VOL. XXVI. SIXTY PERISH IN BIG MINE FIRE Four Hundred Men Stampede in Race With Death. EXITS SHUT OFF BY FLAMES. Fire at Foot of Shaft of Pancoast Colliery, Near Scranton, Pa., Causes Explosion and Fills Mine With Smoke. Scranton, Pa.—One of the most serious mine disasters which has ever visited this section of the mining country occurred at the little village of Throop, a short distance from this city, when the lives of between 50 and 60 men and boys were snuffed out. Among those known to have perished are Joseph Evans, who was in charge of the United States mine rescue car; Isaac Dawe, a fire boss, and Walter Knight, a foreman. Evans' death was the result of a defective oxygen-charged armor. Charles Enzian, the noted expert in general charge of mine rescue work for the Federal government, was also overcome and is said to be in a critical condition tonight. As rescuers entered the mine they stumbled over three bodies. One of these was Joseph Evans. He was seen to wrench his helmet from his head. It had evidently failed to work. Evans was carried to the open air as quickly as possible, but he had inhaled so much smoke and gas from the burning coal that he died within a few hours. Enzian's experience was similar to that of Evans. Up to a late hour nearly two-score of bodies had been piled at the bottom of the shaft, but it was thought advisable not to bring them to the surface until the crowd had dwindled. A temporary morgue had been erected at the opening to the mine, and here were congregated hundreds of women and children, relatives of the men and boys who had been so suddenly snatched from them. Their grief was pitiful, children of tender years clinging to the skirts of their mothers, while older male members of the family sought to soften the anguish of the distracted mothers and sisters of the unfortunate men and boys. None of the bodies recovered was mutilated, death doubtless having been caused by inhaling flames and gases. To those familiar with the conditions in the Pancoast Colliery the finding of the bodies indicated that there was practically no hope for the other imprisoned miners. A great majority of the missing men and boys are foreigners, Foreman Walter Knight and Fire Boss Alfred Dawe being two Americans who are thought to have perished. The fire started in an engine house at the opening of a slope leading from the Diamond vein, 750 feet from the surface. There were 400 men in the mine when the fire started, about 60 of them in the workings into which the slope led. These 60 were at work in a "blind" tunnel at the end of the slope. AIMED AT THE CZAR Resolutions In House to Abrogate the Treaty With Russia. Washington, D. C.—Representative Sulzer, of New York, introduced in the House a joint resolution directing the President to terminate the treaty between the United States and Russia because of discrimination against American citizens of Jewish origin. Similar resolutions also have been introduced by Messrs. Harrison and Goldogle, of New York. The resolutions were referred to the Foreign Affairs Committee, of which Mr. Sulzer is chairman. Resolutions on this subject which were introduced last session failed of passage. A favorable report is predicted this session. Makes 148 Fire Dead. New York.—Death claimed the one hundred and forty-sixth victim of the Triangle Walst Company holocaust Friday, when 16-year-old Annie Miller succumbed to injuries received in jumping from the burning Asch Building. The girl died in St. Vincent's Hospital after being unconscious for more than two days. Government Selzes Biflesz Douglas, Arlz. — Two cases of Springfield rifles with bayonets, consigned from a St. Louis firm to El Paso, and thence to this city, were confiscated by A. H.

CRAIGE LIPPINGOTT A SUICIDE Prominent Publisher Shoots Himself In Philadelphia--Ill Health Philadelphia. — Craige Lippincott, 64 years old, president of the publishing firm of the J. B. Lippincott Company, art patron, clubman and society man of prominence, shot and killed himself in his home, 218 West Rittenhouse Square. The wound which killed Mr. Lippincott was self-inflicted, it was admitted in a formal statement made by officers of the publishing concern and confirmed by Coroner Ford in an interview. The statement issued by the publishing house is as follows: "During a period of temporary aberration Craige Lippincott, president of the J. B. Lippincott Company, shot and killed himself at his residence in this city. The business of the publishing house will not be affected by Mr. Lippincott's death." The statement made by Coroner Ford after he had received the reports, of his investigating physician and Deputy George McKeever was as follows: Coroner's Statement. "Craige Lippincott killed himself with a .32-callibre revolver. It was a new pistol, evidently purchased especially for the deed. Only one shell had ever been discharged from it, and that was the shell which killed Mr. Lippincott. He shot himself while lying in bed. The powder marks show that the revolver must have been held at very close range to the man's temple." SOUGHT BY THE JAPS 12,700 Square Miles of Magdalena Bay Now For Sale. Tacoma, Wash.—The practical completion of arrangements for the sale of the Flores-Hale estate, comprising 12,700 square miles on Magdalena Bay, on the peninsula of Lower California, was announced by Ezra P. Savage, exgovernor of Nebraska, who is one of the owners. The land is owned by a syndicate of Eastern men. The land is said to have been sought by the Japanese government for a coaling station recently. Two foreign and one American syndicates have been figuring on the purchase. One of these syndicates has an option; which one is not announced. El Paso, Texas.—Regardless of Washington denials it can be positively stated that the massing of American troops on the Mexican border was for precisely the purpose stated in these despatches recently. The troops were massed as a warning to Japan that it must cease its pressure on Mexico for a coaling station; it served also as a warning to Diaz that he might do well not to consider such a proposition and as an assurance that he need not be frightened about turning down the yellow man's proposal. This comes from a man as close to the Mexican foreign office as any American in the United States, a mah who has many social autograph letters from Enrique Creel, Jose Yves Limantour and even Porfirio Diaz. Spells 2/500 Words. Bowling Green, Mo. — "Seppulcher," spelled Miss Margaret Patterson and the two P's ended the longest spelling bee ever held in Missouri, with Miss Ruth Crenshaw, the winner, still standing. The Pike county court house was filled with friends and relatives of the contestants, who for 17 hours, with only an occasional intermission, had withstood the bombardment of words until 10,000 had been given out. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 1911. 图 QUALIZATION COL. ROOSEVELT AS PEACEMAKER A Suggestion From the Insurrectos in Mexico. THEY WANT A COMMISSION. Propose Commission Be Made Up of a Man Named by Diaz, One Named by Insurrectos and Third an American. El Paso, Texas.—Peace efforts have not been dropped by the father of Francisco I. Madero, neither is the aged man discouraged, but on the contrary, he has confidence in eventful success. The death of his 83-year-old father, Evaristo Madero, at Monterey, was a severe blow to the father of the insurrecto-chief and he has not been active in his peace negotiations, but so firm are his convictions that he will have arrangements so far concluded that he can go to his son's camp in a very few days that he declined to leave for San Antonio and Monterey, to attend his father's funeral. The real snag upon which the negotiations now hinge is the demand of the insurrectors for a commission to carry out the pledges of Diaz. It is understood that Francisco I. Madero is willing to let Diaz remain in office and that the insurrectors are willing provided that the reforms which Diaz has promised to grant are carried out under the guidance of a commission. This commission is to be composed of a man named by Diaz, a man named by the Maderists and a disinterested outsider. This outsider the insurrectos have mentioned as possibly Theodore Roosevelt and possibly President, Taft, but more likely Roosevelt, because the official position of Taft would make it rather indelicate for him to act. The insurrectos are known to have proposed such a commission with one of these two men as the chairman or third party. This would virtually mean a triple dictatorship or government head for Mexico, with Diaz a mere figurehead until the promised reforms are put into execution. As the American member would hold the balance of power, he would practically be the dictator and reformer of Mexico. If Lliantour and the Dlaz cabinet will agree to this, the peace meeting will be held. As soon as an answer on this subject is definitely received the senior Madero and his party will leave for the camp of President Madero. T. R. Lava Corner Stone. Portland, Ore.-Theodore Roosevelt arrived in Portland from California, and laid the corner-stone of the new club house of the Multinomah Athletic Club, speaking on the development, of amateur athletics. The Colonel reviewed 30,000 school children. Swallowed Steel Points. Ithaca, N. Y.—Surgeons removed 16 steel compass points from the stomach of Instructor T. J. Williams, who had placed the points in a capsule for safekeeping and then swallowed the capsule by mistake. He will probably recover. Plans to Prevent Deadlocks Washington, D. G.—A bill providing for the election of United States Senators by a plurality vote of State Legislatures was introduced in the Senate by Senator Root, of New York. The purpose of the measure is to prevent deadlocks in elections. --- TAFT'S MESSAGE TO CONGRESS Reciprocity Only Question Taken Ud by President—Considered It His Dnty. Washington, D. G.—The President sent to Congress his message asking the passage of the Canadian Reciprocity Agreement. The document is short and concerns itself only with the trade pact. Mr. Taft explains he thought his "utmost efforts" included calling the special session. He said: To the Senate and House of Representatives: I transmitted to the Sixty-first Congress, on January 26 last, the text of the reciprocal trade agreement which had been negotiated under my direction by the Secretary of State with the representatives of the Dominion of Canada. This agreement was the consummation of earnest efforts extending over a period of nearly a year on the part of both governments to effect a trade arrangement which, supplementing as it did, the amicable settlement of various questions of a diplomatic and political character that had been reached would mutually promote commerce and would strengthen the friendly relations now existing. The agreement, in its intent and in its terms, was purely economic and commercial. While the general subject was under discussion by the commissioners I felt assured that the sentiment of the people of the United States was such that they would welcome a measure which would result in the increase of trade on both sides of the boundary line, would open up the reserve productive resources of Canada to the great mass of our own consumers on advantageous conditions and at the same time offer a broader outlet for the excess products of our farms and many of our industries. Details regarding a negotiation of this kind necessarily could not be made public while the conferences were pending. When, however, the full text of the agreement, with the accompanying correspondence and data explaining both its purpose and its scope, became known to the people through the measure transmitted to Congress it was immediately apparent that the ripened fruits of the careful labors of the commissioners met with widespread approval. This approval has been strengthened by further consideration of the terms of the agreement in all their particulars. The volume of support which has developed shows that its broadly national scope is fully appreciated and is responsive to the popular will. The House of Representatives of the Sixty-first Congress, after the full text of the arrangement with all the details to the different provisions had been before it as they were before the American people, passed a bill confirming the agreement as negotiated and as transmitted to Congress. This measure failed of action in the Senate. In my transmitting message of the 26th of January I fully set forth the character of the agreement and emphasized its appropriateness and necessity as a response to the mutual needs of the people of the two countries, as well as its common advantages. I now lay that message and the reciprocal trade agreement as integrally part of the present message before the Sixty-second Congress, and again invite earnest attention to the considerations therein expressed. I am constrained in deference to popular sentiment and with a realizing sense of my duty to the great masses of our people whose welfare is involved, to urge upon your consideration early action on this agreement. In concluding the negotiations, the representatives of the two countries bound themselves to use their utmost efforts to bring about the tariff changes provided for in the agreement by concurrent legislation at Washington and Ottawa. I have felt it my duty, therefore, not to acquiesce in relegation of action until the opening of the Congress in December, but to use my constitutional prerogative and convoke the Sixty-second Congress in extra session in order that there shall be no break of continuity in considering and acting upon this most important subject.

Hunnewell, Kan.—After winning the Mayoralty in a fair fight and with a heavy handicap, Mrs. Ella Wilson has been courteed out and the certificate of election goes to her opponent, O. M. Akers, city clerk. Her prompt action in hiring an attorney to protect her interests, however, may cause a reversal of the procedure by which her successful vote was annulled. She has convinced the city attorney of the error. Women to Wear Suspenders Philadelphia.—Dr. Moses Stearn, many times candidate for Mayor of Philadelphia, sees in the harem skirt the moral uplift of the human race, the physical betterment of womanhood and the reduced cost of living. TO TRAINS —Cartoon by Triggs, in the New York Press. MY CREED. I would be true, for there are those who trust me; I would be pure, for there are those who care; I would be strong, for there is much to suffer; I would be brave, for there is much to dare. I would be friend of all—the foe, the friendless; I would be giving and forget the gift; I would be humble, for I know my weakness; I would look up, and laugh, and live and lift. —Howard Arnold Walters, in Harper's Bazaar.

To say that “It fs not always known at the time of marriage that such bar- riers exist,” is only another way of ‘saying thst ignorance of the law ex cuses its infraction — a plea which would hardly impress ‘twelve good men and true.” We cannot believe that “courtship {s polite deception,” and God help us if we ever come to accept as law the dictum that ‘sex passion is the impelling force that: brings men and women together.” We had flattered ourselves into believing tat men and women were at least a few degrees removed from the sta- tus of the brutes, but It seems that Mr, Hubbard has seen no boundary Une. We rather believe that the dl- vorce court does so large a business chiefly hecause so many people mis- take mere animal passion for-love and they do that generally because ‘of ig- norance.

One of the bravest expeditions that Hercules ever essayed was the slay: ing of the hydra, a many-headed mon. ster fabled to nave made his lair in a stagnant lake in Greece.

Among the other class, a certatn ‘sublime seldieh- neas,” born in the possession of un: Umited wealth, encourages its mem bera td disregard with impunity all the best {deals of society, and to fold themselves above its laws. If the woman tires of the man (and !t fs easy to tire when oue’s chief di- version is the giving of monkey-din- ners), she spends some thousands, or goes to another state for temporary residence, and thus rid herself of tae unwelcome incumbrance. If she should see another “affinity,” it is then a simple matter to go through the entire routine again, nad so on, to the end of the chapter.

John Wilkes Booth did not reckon on the flag which tangled his feet when he tried to escape. He killed a Lincoln, but up started a host of others to undo his evil deed. The kingdom of God is not a pillar which can be thrown prostrate in the dust, but a cube that always falls upon a base as broad as that from which it has been dislodged. | For every boy’ and itl, a kingdom is waiting, the king- dom of a noble, happy and useful manhood and womanhood, This is the real kingdom, for Joash, and for every boy and girl. Every young king and queen is surrounded by perils, as ter- rible as those that threatened Joash;_ and the only safety now is the safety that he found then—the protection of the church and of a godly home. A noble woman has done her part in saving the young king—the part that mothers play in the preservation of the young kings of our modern homes. Now a man steps in, as the father comes to have the chlet influ- ence over the life of the growing boy. Sehoiada, the high priest, was a man of ability and fine character. Prob- ably it was becoming increasingly dif- ficult to hide the growing Iad, and longer confinement would be moat in- jrious for him physically and mental- ly. The first step toward placing him on bis rightful throne was to gather 3 euticlent force of loyal adherent’. After obtaining the assurances, in addition to thelr own weapons, which of course they would bear, they were furnished by Jeholada with the spears and shields that, as relics of David's time, hung somewhere within the sacred precincts, just as his pre- decessor Abimelech had furnished to David himself the sword of Goliath. ‘These would remind them that it was for David's heir they were contending. Wise steps were taken, under the leadership of Jebolada, in the opening of the young king's reign, A covenant was made between the Lord and the king and the people. This was a re- newal of the original compact, in which Jehovah and his people bound themselves together—a compact bro- ken by the Baal-worship of Aatbaliah’s reign. What was the second step? The immediate and thorough destruction of the temple of Baal, with its altars and Icentious images, and the execu: tion of its high priest Mattan. It seems to be implied that the “house of Baal” stood on the. temple mount,. in ostentatious rivalry with the sanc- tuary of Jehovah, And the.third step? Jehoida appointed officers over the house of the Lord, re-establishing the courses of the Levites, and proceed ing at once to assign the custody of the temple to a particular course. And the final step? Leaving the Levites to keep order In the temple, Jeholda and the soldiers conducted the boy ing to the palace through the gate of the guard, doubtless that- through which the king regularly passed frou - the temple to the palace and back again, accompanied by his bodyguard.

Sarunpay, Arri 15, 1911 ‘The series of lynchings recently held in this State cause the law _lovers to bow their heads in shame. It is with much pleasure that we have noticed the recent improve: ments in the Chicago Defender and we take this opportunity to con- -gratulate Editor Abbott and his efficient staff of assistants upon the excellent showing this paper is making. Atlanta and Augusta are mak- ing vigorous fights against the money Jenulers, Savannah is_also infested with this class. Their main prey are the poor Negroes of the city, ‘Lheir very life blood is being sucked by the enormous interest that they are compelled to pay for a small loan. Last Sunday about forty gam- blers were apprehended in a dive on the west side. They were tough specimens of humanity. The recorder was too lenient with them in the matter of fines. All of them should have been sent for a long term on the chain yang, The frequenters of these dives do not work. They live upon their wits and the taking advantage of the unwary ones ,and the un- sophisticated strangers in the city. They make up the great criminal class. They are a disgrace to our race and a menace to the city. Would that the police would be more vigilant in enforcing the vagrant act, the loitering ordi- nance, and the breaking up of the dives. The war ended many year: ago and the bitter feeling that were caused thereby are nearly obliterated by the preaching of peace and good will between the sections. To cherish tender memories of that stirring period the Northern and Southern sur- vivors have organized associa- tions, and the bitterest foes on either side haye shown deserved regard for the other, and where- ever these survivors gather, they are received with proper acclaim, It was left to a Georgia mob, if the press dispatch on Sunday be true, to violate this breach and prove ap utter disregard for law and common decency when cer- tain’ veterans who attended the reunion of the Grand Army of the Republic at Fitzgerald, Ga., were assaulted, and for safety, were compelled to leave for their homes. Suppose this had occur- red in a Northern town at a gath- ering of Confederate Veterans, there would haye been a howl from one end of the country to another. We love Georgia and we are anxious for all of its citi- zens to become more tolerant and law abiding, thereby making her indeed the Empire State of the South. On Thursday evening Haine: Normal and Industrial Institute o: Augusta, Ga., held its twenty fifth anniversary exercise and : more memorable day from at educational stand point, than the founding of this school could not be observed by the colored people of that city, A quarter of acentury of existence in leading and shaping the educational life of the colored people of Auguste is the proud record of this schoo! headed and founded by the lead. ‘ng Negro female educator of thi: country. Miss Lucy C. Laney, whose birthday is also upon this same day, has made an enviable record since she first founded her little school twenty five years agc and the products of her untiring efforts to give to the people of Augusta and the state at large an institution of which they may feel proud are to be found not only in the city which boasts thi: institution but scattered through: out these entire United States of ours. Yes, Miss Laney’s work has been a most commendable on¢ and we join the thousands of ad: miring friends of hers in sending to her our hearty congratulation: upon having so successfully com. pleted such a long period of ser. yice to her people. Greater Mail Facilities for Greater Savennah. No greater impetus canbe given the Greater Savannah movement, than by having 2. more improved postal service. Under the present conditions and? with the limited number of employees Postmaster Blun is no doubt doing his best in the way of rendering the best pos- sible service. Even at this, the service is not satisfactory especial- ly to the business men and resi- dents of certain sections of the city. To satisfy this demand Savannah needs about ten more carriers, It will be surprising to many to know that many of the carriers are compelled to cover districts in 8 given time that are entirely too large. For instance the carrier in the Yamacraw section has to cover from West Broad street to the Ogeechee canal and from Hull St. to the river. In this district alone itis stated that there are 7,000 people. It is utterly impossible for this carrier to give justice to the patrons. The other districts are proportionately as large and populous. +In the business section of the great west side, the carliest,that a delivery is made in the day is about ten o’clock and on certain days not until mid-day, For months these business houses only receive two mails a day. ‘The ser- vice to the residents in the south- ern partof the city is ‘equally as bad, ifnot worse. é Savannah cannot expect to be- come greater while such conditions exist, and there should be an im- mediate movement for an increase in the postal facilities for the city. This movement should be inaug- urated by the trade bodies of the city and there should be no let up until the government allows great- er facilities. Undoubtedly Post- master Blun is interested in this matter and will lend his influence for greater postal facilities for Greater Savannah and will not allow us to lag behind Jacksonville with a smaller popu- lation and the conducting of less business and yet -boasts of many more letter carriers than has Sa- yannah.

I have read many times with pleasure song books of various titles by colored authors. After a careful examination I note with regret that ninety percent of the products are that of some one else. My ambition is to write and publish one of my own. It may be one of one song or one hundred songs. Never theless it will be mine just the same. As a vocalist, I am wedded to classic music but in this particular the height of my ambition will be to write a book that will appeal to the hearts and consciences of men and to produce sunshine and cheerfulness as well. I am in sympathy to an extent with hymns tunes of the plantation origin, but in no Royal Blues Banquet. On the night of April 6th, The Royal Blues Social Club, composed of twenty five young men, entertained with a most elaborate banquet at the Harris street hall. Guests to the number of about one hundred and fifty were present to enjoy the hospitality of these young men who are known for their magnificent spreads. The hall was exquisitely decorated with the colors of the club and presented a most charming aspect. There was prepared a most bountine repast of all the delicacies of the season and the members and guests feasted most sumptuously. Appropriate responses were made to Toastmaster I. C. Butler's calls for speeches. Library Day.

Then, he first question that would naturally ipresent itself is: “Wiat Is the rela ‘tlon of the church to the medern Sun day school?” In answering this question I should say that the Sunday school is a child ‘of the church. It was born amidst that travail of the church’s soul which manifested itself, first, in the effort to teach.the truths contained in the mritten Word to the cnildren and tac Youth of this awakened and awaken: ing age. ‘And since the church has brougat into existence this goodly: child it Is ‘bot natural to say that the church is under obligation to nourish and cultl. vate and train this child so as to make iit efficient in its plans to execute its cpurpose. * The parent that das born to him a sebild realizes that the very life of that child makes upor him a demand for support;’ and so the church that ‘has brought into existence the Sun- ‘axy school, must realize its obligation to support its child. But, you say the Sunday school is au independent and ‘zelf-supporting Institut:cn. It is not. At is the child of the church, and as ‘such, has a right to expect and de {mand support and cooperation. * Does the thoughtful, aspiring parent ‘cease to support his boy wien he 13 ‘fifteen years of age because forsooth he is able to earn his bread? No. And never, to his latest day, does he divorce bis interest from the welfare of his chiild. So, there will never be +a time when, and there will never be eanditions which will admit of tae ‘church setting the Sunday school apart to do business for itself But the relation comes yet closer home to thase of us with whom God hhas entrusted children. The Sunday ‘The Negro deserves more consider ation and better treatment from the white mar than he usually receives. God made the Negro man, a member of te human iamily. The doctrines ‘of the fatherhood of God and of the ‘brotherhood of man do not admit in- iterpretations including and excluding individuals or races according to any ‘man’s whim. The Negro has claims japon tae white man in proportion to those which the white man has upon hum. In the Christian economy ser- sxtee is laid upon each for all. Any jocial system that fails to develop jthe mental and moral life of all wao ‘are subject to its laws, whatever may be or may have been their physical ‘or civic conditions, cannot hope to escape the censure of all right-think- ing men, ‘Too mtch: has already been sald of the Negro problem and not enough of the Xegro’s salvation, There swould be no problem if truth and love ruled in the Ilfe of both races. Ygnorance is tae mother of misunder- standing, and an evil heart a fount- ain of strife. There will continue to ‘be a race problem so long as taere jare evil‘minded whites and wicked ‘lacks to fan it into flames. God and intelligent men know a brother- hood that i sabove all mere racial ‘traits. j} What the Negro, needs is develop- ‘ment. Many of his habits of the past have looked more to self gratification than to iis spiritual elevation. His ‘pleasures and his interests through HERE AND THERE, More Negroes cwn real estate be tween 133d and 133th streets and Stn and 7th avenues, in New York city, end of greater value, than in any other section of tie same size any place else in tie world. Recent tests of the loss of heat ing yalue of coal in storage indicates ytat Js fs so small that it is hardly ‘worth considering, Illinols coal put ‘to the test all the University of ill- imols lost less than three per cent i the course of a year, but the most serious matter is the loss by fire from spontaneous combustion and the brcak 4ng up of the coal into small particles so that the loss by dust Is a matter <1 some moment. A good one on a Maine game wan den came out the other day, The ‘warden had been trailing a Boston man whom he suspected of calling moose.

But. ‘the modern Sunday school. 1 must deal with that word, Modern; what does it mean? It is simply the word that differentiates the efficient and effective Sunday school of today, with its broader. thought, its higher ap: preciation of childaood, its modern methods and its impioved literature from the Sunday school of twenty years ago, with simply a Bible that the teacher could not explain nor the child understand, with now and then 8 catechism that dealt only with the be {ng and perfections of God, and left the personal life untouched. But, what made the modern Sunday school? It was the higher, clearer vision of the truth vouchsafed to the ciurch by God himself, The church realizes to- day as never hitherto the worth of a boy or girl, whether he sleeps in a mansion or hut, and wiether he lives and worships the true God in a Chris- tian land or bows to a stock or stone in the land of heathen darkness. And on this subject the church has spok- en. Its voice rings as clear as a buglecall on a summer's eve, and there {s no mistaking what it says. It says we must keep abreast of the times, -we must use methods to teach the child, and to train the grownup man or woman who are to have this work in hands, and we mist train them in such a way as to endble them, ‘in this great hurrying, bargaindriving, pleasure-seeking age of the world, to come to the work of life equipped. ‘This is an age of life and lghtning; the centuries have been largely phys: feal. ‘The service which he has been called to render has not been such as to quicken his intellect or to enlarge hls powers.

Now, we have the Modern Sunday school, it grew out of the church's vision and activity, and the churcn must keep Its hand upon Its child, The modern Sunday school lives beause the church needs It. The church is not governed by its juvenile members, but by taose of riper years, and no man can bea good general wao 4s not found among his forces. There: fore, I should say that the obligation oft the church is to be present at the Sunday schoo'. Let us, as fathers and mothers, be there to give the Sunday School our sanction, and the children and the teachers the inspiration and encouragement that cour preseace will bring. The tendency to be most dreaded, today is the tendency upon the part of the church people, who are grown up, to stay away from Sunday school. It,fs good to send your child to Sun- day school for some one else to teach, but better still to go and take bim and thus teach him by your own ex- ample, the value of moral training, even for the middle-aged and the old.

STAGE KILLING PROVES REAL Fete Organized by Mleslon Folk In a Chinese Village Has x Tragic Ending. There was a tragic ending recent- ly to a fete organized at a Chinese village in honor of the birthday of a member of the Southern Presby- terian_mission. An amateur theat- tical performance was one of the features of the fete, in the course of which Dr. Yang was to be killed by an assassin, The students had re- quested that the assassin’s knife should be made of wood or tin, but Dr. Yang insisted that it should be the real thing. This was agreed to, but it was stipulated that he should wear a breastplate. As soon as he was stabbed he was to fall to the ground, whereupon a red liquid, prepared beforehand, was to flow from the wound. No one kmowsa how it was that the doctor appeared on the stage without his cuirass. Certain it is that he did not put on the breastplate, and the assassin, Dr. Zennon, unaware of the omis- sion, drove his knife into the doc- tor’s heart. It was ‘hot until the in- terval that the discovery was made that the doctor was dead. Dr. Zen- non, horror-stricken, gave himself up to the police. HOW TO BEHAVE IN SOCIETY You Must Not Act as if You Thought or Had Real Good Sense. Never appear absent-minded in company. To be absent minded is indicative that the person is ‘think- ing, and society hes no use for people who -think.. When dining at a private house, if you fold your-napkin it indicates that you have no servants at home; if you do not fold it, it indicates that you have no sense. Most soci- ety people prefer the latter. When rising from your chair nev- er touch the chair with your hands, It is unnatural not to guide or help yourself with your hands; but any thing that is unnatural and idiotic generally is good form. ENEMIES OF MATRIMONY. {Wedlock seems to be in a bad way in the mountains of the Dauphine ‘The confirmed bachelors of the coun- try have, decided to mect every month and toast celibacy. Invita- tions are sent out with the informa- tion, “Good feeding, good drinking, much laughter, much dancing.” An added insult to matrimony is that the invitations have been sent to all spinsters who have “put on St. Katherine’s cap,” that is to say who are over twenty-five and are there- fore presumed to be on the high toad to old maidenhood.

Almost rivaling New York, there is now nearing completion at Liver- pool a “sky scraper” 320 feet high, The new structure is a remarkable building. Including the twin tur- rets that form its apex, it has 16 stories, each of a generous depth. There are no fewer than 18 lifts in the building. The structure is built, on tho ferro-concrete principle and its foundations are some 60 feet be- low street level. It is to win dis- tinction by having a clock larger than that of Westminster. There will be three faces on one turret and one fece on another 300 feet away. Each face will have its sep- arate motor to drive its 14 feet fin- gers. GOING, GOING, GONE. An auctioneer has had an extraor- dinary experience at, Old, Colwyn. As he entered a room where a sale was to take place he was astonished to see the people in it, about 40 in number, as well as the furniture, all vanish through the floor before his eyes. When he realized what shad happened he perceived that the people and the furniture had fallen into the cellar, ten feet below, owing to the giving way of the floor. No one, however, was seriously injured, though there was a good deal of alarm. A step ladder was procured and the people ascended it amid con- siderable merziment—Cardiff West- ern Mail. _ ONE OBJECTION.

A school of agriculture for suffragettes is being planned by Mrs. O. M. P. Belmont of New York, she having already set aside 200 acres of her Long Island land for this purpose. The best relief for the oversupply of woman factory workers is through the farm, Mrs. Belmont thinks, and the farm school is the result. A woman farmer of experience will be engaged to instruct the pupils and no men will be allowed in the scheme. "Of course, I expect the undertaking to be self-supporting just as soon as it gets fairly started," said Mrs. Belmont. "Many, farmers admit their wives add daughters are their best and most reliable helpers although there seems to be a general impression among city people, that women who are today working and managing their own farms have certainly demonstrated there is not a thing done on the farm that women can do. There are many wom wage earners who enter the already overcrowded field of unskilled labor because they have had neither the incentive nor the opportunity to learn some healthy, remunerative occupation. The shirt waist makers' strike last year in the city and the recent garment workers' strike in Chicago revealed working and home conditions fearful to contemplate. "While the young girls have been spending the best years of their lives in overcrowded workrooms and insantary tenements for less than a living wage, our rich soil has been spasmodically tiled by nomadic tramps, staying on one farm but a few weeks and then moving to the next town to spend the money tarned." PROFIT IN CURRANTS. Currants may be most relied on of any small fruit for a crop, if kept free from the currant worm. Early application of heleborone powder will destroy this pest, and a good crop is almost sure to follow. Remaining on the bushes from two to three weeks, they give better opportunity to market than most berries, and generally bring a good price. ALTITUDE LIMIT OF VEGETATION GROWTH. Vines grow at the height of 2380 feet above the level of the sea, treas at 6700 feet, shrubs at 8500 feet, a few plants at 10,500 feet and higher than this are found a few lichens. Vegetation ceases entirely at the height of about 11,000 feet. FUTURE SUCCESSFUL FARMING. It is not more land, but more fertile land, that should be the ambition of every American farmer. The only solution of successful future farming is in the increased fertility of the soil! It must be made more fertile—future human food supply depends upon it. The mills of the United States every year export more flour than all the rest of the mills in the world produce. A LARGE METEOR. A meteor whose weight is estimated at 50 tons recently fell in Mexico. BRITISH APPLE EATERS. Ten million apples are imported into Great Gritian every year. POULTRY POINTERS. The cockerels which are to be marketed should, of course, be fed a more fattening ration than the pullets, and those which are to be used as breeders should be kept from the pullets until about six weeps before the eggs are wanted for hatching. Especially when soft feel is fed, a broad, smooth board will be found very convenient in feeding chickens either young or old. It is so readily cleaned that all things considered it will be found much more convenient than feeding on the dirty ground, which is inviting disease to your flock. The trouble with a great many poultry keepers is that they think they can fly before they are really able to walk. Take time to learn the business, by and by the flying will come easy enough. As soon as the cockerels get old enough to pay attention to the pullets they begin fighting and the weaker birds are crowded out and don't get their share of food. For this reason the sexes should be separated so as to allow full and rapid development. There is no better way to warm a hen up in the morning than to scatter some warm wheat around in a good clean lilfer of straw and let them work hard for it. They will get right down to business as soon as it is fair, light and stick to it till they have finished their breakfast. By that time they are as warm as a toast. Fowls dislike a filthy house. As the days wax warmer and warmer one's efforts are apt to relax, but young fowls destined to take their In the show room must not be tated. They must have their feed dry, and water in abundance. FARM NOTES. There are instances on record where sheep have produced profitable fleeces of wool and one or two lambs each season for from four to ten years, but as a general rule when a ewe gets to be five years of age she is very likely to prove unprofitable. A heifer becomes a cow after she drops her first calf and begins giving milk—no matter at what age, and she remains a heifer until these maternal obligations are assumed. With darying, as with other lines of farming, the dairyman should familiarize himself as much as possible with every fact which can be brought to bear upon the quality of his product. Bacon is only the intermingling of fat and lean meat, and if the meat is grown along rapidly it will be more tender and palatable than if it is pinched until the lean is dry and tasteless. In all those portions of the country where dairying is a leading and distinctive feature, and other grains than corn are used as a growing and fattening ration the bacon hogs can be raised to advantage and profit. Upon the horse-collar depends much more than appears at first filance. The day-in-and-out efficiency of the team, its labor depends upon the proper kind and fitting of the collars used The man with a silo will be in a position to congratulate himself this winter and we urge every farmer to consider the erection of a silo this fall. No other means will provide so much palatable and nutritious feed from an acre of land. Cultivation as the plants develop requires not only care and skill, but forethought also. If heavy rains have beaten the soil into a hard mass and it is water soaked it may be necessary to go as deeply as possible without injuring the roots in order to aerate the ground properly. Once the calf is well started toward an early and profitable marketable maturity by liberal feeding and good care at this season of the year, there is little need of advising with regard to his future feeding care, as the owner's good sense will tell him that it will pay to continue to feed and care for him well. Give flower plants lots of room. It is quite possible to get a fair crop of cane after early oats. Underfeeding and overfeeding are both wasteful as is also feeding one article, of diet. A pig can be raised by the hand method as easily as a calf, if the same palms are taken with it. Pounds of meat or amount and quality of other products that an animal will provide are what count. If a sow proves a good breeder, there is no reason why she should not be kept as long as she produces strong pigs. To the intelligent corn grower a weedy field spells a shiftless farmer who is fooling with his chances of success. Do not allow any fruit to ripen on berry plants set this season. Premature fruit-bearing stunts the growth of the plants. The man who raises pigs ought to have a field of peas into whica they can be turned just before the peas become hard. The richest color of the cream is when it first rises to the surface, and if churned in that condition the butter will be yellow. You will have to spray with kerosene emulsion to reach the cabbage lice. Be sure to get it on the under side of the leaves. Corn has become a good crop, whether hogs are high or low, but it is not a good plant to plant more corn than can be well tended. Anyone who will knowingly sell milk from a diseased cow well deserves the epithet of criminal, for his act is nothing short of crime. To sell filthy milk or butter is scarcely less reprehensible. There is some difference in the cost of corn whether it is "hogged down" by sheep and lambs in the field, or high priced help husks it and hauls it to the station, and high priced railroads ship it to feeding gards. It is a law of nature that all plants must have a season of rest from active growth. It the tropics this is done in the dry season. No plant can be forced into continual growth without weakening it and finally killing it. Under no circumstances should anything be added to milk to prevent its souring. Such doings violate the law of both God and man. In darying, there are special breeds enough and reliable information enough, so there is no excuse for a man who goes it blind and blames luck and the weather for his failure. PERT PARAGRAPHS.

MOUND BAYOU, MISSISSIPPI, A GOOD TOWN Of the many interesting experiments that have been made in Negro-town building, Mound Bayou, Mississippi, is in all respects, the community that gives us the largest hopes. We mean no disparagement to other efforts. Mound Bayou is a town, a real live community, and it is now old enough to look back to its doubtful days. Filled with ambitious, industrious, thriving people, to the number of 1,200, to the visitor it gives every evidence of solid growth. The streets are laid off as if the founder of the town believed that some day it would become a city, and the buildings and residences are built in modern style. The people dress better than well, and the schools and churches are a credit not to the Negroes of Mound Bayou alone, but to Negroes, everywhere. It is the capital of a population of more than 3,000 people. Its railroad facilities are as good as any on the Valley line, and its commercial activity is beyond that of surrounding towns. It would be superfluous to mention its banking house, which is one of the widely known institutions of the south. Two years ago Andrew Carnegie gave the town a beautiful library building. The structure is something more than a reading room; it is the center of the social and intellectual life of the people, somewhat of a clearing house of their ambitions. The library is in need of books—books of every kind, religious books, books and standard histories. The Age suggests that the leading Negroes of each community in all sections, each send two good books to the library, in the care of Charles Banks, and in this way make a presentation of a library to the town, in the name of the race. Nowhere in the south is there a larger number of young people trying as hard to throw off ignorance of every kind than may be found in Mound Bayon. In respect of this, we may as well observe here that nowhere is the south are there wider or more inviting opportunities for solid men, business men, professional men, farmers and mechanics, than are offered in Mound Bayou. There community needs a good dentist. It needs a first-class undertaker, and an architect could locate there and enjoy a good and lucrative business within a forty mile territory in either direction. We have heard that a co-operative store is soon to be opened, but a shoe store would pay, and a harness maker will find much to do. A contractor with capital sufficient to operate a lumber yard would be kept busy from Clarksdale straight through to Merigold, and farmers in search of good land, excellent markets, and every freedom and privilege, will find Mound Bayou unexcelled as a home for their children and as a center for their products. The community has now in course of erection a $100,000 oil mill. There are four cotton gins, one saw mill and other factories in course of erection. In all the south there is no better farming land. The best cotton soil in a cotton country is to be found in Bolivar county where a bale to the acre is a common sight. This land offers an opportunity for an investment that will double its value in 25 years. There is need of capital to develop the resources of the territory of which Mound Bayou is the flourishing capital. In no community within the range of our acquaintance can there be found so many solid men as Mound Bayou may claim as citizens. There is not a talker among them; they are all doers of the word. Isiah T. Montgomery, who founded the community, Charles Banks, J. W. Francis, Mayor Cresswell and A. A. Cosey, and the men associated with them in the really great work they are doing, are each solid, progressive, careful men. Of such stuff are all real pioneers made Mound Bayou is more than we can tell, and in the coming years it FASHION NOTES. The general outline of the figure will still be the narrow silhouet. Skirts made with the walstband a couple of inches above the normal, so as to do away with the belt, are meeting with considerable favor. Raglan and peasant sleeves are seen on many of the smartest coats, but the regulation coat sleeve is in the lead. Lace trimmed and tucked blouses are popular. Handsome beaded bags show no signs of waning in popularity, but the ones done with tiny beads are the thing. All kinds of band trimmings will be seen on gowns this spring. Tunics will be worn the coming season, and will be fore popular than ever. The most notable change in spring suits is the shortening of the jacket length. The longest is 26-inches in length, but the 24-inch length is favored. Blouses drop a little over the girdle from the effects of the peasant sleeve. A sailor collar when made of lace is a pretty accessory to a dinner gown. Silk crepe draperies in the ancient Indian cashmere shawl patterns are new. Tan shoes are in great demand. Button and lace are about equally divided. Chinchilla, in its lovely tones of gray and black, was never more fashionable. Full length coats cut on straight lines will be worn the coming season. Handsome beaded bags show no will become the civic capital of southern Negroes. As regards its educational advantages, while the public schools and the Mound Bayou Normal are doing commendable work, what is needed there, and what has long been the need, as Mr. Montgomery has always pointed out, is an industrial school not a make-belleve school such as we have too many of in the south, but a well-equipped institution in which the trades and scientific farming would be emphasized. For only through these will come the economic emancipation for the people, and through them alone will the generation just emerging be able to hold what the fathers are building and improve upon their labors. Charles Banks, the banker and leader of his people in the state, will, we are sure, be glad to correspond with any person who may become interested in the town of Mound Bayou. We have been there, and know whereof we speak.—New York Age. SCRAPS. Miss A. L. McLane is the president of the Baltimore Association for the Promotion of University Education for women, which has just offered a fellowship of $500 for study at an American or an European university. Preference will be given to Maryland women and in exceptional instances the fellowship may be held two successive years by the same person. Contractors have gone to the Crow agency, just across the Colorado line in Montana to establish an electric light plant. The Crow Indians are among the most progressive red men in the United States. An American archaeologist thinks that the Mayas, who once inhabited America, had a civilization as far advanced as that of any early people except the Greeks. The dwellers in the jungles of Yucatan, Gautemala and Honduras are belled to be their descendants. A rich resident of Paris, with a view to checking the decline in the birth rate, has left under his will $1,000 to each head of a family in the neighborhood where he resides, who, having been married within the five years preceding his death, shall have five legitimate children living. Miss Mary E. Holmes, class of 1895, is the charman of the committee of alumnae in charge of the work of building a student building at Wellesley college. Miss Alice Browne, '05, the secretary, reports that $12,136 has already been raised toward the undertaking. There is also an undergraduate committee. Dr. A. W. Buell, who died at Mount Pleasant, Ia., recently, left instructions with Burlington undertakers that his body should be kept for from three to ten weeks and, then wrapped in asbestos before burial. Exports of aluminum from France during the first ten months of 1910 were 3,512 tons against 3,432 tons for the same period of 1909. Ostriches furnish one of the most important features in the industrial life of Cape Colony. Fabulous prices are paid for fancy pluckings from well known birds, while $5,000 has been paid for a single bird for stock purposes. Miss Mabel Macher, a graduate nurse until recently in charge of the operating room in the Eye and Ear infirmary of New York city, has gone o Caina to take the position of head nurse in the University of Pennsylvania Medical school at Canton. Miss Margo Lee Lewis, an assistant teacher in Mount Holyoke college last year, has gone to Seoul, Korea, where she expects to teach in the girls' school under an appointment by the Presbyterian board of missions. In conferring Baptismal or Christian names, there are three remarkable instances in Clay county, Indiana, a daughter in each of three families. They are: "Elzora Peleor Victoria Josephine," "Elizabeth, Mary, Henrietta, Lydia, May Belle," "Medith Alma Melva Mackaline Louise Josephine." Prof. Bailey Willis of the United States geological survey, who was commissioned to visit South America to persuade the principal governments there to bear a share of the expenses of a mammoth world man, has returned to New York. It may not be generally known that the term "Alma Mater" which is universally applied to colleges and universities where men received their scholastic training, is of purely Catholic origin. It had its course at the University of Bonn and drew its inspiration from the beautiful chiseled statue of the mother of Christ, known as the Alma Mater, placed over the principal portal of that celebrated seat of learning. The Chilean maritime province of Entre Rios has equipped two floating schools to enable the residents of its islands to obtain an education. The artificial silk industry is now assuming large proportions, the world's output being given at about 3,000,000 kilos per annum at the present rate of production, against 1,700,000 kilos in 1906, and 600,000 kilos Otto T. Fenn of Damascus, Pa., employed in the engineers' department of the New York Hippodrome, has invented a new airship which he calls the "bistep-plant," and when he completes a twelve-foot model, will fly from the roof of the Hippodrome building within the next month. He is building his airship himself in the basement of his home. Washington.—(Special.)—W. H. Lewis, the Negro assistant district attorney at Boston, may now take the oath of office as assistant attorney general at Washington, his commission, signed by President Taft, having been secured at the White House. The Senate had refused to act upon the nomination of Lewis, and his name may precipitate a controversy in the Senate. The department of justice, in which Lewis is named to succeed John L. Wilson, of Boston, has no information as to when the appointee will assume his duties. NO CHANCE FOR TROUBLE. When Trouble came to see him it never had a chance: He just took down his fiddle, an' hol- lered: One more dance!" He danced an' danced, Till break o' day, An' danced old Trouble Far away. For Trouble likes a dark sky—with just a ghostly moon, An' cannot stand a fiddle that hits a lively tune. An' so he took The dancin' way, An' Trouble said: "Good day! Good day!" —Frank L. Stanton, in The Atlanta Constitution. Saloons, gambling houses, cheap lodging houses are perils which beset the lives of young men. The constant drifting of young men in pool rooms and other dives looking for social fellowship breeds laziness, idleness and crime. Young men learn to gamble, drink and carouse of nights, because they do not keep their minds busy. The best way to guard against the vicious habits of this nature is to seek good association, attend church, read newspapers, magazines and good books.—Illinois Chronicle. Some people love their country only when bread and butter is to be above all rest and that is why we need to work for the training of others against such test. In every small town of the South the Negroes are found owning their homes. An ex ample of tails is Manatee; Fla. Among those who have recently bought homes in this place are Paul Anderson, William Dorsey and Orange Dockey. Curious Condensations The inner bark of the cotton tree is utilized by the inhabitants of Bahia for many purposes. It is a remarkably strong fibre, and a stop one-half inch in width will, without any preparation, suspend a weight of 50 to 100 pounds. A collapsible' berth that may be hung on the back of a car seat has been invented by a Californian for the benefit of infants on long railroad journeys. The pianist Paderwski is well known among his friends as a wit who has generally a ready answer even in day the United States alone produces 6,000,000 gallons.

Taylor ascended to the weather vane by means of the steeple-jack's ladder. Thoracograph is the name that has been given a machine which has been invented to draw diagrams of a person's chest movements during respiration. Four recent deaths from plague in a Suffolk village, were the first in England, from that disease, for nearly 250 years. Dissections of the human body are not yet allowed in China hence the demand for western medical works with blades. The traffic returns of the Manchester Ship Canal for 1919 are given as $2,704,484, an increase of $105,873 over 1909, and of $517,304 over 1905.

Times Primordial Instincts Remain Although Nature Has Refined Her Body and Touched Her Soul. The other day, as I was watching these worldly women file by with their handsome furs of sable, chinchilla, black or blue fox, one of them caught hers up with a gesture that made me start. Her gesture gave me instantly a vision of the far-off ancestress, who at once appeared before me, tall, strong and majestic, with a wild beast's fleece or skin over her splendid nudity. I saw her standing at the threshold of her cave watching for the return of the man. I gazed in a sort of stupor at this descendant. Nature has continued, her work of improvement through the long centuries and has arrived at this! Yes, she has refined the body of woman, given all kinds of shades to her soul, but within her are the primordial instincts still—jealousy, envy, ruse and cruel coquetry. Her winter garment is different; the wild beast's skin has become a beautiful fur, but, as formerly, so the irony of the gods has willed it, this is ornamental with tails, claws, little ferocious heads. And in spite of myself, in this elegant creature, taking her tea there and putting the dainties delicately between her painted lips, I could still distinguish the ancestress.—From "On the Bench," by Pierre de Couleur. ONE BIG JOKE. Tall Sophomore—O'Frat is making all kinds of money writing jokes. Fat Junior—Writing jokes? Tall Sophomore—Yes; in his letters home he tells his father he leads his class. WHEN FASHIONS CLASH. Mrs. Lastraze knocked at the door of Mrs. Faddles and hobbled into the hall. "Is Mrs. Faddles in?" she asked. "I believe so," said the maid and went in to see. Soon a voice called from the floor above. "Will you come up, darling?" Mrs. Lasterraze surveyed herself doubtedly in the hall mirror and re- plied: "Can't you come down, dearest?" "Not possibly," called Mrs. Faddles. "I'm trying on my new hat and it's too wide to pass down the stairs." "Never mind,, dear," answered Mrs. Lasterraze, preparing to leave. "I'll call again. My hobble is too narrow for me to think of attempting to climb up." CALIFORNIA GAME SEASON. A bill submitted by the California Sportsmen's Game Protective association was introduced in the assembly by E. J. D. Nolan of San Francisco. The bill cuts the season on ducks one month, giving local birds on marsh a chance to scatter and not be slaughtered on the baited ponds. Cottontail rabbits are protected under the bill and a closed season for rail is provided until November, 1912. The dove season is shortened and the bag limit reduced to 15. The quail bag limit is reduced to 12 and the duck bag limit to 15. Market hunting for ducks is prohibited and the hunter must ship game open and exposed.—Sacramento correspondence San Francisco Chronicle. HE GOT THE ROBBER. A Swiss traveler while journeying from Milan to Lucerne, had a thrilling adventure. On entering the car he found one man asleep, and he also settled to have a nap. Just before the entrance to the St. Gothard tunnel, the "sleeping" man sat up, pulled out a revolver, and carefully examined the face of the Swiss, who in terror kept his eyes closed. Satisfied, the stranger placed the receiver on the seat, and emptied the traveler's pockets of money and valuables. The Swiss traveler continued to "sleep" until the guard entered the compartment, when he informed the official of the robbery. The stranger was promptly arrested.

RESULTS OF A WRONG DIET English Writer Saya That Nearly Every Form of Disease Can Be Traced to Food. To sum up in a word, wrong diet furnishes the raw material for every disease. Without it they are not possible. It furnishes the means by which inherited predisposition develops into active disease. In its absence we are not vulnerable to infection and contagion. Its retention in the body in the form of foreign matter is the one real disease. For disease is the accumulations of foreign matter in one part or other of the body, and all the manifold names it bears serve merely to distinguish the different conditions arising from this common cause. The locality, character and state of these accumulations may give rise to the most varying symptoms, disordering the blood, retarding the changes of the tissues, clogging the joints, irritating the nerves and generally obstructing the bodily functions. Wrong diet is the underlying cause of consumption, rheumatism, cholera, epilepsy, cancer, bubonic and pneumonic plague, heart disease, measles, bronchitis, influenza, appendicitis, bad temper, melancholia, apoplexy, hysteria, cataract and arthritis, and is the commonest cause of suicide. DRIVING OUT PLANT SPIDERS Water is Best Remedy for Window Garden Despoiler, for it Dreads Moisture. In overheated, dry-atmosphered living rooms the red spider is sure to do more or less damage to the plants unless something is done to keep it in check. None of the emulsions, tobacco extracts or other applications advised for use in fighting plant enemies is of any use here. The best thing to use—the only thing that will be of benefit—is water—just plain, undoctored water. What the red spider dreads more than anything else is moisture. He will not stay where the air is kept moist if he can get away, and if he cannot get away he is unable to do much harm. Here is where the sprayer comes into play. See that your plants are thoroughly wet, all over, at least three times a week—once a day is better. Be sure that the moisture gets to the under side of the leaves, where the spider likes to hide away. Most persons are not aware of the presence of the tiny but terribly destructive creature, because it is unnoticeable unless one takes special pains to seek him out. But if they find that leaves on their plants are turning yellow and falling off, they will have good reason to suspect that the red spider is at the bottom of the trouble.

If so, she will glorify herself forever in the history of the Order. Each Odd Fellow in Georgia owes it to himself and his state to give every dollar he can for this great effort. The eyes of Odd Fellows all over this nation are upon you, and everybody is asking, "Will Georgial be able to do it?" I believe you will. I hope to see you do it; and to show that I am in earnest about wanting to see that building rise in Atlanta, I am sending you my check for $10 to help you put it up.
