VOLUME XXVIII Georgia State Industrial College Georgia State Industrial College COMMENCES ITS 22ND YEAR TUESDAY Prospects Bright for Successful Year—Attendance Promises to be Very Large— Speakers for Sunday Services The opening of the Georgia State Industrial College next week will undoubtedly be of much interest to the large number of friends of the institution who are aware of the good work it has done in the past. The influence of the school for good is not only confined to the city of Savannah where many of its graduates are, but throughout the state. Twelve trades are taught, besides these trades, courses in agriculture and dairying are given. The girls are taught sewing and domestic science. The literary department is prepared to give a good literary education including the Grammar, Normal and College Departments. The graduates of the institution stand well in all sections of the state where they have found work. The enrollment during the past year was quite large and an even larger enrollment is expected this year. Arrangement has already been made for the religious services of the school. On the opening Sunday, the sermon will be preached by the Rev. D. Augustine Reid; on the second Sunday by Rt. Rev. Richard Bright; on the third Sunday by the Rev. T. D. Ellis; on the fourth Sunday by the Rev. W. T. Dakin. These are among the ablest ministers of the colored and also the white race. During the year there will be a number of interesting and valuable lectures by able men. The athletics of the institution will be looked after very carefully. Already Captain Cherey has a number of engagements for the football field. This school year gives promise of being among the most interesting of our series of interesting years. School will open on Tuesday, October first. Communication. Dear Sir:— Please allow us space in your valuable paper to state to the reading public that the Mount Zion Baptist church has had very little trouble during its existence, and the case now in court brought to restrain the Pastor of this church and some of its Trustees from selling the church property on West Broad St., was brought in order to keep the said church from getting into financial difficulties. Rev. McD. Spencer, the pastor, who is not a member of the church, but is hired by the church to preach, has taken upon himself the proposition of selling the church property at a grossly inadequate price, and purchasing another piece of property on which to build another church building, which will put the Mt. Zion Baptist church in debt something like six thousand dollars. He made contracts to do this without authority from the congregation of the church and without the congregation of the church knowing anything about it until the proposed sale and purchased leaked out through the real estate office with which he was doing business and was published in the Savannah Morning News of September 8th. Since Rev. Spencer has been the pastor of our church he has tried to do away with the Constitution and By-Laws of the church, tried to run the church to suit himself, and allowed none of the members to say anything in opposition to his schemes. When any of the congregation would seek to explain to the membership their opposition to the pastor's schemes Rev. Spencer would either declare him out of order or sing the doxology. This he did last Tuesday night when Deacon Lyons sought to explain these transactions. We have the greatest reason for those chosen of God to preach, we hate to impugn any false motives to Rev. Spencer, but we cannot see why he wishes to sell the West Broad Street property of the The Savannah Tribune TO THE COLORED CITIZENS OF SAYANNAH Chairman of Board of Curators Makes Appeal You have been kept well informed as to our progress in securing the site for the Colored Carnegie Library. As all things do, the time to talk has come to an end. The time for promises unfulfilled is about over. Now the bare fact confronts us. On the 6th of October the site for the library has got to be paid for or we lose it. An option to my certain knowledge has been secured three separate times, the third and last one maturing October 6th, at which time the money must be paid or we lose the lot and lose what we have paid. The above are the facts in the case. If we lose it you cannot escape your share of the humiliation that awaits the Negroes of Savannah in this matter. Letters have been written to churches, to leading men, various lodges and societies, and subscriptions have been sought and secured and now once for all they must be paid. You know it is your duty to give something. Now let the world see that you make good your promises and send or give this money to pay for this lot to any one of the curators and it will surely be devoted to the purchase for which you give it. This is my last reminder. It is up to you. Asbury M. E. Church. Gwinnett Street West of West Baoad. Sunday services 11 a.m. and 8:30 p. m. Sunday School 4 p.m. Glass meet- ing Tuesday nights. Epworth League Thursday nights. The Afro-American Press. [Chicago Fellowship Press.] The Herald is in receipt of much interesting matter from Washington City this week relative to President Taft's goodness to the Negro in the way of appointments, and asking its insertion in these columns. This communication is signed "The Afro-American Press." There are three reasons why The Herald does not avail itself of this courtesy. The first is, that no responsible name is signed to either communication. We do not print matter unless the name of some responsible person is attached. Secondly, while the Herald believes in the Republican party, it believes that its bid for the Negro vote should be based on higher ground than a list of the jobs and the salaries therefor, which Negroes hold under President Taft. Jobs are all right in their places but they avail but little if the bulk of the race is to remain disfranchised, peonized, lynched and Jim Crowed. What the race wants to know is "What will the Republican party do to remove these evils, if the Negro helps to put it back into power?" Finally, the Republican party managels have made a mistake if they hope to use the columns of the Negro press for campaign purposes by simply sending out printed matter signed in any such mythical way. The Negro editor who would permit his or her columns to be used in such way has neither intelligence nor influence that would be of the least benefit to the party in the fight before it. church for several thousand dollars less than it is worth on the market and place the church six thousand or more dollars in debt to get another church. Nor can we see any pure motive in the said pastor keeping the congregation of the church in the dark as to his actions in this matter. We are acting for what we consider the best interests of the church, we have no selfish motives and expect to get nothing out of the matter. We believe we now have a large majority of the church with us, and we are sure that if the whole congregation knew all the ins and outs of the transactions for the sale of this property and the purchase of other property that all of the congregation would be with us. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for this valuable space, we are, Very respectfully, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 1912 Catholic Schools For Colored Children BEGIN MONDAY-FOUR WELL WELL EQUIPPED SCHOOLS Many Students to Attend Steady Growth of Catholic Schools in City-Teachers at Each School. On Monday morning, Sept. 30, four schools under Catholic management will open for colored children in Savannah. They are located in various districts, and thus they afford school facilities to many a child that would be without any education, if it could not attend the Catholic school. The Catholic Priests spare no trouble and no expense in order to bring their schools up to a high standard. Not only is a solid secular education guaranteed in those schools, but also a good moral training is given to the children. Whilst all religion is eliminated from the public schools, half an hour is set aside in the Catholic schools, during which the great principles of Christianity and of morality are taught and thus the children are better prepared for the battle of life. Children of all religious denominations are admitted, and their religion is not interfered with. But every pupil must learn the principles of Christian doctrine and a short summary of Bible History. A small tuition is charged, namely, 5 cents a week in the kindergarten and 10 cents in the various grades. This is very little indeed when we consider the great expenses incurred by the equipping and maintaining of the schools. The four schools in Savannah are: St. Benedict's School East Broad and Gordon streets, with 8 grades and 4 Franciscan Sisters as teachers. St. Mary's School on Thirty-sixth and Harden streets (a splendid school building with all modern equipments) with 5 grades and three teachers: Miss Gertrude Davis, Miss Coletta Greene, and Miss Carrie Elliott, St. Augustine's School at Springfield Terrace, near the water works, with Miss Percy May Tweedy as teacher. St. Antony's School, West Savannah, with Miss Eliza Rankin and Miss Lucile Brown as teachers. Besides those schools in Savannah, there is also a Catholic school at Augusta on Marbury street where two Franciscan Sisters teach; at Atlanta a grand new school called the Archbishop Ryan Memorial School on the North Boulevard; and at Macon St. Peter Claver School, Vineville, where the Sisters of Mercy teach. All the schools are a splendid proof of the great work of generosity and devotedness, which the Catholics are accomplishing in the State of Georgia for the education of the colored children in spite of much prejudice which still is existing among many non-Catholics. "Over Home" News, Beaufort, South Carolina. Miss Jestine Mitchell left Monday for Augusta, Ga., where she will enter Paine College. Master Johnny Singleton left on Tuesday of last week for Augusta. Ga., to attend Paine College. The many friends of Mr. Geo. Moody, Jr., will be glad to see him out again after several days down with the fever. Miss Geneva Fisher returned home on Sunday afternoon from Savannah, where she has been spending the summer. Miss Fisher will resume her studies at the public school. Mr. Summers, mail clerk on the C. & W. C. railroad between Port Royal and Augusta, spent Sunday in the city. The many friends of Mr. J. S. Blocker will be glad to see him out again after having been sick for several days. Mr. Matthew McCall who has been spending the past week in Savannah, returned on Monday. Mrs. Herinia Perry died on last Friday at noon. She was about 28 years of age, and was only sick for a short time. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. D. W. Bythewood on Saturday morning at the home on Duke street. She was laid to rest in the Sisters of Mercy cemetery. Pluto Company held its annual collation on Tuesday night of last [Continued on Park Four] Opening Services at New St. Philip's Church LAST SUNDAY VERY IMPRESSIVE THROUGH OUT Large Crowds Out Regardless of Inclement Weather—Over Nineteen Hundred Dollars Realized From Rally—Bishop Flipper and Other Distinguished Visitors Present. The opening services on last Sunday at the New St. Philip church, West Broad and Charles streets, were very impressively carried out. A large crowd was out at all of the services; that of the evening being particularly well attended. The inclement weather was the cause of hundreds being kept away from the services who for weeks had been making preparations to be present at the opening services in the new church. However, even in the face of the bad weather the attendance was very large and at night the auditorium was packed, many persons being compelled to be contented with standing room on account of the galleries not having heen completed. The morning and evening sermons were preached by Bishop J. S. Flipper who came to the city especially for these services. His discourses were full of animation and were thoroughly appreciated. There were many distinguished out of town ministers who were present at the services throughout the day and spoke at the platform service which was held in the afternoon. The reports from the rally which has been going on for some time were heard at the evening service. Much interest was manifested as the various reports were made. The total sum raised was something over nineteen hundred dollars. The church is still incomplete and it is estimated that it will be sixty days before all the work will be finished. Tenacity of Colored Promoters Rewarded. When the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, a colored company gets finally organized and ready to do business, it will likely have a record for economy of organization expenses never before equalled. The progress has been slow, largely because it has been a pioneer proposition and partially because banking accommodations have been less liberal to these promoters than they would have been on identically the same plans with white promoters. The same amount of work, directed with the same degree of intelligence that has characterized this development work, a plan not superior to this plan and with a field far less inviting and certainly with no greater possibilities, if put forth by white men would have met with prompt and complete success. These colored men are pioneers and in addition to overcoming the natural inertia, of an undertaking of this magnitude, they must overcome skepticism, misinformation and no information at all, not to mention open direct opposition. The men behind the company should succeed if for no other reason than that they deserve it and have what appears to be a safe, sound proposition, and are promoting it with a minimum of expense--The Southeastern Underwriter. The above excerpt is clipped from the Southeastern Underwriter a white insurance journal, and is of much value to the race, as it explains its advancement along economic lines. Under the leadership of H. E. Perry the Negroes of the South hard been struggling quite a while to establish an old line legal reserve insurance company under the name of the Standard Life. The effort of these progressive Negroes challenges the attention of the insurance world, and the entire country is waiting with the greatest interest for Mr. Perry's announcement that the company is ready for business. The company is getting along well and in a very short time it will qualify by placing $100,000 in securities with the insurance commissioners and will be ready for business The Standard Life promises to be the best paying proposition ever launched by Negro business men The Independent congratulates its promoters for its success, and thanks The Southeastern Underwriter for the attention and prom inence given this Negro enterprise. Atlantas Independent. SEABROOK'S UNDERTAKING ESTABLISHMENT Moves Into Its New Ten Theus- and Dollar Building The new building of Capt. E. Seabrook, northeast corner of Minis and West Broad streets, which has been in course of construction for about two months is now within but a few days of completion. The undertaking establishment, of which Capt. Seabrook is proprietor, began moving into the new structure on Wednesday and by the first of October the entire business will be found in the new quarters. The new building has been erected at an approximate cost of ten thousand dollars and is one of the finest in the city owned by a Negro. It is a red pressed brick structure, three stories high and occupies a space thirty-seven feet by one hundred. The front of the ground floor is occupied by the office, trimming room, embalming room and a chapel, while in the rear of this floor are stables for fifteen horses. On the second floor are the proprietor's apartments, consisting of seven rooms elegantly furnished, and in the rear a large carriage room. An elevator for carriage use extends from the first to the second floor. The third floor is divided into two beautiful lodge rooms, well lighted and well ventilated. B. M. C. Echoes. One of the most interesting columns in any newspaper is the one by the "Sage of the Potomac," published each week in The Washington Bee. The following excerpt from this trenchant writer is here annexed and it makes quite interesting reading: "Well, I see the colored Odd Fellows remain true to the name—the they are truly odd fellows—Last week they journeyed all the way down to Link Johnson's home, Atlanta, to hold a B. M. C., and just as they did over to Baltimore two years ago, broke up in a row. Slaughter, the little fighting bantam, threw out all the Ben Davis, Bill Houston and Link Johnson ballast that he had been carrying in his balloon, and aeroplanned down to Atlanta to go 'agin' his old cronies. The week before he left he didn't do a thing but burned his bridges behind him, made a thirteen inch gun out of the Odd Fellows Journal, and poured volley after volley into the Davis-Houston-Johnson breastworks. The funny thing about it, so I have been told in high secret circles, that they never figured that Slaughter would even get in the 100 to one shot class, But don't you know that little sawed-off and hammered down bunch of energy didn't do a thing but beat the bunch out. I have heard some funny things since the B. M. C. fizzled out. Our bon mot is that they are giving Link Johnson a mild dose of knockafrass because when he was in the chair he didn't run the meeting according to Hoyle. Ed. Morris, they tell me, was too smooth for all the Supreme Court judges, and just put them to sleep with fine mueuvering, while little old Slaughter, who was a sort of "despised Jew" to the machine bunch, just hopped about everywhere, and swaued out the gun every time Morris fired. A week ago it was odds on the Davis-Houston-Johnson combine with no takers. Now its odds on the Morris-Slaughter combine, with no takers. I saw Harry Cummings over in Baltimore this week, and Harry looked like the judge at Hillsville, Va., right after the Allen boys shot up the court—he was next door to non compos mentus, what ever that is. Harry, as Attorney-General, was supposed to be the great battling ram that was to hold the opposition in check with law. Harry, they tell me, is now figuring how to hedge. I haven't seen Link Johnson yet; but I heard a close friend of his say that Link, since his return, is like that historical boy who had nothing to say after he furnished his mother an opportunity to clean up something. Slaughter, and his man Friday—quiet, easy-going John Goins—have just been smiling to each other, back and forth, ever since their return, and every once in a while Slaughter says to Goins, John, didn't we skin 'em? "Sure did," answers John, "Come have one on me." Then when they have finished a delicious mint julep, Goins will say to Slaughter. NUMBER 2 Public Schools Open Tuesday CARDS OF ADMISSION WILL BE ISSUED MONDAY MORNING New School to Accommodate About Two Hundred and Fifty—To Have Only Primary Grades—Usual Demand For Seats The public schools of the city will open Tuesday morning with the usual stir and hustle of the little ones, who for nine months will make the streets of the city lively with their playful pranks as they go to and from school. Cards of admission will be issued on Monday morning from 9 to 1 p. m. The customary rush to get their children in school will of course be experienced by parents, with the usual number of disappointments, as the demand for admission this year will equal, if not surpass that of former years. While it is true that the opening of the Haven Home property on Henry street, west, as a public school will provide additional room for a limited number of children who wish to enter the first, second and third grades, yet the possibilities of getting admission into the grades above these are practically very slight. The new school, which will be composed of two first, two second grades and one third grade, will make provision for about two hundred and fifty children. The text books to be used are about the same as last year and, as in former years, the rule concerning vaccination will be rigidly enforced. Republican Candidate For Congress. Last week the Republican District Committee met in this city to reorganize and nominate a candidate for Congress. A subcommittee with Captain W. D. Armstrong as chairman, was appointed to select such a candidate. After looking carefully over the field, the committee decided to nominate Mr. E. J. Seymour, who is connected with the posse office. A strong letter was sent Mr. Seymour by Capt. Armstrong and it is understood that he will accept the nomination. In that event the regulars will inaugurate an active campaign throughout the district and rally the Republicans to active duty. Corner Stone Laying. The Corner stone of St. Mary's Primitive Baptist Church, Rev. S. T. Shephard pastor, near the Water Works on Duffy street, near Styles Avenue, will be laid tomorrow. The exercises will commence at 11:30 a.m. At 12 o'clock noon the sermons will be preached by Elders Walton and C. B. Bartley. The corner stone will be laid under the auspices of the Grand United Order of Archery The public is cordially invited to attend these services. "Say, Henry, didn't we skin em?" "Sure," responds Slaughter, "come take one on me." Ben Davis, they say, is writing a book, entitled "How Figures Can Lie," and Houston and Link Johnson, when they meet just look at each other in a sad, reflective sort of a way, and pathetically exclaim, in unison, in the language of Count Sebaskalahoff after the Jays had put the Moscow contingent out, "Ain't it h—l? They say they are going to call another meeting of the B, M.C. at the end of sixty days and race through the election of Ben Davis, and his cohorts, but I am betting Dr. Williston's speedometer against Dr. Cabiness' speed record, which is four miles in four hours, that that meeting will never be held, and if it does, the courts will decide the case. But mebbe Jim Needham ain't treating himself own ten seconds over the fizzle. The plank had been greased for Jim to walk, and he had started on his journey with all the calmness of the Duke'd Aubre when he went to the guillotine. If Henry Slaughter happens to receive a case of wet goods consigned to him-from Philadelphia without the name of the consignee, he can just be satisfied that it's from Jim Needham, in appreciation of his (Slaughter's) doing the desperate desmond act—snatching him from the cage containing the three fierce nubian lions—Davis, Houston and Johnson." MEXICAN CHILD APPEALS TO TAFT · Begs That Her Father Be Not Given to Madero. "PAPA·IS NOT A MURDERER" Rebellion Is Weakening—The Various Generals No Longer Operating Under Any Common Leadership. Los Angeles. — Fearful that her grandfather will fall into the hands of President Madero, of Mexico, which, according to her reasoning, would mean his death. Elena Orozco, the seven-year-old daughter of General Pascual Orozco, Jr., leader of the revolutionists in Northern Mexico, and granddaughter of Pascual Orozco, Sr., now under arrest at Marfa, Tex., sent this letter to President Taft: "Dear Mr President Taft: My papa is not a murderer. He is a brave soldier fighting for his country. Please don't let the American soldiers give my grandfather to Mr. Madero, for Mr. Madero would shoot him and that would just kill poor grandma." Mrs. Orozco, mother of General Orozco, is seriously ill from nervous breakdown at the Orozco home here. THE REBELLION WEAKENS. Report From U. S. Army Officers On Mexican Conditions. Washington.—Further evidence of the weakening of the Orozoo rebellion is conveyed to the State and War Departments in the latest reports from army officers and consuls of the movements of the various rebel leaders operating in the north of Mexico. These movements are so irresolute and indeterminate of purpose as to satisfy the officials that no longer are the various generals acting under any common leadership. Officials here say the reports show that nowhere do the rebels feel disposed to meet the government forces in action except where they can attack some small town or mining camp garrisoned by a force very much smaller than their own. It is expected that this sort of warfare may be kept up for several weeks or even months in view of the superior mobility of the well mounted rebels, who are living on the country and free from heavy equipment or artillery. Col. Pasqual Orozco, Sr., and other rebel officers captured by Captain Mitchell at Presidlo, Texas, have been turned over to the United States civil authorities at Marfa. Tampico, Mexico. — The United States cruiser Des Moines, Commander Hughes, arrived in port. The cruiser saluted with 21 guns, which was answered by the shore battery. Visits were exchanged during the day by officers of the cruiser and city officials. The Des Moines will proceed to Vera Cruz, Coatzacoalcos, Frontera and Progreso. Sawed Way Out Of Jail. Douglas, Ariz.—Col. Ramon Vasquez and Capt. Theodore Rodriguez, held here for conspiracy to violate the neutrality law, sawed their way out of jail here. They were arrested here last July for alleged participation in the so-called Vasquez-Gomez conspiracy and were to have been taken to El Paso to stand trial Soldiers Killed In Wreck. Mexico City.—Three burros, which refused to be frightened off the track by the engine's whistle, caused the derailment of a northbound troops train on the Mexican Central, near Torreon Eleven soldiers were killed and 47 hurt. The dead and injured were taken to Torreon. DAMBUILDER'S CONFESSION. Admits His Mistake In Material For the Foundation. Washington—A frank admission that a fault in his plans caused the dam at Austin, Pa., to collapse last September, carrying death and destruction of property in its wake, was made to the New England Waterworks Association, in convention at Congress Hall, by T. Chalkey Hatton, of Wilmington, Del., who designed the dam. Mr. Hatton attributed the failure of the dam to the fact that he had relied upon the imperviousness of the rock foundation in carrying out its construction. He also stated he was limited in expenditures for the dam construction to $85,000. He urged the need of a state dam inspector, to pass upon all plans for dams before they are constructed. MRS. GRACE WANTS DIVORCE. Acquitted Of Shooting Husband, Institutes Proceedings. Philadelphia.—Mrs. Daisy Ulrich Ople Grace, who was recently acquitted in Atlanta, Ga., of the charge of shooting her husband, Eugene Grace, instituted proceedings in Common Pleas Court here for divorce. She charges cruel and barbarous treatment. A master will be appointed by the court to take testimony. SUMMER TIME FALL TIME MARCH OF THE COAL MEN SEE HOW YOU LIKE THIS ONE THAT LAST ONE WAS ROTTEN! WAY OUT OF TUNE!! U. S. SAILORS ARE FIRED ON BY MOB Marines Rushed to Scene Prevent Bloodshed. EXCITEMENT IN BLUEFIELDS Strong Anti-American Feeling Manifest Throughout Country. Marines Sent to Bluefields, Nicaragua. — American sailors from the gunboat Tacoma were fired upon on the streets here Sunday night during an anti-American demonstration, incident to the celebration of the anniversary of Central American independence. A mob of excited Nicaraguans was formed immediately and for a moment bloodshed was threatened. Prompt action by Lieutenant Lowell, in command of the landing force of marines, undoubtedly prevented more serious results. He rushed the marines to the scene of the trouble and dispersed the mob. The entire force of Americans patrolled the streets of the city throughout the night, and prevented the assembling of natives in groups. The sailors who were fired upon by unknown Nicaraguans were not hurt. Quiet prevails but it is realized that the situation remains critical. A strong anti-American feeling exists here and in other parts of Nicaragua and the action of the mob Sunday night did not come altogether unexpectedly. Articles denunciatory of Ame.ricans have poured into the local newspapers. Two weeks ago the authorities here arrested three men suspected of revolutionary plotting and sent them as prisoners to Corn Island. The prisoners, Julio Monterrey, Onofro Sandoval and Joaquin Estrada, denied their connection with an anti-government conspiracy. The anti-American agitators have persistently circulated the statement that Nicaragua ultimately would be forced by the United States government to bear the expense of maintaining marines in this country. Washington. — American marines, under the command of Major Smedley Butler, are marching to the rescue of a number of French, American and native girls imprisoned in a girls' school in Granada, Nicaragua, according to dispatches to the Navy Department. Word reached Minister Weltzel that the girls are in danger of starvation, the rebels having surrounded" the school and none of the occupants being able to get out to secure food. He at once requested Rear Admiral Southern, commanding the American forces in Nicaragua, to dispatch marines to the aid of the imprisoned women. POLLUTED OYSTER BEDS. Typhoid in Long Island and Potomac River Oyster. Washington.—Jamaica Bay, L. I., and the Potomac River, 75 miles down from Washington, both are polluted by typhoid germs, according to the Department of Agriculture's declaration. Acting Secretary Hays issued a statement saying the Department's investigators had traced typhoid to oyster beds and had begun a survey of the great oyster fields to determine how far the pollution extends. He suggested state policing of oyster beds and action by government authorities to insure purification of city sewerage. MAN KILLS SWEETHEART. Fires Bullet Into His Own Brain After the Crime. Wilkes-Barre, Pa.—Frank Savage, aged 27, of this city, shot and killed Margaret Kresge, 22, at her home, near White Haven. After he learned she was dead Savage sent a bullet through his own brain, killing himself instantly. Her refusal to marry him is believed to have been responsible for Savage's act. UNCLE SAM WARNS LATIN AMERICA United States Vigorous Note to Nicaragua. TO FOSTER FREE ELECTIONS. The United States Will Contribute In All Appropriate Ways To The Restoration of Lawful Government in Nicaragua. Washington—The policy of the United States in its relation to revolution-torn neighbors in Central America and the West Indies is clearly defined in an instruction from the State Department embodied in a note presented by Minister Weitzel to the Nicaraguan government, the text of which was made public by Acting Secretary of State Huntington Wilson. The communication is expected to create a profound sensation in Latin America, for, while it was addressed to Nicaragua, it will be recognized as a general warning. America's purpose, the instruction declares, is to foster true constitutional government and free elections, and to this end strong moral support will be given to established governments against revolutions based, upon the selfish designs of would-be despots and not upon any principle or popular demand. Force will be used, if necessary, in maintaining free communications with and to protect American ministers and legations. This policy already has been adopted in Santo Domingo, Panama and Honduras. Minister Weitzel was directed to present his instruction officially to the Nicaraguan government and unofficially to the revolutionists in that country and to make it public as an authorized declaration of policy. The instruction in part follows. "The policy of the government of the United States in the present Nicaraguan disturbances is to take the necessary measures for an adequate legation guard at Managua, to keep open communications and to protect American life and property. "In discountening Zelaya, whose regime of barbarity and corruption was ended by the Nicaraguan nation after a bloody war, the government of the United States opposed, not only the individual, but the system, and this government could not countenance any movement to restore the same destructive regime. The government of the United States will, therefore, discountenance any revival of Zelayism and will lend its strong moral support to the cause of legally constituted good government for the benefit of the people of Nicaragua, whom it has long sought to aid in their just aspiration toward peace and prosperity under constitutional and orderly government. "Under the Washington conventions, the United States has a moral mandate to exert its influence for the preservation of the general peace of Central America, which is seriously menaced by the present uprising and to this end in the strict enforcement of the Washington conventions and loyal support of their aims and purposes all the Central American republics will find means of valuable cooperation." 18 SMALLPOX DEATHS 230 Persons Vaccinated In Pittsburgh In Day. Pittsburgh.—The deaths from smallpox here now total 18. Seventy-nine smallpox patients have been admitted to the municipal hospital. HANG GOVERNOR IN EFFIGY. Arkansas Executive Rebuked For Pardon Of Negro. Little Rock, Ark.—Gov. George W. Donaghey was hanged in effigy here. The dummy hore two large placards, both of which read: "George W. Donaghey, nigger lover." The cause for the hanging of the Governor in effigy was his pardoning of Robert Armstrong, a negro, who was twice convicted and sentenced to hang for criminally assaulting a trained nurse. MANY MINERS OUT ON STRIKE Deputy Sheriffs Fired Upon From Breastworks. FOREIGNERS START TROUBLE. Governor Spry Abandons a Campaign Tour To Investigate Situation. Miners Demanded Increase. Bingham, Utah.—Bullets greeted 35 deputy sheriffs who attempted to draw the fires under the boilers of the great copper mines here Wednesday. Fully 200 shots were fired from behind breastworks they had thrown up. Striking miners who quit work because the Utah Copper Company and several other concerns refused them an increase in wages fired upon the officers and drove them from the mine works. None was injured. Earlier in the day, however, while armed strike pickets stood guard at the approaches of the various properties, firing shots into the air, one of their number was wounded by Theodore Schweitzer, a deputy. The deputy ordered the picket to cease firing. Upon his refusal Schweitzer shot the miner in the wrist. Only one of the great copper mines here—that of the Utah Apex Mining Company—continued operations. The company signed a contract with the miners a few days ago. The Great Utah Copper, one of the most productive copper mines of the world, the Utah Consolidated, United States, Bingham-New Haven, Ohio Copper, Bingham mines and a score of lesser mines, the Bingham and Garfield Railway and the ore traffic on the Copper Belt branch of the Rio Grande Railway were closed tightly. Four thousand men, mostly foreigners, were idle and almost every idle man bore a weapon of some sort. They gathered in sulky little groups discussing their grievances. Following a conference with mine officials, Sheriff Sharp, of Salt Lake county, wired Governor Spry that his force of deputies could not handle the situation. The Governor abandoned a speaking tour and hurried to Salt Lake City to make a personal investigation of the situation. All saloons have been closed by the order of Sheriff Sharp. The Bingham miners made an informal demand several weeks ago for a flat increase of wages in all departments of 50 cents a day. On September 1 the Utah Copper Company announced a horizontal increase of 25 cents a day for all labor and the other employers adopted the same scale. This was not satisfactory to a majority of the men and agitation for the full 50-cent raise continued. Ten days ago a strike vote carried overwhelmingly. President Charles H. Moyer, of the Western Federation of Miners, came here and urged that diplomacy be exhausted before the declaration of a strike. However, the Greeks, Austrians, Italians, Japanese and Bulgarians, who largely outnumbered the American miners, were insistent upon a walkout. The Finns and Americans in the union are said to have stood with Mr. Moyer, but when they found themselves outnumbered 10 to 1 they joined the majority in voting for the strike. DRIVEN TO SUICIDE. Geo. C. Morrison Feared One Mistake Would Wreck His Hopes. Baltimore. — George C. Morrison, president of the Title Guarantee and Trust Company and vice-president of the Baltimore Trust Company, committed suicide sometime Monday night at the Baltimore Athletic Club by inhaling gas. He wrote five letters, in one of which he explained, the cause of his act. His concluding sentence in this letter was: "I am answerable only to my God. He knows whether it was just for the self-denying work of years to be set at naught by a yellow newspaper, against which there is no defense." His reference to "a yellow newspaper" was called forth by the insinuations and innuendoes of a Baltimore afternoon newspaper because of his connection with racing in Harford, his home county. In a recent explanatory statement Governor Goldsborough said he had signed the Harford County Racing Commission Bill on representations by Mr. Morrison, S. A. Williams and J. Alexis Shriver. Mr. Morrison had no idea when the bill was signed that a track would be built at Havre de Grace. Mr. Morrison was a native of Harford county and a son of F. D. Morrison, late superintendent of the Maryland School for the Blind. GAYNOR SUED FOR $100,000. Libel Charged Against Him by Alderman Curran. New York. — Mayor Gaynor was served with a summons in a $100,000 libel suit brought against him by Alderman Curran, chairman of the aldermanic committee investigating graft in the police department. Curran alleges that the Mayor made remarks derogatory to his character in connection with the investigation. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS A negro boy in Canton, Texas, has proved himself a real hero, and there are two happy parents in the vicinity of the little town who feel that they can never pay the debt of gratitude they owe him for the rescue of their child. Little Calvin Stepp, a child of three years, fell into a sixty-foot well. It was dry and had been abandoned, but was insecurely covered. Owing to the fact that the well was very narrow (13 inches in diameter), the child struck from side to side, breaking the force of the fall. Strange as it may seem, the little one was unharmed. Its voice could be heard calling: "Tome dit me out!" The mother insisted on being lowered into the well, and made a desperate effort to descend, but her shoulders could not be forced through the narrow opening. For two hours or more fruitless attempts at rescue continued, when Elbert Gray, a thirteen-year-old negro lad, arrived at the well. "I'll go down," he said. A rope was fastened about him, and he was lowered to the bottom of the well. He grasped the child by the sleeves of its dress and the two were raised forty feet, when the cloth tore apart, and the child fell to the bottom again. The brave negro boy's head was bruised and bleeding when he was drawn to the top, but he was eager to try again. A loop was fastened about his ankles and he was lowcured into the well head down. He carried a rope with which he made a noose under the baby's arms. Both were then drawn to the top, neither very much injured. Cheers from the crowd and tearful thanks from the parents greeted the negro and $25 was raised for him on the spot and a much larger sum was given him in town.—Grit. Negotiations are under way for the formation, of a business alliance between American negroes and the natives of the Gold Coast, West Africa. Charles W. Chappelle, known both in New York and Pittsburgh, is at the head of the project, and has interested thirty-two colored men of Pittsburgh and two in New York. Mr. Chappelle returned from the Gold Coast a few weeks ago, after spending several months investigating the business possibilities of that country. While there he says he made contracts with eighty-two chiefs, who will supply him with gold, cocoa, mahogany and rubber. The American negroes and natives are also organizing the African Central railroad and the West Coast Steam and Harbor company. These two transportation concerns will develop business for 440 miles in West Africa. While in New York a few days ago Mr. Chappelle, accompanied by E. M. Askworm, a native of the Gold Coast, visited the Astoria veneering mill, at Astoria, L. L., and made arrangements to furnish the mill with many thousand feet of mahogany. No company has been formed and no stock is to be put on the market, each American putting in a certain amount, which will be used in developing the natural resources of the Gold Coast in conjunction with the natives. Miss I. M. Carpenter has been appointed soliciting agent of the freight department of the Pere Marquette-Lehigh Valley railroad, with headquarters at Davenport. Miss Dalsey Odin was made division agent on the Burlington, at Rock Island, about a month ago. Both women are experts in the kind of work they will do. In the District of Columbia the statement shows that there were 94,446 blacks and 32,952 mulattoes in 1910, as against 75,572 blacks and 19,836 mulattoes in 1890. The growth of the number of mulattoes does not imply an increasing intermixture between whites and blacks, since children born of marriages between blacks and mulattoes would be mulattoes, according to the census definition. It will be seen that Washington has 127,398 Negroes, the Negro population forming more than one-third of the total population. The per cent increase of mulattoes over the number in 1900 is about equal to the per cent increase that is shown by the "blacks" for the same period. Savannah, Ga., is to have a four-story hotel by and for colored people on the European plan. A lunch counter, buffet service at any hour and, roof garden will be some of the features. No married man in Vienna is allowed to go up in a balloon without the formal consent of his wife and children. Colored men and women, be loyal to your enterprises; not only with your mouths but with your pocket-books; for it is money which makes the mare go. Often we hear some thoughtless darkey talking about having-been bitten by patronizing their own race, and giving that as a reason for not bestowing further patronage. These same people have also been bitten by whites, and will be bitten again if they stay on earth. Adopt the wise course. Let by-gones be by-gones. Do like other intelligent people—patronize your own race. Robert R. Church, Sr., one of the wealthiest citizens in Memphis and considered the wealthiest Negro in the south, died at his late residence, 284 Lauderdale street, Memphis, Tenn. The deceased, who was 74 years old, had been ill eighteen months. He retired from business last October and was succeeded by Robert R. Church, Jr. The Memphis Commercial Appeal gives the following account of Mr. Church's career: "The singular circumstance of a Negro, born a slave, rising from cabin boy on a Mississippi river steamboat to the mastery of a fortune estimated at a million dollars made him a conspicuous character, and the news of his death was received all over the city with expressions of interest and enterprise. Church's life reads like a page born from fiction. He came to Memphis years ago. Thrift and industry uncommonly marked, coupled with a keen insight and keen business ability, made him quickly recognized as a man of uncommon business ability. His word was as good as his bond. He came to Memphis from Holly Springs, Miss. For a while he worked around the livery stables here and later he went into the saloon business. Here he got his start. His savings were gradually invested in real estate. One purchase followed another. He saw with a prophetic eye a great city, and he knew that some day his property would be valuable. He rarely if ever sold. Conservative estimates are that he left between 200 and 300 houses in various parts of Memphis. The bulk of them are in the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth wards. According to one authority, his monthly income from his rentals amounted to $6,000 alone. He owned a subdivision of 135 acres on the Raleigh car line east of Memphis and was founder and first president of the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company, the first Negro financial institution of the city. Church's Park on Beale avenue is also his property. Though no unusual deeds of charity or munificence are credited to him, yet it is known that he was a charitable man. He lived simply, though he could have easily outshine many a man in the ostentatious display of luxury. He went about his work quietly and kept a poise that marked him as a man of extraordinary common sense. The late John Overton, John Gaston and the late Col. Joslah Patterson were his friends. Sid M. Neely was his closest adviser. There were 9,827,763 negroes in continental United States in 1910, according to a preliminary statement issued by Director Durand of the bureau of the census yesterday. The statistics, which were prepared under the direction of William C. Hunt, chief statistican for population, are subject to revision. Of the total number of blacks 209 per cent. or 2,050,656, were reported as mulatto, that is, according to the census definition, all persons, not full-blooded blacks, having some proportion or perceptible trace of African blood in them. The Kentucky Daughters of the American Revolution are pleased by the passage of the bill in congress appropriating money to mark the trail of Daniel Boone. Suitable milestones will be set in place to commemorate the journey of the pathfinder of Kentucky. The Virginians are setting up stones to show the paths of the first traders. Perhaps unappreciation of the colored journal comes more from the fact that but few persons actually read all its columns, remarks the Illinois Chronicle. A hasty glance at the headlines, a peep at the editortals and a skimming of the locals constitute the average reader's attention to the weekly issue. The opinion from such cursory reading then follows that the "negro paper is no good—no news—not worth reading." Give the papers a change to prove their worth. Brains are put into them; use your brains to get the substance out of them. Read them carefully, not one issue, but several, and find out what they contain, then give your honest opinion and let it be unprejudiced, if you please. A tract covering nine city blocks in Wilmington, N. C., valued at about $30,000, has been set apart by an act of congress for a negro school. A $40,000 building is to be erected at once. The tract adjoins the marine hospital. The tight wad gets no reduction in heaven for entering sideways. A negro life-term convict in Michigan City prison, Indiana, was granted leave of ten days' absence August 3 to go to his home in New Albany without guard to see the last of his sister, who was dying. "The only thing that keeps us from having an automobile," says the Lamar (Mo.) Detroetat, "is the fact that we haven't a named thing, to mortgage. Breakers of hearts are generally busted. SHIPS TO GATHER Uncle Sam's Warships Soon to Be Mobilized. New York Will Witness on-October 14 and 15 Greatest Fleet of Fighting Craft Ever Assembled In American Waters. Washington.—New York city will witness on Oct. 14 and 15 the mobilization of the greatest fleet of warships ever assembled in American waters. The navy department issued preparatory orders for the mobilization a few days ago. At the same time the warships of the Atlantic fleet and Atlantic reserve fleet gather in the harbor of New York city the Pacific fleet will mobilize at San Francisco and the Asiatic fleet at Manila. In the mobilization in New York waters will be 120 ships, including the new 26,000-ton dreadnaughts Wyoming and Arkansas. There will be 13 ships assembled at San Francisco and 20 at Manila Rear Admiral Hugo Oderhaus, commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet, will command the mobilization in New York; Rear Admiral Southernland the fleet at San Francisco and Rear Admiral R. R. Nicholson the Manila mobilization. President Taft and Secretary of the Navy Meyer, accompanied by foreign naval attaches and members of both houses of congress will be aboard the new battleship Arkansas on the day of the review, which will probably be on the last day of the mobilization. Oct. 15. The ships will begin assembling in the iliouson river on or about Oct. 12. The last of the arrivals, the torpedo hotta of the reserve fleet, will arrive on the night of Oct. 13. The line of battleships will consist of the Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas Kearnsage, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

Free entertainments are given to rural communities in some counties in Alabama as part of a campaign to induce the people to stay on the land instead of abandoning their farms for city life. This information has been received by the United States bureau of education from E. M. Shackelford, principal of the state normal school at Troy, Pike county, Alabama, who is at the head of the movement. Mr. Shackelford writes: "In my opinion, the exodus of the younger generation from the country to the town is not present the most serious menace to our general welfare. Good roads, motor cars, the telephone and rural mail delivery are improving rural conditions greatly, but rural social life does not yet afford the opportunities for the commerce of ideas that an active, reading, thinking public demands. Hence the tendency to congregate in the centers of population, and hence this effort of ours to afford a few social opportunities through a course of free entertainments." The entertainments consist mainly of lectures, "lantern shows," and selections on the Victrola. Some of the lectures are given at night, and some in the afternoon. Occasionally dinner is provided at the school and an all-day session is held. While this movement was started by the Troy State Normal school, the co-operation of the Alabama state health and medical departments and the various state institutions has been enlisted for supplying speakers, entertainment clubs and other attractions. Most of the entertainers give their services without charge, and transportation is furnished by the owners of automobiles. Friends of the new movement anticipate that it will be a powerful factor wherever introduced in adding to the pleasures of rural life by furnishing additional opportunities to the country folk for recreation, culture and social intercourse. Practical if Not Poetic. W. D. Howells, at a luncheon at Kittery Point, said of a certain popular novelist: "There is about as much poetry in him as there is in McMasters. "McMasters, you know, was walking with a beautiful girl-in a wild New England wood. "What is your favorite flower, Mr. McMasters? the girl pail, rei "McMasters, though, rei ROAD EXPERTS NEEDED. A practical effort to bring the supply of expert highway engineers to the point where they will be numerous enough to meet the demand for their services is to be made at the American Road Congress, to be held on the Million-Dollar Pier, in Atlantic City, September 30 to October 5. At the present time, with the people of the United States spending more than $200,000,000 a year for the improvement of highway's demand for expert highway engineers exceeds the supply. There is to be a conference of educational institutions at the American Road Congress, to be directed by the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, and through this conference efforts are to be made to induce the leading universities to establish specific and practical courses for the instruction of highway engineers. At the present time there are about 82 universities devoting some attention to highway engineering. The instruction in this branch of engineering, however, is, in most cases, merely a part of the general training of engineers, so that there will be a sufficient number of trained men to handle the great problem that has been thrust upon the United States by the widespread agitation for a better system of public highways that will reduce the cost of hauling crops and permit shipments by farmers at all seasons of the year. Prof. Henry H Norris of Cornell university is secretary of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, which is composed of officials of the leading educational institutions having engineering departments. Professor Norris has just sent letters to all the institutions which are represented in their society asking them to appoint delegates to represent them at the convention, which will be part of the American Road Congress at Atlantic City. Prof. William T. Mugrauder, of the Ohio state university, is president of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, while the vice-presidents are Prof. L S Marks of Harvard and Prof. F. W Sperr of the Michigan College of Mines. They believe that if the universities will supply well-equipped engineers it will be a long step towards doing away with the careless supervision of the construction and maintenance of public roads, that now results in the loss of a large percent of the money invested in roads. MUST ANSWER 'QUESTIONS. In the future, when a person calls at the general delivery window of any postoffice will have to answer these questions put by the clerk before he gets his mail: "Are you twenty-one years of age?" "Have you a permanent home in the city?" "Are you using a fictitious name?" "Is this correspondence illegal?" An order issued to postmasters by Dr. C. P. Grandfield, first assistant postmaster general, reads in part: "The attention of postmasters at offices having city carrier service is called to paragraph 2, section 713, postal laws and regulations, compliance with which should prevent the improper use of the general delivery by residents. Postmasters at such offices, may require all persons supposed to be residents to furnish in writing their names and addresses and statements of their reasons for preferring to be served at the general delivery. "Minors calling at such offices may be requested to furnish the information indicated above and also the names of their parents, in order that the parents may be notified and have an opportunity to control the delivery of the mail to the extent authorized by section 643, postal laws and regulations. "Postmasters at offices not having city carrier service may notify the parents of minors in all instances where it appears that the minors are calling at the general delivery for mail under objectionable circumstances." TIME "VIA WIRELESS." The new wireless station at Arlington which will be completed in about a month will act as a clock regulator for thousands of jewelers all over the country. The right time as recorded at the naval observatory will be flashed all along the coast and as far west as the system will reach. The towers are expected to communicate with vessels three thousand miles at sea, but the exact distance they will command over land has not been calculated to a nicety. It is believed that messages will be recorded at least 1,500 miles inland. Many large jewelry stores have notified the navy department that they intend to install wireless receivers so they can get the right time regularly "via wireless." TO MODIFY BROOK TROUT. Uncle Sam is going to try to produce a trout that can live and prosper in the warm water of the sluggish streams of the southern states. An experimental fish station will be established near Washington for that purpose. Congress has provided the money for the work. The fighting brook trout is to be modified, domesticated and made to furnish more food and less sport for the human family. The experts of the bureau of fisheries hope to succeed in getting a trout that will fill the bill, but they recall the fact that many years ago fifty million Pacific coast salmon were planted in the Mississippi river and perished. CALLING WILD BIRDS Imitation That Is Not at All Hard to Achieve Given a Musical Ear With a Little Study the Substitute Will Be an Easy Matter—Naturalness First Requisite. In order to call birds with much success a good musical ear is certainly needed; but any one with patience can lure birds near or bring from them an answer merely by whistling an imitation of their notes. The observer can call numbers of birds to him by sucking his finger or the back of his hand. The sound produced is like that made by a young bird in distress. No other sound will so speedily attract birds, and their response is a touching evidence of the natural affections that they possess. Although this is the best way to bring many birds near, and bring them with dispatch, it has serious drawbacks. Those that come are likely to be fearful and excited, their voices are querulous and their bearing unnatural. Therefore, the experience is not nearly so satisfying or instructive as that of luring a single bird through the powers of attraction and charm, rather than through rousing curiosity and fear. Move quietly and try to put yourself in the bird's place. This act of mind will soften and mellow your whistle, and it will give you a much better chance of success. Perhaps its first answer will be a half-amused, half-amused note of surprise that any bird should whistle so strongly. When a bird is sighted or is thought to be within call give your first whistles gently, and give them to yourself, in order to make sure that you are on the right key. And as far as possible avoid the appearance of being a burter or an object of suspicion. Act naturally. The song of a bird cannot really be well initiated, even by experts, but with a little listening and practice the amateur can whistle the different calls. This innocent, instructive, and diverting pastime proves a great delight to those who love the woods and fields and the wild things that live in them. "Beauty" Treatment Failed: "Beauty Treatment Failed. Because she had a "sweet sixteen" cheek on one side of her face and a much wrinkled and faded "past fifty" cheek on the other a woman in Lyons, France, secured 55,000 damages from a beauty doctor much patronized in that city. She alleged disgreement, and the judge agreed that her face did look very much like a walking certificate of feminine deceit. The doctor advertised in the newspapers that he could restore the beauty of youth by grafting—lifting the skin and sewing it again to the forehead under the hair Madame Berthe Peuffly thought she would like to be a young girl again. She has buried two husbands and is now looking for No. 3. The beauty doctor operated. His method succeeded beautifully on the right cheek. The left one, however, refused to succumb to the treatment—a most provoking rebellion. "Have patience," pleaded the doctor, "we will yet succeed. See, Madame, the loveliness, the delicate youth of your right cheek!" The lady, however, could only see the faded accusativeness of the left side of her face. Indignant, ashed, she sought her lawyer, who took the case into court, and won. His Lordship's Beard. A certain peer, an important figure in the Upper Chamber by reason of a very long and very bushy beard, had dismissed his valet for the night. Shortly afterwards, however, he was much annoyed to hear peals of laughter from below, and called back the man to explain. The valet answered that it was just a little joke, but his lordship would have none of it, and demanded the details angrily. "Well," admitted the man, with reluctance, "it was really a little game we were having, my lord." "What game?" "Well, my lord, a kind of guessing game." "Don't be a fool, Walters! I rang for you in order to get an explanation. What guessing game were you playing? Guessing what?" "We blindfolded the cook, to tell you the truth, my lord, and then one of us kissed her, and she had to guess, who it was. The footman held the mop up, and she kissed it, and then cried out, "Oh, your lordship; how dare you!"—London Mall. Had the Last Smile. A lady, having left her umbrella in a tram car, applied for it at the office. "Oh, you ladies, you ladies!" said the official in charge, as he brought about 30 umbrellas for her inspection; "you are so terribly forgetful." The lady smiled as she calmly pointed out to him that, with the exception of three, they were all gentlemen's umbrellas. Doing Very Well. "He has energy enough to roll 'its own' cigarettes and to carry a large cane. You can't expect too much of a young feller." The practically harren Hawaiian island of Lanai will be reclaimed by a water conservation scheme and devoted to sugar beet culture. NOT CAST FOR FISH Game Warden Had the Line, but Little Else. Smiled When Caught With Two Lines Out, Which He Knew Was Contrary. to the Law, and He Laughed Last. Zeb Jenkins came in sight and was walking pretty rapidly for him. Getting within halling distance he called out: "I jest see the funniest thing you ever see!" "What was it?" I asked when he got a little closer. He was so full of laugh and so out of breath through his unwonted exertions that he was entirely unable to say anything at first. But presently he began: "I been down to the lake all the mornin' trollin' fer pickl'rel. Joe Bridges was out in a boat kind o' lazyin' 'round fishin'. I passed him encet and noticed he had two lines out. "Better look out," I says. "You're bustin' the law. You hain't up right to fish with more'n one line. The game warden's liable to show up any time." "O, pshaw!' he says. 'I ain't 'fraid o' no game warden; 'specially no such poor excuse as Bob Dawson.' "All right,' I says. 'El he gifts you, jest remember I warned you.' "I rowed across to that deep place over near the other side. The fish got to hitin' purty good, and I forgot all about Joe and his two lines. The sun was hotter 'n it began' to make me sleepy. By and by I heerd a shout: Hey, you, come in to shore! I want to see you.' I looked around, and it was the game warden, standin' on shore lookin' mighty important and yellin' to Joe. Joe looked up in a leisurely kind of way and says: "What do you want?" "You're arrested—that's what I wagt!" "All right,' says Joe; 'come and git me!" "By thunder, I will!" says the warden. "He goes and gits a boat and starts out toward whar Joe is. I kind o' moved over that way to watch proceedin's. Joe set still and kep on fishin'. When the warden got close to Joe he yells out: 'Now, you come along here! you're vilatin' the stattoons and I've caught you red-handed.' Joe didn't move, so he says agin: 'Come here!' "No, sir,' says Joe. 'I don't move an inch. If you want me so gold-danged bad, you'll hev to tow me ashore.' "Well, they didn't seem to be nothin' else to do, so the warden hitches a rope to Joe's boat and begins to row him toward land. Did you ever tow a boat single-handed? Well, then you know it ain't no easy job, 'specially in the hot-sun. The warden keeps rowin' and sweatin', and Joe sets back in his boat calm and serene like the Gatobar of Brooda, both lines traillin' behind. Finally they gets to shore, and the warden says: 'Now, pile out o' there.' "Joe steps out and stands on shore, and the warden jumps into Joe's boat and pulls in one line. Well, they ain't nothin' on it. He throws it into the boat and starts to pull in the other one. "Something on this!" he says. With that he gives a yank and pulls in—what do you s'pose? Three bottles o' beer! Ha! Ha! I be'n laughn' ever sence. Never see any one look so dumfounded. Well, s'long! I got to git along and tell all the boys 'fore the warden gits up here."—Puck. Tough on the Old Man. The occasion was a choice little tea party on the lawn, and the hostess was beaming and busy among her guests. "Yes," she remarked, "my little girl is very clever. She can imitate almost anyone." "She can, my dear," echoed the host delightedly. "Come, Alice, show what you can do. Pretend to be the housemaid." The little girl, eagerly enough, came forward and bowed to one of the guests. "Will you take some more tea, madam?" she asked politely. Then she turned to another guest: "May I move your chair, madam? The sunlight is very strong." At this the guests were exceedingly interested and asked for more. "Imitate your papa, dear," said one. Backing away from her father Alice exclaimed in a terrified tone: "Sir, let me go! Don't touch me, sir! Give you a kiss, indeed! Supposing the missus was to hear you?" Real or Imitation: Sir Thomas Lipton was talking about pure food laws to a New York reporter: "And that reminds me," said Sir Thomas, "of my youth, when I was running my first shop and sleeping under the counter. "A rival in the next street was selling notoriously bad goods, and I heard a story about him with delight. "It seems that a customer entered his shop and asked for a pound of butter. "Yes, sir," said my rival. "The real or the imitation, sir?" "What was it you sold me yesterday? inquired the customer. "That was the real, sir." "Then give me the imitation." HUGHITT SAYS MUST KNOW MEN TO SUCCEED The most consistently inconsistent human paradox of these strenuous times celebrated hfs seventy-fifth birthday anniversary in and about Chicago the other day rounding out a pretty fair record for having never done the expected thing at the expected time. PETER H. BURKE Inconsistency is his middle name. He revels in it by day and dreams by night of new outrages against the natural law and order of things. If we were scheduled to take the trip with Charon tomorrow morning he would either go to night or wait until tomorrow afternoon, charter a scow and negotiate the Styx by himself. He has made a dozen or more millions out of his inconsistencies. With him they are marketable commodities with fixed values. His aptitude for the unexpected rescued him from the turmoil of a farmer's life and left him serene-and satisfied at the head of a railroad system of some 9,000 miles of track and $200,000,000 of assets. This man—his name just happens to be Marvin Hughitt—spent his 21, 33d day being exactly as consistent as he has been throughout the other 27,392. "I don't see why any one should be interested in my birthday anniversary," said Mr. Hughitt at his summer home in Lake Forest. "Why do they keep reminding me that I am getting so close to the end of my rope? "You know, I have a contession to make, and my birthday anniversary is a good time to make it. Really—I don't deserve half the credit I have been given for the remarkable success of the great railroad I happen to preside over. "I'll tell you the honest truth. It wasn't I who did it. It was the small army of efficient and faithful men I had around me." Mr. Hughitt declared that the secret of advancing is to know men. Hughitt is not of the Hawley or Harriman type of railroad magnates. He was essentially a builder, never a gambler. His life has been one of constant and steady growth, with none of the great successes and failures which left both these others bent and seared. He is as straight as an Indian alert and handsome as are few men at his age. The folks expected him to stay at home and make something of a celebration of the event. Instead he went to the office, intent upon running the railroad. But everybody at the office seemed to expect him, so he decided to go calling on friends. SUBJECTS OF KING OF SIAM PAY NO TAXES Traditional mental pictures of the king of Slam and the land over which he rules were ruthlessly destroyed the other day by Harry, D. Warner, former Minneapolis man, who left America August 25 to return with his bride to Bankkok, the Siamese capital, where he is the representative of a big American corpotion. He made ruthlessly de-stroyed the other day by Harry, D. Warner, former Minneapolis man, who left America August 25 to return with his bride to Bankkok, the Slamese capital, where he is the representative of a big American corpotion. He made the long journey to Minneapolis to marry Miss Harriet M. Riggs. Of Vajiravudh, king of Siam, Mr. Warner, said: "Instead of having 600 wives and drowning the ones that displease him in sacks with wildcats, as the old-time story books used to say, he hasn't even one wife. "Instead of riding about on the back of an elephant, he owns forty automobiles and keeps them all in use. "Instead of being educated only in the mystic lore of the Orient, he is an Oxford graduate and the author of "The War of the Polish Succession." "Instead of shrouding his country in the traditional weird customs of the east, he is doing his best to make the land as occidental as possible. "Instead of surrounding himself with curiously robed white-bearded patriarchs to aid in the government, he pays J. I. Westengard of Chicago $25,000 a year to be special adviser, riding around in automobiles and thinking up new schemes for civic improvements. "Instead of oppressing his subjects, though he is an absolute monarch, he levies virtually no taxes at all, practically all of the revenues needed for the government being obtained from the crown teakwood forests and jewel mines. "Instead of maintaining a mysterious capital surrounded by an ancient wall, he has in Bangkok a modern city of nearly 700,000 inhabitants, paved and electric lighted, with an electric tramway system, four steam railroads, a fire department, police force, public health service, three newspapers, hospitals and European hotels. "Siam is no toy kingdom. The country is larger than England and Wales combined and has a population of 16,000,000. Though Buddhism is the state religion, Christianity is not discouraged." MRS. ADAMS' EXPERIENCES IN SOUTH AMERICA Mrs. Harriett Chalmers Adams, woman explorer of South America, of South America, and the wife of Franklin Adams of the Pan-American Union, has returned to the United States from another trip to hitherto unknown parts of South America. She has now traveled more than 40,000 miles on that continent. Speaking of her experiences, she says: "I have ```markdown ``` gone through experiences such as, I am convinced, no white woman has had. I have circumnavigated the South American continent, covering more than 40,000 miles, and have penetrated savage wildernesses where no white man had ever been. I have climbed mountains, walked in the extinct crater of Mount Misti, wandered in regions of mountain cold where my eyelids froze, and, descending into the Amazonian wilderness', stayed in a region infested by vampires—creatures which until then I imagined to be pure myths. I have stood on the site of what is possibly the world's oldest civilization, and have studied ruins built before the time of Babylon." Mrs. Adams has spent about eight years in exploration. In this work and pleasure she discovered, high in the Andes, an unknown river of peat—an important geographical discovery, which sheeds new light on the geologic formation of the continent She was the first white woman to invade the interior wilderness of Peru; where she wandered about the gourdes of the Amazon. In company with jazmins, monstrous snakes and other wild animals, none of which ever harmed or even attacked her, which led Mrs. Adams to the conclusion that no wild beasts are dangerous unless first attacked themselves by men. On this trip Mrs. Adams came to a region infested by vampires, which previously she had believed to be in mythical, and spent a night—the most horrible, she says, of her life—among them.

LONDON LORD MAYOR'S EXPENSES EXCEED SALARY To be lord mayor of London coast a lot of money, the New York Times correspondent writes. He receives $50,500 a year in salary, free of income tax, but is expected to entertain lavishly; in fact, when the corporation in 1873 fixed the amount of his present emolument it recommended that the lord mayor should show hospitality and attention to J. B. the other municipalities of the kingdom, the representatives of the city guilds and the trading and commercial classes of London. Interest in the heavy pecuniary burden the lord mayor has to bear is revived through a motion pending in the city of London corporation in regard to the question of the lord mayor's expenses "owing to altered circumstances." Since 1873, when the matter of the lord mayor's salary was last discussed officially, the expenses of the office have increased enormously. Probably none of the incumbents of the office in recent years has been able to defray the costs of the honor out of his salary, large as it is. It is asserted that one lord mayor spent $150,000 in his year of service out of his own pocket, while the minimum expenditure is said to be about $10,000. Away back in 1774, the year before the system of compensating the lord mayor through certain dues was abolished, John Wilkes received about $21,000 and spent more than $41,000. After Wilkes' term the salary for 60 years was $5,000 with some allowances, and later these included about $16,500 paid by the corporation for the expenses of the mansion house, the lord mayor's official residence. This system was in force until the present salary was granted. In addition to what he now receives, the corporation spends from $20,000 to $40,000 a year on mansion house expenses. Those who have witnessed the lord mayor's show get an idea of one very heavy burden which the lord mayor had to bear in part. When the present lord mayor assumed office, the "show" included a historical pageant with costumes that were worth a small fortune. Fashion's Dire Requirement The greatest destruction of wild animal life in the history of Siberia was caused last year by the requirements of fashion. The returns for the fur trade—$4,000,000—exceeded those of 1910 by half a million dollars. Growing Hops in Italy. Successful experiments in hop growing have been made in Italy. Heretofore, hops have been imported. The consumption of beer in Italy is said to be almost 26,000,000 gallons a year. "Make hay while the sun shines" I putting in a good supply of wood and coal for winter use while the price of same is within your reach. Continuous war should be made on the cigarette smoking habit, especially among the small boys. Save the boys from the effects of the "coffin tacks." The Democratic party is a party of race prejudice, discrimination, jim crow cars, lynch law, etc. Just how any sane colored man can cast a vote for its candidate for President, is past finding out. Those of our citizens who are taking pride in improving their homes, etc., are to be commended. There is nothing, like having pleasant and comfortable home surroundings. They will assist greatly in keeping the boys and girls at home. and corner hangers owe to reign supreme on some of our streets and corners. A little more vigilance on the part of our guardians of the peace will do much toward ridding our community of the nuisance. Real estate activities continue to be a part of our people here. Hardly a week passes but that some valuable piece of property situated on some prominent thoroughfare passes into the hands of our people. It is an encouraging sign for any people when their property eccessions continue to multiply. In our community we have a number of men who for years have been earning lucrative salaries, and today they cannot make the show of men who earn any more than five or six dollars per week. These men are not deserving of the positions they occupy The Savannah Tribune, a weekly paper published by and for the colored people of the city, is an excellent paper and we recommend it to our people. We have read it every Saturday for the last four years and we are glad to state that The Tribune has always been a strong advocate of every good cause for the temporal and moral welfare of the colored race in this community; it has always given a fair and impartial tribute to the work accomplished by the Catholics in this city—St. Benedict's Messenger. The people of Alabama boast, and justly so, of the fact that during the past year not a lynching has taken place within the state. In the light of the past history of the state, this recent record is an enviable one. We doff our hats to the people of Alabama and especially the state officers for the success of their efforts to blot out the great lynching evil. What has been done in Alabama can be done in Georgia and other southern states. Let the state and county officers get busy and Judge Lynch's rule will be of short duration. We trust that our own state will follow the lead of her sister state and do likewise. The abrupt and unsatisfactory termination of the B. M. C., recently held in Atlanta, is much regretted by all well meaning and deep thinking members of the race. Prior to the meeting, the news was sent broadcast over the entire country that the Grand United Order of, Odd Fellows, one of the greatest Negro secret organizations in the world, was to convene in Atlanta in what would be the greatest meeting in its history. The eyes and ears of the entire country were turned toward Atlanta, being anxious as it were, to know of the progress of the great meeting of Negroes As per schedule, the monster parade of the order in which all of its various branches took part, was held and much to the credit of the order, the press of the city spoke in unstinted praise of the parade as being one of the largest and most representative ever seen on the streets of Atlanta. Those of us who love the race and glory it its achievements were just in the act of congratulating ourselves and the order on the success of its session when to our surprise the information reached us that amidst dissension and turmoil the meeting was suddenly adjourned. This is indeed to be regretted. At the same time we are at a loss for words of condemnation sufficiently strong for the leaders of the order for their failure to get together on common ground for the good of the order. The Negroes' inability for self government has been a terrible indictment against us for some time. Much of the opposition to us is builted on the belief that our distrust and lack of confidence in each other is so strong that it matters not how vital an issue may be. we cannot and will not get together in defense of each other even when it is for the common good of us all. It is hardly possible to conceive of a gathering of any large number of people in convention assembled where discussions, counter discussions and differences of opinion will not prevail. It is a wise gathering however that can patch up its differences in such a way that the will of the majority, rightly exercised, will become the accepted mandate of all. This, we regret to say, the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows failed to do. And in their failure the very title of the order becomes a misnomer. Sooner or later, our fraternal leaders must realize that bickerings and petty strife are not at any time conducive to the maintenance and growth of their charges. Neither will they add to the permanent strength and influence of those who bask in the sunshine of them. The world is beginning to have very little patience with those of us who live, and happily too., in an atmosphere of notoriety born of unseasoned and uncalled for opposition to any and all things for the common good. The requirement of the world today is the subjugation of self for the good of a cause. The sooner our fraternal leaders realize this, the better it will be for the race. The race has gained little by the recent session of the B. M. C. It has lost a great deal. It is decidedly up to the leaders of the great order, those upon whose shoulders the mantel of the great and illustrious Peter Ogden have fallen to make reparation for its recent mistakes. May this reparation be forthcoming and in a way satisfactory to all concerned. Waycross Dots. St. Paul Church held its regular services on Sunday. Rev. W. J.

LLOYD who departed this life Sept. 25, 1900. Far from this world is he, From strife, tumult and pain, From scenes where satan wages still His most successful war. The calm retreat, the silent shade, With prayer and praise agree; And seem by thy sweet bounty made For those who follow thee There like the nightingale he pours His solitary lays; Nor asks a witness of his song Nor thirsts for human praise. What thanks I owe thee and what love, A boundless, endless store Shall echo through the realms above When time shall be no more. His Mother, Clarissa Lloyd. W. H.

WHERE LOVE ISSENT Dexter Chose a Girl Who Didn't Know Beans. "It beats me," Grandmother Grey invariably remarked, whenever wedding bells disturbed the quiet atmosphere of Chasefield, "why Dexter Hanson doesn't marry. Half the young folks that get married round here haven't a cent to their names, but they seem as happy and cheerful as kings and queens. And Dexter has a fine farm all stocked ready for him, and his Pa and Ma just aching to move to the village. "He's good looking enough, the girls seem to like him, and he's been pestering after them ever since the first day he went to school. It beats me!" It "beat" many a pretty young country girl who secretly thought of Dexter's handsome face and easy manners, too, as well as many a designing mother who thought more about the farm that was his for the taking. "But you know," Mrs. Hanson said mildly, "I was not always as capable as I am now, Dexter. I had to learn by experience just like everyone else!" "You're the best girl I know of, at any rate," her handsome son always replied, and with that she was forced to be satisfied. Mrs. Hanson returned from the missionary meeting one early summer afternoon very much excited. "Father," she said, "I've taken a boarder for the summer—I hope you are not going to mind about it. I declare I spoke right out before I thought, and then I hated to go back on my word. The minister had a letter from a minister friend from the city saying that some nice girls from his church wished to come out here for the summer; working girls, you know, who haven't much money to spend, and who want to stay with a private family. "I picked out a teacher. Her name is Molly Prescott. I've always wanted a girl round the place you know, father," she added hesitatingly. "Of course you can do as you like, but it don't seem necessary for you to take in boarders, mother," answered Mr. Hanson, heartily. Dexter smiled over his mother's story. He smiled again when he was commissioned to meet the young teacher at the station. "Mother thinks she will try city girls on me for a change," he said with a laugh as he drove away. The girl on the platform looked white and timid. Her lovely dark eyes seemed to question him anxiously. "Would you like to drive?" he asked, as he helped her into the carriage. "Oh no!" She looked quite alarmed. "I am not accustomed to horses," she added apolgetically, "and this one seems so large and strong." Dexter gathered up the reins almost impatiently. "Mother will have a nice time of it looking after her all summer," he thought. And he said very little on the homeward drive. "Dexter," said his mother several weeks later, "I can't see what you dislike about Molly. She's the dearest girl I ever knew!" "I never cared over much for vines mother. I've always preferred something that could stand up by its own strength." "Whatever do you mean, Dexter Hanson? Molly was left alone when she was a little girl, and she educated herself and fought her own way in that dreadful, unfeeling city, until I wonder where her courage came from! "Yet she's afraid of cows and little green snakes," observed Dexter, teasingly. "Just as I'd be afraid on the city streets at night, because I am not accustomed to them. And Dexter, I wish you would not say so much about girls who can cook and sew and drive horses—she feels it, poor child. She has wanted to learn from me, but I tell her to keep out in the sunshine when she has a chance." "Of course I was only in fun, mother, but if she is too sensitive even to joke, I'll certainly, desist," he answered with a provoking smile. Still he was kinder to the girl in a patronizing sort of way, from which she seemed to shrink to his mother's protection. "Do you suppose you could get supper for Dexter and Mr. Brady tonight?" asked Mrs. Hanson one day after the early dinner. "Father and I have got to go to town and can't possibly get back. I'll leave everything ready, and show you where to find the things." "Oh. I shall be glad to do it for you, dear Mrs. Hanson," cried the girl, smiling in spite of the sinking of her heart. To stay alone without a person in sight—and to get supper for the young man who thought a girl ought to know how to cook! Molly never heard a word of what was being said to her until Mrs. Hanson lifted the cover of the kettle at the back of the stove. "You can put on these beans, Molly. They'll keep warm, and the men like them boiled down like this." Left to herself, Molly carefully locked every door, and cowered in the darkened kitchen. An hour dragged by, and then a step on the flagged walk outside seemed to cause her heart to turn a complete somersault. Peeping through the curtain she beheld the two ragged children who often came to see Mrs. Hanson. "Oh, come in," she cried, dragging them in joyously. If only she could keep them with her! Conversation dragged, but the children looked pinched and hungry. "Do you like warm beans?" she asked suddenly as they became uneasy. Their expression was enough. Molly dished beans lavishly, and spread big slices of bread and butter. Never had she so much enjoyed seeing anyone eat! But when they departed, Molly looked at the kettle in distress. Where was the men's supper? "I'll look in the pantry," she cried at last with a happy thought. "I must not let Dexter Hanson laugh at me!" There was a big bowl of late roses in the center of the supper table, and Dexter had to own to himself that he liked the innovation. He had to own too, that the girl in the white frock, with the rose-flush in her cheeks, make a fascinating picture as she poured the tea. He noted the nervous flutter of her pretty fingers, and his heart smote him. "Mr. Brady was in a hurry to get home, so he did not stop for supper," he explained, helping himself generously to the tempting beans. Molly, glancing at him, noted the astonished look when he placed some of the beans in his mouth. She hastily tasted her own; in the tender lusciousness, her teeth encountered one—two—hard, unresisting objects. The blood pulsed in her cheeks, and she pressed her hands over her eyes, breaking into nervous sobs. Dexter rose quickly. It was very annoying to have a woman cry! Still he went hastily round the table and put his hand gently on her shoulder. "Don't feel so badly," he murmured awkwardly, looking down at her. The soft waves of her hair took on unmistakable charms seen so alluringly near. Choking back her sobs, the girl rose hurriedly. "Molly, Molly," he said, folding her suddenly in his arms. "Tell me about it—dear!" To his joy, the unexpected tenderness of his manner broke down her reserve and she sobbed softly—it justified his comforting her. It was certainly very satisfying to feel her soft hair beneath his lips, her tender cheek pressed against his shoulder. "Those poor Fraley children came," she whispered, "and they looked so hungry that I gave them most of our supper. Then I thought I would put in more beans—I did not know it took so long for beans to cook!" "I did not know it myself, dear," he declared solemnly. "And I wanted to keep the children because—Dexter, I was afraid here, all alone! I know it seems silly to you, but I'm used to living where I can call the police at any moment, and it seems so dreadful not to be able to see anyone at all!" "Of course it does, Molly. I do not wonder you are afraid, but you'll get accustomed to it. "Sweetheart, I can't let you go back to the city. Will you stay here—with me?" "But I cannot cook," murmured Miss Prescott, meekly. "Mother will love to teach you." "And I am afraid of cows—and of those great, high-headed horses." "You are not afraid with me dear, and you have no need to go near them alone." "But no sensible farmer man would want such a wife—I'm not nearly as smart as your mother." "Don't tell her so, Molly. She thinks you are the bravest girl in the world." "What will your friends think to know you have chosen a girl who doesn't know—beans?" "Molly," he cried, kissing her, "they will never know it!"

The Metropolitan museum of New York city received out of the blue sky, as it were, and without warning, a few months ago a bundle of securities aggregating about a million dollars, the income of which was not to be used the benefit of the museum according to the judgment of the trustees without a single condition. The donor was one of New York's quiet, little known Croesuses—or Croesi, if that sounds any better. Upon recovering their breath the trustees conferred one with another as to how they should show their appreciation of this remarkable munificence. No better way occurring to anybody, they elected him a member of the board. He accepted and, arriving late at his first meeting, took a seat in a quiet corner and listened to proceedings with intelligent interest, but without comment of his own. At the close of proceedings, as the trustees were about to separate and go their different ways, the donor of a million plucked one of them by the sleeve and drew him aside. "Say," he said, glancing nervously around to make sure that he was not overheard, "I had to pay 25 cents to get into the museum today." 'GOOD THING' REMOVED "GRAND YOUNG BOOB" OF BROADWAY PASSES AWAY. Death of Irving W. Childs, Who Spent Several Fortunes on the "Great White Way," Brings Real Sorrow to Many. New York.—There is real sorrow in the night living colony of Broadway for the death of Irving W. Childs, who died the other day at the age of 26. It is not the grief which Broadway feels when bankruptcy or parental intervention, or even death, takes away a "good thing." Childs would have been beloved on Broadway if he had not inherited $700,000 from his millionaire father, William Henry Harrison Childs of Brooklyn, and even had he not thrown the money away with both hands. With the age of a man and his great fortune, he combined a clownish youthfulness, a gay recklessness, a baby-like faith in adventure, mystery and romance and an Aladdin-like luck which gave Broadway a good healthy laugh every time he appeared on the faded, sensation-weary street. Young Childs died of pneumonia. He fell an easy prey to the disease because his search for pleasure and excitement had completely exhausted his nerves and vitality. Broadway called Childs—more in affection than in ridicule—the "Grand Young Roob." By which Broadway meant that anybody could get money from him at any time and have fun in doing it. The youth had a great ambition to be a detective. When the benevolent sheriff, Harburger, gave innocent pleasure to many imaginative millionaires by appointing them his deputies, Childs was one of the very first in the line of applicants. As soon as he was appointed he had a gold badge studded with diamonds made at Tiffany's and a pair of solid gold handcuffs. The outfit cost him $2,400 and he displayed it on the slightest excuse. Policemen and detectives, of whom he knew scores, made harmless spending money by permitting him to make arrests for them, after they had marked down men for whom they had warrants. Childs would pay from $100 to $500 any moment for the privilege of laying his hand on a criminal's shoulder and saying: "I arrest you in the name of the state of New York," snapping the gold handcuffs over his prisoner's wrists. When no criminal was available it was necessary to resort to indirection by introducing him to somebody as "Mr. Irving Childs, formerly of Scotland Yard and one of our keenest amateur detectives—does stunts that make Sherlock Holmes look like a flour-flusher." The new, made acquaintance could always borrow all the money Childs had about him and he seldom started the evening with less than $500. His spendthrift ways would long ago have broken him had it not been for his luck in speculation. He would bull or bear the stock market in brokers' offices in the uptown hotels with spectacular success. Wall street was too far downtown for him to go to the market, he used to say, so he made it come to him; and it did. He usually determined his trades by the toss of a coin. Another under-surface indication of a system behind Childs' playfulness was his refusal to sign checks except inside the doors of a bank. He had running accounts at a hundred hotels and restaurants. "Put my name where fifty people would have a chance to study my signature and forge it," he said. "and me a detective! Not on your life!" So he would have a waiter or a clerk sign his name for him; everybody knew him and knew he was responsible for his debts. A woman wearing handsome furs could borrow any amount of money from Childs on two minutes' acquaintance. This idiosyncracy more than once caused speculative friends to dress a waitress or a chorus girl in hired furs and introduce her to the young man in order to share with her the price of a champagne dinner. The "Grand Young Boob" favorite indoor sport was giving chop suey contests. He would frequently take six, ten or all the members of a chorus to a Chinese restaurant and give a prize of $100 to the damsel who stowed away the greatest quantity of the stuff. Childs was separtaed from his wife, who was Gertrude Westfall of Brooklyn. They have one child. Childs eloped with his wife, although there was no opposition to their marriage. Recently after she obtained a legal separation he won her back, but lost her again when he drifted into his old ways. Wives Sold In Hungary. Vienna.—Judging from a story coming from Szinervaralja, wives are still bought and sold in Hungary. A house painter there named Marton sold his wife to a comrade for $100. After the contract for the sale had been duly signed the three signatory parties adjourned to a restaurant, where they enjoyed a festive repast costing half as much as the selling price of the wife. After the feast the woman went to the home of her new husband. Hillsdale, N.

Bolivia has taken a most unique way among the South American countries of observing its national birthday. It proposes to celebrate by opening a railway which will give it a short line across the coast range of the Andes down to the ocean. Bolivia's July 4th, that is, its independence day, comes on August 6th, and this is the day set for opening the railroad which connects the capital La Paz with Arica on the Pacific. Dolivia itself is one of the most interesting countries in the world. It sometimes has been called the imprisoned country because it had no coast line. Its great table land or plateau sustains more than 1,000,000 inhabitants at an altitude of nearly two miles. There is no part of the world where so large a number of people find the means of subsistence at such an elevation, Tibet, as is well known, has very few inhabitants—Christian Herald. VALUABLE FIND OF OAK. A rich flind of black oak has just been made on a farm near Hull, England. The farm recently changed hands, and the new owners decided to clear away a wood which stood upon it. In excavating to remove tree roots the workmen discovered several trunks of black bog oak, and further investigations revealed hundreds of trunks of oak under the ground. They were in splendid condition, and had evidently been buried a century or more. It is customary to bury oak in order to turn it black and thus increase its value. Evidently that had been done in this case, but the death or removal of the proprietor of the farm caused it to be forgotten, and it lay undisturbed, and other trees were planted on the top of it. So great is the quantity and so compactly is it buried that explosives are being used to loosen it. The value of the oak is believed to be considerable. HAVE IT IN FOR SCHWAB. "Whenever the name of Charles M Schwab is mentioned, even the mildest-mannered man in the foreign contingent in Pekin breaks into strings of abuse," says a letter from there. "The steel man, on the first day he was in the Chinese capital, went from his hotel to the Temple of Heaven and back in a rickshaw. The coolo's legitimate tariff was ten cents, but Schwab, with a flourish, handed him $5 and walked away. Never again did he come out of the hotel without it being necessary to call the reserves of the Chinese police force to quell the disturbance created by the efforts of one hundred rickshaw men to secure him as a passenger. Moreover, it was not until several months later that the other foreigners were able to convince the coolies that the-rate set by Mr. Schwab was not a working standard." YESTERDAY.

A missionary in China writes that the price of opium is now higher than ever on account of the stringent measures taken by the government to suppress the cultivation of the poppy. "This rise in price," he says, "has one good feature. Raw opium is a poison, and when the crop is in hundreds of women utilize it as a means of ending their troubles. Now, however, the price is so high that the rolls of opium contain only about three parts of opium to seven of leather waste. At least ten such rolls are needed to produce death, and each roll costs ten cash, or one cent. The price of suicide by opium is, therefore, ten cents, which is much more than most of those destring death can possibly scrape together. If other words, suicide is now a luxury which only a few can afford." INVENTOR OF VOLAPUK. While the Esperanto congress was in session at Krakau recently the news was received of the death at Konstanz of Dr. Martin Schleyer, who about thirty years ago gave to the world the form of a "universal language," which he called Volapuk. The word was derived from the two English words "world" and "speak." The language, with its 1,306 "root words," was studied diligently by many people, some of whom predicted its speedy universal adoption. But this did not deter Dr. Zamenhof from proceeding with his work in the same direction, which he finally "published over the name Dr. Esperanto. Commenting on the work of the two men, a writer in the Berlin Post says, in conclusion: "Schleyer died at eighty-one; his language died before him. Zamenhof is still alive, and his language is known as Esperanto." LIKED THE SLIDE. A jolly little English bulldog, first interfered with, and then boosted the shoot-the-chutes game of some boys in an amusement park of St. Louis on the Fourth of July by its determination to join the gang. The boys, thinking one trip would be sufficient to warrant retirement, gave him a start, but after its first slide, it wagged the merriest kind of a tail and made a bee-line for the ladder, which it tried to mount for the next trip. The next hour was spent in carrying the dog to the top of the chute and then ranging themselves alongside for the cheering, as he slid past. LUNATIC AS DOCTOR. While a prominent specialist was absent from the consulting room in Berlin the other day, a lunatic managed to obtain admission, and posed as the doctor to the many patients who called, giving them prescriptions and advice. There appeared to be nothing unusual in his manner until a lady who was a constant patient asked him if he was acting as substitute during the holidays. The impostor laughed, and told her to take peppermint lozenges for her lung trouble. The woman raised the alarm, and the madman was taken into custody. Considerable anxiety is felt for the other patients, for whom he may have prescribed poison. All the pharmacists have been advised of the affair. OFFICIALISM IN GERMANY. It is estimated that an eighth of the male Germans whom the census returns as independently earning a living are either permanent officials of state or municipal employees. The Volkspartel leader, Dr. Frederich Naumann, some years ago estimated the state and municipal officials alone at 1,200,000. But these 1,200,000 were all "officials" in the strict sense; and did not include 500,000 state railway employees who are only workers; and also excluded the vast majority of municipal employees who are not "officials". The "official" staff of the state railways number about 36,000; the "official" post and telegraph employees 220,000; the school teachers 133,000. VALUABLE RING RECOVERED. Under remarkable circumstances a valuable gold ring, set with sapphires and pearls, belonging to a resident of Rochester, near Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, England, has been discovered after being missing for over four years. It is assumed that the ring must have been carted away with ashes, for while working on a near-by farm a ballillf found the ring in a field. Although it had been missing for such a lengthy period the ring was not in the least tarnished. The man who was working in the field with the ballillf happened to remember the loss of the ring. HAS PET CHIMPANZEE. Capt. H. W. Long, British royal army medical corps, who has arrived at Plymouth on his way to London from Sierra Leone, has brought home with him a trained female chimpanzee, which he calls Lady Sassa, M. D. When she is given a case of surgical instruments she will select and use a stethoscope, and she is an adept at feeling the pulse. With the thermometer she is equally at home and she always gives it the professional shake before using it. Dispensing is also among her accomplishments. Lady Sassa whistles, but does not talk. WATERPROOFING COTTON. An easy method of waterproofing cotton is the formation of aluminum stearate in the fiber of the cloth, which may readily be done by immersing it in a solution of aluminum sulphate in water (1 in 10), and without allowing to dry, passing through a solution of soap made from soda and tallow or similar fat in hot water. Reaction between the aluminium sulphate and the soap produces aluminium stearate and sodium sulphate. The former is insoluble and remains in the fiber, the latter is removed by subsequently rinsing the fabric in water. FACTS FEATURES and FANCIES for WOMEN NEW YORK.—Many a woman who is careful in summer time to provide herself with a dainty silk or lingerie frock for special occasions finds herself in winter unprepared for a luncheon or card party invitation—unless she attends the function in a dressy chiffon or lace blouse worn with her one good-looking tailored suit. It is the popular idea of the cost of such a costume which discourages most women. Dressmakers talk gibly of charmeuse, crepe meteors, marquisesettes and other expensive fabrics, throwing in reckless suggestions about costly laces, and airily estimate the finished costume, plus their services, at a modest $75 or $100. And so the woman who must buy six frocks—two for herself and four for the children—out of the $100, hopelessly gives up the idea of a dainty "special" gown and provides the dressy blouse which must do luncheon and bridge duty with the tailored skirt. A really charming frock, however—and a frock of rich and distinguished character—may be evolved at quite modest cost in these days of simple models which require but four or five yards of material—if the making thereof can be managed without the assistance of the aforesaid expensive dressmaker; and the little "special" frock will be a joy all winter long—and very likely ymay be used for a dainty house gown the following season. The distinction of the costume described today is due to simple and effective combinations of color and to rich materials modishly used. A gray gown will require two yards of crepe meteor, which allows for a tunic over a drop skirt having a flounce of the crepe meteor at its foot. If both skirts are built of the crepe meteor—not really necessary at all—two yards more of the material must be provided. Match the gray as nearly as possible in thin silk muslin—or any cotton and silk mixture—for the drop skirt. White lawn or batiste might be used, but silk and cotton material will be softer and give better lines to the gown. Drop skirt and tunic are cut with a two-gore pattern, the tunic being several inches wider than the underskirt and gathered slightly into the belt. Allow this extra fullness at the center fold of the material—about six inches to each gore—when the tunic is cut out. The crepe meteor flounce on the drop skirt is merely a continuation of the skirt and should reach well up under the tunic. Finish the flounce and tunic with a two-inch hem, put in with hand stitches. This hand-hemmed finish will add to the distinction of the gown; it is one of the little details for which one pays the high class dressmaker her hundred dollar price. The tunic fastens down the left side and a placket is cut in the drop skirt beneath. This placket, slashed into the two-gore pattern, must be faced and hooked over an extending flap of the material-to-insure sufficient width in the skirt. The tunic is hemmed by hand all the way down and hooked invisibly at the placket, the buttons being added merely as ornaments. The surplice front of the bodice, slanting sharply from midway of the shoulder line, meets the side fastening of the tunic, and the row of buttons on the bodice, continued in the row on the tunic, makes a very graceful line, which adds height to the figure. The bodice should have a lining of thin lawn, the crepe meteor being draped loosely on this bodice. Anything like a snug fit should be avoided, for in the soft grace of such a gown lies its chief distinction. The lawn lining should fasten down the center front, the lace vest, backed with a bit of the white satin, hooking across to the left under the edge of the crepe meteor front. The right edge of the lace vest is fastened under the right surplice front of crepe meteor. Therefore in donning the gown the lining is hooked first; the lace vest is hooked in place under the collar and under the left surplice front, and the lower corner of the right surplice front is then hooked across and the placket of the skirt hooked together. The sleeves, cut in two pieces, to insure a trim fit below the elbow, are also lined with thin lawn and the sleeve is set into the large armhole with a cording of the crepe meteor over quite heavy cable cord. All smart frocks of this nature have corded armholes this season. The diagonally placed row of buttons adds much to the smartness of the sleeve, and the black note of the buttons is repeated in the sash. This sash is about seven inches wide and is double, the soft satin being stitched on the wrong side and turned over with no further stitching. The sash should be very soft and slimpy to give a good effect, but the satin should be rich and soft and not too thin or flimsy in texture. The fringed ends and smart bow must be made, and sewed fast to the gown and fastened across with the fastening of bodice and skirt. Be sure to select cream and, not dead white filet, lace for collar and vest. The collar is a wide. Dutch model, cut away at the front to show the vest, and is bound around the edge with white satin. The best result will be bad by using a blas strip of the satin two inches-wide, easing it around the collar and pressing the binding very flat. A blue frock is easier to make and is delightfully youthful in style, the pretty blue color being relieved just enough by the white collar and frills and the black belt and bow. This frock has a two-gore skirt, gathered into the waistband, but measuring only two and a quarter yards at the foot. The lower edge should be finished with a rather deep hem or facing, set on with hand stitches, and only the softest of petticoats must be worn beneath this skirt, which should cling softly and limply about the feet. Patent leather Colonial pumps with steel buckles and old blue silk stockings will complete the costume very smartly. The opening of the skirt may come at the right side instead of the left side, under the peplum which fastens at the right in an odd and individual manner. This peplum is joined to the waist, which is really the simplest sort of sack model, under a narrow belt. And speaking of this belted in effect, it should be held in mind that all belts now are worn extremely loose. One is able to thrust the whole hand easily under a modishly adjusted belt, and this loose belt, over a loosely adjusted corset, gives natural, youthful figure lines. Cut the bodice in three pieces, a back and two fronts, with long shoulder lines and large armholees. Three-quarter inch tucks, set near together, run down each side of the back and six tucks down each side of the front, the center fronts being finished with a narrow frill of white crepe de chine, set under a facing. The frills on the sleeves are the same width, and all these frills, cut on the straight, are hemmed by hand with a one-quarter inch hem, pressed flat. Be careful, in pressing the white crepe de chine, not to yellow it with too hot an iron. The sleeves are cut in two pieces and hook up the back, under the frill, so that they will hug the arm trimly at the wrist. Bodice and sleeves should be lined with thin white lawn. The collar is a very large one of white crepe de chine, and should reach almost to the waistline at the back and fall far over the shoulders. Face it with a two-inch bias facing and hem the facing daintily by hand. A little black satin bow at the neck echoes the black note of the satin belt. The A peplum is tucked to correspond with the bodice, the tucks being left open at the lower edge. At the front an extra group of tucks is set in exactly at the center and the white frill turns toward the right, over the fastening in sharp contrast to the frill on the bodice.

It makes all the difference in the world whether the fact is covered with a gauze which becomes the features or with one which blurs them and throws deep shadows under the eyes and about the mouth. Many a woman who is regarded as a beauty owes much of that reputation to the fact that she selects her vellings cannily. Craquela or fillet meshes covered with indistinct floral designs greatly becomes the woman with prominent features, and especially if her complexion is a bit sallow. Chenille dots on a thin mesh belong to the woman with a delicate complexion, and when this velling'is all black it lends brilliance to the pink and white tones, and has the effect of deepening the tint of the eyes. The same type of a beauty cannot go far amiss in selecting any of the Russian nets of diagonal cross or hair line mesh. GOOD ROADS Attitude of "Let George do it" Very Much In Evidence in Road-Dragging Proposition. The attitude of "Let George do it" is very much in evidence in the road-dragging proposition, and the city man is always willing to let the farmer do it. Road dragging is an absolutely proved method and it should be done, but by whom? It is true that taxation is never very even, but that is no reason for trying to get something for nothing, says a writer in an exchange. It is said the farmer is benefited by good roads, which is perfectly true, but so are many other people, and the farmer has already paid his road tax, whilst many other users have escaped in part because their property is not so evident to the assessor. The good roads enthusiasm says the farmer can drag roads in his spare time. So he can, and there is no reason why the city man should not hook a drag behind his auto evenings and do some good whilst he gives his family an alrning. None whatever! Lots of autos have plenty of power to pull a road drag. I haven't seen the city man doing this yet, and I don't expect to any more than I expect to see a voluntary system of road dragging successful in the long run because it is entirely inequitable. The commonsense solution is to drag the roads and pay the man who does it a fair remuneration, either in cash or county warrants. If a farmer lives on a road where the wear and tear is continuous the road will need more dragging, though he himself makes no more use of it than his neighbor on a back road, and each should be paid for the work he does and those who do no work should bear their full share of the expense—not expect George to do it all. PAY FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENT In Many Instances Bonds issued by Counties Sold at a Premium—Farmers Gain. There is financial wisdom in floating county bonds for road improvement. In many cases those bonds sold at a premium and everybody interested gains a benefit. In some southern states good roads bonds have brought a price so high that the premium has wiped out two or three years' interest on the principal. In Bradley county, Tennessee, but a few years ago, the supervisors voted a bond issue of $50,000. Those bonds bore interest at the rate of 5 per cent. So enthusiastic were the citizens for road improvement and so much confidence did they have in the locality in which they lived, that the premium was $20,000, the cash sales placing in the county treasury $110,000. It has been ascertained by the office of public roads, the bureau of the federal census, and the land and industrial divisions of twelve great railroads, that the building of modern highways immediataely enhances the value of the property through which they run to a marked extent. This increase is estimated by the most conservative at $2 an acre, and by the more enthusiastic at $9. All concede, however, that the increase is immediate and inevitable. Place the acreage of the rural portion of a county, therefore, at 200,000 acres and the increased valuation due to the construction of better highways at but $4.50 an acre, and it will be seen that the property holders whose land is to be thus benefited would gain not less than $900,000. Gasoline Engines of Binders. Gasoline Engines of Blinders. Where grain is badly laid or the ground wet, there are many advantages to the binder equipped with an engine to drive the machinery, whilst the horses furnish the traction. A binder so equipped has the machinery in full operation when it strikes the grain and the elevators continue in motion when the horses are stopped if too wide a swath has been taken and the aprons choked. Where irrigation ditches have been plowed in or on side hills, the bull wheel will slip sidewise on wet ground, motion is lost and we choke up, have to clear things and begin all over again. Where the bull wheel furnishes the power it is nearly always necessary to drive horses a little faster than desirable to keep up the motion. The supplementary engine does away with all these troubles and is a distinct advantage on the old way. Time and Labor Lost. When farm buildings are so inconveniently arranged that it requires several unnecessary miles every day to do chores, many dollars in time are lost. If the cherry growers will plant mulberries near their orchards their fruit will be protected. HIGH COST OF LIVING Export of Food Products Reaching Vanishing Point. Greatest Needs of Country Are Scientific Agriculture, Good Roads and Consolidated School—Must Learn New Things. (By H. H. GROSS, President of the National Soil Fertility League.) We are consuming practically all we produce. Our export of food products is reaching the vanishing point. The price of meat is soaring and is the highest ever known. It will probably go higher. Between 1900 and 1910 our population increased 15,000,000. The number of meat animals in the same time decreased 20,000,000. In four years our export of live animals fell off 66 per cent and our dairy products exported dropped 75 per cent. In fifty years our population will be doubled. How shall we feed them? It is the most serious problem that confronts the American people today. The tariff and all such questions are merely minor and incidental in comparison. In 1900 for every hundred persons there were 90 cattle. Ten years later there were only 68 per 100. The proportion of hogs dropped from 84 to 60 and sheep from 82 to 51. Think what these figures mean. Cheap meat cannot be made on high-priced land and 60 to 75-cent corn. It can be done with alfalfa and the silo, with a little corn for finishing off. All this is embraced in scientific agriculture. The house of representatives has passed the Lever farm extension bill, which will probably become a law. When the plan is in full force we will be able to double the output of our farms within 10 or 12 years, and more than double the farmer's income. The greatest needs of the country today are scientific agriculture, good roads and the consolidated school. When we learn a few things we ought to know, we will be able to reduce the cost of living very materially and live better at the same time. SOME ENEMIES OF CLOVERS Weakly Plants Coming From Small Seeds at Start Require Room to Develop Strength. Alfalfa and clovers are but weakly, plants coming from small seeds at the start, and they require room to develop into lusty strength if they are to be profitable. Eastward we were all brought up to a practice of sowing grass and clover seeds with grain, which was early removed. The hay plants taking more or less full possession of the soil, and as they failed, blue grass, weeds or some inferior grass took possession of the soil. Here in the west where rainfall is greatest in the spring months, nurse crop and clovers start well together, but pretty soon the moisture is too little for the support of both, and the weaker plants fall. Even where there is more precipitation, grasses and weeds often interfere seriously with the grass crop, and August seeding is now recognized as good practice. Disking at intervals until a good seed bed is secured turms the undesirable plants to the sun and destroys them and frost after a while comes along and destroys the annuals. Clovers and alfalfa, having a free yield, get well established and make some cover for winter, which is well to re-enforce with some manure, the weed seeds in which should not prove troublesome if the clovers and grasses have full possession. Harrowing is good for the crop, distributes the manure and kills the weeds. Never lose sight of the value of hay patch. Even if it is small, it is worth more than other farm crops; indeed, a necessity unless much money and time are to be lost. It is true there are some soils in the arid regions where no free water exists at any depth accessible to alfalfa, and this crop will in three years use up all the soil moisture as well as the rainfall, and in such situations alfalfa cannot be depended on. In many other places, however, the great poist is to help alfalfa to reach free water to make conditions so perfect that it can do so and thus secure a permanent piece of hay ground. Providing Late Forage. An extra profit can be gathered in from the cornfield by drilling cow peas in the corn at the last cultivation, pasturing it off with sheep or hogs when it has made good growth. The sheep will work in the undergrowth and pick off the lower blades of the corn without injuring the main crop. This plan is advocated by the college of agriculture of the University of Missouri, and has been successfully used by many farmers over the state. Some precautions are necessary at the first to prevent bloating of the sheep. New Plow Points A farmer may plow an acre very poorly to save ten cents for a new plow point. Penny wise and pound foolish. Hard and Caked Fields. Do not let the surface of your fields become hard and caked while the crops are growing. You can prevent this by frequent cultivation.

Are you remembering that?—Ashler. “Remember, then, 1 beseech you, that a single intemperate Mason is enough to ruin, in the eyes of many, the character of the whole order. A single profane Mason is enough to blast the reputation of our- principles; and shall we not, forthe sake of the brethren as well as ourselves, take heed to our ways? Do we love Masonry? Let us prove the sincerity of our love, by doing what we profess to do; that is following the guidance of the creat light.”"—Rev. Benjamin Allen, 1827. | The wisdom of Masonry is seen in its great teaching, in its great belief in the supremacy of the spiritual and the moral; for the Order is not an order belieying in atheism or annihilation. It recognizes God as father of all. It looks forward into the future life. It assumes that virture is the one. thing pre-eminent in the world’s history, around which the world/s battles have been fought and towards which the world is struggling onward, if pessible to realize and to attain thereunto.— Rev. George C. Lorimer, D. D. From the commencement of the world, we may trace the foundation_of Freemasonry. When the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters; when the great Jehovah ordained the creation of the world; when the sun first rose to greet with its beams the morning, and the august command was uttered: “Let-there be lighg”” the lips of Diety spoke Masonry into existence and it mustlive forevermore—for truth is eternal, and the principles of truth are the foundation of Masonry. There is something about great pros- perity which makes us hard. There is Something about winning our way that makes us think a Brother who loves must be at fault. The Masonic brother- hood teaches us that in our own needy and barefoot condition—not waiting until we can build hospitals or orphan- ge asylums, not waiting until we cam do something Jarge and great—but each quickened by the sense of his own ‘need, we are to be ever ready to aid a Brother in need. That is the first point of Masonic brotherhood. Iam sure a firm adherence to both letter and spirit of the law will, in the end, best promete the interest,of our institution. Especially is this the case in admiting candidates. Too great cir cumspection cannot be exercised in this respect. It is better that 2 few good men‘fail to gaiu admittance, than to re ceive one unworthy candidate. A long roll of members is not always the best guarantee of a successful lodge; and if numbers are desired, a rigid enforce- ment of the rules will soon lead good men to seek our association. We want the fraternity to grow, but it must bea growth in usefulness, in good work, in strong character.—Selected. | OUR MOTTO: First Class Material and Workmanship LET US DO YOUR __cocsm -: ie s .
