotel, which had been modelled and remodelled. The arcade was a feature. Here could be purchased novelties and necessities, medicines and postcards. The magnificent green velvet carpet was pleasing to the eye and step. MAGNIFICENT ARCADES I gazed down the magnificent arcades and hall ways. The white columns and ceiling reflected the green and with the potted plants and draperies made a magnificent combination of color that, enthralled, entranced and drew forth words of commendation from me as I meditated upon its passing beauty and loveliness, wealthy guests were lounging upon the divans and arm-chairs and cast glances towards the colored visitors, who, under the guidance of Head, waited it. N. Smith, were surveying these apartments. THE DOUBLE FOUNTAIN Just a step to the left and a fountain gave forth two streams, one was sulphur water and the other was a lytha water. We drank of the sulphur spring. A colored maid served us, I felt the glass. It was hot, and for the first time in my life, I quaffed deeply the hot sulphur water, for it came from the ground that way. We visited the cabaret, where the guests gathered and Japanese customs are observed. Then we went to the dormitory and to the quarters from which guests were served to their rooms. Here, I was filled with questions by the Knights of Lythaus and I answered them. How could I eat more after the breakfast a short time before. I ate, however, and soon afterwards was again at our temporary residence upon the hill. DECIDING TO STAY Miss M. L. Chiles and Mrs. Rowena White the guest of Mrs. and Mrs. C B Callahan. It was about 4 P. M. when Mr. R. N. Smith called for us for his automobile. A trip to the Waro Springs was heartily enjoyed. The return to our temporary residence was followed by a peaceful rest. That night our work for the Order of Calanthe was completed. Mr. Smith persuaded me to remain over the next day. (Sunday). Miss M. L. Chiles and Mrs Rowena White left at 7:10 S. day morning. They parted company at Clifton Forge. Va. the former going to Richmond and due there at 3:00 P. M., and the latter for Lynchburg, being due there at 1:10 P. M. the same day. As for Dr. Jefferson and myself, the day was indeed one of rest, until about 1:30 P. M., when word came that Mr. R. N. Smith had sent his horse and burgy for our use that afternoon. DR JEFFERSON A DRIVER Dr Jefferson was driver and I wa director. We headed for the Healthy (Continued on 12th Page.) 0 NEW COURT AT LYNCHBURG Lynchburg, Va., Nov. 2, 1915. A new Court of Calathea was organized here last night by Grand Worthy Counselor John Mitchell, Jr. He arrived here at 110 P. M. from Hot Springs, Va., and in company with for E. R. Jefferson, went to the rest, dence of Mr. and Mrs U. S. G. Patter, son, where he spent the time during his stay here. He visited Virginia Theological Seminary and College. It was after 10 o'clock when the work of initiation began at the Masone Hall. OFFICERS INSTALLED The following officers were installed and the new organization will be known as Palm Court: Worthy Coun- sellor, Mrs. Ida Lee Washington, Worthy Inspector, Mrs. Lillian Smith; Worthy Inspectrix, Mrs. Edna P.

OTHERS WHO ASSISTED Those members of the Order of Calanthe who assisted in the initiation were Mrs. Joanna Waugh, Mrs. Willie Christian, Mrs. Katie Stewart, Mrs. Rowena White, District Deputy Grand Chancellor Ben Evans, Grand Vice Chancellor U. S. G. Patterson, Mrs. Rowena White had charge of the arrangements. She is Grand Worthy Inspector of the Grand Court. The Grand Worthy Counsellor delivered an address praising Mrs. Emma Garland and Mrs. Martha W. Evans, who succeeded in getting up this new Court. They will be recommended for their Grand Honors. FINE REPAST A bountiful repast was spread, and all highly enjoyed themselves. Grand Worthy Counselor John Mitchell, Jr. and Dr. E. R. Jefferson left, at mid-night for the station. He was routed over the C. & O. R. R. The members of the new court were highly pleased at the outcome and the indications are that many more new members will join this new body. NEW BANK AT MOUND BAYOU. Mound Bayou, Miss., Oct. 23, 1915.—The Mound Bayou State Bank, the second Negro Bank under the Guaran-tee Act of the "State of Mississippi," was opened for business here on the 21st. Capital $10,000.00 and surplus $2,600.00, fully paid. NOV 8 1915 CAMBRIDGE, MASS. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. SUPREME LODGE NOT YET READY The Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A. S. A. E. A. & A. and Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal, E. E. Underwood, Supreme Attorney S. A. T. Watkins and Major General R. R. Jackson, both officially and personally, were not ready for the hearing in the contempt proceedings in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia last Wednesday and asked for another delay until Tuesday, November 9, 1915. In their reply no denial is made of the facts set up by the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia, and they admit that the action of the Supreme Lodge at Baltimore in dealing with Virginia was null and void. This admission shows that upon the main proposition Virginia is now in line to make good its claims. The vital questions are the legality of the individual tax levy by the Supreme Lodge and the legality of the vote adopting the new Constitution which took away vital State's rights. TO AID RURAL TEACHERS IN SOUTH. Washington, D. C. To assist teachers in southern rural schools in making their courses of study fit more closely with the farm and home interest of the children, the United States Department of Agriculture will shortly publish a professional paper, "Exercises with Plants and Animals for Southern Rural Schools." This bulletin, No. 305, is in no sense a textbook, but is designed merely to be a guide for the teacher. It provides work in studying and observing plants and animals for each of the first five grades. The subjects to be studied by the pupils under the direction of the teacher are arranged by months in such a way that the subject matter may be studied at the time of the year when it is most interesting to the children. Some of the work suggested is to be done in the classroom, but much of it is arranged for field trips by the class. In formulating the exercises the author had in mind increasing the interest of the children in their regular lessons as well as in the activities in their homes, and training them in outdoor observation by having them study ordinary seeds, plants, insects and animals carefully under the teacher's guidance. In this way the children are led to discover for themselves much of interest and value in nature that encapses the casual observer. TOOE CHURCH SILVER Thieves entered the First Baptist Church Monday night, October 25th, 1915, and stole the silver service from the rostrum. When Sexton W. Henry Jones entered the church Tuesday morning, he found that the silver service had disappeared. He saw cigarttes and matches-down stairs, which evidently had been left by the thieves. On Monday morning he found a false key in the door. He also noticed on Wednesday morning, that the church had been entered. He reported the case to the police headquarters, and on Thursday morning, October 25th, the detectives sent for Sexton Jones to come up to police headquarters and identify the silver. The silverware of the Monumental Church (white) has also been recently stolen. MARRY--Many respectable colored people anxious to marry. Don't send money but your description. JT.

The Wife makes A Mother in her The Wife CHAPTER 2.11 A "Led him come, grounded Black. 'He can't get no closer to me than I'll be to him. I'm not going to harm my past history. What Lethabna finds out, I admit frank and open, otherwise I stand firm, not guilty, lying on safe ground, technical and military.'" "But if Led Kingbill brings the sheer it’s only a matter of time—your plea of not guilty won’t save you from arrest. And both have any number of reasons to prove what he pleases, whether it’s the truth or not. If Gledwaine comes as a witness his position will give him a great influence against you, and the fact that he testify after you’d saved his life would make a pretty hard hit with the jury." "Jury nothing?" returned Black. "This case never going to a jury. Such things is settled to man in these parts." "But as surely as the sheriff serves his writ, you’d be landed in jail. And I happen to know the sheriff, has a man that couldn't be turned from his duty, good friend of mine top." "Is it? Then you'd better advise with him for his good." "Think of Lahoma. If you killed a man whether the sheriff or this Red Kimball Lahoma could never feel toward you as she does today." "And how would she feel toward me if I was laughed,uh? I guess she drunther I hold my man low than that I swung high." Willock started up impatiently. "We're wasting words," he said, roughly. "There is but the two alternatives. I'm one of 'em, and Red Kimball is the other. It's simply a question of which gets which. I tries to make it plain, for there's no going back. Now are you with me or not? If not I'll fight it out along as I always done in times past and gone and bedded) to 'em. I'm sorry my young days was as they was, and for Lahoma's sake I'd cut off this right arm"—he held it out, rigidly—"if that'd change the past. But the past—and bledged it to it—can't be changed." Lahoua's next letter came in a few days confirmatory of his worst fears. "Just read it aloud, Wilfred," said Brick, as all gathered about the lantern in the retiret at the mountain top: Dear Brick and Bill-An exciting affair has happened. I was sitting at my win.

And Red Father gave them a great stretch of land and Mr. Gledware got to be impressed in the trunk, he made himself one of them, and they thought him greater than anyone else was. The great agitation over the boundaries coming to the Oklahoma country and much bulk of the land being the open land. The Indians didn't want it done, and they joined together to send some one to Washington to address congress on the subject. Mr. Gledware was very resilient, they selected land, and for his fee, they collected over $0,000. Think of it. V of course he didn't go near! Washington. It was the time of Kansas City's great boom. He went there and bought up city lots and sold out at the right time, and that's why he rich today. In the meantime, the Indians didn't know her daughter of him named Kahni, her daughter just piled away and hid herself from her people till she was starved to death. That's why Red Feather meant to kill Mr. Gledsware. When he had finished Red Feather bent over Mr. Gledsware and said to him: "Me speak all true! Tell Lahoma—me speak all true! Then she whispered freely: "It is all true. Don't kill me! For God sake, don't kill me! Save me, Lahoma, my child!" I begged him not to kill the man. Red Feather said to me: "Yop hear how he treat my daughter! Ton my friend, Lahoma. You know all that and yet you tell me not kill him! "I told you not kill me! "Then you hate my daughter! "My mother could marry him. Red Feather, and I can be for his kid." THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. He shook his head, "No. Lahoma, he die! He leave my daughter to die, and this hand do to him what he do to her!" I never felt so helpless, so horribly weak and unclean. There I was, only a few yards away and the man was my steapther, and his enchery was our friend. And not far away stood the man's big house, filled with guests—strong men strong men who could have overpowered those of Indians. But what could I do? And a thought. Let him live, let him father. I thought that all of his all got property. Turn him house in the world without a penalty; it will be punishment enough. You can't bring back your daughter by killing him, but you can return him give up all he has to restore the money from your title. I didn't know why I thought of that and I didn't know why it made me to attempt my duty to kill him to save him to blim. But I knew what I did. So I shook the room and knocked down the door.

I am not so sure of pretending keen. I am not so sure of going to goose saying I am not to see you going him her hand waking from the rush. "But how did you know me?" "How did you know?" he returned, pleased to thank by her glowing beauty. "Her companion eyes, her warm touch books, her form, as a secret of my love, and not so thin as pleased and the desire if all these belonged to him. How did you know me?" he repeated. "Oh, so sad Lathoma," when I looked into your face. I saw myself as a girl sitting under the eedar trees in the cave with Bing and Bill. "Just you three?" demanded Wilfred whistling, so smilingly. "Who?" he laughed Lahoma, showing her perfect little teeth as if about to bite in a way that filled him with fearful joy. "And so they showed you that letter!" "Just you three?" repeated Wilfred. "Just you enough in the cave for you and Brick, and Bill?" "Listen to me, Wilfred, and I will do the talking!" "Well?" She lowered her voice to a whisper, "Lean your head closer." Wilfred put down his head. "Is this close enough?" he whispered, feeling excited. Men, women and children circulated about them; the air vibrated with the shook of trunks and mail bags hurled on the platform. "No," said Lahoma, rising on tiptoe. Wilfred took off his hat and got under her. She whispered in his ear: "Red Kilmall came on this train. There he is. He hasn't seen me yet—was in another coach." "Well, go on talking, Lahoma. I'd get closer if I could." "Shhh! He knows me, for he was a porter in our hotel. When he sees us he'll know I've come home to warm Brick. Shhh! Then he'll try to keep me from doing it. Look! Some of his gang are speaking to him. They've been waiting here to meet him. They'll go with him. I expect. We'll all be in the stagecoach together!" "What do you want me to do to 'em, Lahoma?" "I want you to pretend that you don't know me—and they mustn't find out your name is Compton, or they'll think Mr. Edigerton word to you to join me here. Be a stranger till we're safe in the cove." "All right. Goodby! But suppose I hadn't come!" "Oh. I could have done without you," said Lahoma, "or I think I could!" "You could never have done without me!" Wilfred declared decidedly. "I can right now!" she drew away. "I'll get into the issue." Don't follow too soon." There were three stagecoaches drawn up at a short distance from the platform, and Lahoma went swiftly to the one bound for her part of the country. She was the first to enter. She was seated quietly in a corner when the two long seats that faced each other began filling up. The fast to come were four men—one tall, slender, red faced and red hatred; two others of dark and bowering faces, who looked upon the former as their leader, and the last Wilfred Compton, who had undoubtedly joined himself to this reunion at Red Kimball's gang. The store, which was built after the member of the old fashioned omnibus afforded no opportunity of moving to and to the selection of seats, hence when Red Klimball discovered Lahore's identity the exact moment of the discovery was marked by his violent start she was safeguarded from his approach by her proximity to every large woman banked by a thin splinter. These were two stories, going to the evening's station where the coach would stop for supper, and Lahore discussed with them their plans and hopes with bright cheerfulness and ready friendship. Wilfred watched Regel Kimball as he glared at that direction and guessed his thoughts. Although Kimball knew Labanah, he was not sure that she knew him, and, though he was priviled of once that she was on a mission of warning, that might be true without her knowing that he had杰杰 Katsuo City. Red Nadat was burning to find out if he wrote a stranger to her, but at the same time fearful of being himself. He muttered to his comrade, yourself, a creature that Willfred whom he heard asked askew should ever hear nothing that he said. And he continued to stare at Labanah, his face beating, his self voiced eyed roar and the staring. What would happen on the night time that the stage presented its lonely way out as the last print? Since Red Kellogg must be appalled to the law in his revenge against Blak, there was to designee of his transgressing Ropes. But in the darkness, with two compassions with prisoners under Blak, he would most probably evade the attempt to prevent Lauren from publication. There was a chance that we would be thinking for the first time that the trees that the stage presented would be a stream when the stage was being a colony of flowers. As the late world was coming to a close, we witnessed the stage and Red Kellogg both take action to Lauren. I learned how you supposed to wear of the present day, the women, who had taken a degree of the late Lahomia had been put by the head of the other and as the government about the big wagon Lahomia was urged to go home with them to support. "Where you go in a few ways out," she was told, and well she got you have before the stage leave. The victims at the stage were great. A woman in the middle of Lahomia, she was, and both the young man and the former Lahomia man saw her go with supporter. Kannibal and her son is went into the sitting hall to have a body model and Warned with them. He remained silent, however, just so the person who has a number of children which he started away, and if the woman them in the coach. As soon as we wade in the single street with Vince, he closed behind him, darted toward the stage burn and by means of a dollsome deposit obtained two horses. Springing upon one, he rode rapidly from the settlement, leading the elephant and in a short time came in sight of the bank, which, with its out hotness, was the only banding in all the wide prairie. From its appearance he knew it to be the one described to Labona, and he galloped up to the door with the certainty of finding her within. "Oh, Wilted," she reproached him, "they'll make you and know you've come to result with me about warning break." "Quick, Labona!" said Wilfred, as if she had not spoken. "You can ride a horse, I suppose." He smiled, but his eyes were sparkling with impatience. In a nice Lathoma's face was glowing with enthusiasm. She looked back into the room and cried, "Goodbye!" Then Wilted Sawng her to the back of the let horse. "We'll beat 'em!" cried Lathoma as he sprang upon his horse. "Just as you please. I've never been left behind yet." The young man noted with sudden relief that she was dressed for the hanniships of the prairie. "Up there," she said, nodding her head toward the east. "I dressed for people, but out here for wind and sand." Looking back, she saw the family running out of the cottage, waving handkerchiefs and bonnets as in the mad joy of congratulation. "They think we're running away together," shouted Wilfred, with exultation. "How happy they are at the idea." "They don't know there's nobody to object if we don't," returned Lahoma grayly as she urged on her steel. "Come along. Wilfred," she taunted as his horse fell a neck behind hers. "What are you staying back back there for? Tired? If we got into the trail before that conch starts we'll have to put on all speed." "Doing my host," he called, "but I made a bad bargain when I got this beast. This is his best lick, and it doesn't promise to last long. However, it was the only one left at the barn." Lahoma slightly checked her animal. "That's a good thing, anyway—if there's none left those horrible men can't follow." Wilfred did not answer. He was sure the stage would be driven in pursuit at breakneck speed, and from the breathing of his horse he feared it could not long endure the contest. To be sure, Red Kimball and his men had no lawful excuse to offer the stage driver for an attempt to stop them, but CARLOS "Come along, Wilfred." three men who had once been desperate but away in might not look for lawful excuses on a dark night in a dreary dusk. In their white detour they had endeavored to escape detection from the stage, but shattered by no approach that capacities of mind and denied the hope that even a small grow might be framed, they find, as it were, back up to view on the profile and though so far away, their horses had been as distinctly outlined as two cents surrying across a white page. Watched reflected, "If Kimball, when he came out of that to train him, perused to all the direction he must have seen, and the first inquiry of the A. I. would inform him where on the house." But he had nothing until from the door the counsel long dragged to me through far away of boundless trees and greenery where "Let me off." "As I hear them." "My heart is about good up. We'll have to be the trail of the will endeavor down. "I will go on." Let me answered as she drew hard on the bit, "but I will have to leave you here by yourself." "As soon as travel that distance by yourself. And good as your heart is it wouldn't be." But thank you for thinking of me" he added, smiling in the darkness as he dismounted. "Let me hold your heart as well as my own." "No, dear Lalena, " if leading is to be done, I do my part." She impatiently to the ground and soiled her hands. Solely by side they slowly ventured from the trail into the lappable country on the left. They found them alive, treating them dead, mosspie that did not greatly destruct their progress. "Keep going," Wilfred said, when she plunged for breath. "It wouldn't distract our horses to whisper, for these fellows would hear them if it was thundering. Give me your hand." "Here it is," Lalena felt about in the darkness. CHAPTER XV. "M, but I'm glad I've got you, Wiltford." gasped Lahoma. "Oh, how they are dashing along." Listen how the man is lashing his whip over those four horses. Wish we could see them—must be grand tearing along at that rate." The stage was rapidly coming up abreast of them, and Wiltford felt bet grasp tighten. There was a flash of lights, a gifpause of the driver's face as of crushed leather as he raised his whip above his head, then noise and cloud of dust passed in and the lights became trailing sparks that in a minute or two the wind seemed to blow out. "My poor Brick!" Lahoma wailed. "Do you think you'll take good enough cure of himself from what I wrote in my letters? But no, he doesn't think Red Kimbail is coming yet, for I didn't know it till after I'd written. He's with Bill now, waiting for another letter. Or for a telegram." "No, no. Lahoma." Wilfred tried to soothe her. "He has been hilding for days. Why should he come out just at the wrong time? You wrote that you'd not send any more messages. Brick will be on the lookout for Kimi ball. He is sure to be watching out for him." "I know Brick." Lahoma protested, seemingly all at once overcome by the fatigue of her journey and the hopelessness of the situation. "I was afraid he wouldn't agree to hide at all, and just as soon as you came away and there wasn't any more prospects of letters, he'd get longeous and the of staying away from home. He's in that cove this minute, and he'll be there when Ied Kimball takes the sheriff after him." Her voice quivered with disdain. "Don't be afraid, Lahoma." urged Wilfred, slipping his arm protectingly about her. "Don't grieve. I'm sure Brick is in a safe place." "Well, I'm not in danger," said Lahome, withdrawing from his inquary embrace. "Don't take me for Brick. Maybe you're right; but, no, I'm sure he wouldn't be willing to stay out in the mountains week after week—and during these cold nights, for it is cold right now. We must burry on, Wilfred." "There's one comfort," said Wilfred as they retreated their way toward the trail. "Mr. Gliedware won't appear as a witness against Brick. We'll get him cleared any enough." "But Mr. Gliedware will appear against him, and we'll awe anything that red Kinnail wasn’t." "I thought he agreed to do that only on condition that a certain pin"— "Yes, but Red Kinnail brought him that pin just before I left!" "Brought him the pin that the Indian had?" "Yes, the pearl and oxyx pin. And Mr. Glideware seemed to consider it so important that I know Red Feather would never have given it up while he had life." Lahoma shuddered. "Yes. You see now what a red Red Klimball is. And you know now what a hold he has over Mr. diedware can make him tiffy in such a way as to ruin my poor Brick! It brick this red understand! how important it is to for his life and never, never let himself be taken. But he thinks nobody could get the better of Red Feather. You see, if he just destined what has happened he know Mr. diedware can convict him." "We must teach Brick Wiltock before Red Klimball gets his warrant," he claimed Wiltford desperately. "Yes, we must we must!" Lahoma was growling slightly hysterically. "I won't mind my hardship, any danger. But what are we to do? You won't let me ride on stage, and you wouldn't be willing to leave me here and take the good horse yourself." "You're quite right about that," returned the young man promptly. "We will be in court again and go as fast as my inordinate best can travel, hop big for some chance to come our way. We have to adjust age of not being in the place where Klimball could keep an eye on us." "I ought to be more thankful for that than I am," Lakuba sighed. They moved but as they rode forward Withehil became bogged more and more. "He's slow setting," Wilfrest Yemark et al. said it will give us a chance to talk. "He's way, do you feel ready for someone." From his overweight peek he drew forth the sandwiches. After they had eaten and the remaining long sandwiches had been cared for, they moved away in Wilfred's capacious pocket they pressed forward with renewed energy on the part of all save Wilfred's heart. They干了 containment, it was kept going faster than a walk. though it was observed by a cowboy to desire to be down. in order to deter Lilburn's natural fear from the difficulties and on his behalf the young man maintain of course that at high pressure, ably recorded by his companion, who was aware to show itself undoubted. "This is my long winter on my quarter section, nobody in sight—just the private and most studied out a good thing, just thinking about Oklahoma and itself." Labor and crafty. "I knew there was something to you thought about." "You've examined Wilfred, thrilled." "Yes. There was something else." "A little girl, I guess," murmured Lathoma gently, with a touch of compassion in her tone. "You've gossiped it. Lathoma-yes, the daughter little girl in the world." "I wish she could have cared for you - that way like your voice sounds," murmured Lathoma. "Maybe she can." Wilfred's voice grew to it. "Yes, she must." "Have you found a gold mine?" "What are you talking about, Lathoma? What has a gold mine to do with it?" "Beater nothing else goes," returned Lathoma delicately. "You might get single stockholm for Oklahoma and write the constitution yourself and be elected governor, but you'd look just the same to Amabel, unless you had a good job." Wilfred gave a jerk at his bible "When talking about Antabalus' he cried rather sharply. He had forgotten that there was an Annaled. "Everybody is, returned Lalouma, somewhat sharply on her own account, everybody is of ought to be." "I am not," returned Wilfred, springing to the ground, in time for his horse, on being checked, had promptly bain down. "Then that's what you get" remarked Lalouma severely, starting down at the dark lurk on the trail which her imagination correctly interpreted as the horse stretched out on its side. The wind increased in fury. Fortunately it was at their back. Wilfred pressed forward on foot, leading Lahomas horse, and partly on account of their unequal position, partly because of awkward reserve, no more was said for a long time. She bent forward to shelter her face from the stinging blast while he trod firmly and methodically on and on, braced slightly backward against the wind, which was like a hand pushing him forward. The prospect of a snowstorm in the bleak lands of the Klowa appalled him, but even while facing that possibility his mind was busy with Lahoma's attitude toward himself. Evidently it had never occurred to her that Annabel had vanished from his fancy years ago, now that she knew, she was displeased—most unreasonably so, he thought. Lahoma did not approve of Annabel. Why should she want him to remain passively under her yoke? Unconsciously his form stiffened in protest as he trudged forward. The wind, so far from showing signs of abstention, slightly increased, no longer with intervals of pause. The sleet changed rapidly first to snow, then to rain—then hall, snow and rain alternated, or descended simultaneously, always driven with cruel force by the relentless wind. At last Lahoma abstuted: "It's a regular northern! How're you getting along. Wiffled!" Despite their discomfort, his heart leaped at this unexpected note of comradeship. Find the already forgiven him for not loving Annabelle. "Oh, Lombom!" he cried with sudden tenderness. "what will become of you?" She returned gratefully: "What, will become of little?" Northern are bad, but not so bad as some men. Red Kinnaball, for instance. A terrific blast shook the half frozen overcrowd about her shoulders as if to stumble away. "Don't you wish the Indiana built their village closer to the town?" Kinnaball Hadn't we better burrow a storm cellar in the sand? I feel awfully high up in the air. "Poor Lahona!" "Believe I'll walk with you, Wilfred I'm turning to a lady leele." "Do, I know it would warm you up—a little." His teeth showed an inclination to chatter. "Come! I'll help you down. Can you find my arm?" At that moment the horse gave a violent lungue, then came to a standstill, quivering and shorting with fright. Wilfred's grasping arm found the saddle empty. "I didn't have to climb down," announced her uncertain voice from a distance. It came seemingly from the level of the plain. "You've fallen—you are hurt!" he exclaimed, but he could not go to her, because the horse refused to budge from the spot, and he dared not loosen his hold "Well, I'm a little warmer anyway." Her voice approached slowly. "That was quick exercise. I didn't know I was going to do it till I was down. Lt on my foot anyhow. Why don't you come to meet me?" "This miserable beast won't move a foot. Come and hold him. Lahoma. While I examine in front to find out what's scared him." "All right. Where are you? Can you find my hand?" "Uncut 1!" retorted Wilfred, clasping it in a tight grasp. "Fractures, how wet we are?" she panicked, "and blown about, and frozen." "And I couldn't be held together." "But, Wilford, it never entered my mind that I was the little girl. Would I have brought up the subject if I had known the truth? I never would. That's why I felt you took advantage. A man ought to bring up the subject himself, even if I am a girl out west and "But Lathoma." "And not another word do I want you to say about it. Ever least, to night. Wilford, so I can think about it. I told the horse you go and told out what's the matter." "Besides, you said, you know you said when we were spelling that I told that we understand matters And that would tell me when it was time." "It's not new. Lathoma time for you to be the best of your sweetheart and you still know what to call when we were sleeping that told tell the ball for you." ```markdown ``` "But I brought up the subject my self-esteem I learned to work at, "right short off for it, so I went to school. Oh, how trivial this house!" "Bid, Louisiana!" "Well, what is it?" "I just wanted to say your name!" He started away "It sounds good to me." "Yes, it stands for Oklahoma." "It stands or much more than that!" he called. "Yes," she persisted in misunderstanding him, "something big and grand." "Not so bad," he cried, now at some distance, "but what there's room for more than Black and Bill in the cave." If she answered the wind drowned her words. With extended arms he grazed along the trail with exceeding energy. Suddenly his foot touched an object which, on examination, proved to be a human body, a gaping wound in its heart. "Found anything?" called Lahoma, her voice shivering. He rose quietly and almost stumbled over another object. It was a second body, stiffened in death. "I'll be there in a minute," he called, his voice grave and steady. After a brief pause he added, "I've found one of the horses." He died. Wilfred had found a bullet hole he blinded our ear, but he said nothing. Suddenly the horse held by Lahoma gave a plunge, broke away and went galloping back over the trail they had traced, pursued by Lahoma's cry of dismay. "I couldn't hold him!" she gnashed. "He lifted me clear off the ground." Wilfred was also dismayed, but he preserved an account of calm as he felt his way toward her, uttering encouragement for which their condition offered no foundation. But his fierce cheerfulness suddenly changed to real congratulation when his extended hand struck against an upright wheel. "Lahoma, here's the stagecoach. It's standing just as we saw it last, except for the horses." "The stage coach!" she marveled, coming toward him. "Oh, Wilfred! I see now what! happened. One of the horses dropped dead, and Red Kimball and his men jumped on the other three. But I wonder, what became of the driver? "Get inside!" he ordered. "Thank God, we've found something that we can get inside off. That'll shelter us till morning anyway, and then we can determine what's to be done." "Once in the coach they were safe from the wind, and there was no help for the discomfort of soaking garments, but Wilfred lighted a reserve hatter and placed it in a corner, while thick leather cushions and stage numbers of freded ones is lost of test. As no plans could be formed until morning research had been plotted they agreed that the other would be for the purpose of carrying the from the first to the last of the trials of the work. (TO BE CONTINUED) In spite of all temptations to go to other stations Goethals decided to stick to the Panama canal job until the work is complete. While the women are preserving good things for winter let the men be perfectly neutral and not root for their favorites.

QUAD. Copyright, 1854, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate. Mr. Bowser walked nine times the length of the sitting room, when he paused and said, "Mrs. Bowser, there may be a gentle man to see me this evening." "About a five o'clock?" she queried. "No, Mr.," "No, have bought everything but been in the last ten years, and I didn't know but what you had got around to them." Mr. Bowser is down and left very quiet for two or three minutes and then said: "Mr. Bowser, there is no plant called Mrs." "No." "It had been right of me to the papers ever, she said. She's here. But I didn't know who you were, but it was very he- reest in a lot. Then, I have read or do not know it is that," she said. "I think I have read something of the sort. "I can describe you. It is supposed to be a word proof of the truth, and a great nation of the God. It has its temples, gives and paints. It probably has gone into two. It has its birds and beasts. It may have its Wall street in the color and form." "Who is going there?" impatiently ushed Mr. Porter. "My thunder by thunder" exalted Mr. Bowser as he brought his list down ```markdown ``` "WON'T AN AIR CLAP ME UP" on his knees. "I was not allowed to talk to you on that question. I got the last two days I have been thinking strongly of going to Mars." Mrs. Bowser smiled cynically. "Oh, you think. It one of my fads." continued Mr. Bowser as he noticed the smile. "Let me tell you, my dear woman, that I was never so earnest in my life. I want you to be with me in this thing. I want you to encourage me. A dozen times over I have been near fame and fortune, but you have stood in the way. For heaven's sake give me a helping hand this time." "If I can I will, of course," was the reply. "You can - you can. I know it and feel it. The man who can reach Mars and mingle with the people and take notes and bring them back to this world will be a greater man than any king who ever ruled. Money, will await him by the cartload." "And the question with you is how to reach Mars," said Mrs. Bowser. "No, that question has already been settled. I want your consent to go." "Oh, I see. Well, you can take the next train. If you have any other way of going, you may state it." Mr. Bowser smiled and chuckled and slapped his leg, and it was half a minute before he said: "The planet Mars is in the sky, isn't it? I have got to try the upward way. Won't an air craft reach it? Ha, ha, ha." Mrs. Bowser saw that he had been quite carried away with this scheme, and she got ready to give it a black eye. She therefore asked: "Is this your idea alone?" "No, no; an air craft man is with me in it." "Then he must be a fool. He ought to know that no human being can get above a certain height from the earth without freezing to death. I believe the limit is two miles, while Maris is something like seventy or eighty millions of miles away. After a certain height the air becomes so narrowed that no one could breathe." "Don't you think we know all this?" asked Mr. Browner, with a light of victory shining in his eyes. "We not only know it, but we have provided for it. If we have an inclosed air craft and a base burner cool store, what becomes of the cold? We shall make science take care of the prefired air, and there you are. Mr. Browner—there you are." "You say it was an air man who suggested this thing to you?" "It was my dear—one of the best in the world—and when he found that I had been thinking of the same thing he was tickled half to death. He gives me his word that we can reach Mars in about four days and that no accident whatever is likely to befall us. I am to have all the credit. He doesn't even want his name mentioned in the papers. It will be stated that I drove the air craft myself." "I see," snuffled Mrs. Bowser. "The air craft man does all these things for the fun of it." "No-o, not exactly. One could hardly expect that." "Then what sum does he want?" Mr. Bowser choked up, and his Adam's apple danced up and down, and it was some time before his emotions would permit him to say: "He spoke of $500, but I think I can beat him down a little. Of course, when we get to Mars the inhabitants will be only too glad to put us up at the best hotel free of all expense, and they will give us our legal and proof slops for the return trip. Tell me plainly what you think about it." "I will tell you a little story instead," replied Mrs. Howser. "Three years ago you gave an air craft man $500 to take you up for a little trip. You were strapped into a seat and away you went. The craft landed then ten feet when you began to yell and screams and about, and you billed the man a hundred million dollars to descend. He accepted the offer, and when you were unstrapped and once more on the solid earth you handed him 50 cents and started for leave. Is it to be the same thing over again?" Mr. Bowery turned us red as a bolted lobster, but for a wonder he held to temper. When he saw us, they was not a hard note in old voice. He said in a crossing way. "But you very dear, all the condi tion, the one of this three. On the present occasion I was looking for nothery, this time I am looking for Mr. Bowery and money. It means everything to me. There won't be one someone, if we have to go a hum dred, to meet him." "Have you talked with any scientific man at the time of Mr. Bowery? "Why the matter is so difficult to self. If the man we can reach Mars you must be the man we are. If that we shall find the man we are then. He is coming here to talk the man we are with him. I expect he will turn the ball at any moment. Then I have no reason not pay debt." "Mr. Bowes of the said very seriously, 'let it be made good that if he don't ask for any money tonight you have my consent. If he does ask you will give the thing, knowing they be is sharper.'" "By George, but that is fair!" was the reply as the shoelobed rang. "You wish to that of Mr. and Samuel Bowes set would be in Nors in less than a forty-night, and he will be relating to the inhabitants of the wonders of this world below." The officer that Mr. Bowser admitted and took to the office would have been shot by a detective as a confidant who had been to Mrs. as an honest upbringer and one who wouldn't ever steal money from a baby. Mrs. Bowser didn't get a book from him and therefore could not be informed. When the company tried to contact Mr. Bowser, they were told: "Well, do you know." "Does the police have a record of the air man." "She does, she's great willingness. She was very good at the great tasks and stuff that await her. So all is about her." "Just a trick. Mr. Bowser smiled the man." "What of the lady." "You said Snoop I believe." "Just Snoop and that the dirt cheap for fare to Mars." "Couldn't take a hard look of it." "Not a point. Mr. Bowser. Mr. Vince cent. As the would probably pay me $100000 for the privilege you get for a policy $200. I called this even ing to ask you to advance me $100 on account. I want it to buy heavy clothing with. I have offered all wool under shirts, sixteen inches thick, and the maker wants me to pay tomorrow. The balance of the $200 can be paid at the First National bank in Mars, when we get there." Mr. Bowser made to reply. None was needed. He was thinking of the agreement with Mrs. Bowser. The sir man didn't look so honest and upright as he had looked at the door. "Please do not detain me, Mr. Bow- ser" said the man. "What do you mean?" "You can go, sir, and the sooner the better?" "Then you have given up the trip to Mars?" "I have. I am going to stay right on this earth and make it my business to look out for swimmers. Good night, sir." Mr. Bowser waited at the door for a minute after the man had passed out, and then put on his hat and coat and took a walk. He did not want to face Mrs. Bowser not until he had recovered from the shock. The good woman waited and waited, and when he came in at last she pleasantly inquired if it looked as if it was going to rain—and that was all. Careful of Them: Mrs. Styles. I suppose you are wearing those fancy suspenders I gave you for your birthday, Henry? Mr. Styles—No, dear. I am not. I am afraid the nail I'm using as a button would rust them. Youkers Statesman. It is hard to forgive and forget at the same time and not very easy when we try to separate them. There is all the difference in the world between being left by oneself and being left by some one else. Making bread and beds may be good exercise, but trying to tell time by an ankle watch would be more spectacular. Absinth is being used as an explosive. Of course everybody knows it was one of the most destructive elements known to man.

Exchange. Bronze Gold Reflector. Government tests are reported to have shown that a new type of mirror now used in the largest searchlight in service in the United States navy is manifestly superior to any reflecting medium herefore developed for this purpose. Instead of being made of silver surface glass, the parabola consists of a bronze resting electroplated with gold. This form of construction seems to have a number of important points in favor of it. Silver is always subjected to corrosion, whose gold is not. Furthermore, the optical properties of gold reflecting surfaces are superior to those of silver in that the gold rays penetrate thick, foggy milieu, has much more efficiently than does light reflected by a silver mirror. American Buttons Now The situation in the button industry shows how American manufacturers can meet war conditions. A year ago there were predictions of a button famine, and a little later the scarcity actually occurred. At that time most of our buttons were imported. But American manufacturers got to work, and now we are selling buttons to some of the buttons that used to sell them to us. As for ourselves, we can get all the buttons we want here at home.

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT First and in case a cat he should never take the form of syringing. Nothing is more common in a case of cat seizure for a well notching relative to push for the syringe and set the victim to what may happen to be the very worst treatment in the world. If no one does that, some one is almost sure to drop oil into the ear. Now, nothing whatever should be put into the ear itself without medical advice. A doctor has the instruments with which to make an examination and he is the only safe judge as to the proper treatment. In many cases of acute inflammation he will have to puncture the diarrhea before relief can be obtained. In the meantime a great deal can be done toward giving relief by the constant application of heat in the form of a hot water bag or a soft bag filled with hot salt. Sometimes the doctor will order two or three drops of laudanum or a hot salt solution to be run gently into the ear, or in a severe case he may think leshes advisable, or he may raise a small blister behind the ear. Some children suffer from a chronic inflammation of the ear, without suppuration, but often associated with adenoid growths, in nose and throat. That condition calls for special treatment and the removal of the adenoids, for it is one of the most frequent causes of obstructive deafness.

He is better from near poverty to long-term wealth and power, the less America. This continues. "When a man knows something and can put it to work he is more of success than a poor man. When a man's body and brain meet the least resistance to the greatest intelligence he is a superior person. A good many men have the same ability as Charles M. Schwaab and John Hays. Hatamount without being paid $100 a day for it, however. All success cannot possibly be measured by dollars. Money making is only one line of success. To be aware of one's own powers is both as surance and the virtue." Recurring reports of the workmen and of work waiting for laborers in contiguous towns suggest that the official labor exchange movement is not a success. The plan hinges mainly upon cheap transportation for the workmen to the job which awaits them. It is all a question of economics for the community which has labor to spare. The men at last are not contented men, and the longer they remain in unfenced villess the wider grows the gap between them and contentment. If Mackensen, Hinderburg, Von Beesler, Joffre, Kitchener and French had been chernformed at sixty by Oster the history of the world war would surely have been different, although who can say it would have been better for any concerned? Whether our football players could learn something of frightfulness by serving on the western battle front or Europe's soldiers could pick up points on the American gridiron remains a moot question. Just to stand pat and in spite of all let us hope that before Christmas passes again the ultimatum will ring out from the battlefield, "Pence on earth; good will to men." 1.

MR.

The majority for us who was just 254, which shows that in a regular Democratic primary, he would have had a run for his money," with the honors nearly even. The movement for better government is gaining momentum and the indications are that the business elements, who are engineering the movement are in the contest to stay prison prohibition did not say anything and as to how he voted will ever remain a mystery, or whether he voted at all will be a puzzle. Certainly that is his own business. From any angle, he will be bereft of the central figure in any future contest, even though his action may be of a negative character. The Democratic machine has received a "poll", which may be followed by something blow. It must rather surprize the indigestent interest of the defeat of the people in the Party broke up the it of the time of the crates. Parties and there LAND HARVEST LAND HARVEST New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and other have gone Republican, if the return from last Tuesday's election mean anything. It must be a blind man indeed, who cannot see in this result the overwhelming defeat of the National Democratic Party in the next presidential election via witness has lost his own state. As a President of the United States, he has done fairly well, but with his Party, he has demonstrated his inability to successfully run the government. The fact that we are undergoing war taxes with no war is disappointing and aggravating to every citizen, who is made to pay it. The people are waiting for the opportunity to register their will and if the Republicana nominate the right man, his election is already assured. Side factions will not be considered. The people want prosperity. The Democratic candidates and their managers promised it and instead, they have given to us financial disaster. The outlook may be bright, but present conditions are dark. The election seems to have given everybody an insight into the attitude of the American people. Schenectady Re-elects Socialist Schenectady, N. N., Nov. 3. The Socialists repeated history.

These words are true no doubt; and these claimants are not in the least worried about the statement as of any value as an asset against what is claimed in their bill filed in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia last July. We have not said this money was there as money held "for the former slaves of the South"; and when the statement says there is no such money in the treasury, we have no fault to find with it, but we do say, that the Secretary of the Treasury cannot say and he has not said that there is not $88,072,388,99 held by him in the treasury of the United States, which was collected from cotton tax, collected by the revenue collectors of the United States treasury department from 1862 to 1868, but to the contrary, these claims, in their full in equity filed in the Supreme Court of District of Columbia, now state again and most positively, that the money to that amount is in the treasury of the United States; and that these claims are now asking the court to give them judgment against that amount of money, as they have a perfect right to do in this free country, and after this judgment is secured, then that money will be held by the treasurer of the United States, for the former slaves and the heirs thereof. These claims, through their attorney held a written statement from the treasury department, wherein it is stated that the money collected as said tax has never been appropriated by Congress, and also a statement showing that $88,072,388,99 of such tax was collected by the treasury department for years 1862 to 1888, and these amounts propose to prosecute their suit in the courts as they have a right to do the proceedings of the press recently issued.

Their multifluent voices rang to the music of "It's a Long, Long Way to, Tipperary!" They changed the words to "It's a Long, Long Way to Oklahoma." A GERMAN SUBMARINE The applause was deafening. They sang until the sirgers were tired out. I wandered about the decks, looked out upon the bay and saw a submarine in the distance. I was on a bristlish steamer. I was in bristlish waters. A German submarine would have made quick work of the steamer and passengers. But there was no danger here. The water was smooth as a park lake. IN VICTORIA AT LAST I had at last, secured admission to the dining room—a lone colored passenger. I was furnished with all that my heart could wish and my appetite desire. I wended my way to the upper deck and awafted the time of arrival at the famous capital of British Columbia, Victoria. It was not long before the vessel was along side the wharf and the passengers were soon on their way to the main part of the city. Here were touring cars, automobiles and tallyhouses. I saw a colored man driving one of these. I climbed up on one of the sightseeing automobiles and found myself in the midst of the bankers from Oklahoma. POINTS OF INTEREST They should not antipathy to me whatever, and for the time being, I felt at home. I saw the parliament building, the great park there, and the points of interest. I saw the great wireless station and the beach, where a granadillo wall had been built to protect the cemetery from the waves of the restless sea. Here, too, a stream had been wrecked and many lives lost. The beach had been washed away during a storm and part of the cemetery with it. This caused the building of the retaining wall. LARGE CHILDREN I saw no colored people, only Japanese and Chinese, either one or the other, and it was difficult for me to determine the nationality of either. As we passed through a park we saw a sign prohibiting anyone but children from using the swings upon the playgrounds. In one of the swings sat an elderly lady, and the guide facetiously remarked that she was a specimen of the children raised in Victoria. We had stopped at Oak Bay Hotel. In the rear of that was an Indian Totem Pole from Alaska. I did not understand why, the Oklahoma bankers leaped down so briskly, until I noticed the sign that the guide had given it was a plain matter of fast hostelry. THAT HUNDRED YEAR CLOCK As we entered, we were told that this clock on the hallway had been running without intermission for one hundred years. I afterwards asked the chauffeur about it, and his reply was that he did not know. All of the people who might have tested to in midnight, one of whom had your name, I went into a hotel room. I entered and boarded the coach the next morning and the patrons of the liquor. The numbers and the product's sight of all and they were happy in a few minutes, that spirit of swearing away from the table. We were returning to the wharf. RIGHT INSPECTION The others were returning too after two hours' stay in the capital of British Columbia. Arriving at the wharf, I found that it had been much easier to come off the steamer than it was to go back on there again. The inspection officers were asking questions. They examined the ticker and within ten minutes, I was safely aboard the steamer again. As for my colored friend from Vancouver, he had disappeared. I sat back in a seat on the upper deck, read a newspaper and scanned the bay on our way to Port Townsend, where we were scheduled to stop and inspect the largest dry dock on the Pacific Coast, which is located there. JOHN MITCHELL, JR. EMERSON HARRINGTON Elected Governor of Maryland by Democrata. LOCAL SPORTS (By Robert H. Smith) The St. Paul Normal and Industrial institute or Lawrenceville, Va. won the game of foot-ball from the Olympia Athletics of this city on last Monday November the 1st. The score was 14 to 0. The Battle Axe Foot-Ball Team seems to be recuperating from its defeat by the A. S. Cs. They succeeded in "holding" the "boys" of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute on last Friday, with a score of 6 and 0, and literally "walked" away with the Fulton Athletics on last Tuesday, with a score of 32 to 0. The statement that they will have a game in the near future with a team of the Williamsburg Athletic Assn. has been confirmed by the business manager Leroy R. Ragland. We can only say "Success! Battle Axe, Success!!" The Pythian Cadet Athletic Astro is preparing a large wrestling tournament, on Thanksgiving night, at the Pythian Castle, 727 N. Third St. Any Athletic Clubs or Associations wishing to participate, will kindly communicate with, Captain, Robert H. Smith, 729 West Leigh Street, Richmond Va. We note with much pleasure, the interest shown by the Evening Journal, in promoting clean sports among the colored people of this city. It is not often that a white newspaper offer a beautiful loving cup to a colored man, through a colored tennis club, for a competition in singles. But this is what the Journal did. Therefore the right, thinking, clean sport lovers, should recognize and appreciate the worthiness of this paper. We trust that the Journal will maintain abiding interest in promoting clean sports among the colored people. I seem to us that the Olympic All-Atlantic Club, is "down and out" as the saying goes. It strikes us for this that they can't "come back" to the old standard of football playing, the question is: why? In all of the recent games of this season the Olympia have gone down in defeat, the question still remains unanswered. Is it lack of training? or is it that your players are (too old to be of any service) or is it that your day as football stars is over? These are hard questions to answer we know, but yet, we wonder why? CRAZY NIGGER CRAZK Some Southern newspapers remind us of the story of the harmlessly crazy fiddler who had a fiddle with but one string and spent the years of his life in an,argyll sawing out one tune on the one string. These contemporaries have but one idea. That idea is "nigger." The negro has been out of our politics in the South from twelve to twenty-five years. He is behaving himself admirably in some sections much better than the white people around him. He is making no attempts at social equality or political power and is attending to his business peacefully. Yet these newspapers continue to be sensitively crazy on the fiddler. Some of them are including new conventional spasia because of the fact that a few days ago President Wilson and Mrs. Galt, with two or three friends motored to a place not far from Washington and had a breakfast at a restaurant sept by octored people. This is stupidity, benignness and provincialism almost invasible. Every meal of every white family in the South which can afford to keep a cook is cooked by a colored woman or man. The average Southern white man, wherever he goes, prefers to be waited on and served by colored people. Everywhere in the North, the productions of the "Gold fashioned Southern cook" are famous. In the cities of Charleston and Richmond through years, the most fashionable caterers for all the big social events were colored men. In many of the small towns and some of the large ones the only restaurants at which a decently cooked meal is obtainable are kept by colored people. Doubless this restaurant near Washington has local reputation for some one special kind of food or for general excellence. The attempt of newspapers conducted by persons supposed to be grown men and able to read and write to present a protest against a visit by the President to a place of that kind is smallness whittled down to the point of absolute vacuity.—Richmond Evening Journal—Oct. 27, 1915 VIRGINIA—In the Law and Equity Court of the City of Richmond, the 13th day of October, 1915. Delaware Bowlea.....Plaintiff against IN CHANCERY Elizabeth Allen, Mary Johnson, and others "The heirs of Hiram H.

A Copy, Teste: LUTHER·LIBBY Cherk. George C. Pitkaugh, P. Q. After an executive session of 2 hours the Board of Police Commissioners, hearing charges of conduct unbecoming an officer against Detective Sergeant Fred L. Krengel, last night postponed final decision in the case until to night. The continuance was decided upon when it was said by one of those attending the meeting that assistant District Attorney Hiram M. Smith had personal knowledge of alleged trafficking in merchandise by Krengel. A telegram was sent the attorney at Norfolk making him to inform the board to-day if such was the case, and signifying that the further hearing of the charges would be postponed again if he had evidence which should be introduced. No witnesses were heard by the board at the hearing last night. The commissors decided that some of the wiltresses against Krengle in the cases in which he denied any participation, were of such a character that they could not be believed on oath, and that their testimony would be valueless. In two cases the detective sergeant admitted selling merchandise, and, this being true, it was deemed unnecessary to hear the testimony of the witnesses who had been summoned. WERNER FORMULATES CHARGES AGAINST KRENGEL Charges against Kreugel were bright by Chief of Police Werner after he had been instructed by the Board of Police Commissioners, at a former meeting, to take such action should he deem it wise after investigating the evidence adduced before the Council Investigating Committee. After several weeks of deliberation, the Chief of Police filed the following charges: "Pursuant to instructions from the Board of Police Commissioners to for, simulate such charges against Detective Sergeant Fred L. Kreugel as the evidence adduced before the Council in investigating Committee might warrant, hereby prefer the following charges against the officer. "Conduct unbecoming an officer. Specifications. Trading and dealing in merchandise of various kinds with persons suspected of crimes an dmts, demeanors and under police surveillance to his own personal advantage. "Giving exaggerated and misleading testimony before the Council Investigating Committee." "Witnesses named by Major Worner were. Lucinda Davis, M. Golden, M. Lilley, L. Wildhorn, Lords Blagl, Annie Clayton and Jim Davis. DROP SPECIFICATIONS AS TO MISLEADING TESTIMONY Detective Sergeant Krengel will not be tried on the charge of giving misleading information before the Council committee. It was said after the meeting last night that Major Werner was not in a position to prove that any of the testimony given by the officer before the committee was false, and his testimony is therefore accepted as true in every instance. This matter was only slightly touched upon at the meeting last night. Major Werner, as soon as Captain Pollock had read the charges against Krengel, made a point of his inability to prove any of Krengel's testimony, and the board accepted the statement as final. As soon as this matter had been disposed of the board went into the character of the witnesses who had been summoned against Kreugel. During the discussion Murray M. McGurtrie representing the officer, noted the fact that Kreugel would admit selling a shotgun to Louis Black, and a pair of carrings to Smut Steward. Both were his personal property and were sold principally in an effort to secure information needed in his police investigations it was stated. With these two specific case admitted, the board decided that the character of the witnesses in other cases was such as to warrant unbelief on oath and decided to take no cognizance of them. HIRAM M. SMITH INVITED TO GIVE PHIST HAND INFORMATION At this point mention was made of knowledge said to be possessed by Attorney Smith, who prosecuted Krenge before the Council Investigating Committee. Mayor Ainslie, ex-officio president of the board, decided to postpone further deliberation until Smith could be heard from, and ordered him notified him by telegram of this decision. The following night letter was sent the attorney last night: "Hiram M. Smith, United States District Court, Norfolk: "We are informed you can give evidence of your personal knowledge to the Police Board concerning transactions referred to in Council investigation. Is this so? If so will adjourn hearing until you can return. Answer Tuesday to Police Headquarters. "GEORGE AINSLUE. "Mayor." Definite word from Attorney Smith is expected before the board convenes at Police Headquarters to night at 8:30 o'clock. Should he inform the board that he has such information, the future hearing will be continued in about ten days. In the event that he has no personal knowledge of such transactions, the board will reach a declaration the case to night. Every member of the Board of Police Commissioners was present at the hearing last night with the exception of Commissioner Cliff Well. Mr. Well stated at a previous meeting that he would take no part in the trial of Krengel, as the officer was being tried on charges which resulted from his testimony given against Commissioner Well before the Council Investigating Committee.

To the memory of one who labored with great love and far vision among the people through whose land he one time passed with the armies of the North; to the memory of the leader of the Conference for Education in the South; to the memory of the man who stood with Southern leaders in the vanguard of constructive statesmanship and was designated "unofficial statesman," this meeting to review the movement which bore the name of Robert Curtis Ogden is a beautiful tribute from the South. The common platform upon which Mr. Ogden first labored with men of separate sections in efforts directed to the national good was at Hampton Institute, Virginia. Here he met his first friends from the South and here he planned with leaders who are today in the front rank of the forward movements for education, both in the South and North. Therefore a building at Hampton Institute in his memory will be especially appropriate. With the object of erecting a permanent memorial in the form of a much needed auditorium at Hampton, a committee representing the faculty and graduates of Hampton Institute, and the many friends and co-workers of Mr. Ogden in the South and North, especially those who accompanied him and attended the notable Conferences for Education in the South, will endeavor to give to some of the thousands of Mr. Ogden's friends an opportunity to take a share in this memorial. More than a quarter of the one hundred thousand dollars needed for the auditorium has been subscribed; five thousand letters go South and North this month; and the story of a life of far-reaching service will be told to thousands more by writers and speakers who know the amazing growth and benefit of Mr. Ogden's work. Hampton is rich in memories of devoted men and women, but there is not an ivy-covered building upon the beautiful grounds of the school which could speak more eloquently of high endeavor and devoted service than such a building as is now planned in memory of Robert Curtis Ogden. THE THE THE (Allen's National News Bureau, 32 West-59th St., N. Y. City, Nov. 1) One of the most notable meetings held in this city for the cause of civic uplift and good government was held last Sunday afternoon at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church under the auspices of the B. Y. P. U. The speakers were, besides Cleveland G. Allen, the well known newspaper correspondent, prominent white and colored men, who are the candidates for the various offices that are to be elected on November 2. J. Woods, the well known real estate man, and who is one of the most public spirited men of the race in this city-presided. He introduced Cleveland G. Allen as one of the most fearless young newspaper men in the race and one who in time will come into prominence. Mr. Allen called attention to the necessity of men and women becoming interested in all problems that confront the community and that it was the duty of the citizens to support only those candidates that pledged themselves for the best interest of the constituency. He praised Hon Frank Moss, who is running for District Attorney and said that if elected he would be square by all citizens. The audience tawn sang America. The next speaker was Hoffman Nickerson, a prominent real estate man who is the candidate for Assembly from the 27th Assembly District. Mr. Nickerson in his address told of the Norgroo, and that whilo he was at Harvard he studied several of the Norgroo poets like Dunbar, who have given him great inspiration. John M. Royall, who was the first colorized man to take up the fight for the race as candidate for Alderman told of the importance of electing a member of the race to the Board of Aldermen as it would mean that the Negro churches would have some one to defend its interest should the question of the taxation of church property come up. Hon. Frank Nose, who is the candidate for District Attorney and whose reputation as a lawyer is well known was the last speaker. He is a stunner tend to the Negro and was given the chauauquan salute when he rose to speak. BISHOP WALTERS HOME Bishop Alexander Watters, the great and fearless race champion who booms up today as one of the greatest personalities in the nation, is home today for a few days, after a strenuous campaign in the South in the interests of the Zion Church. Since the appointment of James L. Curtis, the well known lawyer to the post of Minister to Liberia, the great church man stands today as one of the greatest best factors to his race, as one who can be depended upon to always be firm when it comes down to the race. The Bishop spoke at the meeting held in the interest of the campaign of Rev. Holden at Bethol Church. ST. MARKS CLOSES RALLY St. Mark's M. E. Church, which has been running its annual fall rally the past month closed last Sunday. Over $3000 has been raised up to this time, and it is believed before the receipts have come the $5,000 will be reached. During the month the services have been of a high order. The following well known clergy men have occupied the pulpit during the month: Reva, J. E. A. Johns, of Newark, N. J.; R. G. Waters, of Orange, N. J.; F. J. Handy of Montclair, N. J.; I. L. Thomas, Baltimore, Md. and Dr. Tipple of Drew Seminary. The rally at St. Mark's is one of the most important events in the church life. Rev. Dr. Brooks, the pastor has been in charge for the past eighteen years, holding the record for continuous pastorate in Methodism. A UNIQUE BEAUTY PARLOR. Your correspondent is anxious to tion to another beauty culture parlor in this city under the management of a competent woman of the race, who is well versed in her trade. The parlor is known as The Princess Aranikiwana and is located at 18 W. 134th Street. At the parlor your correspondent found the latest equipment for hair culture, massage and manicuring and the parlor is fast becoming one of the most popular beauty culture parlorls in the city. Your correspondent was glad to see this unique hairdressing parlor. The idea of your correspondent in calling attention to this work among our women is to inform the race outside of the city of the success our women are making in this direction. GENERAL NEWS Your correspondent is anxious to hear from race. Journals throughout the country relative to furnishing them news from this center. All newspapers of the race should have news from this city. Great interest is being shown in the play *Darkydom* at the Lafayette Theatre of William and Walker, much interest been shown in a Negro play as is being shown in the new production "Darkydom." Your cor- respondent will write more about this production in a future issue. At the oratorical exercises at Dewitt Clinton High School last week two colored students participated in the exercises. They were Fitzgerald Phillips and Alvin Gary. Dewitt Clinton is one of the best equipped high schools in the country and colored students always get justice from the faculty. Lester Walton praised the Freeman last week for the good work he is doing for the race. Mr. Walton was especially pleased with the Freeman's theatrical page which he looks upon as one of the strongest conducted by our race journals. In the next issue your correspondent will write of Governor Whitman as a likely candidate for the Presidency. CLEYVELAND G. ALLEN TROY, N. Y. NEWS Troy, N. Y., Nov. 1,—Rev. J. A.

By your devoted wife, MINNIE A. CLIFTON REV. SKIPWITH AT DANVILLE. Danville, Va.-Rev. W. H. Skip with, B. D., international preacher and singer has just closed a ten days engagement with the Criary Baptist Church, Rev. G. W. Goode, pastor. The meeting was a veritable success from every view point. Large crowds attended each service.-spiritual interest ran high from the very beginning.-sinners were easily moved to occupy the special seats for them, and many were brought to a saving knowledge of the Saviour. All the converts, save one, are grown people and long time seakers. The gospel preached was clear, powerful and effectual. His singing is a special feature of his meetings and is a potent factor in the success that attends his efforts. Sunday afternoon the city turned out to the Ridge Street Tabernacle to hear the message the Lord had sent Danville by Rev. Skipwith and to hear a chorus of one hundred on more voices. Three thousand on more people, both white and colored, hurried to the Tabernacle to this special service. "The Lord will long remember the message. At 8:00 P. M. Calavry was filled to hear his last words. DONATION DAY. On Thursday, November 26th, Thanksgiving Day will be the annual donation day for Richmond Hospital. All friends and patrons of the institu- tion are expected and requested to make a donation to the work of the institution. Send Turkey before Thanksgiving Day. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. A TRIP TO NOT SPRINGS Springs. The automobiles that raced past had no attraction for us. The white horse we were driving had the right of way when no automobiles were in sight. Then the doctor endeavored to drive clear out of the roadway. We were told that there was to be a baptizing that afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. After some effort, we found the place. White people were journeying there too. There's the doctor, Dr. Jefferson. Sure enough, just ahead, was the form of Rev. Essex Wells. He wore a black baptismal robe, a silk cap and beneath the robe could be seen a pair of seedy light, breeches. He carried a staff. Accompanying him was a deacon of his church. THAT GREAT BAPTIZING In response to the query, the older stated that he was pastor of Mt. Oliver Baptist Church. White and colored people had gathered. Automobiles and buggies were there. Rev. Hassel Wells conducted devotional exercises. There was silence. Even the white people reverently uncovered. About 150 persons were present. Rev. Howard finally started into the creek which had been dammed up to make it deep enough. He did not finch as he waded into that chilly stream from the mountains. He evidently was used to such experiences. Then the candidates followed. He baptized them in true "Jasper style" four males and three females. The last one got "happy" and it was necessary to lead her out. THE ASSEMBLAGE DISMISSED Then Rev. Eddy Wells dismisses the assemblage and the crowd wendens their way across the foot bridge and the elder, with a kindly smile upon his countenance, ascended the hill to a house where he changed his wet garment for the ministerial dry ones. When I saw him in his black miniskirtal coat and pants, he looked like another man. He greeted me cordially saying that he had been reading on the Planet about my travels. As for me, I met Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Hallhurton and Mr. and Mrs. Gantel Webster and Miss Hallhurton at Healing Spring Gap, while as we drove off down the roadway, wide enough only for a single vehicle, the melodious echo of that soul stirring tune those colored folks had been singing reverberated in my ears—"I've been to the river and been baptized." M E. F. SCOTT HERE We were about to turn into the main road when we saw an automobile coming, I recognized at once, the fa. millar form of my friend, Mr. E. F. Scott, of Clifton Forge, Mr. E. He had with him Miss Camilla G. Scott, who had recently come home from Philadelphia with Harry H. Scott, and he had left his other daughter, Mrs. F. Pierce at the Hot Springs. He had come all the way from Clifton Forge, more than twenty-five miles, to meet me there. He wanted me to get in his car, but I waved him onward. I would meet him at the Hot Springs. When we finally met, he spent some time with us and then started on his return journey to Clifton Forge. Va. Someone had given him a bottle of grape juice for his wife. LOST HIS GRAPE JUICE I proceeded to congratulate it and that he took home with him may have caused smiles in his home, of frowns, so far as I know, or carried it I was happy. That might I speak to a large audience at the Chapel, Rev. D. W. Hill, the President of the Industrial School at Cilton Force, conducted the exercises "Weighing in the Balances and Found Wanting," was the subject, Rev. E. H. Dillard was also present. The choir and the Homestead Orchestra furnished music. All seemed delighted, at least they said that they were, and I was content. Mr. Mottleville Scheper has a political palace upon the side of the mountain and he has built several others. He accomplished wife met us, and we found that Mrs. J. L. Ray, of South Bethlehem, Pa., was their guest. I was to leave Hot Springs the next morning. A FINE ELOCUTIONIST Mrs. B. J. Wood, who formerly resided in Lynchburg, is an elocutionist of high order. Her renditions surprised and impressed me. She is admirably adapted to that branch of intellectual achievements and she reads the most difficult selections with the case of a master.

Stockton on the Disc-trict Lecturer. Sunday, October 24, 1911, will be long remembered, "when the Ideal Nurseries of Washington district met in their union meeting at the Hath, 12th and You streets, N. W. at 2 o'clock, to witness the organization of a new nursery, known as Fairmont No. 50, with Miss Mamie McAuley, as Senior Guardian, and Miss Mary L. Stockton as Junior Guardian. A beautiful program was rendered by the children, under the direction of the Sonior and Junior Guardians. Many visiting friends being present; all speaking in worses of the highest commendation of the National Ideal Benefit Society, and the workers of Fairmont Lodge for bringing in the first new nursery since the annual meeting. Refreshments were served in abundance by the Guardians, this meeting adjourning to meet at Liberty Baptist Church. Promptly at 7.45, to the 'sweet strategy of music, Mr. James E. Snow, Chief Marshall, had the members to form in the assembly march from the lecture room to the main auditorium of the church, where the following program was rendered! Comander John W. Stockton was Master of Ceremonies. Devotedly exercise, by the Pastor, by the chair. A summary report of the third annual convention of the S premier'Lodge by Mrs. S. W. Stockton, solo by Mr. A. S.

Holland Powell, and is reiterated by Mr. James E. Snow, P. C. of Louise; Mr. John George, P. M. of Fairmont; Mr. A. S. Evers, P. C. of St. Johns, and Mr. Lewis. Thompson of Philadelphia. The ushers, owing to the large crowd present, Mrs Jane Highes, Mrs Margie Syles, Mrs Etta Johnson, Miss Rebecca Rollins, Mrs Mary Dawson, Miss Mamie McCanley, Mr James F. Snow, and Mr Charles H. Stockton, were highly congratulated for their splendid service. When the Benedicton was pronounced, it was clearly demonstrated that the opening campaign for the Washington District was on. Tuesday night, October 26, 1915, the Lecturer, Mrs. Thompson, addressed the campaign committee in a union meeting, and organized an Ideal Nursery Board, with the following officers: President, Mrs. S. M Stockton; first vice president, Mrs. Louise Toliver; second vice president, Mrs. Susie Fowler; third vice president, Mrs. Mary H. Pratt; prelate, Mrs. Jane N. Hughes; secretary, Mrs. Adaide V.

City Traveling Agent Correl No. 12611 SUFFRAGE LOSES IN PENNSYLVANIA Amendment Defeated by Huge Majority. G. O. P. WINS PHILADELPHIA Smith Elected Mayor of Quaker City by Republicans—Head, Orlady and Williams, Elected Superior Court Judges. Philippe J. Novi, St. Penn yvanda died on January 15, 2015, by a majority of the rural districts the city is the amendment approval of the mayor. In the city is the mayor and heavy major- ities. This year in three judges of superior courts were Judice B. Browne and Orlady, present member of the council. Williams as the the mayor of the city, although chosen on a ballot in the court, Judge Head is a homeowner. Worcester Orlady and Williams are Republicans. Husdonton of Mertonbury, ran as an independent candidate and polled a good vote. No attempt was made to defeat Bude Head by circulating sample tickets in Philadelphia and other counties containing the names of Messrs. Orlaty, Hussleton and Williams. The movement was widespread and its effect cannot be told at present. There were interesting contests in many cities of the state, but most of the excitingights at the polls were for judges of the common pleas courts in the counties. Judge Miller, in Montgomery, is reelected, while the Chester contest is in some doubt. It looks as if Judge Brodhead is beaten in Northampton by McKean. Thomas B. Smith, Republican, had been elected mayor of Philadelphia over George D. Porter, independent, by a majority of from 50,000 to 70,000. The election was one of the most spectacular in years. Court proceedings, instituted by the Republican organization; the activity of the police an behalf of an honest election, and even the arrest of policemen figured in the days' events. Mayor Blankenburg himself, at the head of the police force, was prominent in the citywide movement in bringing about a pure and peaceful election. Organization leaders, however, made threats that criminal action would be begun against Director of Public Safety Dripps and others for their alleged illegal employment of the police. Chief interest centered in the mayoral vote, in the fate of the woman suffrage and other amendments, and in the contests for the Philadelphia common laws courts.

There will be no explosion. There being no cap or other detonator, the dynamite will simply burn filling the hole with dense, poisonous fumes that will almost instantly stifle and then kill every living thing inside.

BLASTING DITCHES THR Carranza has a chance to prove that the Mexican prosecute capable of self-government and can safely be left to themselves to try out constitutionalism. They never had a chance. The one great fault in Blaz's rule was that he trained no agents, substitutes nor successor to guide the masses after him. It has long been evident that one man power backed by the sword must go. Once the government is in the hands of a president elected by the people and having the moral support and confidence of the United States it is extremely unlikely that any revolution will make a showing for the next decade. With ten years' grace the new movement should get on its feet as the fruit of and viplication of that spirit of fraternity and helpfulness which the United States wishes to demonstrate at all times toward all can-American republics. blasting for tree planting is best done in the fall, because at this time of the year it is easier to catch the subsoll in dry condition. Blasting in the spring for spring planting, however, is much better than planting in dug holes, notwithstanding the fact that the subsoll is apt to be wet or damp.

The pessimist is convinced that even the cup of joy is a trick cup, with a false bottom. People who are never in a hurry to begin believe in the theory that it's never too late to mend. As one journeys through life, one learns by bitter experience that a fresh paint sign sells fine. There are some Cubans, and former President Gomes is alleged to be one of them, who are so dissatisfied with the political situation at home that revolution has been talked of. Under its present executive Cuba has been prosperous and free from disturbances and graft. A revolution would only invite intervention by the United States, and it is well to recall the hint given at the last, which was also the second, intervention that if called in the third time the United States might not again withdraw. So it remains for the people to be alert, sanguish disorder and curb all rabid speech. This country prefers that the Cubans manage their own affairs. Recently objection has been made in Cuba to the popularization of English speech throughout the island. If that kind step involves a deep rooted antifascist to their English-speaking neighbors and sponsors, it is fine that the Cubans are invoking the law, and more direct attention to Laurel Samu. A. B.

It is reported that the United States savings bank system, which had a long and big struggle in congress for existence, has become so successful as to develop a new problem of its own. The government limits deposits to the sum of $200, and in Chicago alone there are 1,000 depositors who have reached the limit. Doubtless in regions where savings banks and other facilities are less common the ratio of depositors who have reached the limit is greater than in the financial centers. Money that is refused at the banks may go into billing and serve no good purpose. No one should dispute the wisdom of public encouragement no frugality and thrift. An added feature in the case of the postal bank system is that it draws in the dollars of foreign laborers, and extension of its facilities would often result in keeping our own money at home to add to our circulating wealth instead of enriching the old world.

Shadow Lawn, which for a season at least is to be the summer home of President Wilson and his bride, has for years been known as the White House by the Sea. It is situated at Eberon, near Long Branch, N. J., and was originally built for the late John A. McCall at a cost of over a million dollars. It remained in Mr. McCall's hands only for a short time and was bought by Abraham White of New York. From him it passed into the 140 © 1915, by American Press Association.

The house stands on a knoll about fifty feet above the level of the ocean, which is less than a mile away. About it are fifty-two acres of rolling and wooded land of fine beauty. The house is three stories high and contains thirty two rooms, which are richly furnished. Two flights of stone steps run up the terraces to the top of the rise of ground on which the house is built. The entrance is guarded by a large dome level with the roof of the second floor, supported by eight columns. A porch about 250 feet in length runs about the north, east and south sides of the house, commanding a view of the ocean and of a beautiful country. ROMANCE SPOILED BY WAR. Prince Boris of Bulgaria Aspired to the Hand of Czar's Eldest Daughter. Before the war broke out the names of Prince Boris of Bulgaria and the Princess Olga were coupled together, and it was expected that a match would be arranged. Boris was said to be deeply smitten with the charms of the czar's oldest daughter, now a member of the Russian Red Cross. But the war has evidently spotted Cupid's 7 plans and in an imperial manifesto the Russian car has denounced Bulgaria as a hostage of the Slav cause. Marie Louise of Larnia. When the Balkan wars took place Prince Borla, then a bishop spiritled lad of eighteen, greatly distinguished himself. His courage and condescension made him very popular with both officers and soldiers. SIRES AND SONS. The provost marshal in England, Lord Athunney, is one of the best bridge players in London. Prince von Buelow, the former German foreign secretary, has served as a diplomatist in more countries outside his own than any other member of the diplomatic profession. The oldest Mason in the world is Abraham Kittlehune of 387 Greenwood avenue, Detroit. Mr. Kittlehune is 109. He joined the order at Waterford, N. Y., in 1827.

Dr. Hiranuma is a man of fifty and has been an official of the department of justice since 1855. No man's word carries greater weight in the courts of Japan. Short Stories. Albania means "the mountainous region." A state lunch in China comprises 140 dishes. Maces are carried by Turkey's irregular cavalry. A common needle passes through eighty operations in its manufacture. Columbia ranks next to Brazil as a source of supply for coffee for the United States. In connection with a new hotel at Honolulu there will be built a glass walled shaft, in which guests of the house can descend into the sea and watch its life. Train and Track. A new German electrical device to enable a moving train to set a signal makes use of a slight sliding of a rail as a train passes over it. Shoes with quickly removable soles and heels have been invented in France for railroad men so that they can escape should their feet be caught in tracks. The Union Pacific railroad carried 8,951,364 passengers in the fiscal year ended June 30 last without the loss of a single life. This includes not only passengers on trains, but passengers getting off and on trains. English Etchings. An English sovereign is about 22 carats gold.

Some people merely whistle aira, while others put them on: Nothing descriptive about the Mexican border bandits. They look the part. Men are like potatoes. They never know when they will get into hot water. Once we lose faith in a person or thing we never advertise it in the lost column. We generally have to pay for our experience, but don't pay twice for the same one. It is bad luck to turn back after you have started on the straight and narrow path. When you meet a person with whom you can't reason let him have the last word at once. Giving your advice doesn't always satisfy the people who want to get something for nothing. Some men believe they are entirely self made because they have forgotten all the help that they received. Do not confuse the names. McAdoo is the secretary of the treasury and Machado is the president of Portugal. Thrilling experiences are a wonderful source of conversation, but you don't really have to have them to talk about them.

NEW DEVICES FOR SUBMARINE PERIL Various Means of Combating Undersea Warfare. GREAT BRITAIN has discovered and put into effective operation means of combating the submarine, which, according to official reports to the United States government, already have resulted in a loss estimated at between fifty and seventy German submarines. The reports declare that the British admiralty confidently believes it has crushed the German undersea campaign. New methods of offense and defense that may revolutionize naval warfare have been adopted, and high British naval officers are of the opinion that unless the effectiveness of the submarine is increased it will no longer constitute the menace it has been to commerce and battle fleets. The British censorship has prevented the disclosure of details concerning the developments. While the greatest secrecy is thrown around the means employed, the United States government has information concerning the principal methods which have been successful in meeting the German war zone campaign. A submarine telephone has been developed by sound from observation boats or stations planted offshore connected with points on the mainland. For the capturing of craft whose presence has not been detected or even suspected linger nots have been stretched across the channels through which the submarines may be expected to attempt to pass, and in open waters ```markdown ``` Photo by American Press Association. SUBMARINE COMING TO SURFACE near stealthship lines or in the vicinity of warships, nets suspended between boats have been spread broadcast. Armed patrol boats watch, and when the boats disappear beneath the water, showing that a submarine has become entangled, the patrols congregate at the place, and when the victim comes to the surface, as it inevitably must to disentangle itself, it is destroyed by gunfire or captured. The German methods of supplying submarines with oil and provisions, either at sea or from concealed places along the coasts of the British Isles, have been forretreated out and practically disposed of. This compels the boats to return to their bases, at more frequent intervals and leaves them only a comparatively short time in position and compelled for effective duty. Destroyers, the reports to the United States declare, become expert in the game of submarine hunting, and armed trawlers also have proved very effective on account of their speed and ability to get quickly within easy range of their victims. But the greatest single factor, it is said, has been a newly designed and built fleet of small seagoing motorboats armed with one or two three-inch guns and possessing very high speed. These boats literally swarm over suspected expanses of the waters and by an effectively worked out system of patrol cover almost every mile of the surface in channels of commerce adjacent to Great Britain. These small boats have been built in large numbers in England, and it is reported that about 500 of them are being constructed in the United States and Canada to be shipped in sections to Great Britain. The story of French success with a submarine detector which has been undergoing tests off the French coast for the last four months was brought to this country the other day by William Dubiller, an engineer and inventor. Mr. Dubiller went abroad to experiment with the invention and to test the efficacy of several improvements he had made upon it. The instrument, he said, has been able to detect the presence of a submarine at a distance of fifty miles and within a short time this detection radius would be greatly increased. It is said upon good authority that Mexico owns only $200,000,000 to foreign, which gives us a new appraisal of Mexican modesty.

The recent laying of the level of the broadnaught California at the Brooklyn navy may help the inauguration of a new and greater navy for the defense of the United States. The California is one of the three battleships authorized by the last congress. At the next session of congress President Wilson will urge the adoption of the five year program of naval increase recommended by Secretary Daniels. This will add a total of 185 ships to A the American navy, which includes sixteen battaltships and cruisers and a hundred submarines.

Dr. Mortiz Canter, noted as Germany's senior mathematician and author of "History of Mathematics," the most comprehensive and important work of its kind and a striking achievement in German literature, lived at Fielddberg.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1915 ROANDKE (VA.) ITEMS. Rosmoke, Va., Oct. 18, 1913. Andrew J. Douglass shot and killed on the above date, a young man just morging into manhood over a jealous conception of the said John W. Clark's taking his girl home from the theatre. Happening took place on Henry Street about 11:30 p.m. The young man was dead in a short while after he was shot. A very sad happening, one we deeply regret, feeling that men should remember that God hath said: "Thou Shalt Not kill." Mrs. Emily Delhavan, a very highly esteemed Christian lady, of 7th Ave. died from acute indigestion, October 20th, at Burrell's Memorial Hospital where she was taken by Mr. Green Penn, of 3rd Avon, N. W. She fell on Henry Street and was taken to the hospital in Mr. Penn's car, where she died about ten minutes later. Sunday, October 24th, the funeral services took place at 1 p.m., being conducted by Rev. Goo, C. Taylor, D. D. of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church. He made a most impressive eulogy of the life and character of this noble woman, who had lived spotless as myther and neighbor, and adviser to the young, as well as an example to the world of Christianity. Her life was one of faithfulness to all she put her hands to in life, and as such, we feel satisfied she has received that grand Teward—a fideless crown with Him, who promised it to the ones that prove "Faithful Until Death." The funeral was well attended and the whole audience sobbed and wept. She leaves a husband, five sisters, one brother, seven children, and a numerous host of friends to mourn their loss, but Bea, veen's gain, as was shown by the appreciative attendance of the occasion. The remains were interred in Midway Cemetery, "There to Await the Resurrection Morning." Her choice hymns were the "Great White Throne" and "The Upper Garden."

The commission, after making a thorough statistical study of the disease and its economic effects, agreed that no satisfactory policy for dealing with the great white plague could be devised without the advice of the country's leading authorities—men who had made a life study of the prevention and cure of tuberculosis. Members of the commission accordingly waited on the president of the Medical Society of Virginia, Dr. Samuel Life, of Lynchburg, and requested that he arrange a special conference on tuberculosis at the convention. Dr. Life consented and procured the services of four of the recognized leaders in the treatment of tuberculosis. The main program of the conference, as given out here tonight, is as follows: Dr. Lawrason Brown, Saranac, N. Y., subject: Sanatoria in the Fight against Tuberculosis. Dr. Louis Hammann, Director of the Philips Clinic, Johns Hopkins University, subject: Dispensaries in the Fight against Tuberculosis. Dr. David R. Lyman, Director of the Gaylord Farm Sanitarium, Walthington, Conn., subject: Visiting Nurses in the Fight against Tuberculosis. Dr. Charles L.

Lloyd, Resident Physician of the Catawba Sanatorium, and Dr. Stephen Harnsberger, of Catlett, one of the ploneers in tuberculosis work in Virginia.

INSURANCE FRAUDS ARE CHARGED IN INDICATIONS Two indictments charging her with defrauding the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, of New York, by collecting insurance on the lives of persons falsely represented to be dead, were returned yesterday by the Hustings Court grand jury against Lucy Ruffin Hunt, colored. In one of the indictments Dr. J. A. Lewis, also colored, is made co-defendant. The first indictment, against Lucy Ruffin Hunt and, Dr. Lewis jointly, charges them with defrauding the life insurance company of $188.10 by representing Emily Capps to be dead whereas she is actually still alive. The fraud, it is charged, was committed on May 19 Dr. Lewis is charged with signing the alleged false death certificate. In the second case the woman alone is charged with stealing from the life insurance company on July 28, the sum of $58,699. The money, it is charged, was obtained by her in representing one John Cappus, brother of Henry, to be dead, and collecting, as his secretary, the sum in which his life was insured. Cappus proved his claim to a place in the land of the living by testifying yesterday before the court jury. PRODUCED BODY OF MAN KILLED ON RAILROAD According to Attorney J McD Wellford, counsel for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, the Hunt woman produced the body of a man killed in a railroad accident, claiming that it was the remains of John Cappus. The insurance money was paid over to her as beneficiary. Further investigations led the company to suspect fraud. The company claims that the John Cappus who testified yesterday before the grand jury is the insured, and that the alleged dead John Cappus was the body of an unclaimed derelict. Other indictments returned yesterday by the grand jury follow: James Brown, larceny; Marie Cole, larceny; William Creery, malicious assault; Lille Hamilton, housebreaking, five indictments; Joseph Overton, housebreaking; Burford Randolph, larceny; Robert Randolph, housebreaking; Seymour Stern, grand larceny; Willie Saunders, housebreaking, two indictments; Pannie Simmons, larceny; Acey Wells, housebreaking; and Julian Wood and Harry, Utley, robbery.—Times.Dispatch.
